Page Nineteen ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 20 ---------- Foreword To all into whose hands this Book may find its way,-Greetings: With this number we present for your inspection the first number of The Klipsun. The Staff have spared neither time nor labor in trying to get out the best Annual that our School has ever produced, and we wish to thank those who have jointed their efforts with ours in working toward our ideal. If the Klipsun in any way resembles the papers which have been published before, remember that we have tried to combine the best points of each in this. If it meets your approval we trust that it will prove the worthy forerunner of future Klipsuns of a larger Normal Page Twenty ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 21 ---------- AN APPRECIATION As a student body we are indeed fortunate but as Seniors we are doubly fortunate in having for our wise counselors and advisors Miss Frances Hays and Mr. Deerwester. As teachers they have truly taught, and in their daily associations with the students they have been an inspiration to us all,-our ideals are higher, our efforts are greater. One never passes Miss Hays without feeling better for the contact; no matter how busy or hurried, she always has time for a cheery word or a bright smile,- those little touches of human kindness that make one see the roses in the path. "Let us-let all the world agree, To profit by resembling thee." Mr. Deerwester, with his indefatigable energy, has guided us over many rugged peaks, and when we have crossed them we are met with a smile and encouraging words, tinged with a bit of his inimitable humor. "Dear to the learned, to the simple, dear, For daily blessing mark'd thy virtuous year. For God had form'd thy feelings on the noblest plan, To grace at once the teacher and the man."

In the past some practice has been given in plant propagation by budding and grafting. In connection with poultry raising, lectures are given on hatching, brooding, feeding and housing of poultry. BIOLOGY- A full year of High School botany is offered; also courses in economic and systematic botany and plant anatomy. Field excursions and lectures illustrated by lantern slides are interesting and instructive features of the work. A year's work in zoology, also is given. This course is a series of lectures upon the important theories of biology, combined with field work. The second semester is given to the study of comparative anatomy. MATHEMATICS- Instruction in this department is in the hands of three teachers. The work includes High School and two years of College mathematics. About three hundred students have been enrolled during the year. HISTORY- English history, Modern History, Nineteenth Century History, American History, Civics, Political Economy and State Manual are the subjects offered, also a half year's course in methods of teaching History. Notebooks are required in nearly every case, together with five or six hundred pages of outside reading matter. For Political Economy an essay of three thousand words upon some topics of economic interest is required. LA TIN AND GERMAN- The course in Latin includes four and a half years of Latin and one-half year of methods of teaching the subject. Three years of German, which is the only modern language taught, are offered. Credit is given for ability to read and write Swedish or Norwegian. HOME ECONOMICS- This department, which includes instructions in cooki;ng and sewing, was opened in September, 1908, with an enrollment of ninety- Page Twenty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 25 ---------- four. The work is now carried on by two teachers and the enrollment has increased to one hundred and eighty-nine, besides the girls of the Eighth Grade. The work in cooking includes the buying, cooking and serving of foods, also the preparation of lunches for rural schools. The sewing classes are taught how to cut out, fit and make garments properly. DRAWING AND MANUAL TRAINING-- This work is under the direction of two teachers and has a very large enrollment. The drawing work given includes simple object drawing and work in water colors, also perspective and advanced color work and methods of teaching drawing. In the hand work, clay modeling, basketry, metal work and wood carving are taught. ENGLISH- Many different lines of work are offered in the English Department. Thorough courses in grammar and composition are given as well as English methods for both grade and High School work. Instruction is given in the History of English Literature and a number of the classics are studied. In the Senior year, a semester is devoted to the study of Browning. ORAL EXPRESSION- This course is in the hands of two very competent teachers. Besides the regular Class work this department has charge of the training in debating, declamation and giving plays. Selections from the best literature, especially for grade work, are typewritten and sent out to schools to arouse interest in this work. It is probable that a course in practical public speaking will be offered next year. PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION- A year's work in psychology, semester courses in the History and Philosophy of Education as well as method work are offered in this department. There are classes in Observation, Methods of Teaching in the Rural Schools, Child Study, and School Supervision. Beginning with summer school, there will be a special instructor for rural school work. PHYSICAL TRAINING- This work is in charge of two instructors, one for girls and one for men. Gymnasium work is required of all students except the Seniors, who are required to take a course in Physical Culture Methods and Plays and Games. All athletics are in charge of this department. MUSIC- Instruction is given in methods of teaching music and also in ad-vanced sight reading. A course in the History of Music is given, which includes the study of ancient music and primitive instruments, and traces the development of music up to the present time. A study of the lives of great composers is also made. A special course of one year is given for students wishing to become music supervisors. WOODWORK AND PRINTING-- This department is new this year, but is proving very popular with students. The course in woodwork includes a general study of woods found in this region and practical work in the care and use of tools; also design, construction and wood finishing. The work in printing Page Twenty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 26 ---------- includes instruction in setting type, making forms, and operating a small job press. TRAINING DEPARTMENT-- This department includes the first eight grades and two years of High School work. The whole department is in charge of a competent superintendent and eight supervisors. One hundred eighty-five student teachers are working in the training department. Hand work, sewing, drawing and cooking are supervised by the Normal instructor having charge of that work. At present the enrollment numbers over five hundred children. TEACHING STAFF-- The Faculty now numbers thirty-five, graduates of some of the best educational institutions in the United States and well equipped to direct the work of the School. ATHLETICS-- Keener interest is being shown in athletics than has ever been seen at the Normal before. Football, basketball, baseball, and track are the chief sports. No student is allowed to play unless his School work is good. ORGANIZATIONS- The Students' Association assumes the general management of The Messenger, school athletics, and provides school supplies and text books practically at cost to the students. Officers are elected yearly, and the dues are fifty cents a semester. Besides the literary and musical societies each Class is a separate organization, elects officers each semester and carries on the business of the Class. The Y. W. C. A. adds much both to the social and spirit-ual life of the girls. + + HISTORY OF THE BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The Legislature of 1893 passed an act to establish a Normal School here and appropriated $40,000 for that purpose but stipulated that the site should be given. Two land companies gave five acres each, making a total of approximately ten acres and the school was built on the dividing line between what were then the two cities of Fairhaven and WVhatcom. Although the appropriation of $40,000 was granted by the Legislature of 1893, in 1895 Governor Rogers vetoed a bill for it maintenance, and it was not until September 6, 1899, that the school was organized. The Faculty at that time consisted of six members, but the number was increased to nine before the close of the year. The building at that time was what is now the main part of the school. The attendance in 1899-1900 was 264 in the Normal Department, and 80 in the Training School. May 1, 1913, the Faculty was composed of 35 members; there were 479 students enrolled in the Normal Department and over 500 in the Training School. The Training School Annex was added to the building in 1901 and the Science Annex in 1907. Edens Hall, the girls' dormitory, was enlarged to its present capacity in 1907. The tangible property of the School at the present time is valued at $305,551.

Another bright and lovely day is almost past; The brightness of the noontide 'gins to fade away, The cool of evening bloweth gently past Laden with the blossom scent of May. The great sun hangs suspended 'tween the ocean and the sky, While the genii of the evening their gorgeous colors ply. Golden, red and purple in many a varied hue, Their colors lend to the great sea's bend, They touch the hills and tint the clouds and.fade in heaven's blue Till the sky above and the sea beneath are lost in one great blend. And then to the north we look away On the cold white tops where the colors play. When the great, bright sun is sinking in the West, His nether rim is bathed in ocean foam, Then each small thing doth seek his cozy nest, And the thoughts of man are turned toward home. Then the colors on the evening sky Like Autmn leaves, they fade and die. As a great white swan the day floats down the stream of time, And, like the swan, her life is sweetest at the last. Her sad farewell is vesper's lonely chime Tells us night is near, the bright and lovely day is past. The time has come which Man and Nature loveth best. In the shifting of the shadow, in the falling of the light, Is the promise of the Maker and the handiwork of God; And His great and wondrous mercy in the coming of the night In which we rest a moment from our weary journey's plod. They came, the words so sweet and clear, "'Tis good for us to have been here." LEILA PARSONS.

CLASS OFFICERS President .................MARJORIE ARTHUR Secretary ....................MINNIE CARVER Treasurer ...................LOLAH SMITH CLASS HISTORY. September fifth dawned bright and glorious. Early in the morning the newcomers began wending their way to the Normal, desirous of finding what pleasures (?) were in store for them. The Juniors were sent to Mr. Epley, where they faced the problem of earning the greatest number of credits with the least amount of effort. After much weary time spent in juggling hours under the direction of a few Seniors, we were at last assigned to classes. In due time the report was made that the Junior Class of 1912 had the honor of being the largest class ever enrolled in the Normal. The Junior Class was organized with Mr. Rogers, President; Miss Nelson, Secretary; and Mr. Epley and Miss Hogle Class Teachers. After the many tears of homesickness were dried everyone entered whole- heartedly into the enjoyment of his surroundings. Many were the good times we had on our picnics and at parties. We even indulged in Class scraps occasionally, but only good-humoredly. At the beginning of the second semester new officers were selected as follows: Herman Merritt, President; Verna Boyd, Vice-President, and Gertrude Davidson, Secretary and Treasurer. The Juniors were prominent in all school activities. Their reception to the School was a decided success. The Junior girls did not for- Page Thirty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 34 ---------- get basketball, and after many hard games, succeeded in capturing the Kline Cup. May twelfth was the important day on which the Juniors presented the Class play, "Mr. Bob." There was an excellent caste of characters to entertain the enthusiastic audience. The close of the year was now approaching. The Juniors entertained the members of the Senior Class of 1912 by a picnic to Vendova Island. On Class day the Juniors took part in the exercises of the Seniors and in the evening all met in the drawing room, where many met for the last time. On returning to school in September, 1913, the Seniors found many new faces. Those who were in the Class during 1912 missed many of their old friends, but many other jolly Seniors came to take their places. Being familiar with school routine it was not long before we were toiling over the deep subjects of Philosophy and Sociology. The Senior Class met and elected the following officers for the first semester: Lucetta McKechnie, President; Marjorie Arthur, Vice-President; Mabel Brown, Secretary; and Mr. Helm, Treasurer. We were also fortunate enough to have Mr. Deerwester and Miss Hays appointed as Class teachers. The first social affair given by the Seniors was the reception given to the school. It was held in Society Hall, which was elaborately decorated in the Class Colors, Olive Green and Gold. A program of music and readings was given after which everyone enjoyed a good time and refreshments were served. Later, the Senior Class was divided into three groups, each one to have charge of one social event for the entertainment of the Seniors. Group One gave the Senior Circus, which proved very amusing and entertaining. Group Two gave a reception at the P. L. F. club-house, in honor of the Mid-Year Graduating Class. The reception was well planned and very successful. Group Three had charge of the picnic to Ravenswood, whither they were invited through the courtesy of the Misses Carver and De Haven; but the weather man got his orders mixed and the picnic had to be given up, much to our regret. At the beginning of the second semester, new officers were elected, as follows: Mr. Hevly, President; Miss Arthur, Vice-President; Miss Carver, Secretary; and Miss Smith, Treasurer. Mr. Hevly was compelled to leave school because of illness and Miss Arthur has been acting as Class President. One of the most successful entertainments given at the Normal during 1913, was the Senior Vaudeville, on May 3. Every number was well given and the audience was in a gale of merriment all evening. The play presented by the Senior Class of '13, undei the direction of Miss Hays, was well rendered. It required much hard work on the part of the caste and they deserve much credit for the way in which they handled their respective parts. The last social function of the Senior Class occurred on June 3, 1913, which was Class day. In the morning of that day the Seniors partook of a breakfast in Miss Lawrence's department. The campus was decorated and in the afternoon the regular ceremonies of laying the stone and planting ivy occurred. This was followed by charades and games on the campus. In the evening of that memorable day all of our carefully treasured plans and notebooks were consigned to the flames of the annual bonfire. Our final appearance was made on the morning of June 5, when we received the long-coveted diplomas, so dear to each of us. ALICE DUNLOP.

On the evening of May 3, the Seniors covered themselves with glory. From the time the curtain went up for the first act until the close, the auditorium resounded with the applause and laughter of the audience. The "Weaver's Dance" was a very artistic example of the folk dance. One of the most popular features was the work of "Sam" Carver and Ed. Nattrass on the parallel bars. Every move was enjoyed immensely. Misses Davis, Wall and Crawshaw made quite a hit with their original act, "Do It!" What could have been prettier or daintier than the "Dance of the Nippon," by girls in Japanese costume? The forming of the figure thirteen was certainly well done. One of the strongest hits of the evening was the "Rose Dance," by Elizabeth Gaasland, soloist, and six chorus girls. It was certainly the "pink" of perfection. The encore in which Dan Hall appeared was -very much appreciated by the audience. The "Movies" surely deserve mention. They were designed by Misses Lucetta MacKechnie and Minnie Carver, and showed considerable originality in the line of "take- offs" on the Faculty and students. "The Heavenly Twins" gave an entertaining recital of their woes, set to music. They were appropriately dressed as became children of their age. Everyone enjoyed Mrs. Deerwester as Madame Tritosyng. "The Butterfly Dance," by Isabella Williams was so artistic and pleasing with the colored lights that it was enthusiastically encored. Last but not least came the "Minstrels." The end men and end girls were cleverly gotten up and the jokes afforded abundarit amusement. Mr. Dan Hall in a couple of song hits was well liked. Wilbur Anderson made a hit with "Pick, Pick, On Your Mandolin." "The Tom Cat Song," by Elizabeth Gaasland was quite taking. The music furnished by the principals was above criticism and the variety of catchy, popular songs was much enjoyed by all. Much credit is due to Wallace Sutherland for his untiring coaching of this act. Page Thirty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 38 ---------- FUTUREOSCOPE. (Being a few pages from the correspondence of Grace Hardin and.Min-nie Carver in the year 1923.) BELLINGHAM, Washington, August 23, 1923. DEAR MINNIE: That most excruciatingly amusing letter of yours was awaiting me when I arrived at my office this morning. Now don't let those superfluous adjectives offend your delicate pedagogical sensibility. They are necessary to express the exact state of my emotions when I read the account of those heart-rending (?) experiences you have been having with your mathematics students. Seriously, however, I am quite sure that your new method of teaching algebra by applying it to the dining room menu will prove extremely popular, especially to that section of your followers whose proverbial hearts are most easily reached through their esophagi. You will observe from the heading of this epistle that I am writing on the 23d day of the month, 1923. Now, if I were in the least superstitious, I should hesitate to even begin a letter that would have to bear a date like that, but hoodoo numbers have had no terrors for me since the year 1913, when we graduated from dear old B. S. N. S. with that Class that came out so famously, in spite of the dire forebodings of evil that it inherited from tradition. That reminds me of the dream I had last night. I must tell you about it. I dreamed that I was back in Philosophy Class and that Prof. Deerwester, in his usual gentle and patient manner, was doing his utmost to make it clear to us that "ontogeny recapitulates the phylogeny of the 'race,' " while we sat there demurely and innocently eating peanuts. Now what in the world do you suppose made me dream a thing like that. I can only account for it in one way: the past week has been Marathon week! Does that give you a clue? It has been the grandest event of modern times, because it marked the completion of that macadamized road from Bellingham to Mt. Baker, an enterprise that could not have been a success had it not been for the energetic efforts of that peerless leader, Mr. William Tucker, whose long experience in the Polar regions,-and at the Normal--gave him the inspiration for his great achievement. He has made our city the cynosure of all eyes. It seems to me that everybody and his dog has been here;-not figuratively, but literally. Do you know, I'll never forgive Ethel Anderson for introducing that dog fad into America. She might have known that everyone would follow her example. While it may be all right for one in her social position to go down the street towing five or six handsome collies with as many sky blue ribbons, it gets on one's nerves to see so many other people trying to do likewise in order to keep up with the fashion. Now, if she had followed Sarah Moen's example and founded an asylum for weather-beaten cats, I am sure humanity would have profited a great deal more. I can't begin to tell you how many of the old familiar faces I have seen during this celebration. They have come from all corners of the earth. Even Lady Luzelle C. Hyeborough was moved to give up her last series of bridge parties and travel all the way from England to attend the opening, so you can see that there must have been considerable attraction here. The governor (or "ess" I should say, for Tacy insists that Governoress Clarke is her proper title), was here and delivered an address. She has the most charming husband--iron gray hair and such eyes ! Page Thirty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 39 ---------- They say he presides over the Governor's mansion very gracefully. The grand military ball was the most remarkable feature of our preliminary affairs. The grand march was led by Miss Myrtle Kennedy and Admiral Daniel Hall of the U. S. N. Some one invented a new dance especially for this occasion. It seems to be a combination of the bunny-hug, turkey-trot, waltz, three-step and barn dance, with just a suggestion of ragging. They say that Grace MacKechnie is responsible for it, but I could not vouch for that. Anyway it shows off the gowns to perfection. You should have seen the Spenger girls and Lily Morrison, with their multi-millionaire husbands. Such jewels! "Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these." Myrtle Fisher surprised everyone by appearing in the much discussed Oriental gown that was designed in Seattle by Edith Anderson and adopted by nearly all the dress reform leaders in that city. Of course the Marathon was the climax of the entire celelration, but even that was not as interesting as the cartoons of the contestants, which were drawn by L. Mack. They were the main attraction, in my estimation. Everyone says that Lucetta is the cleverest cartoonist on the market. There is no doubt about it. The only thing that in any way marred the general harmony of our week's festival was the deplorable accident which happened on the last day, when Nellie Cropper and her new Watkins' Torpedo car collided with a stage, and several people were injured, including Miss Engle, reporter for the Times. She had a front tooth dislocated. Fortunately Dr. Marion Johnson, dentist, was in the crowd and the trouble was soon remedied. These stars indicate an interruption. I have so many of them daring thildaey . it was only Earl Gibb again. He has been fairly haunting this building for a week, trying to talk me into having my picture enlarged, but has not succeeded so far. Speaking of agents, yesterday Anna Brown called and wanted to sell me a copy of MeCully's Complete United States, History, but when she found that I already had one, she directed her energies toward extolling the praises of "Barry's New Cyclopedia of Cute and Catchy Phrases." And day before yesterday Blanche Gawley was here taking orders for her new invention, a patent automatic combination dishwasher and flapjack griddle. I took one to use on my next camping trip. These are dreadfully busy times. I have another interesting case on hand in court. Happy Williams and Helen Stevens have brought suit against Susie Depew and her botany pupils for trespassing on their golf links and wantonly and unlawfully destroying the shrubbery. Philip Hogan is attorney for the defense, and I have been retained by the plaintiffs. I expect some interesting developments. ! !v?x ! ! ! ? There goes my wireless. Excuse me for a moment while I answer it.- It was Mary Ossewaarde, dear Malry, who puzzles all the world; who has so many suitors and yet refuses to condescend to change her name. She wants me to come up to dinner this evening. She is going to entertain in honor of Ruth Sears, who has pust returned from Central Africa, where she has spent the past two years introducing domestic science and dressmaking among the natives of the Congo. Of course I'll accept Mary's invitation. She also said something about a theatre party afterwards. Grace Barnes is going to play tonight at the Gaasland Theatre in Rhea Barnard's latest success, "The Honeymoon." Grace always was fond of those sentimental things, you know. and Page Thirty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 40 ---------- since she has become so famous she seems to have molded the public into her cast of thought also. Speaking of the opera reminds me of my new hat. dream, It is a perfect especially in the matter of color blending, and is decidedly exclusive in style for it bears the B. K. trade mark. That means that it is a Blanche Knight model, which you know represents the very last word in the designer's art, although Blanche herself retired from the business long ago to enter a more romantic realm. The afternoon mail just came in and I notice among my letters a circular from Miss Fatland, of the Normal Faculty, advising me by all means not to miss the lecture course this year, as there are to be several fine numbers, including Hazel De Haven's lecture on "How Man Has Profited by Universal Suffrage," and Dunlop, McKay and Carter's troupe of singers. I also have heard that Louise Atchison will return from her Arctic missionary trip this fall and will give her moving picture display at the Normal. I have another letter from an old friend. Caroline Halsey, Secretary of the National Y. W. C. A., wishes me to subscribe something for their new project, the Uniform Dress for Women movement. I understand that Virginia Ashby is delivering a series of addresses against this pro-ject, and it is to counteract her influence that Caroline is working so indefatigably. I ran across Belva Waters the other day in the public library. She has been traveling for an entire year, visiting schools in various parts of the world for the purpose of making a comparative study of disciplinary methods. She told me some very interesting things about people that you and I used to know. She said that Maude Jamieson was teaching osteopathy in a California school, and that Anna Tromp had worked out a psychological test for backward children, that promises to rival even the Binet system. Marjorie Arthur and Lois Te Roller, she said, had both married college presidents. On her Pacific trip she had as a fellow passenger Lola Glee Smith, who was traveling for a collection agency, and, when she arrived in Honolulu, whom did she come face to face with but Ethel Scheidemantel, police matron in that city. I forgot to tell you that I have moved. Am now in the new Davis and Wall bank building, right across the street from the Manford Anderson Undertaking arlors, and next door to Stoddard and Landen's Hairdressing establishment. From my window I can look across into Grace Collins' Needlecraft Shop in the next building, and watch the fashionable crowds that come to purchase her dainty wares. This, together with the trills and thrills that escape down the elevator shaft from the Egbert School of Music on the top floor, serves somewhat to break the monotony of this twenty-one story city existence. I shall probably be in Chicago for a few days this fall on business and if so will run out to the University to see you. I am rather uncer- tain at present as to how I shall travel. May come by rail, for the biplanes are so uncertain, especially since Wally Sutherland and his Amalgamated Ozone Travel Company gained control of all the air lines in America, hot and otherwise. Gracious! My watch says five o'clock. If I am going to take dinner with Mary I shall have to hurry some, so please consider this installment closed. The narrative will be continued in the next issue. Do write soon and be sure and tell me how your brother's swimming school is getting along. You didn't say a word about it last time. Give my best regards to Bessie Taylor and Irene Schacht, and all the other Chicago friends, and don't let them play any more pranks on the poor, suffering professors. Yours in hasty retreat, GRACE HARDIN. Page Forty ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 41 ---------- [Image] EARLE GIBB-"ICH" Bellingham, Washington "With all good grace to grace a gentleman."

If you let your memory travel back about nine months you will recall when we first entered the Class of 1914. We entered the Normal School with a feeling akin to that which we had when we were little green Freshmen in our home High School. Our vim and spirit soon came to the surface and we were working together like Trojans. Our first venture in the social line was during the football season, when we entertained the Everett High School boys. It was the most unique affair of the season, carrying out the idea of a football game throughout. Next in line came our character party, given in Society Hall. The air fairly breathed of Colonial days, college spirit and loved characters of literature. We almost lived the days over when we wore blouses and pinafores. On the afternoon of March 14, you could have heard a bustle and stir in the regions of the Music room. If you had inquired the cause of Page Seventy-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 74 ---------- this extra energy you would have found out it was simply a preliminary to the Junior reception. It was a grand success from beginning to end. A most enjoyable program was given in the Auditorium the first part of the evening. After the program we adjourned to the Music room where the reception took place. Several members of the Faculty stood in the receiving line and assisted us in giving our colleagues and honored guests, the Seniors, a hearty welcome. The rooms were decorated very effectively with pennants and with fluted crepe paper in both the Junior and Senior colors, cardinal and gray and green and yellow. The Normal colors, blue and white, carried out the color scheme in the hall. The potted plants and palms and cut flowers put the finishing touches to an already beautiful arrangement and made us think of the joys and beauties of the Springtime. During the evening we were greatly favored with musical selections by Mrs. Deerwester, Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Trimble. Of course we have not forgotten the Junior Jubilee which was given at the Aftermath Club House, and the jolly time we had. It was given in honor of our girls' champion basketball team. We are now all looking forward to our picnic on Cypress Island. We will charter a boat in the near future and make a day of it and we expect one jolly good time. One of the events of the year will be our Class plays, which will be given the latter part of May. The plays we decided upon are "An Interrupted Proposal," by Arlo Bates, and "How the Vote Was Won," by Cicely Hamilton. "HOW THE VOTE WAS WON."

Page Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 75 ---------- Class Song TUNE-"I Want to Be In Dixie.." Oh, have you seen? Oh, have you seen? The Juniors! Classy bunch and pretty keen, Ne'er losers! In a game or team They're hard to beat, you can see.. I'm glad to be, I'm glad to be, I'm glad to be, A member of this great and noble multitude; Let me tell you the reason is because, CHORUS You can't surpass The Junior Class, For its stands without an equal; It's the liveliest crowd in all the land And the way it does surely beats the band. Our colors gay, Cardinal and Gray, We'll stand by them With gallant daring. So with one good rousing cheer we'll end: J--- U-N---, we don't know how to spell it! But crix-crax, crix-crax, Juniors, Juniors, Crackerjacks! Page Seventy-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 76 ---------- Psalm of the Student Teacher's Life Tell me not in mournful numbers, "Lesson plans are but a dream!" For they keep us from our slumbers And "See Me's" are not what they seem. Plans are real and plans are irksome, And the Critic's desk their goal; "You will flunk if you don't work some," Does not comfort one's poor soul. Not enjoyment and not pleasure, Is the student teacher's way; But to teach that she may treasure On her credit slip an A. School is long, the pupils fretful, And tho' we plot and plan and ponder, How to make them less forgetful, Still their thoughts astray will wander. In the schoolroom's field of battle, Before the Supervisor's eyes, Don't try to bluff with senseless prattle, Be pedagogical and wise. Lives of Critics all remind us We can mend our many faults, And departing leave behind us Records in that fire-proof vault; Records that future committees, When they're asked to recommend, Wondering what to say about us, Finding shall take heart again. Let us then be up and training, With a heart for calling down, Still expounding, still explaining, Learn to face the Critic's frown. -- G. H., '13.

CLASS FLOWER -Blackeyed Susan CLASS TEACHERS-- Miss Jensen, Mr. Bever S-O -F-O--M -O-R-E Normal Sophomores are we. We can work and we can grin, We are the Class that is going to win, Razzle, dazzle, zis, boom, rezz, We are the Sophs of the B. N. S. Although the Sophomore Class is small, still it is large enough for our members to have the best of times at social functions of our own. We proved this at the party given by Elizabeth Eggers last fall. No large class could have been entertained at a private home in that way and had as glorious a time as we had. Then February fifteenth we gave a valentine party for the Freshman Class, and we are sure that the Freshies can vouch for the good time they had. Thanks to Miss Jensen's untiring zeal the party was a perfect success. Still a small class has its drawbacks. Only six or seven girls turned out for basketball practice, Brown, Breum, Eggers, Westerlund, Ericson, and Pickens, and as we were unfortunate enough to get Friday Page Seventy-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 80 ---------- night, which is proverbially an unlucky night, for practice, when several of the girls had to be out of town, the result was that the team did not come up to the standard. As Edith Brown sprained her ankle twice while practicing, two new girls, Belle Sturgill and Alma Moe, played in the final games. But never mind, next year we will be Juniors, and we hope to win prestige in that Class. At least we know that Elizabeth Eggers will star in the Junior team, for when she takes a notion to sit on the ball nobody will dare to take it away from her. The Sophomores are a wide-a-wake Class. Perhaps if we did not say this ourselves nobody else would, but there is hardly a member that does not belong to some organization or other in school and many hold positions of prominence. There is Lew Greene; besides being our own chief executive, he is also Vice-President of the "Students' Association" and President of the Philomathean Society. Marie Reese is the Secretary of the latter organization and other members that belong are: Miss Jensen, Miss Westerlund, Miss Brown, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Owen and Mr. King. Anna Breum, Blanche Barrett and Alma Moe belong to the Alkisiah Club; Mr. Sloane to the Thespians; Hazel Baker to the H. L. S. In the late Declamation Contest Lew Greene and Jean Hinds took part, and although they did not carry off any laurels, we love them all the same. Many of the members have shown their loyalty for the Class, although they really belong to the upper classes. Miss Westerlund became a Senior last semester and the Misses Brown, Breum and Hinds are Juniors. We thank those young ladies for staying with us and helping to make this year a successful one. ~L 9 Page Eighty ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 81 ---------- FRESHMAN PageEighty-Orne ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 82 ---------- [Image] FRESHMAN CLASS Page Eighty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 83 ---------- Freshman CLASS TEACHERS-Miss La Verne Knowles, Mr. H.

Despite the fact that the Class is composed mostly of special students we have done a great deal in a social way. We have held in all three parties: Our Class Acquaintance party, a party to the Freshmen and their friends, and a conciliation party given to the Freshman and Sophomore teams on the night of the game The Sophomore Class held a "Saint Valentine's" party in honor of the Freshman Class the fifteenth of February, which was enjoyed by thirty- four Freshmen. Cupid games wer ethe events of the evening. At present we are planning a launch party to be given in honor of the Sophomores, and to be held in the near future. From these events you will perceive that the year has been a most eventful and pleasant one for all Freshmen, and I am sure the Class of '16 will look back to their Freshman year with only pleasant memories. 'Twas a morning in sunny September When we entered the Normal school, They quizzed us and gave us a program, Some class to these programs, I ween, For they grouped all the live ones together And labeled them "Freshmen '16."-I.

PAUL THOMPSON Secretary .......................................... WINNIE LEWIS Treasurer ......................................... TOM ALLISON MOTTO-"Try not, or accomplish." Since the organization of the High School four years ago, our Class has had a steady increase both in numbers and that quality known as ability. At the beginning of the school year 1911-12, our enrollment was seventeen; we now county forty-two at our Class meetings. Last year we ventured to present our first play. It was so successful that we have decided to put on a better one this year. It will be given May 16. The cast of characters is unusually strong and we fully expect to give something that compares favorably with the productions of the Normal classes proper. Watch the date, May 16, and be sure not to have some other engagement that interferes with your support of this, the best play presented in the Normal this year. We near the completion of the Tenth Grade with genuine regret. Since there is no Eleventh Grade in the Training School, we are soon to sever relations with the Normal High. We hope our successors will steadily continue to advance the interests and uphold the good name of the Normal High School. Some one has said of them, "Now, we may notice China; but after a while we must." May we suggest, "Now, you may notice the Tenth Grade, but after a while you must"?

PHILIP MONTAG Secretary ............................................. MILES BURPEE Treasurer ............................................. KATIE LOUGH During the year the Ninth Grade has shown that age is not the only thing that counts. While we can easily show a lower average of years, both in respect to age and time spent in school, we are not making this an excuse for inactivity. We have furnished our share of the Normal High Basketball team. This team was beaten in but one contest during the season and on that occasion so frightened their opponents that they refused to allow us a return game. We are represented on the Normal baseball team and expect to make our influence felt there too. A year ago this spring we won first place in the Chuckanut Marathon and our showing this spring will be equally good. We are not staking our reputation wholly upon our athletic record. In the Class room, the literary society, the laboratory,-everywhere-our work is the very best we can make it. Who gives the best recitations? Who always knows the answer to every question? Who solves all the hard problems? The Ninth Grade, to be sure. Only by consistent effort and continued reliance upon hard work can we maintain this position. Look out for the Ninth Grade,- we are bound to let you know we are in the institution.

CABINET Page Eighty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 90 ---------- Y.W.C.A. This year the Young Women's Christian Association of the Normal School passed the goal of two hundred members. The Chairman of the Membership Committee was a hustler and she, with her committee, made a complete canvass of the School. As a result wc have had two hundred seven members during the year. The work of the Association girls began even before school opened. Some of them arrived two days in advance and were busy every minute. Do you remember the first day you came to Bellingham? Those were Y. W. C. A. girls that met you at the train and helped you safely through the first of the "five formal steps" in your Normal lesson plan-the step into Miss Gray's office. The next pleasure the Association girls had was the delivering of bouquets to all the new girls. Many a homesick girl was cheered by this little remembrance. The devotional meetings of the year began with a vesper service the first Sunday afternoon. They were held regularly during the year at 4:10 on Thursdays. The girls who have attended most of these meetings tell of the inspiration and help they received. We have had many interesting speakers, among whom were Dr. and Mrs. Mylrae, Miss Fox, Miss Hillis, Mrs. Jones, Miss Fuller, Miss Tingley and Dr. Gordon, besides members of the Faculty. Then the meetings conducted by the girls were so good! One we all enjoyed was the conference meeting in charge of the three cabinet girls who were at Gearhart last summer. I'm sure many of us felt after hearing their talks that we wanted to go next time. During November the World's Week of Prayer for Missions was conducted under auspices of the Missionary Chairman Period. Miss Hawthorne, of Tacoma, gave the closing address and her talk on the mountain people of the South will long be remembered by those who heard it. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the year was the membership banquet, at Edens Hall, Nov. 22. Miss Abbie Johnson, formerly a President of our association, made a charming toastmistress. Miss Worden's poem delighted us all. The allusion to the "Five Formal Steps" used in the opening paragraph of this article was borrowed from Miss De Long's toast. Especially interesting to the girls present who had been in the Bellingham Normal for more than one year was Miss Wilson's "Memories" of former association girls. In February we held our Sixth Annual Bible Institute. We were fortunate this year in having four splendid Bible teachers with us: Mrs. Staat, for many years a worker in the China Inland Mission; Mrs. C. H. Black, of Seattle; Mrs. Beattie of Bellingham; and one who has come Page Ninety ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 91 ---------- to be an absolute necessity to our institute, Mrs. J. A. Campbell, of Seattle. Mrs. Campbell's lessons on the Book of Revelations were enthusiastically attended. The power of prayer was deeply impressed upon our hearts by the testimony of the lives of these noble women. Mrs. Staat told us how the work of the China Inland Mission is supported entirely by prayer. ELECTED OFFICERS President ....................................

It has furnished a nutritious and appetizing lunch to the members of the school and at the same time has provided for the finances of the Association. Under the supervision of Miss Lawrence and a competent Chairman of this committe have received helpful training. This is proved by the fact that the new Chairman has been a member of the Cafeteria Committee all year and now is well able to carry on the work of the cafeteria. Besides planning the Bible Institute mentioned above, the Bible Study Committee have organized thirteen Bible classes during the year. These have been taught by Faculty members or by Bible teachers living near the Normal. John's Gospel, the Life of Christ, Life and Epistles of Paul, and the Old Testament have been the topics of study. The Publicity Committee has done good work this year. Besides providing posters for the meetings they have carried on correspondence with a number of the Normal Schools and Colleges of the Northwest. One of the Thursday meetings was devoted to the messages from other schools and from these letters we got an idea of the work of the Y. W. C. A. in our sister schools. The Cabinet Conference was held in Tacoma this spring and as a number of the Cabinet could not attend, the retiring President, with Miss Sperry's aid, planned a one-day conference to be held in the Normal School. On April 15th, at nine o'clock, the program began with a Bible lesson. The Secretary of the city Y. W. C. A. gave us a survey of the National work. This was followed by a discussion of the work of the departments of our Association. At noon a luncheon was served to all attending, at the close of which toasts on the Summer conference were given. The meeting was well attended and was voted a great success. We feel that we have been indeed fortunate this year in having for our President, Miss Scheidemantel. She has shown herself very capable in managing the executive affairs of a society and untiring in devotion to the work of the Master. She, with a most helpful advisory Board, has been able to make the work of the Association a real joy. Page Ninety-One ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 92 ---------- ALKISIAH Page Ninety-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 93 ---------- Alkisiah The Club work started in September with five or six members from the preceding year but with as many more older ones. These latter added much to the power of the Club by bringing back new ideas. The task of filling the Club membership was pushed steadily on until the roll was full. There has been no attempt to take up any certain line of study this year as has been the custom of previous years. However, we have had several programs of sociological interest. Among these were "Pure Food," "The Strikes," in which the present "Shirt Waist Strike" was discussed, and the talks given at our open meeting on "Mothers' Pensions," "Juvenile Courts" and "Prison Reforms." Although we had several other heavy programs, our work has given much pleasure and many enjoyable evenings. Among our lighter programs was "Vacation Rambles." We will always remember the trials and funny stories as described by Misses Lucetta MacKechnie, Hogle and Dawson. Another evening we followed Mrs. Ella Higginson in her trip through "Alaska." Our "February Program" initiated us into the secrets of some great men and women, among whom were Longfellow, Lowell, Washington, Lincoln and Susan B. Anthony. We always enjoy Miss Baker's talks and her report on Miss Anthony's life that evening left a lasting impression. Our musical program was assisted very materially by the Victor machine. Every year the Underclassmen of the Society entertains the Senior members at a banquet. This year that most enjoyable affair took place April 24th. After the more material side the rest of the evening was spent in toasts and songs. We recommend Clarice Henry to anyone needing a capable and charming toastmistress in the future. One year the Club took up the study of the legends of the Holy Grail. As a result the Club possesses a Copley print of "The Oath of Knighthood," one of Abbey's mural paintings, illustrating the Holy Page Ninety-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 94 ---------- Grail. The Bulb Sale which took place in December, 1912, was for the purpose of raising enough money to frame this picture. It will be hung in the building temporarily awaiting an "Alkasiah Room," which latter we hope may be realized at an early date. Not the least part of the work of the second semester was the ful-filling of our promise to the Students' Association last year; namely, the Alkisiah pennant. Through the influence of our President, Minnie Carver, we obtained permission to enjoy a Saturday and Sunday at Ravenswood Camp, at Lake Whatcom. Once more, upon this occasion, we were thankful that our membership is limited to girls. Weenies, baked potatoes, coffee and accessories disappear rapidly at such a time, as you all know. The long tramps and the night spent in the open brought all back with fresh minds and bodies. Miss Baker, of course, was chaperon. It is, indeed, owing to our second semester officers, that the business of the Club has been so well finished. They are: President ............................................

This may be expressed through music, but best through that most perfect music, the music of the human voice, and through the greatest charm, the charm of personality. This is the aim of the Thespian Dramatic Club. The Club was formed at the opening of the school year, and besides purely dramatic work, it has included in its study, music, essays and the lives and art of the present day actors and actresses. On February 28th the Club presented its first public program, consisting of two short one-act farces, "In the Teeth of the Gift Horse," and "Her Decision." "In the Teeth of the Gift Horse" is one of Arnold Bennett's charming plays, and "Her Decision" is by Margaret Cameron, a delightful playwright. CAST OF CHARACTERS "IN THE TEETH OF THE GIFT HORSE."

M., the Club, chaperoned by Miss Hays, Miss Brown, Miss Sheafer and Mrs. Termaat, embarked on the San Juan II. for Friday Harbor. A big Thespian penpant floated from the main truck of the launch. The day was perfect and after cruising about among the many islands the launch landed at 3:30 P. M. A most appetizing and satisfying lunch was served cafeteria style in Rebekah Hall by the chaperons. The remainder of the after- noon was spent in "seeing the town," and in some clever work at staging. In spite of the meagre staging resources the plays were well given. The return trip began at 11:30 P. M., and was consequently made by moonlight. The second social gathering was held at Miss Hays' cabin on Lake Whatcom, April 17. A delightful picnic supper was served near the lake shore, where a beautiful view of the scenery was enjoyed. After the supper the Club adjourned to Miss Hays' cabin, where a short program was rendered and where the remainder of the evening was happily spent.

JOHN KAUP The Philomathean Society, which passed its third milestone, November 22, 1913, by giving one of its unique parties, including and a program, games has entered its fourth year with a membership of forty, and with promise of a still greater future. It is with pride that we note the success of former Philos. We also have the assurance that the present members will be a credit to the organization- for are they not even now winning laurels, with Viola Hopkins as winner of the first declamatory prize, Maimee Davis chosen by the Faculty as the Senior representative to appear on the Commence- ment program, Anna Brown as Editor-in-Chief of the Senior Annual, and with Messrs. Greene and Olson as members of the Student Board of Control. Early in the year the Society amended its constitution by adopting the Recall and Direct Primary. The latter became so popular that it was later adopted by the Students' Association. The social side of our activities has furnished much enjoyment, with spreads following several programs, two mysterious initiations, the May "stunt," a beach party and the famous birthday party. The work for the year has been instructive as well as entertaining. Much ability was been gained in parliamentary drill, debate, dis- Page Ninety-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 100 ---------- cussions, talks and much pleasure derived from the contributions from our musicians and elocutionists. The Philos gave the first public program of the year which showed what the society does at its regular programs. Every program has been carefully planned, prepared and executed. Among those rendered were a College program, Spelling Convention, Patriotic meeting, May Day parade and Philomathean Phonograph. + EXTRACTS FROM THE PHILO PHONOGRAPH. EDITORIALS. A word of Greeting: The Philos hope when this paper goes out to its readers, it will carry with it a breath of school life, and a little of the fraternal spirit of the Philos. All the events of interest will be recorded, and all matters of grave importance will be duly considered in its pages. + HIGH COST OF LIVING. We propose a simple remedy for the problem of high cost of living. We give Horace Greeley's well-known advice: "Go forth, young man, and seek a wife; when you have found her, marry her and go live with your father-in-law." GREAT CALAMITY IMPENDING. Many other weighty problems such as the trusts, tariff, Mexico, are agitating the public mind at present, but these evils are as nothing compared with the terrible calamity that is about to befall our Normal Old Normalites, George Washington and Julius Coesar would turn in their graves if they knew of this awful possibility. Yea! There shall be tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth throughout this broad, beautiful Normal world, if this catastrophe be not averted. The handwriting is on the wall! Therefore arise in your strength and ward off this terrible disaster. For if you do not awake, if you will not heed the prophet's warning voice,-Lake Mathes will surely dry up. SPORTING PAGE. Senor Watkins, our famous "toreador," has just returned from a series of successful engagements in Mexico. + LINE-UP FOR THE PHILO BASEBALL TEAM. Batsdorf, catcher; Schiedemantel, pitcher; Westerlund, first base; Patten, second base; Baker, third base; Hopkins, short stop; Reese, fielder; Biver, fielder; Evanson, fielder; Schumacher, substitute; De Long, substitute.

Lundberg and Suffle will be sure to pull down the 50 and 100-yard dashes. When Greene has developed his wind and lengthened his stride he will crowd Layton for first place in the mile. So far, in practicing for the Marathon, Mr. Kaup has used a motorcycle to keep him in sight of E. Thomas. King and Halsey are regular Greeks when it comes to throwing the discus. At last practice no attempt was made to measure the throws, as we had no donkey engine to handle the tape reel. Owen and O'Brien will do the hurdling. + CREW. Coach Jensen says: "Our prospects for crew are great, if we can get Dad Rindal to hollow out a cedar log for us. We have splendid material with Mellish, Suffle, Hopkins, Patten, Nevins, Owens and Watkins, with Philippi as coxswain. They have been practicing with a fir plank, which has proven something of a hindrance when it comes to speed. + CLASSIFIED ADS. Lost- An A No. 1, strong, manly heart. C. H., care O. A. C.

The work of the year 1912-13 has been a year of profit and pleasure to all members. The meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month. Many very excellent programs have been enjoyed during the year among which were a Longfellow program given on February 28th, and "An Evening With Great Women" on March 27th. On the 13th of March a very pleasing darkey program was given as a preparation for the coming of Booker T. Washington. These programs have consisted of readings, musical numbers and talks upon questions of the day. One feature of our work has been a study of the life and work of the men who have come to us in the lecture course. This Society always finds time to spend an evening at Miss Hay's cabin, where a part of the evening's program is always toasting weenies and marshmallows. At the Christmas season the Faculty room, decorated with holly and mistletoe, was the scene of a delightful program suitable for the season. The public program of the Society was given Friday morning, April 25th, in the Auditorium. The program consisted of musical numbers, and the play, "The Hour Glass," by W. B. Yeats. This Irish drama was thoroughly appreciated by all. An evening of music on May 8th at the home of Miss Hays is to be one of the joyous occasions of the year. On May 9th the first banquet of the H. L. S. was given. We had as our guests members of the Faculty and friends. As we disband for the year we think of the many pleasant days we have had together and wish the H. L. S. of 1913-14 a most prosperous year. Page One Hundred Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 104 ---------- CAST OF THE HOUR GLASS." Wiseman .................................................

HENRY HEFTY The immediate object of our Society is to train the boys to speak with ease and precision. Wherever one goes these days he meets with people who lack ability to express their thoughts clearly and forcibly. The business and professional world need men that know how to present their ideas in a manner that carries weight and results in conviction. A man with ideas but without effective expression is like a ship without a rudder,--he may move in practically any direction, varying perhaps, with each veering mental impulse, but he never gets anywhere. We want to overcome our limitations in the use of our mother tongue hence we have our programs specifically -adapted to accomplish this end. It is astonishing how quickly the boys have overcome their diffidence. There isn't a fellow in the Society but can get up and entertain us half an hour and make every minute count. This practice is rapidly preparing us to become effective speakers. There are some in our ranks who clearly have the capacity to grow into orators, and we expect that they will some day make their mark in the world of eloquence.

NELLIE HESS MOTTO-More Light COLORS-Old Rose and Cream Two school years of existence have brought the Delphian Literary Society to the place where it can walk alone, and talk in the language of its elders with considerable ease. Since its birth in October, 1911, it has grown with the growth of the High School, increasing rapidly in stature and independence. Not to any one person, but to the faithfulness of its officers and the loyal spirit of its members is this development due. Every Thursday at ten o'clock a meeting is held for half an hour, literary programs alternating with business meetings. On the latter occasions, the girls receive good practice from parliamentary drill and have now reached the stage where they have successfully represented the august members of the Faculty. If some of the measures which have been adopted in parliamentary drill were carried out, we should have an entrance to Society Hall through the roof and perhaps a new carpet for the Study Hall. Although the most striking trait of all the Delphians is their remarkably intelligent expression-thus distinguishing them from the ordinary "Beastie,"- they may be further identified by a peculiar marking: a small, silver triangle, worn on the left side of the blouse.

Don't get so absorbed in your School work that you can't look out of the window for a moment to catch a glimpse of sunsets, the bay and the mountains. Are you one of the students who have been in School all year and done nothing for Class or School? Just pure knowledge is a good thing, but the ability to get on your feet and talk, that a literary society gives you; the companionship and good feeling that meet you when you do your duty by your Class; the training in working with other people that comes from participation in athletics; the enjoyment for yourself and others that is derived from membership in a musical club,-are these not worth a great deal, too? We are glad to note that our Normal is growing so rapidly that several members have been added to the Faculty this year and we believe that the School Spirit is becoming better in proportion to the growth. Class Spirit and competition are mighty fine things to have in a School, especially if the rivalry does not degenerate into jealousy. Just one word more: Before we part let's forget any knocking or criticism we have indulged in this year and start being "square" instead. "Smile and the world smiles with you, Knock and you go it alone; For a cheery grin will let you in, Where the knocker is never known." Page One Hundred Ten ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 111 ---------- Settling Mr. Martin "I always use the whites o' 'leven eggs," announced Mrs. Andrews decisively. The Ladies' Aid gasped politely. "My, that's a lot o' eggs for one cake,, ain't it?" said Mrs. Hall. "I never use more'n nine." "Well, I've always said that anybody that used less'n 'leven eggs in that kind of cake was purty close." "Maybe they didn't have 'em to use," put in little Mrs. Gray gently. "Well, then; they hadn't better try to make angel cake," snapped Mrs. Andrews, as she bit off another length of thread and thrust it savagely into the needle. "They'd better do like the man the minister was tellin'. about last Sunday. Say, did you notice that button on the back of his coat? It was just a hangin' by one thread. I thought I'd die o' mortification. That man needs a wife if ever anybody did!" "Well, I should say he does," added Mrs. Davenport. "I'll bet that was the last clean handkerchief he had. If he's goin' to stay here in Hartville he's got to have somebody to look after him." "Who would it be?" asked Mrs. Hall. "There isn't- " "Yes, there is!" interrupted Mrs. Andrews. "There's Hannah Draper that lives over by Morton, would be just the one for him. She's not very good lookin', that's true, but she certainly can cook and sew. She's made three 'Log Cabins' since last Christmas." "Maybe Mr. Martin would like to have something to say about it," suggested Mrs. Gray. "Well, if he don't know a good thing like Hannah Draper when he sees it, this ain't no place for him," Mrs. Andrews announced with decision. "Let's make it business-like though. Is there a motion?" But before the motion could be given there was a hasty scramble on the back porch; the door flew open, and the Andrews twins burst in. "Maw, we're hungry!" they announced. Mrs. Andrews was plainly annoyed. She prided herself upon the rigid control which she was said to exercise over her children. "Stand right there by the door," she commanded, and then went on: "Let's hear your motion, Mrs. Davenport." The "aye" which followed it was almost unanimous. Little Mrs. Gray was the only dissenting voice. The twins stood through the vote and its discussion in bored solemnity. At this moment their chief concern in life lay in a freshly-baked loaf of bread, a golden pat of butter, and a crimson glass of jelly on the third shelf. "Now you can go, boys," their mother said leniently. "There's some fresh bread in the kitchen, an' a pitcher o' milk in the pantry." "My, how well trained your children are," said Mrs. Blake, after they had gone out. "Yes," smiled Mrs. Andrews, "It's all in beginnin' right. I've always made 'em toe the mark an' they know they have to." In the kitchen the twins were tasting the sweetness of forbidden fruit. "Say," said Bobby, as he bit down into a quivering lump of jelly, "What was them women talkin' about anyway?" "Sounded like they's talkin' 'bout the minister and that Hannah Draper that lives over by Morton," mumbled Billy. "Gee! " he added manfully, "I'd like to see 'em push anybody off onto me that way. An' Page One Hundred Eleven ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 112 ---------- Maw's goin' to ask 'em here for dinner next Sunday. I see where we go easy on the Brown Betty." "Say," volunteered Bobby. (Bobby's thoughts were usually gems when they came, painfully slow though they were, and always prefaced by "Say.") "Say, I'll bet the minister 'ud like to know about that. Le's write 'n' say we got some valu'ble infermation that we'll trade for them two white rabbits of his. I know where I can trade two rabbits fer a guinea pig, 'n' Tommy said he'd give us a third interest in his goat fer another guinea pig." Thus it was that among the next morning's mail for the Rev. Edward Martin was a very grimy note, which read: "Mr. Edward Martin, Preacher at the Pres. church. ......Dear Sir:-We know some valubul infermation about you which we will trade fer them two white rabbits of yours. Is it a go? respectfuly yours (SIGNED) Robert Andrews, William Andrews. And so it happened that late the next afternoon the twins walked down the minister's neat gravel walk, each carrying a rabbit in his arms, while the minister sat limply in his chair, trying to entangle himself from the maze of Ladies' Aid, Hannah Draper and Sunday dinner. "Merciful Heavens!" he said, to Mercury on the mantel; "I've got to be engaged to somebody before next Sunday or lose my chance. And I've got to make good; that's all there is to it! It all depends on next Sunday, and if the Ladies' Aid is down on me I might as well- . I might say it was Mrs. Adams, but ministers don't usually marry deaf old housekeepers. But," he added in desperation, "I've got to produce a fiancee between now and Sunday." Then as a happy thought struck him-"I'll write to Aunt Matilda. She'll know what to do!" When Miss Matilda tore open and read the letter she did not ap-pear surprised. That was not Miss Matilda's way. For twenty years this nephew had been writing his troubles to her and always she had proven equal to the occasion. This was only one of the many, so she sat down at once and wrote an answer; short, crisp, and characteristic to the letter. "My Dear Ned," it ran, "I really credited you with more brains. Why didn't you ask me to come on a visit? But since you didn't, I'll invite myself. All you need to do is to meet me with a great deal of tenderness, fatherly tenderness,- any kind, just so it's effusive, and if I'm not very wrong, Hart-ville will do the rest. I shall come Thursday on the four o'clock train. "Your loving aunt, "Matilda." For just a fraction of a second the Rev. Mr. Martin looked puzzled, then a great light broke over his face. "Aunt Matilda," he said with emphasis, "you're a brick!" When the four o'clock train pulled in to Hartville, the usual crowd of loafers was present to witness any excitement. Not that there had ever been any excitement, but there was always the possibility. The post-master stood in the doorway, leaning heavily against one side. The agent, fully realizing his importance, stood a little in advance of the others, a pencil over one ear, 'and the mail sack thrown carelessly over Page One Hundred Twelve ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 113 ---------- his shoulder, as though he were not fully aware that Mrs. Andrews' order for $2.48 worth of goods from the city was contained therein. The only outsiders were the minister, who stood eagerly scanning every window, and little Mabel Andrews with a basket of eggs which she was to exchange at the store. There was only one passenger to alight,-a little, young-old lady, with bright eyes and faintly flushed cheeks, who looked neither to the right or left but ran across the platform straight into the arms of the minister of the Hartville Presbyterian Church. "Ned, dear," she said very distinctly, knowing well that there were seven pairs of ears cocked to hear every word, "I've just been dying to see you!" Little Mabel Andrews had been all ears and eyes; and without waiting for more, she rushed for home, as fast as her chubby little legs and the basket of eggs would allow. "Maw," she shrieked, as she neared the kitchen. "Maw, he kissed her right there on the platform, with everybody a-lookin' on!" "Who kissed who?" inquired Mrs. Andrews excitedly. "The minister!" gasped Mabel. "Well, who did he kiss?" "A lady that got off the train. She run right up to him an' he grabbed her 'n' kissed her three times, 'n' she had purple flowers on her hat, 'n' once on each cheek, 'n' once on her forehead, 'n' she called him 'Ned, dear,' 'n' he took her valise, 'n' never looked at me. 'N' here they come now!" "Good land!" gasped her mother, her voice pitched three keys higher than usual. "I'll run over an' tell Mrs. Hall. We can see 'em from her front window. Mabel, if that bread gets too warm on one side you turn it 'round." But Mabel, who was her mother's own daughter, was already at the window. When Miss Matilda went past she was smiling her prettiest. "Ned, dear," she said, "you're saved. You're as good as married. I saw two women dodge behind those curtains as we went past." When they turned into the minister's trim white gate, Mrs. Andrews sighed. "Well, it's a real relief to me. I'm glad he's settled down. He's saved us a lot o' trouble. I'm glad he picked out a nice, sensible woman, even if her hat is a little mite gay. Yes, sir; it's a real load off my mind to get him settled down. I must run right over and tell Mrs. Blake. It's been such a worry to her." "Say!!' said Bobby when he heard the news, "That'll mean just two more pieces o' Brown Betty fer us." '13. Page One Hundred Thirteen ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 114 ---------- Mary Kathleen's Sin She must have been nearly three feet in height, not counting the big, fly-away, pink bow that fluttered and trembled on the very topmost lock of her very brown, very straight and very heavy hair. The color in her cheeks was like nothing in the world so much as the very pink ice-cream she was eating from the cone in her hand. Everything about her suggested the happy little girl of five-until you considered her eyes. They were big and brown and they looked out at the world with a great wonder and with something else-that something which made people call her a "queer child." Her name was Mary Kathleen. The "Mary" was for grandmother but the "Kathleen" was for herself. Today Mary Kathleen sat on the steps of the big, shady veranda with a far-away look in her brown eyes. Although she did not know it herself she was trying with all her strength to justify things in her small world. For there had been a long series of misfortunes which seemed to have hurled themselves upon her, together with the advent of Aunt Jane and the departure of her own mother for parts unknown. You see, Father and Mary Kathleen had decided, after solemn deliberation, that it was much better that Mother should go away for a few days of complete rest, even though it meant endless loneliness for the two members of the family left behind. Every afternoon of that summer, when the long, gaspy hours seemed to drag the very heaviest, Mother had always found something to help her little girl endure the heat. It might be a few hours spent in the very shadiest spot they could find; or it might be just a tall, thin, deliciously frosty glass of sweet, cold lemonade, that one could sip at for an hour. The entertainment of her niece did not seem to enter into Aunt Jane's estimation, as one of her duties; and so that afternoon Mary Kathleen had wandered around the house dismally. Looking for something cool to drink, she had finally come to the sideboard in the diningroom. There the first thing that caught her eye was a great, big, round, silver dollar. Mary Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief. How could she have thought that Mother had forgotten her? This meant an ice-cream cone and some beautiful red and white "marbles" to be had at the little store on the corner. When it was such a big piece of money, Mother must have meant some for each day of her absence. Why hadn't she thought to look on the side-board before? So Aunt Jane found her a few minutes later on the veranda. Beside her on the step was a striped bag, and in one hand she held several pieces of money. Aunt Jane had never learned the gentle art of "counting ten." She was, also, a firm believer in the force of "circumstantial evidence," and Mary Kathleen's case was tried, found guilty, and dismissed while the prisoner was still offering her judge a sticky "marble." "Mary"-(Aunt Jane thought the added "Kathleen" entirely unnecessary). "When did you get that money." "On the sideboard!" Mary Kathleen was considering with approval and not a little wonder the little sparks that seemed suddenly to dance in Aunt Jane's eyes. "What!"-Then, quietly-"Why did you take it!" This seemed an unnecessary question to the child, in the face of Page One Hundred Fourteen ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 115 ---------- the cone and "marbles"; still her Aunt Jane should receive nothing but politeness and consideration at her hands, so she answered: "Because it was hot and I wanted some ice-cream." "But you knew it was not your money?" Again this seemed the height of the ridiculous, but she answered patiently: "On, no; it wasn't mine!" Never had Mary Kathleen noticed before how Aunt Jane's curls seemed to bob around on her forehead. Now, Mother's curls-- "You will go straight upstairs and prepare yourself for bed. I don't want to see you again to-day--! To steal and then deliberately - oh!" Mary Kathleen sat quite still and looked at her aunt. She was racking her brain to know why she was to go to bed in the middle of the afternoon. "But, Aunt Jane-!" "Go, immediately! Do you hear?" Now she understood. Aunt Jane was tired already of taking care of a little girl and wanted her to go where she wouldn't bother any more. Her upper lip quivered and her eyes had a hurt, surprised look. But she must not only be Mother's little daughter, she must be Father's brave soldier-boy! And if Aunt Jane wanted her to go to bed then she must go at once. Only-she needn't have spoken in that way! All through the long hours of that afternoon she lay quietly trying to adjust herself to Aunt Jane's ideas. At seven, when the pangs of a very healthy appetite were beginning to be felt, she heard quick, swinging steps on the stair and Father came in. Behind him was Aunt Jane's thin, angular form. "What's this I hear? Not rebellion in the camp the first day of the general's leave?" "Oh, Father; I don't know-tell me what's the matter?" "Wise move! Always ask the questions yourself. Let the other fellow do the talking. But, little girl; why did you want that dollar?" Then the story came out. And Father, being wise beyond his years in the ways of small people, caught Aunt Jane just in time to stop her outburst and almost forcibly ejected her from the room. For there were a few words which he did not care to have explained to Mary Kathleen just then, such as "theft" and "unjustly accused." Then Mary Kathleen and Father went over the whole thing carefully and decided again that, although her ways might seem "passing strange" to them, it was only a failure to understand on their part, and must be met by never-failing politeness. Of his interview with Aunt Jane no account is given; but when Mary Kathleen came down to dinner, happy and beaming again, Aunt Jane came up and kissed her, saying simply: "I didn't understand, Mary. We will try to remember after this!" And Mary Kathleen, out of the sweetness and gentleness of her heart, opened the striped bag in her hand and bestowed the largest and stickiest of candy marbles upon Aunt Jane. BEATRICE BELL, '13. Page One Hundred Fifteen ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 116 ---------- Contest in Debate The preliminary contest in debate was held soon after the Christmas holidays, upon the question, "Resolved, That Judges Should Be Subject to the Recall." From a number of contestants, the following people were selected to take part in the final contest: Grace Barnes, Joyce Suffel, Martin Hevly and Philip Hogan. On account of ill health, Mr. Hevly left school, leaving only three contestants. The final contest was held in April. Each of the people taking part gave evidence of splendid training and a thorough knowledge of the question. Miss Barnes supported the affirmative alone, while the negative was upheld by Miss Suffel and Mr. Hogan. The prize of $40, offered by the Board of Trustees, was won by Miss Barnes, while a second prize of $20 was won by Mr. Hogan. Declamatory Contest The annual prize contest in declamation was held in the Auditorium Friday evening, April 25.

The sweets of victory were mingled with the bitter of defeat, and while the year cannot be regarded as one of triumph entirely, still there were some things that brought joy to the hearts of the loyal rooters of the Hill squad. The main stumbling block in the way of a good team was the fact that games were hard to get. Owing to the geographical location of Bellingham it is hard to bring teams here without a big expense and the various High Schools of the State did not appear anxious to play games with the Normal, taking the position that the Normal was out of their class and there was nothing to gain by beating them and much to lose by being defeated. Another fact was the late starting of many of the students and the small number of boys to choose from. This small number of boys made the maintenance of a second team impossible and as a result the first team obtained little or no defensive work before their contests. The victory that brought the most cheer to the Normal was the decisive defeat given to the local High School. There has always been a feeling of rivalry between these schools and to beat the High School made up in part for the defeat received at the hands of the Everett High School. This game was in the early part of the year and the team was composed nearly entirely of men who had never taken part in a hard contest, and the superior team work of Everett and the fact that their team were nearly all men of experience proved too much for the Normal. A game later in the season was refused by Everett, but competent judges of the game credited the Normal with having a better team than the Everett one. The game with the University of Puget Sound was a repetition of the experience with Everett; better team play and older and more experienced men won. This team was afterwards protested as playing professional men and four of their best men were removed from the team. Had these men been removed before the Normal game, the result might have been different. Burlington, Ferndale and Mt. Vernon were some of the small games won by the Normal. Captain Wallace Sutherland played at left half-back, taking part in every game and displaying marked ability throughout the year. His running with the ball in open field work was the equal of any halfback that played in Bellingham this year; and on the receiving end of a forward pass he was sure and safe. "Curly" Hawkins played the other halfback position and his work was of a high order. It was his first year behind the line and he was a consistent ground-gainer, both on line plunging and on end runs. Will Tucker and "Nork" Johnson played at the fullback position, Tucker taking part in the earlier games with good success, particularly in the High School games, where his line smashes had a lot to do with winning the game. His attention to the managing end of the team and a hard course of study kept him out of some of the later games. Johnson was late in entering school and while lack of practice did not allow him to show the true speed of which he is capable and which he displayed as a member of the fast Burlington team of the year before, he must be rated as one of the good backs of the Northwest. His weight and speed, coupled with the fact that he is an accurate thrower and catcher, made him valuable on either end of the forward pass. Page One Hundred Twenty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 122 ---------- Ross Wilson held down the job of quarterback and throughout the whole year played a steady game, running the team in good shape and getting all our of the team that was possible. His defensive work was good at all times and several times he averted touch-downs that seemed certain. Wilson did the most of the kicking for the team; and while the team was weak in punting, Wilson did some good work in that line. The Normal was particularly strong in end men, Dick Hanley and "Sam" Carver being the equals, if not the superiors of any ends that played in Bellingham during the year. Few gains of any distance were made around either end during the year, and very few pass formations were successful against them. Hanley has had more experience, and showed good judgment in defensive work all the season, being especially strong on going down the field under punts. An injury in one of the earlier games slowed him up somewhat, but taking his work as a whole, he must be given credit for a good year. Carver, playing his first year at football, showed the makings of a fine end. While lacking the experience of Hanley his work toward the end of the season was of high class. Knaack played part of the year at end and showed well in some of the games. His work in the Puget Sound game when he scored on them was good. The tackle positions were the hardest to fill of any on the team. The injury to "Col." Sloan in the first game of the year deprived the Normal of one of the best of their men and had be been able to play the whole year it would have been a big help toward strengthening the line. Sloane is big and strong and has the football instinct of following the ball and being in every play. Dahlquist played part of the season as tackle, but a broken hand received in U. P. S. game compelled him to drop out during the last of the season. Dahlquist has always played back of the line and changing to the line made it hard for him to play the best that he was capable of. His tackling at all times was good, and a little more experience at the tackle position would have made him a valuable man for the team. Gay Monks, as the left tackle, was one of the most valuable men on the team. Monks is a player of considerable experience and each year seems to make him better. At solving the plays of the opponents and breaking them up he is better than many University players. Monks carries the ball well and pulled off several very classy forward passes during the year. The lack of heavy men made the selection of the guard positions a difficult one. Ingman at left guard played a steady reliable game during the entire season and was always to be depended on to make a hole to advance the runner on line plays. Several men were used as the other guard but Bert Jones showed the best class of any of them. Jones, one of the lightest men of the team, played against men that outweighed him from thirty to fifty pounds, but held his own in good shape. Jones was also used as center in some of the games and his work as center was fine. In passing the ball and following the play he did well and on defensive play he was strong for a small man. Guy Noyes played as center in the earlier games and for his limited experience did well. His dropping out toward the end of the season weakened the center of the line somewhat as the Normal was not very well supplied with heavy men. Among the other men who helped to make the team were Olson, Walter Johnson, Emery and Yoder. All these men show form and only their lack of experience keeps them from making the team. Several of them by next year should be able to crowd some of the last year men very closely and gain for them Page One Hundred Twenty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 123 ---------- a position on the team. Little Danny Hall, the lightest man who turned out, showed fine form the first of the season and only the fact that he could not finish the season kept him from a regular job on the team. The hardest condition that the Normal school has to contend with is the fact that the majority of the students attend the school for only one or two years. This makes the building of a team very hard as a new team must be developed every year, while in the most of the schools against which the Normal competes the course of study covers four years. This is a big advantage to them, as they can maintain the same team from year to year. Considerable credit must be given the Faculty for their support of the game and the encouragement they gave to the team. A good athletic team is an advantage to any school, as it serves to draw the attention of the students of other schools to the successful school and is a tendency to attract them to that school. The Bellingham Normal School should be in a position to maintain a team equal to those of any of the secondary colleges of the state, and it is the hope of the school that such will be the result of the next year. To one who has never taken part in any games for a school it is hard to realize the help and encouragement that is given to the team by the presence of the student body at the contest. The Normal was very fortunate this year in having such a loyal bunch of rooters, who at all times stood by their team, both in the hours of victory and in the moments of defeat. Several of the team will not be in school for the next year and just what will be done in the way of a team is not certain. It is hoped that a team will be put in the field and be able to uphold the honor of the school. The Normal has never been able to put a team in the field that was superior to all of its opponents, but they have always stood for good straight football and have never encouraged the playing of students for the mere winning of games. The small number of men attending the school makes winning teams hard; but winning games is only a part of the sport, and good, clean football is to be more encouraged that than spirit of winning at all costs. The team and school owe much to the kindness of Dr. Turner, the Coach, for his very efficient coaching and encouragement. The school would make a wise move if they would endeavor to engage Mr. Turner's services as Coach for next year as he knows the old men who will be here in the fall; and he could shape up a good team. Page One Hundred Twenty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 124 ---------- [Image] JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Girls' Baskethall After a season of hard undaunted labor the members of the girls' basketball teams, the schedule of the Kline Cup games was announced. Each team felt that the prize should be theirs and each player determined to carry off the honors for his own Class. The Freshmen, with such stalwarts as Lehman and Egbert, backed by their trustworthy "team- mates," had a right to feel confident of the cup. The Sophs. were handicapped from the beginning by not having a larger turn-out in practice. Nevertheless they did their best. The Juniors, with "Ann" and "Cassie," true marksmen, and Stalberg and Taylor, able defenders of the oppenents' goal, aided by "Shorter" in center, put up a team of which the Class might well be proud The excellent team work of the Seniors won the admiration of enemy as well as friend. Williams and Stroup were "right there" when it came to throwing baskets and with Stevens as center and MacKechnie and Myron as guards, who were "on the job," they showed excellent form. The girls had practiced hard and were in good trim, thanks to the untiring efforts of their several coaches, when the first game of the series was called. The game was called at 7:30 and the Seniors and Freshmen began the contest. Both teams showed up well and it proved to be a hard-fought battle. The Freshmen won the victory by one point, the score being 11-10. As the Sophomores failed to appear, they forfeited the game to the Juniors. The second game proved as exciting as the first. Interest was beginning to manifest itself among the various classes. The Juniors brought out their colors, red and gray, but could not outshine the Seniors' gold and green! The contest between Sophomores and Seniors lacked "vim," as the Sophs. showed lack of team work and practice. The Seniors won 24-0.

The score was 16-4 in favor of the Juniors. Enthusiasm had been steadily growing and an intense rivalry was shown between Junior and Senior classes at the third game of the series. Both Classes were out in full force, colors and horns and yells! Both teams were in splendid condition. Never before had the Senior Class of the Normal put out such a formidable foe as this year. Juniors seemed to recognize this and every man went into the game determined that his team should win. The score was first 4-3 in favor of the Seniors at the end of the first half. At the end of the second half, a tie, 8--8. The Seniors made the first basket and the game was over with a score of 10-8 in favor of the Seniors. The Freshmen won from the Sophomores, also. Now the points stood in such a way that the next game fell to the Freshmen and Seniors. After some delay the game was played with a score of 7-4 in favor of the Freshmen. In the next game the Juniors won again from the Freshmen, making the final game fall to the Juniors and Seniors. Never was Class spirit so in evidence. The gymnasium was crowded; everyone was expectant. The game was a tussle from start to finish. The final wind-up showed a score of 7-6 in favor of the Juniors. This ended the series and won the cup for the Juniors. The line-up for the season was: Seniors Juniors Helen Stevens ..................center ...........

The material promised well from the start. With Sam Carver as coach, and such men as Nattrass, Tucker, Gibb, Wilson, Hanley, Knaack, Dahlquist, Riley, Munks and Davenport to choose from, who could question the strength of the machine turned out? The team was broken up twice by men leaving school, but when the time for a game rolled around Carver managed to have a quintet in good form. Nattrass played a bear of a game at forward while the other side was ably held up by Knaack and Dahlquist. Tucker played the pivot position all through the season and showed his usual good form. The guard berths were filled by Wilson and Hanley, who both played a good game. The hill team tied the Y. M. C. A. for first place in the city league, but lost the deciding game by a small margin, leaving the North Side High third. The decisive victory in football was keenly felt by the High and was accompanied by threats of what they would do to us in basketball. The two games that were played were fought hard from start to finish, but both were won by the Blue and White. As usual Ellensburg wanted a game until we were ready to start, then showed cold feet, but we were rather surprised that U. P. S. should yell, "Dates full," at the last minute and throw us down hard. This combination of affairs lost us our trip east of the mountains, after it was practically started. The boys worked hard, however, and deserve much credit. You can bet your last bottom dollar we will look for signed contracts next season. Page One Hundred Twenty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 129 ---------- [Image] TRACK TEAM Page One Hundred Twenty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 130 ---------- TRACK On May 27, the Normal and High School held the annual track meet at the Fair Grounds, which ended in a complete victory for the B. S. N. S. by the score of 72-54. Adams and Hall took first and second in the sprints, Adams breaking all city records. The mile was captured similar to the half- mile with Hawkins, Burpee and Odle. In the hurdles Kimball of the High School outclassed us. Only one point in them was made by Hall. We took the weights with King, Sloane and Cunningham behind them. The high jump was given to the High, for we entered no man; but a third place was taken in the broad jump by Adams. Richardson and Callow took first and second in the vault. Our relay team was "big league," simply outclassing the High. It was composed of Adams, Swartz, Hall and Hawkins. The meet was a success for us financially, for a goodly crowd turned out to witness our victory. From the dope this year :another victory can be seen in the triangular meet May 17th-Normal, North Side High and South Side High. The cross-country runs were started April 5th, in spite of the wintry weather, and the boys are now hard at work on their special events. The weights are not giving us much worry, with big Bob Yoder heaving the shot and discus, and there is nothing slow about Sloane, King and Olsen along this line. For the jumps and pole vault, much confidence is placed in Nattrass, Wilson, Burpee and Wood. The woods are simply full of distance men, such as Gibb, Emery, Burpee, Dahlquist and Nattrass. Some good records have been made by the men in training. Manager Danny Hall is the man we depend on to show what it means to sprint. Dan was so close to Adams at the finish last year that he could pat him on the back. Riley and Dahlquist will probably help him to hold up this end of the meet. All are working hard under the direction of Carver and expect to "do things." + + Chuckanut Marathon The plans for the contest this year have not yet been completed. It is expected, however, that the contest will be a good one in every way. The boys have shown a great deal of enthusiasm and are turning our well for practice. We are hoping that even a better record will be made this year than last. The idea of a race up Chuckanut Mountain was first suggested by Dr. Mathes. A committee, Messrs. Philippi, Patchin and Earl Forrest, were appointed to arrange details for the race. The race was to be of a three-fold nature: 1. Individual prizes for speed contestants. 2. Class team, consisting of five members, who should make best record for class. 3. Average percent for Class which should register largest percentage of members at the top of the mountain. 1. Prizes-(a) A $22 gold watch; (b) An $11 traveling bag; (c) A white sweater. 2. Class team-Herald Cup. 3. Percentage-Official Normal pennant. Page One Hundred Thirty ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 131 ---------- Nine o'clock Saturday morning found the campus and front steps dotted with members of our School and down-town people, eagerly awaiting the crack of the pistol. Some were talking of politics or friends far away, but the question that pressed the heart of almost every enthusiastic onlooker was: Who would be victorious? At the same time seventeen of the strongest and most ambitious boys were in the doctor's office undergoing a rigid examination under the supervision of Dr. Morrison. After some excitement on the side of the participants there were seventeen pairs of well developed lungs, each of which it was hoped and expected would bring home a gold watch or some other useful article. At twenty minutes past nine our boys, standing with tip-toes to the line, with excited nerves and swelling hearts, were anxiously awaiting the click of the pistol. Click! Click! Away they went, on a ten mile tour to the top of Chuckanut and back. The last we could see of them was just the mere outline of a shadow turning down Garden street. The steady, easy motion with which our boys sped on was marked by hundreds of enthsiastic onlookers, who lined the boulevards and parks along the trail. The course was marked out with little white flags with B. S. N. S. imprint stamped upon the center. With the first three miles left in the background, the foot of Mt. Chuckanut confronted those who thought they could climb Mt. Everest for a "morning's exercise." But two miles of Chuckanut and they would want an early start on a Monday morning in November before trying anything else. Many steep and hard spots of the rough earth did our boys find while carefully picking their winding way up the zigzag trail of that mountain side. "At last!" the applauding shouts filled the mountain tops, Sloane rounded the crest of Chuckanut, followed two minutes later by Gibson. Soon this was rapidly repeated by the entire number of our seventeen contestants. We turn now to see what has become of our friends in the vale far below. To-be-sure! they are anxiously but patiently awaiting the return of the dear ones, who went on their errand to the mountains. Just one hour, 28 minutes, 10 seconds from the click of the pistol, Carl Kalberg crossed the line with the gold watch-not in his hand, but in sight-and with anticipations of hearty congratulations from a little girl in La Conner. Forty-eight seconds later he was followed by Odle, who won second prize. Nine seconds later followed Sloane, who won third prize. All the boys came in in good condition, except Sloane, who suffered some pain from a dislocated ankle, while rounding one of those precipices so often found along the Chuckanut thoroughfare. The Herald Cup was won by the Freshman Class. The Freshman team consisted of King, Olsen, Smith, Hawkins and Sloane. The Tenth Grade of the Training School won the pennant, by having a higher percentage of the class registered at the top of Chuckanut during the day. All contestants finished the race, except two boys from the High School department, who probably had notereceived a sufficient amount of training prior to the contest. J. L. S. Page One Hundred Thirty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 132 ---------- [Image] BASEBALL TEAM Page One Hundred Thirty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 133 ---------- The National game is on the progressive list this year. The boys have been provided with swell new suits by the Student's Association. The suits are blue with white trimmings. What team could fail to do its best with these classy suits? Ross Wilson is busy arranging the schedule. The schedule to date: April 26.-B. H. S. May 10.-Ferndale H. S., in Ferndale. May 24.-B. H. S. The Manager is trying to sign Sedro-Woolley for May 3rd and the U. P. S. for May 17th or 31st. The University of Puget Sound seems to be afraid to meet the Normal, as has been the custom. Our team promises to be unusually strong this year. Sutherland and Hill will do the work on the mound. They are both hard workers, with lots of speed. Manager Wilson seems to be the only man to show up well behind the bat. He is an experienced player and adds a tower of strength to the team. The infield is especially strong. Tucker at first base is playing his last and third year on that bag. Nattrass at second and Jones at short are two Bellingham High stars and will greatly strengthen the infield. Fritz Anderson at third is a wonder for his size and is not so small at that! In the outfield will be Reed, Sandberg, Knaack or Dahlquist, all good men, tried and true. We feel that with the support of the student body the season will be the most successful in the history of the institution. FRIDAY HARBOR GAME, APRIL 19 B. S. N. S. 12-Friday Harbor 2. The boys began the season strong by taking Friday Harbor into camp, 12-2. Hill pitched up well for six innings and then was taken out to let Wallie get a little speed out of his system. Special mention should be made of the work of Ross Wilson behind the bat and of Anderson at third base. Although the team had not been practicing long the boys showed mid-season form in the field, but at the bat a lack of practice as eleven strike-outs were chalked up against the Normal. But hits came when they were needed and twelve runs were gathered in the game.

ARTHUR SMITH, C. HAWKINS With this issue the Students' Association closes a very successful year, considering the difficulties under which it has labored. The second quarter Mr. Noyes, Messenger Business Manager, dropped the work to accept a position in a local bank. He has an excellent successor in Mr. Sonner; Mr. Hevly, the bookkeeper, was forced to leave school in account of ill health. Miss Tacy Clark has proved,very capable in filling his place; then, in the middle of the school year, Mr. Sutherland resigned as President of the Association. The office is well handled by the Vice-President. Among the duties of the Students' Association's Board of Control is the financial support of the Messenger, whose Faculty Advisor is Miss Bowen; of the store managed by Mr. Sloane and Mr. Anderson, where the students purchase all school supplies at cost; athletics and the Chuckanut Marathon. Several social functions in the form of frolics, picnics and receptions are given by the Association. We pride ourselves on being the first student organization in the State to adopt the primary plan for election of officers, instead of the general nomination system. This plan proved very successful, interesting to the Faculty, and instructive to the Student Body. In brief, the plan was this: I. All officers shall be elected by dlirect primary. II. Names of eligible candidates receiving the highest number of votes at the primary shall be be placed on the regular ballot. III. No candidate's name may appear twice on ballot of regular election. IV. In the regular election the candidates shall be placed on the ticket for that office for which he receives the highest number of votes in the primary. V. Any member may be nominated if a petition is signed by at least twenty-five members of the Association. VI. No student may sign more than one petition for the same office.

In musical circles the Choral Club plays the chief part. The girls meet every Wednesday with Mrs. Thatcher as Director. The Club sang one morning in Assembly some numbers which were very pleasing and furnished one number for the Christmas program. The big work of the year was "The Bells of Elfarnie," operetta or cantata. The score was very difficult, but after much practicing was put on as one of the most enjoyable programs of the year. The stage was beautiful and the music with the setting was very exquisite. By request the program was repeated in assembly. The Club is now working on the music for Commencement, which promises to be very good. We have heard rumors of a Boys' Glee Club but nothing has been seen or heard of them. There is also a wide-awake orchestra in the school, of about thirty pieces, under the direction of Mrs. Engberg, which has given us some excellent music. They have also had the honor (with some others of the orchestra from outside) of playing for some noted artists: Maude Powell, violinist; and Mr. George Hamlin, a noted tenor of New York. Beside this they have given two concerts which were very succuessful. Many students of the school are very much interested in dramatics and some very enjoyable plays have been given. The Thespians have given one program of two plays, and immediately went to Friday Harbor, where they won fresh laurels. The other society, Hays Literary Society, entertained us royally, one Friday morning in assembly with a program, the latter part of which was one of the deepest little plays given this year, and also one of the hardest to act. To their credit, let it be said, that everyone was impressed and thoroughly enjoyed their splendid work. + + FRIDAY MORNING PROGRAMS The entertainment and instruction furnished by these programs cannot be estimated. The students were indeed fortunate in being able to see the splendid views of different parts of the world and hear the talks given by such well-known men as Dr. Chas. Sheldon, Dr. S. D. Gordon and many others. Lectures, accompanied with stereopticon views, were given upon Yellowstone National Park, Southwestern United States, Yosemite Valley, Ireland, Italy, our own Mount Baker, Mexico and many other regions of interest. Very interesting talks were given by Dr. and Mrs. Mylrae, missionaries, who were home on a visit from Arabia. The speakers appeared in the Arabian costumes and made us acquainted with the peculiar and oftentimes sad customs of these strange yet fascinating people. It was with great delight that we welcomed Mr. Charles Rice, one of America's well-known tenor singers. His singing surpassed even our expectations. We are proud of the fact that many of these programs were given Page One Hundred Forty Four ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 145 ---------- Choral Club Page One Hundred Forty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 146 ---------- by our own Faculty, one by a member of the Senior class, and some by ministers and teachers of our city. We are deeply indebted to Mrs. R. W. Smith, who gave us a number of readings in such a charming way, and to Dr. Mathes, Mr. Gebaroff, Mr. Epley, and Mrs. McCully for their lectures; to Rev. J. R. Macartney, and to Miss Hainke, of the High School. Dr. Charles Sheldon was given an enthusiastic welcome and he repaid us well with a talk that was not only interesting, but inspiring. Our last speaker, Dr. S. D. Gordon, will not be easily forgotten. The deep impression he made is proved by the fact that the Senior Class adopted as their motto the central thought of his discussion: "To know is good; To do is better; To be is best." The Training School has twice rendered attractive programs, one at Christmas time and on May 1. That these are much enjoyed is shown by the way we look forward gladly to the time when one is to be given. The Hays' Literary Society entertained us one morning with the play "The Hour Glass." The annuncement that the Choral Club would give the Cantata, "The Bells of Elfarnie" was greeted with joy and the rendering showed good training and ability. Space cannot be given to tell of each in detail but it is sufficient to say that each program was well attended and liked by the students. + + One of the greatest advantages we enjoy, for which we should express our thanks and appreciation to the Lecture Course Committee, is the Normal Lecture Course. In no other way would we have the privilege of meeting and hearing these, the best of America's men and women. The numbers this year were: Mme. Davenport-Engberg, violin concert; Mrs. Hayden, dramatic recital; Representative J. Adam Bede, "Our Nation, Its Progress and Problems"; Ex-Governor Hoch, of Kansas, "A Message From Kansas"; Strickland Gillilan, poet and humorist; Dr. Harvey Wiley, "Pure Food". Some extra numbers were: Frederick Search, 'cello concert; Mme. Labadie, "To-morrow." One of the greatest advantages which all Bellingham people enjoyed through the instrumentality of the Normal, was the opportunity of hearing Booker T. Washington. This rare treat was open to all, free of charge, as the expenses were met by subscription. Mr. Washington was given a very enthusiastic reception and fully repaid the earnest attention accorded him.

Page One Hundred Fifty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1913 - Page 154 ---------- [Drawing] Sehome Hill There is a fellow baching upon Twenty-first street, An enterprising Freshman bachelor; In the culinary art he excels in but one feat, To the frying of flapjacks I refer. He stirs his flapjack batter morning, noon and night, Then fries them up in smoking 'margerine. But one morning, breakfast pending, batter stirring, an affright Seizes this young chef-no 'margerine. Long and hard he tho't upon the subject of his eats, As he stood and beat his flapjack dough. When a new idea struck him, there upon his beat- "How stupid of me; I'll use buttero." A smile come on his countenance as he reached for the plate: "Great Caesar! Empty!" Now what shall I do?"' His Freshman eyes explored the room, but to reveal his fate- No butter! no flapjacks! no breakfast! was in view.

With spirit undaunted no failure she fears, As she glances down the dim vista of years. The world lies before her, her future is bright; With courage she'll strive on the side of the right. And loved ones with pleasure, half mingled with pain, Smile as they live o'er their school days again, And sigh as they pray that the Fates may be kind To the girl who is leaving "Old Normal" behind. Oh! brave little graduate, all gladsome, to- day In Life's fitful drama great parts you may play, May you always be ready with courage and love To meet the tasks set by the Teacher above.

Oh. our Normal, the gemn by the ocean, 'Mid forests of fir-tree and pine, Our hearts bring to thee their devotion, Thy impress wrill strengthen with time. For the service of years we revere thee, For the hearts that were noble and true; The future will serve to endear thee, Three cheers for the White and the Blue! The future will serve to endear thee, Three cheers for the White and the Blue! IVhen our games seem to be dishearted, And defeat seems to stare in our face, The power then to bring us to struggle Is desire to give our School her place. Then bring your pennants with you, Wave them for victory and be true; The Normal, the Normal forever! Three cheers for the White and the Blue! The Normal, the Normal forever! Then hurrah for the White and the Blue! Page Twenty ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 21 ---------- HISTORY OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL. The original building was erected in 1896, the site of ten acres having been given by two land companies. September 6, 1899, the school was formally opened. The Faculty consisted of six members, three more being added during the year. In 1899-1900, two hundred and sixty-four studlents were enrolled in the Normal Department, and eighty in the Training School. In 1901 an addition was made to the Training School, and in 1907 the Science Annex was built. In 1913 a building was erected for the Manual Training Department. On January 26th, of the present year, the beautiful new Training School Annex was thrown open to the public. There are now five hundred and eighty-eight students enrolled in the Normal School, and thirty-six members of the Faculty. Page Twenty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 22 ---------- Departments ENGLISH-The English Department offers a course in English Grammer, Composition, English Methods and History of English Literature. One Semester of the Senior year is devoted to a study of Browning and Shakespeare; the other gives a study of Tennyson, or of some great movement in English Literature. There are two teachers in charge of this department. It gives introduction in Declamation and Oratory, besides a study of the Drama, and trains students in Debating. EDUCATION- In this department, courses in Psychology, Methods of Teaching, School Supervision, and Child Study are given, in addition to History and Philosophy of Education, which are required subjects in the Senior year. PHYSICAL TRAINING-All Gymnasium work and Athletics are under this department, as well as courses in Physical Culture Methods, and Plays and Games. Gymnasium work is required of all students except Seniors. WOODWORK AND PRINTING-Woodwork includes a study of the different woods, design, construction and wood finishing. Printing is proving very encouraging and profitable, as the students print nearly all of the programs, tickets, and pamphlets used by the School. MUSIC-History of Music, Music Methods, Advanced Sight Reading, and a special course of one year to Supervisors of Music, are offered by this department. DRAWING AND MANUAL TRAINING-There are two teachers in this department. It gives object drawing, water color, perspective, advanced color work, methods of teaching, drawing and hand-work. Metal work is proving a very popular addition to the department. HOME ECONOMICS-Instruction is given in Cooking and Sewing by this department. It is in the charge of two teachers. The course in Cooking includes the buying, cooking and serving of foods, and the preparation of rural school lunches. In Sewing, instruction is given in the cutting, fitting, and making of garments. LATIN AND GERMAN-- Four and one-half years of Latin, with one-half year of methods of teaching the subject are offered by this department. German is the only modern language taught. A three-year course is given. Credit may be obtained for ability to read or write Swedish, or Norwegian. MATHEMATICS-There are three teachers in this department. In addition to High Page Twenty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 23 ---------- School Mathematics, special work is given in the teaching of the subjects. Two years of College Mathematics are offered. HISTORY-This department gives courses in American History, Civics, English History, Modern History, Nineteenth Century History, Political Economy, and State Manual. A half year in methods of teaching History is also offered. A three thousand word essay is required for Political Economy. It must be on an economic subject, of present day interest. BIOLOGY-Botany and Zoology are included in this dlepartment. A systematic course in Botany is given. Also methods of teaching the subject. One year's work in Zoology is offered. PHYSICAL SCIENCES-This department offl'ers courses in Chemistry, Geology, Geography, Agriculture, Physics and Astronomy. The laboratories are very well equipped, the equipment of the Physics laboratory being valued at over twelve hundred dollars ($1200.00). A great deal of laboratory work is required. It is supplemented by field work and lectures, which are illustrated with lantern slides. TEACHING STAFF-- There are thirty-six members in the Faculty, graduates of the best colleges and universities of the land. Many of them have given up positions with larger Eastern schools, in order that the might see the Western country; and they now have decided to make their homes here. TRAINING DEPARTMENT-- In the ten grades of this departIment there iare two hundred and ninety-nine pupils enrolled. The executive force consists of a Superintendent of the Training School, an(l a Sulervisor for each department. ATHLETICS-Great interest is taken in the Athletics of the School. Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track, and Tennis, are the chief sports. For participation in any, scholarship is prerequisite. ORGANIZA TIONS-The chief organization is the Students' Association, which assumes general management of the Messenger, Athletics and the Book-store. There are also many excellent literary societies, a Choral Club, and a very large Y. W. C. A. in the School. Page Twenty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 24 ---------- Page Twenty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 25 ---------- An Appreciation TO MISS HAYS AND DR. DEERWTESTER, our Faculty advisers, we owe the deepest gratitude for the interest, enthusiasm, and never tireing energy, with which they have worked for our benefit during the past year. Both have been willing to devote much of their time in solving our problems, and in giving help and comfort to those in need of advice. We are glad to have had this opportunity of coming in closer contact with two such noble characters, and as we scatter to our respective fields, each and every one will take with him the inspiration which they have unconsciously given us. May they reap the reward of these far-reaching influences. Page Twenty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 26 ---------- Page Twenty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 27 ---------- Faculty ELIAS A. BOND, A.B.- I declare if here isn't a page of Elias Bond's old dairy. Here, read it, Samanthy. May 1.--I'm thirteen years and a half old, and I live in Oregon. I can lick most of the fellers in school. May 2.-Went fishing to-day, but most every day I have to go to school. He hasn't lost some of his old tricks yet, but besides being interested in fish, he is also interested in "Bonds." WILLIAM L. MOODIE, A.B.- Now we come to the Professor of Biological Science: I'm told that when he was a little curly-headed fellow-- oh, yes, Mandy, he had long, golden curls when he was a boy- -he used always to be chasing grasshoppers and bugs. Oh, yes; he is still interested in such things, but he would rather talk about his baby, baby, BABY! HARRY C. PHILIPPI, B.S. Here's Mr. Philippi. He's a great man for society. He teaches Physics, and one of the students told me that he is a very smart fellow. You can always find him at work, helpling soIme one or trying some new experiments. They say he even works nights stuldying the stars with that big telescope of his. IDA A. BAKER, A.M., B.S. Yes, Martha, this is Miss Baker, and a good picture it is of her too. She has planted all the shrubs and bulbs in this yard. She's done a lot for suffrage. She teaches Mathematics, and not only that, but she can play the part of red cross nurse to all the poor animinals around. MINERVA LAWRENCE, A.B.- Well, here's another picture- Miss Lawrence. In 1909 she came here to teach Domestic Science. My sympathies are with her, because I know what it is to teach girls to cook, but she loves to do it. Besides this, she teaches some of the boys to cook for the Cafeteria, and serves dinner to all the trustees and everybody who visits the school. LAURA LA VERNE KNOWLES-Now, I want you to look carefully at this picture. There's a lot to admire in Miss Knowles. She's been the Assistant in Home Economics since 1911, so I guess that accounts for her work in tatting. We hope she will be with us always, but somebody told me the other day that she was planning on being a foreign missionary. FLORENCE FOX THATCHER-This is our Music Teacher, Mrs. Thatcher. She's had charge of the Vocal Music since 1910. One of her pupils told me she was the best music teacher she believed there ever was. I don't know if that is true, but I'm sure that she is very interested in tones. MRS. TILLET-Here's a picture of our writing teacher. She teaches the Palmer System, and believe me, she knows how to write, Mr. Bever said so. ADA HOGLE, B. Ped.- Yes, this is their artist, Miss Hogle. She can draw and paint anything. She's been there since 1902. I met her one time on one of my visits to the Normal, and it did seem good to talk to her. She makes all the students admire and respect her. She used to bring oranges and apples to school to use as models to draw. Page Twenty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 28 ---------- Page Twenty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 29 ---------- J.M. EDSON-Now, I come to the end of my album, and this last picture, Samanthy, is that of Mr. Edson. He's a noisy (?) man. Why, don't you know what that thing is he always carries? It is a pair of field glasses he uses to study birds. He knows everything there is to know about them. If you don't know who this is, why, he's the man who takes all our money,-the Registrar, LUCY B. NORTON, A.B.- You think you'd like to go to school to this woman, Marthy. I think you would too. She doesn't teach the little people very much herself. She has her supervision of the practice teachers, who teach in the training department. We all wish that each one of us had the power to work as faithfully as she has, and prove so much value to others. ANDREW GEBAROFF, A.B.- Here's the man who loves to handle the saw and hammer. When he was just a little fellow he always wanted Santa Claus to bring him a hammer and lots of nails for Christmas. He's been with this institution since 1912, but never had the courage to start a Cement Class before. Do you blame him? His Cement Class meets at 6:45 a.m. NELLIE A. GRAY-Yes, this is Miss Gray, the Dean of Women. She's the one we get our excuses from,-that is, if she thinks we have a good enough excuse. She's interesting in other things too. She likes to see good plays, and is very enthusiastic over defective children. She is going to New York. MABEL G. SHEAFER-Yes, this is a picture of Mabel Sheafer. She's been here since 1910, and was hired to straighten people out. I guess she has taught her Classes in Gymnastics every kind of folk dancing there is; at least, I have seen some of her girls practicing every step I know. By the way, do you think there is anything in that report that Miss Sheafer intends leaving the teaching profession? ANNA GOODALE, R.N. of Iowa, B.Di.- And if here isn't Miss Goodale. I remember her well. She always used to dress in white, and look so nice. She came here in 1913, and we would all feel very sorry if she should leave us. She's the good friend, comforter, nurse, and the doctor of the students. THOMAS E. HULSE, A.B., B.Ped. Do you remember Mr. Hulse? He was as tall and thin as he could be. He used to be a County Superintendent, so I guess he keeps his pupils pretty busy, for he knows just what they will need when they go out to teach. We are just wondering which baby is the nicer,--Mr. Hulse's or Mr. Moodie's? SANFORD CARVER-Who's this? Coach Carver! No, he hasn't that scholastic air, but as the boys say, that scholastic air "doesn't carry the ball up the field, or make a touchdown," that what he can do, and he knows how to inspire others to do likewise. FRANCIS IV. EPLEY, A.B.- This great Professor of Science is Mr. Epley. You can find him most any time looking for bugs, or taking pictures of something he wants to talk about. He's been with this institution since 1899, but I don't expect he'll be here always, for I've been expecting him to go into the business of manufacturing perfume. Page Twenty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 30 ---------- Page Thirty ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 31 ---------- M. BELLE SPERRY, A.B., A.M.- Yes, Marthy, this is Miss Sperry, who teaches Literature. When studying Browning, her pupils get just as interested in the lesson, as you would if some one told you about a fierce dragon. She doesn't teach literature all the time. This year she took a trip to Europe. MARY L. JENSEN, A.B., M.Di. Ah, here is Mary .Jensen's picture! How she does enjoy Latin! She's been here since 1907, and during that tilne has gained many followers for Caesar. Besides this, Miss Jensen is greatly to be praised for her work with the Philomathean Literary Society, DORIS B. SMITH, B.O. This lady is Doris Smith. When she was just a little midget, she used to tell the children how "'The goblins will git you," until none of them dared go out at night. When she goi older they were always wanting her for school entertainments and such like. OLIVE EDENS, B.S. This is Miss Edens, -our "choice" member of the Faculty. She's the most ambitious person I ever met. She knows more about literature and poetry than has ever appeared in print. What do I mean? Why, she writes things herself! Her Browning Class are sure there will be "a one and infinite moment" in all her poems. GERTRUDE WORDEN, A.B., A.M. Yes, this is Gertrude Worden. You and she were playmates back in Michigan, weren't you? My, but there was a sight of difference between you! Her hair never blew around wildly, as yours did, and her hands were so small, and were always clean. She makes her literature Classes so interesting, if you study ANNE STORM, B.L. Oh, yes; I remember Miss Storm well. I went to High School to her, back in Wisconsin. She's the greatest woman to study I ever saw. Any time of the day that she is not teaching a class, she can be found in the library, deep in some history or other book MARY C. BO WEN, A.B., A.M.- And now we've come to Miss Mary Howen, -who is the Assistant in German and English. She's a pleasant little body. The students say "Rare gifts come in small packages." She's a comfort to the Freshmen for they feel that she isn't so far above them that they dare not make their timid requests. JAMES BEVER, B.Ped., A.B., A.M. Samanthy, did you ever notice how many of the men who amount to something are sons of farmers? Here's this picture of James Bever now-just brought to mind that he was a farmer boy, "hack in Ioway." He's been here since 1909, and I guess folks here hope he'll keep right on instructing them in History, Sociology, General Thinkology, etc., ROSE BAXTER, A.B.- This one is Rose Baxter. She teacher Psychology. What she doesn't know about children isn't known by anyone else, I guess. Miss Baxter says she can think of nothing more pleasant than to remain in Bellingham and spend all of her time and energies upon Psychology, which she thinks is the finest course given. Page Thirty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 32 ---------- Page Thirty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 33 ---------- WILBUR H. PATCHIN, A.B.- Here's Mr. Patchin, the Supervisor of the High School Department. He's a very neat, smart man, and must be a very good example for his "little beasties." Everyone who knows him likes him very much, even his practice teachers. MARGARET McCARTHY, A.B., A.M.- Well, here's a new picture,-Miss McCarthy. She came this year to supervise History and Arithmetic in the four upper grades. She has such a pleasant disposition that a person just enjoys teaching under her. M. ETHEL BROWN-Here is a woman who assists in taking care of the Primary children. She has been here since February, 1913, and knows just how to manage those little children. I'm sorry she has bought that graphophone, for now I'll have to wait a longer time for that "idea course of study," that I have been expecting her to work out. MINNIE I. TERMAAT-Here is a picture of Mrs. Termaat. I'm sure you all know her. She is Superior of the Grammar Grades. Did you ever hear her children sing? She plays the piano while they sing, and you can hear them all over the building. I don't know what you might think, but it seems to me that she must be a Socialist. IDA A. FELT, Ph.B.- Here's the woman who has charge of the children in the Second Intermediate Department. She's been here since 1910. You don't have to be with her very long before you know that she is from the South, for she will soon be telling you about "My Old Kentucky Home." MAUDE DRAKE-Yes, Samantha, perhaps you did know Maude Drake before. She went to this school herself for several years. Now she's Supervisor of the First Intermediate Department. She is one of the jolliest among the Faculty. She can sing, she can paint, she can dance, all kinds of dances, including the Tango. CATHERINE MONTGOMERY-Here's a smart woman! Every student likes her. Her name is Catherine Montgomery. She's a great reformer. You've perhaps read some of her articles in the magazines. I guess that is why she has so many admirers. She has had charge of the Primary children in this institution since 1899. MABEL ZOE WILSON, A.B., B. L. S.- Mabel was a happy little maid, always ready for every bit of fun a-going, unless it caused a slight bit of disturbance in the library, and then it must be stopped. She's been in that library since 1902. She can put her finger on the book,-the exact page and paragraph,-of any topic you wish to find in the library. If you just want a synopsis of it she can give it to you. She knows everything! EFFIE SANDS, A.B.- You think you would like this one, Marthy? You would be a queer little girl, if you didn't, for all the students like Miss Sands. She's been the assistant in the library since 1912. When a child, her one wish was to be a very tall and majectic looking woman. She failed in that, but grew up as kind and obliging, as she had wished to be tall.

CLASS HISTORY. September 6, 1912, was the auspicious day that we, as Juniors, entered the "Institution on the Hill." We came from the four points of the compass and, behold, we were two hundred and four strong. To the old student it was amusing to watch the strange girls trying to find their way about the building. So many new things, "Teachers' Committees," "Rooms," blanks to fill, Training School, many rules and regulations, and "advice" to return programs when signed, don't loiter in the halls, and "Return your absence cards within a week," altogether tending to make a very complex and bewildering condition of affairs. Those who knew how to do these things, stood by and watched, though they were many times frantically seized and interrogated as to "Where is S. 22?" "Where is Miss Norton's office?" "Who is Mr. Eply?" "Say, how do you remember where your classes are?" "My, but I'm homesick!" "Isn't the Training awful?" and various inquiries of like In a week's time the routine was fairly well established and "The joy of working," of which Kipling speaks, was made possible to all. The first agitated was Class organization. It would be hard to find better and more competent persons than those chosen by the Juniors, to conduct the affairs of their organization. For President, they elected Glen Hill; Secretary and Treasurer, Ysabel Patton; Vice- President, Helen Boucher; Sergeant-at-Arms, Robert Yoder; Class Teachers, Miss Shaefer, and Mr. Eply. The first venture in the Social realm was at the beginning of the football season, when we entertained the Everett High School boys. It Page Thirty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 37 ---------- was a most unique affair, the idea of the football game being carried out in every detail. The Character Party, given in the Society Hall, was a revival of College spirit, Colonial days, and loved characters of literature. The Junior Reception, given on March 14, was a grand success from beginning to end. After a most enjoyable program given in the Auditorium, we adjourned to the music room, where several members of the Faculty stood in receiving line and assisted us in giving our colleagues and honored guests, the Seniors, a hearty welcome. The fact that we won the Kline Cup is evidence that the Juniors were strong in athletics. Even though our girls were most enthusiastic, we did not gather laurels of fame alone, for the boys also made good in their athletic work. The Jubilee given at the Aftermath Club in honor of our girls' Championship game, will long be remembered as one of the events of the year. Last but not least, come the Class Plays, "An Interrupted Proposal," by Arlo Bates, and "How the Vote Was Won," by Cicely Hamilton, were presented. There was an excellent caste of characters to entertain an enthusiastic audience and even though we were mere Juniors, every one agreed that we were some Stars. This, our record as Juniors, was but a foretaste of what was to come to us as Seniors. On returning to school in September, 1913, we reorganized, electing Emma Woodhouse, President; Martin Olsen, Vice-President; Nellie Tegland, Secretary; Clara McKenzie, Treasurer; Ed. Nattrass, Sergeant-at- Arms. With these officers to lead us, and being possessed of that for which we are all noted,- enthusiasm,--we decided that we of 1914 were in for a good time. To get every Senior in the game, we started out right by giving a Senior Mixer. We all wore or rode our hobbies, and every one joined in the merriment. Individually, we are keen about traditions, therefore collectively we set the ball of "Senior Traditions" rolling. Our Class Colors, Green and Gold, enough to inspire the heart of even the newest Freshie with admiration, are to be handed down to all Senior classes for ever and aye. The Senior Reception to the students and Faculty of the school, the traditional date for this being the second Saturday in November, lived up to its traditional reputation and was one of "the" events of the season. The boys? Oh, yes! We may just be proud of our boys, they won the basketball championship of the school. There are solemncholy days for Seniors. With the passing of the first Semester we lost those of the Mid-year Class making a great gap in our ranks. It was not quantity that we miss but quality. January twenty-first was election of officers and with these officers at the head, the Senior Class is making one great big shining example for future generations and the Class of June, 1914, will go down in history as the largest, most wide-awake and enthusiastic class that ever graduated. Now, as I write and think over the events to come, there is no doubt that the Class of 1914 will make its closing acts of the year the best in history of the school. Progress being the watchword of the age, we have aimed to mount higher than preceding classes. To the Class of 1915, we leave this history; may they ponder over it, follow its principles and build higher than the last. E. B., '14.

Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals or forts. -LONGFELLOW. As all great questions of human or social welfare have been brought about through the great educational institution,-the School,-so shall the problems of Universal Peace be brought about through the work of our public school. The idea of Universal Peace started away back as far as the golden ages of Greece and Rome, and there has been a force at work toward that end throughout the ages, till the present day. We have come to the conclusion that the school is the greatest agent that can be used for Peace. Horace Mann, the great educational reformer of the last century, said: "If a thousandth part of what has been explended in war and preparing its mighty engines had been devoted to the development of reason and the diflusion of Christian principles, nothing would have been known for centuries past of its terrors, its sucerings, its impoverishment, and its demoralization, but what was learned from history." For several years the colleges have been instilling Universal Peace into the hearts of their students by arousing an interest in the question by offering prizes for the best composition or thesis on "Peace." At the present time there is a department of Peace Teaching in many of our public schools. Realizing the responsibility which rests upon each one, who leaves this school, going forth to teach the young children of our State, and to imake them the most desirable citizens of the world as well as of the State, the Class of 1914, have accomplished a great work in producing the Pageant of Universal Peace. It is the most beautiful and inspiring thing ever staged by a class of this school or any other school of its size. Those who have worked so hard in preparing and producing it will be happy if their aim is realized-if it has awakened a desire in the hearts of those who witnessed it, for international good-will and friendship. We know that it has left a lasting effect upon those who have taken part in it. Each one will go to his school next year with a desire to Page Sixty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 65 ---------- teach its lesson to the young children who will be intrusted to them. If this is the only effect, our work has been worth while. The preparation of the Pageant was carried on in a very efficient way. Each scene was prepared by a separate committee, but we owe our thanks to Miss Hays, for it was she who planned the whole. It was through her untiring work that it was at all possible. The Pageant showed the great forces that have worked toward peace throughout the ages. The scenes were as follows: Scene I. Dark Side of War. Scene II. Prophecies of Peace. Scene III. Message of Peace. Scene IV. Preaching of Christian Missionaries. Scene V. Heroes of Peace. Scene VI. Organizations of Peace. Scene VII. Courses in Citizenship. Scene VIII. Arts of Peace. Scene IX. Hague Conference Scene X. Triumph of Peace. The artistic arrangement of these scenes were beautiful, and the music was exquisite. We hope that each one who witnessed it de parted with a feeling in his heart expressed by Ruskin: "Put off, put oil' your mail, ye kings, and beat your brands to dust; A surer grasp your hands must know, your hearts a better trust; Nay, bend aback tne lance's point, and break the helmit oar; A noise is in the morning's winds, but not the noise of war. Among the grassy mountain paths the glittering troop increase- They come! They come!-how fair their feet!-they come that publish peace! Yea, victory! fair victory! our enemies? and ours, And all the clouds are clasped in light, and all the earth with flowers. Oh! still depressed and dim with dew, but yet a little while, And radiant with the deathless rose the wilderness shall smile, And every tender living thing shall feed by streams of rest, Nor lamb from the fold be lost, nor nursling from the nest." BRANCH PEACE LEAGUE. As an outgrowth of the enthusiasm aroused by the Seniors, who were working on the Peace Pageant, a branch of the American School Peace League has been organized in the school with the members of the Faculty and the members of the Senior Class as charter members. The American School Peace League has as its members some of the best thinkers and strongest workers in the United States. Many of the schools in our country have already organized branch leagues. Ours is the first in Washington, if not in the entire Northwest. If we wish to further the cause of Universal Peace it must be done by educating the youth of our country. This we hope to help along by sending out our one hundred and fifty Peace enthusiasts who will influence their pupils by keeping the ideal of Peace ever before them, Page Sixty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 66 ---------- CLASS PROPHECY. I had just returned seeing the old familiar play, "Peter Pan." My wraps had been thrown across a chair, and I sat by the dying firelight. I am cursed with a practical turn of mind, so even Peter Pan had not quite convinced me of fairies, but I did wonder. As the firelight faded, the clear beams of the moon came through my window and fell full upon my face. I looked out at the white night, the grotesque shadows here and there, and a quiet mystery seemed to lay over it all. The moon's beams were forming a silver white path, and lo! someone was walking upon it-toward me. It was Peter Pan- youth, eternal youth,-joy, joy! He glided smilingly to my very window-sill. "Oh, you didn't expect me, did you. I am never seen but by those who believe in me. But, to-night, for this once, because you wish to see, I am here. To-night, by a touch, you may have youth, joy! What will that touch be?" "My school days," I whispered. "My schoolmates of ten years ago. To see them all." "Well said! Nothing keeps youth as schooldays, and no joy is greater than in the comradeship of schoolmates. You, too, must walk the moon-beams to-night,-and you may see, not as then, but as they are now, your Classmates of 1914." I took his hand and, stepping onto the window sill, walked out upon the silver path. We walked swiftly and never tired. After going a long way, Peter Pan told me to "slide,"-and down a moon-beam we went, right into a big meeting. The room was full of people, evidently preparing to leave, and no one noticed us. "This is no place for me," Peter Pan whispered. "A few of them might see me, and try to hang onto me. This is a State Teachers' Institute, and believe me, teachers do try to hold onto youth!" "I think," we heard a voice saying, "that this has been a great success. I've been working ten years to make penmanship compulsory through all twelve grades, and this is the first time I've had success. I feel well repaid!" "Yes, Mrs. Tillet, I know just how you feel. I was so glad when Manual Training received like recognition. Now, in Seattle, we have solved great social problems through that Department." "No doubt, Miss Parker. No doubt! But Penmanship-" the speaker moved on. "Prof. Hevly, do you sanction spelling in the High School?" I heard another say. "That is hard to say, Miss Bond; but I do heartily believe in placing Browning in the Sixth grade! I have done a great deal through my own institution to promote that plan, but as yet we have the deplorable fact facing us that it is only taught from the Seventh grade up. "Oh, by the way, did you hear that Superintendent Boucher had resigned and is becoming a collector of state-wide fame?" "No! I know she showed exceptional talent along those lines in Normal." "How so, Miss Bond?" "Why, collecting Phil. of Ed. papers in the halls for class use. But what is her specialty now?" "Zoological specimens. She's making a private investigation of the rise of man." "Why Mr. Peterson! You here? I thought you'd quit teaching!" Page Sixty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 67 ---------- No, I tried to, but that's the only way I can get into the County Superintendent's office, so I'm back on the job. Have you heard that Miss Marie Anderson is head of the Department of Physiology in Everett? "Why was she promoted?" "She illustrates to well the movement of the lower jaw!" "Miss Dierling isn't here this year," remarked Prof. Hevly, carelessly. "Oh, no! You know she taught in Alaska for three years, and now she's up there to stay. They say he's rolling in money." "Oh, well; she went the same way as Jessie Garland, Clarice Henry and Mae Reichert. Hope they's happy." "But," persisted Miss Frantz, who had just entered the group, "I don't think that's professional. Hardly the right thing to do, you know." Mr. Hevly heaved a sigh: "But Browning and Dr. Deerwester say----" "Let's get out of here," Peter Pan gasped, and whirled me square around up the path again. When next we stopped, we were at the doorway of a humble cottage in the woods. A man sat by its fire, evidently asleep. A woman, carrying a milk pail, came up the path. "Fred! Fred!! Fred Dies!!! You get right up from there and split me some wood!" "Oh, yes, yes! I'll do it in a minute! Are the cows milked, and the horses cared for, and the pigs fed, and the chickens-?" We were off again| Over forests and towns we glided, over a smoking city, and sliding down a moon-beam we had to jump off at the end, to reach the top part of a high window. The room was a breathing mass. The chairman brought down his mallet so hard that we were nearly jarred off our feet. "You are out of order!" "Comrade Debs!" "Comrade Hansome!" "I rise to a point of information. Will it be out of order to move that a committee be appointed to investigate the matter?" "It will not!" "Then I make that motion, and I suggest that the Chair be very choice in its selection." "Mr. Chairman!" "Comrade Marshall!" "I move that Oleah Blank be tendered a vote of thanks for her sympathetic interpretation of our ideals in her latest book, "Through Ten Years of Midnight.' " By common impulse we turned and climbed back onto the path. Suddenly we were on the window of a homelike room. A group of women were seated in a semi-circle. Several faces looked familiar. The Chairman was Grace Denton,-or used to be. "Will the 'Mother's Club for Ways and Means' come to order. We will have the reading of the last minutes." I wondered who the Secretary was, for I remembered her as Lillian Berney. Then followed long papers. After the first two: "The Philosophical Interpretation of the Psychological Tendencies of a Boys' Temper," by Edith (Layton) X--," and "The Inherited Tendencies of Freckles," by Margaret (Mossop) X-- , I glanced around the room once more to see the faces of those who had been Catherine Hurley and Ruth Pearson. Then we escaped before another paper was begun. Page Sixty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 68 ---------- The broad path brought us to the wide window of a richly furnished room. Two men were sitting before a fire, smoking. "It's mighty good of you, Ed, to surprise me like this. What ever brought you to 'Frisco?" "Well, J. A., I'm on my way back to Washington. I'm President of the Normal Alumni this year, and we're making special efforts to have a reunion. So you see my visit is partly for business." "Well, well!" "Well, well! Here, James; you tell everybody I'm busy. Answer the telephone, too. And phone the Anderson's I am detained; that I'm sorry, etc. That's all! Now, Ed, open up. Where are they all? Where's Ellis?" "Where? He's in Seattle! Has the most exclusive studio in the city. They say his raise is due to Alma's artistic ability, as much as to his unceasing advertising. You've heard, of Course, that Olson is drifting from one business to another? But he's having a good time. And there's Ethel Patton! She's made an immense fortune, posing for colored movies. Not only her acting, but the exquisite color of her hair, is raved about in the Sunday supplements." "You don't say! You never can tell where they'll land! Now, Evelyn Britt is back in Bellingham, Dean for the new Dorm. for girls." "Where's Clara McKenzie?" "In New York! She gives instructions by correspondence on 'How to Become Slender and Graceful!' Where's Doc, Ed?" "Goodness knows! The last I saw of him he was on his way to Saratoga. He'd been up in the Catskill Mountains, and he said he was leaving because a millionaire's daughter was madly in love with him." "Ha, ha! ha, ha! You don't mean it! Well, you know, something of the same sort came to my notice last summer at Gearhart Rock. A woman refused to become engaged to a man because she said it wasn't safe to carry around any more diamonds. Said that she didn't think it was diplomatic!" "Really!" "Yep! and-oh, say; you may remember her! It was Esther May Pieplow." We hurried on, until we were in the hall of a great drawing room. The perfume of wilting flowers was heavy and the scene gorgeous in richness and color. When I had recovered a bit, I found familiar faces there too. I saw Margaret Black, the center of attraction, Lois Brooks, Gertrude Conners, Grace Uhl, and Eva Margaret Slater, about the room. Two drifted near me in earnest conversation: "Isn't that too bad! What was she operated on for?" "Who?" asked a third. "Mrs. Van de Doozle-you remember Helen Burnham? She had the high notes in her voice removed." "How horrible!" "But they say that in six months she will be able to talk in perfectly natural tones." ,Just then I noticed a lonely-looking sweet face in a window. "Who is it?" I asked. "That," answered Peter Pan, "is a woman after my own heart. Lady Beulah, they call her. But long ago she made a tremendous impression on a nobleman, and it's very trying for her to keep up her posi-tion. But we must go! It is almost morning!" The path of moonbeams had thinned down to a single beam. As we hurried along, snap! it broke and-I awoke, cold and stiff, in my chair by a dead fire. Page Sixty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 69 ---------- THE CLASS WILL. We, the Senior Class of 1914, of the State Normal School, Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington, declaring ourselves to be of sound mind and memory and, realizing the certainty of our departure from this institution, do hereby make, publish and declare this, our last Will and Testament: First: Knowing the splendid financial condition of the Junior Class, we direct that all our just debts and graduating expenses be paid by the aforementioned Class as soon after our departure as can conveniently be done.

Eighth: To all Seniors of next year, industrious enough to deserve it, we bequeath Mr. Moodie's fund of sympathy for the over-worked. Ninth: We give and bequeath to timid Juniors, Mr. Epley's stinging sarcasm, and his very satisfactory method of grading test papers.

Eleventh: We give and bequeath to all future Senior Class, in turn, our Tradition Book, together with the privilege of carrying out all the suggestions made therein. Should they fail, even in the least of these, may the substantial ghost of Marius Hansome, the ardent champion of Tradition haunt them forever. Twelfth: Feeling that it is for the welfare of the Normal School, and the City of Bellingham, we give and bequeath to the insane asylum at Steilacoom, the members of the Cement Class. We grant them the privilege of taking with them the alarm clocks, to which they have be. come so much attached. Thirteenth: We give and bequeath to all Normal students our beautiful sunsets, parks, beaches, and surrounding hills, and valleys, Page Sixty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 70 ---------- and also the lakes, bay, and islands, together with the privilege of plan-ning a picnic, excursion, tramp, or cruise for every Friday in the year. Fourteenth: Although fully realizing that this is better treatment than they deserve, we bequeath the schools paying fifty dollars and less per month to the Seniors who are "cutters," "pikers," "quitters," "knockers," and anti-suffragettes. May the districts to which these teachers go prove as dead as they are. Fifteenth: We give and bequeath our gray hairs and wrinkles to the Supervisors, who caused them. Sixteenth: We give and bequeath to the School the following books and poems, written by members of the Faculty, to-wit: L. S. Norton's "How Not to Dress"; M. E. Drake's "Latest Things In Tango"; H. C. Phillippi's "Current Events in the Normal School"; W. H. Patch-in's "Superiorities of the High School"; I. A. Felt's "Manual of Definite Instructions"; F. E.

Epley's "The Joys of Sweethearting In the Halls"; E. A. Bond's "Romantic Arithmetic, If You Please"; F. S. Hays' "Our Peace Pageant," and Gray's "Elegy on Unexcused Absences." Seventeenth: We bequeath Doc's short trousers to the Freshies, that they too may have a white sock display. Eighteenth: We give, devise and bequeath our dear old B. S. N. S. to Dr. Nash. May he administer the institution with all the steadfast integrity and loyalty of Dr. Mathes. Nineteenth: It is our will, and we do hereby appoint and nomi-nate our beloved Juniors, executors of this, our last Will and Testament; and we hereby request, direct and authorize the said executors to ad-minister our estate without being required to give any bonds and with-out the intervention of any courtship, except such as shall be necessary in order to provide Mr. Epley with fuel for his semi-annual lectures. In Witness Whereof, We have hereunto set our hands and sub-scribed our seal, this first day of May, in the Year of Our Lord one thou-sand nine hundred and fourteen. THE SENIOR CLASS.

Page Seventy-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 74 ---------- Juniors Juniors, Juniors! What does the name signify? The largest, the strongest, the most enthusiastic bunch that ever entered the doors of old B. S. N. S. With conscientious Class officers, and a hearty, co-operative spirit of Class members, we had had a most profitable and enjoyable year. On Thursday evening, October second, the first social event of the year,-a rousing good mixer, was held in the gymnasium. A track meet was the big event of the evening, after which we were entertained by a short and excellent program. Delightful refreshments brought to a close a most enjoyable evening. Everyone became acquainted, and so were better able to enjoy the festivities of the following months. October brought with it Hallowee'n, and Hallowe'en brought with it-SPOOKS! The Junior girls, realizing a grand opportunity to have a little fun and display their originality, decked themselves in every costume imaginable, and met at the Aftermath Clubhouse to enjoy the program of the evening. "Merrily, merrily, whirled the wheels of the dizzying dancers" till the midnight sounded, then the queens and spooks, the witches and ghosts, and Sis and Si and Red and Algernon betook themselves home, voting the party a grand scheme. The first social gathering after the New Year was a loud color party at the Aftermath Clubhouse. The color schemes were wonderful indeed, and no cymbals nor drums were needed to increase the "noise." We had just such a good time as only Juniors know of. Nuff sed. A Hard-Times party was given to the members of the Class Friday evening, January twelfth, in the gym. A good representation of the Class were present. Folk dancing was enjoyed by all, as well as were the refreshments and the fines imposed. On Tuesday evening, March twenty-fourth, a dancing party was given at the Aftermath. The girls, with the kind permission of the Junior boys, were allowed to invite their friends, and a goodly number collected to entertain and be entertained. The first part of the evening was given over to a novel track meet in which everyone participated, then the party adjourned to the floor above, and there certainly was "No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet, To chase the glowing hours with flying feet." May first being circus day, picnic day, and holiday too, a jolly bunch of Juniors, with well-filled lunch baskets, hied them away to Chuckanut beach to bake clams, to row, to walk, to climb, to eat, to dream, to row, and to get sun-burned, which to proceeded to do, each according to his own inclination. The sunset that tinted the water and sky with beautiful colors warned them, all too soon, that another day of good fellowship was almost done. It was indeed a merry and satisfied crowd that boarded the Interurban to go back to good old Bellingham. We have yet one function to look forward to, and that is our entertainment in honor of the department Seniors. As yet it has not yet been decided just what it will be, but with our talent and energy, our ingenuity and originality, it promises to be one of the grand occasions of the year. Page Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 75 ---------- To whom do we owe these jolly good times and to whom do we heartily extend our appreciation and thanks for them? Who but Miss Shaeffer and Mr. Epley, our Class Advisers, could give us the liberty, the freedom, and the pleasure this school year has brought. From beginning to end, it has been a year of loyalty, comradeship and enjoyment, and one of which in after years we may conjure up joyous recollections. CLASS SONG. (WORDS AND MUSIC BY JUNIORS) I. They came, they saw, they conquered, Everything that was in sight, From the Faculty down to the Freshman boys. The Juniors have made it alright. II. The Seniors tremble before them, The Sophomores bend the knee, The Freshman turn green with envy, For the Juniors-don't you see? III. So here's to our dear old Normal, With its Juniors strong and true, And the hope that is written witnin each heart As they cheer for the white and blue. CHORUS. So here's to the Bellingham Normal. Here's to the Blue and White, And here's to the mighty Juniors, They sure are out of sight. JUNIOR PLAY One of the leading events of the year was the Junior Play, which was presented on February 20th, as only the Junior Class of 1914, were capable. Great skill was shown in the presentation; and the costumes and scenery displayed their high sense of the artistic. An interested and enthusiastic audience feasted their eyes on "Charley's Aunt" who, as the leading character of the play, proved none other than "Red" Montgomery. Before the evening was over every one had become extremely fascinated by "Charlie's Aunt."

BARBARA CONROY CLASS COLORS Silver and Blue CLASS FLOWER Forget-Me-Not CLASS TEACHERS Miss Jensen and Mr. Bever CLASS YELL Silver and Blue, we hail thee! Ever our colors true, In field or in hall WVe will answer thy call, And show what the Sophomores can do. And didn't we show our superior powers in the series of basketball games for the Kline Cup! Under the able management of Marybell Baker, our team was brought to such a high degree of efficiency and skill that even our formidable rival, the Senior team, was defeated in the final contest. The Sophomores in full force attended all of these games, and what mighty cheers burst from that small crowd, when our guards,-the lithe and agile Madelyn Nicol and the dextrous Edith Lehman, so quickly anticipated 'he designs of their adversaries that they reduced the scores of the enemy to a minimum. How we yelled for joy Page Seventy-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 79 ---------- when our incomparable forwards, Elizabeth Egbert and Stella Bradford, or our insuperable center, Marguerite McOowell, made their illustrious, inimitable moves. But the crowning glory, which yet sheds its brilliant light on the Sophomore Class, was the memorable occasion when the Manager of the Senior Basketball team acknowledged the superiority of the Sophomore team, in the presence of the assembled students, and yielded the hard-fought-for Kline Cup to our Manager. How elated we felt. Never before did that loving cup gleam so brightly, and though we do not wish to be selfish, it is our ardent desire that we may retain the cup the next year. Then, to cap this glorious climax of our career, Mr. Bever and Miss Jensen gave a "kid" party to the Sophomores in honor of our matchless basketball players. So, on the evening of April fifth, the Sophomores, dressed as Jack, Jill, etc., flocked to the home of our big-hearted, hospitable Class father,-Professor Bever. Our small numbers fit beautifully into a private home and under the skilful, enthusiastic management of our ingenious Miss Jensen, we were drawn into a whirl of fun, which lasted all evening. The biographies of our girls were read, predicting brilliant futures, and so many other exciting things happened that it was time for our departure, before we realized that the evening had gone. The next social event which the Sophomores have planned,-we have already had a good many,-is the annual picnic which we will hold at Chuckanut this year. The date set was May first, which is the annual picnic day for the whole Normal School. In accordance with our bold, adventurous spirit, we expect to make daring excursions into the wildest, weirdest caverns, nooks, and woods that Chuckanut possesses, besides er' ying the regular picnic sports. To prove that we are brainy, as well as athletic and fun-loving, you need only glance over the record of the most intellectual clubs and societies to find the Sophomores among the most distinguished members. For instance, Mr. G. F. D. Vander Mei,-one of our former Presidents,- has beome so well-known for his unswerving integrity, as well as his abilities, that he has held the office of President in the Philomathean Society and was also unanimously elected Secretary of the Students' Association for next year. In passing over this brief retrospect of the year's events, we fell that this year has been the best, the most prosperous, the most helpful, both mentally and spiritually, that we have ever experienced; and we Sophomores feel so bound together by enthusiasm and good-will that we hope to find all of our Classmates back at the dear old B. S. N. S. next year.

IRMA SONNER HIGH SCHOOL The Normal High School will soon celebrate its fifth birthday and enter upon its sixth year, with every assurance of continued growth and success. This year shows a very marked increase in attendance over former years. During the past five years we have had but two grades, but beginning with September, 1915, two more grades will be added, thus making us a full four-year High School. The following courses will be offered: Classical, Modern Language, History, Science and Mathematics, and Home Economics. We shall ask to be accredited to the University of Washington as soon as the four-year course is in operation. Our rooms in the new Training School building are light, well-ventilated and commodious, making the most attractive suite of rooms in the institution. We welcome to our ranks any boy or girl that is in for work, and endeavors to put part of himself or herself into the School as well as derive profit from it.

FIRST PRIZE STORY. "Come away to dreamin' town Mandy Lou, Mandy Lou, Whaih de fruit is bendin' down Des fer you; Smooth your brow of lovin' brown, An' my love will be its crown; Come away to dreamin' town Mandy Lou." Elsie Martin's sweet, low voice died away into silence, and after a last plaintive chord, her guitar dropped down into her lap. The "Four Hundred," as they were called, had gathered in Elsie's room to enjoy the leisure of Saturday night. A sticky chafing- dish and a gradually diminishing plate of fudge, told how they had been spending their time. They had sung, too,-at first together, the songs of their college; and then Elsie had sung alone the Southern songs and darky lullabies they all loved to hear. Elsie was a Southerner, a tall, dark girl, with heavy black hair, and a very clear skin. Her eyes, when she raised her heavy lashes, were unexpectedly blue. She spoke in the soft, languorous manner of the South. This was her first year at Bowler College, but she had been immediately popular because of her sweet, winsome ways and her generosity. She, and three of the other leading girls in the school had become such friends that they had been dubbed half-jokingly, half- resentfully, "The Four Hundred." "How well you do that, Elsie," said Mildred Cunningham, after a pause, leaning back in her arm-chair. She was far too dignified to ever curl up on the floor, as the others were doing. "Yes, indeed, Elsie," said Jo Davis, plumping up a cushion to fit her back, as she leaned against the end of the couch. "Please pass the fudge, Dot. Your songs are more natural than life. Just shut your eyes, and you would think it was an old Mammy singing, shore 'nuff." "I have heard darky songs all my life," replied Elsie. "Many and many a time my Mammy has sung me to sleep with them." "Do you know, I have not thought of it until this minute, but it has been two or three years since there has been any colored girl in Bowler Hall. Old Hiram Bowler would turn over in his grave if he knew it." Jo sat up straight at the thought. "Why should Hiram Bowler turn over in his grave? and are colored people ever allowed to stay in this hall?" Dot Powers, who always spoke in italics, opened her blue eyes wide. She too, was a newcomer this year. "Oh, didn't you know about it?" Old Hiram Bowler, who founded this school, and gave the money for Bowler Hall, was a rank abolitionist. They say his house was an underground station for negroes, on their way to Canada. When he gave the money for the hall, one of the conditions was that one room should always be open to a colored girl." "Did any ever really stay here?" queried Dot. "Oh, my, yes! Years ago there were always colored girls here at school, and always one at the Hall. But since Miss Lester has been President, they have been discouraged from coming here, and especially from coming to Bowler Hall. There has not been one here for three of Page Eighty- Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 87 ---------- four years. By the way, Elsie, you have the room where they always used to stay. My sister told me they used to call it 'Darkest Africa.' " "There is a colored girl here this year. She's in my French class," said Dot. "She stays at some house in town, and she's black as a crow. Why! her name is Martin, too. Maybe she's a relative of yours, Elsie?" "Don't be stupid, Dot," said Mildred, half-resentfully. "Of course she isn't. I loathe negroes. I fairly creep when one comes near me." "Oh, I don't! I think nigger babies and little pigs are the cutest things on earth! Do you hate them, too, Elsie?" pursued Dot. Elsie smiled slowly. Mildred was a very dear girl, but she did not like to have people disagree with her. Elsie liked Mildred the best of all the girls, and desired her good opinion. There existed between them the attraction sometimes found between the cold and selfish nature, and the warm, friendly one. She realized that the girls were waiting with curious eyes, she did not know why, to hear her answer. "I like my Mammy," she said. "But,-yes, I hate them, too!" she added, half bitterly; "I hate them!" "Of course she does, Dot," said Mildred, holding out her hand to Elsie. "All Southerners do. I don't see how any colored girl could have the audacity to come to Bowler College,-a college noted for its aristocracy and refinement. It just shows how forward and pushing they are!" "I don't feel that way about them," put in Jo sensibly. "They are just people and have the same rights that we do. I am going to hunt up this Martin girl,-she must have a lonesome time of it." "Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to be friends with one," said Dot, "but I do think the babies are cunning." "Well, let us turn our minds from this dark and sombre subject, and consider the Christmas hop," suggested Jo. "Oh, goody! Aren't you glad it's only next week?" Dot sighed ecstatically. "What's everybody going to wear?" The Christmas hop was quite the event of the year at Bowler College. It was given by the Faculty to the students before they dispersed for the holiday vacation. The floor of the big hall was like glass; the orchestra, concealed behind a bank of palms, was sending forth music that sent young feet flying, and caused even the staid members of the Faculty to wave their fans in rhythm. The "Four Hundred" came in together. Dot gave a little preliminary wheel. "Oh, isn't it lovely? I could just die dancing!" she said. "It is fine. There's a big crowd, too. Just look over there by those palms. Isn't that Lucy Martin?" asked Jo. "Why, yes, it is!" answered Dot, turning around to look. "How do you suppose she happened to come?" "Poor thing,-she has as much right as we. But I'm so sorry. Of course, no one will dance with her," said Jo. "It's too bad!" "I don't agree with you at all," Mildred said coldly. "What right has an ignorant, uncultured, black-faced negro to come to our Christmas hop. It has spoiled the whole evening for me." Elsie's face flushed, and she started to speak, but she changed her mind. "Come!" she said, holding out her arms for Mildred. "We must not waste this music." The girls whirled away and forgot all about the silent, black figure in the white dress beside the palms. It was a most successful hop. No Page Eighty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 88 ---------- one could help having a good time, with such music. The punch and ices were most satisfactory, too. Everyone was excited and merry, for in two more days they would all be speeding toward home for Christmas. Suddenly a crash was heard, and then the dull thud of something falling, and the splintering of glass. The music stopped and all eyes were turned toward the sound. A huge picture of old Hiram Bowler, in a frame of gilt a foot thick, had fallen from its fastening and now lay upon the floor in a wreckage of glass and plaster. Beside it in a crumpled little heap, lay Lucy Martin. A spot of blood showed near the edge of the crisp black hair, and dribbled over on the white dress. "Oh, the picture must have struck her, when it fell!" said Dot, stupidly. "Of course it did, silly," returned Jo, with whom she had been dancing. "But look-" Dot was looking. She saw Elsie run over to the corner, push away the other girls who had crowded close, and take the little figure in her arms. With her handkerchief she tried to stop the blood from the wound on Lucy's forehead. "Get some water!" she commanded, raising her head. "Why, Elsie! what are you doing? Look at your dress!" said Mildred, drawing her own silk skirts above the debris. "Girls," said Elsie simply, "She is my sister. I thought you need never know, but I must tell you now." "Elsie, do you mean--," Mildred drew away coldly. "Yes, my grandmother was a full- blooded negro, and a slave at one time. My mother is a mulatto. I am like my father. We agreed that people here need never know about me; but it was foolish and selfish to ever think that." Lucy opened her eyes and sat straight in alarm. "Oh, Elsie," she wailed, "I am so sorry. I should never have come, but I was so lonely." "Never mind, dear," said Elsie, "I must take you home, now." "You're a trump!" said Jo impulsively, putting out her hand to Elsie. "We'll all help." She extended her hands to include the others, but they drew away,-all but Dot. "Oh, Elsie, is it really so?" Her voice broke. "But I am quite sure I will like you as well black as white." Elsie smiled. "That is sweet of you, Dot. It was very wrong of me to deceive you so, but it is hard to be always beyond the pale." She looked at Mildred's averted face. "Come, Lucy," she said, and the two girls went out alone. HELEN HARRINGTON. NOT ONE OF HIS KIND. Second Prize Story. The time was Indian summer and the sun shown hot and mellow over the land. Yellow stubblefields and rocky sage-brush areas stretched away over the rolling hills to the far-away mountains that seemed like a border of hazy blue. Deep coulees, ancient river beds, according to Indian legends, cut through the very heart of the country, and ridges and cliffs of black rocks lay piled up as though dumped there in ages gone by. Along the roads lay piled-up drifts of sand, and sand dunes gathered there by the winds that sweep relentlessly over this inland desert, were everywhere in the sunbroken areas. Page Eighty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 89 ---------- Two horsemen, a man and a woman, emerged from the cooler shades of the coulee into the glaring heat of the sandy upland road. They were covered with dust and the horse snorted the sand from their nostrils and blinked red eyes in the sudden glare and heat. "Some difference in the temperature up here," the man remarked. "Rather," sarcastically responded his companion. The girl faced the prairie and smiled doubtfully. That stretch of country is sandswept, and in places as lonely as a desert; where the sun shines down fiercely by day, and the moon turns into a mystic wilderness by night. It was beautiful, but she had not lived there all of her life, and it was strange and often dreadfully vacant and lonely to her. Just now it was hot and dusty, and she thought, for a moment, that she could detest it heartily. She looked straight ahead and strained her eyes through the dusty air for the windmill that marked the man's home. He saw the curve of her mouth in its smile, and turned away and looked across the waste of hills. It was his home and he loved it, and it hurt him to have the girl detest it. "You have never learned to love my prairie, have you?" he asked. She caught the note of reproach in his voice and said hurriedly. "Oh, it is beautiful, and I love it for a time, but I could never live here and be in eternal fear of being buried alive in a sand drift, or blown away in one of these terrible whirlwinds that sweep across here." He laughed, "You've lived through six sandstorms that I know of, and you are still here." "I have a week left!" she reminded him. "Just a week!" Something in his voice made her look at him. Her face clouded for a moment and then she went on savagely. "A week is plenty long enough! Why, we could have a sandstorm a day, and all of us be a thing of the past by Sunday." A sudden gust of wind raised the dust in clouds and, when they emerged, coughing and blinking, the girl managed to say between gasps, "Ugh, this dust is horrible! " The boy pointed with his whip to a grove of trees above the tops of which a windmill glistened in the sunshine. "See, we are almost there now, and you'll soon be through with whirlwinds." They galloped on swiftly, and soon came to a lane where the dust lay less thick in the road and the wind blew behind them. The boy stroked his horse's neck. "Jasper, old boy; you're glad to be getting here yourself, aren't you?" The horse pricked up his ears as in answer. A familiar whistle was carried to them on the breeze, and a small boy, followed by a smaller girl, came running down the lane. The girl's face lighted up and she exclaimed joyously, "Margot!" When she came up to the child she jumped from her horse and, snatching the child up in her arms, asked: "Margot, are you glad to see me?" The child wound her chubby arms around the girl's neck and squeezed her with childish fervor. Then taking Margot by the hand, she followed the boy and the smaller boy, who had taken the horse, to the house. There, the old-fashioned mother and the boy's sister, Caroline, greeted her warmly. They took her up to her old room, and there Caroline put her arm around her and said, with a flushed face: "Oh, I'm so glad you have come to spend a week with us. It gets rather lonely out here and- " she stopped abruptly. The girl turned toward her questioningly, "And what?" Page Eighty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 90 ---------- Well, if you don't mind my saying it- The girl stepped in front of her and, placing a hand on either shoulder, said coaxingly: "I won't mind one bit!" "Otto is glad too!" The girl felt the hot blood rush to her face, but she smiled and, without a quiver in her voice, said: "Is he? Well, I am glad you are glad. Will you tell your mother that I am going to rest awhile, so as to prepare for one of her superb dinners. I am tired and dusty and I want to take off a little of it before I go down." As Caroline started away, the old mother appeared in the doorway. She held out her hands to the girl saying. "Dearie, we are so glad you have come, everyone of us! Otto was afraid you'd miss the train, but--" She was interrupted by the girl, who sprung by her and, catching up the child who had suddenly appeared in the doorway, said with a flushed face. "How many plum pies do I get?" "A million!" shouted the child, and then with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, "---and one tweeney one from the pigeon!" "Thanks! and is there a new pigeon?" "Yes, and Otto and me named him for you." "You little monkey!" "Yes, and there's a new calf too, and he's named for you, too!" "How many more?" questioned the girl laughingly. "More when you're gone, but Otto says we can't while you're here." "Why ?" "You mightn't like it." "Oh, Margot!" The girl's face looked flushed and worried and the mother, quick to detect it, said. "Come, let us go and when you are rested and dinner is ready, I'll call you." Left to herself the girl stood where they left her. A cloud was on her face. What did they all mean by quoting Otto to her? She thought she had ended all of that weeks before, and she had never given the family any cause to think Otto had any claim on her. It was plainly his fault. He felt sure of himself and it made her a trifle angry. That was the reason she had told him about John, so that he wouldn't expect things of her. She turned, to find a pitcher of roses on the table. He had brought them, of course; he always did bring her roses, and now, after all she had said and done to him, he had sent more. Why had she come? It was such a temptation to see Margot and ride that splendid Dobbin- . A call from below brought her back from her reverie, and taking off her hat and coat, she straightened her hair and went down. Out in the barn, the boy tied his pony in the stall, and hung up his saddle, then going over to the horse he stroked its mane. "Jasper, old boy; I'm a bloomin' idiot, but I can't help it. I thought I could bring her out here and be a man about it, but I can't, Jasper; I simply can't! She doesn't care and besides-there is the other fellow!" He slapped the horse's side, ",Jasper, old boy; I am going to have it out here before I go in, and no one will know about it but you!" He laid his head against the horse and clinched his fists. A hand was laid on his shoulder, and turning, he looked into the stern but not unkind blue eyes of his father. "Well, Otto, it's come again." Page Ninety ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 91 ---------- A confused flush overspread the boys' face, but he only looked over his father's shoulder. "My boy, I knew it would. But don't break your heart over a woman who doesn't care. Let the other fellow, in the city, have her but,-be a man. She doesn't care for our life or our country or our faith," and she cares less for you. You are nothing but a clown for thinking about her, and I want to thrash you for being a fool!" The boy turned angrily toward him. "Stop!" he cried, "I don't care anything about it. One think I do know, though, is I care about her and I can't help it. You're right, I am a clown, but I don't need to have you tell me. If you had let me go to school, instead of dragging out my life here, I might be able to take my place among men, but you wouldn't, and I am only a country clown as a result of your stubbornness, and I can't expect any woman to care for an ignorant country jay!" "You should care for one of your kind," said his father. The boy sprang at him, but stopped when he saw the expression on his father's face. The old man left the place. The boy's face fell, and he staggered slightly. "One of his kind!" His father's words rang in his ears. "One of his kind!" Wasn't she of his kind,-this girl from the city? whom he had learned to idolize as a goddess. Was it because he didn't have a college degree that she didn't care? Was it because he was a country clown and worked? Was it because of his old-fashioned mother, or his sisters? No! it wasn't any of these. She had said once that an education wasn't all. She allowed him to take her places, even in town, so she couldn't mind his being a country boy. She feared his father, but loved his mother and sisters, and worshiped Margot. No, it wasn't any of these; it was just the other fellow, and he was always just a little bit too slow for the other fellow. He walked slowly toward the house and up to the back-stairs to his room. It was a small place. All one side was lined with bookcases, filled inside and out with books and magazines. On one wall was tacked a picture of "The Gleaners," and opposite this a Hoffman's "Head of Christ." In one corner were his guns; one a big shotgun, and two rifles. A couch, small table and a big chair were the other furnishings. He stopped near the table and sat down. From downstairs someplace came the sound of the girls' laughter, mingled with Margot's, and into his blue eyes came a wistfulness that no one but the girl knew lay there. He turned the leaves of an album and there, smiling at him from a snapshot taken sometime before, was her picture. He looked at it, and then closed the book. He started to go and stopped. "Yes, I'll ask her again, and see how far along in the race I am." Down stairs Margot rushed to him, and dragged him across the floor to where the girl had solved a puzzle. "See!" she cried, "she has done it, and no one else could." The girl smiled up at him and asked. "Don't you think I am brilliant?" "Very!" "Margot says you tried 'leventeen' times and didn't make it," she teased. "I've tried more than 'leventeen times at various other things, and didn't make them," he said, with a trifle of bitterness in his tone. A shadow crossed her face, but she continued to smile, and there Page Ninety-One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 92 ---------- was nothing but wisdom in her eyes, as she answered. "Yes, so has everyone, but that isn't the end of all things after all." She looked full at him for a moment, and then back to the puzzle, but in that one glance he read her requirements of a man. Mentally she wondered how he could be so foolish. The child continued to prattle and she had to put the puzzle together again, after she had relentlessly scattered it with her tiny fist. At the table the girl sat opposite the boy, and with the father, sterner than ever before, at one end, and the little old-fashioned mother at the other, and Margot up close to the girl on one side, and the small boy on the other, while Caroline and another sister sat on either side of the boy. The father solemnly asked the blessing and filled the plates, and the mother and sisters bribed the girl to eat of the tempting German dishes. She was hungry, and did full justice to the meal, conscious now and then of the wistful blue eyes of the boy looking at her, but there was only interest in the general conversation in her's, as she occasionally glanced at him. When the meal was over, she followed Margot and the small boy out to see the new calf, and her namesake. They were joined later by the boy, who explained to her the mechanism of the new engine in the pumphouse, and then these two followed the ditch that ran along the end of the orchard. They came to a rocky knoll that gave them a view of the entire valley, with the streak of blue mountains in the distance. It was growing twilight by this time, and the sun in descending had left the sky red behind him. The whole earth was in a rosy twilight, and the distant streak of mountains was blue-black instead of misty. They sat silently on the racks, watching the twilight deepen and the rosy glow melt into gray. Soon behind them rose the crescent moon, with one brilliant star to guide it. A coyote somewhere among the sage-brush and rocks barked a prolonged yell, and was answered by his comrades. A cow-bell tinkled from the herd in the pasture below, and the whole place settled into a drowsy quietness that is characteristic of great areas of prairie country. "Do you know, I like this country best at night," the girl said presently. "Why?" "There is something so peaceful about it. In the daytime it is se exacting and hot, but at night it seems to fold its arms and rest." She laughed, "If I were a poet I'd write verses about it and become famous." "I have written verses about it. At least, I did once." The boy replied, flushing. "When? You didn't tell me about them!" "No, I didn't tell anyone about them. I simply got wound up one night, and I wrote verses and verses. The next day I burned them.' He threw back his head and laughed. The girl laughed too. "Lord only knows what the world has suffered by their destruction, but I got rid of a lot of excess energy. I suppose every fellow writes verses sometimes." "Yes, I know a few who did." She looked up at him and smiled; "and I have also witnessed the burning of a few. In fact, I signed their death warrants!" He bit his lip, but she went on, "I didn't burn the one you wrote, though, because I thought it a masterpiece, and I wanted it to show my callers when you became famous." He did not answer her, but looked off over the rolling fields. One-half of his face was turned toward her. She saw the hurt expression, and hated herself for causing it. Page Ninety-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 93 ---------- Now John would have laughed at this reference to his poems. "Will you answer a question?" he turned to her abruptly. "Well, if it isn't too deep. I don't feel philosophical just now, but if it's just ordinary- ," she shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "It isn't common, but I'd like to know- " "Well-!" "You told me once that I was privileged to run a race with that other fellow. What kind of a race have I run?" A momentary frown came in her forehead. She lifted her eyebrows and half-smilingly said. "You have been running a pretty fair race!" "Have I won at all?" he leaned toward her eagerly. She squared her shoulders and faced him. "No, you are not even second." "Not even second?" "No, not even second!" She saw his face grow old looking ill the moonlight, andl his hands clinch. She felt a little sorry for him there in his wistfulness. She pitied him for being so utterly forlorn. What was there about her that had moved this big man? She felt dreadfully insignificent. It was her fault! She had no business to encourage him thoughtlessly. She should have told him about John sooner, and( not wait until he was willing to be John's running mate. lie had failed, and she couldn't hell) it. Why wasn't he a fighter instead of a dreamer? He came near to her, and said half-earnestly, half-believing. "Then you don't care at all?" "No, not in the way you want me to!" He turned qluickly from her and faced the dark valley, then seeming to gather strength, he came back to her. He caught up the hand that propped her on the rock, and looking into her face said half-savagely. "Girl, do you know what it means to a man to worship a woman? To think of her day and night, and to see her, and her only, in all his plans; to study, and read, and strive to know things, just because she knows things; to love everything she loves; to cherish her even alove his own; to even run against other men to get her, and then fail? Girl, (1dyoo u understand these things? Listen, do you know what it means to love passionately, blindly?" His grasp on her hand made the girl wince with pain, and snatching away her hand, she said angrily. "Don't! I can't help it if you are foul enough to fall in love with me. I couldn't stop you when I didn't know you were being an idiot. I told you that you were running against John and I can't help it if he has beaten you!" She shook with rage and sat down trembling. He glanced at her and said more slowly, "Forgive me, girl, I was a fool to dare to try. It's like reaching for the moon, I guess, and then raving because I can't have it. But I am not going to make you miserable any longer." Something in his voice made her start. "What do you mean?" she asked quickly. "I mean that I give in and try to start my plans all over again." "Don't be foolish, Otto, I am not the only girl in the world. There are far more lovely ones than I. There is one some place that is more worthy of you than I could ever be." She tried to laugh lightheartedly. He turned to her fiercely, "You don't understand, girl. There is Page Ninety-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 94 ---------- only one woman for a man and if he can't have her there is no other!" "Otto, will you take me to the house? I can't talk to you any more now, when you can be more sensible I will, but not now." Silently he helped her over and off of the rocks. She walked before him thru' the orchard where the moon cast patches of light and shadow. He let down the bars of the gate to let her pass. At the door she faced him and said half smilingly: "Good-night, Otto!" He held out his hand, "Good-night!" Alone, that night, the girl sat with her chin in her hands and the moonlight streamed over her through the curtain. She was thankful it was over. Now she could go on with the knowledge that he knew and that she was fair. Alone in his room the boy lovingly fondled his favorite books and taking a last glance over his shoulder at the things he cherished, slipped from the room and out into the night. He took one look at the girls' window and then lowering his head was lost in the shadows of the orchard. At the Breakfast table the boy failed to appear, and the stern old father looked more stern, and the sisters and Margot looked anxious. The girl felt as though she were to blame. One, two, three days passed and the boy failed to return. The old father avoided the girl because he blamed her in his heart far he knew how the boy worshiped her. The mother felt instinctively that all was wrong and only Margot laid her head in the girl's lap and cried for the boy. One day a week later the girl traveled over the same sandy road and as she went she thought of the boy and wondered where he was. She felt a little guilty, but he had been such a fool to care so much for her, and doubtless he would come back when he got over it. When she reached home she found, among a pile of letters awaiting her, this note scratched with a pencil on a large sheet of paper: Dear Girl: This is to let you know that, even if I am a fool and idiot enough to run away because I can't be strong enough to face the music of failure, I am still big enough to harbor a little good will for the one I wronged. Forgive me, girl, and forget that such a bumpkin ever lived. I want to thank you for what you brought to me though you loved my books and my praise, a little, and I guess that is one of the very small reasons I loved you. However, I intend to live my own life and the memory of some things will serve as a solace when the hours get long and lonely. God bless you, girl, and may He deal fitly with the other fellow if he fails to cherish the prize he has won. If the time ever comes, when you need me, girl, I will go to you no matter what the distance. Yours as ever, OTTO. The girl stood still for a second and then thoughtfully tore the letter into tiny pieces and dropped them into the waste basket. A smile was on her lips and a tenderness shone in her brown eyes. "Poor Otto!" she thought, "how grand he would be if he just wouldn't always be content to give in to everything." ELSIE NEBERGALL. Page Ninety-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 95 ---------- TIKELAKIAN'S ROMANCE. Third Prize Story. "There's going to be some trouble," said Clerk Cavitt to Wince Bald, while they rested a moment at opposite ends of the large cross-cut saw that lay in a big fir they were cutting on a very wooded mountain side, a quarter of a mile above the saw-mill. The men of the mill had been watching the actions of Tikelakian for weeks. He was a large Wallulah chief whom the mill-hands now firmly believed had determined to steal the little school-teacher and carry her off to one of his haunts near Lacamas Lake in the mountains. "She's too darned pretty and sweet," continued Clerk Cavitt. "The Indian's clear in to his neck and Joe Ashmun's about gone too. I don't know what in the world to do. She hasn't any fears and I don't like to mention it to her." Cavitt and Bald were clerk and chairman of the Bear Prairie School District and they discussed school affairs very freely. Bald had been a teacher in a school at Kriny until his health failed him and forced him into the woods to work for recovery of it. "Susan is not a timid girl. I don't believe she would stamlpede even if ten men were struck with her charms. She is certainly a peach," returned Bald. Susan was a beauty without doubt. Her eyes were of a clear sky blue and her cheeks wore the color of a beautiful pink rose. She had a perfect mouth. "I wish I'd got an ugly one," said Cavitt, "but she didn't send me her picture till it was too late, and I had already hired her." Pretty Susan Turnley was not a girl to burden herself with regrets. She had a nice little school, good wages, and was half in love with Joe Ashmun, the engineer at the mill. Tikelakian was living in peace and luxury at the present time. He rode over to the agency at regular intervals and drew his money from the government. He had horses, dogs and much land. In fact, he was what you would call a rich Indian. Chairman Bald could not understand why the chief would covet Susan when he had so much else. "Why do you suspect Tikelakian of so rash an undertaking?" asked Bald, attempting to keep up the conversation so Cavitt would forget to resume business with the saw, until Ashmun's whistle would sound from the mill. "Because, darn his beady eyes! he's been moping around for a month." "Mebby your fears are imaginary," Bald ventured mildly, but before his companion could respIond, the noon-day whistle blew and they walked slowly down to the boarding house in the valley. Cavitt and Bald had misjudged the Indian chief. He was truly in love with the school-teacher, but she was not aware of the fact. Every morning he would sit on a fir log and watch the little school house, which nestled just below him on the side of the mountain. He wished that he was a boy again that he might go to school. Susan was occupied in the affairs of the school, trying to teach fourteen young ones of Bear Prairie. Tikelakian would brood over all the incidents of his courtship with Susan. During her residence on the Prairie he had been her ardent lover, but had never spoken to her. At times he thought he would make himself known to her and tell her of the danger that threatened her by his Indian enemy, Snoqualmie. Page Ninety-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 96 ---------- For a month, Snoqualmie, a reckless young buck, who lived on the other side of the mountain, and not known by the mill hands, had been planning to capture the pretty young school-teacher. He intended to seize her some night on her way home from school, tie her on the back of a horse, and take her far away. He was so interested in it, he had told another Indian, and Tikelakian had heard it, fortunately. The Chief was positive he could dispose of Snoqualmie, but he did not know what what to do with Ashman, his real rival. He was almost templted to kill Ashmun, but he knew Susan would disapprove of him forever then. Several times he had posted himself on the trail, as he was now doing, between the school house and her boarding place with the determination to effect an introduction, but each time his courage failed him and she passed on, not seeing him. He followed Susan down the trail, keeping himself carefully concealed in the bushes. Some distance below, the path entered a dense growth of fir, and he paused, waiting for her to emerge on the other side, so he might get a last look at her crossing a clear, level space before she passed into the valley. He waited and waited, but no Susan appeared. He felt that something was wrong, so ran down the trail and came to a fork in the road. There were a great many foot-tracks, and he knew immlediately that Sno(lualmie had taken the girl here. Within an hour, Tilkelakian was mounted and on the trail of his tribal brother. The week that followed on Bear Prairie was full of remorse. Everyone was sure Tikelalian had run off with Susan. The only relief the men found, was to ride off into the woods, searching for some clue. Their subject of conversation was always their vengeance against Tikelakian. The Indian chief had meanwhile overtaken Snoqualmhnie and the girl. The first night, he lay close to camp, but did not attack. Day after day he followed and night after night slept close to Snoqualmie's camp. At last he saw Susan, bound hand and foot. She was unhurt, but looked so down-hearted, he would have died if it would only help lher. At last, near the head of a small lake, Tilelakian decided to rescue Susan. He carefully estimated the journey toward home, and thought to himself, "I will have five days in which to prove my love for her." It was a beautiful moonlight night, and the tall firs cast long shadows on the ground all about Snoqualmie's camp. Tikelakian decided not to commit violence, but if he must, he would kill Snoqualmie. He waited behind a large fir, not far from a spring, for his prey, which came, as he expected, for water. Susan did not ask why Tikelakian came back with the water, instead of Snoqualmie, for she was only too glad to see a friendly face. She had heard the roar of the rifle, which reverberated through the canyon, but she did not want to think about it. That night she slept unbound, and next morning Tilelakian pointed toward home and said, "Come, we will start!" There was great rejoicing on Bear Prairie after the return of Susan. Everything went on, nearly as before,-but not the same. Joe Ashmun was more ardently in love; Tikelakian kept on brooding; Bald grew more verbose, and Susan was nervous. Clerk Cavitt had quarreled with Joe about the whistle on the sawmill. "Darn such a whistle!" he had said. "It disturbs the scholars!" Page Ninety-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 97 ---------- Joe was proud of his whistle, for he had contrived it himself. It did sound rather unearthly, but just the same he liked it, and Susan had never said it disturbed her scholars. As the whistle blew one evening, Tikelakian was sitting on a log, not far away. He jumped up, as a happy thought came to him. "I will buy the whistle. Then she will love me like she does Joe," he said, with a bound toward the mill. He met Joe, who was just starting home. The whole mill was not worth more than eight hundred dollars, but the Indian offered Joe fifteen hundred for the whistle. Of course Joe took it, and the next day Tikelakian started up the mill himself. He blew the whistle at seventy-thirty. It blew and blew and blew. He though Susan would hear it, and he said, "She will come if I blow it long enough!" Joe and Susan were on their way to the school house at the time. "Great Caesar!" said Joe, "that's Tikelakian, and he's got enough steam to blow- ," there was an awful roar, a quaking of the mountain side, and the crash of lumber. Those who were at the boarding-house ran out in time to see the mill fly up, the lumber going in every direction, and the body of Tikelakian ascend, and fall into the fir timber many rods away. SALICE SHORT. DECLAMATION. Because of the great difference in the various types of declamation as given formerly, the committee in charge this year decided to make three distinct groups, each of these offering a first and second prize. The try-outs for the contests in Dramatic Narrative and Poetry were held April 13, and the Finals took place April 24, in the Auditorium. The Prizes were awarded as follows: Dramatic Narrative Joyce Suffel, cutting from "Quo Vadis." Frances Veak, "The Winning of Katherine," from "If I Were King." Poetry Maude Workman, "Hagar," by Eliza Nicolson. Helen Boucher, "Count Gismond," by Browning. No preliminary contest was held in Oratory. The winners were: Marius Hansome, "Dreams," by Spargo. Hortense Stephenson, "The Guillotine," by Victor Hugo. Splendid work was shown in preparation for the Annual Debate. The question was, "Resolved, That Party Allegiance is Preferable to Independent Action in Politics." Affirmative were Mr. Campbell and Mr. Gemmell; negative, Mr. Jones and Mr. Leo. Results were, Mr. Leo, first, Mr. Jones second.

Cabinet Page Ninety-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 100 ---------- Y. W. C. A. The progress made by the Y. W. C. A. of this year need not be questioned, for it is a well- known fact to all the members of the student body that the Chairmen of the different Committees of the Y. W. C. A. were here, even before school opened, in their endeavor to make it home-like and pleasant for the new students by meeting trains "and boats. School had scarcely begun when the Vice-President, with the assistance of her Committee, met with all the new girls, to help them arrange their programs, meet their teachers, find their different recitation rooms, and deliver bouquets to some lonely members, also help to locate their environments. The Association did not stop with this beginning, but have continued their good work throughout the entire year. First, they gave a Faculty and Student reception, on the evening of September twenty-sixth, that will always be a memorable event to those participating. Shortly after this, there was the Membership Picnic, for the old and new members of the Association. We all climbed Sehome Hill, where we enjoyed an excellent lunch, of weenies, baked potatoes, etc., while listening to talks given by the old Association girls, on "The Things We Liked Best About the Y. W. C. A." The first meeting of the Y. W. C. A. of the year was held on Sunday, September eighth, with President Ruth Derifield as leader. At the next meeting, September 11th, Miss Sperry spoke on the "Value of Bible Study." The following Thursday, "Paul's Golden Rule," by Vice-President, Evelyn Britt. The first Missionary meeting was held October twenty-second, when Mrs. Warren Morse gave a most delightful talk on the "Value of the Missionary." It was arranged for classes to meet during noon hours with Mrs. Simpson to study "West Women on Eastern Lines." On Wednesday noons lecture on "Mormonism" were given by Rev. Buzzard. In harmony with the other Associations throughout the world, the observed the World's Week of Prayer through November ninth to the fourteenth, opened by a service conducted by Rev. Askey, "Power of Prayer and Praise." The Chairman of the extension Committee, with her assistants, made happy several needy homes, with baskets of Christmas dinners, and gifts for the little ones. This was done likewise for Thanksgiving Day. The event of most consequence to us, of this year, was the Northwest Students Volunteer Movement, held at Kansas City, Missouri, December thirteenth to January fifth. This meets every four years, so one can readily see with what anxiety everybody looked forward to be the chosen one. The Association elected Elida Nordeen and Pauline Paulson, as representatives, and the Faculty chose Miss LaVerne Knowles as theirs. The results of the convention brought back by the representatives is best written in the hearts of those listening to the reports given. The next great event to us was the Sixth Annual Bible Institute, which began February fifth. The speakers were Mrs. J. Addison Campbell, Mrs. C. H. Black, Miss Sarah Springer, of Seattle, and Mrs. Grace Soltan, of London. There has been a Students' Volunteer Band organized in the school, and various Missionary classes, Page One Hundred ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 101 ---------- The Y. W. C. A. has been fortunate enough this year to have many good speakers, that left lasting impressions with all that attended. Among the speakers are the following: Miss Fox, of Seattle, on November fifth; Miss Matthews, of Tokio, Japan, on November twentieth; Miss Helen Finch, of Seattle, the Deaconess of the Deaconess' Home, of Seattle; Mr. Hounshell, of Seattle; Secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement; Miss Keeler, Miss Fuller, Rev. McPhail, and Miss Butler. Elected Officers President ........................................ Elida Nordeen Vice-President ...............................

Among the many good things that the students of the Normnal and the general public have enjoyed during the year, must be included the Lecture Course. The five numbers given in the course have been very different from each other in character, though all alike in that each offered an evening's entertainment well worth listening to, and which was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience. The first number of the season was a lecture, "The University of Hard Knocks," by Adolph Parlette, a well-known humorist. Every one enjoyed his funny sayings, though none could fail to see deep truths under his witticisms. On November tenth, Mrs. Oliver McCoy read, "When Bunty Pulls the Strings." She did full justice to this charming little play, and those who didn't hear her missed a treat. The Kellogg-Haines singing party were with us on December sixteenth. They presented a varied musical program: The folk songs, given in costume, were especially enjoyed. On March nineteenth Alton Packard, the well-known cartoonist entertained us with his pictures, songs and witty remarks. The last number was an entertaining lecture by President Foster, of Reed College, on May twenty-third. Page One Hundred One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 102 ---------- [Image] Alkisiah Club Page One Hundred Two ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 103 ---------- The eighth year of this, the oldest Club in the School, is now drawing to a close, and as we look back over the year that has just passed, we realize that the Club has added much to our School life. Alkisiah is an Indian word, meaning "In the near future." The papers and reports given at our regular meetings have been on such subjects as we have felt we needed to prepare us for our work, "In the near future." We are not a Dramatic Club, and so have not, perhaps, made much of a show in the School life at large, but it has been our aim to be a vital help to our fellow-workers in the Club. The roll has been full, almost from the opening of School, and the forty girls have had many good times together. Perhaps the most enjoyable was the annual banquet, served in honor of the Senior members of the Club. We were sorry that more of the Alumni could not be with us at that time, but were glad for the few who were there. We have been entertained very royally at the homes of a number of our members. Ethel Cook entertained us in the fall, and we have been at Miss Baker's home several times. Friday evening, May eighth, Lucile Needham and Relta Nichols had the Club out to their home on Lake Whatcom. Those who were there can certainly testify to the grand time we had. This year one of our greatest desires and ambitions has been fulfilled. At last we have a home of our own. The old Society Hall has been given to the Alkisiahs and Philomatheans for a Club-room, and we are proud and thankful that we now "belong" somewhere. We want to thank those of the Alumni, who have helped us furnish the room. We are glad, not only for the donations, but for the interest which you still feel in your Club. Although we are not strictly a Dramatic Club, we always turn our attention for a little while during the year to that work. This year we gave two plays, "Miss Oliver's Dollars," and "Breaking the Engagement," and the operetta, "The May Queen," at Everson. These trips are becoming traditional, and are one of the big times of the year. We must give honor where honor is due. Certainly the success of any Club is due to a large extent to its officers, although we never could exist without the other faithful workers. This last semester the following girls have served as our officers: President .............................................. CLARICE HENRY Vice- President ..................................... Buda Jenkins Secretary .............................................. Hortense Stevenson Treasurer .............................................. Evelyn Britt Consuls, Beulah Clay, Josephine Courter, Alice Cropper, and Ruth Pearson. Page One Hundred Three ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 104 ---------- [Image] Choral Club Page One Hundred Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 105 ---------- CHORAL CLUB. The Choral Club was organized in September, with Edyth Layton as President, Emma Bucklin as Secretary, and a membership of about twenty-five. The membership increased as the Club grew more popular, and we now have more than forty memblers, and a new corps of officers: President ................................................. Kathryn Watson Vice-President ........................................ Freda Dierling Secretary-Treasurer ................................ Frances Cochel The Club has been alive all year, giving long assembllies, and furnishing music for other entertainments given at the Normal. The Club gave the public a glimpse of what was in store for them, when they gave the cantata, "The Golden Valley," in Assembly early in the Fall. A ladies' quartet has been organized in connection with the Club, consisting of Miss Watson, first soprano; Miss Houston, second soprano; Miss Sargison, first alto; Miss Layton, second alto. The quartet has made a decided hit in ttieir many public appearances, having sung for the Thespian vaudeville, H. L. S. plays, and other entertainments, and we are quite proud of them. The Choral Club also furnished the greater part of the talent for the "Hiawatha" concert, directed by Mrs. Thatcher, given in the Normal Auditorium, March sixth. The chorus was accompanied by a twenty-piece orchestra, directed by Madame Davenport-Engberg. An unusual amount of talent is found among the Choral Club members, and this has added much to the success of the Club. The members have sung in the different church choirs, and at many social functions during the year. May ninth the Club appeared in a Gypsy concert, directed by Mrs. Thatcher. Gypsy songs, by the great composers, were given in costume. The chorus was accompanied by the Normal Orchestra, directed by Madame Davenport- Engberg. The Club has spent many pleasant evenings together, during the year, several at the home of Mrs. Thatcher. Page One Hundred Five ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 106 ---------- [Image] PHILOMATHEAN CLUB Page One Hundred Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 107 ---------- PHILOMATHEAN NOTES. It is with a feeling of regret that we see the end of this school year approach, for we know that it means an end to many of our good times. The Philomatheans have had a most successful year and have had as members many of the school leaders. One of our members has been elected President of the Students' "1 Association for next year. Another was elected Vice-President, another Secretary, and still another Student Representative. In fact, four out of the five offices are filled by Philo members. Not only do the students recognize the worth of our members, but also the Faculty, for was not Rudolph Knaack chosen as Senior representative? In the different school activities, the Philos have taken a prominent part. In debate, Mr. Jones won second place, and the Junior play cast was composed almost entirely of Philo members. Our programs have been varied and interesting. Some were political, some literary, and some humorous. Three open meetings were given, to which the public was invited. One was given by the Philo girls on the evening of April twenty-ninth, and one by the boys on May fourteenth. Then came the delightful birthday party on the evening of November twenty-second, with Miss Jensen as hostess, and Mr. Philippi as host. That alone would be enough to assure one that it was a success. Northing had been omitted to make it enjoyable to all. After a delightful evening of games, refreshments were served, and there was much merriment over the cake, which was filled with thimbles, rings, etc. Toasts were given, and then the Philos took turns trying to extinguish the four flickering candles. It was with regret that we noted the time and took our leave. Another thing we can never forget was the picnic on the beach. 1 That will always remain fresh in our memories. This year the Philos have been given a permanent Club-room, to be shared with the Alkisiahs. With the help of our old members, we have been able to transform the old Society Hall into a place we shall always be proud to call our Club-room. One thing we are very proud of is the fact that we have done it entirely without any outside help. To those of us who are leaving this year, it may seem that our Philo days are over, but not so! We have formed friendships which will probably last for life, and our interest shall always be with the Club and its members. Wherever we may be, we shall always be glad to join in the Phi, Phi, Phi, yes, forever and ever 'tis Phi; Debating, and singing, and speaking, And pennants in Green and in White. Phi, Phi, Phi, yes, forever and ever 'tis Phi. Best organization, the queen of creation The Phi, Phi, Phi." Page One Hundred Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 108 ---------- [Image] THESPIAN DRAMATIC CLUB Page One Hundred Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 109 ---------- THESPIAN DRAMATIC CLUB. THESPIANS HO! Thespians, the Al Club, Sing Thespians, ah hip hooray. The jolly Thespian Dramatic Club. Sing Thespian, hip, hip, hooray. And so on down through its rollicking verses of good cheer. Never in the history of the Thespian Club, has it been so active, and held so many honors, as it has in this most successful year of Thespian History. The Club has been full all the year, and its members must needs show the metal of which they are made, before they enter into this most select of all the B. S. N. S. Clubs. Every quaking applicant must "try out" before stern-faced judges, after they have been duly and critically brought before the most critical eyes of the Thespians. It is the motto of the Club to be always "doing things," not a few active members, but thirty active members. During the year we have dabbled considerably in parliamentary drill, but that is the least of our work. One night we had a full program from Shakespeare, every member answering roll call with a quotation from that great poet. Hamlet was taken up and discussed, also how great actors have taken and portrayed the characters. There were also programs of the same character from Bernard Shaw, Ibsen, Margaret Anglin, Moetterlinck. Aside from this very instructive work, we had many songs, readings, orchestrial music, and life studies. One of the most entertaining evenings of the year was the evening Miss Edens became our honorary member. Mrs. Smith gave a charming reading, "Mam'selle," Miss Veak a darkey selection, and Miss Workman, "Cherokee Roses." This was followed by original life studies in which the Faculty, Teddy Roosevelt, President Wilson and a bashful boy figured prominently. The evening was closed with delicious refreshments of ice cream, cake and candy. This has been only a very small amount of the work that has been done by the Club. As soon as organized in the Fall, we began work on plays. As a result "The King's Threshhold," and "When Love Was Young," was staged in December. Eva Margaret Slater played the part of the heroine. Mr. Dees made a most romantic poet. Mr. William Nobles a very brave soldier, Helen Boucher, a sweet country lassie from Ireland, Grace Uhl and Catherine Hurley sweet and coquettish court ladies, Lois Brooks and Edward Gannon the most stately and gracious sovereigns of their noble realms, Ernest Neely a most doughty mayor of the town, Boyd Ellis and Lyton Swartz were the most ragged cripples of the realms, Francis Veak the monk, and Vida Van Cleave the Lord High Chancellor. The same evening, "When Love Was Young" was staged. Maude Workman made a gay and jolly Polly Starr, Emma Woodhouse, and Margaret Bird were very good "anxious mammas," and Clarence Dahlquist a dashing and chivalrous lover, Dick. Everyone thought it a great success. As soon as the vacation was over this very active Club began work Page One Hundred Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 110 ---------- again on "The Violin Maker of Cremona." This was given as an openhouse meeting. Geneva Sargison played the part of Gianini, and her sweet, melodious voice filled the entire room. Gerald Sonner was in turn a jolly good fellow with the boys, and a stern, unyielding father with his daughter. Boyd Ellis took the part of the hunchback, Phillipo, very well, while Ernest Leo made a charming lover. In April, the Club put on the great vaudeville, the big Normal "hit of the season." Ten big acts were staged, and all Thespians were busy, all well as much talent from the School. The first was a splendid overture from the orchestra, composed of Alice Cropper, Virginia Mathes, and Clarence Dahlquist. Cast of "The Arms and the Man."

Ernest Leo walked away with the twenty-five dollar prize, in the debating contest. Maude Workman took first prize in the poetry contest, with Nicolson's "Hagar", Helen Boucher second, with Browning's "Count Gismond," and Frances Veak took second prize in dramatic narrative, with "The Winning of Catherine," from "If I Were King." Miss Hays, Mrs. Smith, Miss Edens, and Miss Wilson are the active and efficient honorary members of the Club. We feel that with this able corps of assistants and advisers, we can do little wrong, and much active dlramatic work. Indeed, the Club owes much to our Faculty adviser, Mrs. R. W. Smith, who enters heartily into every plan for the Club, works untiringly on our plays, and sends everything on the stage as a finished production. With her as coach, everything is fire and action, and as one person said, who witnessed one of "her plays," we feel the tense life substleties, and living action of the players. The enthusiasm and intensity never wavers." We, as the Club, wish to extend to Mrs. Smith, through the pages of THE KLIPSUN, our hearty and sincere thanks for her work well done to our Thespian Club. The social functions of the year was the dance given at the P. L. F. Club-house, in January. Many picnics are being planned, and we will close the year in a joyful and breezy manner, at Chuckanut, on Lake Whatcom, at Calmp Perfection, and all interesting places about the Normal. So we will close ihe year, a joyous, happy band of busy workers, who have loyally upheld the honors of the Club, and kept the study of good drama always as our highest aim. So here is a song To the dear old club, Sing Thespians ah, hip, horray. For we are the life of the Normal School, Sing Thespians, hip, hip, hooray. Thespians, Thespian,s sing Thespians hip, hip, horrah For we are the club that stages plays, Sing Thespians, ah! hip, hooray.

TERMAAT, MISS NORTON, MISS BAXTER Another successful year has just closed for the Hays' Literary Society with memories never to be forgotten. The first month a delightful luncheon was given at the Hays' cabin, Lake Whatcom. With such an ideal beginning, it is no wonder that our accomplishments have been so great. Our regular meetings have been instructive as well as entertaining. These were followed by a social time, during which often the hostesses served dainty refreshments. The Society consists of three divisions, each in turn preparing special programs. One evening was devoted to the Panama Canal, the feature being the talk given by Miss Pearl Bennett, of the North Side High School. At another time Miss L. S. Norton entertained us with reminiscences of "Old German Towns" which she had visited, and Miss Effie Sands told us of her European trip. The initiations have been unique, strict and uproarously funny. Who of us will forget the first chafi,ng-dish party, or the evening Miss Hays so royally entertained us. One picture in Memory's Gallery will be that of the Hays Literary Society girls, grouped around the fireplace, where "the flick'ring shadows softly come and go," and Miss Hays playing for us, as we sang--and dreamed. A banquet, given in January, at Edens Hall, to the Mid-Year members, was unique, perfectly appointed, and harmonious in every detail. Plays? Yes! One morning in November, we appeared in "Little Women," in the Normal auditorium, for the purpose of entertaining the assembled Faculty and students. Surely we should believe them when they expressed their high appreciation. Cast "Little Women." Jo .......................................................

The Spring season stirred us to increased activity, especially in a social way. April 30 we spent at the Hays cabin, with such diversions as canoeing, a sumptuous repast on the large veranda, and legends told while lounging about the fireplace. While the red afterglow was still on the water, and the moon peeping between the trees, parting melodies were wafted across the surface of Lake Whatcom, which mirrored the lights of Silver Beach and the evening star. The great closing event is to be a banquet held at the Leopold Hotel. "We may build more splendid habitations, Fill our rooms with paintings and with sculptures, But we cannot Buy with gold the old associations."

We have enjoyed our work a great deal this year, for work and play have gone together. The "Valentine Program," held in February, is an example of this. After a few recitations had been given in honor of the Saint, and his history read, we devoted the rest of the time to emptying the contents of the Valentine box, which was completely filled. We laughed so over the "Modern American Humorist" program, that the whole Society was in good spirits the rest of the day. The annual number of the Oracle, our Society "paper," appeared as usual, with its editorial, articles and topics of local interest to the members. We all enjoyed the "Travel" program very much; especially the talks given by certain girls who had visited other countries. The Delphian and Swastika Literary Societies expect to have one general good time before school closes; namely, a hay-rack party. No definite preparations have yet been made. A few weeks ago we prevailed upon Mr. Patchin to let us buy a mirror, and we are very proud of our purchase. We are glad to say that the High School auditorium is now decorated with reproductions of famous paintings, and here wish to thank Mr. Patchin for his purchase. We commend his taste very highly, and invite the Normal students to come and see for themselves. Alumni Notes-The following are at home in this city: Katie Lough, Jessie Stave, Echo Walling, Edna Benson, Clara Bowden, Anna Dorr, Erma Hazleton, Cora McWilliam, Toah Moen, Lulu Pike, Evelyn Newell (South Bellingham), Ida Stivers, Mary Winchell, Virginia Mathes, Louise Henry, Winnie Lewis, Elizabeth Slater, and Nellie Hess, are attending the Normal of this city.

Page One Hundred Fifteen ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 116 ---------- [Image] MANUAL TRAINING CLUB Page One Hundred Sixteen ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 117 ---------- THE MANUAL TRAINING CLUB. (A History.) It was during the latter part of that benign month of Autumn, known as September, in the year 1913, as a result of suggestions from Mr. Gebaroff, that that celebrated organization known as the Manual Training Club began its fitful career; its see-saw, zig-zag journey down the storm corridors of Time. The Club was composed of both men and women who were interested in Manual Training; of that Class or type known as "workers", and workers they surely have proven to be in ever sense of the word. The officers for the first semester were: President ....................................... G. Sonners Vice-President .............................. F. Hubbard Secretary ....................................... Lillian Erickson Treasurer ....................................... G.F.D. Vander Mei Sergeant-at-Arms ........................ F. Owens Reporter ......................................... Nell Teglund Advisory Council .......................... Prof. A. Gebaroff The enterprising Chief Executive, with his able cabinet, soon placed the Club upon its feet, strengthened its shaky linancial foundation, set the wheels of Club government going, and began the publishing of a monthly pamphlet known as the Buzz Saw, which, under the able management of Mr. J. H. Jones, and Glen H. Bell, was printed monthly, for several months, and later converted into a quarterly publication. The purpose of this Club was, and still is: First, to promote the efficiency of its members. Second, to bring this school into connection with the other schools interested in Manual Training. Third, to bring the work accomplished here to the notice of the general public. The programs consisted of talks, and discussions of topics pertaining to Manual Training. At each program there was read also a Club paper, written by different members and enjoyed by the Club, showing that the organization has progressed along literary lines, as well as along the lines of Manual Training. For the Second Semester the Club chose the following officers, who have shown marked ability and keen foresight: President ............................................. Miss Parker Vice-President .................................... Boyd Ellis Secretary ............................................. Miss Sonners Treasurer ............................................. Ed lson Sergeant-at-Arms .............................. Miss Vulliet Reporter .............................................. F. Klaus Before the old regime closed, the officers gave a great banquet in honor of one of the members' birthday. This was the most elaborate affair in the history of the Club. Many distinguished guests were present. On May 4, 1914, the Club held its third election of officers. In this election very close rivalry was shown for the ascendency to the various offices of this progressive and enterprising Club. It was the case of the "survival of the fittest." Page One Hundred Seventeen ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 118 ---------- The following officers were elected: President ............................................... F. Allison Vice-President ...................................... Miss Blixt Secretary ................................................

The Club wishes to thank the following people for the aid and interest shown in its support: Miss Keeler, County Superintendent of Schools; Mrs. Preston, State Superintendent of Schools; Miss Baker, of B. S. N. S.; Messrs. Hulse, of B. S. N. S.; Hogan, of Burlington; Fields, of North Side High; Kenyon, of Seattle. AN INSPIRATION. Ah! can you not to some one say That you have gained from day day, Through look or book or other way? An inspiration. It may have been in some brilliant class Whether instructor, lad or lass, That you recall who was-or has An inspiration. Or better still on Assembly morn When passing up in style and form, The Faculty did the stage adorn An inspiration. Whether on campus in library or hall Where you find duty, pleasure or call. There some sweet message of love may fall. An inspiration. The little class down in the Training Schcol. In applying a Perspective Drawing rule. Or in Manual Training with many a tool. An inspiration. At two-thirty-five in Pol. Econ. You settle down as if all was done. But don't fall asleep there's much to be won. An inspiration. When you nave heard of the history and philosophy of the land, And wonder at the knowledge our instructor has at hand. You'll agree that Dr. Deerwester, too, can take his stand. An inspiration. How often have we gathered a Student Body grand, To hear both men and women from our and other's land, What we have yet before us and where to take our stand. An inspiration. And when you've sought all other source in every sort of way. And feel that you should have a rest, come, take it as you may. Just turn away at eventide and watch the close of day. An inspiration. E. LUND. Page One Hundred Eighteen ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 119 ---------- [Image] TACOMA CLUB Page One Hundred Nineteen ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 120 ---------- THE TACOMA CLUB. The "Tacoma Club" is the only organization at the B. S. N. S. which is composed of students from any particular part of the State. Those who make up the Club are students coming either directly from Tacoma, or the immediate vicinity of that city. About twenty-five girls and a very much smaller number of boys, compose the Tacoma Club. Upon organization, Mr. Louis Maglaughlin was elected President; Miss Anna Scanzon, Secretary, and Mr. Orrie Nobles, Staff Reporter. Due to the fact that the evening of the Normal students in general are greatly needed for more important work, we thought it considerate not to hold regular organized weekly or bi-weekly business meetings. We have found it effective and much more satisfactory to call a meeting whenever desired, rather than to hold the ordinary regular and often-times uninteresting evening business meetings. We are the one Club of the B. S. N. S. which always at every gathering has had plenty to eat. Despite the fact that we did not organize until the middle of the second quarter, we have had occasion for several very merry times. We had the great pleasure while at home during the Xmas holidays to hold an organization meeting at the home of Miss Josephine Andrak, in Tacoma. About twenty members were members were in attendance and after a delightful evening of business, refreshments and music, the meeting was adjourned. Upon our return to school we gave a very informal but enjoyable program, followed by a real "spread," which was served in fine fashion in the Domestic Science Department, Miss Anna Scanzan and Miss Ruth Barry being largely responsible for the success of this delightful addition. Another greatly enjoyed event was the hike taken to the summit of Mt. Chuckanut. About twenty-five members made the ascent, each feeling upon his return that the sight of the surrounding country, gained from that prominent point, was alone worth the struggle of attaining the peak. Each carried a bountiful lunch, which was gleefully spread upon the ground beside the spring, and in the shadow of the great stone precipice which crowns the summit of the peak. It is the intent of the Club to have several such hikes before the closing of the present school year, one of which will probably to the United States Government "Bulb Farm," by way of the beach, which is very wide and pretty at low tide. While we, as a Club, have not, in many ways, accomplished as much as the old societies, we feel that we have obtained some genuine good and real recreation out of our little society, and we hope that our successors will continue to exploit Tacoma, and our particular community, which has been so exceedingly generous in providing for our educational welfare. -O. N. N. Page One Hundred Twenty ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 121 ---------- [Image] SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB Page One Hundred Twenty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 122 ---------- Social Democratic Club That the Social-Democratic Club really does fill an important and vital need in the life of our Normal, has been proved by the extraordinary interest manifested, not only on the part of its members, but including the Faculty and the public generally. The first year of its organization has been translated into facts of human history. History that has been indelibly impressed upon the minds of those who participated in the Club's activities. Its beneficial influence has become part and parcel of our lives. In view of the growth and power of Social-Democracy, and, feeling the need of keeping in communion with social problems, the following social students, Josephine Andrak, Marguerite Uhler, Melvin Campbell, Walter Lidell, Albert Uticke, Edda Quinby, Grace McBurney, Gretchen Kaufman, Ernest Leo, Lena M. Finney, Cora M. Polly, Frances Johnson, Loomis E. Valliet, Mrs. Marguerite Weaver, Carrie Gunther and Marius Hansome met in the Society Hall of the Normal, December 11, 1913, for the purpose of organizing a Club, the aim of which should be "to study and promote interest in Socialism and Social Problems." Rules were drawn up, officers and committees were elected and put to work at once. Miss Joe Andrak was elected permanent Secretary. Provision was mnade for the election of a Chairman at each meeting. Prof. Bever served as Faculty patron. A program consisting of musical numbers, recitations and talks, was rendered on the evening of organization. The main features of the evening's program were two talks, one by Melvin Campbell, on "Some Observations on the Court of Louis XIV," and a talk by Marius Hansomie, on "Organization." The Club has held thirteen propaganda meetings and six business sessions. Space forbids an elaborate review of the various features of the programs. Suffice it to mention the important parts, viz. those respon-sibles for the lovely music that characterized every program: Misses Grace McBurney, Marguerite Uhler, Joe Andrak, Eddie Quinby, Frances .Johnson, Louisa E. Valliet, Carrie Gunther and Ernest Leo. Among the important speakers who appeared at different times befor the Club were: W. H. VWaynick, who gave "An Interpretation of the French Revolution," Miss Ida A. Baker reviewed sympathetically the "Militant Suffrage Movement in England," Miss Olive Edens with whom we shall always associate an inspiring talk on "Bernard Shaw," Marius Hansome lectured on "Socialism As An Ideal," Miss Gertrude Worden will be remembered for her attempt to clear up the "Theological Difficulty," Prof. H. C. Philippi for his instructive lecture on "Unrealized Possibilities in Hydro-Electric Power," Prof. .1. Bever's interesting view of "Eugenice," Prof. Wm. Moodie's treat to a stereopticon lecture on "Evolution." Mrs. Minnie Termaat gave a pleasing, though provoking talk on "August Strindberg." Mrs. R. W. Smith and Miss Mabel Shaefer, and many members, contributed to the Open Forum, which discussion was a constant feature of every program. Many valuable ideas were gained in the interchange of thoughts. The final banquet of the year was well attended. A pleasant repast was enjoyed. So were the toasts, recitals, and speeches, after which three cheers were given for the day when Social-Democracy will rise resplendent in the glory and triumph of universal brotherhood.

Another successful year has rolled by, and the C. A. M. club closes its doors for the summer. We leave behind us a rich legacy for the coming year. Those who take up the work where we left off will find that the paths leading upward have been faithfully trodden, and are now in a condition to be used. We did not burn our bridges behind us, but built the stronger. The officers for the year have been as follows: President ............................................ A. Peanut Secretary and Treasurer ................... Aunt Lillie Standing Committee ........................ A. B. Putty During the time we have been here we have gathered together at various times and places. The first of these was our informal prom., given on Sehome Dock, with a few of our select friends. The place was brilliantly lighted by our friends, Stella and Adolphus. Cricket furnished the music. Miss B. A. Putty touchingly rendtered, "What Are the Wild Waves Saying?" and Aunt Lillie gave us that famous speech of' John ,lJones Johnson, at the Battle of Kelchican. A. Peanut moved the gulls to Ilight by an impromptu Grecian dance. Our next affair was the luncheon at the Fish Cafe. Doughnuts and coffee were served at a late hour. On May first the C. A. M. Club went in a body to the Senior excursion, at Cypress Isle, and at Lunmi Isle the Club danced in a body. Our next event will take place soon. A climb up Sehome, to celebrate the entrance of our new honorary members. To the future members we bequeath our notes and our extra members. May the Club prosper long and earnestly and may the good work Ie carried on. SUNSET ON BELLINGHAM BAY. Lo! in the marvelous paintings of the West, Where Sol, decending, bows his stately head And leaves behind him countless tales unread, E're he folds in rosy hues to rest. And then, of all his radiant sheene divest; His trailing banners, by his beams, are lead Behind the sombre blue and ruby Bay. The earth with slumbers and sweet dreams is blest. O, my beloved, my most lovely stretch of sea, My perfect picture at the ev'en time! When Night in all her radiance chanced to be A painter, and uid wondrous things to thee! And so dost thou in tones of dusk and light Reflect the tho'ts and deeds of day-at night! - E. B. N., '14. Page One Hundred Twenty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 125 ---------- SOCIETY Page One Hundred Twenty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 126 ---------- Society This year has witnessed many social events given by the different Classes and Organizations of the Normal. The first social event was a "mixer" given by the Students' Association. The object of the evening was for the old students to greet again the students of former years, and to welcome the new ones. The student body was divided into groups, according to the month they were born in. These groups had then to represent their month in some stunt. As many of these stunts as possoble were given on the terrace and campus. The rest were given in the auditorium, closing which were addresses of welcome to the new girls and boys, and responses given by them. After singing many college songs we adjourned to the gym, where refreshments were served. The first reception of the year to Faculty and students, was given by the Y. W. C. A. Friday evening, September twenty-sixth. The rooms adjoining the auditorium were tastefully decorated with large bunches of purple asters, and the Association colors. The members of the cabinet, with Dr. Mathes, received the many guests. A "Conversazione," music and refreshments added to the pleasure of the evening. Our Senior Class is so large and so many have returned from former years, that none were able to recognize the Seniors from the student body, so a "mixer" for the Class was given in October. Everybody was dressed to represent their hobby, which caused a great deal of merriment. Everybody shook hands until their gloves were worn off. After a delightful evening spent in games, refreshments were served to about eight members of the Class. The first social event that Edens Hall gave this year was an Open House, when the doors were thrown open to the inspection of the friends and patrons of the School. The Hall was decorated in the House Colors, Green and Gold. The receiving line consisted of, Dean of the House Miss Effie Sands, the matron, Mrs. Ida Powell, and the House Council. The many guests were guided through the hall by the girl ushers, and were well pleased. After a tour of the rooms, tea was served in the dining hall. Perhaps the largest and most elaborate of the social functions in the Normal School circles for the year, was the annual reception given December seventh by the Senior Class to the students and their friends at the Aftermath Club- house. The reception hall was beautifully decorated with evergreens and yellow chrysanthemums, bringing out the Class Colors of Green and Old Gold. The many guests were received by the Class Teachers, Miss Frances Hays and Dr. Frank Deerwester, and the officers of the Class, Miss Emma Woodhouse, Miss Nellie Fegland, Miss Clara McKenzie, Mr. Martin Olson, and Mr. Edwin Nattrass. Following the reception, a grand march began, and during which conversations were held. At intervals throughout the evening, various conversations were held on the topics: "The Weather," "My Ideal Woman," "The Fashions," and "My Ambitions." During these conversations, a stringed orchestra rendered several splendid musical selections. A number of very interesting solos were given by Mrs. Frank Deerwester, Miss Virginia Mathes, Mrs. F. Thatcher, Miss Mabie Wheeler, Miss Maude Drake, Miss Geneva Sargison, Miss Aiken and Miss Watson. Readings were given by Miss Ruth Derifield. Later, dainty refreshments, in which the colors were carried out, were served. The committee in charge of the affair was composed of Miss Evelyn Britt, Chairman, Miss Page One Hundred Twenty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 127 ---------- May Richert, Miss Marguerite Black, and Miss Margaret McDonald.-- The Senior Christmas kindergarten party was given in the gym. December twelfth. Everyone was dressed as nearly as possible as their mothers used to regal them when they first began to tread the flowery paths of knowledge. Very few of the one hundred fifty-five members of the Class were absent, and those that were have been sorry ever since. We had a real Christmas program, and a tree, which held a present for everyone there. Then Santa Claus brought in his pack a stocking full of candy, apples and nuts for each. We were hurried home by the Normal police at 11:30 P. M., much to our disgust. January ninth witnessed a Character Party, given in the Domestic Science Department. Sorrow was felt for those who could not attend, for all who were present enjoyed themselves, and especially the ten buns each. The reception in honor of the Mid-Years was given January nineteenth, in Society Hall. The rooms were decorated with pennants and bananas. The upper hall served very nicely for a porch, with its ferns, easy chairs and Japanese lanterns. After various games and several selections on the new Victrola, refreshinents were served. The Senior Tea, given April eleventh, at the Aftermath, was a success. Very few of the young ladies of the class were absent. While busy plying the needle, a very delightful program was rendered, which consisted of readings and solos. Tea was served during the evening. Miss Eva M. Slater was Chairman of the committee in charge. THE DELPHIAN GIRLS. Tune: "Marching Thru' Georgia.' I. We're a band of merry girls that always stick together, We have a meeting every week in fair or rainy weather, We have a program each half month, to cheer up one another, We are the Delphian Girls. CHORUS. We know, we know, that we are very proud; WVe know, we know, we are a noisy crowd; Put as to class we're not surpassed, We'll sing our praises loud; We are the Delphian Girls. II. Now we tell you plainly that we don't meet just for fun; We've lots of other business that concerns us every one, We plan our work and play besides and are excelled by none, We are the Delphian Girls, BIRDELLA HERSHEY. Page One Hundred Twenty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 128 ---------- Music Page One Hundred Twenty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 129 ---------- Music As the School Year draws to a close, and we call to mind the various activities which have been enthusiastically supported, each brings a feeling of school pride, and to some who were leaders, the thought l)rings a personal satisfaction, which is the just due of all who give their best efforts. Those who have been interested in mlusic during the past year, have as much cause for pride and satisfaction in their work as any ether group of workers. From the beginning of the year such general interest was shown that old-timers were able to predict an exceptionally good year musically. The Choral Club was organized with a good membership before the end of September. The general chorus work was well begun before the first of October. During the first semester, part of the assembly period was devoted to music three days out of the week. At the beginning of the second semester these snatches of songs were collected into a delightful music hour which every one enjoyed. The aim of this course was to develop the love of good music. Only the best music was sung and many times Mrs. Thatcher made this hour a real treat by telling us of favorite artists and playing their records on the Victrola. For a few months there was a musical program for the benefit of all music lovers, in the auditorium once a week. The school orchestra of twenty pieces directed by Mme. Engberg has been working faithfully with good music. Every time they have played before the student body their work has been highly praised. Music has been a prominent feature in our assemblies, several very pleasing programs having been rendered during the year. The Kellogg-Haines Company's number of the lecture course was a rare treat. It is very seldom that such talent and such a fine program can be obtained as a lecture course number. The Pullman Glee Club must not be forgotten for they gave us a most pleasant and interesting evening. The crowning event year was the rendition of Coldridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha." The music was very difficult, the harmonies close, and as a whole it required an infinite amount of drill and exceptional leadership ability to produce a finished effect. The chorus of one hundred voices, directed by Mrs. Thatcher, composed the musical talent. The orchestra under the direction of Mine. Engberg, was one of the features of the evening. The music was in such harmony with the thought of the words that it was a great aid to the singers. The soloists were Mrs. Frank Deerwester and Mr. C. Sullivan. Both solo parts were beautifully rendered. Many consider this the best musical production given by Bellinghamn local talent this year. It was a great undertaking for a school of this size, and although it would not have been such a great success had it not been for the outside help it shows that the Normal is wide-awake musically. We are glad that our Mrs. Thatcher sets and maintains a good standard. Now in looking back over the year, in which there was no failure to mar complete satisfaction, we should all feel the stirring of a just pride. Page One Hundred Twenty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 130 ---------- Drama Page One Hundred Thirty ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 131 ---------- The Drama The Normal School has distinguished itself in the field of dramatics this past year. We have given to the public a list of the highest class of dramatic literature. Most of our plays this year have been one act sketches, and we have found them successful in all ways. The one-act play is coming to the front, and it is especially adapted to schools. One long play takes in only a few characters, and all the work falls on them, which is too much with the students' other work; whereas, say three one-act plays takes in three times as many people, gives more an opportunity, and the work is more evenly divided. On December twelfth, the Thespian Dramatic Club presented in the Auditorium, before a large audience, "The King's Threshold," by G. B. Yets,-one of the two foremost Irish dramatists. Following this was given a clever little comedy by Marjorie B. Cooke, "When Love Is Young." On February twelfth the Dramatic Club presented "The Violin-maker of Cremona," by Francois Coppee. This little play was one of the chief pieces in the repertoire of J. Coquelin, the eminent French actor. The Juniors gave us many hearty laughs on February twenty-seventh, when we welcomed "Charley's Aunt" to our midst. Altfiough this farce is not a play of late years, having been the forerunner of all farces, it always provokes a great deal of amusement and fun. The Hays Literary Society entertained us with an evening of Modern Fiction, dramatized. The first on the program was a scene from that delightful story, "Anne of Green Gables." "Everystudent" followed this, and brought home some good sound philosophy and truth. "Success is never reached without the help of Toil, and Failure will always follow in the footsteps of Luck and Laziness." The last scene on the program was from "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." Instead of giving a long play this year, the Senior Class gave us two sketches from the pens of two most gifted, but widely different dramatists. "The Far-Away Princess," by the German realist, Sudermann, was a most beautiful and poetic drama. In contrast to this was the play by George Bernard Shaw, "How He Lied to Her Husband," scintillating with humor and abounding in clever lines. This year the vaudeville was under the auspices of the Thespian Dramatic Club. There were a variety of acts on the program. On the fourteenth of May, the Dramatic Club will present "The Arms and the Man," by George Bernard Shaw. This play is one of Shaw's most popular dramas, having been produced many times, both in England and the United States. This is a satire on the idealization of the soldier-man and the art of war, and like all of the articles from Shaw's pen, underneath all the cleverness is a serious purpose. From the foregoing you can readily see that our productions this year have been of a high standard. This is an era of the drama. The most vital questions of the day are therein discussed and brought before the public notice. Therefore, we as teachers, should become better acquainted with that wonderful art. In the name of the School and all those interested in dramatics, we wish to extend our heartfelt thanks and loving remembrance to our Coach, Miss Doris B. Smith.

The Athletic season at the Bellingham State Normal started shortly after the opening of scholo, when Captain Starr Sutherland and Coach Turner made the first call for football turnout. We certainly had a promising looking bunch on the field. After a little more than a week's practice, the boys were sent to Ferndale to try conclusions with the heavy Ferndale bunch. Upon the clearing away of the smoke, it sounded like Normal 13, Ferndale 0. After another week of grinding practice, the boys met the Mount Vernon Athletic Club, which was made up of old High School and College players. The Normal again proved the better drilled and won by a score of 14-7. The third week came the trip to Everett, which was surely helped a lot by a boat load of most enthusiastic rooters. During the early part of this game the Normal played Everett to a standstill, but the greater length of season, and training Everett had been through gave them the advantage, and spelled defeat for the Blue and White. After this defeat football was suspended for two weeks by a Faculty ruling. The boys next locked horns with Ferndale for the second time, and defeated them by a still larger score than before. The season was closed with the annual game with the Bellingham High School. As usual it commanded the greatest interest of the season, both teams having out a large number of rooters. The game was the hardest fought and most interesting of the season, but needless to say, both schools were doomed to disappointment, for each had hoped to win, and yet had to be content with a nothing to nothing score. The men who played the required number of halves to make letters were as follows: Starr Sutherland, rh.; Knaack, re.; W. Sutherland, b.; Dahlquist, rt.; Ed Nattrass, fb.; Osier, le.; Paul Marshal, qb.; Jones, c., It.; Munks, It.; T. Marshal, le.; Emery, g.; M. Olsen, g., It., Ingman, g.; Hanson, It.; G. Sonner, g. Next year's football team will have to be made up of new men, who enter school, as of this year's team we lose S. Sutherland, P. Marshall, Nattrass, Munks, Jones, Dahlquist, Knaack, Olsen, Osier, and C. Ingman. 0 % BASKETBALL. Almost before the echoes of the last football game had died away, Coach Sam Carver and Manager Knaack had a large squad hard at work on the basketball floor. The rivalry for place on the team was very keen. After a week or so of practice a fast team was picked and rounded into shape. Ed. Nattrass was elected Captain. The team made a trip to Eastern Washington, which proved both pleasant and successful in the way of games. This year's team is leaving behind a record of which the School can well be proud. The team is credited with the championship of the Northwestern Non- Conference Colleges. The following games were playes: Normal 21; Elks 29. Normal 31, N. Bellingham High 12. Normal 37, So. Bellingham High 9. Normal 15, Y. M. C. A. 23. Normal 15, Whitworth College 19. Page One Hundred Thirty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 135 ---------- Normal 40, Orting 11. Normal 22, Ellensburg Normal 24. Normal 21, Ellensburg Normal 18. Normal 36, S. Bellingham High 15. Normal 18, Y. M. C. A. 54. Normal 24, Whitworth College 19. Normal 38, N. Bellingham High 15. Normal 39, Elks 23. Total, Normal 357; Opponents, 271. The following men played the required number of halves to make letters: Nattrass, F.; Swartz, F.; Knaack, F.; Dahlquist, C.; Hubbard, C. F.; Lee, G.; Marshall, G. Next year's basketball teaim will depend largely upon new men, and this year's second team men, as Hubbard and Swartz are the only men who will be back in school. BASEBALL. Along with the coming of the warm spring days, the sharp crack of the baseball on the bat could he heard on the campus. A large turn out was on the field and assisted by Coach Wright, was fast whipped into shape. The boys have up to the present won half of their games by the following scores: Normal, 6; So. Bellingham High, 5. Normal, 2; Ferndale, 9. Normal, 4; Ferndale, 10. Normal, 9; So. Bellingham High, 8. Normal, 10; Snohomish. 6. Many more games are scheduled to be played, and as the team is putting up a better class of ball, it is expected they will win the most of the remaining games. The following men are playing on the team: P. Marshall, p., ss.; Sandburg, c.; E. Gannon, p., 2b.; K. Lewis, If.; V. Lee, lb.; E. Nattrass, cf.; R. Montgomery, ss.; C. Neeley, rf.; F. Swartz, 3b.; R. Week, utility; Hanson, utility. TRACK The track team of 1912-13 proved to be a contender in the Inter- City Track Meet, between the Normal, North Bellingham High, and So. Bellingham High. The score stood, No. Bellingham 69, Normal 37, So. Bellingham 16. The following men made letters: Nattrass, Gibb, Hall, King, Wilson, Burpee and Yoder. The track prospects for this year look very bright, with such men as Nattrass, Arnold, Fegley, for the middle distances; Knaack and Montgomery for the sprints; Gimmel, T. Marshall, for the mile; Neeley, broad jump, Bonser, weights, and P. Marshall for the pole vault. It is to be hoped for those who come after us, that this school will build a new gymnasium and put in a new Athletic field. The lack of these very greatly hamper our Athletic teams. Also, the lack of these very greatly decreases the attendance of boys, who would otherwise come here. It is to be hoped that every coming Normal Athletic team will be a winner; if not, be a game, honorable loser. P. M., '14.

In anticipation of the Inter-Class contest in basketball, for the possession of the Kline Cup, the girls of the various classes began working up their teams early in the season, with very good results. The Freshmen were handicapped from the first by a lack of numbers to draw from, for a strong team. They made a brave try, however, and succeeded in getting a team which showed up fine in the first game; but before the second game, they lost some of their players, and were forced to drop out of the contest. The line-up, which Mr. Sonner, as Coach, had in fine form at the beginning of the season, was as follows: Amy Hansley, Imogene Lynch, forwards; Effie Turner, Theresa McDowell, guards; Marguerite McDowell, center; Imogene Lynch, captain. The Sophomores were more fortunate in having such reliables as Lehman, Egbert, and Bradford, who played together last year as Freshmen, return. With Lehman acting as Coach, and with such material to work on as Lizzie Egbert and Stella Bradford, forwards; Margaret Mc- Dowell, center, and Madeline Nicol and Edith Lehman, guards, the team were surely a formidable enemy at the opening of the contest and had very bright prospects as a winning team. The Juniors, who usually have the most material for a good team, were less fortunate this year than usual. While they had plenty of good material for a team, it seemed almost impossible to get enough to turn out for practice so that the regular team would have a full team Page One Hundred Thirty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 139 ---------- to practice against. This made it practically impossible for the Coach to bring out the best of which the girls were capable. The line-up for the season follows: Alice Cropper, Relta Nichols, forwards; Emily Webber, Ermine Forrest, Delsea Tooker, Ruth Willard, guards. The Seniors were favored with a good turn-out to basketball practice, and a great deal of spirit and enthusiasm. This coupled with hard work under a good Coach like Mr. Knaack, was what made the Senior team, when it appeared in I)ecember, such a success. Those conimprising the team in the beginning were "Em." Woodhouse, and "B." Bair, forwards; Lois Brooks, center, and Nell Tegland and Ruth D)erifield, guards. The fact that the finals had to be put over into the second semester was especially hard on the Seniors, as both forwards graduated in the Mid-year Class ,and one of the guardls had to dlropl out, necessitating three changes in the line-up just before the finals. Jennie Sandgren was put in Ruth Derifield's place as guard, and Ielen Burnham and Mrs. Needham as forwards. Of course, this put Lhem at some disadvantage for the finals. Emma WVoodhouse was Captain the first semester, and Helen Burnham was chosen for the rest of the season, while Edythe Laylon was chosen to till Beatrice Bair's place as Manager. SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM The line-up for the season follows: Emma Woodhouse, Beatrice Bair, Helen Burnham, Lucile Needham, forwards; Lois Brooks, center; Nellie Teglund, Ruth Derifield, Jennie Sandgren, guards. Page One Hundred Thirty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 140 ---------- When the first games of the season were called December fifth, every team was in its place with the Freshmen opposing the Juniors, and the Sophomores the Seniors. Although the Freshmen team was light, they did some fast playing, their guarding being especially strong, carrying off the honors with a score of 6-3 in their favor. The Senior and Sophomore teams were very closely matched, both doing some fine work. The Seniors, however, succeeded in keeping the lead, and won by a score of 5-3. The next set of games, which did not come off until after the holidays, lacked vim. The Freshmen who were to meet the Seniors gave them the game by default, while the Sophomores walked away with the scalps of the Juniors. This left the final contest between the Sophonlores and Seniors who met February 13th. The game was a fast one, each one doing her level best in her pllace. The equality of the teamns kept the score low aind very much the same for both sides. The Sophomores succeeded in making the last basket giving them a score of eight as compared with the Senior score of six. This leaves the Kline Cup in the possession of the Sophomore Class, for the year 1913-14. The award of "Letters" to the ten best players has not yet been made, so we cannot give the names of the recipients at this lime.

Gerald Sonner, Elida Nordeen Faculty Representatives ........................ Frank Deerwester, F. W. Epley The installation of the new officers of the Students' Association on May 3, 1914, marked the close of one of the most successful administrations in the history of the Association. The financial, social and athletic activities of the students were handled in a manner that reflects nothing but credit upon the retired Board of Control. Ex- President Dahlquist was tireless in the service of the students, patiently and perseveringly fostering school spirit, giving unselfishly of his time and energy for the advancement of the Association. His efforts were ably seconded by the remainder of the Board. The students are especially fortunate in the Faculty memlbers whom they have re-elected to the Board. Their maturity of judgment and keen business insight are indispensable. Briefly, the duties and prerogatives of the Students' Association at the present time are as follows: The maintainance of a book-store in Page One Hundred Forty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 148 ---------- the school building for the convenience of the students; the publishing of the monthly "Messenger"; the direction of athletics, and the promotion of the social side of student life. Under the regime just passed, the book-store reached the highest state of efficiency which it has yet attained. More than any other one thing, this was due to the thorough business ability of F. W. Peterson, Manager of the store. His painstaking methods were responsible for a vast increase in the volume of business. The courteous professional treatment accorded the patrons of the store was in itself a distinct advance over previous years. "The Messenger" throughout the year was cleverly written, attractively illustrated and artistically printed. The credit for this should rest with the editors, business manager, and staff, rather than with the student body as a whole. As regards the securing of editors, the plan of last year, by which a new editor was appointed each month, was dropped, and the editors appointed served for a full semester. Miss Signa Westrom had charge of the paper during the first half of the year, Miss Helen Boucher during the latter. Mr. Gerald Sonner, Business Manager, provided a commendable amount of pithy advertising for each issue. The athletic ventures of the Normal School, during the last year were, on the whole, successful. All the teams equipped, with the possible exception of the football squad, gave good accounts of themselves. Financially, basketball and track were self-supporting; football, baseball and tennis were played at a loss. The Students' Association welcomed the students at the beginning of the school year with a mixer; entertained them with a carnival during the fall term; sent them home for the winter holidays with the memories of a Christmas tree fresh in their minds; and bade them farewell in the Spring with a jollification on the campus.

I sat in my room, idly dreaming, In a far-off Southern town; My eyes grew dim and a aream, it seemed, Of the future floated down. I found myself in a spacious hall With a quiet and grave assembly, At the end of the hall, above the door, Was printed the word "Primary;" I gazed on the throne and heard the words "Bow down, bow down to Montgomery." In the never-ending hall, listless, I turned, thrice I paused and knelt And caught in awe-struck tones, the names "McCarthy, Termaat and Felt;" Past Drake, with roguish eye, to the right The words, "see me," were spelt. And away above, and quite apart, Behold! one with visage stern; Who slasps in her hand a roll called "Fate," Which makes ambitious students yearn; My heart stands still, with humble grace, I to stately Norton turn. I awoke with a start, "My future- Is it this?" I asked with dread, For answer, an old class motto came, "Climb, tho' the rocks be rugged." Page One Hundred Forty-Nine -A.

For years he has stood at the helm of our institution and guided it over a sea, sometimes rough and stormy, but always into the sunshine on the other side. Through his influence and interest we have kept up our standards and B. S. N. S. stands highest in the West. Dr. Mathes has watched our Normal grow from a small institution of a hundred or more students to a place second in the West, with an enrollment of over seven hundred. He has watched us climb and has by his ever watchfulness, helped us to do so. We of the Class of June, nineteen fourteen, wish to express our appreciation of the interest we feel Dr. Mathes has in our Class indi. vidually and as a whole, and we are glad he is to go out with us, instead of before us. We also extend our sympathy to those who are not as fortunate as we are, and we hope they will find in their new President the wisdom and helpfulness we always found in Dr. Mathes. In the new career he has chosen, we wish him success,-the same kind and more, that marked his reign among us in the Normal. E. N.

Mr. Bever: Resolved, That all students be forbidden to snooze over three-fourths of any Class period. Dr. Deerwester: Resolved, That no student be granted a diploma except on the condition that they marry within ten years after graduation. Miss Worden: I wish to amend the above to read: Resolved, That no student be granted a certificate in any manner, shape or form, unless they promise to marry the first opportunity that presents itself.

Needham how she spent Sunday. Boyd Ellis hastily replied in her behalf. "I bet I know. She got her Phil of Ed." Miss Edens-"Where did you learn punctuation, Mr. Dahlquist-"I didn't learn it. I invented it." Mr. Dahlquist?" A Senior returning over the briny deep from her picnic, was visibly affected by the gentle rocking of the boat, and was heard to exclaim in the most melancholy tones of regret: "0, I have lost my picnic"-and the fishes rejoiced! Mrs. Thatcher (in Music class)- too old and worn out for school." "I think 'Darling Nellie Gray' is K. Hougan-"May I take your suitcase?" Mary S.-"No, thank you; I might need it again." B. Emery (in Express III.)-"Oh, dainty Meriel,- -little April day! However warmly pouting lips may cry nay, That little hand shall rest in mine-" Mrs. Smith-"Oh, Mr. Emery, I like that fine! You should practice that kind; it's just your style." Page One Hundred Seventy ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 171 ---------- DAY OF PICNICS. O you needn't start to whisper None would believe it anyway, Doctor chaperoned us nicely, Made a prim and proper day. Of course Miss Conners "raised Old Harry," Bothered those who tried to read, Picnics were not meant for reading, But for fun and a chance to feed. Tho' Emery kept us all a waiting, While he wandered in the woods With girls-complete forgetting, What we went for-it is good. Supper out on Lummi Island, Hail the grape-juice and its power. Tho' Peterson kept it well diluted, Fun and frolic held the hour. Martin believes in self-preservation, Got some pies and hid them well, Hid them so he couldn't find them, Some one else-now don't you tell. Frieda Dierling takes no chances Much delights the beach to roam. She and Hevly quickly left us, They preferred to be alone. Oh 'twas nice and quiet returning, Little groups sat here and there, Ruth and Rudolph in the cabin's shadow, 0 you can tell it-they won't care. Then at last we reached the harbor, Stepped we forth upon the shore, Our glad day at last was ended, We'll forget it, nevermore. Who greased the front door of Edens' Hall while Miss Sands was away? Suitable reward for conviction of culprit.-F. Hubbard, attorney. She-"Would you mind putting yourself out for me?" He-"I'd just love to!" She-"Well, do please! It's nearly twelve, and I wish to go to bed." Heard in the Mulsic Room. Mrs. Thatcher--"Miss Boyd, what dloes F. F. mean?" Elise Boyd-"Fast and furious!" Page One Hundred Seventy-One ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 172 ---------- SNAP SHOT SENIOR PICNIC ENNUI. I'm sick of the mountains, The lakes and the plain; And even the seashore Just gives me a pain. I'm weary of places Vacationists roam:- I'm weary of loafing- I want to go home. I'm bored with the hammocks That lazily swing. I'm sick of the birdies That warble and sing. I'm sick of flirtations As frothy as foam. I long for the city- I want to go home. I want to be busy Where life is athrob; I want to be hustling, Get back on the job. The spring is near over, And up in my dome This carol is ringing, I want to go home! Page One Hundred Seventy-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 173 ---------- When it was suggested in English XI. that "A Love Story" be the next written assignment, objections were raised by some because they had had no experience. Someone suggested that Ruth ought to be able to write one, to which she replied. "I can't get a true perspective on my experience, so don't ask me." BEWARE! If you study oft on Sunday You'll have no harp or wings, And you'll never go to heaven Where they have the dainty things, But you'll go to regions sultry, On the cinder path below, Where you'll pleasure take in greeting, All the "profs" you used to know. A LIFE LESSON. Miss Sands, as she shot from the library door, Laid poor Mr. Vander Mei prone on the floor. Let this be a warning to those who are tall; Boast not of your height, lest your pride have a fall. Again the wonderful reasoning powers of the human mind have triumphed over all obstacles. It has been announced, after diligent observation on the part of the investigators, and careful examination of symptoms that Miss Baker and Mr. Patchin are engaged. What next? First Midget-"The boys at the Normal are not allowed to join the Y. W. C. A., are they?" Second Midget-"I don't know just how they are allowed, but I see that Mr. Knaack has been taken in by the President." There are metres of accent, There are metres of tone; The best of all metres Is to met her alone. There are letters of accent, There are letters of tone; The best of all letters Is to let her alone. Page One Hundred Seventy-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1914 - Page 174 ---------- The mule, he is a gentle beast, And so is man. He's satisfied to be the least, And so is man. Like man he may be taught some tricks, He does his work from seven till six. The mule, when he gets mad he kicks And so does man. The mule, he has a load to pull, And so has man. He's happiest when he's full, And so is man. Like man he holds a patient poise And when his work's done will rejoice. The mule, he likes to hear his voice, And so does man. The mule is sometimes kind and good, And so is man. He eats all kind of breakfast food, And so does man. Like man he balks at gaudy dress And all outlandish foolishness. The mule's accused of mulishness, And so is man. -E. B., '14.

While the twilight shades sink lower Upon Olympic's rugged hills, Where Docewallip's ceaseless flow Is formed of many mountain rills, I see the sun's receding gold Outpoured upon the river's strand. Then, far away from east to west, Bold Darkness lifts his shadowy crest. MARGARET A. MOSSFORD.

Page Seventy ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 71 ---------- Senior Class Poem A Prayer We pray not, Lord, for easy things to do, As forth we go to enter in Life's stride; We ask not that Thy hand may trace for us A path so full of happy harmony That naught is seen of sorrw, toil, or pain. We leave our life of being taught, O, God, Inspired to go to lives more frail than ours,- To children, ready for a shaping hand,- To make or mar the clay entrusted us. O! teach us, Lord, to see thy great design; Teach us to mold each vessel for Thy use, To learn from Thee when best to do, or wait. When, in the turmoil that each day brings forth,- The work "that bids not sit, nor stand, but go,"- Let not the thrills and inspiration wane Which now impels us onward to the task, And burnishes with gold that hazy land Of future days and opportunities. When each to-morrow shall become to-day And present needs efface the brimming past, O, may the gladd'ning impulse still return And fill again our hearts with joy, for this Our labor in the needy world of men. And, Lord, in all our striving, keep us true! Burn from our thoughts the greed for gold or gain; Keep out of sight all sense of selfish aim; Make us to feel as ours each childish pain,- Each vital interest, be it joy or woe, Till, thru us, Thou thyself art felt to be The Heart of sympathy,-and we shall know That gladness comes by giving others joy!

The aforesaid document, purporting to be the last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of the Bellingham State Normal School, is on this second day of June, Nineteen-Fifteen, admitted to probate. WALTER R. FEGLEY, Judge of Superior Court. Bellingham State Normal. Page Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 75 ---------- Class Prophecy AND it came to pass in the first days of Nash, that a great plague came upon the land in the form of a Senior Class meeting. And behold, the Captain of the Guard, Deerwester, dreamed that he dreamed a dream. And great sadness came upon him for he was not able to interpret. And he dreamed that he called unto him a certain Senior, who was wont to sleep, and dream much, and told him his dream in this wise: "Lo! I saw twenty great stars, and more than one hundred fifty smaller stars, scattered throughout the four corners of heaven. And the twenty great stars were not, and the one hundred fifty smaller stars came together and appeared as one great star. When, lo! the one star broke into many shapes and colors, and I saw them as people, clothed in curious raiment and running about as in great joy and prosperity.." The interpreter of dreams, having learned the meaning of things in his Philosophy Classes, spake thus: "This is the interpretation of what you have told: The twenty great stars are as twenty years of labor, and prosperity and peace on the earth. The one hundred fifty smaller stars are the Seniors of Nineteen-Fifteen, scattered to the ends of the earth in the twenty years of peace. And yet in twenty years they shall be brought together as in one body, and you shall see them as persons and friends." And the Captain of the Guard saw that the interpretation was good. And, lo! as he slept, he dreamed again, and the twenty years were fulfilled, and the Class of Nineteen-Fifteen were gathering from all the land to attend a great feast in the radiant banquet-room of a changed Edens Hall. In the most prominent place in the reception line, as host, stood the Ruler of the Campus, Orrin Anderson. At his side stood Lew Greene, one so mighty in learning that his reward had been the Chair in Sociology at Columbia University. There stood Margaret Meek, chosen by the people to be Chief Keeper over all the Schools of Washington. And, lo! there was Lue Earnst, declared by the teachers of the nation, most fit to be a leader, for she is President of the National Education Association. In the line was Alice Reed, now Registrar, for it had come to pass that she had served worthily as Senior Secretary. Lo! in these days she was set over many, and was wont to use her hours in keeping the flocks from destroying the green hillsides of the Campus. There, too, were others gracious and wise; the Dean of Women, Vernie Smith, Mrs. Tupper, whom the Ruler of the Campus had set over all the Training School, and without whom no one could move hand or foot. There was Claude Manley, Guard over the High School, for before him had been Ed. Olson, who having taken unto himself a wife, was cast out and declared ill-favored to maintain the ideals of that department in Practice Teaching. There were Theresa Tromp and Anna Breum, bearing the marks of mighty teachers of History in the School,-Phillips and Young, clothed in middies of many colors, for these had been sought out to teach Tennis and Gymnasium in the School. And this was all the number in the receiving line on the evening of the great feast. Yet, as they waited, there was a sound as of the rushing of the Page Seventy-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 76 ---------- tide, and over the whole earth, Seniors from the north, east, south, and west, began to pitch their tents towards Bellingham, and the great banquet hall. Who are these first to arrive, led by Captain Herre, who has sought them out from all the City? There pass Mrs. Korthauer and her hand-maidens, Jaquith, McLeod, Mansfield, Howe, Hayward, Whittaker, and Hatt,-all Keepers of the Roeder School. As these reach the end of the line, there was the sound of the flutter of mighty wings, and a great, dark cloud settled. Here was Weina Granberg, of the City of Astoria, with her eero-jitney, bringing many from the land of San Francisco and Portland. They enter. "Babe" Walker, Associate Manager of the rubber plantation in Mexico, and there were precious stones on her hands, and upon her hair, the likes of which were not to be found in all the land,-nay not among kings and mighty rulers; Anne Brown, with her husband, a mighty man of healing, and five stalwart sons, good to look upon. With them came Harriet Mendenhall, the Captain of all the Fields of Play throughout the land; Jessie Lieser, the Patroness of Learning in the University of California; Mabel Jackson and Bertha Simpson, counted as worthy of high honor in San Francisco, because of their profitable labor in the Associ. ated Charities. And, lo! as he dreamed, he was filled with wonder at the tents covering the Campus, over toward High Street, and whence came that nickering of horses? Maidens Bassett and Beach were proclaimed as arriving in the land, with a prodigious pony show. With them was Adda Jones, the tight-rope wonder, and all marveled at the revelation of the value of balance exercises in P. C. Methods. And it came to pass that Mary and Edith, the daughters of Davis, came a three-days' journey from the city of Chicago, bringing with them their families and their household goods and their trunks, and all that was theirs; rejoicing that they had returned to stay in the Land of Bellingham, after lo! these many years. And there came Edith and Ethel her sister, from Arizona, where they passed the fleeting days, demonstrating the Dellinger Method of teaching wisdom to the youth of the Nation's High Schools. The author of the Method arrives with one, who is known in the gates and sitteth among the elders of the land." Behold as he dreamed he saw a great Ford driven by Lytton Swartz, and bearing many from the East: Ernest, son of Neely, and his good wife; Ellen McClung Vanderbilt, J. H. Jones, once the stay and support of the World Peace Movement, now possessor of the wondrous Columbian Theatre, on Broadway,-and, lo! there was much sadness in the waiting audience at New York that night, for he had brought the leading lady, Inga Larsen. And it came to pass that from the land of South America, came men and maidens, to the ruler's great feast. For, behold, in the years before, Arthur Smith, having chosen a maiden for his wife, had sought out Rev. Wayne Bonser, at the third hour. The ceremony over, he fled into South America, where he was put in command over the Bon Marche extension. As the plenteous years brought forth gain in handfuls, there had been sent unto him Sue Ewart as advertising agent. The business then produced in such plenty that they must needs call Donald Croy and Helen Beck and Helen Day, to help number the increasing Page Seventy-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 77 ---------- dollars. From this land came, too, Christine Victor and Nora Williams, Keepers of the Bon Marche's tea- room; finest among all nations. From another land of the South came Abbie Crepeau, who dwelt in the great City of Panama, where she had found and cared for her true love through years of yellow fever. With them came their governess, Dawn Jennings, and their stenographer, Jessie Busfield. In the dream, as these neared the end of the Hall, still others stood in the door-way: Mary Kent and Ruth McClelland, with the goodmen of their houses, rich in railroads and art galleries. These had returned in haste from the season of Music at Vienna. Lo! with them were Varsilla Geberoff, and Luella Airth, who had left for the few days, their work of years,-the service of stretching out their hands to the strangers of Ellis Isle. Christine Johnson and Elva Boucher caused rejoicing among the whole congregation, for, lo! the last fifteen years had seen them serving as missionaries in Siberia. The Captain of the Guard was disturbed in his dream to know what had led Elva to choose to walk the earth alone. Where had-, but other guests distracted his thoughts. Hall, Holmes, and Cook, the Keepers of "Olde Faithful Inn," were just announced, when a swift-running messenger brought word into the Ruler of the Campus. He read the same to the people: "Greetings: Behold in the land there is a great scarcity of Indians and cowboys. These must still provide for the winter's demand in the 'movies.' While they are yet in the land we cannot come." From Loretta Murphy, Anna Hudson, Florence Felter. Hereupon there was weeping and rending of garments in the congregation. Sorrow was soon tured to rejoicing by the arrival of Donald Mair's private yacht, bearing friends from the many Nations of Europe. In that hour came Martha Sonju, the Sociologist, from the University of Christiania; Ethel Martin, known in those days as prima donna; Lee Sherwood, famed for her lyric verse; Helen Byles, who had left her chateau in Britainy; Flora Lachmund, the popular American peeress from England. After a romantic youth, she now looks well to the ways of her household. Elida Nordeen and Carrie Docherty, who had come this long way, bringing their husbands, who had been sought out and sent into the lands of Belgium and Russia, as consuls and advisers. There came, too, Mrs. Bleam, Hallie Brennesholtz, Bada Bergren, So- Surely Emily, Olive Rohrbaugh, and Mary Sutton, clothed in rich garments, bearing the marks of Paris, glad to return from a three-weeks sojourn in the wilderness of the Nile, where they had been led by Ethel Storms, Martha Carson and Mrs. Taylor, learned in the wisdom of archaeology. Yet in the same strong vessel came Rose Peterson, Ruth Van Zandt and Louise Abbott, who had been sent to spy out the progress of learning in all the nations throughQut the earth. And it came to pass that they brought with them Rachel Van Devanter, the President of the Federation of Women's Clubs in America. And as he looked to see who was with her, the Captain of the Guard beheld that it was one known by all,- Mrs. Vaughn, Lecturer and International President of the Y. W. C. A. Who are these in white kid gloves and raiment of beauteous colors? Lo! Aida Uddenberg, with her son, a comely youth; one much learned in the science of Orthodontistry. There, too, are Nan Skally and Mary Dooley, with their husbands, who left the interpretation of the law, in Page Seventy-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 78 ---------- the days when Avis Bowman closed her "Home for Divorced Young Women," but, lo! now they are in their years of plenty as dealers in houses and lands. In rich apparel there follow stately matrons, with the bearing of those who rule many servants. These the Captain knew in other years as Theo Lewis, Corrine Lachmund, May Ramberg, and Maude Kiner, missionary, and pin-money abounds for these through the writing of model lesson plans for the much-put-upon Practice Teachers. Fay Shepherd is there, too, for she and her goodman have left their flocks in the enfolding hills of Idaho, to come to the great feast, where they will meet one wise and' prosperous in caring for his Australian flocks, David Ruchman. Who are these with gay countenances and high-heeled shoes, and this summer's hats? These are Annie Shannahan, Mrs. Royal, Vivia Suti, Elsie Perry, Marie Chapman, and Elva Nuttall, who have excelled all the daughters of the earth as stenographers and milliners and dealers in ladies' raiment. And it came to pass that others entered in plain attire,-stiff collars, and dark blue suits of serge. The Captain knew these as Maidens Westby, Newell, Mackey, Carlson, and Carroll. These are they who have endured and succeeded in the teaching profession, and are come from all parts of the United States. Lo! there came some belonging to the same uniform: Katherine Barry, Judge over the Schools of the City of New Orleans, and her good helper, Josephine Beatty,-and Mary Rees, the maker of a better system, whereby the nation may train up its children to be strong and graceful. In that hour there was much mourning at W. S. C., for the Classes in Campustry were closed in those days that Frances Riggs, the Captain of the department, might go into the Land of Whatcom to the reunion. And as he dreamed the Captain of the Guard saw, in the early years, Clara Brown leave her Agricultural Station in Iowa, for a home in a great city in the Land of Missouri. And, behold! there grew up thistles in her land until in later years, Nellie Deir and Genevieve Finnegan, went forth to make a home for weary teachers of the children of the earth. The former Clara Brown, he saw pass down the line, but these must needs stay in the Land of Iowa, and serve their fellows. As the evening wore on, the company seemed to be waiting for someone-? The Hawkins Orchestra discoursed sweet music. The maidens, Holiday, Houghton, May, and Sells, performed the Irish lilt. Governor Van Pelt, of Oregon, came. Lottie Crawford, Emma Buvinghausen, and Ella King, makers of law in the Land of Washington, arrived. In the assembled host was Grace Munson, since Hofmann, the writer of musical notes in the Ladies' Home Journal. There were Frances Greene, the Editor-in-Chief of the "Review of Reviews," and her associate, Phoebe Read, going forth into their midst to interview the celebrities. Ruth Cartwright was there, making wondrous sketches of wondrous garments. Amidst a great shout, Arthur Sanden, the mighty with the brush, arrived. He bore a portrait of the Foreign Minister to China, whom the Captain of the Guard knew as Dr. Nash, the former ruler. Vida Reid and Josephine Blixt went about debating the passing of the Psychology of "Reaction, Adjustment and Consciousness." Ada Astel and Nina Battersby passed swiftly down the line, and among the host of friends, and departed into the far country of Hawaii; for, lo! they Page Seventy-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 79 ---------- had there sought out homesteads and their leaves of absence were but another week. But still the feast is delayed! Frank Givin began to demonstrate the value of his matrimonial bureau among those of the blue serge suits. Maglaughlin waited to take a great flashlight picture of the assembled host, when lo! the Captain of the Guard heard sweet music, and he knew his old favorite, as Gertrude Foley and Edda Quinby sang, "Hail, Normal Hail!" and lo! Secretaries Thibert and Steward entered the room, followed by Senator Utike and the First Man in the Land, President Odle. The music grew louder and less sweet, as of a bell. With an unhappy start the Senior Adviser heard the voice of the Ruler, Dr. Nash, and he spake thus: "I am sure we have all enjoyed the speaker of the morning. You may now pass to your classes!" Life is a sea of years, my dears! The little waves are the hours, Our craft is gay and stout and young, our sails are sweet sea flowers. The moon gleams bright upon the sea, as we merrily float along, We fear not, for we know Life's gales will find our lips with a song. And so we venture away from the shore, where we've played with the shallows and shells, The wind is low like a mother's voice, as we ride the balmy swells. We can't return for the winds blow far, toward a land we may not see, But we'll follow the breeze with a prayer in our hearts that we safely cross the sea. -R. O. V. Page Seventy-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 80 ---------- Page Eighty ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 81 ---------- The Juniors THE School Year is almost ended, and our sojourn here as Juniors will soon be over. An eventful and a pleasant year it has been too. As we look back over the path that we have trod, the difficulties we have encountered and overcome, we are inclined to pat ourselves on the back and say, "We have run a good race and fought a good fight." The Faculty, who have ministered daily to our intellectual appetites, will complain, we know, that this sentiment is too mild, and Seniors, Freshmen and Sophomores will stand back gaping in astonished admiration at our prodigious modesty. Modest, we are, but human; and since we are human, we do not hesitate to name a few of the things which testify to the versatility of cur genius and the unusual range of our activities. We have left no field untouched. We have done nothing by halves, but have instead put into everything undertaken an energy that has never yet bred failure. Shakespeare once said, "God has created some strange creatures in his time,- some of such a vinegar aspect that they wouldn't show their teeth in way of smile, though Nestor declare the joke to be laughable." We want to mention in passing that it is not such stuff that we are made of. We are absolutely unrivaled when it comes to the art of enjoying life. Consequently our "mixer," our party, our freak "stunts," and our "kid affairs" have a life-long berth in -many a memory. Why, we even had to laugh at the death of the Senior Spirit. It has been our cheerful outlook on life that has rescued the Seniors from the groveling slough of pessimism and has made them the jolly good fellows that they are. Our athletes have been awarded many laurels, and also have a monopoly on most of the hero-worship floating around this vicinity. In fact, we know not what defeat means except from another's definition. Our boys proved themselves invincible by taking the Senior's measure to the tune of 29 to 28. The girls of our Class exhibited their efficiency by winning a game from the Seniors, when a beautiful trophy cup hung in the balance. The majority of the Football Team was Juniors; the Basketball Team was evenly divided, but the Baseball and Track Teams are composed almost wholly of " 'Sixteen's," ::Our Athletes." Which almost says it all. We know, in many cases, it is boresome to call attention to some-thing that everybody knows. We know, too, that some things never grow old, hence what follows? The Junior Play enjoys the undisputed honor of being one of the greatest dramatic achievements aver staged in this School. The Junior "Kid Party" is heralded as the only event that ever inspired a member of our dignified Faculty to slide down a narrow "shoot-the-chutes." The Junior Class possesses more vigor, energy, ability, fair maidens, handsome young men, scientists, scholars and philosophers than any other Normal in Washington. Bellingham Normal used to apologize for eight or ten poets, but since our debut they boast of twenty-five or thirty. We have other qualities and accomplishments too numerous to mention. So as long as our Normal remains the peer of any in the Northwest, those who did most to make it so, will be remembered. "While Caesar is given what unto Cesar is due," we shall never hunger for encouragement or approbation. When others, by superior talent and super-energy surpass our Herculean feats, with one accord we shall exclaim, "What miracle has man wrought?" J. HARVEY LEACH.

Page Eighty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 86 ---------- Freshman Class Notes AS hundreds of students thronged the halls and recitation rooms of the Normal, the first part of the year, there were none more enthusiastic and full of School Spirit than were the Freshmen. We made our initial appearance with a Class demonstration in Assembly, giving our original Class Song and Class Yells. Then came the Hallowe'en party, with Miss Knowles as hostess, and Mr. Philippi as host. That alone would be enough to assure its success. After a delightful evening of games, refreshments were served and toasts were given by members of the Class. But the hands of the clock would keep moving to the time when the heartless Janitor stalks about the halls, wearing that well-known frown, bringing to a close an evening of fun and frolic. Rumblings may still be heard of the Freshman- Sophomore excursion to Mount Chuckanut on February twenty-second. Refreshments were served at the summit by the girls, while Mr. Philippi and the boys performed new and original gymnastic stunts, sensational to behold, but dangerous to the spectators. Miss Jensen and Mr. Bever showed their skill by juggling "weenies" over the flames. The Freshman-Sophomore party, held in the Domestic Science room the evening of March thirteenth, was a huge success. The roll call was answered with Irish jokes, games were played, and later ice cream was served. Miss Vulliet entertained the Class at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, March twenty-seventh. To those of us who are leaving this year, it may seem that our good old days are over, but we have formed friendships that will last forever, and our Class Spirit will be carried on through the years to come. Onward! is our watchword as we march thru Normal Halls; Forward! is our slogan, within its old gray walls; Our colors high above us, our banners to the wind, The Future lies before us, the Past we leave behind, No duty e'er shall daunt us, no coming Class excel, In the work we've done so nobly, so ably, and so well. Then Forward! is our slogan, our watchword and our song, A heritage behind us, we leave when we are gone.

All were happy and enthusiastic over the plans for their work. What was this organization, and what were these plans? If you were a new student, at the beginning of the term, you could readily guess, for were you not met at the station and escorted up to the Normal School? Did you find any flowers in your room? And did you see the girls in the halls the first day of School wearing a badge with the word "Guide" upon it? CABINET OFFICERS OF THE Y. W. C. A. McAbee, Haycox, Pierce, Day, Nordeen, Gebaroff, Vaughan, Thomasen, Sperry, Airth Chapin, Paulsen. Rohrbaugh Now you know that this was a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet members. The work of this Association started the first day and has continued throughout the entire year. First, a reception for the Faculty and students was given in September. The three hundred who were present were welcomed by Miss Nordeen, the President of the Association, Dr. and Mrs. Nash, members of the Advisory Board, and all the members of the Cabinet. The color scheme was yellow and purple. This reception afforded the opportunity of beioming acquainted, and friendships were begun which have lasted throughout the year. During September and November, every Monday evening, tea was served in the Y. W. C. A. rest-room. A group of young ladies of the student-body, were invited each Monday, until all had been served. These teas were very informal and the entertainment gave each young Page Ninety-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 95 ---------- lady an opportunity to become acquainted with the Cabinet members and others who were present. The first meeting of the year was held on Sunday, September the thirteenth, with Miss Sperry as leader. She brought an inspiring message from the Keswick Conference, which she attended in England. At our first regular Thursday meeting we were fortunate in having Dr. Norton, a medical missionary, from Korea, with us. Dr. Norton was here on a visit to his sister, Miss Norton, of our School. The following Thursday, Miss Paulson conducted a Bible Study Rally, and classes were organized in various homes where the girls board. November fifth, a recognition meeting was held. Miss Chapin, the Vice-President, presented more than a hundred new members. They were received by the President, Miss Nordeen, who gave a word of welcome. In harmony with other associations throughout the world, we observed the World's Week of Prayer. These meetings were opened on Sunday, November eighth, by Miss Sands, and continued throughout the week. On the evening of November twentieth, our annual banquet was held. Members of the Faculty, Advisory Board, and about one hundred twenty-five young ladies were delightfully entertained in the dining- room of Edens Hall. Miss EdnaoLawrence, a former Cabinet Member, was our clever toast-mistress. Miss Elizabeth Fox, Student Secretary of the Northwest, visited the Y. W. C. A., November twenty-second and twenty-third. She held conferences with the Advisory Board and Cabinet Members, and at the Thursday afternoon meeting she told us, in a very vivid and interesting manner, of the work of Miss Mathews, who is General Secretary in Japan. The Association has given seventy-five dollars toward missionary work in Tokyo, Japan, and is paying the tuition of a little native boy, who is attending a mission school in Cuba. The next event was the Seventh Annual Bible Institute, which began February fourth. Mrs. Addison Campbell opened these meetings, Miss Springer, the Y. W. C. A. Secretary in Seattle, was also with us. Friday evening, Mr. Boyns, of Seattle, gave an illustrated lecture on the authenticity of the Bible, his subject being, "The Very Stones Cry Out." The meetings continued until the seventh, and we were greatly strengthened by the inspiration brought to us through the speakers. On February twenty-eighth we were favored by a visit from Mr. McClelland, Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. He spoke in the regular Assembly Monday, on "The Call to the Foreign Field." He also spoke Friday afternoon. There were between one hundred ninety and two hundred present. There is a Student Volunteer Band in our School and a number of mission study classes. ,On Sehome Hill, Easter morning, there was a sun-rise meeting. Over one hundred were present to hear Miss Sand's inspiring Easter message. On Saturday evening, April tenth, Dr. Nash gave an illustrated lec-ture on 'he Passion Play. The proceeds of this lecture went toward helping our Association to furnish a room in the new City Y. W. C. A. building. We have been fortunate this year in having many good speakers, both from our own members, and from outside. Among them were the Page Ninety-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 96 ---------- following: Miss Fox, Dr. Nash, Miss Wynn of the City Association, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Springer of Seattle, Mrs. Billhorne, Miss Knowles, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. McAbee of Seattle. In addition to the regular work of the Y. W. C. A., there is a Cafeteria, which justifies its existance by its practical service to the School. The meals are prepared by a regular cook, and by four or five assistants, who work one period every day. The Cafeteria has furnished luncheons for three meetings of the Advisory Board, one for the Y. M. C. A., has given a banquet for the Cabinet Members of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Associations, and entertained several special speakers, making a total of about sixty-five guests. Apple Day and Hallowe'en were celebrated by an extra fine luncheon. The number served daily has run as high as one hundred twenty-five, the average for the entire year being about eighty-five. Through the service of the Cafeteria the Association has been able to meet numbers of the student body and Faculty, to render loyalty and service to co-workers, to the members of the Association, to the School, and to Christ, our beloved Master, to whom we look for approval of our labors. The Cabinet Members for 1915-16 are as follows: President - - - - - ALIENE PIERCE Vice President - - - - - - ALMA ARMSTRONG Secretary - - - - - - - - - FRANCES McCORKLE Treasurer - - - - - - - - - SADIE WELCH Committee Chairmen.

REFRAIN Skies like wild forgetmenots, at night so hung with stars; Skies like the flag, in early morn, so crossed by crimson bars; Skies like "the field of the Cloth of Gold," at noon so bright the sun; But the skies that wake the soul to song Are the skies when the day is done. I. Over the blue waves to the West, Where the Island hill top nods, After the sun nas sunk to rest In the garden of the Gods, June's own blossom in radiance grows Countless millions of them are spread- (Divinest of flowers, the bright hued rose.) Shading from trembling pink to red. Delicate masses of fragrant grace, They that were Rosemaids white and frail, Apollo but turned them his smiling face And they blushed into splendor along his trail. Earthward they turn, in their garments gay, Till, silvering all of the world's far rim, Over the mountains, creeps Twilight grey. The Sun God's sister following him. II. High from her chariot, moonbeams drift Down on the gardens of the West, Down through the sweet, sad, dusk they sift, Bidding the Rosemaids sink to rest. Over the blue isles of the sea, Over the ships with their masts so tall, Moonlight is falling tenderly- Diana's chaste fingers are over all Triumphs and splendors alike are dim Troubles and heartaches of the day, Burning and fresh in the hours just past, Gently and still-they are fading away Under the skies so thick with stars, Pale yet-in the half light from the West, Diana is healing Apollo's scars; Lulling resentful hearts to rest. REFRAIN Skies like endless seas of blue-at night, so soft and dim; Skies like clouds of fire, at morn, that rise from the crater rim; Skies like a patch of Buttercups, at noon, so bright the sun But the skies that woo the soul to rest Are the siies when the day is done. ?age Ninety-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 99 ---------- Thespian Page Ninety-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 100 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club Page One Hundred ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 101 ---------- Thespian, Dramatic Club The Thespians! The Thespians! Who are the Thespians? We are the Club of Cheers; We are the Club of tears; We are the Club who wins the heart By our work in Dramatic Art. O with good cheer and smiling faces we come again to the close of another successful year. June is nearly here, and with its comes the roses and all the first bloom of summer. But it is with a feeling of regret that we see this month approaching, for it means our separation and the end of many of our good times. Looking backward over the year's work we feel that it has been a great success, and that we have accomplished much in the line of dramatic work. The Thespian Club is not a club of a few active memberrs only, but a club of thirty interested and enthusiastic workers. The first three months were spent in the study of the "Movies," during which time roll call was answered by a quotation from some well-known moving picture actor. Several very interesting papers on the lives and works of some of our famous "Movie" actors were also read. During the remaining time we took up the study of the Modern Drama, which was entertaining as well as instructive. This was a very small part of the work done by the Thespian Club. In December, "A Christmas Carol" was given, which was a great success, and enjoyed very much by everyone. During the month of April, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, the Club presented three very interesting productions: "The Work-House Ward," by Lady Gregory; "Confessions," by A. Conan Doyle, and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by W. B. Yeats. "The Work-House Ward" was a scene in an Irish poor-house. Walter Kelly was Michael Mishell, and Harvey Leach was Mike McIntery, who suffered a great deal from rheumatism. Both were inmates of the poor-house. Vera Clayton was Honor Donohue, a sister of Michael Mishell, who mourned so much the loss of "poor John," her deceased husband. "Confessions," was a comedy in which a husband relates to his wife the experiences of his bachelor days. Of these experiences, which referred to his former feminine attachments, there seemed to be more than forty. The wife thereupon related her experiences in a similar way, the effect of which produced a startling effect upon her husband. Think of being left alone in a room with a young man, seated upon his knee, and returning a kiss. The husband's anxiety was relieved, however, when she explained that this experience occurred when she was but a child of three. Thus it goes to show that the experiences of one may appear very innocent in his own eyes, but very different when viewed from the standpoint of another. Helena Rouse made a very charming little wife, and Wallace Sutherland a handsome and devoted husband. Each portrayed much talent for such work, and the characters were cleverly represented. The heavy play of the evening "The Land of Heart's Desire," which One Hundred One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 102 ---------- is founded upon folk tales common among the peasantry, that tell of young brides being stolen away by fairies on May Eve. Marie, Shawn's young wife, can find no content in the dull round of domestic duties, nor in the doting love of her young husband. Living in dreamland, discontented, she calls upon the fairies. The call is answered; the fairies come, and then begins the struggle between the Priest and the Fairy Child for the spirit of Marie. At last the child departs, taking Marie's spirit with her to Fairyland. The play was well acted and those participating showed splendid ability in dramatic interpretation.

The Thespian Club is especially indebted to Mrs. R. W. Smith, the Faculty Adviser, for her splendid leadership and deep interest in the success of the Club, and wishes through the medium of THE KLIPSUN to extend td her our hearty and sincere thanks. The social functions of the year was the pleasant evening spent with Mrs. Smith at her home and the Valentine Party given at the Club Rooms. Several picnics and beach parties are being planned for the few weeks remaining of the School Year. So the year draws to its close, and the Thespians must go their several ways; but they will carry with them the memory of pleasant associations, and a profitable year's work; also the consciousness of added strength for the work of the future, and a readiness to enter the doors of opportunity which may open to them. Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? We're a jolly bunch all right; We keep things humming day and night; That is why we keep a-saying We put THE in Thespian. T-h-e-s-p-i-a-n till our throats are dry, We still keep singing in the same old way. We are not the Irish kings, But we are just the very things For we are, we are, we are Thespians! You may be right, but are you sure everybody else is wrong? How do you suppose a loafer feels when there is a holiday. One Hundred Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 103 ---------- One Hundred Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 104 ---------- MEMBERS OF THE PHILOMATHEAN CLUB One Hundred Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 105 ---------- The Philomathean Club WHEN School opened in September, twenty-seven Philos hailed each other in the halls-twenty-seven out of the forty who had said good-bye in June. Philo-like, they got together immediately, and told all the things they had been doing while away in the summer, and all the things they hoped to do now that they were totogether with the winter before them. That was the first meeting bulletined as "Vacation Experiences." They wanted leaders for the work. days and the play-days which they planned, so they elected J. H. Jones President, Anne Brown Vice-President, Mosie Odle Secretary- Treasurer, Lew Greene Sergeant, and G. F. D. Vander Mei attorney. Everybody worked together, as usual, and things moved. In October the twenty-seven became forty, more than which are never in the Club at one time. That was after the initiation. It is through the initiation that ordinary people become Philos; therefore you must know that it is an initiation, for Philos are never ordinary. On November twenty-first, the Philos were the guests of Miss Jensen and Mr. and Mrs. Philippi, their parents and aunt. The occasion was the fifth birthday of the Club. Some of the Alumni, who had worked for the Club when it was a younger and less sturdy infant, came in to help celebrate. There were fair women and brave men, and toasts, and flowers, and all the things that go to make a party just right. The Philo Club has never been an athletic organization. That is not its purpose, but this year, when publicly challenged before all the School to play basketball, the Philo boys responded by defeating the challenging Thespians, while the Philo girls overwhelmed the Thespian girls and Alkisiahs by tremendous scores. Let it be said again, the Philomatheans do not consider themselves athletes, they do not even aspire to be such; but they are exceedingly versatile, so future challengers, Beware! About this time news came that the Belgians were in desperate condition as a result of war. The Philos, although closely attached to each other, are not selfish, and the report touched them. They answered the call with a public program, to which they charged ten cents admission, and the students turned out in such numbers that it was possible to advance forty-three dollars to those who are in need. The Officers for the Second Semester have been Mr. Shimmin, President; Helen Brown, Vice-President; Miss Houghton, Secretary- Treasurer; Mr. Greene, Sergeant-at-Arms; Mr. Nevins, Attorney. They have served faithfully and well. The Valentine Party was February twelfth. Although the Club enjoys many minor social affairs during the year, this was the second elaborate function. It was elaborate, body-and-soul satisfying. Hearts ruled, and Philos were willing subjects. The first picnic of the year was on Washington's Birthday, when the Philos hiked to the top of Mount Chuckanut. The day dawned cold and forbidding, but found only determination in Philo hearts, so One Hundred Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 106 ---------- abandoned its dread purpose and smiled benignly. The day was a rare one, well spent and not to be forgotten. The year is not ended as this goes to press. More projects will come to light and be carried happily through. Picnics and parties are ahead. But that is not all. Picnics and parties are merely the frosting that covers the more substantial stuff beneath. Every second Thursday, all through the year, the Philos have met for purposes of mutual education and entertainment. The programs have been worthy and without exception have left a message. They will continue to do so to the end of the year. After it is all combined and summarized, all the year's activity, the questions may fittingly be asked: What is the meaning of all this? What comes of it? Is it worth while? It means that throughout the year forty people have come together and given the best that they have to each other. Through this it means the enrichment of forty lives-the best accumulated thought and experience of each one of forty transmitted to every other one. It has meant happy hours, congenial fellowship, healthful work, and healthful play in company with kindred spirits. It has meant that forty people have felt the influence of one whose very existence spells service, one who must be known to be appreciated, Miss Jensen, the Club Supervisor and fountain-head of its life. What comes of it? Lasting friendship. Memories that will not be dulled while consciousness remains. An endless chain of people going out, bearing like ideals and purposes. Few of the twenty-seven who came to the Club this year from last year will be among the forty next year. The new members this year, those above the twenty-seven, will be the old members next year. And so in the following years. But there is no complete break. The one purpose is being advanced from personality to personality through it all. Is it worth while? Time alone can answer. But if present standards possess any ultimate value, the answer will be, Yes! "May this life bring you all the happiness you can stand, and only enough sorrow to show you the difference." One Hundred Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 107 ---------- ALKISIAH One Hundred Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 108 ---------- ALKISIAH CLUB One Hundred Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 109 ---------- Alkisiah Emblem THE year 1914-15 marks the most successful year in the history of our Club, it being the oldest Club in the Normal School. This organization began its year's work with but a few old members, as a large majority of Alkisiahs are holding positions of importance throughout the State. A public meeting was held shortly after the opening of the School year. New members were admitted and the officers were elected for the first semester. Joyce Day held the executive position, and Elizabeth Eggers, now an Alumni, acted as Vice- President, with Margaret Adams as hostess. Committees were appointed and these went to work with a will, and planned the work. The first function was a lawn party, where all became acquainted. We incidentally planted the bulbs for the Narcissus Sale at the same time. Next came the initiation, which was only approached by the one of the second Semester as to originality and devices. Miss Baker's home, too, with its alluring fire-place, seemed to have a charm of which the girls were never tired, especially with the pleasing hostesses there, ever-ready to welcome us. The Narcissus Sale was a financial success. A chafing-dish luncheon, the last social function of the first Semester, was cleverly planned by a committee, at the time of the election of new officers. Besides these social performances we had instructive programs every two weeks. These were based on the present-day problems, and were both musical and literary. The keen interest shown throughout by the members, demonstrated the quality of the programs. It goes to evince the capabilities of the Consuls, who had these in charge. These were the Misses Ethel Phillip, Arleen Cusick, Anna Breum, and Harriet Mendenhall for the first Semester. Gene Hicker, Maude Manley, Maretta Cook and Phoebe Reed discharged these duties the second Semester; both committees being ably assisted by our Faculty Adviser, Miss Baner. As part of her work as Secretary, Donna Pratt recorded these events. Miss Blake skilfully proceeded with the writing for the second Semester, and the Alkisiahs of the future will read of the great achievements of the Alkisiahs of 1914-15. We were also represented in The Mcssenqer every issue by our worthy Reporters, Maretta Cook and "Merry" Day, respectively. The second Semester found Miss Phillips as presiding officer, while Clara Fagstad ably assisted her. In appreciation of her artistic ability Miss Lola Moy was re-elected as Chairman of the Poster Committee. Miss Arleen Cusick took the place of Margaret Adams, as hostess. Committees were then duly appointed to prepare for our annual banquet; a custom which was established by our Club. This banquet One Hundred Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 110 ---------- is given by the Under-Classmen, and Alumni, with the Alkisiah Seniors and Faculty members as the "guests of honor." It was held March twentieth, at six-thirty P. M. At that hour all had assembled in the Club-room, from whence each Under-Classman escorted a guest of honor down to the dining-room. Our honored Principal, Dr. Nash, and President, Miss Ethel Phillips, led the procession. The entertainment between the courses showed further the ability of the Club, and the after-dinner speeches made a profound impression, showing the prevailing spirit among its members. Still another committee had been at work, and after our splendid repast, we enjoyed a social hour, which will long be remembered. Other events of the season were: The Valentine Party, the trip to Lummi Island, to Miss Baker's summer home, and our picnic on Chuckanut Mountain. Then last, but by no means least, was the presentation of "The Bird Sanctuary," a play of the highest type and very modern. The success of this new and novel play was due to the faithfulness of those taking part, and the loyal support of the Club Members. Thus we end this year, as it was begun, with a spirit of loyalty and harmony.

Dainty refreshments were served, while we listened to the vacation experiences of our members, and the new members keenly appreciated the warm welcome extended them by the old members. Little we realized the pleasure in store for us then. One of the greatest events of the year was the never-to-be-forgotten evening spent in the home of Dr. Mathes, where we were entertained with a pipeorgan recital, given by Mrs. Mathes, assisted by her daughter, Virginia. Then came the initiation! Oh, but it was startling, mysterious and funny! We were again initiated into the spirit of the H. L. S., when Miss Hays entertained us at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ludwig. Fol- One Hundred Thirteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 114 ---------- lowing a time-honored custom of the Club, we sang the old songs in the uncertain light of the fireplace. So much happened and so little room in which to tell it. Our meetings held on every other Thursday evening were very instructive and intensely interesting. Some of the subjects discussed this year were: "The Famous Actors and Plays Coming to Bellingham," "Ella Higginson," "American Music," "Conditions in Europe," "Peace," "Birds," and "Social Work in America." The Christmas Party in the Faculty Room, had the real Yule-tide spirit. We all received a gift from the beautiful tree and enjoyed our candy, nuts and pop-corn, while we sang the old carols before the open fire. The banquet given in the dining-room of the Domestic Science Department, was a splendid success. The color scheme was beautifully worked out in violet and cream, the Club Colors. Dr. and Mrs. Nash and the three Mid-Years, Misses Lewis, Ziese and Eaves, were our guests of honor. A number of the Alumni members were present also. Then came the charming Valentine Party given the Club by an Alumni member, Miss Lillian Grue. The pleasure freshest in our memory is the delightful evening spent with Miss Mead, near St. Patrick's Day. There are good programs yet to come, closing with our annual banquet. We deeply appreciate the educational and social advantages afforded us by this year's work, and most of all, the fellowship of our Faculty members, Misses Hays, Norton, Mead, Baxter, Sands, and Nickerson, and Mrs. Termaat; and our thirty loyal, kind-hearted girls. JUNE MATHENY, Reporter. One Hundred Fourteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 115 ---------- Chelan County Club SFTER School had started last fall, and the numerous mixers had begun, at which each one came labeled with her name and address, to make herself known, each girl from Chelan County discovered, to her surprise, that there were others from the land of the Big Red Apples. Immediately the idea of a Chelan County Club was thought of, and the first meeting was held with Edith Brisky and Vida Reid, at Tarte Hall. As there were only eight of us, we deter-mined from the start that quality, not quantity, should count with us, and it has. Unanimously we chose Miss Montgomery as our Club Adviser, and now, at the end of the year, we feel more than ever that our choice could not have been a better one, for our memories of the good times spent with her are the pleasantest. At the end of the first Semester, Miss Calla Van Cleave, who was a Mid-Year graduate, left us to fill a vacancy in the Cosmopolis school. We have kept in close touch with her, through "round robin" letters, which we have enjoyed receiving and answering. During the winter we have met once a month at the homes of the different members, but before the year is over, we expect to have enjoyed picnic trips to Toad Lake, Lummi Island, and other such places. The members of the Club are Ethel Milner, Florence Redford, Frances McCorkle, Edith Brisky, Anabel Rice, Myrtle Hayden, Calla Van Cleave, Miss Montgomery, Vida Reid. In June, when we all scatter to our homes, we know that our memories of the Chelan County Club will be among the pleasantest of our School year. Delphian Literary Society The Society known as Delphian was rather quiet during the first weeks of the School year. Did you think that it was therefore worn out, discouraged, or dead? Far fram it. That this inactivity was but a resting spell, a hibernation, from which it has issued refreshed and invigorated, later history has proven. Even the omission of celebrating its third anniversary with suitable pomp and ceremony, did not mean that society enthusiasm had died out, nor so much as smouldered. The efficient management of the President, who holds such firm, yet graceful, sway over all gatherings, the zeal and skill of the Vice-President, Grand Maker of Programs, with her assistant committee, and the serviceable good-will of the Secretary, have made the meetings since Christmas worth while. Even leaders, however, could have done little were it not for the cheerful aid of the other officers and of many of the girls who have shown themselves so reliable in their work, so willing in their spirit. All this has made our business meetings more successful than ever before. We have had to part with several of our valued members, to let them join organizations in the Normal proper, and we miss them sorely. Yet we hope that their successors may prove as progressive, as talented, as they. Next year we hope to exceed this year's attainments, making the name "Delphian" to stand not only for a means of bringing out our talents, but for very happy memories. One Hundred 'ifteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 116 ---------- SOCIAL-DEMOCRATIC CLUB One Hundred Sixteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 117 ---------- Social-Democratic Club ALTHOUGH the Social-Democratic Club was late in getting organized last fall, it has not been the least of the School organizations. Our first meeting was held November fourteenth, in Mrs. Thatcher's room. There were seven charter members present. Since then, our roll has grown to twenty-seven members. The aim and purpose of the Social-Democratic Club is to study and promote an interest in Socialism and Social Problems. During our numerous meetings of the year, we have had many alive, interesting questions of the day discussed. The open forum at the close of each meeting has proved instructing and interesting. The following is a calendar of the talks we have had during the year: December 22, Reading, "The Weavers," Mrs. Smith; "War," Claude Manley; "A $2,000 Wage," Albert Utike. February 4. "How a Great American Fortune Was Made." Mrs. Termaat; "Dreams and Builders," Ben Tidball. February 18, "Charlotte Perkins Gilman," Miss Baker; "Personal Observations of Child Labor," Mr. Mair; "Why American Mothers Fail," Mrs. Bleam. March 4, "Parasites," Miss Norton; "What Ford Wages Have Done," Vida Reid. March 18, "Community Center Work," Miss Montgomery; "A New School for the Workers," Claude Manley; Reading, "Her Letter," Inez Herre. April 8, "Social Responsibility," Dr. Ruge. April 15, "The Associated Press," Mr. Hungerford; "Initiative and Referendum in Oregon," Mr. Van Pelt. To the Misses June Matheny, Grace Munson, Olive Bowman, and Drake, we are grateful for the musical numbers on our programs. Sometime in May the Club will have a picnic at the Eldridge Avenue Beach. We are all looking forward to a fine time. As the Club closes this successful year, we leave our best wishes for the success of next year's organization, and express our appreciation of the support of the various members of the Faculty throughout this year.

The financial, social and athletic activities of the students were handled in a manner that reflects nothing but credit upon the retired Board of Control. Ex-President Greene was tireless in the service of the students, patiently and perseveringly fostering School Spirt, giving unselfishly of his time and energy for the advancement of the Association. His efforts were ably seconded by the remainder of the Board. The students were most fortunate in the Faculty members, one of whom they have re-elected; the other member to be chosen by the Faculty. Their judgment and business insight have been indispensable. Following are the duties and prerogatives of the Students' Association at the present time. These are but brief: The maintenance of a book-store in the building for the convenience of the students; publishing The Messenger monthly; the direction of athletics, and the promotion of the social side of student life. Under the passed regime, the book-store has reached the highest state of efficiency yet attained. This was due to the business ability of Page One Hundred Twenty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 122 ---------- A. Hall Smith, Manager of the store. His methods were responsible for an increase in the volume of business. There was always courteous treatment accorded the patrons, which added an advance over previous years. The Messenger was attractively written, cleverly illustrated, and artistically printed. The credit for this should be given rather to the Editors, Staff, and Business Manager, than the student body as a whole. Miss Frances Green had charge of the paper the entire year, and proved a most worthy editor. To Mr. C. C. Baughman, Business Manager, should be given great commendation, for The Messenger has never before reached such a high state of efficiency. This was due to the energies and capabilities of Mr. Baughman. The athletic ventures, during the year, were the most successful ever known in the Normal School. The Football team played a full season, and the Basketball and Baseball teams were to be congratulated on their very superior work. Financially, Basketball, Baseball and Track were self-supporting, and Football was nearer on a paying basis than ever before in the history of the School. The Students' Association welcomed the students at the beginning of the School Year with a Mixer; sent them home for the Holidays with memories of a Christmas party and tree, in their minds; then a Marathon to Chuckanut in the spring. At Mid-Year Mr. G. F. D. Vander Mei and Miss Calla Van Cleave finisihed their School work, and therefore retired from the offices of Secretary and Vice-President. Mrs. Vaughn and Miss Ruth Conner were chosen and proved very efficient successors.

The chorus of eighty-five voices was assisted by soloists from the City of Bellingham, and accompanied by Mrs. W. Bridge Jones, at the piano; and by a picked orchestra of twenty pieces under the direction of Mine. Davenport-Engberg, widely known for her organization and leadership of the Symphony Orchestra, of this City. For months the chorus had been rehearsing weekly, and when the test came, was not found wanting in volume, attack, shading, dramatic quality, or any other technicality of ensemble work. Three choruses, "Bael, We Cry to Thee," "He Leaveth the Thirsty Land," and "Be Not Afraid," were especially well done. Of the solos, the heaviest part, that of Elijah, was very ably executed by Mr. C. B. Harter, baritone, who portrayed the deep feeling of pathos and triumph with much expression. Mr. Harrison Raymond took the tenor solos, singing two heavy arias with fervor and keen appreciation. Miss Irene Hurd's rich contralto was at its best in the aria, "O, Rest in the Lord," and in the trio, "Lift Thine Eyes," sung without accompaniment by Miss Hurd, Mrs. Nash, and Mrs. Deerwester. The soprano solos were taken by Mrs. G. W. Nash and Mrs. Frank Deerwester, of our own Faculty circle. The latter ably met the expectation of the audience that her participation in former musical events warranted. The duet, "Help Me, Man of God," sung with Mr. Harter, was particularly well rendered. While this was Mrs. Nash's first appearance with the Normal Chorus, the ease, grace, and power with which she sang, "Hear Ye, Israel," one of the heaviest arias ever written, has already given her an enviable reputation. Altogether the occasion was one worthy of long remembrances, and of the hearty congratulations that have come to the Director for the excellent rendition of the best and most difficult thing of the kind ever given in Bellingham. Much praise is due Mrs. Thatcher for her successful accomplishment and her great service, both to the City and the School in assuming the responsibility of the undertaking, and in bringing our Institution in line in this respect with the largest and best schools of the country. And it was with great pleasure that the Chorus later acknowledged its debt to Mrs. Thatcher by presenting her a beautiful ornamented baton as a token of appreciation for her labor and service.

The history of the Club has not been as eventful as in years gone by, but each event has been of importance and the members have all thoroughly enjoyed the Club throughout the year. The first meeting was held on the twenty-fourth of September. October first was the first business meeting and the following officers were elected: Mr. Lewis Gloman, President; Mr. M. F. Odle, Secretary- Treasurer. At the same meeting it was decided that we meet every Thursday evening at six-thirty o'clock. This plan has been rigidly followed. November twelfth we were invited to the home of Mr. Lewis Gloman, and there spent a most enjoyable evening. November nineteenth was spent at the home of Mrs. Thatcher, our most capable Director, where we were most royally entertained. We also became acquainted with the brand-new grand-son of our Director, and at once voted him into the Club as an active member. His father says that he is a credit to the Club, as he bursts out in song every once in a while. Friday, December eighteenth, the Club made its first public appearance, when we rendered two selections from the Emerson Collection. January thirtieth, the second business meeting and election of officers was held. The officers who had so capably filled the offices the first Semester, were unanimously elected to serve another term. March second was the date of our second appearance, when we sang at the regular Tuesday afternoon musicale. This is the history of the Club, as we go to press, but history is still in the making.

During the first Semester there were more members enrolled than ever before. The Club has preserved all the old traditions by doing its duty in supplying music for an occasional Assembly, or evening entertainment, and for Commencement, and gave its Annual Recital this year in May. Besides this, the Club has started two customs which it hopes to have continued in the future years. The one is the weekly program, by two or three members of the Club. This has proved a great success, for besides the many delightful musical numbers which have been rendered, there have been many instructive and interesting papers read. The second custom is the adding of some little touch to the Music Room, which will give it a more Club-like appearance. This year the Club has placed a burlap covering over part of the blackboard, and the pictures of musicians, which have been placed on it, add greatly to the attractiveness of the room. Nor has the Club been too busy working to spend some of its time socially. The afternoon spent at Mrs. Thatcher's will always remain one of the most pleasant memories of this year. Mrs. Thatcher has also shown splendid taste in the slection of music this year, and the afternoons spent in learning it have been an inspiration to every member of the Club. The Normal Ladies' Quartet THE Quartet, composed of Eva McAbee, Naomi Platt, Ethyl Martin, K and Alma Armstrong, has been one of the busiest organizations this year. Besides appearing at the Normal on different occasions, they have been called upon frequently to sing for entertainments given in the City. Among the first of these was the reception given to Dr. Nash, by the Faculty and the people of Bellingham. Later on they sang at the Y. M. C. A. several times, once giving an entire program for the Lecture Course there. The pleasantest time of the year, however, was when, with Mrs. Thatcher, their Director, and Helen Foster as accompanist, they gave a recital in the school- house at Lawrence, a small town about fourteen miles from Bellingham. Incidentally there was a candy sale afterwards, and it would be safe to say that they received their share. Nor will the Quartet forget very soon how they had to help shove the big car around the school-yard in order to persuade the engine to start for home. For it was one of those clear December nights when engines seem to have an aversion to being aroused from their evening nap. But once the engine was started, it played an accompaniment to the quartet songs all the way home. The Quartet also worked up some sacred numbers, and furnished the Easter programs for the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. afternoon services. At present, with the aid of Charlotte Hill, they are working on the quintet, "Winken, Blynken and Nod," by Ethelbert Nevin. This promises to be one of the best numbers of the year, and will be given at the Annual Recital of the Choral Club. Page One Hundred Forty-'lhree ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 144 ---------- Choral Club Concert THE Choral Club of the Normal School, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher gave the final concert of the school year at the Normal, May nineteenth. The first part of the program consisted of choruses, violin numbers by Miss Mathes, and solos by the Misses Bergstrom, Platt, Docherty and Armstrong. Miss Armstrong was accompanied by the Misses Martib on the mandolin and harp-guitar. A very pleasing number was the quintet, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," sung by the Ladies Quartet and Miss Hill, and accompanied by Miss Green and Miss Lemon. The second part of the program was the beautiful cantata, "The Garden of Flowers," by Denza, the solos being taken by Miss Hill and Miss Martin. The concert was one of the best ever given by the Choral Club, and represented careful and painstaking study. The voices were well blended in the chorus work, and the solos revealed some of the best talent of the school. There was a very large and appreciative audience, and the stage decorations were by far the most artistic that have ever been placed on the Normal platform. Page One Hundred Forty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 145 ---------- Literary Page One Hundred Forty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 146 ---------- May Sunset To-night, O God, we watched your master hand Stain all the vast, still sweep of western sky With pigments wrought in the Eternal Mind; Conceived divinely and divinely laid In broad, swift strokes upon the concave plain Environing the world. We turned and watched The ever-changing canvas of the sky, Forgetting the monotony of toil In following the thought you made for us: Fire-ships sailing on a green dream-sea, From Nowhere unto Nowhere outward bound; Bold headlands topped by lofty battlements; Enchanted cities rising from the sands, Rearing tower and spire and minaret To catch the myriad gleamings on their tips And combine them in a splendid flame!- Softening your lines, you let them go, Blending all the tints and hues and shades In opalescent lights and amber glow- Hints of pearl upon a field of mauve. The shadows lengthening upon the slopes Flowed into the valleys, forming there Pools of purple mystery; the mists Crept in, the shadows deepened; it was Night! L. A. GREENE, '15. Page One Hundred Forty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 147 ---------- Rolling Down to Rio By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER First Prize Story Yes weekly from Southampton Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio. (Roll down, roll down to Rio), And I'd like to roll to Rio, Some day before I'm old." -Rudyard Kipling. SHE was startled, for she had fancied herself all alone. She wondered who it was, huddled there by the rail, in the rainy, star-darkness of the winter night. It was twelve o'clock, and the few young people aboard,-a young missionary from the States, three school teachers, and another young woman, who, like herself, had left New York to work on the "Feature side" of a great South American daily, had gone to bed hours before. The boat would dock at Rio in the morning. Earnestine wondered, therefore, who it could be, and having the typical newspaper girl's curiosity, she walked swiftly, and noiselessly, up the deck until she stood almost behind the strange figure. In the purple light of a mingled dark and star-glow, she saw that it was a man; a big chap, humped against a great coil of cable, wet from the recent tropic rain. "Blue!" thought Ernestine. "Deep in the doldrums, poor chap! I wonder who he is? Must be somebody in the first-cabin list. I can't seem to make out--" As she slowly made her way towards him, the man thrust a hand in his pocket, and drew out something. There was a glimmer in the starlight. Ernestine sensed, more than saw, the pistol. It was in the set of his shoulders-that rigidity of the human about to deal Death to himself. Restraining the desire to rush madly at him, grab the revolver, and hurl it miles deep in the sea, the girl remained calm. "Don't do it!" she said, as quietly as if she had asked him not to smoke. The effect was startling. To the man, who had imagined himself entirely alone-this quiet order seemed to issue from supernatural realms. Like a frightened child, he put the pistol down, and waited,- not even turning his head. The stillness seemed charged with the magnetic quality of his great awe. "Make your voice businesslike," urged her intuition. "Be very ordinary and everyday about it all, or there is no telling what he will do." Page One Hundred Forty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 148 ---------- Accordingly Ernestine went quickly to the rail, picked up the little deathdealer, emptied it, and slipped it into the pocket of her raincoat. As she did this she spoke again. He was looking at her now, quietly, almost impassively-and the girl recognized him with a start. He did not speak, so she continued rapidly, albeit slightly disconcerted by the knowledge that she was addressing one of the most celebrated men in the world. "I didn't suppose you ever got rash, and wanted to do terrible things, like an ordinary mortal!" she said swiftly but very soberly-- "And I realize that this interruption would seem unpardonable under ordinary conditions, but you know-" she put a hand of fellowship on his shoulder, "I couldn't let you do it! I simply couldn't!" Something very like wistful appeal crept into the great man's eyes, reducing him to boyhood in the clear gaze of the kindly person who watched. Though Ernestine had known and talked with many of the great ones of earth in her capacity of journalist-never by hook or crook had she been able to get near this man in professional guise before. In the morning, after it was all over-she would doubtless look back upon this moment of contact with the greatest financial genius of the age, as her supreme professional achievement. But her newspaper loyalty had left her now-displaced by an emotion far greater; loyalty to humanity. This great man had lifted to her a face of appeal. He turned her, by the urgency of his need, into adviser, helper, and guardian. Into her heart swept that feeling of human brotherhood, one of the truest and rarest emotions to which the race is heir. She was his sister now; he was her brother! "It's hard luck, old chap!" she said, "But you take my advice and follow the homely old saying straight to the end! Just grin and bear it, old fellow; grin and bear it!" At that the man completely gave way. Ernestine comforted him the best she knew, and they sat side by side until the dawn arose above the ocean's eastern edge,--in perfect sympathy, the greatest money-maker of the age, and the New York newspaper girl,-while they threshed out a probable tragedy between them. Often the man grew desperate as he told the story of his stealthy undermining by business associates. A chance wireless picked up by the operator since the Kismet had left Southampton, had brought him the realization that his hard-worked-for triumph was about to topple. The man, whose greatest boast had been that he could surmount all obstacles but Death, was about to go down to defeat. Only a miracle could save him. If his son had sold certain stocks, according to orders given by cable just before he had left London, all would be swept away. "But, perhaps," suggested the girl, "Perhaps he hasn't done it?" "Oh, he has done it alright," replied the great man, a shadow of grim sorrow falling across his face. "He's no good for anything else! Obeying orders is all he ever could do decently! No mind of his own on him at all. Now, if Antoinette had been the boy, instead of Berk-if she had been the boy, all would be well!" "Somehow," continued the South American speculatively, "You reminded me of her when you called me 'Old Chap,' there, and put your hand on my shoulder. That was the way Tony would have done. She rage One Hundred Forty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 149 ---------- was rarely respectful, and it was such a blessed relief to come home to her-after months of European deferentialism." "World deferentialism, you mean," corrected Ernestine; then suddenly, "Where is Tony?" she asked. "Tony?" questioned the man. "Why, Tony's dead!" he answered. Then, as he saw the look of manifest sorrow spring to the girl's eyes: "Don't be sorry for that!" he said sternly. "Be glad! Be glad as I am glad! that she has been spared this night and the day to follow. The sight of her father lying wrecked! Oh, my God! Absolutely wrecked! And no man's blood or brain to follow me, on all this earth- just Berk!" He bent his head on his arms in absolute agony, and for a time the girl sat nerve-racked and quiet, by his side. Then she laid her hand once more upon his arm. "If the Dead do come back to try and help those they love," she said softly, "it must be through the voices of the living. I am sure that Tony would say the things I am saying to you, if she could! I am not plain Ernestine Rand any more. I am Tony Chavez,-beautiful, dashing, every bit as lovely as before! Listen!" she said, as she shook him gently. "Listen, Old Chap, to me! I am Tony! Do you hear, I am TONY! And you spoke of being a wreck. Now, though I feel in my very bones that you will see Berk's smiling face the first thing when you dock at Rio, telling you all is well, still I cannot resist this chance to philosophize out loud." The girl smiled at him and with one hand made sure that the pistol still reposed safely in his pocket of her raincoat. "There was a wreck! Only we never call it that! It was far too splendid a testament to modern Knight and Ladyhood to be called a mere wreck. "I was working on a paper in New York that spring-and I can never forget it! It was so awful; but it was so splendid too! It made us almost wish that we too had had a chance to go down aboard it! And when the story of the brave fellows in the band-who played on and on into the starlit night until the water came up over them,--" the girl paused choking. "Oh, weren't they the brave knights, though!" she exclaimed- "Weren't they every bit as fine and true and wonderful as the ones who rode with the crusaders, centuries ago? I think so," she continued, battling against the rising tide of her own emotions, as she saw her efforts to arouse the great man becoming successful. "I think so!" she repeated, her blue eyes bright with tears, "And Old Chap, that's how I want you to go down, if go down it has to be, with colors flying and the band playing! The way you've lived. Don't disappoint the hero worshipers of the world! Be to them still their Greatest! Promise me that! Why, if you will, Life will always be worth living, no matter what. Promise, Old Chap!" she commanded, then waited, with perfect confidence in him shining from her soul. Suddenly the man stretched out his hand to her. "I do promise," he said. "I do promise you, Tony," came with softer intonation, and he stood up, and as a big Newfoundland shakes the water off after a plunge in the deep, he shook from himself the Page One Hundred Forty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 150 ---------- great mists of indecision that had clouded the horizon of his mind. He stood, and the girl saw how large; how well-nigh gigantic, he was, in comparison to other men. Ernestine grew suddenly afraid. She shyly took him by the hand, her mission not yet finished. "One thing more," she said. "Yes," he asked almost patiently. "Be nice to Berk, please, and give him just half a chance-just half a chance, please!" He did not reply, but looked at her across a great distance, magnanimous, kind, beneficent; the conscious world-power settling again upon his brow like a coronet. She was no longer a person to be reckoned with, to be thought much about. She was just a common little newspaper girl from New York;-and the sun was up over the edge of the world again, making a path of gold across the waves to the edge of the rail. A white sea-bird arose from the deck, cried out, and circled above their heads several minutes, its fair breast shining in the dawn, before it flew off across the waves,-straight toward the rising sun; flying low, and dipping silver wings in the gold of the ocean path as it went. "That way, Tony went," thought Ernestine, and she nodded him a formal, perfunctory farewell. When the boat docked at Rio six hours later and the white-clad journalist was being received most cordially by members of that great free lance fraternity-someone was kind enough to point out to her the "Great Chavez," as he got into his car beside his cheerfully grinning son. "The greatest financial genius of the age," murmured a fellow journalist in her ear. "And only two reporters in the world today know how near he came to ruin over night" Ernestine smiled and looked properly impressed. "I hope both of you are on 'our sheet,' " she said laughingly, asserting her new-born loyalty for "La Prensa." "Indeed yes, but it does us no good, for we can't tell. Chavez is the real owner of 'La Prensa,' you know." "No, I did not know, but I'm mighty glad; for he's a good old chap!" she added lightly, as their car moved off the dock behind the glass-enclosed limousine of the "Greatest Man of the Age." It's good to have money, and the things that money can buy; but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.- Lorimer. The Lord hates a quitter, but he doesn't hate him son, When the quitter's quitting something that he shouldn't have begun. -Blosser Brevities.

Each morn my angel guardian hangs About my neck the twelve sweet hours; At eve she takes them off and fills My hands with fragrant dreamland flowers. And gently, tenderly, she lays The tarnished links and pearls away In Memory's Casket hid in dusk So near to Dreams, so far from day. Only at night I visit there And in the shadows name my beads In joy or penitence, as I Look o'er the good and evil deeds That filled my chain and carved each link And chastened all my pearls so fair Tho sad my soul, Hope springs afresh And all my heart looks up in prayer.

Page One Hundred Fifty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 152 ---------- Flowers From Port Arthur By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Second Prize Story I have them yet, the handful of faded, little- pressed blossoms that came to me clear across the Pacific, from the battlefield of Port Arthur. There was a sad little story that came with them, of an educated Japanese girl, and her soldier lover, who with his own hands gathered the wild Japanese for-get-me-nots of mine, outside the prison yard, for Moto San. Leslie told me the story for future relation, and took such pains to obtain a handful of the blue flowers for me besides. Leslie was born in Japan, and lives in Yokohama now, and among her friends she counted little Moto San, one of the first, best, and dearest. The dainty, colorful, little lady of Japan said good-bye to her soldier before he left on board the transport with his General, for Port Arthur, and she saw him go gladly, and without tears, for the tiny Japanese women are just as gloriously brave and patriotic in time of trouble as the men. "You will come back," she said hopefully; and he replied that the first blue flowers of spring would herald him, for he thought, as did the world, that the war would be of longer duration than it proved to be. "Do not forget," she repeated slowly, and then he went away. She waited. News came of the victory of Port Arthur, of the final defeat of the Russians, and the Nation wept for joy at first, and then for sorrow, as the ships of death steamed back to Yoho, with their ghastly burdens. Moto San wept too; first for joy, and then for sorrow, as the days went by, and there came no word from Okim. She herself went to ships in search of his body, to the despair of her parents, who deplored again and again the foreign ways of Moto San, and called on their mighty ancestors to forgive them for ever educating her in barbaric America. Moto's search was vain, but hope had not yet died. She had not really expected to find Okim on the death ships, partly because she could not believe him dead; partly because she knew he was not an officer, and that even if he were dead, his body would be buried on the field, instead of being returned to Yoho. Months passed; then one day in early April, a ship flying the Russian flag, and bearing prisoners of war, came steaming into the harbor. Moto San was the first woman at the docks, in her great hope of Okim's coming; for already in the fields the blue flowers were springing, and had he not given that as a signal of his approach! But he was not there, and Moto San returned homeward with a heavy heart. She was not kept long in wondering, however, for that Page One Hundred Fifty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 153 ---------- night in the tea-garden, a package was handed her by an officer-friend, who had received it with orders to give it in secret to Moto San. The writing was that of Okim, and Moto hurried homeward to open it. She found inside the blue flowers I have told you of, also a letter from Okim, telling her that he had been condemned to die as a spy, and that, under guard, he had managed to gather the blue flowers for her, outside the prison walls. "By the time these reach you," he had written in the language of tneir adoption, "I shall be lying under the grass of the prison yard, outside the fort. Some day, perhaps, you may visit here, and plant the wild for-get-me-nots above my heart. 0, Moto San! I am not afraid to die! My loves goes with the blue flowers to you. Treasure them for the sake of our past and the future that might have been. Farewell!" And that was all. No name; nothing that could ever tell to un-friendly minds the possible origin of the lines. Okim, knowing that Moto San, being the daughter of wealthy and prominent parents, would in all likelihood be forced to marry; had carefully avoided anything that might throw difficulties in her path; for when a Japanese girl is believed to have had a lover, no other man will marry her. The precautions of Okim, though kindly, were of no avail, for Moto San died in June, with the death of the cherry blossoms, and everybody said that her soul had blown away into "The Land of Dead Flowers," and prayed that her life there would be blessed with all beauty and gladness. Leslie laid the letter in the folds of the dress in which Moto San was buried. The faded flowers she kept to remind her of the lovely little lady of another race, who had been her friend. She went to Port Arthur last summer with her father, who inspected the docks there at the time, and she wrote me later, she left over the body of Okim, in the prison yard, a tiny plant of the wild forget-me-not, such as he had wished to have blossoming forever above the heart that loved Moto San so well. Have you ever stopped to consider whether you were the original noise, or only the echo? Our Faculty have many faults, Our students have but two: "Everything they say, And everything they do." Page One Hundred Fifty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 154 ---------- Fairy Paths The world has changed so much since first I came To dwell within its bounds, so still and wide. Things used to be so wonderful and great- With Fairy Paths across the countryside. Along the river bank, all floored with sand, Enclosed by rose trees, wild, and emerald-leaved, And hidden quite from scoffing, grown-up eyes I walked along, believing and believed By all my little band of neighbor folk. I pointed out to them each lurking elf. I flew from made-up terrors with swift feet, And thus deceiving, oft deceived myself. I found for them the haunts of witch and dwarf, I took them to the Giant's lonely tree; I was the queen of all my youthful train, And blest were they who chose to follow me. Away from "Common Folk" each morn we sped And walked the rivers edge with singing feet, Or rafted lightly on its current swift; Then Life was Sunshine's self, and Danger sweet! And oft we tired of Pirating about And sought instead the yellow mountain's steep, And climbed the cliffs of hay unto the top And nestled down within our dungeons deep. And heard the raindrops falter in their flight Upon the tin-roofed space above our keep; And one by one the weary pirates would Roll drowsy heads and softly sink to sleep. And dreams? Our dreams seemed all of Fairy folk, The ones we loved, e'en tho we never knew, For sure-if they were idle grown-up tales Made up for fun-or really truly true. But some how we've grown older and forgot To listen for them as we used to do. I wonder if the fairies ever look For us where first we walked, when Life was new. Ah, little Fairy Paths along the edge Of winding river, dim, befogged and green; I wonder if the rose trees have been cut And brush thrown open to disclose the scene. Of gentle mysteries. I hope not Paths! I'd rather see the thickets o'er you grow The myrtle and blackberry and the mint Hide all the footprints made so long ago. RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Page One Hundred Fifty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 155 ---------- A Midnight Call and What Came of It By GERALD E. SONNER. Third Prize Story THE sharp jingle of the telephone bell is rather startling in the dead of night, when there is no other sound. William Carew came out of his doze with a start. His hand shook as he took down the receiver. "Hello!" "Hello! Is this Mr. Carew?" "Yes, who is this?" "Not so fast, please. My business with you is strictly private. Are you alone in the room? " (Coming to him as it did, the question seemed a bit uncanny.) "I am," he answered, glancing around a little apprehensively, as though he did not feel quite sure about it. "Well, this is from your business office. Understand?" "I do not understand. My office closed at six o'clock; I locked the door myself, and no one else has a key. Who are you, anyway?" "Ah! Softly, please! Don't be inquisitive." "Then what do you want?" "Now, you are talking! First, though, let me tell you something. You know that powder you have stored in the basement, ready for the hunting season?" "Well, what of it?" "Make quite an explosion, wouldn't it?" "It would wreck the whole building." "Yes? Well, just at this moment one end of a good, quick fuse rests in that powder, and the other is on your desk, within three feet of my hand. Do you follow? Hello! Hold on, now. Don't get excited or act hastily. A fuse doesn't hurt as long as it isn't lighted. Just wanted you to see what might happen if things didn't please the people in control here; that is all. Stop, now! Never mind about Central. I want to talk to you. We have a little work to do here that requires the opening of your safe-" "Hello! Are you there? All right!" "Well, we seem not to have gotten the combination, and prefer calling in the engineer to blowing up the boiler. I am sorry to disturb you, but we have tried to be as considerate at we could. You will find a cab at your side-door. By smart driving you can reach here in between six and seven minutes from the time you leave the phone; but mind you, now, that will not give you any time for side trips or nonsense. If you Page One Hundred Fifty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 156 ---------- are with us in exactl'y seven minutes from the time you leave the phone, well and good; if not-Hello! are you listening?" William Carew promptly answered that he was, though he did not ieel certain whether he was hearing with his ears or his imagination. The situation was a new one to him, and in order to gain time for thinking iL over, he tried to talk to his strange interviewer with one side of his head and think with the other. The warning was prompt." "Be quick! Tell me at once are you coming? Because if you are not, the fuse is off." "All right, I'll come!" he shouted, and hung up the receiver. What could he do? To arouse his household and make the necessary explanations would consume at least five of those seven precious minutes. Should he try the police? They were quite as unreachable in the time at his command. As the only chance, he called up Central, told the girl rapidly to send the police around to his office. No, no! not the house--the office quick as she could! Then he rushed for the cab and allowed himself to be driven away at breakneck speed. The more he thought it over the more he failed to see the funny side of the situation, if it had one-and he was not sure that it had. If all went well, he still would be at his office in the hands of his enemies, within the time specified; but what did they mean to do with him? Make him open the safe for one thing, and he thought with regret of the good, fat collections that had been turned in to him the night before, after banking hours. In spite of his worry over what was going to happen to his property, he could not help feeling a generous concern over what was likely to happen to himself. Supposing the burglars were not satisfied with their loot? Or they might suspect him of having other valuables secreted. That thought brought a ray of comfort, and he chuckled to himself as he remembered the fat roll of bills he had taken home and placed in his secretary over-night, preferring not to trust all his eggs in one basket. But, still, supposing they did not mean to take him to the office at all, but were only taking this way to abduct him and hold him in some underground dungeon for ransom? Then, too, what if the girl at Central failed to understand the situation? Central had been known to mix things up before then; and this was an unusual occurrence. He had not dared take time to let her repeat his message to him for correction. The police station was much farther from his office than his house was, so at the best, he would be in for an uncomfortable seance with his captors of quite sufficient duration, without any delays or slips. On the arrival of the officers, too, a new danger would confront him. Several burglaries had recently been committed, possibly by this same gang, and the police, smarting under the severe prodding they had received from the local papers, were about in the right humor to shoot on sight. Carew was not a large man; still, there was a great plenty of him at a time when all there was of him would be in danger. In spite of his nervousness over his impending fate, the time and Page One Hundred Fifty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 157 ---------- distance of his ride between his house and office seemed longer than it ever had before. Of course, that might be due to his over-wrought nerves. He was thinking so fast and of so many things at once that the amount of mental ground he covered evidently made the material distance seem great. Still, he half doubted whether they had come the most direct route or not, and tried to peer out of the cab to assure himself of something, he hardly knew what. While he was in the very act of doing so, the cab pulled up at his office-door so suddenly as to all but cause his debarkation in a direction wholly different from the usual course of egress. A glance around convinced Carew that the building was still un-wrecked! so it looked as if he had arrived in time. Just as he was about to enter the building it occurred to him that he had seen no guard, and he considered it possible that the fuse had been fired already and the burglars were seeking safety in flight. Under those circumstances, Carew more than ever wished to avoid any seeming dissension from their views, so he rapidly concluded to wait a little before entering, and it occurred to him that the opposite side of the street would be a better place for waiting. Neither burglar nor explosion came to reward his caution, however, and natural curiosity was fast gaining a mastery, when he was suddenly beset on all sides by a rush of policemen, who were so elated over capturing him that it was several minutes before their error could be proved to them. Then there was a simultaneous rush for the office, over which the wary chief had placed a watchful guard before their rush upon the supposed burglar sentinel. In the center of the room lay the door of the safe, where it had fallen when blown open. Scattered around were such of the contents as could not be converted into cash. The money and all negotiable valuables were missing. Evidently it had been a deliberate piece of work, where every paper was examined, and its value carefully determined. "And to think," exclaimed Carew, "that they did it all in the few minutes I was coming from my home here! I am certain they were gone before I arrived." "Nonsense!" said the Chief, passing his hand over the safe door. "This job alone was never done in seven minutes; and, besides, it must have happened half an hour or so ago, for the metal is cold." "Then what the deuce was their object in calling me up to open it for them, after it was already open?" "I am sure I don't know, unless it was just pure bravado; a sort of boasting over a sleek job. But my word for it, the safe was open and the job done when they called you up. They were off as rapidly as you were, after they once got you started. Strange, though, they went to the trouble of sending that cab for you if they hadn't some other object." Just then the telephone rang again, with a suddenness that gave them all a start. "Hello! Who is this?" answered Carew. "Is this the William Carew office?" "It is, what's wanted?" "Well, this is your residence. I just wanted to tell you that we Page One Hundred Fifty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 158 ---------- had a little business here which we believed could be done better during your absence. We wanted you to take a little trip, and felt sure you would manage some way to take the attention of the police along with you, after the tip you got. We are through here, now, and have managed not to disturb your family in the least. You can return now whenever you get ready. Thank you! Good-bye." William Carew and the officers looked at each other in astonishment for a full minute, then the Chief exclaimed: "Well, doesn't that jar you?" "It certainly does!" replied the crestfallen William Carew, as he turned out the light and walked through the door. The Things Worth While In the evening of our school year, When our sun is getting low, Are we longing for the last day And the train on which to go? Or are we thinking of the friends that We have made thruout the year? And of the heartaches we will have When we go and leave them here? Or, of the lessons we have learned Of the things akin to life; That will give us strength of character To enter the great strife? It's not the fact that we will get A roll of sheepskin that will count; But the stuff we have within us That will make us want to mount And climb to worlds we've dreamed about, Of world's as yet unknown, To the zenith of ambition And leave unturned no stone. We then will know, the things worth while Are the friends whom we have known, And those worth more than all the rest, We met on grand Sehome. A. H. S., '15. Page One Hundred Fifty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 159 ---------- The Opinion of Father Time I sat dreaming by my window, half asleep and half awake Harking to the merry music that a far-off band did make- Just the old Salvation Army, that march the streets at dark, But their music set me thinking, of dead people, grim and stark; Dear dead people, lying coldly in the earth, beneath the grass- While the living, gayly, boldly, o'er their sunken slumbers pass. And I wondered then, how many of the ones so still and meek, Had in life known true happiness, and all that Humans seek. "Were there many happy people, in the days that are no more?" Thus I questioned of a Spectre, who just then came thru my door. Oh, his hair was long and frosty-white with years, and years, and years, And the wrinkles had been furrowed in his face by human tears. In his hand he bore a sickle, and I knew him then for Time- He, the Father of the Ages (and the subject of my rhyme), For he showed me all the people, that had gone away from here, From the Bellingham State Normal, down until this very year, And among them saw I, women, who were leading useful lives, Some as teachers, some as writers, some as true and helpful wives. And the men (Ah! few in number), they were making money fast, Peaceful, sober, uninspiring, from the first, down to the last. Doing good, 'tis true, wherever each and every one had time, (Keeping coin in circulation, spending now and then a dime). "Question thou about the Living; leave the Sleeping Dead alone! Soon enough you'll all be lying in the earth beneath a stone, And the final page be written, and the Book be closed and locked, Thus the Dead are now; why bother?" Father Time serenely mocked. Then his eyes grew clear and shining and he pointed down the street, (Just a little lane of shadows, but it clanged with human feet), And I saw Two Hundred Pilgrims, festive clad, come side by side, Marching grandly down the vista, faces, bearings, those of Pride, In their hands they held diplomas, 'oer their heads burned halo's bright, On their brows blazed Fame and Fortune and the Power to do the Right. "Happiness?" quoth my companion, "These shall find it-never far! This is how- " "Oh, tell it loudly," quoth I quickly, "Let them hear." "In their hearts, they know," he answered, "that we get back what we give; This they must remember ever, it will teach them how to live! "See," he said, I saw a vision of the years that soon will be; Saw the girls and men of '15, older grown, they seemed to me; But glad-hearted, walking freely, thru the spaces of the Land In their wake were Peace and Plenty, flowers grew on either hand, Flowers of Thought, and Flowers of Virtue, flowers of Friendship, thrived and grew, And about these flowery places, many, many bluebirds flew; And Time touched me on the shoulder, "Tell me this before I go! "Do you recognize these people? Are there any whom you know?" "KNOW!" I shouted, half indignant; then replied, with haughty mein, "THESE are CLASSMATES, Aged Father,-B. S. N. S., our '15." And he laughed and motioned lightly toward the school upon the hill: "There have never been such people, in the past, nor ever will- As this CLASS OF 1915, that you saw a moment since, And this fact I don't mind telling, over truths I seldom mince, They're the greatest that I know of-either now alive or dead." "Thank you, Father Time," I answered, "I shall tell them all you've said.' Then he vanished thru my window, with his shadows and his murk, And I took my bookstore notebook, and to this end, started work. R. O. V., '15.

REID Foot Ball WITH not a veteran back and with a new man at the helm, the Nineteen-Fourteen Football season looked none too bright for the Blue and White. Coach Samuel E. Carver, a member of the Nineteen-Twelve Football team, had charge of the squad for the first time. When the call for candidates was made, only a few men responded who had actual experience, but nevertheless, the men worked hard, and Coach Carver develcped a team that didl credit to the School, although a great percentage of the games were lost. The progress that different members of the team made was especially pleasing to the supporters. The members of the squad, numbering between fifteen and Page One Hundred Sixty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 168 ---------- twenty, labored under adverse conditions all season, for the new grid-iron, back of the School, was a morass of mud and water, from the first to the last turnout. "Big Ben" Tidball, the two-hundred-pounder of Bellingham High School fame, was elected Captain just before the first game of the season, and he proved a capable leader. Ben played center rush. Flanking the "Human Stone Wall" on either side (as Captain Tidball was known in his High School days), were "Swede" Shold and Walter Kelly, both playing their first year of football. Shold was one of the "strong men" of the team, while Kelly, although light, was one of the most aggressive warriors that Coach Sam had. The tackles were well taken care of by Neiswender, Platz, and Bolman, all of the six-foot variety. At the extremes of the line were found three men of marked ability: Bill Evans, Beck, and Breakey. Beck and Breakey played their first year of football, while Evans is a former Bellingham High School star. Victor Aitken, a product of Ferndale High School, directed the team from the quarterback position, and played a heady game. Probably the biggest surprise of the season was the playing of "Bulldog" Wold, at fullback. With very little previous experience, Wold proved to be one of the stars of the team. As a smashing fullback, his equal cannot be found in these parts. Ed. Haracich, from the local High School; Larson, from Tacoma; and Croy, a local boy, alternated at right and left half, and each man played a fast, hard game. Capable substitutes were found in F. Hermann, Smith and Meek. A winning team is predicted for next year, as Haracich, Kelly, Platz, Wold, Beck, Breakey, Smith, and Shold will be back. The team's record is as follows: FERNDALE, 6-NORMAL, 0. The first game of the season was played on Saturday, October third, during the fair week at Lynden. Ferndale won, because of the inexperience of the Normal boys. More than half of the team were playing their first game of football. Captain Tidball was injured, which kept him out of the game for several weeks. MT. VERNON A. C., 42-NORMAL, 0. The team ran into a snag when they met the Mt. Vernon Athletic Club on October tenth, at Mt. Vernon. The Club team was made up of former College and High School stars, and their playing was too much for the local boys. FERNDALE, 0- NORMAL, 2. The first win of the season was on October tenth, at the Normal athletic field, when, after fifty-nine minutes of fighting, the local team scored a safety on the High School boyfs from Ferndale, and so won the game. It was a royal battle, and ekery Blue and White player deserves credit for putting up a great brand of ball. MT. VERNON A. C., 0-NORMAL, 0. The game that was virtually a victory was when Mt. Vernon invaded Bellingham with a stronger team than the one that beat the local team 42 to 0, and were unable to score on the Normal warriors. The local team displayed the best form of the year, and when their goal was Page One Hundred Sixty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 169 ---------- in danger they put up a stone-wall defense. The Club boys were helpless when they tried to score, but on the other hand, their heavy line could not be penetrated by the locals for substantial gains. ANACORTES, 13-NORMAL, 7. Coach Carver had to put a crippled team in the field against Anacortes High School, when the teams met in Bellingham, November seventh. Anacortes was represented by one of the best High School teams in this part of the State, and they put up a great battle. Both the visitors' touch-downs came in the first quarter, but after that they were unable to get in scoring distance of the Normal's goal. FERNDALE, 0-NORMAL, 6. Once more the Blue and White demonstrated their ability to defeat the warriors of Ferndale. The game was played November fourteenth, at Ferndale. The Normal boys showed a marked improvement in their team work. The successful use of the forward pass was greatly responsible in bringing in victory to Bellingham. A number of gains from ten to forty yards were made this way. BELLINGHAM H. S., 6-NORMAL, 0. Alas! The biggest game of the season was lost to B. H. S. in a stubbornly fought contest, November twenty-first. After being outplayed all through the game, and with only four and a half minutes till the final whistle, the High School team slipped over a touchdown on the Normal, and victory was theirs. Nothing more needs to be said, but just wait until next year. In the opinion of a good many football fans the best team lost. ANACORTES, 20--NORMAL, 7. The Thanksgiving battle was played in Anacortes, with the High School team of that town, but it ended disastrously for the Normal. The skillful playing of the backs, coupled with the Fidalgo mud, spelled defeat for the locals. One of the disastrous features of the game was the injury to Evans' knee, as it kept him out of the entire basketball season. Page One Hundred Sixty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 170 ---------- Aitken; Schwartz; Kelly Croy; Gwinn; Coach Carver; Odle; Rockey Page One Hundred Seventy ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 171 ---------- Basket Ball HE Nineteen-Fourteen--Nineteen-Fifteen Basketball season was one of the most successful seasons that a Normal five has enjoyed for several years. Although probably not a clear claim to the title of the Non-Conference Championship could be made, at least the local team holds it in conjunction with the College of Puget Sound, as each team defeated the other one, and the tie was not played off. Of the heavy schedule of fourteen games played, ten were won. Only one school team had the honor of defeating Coach Carver's pets; that being the University of Puget Sound. The disappointing feature of the season was the fact that the annual East-of-the Mountains' trip had to be called off at the last minute, because Ellensburg Normal broke her contract. As this has become a habit with our Sister Normal, it looks as if she were afraid to meet our strong teams. The first of the season looked none too promising for a winning team as only one Letter-man reported, and the material did not look exceptionally strong, but after several weeks of practice, things looked different. Coach Carver developed a fighting team, but a team that fought in the right spirit and played square. The team was light, but what they lacked in weight they made up in speed. The personnel of the team is as follows: Captain Swartz, Rockey and Gwin, forwards; Odle, center; Kelley, Aitken, Croy and Anstett, guards. Lytton, Swartz, and Paul Rockey were the regular forwards, and each man played the game every minute. Frank Gwin, from Ellensburg, made a handy substitute. Mosie Odle, the married man of the team, who held the pivotal position several years ago, was better than ever this year, and very few men were able to get the jump on him. Walter Kelley and Victor Aitken were the regulars. Both are old star High School men, and both shone in every game of the season. Donald Croy and Leonard Anstett were not far behind the regular guards and each one was ready to step in at any moment. Anstett was not able to play the required number of halves to possess a letter, as he was late in entering school, but he is looked upon to star next year. The Team's Record Blaine H.

The team's excellent success is due in a great measure to the coaching of Sam Carver, who is one of the best players Bellingham ever developed. A team equal, if not better than the one of this year is looked for next season for Rockey, Kelley and Anstett will be back and practically every member of the second team. Page One Hundred Seventy-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 172 ---------- THE NORMAL BASEBALL TEAM Mohrman, Griffin, Carver, Haracich, Larson, Platz Evans, R. Smith, Reed, Swartz, Rairdon, Beck Page One Hundred Seventy-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 173 ---------- Base Ball NO sooner was the last baskethall game a thing of history, than the baseball candidates were called out by Coach Carver. Over twenty boys responded, and the squad was certainly a promising one. As the new athletic field is still in poor shape, the turnouts are held on the Sehome School grounds, which only furnish meagre accommodations. Through the courtesy of the Elks' Club it has been made possible for the squad to practice at Elks' Park several times a week, and all the home games will be played on these grounds. Plenty of material was in evidence for every position on the team, except the battery positions, and only a few candidates showed up for these places. Under the direction of Coach Carver and Captain Roy Mohrmann, the team was picked as follows: W. Evans, catcher; I. Larsen and F. Beck, pitchers; P. Mohrmann, first base; G. Smith, E. Haracich, second base; A. Griffen, short-stop; L. Swartz, third base; C. Platz, H. Wold, R. Reid and E. Rairdon, outfielders. Although Evans plays a better game in the field than he does behind the bat, the scarcely of material compelled Coach Carver to place him in this position. Larsen, a right-handed flinger, and Beck, a port-sider, are doing the pitching, and it is likely before the season is over that this will be one of the strongest parts of the team. With Captain Mohrmann on the initial bag, this position is being cared for in the best possible manner, as he is a man of a great deal of experience. A fight is going on over the keystone corner between Smith, from Ferndale and Haracich, a local High School man, with odds about even. Griffen, from the South Side High School, is speeding around the short field, showing lots of class. Swartz, a veteran of three seasons, is again at his old station at third base, which he held last season. The outfield, Page One Hundred Seventy-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 174 ---------- which was weak last season, is being filled by a bunch of hitters, and Platz, Wold, Reid and Rairdon are covering lots of ground. Only two games have been played so far, but a heavy schedule has been arranged for. NORMAL, 13-SOUTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL, 0. The first game of the season was played against our old rivals from South Bellingham, and although a close game was looked for, it was a decided walk-away, as the score indicates. The Normal men worked well in the field, and hit the ball at will, showing rare form for so early in the season. Beck, who twirled in the first part of the game, did not allow a hit, and Larsen, who succeeded him, was only touched up for a couple of singles. NORMAL, 7; BLAINE HIGH SCHOOL, 6. The second game was played at Blaine, and again our boys came out victorious. The local boys started things in the first inning, and annexed five runs, but after that the Blaine flinger settled down and the locals had a hard time getting hits off his delivery, although they scored again in the sixth and ninth. For eight innings the best Blaine could do was to collect two runs, but in the last half of the ninth they came near tieing the score, but fast fielding prevented this, and so the Normal record was clear. Page One Hundred Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 175 ---------- TRACK MAY twenty-seventh, 1914, was the scene of the Annual Track Meet between the Bellingham High and Normal Schools, and although the High School boys won, they were made to "hump" all the way through, the score being 60-63. It was probably the closest meet ever held in the City. The High School entered the meet with the idea they were going up against something easy, and the Normal boys had something of the same idea, as very little interest had previously been shown in Track; the boys being mostly occupied with Baseball. While the High School squad practiced all spring, our team practically was without training, some of the men never taking part in an event until the day of the meet. In the sprints we had things all our own way. "Red" Montgomery took first place in every dash, with Swartz and Neeley close behind him. The best the "Hi" could do was to take third place in two of the dashes. The broad jump was won by the Prep. boys, but Neeley took second place, and Croy third. First, second and third was all that the Normal took in the shot put, Nattrass, Neeley and Hansen placing. We had no show in the hurdles, Knaack being the only man to get a place. Sloan took third place in the high jump, and the other places went to the High School. Marshall won the pole vault in dandy form. First and third places were captured in the discus by Folsom and Nattrass. The distance runs were all in the favor ol the High School, they taking every place but third in the mile, which was won by Lewis. The High School saw they hlad no show in the relay, so failed to enter a team, but the Normal Four, composed of Swartz, Montgomery, Knaack and Neeley, ran off the distance in excellent time. Those who made their "B" were Montgomery, with 16 1/4 points; Swartz, with 8 1/4 points; Neeley, with 10 1/4 points; Knaack, with 4 1/4 points; Marshall, with 5 points; Nattrass, with 6 points, and Folsom, with 5 points. Page One Hundred Seventy-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 176 ---------- THE NORMAL TRACK TEAM Back Row-Croy, Coach Carver, Gray, Miller Center--Bixby, Ceiling, Haracisch, Gwin, Mohrman, Aitken, Odle Front Row--Breakey, Boggan, Kelly, Gardner Considerable interest is being shown in Track this year, and quite a number of experienced men are in School. It is expected the Normal boys will give a good account of themselves this year. Wold, Rairdon, Beck, and Neeley are tryiny for the sprints, and among the others trying for places are Kelley for the mile, Miller for the middle distances, Gardner and Bixhy for the jumps and pole vault, and a number of other good men are turning out, so chances for a first-class, well-balanced team are very bright. At least three meets will be held this year, with Sedro-Woolley High School, Bellingham High School, and Ferndale High School. We expect the boys to take every meet, and believe they will do it. A little more interest could be shown by the students over the Athletic teams, than has been shown in the past, for the Normal School turns out some mighty fine, well-coached teams. Athletics have been successful in every way this year, and they deserve the patronage of every student. Next year it is hoped the Athletic Field will be in first-class shape, and the teams will not have to practice away from the School. When the wishes of Dr. Nash are carried out, the Bellingham 4 Normal will have one of the finest Athletic Fields in the Northwest. Everyone should get in and boost, and help to make the old Normal School one of the finest anywhere. Page One Hundred Seventy-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 177 ---------- TENNIS Tennis Classes have been organized, and the Normal will soon have a body of good tennis players, instead of a few tennis sharks. Girls' Athletics GIRLS' ATHLETICS this year can boast only of Basketball, but there has been greater interest in it than in previous years. Not only have we had Class teams, but the Thespian, Alkisiah and Philomathean Societies each organized a team. The Philos were challenged by both the other societies, and won the honors in both games. The Class Teams were organized in early October, and practiced faithfully until March, when the traditional Kline Cup games were played. The Kline Cup is a trophy given to the Normal by Kline Bros., former jewelers of this city. Each year the Classes contest for the Cup. At the opening of this year the Sophomores were obliged to withdraw from the contest, on account of lack of numbers, the Class being the smallest in the School. The Freshmen were also at a disadvantage of numbers, but kept in the field, and showed fair play and a great deal of pluck. The first game was played February twelfth, Juniors vs. Freshmen, won by the Juniors. The second game was played March eighth, Seniors vs. Freshmen, won by the Seniors. The final game was played by the two winning teams, Juniors and Seniors. Both teams played their hardest, but the Juniors won the much-coveted Cup. It will be held as a challenge to all Classes next year, and we hope it may arouse even more interest in Basketball than has been shown this year. Much of the success of Basketball is due to the efforts of Miss Nickerson, the Physical Education Director, who has insisted on clean playing throughout. Much credit is due to the loyal Coaches and Managers of the teams, who have worked faithfully and spared no efforts to train good teams. Volleyball is being played, under the supervision of Miss Nickerson, and next year she hopes to have Class competition in Volleyball.

Mr. Manley (over phone)-"Is this you, Darling?" Elva Nuttall (sweetly)- "Yes, who is talking?" "I tell you," said Ben Tidball, sighing happily, "There is an indescribable sense of luxury in lying in bed and ringing one's bell for one's valet."

At a time when smallpox was reported about the town, one of the Student Teachers heard the following conversation between two little chaps: Joe-"Say, Tommy, have you been vaccinated?" Tommy-"Gee, no! I'm not vaccinated, but I'm baptized!" "HOW DEAR TO MY HEART:" (Tune of "The Old Oaken Bucket.") "How dear to my heart is this thing they call Latin, When fond recitation presents it to view, The clauses, the phrases, all dressed in their satin, And every loved ending that makes us feel blue. The high-sounding doo-dads and outlandish diet, The slave with a spear and the Roman who fell, The verbal gerundive, the noun crouching nigh it, Are hidden in Latin, which I love so well. (CHORUS) That time-honored Latin, That iron-bound Latin, That moss- covered Latin, Which hangs on so well! The subject, the verb, and the bow-legged compound, The flexible gerund and subjunctive mood; The clauses of purpose encourage the pronoun To take the possessive and silently brood. The loose-jointed supine and verbal declensions Join hands with diclensions and joyfully dwell, In temporal clauses of Gothic dimensions, And e'en in the Latin, which I love so well. I tenderly open my mind to receive it As, poised on my table, it joyfully drips; No hair- raising ball-game could tempt me to leave it Though filled with the things which America sips. Their fuss from the diamond fills all the creation, In tribute to home runs they noisily yell; I close down my window in anticipation, And cling to my Latin, which I love so well.

A believer in organized charity cites this as an example of mis- directed tender-heartedness. A very benovelent but absent-minded old gentleman, riding in his carriage one hot July day, noticed a toad in the dusty road, gasping with the heat. In the kindness of his heart he climbed down, tenderly moved the poor toad into the shade of his carriage and then, thoroughly satisfied with his good deed, climbed up again and drove on.

Military Instructor--"What is meant by 'Hereditary enemies' "? Recruit-"Your relations!" ON A FISHING TRIP. Mr. Bond-"Boys, the boat is sinking. Is there anyone here who knows how to pray?" Mr. Hulse (eagerly)-"I do." Mr. Bond-"All right! all right! You pray and the rest of us will put on life belts. They're one shy!" Page One Hundred Eighty- Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 185 ---------- ONE OTHER. "Yes,' said Mr. Bever, leaning his weary head on one hand as he addressed the Class in Rural Sociology, "I had a somewhat painful experience of that kind myself, when I was living in North Yakima." "I was standing in the stall and another horse kicked me." HUNTING SEASON. A hunter popped a partridge on a hill It made a great to-do and then was still. It seems when later on his bag he spied, It was the guide! One shot a squirrel in a nearby wood, A pretty shot, off-hand from where he stood. It wore, they said, a hunting suit of brown, And lived in town! And one dispatched a rabbit for his haul, That later proved to measure six feet tall. And lest you think I'm handing you a myth, It's name was Smith! Another Nimrod slew the champion fox, He glimpsed him lurking in among the rocks. One rapid shot! It never spoke or moved, The inquest proved! A "cautious" man espied a gleam of brown, Was it a deer, or Jones, a friend from town? But while he pondered by the river's brim, Jones potted him! SIMPLIFIED SPELLING. The dentist had just moved into a place previously occupied by a baker, when Doctor Deerwester came to call. Dentist-"Pardon me a moment, while I dig off those enamel letters of 'Bakeshop' from the front window." The Doctor-"Why not merely dig off the 'B' and let it go at that?" Rejoice, and men will seek you, grieve and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, but they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; be sad, and you lose them all,- There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, but alone you must drink Life's gall. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MODERN TENDENCY. Bobby-"Hey, there! I saw you kissing sister, last night." Mr. Jones-"Well, I'm not going to pay you a quarter this time. Ten cents is enough." Bobby-"That's the tendency in these days, to cut out the middle-man and let the goods go straight from the producer to the consumer without charge." MAKING FOR COOLTH. Miss Baxter-"How does the Mexican hairless dog shed his coat this weather?" Doc-"He doesn't change his coat; he simply takes lighter pants." Page One Hundred Eighty- Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 186 ---------- DIFFICULT. A country politician in New Jersey was elected School Commissioner. One day he visited a school and told the teacher he desired to examine the boys and girls. A Spelling Class was performing, so the Commissioner said he would inquire into the proficiency of that organization. The teacher gave him a spelling book, and the students lined up in front of the mighty educator. He thumbed the book, then pointing at the first boy, he said: "Spell Eggpit." "E-g-g-p-i-t," slowly spelled the boy. "Wrong," said the Commissioner, and pointing to the next boy. "E-g-g-p-i-t," spelled the boy. "Wrong. You spell it." The next boy spelled it the same way, and the next and the next and the next. "Bad spellers these," commented the Commissioner to the distressed teacher. "Why, Mr. Commissioner," she protested, "They have all spelled 'Eggpit' correctly." "They have not!" "Will you let me see the word in the book?" the teacher asked tearfully. "I am sure they have." "Here it is!" said the Commissioner, and he pointed to the word, "Egypt!" ALL COMMUNICATIONS.

My son immediately began to exclaim about its beauty, the greenness of its foliage and the sweetness of the bird songs which issued from within the closely woven twigs and branches.

Then I licked him when he came home and after that his father licked him; and I had to give him another for being impudent to me for telling his father. So you need not lick him till next time.

The Class in Psychology II. had just been called, and many students came in during the roll. These, as the rule goes, were to be counted not there until after Class, when they were to report the cause of their tardiness. Several of them could not wait, but raised their hands, and the instructor crossed them off her books. After gazing concernedly all about the class, that worthy exclaimed impatiently: "Now, are there any other people here who are absent." A SOFT PIAZZA. "The walk had been long and sunny.

September 8, 1914. Last night a crowd of us came down on the train, found pillows on which to lay our heads in the town of Bellingham, and to-day we went up to register. The hall was absolutely impermeable, impenetrable, inaccessible, and untraversable by seven A. M., and we got there at eight. I leave the rest to your imagination. Oh, Diary Dear! Most of the people up here seem very pleasant and everybody grins at everybody else. Lots of them have been here before. I think the year will be a very happy one. September 10. Classes began to-day. Doctor Deerwester seems to have a sense of humor. September 11. Our first assembly to-day and Doctor Nash spoke to us, following an address given by the former President, Doctor Mathes. Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Mathes gave some musical numbers. "Toot for your own School. Buy a horn, and put the little hammer away!" was given us for our motto. The other members of the Faculty extended the various specimen of their good will to us, and then we "moseyed" back to classes. September 14. Football practice to-day. September 15. Miss Wilson rode forth on her hobby. September 18. I got my sieat in assembly. So did the other eight hundred. September 23. Doctor Norton, of Korea, addressed us during assembly. We ran over time, but we should worry, when we can hear anything so good as this. I believe I'll go to Korea to teach. September 28. Miss Baker tells us of the progressive meeting she attended. I don't know, but I think I'll be a progressive too. Sometimes I'm kind of afraid that these teachers are trying to mould our lives! They constantly present new and attractive ideas. September 30. "In the future," says the Doctor, "the ladies of the Faculty may make their own announcements." Miss Baxter brought it on their heads by her excellent speech in assembly. One month has flown. October October 1. Hail to the return of Summer. In reality it is but Summer's spirit returned lo tide the Autumn over with sunshine and blue skies. October 3. Bellingham Normal football team defeated 7 to 0 by Ferndale. Doctor Nash has a cheery word for the boys. "Many times Page Two Hundred Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 206 ---------- great things come through defeat." I wonder if there is any truth in that? I shall think about it. October 5. Miss Brown gave us some interesting moments in assembly this morning, but it was a program rendered wholly by proxy. The Great War was introduced by Doctor Raymond, who spoke on Constantinople. October 6. The Junior Class Officers were elected. Ben Tidball was made President; Ethel Milner, Secretary, and Archie Turnbull, Treasurer. Doctor Raymond speaks on Russia. October 7. Lew Greene urges more football enthusiasm. October 9. Albert Hennes, though not an "All American Yell King," as yet is "Some Yell Kink" just the same. He taught us two new ones, and told us about the old ones. October 10. Team plays Mount Vernon-42 to 0. October 12. Doctor Nash sings, "Asa's Death," from "Peer Gynt" Suite, at assembly. I certainly enjoyed it, and so did the other eight hundred. Mr. Bond- seems as if it ought to be Professor Bond-spoke about the value of a College Education. We shall all make it a point to go to college now. October 14. Mrs. Sampson of Hawaii, sang the Hawaiian National song, and some others in the native tongue, accompanying herself on a "Ukilalee" the while. I think it would be great fun to teach in Hawaii. I wonder if they will accept our diplomas there? Me for the Land of the Rainbow. October 16. "The Rosary" and "A Perfect Day" were sung very excellently and with much feeling by Miss Drake. Dr. Nash returned from Okanogan, bringing greetings from many older sisters and brothers in Alma Mater. Our School seems to have made a record, and the way you spell it is this: E-F- F-I-C-I-E-N-C-Y ! I hope none of us will forget about this. It's sure some record! October 19. "Modern Poetry" receives its due at the hands of Miss Edens. One of the best talks we've had this year. Waffle Day at the Cafeteria. October 20. Washington's First Annual Apple Day! The Cafeteria on hand with the needful. October 21. Mrs. Smith reads. Once more does the spirit of Modern Poetry rejoice in its interpreter. We got in the Movies to-day, besides, the whole eight hundred and one of us. Aida Uddenberg made an awful face as she passed the camera. Our first fire-drill and a chance to escape half aperiod. October 22. I haven't seen Mr. Hartranft since he used to come out to our home years ago, and fill himself full of Strawberry Shortcake, and tell time-honored stories (much to his wife's disgust). And to-day he appeared, looking just the same as ever, regardless of the fact that eight hundred of us have grown up in the meantime, and addressed the Primary Methods Class. Am I irrelevant, Dear Diary? October 23. The Seniors march triumphantly into the Auditorium and chant reflections on the other Classes and triumphal praises of their own. Hurray for our side! Mr. Epley gives us the Agricultural Bug. I wonder if I saved half of my salary for ten years, could I buy a farm? Page Two Hundred Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 207 ---------- October 26. Mr. and Mrs. Gebaroff entertain the students. October 28. Miss Mildred Robinson entertains us with her violin. We recognize Genius in the bud and are glad that little Miss Robinson has Madame Davenport-Engberg for her teacher. The Class has its Hallowe'en Party. I mean the Seniors, of course, when I say The Class. October 31. Yesterday and the day before was vacation for all but the Training School Teachers. Our Team holds Mt. Vernon down to a 0-0 score. And so flits the Second Month. November November 2. Some team spirit exhibited to-day and the Dog yelped wildly for his "Own State Normal." November 3. Election Day. November 4. Doctor Nash appoints Miss Hays to speak on the W. E. A. November 6. Mr. Hulse talked to us about the schools at Gary, Indiana. I wish all schools were models. November 7. Our Team plays Anacortes, with result of 7 to 13. November 9. Teaching assignments posted. We get "Shooed" out of the hall by Doctor Nash, who disbelieves in blocking traffic. In Assembly Miss Jensen talked about Ideals. It seems that Ideals are valu-able and not to be scoffed at. Assembly finished before the bell this time. November 13. Doctor Eliot, son of Harvard's President Emeritus, spoke to us to-day. More about Ideals and Idealism. Must be something in it! November 16. We beat Ferndale, 6 to 0. November 16. Our landlady moralizes at the table. It's no wonder I'm blue. A light snow fell this morning, and what with red noses, and cold feet, and the quarter commencing and everyone cross as two sticks, at home and at school and on the streets and everywhere. It's no wonder they call it Blue Monday! If I had a nickel I'd go to a Movie! Maybe Hannah will lend me one. November 18. "The King of the Golden River," given us by Miss Drake's Class. . November 20. "Hail, Normal Hail" is introduced to us by Doctor Nash. It's a great song, and every word true! November 21. Last night the Y. W. C. A. gave their annual banquet. The Juniors had their Class Party this evening, a "Hard Times" turnout. The Team played the North Side. November 23. I'm so busy I can'" get time to study. Mr. Hoppe, from Cheney Normal, read "The Fortune Hunter," this evening. The Faculty entertained the visiting "Pedagogs" at a reception. I am told they had "eats." It pays to be a Pedagog. Miss Fox, traveling Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., spoke at assembly. Page Two Hundred Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 208 ---------- November 24. Junior Class Meeting. Yells distributed. I wonder if they have as much "pep." as they let on. Tryouts for Junior Play. November 25. Vacation Ho! I'd like to hug every one of our Pilgrim forefathers for their bright idea in establishing a Day of Thanksgiving. Five days in Seattle! Only think of it, Dear Diary! November 30. Special Assembly to-day reminded us that such things as Assemblies do really exist after all, and that the Thanksgiving Recess is fast fading into the past. Doctor Moody, of Africa, spoke about that wonderful continent. I believe I could make a living in Africa! In the interests of The Peace Society, Mr. Jones spoke of the brave little land of Belgium and pleaded for aid for its wounded and starving citizens. My quarter told me that it wanted to go to Belgium. That means five "Movies," but since I'm not much of a seamstress and can't assist the Home Ec. in their good work, I think I'll let it go. The hat is to be passed at the next Assembly. Mr. Jones is some pleader to be able to take the nickels from Normal students! After his talk Miss Mead gave us an example of stirring patriotism in her speech entitled, "Thank God for America!" And so speeds November to its close! December December 1. There's a feeling in the air already, and the stores are blossoming out with multitudes of poinsettias and pearly mistletoe and shining dark holly leaves, inset with crimson berries. It's the gay time of the year, and the girls are all wearing red and white sweaters and coats and stocking caps, and the wind takes the trouble to blow from the North, and altogether we feel quite like the picture postcards of wintry scenes, even if we are fortunate enough to live on the Pacific Coast! December 2. Mrs. Deerwester gave a recital at Assembly to-day. Kipling's "Recessional" was the selection which attracted the most comment, but we enjoyed everyone of Mrs. Deerwester's songs. I bade my quarter a fond farewell and dropped it into Mr. Jones' hat at the door of the Auditorium to-day. December 4. Virginia came in for her share of our attention to-day, when Miss Montgomery addressed the students in Assembly. "Those West Virginia Hills" was sung very sweetly by Miss Murphy. December 5. The Philo program netted forty-three dollars and five cents for the Belgians. All praise to the Philo's! December 7. The stern figure of the Janitor is seen guarding the doors of the Auditorium from all late comers to-day. "Is There Any Christianity in Warring Europe?" is the question Miss Knowles discussed to-day. December 9. "A Grand Opera Season In New York" was the theme of Miss McCarthy's address. We heard some of the life stories of the Great Ones and learned that Caruso was one of a family of twenty-three children. Another case of genius emerging from a large family. Page Two Hundred Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 209 ---------- We also learned something of the life of the late Madame Nordica, who was Lillian Norton before her career began. Say, Diary! Some day let's go where we can hear the fine things of the world sung first hand. I'm pick of Victrola records, now that Miss McCarthy has enthused us so. December 12. On Saturday night "The Bird of Paradise" was given at the Metropolitan Theatre. I went, and so did the rest of the School. All the Dignitaries of the "Institushun" were seated in the "Normal Box" with the "scum." December 14. Miss Nickerson gave us a talk on "Settlement Houses in Buffalo." The Juniors think they are pretty smart, but the Seniors "showed 'em." Let 'em keep the pieces of their pennant. The Victory is Ours! December 16. Mr. W. Bridge Jones, assisted by Mrs. Jones, gave us a recital this morning. Mr. Jones sang the following group of songs: "The Total Eclipse," "Yesterday and To-day," "Thou Art Like a Child" and "Soldier's Farewell." President Wilson (not Woodrow, but the Ellensburg "Prexy)", spoke to us and one thing which he gave us to think about was this: The idea that a strong life cannot long remain in darkness. I hope that there are eight hundred or so who will remember this and not hesitate a moment longer to tie onto a star. December 18. Miss Norton gives us inside information on the Coal Mine War in Colorado. It certainly was interesting. December 21. Went to a Movie and came home in a jitney. Mr. Patchin spoke about Salt Lake City to-day. Shades of Shakspoke! Where did the man acquire the vocabulary. December 23. The Training School gave a fine program, after which we flew for the interurbans, boats and trains. Home again at last, but I'll believe people now when they tell me that the Tunnel under Seattle is the longest tunnel in the world. And it isn't just because it runs from Virginia to Maine (Streets) either! It's the feeling that a person gets when his home town looms up and the train stops just outside. December 30. Christmas is over. The Saint left lots of presents in his wake and once again we turn to school. January fifth is the fatal day. And thus December speeds and the year Nineteen Fourteen is spun into the pale but royal purple of the past. May our New Year prove as full of hope and striving as the Old. January January 5. Back to the field of our strenuous endeavor. January 6. Doctor Nash wishes us all a Happy New Year. We certainly hope that same thing will occur to him, and to the other "ministering spirits." January 7. Doctor Deerwester is seen with a vicious expression on. January 8. Doctor Deerwester appears to be lost in thought on several occasions when alone in his office. Miss Sands talks about Japan, and shows beautiful views of the Page Two Hundred Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 210 ---------- little island of the East. I wonder if anybody in Yokohama needs a governess? The Basketball team won from Sedro-Woolley. Hurrah! January 9. Doctor Deerwester makes out Exam. Questions in the privacy of his home, but is seen by one of the official class spies, and we are warned that something of unusual "direness' is about to take place on Monday. The Doctor consumed nearly a ton of sour pickles while making out the questions. There ought to be a law forbidding the sale of sour pickles to Professors. We shall all have to stay home from the Movies to-day and memorize our History of Ed.! Say, Bo, who was Comenius? January 11. Monday, Miss Rhodes gave a talk on Art. Fine! Both the arts and the talk. Exam. in History of Education. We were asked to name all the great Educators of the World and tell the stories of their lives. I put Doctor Deerwester down at the top of the list! That was Policy, wasn't it? I just know I'll get an "A." January 12. Doctor Deerwester was seen late last night eating sweet pickles and correcting papers! January 13. We wonder if maybe we couldn't improve our grades by inviting ,'them" to go to Movies with us once in a while? If Mary Campbell will take Miss Sperry, I'll take Mrs. Thatcher. To- day in Assembly, we listened to a worth-while recital by Mrs. Nash, wife of our President, who was assisted by Mrs. W. Bridge Jones. Her songs were, "My Heart, Oh Thy Sweet Voice," from "Mallinote," Samson and Delilah; "In the Time of Roses," and "The Star." And altho the student body made manifest oodles and oodles of appreciative enthusiasm, she refused an encore and we had to be satisfied. January 15. Some cunning children in the Senior Class. Oh, to have curls like Grace Munsen's! I wish we could be young again; or, if not, that we could have Kid Parties every night! January 16. The Juniors had a Kid Party too. Copy-cats! January 17. The Mid-Years were given opportunity and incentive to attend church to-day, and a few of the rest of us went along. The Baccalaureate Sermon was preached at the Baptist church. January 22. Goodbye to the Mid-Year Seniors, and God-speed! Soon do we follow! The fifth month of the School Year flies, and Nineteen-Fifteen is one month old already. February February 1. Mrs. Termaat's subject was most interesting and the Cotton Industry occupies a more prominent position in my apperceptive mass than heretofore. February brings the snowdrops and the other first flowers of our Coast spring-time. There is still a place in the wardrobe for the dear old stocking cap, however. February 2. The Junior girls won from the Freshmen girls in Basketball. February 3. Mrs. Thatcher gave one of the best talks of the year Page Two Hundred Ten ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 211 ---------- and supplemented her lecture on the music of the Indians, by personal rendition of several very sweet, plaintive, native songs. And altho we like and respect her choice of Victrola records, we are always better pleased when we can hear Mrs. Thatcher herself sing. February 5. We didn't know that there was a second Carolyn Wells hidden in the Faculty Hedge. When shall we hear again from Miss Willoughby? February 8. Pullman Glee Club entertains us. Miss Wilson talks interestingly on New Orleans. February 10. Miss Sperry talks on her European trip. February 12. Lincoln's birthday was justly celebrated this year. Bunny Welch read a part from "The Crisis." You know that part where Lincoln leaves Stephen Brice and Virginia Carvel alone in his inner office, after his reprieve of Clarence Colfax. And where it speaks of the Stars and Stripes floating once again in sight of the home of George Washington, and you feel sad to think there was a time when a different Flag streamed out in the sunshine of our capitol! Some Bunny! Joyce Day also helped to make the day a success and her work was equally well received by most, and on account of its serious quality, better appreciated by many. February 13. Vancouver plays the Normal. February 17. A speech that topped them all was given to-day by Dr. Deerwester. The Life of Luther Burbank was the topic, and we were all inspired to investigate the field of Natural Experimentation and Research. February 19. Miss Neff read to us in Assembly, in honor of the Birthday of Washington. We sang National Hymns and felt very patriotic. I think we Washingtonians have a right to feel an intense reverence and love for the one for whom our State is named. It gives us just one more reason to celebrate the memory of the Father of Our Country! The Normal beat Van Wyck. Class, eh? February 23. Miss Woodbury, of New York City, talked to us to-day on the Immigration Question. February 24. Miss Lawrence holds forth on "Et-a-Cat." February 28. On the twenty-sixth we had a Special Assembly, and Mr. Sampson, the former President of the Cheney Normal, talked to us. The question that we are left to answer is this: Are we up to standard? Are we One Hundred per cent. efficient, physically, mentally, and spiritually? And if not what are we to do? Evidently that's for Mr. Sampson to know and the rest of us to find out! What'll we do about it? February is over at last. It's a brief month, but it takes full Page Two Hundred Eleven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 212 ---------- Normal Students WE TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN THANKING EACH AND EVERYONE FOR YOUR PATRON-AGE DURING the SCHOOL YEAR To those that will return, we wish to be able to serve you as before; assuring you that we will give you the best at a moderate price.

Cassie Cales was elected Klipsun reporter. 38 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 39 ---------- 1915 KLIPSUN 1916 Junior 39 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 40 ---------- 1915 KLIPSUN 1916 [IMAGE] Junior Class 40 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 41 ---------- Van Horn Mathes Reedy Ashman Junior Class History Histories are, generally speaking, frightfully dry and uninteresting because the majoritly of them consist of merely an out-line of events-cold, prosaic facts; and yet it seems to me a biographic outline of the Junior Class of 1915-16, even in this trite form, must of necessity prove interesting by the number and variely of its happenings. The Junior Class consists of some five hundred aind fifty boys and girls (emphasis on the latter), versatile in talents, splendid in energy, and boundless in enthusiaism. They have taken a prominent part in athletics of all kinds football, basketlall, tennis, track and baseball acquitting themselves nobly in each. Their social career has been no less interesting; a mixer given in the early fall of the year, the reception to the Seniors, and the demonstration on the campus were all of a most enjoyable nature. The two things, however, which seem most truly representative of the junior class, in that they revealed more clearly its inherent ability in both a creative and an executive way, were the class play and the Junior edition of the Messenger. "Milestones" was presenlted on the evening of April 15th. The characters were exceedingly well portrayed and the effect produced by the play as a whole was in every detail, artistic. The Juniors succeeded in widening to no mean extent the boundaries and limits contained in the word "amateurs." The prodluction was staged under the dlirection of Miss Abby Sumner, of the Expression Department, which fact renders the success of the play, in truth, self-explanatory. Perhaps there is no better pllace for 41 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 42 ---------- the Junior Class to publicly express its gratitude to Miss Sumner and appreciation of her invaluable help and guidance in this work, than here. The experience of each member of the cast and my own experience prompt me to say that it is indeed an inspira-tion to work under her. The Messenger, under the editorship of Mr. Scarseth, was de-lightful. Three cheers for its contributors, Mr. Scarseth, and the class he rel)resented. This year, with its falterings and triumphs, will reach its comlpletion in May. Some are going to experience the thrills of blissful seniorhood (fortunate ones), the rest of us step forth to meet thrills of rather a different sort, and yet, no matter where we he or into what remote corner of the earth the winds of chance may send our little ships of state, or whether the fickle God of For-tune designs to smile on us or not, we shall always have at least this year to look back upon with exceeding pleasure. We shall feel again that spirit of fire and energy that made the Junior Class the life of the school. We shall take pride in our past achieve-ments and in the worthy precedents we established for those who must needs follow in our footsteps. We are deeply grateful to the Faculty for the hell) they have so generously extended; we feel that they have given us some-thing of inestimable value in the work which is to follow and for which this year has been in a small way preparatory. They have taught us to love our work and thru our loving, give the best we have to it, and to expect in return only that which our giving justifies. They have awakened in us a desire to pass on the burn-ing torch of civilization to the new generations and thus share in the great spirit of service. It will be hard to part with some of the old scenes grown so lear-harder still with the many new-found friends--but we feel the greatness of the new life ahead and of the ending year-can say with Hugo, "It closes on the twilight, it opens on the dawn," and so to those who are to experience further the joy and inspiration in the work here and those who, with the close of the year, must turn their backs on the dear old B. S. N. S. to go strange ways-- until tomorrow, at least, "Au revoir, my friend--and-good luck to you." GERTRUDE L.

We are the largest, the strongest, the most enthusiastic "bunch" that has ever entered the doors of dear old B. S. N. S. Those who were Juniors last year missed some of their old friends, but soon found many new Seniors who were ready to take their places. Being quite familiar with school routine, it was not long before we were toiling over the deep subjects of Hist. of Ed., Phil. of Ed., and Sociology. And in addition we have always been more than well represented in all school enter-prises. On Tuesday, October 12th, the Seniors met for the first time and elected the following officers who so faithfully piloted us through the first semester: NEWTON MCCOY -- --- President RUTH MULLIN -- --- Vice President STELIA GOYNE - ---- Secrelary WAI'rTER KELLY . .----- Treasirer DELBErT HENNES - - - - - Serean -al-A s We were very fortunate in having Dr. D)cerwester, Miss Hogle, IMr. Moodie and Miss Sperry for our class teachers. The first social affair given by the Seniors was the mixer held in the Normal School club rooms, on Friday, October 1. The room was beautifully decorated( with cut flowers anld draleries of the class colors, olive green and gold. Several clever "stunts" were features of the occasion and furnished a great d(eal of amuse-ment. After this came toothsome refreshments. At the beginning of the second semester we elected new officers: DELBEVRTI HENNES - -- - - - - President I)OROTHY GATTON - - - - - - Vice President A. S. HARTLEY - ------ Secretary F()RREST BREAKEY ---- -- Trcasuirer GERTRUDE MC'AHAN -- - - Sergeant-at-Arms At midyear thirty-nine Seniors left our midst, but many new ones came in to fill their places. To these new members a recep-tion of welcome was tendered on the evening of Friday, March the 10th. It was given in the big gym and was in the form of a F.,' ' ;' , .; ;. ,. . ,, , ;7-z ,'.;- :,,- ::,' ,; ,-,. ,., - ,, _ - , :., ,,_:. . . __ . , . ...... .. . i l ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 48 ---------- country masquerade. Oh, what a circus we had! A mock wed-ding, pantomimes, Mrs. Deerwester with her wonderful phono-graphic interpretations, and Grace Sherman with her folk dancing were some of the exceedingly amusing and interesting numbers given for our entertainment. Games of all kinds occupied the remainder of the evening, until the "good eats" were served, which fittingly concluded a hilarious good time. To show the school that we were very much awake we gave a most interesting Washington's birthday program in the audi-toriuin Wednesday morning, February 23. We were "right there" with songs, Ukulele, pantomimes, etc., etc. The Kline Cup! Oh, yes! The Senior girls won that! One of the most original features of the year was the Senior girls' field meet, or, in other words, "Senior Sneak." At 5:30 on Saturday morning, April 22, they met at the corner of Elk and Holly prepared to take the car for Lake Whatcom, where all the sports took place. By 11:30 they were ready to return, all having had a most hilarious time. The next in order was the Faculty reception to the Seniors. This occurred April the 29th at the Aftermath Club House and was in the form of a musicale. After much deliberation the class play was selected, "The Midsummer Night's Dream," by William Shakespeare. The cast, under the direction of MIr. Hoppe, made it a great success. At last came the final maddlening rush in preparation for (:lass Day, Commencement, etc. The first function was the presi-dent's reception, held May 26th. Needless to say, this was a very successful affair. On Sunday, May 28th, at 3 p. im., Dr. Hugh Ross, of the Con- gregational church, Seattle, delivered the Baccalaureate address. Class D)ay! Yes, this occurred on Monday, May 29th. There was nothing but excitement, and then more excitement all day long. In the morning was Senior assembly, which plainly showed our originality, energy and talent. The campus was beautifully decorated, and in the afternoon the regular ceremonies of laying the stone and planting ivy were performed. In the evening of this day the class play was rendered on the knoll. After all this day's excitement we awoke the next morning •" , 77 .-, ".-7 Y27 7: 7 777,M 7.'. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 49 ---------- ready to enjoy another day of recreation. Early in the morning we all met on the campus to partake of the Senior breakfast. Then in the evening the Juniors entertained us-and they surely did entertain! Our final appearance was made on the morning of May 31st, when we received the long-coveted diplomas, so dear to all of us. The speakers of the day were Prof. Meany, of the University of Washington; Ruth Conner and Solway Kanneklkeberg. Prof. Meany delivered a most interesting and instructive speech, and Ruth Conner, chosen by the Faculty, and Solway Kannekkeberg, chosen by the Class, proved themselves well worthy of represent-ing our class. Then here's to dear old B. S. N. S. May its lofty influence he instrumental in leading us to higher aspirations and the fulfill-ment of noble achievements. Class Motto: "Find a W1ay or Make It." Class Colors: Olive Green and Gold. Class Flower: Marechal Niel Rose. 7i I-' Al ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 50 ---------- 1915 KLIPSUN 1916 ESTHER ANDERSON -- - - - Bellingham Bellingham High School; entered 1915.

The rivulet flows wilh such smoothness; It drives away care and remorse, As, clearly, it winds thru the meadows, And clallers along in its course. The birds have returned wiih the spring-time, And warble their songs in pure bliss, As they merrily flit through the tree-tops, With them, nothing e'er goes amiss. And thus wilh the youtlh in life's spring-time,-- He sings to his merry tune; The earth is before him to conquer,- Let him sing while he may --it is June! -ESTHER PENN, '16. 86 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 87 ---------- Last Will and Testament of Class of '16 We the Class of 1916 of the Bellingham State Normal School, of the County of Whatcomi, State of Washington, bleing of sound and disposing minds and memorics, and not acting under duress, menace, fraud or undue influence of any person whatsoever, do make, pullish and declare this, our last Will and Testamient, for the purpose of disp)osing of our chattels, good will andl personal grudges, and bequeathing our luck, looks an(i love to our success-ors, an(l to that end (do cheerfully give, devise ani leqlueatli the saime as follows, to-wit: ARTI:LE I.

FORREST BREAKEY, .Ir. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 91 ---------- Their Tenth Annual Tour The "Big Four Quartette" of the Bellinghain Stale Norminal School, composed of Mrs. Thatcher, Mr. Plarish, 1)Dr. Nash and Mrs. Nash, are making their tenth annual concert tour. The custom w as established in 1916. Many con certs have been given and nunmerous acquaintances have been renewed amiong former stu-dents, particularly among those of the class of 1916. The follow-ing, which was written iy one of the members of lhce "Big Four," will )possibly interest our readers: "O()ur first conce('(t was given in Ferndale, and immediaely after the intermission the principal of the High School, who is now Nellie Balch, came rushing upl to us, bringing with her Eber-tilla Erickson, Hclen Monroe, Alta C(hichester, Helen Fell and Alice Shields, wlho are amnong the high school staff. They all re-- g etted the absence of Edna MacKinnon, who was mar1'ried la:st montlh. "At Portland we Iet Harriet Abercrombie and Ada Wood. Miss Abericrombie informed us that Emma Jackson was Ililager of the finest beauty parlors in the city, and that Fay Breneman and Newton McCoy, the former president of the class of 1916, were successful exporters of Castle Rock salmon. The second night here we were introduced to Freeman Chute, manual training supervisor at Vancouver. Among the 1)rincipals of the schools of that city were Hazel Gensman, 'Mrs. Alice Frits and Stella Goyne, while the music supervisor was Alice Lund, who was so successful A in our music department at the normal. "In the southern and central part of tle state at the town of Pineville we were recognized by Maude Potter, now assistanti secretary to the counlty auditor. When we reached Olympia the sad news was imparted to us that Elva Uhler had, but a short time before, suddenly (died froim overeating. WVe were imade forgetful of our sadness vwhen we met Elizabeth Mottmlan, now the village dressmaker and gossip. She told us that Helen Leghorn is still teaching; that Hanson Berg had p)roposed to her no less than six times but she had rejected him even to the last; that Leitha Fulk was working in the Fifteen Cent Store; that Marion Haycox was now secretary of the cily Y. 1V. C. A.; that Anna Jacobson's engagement had bleen announced 91 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 92 ---------- to Paul Miescke of Bellingham; that Grace Michael and Margaret Russell had established a home for the feeble minded. "This home and school for the feeble minded interested us so very much that we decided to visit it the next day. When we read the list of inmates we were horrified to find those of Marion Lovejoy, Jean McElroy, Forrest Breakey, Edna Gooding and Ruth Galber among the hundreds. The first night that we were in Seattle we were amazed to have Mary Bestor, Solway Kanekkeberg, Alice Paulsen and Bessie Love present Mrs. Thatcher with an exquisite bunch of roses im-mediately after her solo, 'How Long Will the Asphalt in Pitch Iake Last?' As we were leaving the auditorium we were invited by Ruth Henry to visit Chinatown with her the following morn-ing. Other settlement workers were Daisy Hunter, Martha John-son, May Refior, Gladys Taylor and Minnie Forbes. As we re-turned to Frederick Nelson's for luncheon we were agreeably surprised to find that the waitresses were all former students of our Normal School and without exception of the class of 1916. Elsie Ainslie, Bessie C. Albert, Edna Hanmmerlund and Freda Hallson were among those we met. During our delightful repast a vocal solo was rendered by Mrs. Jane Colby, leading soloist of lunch room. Just after the coffee was served who should come over and introduce herself but Mrs. J. Jones, who used to be Linda Holtine, and with her was Gladys Kernaghan, whom we later learned was her mnaid. When Dr. Nash stepped to the cashier's Sd esk to pay the bill, lo and behold, who should be there in the cashier's chair but Henrietta Utermark. As we were wending our way thru the crowd on the main floor who do you suppose rushed up to me and heartily shook my hand? None other than our for-mer pianist, June Matheny. "When we emlbarked on the steamship "Tacoma" for Ta-come we were astounded to find Jason Nevins as the purser on that liner. Can you iinagine our consternation when uplon enter-ing the lunch roomi to find Elsie Ridlen the head waitress, with May Reynolds as her assistant and her sister Goldie as dish-washer? On board we met Leone Baker, who informed us that she was just returning from buying her trousseau, and a little later we came upon Marine Hjaltaline, who was loaded with boxes and bundles marked for 'Miss Ieone Baker.' As a sudden fog had suddenly blown in from the ocean we were compelled to go into ,. ,, . .v..p. .; 3 .; .. , S:.. ,: , ,,..: ., . a. _; ,. " ,. ' . ... ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 93 ---------- the cabin, where we were amused and entertained by readings and solos given by Mary Hootman and Daisy Porter, accompanied on the piano by that sweet-faced Mary Hemminger, who is the same young lady who was a formecr student at our Normal School. "We chanced to lie in Everett the week that they were hold-ing their semi-annual institute, and( even tho we were very Imuclh rushed for time deci(le(I it woull lie better to attend and if pos-sible lend a helping hand( to those whom we realize are endleavor-ing to follow in our footsteps. Accordingly 8 o'clock found us with the thousanii teachers read(y for roll call. Among those names which we recognized( were Hazel Bigby, who is teaching in one of the rural schools; Barbara Conroy, who was forced to re-turn to Puget Sound on account of her health; Lulu Nelson, whom we hardly recognized on account of her snow white hair; Kirby Smith, who we learned was now a gra(luate from the University at Seattle. 1We were all so thankful, as the names of those teach-ers became unfamiliar we were attracte( Iby the county secretary, who was calling the roll. Indeed, her sweet voice could( not long have been heard and not recognized, for it was Violet ,Marshall, now serving her third tcrin for the county. After the roll call a calisthenic drill of the primary teachers was given, conducted by Kathleen Skalley, who you doubtless remember was an expert on the gymnasium floor. As we were going aboard our boat after a delightful stol)over, whomi should we see on the dock but two in-dividuals, namely, lEdythe and Ethel Tucker, who claim to be twins but who still look as unlike as they did in the year of their graduation. "We are not sure just when we will return, but hope that it will be sometime within the next month. In the meantime re-member us to your admirable p)resi(lent of the Normal School, Delbert Hennes and Ruth Conner, the head of the Expression D)e-partment. If you chance to nmeet Gertrude lMcMlahan give her our hearty congratulations over her re-election as Mayor of Belling-hain."

We are practically the first senior class of the Normal High that has had a live organization, for we have made upl in (luality what we lacked in quantity. We are a little band-there are only about a dozen of us- nevertheless the whole High School has felt our influence. The Board of Control was made up of Seniors and one poor lonesome Junior! Yet the administration has been im-partial and just, we hope, and we are all glad of the opportunity we had of serving our fellow students. We do so hope that we may have regular graduation exercises and diplomas. This is our last plea, and we trust it will be re-garded. As we separate and go out to different work, may we keep the enthusiasm and perseverance that has characterized the work of this year. Some will go away, perhaps, but "more will stay at home." Anyway, may we be better co-workers because of the little training we have had in our class, and let us constantly place our ideals and amlbitions higher and higher. Thus we may become better students, and later better citizens. Let us "hitch our wagons to a star," and wherever we are called may we give our best service. 97 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 98 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 SENIOR CLASS OF HIGH SCHOOL 98 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 99 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Klipsun Organizations 99 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 100 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Thespian Dramatic Club 100 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 101 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club Since the organization of the Thespians six years ago there has always been an interested and talented group of students working for the good of the school as well as for aid which is received from the work in the club. The Thespian Club is the only real dramatic club in the Nor-mal School and its memblers are chosen by a committee of stu-dents and faculty advisors with the idea of having as its members those with distinct dramatic ability. This year, with Miss Sumner and Mr. Hoppe as sponsors for the club, much has heen accoml)lished in learning of the actors and plays of the day. For instance, one of our programs was on the play "Grumpy," played in New York and Boston last winter hy Cyril Maud, who has since gone into the moving pictures. Another evening was spent with Eleanor Robson andi her wonder-ful play, "The D)awn of a Tomorrow." A type of dramatic work which has been known for many years but thought little of is the p)antomnime. Miss Sumner's work here has shown us how much can be accomplished when no actual sound is made, and one of our most enjoyable programs was the one on the history of the plantomime, its p)ossibilities, and one given by a group. We have had plleasant evenings besides those in which work was done. There was the initiation for the new menimbers in Sep-tember, when the club rooils were beautifully decorated in the colors, pink and lavender, with asters in the same shades used as the flowers. Of course there were refreshinents an(d plenty of them, then as a fitting close we all gathered round the piano and sang songs, both old and new. Then came the candy pull after a program. Miss Wilson, who was elected an honorary member, was present, and it is queer how sticky some candy can be. Dr. Nash was an unexpected guest at one of our meetings and ex-pressed his approval of the work which we were doing. That was appreciated to its fullest extent, for we want every one to know just what we are doing and gaining. When the cold weather came it looked as tho our meetings would have to be postpone(d, but instead of not having a regular meeting, we had a sleigh ride. It was a cold, windy night, and 7.777. , . ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 102 ---------- even Mr. Hoppe got cold ears and feet, or just naturally frozen, for he decided to go home after a short ride thru town. However, the rest of the party enjoyed the ride to its fullest extent. With the new semester came new officers into office, and they have p)roved capable and splendid. The officers are as fol-lows: HENRY ASH MAN - - - - - - - - President K\ATHILEEN SKALLEY--- - - - Vice President ANNE LARSON ------- Secretary W I:R JoHNSON -- ---- Treasurer NAT MOUNT - ----- Sergeant-at-Arms I)ou(IAS HANBLoo - - - - Biusincss Manlaer The Thespians have been able, with the aid of the two faculty advisors, to produce three public programs or plays. The first was "The Private Secretary," under Mr. Hoppe's direction, and Iproved highly entertaining, with its queer situations, combined with a successful handling of the comedy. The others were "The Bishop's Candlesticks," a sketch taken from Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables," and "The Mishaps of Minerva." Both sketches were artistic in every detail, and the casts are to be complimented on the splendid work they did, thanks to Miss Sumner's untiring efforts. She was always ready to give inspiration and help when at times it appeared almost hopeless. The Christmas banqluet should not he forgotten, for it is well worth remembering. In the private dining room of the Leopold the tables were set iin the letter "T1" and decorated with a Christ-mas tree, shaded cand(les and pIlace cards with Christmas embl)lems on theim. New members were initiatedi in March and a jolly party was given after the program. St. Patrick's emblems were in evi-dence and the tables were beautilul in greens and pussy willows. The refreshments were some never to be forgotten. The annual banquet given the Seniors, at which all of the Alumni who can are present, was beautiful, and the toasts and speeches, not forgetting the songs, were worthy of all those Thes-pians taking part. So with a word of farewell we say, "Live Ever Thespians." 102 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 103 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Seen on the Knoll 103 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 104 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Alkisiah Club 104 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 105 ---------- Alkisiah Literary Society Rah!

Rah! good cheer to you, The Alkisiahs always Irrue, The purple and the golden hue Is for me and is for you. Alkisiahs! There is something in this name that Irieathes of culture, enjoyment and, best of all, school spirit. For certainly the club has supl)orted all activities connected with the Normal, and has grown up side by side with the school. The society was organized under the direction of Miss Ida Baker in 1906(. At present the Alkisiahs number forty-eight. Each member is pro-gressive, energetic, and feels the responsibility of mak ing the club improve with each year of its existence. Although the society is purely literary, the school is en-livened quite frequently by the Alkisiahs' social evenings. The first social affair of the year was the party given in ilonor of the new members, which was in the nature of an initiation. Another enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Leitha Fulk, where we were entertained with a Thanksgiving program, games, and later a taffy pull. The society also enjoyed a delightful Christmas program and each memlber received a mirth- provoking gift, as well as a diminu-tive Christmas stocking. The annual narcissus sale was a success in every respect and many girls' rooms were made cheery and fragrant by these flowers. The new president, Leah A. Dudgeon, took the chair at the beginning of the second semester, and Arleen C. Cusick, the for-mer president, retired after a term of faithful service. ........ '7 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 106 ---------- The first social event of the new year was the chafing dish party, at which the Alkisiahs were at home to their friends. Then came the big event of the year, the banquet in honor of the new members. This was held at the Leopold Hotel and was a success from beginning to end. After the toasts the club attended the American Theatre as the guests of the club advisor, Mliss Willoughby, to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." Another theatre party was given when the Alkisiahs went to see Mary Pickford in the role of "Cho Cho San" in Puccini's opera, "Madame Butterfly." On the evening of March 17 the club was entertained by the new membiers at a clever St. Patrick's party. The club room was gayly decorated in green. A program of Irish airs and stories was given, followed by numerous Irish stunts-even to the kiss-ing of the Blarney Stone. Dainty refreshments in green and white were served, and the new members were voted most royal enter-tainers. The work of the society, however, is not neglected. During the year each program has been instructive as well as entertain-ing. Questions of the day have been discussed and the lives and works of dramatists of several nations have been studied. Among them were Ibsen, Hauptman, Maeterlink, Rostand, Barrie, Lady Gregory and others. The Messenger reporters, Ella Anderson and Maude Carfield, have kept the Normalites aware of the fact that the Alkisiahs are up and doing, and have kept the club proceedings in I)romi-nence. As all good things must end, so must this year-one which we feel has been filled with the very best we could give it, and one which has given enjoyment, friendships and instruction in return. At the last social function of the year, a banquet in honor of the graduates and alumnae of the society, a grand reunion was held at the Hotel Leopold, before dispersing for our future work. We feel sure that the society has a great future and the Alki-siahs who go out into the world will not )e forgotten, for the say-ing, "Once an Alkisiah, always an Alkisiah," will be remembered.

In their petition to the faculty for the privilege of organizing the club they stated that their aim should be to make an intelligent study of Socialism and social p)roblems. Records show that this aim must have been kept constantly in mind throughout the year, although the lighter, gayer si(le of lie!' was not entirely neglected. The wonderful spirit of the first ycar has heen kept alive in these two succeedling years. This year \we have had lectures by members of the faculty, by ineibcrs of the student bodty, and also by men from outside of the school. The Ope()n Forum is a main feature of each program, and the discussion in this has been well directed bly our patron, D)r. Herre, and by our faculty meiim-hers, Mr. Bever, Mrs. Termat and Mr. Edson. The following is a partial list of lectures given this year: "Conditions in Europe," Dr. Herre. "Alaska Schools," Prof. Parish. "Civilization, Its Cause and Its Cure," Mrs. Ternmat. "Life in the Navy," Mr. Harlow. "Life in the Army," Mr. Russell. "Science vs. Superstition," Mr. Philippi. "Preparedness" (against), Miss Lucy Norton. "Socialism," Mr. Swartz. "Evolution" (illustrated lecture), Mr. Moodie. "Settlement Work," Miss Nickerson. "The Invincible Government," Judge Pemberton. "American Democracy," 'Mr. Minnis. "American Work in Armenia," Miss Vollmer. "Socializing Religion," Mr. Beer. For our musical programs we are indebted to Miss Liddell, Miss McCoonimbs, Olive Bowman, Olive Pearson, Miss Birney, Marion Lovejoy, Mrs. Colby, Dr. Herre and the Glee Club. Miss Alma Nyquist, Grace Salmon, D)icie Myers, Miss Conner and Mrs. Belle Norton each gave very interesting readings. We extend to the club of coming years our very best wishes, and hope their members may feel the loyalty to the cause which was shown by the first organizers and by the members of 1915-16. ... ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 110 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Philomathean Literary Society 110 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 111 ---------- CHRONICLES OF THE PHILOMIATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY In the beginning of the first week of the first month of the seventh year, there returned to the Philomathean Literary Society, a most worthy order of the Castle of Learning on the Hill of Knowledge, sixteen of its brave knights and gracious ladies who had gone forth from the gates of the castle to impart wisdom to all mankind. Now the head priestess of the order had dwelt all these years within the walls of the castle and welcomed most joy-fully these knights and ladies as they crossed the moat and laid their trophies-the fruits of their experiences-at her feet. Now according to the plrecedents of the order, from this goodly number the members selected the most fit for their leaders. Sir Herbert Heath, a gallant knight, chose they for their head, Sir Jason Nevins first attendant, Lady Celia Gibson the keepler of the coffers, Sir Frederick Klaus the defender of their honor, and Sir John Kaup the general promoter of all good things, gave they to the Head for his helpers. Within this domain were many courtiers who nought admit-tance to the various orders of the castle, and from these the Philos, according to their custom, took unto themselves the most worthy, until their number was forty. On the evening of the sixteenth day of the month of Septenm-her all the members, old and new, met in the inner shrine of the castle, where the old related the events of their wanderings and( the new expressed their gratitude and great joy at the honor shown them by their accep)tance into this most worthy order. On the evening of the second day of the month of October, a great event was celebrated, according to a custom of the Orient. The new members of the order were initiated into the mysteries and proving themselves obedient to all the commands of the ceremony, were admitted into the sanctum, where they have worked much good to the order. Much work have the Philos (done this year and great has been their reward. Four sets of officers have had training in maintainining the good of the order. Every member has had ex-perience in appearing in public in various ways. Due honor has been shown our poets and noted men. Programs have been dedi-cated to Burns, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, and Ire-land's patron saint. St. Valentine, could he have been a visitor at the leap year party, would have been amazed at the honor shown him, even as the knights were amazed at the honor shown 111 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 112 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Hays Literary Society 112 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 113 ---------- them. It came to pass that these brave knights were convinced that the ladies of the order possessed the graciousness and cour-tesy of their ancestors and in addition the courage of the new woman. The head priestess of the order, Miss Jensen by name, in addition to her untiring efforts to promote the general welfare of the order, has given at her home a series of parties long to be remembered. And yet again, not here do these chronicles end. but in the heart of every Philo will he cherished the friendships formed, will be treasured the influence of the head priestess, and will be re-membered the joy of congenial companionship. HAYS LITERARY SOCIETY As we look back upon that plhase of the work which has so largely occupied the attention of the club, it is with mingled sad-ness and regret that we see the curtain about to be drawn upon the final act of the drama. We who have thru close contact learned to know and appreciate our fellow members, shall never forget the debt we owe to each other and to her for whom our organization is named, for a large part of the success and happi-ness which has been ours. Activities opened in September with an evening at the Cabin on the Lake, where our thirty girls were welcomed by the faculty members, who had prepared a most substantial chicken dinner. This haunt of many a jolly gathering produced that night a most favorable impression upon all new members. Formal initiation ceremonies took place on October 14 in the club rooms, where the Magic Circle was formed. Though since broken by the members who left us at different times, this circle is now complete by the addition of new members, with whom we entrust in part the future of our work. At the organization meeting these officers were elected for the semester: EMILY PETERSON - ----- President MINNIE PAULSON - ----- Secretary LULAH RADLEY -- Tr-e- Oasurer RUBY ELLINGTON ----- Sergeant-at-Arms During the last semester attention was given at the regular meetings to current day topics, combined with music, readings * it 1 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 114 ---------- and "spreads." One very interesting Alaskan program was given, at which Prof. Parish spoke on "Alaskan Literature." Yet the meetings seemed few until we were gathered round the fireplace in the faculty room, which annually is the scene of our Christ-mas festivities. The tree served only a decorative purpose, since all gifts were sent to make happier one of the homes of the city. "6 On January 8 a luncheon was given at the Leopold Hotel in honor of our midyear graduates. Among the thirty-five for whom 1)lates were laid were Dr. and Mrs. Nash, the former of whom addressed the gathering. After the holidays work hegan in earnest. At the first busi-ness meeting the following officers were elected: CALISTA WASHBUIIN - ---- President JUNE IATHENY ..--- Secretary HELENA STENVIG - - - - - - - Treasurer RUBY ELLINGTON - - - - - Sergeant-a-A rms EDINA MCKINNON - ----- Reporter A detailed plan was laid out for a study of the modern drama. Cur work has been to take up the lives of writers in connection with the presentation of scenes from their plays. We have laid particular emphasis upon Maeterlinck, Ibsen, Galsworthy, Lady Gregory, and the Irish Dramatic Revival. Scenes from "The Blue- bird," "The Doll's House," and from "The Birds' Christmas Carol," as draimatized by Kate Douglas Wiggin, have been rather hastily worked up, but they have served to give pretty clear impressions of what the modern stage is trying to present to the public. Themes of such plays as Galsworthy's "Mob" and "Justice" have been given in a very interesting fashion. We only regret that the time has been all too short for a thoro study to have been made of this most fascinating subject. But we hope that future mem- bers of the H. L. S. will continue in some of the plans which we have merely begun. Unanimously we give to Miss Hays the credit for anything of value which we have been able to acconmplish. She has been un-tiring in her efforts to give us the very best in every line of work with which we have dealt, and the inspiration of her personality shall have counted for much after all immediate ties will have been broken. To our successors we leave the splendid opportunity for the molding of friendships which shall be strong and lasting, and an earnest desire for their success.

There was one organization ready to work the very first day school opened in September; not only ready but enthusiastic and eager to be at work. What was this organization? What was its work? Do you remlemiber how lost you felt in trying to find your class rooms and teachers? Do you remember the girls who gladly showed you the way? Yes, they belonged to the Y. W. C. A. The association work began that first day and has been going on throughout the entire year. Our first devotional meet-ing was held Sunday afternoon, September 12, in the Association room. Miss Sands led and gave a beautiful message to all the girls present. A lovely reception was held soon after the opening of school, to which all the Normal students were invited. The meetings this year have been exceptionally good, so in-spiring and full of hell). At our first meeting in October we were fortunate in having with us Miss Mary Baxter, a missionary from China, who was in this country on furlough and has since re-turned to her work in China. We have received many interest-ing letters from her telling of her work there. October 21st, Miss Griffith, secretary of girls' work in New York City, was with us and spoke to us on the subject of "Leadership." From November 15th to 19th, in harmony with other associa-tions, we observed the "World's W\\eek of Prayer." A different country was taken each day as a subject for thought and prayer. On Tuesday, November 23rd, we held our Thanksgiving meeting. Georgina Sharples led and Miss Sands brought to us a beautiful message in song. The meeting was helpful to all be-cause all had so many things to be thankful for. "It was truly good to have been there." December 16th we held our Christmas meeting in the audi-torium, and Mrs. McAbee from Seattle brought us the message, taking as her subject "The Guiding Star." We had a true Christ-mas message to take home with us during vacation, and we hope that He may be the Guiding Star in the life of each Y. W. girl. January 13th Miss Hopkins, general students' secretary of the Northwest, was with us and told us of the jubilee and what the association is doing in other places. 777 - 777 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 116 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Young Women's Christian Association Cabinet 116 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 117 ---------- We have been having many speakers from out of town with us this year, and again on January 27th Mr. Holding, a missionary !: from China. His topic was "Be Willing to Take the Last Step," and was full of interest and thought. Our Jubilee meetings began February 10th and lasted until March 2nd. Miss Fox was with us part of the meetings and also Miss Schram, an out of town Y. W. worker. Our Bible Institute was unusually good this year. We have also in our association a Student Volunteer Band which has been ihaving good nieetings each Sunday, afternoon. We have also in our association a Student Volunteer Band which has been having good meetings each Sunday afternoon. This year, too, they have been sending out deputations to the different young people's societies of the city. There are also mission study classes and Bible study classes with a very large enrollment. We have in addition to the work already mentioned a cafe-teria which is doing practical work to many of the school.

That it has been successful is fully substantiated by considering the work it has done for the welfare of the student. Under Mr. Jones and Mr. Heath's guidance (luring the school terms of 1915 the association builded a firm foundation. In the latter part of Mr. Heath's term as president we had one notal)le social event, a stag mixer, and it certainly was a "mixer." The employment bureau was active during this period and achieve(l some practical results. It, however, has been left to our present regime, in which Mr. Kirby Smith has been the leader, that our efforts have been crowned with more than success. In the opening month of the year (January) we p)articipated in an enjoyable social event with the members of the Y. W. C. A. Beginning January 20th a membership campaign was insti-tuted with Mr. W. Johnson, Mr. S. Carlton and Mr. Hubbard as leaders. The campaign and its corresponding result is one of the landmarks of our history. The material increase of our member-ship was not the only aspect of the campaign, for the spirit inani-fested throughout that busy time foretells a progressive associa- K,:: tion. This memorable campaign culminated in sending seven members to the college Y. M. C. A.'s conference, which was held in Seattle on February 11, 12 and 13. The most practical work we have done during the present semester has been through our employment bureau, of which Mr. H. Berg is the chairman. Upon Mr. Berg's suggestion the association carried out an extensive advcrtisng campaign fo, the purpose of soliciting employment. The result was gratifying, for many students were given enmlloymient. It does not take a seer to point out the destiny of our associa-tion. The bygone days tell their story and the eyes of faith and hope can see visions which make the heart of the Christian rejoice.

Miss Rhodes and Miss Beardsley kindly consented to act as sponsors of such a club, alnd a ineeting of all those interested in art was called. Quite a number responded and a club was organized, with Winnifred Wadsworth, president; Harriet Standke, vice presi-dent; Virginia Fox, secretaly, and l)oris Compton, treasurer. Anyone interested could join, and members of the faculty were taken in as associate members. The object of the club was to study the works of the great masters, foster a spirit of art alpplreciation in the school, and to give a chance for practical work from life to those who had a special talent for sketching. The club was then divided into two sections. one, the appre-ciation section, devoted entirely to the study of works of art, and the other, the sketching section, giving its time to sketching only. These sections meet twice each month and take up their regular lines of work. Under the guidance of Miss Beardsley, the appreciation sec-tion has taken up the study of the Renaissance of art in Italy. Giotto, Ghiberti, Della Robbia, I)onatello, Fra Angelico, Andrea Del Sarto, Botticelli, Fra Bartolomnea, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo and others have been studied. Through the use of the lantern, copies of the masterpieces have been thrown onto the screen where all could see and enjoy them. The significance of the pictures, the lines and work of the masters, conditions under which they worked, and the p)rincil)les of art known at the time were then discussed by club members. This has been a very interesting diversion, and now that we understand those old masters we have learned to love them. During this time the sketching section has not been idle. Twice each month they have met and sketched from models. This work has been entirely a new field for many of the club members, and under the guidance and inspiration of Miss Rhodes, has proved to be intensely interesting. A variety of characters have been sketched; Mary Kean, as an immigrant; Mr. Leniach in his engineer's clothes; Stella Lovejoy as an Italian peasant; Ruby Colbert as a Turkish woman; Hazel Dickson as Martha Washing- :7 u ~ ~ 7;:-N~ 4 ZC gt;--. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 122 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Alethia Club 122 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 123 ---------- ~ .. ,::: :'Z ~1 I .. i': 4: .

When the weather became pleasant during the spring the model was posed out of doors and the land-scape sketched in as well. The social side has not been neglected either, for at different times throughout the year joint meetings have been held. The most memorable of these were the cafeteria lunch, the trip to Miss Hay's cabin and the times Miss Rhodes and Miss Stephen entertained at their respective homes. One privilege of the club was to give an exhibit of outside work during the year. The club began these exhibits in a modest way just before Christmas by holding an exhibit in the faculty room of the prints of Carl Larsson, the well known Swedish painter of home life. Mr. Larsson had become familiar to many members ol the school by his fine exhibit at the San Francisco exposition. Our exhibit was visited by students, faculty and towns folk and much enjoyed by all.

Our aim has been to promote further interest in literary work, and we feel justified in saying that we have reached the desired end. In the first day of October we met together for the first time .; to order. A constitution was drawn up and signed. The name Aletheia was given to the club, meaning "Truth." A worthy set of officers were elected to launch the new organization. We opened the new club expectant of many enjoyable times, but when, on December 9, Mr. Hunt, our sponsor, announced his intention of leaving to do work in the High School, we felt our-selves lost. Happily we found in the faculty a new member, Mr. Parish, whom we have learned to love and who has served as a sponsor with brilliant success. Who will forget the Christmas tree on December 16, loaded with presents for every member? The Christmas songs by Mr. Parish rang in our ears long after we had departed and gone to our respective homes. On the evening of January 20 the domestic science room was the scene of a pretty banquet in honor of our departing midyear graduates, Miss Bertha Vol Nagel and Miss Florence Chapin. Dr. and Mrs. Nash and Mr. Chapin were our guests of honor. The room was beautifully decorated in red and white, the club colors, and many interesting toasts followed. We all enjoyed our evening with "Daddy" Parish when he took us on a trip to learn something about sunny Italy, conducted personally by Dr. Nash. On returning we were all served with bread and milk, all day suckers, then sent home. We found that our society contained expert debaters, readers and musicians, so we gathered at a track meet to learn something about their lung capacity, fleetness of foot, appetite and strength. It was too bad the athletic season was so near at an end or we could have shown more of our great strength. I must not forget to mention the fact that we also have capable lawyers in our midst. Helen Eagan and Ed Rairdon made the mock court trial of the case Mattson vs. Holbrook a very ex-citing one. We meet together every other Thursday evening, and so much has happened it would take a great deal of room to tell it all. St. Patrick's day must be remembered. Roll call was an-swered by Irish jokes and a typical Irish program, followed by debate and games. CHRISTINE MATTSON, Reporter. L. ll ' .

It is just the jolliest, most happy-go-lucky bunch of girls you ever met, without a single misunderstanding for a whole school year except for the time when a certain young man made the serious mistake of inviting two of the girls to an entertain-ment. Then such tears and such haughty looks that fairly froze the blood of the sympathetic onlookers as there was at the Y. W. C. A. for a few days! But like all thunderstorms, the trouble soon blew over and was forgotten. Only, for the benefit of the few young men who may read these lines, take heed and profit by this sad tale and when calling at the Y. W. C. A., either bring another young man with you (which is by far more prelerable), or only invite one young lady at a time. You would like to meet the girls? Why, that is the easiest thing in the world. Just put on your jolliest smile and I will introduce them. The young lady who comes walking rapidly toward us is none other than Gertrude McMahan, president of the Students' Association and the roommate of Mary Jane Bestor, the Y. W. C. A.'s sure cure for the blues, in other words, happiness. I believe Miss Mary Jane was at one time president of the Seattle Club but has tried to conceal the fact by being the joke editor of the Klipsun. That girl who is the center of so much hilarity is Miss Cassie Cales, loved by all the girls. She was formerly manager of the Normal cafeteria and now is president of that of the Y. W. C. A. The quiet young lady who is vainly trying to restrain Miss Cales is Frances Bonell, our literary critic of whom we are so proud. Helen Peterson, whose laugh we hear above the talking. is the "Cunning Infant" who took English VIlId under Miss \oll-mer, and now is patiently toiling to win a button in Palmer Methods. The demure little girl who is observing the fun? That is Sara Lopp, or as we love to call her, "Our Sally." Good things come in small packages, for Sally is president of the Sourdough Club and a member of the Normal Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. What's that? You heard someone call "Merry Christmas!" No, they are not crazy from the warm May weather, they were D. . ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 126 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Girls at City Y.W.C.A. 126 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 127 ---------- merely calling Miss Merry Christmas I)ay, who once in a great while entertains us with her singing. Her roommate, Miss Ruth Galber, our noted authority on forestry and the associate editor of the Klipsun, spent a very ex-citing half hour one evening while Dr. Kirkpatrick was calling on Merry, sick with La Grippe. It so happened it was swimming night at the house and Ruth foolishly dallied too long in getting ready. As the doctor came unexpectedly Ruth was ol)liged to patiently and quietly wait in the clothes closet till he left. You would like to meet the young lady with the big brown eyes, you say. That is Miss Dorothy Gatton our taleiited artist. Nor are we lacking in brilliant stu(lents. There is Norma Bardon, whose ability to recite is a source of leasure to all; Ade-laide Mitchell, our "geometrical genius," who patiently toils to prove "things equal to the same thing are eqlUal to each other"; Gladys White, who quotes psychology by the hour and is striving to find the Missing Link in the theory of evolution, and Mary Trunkey, who has written an invaluable book on the sublject, "Mrs. Samson's Ideas on Teaching Geography." Yes, indeed, the parlor is often used in the evening. Miss Frances McCorkle esp)ecially, tacks the busy sign on the door quite frequently. One of our girls most important to the Normal students is Mary Chapin who, five days a week, suplies food for the inner nman. Are you interested in fancy work? If so consult Hilda Rein-seth for patterns in crocheting. I)o not be alarmed. That strange shriek you just heard w as only Agnes Laufman practicing her vocal lesson. That was her faithful chum who just came in, Harriet Abercrombie, whom we all believe will some lay become the second Mrs. Termaat. Dame Fashion is represented in the Y. 1V. C. A. as well as the Arts and Sciences. Miss Elsie Day is our best authority on the styles of 1917. With the New Year came a new mai(I into our house, Marie Strickler, who was fortunate enough to know a member of the Wenatchee bashethall team when it was here. Of course we were not jealous! But the New Year also took from us two of our old friends, Solway Kanekkeberg, Senoir Class replresentative, anid lalle Hauge, both of whom have been misse(1 by all the girls.

First Quarter Pres. Second Quarter I'res. Third Quarter Pres. IFourth Quarter Rural Life Club For some time previous to 1915 the school had felt the need of a new organization, one that should be exclusive and that should train its members to perform the social work of rural com-munities. It was to meet these needs that the Rural Life Club was organized early in the year with Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse as sponsors for the new organization. Mr. Bond was chosen as the third member by the unanimous vote of the club. Whatever successes the club may have attained have been due in no small measure to the generous work of our faculty members. The club is inclusive, having one hundred twenty members. These meet in three separate groups for study and practice under the direction of our sponsors. Our club prides itself on being democratic. New officers are elected each quarter and new group officers at each meeting in order to give actual practice to the greatest number possible. Meetings are held twice each month. The first hour of the evening is spent in work and the second in literary programs, with all imembners present. At these programs we have enjoyed excellent talks by Dr. Nash, Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond and Miss Everett. With our work we do not forget the social side. The frolics in the big gymnasium, with music, games and refreshments are one of the club's special features. We feel that we can say without boasting that our club is fulfilling its purpose, due to the excellent spirit among its mem- L bhers and to our most excellent sponsors. 129 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 130 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Industrial Club 130 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 131 ---------- Industrial Club The tremulous battery, Earth, Responds to the touch of man; It thrills to the Antipodes, From Boston to Japan. ----EMERSON. The Industrial Club was organized and adopted its constitu-tion in early October, 1915. The members of this organization have striven to live up to its purpose, which is "the promotion of efficiency of its members, and the extension of interest in the industrial education in the state of Washington." The most interesting phase of our club work has been that of excursions. These excursions have consisted of trips to indus-trial centers in and about Bellingham. In the fall we visited D)onovan's Lumber Mill, the Pacific Steam Laundry and the Bellingham Ice Plant. We visited the Royal Dairy Model Farm and the cement plant this spring. Another interesting feature has been deImonstrations and talks. These have been given by: Dr. Newbill-"Cold Pack Canning Process." Mrs. Jones-"Rural School Achievement Clubs." Dr. Herre-"Vocalional Guidance." Prof. Shaw, of Minnesota-"Agricultural Possibilities in Washington." Dr. Nash-"Personal Experiences in the Musical World of Germany." Now for our parties and general good times: January 27-New members were initiated into the mysteri's of our club. After the serious side of things came the "stunts," enjoyed at the new members' expense. After the little sup-per, served by Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, we sang and finished the evening's entertainment in merry style. January 29-An unusual experience in Washington was en-joyed by the club in the form of a sleigh ride. Only those who have had such an experience can conceive of the thrilling joys of that afternoon in the big bob-sled. Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby, as our chaperones, enjoyed it with us. We will not forget the St. Patrick's day party, held on March 16, for many moons. It was, in truth, an Irish party. Our club extends thanks to those who, though not members, ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 132 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 College Club 132 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 133 ---------- helped us in our musical programs. Prof. Parish and Mr. Glo-man did much toward the enjoyment of these programs, and Miss Lovejoy entertained us with readings. The efforts of those connected with the club are much ap-preciated. Miss Ormsby and Mr. Scudder have helped us in more ways than we can mention. Miss McCown and Mr. Chute, honor-ary members, have been especially energetic and helpful. Various committees, and others in the club who have aided in making our organization a success, deserve a vote of thanks. CLIB OFFICERS THOMAS ScASETH --- -- -President MR. D.

DUNAGAN - Chairman Social Commnillee LuCILE PEARSON ----- - Reporter College Club Notes The College Club was organized early in the school year for social purposes, the only requirement for membership being that each should have attended college for at least one semester. Sev-eral schools are represented in the membership, our own state university suplplying by far the greatest numlber. Washington State College, Whitworth, the University of Oregon, 0. A. C., the University of Montana, Willamette University, Cornell, Pratt In-stitute and Pacific University are also represented. Miss Sumner was chosen for faculty member by the club. Mr. Bond has also been one of our most enthusiastic and earnest boosters. A banquet was held at the Leopold Hotel soon after the for-mation of the club. Soon after this Miss Marion Lane entertained the members at her home on Eldridge avenue. Mr. Gloman only recently held open house for us. One of the most enjoyable events in the student activities of the year was the College Capers, which was held on Saturday evening, April 1st, with over one hundred invited guests in attend-ance. Extensive preparations had been made for making this one of the most lively and care-dispelling affairs, especially since it was scheduled for All-Fools' day. There were side shows, free ___ _ - ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 134 ---------- throws at the renowned "dodger," "teeters" for young and those not so young. One of the best fun- producers was the "slide," which was placed at the entrance of the large training school gymnasium, where the festivities were held. This completely filled the door-w ay and served as the only means of admittance. It was great fun watching the faculty members, and especially did Mrs. Thatcher bring forth applause from the onlookers. At the bottom of the slide "jitneys" met the guests and trans-ported them to various p)arts of the premises, to the side shows, cozy corners and other places of interest. In the program of the evening the "Big Four" quartet of the faculty were represented lby members of the club. The crowd was entertained more by the peculiar "make-ups" than by the music which was dispensed. Andrew Shold and Thomas Scarseth put on a Swedish dialect sketch, and those present heartily enjoyed the scene, which cen-tered about the question as to which was the better elocutionist. The chief number on the program was the "Village School," as portrayed by memlbers of the Normal faculty. Miss Norton assumed the responsible position of schoolmistress and Prof. Bever was the visiting member of the "hoard." Mr. Bond in Buster Brown attire, Prof. Phillipi with towseled hair, and Dr. Deerwester as the "teacher's pet," was certainly irresistible. Mrs. Terniaat and the "Twins" played their parts to perfection. The spelling match and program occupied the principal part of the school work, and they drew generous applause from all. We know now that our staid and dignified faculty members can chew gum, pull hair and do other stunts commonly found in the village schoolroom (not in the training school). The Ukulele Club furnished music throughout the evening and was the center of attraction for much of the time. After "weenie" sandwiches had been carefully stored away, the final act of the evening's comedy took place. This was in the nature of a flashlight picture, with the "Village School" occupying a prominent position in the foreground. A "bug hike" to Whatcom Falls was indulged in by the club the second week in April. Each one carried his own "bug," which supplied light whenever light was needed. At the Falls weenies Sw ere roasted and eaten to the rhythm of ghost stories, weird and awful. At the close of the evening's pleasures several returned home afoot, the remainder taking the car in preference. 134 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 135 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Glee Club Front row, left to right: Frank Bowen, Mrs. Thatcher (director), Paul Holbrook, Prof. W.

Under the able leadership of Mrs. Thatcher we were able to give several selections before the assembly and before a combined meeting of the Rural Life Club and the Social-Democratic Club. Early in November we journeyed to Marietta, where we fur-nished the program for a basket social. The trip was especially enjoyed because of the fact that the stage that Mr. Parish rode in broke down and had to be towed in by the other stage. Since the first of the year we have been practicing hard on the comic opera "Mikado," which was given April 28, 1916. This was staged jointly by the Girls' Choral Club and the Boys' Glee Club, and it goes without saying that the play was a success. Choral Club 'The Choral Club, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, repre-sents one of the most enthusiastic and helpful organizations of the school. The membership is larger than ever before. The past year has been a pleasant and profitable one for each and every member. The scheme of having a program of two or three numbers at the weekly meetings has been successfully carried out and some exceptionally good talent has been discovered among the members. S Early in January the club rendered two selections in honor of the county superintendents, and January 21 gave an excellent number at the commencement exercises. The best work of the club has been done on the oratorio, "The Messiah," and the opera "The Mikado." The training in this work has been of very great value. The officers of the club are as follows: STELLA GOYNE -- ---- President LOUISE BUCHANAN -. --- Vice President MARION LOVEJOY - - - - Secretary-Treasurer 136 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 137 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Choral Club 137 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 138 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Sourdough Club 138 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 139 ---------- Sourdough Club Some eighteen or more students from various parts of Alaska who attended the 1915 Summer School session decided to hand together and form a club. A lively clubl was soon organized, pur-posing to welcome all new 'Alaskan students; ait( and( assist new teachers blound for Alaska; to interest and acq(uaint other people with the true life and beauty of the Northland. School work was very pressing, as all Normalites know, but nevertheless we found time for some jolly social gatherings, beach parties and hikes for Sehome. The officers and members for the summer term were: Hanson Berg, Chief; Sara Lopp, Keeper of Nuggets; Marie Thonmesen, Tra(dition Carver. Ruth Hall, lKetchikan; Mrs. Tupper, Fairbanks; Gertrude Wylbrant, Metlakahtla; Elizabeth Boyle, Juneau; Agnes l)anford, Metlakahtla; Clara l)errick, Hydaherg; Abbie Crepeau, Skagway; Miss Moss, Douglas; Ida (rosse; June Matheny, Bert Harlowv, Miss Maude Drake, Miss Turney, Emmnnia Jackson, l)r. Nash, honorary membler, Miss M. Z. Wilson. Shortly after the ol)ening of the fall term of school the fol-lowing officers were elected and new imemlhers p)resented for mem-bership: Bert Harlow, Chief; Sara Loppl, Keeper of Nuggets and Tradition Carver. We were glad to receive many new imemibers, both from the faculty and student body. Greetings of the club were extended to the following good and tried Sourdoughs: Mr. Parish, of the faculty; Mr. Rindall, of the faculty; Miss Ethel Brown, of the faculty; Miss Nellie Lee, of the faculty; Caro- line Kelsie, Valdez, Alaska; Nonna Petellin, Afognak, Alaska; Helmi Aalto, Douglas, Alaska; John Estes, Nome, Alaska; Andrew Teweit, Southeastern Alaska; Bert Ward, Southeastern Alaska; Lulu Dieckoff, Truman Parish. Other members returning for school work were Sara Lopp), Ida Grosse, Bert Harlow, Emma Jackson, June Matheny, Hanson Berg. We were sorry to lose Miss Jackson and Miss Grosse from our number, but they happily completed their work earlier than we and mushed to other scenes. The officers that will greet members of the summer school are: Sara Lopp, Chief; Helmni Aalto, Carver of Traditions; June Matheny, Keeper of Nuggets. 139 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 140 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Hesperian Club 140 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 141 ---------- The Hesperian Literary Society MOTTO-"A nbilion and Spirit Mean Success."

HUNT - - - - Faculty Advisor GIRTRUDE KAUFMAN -. ----- Editor We, the Hesperians, first appeared in our amoeba state as the Swastika and Delphian societies; then we grew to the state of real life; and now we have reached that highest state of advance, namely, the Hesperians. Through all these stages we have exhibited remarkable pre-cocity and wisdom. Even our respected opponents, the Klohoy-ans, acknowledge us the leading literary society in school, do they not? (They do not). Which is to be sus - excuse me-expected. Our programs, as well as we ourselves, have been good. I mean it. We have musicked, read, recited, sung and debated. We have pondered and considered questions all the way from "whether Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' is considered one of the great-est plays," to "which came first, the egg or the chicken?" There is nothing too great for us to handle, nothing too small for us to talk about. Our discussions or del)ates have been particularly good, for in our assembled midst we have bright heads. The average at least is particularly good, for some make up in brilliancy for the deficiency in others. Those who had talent exhibited it. Those who did not bluffed it through gloriously. In our school monthly we have kept you posted as to what we were doing, so for a more extensive report you may look there. Just one word more, and to the other organizations of the Washington State Normal School: We are doing very well, and hope you are the same. We've made our mark and hope you have made yours.

This fragment from a poem by Thomas Hood (you see. we take it for granted that you don't know who wrote it), echoes the writer's sentiments at just this moment. But of course writing about such a jolly "bunch" as the Klohoyas is not (?) work. We were organized last fall and consist of about half the pupils in the High School-the part chosen by Arthur C. Craw-shaw, president of one of the former societies. You see, there were two societies, the Delphian Girls and the Swastika Boys. There seemed to be an utter lack of spirit and enthusiasm, so by a unanimous vote of the student body they were dissolved and two new ones formed. The two plresidents chose alternately a boy and a girl until the list was finished. We are the ones who meet in the study hall every Thursday. Now that you know something of our history, we shall proceed to tell you something about our members. Our president, Kenneth Selby, is also president of the Junior class. Our vice president, Herbert Yorkston, is yell leader of the High School. Our secretary-treasurer, Helen Maxwell, is one of the most popular girls in school. The editor, Marguerite Brotnov, is secretary of the Senior class. Miss Rowen, our helpful faculty advisor, is known and loved by all. Besides that, every member of the orchestra, save one, is a member of the Klohoya. We have had some very interesting and splendid programs, for which we thank the program committee, Arthur Crawshaw, chairman, Eva Bond, and Dorothy Swartz. There is usually a musical number which is always appre-ciated to the fullest extent. We have also had some very comic readings. Ask Herbert Yorkston if you want to know more about that. We have also had debates anti papers that were well pre-pared and thoroughly interesting. Then you must know, we have student critics. They are ap-pointed by the president to judge the programs, and always give a speech (?) at the end of the program criticizing the numbers. Sometimes impromptu speeches are asked for. Quite a number of good ones have been given on subjects as "Prisons in Philippines," "Beauties of Colorado," "Printing at the Shop," "Mechanical I)raw-ing," "Tariff on Peanuts,' "Nothing," and "Preparedness." 143 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 144 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Tacoma Club 144 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 145 ---------- Tacoma Club The Tacoma Club was organized during the early part of the school year for the purpose of fostering and plronoting social intercourse among the students at Normal who have lived( or at-tended school in Tacoma. The club boasts a melmbership of forty-five energetic, en-thusiastic, talented, in a word, true blue children of Tacomia, and among whom are not only former leaders of the Tacoma high schools but persons who are prominent in the activities of our old Bellingham Normal. As I look down the list of members I see that some among us are presidents and officers of other societies in the school; some have made the tears flow and the throat ache with our stage ability; others have delighted assemblies and clubs with our musi-cal talent. Of course there are the social stars, while not a few have been merely brilliant. Moreover, we assure you that your love of mere personal beauty may be satisfied. Mr. Walter Johnson has ably served as plresident of this worthy body. The other officers are: HELEN EAGAN ---- Vice President LUCIL.LE PEARSON - - - - Secreary-Treasurer LEONE BAKER - - - Chairma n Social Continillee MARY DODGE - - - Chairmian Program Commillee CLYDE DAVIDSON - - - Sergeant-at-Arnms FRANCES REEDY - - Messenger Reporter Miss LEE AND Miss DAvIS - - - - - Sponsors The Tacoma organizations of the past have been of a tempo-rary nature, but a movement is now on to make this a perma-nent institution. The best wishes of the club are extended to the future members and may even greater success attend them. 7, ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 146 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Miss Lucy S.

A. affairs for this year consisted of an enjoyable ex-cursion to East Sound May, 1915; the Student Mixer in September, n.' at which the students divided into state groups, performed various and original stunts, and were served to ice cream in the domestic science rooms; a Christmas party, which sent everyone home for the holidays with a heart full of cheer and good will toward the Normal School at Bellingham, and as a final, the Chuckanut Marathon, a hike which is coming to be an annual affair, participated in by all four classes. The past year has brought forth great success for both boys and girls in athletics. We are proud to own the best football team in the history of the school and a most successful season of basketball for both boys and girls. All athletics have had the hearty and enthusiastic support of the students and faculty, shown by attendance upon games, parades and rousing assem-blies held in celebration of both defeats and victories-and we are proud to say in the majority, victories. And so we bid farewell to a happy and prosperous year and wish the same, or even better, for the coming year. STUDENT MIXER The first social event of the year was the annual student mixer, held in the auditorium Friday evening, September 10. The entire student body was divided into groups which were: The Foreigners, Southern States, Thirteen Original Colonies, North Central States, Plateau States, Great Lake States, Pacific Coast States, United States Possessions, and State of Washington. Each group performed a stunt typifying the states represented. All were very original and showed a great deal of interest and enthu-siasm. Many a person won a name for himself which will last as long as he remain at B. S. N. S., and probably will go with him into his work. Before the stunts the following program was given: "A Word of Greeting to the New Students and New Members of the Faculty" - - - - - - Miss Hays "A Greeting to Everyone From an Old Student" - Ruth Conner Reading from Kipling - - - - - - Mr. Hoppe Vocal Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Deerwester Vocal Solo - - - - - - - Mrs. Thatcher 156 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 157 ---------- After the program all went to the large new gymnasium for an hour of games and to become better acquainted. Ice cream and wafers were served in the dining room and the happy evening closed with everyone feeling better acquainted than before. PHILOIMA THEAN BIRTHDAY PARTY The sixth annual birthday party of the Philomathean Liter-ary Society was held in the club room Saturday evening, Novem- her 20, 1915. The room was beautifully decorated in the Philo colors, green and white. The first part of the evening was spent in games. Later refreshments were serve(l, the feature of this being a huge birthday cake decorated with six green candles and containing many symbols in the form of rings, thimbles and pen-nies. Miss Josephine Male acted as toastmistress, carrying out the part with much credit. Since this was the beginning of the seventh year of Philo existence, Shakespeare's seven ages of man were used as a foundation, with each age a year in the life of the society. Each year was represented by a member who joined the society that year. Miss Reichert recited the experience during babyhood of the society. Miss Scott, who was to tell of the boy-hood, was unfortunately unable to attend. Then came the lover, represented by Miss Devereaux; the soldier, by Miss Kannekkberg, and the justice by Mr. Klaus. Mr. Hougen cleverly gave the old man in an original poem. The toastmistress pointed out that hav-ing arrived at the seventh age, we deviate from Shakespeare in being not at the end of our usefulness, but stronger and more active as the years go by. Miss Reedy and Miss Vogel gave several vocal solos which added greatly to the program. Many old members of former years attended the celebration. Dr. Nash was called upon and proclaimed himself a Philomatheanii of thirty years' standing. Mr. Philippi contributed a few reminis-cences, and the toastmistress read a greeting received from the Philos of Chehalis county. The singing of the Philo song brought the evening to a close. Y. W. C. A. BANQUET One of the most beautiful and elaborate social functions held during the year was the Y. W. C. A. membership banquet, given at Eden's Hall, December 4, at 7:30. The dining room was beau- ... - ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 158 ---------- tifully decorated in chrysanthemums and ivy. A large bouquet of these flowers graced each table, the effect being enhanced by soft shaded candles, which afforded the only source of light. The guests were led into the dining room by Miss Pierce and Dr. Nash, while the Victrola played softly. When all had found their places Dr. Nash returned thanks and the following delicious supper was served: Y. W. C. A. Salad, Golden Dressing Chicken en Coquille. Delmonico Potatoes Macedoine of Vegetable Glace Harvard Bleedingheart Rolls Olives Jelly Strawberry Ice Cream. Cake.

THESPIAN MID- YEAR BANQUET The midyear Thespian banquet was given at the Leopold Hotel December 16, and was a decided success. The Christmas idea was carried thrcughout in an attractive way. A brightly deco- rated Christmas tree occupied the center of the table and shaded candles cast a ruddy glow over the room. Sprigs of holly were scattered here and there over the table, adding much to the deco-rations. Dainty place cards completed the Christmas effect. 158 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 159 ---------- Mr. Henry Ashman acted as toastmaster and proved himself to be well fitted for the occasion. The toasts were all given in a very pleasing and striking manner.

TEA AT EDEN'S HALL FOR MID-YEAR'S One of the affairs in honor of the mid-year graduating class was an afternoon tea given by Miss Hays, in the parlor at Eden's Hall, Friday afternoon, January 7th, from 3 until 5. The room was decorated in harmony with the season and presented a pleasing appearance. An informal program was given, entirely musical in character, consisting of solos by Mesdames Thatcher, Hoppe, Colby and Prof. Parish. The faculty and wives were present mingling with the young people in a delightful way. Mrs. Philippi and Miss Sumner presided over the tea table. In every way the afternoon' was spent enjoyably. MID-YEAR RECEPTION Monday evening, January 17, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash enter-tained in a charming way with a musicale in the Normal auditor-ium. The guests numbered about four hundred, including the mid-year Seniors, the Faculty and their wives, and the immediate friends of Dr. and Mrs. Nash. The guests were met at the door by the host and hostess and then ushered to the auditorium by young men of the Normal. The auditorium and two adjoining rooms were tastefully decorated with potted ferns and baskets of scarlet carnations. A very pleasing program was rendered. Mme. Hesse- Sprotte, appearing as a soloist. was charming and repeatedly en-cored. Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee gave a finished ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 160 ---------- interpretation of the overture "Rosamunde," by Schubert, and Mrs. Cross delighted the audience with two piano solos which were heartily encored. Mr. J. Werner Hoppe, of the Cheney State Nor-mal, read "Prince Chap" very effectively, holding hrs audience spellbound to the last. The program was as follows: Overture to "Rosamunde" - - - Schubert Mrs. Larrabee and Mrs. Cross. (a) "Ah, Mein Sohn," aira from "The Prophet" - - - - - - - - - G.

The young men who acted as ushers were Mr. New-ton McCoy, Mr. Gerald Van Horn, Mr. Kirby Smith, Mr. Delbert Hennes, Mr. Douglas Hanbloom, Mr. Frank Hubbard, Mr. Henry Ashman, Mr. Walter Johnson and Mr. Nat Mount. ALKISIAH BANQUET One of the pretty affairs of the second semester was the Alki-siah banquet, held in the large dining room of the Leopold Hotel, Thursday evening, February 17. The banquet was given in honor of the new members of the second semester. About forty were in 160 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 161 ---------- attendance. The tables were arranged to form a huge "A" and a valentine scheme was carried out in decoration. Soft, red shaded candles lent a pleasing touch to the covers. Vases of pussy wil-lows and cherry blossoms gave an added charm. The place cards were decorated with bashful little Kewpies, each card containing a bar of music made of heart-shaped notes. After a sumptous six-course dinner, Mrs. Bessie Albert acted as toastmistress and the following were given in verse: "To the New Members" - - Leah Dudgeon Response Bernice Ely "The Faculty" - - - Maude Carfield Response - - - - - - Miss Willoughby "The Club" - - - - - - Miss Gray After the banquet the club was the guest of Miss Willoughby at the American Theater to see Cyril Maude in "Peer Gynt." The evening was a most enjoyable one, long to be remembered by all. SENIOR RECEPTION The Seniors, Faculty and wives were on their best behavior Saturday evening, April 29, 1916. The annual faculty reception to Seniors was held at that time at the Aftermath club house. Seniors are capable of doing almost anything, from acting a "kid" to the most dignified school teacher, the latter being the case on this par-ticular evening. Gold and green being the class colors, daffodils and greens of all descriptions were used as decorations. The room was aglow with the bright yellow flowers i)artly hidden among the greens. A very delightful and pleasing program was given, consisting of a violin solo by iMmDe.a venport Engberg, piano solo by Mrs. Irving J. Cross, vocal solos by Mesdames Nash, Deerwester and Mr. Harrison T. Raymond, and a reading by Miss Abby H. Sumner. After the program light refreshments were served. The re-mainder of the evening was spent in a social way and in becoming better acquainted before the time came to part. 161 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 162 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 JUST SENIORS 162 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 163 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Drama - Music 163 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 164 ---------- 'PRIVATE SECRETARY" CAST Hanbloom, Mount, Brown, Miller, Sonner.

In spite of criticism that "The Messiah" was too difficult to lie undertaken by an amateur chorus, it was plronounced a splen-did success and one of the biggest musical treats ever given by the. Normal. Moreover, the training and inspiration received ]by everyone who had the privilege of singing this masterful Christ-unas music cannot he overestimated.

The talent in the cast was decidedly unusual and coupled with the excellent coaching of Miss Abby Sumner, of the Expres-sion department, it made the play, as many agree(d, the finest amateur production ever given at the Normal. The play itself was difficult, taking some of its characters through three generations.

Mrs. Colby, as Katisha, charmed her audience with some beautiful solos, besides being most amusing with her fascinating left shoulder blade and her right elbow, which people came miles to see. One of the best known songs in the opera is the trio, "Three Little Maids From School." Frances Reedy was a most coquettish Yum-Yum, and her two sisters (Marion Lovejoy and Louise Buchanan) were both breezy and Jap-a-nees-y. 170 "THE MIKADO" This picturesque little two- act Japanese drama was given in a creditable manner by the Choral and Glee Clubs April 28. The following had leading roles: The Mikado of Japan -- --- Mr. Parish Nanki-Poo, his son, disguised as a wandering minstrel, ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 171 ---------- A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Working in accord with the Drama League of America, which is giving a series of collegiate festivals in honor of Shakespeare's centennial, the Senior Class voted to stage "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for their annual play. This comedy seems particularly appropriate, as it is especi-ally adapted to the time of the year and portrays the revelation of Shakespeare in one of his happiest moods, with its accompani-ment of fairy revels.

At what dizzy height was I Above a world of radiant things- On a cloud that sailed the sky? A ship of pearl--its helmsman, I On a blue sea splashed with foam; The earth grew dim, we passed it by, Thru strange, new worlds to roam. Oh, ship of which the poets sing- My gypsy cloud-and they call you "Spring." I rushed thru meadows of rolling green, My feet seemed shod with life, My soul made answer to things unseen- As my heart to the stray wind's lyre. I drank of the beauty of sunlit towers, Of the cool of whispering streams; And, stooping, I filled my arms with flowers, Just wakened from dewy dreams. Oh, flower of which the poets sing-- My daisy face--and they call you "Spring." I climbed to the top of a moss-grown tower, With the musty soul of years, To view from its ruin the day's last hour- And the heavens it shot with spears. Thru the frail rose-dusk-day's afterglow, Stealing thru silence, like sparkles of light, Quivering with love, the silver notes flow From the soul of the singer in unseen flight. Oh, music of which the poets sing, My wandering lark-and they call you "Spring." GERTRUDE L. MIARKELL. L~i ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 174 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY "SORROW'S TALISMAN" The solitude of many centuries had settled upon that silent vale. For many centuries doubtless it had remained unsolved, mystical and peaceful-with but one exception-and now I pray that until eternity it shall ever sleep, unmoved by civilization's advance and unexplored by the innate curiosity of man. I pray that it shall rest through the stillness of those tropic nights of heavy dew and pale unearthly vapor, and days of scorching sun; that its great lizards and spiders basking in the intense heat on every naked rock and sun-baked patch of earth shall ever keep it company; and the wind, too, that passes along the cypress trees at nightfall. A temple once stood there, facing the open side of a great hill and the sea beyond. There yet remain, vast and immutable, a slab of ebon blackness set within a facade of crumbling stone and on it is graven a figure, the strange and terrible deity of an extinct religion. Its many arms radiate from the body and one is held aloft, high above the head, clinched as if invoking some awful sentence. So high, in fact, is that hand held that the dying sun touches it last of all, burnishing it with a strange radiance so that it seems to glitter for a moment, before the sun has disap-peared below the horizon. One would swear, upon gazing in-tently, that the hand, scintillating there in the sunlight, moved slightly ere the night's breath passed along the ruined temple and rustled among the leaves of the bushes, dying in sad cadance within the forest. It is always the part of Americans to disturb the tranquility of such places, and their action often terminates in happiness or disaster. The story about to follow is, in fact, so widely distorted lby the unreal I little doubt that the reader will attribute the tale to the class of Munchausen. Pledged to one departed, I will not relate, in my poor way, the mystery that surrounded the most unfortunate of men. To me the story offers little solution-it only increases the horrible mystery I fain would fathom. Early in the last half of the past century Gordon Burke, com-paratively well-to-do and young, found himself wandering aim- 174 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 175 ---------- lessly through the easy-going populaces of Northern South Amer-ica, vainly trying to forget his recent failure at Harvard and the death of a beloved mother. A fair knowledge of Spanish enabled him to traverse the beautiful country at ease, which seemed the only form of recreation that somewhat eased his troubled brain and weary heart. In a remote seacoast, where the hills abruptly meet the sea, was a vale, unexplored, avoided, scarce mentioned by the super-stitious natives without the sign of the cross. After useless par-leying and bartering for a guide, Burke set out alone to ascend the hill, beyond which lay the unknown. A mountain village's entire pol)ulace watched him in silence, while ashy faces moaned prayer upon prayer and cast al)prehensive glances until the American was a mnere speck on the hillside, and then drolpped be-yond the crest. His path led circuitously down the gravel slope, in and out among scrubby pines and thorny bushes. Farther (lown, the hill branched into several deep wooded ravines of forbidding and gloomy appearance. Burke chose the darkest of these, for his route, for far below something caught his attention. The way led along a tiny rivulet whose peblles were of unusual beauty and coloring, and o\ver which it was necessary to cross instead of seeking a more difficult path through the rank vegetation along its banks. After an uncertain length of time the wanderer found the rivulet losing itself within a mound of grass and moss-covered rock. A natural amphitheatre presented itself to him, unusually rugged and sparsely vegetated, excepting a rough crescent shape of cypress trees that grew at its base. And here we must ask the obliging reader to recall the open-ing words of this tale, which are in almost the exact words of the late Gordon Burke, Jr. He Iplunged into his narration that way 8 and bade me take it down, but his story became so intense and labored owing to his strange malady that had all but conquered him) I forgot to write and only listened, open-mouthed, till the tale was finished and his talk rambled off into an incoherent paradox. But that glittering hand--it must have moved, for up to the face of the black slab went the American-up to the great face. He was finally able to gain just enough foothold to rise on his tiptoes and look upon the hands. It had been hard work-that climbing- and all of Burke's attention had been drawn to the territory he was scaling, but when he looked-Good Heavens! There was an opal the size of a hen's egg and of such brilliance 175 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 176 ---------- and beauty that he gasped and blinked. There is a given time for admiration and then must come the work, so a jack-knife hacked and pried in the rather loose cement setting until the stone, suddenly loosened from its resting place, disappeared over the black polished stones. Burke was amazed. It meant a search and the search meant a delay. The sun, too, was five minutes on its way to China. In the rank vegetation behind, nothing could be found. Thinking that perhaps it had rolled under one of the numerous boulders he turned to move one of the smaller ones. As he did so his left leg went through the turf-seemed to break through a crust and dangle in space. Naturally, as soon as the leg was taken out he put his head in and peered into the blackness below, and there, as sure as faith, was the big opal lying on the floor of the subter-ranean chamber. The ambitious one laboriously made a hole large enough to drop through, but when the chill of that un-known vault struck his limbs he pictured the horrors of the place into which he had fallen, and braced himself for the inevitable. Even as he did the opal was in his hand and his eyes vainly searching the impenetrable gloom. A very feeble ray shone dully, almost reluctantly it seemed, from the hole above. The air was foul and poisonous, and he knew that sooner or later it would overpower him. A thousand pictures, horribly fantastic, whirled and throbbed beneath his burning forehead. Suddenly the opal began to gleam, gleam, gleam, and from the recess of the gloom came a low "Oh-h-h," dying into a deathly silence. A gust of cold, damp air breathed through the chamber and Burke plunged into the darkness in a vain attempt at escape. He tripped and fell prone on the rocky floor, and that "Oh-h-h" nearer at hand. He came to a half stooping, half raised posture and put forth that gleaming opal in a mad, vain search. Silence followed, but that silence was more horrible than the shrieks and moaning of the Lost. Out of the darkness grew a shape, gigantic, pale and terrible the face of a man distorted by madness and many, many crimes, carved from a pale green, luminous stone. But another face came out of that solitude-smaller yet-God! a human face and yellowish, a sad, pitiful mouth but eyes that stared, jetty, sparkling, never moving, gazing straight ahead. Slowly above those shoulders, clad in a gray indefinite material, came a hand and an arm that crept twitchingly up the base of that green thing and bent forward, slowly crooking its finger and beckoning. The 176 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 177 ---------- face broke into a grin, the lower jaw fell away, displaying rows of brilliant, hideous teeth. A strange weakening, an indescribable sickness came over Burke. He remembered dimly the face growing larger and larger and then running madly. When he came to himself again the moon was out and shone strangely white on his bared head. And he was alone on the hillside in the chill night. North again, and an older man, living quietly on a country estate in Central Kentucky. Then came a girl into the story-as all good stories go--a beautiful girl with the customary eyes and hair and teeth of those we read about. But that was when she first met Burke. She loved him, too, most likely, for they were married one fall when the hills were scarlet, russet and gold. He stood beside her at sunset and held within his hand a great, flaming opal. She silently gazed, wondering, mystified, until the sun was gone and the face of her husband was pale and sorrowful. But one child graced that household. He came, it seemed, to fill the lonely vacancy soon to follow. Yes, she went a year or so later. Burke was in the state legislature then. He failed in business. The next term his party constituents fell away fromn him and he was left alone with his little son to think and mourn the loss of her who had left him. He would hold his mystic opal in his hands at the day's close and think and think-of rugged hills and crumbling temples, mighty images, and the chill of tropic nights on silent hillsides-yes, a certain face now dimly seen, now vast and terrible. Clenching a great, gleaming stone was a hand that presented itself to him at nightfall, bringing an in- describable smothering sensation. Then came weary weeks of an unknown sickness that baffled the skill of Kentucky's best physicians. There was little doubt that his hours were numbered. He sent for a notary and com-pleted the final preparations. The man went away wearing a strange expression. Burke, Jr., was summoned before his dying father. "Son, this will, perhaps, be the last opportunity for a discussion of your future between us two. I feel sometimes that I am leaving some-thing unsaid in my talk to you, but I can only emphasize that you pursue your studies. Perhaps you have a great future before you. I hope so-I hope so. You'll accomplish more than your old dad did. You remind me of your mother, lad, sweet, gentle and true. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 178 ---------- I have little to leave you except this. He drew from under the pillow a small lacquered box. "Take it- perhaps it will bring more good fortune to you than it did to me. I think, perhaps, you can get a good price from Weatherr, he has quite a passion for such things." Burke, Sr., turned his face to the wall, and nis son stolc silently from the room with the black lacquered box in his hand. He entered the library below, where a green-shaded lamp burned on a table heaped with books and papers. Here young Burke sank into a great armchair and began his investigation as he pried open the lid of the tiny box. The stone rolled out upon the table and lay glittering there in the lamplight. Somewhere in the house a door slammed, and involuntarily the boy seized the gleaming object and flung it into a secret drawer on the secretary. Almost as he did so there came a wild, piercing cry from the chamber above. A cold draft swept through the bare halls of the house. The light flashed wildly up in the lamp and went out. Agitated beyond description and cold with fear, he sank motion-less into a chair. Outside the storm gathered itself in fury and there came a rumbling of thunder, growing louder and louder, till with a great roar, accompanied by a vivid lighting flash, something crashed. As the flash came the man upstairs saw his last scene, doubtless the same as he had seen many years before. He was found the next morning, white and motionless, with his hands covering his face. The morning light streamed through the window across the heap of books and papers and across the figure of a boy, lying as if he had fallen asleep at the table. He was carried away laugh-ing and talking of opals and teeth and many hands, of gray-clothed, green-faced things that disturbed his sleep. Being a friend of the family, I called on him later at the hospital. It was during an interval of consciousness that he told me this story of his father and his mother, whom he never re-membered, and himself. Later he died in a convulsion, I am told. To complete. the night of the storm a portion of the Burke house was struck by lightning, the portion adjoining the library. On the following day when the debris was clearea away they found a human arm, mangled and mutilated by the rent timbers, and apparently torn from a body. Near it was found a peculiar bit of crumbled glass, that glittered and shone strangely bright in the sunshine. GRACE JANE SALMON, '17. P-77 r..:21 ...

Miss Eliot raised her eyes from the papers she was busily correcting to meet the glowing ones of a little girl, who was gaz-ing adoringly at her. "Come home with you?" repeated the teacher. "But does your mother want me, dear?" "()h, yes," breathed the child. Miss Eliot put her hands to her troubled temples and tried to think. She was just a young slip of a girl but very sweet and womanly. She had a wistful face, but her beautiful violet eyes held a twinkle in them which revealed a strong sense of humor. She glanced again at the little girl in front of her. She was not very tidy--one might know what to expect of her home. But the teacher's thoughts traveled back to her boarding house. There would he Dick-handsome Dick, with the serious eyes and the stul)l)orn chin-Dick, who loved her. She was very tired tonight and she felt she could not resist his pleading eyes. He wished to marry her and take her away from what he called "drudgery," but what the Normal School had called "service." She felt almost tempted to call it by Dick's term tonight. But there had been a time when she had meant to rise to the very top. No, it would not he safe to sit across the table from Dick tonight. Miss Eliot rose hastily and put away her papers. "WTait just a second, Jennie, and I will go with you." A few minutes later the two were walking through the sharp, wintry air. The walk put new life into the girl, and by the time they reached the child's home she was in quite a cheerful frame of mnid. But the look of astonishment on the mother's face when they entered and the disorderliness of the house plainly told her that she had not been expected. She would have turned back to her boarding house, but the snow was falling fast, and besides, "Ma" Mulligan would not forego the honor of having teacher "stay to supper." Miss Eliot was given the seat of honor by a warm fire, and Ma, leaving the little Mulligans to entertain her, went to prepare 180 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 181 ---------- the meal, with the help of Jennie. MAiss Eliot spoke pleasantly to the children and tried in vain to get their opinion on different subjects, but they were so overawed in her presence that they simply sat and stared. At last the teacher gave up and sat and gazed into the fire. dreaming of-Dick. What would he think when she did not come home? Would he come to find her? At last Ma came to the door and announced, "Supper's ready!" It would be hard to explain how all those p)eople distributed themselves around one small table, but they acconiplished the teat. When "Pa" came home he was as much impressed with the unusual occurrence as were the rest of the family. He considered the teacher a walking encyclopedia and was resolved to profit by 7 this opportunity to gain information. He asked all kinds of ques-tions, from "the kind of feed to raise chickens on" to "what the weather will be tomorrow." But he soon applied himself to his supper with a look of disillusion, and the teacher had a guilty feeling that she was disgracing her profession. When the meal was nearly over Ma asked the teacher im- portantly if she "would have a piece of pie?" The latter looked doubtfully at it and answered, "No, thank you." "If the teacher doesn't want any we'll not cut the pie," de-cided Ma. At this the youthful Mulligans set up such a wail as to fairly make the teacher jump out of her chair at the unexpectedness of it--they had been so still before. She hastily changed her mind in regard to the pie and so harmony was restored. Miss Eliot had all she could do to keep her face coml)osed at some of the remarks which were made lby different members of the family. Several times she had a girlish inclination to giggle, but she also had a kind heart and did not wish to hurt their feelings. After she and Jennie had dried the supper dishes the teacher went to sit by the fire until it should be time to go to bed, foi it was now snowing so hard that the family insisted that she re-main all night. So she sat and looked into the fire and talked to the Mulligans, but all the time she was thinking of I)ick. She had been sure that he would be after her before this. How did he 181 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 182 ---------- know but she had been lost in the snow storm? None of the peo-ple had telephones, so he could not phone. Perhaps, after all, he did not love her so much-he could forget her so easily. But her common sense asserted itself. He was probably looking for her right now. He was anything but forgetful. There was only one way in which he had fallen short of her ideal-he had not a very strong sense of humor. Dick took very seriously things which only caused her to laugh. It seemed to her that people who had not much money should have a strong sense of humor to make up the deficiency. So, dreaming and thinking, the girl went to the "spare bed-room" to retire for the night-but not to sleep. The mattress had been filled with straw, and so well filled that there was a large ridge in the middle. The girl tried in vain to balance herself on the top of the elevation-she kept rolling off the sides and onto the floor. At first she felt chagrined but in the end she was laughing hysterically. Suddenly a jingle of hells rang out on the clear, frosty air. The girl sprang out of bed with a hound and dressed herself. Her womanly intuition told her it was Dick-Dick had come for her. She was running down the stairs when she heard his clear, young voice in the hall. "Is Miss Eliot here?" he asked Ma, who opened the door. The strained anxiety of his voice made the girl's heart leap. "Here I am, Dick." she called, and she was soon tucked snugly into the sleigh and they were flying over the snow. Sud- (lenly D)ick's arm shot out and clutched her convulsively. "Oh, Girl! I thought you were lost." "No," said the girl, "not lost-only found." "What ?" "I have decided," said the girl, mysteriously, "to give up my present work of service-to take up another." "And that is?" questioned Dick. "Him-m-m. guess!" FAY C.

MABEL HAE, '16. 183 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 184 ---------- THIRD PRIZE STORY "HEADS FOR GIRLS" (This is the latest jab on our honorable "Miss Head's School for Girls." Room 13.) Dearest Punch: I know, my long suffering angel, that it is only three days since you have undergone the agony of one of my epistles, but I simply and absolutely must unburden myself of the load that's on my mind at present. My new roommate has molas-ses colored hair and watery blue eyes and "Ground Gripper" shoes, and you know you plumb can't confide in that sort of a person-ality. She thinks I'm mentally deranged now, and the good Lud only knows what she'd think if I told her this. (My Stars, I've half a notion to-just to see the look of holy horror on her most excellent countenance. Better I didn't, though, I might just as well publish it in the "Eagle.") But I really started out to tell you the richest thing that ever happened here. It's 1:10 a. m., and I'm only half clothed and entirely out of my right mind, so don't be h'alarmed, me darlint, if I write in Chinese or quote from Browning (this latter being the most absurd thing I could think of doing). Now take both corks out of your ears and get a bottle of smelling salts handy-and above all things, don't laugh-this is going to be tragic. Ready? Well, here goes! You know that fool cousin of mine whose angel mother calls him Cornelius, and wants him to put weights in his snoes for fear his wings will get so large he'll fly straight to heaven some day (Man, you ought to read the letters that kid sends home-you'd absolutely croak laughing), and whom (English correct?) the rest of his overflowing circle of acquaintances call Cob (derived from some assumed connection with Corn-elius)? Well, he's "it." I have never in all my young life and wide experience seen another nut with quite the propensity for getting into (and usually out of -he's a handsome dog, with the nicest laugh you ever heard) scrapes as that young Corn-cob possesses. But this last one takes the cake. You know, he's going to Yale now, and that's only twelve miles from here, and I met him not long ago when I went to New Haven for some new duds. Of course he buttonholed me (we're 184 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 185 ---------- both such empty-headed nuts that we hit it up pretty well) and we dropped in at Denton's for some eats. As it happens, Cob has a sky-blue-pink "crush" on Polly Crawford (and that .s the most sensible thing he's done for ages. She's the sweetest thing in this whole "Cemetery). And you ought to have heard him- he didn't hardly even wait to ask about the family before he casually (?) remarked, "Don't suppose you've seen Polly lately?" (Just as though he didn't know that she's the one person I spend twenty-two of my twenty-four hours with). So I started in and told him all about how she was wearing her hair now, and about her new suit, and what subjects she was studying, and the exam she was cramming for, and had him about foaming at the mouth before he finally exploded. "Oh, bother take her new suit with the accordian-pleated hem tucked with striped flounces (or something to that effect), I want to know how she IS!" He was getting wild-eyed and I was fearing they'd call out the city sleuths, so I told him how well she liked his picture that he just sent her, and that she was getting thin and wan, and wasn't eating much (Heaven rest my soul, I left her attempting to study an English lesson with a box of chocolates on one side, a half a mince pie on the other, and a jar of pickles in front of her). Then he began raving about how he wished he could see her, and "why the Sam Hill did we have a faculty that excluded gentle-man callers," and all that dope-and then I had an idea (you know what brilliant ideas I can have at times; the only rub is that other people don't see the scintillating, sparkling glory of them). We were going to have a big Washington's Birthday frolic in the gym and I dared him to dress up as a girl and come over to it, and I'd see that he got in and got a wee bit of a chat with Polly. That young cousin o' mine is a very soul- satisfying relation. He looked a bit blank at first, then his eyes began to sparkle and he got up, walked around his chair, sat down again, and said, "Lord, what a joke! Will you do it, Judy?" Then we rolled up our mental sleeves and set to work making plans. After I got home and got to thinking it over-Great Scott! I began to get wobbly in the region of the knees. Suppo
