PAUL RULE GLADYS JONES MILDRED RICHARDS DR. IRVING MILLER PRESIDENT VICE-
PRESIDENT SECREi-ARY-TREASURER ADVISOR Jurior-5 ior C2of epz Can you
picture a Viking not brave, fearless, whole-hearted, and loyal? Or one not
venturesome, inquisitive, and explorative? We, Junior and Senior Vikings,
have seen the distant headland and are fascinated. (We must stay with the
ship and see it through). The only regret that we, who have already waded
ashore, can possibly entertain is that our fleet did not include that new
ship, the library. Contrary to all expectations, the 1926-27 Junior-Senior
group was larger than that of the preceding year. When the 1926
legislature refused, or neglected, to empower the Normal School to grant a
degree in education, it was predicted that the Junior-Senior-College group
would become but a matter of history. However, the outlook for the future
is now very bright. Better relationships have been es-tablished with the
University of Washington whereby fourth year Normal graduates are enabled
to secure a master's degree in education with but four quarters'
addi-tional work. The third-year work has been especially strengthened and
standardized during the past year and will soon be taken at par. During
1925 and 1926, there were no fourth-year graduates. This year there have
been between 40 and 50 of them. We are confidently looking forward to a
much larger junior-senior registration for the coming fall. Though hard
hit the previous year, the Junior-Senior College reorganized and got well
under way by the winter quarter. This group proved to be of a most
con-genial nature. It was unique in that its members, though coming from
widely di-vergent sections, had a community of interests. We all had the
experience of going through the same training school. Many had taught a
considerable number of years, a number had attended various other
educational institutions and all were deeply interested in the problems of
education. We cannot but regret that as the numbers grow from year to year
that intimate relationship may decrease. EDWARD MCCULLOUGH VALENTINE

HANKINS YOUNGBLUTH ILES WEYTHMAN ' .,e 5op oniores As the school year of
1927 draws to a close it sees for the last time many worthy friends and
familiar faces, students who have carried the bulk of the student
administration through both their first and second years and are now
departing. This class entered the portals of the Bellingham State Normal
School in the fall of 1926 not only to learn the merits of school life
that would enable it to uphold the standards of this institution but also
to safely guide it on through the years of life. While it was still the
freshman class it was not only able to show its ability in being foremost
from the scholastic standpoint, but was also in the limelight along the
lines of athletics as well as presenting by far the best times to be had
at its class parties and dances which affairs although they were not all,
were a part of the school life. This class carried off the honors for
football, basketball, and tennis with such men as Shelton, Keplinger,
Reed, Odell, Gray, and others to represent us. The girls of this class
were also prominent in many activities some of them being athletics in
which the freshman girls won in volley ball and hockey from the
sophomores. Many pleasant memories fill the minds of this class when
recalling events and happenings of the year 1926 at Bellingham State
Normal School. Again in the fall of 1927 this same class met and
re-established friends and acquaintances for the year ending June, 1927,
at which time all would separate and go each in his own direction heading
for a certain pursuit. One of the first ac-complishments of this class
was to call a business meeting and elect officers to carry them safely
through this their last year of normal school training. As a result of
this meeting the following were selected by the class to represent them in
all their undertakings: Bryan Hankins, president; Lucille Youngbluth,
vice-president; Eleanor Iles, secretary and treasurer. Many honors were
bestowed upon this clas due to its fame in school athletics and other
activities. Mainly sophomores comprised the basketball team which brought
home to us the good news of our victory over the other state normals in
basketball. In the fall quarter of 1927 a dance was sponsored by the
sophomores; this was held in the big gym and the decorations were symbolic
of a ship's deck. In the winter quarter another dance was held; at this
affair the big gym was transformed into a street in Greenwich Village.
With such a setting many artists, clad in smocks and tams were seen
enjoying the evening of February 25th, 1927. Through the ardent efforts
and leadership of Miss Weythman, our worthy adviser, and Phil Sisk the
party was a success. Sophomores were also winners in the Extempore Speech
Contest, so taking into consideration all these honors surely the class of
1927 is bound to ccme out on top and be victorious in whatever it may
attempt to conquer. Twenty

ROY ARNETT MADELINE BOSSHARD CARRIE TUCKER RAY SEELEY BERTHA KELLER
PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREASURER ADVISOR YO FROSH! By KEN
SMITH Yo Frosh! Ya Frosh! Yo-Ya-Frosh! Starting with their big fall
quarter party, the class of 1928 proceeded to show the world what the
snappiest class that ever attended Bellingham Normal was like. The party
was a huge success as was also the big Winter Carnival held in January.
Madeline Bosshard, Queen of the Carnival, graced the ballroom in a
dazzling creation of white chiffon trimmed with ermine. Many talented and
popular members have the Freshmen contributed to the student body. Among
those with literary ability are June Wetherell and Chester Chatfield. To
athletics, the women of the class have contributed Golda Abel, Carrie
Tucker, Pearl Pruden, and many others. The men have "Occie" Thorsen, "Ted"
Clark, Dean Edmundson, Russ Seymour, Forrest Jensen, Art Isaacson, Donald
Stickney, and many other stars. For committee workers and officers much
credit must be given to the following: Golda Abel, Reginald. McKee, Jack
Kellogg, Harold Houlton, Dorothy McCool, Beth Coughlan, Carrie Tucker, Roy
Arnett, Ray Seeley, and Madeline Bosshard. We wish to take this
opportunity to thank Miss Keller, our adviser, for all that she has done
in our behalf. Much of the success of a class is due to its adviser. The
class of 1928 has been one of the most prosperous and successful classes
in the history of the school. Coming from farms, cities, small towns, and
rural districts, we were as green as grass when we registered as Freshmen.
We are now worldly wise, and hardship-toughened Sophomores. Just watch us
go! Forty-eight __

kSSociafte 5tubenitr The Board of Control of the Associated g Student
Body of the Bellingham State Normal School held its first meeting of the
school year on October 4th, 1926, with the following members present:
President, George Allez; Vice-President, Kirvin Smith; Student
Representatives, Grace Jacobson, Estelle Martinsen, and Don Patterson;
Faculty Representatives, Miss Kathleen Skalley and E. J. Arntzen;
Secretary, Robert Wagner. Miss Kathleen Skalley, elected by the Student
Body to take the place of E. A. Bond who was absent on a vacation, served
on the Board for the fall and part of the winter quarter. Among the many
social affairs sponsored by the Associated Student Body this year, perhaps
the most outstanding were those associated with the Annual Homecoming
Week during the fall GEORGE C. ALLEZ quarter. Much credit is due Estelle
Martinson, PRESIDENT chairman of the Homecoming committee, for the
efficient way in which these were handled. Elsa Pearl was elected as
student representative at the end of the fall quarter to take the place of
Grace Jacobson, whose term had expired. During the year many problems
arose coincident with the elimination from the State Normal School
curriculum of the one-year course. The need was also felt for the
centralization of all student activities under the Board of Control with
the object of closer cooperation and better service to the student body.
This policy has been consistently adhered to by the Board of Control
during the year. BOARD OF CONTROL ALLEZ WAGNER SMITH ARNTZEN PATTERSON

ARESTAD FOWLER HANKINS EDITOR ADVISOR MANAGER C a C8eeff Y e eScjSer
With Sverre Arestad as editor, and Bryan Hankins as business manager, the
Weekly Messenger has proved itself a well-organized and highly efficient
organi-zation, having made considerable progress during the winter and
spring quarters. Through consistent effort the columns have been put on a
higher level than ever before. Of special interest to the students was the
series of articles written by George Allez, student-body president,
concerning various organizations and all-school activities. During the
winter quarter the Messenger staff promoted the organization of a group of
aspiring writers into what is known as the Scribes' Club and made plans
for the publication of a club magazine to be issued as a quarterly
supplement to the Messenger. The Messenger also conducted a literary
contest, and planned for a permanent contest to be held annually, with
pins as awards. Perhaps one of the best comments that can be made on the
school newspaper is the fact that throughout the year it has served its
purpose well. It has been a record of student activity and has been of
interest to the entire student body. Mr. Fowler has acted as adviser.

The "Scribes' Club" launched something quite new in the history of the
Normal School when they published the first number of the "Red Arrow" the
last week of the winter quarter. The ."Red Arrow" was a magazine devoted
to the literary interests of the Normal students, and contained poems,
essays, short stories, representative of the literary talent of the
student body. Many of the writings had been entered in the literary prose
and poetry contests of the Scribes' Club. In the winter quarter's
magazine, of which Victorio Velasco was editor, ap-peared a poem of the
world-famous traveler and lecturer, Tom Skeyhill. There was also an
interview of Carl Sandburg, who had addressed the Normal student body
during the quarter. These truly "professional touches" added a great deal
to the success of the magazine. The publication served a two-fold
purpose. It was not only of interest to the readers, but was also a means
of expression of Normal students interested in jour-nalism which
heretofore had never been available. With such a successful beginning it
seems quite probable, since it is planned to be a quarterly publication,
that the "Red Arrow" will continue to live up to the high standards set by
its first authors. Y'Rormal5f ab A recreation center for the students of
the Bellingham State Normal School has long been the dream of the student
body. To fulfil that dream the territory known as Normalstad, with a
forty-acre frontage on Lake Whatcom, was purchased several years ago and
plans have been made for one large lodge for all- school activities, with
smaller cottages for various clubs. Locations have been selected for a
baseball diamond, a hockey field, and for tennis courts. On the lake,
directly in front of Normalstad, there is a one- mile course ad-mirably
suited for boat races. The Northern Pacific railroad track is parallel to
this straightaway, making it possible for observation cars to follow the
races. Doubtless regattas will be held in future years. By means of
all-school picnics and campus days the students in past years have cleared
a portion of the land, and have built a substantial wharf. The old road
has also been developed until it is now possible to drive a light car up to
the very front door of Normalstad during dry weather. With the help of
Geneva township it is hoped that the road will be further improved this
year. Perhaps in the not-too-far future it will be possible to begin work
on the main lodge, so that the dream of Normalstad will be realized.

In spite of superstition, Friday is probably the most popular day at
Nor-mal. Not only does it precede the freedom of the week-end, but every
Friday between the hours of four and five the students are drawn
irresistibly towards the "Big Gym" by the gay music from "Frannie"
Wilcox's jazz orchestra. Here they may enjoy the pleasures of "Recreation
Hour," leaving far behind the cares of the workaday world. The "Rec" Hour
committee has the gym and the music all ready for them and is waiting at
the door to scan their student activities tickets. The success of "Rec
Hour" has been well proved by the large numbers of stu-dents who attend
this weekly festival. It will probably go down in history as one of the
most popular traditions of the Bellingham State Normal School. The

uget 6ou#) iofo icaf fafioy Near Friday Harbor, Wash., the county seat of
the picturesque San Juan County, is located the Puget Sound Biological
Station where science courses in the field and in the laboratory are
conducted during the summer quarter. The Normal School is co-operating
with the University of Washington in offering two courses here, one in
plant biology and one in animal biology. The Friday Harbor region was
selected for biological study because of the especial abundance of both
fauna and flora in that region; hence it is possible for class work to be
conducted in the field as well as in the laboratories. The Normal classes
make a study of the important facts concerning structure, physiology,
classification, and environmental conditions of plant and animal life. The
primary aim of these courses is to give the student an active interest in
the out-of-doors, and at the same time to equip teachers with those
materials which will be of use to them in nature study work. Life at the
Station is generally a busy but simple one. There are forenoon and
afternoon classes in the laboratory or on the seashore. The student is
given an opportunity to pursue knowledge in an almost ideal situation,
unhampered by the usual school-day difficulties. Everyone sleeps soundly
and arises regularly, eating three meals a day (oh, yes you will-even the
fussy ones do-) hiking, rowing and leading an invigorating outdoor life.
It is quite a common phenomenon for "thin" people to leave the Station at
the end of the nine weeks' term, not only with increased knowledge of
facts and methods of application, but also with increased weight,
appetite, vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. A spirit of good fellowship prevails
among the students, who range in age and experience from youthful high
school graduates to university professors, and are representative of
numerous states, schools, countries, and ideas. Professor Newman, himself,
the author of the textbook used in the science and civilization courses,
was enrolled at the Biological Station a few summers ago. And think of
sitting across the table from an internationally known scientist and
naturalist like Professor Kincaid! In spite of all these opportunities for
physical and social development, the station is not a summer resort. These
desirable features only add to the general capacity for work, and the work
itself is the joy as well as the purpose of the Station. Fifty-eight

Aount_ Taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity for outdoor study
that its location offers, our growing Normal-by-the-Sea reached into the
heart of the mountains and during a session of five weeks, Professor
Robert Landon conducted class work under the brow of Mt. Baker with
Kulshan Cabin as headquarters. Each Saturday brought a new group of
enthusiastic students who had received their initiation into the great
mountain's mysteries by a thirty-six mile drive to the town of Glacier and
a ten- mile hike through the forested foothills. Each day brought such
novel experiences to these "tenderfeet" that the week of varied activities
passed too rapidly to satisfy the hunger for the great outdoors fostered by
the program of activities. The early morning hours brought a group
downstairs to prepare breakfast and put up lunches for the day. Then,
refreshed by the crisp mountain ozone and a hearty breakfast, carrying
lunches and notebooks, the class went on a field trip every day. Each
trip included problems of special significance and study where the student
came in contact with various phases of nature, where dynamic processes
involving great cyclic changes revealed themselves first hand to the
prospective teacher and where she obtained knowledge and experiences of
untold value in her chosen field. On these trips the class observed the
mountain strams as they first trickled from the flanks of melting snow
banks and later as huge torrents carrying boulders and rock flour, hewing
their way through walls of sheer rock; they observed living glaciers
growing on the sides of the mountains, the birth of valleys, and the
disappearance of a vast peneplain. They traveled through a mountain meadow
and forest, over naked rock and glittering snowfields. During the middle
of the afternoon the class returned to the cabin. A hurried bath in one of
the numerous mountain streams nearby, a few moments of rest, opportunity
for reading and study, and then the call to supper! The evenings were
devoted to lectures, class discussion, and map work. Singing and
story-telling around the huge fireplace completed the day, and at
ten-thirty all was quiet. THE CABIN Fiftty-nine _ ___ ___ __ _ _ _ I _

ALL-SCHOOL MIXER-SEPT. 27 "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo ho ho-"
Now for a good time. With bloody pirates hoisted on the Viking galleon
leading the line, not with knives and daggers, but with "sax" and
trombone, the all-school mixer started eight hundred students on a fair
voyage for a good year at Bellingham Normal. It was exciting discovering
who was who in the get-acquainted games-and to find out that names do mean
something-sometimes if they are attached to the right person and you are a
thousand miles from home. The revelry moved now tempo rubato. The Pirates,
the bad, glad pirates had come with instruments of witchery. Heels
twinkled! And the dance was on! Feature dances vied with the punch bowl
for attention. Too soon the Pirates were playing the last waltz. A little
ceremony occurred when all had gone. Shall I tell you? Very quietly the
Blue and the White, guardians of hosts of memories, opened the door for a
slender young memory to come home-the memory of the first all-student mixer
of 1926-7. Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION-OCT. 1 The years do slip by! But each
fall, marking a pause in the whirl, comes the Y. W. C. A. reception. It
brings much of value in the way of tradition, but of more worth is the
prevalence of good fellowship and kindliness at this time. The reception
was given at Edens Hall this year. The shaded lights, low chairs before
the fireplace, and the fine hospitality of the hostesses caused many new
students to drop their cloaks of shyness. The program of music and dramatic
readings, which formed the major portion of the evening's entertainment,
was of unusually high merit. KID PARTY-OCT. 2 Some one found a wishing
ring! A sparkling, gem-set wishing ring! which, if you turn to the East,
where the sun cones up, you will be whisked into the land of Tomorrow. If
you turn it to the West, where the sun goes down, you may open the door to
Yesterday. A very small person shut her eyes, wished very hard, and turned
the ring to the West! The door to yesterday flew open and out tumbled
little girls and little girls! Tomboys and pirates, swarthy and bold;
Pollyanna with smiles enough for even the very cold! Why? Must I tell?
Very well I shall then-but you'll never know, never know, even then. Each
year, shortly after the opening of school, the Women's League in an effort
to create opportunities for the formation of new friendships holds a party
for all disciples of Peter Pan. The only requisite is that you go down the
road to Yesterday, find the little girl you were once upon a time, and
bring her to the party. Sixty __ __ _ ___

WOMEN'S LEAGUE TEA-OCT. 27 "Lit candles in a casement ope at night
Starring the dusk in Babylon"- And lit candles in the reception room at
Edens Hall shining in the October twilight. "At candlelight" is a very
special time of day. So many things happen while tall tapers burn. Friends
could come and go-as they did, although leaving with reluctance. For, if
the candles failed in invitation, the music was irresistible. This first
tea of the year, sponsored by the Women's League and occurring at Edens
Hall, was unique. One doesn't always have tea at candlelight and the
novelty of the affair added to its attractiveness. A dance interpretation
in delicate music, by three members of the Women's League, was the final
number of the program. EDENS HALL INFORMAL-NOV. 4 "Si Senor,"-the rose in
her hair even nodded assent. And the black lace mantilla caught like a
wisp of wind on her carved comb echoed the reply. Then-his low answer,
"Muchas gracias, Senorita"--and they whirled away in a gay Spanish dance.
At this informal given by the girls of Edens Hall the care-free spirit of
old Spain was cunningly introduced. The hall might have been a replica of
a dancing square in Barcelona. Much finesse is required to create a
situation of this kind with the congruent atmosphere, but it was
excellently done by the girls of Edens Hall. HOMECOMING-NOV 5-6 "Oh at
last, when you return from the three Pa districts, Send me a message home
ahead! And I will come and meet you and never mind the distance, All the
long way to Ch'and--sha!" -Li Po. We don't mind the distance, do we? Not
when we are coming back to the Normal-by-the-Sea. There were two hundred
and fifty alumni who came back this year. I think they scarcely realized
they were back until about six-thirty Friday night when a polychromatic
noise came hurdling across the campus! Yoh! Vikings! Yoh! Vikings. The
serpentine and bonfire next in line were cocktails for the game Saturday.
And were we-ah-"pepped up ?" Rather! Was there any one who didn't become
inflamed at the judiciary talent displayed by the Thespians? Registration
hours (I'll wager that amused them, standing in line again for
registration) were from ten to twelve Saturday morning. Then luncheon at
Edens Hall. Right royal entertainment they were given when various clubs
presented musical artists and displayed their best actors. The game was at
two o'clock. Pennants, color, football booklets, and fresh-men who had
been making spectacular yard-runs for an hour. A yard was the limit! You
couldn't get any farther. You were always interrupted in the midst of a
dash with, "Well, well, well- when did you get back?" How easily the game
seemed to progress ! There couldn't have been any other outcome.

A banquet for the football men and the alumni was given at Edens Hall after
the game. From here our guests went to the armory where the mixer was
under way. We marvelled at the amazing self-control of the football men.
Although there were footballs everywhere around the hall, only once did we
see a quarter-back caress the brown leather oval ball and murmur
reminiscently 74-64-44! We wished "homecoming" would come oftener, when
our alumni paused on the way down the steps and called back, "Thanks! So
fine a time! Good-night." FRESHMAN MIXER-NOV. 19 The colors shifted like
blossoms on a screen in old China. Across the hall came the tinkling
laughter of milady as she pointed her silver slipper in the dance. Such
gaiety! It all began in the auditorium when the curtains parted for the
vaudeville frolic of pantomimes and music which preceded the annual
Freshman dance in the main "gym." Music, teasingly provocative, sifted
through the ap-plause of the last curtain call and poised in graceful
invitation, pointed the way to the hall. Here Neva Cays and John Kerr
proved most adroit in the measured movements of the feature dance and won
the prize from twelve competitors. The success of this first freshman
frolic might be measured by the words of a sleepy little co-ed as she
tumbled, yawning, into bed, "Oh- such a good time!" WOMEN'S LEAGUE
INFORMAL-NOV. 20 Gay parasols! gay laughter and the swift movement of
color through the rooms. All were found at this first informal dance of
the year given by the Women's League at Edens Hall. Lanterns were
clustered like flowers here and there in unexpected places. But you
weren't surprised! Only once! You were standing by a very poised young
person who slowly waved her fan before her exquisite face-and you caught a
fragrance of cherry blossoms. Remember? Then you were startled and
wondered if you had been whisked away to Japan in a wink of time. A
moonlight waltz followed by a Japanese feature dance increased the
enchantment. Listen! Were those temple bells? Were they? Only this I know!
That night, caught fast in rubric, was placed between the dark covers of
many a "Hymn" book! MEN'S CLUB AND WOMEN'S LEAGUE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT
EDENS HALL-DEC. 15 Most of all I remember the tree! Was there ever such a
Christmas tree? Not very many lights ! No-there weren't many lights-even
in Bethlehem a long time ago. Except one in the sky and one that we have
always since that night. But the tree! Poised, secretive, holding its
branches very still lest they dance in all their silver! I wondered if it
might be waiting for some one! Some one rather round and jolly, you know!
Oh, of course! Santa Claus! We entertained him for awhile. Some
jolly-fol-de-rol, club stunts and carols. He rather liked it, I think.
Else why were there so many packages under the tree when he left? La! the
excitement then when the gay parcels were opened. Shouts of laughter and
gasps of surprise. I had to go then, but you remember the rest- Sixty-two

ALL SCHOOL TEA The all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League and the
Men's Club was the first social event of the winter quarter. A varied
program of music and drama-tic readings lent charm to the occasion. Such
events are always apropos at the begining of a term. Especially is this
true in our school where an ever-changing student body demands new
acquaintances each quarter. .OREGON CLUB DANCE A cantata of color stirred
by the radiation of music from a garden enclosure was our first impression
of the Oregon Club dance. The dark shining leaves of the Oregon grape
about the room seemed only shadows cast by the light slipping through
moth-green streamers. Was the Spanish dancer in a black and silver dress
only a shadow, too? We don't know-only we felt a certain ecstasy as she
went pirouetting down the room. Another color was added by the moonlight
waltz. The web-foot insignia of the state of Oregon was represented by
fat, happy ducks, who, unhampered by paper bodies, made complacent
attempts to walk along the wall. Programs made of green and white "O's"
harmonized with the decorative scheme. The smooth procedure of the entire
affair was indicative of a well-organized, uniquely planned dance. OUTSIDE
INFORMAL-FEBRUARY 12 He had a ruffle of lace at his throat and she had a
dimple in her chin and wore a pink satin gown with a ribbon of silver over
her shoulder. Slippers were pointed in the graceful movement of the
minuet as the dancers moved now fast, now slow, with gentle dignity. Of
such quality was the feature at the informal dance given by the girls who
live outside of Edens Hall. The theme in decorations and program was
colonial. There were Lexington, Concord, and other cities made famous by
Paul Revere's midnight ride. The moon-light waltz opened the door to a
scene in an old Southern garden where the night sweetly fragrant with
magnolia blossoms turned ever dignified colonial ladies into witches. St.
Valentine, that best old guardian of double hearts, was among those
present-perhaps we dreamed it, but did he say, leaning close to the gay
revelry, "Benedicite ?" FRESHMAN WINTER CARNIVAL Some time, in the winter
time when you are tired of so many things, take a look at the delicate
frost fronds a jolly artist has painted on your window over night. The
Freshman created a miniature kingdom of Iceland at their carnival early in
the winter quarter. There was the queen of all this whiteness, graciously
pre-siding with her lords and ladies in waiting; music, too, sifting like
a wind-blown cry through glistening icicles. A Russian dance recalled the
ice-bound Neva with the colors of sunset playing over its surface. The
bags of confetti were really only jagged bits of prisms that had caught a
little of the summer sun and stored it away for just such a winter scene.
Several favor dances magnetized attention and before we knew it the last
waltz was being played. Sorry to go-it was all so very novel and
beautiful-but glad of the calibre of a freshman class that could present
such a finished production. Sixty-three

GREENWICH VILLAGE BALL-FEBRUARY 25 Street cries, flying color, and roguish
music teasing our toes. Or if you'd rather -- whirls of laughter and
open-eyed marvelling at the talent of the artist in the rakish studio. And
the lamp posts! We went into a corner and began to question ourselves. For
you know other lamp-posts aren't as these were-and when one is accustomed
to moral lamp posts!-don't you see? We grew a dark suspicion about those
stars, too. They were so bold, so very bold for stars. So many artists did
we see, painting pictures. Oh not on canvas! These were very prosperous
Bohemians in this Greenwich Village with their smart tams. (Bohemians are
the only people in the world who would think of "duesday" as a source of
income.) Those daring Apache dancers! Several times when we've been
scouting around Europe-mentally, we've seen Apache dancers even as these.
Think, then, of our excitement when we saw them under our own blue sky.
Artists were at work in this village before we came-long before! Working,
planning, creating scenes for your entertainment and mine. 'To those gifted
ones we give a confetti-colored "thank you" for such a fine time at the
Sophomore Greenwich Village Ball. SPRING QUARTER The Viking Vodvil was
one of the high lights of the season. Its place in mid- quarter was most
apropos since student teachers had long since lost consciousness, and
exam-weary students were questioning the value of "petty godgy" in our
social system. Pantomimes, shadow plays, and music formed first class
entertainment at this Vodvil. And as Chieh Chung would say, "Our delight
exceeded the colors of heaven." Campus Day at Normalstad was like
after-dinner mints. We wanted to pro-long the joy of those hours, but the
sun insisted on "sliding off the edge of the sky," while we distastefully
recalled the fact that some instructors still called eight o'clock
classes. This shadow play of days, drawn from a jade battle, flecked with
scintillant hours goes quietly into the wings. Actors assume new masks,
new costumes, and carefully cover their wishes and suspicions with a
diploma and a contract. Some will cover them too carefully and though they
look the wide world over will never find a single wish nor a suspicion.
Others will keep their secret ambitions poised in the cool places of the
heart in fear of this adventure we call the big business of teaching. A
few moon-mad folk will find high flickering flames even in this
adven-ture- due to two years of experience in adventure at the
Normal-by-the-Sea. Sixty-four

auditorium. The essence of the play revolves around the quotation from
Shakespeare: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in
ourselves, that we are underlings." Although people are given a second
chance to live, they still have a strain of human nature which does not
change very much. The scenic construction for the play was of unusual

As an incentive to inter-normal debate, Mr. Ellison, an alumnus of the
Bellingham Normal, now of San Francisco, an ardent debate fan, offered a
silver loving cup to the school winning the inter-normal decision for
three consecutive years. By virtue of a win in last year's debating
circles, Bellingham retained the Ellison cup as a permanent possession.
Excerpts from a letter by Mr. Ellison, read at the last debate program in
1926, stated, "a bigger and better cup will be offered for 1927 and
subsequent years, providing that the three normal schools can make
arrangements to promote debate." The fact that Ellensburg dropped out of
inter-normal debate last year destroyed the triangular forensic
competition that has been in vogue for a number of years between the three
Washington normal schools. Agitation for the power to grant degrees in the
teacher training institutions of the state of Washington would serve
materially as an incentive for furthering tri-normal argumentation.
Coaches of athletics in the Ellensburg, Cheney and Bellingham Normal
schools have been desirous of having the degree act pass the legislature,
in order that a minor college conference for athletics might be formed.
The degree act would affect debate also, inasmuch as a minor college
forensic conference might be formed. As an alternative to tri-normal
debate, and as a supplement to inter-club debate, Miss Madden, head of the
debate department of the Bellingham Normal, devised a unique plan for
stimulating extemporaneous speaking in which any number of students were
allowed to compete. The rules compelled participants to be prepared to
deliver a five-minute oration on any subject pertinent to modern trends
of thought, at an informal tryout. Members of the faculty acted as judges
in the preliminary. Six students, George Allez, Sverre Arestad, Clare
Jacobsen, Borghild Jensen, Jack Kellogg, and Edna Smith, were chosen from
those who tried out, to appear in a final contest held in assembly in the
latter part of the winter quarter. In this contest George Allez, Sverre
Arestad, and Edna Smith were chosen to vie for honors in a final contest
held in June. In the second elimination contest, prominent citizens of
Bellingham, who had an appreciable knowledge of debate, acted as judges.
Considerable enthusiasm was displayed by the large number of students that
entered the contest. From all indications, this event will become a yearly
tradition. Whether tri-normal debate ever regains its. former status or
not, extem-poraneous speaking will be perpetuated by the momentum it
received by the students and members of the faculty when only in the
experimental stage. The extempore frays have now passed the embryonic
period and for the time being, at least, have been added as one of the
traditional activities of the Bellingham Normal. The cup, engraved with
the name of the winner and that of the club rep-resented, will be
perpetual. Seventy-seven _ ______ ___ ___

Ccture oUurtL ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS TO APPEAR IN NORMAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
Roy Chapman Andrews, re-nowned scientist and head of the Third Asiatic
Expedition, will make two appearances at the Normal School auditorium,
Thurs-day, February 24. He will lec-ture to the students at three
o'clock in the afternoon and to the general public in the evening. Mr.
Andrews has returned to America to tell his own personal experiences of
the famous expe-dition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural
History, in co-operation with the American Asiatic Asociation and the
magazine, "Asia." In addition to his personal story, he is bringing
thousands of feet of motion picture film, which will be shown for the
first time with his lectures. Hot Races Expected "Imagine the quest of
the real 'Golden Fleece' of China-the rare and beautiful golden 'takin',
monarch of Mongolia's highest peaks, brought down by Mr. Andrews' rifle
after days of dis-heartening hunt, Imagine a race between a modern auto
and the wild ass of the Gobi Desert-a thirty-mile pursuit while the
speedometer registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine
quaint Mongol villages of shep-herds and their families, watching with
half-startled, inquisitive eyes the queer white man and the even stranger
machines that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their
warnings in no uncertain language. A pano- rama of Life-such as it is in
this out-of-the-way corner of the world-sl:oppers, peasants, roving
brigands, llamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched
to carts, camel trains of desert traders- so primitive it all seems that
one cannot help but feel that the rocks of Asia should be the natural
tomb of the oldest man." Andrews Has Caught Spirit Mr. Andrews has
caught the spirit of romantic adventure that goes hand in hand with such
an enterprise both in his own story and in his pictures. He turned back
the clock a few million years and found hidden away in the rock strata
the eggs and fossils of dinosaurs that lived when the world was in its
infancy; he un-earthed the skull of the Baluch-ithirium, the largest
mammal that ever trod the earth. In the expedition, which has been under
way more than four years, Mr. Andrews has combined the most modern
inventions with the old., The success of the ven-ture has depended upon
the auto-mobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. FROM THE
SON OF A BLACK-SMITH TO ITALY'S DICTATOR Taking as his subject, "Musso-
' lini and the Black Shirts," Tom Skeyhill, Australian soldier, lec-turer,
poet and playwright, de-livered what was considered a very enlightening
lecture at a special assembly Thursday after-noon, in the Normal
Auditorium. The lecturer is a personal friend of the Italian dictator,
and has made seven trips to Italy, making a study of the Italian
political revolution. He gave, in a sweeping narration, the history of
the colossal rise of Benito Mussolini from the blacksmith's son that he
was, to the control-ling factor of Italy,sd estiny that he now is.
According to tre lecturer, Mus-solini is himself a graduate of a Normal
School, and his mother was a "school ma'am." Musso-lini, before his
recent political ascent, was a newspaper editor, "always writing while
the world was sleeping," according to Skeyhill. In an interview with a
Messen-ger reporter after his lecture Mr. Skeyhill refused to give his
opinion in matters which are purely American political prob-lems,
asserting that it would be unethical for him to do so, in the light of
the fact that he is not an American citizen, and is at present a guest on
American soil. ENTICING SKITS IN FEATURE EVENT Miss Ruth Draper, who
has achieved a remarkable success in the field of dramatics, presented a
group of original character sketches to an enthusiastic and receptive
audience at the Normal School Auditorium on Wednesday evening. In these
characters she gave not only the characters she meant to portray, but
their sur-rounding atmosphere, and in some cases peeps into their past.
Miss Draper's characters were so realistically drawn that the interest of
the audience was man- ifest throughout the entire per-formance. With the
aid of almost no accessories, she evolved human beings out of thin air
and actually made them live before the audience. Good Program-Variety
Beginning the series with "The German Governess," the artist gained the
whole-hearted sympathy of the spectators. The glee only increased as the
pro-gram progressed. Of course there was a feeling of deep pathos as the
"Dalamation Peasant in the Hall of a Hospital,' was por-trayed. The New
England accent seems to be born with Miss Draper. In the encore she
impersonated the French dress maker with an art that was colored with
sublimity. Her knowledge of French is per-fect, and she speaks the
language with a fluency and ease that only becomes one of the
nationality. In the concluding number of the program, Miss Draper proved
beyond a doubt her ability to polarize and electrify her audi-ence. The
ludicrous moments in the skit went glibly on, ere long the pathos slipped
in intermit-tently, until the curtain was drawn. LEW SARETT WILL LECTURE
HERE MARCH 18 "Poet of Wilderness" Is a Very Fascinating Speaker and
Reader Another interesting number of the Lecture Course, will be Lew
Sarett, known as the "Poet of the Wilderness," who will ap-pear at the
Normal Friday, March 18. It is only about eight weeks of the year that he
can be induced to mount the lecture platform, but he is a most
fasci-nating speaker and reader of his poems. He is an athlete, a dancer
of Indian dances, a woodsman, and a rider. For years he was a forest
ranger, a wilderness guide, a companion of the red man and of the wLite
man, a university in-structor, a headliner of modern chautauqua and
Lyceum, and a magazine writer. He has unfail-ingly spent at least three
months of each year in the woods, has served as a U. S. ranger in
Yel-lowstone and Glacier National Parks, and has guided and cruised by
canoe and pack train 25,000 miles in Canada and the United States.

FAMOUS AMERICAN POET TO LECTURE HERE JAN. 15 Carl Sandburg, One of the
Most Interesting of Contemporary Writers to Give Literary Treat
Townspeople as well as stu-dents and faculty are looking for-ward to the
appearance of Carl Sandburg, American poet, who will be here January 15,
in the second number on the lecture course. Mr. Sandburg has led an
unus-ual and interesting life which has naturally affected his poetry.
He was born in Galesburg, Illinois, and there received his education.
After leaving college he became a hobo and wandered all over the United
States, learn-ing much of various classes of people. Later he found
employment in the stockyards of Chicago, spend-ing his spare time in the
writing of poetry. His start as a writer was made in hack journalism,
and until recently he has served as motion picture critic on the Chicago
News. CARL SANDBURG Famous American poet, who will lecture in the
Auditorium to-morrow night at 8:00 o'clock. Contrary to many poets, his
creations have not been written for the purpose of earning a living and
is free from the influ-ence of readers and publishers. His poetry is a
queer exotic combination of beautiful expres-sions, deeply mystic in
quality and resembling the old Norse sagas. He has the ability to create
the most vivid of mind pictures. There is a vigor and strength in his
lines, expressing a brutal realism, most prominent in his poems about
Chicago. He is rated by critics as one of America's best contemporary
poets. MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS PRESENT MYSTERIOUS SHIP "OUTWARD BOUND" (By
Mark Jarrett) The play "Outward Bound," given by the Moroni Olsen Players
in the Normal School Auditorium, Saturday, February 5, was a de-cided
success. The auditorium was well filled and the townspeo-ple as well as
the students agreed that the presentation was excellent. Theme Rarely
Dealt With The theme of the play is one that is very seldom dealt
with-life after death. Perhaps it was the universal interest in the theme
that made the drama such a thought provoking one. The plot centers about
a young couple who commit suicide to find happiness together. They find
themselves embarked on a mysterious ship "Outward Bound" for Heaven and
Hell. Their ad-ventures during the voyage and the way in which the other
pas-sengers accept the situation gives the play an appeal which holds one
from beginning to end. As usual, the Moroni Olsen players gave us of
their best. And their best has come to be, here in the West, a criterion
by which we judge all other com-panies of players. The audience knows
for a certainty, in advance of the production, that in every aspect the
play will exceed ex-pectations. Seventy-nine

What was known last year as the Ladies' Double Quartet has been changed to
a sextette. The sextette has had a very successful and interesting program
under the inspiring direction of Miss Maude Slawson. They appeared before
the Business and Professional Women's Club where they were very
enthusiastically received. At the home-coming luncheon the sextette
represented the MacDowell Club of which all are members. They also
rendered several Christmas selections before the American Association of
University Women at Edens Hall. For the Christmas assembly the sextette
sang several Christmas numbers characterizing the true spirit of the
season. The members of the sextette are Irene Kendler and Esther Cooper,
first sopranos; Phyllis Johnson and Grace Richardson, second sopranos;
Martha Gesdahl and Thelma Butler, altos; and Ruth Quaife, accompanist. At

Klipsun, 1927 - Page 86
----------
Jfoo a 5easoy When the 1926 grid season rolled around, Coach Sam Carver
and his assistant, Harold Keeney, were faced with the problem of molding a
winning aggregation from six veterans and two second stringers of the
preceding year. With these men as a nucleus and some good freshman
material on hand, a high class team which was feared by all its opponents
was put on the field. Viking hopes were somewhat dashed when Boyd Staggs,
veteran quarter, was declared ineligible, and forced to withdraw from
athletic competition. Although two games of the six played were lost, both
were lost by a margin of four points or less, which shows emphatically how
the Normalites fought. In summing up the results of the season, extra
credit should be given to Dan Bieghle, who played his first football, and
who, along with Shelton, was an outstanding man in the line. Thorsen was
probably the most consistent player, never having an off day; while Brown
on the other end played good ball after making the first string. Odell and
Seymour were primarily ball carriers and were a great pair when working
together. Hawkings and Clarke were also ball-toters, while Stickney,
Estill, and Staggs bore the brunt of interfering, occa-sionally taking
the oval when need arose. The following men earned sweaters: Two year:
Odel, Stickney, Baxter, Shelton, and Christman. One year: Seymour, Estill,
Hawkings, Edmundson, Thorsen, Brown, Wana- maker, Clarke, Hinds, Hyde,
Beighle and Stickney. Hansen, Drake, Blizzard, and Iverson are to be
especially commended, as they turned out all season, and then lacked only
a quarter or two to achieve the coveted "W" sweater. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE
In the opening tilt of the season, the Viking grid team was swept aside by
the fast St. Martin's eleven after a hectic battle, the final score being
14 to 13. This Irish team was the most powerful put out by the Lacey
institution since football relations were established between the two
schools. The Laceyites took the lead and held on tenaciously, although
Coach Sam Carver's charges fought valiantly and deserved a tie. St.
Martin's received a break in the first few minutes of play, getting the
oval on the Normal 20-yard line. Ralkouski packed the ball across for the
first touchdown, also converting. The Normal team then began functioning
with Odel, Seymour, and Stickney alter-nating carrying the ball, the
Normalites evening soon after. With two minutes to play in the first half,
Johannes, fleet St. Martin's back, behind perfect interfer-ence, sped
seventy yards for the final Irish score. Ralkouski converted, the ball
balancing on the cross bar and finally falling over. In the second half
St. Martin's was outplayed, but the Vikings were able to score but a lone
touchdown, that by Seymour, who ripped the Irish line to shreds in the
final minutes. Staggs failed to convert, leaving the score 14 to 13 against
the Vikings. With a few seconds to play Odell attempted a drop kick, which
failed along with Viking hopes for an unbeaten team. Eighty-six _ __

SEATTLE COLLEGE Showing much improvement over the St. Martin's game, the
powerful Viking machine snowed under the Seattle College Panthers, 27 to
nil. The Normal goal was never threatened, a fact which gave the coaching
staff an opportunity to try out all their reserves. The scoring started
soon after the kick-off, the Normal blocking a punt and Odell going over
for the initial touchdown. Using a variety of bucks and end-runs, Odell
and Seymour pushed across another touchdown before the half ended. At the
beginning of the second half Hawkings went for Seymour, and scored two
touchdowns, running wild against the demoralized Seattle team. The work of
the linesmen in the game was outstanding, each man doing his part
perfectly and often opening up holes large enough for a truck to drive
through. ELLENSBURG GAME The Ellensburg Wildcats blasted the Tri-Normal
title hopes of the Viking crew by administering a 13 to 9 defeat. This was
by far the most exciting and hard-fought game of the 1926 season. The
Wildcats got the jump on the Carverites by recovering Odell's fumble on
the 20- yard line and taking the ball across on the next play. The Viking
crew then braced and made an uninterrupted march to the Wildcats' 30-yard
line, Sey-mour bearing the brunt of the attack. Here Ruble, "Cat" guard,
intercepted a pass and ran 70 yards for a touchdown, making the score 13
to 0 against the Norsemen. With the first half nearly over the Normalites
recovered a fumble, Odell drop-kicking a field goal as the half ended.
Determined to redeem them-selves, the Vikings started off with a bang,
Seymour passing to Thorsen for twenty yards and then going through the
line thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Twice more the Vikings were in
scoring position: once by intercepting a pass, and again by working the
oval to the 10-yard line in the final minutes, only to be penalized back
to the 30-yard line as the game ended. CHENEY GAME Fighting to avenge the
ignominious defeat of a year ago at the hands of the Cheney Savages, the
Vikings redeemed themselves in the Annual Homecoming Classic by taking the
long end of a 9 to 3 score. This victory automatically cinched place in
the Normal Conference. Taking advantage of a Viking fumble, the Savages
worked themselves to scor-ing position and place-kicked a field goal.
Shortly before the half ended, the Viking machine began functioning, after
receiving a "break" when the Chenev pivot man passed over the heads of his
backs and a Viking recovered on the Savages' 25-yard line. From here
Seymour and Clark carried the oval over. Most of the play during the rest
of the game was in Savage territory. Coach Carver's boys once worked the
ball down to the two-yard mark. Here a bad pass put the ball back to the
20-yard line, where Odell drop-kicked the final score. Eighty- eight _

SUPER-VARSITY GAME Coach Sam Carver's Vikings finished the season with a
blaze of glory, triumph- ing over the strong Super-Varsity squad of the U.
of W. 16 to 0. This was the first victory for the Normalites over the
University team and climaxed a successful season. The Supers started
strong but were soon worn down by the vicious charging of the Viking
linesmen and the hard plunging of the backs, Odell going over for a
touchdown early in the second quarter. The next score came after working
the ball up to the 25-yard line where Odell booted a pretty field goal
against a strong wind. The last touchdown resulted from a 15-yard pass
from Seymour to Odell, Odell making a pretty 35-yard run to cross the goal
line. The Normal team played the best ball of the season in this game, the
backfield working together as a unit and the play of both ends being
great, both Thorsen and Brown having very little yardage made around them,
besides blocking and recovering five punts. A STATEMENT ABOUT ATHLETICS
By PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER A school should be judged not by the athletic
teams it develops, but by the kind of service rendered to society through
the graduates who go out of the institution. Athletics have a place in
student activities and in the work and the life of a school but they should
be made to fit in with the educational policy and program of a school. I
believe that students should participate in athletics because of the joy
and the satisfaction they get out of this kind of accomplishment and
because in a school like ours they learn to instruct others in athletics.
Athletics to be justified in an educational institution must offer
students opportunities for individual growth in qualities of character and
in health habits as well as in physical skills. The lowering of standards
of scholarship for the sake of developing winning teams and the management
of athletics upon a commercial basis has justly brought criticism upon
schools. No student should be permitted to represent a school in athletics
who is not in good standing in his classes and who does not put loyalty to
the team and to the school above personal recognition and gain. We have
had too much athletics in schools that developed winning teams to the
neglect of the physical and the health development of all of the students
of an institution. We are rapidly coming upon the time when schools will
be judged more by what athletics can accomplish for the individual growth
of character and health for all students rather than for the physical
prowess of a few students. I am proud of the fact that in our school we
have consistently spent more money for lectures, dramatics, and music than
for athletics. At the same time we have made a place for athletics in our
program and we have a record of accomplishments in athletics of which we
may be justly proud. Ninety

Winning the Tri-Normal Championship, usually considered the championship
of the minor colleges, is no mean feat in itself, and causes a team to play
consistently if they hope to keep in the running. This year the Normal was
represented by such a team, one that set out to win and accomplished its
purpose. The Vikings' record of games won and lost is one of which to be
proud. When the initial call for 1927 varsity basketball was made by Coach
Sam Carver in December, 1926, three star lettermen and numerous other
brilliant hoop performers responded. Prospects for a successful season
were never so bright. In addition to Stickney, Odell, and Keplinger, "W"
winners, there were Isaacson, Benson, Seymour, Clarke, Thorsen, Hawkings,
Harper, Hansen and Don Stickney. After the withdrawal from school of
Seymour, Clarke and Hansen, and the coming of Jensen, a center from
Chehalis, Coach Carver selected the following eight-man varsity: Ray
Odell, Earl Keplinger and Jack Harper, forwards; Forrest Jensen and Oscar
Thorsen, centers; Art Isaacson, Lyman Stickney and Harry Benson, guards.
The team lived up to expectations. It went through a thirteen-game schedule
in eight weeks of play, winning nine and losing four, and capturing the
Tri-Normal championship. It swept everything before it and was on the road
to the state minor colleges title with nine victories and one defeat, when
a late-season slump came on, and the contests with the Rothschild's, St.
Martin's College, and the Washington Freshmen all ended with Bellingham on
the under side. The Vikings opened the season against the Lynden Zebras,
an independent organization, on January 8. Ray Odell led his team-mates to
a 32-24 victory, scoring twenty points and giving a brilliant exhibition
of shooting. The New Westminster Adanjacs composed of highly touted
Canadian amateurs, fell before a barrage of Bellingham baskets, 57-21.
Odell again counted twenty markers. Playing superlative ball, the
Carverites ran their winning streak on by conquering the Washington Frosh
quintet, 31-25. With this victory the Vikings approached their full
playing strength. Odell and Keplinger were working in perfect harmony at
the forward positions. Jensen at center had a remarkable basket eye and
was a hard man to stop. Isaacson as stationery guard was holding the
opposition's star performers to low scores. Harry Benson, in the other
defensive position, was playing a splendid game. STANDING-Oscar Thorsen,

On January 24, the team departed on its first road trip of the year, to
eastern Washington to play two of its most important contests with Cheney
and Ellensburg Normals. Ellensburg was downed 33-30 in two overtime
periods, after a hard Wildcat uphill fight was halted just in time. The
honor of inflicting the first defeat on the Vikings went to the Cheney
Savages, who cut down and finally surpassed a big Bellingham lead to win
in the last minute, 36-33. Spokane College was outclassed in the final
road contest, 52-10. The Vikings opened the home stand which saw their game
reach its highest point and brought them the Tri-Normal title, on February
7, against St. Martin's. Opponents showed remarkable basket ability to
locate the hoop, but an early lead proved enough to bring another victory
to Coach Carver's outfit. The score was 51-40. Taking on Cheney twice and
Ellensburg cnce in four days, Bellingham clearly demonstrated its
superiority over its two rivals and took premier State Normal honors. The
Savages came here huge favorites to "cop," but were completely tamed
after two mixes, which the Vikings won, 46-19 and 37-22. It was in the
first of these that Jensen gave an exhibition that has never been equalled
in Viking history of how to make shots count. Subduing the Wildcats from
Ellensburg proved an easy matter, the score standing 40-21. Then came the
last games of the season and with them, the slump. The Rothschild's
Stevedores of Seattle, composed almost entirely of former Washington
stars, won a deserving 36-23 victory. But on the final road trip both
Washington Frosh and St. Martin's college inflicted Viking defeats, the
former 34-31, and the latter 38-26. Nevertheless, the season was highly
successful, and with practically the whole team returning, next year
should see another victorious season. Just a few words on the individual
players: Ray Odell, captain and high point scorer of the team. Ray is a
dead shot under the hoop and makes his share of the score each game,
continually outfoxing his guard. Earl Keplinger, most aggressive player
on team, good shot from any angle; Earl and Ray make an ideal forward
combination. Forrest Jensen, fine offensive player who can be counted to
outscore his man. "Jens" is especially good on long shots, thus keeping the
defensive team drawn out. Art Isaacson, one of the best, if not the best
guard in the conference. Can be depended upon to hold his man practically
scoreless. Lyman Stickney, dependable guard, and also a scoring threat.
"Stick" plays a nice floor game and is always where he is most needed.
Harry Benson, plays a good defensive game and counts often on shots from
the back court. Oscar Thorsen, probably the best team worker on the squad,
also fine floor man and good shot. Jack Harper, good floor man and fair
shot, inexperience keeping him from making his letter. The following is a

JUNIOR VARSITY The Junior Varsity, made up of inexperienced men, made a
record for which it may well be proud. By taking the City Class B title
the Jayvees hoopsters were admitted the best in their class, having won 15
and lost 4. The fast Roland Wrecker five took the first half of the class
B title, but the Modern Woodmen and Normal Jayvees tied them for the
second half. In the playoff for the second- half title, the Wreckers
relinquished their right, preferring to meet the winner for the
championship. The Junior Varsity came through with a win over the Modern
Wood-men and then vanquished the Roland Wreckers, winning the Class B
trophy, after dropping the first game and then taking the next two. The
men responsible for this record are Morse, Lundberg, Thorlakson, Fisher,
Norby, Meek and Blizzard. SUPER VARSITY The Super Varsity, composed of men
who just fell short of making the first squad, made an enviable record by
winning 16 out of the 19 contests played. By cap-turing the City Class A
trophy, the Supers showed the potential ability to make a champion team
the coming year. The first half of the split season was a walkaway for the
Supers, taking every game. In the final half the strong Brown and Cole
team nosed out the Normal team, but were defeated two straight games for
the city title. Men composing the squad were Hawkings, captain; Estill,
Burke, McClurkin, Issacson, Benson, Thorsen and Harper. The first squad
also played in several games. Maurice Blizzard ("Mony"), William Morse
("Bill"), George Lundberg, Robert Fisher ("Bob"), Robert Bohler ("Bob"),
Granville Thorlakson ("Granny"), Theo Norby ("Norby") Ninety-six ___

McClurken, Wiley, Cooper. Harold Keeney, diamond coach, was greeted by
one of the most encouraging turnouts this spring that the school has yet
afforded. Four lettermen answered the call, while the rest of the squad
included men of known baseball ability. Don Patterson, last year's
pitcher, Lyman Stickney, Myron Estill, and Eddie Wingaard were the rosters
of former Vikings in the fold. Wingaard from two years ago, was an
excellent addition to the rather slim pitching staff. Newcomers included
McClurken, an infielder from Richmond Beach, Kemp, a high school star from
Snoqualmie, and Bob Wiley, who played first base for Puyallup High before
coming here. Ray Odell, playing his first year of baseball for the Vikings,
is holding down second base in great shape. "Chuck" Cooper, rated as one
of the best catchers in Western Washington amateur ball circles, solved
the receiving end of the battery problem in an entirely satisfactory
manner. Isaacson, Thorlakson, Don Stickney, and Temple completed the list
of men on the squad. Bad weather conditions handicapped early season
practice and robbed the team of the much-needed practice games. The season
opened with a double header against the State University which resulted in
a double loss. Old Jupe Pluvius warmed up enough to allow the boys to trim
a couple of high school teams, which provided some welcomed practice. In
the opening conference game, the Vikings demonstrated their power by
defeating St. Martins' College 10-3 on the Rangers' field. Wingaard and
Cooper formed the battery, and the Collegians could garner but three hits.
The team lineup is as follows: Wingaard, Patterson and Temple, pitchers;
Wiley, first base; Odell, second base; Kemp, short stop; McClurkin, third
base; L. Stickney, Estill and Isaacson, outfield; Cooper, catcher.
Prospects are bright for one of the most successful of seasons, and the
Tri- Normal Title is the object of Viking aspirations. Ninety-seven __

The track season this year opened with about twenty- five men out, the
majority of whom were raw material. There were those who were out for track
as an educational course, and there were those who had taken an active
part in track before. These latter were Earl Hemmi, a last year letterman
and dash man, the 100-yard dash and the 220; Eddie Wingaard, a letterman
of '25 from Bellingham, and also a letterman of U. S. C., the javelin;
Frank Gallenger, a star of Whatcom High School, the half mile; Milton
Meek, also a star of Whatcom High School, the mile; Kirby Baldry, another
Whatcom man, the quarter mile; Bud Bunnell, a three-year trackman of
Puyallup; Cecil Gray, who has had an excellent record through high school
and the University of Idaho; and Zeke McClurkin, who placed in the
broad-jump in '23, in the State High School meet. George Lundberg was a
new-comer to track and has done very well in the 440. Dan Beighle has
concentrated on the shot and discus with Roy Arnett and Wendell Iverson;
Myron Estill worked with Eddie Wingaard in the javelin and also ran the
100-yard dash. Art Allen has worked on the sprints and the broad-jump.
Tommy Marsden, a patient, conscientious trainer, has been our two-miler.
Other men who have turned out consistently are Kenny Brotnov, Ladd Smith,
Barney Chichester, Talmadge Gray, K. Smith, and Parkko. The track schedule
for this season consisted of four meets. In the first of these was the U.
of W. Relay Carnival in which we entered Earl Hemmi in the 100-yard dash
and a medley relay team. Hemmi placed second in the class B century, while
the relay team took third in their event. The other three meets were with
the U. of W. Frosh on May 7 at Seattle, with C. P. S. on May 14 at
Bellingham, and with Ellensburg and Cheney (Tri-Normal) here on May 21.

Pre-season forecasts indicate that the 1927 Viking tennis team will be one
that will compare well with past squads. So-called critics anticipate an
easy victory in the annual tri-normal melee, to be held May 21, two weeks
after this publication goes to press. Foremost among those who will wear
the Viking colors this year is Nel Robinson, a young Seattle right-hander.
In four months at Bellingham he has yet to lose a set in practice or
tournament play. This year's second man is Bob Fisher, last year a member
of the Whatcom High School team. Myer Thal, the southpaw, who was a
finalist in last year's city championship, seems reasonably sure of
holding third place. It is planned to use Robinson and Fisher for singles
and to pair Thal with the Viking first man as the school's doubles
combination. The tournament ran off to determine this year's team provided
a number of interesting matches. The records of the three men who
eventually landed on the team are: Robinson d. Kellogg 6-0; 6-0, d.
Keplinger 6-0; 6-3, d. Houlton 6-2; 6-0, d. Kellam 6-0; 6-4 d. Mock 6-0;
6-1, d. Fisher 7-5; 6-4, d. Fisher 6-3; 6-2, d. Thal 6-1; 6-1. Bob Fisher
lost two matches to Robinson, and one early-season affair to Bill Mock.
His string of victories include Houlton 6-2; 6-0. Mock 5-7; 6-1; 6-0.
Kellam 6-2; 6-3 and Thal 8-6; 6-2. Myer Thal advanced to third place by
mastering Kellogg 6-1; 6-1; Sumner Kellam 6-2; 15-13, Houlton 6-2; 6-4,
and Mock 6-4; 6-3. The men on the squad below these first three rank in
the following order: Kellam, Mock, Keplinger, Norby, Houlton, Schneider,
Thompson, Huff and Kellogg. Intra-mural tennis will afford an opportunity
for less experienced players to gain tournament experience. Norby and
Houlton are two of the early season Farrules. Ninety- nine

popular sport among college women all over the United States, has proved
to be a favorite with the women students of Bellingham Normal also. It was
introduced this year as one of the major sports in girls' athletics and
so great was the enthusiasm shown that it was necessary to divide the
players into sections or groups, in order that all might have an
opportunity to play. The game was played on the ball field, paralleling
the football field, little or no attention being paid to the weather. Rain
or shine, those teams were there, ready to go. After a few weeks of
practice, spent in learning the game, intramural teams were organized;
namely, Whitesocks, Wildcats, Mules, and Sockies. These teams were chosen
regardless of whether or not the players were freshmen or sophomores; thus
they afforded an excellent opportunity for those outstanding players to
show what they could do, and helped toward the choosing of class teams
later on. Of the four intramural teams, the Whitesocks proved to be the
winners of the championship. About the middle of the quarter, class teams
were chosen and a schedule of interclass games arranged. These games
proved to be very interesting as the teams were well matched and a very
fine brand of soccer was played by both Freshmen and Sophomores. The end
of the season saw the Sophomores emerge victorious, having won the two
games by a very narrow margin. The scores stood 2-0 and 1-0. Owing to the
extreme popularity of this game, it is planned to make it one of the
regular major sports in girls' athletics of this school. One Hundred One

enthusiastic girls responded to the call for hockey players, and lined up
on the field for the first turnout. No, they couldn't all play at first,
but they soon learned. The game was played on the athletic field, where
the bright orange and green blazers worn by the opposing teams were very
much in evidence throughout the sports season. To eliminate the numerous
bruises and skinned shins, hockey shin guards were purchased, the players
thereafter emerging armed for battle. Intramural teams were organized in
this sport, a very successful series of practice games following, the
Speeders and Rushers running true to their names. The organization of
class teams followed the close of the intramural series, and after a
season of hard-fought games the class championship went to the Sophomores
by scores of 4-0 and 2-0. This sport has long been popular among the girls
of the school and will continue to be one of the major sports for women.

fifty girls on hand for the first volley-ball practice, this sport started
off with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest which lasted all through
the sports season, making volley ball one of the most successful of all
the games played this year. As the practices went on, a great deal of
skill and sportsmanship were exhibited and the organization of intramural
teams found four strong and skillful groups competing for first place. As
in all other sports, each group took unto itself a descriptive name and
then proceeded to live up to the name. These teams were called Invaders,
Skyrockets, T. N. T.'s, and Slammers. A fine form of volley ball was
played by both Freshmen and Sophomores in the interclass games. Some of
the most thrilling games of the season were played in this series. Owing,
perhaps, to their added year of playing and to their superior strength,
the Sophomores won the championship, after a series of hard- fought games
by the scores of 15-7 and 15-9. Both teams are to be commended on the
fine sportsmanship which they displayed consistently throughout the entire
season. One Hundred Three _ _ ___

that basketball is the oldest girls' sport in this school does not mean
that enthusiasm is dying out with age. Between fifty and sixty girls
reported at the first practice, and the sport retained its popularity
throughout the entire season. This was mainly due to the organization of
intramural teams which afforded oppor-tunity for everyone to participate
in games. Seven intramural teams were organized and chose the following
names: Viqueens, College-Humors, Pigmies, Stubtoes, Hoopsters, Basketeers,
and Ringers. The Viqueens and College Humors tied for championship when
each team had played six games. Two weeks before the close of the
basketball season, class teams were organized. Two fast and skillful first
teams were chosen and played very interesting and close games. The
Freshmen through surprising skill and team work succeeded in wresting the
championship from the Sophomores by the scores 10 to 22 and 18 to 22. One

5t ubetS O( r~cni 5ation 2ou"jcic * The students' organizations council
was formed in the spring quarter of 1926 when the need was felt for a
central organization to control and supervise the activities of all
student organ-izations. At its first meeting of each quarter each
or-ganization elects a representative to serve that quarter as a member
of the council. Besides these there are the faculty representatives, Miss
Jones, Dean of Women; Mr. Marquis, Dean of Men; Miss Johnson, Social
Director of Edens' Hall, and Miss Rosene, chairman of the faculty committee
on students' organizations. Each organizations is required (1) to furnish
the council with its yearly calendar, (2) to furnish HILDA F. ROSENE all
records and other necessary information; (3) and to have a representative
at all the meetings of the council. It is also expected to abide by the
decisions of the council when con-troversies arise, such as when two
clubs' affairs fall upon the same date. Not only does this council
supervise these organizations and straighten out difficulties, but it also
encourages participation in all-school activities and develops a spirit
of co-operation of inestimable value to the school. TOP ROW-Lyman

The Men's Club of the Bellingham State Normal School is an organization
which includes all of the men of the school. It was organized for the
purpose of creating common interests among the men, and functions as a
means of giving expression to these interests. During the year at special
men's assemblies the men have an opportunity to discuss together their
various interests and their relationship and responsibility as a group to
the school. At this time also the men have an opportunity to hear prominent
speakers who have messages of special interest to them. The club sponsors
two outstanding social events during the school year: the men's informal,
which is held at Edens Hall during the fall quarter, and the men's
smokeless smoker which is held in the gymnasium during the winter quarter.
The smoker this year was an outstanding success. I't was the one strictly
all men affair and had a lasting value in the spirit of fellowship that it
promoted. Besides the various social activities associated with the Men's
Club, the organization maintains the school fire department and has charge
of the policing of all athletic contests. OFFICERS BRYAN HANKINS . . . .

talks on photography in general, on the camera, on composition, on
silhouette photography, and the chemistry of photo-graphy, how the picture
is made, etc. Of great value to the club and to the school in general is
the Weekly Camera News, a bulletin which portrays the activities of

been held in the outside houses and at the Wednesday noon hour; at school
Miss Pinell has led the noon class; Miss Sperry and Mrs. Miller the
others. The most looked forward to event in the program of the Y. W. C. A.
was the Bible Institute in January. Dr. Georgia Sattler and Mrs. J.
Addison Campbell of Seattle were the speakers. Easter morning a sunrise
praise service, always the largest meeting of the year, is held on the top
of Sehome Hill. The asociation gave the opening reception for the school
at Edens' Hall. It has ministered to the sick. The members have had good
times and frolics, at least one party each quarter, besides hikes and
outdoor meetings during the spring quarter. One Hundred Sixteen _ I __ _

5ociaC 5cienca (2fu The Social Science Club is one of the Departmental
Clubs of the school associated with the Social Science Department. Its
purpose is to create an interest in contemporary social problems and to
establish a realization of individual responsibility in connection with
them. Its activities are wide spread and far reaching. They involve talks
and reports by members on various appropriate subjects of interest, talks
by prominent men and women of the community on subjects related to the aims
of the club, excursions to many of the available industries of the city
such as the coal mines, the lumber mills, the beet sugar factory, the
dairies, etc., as well as various social events. It is probably one of the
most instructive as well as democratic clubs of the school. Its many and
varied interests give it an appeal to a large group of students. The many
social problems discussed are of special interest to pros-pective
teachers. The Social Science Club is a club which deserves an honored
place among the clubs of the school by virtue of its real value to
students of a teacher-training school. OFFICERS BRYAN HANKINS . .. .

interested in dramatic work stands the Drama Club, one of the best known
and most active organizations of the school. This club was organized in
the spring of 1923 for the study and interpretation of drama, and to
present to the student body each quarter some of the best plays. During
the summer quarter of 1926 the Drama Club presented Shakespeare's immortal
"Romeo and Juliet" in the Greenwood Theatre on the campus. The play for
the fall quarter was "The Road to Yesterday," the story of a girl who
turned back the hands of time. The costumes and the lighting effects were
especially noteworthy. As a feature of the winter quarter "Milestones," a
study of the struggle between youth and old age, was presented. The change
from youth to middle age and then to old age was exceptionally well
portrayed by the young dramatists. Besides the quarterly plays there was a
series of interesting club meetings devoted to studies of different types
and periods of drama. OFFICERS JOHN KERR President PEGGY MAGOON .

of this club are to promote interest in and provide opportunity for
literary programs, to make a study of activities appropriate to the
communities into which its members may go as teachers, to provide social
and recreational opportuni-ties for its members, and to support and in
every way further the interests of the Washington State Normal School.
In pursuance of these aims the club has spent a busy, happy, and
serviceable year. The literary efforts of the club have been directed to
our regular programs and to contributions to all-school enterprises.
Although we are primarily a literary club, our members are all devotees of
the out-doors, hence we aim to include in our program, throughout the year,
many hikes, educational and recreational excursions, and picnics. Included
in our trips are the Mt. Maker district and the San Juan Islands. Events
we try to bring about each year are salmon bakes, overnight hikes,
tree-planting, water trips, initiations, and formal social functions.

interested in journalism. The main activity of the club is the publication
of "The Red Arrow," a quarterly literary magazine of students' work. The

valuable art. It aims to give its members: 1. Acquaintance with the great
stories of the world. 2. Practice in story-telling. 3. Oportunities for
community service through the story telling art. Friendship and service
are the keynotes of all Leowyrhta activities. Service is given wherever
there is a need for it. Story Hour work in the city libraries has been the
primary work of this year. Friendship is extended through social
activities as well as social service. Outstanding among these are the

organized in the winter of 1926 for the purpose of giving the girls a
broader knowledge of the work of the organization and affording them the
opportunity of having the friendships which come with the ideal Camp Fire
associations. Because there were only a few old members left in the fall,
no definite work was done until the winter quarter. During the latter part
of the fall quarter the group was reorganized under the leadership of
Grace Sheldon. New members were taken in at the beginning of the winter
quarter and Miss Hilda Rosene took the guardianship of the group. The
group name, Klyteawo, is a coined word meaning "climbing and team-work,"
and throughout the year's work the girls lived up to the name with a true
spirit of comradeship. The program which was followed by the girls was
based on the law of the Camp Fire which is: Seek beauty, give service,
pursue knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, and be
happy. The watchword, Wohelo, means work, health, and love. The year's
program consisted of work in bandaging, nature study, campcraft,
bookbinding, and making Indian symbols. The first council fire was held at
the end of Sunset Trail, February 23. Hikes and an overnight trip to Camp
Samish were features of the year's work. The group took part in the grand
council fire at the armory which included the Camp Fire Girls of Whatcom
and Skagit Counties. The group consisted of twelve girls. OFFICERS JEAN

organization of the "Webfoot" students who have lived or taught in Oregon.
It was organized in the year 1925, having as its purpose the promotion of
good fellowship among Oregon students. The only requirement for admission
is former residence in that state. An interesting and lively program was
carried out during the year, which included hikes, an initiation, and as
the crowning event of the season, the Oregon Club dance, given in the
interest of the entire student body. Decorations of web- feet, toadstools,
and Oregon grapes added an interesting and unique background to the
affair. NEI.LIE FLYNN INEz ELIFF MAYME HALL DORIS FLYNN Mrs. VAUGHAN

"W" Club has as its purpose the promotion of a higher type of athletics,
higher standards of scholarship, good sportsmanship, and the bringing
together of the men of the school who have a common interest in athletics.
It is the ultimate purpose of the club to induce all men of the Normal
School to take an active part in at least one branch of athletics during
the school year. According to the rules of the student association, only
those men are admitted as members who have earned a letter in one of the
five major sports: football, basketball, baseball, track or tennis. The
Board of Control gives a sweater for one quarter's successful
participation in one of these major sports, provided that no man wins more
than one sweater in one year. Meetings are called when there is some
business at hand, and, although the club is not a social organization, it
sponsors one dance every year. DONALD STICKNEY . . . . . . . President

organized during the winter quarter, offers the inter-ested student an
opportunity for the study of international affairs from an impartial and
non-partisan viewpoint. It--with over a hundred like organizations in the
various colleges and universities throughout the United States-is under the
friendly supervision of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the
purpose of which is "to fix the attention of students on those underlying
principles of interna-tional conduct, of international law, and of
international organization which must be agreed upon and applied if
peaceful civilization is to continue." The club is limited to twenty-five
active student members who can meet the requirements which include a high
scholastic standing in the social sciences and re-lated subjects. Try-outs
for new members, in the form of a five-minute address on some topic of
current international interest, are to be held each quarter by the club.
Honorary membership is extended to those members of the faculty who-the
club feels-would find a common interest in its activities. One Hundred

Association states as its purpose "to promote high physical efficiency
among women of the Normal, to foster college spirit by develop-ing
inter-class athletics, to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to
foster good citizenship." This year a new system of points was
inaugurated which corresponds to the point system of the national W. A. A.
and enables a girl to use her points in other institutions. This point
system concerns athletic work alone. The W. A. A. has other activities,
such as ushering and selling tickets, which do not count toward points in
the organization. Many of their activities center around the plan for a.W.
A. A. Lodge, which the club is raising money to build. The year's program
includes many hikes, an initiation, and a W. A. A. sports banquet. Among
the longer hikes taken every year is included one to Skyline Ridge, one to
Lost Lake, and the annual hike up Mount Constitution on Orcas Island.

The first social event of the quarter is the pajama party that is staged in
the drawing room of the hall. On this occasion music, stunts, games, and
refreshments are the main diversions. The main social event of the quarter
is the informal which is given in the drawing room. To suit the occasion
the room is artistically trans-formed. All the girls ardently look forward
to this grand event and much interest is taken in it to make it live up to
its reputation. Along with the above things mentioned there is a place
and time provided for the girls to dance when they wish. Looking at Edens
Hall from the educational and scholastic standpoint we see that they
observe hours for study and hours for amusement. The regular study hours
are from 7:30 to 9:30 every night. Quietness is enforced during these hours
by a proctor who is elected to fulfill this duty and also to see that
lights are out at 10:00 P. M. One Hundred Thirty-three _ __ _ __ __

RULES OF THE ROAD IN JAPAN AND KOREA Copy of Official Printed Rules At
the rise of the hand of policeman stop rapidly; do not pass him or
otherwise disrespect him. When you meet the horse or the cow stop beside
the road till he pass by. When a passenger of the foot have in sight
tootle the horn, trumpet to him melodiously at first; if he still
obstacles your passage tootle him with vigor and express to him by word of
mouth, "hi! hi!" Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take
fright as you pass by him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him, go
soothingly by by. Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the
roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with your wheel spoke. Go soothingly
on the grease-mud as there lurk the speed demon. Press the brake of the
foot as you roll round the corner. Do save collapse and tie up.
PARDON-MR. SANDBURG-BUT WE HAD TO DO IT The Spirit of the Institution was
called Going-out-to-Teach, and he used to say to his little daughter,
Lemme-at-It: Everything was and is and will always be the same as it
always was: Men who know come to Assembly and give us their Mother
Hubbard speeches- Covering everything and touching nothing. The
Scholarship is a distinguished Committee and they all sit together,
holding their mouths under their noses, Mr. Berg is so tall that he has to
sit down to put his hand in his pockets. "Are student-teachers people?"
is a serious training-school discussion question. Mr. Arntzen puts his
right hand into his left hand and shakes hands with himself after every
successful psycho-analysis. The good die young because there is no use of
living if you have to be good. Everything is the same as it always was.
Rella Ebeling: What a pity handsome men are always conceited. Bill Mock:
Not always, little girl, I'm not. And the best illustration of mingled
hope and fear is Henry Durr asking Miss Johnson if he can do an extra
project. Miss Sundquist: Is that clear? Clear as mud, I suppose . . well,
that covers the ground. One Hundred Thirty-eight

went in and out with me, And what could be the use of it Was more than I
could see. Finding a row of books one day, Upon a shiny shelf, I set
about with aid of them To analyze myself. I dissected all my day-dreams
Ultra-conscientiously, And pursued remote responses With a fierce
avidity. -Excavated my repressions Underneath my conscious mind- Yet
insistent inhibitions Still persisted undefined. I took 'em to a friend
of mine, A man whom I respect: A psycho-analytic soul, A ruthless
introspect. And now I'm sunk- for this he said: "With you I sympathize.
You've a complex on complexes- Too complex to analyze." One Hundred
