The fourteenth of April, 1865, witnessed the death of the grandest man this country has ever produced, when in the briefest instant of time, a maddened actor cut the life thread upon which hung the hopes of millions of people. Four years previous to this date, Abraham Lincoln had taken upon himself the grave responsibilities of the presidential chair. Never before in the world's history, had a nation been so sadly in need of a wise guide, and rarely in the course of ages had the world produced a man so ably fitted to fill the place. For years the ship of state had sailed an unruffled sea, increasing in wealth and power. Now the clouds which for years had hovered near the horizon rose black in the sky. But when the storm broke with its resistless fury, a strong hand was at the helm and despite bitter revilings of public opinion the stanch vessel was guided safely past the rocks and into calm waters. The preservation of the Union under the circumstances was a task of supreme difficulty; and of all historical characters Lincoln alone was capable of the work. Herein lay the secret of his success: "My paramount object is to save the Union and not either to save or distroy slavery." Some people have called him the greatest ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger man t h a t ever lived. But in fact he is not to be compared with any other. He belongs in a class by himself. Let us be content with this fact; he was the most individual man that ever lived. In the words of Morse, "Let us take him simply as Abrahm Lincoln, singular and solitary as we all see that he was; let us be thankful if we can make a niche big enough for him among the world's heroes; and there let him remain forever, lonely as in his strange life time, impressive, mysterious, unmeasured and unsolved. We of the west, who have lived all our lives surrounded by God's everlasting sentinels, the mountains, rarely stop to think of the fact that we are not equally impressed by the beauty of all of them. Only once in a while does a lofty peak rear its head above the others and stand out as a land mark for all who pass t h a t way. Thus it is with men. A vast multitude of them are just ordinary mountains, but here and there we find one with a mind broad enough and heart full enough to cause those round about him to shrink in comparison. Such a man was Washington. Reared in the country, growing up under the watchful eye of a christian mother, the awkward lad developed into a noble American man. A temper he had, truly, and some say that it was not well controlled; that during outburts of anger he was exceedingly profane, but let us remember that a man who is incapable of anger is worth very little; that no man ever lived who had more to vex him than had Washington. When he did such noble duty during our long struggle for independence, at the end of that chaotic siege, "One of the greatest of the world's great men consecrated himself anew to the service of his country and entered upon the duties of giving Hfe and vigor to the new government of a nation." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 Washington was the first great American, and no better example can be found for future great Americans to follow than "The Father of his Country." Z. I. P. '06. AN INCIDENT OF 1863 BLACK OUTLINED against the vaulted sky rose the ragged edge of Arbor Hill. Autumn's lavish hand had touched the trees, ferns and grasses, giving them a gorgeous coloring with his finger tips of frost. Here and there a noble old pine tree reared its head reverently to a close touch with the fathomless blue above and seemed to look solemnly down on the little log cabin which hid in the valley below. The sun was just dipping over the crest of the hill as an old man scrambled through the brush and entered the path which led past the well and up to the kitchen door. "Yes" he said to himself, "I hate to do it but this infernal rheumatism has stiffened me so I can't go. Besides the lad knows the road as well as I do; only, how on earth is he going to carry that gold such a distance without being robbed? The country is full of those d guerrillas; night and day they prowl through these woods until this valley has become a den of thieves. Well, there comes the boy now. Where you been, Donald? Out in the back meadow? Well, come here. I want to talk to you." So saying he led his twelve year old grandson into the kitchen and closed the door. Then he explained quietly what he wanted done. He had just learned that a score or more of Union soldiers were lying in a dilapidated farm house some seven miles from the cabin, with scarcely enough to eat, to say nothing of delicacies and drugs so essential to the sick.- A slight skirmish had taken place in the neighborhood a few days ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger previous and these men being unfit to travel were left behind in charge of a physician. Grandad knew t h a t it would be worse than useless to try to send provisions, for the guerrillas never allow anything like that to pass. But he though that by sending money, food and drugs could be purchased by the farmer or his wife and thus avert suspicion. How to send the money was the question which puzzled the old man and caused Donald to thrust his hands in his pockets and whistle. Suddenly he sprang up and tossed his cap into the air as he exclaimed "I've got i t Grandpa! I've got it." "Well don't act like a fool, but lets have it," replied the irritated old man. The boy crossed the room and came close to his grandfather's side as he said in a low tone, "You know that old push cart with the broken handle? We'll put a double bottom in it and fill it with potatoes and you can nail the gold between the two thicknesses of boards and they'll never think of looking there." "Donald my boy you'll make a smart man some day," said the old man giving him a slap on the shoulder that made the youngster jump. "Come with me, now and we'll fix that old cart so t h a t you can get an early start in the morning." Just as the sun crept over the hills next day Donald started on his errand of mercy pushing before him a load of healthy Burbanks. His grandmother wanted to send some sweet brown bread and apple jelly to the homesick "boys in blue" but being finally persuaded that her kindness would be worse than wasted, she kissed her boy good-bye and he started off. Four miles he trudged happily along whistling a tune now and then or chirping to some gay bird which had delayed his autumn journey to a warmer clime. Suddenly on approaching the bridge which spanned the gulch a man sprang up from the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 roadside, a gun was leveled at his head and a voice commanded,"HALT!" Donald was no coward but when, a few minutes later he found himself surrounded by a rough guerrilla band his heart almost failed him. "Well sonny what have you got here? "Potatoes, by George! and dandies they are, too. We'll just relieve you of these my fine fellow." And without more ado the boy saw his grand-farther's fine potatoes dumped from the cart. They were no sooner out, however, than one of the men exclaimed, "Rodney, what yer doin' there; we can't pack those spuds anywhere. Take the cart and all and lets be out of this; you were a derned fool to ever unload 'em. "Well," said the other in a surly tone, " I had the job of taking them out; don't you ever think I'm going to put them back in." "Oh, give the boy his cart and lets be off," said their leader; so without more ado Donald was allowed to move on. He had not gone more than a half dozen yards when one of the men seized him with a cry, holding before his astonished view a twenty dollar gold piece. "Ah! Ha! you carry something more valuable than potatoes I reckon," exclaimed the leader and as the remainder of the gang again surrounded him the big burly brute stripped off the boy's clothes. Donald was terrified; he scarcely noticed how roughly he was being handled; his whole soul was filled with fear lest the treacherous crack which had given up one shining coin would let fall others. They searched for fully an hour, even ripping out the lining of his trousers to see t h at nothing had been concealed, but all of no avail. Seeing that the search was useless they shouldered their potatoes and disappeared in the woods leaving Don to dress at leisure. A very hungry tired boy crept into the little cabin that night and as he toasted his ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger shins by the fireside related to the indignant old couple his experience with the guerrillas. Z. I. P. THE STARS The angels light the lamps of heaven And hang them out on high, Where clear and bright, throughout the night They light the azure sky. They guard the sleeping world below, They guide the traveler's way With their soft glow, where ere he go Until the break of day. Then when the golden sun a t dawn Climbs up the crimson sky, Their work is done and one by one They fade away and die. J M. S. '08. The room is in disorder, There is a horrid din; What can be the matter? No critic teacher's in. Suddenly there is silence. Great interest now is shown; A stately lady enters And sits as on a throne. The children now are angels. The teacher's nervous though* For she, poor soul, is thinking That likely her cake is dough. —The Mankatoniam. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON EDITORIAL STAFF HELEN WHITNEY, 'o6 Editor-in-Chief ANNA CUTHBERTSON Associate Editor FLORENCE MONTGOMERY, '07 Literary LOTTIE FLEMING, '06 - - ) Locals EDNA HALLOCK, '05 - - i *«-» MARJORY SPRATT, '08, Y.

FEB.-MARCH, 1905 No. 5 EDITORIAL We were indeed disappointed in the nonappearance of Elbert Hubbard who was to have given for the fourth number of our lecture course, a lecture on "Roycroft Ideals." We know that it was no fault of the committee in charge of the course and trust that they may succeed in finding a number equally as good to take his place. On March 23, Ernest Seton Thompson comes as the fourth number on our course. Those who have heard him say that he is even more interesting, as a speaker, than as a writer. If his lecture proves as interesting as his stories there will be no cause for complaint. LITERARY SOCIETIES The societies have decided to begin a cow-test to see which can fanrisb the best programs. Bach society is to famish fowr pro*- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger grams of not less than six numbers or more than ten, each number to be given credits according to its rendition. The society which receives the greatest number of credits is to be entertained by the losing society. The present officers of the Sirius society are: President, Isabel McRae; vice-president, Grace Dickey; secretary, Elsa Anthon; treasurer, Myrtle Williams; sergeant-at-arms, Chas. Jones. Those of the Clionean society are: President, Judeth Hawes; secretary, Isabel Holt; treasurer, A. R. Moore; sergeant-at-arms, Minnie Osberg; reporter, Frankie Sullivan; pianist, Harry Raymond. Program committee, Edith Collier, Thomas Evans, Rossae Swartz, Susie Andrus, Kate White. The young men of the school met in Prof. Wilson's room, January 27, to organize a debating society. Messrs. Smith, Jones and Davenport were appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. A very appropriate name indicative of the object pursued was given to the society—Normal Debating Club. Although debating is maintained as the principle of our programs, they are not confined to this special sort of contest. Instead, occasionally some bright young fellow is called upon to make an impromptu speech on some subject familiar to the individual as "Love and Hatred," "Friendship," "The True Athletic Spirit." We mention these subjects because they were the initial impromptus. Mr. Smith handled the subject of "Love and Hatred," like a veteran giving evidence of less knowledge of hatred than love. Mr. Nichols on "Friendship" and Mr. Phelps on "The True Athletic Spirit" proved themselves indeed orators. The club has held weekly meetings since its organization and the interest shown in the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 first meeting has increased with each succeeding meeting. It is certain that if the interest continues to increase as it is now doing that the society is bound to grow numerically and intellectually. Our programs so far consisting of music, debates, impromptu speeches, recitations and essays, we believe have been interesting as well as helpful. The one given March 9 was: An address - Fred Johnson Impromptu. Debate—Resolved, That the sympathies of the United States should be with Japan in the Russo-Japanese war. Affirmative—N. Davenport and H. Smith. Negative~W. Nichols and A. Willard. An Invective on the Saloon - Chas. Pethran Essay . . . . Roger Williams Declamation - Leon Cory Song Society Our first president, Charles Jones, was suc-ceede by Noah Davenport. The members of the Young Women's Christian Association are glad to welcome all the students that the new semester has brought t o our school. We hope that they will lose no time in finding their places in the membership of the Association and the friendship that awaits them there. It is hoped that they will feel free to spend a social hour with us in the Association room any noon hour, or t o attend the Bible class held there by Rev. Yarney at the "students' hour" on Friday mornings or the one taught by Dr. Bowman in his recitation room at 3:30 on Friday afternoons. At the election of officers last week the following members were voted into the cabinet: President, Minnie Carver; vice- president, Ethel Cook; secretary, Walborg Olson; treasurer, Ethel Jones. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ATHLETICS With the arrival of spring days the interest has turned to out door games. The boys' attention has turned to base-ball and the girls' to tennis and boating. A boating club has been formed with Miss Hallock as chairman while Miss Sloan heads the tennis enthusiasts. Basket-ball games this year have been few and far between. The boys have had two games, both of them well played but whether they will have any more we cannot say. The only games played by the girles are those between the Junior team and the Bellingham High School team. Unless some playing is done soon between the class teams the Kline cup, for which the classes worked so hard last year will go back to the Kline Bros, who gave it on condition that the class teams contest for it each year. The Junior girls have a team but so far have found no other class team to play. It is to be hoped that something may be done soon to keep the cup in the school. The young men so far have made a good record in athletics especially in there foot-ball games last fall. Although the scores of the basket-ball games were not so favorable the work was good especially in their game with the Maroons. Considering what little time the boys have to practice they have done remarkably well. We expect to see good work from them in base-ball. AROUND SCHOOL Say not all t h a t you can say; hear not all that you can hear; believe not all that you hear, and whatever else you do, don't attempt to tell all that you know. Miss Bessie Robertson has left school to accept a position in the Port Townsend schools. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Miss Le Conte's "magic lantern show" of pictures taken in the Yosemite Valley was highly appreciated by the students. It was not quite a "sermonette," but the school is willing that it should take the place of one. Dr. Mathes visited Olympia during the recent meeting of legislature. A recent interesting talk in the series of talks given by members of the faculty was the one given by Dr. Moore on "The Birthright of the Child." At the beginning of the semester a new student appeared in room 24 and said that Dr. Mathes had sent her up to see Dr. Moore about her work. "Well what can I do for you?" asked Dr. Moore, coming out of her office. "Why, er-nothing, I guess, thank you," stammered the new student. "I prefer to speak with Dr. Moore himself." Two of our young men have gone from us and are no more. We are sorry to lose both Mr. Dunning and Mr. Potter. Mr. Dunning has secured a position near Sumas and with him go our best wishes for his success. Since the spring weather has begun Prof. Romine has been taking his class in nature study on short excursions near the campus. The faculty have a new fad—visiting country schools. The students are getting anxious to know if they are looking for better positions than they now hold or whether that is ust their way of getting in extra holidays. Miss H (in drawing class)—"Make a sketch rf your favorite animal." Mr. K — "Miss H, I-er-er-ah- I forgot ny mirror." Miss G—"May we sketch a man?" Dr. Bo wan (after days of drill) — "Where vas the contract theory originated?" Mr. Raymond—"I'm not sure, but wasn't it vith Adam and Eve?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Dr. B (patiently)—Was that before or after Rousseau?" From a member of the faculty: "Which is the more easier to understand?" Who said, "I didn't understand your question Dr. Bowman?" Dr. Bowman (expectantly)—"I didn't quite catch your answer. Miss M—"Poor man! Will he always be doomed to celibacy?" Why does Prof. Romine have such a happy exalted expression lately? Is it because"Hal-lelujah" is uppermost in his mind these days? Mr. Dunning (waxing eloquent)—"I tell you I had the typhoid fever so bad and I was that far gone that I could see over into the other world." We are still wondering which world it was for he didn't seem at all anxious for more than a look. One of the practice teachers in the primary department of the training school had been telling the children the names of the different stars and what they stood for. "Now, Ben-net, can you tell me what very bright star it was that led the three wise men to the manger where the Christ child lay?" "It was the star of Bellingham," replied little Bennet promptly. CLASS NOTES SENIORS The Seniors have received their pennants now and they are even prettier than we had hoped. Nearly everyone in the class has one. The beautiful red makes a good background for the figures '05 and the letters B. S. N. S The pennants add much to the cheerfulness of our rooms. Several new members have entered the class this semester. Miss Morgan, who attendee the school during the first year of its history ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 Miss Birdie Winchell and Miss Anna Hanne-bohl, who were members of the class last year. The new class pins have arrived and now where a Senior is found there likewise is seen the class pin. The pin is rich looking, fully justifying the price paid for it. The pin is the shape of a shield; the background is of black enamel, bordered with a narrow strip of gold and makes a rich setting for the letters B. S. N. S. and '05. The Senior class day "play" is under construction, the thesis are being written, credits counted, and dresses talked of (by some of the most certain ones) already and things begin to take on a final look. But woe! Some in the class have a fatal look already. What does it all mean? JUNIORS The Juniors are planning to give an evening entertainment in a few weeks. The program will consist of two farces, vocal and instrumental music and several readings. More definite announcements will be given later. Our class is sorry to lose one of our members. Miss Bessie Robertson, who is leaving school to teach. At a recent class election the following officers were elected: Pres. Alice McCullough, Vice-Pres. Helen Miller, Sec. Sarah Van Rey-jen, Treas. Frank Knight, Sargent-at-Arms jordon March. On the evening of February 9th a small but :nthusiastic crowd witnessed the defeat of the Bellingham High School basket ball team by gt;ur Junior team with a score of 13 to 8. tf iss Le Conte acted as chaperone going with he girls to the Armory where the game was gt;layed. Our line up was—forwards, An.ah jooch (captain), Anna Cuthbertson; center, ^lara Warriner; guards, Bertha Payne, Lena gt;mith; Manager, Mildred Wilson. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 February-March - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger BOOK REVIEWS Very few volumes have reached our desk this month, probably owing to the fact that our criticisms have been administered minus the sugar coat. We wish it thoroughly understood that any remarks we have to make are given in a helpful spirit and trust that they will be accepted in a kindly way. One of the best of the recent publications is entitled, "A Trip to the Portland Fair," written by the Seniors. The book has a neat little cover and not only gives good descriptions but is brimming over with the wit and wisdom for which the class is famed. Its only fault we think is its lack of unity perhaps due to the fact that it was written by so many writers. J. N. SELBY CO.

This museum is so numerous with living species that various schemes have been devised to discover and read the label card that each form invisibly but just as certainly carries with its living" structural self. Prime among these schemes have the deep-sea explorations sent out by institutional and governmental aid, and in later years, the sea-side or marine laboratories. Classic among the former are the United States exploring expedition of 1838-42 and the Challenger expedition of 1872-76. In this connection the Harriman expedition ta gt; Alaska in the summer of 1899 should not be omitted because of the value of its researches to the students of natural history Hying upon the Pacific coast. The conception of marine laboratories in the United States originated with Agassiz and materialized with the Peni-kese school located on an island by t h a t name. This school opened its doors to students in 187—, or rather its barn doors for the first American sea-side laboratory was conducted in an old barn. In due time the larger universities encouraged and secured the establishment of marine laboratories whose investigations should be devoted to the study of marine flora and fauna. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger There are four such laboratories upon the Pacific coast owned and operated by the Universities of California, Leland Stanford Junior, University of Minnesota and Washington. It will be readily seen t h a t the third named institution whose marine laboratory is located on the west coast of Vancouver island is at considerable disadvantage in marine work as compared with the three other institutions of the Pacific coast. Last summer the University of Washington marine laboratory was founded at Friday Harbor, on San Juan island. The location of the laboratory is ideal from the view point of diversity of organic forms due to environmental differences and isolation of the land masses of the archipelago. The laboratory work was under the auspices of the biological departments of the university of which Mr. Trevor Kincaid and Mr. Theodore C. Frye are respectively professors of zoology and botany. These gentlemen were untiring in their efforts to make the work a success. As yet no buildings have been constructed. In their stead the University rented some outbuildings upon the farm of Judge Warbass, a pioneer of San Juan island, who now lives in the identical house in which General Pickett made his headquarters when the latter was commander of the American camp during the joint occupancy of the United States and Great Britain. Judge Warbasse purchased and removed the house to its present situation in 1870. The students' headquarters consisted of tents brought with them. There were no dormitories and consequently no argus-eyed matrons. This made room rent quite cheap and profound hygienic snoring could take place with none to molest or to make the slumberer afraid. There was a common dining hall where the professors of capacious appetites met three times a day ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 around a well appointed table, and sometimes broke into the kitchen. In the calisthenics of wielding the dish rag the writer was frequently told that he was a jewel (which was doubtless another name for gold-dust) and in his credulous innocence he literally believes every word of it. On June 23,1904, the station was opened for students. Twenty-one were enrolled for the term of six weeks. These students were for the most part teachers in the various state institutions, colleges and high schools of Washington. However, two universities outside of Washington were represented. The students were a very industrious and orderly group and I do not recall a single instance of expulsion because of disorderly conduct or the occasional oppressiveness of the dog days. The work last year, as Prof. Kincaid said in his invitations to students, was informal and general. In a large sense it was exploratory, that is, different parts of the San Juan archipelago were prospected with the object of locating the place and range of prevailing types. At low tides the students went out in row boats to easily accessible points from the marine station and did shore work; in other words they collected those littoral forms •whose living zones are, broadly speaking, between low and high tide. One who has not collected natural history specimens can have ; little appreciation of the keen pleasure felt by one whose good fortune it is to secure some rare form. The rivalry that sometimes springs up in these collecting tours is as keen as it is interesting. At other times the student body went out in a launch to dredge in deep water. A launch accommodating 30 persons was chartered by the station. To this launch was lashed a large scow, in the rear of which was firmly fastened the dredging apparatus. The deep-sea dredge was let out on the bottom by a ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger long steel cable attached to a drum and after having dragged on the bottom for 15 or 30 minutes was drawn to the surface by means of a pair of windlasses at either end of the drum. In this dredge were caught many curious dwellers of the sea, such as fishes, tunicotes, crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms, hydroids, worms and algae. Securing the collections was a small matter compared with assorting and properly preserving them. After a day's dredging, it required the following day to get the specimens in good keeping form. # A great number of new species were found by the station party during its six weeks' deep sea work. These await classification. The wealth and beauty of marine life in the San Juan archipelago is more pronounced than that along our shores. The party and members of the party frequently found themselves in amusing situations while on excursions to the different islands but it is an old adage well worthy of observation here that no tales should be told out of school. A. P. R. PROVERBIAL ADVICE TO PRACTICE TEACHERS Fear not when thou meetest the supervisor in the hall, neither quake nor tremble for I say unto you she will do thee no harm whatsoever. Remove thy heels when thou walkest lest they bring thee to destruction. When thou goeth before thy class, be not as the cowards are, but stand boldly, with thy head held high, and all will be well with thee. , „ __ , When thou hearest the 3:20 bell on Wednesday, loiter not on the stairway, neither tarry in the halls but haste thee away to meeting, lest thy tardiness receive a well-merited reproof. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 The "verdant" practise teacher is wise in her own conceit; she had said in her heart, "There is nothing I do not know." But the critic teacher, who hath understanding search-eth her out and straightway maketh her miserable. If thou hearest evil of thy neighbor repeat it not for where there is no tale-bearer, strife cease th. When it falleth to thy lot to wash the boards and dust erasers even if thou art already tired and weary think not of thyself but go bravely to thy work wearing a sweet smile on thy worn features, for verily thou shalt receive thy reward. When thou beginest a new quarter and thy class begins to try thee, put on the armor of kind firmness and show thy class that thou art boss, then thy trial with discipline will vanish as mist before the sun. Greet the members of the faculty with all due reverence, for as thy soul liveth they will tolerate no undue familiarity. Z. I. P. THINGS THAT MAKE ONE SMILE Miss Le Conte making faces.

APRIL-MAY, 1905 No. 6 Since our last issue the last two numbers of this year's lecture course have come and gone. The first, Earnest Thompson Seton, who comes from the woods and the wild animals, lectured on, "Wild animals I have known." The last, so entirely different from the former, Mr.Barry, comes from the scenes of war in the Orient. His lecture which was especially interesting dealt with t h a t subject and being illustrated as it was, gave those who were so fortunate as to hear him, a better understanding of it than any number of newspapers could do. Extended improvements are being made on the campus which very materially affect the appearance of our school in general. One of the noticeable internal improvements on the building is the change in the library. The walls are now a dark green which is certainly restful to the eye. In the halls and in the gymnasium dressing-rooms are the new lockers, which are already in use and seem to have been a much needed addition to the school furniture. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 Something very much admired by visitors as well as by the students is the imitation stained glass window in the upper hall which was designed and made by Miss Hogle's drawing classes. We trust that a gentle hint will be all t h at is necessary. We should be very grateful if our readers would pay their subscription as soon as possible. The editor-in-chief is always ready to receive such donations. LOCALS Prof. Forrest spent the first week in April in the southern part of the state visiting teachers' institutes. New Student—"Miss Hays, which dictionary did you want us to use, the International or the Epidemic?" Miss Caroline Risedorph and Miss Effie Wheeler, members of the class of '04, who are both teaching in Seattle visited with us April 17. Miss Risedorph was visiting Miss Evans. Helen Andrews spent the vacation with her sister Mary who is teaching a t Granite Falls. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. On April 5 the faculty and students gathered in front of the school to have their annual picture taken, Prof. Eply performed the feat. Most of the members of the faculty are getting t o be master posers, though some are as yet unable to overcome their natural shyness. Prof. Stone found it necessary to carry Prof. Romine feet and all to a prominent position in front in order to get him into the picture at all. Miss Mabel Steen, '04, who is teaching at Anacortes, was one of our recent visitors. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger During a few days necessary absence of Miss Moore, her classes in music were very successfully conducted by Annie Drummond, of the Senior class. A new student in our halls is Mr. Mazum-dar, a native of India. Mr. Mazumdar is a Hindu and is in this country to study our language and civilization. He gave us a short talk upon arriving and we are looking foward to a lecture by him about his own far away country. Dr. Moore was recently called to Portland by bad news from home, but we are glad that she is again able to be at her work. This sorry world is sighing now, La Grippe is at the door; And many folks are dying Who never died before. We are all glad to note that Miss Ramsey is widening her vocabulary with such success, even if it does take the wind out of our sails once in a while. Dr. Mathes thinks it would be profitable if the members of our school would visit the Asylum for the insane at Steilacoom. Wonder why? "I'm to be Queen of the May, Mother, For I'm to be Queen of the May." Miss Isabel Mc Rae has been elected by the students to be "Queen of May" in a May party for which the Y. W. C. A. are now preparing. Details of the affair have not yet been announced but we know that it will be a. success and every one may be sure of a go.od time. Miss D. (pointing to picture of cat and kittens)—" Tommy, what color is this cat?" n Tommy—"She's the same color as the kittens." , Miss D. (hopefully)—"And what color are the kittens?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 Tommy—"Well they're just the same color as the cat." Miss D. (patiently)—"What color are all of them?" Tommy—"Why Miss D.,they're all the same color." The boys "masquerade party" was indeed a success. As a social affair in the school it furnished a great deal of amusement. The chief attraction of the evening seemed to be Miss Walda Wall as "Topsy." ATHLETICS BASE BALL The base ball team has so far this year played one practice game and two match games. The first game was lost by an accident to the pitcher after the boys had demonstrated their superiority by holding their opr ponents for five innings to a score of 1. In the second game which was with the same team, the South Side High School, our team won with a score of 10 to 5. The last game, on April, 14 was with the team from the Bay City Business College and ended with a score of 13 to 8. The "College" boys were good batters but their field work was poor. Our boys did some very good field work. Special mention should be made of the work of Walter Nichols who plays an excellent short-stop. One double play was made when Mr. Nichols put a man out between 2nd and 3rd bases and got the ball to first base in time to put a man out there. The Normal line-up was: catcher, Williams; pitcher, Goodell; 1st b. Petheran; 2nd b. Edmunds; 3rd b. Evans; s. s. Nichols; r. f. Phelps-Cory; 1. f. P. Miller; c. f. Whiteside. BASKET BALL HIGH SCHOOL—JUNIORS The first match game played by the girls this year was by our Junior team against ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger the Bellingham High School. The game was fast and furious from the beginning as both teams were determined to win. At the end of the second half the score was 7 to 3 in favor of the Junior team. Our line up was: forwards, Anah Gooch (captain), Anna Cuthbertson; center, Clara Warriner; guards Lena Smith, Berth Elda Payne. FACULTY—SENIORS Lovers of athletics witnessed the most unique basket-ball game ever played in the Normal "gym" last Friday night, when the Senior girls met and defeated an aggregation from the faculty. Loud cheers and uproarious laughter greeted the "facility" team as they filed onto the floor bedecked with green and chaparonedby the remaining "honorable heads of learning." The game from beginning to end was rather one sided but the general good feeling in the atmosphere made up for all deficiencies. The line up for the faculty team was: forwards, Miss Horner, Miss Hogle; center, Miss Tromanhauser; guards, Miss Hays, Miss Le Conte (captain); Subs. Clara "Warriner, Anna Cuthbertson. Seniors: forwards, Elsa Authon (captain); Ethel Birney; center, May Pillman; guards, Isabel Mc Rae, Myrl Hays. EXCHANGES Why don't you have an exchange column, "Review?" The "Comet" is certainly an excellent little paper but we think the advertisements should not be stirred in with the reading matter. The "Normal Outlook" contains one of the finest stories, in their February number, that we have ever seen in a school paper. Is the author of "Harry in the Front Seat and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Katie in the Other Row," too bashful to sign his name? The "Mankatonian" is undoubtedly a neat j paper but might be improved by a bright exchange column. "Wa Wa," Port Townsend, you are one of our best and most interesting exchanges. Your cuts are exceptionally attractive and your exchange column a joy to the beholder. | The "Kodak," from Everett, does not maintain the high literary standard which it held three years ago. Have all your writers "dis-i persed and wandered far away?" or are they napping? "Locals," in the "Mirror," is a very well written department. The editor must have a strong grasp on the student body of the school. The edito rial in the March number of the "Legenda"is a well written article applicable to every school. We wish to thank "Purple and Gold" for the compliment paid to us in their last edition. One of the recent numbers of "Normal College News" contained a tribute to "mother"' in sonnet form. We wish to thank you for the beautiful thoughts so simply expressed. "Wise Tiny Bay" in the "High School Tocsin" is well worth reading. MY FIRST OCEAN TRIP Some people have been known to sing with due appreciation "The Sailor's Life is the Life for Me," but I must confess that the song has little attraction for me. To be sure my first experience as a sailor was only a four day's trip from San Francisco to Seattle, but that was quite enough. Of course if one is desirous of meeting "heavy swells", why, an ocean voyage is the sort of social affair to attend. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger When we started from San Francisco, at about eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone was standing on deck laughing, joking and waving to friends on shore. Soon the waving handkerchiefs could be seen no longer and the dock looked to be only a speck in the distance. Then the purser having finished his rounds of the decks, we were permitted to go to our staterooms and, some there were who never appeared again until we reached port. I had supposed that I was very hungry when we started out but when the gong sounded for dinner I found my appetite had vanished, for I was beginning to experience my first sea-sickness and seemed to be carrying my heart in my mouth. The scenery on an ocean voyage is not remarkable for its variety, usually nothing more than a small tin can close a t hand. Quite a storm came up the second day out, the lower staterooms were flooded with water which came through an open porthole. Many passengers thought their last hour had come and wanted the life-boats lowered. No harm came of it however with the exception of some ruined carpets. We were not without entertainment on the trip for there was a party of Christian Endeavor delegates aboard who took possession of the piano and suggested that we all sing something familiar. One man of a gaunt, haggard appearance asked for, "I'm Living a Rag Time Life," while another called feebly from a couch to sing something appropriate, "Cast Thy Bread Upon the Water" for instance. When we reached the quarantine station, after passing through the straits, we were all herded into the dining-hall that we might be examined to see if anyone afflicted with Bubonic plague was among us, for ever since the scare over the "plague" in San Fran- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 Cisco's Chinatown the British government has quarantined boats before allowing them to enter the harbor at Victoria. A trim little steam launch came puffing alongside our boat, a nice little Englishman, with trousers turned up and a cigarette in his mouth came aboard. "Good morning, Captain." "Hello Doctor, how are you?" "Fine, fine. Have a good trip?" "Roughest in two years." "Fancy now; is t h a t so!" Meanwhile the passengers were filing out of the dining hall. The doctor looked at each one in a careless way from a distance of about twenty feet till all had passed out. Then:"Well, so long Captain, hope you'll get t o pawt alright." And this is the way the British possessions in North America are protected from Bubonic plague and small-pox. Shortly after leaving the quarantine station we reached Victoria, and as most of us had never been there before we went ashore and "took in" the town. The queer grass-grown streets looking like country roads hardly corresponded with the splendid Parliament building. The whole place had an air of placidity I hardly expected to see in the capital of British Columbia. When it was time to go back to the boat we boarded a street car and immediately there was held out to us a small camera-like affair which we finally discovered was for our fares. The next stop was made at Port Town-send. The "Senator" a large steamship from Alaska had come in to the dock a short time before us. She had meet with terrific storms and had been at sea for many days unable to reach port because of the breakdown of some machinery. By the time we reached town not a thing t o eat could be bought, for the provisions on the Senator had given out a few days before ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 April-May - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger and everything eatable in town had been purchased by the ravenous passengers. Toward evening of this same day we distinguished the lights of Seattle and knew our journey was at an end and although we had made many pleasant acquaintances in the few days that we had been on the water, we were glad we had reached our destination.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, the world's immortal poet has very fittingly put these words into the mouth of Anthony when delivering Caesar's funeral address. This is the true sentiment of a faithful, human heart when it finds its vanquished friend is slighted by those who were once loud in their applause. This is the sentiment which every worthy child of Mother India—the mother of the world's civilization—will express when his motherland is spoken of in an insulting term and tone. There is no denial of truth that she is to-day politically fallen, losing her independence and glory, at the same time it must be admitted without contradicting that fact, that she has still retained some of her noblest traits of character which the nations of the world may well imitate. The fact that India was once great and civilized; that she had regular systems in her social and political instiutions as good as can be seen in any modern civilized country is gradually and daily passing beyond credit. Still it is a fact, nevertheless. She had a system of education for her once proud children though according to some of the modern writers they have been mercilessly called the semi-barbarous people of Ganjetic Valley. Yes, it is a fact that a system of education prevailing in the past was quite different in nature to that of the present as the time and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger demand of it were quite different. Consequently it would not be considered fair play if we judged it by our modern criterion. Notwithstanding the fact some of its phases will appear in no way inferior to the modern improved system if they are put side by side for comparative study. If we are to quote the modern and most reliable authorities who are known to have studied history scientifically we will find t h at the Hindoo civilization has been standing for six or seven thousand years. Civilization which has stood for such a long time cannot fail to awake the interest of the thinking world and cannot be without culture and knowledge. This culture must be based on a system or systems. From the dawn of Hindoo civilization down to a period five hundred years ago there was a sj^stem of education modified here and there according to the demand of the times, but to the same end always. To understand that we are to prepare ourselves so that we may be always conscious not to fall into misjudgement, for we are talking of ancient India, of a time when the dawn of European civilization was far remote in the future. It was the custom with the Hindoos to send over their children at the age of five to a preceptor's house to be trained and educated in almost all useful branches of art and industry so that they might prove worthy citizens of their country. The pupils lived here in their adopted home for twenty years before they returned to their parental shelter as accomplished scholars, physically, morally and spiritually. The life which they led here is called the life of celebacy in the best translation of the sanscript word—Bhomho-chairja. Still it must be admitted that "celibacy" is a poor word for the sanscript word. The pupils in their precepto's protection made no scruple to tell every condition of their body ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 and mind to their preceptor. It always tended to a good result physically and morally. A brief daily routine for the work of the student will show conclusively what the real education means. In the ancient world this routine was put in imperative form. It runs thus:— That the pupils should leave their beds before dawn and wash themselves, plunging into water, put on a washed garment and take breathing exercise, expanding their lungs and with the rising sun say their prayers to eternal omnipresent God, the Creator, the father, the protector and the destroyer (of evil) without beginning or end. That the pupils should not put on dresses used the day before without washing. That they should study after morning prayer an hour and a half with undivided attention and read with good articulation. That they should go to their manual work after study. They could choose any work they liked. These are the manual works— to chop wood, draw water, plough the field, graze the cattle, make furniture for pupils use, to attend kitchen, to go out to beg for the maintenance of the school. That they should take their dinner a t noon, after saying a short noon prayer and take an hour's rest before going to study and then study till five. That they should change their dress and wash their body before the vesper and sing a hymn to the Almighty, then when it was dark take their night meal such as fruit, nuts, milk, etc., but not an cooked meal. After an hour's rest following the night meal, study an hour and then think good thoughts for some time before going to bed. Besides this routine work the advanced students were taught how to concentrate their thoughts and to meditate. According to Hindoo conception, without concentration, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger meditation cannot be possible. By practicing concentration, Hindoo students would get wonderful retentive power. Even now here and there students may be found in Hin-doostan who can repeat a book simply from reading it once. From this one-sided description one might think that there was no arrangement for female education in the whole ancient Hindoo world. But the case was quite contrary. Women were given as much facility to education as men though under differant organizations. Some of the well reputed Hindoo ladies excelled so much in their knowledge that they dared to challenge the then known most distinguished scholars to debate with them in large public meetings especially convened for that purpose. Truth to say before all scholars in India they gave most shameful defeats to them. The name of Algebra will ever remain associated with Lulabati, the famous Hindoo lady who first founded the system of Algebra. The Hindoo astronomy owes its development much to Khana, another distinguished lady. By dint of their knowledge Hindoo ladies rose socially higher than the men. Nowhere in the world were the women given so high a place as in India. From this we can judge that the education of India was once fruitful and it gave to the Hindoos their manhood, because knowledge is power. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 THE CLASS OF 1905 Yakity Yak! Kiak Ki Ive! Yakity Yak! Kiak Ki Ive! Seniors! Seniors! 1905! The class of 1905 as Juniors were noisy— in other words, they let themselves be known, but they evidently began their senior year with the firm resolve to be "quiet." Throughout the entire year they have conducted themselves with the dignity of Seniors. Early in the spring they gave up their ambition of making their farewell a brilliant affair and devoted all their energies to raising funds on which to go to the Portland Exposition. How they have succeeded we all know. The members of the class of 1905 are: Gertrude Aldridge, Elsie Anthon, Susie Andrews, Edith Austin, Lillian Burke, Meda Carlson, Stella Carlson, Grace Dickey, Grace Drake, Anna Drummond, Mrs. C. H. Eldridge, Isabel Gibson, Cassie Gifford, Myrl Hays, Katherine Hauts, Edna Hallock, Adelaide Haulsin. Lissa Howlett, Jessie Jameson, Alice Kibbe, Lynus A. Kibbe, Evalyn Kirkpatrick,. Josie Little, Winnie McMullen, Isabelle Mc- Rae, Violet Morgan, Albra Paddock, May Pillman, Harry Raymond, Nellie Ramsey, Charlotte Stewart, Myrtle Williams, Marie Wheeler, Nellie Roberts, Bessie Service, Ople Swank, Birdie Winchell. t ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON EDITORIAL STAFF HELEN WHITNEY, 'o6 Editor-in-Chief ANNA CUTHBERTSON Associate Editor FLORENCE MONTGOMERY, '07 Literary LOTTIE FLEMING, '06 - - ) .

JUNE, 1905 No. 7 EDITORIALS By the time this number of the Messenger reaches you the Seniors will have returned from their trip to the Portland Exposition and most of you will be enjoying your summer vacation. Perhaps some of you if not all will be disappointed that the annual commencement number of the Messenger is not as elaborate nor as extensive this year as formally. The only explanation we wish to offer for the modest appearance of this issue is that it was found impractical to publish the usual extra commencement number this year. We are sorry, but it cannot be helped. This year the Faculty are again holding a summer session of school with Prof. F. W. Eply in charge. Besides teachers from the surrounding towns in attendance there are quite a number of Normal students taking up extra work in order that they may graduate or go on with their regular work next September when school again opens. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 At a school election held June 8, Miss Sarah Van Reypen, a member of the class of 1906, -was elected editor-in-chief of the Normal Messenger for the coming year. May she liave every success and the generous support of every member of the school. Those who liave never had the experience little realize what it means to try to keep up a school paper with little help or encouragement from fellow students or from the members of the Faculty. To those who return I would wish to say the success of the Messenger next year depends on you as well as on the editor-in-chief or her staff. The article "Education of Ancient India," was written by Mr. Mazundar, though that is not the name he has signed. THE FACULTY E. T. M.— "A roisy man—right plump to see." W. W.— "What! this man will outtalk us all." J. T. P . - "He braves the world and can defy Its frowns and flatteries." F. W. E . - "Who the important 'little man' that visits here!" H. E.

B . - "She cannot endure to hear tell of a husband." C. M.— " Wise is she—and sweet withal Queen in life's great festival." M. Z. W. " She had an eye that would speak though her tongue were silent." N. C - " Pungent as pepper." A SENIOR "Oh chaste heart! Oh exalted soul! Oh creature full of nobleness." (Pigmies are pigmies still though perched on Alps.) A JUNIOR "You could not light upon a sweeter thing." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 THIRD YEARS "Don't chatter or tell people all you think." SOPHOMORES " I ( should not urge thy duty past thy weight; I know young bloods long for a time of rest." A FRESHIE " 0 thou bright thing, fresh from the hand of God!" How gentle and how good a child. EDITORS "Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting." COMMENCEMENT WEEK TRAINING SCHOOL Friday afternoon, June 9, the training school gave its final entertainment in the gymnasium. The program was given by the grammar and primary departments under Miss Horner and Miss Montgomery. Several weeks before the intermediate department under Miss Bratton had entertained the rest of the training school, so a t this program they, together with parents and friends of the children were the guests. After the entertainment the children passed to their respective rooms, received their grade cards and were dismissed for their summer vacation. THE SENIOR PLAY The Senior entertainment given June 9, was a decided success in every particular. It was original and was well rendered throughout, showing t h a t it had received careful preparation. The opening number, bytheSubmerino Band was especially good and probably owes i t s great success to the excellent leadership of Miss Isabelle McRae. It is difiicult to com- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ment on each number, for they were all good. The printed programs in themselves were well gotten up. The program for the evening was: I. Overture Submerino Band II. Lecture Wild Animals I Have Caught Durnest Thornthumb Settin III.

Good Night, Farewell Garrett Normal Choral Club. THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON The baccalaureate sermon was delivered ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Sunday afternoon, June 11, by Rev. James Thompson, pastor of the South End Presbyterian church. The class filed to their places in a group to a march played by Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The sermon was preceded by a solo by Miss Mabel Moore. GRADUATING EXERCISES The commencement week exercises ended Tuesday, June 13, in the auditorium, when the thirty-seven graduates received their diplomas. The address was given by J. J. Donovan of this city. Mr. Donovan is a member of the Board of Trustees and his address was much appreciated. This was followed by a few appropriate remarks by Dr. Mathes and the presentation of diplomas. During the exercises solos were sung by Miss Frankie Sullivan of the Junior class and Miss Isabelle McRae of the Senior class. Miss Hogle has planned to spend her summer writing a text book on drawing. Most of the contents of the work will be taken from material furnished her by students in their test papers. In order that her book may be well advertised she wishes to put before the public a few of the definitions which the book will contain. gt;N EGYPTIAN ART.— The scarabeus means famine. The beetle means trouble. The winged beetle is part of a warrior. The swelling asp is the bud of the lotuc lower. The winged crow means luck. The circle is a sun god. The zig-zag denotes abundance. The fret is the scroll in the form of a square. •ERSPBCTINE AND COLOR WORK:— Forshortening is convergence of rays of ight to produce near-sightedness. Objects far away are foreshortened. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger The base of a cylinder is an eclipse. The apex of a line is over the base. The level of the eye goes up as you pass away. Foreshortening is using a stronger tint to make things show up, i Accent is loudening a color. A complementary color furnishes a picture. Hue is a modification of the application of color. Shade is a delicate tint of color. Shade is a variety. Drawing makes one understand implicitly. NORMAL GEOGRAHPY:— Library—A place to be seen but not heard* Gymnasium—A modern torture chamber. Work-Room—A secret chamber in the training school where critic teachers and other members of the faculty are discussed by practice teachers. Manual trainining room—A place where students learned and wise revert to old times and babyhood pies. History room—The garden of the Gods foi there dates abound. Oral expression room—A place whence com* the most unearthly sounds. Latin room—Here all who enter abandot hope. Physics room—A place where future Edisoni may try their skill. Critics office—Here practice teachers entei with trembling and return in tears. Music room—Go to Prof. Stone for a de scription of this region. Psychology room—A place where natura gas is generated. Cloak room—A place where umbrellas an lt; rubbers may be left but never found. Auditorium—Where students gather dail; t o receive small sized lectures and sermonettes ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 June - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY:— The Brain—A cavity in the child's head which the teacher is expected to fill. Tongue—The teacher's sharpest weapon. Heart—A thing never to be mentioned in polite society. Nerves—Things which do not exist but to which we attribute all our cranky spells. Matrimony—A disease never caught by Normal students. Love—A disease similar to the measles, to which all Normal graduates must be declared immune. When Normal's last final is over And clearing up spell is done, When the teachers have graded our papers And the Seniors have had their fun, We shall rest, and in faith we shall need it. Go home for a month or two Until we come back in September To begin our school work anew. And those who have worked shall be happy; And those who have loafed shall lament For the passing grades that they have not And the hours in idleness spent. And some shall rejoice on that morning And some shall turn sadly away Reluctant to leave the old Normal Where they've spent many bright busy days. Then the halls that now echo our voices Shall be cold and dreary and still; The building shall stand as a lonely Sentinel, there on the hill. M.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is interesting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still remain. The first year's graduating class numbered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certificates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning September, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new improvements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 specimens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, professional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two summers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the completion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A furnished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occupants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regular boarders will be given a voice in the management of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several conditions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogistic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends toward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching appreciation of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language depends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It pervades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very interesting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That coeducation be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is planning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program committee. The officers of the society for the first quarter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invitation was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the invitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thursday and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the programs more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, orations, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recognized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new students and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathematics and language, methods, practice, physical culture and society; because we are removed from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thousands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treasurer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organization is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-president, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treasurer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Appleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semester, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an interesting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged between the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a membership of 47 and there are still others planning to enter next semester, which will probably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will represent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room. The punch table, strewn with ivy and nasturtiums, stood under a canopy of old gold bunting twined with ivy. The Y. W. C. A. room was decorated in old gold bunting and golden maple leaves.

ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whitney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the following places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teaching in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gertrude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wallace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey.

It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, beginning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their support we could not publish a monthly paper.

LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English department last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the University at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

How did thos vibrations reach the halls for the wary Seniors to lay hold of? A Junior rush on Christmas eve! There was no shutting it out. It would come. Had only some faint impulse been perceived a day earlier some plan of escape could have been invented. But this very night when the cream (Seniors) of the institution were to have a cherry time all to themselves, those greedy Juniors had to "butt" in. Brains were raked and reraked which resulted in an idea—an airy one. Komura's motor. The folks of Bellingham had waxed conservative in course of time and were suspicious of any thing tending in an airy direction, so Komura, whose ancestors had developed the desire of being somewhat out of reach, found little employment for his aerial vessel. All his means had been used up in building the contrivance and as luck would have it, the thing was too large for anchorage on native soil and wings had to be spread for a world of more space to the east. The night was foggy and not a shadow was perceptible as the winged car moved noiselessly over the campus and stopped short near the window of an upper story. In piled the Seniors in company with an extra amount of victuals. But whither wend ? A r aw chill permeated the atmosphere and shivers were prevalent in spite of wraps. "To the crater," was the accord. ---------- Page 8 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The motor now floated in free air. Below the fog wreathed and twirled in fantastical masses. From half way up the horizon fell the moon's calm and steady light, while the little stars flickered uneasily at a greater depth. Here and there hill tops with clumps of trees showed dimly through the fleecy whiteness, and in the distance rose bald brows of snowy peaks. The crater is near! Odorous fumes and a most welcome warmth greet the comers. Where the rocks are warm but at a safe distance from the fumy caldron, anchor is cast and the party alight. In a groove among hot rocks a midnight repast is heated, served and eaten. What a lonely place! Below, old Baker's sides are still coated with snow. Thither the maidens wend their way for a coast. One well proportioned young woman tries first. Seated on a folded mackintosh she starts down a small incline, but slides farther than expected and lands, near a clump of small evergreens, right into the arms of a huge bear. The astonished brute only blinks and the heroine neither screams nor weeps, but lays hold of a coil of rope dropped from above. The bear now realizes what he is about to lose and reaches out a paw, but only to clutch a rubber. I t was morning when the party reached home and there were all the "years" and Juniors too, even the faculty, to welcome them. Komura's motor is no longer idle. There is no end to coasting parties. On suitable toboggans they coast down inclines, by ropes they are brought to higher levels, and at the crater limbs are thawed and bear steak roasted. NEUTRAL. ---------- Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 BEFORE (A Poem With Words) All hail to Christmas, our autum vacation, Our long visit home we greet with glad hearts, We have bravely survived test and examination, For having escaped, thrill of thankfulness dart Through us making bright all the world. The fame of the turkey and juicy mince pie Has been shouted in song and in story, In meter most metric, in picture most graphic Has been heralded Christmas glory. Through many good things we've been giddily whirl'd So I will desist. AFTER (A Poem Without Words.) O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-h ! R. C. R. SIRIUS Friday, November 10 The Sirius Literary Society convened in Society Hall for a short program, made shorter still by the fact that four of the seven numbers on the program were omitted. Reasons obvious. The critic's report was read in assembly several mornings later by Dr. Mathes. Need we add that it was not complimentary ? Friday, November 24 Again the S. L. S. met, this time prepared to live down the failure of the preceding session and they more than succeeded. In addition to a very good program, the chairs were straight, the blinds at a proper angle, the room comfortably warm. Hallowe'en trash removed, etc. Let me say, in an aside, t h a t a neat pile of kindling had been prepared as an emergency fund upon which to call in case of a sudden change in the weather. Y. W. C. A. The progress of the Y. W. C. A. during the month of November has been very noticeable. This has been manifested by the increased enthusiasm of the old members and in the gaining of new ones. ---------- Page 10 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger Miss Kyle, one of the four National Y. W. C. A. Secretaries visited the Association and spent several days interviewing and instructing the committees, and in lecturing to the Association in a body. A reception of welcome was given Miss Kyle by the " Y. W." in the gymnasium on the evening of her arrival, at which each class in the school performed a "stunt." The "stunts" included class yells by the First Years, charades, representing song titles, by the Second Years, selections, beautifully rendered, by the Third Year Comic Orchestra, a typical Normal class conducted by the Juniors and a song by the Seniors, which consisted of a solo by Miss Stone and chorus by the entire class. The Association is planning to send a large delegation to the Northwestern Conference held at Gearhart, Oregon, next August. They are also planning to take up systematic Bible study in the near future. One class is to be conducted by Miss Gray and the other by Miss Sperry. From the number of girls already enrolled in these classes one may easily see that they have felt the need of classified Bible study and are eagerly availing themselves of the opportunity offered them for such study. The World's Week of Prayer was observed by special meetings held at mid-day. Great interest was manifested at these meetings and everyone who attended was helped by 'them. The leaders of the meetings were Miss Kyle, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. McCartney, Miss Sperry, and Mrs. Todd. CLIONEAN LITERARY NOTES When in the course of human events, people discover t h a t they have certain talents, which heretofore have been neglected, they find it necessary to develop these same talents. As a result of this discovery among certain Clionean members about fifty have with- ---------- Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 drawn and formed two separate societies, i.e., the Dramatic and Literary. We have full faith, that, since the membership has been reduced, more effective work will be accomplished in the future, making impromptu programs become a thing of the past. THESPIAN Have you heard about the Thespian Dramatic Society, a band of twenty-five young ladies—chosen from the two large Literary societies ? Yes, they now exist under the management of the following officers: President Frankie Sullivan Vice-President Stella Dodd Secretary and Treasurer Ada Myers Reporter Walda Wall For their first program a discussion of the earliest dramas and dramatists of China, India, Greece and Rome was given. In the future it will be the aim of the society to study the drama from its beginning to the present time and also to become acquainted literally with some of the famous persons who have interpreted it. Presentation of scenes from well known dramas may be given during the Second Semester. BOY'S DEBATING CLUB The constitution was amended several weeks ago and the amendments went into effect the first of November. Until then the boys had met every Thursday evening at seven thirty (7:30), but now the meetings are held every other Friday. The program rendered at the last meeting was the best the society has given thus far. Every member on the program did his duty. The society feels proud of the fact that it won the prize offered by the MESSENGER to the society having the highest per cent of its members as subscribers of the paper. At a regular busi- ---------- Page 12 ---------- 8 The Normal Messengei ness meeting a new set of officers were elected for the next quarter. Some of these officers are in favor of a more social time and a special Christmas program or banquet may be given some time before Christmas vacation. 100 per cent—What we lack in numbers we make up in proceedings—? SENIORS First in knowledge First in stunts First to the front in everything. On the night of all, Hallowe'en, when the fairies, the brownies and gobblins hold high carnival on the earth, our Seniors' class— bound to be left out of nothing—decided to entertain in a unique and quite informal manner, the members of the faculty. Accordingly they met on the corner of Oak and Garden streets, with their intellectual faces transformed by masks that were in keeping with the event. Here they separated and proceeded to "issue their invitations." A few of the teachers became alarmed at the unusualness of it all and went into secret quarters, much to their regret when they learned later what they had missed. Noticeable among the absentees was Dr. Bowman. In some way the Seniors learned that he was wandering around in the moonlight, on the summit of Sehome Hill, searching for "nothing" and they did not have the heart to interrupt the quest. However, the majority of the faculty were captured and a march for the Normal began. The gentlemen members were loaded down with the good things that the Seniors had prepared for the evening's refreshments and the pumpkin pies, cakes and doughnuts aided greatly in keeping them in the ranks. On the campus the Seniors and their guests were met by a band of Juniors who made football rush at them. The Seniors, thanks to the experience and skill of the gentlemen of the faculty, ---------- Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 wedged their way through the on-rushing Juniors and reached the Normal in safety. The only booty secured by the Junior class was a bunch of empty shoe boxes that they mistook for pumpkin pies. Arrived at the building the faculty were invited to perform some appropriate stunts, the crowning feature of which was the serving of "tea and small talk" by Prof. Wilson. After this, refreshments— such as the Senior class only can serve— were placed before the guests and as the hand of the clock counted of the weird hour of the Hallowe'en midnight, the spell was broken and the revellers dispersed. The Senior caps have come. They are dark blue with the '06 stitched in old gold. The "Beautiful Bellingham" hat pins t h at were gotten out by the '06 class are ready for the market. They are not only unique and artistic but are the product of excellent local workmanship. They are but another expression of that genuine Bellingham spirit that should animate the being of every resident— either permanent or temporary—of the city. A partial view of the town, including court house and city hall is shown, also a view of Sehome Hill and the glorious Puget Sound sunset over the bay. But they must be seen to be appreciated — you will find them for sale in all the leading establishments. The pie and cake sale given last Friday was a complete success. The only thing that was lacking was a sufficient supply to meet the demand.. JUNIORS The Junior class with a force of forty-three girls and THREE boys has been fully organized. Mr. Scannel was unanimously elected class president; Miss Edith Perkins was elected vice-president; Miss Hattie Denzel, secretary; Miss Moyer, treasurer; Mr. Andrews, sar-geant- at-arms. ---------- Page 14 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger The Juniors have selected several jolly class yells as well as class colors. Black and white being novel and adapted to all color combination was chosen. THIRD YEARS Members of the Third Year class met October 17, and organized, electing the following officers: Walter Nichols. President Miss Jennings Vice-President Miss Cook vSecretary and Treasurer H. F. Smith Sargeant-at-Artns A good spirit was shown and from appearances the Third Years will be doing things shortly. SECOND YEARS Sophomore class colors, Crimson and Gray; class teacher Miss Mabel Moore; officers: President H. E. Bloyd Vice-President Miss May Call Secretary Miss Mae McCrait Treasurer Miss Mary Jacohson Basket Ball Manager Miss Francis Daly Razzle, Dazzle, Bish, Boom, Bah! Sophomores, Sophomores, Rah! Rah! Rah! There are those who like to lie at the gate of the Sohomores, and eat of the crumbs that fall from their table. THAT COLONIAL PARTY One of the most enjoyable social functions of the season was the party given by the Sophomore class on Saturday evening, November 25. Old fashioned cozy corners, plants, flowers, rugs, and the class colors, "crimson and gray," in festoons, lampshades and a beautiful banner gave to the Society Hall and Y. W. C. A. rooms most unique and pleasing appearance. The Freshmen offered a prelude to the evening's fun by kidnapping the president of the Sophomore class, but he managed to escape by means of a friendly trunk rope and a second story window and arrived at the ---------- Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 Society rooms in time to assist in welcoming the guests of the class. The quaint costumes and merry laughter of youth as the young people entered enthusiastically into the old fashioned games carried us back to the dear old days of our great-great- grandparents and to those first thanksgiving days. At 10:30 the doors of the Y. W. C. A. room were thrown open revealing a long table presided over by members of the class, and bearing in its center an immense punchbowl, filled with old fashioned sweet cider, and piled high on either end with apples, nuts and doughnuts. Then toasts and wit held carnival until the lights were turned low and a thrilling "ghost" story, recited by the class president concluded the evenings entertainment. Very reluctantly we bade our hosts goodnight. "CHUCK-A-NUT" Bright and early Saturday morning (Nov. 4th) Miss Le Conteand ten other girlsstarted on a delightful little trip. Dressed in their blue and white suits and with their lunches strapped on their backs they left South Bell-ingham and were, before many minutes, climbing Mt. Chucknut. After two hours of puffing and blowing the band of "Alpine climbers" reached, not the "jumpingoff place," but the place from where one of the grandest views of the northwest can be obtained. By the time the girls had gazed to their hearts content at the beautiful scenery, and, at the same time, had satisfied their hunger, to some degree, it was suggested that those present should form a club. And so, on the top of Mount Chuckanut the first tribunal of the C. C. C. was held. The following officers were chosen: Chief Official Adviser, Chief Mock-a-Mock, Chief Pathfinder, Chief Hiker, Chief Fanner, Chief Puffer, Chief Mender, Chief Router, Chief Skirt-checker, Chief Water Carrier, Chief Scribe and Little Chief, The Mascot. ---------- Page 16 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of EDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAKE SARAH L.

Issued the 15th of every month. All copy must be in the hands of the editor-in-chief on or before the 9th of the month. Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3,1879. Vol. V. DESMBERTIW NO?2 EDITORIAL Who does not admire the man who can come before an audience and give them, in a clear unhesitating manner, his opinion on the topic under discussion or who can write his views so that he will not be ashamed to see them in print ? The attainment of this ease of manner and the ability to express ones self, is the aim of our literary societies. Four years of thorough conscientious work in an active literary society, should take away that fear of the audience, which has probably lost more good causes for want of advocates than has any other thing, and it should give one a confidence in himself which will win half the battles of his life. Let us then be up and doing— ever keeping in mind the fact; that "The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." Jr.-Boys-Chorus—I'se no lady—I'se no baby— Wonder if I'se a man. ---------- Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 The staff extend to the faculty and entire student bod}' their best wishes for a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. The editress sits in her sanctum, Her brow is furrowed with care, "Oh what shall I do," she mutters, "I don't consider this fair I've talked till I'm almost exhausted, I fear that my health will decline Yet strive as I may, there are students Who, when asked to subscribe, will decline. Z. I. P. The NORMAL MESSENGER is a paper for the students and by the students; its success does not depend on the editorial staff alone, but also on the literary and especially the financial support given it by the student body. We do not wish the students to feel that the staff editors desire all the "honor and pleasure" of writing for the paper. We should be more than pleased to find in the MESSENGER box in the library, any locals, poems, parodies, stories, essays or other material that would aid in making the paper a success. LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS DEAR SANTA— Please send the Seniors a real live up-to-date boy (a very handy luxury, don't you know). To to Juniors, some original ideas. To the Third Years, some loyal ties. (They are so elusive). To the Soph's, some woolen hose. (They are noted for cold trilbys). To the Freshies, a "pony" and a rattle. Furs, coats and other articles usually marked down during the holidays, took a "brace" just before Thanksgiving and "went up." A noted writer once said that it was the "empty can" that rattled the loudest. Faculty as well as students beware of the "noise" you make on the world's stage. ---------- Page 18 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger ALUMNI Miss Belle McRae '05 has a position as first primary teacher in Everett this year. Miss Myrtle Williams, '05, has a similar position in Arlington. Both of these youngladies visited friends in Bellingham over Sunday. F. W. Rhoades, a graduate of '03, is now principal at Shelton, Mason county. The school there has ten grades and a corps of seven teachers. Miss Birdie Winchell, '05, is teaching a country school near Shelton. Miss Nellie Sweeney, who attended the Normal during the year 1903, is now superintendent of San Juan county. Miss Christine Thomle, one of our elementary graduates, is studying in a medical school in Sweden. Miss Myrl Hays spent Sunday with her mother and sister. Miss Susie Andrews, '05, visited with her parents on the south side during Thanksgiving vacation. Miss Stella Carlson, '05, is teaching at Oak Harbor and Miss Gertrude Aldridge also of the '05 class, is teaching in her home school at Oso. Miss Nellie Jones, of '04, is teaching at Ferndale. She is a very thorough worker in the W. C. T. U. and received special mention at the recent convention for her earnest efforts in the work. Miss Carrie Risedorph, '04, is teaching in the Queen Anne school in Seattle. Miss Emily Dodd, an elementary^ graduate of '05, is teaching the seventh grade at Blaine this year. It is with deepest regret that we record the death of Miss Mariam Darwin which occurred at her home in this city several weeks ---------- Page 19 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 ago. Miss Darwin graduated from the elementary course in '04 and has since been teaching in the city schools, being employed in the Franklin school at the time of her death. LOCALS Miss Moore, head of the music department, has arranged for choral practice twice a week at the usual assembly hour. Rev. Orr Wark spent a day visiting the classes in the Normal and training departments. Two numbers of the lecture course have been given, and enjoyed by large audiences. The next number will be given by the Shakespearean reader. SECOND YEAR GERMAN CLASS Mr. Jones (translating the following passage from "Wiltelm Hell" "die Herde schlagt er und den Hirten.") "It strikes the herds and the herdsmen." Mr. Stone—Give a more poetic translation of schlagt than "strike." Mr. Jones—"Slugs." Mr. Eply gave a lecture illustrated by lantern slides at Everson, on Wednesday evening, November 23. Dr. Mathes was absent from his post on Thursday, November 24, on account of illness. Several new students entered school at the beginning of the new quarter. Among them are Mrs. Depew, Charlotte Andrews, Ray Smith and Hanah Jacobson. Mr. Romine and Dr. Bowman were among the Knights who visited Sedro-Woolley, Friday, November 24. Miss Hays' oratory class will soon begin work to be given before the student body. The librarian has catalogued almost a ---------- Page 20 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger thousand new books since the beginning of the school year. Miss Baker, of the department of mathematics, attended the state convention of the W. C. T. U., recently held at Seattle. While in that city she visited Mrs. Blanche Evans Whithan, former assistant in English, in her charming home on Beacon Hill. EXCHANGES The "Mirror" certainly reflects an active and enthusiastic High School and we wish you success. The Academy Journal of Norwich, Conn., contains, not only some good stories, but also an editorial, which all patriotic students should heed. Wa-Wa (Pt. Townsend) from cover to cover you are wide awake. Upon our exchange table may be found the Bulkley News, The Review, Spinster, Western Independent, Mankatonian, Gitche Gumee, Comet, Normal Record, Wa Wa, (Puget Sound Academy), Purple and Gold, (Lewistown), Enterpise, Normal Outlook, The Pacific Wave, The Hodak, The Legenda, The Pharos—The Tocsin, the Adjutant, Purple and Gold (Huron College), The College Independent, and the Evergreen; each of the above, is an up-to-date school paper—and offer to its readers an opportunity, of acquaintance with its student body. This should be a school paper's mission—for are we not all climbing the one hill, Knowledge ? THE ALKISIAH Friday afternoon, Nov. 4, the christening of the Alkisiah club took place in Miss Baker's recitation room which had been suitably arranged for the occasion. The president of the new club presided most charm- ---------- Page 21 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 ingly over the affair which assumed the shape of a reception with the faculty as guests. The Alkisiah began life a week earlier with a membership of twenty-five young women, with the following officers: Miss Whitaker President Miss Peime Vice-President Miss Green Secretary Miss Long Treasuer Misses Ellis, Pearl Smith, LeSourd..Program Committee Miss Baker performed the christening ceremony and set forth the aims of the new club which are to be along the lines of practical sociology. Miss Dodd gave a summary of recent political reforms in eastern cities, Miss Smith rendered the "Four Leaved Clover," and Miss Jennings read a dog story from Mark Twain. After the program refreshments were served and speeches requested from the faculty. Those present responded and gave the new society a hearty godspeed. JUNIOR SOCIAL NOTES On Hallowe'en the Juniors gave a frolic which proved a great success. After a pleasant hour of serenading and tricks, refreshments of pumpkin pie and cream were served at the Dormitory. J-u-n-i-o-r! That's the way we spell it! Junior! JUNIOR! JUNIOR! That's the way we yell it! Friday, the 24th, the Junior class gave a chafing dish party in the gymnasium. A merry evening was spent in nut-racing and story telling. Miss Sloan and Miss Stanley led the grand march. The party was chaperoned by Miss Sperry, of the Faculty. Interesting, isn't it, to discover Prof. Romine's red mittens ? Prof. Wilson's historic ability ? The Senior's originality? (?) Prof. Forrest: "I remember when girls wore some sort of thing called 'titters/ fast- ---------- Page 22 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger ened under the bottom of their skirts.—Oh! no, I never saw any, but I know how they worked." If it takes seven yards of oil cloth to make a baby hippopotamus a bathing suit, how long will it take a cock roach with a wooden leg to bore through an onion one inch in diameter? What is worse than a woman with a "waterfall" on her head, a "cataract" in her eye, a "ripple" in her laugh and a "spring" in her heel ? A man with a "notion" in his head. Heard B. Fore. Say, Don, how did the girls like the "hand out ? " Ask the Freshmen how it feels to be left holding the sack. P. S. Some of the Dormitory girls might be able to shed some light on the subject also. ATHLETICS The contest for the Kline Cup begins on December 15, when the first of the series of Inter-class Basket Ball games will be played. On Saturday the 18th the Snaps and the Snipes played a good game of basket ball in the gym. Capt. Cory of the Snaps and Capt. Goodell of the Snipes certainly kept things going. There were a number of fouls called, but the score of 18 to 11 in favor of the Snaps is evidence of close and careful playing. Mr. Lull acted as umpire. Indoor tennis will be taken up early next week. A court has beenformedin the gymnasium and as there are a number of students who have played tennis before, a contest as lively as in basket ball is expected. '07. JOKES Mr. R — "What are the usual characteristics of southern men? " Miss F.—"Lazy and indolent." ---------- Page 23 ---------- The Normal Messenger 19 Mr. R.—"Ha! Ha! I'm glad I see myself as others see me." Miss A. wants to know if days can learn the multiplication table. Heard in psychology—Miss F.—Do 3'ou believe, Mr. Wilson, that days can make goo goo eyes? Mr. Romine—"Some of the heartiest laughs I ever had were at funerals." How shocking!! '07. Don't forget to buy a Bellingham Hat Pin offered for sale by Senior Class of Normal School. These Fins can be secured at several stores in the city. MORSE HDW. 60. I025-J039 ELK ST. The Great Hardware Store Office Phone Main 35.

At that time more than forty new classes will be organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. New students may enter as well in February as in September, and a large number are expected for the next semester. The school is always able to find good boarding places for all who come, and excellent accommodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light housekeeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER JANUARY, 1906 GROWTH IN THE APPRECIATION OF AMERICAN ART IT was natural that a European on his visit to the United States should have been surprised at the large number of paintings, by foreign painters, in private American collections. The traveler, through Holland, would regard it as strange not to find in the native home, the most representative art of the Dutch painters. This would also be the case in Spain, France, and Italy. He would look for the work of the native painters, and in looking, meets with few disappointments. What can be his mental attitude toward the American Millionaire who points to hie walls, crowded with "Corots," "Millett,'' and "Bretons," but with nothing whatever, or just a bare example or two from the hands of his compatriots ? Very likely the average foreign traveler concludes that there is no American Art worth while. But one who is "informed," knows the high regard in which the work of the American is held, abroad, and he cannot but be puzzled at the blindness of the average collector (Am.) apparently so satisfied with the foreign collections, oftentimes the output of an inventor. There are in the United States alone many more pictures "by Corot" than he ever painted. Still it is perfectly clear that little by little, the fact is dawning upon American picture buyers, that they have a home product worthy of adorning their walls. The honors confered upon our painters, for years by the Old World, are beginning to tell; the example ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 gt; The Normal Messenger of a handful of earnest, sincere, art loversr strong enough to be "in fashion with themselves" by comparative exhibitions, articles in Magazines, handsomely illustrated books, etc; all have had their influence. "We may also place the slow but sure arrival of certain American Artists, by the plate glass windows, t h a t line Fifth Avenue, in New York. American Art is dangrously near the point of becoming the fashion. It is all a natural stage of our development. In the past the good American went abroad to find out just what was going on in the world. While there he inquired about the painting that was being done. He visited galleries and studios and returned home, completely under the sway of the great European Artists. To-day the tables are turned. Foreigners come here to ask questions. And we are beginning to be dissatisfied with our answers to questions, like the following, for instance;—" Where areyour American paintings to be studied to advantage?" "Where can I see the best work of your men?" Now there are a few men in our country who, if thus addressed, for a reply, would not find themselves embarrassed. They have for years, been collecting the works of comparatively unknown Americans. Content to be laughed at, satisfied to be judged by relatives and neighbors, actuated solely by motives of economy. These men have lived to indulge in the re-taliative, "I-told-you-so." The Art Critic no longer hesitates to say that some of the foremost painting, going on today, is being done by Americans. The salvation, the opportunity of the American painter, lies in his freedom from tradition. There is in American Art the freshness and strength of an Art t h a t is expressive of real emotion, real experience. The fact ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 that the very atmosphere of the United States is not overcharged, and self conscious makes for direct, personal, and individual expression. C. 0. '08 PRELUDE A New Year's rhyme I've been asked to write; For the Messenger—whose shining light Shall guide the Seniors—when the June bells lay Shall send these fair ones on their way, So as a theme for this rhyme you see I have chosen the "Majestic Normal B." THE MAJESTIC NORMAL B. Its mighty walls for six long years Have stood the test of joys and fears And now with this New Year glad and free We will hail the "Majestic Normal B." She glides so smoothly on her way That her wind tossed masts refuse to sway For the Alumni both far and free Still hail, the "Majestic Normal B." Among her classes from ' n to '06 She sees some very naughty tricks But her colors are found to be most royal When any of these refuse to be loyal Or when her co-eds try her sore She never lets them win a score But she joins her hands and full and free Hails the "Majestic Normal B ." And now, Oh students' and teachers dear, Awake ! Arise ! this glad New Year And publish o'er land and sea The majesty of the Normal B. FIRST ATTEMPT. THE SIRIUS LITERARY CLUB The S. L. C. met in Room 71, on the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 8, since the Juniors were exerting every energy to make Society Hall attractive for their reception. The meeting was called to order by the President and we slumbered through the reading of the minutes. A short but attractive program was rendered. The number calling forth the greatest applause was the song sung by our tiny guests, the Primary Grade. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of BDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF *ARAH L.

JANUARY, 1906 No. 3 EDITORIAL "Time and tide wait for no one," as a result of this fact we are now fairly launched upon the New Year, which holds out to each * gt;f us its welcoming arms of opportunity and ^ood cheer. To a few, perhaps, the dawning of the New Year may mean but the ordinary rising of another dya's sun, but to all others may \ t mean the rising of a grand new endeavor v.o be one step higher on the ladder of success, one place nearer the highest standard yet attained by man when 1906 bids us adieu. If the year, just past, has not been to each of us all that we had hoped it would, a brief .•;elf examination may reveal to us the fact that the fault was not 1905's. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 A SENIORS' "THESIS" SUBJECT: — OBVIOUS? Dear Father:— Once you said "My lass, To womanhood you've grown, To make others trust you, trust yourself, And learn to stand alone." Now, father, soon I graduate And those who long have shown How well they trust me, want their pay, And I can stand a loan.—Z. I. P. Advertisers! You're no misers! Oh, Believe me!

(Don't get caught using a pony.) See the president and professors whenever they can be of service to you. (When you get a "call up.") See that you attend receptions. (If you want a girl.) Don't forget to join the athletic association. (You can't play ball unless you do.) Be helpful and expect to be helped. (During exams.) Attend chapel regularly. (On Friday.) Treat each professor as though he were your friend. (Maybe you can work him for a grade.) Keep off the grass. (It is reserved for one professor.)

Before—There are meters of accent and meters of tone, but the best meter of all is to meet'er alone. After—There are letters of accent and letters of tone, but the best of all letters is to let'er alone. THESPIAN SOCIETY A very interesting meeting was held on Friday, Dec. 8, '05 by the Thespian Society. We had a few visitors who were very enthusiastic in their praise, applauding quite freely. YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB The Young Men's Debating Club held its last meeting for the year 1905 in the Society Hall on the evening of Dec. 15. The program consisted of a song by Mr. Tibbies, a forecast of "The Future Careers of the Members of the Club," by Mr. Davenport, and a debate on the question, "Resolved that the Army Canteen should be Restored." After the literary program and business meeting was over the "feed" began. Finally with three cheers for Prof. Forrest, the members went home and a floor covered with nut shells was left as a memento of the club's first but not last "feed." REQUIEM FOR THE JUNIOR EFFIGIES Poor young unfortunates, Weary of breath, Rashly importunate, Gone to their death ! Lift them up tenderly, Touch them with care ! Fashioned so slenderly, Young, and so fair! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger On they rushed boldly,— No matter how coldly, The chills of the midnight Over them ran. Night in Assembly Hall And they must climb o'er all Of that cold iron rail! Picture it,—think of i t! O, the great risk of it ! What if they'd fall? Look at their garments, Clinging like cerements, Around the young juniors Suspended in air! Touch them not scornfully ! Think of them mournfully, Gently and humanly,— Not of the brains of them; All, that remains of them Now, is up there ! Lift them down tenderly, Lift them with care ! Fashioned so slenderly, Young, and so fair ! Ere their limbs frigidly, Stiffen too rigidly, Quietly, kindly, Smooth and compose them; And their eyes, close them; Staring so blindly At the class banner there ! The Seniors have allowed the lower classes to score several small victories in order to give them a little vigor and a feeling of individuality. But as is the case with all "youngsters," they are likely to lose control of the spirit their elders are endeavoring to foster and they become inflicted with one of the worst of maladies, "Puerile Egoism." It is then necessary to administer a restorative. The last dose was given on the night of the Junior reception when for several hours '06 blazed forth in brilliant letters of electricity from a conspicuous place on the exterior wall of the Normal building. Verily, the "Junior Prayer" is being answered and the Seniors will "point out and light their pathway" in more senses than one. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger ALUMNI Mrs. Annie Raymond Stiger, '02 spent Christmas with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. F. Raymond of this city. Miss Stella Carlson, '05, is principal at Oak Harbor this year, and, Miss Alice Gilbert, one of our former elementary students, has charge of the lower grades.

Dr. Mathes, Mr. Forrest and Mr. Eply spent part of the vacation attending the teachers convention held at North Yakima. The stork visited Mr. Lull's house and left, a baby boy as a New Years gift. The facult and students extend hearty congratulations. Several University Students have been visiting the Normal during vacation. The new green house will be completed and ready for use in February. Among the new students who will begin work at once are, Misses Hazel Belt of East Clallam, Minnie Peterson of Cedar Home, Myrtle Auer, Upston, and Coney Deem. Several students who spent their vacation in town kept bachelor's hall at the Normal Dining Hall. Miss Stanley, one of the juniors, received word the day before Christmas vacation, that her home in Seattle had been burned. Mr. Stone and his wife entertained Prof, and Mrs. Osburn, of the University, during the holidays. Miss Sarah Van Reypen, our editor-in-chief, has been ill for several weeks. At the present-writing, however, she is much better and we shall soon welcome her back again. Miss Ethel Birney and Miss Pearl Peime will graduate at end of this semester. Both expect to accept positions at once. Miss Ada Hogle, of the Art and Manual Training department, was one of the instructors at the South Bend Teacher's Institute,, which was held just before the holidays. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ATHLETICS On December 15th, two Basket Ball games were played in the Normal gymnasium, before an audience of about three hundred. Since the Editor of Athletics played on the winning Junior team, probably a clipping from the Evening Herald of that date will be most impartial: "In the gymnasium at the Normal school last night the first of the series of inter-class games for the Kline Cup was played before a large audience, and the Juniors and Third Years came off with flying colors, the former by a score of 9 to 7, the latter team (3rd years) winning from the First years by a score of 8 to 6. Both contests were well played, and the girls worked like beavers from the time the ball was first tossed into the air, until the referee's whistle put an end to the encounter. The Junior-Senior game stood 4 to 4 at the end of the first half, but the lower class team braced in the second half and won out by a score of 9 to 7, scoring five points while the Seniors were able to annex but three. Ella Johnson and Nellie Appleby performed the star work for the winners. There were no single stars on the Senior quintet, but their team work was superior to that of the Juniors. The line-up of this game was as follows: JUNIORS POSITION SENIORS Agnes Stanley c Clara Warriner Ella Johnson rt. f. Anah Gooch EllaPillman left f. Mildred Wilson Nellie Appleby rt. g Lena Smith May Sloan left g Leonie Nohl Ellen O'Farrell sub. Umpires, Seniors: Sarah Van Reypen; Juniors: H. G. Lull^ Referee—Miss LeConte The first and third year teams were about evenly matched, and put up a rattling good exhibition from start to finish, playing steady consistent ball. The end of the first half ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 January - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 found the score standing 6 to 2 in favor of the third year team. The Freshies opened the second half with a rush, and fairly swept the upper class girls off their feet. But their rally was of little avail, for the third years won by a score of 8 to 6. The teams lined up as follows: FIRST YEARS POSITION THIRD YEARS Nettie Bailey c Dolly Jennings Mildred Smith r. f. Miss Crews Artie Thrall r. g Tilda Musgrove Zella Foerschler 1. f. Dorothy Hughes Lorena King 1. g Eva Myers Referee—Miss LeConte. Umpires, First Years—Ethel Jones; Third Years, Leonie Nohl. After the game Miss LeConte entertained the teams with a spread. Sandwiches and hot chocolate were served, after which, the hostess was voted to be "all right, all right!

Although the Seniors were not awarded the Kline cup at the recent basket ball contest, they won much genuine admiration and praise for their upright and skillful playing. Miss Josephine Jensen, a member of our class, has been compelled to leave school on account of ill health. Our president, Miss Jessie Scott Cowing, spent the holidays with friends in Olympia. JOKES Prof.—What are the causes of salt lakes ? Student—The shutting off of an arm of the sea. Prof.—What would be the result if the entrance of Puget Sound was closed in this manner?

At that time more than forty new classes will be organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. New students may enter as well in February as in September, and a large number are expected for the next semester. The school is always able to find good boarding places for all who come, and excellent accommodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light housekeeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

GLOVER BLOCK luu# ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER FEBRUARY, 1906 A LEGEND Long ago the Tribe of the Mtiltonoma was very great. All the Indians far to the north and south paid tribute to their great Chief; his word was law. But alas, less they should become too proud the great spirit decreed that their power should last only so long as the wonderful bridge stood across the Columbia. Therefore the bridge was carefully guarded night and day. It had another charm, being the passageway of the Gods. On Mt. Hood dwelt the beautiful Goddess of Hood. She had many lovers and was much admired by the Gods. But of all who came only two found favor, God of Mt. Ranier and God of Mt. Baker. Between these she could not choose. So daily they came to court the Goddess, and daily they passed over the bridge without seeing each other, for they could render themselves invisible. After each had pressed his suit long and ardently without making much headway, each began to fear he had a rival and to watch for him. Many moons passed without either's success. But one bright spring morning as the sun rose out of its bed, from behind the hills they met unexpectedly on the bridge. Now that they had met at last all the rage which had slumbered so long released itself and they fought. Each called up all the wind and clouds and rain and thunder and lightning of which he was master, and a great storm such as had never before been seen by even the oldest Indians from the north or south, broke with a fury. For many suns they fought causing the mountains to belch forth fire and smoke and water, until they could no longer see to grasp each other. At length with a mighty ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger crash the bridge fell into the raging torrent, and the two Gods were swept into the river and separated. Then the storm subsided, Mt. Ranier and Mt. Baker ceased to belch forth flames and smoke, the rivers once more flowed quietly toward the sea, once more the sun shone brightly. But alas! the Mystic Bridge had fallen, so must the power of the Multonomas wane, and the people die for the Great Spirit had decreed it. We still find a handful of this tribe in their old hunting grounds and the ruins of the beautiful Natural Bridge is one of the show places of the Dalles, Oregon. THE POET'S LAST POEM The poet sat racking his brains Through many long, dreary hours, He wanted to write with all of his might Some beautiful poem on flowers. He'd have a thought now and then But the next one would come amiss, So at last in despair he tore his hair And gnashing his teeth he wrote this : "Oh come where the lillies lil, And the tomtit tweets *tut tut,' Oh come with a dash where the passion flower pash And come where buttercups butte." "The clover is chewing cloves The myrtle is eating myrrh, They're sufficiently bold to want to marry gold And would with a cypress her." "They consider her tulips sweet And they think she has scads in phlox, But what will they do when they find to their rue It's that counterfeit coin shamrocks." "The nightshade arranged in primrose Makes a food that is most deliterious, Though eat it you may in the daisy day, . You'll feel toward night-blooming-cereus." "If the mushrooms won't eat mush The weeping willow will, Then come with a dash where the passion flowers pash And come where the lilies lill." Said the poet then, "It is up To me to commit suicide" But he hadn't a knife to still the strife, Nor a gun nor poison to end his life So he read his own poem and died. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 SENIORS A most delightful and long-to-be-remembered event in the life of the Senior class was the unique reception given in their honor by their class teacher, Miss Frances S. Hays. The cozy rooms in Miss Hay's new home on Garden street were tastefully decorated, the prevailing tone being the class color, yellow. The fore part of the evening was given over to games and a guessing contest in which Miss Minnie Alice Osberg won the prize, a beautiful little souvenir spoon with "Normal, '06" engraved on the inside of the bowl. During the latter part of the evening all gathered in the parlor and there by the light of the spacious fireplace they listened to some quaint Hawaiian love songs sung in the native tongue by Miss Edna Horner, who played her own accompaniment on the "Ukalele," a sweet-toned little instrument much used and much loved by the natives of Hawaii. Miss Hays was assisted by Miss Myrl Hays, Miss Ada Hogle, Miss Sperry and Miss Edna Horner. The Seniors all have so much originality and have learned from Mr. Wilson's History of Education lectures so much about individuality t h a t they cannot decide upon any one style of class pin; hence the '06 pins are still a thing of the future. At the Bellingham Normal on the afternoon of January 23, there was much whispering in secluded corners of the halls and a frantic search for substitute teachers. Forgotten lesson plans were hastily made up, and lessons shut up in the various lockers. The cause: Accompanied by Miss Hays twelve members of the Senior Oratory class boarded the steamer Whatcom for Seattle. Purpose: To make a study of the play, "Ingomar" as presented by Louis James. No doubt, had Louis James and his company ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger known of the gifted critics who leaned over the rail of the balcony with note book and pencil in hand, they would have trembled and been overcome with stage freight, for The Timarch of Massilia with Polydor, Parthenia, Actea, Myron, and Ingomar himself were there. The Bellingham company received many helpful suggestions from a study of the characters and feel that the time was well spent even if they did find ghastly specters of forgotten exams, awaiting them on their return. "Ingomar" will be played by the Oratory class of the Normal school in the near future and the company are confident that if the event is well advertised in Seattle many will be glad to take advantage of the last and only time that "Ingomar" will be presented by the members of the Bellingham company, Miss Hays, Manager. THE JUNIOR RECEPTION One of the most enjoyable affairs of the school \'ear was the annual Junior reception held in the Normal Society Hall on the evening of December 7. The invited guests were the Normal students and about seventy-five outsiders. Early in the evening the hall, which was prettily decorated with cozy corners, a gypsy tent and the class colors, was alive with boys and girls. A short program consisting of piano solos by Misses Pillman and France and a number of familiar magazine advertisements illustrated by members of the class were well rendered. Later a conversation game and fortune telling afforded a great deal of amusement. We sincerely hope that some of our flowery fortunes will come true. Refreshments consisting of home baked cookies, cider and fudge were served in the Y. W. room. At a late hour every one slow- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 ly wended their way home ward, declaring that they had had one of the best times of their school existence. The Juniors are to be complemented on their success. JUNIOR Election of officers for the following semester was held Wednesday, Jan. 31. President Scannel was re-elected by an almost unanimous vote; Lessie Hankins was elected Vice-President, Francis Arnold, Secretary, Irene Selby, Treasurer, Benton Mc Clure, Sergeant-at-Arms. The Junior Basket Ball girls have elected Miss Edith Perkins as Manager of the Junior Team for the next semester. Miss Nora Cor-bett served in place of Miss Coburn, who left Normal just after Christmas, but school work would not permit the former to accept the office for the second semester. New Juniors entering the second semester are: Miss Eason, of Seattle; Miss Marylea Pemberton, of Tacoma. Miss Clark, of Seattle; Mr. Robinson. JUNIOR QUERIES: Who flunked in Psychology ? What did you pass in, Gym ? How many are taking mental Arith over, just to be thorough? Don't all speak at once. Prof. Romine spent the first of the week visiting friend(-s) in Tacoma. We do hope he will be kind to us when he corrects our Biology exams, Mr. A.—"There is a new Junior boy." Junior Girl—"Oh, joy! Is he nice looking? " Mr. A.—"Yes, and his wife is, also."

FEBRUARY, 1906 No. 4 EDITORIALS The new semester,. which began January 29, promises to be a busy, profitable and interesting one, both for students and faculty. Some of the old students have left to enter new fields of work. In their places have come the new ones. To the former our best wishes for their success and to the new students a welcome. During their stay among us may they glean something that, added to their life's crown, may prove a benefit and joy forever. Everything comes to those who wait, The lazy man sits down to greet it; But success comes on with a rapid rate, To the fellow who goes to meet it. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 Where are the Freshmen ? Couldn't they find the Messenger Box ? The basket ball schedule for the Kline cup contest, beginning February 2, '06, has been formed, and from this date the games will occur every two weeks in the Normal gymnasium: February 16, March 2, March 16, March 30, April 6 final for cup. WHY is IT? That in all the classes From '11 to '06 Disagreement is so often mixed ? Obvious reason:— Lack of adhesion.—Z. I. P. HOW TO KILL A SCHOOL PAPER 1. Do not subscribe; borrow your roommate's paper. Just be a sponge. 2. Look up the advertisers and then go and trade with the other fellow. Be a chump. 3. Never hand in a news item and criticise everything in the paper. Be a coxcomb. If you can't get a hustle on your anatomy and help make the paper a success, be a corpse exit.—Z. I. P. Sometimes on our platform there appears a messenger greater than his message. However, we greatly appreciate the speaker whose message is the major to the messenger. While we may appear to welcome both we much prefer the latter. "The polisher needs precious stone no less than precious stone needs polisher." "Measure your mind's height by the shade it casts." THIRD YEARS A meeting of the Third Year class was held January 15 and the following officers were elected: President, Walter Nichols; Vice- President, Dorothy Jennings; Secretary and Treasurer, Geneveive Martin: Sargeant-at-arms, Raymond Montgomery. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger The Third Year class is a strong one, full of vim and enthusiasm. We are not dead, but are lying dormant awaiting the spring when we will burst forth with renewed vigor. We are sorry to loose from our class circle Messrs. Davenport and Montgomery, who have thought a change in vocation advisable. SFXOND YEARS During the past month we had quite an extensive sick list for which we were indeed sorry. Miss Mabel Spencer was out of school for two weeks on account of illness. Miss Grace Allen while home for vacation was taken ill and did not return until several days after school began. Miss McCrate one of our most active members has been ill, but we are glad to say she is with us again. A welcome to Miss Gillilan. Miss Grace Tremain was very pleasantly surprised by a visit from her big brother, Harvey, just before the holidays. He said he enjoyed his visit very much—the excess of girls was too much for him. Several new students have entered our class, Miss Richards, just from the east, Miss Upton and Miss Bayly are among the number. Hustle up Second Years and get your basket ball team in order for the contests are on the way. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ON THE SIDE Exam., cram Flunk, trunk Needles and pins, needles and pins When a girl teaches her trouble begins. So does the critic teacher's There was a little prof. And he had a little tongue And it kept slowly wagging in his head, head, head And he talked before a class For an hour and a half Till their eyelids all were heavy Just like lead, lead, lead. EXCHANGE The atmosphere of a genuine winter—such, as natives of Puget Sound can never know-by experience, is brought to us in the beautiful little poems on "Winter" found in the columns of the Prospect. We have been on the lookout for the Outlook but thus far we have looked in vain. The Academy Journal certainly has some literary members and a hard working editor. He knows how to rustle and whats more he does it. Keep it up journalists! Your exchange column has a true ring to it. THESPIAN SOCIETY The Thespian Society met in room 71 on Friday, January 12, '06. A good program was given and everybody enjoyed it. Miss Holt gave an instrumental solo; Miss Sullivan gave us a vocal solo, which was heartily encored; Miss Williams gave us a talk on "The Life of Shakespeare"; and Miss Wallon "The Development of the Theatre and the Stage"; Miss Cowing gave us a reading from "As You Like I t , " Orlando and Rosalind in the Forest of Arden. CLIONEAN January 12, 1906. The society met and an exceptionally good program was ren- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger dered, each number being well prepared and given. As this was the date for the election of officers a motion was made and carried that the secretary cast the vote of the society for the old officers to serve another term. ALKASIAH The Alkasiah's last meeting was a business session at which the following officers were elected: Selma Glinberg, President; Lilian Fogg, Vice-President; Beatrice Armour, Secretary; Veda Forrest, Treasurer; Lena Smith, Press Reporter; Christine Thiel and Lena Dodd, Consuls. At the previous meeting of the club the following program was rendered: Paper on Peace Movement Miss Fogg Vocal Solo Miss Glineberg Influence of Peace Movement on the Position of Women Miss Gooch Roosevelt's Position on Peace Movement... Miss Armour Remarks Miss Baker DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club met on January fifth, and again on the seventeenth. The literary programs rendered were fairly good and consisted as usual of debates, songs, essays and recitations. The attendance at both of these meetings was rather small. However, on February first, when the members of the club were royally entertained by the Alkisiah Society, every member that found it possible came. The entertainment was a complete success, and when it was moved at a special meeting of the club to send the Alkisiah Society a vote of thanks, every member answered aye. ATHLETICS "Sumas, Sumas, we were only beating you, Sumas, Sumas, just see what we could do— of course you know that we were winning, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 winning, winning for the Normal blue. Don't be angry—we were only, only beating you," —so we sang, but really it turned out that we were only teasing Sumas, for the game which the Normal boys played with the Sumas team on Saturday, January 20th, resulted in a tie; the score being 7 to 7. Such fast and rough basket ball has never been played by our Normal boys before, but when one is playing basket ball against a foot ball team, one must "do as the Romans do when in Rome." Certainly all who went with the team to Sumas appreciated the game, but we also appreciated many other items of attraction— such as the snow storm, and the big brass band, the procession to the opera house where the game was played, the vaudeville performance before the game, the walk over the boundary line into Canada and the snow ball fight. What haven't we in store for Sumas when the return game is played here ? ALUMNI Miss Lucy Vestal '03 and Miss Mary G. Bird, a former student and ex-editor-in-chief of the NORMAL MESSENGER, visited the vari-ious departments of the training school and the Normal last week. Both of these young ladies are teaching in Snohomish. Mrs. Lilly Carter Mayer, '03, who now resides in Matlock, Mason Co., has a fine new baby girl. Miss Alta Barton, a member of last year's Junior class, is teaching an ungraded school at Rainier, Thurston Co. Miss Margaret Schneider, '03, and Miss Elsa Schneider, '04, visited the Normal for a day last week. Miss Margaret is teaching in the Port Townsend schools and Miss Elsa is teaching a t Lemolo, Whatcom Co. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Thomas Monnett, of the class of '02, is teaching the Excelsior school this year and Lucius Jones, '03, is principal at Nooksack. Miss Marie Wheeler, '05, has charge of the primary grades in the Oakland school in Tacoma and is doing some very good work. That sly little archer, Cupid, has been at his work again and this time the victim is Thomas Korstad of the '01 class. The bride is Miss Julia Forgeson of Seattle and the wedding took place in that city on the evening of December 24. Mr. Korstad is a teacher in the north side High school, so the young people will make this city their future home. LOCALS Miss Pearl Peime, a member of the MESSENGER staff, is ill with pleurisy at St. Luke's* hospital. Mr. Arthur Robinson, a former student, has returned to take up his work in the Junior class. Miss Grace Dickey spent the fore part of the week in the city. Raymond Montgomery has left school, and has accepted a position to test his ability as pedagog. Miss Ethel Birney, who completed her course at the Normal, has accepted a position in the Sedro-Woolley schools. Miss Winnie Green has been called away from school on account of the illness of her mother. On Monday, January 29th, the Normal school and their guests, the students and faculties of the two high schools, met in the Assembly Hall at 3 p. m. and listened to a short musical program given by students of the school and to an excellent address by Rev. Mason of Seattle. '06.. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 February - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 Messrs. Phelps and March still find it impossible to leave the Normal class of '06, and be content with their lot as University Freshmen. It is due to this fact they so nobly defended the old gold on Monday and thereby not only saved the day for the Seniors but also won added renown for themselves. The deep regret, the bitter shame, As this semester now I meet, I must do my work all o'er again, Or just acknowledge my defeat. JANITOR. MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

At that time more than forty new classes were organized, including review work in common branches, classes in advanced subjects as well as methods classes in several of the common school branches. The school is always able to find good boarding places for all who come, and excellent accommodations may be secured for four dollars per week. Furnished rooms for light housekeeping may also be rented at very reasonable prices. OPPORTUNITY TO WORK The Normal School has always been able to secure places in private homes for all young ladies who wish to work for their board while attending school. At the present time places can be found for a dozen girls if there are girls who will accept this excellent opportunity to attend school at the minimum of cost. The school is always glad to assist students to find places where they may earn their board and room while in school, and correspondence is invited from all who are interested in further details.

If you have Been "slammed" in our issue, we can only say "slam back," but if you are Seniors, do for your own sakes be original! WHO SHALL TEACH MY DAUGHTER? In the eyes of the law the teacher stands, while on duty, in loco parentis, i. e., in the place of the parent. But in many other ways she stands in loco parentis. From the age of six years on, the child spends nearly one-half its waking hours with another than its mother, and this during its most plastic, impressionable age. How often at home is heard: "My teacher says or my teacher thinks or my teacher does so and so." If the home is bad and the teacher good, one may see how easily the teacher's influence may reach beyond her school room to sweeten and leven, both in an ethical and artistic way. But if the home is good, cultured, beautiful, while the teacher is a clod, how often may the parent's heart be saddened by daily signs of the teacher's indelible marks upon the child. In the Connecticut Valley are a series of red sandstone rocks, which upon being quarried reveal a wonderful tale of days gone by, •when creeping, crawling, slimy monsters moved over the sands when they were soft and impressionable. Not less far reaching and indelible are the marks of a teacher upon the soul of a child. So, I am deeply concerned as to who shall teach my little daughter when she starts to school. She is no better, no smarter, no more valuable to the state than the average American child, but still she is mine and I am largely responsible for her happiness and future well being. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 Who shall her teacher be? First, let her be in fairly good health. Let her have no contagious disease. The reason is evident. Let her be nervously sound. Bad health reacts upon the disposition, making a jerky, fretful complaining teacher. Some people cheer us by their calmness. They are like good medicine. Others depress us by their lack of vitality. The nervous, sickly person owes it to himself as well as to the community to engage in some other occupation than teaching. Second, may my daughter's teacher be a woman of honor. I want her to believe in the square deal. A friend of mine visited a school room. A child of the poor entered, gave the teacher a bunch of clover blossoms. The teacher expressed thanks mechanically. Soon a child of wealth entered and presented the teacher with beautiful roses. Thanks were effusive. A little while after the clovers were in the waste basket; the roses enthroned on the teacher's desk. Thus are the seeds of political unrest sown in young hearts to bear fruit in the future. Let my ideal teacher abhor a lie as she would the small-pox. Let her heart be large and wondrous kind, sensitive to the manifold trials of a little child and ready with sympathy. She will not needlessly inflict suffering on a single one of God's creatures, however lowly. A part of her moral teaching will be kindness to animals. Let her not be addicted to that disgusting habit—gossip. I know of people who are fervently religious, particular in all that pertains to the form or empty shuck of religion, but who do not disdain to rip their friends and enemies up the back on all occasions. Their judgments are cruel. I trust that if she cannot speak in compliment she will keep silent. Gossips are the worst of social nuisances. If the world is ever reformed, it will not be by tongue lashing but by noble example. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger My ideal teacher will not be "swagger," if I know what that means. No loud woman to teach my child—none who prides herself on meeting men half way or even being free with them. For this ideal one the bars of feminine modesty are always up. Third, may her teacher be one whose soul is attuned to the beautiful. I do not mean her to be one who raves over art. True artists and art lovers do not "rave." An appreciation of the holiness of beauty renders one silent. The empty gourd rattles; the shallow brook babbles. She should know how to dress herself—to get herself up; should know what colors she can wear. It is surprising how much children like you; how much better they behave when you are attractively dressed. A bright waist will often save a gloomy day. Let this ideal teacher know good pictures; understand color harmony; have some acquaintance with the great painters whose works are so commonly copied. Little chats with children on these topics leave a bias and impression that is lasting. Fourth, let my daughter's teacher be sound in her scholarship. Let her speak the English language with elegance. This first, for while mistakes in arithmetic teaching may be outgrown or corrected, habits of speech cling to us like our complexion. The speech habits of youth are practically indelible. Let her know her subjects—arithmetic, grammar, or what not that she is called upon t o teach. Fifth, let her rule from principle rather than from affection or brute force. May my child be led to do things because it is right and eternally fit that she do them, not because she loves her teacher. If my child is rude, I wish her to apologize; not because her teacher wishes or compels her to do so, but ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 because any fair-minded person should do so when he has been rude. Sixth, let her be a happy teacher. No recluse, cut off from every day life, for my child. Let her not mope her evenings and her health away with papers—examination or otherwise. How can she fit my child for a rational place in life and society when she has no such place herself? Lastly, let my daughter's teacher be a progressive teacher. Eyes open for new methods, devices, adornments for her work. To her the institute is not a bore. School journals are used for what there is in them of value to her work. Best of all, she visits, when time allows, the best schools within reach, ready t o seize upon new and good ideas. You will notice I have not placed scholarship first. My daughter is not to spend half her waking hours with a human text book, in arithmetic merely, but with a living being with power to mould a child for good or ill. For the teacher, much as I have sketched her, superintendents are looking, school boards are looking, good positions are looking, and I shall soon be looking. E. P. EPLEY. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Do you see the man? This man is a Line-man. Do you think his Feet are Cold? Yes, of course, his Feet are Cold. What do you see about the Picture? Those are the Socks the Seniors sold Candy to Buy. Will these Socks Cure his Cold Feet? Not if the Juniors are Near. Naughty Juniors! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger il AS OTHERS SEE US One day, a few weeks ago, I went upon the Normal campus for the first time. Not knowing where to go, I walked rather slowly until a girl overtook me and said, "Good morning" in such tones that I at once unburdened my heart to her, and like an angel she volunteered to guide me through the building. As we entered the door, she stopped to look at the bulletin boards. "On this side," she said, "you get the latest news from the seat of war;" and I read, "Students may have their grade slips at 10:30 in my room-A. P. R." "This side, "she went on, "is where the announcements of the latest and best shows are;" and I read, "Senior pop-corn sale at noon." Girls were going in every direction; indeed, some of them seemed to be going crazy. ' 'Where are the boys? " I asked. "Hush," she demanded. "Don't mention it in the halls, you might be reported to the faculty." She then pointed out the office. "And this," she said, "is the faculty room." "Oh," I exclaimed, "do students ever go in here?" "Yes, sometimes," she replied. "Have you ever been in?" "Er—yes—a few—you see, I wanted to take an extra study and had to see 'em about it." "You industrious girl! What did you take?." "Oh! I took mental arithmetic over. Mamma wanted me to, so I would be more thorough." Just then a troup of children marched by. "Seniors?" quizzed I. "No; training-school hopefuls." They had scarcely vanished when I saw the top of a head appear over the banister at the end of the hall. "Is that a Normal or a training-schoolboy?" whispered I,remember- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger ing her remark about mentioning them in the halls. "Training-school."answered she. Just then he came up the steps and vanished in the room to the right. I gasped, "Isn't he a large boy; what class is he in ?" "Species Rominus," said she. Well, we went to the library and had barely reached it when the bell rang for assembly. On the way we met a girl, who looked as if she had been cooking oyer a hot stove for several hours. "Just come from the gym, hasn't she?" I asked. "Oh! dear, no," my friend replied. "She has been teaching a class in the seventh grade." I didn't understand Assembly very well. That "Species something" isn't a member of training school at all, 'cause he stood up behind the piano. Another fellow hid behind the curtain. They sang one very funrty song. All I could understand was, "Peas and Onions— peas and onions, thro out our happy land," but then they teach agriculture up here. After Assembly we went to a class where there was a little teacher and he grew angry about something—I guess some one must have been peeking at his grade book. Anyway, he said "Confound it," and I came right home to mamma. P. B. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 LOCALS The third number of the lecture course, Mrs. Engberg's violin recital, was foremost among the musical events Of the city during the past season. Misses Perkins and Getchel of the Junior class went to Seattle Feb. 16th, on business. Junior Girl, on Feb. 21—'Tmso glad that Washington was born." "Why?" "Because we won't have any school tomorrow." Addresses have been given in assembly by Miss Baker on the "School City," and by Prof. Wilson on "Marshall Field." Other members of the faculty will have their turn in "enlightning us." The students and the training school were treated to some very fine magic lantern views by Mr. Epley. It made us all wish that we had helped "climb Mt. Baker." We are pleased to add Miss lone Chandler of the '05 class of B. H. S. to our Junior list. Dr. Mathes "went over the mountains," into the Palouse region again, "to see what he could see." We must not let him go too often, for every time he goes he becomes more attached to that part of Washington. Miss Minnie LeSourd visited friends in Blaine last week. Every one was delighted with the rendition of "The Merchant of Venice" by Marshall Darrach, the Shakespearean reader. "The ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger Merchant of Venice" is more attractive as a comedy than as a tragedy. Miss Hattie Denzel has been unable to attend school on account of illness. Many of the students were seen in the "Normal box" at the presentation of "Lohengrin," the greatest musical treat this city has ever enjoyed. Miss Nellie Appleby and Miss Helen Gold-thwaite are going to board the remainder of the school year, on account of their parents leaving the city. The faculty of the Normal School gave a reception to the teachers of the city schools Feb. 21. The guests of the hour were Mr. Shafer of the Cheney Normal and President Bryan of Pullman. Prof. F. (in the time problems)—"Last time we had twelve o'clock, and now two in the morning; what next?" Voice from back of the room—"Landlady objects." Miss Corbett spent several days at her home in Seattle. Seattle has numerous attractions for Nora. Washington Wilson went down to meet the Chinese embassy, at Seattle, and failed to be on duty Monday. We can't afford to lose Mr. Wilson, our minds would go astray. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 THE SENIORS PRAYER The last exam, was done; the class Sought credits where their credit slips were bare, And to the faculty cried, "Oh Thou, Who rule our fates, we make this prayer." They bowed their heads, and bent their knees, As they to the seat of knowledge came; Then pleading voices rose once more, "O'erlook our flunks—our marks of shame." "Our clumsy feet, still in the mire, The paths of knowledge blindly trend. We never can escape from here, If fates on grade steps must depend." "Those things we had not sense to say; Who knows how grand they might have been? But for our blunders here and there, Who knows what medals we might win." The room was hushed; despair fell on The class, who knew full well the rule; Yet once again each prayed his prayer, "Oh Thou, be merciful to me, a fool." ALUMNI Miss Alice Kibbe, '05, is teaching at PeEll, Wash. Miss Grace Drake, '05, is guiding the intellectual growth of the grade at Marysville. The following '05 graduates are teaching: Miss Isabelle Gibson, a country school at Springbrook; Miss Katherine Houts, at Ballard; Miss Else Anthon, at Friday Harbor; Miss Winnie McMullen, at Auburn. Miss Lottie Graham, '04, is a successful teacher in the sixth and seventh grades in her home at Avon. Miss Graham visited her sister and the Normal Feb. 7. Mr. Lynus Kibbe, an '05 graduate, is still climbing the tree of knowledge in McMinnville College, near Portland, Oregon. Miss Bertha Kale, who attended Normal in 1903, is teaching at Everson. Miss Kale was among the visitors at the basket ball game between Normal and Sumas. The friends of Miss Mabel Murphy were surprised to hear that she has given up her promising career as a teacher and is now ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Mrs. Edgar Bordeaux, residing at Bordeaux, Wash., near Olympia. Miss Elsie Wyatt has also changed her vocation and is now Mrs. K. Belcher of Mossyrock. Miss Grace Willey is teaching an eight-months' term of school at Mason Lake, near Shelton. Miss Carie Robinson, who has taught school for two years since leaving Normal, is now being trained for a trained nurse in Fanny Paddock Hospital, Tacoma. Miss Nellie Ramsay, '05, and Miss Charlotte Pond, who attended Normal in 1904, are teaching at Ferndale. Miss Belle McRae, '05, is teaching in the Everett public schools. THE JUNIORS Never in the history of the Bellingham Normal has that institution had soR!many talented young men and women enrolled in one class. Almost every county in the state is represented and many of the eastern states have also contributed to their number. Pluck and grit are two noted characteristics of this class. That quality—class spirit, which is much desired by all classes is not wanting. Loyally, and without help from under classmen, do the Juniors uphold the Black and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 White in every honorable fray. In victory generous to the fallen foe, in defeat—but they never have been defeated. The class is very ably assisted by their class teacher, Miss Sperry and a very efficient corps of officers, in all that they do. They have shown their appreciation of the work done by their president by re-electing him for this semester. THE SENIORS Themes for theses have been handed in, assignments to teachers have been made, and the work on "English Ten" has begun in earnest. At a recent election the class chose the following officers for the second semester: Elizabeth Williams, Pres.; Luella N. C. Whitaker, Vice-Pres.; Katherine McNeflf, Sec; Tressie Flesher, Treas.; Selma Glineburg, Sergeant-at- Arms. The Oratory Class of last semster have again begun working on "Ingomar,"and in a short time will be able to give an excellent rendering. BOYS DEBATING CLUB A regular meeting of the Boy's Debating Club was held on February 16. Owing to the basket ball game played that evening, the program was limited to a debate: "Resolved, that the government of England is more democratic than that of the United States." Mr. Herman Smith lead the affirmative, winning much applause because of the thorough knowledge of the subject put forth. Mr. C. Jones ably handled the negative. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. SIRIUS LITERARY SOCIETY A business meeting of the Sirius Literary Society was held the last week of the past semester for the purpose of electing officers. The officers elected were: President, Carrie Schuh; Vice-President, Loretta Rue; Secretary, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger Grace Armstrong; Treasurer, Ellen O'Farrell, and Sergeant-at-arms, Rosalie Rourke. The two meetings of this semester have been well attended and good programs have been rendered. The society is achieving its purpose, which is to arouse a keen interest in good literary work among its members, some of whom are especially talented in that line. The musical nembers of the program are always appreciated by all present. The meetings of the Sirius Society are held in the Normal Society Hall, they are open to the public and everyone is welcome at any time. CLIONEAN Two very entertaining programs were rendered by the Clionean Society during February; one on the ninth, the other on the twenty-third. One of the most enjoyable features of these programs was its musical numbers, which were well given. It also had some very good essays on current topics of the day and the lives of some of our greatest American citizens. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association has recently elected the following officers for the coming year: Minnie LeSourd, President; Ada Myers, Vice-President; Olive Kale, Secretary; Gladys Patric, Treasurer. The work of the new year is beginning with greater vigor and strength than has ever before been known. Many of the girls entering this semester have joined our ranks and promise to be most helpful workers. The two Bible classes, taught by Miss Sperry and Miss Gray are well attended and their effect is noticed in the spirit and the increased interest in the devotional meetings. "On to Gearhart!" is the motto of the association. Delegates from the association ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 19 ---------- The Normal Messener 19 of all the normal schools and colleges of the northwest will meet, next August, in a summer conference held at Gearhart, Oregon, a beautiful summer resort on the Pacific ocean. Girls attending this conference will not only have a delightful outing on the shores of the grand Pacific, but they will also have the opportunity of meeting and mingling with the college girls from other instutions. The afternoons are entirely devoted to sports and recreations of all kinds and college spirit reigns supreme. Our Normal school must be well represented. We expect to send at least ten delegates, a number which is equal to that of any other institution in the state. This conference will also afford a most excellent opportunity to hear several of the National Secretaries and many other prominent Christian workers of the day. Miss Helen Barnes and Miss Margaret Kyle, two of the National Student Secretaries who have visited our school, will be present, and to those who met them here, no greater inducement could be offered to go than to listen again to these charming Christian women. We are soon expecting a visit from Miss Gage, the state secretary recently appointed by the state committee. ALKASIAH The Alkasiah was organized for the purpose of self-improvement and they have set for themselves very high ideals which they constantly work to obtain. Their programs are spicy and brief, and you need only to listen to some of their magazine reviews to see they are an earnest set of young ladies wishing to be well informed on the leading questions of the day. They have not neglected the social side, and at the beginning of the new semester they entertained the Boy's Debating Club in Society Hall. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger The literary meetings are held in Miss Baker's or Miss Moore's room and visitors at any time will be gladly welcomed. ATHLETICS The most exciting basket ball game of the season occurred Saturday, February 24, between the Sumas team and the Normal team. Excitement ran high before the game as the previous game played at Sumas was a tie. The line-up of the teams was the same as before, and each side went into the game with a determination to win. At the end of the first half the score stood four to four. During the first part of the second half the Sumas team gained considerably, with the score standing ten to six in their favor. But the Normal team soon showed their superiority and when time was called we were two points ahead, the score being ten to twelve. After the game a program was given in the Society Hall. The last of a series of games between the High School and the Normal, was played February 9, which resulted in a score of thirteen to fourteen in favor of the Normal boys. The line-up was as follows: ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 21 ---------- The Normal Messenger 21 Normal High School Goodell Center Grue Petheram Forwards F.

The above picture is that of the Juniors who played in the last game between the Juniors and Third Years. IS THE NORMAL THE PLACE FOR A YOUNG MAN? Is the Normal the place for a young man? Many would answer this in the negative. They believe that the mild and gentle nature of woman is better adapted to deal with wavward youths and maidens than the stern and harsh attitude of most men, until they reach the university or some other higher school of learning than the high school. They forget that hardly 25 per cent of our population would never get the noble and wholesome influence of man's stronger nature. Impressions made on the mind and character of the child are lasting and vital to the future happiness or woe of the grown-up man or woman. We admire the fully rounded- out person, the well-balanced man. Yet let these characteristics, which seem so repugnant to us, be disseminated in the right proportion in the opposite sex—then behold the ideal man and woman, the true American. Thus I believe we are needed, boys, in the ranks of the teaching profession as much as in any of the great pursuits of life. One lamentable fact is the value the public puts on the teacher's labor—there is hardly a known trade, even, which pays its incumbents less wages than does the teaching pro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 22 ---------- 22 The Normal Messenger fession. It is principally for this reason that few young men plan to make a life's business of teaching. However, our state is not so bad in this respect as some other states in the union. The average wages paid to male teachers in this state for the year ending in June, 1905, were $62.83 according to the statistics gathered by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Normal, besides being a training school for teachers, offers many opportunities which no other school can, to persons who have not found their vocation in life. No profession demands a broader and more exhaustive preparation than does the teaching profession. So in a Normal school nearly every avenue of activity must be touched upon and its underlying principles mastered for latter use in the school room. In one department alone they have a dozen different avenues opened up to them. For instance, in the science department is suggested to them the rudiments of all kinds of scientifical experiments and adventures known to the chemist, physiologist, botanist, civil and electrical engineer, weather prophet, farmer, blacksmith, mechanic and others. In this way such persons have an opportunity to choose the occupation best suited to their nature, besides attaining a liberal education which they never would have gotten had they taken up their specialty first. Not only this, but in the practice teaching they have had an excellent chance to study human nature which will be of unbounded use to them if they enter the business world. C.D.J. '08 Now a Senior had a little dream, Easy to work was her little scheme, Long she pondered and her web did weave, Little she thought 'twould not deceive, In triumph she worked her wiles, Easy tocatch was (the"machinist"). Truth Seniors are gay deceivers ever. D. C. W. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 March - Page 23 ---------- The Normal Messenger 23 NOTES The Senior issue will probably contain the picture of an electrician of this city. The cut for this picture was loaned to the Junior class through the kindness of a local newspaper. But inasmuch as this same "machinist" worked the Senior class for fifteen ($15) dollars, (the price of '06 signs which are cut out). This one (?) original slam was cut out. Watch the Senior issue for the stolen picture. JUNIOR EDITOR. On February 5, the Normal students were favored by a visit from Gov. Mead and the Board of Trustees. Governor Mead made an address which everyone appreciated and enjoyed. Save your money for B. S. N. S. banners, which will be on sale soon. MORSE HDW. 60. W25-W39 ELK ST.

Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. V. APRIL, 1906 No. 6 EDITORIAL-THIRD YEARS We, the Third Years, present to the public this portion of the April issue of the Messenger. Our Staff is: Roy Goodell—Editor. May McLaughlin—Locals. Hazel Horn—Thespian. Roger Williams—Athletics. Charles Jones—Boys' Debating Club.. WHO READS THE JUNIOR ANNUAL? A thing which interests us all as Normal school students and future pedagogues is the effort being put forth by Mr. Schusman, superintendent of the schools of Whatcom County, for the betterment of the lighting and ventilating systems in our rural schools- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger He reports that only about seven per cent of them are properly lighted, and only six or seven have any system of ventilation. This evil he hopes to have practically overcome in five years. Let us hope other counties will follow Whatcom's example. The only thing which the Juniors and Seniors have thrown at each since the first of the year is the old hackneyed expression, "Originality." We hold that neither are very original unless they can think of something new. A most modest issue was the Junior Messenger! Poor little creatures; how delicate of other people's feelings they were? If you have been "slammed" in our issue, we can only say ' 'slamback.'' How very considerate! One would really expect though, to find something after such a statement, but in vain have we searched, unless it is meant as a sort of an apology for the article beginning with these words: "Never in the history of the Bellingham Normal has that institution had so many talented young men and women enrolled in one class" (the Junior class). This, indeed, might need an apology if the ridiculousness of the statement were not so self evident to the reader of the Messenger; even though they know nothing of the class characteristics from daily contact. Considerate Juniors don't feel so serious, for the public know well the old saying, "Who knowth not his own bazoo the same shall :not be heard." THESPIAN The Thespian Society met Friday, March 23d and the following program was rendered: Ladies quartette, "Kentucky Babe," by Misses Osberg, Sullivan, Gilbert and Myers. Act I., from "The Rivals," was given and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The picturesque costumes added greatly to the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 rendering. The young ladies taking part were: Misses Wilson, Mansfield, Myers, Wal-strand and Williams. Miss Frances Hays, who acted as critic, complimented them highly. If you wish to enjoy an hour, visit the Thespians and see the strong work which they are doing. LOCALS Mr. Wilson, on his return from Seattle, gave the students an interesting talk about the Chinese. Everyone seemed glad when Mr. Wilson returned, for it was learned the Junior's prophecy had come true, but we see their minds have been restored to their normal conditions. Miss Montgomery addressed teacher's institute a t Everett, March 13th. After the rehearsal on the evening of the 15th of March, Miss Hogle delightfully surprised the Third Year class by giving them a "spread." Miss Eva Myers will leave school the first of April and go teaching. The old proverb, "When a man gets married his troubles begin," was broken for Dr. Bowman's have already begun. His house, on the corner of Ivy and Indian streets burned March 11th. The greatest loss was the furniture stored away for future use. An address was given in assembly by Mr. Forrest on, "Life Saving Stations." The Third Year class will make a practical illustration of Mr. Forrest's suggestions by taking a trip, in the near future, to some of the islands. Everyone enjoyed the program given in assembly by a few members of the Oral Expression class. Those taking part were: Miss Ethel Cook, Miss Nord and Miss Eva Myers. Miss Hogle went to Seattle to see the ex- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger hibits of the "Arts and Crafts Association" and to inspect the work of the public schools of that city. Dr. Mathes has returned from his trip to Eastern Washington. The old saying that the Third Years never do things by halves is still good. Their St. Patrick's reception given March 19 was one of the most enjoyable social functions of the season. Even Demosthenes of old awoke and attired himself in green for the occasion. The guests were first taken to the auditorium where the following program was rendered: Piano Solo Ethel Cook *-* e-™" is, ssr^ssr"1 Recitation Ina Long Male Ouartette JR o y G o o d e l l gt; L e o n Cory Male quartette j M r T i b b l e S ) H F S m i th Piano Duet Misses Smith Vocal Solo Eva Myers Farce "An Interrupted Proposal" Class Song. After the program the guests dispersed to the different rooms, where they were entertained by the class. Ice cream and cake was served. The Third Years are going to have a good time. A trip to the islands and a moonlight excursion are now being planned. Our former Editor-in-Chief, Miss Sarah Van Reypen, is now teaching at Albian. The best wishes of the entire school go with her in her new vocation. Many of the students went to their respective homes during vacation, but are all back again "hard at work." A picnic is being planned by a committee made up of students and faculty for the entire Normal Schools. This outing is to be at Glacier. Every body is expecting to have a glorious, good time. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 ATHLETICS BOYS' BASKET BALL TEAM TOP ROW: Cory, Forward; Nichols, Guard; Pethran, Forward; Scannell, Mgr. BOTTOM Row: Foerschler, Forward; Goodell, Center; Williams, Guard. The basketball season is over and the boys will no longer be seen at their practice. The team was the best that ever represented this school; and the boys were very much disappointed in not being able to secure games with some other Sound teams. However, out of the six games played they were never defeated. Five players were selected at the beginning of the year, and all held their position through to the last game. Never before has so much interest been manifest by both the students and faculty. The last game was played between the Third Year class team and the High School regular team, and was for the purpose of proving to the High School, t h a t although the Third Year class had been ruled out of the Doig Cup contests they had a team which could defeat anything in the city. The score at the end of the game stood 18 to 14 in favor of the Third Years and the High School went home realizing that they had met with defeat three times at the hands of the Normal boys. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger Much interest is being displayed in the Kline Cup contests. Out of the five teams competing, the cup now lies between three: the Second Years, Juniors and Seniors. Two more games will decide who shall win the cup and the championship of the school. Although nothing positive can be stated it is generally believed, by close followers of the games, that either the Juniors or Seniors will win. The Second Years have been defeated by both of the other teams. In the last games the Juniors won from the Second Years with a score of 18 to 9 and the First Years, after having lost the game by default, won from the Seniors with a score of 6 to 5. This is the second time the First Years have lost by default, and afterwards won the game. The first time was with the Juniors. TENNIS The interest in tennis is awakening and as soon as the courts are in condition a large number of students will spend their leisure moments in the open air instead of in the gymnasium. BASE BALL Now that the basket ball season is coming to a close and the bright spring days are here, the boys are turning their attention to base ball. Several of last year's players are back, and some very valuable new material has come in. Williams, Nichols, Petheram and Goodell are old men, tried out, and made very good with the Normal last year. With this material the boys expect to turn out a team which will hold its own with any in the city. The only thing which will hamper the success of the boys will be the lack of grounds upon which to do their practice work. Nine of the Gammua Phis who were stranded in Bellingham during vacation were delightfully entertained at the summer home of Miss Helen Miller at Rusticana on Lake Whatcom. On Saturday morning, laden with blankets and provisions, the girls wended their way to "Chapless Camp," where they remained till Monday evening. Canoeing and dancing filled the fleeting hours. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 BOYS' DEBATING CLUB The Young Men's Debating Club, which was organized a little over a year ago by about a dozen young men, now includes in its membership all of the boys in the Normal and is known as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, literary society in the school. The boys exert every energy in order to make their meetings interesting and lively as well as instructive. Their meetings are open to the public and are generally quite well attended by the rest of the student body. During the next month a number of the members of the faculty have consented to address the club on different subjects which will add new interest to the programs. On Thursday evening, March 29, the following officers took their offices for a term of two months and afterwards a very enthusiastic and interesting program was rendered, although a number of the members on the program were absent on account of the vacation over Friday and Monday: Pesident, Chas. D. Jones; Vice-President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary and Treasurer, Ray Smith; Sar-geant- at-arms, Paul Petheran; Program Committee, A. Robinson, R. Goodell and A. Anderson. Following is the program as rendered: Dialect recitation Magnus Peterson An interesting paper on Current Events R. Goodell Debate: Resolved, that the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution has been affirmed. Affirmative, E. Johnson and P. Scannel. Negative, R. C. Tibbels and H. F. Smith. The decision of the judges was rendered two to one in favor of the negative. After the debate E. A. Foerschler, Benton McClure, and Walter Nichols were called upon by the president to make impromptu speeches on topics of present interest to the public, which they handled with considerable skill, producing much laughter in the audience. At the business meeting Messrs. Fred ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 10 ---------- 16 The Normal Messeriget Johnson and H. E. Bloyd were unanimously chosen to take up the debate which is to be part of the program to be given sometime the last week of school by the classes in oral expression. The program will consist of a dramatical contest and this debate. THE CLASS OF 1911 EDITORIAL-FIRST YEARS In this, the April issue of the Messenger, we the First Years will endeavor to make this, our portion of the paper, as interesting as possible. Our Staff is: Bessie Stanton—Editor. Ruby Moss—Y. W. C. A. Olive Kale—Alkisiah. LOCALS We are very sorry to say that Carrie Smith, our president and basket ball manager has left school. The Misses Baldwin, Cowden, Hall and Finch were very cordially welcomed as members of our class this second semester. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ALKLSIAH By the work which the Alkisiah Club have been doing and are doing at the present time, they are surely carrying out what was planned for them in the beginning of the life of the club; namely, to read, discuss and learn about the great problems and questions of the day. The rendering of the last three programs are proof of this. The programs on Juvenile Courts and Roycroft were especially interesting and instructive. They contained some things which awakened new and deeper thought. The club has realized that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so we have planned an outing or picnic for the near future. At the last meeting the following officers were elected for the coming ten weeks: Kate Long, President; Clara Perault, Vice-President; Dolly Jennings, Secretary; Olive Kale, Treasurer; Gladys Patric, Reporter; Annie Nord and Carrie Peterson, Consuls. The election of officers takes place every ten weeks in order that all of the members may have the opportunity of holding office. A hearty welcome is extended to all fellow students and faculty. Y. W. C. A. The Normal students who are obliged to carry cold lunches, appreciate the delicious cocoa served daily by the Y. W. C. A. They also enjoy the variation, occasionally, of coffee and pie. This is only one of the phases of good work carried on by the energetic Y. W. C. A. girls. We are disappointed when we heard that Miss Gage, our new state secretary, would not make us her intended visit this spring. She felt that her work was more needed elsewhere than in Bellingham. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger The announcement of the marriage of Miss Margaret Kyle to Mr. E. E. Barber, will undoubtedly be of great interest to her many young friends in Bellingham. The ceremony-is to take place in Cambridge, Mass., on the 31st of March. The steamer Slavonia, which sails April 3d, will carry them part of their way to Italy where the}' will remain three months. On their return she will attend the Gearhart conference. FIRST YEAR NOTES FIRST YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM Senior (talking to freshie)— "I've looked in two books about horses and one says the first horses came from Arabia and the other says from Asia. Now how will I tell that to my class?" "Well," answered the wide-awake freshie, "Isn't Arabia in Asia? " Senior sore distressed! Landlady (to her Senior roomer)—"I have just discovered that you have a sixteen candle power light in your room. How is that, when the rest of us in the house only have an eight power? " Senior — "We are studying 'Browning' now" replied the guilty one, "and I just have to have it to shed more light on the subject.'^ ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 EDITORIAL-SECOND YEARS The motto "Launched but not anchored," could be very aptly applied to the Sophomore class. This, our second year of work, is near-ing its close, and though our class is few in numbers its association throughout the past year has been characterized by the class spirit and enthusiasm which is usually seen in the Sophomore class of all schools. Among our achievements in the social line was a class party and this we hope soon to follow by others equally as enjoyable. Our class officers which you will see in the front row in the picture, are President, H. E. Bloyd; Secretary, May McCrait; Treasurer, Mary Jacobson; Vice-President, May McCall. Our Editorial staff for this issue of the paper consists of: Editor—Miss Call. Reporters—Misses Wahl, Olson, Nord and /Rowley. Hurrah for the Crimson and Gray! ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger CLIONEAN The Clionean seems to be the favorite society in the school. It is now the largest and is continually increasing in its membership. The society has done some very good work in the past and hope to continue the same in the future. The last two programs rendered were both very interesting and well given, consisting of musical numbers, essays and recitations. THE SIRIUS The Sirius Literary Club has been doing excellent work during the past month, and has made commendable progress in the direction of the high aim which it has set. The newljr-elected officers have proven themselves very able in administering the affairs of the society and are by their example awakening much interest and enthusiasm which bids fair to make the remaining meetings of the year very beneficial. SECOND YEAR BASKET BALL TEAM SECOND YEAR NOTES OUS BASKET BALL TEAM During the first few months of school the Sophomores were a quiet class, and stood calmly by, listening to the noisy prattle of the other classes. By-and-by the basket ball fever struck the school. It is very contagious and the Sopho- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 mores "caught" it. Previous to this, a great wind had swept over the class and blown the chaff off towards the Third Years. The few good kernels that remained decided that they would have a team, and they did. Inspired by the taunts we received, we went into the games with much the same spirit as our forefathers of Revolutionary days, and though we have never boasted about our team, it has made a very creditable showing, being the only one of the elementary class teams that could enter the final contests. The line-up is as follows: May Call, Rose Williams, Forwards; Annie Nord, Center; Frances Daly, Mable Spencer, Guards. The Second Year Class congratulate themselves on being the proud possessor of a real young man. He is the only one of the "Second Year boys" who is true to his colors. The others seem to favor "orange and black," (striking contrasts are apt to attract children. S. C. We regret the loss of Miss Wooldridge from our ranks. Cheer up little freshies Mother loves you 'tis true, But she isn't here to comfort you So please don't Boo Hoo! SENIOR NOTES On the evening of March 23, 1906, at the hour of 8 o'clock, the brave and learned Juniors assembled at the north door of the Normal building, where they were met by several "backward" Seniors. The Juniors naturally very forward, became in turn very "backward" at the sight of several stalwart policemen with vigorous clubs, so much so, indeed, that they mounted the stairs to the Society Hall in a very becoming and "backward" manner. The Juniors, however, soon recovered their usual habit of "forwardness" and although not all were able to "get their money's worth," yet they generally expressed themselves as having spent a very pleasant evening. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 April - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS - = KERN'S = - PURE ICE CREAM AND CANDIES WE CATER TO PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PARTIES FANCY ICE CREAM FROZEN PUDDINGS WATER ICES INDIVIDUAL MOULDS PHONE MAIN 2SB1 11B W.

EDWARD T. MATHES President Belli ngh am State Normal School ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [3] ---------- PRESIDENT EDWARD T. MATHES, PH. D. An Appreciation. "The modern majesty consists in work. What a man does is his greatest monument." When the Whatcom Normal School was called into existence in 1899 ft chose for its administrative head Dr. Edward T. Mathes, who then occupied the chair of history in the Lewiston Normal in Idaho. The choice was a wise one, for the school has prospered wonderfully under his far-sighted and conscientious management. It stands unique as the only institution of the kind in the State that has had but the one president during its existence. This one fact speaks plainly for his power as an organizer and executive. Other positions—some, where the remuneration was great—have been tendered Dr. Mathes, but he has been faithful to the interests of the Bellingham Normal School, for which he has spent all of his time and his best efforts ever since it took its place in the ranks of educational institutions. His breadth of scholarship, keen insight and resourcefulness have been made evident during these years of service. By his business ability and judicious management of funds he has won the approval and confidence of the people, and hy his judgment in the choice of an able faculty he has placed the standard of the school on a high and firm basis. To present in detail the many improvements that our president has helped to put through, and the many difficulties that he has helped the school to overcome, would fill a volume. We simply make note of a few of the material changes. In the spring of 1900 there were eight graduates from the advanced course; this spring there will be over forty. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps; today there is not a more beautiful plot of ground to be found anywhere. Six years ago the training school was conducted in the basement of the main building. There was no annex, no gymnasium, no dormitory, no green-house, no cosy rest rooms and faculty rooms, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger and no auditorium; today all these speak for themselves. During these years several new departments have been added, much equipment purchased, and the faculty has increased from six members to twenty. During all this progress and change Dr. Mathes has been the guiding spirit—the ever-present and active factor. This is what the world in general sees of him, but his influence in another way has been as great, if not greater, because more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, innate refinement and courteous manner cannot help having a deep effect upon all with whom he comes in daily contact. We, who have known him for five fruitful years, and are now about to pass out into the world, feel that we have learned from him lessons that shall never be forgotten—lessons that a less noble character, a less deep nature, could not have taught us. That he may remain indefinitely with the institution that he has done so much to establish, and that his far-reaching influence may be felt here in the future as it has been in the past, are the sincere wishes of the class of '06. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [b] ---------- THE BELUNOHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [c] ---------- FACULTY BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [5] ---------- FACULTY EDWARD T.

The Present Position of the Two Great Political Parties of the United States in Relation to Contemporary Industrial Evolution. In the United States the constitutional problem has been superceded by the industrial problem. By constitutional problem is meant all questions which arose concerning the interpretation of the Constitution, the question of state sovereignty versus national sovereignty, that of adjustment of power between state, questions concerning the political rights of individuals, etc. These were the great questions from the formation of the Constitution to the close of the Reconstruction Period. During this time we find evidences of the industrial problem in national and state legislation, but this kind of legislation was of secondary importance. People accepted the industrial system and conditions as they were. So far as there was any political consciousness it was usually of the Iaissez faire type, to allow industry to take its own course. In making this statement the writer is not unmindful of the high protective tariff from 1816 to 1832, and that many of the constitutional questions found their motives in industrial interests. These were the evidences of the inception of a new political principle which was designed to supersede the Iaissez faire attitude of political parties toward industry. Until the spirit of sectionalization subordinated all other interests there was a growing tendency to promote prosperity within the lines of the existing industrial system. From the beginning of the Civil War until the present moment this principle has been adopted and strengthened by the government with one administration as a possible exception. During the last decade another political attitude has been introduced which may be stated as follows: That although the government as a rule may not interfere with the economic conditions of the country, there are exceptions which must be recognized and dealth with whenever industry becomes destructive of ethical ends. The Civil War settled the great question of sectionalism versus nationalization. The ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger old Puritan and Cavalier elements were destroyed and absorbed—destroyed by the losses of the war, absorbed by the new civilization of the West. The planters of the South lost their plantation life, and large numbers from New England joined the increasing Western exodus. The South began life over again on a new basis, the North turned its attention to the industrial conquest of a virgin country, rich in material resources. The field was now clear for developing the West. Concomitantly with this renewed Western movement, and closely associated with it, was the beginning of our modern industrial system in the United States. In order to successfully subdue the West, railroads must be built. With the assistance of the National Government two great corporations were able to complete the Pacific Railroad (1869). The road opened up a great central region for settlement. The same enterprising spirit which opened up the West undertook the task of developing great industrial plants. Since 1870, until within the last ten years, no function of the State in relation to industry has been recognized by the party of the administration except that of fostering the growth of industry and clearing the way for unlimited competition, international as well as domestic. The industrial interest has become the dominant factor in our civilization since the Civil War. So strong and intensified has this interest become that the great man may appear, if he appears at all, as a captain of industry. Just how far the development of our present industrial system is the result of political activities based upon accepted party principles is a difficult question. It is safe to say that our present time would be known as a time of intense industrial activity, regardless of industrial patronage by the Government. On the other hand, without Government assistance, the huge industrial corporations and trusts would have been materially delayed in their development. Since i860 the Republican party has been the strong party of the administration, with the one exception of the Cleveland administrations, just as the Democratic party was the administration party from Jackson's administration to i860, with the exceptions of the terms from 1840 to 1844 a n d from l%4 to 1852. Since Grant's administration until 1896 the Democratic party has been the strong party of the opposition. But the elections of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messengei 1896 and 1900, and especially that of 1904, bear witness that the Democratic party has suffered disintegration. In viewing the history of these two parties since the Civil War, two questions are presented. First, why has the Republican party rather than the Democratic party been the party of the administration? Second, why has the Democratic party ceased to be the strong party of the opposition ? In comparing the chief tenets of both parties a few general distinctions may be noted. The Democratic party has usually pursued a restrictive policy in relation to commercial and manufacturing group interests, while on the other hand it has stood zealously for the greatest possible political rights of the citizen. The Republican party, while not restricting the political rights and freedom of citizens, has made material well-being of this or that large industrial group the object of its first interest. The Democratic party has taken the merely negative position of advocating just balance and indiscrimination among all industrial group interests. It has not favored measures which would help any or all of these interests. In its zeal for the individual, and in the spirit of giving all sections of the country a square deal, its principles supported measures detrimental to the large industrial interests. The assumption of the Democratic party has been that the industrial interests of our country stand in opposition to the people, while the Republican party has identified the interests -of the people with those of industry. If it is true that industrial interest dominates over all social interests, then we cannot get away from this interest, and it is futile for any party to attempt to rule apart from it. The Republican party, organized to preserve the Union, has still continued to re-enforce these principles, which make for national centralization. In recognizing the controlling forces of society, it has come to place a loose construction upon certain portions of the Constitution, the letter of which seems to be in opposition to the best interests of society. A new meaning has come to be attached to the social order of the present. In so far as we have a new order, just so far the Constitution has become inadequate as a political guide. To a certain extent this fact is recognized by both parties, but the Republican party seems to lead in responding isympa- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 thetically to the existing social order. Some of these responses are embodied in the maintenance of high protective tariff, a strong and efficient navy, in an established standard unit of exchange used by all great nations, in a consciousness of the part to be taken by the United States in the role of nations, and finally in active support given to imperialism beyond, which had long been in operation in developing the West. All these measures have been and are powerful factors in shaping our industrial regime. The industrial group has appropriated the patronage of the Government through the agency of the Republican party. By patronage is meant a full recognition of the services of industry. While the Republican party recognizes the services of industry, it has not lost sight of its duties. In these later days this party has entered upon a vigorous policy of restriction, such restriction, however, that the ends of industry may be realized. Its restrictions are positive rather than negative. As, for example, it has sought to check the power of trusts to the end of keeping open the doors of competition. Such interference is anti-Socialistic, and is entirely in harmony with the principles of English political economy, upon which our industrial system is based. We are living in an era which presents its own peculiar problems, and if these problems are to be solved at all, they must be subjected to the principles and forces of this era. Because the Democratic party has failed to gain this insight, because its members have only partially realized that we have passed out of a period distinguished by its constitutional questions into another dominated by industrial problems, it has failed to be reinstated into power. This party suffered disintegration because it has ceased to have the necessary positive and constructive principles of an opponent. We are in a great industrial period; the state, the church and the school are profoundly altered by its spirit. The question is not how shall we annihilate it, let it alone, or revive the good old days, but how shall we give this interest the fullest expression, how shall we work in and through it to the end of complete living? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page [10] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of EDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF NELLIE C.

About the first thing a person notices when visiting a school is the spirit shown in affairs not directly connected with school studies, as well as in the work. There are two classes of students, the "book worm," never taking interest in anything but books and getting good grades. As a general rule this person is not a favorite with his schoolmates. When he does talk it is about "shop," and people know just what he is going to say before he says a word. When some project is proposed which does not bear directly upon his work he hasn't time or energy. What has the future in store for this kind of a student? He knows his profession, probably, but lacks enthusiasm. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 and vitality, which would make his work a rousing success. Most of his time has been spent in study, and when he begins to apply it he finds that if he cannot enter into the right atmosphere or use tact when dealing with people around him, he is stranded. We find that they are the ones who have not learned how to adapt themselves to social environment. Look at the person who is alive to everything around him. He is well up in his work, for when he studies he puts forth the same enthusiasm and vim which he uses in other relations. When he is called upon to pass judgment on propositions he is broad-minded and level-headed, looking at it from all sides. This is the typical American who rises to prominence, trusted and admired by all. We point with pride to our President, Theodore Roosevelt, who, a leader among men, did not gain his knowledge from books, although he is a college-bred man, but from his experiences with man. This spirit is so predominant that it must have vent in some direction. We find it in contests of different kinds, oratorical, debating, dramatic, musical, in class affairs, etc. This is where the true and false spirit is surely-brought to light, and clash if not backed by broad, kindly personalities. Without struggle there would be no progress, so in acquiring knowledge it must enter. The survival of the fittest is not more evident any place than in school. The struggle should be psychical, not physical (except in athletic meets). That class that can outdo the others in earnest, kindly enthusiasm, as well as in scholarship, is the one which leaves its strongest mark on the Alma Mater. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger CLASS OFFICERS.

Although it boasts of but twenty-six members, yet these have made the class renowned because of their abilities shown in their regular school work and society work, as well as in athletic sports. Yet they are withal probably the most modest class in the institution. They also know how to enjoy life, and have had many good times. A marked instance of this was ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger seen in their "Colonial Party," where the dress was one of colonial days. Colonial refreshments were served—cider and doughnuts. The event was declared by all as one long to be remembered by those who participated. Another distinction marks this class. They have that which not even the seniors can boast of, "just one boy." THE FIRST YEARS. Class Yells. Who are, who are, who are we? We are First Years, Don't you see? Are we loyal? Well, I guess. First Years, First Years, Yes! Yes! Yes! Riffaty! Raffaty! Riff! Raff! Chiffaty! Chiffaty! Chiff! Chaff! Riff! Raff! Chiff! Chaff! First Years. Officers. Artie Thrall, President. Bessie Stanton, Vice-President. Jennie Call, Secretary. Zella Foerschler, Treasurer. Elmo Hurley, Yell Master. Colors—Blue and gray. The First Years have proven themselves a. class of ability, having done excellent work during the year, and will, in all probability, be ready to organize into a strong class of Second Years. Their organization has been characterized by the class spirit and enthusiasm which has been shown at various times. One notably, in which all classes took active part in class yells, was in the Y. W. C. A. reception: in honor of the National Secretary, Miss Margaret Kyle. Although they have not been prominent in public entertainment, which could not be expected of "Freshies," they have had their little social functions among themselves as a class. Give them time and they will learn. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [k] ---------- Names In order from left to right: SENIOR BASKET BALL TEAM Beatrice Benson, Lena Smith, Ethel Jones, Anah Gooch, Clara Wariner, Mildred Wilson ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 19 ---------- The Normal Messenger 19 ATHLETICS. Our record in athletics for the year 1905-6 shows, in part, how busy our athletes have been. Early in the year a number of our young men, with the earnest efforts of Mr. Lull, worked with "might and main" to get a football team, but all their efforts were of no avail, for, unless every boy turned out to practice it would be impossible to get two full teams. We have many "students" among our young men who prefer mental development to physical development, when the physical development means hard, earnest practice on the football field. However, if they couldn't play football they could play basket ball because it takes less men for practice, and the victories gained the previous year were a great stimulus, so basket ball it was. During the season the "crack" team from the Normal defeated the "crack" team from the High School four different times. The work of the team showed that the practice had been faithful, their team work being excellent. The girls were not idle all this time, as the usual Kline cup contest was held. The games were played on alternating Friday nights, beginning December 16. Every class was well represented by an able-bodied team that did creditable work. The returns for the final game, which was played April 20, were given to the San Francisco relief fund. As soon as the weather permitted the boys were again busy, this time their attention being given to baseball. The two games played so far were with the Bellingham Bay Business College and the South Side High School, both resulting in victories for the Normal. Tennis. We are at last to have a tennis court. For a long time we have been dreaming; at last -we have awakened, and our tennis court is a thing of the present rather than a thing of the future. It is to be of cinders, well packed and rolled, which promises that it will be one that we can use "in any kind of weather." We would rather have changed the posi- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger tion of the court, but from the manner of the board, who so kindly gave us $50 to help us along, we concluded that they did not care to have it moved. We preferred to have a court even in its present inconvenient position to no court at all. We decided that it would be better to make this one permanent. I am sure we all appreciate the generous gift of the board, and we sincerely hope that the enthusiasm manifested by the Athletic Association of this year will not be allowed to wane in the following years. SENIOR CLASS SONG. You see us here in bright array, In all glory we stand so fair; We have passed the door, and you cannot see us more, For soon is commencement day. The time has now come when with you we must part, And among new friends must go. Whatever we do we will think of you, Still in the Normal School. Chorus. We are grave and reverend Seniors, And a mighty class are we; We now are going to leave you That Seniors you may be. O do not be discouraged When trouble comes your way; Just think of '06 Seniors, And you will win the day. We've labored long in Normal School That good teachers we all might be; We have all been in sight, for we cast a bright light O'er all under classmen here. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 21 ---------- The Normal Messenger 21 The path now is clear which you must trod, That in our places you may stand. Then do what you must and place your trust In the good old Normal School. Chorus. We've climbed the path of learning's lore, And the midnight oil we've burned; We know how to educate the heathen Chinee, And for Browning we've ever yearned. The swamps and ponds have been deeply bored By our probings and eloquent words, But we'll never forget that we owe a debt To those who with aid have turned. Chorus. We wish to thank our instructors esteemed For their patience, time, and care; You have helped us more than we can tell, By your kindness good and rare. And if we've ever ungrateful seemed We ask your pardon now, In our last address to the B. N. S.— May good fortune thee endow. Chorus. J. E. SOCIETIES. At the beginning of the school year in 1904 all the then existing societies in the institution were disbanded by order of the faculty. The school was then divided into two sections, A and B. These sections met and organized, taking the names, Sirius and Cle-onian Literary Societies. At the beginning of th'e present school year it was decided that the large membership of each seemed to choke the growth of the two societies, and members were allowed to withdraw from each to form new societies. The parent societies went bravely on, and the new societies are thriving. Thus grew up the Thespian, the Alkisiah and the Boys' Debating Club. Clionean Society. The Clionean Society received its name from Clio, the Muse of glorious deed. Our ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 22 ---------- 22 The Normal Messenger glorious deeds, however, have been few this year. But we have done our best, and the last semester we have been able to give many interesting and instructing programs. A very commendable feature of the programs has been the declamations, all of high order, and delivered in a manner to reflect credit upon any society. The last program deserves special mention, as it was entirely musical, and proved that there still remains much talent and power in the Clionean Society. Sirius. It is with pride that we speak of the Sirius Literary Society of the Normal. The secretary's book shows a membership of forty-nine, all of whom have shown an unusual willingness to co-operate with the officers of the society to make its work profitable as well as entertaining. The character of the work done has been of such a nature that each member has had an opportunity to work along the line most pleasing to him, or in which he wished to gain proficiency. Special mention might be made of the Thanksgiving and of the Riley programs. Thespian Dramatic Society. Every Friday afternoon about half past two a group of boys may be heard asking of one another and of passers-by in the halls, "Does Thespian meet this week?" If they learn that it does they all troop to the auditorium, for, they say, "It is the best society in the school," adding, loyally, "except the Boys' Debating Club." The work at present is a study of the "Rivals," one act being given at each meeting. Every member of the society has taken part in the play, and each act has been received with great enthusiasm by members and visitors alike. The membership is limited to thirty in order that each member may have an opportunity to do the work that she likes, for all the members are enthusiastic workers. Miss Hays has been our helper and critic throughout the year, and we owe her many thanks for her good advice, her kindness and her helpfulness. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 23 ---------- The Normal Messenger 23 Alkisiah. During the first quarter of this year there was founded the Alkisiah Club. In this club there was established the understanding that the club stood for honest work. There is no place in the club for anyone who is not a good worker and thinker. The limited membership and the character of the subject matter makes this fact self-evident. Such questions of the day as "juvenile Courts," "Monopolies," 'Elbert Hubbard," "W. C. T. U. Reforms" and "Woman's Suffrage" have been interestingly and earnestly discussed. The subjects and assignments for each quarter are printed on folders for the members of the club. The folders for the first quarter of 1906-7 are nearly ready now, and the club will be prepared for strong work at the beginning of the year. Miss Baker is a member of the club, and has always some suggestions for improving the work or commendation and encouragement. At the last meeting she gave a very interesting and enthusiastic talk on "Reform Conventions." The name "Alkisiah" explains our attitude. We are looking to "the near future." Young Men's Debating Club. The Young Men's Debating Club adjourned "sine die" Friday afternoon, May 18, for this school year. It is the purpose of the club to enter into some of the intercollegiate oratorical contests and debates next year if most of the boys who now expect to return carry out their intentions. The young men have had considerable experience this year in all lines of oral expression, and they feel that with some special training they might win laurels for the "white and blue" in this direction. On this account it is said that the entrance requirements into this society will be, in the future, stringent both as to ability and personal characteristics. Y. W. C. A. The Young Woman's Christian Association has had a very prosperous and successful year, and the prospects are bright for the coming year. Ten delegates will be sent to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 24 ---------- 24 The Normal Messenger the convention at Gearhart, Oregon, a beautiful summer resort, and they are expected to come back in the fall full of enthusiasm and inspiration. The social as well as the more serious side of life has been well upheld by the young ladies of the association. Besides the annual reception at the first of the year, there have been a number of smaller events. In May there was the May Day lawn party, which was well attended by students and friends of the institution, who were much pleased with the fan drill and the Japanese wedding. The association had charge of the reception given in the newly completed Y. M. C. A. building on ladies' day, May i9.th. This was one of the pleasantest events of the season. The Y. W. C. A. hopes for a large membership next year. All new students are invited to attend its meetings and to become members. VACATION LESSONS. "Ope your doors and take me in, Spirit of the wood, Wash me clean of dust and din, Clothe me in your mood." In her letters Celia Thaxter recalls, kneeling as a child before the first green shoots of early spring, in a spirit of adoration. Her "Little Sandpiper and I" is blown through and through with the salt sea wind. Maurice Thompson, camping in the Southern Woods, writes of shooting the rapids of a mountain stream, the fish hawks laughing derisively above him, and in the dim vistas of the forest glimpsing the "Threshold of the Gods." "Under the Willows" Lowell interprets for us the oriole's "Heave, Ho! Heave ho!" and the bobolink's "June, Dear June! Now God Be Praised for June!" These are not library books. They did not grow in the study, and he only can understand them who has learned to sense the world with the poets. Not until you see the varying tints of the hillside, the perfect curve of the sea gull's flight, the common completeness of the ancient fir and the wild geranium that carpets the ground at its feet, hear the songs of the sparrows on the way to school, hear the key- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 25 ---------- The Normal Messenger 25 note in the wail of the mill saws and the falsetto in the engine shriek, the varying undertones in the different water-folk, smell the outdoors in sprinkling clean clothes, the odor of swelling buds in spring, the fragrance of dusk and dawn, have you learned to "mix your blood with sunshine." Once on a snowy morning the netted tracery of the leafless trees against a smoke-tinted sky was so beautiful that out of the fullness of my heart I drew a girl's attention to it. It was new to her. In all her walks to school she had never seen the pictures about her. For the majority of us the best part of the drawing and painting lessons is the new visions they give us; the blues in the hills, the purples in the shadows, the curves of wave and beach, the perspective of road and forest vista, the curved pillars and grained ceilings of the "first temples," the velvet black of the fir foliage and pink flush in the young vine maple. Read Celia Thaxton's description of a California poppy, and then see if you have the artist's eye for the dandelion bloom, or seed, for maple blooms, or the hemlock in May, or for any of the wonders near home. The vast majority are deaf as somnambulists to the music about us. They are blankly incredulous when you distinguish in hearing the song, the warning cry, or the friendly call of a bird. They smile when you speak of the keynote of a waterfall. They are intellectually deaf. To them the harmony of the spheres is a purely figurative expression. Just as there are living organisms beyond the sight of the unaided vision, so there are tones beyond the hearing of the untrained ear. Since the microscope reveals communities in a drop of water, it is no wilder to dream that sometime a mechanism will make audible to us the full score of nature's harmonies in brooks and growing things which now we only hear in part. Your vacation study is to use these powers of sense afresh upon the old world about you; to make friends with all lively things, and think. Then if you look and listen, love and think, one day you will awaken to a new -world, you will stand by your "burning bush," ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 26 ---------- 26 The Normal Messenger the wonder of the Infinite Life, and you will know that "God is not dumb that He should speak no more. :|e * * * * There towers the mountain of the voice Which whoso seeks shall find." J. A. BAKER. CHORAL CLUB NOTES. With the coming of spring, music naturally assumes its right and delightful place. So with the Normal Choral Club. Deep interest in its progress has been evinced by its members. Classical music of the very best has been practiced, and the club is now able to render very creditably such selections as "The May Song," known as the "Bridal Chorus" of Lohengrin; "The Pilgrim's Chorus," taken from Tannhauser; ''The Phantom Chorus," from La Somnambula, and many others. The club will furnish the music for commencement and Baccaulaureate, seated in the gallery of the auditorium. One of the features of the club's program was the trip to Lynden, made in wagonettes and tallyho. They left the Normal building at 2:30 Thursday afternoon, May 8, and after a jolly three hours' drive arrived at Lynden somewhat tired and very hungry. Their hunger appeased, they made for the Opera House and rendered a very delightful program. Two splendid readings were given by Miss Crocker and Mr. Goodell. Three vocal solos were rendered by Misses Vivian Fraser, Genevieve Stone and Frankie Sullivan in their own inimitable style. One piano solo was given by the pianist, Miss Nellie Thompson, which was exceptionally fine and was well received. The program was voted a grand success, its brevity being its only drawback. The home trip was made with singing and much good feeling. A similar trip to Friday Harbor is being planned for May 19. This-trip will be made by boat, and a royally good time is anticipated by every one. S.

To the stranger who hopes to enter into our jolly life we offer the advice of "experi- 9t ence. DON'T ENTER the dormitory if you're not in the mood for a joke. DON'T DESPAIR because you have "nothing to wear" to the Senior reception. Your neighbor's wardrobe may supply your want. DON'T RING the door bell after 11:30 if you're locked out; the neighbors may take you in. DON'T BE DISTURBED upon coming home from a midnight spread if you find your room "To Let." Take your candle and mount the attic stairs. The trunk room is a fine place to store furniture. DON'T THINK your bed is an acrobat, and that it may walk off in the night because you find it on its back with a shoe on each leg. DON'T FEEL OBLIGED to sleep with a lt;lummy because you find it in your bed. DON'T FAINT when you find a dead mouse in your trunk. Many a mouse has led a strenuous life. DON'T GO TO BED hungry. Your key may unlock the pantry door. DON'T EAT but one piece of cake at lunch. DON'T GIVE but three orders for butter. The supply may be low. DON'T GET EXCITED. You'll be warned in time to chuck a few things under the couch before Dr. Mathes makes his annual visit. DON'T STUDY too hard. CLASS PROPHESY. To the Editor of The Messenger: Deeming that these notes from an old dairy might prove of interest to the class about to graduate from the Bellingham State Normal School, because they show what noted characters that institution has produced in the past, I submit the following: ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 28 ---------- 28 The Normal Messenger June 6, 1926—Just leaving planet moon on aerial motor "Etherinde." Bound for earth. June 8.—Over small town in State of Iowa. Looked out of the window and saw Belle Holt eatin' (Eaton) in a beautiful garden. June 9—Over Davenport, Washington. Chanced to look out of a window and saw Katherine McNeff in the center of a circle of handsome young farmers, at whom each in turn she was pointing a finger. Presently the words, "Eny, meny miney mo," floated to me, and I knew that she was choosing a husband. In the evening landed in Bellingham. As I heard the old familiar name, old memories stirred within me, and I was seized with a strong desire to learn the fate of all my former classmates. June 10—Went to city library, which I found to be in charge of Edna Waples and Lena Dodd. Consulted "Who Is Who in America." Looked first among the names of pedagogues to see how many of our class had remained loyal to an early ideal. Found that Elena Barker and Lillian Fogg have become noted as primary teachers. Both are teaching in that portion of Bellingham formerly known as the suburb Tacoma. Ellen Graham has been elected to the position of supervisor of the training department in B. S. N. S., where she spoils many good rods on unruly children. An old classmate, Minnie Osberg, is head of the English department in the same institution. She quotes Browning by the hour, greatly to the edification of the young people under her charge. Lena Smith is engaged in teaching her husband's kinsmen in New Sweden. Mrs. Myers now occupies the honorable position of judge of the supreme court of the United States. Floy Sullivan is travelling over all Europe and America demonstrating "Steeline," a new breakfast food manufactured at Battle Creek, Michigan, from pure steel filings. Beatrice Benson and Elva Krause were engaged in compiling a new International Speller (revised spelling), but both became discouraged before the work was completed. Copies of the unfinished work, I learned, may as yet be obtained at any second hand book store, though Helen Miller, the seer of the Northland, prophesies they will be bought at high prices as curios in a few years. Miss Benson accepted a position as inspector in the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 29 ---------- The Normal Messenger 29- great "Northwestern Hand Laundry," and Miss Krause settled down in the eastern part of the State of Washington, where she makes a specialty of corn fritters. Luella Whitaker has won great literary fame. Her works are all ponderous and learned. Her last, "The Relation of the Early Normal Schools to the Modern Universities," comprises six volumes. The author will gladly send the above to anyone on receipt of name and a two-cent stamp for postage. Georgie Ellis has been admitted to the bar in the State of Washington. Christine Thiel has become a physician of no mean worth. She is often called across the continent to administer an anesthetic, or perform some slight surgical operation. May Strand, whose artistic ability in the old days caused all to marvel, is now numbered among the world's artists. She has visited Rome, Florence, Paris and Everson— world art centers—but failing to find there any inspiration, has returned to her old environment, the B. S. N. S., where she is now pursuing her work. Rosalie Rourke has for years been timekeeper and switchmaster in the Chicago switch yards. Pearl Smith is touring China and India as a famous lecturer on "Women's Rights." Nellie Thompson is now editor of the Northwestern Record. Subtle words of wisdom flow from her pen. Through her editorials she wields much influence in political and intellectual circles. In her home at the foot of Mount Baker, while compiling "Fleming's Unabridged Dictionary," the great lexicographer, none other than Lottie Fleming, witnessed an eruption of Mount Baker. Though her house tilted to an angle of forty-five degrees, Lottie quickly adjusted herself to this new position and continued her coinage of words. The book is considered as the standard of English language all over the world. Lillie Smith is now, and has for years, been a medical missionary in South Africa. After gaining all this information I thought 'twas time to go home. June II—Picked up the Ladies' Home Journal this morning. Was amazed to find among the list of regular contributors Bertha Manerman, author of "Pretty Girl Papers;" Ethel Jones, author of "Heart-to-Heart Talks With Girls;" Genevieve Stone, author of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 30 ---------- 30 The Normal Messenger "Half-Hour Lessons in Music;" Tressie Flesher, author of "Hints on Cooking," and Selma Glineburg, sole author of the "Puzzle Page." June 12—Carrie Lewis called. She tells me that she manages to protect her household from "dust and its dangers" by the use of the "Magnetic Clearter," her own invention, a machine which, when placed in a room, attracts the dust from carpet, pictures, etc., without any scattering of dust particles. June 13—Elizabeth Williams called. She was very enthusiastic over "Cartilege Stretchers," a patent method used for making short people grow tall. Later I learned that she was the Western agent for the Cartilege Company, and Anna Wahlstrand was their Eastern agent. June 14—Picked up the Northwestern Record this morning. Almost the first words I saw were these: "International basket ball game won by America. Excellent plays made by Anah Gooch and Clara Warriner. Leonie Nohl a plucky umpire." My attention was next held by the following: "Tomorrow night, Jessie Scott Cowing in 'Two Hearts That Beat as One.' " June 15—Went to the play. In truth 'twas the Jessie of "Ingomar" fame who again appeared before the footlights. She was ably supported by a caste among which there was one voice that sounded strangely familiar. The voice was all by which I was able to recognize Frank Sullivan. Many of our classmates were present. Mildred Wilson had left her chickens, pigs and her husband at home, and with her seven children had walked a distance of twenty miles to be present this evening. Judith Hawes, too, with her worthy husband, had ridden in an open wagon at night from their home, formerly known as Lynden, to be able to meet and greet again her classmates. (She never minded long drives, anyway). While we were chatting after the play a bright young girl, flushed and excited, came forward and announced herself as Nettie Look. She had grown so I did not recognize her. She was very happy because she had just received word from Dr. Mathes that her diploma would be forwarded to her at once, as she was now old enough to be allowed to teach. June 16—Dreamed of Mary O'Laughlin ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 31 ---------- The Normal Messenger 31 last night, and the vision will not fade. I saw her as in reality I did see her but ten days ago, still wandering about among the craters and crevasses on the moon in search of the Perfect Man, the species, she tells me, being wholly non-existant on earth. ETHEL PEEK. May 4—We had a holiday and an excursion to Glacier. It was a beautiful trip, up among the foothills of Mount Baker, just seven miles from Maple Falls, and on the banks of the Nooksack River. Everyone enjoyed the day to the utmost, and we are all hoping the faculty will take us for another picnic in the near future. April 6—School closed for cold weather. Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Bright Student—It was the stupidist class I ever saw in my life. There wasn't a single member in it who could define a verb. May 14—Guessing game in Browning class. Mr. Wilson thinks a few more "Stones" are needed to grind the Normal students. Mr. Bloyd and Miss Krausse have accepted positions as teachers in Colfax for the ensuing year. Our best wishes go with the happy (?) pair. Job—What you are glad to get when looking for a situation.—Ex. School excused two hours early. Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Loves laughs at locksmiths, especially when the locks are on the dormitory door. Mr. Stone, reading the placard, "Hear Woolley tonight," "O, I see Dr. Bowman is to lecture this evening." Miss L to Mr. S h—Who is the most popular young man in school? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 32 ---------- 32 The Normal Messenger Mr. S h, stammering and blushing— Why—er—I really—I don't think you ought to ask me that question. Silently, one by one, in the infinite notebooks of teachers, blossom the lovely zeros, forget-me-nots of the Seniors.—Ex. Mr. R. excuses class and goes to Tacoma. Life is real, life is earnest, And perhaps would be sublime, If it did not keep us busy Cramming Browning all the time. WOULDN'T IT BE AWFUL? If certain Seniors did not get called down in the library at least twice a week? If Mr. Lemmach, janitor, would permit the faculty to govern the school for awhile? If we didn't cover ten poems a week in Browning? If Mr. W didn't remind us daily that "Truth is within ourselves?" If we ever found anything on our nature study expeditions? Synonyms. Faculty—Peace preservers. Janitor—General manager. Societies—Physical tortures. Seniors—Noblest work of the faculty. Third years—Pushers. Second years—Dead heads. First years—Infants. Dr. Mathes—"Bring pencils and paper to class for an oral quiz on Thursday." Speaker in Assembly—The term "man" is generic and embraces woman. Saturday Mr. R. goes to Tacoma. Elva had a fountain pen, Its ink was black as jet, And every time she used the thing It leaked a quart, you bet. Heard at rehearsal—Ingomar must take the barbarians apart one at a time. The girls who played "Ingomar" in Ever-son report a full house. All Gaul is divided into three parts—Cheek, brass and nerve.—Ex. A. G.—Where's Mr. Romine? M. W— O, He's out of sight. Did you get your picture taken on the campus ? June 7—School out—Mr. R. off for Tacoma. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [n] ---------- iliS I 4 ^nkrjw. "iNGOMAR," WHICH WAS GIVEN WITH GREAT SUCCESS BY THE SENIOR CLASS IN THE NORMAL AUDITORIUM, APRIL 27, 1906 ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 33 ---------- The Normal Messenger 33 THE WILL OF THE 'o6 CLASS. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a class to. shuffle off the mortal coil of its Alma Mater, it is only seemly in justice to that Alma Mater to make due disposal of all possessions both real and fancied belonging to the deceased. Therefore be it remembered that we, the Senior Class of the Bellingham State Normal School in the State of Washington on the 4th of June in the year of our Lord Nineeteen Hundred and Six, do make our last will and testament in manner following: That is to say, We order and direct that all our just debts be paid with all convenient speed. We give and bequeath to Dr. Mathes, the sympathizer and peacemaker, all our troubles, to be held in trust by him and his heirs forever on condition that the aforesaid continues to be worthy of so noble a trust. Unto Mr. Eply, the just, we give and decree a stork farm together with the proper funds for maintainence of the same. To Mr. Lull, the afflicted one, robbed of his sleep and natural rest^ and compelled to pace the hard, cold floor "in the cold, gray dawn of the morning after," we give and bequeath a bottle of the world renounced Child Luller, compounded expecially for little Lulls, sterilized and guaranteed by Dr. B. S. N. S. Senior, M. D., D. D. S., P. H. D., etc. Be it further stated that unto the renouned Dr. of all scalp diseases and originator of the celebrated capillary system of hair renovation and repairing, we do give a round trip pass for two to Muckilteo, together with a season ticket, also for two, to the Grand. In our goodness of heart, forseeing with our superior wisdom, future conditions, we give unto Mr. Stone, beloved by all Latin and German students, a pair of stilts to be used when his legs wear out. Also, to show our affection, we do order that an automatic satirist be stationed at the renouned pedagogue's door for the express purpose of calling down loiterers in the hall. To Mr. Wilson we will our Chinest essays and our superfluous individuality. Also a pair of stilts. Unto Mr. Romine in remembrance of the many weary hours he has whiled away with his witticisms, we give with all due respect, a ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 34 ---------- 34 The Normal Messenger beautiful specimen of the latest improved perambulator together with a vacuum cap which we hope he will use This cap is guaranteed to sprout hair on the toughest of scalps. No pain or money refunded. Unto Mr. Forest, the teller of tales, we lovingly tender an elegantly bound volume of Baron Munchausen. The cover done in lately improved fish scales. Be it recorded that unto the little Miller's daughter, the model for teachers and students, we bequeath a bench to take the place of the chair which she now occupies in the B. S. N. S. faculty. Unto Mabel, our singer of songs, we hesitatingly give in all good faith a broad, gold band to keep the solitaire from becoming lonesome. To Miss Hogle, who ever was our friend, we give a beautiful and instructive volume entitled, "How to Attract the Opposite Sex." This is one of our most precious possessions as we really need it ourselves. Miss Tallulah possesses all things of good repute, but one thing she lacks. This we give her, as we are about to die—a copy of basket ball rules to be used when needed. To Mrs. Smith our gift we bring—steady company. To the other Mabel, we give and bequeath for safe keeping our reputation in the library. Also a pair of goggles warranted not to break under fifty pounds pressure. Unto her friend of the office we give 50,- 000,000 copies of a pamphlet called "Rules of Conduct in the Office, Compiled Especially for Simple Freshmen." These to be distributed to all who wish to keep their self-respect. For this bequest we expect our names to be handed down to posterity as the emancipators of the B. S. N. S. Freshmen. To Miss Baker we give the right to vote, and a carefully trained parrot, warranted not to swear in the presence of ladies. To Miss Montgomery we give by law a fund for the maintenance of an orphans' home. We do affirm that unto Miss Sperry, lover of all literature of density and darkness, we give and bequeath a volume of poems written by Browning's successor. The title and contents of this volume still remain a mystery to the world, but we give it to Miss Sperry, confident that she will be able to solve the mystery. To Miss Horner we bequeath all our na- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 35 ---------- The Noraml Messenger 35 ture study experiments, with drawings of the same. For Miss Gray we have gone to much trouble and expense to obtain a certain catalogue before our demise. This catalogue is called "Loftus Brothers' System of Diamonds on Credit." To Mr. Parsons we give our everlasting good will forever. Lase, but not least, unto Mr. Lemmach we bequeath with joyous hearts an unventilated cell in Paradise. EXCHANGES. We have received many new exchanges this month. The Gitche Gumme is a very nicely arranged paper. "Generally speaking, women are " "Yes, they are." "Are what?" "Generally speaking."—Exchange. The Tocsin is one of the best high school papers we receive. We welcome the Prospect in our exchange list. The Prospect is the paper of the State Normal at Plymouth, N. H. It gives us a breath of New England. Judging from nearly every paper we receive, "advertising pays," as we saw it expressed in the Mirror for April. The Maroon is especially to be commended for its exchange column. It's always there. Here are the sentiments of two schools: "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'A test again.' "—Ex. "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'I've flunked again.' " We couldn't get along without the Evergreen. The Kilikilik is a well ordered paper. It seems to have reached the "happy medium" of what a school paper ought to be. Wa-Wa, where is your exchange column? Fully as important as its title is a paper's post office address. It isn't interesting nor instructive to search through the ads. for this information. One day Johnny was naughty in school.

Looking at him with stern reproof she said: "You just wait till I look in my notebook and I'll find out what to do with you."—Ex. The Mankatonian is a very welcome paper. We are interested in your poet. The Enterprise is short and sweet. The Spinster is the only paper of its kind that comes to us, therefore we prize it the more. ALUMNI NOTES. Unlike other schools of its standing, the Bellingham Normal has at present no organized Alumni Association. This is unfortunate, as it makes it extremely difficult to get information concerning former graduates. What is there to prevent an organization of this sort ? Very few of the graduates go from the State of Washington to teach, and then this Normal claims the greater share of her students from this side of the mountains. In the future could not such an association be organized? Mr. Lynus A. Kibbe, '05, is still partaking of the waters of the Pyrian Spring at McMinn-ville College, MeMinnville, Oregon. Mr. Thomas Korstad, '01, was married during the Christmas holidays to Miss Julia Torgeson from the Eastern part of the State. Mrs. Lily Carter-Mayer, '03, is the mother of a fine daughter. Misses Charlotte Stewart and May Pill-man of last year's graduates are both teaching in Spokane. Misses Marie Wheeler, '05, and Annie Drummond, '05, are teaching in the city schools of Tacoma. Both have met with great success in their work. Miss Albra Paddock of the class of '05, is attending the University at Berkeley, California. Miss Ida Iverson, '03, is living at present with her sister, Mrs. Leque, at Stanwood, During the first part of the winter she studied art in California. Her sister, Anna Iverson, 01, is teaching in California. Harry Raymond, one of the two young men in the '05 class, is teaching the young idea how to shoot in Stanwood. He is very much liked there. Lucius A. Jones, '03, is principal of the school at Nooksack, Wash. He was the pro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Plate [o] ---------- THREE VIEWS OF THE AUDITORIUM ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 May - Page 37 ---------- The Normal Messenger 37 moter of a very successful lecture course in that community last winter. Marguerite Fleming, sister of Lottie Fleming, one of this year's graduates, is teaching at Georgetown, one of the suburbs of Seattle. It is rumored that Miss Elnore Derth, '03, and Effie Wheeler, '04, have resigned their present positions in the schools of Bellingham in order to accept a school of one. Ethel Birney, 'o5 gt;4, is teaching in Sedro- Woolley. Of the class of '05 not already mentioned, the following are teaching: Gertrude Ald-ridge at Oso; Susie Andrews, Bellingham, Station A; Elsie Anthon, Friday Harbor; Edith Austin, Clear Lake; Lilian Burke, Snohomish; Meda Carlson, Hartford; Stella Carlson, Rock Harbor; Grace Dickey, Edison; Grace Drake, Marysville; Mrs. C.

Suddenly she sprang from her chair and threw her hands wildly into the air. "Eureka!" she cried; "thank heaven I have it at last," and she fainted to the floor. She had actually found the underlying thot in one of Browning's poems. BELLINGHAM, WASH. Special Coarse for Teachers Duriof Sooner Write for particulars «*•%«•• College Building, Holly St., AUG.

Issued the 15th of every month. All copy must be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief on or before the 9th of the month. Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. V. JUNE-JULY, 1906 No. 8 THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR Th Normal School will open for its Eighth Annual Session on Tuesday morning, September eleventh. The first day will be given over to the admission and classification of students, and the formal opening exercises will be held on Wednesday morning, September twelfth. These opening exercises will include a formal address and the usual announcements relating to the organization of the work. In accordance with a resolution passed by the faculty last March the daily program for the coming year has been arranged so that there will be not less than four recitations per week in every subject offered. Under this plan several subjects that have been offered as two-hour per week subjects for one semester will now be completed in one quarter. This will enable several members of the faculty to repeat certain courses each semester, which will be of great advantage to ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger students who are unable to attend during the entire year. This plan will also enable students to concentrate their efforts upon a few studies rather than to carry a good number of subjects for a long time with only a limited number of recitations in each per week. The daily program for the comming year is published in the new catalogue. It provides eight periods of work for the day, one of them taking the place of the usual noon hour. Regular class work will begin at 8:30 o'clock in the morning and close for the day at 3:20 in the afternoon. There will be no laboratory courses continuing until 4 o'clock but the meetings of the critic teachers of the training department will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3:20 P. M. The general assembly of students and faculty will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10 o'clock and at the same hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays the students will meet for chorus practice. The assembly hour on Fridays will be given to the students for their own use. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACADEMIC WORK In past years every student who entered a state normal school in Washington has been been required to sign a pledge of intention to teach in the schools of the state, but last year the law was so changed t h a t any person who does not care to sign the "pledge of intention to teach" may enter the school for regular work by paying a tuition fee of ten dollars for each semester. Under this provision persons who find it more convenient to attend a Normal school than any other institution of higher learning, but who do not contemplate entering the profession of teaching, may avail themselves ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 of these institutions and enroll for purely academic work. In this connection attention is called to the fact that the Normal schools offer superior instruction in many academic subjects, including elementary and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, Ancient and European history, English history, American history, laboratory courses in physiology, neurology, botany, zoology, biology, physics, and chemistry, American and English literature, composition and rhetoric, Latin and German, geology and physical geography, psychology, sociology, m a n u a l training, drawing and classes in elective subjects as there is demand for them. The work offered in these subjects is thorough and has been accepted in many institutions of advanced learning. Young people who desire to take up work along these lines are invited to consider carefully the opportunities offered by the State Normal schools. Students of mature preparation will be granted the privilege of doing elective work under reasonable restrictions. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger DEATH OF MR. EMERSON E. WHITE TRUSTEE OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL On Wednesday morning, July 18th, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Emerson E. White, died of typhoid fever at the St. Joseph's hospital in this city. The death of Mr. White came as a great shock to faculty and students as well as to his many friends throughout the state, although it was generally known that he had not been well for some time. On last October Mr. White was appointed by Governor Albert E. Mead as a trustee of the Normal School. Being an educator of much valuable experience Mr. White was exceptionally well fitted to serve as a trustee of a State Normal School, and in all of his associations with the institution he manifested a keen interest in the welfare of the school and was always ready to give freely of his time and labor to perform the work of administration. Mr. White was taken away in the very prime of life and had a bright future before him in his profession. He came to Washington about fifteen years ago, and soon after accepted a position as teacher in the Whatcom High School. Later he was made principal of the High School, and in 1898 was elected superintendent of the city school system. These promotions are indicative of his ability both as a teacher and as a superintendent. Three years ago he retired from educational work to enter the practice of law and had established a good practice at the time of his death. His law partner, Virgil Peringer speaks of him as follows: "He was a man of those excellent traits that go to makeup a good character. He always tried to inculcate into the minds of young men and women, especially, to live up to the highest standard in the line of integrity and morality. He was naturally gifted with executive ability, a man of commanding presence, very careful and methodical in business affairs, and with all a good citizen." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 AMONG OTHER INSTITUTIONS On the evening of commencement day Principal Mathes left for the east, and on the evening of June 13th delivered the annual alumni address before his Alma Mater, Heidelberg University, at Tiffin, Ohio. While in the east he visited the State Normal Schools at Oxford, Ohio; Cedar Fall, Iowa; Winona, Minn, and Mankato, Minn. At each school a summer session was in progress and Dr. Mathes delivered an evening lecture before the faculty and students of each institution. At Cedar Falls, more than twelve hundred students were in attendance at the summer session and over eleven hundred of them were present at the lecture. By request Dr. Mathes spoke upon the subject, "The Pacific Northwest" and the lecture was illustrated by more than one hundred lantern slides, selected from the collection made by Prof. Epley for our institution. The State Normal School at Cedar Falls is one of the largest in this country and has a very complete equipment. The state of Iowa has recently appropriated more than six hundred thousand dollars for the erection of buildings for her normal school. A recitation hall and a gymnasium building, each costing one hundred thousand dollars, have just been completed and a large science hall is now in process of construction. Other buildings will be erected later and when all are completed Iowa expects to have the most complete Normal School plant in the world. The State Normal School at Winona, Minn., is the oldest institution of its kind west of the Mississippi river and has long been recognized as one of the strongest Normal Schools in the entire country. Dr. Irwin Shepard, now secretary of the N. E. A., was for twenty years its president. While visiting in Winona Dr. Mathes enjoyed a carriage ride through the beautiful avenues of the city ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger and along the banks of the Mississippi river as the guest of Dr. Shepard. The Normal School at Mankato has also been in active work for many years and enjoys a large attendance each year. The Normal School at Oxford, Ohio, is unique in that it is a department of Miami University. It maintains however a separate organization and conducts a complete schedule of classes for professional work but the academic work of all Normal School students is provided for in the regular classes of the University. The plan is apparently working out satisfactorily and is being watched with much interest by many educators. CLASS OF 1906 The members of the class of 1906 have secured positions as teachers for the coming year as follows: Lena Barker, Sumner; Ethel Birney, Bellingham; Lena Dodd, Kalama; Lottie Fleming, Maltby; Tressie Flesher, Bellingham; Lillian Fogg, Dayton; Selma Gline-berg, Granite Falls; Anah Gooch, Friday Harbor; Judith Hawes, near Snohomish; Elva Krausse, Colfax; Carrie Lewis, Plaza; Nettie Look, Aberdeen; Katherine McNeff, Davenport; Helen Miller, Sedro-Woolley; Minta A. Morgan, Bellingham; Leona Nohl, Seattle; Mary O'Loughlin, Dryad; Ethel Peek, Seattle; Pearl Peime, Friday Harbor; Rosalie Rourke, Edison; Floy Sullivan, Colfax; Frankie Sullivan, Supervisor of music, Olym-pia; Christine Thiel, Sumas; Nellie Thompson, Marysville; Anna Wahlstrand, Palouse; Lillian Smith, near Bellingham; May Strand, near Lynden; Edna Waples, near Lynden; Clara Warriner, Nooksack, Wash.; Luella Whitaker, Bellingham; Elizabeth Williams, Ballard. Miss Ethel Jones will remain at home one year before taking up the work of teaching, and Miss Beatrice Benson will ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 enter the State University. The other eight members of the class, not reported here, have not completed arrangements for the coming year, although nearly all of them have been offered positions as teachers. THE DINING HALL During the present vacation the Normal dining hall will receive a thorough renovation and several rooms will be newly papered and varnished. The great popularity of the hall this past year promises to continue the coming year. Practically every room has already been engaged and many who room in private homes have arranged to take their meals at the hall. However, furnished rooms in private homes may still be rented near the school and meals may be secured at the dining hall at the low price of $2.75 per week. The principal of the school will be glad to furnish full information regarding rooms and meals or requests in regard to the dining hall may be sent directly to the matron, Mrs. C. B. Branchard. ADDITIONAL TEACHER IN MANUAL TRAINING Manual training has been offered as a regular study in the Normal school for the past four years. During this time the work has been gradually extended through all courses in the Normal school and through the upper grades in the training department. This growth calls for additional teaching force, and at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees held on commencement day Miss Lulu Dawson, of Emporia, Kansas, was elected as assistant teacher in the department of Drawing and Manual Training. Miss Dawson is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal School and has completed a post- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger graduate course in manual training. During her graduate course she has had full charge of the manual training work in the grammar grades of the Kansas Normal Training school, and comes highly recommended as a teacher of manual training in the grades. THE PIANO DEPARTMENT At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held last May, it was decided to establish a piano department in the Normal School. As the subject is not required in the regular courses of study, a tution fee will be charged for lessons in this department but the prices will be the lowest possible consistent with good instruction. The several pianos in the Normal School will be available for practice and students who desire may enter for work in this department without taking other subjects in the Normal School. The announcement of the selection of a teacher for the department will be made in the August bulletin and at that time an outline of the work to be offered may be given. PRIZE CONTESTS On the evening of June 1st the first of a new series of contests was held in the Normal School auditorium. This contest was in charge of the department of oral expression, and a good degree of interest was manifested. The First National Bank of Bellingham donated two cash prizes; one for excellence in declamation and one for excellence in debate. The prize in declamation was won by Miss Lucy Crocker of Tacoma, and the prize in debate by Mr. Fred Johnson of Skagit City. During the coming year it is anticipated that still greater interest will be shown in the contests as several additional prizes have ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 recently been established. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees held during commencement week the principal was authorized to announce that the Normal school will in the future offer an annual cash prize of forty dollars for the best effort in debate, and a second prize of twenty dollars for the second best effort in debate, A friend of the school also offers a cash prize of twenty-five dollars for excellence in oration or declamation. All of these prizes will be available during the coming school year under regulations prescribed by the faculty, and it is believed that the students will find great pleasure as well as take great interest in these contests. The scholarship offered annually by Whitman collage to some member of the senior class was awarded for the year 1906 to Miss Luella Whitaker. Miss Whitaker has attended the Normal school for four years and has always maintained a high record both in character and scholarship. GENERAL NEWS Among the young men to remain for the summer session were Roger Williams, Andrew Anderson, Roy Goodell, Charles Jones and Raymond Montgomery and Noah Davenport. Miss Frankie Sullivan of the Class of '06 has had charge of the vocal music classes during the present summer session. Miss Sullivan has been elected supervisor of music in the city schools of Olympia for the coming year. The Normal School has recently received a very complete set of valuable aquaria. The equipment came as a gift from the state fish commissioner's office. Three of the large aquaria have been installed in the lecture room adjoining the greenhouse and several others have been placed in the biological lab- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger oratory. All have been provided with running water and several of them are at present stocked with different varieties of fish from local waters. The gift is greatly appreciated by the friends and patrons of the institution. The fountain presented to the institution by the class of 1906 is being installed on the campus as the Messenger goes to press. The location selected for the gift is at right of the walk as one approaches the main building, and it will add greatly to the beauty of the campus. The fountain stands full six feet high and is surrounded by a cement basin seven feet in diameter. The custom of the graduating classes to present a gift to the institution each year as they leave its walls is a very pleasing one, and one that is greatly appreciated by all those interested in the growth and welfare of the school. The library fund is in such shape that it will be possible to place a large order of books for the library in the near future. The library is growing rapidly and is thus becoming more and more valuable in the daily work of the institution. On the evening of June 30th at the home of the bride's parents, Dr. Jacob N. Bowman, of the Normal School faculty, was united in marriage to Miss Edna Wilson, daughter of Prof. Washington Wilson, also a member of the Normal School faculty. Dr. and Mrs. Bowman have taken up their residence a t 511 High street, and will be at home to their friends after the first of September. After seven years of patient toil the Normal School campus presents a beautiful appearance. The entire lawn in front of the buildings has been seeded and is now covered with a beautiful green sward. The grass is kept mown short so that the entire front campus has the appearance of a well kept lawn. It is expected that that part of the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 campus around the Normal dining hall will be dressed with good soil and seeded yet this year, which will complete the improvements begun some months ago. The present summer session of the Normal School has proven very successful. The attendance is twenty per sent greater this year than last, and the demand for instruction in regular Normal School work also shows a higher grade of scholarship than in former years. Among those enrolled are students from Missouri, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Several students who have been in attendance during the entire year will receive certificates from the institution at the close of the summer session. This is the first year that a training department has been maintained in connection with the summer term, and the results are very satisfactory. Pupils were received only in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and thorough work in a few subjects has been insisted upon. The summer session has been in charge of Profs. J. T. Forrest, and he has been assisted by Prof. Romine, Wilson, Lull, Bowman, and Misses Hays, Sperry, Hogle and Sullivan. Mrs. Smith was in charge of the critic work in the training department. The new member of the Board of Trustees to succeed Mr. E. E. White, deceased, is Mr. F. F. Handschy of this city. The appointment gives very general satisfaction, for Mr. Handschy has been a successful and popular business man in this community for the past fifteen years. For several years he was county treasurer, and at present he is cashier of the Bellingham National Bank. He has always taken an active interest in matters of civic concern, and will prove a valuable member on an educational board. The Normal School cultivates an interest in healthful athletic sports among its stu- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger dents. A series of basket ball games is conducted each winter among the teams of the various classes. These games are held on Friday evenings and all students are made welcome. During the autumn, foot ball commands the interest of the young men, while in the spring tennis and base ball are favorite recreations. The gymnasium is well equipped for indoor exercises, having valuable apparatus, and is well adapted for public games, having good galleries for students or visitors The Normal School has received many calls for teachers which it has been unable to fill. Those who received diplomas and certificates are all planning to teach during the coming year with few exceptions, but the demand still greatly exceeds the supply, and the teaching profession offers excellent opportunities for young people who desire both fair remuneration and valuable experience as they enter life's work. The Normal School librarian, Miss Mabel Wilson, is spending her vacation in the libraries at the Leland Stanford University in California. The trip offers opportunity for both recreation and study of library methods. Three member of the Normal School faculty will explore Mt. Baker with the Mazamas. They are Miss Sperry, Miss Hays and Miss Montgomery. Prof. F. W. Eply has been teaching classes in physics during the present summer session at the University of Washington. The records of the Normal School show that ninety-three different students have received papers from the instution during the present year. Of these, 43 received diplomas; 30 received secondary certificates, and 20 received elementary certificates. These ninety-three students constitute almost one-third of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 the entire student-body for the year, which speaks exceedingly well for the character of scholarship of the the students in general. Several member of the faculty are planning a trip into the Slate Creek region. The party will include Prof. Forrest, Prof. Eply, Prof. Lull, Prin. Mathes, and possibly one or two other members. Each person will carry his own equipment and supplies, and the rule has been established that everyone must sleep out-of-doors during the entire tramp. A large order of supplies has been placed for the opening of the next school year. These include mostly materials for daily use, as there will be few changes in text books for the coming semester. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 June-July - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS HAVE YOU SEEN KERNS' NEW STORE Since they moved to 105 West Holly Street?

The opening of the new school year is always an event of more than ordinary interest to new students. The first few days are often filled with varying experiences. The arrival in the city, the first visit to the school, the selection of a boarding place, the running of the gauntlet before the various faculty committees are also experiences more or less filled with surprises, and sometimes with keen disappointments, but after these are over and regular class work has begun the atmosphere, so to speak, begins to clear; new associations are formed, and the real pleasures of school life begin. It is hoped by the writer that these second experiences have already been realized by the students of the Normal Sehool, and it is urged that all students endeavor to make full use of the social, literary and religious advantages offered by the institution. Let each one consider it a privilege to become an active member of one or more of the organizations maintained by the student-body. Always arrange to attend the social functions of the school and never miss a lecture if you can avoid it. Subscribe for the Normal School Messenger; speak kindly of your teachers and fellow students; say a good word for your school when opportunity offers, and always be ready to defend its good name. At the same time be just to yourself. Grant yourself time for an occasional social hour and lastly permit us to say that every student, both old and new, will always find a warm welcome at the home of the writer. If any student has ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 a lonesome hour or wishes to ask for counsel or advice, or to call simply for a social chat, he will receive a cordial welcome. The latch-string is always out. EDWARD T. MATHES. SENIOR CLASS. Yes, the senior class this year numbers only thirty-seven, smaller in number than last year, but we have something that they did not have last year, nor year before,no, nor year before! What is that? Seven real, live boys! Indeed an event in the history of the Normal of which we are justly proud. At the beginning of the year a meeting was called and Miss Ada Myers elected president. Miss Myers has been connected with the Normal for a number of years and has the welfare of the school and class at heart. Miss Alice McCullough, who took her junior work with the class of '06 and spent the last year teaching, was elected vice-president. Miss Ellen Sweet, also an old student who has been teaching, was chosen as secretary. For treasurer we elected Mr. Charles Jones who, altho' a members of the 3rd year class last year, has made up his work and joined the great and glorious class of '07. The faculty graciously allowed us two class tfeachers: Miss Frances Hays and Prof. Washington Wilson. Please observe the powers linked with the Seniors.. Note also, that the editor-in-chief and business manager of the Messenger are Seniors. On October 12, the class had a jolly little party in the gym, where we got better acquainted and learned: Vas is das? Vas is das? Das is Senior! ! Ain't it? Athletic practice has begun. Wait and watch us tear down the works in basketball. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger SENIOR RECEPTION. The guests of the Senior reception, Friday evening October 26th, were pleasantly surprised to find upon reaching the second floor that a magic spell had transformed the familiar class rooms of their daily routine into tasty drawing, music and dining rooms. Autumn leaves and ivy abounded everywhere, plants and rugs gave a homelike air that put the guests quickly at their ease. A farce, "The Bull Terrior and the Baby," entertained the guests during the first part of the evening, after which a social time followed and ice cream and cake were served in the dining room (i. e. Prof. Wilson's room). The members of the Senior class were recognized not only by their badges of olive and cream but by their gracious manner which gave the guests such a pleasant evening. Owing to a misunderstanding the 2nd years had planned an informal reception to the freshmen to be held in the gym. The entertaining class kindly transferred their reception, at a late hour, from Friday to Saturday evening. The unselfishness displayed by the class of 1911 is to be commended by the school. Y. W. C. A. At the Y. W. C. A. summer conference of the Northwest held at Gearhart, Ore., from August 31 to September 11, Bellingham was represented by a faculty member and four association girls. They were: Miss Sperry, Minnie Le Sourd, Ada Myers, Minnie Carver and Gladys Patric. The conference was composed of delegates from four cities, and many secretaries from the State, National and World's Work. Gerhart is on the coast of Oregon and is one of the most beautiful summer resorts in the Northwest and this fact, together with the many able speakers, made the conference a most enjoyable and profitable event. It has been the aim of the association to meet all the new students and give them a hearty welcome. With this in view, two receptions have been given. The first was an informal reception given to the girls on the first Friday afternoon of school; the second was a formal reception held in the evening of Sep- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 5 ---------- The Mo final Messenger 5 tembfir 21, to which all students and friends of the Normal were invited. Extensive preparations are being made for the State Convention which is to be held here November 1, 2, 3 and 4. Every association of the state intends sending representatives and we wish our friends to join us in extending to them a hearty welcome. Miss Elizabeth Wilson, editor of the Evangel and the head of the training institute for secretaries will be with us, also many forceful state workers. "SCHOOLS OF THE NORTH." The educational system of the Yukon Territory is excellent. It is the ambition of the Board of Education to prepare their students to enter any college or university with as much honor and high standing as pupils who come from the preparatory schools of the outside world. The center of this great system is Dawson. Its schools are noted for their good equipment. Owing to the country's great wealth, the expenditure for schools is very great. Much has been expended in the various laboratories for teaching the sciences, and in the well equipped libraries. A great many teachers are employed, the average salary being one hundred and seventy-five dollars per month. Canadian teachers have the preference, but an American teacher may secure a position is she is able to pass an examination for a first grade certificate from Vancouver, B. C. Vacation is very short, school opening the middle of August and closing the last week in June. Although the temperature sometimes falls to seventy degrees below zero, the schools are seldom compelled to close. The superintendent, who founded these schools and improved them from year to year, has recently resigned, which is much regretted by the people of the territory. He has, however, been succeeded by a man in every way capable of carrying out the plans so well begun. The above article was written by Miss Cecelia Stroop, of Dawson, Alaska, who is here attending school. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELUNGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of EDSON IRISH, 1311 Railroad Ave. EDITORIAL STAFF GUY SELVIN ALLISON . . . .

OCTOBER, 1906 No. 1 EDITORIAL Thru six years of a successful existence, the Messenger has lived, and with this issue it enters upon its seventh year, full of hope and enthusiasm for a greater degree of perfection. With more than three hundred students and a host of friends to fill its pages with interesting notes, there, is every reason to believe that the Messenger has before it the most successful year of its existence. With a corps of editors, glib of tongue and quick to see, it is reasonable to believe that every student in school will desire the paper, looking forward for each issue with unbounded interest; and to the extent that each class and organization does give its share of support, to that extent will the paper be successful. It is the earnest desire of the editorial staff that every student in school will subscribe for it, thereby aiding in the establishment of a fund which, it is hoped, will in a few years be large enough to equip a printing office in connection with the school. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page [7] ---------- EDITORIAL STAFF baft to right—Opp«p ttova—flnnlt Thrall, draaa T*anuUn, Baal* GBavna*, ]4o*h Davenport, Iralu Sniralitfa, Oladya Patvla.

Class President Myrtle Porter Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Ethel Cook Class Eoll Thirty-eight The class of '09 during the school term of '05-'06, even though an under-class, played a leading part in making the school year, as far as class competition was concerned, the most spirited in the school's history. It is this same class, with its numbers somewhat swelled by new students, that will take its place among the foremost this year. Mr. Epley and Miss Hogle are the class teachers. This choice is singularly happy and under the guidance of Mr. Epley's philosophy, together with Miss Hogle's initable capacity for arranging social events, the class will do much in the line of class competition. The Fourth Year Class is proud of its class teachers, proud of its president and other officers and proud of each other. The class held an informal party in the society hall on the evening of October 20. Some musical numbers and recitations were given and the remainder of the evening was spent with games and getting acquainted. This little party was the forerunner of many more social affairs. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING. Alone and quiet I sat in that sacred recess adjoining room 24, pondering on the quiet and stillness in the Great Hall of Learning, when lo! the massive door swings on its hinges and the stifled tread of a vast multitude reaches my ear. Shall I enter and bid them welcome ? No. They are at home, they need no help. See how studious, how sedate they are. The seats are all full and yet on they come. A wee, small man, with a piping voice, repeats again and again, "We must organize." Time passes. A great, tall, raven-haired youth occupies the chair of state. No need to ask him his name. "The Smith, a mighty man is he." And now, for fear that he, who is to lead, may not always be there, the multitude with one cry, selects as vice-president Miss Morrison, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 equally as strong and capable as her superior. A hush now falls on the throng, but it is soon broken by the voice of Miss Sillix, who declares that all these happenings should be kept as a model for our successors and who would be more capable than Miss Spedding? From another in the throng comes this question, "Who can we trust to handle the vast capital of the Junior Class?" Quickly comes the answer, "Miss Haycox." Why do all eyes now turn toward the door? Lurking outside is a 4th year. Immediately Mr. Holliday suggests that he, of all others, be allowed to deal with slick culprits. The president, rising slowly, appoints a committee to draught the immemorable constitution of this body. Thus ends the first great concourse of the Junior Class of 1906. C. S. On the eve of October 13th, the Juniors gave a class party in the society hall. In order that every one might get acquainted, we had a conversational game, in which we discussed our homes, the Normal school, and various other things. The Junior class colors are seal brown and gold. Please do not mistake the Fourth Years for us, even though their colors are similar. If you are in doubt as to which class a person belongs notice the dignified carriage of a Junior and then compare that with the indifference of a Fourth Year. If you were in assembly during the Teachers' Institute you could not help but hear— Woh, wdh, wes. Woh, wdh, wes. Juniors, Juniors, Yes, yes. SECOND YEAR CLASS. The Second Year Class was organized Oct. 5, 1906. At first the number of members was quite small but as there are more students joining the class each day, we now have thirty members. We consider ourselves fortunate with Artie Thrall as president of our class, as she was our freshmen president. Miss Plummer, who attended the Ellensburg Normal last year, is our vice-president. Pearl Stanton and Olive Kale ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger were elected as secretary and treasurer. Our yell master is Elizabeth Workman, who is very competent for this position. Grace Tremain was elected as basketball manager and we all hope to have a very successful team. We had a great deal of enjoyment and excitement in selecting our class colors, finally deciding upon cardinal and cream. Throt-a-torthrat-ta-thrat-ta-thrat Terra-ter-lix-ter-lix-ter-lix ' Kich-a-ba-ba-kich-a-ba-ba Sophomore-Sophomore Ra! Ra! Ral Miss Nellie Cooper, who for five years, has acted as secretary to Dr. Mathes, resigned her position and returned to her home in McMinn-ville, Oregon. During her stay here, her pleasing manners and affability won for her a host of friends who regret very much to see her leave. Miss Nellie McBride, who has been teaching in the Franklin school, has accepted the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Cooper. Miss McBride is a graduate of the Bellingham High School and has attended school one year each at Stanford and University of Washington. We give her a hearty welcome and trust that before long she may accustom herself to her new duties. THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF THE PLAN. SUBJECT PLAN. I. Leading conclusions to be left in the minds of the pupils. 1. The pupils have no idea what the teacher is driving at. 2. That the teacher is very glad when the bell rings for dismissal. 3. That the pupils are mighty glad when the bell rings, also. 4. That the teacher is mighty scared when the critic appears. 5. That the practice teachers are very easy to bluff. I I . All leading facts used in reaching these conclusions. 1. Too numerous to be mentioned but there are to be found between the cov- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 October - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 ers of the text book. For name of textr apply to the critic teacher. If she doesn't know, go to H. G. L. and if he doesn't know, he'll look it up in his outline. I I I . Show how these facts will be presented to the children. 1. Have them thoroughly chewed and pre-digested before administering them to the children to be "dug-out." 2. Cram it in, jam it in, slam it in; anyway to get it in—and to get A in teaching. IV. Show how you will expect the children to arrive at the above conclusion. 1. By one period of careful ( ?) preparation in the workroom. 2. The chief method used is the "stum-ble- on-to-it" method. 3. The welcome smile with which the critic-teacher or supervisor is greeted by the practice-teacher leads the pupil to Conclusion 4.

The First Years have in their class about thirty-five hard-working students. Among them are several boys. The class organization has boys at its head. That is why it is so progressive. Mr. John Turner, the president, presides at the class-meetings with a wisdom equal to that of a Senior. Miss Carrie Smith, the vice-president, is the president's able helper. Secretary Louis Crozier records the doings of the class in a book that will be a pleasure to read when the First Years of today are the Seniors of a day to come. Mr. Crozier is also burdened with the class-funds. ANNIE D. HALL, Class-Editor. Schedule of the preliminary games in basket ball. November 2nd, '06— Seniors and Second Years.

Tis a motley crowd, that teaching corps Of men and women, almost a score, Whom mother state hath gleaned from out The dedagogues that roam about, To teach us facts, and theories, too, Wherewith to fight a battle true Against Dame Ignorance's crew. This teaching corps, we said before* Is motley, though we them adore. 'Tis true there are some who once were young, Were giddy, loud and gay; But time has changed their silly tongue, And now they never think of play. There are some from whom a smile ne'er comes, There are some who are always gay; There are some who never get to know The student's little joy or woe. There are some who are worked with ease by some. There are some who work some, too; There are somte who are neither worked nor work, But the sum of them all are true. There are a few who are so stout— Far more than a span about; And some so lean, with eyes so keen, We sometimes think them mean. There are some—one or two—'tis true, Who stand six feet or more; And some so short that their forms distort, When to speak they take the floor. There are some whose eyes are deepest brown% There are some whose eyes are gray; There are some who wear the rimless "specks," And have for many a day. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger We forgot to say that there are some So beautiful, young, aglow, But true there are—we iriean to say— There were—in the distant, long ago. Oh, strange to tell, these teachers, too, Are human, not divine; There are sometimes streaks, that show they're freaks, As any common kind. But, taking one and all we say, From each some truth we learn, We love that motley crowd, we do, E'en tho their gaze in class we spurn. AS ONE PUPIL SEES THEM. EDWARD T. MATHES.

All copy must be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief on or before the 20th of the month. Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. VI. NOVEMBER, 1906 No. 2 EDITORIAL. The Messenger has a circulation at this time of 500, a few of which are sent to the coast of Connecticut, and from the Gulf to Minnesota, and even finding its way into far-off Alaska. It enters into fifteen or twenty High Schools. From its pages other students and people judge this school; so what enters into it determines our standing as a school. As we are interested in our school we would have others of like opinion, and in order to obtain this condition we must make our paper represent the best talent there is in school. This can only be done by the student body giving its support in materials. There are those in school who have traveled in distant lands. Can't you write an interesting article upon those travels? There are those whose imaginations can give a beautiful story. "Won't you write it? There are those whose minds see and feel the poetic things of life; can't you contribute a poem? There are those who actually see humor in school life. "Won't you use your talent to help others see it? It is the earnest desire of the editorial staff that anyone who has something which will be of interest to the school will give us such material in the news box, or hand it to one of the editors. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 AS SOME PEOPLE SEE TODAY. Today? Yes today is but the allowance Times gives to sun and moon To run their certain courses thru The limitless expanse of the heavens; Just a stitch which Father Time Taken in weaving Eternity; Just a few hours for sun to shine, Just a few hours to weep, Just a few hours for man to toil, Idle awhile, and then to sleep. AS OTHER PEOPLE SEE TODAY. Today—a rich and sparkling gem From God's storehouse of time, Set full with four and twenty hours, Mere specks, so infinitely fine; So rich, so grand, so full perchance, That I have caught but just one glance; Improved so few of moments true, And scarce begun, yes, left undone A thousand things that would have brot Me nearer God—the Perfect Thot. Today—which from Eternity wrung Recognition for all of its worth. Worth—What worth a day in Eternity's sight When ceaseless aeons are not a mite, Nay, less a lightning flash at night? "What claim has Today," the ages ask, "For praying old Father Time to check The speeding hours of its day? "Is it more rich, endowed, more gay, That man might wish it to delay? Do its few hours bring greater dowers Than other passed days? Does its sun shine at ev'n decline With shades more manifold? Or, are its hours like those of ours, And those which yet shall be?" Oh, mournful past, why dost thou grasp My unused, fair Today? Its opportunities are at my command, While yours are far from touch of hand, So I love today, for from it I may Glean truth and helpfulness. But you have gone, ne'er to return, So you, I must, I will e'er spurn. Oh, grant to me thou Infinite One, True meaning of today, Oh, from the hours which are so few, Which flee, and ne'er return; Wilt Thou but hear my feeble prayer And grant me just this boon, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger To see, to act, to consummate, Some noble deed or word? LAROC ARLOG THE STUDENT'S PROBLEM. In these days of rush and hurry men are asking themselves, "How may I utilize my time in order that I may receive the greatest returns for the time and effort put forth? It this spirit that has sunken into oblivion the congenial life of the earlier days; it is this spirit that has robbed the home and individual of that essence which makes them grand and noble—time for unconcealed and free intercourse— real altruism. Into every phase of life this condition of affairs has entered. The laborer rushes home at night, retires, arises and rushes to work again; the busy merchant is up and off with the sun, with scarcely time to eat; the merchant, the farmer, the politician; in fact, everyone, seems to be rushing as if their all depended upon that day's effort. As a consequence, men become narrow and selfish, and thus, unhappy, leaving the world no better by their having lived in it. In college life, which is so short, time is precious, and each one feels that he must get all the knowledge he can in those four or six years, consequently he lives to himself, studying till late at night, arising early to study, rushing to school, reciting, he returns to his room to study again, and thus the weeks go by. Soon he graduates and goes out into his field of work without having been known except in schoolroom, making few friends, and robbing himself of much pleasure that he owes to himself. Does such a student really get the most out of his college training? No. Man is a social creature and hence loves to mingle with people. As teachers, this is of more importance, for they must have the power of adaptation, if they are to be real teachers. Where is this power to be developed? In college life. How? By meeting and mingling with fellow-students. This comes not from the classroom, for there they interchange ideas for the mere sake of knowledge. Then, where? By meeting other outside of the study room, and in other interests than those of books. In social gatherings, in class functions, on the athletic field, or in friendly rivalry. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 To the extent, then, that each student gives his share of time and interest to a common cause—class spirit, to that extent will he grow out of his own selfish life into a broader and more complete altruism. Nor will he be the worse for it. Observation and experience have shown that the students who accomplish most when they leave school are those who have been most active in the different interests of their "Alma Mater." In closing, ask yourself this question: "Am I giving my share of time and talent to make school life attractive? If so, well and good; If not, then do not wonder that the student body is uncongenial and selfish, for remember, 'Men who carry away the riches of India must carry into India some riches.' " DEATH OF MISS VAN REYPEN. The students and faculty of the Normal were grieved to hear of the death of Miss Sarah Van Reypen, class of '06, who went to California last July for her health. Miss Van Reypen, a year ago, was in school, hard at work—too hard for her strength. Her health began to fail and after the holidays she stopped school to take up teaching, which she found to be too much for her failing health. So she remained at home until July, when, accompanied by Miss Mildred Wilson, she went to California, where she seemed better for a time, but gradually declined until death at last claimed her. Miss Van Reypen was held in high esteem by faculty and students, as was shown by the reponsible positions she held. She was editor-in-chief of the Messenger, also president of the Athletic Association, which offices she filled ably, besides accomplishing best results in her other school work. LITERARY SOCIETIES. A good, pure, intellectual woman is a power for good in any community. Her influence will continue long after she has ceased to act her part in the tragedy of life. Give her the crown and scepter of a rural school teacher, and her power will be greatly increased, and the fruits of her toil will be rich beyond compare. Amjong the many opportunities of usefulness there is one which seems to be much neglected. The fashions have changed and ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger more time is now devoted to the modern fads, which, let me say, are sometimes useful as well as ornamental. The old time literary society was productive of much value, and is yet capable of good results. It caused the people to meet on common ground. The older ones discussed subjects important and unimportant. The vital questions of "immortality" down to those of little importance such as "pursuit and possession, as causes of happiness." Here, also, national and international problems were discussed along with the one as to ownership in the case where the pumpkin vine grew thru the neighbor's fence and bore fruit as well as "deriding the motherhood of a chicken hatched by a hen other than the one that laid the egg." I suppose that that question would now be much more complicated on account of the incubator. Many who remember the days of literary societies in the old school house, can point to ministers, lawyers, doctors and successful business men, as timid, awkward, performers of long ago. Many a man can date his intellectual awakening from one of those societies. They were the preparatory school in which a large per cent, of our successful men received their first inspiration and training. The teacher who has ability and inclination to revive the old custom, will be able to sow intellectual seed that will, as the years go by, yield rich harvests to civilization. The literary societies in the Normal are provided for the purpose of giving you students the training that will prepare you for the work in rural communities. If you find some one has started this good work, take hold with a will and help it along. If no one has made a beginning, then it is your duty to start the good work. Long after you have gone and are forgotten, the good work will continue as a monument to a faithful worker. JOHN T. FORREST. A BANQUET. The faculty sat around the ruins of what was once a Thanksgiving turkey, and its accompaniments, but, alas, what a wreck! Suddenly there arose one upon whose face intelligence actually glowed. Lifting high in the air the banquet cup, he cried: "Here's to the student who mistakes the hall for a boulevard. Here's to the one that ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 daily flunks, even tho' I glare. Here's to them all—may they sometime in the glorious future learn the meaning of silence." Straightway from the opposite side of the table arose one who cried: "Here's to the one that is ever coming after the roll is called. May she be on time when Gabriel calls the last roll." "Ha, ha," laughed another, "Here's to the one who bluffeth not, nor laugheth loud in the work room, but her delight is in her subject plan on which she meditates many days and nights." "Confound it," was heard from behind a cream pitcher. "What a mess of idiots— Here's to the student who, altho she can't follow me, still gets much from the class—who bring to class neither knitting nor sewing; to whom the individual " "Here—here—here's to the one from the farm, even if they think the gas comes in on a wire. Here's to the one whose lecture course ticket and rebate fund are clear." From behind a wreck of bones came a voice: "Here's to the girl whose note book is a thing of beauty—yea, the one who gets honorable mention." "Here's to the one whose music note book is very excellent—whose joy is classical selections, and who can go up the ladder with pa without laughing." Yet another arose: "Here's to the once that never mentions 'Reed and Kellogg,' and to whom Browning is " At this point our reporter was called away to a fudge party, and we failed to get a report of the other toasts in time for this issue. "We hope that we may obtain them some time in the future, and our readers may have the edification of hearing the rest of those gems of tho't promulgated by this august assembly. KLONDIKE REVERIE. The Yukon hills lie buried Beneath the winter's snows, All signs of life seem vanished, All trace of worldly woes. The trees keep silent vigil With branches bent down low, The north wind passes by them Unheard, they do not know. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 18 ---------- 18 The Normal Messenger But when the full moon rises In sky that's clear and blue, The old white hills awaken And seem a gorgeous hue. The snow is no more sleeping, But sparkling with delight At moonbeams gaily passing Changing darkness into light. A rabbit leaves his burrow, Darts o'er the frozen snow Amazed by light and splendor He wonders where to go. The quietude is broken By some wild shrieking tune, A malamute is sadly Lamenting to the moon. The Northern lights flash wildly Across from sky to sky. Their white trail seems to tell us The frost king reigns on high. But soon the vision's ended As dawn breaks on the scene, The old moon's slowly sinking Show's 'twas but a winter's dream. All told, we have a picture Composed of life and light, The harmony of nature Shows our great Creator's might. MARIE ODEGAARD.

I can't describe him very well, but a girl once said, "His little goatee tickles me so all the time," and a great man once described him after something from the Chemistry room, scented the building as "Prof. , with his nose screwed up and a string tied around it." Some people say that it is a relic of barbarism to tack your grades upon the door, but as a rule he is considered rather gentle (?) Indeed he looked so fatherly or something that when he went to go in thejnusic room one day the whole class yelled out,~"Pa." I guess that's all I know about him except that he has used up one bottle of red ink already this year, and the second is going fast. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 November - Page 20 ---------- 20 The Normal Messenger ANNOUNCEMENT.

The writer is not moved to make this contribution because he thinks that he has anything new to offer on the subject, for Job has inspired many volumes of erudite and profound exegeses, or because he believes that he is afflicted in a manner like unto that of Job. The author of the book of Job, like all great authors, has not only presented in vivid and artistic form a leading conception in the thought and the spirit of his race, but in that spirit he has seen the birth of a new conception and its conflict with the old. He was interpreter and prophet of his time. The old, the traditional, the accepted is represented in the arguments of Job's comforters, the passage to the new in the heroic struggles of Job and in his final justification. The problem of the entire poem, aside from its prose prologue, hinges upon the argument of the question, why should the innocent suffer? The tradition answer to this question was that punishment or suffering was but retribution to the sins of Israel. "Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent?" "Or where were the upright cut off?" "According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity," ' "And sow trouble, reap the same." "By the breath of God they perish," "And by the blast of his anger they are consumed. ' ' This traditional view made the Almighty strictly a being of justice. According to the understanding of Job's comforters he or his forebears had sinned and this was the cause of his affliction. The only means of expiation was to be found in absolute humiliation before God. "Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants"; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger "And His angels He chargeth with folly"; "How much more them that dwell in houses of clay," "Whose foundation is in the dust," "Which are crushed before the moth." "Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed," etc. This "I-am-a-worm-in-the-dust, tramp-upon-me" point of view was and still is a typical Oriental attitude. One must renounce his individuality, his self-integrity, as preparation for his absorption into Nirvana. There was something of this self-abasement evident in the ascetic practices of the Christian church during the Dark Ages. Such heroes as Job helped to save Hebraism from being absorbed into the spirit of the other Oriental religions of the time. The attitude of Job was like that of his comforters in that he conceived God to be the one Omnipotent and Omniscient Being and Creator, who giveth all things and taketh away all things. His attitude was like that of his comforters in conceiving his duty to lie in the service of the Almighty, in trusting Him and obeying .Him. But unlike his comforters, he did not fear God. He would trust Him, serve Him, but to fear Him would be to lose his own self-respect. He must see clearly his relationship to the Almighty. To commit himself blindly into the hands of God that he might be healed and escape the pangs of his malady would be an act directed under a motive of cowardly fear, would be a loss of self integrity. His comforters accuse him of assuming an attitude of self-righteousness. "For thou say est my doctrine is pure," "And I am clean in thine eyes." To them self-integrity in the presence of the Ajlmighty had no meaning. But in the presence of this same awe-inspiring being which caused his friends to quake with fear, Job chose to maintain his integrity and assert his moral dignity. "Surely I would speak to the Almighty," "And I desire to reason with God." "Withdraw thy hand far from me"; "And let not thy terror make me afraid"; Then call Thou, and I will answer"; "Or let me speak, and answer thou me." Job did not declare his perfect innocence, but at all times asserts his right to use his reason. He confronts an overpowering fate and finds grounds for it in the works of the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Plate [a] ---------- JOHN TURNER • PRESIDENT FRESHMAN CLASS ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 Almighty. But he would battle with fate. He finds his consolation not in the words of his would-be comforters, but in his own inner moral worth. To himself he must first be true before he can rightly serve the Almighty. He accepts a wonderful, mighty, providential God, worthy of our trust and love, but not of our fear, for to fear God would only degrade our conception of Him. Job passes from a condition of blind faith through alternating periods of doubt and strength into one of clearer insight and a more reasonable faith. Only brave and courageous souls are fit for the vision. The revelation came to Job because his integrity required it. In refusing to transgress his own worth he dignified the Almighty. Through his insistence upon personal worth, human relationship between man and God was ennobled and raised to a plane much beyond that of contemporary religions. In Job Hebraism reached its high-water mark. H. G. LULL. THE KLONDIKE MILLIONAIRE. He's a dough of early days In both style and many ways, And you'd spot him out for that most anywhere ; He's bound for warmer climes, Aiid thinks, for hotter times, For soon he'll be a Klondike millionaire. When outside land he spies, Everything he sees he buys, Prom five-cent beers to wines so old and rare; That ere the week is past, He doubts if it will last, To play the sporty Klondike millionaire. He travels o'er the land In an auto great and grand, Like a wild tornado out upon a tear. He takes in all the towns, Has his little ups and downs, Just like any other common millionaire. One day a town took him; Of course the past was dim; But on waking up he found that he was there; He thought that he saw stars, But discovered it was bars, Just because he was a Klondike millionaire. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger After that luck wasn't his, For all folks mixed in his biz; And the big fat eops would look at him and stare. As his funds were running low, Times were getting kind of slow, So he dropped the nom de plume of millionaire. His thoughts were turned to home; No longer would he roam; But bravely to the Klondike bum his fare. The work was pretty rough And he found it mighty tough After having been a Klondike millionaire. Now, the fellow's not to blame For his high and mighty name, As he didn't try to peddle out hot air; But cheeehakos always think A Klondiker has the chink, So just simply dub him Klondike millionaire. MARIE ODEGAARD. ICELAND. Iceland, the largest island of Europe except Great Britain, lies on the edge of the temperate belt, with the waves of the Arctic Ocean breaking against its northern shores. The seasons are wet and stormy, and the summers are short, so the agriculture is carried on with difficulty. The leading products are sheep, cattle, horses, salmon from the rivers, and fish from the coasts; wool, whale oil, eider ducksdown, and butter, hay and vegetables. The longest days in Iceland are twenty-four hours in the northern part of the country. This accounts for a greater vegetation than one might expect for the latitude of the island. It is most fascinating to watch the midnight sun in the spring; also the splendor of the Northern Lights in winter. One could not easily forget such a marvelous beauty of nature. The coastline is very irregular, thus affording fine harbors. The island was formed by some volcanic eruption beneath the level of the sea, then glaciated and drowned. There are magnificent fiords as in Norway, surrounded by majestic mountains, at whose feet the picturesque farmhouses stand, built of Norway timber, surrounded by their lawns, called ' ' t u n ." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 The people are largely distributed along the coasts and in the valleys between the mountains. A considerable amount of fishing is carried on along the coasts, and the sea about Iceland is much frequented by fishermen from Western Europe. Regkjavik is the capital and largest city, inhabitants about eight thousand, and is, together with some other small towns along the coast, a shipping port for the fish, which are sent to all parts of the globe. I have even seen Icelandic herring in The Fair store in Belling-ham, Wash. Iceland possesses a wealth of historic lore and natural beauty, and there are few countries in the world in which such great variety of scenery can be found within a compass so limited, for from peak to sea, from pasture to desert, from ice to lava, is often a transition for which an hour easily suffices. ELLA J. PETERSON. THE STUDENT'S LOT. How hard the Normal students' lot, How weary is our way, So many a Hays obscures our path, So oft our sky is Gray. Oft in some Forrest we are lost And wander there alone, And when we look for easier paths We run against a Stone. And when we to the Baker go And humbly ask for bread, We're given unknown quantities Of roots and things, instead. For Manual Training we have sought But found it but a myth, Though to the Carpenter we've been, The Miller and the Smith. And if there sometimes comes a Lull "Ks nosier than before, And when we think our work is done Still there is always Moore. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of S.

Issued the 30th of every month. All copy must be in the hands of the Editor-in-Chief on or before the 20th of the month. Entered December ai, 1903, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3,1879. Vol. VI. DECEMBER, 1906 No. 3 ERITORIAL. We first and second-year students, while perhaps ignored by the Seniors, feel that our place in the school is of some importance, and we wish to say a few words in our own behalf. These first years of the course are the foundation of our future work and lives, and we want to make them count. We came here filled with enthusiasm and zeal, prepared to do a year of good, hard work; we felt that every moment should be spent in study, consequently our class organizations were somewhat neglected for a time. However, they are in good running order now, and there is a feeling of mutual sympathy and friendship existing. We extend our heartiest Christmas greetings to the faculty and our fellow-students. The Entertainment Committee of the Faculty has arranged a series of contests to be held next semester. They are to be in debate, declamation and essays, and are open to any student of the school, whose application is approved by the above-named committee. In each of the contests there will be two prizes: Debate, $40 and $20; Declamation, $25 and $15; Essay, $20 and $10. This announcement has brought forth a lively interest upon the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 part of those who are in Miss (Hays' department, and among the members of the Debating Club, and as a consequence, it is hoped that there will be a stimulus which will develop many able speakers among the student body. "MORSE TERRIBILIS." Some die of baker's piecrust, A death that is most drear; Some gorge themselves with twisters, Until the end draws near; Some flunk examinations, Then lie upon the bier. But of all the rightful endings, The one that all most fear, Is the death from a Junior essay— Let us shed a quiet tear. LETTER TO SANTA. Bellingham, Wash., Dec. 14, 1906. Dear Santa Claus: It is nearly Christmas time and we are very lonely, so for fear you might forget us when you come to the Normal School, for we cannot make much of a demonstration, we thought we would write you and tell you some of our needs. Dear Santa, we know you are very busy, but if you knew how pitiful was our condition, your sympathies would surely warm toward us. It is very hard for us to make a show of spirit when we have none, so please send us a small degree of "spunk," or as the vulgar say, "grit," this Christmas—just a little, for we could not handle much. It is so hard to lift our heads in self-assurance in the presence of that august body, the Senior Glass, so please send us some of that useful commodity, conceit, for though we know we are utterly unworthy, and have no reason to be egotistical, we would not that others should know it also. We can never hope to excel in any way, but if you could send us a capacity for doing any one thing well, be it little or big, it Would advance our position materially in the school. We would like so much to win just one game of basketball. The Kline Cup we know is entirely beyond our possibilities—but we would love to experience the elation of victory just once, be it however small, so, Santa, won't you please send us a flashing, high jumping "center," and two fine, active "forwards," and at least one strong, watchful "guard." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger It pushes us desperately to attain such rank in our studies as will give us a chance for a second examination, after flunking, and we have neither energy nor play left in us, and we are sore depressed. But if you think we are asking too much of you in a busy season, do at least give us our last urgent request—a small part of understanding, or in other words, "gumption," which would at least tell us when we were the butt of some horrid joke and save us from smiling blindly in ignorance of the general mirth. If we only had three or four class teachers we might be able to do some stunts that would amount to something. As it is, we have only two and they have almost exhausted their resources. We are beset on all sides by the great wit and wisdom of the Seniors, the strength of the lungs of the Third Years, the cheek of the Second Tears, and the inspiration and ridicule of the First Years, until we are disconsolate and dejected. So, Santa, in our great need, we write you, asking that you give us a little more of your attention than the other classes, for they have ability to help themselves, and we do perish for want of some kindness. Yours in earnest supplication, THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1908, B. S. N. S. Why do certain members of the faculty take special pains to converse in loud tones with each other and with students in the halls f Is it merely to show their own independence of mind or to set a good example to the students and give visitors a favorable impression of the school f THE BASKETBALL GAMES. As They Appear to a Student. The casual visitor at our basketball games sees only one side of the situation. From the point of view of the spectator, he sees the game as it is, the efforts of the contesting teams, the score and the enthusiasm of the classes. But for the player there is more—the anxious waiting for her class standing, the hours of patient (?) practicing, and the class spirit within her urging her on to gain honor, not for herself but for her class; which, with banners ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 flying and homs blowing, appears at the games 'midst great excitement and hangs over the railings urging her on with encouraging words. 'Midst deafening cheers and a wild tumult, the Third Year girls met and practiced on the Freshmer November 9. Although the Freshmen, with palpitating hearts and streaming brows, set forth every effort within their young bodies, they were defeated by their more experienced rivals. This being the first game for the First Years, they were more or less timid about appearing before the throng assembled to witness their defeat. The same evening the gallant Seniors won from the Second Years. All the Seniors were there to witness their victory, and their strenuous voices were heard above all the uproar. Peace reigned until the 23rd of November, when the second games were played. The Juniors and Fourth Years displayed their class rivalry, and although the Juniors were confident of winning, they did not realize how able their opponents were, and not until they were defeated did they acknowledge that the Fourth Years were their superiors. The other game of the evening was between the Seniors and First Years, and again the Seniors were victorious. Two weeks passed before Miss LeConte was again seen consulting with the different teachers, and the group of girls were in the halls trying to arrange new "line ups," etc. Friday night, December 14, the Second Years defeated the Third Years. The Second Years did good work, but the class of 1910 labored under a great disadvantage, only one of their regular players being permitted to play. This was the night that the Juniors, losing a game to the First Year team by a score of 9 to 3, were blue, discouraged, cross and irritable. Never mind, Juniors, perhaps next time your adversaries will not be so strong. The Freshman knows not, and knows not that he knows not. The Sophomore knows not, but knows that he knows not. The Junior knows, but knows not that he knows. The Senior knows and knows that he knows ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger WHAT SANTA CLAUS BROUGHT SOME MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY.

A picture you would have me paint, In words which I may choose; Give all the tints of shades and sounds, Of form and life that there surrounds? My scanty sense of perfect tints Will scarce permit or lend me aid, To paint into a concrete whole The scene that now thrills thru my soul. Alone I sit on Sehome's brow As dewey eve draws on, just now, And at one glance, I can, perchance, Take in a picture grand; I now begin my paints to mix, And paint my picture as if fixt. For background, in the distance, then I scatter isles and sky, In haziness they then recede, Unite, grow dim, and die. Beneath these spectral, grayish hues, Which Ocean's mists have formed, I draw a line, tho indistinct, Along the nether side, To bound the bay where water play Thruout the livelong day. Shades manifold, of green and gold, Upon her ruffled surface play. To left there rise into the skies The islands' rough-bound forms; While, at their feet, a silver sheet Of sunlit waters lay, As if the welkin-way had dropt From heaven's dome overhead. To right, the bay's unevan stands Grow plainer, shows her whitened sands, Until the city breaks the views Of Nature's own, grand, gorgeous hues. And plants herself like some proud elf, Within my pictures too. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Plate [b] ---------- A GROUP OF SECOND YEAR STUDENTS ---------- Normal Messenger - 1906 December - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 Serene and quiet, tho never still, As if pushed on by stubborn will, My brush into the foreground plays And shapes the wondrous bay, That mobile form, which e'er transforms At bidding of the wind. Upon her breast there lay at rest A dozen ships or more; Their spars are reft of sails that heft Each one upon the sea, Amd there they nestle close about The guardian anchor, strong and stout. In yonders left, far south of west; The sun in splendor sinks; His powerful light has lost its might And softened into gold— Ah, yes, and gold enriched by red, He sinks midst eve's caress As if to bid a last "good night," The heavens retain the richest light, And sifts it o'er her spacious dome, A signal she is left alone; She lingers, pales, pines and moans, "Alas, Today; good night, my own." And, now, my friend, my picture's done, So take it as its worth; 'Tis worth but naught, real art Is brot forth from The Artist's Hand; That Artist Hand hath shaped mere man, Endowed him somewhat, too, He sees real art, which fills his heart, But ne'er can it express. Thus finite man scans God's whole plan, And strives to imitate, And I surmise, sometime, somehow, He'll greet us in the skies. G. S. ALLISON. SNATCHES FROM SCHOOL LIFE. By First and Second Years.

GLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER JANUARY, 1907 REVERE THE OLD—WELCOME THE NEW. January 1st, in the business world, is a day of stock-taking; the closing of old accounts, the opening of new records; the devising of ways and means for another period of twelve months. In the social, professional, student and private life, as well, it is a day of inspection, retrospection and future making; a day for thoughtful consideration of the many things which enter into human existence and make our lives, collectively and individually, all that they are, have been, and ever will be. It is as it should be, a day of profit-taking from the experience of the year just passed, and of good resolutions for the year just opening, that our lives may be richer in knowledge, contentment and usefulness. Not a day of regrets for what might have been, but rather a day of rejoicing for what shall be, and for the bright hopes which beckon us on to this attainable goal. The old year must not be forgotten in our expression of joy for the new year. It has, perhaps, shadowed our lives with some clouds but it has also brightened them with as much sunshine. If we have been selfish and thoughtless and wrong-headed, let us not blame the old year but promise good old Father Time, who has gathered it to his bosom, that he will have less selfishness, less thoughtlessness and less wrong-headedness to forgive when he closes the portals upon the glad new year. Let us reverence the old while welcoming the new. Farewell 1906. Welcome 1907, and may your coming inspire us " To act well our parts, therein all the honor lies." "What a grand thing it is to have a new year to begin with," saj^s an eloquent writer, "as pure and spotless as the celestial regions and quite as fit for angels as for men and women." Nothing is cleaner than the future, and January 1st is really the door of a possible heaven. The Normal Messenger's greeting to all its readers is a wish that the new year may be one of plenty and happiness to them, and of peace and prosperity to all mankind—a year of paradise on earth. ESSIE L. WARNER. Editor '10. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger OH! BEAUTIFUL BELLINGHAM BAY. I. Oh, beautiful Bellingham Bay! How quiet and silent she lay; A silvery sheet nestling close to the feet Of the mountains, wild and gray. II. Thou make'st me think of the day, Thou wonderful Bellingham Bay, When Nature's own hand shaped thy ev'ry strand In her reckless, careless way. in. She fringed thine own westerly bound With rock-ribbed isles from the Sound, Threw in whitened sands to silver thy strands, And made richer thy nether bound. IV. On thy sun-greeting shore to the east, Lay Bellingham,. far from the least Of cities that boast of a numerous host, And of a homestead by the sea. V. To northward and westward there rise, Cutting deep thru the stretch of the skies, Olympic's proud peaks, dame Nature's strange freaks, Just to greet us, I surmise. VI. Thy southernmost reach stretches far, To ocean thy gates are ajar; The tide ushered in, rushes back once again Thru Deception's dangerous bar. VII. Oh! beautiful Bellingham Bay! Thou art grander day by day; I love thy shores, with richest lores And lose myself in thee. "LOREC ARLOC." SENIORS. At the recent election—you've all heard of it, no doubt; Miss Nora Corbett was chosen class president. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 Now, we find that Miss Myers, who preceded Miss Corbett, is as enthusiastic as before she laid down the staff, and the good work goes on without a pause in the ponderous machinery. Miss MicCullough succeeds herself to the vice-presidency. Miss Wahl was elected secretary— who could imagine it otherwise. Mr. Roger E. Williams relieves Mr. C. D. Jones from the treasury. Now Roger can hold great things, so don't be afraid to roll in your class dues. Of the editor I shall now speak. Could he be kept close home, volumes might run from his pen. But it is difficult to keep Mr. Anslow at the desk. Now if any of these officers-elect falter, the strong and valiant Mr. Copeland, our sargeant at-arms, will come to the rescue. We never did fear the attacks of the Juniors, but now we are doubly secure. MASTERS OR SERVANTS? By JAS. O'SULLIVAN. The policy of our President is generally laudable; but no faithful student of our constitution can view with calmness the scheme, hinted at by Secretary Root, of "interpreting" into that document a gigantic system of centralization at the expense of the powers reserved to the states. This article purports to show that the leading measures in this system of centralization are unconstitutional; that their incorporation into the constitution by judicial interpretation subverts the underlying principle of our political system; that thereby the sovereign people become servants instead of masters of their government, and the whole fabric of constitutional government threatened. To regulate child labor in factories, the government proposes to fine railroads for transporting the products of factories employing child labor. The government claims that it is a necessary power in order to carry out the conferred power of regulating commerce between states. But the fact that the products of a factory may ultimately become the subjects of commercial intercourse between the states does not empower the federal government to regulate labor in such factories. ID ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger Veazie vs. Moor, 14 How. 568, 574, it is well said: "A pretension as far-reaehing as this would extend to contracts between citizen and citizen of the same state, would control the pursuits of the planter, the grazier, the manufacturer, the mechanic, the immense operations of the colliers, the mines and furnaces of the country I for there is not one of these avocations the results of which may not become the subjects of foreign commerce, and be transported, either by turnpikes, canals or railroads, from point to point within the several states, towards an ultimate destination.'' This sweeping proposal bears, at first glance. the semblance of constitutionality; but the attempt to regulate school affairs in San Francisco seems utterly without support in the constitution. The administration relies on the provision that the constitution, federal laws made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the la«id, and therefore that the treaty with Japan is paramount to the law of California. But the government forgets that the treaties it makes must be made "under the authority of the United States" and that the authority of the United States government over school affairs in a state is nowhere found in the constitution. Judge Cor-ley, on page 117 of his Principles of Constitutional Law, says: "The constitution imposes no restrictions upon the (treaty) power but it is subject to the implied restriction that nothing can be done under it which changes the constitution of the country, robs a department of the government or any of the states of its constitutional authority." Now this is exactly what the administration proposes to do. It would change the constitution by making treaties paramount to it and by robbing the State of California of its constitutional right to regulate its school affairs. Nowhere in the constitution has the right to regulate these affairs been conferred upon the federal government, either expressly or by implication, and surely it is well established that whatever powers are not conferred in this constitution upon the federal government are withheld and belong to the seveeral states. These measures are not only unconstitutional, they really constitute amendments of the most sweeping character. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 An attempt to "interpret" them into the constitution violates the most vital principle of our political system, the sovereignty of the people. The constitution expressly provides that all amendments shall be made by two-thirds majority in Congress and a majority in three-fourths of the state legislatures or conventions, as Congress may designate. The people have reserved to themselves the sovereign prerogative of expressing their will in the fundamental law, entrusting to the organs of government the right to express their will only on certain subjects and then in accordance with and subject to the supreme law in the constitution. They contemplated the government to be their servant and not their master. But let the government establish the precedent of freely amending the constitution by so-called judicial interpretation and sovereignty is transferred, as in England and Germany, from the people to the government. The masters become the servants. Even more pernicious is the veiled attack on constitutional government. The constitution seems to be considered as a plaything to be tossed back and forth between supreme courts as often as the executive, by appointment, secures decisions favorable to his policies. Statesmen disregard constitutional checks to carry a point. Even federal judges are denounced for upholding the plain provisions of the constitution. Of late it is intimated that a crisis in affairs has come that justifies the suspension of the salutary amendment clause provided as a wise restraint upon democracy and the incorporation of remedial legislation by stretching the constitution. Of this Judge Cooley says: "No doctrin* involving more pernicious consequences was ever invented by the wit of men—such a doctrine leads directly to anarchy or despotism, but the theory of necessity on which it is based is false for the government within the constitution has all the powers granted to it which are necessary to preserve its existence." ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLI NGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of S.

If you just want a certain thing, Round which your hopes and wishes cling, Why is it you can't have it? If with that thing you'd be content Through all your life, where e'er you went, Why is it you can't have it? The other folks who do not care, If that one thing goes here or there, She (that's the thing) delights in; While you who live for smile or word Try by all means you've ever heard To win one smile or token. Things are like this o'er all the earth, And always were, since Adam's birth Brought man into existence; But every cloud is lined with gold, And that that is, is best, 'tis told; Then why give your resistence. ELIZABETH CHABOT, '10 Class. THESPIAN. The Thespian Dramatic Club is doing good, strong work this year. As its name indicates the Thespian is chiefly interested in the dramas and in some of the best actors. The plan of work is unique and at the same time ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 effective. Scenes from some of the great plays are given each meeting in the auditorium. A group of members are assigned a certain scene and they, with one of the number as director, work out the scene. As it is planned now, scenes from the following plays will be enacted during the term: "She Stoops to Conquer," "Lady of Lyons," "The Falcon," "Julius Caesar," "School for Scandal" and a number of other plays to be selected later. The best performance to be played during the present season at the opera house are given especial attention, and where it is thought best, excerpts are taken from them. The social side is not neglected. The club has had one pleasant visit together and has plans for many more. The organization has been divided into two parts, and these divisions take turns in entertaining. If the force and enthusiasm with which the work has been carried on so far be an indication, the Thespian Society bids fair to lead the other societies in excellence and in enjoyment of work. NORMAL BASKETBALL TEAM. The Normal basketball team, which lost not a victory last year, is again in the field and has already to its credit this year two victories. On January 11 a team of picked players from town lost a game to the Normal, and on the 25th the local Y. M. C. A. went down in defeat with a score of 17 to 27. This last team had taken on to itself many airs and considered themselves "cock of the walk" because they had defeated Seattle and Tacoma. Manager Smith is arranging a number of games with other schools, and is going to give his team a chance to make a record. With Cory and Pethram's steady work as forwards, Goodell's brilliant work from center, and Nichol's and Davenport's playing as guards, the team is surely going to be a winner. A NORMAL EPISODE. The white moonlight lay like a silvery covering on the clear expanse of frozen lake, turning the whole world into a sparkling, glistening fairyland. The whole lake rang with the peals of laughter and merry voices of the skaters, who, dashing here and there, were making the night ring with their happy voices. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger A group of Normal students had come out for a lark, for skating is not common in Western Washington. So when Boreas had come to freeze up the town, while it made people with old hearts complain, the young ones—well, they didn't give a care for bursting water-pipes, swearing owners and smiling plumbers, but went in as hard as they could for all the fun they could, as long as they could. Young teachers were there, and teachers who had turned the old maid's corner, and those who were not teachers at all. But all self-consciousness had been laid aside in that time of supreme delight. And now after they had finished cutting circles, spinning on their heads and thumping the ice for some unknown misdemeanor, the students, old and young, grave and gay, had gathered around the bonfire at the farther end of the lake, and after eating their lunch, amused themselves with song and story. Ghost stories for the timid, and witty stories for the dull, until even the grim, silent forest behind seemed to lend its voice to the universal shouts. "And now, Miss Gray, perhaps you can tell us a story, for wTe hear you are good at it,'' exclaimed one enthusiastic student. "Oh, do, Miss Gray," came in chorus. Now if there was one thing Miss Gray could not do, it was to tell stories, so she laughingly complied with, "Now listen, little children," and after a rousing encore, meekly suggested that the meeting adjourn. So, flinging skates over shoulders, with one Knight of the Brave (Heart leading the way home, they and their clamor departed, leaving the lake to the Fairies and Brownies to shoot the shutes down the various twigs and in the ridges made by the skates or to form a ring around the dying embers and dance the Fairy waltz to the music of the stars. With the last witty retore and the last goodbye spoken in the hall, all the gayety and fun went out of Lucy Gray's heart. For in her own room, with no one to see her, she was face to face with herself again and—what was she going to do about it? All week she had been tormented and confronted on every occasion with this one problem. What was she going to do? "If I give any more of my time to that boy," she soliloquized, "Miss Reid will just murder me. She told me today not to pay any more attention to Johnny. I just love him ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 I don't care if he is rebellious, I would be too. The idea of anyone telling him he is stupid and hasn't any good in him. Why, Kate is stupid herself, but that's just it, I simply can't stand it. If I had to have a critic teacher make a pet of me, I 'd quit. She told me Johnny must be restrained by force; the idea! Well, there'll be something doing if I " Lucy pulled off the last stocking and sent it whizzing straight into her favorite begonia, and hopped into bed, adding after a little reflection, "If I don't help him in spite of them all." Lucy had spent a very unsatisfactory day, and as she was returning from dismissing her class her eye fell on Johnuy Nettleton. "Did you want to see me?" asked Lucy. "If yon please," and his face lighted up. Lucy's heart gave a bump. Johnny had not been so polite in weeks. Lucy sat down beside him and Johnny, after a little fidgeting, asked her to show him how to do a problem. "But, Johnny " "Yes, I know, Miss Gray, but you know Miss Saunders don't explain arithmetic right. She knows a lot, but she shoots right over a fellow's head. You explain grammar so fine I thought maybe you'd " "Of course I'll help you if I can. Where is your book? Interest? Well, I don't wonder you don't understand it. I never did when I was your age. How to find the time when the principal rate and amount are given. How do you fine' the interest for one year? That is right. The base times the rate, of course, you see why. Now your interest for one year is thirty-six dollars, but your given interest you tell me is ninety dollars. Now, if the interest for one year " "Miss Gray!" Lucy sprang to her feet as if electrified. There stood Miss Reid in the doorway calmly surveying her from over her spectacles. "Come to my office when you are through." Mjiss Reid had gone, but it seemed as if her voice had left thirty-two degrees of coldness behind her. (To be continued.) THE PRELIMINARY CONTESTS. With the preliminaries in debate and declamation only three weeks off, there is much interest manifested among those who are to take ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger part. The following have entered into the preliminary declamatory contest: Jessie Bryant, Essie Warner, Clara Tarte, Berth Elda Payne, Ina Long, Laura Jaycox, Laura Horn-buckle, Mrs. Faith Pope, Mr. Copeland. Those entering the preliminary debate are: Misses Ada Pence and Gladys Patric, Messrs. D. H. Smith, R. T. Smith, H. F. Smith, C. B. Miller, Jonathan Turner, Noah Davenport, W. R. Nichols, Andrew AJnderson, B. M. Anslow A. D. Foster, G. S. Allison. MARRIED. On January 16, Miss Cassie Gifford and Mr. Thompson were united in marriage at the Lincoln in Seattle. Miss Gifford is a Normal graduate of the class of 1904, and Mr. Thompson attended the Normal for a time. Their home will be in Everson, Wash., where he owns a drug store. FROM THE CLASSROOM. Miss Hays (apologetically): "I want it distinctly understood that that is not my dog. It seems to be a prevailing idea that every time a dog is seen in the halls it belongs to a member of the faculty." Mr. Stone: "Any one showing himself to be ignorant of the rudiments of English grammar shall not receive credits in German and Latin." Mr. Forrest: "Young teachers, when the milk of human kindness turns to clabber, it is • time to get down and out." Miss Moore: "You have the general knowledge of music all right, but you left out some of the details, therefore I can not pass you." Miss Hays to Mr. Smith: "You will recite for us Mr. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Of course " Mr. Smith: "Really, Miss Hays, I have so much athletic work to do; beside I have to write three or four letters every week to— Mfrss Hays: "Can't you cut it down to once a week?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 11 ---------- * The Normal Messenger 11 Mr. Anderson: ' ' What is to be the subject of your thesis ?" "Why—why, I can't tell yet until I have studied some more Browning." "Ugh," said the professor in room 21, "my room is Stone cold." Miss Sperry (in English method): "Did any of you ever see anyone who reminded you of the 'Great Stone Face?' " Jessie Bryant: '' Yes 'm; Mr. Lull.'' JUST LIKE HIM. Prof. Stone (surprising a noisy bunch in the Messenger office) : What kind of an aggregation is this?" Goodell: " It's an aggregation trying to keep warm.'' Prof. S.: "Well, I'll make it hot for you if you don't mind." WANTED:—A bright young girl between the ages of sixteen and thirty, who will relieve a bachelor student of the monotony of cooking, washing dishes, etc. Inquire of Andrew Anderson. There seems to be a general movement prevailing now to consider every man your brother, regardless of nationality. A Fourth year and a Junior were seen together down town last week. THE NORMAL GIRL. She studied neurology, history and such, Wrote essays on topics galore; Took all of the prizes with a sweep and a rushr And crammed her head full of lore; But when she came home at the close of the term, To visit her mother and pa. She eouldn't wash dishes, or make a crust firm, And that shocked poor father and ma. THE NORMAL BOY. And now the boys with professional pride, Are seeking to assume a professional air, The sides of their faces they're trying to hide Behind a delicate semblance of hair. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 12 ---------- a 12 The Normal Messenger "Side-whiskers" thy term them, "are jolly,,r (These miniature men about town), But the girls only smile at their folly, And are seriously calling them "down." There was a young man from Missouri, And he was a jolly, swell guy; He put all the girls in a flurry, When he sent verses on the sly. SOME NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS. Resolved: I will not be so shy of the girls this year.— Roy G . I will concede that Rossie is right—just once.—Carrie S . I will try and have my name appear in the Messenger oftener.—Jessie B . Flunk and the class flunks with you; Pass and you pass alone. Professor Romine performed the experiment and proved entirely to our satisfaction that "a small amount of external stimuli may produce a great amount of reflex action." At the boys' party given on December 15 it is reported that one of the hosts left a Schuh at home and another took a Payne with him. The Junior class at basketball, Try hard as ever they may, Can't get the sphere across the hall And into the basket's way. There was a prim miss from Seattle, A real Joan d' Arc in a battle; When her friends sought to souse her, They found that to arouse her Was worse than a whole bunch of cattle. THE NORMAL STUDENT. He sought to wield a master's rod, And she a schoolma'am be; But of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: It might have been. He now carries a mortar hod, And a washerwoman only is she. The first year Latin class is rejoicing over ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 January - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 the fact that it had just twenty-two questions in examination. The Junior B's, being so fond of General Methods, have decided that about half their number (16) will take it again. The Annual Faculty Bench show, it is rumored, will occur some time within the near future in room 31. At prsent the cur, " J e t ," is expected to take the blue ribbon. Formula for thin class—Epley: Let X equal whole class; y equal fbankers; z equal conditions; x minus (y plus z) equal thin class. TYPICAL EXAMINATION QUESTIONS. Physics—What would be the result if an irresistible force were to strike an immovable object ?

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER FEBRUARY, 1907 A NORMAL LEGEND. Should you ask me whence this story, Whence this legend and tradition, With its clamor of class spirit, And its frequent repetitions, And its wild reverberations, As of thunder in the mountains, I would answer, I would tell you From the Great Land of the Snow Pearls, From the Bay of Bellingham, Where the Normal, the Great Normal Stands upon the lofty hillside. I repeat it as I heard it From a Junior who was there. He it was who told this story, Told me this pathetic story Of the triumph and the downfall Of the Seniors and the Fourth Years. 2. In those days the evil spirits, All the classes of the Normal, Fearing the great Junior wisdom, And their mighty strength and numbers; Jealous of their might and power And their great class spunk and spirit, Made at length a league against them To molest and destroy them. In this league there were united All the classes of the Normal, All the Freshmen, the great greenies, All the Freshmen with their captain, With their great and mighty captain, He who flirts with all the maidens, All the Seconds Years and Third Years Who were not so fierce or fiery, But who filled up space and volume With their mighty lung expansion. All the Fourth Years, the great Blowers, Who conquered not the green-eyed monster And on every provocation Showered forth their hate and envy, Showered forth their hate and malice On the mighty band of Juniors. Then at last, but no means leastly, Came the flock of crowing Seniors, Came the Seniors full of wisdom, To whom little grace was given To see themselves as others saw them, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger And whose heads were swelled so tightly That they scarce could study nightly. Mighty boasters were these people, Mightiest of all boasters were they, Like a flock of geese they gathered, Cackling out their threats and terrors At the mighty band of Juniors. 3. Patiently watched the Juniors, Listening to these people's boasting, With a smile they sat and listened, Uttered neither word nor menace, Neither word nor look betrayed them. While they listened they were saying In their minds with silence o'er, "Take my bait and wait no more! Thinkest thou this feign of quiet On my part is nothing more Than the lack of proper spirit To fight you, I implore? Well we know our strength and power, Well we know our skill in war, And we are merely waiting For your conceit and your bleating To become so loud and heating That the battle may be fiercer And your downfall yet more greater." 4. Thus the Juniors, wise and wary, Waited for their gentle nibbling With their hooks well sharped and baited, Till a day came when these boasters, Puffed up with conceit and pride, Gathered all their mighty warriors, All their mighty warriors gathered, Crept in silence and in quiet To the classroom of the Juniors, Where a council was in session, A very grave and solemn council, Thinking they need only display Their austere faces in the doorway, And the council would be broken. They were poor mistaken children, Poor mistaken children were they. "Boastful breath is not a bowstring, Taunts are not as sharp as arrows, Deeds are better things than words are, Acting mightier than the boasting." Then began the deadly conflict. Hand to hand among the benches, Fierce and fiercer waged the conflict, Till the earth shook with the tumult, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 The confusion of the battle, And the air was full of cheering And the clapping of the maidens. On they struggled in the conflict, Heeding not their cuts and bruises. Fearing not their bones to sever Or the anger of the teachers, Who stood by in horror helpless, Till at length the valiant Juniors With the strength of gods unnumbered Pitched the Fourth Years and the Seniors Far into the spacious hallway, Far into the hallway pitched them. 5. You shall now hear how the Seniors Prayed and labored in the nighttime, Not for skill in reading Browning, Not for higher grades in teaching. Not in writing plans of lessons Nor in planning farce recitals; But for greater skill in fighting And the advantage of the Juniors. Well they saw in open combat That their triumph was unheard of. So they sat themselves to thinking, Sat themselves to violent thinking Of some means, or plan, or method, Be it good or be it evil, Of some means, or plan, or method, That they might retain their power And the dignity of the Seniors, Till at last a brighter Senior, More original than the rest, Thought himself a plan of compaign That wrould cover all their weakness. " I will write a great big paper Telling of our mighty power, Of our spunk and of our spirit, Of our wisdom and our valor. I will search in every corner, Search in every nook and corner For some joke upon the Juniors, For some means to ridicule them And to make them seem less mighty. I will search and I will labor For these aids and these devices." So he sat himself to labor. Many nights and days he labored, Till at last he had together, All together on his paper These imaginary virtues, Also the slander of the Juniors. On one assembly morning, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger When all the faculty had gathered With the Normal students there For to hear some words of wisdom From someone assembled there, This great Senior, this great boaster, Stood upon the rostrum floor. " I will tell you of our power And our many deeds of wonder." From his pocket drew his paper And began to speak in this wise: "When we blow our breaths about us, When we breathe upon the landscape"— All the teachers stopped to listen, All the students paused in wonder— "When we shake our heads of wisdom All the Juniors flee in terror, Flee in silence and in terror, Flee away to distant classrooms. For we speak, and lo! they are not, And where'er our footsteps wander All the people of the nation, All the classes of the Normal, All the children in the schoolrooms Bow their heads in grace to listen, Bow their heads in meditation." And thus he spoke and thus he sputtered, Many were the words he uttered, This great Senior, this great boaster, Would you listen to his story, Would you only give him credence, No one ever sprang a joke But his class had sprung a greater. No one ever slammed a Junior But. themselves had slammed him harder. No one ever was so witty But themselves were thrice more witty. No one ever showed some spirit But themselves had shown much greater. No one ever told a story But themselves could tell a greater. No one ever was so funny But themselves were much more funny. None could think so fast as they could, None were half so wise as they were, None had done so many wonders As this mighty band of Seniors, As these marvelous story tellers. Thus their name became a by-word And a jest among the people, And whene'er a boastful student Praised his own great work too highly; When a First Year or a Third Year ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 Talked too much of his achievements, All his hearers cried "A Senior! Here's a Senior come among us!" ALMA WHITTIER. TOMORROW. The pages drop one by one; now they seem to fall by twoes and fours. Though their passing is unnoticed, silently they pile up behind us to mark our progress or mockingly deride our careless touch. Structures rise, take form, become the center 'round which pace the busy human throng. These structures came not in a day, they grew not in the night, as did the plant of last summer, or the rosebud that opened at daybreak. They were the accumulation of daily human effort, fashioned after hours of deep thinking, and marvelously they stand before us a living mechanical question. The lives of our classmates, the books we have read, our thoughts from day to day along with the time element—all taken together— were forces of construction; working within us and molding our lives for the onrushing time. A few more excursions across the campus, a few more rushings to the whirring class bells and the story will have reached a new chapter in the Normal book of life. In our lives the chapter may tell of caroling birds, gentle spring showers, the bursting buds, the fragrance of the dewy clover, skies of azure blue interspersed with clouds, fringed and shaded with the varied colorings of the rainbow. It may introduce the trumpet call to battlefield, clashing swords, rattling musketry and the deep, thundering, bursting cannon. In this chapter may come the gentle, peaceful hours of noonday. It may be long, leading through winding vistas, beside foul morasses, where shiny creatures crawl and vultures shriek. But whichever, we will not be alone in it all. The kind words of fellow-classmates may not be heard directing us the way through the perplexities we meet; but we know that around, on every side, thousands who have come from like experiences in life, silently, earnestly, righteously are meeting perhaps the same questions shaped in different shades of color and intensity of meaning. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger Nothing we have done in these classrooms will make our lives stand out with our fellow-man to be remembered long after time's pages are turned. Possibly nothing we can do will so mark our existence here. But the seal is not fixed; the day is yet scarcely begun. If we can accomplish this much, if we can hold our convictions right, our consciences clear regarding truth and honor, our faith in humanity, our trust in the Supreme Ruler of the Universe—if we can hold fast to one of these, we shall not have lived in vain, nor shall the future mock or deride us. B. M. ANSLOW. LANCELOT. Wild through the night the winds are sweeping, A voice of wailing, a sound of weeping; Like fitful tears, the autumn rain Beats on the darkened window-pane, While lowly bends the black elm tree To the turret-casement, as if to see The wavering shapes and shadows tall That the firelight pictures within on the wall. Who lingers here at this cheerless hour? Who sits alone in the desolate tower, While the firelight fades and the gathering gloom Deeper and deeper enfolds the room— Sits and watches the hearth-fire die, Lists to the wild storm hurrying by, To the anguished sobbing of the elm Struggling with blasts that overwhelm, And through the wailing of wind and tree Hears from afar the moaning sea? Come, mark him well; wouldst thou think that he Was once the flower of chivalry— That this wasted form, this silvery hair, This face, from which long years' despair Its ancient nobleness cannot blot— Wouldst thou deem that this was Lancelot? Lancelot, Arthur's friend and peer? Lancelot, lover of Guinevere? What visions are they that move through his brain, Now clouding his face with the shadow of pain, Now casting there a passing gleam Like the fleeting light of the pale moonbeam? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 7 ---------- The Northal Messenger 7 I. He sees a northern battlefield; There the Round Table slowly yield To the countless might of a heathen host. Few are the knights, and hope is lost. But slowly, bravely, down the hill Toward a shallow, brawling rill They hew their path, till the King's red sword Crimsons the waters of the ford. Then across the battle rings a cry— "Lancelot! Lancelot is nigh!" And the knights that were crossing the bloodstained rill Turn at that shout and seek the hill; And lo, the dying, who even then Were fording that River feared of men, Look back from the darkening waves of death And swell the cheer with their last, faint breath— "Lancelot!" And the foe has fled. Then amid the low ranks of the dead Sir Lancelot and King Arthur the Good Swear eternal brotherhood. Ah, Lancelot! Lancelot! Arthur's friend! How shall that compact have its end? n. Then he hears the song of the birds of Spring, The lark and the mavis caroling; The leafy whisper of budding trees, The joyous voice of the southern breeze, As through the young year's gladness they ride— Lancelot, Guinevere, side by side— Guinevere, Arthur's chosen bride. Queen of the beautiful is she, And he the pride of all chivalry; Why does she falter when she speaks? What brings the red blood to her cheeks? What gives his voice a tenderer ring And a deeper thrill, as together they sing An olden song of the days of Spring? "The winter days are over, The storms and clouds are gone; Rise up and seek thy lover, My love, my beauteous one! "On moor and grassy meadow, On hill and mountain gray, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Norma! Messenger The darkness and the shadow Tremble and pass away. "The happy streams are springing Adown the valleys fair, And now the sound of singing Is with us everywhere. "The days of gloom and sadness, The winter days are gone; Now is the time of gladness, And it is Love's alone!" Ah, Lancelot! Love speaks many a tongue, But the truest words of love are sung. III. Then the long, long days at Camelot, When they loved, and as yet men knew it not; The stately pleasures of the court, The dance, the hunt, the tourney's sport; The passing smile, the whispered word, The meetings, where none saw or heard; And, sharper to them than a serpent's sting, The trustful smile of the blameless king. Then that last, fatal winter night— Their love betrayed, the hurried flight, The ride together through the mist To the parted roads, where they mutely kissed, Then through the darkness and the sleet Went their own ways—that should never meet. IV. Long, long ago—how long he cannot tell. He only knows that years have come and gone, And yonder in the cypress-shadowed dell They sleep together in their house of stone, Arthur and Guinevere, his king, his queen; He knows that he for many a year has come To that still shrine within the forest green And wept and prayed beside the marble tpmb; And now he knows that in the better life Her love of Lancelot must wane and cease. That Arthur knows her now for his true wife. And in the heart of Lancelot there is peace. The storm has passed, and rain and wind are still, From breaking clouds the fair, white moonlight falls, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 A glimmering mist comes creeping up the hill, And silvery sparkles gem the turret-walls. The skies shine down with multitudinous lights, And earth is hushed as yonder heavens be. Save that beneath the thunder-beaten heights Throbs, like a mighty heart, the sleepless sea. E. N. STONE, 1898. FIRST ANNUAL CONVENTION OP NORMAL SPINSTERS. On the evening of February 8, in Assembly Hall, was held one of the most successful class entertainments of the year. Spurred on by the double impetus of remorse for inaction and a yearning to express openly their sentiments upon the slowness of the Normal boys, the older Junior girls, assisted by Mr. Ray Smith, as Dr. Makeover and Mr. Stinson, as Sam, the Flunkie, met in the solemn conclave of the " Young (?) Ladies' Single Blessedness Debating Society." Dressed in the proverbial styles of bygone days, the score of "old maids" came down the aisle in their usually orderly way and opened their meeting by congratulations and re-adjustments of costumes. After the meeting was called to order by the sedate Miss Shircliffe, and the business part concluded, a program, consisting of songs, poems, orations, resolutions, and a thoroughly renovating process, was given. Mr. Romine, our estimable member of Bug-ology Fraternity, seemed to be the center of discussion throughout the evening, and from all reports he seems to be invincible to the fiery darts of Cupid and the winning smiles of the Junior girls. Messrs. Herman Smith, Roy Goodell and Roger Williams seem to be the only willing and available boys; consequently since the convention they have been greatly harassed. Among the most striking old maids were: Misses Shea, Bryant, Hedger, Eaton, Walker and Thompson. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger BASKETBALL. Seattle Y. M. C. A. vs. Normal Boys. For the first time in two seasons the Normal basketball team has lost a game. It was played with Seattle Y. M. C. A. in the Normal gym, score 14 to 42. A goodly crowd of rooters filled the house, but much to their disappointment, the boys could not run up the score. The Seattle lineup averaged over six feet, and, in the language of a spectator, "They were too tall for us." They won out by keeping the ball high in the air and caging the ball at every pass for the goal. The Normal team had as many shots for baskets, but rarely succeeded in scoring. The game was interesting throughout and Seattle earned all they made. A group of rooters from the local Y. M. C. A. and the High School added some zest to the game by "whooping it up" for Seattle. The Senior-Junior Game. Had an outsider gone into the gym the Friday evening after vacation he would have been astounded at the noise and confusion. The Juniors had borne the taunts and slams of the other classes, especially the Seniors, and on this night had resolved to '' get even.'' They had already lost two games and the loss of this one meant so much. It would disbar them from the contest for the Kline cup. Consequently, rather reluctant to begin the game, they came upon the floor, while confident of their impending victory the Seniors faced them. Soon this feeling of unsteadiness wore off, for the Juniors seemed to be gaining. The Seniors realized it all, and though their forwards were quick and alert the Junior guards blocked every throw. The Junior center seemed to be at all parts of the field at once. The Senior guards kept to their duty splendidly, but could not prevent their opponents from making several goals. Excitement ran high, for the teams were evenly matched and at no part of the game was one more than two points ahead of the other. At the end of the second half the Juniors were found to be winners by but one point. It was all that was needed, and the Juniors ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger J1 went wild. They were so rejoiced over their Victory, little though it was, that they did not even try to control themselves. One of the faculty afterwards remarked: "What was the matter with the Juniors?" and to an onlooker it certainly did look like an Indian pow-wow. The prospects of the team are very good at present. If arrangements can be made a game will be played with the High School in the near future. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENGER Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press of S.

As the second semester is swiftly passing we notice that the student body is more and more taxed for time; that class functions become rarer; and that everyone seems to be rushing as if her life depended upon that day's attainment. Why is the condition so? Is it because the studious habits are becoming more intense or the work becomes harder? It is sometimes remarked by students that the teacher expects too much from them. Is it probable that teachers sometimes forget that upon the shoulders of the young grow not the heads of sages? If it is true that they forget, then the student is not mature enough for Normal training, and hence she overtaxes herself ; if it is not true, then the student either has too much work assigned, or she does not properly utilize her time. Whatever may be the cause, it is evident that the work becomes less pleasant than it should. It seems to the writer that we fail to make it as pleasant as it should be because we do not use system in our school work. How many of us spend our day in the schoolroom, then rush home to study; then a few minutes to eat dinner; then back to study until our heads become weary and we fall asleep. Thus day after day, we sleep, study and eat. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Some one has said, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." It seems that our power of concentration would become greater if we gave a just portion of our time to meeting our fellow-students. The men and women who today are the real factors in the world's advancement are those who, amidst the busy hours of each day, find time for intercourse with others. We, as prospective teachers, owe a portion of our time each day to the development of our social life, and this cannot be accomplished by continually poring over our books. Do not think that we disparage the value of close study. We realize that most of us are here to get every bit of knowledge we can and that the time is short, but there is too strong a tendency to let our social, physical and spiritual life give way to the intellectual side. As the days are lengthening, then, let us loosen our minds from the study just for an hour. Take a walk, laugh awhile, breathe deeply, visit our neighbor, climb Sehome to watch the sunset (one of the most inspiring scenes in Nature's art gallery), then go to our rooms prepared to study and we shall find that we shall be less rushed, and consequently happier. Our next issue will be an art number, and any one who has a contribution to make, whether in drawing, painting or poetry, will please hand that work to their class editor by March 20. Several drawings are already in. Let us make this issue a banner number. CALENDAR FOR FEBRUARY. 1. Groundhog sees his shadow. 2. Seniors begin thesis work(?) upon Browning. 3.

The Junior class met for their regular semiannual election of officers and chose as class representatives Marie Nettleton as President; Louise Walker, Vice-President; Edna Audett. Treasurer; Inez Wynn, Secretary; Sergeant-at- Arms, Ray Smith; Lula Shircliffe, Basketball Manager. LITERARY. Owing to the already large, yet increasing, number of students in the Junior class, it was decided, at an early date, to organize a new literary society in the school composed of Juniors alone. To that end an enthusiastic meeting was held early in December, at which a constitution was adopted, and the society placed on a firm basis. The organization became known as the Tyee Society, and it has surely proved that among its members there are many talented students. Beth Shoemaker is President and Eva McDonald is Secretary. JUNIOR SOCIETY NOTES. A serenade of the most touching character was sung by a crowd of Juniors one evening in front of Miss Sperry's home, after which. Miss Sperry joining them, they surprised Mr. and Mrs. Lull by a call. They were heartily welcomed by both and spent a delightful evening. The evening's entertainment took an original form, each one performing some stunt for the amusement of the others; all being done in as quiet a manner as possible lest they ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger should waken the baby.

I see a man. Do you see a man? His name is Herbert. I see a woman. Do you see a woman? Her name is Faith. What is the man doing? He is hanging up a stocking. Faith is putting up little Christmas verses near the stocking. Lots of little people are watching them. 9:15 a. m. See those two great big men? They don't like that stocking and so are going to take it down. What are those little people trying to do? They are trying to keep those big men from getting that stocking. No'use, little people, you needn't even call the teachers, for the big men have the stocking now and are going away. THE PRELIMINARY CONTEST. The preliminary debate held February 18 was a credit to all the students who participated. While the unsuccessful candidates showed inadequate preparation in delivery, their closely knit, logical arguments proved that they had given careful study and thought to their subjects. Preparedness in delivery as well as in thought undoubtedly led to the selection of the Misses Pence, McDonald and Patrick and Mr. Allison as the contestants for the final debate in May. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page [viii] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS THE FAIR Under New rianagement With New Style Goods The Best of Everything at the Lowest Prices WE INVITE YOUR COMPARISON Men's Clothing I Ladies' Ready-to Wear Goods | Millinery | | Dry Goods J Notions I Fancy Goods § Shoes p Dress Goods Queensware Hardware Groceries, etc. fl THE FAIR jiMplpfiiHjgGg|nHMigiBm^ ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 February - Page [ix] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS Designers and Manufacturers Our desingers are men of much experience.

As he ascends slowly To the portals of his camp, He bathes all earth and heaven In the splendor of his lamp. The bay, so calm and quiet, In the peace of heaven's smile, Reflects this magic beauty To the shores of Lunimi Isle. Across the wide land, trembling, From east unto the west, Are rays of golden splendor- Violet hues and amythest. Beyond, the Selkirk mountains Enthroned in Chrystal snow, Are rejoicing in the evening Of Apollo's mystic glow. These Western Alpine Glories, In softened beauty stand Like gleams of the tinted silver, That borders Fairyland. Mount Baker, nature's sentinel, Who all the day has stood Viewing with proud, cold visage, This beautious sisterhood. Reveals a brow, rose-tinted Through the rays of mellow light, A face t h a t ' s smiling, tender With warmth and beauty bright. 0 tell us, lofty mountain From your throne, so near the skies, Whence comes this flood of beauty, Fair nature's wondrous dyes. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger Is it the sun refracting A million rays of light, Or is it, revealed in nature, The Soul of the Infinite? ALMIA WHITTIBR. /toiin^'Ip ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger IT EVENING THOUGHTS SILENCE Thou harbinger of mind's strange t h i n g s - Dreams, fancies—all that thou dost bring, To thee, I dedicate, I consecrate today's Last waking moments, tonight's first vigil's praise, This present now, which Time has lent, To me, I give to thee, thou creature sent To tell me to stop and think—to be discreet, Yea, be discreet,—and so I think, then sleep. EVENING Silently Night gathers about her those robes of sombre hues, Place upon her head a crown of diadems, the myriad stars, Advances in the wake of day, sprinkling the earth with dew, And stooping to hush the birds and flowers to peaceful dreams, She whispers, "be still, sleep now, to thee sweet dreams." She beckons me my work to cease, my cares release, To linger just a while, to stop and think, then close my eyes, While she sings lullabies, to soothe me off to sleep; And thus, I too, with flowers and birds, obey her sweet commands, And soon I wander off into the realms of slumberland. GOODNIGHT Before I close my eyes in sleep And enter dreamland's realm, I'll think of Him who guides my ship, The Captain at the helm. I'll lift to Him a prayer of thanks For blessing me today, And ask of Him an angel guard ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 8 ---------- 8 The tformal Messenger To hover 'round my bed, To keep me thru the hours of night And soothe my restless head; Then, my eyes I'll close in slumbers light While angels guard me through the night.

MARCH, 1907 No. 6 EDITORIAL The staff wishes to thank the students for their hearty cooperation in contributing so freely to the pages of the present issue. The artistic talent of many of the sudents is quite remarkable and we are pleased to show their work thru the columns of our paper. We regret that more work could not be used, but the financial conditions of Messenger would not permit of having more cuts made. The student body are very fortunate in having the privilege of seeing reproductions of about 200 of the world's famous paintings at the Normal from April 8 to 12, inclusive. This collection is being sent to the higher in-stutions of learning thruout the United States, with the view of creating a familiarity with and a love for the great works of art. The society hall and Y. M. C. A. rooms will be used for the display. The admission will be only 10 cents and every student should avail herself of the opportunity. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger THE STUDENT'S SOLILOQUY ACT II. SCKNK VII. To flunk, or not to flunk: That's the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The stings and sorrows of the F's and C's, Or to take up a pony against the C of And by persistent cunning to end them ? To flunk: to be conditioned: To pass not; and with that steed to say we gain The A's and B's and a thousand unnatural grades That pets are heir to, 'tis a constipation Devotedly to be wished. To pass! a B! ! An A! ! ! Only a dream: aye! there's the rub, For in that epistle to pa what grades we put Then we weekly shuffle off a copious abundance of heated atmosphere Determines our check: There's the respect That makes calamity of boarding house life; For who would bear the stings and bites of a "cimex electalarius," The greasy bacon, and the hair in the sorghum, The pangs of calamity biscuits, and fricaseed hash on toast, The strenuosity of the coffee, and the burns That the patient trouser-presseer when " busted " takes, While he himself might all his trouble save With a bare two-bits ? Instead, he lives in a barrrel, To grunt and sweat under a celluloid collar, But the dread of a disastrous conflagration therefrom, And the speedy (?) approach of the Belling-ham Fire Department, And the eminently probable ensingement Of his whiskers, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear the slams and roasts, Than live on eggs whose time we know not of. Thus Caesar doth make martyrs of us all; And thus between the lines of this book there ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 33 Is scribbled o'er with the pale cast of thot, And examinations of great length and solidity With this, retard their currents, turn aside And lose the name of. action. Soft you now! The fair stone! Beloved quadruped, in thy neighings Be all thy tones modulated. (By one who has been there.) ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger IN TIME TO COME When Stone's last papers are graded, And his red ink bottle all dried, When his red chalk's all of it faded, And his latest victim has died, We shall rest; and in faith we shall need it— Quit cramming an alon or two, Till the dread of us poor Normal students Shall call us to quizzlcs anew. And those who were cindered will be happy; They sit in the same old chairs, And write on the same old questions, And not even the worst one despairs: They shall have no grades to work for: No tests where you make ninety-five, Or you flunk out the next quarter, And wonder you'r still alive. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 And not even Stone can sinch them ; And not even Stone can blame— And none shall "remove a condition," And no one shall work for fame: But each for the joy of working, For each, in the easiest way, Shall make all the mistakes that he wants to, And Stone shall have nothing to say. —With due apologies to Kipling. The following is an unique excuse sent to Miss Gray by a mother: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN On the last day of January, 1907, Some boys were playing in Normal frog heaven, Into the slush our Truman did do Getting one side wet from hip to toe. "Go home and get dry," said Miss Nellie Gray. With lunch pail and cap he scurried away; And arriving home about the hour of two, Hustled into dry trousers and stockings new. That night he exclaimed on going to bed— "I must have an excuse; so Miss Gray said," Well, here it is teacher, but, why it must be When you sent him home, I really can't see. C. B. F. Bay View, Jan. 31, 1907. THE NORMAL TRAITORS In every army there's a traitor And sometimes two or three, So I warn you to be careful For just a few have we. They're in the army of rooters For every basket ball game And they always yell for the opposite side With all their might and main. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 March - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messengei They're glad to see our boys beaten By foul means or by fair, It doesn't make much difference So long as they can jeer. I suppose that their lungs need exercise, Is the reason they yell so loud, But if they only knew it, They are thought less of by the crowd. They don't need to be labeled, You all know who they are. Something may wake them up some time But it will take an awful jar.

The girls' basket-ball schedule, though rather long, was finished in good season this year, in contrast to the long drawn-out affair of last year. Ibis was done by playing some of the games Friday afternoons, no admission being charged to these games. I t has b°en suggested that more interest would be shown if the schedule was shortened. As it stands now the preliminary games do not draw the crowds that they should. The Fourth Year team, which is the pennant winner this year, undoubtedly won by team work. Every girl on the team is a good player, though none could lay claims to being stars, and there was evidence in every game which they played of the utmost harmony among- the players by imitating which some other teams would profit.

Who made VanCuren mourn And wonder, "Where's my ball.' Here's to our little center, Brave Margaret, jumping high, Whene'er a ball came near her She caught it on the fly. Here's to Dolly Jennings Who has our love and praise, She calmly made her innings While Ruby stood and gazed. Here's to little Tartie, Who didn't do so bad, For she made the valiant Arke Feel most awfully sad. ••A So we drink to all the Fourth Years, We drink their glory up, And we DEANK again most deeply From out that Silver Cup.

In an institution of this kind where students remain only a year or two at a time, they are prone to lose themselves in their studies and give as little time as possible to athletic sports. Such has been the record during the past year. It is true that the basket-ball season had its share of games, but the spring out-of-door sports have been lacking. Why? For several reasons. The constant demands upon the time of the students does not give them the opportunity. It is a rush from morning till night. Whether this is due to the spirit of the times or constant pressure from the teachers' is a question which only the student himself can answer. Another reason and one which I believe to be more potent, is due to lack of interest on the part of the faculty. There seems to be every reason in the world why they should be interested. Every institution of prominence, and we include this one among the number, has its athletic field, tennis and handball courts. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Plate [b] ---------- JUNIOR TEAM FROM LtFT TO RI8MT-LULU SHIRCLIFFt, SRACt WlLLtY, VIOLA VAN CUREN. ( C A P T A I N ) , ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 The reasons for such are quite obvious. The drain upon the vitality when studying is replaced by the strength gained from exercise upon the track or court. With a small amount of expenditure several tennis courts could be made, a baseball diamond cleared, and as a consequence we believe that the school-room results would be better. It is not the intention of the writer to be dic-tatory, but observation, we believe, justifies our position. It is hoped that before long our school shall add to its environment as the means whereby the student shall have plenty of pleasant and healthful sports. A DIVINE TRAGEDY. The early morning sunlight was slowly creeping through the wide windows of the biology laboratory, trying to dispel the gloom which pervaded every corner of the room, and, in fact, the whole building, for it was the end of the quarter when the students wore upon their faces the expression of a tumult that raged within. Some of them could be heard to utter dire vengeance upon the heads of their unfortunate instructors, who were so unappreciative of their intellectual capacity and so devoid of the sourtesies of polite life as to fail to give them a passing mark, while other more self-conscious Mies were heard to give expression to some such thought as this: "Tell me not in idle numbers Normal life's a happy dream, For the girl will flunk that slumbers And the Profs are not what they seem." To return to the biology laboratory. There ivas seated in one corner of the room alone, lejected youth. He seemed to be the center of ill the gloom of the Normal school. Very strikingly, indeed, was this settled melancholy n contrast with the usual sunny smiles of Rob Wilson, for Eob's happy disposition had nade him a favorite in the school, especially imong the girls. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger Was he brooding over a failure? Ah, no, a failure was never known to affect Rob so deeply. Was it a secret conspiring against the Juniors (Rob was a Fourth Year). We think not, for the Fourth Years had long since learned the wisdom of diplomacy. The gloomy silence was broken by the voice of Fred Ross (a tall slender youth, also a Fourth Year). "Hello, old man, what's up; flunked in anything?" The groan which followed this remark only fanned the flame of Fred's curiosity. "Say; you sick?" This time he was answered by a grunt of contempt, accompanied by a look of mingled pity and despair (despair for himself and pity for his friend's lack of intuition). Suddenly there flashed over Fred's face a look of understanding and sympathy. Whether it came from some past experience in his life, I know not, but he remarked with some concern in his voice: "Got the mitten, Hey?" "Thunder and lightning! Tom fool! Blundering idiot!" came in spasmodic screams from Rob. " I haven't flunked! I haven't got the mitten ! I'm not sick! I'm dead broke, that's what I am." The look of relief which overspread Fred's countenance did not re-establish Rob's confidence in the brotherhood of man; much less his next remark. "O, better than the meat pie feast, O, better for to be The man who neither owes a debt, Or spends his money free." Fred was given to an untimely quoting of morals and scripture. Fortunate, indeed, for him that there burst through the door a half dozen frantic Junior girls, and Rob's attention was directed into-other channels. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 The girls had just handed in their final examination papers, in biology. "Do you suppose we'll ever get through?" said Martha, despairingly. "Let's hope so," replied Minnie Anderson. "Say, could you give examples of all the proofs of evolution?" asked Ida Crooks. "I couldn 't think of any proof by artificial breathing, except the Fourth Years." "Artificial breathing!" came in exclamation from all the girls. "You mean artificial breeding, don't you?" When the laugh subsided Ida had fled. Alas, she had failed to follow up the lecture with a perusal of the text. The mistake was due either to Ida's deficient hearing or the instructor's articulation (most likely the latter). "What did she mean by saying the Fourth Years are a proof by artificial breathing," inquired Gertrude, the English girl. "Well, you see," began Lulu Shircliff, in the tone of a professor, "We have in our midst a very evident proof of evolution by artificial breathing. By this method the Fourth Years have passed through three cycles of their evolution and are now rapidly evolving, by this artificial breathing, generation of hot air, etc., through the fourth cycle into the family of higher animals, known as advanced students, Species, Juniors and Seniors. This evolution has been increased and intensified by playing basket-ball, and especially by winning the Cline cup from the Juniors." '' Hold on, Jess; where are you going ?'' cried Grace Hedger, as Jessie Bryant jumped over the table in her haste to reach the door, knocking over a bottle of nitric acid and a jar of paromecium. " I 'm going to tell the engineer to utilize some of this artificial breathing, hot air, etc., in heating the building." There is no predicting what marvelous improvements might have resulted in our heating plant if Jessie had not been caught by the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger Language Professor and sent home for disturbing the hall. "By George, those Junior girls aren't so slow," remarked Fred as they passed up to assembly. "Well, I guess not," replied Rob. "Sometimes even I cannot keep even with them." We can pardon Fred's somewhat tardy perception when we realize how his attentions had been monopolized by the winning grace of a fair-haired Fourth Year maid. All day Rob chilled the atmosphere of the school room with his desperate countenance and struck terror to the hearts of the girls when he returned their merry smiles with a stony stare. "What could be the matter with Rob?" How little did they realize that Rob's board bill had not been paid for two months and his room rent for twice that long! How little did they dream that unless a rainbow dropped a pot of gold, or Mida's golden truck was given him, Rob's songs and laughter would no longer be heard on Normal hill. Alas, Rob had little faith in miracles; much less in his prospects of living without eating or sleeping, especially the former, for his appetite had occasioned some comment at the dining hall. As to how Rob became broke I do not know. Perhaps he was not sufficiently economical; perhaps his guardian was a stingy old aunt (a retired Normal student), or, perhaps, he had no guardian and was working his own way up the stony path of knowledge. I only know that he was short of cash and very despondent at the thought of leaving school and the girls. That evening Rob was seen walking down Happy Valley. He seemed lost in thought. To a distant observer he might have been steeping his soul in the beauty of the sunset, in the wonderful, ever-changing glory of the sky and landscape. But to a more careful observer it was evident that his communion was not with Nature. I doubt that he was conscious of her ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Plate [c] ---------- SENIOR TEAM . .. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT-(uPPER ROw), ADA MYERS, ALICE MC-CUL.

He did, however, speak a various language, which sounded something like this: " I am busted; yes, I'm busted! Ebbs the jingling pennies fast And the dark Plutonic shadows The landlady's face overcast. Ah, no more across the campus Shall my voice exulting swell. Louise, Lulu, Grace and Jennie, Jessie Bryant, Dorm, farewell." Suddenly he stopped with his eye riveted on the walk in front of him, for there, as sure as Romine's Jokes, lay a pocketbook. He picked it up, opened it and, Lo, there lay revealed a roll of bills—three hundred dollars. For some moments Rob struggled with a problem of ethics, but as he turned away with the bills in his pocket he quoted: "Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth." I doubt if a minister would have considered his interpretation of the scripture altogether Theological. At dinner the girls were delighted to see Rob's smiles return and the matron's face wore an apologetic smile as he handed her his delinquent board bill. The next morning, in assembly, Doctor Mathes read an announcement like this: "Lost—Near the Normal school, a pocketbook containing three hundred dollars in bills. Finder return to John Simpson, room 31, Sunset block, and receive $50 reward." Fred was troubled to see the desperate look return to his friend's countenance and wondered to whom he referred in his mutterings about fools and blockheads. From former experience he deemed it wise not to inquire. As Rob passed out of the door at noon with a determined look in his eye, he read upon the bulletin board these importune lines: " I t ' s a sin to steal a pin. " I t ' s a greater to steal a tater. " I t ' s a whopper to steal a copper." Where was the adjective expressive of the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 April - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger sin it was to steal all the pennies contained in $300? Webster did not contain one. When Fred returned to his room in the afternoon he passed Rob's door and walked in. The room was strewn with a litter that spoke of a hasty departure. Upon the stand were these lines written in Rob's familiar scroll: "There's a land that is warmer than this, In my dreams I can see it afar, And if I don't soon mend my way I'll go to my dwelling place there." Fred pondered over the note for some time, but could not solve the unsolvable. He decided that Rob's mind must have been the receptacle of too much moonshine and that he had better not speak of the note. Rob's departure was the subject of conversation for some time, and as a great question cannot be settled until it is settled right, it was never settled. No one ever dreamed of connecting it with an anonymous letter received by Mr. Simpson a few months later, as follows: "Enclosed find $300 due your account." The man was a real estate agent and did not question the source of the money, nor the psychological erudition that brought these lines into his mind: "So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers, Lo, thou must, The youth replies, ' I can.'

The custom of taking an annual vacation is apparently growing among the American people. This we believe is a wise tendency, but in order to get the best results from a vacation our plans must be carefully made. It is commonly said that rest may be secured by a change of occupation as well as by a relaxation from labor. If this principle is true, the student finds himself in a most fortunate position, for after the close application of a long school year he feels the need of physical exercise and out-door employment, and at the same time feels the necessity of earning funds for the coming year. It is our suggestion therefore that every student who can possibly do so, find some occupation for the summer than open air. If it is necessary to work for wages, do not hesitate to accept honorable employment in the forest, field or garden. If you are able to spend the summer "resting," then plan with friends for some trip into the mountains. Place the few necessary articles into a pack, then throw that pack over your shoulder and start on foot with your party for a tramp of forty or fifty miles up some steep mountain trail. Take plenty of time for the journey, sleep out of doors every night, live on a plain, simple diet, enjoy the beauties of the scenery as you pass along, and your annual outing will be almost ideal. You will get the exercise, pure mountain air, change of scene with little expense, all of which go far to make an ideal outing for all classes of people. E. T.

Instead of the class strife, clamor, and laughter which rang through the building at the beginning of the year, we now find peace and quiet. Why this sudden change? The saddest time of our school year is approaching— the time when we shall part from friends and classmates and seek our separate ways of life. Let us not be down-hearted, but rather cheer and help those who are about to leave school and cross the threshold of life. To the Seniors, as they gaze into the future, are visible only success and fame, and eager to conquer all they forget those they are leaving behind. But we shall miss the class of '07 more than we now can tell. It is this class that has commanded obedience for two years. It is this class that has been the guardian of our schools, watching over all and directing each in the right way. And we feel that as it steps out into the world to assume the duties of life, it will still be a guardian and director. So farewell, noble Seniors, one and all; win success and fame, and remember there is a class behind that silent watch of all thy works will keep and will give thee heartfelt applause. LULU SHIRCLIFFE, '08. LIFE'S WEB. Mysterious, but simple still, is life unfolding web; Each day we see the silken strands we weave. But silken-like, they float away at eventide, And ere the morning's gold drives back the duller gray The strand is lost, to give another play. We little think, from day to day, we spin aught else but strands, Until, some moment unaware, we catch a glimpse of life. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 (As when, into the fountain's pool one looks into its deeps, And sees, far through the crystal depths, the pebbles' rounded forms), And see a web, the strands of which are former acts transformed. Since life is ever weaving thread by thread, Into a unity, translucent yet for aye, It matters much, since this frail form spans time, Fixt twixt heaven, the limit, and earth the variable sort What enters it, to make more beautous or distort. Therefore, take each golden moment as though it were the last, And fit in it, as in the ring the jeweler fits the .sparkling gem, The richest thought or act thy life's storehouse then holds, And when before thy Creator thy life's web's brought to light, 'Twill sparkle in radiant beauty in His own precious light.

What a kind, patient, self-denying matron you have been. Normal! What fond memories shall ever linger round you even when far distance separate us! Golden sunset skies mirrored from silvered waters of old Pacific foretell your glorious morrow. Six classes have gone from your walls before the Seniors of 1907. Their graces lighten home and hamlet far and near. Their careful service has paved a way to immediate usefulness for those who enter their profession from Bellingham Normal. The seventh class, the Senior class of 1907, has marked distinction. We may say it is representative of more than average citizens of the State of Washington, since its aims are higher than pure financial aggrandizement. Personality is strongly assertive. The individual members have worked strenuously and few who entered with intention to graduate in June have met despair. The quiet- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ness of the class has caused some to wonder who are the "naughty sevens," as little has been accomplished for outward effect. "At seventeen years many their fortunes seek." While little may be left within these halls to mark it being here the members of this class will fill prominent and important places in school work throughout Washington. The class of '07 has yet to reach the prime of life. This has been true of its predecessors. This fact with characteristics previously mentioned will enable the institution to witness more lasting and wholesome results in future years from this class than the past year altogether indicates. "From seventeen years till now, here lived I, but now live I here no more." In all the vigor of youth, with the brightness of prosperity around it, full of hope and gladness, this class goes into its field. It holds no sad reflections; it cherishes only joyous, happy thoughts of Bellingham Normal, its Alma Mater. B. M. ANSLOW. SENIOR FAREWELL. We have a class that soon will go Into the world their work to do, And whether abroad or here at home, Our wishes follow where'er they roam. The Senior class respect has won, Each duty has been nobly done. Ideals high and steady aim, They soon will win an honored name. We'll miss them in our work each day, We '11 miss them in our circle gay; But from the cup we drink their joy, Success be theirs without alloy. We would not bid the class farewell, In spirit we are with them still. We'll bid them God speed as they start, Extend a wish from every heart. TYRA THOMPSON. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 Y. W. C. A. The Influence of the Young Women's Christian Association in a College Girl's Life. The plaee and power of the Young Women's Christian Association in college life have gained increasing recognition. Girls attending school usually have an ideal in mind toward which they are working. This ideal, in the main, is a woman, well developed, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. The school curriculum takes care of the mental and physical powers, while the social activities are carefully encouraged. The spiritual side of life is practically neglected except in so far as the Christian Association supplies the need. Every girl in her college work finds her religious faith in danger of being undermined by the new theories, scientific and otherwise, that are thrust upon her. It is here that the influence of the Young Women's Christian Association is most largely felt. It attempts to guide, help, and strengthen the Christian faith of the girls. Each weekly devotional meeting, each Bible class has its part in strengthening and deepening the religious life. The Association also promotes the social life of the school. It is here that girls from all classes meet in Christian fellowship. Some of the closest friendships are formed as a result of this fellowship and common interest felt by members of the Association. The very existence of the Association indicates a sense of responsibility on the part of the students themselves, for the moral tone and religious life of the school. Aside from the individual good it accomplishes this co-operation for the furtherance of the high ideals for the institution is of lasting benefit to many. One of these ideals that has a lasting influence on individual lives as well as in the general atmosphere of the school is the spirit of CHARITY versus the spirit of CRITICISM that does much to sweeten the relations of student with faculty, and student with student. The Young Woman's Christian Association ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger offers a peculiar opportunity to those who graduate from the institution, for those who go out into the world may still remain in the Association. A lively interest in this worldwide progressive organization will help to keep the young teacher from showing the "earmarks of her profession." She need not feel that all her college ties are broken. To summarize in a sentence, I would say that the Young Woman's Christian Association is a large factor in that ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT necessary to an ideal woman's life, be she teacher or follower of some other occupation.

We, the Senior class of the township '07, in the county of Normal, in the state of Wisdom, do make and publish, this our last will and testament, in manner and form following, that is to say: '01. It is our will that our funeral be conducted without pomp, unnecessary parade, and ostentation (out of consideration of our good taste), and that the expenses thereof, and all our just debts be fully paid from the overflowing (?) coffers of that generous body, the JUNIORS. '02. We give, devise, and bequeath to our most creditable and apt pupils, the FOURTH YEARS, our much desired seats in Assembly, and the Editorship of the "Messenger," so efficiently and capably filled by one of our worthy members. We likewise bequeath to them the right of entering the state of Wisdom, as Seniors '08, that they may be spared the ignominy of crossing JUNIOR bridge. '03. We give, devise, and bequeath to our little sisters and brothers, the JUNIORS, that title to all of our possessions and property, the plantation, known as Seniordom, situated in the aforesaid township, during the rest of their natural life at the Normal, several sessions of summer school included, and all ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Plate [g] ---------- FACULTY BELLINCHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 May - Page 11 ---------- 11 The Normal Messenger "dead stock," alligators, seals, paramoecia, mummies, etc., found under the rafters, and under the special guardianship of Prof. R.; also all the valuable furniture contained in Senior parlor, not particularly and otherwise disposed of, our much worn Sociology text, and our much more worn-out teacher; our remaining supply of soothing ointment, "Power thro' Repose," to be applied at all times when friction arises between the easily flus-trated and excitable JUNIORS, and their cool classmates; and last, but not least, a copy of our letters of application for schools, to serve as models, and to insure success.

DEPARTMENT. (By Inez Wynn, A. P Foster.) \ THE NATIVES OF THE CONGO FREE STATE. Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, gave an excellent lecture on the subject above mentioned at the Normal Auditorium, on the evening of October 18. After telling us how we could best get to the Congo river, he began to describe this wonderful river. At the distance of one hundred and five miles from shore line the fresh water of the Congo, which is of a brownish color, can be distinguished from the salt water. Metallia is the first town of importance on the way up the river, but Leopoldville, a town reached by rail, in order to avoid the cataracts and falls of the river, is of most importance. Above Leopoldville the river is navigable for ten thousand miles. A three-minute walk from this town will take us to a small native village. The houses are built of poles and are covered with mats or leaves. These houses are so built that they may be taken apart and carried to some new site and there set up again. The lecturer had a very realistic interpretation of this custom. On arriving at the spot where a village had once been with camera and photographer he was surprised to find that the village had literally taken legs and walked off. When a native dies it is the custom of these people to bury him in the ground beneath his own house, place the trinkets and eatables beside the grave and fasten up the piece of matting which serves as a door. As a manager of a plantation Professor Starr had an excellent opportunity to study these people. He states that they are a harmless people and that there is but one thing to fear in that country, and that is a crocodile. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger These people work for the small stipend of about six cents per week, which is paid in rations and salt and an additional monthly wage of a bolt of cloth, which is valued at about one dollar and five cents. This wage, says Professor Starr, is scarcely earned as they are a very indolent people. The only reason that a young man wishes to work is that he may be able to buy a wife. After he has a wife he may rest while his wife provides for the family. " Some cannibals are found among the natives, and some pygmies, but these are exceptions to the rule. As a conclusion a series of stereopticon views were given illustrating the native customs as to facial decoration, head-dress, etc. In regard to the question of inhuman treatment of the natives by the Belgian government, the lecturer stated that in his year's sojourn in the Congo Free State he had seen none of it, and that in his opinion it was almost entirely newspaper talk. MY IMPRESSION OF BELLINGHAM. I left the train at the wooden station And walked up the wooden street, The wooden car came up from afar, And I sat on its wooden seat. Up the street it went pell-mell And put me off at a wooden hotel. I took a bath in a wooden tub And sat me down to partake of "grub." When I slept that night in the wooden bed, The only idea in my wooden head Was the wooden city of Bellingham. I started out for a new impression On a perpendicular walk. Still rose my ire as I mounted higher, But too much out of breath to talk. Later I climbed Sehome hill— That gave me a different sort of thrill; But that was nothing to Chuckanut, Up there where the narrow trail is cut. I stiffened my joints and wore out my shoes— Did everything but get the blues— In the hilly city of Bellingham. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 In intervals of my occupation, At close of a busy day, I watch the blue and every soft hue Of the sun-rinsed, shimmering bay. The mist arising from the sea Creates a city of dreams for me; And when I the loftier feelings seek, I gaze on Mt. Baker's snowy peak— Or go to the woods and commune with God, 'Mid the ferns and the pines and cool, green sod Of the beautiful town of Bellingham. But of all this strange, weird combination, The thing that reaches my heart— That I love best, at work and at rest, And from which I most hate to part— Is the place where I come every morn, The place where youth and youngsters swarm, The place where a smile I'm sure to meet, The place where every one's sure to greet, The place which is sending its teachers out To all the country round about— The Normal School of Bellingham. —BERENICE BARNES. DAVIDSON GLACIER. (Extract from a letter written by Mr. Guy Allison, formerly editor of The Messenger, now principal of the Tacoma schools, for the Kirks-ville Daily Express, descriptive of his trip to Alaska last June.) Four o'clock came none too soon, for we were anxious to leave Skagway. As the Santa Rosa turned again to the south and steamed away to Davidson Glacier we left the little town of Skagway and soon were busy eating a well prepared dinner. When told that we would get to the glacier by 8 o 'clock in the evening all of us who expected to attempt the climb, donned overshoes, rubber boots and overcoats, and by the time we had arrived one-half mile off shore, fifty-seven men and women? boys and girls, stood on the deck ready to be helped into the lifeboats which were to carry us ashore. I shall never forget that half-mile ride. We were tossed far up and then lowered by the great waves, but we never feared, for five strong sailor boys were hold of the long oars and the first mate steered us safely. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger No sooner had we landed than we started across a large level meadow, containing about eighty acres. Doubtless we looked like a band of Indians as we went single-fie along the narrow trail. After we had crossed about a quarter of a mile of this, we entered a very dense forest of cedar and alder. But our trail led on and on yet with never a sign to guide us save the beaten path beneath us. When we had walked through one and one-half miles of such dense growth we emerged from it, crossed a rushing clay colored stream and within five minutes we stood before Davidson Glacier—the goal of the summer tourist. Before us on the left lay a muddy lake, covering about five acres of space; on our right lay great heaps of clay debris which had been thrown down the medial moraines; before us, stretching up—up—up and fading into the very clouds lay the river of ice. The course of its current was marked by the moraines, which looked like great streaks upon a lighter background. Getting a large crooked stick I mounted the face with the others. Beneath me lay rough muddy ice; beside me, yawning crevices in which water clear and crystal ran silently; above me, the great mountain of ice; over me, a starlit sky of azure blue; beyond me, the wildest mountains and the calm fjord, in which I caught a glimpse of our great black ship as she waited for our return. Such a sight! There were eternal Winter touched and kissed by the June time summer and melted away in tears which ran down the cheeks of the blushing Summer and lost themselves in Old Mother Ocean. There I stood where no flowers ever bloomed, but where ice was always king; it was only the goat and gray ptarmigan who found a home upon it. We mounted higher, steadily picking our way along the ridges of ice, for had our foot slipped we should have been dashed to death in the chasms below. The ice grew clearer, and where the water had worn it smooth it presented a deep rich blue color. Though we walked for a quarter of a mile further, still the grandeur increased, and it was ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 only upon hearing the whistle from our boat that our stay was cut short. The descent was much harder than the ascent for we had to hold ourselves back. Several just sat down and slid, but as I had a sharp pointed stick (which I still retain) I managed to walk. It was a jolly, mud spattered crowd that followed the trail back to the beach, but each of us realized that we had had an experience which comes in to the life of but comparatively few people, climbing a glacier. SOCIETIES. (By Louise Walker.) Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. has played an important part in the social life of the school this fall. On Friday afternoon of the first week of school about 100 students and members of the faculty enjoyed a social cup of tea in the Association Eoom. t The Y. W. C. A. gave their annual reception in Society Hall, on the evening of September 20. A large number of students and friends were present. On Saturday afternoon, October 19, Mrs. Deerwester entertained the members of the association at her home, on James street, in a very delightful manner. The young ladies of the association will give a banquet in the capacious dining room of the Normal Dormitory. The decorations and menu will be suggestive of Halloween. Three classes have been organized in Bible study: "The History of the Old Testament," conducted by Mrs. Nettleton; "The Life of Christ," by Miss Gray, and "The Gospel of St. John," by Miss Sperry. THESPIAN DRAMATIC 80CIETY. The Thespian Dramatic Society is composed of twenty-six members. The society had its first open meeting Friday, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger October 18, at which it presented, in an able manner, the trial scene from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." The society is preparing to present "The Maid of Plymouth," a dramatization of Miles Standish. The plan of the society is to observe an order of progression in dramatic work, and during the spring semester scenes from some of the greatest tragedies will be given. THE MUSICAL CLUB. Much enthusiasm is being shown in the Musical Club, which is composed of twenty-six members. They are planning to appear in assembly in the near future. The club is under the able direction of Miss Moore. ALKISIAH CLUB. Mr. 0'Sullivan has been selected as critic of the club. Their last meeting was spent in the discussion of the Northwest. Olive Kale gave a map sfeidy of, the first road of Washington. Miss Veda Forrest told of pioneer days in Washing-tpn, The Young Men's Debating Club reorganized early in the semester and has held its meetings each week since. The meetings are on Saturday evenings in Society Halfc The club- plans to have a debate each meeting and supplements this with addresses, extemporary speeches and orations; The interest shown by the young men seems a* first phenomenal, yet there is no phase of school Mtork-more conducive to mental: training and to real preparation for the duties of life ikm the habit of the student standing up^ before tiia fellows and doing his best to speak on the topic at hand.

Any one interested in state history may become a member by agreeing to take a subject and, after careful research work, prepare a paper, which is to be filed in the Normal School Library for future use. The object is to collect material from those who took part in the making of our state history.

Entered December 21, 1902, at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class matter, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Vol. VI.\ NOVEMBER, 1907 No.fr\ EDITORIAL. Starting on the eighth year of its existence The Messenger finds itself on a firmer basis than ever before. A committee consisting of two members of the faculty, one member of the alumni, the editor-in-chief, and the business manager has been appointed to advise the editorial staff. The business men of the city have great confidence in the paper as an advertising medium. We trust that this confidence is not misplaced. In behalf of the faculty and students we thank the business men for their support. May the money thus invested be returned to them many fold. Pew schools, if any, can boast of a growth which will equal that of the Bellingham Normal. It was established by an act of the legislature in the year 1893, but no appropriation was made for maintenance until 1899. Two years after the school started, in answer to the demand for more room, the legislature appro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 priated money to build the Annex, where the training school is now located. Again in 1907 more room was needed, so the legislature appropriated money to build the Science Annex, on the north end of the building. These constant demands for more room show what a growth the school has had. Young as the school is it stands at the head of the Normal schools of the Northwest. Students come from all parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, and even Alaska, to share its advantages. Its graduates are in demand everywhere. Its pathway looks brighter than ever before. Bellingham Normal is destined to become one of the leading schools of the Pacific Coast. The girls at the University are making pin money by taking care of the babies of the faculty, while their mothers attend entertainments, musicales and social functions. Take note, girls, the same can be done here. The working plan of The Messenger has been changed. Instead of each class and society having a reporter to report proceedings to The Messenger, we have the different departments, i. e., Literary, Athletic, Society, Local and Alumni, with a capable editor at the head of each department, who are responsible for the news of their particular phase of school life. The principal of the Denver High School has requested that all young ladies attending that institution have pockets made in their dresses. For various reasons we suggest that Dr. Mathes make the same request of Normal girls. The Messenger, with its Athletic, Society, Alumni and Local Departments, will be a newspaper. But unlike our small competitors on Dock street and Railroad avenue, in that we will not print stories of Graft, Divorces, Criminal Court Proceedings, Murders nor Scan- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger dal in any form. Nor will we attempt to pick the next President of the United States, Mayor of the City, or any man for public office. "We expect to give the people healthy, clean reading. As for the policy of the paper, nothing need be said, save that the best man should have the place, regardless of party affiliations. With our Literary Department we intend to give good reading—short stories, stories of travel, biography, etc. In a word, we want a newspaper and magazine combined, selecting the best parts of each, thereby giving the subscribers something worth reading. Each number of The Messenger will contain an article of interest by a member of the faculty, the Alumni Association or from some other source of interest. We take pleasure in publishing in this number an extract from a letter written by Mr. Guy Allison, descriptive of a part of his trip to Alaska last summer. A. D. F. ATHLETICS. (By N. Davenport.) With about $70 in the treasury the Athletic Associatoin looks forward to a prosperous year. A new schedule has been arranged for the Kline cup games. There will be six match games in the evening to open the season Tjdth, and all remaining games, except the semi-finals and the final game, will be played in the afternoon. The schedule follows: EVENING GAMES. November 8—First vs. Second; Juniors vs. Fourth. November 15—Third vs. First; Seniors vs. Fourth. November 22—Third vs. Second; Juniors vs. Seniors. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 AFTERNOON GAMES.

Every class is going to put out a good team, and from the interest displayed the contests promise to be lively. ALUMNI. (By Clara Tarte.)

Roy's sentimentalism was evidently aroused by the notice that appeared on the bulletin board concerning school teachers and matrimony.

It was held in the gymnasium of the school. A good time was reported. The classes will have to go some if they entertain in Assembly as well as Miss Montgomery did with her story of "Hardscrabble." The Normal Lecture Course is destined to be a success this year. Messrs. Tillman and Starr were strong members, and the future numbers are equally as promising. Miss Hogle—"Don't you think our large Junior class will be hard to manage?" Mr. Epley—"Not at all.
