ouut Iaker Purple, mauve, a violet haze, a splash of fine spun gold, A
charging cloud 'cross an opal sky, like a heavenly warrior bold, A fringe
of green in the shimmering sheen, a glare of silvered sun, A sigh of
breeze 'mnong the sentinel trees, the work of God well done, A mountain
rears its wonderful heights like a crown on Nature's brow, A towering
mountain clothed in white as pure as an angel's vow, A circle of hills, a
stretch of land, a sweep of an inland sea The mountain enthroned on the
roof of the world beckons to you and to me, The sun beats down on its
silver crown, the waters softly creep, There are stars, a moon, the
nights' soft croon, the world has gone to sleep. - Guy MANNERS.

Vo14 1 rtnav *ur tj of land in the most picturesque spot on Puget Sound -
on the slopes of Sehome Hill, above the Bay, and surrounded by beautiful
mountains, with Mt. Baker towering in the background. The school is in
its twenty-first year of splendid achievement, and has graduated two
thousand six hundred people. These twenty-six hundred graduates represent
forty-nine different occupations. This manifests the various vocations for
which one may prepare at the Normal. The greatest number, or one thousand
four hundred sixty-two, are engaged in some form of pedagogical work, four
hundred forty-eight are housewives, seventy-six are doing advanced study
at colleges and universities, and fifty-nine are clerical workers. The
number engaged in each of the other occupations range from one to seven.
The standards of teaching have been raised each year. From the beginning,
those graduating from the eighth grade were admitted. So the requirement
remained for ten years when it became necessary for one to complete one
year of high school before entering. The following year, two years of high
school training were required, and in 1917, one had to be a graduate of
high school before entering. Now the qualifications are the same as those
for college entrance. One-year, two-year and three-year courses are now
offered, and this year a four-year basis for the Normal was authorized.
Also a one-year course is offered to university graduates. The courses
of study have been expanded. New features have been Eight

added in the various departments. The Federal Government has granted six
thousand dollars to the Department of Hygiene. This department will be
co-ordinated with the Department of Biological Science. With the
co-operation of the head of this department with the School Nurse and the
Physical Education, instructors and teachers will be better trained to
carry on general work in personal and community hygiene. The enlarged
manual training building provides separate rooms for elementary woodwork,
advanced woodwork, forge work, mechanical draw-ing, printing, and smaller
rooms for repairing and finishing work. A great development has taken
place in the Extension Department in the past two years, and results of
this work are becoming more and more pronounced. This course is given to
those who wish to do part of their Normal work while teaching, and receive
credits for their work, graduates who wish to keep in touch with the
educational movements of the day, graduates of other institutions who wish
to take some Normal work, and teachers and others desiring general
culture. Sixteen of our teachers are engaged in this field, and twenty-two
subjects are taught. These instructors sometimes hold community meetings
where people may get in closer touch with one another, or where they may
learn from speakers sent out from this school. By special arrangement,
books may be secured from the Normal Library by those taking
correspondence work. The Student Loan Fund has proved instrumental to many
in securing their education. Students may borrow from this fund to
complete an entire course if they so desire. The fund increased from
$1,800 to $12,000 in two years through the assistance of 'Mr. Charles
Allen, of Seattle. As the demand for more and better teachers is in
evidence, so this school has and ever will meet that situation, by itself
becoming bigger and better each year. Nine

Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS SUMMARY At this closing time of the year, when our
sojourn as Juniors is almost over, it seems rather difficult to summarize
the many activities of our class. As we look back over the path we have
trod, we think with sorrow that our Junior days will be no more. Many
jolly mixers, where the spirit of good-fellowship held sway, helped us in
becoming acquainted, and in binding us together in unvidided loyalty to
the Class of 1921. The art of the Juniors to enjoy a good time is
unsurpassed and the memory of these jollifications will be with us always.
Clubs and societies rejoiced to find in our midst such talent and wisdom.
Without us their former reputations could never have been upheld. In
athletics we have shown our capability and willingness to play the game,
as well as to give the " peppy" support that means so much to every team.
Our girls showed their efficiency by their victory over the mighty Seniors
in the Kline Cup series. The majority of the members of the school teams,
needless to say, were chosen from the Class of 1921. Dramatics also held a
high place among us. Our class play, "The Scarecrow," will long be
remembered by those who saw it. The beauty of the play and the talent of
the players made that finished production one of our most treasured
memories. The success of the year is due to a very large extent to the
unceasing work, and true interest of our class advisors, and to them we
are deeply grateful. " In closing, "when distance lends enchantment to
the view," and fond memory brings to our minds the many helpful and joyful
things that happened during our dear Junior days, may we show by our deeds
and lives our appreciation for all that we have gained, and, as Tiny Tim
said, "God bless us everyone!" - BERNICE DAY. Twenty-seven

ere we journey forth With joyous hopes, each on his separate way, A
little on those things we leave behind, Which came to mean so much in our
brief stay. The new-made friends from whom we now must part, The hills we
climbed, the vales we wandered through Those things which helped enrich
and shape our lives Are ours eternally, though we must bid old scenes
adieu. Twenty-eight TEFPARATIOU PLIIMOEE ), 13

In the early days of September a crowd of expectant looking persons
assembled from the four corners of the earth, waited their turn patiently
in Professor Bever's office. Some felt more at home than others, as they
were Juniors the year before, others having done some work in other
insti-tutions, and still others, in fact the majority, were returning
after several years of experience in the teaching profession. This is the
secret of the patience shown as they waited their turn in the line,
standing first upon one foot and then upon the other. The following
officers were elected for the first quarter: Pearl Nesson . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . President Helen Robertsen .. . .. ...... . Vice-President

Agnes Pettigrew . . . ... .... .. . Treasurer The opening days of school
were indeed busy ones and several social functions did much toward making
the students happy. The first Senior mixer was enjoyed during the last
days of October. Did we have a good time! Anyone who made their entrance
into the gymnasium by sliding down the " chutes " and joined in all the
contests and games with zest will say we spent an enjoyable evening. The
Senior Class did their part toward bidding their brothers and sisters, the
November and March graduates, a fond adieu. A delightful banquet was given
in honor of the March graduates at the Pheasant Tea Room and Dr. Nash most
delightfully entertained them as well. The seventeenth of April was the
date of the famous Chuckanut Marathon in which a large per cent of the
school participated. Competi-tion was strong between the classes for the
winning of the prize, the Herald cup, but the spirit in which the students
responded was whole-hearted and joyous. Among the whirl of events that
occupied our last days together was the " Senior Sneak." Yes, it was a
real sneak! All cares were put aside. Such worries that especially appear
during the " last days " were absolutely forgotten. Eats were plenty,
spirits were high, studies were forgotten. You know the rest! We
sincerely appreciate the hearty co-operation of our class advisors, Mr.
Bever and Dr. Miller, and now I suppose we must bid our dear B. S. N. S. a
long farewell. Although it is farewell, still memory will always bring us
back to her. - ANAIDE MAE MYERS. Twenty- nine

#rnior Cass rop pry Mildred Murray - Margaret Xitco is still in the
profession. Now at Columbia. ;o Hazel Peterson - Anne Adams is studying
music in New York. She made old B. S. N. S. a visit while on her last tour
of the West. Edith Kesler--You ask for a list of Elwyn Bugge's latest
plays. Here are six of them: "Blue Roses," "Midnight at Noon," " The Flea
Who Loved an Elephant," "The Horrible Joy," "The Stationary Comet" and
"Reaching Down 9 " from the Bottom." Ethel Burklund - Could I advise you
as to which would make the better husband, a garage man or a floor
walker? What, not married yet? I-/. . No, I'm sorry. I can't. Gertrude
Dupuis - You can get the Columbia record of Mme. Peronteau's recitation
entitled "To a Man Who Journeyed Afar." Ann Bennett--No, Effie Mann and
Rhoda Hubbard are not jealous of each other. Why should they be? They each
have a husband. Harry Bartruff- -No, indeed, never let a woman have the
key to your heart; there's more fun letting her pick the lock - at last!!!
Russel MacPherson - Yes, Ethel Brown is teaching in South America. What's
the matter, Mac; did your bubbles fade and die? Estelle Burnside - No, I
have searched the country over and not yet have I found a man with
"parallel" eyebrows. I'm afraid, Estelle, you will have to change your
tastes. Helen Robinson - Beverly Hatch is now making her last serial, "
Happy Though Mar-ried," under the direction of her director-husband, Carl
Irish. Regina Frank - Yes, Gertrude Sears found the good-natured man at
last. Anaide Myers - Nellie Gutcher is teaching school. Guess she's still
waiting for " Bobby." Bessie De Graff - Surely, I can tell you where
Stella Lowry is. She and her husband, who is a New York banker, are
spending their summer at their Long Island summer home. Carl Sangster -
Stanley Freeman and Hilda Matson Freeman are making a movie series with
Ruth Watrus playing heavy. Irma Conn -You ask about Agnes Wentjar and Eva
Horback. Miss Wentjar is now starring in "Left Alone" and "Eve" has
retired from the profession and is happily wed. Lula Foster -It does seem
hard to believe, but it is true that Oza Myers is now on the faculty at
B. S. N. S. Grace Dancer (1925) -Yes, Ellwood Davis is still a bachelor.
No use, "Gracie," only Physical Ed. girls need apply. Muriel Lee - Well,
I certainly can't answer such questions as, "Is Kenneth Selby divorced? "
Gladys Jensen- Yes, Mrs. Carpenter's life work has been and will be
illustrated lecture courses on "Look Before You Leap." Olga Kuehl - As to
Clyde. Bancroft's whereabouts. You remember he was wounded three times in
the Meuse-Argonne offensive (consult your anatomy dictionary) and now he
has joined the Bull's Eye Film Co. Francis John- What, Francis, still an
old maid? You want to know what I believe about equality between man and
woman. "I do not talk of equality between a cabbage and a rose." Grace
Green - Harold Marshall is now at Washington debating the nation-wide
anti-grape juice question. Lyla Robin - " Dr." Warrick is now studying :n
Vienna. His former practice has been at Ferndale. - M. A. P. '20.

miniar Vass Witl W E, the 1920 Senior Class, the best class that ever
graduated from the Bellingham State Normal, of the County of Whatcom, in
the State of Washington, United States of America, being of a firm
understanding and disposing memory, and on the verge of leaving this
sphere, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, thereby
declaring null and void all wills made by us at any other time, to-wit:
ARTICLE I. To our Alma Mater we bequeathe our best wishes for her success
in continuing to do as much for others as she has done for us. ARTICLE
II. To our president, Dr. Nash, we bequeathe: SEC. 1. Our deep gratitude
for the help he has given us, both directly and indirectly. SEC. 2. A

knowledge of the high esteem by which they are held by all of us. SEC. 2.
A new class of students on whom they may pass their idio-cyncrasies as to
the management of schools, and the like. ARTICLE IV. To the supervisors
in the Training Department we bequeathe: SEC. 1. The privilege of taking a
holiday now and then. SEC. 2. Many sleepless nights to be used in
dreaming of new con-trivances by which they might take the joy out of the
lives of unsophisti- cated teachers. SEC. 3. The children of the Training
Department, hoping they know as much now as they did before we were
amongst them. ARTICLE V. To the 1921 Seniors, whom we know will be
foolish enough to accept them, we bequeathe: SEC. 1. All our claims to
the deeper pedagogical literature. SEC. 2. Our seats in the front of the
assembly, so that they, by a closer view of the faculty, may see
themselves as they will be seen in their future life. SEC. 3. The use of
room number two hundred and twenty, on the second floor and fourth
Wednesday of every month, providing: First--That those Seniors all present
themselves in some way or other at the meetings. Second--That they help
keep the school democratic by each one's expressing himself, even if he
hasn't anything to say. SEC. 4. Our great prestige in every branch of the
school, providing it is not relied upon entirely, for securing a " pass "
on the credit slip. Thirty-one

ARTICLE VI. To the Juniors we bequeathe: SEc. 1. The entire course of
study, which shall at first seem annoying, but which shall gain admiration
as the end of the school year approaches. SEc. 2. The use of all the books
in the library for vrhich an interest may be cultivated if absolutely
necessary. ARTICLE VII. Of special bequest we make the following: SEc.
1. To Miss Earhart, a medal for her patience with practice teachers. This

experience a feeling of "I wish I were home," on the occasion of their
first teaching. SEC. 2. To Mr. Bever, a machine into which blank programs
may be inserted and returned, ready for his signature, thus freeing him
from any conflicts. SEC. 3. To Dr. Miller, our Marshall to be used in
child study. SEC. 4. To Mr. Kibbe, a set of scales to be used in finding
the avoir-dupois of prospective pedagogues, so that a record of their
weight before and after teaching may be kept, and a good measure for
finding the exact amount of cranial expanse of each. SEC. 5. To the Dean
of Women, our own diaries, which shall be printed in books to be used as
texts to guide the younger generations in what to accept and what to
reject in their daily lives. SEC. 6. To Mrs. Thatcher, our thanks for
having given us a chance to sing to the Faculty on assembly mornings.
SEC. 7. To Miss Boring, a class that is punctual at 8 o'clock in the
morning, accustomed to yards and yards of notes, and willing to believe in
the doctrine of " The survival of the fittest." SEC. 8. To Miss Wilson,
twenty assistants to work in the library during the time she is
introducing and explaining her wares to new students. These assistants
shall portray a beaming countenance on finding encyclo-pedias in the

twigs. SEC. 10. To Miss Gragg, the push, pull movement, which shall be

which shall be used as reference material when per-plexing problems arise.

V1!7 1N, The Normal Book Store, owned and controlled by the Students'
Asso-ciation and appropriately designated "The Students' Co-op," is rated
as one of the finest and best equipped stores in the country. The store
has been in existence since 1908 and, until four years ago, was operated
by student help. Then Mr. C. C. Baughman, a former student of this school,
took full charge and under his capable and efficient manage-ment its
resources have steadily increased until now its capital outlay is
practically four times what it was at the time he assumed the management.
During the past year Miss Ruth Sanford, a graduate of Whatcom High School,
of this city, has ably served as the store assistant, and her pleasant
manner and charming personality have won her the friendship of all the
students. The " Co-op " aims not only to supply students with the proper
equip-ment for school and recreative life at moderate cost, but it stands
for efficiency in its management, prompt service and courtesy to its
patrons. Forty-nine

State Normal School in 1899 and was issued only once each quarter. It did
not at that time bear the name under which it is now published, "The
Weekly Messenger." In 1903 the size of the paper was slightly increased,
and it was then published monthly and remained a monthly publication
until 1916 when it became a weekly publication, although its size had
again been increased both in size of sheet and in number of pages. The
paper was very successful and has continued since that time as " The
Weekly Messenger." During the present school year the paper has been
published in the regular sized eight-page form with the exception of a few
issues during the second quarter when it was temporarily reduced to meet
the extra expense incurred by the publication of a very beautiful magazine
issued at the Christmas season giving a history of the institution and
appropriate cuts of the buildings and grounds and a handsome full-page
photograph of the president of the school to whom the special issue was
dedicated. The Weekly Messenger is published by the Students' Association
of the Bellingham State Normal School. A business manager is appointed by
the Board of Control at the beginning of each year, and is paid a salary.
The editor is appointed quarterly through the advice and recommendation of
the censor of the paper and the endorsement of the Board of Control. He
receives credit in English. A faculty advisor is appointed by the
president of the school and does the work of censorship of the contributed
material as well as the general makeup of the paper. Training in journalism
is required for eligibility to the office of editor or staff-membership.

ATHLETIC SUMMARY large school. During the past year our Normal School has
made a very satisfactory record in that line; although one branch of
sports did not "function" in our school this year. The second quarter of
school found abundant material for a foot-ball squad worthy of
representing the average college. However, it was the second quarter
instead of the first when this material could have been used. In 1916,
Coach Carver was given credit for turning out the strongest non-conference
football team in the West. With the return of many of the men now in
school, together with the coming of others who are suit-able, it is hoped
that he may be able next fall not only to turn out a team able to make a
good showing with the non-conference teams, but also that his team can be
scheduled with conference representatives. BASEBALL SCHEDULE Mount Vernon

play the clos-ing weeks of school. Although we have in- dulged in only a
few games, credit is due to Miss Moffat and Mr. Carver for the splendid
spirit of co- operation and sportsmanship which has been developed. The
girls who have taken an active part in athletics have received the joy that
comes from one of the best activities of school life. Every girl should
share the opportunity offered them. CARVER p MOFFAT Fifty-two

BASKETBALL FAIRHAVEN H. S. 8 - NORMAL 26 The basketball season opened
after two weeks of practice in our " gymette " with a game with Fairhaven
High School. The game was very greatly enjoyed by the spectators, for
seldom does one see a game in which both teams pass and shoot so wildly.
The game demonstrated to us a great need of team work and basket shooting.
BLAINE H. S. 14 - NORMAL 26 MOUNT VERNON 8 - NORMAL 39 During the
Christmas holidays the team assembled several times for practice; they
also played two games during that time. The first was a contest with
Blaine High School at Blaine and was a victory for the Normal. The second
game was played with the Mount Vernon American Legion at Mount Vernon.
Here the first signs of hope for a basketball team were raised, as great
improvement was shown, both in passing and in basket shooting. WHATCOM 14
- NORMAL 15 We have no alibi for not running up a larger score on the
loopers from Whatcom. A failure " to get started " seems the only excuse,
although the game was a spirited game and was played before a large crowd.
VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 26 - NORMAL 24 The fast Canadian group looped two free
throws too many. They won a fair game and proved themselves true
sportsmen. WHATCOM H. S. 12- NORMAL 18 In the second game played with
Whatcom the Normal team was beaten according to soothsayers and prophets
even before the game was staged or the first whistle blown. The large gym
was a handicap to our men, after their practice on the smaller floor on
the hill. However, we secured eight field goals to Whatcom's two and the
final score stood in favor of the Normal. C. P. S. 8 - NORMAL 32 The
quintet from Tacoma came up to play us in our own gym, but we failed " to
get properly wound up." Our visitors demonstrated very good football
tactics but they failed to loop the ball a single time during the entire
game. They did manage to make eight out of seventeen free throws.
VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 25 - NORMAL 15 Our little trip to the Canadian
metropolis proved conclusively that a group playing together for several
years has a very great advantage over the " one-year team." The Ex-Normal
team again defeated us by out-playing and out-shooting us. ST. MARTIN'S
COLLEGE 24 - NORMAL 33 St. Martin's College, of Lacy, spent a very
enjoyable evening with us, leaving with the little end of the score. We
found these fellows clean sports, and feel it a pleasure to have relations
with them. Fifty-three

MOUNT VERNON 15- NORMAL 5 Our baseball season started out rather
discouragingly when we played with Mount Vernon High School at Mount
Vernon. Our defeat was due mostly to wild pitching and wilder base
throwing. MOUNT VERNON 9- NORMAL 7 Mount Vernon came up here two weeks
later only to defeat us in the last inning. The Blue and White had
gradually forged ahead until the eighth inning which found us two scores
to the good. But our opponents, rallying, scored four times in the ninth
and secured the victory. FAIRHAVEN 0 -NORMAL 8 The game with Fairhaven
High School was encouraging, as well as providing excellent practice for
the game with Whatcom which followed. WHATCOM 6- NORMAL 10 Again we found
these prophets of sports rather dazed and uncertain when we defeated
Whatcom High School. The team from the " School on the hill " started out
rather raggedly in the first two innings and the boys and girls from
Whatcom were delirious. But Coach Carver's men caught the spirit of the
old fight and kept climbing until the close of the game. Fifty-seven

-- RURAL LIFE 5 The Philos and Rural Life played a preliminary game before
the clash of our boys with Whatcom. The game was a fast exhibition of
girls' basket-ball. The fast and skillful guarding of Regina Frank and
Hilda Woodburn prevented the Rural Life forwards from building up a high
score. Only one field basket was secured by the Rural Life forwards, the
other three points being made on free throws. PHILOS RURAL LIFE Agee

January 23, under Miss Moffat's coaching, our fast sextette defeated the
hitherto supposedly invincible Whatcom girls' team in a closely con-tested
game. Whatcom failed to come up to the Normal score during the first half,
but during the second half they tied the score by securing a free throw,
and two more field baskets made things seem pretty dark for the Normal
team. The Normal team set to work in grim earnest and soon had the score
in their favor and so it remained until the end of playing time. The

throughout the year. The Philo-Sopher was published first in October,
1919, to us falling the honor of being its editor. It immediately became
the journal of the Philos and has fulfilled the duty of unifying the
society. Who could forget the " Ode Initiatione " by Miss Whittier or the
Forecast Number, edited by Miss Sutherland? The Junior coupe at the first
of the year placed Roswell Oliver in the president's chair and two other
of that class in offices. Miss Estella Burn-side, vice-president of the
Student's Association and chairman of the Klip-sun Committee, was our next
president. Elwyn Bugge, editor of the Klipsun, succeeded her in the third
quarter. sixty-two

The Philos boast of two Si's - " Sci " Philippi and " Psy " Kolstad. The
Philo initiation proved a source of joy to the older members but of misery
and fright to the " noveaux Philo." Spaghetti was the characteristic dish
on the menu. Look into the records of responsible positions of the school
and into the literary and other rewards. The Abou Ben Adhems' names are
there. The Philos, as a society, were ten years of age on the
twenty-second day of November. Then they celebrated in the true old Philo
way at the home of Professor Philippi, with program, balloon races,
birthday cake 'n everything. Dr. Nash, our oldest Philo, was present and
gave us some advice as club members. The pinnacle of enjoyment was
reached when we spent our annual week end at Mr. Kolstad's cottage by Lake
Whatcom. The experience was varied, from sleeping in bath tubs and row
boats to playing baseball on Sunday. Verily, we will go again, if invited.
The annual banquet was held at the Leopold on April 10th. There our
desires, physical and intellectual, were amply fulfilled, to the
accompani-ment of music, readings and most witty toasts. That the Philos
are appreciative of music was proved when we were entertained by the
Philomonic Orchestra, which played from the works of Ivan Offulitch, the
great Russian composer. When the orchestra had fin-ished we applauded
loudly. Although the boys were defeated in basketball, the Philo girls
obtained revenge by an unmentionable score. Santa Claus visited us three
days before Christmas and applied for admission into the society. What
does the word " Philomathean " mean? As Mr. Philippi explains, it may mean
either " Lovers of Learning " or " Learners of Loving," perhaps. "That's
why, that's why, a Philo feels that way. For once a Philo, always a Philo,
forever and a day." Sixty-three

0l# Alktiatal (tub Yes, we are the Alkisiah Club, Whom Fortune bestowed
with a smile Upon the Bellingham Normal School, There to reign for a
long, long while. - GLADYS JENSEN. We are nearing the close of our
fourteenth year. With each successive year we have added new friends and
new ideals. The Alkisiah Club was formed in 1906 under the sponsorship of
Miss Baker, who has continued in that capacity ever since. We hold the
distinction of being the oldest club in the school and also of belonging
to the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Throughout the years we have
striven to keep always before us the ideals and the work of this great
organization. Our first meeting this year was held at the home of Miss
Baker, where although few in number we planned the work for the first
quarter. One of the first social events of the year was the children's
Hallowe'en party at Miss Baker's. Here all of the members came in pinafore
and pgi-tail, to frolic before the fireplace and listen to stories. The
success of a party, however, is always determined by the refreshments, so
just mentioning pumpkin pie and stick candy will explain why everyone
pro-claimed it " the nicest party " she had ever attended. Sixty-four p-

The next event of importance was the initiation of new members. After
finding their way from the third floor to the gymna,ium blindfolded, they
were put through various stunts, even to riding the " goat." On February
14th, according to custom, we met at the Hotel Leopold for our annual
banquet. There we were delighted to meet several of our former friends and
clubmates. Now nineteen-twenty is a year That holds for girls a ray of
cheer. So accordingly the Alkisiahs gave the first leap year party.
Varying our custom of a Christmas bulb sale, we decided to postpone it
until Easter time. Just before Easter about fifty blossoming bulbs were
sold, from which we derived the double benefit of learning something of
bulb culture as well as the financial aid. Hikes and outings comprised the
social program for the spring months, our annual house party at Miss
Baker's cottage on Lummi Island being the crowning event. Throughout the
year we have had reports from the " Woman Citizen " in our meetings; in
this way keeping in touch with the great work of the Federation. Last fall
we received an inspiring report from the Federa-tion convention held in
Centralia, Washington, to which Avis Dodge was our representative. We hope
that again this year we may be represented. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER

Okanogan, Wash., April 31, 1921. MY DEAR DOROTHY: As I sit at my desk-
the children gone for the day - memories of last year's student life flash
before me. Just one year ago today, I remember, the Thespians were so busy
getting out posters for the four plays, " Weeping Wives," " Dust of the
Road," " Open Gates " and " The Bishop's Candlesticks." Mr. Hoppe was so
wonderfully patient with us and without him our success would have been
impossible. How I wish you could drop in on us some evening and see our
dear little birds' nest of a cottage. We're very careful to see that there
is enough fuel in for the evening, curtains are drawn after sunset, and
never answer the door after dark. Not afraid to stay alone or afraid in
the dark--you understand--but we are of a too convivial nature to enjoy
the songs of the night birds and tree toads. Both of us are strong
believers in dreams - and such horrid ones are generally the result. O,
that makes me think of the play " Unsuppressed Desires " we gave last
year. Mae Andersen, Will Beardsley and Loraine Winters were the cast, were
they not? Sixty-eight

Glancing to the back of the room, my eyes fall on some Pilgrim posters the
children made in November. They remind me of the dainty little
en-tertainment the November graduates presented us with. What a
picturesque little group - every member in the Puritan costumes, sitting
very prim, en-joying the Swedish reading, " Courtship of Miles Standish "
by Pearl Nesson, and the quaint little songs by the quartette. Then they
led us to the cafeteria to that real Thanksgiving dinner - as near like
the original as could have been arranged. Remember the night we clashed
victoriously with the Philos in debate? But after that animated little
farce starring Helen Robertson, Tromp and Roe, we were friends all over
again. Helen just came and wants me to go home so I will finish " The
Thespian Biography " this evening. 8 P. M., SAME DAY This is my evening
to keep the old fireplace glowing. Between firing-up times perhaps I can
talk to you. Did the Normal have a Country Fair this year? Wasn't our
booth pretty last year? Those days we spent making wisteria and cherry
blossoms-- makes me tired yet. Such a long debate we participated in over
a booth and finally decided on a Japanese tea garden. The unique costumed
little maidens toddling here and there serving the kneeling guests to tea;
tinkling Japanese music, and the heavy odor of incense added to its
bizarre-like atmosphere. Will you ever forget the night we entertained
the two basketball teams the night we played the C. P. S.? How
dexteriously Archie Erickson ex-changed Dr. Nash's and Sam Carver's dish
of jello when it was discovered that Gretchen had accidentally added salt
to some of the whipped cream in place of sugar. Our worries were few
compared to our good times and accomplish-ments. It is growing late and
our fuel is low, so I must bring these dreams to a close. I think it's all
right to dream if we don't make dreams our master, don't you? Always
yours, - BEVERLY P. S. - Give all Thespians my best greetings. Once a
Thespian, always a Thespian. OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER SECOND QUARTER Will

tubia Art (flub SONG (SMILES A LA AT) Oh! it's art that makes us happy;
Oh, it's art that makes us glad; Oh, it's art that keeps the whole world
going And it's art that's going to be the fad. All the world is filled
with charm and beauty That the eyes of art alone can see, And the club
that knows about this beauty Is the Studio Art Club - We! " Why, hello
Amy! Where in the wide world have you been keeping yourself this past year?
How is Harold and the baby? Yes, I graduated last year, too. I couldn't
get a man, so I got a teacher's diploma. " Things have been in such a
whirl lately. I have been on the go con- stantly. But the most weird thing
of all happened last Saturday night when a bunch of us girls went over to
that old woman who tells fortunes by crystal gazing. You remember her,
don't you? She lives out near Elizabeth Park. Well, anyhow she picked out
Julia, Ethol and me and then she just let out a regular blizzard. Seventy

She began by saying that we all had a great deal in common. She said that
she saw a many-colored band around us. Of course none of us believes it,
but it did make us think of our club days. She sort of waved her hands in
the air and made me, at least, think that she was painting a picture.
This queer woman then said in her sepulchral voice, 'Spirits of you who
sit in this circle, I see in the past that you have worked out in black
and white that which will bring to you fame and admiration. You have taken
pure carbon and upon white parchment you have made much beauty of line.
You have each worked out your own life's thoroughfare. One shall travel on
country roads, another shall choose the smooth lake, while another shall
journey forth upon a wild sea of dark surroundings.' " I didn't tell her,
Amy, but you know those charcoal sketches that we made in Art Club last
year, each represented something that she men-tioned. I don't believe that
she knew what she was talking about, but isn't it queer? " Then she went
on to say that beauty was an expression of the spirit. Ours had proved
itself by delighting an audience of country folks, prize babies and even
the renowned Jesse James at a country fair. That must have been the one the
school gave for the Klipsun fund. You remember how we worked for hours at
a time making hearts, cupids, baskets and everything else. " Yes, Amy,
and that's what capped the climax! She told about the movie that we
attended, and then she told how Helen had gone east of the mountains and
had married that good looking man of hers, even though she had been
offered the position of art instructor under Miss Druse. " Now, I really
don't see how that woman knew so much and I really don't believe a word of
it, it is so uncanny, but - ah, there's your car now! Do give my love to
your mother. Good-bye! " OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER Ruth Claassen .

was formed in 1915 by " the seekers after truth and wisdom." Miss Crawford

the program consisted of studies of various nations. The people, their
language and costumes, their literature and music were discussed. In
addition there was a study of astronomy. Several charts were made of the
most important constellations and the girls spent some Seventy-two

very interesting evenings " star-gazing." They studied the position of the
stars and learned the legends connected with the names of the stars. The
club enjoyed a Christmas party just before the vacation. A large number
were present and took part in the merry-making. Several new members were
initiated. Dainty refreshments concluded the party. Every-one agreed that
there was not a dull moment during the affair. On February 19 the club
held a Colonial party. George and Martha Washington, impersonated by Miss
Sears and Miss Peronteau, received the guests. Nathaniel Green, Lafayette,
Stark, Benjamin Franklin and many other famous Revolutionary gentlemen
attended, each with his wife. Old time games and dances occupied the
evening. Refreshments, in which cherries predominated, were served in the
cafeteria. Just before Arbor Day the girls hiked to Flat Rock. They
toasted marshmallows and practiced songs and yells until darkness forced
them to take the home trail. Aletheia spent an evening at Dead Man's
Point. There around the fire the girls told Indian legends and discussed
Indian music. Although marsh-mallows were never an article of Indian diet,
the girls did not fail io appreciate them. At the following meeting the
girls played a number of Indian records on the Victrola. On Arbor Day the
Aletheian colors were conspicuous. The grey and rose streamers floated in
the air, carried by white clad girls. In addition to the rose bush already
flourishing, the girls planted an ivy vine on the western side of the
Training School. The little plant seemed to imbibe the spirit of the songs
and yells of that day, for it is growing vigorously. The year has been a
fine one for the club, unsurpassed by any in the past. The future seems
bright with promises of success for Aletheia. Seventy-three

Not long after taking up my duties as a rural school supervisor, I arrived
one afternoon about four o'clock at a dear little school house tucked in
the hollow of the side of a hill. Late flowers bloomed in the garden and
an air of peace and quiet seemed to pervade the place. A recitation was in
progress and the other children were so busily engaged at their desks that
it was possible for me to enter unnoticed and remain an undiscovered but
greatly interested visitor. This simple but pleasant school room was a
delightful place in which to linger. It was an industrious and happy
school, made so by a teacher with the true rural spirit, who after
dismissing her school gave me a most cordial welcome, expressing regret
that she had not found me out sooner. Her eyes lighted with joy when I
mentioned B. S. N. S. " Oh, you are an old Bellingham student! Then of
course you know Mr. Heckmann and Mr. Coughlin, our Rural Life Club
sponsors. I am very much indebted to them for the ideas which you have
approved so highly in my work this afternoon. We have a very active P.-T.
A. Its members have been no end of help to me, and it is the ideal P.-T.
A. which Mr. Heckmann so enthusiastically advocated." Then in a
reminiscent mood I told her of some of the good times I had with the Rural
Lifers back in 1920: "At a Valentine party Mr. Coughlin told us of a
vision he had of an ideal community. I have not seen all of your
community, but if it corresponds to your school his dream is realized."
She modestly acknowledged my praise by saying, "A true product of the
rural course of dear old B. S. N. S. could not do less, but infinitely
more." We chatted for some time, recalling many delightful experiences in
the Rural Life Club. I related the events of our first meeting at Whatcom
Falls: the " ripping" game of baseball, the appetizing eats, the cheerful
chat of our sponsors and last but not least the toasting of marshmallows
over a big bonfire while we roused the timid woodfolk with our hearty
singing. " You enjoyed the Rural Life conferences?" I continued, " So did
I. I think the Rural Lifers appreciated the situation presented by Mrs.
Preston more keenly than others because our hearts were in it. Vividly she
re-called to mind various sojourns in the country schools and the needs
which existed then as they do now - needs of community centers and more
intelli-gent living upon the farm. After her address we gathered in the
big gym and romped hilariously like little children." Reluctantly I bade
the little teacher farewell and went on my way rejoicing at her success
and hoping the other Rural Lifers were duplicating her spirit and as
successfully realizing the hopes of their Alma Mater. - ETHEL MCCLELLAN

There is no part or group in the Student Body of Bellingham State Normal
School so small, so remote or far removed from the activities of the
school but what has come in contact with the Choral Club. This club is the
melting pot of all the other social and literary organizations of the
school. Students have long recognized the potential value of the club, as
is proved by our list of seventy active members. The club is one of the
oldest in school. It was started about 1904 by a few lovers of music, for
the sole purpose of enjoying an hour of community singing. It has now
become a regular part of the school program, meeting at the 1 o'clock hour
every Tuesday. Since music (as one author states) is one of the four
fundamental elements of life -the purpose of the club is to learn to
appreciate and reproduce the better type of music suited to a girls'
chorus in any com-munity. The early efforts of the club this year resulted
in rendering several selections for the student assembly. The latter part
of the year was spent in preparing an operetta, " The Feast of the Little
Lanterns," which was given in April. This proved to be the debut of our
most talented members. Sometimes our individual precepts have been rather
indefinite, our interest has sometimes shifted to other scenes. But
through the persistent labors of our director, Mrs. Thatcher, we have in
the end reached our goal. But as a whole, our climb has been so
interesting that few members have dropped out prematurely. But this club
is not all work. We have enjoyed many social evenings and look forward to
many more next year. Wise is she who joins. - GRACE G. GREEN

. E. Mar (lub At the beginning of the first quarter (1919) eight had
entered the newly organized course in physical education. These eight met
one day in the gymnasium and decided informally to organize a club,
planning our first good time-a hike to Chuckanut. This was followed by an
early morning breakfast up Sunset Trail. Some weeks later a strictly
gymnastic dinner was cooked and served in the Domestic Science rooms. It
was Hallowe'en Eve as I remember, and the only goblins were those
partaking in the delicious eats. Just before Christmas we were good as we
could be and were rewarded with a mock track meet given by Misses Moffat
and Williams. " Pep" and skill were not lacking. The elephant's miraculous
stunts at the circus will long be remembered with jovial laughter.
Another breakfast! This time at Initial Rock. Here as before the coffee
deserves honorable mention. It was just like mother used to make before
she learned how to cook. Hurrah! twelve more have realized the great value
and need of physi-cal education and have entered the course with us. We
hope to see many more take up the work with the realization that health is
necessary for the attainment of every worthy ambition and achievement.
May they go forth to teach this, the first work of the school, with
whole-hearted interest and enthusiasm. Seventy-eight

~ee~x0 Few groups without regular officers or time of meeting have so
per-sistently pursued their purpose as have the Young Housekeepers. The
dean, Miss Woodard, has for the past few years interested herself in the
welfare of the many girls who do their own housekeeping, and at intervals
has called them together for discussion, consultation and mutual help.
During this year there were not many gatherings, but reports of those few
were scattered broadcast. Among the items in a certain news-paper were some
quite unbelievable stories about what the Normal girls were doing to the
H. C. of L. After musical selections, the main points of interest at the
meetings were definite study of the food value in calories of our most
common foods; balanced rations from the standpoint of the main elements in
them; their cost, and labor-saving devices. Different houses tried to see
which would excel in offering the best menu for a reasonable price. These
gatherings were very profitable, and if the Young Housekeepers did not
serve refreshments at their meetings they at least had much " food for
thought." Seventy-nine

Women, for the purpose of co-operating with the working girls and meeting
the difficulties arising in their several lines of employment. The one
big social feature of the year was the Business Girls' banquet, which was
given in the Normal Cafeteria. The hall was artistically hung with
clinging ivy and draperies in the league colors of blue and white. Miss
Estelle Burnside acted as toastmistress, while the toasts were given by
the following honorable members: Mrs. Samuel Gompers (Estelle Burn-side),
Mrs. Herbert Hoover (Hilda M. Freeman) Julia Lathrop, Chief, (Oceola

another bon-fire at Lake Geneva and consumed " eggs on the half shell."

Alaska Club member, and will add that should you do so, you will never
regret it. Not a happier group could be imagined than those who answered
the call issued at the beginning of the second quarter. Upon being
organized the club planned its first event. It might prop-erly be called a
rush down to Camp Perfection. No one could make any of the members who
were there admit that they did not have the time of their lives, though it
is rumored that the bill of fare was limited to catsup, cookies, buns and
pickles. The club's second affair of the quarter was a banquet and theater
party. Everyone who was there declared that they had a good time. During
the early part of the third quarter, the club enjoyed an outing at Mr.

Party," held in the big gymnasium, where we united with the members of the
Lewis and Cowlitz Club. The next event was a hike to Squalicum Beach
accompanied by the members of the Everett Club. Since then we enjoyed a
breakfast on the top of Sehome Hill. Eighty-seven

Reporter OUR "SCHOOL HOME " If we dare say it, and who has a better
right, the last bunch of the old " dorm " has been the best bunch a house
could wish! Our many distinguished members include our worthy officers,
musi-cians (even some who could actually run the phonograph!), artists,
vocalists (some voices " sound like thunder," others merely " shriek "!),
but we truly have some excellent singers, aesthetic dancers, readers
(famous as " story tellers "!), and - but we can't begin to enumerate our
talents! Among our fondest memories we count our spreads, hikes, slumber
parties, dancing parties (including second-floor events!), " others," and
theater parties. The " Red Kimona," too, is now a memory and we have
serpentined our welcome to Miss Mead, who has come to us replacing Miss
Woodard. The dearest memory of all will be of our house mother, Mrs.
Powell. We hope that the inhabitants of the new Edens Hall will have her
with them to brighten their days. This is the biggest and best we can wish
for them. Eighty-eight - AGATHA FOLEY

years, organized as a purely social club. This year we have had many
opportuni-ties for social gatherings, the most prominent one being our
Hallowe'en party held at the Assumption School with the Juniors and
Seniors of that institution. Each one of us appreciates the privilege of
being brought closer together in a social way and we are sorry that the

DES MOINES DELEGAIES were formed which have ripened into friendships
during the year. Punch and wafers were served. After the organization of
the cabinet the work moved along rapidly. The chairman of the Bible Study
Committee soon had classes organized in the largest rooming houses on the
hill. About two hundred fifty have been enrolled in these classes. The Y.
W. C. A. has been serving the school in a very practical way through their
management of the cafeteria. Miss Brown, the Northwest Field Secretary,
visited in early November to interest us in the great Student Volunteer
Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, during the Christmas vacation. We are
proud to think that our Student Body, Faculty and Alumni with the
assistance of the Y. W. made it possible to send our full quota of six
delegates to this convention. The annual Bible Institute was held January
15 to 18. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, came again to be our speaker. This,
as in other years, was a time of great inspiration. The Association has
been especially blessed by the visits of mission-aries this year. First,
Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Clark brought us a message of opportunity from India.
Next, Rev. Stanley Soltau made us feel the heroism and the wonderful faith
of the Koreans. Miss Cable and the Misses French brought us greetings from
two of our own students, Lydia Berthold and Nina Gemmell, in China. These
glimpses into the foreign field broadened our vision of Christian service.

14titu lahattatt At the suggestion of Dr. Miller there was formed at the
beginning of the school year an organization termed by outsiders as " The
Men's Auxil-iary." Its membership included all of the men of the school,
both faculty and student, and its aim was to promote clean, wholesome
fellowship among the men students and to otherwise foster a spirit of
friendliness and co-operation among its members. Several genuine " stag "
socials were held during the year, which were judged by all concerned to
be the greatest gloom chasers in history. 0519 ooIterr After Christmas
some of the young men who had been prominent in student activities met and
formed " The Boosters." Though social in nature, this club was formed
along an entirely different line from any then existing in the Normal
School. The object of the club is to foster good spirit among the
students as a whole and between the organizations of the school. It aims
to promote an interest in the Normal among the high school students, many
of whom do not understand the work of this school either because it has
not been brought to their attention, or because they are indifferent.

irainin g r! ol HE physical and chemical laboratories are in the north
wing of the building; but in the south wing the Normal has a different
sort of a laboratory, one where the pedagogy and psychology of the
Seniors are tested out. Test tubes and retorts of chemical lab-oratories
give no account of experi- ments carried on in them; but the children of
the Training School bear a permanent impression and can give an account
of the experi-ments which the Seniors have been conducting with them for
subjects. 'With this in mind, late in April, the children of the Training
School were asked to write what things they had done during the year,
which they considered the GERTRUDE Supt. most interesting with a reason
for EARInT Tr. Dept. the answer. The answers of these questions are a
measure of the success of the experiments, which have been performed in
the Training School this year. The first grade children cover a greater
diversity of impressions in their reports than any other class. They tell
about work for various holidays beginning with Hallowe'en. They like to
play stories because they are so " inter-sting." They go to the library to
see the pictures and read the Peter Rabbit books. They make a wigwam and
Indian life groups on the sand-table, an Eskimo scene and a cotton field
with negro workers. They also mention nearly every activity of their
school day, including moving pictures, lunch room, " where we learn to act
nice," and "'Semblies." In the second grade we get the first idea of
studying a thing because "It's good for me." The children are interested
in the May-pole dance they are learning, in the sand table and in their
songs. The third grade worked out several projects in history which remain
in their memories, among them the Viking Boat, an Egyptian House and a
Pioneer Wagon. The fourth class tell of their history projects as making a
Greek temple; their excursoin as when they studied a bay; their garden
project and number work which grew out of that. They also tell about the
costume designing in drawing. The fifth and sixth grades enjoy
particularly their various dramatiza-tions. They mention some history
dramatization and explain how this makes their work more interesting. They
tell how the dramatization in English makes them more careful in
punctuation, capitalization and also Ninety-three
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 94
----------
that it helps them " to speak better." Much interest is shown in their
Book of Myths of Bellingham, and the magazines for the hospitals. The
reasons given by the Junior High School pupils for their work are more
clearly defined. Many of them speak of some project in English and say
that they gained a greater appreciation for literature and sometimes the
moral is mentioned. The benefits gained in punctuation, in the use of
verbs, in the mechanics of writing and in general information are all
given as reasons why they approve English project. The children see the
advantage of the superiority of the Senior plans as well as the Senior,
herself. One teacher devised the scheme for three of the class to act as
judges to decide whether tolics were satisfactorily handled. The 7-A pupil
who reports this says, " This made us study our lessons more thoroughly."
Manual training has interested the boys because of the articles of
furniture they were able to make for their homes. One class measured and
calculated the cost of the excavation for the new dormi-tory. The pupils
also tell what they gained from excursions made early in the year when
studying types of industry. These reports from the children prove that the
Seniors have put their pedagogy and psychology into practice; and have show
themselves able to handle the very latest frills in education in such a
way as to be both inter-esting and beneficial to the children. TRAINING
SCHOOL ATHLETICS The boys' basketball was not as successful this year as
in the past. This was largely due to insufficient practice, as the boys
were deprived of practice periods to a large extent. Nevertheless they
worked hard and faithfully, practicing whenever they could. Out of a total
of eight games three were won. The games won were against Ferndale, Scout
Troop 4 and Roeder. A good showing was made against the large heavy team
from Lowell and in the last game with Franklin the score was only 12 to 13
at the close of the game. The boys were coached by Arthur E. Bowsher. On
April 2bth the boys were presented their letters. Those earning letters
were Lester White, Vance Radvaney, forwards; Claude Snitzler, center;
Arnold Wastrom, Montford Alsop, guards; Weston Hayes and Elmer Peterson,
substitutes. The girls' team won two games out of three played. These were
from Franklin. The game lost was with Lowell. After this game the Training
School girls served refreshments to the two teams which were enjoyed by
all. Ninety-four

THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Entertainments THE PRODIGAL SON The
Oratorio Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, gave the oratorio "
The Prodigal Son" at the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, February 13th.
At Liberty Hall Sunday evening the oratorio was repeated to a very large
and appreciative audience. There were several very beautiful solos, duets
and quartets given by Mrs. G. W. Nash, soprano; Mrs. H. W. Spratley,
contralto; Mr. Oscar Shaw, tenor, and Mr. C. B. Harter, bass. The
accompanists were Miss Maud Williams and Miss Edith Kesler. The whole
oratorio was beautifully rendered and reflected much credit on the
director. THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Under the direction of Mrs.
Thatcher, the Choral Club gave one of the most artistically beautiful
programs of the whole year when they presented " The Feast of the Little
Lanterns," a Chinese operetta by Paul Bliss, Friday evening, April 23.
The stage was artistically decorated with colored lanterns and bright
flowers. The chorus and cast, dressed in their gayly colored costumes,
gave us many beautiful songs and dances. The Oriental atmosphere of the
operetta carried the entire audience to the distant land of China where
they all spent a most delightful evening. The soloists were Dora Agee,
Irene Stewart, Anaide Myers, Ethel Burk-land, Helen Jones, solo dancer;
Elwood Davis, Ira Loree and Archie Erick-son. THE NORMAL QUARTET The
mixed quartet, consisting of Pearl Ingalls, soprano; Grace Thatcher, alto;
Elwyn Bugge, tenor, and Mr. M. B. Thatcher, bass, who substituted for Guy
Stickney during his absence, have given some pleasing entertainments
during the year. They went to Lawrence and other places near here, giving
an evening's program in each place. Their program consisted of quartet
numbers, duets, solos and violin music by Mr. Bugge. Victoria Huston went
with them as reader and Edith Kesler as piano soloist. The quartet was
organized and directed by Mrs. Thatcher, whose efforts helped to make. the
organization a distinct success. Ninety-five

dinner proves to be a success and Susan and Guildford steal quietly away

midst of the rejoicing Mrs. Guildford, a very cold and dignified per-son,

is already the third girl to whom Ripley had been engaged. Mrs. Corbett
remains a staunch friend to Ripley Guildford through all the trouble and
tries to make Susan see her mistake in dismissing Ripley. Mr. Corbett, who
has won considerable fame in his brave deeds in South Africa, tries to
enlist in the present war, but at first is refused because of his age, but
finally he is accepted. Hobbs also enlists and is likewise accepted.

00 0, EXTRACTS FROM THE BELLINGHAM HERALD BELLINGHAM, WASH., SEPT. 20,
1919. - The Normal students of the Bellingham Normal were very
delightfully entertained at the Association Mixer on September 19, at the
Normal on the hill. The first part of the evening was spent in the
auditorium with " stunts" pulled off by the various occupants of the
different houses on the hill. After the stunts they very quietly
adjourned down the banisters to the big gymnasium, where they all joined
in games and contests which lasted until someone called " Eats! " With a
great amount of hesitation they rushed to the " eats " booth where ice
cream and wafers were dealt out without even the asking. After this cool
reception they all went home, well pleased with " Normal society."
BELLINGHAM, WASH., DEC. 16, 1919. - Last evening the " minority" of the
Bellingham Normal banqueted and enjoyed their own society to the utmost.
Along with their other ingredients they swallowed speeches, impromptu and
otherwise, toasts, songs and yells - until all wished for more elasticity
to the membrane of some parts of their anatomy. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FEB. 7,
1920. - Last night at the Normal occurred one of the most interesting
events in the history of Bellingham. This was a genuine Country Fair,
staged by the students of the school. After an intensely interesting
comedy and vocal solos in the auditorium, the entrance to the grounds were
thrown open - only to be filled by the rush of Bellingham's population.
Here they were entertained with events ranging from grand opera to dog
show. Some of the special features were vaudeville, fortune telling, stock
shows, rogues' gallery, baby contest and eats. Never in the life of the
big gym has the moon witnessed such an evening of co-operated pep and
whole-hearted enjoyment as that of last night. BELLINGHAM, WASH., MARCH
6, 1920.- Friday evening, March 5, the men of the Normal enjoyed
themselves at a smoker held in the small gym. Numerous forms of
entertainment were indulged in, such as boxing, wrestling, racing and
horizontal and parallel bar exhibitions. Following this violent exercise
they were refreshed with cider and doughnuts. BELLINGHAM, WASH., APRIL 17,
1920.-- One of the events of the year at the Bellingham Normal that
depends upon the weather-cock is the annual Chuckanut Marathon which was
celebrated by the students on Saturday, April 17, 1920. One Hundred

Among (Our Thtiters THEO. KARLE Theo. Karle, the great American tenor,
gave us one of the treats of the season when he appeared at the Normal,
October 13. His mastery of vocal technique, diction and musicianship give
him equipment enabling him to present artistically the widest range of
song literature. His voice mastery was admirably displayed in the
Beethoven aria, " My Heart Is Sore." But the beauty and tenderness
displayed in the shorter, simpler songs won the sincerest applause.
CAROLINA LAZZARI Of all the musical programs which we were privileged to
attend none was more enjoyed than the concert given by Carolina Lazzari,
contralto. Her wide range, rich full tones and charming personality help
make her one of the few great artists of today. MRS. MAUD E. WILLIS Mrs.
Willis gave us an interesting program of plays in our auditorium November
28. She is called "an interpreter of plays" and justified the title in her
interpretation of " The Witching Hour," the play of Augustus Thomas. Mrs.
Willis is a woman of charming presence and a clear, pleasant voice, which
won much applause from her audience. DR. ANNA REED Dr. Anna Reed, who
came to us from Washington, D. C., where she is director of the junior
division of Employment Service. She gave us a series of very interesting
lectures. Dr. Reed showed herself to be a woman of rare personality, a
very forceful as well as entertaining lecturer. TOM SKEYHILL Tom Skeyhill,
an Australian war poet, speaker and soldier, appeared as the third number
of our lecture course. As a speaker too much can not be said of his
ability and after one has become used to the " English " in his voice, one
sits spellbound or rocks with laughter as the case might be. He gave a
lecture on "The Poetry of the War." LORADO TAFT On Monday evening, March
15, Lorado Taft, a prominent American sculptor, appeared at the Normal as
the sixth number of our lecture course. He gave an illustrated lecture on
" Rambles With the Boys in Burgundy." Many beautiful slides were shown,
bringing out the art work on old cathe-drals, churches and monuments. Mr.
Taft's lecture was very entertaining, and it was punctuated with bits of
humor. FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet, often spoken of as the
finest stringed quartet in existence, appeared here April 24 as the last
number of our Lyceum Course. Their perfection of technic, remarkable
blending of tone and musical attainments rank them first in artistic merit
as an organization. One Hundred Two

FIRST PRIZE STORY GEORGE STEPHENS IPSY stood in the middle of the road
holding his broad straw hat in his hand, watching a horse and buggy
disappear in a cloud of dust in the distance. Then he turned and climbed
to the top of a high gate under the oaks by the roadside. Alone with his
thoughts he sat with his freckled face buried in his hands, thinking of
the work his guardian, Mr. Ross, had told him to do the next (cd The
next day was the Fourth of July, and Mr. and Mrs. Ross had gone to town to
stay a couple of days, leaving Gipsy in charge of the farm. He sat for
some time listening to the hogs cracking acorns under the oaks, with now
and then a satisfied grunt coming from them. The soft breeze blew his long
red hair about his face. When the sun sank lower long shadows crept across
the road and out in the meadow a lark sang its last song of the evening.
Finally he was aware that tears were trickling down his face. Wiping them
on the sleeve of his shirt he slipped hurriedly to the ground and followed
a path to the grove by the spring. His homespun breeches dangled half way
between his knees and bare feet as he walked along. He whistled to keep up
his courage. When he came to the barnyard he was greeted by a friendly
whinny from an old white mare that stood under a sagging cow shed. Gipsy
had traded a bushel of small Irish potatoes and a gallon of molasses to a
band of gypsies who had been passing through the country the fall before,
for that old white mare. He was known as Gipsy ever since by the
neighbor-hood boys. For the first time he lead the mare into the barn, for
Mr. Ross had forbidden him to bring her there. He was to keep her under
the cow shed and feed her on fodder. The protruding hip bones of the mare
showed conclusively that fodder was not a very substantial food. Johnny
Lucey, a neighbor boy, said " She looked more like a hat rack than a
horse," and so saying he walked up and hung his hat on her hip bone where
it hung until Gipsy, red with anger, grabbed it and threw it over the
fence into the corn field. Gipsy led the mare right into a box stall, then
brought a heaping bucket of oats and dumped them into the feed box. The
mare stuck her nose into the oats, and lifting her head she looked at him
thoughtfully. Then the boy climbed into the hay loft and filled the manger
with hay. Jumping One Hundred Three

down he went to the house and after glancing hastily around to see that
everything was all right, he returned to the barn, patted the mare gently
on the nose and climbed to the hay loft for the night. He lay awake for
some time on the new mown hay and watched the full yellow moon climb into
the sky. It reminded him of another night a long, long time ago when he
lay awake on a little white bed near a window, while his mother walked the
floor nervously. Finally three gun shots echoed in quick succession down
the mountain side and a few minutes later his father plunged into the
room, holding his hand to his bleeding heart. Next day he died and a few
weeks later his mother died of a broken heart. The day had come for him to
leave the mountains. When he was going around the last bend down the road
he looked back at the large tree which he knew sheltered the graves of his
mother and father. Now as he lay on the hay watching the moon he saw two
little stars close together, twinkling. " One is mother and one is
father," he whispered and dozed off to sleep. He arose early next morning
and going to the smoke house he ate a hastily prepared breakfast of cold
corn bread and milk. He looked wist-fully at the house where he knew there
were lots of honey and good things to eat, but Mrs. Ross had taken what
she wanted him to eat to the smoke house near the spring and had told him
not to enter the house. After milking the cow he turned the mare into the
large pasture among the blue grass and clover, took his hoe and started
for the corn field on the hot hillside back of the house where 'Mr. Ross
had told him to work. He hacked away at the tall weeds along a row of corn
down to the other end of the field, then back. The sun was boiling hot and
he felt the sweat trickling down his back. He sat down in the shade of a
mulberry tree and watched a large chicken hawk go sailing lazily by
toward the wood where it lighted on a dead snag. Finally the boy heard his
name called. Getting upon a stump he saw Johnny Lucey and Skinny Fuller
coming up the hill; each boy carried a fishing pole over his shoulder. "
Whoope Oh, Gipsy," came the cry. Gipsy's laziness instantly disappeared
and he ran down the hill to meet them. " Come on Gipsy," said Johnny. "
Let's go fishing." " Oh, I reckon I can't nohow," drawled Gipsy. " Oh,
yes ye can. Jest ye come ahead, an me an Skinny will hep ye all hoe corn
tomorrow, an old man Ross won't know it nohow." After fifteen or twenty
minutes' argument the boys persuaded Gipsy to go with them. Arriving at
the turnpike Gipsy discovered he had no fish-hook. " Oh, take a pin,"
suggested Skinny. They searched their clothing but could not find a pin.
" Oh, gee! I ain't goin' if I can't fish," exclaimed Gipsy. Suddenly a
horse and buggy and two girls appeared from a bend down the road. "I have
a scheme," said Johnny, tossing his fish pole to Gipsy, " jest ye watch
your Uncle Jake," and he proceeded down the road walking lamely. Soon the
horse and buggy drew up and the elder girl inquired why the boy was
limping. One Hundred Four
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 105

Oh, I jest stuck a splinter in the bottom of my foot and I ain't got airy
a pin to pick it out. The girl searched in her waist for a pin, then
climbed to the ground with a sympathetic look. She handed the pin to
Skinny who passed it to Johnny; she motioned for the boy to come nearer so
she might help him. Suddenly the boys darted away down the road kicking up
a cloud of dust as they went. The girls looked after th'em in surprise.
The boys climbed a rail fence and struck out across a field toward the
creek. " Oh, let's go wadin'! " said Skinny, " maybe we can find some
soft-shell turtles over by the sand bar." " Let's do! " exclaimed Johnny.
Gipsy followed willingly as they ran splashing down the shallow stream.
At last they came to a deep hole by the cliff, sheltered by the dense
foliage of the trees. Skinny ran out in the field and dug some worms with
a stick. Then he and Johnny divided their lines with Gipsy, who tied the
pin, which he had bent in the shape of a hook, to the string. After
several hours of fishing, which netted Skinny one perch, Johnny two and
Gipsy one sucker, they showed signs of discontent. Gipsy yawned and
stretched then " accidently," on purpose, knocked the can of bait into the
water. Skinny jumped to his feet and threw his perch after the can. " Go
to thunder, bait and fish; come on, fellers, let's go down to old Mr.
Brown's place and steal some muskmelons." " It ain't right to steal,"
returned Gipsy, quietly. " Oh, who's askin' ye to steal," demanded Johnny,
" Jest ye watch your Uncle Jake." The boys crept cautiously down the
creek toward the Brown farm, taking the lines from their poles as they
went. Climbing the picket fence to the garden they sneaked along behind
some blroom corn toward the muskmelon patch, whose vines they could see
stretched over the ground with the much coveted fruit on them. As Skinny
got hold of a big yellow one ready to snap it from the vine, they heard a
voice nearby: " Well, well! boys, so you have come to call on an old
man." Glancing around they saw an old man walking with a cane, emerge
from the broom corn patch, his soft blue eyes smiling with friendliness.
"I am so glad you have come," continued the old man, " very few people
call on us now days and you must come right along over to the house. I
know Mrs. Brown will be just as glad to see you as I am." Johnny looked at
Skinny with almost a lump in his throat. "Just ye wait, Mr. Skin," he
threatened in a loud whisper, "just ye wait. I'll fix ye, getting us to
come here and get caught." " Let's run," advised Skinny. The old man had
started for the house, chuckling to himself. He motioned for the boys to
follow. Gipsy started after him, whispering back, " Come on, fellers,
don't be afraid of an old man. Come ahead, Johnny, and tell him about your
Uncle Jake." .Johnny and Skinny followed shyly. They found that Mrs. Brown
was a little bundle of good nature who smiled and looked over her

at them. She seemed to take special interest in Gipsy and eyed his long
baggy breeches with sympathy. She invited the boys to the front porch
which was shaded by low spreading branches of a locust tree. Old Glory
waved from an old flag pole and cast its shadow on the steps of the porch.
They sat in some home made rockers with deep cushions in them. Mr. Brown
sat opposite Gipsy and began telling them a story of his boyhood days.
They could hear Mrs. Brown humming a hymn as she walked quietly about her
work in the kitchen. After an interval she appeared at the door and
announced dinner. The boys looked at each other sheepishly as they followed
the two kind old people into the house. The table was spread with a snowy
white cover and set for five. Gipsy was to sit between Mr. and Mrs. Brown
and Johnny and Skinny on the opposite side. First Mrs. Brown brought out a
large platter of fried chicken; then mashed potatoes, green peas, green
onions, radishes and last of all muskmelons. The boys looked at each other
shyly and as Johnny said afterwards, they thought the dreaded moment had
arrived, but Mr. Brown's look was as indifferent as his voice and not a
word was said or hinted at about stealing muskmelons. After dinner Mr.
Brown took the boys through the lower part of the garden where he had
planted some watermelons and gourds. Some of the gourds had vined up a big
oak tree and hung down as if they had been placed there with care. Skinny
was sent to the barn after a sack which Mr. Brown filled with muskmelons
and small watermelons. Finally the boys departed for home, promising to
call again soon. They lugged the sack up Clover Hill. Then they sat down
to rest in the shade of a sycamore tree. For some time they remained
silent, then Johnny began to cry. Skinny said nothing but swallowed
several times and looked away at the blue mountains. A flock of noisy
little birds flew by. Gipsy got to his feet and stammered out: " Oh,
shoot, fellers, 'taint goin' to do no good nohow! " After talking over
what they should do, they hid the melons in a fence corner among some
goldenrod. Gipsy said good-bye to the boys and walked up the hill toward
home. Johnny and Skinny went by a short cut through the woods. When Gipsy
came to a moss covered log he sat down and soon he began to cry. He
finally lay down among the tall grass and drifted leaves, looked up
through the branches of the tall trees at the white drifting clouds and
murmuring several times, "Oh, if she was only my mother! " Taking up his
way again he came to the top of a hill where he could look down upon the
Ross farm in the valley. The hush of the summer's evening settled down
upon the valley. He could see several white chickens walking slowly toward
the hencoop to roost, the tinkle of a cowbell echoed from the clover field
and the rattle of a wagon came from down the turn-pike. He loped down the
hill at an easy gait, and after milking the cow went to the clover field,
climbed to the top of the rail fence and called to his old white mare. He
whistled several times, then he got down and walked along the fence to a
clump of blackberry bushes. He called again. After an interval a full moon
appeared from behind old Thunder Mountain, One Hundred Six
-----------

flashing its clear rays out over the valley, revealing a white object
stretched out on the ground at a little distance from him. Gipsy smiled
and whis-pered, " Sleeping." He crept slowly up but the mare did not move
as he approached. In surprise he caught her mane and lifted her head, but
it fell back heavily and a pair of white glassy eyes stared up toward the
sky. An hour later when Mr. Brown and Judge Fields came to the Ross farm
looking for Gipsy they found him sitting on a fence corner crying. When
Gipsy saw them coming he howled louder than ever and pointed out to the
mare and mumbled out between sobs, " She's dead, she's dead." The two men
walked over to the mare. Gipsy heard them say that she had eaten too much.
Mr. Brown walked back to Gipsy, picked him up and carried him to the road
where he and the Judge had left the horse and buggy. That night in a
little room with white walls and blue ceiling Gipsy lay awake listening to
Mr. Brown and Judge Fields talking out in the sitting room. Finally he
heard them make arrangements for him to stay with Mr. Brown. Gipsy cried -
then he got out of bed and walked to the window and gazed out into the
moonlit night. Way up toward the moon two tiny stars twinkled brightly, "
Mother and father are happy, too," he whispered as he tiptoed back to bed.
3 wlatd AN INCIDENT THE GEORGE STEPHENS weeks had grown into months and
the months into twenty years since the ill-fated ship ran on a sunken reef
near the South Sea Islands. The only survivor, a tall, handsome
Englishman, a perfect specimen of manhood, had at first looked upon his
isolated life with indif-ference. Taking advantage of the wreckage, he
built a rude but comfortable hut in a grove of tall palm trees at one end
of the largest islands near where he had been washed ashore the day of the
disaster. His health wore slowly away with the years and at the end of the
nineteenth year he could no longer concentrate his mind upon his flock of
tame tropical birds nor could he hunt cocoanuts and dates for any length
of time without a sudden wild dash along the white, sandy beach in the
boiling surf murmuring and screeching to himself. Occasionally a ship
appeared far away on the horizon. The days came and went much the same.
Now and then the solitude was broken by the shrill cry of a large parrot,
or the deep, heavy breathing of the sea, or the wind as it moaned sadly
through the palms to remind the man that he was alone. One night, the
full, yellow moon rose lazily above the quiet blue sea. The man, with
wild, hollow eyes sat on a little grassy knoll watching the approach of a
large steamer. Now and then a faint yellow light gleamed from the ship.
The man arose suddenly and followed a dim path down One Hundred Seven
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 108
----------
the cliffs to the beach. He walked slowly along until he came to a large
flat rock. He knelt and examined the rock carefully. He ran his long bony
fingers through his matted hair. The name " Ellen " was carved on the
rock, but was badly worn by the waves. He arose, his half-starved body
shaking with hunger, and whispering to himself he stretched his long bony
arms toward the moon. A big red and green parrot flew to his shoulder and
cried out shrilly, " Ellen, Ellen, Ellen." The man slowly regained his
mind. His whole past life flashed before him. He made a few wild leaps up
the cliff to his hut. Grabbing some coals of fire, he ran to the edge of
the cliff and with the aid of the tall, dry grass soon had a small blaze
started. The ship was now passing nearby and faint sounds of music drifted
in with the hot sea breeze. The man's mind left him as suddenly as it had
returned and when the fire took a sudden leap upward, he jumped upon it
and trampled it out with his bare feet. Then he dashed wildly down the dim
trail, along the beach in the wake of the boiling surf, screeching and
waving his arms above him. His flock of tame parrots answered from the palm
grove. Enu in 1920 SECOND PRIZE STORY PEARL STOUGHTON WELL, it's leap
year," announced Ted Carewe. " Un," grunted Jeremiah Pettigrew from the
depths of a huge volume on " Organic Acids." To Jeremiah nothing was of
any im-portance that did not pertain to chemistry. " Say, Jerry, aren't
you afraid for your scalp? " flung in Jack Wells. On occasions the boys
undertook to teach Jeremiah a few of the experiences of Normal college
life but in vain. He clung obstinately to his ferrocynides and
bicarbonates until the attempts of his friends had descended to mere
joking. " What say?" he asked, now looking up suddenly through his round
tortoise-shell glasses. " Why, it's leap year, man," cried Ted. " Leap
year? " asked Jeremiah regarding a diagram interestedly. " You bloomin'
blockhead! Don't you know that during leap year the ladies may propose to
the gents? You must beware! " chortled Phil Hardy. " Ladies propose! "
ejaculated Jerry with a scandalized look. " Sure," said Phil, winking at
Ted. " You want to look out. I heard Bess Holden say just recently that
you had such a romantic nose, she thought she'd try for you." Jeremiah
recalled the dashing, brilliant Bess and shuddered. During all his
studious life he had above all things avoided girls, but now - " They -
they don't really. You're just guying me - " he wavered. " Indeed not,"
Jack assured him solemnly. " It's gospel truth. You One Hundred Eight

see you've never gone after the girls so they're going after you. I noticed
Blanche Wilson watching you in class this morning. Now she's not a bad
sort -" "Say, clear out of here. I've got to get this formula straight,
right now! " he shouted in desperation. Contrary to all precedent the
trio withdrew meekly. However, had Jeremiah's hearing been keen he might
have heard the low murmuring that proceeded from Jack's room across the
hall. "- - scare him stiff - girls'll never know - some joke on the old
boy! I'll bet he'll beat it worse than ever! " " I say, let's get little
Ann Mayo in ---- " came Phil's voice. " Nix," ordered Ted. The lecture
next evening offered an opportunity for their nefarious scheme to be put
in operation. " Say, Jerry, old man, will you do me a favor?" begged Phil
in an undertone. " Um," grunted Jeremiah, not pausing in his note taking.
" Harriet Franklin's here with her chum Blanche Wilson. Now you just see
Blanche over to the hall -- come along with us you know, and I'll be your
Aunt Isaac," coaxed the mischief maker. " Oh - I - - " began Jeremiah. "
Thanks, old man. Awfully kind. I'll do something for you some day," broke
in the rogue. "I say - I - " began Jerry again. " Sh - you're disturbing
the speaker," whispered Ted as he admin-istered a sharp dig in his
roommate's ribs. Jeremiah subsided, but his eyes, fixed on the speaker
were terror-filled. Phil saw that Jeremiah had no chance for a private
word before they joined the girls. Then he whispered, " Now with a little
tact, you know, she can be kept from " Jeremiah strode along in silence
beside the vivacious young lady. " Oh, Mr. Pettigrew, a penny for your
thoughts," came Miss Wilson's insinuating tones. Jeremiah realized with a
start that he was entirely alone with her. The others had dropped back. He
stammered dismally. " I'll bet you were thinking about me," announced the
young lady suddenly. What he said Jeremiah never knew. At all events it
was entirely inadequate to the situation. " Isn't the moonlight romantic,
Mr. Pettigrew? " she persisted. Jerry murmured something about never
having noticed, " Doesn't the soft glow just make your heart quiver - " At
this point Jeremiah lengthened his stride. He had noticed what had escaped
his companion - the proximity of the hall steps. " Why, Mr. Pettigrew, how
you walk! " she gasped. " Oh, yes- here we are - good night," he burst
forth and with a nervous twitch of his hat he vanished, leaving Blanche
overcome with One Hundred Nine

Klipsun, 1920 - Page 110

silent mirth. She was joined almost immediately by her co-conspirators and
all three rocked with laughter. Poor Jeremiah did not rest well that
night. His cheeks burned and quivers were running up and down his spine.
What if he should meet her again? WVhat if -but here he fell asleep to
dream of being pursued by a disheveled creature breathing smoke and flame.
By afternoon of the next day he could think of other things for a half
hour at a time. At last he betook himself to his beloved laboratory. Before
long he was deep in an experiment - so deep that he did not observe the
entrance of a small, thin, young lady who occupied the place next him. He
was aroused by a quiet, persistent voice. "I beg your pardon, Mr.
Pettigrew, but could you reach that bottle? Some one put it up high."
Jeremiah started and turned a deep crimson. " Excuse me, Miss Smith," he
murmured as he handed her the bottle. Julia Smith was a plain little woman
devoted to organic chemistry and utterly guiltless of coquetry, but to
Jeremiah she appeared to be a siren. He drew as far away from her as
possible and stared blindly at his dish of bubbling grease. At length he
gained control of himself sufficiently to reach for a tube of yellow stuff
from the rack. " Mr. Pettigrew, will you " But she was interrupted by a
loud sizzling and a cloud of smoke. Jeremiah's start had overturned a
beaker into his dish of grease. Miss Smith's scream brought several people
to the spot but Jeremiah had recovered his presence of mind and was wiping
up the mess with a dilapidated towel. This procedure brought his right hand
into view. " Oh! " cried Mliss Smith, " It's burned! " It was certainly
burned and in spite of his protestations Jeremiah was sent to a doctor.
The doctor pronounced the burn not serious and Jeremiah with an
interesting bandage caught the car for home. Unable to write because of his
burned hand Jeremiah found peace and quiet in his room. Just as life was
becoming quite normal again Ted rushed in with the announcement that they
both must attend a party at Morris Hall. In vain Jeremiah pleaded and
rebelled; his roommate was obdurate and in the end he submitted. If ever
there was a miserable man that man was Jeremiah Pettigrew as he entered
the cosy living room at Morris Hall. Ted immediately found his way into
the midst of a merry group and Jerry was left to his own devices. He found
a quiet nook watching the young people before him and marveling at their
fearlessness. At last his glance rested on a slim little miss in a fluffy
white dress. She was standing not far from him watching the others with
bright grey eyes and rosy parted lips. Jeremiah's gaze, however, was
riveted on her hair. He had never seen anyone's hair so coppery in color
and so curly. He felt a desire to catch one of the little rings that
clustered around her face. As he watched, Ted approached the girl and with
a laughing remark One Hundred Ten
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 111
----------
drew her into the group before the fire. Jerry longed to join them but
dared not. Some time later he was so near Ted and the red-haired miss that
his roommate introduced him. "Ann Mayo, the name fits her," he thought.
" Not half homely when he smiles," was Ann's mental comment. Jeremiah did
not say much. That would have been impossible, but his eyes followed Ann
wherever her bright head could be seen. It was a thoughtful Jerry that
left Morris Hall that evening. He decided that after all leap year might
not be such a bad affair. The next day as Jeremiah came down the library
steps, reading as he walked, he became aware of someone just ahead of him.
It was Ann Mayo. Flushing with embarrassment, he fell in step beside her,
choking out a feeble " Good morning." Then he waited wondering what would
she say. " crisp weather is the nicest for picnics." Jeremiah made an
attempt to reply and drew a deep breath. Ann chatted with him from the
library to the door of Morris Hall. When he left her Jeremiah felt that he
had done a bold and hazardous deed. In this pleasing frame of mind he
returned: home. When Ted came, he was overflowing with joy. There was to
be a big concert in town tomorrow. Everyone would be going. He thought
he'd ask - maybe Blanche Wilson - or, well - Ann Mayo. Suddenly a thought
flashed into Jeremiah's mind. For a second he was too dazed by the idea to
speak. Then with a burst of confidence he rushed to the telephone, leaving
the exuberant Ted open-mouthed. Still boldly he gave the number of Morris
Hall. While he waited for the answer all the terrors of his venture burst
upon him, appalling him. He had just decided to hang up the receiver and
flee when someone answered. Breath- lessly he asked for Ann Mayo. " Hello
- hello - is this Miss Mayo? Yes - this is - well - yes - I am - that is
-- I'm Jeremiah Pettigrew speaking. I - I heard - that is Ted - I mean I
heard about the concert and I thought -- I wish - that is -- I hoped --
oh, well - will you go with me? Thanks - eight, then. All right. Good-
bye." Trembling at his own audacity Jeremiah returned to his room. For
the rest of the day he turned a deaf ear to the sallies of Ted and .Jack.
Every time he thought of it he experienced a sinking sensation. He was so
absorbed that he paid no heed when Ted came in growling because "Ann Mayo
had other arrangements." He spent an unprecedented time getting ready the
next evening and yet he never felt so awkward and unprepared as he did
when he pre-sented himself at Morris Hall. Ann did not keep him waiting,
and with an almost enjoyable excite-ment he strode along beside her. His
face burned and his heart pounded. Ann chatted gaily on a hundred and one
topics but one person cannot make a conversation. Ann found it so and
after a time she, too, grew silent. To Jeremiah the silence was awful and
he made one or two valiant attempts to entertain her. By the time they
reached the theater Jeremiah One Hundred Eleven
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 112
----------
was watching one loose red curl and wondering how it would feel to be so
short. Ann was stealing side glances at her companion, noting the firm
mold of his chin and the dreamy light in the eyes behind the round glasses.
The concert may have been a success, but neither Ann nor Jeremiah heard
much of it. Each was considering the long silent walk home. It was as bad
as they had feared. Ann walked along in silence and Jeremiah had not the
courage to utter a word. The girls at Morris Hall looked very mysterious
when Ann entered, but her preoccupied air gave them no excuse to unburden
themselves. Jeremiah undertook to devote himself to his chemistry, but the
beloved subject had lost its charm. He found himself seeing Ann's face on
the page before him; the silvery ring of one bottle against another
suggested her laugh; the glowing fluid in his test tube was just the color
of her hair; the eddy and whirl of the ascending gases was like the wave
of her hair. He even noticed little Miss Smith was just Ann's height. At
last he went to the telephone and called her. With a vast amount of
embarrassment he managed to make her understand that he would like to
call. Could he have seen the half amused, half tender light in her grey
eyes as she listened to his halting words! With great nervousness he
dressed and fled from Ted's questions. As he neared Morris Hall his feet
lagged. Once he paused and almost turned, but he overcame the impulse and
ascended the hall steps. He rang the bell and was ushered into the hall
by a wise looking little person who went after Ann. Jeremiah suffered
tourtures before the girl appeared. Perhaps something of it was in his face
- certainly Ann saw something there that made her very kind to the
frightened young man. Jeremiah was, as ever, tongue-tied. He was quite
content to sit and watch the curl of Ann's hair, the sparkle of her eyes.
He felt no need of words. The girl fidgetted at his silence until the
humor of it struck her, flashing a dimple into view in one cheek. " Do it
again," he said involuntarily. " What?" she cried in amazement. " Oh - no
- nothing," he stammered, a deep crimson flaming in his cheek. " I -- I
must be going. He arose abruptly and departed forthwith, leaving Ann to
laugh softly as she ascended the stairs. " Oh, Ann," cried Blanche
Wilson, with a teasing inflection. " Oh, Ann," echoed several others, with
much laughter. " What is it? " she asked quickly. " Oh - Ann - did - did
you - oh - I shall die - " choked Blanche doubling with mirth. " Have you
anything to say? If so, get it out of your system quickly," advised the
girl coolly. The other girls joined in the laughter until weak and
wet-eyed they leaned against the wall. " Did - did you propose to dear
Professor Jeremiah? " giggled Blanche at last. " Not that I know of -
why?" One Hundred Twelve
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 113
----------
Dear me! I must tell you the joke. You know Ted Carewe - he told me. The
boys stuffed Mr. Pettigrew with a big tale about girls proposing and leap
year until Jeremiah was scared stiff! Oh - I shall die - when I think of
it! He's expecting the girls to propose. You should do your duty when he
gives you the chance. "I think you and Ted Carewe have been in big
business. I think Mr. Pettigrew is the truest gentleman here - and Ted,
the silliest puppy. You might both of you spend a little time learning
common decency from him," cried Ann with blazing eyes. With this she flung
herself into her room and slammed the door upon a group of very surprised
young ladies. The sudden spell of cold weather that fell on the little
town in no wise cooled Jeremiah's heated brain. He grew more absent-minded
than ever. He nearly blinded himself in the laboratory and generally
disgraced himself. Whatever ailed him he could not tell. In the midst of a
most absorbing lecture he would be staring straight before him, his pencil
twirl-ing uselessly in his fingers. Ann he did not see. Whatever she was
doing she succeeded in keeping out of his sight. About a week after his
call upon Ann he came home to find Ted in a great state of excitement. He
was getting up a skating party for the next afternoon and Jerry must go.
Jeremiah pleaded a headache and every other excuse, but in vain. The next
afternoon saw him well and warmly clothed plodding along in the rear of a
party of students bound for Lake Mary. Quite despond-ently he trudged
along, dangling his skates, until he heard above the clatter and laughter
a voice that sent a thrill through him. With startled intent-ness, like one
frightened out of a sound sleep, he straightened and surveyed his
companions. He saw her far in the lead, a small conspicuous figure in her
brown suit. From that moment he began to notice what was hap-pening around
him. When Ann's partner left her for a moment at the edge of the lake
Jeremiah awkwardly stepped up and offered to put on her skates. Ann
consented with faintly flushed cheeks, conscious of the impish glance of
Blanche Wilson. With a great deal of fumbling and awkwardness he finally
strapped them on and, rising, held out his hands. Ann accepted silently
and the pair swung out onto the lake quite unmindful of the wrathful
amazement of Ted and the amusement of Blanche. Jeremiah was a good skater
and Ann loved the sport. No happier couple swung across the ice that
chilly afternoon, although there was many a noisier pair. As they glided
he observed how the wind drove the rich red to her cheeks and loosened
sundry glowing curls. Ann was noticing the easy, tireless stride, the
quiet mastery with which he guided her. So absorbed was each that they did
not see the little inlet which they were approaching until it yawned
before them. " Oh! " she screamed - but too late. There was a great
splash! a sudden cold shock - and Jeremiah found himself in the icy water.
He made a motion to swim when he fel tsomething One Hundred Thirteen

beneath. He straightened and stood upright on the bottom of the creek. He
reached for the bit of brown and caught Ann's dress. He slid his arm about
her and held her for a second. " Stand up - the bottom is just down
there," he said. But the water reached to his shoulder and Ann was shorter
than that. She could not touch the sand and clung to him pitifully. Then
Jeremiah proved that he was a man as well as a genius. He gathered her
into his arms and waded shoreward. " Let me down now," she begged, as
they drew in closer. Jeremiah's answer was not in words, but it was very
plain to Ann. Several couples had heard Ann's scream and had seen the
accident from a distance, but so quickly had it all occurred that they
arrived at the spot just in time to behold the bedraggled young man openly
clasp the dripping young woman in his arms and express himself in several
moist smacks. " Heaven help us! " ejaculated Ted, pulling off his coat to
wrap Ann. What - what's happened! " Half an hour later in the big kitchen
of a nearby farmhouse Ann, clad in a dress far too large for her, came
shyly forth to greet Jeremiah, arrayed in garments several sizes too small
for him. " Come on, Blanche. We're not needed," cried Ted, shoving the
other occupants out of the room. Some time later Jeremiah ventured a
gentle observation: " We - we - we're engaged, aren't we? " One Hundred

FIRST PRIZE ESSAY LETHA S. DuCOMMUN I XVAS lost. I gazed helplessly
around, but no one came. In front of me were ridges of hills, trees and
thick underbrush. Night was fast falling, the sky became blacker and small
drops of rain pattered down on the ground beside me. I called out once,
then again, but all I heard was the echo. In my heart, I knew I must
find the answer to that echo, and it was not to be solved by gazing at the
already black sky, or wondering if some-one would come. I must go ahead.
So half walking, and half stumbling, I made my way over the first hill.
The briars cut me but still I went on. By this time, the rain came in
torrents and I stumbled and fell, but at last all out of breath, I reached
the next hill. What was that? A light! I knew that light was the answer to
my echo, but that answer could be obtained only in one way, by continued
effort and hard work. My face was dirty, and my clothes were torn by the
cruel briars, when at last I reached the gate of the farm house, the light
of which had guided and helped me on. But to my dismay, I was met by a
large dog which growled, broke the slender rope which bound him, and
jumped at me. Imagine if you can my relief when a pleasant voice said, "
Down, Rover, down," and then, " Come in, stranger, and make yourself at
home." The warmth of the fireplace and the kindly atmosphere of home were
like a healing benediction to my wounded and bedraggled spirits. Truly it
was the answer to my echo. How many have stood alone, lost on the hills
of knowledge, and calling out have received the echo, but have not, as
yet, secured its answer? The answer is there, but each one must find it
for himself. We are all receiving echoes every day. When the war came we
waited for a long time calling out, receiving the echo but letting its
answer wait. It was not until we sent our boys ahead with effort and hard
work that the answer came. Today, you and I are standing not on a hill,
but on the mountain of knowledge. The children who need us have given the
echo, for there is such a dearth in the ranks that we must find that
answer although it does mean hard work and low salaries. At first we do
not wish to face it - we call out -we hear just the echo; somehow,
somewhere ahead is the light, the answer to our echo. For our country and
for the future citizens, you and I must find that answer and count not
the cost. One Hundred Sixteen

What of omorrno? SECOND PRIZE ESSAY HERBERT HANSEN HE everlasting
question, "What of tomorrow? " is one that through-out all ages has been
puzzling mankind and to which many have essayed an answer. One thing is
certain, mortal man is not endowed with the power of prophecy, but it is
equally certain that coming events cast their shadows before them, so that
mankind, through a careful and candid consideration of the past and
present can to a large extent answer the time-old question and foretell
what the future has in store for them. America today is at the dawn of a
great tomorrow. The most gigantic struggle in the annals of time has just
ceased and the world has not yet recovered from the shock thereof.
Reconstruction is progressing slowly and meanwhile millions impatiently
are peering ahead and wondering what tomorrow holds in store for them.
Will it be a day of honor and glorious splendor, or will it prove a
disappointment - a blot to mar our national history? Momentous times are
there, and great, indeed, are the problems which face our leaders.
Foremost in our mind arises the question, what has America gained from the
war? What have we to show in return for the billions of dollars we spent,
and the thousands of lives that were sacrificed? What were the benefits of
the war and what do they tell of tomorrow? Before the war Germany
dominated the field of chemistry. Undis-puted her scientists reigned in
their laboratories, concocting all manner of infernal devices - also their
far-famed dyes. Every novelty or souvenir we purchased must bear the
unescapable mark of Germany. But the war has changed all this. No longer
is America dependent upon Germany, for no sooner had the war shut off our
supply of dyestuffs, than American chemists turned their dyes upon the
market. Not works of beauty, to be sure, but the war did start us in this
line of manufacture which is a benefit for which we should be devoutly
thankful. Commercially, a great tomorrow awaits America. Considering our
geographical position, it is but logical to assume that the bulk of South
American trade should be in our hands. Before the war, through our
neglect, we allowed the enterprising German salesmen to snatch this from
beneath our very eyes. Now that the war is over Germany is already
pre-paring for the commercial battle. Shall we of America sit idly by and
allow this fruit of victory to be snatched from our hands? What does
tomorrow hold in store for us? Shall we arise and maintain our commer-cial
supremacy, or sink into oblivion? Assuredly the promise of tomorrow is a
bright one if we but grasp it. But South America is not the only field
that beckons for American products. India, China and Japan are joining the
ranks of civilized nations and crying for manufactured articles. But at
that Japan is not so much a field for trade as a commercial rival. While
Europe has been devastated by war and the industries of the United States
turned into martial activities, One Hundred Seventeen
-----------
Klipsun, 1920 - Page 118
----------
Japan has not been idle. While the nations of the world that previously
led in mercantile activities have remained stationary, Japan has
progressed, and now the dawn of her tomorrow is a rosy one. Whether the
so-called "yellow peril" constitutes a serious menace or not, is another
and a lengthy question, but at this time it is a self-evident fact that if
America does not beware, Japan will sweep down with her now powerful
merchant marine and lick up the cream of the trade with other awakening
Oriental countries. Press dispatches from all sources at this time
indicate that Japan's expansion in foreign trade is regarded as general.
At present Japan has the advantage due to the slow progress of
reconstruction, but whether she shall permanently retain it or not is a
vital question upon which depends much of the glory of our tomorrow.
Another of the fields of trade mentioned above was India. Most of India's
315,000,000 obtain their living through agriculture. Primitize methods
were employed until recently but now the demands for American manufactured
products is unsatisfied and the possibility for trade with India is
limited only by our initiative. It is unnecessary to say more con-cerning
the trade prospects of America for the future. The dawn betokens a bright
tomorrow for commercial America. There are, however, other vital questions
demanding solution. Para-mount among these is the peace treaty and the
League of Nations. Undeniably the ideals of those advocating the League of
Nations are high and noble. War is always detrimental and any means that
would abolish it should be worthy of consideration. Whether the prophecies
of League advocates come true and war is forever Wiped from the face of
the earth remains to be seen, but as was said before, no man is a prophet,
and the lessons of yesterday and today do not speak well for the peace
league of tomorrow. The experiences of the immediate past do not indicate
that human agencies as yet can remove war from the world. If the linking
of the United States with the nations of Europe would promise well for our
tomorrow is one of the questions over which our statesmen are pon-dering
today. As yet the opening question, " What of tomorrow?" remains
un-answered, but as a glorious sunset foretells a glorious dawn, so does
today foretell a bright tomorrow. One Hundred Eighteen

and play. The sun is bidding the world good-night, And rosily tints the
skies; The pines, on the everlasting hills, Grow black, and daylight
dies. In peaceful rest On Nature's breast, The world in silence lies.

Cedars any more ? If Nettie G. is afraid of the (K)night? If Pinkney and

scrap? " Herby " Yorkston had a bass voice? E. Bond didn't drive her
Ford? Mr. Hunt couldn't read his newspaper? E. Burklund couldn't go to

WHO SAID THIS? "That's the dead line, come up here." "Absolutely not."
"This should be a socialized class." "How often should a baby be fed?" "
Now, I don't know." "Get into your character.' " It's the custom of the
clubs - "Rise and explain." "My uncle's grandfather said-" "I doubt
that, I doubt that." "Appoint yourself a committee of one -" "You big
boot, you! " A. Neander: "What does your father do for a living?" E.
Simpson: " Why, he takes up the collection in church." G. Weir: "I gave
Herbert the thirty- second degree last night." B. Day: "Are you a Mason?"
G. Weir: "No, but that's the freezing point, isn't it?" Miss Boring:
"When did the revival of learning take place?" Junior: "Just before the
quarterly test." From a newspaper: "Man dies as re-sult of hard drink.
He choked on a piece of ice." Senior: " Have you ever heard the story of
the two holes in the back yard?" Junior: "No." Senior: " Well, well!"
Mrs. Sangster: "Ta-ta, dearie; I shall write before the end of the week."
Mr. Sangster: "Good gracious; you must make that check last longer than
that." Innocent Junior: "I've heard of a Good Friday and an Ash
Wednesday, but what in thunder is a nut sundae?" Laugh and the teacher
laughs with you. Laugh again and you laugh alone. Teacher: "A fool can
ask more ques-tions than a wise man can answer." Student: "No wonder so
many of us flunk in our exams." Herbert Warrick (in Physics VI): " How
long is a short circuit? " THE MARATHON The shades of night were dark
o'ercast As up Mt. Chuckanut there passed Some youths who bore with manner
nice A banner with that strange device - "Seniors will win!" Their brows
were set, their eyes so deep Looked very much bereft of sleep. And ever
they were heard to sing On their way up the same old thing, " Seniors will
win!" And later there was seen to pass A Junior and a pretty lass.
Above the Senior's fires shone And from his lips escaped a groan, "
Juniors will win!" Try not the pass the Seniors said, But still straight
up the hill he lead The lass who walked on by his side, And loud and saucy
he replied, " Juniors will win! " At break of day was seen to be A
member of the faculty Climbing furiously and fast, And Seniors saw his
sign at last, " Instructors win!" " 0, stop! " the students cried - " and
rest." But their intent the traveler guessed. A twinkle flashed from his
blue eye, And he was heard to make reply, "No, we must win!" And all (lay
long by twos and more Their banners up the hill they bore, Pausing to eat
hot buns and dogs, But sat not long upon the logs - For each would win.
One man helped twenty maids or more Surmount the hill to boost the score.
A modest man lie was in truth, But brave, oh brave, must be the youth At
Normal School! Travelers by the way were found Exhausted - lying on the
ground, Still grasping in each grimy hand A banner which revealed their
band - " Juniors will win! " And many days they figured up To find who
won the silver cup, Until at last there came the day When in Assembly
Luke did say, "The Seniors won!" Irish: "I haven't slept for days?"
Black: "What's the matter, sick?" Irish: " No, I sleep at nights." Howard
Griggs: " Barber, how long will I have to wait for a shave? " Barber
(looking him over carefully): "Oh, about two years." Teacher: "Johnny,
tell me what you know about the Caucasian Race." Johnny: "I wasn't there.
I went to the baseball game." One Hundred Twenty-one

n jartiung HE work on this number of the Klipsun has, as with all
previous ones, been very interest-ing to those who have been actively
engaged in its production. Now that the work is finished, the staff
members will feel amply rewarded if the book to which they devoted so much
of their time serves as a pleasant and comprehensive review of the past
school year. Much credit is due to various students in the Art Department
for the admirable etchings that appear throughout the book. Especial
mention should be given to Miss Ruth Claassen, who sub-mitted the Klipsun
cover design, and to Miss Ethol Lewis, who designed the running head. The
Senior Class poem, which appears below the Senior etching, was written by
Misses Carrie and Evelyn Whittier. To the many others who have helped in
pro- during the 1920 Klipsun, we gratefully say, " We thank you." -

For the Young Business Man Some day the young business man will be a big
business man. Right now, perhaps, there isn't any money profit in
car-rying his checking account. But some day, as that account grows, and
as the owner grows with it, the bank will be repaid for having counseled
the young man, and co-operated with him in his business success. So, this
bank invites the young business man or woman who wishes to grow. We have
seen many a small account grow into a large one, and have earned the
thanks for help-ful service cheerfully rendered at all times. We want
your account. But, what is more, we want you as a growing business man or
woman to associate your-self with this bank. The First National Bank

THE U1NIVERSAL CAR Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford cars now in use,
about sixty percent have been sold to farmers. Probably no other one thing
has brought to the farm so much of comfort and profit as has the Ford
car. It has enlarged the social life, doubled the facilities for
market-ing, brought the town next door to the farm, multiplied for the
farmer the pleasures of living. A family car without an equal in low cost
of operation and maintenance. We solicit your rder for one now because
the demand is large and continually increasing. Diehl Simpson Co.
