Foreword An ancient Viking army-emblazoned in glory-burnished steel
gleaming - eager for war and conquest-refusing defeat- We modern Vikings
- so like the Vikings of old are also in search of adventure - ours in
the world of knowledge - theirs in war and conquest- With our standards
of Blue and White - flashing truth and purity in the sunlight - we have
embarked in search of great adventure - on the sea of knowledge - our ever
beckoning goal - to cross that sea -

Dedication To Lord Siegfried - glorious Northland hero of ancient day -
noblest of knights - possessor of a spirit of great adventure-- great
strength and daring - great courage and skill -- A doer of mighty deeds
- loyal to his fellowmen -- a character ennobled by many hardships and
privations - pure in spirit and heart. We dedicate this Viking edition to
Siegfried - the originator of that first Viking spirit-who has passed
that spirit to us to be upheld - and surpassed -

There was a dwelling of kings ere the world was waxen old; Dukes were the
door-wards there, and the roofs were thatched with gold; Earls were the
wrights that wrought it, and silver nailed its doors; Earls' wives were
the weaving women, queen's daughters strewed its floors, And the masters
of its song-craft were the might-iest men that cast The sails of the
storm of battle adown in the bickering blast. There dwelt men
merry-hearted, and in hope ex-ceeding great Met the good days and the
evil as they went the way of fates. From=-SIGURD THE VOLSUNG.

Our Normal As though they love her too, the emerald hills stand by In
rugged, ceaseless vigil day by day, While at her feet in humble adoration,
lie The sunset tinted waters of the bay. Tradition lies within her walls,
where eager Youth Has fingered pages, studied, learned to share Another's
woes; and, striving thus for all Life's truth Has left a bit of priceless
beauty there. Our shaded campus walks, our well-loved velvet knoll- So
many other hearts have loved them too, And though their names no longer
answer to the roll We feel the peace that all those others knew. And
we-on moonlight nights when forms in silhouette, Pace silvered walks; we
know, though smiles turn tears, An echoed laugh, a touch, a smile we can't
forget, Will linger in our hearts throughout the years. DOLLY CUSTER
ANDERSON.

President C. H. Fisher President's Message This is the thirty-second year
of the history of our school. Starting in a small way in 1899, the school
has gradually expanded in buildings, equipment, students, faculty, and the
quality of its work, until today it occupies a position of distinction
among similar schools, not only on the Pacific coast but throughout the
country. A capable, devoted, and friendly body of students and faculty
sharing life together on a high plane of idealism are the embodiment of
the purpose of the school. The many stu-dents who have gone out from the
school to serve society, chiefly through teaching in the public schools,
are the finest expression of the achieve-ments of the school. May this
book, packed with beautiful memories of school life shared together, be an
inspiration to all students, who join the long caravan of those who have
gone before; to achieve, in the name of the idealism and the purpose of
the school that they represent. C. H. FISHER Fifteen

Dean Marquis Dean Bever Dean Jones Deans To the three Deans must go much
of the credit for the pleasant asso-ciations which Bellingham Normal
students have during their school life. Upon them depend many of the
adjustments which students must make with their school environment. The
three administrative officers are James Bever, dean of the school; Adele
M. Jones, dean of women; and W. J. Marquis, dean of men. Difficulties
arising from the arrangement of courses or the satisfac-tory completion of
one of the curricula are adjusted in the office of the Dean of the school.
To Dean Bever students may go with problems arising from their courses.
Particularly helpful to the women students is the friendly counsel of
Adele Jones, dean of women. In her the students have a friend of mature
judgment and experience, who is ever willing to advise them on personal or
school matters. Regulation of social functions also is taken care of by
Miss Jones. W. J. Marquis handles the duties of adviser to the men of the
school with unusual tact and skill. A deep insight into student psychology
and an intimate acquaintance with the problems of school life make his
counsel of extraordinary value to students. Through him, the problems of
the men of the school are settled with unusual success.

BOND . . . . Faculty Adviser With the election of officers in the fall the
Junior-Senior College organized as a class for the second year. This
group consists of students who have attended school longer than the two
year requirement. Its organization is a means of bringing together these
upper-division students in the same way as the Freshmen and Sophomores of
the school are organized. Although this class is still somewhat small, in
comparison with the others in the school, it has an opportunity of
becoming very active and much larger with the new membership which will be
added by the longer attendance requirements. Twenty-five Eagan Smith

Sophomores If I could have my choice of things I'd like to be a girl And
graduate sometime in June In all that dizzy whirl When flowers and frocks
and finger-waves Are all that seem to count, And grades are past, and no
one cares To what one will amount. To me there's something thrilling-
Something vital to be had, Although the music's mournful, And the faculty
look sad; The trees, and lawn, and sun combine With flick'ring bits of
shade To make a lovely thing of each Commencement Day Parade. I'd like
to be a sophomore, A girlish graduate, Because it leaves one's world of
plans In a suspended state; To live just for the moment In that slowly
marching stream; Oh, to be a Part of Beauty E're one wakens from the
dream! Fifty-six

in a joint picnic late in the spring quarter. With Colin Campbell, a
freshman, as the newly selected student body president, members of the
freshman class are anticipating an even more successful year when they fill

The Northwest Viking was founded in 1900 under the name of the "Weekly
Messenger." Since this early first appearance, it has been stead-ily
improving, and especially in the last few years it has been winning a name
for itself nationally. In the recent Columbia Press Association contest
for the Normal and small college papers, the Northwest Viking, which is a
member of this association, won first place ranking. Out of a possible
one hundred points, the Viking scored eighty-three. The fall quarter
editions were scored. The present editor, Bob Walters, was serving his
initial quarter at this time and deserves much credit for his splendid
work. Gordon W. Leen was serving his fourth and final quarter as business
and advertising manager on the issues that were sent east. The score in
this field was comparatively high and worthy of comment. In the section
dealing with make-up and general appearance twenty-five credits were
given. Out of these, the Viking was allowed eighteen. The Viking was
awarded all but five points on news content. The three highest grades came
from the use of good English, avoidance of sport slang, and the
representation of varied activities in the columns. The editorial column
rated well, receiving fourteen out of the fifteen point limit. The fact
that the editorials dealt with specific situations, were related to news
columns, and were constructive, made this judg-ment possible. The final
scoring was on the basis of whether it gave a good im-pression of the
school and performed the function of a school paper. In the division of
the contest which Bellingham State Normal entered, there were
approximately three hundred and fifty other schools. GETTING THE VIKING

Publications PINK PISTOL This year for the first time, Bellingham Normal
had a pub-lication which was in the class of college humor magazines-the
Pink Pistol. It contained twenty-eight pages and twen-ty- two separate
features-hu-morous short stories, plays, poems, and jokes, written by
Normalites. It was published with the permission of the Board of Control,
by Arden Ben-thein, Vernon V. Vine, and Stanley Hoveland, and much praise
is to be given to these editors for making the maga-zine a success. Mr.
James Car-rell was faculty adviser. FOOTBALL PROGRAM At the annual
Homecoming game of October 25, very clever football programs were sold in
assembly, in the main hall, and at the game, for souvenirs of the yearly
tilt between Bellingham and Cheney. The booklet was shaped like a
football. The four traditional colors of the two schools were used on
the cover, and the pictures of the captains of the teams were worked into
the cover in a novel way. Fol-lowing this blend of school pa-triotism,
the reader was taken through thirty pages of engrav-ings of every member
of the teams and their coaches, statis-tics, history and scores of past
games, score cards and lineups. The Board of Control spon-sors this
booklet, and lets the contract to students. Charles Gerold held the
contract this year, and deserves much credit for the work he did.

Publications BLUE BOOK The Blue book is one of the publications which is
part of the Normal student's necessary equipment. It is a handbook,
containing information on prac-tically every subject that would come
under the head of a Nor-mal school, from Faculty through the Students'
Associa-tion, down to songs and yells. Its information is of value to
everyone throughout the year. These books are prepared under student
direction and at student expense, and are distributed free at the
beginning of Fall quarter by the Student's Association. SELF-STARTER The
"Self-Starter" is a book-let published by the Standards Committee of the
Women's League and is distributed to the entering women each fall. It is
to the women what the Blue Book is to the entire school. It tells about
the League, gives suggested wardrobes and ex-pense accounts, lists and
ex-plains the house rules for orga-nized houses, and lists various social
activities. In general, it is an excellent means for help-ing the new
girls to become ac-quainted with Normal life. DIRECTORY The Student and
Faculty Di-rectory is both a convenience and a necessity to every
Nor-malite. It is a complete list of both faculty and students, giv- ing
their respective addresses and telephone numbers. These directories were
distributed free of charge in the bookstore at the beginning of Fall
quarter. Sixty-five

Informals OUTSIDE INFORMALS The first Women's League Informal of the
year for Outside Girls was given November 8, in the Crystal Ballroom of
the Ho-tel Leopold. The pirate scheme of decoration was featured. The
Outside Girls' Winter In-formal was in the form of a Cin-derella Ball,
and was given in the Crystal Ballroom of the Ho-tel Leopold. A special
feature in decorations was a huge Cinder-ella clock which chimed at
reg-ular intervals. INSIDE INFORMAL "A glowing affair in a frigid
setting" was a phrase used to describe the Inside Girls' Infor-mal which
was given in Eden's Hall Blue Room, December 6. In keeping with its name
of "Frosty Frolic," the room was decorated by icy and snowy Christmas
trees and evergreen boughs and Eskimo furs and dogsleds, while pineapple
sher-bert was served from within a great white igloo. MEN'S CLUB
INFORMAL The only Men's Club dance of this year was given February 7, in
the Crystal Ballroom. Music was supplied by Sam Rathman's "Varsity
Vagabonds." W CLUB INFORMAL The Men's "W" Club Informal of November 21,
in the Crystal Ballroom, took the place of the Men's Club Fall Informal,
and was one of the most successful functions held throughout the year.
Football idea predominat-ed in programs and intermis-sion novelties.
Music was fur-nished by Sam Rathman. Sixty-six

Socials FROSH PARTIES The first Freshman dance was given November 15, in
the large gymnasium, and was ul-tra- modern in every detail. "Fu-turistic
Frolic" was the central idea, with decorations and col-ored lights to
lend "futurism" to the occasion. "Oriental Dance" sponsored by the
Freshman class Febru-ary 6, was very clever and col-orful. A glistening
"Buddha" in the midst of Japanese lanterns, cherry trees, weeping willows,
and fragrant Chinese incense furnished the atmosphere. SOPHOMORE PARTIES
The Sophomore class Fall party was given November 1. The party was in
the form of a masquerade ball, using the gyp-sy idea-everyone attired in
some form or suggestion of gyp-sy dress, and the gym was deco-rated with
maple leaves, carry-ing out the idea of Autumn. With the Valentine idea
pre-dominating, the Sophomores held their second dance party in the
large gymnasium Febru-ary 14. The program and artis-tic decorations were
the work of Earl Hutchins, general chairman. MIXERS Various mixers have
been held throughout the year on the average of once a quarter, and the
whole school gathers in the Big Gym for two hours of danc-ing in the
evening. It is held for the purpose of introducing new students to old
students and fac-ulty members. Sixty-seven

CAST FOR "TIlE PIGEON" The Pigeon John Galsworthy's most distinguished
comedy, "The Pigeon," was the summer presentation of the Drama Club. With
vivid symbolism, Gals-worthy brings upon the stage three derelicts:
Ferrand, a young French vagabond; Timson, a besotted old cockney cab
driver; Megan, a little flower girl of the city streets. What shall
society do with these? The an-swer is suggested by Wellwyn, an artist;
Sir Thomas Horton, a justice; Canon Bertley, a clergyman, and Professor
Calloway, a social scientist. The story is a complete study of diverse
personalities. For the first time in several quarters, Mr. V. H. Hoppe
returned to the stage himself, as Wellwyn, around whom the play centers.
Those who took part in the play are: CHRISTOPHER WELLWYN, an artist . . .

CAST FOR "BROKEN DISHES" Broken Dishes "Broken Dihes," a realistic comedy
of American home life, by Mar-tin Flavin, was presented by the Normal
Drama Club during the fall quar-ter. "The pathetic case of a hen pecked
husband" such is the theme of this modern Winter's Tale. The story happens
all in one bitterly, cold winter evening from six until midnight. In this
very short lapse of time many en- tertainingly humorous incidents occur in
the Bumstead home. The drama is a study of matrimonial unhappiness and
mismating tuned to the pitch of delightful character comedy. The local
drama club secured one of the first amateur releases of this play. The
members of the cast are as follows: JENNY BUMSTEAD MYRA BUMSTEAD MABEL

CAST FOR "THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE" The Devil's Disciple The presentation of
the "Devil's Disciple," a satire of the American revolution, was the first
of George Bernard Shaw's plays to be given by the Normal Drama Club.
Richard Dudgeon, the Devil's Disciple, revolts from the strict, puritanic
ideals of his parents and as a result is consider-ed a wicked and godless
individual. In this play the author carries no po-litical thesis, but is
more interested in showing the psychology of charac-ter. The new settings,
new lighting effects, costumes, together with much swift action and an
involved plot made the play very interesting, while the manner in which it
was produced was well up to the standards of the Drama Club's offerings.

CAST FOR "BERKELEY SQUARE" Berkeley Square "Berkeley Square," John
Balderston's three act fantasy, was the last of the Drama Club
presentations of the season. It is based on the theory of the relativity
of time. The hero, Peter Standish, achieves a freedom which allows him to
go in his own body back to the eighteenth century London, where, in the
guise of his grandfather, he courts, Kate Pettigrew. Peter's strange
remarks and his ability to read the future make everyone fear him, except
Kate's younger sister, Helen, with whom he falls in love. Not finding the
beauty, wit, elegance, and charm which he imagines ex-isted then, Peter
returns to modern life, with an eternal memory of Hel-en's love. The

Artists' Course The concert series of the Musical Artists' Course for the
past season offerel a splendid opportunity to the music lovers of
Bellingham and to the Normal students to hear several world-famous
artists. The concerts are held under the auspices of the Bellingham
Women's Music Club and the Normal School. They have been well supported
during the season. The series was fittingly opened with the presentation
of Corneluis Van Vliet, Dutch cello virtuosa. Mr. Van Vliet is favorably
remembered by those who heard him when he appeared at an assembly last
year. Cello soloists are rarities and Mr. Van Vliet is the first artist of
this particular instrument ever to be presented in concert in Bellingham.
He was ac-companied at the piano by Miss Edith R. Strange. At the
following concert November 17, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Rob-ertson were
presented in a recital of music for two pianos. The feeling for
interpretation was such by these two artists that it sounded as though
only one person was playing. Both artists have a splendid reputation in
Europe and are making a name for themselves in the United States as piano
recitalists. Marion Anderson, gifted young colored singer, was presented
in con-cert, January 7. Miss Anderson is acclaimed as possessing one of
the great contralto voices of our generation. It has enormous range and
rich throaty timbre. Her varied program was well calculated to show the
un-usual scope, the splendid flexibility, the power, and the rare beauty
of her voice. Both diction and enunciation were admirable. Seventy-two

The celebrated lyric soprano, Claire Dux, appeared March 13, capti-vating
her audience by the ease and skill with which she reached the high,
difficult notes. The noted artist thoroughly delighted local music lovers
with her unique art and charmingly obliged her listeners with sev-eral
encores. She is of Polish nationality. Her debut was made at the Royal
Opera in Berlin with Enrico Caruso. She has often sung for Euro-pean
royalty and triumphed here in the United States with the Chicago Civic
Opera Company. With Albert Spalding's appearance on the evening of April 9,
the Musical Artists' Course closed for the season. This concert was a
memor-able finale for the series. Spalding is acknowledged as one of
America's great violinists. Accompanied by Andre Benoist, the violinist
presented a varied program of classical selections. He displayed
remarkably fine technique and ease of interpretation. Spalding's
appearance here was received by a warm and enthusiastic audience. He is
not only highly praised in America, but has a larger following in Europe
than any other American artist. Assemblies Lectures, musical recitals,
drama, and student body activities con-tributed to the wide variety of
programs in the assemblies. The students of the Normal are fortunate in
hearing many noted artists and lecturers within their own school through
the efforts of the school officials to bring to them only those who are
most worthwhile. Among the many musical programs, those especially
deserving of mention are Ethel Leuning, gifted lyric soprano who has
achieved wide-spread fame; Valeria Post, young operatic and concert
soprano, who delighted her listeners by presenting "bits of opera" from
various lands. The Neak- Kah-Nie String Quartet offered an outstanding
performance. Three noted pianists, Katherine Bacon, Margaret Hamilton from
New York, and Susie Michael, Western pianist, appeared in very commendable
recitals during the year. A violinist of national fame, Viola Wasterlain,
made a most favorable impression with her audience. In the group of
lecturers came Stoddard King, poet and philosopher, who entertained his
audience with rhymes that he, himself had written. William Finley as he
presented "Wild Animal Outposts" was one of the most interesting,
educational and unusual of assemblies enjoyed by the students this year.
Muriel Draper, New York author and lecturer, spoke on "A New Philosophy
for a New Age." Miss Draper, who showed a won-derful command of language,
described as foolish much of today's psy-chology and scoffed at the
cataloguing and cross-sectioning of so called artists. V. L. Granville,
famous English actor gave a dramatic recital, "Dramatic Interludes," which
was an unusual treat. Mr. Granville com-bines the facility of a quick
change artist with genuine dramatic power. Aided by impressionistic
lighting, he donned and divested himself of roles with ease. A series of
lectures on music appreciation were conducted by Harold B. Smith, head of
the music department, and were of value to the students in assisting them
to appreciate the musical programs and concerts during the year. A number
of one act plays presented in assembly by the Play Production Class were
always popular with the student body. "The Christmas Story," given in
tableaux and pantomime by the Normal Training Department was of much
interest. The beautiful scenes and the Christmas songs gave the students
the real significance of Christ-mas. Seventy-three

Extemporaneous Contest The purpose of the extemporaneous contest has been
to encourage public speaking in the school and to aid the students to
appreciate clear, interest-ing speaking. The extemporaneous con-tests
originated in 1926-1927 and since that time have been a yearly event. Any
student who so desires is eligible to en-ter the contest. He may choose
his own subject from an approved list on which he prepares a five minute
talk. In the preliminaries six speakers are selected who appear before
the assembly. The two speakers ranking highest from this group have the
right to compete with the two winners from each quarter in the finals at
the end of the year. The winner of the finals has the honor of having his
name engraved on the silver loving cup, of which he becomes cus- todian
for the following year. Quentin Quick was judged winner of the final
extemporaneous contest held last June 3. Helen Fitzwater and Louise
Lilienthal tied for second place. Mr. Quick's topic was "The Hardest Job
in the United States." Helen Fitzwater spoke on "This Modern Boredom" and
Louise Lilienthal on "Let the Eagle Scream." Other contestants and their
topics were: Eleanore Langworthy, "Cannon Fodder"; Charles Gerold,
"Hysteria of War," and Bertha Altose, "Why Have Human Static?" Mr. Quick
was the first man to re- Quentin Quick ceive this honor, the former
winners all being women students. The winners of the cup for the
preceding years were June Wetherell, 1927; Margaret Hill, 1928, and Joy
Efteland, 1929. The extemporaneous contest has greatly stimulated public
speaking in the school and the current topics help give a new viewpoint on
prob-lems of national interest. This year the three preliminary contests
have been eliminated and the finals will be held at the end of spring
quarter. Seventy-four

Debate The heaviest schedule ever attempt-ed by the Normal debaters was
carried out during this year's debate season. Teams which were new on the
Belling-ham schedule were Pacific University, Oregon State College and
Linfield Col-lege. No tryouts were held this year, but the candidates
were enrolled in a de-bate class which made them eligible for any
inter-collegiate contest. This sys-tem, which is gaining favor throughout
colleges and universities, eliminates the unsatisfactory aspect of the
tryout sys-tem and substitutes a method by which the speaker may be
judged over a pe-riod of time. Another innovation this year was the
abandonment of the old type of debate and the substitution of the
cross-exam-ination and no decision debates, this being the first time
that the policy of cross- examination has been adopted. Another chief
feature of this season's debate was the men's debate tour into Oregon,
the first of its kind ever under-taken by the Normal teams. "Resolved
that the United States should adopt a policy of free trade," was the
question selected for debate by the Normal and by other colleges
throughout the country. Those representing the Normal School in
interscholastic debates were: Men's affirmative team, James Butler,
Roger Reed, and Charles Gerold; Men's Butler Stephens negative team,
Quentin Quick and Or- hom pson Quick Reid Taylor vin Ryan; Women's
affirmative team, Wessler Gerold Bessie Taylor, Marie Wessler, and Ma-
Carrell Langworthy rion Stephens; Women's negative team, Eleanore
Langworthy, Esther Schindler, and Lois Thompson. The following schools
were debated by the men's teams: College of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran
College, University of Washington fresh-men, Centralia Junior College,
Oregon State College, Linfield College. The women's teams debated: College
of Puget Sound, Washington State College, Pacific Lutheran College,
University of Washington, and Centralia Junior College. Seventy-five

Surrounding the campus are numerous organized houses for girls of the
school. The houses elect officers and have house rules in the same manner
as Edens Hall. It has been the custom for a number of years for the
Women's League to present to the organized houses a banner of achievement
for the best record obtained in scholarhip and a banner for accomplishment.
In the Fall Quarter the scholarship banner was award-ed to Moutz's House
and the accomplishment banner was presented to Barrett's House. In the
Winter Quarter the scholarship banner was pre-sented to Barrett's House
and again McCullum's House received the accomplishment banner. These
awards tend to keep a higher standing in scholarly achievement in the
various organized houses which is a benefit to the school at large.

A CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EIGHTH GRADE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLASS Training School
The Training School, the laboratory in which student teachers learn to
adopt theoretical teaching to practical schoolroom work, includes the
Normal elementary school, and all the rural and city schools where stu-
dents are teaching. In the rural and city systems teachers are subsidized
to direct student teachers and supervisors are maintained. During the
fall, winter and spring quarters from one hundred and twenty to one
hun-dred and fifty students taught in the city schools in addition to
fifty who taught in the rural schools, receiving valuable experience in
meeting the problems of actual situations, such as they will find in the
schools where they secure positions. Ninety-five

KNIGHTHOOD-A SIXTH GRADE ASSEMBLY FOURTH GRADE WORK PERIOD Specialists in
technique prepare students for their work, while well trained teachers and
supervisors direct student instructors as well as the children in the
classroom. Free texts and an ample amount of supple-mentary reading and the
necessary schoolroom furnishings are supplied. A children's reading room,
equipped with reference books in connection with the circulation library,
afford an opportunity for a background of reading. The Normal School
departments of music, art, science, health, industrial arts, physical
education and home economics are at the service of the Training School.
For example, the art department gives the chil-dren artistic instruction.
The other departments also co-operate in a like manner, making the
elementary school the co-ordinating center for the theory and practice of
all of the so-called "special subjects." N inety-six

THIRD GRADE WOOL STUDY MODEL AIRPLANE BUILDERS Aside from the regular
schedule, projects are worked out in the dif-ferent divisions. This year
the kindergarten had as one of its projects the care of gardens in a plot
adjacent to the building. Enough flowers have been planted by the children
to supply the whole training school with flowers in the fall. Teas were
held during the year by pupils of the upper division. A silver tea, given
by the Service Club of the eighth grade, raised money for the Red Cross
fund. A Chinese tea given by the seventh grade came as a conclusion to
their study of China. The children were in costume and Chinese atmosphere
was created throughout. The mothers and stu-dent teachers were guests at
the tea. Ninety-seven

ELBONITA GARDEN STUDY KINDERGARTEN WORK PERIOD Every Friday, the
elementary school assembly is held, each grade taking its turn at
presenting a program. These programs, which accus-tom the pupils to
appearing on the stage and to expressing themselves before an audience,
are an outgrowth of classroom work. An assembly, in the seventh grade
representing the countries of the world through cos-tumes, folk songs and
dances and a flag decorated stage, is an example of the type of thing
being done. The Hour of Song provides the program for one of the spring
assem-blies, in which the children of the entire training school sing the
songs which they have learned during the year. It is a climax to the work
done by the music department. Ninety-eight

training school paper, which is published twice yearly, compositions,
poems, essays and stories which members of the Training School have
written are printed. Activities in which they have engaged are written and
published in it. The children look for-ward to its publication and work
with interest to have their literary efforts published. As a culmination
of the work done in physical education, comes Play Day, truly the
elementary school's day of play. This year the stu-dents of the rural
schools were invited to join the children of the train-ing school.

Ass't. Coach Gunn Coaching Staff The success of any athletic team depends
to a great extent upon the coaching staff. A tremendous responsibility is
placed upon the staff, whose function is to guide the athletic interests
of the school. The Bel-lingham Normal School may well be proud of the two
men heading its athletic department. Coach Sam E. Carver directs
activities on the football field, basket-ball floor, track and tennis
courts. A clever coach, Mr. Carver has worked with men and athletics his
entire life. Attending the University of Oregon, California and making a
special study of coaching at Leland Stanford University, the Viking mentor
is well versed in the art of phy-sical education. Royal E. Gunn, his
assistant and head baseball coach, is also an able leader and coach. He is
efficient in securing the unanimous co-operation of the men striving with
him to develop teams representative of the school. He has had much
experience in athletics, and both he and Coach Carver have produced many
championship teams during the period of their leadership of competitive
athletics at the Normal school. Campbell Yell Leaders Duyff One Hundred

experienced backs and Voris, Quick and Moe completed the list as linemen.
Other cogs in Coach Carver's ma-chine, who saw regular action dur-ing
the season were: Burich, Eac-rett, Swanson, and Brinkman in the
backfield; and Blanton, McNeil, Hopkins, Falkner, Sutton, Abbott,
Thompson and Campbell. Viking vs. Coast Guard Staging a brilliant rally
late in the second half of the game, Coach Sam Carver's 1930 football team
dropped its first opponent of the year, the Port Townsend Coast Guard,
14-6. Captain Wilder Quick Flowers One Hundred Two

Rated as the underdogs, the Navy held the Vikings scoreless the first
period. In the second period the Vik-ing team, befuddled by the
ground-gaining smashes of Allerdice and Cable, Navy backs, was caught
nap-ping near its goal-line when Aller-dice completed the ancient blanket
pass to Frodle for a touchdown. The Coast Guard led 6-0 at the half time.
Opening the second half the Vik-ings began to fathom the offensive
tactics of the Guardsmen and stopped dead any attempts in that direction.
Late in the second period Shelton, Normal back, intercepted a pass and
advanced to mid-field. Then followed a march down the field that did not
terminate until Burich slipped over for a touchdown and then converted to
place the Vikings in the lead. The Carverites did not score again until
but a few seconds of the game remained when Flowers, star half of the
Viking team, crossed the Navy line for a touchdown. Shelton con-verted,
ending the scoring for the day at 14-6, and giving the Vikings a victory
in their initial game of the season. Vikings vs. Oregon State Normal
Playing their first game in a light-ed stadium, the Bellingham Vikings
dropped their second start of the sea-son to the Oregon State Normal
School at Monmouth, 26-0. Oregon staged an effective offense, well
seasoned with trick plays which entirely baffled the Vikings during the
first half. Early in the game Brinkman McNeill Shelton One Hundred

-----------

Monmouth pulled a sneak play which resulted in a touchdown. This start-ed
the fireworks for the Oregon team and it scored repeatedly during the
first and second quarters. Each touchdown came as the direct result of a
spin or other deceptive play. The half ended 20-0 for the Oregonians. As
in the Navy game the week be-fore, the Vikings were unable to hit their
stride until the second half. The Normal team was scored upon but once
during the second half, the touchdown coming as the result of a blocked
Washington kick. Besides holding its tricky opponents to six points, the
Viking offensive machine wrecked havoc with the Oregon de-fense in the
third and last quarters. Headed by Flowers and Iverson, the Vikings
advanced no less than three times within the ten yard marker, but lacked
the necessary punch to score. Vikings vs. St. Martins A strong, heavy
team coupled with a smooth working Notre Dame of-fense spelled defeat for
the Vikings, 13-2, when they tackled St. Martins College on Waldo field.
Although outweighed and out-classed in nearly every department of the
game, the Vikings offered a stubborn resistance and threatened to score
on the heavy, fast Rangers several times. Using the Notre Dame shift to
per-fection, the Laceyites circled the Blue and White end for touchdowns
in the second and third quarters. Im- Moe Iverson Thompson One Hundred

hoff and Johannes looked very good for the visitors. Early in the last
quarter Burich and Flowers, Viking backs, advanced the ball to the
visitor's two yard line. The Rangers held for downs and on the next play
their punt was blocked behind the goal-line, giving the Car-verites two
points and their only score of the day. Before the fray ended the Vikings
had valiantly marched half the length of the field to within their
opponent's ten yard line and marked themselves as one of the scrappiest,
gamest teams that ever donned the moleskins for the Bellingham Nor-mal.
Vikings vs. Cheney Caught off their guard by a fast breaking criss-cross,
the Vikings were administered a 19 to 0 defeat by Cheney on Waldo field
in the eighth annual football game between the two schools. The game was
the main attraction of the Homecoming program. In the opening quarter
the Vik-ings took the ball after holding Cheney for downs on the five
yard line. A poor kick by Bellingham and two neatly executed passes
brought the Savages their first score. Morgan, the stellar back for the
Savages, broke away for an end run to the Vikings four yard line, and on
the next play toted the ball over for the second score. By making the
ex-tra point, Cheney led the Vikings 1.3-0 in the first quarter. Sutton
Burich Abbott One Hundred Five

Klipsun, 1931 - Page 106

Cheney's final touchdown was made in the last period through a nice
combination of power and trick plays. This evened the series between the
two schools, each having won four games. Vikings vs. Centralia Junior
College Entering the game with a deter-mined spirit and breaking open a
new bag of tricks, the Vikings wal-loped a fighting band of gridsters
from the Centralia Junior College, 20-7. The game produced the flash-iest
football the Vikings have played this season. Both teams used a snappy
style of game which featured trick passes long punts and some brilliant
run-ning, making the game more of a duel than the score indicated. Coach
Carver's machine did to Centralia what Cheney did to the Vikings the week
before-ran up two touchdowns in the first half to estab-lish a lead which
could not be broken down. Early in the second quarter, by means of end
runs and flashy line plunges, Iverson and Flowers carried the ball to the
five yard line. On the next play, Captain Wilder smashed through for the
first score. In the same quarter, Flowers broke through along the
sidelines and dashed 60 yards for another touchdown. Wilder grabbed a
blocked kick and packed the pigskin eight yards for Falkner Irby

the Vikings' final score, in the third period. The only Centralia
touchdown came as a result of a clever alterna-tion of power plays and
aerial work late in the final quarter. Vikings vs. College of Puget
Sound Conceded absolutely no chance against the strong College of Puget
Sound team, the Vikings knocked the dope bucket sky-high by holding their
highly touted rivals to a score-less tie. It was a hard fought game with
the Vikings given no chance against the big Red and White team. The
Vikings, however, gave the team its biggest scare of the season. Early in
the opening quarter Coach Carver's men advanced within the Logger ten
yard mark, but were unable to score. During the entire quarter the ball
see-sawed back and forth in the Tacoma team's territory. Just before the
half terminated, the loggers launched a terrific offensive drive which
was stopped only by sheer Viking stubborness on their one foot line.
During the third period both teams threatened to score, but were unable
to cross the goal-line. As the game drew to a close, the Viking offensive
machine led by Iverson, Flowers, and Wilder passed and smashed to the
seven yard line when the game end-ed, blocking a golden opportunity for
the Blue and White team to score. Campbell Voris Collier One Hundred

FOOTBALL MANAGERS Shaffer Osborne Vikings vs. Ellensburg Playing a
spectacular brand of football on a slippery, snow covered field, the
Ellensburg Wildcats crushed the Bellingham gridders 26-0. Rodeo field was
the scene of the battle which gave Ellensburg another Tri-Normal football
championship. The initial period was taken up with punts and a few plays.
Each team failed to gain yardage and the period closed without a score.
Recovering an Ellensburg fumble in the second quarter, the Vikings took
the ball down the field to the ten yard line, but could not drive through
for the touchdown. On a combination of end runs and line smashes, the
Wildcats carried the pigskin down the field for the only score of the half.
The game seemed to drag during the third quarter, with neither team
making gains of consequence. However, in the final period the Wildcats hit
their stride and on consistent long runs, piled up three touchdowns for
their 26-0 victory. VIKINGS IN ACTION One Hundred Eight

as a nucleus for Coach Carver's bas-ketball machine, and Campbell,
Flowers, Shelton, Skotheim, Sherman, Abbott, and later in the season,
Clark and Comfort, the Viking mentor developed a successful aggregation.
Although their record was not im-pressive, the Vikings played heady, fast
basketball through the entire season and lost only to remarkably strong
teams. The Viking hoopsters started the season by swamping Centralia Ju-
nior College. The following week, led by Rork and Thorsen, the hilltop
team dropped St. Martins in one of the roughest games of the year. The
Carverites hit a decided slump and were trounced by Ellensburg and Cheney
in the first Tri-Normal competition. The lone game was taken from St.
Michaels College at Yakima. The Cheney Savages nosed the Vikings out in a
close game with Dixon, Rork and Abbott starring. In the following game the
U. of W. Frosh took them into camp. The next night at Tacoma, the Vikings
staged a strong finish to nose out the College of Puget Sound. Coming back
home the Vikings were defeated by the Ellensburg Wildcats. The following
week the Viking hoopsters came through with the biggest thrill of the
season by holding the mighty U. of W. Frosh ma-chine to a ten point lead.

with the Vikings dropping the games with the Junior College. In the final
game of the season, the College of Puget Sound took the game by holding
the Vikings well nigh scoreless. Super Varsity With eight victories and
three losses to their record of the season, the Supers finished high in
the class "A" City League. The team played consistent basketball
throughout the season and developed some promis-ing material for Coach

Abbott Iverson Gravrock Early season rains played havoc with turnout, but
with better weath-er in the middle of April the team gradually took shape

stronger than others. H. McCleery and Leaden are expected to do most of
the receiving. Iverson, Leatha and Blanton will pitch. Thorsen is on
first, Campbell on second, Abbott short, and Comfort is holding down
third. John Dixon, Jim McCleery and Wooten, a new man from Whitman, are
in the outfield. St. Martins College furnished the first opposition for
the Vikings. Coach Gunn's diamond artists showed plenty of strength but
lost, 4-5. The remainder of the games included tilts with College of

Flowers Duyff Davis Jones Track Resume Welcomed by ten letter winners and
a very promising array of green material, Coach Carver expressed high
hopes of producing a successful and outstanding team for the 1931 track
and field season. Well fortified in the distance and middle-distance
events, and with great expectations of a conference record in the mile
and 880, and per-haps a near record performance in the 440, the Vikings
had hopes of roll-ing up a big share of the Blue and White score in these
events. In the sprints and hurdles the Frosh stepped out, displaying their
ability to the satisfaction of everyone. Very strong in the jumps and pole
vault, the Viking entrants made up for a slight, early season weakness in
the weights, which was expected to be remedied as the season progressed.
In their first meet of the season, the Bellingham mentor sent on the field
a promising looking squad of tracksters who downed their ancient rivals,
the College of Puget Sound, 69-61. The meet was featured with excellent
time in the distance events, hurdles and good marks in the jumps. Other
meets in which the Vikings were to enter was a dual affair with the U. of
W. Frosh and, closing the season, the Tri-Normal meet with Cheney and
Ellensburg Normal Schools. One Hundred Fourteen

Hedger, Berenstein, Irby, Fresk, Gable, Houghton, Gissberg, Rork Tennis
Through means of a ladder tournament eight men have championed their way
to gain recognition on the Viking tennis squad. The Viking hopes this year
are centered around Jim Rork, the only veteran to report this season. Rork
is present holder of the Tri-Normal championship in the singles, and
shares with a former Viking the honors for winner of the Tri-Normal
doubles. Two of Rork's promising assistants are Hedger and Berenstein,
both former prep team-mates of Rork. All three of these men are smooth,
consistent players, and are Normal's leading contenders for
inter-colle-giate competition. This trio, and Roland Gissberg, have been
chosen to meet with the College of Puget Sound racqueters at Tacoma on May
2. Other competitiors on the squad who may see action in meets this year
are: Houghton, Fresk, Gable and Irby. On May 5, the Vikings visited Mount
Vernon Junior College for the second match of the season and on May 12,
the Mount Vernon team played a return match in Bellingham. The College of
Puget Sound ag-gregation journeyed to Bellingham on May 16, to repay their
match. The Vikings defenden their Tri-Normal championship titles at
Ellens-burg, May 23. One Hundred Seventeen

Weythman Horton George Jewell Women's Athletics Under the skillful
directions of the coaches, women's athletics scored another successful
year. Ruth Weythman, head of the physical education department for women
deserves much credit for the success of girls' sports. She made a trip to
Spokane in April to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire Educa-tional
Association, where she acquired much new information concern-ing the
teaching of physical education. Mildred Jewell, in addition to coaching
various sports, directed a dance recital which was the outgrowth of the
girls' interest in natural dancing. Mass effects and solo numbers, both
were featured in the fes-tival given on May 7. Marjory Horton introduced
the sport of horse-back riding into the extra-curricula activities. This
proved to be a popular diversion for girls aspiring to honors as
equestriennes. Miss Lillian George again directed hiking activities and
started the "breakfast-hikes" which were an enjoyable feature of the
outings. SWEATER WINNERS Wiberg, Bresnan, Smith, Petersen, Williams One

Badminton Natural Dancing Sport Resume Sports have become a very vital
part of the feminine activities of the school. Almost every girl
participates in some type of sport during her Normal career. Among the
athletics in which the women may indulge are: hockey, soccer, basketball,
volley ball, badminton, serve us ball, tennis, golf, handball, swimming,
archery, baseball, and hiking. Every girl who turns out for any one or all
of these sports has gained something aside from the mere action required
in playing the game. She has acquired an understanding of co-operation, a
spirit of fair play, and a respect for the rights of others which can only
be gained by contact with others in a congenial atmosphere. Sportsmanship
is the goal for which each girl is striving. Leadership is another trait
which finds ex-pression and may be developed during turnouts. Hockey

FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Klinski, Meredith, Sleasman, Harris, Hall Swick,
Zaddack, Petersen, Burke Wirsing, DeWitt, Tarbox, Ordal Wiberg, Thompson,
Waham Soccer Since its introduction into the sports program of the
Women's Athletic Association in 1926, soc-cer has been a popular activity
with the girls. Although there is much hard and intensive effort
necessary to play the game, all those who turn out for the sport enjoy
it. Drib-bling, kicking, blocking, passing, and teamwork are a few of the
es- sential techniques the girls work hard to acquire. The ultimate goal
of each par-ticipant is a place on the All-Star team. An intermediate
step, how-ever, is the membership on either the Sophomore or the Freshman
class team. Qualifications neces-sary to make these teams are:
sportsmanship, teamwork, and all around good playing. In order to make
the All-Star squad one must have these attributes to the nth degree.
Even though the elements seem-ed ranged against them and rain, wind, and
mud appeared to hold sway over the field most of the season, a large
group of girls turn-ed out faithfully each Tuesday and Thursday
afternoon. Miss Marjo-ry Horton coached the sport. In addition to playing
the regu-lar intra-mural games the girls' team of the Normal school met
and defeated the All-Star team of the Training School. The All- Stars,
coached by Flash Dixon and Ginny Carboneau, accepted the challenge made
by the Normal Girls to prove which was the stronger team. It was decided
that the winner of two out of three games should be the champion. The
final decisive battle was fought on Armistice day. It was a hard, fast
game played on a mud-dy field. The girls won the contest with the final
score of 6 to 0. One Hundred Twenty

FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Tarbox, De Witt, Carmichael, Price, Meredith Zaddack,
Burke, Petersen, Williams Hall, Grue, Harris, Top, Greaves, Klinski Swick,
Waham, Wiberg, Bresnan Hockey "Where is my pet stick? I want a shin
guard. Whee! Watch my speed today!" were some of the cries heard in the
large gymna-sium last fall quarter as the fresh-men and sophomore girls
prepared for hockey practice. Much interest was manifest in this outdoor
sport. Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon a large group under Miss
Mildred Jewell, coach, turned out on Waldo field for this excit-ing and
comparatively new wom-en's sport to be fostered here at Normal. Speed and
quick thinking were the essentials in the Waldo "sea of mud" and fully a
score of energetic and wide-awake girls participated loyally throughout
the quarter. Hockey one, hockey two, hockey three and they were off
flashing (or brandishing) clubs, dribbling, passing, and making a rush
for the goal. To the spectator there was unusual speed displayed in
pass-ing the ball from one end of the playing field to the other.
Every-one within the radius of the tilt was keyed up from the time of the
first whistle to the end of the game. Co-operation and team work were
factors which made the hoc-key season a successful one. Of course these
forces are necessary in any team game, but especially so in hockey.
Although there were often made-up teams for variety's sake, the more
important teams were the Shindigs and Rinkeydinks. An All-Star team was
picked by the coach and class letters were awarded to those who placed on
it. One Hundred Twenty-one

FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Wirsing, Grue, Top, Glenn Smith, Petersen, Wiberg
Dotson, Tarbox, Shudshift Waham, Stickle Basketball Basketball is the
most popular of all winter sports with the wom- en as well as with the
men. Al-though there are no inter-colle-giate games as in the case of the
men, there is still just as much vital interest in the sport. Under the
skillful direction of the coach, Miss Mildred Jewell, the basketball
turnouts developed some good fast players of the ever-fascinating game.
Much practice was necessary, of course on drib-bling, passing, shooting,
and guarding before even a semblance of a team could be considered.
However, the girls appeared regularly each Monday and Wed-nesday
afternoon and after much drill on the technique of the game it was
possible to choose Sopho-more and Freshmen teams by the last half of the
quarter. In addition to displaying their development of the skills
required in basketball, the girls also dis-played much co-operation and
teamwork in the intra-mural games. A special feature of the Wom-en's
basketball season this year was the hoop league which con-sists of teams
sponsored by vari-ous clubs and institutions of the school. Teams were
entered in this league from Edens Hall, the Thes-pian Club, the Vanadis
Bragi, and Outside girls. By the process of elimination the entrants were
finally narrow-ed down to the Thespian and Out-side girls' teams. It was
a fast game, exciting from the time the first whistle blew until the end
of the game. The Outside girls were the league winners. Everyone who
participated in or observed the basketball games this year declared that
they rep-resented a very successful cage season. One Hundred Twenty-two

BADMINTON VOLLEYBALL Hall, Fladebo, Wiberg, Rankin Sinnes, F. Nelson,
Grue, Top, Williams, Hennings Guernsey, Shudshift, Bresnan Lundberg,
Fladebo, Bresnan, Greaves Badminton Recently introduced into the sports
calendar, badminton has since become a popular winter quarter sport with
the Normal women. Originally an English game, it has been adopted by the
United States in the last few years. This game is very similar to the
favorite American game of tennis. Both the technique of playing and the
scorekeeping are identical with that of the other net game. However, the
equipment is differ-ent than tennis. The player uses a long handled
racket to bat a feath-er shuttle cock over the net to the opponent. A
large group of girls appeared at the badminton practices which were held
on Tuesday and Thurs-day afternoons. Because of this large turnout Miss
Marjory Hor-ton was forced to pick six teams, including both singles and
dou-bles. A tourney was held and the winners of the matches were placed
on the class teams. Volleyball Pep and enthusiasm were the keynotes of
the volley ball season this year. The turnouts were large in comparison
with that of past years, although they were not as large as in other
sports. Coached by Miss Mildred Jew-ell, the girls learned the essentials
of the game and an appreciation of its educational and social val-ues.
Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon found the girls in the large
gymnasium working out the techniques of the sport or actually playing it.
According to all the predictions it was expected that the Sopho-mores
would carry away all the honors in the inter-class games. However, the
playing of the Freshmen showed marked con-trast to that of the
Sophomores. With the winning of two out of three games the Freshmen were
declared the winners of the cham-pionship. One HIundred Twenty-three

Thompson Serve Us Ball Serve us ball is a sport not only of interest to
Normal students, but to students in the training school. For those in the
training school the game is simplified, but much interest is nevertheless
displayed toward it. This sport was coached by Miss Mildred Jewell and
turnouts were held for Normal girls on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
From the ranks of the Fresh- men much good material was found for a team.
There was a large group of them working hard to learn the game and to
earn a place on the team. The Sophomore women athletes did not turn out
as well, but those who appeared were good material for a class team. In
spite of the scarcity of Sopho-mores, two teams were chosen and several
intra-mural games were played. Swimming An ever popular activity with
girl athletes of the Bellingham Normal is swimming, which is coached by
Miss Marjory Horton. Although no Helene Madisons were discovered among
those who turned out, two teams were chosen and several aquatic meets
staged at the Y. W. C. A. tank. The sophomores, because of their
experience, had the edge on the freshmen this year, but much of the new
material showed prom-ise for the team next year. Unlike past seasons,
there were no meets scheduled with other col-leges in the state and only
intra-mural competition filled the aquatic world. The regular Thursday
evening splash hour proved as popular this year as in previous years. The
Y. W. C. A. pool was full each Thurs-day evening with aspiring mer-maids
from the Normal. One Hundred Twenty-four

Thompson, Wirsing, Sleasman Waham Speedball The fast-moving, highly
orga-nized game called speedball seems to be an intriguing one for many
of the Normal girls. The combina-tion of football, basketball, soccer,
and even baseball makes this the most complicated and speedy of all the
games on the feminine sport calendar. Mental and physical alertness are
necessary in playing this game. It is impossible for a slow-moving,
slow-thinking individual to compete in this active sport. Girls must be
fast-thinking and fast-moving to truly play the game. Teamwork and
co-operation are of supreme importance. No one for the good of the team
can play as an individual, but must play only as a cog in the machine
which is the speedball team. Freshmen and sophomore teams for the
intra-mural games have not yet been chosen. However, with such a large
group of girls turning out it should be quite easy to pick fast, smooth
running teams from both the first and second year competitors. Speedball
is a new sport on the list of women's athletics. Put on the sport
schedule recently it has become one of the most popular games with the
women. Under the direction of Miss Marjory Horton, turnouts are held on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. A large group of girls appear regularly
for work and play at this time. One Hundred Twenty-Five

Sehome Hill, as a background and Robin Hood, nee Miss Mildred Jewell as
director, the Merry Women of the Normal school are fast becoming
proficient archers. "Practice makes perfect" ac-cording to the old adage
and the Viqueen archers practice faithful-ly and diligently each Tuesday
and Thursday afternoon in an attempt to reach the perfect stage. Some of
those who are turning out for the sport are all ready quite accurate and
hit the bull's eye a fair number of times. Others are learning control
and marks-manship very rapidly and each day finds an improvement on the
score of the previous one. Later in the season, archery teams will be
formed from the Sophomore and Freshman aspi-rants. In order to do this a
ladder tournament will be staged and those who reach the higher rungs of
the ladder will place on the teams. Golf "Oh, the dirty little pill
Went rolling down the hill And rolled right into the water." Such is the
theme song of the girls who turn out for golf, as they trudge mile after
weary mile in pursuit of the "dirty little pill" which bounds
nonchalantly over the beautiful green fairway. Directed by Mr. Charles
Con-don, professional at the Lakeway Golf and Country Club, golf is the
popular sport of many girls who turn out in an effort to learn the game.
Even the well- known miniature golf does not detract from the in-terest
and attention which the girls expend on the sport. Swings, strokes,
stances and all the finer techniques of the game made fam-ous by Bobby
Jones, are of vital interest to every one who is turn-ing out. Those who
are turning out for the sport are: Iola Grue, Eloise Rankin, Elinor
Anderson, Gladys Smith, Lois Thompson, Jessie Haddow, and Dorothy Price.

TENNIS HANDBALL Sablocki, Nelson, Nairn, Klinski, Sinnes, Esleby
Hilburger, Shudshift, Bresnan, Rankin Brandt, Smith, Johnson, Wiberg,
Jacob, Logan Tennis Tennis is again one of the ma-jor sports of the
spring quarter. In this country in which it never gets really too hot to
play all through the summer, almost every one at least attempts to play
the game. Muscles are still stiff from dis-use during the winter months.
But with the continued good weather every one has a chance to limber up
and develop the techniques of the game. Some of those who are turning
out show good form already and with such a wide variety of play-ers there
is promise of many in-teresting matches later. Although the girls do not
have inter-collegiate meets there is al-ways much competition within the
tennis turnout itself. Competition took place in the form of a ladder
tournament. At the time the Klipsun went to press, Sigrid Wiberg was at
the top of the ladder and Guy Smith was second. Handball The back of
the grandstand on Waldo field seemed to have a strange and unaccountable
attrac-tion for some of the feminine ath- letes of Bellingham State
Normal School during the spring quarter. Upon further investigation it
appeared that practice in the game of handball was being held there every
Monday and Wednesday af- ternoon from four o'clock until five. Under the
skillful coaching of Miss Marjory Horton, the girls de- veloped speed and
accuracy in the game in which these abilities are essential. When speed
and accuracy are a part of the player's technique, handball becomes a
fast-moving and thrilling game; a fact which was ably illustrated by the
girls who played during the spring quarter. The handball courts were the
scene of many interesting matches played by the girls. After a num-ber
of these contests singles and doubles teams were chosen by the coach.
