KKI LIPSUN Recompense GLENN HUGHES Let the gross world go by As it
will; And let the sad hours die -- We have still In spite of winged time
And despair That which makes all things sublime, All things fair.
Where music is, where lights Ever burn, Where perfumes of sweet nights
Turn on turn Flood the earth, 'tis there the soul Wakes and sings Like a
skylark with no goal But swift wings. Art is a steady light, A sweet
song, A flower of delight Borne along By white hands in the dark Toward
that sea Where all men shall embark And be free. Ei gh t

SMUITH Twenty-six years ago the citizens of Bellingham were anxiously
awaiting the decision as to where in the county the new State Normal
School was to be located. On February 19, 1893, a newspaper stated: " Now
that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and Langtry
Point on Lake What-com are mentioned as desirable locations for a site."
However, when the present site was donated, all other locations were
for-gotten. In 1896, the first build-ing was erected at a cost of
$45,000. The school opened its doors to students on September 6, 1899.
The faculty hoped for an attendance of one hundred. Three hundred
forty-nine en-rolled. The first assembly room was but a part of what is
at present the library. The commencement exercises were held in the
Bell-ingham Theatre, in old What- Ten

KLIPSUNzw comn. The first office of the president was the room which Mr.
Bever now uses as an office. The one large ivy-clad stump is a reminder
that in the early day s there were twenty-four such, set in a spuashy,
mos-quito- inhabited swamp w h i c h lay between the knoll and the
Normal building. The east end of Sehome was excavated and this swamp
filled in. At that time there were not so 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. Fromi a small beginning has grown our present
institution. The Training School building was added in 1901; Edens Hall in
1905; Science Annex in 1907; the Manual Training Shop and an additional
amnnex to the Train-ing School in 1913. Dr. G. W. Nash became president
of the school in 1914. Under his tlirection each department has steadily
improved until our school has recognition throughout the entire United
States. It is the purpose of D)r. Nash to keep the school abreast of the
times and to offer courses that attract students from all parts of the
state and other states as well. The result is seen in the large student
body. A beautiful and well kept lawn is the pride of all of the students.
During the year 1918-19 the Students' Loan Fund was in-creased to
$15,000. Among the appropriations which have been granted to the Normal
School during the year 1918-19 are $100,000 to be used for a dormitory,
$15,000 for ad-ditional grounds and $82,000 for either a library or a new
gymna- sium. Eleven Eleven

KI LIPSUNV 'W Trail FIRST PRIZE POEM EVA SANTEE Currant leaves, cedar
trees, hazel bush, and pussy willow, Maple vine, white pine, hemlock bark
of red, Dogwood and cottonwood, mountain ash and larkspur, Juicy, acrid
bloodroot -- then, a gentle tread In forest deep on yonder trail when day
is done! When all the West is lighted with the dying sun! Columbine and
deer tongue, blue flag and ginger cup, Maiden fern, trillium, each one in
retreat; Johnny-jump-up, violet, mayflower white, and green moss, Leafy
limbs that quiver as the tall trees meet In a stir of evening wind; and
swiftly then Falls the twilight on the trail, and on the woody glen. Din
of battle over, and tread of hurrying feet, Bullets' whizz and trench-fire
are long since passed away. A rider comes on woodland trail, as dusk lay
in the forest, Who passes many an old-time haunt, clothed now in sun-set
ray! He's back from gore-stained fields of France, beyond the mighty
foam; He helped bring Peace to all mankind - so now, he's home! he's
home! -- -- ~- -----~-~-~-----~-~ ~ _J

KLIPSUN T e Unmarked Trail The Sailor speaks- I may pray in vain for the
wild, wild nights of life in the open sea- Those days when I kept to the
Unmarked Trail that never again may be! For my ship, she has sailed for
realms remote and far from my land of birth; She has slipped the bars of
the Golden Gate and heads for the end of earth! Oh! Gladly I'd hail the
sting of the spray-I'd wade in brine to my neck Could I feel today the
tilt of my ship, and plank my feet on her deck! They have sewed on my
sleeve a discharge stripe, and tell me that I am free, Free from that
portion, the lot of the "gob"-a gob on the open sea! They tell me again
that lucky I am, with life and with love before. My mate can't they see
that life if behind, that love is a closed door? They have shut me up in
ten by twelve to sit here and push a pen, And they call that life, and
they ask me why I long for the sea again! Yet here o'er my ledger I dream
once more of the days that never can be, While my ship sails on by the
Unmarked Trail that leads away to the sea. I've traveled the deep from the
Guernsey Isles to lands of the Southern Cross; I've broken the laws of God
and man, and I've killed my Albatross; I've suffered the curse of the
"evil eye," and I've drifted at sea afar. But instead of the pen, I've
held the wheel, and I steered by a guiding star! I've seen the crimson of
the bursting mines in the sunset's after glow, And the grey-streaked
terror, stained with blood, whom we sent to death below. All these I
saw, and was unafraid, still undismayed I went forth; For blessed was I
with a holy joy-I loved a lass of the North. But faith, it can waver and
vanish, and love, it can wither too; So give me my ship on the ocean, the
only lass that is true; And we'll leave for the sea together by way of the
Unmarked Trail; We shall have a placid clearing, and not the sign of a
gale; At the Golden Gate our skipper shall lift for us the bars, And
there in the glow of sunset, we'll set our course by the stars. - IRENE

.. K. IPSUN 'e Training School The work in the Training School this year
has lived up to its already- established high reputation. The faculty of
this particular de-p) artmnent of Normal work has been strengthened by the
return of one of its former members, Miss Cath-erine Montgomery, and the
addi-tion of Misses Charleton, Morse, Moffatt, Wallace and Tompkins.
The work of the Junior Red Cross was carried over from last year most
successfully. The en-rollment was 100% of all Training School Students.
The allotments of work to be done were sent direct from Seattle to
Normal. As far as athletics are concerned, the following qluotation from
the Normal Messeniler shows the ability and school spirit of our juvenile
athletes: " Too much cannot be said in praise for the splendid record the
Normal Training School basketball teams have established for themselves.
During the season just closed, our boys won five out of six games played,
and they acquitted themselves remarkably well throughout. Jack \Vhittakcr,
who coached the boys, may justly be proud of the results attained. "
There were two organized teams, one comlposed of eighth grade boys, and
the other of both eighth and ninth. The eighth grade team was cominosed of
the following: Edgar Foster, Nor-man Carr, Cyrus Neilson, Howard
McClannahan, Ray Smith, Hubert Boone, Vance Radovyck and Ralph lHennes.
The follow-ing made up the eighth and ninth: Nor:man Carr, Leslie Stuart,
Cyrus Neilson, Howard McClannahan, Vinton Groat and Gordon Broadbent.
"The schedule of games played with the results follows: Normal 14, vs.
Lowell 10; Normal 22, vs. Lowell 6; Normal 29, vs. Whatcom Freshmen 24;
Normal 29, vs. Whatcom Freshmen 28; Normal 31, vs. Y. M. C. A.
Intermediates 28; Normal 17, vs. Y. M. C. A. Intermediates 28." K

KLIPSU N In the lower grades, under the able supervision of the Misses
Montgomery, Charlton, Moffatt, Tompkins and Gray, the little tots made
splendid progress during the year, even though the " flu " hindered them.
It is an inspiration to see the halls and rooms decorated with the work of
these youngsters, some of which might put older people to shame. One of
the valuable additions to the numerous advantages given pupils of the
Training School this year is the juvenile library. In a room, especially
furnished, these juvenile books are attractively displayed. That such a
library has been long wanted is evidenced by the eagerness and enthusiasm
as displayed about it by all, even the littlest tots. Our Normal School
has sent cadets into the city school sys-tems of both Everett and
Bellingham, where they have met with great success in their work under the
able supervision of Miss Drake in Everett and Mrs. Samson and Miss Nellie
Lee in Bell-ingham. Miss Earhart, the efficient principal of the entire
Training School, is responsible for much of the success of this year.
Through many difficulties she has raised the standard, and bears the
loyalty and good-will of the pupils and student-teachers alike. KAI K m ~

future teams busy to equal. They won five games out of six played. The
first two games were played with the Lowell Grammar School, when our boys
easily sent their opponents to defeat. The next games Coach Whittaker took
the boys out of their class and put them up against the Whatcom High
Freshmen. The Freshmen gave the bovys a hard fight hbut sunerior team work
gave our team both victories. The final two games were played with the Y.

REVELATIONS OF THE ALETHEIAN SOCIETY In the beginning was a synagogue for
teachers on a hill, and the synogogue was without life and a gloom was
upon the faces of all therein. And a spirit took form and moved upon the
faces of a few, and the few said, "Let there be clubs"-and there were
clubs. And the people saw the clubs that they were good, and they
divided themselves among the clubs. And the evening and the morning was
long ago. Then another few said, "Let there be another club among the
clubs and verily it shall be liter-ary." And the club was called
Aletheia, which being interpreted means truth. And the forests brought
forth an owl which is the bird of wisdom, and laid it at the feet of
Aletheia. And it was morning 1916. And it came to pass that -Jt Seventy

Klipsun, 1919 - Page 71

Aletheia waxed strong and flourished as a green bay tree, and the club
grew and became mighty because of its members. Now Bertha. of the tribe of
Crawford, Supervisor, raising herself to her full height, called to her
assistance one Exean Woodard, known throughout the synagogue as Dean, and
behold, they had the interests of the club at heart, and the fame of it
was noised abroad into all that synagogue, so that the multitudes
loitering in the corridors thereof were heard continually to ex-claim,
"What is this great thing that hath come to pass among us!" And
straightaway came the multitudes to the doors of the tabernacle,
beseeching admittance therein. And lo. throughout that age there was much
rejoicing and feasting in the tabernacle of Aletheia. Four days did they
labor, and on the night of the forth the trumpet of the jubilee was
caused to sound and they did eat and were merry. Moreover, not only were
these occasions of feasting, but many and great were the problems
propounded-yea even unto art, literature, music and science. And the
evening and the morning was 1919. Now a voice which was heard as it were a
trumpet saith, "Come up hither and I shall shew thee things which will be
hereafter," and behold we saw greater things than these which were to come
to pass, and lo, a great multitude clothed in raiment that neither mud nor
dust can corrupt. And a smile is upon the faces of all, and verily it is a
week-end festival of the Aletheians. And it came to pass that the name of
Aletheia waxed mighty throughout the length and breadth of the synagogue,
and its members loved it exceedingly. And the deeds of Aletiheia became
an example for the clubs of other synagogues. Yea, though we walk through
the valleys and shadows of life, yet shall we fear no evil, for thy
influence, 0 Aletheia, is with us, memories of thee, they comfort us,
thou restoreth our soul, thou leadeth us in the paths of understanding
and truth for thy name's sake. Surely love and appreciation for thee
shall follow us all the days of our life, and we shall think of thee
kind-ly forever. A Seventyone Seventyone Lb I ______ K

social club this year. The first trip of the season was a hike to Lake
Padden on March 29th. The weather was ideal for picnicking. A hearty
dinner was eaten around a crackling campfire. Later, hikes were made to
Lake Whatcom, Chuckanut and Inspiration Point. The visit to Vancouver, B.

good times which the club members enjoyed is due Mr. Heckman because of

Treasurer Reporter Sponsor The Alkisiah Club stands as one of the most
successful clubs in the school. It was organized in 1906. Miss Baker was
requested to be club advisor by the organizers, and from that time she has
been, not only an ardent worker in the club, but a real friend and advisor
to each girl member. Through her un-failing inspiration and the interest
of the members, the club has been able to accomplish its aim in literary
work. Programs have been interesting and instructive. The first
semester's meetings were devoted to the study of Finland. This began with
a map study of Finland that created the desire to travel through that land
of lakes and fens. This was followed by the story of the rediscovery of
their epic poem, "The Kalevala." The study of the quaint customs and
legends of those people with illustrations from their myths, and finally a
short history of that much troubled little land. The study of copies of
fam- ous art productions in the Nor-mal building and their respec-tive
artists was taken up the sec-ond semester. This study was given in talks

the other photographic collections. This course was equally interest-ing.

the programs. The first big social event of the year was a trip to Miss
Baker's cabin at Lummi Island, taken on the twenty-seventh of September.
All who went had a most delightful time. On January first and March first
were held the initiation parties, both proving interesting and successful.
The Christmas party that was to be given at the home of Mrs. Jenkins, was
planned and well under way, but influenza stopped all operations. The
party was given on the sixtenth of April, instead, and all went in
pinafores and pigtails, casting aside cloaks of dignity for the time
being. On the fourteenth of February the Juniors of the club enter-tained
the Seniors at a banquet at the Leopold, a continuation of an old
established custom of the club. Mrs. G. W. Nash and her mother, Mrs.
Fuller, were the guests of honor. In keeping with the ideal of service,
the club held a candy sale on January the twentieth, and the proceeds were
given to the Armenian Relief Fund. On March twentieth, Mrs. Foster of
this city, gave a very interesting talk on her experiences while teaching
in Northern Alaska. Another interesting feature was the Arbor Day program
given by the clubs of the school. The aim was to beautify the campus of
our dear old Alma Mater. And now all members look with sorrow to the time
when they must of necessity dissolve union, but there will linger in
their hearts, unchangeable by time's rough seas, happy memories of our
times spent in congenial fellowship. "Memory brightens o'er the past, As
when the sun, concealed Behind some cloud that near us hangs, Shines on a
distant field." -- ()NGFELLO Seventy-five

the Magic Circle was formed. Many meeting have been devoted to war work,
combined with music, readings, and "spreads." The "spread" at Miss
Earhart's apartments deserves honorable mention. The Club adopted a little
French war orphan, and have re-ceived many interesting letters concerning
her. To its faculty members the club gives credit for anything of value
which it has been able to accomplish this year. Long will we remember the

KL IPSU NP This has been the banner year for the Ohiyesa Club. Miss Gray
and Miss Milne, the club sponsors, have made possible through their good
counsel and interest, much of the rapid growth and success of the club.
In September was held the first reunion at Squalicum Beach, around a camp
fire. Throughout the year our programs have been based upon the holidays
of each month. The club did its " bit " at the students' mixer in February
by giving the shadow play, " Mary Jane." In March, Miss Milne and Miss
Gray entertained the club at a social meeting with great success. Perhaps
no reference should be made to initiation. All can-not be told of it, but
nose races, aerial flights and blood-curdling scenes of terrible warfare
and living torture took place. Let us bury the past. Esther Stuber
delightfully entertained the club in her home, in April. Every club member
will long remember that evening. Another party each club member cannot
forget, is the Garden Hall party. At that party everyone enjoyed herself
to the full extent of the law. By faithful and harmonious work the club
has accomplished its original aim and the interest of the new members
gives encouragement for the future. Those members who go out of school
this spring leave with a wish for the success of Ohiyesa, and may its
standard always proclaim it in all its enterprises, " The Winner."

Treasurer Early this spring, a group of about fifty Eastern Washing-

members have had many good times together. It has been proved beyond doubt
that there is a curious bond of friendship that links all of one land
together when they find them-selves in a far distant and unknown country.
Who of those there will ever forget the house party at Lake Whatcom? How
everyone did enjoy the club house with its fire-place, piano, and easy
chairs! There were also the many boat rides on the lake itself, which have
an especial attraction for those who have no opportunity to enjoy such
privileges at home in Eastern Washington. Every member will long remember
our yell given under the leadership of "Red" Beardslee! Often and often
this spring the echoes have rung with: "Sagebrush and fields of grain,.

Secretary-Treasurer Centuries ago, when the foundation of history was
assuming the strength and proportion necessary to sustain the burden of
future civilization, the adamant rocks of Delphi gave issue to oracular
fumes of superstition. Men journeyed to this place to gain the knowledge
for which their restless natures yearned. They believed in the veracity of
the Oracle, and believing, they knew. One day a group of travelers entered
the mystic sanctums of Delphi. They were prominent men of ancient Athens.
The cold realities of the present dissolved into obscurity, and the seers
were gazing at a marvelous picture, a picture animated by strange beings
with strange costumes. They were sitting about a camp fire in the jungles
of Whatcom Falls Park. The solemn roar of the fall itself could be
distinctly heard, while the phantom-like shadows of the campers danced in
grotesque array among the nearby trees. But hush, one Ernest Kobelt was
speaking, while the rest did heed in rapt attentiveness. He related
hideous tales about bears and catamounts that he did overcome and sub-due,
how at one time he did descend through the hollow of a tree to the domain
of a ferocious grizzly bear and, with but the aid of a cork-screw, urge
said grizzly to leave his domicile. As the speaker concluded his harrowing
narrative, he was rewarded with ejaculations of wonderment and awe.

Klipsun, 1919 - Page 87

The picture faded, as does a vivid dream when the sleeper is disturbed,
but another took in its place. Our Grecian wights gazed upon the same
gathering, but under vastly different circulm-stances. The oracle
portrayed a large, beautifully furnished room. People were sitting around
tables, shaking little cubes of wood with letters upon them. It was
evident that a game of some sort was in progress. Moving about among the
company and smiling quietly to himself and everyone else, was observed a
tall, scholarly looking gentleman, often addressed as Mr. Phillipi. It
could plainly be seen that he was sponsor and host of the proceed-ings -
that he was entertaining them in honor of an important event. It was the
birthday party of a great organization. Other pictures of interest
appeared and vanished. These showed different members of the same
organization busy at various occupations of work and amusement. And they
showed themselves capable of entering just as heartily into one as in the
other. In fact, many were called upon to act as leaders in school
activities, and they performed their duties with efficiency and dispatch.
A most interesting portrayal of this congenial body of young people was
that describing their week-end party in the wilds of Lake Whatcom. Nature
seemed determined to outwit the happy plans of the party by calling down
unending floods of rain, but in this she was unsuccessful. Each camper
wore a smile that could not wash off, and went about his duties, social
and other-wise, with joy and sincerity. A few accidents occurred, which
only made the occasion a success. One of the campers attempted to step
from a row-boat onto a float--but, sad to relate, he missed the float. An
enterprising youth started to take a party of ladies for a launch ride
-and ran out of gasoline. Two of the boys " borrowed " a row-boat - and
were caught. But the most beautiful picture was that showing the campers
grouped around a glorious beach fire, singing, telling stories and
otherwise enjoying the friendly companionship which no human being should
be so unfortunate as to lack. And it was on this scene that the Grecian
seers saw the picture slowly fade, and felt the realities of their
present, hum-drum existence intrude upon their minds. They left the
mystic, enchanted atmosphere of Delphi fully realizing that they had seen
the work and play of the Philomnatheans -- Lovers of Learning.

S4KLIPSU N I turned to see from whence came that familiar air. To my
surprise and delight, I recognized Leo Brewer, an old school-mate of mine
at the Bellingham State Normal. We had scarcely exchanged greetings, when a
cheer arose from those on deck, and we turned for a last look at the
Statute of Liberty, standing out in bold relief against the glowing
afternoon sky. "We can now partially appreciate the emotions of our
sol-dier boys when they left New York ten years ago," he said, as we
sought the comfort of some steamer chairs. "I take it that you, too, are
bound for Paris to attend the International Education Association, " Upon
my answer in the affirmative, he started to reminesce. "The year when we
were at Bellingham-that was in 1918-1919, was it not?-was rather a
discouraging one for the Rural Life Club, but we were not the only
sufferers from the Iflu.' At any rate, we more than made up for a bad
beginning." " Indeed we did," I warmly agreed. " The Christmas party was
a success even though it did come after the New Year. I still laugh over
the way Patty and Zeramba looked after the initiation at the Valentine
Party." "They resembled Indians in war p)aint," laughed Mr. Brewer. "Do
you remember that idea of having sectional meetings? I have carried out
the same plan in our high school literary society. Public speaking with
Mr. Klemme was surely a pleasure. By the way, did you know that he is on
this same boat?" "No," I exclaimed in delighted surprise, "then we
certainly must find him. Perhaps he can tell us if Miss Keeler and Mr.
Coughlin still keep up the music and dramatic sections. How I should like
to pay the club a visit ! " "Same here!" he responded with boyish
enthusiasm. "Last year I attended the Rural Life Conference, but did not
enjoy it half as much as the one in 1919. Every member worked hard to
make that conference a success. I still keel) my gray and crimson badge
among my sacred relies." "Has our Arbor Day shrub-bery survived ? " I
asked. " Survived ? Every spring they say it is the most beauti-ful
clump on the carmpus " Thus talking and laughing over our club, and the
happy days we spent at Bellingham Normal, we realized how very much the
Rural Life Club had meant in our lives. Ninetyone

[KLIPSUN - The Memoirs gf a Thespian " Rah! Rah! Rah ! Rah! Rah Rah! Rah!
Rah!! Everybody here's a Thespian!" So vividly did I dream, that I
started violently up and looked about for the old familiar faces. Of
course there was nothing to be seen but the inky blackness outside the
glow of the dying fire and the laughing moon and the jolly little stars
overhead. Soon the fire was crackling away right merrily and I lay down
again to let my imagination paint pictures in the flames. I remembered
the first Thespian meeting in the fall of 1918. The faces were all strange
with the exception of one old member, Mrs. Higginson. But our heart's
desire was for dramatics and with that bond to hold us together we
determined to make Thes- pian the club of the school. " Did we do it?"
And even as I laughed at the sound of my own voice in the stillness I
waited for that circle of faces there in the fire to shout "Aye! " For so
thinks every loyal Thespian. Then came the picture of the dull days when
the "flu" raged in our midst. Quickly passing that I came to the second
quarter when " Sis " Ober and " Red " Beardslee, Thespians of former
years, came back to us. With the aid of Ab Hennes, whose loyal Thespian
heart brought him back on club nights, they guided us into the paths of
true Thespianism. I laughed as I thought of our wild debates over a
Thespian play, and felt a little sad, too, to think that we could not
arrange to have it in the spring when we were all there. Big plans were
made, however, for what should be done during the summer session. Then
came the last quarter and the return of " Bill " Nobles with all his
Thespian pep. How the time flew from then until the annual banquet and we
closed the year with one riotous evening over the festal board. Ninety

lt;KLIPSUN The Young Housekeepers The Young Housekeepers is an
organization founded by Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, in 1916, for the
purpose of pro-moting sociability and maintaining high standards of living
among the many young women students who prefer to do their own
housekeeping. Meetings are called from time to time in which problems of
mutual interest are discussed. These busi- ness meetings are sometimes
varied with musical numbers by some of the many talented members. During
the war, Hooverized programs were given at which the following line of
topics pre-vailed: " Substitutes for Meat and Wheat," " How to Keep Up
Nutrition and Keep Down Expense," "Tasty and Nutritious Dishes from
Left-overs." The one big event of the year is the Young Housekeepers'
mid-winter picnic. This is held in the big " gym," each family group
seated around its own red table cloth and indulging in house "yells " and
songs. Crossed frying pans furnish mural decorations, while broomsticks
stacked like rifles add the military touch, and gay festoons of yellow
grocery bills make the old " gym " a fitting bower for the festive
occasion. When we have played until the whistle is a welcome sound, we
seat ourselves " Turkish fashion " and have an open forum in which each
con-tributes her bit along the line of little economies which she has
discovered, the best places to buy, a good recipe for cheap cake, et
cetera. " Fun, friendship and physical fitness " is the slogan of the
Young Housekeepers. One hundred --~----.- ------ ----------- ~--- ----

year's work for the Normal Y. W. C. A. began with an all-day cabinet

made for the usual fall tasks of meeting trains and boats, and welcoming
the new girls with gifts of flowers. The first devotional meeting was
held Sunday, September the 15th, in the Association room. Dr. Nash gave
us a message of comfort and cheer, and pledged his hearty sympathy and
co-operation, and for the redemption of that pledge he has our deepest
gratitude. The two o'clock period was set aside on Thursdays for our
regular Association meetings. We have had many very interest-ing speakers,
Two weeks after the opening of school a reception was held on the third
floor of the Normal, to which the whole school was invited, and
especially the new girls. This proved to be the only social event in
school until the middle of December, as two weeks later the Normal was
closed indefinitely on account of the pre-vailing influenza. A tea was
served on Thanksgiving Day to those who could not reach their homes during
the one day allowed for a vacation. Mrs. Ethel Thompson, the assistant
dean of women, acted as our chief advisor until the new year, serving in
the place of Miss M. Belle Sperry, who is taking a year's leave of
absence. Influenza was the primary cause of our losing so valuable a
helper; the secondary cause was a gentleman by the name of Muir, who stole
her away from us to a beautiful home in Seattle. For a while we were like
a ship without a pilot, but our salvation was found in Miss Gertrude
Longley, head of the Home Economics Department. There are numerous Bible
and mission study classes scattered over the " Hill" and at the Y. W. C.
A. building. We desire to thank all the faculty members and others who
have made these classes possible. The Y. W. C. A. cafeteria has been
under the charge of Miss Grace Ryckman, to whom the whole school owes a
vote of thanks for the bodily comfort her hot lunches have been to the
school. One hundred two

and also for the Rural Life Conference. A beautiful recital was given

faithful attitude toward the organization has added much to the pleasure
and profit of the year's work. Upon several occasions, the quartette has
visited the smaller towns outlying Bellingham, giving recitals, furnishing
music for Liberty Bond drives and school programs. A splendid repertoir
was the result of continued and faithful practice. Much musical experience

for I shall have labored honestly and lovingly in the realiza-tion of an
ideal. - C. Valentine Kirby. Art competitions are familiar to all of us.
There are com-petitions in landscape studies, portrait painting, flower
composi-tions- all the many lines of so-called art. The Inland Printer
for March, 1919, calls attention to the result of a nation-wide
competition in letter-head arrangement. What is the meaning of this new
competition? It merely offers a concrete example of the growing feeling
that art and progressive industry are inseparable. The letterhead is a
business proposition; its arrangement is a matter of design. It may please
or offend as the design is good or bad. Business men are learning that
poor design is poor busi-ness. They are beginning to demand with greater
and greater insistence that the schools of the country send them workers
who can turn out an artistic product. But besides serving the ends of
industry, art is something that enters into the very fibre of our lives. It
takes the most common necessities of life - food, clothing and shelter -
and by a touch so light it seems accidental, transforms these into things
of charm and beauty. Unconscious art is the moving factor in all play, and
the hardest work may become like play through the magic of an art touch
that gives it rhythm, movement or color. If art has a real value in making
life itself livable plus a value in industry as a thing by which we live,
then, surely, art is too precious a thing to drop out of the minds and
hearts of our American boys and girls, men and women. Its value is great
today, but it will be greater tomorrow, and its greatness will increase
until its influence will be felt by all of us down into the minutest
details of our lives. Our art department has been an exponent of these two
essen-tial characteristics of art - a thing to live and a thing by which
to live. We have dwelt long and earnestly on the fundamentals of all true
art - honesty of purpose, good faith in execution, pride and pleasure of
accomplishment. Our work has borne out our definition of art as refined
commonsense. The work done by a class of girls from the home economics
department is one illustration of this. Their study of color and color
harmony was applied to making appropriate decorations for a luncheon
table, and afternoon tea, or, perhaps, a design for a school dress. Their
study of lettering was applied in the making of menu cards. The contents
of the home piece bags were utilized in the making of applique designs for
such varied articles as piano _7J One hundred eight

trans-formed ordinary gunny sacks into attractive porch pillows by adding
designs worked out in bright colored yarns. Another and entirely different
phase of the work has been the making of com-mercial posters by one of the
advanced drawing classes. One especially attractive set advertised foods;
another used the " Own your home " slogan, and a third developed "
fashions." These posters showed remarkable originality of thought as well
as skill of workmanship. There have been two exhibits of work during the
year. The first was held during the time of the Rural Life Conference,
when several hundred visiting teachers, principals and superintendents
passed through the four rooms of the art department. This exhibit had been
planned to be of special help to the teachers of the rural schools, and
the number of notebooks in evidence spoke eloquently of the appreciation of
the visitors. The second exhibit was held in May and was an unusually
attractive affair. The walls and tables were covered with excel-lent work
done during the year, the rooms were bright with flowers, and the Studio
Art Club girls served tea at beautifully appointed tables. An
exceptionally fine collection of baskets made by the basketry class was
one of the big features of the exhibit. Another phase of work shown was a
group of local landscapes in water color, and some splendid pencil
sketches by the advanced drawing classes. There was much work that could
be carried directly into grade classes, and the work was arranged in such a
way that the development from primary to intermediate, from intermediate
to upper grades could be easily seen and followed. The whole exhibit
carried out the idea that the real artist must see art in every walk in
life. -- -- -- -- -- One hundred nine

man to obtain a partner in life is to bring up a wife after his own
ideals. This he planned to do, but as Burns said, "The best laid plans of
mice and men gang aft aglee." Embury reared a wife, but reared her, as it

KLIPSUN TALBE MARSHALL SHUMWAY Junior-Senior Debate The annual
interclass debate took place in the auditorium on Wednesday morning, April
2. The question, " Resolved, that the United States Government should
permanently retain the control and operation of railroads,
constitutionality waived," drew best talent from the school. The Senior
team, composed of Ruth Lineberry, Helen Schwartze and William Edson, spoke
for the affirmative, while the Junior team, made up of Enid Shumway, Anna
Taube and Harold Marshall, argued for the negative. Sad to say, the Junior
team was awarded the decision. One hundred sixteen

E KLIPSUN EDSON SCHWARTZE LINEBERRY The first speaker for the affirmative
was Ruth Lineberry, who pointed out that out of sixty-five countries
having extensive rail-ways, sixty-one of these were successfully operated
by the gov-ernment, with economy and efficiency. Miss Lineberry's speech
was very forceful and convincing. Miss Taube was the first speaker for the
negative. She con-tended that in the private ownership and control of
railways, the average wage paid to employees was higher than during
govern-ment control. She also stated that more transportation could be
bought in the United States for a certain sum of.money than could be
bought in Europe for the same amount. Miss Taube brought out her points
very well, indeed, and her arguments were also forceful from the economic
point of view. One hundred seventeen

V4I Next came Miss Schwartze, the second speaker for the affirm-ative.
Miss Schwartze maintained that railroads under govern-ment control were
more unified and co-operative, whereas the privately managed and
controlled roads were managed for money and personal gain. Miss Schwartze
cited the cases of the Alaska railroad and the Panama railroad. Enid
Shumway was the second speaker for the Juniors. She claimed that
government ownership would be a positive menace to railroad efficiency.
Trained men, educated along this line, would be the only successful
operators, and besides, if the govern-ment were not strictly honest, the
public would be easily filched. The last speaker for the Seniors was
William Edson. He said that people and all they possessed should not be
entrusted to the care of a few capitalists, but should be placed in the
hands of the government. He pointed out that during time of war, the
Euro-pean government ownership was successful in getting men and supplies
to the front in less time than privately controlled rail-roads would have
done. Besides this, dividends were increased in the government controlled
railroads. Harold Marshall, the last speaker for the negative, made a
most brilliant speech. The rebuttals for each side were convincing and
each sum-marized points very cleverly. This debate is an annual
inter-class affairs of great import-ance. It was attended with a grand
show of class snirit. The judges were Mr. Charles I. Roth, Judge Craven

wiped the perspiration from his forehead as he started to leave the
gymnasium. The second team basketball had given the first a hard tussel.
Tomorrow night the big game between Hanford High and Burton was to come
off. " Gee! I wish I were a real player! " sighed Dick to himself, " but
I guess we second teamers are worth something just to keep the first in
practice." " Wait a minute, fellows! " Bob Lane, captain of the first
team, ran across the floor and stood with his back to the door. He studied
the slip of paper in his hand for a moment, then lifting his head with a
quick smile, read: " Lineup for tomorrow night, center, Olmstead;
forwards, Lane, Curtis; guards, San-ders, Rolman; subs, Kirkfield, Olson,
Gray. Now keep the diet rules. We must win this game." Then with a
laughing, " Excused," in imitation of one of their professors, Captain Bob
threw the door open and stepped aside to let the others pass. Dick stood
speechless, the basketball which he had been idly tossing up and down
poised ready for another toss. " Forwards, Lane, Curtis! Forwards, Lane,
Curtis! " kept drumming in his brain. Suddenly he saw Joe Prescott's white
face, the other side of the group. Why had Joe been put off? Dick's heart
filled with a strange pity - then a sudden anger at himself, " to be put
on the first team and then wish you weren't," he upbraided him-self, and
flung the basketball viciously under the bench. Joe glanced across quickly
and a smile hovered around his drawn lips as their eyes met. The other
boys were silently filing out. Joe was evidently waiting for Captain Bob.
This was what Dick had intended to do. " It won't do for both of us to
wait. I'll try to walk home with Bob," he decided, and hurried into the
dressing room. His mind's vision of Joe's white face was now changed to
the picture of a happy girl bending over a letter, and that letter was
from himself, telling of his new honor, but again Joe's white face would
take first place. " Pshaw! It's not my fault," he muttered, vig-orously
applying his towel after his shower. " But Joe has played on the team
every game this season and is as good as Lane," his conscience insisted.
Bob and Joe soon entered the dressing room. Dick spent a good deal of time
lacing his shoes and managed to leave the room just ahead of Captain Bob.
He waited on the steps and they passed down the walk together. Neither
spoke. Queerly enough, now that they were alone, Dick could think of no
way to broach the subject. He cleared his throat. Bob paid no attention
but walked on with a pre-occupied air. Dick eyed the set face angrily. One

,4K LIPSU N " Pity he can't say something. Maybe he's got a spite against
Joe." This notion was so out-of-place with all they had seen of their
splendid captain that Dick was intensely ashamed of himself for the
thought. He glanced uneasily at Bob - then, again clear-ing his throat,
began, "Say, I-I think those new bushes the gardener planted here look
fine, don't you? " It was not what he had intended to say. Bob started. "
What? Oh, yes! Fine! " he answered absent mindedly. Dick made another
try. "Going to the mixer Saturday night? " Bob did not seem to hear. Then
almost startling himself by his abruptness, Dick had it out. " Bob," he
cried sharply, " what's the matter with Joe? Why is he put off the team? "
Bob halted, hands in pockets. " I'm sorry, Dick, but it's not a matter for
publication," he said crisply. They walked on. Bob's manner forbade further
questioning. " Well, here's where I turn off. Good-night, Dick," and
contrary to his usual custom, Bob turned down a side street. Dick stood
staring after him. " Well, I'll be switched! " he ejaculated. Soon the
new member of the Hanford High basketball team was in his own room.
Flinging his books on the table, he sat down to think. But his thoughts
were not pleasant ones. " I need new shoes if I am to play tomorrow night,
so I may as well go down town and get them." He was soon on his way,
following a short-cut that led down through the railway yards. As he
reached the yards a log train was slowly puffing through. Idly watching,
Dick was thinking about the possible history of the trees. Suddenly he
sprang erect. The second side log of the car now passing was slipping.
Yes, a stave which evidently had held it in place lay teetering on the
log below. Ten feet in front of him an Italian workman was shoveling sand.
The log would surely strike him. And his back was towards it! Dick's flesh
grew cold in horror. Then at the same instant that he was saying, " Oh,
well, he's only a Dago," a sweet girlish face with a reproachful
expression flashed through his brain. He sprang forward and flung his
shoulders against the loose end of the log with all his furious young
strength. The loose end swayed back towards the car. The workman, awakened
to his danger by Dick's scream, dropped flat and with a quick roll just
escaped the log. But the boy's force on the loose end acted as a lever to
the whole log. It bounded off the car and Dick was pinned securely beneath
it. Other workmen came hurrying from all directions. They soon extricated
the lad and sent him to the hospital. One leg was broken and the other
badly bruised. The next day dragged by as though the minutes were
weighted down. The nurse brought him a morning's paper. Glaring headlines
announced, " High School Boy Saves Life of Italian Laborer." And oh!
horrors! there was a picture of himself. With a feeling akin to anger and
disgust, he thrust One hundred twenty-one P~i~ 1 ---- ~

KKLIPSUN Half an hour later, the new boy suddenly sat up in bed. " Shivah
mah timbahs! " he hollered. " Shivah mah timbahs! " and began pounding his
bed clothes with clinched fists. "Ah'll pound you to a jelly-- yuh
wall-eyed, sniveling cabbage." By this time two nurses had reached the
bedside and forced the boy down into the bed again where he lay
struggling and muttering out vague threats. A doctor was coming swiftly
down the room to the assistance of the nurses. Suddenly the light of
conscious-ness dawned in the wild eyes. The boy lay back quietly and stared
at the nurses. " Where am I?" he gasped. " Where's Joe?" " You were run
over by an auto, but you'll be all right soon." "Oh!" exclaimed the panic-
stricken boy. "Tell Marse Blakely tah come quick. Tell Joe tah come. Ah'm
gon-a die! Ah knows Ah'll die! " " Here, here now! " interposed the
doctor sternly, giving the boy's shoulder a shake. " Stop that racket!
You're not going to die." " Oh, but Joe did'en tak' the money. Ah was mad
cause he licked me fo' eatin' Miss 'Anson's choc'late creams. I)at money
is under Miss 'Anson's blotter-pad this minute. Oh, Lord, for-give me! "
The light of understanding had dawned in the doctor's face and his lips
were twitching with a strong desire to laugh, as he said, " Well, if you
promise to keep still, I'll call Mr. Blakely." "Ah promise," and the
darkey boy closed his mouth tightly and stared wildly at the ceiling. Dick
reached up and gave his electric bell an energetic push. A nurse came
hurrying to him. " What time is it?" he asked abruptly. " Four-forty,"
answered the nurse, glancing at her wrist watch. " Will you call Main
6402 for me and tell Bob Lane to come down here just as quick as he can?
Tell him it's important and he must come." The nurse glanced quizzically
at her patient, then with a pleasant " I'll try," departed on her errand.
Twenty minutes later Bob was at the hospital. His face was anxious and
puzzled. " What's up? " he questioned. It did not take Dick long to
explain. Mr. Blakely had entered the ward a few minutes before and with a
relieved look on his face was now leaving. Bob followed him outside and
then stepped up to him. "Pardon me! Mr. Blakely," he said. Mr. Blakely
turned and eyed the young captain up and down. Bob flushed crimson and
felt very awkward, but struggled on. "I am Bob I,ane." The financier
extended his hand, with a genial smile. " Captain of Burton High
basketball team? " " Yes," said Bob, rather surprised, and hurried on. "
My friend just happened to overhear your office boy's confession. Joe has
been one of our best players and we had to put him off because of that
theft. Now if we could get the proof -- " " He could play tonight,"
finished the financier. " Come along to my office and we'll find out right
away." _.._...... .. ..... One hundred thewty-three

way. "I used to play basketball myself," explained the big man, " and I'd
do anything in my power to help Burton High win and to make amends to
Joe." The bills were discovered where the darkey boy had placed them. "
Good! " exclaimed Mr. Blakely fervently, as he drew them forth. Mr.
Blakely, Bob, and the auto were kept very busy the next half hour with the
result that when the boys' Burton High team ran onto the floor that
evening, Joe was among them. " Eat 'em up! Eat 'em up! " howled the
Hanford lines. One hundred voices from the Burton lines hurled out
triumphantly, "Stop your racket, Stop your fuss, Stop your howling, And
watch us! " And Hanford answered back: " Rickety rick-rack! Chickety
chick-chack! Give them the horse- laugh, Ha! Ha-a!" The teams were very
evenly matched and the game was fast and furious throughout. The final
score stood 25-20 in favor of Burton. As soon as visitors were allowed
next morning, Bob, with face alight, was again standing by Dick's bedside.
" Dick," he exclaimed happily, " we played a winning game; but it wouldn't
have been possible without Joe, or without you, for you made it
possible." " They would have found out Joe was innocent, if I hadn't done
anything," protested Dick. " Yes, but not in time for the game. You've

AKKL PSUN 4. A Bachelor's Experience SECOND PRIZE STORY FLORENCE RICE I
am a government agent - along just what line is immaterial to my story,
except that my investigations led me through a wild and sparsely settled
region of the Middle West. It was here I stumbled onto a most remarkable
circumstance, the memory of which will never leave me - a thing
unanswerable, dreadful - yet of baffling interest. It all hinged upon so
simple a thing as a drink of water. I had traveled a weary way under the
hot August sun and was very glad, indeed, when I chanced upon an old well,
which stood some little way from a ramshackle log house. This was during
those troubled times when German treachery was being evidenced on every
hand. Thirsty as I was, I yet paused a second, trying to realize what the
poisoning of water supplies must have meant to thirst-maddened soldiers.
On top of that thought came another, most unwelcome. Such things were not
unknown in our own country! Suppose it were unsafe to drink from this
inviting fountain! Had I any right to risk my own life and jeopardize the
government interests with which I was intrusted? I thrust the idea aside
as being foolishly morbid and looked about for a bucket. First, I turned
the old-fashioned windlass, hoping to find one attached to the
weather-beaten rope. There was nothing there but the swinging end, which
appeared to have been severed with a knife. Disappointed, I looked
sharply about, but discovered nothing more than a bit of soft leather,
which had plainly once been a baby's shoe. The buttonholes were stretched
open from repeated fastening across some chubby little foot. Something
forlorn in its unexpected appearance in this wilderness caused me first to
pause and then slip it into my pocket. How universal is the appeal of a
baby! Here was I, a hard-headed professional man, a bachelor of
thirty-nine years and absolutely without the softening influence of
mother, sister or even a stray aunt - here was I, clumsily fingering a bit
ot chamois just because it had once covered a baby's pink foot! "What
strange creatures we men are! " I was thinking as I approached the house
in my search for a bucket. The door was slightly ajar. I rapped
perfunctorily, then stepped inside. The sight that met my eyes was most
disconcert-ing. The room was a dining room and kitchen combined.
Evi-dently a meal was in the process of preparation, for the table was set
for two and I noticed several pots and pans on the stove. The cabinet
doors stood open, revealing many-sized jars and tins . ,I-"' One hundred

----------
Klipsun, 1919 - Page 126

SKLIPSU N of spices, sugar, etc. All was just as it might be if the woman
of the house had stepped out to call dinner - all but the dust. There was
dust piled thick over chairs, tables and dishes. Cobwebs swung from the
rests on the stove, back and forth, and among the pots and pans. The floor
was so thick with dust that I looked behind to find my own footprints
staring boldly at me from the doorway. My curiosity was greatly aroused,
and I passed on into the next room. Here, again, was food for speculation.
Before a comfortable looking heater was drawn a low-back chair and on
the stand beside it a book lay, face down, as though the reader had
received sudden interruption. On a rack, by the stove, some clothes were
airing, which I recognized with a start as baby's garments. The thing was
getting on my nerves. Here was every evidence of recent habitation, while
the dust and the stillness were silent witnesses to the contrary. I turned
to go upstairs and nearly tripped over a baby's bottle lying hidden by the
dust and gloom. Upstairs, clothes were strewn about on the bed as if
hastily torn from the closets. Bureau drawers were half open while the only
sign of life was an old owl blinking peacefully from the rafters.
Nonplussed by the affair. I retraced my steps to the sitting room. What
possible fortune or misfortune had caused people to depart so hastily from
their home? What did it all mean? Looking about for a clue, I picked up
the book from the table. What I discovered there roused me instantly from
a state of dreamy wonderment to a practical realization of a serious
situa-tion. The book was a German text and from its pages dropped a
manuscript, the signature of which I knew only too well as belonging to
the leader of an organization most deadly to our government. Here was a
matter worth looking into and I determined to inquire at the first
opportunity. Literally shaking the dust of this place from me, I plodded
on into the twilight before reach-ing shelter with a hospitable farmer and
his wife. Inquiry from him and from others throughout the locality gave
me this information: A man and his wife had settled there nearly two
years before. Nothing was known of their previous history and very little
of their doings while there. They were often seen working together in the
fields. He was a silent man, forbidding in aspect, and his wife was
strangely unyielding to social advances. While there, a little child was
born which seemed to be continually crying. No one appeared to know when
they left or anything at all about their departure. The last seen of them
was February 20 when the above farmer had gone that way for a load of
wood. A date which he remembered since that load of wood made the last
payment on his place. His wife then reminded him that the house had been
deserted three days after that date, when they had stopped in on their way
to town. This narrowed the time of departure to three days, February 20,
21 and 22. 7 One hundred twenty-six

KLIPSUN ... ..... The next step was to question the stationmaster of the
lone depot, which formed the only means of exit. This was a pro-ceeding
which promised little at first, as his memory did not seem equal to the
occasion. Just as I was about to leave in despair, he "came to" with the
statement that his sister was married February 21. Irrelevant as the
remark appeared, it formed the basis for the following sworn statements.
On the day of his sister's marriage, while the bridal party were waiting
at the depot, he remembered distinctly seeing this fellow Black hanging
around with another man. He was very sure about it because he had his "
bloomin' old satchel " right in the road all the time. "'Peared like he
was skeered suthin' would happen to the old thing. Marthy was mighty
bothered fear folks might think he b'longed to her party - him and that
disgraceful lookin' baggage! Why they was great cracks split in the
leather an' the whole thing was fastened with - now what do you s'pose? "
demanded the old man; but I had no time for that. I wanted to know if any
one had left the day before or the day after. " No," grumbled the old
fellow, " all the excitement had to come to onct! Why couldn't them two
guys hev come the week before, when everything was so dead or when I was
so darn lonesome durin' the storm? Ye see we had a storm for the nex' ten
days an' not a soul come nigh!" That was enough for me and I rushed out,
flinging my thanks behind me as I went. Undoubtedly Black left on that
train and the man with him might have been his wife, but if so, where was
the baby? An ugly suspicion flashed into my mind that made me
involuntarily seek out the little shoe in my pocket and gave me a new
motive for search. The police records finally confirmed the
stationmaster's report, for a man and his wife dressed in man's garb, had
been arrested in a nearby city the evening of February 21. Documents on
their persons established their identity and guilt without ques-tion and
they had been sentenced to a long term. The only question now, was, what
had become of the baby? Maybe most people will think me a fool, but I
still have that little shoe in my pocket and I am still looking for my
answer. Black and his wife escaped, so that possible source of information
is 'gone. Every stone has been turned but without avail. Three possible
solutions chase each other through my mind as I turn the tiny footwear
over in my hand. First, I try to think that the poor baby may have died
from weakness and disease, before Black and his wife fled. To dispel this
comes a memory of tiny robes hung by the fire and a baby's bottle lying on
the floor. Then I fancy perhaps the child is alive somewhere today, and
that Black and his wife carried it off in their strange baggage. Perhaps
they cut the rope from the well to secure it better. How I wished I had
let the old stationmaster talk when he wanted to! But even so, how had
they gotten rid of it so quickly? The arrest was made immediately as they
left the train and though their baggage was searched no mention was made
of a baby. Always there comes back that lurking suspicion - the shoe lying

KLIPSU E The " W" HONORABLE MENTION WINNIE SPIESEKE The house was what
nearly all who passed called " The House of Dreams," for it represented
the ideal home that everyone plans more or less definitely some time in
life. It wasn't what an archi-tect would call " stylish " and the garden
wouldn't have suited the ideas of a modern landscape gardener. The house
itself, a small, plain, white building with green shutters and the same
colored roof, nestled peacefully among the trees and flowers. It had age
and stability that can only be acquired after generations of people have
passed through its rooms. From the chimney curled a thin, blue smoke, that
added the human touch to the scene; for where fire is, there is life. As
the sun was low in the West, the birds were chirping their last farewells
to the day, and over the garden descended the quiet and peace of twilight.
The frag-rance of the hollyhocks, the jasmines, the roses, the pansies,
the phlox and all the ohter beautiful, old-fashioned flowers blended
together into a delicate odor that spoke of rest and peace. That was what
the house had different from other dwellings. It was peace and harmony,
not the peace that comes from inactivity, but the peace that comes after
the battle has been fought and the victory won. Over one of the flower
beds that was bordered with candy-tuft, and which had been recently spaded
and raked, bent an old lady. With the handle of the hoe she was very
skilfully marking off a large "W" in the center. When the lines were
straight enough to suit her, she carefully and tenderly lifted from a box
beside her a bunch of forget-me- nots and planted them on the line. One
bunch after another she planted until in the center of the bed was a large
" W " made of these little blue flowers. Rising slowly, she stood and
watched the man as he gently sprinkled the little plants with an
old-fashioned sprinkling can. After this was done and the man had gathered
up his tools and gone off, she stood a long time gazing at the W with eyes
that saw not, for she was buried in thought. A large, white Angora cat
came down the walk and rubbed his head against her skirts. As if slowly
bringing her thoughts back to the present, she stooped and picked him up,
and carrying him under one arm, she slowly made her way to the house and
disappeared within doors. It was night and the garden was in darkness,
but from three of the windows of the house a soft amber light flowed out
and lighted up a small space before each window. Looking into the room
one saw first the white-haired lady as she sat in the large A. wicker
chair beside the table. At one side of her stood the large One hundred

with special kindness over the regular wrinkled features as she sat
knitting on some socks. Noticing that the light from one of the mantel
lamps fell directly on the bird cage, and so kept the little songster from
sleep, she arose and turned it off, and picking up a piece of black cloth
carefully covered the outside of the cage so as to keep out all the
remaining light. Then as she came back to the table, she opened the drawer
in it and took out a photograph of a young man. He was dressed in a
United States officer's uniform and one could see that he was the woman's
son, for he had the same regular features, the piercing eyes and the
strong mouth. His face showed courage and character as did the face of the
woman who bent over the picture. But in both was the peace that comes with
spiritual life, that which most people call " that something." As she
looked at the picture the woman's eyes lost their stare and slowly filled
with tears, and her face seemed to tremble as if she were suppressing
powerful emotion. Blindly she groped for the little Bible that lay near
the reading lamp, and propping the picture up so that it faced her, she
took the Bible and from out of it she took a letter, postmarked France.
With trembling fingers she took the letter out of the envelope and re-read
the contents: France, April 16, 1918. To the Dearest Mother: Please
don't worry because this letter comes from a hospital, for really I am
sure I am not badly hurt, as I have no pain at all. We went "over the top"
two days ago and I got along very well, until on the second day a piece of
shrapnel got me in the left shoulder. I like the hospital, for everything
is clean and every-one kind. One of the head doctors used to be one of my
profs. at college, and so I consider myself lucky. By the way, mother, I
am sending you a piece of the wild forget-me-not that the nurse brought
me. It was very nice of her to do it, for you know how I like flowers.
She says that they grow near here wild like the dande-lions do at home. She
just came in now and told me I must stop and so I will finish this letter
later. W That was all, but as she carefully opened the second sheet, a
piece of a dried flower fell into her lap. She picked it up and put it
near the picture before she re-read the second letter. France, April 18,
1918. My Dear Madam: I hope this short note will bring a grain of comfort
to you in your sorrow. Your son, madam, let me say, was one of the finest
young Americans I have ever met. He was a student of mine while at
college, but I hadn't seen him for a very long time until he was brought
into my ward mortally wounded in the shoulder. He thought it was just a
scratch because there was no pain, as we kept him under powerful drugs. He
started a letter to you, but the =7 ~Nf- One hundred thirty 'iii tI;i

I was inspecting my patients I found him in a bad condition, but
conscious. He said he wanted the ietter, for then for the first time he
realized that his time was short. I suggested that he just sign his name,.
but he said "No, always, 'with love.' " And that "W " at the end of his
letter is all that he was able to do, for his strength gave out. He died
shortly after, but he was conscious up to the end, telling me over and
over again to write to you. His was a fine spirit. We'buried him in the
little cemetery behind the hospital in the officers' plot. As it is
customary here, a bunch of forget-me-nots was planted on the mound under
the shadow of the little cross. cross. May I close by saying that your
son was brave, courageous and noble and that the cause, for which he so
gallantly fought and died, will surely be victorious with such men as your
son fighting in its defense. Yours very sincerely, MAJOR B. S. BLACK.
American Hospital No. 97, France. Slowly the little woman put the letters
and the sprig back in the envelope, and picking up the much-worn Bible,
she turned to the Twenty-third Psalm and as she read a look of harmony
and of reliance filled her face, and when she put the letter and the
picture in its place in the drawer she said softly as if to her-self, in
a calm, sweet voice, " Thy will be done." Out in the garden the next
morning the little blue forget-me- nots of the "W " turned their faces
towards the rising sun, and all was peace. One hundred thirty-one

IKL IPSUN A Vision SECOND PRIZE POEM WILLIAM EDSON The countless
daisies in the fields, Like stars that dot the skies at night, Had strewn
the quiet meadow land With twinkling beams of light. And there upon a
grassy slope I lay, and scanned the blue above, As if to see if earth or
sky Had more of nature's love. So tranquil was the day that soon My eyes
were closed in peaceful sleep, And then across my consciousness I felt a
vision creep. I looked upon the throbbing world It seemed, and all men
gaily went About their tasks as if at play, And all appeared content.
But as I watched, the sky grew dull, And far away appeared a cloud Of
sable hue and frightful mien, It seemed a ghastly shroud. It grew quite
black and terrible, And coming swiftly nearer by, It seemed a mighty
genie, who Decreed that men should die. I tried in vain to shriek, as one
Will do in dreams, but then I saw That men on earth were not afraid,
But merely filled with awe. The young man talked with deep concern, The
old man gravely shook his head, And then from every walk of life, No
matter where it led, Men mutely dropped their tasks in hand Nor pausing
once to look behind, Strode quickly toward the gath'ring cloud Which
threatened all mankind. One hundred thirty-two

SKL IPSUN N The monster hovered on the earth, And there was little time
allowed, But hosts of men marched bravely forth And disappeared within
the cloud. I saw that mothers' hearts were torn, And many anguished
sweethearts cried, But then behold the cloud grew light, And on the other
side I saw a host come marching out Beneath the fading, misty screen,
And every man was clad alike In dullish yellow-green. The host of men
came marching back. They laughed and joked as if at play, And yet the
band seemed not so large As when it marched away. The men took up their
tasks again, And all was as it was before - But suddenly the vision
ceased. I tried to dream some more, But found that I was wide awake. The
birds were singing sweetly still, And there was yet the hum of bees And
babbling of the rill. I then arose upon my feet To brush away the grass
and flow'rs That hung upon my coat. I felt As if I'd slept for hours. And
then I paused, for I beheld I brushed a coat of yellow-green Just like
the men had worn within The vision I had seen. But how this vision
changed me thus, Or why it had been planned, Or what it meant, or its
result I cannot understand. It surely must have been a dream. What else
could it have been? But still, there lies that yellow suit Where I have
laid it in. Perhaps, at some far distant time, When doubts are gone and
spent, I'll better understand the thing, And what it all has meant. One

E KKLIPSU N Among Our Visitors BESS GEARHART MORRISON One of the most
delightful evenings of the year was spent November 26, when Mrs. Bess
Gearhart Morrison, one of America's distinguished readers in Chautauqua
and lyceum work, enter-tained with readings in the auditorium. Mrs.
Morrison has had wide experience in lyceum work, and, consequently, knows
just how to please her audiences. Her ease of manner, her method of
presenting her readings and her selec-tion of subjects on the simple,
every-day occurrences of life endear her to all. Every number she gave was
enjoyed, but, per-haps, her audience will hold longest memories of "
Mirandy Ann," " Under the Christmas Stars," " Old Glory," and last, her
real-istic description of " The Old-Fashioned Parlor." CHARLES C. GORST
The coming of the "bird man " was hailed with much joy. This was, indeed,
one of the rare treats of the year. Mr. Gorst whistled the familiar songs
of many of our outdoor friends. This marvelous singing was accompanied by
enlarged pastel paintings, and a humorous, picturesque talk on the life
and habits of the feathered songsters. His personal experience of birds
as he has studied them in the depths of the forest, in meadows, and by sea,
lent much to the evening's entertainment. He left with us a new and
lasting enthusiasm for the beauty and usefulness of birds, and all went
forth giving his slogan, "A bird in the bush is worth two in the hand."
STRICKLAND W. GILLILAN Fortunate, indeed, was the Normal to have the
privilege of hearing Mr. Gillilan, prominent writer in American magazines,
and America's foremost humorist. True to his nature, he gave the spirit
of optimism, for the joy and enthusiasm he aroused in his audience in the
space of one hour, was really wonderful. Mr. Gillilan left with his
hearers a message of cheer, and he pointed out the duty to mankind in
performing services of kind-ness and happiness, especially during these
days of stress and responsibility. DR. H. H. POWERS Recognized as a
nation- wide authority on questions, national and international, because
of his extensive study and experience abroad, Dr. H. H. Powers, of Newton,
Mass., was able to give some unusually instructive and timely lectures
pertaining to the problems confronting the Peace Conference. His five
addresses covered these topics: " Punishment and Reparation; How Can
Germany Repair the Wrong She Has Done? " "National Resources; the Economic
Basis of Nationhood," "The New Nations," " The New Wards," " The League of
Nations and Its Sponsors." ---7-.- One hundred forty-one

K LPSUNR 4 DR. A. E. WINSHIP It was a pleasure to hear, April 10th, the
editor of " The New England Journal of Education," Dr. A. E. Winship, who
has, also, won fame as a speaker. His interesting and educational address
on "Progress" is deserving of merit. He says that in order to keep pace
with the times, when we are moving along at the speed of a century a year,
it is imperative to realize the vitality and value of new things. These new
things have been brought about chiefly through the war. Perhaps the
greatest lessons the war has taught are harmony and co-operation - the
building of a true (lemocracy based on the unit of community interests.
PRINCESS CATHARINE RADZIWILL Princess Radziwill, a princess of Russian
birth, who is con-nected with many of the royal houses of Europe, gave an
address on the subject of " Russia; Wherein Lies Her Hope for the Future."
Her plea was for her country which has suffered so much at the hands of
Germans and spies. She emphasized the immediate need of help, if her
country is to be saved. For many years Princess Radziwill has had
experience in government affairs in Russia. During her earlier years, she
was present many times at the court of Berlin. Consequently, she was well
able to speak with authority on her subject. LEOPOLD GODOWSKY Of all the
musical programs which the people of Bellingham have had an opportunity to
attend, perhaps there is none which compares with the Godowsky concert. On
the evening of April 22, the entire school listened with intense interest
to this great master of music, who played the piano with wonderful
interpre- tation of his selections and with the greatest of ease and
grace. Mr. Godowsky is world-faned as a pianist. He has appeared in all
great centers of music both in Europe and America, gaining such fame and
prominence as has not been surpassed since the time of Liszt. He is, also,
a composer of music, and has made important additions to piano music. The
Chopin " Sonata " will especially be remembered, for he proved himself
capable of producing the effects of that beau-tiful composition most
impressively. MAUD POWELL Although not on our lecture course, many of us
availed our-selves of the opportunity to hear the noted American
violinist, Maud Powell. Her numbers were appreciated highly. We shall
never forget those delightful selections, " To Marguerite," " May Night,"
and her tunes of old folk- songs. She played her program with the
sympathetic understanding and faultless technique of a great artist, and
made each number of her concert a delightful memory to be treasured in the
hearts of those who heard her. This year we have, also, been favored with
other interesting musical numbers. The Boston Opera Company, the Ionian
Serenaders, the Camp Lewis Military Quartette, and the Pullman Glee Club
gave us most enjoyable musical programs. One hundred forty-two

KKLIPSUNP Basketball - Men Because most of the Normal students were in
the service, Coach Carver could not put a regular basketball team in the
field this year. However, after the armistice was signed, a number of
husky lads dropped back into school. Nothing daunted by the lack of a
school team, they got together and " picked up " a few games with outside
teams. Notwithstanding the fact that the team was not really
representative of the Normal and that little practice was held, a fine
record was made. Those who played are: Bjorlie, Countryman, Broadbent,
Barnett, Sherman, Quinn, Whittaker. The following is a record of the
games: FAIRHAVEN HIGH 36 - B. S. N. S. 24 On February 11, the boys played
a - practice game with the Fairhaven High School team. The Normalites were
not in good shape at that time and suffered defeat to the tune of 36-24.
LYNDEN SECOND TEAM 24 - B. S. N. S. 26 On February 13, the team journeyed
out to Lynden and played a preliminary game to the Lynden-Friday Harbor
game. In this game the team showed itself to be somewhat out of
con-dition. The first half ended with the score of 20 to 10 in favor of
the Normal, but they were unable to keep the pace and as a con-sequence
Lynden gained in the second half. However, the Normal team managed to keep
the lead and " brought home the bacon." FRIDAY HARBOR 11 - B. S. N. S. 61
While at Lynden, the team from Friday Harbor challenged the Normal, and
on February 20 our boys took the trip to Friday Harbor. This game was a
regular " walk-away" for the Normal. Every man in the team procured more
than his regular allotment of baskets, but it remained for " Chuck "
Countryman to top the list with thirteen baskets for a total of twenty-six
points. AVON 10 - B. S. N. S. 30 Our third game was played with the Avon
team. This team was a combination of Avon and Mount Vernon players, but
they were no match for the Normal players, who sent them down to defeat
to the tune of 30 to 10. The game was a roughly fought contest, but the
Avon guards were unable to prevent Bjorlie and Countryman from cinching
five and six baskets, respectively, while the Normal guards kept Avon down
to the small number of ten points. One hundred forty-four

SKKLIPSUN-LYNDEN 25 - B. S. N. S. 21 March 10 saw the Normal team humbled
by the Lynden second team. Over-confidence and the lack of practice were
the main factors in the calamity. During the first half the Lynden boys
ran rampant over the Normalites, but in the second half the Normal team
gained steadily and a few more minutes playing would undoubtedly have
reversed the score. LYNDEN 9 - B. S. N. S. 29 The Normal team regained
its laurels on March 14 in defeat-ing the Lynden aggregation by the score
of 29 to 9. The game was fiercely fought, but the Normalites were out to
avenge their previous defeat. Their opponents were bewildered by the Normal
team-work, finally succumbing to the aforesaid score. CLASS GAMES Junior
players -- Countryman, Marshall, Quinn, Sherman, Warrick, Wolters. Senior
players - Alm, Barnett, Bjorlie, Broadbent, Button, Neiswender, Sorensen,
Whittaker. The Junior boys won the basketball championship of the school
by taking four out of the seven games played. The Seniors opened up strong
on January 2 and defeated the Juniors in a practice game 21 to 1.
January 31 saw the first game of the series. It was a bitterly fought
contest and ended 23 to 20 in favor of the Seniors. After these two
victories the Seniors became somewhat over-confident and took a beating on
Febiuary 7 by the narrow margin of 25 to 24. On February 18, the Seniors
came back and defeated the Juniors 29 to 23. The games now stood 2 to 1 in
favor of the Seniors. Things began to warm up, and on the following night
the Juniors evened up the series by defeating the Seniors 36 to 21. This
game saw Countryman hit his stride from which he was never headed
throughout the season. The last two games and the championship went to the
Juniors. The scores were 23 to 20 and 23 to 17. One hundred forty-five

KLIPSUNP# Kline Cup Series To the Senior girls goes the honor this year!
A hard fight the Juniors put up but it was in vain! The first game of the
Kline Cup series was played on the afternoon of February 7, 1919. Rooters
from both classes were lined up ready to cheer their respective teams to
victory. By the end of the first half the Seniors were leading by a score
of 8 to 2. The second half saw the Juniors open up with vim, but the
Junior forwards were unable to penetrate the Senior defense, while the
Senior forwards continued to snare baskets. The final score was 21 to 7.
February 18, 1919, saw the girls take the floor to play off the second
game of the series. The Juniors were determined to reverse the first score
and for the first few minutes of play it seemed as though they were going
to accomplish their purpose. But toward the last of the first half the
Senior girls took a little spurt and ended the first half with a lead of
eight points. The second half was even more bitterly fought than the
first. The guards on both teams played with every ounce that was in them.
The Seniors were held to three baskets, while the Juniors were only able
to ring two. The final score was 20 to 10, in favor of the Seniors. This
game determined the winners of the series but, in order that those girls
who had turned out regularly might have a chance to earn their letters, a
third game was played. The Juniors put up a hard scrap, but the Seniors
were again victorious. LETTER GIRLS Seniors -- Newell Rochefort

B KLIPSUN Baseball During the latter part of March, Coach Carver sent out
his call for men to turn out for baseball. Because of the small num-ber
of boys on the team, the turnout was not very large, but with such players
as Smith, Reardon and Brewer, who have played for the Normal in past
years, there was great hope for a success-ful season. Their first game
with Mount Vernon realized this hope, for the score was 3 to 0 in the
Normal's favor. Although the game came on Friday and thus no rooters could
go from Bellingham, the home team came out splendidly. Brewer held the
Mount Vernon players to one hit. At the time of going to press, the
schedule for the rest of the season is: PLACE Blaine Ferndale Seattle .

99,999 MAY 28, 1939 No. 11,111 ELECTION AROUSES A TTENTION TIE FEARED
OLYMPIA - The elec-tion for State Superintend-ent, which has aroused so
much interest here, termin-ated yesterday. It was not until all returns
were in that one could form an opinion as to whether Leo Brewer or
Vernon Broad-bent would be elected. The personalities of the two men
have won many friends throughout the state. It is rumored that the
physical stature of Mr. Brewer probably decided the election, as public
opinion has conceived the impres-sion that the office requires a tall
gentleman in order to dominate over the teach-ers serving under him.
Miss Nita Murphy is to serve as assistant state superintendent. Other
items of interest in connection with the election are: (1) The re-election
of Hlarry Sorenson as King County Sheriff; (2) elec- tion of State
Auditor, Ar-villa Jackel. LEC TU RE NUMBER WINS APPLA IUSE The lecture

found to the iden-tity of a strange man who attempted to look upon the
heautiful home scene of three spinsters, Beulah Nel-son, Valentine
Newell, and Leona Parlette, by means of that exquisite bay win-dow
designed by a well known architect, Alice Kin-near. After leaving the home
of the above citizens, th i s mysterious man seriously frightened and
thus endan- gered the lives of two bach-elors, living alone. Bot hI
gentlemen, Arthur Button and Ernest Kobelt, are at St. Luke's Hospital
under the efficient care of D)r. H. C. Mathes and nurse, Mabel I)umas.
Both patients are improving. SOCIETY A farewell party was given at the
