Departing (flass MARIE FOLEY Lo! The portal drapes are parted, And we,
dear class, must o'er its Ihreshold go From school, into that arlifice
Called world-be wise, reserved; be sure and slow. Behind we leave the
happy days Of comradeship, our sweetest memory; That bond so builded thru
our years, It needs must somehow course our destiny. Ah! Fate, you
strange-you unknown power, K Cans't not give us a future like our past?
Reveal to us what lies beyond K Yon purple, parted drapes. Our lot is
cast; We list with eager ears to catch The valued words of wisdom, ere too
late To mold our lives accordingly- What says this strange--this unknown
power of fate. "Learning, love and fear of God, These gifts are given
you, departing class; Their price, no tempting gold can reach; Treasured
jewels and gilded halls, do these surpass. Though varied be your chosen
paths, Each goal, the Gate of Heaven, is the same. In life's deceits,
these gifts are guards, And should you fail-you have yourself to blame."

NASH, Ex- PRESIDENT A rtibutr MARY B. EGBERT By quiet soothing waters of
repose He bared his heart to God and all was well. In deep and scented
hush of wooded dell Above the careworn strife of men, he rose. With love
unmeasured, warm his heart o'er flows; Of frankincense and myrrh his
gardens tell. Nor friend nor foe but knows the sainted spell Divine his
gracious, gentle kind bestows. At twilight's golden glow reflections stir
Some quiet tender thought of life and love; And ever thus it is with some
we know; They leave the noble uplift of the fir, A strong desire to scale
the heights above. All this, yea more, our Chief ! God bless you; go!

JAMES BEVER HORACE RAHSKOPF MRS. F. F. THATCHER MARJORTE JOHNSON ur lass
Abvisors Four splendid people have been thinking for us, working for us,
hoping for us for a whole year. Each of the four confidently expect great
things of us. We must not disappoint them. The Senior Class of nineteen
hundred twenty-two has been very fortunate in its class advisors. They
are: Mr. Bever, Miss Earhart, Miss Druse and Doctor Miller. Just how
strenuous their task has been, only they can know. Indeed, not until we
are about to leave, does a full realization of all they have done, of just
how much of our load they have carried, comes home to us. Each of the
four is a person of wide experience and growth. They have high hopes and
ideals and broad professional vision. They stand for a constant raising
and improving of our school's standards. Mr. Bever has the reputation of
being the busiest, kindest and most patient man in school. Patient he needs
to be, with Mary Jones eternally insisting on twenty hours and Liza Schupp
forever demand-ing graduation with six credits short. His days are
brimming over
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 15
----------
with teaching, programming and checking records. Only he, who bears the
brunt of it year in and year out, can tell how exhaustive programming
really is. Then there is the immense work of checking over the work of
hundreds of seniors every year. How he keeps so calm and cool is a mystery
to all of us. Mr. Bever knows when to be conservative and when to be
radical. He holds rigidly to the things that tend to keep up the mtorale
and status of the ins itution; yet he is among the first to discard old,
out-worn ideas and accept the new. Mr. Bever has been helpful in car-rying
out some of the school's best measures. No one works quite so hard for
us as Miss Earhart, head of the Training School. Her time is filled with
diagnosing our cases and prescribing just the right bit of teaching in the
Training School and the city. Just now she is incredibly busy hunting up
positions for us and getting us "placed." She doesn't forget us when we
are gone; she keeps us in mind and feels responsible for us. With a woman
like Miss Earhart thinking about us and feeling responsible for us, we
simply have to make good. Miss Druse is another of our well-wishers and
benefactors. She has been art critic of the Klipsun for several years and
much of the K beauty and attractiveness of the yearly success we call our
annual, is inspired by her. Miss Druse is ever ready to serve as judge of
our contests and, indeed ,to help and befriend us in every way. One man
there is who does his work behind the scenes. That man is Dr. Miller. He
accomplishes things so quietly and so well that few of us know they are
done and most of us imagine that they just "happen." The wonders he has
worked since he took charge of the department of education in 1917 are
almost unbelievable. His work, thought and influence have changed and
broadened the curriculum materially. He has left the conception of the
"all-round" 'teacher to die a natural death, and has introduced
specialization thru the minor and major system. He is largely responsible
for the introduction of standardized tests in the common branches. He
worked hard for the mental test and won it. He is constantly growing and
insists on growth in the members of his department. Dr. Miller, in
accomplishing these things, has done every one of us a personal service.
His work is not spectacular. His ambition is to do as much good as he can
without being detected in it. He has succeeded. Actually, though not
officially, Mr. Kolstad is a senior class ad-visor. He is the man who
makes it his business to see that we enjoy ourselves at Normal. No party,
no picnic, no gathering of any kind,' is quite complete without him. IIe,
too, stands for a bigger and bet-ter school, with ever-climbing standards.

Klipsun Board of the year 1921-22, together with the editor and business
manager, have completed a most successful season in the Annual
publication of the Klipsun. It has been the policy of the Board to work
for the best interes's of the Senior class, and to this end our efforts
have been centered.

DONNA KLINKER HAROLD M. SMITH MASON HALL On a certain day in September in
the year nineteen hundred twenty, many lads and lassies from all over this
fair state and coun-try congregated in the City of Bellingham--to be
specific, on the B. S. N. S. campus, on Sehome Hill. A few in the crowd by
their superior manners and knowing ways could be sifted out as
"famil-iars," the dignified Seniors. The great remaining bulk of the
seekers after knowledge one could easily see were unfamiliar with the ways
and customs. From this second group of youth sprang the Junior class,
magnificent, the largest Junior class in the his'ory of the school at that
date. To demonstrate the fact that this class possessed quality as well as
quantity, one has only to mention the lively mix-ers, club activities,
dramiatics, debates, and athletics participated in by individual members
of the class. Homesickness could not exist in this big Normal family, in
the sound, firmly organized Junior class. The spirit of this new body was
immediately felt in the school life, and the work begun then has continued
through the two years. Since that day in September, so long ago, the
record made by the class of '22 has been notable in all lines of school
endeavor. The , clubs in 1920 pledged a membership which in the years to
follow will
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 23
----------
be inspirational. The confidence placed in them was well founded. The
majority of the members of '22 have served creditably as offi-cers in the
various societies and by their talent and wisdom have ad-vanced the fame
of the organizations. The dramatic talent of the Senior class was
appreciated from the very beginning of its career. It was first perceived
in the Expression classes, la er substantiated in the vario-us society
programs and cul-minated in the Junior year, when the class presented that
delightful comedy "Rosemary," with unique success. The superb dramatic
ability displayed in this all-tar production will remain in the mem-ories
of those who witnessed it for many years. This record has been excelled,
if that may be, in this the Senior year of the class. The play, (the name
is on the tongues of the mulitiude) m,et with as great ac-claim as did
the production, "Rosemary." As Juniors, we were proud to present four of
the six debaters to defend our Alma Mater. Now, as Seniors, we claim four
of the six. These earnest young orators the Class of '22 may never honor
too highly. The prowess displayed by the class in athletics does not need
mention. The girls succeeded, by their superior skill and strength, in
defeating the Class of '21 in the Junior-Senior Basketball Series of
1920-21 and in so winning the Kline Cup. The bulk of the material for the
Normal basketball team has largely been furnished by the femininity of the
clas of '22. The men of the class have furnished the necessary seasoned
tim-ber for the Football and Basketball machines of B. S. N. S. The
mar-velous achievemients we feel were due in a great measure to the fine
sportsmanship of the Seniors. For the friendly advice, valuable and
enuthsiastic co-operation of Mr. Bond, later of'Mr. Bever, Mr. Miller, Miss
Cummins. the Senior clas can never adequately express its appreciation. It
shall be our aim as individuals to render a similar service in a small way
in our future work. We leave, but we shall return; therefore we do not
say farewell. May the following lines express the philosophy of the Class
of '22. Thus do the threads the fates have spun Weave through the loom of
life Each classmate has some share of fun And more or less of strife
Until we graduate at last When God shall call the roll; The troubles of
our lives all past, Our records on his scroll. -Vida Scudder. 23

eirntr liasa Sropery The long, white, flimsy robe reached below my knees.
The sil-very stream that I had been following wound through the valley.
Far in the distance the jeweled towers of a cathedral gleamed in the blue
moon rays. Oversized, oblong, green and purple stars hung near the palm
tree horizon. I stopped lo listen lo the chimes which the windl, coming in
from the lemon-colored sea, carried over the valley. Dew sparkled on the
millions of sweet musk-rose buds that per-fumed the night. The jui'ce of
nodding violets and oxlips covered my bare feet. In my right hand was the
golden-leafed book containing the Senior ('lass names. Long before I
reached the palm grove, strips of lemon, and pur-ple water glowed through
the open spaces. ,Where the woodbine over-canopied the palmas, and the dew
shone like diamonds, barefoot maidens with jeweled eyes, danced in
circles. The mystic music from unseen harps vibrated softly out over the
water. At last I stood at the door of a hut, facing a hideous, stooped old
woman. IHer voice hinted of the unknown. She snatched the book K fromn my
hand, laughing in a cracked, hollow voice. "Ah! not all the names are
here." K Disappointment spread over her dry face. "But never mind, I know
all. Let's see who comes first?" She glared at the names. "Take that
diamond pIointed pencil and write." The following is what she told me to
write. "Only eleven of the class will make good school teachers." Dwight
Cone will be disappointed in love, and will find solace only in the barber
business. Marion Collier, six years from now will be married to one, and
in love with another. Reta Gard marries an Alaskan mine owner, leaving
poor Loree with a broken heart. Olga Brotnov tours the southern states,
lecturing on, "IIow to Get Rich Raising Speckled HIens." She finally
elopes with a trav-eling man. Marion McLaughlin breaks her engagement with
Roy Tweit, and takes a correspondence course in motion picture acting.
Amy Peterson teaches and teaches, and still she teaches; but it is only
one that she teaches. Estill V. Cain is a very successful horse trader up
in Alberta, but he often thinks of the little girl on Lummi Island. I 24

II sleep. Marjorie Oberlatz leaves the United States to teach on the
Rhine River. Murilla Burch at last decides that she can cook for two.
Florence Philipps is traveling with a famous circus, selling freckle
remover. Minnie Collins is chasing the "White Shadows" down in the South
Sea Islands. She glides over the beaches at night, dancing. Florence
Porter still looks for a man with red hair and a musical eyebrow. Alberta
Bateman is a successful apple grower. She never mar-ries, poor Alberta.
Vida Scudder is in the life saving business. She wears many medals and a
"loud" bathing suit at the beach where she is sta-tioned. She will marry a
captain from Alaska. Dorothy Forch is still trying to find out what makes
the wind blow, and why she didn't get an "A" instead of a "D." Mrs.
Jessie S. Van de Wetering is looking for a man with a short name.
Swanhild Ingemund at last learns how to pickle hen's teeth. Again the soft
music drew me to the window, but when green flames dar ed from the ears
and nose of the old hag, I again took the seat. Frances Rosenberg, do not
marry a man that has been married before. You will be rich before you are
thirty-two. 25 Ruth O. Wenz is getting rich in the junk business, also in
spare time she sells the "New Fat Reducer" that she discovered. The music
drifted in from outside, and I walked to the window to watch the maidens
dance. Anger spread over the withered face of the old woman. She pointed a
bony finger at a seat. I sat down and continued to write. Catherine
Shepherd marries a man that she does not love, but this lasts only two
years. In the third year she finds happiness. Ask her???? Poor H
................... Hortense Yule and the blonde basketball player, still
look at each other from a distance-poor Vie-poor IHortense. Elizabeth
Boone is still knocking them dead in Flap Jack Alley. But Wait, dear
friend, it is only mosquitoes. Ethel Chisholm is down in the Hawaiian
Islands because she can wear them higher down there. Gladys Buchholz goes
to Mexico in search of love, but she fin-ally accepts a job as a
bean-shooter. Mabel G. Howard-take the advice of an old woman. Do not
marry a man with blue eyes; you will make a very good teacher. Margaret

should smoke. Mabel Miller. No! dear Mabel. You will never marry a fellow
that works in a library. He will be a corn doctor. Mrs. Edna Anstett. So
you are still happy teaching one. Vera White goes to South America on a
wind jammer. She wears men's clothes, and could have married a rich old
widower. Ruth Chabert, you will never marry to please yourself, so take an
old womian's advice and teach school. Evelyn B. Brooks. Don't tell him
that you are afraid of mice. And don't keep secrets from your Mother.
Ebba V. Kallgren, you will not find love in Wisconsin, but you might try
Sweden. Jessie M. Rinehart is up in Southeastern Alaska running a clam
chowder "joint." Dorothy Christensen, do not go to Smith College. You
would be more popular at Dartmlouth. Lois N. Gilchrist is running a summer
resort in December on one of the San Juan Islands. Mason Hall. Someone
is in love with you. Can't you guess? If you will count all the freckles
on your face, I will tell you. Florence Chabert. Yes, you will make more
money milking cows than you will by raising catfish. Bernice Baes. In
August, 1922? But please tell your miother. Willa Lowman has at last
rolled a peanut from Seattle to Mis-souri. Irene Sixeas goes to Japan to
look for a blue-eyed Japanese. When she learns how to make cookies she
comes home. The soft breeze coming in from the lemon-colored sea, blew the
door open. I stopped writing and looked out under the trees at the
dancers. When the withered hag began to snort, I resumed my writ-ing.
Evelyn Hasbrok is down in Virginia learning how to bake opos-sum and corn
bread. Goldie V. Baird will make a movie actress, but something changes
her mind. Rakel B. Selton is still in search of a man that will be true to
her. Poor Rakel. Adeline Dietrich and her husband were seen out together
for the first time since 1923. Lizzie Dunagan goes to Korea in search of
gold, but returns sud-denly and marries Roy Tweit. Elsine J. Johnson is
an expert surf bather and rides the boards down in Honolulu. i

Mildred Sharnbroich goes back to Austria on a visit and does not return
for four years. Gladys Walker is known as the ragtime lady, because of her
singing and dancing. AMabel Lewis is still collec'ing frog eggs for
Hatchum University. Florence Pifer is the world's champion tennis player
in 1924. Lillian C. Dixon has discovered a new way to get away to dances.
Ask her. Frances Still has started a hospital for drowned cats. Pearl
Stough on sells a short story for a large sum and then gets married.
Alice Haverman tours the world looking for a pretty man, but finally
returns for Carroll Haeske. Maria Jepsen is still driving her own car.
Her husband sits be-side her. The old woman stopped talking. I looked up.
She pointed to the door. At the open door I pleaded for her to tell my
fortune. At first anger spread over her face, then she began to laugh.
"Oh, what a joke," she kept saying. She screeched and laughed. I started
running down through the valley. As I ran I could still hear the dry,
crackling laugh. ( -George Stephens. K . 27

#eninr (Lass W11ill We, the Senior Class of 1922, being of relatively
sound mind and in the possession of the Faculty, do hereby make and
declare our last will and testament for the purpose of shedding our
responsibilities, privileges, joys, griefs and cares, and do solemnly
devise and be-queath the said goods and chattels as follows, to-wit:
First. To our Alma Mater we leave our love and devotion, plus any
knowledge we may have imbibed in unguarded moments, as we will naturally
have no further use of it, either in the present life or in the life to
come. Secondly. To President Waldo we leave our profoundest sym-pa hy and
the assurance that the Junior Class only appears so very inferior by
contrast with our extreme brilliancy. To Dr. Nash we send our love, our
gratitude, our best wishes for his highes possible success and the
assurance that his memory will always be fresh in the hearts of his former
students. Thirdly. To the next Senior Class we bequeath: First: Our
patient, hard-working, long-suffering, inimitable Class Advisor, Mr.
Bever, with full instructions for winding and set-ting. Second: The
Library, in which they may talk, lunch and re-create themselves as we have
done. K Third: Our places in he soup-line at the Cafeteria. Fourth: The
sacred obligation of arranging a satisfactory al- K liance for the
Eligible of our facully. Fifth: Our noble, soul-stirring example in all
things, which they can only hope to imitate at a distance. Fourthly. To
the Junior Class we bequeath: First: Our blessing. Second: Certain
note-books and papers, ready to be handed in, which, being disposed of,
will leave themi more leisure for the real business of life, i. e.,
movie-fanning, etc. Third: Our earnest request that they do not work
themselves to death or develop nervous break-downs from study and worry.
Fifthly. Individually and collectively, we do bequeath the fol-lowing :
To Dr. Miller we leave our undying gratitude for his short form of lesson
plan, over which we have spent so many hours of exquisite enjoyment and
wild delight. To Mir. Bever we leave six dozen large-sized handkerchiefs
to be distributed by him among the faculty, who will be stricken with
grief at being obliged to part with us. To Mr. Bond we leave a couch on
which to relax during As-sembly, after the fatiguing process of teaching
Juniors, "Why is 6 ?'" To Miss Edens we leave the task of catching all the
slang phrases running loose about the institution, warning her not to
romp, frisk or cake- walk during the process, and advising her to shut
them up in . 28

Klipsun, 1922 - Page 29

Room 216 and stand guard. To Mr. Kolstad we bequeath: (1) An A stamp and a
miechanical device for turning 60 pages a minute to relieve him of the
immense fatigue of correcting papers. (2) A warning, viz., that a married
man is much safer at Normal 1han a single one. (3) A pair of rompers for
his teddy-bear. To Miss Sperry we return Shakespeare and Browning, which
some of our number took from her. To Miss Gragg we leave specimens of our
business penmanship, on two conditions: First, that she suppress I hem,
until after gradua-tion; second, that she never use them for horrible
examples in her future classes. To Miss Mead we leave our permission to
try out any doubtful prescriptions on our successors, together with our
love and thanks. To Miss Earhart we leave a self-returning pink card,
copyright-ed, and the dreadful accusation that she has the kindest and
best heart in the world. To Mr. Hoppe we leave our congratulations on the
success of the Senior Play; also an ear-trumpet, smelling salts and
fifteen stretch-ers, to be used on the shy little Juniors in Expression I.
To Mr. Coughlin we bequeath all the chick-weed on the campus, suggesting
that he transplant it to the Training School garden, thus giving his
Nature Study classes a long-needed rest. To Mr. Carver we bequeath Mr.
Coughlin's treatise on "The Art of Keeping Still," suggesting that he read
and apply it; also our sin-cere thanks for putting our school back on the
football map. To Mr. Hunt we leave the upper hand which he got over us in
the very original standardized tests we wrote for him. To Mr. Caskey we
relinquish all claim to the simplified mode of spelling we demonstrated for
him in the spelling tests. To Mr. Rahskopf we leave "Tipperary in the
Spring," over which we were wont to wax profane. To Mr. Grady ye leave
six new pairs of white trousers and rol-ler skates to aid in corralling
students escaping fromi Assembly. To Mr. Kibbe we leave a megaphone, so
that he may not strain his voice in making himself heard from the Training
School to the Science Annex, together with the suggestion that there are
synonyms for exactly and exceedingly. To Mrs. Thatcher we leave all the
records we failed to appreciate in Music Appreciation, assuring her that,
after trying them out on the next Senior Class, she will appreciate us.
To the Training School supervisors we leave noiseless moccasins in which
to stalk their prey, also devices for printing "Unsatisfac-tory. Rewrite,"
on fifty plans a minute. To Miss Cummins we leave our scalps and the
consoling thought that she has "stumped" every one of us at one time or
another. To Mr. Philippi we leave: (1) Many specimens of prehistoric man
unearthed by future football teams in Battersbuy's Field, and, (2) 1 I
I

this suggestion for the motivation of Hygiene I. Let the little Sen-iors
who are good play with Jimmie and Mary for ten minutes before class. To
Miss Wilson we leave ten gallons of "gas" for her pet and what remains of
the library after our strenuous two years onslaught. To the Art Department
we bequeath: (1) Our shattered nerves; (2) all the labor saving devices
the forced us to invent; (3) any new colors we have unwittingly
discovered. To Miss Long and Miss Watrous we leave the credit of our
aston-ishing physique and amazing postures. To the Cafeteria we leave a
brand-new recipe for hash, incredible as it may seem. To Noel Wynne we
leave all the reserve books, seeing that he is so fussy about them,
anyway. To the city supervisors we leave kiddy-cars to enable them to
cover more ground, stipulating that they practice the manipulation of this
intricate mechanism for one hour each day, on and around the camnpus and
that they carefully observe all traffic regulations. To practice teachers
we bequeath: (1) Bells to be fastened around the necks of their
supervisors; (2) suits of spit-ball-proof armor; (3) all the shivers and
shakes of a first day of teaching; (4) the consoling thought that even we
were "green" once upon a time. To Training School pupils we leave our
congratulations, our K apologies and our refusal to believe that such
cherubic, docile infants as they ever existed before, here below. K
Sixthly. We, of the Senior Class, appoint President Waldo, of the
Bellingham Normal, as sole executor of this, our will. Seventhly. In
Witness Whereof, we have hereby signed, sealed, published and declared
this instrument as our last Will and Testa-ment at Bellingham Normal at 10

COLLIER ESTHER COOK M. W. HECKMAN RUEL KNOWLTON noarb of (Eontrol The
personnel of the Board of Control has changed a number of times during the
past year. Miss Elsie Minor, who was elected presi-dent of the Students'
Association, was in school only during the summer quarter. The vice
president, Carroll Haeske, then became president. During the summer, Mr.
Fraser was elected to take the place of Miss Cook, who was not in school
at the time. For the other vacancy three young men followed each other:
Wade Bristol, who iesigned to become Business Manager of the Messenger,
Mason Hall, who resigned to become Editor of the Klipsun, and Ruel
Knowlton. Mr. Kolstad substituted for Mr. Heckmian during the Fall
Quarter, and for Mr. Bond during the Spring Quarter. Among the various
events arranged for by the Board of Control the following might be
mentioned: School picnic and salmon bake, summer quarter mixer, ocean
trip, fall mixer, football banquet. Christmas tree exercises, debate team
entertainment, Chuckanut Mar-athon.
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 60

Along with their regular duties, including the supervision of the
financial activities of the Students' Association, they have taken up
various questions such as that of the improvement of the athletic field.
lt;The outstanding feature of the year was the purchase of eighty acres on
Lake Whatcom, to be used as a school resort. The suggestion of such an act
was made by Mr. Bond, October 24, 1921. Mr. Kolstad, appointed to
investigate the advisability of the move, reported fav-orably. The Board
then decided to see for themselves. There fol-lowed two hikes up the lake
shore, through brush, over rocks, in creeks, under logs, sliding up hill,
rolling down, losing trails, making new ones, lost as a group, lost in
pairs, until finally the eighty was located. The forerunners of many
school groups were "enthusiasti-cally impressed." The matter was presented
to the students Novem-ber 23, when they decided to buy the property. On
Jauary 4, Mr. Bond was elected trustee of the lake property and the
transfer took place soon thereafter. The Board members looked into the
future and saw a school great in size and achievement, a student body,
splendid in personnel and strong in school spirit, aided and strengthened
by the recreation of-fered by a tract on the lake shore with its school
and club lodges, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, hockey fields, golf
course, canoes, rowboats, launches. The retiring Board of Control awaits
anxiously the time when future Boards will be building to make This dream
tome true. K One must mention the spirit of good fellowship which existed
in the "family group"'' as it assembled around the table in the Students'
Association Room. There were differences at times, but they were soon
forgotten. This spirit showed itself most clearly in the quarterly Board
dinners, a custom inaugurated by the present members, and carried over in
the first annual Two-Board dinner, when the retir-ing members entertained
the Board elect. ,om -R

Students' Co-op is an institution of which the school is indeed proud.
Starting back in 1908 in a very modest way, it has enjoyed a more or less
steady growth until it is now considered to be the equal of any college
store, regardless of the size of the student body, in its service to its
patrons, and, in its reasonable prices. The last two years have been very
trying ones to business in general, owing to price reductions, to a
falling off of sales, and, to the losing of old customers occasioned by
misunderstandings. The Co-op, however, has come thru this period stronger
than ever as the students have realized generally that Mr. Baughman and
his as-sistants, Miss Heaton, Miss Lund and Mr. Gaasland, have ever been
on the alert to give efficient service, reasonable prices and courteous
treatment.

IJu ttr Eiibraru We, of the Bellingham Normal School, are very proud of
our library-and of our librarian. It is a just pride, one that grows and
strengthens every time we make use of a book or spend an hour there.
Visitors tell us that ours is the best Normal school library in the
Northwest. We know, from constant use of and intimate acquain-tance with
it, that it is even better than they say. With a librarian like ours, a
library is bound to develop. Miss Wilson has stamiped her personalily
indelibly on her department. Her breadth of vision has enlarged the vision
and comprehensiveness of this "''workshop"'' and her energy and tireless
efforts have made it keepl pace with the years. Twenty-five thousand
volumes at our disposal! And such books. All that is standard and best in
fiction, essay, drama, travel, biology, history--a multiplicity of
subjects. There simply is no end to their scope. Miany a student has
thought up all sorts of profound and un-usual subjects, just to see if the
library would be equal to it. It al- ways is. K A library in themselves
are the books on education and peda- K gogy within i's walls.
Comprehensive literature on every new phase of education is found ihere.
Books are being constantly added to this section, as the need for them
arises. The periodical room is eloquent of Miss Wilson. Each month finds
one hundred and fifty splendid new magazines, educational jour-nals and
scientific papers spread out and waiting for us. Every pub-lication is
among the best, eminent among its kind. The library is not only
extensive; it is completely organized. There is a place for everything and
everything is in its place. Anyone can hunt down a subject sucessfully and
capture it in this well-ar-ranged, and logically planed place. The
service given by the library each year is simiply amazing. The rooms are
open from early morning until late at night. Hun-dreds of students enter,
leave, study, draw out and return books. Yet the noise and confusion is
kept down to a surprising minimum. Through the stress and hard work the
"library people" are ever courteous, patient and eager to help. What is
the secret? Order! The very book-cases and diction-aries breathe it. Here,
thanks to Miss Wilson, the way of the trans-gressor is hard. Rules are few
and simple but inexorably kept. On this basis, the library has been able
to function with a thoroughness * almost unbelievable. With these
standards of service and of effi-ciency, it is bound to improve and to
develop constantly. (-9

(By Dorothy M. Hill) Three roads 1here are that stretch away, Three roads
that promise fair; And one of these shall be the way - That I my burdens
bear. The lowest of life's winding trails Has store of good and ill, It
wanders in the daisy vales And o'er the sloping hill. The masses no other
way can know: :And onward still they tread, Rejoicing, sorrowing as they
go, And eat their daily bread. The road of roses reaches higher K To
heights of fame at last. K Will roses satisfy desire When all the thorns
are past ? For roses oft cannot repay Him who has gained the end When he
has sold himself away, And lost his every friend. The land of lilies lies
afar, But surer the way thereof; And its rewards the greatest are To him
who looks above. And One will lead me by the hand And never let me go,
Until I reach that lily land, There sweetest peace to know. 0 lily with
the heart of gold, Thou shalt my emblem be; And Father, if my faith grow
cold, Come Thou, and strengthen me. 64

With a fearless stride and determination to make good, the class of '23
entered the beautiful "Normal by the Sea." Was it this determination that
helped the Juniors to reach the top? If so, may all other clases below
them enter with the same spirit and enjoy victory and triumiph such as the
Juniors have enjoyed. In other words, the class of '23 has had a most
eventful year. It began when the football season opened and the Juniors
showed their spirit by turning out. Seven letter men were Juniors.
Keplinger was an all star end, while Tryggvi held the other end down, with
the strength of Ulysses. Rairdon (Pop) preserved the stonewall appearance
as heavy charges of the opposing line advanced. Hoyt at the other tackle
was hard to move as Mt. Verdun. The gateway to success was guarded by
Knowlton, while McComas played the part of center and Gaasland (they cal
him "Hag") being the speedy man known as the helf-back, time ,after time
circled the opposing line, carrying the Normal School to victory. Thus did
the Juniors do honor to their class and Alma Mater. Again, in basketball,
the Juniors composed the larger part of the team. Trusty Keplinger,
faithful McComas, and "Star" Vanderford all brought credit to their class.
The second team, almost equal to K the first, held the following Junior
class members: Oscar Lindstedt, Marion Reddick, Porter Hatley, and George
Abbey. The girls' K team fairly dazzled us with their victory, winning the
Kline Cup. Many have said the Junior play, "Little Women," was the
greatest success of the year. The class acknowledge their deep debt to
Mr. Hoppe, who contributed largely to the success of the play. Three peppy
mixers were given. These mixers speak for them-selves, owing to the
livewires that composed them. They showed the real democratic spirit of
the class. For the first half of the year the officers in charge were:
Stan-ley McComas, President; Blanche Davy, vice president; Ethel Ashley,
Secretary-treasurer. The latter half: Harold Gaasland, President; Jeanice
Turner, Vice President; Sam Ford, Secretary-treasurer. They have done much
in the interest of the school and class. The different committees appointed
thruout the year have done their work faith-fully and well. Some of these
workers were: Helen Hightower, Robert Caulkins, Irma Bond, Jeanice Turner,
Ann Rouchy, Gertrude Egbert, and many other loyal Juniors. The class
claims the honor of the nominee for Tulip Queen, the business manager of
the Messenger, and the two best singers in the school. Mr. Bond and Mr.
Kibbe were the class sponsors and much credit is due them for their
interest and advice. And so ends the year for the class of '23. Each
member has given all that is in him and success shall be his reward. May
other Junior classes contribute as much to our beloved Alma Mater.

i. ! FIRST PRIZE STORY (By George K. Shephens) "But he loves me,
Grandma." "No, he no love you; white man no love squaw, he tell 'um lie,
me know."' "But I am no ordinary squaw. My father was a Russian and my
eyes are blue." The old Eskimo woman mumbled something in a low, gutteral
tone. "He asked me to marry him, Grandma, and I promised to marry him when
he returns, later in the summer. I met him at the hospital across the
river. He found out that I had been to school out in the states, and he
used to walk home with me after school. Sometimes we walked home by the
river, but he liked to walk around by the marsh, because he said he didn't
like for the other government men to see me." "White man no good. He no
love like Eskimo. He love money." "He crossed the river on the same boat I
did, Grandma, and he was here at Nushagak for two days. I wish you could
see him." The old squaw sat on the floor in a dark corner by the little
cook-stove, sewing a strip of Arctic rabbit skin around the top of a
seal-skin moccasin. She bent low over her work, making slow, wide
stitches with a coarse needle. Her dim eyes could hardly distinguish the
color of the bead work. She raised her eyes and peered out at her
grandaughter; her wrinkled, immovable face resembled a dry, shriveled
potato. "Me see himt--me walk by water-tired-me sit down-he walk by. Me
know him--all same boy-smoke paper smoke-hands look-um like girl. Heap
plenty gold teeth. White man no love squaw, me know. Me live, too. White
man like drink, sourdough-he no catch-umrn fox-make-um squaw work."
Konnyu, with an armful of mucklucks and furs, stopped with her hand on the
door latch and looked back at the old woman. "Grandma, please get out of
that dark corner, and come near the light, and for goodness' sake quit
sitting on the floor. I want you to learn to sit on a chair, like you did
last summer." Konnyu stepped out into the biting west wind and carried the
furs and mucklucks to the fish cache. It had been a late spring and now,
in June, the grass showed green only in little patches. The crew at the
salmon cannery under the hill by the river had come in through the last
ice-drift and were busy over-hauling the machinery. " n_
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 71
----------
Konnyu, before entering the cabin again, stood looking across the wide,
muddy river. The snow and ice glowed with varying shades through the
persistent mist. A few early sea-birds circled above the drift-ice, and
sounds of hammering came from the cannery. A sense of disgust came over
the girl when she re- entered the cabin. Around the walls hung old fur
clothing; in the corners things lay in a heap, where they had been thrown
from time to time during the winter. The squaw got up from the floor and
llolbbled to a chair near the window. Her face did not show the emotion
that was troubling her. The thought of her grand-daughter's marrying a
white man made her heart sick. "Grandma, you must learn to wear that
corset I made for you, for I want you to look nice when the white man
comes back. Oh, mercy me! Look at those red curtains sewed with white
thread. Grandma, I am going to paper this room, scour the floors, and make
new curtains for the windows before he gets back." "Me work cannery-me
strong-me give money you-you marry Thorus." "I will not marry Thorus.
Thorus is only a trapper, and he is half French. I love a white man."
The middle of July came and great beds of wild flowers covered K the
valleys and mountains. Rain storms swept over the land and sea with such
fury that it was no longer safe to venture out on the water in kayaks. The
fish boats skurried for shelter, their brown sails re-sembling butterflies
with crippled wings, hurrying before the storm. Konnyu's heart burned and
swelled until it almost choked her. The white man was three weeks
over-due. Day after day she slipped away by herself and climbed the hill
from which she watched boat after boat grow from a mere speck until it
went chugging up to the cannery dock. But the white boat with the two
yellow masts did not come. Week after week sped by and the natives began
to whisper at the Greek church. The old priest shook his head in wonder;
he could not understand why Konnyu had quit playing the church organ on
Sunday. M1iany times Konnyu walked around the mountain to the place
where she had said good-bye to the white mian. "He will come back. He will
come back," she told herself over and over. One night, when a light wind
blew gently from the sea, the water ran in swells of gold, and the sky was
streaked with topaz and crim-son. Konnyu entered the church yard, and
looked up at the picture of Christ over the door. "All white men say you
were the greatest white man that ever lived. Father Mittenloff, he tell me
pray you. He said you give unselfish prayer answer. Then why don't you
..
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 72
----------
answer my prayer, dear God? You know that I have sinned, but dear God, if
he don't come back-Oh pity me! Help me, dear Christ-God." Leaving the
church yard, Konnyu followed a caribou trail around the mountain to the
sea. The wind moaned in the tall grass, and the deep howl of the wolf-dogs
rolled over the valleys. With lowered head she returned slowly along the
trail, thinking of her great sin. The stars in the heavens glowed in
purple-pale strings of light. Konnyu closed the door quietly behind her,
and noiselessly went to bed. The deep breathing of the old Eskimo woman
told her that she was asleep. As time went by and the white mran did not
return, the old Eski-mto woman nodded her hed in satisfaction. She hobbled
to work at the cannery, and stored her earnings in an empty salmon can.
"Me give you and Thorus," she told Konnyu. The first of August came, the
fishing season was over. The sum-mer was changing to fall, and still the
white man did not come. Her eyes grew wild and pitiful. She met the old
priest on the hill one y afternoon, causing that white-haired old man to
find his cabin in haste. "You are the priest and you lie, you lie damn
bitter lie. Oh, why K Q do you stay here? God! There is no God. You say me
comae back and God will forgive me. You bring back mny white man and then
I will believe God." Late that afternoon, rain swept over the land and
sea. Great green waves foamed along the shore. Funeral clouds hovered and
drifted near the earth. Konnyu, barefooted, bareheaded, and wild * with
fever, followed a caribou trail through the deep grass. The wind and rain
beat the flower petals to the ground. Konnyu stopped where the giant waves
rushed in from the sea. She talked and swore fran-tically tearing her
hair. For hours she roamed the beach, until at last a coolness crept over
her. The climax was reached. Half drowned, she reached the cabin to spend
the night in sobbing. All night her grief tore her. Outside the wind
moaned shudderingly. Through the little window next morning she looked off
to the south. A misty orange flush suffused the dun-colored sky. She no
longer read her books; she moved about the cabin, the corners of her mouth
twitching. The fall wore away into November and the pearly snow crystals
once more drifted over the sea and the land. Dog sleds were coming and
going through the Arctic day. The great ball of fire rose along the icy
horizon; the sky remained a purple blue. The snows were purple, with just
a few dashes of red in the roads. At night the North-ern Lights filled all
the heavens. 72
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 73

1 St . .' II I' L_ I ( Konnyu's love had burned out. She talked
little, she showed a kind devotion to the old Eskimo woman. With her dog
team out on the trail she often met Thorus. She nodded, barely noticing
his broad smile and white even teeth. She never entered the church again.
Sometimes at night she slipped into the church yard to pray. She often
peeped in at the window to see the beautiful painting of the Madonna.
With her snow-shoes on, she went around the mountain one day to the place
where she had said good bye to the white man. A pearly vapor now filled
the valley, and ptarmigan flew in flocks before her, their beady black
eyes showing against the white density. The sun, a flushed crimson ball,
edged along the wintry outline of the moun-tains, purplish, snowy glitter.
Konnyu watched the sun slowly sink, like a great blazing globe into the
sea of fire-flushed, ice. The snowy mountains about glowed with warm
cheer. The ice turned to purple, and again to blue, and then to winter
darkness. Konnyu returned stumbling through the blue, black darkness to the
village. Two weeks later Konnyu gave Thorus his final answer, and she
watched him disappear one, night with his team of dogs. Long she stood and
looked across the vast expanses of smooth surface, polished by the
constant winds. The glow of the moon gleamed like isles of silver in a
motionless, deep sapphire sea. The old Eskimo woman was waiting for Konnyu
when she en-tered the cabin. "You no go to Thorus? Thorus, he say, he
love you......!" "No, grandma, that is all too late now. Please don't say
any more about it." "Thorus, he good . . ie like children." Konnyu went
into her little room and closed the door. She sat by the window, looking
out over the frozen sea. The old dull ache came back to her heart, and at
last tears rolled down her cheeks. She put on her furs, land slipped out
into the night. The Northern lights were playing in splendor. By degrees,
the rose-colored sky assumed the hue of old gold, the violet embroideries
of clouds changed to purple. Soon new celestial torohes lighted the
changing sheen of the snow. At the church, Konnyu looked in at the picture
of the Madonna and child. At the grave yard where the crosses stood in
silent watch, Konnyu stood at the grave of her mother and her father. Her
face was motionless and white. With her snow- shoes she skimmed out over
the ice. The howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the ice. The ice glowed
with purple and orange. Still farther Konnyu went. All about her were
great air-holes. The wind hissed. There was a short heart-breaking sob.
That was all. The Northern lights glowed and danced, and the howl of the
wolf-dogs rolled over the ice.

04r lose erruteb Aurl a of vet (Mary B. Egbert) This poem is an outgrowth
of meditation suggested by the first part of the Greek legend concerning
Adonis, who disregarded the voice of Venus (Love) in his pursuit of the
wild boar, and also, by the pretty fable by the Persian Saadi Moralist
concerning the scented clay that drank in the fragrance of the rose in
"Brilliants," by Charles II. Spurgeon. For the full significance of the
words merma and pureza refer to a large Spanish dictionary. The Farewell.
Thou are leaving the cheery old fireside, my boy, For a voyage through
lands that are strange and untried, To you dream of success in the pathway
of joy; But remember, my son, there's a way that is wide And a way that
is narrow and straight in this life, And the choice is with you, so
whatever your path, May it take you from malice, from envy and strife,
To the things of great beauty, the best that He hath. K K You may cross
the wild billows that toss on the sea, You may serve as a warrior and win
in the fray, But forget not your loved ones, your mother and me And our
prayers for you, lad, at the close of each day; You may pass through the
depths where the down-trodden dwell, You may suffer their sorrow, their
anguish, their woes, But remember we love you, God loves you, Farewell!
Let the clay of your castle be scented with rose. 'T'he Voice of Youth.
Free! Free! At last I'm free! No pressure now to hold me back, No quiet
voice to say, "Nay, Nay!" My hope, my dream; Free! Free! The Voice of
Vision. Behold! A noble youth! See! There he comes! His head is lifted
high, His manly form erect, His step is firm and sure; But look! He
halts! He falls Beside the coppice there.

Youth Speaks. Love! Love! I never really thought of love before,-- I
hoped to win by power of wealth alone, To conquer every foe on sea and
land And sit enthroned with none to challenge me; But now this wondrous
vision pure and bright Bespeaks a fruer, better way. I pause: It points a
straight and narrow pathway up To realms of purest joy. But, what is fame
And what is wealth? They're things Ihat fade and pass I can not take them
with me when I cross The other shore. That's what my father meant-- The
way: The narrow way, the path of joy My choice ! The bloom and sweet
perfume of rose To scent my clay. I rise and hence away. The Voice at the
Gates. Behold! He joins l he multitudes, The careless, drifting crowds
that pass; They play their charms and tempt the youth And, pleasure mad,
he yields: Alas! Virtue. Voices of the Seven Virtues. K (an he, the son
of man, forget so soon His grand old father's worthy counsels wise? Can
he forget his vision 1here beside The coppice green, beneath the star lit
sky, Where God revealed to him a better way? Alas! 'Tis so! No thought of
choice with him! The multitudes unceasing pass and he The ape of men who
rush for thrills ensues. His modern death-defying motored speed Leaves
far behind the furious Jehu pace. And painted Jezebel decollete', Thru
plains of Merma leads another youth By feigned love, unholy, thus astray.
Knowledge. Alas! With liquid notes of magic charm, Entrancing ways,
bewitching heartless smiles, She leads him forth to darnel fields and
leaves His there to eat the bitter colocrynth. Behold! Confused he
wanders aimlessly About! No sleep! No rest! A tempted soul Besieged with
malice, hate, revenge! O Woe! What noble of deeds of purest worth could be
Achieved if every act of mortal man Found birth within the living springs
of good. I-

T But look! That noble stalwart youth bends low. A mloment! Wait! He
shakes his clenche'd fist He leaps! His face is black! His eyes flash
fire! His jaw is set! For evil now he's bent. Temperance. The clever
imitatress, subtle and shrewd, Makes void his first cupidity, makes void
His wild and doltish rage, and now he seeks To ease his tortured mind, to
lose the pain Of unrequited love. Imbittered, too oft He feasts as Elah
(lid. (Zimri curbed.) Patience. In daily passings too and fro within The
Pleasure Palace dim, he sees the wrecks Of love and home, the lustful
lucre plague That robs the bloom of youth and kills the soul. Atropa
mandragora shrieks, and lo! Our youth uncovered sees; he hears; he's mad!
Godliness. Behold no rest for them who walk with him. No halo crowns his
head. No aureole Of sainted splendor bright lights up his dark And dismal
clay. No cheery note for joy K Of life or hope divine inspires the souls
Of weary pilgrims drifting down the plains Of Merma there beyond the
living streams. Kindness. His tongue knows not the law of kindness now
For selfish greed usurps it's throne. A flame Of rancor burns within his
aching breast, A seething caldron spouting oaths of hate. Love. And
love, that tender healing, soothing love That comforts man and knows no
selfish creed, Is choked in him by cruel bitter hate; A savage, stinging
vitiating hate Which like the boar Adonis chased has tusks; Each tusk a
monkshood-poisoned arrow sharp. They pierce, and wound; yea and more, they
kill the soul. Doom Song of the Virtues. A mighty man is fallen A life
in sin is bred ! And through his wounded spirit The poisons quickly
spread!

A mighty man is fallen, A youth is bended low, And from his wounded
spirit, (The streams of anguish flow! Doom Song Changed to Hope. But
look ! In robes of purest white Across the arid waste The Maids of Mercy
haste, They lift his wounded form And bear him quickly hence. Beside the
living streams Where healing waters flow, The fires of glory glow:
(Unselfish deeds of love Within the Doors of Hope.) In pastures green he
lies Beside the waters still, Beside the steep Pureza Hill, Whose
verdant slopes refresh K The eye and calm the soul. Unconscious lies he
there Without a thought or care; The Maids of Mercy fair With tender
skill asssuage His wounds and fevered brow. At last he moves and knows
The things that are and were: But sad regrets now stir Within his
tortured soul That once was glad and free. He thinks once more of youth,
The hour when he was strong When life was free from wrong, And sobs of
anguish shake His form now bent with grief. The Maids of Mercy tell Of
love that wins in strife; He seeks their way of life And wearied, falls
in sleep To hear the Call at Dawn.

I TIlE CALL AT DAWN. A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimlpse of
the gold of the day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And
the call is to me, "Arise, be strong!" The glow of the dawn on the purple
peak, The flash of it's beams on the rocks so bleak, A rift in 1he night
of my spirit's gloom And the call is to me, "Repent or doom!" The gleam of
the gold on Ihe mountain streams, The home of my youth in the day of
dreams, The trust and the love of a mother there And the call is to me,
"For life prepare!" A silvery sheen on the water's blue, The play of the
lights on a drop of dew, A longing for love and His strength divine And
the call is to me, "My strength, not thine!" The silvery notes of an angel
choir, K The harp and the lute and the golden lyre, K A glimpse of the
Home on the other shore And the call is to me, "Go, sin no more!" I bow
at His feet ere the break of day, Repent of my wrongs and my sinful way,
Lay all on the altar and lo, He is near! And the call is to me, "Arise, no
fear!" A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimpse of the gold of the
day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And the call is to me,
"Arise, be strong!" Voice of Vision. Hark! I hear the quiet rush of
angel wings, And lo! The glory choir celestial sings; A wayward sin sick
soul on earth repents And joy sublime, exceeding great, now vents Itself
amidst the glory crowned throng: Youth hears the call divine, "Arise, be
strong," And lo! He leaves behind the Merma plain, With all it's ruthless
waste, and countless slain.

He scales the rugged peaks and verdant hills Of Mount Pureza fair, where
rippling, rills The s reamlets crystal clear; where sings the thrush, The
hermit thrush in mossy forest's hush; Its modulated tones, exquisite rare,
In tranquil clearness sweet, doth fill the air; Where sings the thrush,
the sweet wood- thrush, its calm And restful hymn of praise; a healing
balm Of hope and cheer at dawn, its flute like call Out there beneath the
blue in sylvan hall. Behold! An angel messenger descends And close about
his manly form she bends! She gives him faith to purify his heart, A
shield of faith to quench each wicked, fiery dart, To keep him steadfast
in the past of right. Behold! Another messenger in white Descends to
place a helmet on his head! To place salvation's hope where fear was bred.
And now with this the glorious burst of day Comes Love the greatest gift
of all. A ray Of ardor burns his soul! He kneels in praise And finds no
coined words by which to raise His voice to God in prayer. But heaven
hears, And angels sing beyond this vale of tears K For joy at one now safe
within the fold. K He consecrates himself to God to go The straight and
narrow path in life, and lo! There is a multitude of Heaven's throng In
songs of praise to God; and Youth is strong. Youth Speaks. My heart o'er
flows with joy sublime I walk in strength of love divine, No cloud of
darknes mars my way For Christ is now my rock and stay: A noble service
too is mine, For I have heard His call divine. I stand beside the narrow
gate, Between the ports of choice, to wait Each youth who ventures near
And points to him without a fear, The road that leads afar from hate To
plains of peace in God's Estate.

I point him to the best in arts, To gems of thought that thrill our
hearts, To notes inspired by gifted skill 'In love and not for greed to
fill Man's purse. The youth from sin apart Shall know no monkshood-
poisoned dart. I tell him of my joy sublime, And of His love and strength
divine, 'No cloud of darkness mars my way For Christ is now my rock and
stay. His precious gift of love divine O'erflows my heart with joy
sublime.- A Pilgrim at the Portals of Choice. A rift in the grey of his
castle wall, A glimpse of the love in his heart for all; A garden of
roses, its velvet .bloom, Enriching the world with their sweet perfume. A
rift in.the grey of my misty morn, A glimpse of the gold of my day unborn,
The voice of my hope as it wakes to song And the call is to me, "Arise,
be strong!" SECOND PRIZE POEM By Floris M. Clark) Ah, love to go a
wandering Upon a windy hill; To find a little golden stream And kneel
and drink our fill! To come upon a friendly trail That beckons us away,
Among the clouds, across the hill, Into the breeze swept day. Our little
house is warm and bright And happy there am I-But ah, to go a- gypsying
Where blue hills touch the sky.

(By Margaret Bowen) Say, did you see the curve on that one, Phip?" "You
bet. It was a beaut. Here, give me another, if you can." Phip braced
himself for another swift return. "Gee, you have a Jim-dandy swing, hasn't
he, fellows?" "I'll say so.'" "You tell 'em"'' "Sure thing," came from
the other admiring youngs'ers, who had stopped playing' "catch" to watch
Billy's throw. Johnny Gibson plumped his fist hard into his mitt with the
force of an inspiration. "I say, Bill, why don't you get up a neigh-borhood
team?" "Sure!" took up Dan Wint ers. "Here's eight of us in our gang, and
Bud Simpson's crazy to get in. He's in the sixth "B". Won't he do?"
"''Sure, Billy, let him in." "Let's do have a team, Bill." "Bud's good
enough." "Say 'Yes,' Bill. Come on." "Well, it's a go," pronounced Billy
finally, "and if you'll prac- tice hard, we'll challenge the bunch on the
Hill, and have a reg'lar game." "Hooray!" "Three cheers!" " That's the
stuff,''" chimed Ihe "''gang"'' in chorus. "Practice? Just watch us."
"When're we goin' to begin?" "What'll we call our team?" "We'd better
call it 'Lincoln Park.' We live near it, and every-one will know where we
are, then." "Hey, listen, " cut in Phip. "Hickity, Hack, K, hark,
Bickity, Back, K, bark, HOOray, HOOray, Hooray for Lincoln Park." Plans
and practice progressed with a will. IL was nearly eight weeks until the
close of school, but the first Sa'urday of vacation was set for the great
game with their rivals on Greenwich Hill. Bud was duly initiated, and
became a proud memlber of Billy Chace's "gang." All the players practiced
faithfully, afternoon and evening, under Billy's direc:ion. Sporting
papers, rule books, stories of baseball stars, were eagerly s udied and
discussed. Billy was a good pitcher, and the other positions were
practiced until the team work was al-
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 82
----------
most automatic. Nothing, scarcely, was talked of but the team, and the
families of the boys soon kinew all the details of the coming con-test.
Billy's father was especialy interested. Mr. Chace loved base-ball, and was
secretly proud of his red-blooded, young American son. Altho away every
day at the factory, he saw enough of Bily to know all about the team, and
the great fight in prospect. He wondered what kind of a leader "Bill
Chace's gang" followed. "Well, Billy, so you're teaching the fellows to
play ball?" "Gosh, no. They know as much about it as I do." +" "Then
don't they 'row' when you give them directions?" ques- tioned his father.
" 'Row'? Well, I should guess not. If the team decides to do anything, the
first crabber gets out. See?" "Yes, I see. But Billy, why don't you teach
your team some tricks? There are lots of easier ways to lay fellows out
than by fanning them. Why don't you learn to use your heads against their
heels ? " "You mean like spiking 'em, or something like that? Why, Dad,
that's not square. What if somebody else would do like that, what would
you say?" He caught the twinkle in his father's eyes, and stopped. "All
right, Billy, be sure you remember about the 'crabbing,' K and that idea
about the other fellow is worth holding on to." His father turned to his
newspaper again, but Bily thot for some minutes of what he had just said.
Finally he broke the silence. "Dad, I'll promise.' "What?" "Not to crab,
and to remember the other fellow." "Good." The next week Mr. Chace
brought guests home for dinner-Mr. t Delton, who was his new
superintendent, Mrs. Delton, and their son, Thomas. Tom was a little older
than Billy and a half-grade ahead of him in school, but he was not as
tall nor as broad. They lost little time in getting acquainted, and the
conversation soon turned toward baseball. "Play ball much, Tom?" "'You
bet!"' "We've got a team here at Lincoln Park. We play the Hill fel-lows
two weeks froml next Saturday." "Say, Bill, is your team all full? Dad's
bought that new, brown bungalow in the next block, and we'll be living
pretty near you, soon. " "That's great, Tom. Come out some night when the
team's prac-ticing. It's full now, but we'll see." Later, to himself,
Billy wondered which of the fellows he could possibly disappoint. He thot
about it a good deal. Tom might not do at all, and he might be worrying
for nothing. Yet the new boy
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 83
----------
had spoken very confidently. Well, some fellow would drop out and let Tom
in for the good of the team. It would not be fair to the rest to stay in
and lessen the chances of all for winning. But would the other be
fair-letting a new man in so late ? There were only sixteen more practice
days before the game, and their teamwork ought not to be tampered with. If
Tom were awfully good they might-Billy finally decided to wait until they
tried him out. Mlonday found Tom at practice promptly with the others.
Billy introduced the "new kid," and then drew him away to try out his
catching. He was not a good catcher. Billy found himself rather glad. Tom
was pretty good at getting high ones, but no better than their own
fielders. Maybe his problem was settled without any fur-ther
complications. Billy recalled himself with a start. There had been a
wicked, little twist on that return. He took more notice. Inside of half
an hour, Billy had to acknowledge that whatever else Tom Delton was not,
he certainly was a pitcher. Billy got to bed early that night, but stayed
awake with his eyes shut for a long time. Why did this Tom have to come
and spoil it all, anyway, just when everything was going fine? Well, he
did not have to let him play; he guessed he was captain and could decide
as he pleased. But that would not be a square dealwith the team. K Tom was
better, and he ought to let him play. Should not the captain K look out
for his team more than anyone else? Putting Tom in might spoil the
teamwork. But then, Billy had to admit that was not so. The fellows had
practiced so long together that they were not easily rattled and Tom would
have almtost two weeks to master the signals. He could put Tom in another
position. But he would be no good ex-cept as pitcher. Well, if Tom had to
pitch, Billy himself would play another position. Here again fairness
confronted him. It would be a mean trick to drop another boy. Little Bud
Simpson, he knew, would willingly give up. Billy turned over in disgust
that he should think of it, after Bud had worked so long and faithfully.
The boy tossed restlessly all night in his sleep. At practice the next
day Tomn Delton pitched. The team thot little of it. Billy was allowing
that in order to come out and coach them the better. But Billy taught Tom
the first signals that night. ' 'What's the matter with your team, Billy,"
asked his father on Friday night. "I haven't heard much about it for some
time." Billy reddened a little, and tried to put on a good show of
en-thusiasm. "Why, it's coming just great. The teamwork is better every
day. We're workin' too hard to talk much now, you see." Billy's father
agreed that he saw, but did not say just what he was seeing. He waited for
Billy to say more, but he son excused him-self to go out to practice.
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 84
----------
Tom practiced regularly now as pitcher. In spite of liking Tom, Billy
sometimes caught himself wishing that something, not too serious, but just
serious enough, would happen to Tom Delton before Saturday. He kept his
own throwing arm well limbered. It did not seem possible even yet that
there was only one more practice before the big game, and that he might
not play. Something simply must happen. At last several of the boys came
to him after their final practice Friday evening. "Billy, who's goin' to
pitch tomorrow, you or Tom Delton ?" "I don't know," answered Billy
shortly, turning away. "Don't forget what I said about eating, and be
sure to go right to bed. Two o'clock sharp tomorrow, at the park.
G'night." His father had left for the office when Billy appeared the next
morning. Mr. Chace was as interested as Billy in the events of the
afternoon, and during the morning called his superintendent into his
office. "Well, Delton, don't you think we'd better go to the ball game
this afternoon? Meet me at ihe south door at one. We'll lunch in town, and
surprise them at the park." A quarter of two at Lincoln Park found Billy
Chace nervous. K He dug his heels into the turf, unconsciously thumped his
bat up and down, sat down, lay down, and got up again. Why didn't the
fel-lows come? (It was still ten minutes until they were due). He thot he
saw Bud away down the street. Panic seized him. What would he tell the
team when it did get there? He would tell them something definite.
Carefully laying his bat on the ground, he straightened his cap, put his
hands into his pockets, and sat down in the bushes. "Your arm's in fine
shape, Billy Chace, but you know very well that Tom Dalton's is better.
Why don't you decide, and quit acting like such a fool? All you want is to
be out there where everyone can see you, and hear them yell, 'Hooray for
Chace.' It's a wonder your cap doesn't split right now! Look here,
William Ruggless Chace, you are going to send Tom Delton into the box. You
are going to sit on the bench, coach the fellows, and leave Tom in the
box, unless he is absolutely rotten. Do you understand? And don't be a
sissy, and change your mind a dozen times before three o'clock either."
"I say, where's Bill? It's five after two." Billy laughed to himself,
reached thru the bushes, and gave a fat leg a jerk. Stubby sat down
suddenly. "Right here, Stubbs. Hello, Don, I must have been asleep," he
added, grinning. "Come on and catch for me, one of you, until the other
fellows come. Hey," he sang out to the bunch coming, "get a move on, you
guys. The Hill fellows will be here pretty quick." 4
-----------

By three o'clock a crowd of boys and girls and a miscellany of older
people had gathered. Billy was just ready to send his men out, when he
caught sight of his fa her. He hesi ated a momenf, and nearly gave in.
Then he turned to the expectant boys. "All right, fellows. Let's go. Snap
into that lively, Tom." The game was on. Billy was soon absorbed in the
play, yelling, encouraging, coaching the fellows on the bench. Mr. Chace
watched his son and smiled. They won, and when the triumphant captain got
home his father met him at the door. He said, with a big hand on Billy's
shoulder, and an emphasis Billy never forgot, "I'm proud of you, son. "

Trimson Moon SECOND PRIZE STORY (By Florence Gerfen) The moon had just
risen above the rim of the tropic sea. Crim-son and brazen it was, as if
half obscured by the wraith of some guilty soul, crimson with the blood of
past misdeeds. The black, low islands, fringed with palms, appeared here
and there on the horizon, and then dropped slowly out of sight as if glad
to escape the great bloody eye of the moon. The slight, warm breeze that
slipped through the rigging of the ship louched mly face with the touch of
dying memories. The atmosphere of the night weighed upon me, but I
scarcely noticed it, in my anxiety and worry. Each throb of the old tramp
steamer's engine seemed but the echo of throbs of my heart, but the heart
of the steamer beat in rythm, while mine would race with hope for a few
minutes, and then almost stop in sudden despair. The frag-rance of the
sweet southern fruit in the hold of the ship did not de-light me as it
usually did-it somehow irritated nme and made my fever greater, for Ellen
loved the scent of tropic fruits, and she was still so far away! The
steamer seemed to be enjoying the soft warmth of the K southern sea, for
it crept along very slowly, with a certain air of luxury about it. It was
like an old, old native woman, drinking each moment's cup of comfort to
the very last drop. A terrible old woman, heeding no one's happiness but
her own. Gradually I worked myself into a half frenzy--what a fool I had
been, what an unutterable fool! What if I should reach home after -but no;
if I thought of that my reason would surely desert me and I would be of
no use. Now, that telegram-such a small piece of paper to carry such
terrible, terrible news! "Come quickly-.Ellen dying-Mother." What golden
days we had 'passed before I was sent here brim-muing with sunshine and
joy--and Ellen was the center of all the sun-shine and joy in the world
for me. Then the clouds of good fortune came, and my chief offered me a
Commission to Malaya to settle some inconsequential misunderstanding with
the natives. The price of my going left me breathless. I accepted the work
and hurried to tell Ellen of it. As I hurried I was thinking that perhaps
it could be our honeymoon-and what a honeymoon that trip would be! Tropic
flowers and tangled jungles, and Ellen more beautiful than any tropic
flower that grew. I told Ellen my plans with incoherent bub-bling words,
but, when we asked her mother and she refused Ellen her request and
pleaded her ill health, I thought I had realized the utter-most depths of
despair. Ellen's mother was a half invalid-but she i
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 87
----------
II JA' G r,57'x" i was also an inveterate society climber, and a big
church wedding for Ellen and me would have given her an opportunity to
climb one step farther up the ladder of social success with unrelenting
firmness. She held her point and Ellen, good and dutiful daughter that she
was, agreed to her mother's demands and even reproached herself for
wanting to go in the first place. So I went alone and spent my time on the
boat in hating and wondering at the "why" of ambition such as Ellen's
mother had. My work in Malaya was nearly finished-hard head-straining
work it was-when that lelegram came. Ellen was hurt! Dying! I took the
first boat home I found-why hadn't I waited a day ald taken a fast San
Francisco liner? But I hadn't and now, evena now, Ellen might be (lead !
And yet the boat crept along- slowly, throbbingly-one day followed ano'her
with heart rending monotony and all nature seemed at peace and rest! The
air was very still-a despairing calm came over me. I looked up at the
moon-it was as clear and pure as the depths of great floating water lily!
A little way down the moon-path was a misty, drifting shape-as it came
slowly nearer, it seemed the form of an angel. It seemed that I had seen
it before, and I forgot all else, so closely did it compel my attention.
It floated nearer, it was Ellen herself-- no. Oh no-not Ellen- but Ellen's
soul! I felt no sadness-no sorrow; I reached out my arms to her and called
her name. Lingering sweetly, she smiled, and then stood before me and
above me. I tried to grasp the end of her fluttering scarf and her
luminous, lovely hands, but clumsy hands grasped only-mist. Then Ellen
leaned closer-closer-put her mist hands upon my eyes-a white, sweet pang
went thru me, and the world was a dark, whirling chaos. I sank thru
countless ages-and then-I slept. How long I was unconscious, I do not
know. To me it seemed many years; the others on the steam;er probably
called it many hours. When I awoke it was still night-smothering and
dense. I felt bound -I could not move more than a fraction of an inch.
Something caught in my throat-some one was speaking. I knew who it was.
It was the old negro steward. "Is dis all right, Cap'un, suh?" "Sew it a
little tighter, Jase; poor boy, it was terrible the way his anxiety killed
him. He had a weak heart, I suppose." The greathearted old Captain passed
on, and I heard him talk-ing in a subdued voice to the first mate.
Slowly, bit by bit, the situation came to me-terrifying, appal-ling. I had
remained unconscious so long that the unschooled cap-tain had thought me
dead, and I really was bound-bound in the canvas cerements of those who
are buried at sea! My head reeled and whirled like the moon on a cloudy,
wind-driven night. My heart nearly stopped and then began to pound
against mny ribs furiously. After a few moments I grew cooler and my brain
cleared. I must tear the canvas, for the steward had left
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 88
----------
me and no one would notice me till I was lowered into the sea. I tensed my
muscles for one great effort. I strained-but the canvas would not give.
Three times I tried-then-surely I heard running foot steps that grew
louder quickly. I rested a moment, for my s rength was almost gone, then
put all my remaining strength against that canvas-it strained-it tore! I
tried again-and the canvas fell from me-the seamis gave way-and the cool,
caressing winds were blowing over mse-the blessed winds of heaven! I
looked at the canvas-I stared-for the canvas wrappings were torn
indeed--only the canvas was made by a firm which manu-factures a very good
grade of wool blankets, blankets which are very hard -o tear! And the
wind-- was blowing thru my bedroom window! I leaped to the window; surely
the moon would be crimson, or at least, a great white disk ! It was
neither-only a weak, watery cres-cent. What was the use? I tumbled back
into bed and tried to keep warm in the cold February night with the torn
canvas (?) blan-kets in which I had nearly been buried in the tropic sea.

P ,3 rPopl u *OUU1t1 (By Dorothy M. Hill) I stood in an iron foundry. I
saw a heap Of old iron, broken pumps, shoe lasts, And fla irons. There
was pig-iron, too, Ruster, ugly. I said to the Master, "What can you do
with this? It's purpose Has been served. There is no good in it." The
Master gently answered, "Judge not hastily- Wait and see. His helpers
took up the iron and put it In'o a furnace. The flames grew very hot,
The bellows fiercely blew. It seemed to me That naught was left but fire,
which burns a space And 1 hen is gone forever. I said again, "Is it not
lost ? Will it be found once more?" He smiled-"Naught shall be lost. What
seemeth loss Is really gain." At last the work was done. From out the
furnace door There poured the iron-a streami of liquid fire! I gazed,
spellbound and dumb, the wonder of it Was so great. "Is this the end? Oh!
'tis worth the fire And every trial beside, that ugly iron Should blossom
into beauty fair." The Master Smiled. " 'Tis not the end-the work I meant
Is but begun." They poured the glowing stuff into molds, And hid it in
black sand. I waited to see What wondrous thing would come of it. The
Master Gave the word. The molds were opened. Within Were new pumps, and
shoe-lasts, and flatirons. "0 shame," I cried, "that such unearthly beauty
Should descend to uses so base." The 1Master chided, "What us is molten
iron to man? From this Take a lesson to thy heart: Be cleansed; Be tried
in the fire-but more than purity Is service."

some littul friend to write a letter to once a weak so we wood not get out
of practise. Some littul friend who has moved away. I only know one littul
boy who has moved away but he is not a freind. He is terruble. He set fire
to my selaloid doll one day. He said it wood not burn. It made a big
blaze and when the fire went out there wasent any doll. I am glad he moved
away. I suppose you wonder where I found your adress. It was in my big
sisters adress book with lots of other ones. It said Mr. Robert E. Lee,
1513 13th Ave., Seattle, Washington. hTat is a long adress to remember. I
wrote it down. I know who you are. We have your picture in our history
book. You have gray whiskers. You are an old man. You fought in a war. I
thought you were dead. I guess you are not. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy
P. S.-My big sister Gloria knows you very much. I asked her did she like
you and she got red and asked me did I clean off the mud off my shoes and
if I dident I better do it right now. P. S.-My sister goes to normal. I am
going to normal when I get big. Martch 8, 1922. Dear M r. Robert Lee, I
told my teacher I was righting to a friend. She was very glad. She gave me
a star. Many things have happened sinse last week. My big sister has a
new fellow. He is tall and has black hair and a mustash. He sells
oilstook. I think thats what Pa calls it. I do not like him. Gloria does.
He pats my head and calls me littul one. That makes me mad. Pa doesent
like him. He tried to get Pa to buy some oilstook. Pa said no he got stung
on a gold brick once. I asked Pa where the gold brick was that he got
stung on and Mister Smead said oh this 4

was a sure thing and Gloria she hunnied around Pa after Mister Smead left
and said she thought it was terreble because Pa woodnet buy any. Pa said
twas all right and took off his shoes and put on his house slippers and
went upstairs. Then Gloria went upstairs and cried on Mas shoulder. She
looks terrable when she cries. She said she guessed anybuddy nice as
Mister Smead was honest and Pa acted as if he wasent. Then she crid some
more and said she wood of put ten dollars in oilstock if she hadent bought
that jorget hat. Ma said yes dearie yes dearie. Ma likes Mister Smead. He
sent her a big bouqet of krisanthums and Gloria a bunch of orchids when
he went away one weak end. But I notise he never sent me anny-thing and I
have to clean out the ash tray after him neerly every morning. The old
lizzard. Gloria dident send only one letter to you this week. Ma noticed
it two. She usually sends three or four at leased. The other night Ma told
Pa she thought you and Gloria were practicly ingaged but Pa laphed at her.
Gloria doesent know her own mind he told Ma. Then they saw me. I thought
you was in bed young lady. Says Pa. I came down to ask Ma where my middy
tie for tomorrow was. I says, Well dont sneek in so quiet after this. Says
Pa. I knew you and Gloria werent ingaged but I dident tell them so. You
are two old for her. I looked at your picture in our history again. Your
wiskers are alwost white. You are very old. K I did not know old mien went
to unionversity. When Gloria came back from Seattle she offen talked about
you. She told Ma she thought you were a peach and an old dear. She did not
say how old. She was always righting to you then and if I sneazed or
coffed she made Ma send me out of the room, so she could get a littil
sense to her letter she said. She made me so mad once I woodent pick up
hairpins off her bedroom floor for a weak. I gess she likes Mister Smead
the way she dolls up. She combs her hair funny now. Yours truly, Marcia

About two weeks ago when I was coming home from Janeie Briggses I was
tiptoing over the wet grass where the sprinkler had been put after Pa had
made the lawn and I stumbled over the sprink-ler and fell kawash. I fellt
terrable. Mostly on account of what I knew Ma wood say. I was brushing the
cut grass offen my middy and wonderring what I wood say to Ma when I heard
voises on the front portch. I heard Mister Smlead say littul one and I
wasent going to let him talk about me with out me knowiing it. I sneeked
up and sat down by the Virgina Creaper ver still. Littul one he said
really you don't know what youve ment to me. I knew then he wasent talking
about me but I just coodent go. Then Gloria said Oh Larry so funny. Then
they dident say anything for a long time. I thought girls were shallo
fickle creechurs but you are so dif-frent. I love you Gloria said Mister
Smead. I knew I ought to go then but my foot was asleep and I reely
coodent budge. I stayed just another teeny minute but when I thought how
terrable Glori wood feel if she saw me there and how terrable she wood
make me feel if she cought me I got up on my feet which were both asleep
(and you can't think how terrably they felt) and hobbeld around to the
back door. I went upstairs and I gess I m~st have taken a terreble long
time to undress. Because pretty soon Gloria came upstairs and went K into
Mas bedroom and I heard them talking terrably fast and loud and I heard
Gloria start crying and then laphing. In the morning at breakfast Gloria
had on a new ring. It was two big for her. I found out next day that it
was Mister Smeads, and that it was a frat ring whatever that is and that
he told her he was going to get her a dimond pretty soon. She was blushing
pretty and she had an extra good do on her hair. Pa acted trubbled and
left as soon as breakfast was over with. About ten oclock he came tearring
back home. He was so excited he nearly fell over Gloria in the hallway.
She was trying to get Mister Smead over the telephone. No use to try to
call up that jay snorts Pa hes skiped the country. Pa came in and told us
all about it. He said Mister Scroggs of the First Nashnel Bank had been
superstishus of Mister Smead from the very first. He looked him up Pa said
and found out he was giving the people a raw deal. I asked Pa what a raw
deal was and was it good cooked and he said hush up an why wasent I at
school. And I says it was Saturday and Gloria ran off to her room and Ma
went after without even washing the pie dough off her hands that she had
left on when Pa called her in. About all Gloria did was stay in her room
and cry. She dident come out all day. She dident even let Ma come in very
much. 09

I heard her say o1t0h ink he was a. faker and a cheat once when I went
passed her door. Next morning she came down to breakfast. She ate
breakfast without saying a word, so I gess she felt pretty bad. Thats all
that happind for about a weak. Then one evning when I past the door to go
to bed she and Ma were talking. Oh mother she said I reelize now it was
only a mad infatuashun. His clothes his style his talk. We were never
sooted to each other. We quarled a great deal. He was so selfish. I
reelize it now. I am glad this happind. It woke me up. I see his faults so
plainly now but his personnalty covered them when I was with him. It was
all a silly love affair. But mother Gloria started crying t errably the
sad-dest part is that the man I reely love I have treated like dirt, like
dir'-. And then Gloria cried something awful. I went away and pretty soon
Mia came out and when she saw ie she said not to make any noise because
Gloria had a wreched headake. The next morning when I past Glorias room
the door was open. I went in. The waste basket was nearly full of torn
letters. I read some of them. Some of them said Dear Robert I know I have
been at fault and Dear Bob In my last letters I was not nice to you and
Dear Robert I want you to forgive me and lots of others. None of them
were finished. I ran down to our mail box but there was no letter there
for the mail man to post. Gloria had not written a real le'ter to mail. K
Gloria is awful sad. Ma is sad. Pa is sad. And I go off to see Janie
Briggses nearly every day after school. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy.
June 24, 1922. Dear Mr. Robert Lee, There is the nicest man at our house
now. He is Glorias new fel-low. He is lots diffrent than Mister Smead. I
like him. So says Gloria. So does Ma. Pa does two. He came from Seattle.
He just graduated from unionversity. He is ingaged to Gloria. Gloria said
she knew him before. They are terrably in love I gess. Gloria is so happy.
His name is Robert Lee. Robert Lee. Why thats your name. I never thought
of that. Ill bet hes your litlul boy and your his Pa. Ill bet he wouldent
like it if he knew I was righting to you. I gess i better not right any
more. Oh well Janie has moved away. I can right to her. Loveingly yours,
Marcia Ann Percy.

Mouutai Ireb (By G. K. Stephens) Mavis stood for a while shading her blue
eyes with her brown hands, gazing down the rough mountain road. The figure
of her father failed to appear. A blue jay scolded hoarsely in the beech
tree by the well, flitting from bough to bough. The log cabin perched upon
the mountain side, the sun bakled cornfield behind, and the green wooded
heights beyond glimmnered in the sunlight of the early autumn afternoon.
The girl crossed over behind the well, waved a friendly hand at the blue
jay, and climbed the rail fence, half buried in wild honey suckle. She
followed a narrow trail winding through the cool trees, her pink calico
dress and red sun bonnet flaming against the green background. Keeping up
an easy stride she at last came to the rough, rib bones of a deep gorge.
As the mountain water raced over its rocky bed it sent up twinkling,
whispering notes. Mavis put her open hands to the corners of her mouth and
called. Only the echo came back for an answer. She sat down on a flat
rock beneath an oak tree. The K soft wind roused the trees, and the
sunlight streamed through brok-enly. She leaned back, her thick braids
dropping forward. She K knew he would come presently, tall and strong,
with his squirrel rifle across his shoulder, smiling with love all for
her. Thus lost in pleasing day-dreams she dozed away. A gunshot broke the
stillness. Mavis jumped to her feet, alive and alert. In a clump of trees
across the gorge a breath of white smoke rose and melted away. Something
fell in the underbrush. After an interval a m;an emerged. "Oh! hits ye,"
she exclaimed. "Yes, hits me," he answered, quietly. "What did ye-all
shoot, Jim ?" Leaning on his rifle, he looked at her helplessly. "Mavis,
honey girl, do ye-all love me ?" "But what did ye shoot at, Jim?"
"''Mavis, honey girl, swear that ye love me." "Youens-all know I love ye.
My men folks kill yours, and yours kill mine; s'ill I love ye." "Then
Mavis, honey gal-" "Quick, Jim, tell me." "Hit was me or him, Mavis,
honey gal, and if ye don't believe , me I will go wi:h the sheriff." Her
body trembled and a wave of trouble crossed her face. "What- quick-tell
me! Who? Oh! My God, tell me, tell me a now. Don't wait, Jim." XT
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 95
----------
She looked at him, her eyes wide and terrified. "Hit was me or him, Mavis,
but I shot first, and I seed his face when he fell, Mavis, honey gal. Hit
was yore dad." A low moan, a terrible moan, a moan that means a change in
one's life, shook her. Her eyes were pitiful and pleading. She fell
toward him among the drifted leaves. He carried her away through the woods
until at last they came near a falls. He laid her on the moss where the
drifting spray came up. An hour later they had made their plans for the
future. "We'ens will go West, Mavis honey gal. We'ens will all go tonight,
and live like the young preacher man says. Live like Chris-tians, Mavis,
honey gal." "Hain't any of we'ens all left now, but me and ma, Jim. But I
love ye, Jim." "Tonight then, Mavis, honey gal." "Tonight," she repeated
hurriedly. She walked fast through the gathering gloom. As she neared the
cabin, she pased the hen coop where a flock of half grown chick-ens with
ragged feathers were going to roost. They chirped drowsily as they crowded
close together for the night. When Mavis reached the cabin her mother was
sitting on the little porch smoking a stubby corn-cob pipe. "KY our dad
shore am late, Mavie. 'Peers to me I heard a shot down by the gorge about
an hour ago. I don't reckon ye happened to come by that-air way?" "No. I
come by the spring." The old woman darted a glance at her, but Mavis' look
was as indifferent as her voice. They sat for some time in solitude.
Crickets chirped, katydids murmured, and an owl hoo-hooed out on the
heights. The old woman arose and entered the cabin, dragging her heavy
shoes across the rough floor. Mavis sat for some time lost in troubled
thoughts of the silent figure that lay half-buried in the underbrush down
by the gorge. At last a young moon peeped above the heights, and off to
the east dark clouds rolled near the horizon. Mavis arose and entered the
cabin. 'After the simple meal, Mavis climbed the ladder leading to the
unfinished room next to the roof. She lit the lamp and placed it on the
table near the only window. The light shone out on the soft branches and
leaves of the locust tree in the corner by the lean-to. Mavis sat for some
time with her face buried in her hands, but she finally gathered a few
things together and placed them near the window. A friendly whinney came
from the barn; looking out she saw the old white mare moving about. The
girl remembered then that she had forgotten to feed the horse. I1 r
-----------

----------
The dark clouds were fast spreading across the sky, and light-ning flashed
above the hills off to the east. When the old clock struck ten, Mavis
crawled through the window, out on the roof of the lean-to kitchen. She
hurriedly climbed to the ground. The wind moaned through the pine grove,
and from far away the baying of hounds floated out over the night. She
s'opped and looked back at the cabin. Bounce, the old shepherd dog, was
following her. She scolded him. He whined, sitting in the middle of the
road, and watched her disappear around a a bend down the mountain. The
deep voice of rumbling thunder rolled over the sky. Large drops of rain
pattered through the trees. Near the gorge Mavis found him holding two
Blue Grass horses. They were startled by hearing some one call from across
The gorge. Bounce, the shepherd, came bounding around the bend. They led
The horses into the shadows by the trees. Presently, when 1he moon peeped
through the clouds for an instant, Mavis saw her mother with the rifle
across her shoulder, standing, looking across the gorge. Again the call
came. T'he old woman answered. "That ye, Pa?" "Yes. The young devil
thought he got me, but it's just a K scratch along by my ear." K The old
woman hurried across to him. The rain was coming faster, and The lightning
broke in orange and yellow streaks. The sounds of galloping horses came
from down the mountain. The old womian, with the heavy frame of the man
leaning on her shoulder, stopped and listened. "Father, Father," she
said. "I would jest as leave see her in hell-fire." At Tunamp in tp
Nortl4lan (By Floris M. Clark) The pearl-capped mountains tower toward he
moon, As pure and unattainable as they; The cool wind murmurs thru the
monarch pines, Rippling The moon-path on the Alaskan bay; And underneath
the darkness of the pines A camp fire glows, a spot of warmth and cheer,
Freedom from prisoning walls and crowded streets! A camp fire, with the
pine trees murmuring near!

ROBERT SHAMBLEY "We were to have a new schoolma'am," said old man Porter
as he drew his chair up on the opposite side of the stove and sent from
his puckered mouth a small dark cloud that barely missed my head and lit
directly behind me in a box of sawdust. "She were to be the first of that
specie in this neck of the woods. You know in them days, some forty years
ago, that is before the time of the Northern Pacific, every bit of the
grub we wanted, we packed smilingly over the hills from Olympia. Them
were the times when every mouthful came twenty miles on the tender of your
back. "As I said a while ago, we were to have a schoolma'am and she were
to be a girl from Ford's Prairie. Appears like the Boyer's had met her at
a church picnic somewheres and she bragged on Mrs. Boyer's good pies and
nice cookies; she had a permit and wanted a job so we-all decided to hire
her and start a school in our church-house. "We had a lanky, unhandsome
youth here, by the namle of Braker, Bill were his common name. Now, Bill
were the only member of our male population who didn't have someone at
home to dictate his thots. We decided it would be a discredit to our
community if that schoolma'am left it alive and unmarried. Charlie Haskins
and I talked it over, and Bill had heard so much of her beauty from the
Boyers he decided he would win her or suffocate in tryin'. We had also
heard she were a reg'lar church- goer; so Charlie an' me decided to break
Bill in by takin' him to church. "As per instructions, Bill gets himself a
Bible and a song book and Charlie and me escorts him to the house of
worship. Charlie takes the lead and I holds Bill be'ween us and steers him
straight up the aisle and down in a seat betwixt Charlie an' I. Everyone
appears so surprised to see Charlie an' I at church that I gets uneasy an'
looks around, an' Bill's smokin' his pipe! Bill gets powerfully intirusted
in the first song, and in spite of Charlie and me jabbin' him in the ribs
with our elbows, Bill were transversin' the last line of them four verses,
while the congrega'ion had stopped to get their breath before attackin'
the second stanza. Then Parson Watkins offered a prayer; me and Charlie
grabbed Bill's hands just as he were about to demand an encore. Then came
the sacrament, served by Mrs. Ainsworth. Before I could stop him Bill had
half the little biscuits and was drinkin' down the wine. I felt real sorry
for the poor lady when the tears filled her eyes; for it meant twenty
miles for more wine. "Well, I jes' state these incidents as evidence of
Bill's ignorance and to show you how Charlie and me threw our reputation
to the winds all for Bill.
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 98
----------
I I "At last the schoolma'am came. Bill got a new shirt that ap-peared as
tho some one was playing a game of checkers on it and moved so many times
they got disgusted and quit; a new celluloid collar that you could look in
and see whose coming to town, if Bill were standing out there on main
street; a coat that almost forgot to quit and a pair of pants that didn't
hardly commence. Dick Osgood gave his old derby hat that had begun to
boast that its ancestors were Irish. We couldn't find no shoe polish so we
scraped up some ink and we polished the hat also. "The night came for
Bill's first meetin'; he was to escort her home from church. Here in the
meantime it was agreed I was to sneak up and sit under her porch to see
that Bill made no mistakes. I impressed Bill not to try and shake hands
the first night as it never paid to be too forward; Bill went to church
and I sneaked to my post. "I must have gone to sleep for all at once I
heard her and Bill cooin' an' I felt somethin' scratchin' and pushin' at
my back; gettin' disgusted, I reached around in the dark to get what I thot
was a cat. It weren't long till I realized it were a skunk. Bill and her
dispersed. I decided right there Bill would have to practice his love
appeals on Charlie as that weren't any safe above under that porch.
"Next day we met right here in this selfsame post- office. Bill told us
how he looked into her eyes and saw cabbage growing in a lit le garden
around their home and all that time he had a itching at his heart. I told
Bill 'twere all fancy and he no doubt got flees from that pesky dog of
ours. But Bill raved on about his divine lady and I bet Charlie five
dollars Bill would be married at the end of a month; I only got two and a
half because Bill made the hitch before two weeks. "Maybe you've never
been a married woman and taught a lot of young fellows how to dance; when
they learned they quit you cold and sallied forth with the very same girls
that refused to accept 'em until they were graduates. Well, that was the
way with Bill an' us. After Charlie and me brought him up from the slums
and accepted him as a protygee, so to speak, he married that schoolma'am
and whenever he saw Charlie or me, he got a kink in the back of his neck
that pulled his chin higher and higher till he was clear past us. All ihis
time she'd look at Bill and grin pretty; like a spider grins at a fly
that's caught in its web and it expects to live off of fer a while. 'Now,
Bill's dream of cabbage around his home never matured; for it would be
askin' a favor of a water-lily to grow in such a place. It seemed Bill
needed a babling brook to murmur his undying love to his learned bride. So
in a little canyon where a brook blowed that summer, Bill built his home.
There they resided till the first floods of rain in September an' then
Bill's litle brook became a roarin' river and Bill's place laid with one
corner hangin' onto Squire Davis's fence post. I I I I fi
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 99
----------
That weren't enuf to discourage Bill so he bot that land from Squire Davis
an' put three more fence posts under the house and ap-peared to get more
dignified on account of the altitood of his home. Under that high house
Bill made a pig-pen and it weren't long, only a few years, until them
hillsides were gruntin' with pigs. About that time the railroad came
rushin' thru and nestled down here for six long months to cut thru this
Porter Bluff. En' durin' that time the railroad men must eat; so Bill's
herd of grunters dissembled down to a soloist, which Bill kep' as a
souvenir. From that time on Bill's smile were worth a couple thousand.
"After we had all declared Bill crazy with swine-itis he came out of our
prediction announcin' prosperity. Then came the panic of '93. Dollars wuz
so seldom seen that if it hadn't been fer a stray eagle flyin' over now
and then, we'd a clean forgot th' emblem of this United States. "Well
then, Bill wasn't content with being king o' the mighty dollar association
of our neighborhood, so he made a display o' spend-in' every cent of his
two thousand dollars for limber claims, and you can bet he got a lot of
them. Why, in them days we wuz more par-ticular about the lumber we burned
for wood than you are about your coffins. Bill worked on the section to
pay his taxes and Charlie Haskins laughed at him. But Bill plodded along
happy, like that fellow among the cannibals that wuz to be cooked fer a
mulligan and had to furnish his own kittle. Bill hung on like mad. Say!
don't you know Bill? Bill that had his picture in last Sunday's paper with
the big high hat and swaller-tailed coat? Bill what's going to take a
trip to Europe in his newly-assembled yacht? Say, didn't you read that !
Bill that's worth ten million! Well! Well! Don't know Bill! I'll swan !"
3rishl lumber #ong (By Floris M. Clark) Sweet be your slumbers, White
Flower of the May Time, Fairies are waiting to waft you away; Soon
they'll be sailing to Dream Vales enchanted, Bearing you with them to join
in their play. Whist! Till the wee folk, that softly come stealing, Back
to their glen, on a moon beam, have flown; Hush thee in slumber, and sweet
be your dreaming, Heart of my heart! 0, my colleen! My own! 99

DOROTHY FORCH OLIVER INGERSOLL WADE BRITTOIL lr eAtkly eAsunger Each
Friday the students of the Bellingham Normal School await eagerly the
arrival of the Weekly Messenger, their school publication. News, jokes,
announcements-these are but a few of the things that make the Messenger a
weekly forceful reminder that the Normal is a live school-that its faculty
and students are really accomplishing things. Beginning shortly before
1903, the Student's Association has published The Weekly Messenger, and
has endeavored each year to make it more representative of school life,
more intersting and more worth while in every way. At first the Messenger
was published quarterly, then monthly and, since 1916, weekly. The Board
of 100 ANNE BRAN NICK - ----- ------ P aunt
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 101
----------
Control, made up of five students and two faculty representatives, is
responsible for its management. The organization of the Messenger
consists of a business manager who receives a salary, an Editor-ii- Chief
who receives four credits in English, and a staff of reporters who receive
two credits each. The business manager is elected by the year and the
Editor-in- Chief may receive credit for only one quarter's work. The
regular issue of the Messenger contains eight pages, but specials
containing exira pages are sometimes issued. A high grade quality of
magazine paper is used, which makes it more attractive than the ordinary
school paper. Its attractiveness is also enhanced by the quality and
beauty of its cuts. Believing that the duty of a paper is to attract and
interest i's readers the management of the Messenger has attempted to get
away from the old lime, long drawn out news articles, and to make each
item stand out so vividly and compellingly that it must be read. From a
random census taken in the school, it was found that almost in-variably
the students now read the Messenger from cover to cover. The editorial
policy of the Messenger the past year has been a constructive one, keeping
in mind at all times the best interests of the school. Wholesome physical
and social activities have at all times been earnestly championed and high
standards of scholarship continually upheld. The Messenger has also
increasingly urged stu- K dent attendance at all school activities. It is
commonly accepted as a fact that the Messenger has done more than any
other one institution to create a real school spirit. At the beginning of
the first quarter, Roscoe Altman, a graduate of Whatcom High School was
elected business manager. He gave up this position at the end of a month
as he was forced to leave school for the time being. Wade Bristol, a
graduate of Nooksack High School, was then elected business manager. Under
the business man-agement of MIr. Bristol the Messenger has been put on a
sound finan-cial basis. It now has more inches of advertising than ever
before in its history, and it is believed that the advertisers are getting
results. Dorothy Forch, who spent time in the University of Idaho and the
University of California, was elected editor for the first quarter. She
came well recommended and proved herself well fitted for the po-sition.
Nothing escaped her eagle eye, and under her guiding hand th Messenger
was, throughout the whole quarter, a common medium of informiation,
instruction and entertainment. Anne Brannick, a graduate of the Assumption
High School of Bellingham, was elected editor for the second quarter. Anne
proved herself a real journalist and under her leadership the Messenger
became probably morely widely read than ever before. She was especially
noted for her clever editorials and the enthusiasm aroused in school
activities by them was undoubtedly beyond parallel in the history of the
school. 1777
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 102
----------
Oliver R. Ingersoll, a graduate of Nooksack High School, was elected
editor for the third quarter. His chief aim was to make the Messenger
such that it would be read by all students, and to increase its
attractiveness in every way. Under his editorship the use of filler was
for the most part done away with and each item or article pub-lished
invariably dealt with something of interest to students. He also
encouraged the drawing of cartoons and during the latter part of his
editorship several were published. Miss Olive Edens, the Messenger critic,
left in the middle of the year for a tour of Europe. She had endeared
herself to all members s of the Messenger staff and proved herself not
only a real manager and critic, but a constant source of inspiration. Her
place was taken by Mrs. Vaughan, who has carried on the work in a
wonderful man-ner. Her interest and enthusiasm for the Messenger have been
a real inspiration to the staff and her timely help and advice have caused
constant improvement in the paper. a rr 102

on October 15, the Normal defeated the Wool-ley High School, 14 to 0, in
the first official game of the season. Ex-cept for scoring, however, the
game was in no way one-sided. Wool-ley made big yardage in Ihe first two
plays, and the two teams di- vided equally the possession of the ball from
then until the end of the first quarter, the Normal having it in Woolley
territory at the close of the quarter. Soon after the beginning of the
second quarter it seemied as if the Normal would score, but she was held
for downs on the five-yard line and Woolley took the ball. A few minutes
later the Normal got the ball and began advances, but was halted for downs
on the ten- yard line. From then until the end of the first half, neither
goal was in danger. The third quarter began with a repetition of the same
perform-ance, and ended with the Normal in possession of the ball. In the
final quarter, with the ball on Woolley's 15-yard line, the Normal was
given 7 yards' penalty on Woolley, and on the next play Gaas-land put the
ball across for the first score in the game. By a series of short plays
ending in an end-run by Fisher, the Normal added another touchdown.
"Keppy" kicked both goals. Normal line-up: Kepplinger, Radcliffe, Cone,

On Saturday, October 22, the Normal squad met the Keyport Torpedo Station
eleven, in the first home gam;e of the season. During the first minute of
the game, Keplinger, right end for Normal, made a thrilling 70-yard dash,
ending in a touchdown. The Gobs received on the next kick-off, but the
Normal got the ball on a forward pass and a few minutes later "Keppy"
trotted over the line for another seven points. Score at end of first
quarter, Nor-mal 14, Keyport 0. "Keppy" "knocked 'em dead" again in the
second quarter, by breaking away with a forward pass and tallying seven
more points for the Normal. In the second half, the Gobs made yardage
several times by line plunges, but were forced to punt on their 60- yard
line. "Rusty" Campbell began hitting the line for small gains until within
5 yards of the goal, when he himself carried the skin over for the final
score of the gamle. In the last quarter, the Normal was within one yard
of the goal when time was called and the game ended 28 to 0. Normal
line-up: Keplinger, "P op" Rairdon, Radcliffe, Mc- Comas, Knowlton, Hoyt,
Tryggvi, Macpherson, Miller, Fisher and Campbell. Substitutes: Wynne for
Knowlton; Cone for Wynne. It was on a sloppy home field that the Normal
met and defeated the eleven from the College of P get Sound, October 29.
C. P. S. K received at the start, and for a time seemed to have things her
own way. Soon, however, the Normal got the ball and at the beginning of
the second quarter sent Macpherson across the line with it. Tacoma kicked,
and a little later Macpherson staged a place kick, adding 3 points to the
score. The Normal, feeling satisfied with her achievements, went to sleep
long enough for C. P. S. to score 6 points via the touchdown route; but in
the final quarter "Rusty" Campbell sealed the victory with another
touchdown. Final score: Normal 17, C. P. S. 6. The most noteworthy
incident in this game was the place kick by Macpherson, who kicked the
wet, mud-covered ball the neat dis-tance of 35 yards, over the bar. This
is a feat seldom attempted under similar conditions, and very rarely
accomplished. 'Normal line-up: Keplinger, Rairdon, Radcliffe, McComas(
Cone, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Campbell, Macpherson, Gaasland and Fisher.
Sub-stitutes: Miller for Fisher; Knowllton for Radcliffe; Powell for
Kep-linger; Keplinger for Powell; Hatley for Cone; Cone for McComas. The
first and only defeat of the season came on November 4, when the Niormal
met U. of W. Frosh here. Although outclassed and outplayed, the Normal
team fought hard to the finish, and the game was closer than the score
might indicate. The Baby Sun Dodgers scored a touchdown and goal in the
first, and again in the last quar-ters of the game. Macpherson's 30-yard
pass to Tryggvi in the last 105 : r

.c eight minutes of play came near to causing a tie score, as the field
was clear, but Tryggvi dropped the pass, and the Frosh began a series of
passes which ended in another touchdown. Normal line-up: McComas,
Knowlton, Cone, Rairdon, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Keplinger, Campbell, Fisher
(Captain), Gaasland and Mac-pherson. A fitting close to the Normal's
football season was made here on Armistice Day, when the White and Blue
met and defeated St. Mar-tin's College, of Lacey. The game was close.
Although the Normal goal was threatened twice, the invaders were kept from
scoring by hard fighting. The first half was about "nip and tuck" with the
* visitors playing a little better than the locals. In the second half
Gaasland replaced Miller and added fresh strength to the offense. After a
series of plays, linebucks and passes, the Normal put the ball on the
one-yard line. Captain Fisher carried it over. From then till the end the
teams see-sawed and fought for possession of the ball. The final score
stood: Normal 6, St. Martin's College 0. Normal line-up: Tryggvi, Hoyt,
Cone, McComas, Radcliffe, Rairdon, Keplinger, Campbell, Miller, Fisher and
Macpherson. Sub-stitutes: Gaasland for Miller, Allen for Gaasland. iDue
to the extreme success of the latest football season, with all its
handicaps, there is every reason to expect the development of a winning
team next fall. Starting with no letter men and with no football field,
Coach Carver developed a team which won four out K of five official games
played. The following letter men have ex- K pressed their intentions of
returning next fall quarter: Tryggvi, McComas, Knowlton, Rairdon,
Keplinger, Miller and Gaasland. With these men to serve as the nucleus for
the new team, and with the home field to play on, promised by the new
administration, Coach Carver looks forward to the coming football season
with much opi imism. 106

(Whites) defeated the strong ex-Normal team of Vancouver, B. C., January
7, on Whatcom's floor, 29 to 19. It was a hard fought game. The Normal led
all the way, showing better shooting ability. At the end of the first half
B. S. N. S. led 13 to 3. Each team made 16 points the second half. The
fast floor work and shooting ability of Vanderford and Hughes, forwards,
the close guarding of Fisher and Keplinger, and the strong offensive and
defensive playing of Cone and Black, centers, accounted for the victory.
The Blues lost in the preliminary to Brown Cole, who showed nice
teamwork. The game was made interesting by the fast playing of Allen and
Lindstedt. Score 16 to 38. C. P. S. On January 14, in the Whatcom gym,
the College of Puget Sound administered the first defeat of the season to
the Normal five, by the score 23 to 15. The visitors held the lead
throughout, showing ability for clever passing and shooting and close
guarding. The first half ended 10 to 17. In the preliminary, the Blues
won from Company E, 20 to 18. Whatcom High School. The Normal defeated

Ellensburg Normal. January 27 witnessed the defeat of the local Normal by
Ellens-burg, 23 to 14, in the Normal's small gym. Hughes, star forward,
for B. S. N. S., missed many shots by a narrow margin. The game was fast
and clean. The visitors led 11 to 10 at the end of the first half. On the
following night, in the Whatcom gym, the Normal staged a strong. comeback,
defeating Ellensburg 18 to 10. The whole team starred, outplaying their
opponents at every stage of the game. Vancouver Ex-Normal. The Normal lost
to the Vancouver E-Normal, there, February 4, by the score of 16 to 26.
This squared accounts, as the winners were beaten in Bellingham several
weeks previous. The Normal team was weakened by the absence of Hughes and
Vanderford, forwards. Miller and Allen filled their places, Mc- Comas,
center, and Fisher and Keplinger, guards. East-of-Mountain Tour. The
first game of the East-of-the-mountain tour was played Feb-ruary 6, with
the Leavenworth Athletic Club, who were defeated by the close score of 21
to 19. Hughes and Vanderford did not accom-pany the team on this tour.
Cone starred in this game, shooting the needed baskets. The next three
games on the tour were lost by the Normal. On February 8, Cheney Normal
defeated the invaders 25 to 17, in a hard-fought game. They secured the
lead in the last few min-utes of play. Ellensburg Normal won two games
from the Bellingham Normal, on February 10 and 11. The scores were, 30 to
9 in the first game, and 37 to 17 in the second. In both games Ellensburg
held a strong lead all the way. Hughes, the Normal's star player and
captain, was very much missed on this trip, as most of the Normal's
teamwork hinged around him. St. Martin's College. One of the fastest and
closest games of the season was played here on February 18, when the
Normal team defeated St. Martin's College five by the score of 25 to 24.
The score see-sawed back and forth all through the game, first one team
leading, then the other The first half ended 16 to 12 in St. Martin's
favor. In the preliminary game, the Normal Blues (second team) lost to
Blaine High School by the score of 26 to 13, due to weakness in teamwork.

......... 12 The second team is Ihe force behind the first team. On it the
first squad depends for its practice and training, and from its per-sonnel
are taken many of the first team players. This year the second team was a
success in spite of the large number of games lost. Competition for places
on the team was keen throughout the season, no man having a particular
place "cinched." Steady improvement in passing and in general floor work
could be seen throughout the season. It will surprise many a basketball
judge if the fast, clever work of Lindstedt, Abbey and Reddick will not
make them dangerous contenders for first team berths next year. With the
coming long-needed gymnasium equipment, there are well grounded hopes that
a first and a second team, of first rank, will be developed next year.

The baseball season opened at the beginning of the spring quar-ter, with
indoor practice. Mit practice continued in 1he gym, until the weather
permitted outdoor practice. This had to be confined mostly to batting, as
no adequate field or diamond was at hand. A practice game was played on
March 25, with the Fairhaven High School nine. The outcome was in the
Normal's favor, with the score 15-6. The main weakness of the team was
wild throwing, due to lack of facilities for practice. Much hard slugging
accounted for the Normal's high score. On April 1, the second game of 1he
season was played with Sedro-Woolley High, whom the Normal trimmed 18 to 6.
Much im-provement in throwing was noticeable, while the slugging continued
strong. Batteries for the Normal were McComas and Thomas. The next game
was played on April 12, with the High School at Ferndale. The Normal again
brought home the bacon-Score 11 to 1. Batteries for the Normal were
McComas and Thomas, Lindstedt and Knowlton. Special features of this game
were "Gazzy," getting walked, and "Little Keppy" wading knee-deep through
the mud, to capture a fly. On April 15, the Normal met and defeated the
husky team from K Blaine High School by the score of 7 to 1. Batting was
fair, but Ran-kin, pitcher for the Normal, deserves credit for the low
score of Blaine, as support was weak. Sedro-Woolley came back for more,
on April 19, and got it, the score being 11 to 3, in the Normal's favor.
Batteries for the Normal, McComas and Thomas. On April 26, Ferndale High
was again beaten, in a return game, 15 to 3. Stowell and Bristol pitched
for the Normal. So far, the Normal has not been pressed, but some hard
games are yet in store for her, on April 29, and again on May 13, with the
U. of W. Freshmen. While the outcome of these games is uncertain, Coach
Carver places much confidence in the twirling ability of Ran-kin, and in
the steady hitting of Bristol, Keplinger, Rankin, Vander-ford, Stowell,
and others. Those on the squad are Rankin, Thomas, Keplinger, Vanderford,
Bristol, McComas, Jenne, Allen, Stowell, Lindstedt, Rue, Knowlton, and
Gaasland. 117

Trark The big track event of the season is the meet with Whatcom High
School, to be held May 6. Some good material is on hand for the var-ious
events, but, as is the case in all the other sports, the Normal is
handicapped by the lack of adequate grounds and equipment. The distance
men are Abbey, Smith and Reddick, while Allen, Vanderford and Crane will
represent the Normal in the sprints, and Allen and Crane in the hurdles.
The jumps are contested by Allen, Abbey, McComas, Johnson and Crane; the
pole vault by Allen, Black and Jenne. Weight men are Soffainason,
McComas, Allen, Black. Abbey. Allen is showing good form with the discus,
and Soffainason bids fair to take a first in the shot-put, having put the
ball 461/) feet in practice. 118 4.F

4 Ianketball The girls have made a fine showing this year in spite of
their numerous handicaps. Basketball and Baseball were the only sports,
with a little tennis in the spring. Basketball is always the biggest thing
of the year with the girls. , They started their training early in
September under the strict sup-ervision of Miss Watrous, the very
efficient coach. Every night from September till February, the "Gym" was
used by the two classes fdr practice in order that they may clash at the
proper time. The girls decided to play three games for the Kline Cup
instead of two, and the team with high score at the end of this series
would be entitled to the cup. This would keep the competition muach keener
to the end. After many long days and nights of waiting the first game was
played February 7, 1921. The game was fast and the Juniors took the lead
in the first half, but in the last half the Seniors caught up with the
younger team and when the whistle blew time, the teams tied with a score
of 18-18. SENIORS LINE-UP JUNIORS K N orling ........ .

J.C................... The second game was played February 15, 1922, at 4
p. m., in the little "Gym." Both teams were all keyed up with excitement
and were at their best, ready to fight a long hard battle. They were well
supported by their classes. The Juniors were the victors of this game
winning by 17 points with a score of 25-18. At the end of the second game
the Juniors were the proud pos-sessors of 43 points and the Seniors 26,
but still the Seniors were not discouraged and declared that they still had
a lot of fight in them, they also had "HOPE." The decisive game was played
February 27, 1922. Everyone was there. The two teams came together with a
bang and they fought the game fast and furiously, but the Juniors carried
away the honors again, with a score of 20-6. And the Kline Cup was theirs
for another year, with a final score. of 63-32. Both teams played good,
clean ball, and every girl was a good a sport thruout the entire series.

Slheapian Mlub The Thespian club has enjoyed one of the finest years
during its many years of existence. True Thespian spirit and pep prevailed
from the very first meeting until the last. The club started off with a
bang on its first meeting night, Sep-tember 29, 1921, with twenty new
embers and* an equal number of former members. The new Thespians were very
much impressed by the enthusiastic interest evinced by the old Thespians
and were proud indeed to place their signatures on the membership roll of
Bel-lingham Normal's only dramatic organization, the Thespian club.
Thespian hospitality was in evidence after the meeting when a de-licious
"feed" was served in honor of the new members. The club was fortunate in
having a variety of talent which made it possible to give some excellent
programs, featuring music and aesthetic dancing as well as dramatics. 132

It was the purpose of the club to study one act plays. About ten one-act
plays were presented in the club room. Among these were: "The Maker of
Dreams," and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by the Irish playwright, Yeats;
"Trifles" and "Suppressed Desires," writ-ten jointly by Susan Glaspell and
George Cram Cook; "The Rider of Dreams," which is perhaps Rigley
Torrence's masterpiece; and "Nevertheless," and the "Medicine Man," by
Stewart Walker, the origina t or of the Portmanteau theatre. A m!inute
discussion of Stew-art Walker's interesting innovation, the Portmanteau
theatre, was given and its good points so well brought out that the club
waxed en- Ihusiastic about purchasing one, but the cost was found to be
pro-hibitive. Amiong the year's most delightful evenings was the one
de-voted to the study of 0. Henry, as a man and as a short story writer.
The Thespian club's annual evening performance, given April 28th, was
unusually successful. Three short plays, "The Land of Heart's Desire," the
"Maker of Dreams," and "The Medicine Show" were presented. But do not
think that the Thespians did nothing but work, for that certainly would be
unfair to the many "eats" committees which the president found it necessary
to appoint. Aside from the many smaller "feeds" given in the club room,
the Thespians enjoyed two or three real social evenings "out." The K first
was a masquerade party given on Hallowe'en night by Madeline K Hess at her
home. The rooms were weirdly decorated in honor of the occasion and every
member was masked. All professions, except the teaching profession, were
represented. One young man went so far as to appear as an alluring young
vamp. Nio, Erwin, I wouldn't think of telling who it was. Everyone had a
jolly, good time, and at the evening's close refreshments in keeping with
Hallow'en were served. On December 17, 1922, Thespians celebrated the
season with a Christmas banquet in the private dining room of the Leopold
Hotel. The table was appropriately decorated with a Chistmas tree, candy
canes and other reminders of the Yule-tide . Howard Nessen, the toastmaster
of the evening, unmercifully demanded an impromptu toast from everybody,
the subject being the Christmas gift, which each had just received. The
gifts ranged from kewpies and mechani-cal spiders to such prosaic things as
scissors. .9 The Thespians did not gather again around the festal board
till the time of the annual banquet, which formed a beautiful and fitting
close to the Tehspian annals of 1921 and '22. 133

members were taken through the mys eries of initiation. Many and weird
were the stunts to which the candidates were subjected, the tragic effects
of which were evident the following day, when the new Philos appeared at
school in bandages of all descriptions but with beaming countenances. 134

The next big event of the year was the Philo birthday party, held on
November twenty-sixth at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi, at 916
High Street. Many Philo Alumni were present as well as the active members
of the club. According to a long-estab-lished custom, the evening was
spent in playing the Philo game, Lucien Loring carrying off the honors of
the evening and receiving an appropriate prize. During refreshments
several members were called upon for toasts, after which the guests
departed. The party was one of the most enjoyable events in the club year.
On February twenty-fifth the formal banquet of the year was held at the
Pheasant. Guests included Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, and many Philo Alumini.
The banquet was in the form of a progressive dinner, the guests changing
tables between courses. A very inter-esling program was a part of the
evening's entertainment. Toasts were given by Dr. Nash, retiring president
of the Normal, Professor Philippi, sponsor of the society, and Professor
Kolstad, honorary member of the club. Talks were given by several other
members. The banquet came to a close following the singing of the Philo
song. The Philos had the honor on the thirty-first of March of enter-
taining the Cheney and Bellingham debating teams at a reception in the
magnificently furnished drawing room of Edens Hall. The occasion marked
the date of the clash between the two teams, in which our debaters, tho
putting up a splendid fight, were defeated. Philos were proud to claim two
of the Bellingham; team as active members of their society. These members
were Miss Margaret Spaight K and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll. As the Klipsun goes
to press the Philos are looking forward to the crowning event of the year,
the annual week-end party, to be held at Mr. Kolstad's cottage, at some
date in the near future. Hurrah for the Philos! May they always have as
splendid an organization as they boast at the present time. Three cheers
for Mr. Philippi, our sponsor! No club ever had a more worthy leader nor
one who holds such a warm place in our hearts as he. 135

The first Sunday afternoon the president gave the message at the first
meeting held in the Y. W. C. A. room. The regular weekly meetings have
been held on Thursday at 2 o'clock and have always been profitable and
inspiring. The first one was an informal social gathering at which old
members told in what way the Association had appealed to them. The
speakers at these meetings have been sometimes students, and sometimes
faculty members, Missionaries and pastors. The most distinguished speaker
was Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, a Bible teacher of national reputation. Nine
Bible classes have been organized and carried on under competent
leaders-Mr. Bond, Mrs. George Miller, Mrs. Kibbe, Mrs Hillis, Miss Gordon,
Miss McDonald, Mrs. Templeton, Miss Sperry and Mrs. Vaughn. The subj 'et
for this year has been the Gospel of Luke. At Dr. Nash's request, the Y.
W. C. A. took charge of the recognation of Roosevelt day, and secured Dr.
McPhail as speaker. Early in January the fourteenth annual Bible Institute
was held for a week-end, during which seven excellent addresses were
given. Mrs. J. A. Campbell, and Dr. Georgia Sattler, of Seattle, were the
speakers. This was the big inspiration of 1he year, and one of the best
institutes ever held. During this quarter Mrs. Clark, whose daughter is a
missionary in Turkey, is teaching a mission study class in the Cross Roads
of the Near East. The social service department, as far as possible, has
carried flowers to sick girls. Beside the opening reception, a
Thanksgiving party was given for all those in town during vacation, and a
membership party at the home of Mabel Miller was given in honor of Miss
Gordon. Doubtless the occasion that remains longest in the minds and
hearts of all pres-ent is the sunrise Easter service on top of Sehome
Hill. Only three times in fifteen years has rain prevented this meeting.
This year the messages were brought by the girls. But that of which we
are proudest is the fact that four of our student volunteers this year
have taken up work in missionary fields. Esther Nelson '20, sailed in
September to Burma; Violet Parker '15, sailed in November for Santa
Domingo, and with another nurse has opened a hospital; Fay Bruneau left at
Christmas to teach in Iquique. Chile, South America; On M1Larch 23rd,
Clara Gordon '20, of our own faculty, sailed to Korea. This makes seventeen
of our students who are under foreign mission boards, and three others are
under home missionary boards. 137

1rtbustrid Arts During the war many of the able-bodied young men withdrew
from school to answer the call for service in the army, navy, aviation or
the industries. Now that the war is over and conditions are get-ting back
to normal many of these same young men are coming back to school, for
their experience during the past few years has brought them to the
realization of what a good education really means to them. They are also
realizing that the teaching profession offers them many opportunities that
other lines of work do not, even tho the return in dollars and cents may
not be as great at present. However, the time is coming soon when that
condition will be better, too. Those students who have considerable
mechanical ability are at-tracted to the Industrial Arts, where a thoro
training in the different lines of woodwork and drawing is offered.
Because of the many at-tractive positions in this work all over the state
many of the students are preparing themselves to teach these subjects. The
number of stu-denis thus enrolled during the last two years has increased
many fold, and indications are for an even larger attendance. But the
interest in the woodwork and drawing is not limited to the young men alone
for there are also a large number of young women in the department. This
number is increasing every quarter, K which shows that the young women are
beginning to realize what an K advantage it is to them to be able to
handle woodworking tools and be able to make and read drawings. That they
have the ability to do the work and do it well is being demonstrated
every day, and quite a few of them are putting to shame some of the young
men as to the quality of work one. Those students who have nt visited the
shops and who have not seen the fine projects made there will find it
worth their time and trouble to do so. We occasionally hear such expres- *
sions as these, from students who have been in school here for one or even
two years, "Why, [ never knew they did that kind of work in this school";
or, "I didn't know there was such a place here where they did furniture
making. I didn't even know it could be done so well by hand." And when
those same people find that some of that fine work was done by young
women, their surprise is all the greater. Our advice to all students
is-find out what is being done in all departments of your school so that
when you are asked about the school and its work you are in a position to
intelligently advise or inform. I int 138

"Spell of the Yukon." The love of the North every year draws the Alaskans
of the school into a group under the name of the Sourdough Club. It is a
social club whose members are bound together by a common interest, but it
also aims to be of real service by acquainting people with Alaska as it is
and not as many imagine it to be. One of the biggest events of the club
this year was the opening banquets at the Leopold Hotel. The decorations,
place cards and after dinner speeches of course all centered around the
subject of the Northland. Later Mr. Kolstad entertained the club at his
cabin on Lake Whatcom and every member was thankful that he was a
Sourdough. The club officers are: Adele Bunting, President; Johanna
Mil-ler, Vice President; John Fuller, Secretary-Treasurer. The members
are: Rita Gard, Janie Faherty, Eleanor Barrows, Lois Pice, Miss Rose,
Floris Clark, Einer Christensen, L. I T. Barber, James B. Collins, Ward

The P. E. Majors called their first mieeting early in September and
elected their officers for the year. New members were welcomed by a short
meeting and a "long" feed in the cafeteria. The P. E. Majors are not very
large in number but each month they found time to meet for helpful talks
from their sponsors, Miss Long and Miss Watrous. They have also enjoyed
very interesting programs given by their members. They have some very
wonderful ideas that they are working out, and when they are worked out to
their satisfaction they will announce it to the school. y T 142

Newman Club organized early in the school year. A large number of girls
joined the organization and helped to make it a very worth while and
active club. Miss Knapstein, secretary to Miss Gertrude Earhart, acted as
club sponsor. Always jolly, capable and willing, Miss Knapstein proved
herself a very charming leader. During the second and third quarters, Mr.
Hunt, who had been absent during the first quarter, took an active
interest in the affairs of the club. He stimulated increased membership,
and led the club on numerous hikes and picnics. Our two club mixers were
especially jolly and interesting. Some really unique games were discovered
at them, and some startling in-teligence displayed. Newman Club became
famous for its "feeds." Miss Juanita Paradis proved herself a very
energetic, capable, jolly president and all members of the club enjoyed
her leadership. 143

4 Otubio Art (lub "Art has been defined as the ability to answer in terms
of beauty, a human need." Too many consider art only a picture in a
frame, while in reality it is something vital that is always with us,
whether it be the house we live in, a new dress, a book cover or a
vegetable garden. The club has a large number of reproductions, in-cluding
colored as well as black and white prints, which are for the use of the
club members and art students. Some interesting phases of the club work
are not only the study of artists and their produc-tions, but the members
often meet for the purpose of sketching and painting. 144
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 145

This year they studied children in art; taking up various phases, such as
portraiture and illustration. The regular program of the club is
frequently followed by a social hour, in which the members become better
acquainted with one another. This part of the meeting is made as varied
and interesting as possible, since one essential part of a student's
training is in the line of social leadership. The responsi-bility for the
success of each meeting is divided so that each member of the club shares
in turn Ihe various types of activity involved, thus getting not only art
training but social training as well. The success of this phase is
demonstrated in the efficient manner in which the members of the Studio
Art Club act as hostesses and serve refresh-ments at the annual Art
Department Exhibit, Open House day, and other occasions. It is this unity
of purpose, this social spirit, and this willingness to bear and share
responsibility that makes the Studio Art Club one of the finest
organizations of the school. 1 Tho we may not yet be masters, Tho we may
not yet have fame, Still we're studying and striving To win our club a
name. 2 When some day in the far future Some of us have found success,
K Some, perhaps, have lost their vision, K Rich ones, poor ones in
distress, 3. Then we'll all of us remember, Looking back along the years
The good times we had together, Our ambitions, hopes and fears. 4. The
long talks on art and pictures, Master artists we grew to love, When we

a fitting conclusion to the Christmas vacation, one hundred twenty girls
trooped merrily into Edens Hall, January second. More than one was
initiated in o the mysteries of our new home by the staccato sounds
reverbrating through the house on our arrival. Truly, we began to think it
was haunted when beds refused to stand up and rugs began to slip. Tours of
inspection, however, soon revealed the wonderful beauty of our new home.
The hall has been the scene of numerous school activities since its
opening-two Alumni and a faculty banquet, the Philo reception K for the
Cheney debaters, and the formal reception for Dr. Waldo. K Our own parties
have been the jolliest ever. Hallowe'en was celebrated in a fitting manner
by the spookiest of parties. The gayly decorated dining room was the scene
of the occasion. The climax of our festive occasion was reached when we
enter-tained the faculty and men of the school with a Washington party.
Numerous balloons attached to the ceiling made our beautiful dining room
even more attractive. Keen interest was aroused in the contest between the
girls of the three floors, each presenting snappy, clever stunts. Songs
around the blazing fire concluded the evening. We shall never forget the
pleasures of Dormitory life such as spreads, frolics, dancing, and hikes.
Best of all, the friendships formed cannot help but prove to be lasting
ones. Attributes of Edens Hall Girls: E-nthusiasm D-evotion E-arnestness

much of a past to conceal or .expose, as the case may be, but we have a
present and a future worthy of disclosure. We organized under Miss
Sperry. Fortune was with us in our securing Miss Montgomery and Miss
Jacobs as our very able spon- sors. Our membership is small in quantity
but certainly not in qual-ify, for we have a very enthusiastic group of
students co-operating for their club's success. Our fortnightly meeting
programs have shown we have musical as well as story telling ability.
Laely we have beeen studying the in-teresting Indian legends of Puget
Sound. Do not think it has been all work and no play, for we have a
banquet at Edens Hall for our honorary member, Miss Sperry, our sponsors
and members. Roll call was answered with after dinner stories and we
anticipate camp fire stories later. The year is drawing to a close and we
feel glad for the exper-ience we have had in telling stories and the joy
we have brought to the children.

days of Aletheia, of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two, that a
maiden of the tribe of Antrim, named Elnora, sat in the seat of the gifted
and sang this song to her maid-ens: When twilight deeps o'er the purpling
Sound And shadows lengthen dark on Sehome hill, A veritable silence
settles deep and near An owl is heard far back within- these woods And
silhouettes stand clear and blacky etched; 149

Klipsun, 1922 - Page 150

And low it calls, for fall has come to us; It calls for maidens of our
Normal school, True maidens, laughing, eager, young, To make their lives
more noble and secure. And so ten maidens heard the lone owl's call And
came to sit together in a room High up, above the classrooms here at
school. And they brought with them other maidens, too, All gifted, till
their circle came to be A dwelling place of thirty happy ones; And with
them came their sponsor, tall and fair Whose name is Crawford, beautiful
and kind. Initiation came and went as planned, Mysterious in all its
secret lore, And Hallowe'en loomed up a golden moon For all the maidens
of Aletheia Came clad in costumes, beautiful to see, With masks that
could not bide their merry eyes. The cafeteria rooms were filled with
leaves And black cats pranced upon the creamy walls, While owls stood
silently and dark And everyone mwae merry with her friends. But these ,lad
maidens did not play all fall. They planned their programs with exceeding
care, So that each land of import could be seen And studied well and e'en
their songs be heard That all should culminate in pageant strong, Written
by the members of the club, And given in Assembly some bright day, To
show them all how other people live. And so the time was quickly passed
and well And low the Owl called from the distant woods, Snow laden,
reaching up their arms, He called the maidens round a radiant tree For it
was Christmas time and hearts were glad. The tree gave up to each a dainty
gift And candy canes were plentiful and large. At last the maidens went
their separate ways And soft the snow came, fluttering to the ground. The
weeks and months soon passed in quickening pace, The programs came to be a
joyful time For much was learned and every country then Meant more to
them for having learned its ways. Soon Spring came gently, in a lilting
way, And all the woods were green and tender- edged; 1.50 I

I ti r . '2 " The Campus had a greener, cleaner look And tulips lightly
pushed their green tops thru. Another time the lone Owl called from out
The secrets of his waiting, silent woods; His call was low but yet the
maidens heard, And so they gathered at the home of one Who is their
sponsor, 'twas St. Valentine's. A dear, sweet maiden, in a cool green
gown, Who wore a sweeping crown of Titian hair, Was honor guest, for she
was soon to go To distant lands to spread the English tongue And live in
truth a calm and noble life. Gordon, Clara Gordon was her name, Once
president of dear Aletheia And honorary member, by the grace of this. The
lights burned low; a story long was told, And all too soon the time was
come to go. The maidens bade farewell with right good cheer And gave to
her the true heart of the club For they were with her in their love and
thoughts. So spring was beautiful to see And all the world was bright
with love and light. These maidens with their sponsor and the others Who
grace Aletheia, honorary members, And who are known to all the school and
us, As Laura McDonald, supervisor here, And Gertrude Longley, of Hawaiian
fame, Went on a week-end trip to a fair lake Called Whateom, hidden deep
among the hills. Glad and gay were the happy hours spent together, And
all the maidens knew these friends the better. Then soon the maidens
closed their club room doors And sought the open space for programs gay;
Delightful were they in their peaceful thought Of Nature and the vaster
open ways. And so it was these maidens lived in peace, All happy, with a
purpose true and fine. When once again the lone Owl made his call, A
vibrant voice, thrilled with the depth of spring, Of misty islands
dropped along the Sound And sunsets deep with color and true life. And
oh, Aletheia, he called to you, L~ I

Alk sta (lub In Volume I, No. 1, of the Messenger, published in 1899, we
find the first record of our club's existence. At that time it was called
the "Alcott" club of the Whatcom Normal School, and had as its aim
practice in public speaking. Miss Ida Agnes Baker was the club critic. In
1906, the club then being seven years old, the memnbers decided to adopt a
more mature name. At the suggestion of Mr. Forest, the name "Alkisiah" was
chosen, this being an Indian name expressing the club's motto, "In the
Near Future." And to the "Alcott" aim was added that of altruistic service
and opportunity for the study of questions of the day. Miss Baker continued
as the beloved sponsor of the club until her sudden death, January 29,
1921. In 1917, the Alkisiah club joined the National Federation of
Women's Clubs, and is the only club in the school so affiliated. It has
always stood for the very best literary programs and this stand-ard was
surely upheld this year. During tfie first two quarters we studied the
question of "Philippine Independence." Two interesting debates were held,
several papers given and these papers and pro-r --- i~k
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 154

grams were of much benefit and helpfulness to the club. During the last
quarter the club took up the topic "See America First" and several
interesting meetings were held. These programs were al-ways followed by
lively social get-to-gethers in which club songs were sung and each
memiber became better acquainted with the other members of the club. One
of the most interesting meetings was the one in which the Alkisiah "Round
Robin" was read. This Round Robin is composed of letters from about thirty
alumni Alkisiahs. One of the achievements of the year was the fitting up
of the Alkisiah room in the new hospital. This room is being furnished in
memory of Miss Baker. The annual bulb sale was held just before Christmas.
This is a beautiful custom of the club. The bulbs are planted in the fall
by the girls and sold just before the Christmas holidays. Among our
social affairs for the year were parties and the an- nual banquet. The
banquet was held on February eleventh at the Hotel Leopold. Besides the
present club members and faculty ad-visers there were many alumni
Alkisiahs present. An interesting program was enjoyed. At this time an
auxiliary was formed com-posed of married alumni members of the club
living in Bellingham. Of the parties of the year two are worthy of special
mention. First, the initiation party, given last fall when about
twenty-five active members and three honorary members underwent the
terrors of initiation and were taken into the mysteries of the club; and
teh afternoon spent at the home of Miss Moffat when the girls sewed on
the curtains for the room in the hospital. That friendly afternoon, spent
sewing around the fireplace and chatting over the tea-cups, will ever be a
happy memory to the girls who were there. Much of the success of the club
this year is due to Miss Moffat, its sponsor, who by her
whole-heartedness, her helpful earnest ways, and her work with the club
has helped to make it what it is and has , endeared herself to every
member. Truly, it might well be said of her, "To know her is to love
her." ASSB SPEA 154

Although late in organizing, there were as many candidates for membership
as the rules of the school allow. The purpose of the club, as stated in
the constitution, is to secure practice in debate, parliamentary drill,
and literary skill. This has been kept beforer the club as the chief
business, and many interesting and instructive programs have been given.
Probably the best of these was the debate on the Thirty-Ten plan. Another
enjoyable program; was a symposium of original stories and poems, which
brought out much real literary skill. Among the social events two stand out
as most prominent. One was the Christmas party at the home of Olive
Pearson. The other was the banquet at the Hotel Leopold. This is to be

craining rlknu 164 I I The Training School is so big and so busy that it
cannot be confined to a few pages. Each department, in fact, each phase of
the work, is worthy of a longer article than this. There are, however, two
phases of the work of the school which have been developed this year and
are unusually interesting. They are the allied organizations of the Junior
High School and the standardized testing which is carried out so fully
here. There is, or used to be, a rather wide spread impression that the
Training School is a sort of reform school; that its standards, because of
the supposed presence of sub-normal children, were somiewhat low; that
inexperienced teaching and frequent change in teaching was detrimental to
the progress of the pupils. This is not true. Every class in the Training
School was given the same standardized tests as the corresponding classes
in the city schools. The testing was carried out three times during the
year. Each time the average rating was above the normal rating. The
Training School pupils are a group of well-taught, normal children.
Convinced that the pupils are getting the essentials and more in their
school work, the Training School people have found time for considerable
outside work in developing organizations. In the Junior High School there
are five regular clubs, the Dramatic Club, the Boys' Club, the Camp Fire
Girls, the Orchestra, and the Handicraft Club. Each club meets regularly on
Friday afternoon. No duplication is permitted in membership. The Boys'
Club was organized, as they express it in their consti-tution, "for the
promotion of athletics and for practice in debate and parliamentary
drill." Not only has this aim been accomplished, but a splendid spirit of
good-fellowship and co-operation has been evolved. The club has been under
the leadership of a Normal student and a splendid enthusiasm for the work
is in evidence. The Handicraft Club is a girls' organization. During the
meet-ings the girls sew and chat and read. The beauty and dignity of
use-ful work is learned unconsciously in this club's activities. The
Training School Orchestra is another club. The members have practiced
hard and faithfully and their work has been rewarded by success. They play
at the regular assemblies and at the programs given by the various clubs.
The Camp Fire Girls' Club is an interesting organization. The name of the
Training School Chapter is Chap-pah-wee. The symbol is the beaver. Their
ideals and aims are expressed in the Law of the Fire. "Seek beauty. Give
service. Pursue knowledge. Be trust-worthy. Hold on to health. Glorify
work. Be happy." The girls have enjoyed numerous hikes, have taken part in
ceremonials and have appeared in two public programs. They were active in
organiz-ing an out-of-town chapter, and in making their club a success. I
-----------
Klipsun, 1922 - Page 165
----------
The work of the Dramatic Club has been especially interesting, original
and worth while. Besides studying several children's plays, they wrote and
produced a play called the "Witches' Stew." This play was begun with only
a name and developed into a charming drama in which every member of the
club took part. The play was written by many committees, each committee
handling a special situation and submitting its work for the approval of
the club. The work of these clubs for the year culminated in a public
pro-gram on April 21, 1922, at which they cleared $45.00. The following
program was presented: Camp Fire Girls' Ceremonial Orchestra The Witches'
Stew .....................W....r.i.t.t.e. ni by the Dramalic Club

'I Au I nvir MARY B. EGBERT With joy we hail this glad new day, the goal
of vict'ry won, The sweet reward of days of toil, of plans and lessons
done; But while this inner joy doth thrill like April winds that blow,
Our hearts with deep emotion swell and eyes with tears o'erflows: For we
must part from those we- love, must sever friendships dear, And leave the
scenes of old Sehome with all it's grandeur near. We've bravely met each
task assigned and learned the joy of toil, Increased our talents great and
small to keep each gift from spoil; And while. old problems now are past
with all their lessons dear, We turn with zest to meet the new without a
thought of fear. With courage pure, undaunted, strong, we leave this
sheltered place With hope to hear, "Well done" at last when we have won
the race. And now, dear friends and schoolmates all, we make our last
farewell ; The hour has come when we must part, when we our love must
tell, For never more can all return unbroken as today, When once we've
passed this treasured hour to make our onward way. So here's to you dear
friends, our love and wishes fond and true, In hope and prayer for your
success and for our White and Blue! K Refrain : Farewell to Happy Normal
days on dear old Sehome hill, Long may they live in memory aye, our hearts
to warm and thrill. t 166

................... . .................P. rofe sor Bahr On the evening of
March second the Junior Play was presented to a packed house. It was a
dramatization of Louisa M. Alcott's ever-popular story "Litle Women."
Under the able direction of Mr. Hoppe each member of the cast excelled
himself. Every character of the story seemed to have come to life before
the eyes of the delighted audience. From the moment the curtain arose and
tomboy Jo grumbled from the hearth rug, until it fell on the picture of
this self same Jo and her professor lover, every spectator was held
spellbound. The play ran all the gamut from laughter to tears. Beginning
with the March's Christmas Play the audience had no chance to lose
interest. Amy's long words and Jo's boyish ways won their share of
applause. Aunt March was the very irate, harsh old lady to be ex-pected.
Meg and her John, not to mention the twins, were as domes-tic a family as
could be wished. Laurie, with his pranks and his boyish affection, woed
and won pretty Amy to everyone's delight. The death of gentle Beth brought
the audience to tears. Hannah was as Irish as could be desired. Mr.
Lawrence was a kindly old man. Mr. and Mrs. March, gentle and brave in
their sorrow, were well portrayed. The benignant Professor, and his
Schuler and his benev-olence courted Jo in absurd and delightful fashion.
In short, it was just such a play as everyone longs to see, but seldom,
does. The advertising manager, Mr. Blaney, and the business manager, Mr.
Caulkins, deserve credit for the work that brought out the huge audience.
Mr. Hoppe, and every member of the cast, received full appreciation of the
work which made each part so life-like and de-lightful. Altogether there
is only one regret to be expressed-and that is that the play is past. 169

The play chosen was "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," by Jerome K.
Jerome. It deals with the life in a London lodging house. The characters
are sordid, selfish, and deceitful until the Stranger rents the third
floor back. He believes in the good hidden in each petty grasping soul. By
his faith the Better Self develops. The surly, cheating lodging house
keeper, Mrs. Sharpe, proves to be a kindly lady. The overworked drudge,
Stasia, shows a sweet, childish nature. Miss Kite, the simpering coquette
of forty, develops into a charming friend. Mrs. Percival De Hooley, who is
so proud of her famous relatives, turns to help her distressed sister. Joe
Wright, book-maker and cheap spor, , gives up the woman he loves. Vivian
Tomp-kins decides that money does not buy everything, so she marries the
poor artist. Christopher Penny returns to his art and his ideals. Harry
Larkim decides he cannot afford to give the best of his talent. Major and
Mrs. Tompkins cease bickering and revive the affection that had been. Jabe
Samuels realizes that he must not disgrace the Jewish race, so he throws
aside his dishonest schemes. Having ac-complished all this, the Stranger
leaves, for he has other work to do and may not tarry. Nis dog"Thre Th

OLIVER INGERSOLL HELEN ALLMAIN (Alternate) MARGARET SPAIGHT PEARL
STOUGHTON Negative eram The negative team faced the Cheney affirmative
team at Belling-ham, on March 31. The team, under Mr. Hoppe and Mr.
Rahskopf, had produced a very plausible and logical argument. The position
of the team rested on the promise contained in the Jones Bill, that
independence should not be granted until the United States was cer-tain
that the people of the Philippine Islands could maintain stable
government. The debaters brot forth a mass of facts to prove that the
United States was not certain; that the Filipinos were not able to conduct
a stable government. Miss Stoughton, the first negative speaker, opened
the negative side and laid the foundation for the ar-gument of her team.
Miss Spaight brot a wealth of material to show Ihe lack of capabilities of
the Filipino people. Oliver Ingersoll summed up the position of his
colleagues and concluded the argument of the negative team. The team
offered a lively and able defense of their position and an attack on the
arguments of the opposing team. In spite of the eloquent efforts of the
Bellingham debaters, the decision was three to nothing, in favor of the
Cheney team. The school owes a great deal of credit to the coaches, Mr.
Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf, to the two teams and to to the alternates for the
hard work expended on the debate. 172

MASON HATLL INGA BENTSON NORMA ROKES IRENE GOSS (Alternate) Affirmative U
ram The question for debate was: "Resolved, that the people of the
Philippine Islands should be independent by 1930." The Affirmative team,
accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, left Bellingham on March 30, for Ellensburg.
There they met the Ellensburg negative team. The affirmative team based
their argument upon the statistics of the Wood-Forbes Report and the
government reports from the Islands. They offered proof of the
improvements in the Philippines since the passage of the Jones Bill, which
authorized the Filipinization of the government. Miss Rokes was the first
speaker. She opened the argu-ment and ably prepared the way for her
colleagues. The second speaker, Inga Benson, took up the improvements in
the Islands under Filipinos. Mason Hall, the third speaker, concluded the
argument and summarized the affirmative position. Mr. Hall likewise made a
spirited attack on the Wood-Forbes Report and the definition of stable
government it maintains. The debate at Ellensburg was a close and intense
contest. The Ellensburg students displayed much school spirit and
sportsmanship. When the decision was announced it was found that
Bellingham had lost two to one. 173 1 '

of the West, The school by all nature so wondrously blest, The gateway to
wisdom, enriching the mind, The pathway to service in love for mankind.
It's here on old Sehome I pause 'nealh the trees, With heart all atune to
each murmuring breeze, I find in seclusion a calm in my soul, And forth
to life's battle, press on to the goal. The song of the wild bird, the hum
of the bee, The white foaming billows that play on the sea, The fragrance
of spring time, the cool summer day, The gold of the twilight in fond
mem;'ry stay. So here's to our Normal, :he Pride of the West, The
crowning of brave men who honor the best, The fame of the Noble, the Pure
and the True, With love for their banner, the White and the Blue. K K (l

over the dark green, restless bay; They pause not, swerve not, in their
way, Those hurrying, restless clouds of grey. Between them patches of
bluest skies, Where the gulls flash, with screeching cry. Mere spots of
black, sailing up on high And above them, patches of bluest skies. Great
waves bea:ing and breaking, Caressing the rocks, them forsaking; Each
wave the other o'ertaking, Just great waves, beating and breaking. As
great masses of hurrying clouds of grey Blow over the dark green, restless
bay, And pause not, swerve not, in their way Those hurrying, restless
clouds of grey. 174

Art oteas "The highest aim of art is to make some useful thing beautiful.
We must teach, not art for art's sake, but art for life's sake." This is
the ideal toward which Miss Druse and her associates in the art department
are working so earnestly and so successfully. They feel that art must
comle down from the pinnacle where it has stood lonely for so long; that
it should be, and is, the most demo-cratic mode of self-expression. Our
"art people" have passed this ideal on to more than a thousand students
during the busy year of 1921-22. The department has been crowded to
capacity and even to overflowing; indeed, as much ingenuity has been used
in finding elbow-space for "just one more" as is at the disposal of even
art teachers. Such volumes of interesting, clever and beautiful things
were produced this year that during the sprin exhibit, the department was
a veritable fairyland of color and beauty. Thoughtful and striking posters
spoke from the walls.. Cut paper flowers rioted over windows and doors.
Charming landscapes and convincing sketches were every-where. Graceful
bits of basketry peeped from every nook and corner. Truly, it was a
wonderful exhibit, one that represented a whole year of hard work, care
and thought. Not even with this did the activities of the art people
cease. They published a beautifully illustrated art bulletin, containing
many help-ful suggestions for teaching art in the grades. The things we
have learned in Art are the kind that will carry over into our teaching.
Thanks to Miss Druse, Miss Johnson and Miss Landis, we shall know just
what to do with fidgety little Tessie Smith. They have taught us that
Johnny Jones may be, not a bad boy, but an artist. BIASEBJLbL PIERIAL
