THIS IS OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE TO GRADUATES The policy of this school is
to always keep in touch with its grad-uates and former students so as to
be of assistance to them whenever needed. The Normal Book Store, being a
part of this institution, also desires to keep in touch with its patrons
and has this proposition to make: To those of you who will be located in
places where it will be im-possible for you to get many of the things
needed in teaching we will agree to fill any order sent us providing we
have the goods in stock and providing cash is sent to cover. You are all
more or less familiar with our prices, so in making your remittances
please send enough to cover the article or articles, together with the
postage. If there is anything left we will return the balance to you or
give you credit for same. Those of you who are located handy to regular
dealers, we advise that you buy of them. It is not our desire to secure
business that right-fully belongs to them. NORMAL BOOK STORE C. C.

Somewhere in France Sunset lingered on that day To rise again in the
east, And it wove a shroud of sombre ray To encircle our nation's peace,
Everlasting peace we had hoped. Now the sunbeams spread apart again,
Opening a nation's heart of pain, Roused by the voices from afar Made
helpless by a maddening war, And off to France a mighty throng, Leaving
behind in each heart a thorn. Spirit of love, spirit of peace Cheer you
onward to that release, Honor and justice within your power Over here we
await the hour Of your return-our nation's joys, Loving angels watch o'er
you-God save you boys.

School Spirit In every institution there comes after a time an indefinable
something which is known as school spirit. The school spirit is not an
artificial loyalty, but it is the very soul of the institution which
permeates the life of every in-dividual. It is the heart or essence of the
school, which breathes life into its foster children, leaving an imprint
which becomes in them a power not only for today or tomorrow, but for
time to come. The Washington State Normal School as its name implies is a
school' whose purpose is to train teachers that they may efficiently lead
others to ful-fill their missions in life. It does not forget that
spiritual influence is the vital force of every life. School life does
not consist alone of the study of books and professional methods but of an
enthusiastic ambition, co-operative activity, for the inti-mate and
splendid fellowship and, greatest of all, the pervading atmosphere of the
spirit of democracy.

Rainr on Oreas By GLENN HU(;HES Rain in the islands, With the black
clouds flying. And the fast faint spots of sunlight fading on the sea.
Changing, hurrying, shifting of shadows, And the high grey fan of
rain-streaks in the east. Darker, darker, With the wind rising and
falling more loudly in the trees, The waves' slap sounding stronger and
quicker on the sand, Where the drift-wood, Sad, spent, weather- weary
travelers of the deep, Lie grimly, white and naked to the rain. When it
shall come. Swift whirr of the branches. An audible sigh. as from the
heavens. A closing in of shadows, And the parting flicker of white light:
Spatter on the rocks, Steady settling-down of the ominous grey-blackness.
A strange earth- murmur of languid resignation: From the ferns And the
hill-flowers A soft and sleepy rustle, As of gratified desire, And
then---the rain- the rain

Every new era brings to us a new need and a new ideal. This period of -war
through which we are passing is no exception. It is forcing upon us with
ever increasing emphasis a new ideal for citizenship. The outcome of the
war seems to revolve itself largely into a question of efficiency,-the
ef-ficiency of democracy versus autocracy. We are placing the burden of
the deadly efficiency of Germany on her educational system, and there can
be no doubt that the burden of our own efficiency or the lack of it, will
ulti-mately fall back on our own educational system. Before the war had
fairly begun in Europe we felt a tightening of the lines in our own
curriculum. People began to cry for the elimination of non-essentials, the
emphasis of those subjects that tended toward an efficient, loyal
citizenship. Perhaps the art department has felt the change more than any
other. In our art teaching we have had to give up art for art's sake and
take up art for life's sake. We no longer believe that beauty is its sole
excuse for being, because we have added a demand for usefulness, and we
say, with Kenyon ,Cox, that the highest aim of art is to make some useful
thing beautiful. ,TIhis has meant taking art out of the hands of a few and
placing it in the hands of everyone who wants it and needs it. And who
does not want and need it? Art in its new development has become the most
universal and demo-cratic of our modes of expression. The man choosing a
letter head for his business, the woman arranging the furniture of a room
or choosing trimming for a dress, the child thinking about the arrangement
of an arithmetic paper, the poet describing a sunset--one and all,
consciously or unconsciously, ex-ercise the art faculty. It is this
development of judgment, of choosing one thing in preference to another,
of weighing one thing against another, that makes art teaching of such
value in the development of a democratic citizen-ship. It is our business
as art teachers to develop the principles which under-lie all good
judgment. We must establish a standard which any child may use, and give
to all who come to us a better and nobler vision of what life in its
fullness ought to be.

ntuhin Art (lub The Studio Art Club was organized in 1916 in response to
the demand for an organization whose purpose it was to develop
appreciation and knowl-edge of art in various phases. Under the efficient
guidance of Miss Druse this aim has been fulfilled to a wonderful degree.
In order to cover as wide a field as possible the work of the club has
changed with each quarter of the current school year. The first quarter was
devoted to the study of charcoal as a medium. The work of the second
quarter took up costuming designing and interior decoration. During
December the various painters of the nativity were studied and formed the
basis of the pro-gram for the Christmas meeting of the club. The work of
the third quarter began with the study of-art appreciation and took up
especially the study of landscape. This included not only the study of
representative landscape ar-tists but also the making of original
landscapes in various mediums. The last quarter took up the study of
applied and commercial designs. This included the study of design
principles, the suitability of the design to its purpose, and the actual
application of the design to the various articles, such as boxes,
textiles, hand-woven materials and rugs. The posters made by the club for
various school activities have received an unusual amount of comment. The
most practical evidence of this lies in the fact that some of the business
men of the city have offered their poster work to the club, all posters
so made to be paid for at the usual rates. The club has had interests
outside of its splendid work program. Its Valentine party, held at the
home of Miss Druse, will go down in the history of the club as one of the
prettiest, best-planned and best-managed affair of the school year. The
programs have included a social hour which gave the girls a splen-did
opportunity for more intimate acquaintanceship. As a part of the club work
the girls took charge of the teas given in connection with the art
exhibits. Taken altogether the year has been a pleasant and profitable one
for the club. It has deepened the interests for all its members in the art
field and many have decided to make some line of art a subject for more
extensive study. OFFICERS. First Semester- [President ...........

01r Art TEi-itb It was this democratic tendency of art that struck one
most forcibly in the exhibits held under the efficient supervision of Miss
Druse and her as-sistants, Miss Boring, Miss Milne and Miss Smith. There
was no lack of the more traditional phases of art teaching, but naturally
it was the newer fea-tures that caught and held the attention. One of
these new features was that of toy making, which used thin wood, coping
saw and oil paints. This section attracted particular attention from the
leaders and workers in schools, because of the opportunity it of-fers for
hand work that is worth while, and yet does not require expensive
equipment. Each pattern was original and there were more than one hundred
varities. The types of patterns easily available include animals and birds,
Mother Goose figures, historic figures, such as the Quaker, and industrial
fig-ures. The types of projects to be developed include toys made on a
base or on wheels, jointed toys, furniture, book racks and window boxes.
Another feature was a village street, showing the various buildings to be
found there-the church, the school, the butcher, the baker, the blacksmith,
the pstoffice, and other buildings typical of village life. The interiors
were complete to the last detail, not even the flowers on the teacher's
desk in the school house being omitted, let alone the Hoover signs in the
stores. The making of this problem involved the use of every bit of
ingenuity and re-sourcefulness the class could muster. It involved a study
of rural condi-tions, buildings and industries. It was a problem in
geography, sociology, history, arithmetic, drawing, construction and
painting rolled into one. An entirely different class of work was that
found in the weaving sec-tion. During the year a number of pattern looms
and a large rug loom had been added to the equipment of the department.
The teaching of the weaving-process is begun in the first grade of the
Training School, in the weaving of paper mats, and continued thru the work
of the various grades until it cul-- minates in the work done on the large
commercial looms. On these looms the student learns the process of warp
stringing, of making a piece of cloth or a rug, and of weaving a pattern.
The products turned out included rugs, table runners, pillow tops and
bags. Other phases of the exhibit might be taken up, but enough has been
said to show that the art department has worked consistently to make its
courses varied and broad enough to give the student a fair foundation on
which to build a reasonable standard of appreciation and judgment as well
as a reason-able skill of execution.

WILLIAM EDSON Editor-in-chief of WVeekly Messenger
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 87
----------
When the Messenger was first published in 1901, it was an attractive
little paper in magazine form containing news of the school, short stories,
ac-tivities of the clubs, athletics, and social affairs. For the mid-year
and May Seniors a larger Messenger was printed containing pictures and
special ac-tivities. The demands for the school magazine became so numerous
and frequent that it was decided to publish the Messenger every week.
Since that time it has served the students as a weekly school newspaper,
telling the news and doings of the student body and faculty, giving short
stories and especially has it enabled the student body to keep in touch
with our alumni, hundreds of whom are reading the Messenger each week.
Its continued success has been due to the untiring efforts of its editors
and staff, the faithful and efficient work of Miss Edens as literary
critic, the loyal support of the student body, and the business men of the
city, who have so generously advertised. The Klipsun, the name given to
the annual that is published by the Sen-ior Class each year, was first
published by the class of 1913. It was the aim of the graduating classes
of 1918 to make this Klipsun bigger and better than any that have preceded
and the result is the patriotic edition which you hold in your hand. Thru
the efforts of Miss Cummins, The Junior was published by the students of
the Training School for the first time in the fall of 1916. The material
was furnished by students representing each grade and the printing was
done by the seventh and eighth grade boys, in connection with their Manual
Training work. The Junior is now a semi- annual paper. The first one
printed this year was published entirely by the seventh and eighth grade
students. It has furnished an inspiration to the teachers and students
alike, for there is no greater honor for work well done than to have it
printed in The Junior.

OROTORIO SOCIETY The Oratorio Society, which was organized after the
beginning of school in September, has been under the able supervision of
Mrs. Thatcher, doing some very excellent and beneficial work. The mixed
chorus has been meeting for practice every Monday evening. All the members
have worked with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest. Our first work
began with a rehearsing of several extracts from the great Oratorios.
After mastering these, with the assistance of Mrs. Nash, Mrs. Spratley
and Mr. Harrison T. Raymond, the annual concert was success-fully given on
December 15th. PROGRAM OF ORATORIO CONCERT. Chorus, Gloria in Excelsis;

THE LADIES' QUARTET The Ladies Quartet was organized by Mrs. Thatcher
during the winter of 1917- 1918. It has been assisted several times by
Edith Hendrickson and Eva McAbee, to whom the quartet is much indebted as
it is also to Edith Miller, accompanist. The quartet has provided musical
entertainments in programs at the Normal and other places, and have been
very successful in their desire to entertain. The members are: Frances
Ireland, first soprano; Nellie Dick, second soprano; Alberta Getsman, first
alto; Lillian Foss, second alto.

CHORAL CLUB Under the directorship of Mrs. Thatcher the Choral Club spent
a very pleasant and profitable year. The enrolled numbered about seventy.
The club met every \Vednesday. A concert was given one evening in which
old home songs and patriotic numbers, solos, quartets, semi-choruses and
full choruses were sung. Many members of the club are singing in the
various churches of the city. The club is grateful to Mrs. Thatcher, not
only for her competent leader-ship, but also for her kind attitude which
added much to the pleasure of the work. The officers for the year were:

H. M. S. PINAFORE The Oratorio Chorus presented the opera "H. M. S.
Pinafore," or "The Lass That Loved a Sailor," under the direction of
Martin E. Robinson on the evening of March 16th. The opera revolved about
the love of the captain's daughter. Sir Joseph Porter, the Lord of the
Seas, wishes to marry Josephine, but she loves Ralph Rackstran, the common
sailor. Josephine and Ralph plan to elope, but are betrayed by Dick
Deadeye. The captain swears at Ralph and is overheard by Sir Joseph who
sends him to his cabin in disgrace. But when Sir Joseph learns the cause
of the captain's words he sends Ralph to the dungeon. At this state of
affairs Buttercup tells that in her girlhood she took care of two little
boys whose identity she exchanged. The one is the captain of the ship, the
other, Ralph. Sir Joseph is then ready to let Josephine marry Ralph while
Hebe, his cousin, proves ample consolation. The captain in turn finds that
he has always loved his foster-mother, "Buttercup." The parts were very
well sung and acted while the chorus also deserves much praise. Rainhardt
Hanson as Sir Joseph, and Willard Yerkes as Cap-tain Corcoran, were
dignified as their positions required. The common sail-or, Ralph Rackstraw,
aroused pity and admiration in his sorry plight, as acted by Leslie
Sorensen. Mr. Holbrook, as Dick Deadeye, Mr. Washke, as Boatswain, and Mr.
Edson, as Sing Woe, supplied the humor. Josephine, the captain's daughter,
was well sung by Lillian Schoenberg. No one could be angry with Buttercup
(Alberta Getsman) even after her astounding confession. Hebe was clever
and skillful in consoling Sir Jos-eph and showed good acting by Carolyn
Hammond. THE CAST. Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, K. C. B ...........

Our Distinguished Visitors On January Eight Dr. Edward A. Steiner, Head of
the department of applied Christianity, Iowa college, delivered his
inspiring lecture on "The Challenge of the American Spirit." Dr. Steiner
is one of the most popular authors, educators and lecturers of the day.
Famous of his works are "On the Trail of the Immigrant," "The Russian
Revolution," "Anarchy, Its Causes and Cures," and "Tolstoi, the Man and
His Message." Dr. Steiner has close acquaintanceship with the foremost
people of nearly every nation of the globe. Because of extensive travel
and careful study, he is considered an authority on present day problems
and as such is made the target for many questions concerning the outcome
of the war, but to all such queries his response is that the future is a
sealed book. He did say, however, that never before had there been a
cleaner set of men in the cantonments under the stars And strips than
there are today. Dr. Steiner emphasized that the determining factor of an
American is not that he was born here, but that he was born again after he
came here. It is spirit rather than blood. The two factors which make a
nation hold its people are its language and its history. This country is
destined to be arn English speaking nation. Its language has remained
triumphant, even creep-ing into the speech of foreigners. America is a
history of people rather than a history of kings or dynasties. Dr.
Steiner, tho born in Austria, is a true American, and says he would shed
the last drop of his blood to prove it. REV. JAMES A. BURNS One of the
rare treats of this year was the lecture given by James A. Burns. "Burns
of the Mountains," as he is lovingly called, stood before us that evening
and as we looked as his tall, gaunt figure and listened to his slow spoken
words, we thought of the hardships of poverty and the struggle for a great
cause, thru which he had passed, up until the time, and even since he
became the founder and president of the Oneida Institute. "Burns of the
Mountains" told us in his simple manner the story of his own life, how
before he found his mission in life he had been a bitter partici-pant in
the mountain feuds in Kentucky. When God spoke to him he heard and he went
to work with a zeal to educate his people. From its humble be-ginning in
1889, the Oneida Institute now has an enrollment of five hundred students,
the limit which can be accommodated. Today in that lonely place in the
heart of the Cumberland Mountains, forty miles from any railroad is a
school with property valued at over $100,000, four fine buildings, a twelve
hundred acre farm, a saw mill and a wood working shop. A little community
of three hundred people has grown up around the campus and for beauty of
surroundings it can be hardly equalled. Some of the first graduates are the
pillars of the institution today, and are so devoted to their work that
they have refused much more renumerative positions offered them by schools
of higher education. The graduates take with them the Christian spirit of
the school and remain loyal to their training. Burns is a man of
broad-vision and a man of prayer. There have been many hard days for Burns
and his people but his implicit faith in the Good God above has helped him
to surmount every obstacle. Though he is com-pelled to spend so much time
away from Oneida, seeking funds for its sup- port, we know that his heart
is with his students at all times. The sim-plicity, sweetness and force of
this unique character left an impression and an inspiration to do with a
vim, the work before us.

JOHN MASEFIELD While not on our lyceum course, John Masefield was brought
to Belling-ham largely thru the efforts of our English Department, and the
privilege of hearing him was considered by the students one of, if not the
most, important event of its kind during the year. DR. SLOAN. Out of his
rich experience as a teacher and editor, Dr. Sloan, of Colum-bia
University, brought a timely message to us. He spoke on "Democracy," And
said that if there ever was a holy war it is the one we are now in and that
we are forced into it without desiring it. He says we have to learn to
think in order to realize that we are fighting side by side with other
types of democracy, just as enthusiastic, as determined as we are. He
explained that much-used term, saying that democracy is a state of mind,
which primarily shows itself in every individualistic expression of will,
but the real individ-ualistic person is the one who throws himself, body
and soul, into the co-op-eration of his fellows for the welfare of all. He
said our diplomats of the fu-ture must know the ruling iassion of Europe,
must know the man as it was before the war and as it will be after. He
urged us to abandon our narrow ideas of a democrat and to try to think
somewhat as an Englishman, a French-man, or a citizen of other great
democracies. He said that we must get in touch with the aspirations of
other great democracies of the universe and re-nounce some of the pride we
have in our own country that we may share the pride of other countries.
It is up to us to set the example of kindliness, help-fulness and
furtherance of equality among men, to those who are striving to be
democratic. DR. CONWELL While 1918 was still young and in the
resolution-forming period, the most popular lecturer in the world today
came with his message which has harn-essed rivers, built bridges,
irrigated deserts and supplied weary hearts with new dynamos. This
lecture, "Acres of Diamonds," which is one of his seven that have met
with almost incredible popularity, was delivered for the five thousand six
hundred and ninety-fifth time. "Acres of Diamonds" drives home like a
mallet the fact that success is as likely to be found in our own back yard
as any place else in the world. One of his numerous illustrations was the
true story of a man who spent years studying oil, until "he knew all about
oil" so that he could go into the oil fields of Canada and make his
fortune. He sold his little farm in Pennsylvania for eight hundred and
thirty three dollars and no cents (no sense). Shortly after he left, his
successor noted on the little brook in the field a scum which for years had
been held back, so that the cattle would drink the water. Investigation
proved it to be an oil well whose flow had been dammed for years by the
man who "knew all about oil." Today it is worth millions of dollars, but
the oil expert sold it for eight hundred and thirty-three dollars and
again he said "no sense."
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 106
----------
Dr. Conwell is a man who has made a science of success. He says that
wherever there is a human need there is a great fortune. He showed how
the cotton gin, the dustless crayon, the sewing machine, the safety pin,
the incubator and many inventions which are indispensable to us now, came
on the scene of activity when some person recognized in his homely
surround-ings a demand to be filled. Dr. Conwell is a miracle of
achievement. In 1876 he started a definite program of donation and for
forty years has followed that vision, helping over three thousand young
men to win success. However, each must first show an effort and
earnestness, for Mr. Conwell helps only those who first help themselves.
Altho seventy years of age, he presents a striking ap-pearance. He is tall
and powerful and when he grips your hand looks you in the eye, and voices
that old statement: "You can do what you will." You cannot help but
believe it. He inspires you with a fresh determination to strive on and on
and on. HENRI SCOTT A very delightful and brilliant number of the lyceum
course was given, by Henri Scott, the bass baritone of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, ac-companied by Arville Belstad. Mr. Scott had a commanding
presence and a physique that goes well with a soloist. His voice was
melodious, expressive, and excellently trained. His enunciation was so
clear that each word re-sounded throughout the hall. All of his numbers
were enjoyed, but perhaps, "A Little Winding Road" and "The Siege of
Kazan" will linger longest in our memories. DR. ARTHUR WALWIN EVANS Dr.
Arthur Walwin Evans, the nephew of David Lloyd George, told us his
impressions of America in a lecture entitled "What America Means to Me."
Dr. Evans came to America to take the pulpit formerly occupied by
the-distinguished author and preacher, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, at
Springfield, Ohio. Here his work attracted the attention of the Lyceum
Bureau and calls for his service became so insistent that he resigned his
pastorate to devote his entire time to lecturing. In the past four years
he has filled almost one-thousand and two hundred engagements. Dr. Evans,
who is commonly known as the Welsh wit and humorist, was not long in
proving to us that this title was approriately chosen. His lecture bubbled
with humor, which spared neither English, French, American, king nor
pauper. In one of his striking witticisms he said in reference to the
English form of government, "Surely we have a king over there, but who
pays any attention to him? Of course he signs the papers. We use him in
place of a rubber stamp." Thus we saw that altho the element of fun
predominated, his points were well taken. He left with his audience food
for reflection. With the intense illustrations he pictured for us the
spirit of every nation of the globe; America meant not democracy nor
liberty, but fraternity. The common people everywhere are hungering for
wider opportunities to live and this can be accomplished only thru
fraternalism or universal brotherhood, which must come in order to save
the world from monarchy. For this reason, after having traveled
extensively, Dr. Evanrs has chosen America for his home. i)1,

PROF. M. V. O'SHEA Dr. M. V. O'Shea, of the University of Wisconsin,
author of several books on psychology, spoke to us of the "Mental
Development Needed in War Times." Among the important things he said:
"The world is likely to slip back into darkness during the war. If the war
were to stop today this would be the condition in England and possibly in
Germany. The exigencies of their war-fare have taken the school teachers,
leaving the public practically disinter-gated. The same situation
confronts the United States. Twenty per cent of the educators are employed
in patriotic occupations, which makes the cer-tification of untrained
teachers necessary in many sections of the country. France and England
have recognized their danger and are impressing upon their people the
patriotism of school work and the training of children after the war. The
United States must also recognize this. The twenty per cent of teachers
who leave the school room during the time of war to carry on Red Cross,
factory, and various other lines of work, will remain away when the war is
over. They will become established in their lines and will to an extent
forget the training which the school room demands. This means that the
children of the nations, upon whom the future depends, lacking trained
instructors, will not receive the degree of education otherwise possible.
The Government should recognize the importance of teaching and exclude the
teachers from the draft. "From somewhere must come a supply to take the
place of those who are being killed in Europe at the present time and to
fill the demand that the future will hold, whether it still be upon the
battlefield or at home. Chem-ists, mechanical, constructive, and civil
engineers should also be conserved in all colleges for they will be needed
in the work of reconstruction." 107

EXTENSION That Bellingham Normal believes in letting her light shine in
all parts of the state where teachers have gone from under her
guardianship has been abundantly proven by the excellent quality of work
carried on this year by the extension department. The slogan for this
year's work has been effic- iency and community service. The extension
work of this school falls into five divisions which are: ex- tension
classes, correspondence work, extension lecture courses given by the
faculty, field work, and institute lectures. Excellent developments have
taken place in the organization of extension classes, which promises much
for the future. In order that work of this na-ture be divided evenly
between the three Normal schools, the state legislature of this year voted
that the state be evenly divided for extension purposes. The state Board
of Education then so divided it that the district for this school should
be the city of Seattle and the countries around the Sound with the
ex-ception of King and Pierce counties. Extension classes have been
organized in various parts of this section principally at Seattle and at
Bellingham. A teacher goes from the Normal School as often as once a week
to meet these several classes and gives double periods in actual class
work. Courses given in this way are sociology, psychology, child study,
principles of education, and practice teaching for teachers. For the
practice teaching service credit is giv-en and for the other work the same
credit is given that is received for resident work of the same kind. The
extension lecture courses are igiven in communities from whom re- quest
comes for lectures. These have been given in several parts of several
counties, viz, Klickitat, Island, King and Whatcom. These courses are well
received in the various communities where they have been given, and the
out-look is favorable for another year. Those teachers engaged in giving
the lec-tures this year have been Mr. Parish, Mr. Klemme, and Mr. Hoppe.
Large numbers of teachers in all parts of the state are engaged in
cor-respondence work with the Normal school. A large number of courses are
given through the mails by many members of the faculty. These courses are
largely duplicate of the regular residence class work, and the same credit
is given for the satisfactory completion of them. Bellingham Normal school
has been a pioneer in correspondence work, having had large courses in
this field up to and including the present time. New courses have been
added from time to time as the need arises. The Bellingham Normal is
organized with the view of keeping in touch with her students in service.
This is done by visiting the communities where they teach. A large portion
of this work has been carried on by Mr. Klemme this year. Aside from
these four fields of extension the faculty has also stood ready to supply
various institute lectures. A great many of the faculty were busy this
fall speaking before large bodies of teachers. Members of the faculty
have also, on various occasions, delivered com- mencement addresses in the
High schools. 108

Twenty-five years ago the citizens of Bellingham were anxiously await-ing
the decision as to where in the county the new state Normal School was to
be located. On Feb. 19, 1893, the newspaper enlightened them with these
words: "Now that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and
Longtry Point, on Lake Whatcom, are mentioned as desirable locations for a
site." However when two companies gave ten acres of land at the pres-ent
site all other locations were forgotten. In 1896 the first building was
erect-ed at a cost of about $45,000. The school opened its doors to
students on Sept. 6, 1899. The faculty thot that if one hundred students
attended this would be a flourishing "Institution of Higher Learning."
They were made glad the first year by the presence of three hundred and
forty-nine seekers after knowl-edge. The first assembly room was rather
small, being a part of what is at pres-ent the library, so when
commencement time came the exercises were held in the Bellingham Theatre
in Old Whatcom. The first office of the president was the room which Mr.
Bever now uses as an office. The present offices were used as recitation
rooms for the "large" classes. The one large ivy-clad stump upon our
beautiful campus acts as a re-minder that in the early days there were
twenty-four such gems, set in a squashy, mosquito-inhabited swamp which
lay between the knoll and the Normal building. The east end of Sehome
Hill was excavated and this swamp filled in. At that time there were not
many trees on the hill and those few stragglers which were striving to
cling to the steep sides were only four or five feet tall. From a small
beginning has grown our present institution. The training school building
was added in 1901; Eden's Hall in 1905; science an-nex in 1907; the manual
training shop and an additional annex to the training school in 1913.

Dr. G. W. Nash became the head of the Normal in 1914. Under his di-rection
each department has steadily improved until our school has recog-nition
throughout the entire United States. It is the purpose of Dr. Nash to keep
the school abreast of the times and we have even been told by visitors
that we are in advance of many schools of high standard. By his untiring
efforts courses are now offered that attract students from all parts of the
state and other states as well. The result is seen in the large student
body. The unsightly trails and stumps have disappeared from the campus and
a beautiful and well kept lawn has developed in which all the students
take a pride. This year a newly installed and adequate heating plant has
been in-stalled. On account of the war other improvements that Dr. Nash
had planned for the benefit of the students, have been indefinitely
postponed. 115

DEBATE AND ORATORY At the beginning of the year the prospects for debate
and oratorical work - were very bright. A movement was started for forming
a school debating team to challenge other schools of equal standing. But
owing to the excep-tional conditions of the year that hope was not
realized. But the debating spirit was not quenched so easily. A
round-table discussion class was organ-ized with Professor Bever as
sponsor, for the puprose of developing freedom and ease in the
presentation of views and a closer examination and analysis of world
movements. The first meeting opened with a heated discussion of the
Russian situation. After Mr. Alm had led off, arguments flew thick and
fast between Tucker, Webster, Scott and Booman on one side and Holbrook,
Johnson, Broadbent and Montag on the other. Finally the decision was
reached that material aid might be expected from Russia, but at subsequent
meetings the idea was disproved. Questions of parliamentary law and social
principles, such as govern-ment ownership and compulsory military
training, were warmly contested, making a fair division of the honors in
favor of both sides of all questions. At the beginning of the last quarter
the tryout for the Junior-Senior ora-torical contest was held. The
successful candidates, from a very represent-ative group, were, for the
Juniors. Misses Zehla and Farrington and Mr. Kabett, and for the Seniors,
Miss Merchant and Messrs. Holbrook and Boom-an. The old scheme of holding
a declamatory and extemporaneous contest together with a debate was
abandoned and only a debate was recognized. De- clamers and readers would
be cared for in the various dramatic courses offered. The tryout was based
on the question of military training in high schools. The question decided
upon for the final debate was, Resolved, that: Japanese in-tervention in
Siberia is beneficial to the Allied cause. After it had been de- cided
that the Juniors should represent the negative, considerable enthus- 'iasm
was displayed in regard to the statement of the question. After much
parleying the above proposition received the stamp of approval of both
sides. The arguments in the final debate dealt largely with the moral,
economic, mil-itary and political advantages and disadvantages of
intervention. The Jun-iors' flashing arguments and brilliant play on
technicalities overcame in the final debate the Seniors' maturer
experience and depth of thought. The debating season ended with general
satisfaction for all 117

SOUL OF AMERICA Oh Thou, who stretches forth thy mighty arm Across the
troubled angry sea; Who sendest forth thy bravest and thy best, In the
name of sweet democracy. I love thy every inch of fertile soil, Thy soul
of liberty. Oh towering snow clad peaks with glittering ridge, Oh rolling
plains with richness rife, Thou monarch trees which gird the mountain
side, New York metropolis of strife. Those surging toiling human souls I
love their throbbing life, Their Common Soul for which that emblem floats
Above; their brotherhood of right. May men not soil nor lose by lust for
gain Those sacred principles for which they fight. Though blind and often
false their steps toward thee, Shine on, Oh Holy Light. Oh hills of

every fettered land where despots rule, Soul of America! - Amy Estep.

Among the Thespians The Thespian Dramatic Club, in spite of several
drawbacks during the school year 1917-1918, did not fail to make its mark
among the clubs of the school. It was necessary for Mr. Hoppe to be gone
for two quarters and the club felt his absence keenly. However we were not
left without a leader, for Mr. Glenn Hughes, an honorary member of the
club, manifested a great in-terest in the club and helped materially in
the realization of its plan. There was a scarcity of boys this year, but
those among us were true Thespians and added much to the success of
dramatics during the year. After the tryouts in the fall, the club began
its year's work by giving a royal reception to the new members. At the
close of a splendid program and good time, the members were guided to the
cafeteria-dining room where most delicious refreshments were served,
followed by "speeches" from the new members, which promised much for the
club. One of the earliest programs was on Riley, and it was thoroughly
en-joyed. Shortly following this was the Hallowe'en party. The club room
was attractively decorated and appropriate games were played after a
fitting Hallowe'en program. Another evening the club studied Irish Drama.
Interesting papers were read and two short plays by Irish dramatists were
read and discussed. Before Christmas the expression students of the club
gave an evening of pantomime in the auditorium. Keen appreciation of their
efforts in that line was shown by the rest of the members. An interesting
one-act play entitled "The Teeth of the Gift Horse" was presented at one
of the regular meet-ings. Those who took part in the sketch were: Miss
Ruth Elander, Miss Ella Lee, Miss Maude Workman, Miss Marion Wheaton, Mr.
Raihardt Han-sen, Mr. Arthur Crawshaw. A review of "The Taming of the
Shrew" was given at another program, and at the proper time in the review
John Miller, Myrtle Pugsley and Emma Zehle presented the dinner scene in
that play. The study of "The Children's Educational Theatre" by Alice
Minnie Herts, and "How to Produce Children's Plays," by Constance Darcy
MacKay, together with the reading of one of Mrs. MacKay's plays, afforded
another interesting program. The papers were carefully written and
pleasingly read. Mention might be made here of the Thespian Male Quartet,
which made its first appearance on that evening. Another profitable
program which the members will long remember was in the form of a
discussion: "Theatres of Europe as I Saw Them," by Miss Edens, w'ho told
in her usual charming way some of the interesting things concerning the
great theaters, plays and players of the Old World. It has been the custom
of the club to banquet at the Hotel Leopold, but in view of war pressures
this elaborate affair was dispensed with, and a simple repast was enjoyed
in the cafeteria dining hall. The club this year has been quite
philanthropic, for with the ninety dol-lars cleared by the presentation of
"Mary Jane's Pa," substantial contribu-tions were made to the Y. M. C. A.,
Belgian Relief and Red Cross. 120

of Miss Morse. The first event of the year was a contribution to the
College Club program. It was a drama in "Three acts." Everyone will
remember the changing of scenery. Just before Thanksgiving the club gave
a Kid Party. Program and games were enjoyed in the little gynasium while
the "kids" industriously sucked sticks of candy. Later in the evening
animal cookies and candy were enjoyed. Even the baby had a good time.
Another party was given in January in the Thespian Club room. March 22 the
members of the club went on a hike. A beach party was also enjoyed. All
the members feel that the year has been a successful one for the club and
hope it will continue and prosper in the coming years. 122

social club and its members :are not bound by any constitution or iron
clad rules, there is a great oppor-tunity for freedom of action. The big
event of the first semester was the famous College Club Vaude-ville, given
in the auditorium. The club furnished the idea, while the various other
clubs of the school helped turn out a finished "Regular Vaudeville," by
;presenting clever song hits and sketches. The proceeds from this program
were divided with the Sisters' League for the benefit of the Red Cross.
The second semester the members of the College Club enjoyed themselves
-by taking excursions, hikes and beach parties. As the club was organized
with a view to wholesome good times, the aim has been successfully
accomplished 123

EDENS' HALL Edens' Hall has no connection with the Garden of Eden, as some
have the nerve to ask. It is more like the Garden of Eden with the Adams
driven out and the Eves left in. During the present year the girls of
Edens' Hall have made life gay in various ways. There have been birthday
parties, slumber parties, experience meetings, spreads, chafing dish
parties, hikes, jitney rides, kimona parades, vaudeville, aesthetic
dancing, light opera, song festivals, dances for females only, room
stackings, and othier diversions too numerous and delicate to mention.
One does not easily forget the time there was a beau in the beau parlor
and the screen drawn in front of a door with Miss Curiosity peeking thru
the crack. Other Eves coming thru the hall gently closed the wings of the
fire screen, shut Miss Curiosity in, and pushed the screen forward until
the inside tripped and fell crashing at the feet of the astonished beau.
Oct. 12 the Hall held open house during the hours from seven till ten p.
m., in which the rooms were open to inspection and visitors were ushered
about and treated to punch and wafers. At this time once a year the boys
have the opportunity of seeing what the girls' rooms look like, and of
turn-ing their pictures around. Sat., Oct. 27, a Hallowe'en masquerade
party for girls only was given, at which we wore hilariaus costumes and
danced hilariaus steps. Our only re-gret was that the boys were omitted.
Friday morning, Dec. 21, the dining room guests were surprised by the
Christmas carol procession in which Miss Woodard and the girls dressed in
white, carried candles and sang songs. Two group parties were given during
the last quarter. Edens' Hall has self government. Mrs. Ida M. Powell, our
house mother, has been at the Hall for years. Miss Eleanor Gray, our
preceptress, came to us at Christmas. OFFICERS Fist Semester- President

Rural Life Club The purpose of the Rural Life Club is literary and social
improvement, and the fitting of its members for the betterment of the
community. During the first of a regular meeting, sections meet separately
and hold parliamentary drill, debate and discussions. Parent-teachers'
organizations are formed, plans for club work are suggested, all of these
things proving very helpful to a rural teacher, for it is she who must
lead in all these undertakings. The programs are planned with the idea
that they could be used in any rural community. One meeting was held in
the gymnasium where Miss Nick-erson demonstrated folk dances and games
suitable for a rural school. Each quarter a frolic is held in the
gymnasium where everyone has the jolliest and best of good times, likewise
many good things to eat. Rural Lifers are always willing to work and to
share their ideas with each other, so that when they have gone forth into
service, they will have many ideas to carry out in their separate
communities. Many of our former members are in the service of their
country, others are successful teachers and all including those who are
yet in school, are loyal and faithful to the club which has given them so
much pleasure and help. Then give three cheers for the Rural Life, the
biggest, best and busiest club in school. 127

The Hyades Club is a new club, formed this year "to give opportunity to
develop native ability to promote social life and service among its
mem-bers." The club takes its name "Hyades" from a cluster of seven stars
in the form of a V, located very near the Constellation of Orion. The
mythological story is that the seven sisters were faithful in their
ser-vice to one of the gods who would have died but for their care and for
this they were given a place in the Heavens. The work of the club has
included the study of various peoples, includ-ing the Irish, Swiss,
Belgians, Italians and American Negroes. One of the very interesting
meetings was held at Squalicum Beach, where after the club had enjoyed a
delightful picnic lunch Mrs. J. Roy Williams, who was born and raised in
the South, gave us personal pictures of the Negroes in their home
environments. There were two other social events during the year. One a
"Kid Party," the other an evening spent with Miss Morse and Miss Cales at
their apart-ments on Forest street. In the benefit for the Red Cross, in
which the College Club invited all other clubs to contribute one number,
the Hlvades twinkled out as chorus girls in "45 Minutes From Hyades." In
keeping with its ideal of service the club has raised the money for and
adopted a war orphan. The money was secured by the Hyades having a fern
sale, by selling pop corn balls after a basket ball game, and by each Hyad
pledging by her own efforts to raise the sum of one dollar. The club has
tried to live up to the ideal of service set for us by the or-iginal
Hyades. 12J

At the beginning of the year the total number of club members in the
school was six. But Ohiyesa spirit and enthusiasm were there and it was not
long until our roll assumed its regular length. Our first social event
was a Hallowe'en party in the small gymnasium. Initiation was held at this
party. Miss McCown was our chaperon and we surely enjoyed her presence.
Just before the holidays we were entertained by Miss Beardsley, Miss Gray
and Miss Milne at Miss Beardsley's apartments. This time we remem-bered our
two club members who are in the service, Ernest Stowe and Roy Farwell. We
are proud of these boys and they have remembered the club with several
very interesting letters. We also had a Valentine party. Each member
received a hand-made val-entine, such as we used to get. Miss Milne is
our new faculty advisor and we considerourselves very fortunate to have
her affiliated with us. We owe to her and to Miss Gray a great deal of our
success. They have ever been ready with helpful sug-gestions and aid of
various kinds.

As we make a resume of the activities of the Alethian Society for this
year, we realize that our time has been profitably as well as pleasurably
spent. During the first semester our social evenings were devoted to the
study of the lives of great men. Early in the year we decided to Hooverize
and consequently our social evenings were not distinguished by the serving
of refreshments, as formerly. However we think with pleasure of that
de-lightful evening we were entertained at the home of Mr. Brown, when
re-freshments were served. The second semester the work of the society was
characterized by a general effort for the upbuilding of the society, and
through the combined efforts of its members this end has been attained. To
Miss Crawford, our sponsor, who has helped us, inspired us and been one of
us, we owe our sincerest thanks. We look with sorrow to the time which
must of necessity mark the dis-persion of our band; but pleasant will be
the memories of happy evenings spent in congenial fellowship, that will
linger in our hearts, safe from the power of time. Members of Alethian

PHILO DIARY Sept. 20 The "Would be" Philos were entertained with a picnic
at Deadman's Point. Sept. 22 The new Philos received little slips telling
them that they were to be Philos. Oct. 11 Initiation. Many of the Philos
were very uncomfortable the next day, after doing the "Stork Walk." All
the new Philos were branded with the Philo sign. Nov. 24 Birthday party.
We canned the Kaiser and shook Philo dice. Toasts were given by Marie
Johns, Smith Carleton, Lou Green and Jean Al-mond. Our soldier boys were
remembered with boxes of birthday cake and scrap-books. Dec. 20 We were
all dressed like children at the Christmas program. Each one brought
something that he wished very much to get rid of. After the program these
gifts were distributed to the children by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. We
will never forget the ruffles on Mr. Rausch's collar or Albert Booman in
short trousers. Feb. 7. Valentine party. Our hall was beautifully
decorated with Kewpies and hearts for our Valentine party. Everyone made a
valentine for some-one else and wrote an original love poem on it; these
were given out at the Valentine Postoffice. May 9 We enjoyed the week-end
party out at the beach. Every two weeks we have regular meetings at which
an interesting program is given. Each week the Philos are asked to write a
letter to some of our boys who are in the service and tell him what the
Philos are doing this year. 135

ALI-5IAJ eLUb The Alkisiah Club is celebrating its twelfth anniversary
this year and re-viewing its history as one of the successful and as the
oldest clubs in the school. The club was organized in 1906. We look with
pride at our first pres-ident, Luella Whittaker, who is at present making
her Master's degree at Columbia University. The club was organized for
literary work on the ideals of the state fed-eration of women's clubs. In
1917 our society joined that federation. This year the cloud of war has
affected the interests of the work. Our programs on women and war relief
have been followed earnestly. We have studied the stories of the
ministrations of Queen Isabella of Spain to the work of the women of
today. Parliamentary drill under able supervision of Miss Baker was also
an interesting feature of our programs. The school life of the year began
with a fudge party for the new mem-bers, continued with initiation a week
later and culminated during the Christ-mas season in a delightful evening
at the home of Miss Baker. The second initiation was in the form of a
valentine party at which new members were received with fitting rites and
ceremonies. Soon after this a series of hikes was a feature of the spring
activities. Most appreciated of all was the annual outing at the beach on
Lummi island at Miss Baker's cottage and at the home of Dorothy Swartz.
During the year we have replaced our social life by war relief work, not-
ably the banquet usually given by the under-classmen for the Seniors. In
this case the funds were donated to the federation of women's clubs to aid
in establishing libraries for the boys in the camps. At the annual bulb
sale eighty bulbs were sold netting a sum of money for the club and giving
experience in bulb culture. This year a delegate was elected to the
federation of women's clubs. The report will be received during the summer
session. By faithful and harmonious work the club has accomplished its
original aim and the interest of the new members gives encouragement for
the fu-ture. We all feel that we owe our success to the unfailing
inspiration of Miss Baker. 136

Sisters' League Our Sisters' League is a patriotic organization of the
school, organized for the purpose of helping, in any way possible,
brothers who are in the ser-vice of the United States, either as soldiers
or sailors. Any one is eligible to membership who has a brother in the
service. We work with the Women's League and the Fathers' and Mothers'
Clubs in doing anything we can in knitting, writing cheery letters, making
little comforts, boxes of cookies and candy for the boys in the hospitals
as well as for those in the cam'ps. The girls do individual work for their
brothers. There are twenty-five active members in our League and we meet
every Friday evening in the sewing room of the Home Economics department.
At our first meetings we hemmed dish towels, made joke books, and bed
socks. At Christmas time we worked with the Women's League in preparing
Christ-mas boxes for the boys in the hospital at Camp Lewis. We also
filled a large box with Christmas tree decorations. In the top of each box
we placed a copy of the Messenger and some interesting illustrated letters.
The Students' Association purchased the material for the service flag and
the Sisters' League made and presented it to the school. OFFICERS

KNITTING CLASSES Under the able supervision of Miss Jensen, knitting
classes were organ-ized and hundreds of girls were taught to knit, who
have been doing active work since. The College Club raised money with
which to buy yarn and fifty pairs of socks were quickly turned out by the
girls. One hundred Christmas boxes were made by the students and sent to
the boys in France. These packages contained a Christmas number of the
Messenger, handkerchiefs, pencils, stationery, dates, raisins, milk
chocolates and a package of playing cards. Many knitted garments have been
turned over to the Red Cross and busy fingers of the students and women of
the fac-ulty are seen knitting in every social gathering, as well as
during the morn-ing assembly. Red Cross and Y. M. C. A., in making their
drives found a ready response among teachers and students of our school.
Mr. Bond was at the head of the campaign and proved to be a successful
manager. Thru our book store the sale of thrift stamps has amounted to
more than four hundred and fifty dollars. -A Junior Red Cross was
organized in the Training School, and thru the efforts of Miss Cummins and
Miss Gray, the membership quickly extended thru all the grades. The
children in the sewing classes have made little gar-ments for the war
sufferers, while the boys in the Manual Training depart-ment have made
puzzles, checker board tables and other articles for the soldiers. Miss
Cummins organized a class in surgical dressings and the girls of her
department have not a minute to spare, so busy are they in war relief
work. 140

WAR COOKERY During the third quarter Miss Ormsby conducted a class in war
cookery, and Miss Ormsby's class consisted of the entire student body.
Demonstra-tions were given at each meeting of the class and much studied,
careful, and valuable information was given by the instructor. The work of
Miss Ormsby was greatly appreciated by the students, as was shown by the
application of the recipes. Nearly every girl has a neatly kept notebook,
in which no other work is found except from Miss Ormsby's class. IN THE
LIBRARY When the call for books was made, Miss Wilson lost no time in
urging the students to respond to the call. Miss Wilson explained the
purpose of the books and the kind of books wanted and also kept alive the
interest she had begun. Thru her earnest efforts two hundred and fifty
books were soon collected and sent to the boys in the service. Miss Wilson
turned the gov-ernment books on food, that are sent to the library to be
displayed, over to her able assistant, Miss Gladys Stephen. Each week Miss
Stephen has a new and attractice display which is most pleasing to the
users of the library. Miss Stephen also assisted Miss Wilson in collecing
books for the soldiers. At the close of the year, the student body voted
to give $500 to the Red Cross. That amount was taken from the students'
association fund. The proceeds of the Senior play were also donated to the
Red Cross Fund.

THE Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. began its work in earnest, even before the
first day of school, by meeting new girls at the trains and boats. Cassie
Cales was obliged to resign the presidency and Eva McAbee was .elected to
fill this vacancy. On September 21st, the annual Y. W. C. A. reception to
the faculty and student body was held. Instead of going to the Hotel
Leopold for a banquet this year, the money was given to the Y. M. C. A.
Student Friendship Fund. A series of wartime parties, with light
refreshments, have been given and were enjoyed much more than elaborate
affairs. The Y. W. C. A. track meet was very much enjoyed. The Freshies,
Sophs, Juniors and Seniors were all there to take part in the contests. The
Freshies carried off all the honors. We will not forget the grand march
led by the victorious Freshmen. November 24 the Y. W. C. A. entertained at
a guest party and the even-ing was spent sewing for the Red Cross. At the
beginning of the second semester a military party was given to the faculty
and the student body in honor of the new students. All depart-ments of the
service were represented. The most conspicious of the drills was that of
the awkward squad. The meetings have not only been interesting, but
profitable as well. Visiting speakers were: Miss Blackmoore and Miss
Stevens, missionaries from China; Dr. Allen and Mrse. Andrews, who have
spent many years in India; Mrs. McAbee, of the Salvation Army, gave us a
most beautiful and inspiring Christmas message entitled "The Cradle, the
Cross and the Coronation." We were very fortunate in having Mrs. Stark, of
St. Louis, with us during the world fellowship week. The tenth annual
Bible Institute, which was in February, was a source ,of great spiritual
help to all who attended. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, and Mrs. Neth, of
Vancouver, were the speakers. The association has had over two hundred
students enrolled in Bible Study classes this year, taught by members of
the faculty and other well pre-pared leaders. We are expecting to have
three hundred enrolled by the end of the year in Mission Study classes.
Another practical service is a well conducted Cafeteria of which Char-lotte
Claussen is manager. The members of the Y. W. C. A. would be un-willing
to give up this phase of their school life. 147

CITY Y. W. C. A. We know you would not think this book complete without a
few re-marks from the Y. W. C. A. Sisterhood. It is the happiest place,
for 'how could it be otherwise with the crowd of Normalites who stay
there? You may not know them all personally so I will introduce them to
you. First of all comes the war brides. Marion Schofield has taken the
name of Johnson. Myrtle Shull and Jack Horrigan were the first couple to
be mar-ried at the Y. W. C. A. We were all invited. Good luck, girls, on
the sea of matrimony. Our artists are Alice and Jean Belch. Major Jean
trips the light fan-tastic up and down the halls with Grandma (Gladys
Hamley '19) at her heels. We also have an artist in the dramatic world-
Myrtle Pugsley. She is authority on all movie actors. Irene Ramsey, no
other than the treasurer of the Senior Class, is not only a diver for
money, but if one chanced to take a peep into our swimming tank, you would
see her diving and swimming like a fish. Certainly you have heard of our
rare type of walking pin cushions, Isla Nash. From morn 'till night you
can hear, "Isla, oh Isla." In cell 301 lives Gail Price and Mary
Tomlinson, otherwise known as "Susie" and Willie," the champion pugilists.
Just down the hall lives the beautiful society belle, Pauline Shuler, who
is always trying to keep peace on the third floor. She is also noted as the
early riser, for at 6:45 you will hear her gentle tap at the door and
"Time to get up, girls." We are sorry that Alice Belch and Alethia and
Marjorie Weeks left us at mid-year. We wish them success in the teaching
profession. We feel quite honored to have Clara Melcher, the first
salaried cadet in Bellingham, as one of us. We have as custodian of our
"zoo," Lelia McCoy, who with jealous care guards our gold fish. The
commissary department is in room 307. Here, Florence Blethen and Marie
Goering generously gave us the proteins and carbohydrates which they
receive in their boxes from home. Ruth Panchot (Waffles) lives with Katie
Lopp. One would almost think they were attending college, but actions
speak louder than decorations (words). Mary Kirchoff and Marie Broulette
came to live in our happy home for the second semester. 148

PRAYER By Glenn Hughes The wild rose blooms but for a day Along the road
in June, And as at night I pass that way Beneath the silent moon, I
lift the fallen petals up Tenderly, one by one, And in my hands they form
a cup That one time held the sun. The night's soft tears are on them yet,
The dawn still haunts their cheeks; And my own face is sweetly wet With
fragrance that it seeks. High up, with white arms in the light, I lift
them to the moon- A perfect prayer this summer night, Along the road in
June! 150

ONE BATTLE: Mrs. Stewart was knitting, seated in the bay window of her
little sitting room. Her sweet face with its sunken eyes had a musing
look, and her wasted throat moved slightly as she worked, as if in time to
the rhythmic weaving and clicking of a thousand other needles in the hands
of a thousand mothers. She turned at the sound of a striking clock. "Now
he's through drill," she thought, "and I'd better be getting sup-per."
Since Bob Stewart bad been at Camp Grant his mother had followed as closely
as possible the schedule of his meals. She liked to think that the row of
hungry boys, with Bob in the midst, were eating at the same time she had
her dainty tea. Once she said with an exalted face, "I'll not eat anything
that he can't have. Sometimes I think I'll sleep on the ground if he has
to." Prosaic Mrs. Jensen, to whom she spoke had turned uncomfortably from
her fervor. "Well I guess the boys are pretty comfortable now," she had
said sens-ibly. The widowed Mrs. Stewart and her only son had been more to
each other than the bustling Mrs. Jensen with her four stolid children
and stolider hus-band could imagine. It had been remarkable that Bob
Stewart had included his delicate little mother in so much of his life and
thought without acquir-ing the stigma of sissyism. It was a tribute to his
brezzy, hearty boyishness that no such suggestion was felt, for though Bob
had many friends, he had no intimate but his mother. Their bond had been
one of complete confidence -a blending of the spirit. The bars of dumb
reticence which separate most growing boys from their practical parents,
had never been raised between them. Mrs. Stewart was thinking of this as
she wandered into his bedroom after tea. What was he doing in this quiet
twilight hour? He used to dress at this time after his work at the garage,
calling gay bits of information and questions to her as he dashed between
bedroom and bath. Tonight she imagined whimsically as she glanced 'round
the faint out-lines of the bare room, he seemed more than ever to be with
her. She started lovingly arranging the clothes hanging in the closet.
"He never had any use of this jersey," she mused, "it seems a shame he
can't wear it when its whole and warm." She patted it into shape, for the
hundredth time thinking of the pathetic limpness of these clothes without
their vivid wearer. Next she glanced at the evening clothes in their
shroud-like bag. What heart burnings and self denials the sleek black
things had meant! After the years Bob had braved formal dances without
them, and the super human boy-ish efforts to save the required money, he
had worn them but once. She stroked them tenderly as she stood dreaming of
that night. He had been so splendid with his handsome sunburned face and
his muscular shoulders. The picture of the gallant young figure in uniform
followed.
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 152
----------
I needn't be afraid he won't succeed, she thot now. "He IS a regular
fighting Stewvart, and he DOES look just like his grandfather." She sighed
as she made this great concession. When she had first mar-ried she had
resented the tradition of the "fighting Stewarts." The picture of her
husband's father, a dashing mustachioed veteran of the Civil War, had
overpowered her little room, and her husband's innumerable stories of his
bravery and recklessness had touched a sore point. Her own father in the
clutches of poverty of the unsuccessful pioneer, had not left his sick wife
and four babies in their desperate helplessness. She liked to think he had
been actuated by a certain courage and she longed to retaliate to her
husband's claims that Bob in all his brave youth resembled "Wild Dan
Stewart." Now she thought with satisfaction that Bob was a happy-go-lucky
act-first-think-afterward Stewart, and that she monopolized the Wilcox
brand of introspec-tion. The mysterious feeling of Bob's presence drew her
restlessly from the little room to the porch of the cottage. She stood for
a moment looking at the lights of the town and at the shimmering streak
of moonlit marsh beyond. A hurrying figure turning in at the gate gave her
a sharp reminder of her boy's innumerable homecomings. She started forward
with a sufficating heart beat-but it was only Willie Jensen from the
telegraph office. With shaking fingers she tore open the yellow envelope
and read the curt announcement that Bob's orders for France had come. And
then-his marriage. When Weston received thru the papers the news of Bob
Stewart's mar-riage, the town was shaken by conjecture and curiosity.
Mrs. Jensen was authority for the fact that "Mrs. Stewart hadn't heard a
breath of it yesterday at six o'clock. I declare I hate to see her," she
con-tinued pityingly. Of course Bob had a right to marry even if she did
scrimp and borrow to send him through school. But they were so awfully
close to each other-someway I can't think of them apart. He'd start
calling 'Moth-er' the minute he got in the door just like a little child,
and the plans he made to fix up her house and take her to California-. I
often told Joe there was one woman who was going to have solid comfort
with her child." To the less sensitive and more curious friends who did
not hesitate to call, the little widow was inscrutable. She went about
the house as usual, painstakingly arranging familiar or-naments. She had
no tears, just a swelling wave of misery, and her mumb brain refused to
consider the details of preparation. The telegram had stated that they
would arrive on Bob's brief leave before sailing. Suddenly she stopped her
dusting and faced the picture of "Wild Dan Stewart." It seemed to her
grieving nerves that his leering eyes followed her about the room. "It's
just the brutal thing you brave Stewats have always done," she said with
white intensity. "My boy-never to tell me-and he comes with that intruding
girl to say goodbye to me. It won't be my son leaving as much as it will
be that silly young thing's husband." 152
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 153
----------
She thought with sharp distaste of the unknown girl. The girl Bob had
never seen two months before. She couldn't know anything about him. How
little things made him suffer while he covered his sensitiveness in a
careless laughing way. That girl would share in sending his boxes and see
the diary that was to have been sacred to just two. Mrs. Stewart sat down
in her accustomed place, where the cold light of a sunless day fell on her
silent brooding figure. "Why didn't he tell me?" went thru her mind in a
sick refrain. In her dull suffering she stared with unsee-ing eyes at the
grey room, but as if in answer to her questions she was seeing once more a
flood of summer sunshine. A chubby sunburned youngster with tears washing
dirty furrows down his cheeks, was pulling a lumbering puppy down the
walk. "That was the first time he ever asked me for a pet," she thought
with a set face. "I said I wasn't strong enough to care for a puppy, but
even then I didn't want anything else between us, and he understood in
some clairvoyant childish way. My heart used to ache when he wanted things
I couldn't give him, and I thought I was self sacrificing, but I never
let him have a chum. Now he's taken what he wanted most-and because I
didn't give it to him-isn't that the bitterest thing?" She sat for a long
time, wrapped in a reverie of sick questionings. Realization came with
cold accusations against that tender care which cringed with fear that
some one else could contribute the best things to her son. Why did she
shrink from sharing the last minutes-the poignant pain of the last
straining look which is transmuted to joy by the splendor of its sac-
rifice. After all this was the real farewell with its aching hunger and
sense of irreparable loss. She would stay in this little room where he had
been en-tirely hers and let their flaming lovers' farewell take the place
of her last blessing. From the exaltation of this mood she roused to the
immediate effort to be made. It would be hardest of all to achieve a
cheerful unclouded welcome to the young wife. Sensitive Bob would be
nervously apprehensive and the beauty of their last days depended on her.
Finally she drew herself up, on her face a great serenity. Her beautiful
worn eyes met the opaque one's of the warrior in the portrait, as she
turned toward his unresponsive face. "I was ever a fighter, so-one fight
more," she quoted. -Catherine Fifield. 153

The Gift of the Rose Master I The Rose Master was a famous scientist who
had specialized in flower culture and now devoted himself exclusively to
roses. It was not known whether his culture was for the purpose of
developing a high degree of art or merely sheer beauty. His roses
possessed both qualities in a high degree. The ignorant people of the
country around said he was mad and named him the "Rose Master." His
gardens extended about a ruined palace in a sunny climate. He him-self
lived in an apartment of the palace and his door opened onto the rose
garden. Early in the morning and after sundown he was busy digging,
spad-ing, watering, pruning. During the day when the sun beat hot on the
sands outside the palace, deep in a cool, dark vault of the place he was
mixing chem-icals, pouring over musty books or dreaming on an old couch.
Some of the good people said he was a wizzard and that in his dreams he
talked with the Devil, bargaining for human souls to put into his roses.
The selected roses grew in an old garden surrounded by a high stone wall
which guarded the courtyard of the palace. The wall was crumbling, clink-ed
with moss and crept over by vines. Owls hooted among the stones in the
moonlight. The roses themselves exotic in their profusion, breathed out a
heavy and intoxicating fragrance. One evening when the Rose Master was
sitting on his threshold drink-ing in the beauty of his garden, a gentle
breeze stirred the leaves, and he heard his favorite tree breathe a deep
sigh. He regarded it with attention. It was the most responsive of all his
creations. The thick velvet softness of its blooms resembled human flesh in
texture and in color, white veined with pink deepening in the center. A
single bloom more perfect than the rest, topped the bush. In its stillness
and its perfume, it seemed a little human heart up-lifted. "What is the
matter with her sister?" said a voice. "She is in love," said one with a
ripple of laughter. "Well, that is nothing," said a third, "we are all in
love. Jack is in love-with a bat, Ivory loves a big, gray moth, and I am
in love with the moon.'" "But Beauty-" "Sh-h!! !" An ominous rustle
passed thru the garden. 154
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 155
----------
Beauty is in love with the Rose Master, sang out a spiteful voice. Silence
fell, deep and deadening. An overpowering perfume thickened the air. For a
long time the Rose Master heard his pulse tick in the stillness. The moon
was high, the light streaming down with an eerie radiance, when a tiny owl
hooted and a white mist began to creep along the ground. "He will never
go," said a low voice. "Let us dance before him," said another. "Come,
let's," they all murmured. The mist rose higher, creeping, spreading,
thickening, until it filled the garden. The plants were no longer visible.
The air was full of something indefinite, alive, moving. The mist began to
individualize into many columns. The air grew clearer. The columns formed
themselves into human shapes, nymphs or fairies, fantastic and beautiful.
They danced and marched as gracefully as the Northern Lights, whirling,
racing, receding, leaping, bend-ing, bowing. As the moon sank lower and
the shadows fell slantwise across the fol-iage the fairies formed a semi
circle. Into their front stepped Beauty, the queenliest of them all.
Bowing low, she saluted the Rose Master. A low, weird music played by the
wind, swept up from the earth and the dance motif began. The ballet was
in action. The movements of Beauty were as inde-scribably beautiful as the
rush of sea waves, the flight of birds or the leaping of fire flames. When
she had finished, the music died out with a low wail and murmur. The moon
was low, the shadows long, and the ballet receding in-to mist. "Come!
come, sister!" cried many little voices. But Beauty stepped into a circle
of light and knelt before the Rose Master. "What do you want, little
sister?" he asked. "A soul like your own," she replied. "Why ?" "Because
when I look at you there is always something I cannot under-stand. You are
not like the sun nor the flowers nor the birds. You have something we have
not. It is torturing me that I can never understand. Make me human like
yourself." "You can never again be the tranquil and joyous flower," he
replied. "I do not care." When the sun rose in the morning, a messenger
in search of the Rose Master found him seated on his threshold. Crushed in
his hands were the petals of a rose, flesh like in texture and color,
white veined with pink. He was dead. Some of the old gossips whispered
that he had sat up to see the fairies dance, and no man can see the
fairies dance and live. Others said he had gone home to his master, the
Devil. 155

An American millionaire bought the old palace to please his daughter
Rosalind, whom he loved more than anything else in the world. Part of the
palace was fitted up to live in, and the family moved in for a season.
Rosalind spent her time wandering about the old gardens and halls. Once,
in a dark vault, she found some books musty and yellow with age. After
that she spent most of her time in the rose garden. The gardener was-given
special directions for the care of the roses, and Rosalind herself watered
and cut the blooms. There was one bush which had not blossomed since the
days of the Rose Master, which opened its buds for her. The flowers were
lovelier than any of the others, flesh like in texture and color, white,
veined with pink deepening the center. When the fiance, Herman, saw the
old palace, he was delighted. On hear-ing the legend of the Rose Master,
he said to Rosalind: "It seems as if I were once that Rose Master and you
were the rose." The wedding day was a holiday for the whole countryside.
There was a magnificent banquet, music, flowers, wine, dancing,
everything. In the midst of the revelry, Herman and Rosalind stepped into
the cool night of the rose garden. The air was heavy with the scent of the
roses. It was very still except for the scraping of insects. The sounds of
music and dancing came to them as from a far away world. The one rose
which was lovelier than the rest beckoned to them. As Herman reached to
pluck it, Rosalind seized his, hand and prevented him. Her face was pale.
"What is the matter, Rosalind? You are sad." It is nothing." "Why are you
sad ?" "I do not know. I seem to be afraid." "Afraid of what ?"
"Nothing, only I wish-" "What do you wish?" "I wish to God I could give
my soul back, and be again that flower, tran-- quil and joyous." -Miriam
Dolman.. 156

Sartling I First prize poem _A sluggish brown stream oozes o'er the
sodden Flemish plain. They're marching! Hear the throb of tramping feet-
Dogged feet that lurch through cold black pools, and stumble on again -
.Hunched shoulders shrinking from the icy sleet. He started out
high-hearted in the acrid foggy morn, He shouldered eighty pounds with
buoyancy. Now each step's an intolerable torture to be borne. With
drifting thoughts he counts steps rhythmically. 'Transported from that
slime and mud to slopes of cool green lawn, To tingling swims and lounging
on the shore, Wild speeding through warm scented nights-dancing to rose
staked dawn- And questioning-was life to mean no more? And when as if in
answer that deep clanging challenge came. 'The high adventure youth was
longing for, If boys confused their duty with a longing for the game-
'Their singing blood delights the gods of war. He marched at first
exulting; but heartsick pity then -Stifled the hate of ineffectual sings.
In sanctuary of his heart, thoughts of bright martyred men Are sealed,
while lips dwell on the trivial things. 'Vhat is the meaning of it now?
boy with the haunted eyes. "Calm eyes that gaze past horrors at a goal,
Exalted- inarticulate-the supreme sacrifice Your spirit freed-that white
flame we call Soul. -Catherine Fifield. 157

THE OWL -Second Prize Poem- In slow and measured flight, His dark wing
cleaves the sombre night. Drifting by the naked trees, Moaning low in
minor keys; Or perches he perchance Upon some deadened branch, From
where with fixed stare Surveys the earth and air, Gloomy, silent,
taciturn, Wildwood comrades doth he spurn. Loves he neither day nor
night, Pale, uncertain, transient light, Twilight shadows doth he love;
Misty light below, above, Like a fog, so indistinct Where earth and sky
are interlinked. Still the branches moan and croon, As doth rise the
fire-orbed moon, Peeping from behind a cloud, Fugative that nightly
shroud. Hides again the moon from sight, Outlines all blend into night.
The old owl tells the hours in flight, His vigil keeps till morning
light. -Jack Lansen. DAY'S DONE - Honorable Mention- The pink-flecked
clouds Scurry across the sky, A flock of pearl-white seagulls flutter by.
The blood-red sun Dips into the west, As I hear the rippling waves
Lulled to rest. The dying sunbeams Flare and are gone, And the deep
grows dark, Day's done. -Cassie Cales.

The Prize Essay C. R. HOLBROOK TIlE RF(O)R(GANIZATION ()F THI \WV fRLI)
()N A DEMI1()CRATIC t/ ASIS FOR PEiACEFUI. II) EVEI ()l'MI ENT The need
for such reconstruction is too) apparent for discussion; the only question
in the minds of thoughtful people of today is how this may be ac-
complished. It is not the purpose of this article to convince the reader
that this is the best or only feasible plan but being different in many
fundanlental points from others it may suggest new possibilities. The sole
aim of this essay is to awaken a deeper interest in the world prolens of
to-day and tio-morrow; to stimulate an independence and breadth of thought
in the citizens of the world which is essential to successful democracy;
and which may re-sult in the formation, the adoption, and the ratification
of a much better plan, whereby the nations of the world may live in
harmony, and the people learn cooperation instead of competitive
destruction: The people of the world are fast losing confidence in their
self-appointed leaders and present system of government, which have
developed the national spirit to such a destructive stage as to convince
the various groups of peoples that their neighbo)rs are at all times
plotting their destruction. Consequently it has become a question of
destroy, or be destroyed. Some (lay when )peopl)le awake to the realization
of the folly of it all, and turn from their deceptive o)ppressors, what
then shall we, as champions of democracy, have to offer? First, as a
basis for consideration, a few fundamental p)riincil)les, which embody
many of the causes and suggest some of the remedies for the present state
of affairs, should be set forth.
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 160

All government should be for the largest number of its subjects, not for
the protection of wealth or for the undue promotion of the governing class.
The state is for the people, not the people for the state; therefore, the
peopi possess the sacred right of revolution, or the right to choose what
government and what kind of government they will have. In any geographical
unit con-tiguous to another nation, where a majority of the people of this
unit desire to become subjects of the other nation, wishing to sever the
ties which have bound them to their own, they should be allowed to do so.
The fact that a nation has been first to discover, explore, and subdue
certain sparsely settled, unorganized, undeveloped, and uncivilized parts
of the world-later known as colonies-does not give that nation eternal
title to them. Neither is any nation, who because of a better organized
navy and army is or has been able to take forcibly such territories from
other nations, justified in such action nor has it any better title. These
territories should belong first to the native peoples, and the world at
large should have second claim. A highly organized nation that it growing
so rapidly in numbers as to be cramped for room, should have the right-in
the present age as well as in the past-to expand so long as there are
large undeveloped or nearly uninhabited areas. Other nations should join
in peaceable arrangements for such expan-sion. No nation has the right to
hold large territories that it is not using, nor will be able to use soon,
when some nearby nation has not enough room for its people. To illustrate:
Russia has no right to all of Siberia, of which she has little use, while
Japan is crowded and needs more room for her overflow of population.
International control and ownership of all strategic waterways neces-sary
for the commerce of the world is not only desirable but indispensable for
world peace. Neutralization of all the seas, in peace and war, would ben-
efit all, and is only fair and just to neutrals. Universal suffrage,
except in the case of illiterates, should be a principle of democracy. A
democratic state should have no moral right to declare war, except in case
of invasion, without referendum to its people. Nationalization of
manufacture of necessary armament would abolish the desire for war on the
part of a large class of capitalists. All owners and publishes of papers
and magazines should be citizens of that country in which their
publications are issued, and should own no property nor have interest in
any foreign state. And finally but without doubt the most important
individual right, every man should have the privilege to worship God or
not, just as he sees fit, without intereference from anyone. Religion is a
personal duty toward God and is no affair of the state; consequently,
religious freedom and a com-plete separation of church and state are most
important principles. 160

Klipsun, 1918 - Page 161
----------
Assuming the foregoing principles to be recognized by all as essential for
peaceful developments, a plan whereby this may be accomplished is in
order. Let us divide the world into three great geographical and partly
racial divisions or units, with the several states of each unit federated
for certain definite purposes of government. The central unit would
include all of Europe, Africa, and that part of Asia west of a line drawn
from the Arabian Sea in the south, along the west-ern boundaries of India,
China, and Mongolia, continuing northeast through Siberia to the Arctic
Ocean to a point near the mouth of the Lens River. Th'ls divides Siberia
racially also, as the part to the east of this line has many more
Mongolian people than Russia. Let us call this great central unit
tEurafrasia, and the union we wish to form among the nations of this unit,
The Federated States of Eurafrasia. The eastern unit would include the
remainder of Asia east of the lpreviou-\ ly drawn line, as well as the
adjacent islands, taking in the oriental peoples of the Mongolian and
Malay races. Geographically, Australia would be in this unit, but since a
large majority of the inhabitants are Caucasiaiis of tlh English type and
are somewhat isolated, they would, no doubt, p)refer to be placed in the
central unit, or Eurafrasia. I et us call the eastern unit lMon-golasia.
The western unit would include the two continents of America with their
adjacent islands. America would be the most apl)ropriate name for this
west-ern unit. Such a federation as we wish to form in each of these
great units is prob-ably most needed in Eurafrasia, the central unit;
nevertheless, tho very dif-ficult, the results will iustify the effort. If
fully explained it will be seen that such a plan would work equally as
well in the western and eastern federations which would be similar but
less complex. \What kind of a federated government will be best for the
natis ns of Eurafrasia? How much power shall be vested in it? How much
shall be re-served for the separate nations? These are difficult
questions, but when the nations are once agreed on these, the rest is
comparatively easy. An empire or a kingdom would be unsatisfactory for
many reasons; for instance, there would be too many contenders for the
crown \iwhich would mean the continu-ation of strife and bloodshed for
kaisers and kings. A form of democracy will then be the only safe
government for such a federation. It is well known from experiences of our
critical period that a government which can reco-mend, but has no power to
enforce, is a failure. Consequently, what ever duties are placed upon the
federal government, it must have power to perform. All will agree that
each of the states should retain the right to have the kind of government
that seems best suited to the needs of its people. Each state should have
power to regulate its own affairs within its boundaries, so long as it
does not endanger the rights of another. The federal government should
have power to settle disputes between the states; to regulate interstate
and foreign commerce, tariffs, and postal or telegraph service; to control
all canals and strategic waterways necessary to interstate commerce, as
well as the man-ufacture and use of all armament. It should guarantee to
all religious liberty, and to every non- illiterate the right of suffrage.
161
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 162
----------
For the purpose of government, Eurafrasia will be divided into states and
territories. These states will be known as Advanced States-those highly
developed, whose populations are less than fifty per cent illiterate, such
as England; and Retarded States-those less highly developed whose
popula-tions are more than fifty, but less than seventy-five per cent
illiterate, such as Russia. Sections sparcely settled and undeveloped
whose inhabitants are more than seventy-five per cent illiterate will be
called Federal Territories Illiterate is defined as meaning the inability
of all persons over ten years of age to read and write. As to government,
there shall be three departments-the legislative, ex-ecutive, and
judicial. The legislative shall consist of an upper house, or sen-ate, and
a lower house of representatives. As to representation in the senate, the
states shall be classified according to population. States having a popu-
lation of twenty-five millions or over, shall be in the first class and
entitled to five senators, which shall be appointed by the state
government in any way it sees fit and would serve until recalled. This
class will include the great powers of Europe. States having a population
of less than twenty-five mil-lion or over shall be in the second class,
and entitled to three senators. All states having a population of less
than ten million shall be in the third class and entitled to two senators.
Each state shall send one representative to the lower house for every
million of non-illiterate population, which shall be elect-ed by the
people for a term of ten years. It will be interesting to note the
personel of this congress. England, Germany, France, Italy, Austra-Hungary,
Russia and perhaps Ukrania will each send five senators. Spain will send
three, but Turkey even tho having twenty million, may not be entitled to
any, as it is doubtful if she can be classed as a retarted state, so many
of her people being illiterate. Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden,
Finland, Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia, Greece, Switzerland, Portugal,
Ireland, and Australia will each be entitled to two senators. This will
make in all about seventy-five senators. In our lower house,
representation being based on non-illiterate population, there will be
about forty English, four Irish. thirty-four French, eight Spanish, two
Portu-geese, Twenty-two Italian, twenty-three Austrian, fourteen
Hungarian, three Swiss, sixty-five German, six Belgian, six Dutch. two
Danish, two Norwegan, five Sweedish, two Finnish, fifty Russian, ten
Ukranian, eight Polish, three Roumanian, three Bulgarian, two Servian, and
two Grecian representatives, making in all about three hundred fifty.
162
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 163
----------
This senate and house of representatives, or congress, shall convene once
each year, remaining in session not more than sixty days. The first
difficulty when congress convenes will be the matter of the language to be
used in con-gress. On thinking of the many nationalities present it seems
quite an ob- stacle, but in reality most of the educated people of Europe
speak several of the more important languages; at any rate the ballot
should be the judge in all such cases, and once a language is adopted it
should be a matter of study for the representatives. The lower house
shall elect a premier or president, who shall form a re-sponsible
ministry to carry out the executive functions of the government, but who
may be recalled at any time congress is in session. The senate shall
appoint or elect fifteen noted judges-not more than two from any one
na-tion- who shall form the judicial department or federal court, to
which all appeals shall be made. This court shall interpret the laws,
decide the juris-diction of appealed questions, and try all cases charged
with breaking fed- ,eral laws. In case the offender is a state the court
shall present its verdict to the assembled congress for approval.
Congress shall have power to impose taxes on the states and territories
,directly proportional to population. Upon organization of the federal
gov-ernment, the various states shall surrender all naval units, except
any which congress shall prescribe as necessary for police duty within
each state's own territorial waters and ports, to federal government to be
used for policing high seas and strategic waterways included under
jurisdiction of unit. Each state shall be given credit on its share of
support of the federal government for the value of its navy given over to
federal government. Each state shall furnish to federal government its
quota of men, based on population. to form a federal army for purposes of
policeing boundaries, enforcing laws, and gov-erning territories. No
state shall be allowed to maintain a military force larger than is
necessary for police duty within its own boundaries. This should be a
certain per cent of population decided upon by congress, probably not more
than one to one thousand. Congress shall have the right to spec-ify the
form of government for the special states classified as Retarded States.
Other important duties and powers of congress shall be the regulation and
government of federal territories which are Africa and Southwest Asia.
Congress shall maintain order, establish schools, keep open to
non-illiterate immigration, regulate trade, and develop and govern these
territories with the idea of protecting and promoting the welafre of the
native people and home seekers, that they may ultimately become states.
One very important question is that of where our federal government shall
be established. As Constantinople is the geographical and logical center
of Eurafrasia, it should. without doubt, be the capital. Its strategiv
import-ance demands that it be held and controlled by an international
government. rather than of the vacillating but vicious Turk. 163
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 164
----------
One of the most desirable results of this reorganization will be a \Vorill
Council, which shall be formed by the three great world units selecting
fromii their congresses forty-five members. Each congress shall elect ten
of its representatives and five of its senators to meet at Constantinople.
once every two years, to consider world problems, and to formulate
treaties and plans to report to their respective congresses. The special
function of this World Council shall be to act as a final court of appeal
to decide matters hopelessly dividing any one of the federations or units.
()ther very impmortant duties shall be to reach an agreement or maNxi-mum
armamenits, universal weights and measures, money standards, and a
universal conmmercial language: to establish rules for traffic on the high
seas, and zones of jurisdiction for each unit to p)olice. After the
countries of the world have been more closely bound together by railways
and lines of communication, and the peop)le of the states ha \ve learned
by a few centuries of experience the value of cooperation in groups. it is
to be expected that the federal idea will devlop until all of the nations
() the world are united in one great federal union. Shall this war be
settled in the old way, by one group of people being reduced to submission
to another group, or shall the people of the world be offered a real
democratic peace? 164

nary clarE's Pa The Thespian Dramatic Club played "Mary Jane's Pa" before
a crowded auditorium on the night of March 1st. In the production the
Thespians pre-served their splendid reputation and gave the audience a
theme for future conservation. Tho we might think from the title that
"Mary Jane's Pa" is a childish comedy, in reality it is a lively dramatic
reproduction of the American small town. Mr. Glenn Hughes excelled in the
interpretation of Hiram Perkins, the capricious, whimsical, cultured
tramp, who walks in unannounced after an absence of eleven years, to find
his children older and his wife "mellower" than when he last saw them.
Portia Perkins, played by Bernice Ober, was an efficient editor of the
local "Clarion." Her role as the mother of Lucile and Mary Jane was
splen-didly taken and she surprised both the audience and herself in
offering Hi-ram "board and room with Thursday afternoons off, and twelve
dollars a month" for his services as general housemaid and cook. The
Perkins daughters were charming. Lucile (Nina Lusk) was worthy of Barrett
Sheridan (Gaines Beasley) the qouthful actor in love with her. Mary Jane
(Ella Lee), a winsome little maid of eleven years won the hearts of all.
Rome Preston, an honest man, was played with strength by Rainhardt Hanson.
His rival, Joel Skinner, as played by John Miller, was a most wily and
dishonest old politician. Humor was frequently supplied by Ivy Wilcox
(Helen Upper) the vil-lage belle, Miss Faxon (Hazel Hunasberger) the
milliner, Star Skinner (Chester Garden) the village "catch," and Lewellyn
Green (Montford Al-sop) the printer's devil. One look at Claude Whitcomb
"goin' down to meet the 2:45," or at Line Watkins sweltering in his fur
coat, would suffice. The entire cast was composed of: Portia Perkins

chosen by the Junior Class for their play this year- This play was made
famous by Maude Adams. It is a quaint English comedy, the scenes being
laid in a small English town of the Victorian period. Valentine is very
attentive to Phoebe who lives with her older sister, Miss Susan. But war
comes and Valentine enlists. During his seven years' ab-sence Phoebe and
Miss Susan loose most of their fortune so they both become-school
teachers. Valentine, upon his return, is not as interested in Phoebe, the
spinsterly school mistress, as he was in the curly headed campfire girl
whom he had left. Phoebe, despairing, goes to a ball disguised as her own
neice. Valentine's interest is again aroused and they "live happily ever
after-ward." "Quality Street" was given April 27, under the efficient
direction of Miss. Summer. The play was an artistic success from beginning
until the end. The stage settings were worked out with a finish seldom
seen in professional per- formances, and the costumes were not only true
to the historic period, but blended with the stage setting in striking
harmony. The acting of the entire-cast passed the standard of amateurs.
The school feels the deepest gratitude to Miss Summer and the Junior Class
for the pleasure of such a perfect artistic performance. 118

THESPIAN PLAYS The Thespians entertained their friends in the auditorium
March 22. The first number on their program was a piano solo by John
Miller. Fol-lowing this a one-act play. "Showing up Mabel," was presented.
The play was written an(d directed by 7Mr. Glenn Hughes. MIabel (Anne
Bennett) is a western girl who is brought to the home of M rs. Landers,
(Bernice ()ber) and her daughter Helen (Marion \\heaton) by her friend,
Jimmie Blake (John Miller). Mrs. ILanders, with the help of her daughter
and Harold Ilinr ham (Chester Garden) endeavors to "show up" Mabel as
being an entirely unsuitable person and lacking in culture. But at a
crucial moment the maid (Petty Lee) enters and annotunces a telephl1ne call
for the famous actress, Florence Burnham. Mabel explains that she is Miss
Burnham and has come to the Landers' home with Jimmie Blake, her fi-ance,
who is a playwright, in order to gather proper atmosphere for a play which
he is writing for her. The parts were all splendidly taken and the play
was a decided success. "The Mad Tea Partyv." from "Alice in Wonderland,"
dramatized by Mr. Glenn Hughes, was then given. Betty Lee made a charming
Alice, while Mr. Hughes as the Mad Hatter, and Chester Garden as the March
Hare were as mad as one could desire. John Miller yawned and stretched his
way thru the part of the Door Mouse in a very realistic way. Miss Kathleen
Skally gave a beautiful solo dance between the plays. "Milly Dilly,"
another one-act play by Mr. Hughes, featured Myrtle Pugsley as Milly
Dilly, a girl of the mountains. Ned Holbrook (Mr. Hughes), a lawyer from
San Francisco, finds that there is no mud and smoke in the mountains,
while Millydilly discovers, because there is no smoke to cloud her vision,
that Mary Holbrook (Maie Armstrong) has a soul and that she loves her
husband. The plays were all ?iven well and the Thespian Dramatic Club
proved to be an organization of which the school may well be proud. 169

The Senior's choice of play, "The Lion and the Mouse," is a well-known
standard play dealing with the powers and influence of money. John B.
Ryder, a money-giant. a Wall street "king," instigates the im- peachment
of Judge Scott because of a decision unfavorable to him. Shirley, the
daughter of the ex- judge, succeeds in obtaining the position of secretary
to Mr. Ryder under an assumed name, in hopes of obtaining a certain paper
which will prove her father's innocence. The plot is further complicated by
the son, Jefferson Ryder, who falls in love with Shirley. The prolems are
finally all solved, the complications straightened out and the play ends
hap-pily. The play was staged under the direction of Mr. Hopl)pe and in
spite of the busy time of commencement days, the house was filled and the
play much enjoyed.

The Training School, the rasion d'etre of the existence of any Normal, has
enjoyed on exceptionally happy and prosperous year. The work of 1917- 18
has both enlarged and intensified over that of last year. Everett, as well
as Bellingham, has welcomed into its city system a number of student
teach-ers, which has necessitated the residence in Everett of one of the
Normal critic teachers, Miss Drake; while war conditions, with the desire
to contribute to the work of the Red Cross, has been keenly felt in the
adjustments to the course of study. In the kindergarten and primary
grades Misses Graves and Mobrav have followed the ideas of allowing the
pupils to solve their own problems, their cultivating self-control,
independence and helpfulness. These pupils have identified themselves with
the Junior Red Cross, and have invested their sur-plus pennies in Thrift
Stamps. The more advanced classes have knitted-scarfs for their dolls, to
be sure, at first, but later expect to knit socks for soldiers. War
gardens have also been planned. 180
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 181
----------
Miss Willoughby, the critic teacher of the third and fourth grades, has d
lt;lone much inspirational work with the students in raising money for the
Red Cross. In the Nature Study classes the children planted hyacinth bulbs
and ,cultivated war gardens, and realized from these enterprises
considerable mon-ey for war charities. Time has been devoted in making
slips for pillows, gun wipers and trinket bags. In the fifth and sixth
grades art and dramatization have been stressed this year under the
guidance of Miss Gray. All students are enrolled as members .of the Junior
Red Cross.
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 182
----------
Miss Cummins, of the seventh and eighth grades, has displayed great
versatility in her class tvork in the raising of money for war purposes.
During the latter part of February the girls made a great amount of
marmalade in their l)omestic Science classes, then later sold it at a
considerable profit. tBoys and girls knit, make ambulance pillows and
bags. Active practice in basket ball has been enjoyed and splendid
sportsmanship displayed in contests. The Junior library was this year
moved into the Training department. It comprises 1500 volumes. The books
are in constant demand, and a scheme has been worked out, where credit is
given for home reading. The work of practice teachers in the city schools
of Bellingham has main-tained a high standard this year, due to the
guidance of Misses Lee, O'Conner and Crawford. On the whole the past
year has been the most successful in the history of the Training School.
No small measure of its success is due to Miss Earheart. the principal.
Iler executive ability, resourcefulness, sincerity and untir-ing energy
have lightened the burden of many faltering practice- teacher, and won for
her the respect and admniration of the school at large. 182

SENIOR GIRLS' HOCKEY TFAM 188

Klipsun, 1918 - Page 189
----------
GIRLS' HOCKEY Hockey this year has been one of the events in athletic
circles. This is the first time that the girls had a chance to) play
matched ganes. The first meeting was called Sept. 28, '17, for all girls
interested in HIockey. At this meeting each class elected their Captain
and Manager. Senior- Captain, Kochefort ; Manager, Tyler. Junior-Captain,
Polley; Manager, Campbell. Both teams showed interest and eagerness to
learn the game. ()n both rainy and pleasant (lays the hockey grounds were
crw(lc(l. l'ven the faculty organized a team and had their regular
practice days. They threatened to enter the contest wit hthe Juniors and
Seniors, but on account of bad weather they were disappointed in their
plans. The (nly games that were played were between the junior and Senior
teams, and these iwre evenly matched. The first game. Nov. 9, 1917,
between the Jninors and Seniors, ended with no score on either side. Both
teams were determinle(l to win in the next contest and began vigorous
practice. Seniors made a goal in first half of the second game, Nov. 16,
1917, while the Juniors still had no score. The Juniors were not
discouraged, and began their practice with new vigor, tbut to the
disappointment of all, the rainy season began, before the scheduled gamine
had been played. LI N E- U IP Seniors : Center-Tyler R. Inside-

As in the previous years, Basket Ball was the principal game played by the
girls this year. The teams represent the different classes and have
oppor-tunities during the year to contest for class honors. The winners of
two games out of three have their class name and date of winning game
engraved on the Kline cup. This is considered a great honor, and the teams
drill hard and long to gain it for their class. On account of hockey,,
basket ball was a little late in the field. Not until December first did
the two teams, Juniors and Seniors, have a meeting and decide to play
modified boys' rules. The girls began to practice with a vim, and the gym.
was a scene of excitement every spare hour of the day. A captain and
manager was chosen to represent each team. Senior Team-Eva Tyler, Captain,
and Ruby Morganthaler, Manager. Junior Team-Valentine Newell, Captain, and
Hlallie Campbell, Manager. The following schedule as arranged: February
13-Senior 17; Junior 18. March 4-Senior 29; Junior 16. March 21-Senior
22; Junior 21. The first game played between the Juniors and Seniors ended
in a score of 18 to 17, in favor of the Juniors. The Seniors were not
discouraged with the result of their first game, and began to practice
more diligently and ar-ranged their team in a different way, so that they
were able to defeat their Junior opponents by a score of 29 to 11 in the
second game. Of course the third and final game was the most exciting of
all events. In the halls and on the streets the girls were constantly
planning for the game. At last the hour arrived. A large crowd gathered
for the final game. At five o'clock the whistle blew and the game was on!
Both teams played fast and furious, a clean game to win, for their class.
During the second half the Juniors played with determination and their
score began to rise. At last the whistle blew for time, and the Seniors
again won, but only by one point. The Junior girls were disappointed, but
took their defeat-woe be upon the person who says a girl is not a good
sportsman! We must not leave out the important factors in Basket Ball.
Miss Nick-erson, who was always there to see that the girls were doing
their best; always giving suggestions, and never showing any favoritism.
Miss Skalley, whose duty it was to tell the girls of their weak points,
would willingly fill out the game during practice. LETTER GIRLS.

over, baseball began. Both classes are of equal strength and have proven
good matches for each other in base ball as well as basket ball. TENNIS
This year tennis is a great success, thanks to the early spring weather.
Now and then during the winter months, the tennis courts were busy. In
April almost every girl carried a racket. The girls are looking forward to
the tennis tournament which will take place near the close of the year,
and we are hoping it will be a great success. 195

SAM CARVER has coached all of our games, and to him goes the credit for
our success. \We take our few defeats upon ourselves. CAPTAIN HOMER
KENNETT. Kennett is the only man left from last year's championship team.
Those who saw him play last year predicted a wonderful future for him. He
has lived up to his reputation and has been in the thickest of the fight
from the first to the last whistle. This is his last year with W. S. N. S.
and his loss will be keenly felt. HAROLD APLIN "Hattie" has been
handicapped with injuries at different times thruout the season, but this
has not kept him out of the game. In the games in which he -played he has
proved himself to be right there all the time. He fights hard and when it
comes to handling the ball "Hattie" has no peers. He will be -back next
year. HARRY BARTRIFF Harry, our diminuative guard, has proved the
surprise of the season. He looked small at the beginning, but when the
ball was in play little Harry fought 'em off their feet. He will be
remembered by his "spunk." which was ,clearly shown whenever he was on
the floor. This is his first year and great- lt;er things can be expected
from him next season. 199 * I

HERBERT DAVIS Our small gym has been dubbed the "bull pen" and, if such it
is, "Gig"I ought to have lived in the days of bull fighters. There is no
one more at home on our floor than he. The forwards were mighty lucky that
shot bas-kets on "Gig" in that little old gym. "Get the ball off the wall"
is his sloga!n, and when he decides to get it, there are few things that
stop him. He grad-uates this year. ORREN FRY "Old Reliable Fry" played
in every game of the season and not once did he falter. Fry is not a
spectacular player, but one on edge every minute. Al-tho this is his first
year at guard he soon showed his worth and before the schedule was half
played he had earned the reputation of being one of the most valuable men
to the team. He is a Senior and will leave a large gap for "Sam" to fill
next year. HOWARD HUGHES Neither large nor tall, yet Howard Hughes is
all there. He has a queer habit of going down the open places that is most
bewildering to opponents. Howard played more than any member of the team
and as for wind and en-durance, it could be measured in barrels. He is a
member of the class of '18, and will not be back next year. JOHN MILLER
John, altho small, is a whirlwind in a basket ball game. He is the fastest
man on the team and a dead shot. He brought dismay to the hearts of more
than one guard by his long rainbow goals and when it came to team work
there was no smoother running cog in the Carver machine. John graduates
with the class of '18. 201

At the beginning of the present year of basket ball Sam Carver had a
school record of sixteen successive victories to uphold. With football
out of athletics on account of the war conditions, the basket ball season
was started early in December and immediately after the holidays suits
were given out. From then on thruout the season the team improved with
each game and finally when Whatcom was defeated in the final game of the
season, the opposition had to be mighty strong to crack the Normal
machine. On Dec. 11 our team journeyed to Fairhaven and started the season
by annexing a 46 to 12 victory. Altho slow and wild at times, the quintet
showed signs of ability and it was clear that greater things would be done
in the future. Another week of strenuous practice brot us face to face
with the same team. This time W. S. N. S. played with a weakened line-up,
but had little difficulty winning, 23 to 10. Ellensburg 19, W. S. N. S.
32. Ellensburg, the champions of eastern \Vashington High schools, came to
avenge the defeat of the previous season. They defeated the NWhatcom
High, and the following night they came up to the Normal ready to take our
scalp. With steady tread and set faces our team ran on the floor and after
40 minutes of speedy, desperate playing W. S. N. S. had put away another
victim. Vancouver 46, W. S. N. S. 22. On Jan. 19 \W. S. N. S. was defeated
for the first time in over two years. A tiresome day of travel and an
immense gym, spelled defeat for our five. 203
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 204

Cushman 21, W. S. N. S. 43. When these warriors trotted onto the floor an
audible murmur was per- ceptable in the audience. The game started with
W. S. N. S. jumping into the lead with amazing suddenness and at the half
were enjoying a comfortable lead. The Indians came back with avengeance in
the second stanza and for a while the pace was fast and furious.
Gradually, however, the Normal forged ahead and were rap-idly increasing
their lead at the final whistle. The feature of the game was the
sportsmanship of the Indians. College of Puget Sound 9, W. S. N. S. 46.
This Tacoma team with an excellent record entered our gym on the even-ing
of Feb. 9th. The Blue and White quintet, fresh from their victory the
previous Saturday, and realizing the strong opposition they had, played a
wonderful brand of ball. When the first half was over W. S. N. S. had a
lead of 24 points. U. of Washington Freshmen 25, W. S. N. S. 18. Beaten
by one man! This sums up the hardest fought game ever wit-nessed in the
local gym. W. S. N. S. quickly jumped into the lead, but not for long.
After all was over, Silk. our tall center friend had annexed nine baskets,
a total of eighteen points out of his team's twenty-five. A feature of the
game was the work of the Normal guards. They held their forwards to one
lonely goal for two points. Cushman 16, W. S. N. S. 35. W. S. N. S. played
Tacoma on the Cushman floor for the first time. The White and Blue fought
the Cushman team to a standstill and won handily. The whole team played a
stellar brand of ball, the guards again featuring by holding the Indian
forwards to one goal apiece. College of Puget Sound 22, W. S. N. S. 17.
Once again the White and Blue was trampled down, this time in the large
Stadium High gym. This floor, which is large enough for two or three
ordinary floors, thru some mistake was laid out into one. It is the largest
basket ball playing area that any member of the team had ever seen and the
Normal quintet was lost. Their short, quick passes were useless and their
team work was shattered. 204
----------
Klipsun, 1918 - Page 205
----------
As it was the game was close and fast thruout and only in the last minutes
of play did C. P. S. forge ahead to victory. The defeat was more than made
up for by a previous victory when C. P. S. was beaten to the tune of five
to one. Ellensburg 24, W. S. N. S. 32. After an eventful trip over the
mountains the team arrived in Ellensburg only to find that the game had
been forgotten about. After some good, direct suggestions and hasty
preparations, things were soon adjusted and that night the local gym was
packed. The brand of basket ball dished out that night against the
champions of eastern Washington will not soon be forgotten by those who
witnessed the contest. Playing on their home floor and before a crowd of
wild, cheering fans, the Ellensburg five fought to the last ounce of their
strength. But the fast and furious teamwork of the Coast boys was not to
be denied and they finally merged from the fight, the victors. The
defense of the White and Blue was away above par, but the credit for the
victory goes to the Normal forwards. Little John Miller was darting in and
out like a streak, shooting his long rainbow goals time and again. In the
meantime he was passing swiftly and surely to Capt. Kennett, who never
played better in his life. His 170 pounds of bone and muscle was everywhere
in the fight and his queer way of shooting with one arm was working with
deadly accuracy. This combination was too much for Ellensburg and they had
to be satisfied with second best. Vancouver 30, W. S. N. S. 27. On the
evening of March 2, Vancouver again defeated the White and Blue five. We
accept the defeat with good grace, but still wish that the game might be
played over. The Canadians came down with but five men. The champions of
B. C. started with a rush and before the local five awoke they had a
comfortable lead. In the second half the Normal came back with a vengance
and easily outplayed their opponents, the score being 15 to 9 for this
period. The Van-couver lead was too great, however, and the game ended
with our team on the short end of the score. 205

The W. S. N. S.-Whatcom Series. After a great deal of arguing and
meditating the Normal and Whatcom, authorities arranged to play a series
of basket ball to determine the champ-ionship of the city. Finally on
Friday evening, March 8, the White and Blue crossed the town to the North
Side school and before a crowd estimated to be the largest that ever
attended a basket ball game in the Northwest, the contest began. Altho on
a strange floor the superior team work of the Normal was evident and at
the half was 15 to 9 with Whatcom on the short end. The second half
started as the first and then the baloon went up. What-com got away with
some long shots and for about three minutes the visitors went all to
pieces. Shot after shot found the hoop and when their short rally was over
the Northsiders had a comfortable lead. Then began the uphill climb of the
Normal. They played rings around the High school, but when time was called
they were on the wrong end of a 24 to 32 score. The desperate W. S. N. S.
players held their alibis until the following night when they again mixed
with the Crimson and White. The small gym was packed to the overflowing
stage and many were turned away from the door. From the first whistle it
was evident which team was stronger and the- White and Blue quintet had
come back with a vengance. The W. S. N. S. scored 13 times from the field
and 4 from the foul line, the final score being 30 to 15. The Normal team
is clearly the champions by virtue of decisively win-ning three of the
four halves, scoring far more field goals and making a totat; of 54
points as compared to 47 by Whatcom. 206

BASEBALL When Coach Carver issued a call for baseball candidates the first
week of March there was a surprising large turnout. The warm sunny days
put the-fever into the men and the old ball lot was covered with restless,
hustling athletes. Competition for places on the White and Blue nine was
keen and as a result the rough edges were soon smoothed off and by the end
of March suits had been given to the twelve successful players. Nearly all
of the men are from high school teams with a few very promising youngsters
to fill in. "Nate" Coles landed the backstop job. He is a good hitter and
whips 'em down to second with deadly accuracy. The pitching end is held
down by Milton Grell and Raymond Elder. Both are steady, with good
controll and a fine assortment of curves and speed. In the infield are
Capt. "Rein" Hansen on first, Roy Pratt at second, Harry Bartriff holding
third and John Miller - guarding short. They work together as one man and
are due to cause worry to more than one team. The outergardens are
occupied by Paul Washke in left, "Gig" Davis in center, and Jack Whittaker
in right. All three field well and are there with the bat. Elmer Brown and
"Les" Sorensen are ready to jump in any time they are needed. Coach Carver
has, on the whole rounded out a well balanced aggregation that will leave
an enviable record behind it. The 1918 Schedule. W . S. N. S. vs. Blaine

CLASS HISTORY It was in the fall of 1916 that students from all over the
state of Washing-ton, and many from Alaska. Montana, Oregon, Idaho and
various other places assembled at the Normal on the hill to create the
largest and most versatile class in the history of the institution. We
started out from the first to be leaders in all the school's activities.
The girls won the Kline cup, the boys lent their assistance toward
gaining honors for the school in baseball, basket-ball, and other athletic
events. In a social way we had parties, mixers and picnics full of
enthusiasm and good times. The big social events of the year and the class
play, "Merely Mary Ann," and the Junior-Senior reception. Then came
vacation. A few weeks passed and we were wending our way up the hill to
enroll again as members in the biggest class in the history of the Normal
school-the 1918 Seniors. Altho we lost some of our most valued members-
many to teach, but many more responded to the call of their country and
are now serving Uncle Sam here and Over There-new faces appeared to take
their places in our ranks. We have had parties. picnics, mixers, hikes
and outdoor sports of various kinds, but we have observed the strictest
war-time economy at all times, and have been happier for it. We won the
Herald cup by having the largest percentage of members to the top of Mt.
Chuckanut on Saturday, April 18. Our Senior girls won the Kline cup and
most of the players received let-ters. A large number of Senior girls
received letters for successful playing in the hockey games. The boys,
not to be outclassed by the girls, won the majority of the basket ball
games played with other schools and received their letters, also. A happy
and prosperous year terminated in the commencement exer-cises where over
three hundred received their diplomas. -Mabl McFaddera. 220

Reminiscences of a Senior We cannot bid Thee last forewell, Our Alma
Mater of the hills, For Thee our hearts in fervor swell With songs we
cannot sing. Oh vast expanse of shining sea, And sweetly smiling isles of
verdure green, How oft our thoughts have turned to thee When bound by
daily tasks which irksome seem. Our feet again in thought will tread
Those footworn paths, up Sehomee climb; Where we can see the mighty sun
His flaming chariots ride to lands sublime. Oh comrades dear whom we have
loved, Whose common thought and purpose we have shared; Our lives
together we will knit, That those who follow us may know we cared. Oh go
with us thou visions fair, Thou shining sea, inspiring hills, and flaming
skies; And comradeship of fellow beings, Oh keep us near to thy great
truths throughout our lives. 222

will and testament for the purpose of disposing of our mis-fortunes, cares
and responsibilities, also of our pleasures and ideals, and of
bequeathing the same to our successors, do solemnly devise and bequeath as

superfluous knolwedge, .skill, diplomacy, and books on methods of pedagogy
which we shall no longer -need in this life or the next. Article II To

remember him with pies and other dainties when he sits up late, and goes
without his dinner in order to adjust their programs, as he has been -
known to do for us. Second: We leave our empty class rooms, empty heads,
empty hearts. and empty seats in assembly, hoping all such may be adorned

turnouts. Fourth: We leave the Kline cup with a short treatise on how to

yellow passports and the key to the cipher code, "N. B. C." (c) our old

with a special provision to not put them all on the one day shelf. We

than has ever been left to her before. Eighteenth: To Mr. Klemme, we leave

just a hint of the love and esteem in which she is held by every member of

disinherit Miss Edens, because anything bestowed upon her would be
"censored." Twenty-sixth: To Miss Summer, we leave our congratulations for
the success of her production of "Quality Street;" we bequeath also, a
motor truck, a search warrant, and a police star, so that she may go the
limit when looking for scenery for stage settings. Twenty-eighth: To Dr.
Nash, we leave a board of censors, before whom prospective Assembly
speakers be given a "try out;" we recommend that this committee be
composed of Miss Wilson, Miss Druse and Dr. Herre. We, one and all, leave
