Over Lummi BY GLENN HUGHES The steps of Night quicken, The wind stills
to a faint breath- Cool from the high snow crevices of distant hills;
Over the Sea, Where through the day the grey and purple shadows have been
dancing, Comes a slow and soft-toned pink, Flooding the waters With its
strange and delicate blushes, Till they push upon the land, And the
slapping wavelets turn them back, Piling them on each other In rippling
confusion. See! up over the waves, Out, far out through the hovering mist
of evening, Flaring like a wound in the breast of heaven, Crimson and
gold, and dripping streams of light On the jagged and darkening island,
The Sun cries, "Hail! Farewell!" t-'

7e Way to Universal Peace The second number of the annual lecture course
was a lec-ture by Dr. David Starr Jordan, president emeritus of Leland
Stanford Jr. University. His subject was "The Way to Universal Peace."
Dr. Jordan is one of the world's leaders in the movement for universal
peace. He said that the blame for the wars that come can be laid at the
door of the landed aristocracy, the nobility and the wealthy, who are
exploiters of weaker nations. He declared that a small clique of military
conspiritors plunged Germany into the present struggle, much against the
wishes of Kaiser Wilhelm. There is a military caste in all the warring
nations. Dr. Jordon believes that a democracy is stronger than an
autocracy. A government like that of the United States cannot well be
overthrown, since it rests on a hundred million pillars and it is
impossible that any majority of these pillars can at one time be
undermined or rotten. An empire, on the other hand, rests on one, or, at
the most, a few pillars, and will inevitably fall as soon as those few
supports become weak. It is for this reason that we may look forward to
radical changes in European governments when the war shall end. The
following day, in assembly, Dr. Jordan talked on Mexico. He has traveled
in Mexico, studied the country, and knows much about the conditions
there. He gave something of mie history of the trouble in that unfortunate
country, and discussed the pres-ent status of the war there. To the person
who has formed his opinions of Mexico from the average newspaper and
magazine, this talk was very illuminating. He brought out the justice of
the cause of the Constitutionalists, and at the same time the pur-pose of
the rebels. Right is not all on one side. Dr. Jordan made a powerful
impression on the students. He has a pleasing personality and an air if
simplicity and sincerity. He is kind, truly democratic, and approachable
to all. The crud-est and humblest of Stanford's students always found in
him an interested friend. On the lecture platform he is simple in
de-livery. He has a play of wit, very subtle, but exceedingly human. Dr.
Jordan is ranked as America's greatest ichtyologist, and one of the most
eminent scientists. His field of work covers, also, that of assayist,
geographer, poet, scholar, teacher, administrator and writer of children's
stories. During the last few years he has devoted most of his time to the
promotion of peace and is known all over the world as a leader in this
movement. [I- 1 L-3.

Ce Function of Art in Life Believing that there are many who would wish to
preserve something of the splendid address, delivered this year to the
stu-dents by Dr. Suzzallo, of the University of Washington, we give the
main thoughts in brief form. Man is so small when we think of him in
relation to the uni-verse, yet if he obey the spiritual, moral, and
physical laws, op-portunities come many times when conditions in the world
about him may be changed. Besides the something of the creature which we
find in man, there is something divine-he is half creator. In one case, he
makes himself over. All life is a choosing, a disciplining, in order that
an individual may fit his environment. Numerous phases of life may be
recreated to insure more pleasing surroundings. The function of art is to
make life effi-cient-- at its best to bring the beauties of life to sight.
Continued striving for the congenial and pleasing things, and the desire
to make them permanent, will satisfy the higher planes of nature. A true
artist in life always picks out the best and leaves the rest-sees art in
every walk in life-in every endeavor. Literary expression is likewise
extremely important, in as much as words associate beauty-they bring up
the aesthetic. Words are the most wonderful coins by which we pay our way
into the enchantments of life. The appreciation of beauty in lit-erature
can transform our existence to another-one era to an-other. Then, too, the
function of art is to look on the realities of the world, to see what is
ugly, change and enhance beauty in every possible way. The true gentlemen
and ladies of life are those that see some beauty in everything-who
emphasize that which is con-genial or desirable. Art might be said to
fall into two general classes-great art, and beautiful art. Often in a
scene or landscape there is much of beauty, with little ugliness to hush-
this is beautiful art. But great art can deal with an ugly subject,
bringing beauty from something possessing little. The sculptor who
produced that great work of Laacoon and his sons, was a master hand. In
our daily life, great art is the dealing with stubborn, difficult
situations, and finding beauty in them. Art follows us everywhere-it
should be universal. Let us be devotees of perfect art at all times,
growing through our indi-vidual choices, training our emotions through our
actions. Beauty is idealized reality, and art is realized idealism, so all
may become "fine artists" in life. CV0A

Is Poetry Important? On February 26 Edmund Vance Cooke, the well known
American poet and lecturer, gave in our Auditorium a delightful program
from his own writings. It is seldom that the qualities of good reader and
writer are so excellently combined as is the case of Edmund Vance Cooke.
His rare bits of philosophy are priceless. His easy conversational manner
of rendering his poems is pleasing. Despite the fact that "I am a popular
man," which is the stamp impressed upon his every movement, we as mere
students accept this as a blessing rather than a fault. While reciting the
"Little Tot Lyrics," Mr. Cooke succeeded in taking us conventional, matter
of fact grown-ups back to child-hood days. We were most forcefully
impressed by his keen in-terpretation of "When Company Comes." Mr. Cooke
gave some good character work in his "Fin de Siecle." This sketch gave a
peculiar view of life, as interpreted by an erratic, pessimistic, hopeless
Englishman. The horizon of life lay very near his monacle, which by the
way was worn only on one eye. We felt that the same character was not
sustained all through the selection, though we grant that on the whole the
interpretation was very clever. We regretted the time so lavishly spent
on the minor groups of Mr. Cooke's program which could have been so well
utilized on the "Rimes of Real Religion" and the "Larger Nationalism." In
dealing with the former, Mr. Cooke expressed some of his choice
philosophy regarding "Real Religion," or in exact summary: "Every man's
religion is the best possible religion, providing it is his." "The Larger
Nationalism" was probably the most appreciated group. The individual poems
that struck the high notes of deep feeling, and true understanding were
"Each for All" and the "Un-common Commoner." Mr. Cooke left this message
with us: "Patriotism is like charity; it covers a multitude of sins and
should be a world-wide interest." n r

FOOTBALL On the morning of September 12, the following notice was read
and posted in the Normal: "First Football Turnout at 4:10." Coach Sam
Carver, after a summer tutorage under some of the best coaches in
California, was eager to have the football season open, and have his plans
of the year put in operation. With a spirit that is characteristic of
success, twenty-five men reported at 4:10 and received football equipment
for the year. From the opening of the season until the close, November 11,
the athletic field was plowed and tramped by the ambitious huskies of the
school. Through rain, snow, or sunshine they practiced determinedly and
diligently in their efforts of giving the Normal school a worthy
representative on the football field. The sound of the pigskin as they
were kicked or clutched to their breasts, in the first week's practice,
brought to many the happy realization that they were active and alive. A
few weeks of tackling and run-ning with the ball made all the players
respect the qualities of mother earth, but it also put them in the pink of
condition, and with another week's signal and scrimmage practice the
players eagerly awaited the opening of the season. The football squad of
1916 was characterized by the co-oper-ative, willing, happy spirit of all
the candidates for positions on the team. This spirit imbibed with
fighting and staying qualities and guided by stellar coaching made the B.
S. N. S. football team the greatest non-conference machine in the
Northwest. Seven games were played and the B. S. N. S. scored a total of
348 points to their opponents' 42. B. S. N. S. 80-FERNDALE 0 Ferndale
High School was the first team to feei the cutting edge of Coach Carver's
machine. The game was played on the Normal athletic field and witnessed
by a large crowd, who were eager to see the team in action. While the
offensive power of the team was all one could wish, it was weak in
breaking up forward passes, Ferndale completing six out of a dozen attempts
at the pass-ing game. The Normal line held like a stone wall and opened
wide gaps for the fast, hard-hitting backfield men, resulting in the
Normal scoring 80 points to Ferndale's 0. The Normal showed itself to be a
splendid, fighting, eleven-man team, evenly balanced from end to end. B.
S. N. S. 50-ANACORTES 0 Playing in Anacortes, after an eventful trip on a
small boat in rough weather, the B. S. N. S. team snowed under their
lighter opponents by a score of 50 to 0. The game was rather slow in IY

places, due in a large measure to the physical condition of the players
after the trip on the water. Nevertheless, the game was hard played with
the Normal showing marked improvement. B. S. N. S. 25- EVERETT 7 The game
with Everett was the game that every player made up his mind to win. The
good- natured slogan that urged the play-ers on, when tired and bruised,
throughout the early season's practice, was, "Beat Everett." At two-thirty
B. S. N. S. came on the field with a set determin-ation which could not be
denied. Eleven players with one thought were eager to clash with their
most formidable opponents. With the sound of the whistle the team swung
into action and in less than five minutes had crossed Everett's goal for a
touchdown. From whistle to whistle the contest was bitterly fought, brawn
and skill against brawn and skill. The Normal would not be denied,
however, and crossed Everett's goal four times, making a total of 25
points, including one goal kick. Everett's score came during the last two
minutes of play when the Normal weakened for a moment, resulting in its
goal being crossed. The score, made by B. S. N. S. against Everett is the
largest that any Bellingham team has made in the history of athletic
relations between the two cities. MOUNT VERNON ATHLETIC CLUB 21-B. S. N.
S. 7 The victory over Everett caused some of the players to ease up in
their efforts and fail to appear for scrimmage. There being only eleven
men reporting for practice, no practice could be had and in consequence,
when the team journeyed to Mount Vernon they fell a victim to over
confidence and the athletic club. Dur-ing the first few minutes of play
Mount Vernon completely be-wildered the Normal with a series of clever
plays, ably directed by Coach Jenne. Mount Vernon scored before the teams
were warmed up and thus got the jump on the Normal. The athletic club
proved to be a fighting aggregation and played great ball while the
Normal's playing was marked by spasmodic efforts and fumbling. During the
last few minutes Normal hit her pace and with machine-like preciseness
marched down the field for a touch-down. The Normal team used the forward
pass to good advant-age in the making of their only score. Coupled with
the discomfort of being defeated, when they were not in condition, came
the news that E. Davis would be out for the season with a dislocated
shoulder. B. S. N. S. 46--COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 0 Smarting with defeat

played in the Stadium against their old rivals, C. P. S. Every man
resolved to play his best and gave all he had, in his efforts to up-hold
the colors of his Alma Mater. Commenting upon the game, the Tacoma Ledger
says: "With every cog running smoothly, the well-built and well-operated
football machine of the State Normal School of Belling-ham scored a 46 to
0 victory in the Stadium over the College of Puget Sound. The superiority
of the team play exhibited by the pedagogs entitled them to the victory by
the margin indicated. The Bellingham players developed interference that
would have been baffling to much more experienced players. Gaffney ran the
team with a smoothness and precision that would give battle to almost any
Northwestern combination." B. S. N. S. 6-ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0 Playing on
the Normal grounds in a sea of mud, Coach Car-ver's combination proved
themselves masters of the best Anacortes had to offer. Anacortes fought
hard and played to the best of its ability but were no match for the
Normal crushing machine. Pounding Anacortes' line hard, the Normal put
over a touchdown a few minutes after the game started. From then on it was
a battle for the survival of the fittest and the Normal proved to be the
stronger in the arts of surviving, sliding, falling and in the ability of
hanging on to the elusive, water-soaked pigskin. The game was featured by
brilliant open-field runs, terrific line smashes, and an ever-advancing
Normal line. B. S. N. S. 78-COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 14 To some members of
the team this was the last game of foot-ball; to other members it was the
last of the seasonl916, so all en-deavored to have the score carved out in
numerals to their liking. Most of the players were satisfied with the
score of 78 to 14, as they know that the numerals are difficult to carve.
The Normal team played straight football and pounded over twelve
touchdowns. The visiting team made their touchdowns by completing a
forward pass and then gaining by intercepting a Normal forward pass. The
ground was as hard as cement and partly covered with ice, which made time
out for injuries frequent. The game was well played and the team left the
field in a cloud of glory, to leave their suits to be filled by those to
come in the future. Certainly the Normal is proud of its 1916 football
team, whose efforts have resulted in the most successful football season
in the history of the school. R--,CtJ r50L r_

BASKETBALL Non-Conference Champs of Washington and British Columbia is
the title annexed by the undefeated State Normal basketball squad during
the season of 1916-1917. Games were played with some of the best teams in
this part of the Northwest. Whatcom High, interscholastic champions of the
state, considered the Normal team as out of and above her class, so no
game was played between these two rivals. Games were also scheduled with
the University of Washington and Whitman College, but failed to
materialize be-cause the bigger schools at the last moment changed their
plans and refused to clash with the husky blue and white squad. We were
naturally disappointed, as our aspirations were high, but devoting and
directing our energy and skill to the downfall of other teams, we
succeeded in winning nine straight games. The squad was made up of seven
husky, fighting, never-stop-ping basket- caging artists, each one a star
at his position. These seven, chosen from a field of thirty, were moulded
into a well-nigh perfect machine, by the excellent coaching of Coach
Carver, and proved its worth by failing to crack, no matter how strong
the opposition brought against it. The teamwork of the squad was somewhat
hampered by the smallness of our gym, but when put on a strange, large
floor, as in Vancouver, the teamwork was unrestrained and the fans
wit-nessed an ideal basketball game, clean, fast, furious and exciting.
The team played in great form when away from home and stamped its brand of
quality as invaders by defeating Everett 47 to 29 and the Prosser
Athletic Club, the pride of Eastern Wash-ington, by a score of 45 to 18.

ball meets bat the baseball diamond is turned into a movie; nine nervous,
active, restless men move in a general direction with the idea of getting
the ball and prevent-ing runs, while the batter dashes madly to first
base. This mov-ing picture was seen when the B. S. N. S. baseball team
crossed bats with some of the best amateur ball teams in the Northwest
this spring. Early in March, with the appearance of a warm spring sun,
came the annual call for baseball material. Twenty likely candi-dates
responded to the first turn-out for practice on the Sehome grounds. With
two weeks' practice came the weeding process, which resulted in fourteen
well-qualified ball tossers receiving suits. The team was made up of
former high school stars and promised to develop into a speedy aggregation
under the capable leadership of Captain Wright. Shobert of Ridgefield had
every-thing his own way as far as the backstop man and held down in fine
form the swift and difficult balls of Pitchers Stevens, Dish-man, and
Breuer. The infield, made up of "Ora" Sitton at first, "Rube" Wagner at
second, "Bud" Rairdon at third, and Captain Wright at short, proved fast
and sure. They fielded like leaguers. In the outer garden Jess White,
"Hal" Wold and "Kid" Karlson seemed to have steady berths, while Washke
and Lee acted as subs. On account of the war, games were difficult to
arrange, but the following games appear on the season's list: Two games
with Blaine, two with Whatcom High, one with Bremerton, and one with
Burlington. B S N S 4-RBL.AINE 3 Bunching hits and h Normal team to
change a to\rCy~ -over the fast, hard-it ting at the critical moments

Although the field -Y

----------

----------
was heavy and slow, the game was well played and replete with sensational
fielding. Air-tight ball was played for seven innings, when Wright broke
into the run-getting column by hitting a single and later scoring on an
overthrow to third. Blaine came back in the eighth and scored another,
giving them a total of three. With the score standing 3 to 1 against them,
the Normal players came to bat determined to do their best. Wold was hit
with a pitched ball and Sitton hit safe to right field, scoring Wold and
reaching third. Sitton scored the needed run, on an infield play, which
tied the score. Blaine failed to score in the tenth inning. In the last
of the tenth Shobert was hit with a pitched ball and scored the winning
run when White smashed out a two-base hit into left field. The features of
the game were the errorless fielding of the Normal outfield and the
pitching of Bruns, the visiting slabman, who whiffed eleven men and
allowed only three hits. Stevens and Dishman twirled effectively for the
Normal. TRACK Despite the military recruits and unfavorable weather
condi-tions, the B. S. N. S. track squad practiced faithfully and
diligently this year. Beginning cross-country runs early in March the
squad soon got into condition and by May were a worthy representative of
the school in field and track events. Track meets were arranged with
Whatcom High and Mount Vernon High during the early part of May. Those who
upheld the honor of the school in this branch of athletics were the

GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls' athletics have been unusually successful at Normal
this year. A greater variety of athletics has been offered than ever
before, i. e., hockey, basketball, swimming, baseball and ten-nis. To Miss
Nickerson, and her assistant, Miss Skalley, who have worked untiringly for
us throughout the year, is due most of the credit for the fine
sportsmanship and showing made by the girls. To every girl in the school
this year has come an oppor-tunity to partake in some form of athletics.
Those who have not availed themselves of this opportunity have missed an
immeasur-able amount of fun and good fellowship. HOCKEY On October 7, a
meeting for all senior girls interested in hockey was called. The girls
responded so well that regular practice periods were organized under the
supervision of Miss Nickerson. On pleasant days the hockey field was a
scene of ex-citement from early till late. The girls were a little
disappointed, however, in not being able to play class games, owing to the
fact that the rainy season set in earlier than usual last fail.
BASKETBALL Basketball has this year, as always before, been the main event
for the girls. Here the teams representing the various classes are given a
chance to clash for the class honors. A series of games is arranged in
which each team gets an opportunity to meet an opposing team three times
during the year. The team winning the most games has its name and the date
engraved on the Kline cup. This is considered a tremendous honor and is
the cause of much speculation as to the winning team. On November 1, the
girls organized and decided to play modi-fied boys' rules. The girls began
practicing with a vim and from the first until the last game the gym was a
scene of lively ac-tivity. A captain and manager were chosen to represent
each team: Bernadine Hilliard, captain; and Genie Watrous, manager of the
Senior team; Lydia Nichols, captain, and Elizabeth Arnold man-ager of the
Junior team; Ethel McKinnon, captain, and Vida Deigh, manager of the
Elementary team. The following schedule was arranged: January 31-Senior
27; Elementary 3. February 2-Senior 17; Junior 13. February 7-Junior 45;
Elementary 7. February 16-Senior 12; Junior 13. February 28-Senior 15;
Junior 17. Cl I -1

Sitting-Gassler, Jacobson. Although all teams played well and showed
splendid training, it was evident early in the season that the contest
would be be-tween the Juniors and Seniors. The first game between the
Juniors and Seniors ended in a score of 17 to 13 in favor of the Seniors.
The Seniors were more experienced and showed better team work. Instead of
being discouraged, the Juniors began diligent prac-tice and brought up
their team work until they were able to de-feat their Senior rivals by a
score of 13 to 12 in the second game. With the score close in each game
and each class with one victory to its credit the excitement grew intense.
As the crowd began to gather the Juniors were placed on one side of the
gym and the Seniors on the other. The whistle blew at 7:30 o'clock the
night of February 28, and the game was on that was to decide the fate of
the Kline cup. Both teams were equally matched in ability. For what the
Seniors lacked in size they made up in quickness. Every girl on the teams
played a fast, cool, and above all, clean game. The game ended in a score
of 17- 15 in favor of the Juniors. It was indeed a pleasure to see the
excellent manner in which the Senior girls took their defeat. It might be
only fair to mention that the Seniors had a total of more points in the
three games than the Juniors. These teams are without a doubt the closest
matched that have ever played for the Kline cup. Im- !~l - ._..3

mediately after the game a spread was given to the basketball girls. Here
many good snapshots were taken of the girls as they eagerly devoured the
cake, candy and other dainties, which had not been allowed to them during
the training period. It is the Senior basketball girls who will put their
shoulders to the wheel in time of need. Was it not the basketball girls
who got up and caught the 6:45 car to the south side April 14, walked
all the way to Chuckanut, and marked both trails up the mountain for the
Marathon? Why did they pick on the basketball girls, you say? Because they
could be depended upon. As a finale for the basketball season the girls
gave a party to the Junior girls at the home of Lydia Nichols, captain of
the Junior team. LETTER GIRLS Seniors-Bernadine Hilliard, Jennie Kelley,

Camilla Witte, Genie Watrous, Lucile Herrett. .Juniors-Elizabeth Eghert,

Morgenthaler, Eva Tyler. BASEBALL As soon as bas-ketball was over
in-door baseball was begun. More than one Senior has beeni heard to
boast tha, the Seniors can de-feat the Juniors ini this. Of course time
will settle the ques-tion but we all sin-cerely hope these t wo classes
will again be given the opportunity to match their strength. TENNIS
Owing to the late-ness of the season tennis was slow in starting. 'Tis
sel-dom, however, in April and May that the courts were va-cant. No
matter how busy students were they were able to find a few min-utes for
tennis. Some exciting con-tests took place. KLINE CUP ELIZABETH JONES.

Thespian Dramatic Club The Thespian Club has always stood for achievement
and this year it has more than proved a worthy claim-and for that honor.
One excellent sample of what the Thespians are doing and can do was the
play, "The House Next Door," further mention of which is made elsewhere in
this book. The programs of the year have given evidence of originality on
the part of the program com-mittee and diligent preparation by the
participants. The follow-ing are some of the particularly enjoyable
programs, though to do justice to the excellence of them all the entire
numbers should be mentioned. The variety and quality of the impromptu
responses given on initiation evening were prophetic of the good work the
members were capable of doing. The "An Evening with Riley," consisting of
readings of the noted poet's various works, a paper on the life of Riley
and vocal and piano numbers proved a varied and en-joyable program. "The
Bluebird," dramatized by club members and preceded by a study of its
author's life, resulted in a keener appreciation of the beauty of
Maeterlinck's style. Elaborate plans for the mid-year banquet at the
Leopold cul-minated in a most delightful evening of good fellowship and
the even more elaborate plans being made for the banquet the latter part
of May give promise of a truly Thespian atmosphere when present and past
members will "gather round the festive board" and forget dull care. The
banquets of the year are not the only Ua t I- Ir Ir 0

truly social dates in the Thespian calendar, for many of the jolly times
spent in the cafeteria after the meetings have provided ample proof that a
most efficient refreshment committee presided over "the department of the
interior." The truly patriotic program commemorating the anniversaries of
Washington's and Lincoln's birth, consisting of the reading of "I Knew
Lincoln," colonial tableaux, humorous and dramatic readings, etc., was
another "red letter" evening of the year. Several clever sketches have
been given at different evenings during the year, but one evening
particularly memorable in that line was the "Evening with Dickens," when
three exceedingly worthy sketches taken from works of Dickens were given.
Ap-propriate stage setting, costumes of the time and a very old Eng-lish
atmosphere prevailed. One evening the mysteries of the "movies," trick
pictures, the history of the movies, impersonation of "movie" stars, and a
three-reel drama itself further enlightened the members as to the
im-portance of the new art. Old members are always more than welcome at
programs, but they are thrice welcome when they provide such an excellent
evening of entertainment as that provided by Thespian Alumni on the
evening of April 5th. So, as we glance back over the year, we cannot but
feel a thrill of pride in our club and its accomplishments and we are led
to extend a vote of thanks to our faculty advisor, Mr. Hoppe, who has so
ably guided the club to success, a vote of appreciation also to our
faculty members, Miss Edens, Miss Skalley and Mr. Hughes, and three
rousing cheers for Thespians, past, present aand future! t32

Philo Recollections for "1917" A stormy night, a cozy fireplace, and
father and mother-it was all that was necessary for a fleeting trip into
the past. Father started it as he sat staring at the crackling logs and
listen-ing to the wind howling around the corner of the house. "Mother,"
he said, taking off his spectacles, "you haven't for-gotten that this is
the week of the Philo Birthday Party?" If mother had not heard this
question every November for years past, she might have evinced some
surprise. Instead, she continued darning stockings and remarked, "Why, no,
I was just thinking of it myself." Father leaned forward a little in his
chair and gazed deeper into the flames. A little smile curled the corners
of his mouth as he said, "My, how I like to think back to that good old
year of nineteen seventeen. Don't you remember that first get-together
picnic the Philos had at Whatcom Falls. How queer and lonesome we felt at
first and then how we got mixed up in spite of ourselves and had the time
of our lives." "Wasn't that the night Grace Foster brought fried chicken?"
ventured mother. "Yes, it must have been, for don't you remember how fast
it disappeared and we found that Gerald Van Horn was storing it away
under the table, probably to devour later? It seems to me something queer
happened on the car going home, but I can't just place it." Mother
asserted herself again. "It was Mr. Troth. He per- 68
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 69
----------
formed marvelous gymnastics over some of those poor car seats." "Why, yes,
yes," smiled father. "That young rascal was al-ways up to something.' "I
know one thing that still makes my heart beat faster." Mother so far forgot
herself as to lay down her darning. "It was at the Philo initiation, when
we girls found ourselves clinging frantically and unavoidably to the neck
of gallant John Estes. Oh, it was awful, especially for the short ones."
"That wasn't anything," pooh poohed father, "we boys actu-ally experienced
the sensation of a drowning man. I was begin-ning to meditate blissfully
on the future life when they pulled my head out of that tub of cold
water." Mother's eyes twinkled suspiciously. "It must have been ter-rible,
but I'll have to admit it did my heart good to see Mr. Potter's composure
ruffled. His hair took to the water so nicely." Father meditated some time
before answering. "Well, we surely did have same good eats in spite of the
torture, but say, mother, you missed one of the dandiest times. Wasn't it
during the Christmas holidays that Miss Jensen entertained the club so
beau-tifully?" "Yes," came ruefully from mother, "but there was only one
girl there. She had so much attention paid her that night she hasn't
recovered since. I didn't miss the Valentine party anyway," she added.
"Wasn't that the most fun? I believe I have my Valen-tine yet." Sa .....

Mother, stated Dad in a solemn tone, "something about that party has
always worried me. Do you recall that yarn Miss Al-mond told about her
funniest proposal? I never could decide whether or not that was supposed
to be true." "Well," admitted mother, "I don't know about that, but I
al-ways felt that Mr. Johnson didn't especially enjoy that part of the
program. "Do you know," she added, changing the subject, "I heard some one
sing 'Mighty Lak a Rose,' the other day and I couldn't help remembering
how we used to enjoy hearing Miss Meyers sing that. She always put in so
much expression, I thought." "I believe the best times of all were those
jolly picnics we had along in the spring. They were great." Father
enthusiastically sat erect. "Yes, and above everything, don't forget the
week end. That was best of all," championed mother. The wind outside
reminded father of the cold and he ener-getically poked the logs till they
crackled and sputtered. As he settled back in his chair, the firm lines of
his face, which time and experience had placed there, chased away the
smiles of recollec-ltion. "But seriously, mother, I have always felt that
the training I got in the Philo programs and business meetings has been
one of the big things in my life. It has helped me over so many rough
places." "I know," whispered mother, laying her hand softly over his, "I
have been proud of you more than once just because you knew exactly what
to do and say at the right time." Father changed the subject abruptly. "We
had some mighty distinguished people in our club that year. Let me see:
There were Smith Carleton, president of the Student Association for the
next year; Miss Welch, Editor of the Klipsun; Miss Mottman, li-brarian,
and-" Mother filled in as he stopped for breath, "Mr. Baughman, manager
of the book store; Mr. Troth, treasurer of the Senior class; Mr. Bean,
president of the Junior class, and oh, dozens of others," she finished.
"In fact," stated father stoutly, "I have never met a more loyal, more
dependable bunch of folks. They all lived up to the motto, 'Once a Philo,
always a Philo,' and of course," he added shyly, "I mustn't forget when I
met you." Mother's eyes grew a little misty. Then, with a sunny smile,
"You won't forget to mail that check tomorrow for the Philo Birthday
Present." By BERNICE WINEMILLER. UI

Studio Art Club The first few weeks of the school year were indeed busy
ones, but we could not remain long on Sehome Hill without being im-pressed
with the beauty of the surroundings, the ever changing vistas of the
snow-crowned monarchs of the North, the clear, in-tense blue of the bay,
and the marvelously brilliant sunsets. In-spired by the graudeur, is it
any wonder that those interested in portraying nature found themselves,
early in October, planning the organization of a club in which they could
gratify this desire? This they proceeded to do and as a result, in the
atelier meet-ings on Saturday mornings, have taken the practical work of
char-coal and pencil rendering, water color technique, still life,
sketch-ing from the model in pose, and outdoor sketching. So enthusi-astic
did the workers often become that they had to be literally driven home to
lunch. But as if this was not enough for the gay daubers, they devoted one
night each month to art appreciation, not forgetting the gentle art of
driving dull care away. Who will forget our Christmas jollification, with
its clever surprises? Or the merry little valentine party; not to mention
the grand old sketch-ing expeditions, where Miss Bisazza roasted our
masterpieces, while we roasted weinies? At our banquet, the talent of the
club was displayed in ways other than through the medium of the brush.
Through the combined interest and efforts of our members and advisors, the
Studio Club work has progressed with much suc-cess and real pleasure. Much
of our inspiration and club spirit has been a result of Miss Bisazza's
enthusiasm and conscientious ef- YOr

forts to instruct and advise us in all our undertakings. Miss Druse has
also encouraged and guided us. Our officers have performed their duties
loyally and are worthy of much praise and admiration. We only hope that
next year the Studio Club will continue to live, be active, and exert
even a wider influence than we have this year. To this end, we leave them
the following: RECIPE FOR A MASTERPIECE Take all available inspiration
and mix thoroughly with en-thusiasm the size of a bean, six ounces of
energy and a cup and a half of intrepidation. To three steps of
hesitation, (Preparation, Presentation, and Summary), add gradually by
drops, a drop and a half of perspiration. Add sixty seconds of meditation
and mix thoroughly with two hours of concentrated effort. Add a dash of
pep (this is essential!). Place over club spirit and stir constantly with
a mahl stick, until it reaches the boiling point of exasperation. Remove
quickly, stir in a brushful of originality and flavor with essence of
personality to taste. Turn out in paint pan moulds and place in the cooler
(Room 306) from ten to twelve on Saturday morning. Garnish with futurist
colors cut in cubist shapes. Stand back with contemplation and view with
anticipation the realization of your "creation." This delectable
production is guaranteed to tickle the palate of any connisseur. (The
above proportions will serve generously, thirty insatiable club members).

cum Beach. Marshmallows and weinies were toasted around a huge bonfire and
a general good time enjoyed. In October a Hallowe'en party was given in
the Y. W. C. A. and Expression rooms under the leadership of Una Robinson.
The evening was spent enjoying Hallowe'en games. Great excitement arose
when "parts of the human body" were passed, and when the Gypsy foretold
our future! How we were thrilled with the "Nursery Rhymes in Shadow
Pictures!" We shall never forget the grand march to the cafeteria, where
refreshments were served. Our next social event was the mixer of the
Seattle and Ta- coma Clubs. This mixer was a huge success. First there was
a program by both clubs in the Philo room, followed by a rush to the
basement where everybody had to "shoot the chutes" to the large gymnasium.
The gymnasium echoed with loud cheers and hilarity as Seattle won a
victory over the Tacoma people in a lively, rousing indoor baseball game.
After the game followed the Vir-ginia reel and folk dances. Before leaving
ice cream and wafers were served to us at the refreshment booth in a
miniature forest. Our first social event of the second semester was a
Valentine party. The rooms were decorated with red hearts and cupids. New
and appropriate games were enjoyed during the evening. In April another
beach party at Squalicum Beach was a splen-did success. The year has been
full of work and pleasure, and since many of the club members are Seniors,
they wish the Seattle Club suc-cess in its future years and hope they may
be as full of fun and gaiety to its new members as the past year has been
to them. HILDA ROSEN.

Although the Ohiyesa Literary Society is one of the younger societies of
the school, having sprung into existence last Septem-ber, it can by no
means be classed among the lesser organizations. Each charter member has
worked faithfully to aid the society in becoming a "winner," as the
Indian name Ohiyesa signifies. When vacancies have occurred during the
year, new members have been voted in, who proved equally zealous to build
up this society as a lasting organization of the Bellingham Normal. Miss
Gray and Dr. Kirkpatrick, sponsors of Ohiyesa, have made possible through
their good counsel and interest, much of the rapid growth and success of
the year. Our program committee, with Mina Merrick as standing chairman,
has proved most efficient in the arrangement of suit-able and interesting
programs or entertainments for each regular meeting, and for several
special occasions. Two initiations, followed by a program and
refreshments, were held in the early part of each semester. In February,
the society enjoyed a unique Valentine party, and in March "Saint
Patrick" was remembered in word, song, and jest. A very effec-tive
patriotic program was rendered at one of the meetings. The most impromptu
affair of the year was the sleigh ride enjoyed by Ohiyesa and several
invited guests, during the heavy snow. The form of entertainment on the
way to Ferndale was predominately musical. On arriving at the destination,
gustatory entertainment replaced the singing and when at the end of a very
pleasant evening, the lights of Bellingham again appeared in the
distance, we all wished that sleigh rides came more than once a year. On
Thursday evening, March twenty-second, our president, Mrs. King,
entertained the members of Ohiyesa with a house- E3 YO
----------

----------
warming party in her new home. Every one present reported an exceptionally
pleasant time. During a brief business meeting, it was decided to plant a
bed of rhododendrons on the campus, in the name of the society. Members
of Ohiyesa working together have attempted to lay a foundation which will
uphold the future growth of the so-ciety. They have gained much in the
carrying on of the activities, in the planning of ideas to be consummated
in future years and in the friendships formed. Those members who go out of
school this spring leave with a wish for the success of Ohiyesa, and may
its standard always proclaim it in all its enterprises, "the winner." 0 1

Social Democratic Club While the B. S. N. S. as a whole has been boasting
of.its size this year, the Social Democratic Club has, in a quiet way,
broken its previous membership and attendance records. The membership roll
for 1916-17 contains thirty-three names and nearly every meeting night has
found Mrs. Termaat's eighth grade room well occupied. Visitors have been
more than numer-ous and appreciative, as well as appreciated. While no
regular subjects of study were mapped out this season, current topics of a
political and economic nature have furnished the club with material for
long talks, short talks, de-bates, discussions and-perhaps an occasional
plain "argument." "Open Forum" has proved the most interesting and
spirited section of the club work and has often kept the society in
session long after bed-time. Some outsiders, who have made effective
talks, are Judge Pemberton of Bellingham, Misses Smith and Taube, of the
local Y. W. C. A., Mr. Hazzard, of Seattle, and Marius Hansome, ex-'14,
who is famed as instrumental in the organization of the club here at
Normal. Among questions formally debated were: Resolved, That
Preparedness Does Not Tend to Peace; and Resolved, That an Embargo Should
he Placed Upon Shipmeni of Food to Belliger-ents. The skeptical and
ignorant were inclined to believe "Social- Dems" incapable of
merry-making, but this season they have been well convinced. Four
rollicking good times are the proof. The first was an "election" party
"out on 21st street;" the second, a Christmas jollification, with tree and
trimmings, at the home of Mrs. Termaat and Miss Drake; next came the
Valentine party, where Starr Sutherland won a submarine race, and then the
in-formal luncheon honoring Mr. Hansome. The 1916-17 Social-Dems are
particularly proud of their fac-uly members, Mrs. Termaat, Miss Drake, Dr.
Herre and Mr. Bever. Each one has given loyal support to the programs and
parties and has proved himself (or herself) as good a playmate as the
young-est student. A hearty health to our faculty friends,
Social-Demo-crats! Grace Burris Ada Gardner Rose Davis Star Sutherland

us. Our vitality fairly froze in our veins, we groped about in utter
darkness, but suddenly we beheld a brilliant light, and there before us we
saw a sight that warmed the cockles of our frozen hearts. A delicious
Hallowe'en spread of pumpkin pies, cider, apples, and candy witches blazed
before us. Our Valentine party was a huge success. Many were the tender
verses composed on that evening, gently the soft murmur of the Valentine
spirit spread through the playroom. On this night our hearts were in
perfect tune. The literary side of our organization has been emphasized
the past year. We have been fortunate in having for our sponsor Mr. Glenn
Hughes who is an author and play producer of marked ability. Under his
guidance we have studied mo(lern literature and modern writers. At one of
our meetings Mr. Hughes gave an interesting lecture on Russian Literature,
and read some delightful sketches from the renowned Russian author,
Turgenieff. We were delighted to have Miss Edens give us her point of
view concerning Walt Whitman, James Oppenheim, Louis Unter-meyer, and
Alfred Noyes. She read selections from these poets giving a pleasing
interpretation of the writings of each. This age is fairly tingling with
wonderful poetry, it is brim-ming with life, it is pregnant with
wonderfully fresh and new philosophy. We, the Aletheians, are moved by
this strong current, and we are trying to conceive this world, and all its
bigness, in a new and modern way. Spark Plug Club The students from
Everett organized a social club, the first of February, and the name
"Spark Plug," the prize slogan ol Ev-erett, was unanimously chosen by the
thirty-five menmbers. The colors, blue and gold, were adopted. The
officers chosen were: LUCILE HERRETT - - - - - - - - President MARION

giving a party, and going on a hike. RUBY BOBLETTE. Ito r

Tacoma Club How strong are the ties that bind those from our "home town!"
Our greetings to them are just a bit different! This feeling took a
tangible shape in the early part of the school year when the Tacoma people
at the Normal took up the work of the Tacoma Club of last year. The
following officers were chosen as pilots during the first semester: HELEN
B. EAGEN - . . . . . President ALICE DAILEY - - - - - - - Vice-President
Avis WHISNER ---- Secretary-Treasurer FLORENCE DODGE - - Chairman Program
Committee MISSES LEE, DAVIS, MORSE - - - - - Sponsors The club was
organized purely for social purposes, and the parties were to be places of
refuge where one could be merely "human." To accomplish this, all mental
work was barred and at the first meeting the club enjoyed an old-fashioned
peanut-stabbing apple-paring contest. Probably the most interesting event
took place when the Ta-coma Club joined the Seattle Club in a party given
between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The rivalry between the two
or-ganizations added spice to the evening and also a feeling of good-will.
At the close of the first semester the following officers were chosen to
serve for the rest of the year: MARY DONALD ----- -- President HERBERT

Te Sourdough Club We talked of yesteryears, of trails and treasure, Of
men who played the game and lost or won; Of mad stampedes, of toil beyond
all measure, Of campfire comfort when the day was done." -SEIRVICE. The
Sourdough Club originated during the summer school of 1915 when, drawn by
that mysterious influence which attracts all dwellers of the Northwest to
their kind, the students from Alaska banded themselves together in a club
to which they gave the name applied to all who have seen the ice come and
go, in the Land of the Midnight Sun. All who are eligible to the title
"Sourdough" are welcome to membership. At the beginning of the school
year of 1916-17 the club was re-organized with the following officers: Mr.
Wm. F. Parrish, Faculty Sponsor; Sara Lopp, President; Ruby Johnson,
Treasurer. So well did these officials fulfill their duties that they were
re-elected by acclamation for the second semester. Early in the year MIr.
Parrish, with true Alaskan hospitality- Sourdoughs are famous
cooks-entertained the club at his home. As an introduction and initiation,
all members were required to tell the time, the place and the circumstances
of their experience in the North. Later, a typical sourdough "feed" was
given in the Y. W. C. A. room. Reminiscences and canned cow proved almost
too much for several present. In the spring when the weather had reached
Alaska stand-ards- there one can travel dry shod at least-the club, in
mush-ing togs, stampeded to Miss Hayes' cabin on the lake. The tip was
passed to several outsiders-"Chechakos"-Miss Hayes, Miss Woodard, Miss
McCarthy and Mr. Olson, who joined the rush. No big strike was made, for
prospecting was forgotten at sight of the grubstake. Aside from the
social activities, the club, in order to meet the growing interest in, and
to create an appreciation of the vast country it represents, arranged for
a stereopticon lecture to be given in the auditorium for the benefit of
the faculty and student body. Through the efforts of Miss Lopp, the
services of Mr. An-drews, editor of the Alaska-Yukon Magazine, was
secured. The pictures were so realistic that several fair members wept
copious-ly during the performance. T~o n U L L 0 YO

further this friendship-forming opportunity, and to keep alive the college
spirit of good fellowship. The activities of the club are purely social

MIEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE CLUB There have been several enjoyable social
affairs during the year. On the evening of November 9, the club gave a
"College Jinks" in the Big Gym"-and "jinks" it was! The password was a
grin, big and broad. One of the fun-affording games of the evening was a
contest to determine whether there were any expert milliners present. Each
person was given a large circle of crepe paper, in the club colors,
together with a small paper of pins. He was then instructed to make a hat
in ten minutes, at expiration of which the grand march was called. Such
originality was displayed that the judges found it very difficult in
deciding to which couple the prize should be awarded. The last number on
the gym program was the supper march, when the partners were found by an
unique device, which resulted in huge merriment later in the evening.
Passing from the "big gym" to Miss McCown's sewing room, the College Club
and its invited guests gathered around a prettily decorated mock banquet
table. Instead of the usual banquet fare, the menu consisted of coffee,
doughnuts, and apples. A series of amusing talks was given by faculty
guests and members under the subject of "An Experience of My College
Days." Dr. Nash "took the cake" with his "pie story." The evening closed
in true college fashion, with songs and yells by the groups representing
different colleges. The next function was the annual "College Club
Banquet," held at the Leopold hotel, February twenty-third. The club
mnem-
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 90
----------
bers gathered in the reception room, and at 7:30 p. m. marched to the
dining hall. Club colors were in evidence everywhere. Unique features of
the banquet were the place and menu cards, the latter being booklets
shaped like a tennis racquet. The toasts of the evening were extremely
interesting, reflecting college spirit and life, both in title and
substance. Before this article goes to press, two other events in the life
of the club during this school year will have taken place. Two live
committees worked for some time on a program for the first affair, a
"hike," on April 20, in order that the "King of Mirth" might hold court.
Those who have climbed Chuckanut, or taken some of the other good "hiking
trips" about the bay- and what live B. S. N. S. student has not-need no
further explanation. The second affair of the last part of the term,
taking place May 11, will be a water trip to Reveille Islands, follewed by
a beach party-"and the meal-the clams-covered over with sea sand divine."
(See Browning). And so our club remains-an oasis in the desert of
learning-a cozy corner where "Greek meets Greek," and renews the old time
college spirit. "Then here's a hand, my trusty friend, And give a hand of
thine, WVe'll give one good old college yell, For your college days, and
mine." COLLEGE CLUB BANQUET

cAlkisiah Club In the spring of nineteen hundred six, the first society in
this school that is still in existence, was formed under the helpful
leadership of Miss Baker. To carry out the altruistic ideas of the club,
it was called Alkisiah, the significance of which in Chinook is, "In the
near future." True to its name, the club has always taken a vital interest
in the present and near future. It has helped in a great many ways to
prepare its members for their future work, especially in relation to
women's clubs, the cultural, and all that is joyful in life. This spring
the Alkisiahs were pleased greatly on receiving a hearty welcome into the
Washington State Federation of Wo-men's Clubs, an organization that has
accomplished wonders along all lines in which women are interested. In
order that the Alkisiahs may keep in touch with state work the club plans
on sending delegates to the State Federation meeting, June 20, at
Spokane, who will report to the club on their return. During the eleven
years of the society's existence, it has ac-accomplished a great many
things, among which the production of Percy McKay's "Bird Sanctuary," in
nineteen hundred fifteen was very important. It was most beautifully
staged on the cam-pus knoll, among the fir trees, the home of the birds.
Its presen-tation helped to carry out one of the club's ideals of making
the Normal campus a home or sanctuary for all birds. An interesting
custom each year has been to plant bulbs in the fall, selling them in full
bloom, just before the Christmas holidays. This work awakens an interest
in bulbs and flowers and is also
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 92
----------
suitable for all schools. On Arbor day, joining in the work of the other
clubs, the Alkisiahs planted a trailing white Wichuriana rose that will
creep down over the northern terrace. For seven years the society has had
an annual banquet, one of the most enjoyable events of the year, held on
the Friday near-est Valentine's day. The large dining room of the Leopold
Hotel was the banqueting hall for this year. When the club first met this
school year it was found that there were only about twelve members, who
had returned to school, so there were twenty-five invitations sent out,
which brought the total membership up to thirty-eight. South America was
chosen as the subject of study for the first semester and many exceedingly
interesting programs were given, including talks on Peru, Bolivia, Chile,
Brazil and Argentina The week before the Christmas vacation, the new
members proved themselves to be very helpful by assisting Miss Baker as
hostess to the club at her home. It was a true Christmas party with a tree
and a real Santa Claus and presents for every one, which caused much
hearty laughter. For the second semester, it was decided to take up as the
special subject a study of some of the operas, including Tann-hauser,
Faust, II Trovatore, Lucia de Lammermoor, Parsifal and Carmen. These
studies have been very interesting and valuable. During the eleven years
of the club's existence many intimate and lasting friendships have been
made, and as the years roll on, the deep spirit of fellowship among the
members and friends of the Alkisiah Club will remain in all hearts
forever. CHARICTERISTI ALKISIA14S J ~n

lighted to know that she was near enough to answer our many, eager calls.
Those of us who know Bellingham know Lake Whatcom; those of us who know
Lake Whatcom know Miss Hays' cabin. At least the H. L. S. girls do. Can
you remember those thrilling clear moonlight nights on our beautiful Lake
Whatcom? It was such a night, and in October. The moonbeams sparkled and
danced about on the broad Whatcom mirror. The evergreens cast weird
shadows in the water; the moon laughed through the trees and at us,-and at
our faculty friends-\Misses Baxter, Nick-erson, Meade, and Morse. We
wanted to become acq(uainted so we gathered around the tables which were
placed about the porch of the cabin and enjoyed our delicious spread, our
delightful "new" friends, and our beautiful, mystical Lake Whatcom. Our
initiation is a stirring event. We shall not mention all that we know
about it; we cannot speak of the nose races, aerial flights, and
blood-curdling scenes of terrible warfare and living torture. Let us bury
the past. We have had as many, and more, constructive events as we have
had destructive. Our old English Christmas program which was given on the
evening of December 21, our annual ban- quet, and our pleasant evenings
with George Bernard Shaw, we shall never forget. We have added another
link to the chain of years that encircle the friends and members of Hays
Literary So-ciety. A GLIMPSE OF SOME 01: OUR GOOD TIMES

In harmony with the growing demand that the rural teacher be something
more than a teaching machine, the Rural Life Club has developed the idea
of preparing its members for community lead-ers in the rural districts
in which they may teach. This funda-mental purpose of the society is
brought into play by practice in parliamentary law, extemporan-eous
speaking, debate, and num-erous gatherings. Outside speak-ers have
occasionally addressed the club upon topics of general interest to the
coming rural teachers. The organization of the club differs somewhat in
character from similar societies in the Nor-mal school in that it has one
hundred active members and is divided into three divisions for sectional
work. The first hour of the evening is spent in the sep-arate meetings of
the sections, each having a club sponsor for drill in parliamentary law
and debate. Each has a well organ-ized mock legislature. A chair-man and
secretary are elected for each meeting, none serving twice. The sectional
programs are plan-ned by a program committee, one member being selected
from each section. The officers for the general meetings are chosen each
quarter without the privilege of holding office more than once. The club
feels itself especially favored in having for its spons-ors, three
members of the faculty who are deeply interested in A FEW OF THE FARMERS
rural work-Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond, and Mr. Hulse. Election time was the
occasion of a political party program in U tJ r 0rD I|
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 97

which the various presidential candidates were cleverly imperson-ated by
several club members. Mr. Dan Johnston represented Mr. Hughes in a manner
which would have reflected credit upon the original himself. The other
political candidates were Mr. Daven-port, representing Woodrow Wilson, who
was perfect except for the hair; Mr. Parkins, representing the Prohibition
candidate, Han-ley; and Mr. Hawkins, representing the Socialist candidate.
A straw vote was taken, resulting in an overwhelming majority for Wilson
with 46 votes, Hughes 13, Benson 13, and Hanley 3. A regular old fashioned
Hallowe'en party, with witches and ghosts, was given late in October. A
splendid program and games took up the evening, not to overlook the "Rural
Life Special" or Virginia reel, which in its turn made the evening one
never to be forgotten. Mr. Bond, one of our sagacious sponsors, got
himself into no end of trouble when he recklessly and fearlessly drove his
new wheelbarrow to his home from the business center of town leaving a
wake of disaster in his trail. Deeming such behavior as unbe-coming to a
Rural Life Club sponsor, Mr. Bond was hailed before Judge Weslie Inman to
account for his strange actions. The de-fense was upheld in a most able
manner by Mr. Johnston and counsel, Mr. Andrews, while Mr. Elder and his
assisting attorney, Mr. Beery, conducted the prosecution in a fearless and
forceful manner. There was much heated discussion in the courtroom when
the evidence was all in as to the outcome of the case. The jury, after
considerable deliberation over the evidence, rendered a verdict of guilty
and Mr. Bond was brought before Judge Inman for sentence. The judge,
considering the past services of the de-fendant, was inclined to be
lenient and sentenced Mr. Bond to a period of hard labor at the
Bellingham Normal. Just before returning to our homes for the holidays
"The Birds' Christmas Carol" was given with a high degree of success,
which confirmed the report that at least some members of the Rural Life
Club missed their calling when they forsook the foot-lights for the
prosaic task of teaching school. Miss Mildred Her-mans as Mrs. Ruggles,
and Miss Winnie Jordan as Sarah Jane were stars of real quality. Mr.
Rindall, our school carpenter, gave a very pleasant even-ing's
entertainment early in the winter with an illustrated lecture on his old
home, Norway. The subjects of industrial education in rural schools and
"Boys' and Girls' Clubs," which go hand in hand in the rural com-munities
is of much interest to those who expect to become active leaders in rural
localities. Upon these topics a very profitable evening was spent with
Miss Ethel Everett, county superintendent, and Prof. R. C. Tibbles of
Ferndale, who discussed these subjects in a highly profitable and
interesting manner.

The first Rural Life Conference, planned and conducted by Miss Keeler and
Mr. Hulse was held at the school, March 12 and 13 and gave the club an
opportunity to meet Mr. Newbill, Mr. Thornber and other experts in the
line of rural community work and industrial education. It also gave us an
opportunity to make ourselves useful as well as ornamental (luring the
progress of the conference. The pleasant times that we have enjoyed
through the club's activities are occasions which will long be remembered.
The Rural Life Club is indeed fulfilling its mission through the energy
and life of its members and the sincere efforts of its officers and
fac-ulty sponsors to make the organization a success. e Normal High
School The B. S. N. High has this past year attained a degree of su-premacy
of which even we, in our wildest hopes, dared not dream. It has been
filled to overflowing with school activities. There has been the Student
Association meeting once a week and well at-tended; the debate team,
coached by Gerald Van Horn; the Boys' and Girls' basketball teams, most
creditable teams, both of them; and too, organizations of each class. The
Senior plays in April were a great success, thanks to the coaches, King
and Foster, and came as a crowning event, followed by the H. S. picnic in
May. This year our classes were divided for a social purpose. Every
Friday one division of each class was responsible for some form of
entertainment. Our class frolics were usually held in the large gymnasium.
Under the capable direction of Miss Nickerson, we enjoyed some rousing
good games, and many folk dances. All successful class stunts had a grand
finale. The finale was surely a spread which was generally served in the
lunch room of the Department of Home Economics. On one occasion the dining
room was transformed into a delightful forest. Fairy-like figures floated
in and out among the trees, and soft music filled the air about us.
Delicious refreshments were served to us here by six of the tiny fairies.
We came to the fairy garden and were re-freshed. The enrollment which
early in the year barely reached a hun-dred, now soars to a hundred and
sixty-two; and the first and last class of the Normal Accredited High
School graduates with seventeen in its ranks. LE24TYO

The High School is not to be continued another year. If we were very
unselfish we might feel very sorry, but we can't help feeling a bit glad
that, since we can't be here ourselves, no one else can be here either.
After all, that's only human nature. The High School has been very
fortunate in its faculty ad- visors. Of course there has been Mr. Parish
as principal; without him we cannot imagine our school the success it's
been; and then Mrs. Kuykendall, a jolly companion at banquets and good
times. Miss Norton has helped us out too. What would we have (lone
without her good, sound advice? Mr. Parish's English class can best
appreciate his influence and presence. There has been work, lots of it,
but always ready for a good joke and a right jolly laugh. So, when next
year and years after we are scattered through this "vale of tears (?)" we
shall remember him, remember his teachings of unselfishness, goodness and
truthfulness and in them find recompense for all the "outlines" we have
ever had to write in the English VII class. G. K., '17. II 0 El L--J

Young Men's Christian Association A most progressive and beneficial
organization among the men of the school is the Young Men's Christian
Association. It seeks the best physical development of the men, through
the many athletic activities; it seeks the establishment of Christian
conduct in the practical affairs of life, through addresses given by the
city's men of success, from time to time. A genuine mixer, to which all
men of the school were invited, given at the beginning of the year, proved
to be the cornerstone of the association's good work. The large gymnasium
was crowded, with men, formerly strangers but soon the closest brothers.
It was not unusual to see a man on the floor, shooting a basket with one
hand, and shaking hands with an opponent with the other. Next came the
joint social of the two organizations, engaged in the same work. With
the beginning of the second semester another mixer was held, in the large
gymnasium. Many new members were added. The games, the dinner, the
speeches, produced on that occasion will ever be a sunny memory to those
having the privilege to be present. As the last days of school were drawing
near, a beach party was held, which proved a thoroughly enjoyable affair.
The lecture course of the year, exceptionally brilliant and comprehensive,
was well arranged and well attended. The first lecture was given by Rev.
Askey, who spoke on the best means for a youth to spend his assets of
mind, body and soul. Dr. Morrison gave some excellent maxims on clear
thinking. Dan North, with judicial precision and expert knowledge, spoke
on "Fair Play and Athletics," which influenced all very greatly. Virgil
Peringer pre-sented in a convincing way some of the essentials of a
successful career. Mr. Olson defined "Religion," as something far from
big-otry and narrowness, but of infinite breadth and scope, capable of
marvelous results in the lives of men. At a joint session of the Y. M. C.
A. and Y. W. C. A., Dr. Hall showed how intensely practical, modern and
enjoyable missionary work is, when conducted with up-to-date methods. Some
of the most interesting and beneficial talks have been given by members of
the faculty: "The Life of Booker T. Washington," by Dr. Nash; "The Square
Deal," by Mr. Hoppe; "Deliver the Goods," by Mr. Hughes, aand the "Homely
Philosophy of Walt Mason," by Mr. Parish. From every standpoint the year's
work has been a success. It is only hoped that the association will
increase in strength that it may the better carry on its good work of
leading the young men into a richer, better life of service. lO

Young Women's Christian Association "Wait on the Lord" Even before the
opening of school in September, the Y. W. C. A. organization was showing
its ever present enthusiastic spirit. Trains were met, and girls were
conducted to their rooms where generous bouquets of flowers awaited them.
At school, willing helpers directed students to their classes. The work
of the association has been going splendidly all year. Our first
devotional meeting was held Sunday afternoon, September 10. Miss Hamblin,
of New York, gave us a very in-spiring message. A very delightful
reception was held soon after the opening of school in the society hall,
which was very artistically decorated with autumn foliage. During the
month of October we were fortunate in having with us such speakers as Dr.
French Oliver, the evangelist, with his co-workers, Mrs. Russell and Miss
MacLaren; also Miss Jane Neill Scott, of New York, Executive Secretary of
the Northwest Field Committee. During the week, November 12th to 18th, in
accord with a national plan, our association observed its "World's Week of
Fellowship." The first meeting was held on Sunday afternoon in joint
session with the City Association at the Y. W. C. A. build-ing, and our
Cabinet served Fellowship Tea after the meeting. Following a week of
prayerful devotion, the last meeting was one of unusual interest. Miss
Rose Baxter led the meeting and Miss Hayes, former Dean of Women, brought
to us a very interesting and profitable discourse on the "Warring
Nations," after which Mrs. Jane Bellis-Colby favored us with a solo. On
Saturday af-ternoon a Fellowship "Chocolate" was held in the association
room. The largest affair of the year is always the annual banquet and is
looked forward to with enthusiastic anticipation. This banquet marked the
close of the campaign for members and was in charge of the Membership
Committee, with the assistance of the Social Committee. It was held
November 18th at the Leo-pold Hotel and was attended by 176 members and
guests, among whom were several faculty members, the Advisory Committee,
Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, Mrs. Wood, Miss Mary Hillis and Miss a YOtl

responded in his earnest yet genial way when called upon for an impromptu

Rev. Reagor, of the local Christian church, spoke on the duties of
missionaries. Miss Eleanor P. Hopkins, General Student Secretary of the
Northwest Field Committee, was here for a week, which gave the girls a
chance for talks and conferences. Miss Hopkins spoke at the Thursday
meeting on "Prayer." Friday, January 29, the old and new members met in
the "Big Gym" for a "Get Acquainted Party." The afternoon was spent
informally and ended in a grand march which led to the cafeteria where
refreshments were served. We enjoyed having with us again this year for
our Bible In-stitute, Mrs George Saltau of Tacoma, and Mrs. Campbell, of
Se-attle. They brought us such inspiring and soul-satisfying mes-sages
that it was with regret we bade them goodbye and God-speed. One of the
very interesting messages of the year was brought to us from Mr. Host,
who for years has been one of the fore-most leaders in the China Inland
Mission. At one of our last meetings the Missionary Committee, with the
help of some of the other association girls, and some high school girls,
presented a play, "Tired of Missions." The play was preceded by a reading,
"The Master's Voice," by Mrs. Simpson, a member of the Advisory Committee.
We have a student Volunteer Band, which has been having very interesting
meetings. There are a dozen Mission Study and Bible Study Classes, with
a very good attendance, organized at the various rooming houses, the
Dormitory and the Y. W. C. A. Building. To the fac-ulty members who made
some of these classes possible we extend heartfelt thanks. Our cafeteria
has been successful in capably caring for about 180 students each day, and
during the Rural Conference the regu- O II a n C

lar customers gladly gave their places to the visiting teachers,
principals and superintendents. Every cabinet member and most of the
members of the as-sociation have felt that their time and money have been
well spent in the good things they have received. The Sunrise Easter
Meeting at Initial Rock on Sehome was well attended as usual and several
of the girls who have been here, part the full year and part for two
years, spoke. As the Klipsun goes to press we are looking forward to a
Social Frolic of some sort in conjunction with the Y. M. boys of the
Normal School. Also, with great joy, we are anticipating a trip to Cypress
Island while the rhododendrons are in bloom. Following are the Cabinet

they have, so prepare yourself to hear the thrilling tales they tell.
Laura Stubblefield is on the third floor, nicknamed "Our fu-ture Miss
Norton." Her specialty is Parliamentary drill. It is 0 ILIt0

Asn ~Bi-- Y. W. C. A. GIRLS whispered that after carefully reading
Roberts' Rules of Order, she started a new book of rules for the
convenience of all societies that wish to be conducted on a modern system.
Until recently, Mary Hayward lived with Miss Stubblefield. At the end of
the third quarter Mary left for Walla Walla, not to engage in modern
Pavlowa acts, but to take upon herself the seri-ous duties of teacher.
Just across the hall is Mary Chapin, a clever, capable lady, envied by the
entire house, not for her competency, but because she receives flowers and
candy and invitations from-but we all know. Elsie Gough (or Goo or Guff)
is noted for her interest in a certain Iky, and because she specializes in
cocoa baths, given by Sara Lopp. Only recently Miss Gough (or Goo or Guff)
has de-cided to wear a bathing suit at all spreads. Did you hear Glad
Hamely say, "Oh dear!" If you had been over at Lummi Island camping during
the spring vacation you would surely have heard that familiar phrase as
Glad Hamely and Glad White (second name Hershey) fried flapjacks for a
crowd who simply would not stop eating. "Oh dear!" was the same cry made,
when on the return trip the boat did somersaults on the grey sea. Marion
Scofield and Ruby Boblette are Everett girls, well liked by all. Also they
seem to know several Everett people, judging from certain observations
made while the Everett basketball teams were here. 110

Klipsun, 1917 - Page 111

And while we are speaking of Everett girls, do not forget Letha and Mabel
Painter. These studious, original girls have devised a new way of boiling
eggs, according to rumor. Has a patent been applied for? Pauline Shuler
is that girl who can say "Hagamos Confetos," and with the needed
assistance of her wife, Alberta Worthington, gives us such good things to
eat, in the sitting rOO1. Cornelia Hooper and Elizabeth Palmner are
comely maids good to look upon. They often say how grateful they are for
the sound-proof walls of the house, for just below them live Una Robinson
and Ruth Morrison. Una is a young woman with many talents, as you may
know, but her favorite avocation is sing-ing, accomipanied by Miss
Morrison. Truly, life is one long song with our future Melha and Tina
Lerner. You all know and admire Sara Lopp and her room-mate, Ruth
Pan-chot, or Pan-shot, as is preferredl by the faculty. Sara has
figured inim-ortantly in making a Welsh rarebit, referred to as a mustard
plaster. Ruth is known for her ability in opening cans of lobster, rescued
from the missionary barrel by one Miss White. Cassie Cales left our happy
home the sec-ond semester, due no doubt to the fact that the cruel house
girls locked Miss Morse and herself in Cassie's room one evening, and then
peeped in at them over the transom. Miss Cales was finally forced, much
to her regret, to call Miss Morse to her assistance, and with the aid of
a tin cup, cold water and consider-able skill in tossing, dampen the
spirits of the wretches in the hall. Oh, pardon, that was only the Junior
class secretary caroling with a Thatcher trained voice, "Reuben, Reuben,
I've been thinking," Oh, yes, often in the chilly night, after her many
social duties are o'er, you can hear her singing thus. Just a mere
diversion, yes. ii YOr

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now, for here comes our second
floor monitor, choral club singer, H. L. S. member and Klipsun
cartoonist. No, she was not always lame. She has the Charley Horse at
present. Then there is Helen Peterson, well known for her great liking
for cream pie. During the third quarter Helen was missed, but a competent
detective found her leaning against the door of Miss Drake's office.
Gertrude Smith, Marjory Weeks, Alice Drew, Frances Nagel and Lillian White
are new additions to our family. They like the Missouri Waltz and object
to fried eggs. Surely that is enough to recommend them for membership in
the sisterhood. G .W. il-Cz~hz ;-ii 1-=\ r-

volunteers was made by Mrs. Thatcher early in the autumn she found herself
besieged by enthusiastic songsters. Work began at once and a few weeks
proved suffi-cient to disclose an unusual number of fine voices. That the
club might enjoy these to the full, short bi-weekly programs were
in-stituted as a part of the regular meetings. Solo and duet numbers
vocal and piano, added to the interest and enjoyment. 1:2 El -

HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL CLUB One Wednesday afternoon in October, Mrs. Thatcher
invited the girls to "tea" in the music room and over the cups everybody
became acquainted. Even before this event Mrs. Thatcher had won the
admiration and affection of her group of feminity but such a jollification
absolutely clinched it. A number of Choral Club stars appeared at assembly
"singly or in groups" during the first semester, but March 9 marked the
date of the first appearance of the club as a whole. On the evening of
that date the annual concert-the club's gala event-was given. The numbers
composing the program this year were: Chorus-(a) "Estudia (b) "Come Y

Rural Life Confer-ence. To celebrate the year's success, the girls
scheduled a banquet at the Hotel Leopold in April. Has there been a "fly
in the ointment" for the 1916-17 club? None at all. Of course a sudden
mention of "Seville" may cause any one of the seventy-seven to shiver
slightly, but the club has been immensely pleased with its year together
and intensely proud of its director. ILIJ l0

FIRST PRIZE POEM 'e Journey- I walked at first through childhood's
meadowland, The sun shone bright and warm, the sky was blue; The breezes
lightly rippled o'er the grass To loose themselves where the white lilies
grew. Close by the brook the bending willows stood And bent their heads
to hear its melody; I listened, too, a moment-and ran on To where the
wild flowers smiled and beckoned me. I played with them; of some I made a
wreath And wore it for a crown-for I was queen Of all this fairyland, and
all was mine, The gay, green fields, the brook that flowed between. And
then I came into a forest dark, (It was the forest which is Youth) and
there Long shadows lie and temple stillness reigns Beneath the columned
vistas everywhere. 'Twas in that mystic wood I first met Life And learned
its meaning and its deep command. It sank into my soul-I know not how, I
could but feel-I could not understand; And suddenly I heard a strange,
sweet song Sung by some unseen bird high overhead. Love sang its pain and
joy into my heart, And peace from thence for evermore had fled. I found
myself at last on a great plain, 'Where fields of ripened grain stretched
far and wide ('Twas in the kingdom of Prosaic Life Wlhere men and women
toil on every side) And someone gave to me a gleaming scythe And said,
"Go thou to work and thou shalt find A place among us;" ..1 took up my
task, And still endure the never-ceasing grind. But often when the weary
day is done And in the west the sun is sinking low, Before me looms a
ridge of lofty hills Illumined by the sunset's purple glow; And I shall
reach the summit of those hills Some day and see the future's wonderland,
And, looking downward from that height, shall see Life's valley lie
revealed,-and understand. ESTHER SHEPHERD. NOT

FIRST PRIZE STORY c.A Dandy Time There was an exciting thrill in the air,
rendered the more in-tense by the air of secrecy which accompanied it. The
members of the seventh grade class felt it, and looked at each other from
behind their books with widened eyes and compressed lips as if they were
afraid their secret would escape. And its escape seemed imminent, for
each individual appeared ready to burst with the importance of his
knowledge. The usual silent buzz of industri-ous study was given over to
the luxury of suppressed giggles and hastily scribbled notes, and even
Miss Gray's sharp request for order brought only a compromise in a change
of expression. Two people would look up, catch each other's eye, glance
significantly at the back of the only member of the class not in the
secret, and exchange solemn winks. Meanwhile, the object of all the
mystery, a charming young lady of twelve, sat with graceful head bent
raptly over her history lesson. All the disturbance was apparently lost on
her. She was serenely unconscious of the meaning glances and mysterious
winks, the whispering knots of girls at recess time and the sudden
silences when she appeared. For the great secret was that acme of
childish experience-a surprise party-and any disposition on the part of
the guest of honor to suspect it would be the rankest violation of an
unwritten law. Nor was this to be a common surprise party. Quite to the
contrary, it far out-ranked and out-shone any heretofore in the history of
the Milford seventh grade class. For one thing, it was an evening party.
For these young people, now almost in their 'teens, had quite passed the
stage of children's parties, where they must perforce be watched over by
their elders and sent scamper-ing home before it grew dark. Those days
were indeed over; they felt-and rightly-that this evening marked the
beginning of Their Day. Not the least happy and excited of that joyous
number was Minnie Graham, the newest member of the class. To her it held a
significance it did not have for the other children, to whom such things
had always been a part of their lives-it was her first party. Indeed, in
her fourteen and a half years, she had mingled very little with children
of her age. She had neither brother nor sis-ters, and having always lived
with her widowed mother (whom 0YO
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 123
----------
she loved-oh how she loved that mother!)) her memory of child-ish
playmates was slight. True, she had gone to school, but always in a city
where going to school with children does not always mean mingling in their
social affairs. Nor could this state of affairs be justly laid at the
door of her mother-poor, hard- working Mrs. Graham. She had done what she
could for her small and adoring daughter, but somehow there had never been
even the slightest left-over by which Minnie might join one of the small
girl clubs, or attend their weekly matinee parties. And thus it was that
Minnie faced with high anticipation and fast- heating heart, the evening
of her first party. She was standing in the small close bedroom, before
the dim-ily- covered stand which served as a dressing table, and striving
with much twisting and turning to get a full view in the cracked mirror
which hung above it, while the mother with patient work-worn fingers
lovingly settled the folds in the somewhat faded blue hair-ribbons and
smoothed the starched white dress. The old cracked mirror gave back the
vision of a happy young face, with a tender curl or two above it (a large
nail heated above the lamp had accomplished this miracle) and Minnie
decided that, in spite of the thin brown face and too large eyes, she
looked quite beauti-ful enough, even for this magnificent affair. In
fancy, she saw herself at the party, moving fairy-like and gracious among
the others, followed by all eyes, much sought after as a partner, by all
the boys, and greatly envied by the other girls. Enchanted by this picture
and by the vision in the mirror to which perhaps her great desire had lent
a charm not there, she turned to her mother, eyes shining and cheeks
slightly flushed. "Thank you, mother," in a happy half-shy young voice,
"Do I look-all right?" In silent answer, for her voice was choked, the
mother put her arms about the white-clad figure and kissed the glowing
face. In the warm autumn twilight Minnie hurried along the village street
and joined the laughing, chattering group on the drug store corner. They
had decided to meet here and go in a compact body to the house of Natalie
Wayne, whose mother was giving the party. So interested were they in
their brilliant play of wit and good-natured teasing, that no one noticed
the silent bashful figure which joined them and stood wistfully watching
and listening to others. Not for long, however, for presently, after much
jostling dispute as to who should lead, they fell into single file and
stole Indian-wise up the street. Minnie, thoroughly in the spirit of the
party, felt indeed one of them as they quietly filed up the narrow board
0
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 124
----------
sidewalk, their hushed silence only broken by an occasional hushed whisper
or burst of giggles. Now they stood in front of the house, and after a
whispered conference among the leaders, the group turned in at the gate
and crept in a crouching attitude across the lawn. As soon as all the
members were huddled together on the porch, one of the boys who had
previously claimed the privilege and who had been standing guard over his
rights, rang the door-bell, long and vigorously. The door was opened by
Natalie herself, very lovely in some-thing pink and shimmery, and who was
sufficiently surprised to satisfy even the most exacting. In the
dressing-room, whence the girls had gone to take off their wraps, Minnie
gazed in wide-eyed appreciation at the wonder of soft and
delicately-tinted dresses, flowing sashes, and dainty slippers. She
watched them and marveled, but it never occurred to her to envy until she
caught a glimpse of herself in a long mir-ror at the other end of the
room, her stiffly starched white dress contrasting pitifully with the sheer
exquisite blue of the girl beside her. Silently she followed others down
the velvet-carpeted stair-way, and into the living room, where the boys
were already seated stiffly on one side of the room, looking very
conscious in the glory of their best suits and hair smoothly plastered
down. The girls arrayed themselves on the other side, just as conscious,
but exceedingly more graceful. Minnie contrived to get a seat behind the
table, that no one might notice her school shoes, worn shabby through
service. Her cheeks were no longer flushed, and the light was gone from
her eyes, which now wore a strained expression and emphasized mer-cilessly
the pallor of the lean brown cheeks. Heretofore she had taken no part in
the gaiety; now there flashed before her mind a picture of what she had
dreamed she would be-a fairy princess in a fairy land. And with this
vision, she saw herself as she was- alone, unnoticed, and miserable. With
this realization, she made a last desperate effort to throw herself into
the easy sociability of the others, listening as if very much amused and
interested, to the light and frivolous sallies, and laughing louder than
anybody else at the clumsy attempts at humor. Soon, as the tension grew
less, and both girls and boys felt the irresistible desire for action,
someone started a game of "show." Now "show" necessitates the station of
one couple in some excluded spot-preferably the top step of a long winding
ii~o nYO
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 125
----------
staircase, and to this point the others go, also in pairs, until some
other couple is declared to be the "show." The children paired off and
went out, a couple at a time, mak-ing a constant stream of the going and
the coming. Their happy voices and gay laughter rang thru the room and the
halls, but no one came to get Minnie. She sat conspicuously alone now,
fol-lowing hungrily with her eyes the movements of the merry-mak-ers.
Pride kept her head up, and an amused smile on her mouth. Only when she
felt herself quite unnoticed did her mouth droop, and then only for a
moment, for upon the return of the animated crowd, she would assume the old
expression of amused cheerful-ness. Once or twice she noticed some of the
girls and boys look at her and speak to each other in low undertones. She
saw Natalie, a reigning goddess among her worshipers, speak to some of the
boys. They hung back a little, and then being seized with a bright idea,
called Natalie's younger brother, a mischievous lad of nine. He came
obedient, and listened to what the boys told him, turning meanwhile
squarely around to look at Minnie. Whatever the proposal was, he evidently
agreed, for he came goodnaturedly across the room and planted himself
before the table behind which sat Minnie. Then, in a clear, ringing voice,
which caused everyone in the room to stop and look around, and which
Minnie was certain could easily have been heard around the block, he said,
"May I see you to the show?" Minnie longed desperately for the power to
spring up grace- fully and give the child her hand merrily, but the
curious eyes of all that multitude were upon her, and she knew that she
could not. Flushing painfully, she heard herself saying in a stiff little
voice, "No, thank you, I don't care to go." In the hush which followed,
she heard a stifled snicker across the room, and she realized that she was
indeed lost now. How she got through that evening she never knew. It
seemed ages that she sat there, utterly apart, numb with disillusionment,
but still fixedly smiling. Refreshments came, and she ate her ice cream
mechanically, without tasting it. She went upstairs when the others did,
for her wraps, and she slipped out the big front door alone, into the cool
night, just as the children's voices rose on the chorus of "Good-night
Ladies." The streets were dark and deserted, as she walked quickly
homeward. A dry sob rose in her throat but she choked it down, fiercely.
She dared not cry, lest the quick eyes of her mother should discover the
traces of tears upon her cheek. With fingers pressed tightly against her
palms, her head thrown back, and II __ Ui Y t]

breath coming in long quivering inspirations, she hurried on. At the door
of her home she paused to gain control of her-self, and when her breathing
became more calm and natural and she felt that she could speak to her
mother cheerfully, if need be, she went in. In the bed room her mother
lay asleep. Without lighting the lamp on the stand Minnie started to untie
her ribbons and unbutton her dress in the dark, lest the mother should
waken. She had forgotten her own sorrow and disal)lointment in the great
fear that this best-loved, too, should he hurt. But her precautions were
useless, for the figure in the bed stirred and lifted a little. "Is it
you, Minnie? Come here dear." She reached a hand out groping in the dark.

SECOND PRIZE POEM Summer Night I was alone on the hill one night- It was
a summer night, And there was no moon-- I saw the dance of the spirits of
the sumnertime- Robed in glistening white, they were - Hundreds of
them--- And they held each other's hands And formed a great circle. They
moved slowly at first around the ring, But gradually the dance went faster
Un til At length I could see only a circle of light, Swaying up and
then down, Now higher on this side, Now on that, Faster and faster and
still faster. Suddenly The circle of light broke into fragments, And the
spirits vanished As so many sparks of fire. But one of them came back; I
know-for he brushed close beside me and kissed my cheek as he went by.
The fairies were playing peek-a-boo Down in the meadow. I could see how
each one was trying to hide And then surprise the others. One instant
they would disappear And at the next- Would be up again. I could see the
flash of lights-the little lights that they wore in their fairy crowns.

Just then I heard tiny voices very near, And I looked down; And there-
All over the hillside--- At my very feet I saw thousands of little
creatures- Queer, dark shapes they were-like little men- And it was they
who were speaking: "We are the sunbeam carriers," they said, "We catch
the sunbeams and carry them to the roots of the flow-ers. All day long we
toil; We run as fast as we can On our trips between the upper world where
the sunbeams are And the homes of the flower roots. We get warm and tired
from our labor thru the day; At night we come out to rest And let the
night breezes cool our hair." I know that they told the truth For I felt
their warm breath. The heat of their bodies radiated upward and made all
the air warm. "How might it be that you saw such strange things?" you
will ask, "Things that we have never before seen nor heard of-" I cannot
answer that- I do not know- All I can say is: It was a summer night.

SECOND PRIZE STORY cAunt Sarah's Trip "There," said Sally Winens with
bitter resignation, as Tommy, the smiling Philippine deck steward bowed
himself away. "There goes Aunt Sarah's winter hat, with that tip, the
collection for disabled seamen will take her Christmas magazine, and I
sup-pose Tommy will get my spats." Sally turned wearily in her nmummy-like
wrappings and found herself looking squarely into the eyes of the man in
the next chair. He was an inconspicuous young fellow, with a fine dark
face, and he huddled within innumerable rugs, as if the steady little
Pacific breeze, so relentlessly whipping his eyes and flicking his hair,
was a blast from the Pole. "My cell-mate" she had desig-nated him, the
second day out, in impatient realization of their isolation in a recess of
the deck, and the shadow of a big red funnel. His name, Bill Woodruff,
scribbled on a card on his deck chair, was familiar to her, as the
discriminating mark on their respective cells, but Bill Woodruff himself
had seemed to deject-edly alone-so oblivious to the gay promenaders-she
had found it dispiriting to watch him. "He's the only other person on this
ship as forlorn as I," she reflected. "Mercy! He might be in for life."
Now, as she met his questioning smile, something singularly sympathetic in
the deeply set blue eyes, encouraged her to speak. "I suppose you think me
demented, soliloquizing like this," she hazarded recklessly. "It sounds
surprising and interesting," said he, his smile per-sisting. "Is Tommy
taking old clothes for tips this trip? And why spats and Aunt Sarah's hat?
If he wears 'em, he'll be quite the most spectacular thing on this ship,
and some of those girls are going to resent that." He nodded toward some
laughing damsels, lurching arm in arm down the deck, their skirts
alarm-ingly short and their sweaters and caps smears of primary color
against the white paint. In spite of a spasmodic effort for dignity, Sally
giggled help-lessly, and as her companion joined with a grin that showed
his white teeth, she thought quickly, "He's English-and really young -I
wonder why I didn't notice, at first." Mr. Woodruff's eyes rested
appreciatively on her soft young face-the cheeks flushed by the sharp sea
breeze, and the black-lashed eyes guilelessly appealing in their
embarrassment. "Good Lord," he marveled, "she's as refreshing as sunrise
in the coun- 1 C
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 130
----------
try. So they really do send them out alone like this in the States." "My
gibbering is the result of solitary confinement," she confided gayly.
"I've been so hoarse from not speaking to a soul except the stewards,
that I occasionally try my voice. The fact is-hesi-tating- this trip must
take the place with me of food, shelter, and raiment for years to come.
You overheard an itemized account of vanishing luxuries. You see," with an
adorable smile, "I'm a plain business woman." Then, as even to this
neutral young man, Sally longed to appear sophisticated, "Now you'll think
I am crazy, telling you all that," she ended in chagrin. Her companion
pulled his chair closer to hers. "On the con-trary," he answered, "there's
something intensely practical about the sound of it. I wish you'd tell me
more. Sitting here hour after hour, when I'm not looking at the sea or
throwing bread to the silly gulls, I can't help noticing you are rather
alone." "And in-credibly young," he added to himself. "You're putting it
delicately," said Sally, with a sniff. "You know perfectly well that not
a passenger on this ship has spoken to me, or flickered an eyelash in my
direction. You must know that when they all walk past I sit here with a
glassy, unconscious expression, until my face is as stiff as a mask. Oh!
it's all so dis-appointing, when I think of poor Aunt Sarah!" To her
mortifica-tion her voice grew husky; worse still her attempt to wink back
two big tears that welled to her brown eyes was unsuccessful, and her
frenzied search in her plethoric sweater pockets, failed to pro-duce a
handkerchief. "Take mine," said her listener, thrusting out a fold of
snowy linen and considerately turning his eyes away. He rose now, and,
Sally dabbing at the tears, thought that in the parlance of Dodgeville,
"He looked awfully nice." Indeed she was surprised that she had ever
thought him insignificant, he seemed so inde-finably lithe and graceful as
he leaned against the red funnel. "If you don't mind my maunderings," he
was saying, in the crisp English that delighted her provincial ears,
"perhaps I can give you some good advice. My brain is clogged with a lot I
haven't been able to use. Of course it was given to be, but it has
positively no sentiment attached and I'll part with it cheerfully to a
suitable victim. Now then-state the case of Aunt Sarah, her hat and the
disappointment. Will she take it to heart be-cause those young rainbows
haven't warmed up to a flapper like you?" "I suppose it did sound too
'phantasamnagoria'" laughed Sally quite herself again, "I ought to explain
that in the first place I'm not so awfully young." She hesitated-then
with a flash of courage-"In the next place, I'm a poor school teacher."
"No," exclaimed the man, "Extraordinary." Words seemed ~o CnV 0
----------

----------
to fail him and he murmered "absolutely extraordinary," again. "Well?" he
was forced to inquire, as Sally, confused by the admiration in his
laughing eyes, busied herself with a refractory curl. "Let's have the gist
of the story, as it were." "It's hard to tell" she submitted seriously,
"for I don't think you ever saw a place like Dodgeville. That's where I
teach, and live with my aunt." "Enter Aunt Sarah," interpolated MIr.
Woodruff. "You mustn't laugh at Aunt Sarah, even in fun," she flashed.
"She is wonderful. I wish I could make you see her so you'd re-alize she
never could be ridiculous. She is a dainty, faded little old woman, but so
sweet, so strong, so self sacrificing. We lead a pinched, monotonous life
but Aunt Sarah's always had one big interest-she has wanted me to go
abroad some day. First it was the dream of her life to go herself. Once
she was all ready, and grandmother was taken ill, and next it was
grandfather. Finally I was left a miserable little orphan-to take her time
and money. She started then planning for me-simply giving the whole thing
up for herself. She has read and studied and absorl)ed Europe until it
must be--must be-" "Engraved on her heart like France on Mary
whatyoucallem's" supplemented her listener. Sally nodded and continued
with recovered breath. "They ask her to give talks to the Sunday School
and Book Club, on "Roman Ruins" or "Walks in Paris," and she knows so much
more than some people who've been there ever want to know! It is pitiful.
The story was coming with a rush now, and the man's eyes were fixed
intently on the drifting spirals of smoke where sky line melted into sea
on the distant horizon. "The war didn't put a stop to her plans for then
she was all for Honolulu and Japan. Poor Auntie has scrimped and
scrimpl)el, and so have I. We have lived like two genteel spinster
spartans," explosively. We've pretended for years that we didn't like an
egg for breakfast, or picture shows, or ice cream, or car rides. Aunt
Sarah thinks it's ladylike to pretend you don't want a thing you can't
have." "That's not so futile," said her companion. "It is one way of
keeping your troubles to yourself. Aunt Sarah is rilping! She's a 'good
old sport,' as the men say over here." "Horrors! If she could hear you,"
said Sally, "she would snatch me out of your vi-cinity in a jiffy." He
laughed. "You're going to tell me how she pulled off this trip aren't
you?" for Sally had relapsed into silence. "I was thinking of the day she
gave me the money," she said slowly. "She seemed so frail and tremulous,
and the look on her face made me choke up in the midst of my rapture-it
was so- 131
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 132

exalted. The money was some she had borrowed, and some saved by not having
the house painted, and in hundreds of pathetic little ways. She even
decided to wear a six-year-old dress a little longer, 'freshened up with a
nice white collar,' as she said. For two months she studied itineraries
and fluttered over preparations like a little grey bird at nest building.
There was a letter from the minister's missionary cousin, with a list of
hotels he had visited fifteen years ago, and a visit from the minister
himself, touching delicately on the deplorable interest in the Hula
dance, shown by tourists. I was deluged with remedies for sea-sickness,
cretonne soap cases, and copies of the 'Lady of the Decoration,' and I
re-ceived a beribboned wire frame a little like a parrot cage but more
like a lamp shade, which proved to be a thing to keep my hat on in the
stateroom." "I'll make a note of that, as an addition to a comfort kit,"
laughed the Englishman. "I can assure you it's indispensable," she
dimpled. "Well, Aunt Sarah was pleased with everything. She said the best
part of the whole trip would be on ship-board; meeting interesting
people, making friends, playing shuffleboard with jolly crowds,
promenading the deck and singing on moonlight nights. Some-times when we
talked of it, sitting in the dusk before the fire, she would reach out for
my hand and we would sit and dream like children over a fairy tale. The
last moment of all, she slipped some envelopes into my bag. 'Just one for
each day on ship-board,' she said. 'It may be hard to take time from the
other young people, but I know my little girl will share the most
won-derful experience of her life, with me.' She looked around the
crowded deck as if it had the glamour of a ship of dreams. 'Those letters
will be my trip abroad,' she said. Then she was hurried down the gang-way,
her delicate old face distorted in an effort at a goodbye smile." There
was a pause. Then Sally rose with a hopeless gesture. "I haven't written
one thing yet," she said bitterly. "I can't write her a lie, and I can't
tell her I've been as lonesome as a smallpox suspect in quarantine." Bill
Woodruff smiled, the tension relieved by her incongruous conclusion.
Besides, she was so frankly, distractingly pretty in spite of the "old
warm clothing" so recklessly advised by the guide books. "I don't
understand how it's happened," he said, "but there certainly hasn't been
anything soul-stirring to put in those letters. Shuffleboard-jolly crowds-
moonlight"-he enumerated slowly, "we can manage that; Aunt Sarah has them
all from soup to fish, and I shall help write the letters," he declared.
"What about this crowd," reflectively, "I know some of them are a good
sort." 0 13

Yes, she returned satirically. There is a party of English officers and
diplomats and their wives. They've been touring in the interests of the
Allies and naturally they keep to themselves. When those girls even pass
me I feel countrified and the rest of the women lie in rows like cocoons,
writing endless letters and complaining about the service. Oh! Everything's
wrong with me-clothes, place at table-most of all being alone like this. I
suppose men don't mind," with a sweet little smile of commiseration, "but
I called you my cell-mate when I saw you shared my hard luck." Her
cell-mate struck the railing with unnecessary vim. "Well, I am an
unmitigated idiot," he exclaimed. I subsidized Tommy to put me in a quiet
corner and at first I thought you might have done the same. I might give
my own credentials before we talk any more. I'm one of that English crowd
myself"-with an abruptness that was almost boyish. I am Captain William
Wood-ruff- usually harmless, but very irritable while convalescing. I was
buried by a shell explosion and sent home to pull myself to-gether." He
smiled in deprecation of her gasp of astonishment and excitement. "It's
been awfully hard to be shelved, I can tell you, but I found I could so
something in Canada and the States and for a month we've been visiting
camps, reviewing troops, doing state dinners, while all the time I've
been wild to be back with the rest of the fellows. Finally I collapsed
like a silly baby and that's why we are trying this trip. My sister and
her husband are on board, and my pal Ted Cocannon. They've been leaving me
to sulk alone, but Ted will be keen for the shuffleboard and walking.
Tomorrow I shall tuck you under Alice's motherly wing and she'll see that
you have a jolly good time, and Ted will try to monopolize you and tell
you how to play polo. We want this trip to broaden Aunt Sarah." He smiled
at her vivid face. They were leaning on the rail, looking down at the long
green swells slowly breaking into crests of silver froth. The waves
seemed to vibrate before Sally's confused eyes. Captain Woodruff was
continuing in his tranquil voice. "We are a good many days in arrears on
Aunt Sarah's trip, and we've a lot of material to collect for letters."
He began collecting cushions, rugs and chairs and bestowing them upon the
ubiquitous Tommy. There will be a place near the life boats on the boat
deck where we can see a streak of moonlight reaching to Dodgeville," he
said. He stood sharply silhouetted against a dark sky-very clean-cut and
soldierly in his rough clothes. Curling wisps of mist trailed past the
sickle moon, which hung high in a sky turning blue-black after a brief
twilight. "Aunt Sarah is a prophetess," he said with a great sigh. I
think our trip and hers is going to be the most wonderful thing in our
lives." CATHERINE FIFIELD.

FIRST PRIZE ESSA Y October 7, 1777 The Day When Arnold Should Have Died.
The human mind is fickle. It is not a unit, instead of a single harmonious
agency it is an uncertain compound of elements, both good and evil. It is
the most chaotic portion of man. Almost from infancy it is the scene of a
desperate struggle-integrity and faithfulness vieing with their many
enemies. Which will be vic-torious no mortal can tell. As the readers of
American history stop to study and consider the characters, the minds, the
motives, alike of our heroes and our traitors, Washington-in all his glory
and heroism--stands before us the father of his country. Another we see,
despised and hated, in all the disgrace of a traitor- one who sacrificed
all integrity, popularity, and respect, one who but for his lack of moral
courage and strength of character might have, to this day, been ranked
next to Washington and Greene,--we see Benedict Arnold, deserter and
betrayer of his fatherland in its time of greatest need. His treason is
the most dramatic incident in America. Yea, even more-"The fact that
Washington loved and admired him is sufficient warrant that his character
was at least great enough to make its ruin a tragedy." Had he not been the
victim of a rash, impulsive, jealous mind; had he not been deficient in
intellect and tact and oversensitive to public opinion, in Arnold was the
making of a patriot, than which none might have been greater. Jealous,
because his elders were promoted over him, he sold him-self cheap,-cheap
as the very dirt upon which the lowest of criminals tread. The price paid
for his dishonor was 6,000 pounds sterling, a brigadier-ship in the British
army, the hatred of the American nation, and the contempt of all England.
What a reward! What a worthy reward! "Unsightly is deformity e'en in the
gnarled and storm-riven oak or stunted flower. Doubly deformed is a
deformed mind." Such was Arnold's. Nature's blunder! A ruined soul!
Never-the-less it is only just to recall his services to the cause of
American independence: The remarkable deeds of Arnold, the patriot, at
Ticonderoga and Crown Point, his "active, intelli-gent, and enterprising"
deeds at Quebec; and his valiant heroism in the naval combat on Lake
Champlain. Though impetuous, hasty O1 D

and self-willed, ever striving for honor, he risked his life again and
again for his country. At the most critical point of the Revo-lution, when
even Gates had not the courage to attack Burgoyne, Arnold, ever on the
alert, took command, urged on the army, and on October 7, 1777, won a
decisive victory at Behmus Heights, near Saratoga, and crowned his day
with glory. However, these are not the things that are suggested to our
minds when we hear the name of Benedict Arnold, but "the name stands, and
will ever stand, as the symbol of unfaithfulness to trust." Treason dashes
all honor to dust. He, who won fame at Behmus Heights, was more severely
wounded there than at Quebec. During the six months of his convalescence,
the fire of Satan burst forth and all honor was obliterated. Scarcely had
he recovered when he began plotting the deed which caused his disgraceful
downfall. From childhood Arnold had possessed a certain "obduracy of
conscience, cruelty of disposition, irritability of temper," and a
reckless indifference to the good or ill opinion of others. This left but
a weak founda-tion upon which to build a character worthy of honor. Once
in the path of wrong "Temptation begets sin and sin yet further sin and
this again punishment sure and inexorable." How thankful we are that
heaven relieved the loving mother of the anguish of witnessing her son's
career of "ambition without virtue, of glory tarnished with crime, and of
depravity ending in infamy and ruin." It was from motive of interest, not
choice, that Arnold did not betray his country till such a time as the
baser elements of his mind gained supremacy, for it has been truly and
wisely spoken: "In every mind of might some faculty predominates and by
its single strength measures the greatness,-or perchance, the misery, of a
life." Because of these baser faculties Arnold went down, down, lived in a
traitor's disgrace and died sorrowing for his sins. Washington, his
steadfast friend, upon hearing of his down-fall, with choking voice and
tearful eyes, said to Lafayette, "Ar-nold is a traitor, and has fled to
the British! Whom now can we trust?" The hatred of every American for this
traitor may be summed up in the following conversation: Arnold, upon
asking an American captive, "What do you suppose my fate would be if my
misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner?" received the prompt and
frank reply, "They would cut off the leg that was wounded at Saratoga and
Quebec and bury it with the honors of war, and the rest of you they would
hang on a gibbet." It may be truly said that no man is so base that in him
can be found no good, for Arnold's last days, spent in London, were days
of bitter remorse and reproach. The great name which he had so gallantly
won and so basely lost left him in peace neither

night nor day. The strong frame which had withstood many a battle at last
broke down. On his last day he called for his American uniform, which he
had carefully preserved, and putting it on said, "Let me die in this old
uniform in which I fought my battles. May God forgive me for ever putting
on another." Along the western wall of the little chapel at West Point are
a number of marble tablets. Each records, with the dates of birth and
death, the name of a major general who has done honor to this our native
country. Upon one of these may be seen "Major General;" a deep mark across
the record effaces the name. Following the date, "Born 1740," is another
deep groove, for it has been truly said "Death to honor merits no reward."
Thus closes the awful drama of a ruined soul. FLORENCE DODGE. ~I2zZZ3

Lost and Found--A Claim and A Daughter The long summer day was fast
fading into the dusk which gives evidence of night, the only distinguishing
mark between night and day in the North country, where summer means light
all night, where night gives way to day. Julia Barton watched the
declining day with a wistful longing which she could not ex-plain even to
herself. There was so much work to be done among these people with whom
she labored, but lately they seemed to draw back from her and to refuse
stubbornly the willing aid which she had offered them in so many cases
where death had been steadily and gradually warded off by her constant
care. Ever since the death of Oglok, a little Eskimo baby, the people had
re-garded her with that reticent air which Julia could not understand in
them. She had worked day and night over the baby, but de-spite all her
solicitude the little life had slipped beyond her grasp. Although she had
done her best to bring the suffering child back to health, Julia knew that
it was the most merciful thing that could have happened when her efforts
failed, for the people were so ignorant, so helpless when caring for their
sick, that the suf-fering endured, especially by the children, was
unspeakable. And now for some unaccountable reason the people were
refusing the aid so necessary to their best welfare and were falling back
into their old ignorance and superstition. Julia knew that Father
Marceau, the Catholic priest, was making his annual visit to the little
village of Chugiack and she also knew what deep resentment he bore toward
her, a Protestant, because of the people's deep-set affection for her and
her work among them during the year he had been away. She had noticed how
the people revered the priest and how they hoarded their pitifully small
earnings to give to him when he made his yearly visit. She had seen the
reception given him when he entered the village, how the Eskimos welcomed
him to the best hut and carried him in, kissing his feet and paying him
such reverence as would be accorded only to a god. She could understand
how jealous such a man would be of the slightest shifting of affection to
any-one other than himself. Now, as Julia sat in the doorway, with that
wistful expression on her face, watching the day fade into night, she was
pondering upon all this and wondering if these circumstances were in any I
way connected with the people's changing attitude toward her. I
----------

Finally, with a sigh, she arouse and made her way to one of the little
huts of the village. Here was the home of her best friend among the Eskimo
women. Mushwa had been the first to receive Julia and accept her aid and
now when the other inhabitants of Chugiack were slowly turning away from
the care of the young nurse, Mushwa proved a better friend than ever,
calling upon Julia in cases of illness and persuading the Eskimo women to
trust her and allow her to care for their ailing ones. Mushwa's little boy
had been through a severe illness, but was now steadily regaining his
health and vigor. As Julia stepped inside the little one-roomed dwelling,
Mushwa came forward eagerly and took both her hands, giving her a
searching glance. Julia looked up quickly. "And are you too beginning to
doubt me, Mushwa?" she asked. "No, no, Mliss Julia, Mushwa know you her
frien'; Mushwa not doubt you. But, Miss Julia-" "Yes, Mushwa, what is it?"
and Julia scanned the Eskimo woman's face trying to read the look there
hidden. "Well, Miss Julia, you know you not a Catholic, and Father
Marceau, he tell that you no can go to heaven an' so my people say you bad
an'- "And what, Mushwa?" "Oh, Miss Julia, now they think you bewitch
Oglok an' that's why he die!" "And do you believe that too, Mushwa?"
"No, no, no! I tell you so you can go. You mus' go tonight. My people ask
the Father if you kill Oglok an' he not say, so they know you bewitch him,
and tonight they going to kill you, so Oglok's spirit be not bewitched an'
so he go to the land of the Blessed. Oh, Miss Julia, Mushwa want you to
go! You mus' go now!" Julia managed to stumble to her home to better
think out what plan to take. She knew now what the priest's malice had
brought him to. Mushwa had spoken truly, she knew, for the Eskimo were
easily aroused to suspicion and when once aroused nothing would do but
that accounts must be balanced, a death for a death. Quickly she made her
decision. She must leave the village as soon as it became dark. Mushwa's
elder son, Ilkan, would be her guide and would make provision for the long
mush over the trail. Julia made her preparations quickly, taking only the
barest necessities. Then she made a trip to Mushwa's cabin to ask that
lkan be allowed to accompany her. Mushwa was de-lighted to help her friend
in this way and inside of an hour two travellers met at the edge of the
little village of Chugiack, one a LO 11
----------

----------
woman, the other a lad. Without a word they started off over the trail.
As they covered mile after mile of the well-beaten path Julia had time to
ponder over her new condition. Now, if ever, she longed for that father of
whom she knew so little. All she knew of him was what the people who had
brought her up had told her. They had told her that when her mother died,
her father had answered the call of the North, leaving the baby with them,
but sending money each year to provide for her needs. He never sent any
word to the child and all that her benefactors knew of him was that he was
prospecting in the Northern country, the one desire which mastered him
being to discover that gold which had eluded and disappointed so many men
before. He was evidently making some good discoveries as money came
regularly for Julia's edu-cation and needs, but his desire seemed to be
for a greater dis-covery, for more and more of the yellow dust. Now as she
trav-eled over the snow, Julia wondered where her father could lbe. She
had come to Chugiack hoping to find him there, for his letters were always
stamped with that postmark, but she had been dis-appointed during her
year's sojourn in Chugiack as she had heard and seen nothing of him. A
nurse by profession, she had taken to caring for the Eskimo who so needed
her help, and now she was fleeing from those very people for whom she had
done so much. And where was that father whom she had come up to Alaska
in search of? Had she but known it, he was nearer to her now than he had
been any time during the year, for his cabin was only a hundred miles from
Chugiack. As he changed his prospecting grounds during the years, Mr.
Barton had each time built a tem-porary cabin of logs where he might have
shelter and protection from the cold. The night before Julia's hasty
flight from the Es-kimo village he had again made a change in his grounds
and con-sequently in his home. While searching for better prospects he
had stumbled over something almost buried in the ground. He dug it up and
found that it was an old broken rocker. He began making a hurried search
and with his pick he soon uncovered a rusty gold pan. This made him more
eager to continue his search but as night was drawing near he began to
look around for a good resting place. The rocker was at the foot of a
small hill and Barton climbed this, thinking to get a better view of the
country and figuring that he might find the cabin where the prospector who
had left his rocker had lived while working there. His speculation proved
true for on his right a short distance from the hill he could see what was
evidently an old cabin. He started towards it and ar- 03
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 140
----------
rived at the door within a few minutes. The door was standing open and one
glance inside showed that no one had lived there for some time. Barton
looked around him. The remains of a woodpile lay rotting at one side,
weeds grew thick around the door and the roof was beginning to cave in. He
was reminded of a reclamation scheme he had once observed on a moose skin.
Burned on the skin was a deserted cabin, near it a broken rocker and an
old shaft. Back of the house grew tall evergreen trees, just as they did
here. A moose was crossing over to the rocker, again return-ing to his own
haunts. Beneath the picture was the following verse: "No sound breaks the
stillness now, in the soft waving light Of Alaska's dark winters all
frozen so tight; The miner is gone, the prospector fled, The claim is
abandoned, their hopes are all dead." As this flashed through Barton's
mind he entered the cabin. A musty damp odor prevailed. In one corner was
a bed, maga-zines now yellowed with age strewn over it. By the window was
a table with a candle on it and a pack of faded dog-eared cards. On the
nails about the room were old clothes now grown moldy. Barton made the
cabin habitable for the night and soon had a good fire built in the little
stove which looked as if it too were ready to totter over with age. The
next morning after a breakfast of hot coffee and bacon, Barton started
feverishly on his search begun the preceding day. Toward the end of the
day, with the aid of his pick, he located a shaft sunk in the earth. Now
he had found what he was working for. Realizing that it would take several
days before he could clear out the accumulated dirt he stopped for the
night and again made camp. He continued his work day after day and by the
end of the fifth day he was panning out a shovelful of the earth in which
there were glimmerings of the yellow dust which he knew so well. The
result was beyond all expectation! Assuredly some misfortune had befallen
the former prospector or such a find would not have remained unknown!
Barton panned out several more shovelfuls to assure himself of the
richness of his discovery and then returned to the cabin. Mosquitos were
thick, for it was the latter part of June and a warm summer night.
Stopping only long enough to build a fire in the stove, Barton went out to
gather twigs and green wood for a smudge to drive them away. As he was
gathering the fuel he heard voices from the direction of the cabin and
Barton quickly retraced his steps. ILI
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 141
----------
Meanwhile Julia and Ilkan were hurrying over the trail, plan-ning the trip
so they could make a roadhouse each night. No misfortune had befallen them
and they were making good time until the fifth day. They were traveling
over a rough part of the trail covered with "niggerheads," those bunches
of earth with tufts of grass on them, made apparently to test man's
patience and perserverance. Julia was stepping, first on top of one, then
between the next two, then stumbling onto the next one. It made progress
decidedly tedious and very slow. They were just about through this stretch
of country when Julia slipped and fell. A sprained ankle was the result
and this made traveling still slower. It was impossible to reach a
roadhouse that night, but luck favored them for they saw smoke rising
between some trees, and follow- ing to where the smoke came from they
beheld a small log cabin. No one was inside at the time so they walked in
and made them-selves at home, knowing that if the owner were a true
Alaskan they would be perfectly welcome. As Barton neared the door of the
cabin he stopped for a mo-ment to listen to the voices. He recognized that
of a man and woman, but this was not all. The voice of the woman was
strangely familiar. It seemed like a voice he had heard years ago, but for
a moment he could not place it. He stepped into the cabin. There, as he
expected, were a man and a woman. The man was an Eskimo whom he had seen
when on one of his trips to Chugiack to mail the check to his daughter-his
little Julia, who was living down in the States-but the woman-where had he
seen her be-fore? He knew he had not seen her and yet there was something
peculiarly familiar about her. Then she spoke: "I have sprained my ankle
and we have stopped here to see if I could do anything for it and to
arrange for some kind of lodg-ing." That voice-now he knew of whom he was
thinking, whose name he was trying to recall. This woman was almost the
exact image of his beloved wife who had died some twenty-five years ago.
Could it be possible that his little Julia had grown up to be so much like
her mother, and could this be little Julia? But no! she could not be this
old, and yet, as he counted it up, it had been twenty-five years. Of
course she would have changed! And she would be just about the age of this
woman standing before him. Without answering her request he came closer to
her. "Could it be possible that your name is Julia- -Julia Barton?" he
wavered. Julia looked up in astonishment. "Why, yes, that is just my
name. How could you ever know it? You're not-are you-?" OLI
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 142
----------
But the question remained unfinished. Before she could say any-thing more
she was caught up in the arms of her father, who mur- Inured over and over
as he kissed her, "My daughter!-my little Julia!" That night after supper
Isaac Barton told Julia of all that had befallen him, after questioning
her as to how she happened to come to this far Northland. He told her of
his rich find and what it would mean to them. They sat up long and talked
of the plans for the future. llkan would return to his people and they
would start immediately for the States where they would spend the win-ter
getting the men and machinery necessary to carry on the min-ing work. As
the sun slowly went down to rise again in less than two hours, a voice was
heard coming from the little old deserted cabin in the wilderness. The
voice was that of Isaac Barton, the words Robert Service's, and they rose
and fell clearly on the night air: "I wanted the gold, and I sought it; I
scrabbled and miucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy-I fought it;
I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold, and I got it- Came out
with a fortune last fall, Yet somehow life's not what I thought it, And
somehow the gold isn't all." FAITH CONDIT. 1LT c l0

SECOND PRIZE ESSA Y ' e Great War and Democracy" Much has bleen said of
the horrors of the great war, and no doubt a vast amount more could lie
added. The spectacle of the earth's peoples bending their energies to kill
and destroy, sacri-ficing the best men of our generation-such is the
international anarchy which has engulfed the world. Can any good come out
of this chaos? If so, will the gains ever offset the losses? Now let us
consider some advantages resulting from this seeming ruin. That up to the
beginning of this conflict the bulk of the peo-ple had manifested apathy
toward international, and even na-tional politics, has frequently been
pointed out. Each seemed content to follow his own petty business.
"Politics don't interest me," was a common remark. But what a change has
taken place in the attitude of the individual since the opening of the
struggle between nations! It has been brought home to him with tragic
force that the nation dominates the individual, even in matters of life
and death. This realization is bearing fruit; it is making for true
democracy. For example, in England about a year after the war began, King
George criticised cartoonists for caricaturing the kaiser; he said it was
an indignity directed toward his class. The people re-plied through their
representatives in Parliament by cutting off the pensions of his majesty's
alien relatives. The women of England, who before the war had no immediate
chance of getting the ballot, despite the activity of a few suffra-gettes,
will now be granted suffrage because of their heroic in-dustry and
sacrifice during the struggle. And it remained for the world war to
overthrow despotism in Russia. Previous uprisings of liberal and
intellectual groups had been crushed with an iron hand, and the reformers
banished to Siberia. At the opening of hostilities the majority of the
soldiers recruited for the Russian army were illiterate and ignorant.
They, like their fathers before them, had tilled the soil for their
masters; they had known nothing but hard work and meagre fare; they had
been tractable, blindly obedient to constituted authority. But here and
there in the various regiments were men who had read and thought, men
with a vision of those wonderful ideas- liberty and equality. These men
talked, cautiously, of course, but never-theless, effectively. Such ideas
the bulk of the men had barely heard of before, an then only as something
to be shunned. But they listened, fascinated. And these talks filled in
time during
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 144
----------
their ample periods of inactivity. New desires soon stirred in their
breasts; their vision grew broader, and they formed a truer conception of
their own worth. Thus by word of mouth these unlettered soldiers learned
of democracy. The conditions brought about by war had opened their eyes.
So when the despised Duma made the bold stroke that hurled the despot from
his throne, the army raised their guns to proclaim a constitutional
government. The echo of this revolution was heard in Germany. Social-ists,
who had long been restive under the plural voting system, now urged
manhood suffrage in no uncertain terms. This demand is being considered
seriously by the government, though before the war it had been ignored.
Also, the unprecedented slaughter in this war has in a large measure
abolished the traditional gulf between officers and men. For even through
the gilt and regalia of officers, death stalks. Indeed, so many officers
have been killed that it has necessitated the wholesale promotion of
enlisted men. Death is a great leveler. When one sees men killed and
wounded about him, indiscrimin-ately, one realizes that we all have the
same capacity for suffering -that we all are of common clay. And now, in
the fighting nations the people no longer see in war a picture of stalwart
troops marching gaily behind the colors to stirring martial music. They
know better. They know war as a hideous specter that kills and mutilates
the men on the field and starves and makes heart-sick the women, children
and old men at home. So steeped are these people in blood and sorrow that
when the conflict is over they will rise, one and all, to de-mand a peace
that is secure and permanent. President Wilson, on the advent of the
United States into the great war, voiced our country's position as
standing for broader democracy among the peoples of the earth and for a
League of Nations to enforce world peace. So we have reason to believe
that, although the world will have sacrificed hosts of its best men in the
conflict, still those left behind and their descendants will find this a
more just world in which to live. Thus the great war will not have been in
vain. YOR

\Velcher SENIOR CONTESTAN'TS Altman Parkins McKenzie Kirkman Johanson
The public speaking contest this term differed somewhat from that of the
past. Heretofore there has been individual competi- tion in declamation,
five being chosen for the finals from a tryout and the winner and second
choice receiving a prize of ten and five dollars respectively. The debate
was conducted in the same man-ner. Six were chosen from the tryout for the
final contest, three on a side, selected by lot, the winning team
receiving a thirty dollars cash prize to be divided equally among its
members. This year a committee consisting of members of the Junior and
Senior classes met with the members of the faculty contest committee and
arranged the following contest: Dramatic reading, 20 points; humorous
reading, 20 points; extempore talk on a current topic, 10 points; and a
debate, 50 points; totaling 100 points, each class to be represented by
one speaker in each event; the contest in debate to have a team of three
on a side; the total cash prize of fifty dollars for both debate and
declamation to go to the class receiving the greatest number of points.
Saturday evening, April 7, in the Normal Auditorium, the Juniors and
Seniors again met in deadly combat. This time, how-ever, not a contest in
physical prowess, but to establish the su-premacy in public speaking. Both
classes were well represented. The following people participated: Margery
Draper, Elsie Miescke and Ellen Peterson representing the Juniors in the
two readings and the extempore talk, while Martha Johanson, Frances t~it

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING TEAM Selby Webster Wenz Van Horn, Coach Debate:
Question-Resolved, that the Public Schools Be Required to Adopt the
Recommendations of the Na-tional Spelling Reform Board. Affirmative,
Juniors; negative, Seniors. The Seniors did not anticipate a landslide.
The Juniors re- ceived one vote on the debate but points were only counted
for the winners, thus giving the Seniors 100 points. After enough has
been deducted for medals for the winners, the balance of the fifty dollar
prize money will go toward the pur-chase of a memorial for the school.
Although the contest was an experiment, it proved a remark-able success.
Both teams did extremely well and deserve the honor and respect of not
only their classmates, but the student body and the school as a whole.
Class spirit was evidenced in a most kindly feeling and the Juniors proved
themselves true sportsmen in defeat. C. L. HUGHES. ~L~a l _U M r_ L103

President - - MR. E. J. BROWN Vice-President - - - VIDA DEIGH - Treasurer
- - - ARNOLD KAAS Sergeant-at-Armis - - MR. FARREL Klipsun Reporter At
the beginning of the school year last September a precedent was
established which is worthy of notice. While at our Normal, feeling
toward the lower classmen has never been rampant, yet there has been a
decided advantage and pleasure resulting from the union of the Freshmen
and Sophomore classes into one class known as the Elementary. This class
is the smallest in the school, yet its influence is felt in various phases
of Normal activities. Its members are found taking active parts in
various organizations and clubs of the school, Rural Life, Philos,
Aletheia, Ohiyesa, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and the Board of Control. Our
members, not yet having learned the devices whereby it is possible to skim
along without studying, are, of course, brilliant leaders in class
recitation, and are always wide awake. Now, there are exceptions to most
rules, and it is true that one of our choicest young men fell asleep in
English one Monday morning while Mr. Parrish was reading Paradise Lost.
There was consid- erable debate at the time, as to whether he was overcome
by sul-phurous fumes or lulled to sleep by Mr. Parrish's rich, melodious
voice. Both sides presented able arguments but a decision was never
reached, because a few days later the measles claimed him as a victim, and
all conjecture was merged into sympathy. Our class meetings have been
enlivened by the addition of parliamentary drill and occasional programs.
Our parties have always been occasions for a general good time. They will
long be retained as pleasant memories of our school life. None that
at-tended the "Children's Party" and the Christmas Tree are likely to
forget. On March 10th, the class was entertained by Miss Estella Burnside
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Henderson. Some good individual work was
done by the basketball team. The team work was not so good. The Kline cup
was never in danger of being captured by our team. However, effort is
always to be commended whether or no the object striven for be won. We
shall remember our team dared to oppose the two stronger teams. We feel,
as a class, that our success and pleasant social times together have been
due to the interest our class advisors, Mr. Philippi, Miss Keeler, Miss
Sands and Mr. Chute, have exerted in our behalf. May they accept our
appreciation. tJr raC "1 rII J a

BRYANT HELEN BRYANT - - - Secretary - - - IRINE RAMSEY ELLA PETERSON
AUSTIN BONI) - - - 7reasrer - - - ()RRIN FRY When in the course of
student events it becomes necessary for one class to dissolve for the time
being, the Normal bands which have connected it with the others and to
demand from the readers of this book the separate and higher distinction
to which class organization entitles it, a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind requires that it declare the causes which entitle it to this
distinc-tion. We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all classes
are created equal; that they are endowed by the faculty with certain
inalienable rights; that among these are life, organization, and the
pursuit of learning. That to secure these rights, faculty advisors are
instituted among classes as deriving their just power from the consent of
Dr. Nash, and that, when, under the leadership of these advisors, any
class attains unusual honor and success, it is the right of that class to
claim its due respect and distinction. Prud-ence, indeed, will dictate
that this respect should not be sought for light and transient causes, but
when a long train of accomp-lishments and successes evince the superior
quality of any class, it is the right of that class, indeed, its duty, to
demand this recog-nition. Such has been the achievement of the Junior
class. The history of the class of '18 is a history of repeated
accomplishments and victories. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a
candid world: It is the largest class in the history of this Normal
school, and, according to a good authority, the best. It has contributed
star men to every field of this school's athletic work. It has supported
with its presence and enthusiasm all school events-athletic, social,
literary and otherwise. It has won the Kline Cup, gaining two out of three
games from the Seniors. O, rf7
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 168
----------
It has given the Senior boys a decisive defeat in the game of basketball.
It has led the other classes in social events: First-By having a big party
and a big picnic for the class as a whole; second, by dividing the class
into groups and conducting group parties and picnics in great number
throughout the year; third, by conducting these mixers in a dignified
manner, in accordance with "Scudder's Rules of Decorum." It has given a
class party where there were more gentlemen than ladies in attendance,
thus breaking all rules of precedent in this Normal. It has given an
entertaining program in Assembly, wherein the Faculty and Seniors were so
successfully imitated that they had trouble in proving to themselves their
own identity. It has given, with great success, the stage production,
"Merely Mary Ann." We, therefore, the members of the class of '18,
appealing to the senses of justice of our readers, in the memory of these
acts, solemnly claim and declare that the Junior Class is, and ought to
be, entitled to a higher distinction than its contemporaries. FAY

Senior Class Here we come-over three hundred strong glance into this
year's history of the Senior Class not forget that we're "mighty and
strong." -to give you a so that you may Seniors we are--many returning
to complete their training after a taste of "the real thing" in teaching,
others having (lone part time in other institutions, and still others of
us who were Juniors last year. Mix the above ingredients, season well with
"pep," and you have a soul-satisfying Senior dish. The following officers
were elected for the first semester: ALBERT HENNES LouISE BUCHANAN
'VIRGINIA MATHES DENNIS TROTH - - - President - - Vice-President - - -
Secretary - - - Treasurer Looking over the list of second semester
officers we find it true that in some cases "history repeats itself" and
we are glad. ALBERT HENNES -- - ---- President ETNA SHORE - -----
Vice-President BEATRICE LONTILL ---- - Secretary DENNIS TROTH - - - - - -
- - Treasurer The Seniors had their first social function during the
Hol-lowe'en time and came appropriately and fantastically garbed for the
masquerade and entered into the jollity with a vim, forgetting their
dignity en route. The "stunts" were clever, the games ex-citing, and
delicious refreshments served in a bower of autumn leaves were duly
appreciated, likewise the graceful (lancing of some of the Senior girls.
In spite of the busy days preceding the Christmas holidays a number of
Seniors, garbed for a National Costume Party, as-sembled to enjoy another
care-free evening. The program showed all the nations to be on equal
footing, as did also the folk-dancing in the gym effectively prove the
Seniors to be incomparable lin-guists- Norwegians (lanced and conversed
with Spaniards in the easiest manner imaginable, as well as partaking of
delicious re-freshments together. Our departing Mid-Years enjoyed a
farewell banquet at the 13

Leopold. Instead of the customary formal reception tendered them by their
classmates they enjoyed an evening of globe-trot-ting and were most
efficiently directed by capable guides through winding tunnels, up hill
and down dale. They viewed the fashions of Paris, the mysteries of Egypt,
and partook of cooling refresh-ments ere they turned weary footsteps
homeward. Senior Class Day-oh, yes-we knew the faculty members were
languishing for a glimpse of themselves in their natural state. Sh! Don't
tell anyone, but did you see that ghostly line of phantomsi noiselessly
tip-toeing down the steps of numerous boarding houses in the "cold gray
dawn" of Saturday, May 5th? Those were the Senior girls starting on the
"Senior Sneak" to the tall timbers of Lake Whatcom. Did they have a good
time? Some people do ask foolish questions! Another "Sh !" for there goes
the whole Senior Class on their Senior "walkout." No gray phantoms this
time for naturally, when boys have to be taken in on a thing of that kind,
they can't be aroused ere the break of day. Worries over papers soon due
and all the maladies peculiar to Seniors were forgotten and no one had a
care except the fear that appetites might exceed supplies. But why such
idle fears-Senior "eats" committees are wise beyond their years! The
"last days" were a mad whirl of events-one splendid time after another,
headed by the President's reception to the Seniors, and succeeded by the
Junior-Senior reception, the Alum-ni banquet, Class Day, the excellent
presentation of "The Piper," and the end drawing very near. On Sunday,
May 27th, an excellent Baccalaureate address was delivered by Rev. Dike of
Tacoma. "Positively our last appearance" occurred on May 29th, when the
long-desired diplomas were presented. The speakers for the day were
President Todd of the College of Puget Sound in Ta-coma, and Virginia
Mathes, chosen by the faculty, and Louise Buchanan, chosen by the class,
to represent the Seniors. It is fitting here to voice our hearty
appreciation of the guid-ance of Miss Norton, Miss Baker, and Mr. Bever, as
our class ad-visors, and to bid our old B. S. N. S., its faculty, and
remaining students a long farewell. ~~------Li

their dramatic offering of the year, the Senior class chose a play of rare
distinction. Several years ago this play won first prize in the
Shakespeare Memorial Theatre prize contest. It has been gratifying to
American men of letters to see an American dra-matic production honored by
presentation at the birth- place of Shakespeare. "The Piper" was produced
at Stratford-on-Avon under the direction of A. E. Benson, the
distinguished English actor. In America the play was produced in lavish
fashion by the New Theatre Company in New York, with Edith Wynn Matheson
as the Piper. It has proven very popular with schools and col-leges in
recent years. "The Piper" is a poetic drama full of beautiful rythm in
ex-quisitely fashioned blank verse and splendid passion. Mrs. Marks-for
the authoress is the wife of Lionel Marks of Harvard-has taken the simple
legend of the Piper of Hamelin town, made famous by Browning, and has
built upon it a drama of significance. In her version the Piper appears as
a wandering stroller,--a creature all warmth and passion, whose mission it
is to go up and down the world's highways setting free the caged things.
He finds the Hamelin children behind the bars of Hame-lin lusts,-crushed
by the parents' sordid lives. He led them away to the cave in the hill,
not through the spirit of revenge for fail-ure to receive a thousand
guilders, but to show Hamelin folk what children mean in their lives. With
splendid passion he ar-raigns the materialists, the money-grabbers, the
ignorant fathers and gossiping mothers. The play is really a plea for
childhood and its rights. Finally the love of Veronika for her little
lame boy Jan forces the Piper to return the children. The play ends
happily in direct traditional tragedy of the Hamelin children. The play
is to be produced with a conventional setting, no change of scenery being
attempted. Neutral curtains will suggest the out-of-doors, with several
small fir trees placed conventionally to signify the forest. Incidental
music by the High School Or-chestra will lend to the enchantment of the
fairy-spell of the Piper. Beautiful effects will be worked out with
colored light at strong dramatic points in the scenes. The following
strong cast of characters shows how truly rep- resentative of the class a
play of this nature is, combining leading and minor characters, in dances
and crowd-scenes. The Piper is being produced under the stage management
of \Ir. Hoppe of the Department of Expression, whose previous successes
with difficult and elaborate drama assure an exquisite rendering. 400=

y Bean "Merely Mary Ann" was chosen by the Junior class for their play
this year. The play is one of Israel Zangwill's productions and has met
with great success. Mary Ann is a simple little coun-try girl who slaves
in a London lodging house. Lancelott, a pen-niless composer, becomes
attached to her, but is kept by his aris-tocratic pride from marrying her.
Yet when Mary Ann inherits a fortune and moves away, Lancelot still finds
in her the inspir-ation which leads him to success. The two meet again in
after years and all ends happily when Lancelot finds the wealthy and much
sought after Marion to be still at heart, Merely Mary Ann. Paul Thompson
well represented Lancelot in his fiery pride and moody despair, and Myrtle
Pugsley portrayed with wonder-ful skill the at once humorous and pathetic
Mary Ann. The humorous side of the play was kept up by Arthur Crawshaw as
the happy-go-lucky Peter, and Ruth Craig, as the landlady, who is raising
her daughter Rosie (Ruth Elander) to be a "lidy." In the last act Paul
Washke, as Lord Valentine, caused much merri- ment with his ridiculous
egotism. The minor characters, the Irish O'Gormans, and the flirtatious
Trippitt sisters, who lodge at Mrs. Leadbetter's; the Rev. Samuel Smedge;
Lady Chalmer, Marion's patroness, and her guests; and Howard, the
proverbial, immobile footman, were all well acted. Last, but not least, is
Dick, Mary Ann's canary, who keeps her from being too lonely in her
lodging-house days.

HOUSE NEXT DOORn CAST "THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR" Which Thespian starred in
this production? To tell the truth, Mr. Hoppe made such apt selection of
the cast that everybody starred, making it exceedingly difficult to
commend any one par-ticular person. The auditorium was crowded on the
date of the performance, March 3rd, and the audience heartily expressed
its appreciation. From every possible viewpoint "The House Next Door" was
a suc-cess and the Thespian Dramatic Club gained eminence thereby. Will
Beardslee, as Sir John Cotswold, the English nobleman, who had come down
in the world financially, but had retained ever iota of his original
pride, sustained the heavy character work. His conception was so realistic
that many were heard to exclaim, "I'll bet Red won't talk above a whisper
on Monday!" His beneficent enemy, Sir Isaac Jacobson, played by Charles
Leber, occasioned Sir John as much displeasure as he occasioned pleasure
for the audience. This somewhat idealistic characteriza- tion of the Jew
was made very attractive by Mr. Leber. E£ t
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 229
----------
The four young people of the rival houses, English and Jew, were
vivaciously played by the Misses Armstrong and Christen-son, Messrs.
Anstett and Thompson. These young people occu-pied the stage much of the
time, but they and their love tangles were intensely interesting from
beginning to end. Lady Cotswold and Lady Jacobson, played by Misses Hansen
and Layton, gave glimpses of the domineered and domineering types of
woman. Both characters were well rendered. Comedy was supplied at
intervals by Walter Lewis, operatic agent (a la Reuben Wagner), by Capt.
Clive Trevor, exceedingly English, "doncher know," (John Miller), by
Vining and Maxmilian, merely servants, (Clare Altman and Elwood Dairs). A
mere sight of the "Presbyterian," who was a "Jew at heart," and the
degen-erate and brainless Trevor were sufficient to provoke laughter. The
varied trials of the butler class were conclusively but patiently exhibited
in Vining and Maxmilian. The cast in its entirety was as follows: Sir

Sulr'n it's a foin pot of broth ALETHEIAN-PHILOMATHEAN PLAYS On the
evening of Saturday, March 31st the Philomathean and the Aletheian
Literary Societies presented three one-act plays on the Normal Auditorium
stage. Students and the public were admitted free of charge. The plays
were chosen for their simplicity and variety. The first was "A Pot of
Broth," by W. B. Yeats, an exceedingly fanciful and rollicking Irish
comedy. The second was "A Bright Morning," by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez
Quintero; a recent translation from the Spanish, and made up of sparkling
lines. The last was "Thieves," by Glenn Hughes; a dramatic sketch laid in
the tene-ment district of an American city. In the production of these
plays no attempt was made at elab-orate scenery, informality and
suggestion were considered more appropriate in this particular case. On the
whole, the acting was very good. The most difficult, and perhaps the most
successful, characterization was accomplished by Miss Berniece Welch in
the role of Annie, the old news-vender, in "Thieves." The part re-
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 231
----------
quired an artistic conception as well as intensity of playing, and Miss
Welch lived up to both these requirements. Of an entirely different nature
was the character of Sibby Coneely in "A Pot of Broth," and this Miss
Mabel Smith portrayed with delightful spirit and feeling. Miss Jennie
Olson and Miss Mildred Bozorth played the women characters in "A Bright
Morning," and were delightfully vivacious and spontaneous. Miss Olsen had
an un-commonly difficult task as Dona Laura, the chic little dowager who
lied so gracefully and flirted so quaintly. The out-standing man's role
was that of Don Gonzalo in "A Bright Morning." Albert Booman interpreted
this irritable and loveable old gentleman with exquisite skill and
appreciation. Roy Bean proved a very attractive and picturesque beggar in
"A Pot of Broth," and John Estes played him a good second as the
whimsical and stupid John Coneely. Bert Foster and Smith Carleton handled
the principal men's parts in "Thieves," and "It's just a little kid that
ran away from home"
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 232
----------
hoth characters stood out as clear-cut conceptions. Foster was
well-suppressed in his heavy-man work, and Carleton showed the proper
reserve and poise for a refined juvenile man. Other minor parts were
acceptably taken by Herbert Davis, Reuben Alm, Her-bert Potter, and Miss
Miriam Sherman. The performance was given under the direction of Mr. Glenn
Hughes, who came to B. S. N. S. from the Forest theatre at Carmel-by-
the-Sea, and has won enthusiastic thanks from the student body as a whole,
to say nothing of the Philo-Aletheian group. H. S. SENIOR CLASS PLAYS
Remember ye Friday night, April 20? Well, rather! For then the Seniors of
the B. S. N. S. High School gave their class plays, "Pygmalion and
Galatea," and "A Proposal Under Diffi-culties." The casts were "all-star"
and hence, under the direction of the "famous" stage-directors, Foster and
King, attained a "right" good performance. The cast for "Pygmalion and
Ga-latea" was: Pygmalion, an Athenian sculptor.......Kenneth Selby
Galatea, an animated statue........Gertrude Kaufman Agesimos, a slave to
Chrysos .............................. Kenneth Tunstall Chrysos, art

............. M rs. K in g All sorts of enthusiasm was put into the
plays, that they might be a success; not so much for the players' glory as
for that of our principal, Mr. Parrish. There was a good house and all
went well, except for a few slips, and for Mr. Foster's continuous calls
of "Louder!" "Slower!" and "Wait 'till they're through laughing." The
costumes were pretty, the make-up fetching, due to Mr. Hughes. We thank
him and also our present property manager, Gladys Day. At the drop of the
curtain we drew a deep breath, prepared ourselves to be "took" by Mr.
Philippi, and repaired, one and all, to Kenneth Selby's home where he
received us ere IIOo ur troupe should be dissolved. _

Nobody asked you to speak "PR UNELLA" On the evening of 'May 12th, in the
Assembly Hall, the Alki- siah Literary Society presented the poetical
play, "Prunella," by Laurence Housman and Granville Barker. The
production was novel for several reasons. In the first place, the cast was
composed entirely of girls. Fortunately, the characters of the play are
all fanciful enough that this substitu-tion of sex was not ludicrous, and,
if anything, heightened the delicacy of the scenes. "Prunella" has a
quaint, high- walled Dutch garden for its setting, and this was reproduced
on the local stage with as ef-fective illusions as the equipment would
allow. The colors of the decorations and the costumes showed taste and
careful planning. The story of the play is a charming one. Pierrot, the
tradi-tional hero of pantomime, falls in love with Prunella, a sheltered
flower of a girl, who lives with her three aunts, Prim, Prude, and
Privacy, and the band of mummers, followers of Pierrot, rollick about the
sedate and proper garden until they captivate the heart

That somebody ought to be you' of the unworldly-wise Prunella. At night,
in the quiet moon-light, with the aid of the conventional, but necessary
ladder, the elopement is effected. Three years later the garden is shown
again; this time it is deserted. The aunts are dead, vines have overgrown
the walls, the statue of Love is weather-worn, and in the midst of this
chaos, Pierrot returns, and sad at heart, and strangely meditative. He is
looking for Prunella, whom he deserted after a year of married life, for
he has found that "his heart has become bad company for him"-a heretofore
unknown experience for this wandering, foot- loose, lover of all the
world. In his despair he cries out, and the statue of Love mocks him,
upbraiding him for his selfish-ness, and advising that he call for
Pierrette-as he has named Prunella-not for the sake of vanity, but out of
his soul and from the anguish of his heart. In the meantime Prunella has
wandered back, weary, de-spondent, only to find herself forgotten by her
friends, and with-out a home, for Pierrot has bought the place in memory
of her. They find each other in the garden where they first met and
----------
Klipsun, 1917 - Page 236
----------
talked of love in the still moonlight when the birds were singing. Pierrot
begs for forgiveness, and believes for a time that Pierrette is a spirit
come to torment him. But she convinces him of her reality by taking him in
her arms in an embrace that lifts him up to a new realization of love and
sacrifice. Once more, as they stand thus, though the garden is in ruins,
and though their two lives lie marred behind them, the air grows sweet
with perfume, and the birds, awaking in the night, sing even more sweetly
than they had ever sung before, because now their song was made rich by
sorrow. Miss Elizabeth Moore played the part of Prunella, and Miss Mary
Donald was Pierrot. Both these characters were interpreted with delightful
delicacy, and the twenty other members of the Alkisiahs who supported them
contributed spirit and atmosphere throughout the play. The production was
directed by Mr. Glenn Hughes. 0 C Y 1 1C3

Editor's Shop Talk The time and effort necessary to issue an annual will
not be generally appreciated. Much work must be crowded into a few busy
days already full to overflowing with school duties and the labors
incident to the closing of the year and graduation. No doubt there is room
for improvement in this edition of Klipsun, but your criticism should be
tempered by these circumstances. The success of this edition of the
Klipsun is in no small degree due to the artistic engravings, the work of
the Western Engraving and Colortype Company of Seattle; the Brown Studio
of Bellingham, and the Union Printing, Bind-ing Stationery Company of
Bellingham. Special mention should be made of Mr. C. S. Beard, man-ager,
and Mr. Frank H. Barnett, foreman of the composing room of the Union
Printing, Binding Stationery Company. I sincerely hope that the Klipsun
of 1917 will carry a pleasing message to each member of the Senior Class
and its other readers. BERNIECE WELCH, Editor. DE

Handwriting The Palmer Method has become the standard throughout America,
be-cause it produces satisfactory results. St. Paul, Minn., installed the
Palmer Method in her entire school system last September. The Palmer
Method had already "made good" in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
and scores of other big cities. We reach the Pupil through the Teacher.
We increase the Teacher's market value, and diminish her labor. There are
many thousands of grate-ful teachers throughout the United States, to whom
the Palmer method has spelled Opportunity and Success. The remarkable
growth of the business of The A. N. Palmer Company indicates, indubitably,
that Public School Officials appreciate our unlimited ability to teach
teachers the mechanics and pedagogy of common-sense, serviceable
handwriting. The Palmer Method self-teaching Manual, single copy, 25c
