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."

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.

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.

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. Suppose he couldn't get suitable clothes-and of course he couldn't, and even though Cob is slim and pretty, no boy can dress to look like a girl, and what if Miss Head found it out and I got expelled and-hor- 185 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 186 ---------- rors! I vis;oned the family holding a prayer meeting for my lost soul. You can imagine how cheerfully I went down to the 7:30 train to meet my cousin, Miss Cornelia Vanderford. When that train pulled in I had to stand on one foot and anchor it down with thc other to keep from running away. And of all the people that got off! It seemed as if I had never seen so many girls get off that train before, and the last person was a nightmare. It wore a violent green dress trimmed in oceans of red braid, and high-heeled white slippers (why on earth when boys masquerade as girls do they attempt high heels), and a big black picture hat and a heavy figured veil. I almost screeched as she started toward me and I saw a mental moving picture of the frolic (?) in the gym. I just stood stock still with my eyes popping out of my head and a frozen "smile of welcome" on my face. As she bore down upon me I managed to get my hand out and was just about to speak when she gave me "a orful stare" (one of those he-eyed-her-up and he eiderdown" sort), and swept on. At the same moment I heard a sound as if some one were strangling on the other side of me, and I whirled around and there stood a young lady correctly gowned in a long gray travel-ing coat and a small hat and veil, and smart-looking low-heeled slippers. I must have had an expression on my face like a chicken dying of the pip, for the young lady spluttered, "Oh, my aunt, Judy, kill that look or I shall bust something, sure. Oh, Lo-ord, she thought that thing was me!" I know just how a person feels when the jury Drings in the verdict, "Not guilty." It seems he had gotten the things from the dramatic club, and he really looked lovely, only he was a bit awkward and his voice was rather husky . We decided that Miss Vanderford would have a bad cold and he worked up an effective cough and we went down behind the station and worked up the scene where he'd have to be presented to Miss Head. Speaking of rehearsals, that was a scream. After that, things began to happen. I was all dressed, so we went right up to the gym and screwed up our courage and sailed in. (I asked Cob how he felt and he said "lovely, only one shoe was too tight and his wig was too loose). I almost exploded when Miss Head recommended vinegar and molasses for Miss Cornelia's "cold," and I thought I'd die when he tripped on his skirt, but I managed to get he and Polly an hour together.. But it was after that the final shebango came off-what you IT77 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 187 ---------- might call the "grand finale." It was getting rather late and I was getting anxious to get my "fair charge" of me 'ands. We , were just about to the door when who should sail up but Madanme le President, and I began to get the "shiverigitis" right there-sumpin h'orful was going to h'occur. We were standing right in front of an open window (it was hot as Milton's Inferno. Was it Milton? Oh, well-) and she was conversing merrily away and we were wildly searching for an avenue of escape when it hap-pened. One of our capricious little breezes, a merry little gust, came puffing in the window, and what did my cousin's loose wig (lo but stand up on its haunches, do a polka step in indecision, anl( then spin slowly and calmly half way around on "our darling's" head. The wig was done in quite a high Psyche knot, and you can imagine how he looked with that Psyche sticking out of the top of his forehead. Pandemonium! Miss Head keeled over in someone's arms (she didn't really faint but she thinks it looks dramatic). Polly screeched, and the two principals in this comedy skit nmade a hur-ried exit. Cob simply streaked for the door, and I dove through the window (it was low, fortunately). I made a pretty good imitation of a flash of lightning getting to my room, and spent the rest of the night hatching up ex-cuses. I got a pathetic little note from Cob with a list of possil)e ex-planations to select from and a postscript saying if none of thelm would work he'd come back and fess up like a man. Child, it would have made a stone image weep to hear the tale of woe I composed for the occasion. At any rate, it worked. then I wrote the details to "me dear cousin, who is almost bald and has to wear a wig, and is very, vERY sensitive about it." (Wow!) It was lovely while it lasted but a trifle too exciting for nly weak nerves, and I have solemnly sworn, never, no, never again! I'm going to be good henceforward and always mind my elders and change my horns for two little downy white wings and a halo, and float up to heaven and play on a harp with by eyes cast up, and never be naughty no more. Your own imlp, JUDY. ((race Sherman.) 3* ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 188 ---------- ADVISORY BOARD V. T. Moodie. Stella Goyne. E. Rowe. KLIPSUN STAFF RUTH E. CONNER - - - Editor-in-Chief RUTH A.

Estes. 197 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 198 ---------- FOOTBALL Shortly after the opening of school for the fall term Coach Carver made his official call for football turnout. A husky squad responded to the call. For the first time in the history of the school two teams were available. The second squad did much to help the first team round into form. The old letter men were: Kelley, guard; Breakey, end; Shold, guard; Capt. Haracich, tackle, and Wold, fullback. The rest of the squad consisted of Beardsley, of Bothell High School fame, at center; Muller, of Bellingham High, Powell, of Bellingham, both guards; Breneman, from the U. of W. freshman team, at tackle; Ed. Shidler, of Burlington, Lusk, of Laurel, at end positions; Bay, of Lynden, at right half; "Bill" Shidler, of Burlington, left half, and Raridon, of Bellingham High, at quarter. It goes without saying that the team was the best ever pro-duced at the Normal School. Every man on the squad was an ex-perienced player, having had two or three years of football. They were well up in the fundamentals of football, and consequently practically all the time was devoted to acquiring team work. Tak-ing into consideration the condition of Athetic Field, Coach Carver and the squad should be congratulated upon the amount of speed and team work displayed. It might be well to add right here that it is the conditions under which the athletic teams of the school have played that have retarded their development more than anything else. It might be interesting to note that the team was not scored upon by a strictly high school teani during the season. The three defeats suffered by the Normal came as a result of the games with Everett, the strongest high school team in the state, playing with three ineligible men; Mount Vernon Athletic Club, and the Uni-versity sophomores. The remaining games won by the Normal was all of the shutout variety, not a score being made against us. During the course of the season the Normal piled up a total of 108 points to their opponents' 52, quite a commendable record, indeed. Every man on the squad played a good heady game and de-serves credit. The line held like a "stone wall" on most occasions and deserves special mention. People generally are under the im-pression that the backfield men are the only ones who star during 198 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 199 ---------- a game. The linemen are "on the job" all the time, plugging away unnoticed by the onlookers, while the backfield get the credit for their work. The backfield men have chances for teamwork and individual work, certainly, and thereby deserve credit. NORMAL 26- FERNDALE 0. The first game of the season was played with our old rival, the Ferndale High, on the Normal athletic field. During past years the Normal and Ferndale were evenly matched, but the "wormi turned," and they returned home a sadder and wiser team. The Normal line deserves credit for the way it held the rushes of thlie heavy Ferndale backs. The field was too wet for fast ootbaill but despite the fact the Normal was successful in many forwaird passes. EVERETT 26-NORMAL 7 The hardest game of the season was played at Everett against the High School. Everett always produces a good footlball team. The Normal went (town dletermined( to win but were forced to take the small end of the score. Nevertheless the "smokestack" huskies knew they were playing fast football. It is bad form to make excuses after a defeat, but it is true the Normal was sadly "out of luck." Time and again we would rush the ball to the goal line only to lose it through mixed signals or fuimbles. Many of the players expected a "stone wall" defense and were agreeably surprised to find how easy it was to make yardage through the Everett line. Erwin Daily was the backbone of the Everett team, being instrumental in scoring three of the touchdowns. Capt. Haracich made the only touchdown for the Norimial, running ninety yards with the Everett "pack" at his heels. "'Ed" can surely run when someone is after him. Many successful passes were made, hoth by the Nermal and Everett. Even the old shoestring pass worked on several o0- casions. U. OF WV. SOPHS 13,--N()RMAL 0. Again the Normal suffered defeat, but at the hands of a team out of her class. The "Sophs" had a strong team, heavier and more experienced than ours. The Normal line was taken to the utmost to hold themn from making more yardage than they did1 It was a good game, the Normal fighting like mad to stave off defeat and the "Sophs" determined to win. They won, but it 199 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 200 ---------- was a hard earned victory. The backfield of the "Sophs" were heavy, fast and hard hitting, a combination hard to beat. Our backs did good work, even if they did not annex a touchdown. Critics say it was the best game played in Bellingham for an age. ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0-NORMAL 14 The next game was played on our home grounds, which was a morass of mud and water, as usual. The Anacortes High could not get a team together strong enough to give us a worthy battle, so an aggregation from the city as well as the High was "rounded up" and came over. They met their Waterloo-strong on the water, as there was sufficient in evidence, and returned home sadder but wiser. The game was slow on account of the con-dition of the field. Several passes were attempted and some were successful, although the ball was slippery. The Normal line held as usual, and the heavy backs of Anacortes failed to gain. The Normal backfield could not show its speed this game on account of the boys getting stuck in the mud. FERNDALE 0-NORMAL 26 Again we defeated Ferndale, but not the same team. The High School asked to be allowed to use some outside men, and a husky "young" bunch of football heroes lined up against us. Dahlquist, Plaser, Hintly and Mohrman were some of the men who played. At last the Normal was on a dry field, and we took advantage of the fact. The line worked strenuously to hold the heavy backfield of Ferndale and our backfield were fast and sure, tearing off yardage both through the line and off end. The open field running by the Normal backs was a feature of the game. MOUNT VERNON 13-NORMAL 0 One of the hardest games of the year was played at Mount Vernon against the Athletic Club of that city. Coach Jenny, of the High School, had a strong team in the field made up mostly of Coach Jenny. He was responsible for the two touchdowns regis-tered against us and did much on defensive work to prevent our scoring. The game was snappy and fast. The field was dry and the day was ideal for football. Our team made yardage almost at will and played a good game, but touchdowns were hard to get. We had the ball on the goal line on several occasions only to lose it on downs. 200 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 201 ---------- B. H. S. 0-NORMAL 6 The most important game of the season was played against our old rival, the North Side High. Keen rivalry exists between the two schools in the athletic lines and the excitement was at its height on the day of the great battle. Both sides were confident of victory, as usual, and both sides possessed the "do or die" spirit. The field was rather muddy for football, making it hard to handle the ball. The High played the better ball the first quar-ter because the Normal was slow in getting started. When we were in a tight place, though, the line held like a stone wall. The second half the Normal woke up and things began to happen. Three touchdowns were made during the last quarter, but two were not allowed on account of holding on the part of Normal men. The High was outclassed in team work and speed. The Normal team was the heavier of the two by a small margin. The Hfigh says we are lucky to win. We come right back and say the High was lucky the score was only 6 BREMERTON 0-NORMAL 22 Athletic relations between Bremerton and the Normal were cemented when we played the high school of that place at Bremer-ton. The Bremerton boys played good football, depending mostly upon shift plays. But shift plays were "pie" for the Normal and were easily broken up. In this game the Normal backfield had its best opportunity to show its speed. It took advantage of the opportunity and some fast work was witnessed by the fans of the Navy City. Our long end runs were especially good, yardage being made at will. Bay kicked a drop kick from the thirty-yard line, the only successful kick of the season. After the game the Bremerton High School girls gave a banquet to both teamns. To say it was appreciated is drawing it mild. We fairly "stuffed" ourselves. 'Tis sad to relate, though, we are short on the speech-making. Every speech was started with the words, "I haven't much to say," and ended with, "We played the best we knew how." The trip was made by water, to the disadvantage of some of the team. Shidler and Breneiman can ride bucking bronchos better than "foam crested waves." It is hoped that athletic re-lations may be continued with the Down Sound city. 201 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 202 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Normal Basketball Team Davenport P. Rockey, Captain Carver, Coach Breneman, Bay, Kelley Wold 202 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 203 ---------- BASKETBALL Hardly had the muddy gridiron hero taken his departure before old King Basketball was ushered in. Basketball always has been the major sport at the Normal, and this year was no exception. More than two teams were out and very promising material was available. Coach Carver soon had the first squad picked, consisting of Bay, of Lynden; Rockey, of Bellingham; Breneman, of Castle Rock; Kelley, of Clearbrook; D)avenport; Wold, of Bellingham. Len. Anstett returned from the Unibersity in time to win his letter at guard. Rockey was chosen captain by his teammates before the first game, and to show his appre-ciation he played a steady game throughout the season. Coach Carver believes he had a better team than last year, owing to the fact that although they lost one game more, they played harder teams and had to play harder to win. The year previous fourteen games were played, ten being won and four lost. This year fifteen games were played, ten being won and five lost, besides every team played this year was vastly superior to those playea against last year.

Carver issued his annual call for baseball material and a goodly number of eml)ryo Ty Cobbs and Walter Johnsons responded to the call. But two letter men put in an appearance, Griffin, last year's shortstop, and Raridon, center fielder. Coach Carver tackled the p)roblem of con-structing practically a new teamn. The men who were left after the "weeding out process" were Parkins, catcher, a Blaine man; Smith, pitcher, a Vancouver product; Mount, pitcher, of Anacor-tes; Fox, first base, Ferndale; Russell, second base, of Ferndale; Griffin, shortstop, of Bellingham; Montgomery, shortstop, of Bell-mngham; "Bud" Raridon, third base, of Bellingham; Beardsley, left field, of Bothell; E. Raridon, center, of Bellingham; Roop, fielder; Bay, fielder, of Lynden, and Uddenherg, fielder. Owing to the fact that no grounds are available on the campus the squad practiced on the Sehome grounds, working under a handicap because of the roughness of the field and the condition of the weather, it raining practically all the time, thus retarding the practice. U. OF \V. 13- NORMAL 0 Wiith but one week's practice the Normal crossed bats with the fast U. of W. team on our home grounds. The "U" was on its C way to Vancouver to play the Beavers, of the Northwestern League, and had just come from a victory over the champion Se-attle team of the same league. WVe expected defeat and we were not disappointed. What little credit we deserve goes to Smith, our pitcher, for the way he pitched ball. He had the purple and gold squad eating out of his hand, but his teammates fell down on their end of the job. Errors contributed partly to our defeat and the fact that we were weak at the bat. FERNI)ALE 3-NORMAL 6 Our next game was with our old rival, Ferndale, played at Ferndale. The Normal in years past has suffered at the hands of Ferndale in baseball but this year we got our revenge. The team played better ball than formerly, but few errors being made. Smith pitched good hall, allowing but four hits and whiffing several of the Ferndale sluggers. 205 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 206 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Track Team Standing (from left to right) - Crum, Estes, Smith, Muller, Beardsley, E.

The first turnout was held Monday, April 24, with con-siderable rivalry for places in the events. "Bill" Shidler was elected captain of the squad. We p)redict that "Bill" will let no grass grow under his feet this spring and that he will show many an aspiring young athlete his "twinkling heels." The tryout re- sulted in the following men being chosen: For sprints, "Bill" Shidler, "Red" Montgomery, E. Rairdon;; for broad jump, Estes, Muller and "Bill" Shidler; for running, Broad, Estes, E. Rairdo C and "Bill" Shidler; pole vault, E. Bixhy, Parkins, B. Rairdon, V.

Basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis have been a source of pleasure to a great many girls of the school. The success, how-ever, is most of all due to Miss Nickerson, the coach. She has worked untiringly throughout the year and has had her hands full managing and coaching the teams. Never before have so many different branches of athletics been open to the girls, and the introduction of these is the result of Miss Nickersons' work. BASKETBALL Basketball was the biggest thing of the year. Early in Sep-tember Miss Nickerson called a meeting of all girls interested in basketball. At this meeting it was decided to play modified boys rules. Also the schedule should be so arranged that each team played three games with each of the other teams, the teamn win-ning the best two out of three to win the series. The object of this was that it would give more girls a chance to play and earn letters. From early in October until March the gym on every night of the week was the scene of much practice and many deadly con-tests. After much waiting and suspense the first game of the series between the Seniors and Juniors was called. The game was fast, but the Seniors as yet had not developed their characteristic skill and teamwork, which was later so marked. The Juniors came victorious with a score of 8-5. The Juniors' line- up: Forwards-Bernadine Hilliard, Jenny Kelly, Genie Watrous, center, Cosby Jackson; Guards, Ada Howard and Elizabeth Jones. Seniors-Forwards, Anne Larson, Kathleen Skalley; center, Barbara Conroy; guards, Helen Gragg and Emma Johnson. The Juniors again marched forth, bringing home another victory over the Sophomores, the score coming out 20-6. The Sophomores had a strong team, considering the size of the class, and they put up a good game. Sophomore line-up: Forwards, Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales and Sophia Westman; centers, Olive Pearson, Mary Kean; guards, Marion Lee, Edna McKinnon and Anne Bennett. 211 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 212 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Junior Girls' Basketball Team Hefty, Jackson, Hovander, Watrous, Kelley, Jones, Hilliard. 212 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 213 ---------- In the third game of the series the Sophomores clashed with the Seniors. The Seniors carried off the victory by 21-11. The Seniors brought in their second team: Center, "Dot" Gooch; guards, Hilda Backman and Gertrude McMahan; forwards, Helena Stenvig, supported by the first team forwards, Anne Larson and Kathleen Skalley. The Juniors won the second game from the Sophomores, the final score standing 24-8. With much spirit and enthusiasm everyone looked forward to the second Junior-Senior game. From the first to the last it was the closest and most skillful game that had so far been p)layed in the series. At the end of the game the score cane out 20-19 in favor of the Senior girls. In the last Junior- Sophomore game the Juniors won by 12-5, and the Seniors also p)layed two victorious games with the Sopho-mores, winning the first by a score of 27-10 and the latter 18-11. Passing through the halls and around the gym just before a game, you would find small groups seriously discussing some weighty subject. Coming closer you might chance to hear some stray reiimark such as, "Now, who do you think will win?" fol-lowed by the usual individual opinions. Well, they might have been discussing the crucial game, for the final Junior-Senior game was in every one's mind. March 14th arrived and long before 4:10 the gym was packed, the Juniors occupying one side and the Seniors the other. As the black and gold five and the green and yellow quintet came out on the floor a deafening cheer went up and "Rah! Rah! Rah! Juniors!" against "Hip! Hip! Hooray! Seniors!!" could hardly be distinguished. The whistle was blown by the referee, Miss Nickerson, and the game was on, fast and hard, each team de-termined to win. There was evidence of skillful playing on both sides. The first half ended with 14-10 in favor of the Seniors. As the girls came back for the second half the loyal supporters of both teams were tense with suspense. One more half to play. Would the hard-fought-for Kline Cup be engraved with Senior or Junior numerals for 1916? Fifteen minutes of quick, decisive work with good plays on both sides--and the enthusiastic shouts of the Seniors told that for the first time in tweve years the Kline Cup was won by the Senior girls with a final score of 27-13. That girls can be true athletes has been shown throughout 213 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 214 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Sophomore Girls' Basketball Team McKinnon, Bennett, Pearson, Westman, Arnold, Cales, (Capt.) Nickerson (Coach). ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 215 ---------- the season by the splendid interclass spirit. Victory or defeat was accepted in a true sportsmanlike attitude. Not only in basketball but in other forms of athletics they have played for the love of the game and have been good winners and good losers. Thursday, April 12, all the students gathered in the assembly hall for an "athletic assembly." On this occasion the "B's" were awarded to the athletes and the Kline Cup presented to the Sen-iors. Miss Nickerson, head of the Physical Training department and the girls' basketball coach, gave a very interesting talk on girls' athletics. The points brought to our attention were that on the whole girls are not as sportsmanlike as boys, but given the same conditions, it has been shown that girls can be as much, if not more sportsmanlike than boys. The following girls received letters: Seniors-Kathleen Skalley, Anne Larson, Barbara Conroy, Helen Gragg, Emma Johnson, Helena Stenvig, "Dot" Gooch, Gert-rude MeMahan and Hilda Backman. Juniors-Genie Watrous, Cosby Jackson, Elizabeth Jones, Jenny Kelly, Ada Hovander, Bernadine Hilliard, Clara Helty. Sophomores- Elizabeth Arnold, Cassie Cales, Marion Lee, Sophia Westman, Olive Pearson, Anne Bennett, Edna McKinnon. GIRLS' BASKETBALL FROLIC Did you say frolic? Yes, that's what it was. All the basket. ball girls and Coach Miss Nickerson went down to the "big gym" Friday evening, April 14, 1916, for a good time and iar from the maddening crowd, where they could act natural. The festivities began at 8:15 with an indoor baseball game. To have seen Bernadine Hilliard and Kathleen Skalley slamming out home runs was a treat. Then came a basketball game, which was an excited rush and scramble. A tennis ball decorated with the various classes' colors was used as a basketball. The referee, "Jack" Gragg, called strict fouls and anyone making a foul was put out of the game. The game was on fast and hard when the referee's whistle blew shrilly several times and Miss Nickerson was put off the floor for overguarding Anne Larson. She was followed by Kathleen Skalley, who attempted to track the ball on her knees, and Emma Jackson, 215 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 216 ---------- who was beginning to show too much baseball skill. Other changes followed in rapid succession. "All ready for the track meet," was next called, and the girls all assembled at one end of the gym. The "Numbskulls" and the "Knownothings" were the competitors. The events in order and their respective winners were: Stride relay, Knownothings. Shot put, Jennie Kelly, Knownothings. Standing broad grin, Zetta Gage, Knownothings. Leap frog relay, Knownothings. There's Music in the Air, Grace Brower, Numbskulls. Sack race, Lucile Pearson, Knownothings. Hand spring relay, Genie Watrous, Numbskulls. The meet was won by the "Numbskulls," captained by Jennie Kelly, by a score of 31, but Anne Larson's team were just behind with a score of 30. Then came some stunts, few in number but good and snappy. Soon came a most urgent (?) call from the cafeteria and we all made a rush for the ice cream and cake, which tasted good after such strenuous exercise. After a parting good night, we all started home each declar-ing that this was a perfect windup for the basketball season. E. E. J., '16.

Of course Bellingham is a large city, but who has been in what we call a small country village?" Numerous hands were raised. "Well, Dick," said teacher, "what little town have you been in?" "Seattle!" answered the eager Dick. "Have you read Carlyle's French Revolution?" asked Miss Bowen, and she was somewhat surprised to receive a negative reply. Her astonishment increased as she ran over a list of stand-ard works and successively received the same kind of an answer. Finally she asked, "Well, what have you read?" "I have red hair," Ira Miller responded eagerly. The High School class in geometry was reciting. "Have you proved this proposition?" asked Mr. Hunt. "Well," said Yorkston, "proved is rather a strong word, but I can say that I have rendered it highly probable." Jimmy saw a mosquito on the wall one day that had evidently had a full meal off of someone, as it was quite red with blood, and he called out, "Oh, mother, look! Here's a mosquito and he's ripe!" A fashionably dressed young woman entered the postoffice in large Western city, hesitated a moment, and stepped up to the stamp window. The stamp clerk looked up expectantly, and she asked, "Do you sell stamps here?" The clerk politely answered, "Yes." "I would like to see some, please," was the unusual request. The clerk dazedly handed out a large sheet of the two-cent variety, which the young woman carefully examined. Pointing to one near the center she said, "I will take this one, please." Dr. Deerwester-What is a philosopher? Forest Breakey-One who rides a philosopede. 221 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [222] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 ROLLICKING GIRLS [222] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 223 ---------- Dr. Nash had just announced in assembly that the Junior class was the largest enrolled in the history of the institution. Immediately he followed the announcement by reading the sub-ject of the speaker of the morning, "Lord, how are they increased that trouble me." A teacher was reading to her class and came across the word "unaware." She asked if any one knew its meaning. One small girl timidly raised her hand and gave the following definition: "Unaware is what you take off the last thing before you put your nightie on." ~s :. 7 ?

How dear to our hearts is Miss Brown, She really has great renown. She plays very gayly On a real ukelele, But you had better not make her frown. Dr. Deerwester had a great deal of modesty When he talked on fundamental honesty. We don't have enough Of that sort of stuff, That's why it all was so oddesty. Oh, say, did you see Miss Thatcher? For a good sport you never can match her. She slid down the slide And enjoyed all her ride. It's a shame if you were not there to watch her. Miss Mead she lost her new bonnet With the little red feelers upon it. S. L. and M. J. Picked it up, so they say, And left her as mad as a hornet. There is a young lady named Bowen, By her English bards are all knowen. She has a sweet smile That lasts quite a while. Her assignments keep us agoin'. Was there ever a man like Parish?

She makes you say "pool" In a manner so cool You'd think we had done it forever. There is no one quite like Mr. Bond, Of him we surely are fond. He's not like some teachers, As solemn as preachers. V.! He will even let us "wade in the pond." Miss Hays is our own dearest dean. For good times she always is keen. We must religiously obey Each night and each day The "approved customs," or know what they mean. Mr. Bever has never lacked fun. Many are the honors he's won. How do we know? Because he said so. He'll tell you of stunts he has done. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [226] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 LIFE [226] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 227 ---------- The H. L.

From the way Mr. Bond yawns in assembly we feel that we owe him a vote of thanks for not swallowing us. (With Apologies.) WVhen the frost is on the windows, and the hours on the clock, And you heard the others hurry as they chase off down the block, And the cries of "Where's my gym shoes?" and "I've lost my foun-tain pen," And your roommate's haller-looyer as she calls, "Well, come on, then." Oh, it's then the time a feller is a feelin' at his best, With the breakfast bell to wake her from a night of worried rest, As she leaves the house bareheaded and goes chasin' down the block When it's her for that old gym class and the hour's eight o'clock.

HEARD IN THE LUNCH LINE "I don't believe Miss Sperry is ever hungry, she keeps us so long after the bell rings. I couldn't get a thing but soup." "Which is salt?" "The soup may have been made on the seashore, but that's as near as it ever came to a clam." "Ain't there no ice cream left? Oh, Gee!" "There, I put salt in my coffee." "Your ticket is out, Miss Rhodes." "Please do not crowd; there's lots of soup." "Looks like rain." Student, glancing at soup, "Tastes like it, too." "What is this, anyway?" "Gee, I've got an oyster!"

A new gymnasium. A new library. An adding machine for the Seniors who are trying to add up their credits. A bank to keep the Junior dues in. A set of circular pews for Miss Baxter's room. A new course of study for Miss Sperry to teach. A new stage for the auditorium. A TRAGEDY "Down on your knees, You villain! you freak!"'' She yelled in a lone That was near to a shriek. Her face it was fiery, Her eyes, they were red. She turned to him wildly, And madly she said, "John Jones, you're a villain, As I've oft said before. Get down, I say, down On your knees on the floor! In the duslt at ny feet. Gel up here, John Jones, And call me 'yonr sweet!' " S. E. \W. Dr. Deerwester was quizzing the Phil. of Ed. class. Singling out Martin Baker in the rear of the room, he addressed the ques-tion to him. Baker rose, in much confusion, and bent his ear to catch the stage whispers of his friends seated about him. "Well, you ought to be able to answer," said the doctor, "with all the aid you are receiving back there." "I could," came the reply, "but there's a difference of opinion back here. 231 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [232] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 JUNIORS AND OTHERS [232] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 233 ---------- HEARD IN ZOOLOGY "What kind of a bug is that?"

" 'Trans' always means across." "Then I suppose," continued the logical little miss, "that transparent means a cross parent, doesn't it, mamma?" In botany class where each student had signed her initials to work on the board: Sally Lopp-Why, that girl's initials spell "Rag."

Mr. Hoppe was about to deliver a reading in assembly one morning and he asked Dr. Deerwester if he might have a small pitcher of ice water on the platform table. "To drink?" asked Dr. Deerwester. "No," answered Mr. Hoppe.

Yoa are this day to go with me on a big journey, covering much terri-tory and seeing wondrous sights. Did you know that you are fol-lowing in the footsteps of a thousand worthy predecessors, gradu-ates of this beautiful Normal of ours; that scattered all over this globe are one thousand worthy citizens testifying what in a few years you are to be, and what very soon we, as Seniors, are to be? As on this journey we ferret out the dignified Seniors of years gone by and behold them in their present activities, realize that one of these is you in the years to come. With great awe and wonder we begin our journey. Oh, ye students of Observation I, have you realized in your travels about our country that some of the most progressive teach-ers there seen are products of this institution? Listen and be convinced. In the city of Bellingham alone there are about sixty alumni actually engaged in teaching, besides about forty who are married or engaged in business here. To enumerate them would be an endless task, but we can name a few of those doing most con-spicuous work. Here in our own building we have Sam E. Car-ver, our able coach, who is a graduate of 1913, and Gladys Stephen, '14, as assistant librarian. We have Mae Reichert, '14, at the Model School at Geneva; Ethel Everett, '04, the county superintendent; her assistant, Bernard Davenport, '11; Richard Ewing, '04, principal of the Roeder school; Mrs. Robin, '13, prin-cipal of the Bennett school; Betsy Stenberg, '10, of the Commercial department, and Lillian Miller, '01, of the English department in the High School; Harriet Dellinger Brown, the city drawing super-visor; Lola Gifford and Edna Waples in Domestic Science; Kirk Baxter, Beryl Batdorf and Frances Des Aulniers in departmental work. Is it not amazing? As we take a hurried trip about the county we find the same condition of affairs. At least half a hundred of our Alumni at-tend institute in this county. Again we can not visit all, but we can make a hurried survey. At Lawrence we find an encourag-ing state of affairs in that this is the only school in the county ______ ~ V ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 239 ---------- having a staff of four who are all graduates of this Normal. We find there Frances Greene, Messenger editor, '15; Arne Jensen, '12, as principal; Sarah Moen, '13, and Lauretta Helmberg, '14. We discover that B. F. Hovies, principal of the Blaine High School, is of the class of '03, and in his teaching staff we find three more. Susannah Depew, '13, Emma Buvinghausen, '15, and Vida Reed, 15. We have Edward Olson Kongsle teaching manual training at Nooksack; Clarence Dahlquist, '14, of great Normal fame, at Pleasant Valley; C. J. Storlie, '09, and Oleah Blank, '14, at Har-mony. Many of the teachers at Sumas, Lynden, Ferndale, Marietta and other towns about here can call this their Alma Mater. San Juan county, too, boasts the possession of many of our alumni. Their number is legion, and scattered everywhere are many who, though not graduates, have done their normal work here. These only in Whatcom county. And elsewhere we find them, though not so plentiful, still in sufficient numblers to wield a big influence. In proof of this let us take a flying trip about the state, alighting here or there, hit or miss, and see what we shall see. As we proceed southward we discover at Mount Vernon Elizabeth Mann, near there Boyd Ellis, and farther up the line at Lyman, Lolah McMeen and May Oscar. We have at Sedro- Woolley Elizabeth Eggers; at Big Lake, Wilhelmine Lewis; at Anacortes, Kathleen Mount; at Clinton, Viola Hopkins; at East Stanwood, Anna Breum, and at Marysville Isabelle Williams doing the work of two, in addition to teaching seventh grade also being gymnasium teacher for the school. At Everett we find scattered through the various buildings Grace Proctor, Mabel Foran, Alice Miller, Mabel French and Eva Jurgensohn. Near there at Lowell Mary Pilz teaches the third grade; at Mukilteo Gertrude Davidson has charge of the Domestic Science work; and back in the beautiful mountain scenery of Granite Falls Nondus Gaines still finds time for her basketball practice. Taking a great leap, we next visit Seattle, discovering here engaged in city grade work Bessie Lovell, Martha Everett, Carrie Dougherty, Ida and Florence Charroin and many other former lights of the normal activities. Harry Heath, Charlotte Davis, Lillie Morrison, Helen Kelly and Frank Peterson are upholding the normal standards at the state uni- 239 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 240 ---------- versity. In the region about Seattle we find many, as, for ex-ample, Hilda Musgrove at Richmond Beach. or Maimee Davis at Bremerton. At Port Orchard we may visit with Charles Becker and his wife, who was Ethel Anderson. Or we may visit, at Fos-ter, M. F. Odle, Commencement speaker and Senior Class presi-dent, '15, still showing his leadership in coaching plays, organiz-ing clubs and in all other lines of activities. We discover that his wife is Inez Gibson, '13, and this leads to an interesting digres-sion. Mrs. Odle is one of six brothers and sisters to attend this school. One attended as a Junior, three graduated, one is gradu-ating this year and the other will next year. Is this not a proud record for any family? We are told that the oldest, Clayton Gib-son, '11, is at present principal of the Ravenna school at Seattle, and that Ernest Gibson is teaching near Olympia. But we must proceed. If we are to complete our lengthy trip we must take longer flights and barely glance down at the world below. But even a glance is sufficient to reveal to us a picture of Lew Greene hob-nobbing with the fathers of our state at the capital. He is still a pedagogue but with such favorable surroundings it is difficult to guess what in the future he is to be. We discover in Olympia also Edda Quinby and near there Claude Manly. As we pass we catch glimpses of Aida Uddenberg at Tacoma; Eva White and Anna Brown at Buckley; Jessie Lieser and Anne Brown, '15, at Woodland; Vasilla Gebaroff at Pe Ell, and Elida Nordeen, president of the Y. XV. C. A. and associate editor of the Klipsun, '15, at South Bend. Flashes of normal pins everywhere about attract us, but we turn our backs on temptation and hie us over the mountains. Perhaps at Wenatchee we chance upon an institute or a thim-ble party at the home of Ethel Scheidemantle, Y. W. C. A. presi-dent, '13. If so we find normal pins much in evidence and normal gossip the theme of conversation. We find there many familiar faces, Genevieve Greynolds, Grace Cooke, Vida Van Cleve and Eliza Thompson, very late of Bellingham. They tell us that Muriel Murdock is at Chelan Falls, Pauline Paulsen at Thelma, on Lake Wenatchee, Mabel Jackson and Fred Dees at Entait, and Florence Canton and Laura Derringer are at Chelan. We would S very much like to stop with Bertha Skartvedt, '15, at Pullman, or to be served with pretzels at the home of Rudolph Knaaik, '14, and 240 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 241 ---------- his wife, who was Ruth Derifield, at Spokane, but we must hie us on. At Walla Walla are many attractions. We could visit at school with Mary Keays, '14, or have a chat with Lillian Berney, '14, near Walla Walla; we could gossip with Frances Hukill, '14, in the city, but Oregon calls us on. At Jewell, Oregon, we visit with Georgia Barry, '13, and find her good nature in no whit impaired by three years of teaching. She tells us that many of our people are in Astoria, Nell Wilson, '13, Kathleen Barry, Anna Montgomery and Esther Wyland, who in addition to her grade work supervises the music in her build-ing. Surely Astoria feels the effect of this strong contact with Bellingham. Now we come to the more interesting part of our trip, one that unfortunately we can not take, for it leads us over land and seas so far that we shrink with fear. For we would have to visit with Carrie George in Juneau, Alaska; with Charles D. Jones at his Indian school at Metlakahtla, also in Alaska; with Herman Merritt in the Philippines, and others of our people in Hawaii. And also in the states do our people lead us far. We have Marian Valentine, who has been a superintendent of schools in Montana; Alfred Roos, at the Medical School at Loma Linda in California; Grace Barnes, '13, graduating this year from the Columbia School of Oratory in Chicago and preparing to do Chautauqua lecture work during the coming summer. Elsie Ziese, '15, is at Columbia University in New York. And did you know that Maude Drake, Olive Edens and Minerva Lawrence, of this faculty, at present are at Columbia, all were graduates of this normal school? Behold, even to these great heights may we rise! But this review would not be complete without a mention of the many who during the past few years have succumbed to the wiles of Cupid. And they are legion. We can mention only a few. Novello Ziese is now Mrs. Kilbeck, of Ottawa, Kansas; Elva Boucher is Mrs. Floyd Sirgensen, of Harrington, Washington; Elizabeth Gaasland is Mrs. Le Gros, of Everett; Nellie Forbes is Mrs. C. Nelson, of East Stanwood; Nell Salvon is Mrs. W. Bristo, of Eugene, Oregon; Esther Franzen is Mrs. McCutcheon, of Adna, and so on indefinitely. And even now about our country the wed-ding bells are ringing, signifying the loss of yet more worthy vo-taries of the teaching profession. Underclassmen, ye have heard and ye have seen. "Go thou and do likewise." 241 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 242 ---------- 242 Calendar CALENDAR Of all sad words Of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, "You're late again." September 6.

At last the date was really set, On April twenty-two they met, At half past five, though cold and bleak, The Senior girls would take their "sneak." 'Twas then they met at Elk and Holly, Eighty strong, all gay and jolly. Eleven of the faculty Were there for chaperons, you see. No man in sight who wore a star, They took possession of a car, On many sports their minds were bent, And straightway for White City went. While on their journey out that way They found there were two teams to play. For basketball all were prepared, They shed their skirts and no one cared,, For all had worn their bloomer suits And either tennis shoes or boots. Now they had planned Toad Lake should be That chilly morn their destiny. Two miles to walk through wet and bog, They made it at a right good jog. They had been told a field they'd find; 'Twas full of holes of every kind. Some people it would sure disgust; Believe me, they were not nonplussed. They chose their captains then and there And for a game they did prepare. Baseball, it was the first event, And at it with a will they went. For captains, Willoughby and Mead Were master hands, all did concede. 'Tis said they fractured every rule Of Annapolis and West Point school. Annapolis the game did win, Amid much laughter, shout and din. By this time they were hungry girls, While o'er the fire the smoKe wreath curls. Miss Ormsby boiled the eggs, you see (This is the fact as told to me) Right with the coffee o'er the fire. (Perhaps you think that I'm a liar) It was a shocking situation, She is so strict on sanitation. Each girl a drinking cup had carried, And for the coffee now they tarried. Then came the race for buns and bacon. H. Beardsley wished some lunch she'd taken. Then while resting, breakfast over, They really felt themselves in clover. Next came the program of the day, For they had many games to play. At lifting weights they had a test, And Nickerson won out the best. And then the races were begun; We were assured 'twas jolly fun. And as a signal when to run The bravest fired off the gun. And Captain Mead, though very tired, Made one grand jump when It was fired. The races were of every kind; Leap frog is one I call to mind. At basketball they had a bout; "West Point has won!" Miss Mead did shout. Kannekkeberg won the one mile feat; E. Sherman at the half mile beat; The quarter mile, H. Beardsley first; 'Twas said with pride she nearly burst, Followed close by McCown and Gray, Both tired out, I heard them say. At climbing cliffs Miss Myers tried. She won renown at Toad Lake's side. Miss Bestor had the record fall, About three hundred feet in all. Just scratched her watch, the story ran. You may believe it if you can. And now among this jolly crowd A good photographer was allowed. McCarthy many pictures took; Perhaps you'll find them in this book. They kept strict count of all the games, The winners and their captain's names, And when at last the sports were done The West Point team the cup had won. But Willoughby got even for that; She put skunk cabbage on Mead's hat. The jolly party, though stiff and lame, But quite conceited, homeward came. And now who told me I'm not sayin', But for the facts see Miss McMahan. -A. L. ROWE.

Tou can spell! Can you WVRITE-a rapid, easy, clear-as-print, practical hand? If you cannot DO THAT, if you do not KNOW HOW, yourself, you can never TEACH writing when the occasion arises. Perhaps we can be of real service to YOU. The A. N. Palmer Co. is the best equipped organization in the world for teaching the teacher. \Ve train more than thirty thousand teachers a year, and we are therefore doing more than all other agencies combined to reconstruct and make reasonably good the writing of pupils in elementary schools. To any Normal College student, who is going out to teach, a skillful training in the mechanics and pedagogy of muscular-movement writing may prove to be a valuable business asset. The Palmer Method Normal Course by Correspondence is the medium by which the Palmer Method Plan is made just as available for rural schools as for city schools, and equally accessible to students who enroll in any quarter of the world. The instruction is so precise and thorough and so specifically directed to the par-ticular needs of each student, that failure is imposible if the directions are followed with strict fidelity. The regular fee for the Complete Normal Course by Correspond-ence is $10. One year is allowed in which to complete the course. o The Course is offered free of charge to all teachers who adopt the Palmer Method and provide their pupils with individual copies of the PALMER METHOD OF BUSINESS WRITING for the third grade and above, or of WRITING LESSONS FOR PRIMARY GRADES. These Palmer Method Manuals are complete treatises of practical writing. The lessons are sequential, providing for review and conducing to : rapid progress. A Resident Palmer Method School, op en the year round, is maintained at 30 Irving Place, New York City. This school affords special facilities for the training of teachers who aspire to become Writing Supervisors. It also helps to place its graduates in good positions. WTRITE US FOR PARTICULARS.

His subject was "The Way to Universal Peace." Dr. Jordan is one of the world's leaders in the movement for universal peace. He said that the blame for the wars that come can be laid at the door of the landed aristocracy, the nobility and the wealthy, who are exploiters of weaker nations. He declared that a small clique of military conspiritors plunged Germany into the present struggle, much against the wishes of Kaiser Wilhelm. There is a military caste in all the warring nations. Dr. Jordon believes that a democracy is stronger than an autocracy. A government like that of the United States cannot well be overthrown, since it rests on a hundred million pillars and it is impossible that any majority of these pillars can at one time be undermined or rotten. An empire, on the other hand, rests on one, or, at the most, a few pillars, and will inevitably fall as soon as those few supports become weak. It is for this reason that we may look forward to radical changes in European governments when the war shall end. The following day, in assembly, Dr. Jordan talked on Mexico. He has traveled in Mexico, studied the country, and knows much about the conditions there. He gave something of mie history of the trouble in that unfortunate country, and discussed the pres-ent status of the war there. To the person who has formed his opinions of Mexico from the average newspaper and magazine, this talk was very illuminating. He brought out the justice of the cause of the Constitutionalists, and at the same time the pur-pose of the rebels. Right is not all on one side. Dr. Jordan made a powerful impression on the students. He has a pleasing personality and an air if simplicity and sincerity. He is kind, truly democratic, and approachable to all. The crud-est and humblest of Stanford's students always found in him an interested friend. On the lecture platform he is simple in de-livery. He has a play of wit, very subtle, but exceedingly human. Dr. Jordan is ranked as America's greatest ichtyologist, and one of the most eminent scientists. His field of work covers, also, that of assayist, geographer, poet, scholar, teacher, administrator and writer of children's stories. During the last few years he has devoted most of his time to the promotion of peace and is known all over the world as a leader in this movement. [I- 1 L-3. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 33 ---------- Ce Function of Art in Life Believing that there are many who would wish to preserve something of the splendid address, delivered this year to the stu-dents by Dr. Suzzallo, of the University of Washington, we give the main thoughts in brief form. Man is so small when we think of him in relation to the uni-verse, yet if he obey the spiritual, moral, and physical laws, op-portunities come many times when conditions in the world about him may be changed. Besides the something of the creature which we find in man, there is something divine-he is half creator. In one case, he makes himself over. All life is a choosing, a disciplining, in order that an individual may fit his environment. Numerous phases of life may be recreated to insure more pleasing surroundings. The function of art is to make life effi-cient-- at its best to bring the beauties of life to sight. Continued striving for the congenial and pleasing things, and the desire to make them permanent, will satisfy the higher planes of nature. A true artist in life always picks out the best and leaves the rest-sees art in every walk in life-in every endeavor. Literary expression is likewise extremely important, in as much as words associate beauty-they bring up the aesthetic. Words are the most wonderful coins by which we pay our way into the enchantments of life. The appreciation of beauty in lit-erature can transform our existence to another-one era to an-other. Then, too, the function of art is to look on the realities of the world, to see what is ugly, change and enhance beauty in every possible way. The true gentlemen and ladies of life are those that see some beauty in everything-who emphasize that which is con-genial or desirable. Art might be said to fall into two general classes-great art, and beautiful art. Often in a scene or landscape there is much of beauty, with little ugliness to hush- this is beautiful art. But great art can deal with an ugly subject, bringing beauty from something possessing little. The sculptor who produced that great work of Laacoon and his sons, was a master hand. In our daily life, great art is the dealing with stubborn, difficult situations, and finding beauty in them. Art follows us everywhere-it should be universal. Let us be devotees of perfect art at all times, growing through our indi-vidual choices, training our emotions through our actions. Beauty is idealized reality, and art is realized idealism, so all may become "fine artists" in life. CV0A ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 34 ---------- Is Poetry Important? On February 26 Edmund Vance Cooke, the well known American poet and lecturer, gave in our Auditorium a delightful program from his own writings. It is seldom that the qualities of good reader and writer are so excellently combined as is the case of Edmund Vance Cooke. His rare bits of philosophy are priceless. His easy conversational manner of rendering his poems is pleasing. Despite the fact that "I am a popular man," which is the stamp impressed upon his every movement, we as mere students accept this as a blessing rather than a fault. While reciting the "Little Tot Lyrics," Mr. Cooke succeeded in taking us conventional, matter of fact grown-ups back to child-hood days. We were most forcefully impressed by his keen in-terpretation of "When Company Comes." Mr. Cooke gave some good character work in his "Fin de Siecle." This sketch gave a peculiar view of life, as interpreted by an erratic, pessimistic, hopeless Englishman. The horizon of life lay very near his monacle, which by the way was worn only on one eye. We felt that the same character was not sustained all through the selection, though we grant that on the whole the interpretation was very clever. We regretted the time so lavishly spent on the minor groups of Mr. Cooke's program which could have been so well utilized on the "Rimes of Real Religion" and the "Larger Nationalism." In dealing with the former, Mr. Cooke expressed some of his choice philosophy regarding "Real Religion," or in exact summary: "Every man's religion is the best possible religion, providing it is his." "The Larger Nationalism" was probably the most appreciated group. The individual poems that struck the high notes of deep feeling, and true understanding were "Each for All" and the "Un-common Commoner." Mr. Cooke left this message with us: "Patriotism is like charity; it covers a multitude of sins and should be a world-wide interest." n r ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 35 ---------- School Calendar September 5-Registration.

IL3 YO A.L ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 39 ---------- TJMEiTnt 4ee.I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 40 ---------- r bI SAM E. CARVER Director of Men's Athletics ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 41 ---------- FOOTBALL On the morning of September 12, the following notice was read and posted in the Normal: "First Football Turnout at 4:10." Coach Sam Carver, after a summer tutorage under some of the best coaches in California, was eager to have the football season open, and have his plans of the year put in operation. With a spirit that is characteristic of success, twenty-five men reported at 4:10 and received football equipment for the year. From the opening of the season until the close, November 11, the athletic field was plowed and tramped by the ambitious huskies of the school. Through rain, snow, or sunshine they practiced determinedly and diligently in their efforts of giving the Normal school a worthy representative on the football field. The sound of the pigskin as they were kicked or clutched to their breasts, in the first week's practice, brought to many the happy realization that they were active and alive. A few weeks of tackling and run-ning with the ball made all the players respect the qualities of mother earth, but it also put them in the pink of condition, and with another week's signal and scrimmage practice the players eagerly awaited the opening of the season. The football squad of 1916 was characterized by the co-oper-ative, willing, happy spirit of all the candidates for positions on the team. This spirit imbibed with fighting and staying qualities and guided by stellar coaching made the B. S. N. S. football team the greatest non-conference machine in the Northwest. Seven games were played and the B. S. N. S. scored a total of 348 points to their opponents' 42. B. S. N. S. 80-FERNDALE 0 Ferndale High School was the first team to feei the cutting edge of Coach Carver's machine. The game was played on the Normal athletic field and witnessed by a large crowd, who were eager to see the team in action. While the offensive power of the team was all one could wish, it was weak in breaking up forward passes, Ferndale completing six out of a dozen attempts at the pass-ing game. The Normal line held like a stone wall and opened wide gaps for the fast, hard-hitting backfield men, resulting in the Normal scoring 80 points to Ferndale's 0. The Normal showed itself to be a splendid, fighting, eleven-man team, evenly balanced from end to end. B. S. N. S. 50-ANACORTES 0 Playing in Anacortes, after an eventful trip on a small boat in rough weather, the B. S. N. S. team snowed under their lighter opponents by a score of 50 to 0. The game was rather slow in IY D ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 42 ---------- gt; 0d c N31 1 42V ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 43 ---------- places, due in a large measure to the physical condition of the players after the trip on the water. Nevertheless, the game was hard played with the Normal showing marked improvement. B. S. N. S. 25- EVERETT 7 The game with Everett was the game that every player made up his mind to win. The good- natured slogan that urged the play-ers on, when tired and bruised, throughout the early season's practice, was, "Beat Everett." At two-thirty B. S. N. S. came on the field with a set determin-ation which could not be denied. Eleven players with one thought were eager to clash with their most formidable opponents. With the sound of the whistle the team swung into action and in less than five minutes had crossed Everett's goal for a touchdown. From whistle to whistle the contest was bitterly fought, brawn and skill against brawn and skill. The Normal would not be denied, however, and crossed Everett's goal four times, making a total of 25 points, including one goal kick. Everett's score came during the last two minutes of play when the Normal weakened for a moment, resulting in its goal being crossed. The score, made by B. S. N. S. against Everett is the largest that any Bellingham team has made in the history of athletic relations between the two cities. MOUNT VERNON ATHLETIC CLUB 21-B. S. N. S. 7 The victory over Everett caused some of the players to ease up in their efforts and fail to appear for scrimmage. There being only eleven men reporting for practice, no practice could be had and in consequence, when the team journeyed to Mount Vernon they fell a victim to over confidence and the athletic club. Dur-ing the first few minutes of play Mount Vernon completely be-wildered the Normal with a series of clever plays, ably directed by Coach Jenne. Mount Vernon scored before the teams were warmed up and thus got the jump on the Normal. The athletic club proved to be a fighting aggregation and played great ball while the Normal's playing was marked by spasmodic efforts and fumbling. During the last few minutes Normal hit her pace and with machine-like preciseness marched down the field for a touch-down. The Normal team used the forward pass to good advant-age in the making of their only score. Coupled with the discomfort of being defeated, when they were not in condition, came the news that E. Davis would be out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. B. S. N. S. 46--COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 0 Smarting with defeat and eager to show what brand of football they were capable of playing, the B. S. N. S. invaded Tacoma and O D-A =, - - ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 44 ---------- played in the Stadium against their old rivals, C. P. S. Every man resolved to play his best and gave all he had, in his efforts to up-hold the colors of his Alma Mater. Commenting upon the game, the Tacoma Ledger says: "With every cog running smoothly, the well-built and well-operated football machine of the State Normal School of Belling-ham scored a 46 to 0 victory in the Stadium over the College of Puget Sound. The superiority of the team play exhibited by the pedagogs entitled them to the victory by the margin indicated. The Bellingham players developed interference that would have been baffling to much more experienced players. Gaffney ran the team with a smoothness and precision that would give battle to almost any Northwestern combination." B. S. N. S. 6-ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0 Playing on the Normal grounds in a sea of mud, Coach Car-ver's combination proved themselves masters of the best Anacortes had to offer. Anacortes fought hard and played to the best of its ability but were no match for the Normal crushing machine. Pounding Anacortes' line hard, the Normal put over a touchdown a few minutes after the game started. From then on it was a battle for the survival of the fittest and the Normal proved to be the stronger in the arts of surviving, sliding, falling and in the ability of hanging on to the elusive, water-soaked pigskin. The game was featured by brilliant open-field runs, terrific line smashes, and an ever-advancing Normal line. B. S. N. S. 78-COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 14 To some members of the team this was the last game of foot-ball; to other members it was the last of the seasonl916, so all en-deavored to have the score carved out in numerals to their liking. Most of the players were satisfied with the score of 78 to 14, as they know that the numerals are difficult to carve. The Normal team played straight football and pounded over twelve touchdowns. The visiting team made their touchdowns by completing a forward pass and then gaining by intercepting a Normal forward pass. The ground was as hard as cement and partly covered with ice, which made time out for injuries frequent. The game was well played and the team left the field in a cloud of glory, to leave their suits to be filled by those to come in the future. Certainly the Normal is proud of its 1916 football team, whose efforts have resulted in the most successful football season in the history of the school.

Games were played with some of the best teams in this part of the Northwest. Whatcom High, interscholastic champions of the state, considered the Normal team as out of and above her class, so no game was played between these two rivals. Games were also scheduled with the University of Washington and Whitman College, but failed to materialize be-cause the bigger schools at the last moment changed their plans and refused to clash with the husky blue and white squad. We were naturally disappointed, as our aspirations were high, but devoting and directing our energy and skill to the downfall of other teams, we succeeded in winning nine straight games. The squad was made up of seven husky, fighting, never-stop-ping basket- caging artists, each one a star at his position. These seven, chosen from a field of thirty, were moulded into a well-nigh perfect machine, by the excellent coaching of Coach Carver, and proved its worth by failing to crack, no matter how strong the opposition brought against it. The teamwork of the squad was somewhat hampered by the smallness of our gym, but when put on a strange, large floor, as in Vancouver, the teamwork was unrestrained and the fans wit-nessed an ideal basketball game, clean, fast, furious and exciting. The team played in great form when away from home and stamped its brand of quality as invaders by defeating Everett 47 to 29 and the Prosser Athletic Club, the pride of Eastern Wash-ington, by a score of 45 to 18.

When ball meets bat the baseball diamond is turned into a movie; nine nervous, active, restless men move in a general direction with the idea of getting the ball and prevent-ing runs, while the batter dashes madly to first base. This mov-ing picture was seen when the B. S. N. S. baseball team crossed bats with some of the best amateur ball teams in the Northwest this spring. Early in March, with the appearance of a warm spring sun, came the annual call for baseball material. Twenty likely candi-dates responded to the first turn-out for practice on the Sehome grounds. With two weeks' practice came the weeding process, which resulted in fourteen well-qualified ball tossers receiving suits. The team was made up of former high school stars and promised to develop into a speedy aggregation under the capable leadership of Captain Wright. Shobert of Ridgefield had every-thing his own way as far as the backstop man and held down in fine form the swift and difficult balls of Pitchers Stevens, Dish-man, and Breuer. The infield, made up of "Ora" Sitton at first, "Rube" Wagner at second, "Bud" Rairdon at third, and Captain Wright at short, proved fast and sure. They fielded like leaguers. In the outer garden Jess White, "Hal" Wold and "Kid" Karlson seemed to have steady berths, while Washke and Lee acted as subs. On account of the war, games were difficult to arrange, but the following games appear on the season's list: Two games with Blaine, two with Whatcom High, one with Bremerton, and one with Burlington. B S N S 4-RBL.AINE 3 Bunching hits and h Normal team to change a to\rCy~ -over the fast, hard-it ting at the critical moments enabled the threatened defeat into a well-earned vic-hitting Blaine nine. Although the field -Y ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 54 ---------- ,- MFM , ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 55 ---------- was heavy and slow, the game was well played and replete with sensational fielding. Air-tight ball was played for seven innings, when Wright broke into the run-getting column by hitting a single and later scoring on an overthrow to third. Blaine came back in the eighth and scored another, giving them a total of three. With the score standing 3 to 1 against them, the Normal players came to bat determined to do their best. Wold was hit with a pitched ball and Sitton hit safe to right field, scoring Wold and reaching third. Sitton scored the needed run, on an infield play, which tied the score. Blaine failed to score in the tenth inning. In the last of the tenth Shobert was hit with a pitched ball and scored the winning run when White smashed out a two-base hit into left field. The features of the game were the errorless fielding of the Normal outfield and the pitching of Bruns, the visiting slabman, who whiffed eleven men and allowed only three hits. Stevens and Dishman twirled effectively for the Normal. TRACK Despite the military recruits and unfavorable weather condi-tions, the B. S. N. S. track squad practiced faithfully and diligently this year. Beginning cross-country runs early in March the squad soon got into condition and by May were a worthy representative of the school in field and track events. Track meets were arranged with Whatcom High and Mount Vernon High during the early part of May. Those who upheld the honor of the school in this branch of athletics were the following: Shobert, Horst, Haracich, Autrieth..................50- and 100-yard dashes E .

JUNIOR SECOND TEAM Klassall Merriman Hagen Jackson Tyler 60 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 61 ---------- GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls' athletics have been unusually successful at Normal this year. A greater variety of athletics has been offered than ever before, i. e., hockey, basketball, swimming, baseball and ten-nis. To Miss Nickerson, and her assistant, Miss Skalley, who have worked untiringly for us throughout the year, is due most of the credit for the fine sportsmanship and showing made by the girls. To every girl in the school this year has come an oppor-tunity to partake in some form of athletics. Those who have not availed themselves of this opportunity have missed an immeasur-able amount of fun and good fellowship. HOCKEY On October 7, a meeting for all senior girls interested in hockey was called. The girls responded so well that regular practice periods were organized under the supervision of Miss Nickerson. On pleasant days the hockey field was a scene of ex-citement from early till late. The girls were a little disappointed, however, in not being able to play class games, owing to the fact that the rainy season set in earlier than usual last fail. BASKETBALL Basketball has this year, as always before, been the main event for the girls. Here the teams representing the various classes are given a chance to clash for the class honors. A series of games is arranged in which each team gets an opportunity to meet an opposing team three times during the year. The team winning the most games has its name and the date engraved on the Kline cup. This is considered a tremendous honor and is the cause of much speculation as to the winning team. On November 1, the girls organized and decided to play modi-fied boys' rules. The girls began practicing with a vim and from the first until the last game the gym was a scene of lively ac-tivity. A captain and manager were chosen to represent each team: Bernadine Hilliard, captain; and Genie Watrous, manager of the Senior team; Lydia Nichols, captain, and Elizabeth Arnold man-ager of the Junior team; Ethel McKinnon, captain, and Vida Deigh, manager of the Elementary team. The following schedule was arranged: January 31-Senior 27; Elementary 3. February 2-Senior 17; Junior 13. February 7-Junior 45; Elementary 7. February 16-Senior 12; Junior 13. February 28-Senior 15; Junior 17.

Appleton, Spuri-geon, Sickenger, Brotnov, Day. Sitting-Gassler, Jacobson. Although all teams played well and showed splendid training, it was evident early in the season that the contest would be be-tween the Juniors and Seniors. The first game between the Juniors and Seniors ended in a score of 17 to 13 in favor of the Seniors. The Seniors were more experienced and showed better team work. Instead of being discouraged, the Juniors began diligent prac-tice and brought up their team work until they were able to de-feat their Senior rivals by a score of 13 to 12 in the second game. With the score close in each game and each class with one victory to its credit the excitement grew intense. As the crowd began to gather the Juniors were placed on one side of the gym and the Seniors on the other. The whistle blew at 7:30 o'clock the night of February 28, and the game was on that was to decide the fate of the Kline cup. Both teams were equally matched in ability. For what the Seniors lacked in size they made up in quickness. Every girl on the teams played a fast, cool, and above all, clean game. The game ended in a score of 17- 15 in favor of the Juniors. It was indeed a pleasure to see the excellent manner in which the Senior girls took their defeat. It might be only fair to mention that the Seniors had a total of more points in the three games than the Juniors. These teams are without a doubt the closest matched that have ever played for the Kline cup. Im- !~l - ._..3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 64 ---------- mediately after the game a spread was given to the basketball girls. Here many good snapshots were taken of the girls as they eagerly devoured the cake, candy and other dainties, which had not been allowed to them during the training period. It is the Senior basketball girls who will put their shoulders to the wheel in time of need. Was it not the basketball girls who got up and caught the 6:45 car to the south side April 14, walked all the way to Chuckanut, and marked both trails up the mountain for the Marathon? Why did they pick on the basketball girls, you say? Because they could be depended upon. As a finale for the basketball season the girls gave a party to the Junior girls at the home of Lydia Nichols, captain of the Junior team. LETTER GIRLS Seniors-Bernadine Hilliard, Jennie Kelley, Clara Hefty, Til-lie Hoyer, Freda Layton, Cosby Jackson, Leona Edmonds, Camilla Witte, Genie Watrous, Lucile Herrett. .Juniors-Elizabeth Eghert, Elizabeth Arnold, Esther Klasell, Mabel Newell, Carrie Morrow, Ruby Morgenthaler, Eva Tyler. BASEBALL As soon as bas-ketball was over in-door baseball was begun. More than one Senior has beeni heard to boast tha, the Seniors can de-feat the Juniors ini this. Of course time will settle the ques-tion but we all sin-cerely hope these t wo classes will again be given the opportunity to match their strength. TENNIS Owing to the late-ness of the season tennis was slow in starting. 'Tis sel-dom, however, in April and May that the courts were va-cant. No matter how busy students were they were able to find a few min-utes for tennis. Some exciting con-tests took place. KLINE CUP ELIZABETH JONES. II ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 65 ---------- LYJ 65 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 66 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club The Thespian Club has always stood for achievement and this year it has more than proved a worthy claim-and for that honor. One excellent sample of what the Thespians are doing and can do was the play, "The House Next Door," further mention of which is made elsewhere in this book. The programs of the year have given evidence of originality on the part of the program com-mittee and diligent preparation by the participants. The follow-ing are some of the particularly enjoyable programs, though to do justice to the excellence of them all the entire numbers should be mentioned. The variety and quality of the impromptu responses given on initiation evening were prophetic of the good work the members were capable of doing. The "An Evening with Riley," consisting of readings of the noted poet's various works, a paper on the life of Riley and vocal and piano numbers proved a varied and en-joyable program. "The Bluebird," dramatized by club members and preceded by a study of its author's life, resulted in a keener appreciation of the beauty of Maeterlinck's style. Elaborate plans for the mid-year banquet at the Leopold cul-minated in a most delightful evening of good fellowship and the even more elaborate plans being made for the banquet the latter part of May give promise of a truly Thespian atmosphere when present and past members will "gather round the festive board" and forget dull care. The banquets of the year are not the only Ua t I- Ir Ir 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 67 ---------- truly social dates in the Thespian calendar, for many of the jolly times spent in the cafeteria after the meetings have provided ample proof that a most efficient refreshment committee presided over "the department of the interior." The truly patriotic program commemorating the anniversaries of Washington's and Lincoln's birth, consisting of the reading of "I Knew Lincoln," colonial tableaux, humorous and dramatic readings, etc., was another "red letter" evening of the year. Several clever sketches have been given at different evenings during the year, but one evening particularly memorable in that line was the "Evening with Dickens," when three exceedingly worthy sketches taken from works of Dickens were given. Ap-propriate stage setting, costumes of the time and a very old Eng-lish atmosphere prevailed. One evening the mysteries of the "movies," trick pictures, the history of the movies, impersonation of "movie" stars, and a three-reel drama itself further enlightened the members as to the im-portance of the new art. Old members are always more than welcome at programs, but they are thrice welcome when they provide such an excellent evening of entertainment as that provided by Thespian Alumni on the evening of April 5th. So, as we glance back over the year, we cannot but feel a thrill of pride in our club and its accomplishments and we are led to extend a vote of thanks to our faculty advisor, Mr. Hoppe, who has so ably guided the club to success, a vote of appreciation also to our faculty members, Miss Edens, Miss Skalley and Mr. Hughes, and three rousing cheers for Thespians, past, present aand future! t32 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 68 ---------- Philo Recollections for "1917" A stormy night, a cozy fireplace, and father and mother-it was all that was necessary for a fleeting trip into the past. Father started it as he sat staring at the crackling logs and listen-ing to the wind howling around the corner of the house. "Mother," he said, taking off his spectacles, "you haven't for-gotten that this is the week of the Philo Birthday Party?" If mother had not heard this question every November for years past, she might have evinced some surprise. Instead, she continued darning stockings and remarked, "Why, no, I was just thinking of it myself." Father leaned forward a little in his chair and gazed deeper into the flames. A little smile curled the corners of his mouth as he said, "My, how I like to think back to that good old year of nineteen seventeen. Don't you remember that first get-together picnic the Philos had at Whatcom Falls. How queer and lonesome we felt at first and then how we got mixed up in spite of ourselves and had the time of our lives." "Wasn't that the night Grace Foster brought fried chicken?" ventured mother. "Yes, it must have been, for don't you remember how fast it disappeared and we found that Gerald Van Horn was storing it away under the table, probably to devour later? It seems to me something queer happened on the car going home, but I can't just place it." Mother asserted herself again. "It was Mr. Troth. He per- 68 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 69 ---------- formed marvelous gymnastics over some of those poor car seats." "Why, yes, yes," smiled father. "That young rascal was al-ways up to something.' "I know one thing that still makes my heart beat faster." Mother so far forgot herself as to lay down her darning. "It was at the Philo initiation, when we girls found ourselves clinging frantically and unavoidably to the neck of gallant John Estes. Oh, it was awful, especially for the short ones." "That wasn't anything," pooh poohed father, "we boys actu-ally experienced the sensation of a drowning man. I was begin-ning to meditate blissfully on the future life when they pulled my head out of that tub of cold water." Mother's eyes twinkled suspiciously. "It must have been ter-rible, but I'll have to admit it did my heart good to see Mr. Potter's composure ruffled. His hair took to the water so nicely." Father meditated some time before answering. "Well, we surely did have same good eats in spite of the torture, but say, mother, you missed one of the dandiest times. Wasn't it during the Christmas holidays that Miss Jensen entertained the club so beau-tifully?" "Yes," came ruefully from mother, "but there was only one girl there. She had so much attention paid her that night she hasn't recovered since. I didn't miss the Valentine party anyway," she added. "Wasn't that the most fun? I believe I have my Valen-tine yet." Sa ..... i~l ~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 70 ---------- Mother, stated Dad in a solemn tone, "something about that party has always worried me. Do you recall that yarn Miss Al-mond told about her funniest proposal? I never could decide whether or not that was supposed to be true." "Well," admitted mother, "I don't know about that, but I al-ways felt that Mr. Johnson didn't especially enjoy that part of the program. "Do you know," she added, changing the subject, "I heard some one sing 'Mighty Lak a Rose,' the other day and I couldn't help remembering how we used to enjoy hearing Miss Meyers sing that. She always put in so much expression, I thought." "I believe the best times of all were those jolly picnics we had along in the spring. They were great." Father enthusiastically sat erect. "Yes, and above everything, don't forget the week end. That was best of all," championed mother. The wind outside reminded father of the cold and he ener-getically poked the logs till they crackled and sputtered. As he settled back in his chair, the firm lines of his face, which time and experience had placed there, chased away the smiles of recollec-ltion. "But seriously, mother, I have always felt that the training I got in the Philo programs and business meetings has been one of the big things in my life. It has helped me over so many rough places." "I know," whispered mother, laying her hand softly over his, "I have been proud of you more than once just because you knew exactly what to do and say at the right time." Father changed the subject abruptly. "We had some mighty distinguished people in our club that year. Let me see: There were Smith Carleton, president of the Student Association for the next year; Miss Welch, Editor of the Klipsun; Miss Mottman, li-brarian, and-" Mother filled in as he stopped for breath, "Mr. Baughman, manager of the book store; Mr. Troth, treasurer of the Senior class; Mr. Bean, president of the Junior class, and oh, dozens of others," she finished. "In fact," stated father stoutly, "I have never met a more loyal, more dependable bunch of folks. They all lived up to the motto, 'Once a Philo, always a Philo,' and of course," he added shyly, "I mustn't forget when I met you." Mother's eyes grew a little misty. Then, with a sunny smile, "You won't forget to mail that check tomorrow for the Philo Birthday Present." By BERNICE WINEMILLER. UI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 71 ---------- Studio Art Club The first few weeks of the school year were indeed busy ones, but we could not remain long on Sehome Hill without being im-pressed with the beauty of the surroundings, the ever changing vistas of the snow-crowned monarchs of the North, the clear, in-tense blue of the bay, and the marvelously brilliant sunsets. In-spired by the graudeur, is it any wonder that those interested in portraying nature found themselves, early in October, planning the organization of a club in which they could gratify this desire? This they proceeded to do and as a result, in the atelier meet-ings on Saturday mornings, have taken the practical work of char-coal and pencil rendering, water color technique, still life, sketch-ing from the model in pose, and outdoor sketching. So enthusi-astic did the workers often become that they had to be literally driven home to lunch. But as if this was not enough for the gay daubers, they devoted one night each month to art appreciation, not forgetting the gentle art of driving dull care away. Who will forget our Christmas jollification, with its clever surprises? Or the merry little valentine party; not to mention the grand old sketch-ing expeditions, where Miss Bisazza roasted our masterpieces, while we roasted weinies? At our banquet, the talent of the club was displayed in ways other than through the medium of the brush. Through the combined interest and efforts of our members and advisors, the Studio Club work has progressed with much suc-cess and real pleasure. Much of our inspiration and club spirit has been a result of Miss Bisazza's enthusiasm and conscientious ef- YOr ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 72 ---------- forts to instruct and advise us in all our undertakings. Miss Druse has also encouraged and guided us. Our officers have performed their duties loyally and are worthy of much praise and admiration. We only hope that next year the Studio Club will continue to live, be active, and exert even a wider influence than we have this year. To this end, we leave them the following: RECIPE FOR A MASTERPIECE Take all available inspiration and mix thoroughly with en-thusiasm the size of a bean, six ounces of energy and a cup and a half of intrepidation. To three steps of hesitation, (Preparation, Presentation, and Summary), add gradually by drops, a drop and a half of perspiration. Add sixty seconds of meditation and mix thoroughly with two hours of concentrated effort. Add a dash of pep (this is essential!). Place over club spirit and stir constantly with a mahl stick, until it reaches the boiling point of exasperation. Remove quickly, stir in a brushful of originality and flavor with essence of personality to taste. Turn out in paint pan moulds and place in the cooler (Room 306) from ten to twelve on Saturday morning. Garnish with futurist colors cut in cubist shapes. Stand back with contemplation and view with anticipation the realization of your "creation." This delectable production is guaranteed to tickle the palate of any connisseur. (The above proportions will serve generously, thirty insatiable club members). From the world (?) famous MONSIEUR (?)

Marshmallows and weinies were toasted around a huge bonfire and a general good time enjoyed. In October a Hallowe'en party was given in the Y. W. C. A. and Expression rooms under the leadership of Una Robinson. The evening was spent enjoying Hallowe'en games. Great excitement arose when "parts of the human body" were passed, and when the Gypsy foretold our future! How we were thrilled with the "Nursery Rhymes in Shadow Pictures!" We shall never forget the grand march to the cafeteria, where refreshments were served. Our next social event was the mixer of the Seattle and Ta- coma Clubs. This mixer was a huge success. First there was a program by both clubs in the Philo room, followed by a rush to the basement where everybody had to "shoot the chutes" to the large gymnasium. The gymnasium echoed with loud cheers and hilarity as Seattle won a victory over the Tacoma people in a lively, rousing indoor baseball game. After the game followed the Vir-ginia reel and folk dances. Before leaving ice cream and wafers were served to us at the refreshment booth in a miniature forest. Our first social event of the second semester was a Valentine party. The rooms were decorated with red hearts and cupids. New and appropriate games were enjoyed during the evening. In April another beach party at Squalicum Beach was a splen-did success. The year has been full of work and pleasure, and since many of the club members are Seniors, they wish the Seattle Club suc-cess in its future years and hope they may be as full of fun and gaiety to its new members as the past year has been to them.

OHIYESA Although the Ohiyesa Literary Society is one of the younger societies of the school, having sprung into existence last Septem-ber, it can by no means be classed among the lesser organizations. Each charter member has worked faithfully to aid the society in becoming a "winner," as the Indian name Ohiyesa signifies. When vacancies have occurred during the year, new members have been voted in, who proved equally zealous to build up this society as a lasting organization of the Bellingham Normal. Miss Gray and Dr. Kirkpatrick, sponsors of Ohiyesa, have made possible through their good counsel and interest, much of the rapid growth and success of the year. Our program committee, with Mina Merrick as standing chairman, has proved most efficient in the arrangement of suit-able and interesting programs or entertainments for each regular meeting, and for several special occasions. Two initiations, followed by a program and refreshments, were held in the early part of each semester. In February, the society enjoyed a unique Valentine party, and in March "Saint Patrick" was remembered in word, song, and jest. A very effec-tive patriotic program was rendered at one of the meetings. The most impromptu affair of the year was the sleigh ride enjoyed by Ohiyesa and several invited guests, during the heavy snow. The form of entertainment on the way to Ferndale was predominately musical. On arriving at the destination, gustatory entertainment replaced the singing and when at the end of a very pleasant evening, the lights of Bellingham again appeared in the distance, we all wished that sleigh rides came more than once a year. On Thursday evening, March twenty-second, our president, Mrs. King, entertained the members of Ohiyesa with a house- E3 YO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 77 ---------- warming party in her new home. Every one present reported an exceptionally pleasant time. During a brief business meeting, it was decided to plant a bed of rhododendrons on the campus, in the name of the society. Members of Ohiyesa working together have attempted to lay a foundation which will uphold the future growth of the so-ciety. They have gained much in the carrying on of the activities, in the planning of ideas to be consummated in future years and in the friendships formed. Those members who go out of school this spring leave with a wish for the success of Ohiyesa, and may its standard always proclaim it in all its enterprises, "the winner." 0 1 = ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 78 ---------- 4 I: -- I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 79 ---------- Social Democratic Club While the B. S. N. S. as a whole has been boasting of.its size this year, the Social Democratic Club has, in a quiet way, broken its previous membership and attendance records. The membership roll for 1916-17 contains thirty-three names and nearly every meeting night has found Mrs. Termaat's eighth grade room well occupied. Visitors have been more than numer-ous and appreciative, as well as appreciated. While no regular subjects of study were mapped out this season, current topics of a political and economic nature have furnished the club with material for long talks, short talks, de-bates, discussions and-perhaps an occasional plain "argument." "Open Forum" has proved the most interesting and spirited section of the club work and has often kept the society in session long after bed-time. Some outsiders, who have made effective talks, are Judge Pemberton of Bellingham, Misses Smith and Taube, of the local Y. W. C. A., Mr. Hazzard, of Seattle, and Marius Hansome, ex-'14, who is famed as instrumental in the organization of the club here at Normal. Among questions formally debated were: Resolved, That Preparedness Does Not Tend to Peace; and Resolved, That an Embargo Should he Placed Upon Shipmeni of Food to Belliger-ents. The skeptical and ignorant were inclined to believe "Social- Dems" incapable of merry-making, but this season they have been well convinced. Four rollicking good times are the proof. The first was an "election" party "out on 21st street;" the second, a Christmas jollification, with tree and trimmings, at the home of Mrs. Termaat and Miss Drake; next came the Valentine party, where Starr Sutherland won a submarine race, and then the in-formal luncheon honoring Mr. Hansome. The 1916-17 Social-Dems are particularly proud of their fac-uly members, Mrs. Termaat, Miss Drake, Dr. Herre and Mr. Bever. Each one has given loyal support to the programs and parties and has proved himself (or herself) as good a playmate as the young-est student.

Our vitality fairly froze in our veins, we groped about in utter darkness, but suddenly we beheld a brilliant light, and there before us we saw a sight that warmed the cockles of our frozen hearts. A delicious Hallowe'en spread of pumpkin pies, cider, apples, and candy witches blazed before us. Our Valentine party was a huge success. Many were the tender verses composed on that evening, gently the soft murmur of the Valentine spirit spread through the playroom. On this night our hearts were in perfect tune. The literary side of our organization has been emphasized the past year. We have been fortunate in having for our sponsor Mr. Glenn Hughes who is an author and play producer of marked ability. Under his guidance we have studied mo(lern literature and modern writers. At one of our meetings Mr. Hughes gave an interesting lecture on Russian Literature, and read some delightful sketches from the renowned Russian author, Turgenieff. We were delighted to have Miss Edens give us her point of view concerning Walt Whitman, James Oppenheim, Louis Unter-meyer, and Alfred Noyes. She read selections from these poets giving a pleasing interpretation of the writings of each. This age is fairly tingling with wonderful poetry, it is brim-ming with life, it is pregnant with wonderfully fresh and new philosophy. We, the Aletheians, are moved by this strong current, and we are trying to conceive this world, and all its bigness, in a new and modern way. Spark Plug Club The students from Everett organized a social club, the first of February, and the name "Spark Plug," the prize slogan ol Ev-erett, was unanimously chosen by the thirty-five menmbers. The colors, blue and gold, were adopted. The officers chosen were: LUCILE HERRETT - - - - - - - - President MARION HOLLINSHEAD - - - - - Vice-President MARION SCHOFIELD - - - - Secrelary-Treasurer MIIss SKALLEY ---- Club Advisor The club hopes to be a permanent organization. The lack of time has not permitted a great number of social activities. The club has shown its energetic spirit by getting pins in the form of a spark plug, rates for spring vacation, giving a party, and going on a hike. RUBY BOBLETTE.

Our greetings to them are just a bit different! This feeling took a tangible shape in the early part of the school year when the Tacoma people at the Normal took up the work of the Tacoma Club of last year. The following officers were chosen as pilots during the first semester: HELEN B. EAGEN - . . . . . President ALICE DAILEY - - - - - - - Vice-President Avis WHISNER ---- Secretary-Treasurer FLORENCE DODGE - - Chairman Program Committee MISSES LEE, DAVIS, MORSE - - - - - Sponsors The club was organized purely for social purposes, and the parties were to be places of refuge where one could be merely "human." To accomplish this, all mental work was barred and at the first meeting the club enjoyed an old-fashioned peanut-stabbing apple-paring contest. Probably the most interesting event took place when the Ta-coma Club joined the Seattle Club in a party given between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The rivalry between the two or-ganizations added spice to the evening and also a feeling of good-will. At the close of the first semester the following officers were chosen to serve for the rest of the year: MARY DONALD ----- -- President HERBERT DA-IS -- -- - Vice-President RUTH MOORE - - - - - - Secretary-Treasurer HELEN HOLLINSHEAD - Chairman of Program Committee A beach party at Chuckanut closed the year's entertainment.

The Sourdough Club originated during the summer school of 1915 when, drawn by that mysterious influence which attracts all dwellers of the Northwest to their kind, the students from Alaska banded themselves together in a club to which they gave the name applied to all who have seen the ice come and go, in the Land of the Midnight Sun. All who are eligible to the title "Sourdough" are welcome to membership. At the beginning of the school year of 1916-17 the club was re-organized with the following officers: Mr. Wm. F. Parrish, Faculty Sponsor; Sara Lopp, President; Ruby Johnson, Treasurer. So well did these officials fulfill their duties that they were re-elected by acclamation for the second semester. Early in the year MIr. Parrish, with true Alaskan hospitality- Sourdoughs are famous cooks-entertained the club at his home. As an introduction and initiation, all members were required to tell the time, the place and the circumstances of their experience in the North. Later, a typical sourdough "feed" was given in the Y. W. C. A. room. Reminiscences and canned cow proved almost too much for several present. In the spring when the weather had reached Alaska stand-ards- there one can travel dry shod at least-the club, in mush-ing togs, stampeded to Miss Hayes' cabin on the lake. The tip was passed to several outsiders-"Chechakos"-Miss Hayes, Miss Woodard, Miss McCarthy and Mr. Olson, who joined the rush. No big strike was made, for prospecting was forgotten at sight of the grubstake. Aside from the social activities, the club, in order to meet the growing interest in, and to create an appreciation of the vast country it represents, arranged for a stereopticon lecture to be given in the auditorium for the benefit of the faculty and student body. Through the efforts of Miss Lopp, the services of Mr. An-drews, editor of the Alaska-Yukon Magazine, was secured. The pictures were so realistic that several fair members wept copious-ly during the performance.

S. N. S. having the requisite college training for club membership, have once more banded to- gether to further this friendship-forming opportunity, and to keep alive the college spirit of good fellowship. The activities of the club are purely social and afford relaxa-tion from the strain of our more arduous duties. 88 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 89 ---------- MIEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE CLUB There have been several enjoyable social affairs during the year. On the evening of November 9, the club gave a "College Jinks" in the Big Gym"-and "jinks" it was! The password was a grin, big and broad. One of the fun-affording games of the evening was a contest to determine whether there were any expert milliners present. Each person was given a large circle of crepe paper, in the club colors, together with a small paper of pins. He was then instructed to make a hat in ten minutes, at expiration of which the grand march was called. Such originality was displayed that the judges found it very difficult in deciding to which couple the prize should be awarded. The last number on the gym program was the supper march, when the partners were found by an unique device, which resulted in huge merriment later in the evening. Passing from the "big gym" to Miss McCown's sewing room, the College Club and its invited guests gathered around a prettily decorated mock banquet table. Instead of the usual banquet fare, the menu consisted of coffee, doughnuts, and apples. A series of amusing talks was given by faculty guests and members under the subject of "An Experience of My College Days." Dr. Nash "took the cake" with his "pie story." The evening closed in true college fashion, with songs and yells by the groups representing different colleges. The next function was the annual "College Club Banquet," held at the Leopold hotel, February twenty-third. The club mnem- ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 90 ---------- bers gathered in the reception room, and at 7:30 p. m. marched to the dining hall. Club colors were in evidence everywhere. Unique features of the banquet were the place and menu cards, the latter being booklets shaped like a tennis racquet. The toasts of the evening were extremely interesting, reflecting college spirit and life, both in title and substance. Before this article goes to press, two other events in the life of the club during this school year will have taken place. Two live committees worked for some time on a program for the first affair, a "hike," on April 20, in order that the "King of Mirth" might hold court. Those who have climbed Chuckanut, or taken some of the other good "hiking trips" about the bay- and what live B. S. N. S. student has not-need no further explanation. The second affair of the last part of the term, taking place May 11, will be a water trip to Reveille Islands, follewed by a beach party-"and the meal-the clams-covered over with sea sand divine." (See Browning). And so our club remains-an oasis in the desert of learning-a cozy corner where "Greek meets Greek," and renews the old time college spirit. "Then here's a hand, my trusty friend, And give a hand of thine, WVe'll give one good old college yell, For your college days, and mine." COLLEGE CLUB BANQUET ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 91 ---------- cAlkisiah Club In the spring of nineteen hundred six, the first society in this school that is still in existence, was formed under the helpful leadership of Miss Baker. To carry out the altruistic ideas of the club, it was called Alkisiah, the significance of which in Chinook is, "In the near future." True to its name, the club has always taken a vital interest in the present and near future. It has helped in a great many ways to prepare its members for their future work, especially in relation to women's clubs, the cultural, and all that is joyful in life. This spring the Alkisiahs were pleased greatly on receiving a hearty welcome into the Washington State Federation of Wo-men's Clubs, an organization that has accomplished wonders along all lines in which women are interested. In order that the Alkisiahs may keep in touch with state work the club plans on sending delegates to the State Federation meeting, June 20, at Spokane, who will report to the club on their return. During the eleven years of the society's existence, it has ac-accomplished a great many things, among which the production of Percy McKay's "Bird Sanctuary," in nineteen hundred fifteen was very important. It was most beautifully staged on the cam-pus knoll, among the fir trees, the home of the birds. Its presen-tation helped to carry out one of the club's ideals of making the Normal campus a home or sanctuary for all birds. An interesting custom each year has been to plant bulbs in the fall, selling them in full bloom, just before the Christmas holidays. This work awakens an interest in bulbs and flowers and is also ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 92 ---------- suitable for all schools. On Arbor day, joining in the work of the other clubs, the Alkisiahs planted a trailing white Wichuriana rose that will creep down over the northern terrace. For seven years the society has had an annual banquet, one of the most enjoyable events of the year, held on the Friday near-est Valentine's day. The large dining room of the Leopold Hotel was the banqueting hall for this year. When the club first met this school year it was found that there were only about twelve members, who had returned to school, so there were twenty-five invitations sent out, which brought the total membership up to thirty-eight. South America was chosen as the subject of study for the first semester and many exceedingly interesting programs were given, including talks on Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina The week before the Christmas vacation, the new members proved themselves to be very helpful by assisting Miss Baker as hostess to the club at her home. It was a true Christmas party with a tree and a real Santa Claus and presents for every one, which caused much hearty laughter. For the second semester, it was decided to take up as the special subject a study of some of the operas, including Tann-hauser, Faust, II Trovatore, Lucia de Lammermoor, Parsifal and Carmen. These studies have been very interesting and valuable. During the eleven years of the club's existence many intimate and lasting friendships have been made, and as the years roll on, the deep spirit of fellowship among the members and friends of the Alkisiah Club will remain in all hearts forever.

Those of us who know Bellingham know Lake Whatcom; those of us who know Lake Whatcom know Miss Hays' cabin. At least the H. L. S. girls do. Can you remember those thrilling clear moonlight nights on our beautiful Lake Whatcom? It was such a night, and in October. The moonbeams sparkled and danced about on the broad Whatcom mirror. The evergreens cast weird shadows in the water; the moon laughed through the trees and at us,-and at our faculty friends-\Misses Baxter, Nick-erson, Meade, and Morse. We wanted to become acq(uainted so we gathered around the tables which were placed about the porch of the cabin and enjoyed our delicious spread, our delightful "new" friends, and our beautiful, mystical Lake Whatcom. Our initiation is a stirring event. We shall not mention all that we know about it; we cannot speak of the nose races, aerial flights, and blood-curdling scenes of terrible warfare and living torture. Let us bury the past. We have had as many, and more, constructive events as we have had destructive. Our old English Christmas program which was given on the evening of December 21, our annual ban- quet, and our pleasant evenings with George Bernard Shaw, we shall never forget. We have added another link to the chain of years that encircle the friends and members of Hays Literary So-ciety.

This funda-mental purpose of the society is brought into play by practice in parliamentary law, extemporan-eous speaking, debate, and num-erous gatherings. Outside speak-ers have occasionally addressed the club upon topics of general interest to the coming rural teachers. The organization of the club differs somewhat in character from similar societies in the Nor-mal school in that it has one hundred active members and is divided into three divisions for sectional work. The first hour of the evening is spent in the sep-arate meetings of the sections, each having a club sponsor for drill in parliamentary law and debate. Each has a well organ-ized mock legislature. A chair-man and secretary are elected for each meeting, none serving twice. The sectional programs are plan-ned by a program committee, one member being selected from each section. The officers for the general meetings are chosen each quarter without the privilege of holding office more than once. The club feels itself especially favored in having for its spons-ors, three members of the faculty who are deeply interested in A FEW OF THE FARMERS rural work-Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond, and Mr. Hulse. Election time was the occasion of a political party program in U tJ r 0rD I| ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 97 ---------- which the various presidential candidates were cleverly imperson-ated by several club members. Mr. Dan Johnston represented Mr. Hughes in a manner which would have reflected credit upon the original himself. The other political candidates were Mr. Daven-port, representing Woodrow Wilson, who was perfect except for the hair; Mr. Parkins, representing the Prohibition candidate, Han-ley; and Mr. Hawkins, representing the Socialist candidate. A straw vote was taken, resulting in an overwhelming majority for Wilson with 46 votes, Hughes 13, Benson 13, and Hanley 3. A regular old fashioned Hallowe'en party, with witches and ghosts, was given late in October. A splendid program and games took up the evening, not to overlook the "Rural Life Special" or Virginia reel, which in its turn made the evening one never to be forgotten. Mr. Bond, one of our sagacious sponsors, got himself into no end of trouble when he recklessly and fearlessly drove his new wheelbarrow to his home from the business center of town leaving a wake of disaster in his trail. Deeming such behavior as unbe-coming to a Rural Life Club sponsor, Mr. Bond was hailed before Judge Weslie Inman to account for his strange actions. The de-fense was upheld in a most able manner by Mr. Johnston and counsel, Mr. Andrews, while Mr. Elder and his assisting attorney, Mr. Beery, conducted the prosecution in a fearless and forceful manner. There was much heated discussion in the courtroom when the evidence was all in as to the outcome of the case. The jury, after considerable deliberation over the evidence, rendered a verdict of guilty and Mr. Bond was brought before Judge Inman for sentence. The judge, considering the past services of the de-fendant, was inclined to be lenient and sentenced Mr. Bond to a period of hard labor at the Bellingham Normal. Just before returning to our homes for the holidays "The Birds' Christmas Carol" was given with a high degree of success, which confirmed the report that at least some members of the Rural Life Club missed their calling when they forsook the foot-lights for the prosaic task of teaching school. Miss Mildred Her-mans as Mrs. Ruggles, and Miss Winnie Jordan as Sarah Jane were stars of real quality. Mr. Rindall, our school carpenter, gave a very pleasant even-ing's entertainment early in the winter with an illustrated lecture on his old home, Norway. The subjects of industrial education in rural schools and "Boys' and Girls' Clubs," which go hand in hand in the rural com-munities is of much interest to those who expect to become active leaders in rural localities. Upon these topics a very profitable evening was spent with Miss Ethel Everett, county superintendent, and Prof. R. C. Tibbles of Ferndale, who discussed these subjects in a highly profitable and interesting manner. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 98 ---------- 4 A i r~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 99 ---------- The first Rural Life Conference, planned and conducted by Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse was held at the school, March 12 and 13 and gave the club an opportunity to meet Mr. Newbill, Mr. Thornber and other experts in the line of rural community work and industrial education. It also gave us an opportunity to make ourselves useful as well as ornamental (luring the progress of the conference. The pleasant times that we have enjoyed through the club's activities are occasions which will long be remembered. The Rural Life Club is indeed fulfilling its mission through the energy and life of its members and the sincere efforts of its officers and fac-ulty sponsors to make the organization a success. e Normal High School The B. S. N. High has this past year attained a degree of su-premacy of which even we, in our wildest hopes, dared not dream. It has been filled to overflowing with school activities. There has been the Student Association meeting once a week and well at-tended; the debate team, coached by Gerald Van Horn; the Boys' and Girls' basketball teams, most creditable teams, both of them; and too, organizations of each class. The Senior plays in April were a great success, thanks to the coaches, King and Foster, and came as a crowning event, followed by the H. S. picnic in May. This year our classes were divided for a social purpose. Every Friday one division of each class was responsible for some form of entertainment. Our class frolics were usually held in the large gymnasium. Under the capable direction of Miss Nickerson, we enjoyed some rousing good games, and many folk dances. All successful class stunts had a grand finale. The finale was surely a spread which was generally served in the lunch room of the Department of Home Economics. On one occasion the dining room was transformed into a delightful forest. Fairy-like figures floated in and out among the trees, and soft music filled the air about us. Delicious refreshments were served to us here by six of the tiny fairies. We came to the fairy garden and were re-freshed. The enrollment which early in the year barely reached a hun-dred, now soars to a hundred and sixty-two; and the first and last class of the Normal Accredited High School graduates with seventeen in its ranks.

If we were very unselfish we might feel very sorry, but we can't help feeling a bit glad that, since we can't be here ourselves, no one else can be here either. After all, that's only human nature. The High School has been very fortunate in its faculty ad- visors. Of course there has been Mr. Parish as principal; without him we cannot imagine our school the success it's been; and then Mrs. Kuykendall, a jolly companion at banquets and good times. Miss Norton has helped us out too. What would we have (lone without her good, sound advice? Mr. Parish's English class can best appreciate his influence and presence. There has been work, lots of it, but always ready for a good joke and a right jolly laugh. So, when next year and years after we are scattered through this "vale of tears (?)" we shall remember him, remember his teachings of unselfishness, goodness and truthfulness and in them find recompense for all the "outlines" we have ever had to write in the English VII class.

It seeks the best physical development of the men, through the many athletic activities; it seeks the establishment of Christian conduct in the practical affairs of life, through addresses given by the city's men of success, from time to time. A genuine mixer, to which all men of the school were invited, given at the beginning of the year, proved to be the cornerstone of the association's good work. The large gymnasium was crowded, with men, formerly strangers but soon the closest brothers. It was not unusual to see a man on the floor, shooting a basket with one hand, and shaking hands with an opponent with the other. Next came the joint social of the two organizations, engaged in the same work. With the beginning of the second semester another mixer was held, in the large gymnasium. Many new members were added. The games, the dinner, the speeches, produced on that occasion will ever be a sunny memory to those having the privilege to be present. As the last days of school were drawing near, a beach party was held, which proved a thoroughly enjoyable affair. The lecture course of the year, exceptionally brilliant and comprehensive, was well arranged and well attended. The first lecture was given by Rev. Askey, who spoke on the best means for a youth to spend his assets of mind, body and soul. Dr. Morrison gave some excellent maxims on clear thinking. Dan North, with judicial precision and expert knowledge, spoke on "Fair Play and Athletics," which influenced all very greatly. Virgil Peringer pre-sented in a convincing way some of the essentials of a successful career. Mr. Olson defined "Religion," as something far from big-otry and narrowness, but of infinite breadth and scope, capable of marvelous results in the lives of men. At a joint session of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., Dr. Hall showed how intensely practical, modern and enjoyable missionary work is, when conducted with up-to-date methods. Some of the most interesting and beneficial talks have been given by members of the faculty: "The Life of Booker T. Washington," by Dr. Nash; "The Square Deal," by Mr. Hoppe; "Deliver the Goods," by Mr. Hughes, aand the "Homely Philosophy of Walt Mason," by Mr. Parish. From every standpoint the year's work has been a success. It is only hoped that the association will increase in strength that it may the better carry on its good work of leading the young men into a richer, better life of service. lO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 104 ---------- r ,:.. % ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 105 ---------- Young Women's Christian Association "Wait on the Lord" Even before the opening of school in September, the Y. W. C. A. organization was showing its ever present enthusiastic spirit. Trains were met, and girls were conducted to their rooms where generous bouquets of flowers awaited them. At school, willing helpers directed students to their classes. The work of the association has been going splendidly all year. Our first devotional meeting was held Sunday afternoon, September 10. Miss Hamblin, of New York, gave us a very in-spiring message. A very delightful reception was held soon after the opening of school in the society hall, which was very artistically decorated with autumn foliage. During the month of October we were fortunate in having with us such speakers as Dr. French Oliver, the evangelist, with his co-workers, Mrs. Russell and Miss MacLaren; also Miss Jane Neill Scott, of New York, Executive Secretary of the Northwest Field Committee. During the week, November 12th to 18th, in accord with a national plan, our association observed its "World's Week of Fellowship." The first meeting was held on Sunday afternoon in joint session with the City Association at the Y. W. C. A. build-ing, and our Cabinet served Fellowship Tea after the meeting. Following a week of prayerful devotion, the last meeting was one of unusual interest. Miss Rose Baxter led the meeting and Miss Hayes, former Dean of Women, brought to us a very interesting and profitable discourse on the "Warring Nations," after which Mrs. Jane Bellis-Colby favored us with a solo. On Saturday af-ternoon a Fellowship "Chocolate" was held in the association room. The largest affair of the year is always the annual banquet and is looked forward to with enthusiastic anticipation. This banquet marked the close of the campaign for members and was in charge of the Membership Committee, with the assistance of the Social Committee. It was held November 18th at the Leo-pold Hotel and was attended by 176 members and guests, among whom were several faculty members, the Advisory Committee, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, Mrs. Wood, Miss Mary Hillis and Miss a YOtl ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 106 ---------- i;~~~ ~~~~ lt~1 -;L $b L1C 41 J's z z c P4P Cd I C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 107 ---------- Edythe DeLong, of Everett, who was toastmistress.

Nash. Rocks -- --- Hazel McClelland Thistles - ---- Christine Hermans Wheat ------ Tressa Middleton Dr. Nash responded in his earnest yet genial way when called upon for an impromptu talk. Throughout the month of January we had exceptionally good meetings. Rev. Reagor, of the local Christian church, spoke on the duties of missionaries. Miss Eleanor P. Hopkins, General Student Secretary of the Northwest Field Committee, was here for a week, which gave the girls a chance for talks and conferences. Miss Hopkins spoke at the Thursday meeting on "Prayer." Friday, January 29, the old and new members met in the "Big Gym" for a "Get Acquainted Party." The afternoon was spent informally and ended in a grand march which led to the cafeteria where refreshments were served. We enjoyed having with us again this year for our Bible In-stitute, Mrs George Saltau of Tacoma, and Mrs. Campbell, of Se-attle. They brought us such inspiring and soul-satisfying mes-sages that it was with regret we bade them goodbye and God-speed. One of the very interesting messages of the year was brought to us from Mr. Host, who for years has been one of the fore-most leaders in the China Inland Mission. At one of our last meetings the Missionary Committee, with the help of some of the other association girls, and some high school girls, presented a play, "Tired of Missions." The play was preceded by a reading, "The Master's Voice," by Mrs. Simpson, a member of the Advisory Committee. We have a student Volunteer Band, which has been having very interesting meetings. There are a dozen Mission Study and Bible Study Classes, with a very good attendance, organized at the various rooming houses, the Dormitory and the Y. W. C. A. Building. To the fac-ulty members who made some of these classes possible we extend heartfelt thanks. Our cafeteria has been successful in capably caring for about 180 students each day, and during the Rural Conference the regu- O II a n C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 108 ---------- ~I~j - 0 S00 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 109 ---------- lar customers gladly gave their places to the visiting teachers, principals and superintendents. Every cabinet member and most of the members of the as-sociation have felt that their time and money have been well spent in the good things they have received. The Sunrise Easter Meeting at Initial Rock on Sehome was well attended as usual and several of the girls who have been here, part the full year and part for two years, spoke. As the Klipsun goes to press we are looking forward to a Social Frolic of some sort in conjunction with the Y. M. boys of the Normal School. Also, with great joy, we are anticipating a trip to Cypress Island while the rhododendrons are in bloom. Following are the Cabinet Officers: 1916-17 1917-18 CASSIE C. CALES President - - CASSIIE C.

They hap-pen to live in one of the happiest homes on the corner of Maple and Forest streets. Perhaps you do not know all who live there and the good times they have, so prepare yourself to hear the thrilling tales they tell. Laura Stubblefield is on the third floor, nicknamed "Our fu-ture Miss Norton." Her specialty is Parliamentary drill. It is 0 ILIt0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 110 ---------- Asn ~Bi-- Y. W. C. A. GIRLS whispered that after carefully reading Roberts' Rules of Order, she started a new book of rules for the convenience of all societies that wish to be conducted on a modern system. Until recently, Mary Hayward lived with Miss Stubblefield. At the end of the third quarter Mary left for Walla Walla, not to engage in modern Pavlowa acts, but to take upon herself the seri-ous duties of teacher. Just across the hall is Mary Chapin, a clever, capable lady, envied by the entire house, not for her competency, but because she receives flowers and candy and invitations from-but we all know. Elsie Gough (or Goo or Guff) is noted for her interest in a certain Iky, and because she specializes in cocoa baths, given by Sara Lopp. Only recently Miss Gough (or Goo or Guff) has de-cided to wear a bathing suit at all spreads. Did you hear Glad Hamely say, "Oh dear!" If you had been over at Lummi Island camping during the spring vacation you would surely have heard that familiar phrase as Glad Hamely and Glad White (second name Hershey) fried flapjacks for a crowd who simply would not stop eating. "Oh dear!" was the same cry made, when on the return trip the boat did somersaults on the grey sea. Marion Scofield and Ruby Boblette are Everett girls, well liked by all. Also they seem to know several Everett people, judging from certain observations made while the Everett basketball teams were here. 110 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 111 ---------- And while we are speaking of Everett girls, do not forget Letha and Mabel Painter. These studious, original girls have devised a new way of boiling eggs, according to rumor. Has a patent been applied for? Pauline Shuler is that girl who can say "Hagamos Confetos," and with the needed assistance of her wife, Alberta Worthington, gives us such good things to eat, in the sitting rOO1. Cornelia Hooper and Elizabeth Palmner are comely maids good to look upon. They often say how grateful they are for the sound-proof walls of the house, for just below them live Una Robinson and Ruth Morrison. Una is a young woman with many talents, as you may know, but her favorite avocation is sing-ing, accomipanied by Miss Morrison. Truly, life is one long song with our future Melha and Tina Lerner. You all know and admire Sara Lopp and her room-mate, Ruth Pan-chot, or Pan-shot, as is preferredl by the faculty. Sara has figured inim-ortantly in making a Welsh rarebit, referred to as a mustard plaster. Ruth is known for her ability in opening cans of lobster, rescued from the missionary barrel by one Miss White. Cassie Cales left our happy home the sec-ond semester, due no doubt to the fact that the cruel house girls locked Miss Morse and herself in Cassie's room one evening, and then peeped in at them over the transom. Miss Cales was finally forced, much to her regret, to call Miss Morse to her assistance, and with the aid of a tin cup, cold water and consider-able skill in tossing, dampen the spirits of the wretches in the hall. Oh, pardon, that was only the Junior class secretary caroling with a Thatcher trained voice, "Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking," Oh, yes, often in the chilly night, after her many social duties are o'er, you can hear her singing thus. Just a mere diversion, yes. ii YOr ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 112 ---------- If you have tears, prepare to shed them now, for here comes our second floor monitor, choral club singer, H. L. S. member and Klipsun cartoonist. No, she was not always lame. She has the Charley Horse at present. Then there is Helen Peterson, well known for her great liking for cream pie. During the third quarter Helen was missed, but a competent detective found her leaning against the door of Miss Drake's office. Gertrude Smith, Marjory Weeks, Alice Drew, Frances Nagel and Lillian White are new additions to our family. They like the Missouri Waltz and object to fried eggs. Surely that is enough to recommend them for membership in the sisterhood.

Then you'll have the biggest organization of its kind ever seen at W. S. N. S.-the Choral Club of 1916-17! When the first call for volunteers was made by Mrs. Thatcher early in the autumn she found herself besieged by enthusiastic songsters. Work began at once and a few weeks proved suffi-cient to disclose an unusual number of fine voices. That the club might enjoy these to the full, short bi-weekly programs were in-stituted as a part of the regular meetings. Solo and duet numbers vocal and piano, added to the interest and enjoyment. 1:2 El - Secretary-Treasurer ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 116 ---------- HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL CLUB One Wednesday afternoon in October, Mrs. Thatcher invited the girls to "tea" in the music room and over the cups everybody became acquainted. Even before this event Mrs. Thatcher had won the admiration and affection of her group of feminity but such a jollification absolutely clinched it. A number of Choral Club stars appeared at assembly "singly or in groups" during the first semester, but March 9 marked the date of the first appearance of the club as a whole. On the evening of that date the annual concert-the club's gala event-was given. The numbers composing the program this year were: Chorus-(a) "Estudia (b) "Come Y Solo-"The Spring Has Co Edil Quartet-"The Spinni Misses Ireland, A Piano Solo-"Staccato S Solo--(a) "Ein Schwa (b) "Mit Einem H Chorus-"The Dusk V inlia .- - -I e Fairies" - - - Lynes Choral Club me" - - - White th Hendrickson ng Wheel" - - - Barbour rchambeau, DeWitte, Fraser Caprice" - - - - Vogrich tella Johnson n". - Grieg Veilchen" - - - - Grieg [azel Dashley Vitch" - - - - Ambrose Choral Club =:=-_ nt ,, , _ _ _ .nro ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 117 ---------- Violin Solo-Concerto No. 7 (1st movement) - De Beriot Virginia Mathes Quintet-"Wynken, Blynken and Nod" - - Nevin Mrs. Merriman, Mrs. Vermuelen, Misses Buchanan, Dashley, Borkman (Misses Johnson and Condit at the Piano) Solo--"Lavender - - - - - - - - German Margaret Bressler Chorus-'Twas April - -- - -- Nevin Choral Club Duet-"Barcarolle (From Tales of Hoffman) Offenbach Louise Buchanan and Louise Fraser Solo-"Autumn and Spring" - - - - Weil Mrs. Marian Merriman (Violin Obligato, Virginia Mathes) Chorus-(a) "In Fair Seville" - - - Elliott (b) "At Twilight" - - - - Friml Choral Club Accompanists Stella Johnson, Faith Condit, Ruth Elander Director: Florence F.

To celebrate the year's success, the girls scheduled a banquet at the Hotel Leopold in April. Has there been a "fly in the ointment" for the 1916-17 club? None at all. Of course a sudden mention of "Seville" may cause any one of the seventy-seven to shiver slightly, but the club has been immensely pleased with its year together and intensely proud of its director.

Close by the brook the bending willows stood And bent their heads to hear its melody; I listened, too, a moment-and ran on To where the wild flowers smiled and beckoned me. I played with them; of some I made a wreath And wore it for a crown-for I was queen Of all this fairyland, and all was mine, The gay, green fields, the brook that flowed between. And then I came into a forest dark, (It was the forest which is Youth) and there Long shadows lie and temple stillness reigns Beneath the columned vistas everywhere. 'Twas in that mystic wood I first met Life And learned its meaning and its deep command. It sank into my soul-I know not how, I could but feel-I could not understand; And suddenly I heard a strange, sweet song Sung by some unseen bird high overhead. Love sang its pain and joy into my heart, And peace from thence for evermore had fled. I found myself at last on a great plain, 'Where fields of ripened grain stretched far and wide ('Twas in the kingdom of Prosaic Life Wlhere men and women toil on every side) And someone gave to me a gleaming scythe And said, "Go thou to work and thou shalt find A place among us;" ..1 took up my task, And still endure the never-ceasing grind. But often when the weary day is done And in the west the sun is sinking low, Before me looms a ridge of lofty hills Illumined by the sunset's purple glow; And I shall reach the summit of those hills Some day and see the future's wonderland, And, looking downward from that height, shall see Life's valley lie revealed,-and understand. ESTHER SHEPHERD. NOT ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 122 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY c.A Dandy Time There was an exciting thrill in the air, rendered the more in-tense by the air of secrecy which accompanied it. The members of the seventh grade class felt it, and looked at each other from behind their books with widened eyes and compressed lips as if they were afraid their secret would escape. And its escape seemed imminent, for each individual appeared ready to burst with the importance of his knowledge. The usual silent buzz of industri-ous study was given over to the luxury of suppressed giggles and hastily scribbled notes, and even Miss Gray's sharp request for order brought only a compromise in a change of expression. Two people would look up, catch each other's eye, glance significantly at the back of the only member of the class not in the secret, and exchange solemn winks. Meanwhile, the object of all the mystery, a charming young lady of twelve, sat with graceful head bent raptly over her history lesson. All the disturbance was apparently lost on her. She was serenely unconscious of the meaning glances and mysterious winks, the whispering knots of girls at recess time and the sudden silences when she appeared. For the great secret was that acme of childish experience-a surprise party-and any disposition on the part of the guest of honor to suspect it would be the rankest violation of an unwritten law. Nor was this to be a common surprise party. Quite to the contrary, it far out-ranked and out-shone any heretofore in the history of the Milford seventh grade class. For one thing, it was an evening party. For these young people, now almost in their 'teens, had quite passed the stage of children's parties, where they must perforce be watched over by their elders and sent scamper-ing home before it grew dark. Those days were indeed over; they felt-and rightly-that this evening marked the beginning of Their Day. Not the least happy and excited of that joyous number was Minnie Graham, the newest member of the class. To her it held a significance it did not have for the other children, to whom such things had always been a part of their lives-it was her first party. Indeed, in her fourteen and a half years, she had mingled very little with children of her age. She had neither brother nor sis-ters, and having always lived with her widowed mother (whom 0YO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 123 ---------- she loved-oh how she loved that mother!)) her memory of child-ish playmates was slight. True, she had gone to school, but always in a city where going to school with children does not always mean mingling in their social affairs. Nor could this state of affairs be justly laid at the door of her mother-poor, hard- working Mrs. Graham. She had done what she could for her small and adoring daughter, but somehow there had never been even the slightest left-over by which Minnie might join one of the small girl clubs, or attend their weekly matinee parties. And thus it was that Minnie faced with high anticipation and fast- heating heart, the evening of her first party. She was standing in the small close bedroom, before the dim-ily- covered stand which served as a dressing table, and striving with much twisting and turning to get a full view in the cracked mirror which hung above it, while the mother with patient work-worn fingers lovingly settled the folds in the somewhat faded blue hair-ribbons and smoothed the starched white dress. The old cracked mirror gave back the vision of a happy young face, with a tender curl or two above it (a large nail heated above the lamp had accomplished this miracle) and Minnie decided that, in spite of the thin brown face and too large eyes, she looked quite beauti-ful enough, even for this magnificent affair. In fancy, she saw herself at the party, moving fairy-like and gracious among the others, followed by all eyes, much sought after as a partner, by all the boys, and greatly envied by the other girls. Enchanted by this picture and by the vision in the mirror to which perhaps her great desire had lent a charm not there, she turned to her mother, eyes shining and cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you, mother," in a happy half-shy young voice, "Do I look-all right?" In silent answer, for her voice was choked, the mother put her arms about the white-clad figure and kissed the glowing face. In the warm autumn twilight Minnie hurried along the village street and joined the laughing, chattering group on the drug store corner. They had decided to meet here and go in a compact body to the house of Natalie Wayne, whose mother was giving the party. So interested were they in their brilliant play of wit and good-natured teasing, that no one noticed the silent bashful figure which joined them and stood wistfully watching and listening to others. Not for long, however, for presently, after much jostling dispute as to who should lead, they fell into single file and stole Indian-wise up the street. Minnie, thoroughly in the spirit of the party, felt indeed one of them as they quietly filed up the narrow board 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 124 ---------- sidewalk, their hushed silence only broken by an occasional hushed whisper or burst of giggles. Now they stood in front of the house, and after a whispered conference among the leaders, the group turned in at the gate and crept in a crouching attitude across the lawn. As soon as all the members were huddled together on the porch, one of the boys who had previously claimed the privilege and who had been standing guard over his rights, rang the door-bell, long and vigorously. The door was opened by Natalie herself, very lovely in some-thing pink and shimmery, and who was sufficiently surprised to satisfy even the most exacting. In the dressing-room, whence the girls had gone to take off their wraps, Minnie gazed in wide-eyed appreciation at the wonder of soft and delicately-tinted dresses, flowing sashes, and dainty slippers. She watched them and marveled, but it never occurred to her to envy until she caught a glimpse of herself in a long mir-ror at the other end of the room, her stiffly starched white dress contrasting pitifully with the sheer exquisite blue of the girl beside her. Silently she followed others down the velvet-carpeted stair-way, and into the living room, where the boys were already seated stiffly on one side of the room, looking very conscious in the glory of their best suits and hair smoothly plastered down. The girls arrayed themselves on the other side, just as conscious, but exceedingly more graceful. Minnie contrived to get a seat behind the table, that no one might notice her school shoes, worn shabby through service. Her cheeks were no longer flushed, and the light was gone from her eyes, which now wore a strained expression and emphasized mer-cilessly the pallor of the lean brown cheeks. Heretofore she had taken no part in the gaiety; now there flashed before her mind a picture of what she had dreamed she would be-a fairy princess in a fairy land. And with this vision, she saw herself as she was- alone, unnoticed, and miserable. With this realization, she made a last desperate effort to throw herself into the easy sociability of the others, listening as if very much amused and interested, to the light and frivolous sallies, and laughing louder than anybody else at the clumsy attempts at humor. Soon, as the tension grew less, and both girls and boys felt the irresistible desire for action, someone started a game of "show." Now "show" necessitates the station of one couple in some excluded spot-preferably the top step of a long winding ii~o nYO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 125 ---------- staircase, and to this point the others go, also in pairs, until some other couple is declared to be the "show." The children paired off and went out, a couple at a time, mak-ing a constant stream of the going and the coming. Their happy voices and gay laughter rang thru the room and the halls, but no one came to get Minnie. She sat conspicuously alone now, fol-lowing hungrily with her eyes the movements of the merry-mak-ers. Pride kept her head up, and an amused smile on her mouth. Only when she felt herself quite unnoticed did her mouth droop, and then only for a moment, for upon the return of the animated crowd, she would assume the old expression of amused cheerful-ness. Once or twice she noticed some of the girls and boys look at her and speak to each other in low undertones. She saw Natalie, a reigning goddess among her worshipers, speak to some of the boys. They hung back a little, and then being seized with a bright idea, called Natalie's younger brother, a mischievous lad of nine. He came obedient, and listened to what the boys told him, turning meanwhile squarely around to look at Minnie. Whatever the proposal was, he evidently agreed, for he came goodnaturedly across the room and planted himself before the table behind which sat Minnie. Then, in a clear, ringing voice, which caused everyone in the room to stop and look around, and which Minnie was certain could easily have been heard around the block, he said, "May I see you to the show?" Minnie longed desperately for the power to spring up grace- fully and give the child her hand merrily, but the curious eyes of all that multitude were upon her, and she knew that she could not. Flushing painfully, she heard herself saying in a stiff little voice, "No, thank you, I don't care to go." In the hush which followed, she heard a stifled snicker across the room, and she realized that she was indeed lost now. How she got through that evening she never knew. It seemed ages that she sat there, utterly apart, numb with disillusionment, but still fixedly smiling. Refreshments came, and she ate her ice cream mechanically, without tasting it. She went upstairs when the others did, for her wraps, and she slipped out the big front door alone, into the cool night, just as the children's voices rose on the chorus of "Good-night Ladies." The streets were dark and deserted, as she walked quickly homeward. A dry sob rose in her throat but she choked it down, fiercely. She dared not cry, lest the quick eyes of her mother should discover the traces of tears upon her cheek. With fingers pressed tightly against her palms, her head thrown back, and II __ Ui Y t] ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 126 ---------- breath coming in long quivering inspirations, she hurried on. At the door of her home she paused to gain control of her-self, and when her breathing became more calm and natural and she felt that she could speak to her mother cheerfully, if need be, she went in. In the bed room her mother lay asleep. Without lighting the lamp on the stand Minnie started to untie her ribbons and unbutton her dress in the dark, lest the mother should waken. She had forgotten her own sorrow and disal)lointment in the great fear that this best-loved, too, should he hurt. But her precautions were useless, for the figure in the bed stirred and lifted a little. "Is it you, Minnie? Come here dear." She reached a hand out groping in the dark. "Did mother's little girl have a good time?" As Minnie felt tl upon her own young compensation.

They moved slowly at first around the ring, But gradually the dance went faster Un til At length I could see only a circle of light, Swaying up and then down, Now higher on this side, Now on that, Faster and faster and still faster. Suddenly The circle of light broke into fragments, And the spirits vanished As so many sparks of fire. But one of them came back; I know-for he brushed close beside me and kissed my cheek as he went by. The fairies were playing peek-a-boo Down in the meadow. I could see how each one was trying to hide And then surprise the others. One instant they would disappear And at the next- Would be up again. I could see the flash of lights-the little lights that they wore in their fairy crowns. LO.~ C0 I; ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 128 ---------- Just then I heard tiny voices very near, And I looked down; And there- All over the hillside--- At my very feet I saw thousands of little creatures- Queer, dark shapes they were-like little men- And it was they who were speaking: "We are the sunbeam carriers," they said, "We catch the sunbeams and carry them to the roots of the flow-ers. All day long we toil; We run as fast as we can On our trips between the upper world where the sunbeams are And the homes of the flower roots. We get warm and tired from our labor thru the day; At night we come out to rest And let the night breezes cool our hair." I know that they told the truth For I felt their warm breath. The heat of their bodies radiated upward and made all the air warm. "How might it be that you saw such strange things?" you will ask, "Things that we have never before seen nor heard of-" I cannot answer that- I do not know- All I can say is: It was a summer night. ESTHER SHEPHERD. L----- ' ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 129 ---------- SECOND PRIZE STORY cAunt Sarah's Trip "There," said Sally Winens with bitter resignation, as Tommy, the smiling Philippine deck steward bowed himself away. "There goes Aunt Sarah's winter hat, with that tip, the collection for disabled seamen will take her Christmas magazine, and I sup-pose Tommy will get my spats." Sally turned wearily in her nmummy-like wrappings and found herself looking squarely into the eyes of the man in the next chair. He was an inconspicuous young fellow, with a fine dark face, and he huddled within innumerable rugs, as if the steady little Pacific breeze, so relentlessly whipping his eyes and flicking his hair, was a blast from the Pole. "My cell-mate" she had desig-nated him, the second day out, in impatient realization of their isolation in a recess of the deck, and the shadow of a big red funnel. His name, Bill Woodruff, scribbled on a card on his deck chair, was familiar to her, as the discriminating mark on their respective cells, but Bill Woodruff himself had seemed to deject-edly alone-so oblivious to the gay promenaders-she had found it dispiriting to watch him. "He's the only other person on this ship as forlorn as I," she reflected. "Mercy! He might be in for life." Now, as she met his questioning smile, something singularly sympathetic in the deeply set blue eyes, encouraged her to speak. "I suppose you think me demented, soliloquizing like this," she hazarded recklessly. "It sounds surprising and interesting," said he, his smile per-sisting. "Is Tommy taking old clothes for tips this trip? And why spats and Aunt Sarah's hat? If he wears 'em, he'll be quite the most spectacular thing on this ship, and some of those girls are going to resent that." He nodded toward some laughing damsels, lurching arm in arm down the deck, their skirts alarm-ingly short and their sweaters and caps smears of primary color against the white paint. In spite of a spasmodic effort for dignity, Sally giggled help-lessly, and as her companion joined with a grin that showed his white teeth, she thought quickly, "He's English-and really young -I wonder why I didn't notice, at first." Mr. Woodruff's eyes rested appreciatively on her soft young face-the cheeks flushed by the sharp sea breeze, and the black-lashed eyes guilelessly appealing in their embarrassment. "Good Lord," he marveled, "she's as refreshing as sunrise in the coun- 1 C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 130 ---------- try. So they really do send them out alone like this in the States." "My gibbering is the result of solitary confinement," she confided gayly. "I've been so hoarse from not speaking to a soul except the stewards, that I occasionally try my voice. The fact is-hesi-tating- this trip must take the place with me of food, shelter, and raiment for years to come. You overheard an itemized account of vanishing luxuries. You see," with an adorable smile, "I'm a plain business woman." Then, as even to this neutral young man, Sally longed to appear sophisticated, "Now you'll think I am crazy, telling you all that," she ended in chagrin. Her companion pulled his chair closer to hers. "On the con-trary," he answered, "there's something intensely practical about the sound of it. I wish you'd tell me more. Sitting here hour after hour, when I'm not looking at the sea or throwing bread to the silly gulls, I can't help noticing you are rather alone." "And in-credibly young," he added to himself. "You're putting it delicately," said Sally, with a sniff. "You know perfectly well that not a passenger on this ship has spoken to me, or flickered an eyelash in my direction. You must know that when they all walk past I sit here with a glassy, unconscious expression, until my face is as stiff as a mask. Oh! it's all so dis-appointing, when I think of poor Aunt Sarah!" To her mortifica-tion her voice grew husky; worse still her attempt to wink back two big tears that welled to her brown eyes was unsuccessful, and her frenzied search in her plethoric sweater pockets, failed to pro-duce a handkerchief. "Take mine," said her listener, thrusting out a fold of snowy linen and considerately turning his eyes away. He rose now, and, Sally dabbing at the tears, thought that in the parlance of Dodgeville, "He looked awfully nice." Indeed she was surprised that she had ever thought him insignificant, he seemed so inde-finably lithe and graceful as he leaned against the red funnel. "If you don't mind my maunderings," he was saying, in the crisp English that delighted her provincial ears, "perhaps I can give you some good advice. My brain is clogged with a lot I haven't been able to use. Of course it was given to be, but it has positively no sentiment attached and I'll part with it cheerfully to a suitable victim. Now then-state the case of Aunt Sarah, her hat and the disappointment. Will she take it to heart be-cause those young rainbows haven't warmed up to a flapper like you?" "I suppose it did sound too 'phantasamnagoria'" laughed Sally quite herself again, "I ought to explain that in the first place I'm not so awfully young." She hesitated-then with a flash of courage-"In the next place, I'm a poor school teacher." "No," exclaimed the man, "Extraordinary." Words seemed ~o CnV 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 131 ---------- to fail him and he murmered "absolutely extraordinary," again. "Well?" he was forced to inquire, as Sally, confused by the admiration in his laughing eyes, busied herself with a refractory curl. "Let's have the gist of the story, as it were." "It's hard to tell" she submitted seriously, "for I don't think you ever saw a place like Dodgeville. That's where I teach, and live with my aunt." "Enter Aunt Sarah," interpolated MIr. Woodruff. "You mustn't laugh at Aunt Sarah, even in fun," she flashed. "She is wonderful. I wish I could make you see her so you'd re-alize she never could be ridiculous. She is a dainty, faded little old woman, but so sweet, so strong, so self sacrificing. We lead a pinched, monotonous life but Aunt Sarah's always had one big interest-she has wanted me to go abroad some day. First it was the dream of her life to go herself. Once she was all ready, and grandmother was taken ill, and next it was grandfather. Finally I was left a miserable little orphan-to take her time and money. She started then planning for me-simply giving the whole thing up for herself. She has read and studied and absorl)ed Europe until it must be--must be-" "Engraved on her heart like France on Mary whatyoucallem's" supplemented her listener. Sally nodded and continued with recovered breath. "They ask her to give talks to the Sunday School and Book Club, on "Roman Ruins" or "Walks in Paris," and she knows so much more than some people who've been there ever want to know! It is pitiful. The story was coming with a rush now, and the man's eyes were fixed intently on the drifting spirals of smoke where sky line melted into sea on the distant horizon. "The war didn't put a stop to her plans for then she was all for Honolulu and Japan. Poor Auntie has scrimped and scrimpl)el, and so have I. We have lived like two genteel spinster spartans," explosively. We've pretended for years that we didn't like an egg for breakfast, or picture shows, or ice cream, or car rides. Aunt Sarah thinks it's ladylike to pretend you don't want a thing you can't have." "That's not so futile," said her companion. "It is one way of keeping your troubles to yourself. Aunt Sarah is rilping! She's a 'good old sport,' as the men say over here." "Horrors! If she could hear you," said Sally, "she would snatch me out of your vi-cinity in a jiffy." He laughed. "You're going to tell me how she pulled off this trip aren't you?" for Sally had relapsed into silence. "I was thinking of the day she gave me the money," she said slowly. "She seemed so frail and tremulous, and the look on her face made me choke up in the midst of my rapture-it was so- 131 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 132 ---------- exalted. The money was some she had borrowed, and some saved by not having the house painted, and in hundreds of pathetic little ways. She even decided to wear a six-year-old dress a little longer, 'freshened up with a nice white collar,' as she said. For two months she studied itineraries and fluttered over preparations like a little grey bird at nest building. There was a letter from the minister's missionary cousin, with a list of hotels he had visited fifteen years ago, and a visit from the minister himself, touching delicately on the deplorable interest in the Hula dance, shown by tourists. I was deluged with remedies for sea-sickness, cretonne soap cases, and copies of the 'Lady of the Decoration,' and I re-ceived a beribboned wire frame a little like a parrot cage but more like a lamp shade, which proved to be a thing to keep my hat on in the stateroom." "I'll make a note of that, as an addition to a comfort kit," laughed the Englishman. "I can assure you it's indispensable," she dimpled. "Well, Aunt Sarah was pleased with everything. She said the best part of the whole trip would be on ship-board; meeting interesting people, making friends, playing shuffleboard with jolly crowds, promenading the deck and singing on moonlight nights. Some-times when we talked of it, sitting in the dusk before the fire, she would reach out for my hand and we would sit and dream like children over a fairy tale. The last moment of all, she slipped some envelopes into my bag. 'Just one for each day on ship-board,' she said. 'It may be hard to take time from the other young people, but I know my little girl will share the most won-derful experience of her life, with me.' She looked around the crowded deck as if it had the glamour of a ship of dreams. 'Those letters will be my trip abroad,' she said. Then she was hurried down the gang-way, her delicate old face distorted in an effort at a goodbye smile." There was a pause. Then Sally rose with a hopeless gesture. "I haven't written one thing yet," she said bitterly. "I can't write her a lie, and I can't tell her I've been as lonesome as a smallpox suspect in quarantine." Bill Woodruff smiled, the tension relieved by her incongruous conclusion. Besides, she was so frankly, distractingly pretty in spite of the "old warm clothing" so recklessly advised by the guide books. "I don't understand how it's happened," he said, "but there certainly hasn't been anything soul-stirring to put in those letters. Shuffleboard-jolly crowds- moonlight"-he enumerated slowly, "we can manage that; Aunt Sarah has them all from soup to fish, and I shall help write the letters," he declared. "What about this crowd," reflectively, "I know some of them are a good sort." 0 13 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 133 ---------- Yes, she returned satirically. There is a party of English officers and diplomats and their wives. They've been touring in the interests of the Allies and naturally they keep to themselves. When those girls even pass me I feel countrified and the rest of the women lie in rows like cocoons, writing endless letters and complaining about the service. Oh! Everything's wrong with me-clothes, place at table-most of all being alone like this. I suppose men don't mind," with a sweet little smile of commiseration, "but I called you my cell-mate when I saw you shared my hard luck." Her cell-mate struck the railing with unnecessary vim. "Well, I am an unmitigated idiot," he exclaimed. I subsidized Tommy to put me in a quiet corner and at first I thought you might have done the same. I might give my own credentials before we talk any more. I'm one of that English crowd myself"-with an abruptness that was almost boyish. I am Captain William Wood-ruff- usually harmless, but very irritable while convalescing. I was buried by a shell explosion and sent home to pull myself to-gether." He smiled in deprecation of her gasp of astonishment and excitement. "It's been awfully hard to be shelved, I can tell you, but I found I could so something in Canada and the States and for a month we've been visiting camps, reviewing troops, doing state dinners, while all the time I've been wild to be back with the rest of the fellows. Finally I collapsed like a silly baby and that's why we are trying this trip. My sister and her husband are on board, and my pal Ted Cocannon. They've been leaving me to sulk alone, but Ted will be keen for the shuffleboard and walking. Tomorrow I shall tuck you under Alice's motherly wing and she'll see that you have a jolly good time, and Ted will try to monopolize you and tell you how to play polo. We want this trip to broaden Aunt Sarah." He smiled at her vivid face. They were leaning on the rail, looking down at the long green swells slowly breaking into crests of silver froth. The waves seemed to vibrate before Sally's confused eyes. Captain Woodruff was continuing in his tranquil voice. "We are a good many days in arrears on Aunt Sarah's trip, and we've a lot of material to collect for letters." He began collecting cushions, rugs and chairs and bestowing them upon the ubiquitous Tommy. There will be a place near the life boats on the boat deck where we can see a streak of moonlight reaching to Dodgeville," he said. He stood sharply silhouetted against a dark sky-very clean-cut and soldierly in his rough clothes. Curling wisps of mist trailed past the sickle moon, which hung high in a sky turning blue-black after a brief twilight. "Aunt Sarah is a prophetess," he said with a great sigh. I think our trip and hers is going to be the most wonderful thing in our lives." CATHERINE FIFIELD. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 134 ---------- FIRST PRIZE ESSA Y October 7, 1777 The Day When Arnold Should Have Died. The human mind is fickle. It is not a unit, instead of a single harmonious agency it is an uncertain compound of elements, both good and evil. It is the most chaotic portion of man. Almost from infancy it is the scene of a desperate struggle-integrity and faithfulness vieing with their many enemies. Which will be vic-torious no mortal can tell. As the readers of American history stop to study and consider the characters, the minds, the motives, alike of our heroes and our traitors, Washington-in all his glory and heroism--stands before us the father of his country. Another we see, despised and hated, in all the disgrace of a traitor- one who sacrificed all integrity, popularity, and respect, one who but for his lack of moral courage and strength of character might have, to this day, been ranked next to Washington and Greene,--we see Benedict Arnold, deserter and betrayer of his fatherland in its time of greatest need. His treason is the most dramatic incident in America. Yea, even more-"The fact that Washington loved and admired him is sufficient warrant that his character was at least great enough to make its ruin a tragedy." Had he not been the victim of a rash, impulsive, jealous mind; had he not been deficient in intellect and tact and oversensitive to public opinion, in Arnold was the making of a patriot, than which none might have been greater. Jealous, because his elders were promoted over him, he sold him-self cheap,-cheap as the very dirt upon which the lowest of criminals tread. The price paid for his dishonor was 6,000 pounds sterling, a brigadier-ship in the British army, the hatred of the American nation, and the contempt of all England. What a reward! What a worthy reward! "Unsightly is deformity e'en in the gnarled and storm-riven oak or stunted flower. Doubly deformed is a deformed mind." Such was Arnold's. Nature's blunder! A ruined soul! Never-the-less it is only just to recall his services to the cause of American independence: The remarkable deeds of Arnold, the patriot, at Ticonderoga and Crown Point, his "active, intelli-gent, and enterprising" deeds at Quebec; and his valiant heroism in the naval combat on Lake Champlain. Though impetuous, hasty O1 D ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 135 ---------- and self-willed, ever striving for honor, he risked his life again and again for his country. At the most critical point of the Revo-lution, when even Gates had not the courage to attack Burgoyne, Arnold, ever on the alert, took command, urged on the army, and on October 7, 1777, won a decisive victory at Behmus Heights, near Saratoga, and crowned his day with glory. However, these are not the things that are suggested to our minds when we hear the name of Benedict Arnold, but "the name stands, and will ever stand, as the symbol of unfaithfulness to trust." Treason dashes all honor to dust. He, who won fame at Behmus Heights, was more severely wounded there than at Quebec. During the six months of his convalescence, the fire of Satan burst forth and all honor was obliterated. Scarcely had he recovered when he began plotting the deed which caused his disgraceful downfall. From childhood Arnold had possessed a certain "obduracy of conscience, cruelty of disposition, irritability of temper," and a reckless indifference to the good or ill opinion of others. This left but a weak founda-tion upon which to build a character worthy of honor. Once in the path of wrong "Temptation begets sin and sin yet further sin and this again punishment sure and inexorable." How thankful we are that heaven relieved the loving mother of the anguish of witnessing her son's career of "ambition without virtue, of glory tarnished with crime, and of depravity ending in infamy and ruin." It was from motive of interest, not choice, that Arnold did not betray his country till such a time as the baser elements of his mind gained supremacy, for it has been truly and wisely spoken: "In every mind of might some faculty predominates and by its single strength measures the greatness,-or perchance, the misery, of a life." Because of these baser faculties Arnold went down, down, lived in a traitor's disgrace and died sorrowing for his sins. Washington, his steadfast friend, upon hearing of his down-fall, with choking voice and tearful eyes, said to Lafayette, "Ar-nold is a traitor, and has fled to the British! Whom now can we trust?" The hatred of every American for this traitor may be summed up in the following conversation: Arnold, upon asking an American captive, "What do you suppose my fate would be if my misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner?" received the prompt and frank reply, "They would cut off the leg that was wounded at Saratoga and Quebec and bury it with the honors of war, and the rest of you they would hang on a gibbet." It may be truly said that no man is so base that in him can be found no good, for Arnold's last days, spent in London, were days of bitter remorse and reproach. The great name which he had so gallantly won and so basely lost left him in peace neither ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 136 ---------- night nor day. The strong frame which had withstood many a battle at last broke down. On his last day he called for his American uniform, which he had carefully preserved, and putting it on said, "Let me die in this old uniform in which I fought my battles. May God forgive me for ever putting on another." Along the western wall of the little chapel at West Point are a number of marble tablets. Each records, with the dates of birth and death, the name of a major general who has done honor to this our native country. Upon one of these may be seen "Major General;" a deep mark across the record effaces the name. Following the date, "Born 1740," is another deep groove, for it has been truly said "Death to honor merits no reward." Thus closes the awful drama of a ruined soul. FLORENCE DODGE. ~I2zZZ3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 137 ---------- Lost and Found--A Claim and A Daughter The long summer day was fast fading into the dusk which gives evidence of night, the only distinguishing mark between night and day in the North country, where summer means light all night, where night gives way to day. Julia Barton watched the declining day with a wistful longing which she could not ex-plain even to herself. There was so much work to be done among these people with whom she labored, but lately they seemed to draw back from her and to refuse stubbornly the willing aid which she had offered them in so many cases where death had been steadily and gradually warded off by her constant care. Ever since the death of Oglok, a little Eskimo baby, the people had re-garded her with that reticent air which Julia could not understand in them. She had worked day and night over the baby, but de-spite all her solicitude the little life had slipped beyond her grasp. Although she had done her best to bring the suffering child back to health, Julia knew that it was the most merciful thing that could have happened when her efforts failed, for the people were so ignorant, so helpless when caring for their sick, that the suf-fering endured, especially by the children, was unspeakable. And now for some unaccountable reason the people were refusing the aid so necessary to their best welfare and were falling back into their old ignorance and superstition. Julia knew that Father Marceau, the Catholic priest, was making his annual visit to the little village of Chugiack and she also knew what deep resentment he bore toward her, a Protestant, because of the people's deep-set affection for her and her work among them during the year he had been away. She had noticed how the people revered the priest and how they hoarded their pitifully small earnings to give to him when he made his yearly visit. She had seen the reception given him when he entered the village, how the Eskimos welcomed him to the best hut and carried him in, kissing his feet and paying him such reverence as would be accorded only to a god. She could understand how jealous such a man would be of the slightest shifting of affection to any-one other than himself. Now, as Julia sat in the doorway, with that wistful expression on her face, watching the day fade into night, she was pondering upon all this and wondering if these circumstances were in any I way connected with the people's changing attitude toward her. I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 138 ---------- Finally, with a sigh, she arouse and made her way to one of the little huts of the village. Here was the home of her best friend among the Eskimo women. Mushwa had been the first to receive Julia and accept her aid and now when the other inhabitants of Chugiack were slowly turning away from the care of the young nurse, Mushwa proved a better friend than ever, calling upon Julia in cases of illness and persuading the Eskimo women to trust her and allow her to care for their ailing ones. Mushwa's little boy had been through a severe illness, but was now steadily regaining his health and vigor. As Julia stepped inside the little one-roomed dwelling, Mushwa came forward eagerly and took both her hands, giving her a searching glance. Julia looked up quickly. "And are you too beginning to doubt me, Mushwa?" she asked. "No, no, Mliss Julia, Mushwa know you her frien'; Mushwa not doubt you. But, Miss Julia-" "Yes, Mushwa, what is it?" and Julia scanned the Eskimo woman's face trying to read the look there hidden. "Well, Miss Julia, you know you not a Catholic, and Father Marceau, he tell that you no can go to heaven an' so my people say you bad an'- "And what, Mushwa?" "Oh, Miss Julia, now they think you bewitch Oglok an' that's why he die!" "And do you believe that too, Mushwa?" "No, no, no! I tell you so you can go. You mus' go tonight. My people ask the Father if you kill Oglok an' he not say, so they know you bewitch him, and tonight they going to kill you, so Oglok's spirit be not bewitched an' so he go to the land of the Blessed. Oh, Miss Julia, Mushwa want you to go! You mus' go now!" Julia managed to stumble to her home to better think out what plan to take. She knew now what the priest's malice had brought him to. Mushwa had spoken truly, she knew, for the Eskimo were easily aroused to suspicion and when once aroused nothing would do but that accounts must be balanced, a death for a death. Quickly she made her decision. She must leave the village as soon as it became dark. Mushwa's elder son, Ilkan, would be her guide and would make provision for the long mush over the trail. Julia made her preparations quickly, taking only the barest necessities. Then she made a trip to Mushwa's cabin to ask that lkan be allowed to accompany her. Mushwa was de-lighted to help her friend in this way and inside of an hour two travellers met at the edge of the little village of Chugiack, one a LO 11 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 139 ---------- woman, the other a lad. Without a word they started off over the trail. As they covered mile after mile of the well-beaten path Julia had time to ponder over her new condition. Now, if ever, she longed for that father of whom she knew so little. All she knew of him was what the people who had brought her up had told her. They had told her that when her mother died, her father had answered the call of the North, leaving the baby with them, but sending money each year to provide for her needs. He never sent any word to the child and all that her benefactors knew of him was that he was prospecting in the Northern country, the one desire which mastered him being to discover that gold which had eluded and disappointed so many men before. He was evidently making some good discoveries as money came regularly for Julia's edu-cation and needs, but his desire seemed to be for a greater dis-covery, for more and more of the yellow dust. Now as she trav-eled over the snow, Julia wondered where her father could lbe. She had come to Chugiack hoping to find him there, for his letters were always stamped with that postmark, but she had been dis-appointed during her year's sojourn in Chugiack as she had heard and seen nothing of him. A nurse by profession, she had taken to caring for the Eskimo who so needed her help, and now she was fleeing from those very people for whom she had done so much. And where was that father whom she had come up to Alaska in search of? Had she but known it, he was nearer to her now than he had been any time during the year, for his cabin was only a hundred miles from Chugiack. As he changed his prospecting grounds during the years, Mr. Barton had each time built a tem-porary cabin of logs where he might have shelter and protection from the cold. The night before Julia's hasty flight from the Es-kimo village he had again made a change in his grounds and con-sequently in his home. While searching for better prospects he had stumbled over something almost buried in the ground. He dug it up and found that it was an old broken rocker. He began making a hurried search and with his pick he soon uncovered a rusty gold pan. This made him more eager to continue his search but as night was drawing near he began to look around for a good resting place. The rocker was at the foot of a small hill and Barton climbed this, thinking to get a better view of the country and figuring that he might find the cabin where the prospector who had left his rocker had lived while working there. His speculation proved true for on his right a short distance from the hill he could see what was evidently an old cabin. He started towards it and ar- 03 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 140 ---------- rived at the door within a few minutes. The door was standing open and one glance inside showed that no one had lived there for some time. Barton looked around him. The remains of a woodpile lay rotting at one side, weeds grew thick around the door and the roof was beginning to cave in. He was reminded of a reclamation scheme he had once observed on a moose skin. Burned on the skin was a deserted cabin, near it a broken rocker and an old shaft. Back of the house grew tall evergreen trees, just as they did here. A moose was crossing over to the rocker, again return-ing to his own haunts. Beneath the picture was the following verse: "No sound breaks the stillness now, in the soft waving light Of Alaska's dark winters all frozen so tight; The miner is gone, the prospector fled, The claim is abandoned, their hopes are all dead." As this flashed through Barton's mind he entered the cabin. A musty damp odor prevailed. In one corner was a bed, maga-zines now yellowed with age strewn over it. By the window was a table with a candle on it and a pack of faded dog-eared cards. On the nails about the room were old clothes now grown moldy. Barton made the cabin habitable for the night and soon had a good fire built in the little stove which looked as if it too were ready to totter over with age. The next morning after a breakfast of hot coffee and bacon, Barton started feverishly on his search begun the preceding day. Toward the end of the day, with the aid of his pick, he located a shaft sunk in the earth. Now he had found what he was working for. Realizing that it would take several days before he could clear out the accumulated dirt he stopped for the night and again made camp. He continued his work day after day and by the end of the fifth day he was panning out a shovelful of the earth in which there were glimmerings of the yellow dust which he knew so well. The result was beyond all expectation! Assuredly some misfortune had befallen the former prospector or such a find would not have remained unknown! Barton panned out several more shovelfuls to assure himself of the richness of his discovery and then returned to the cabin. Mosquitos were thick, for it was the latter part of June and a warm summer night. Stopping only long enough to build a fire in the stove, Barton went out to gather twigs and green wood for a smudge to drive them away. As he was gathering the fuel he heard voices from the direction of the cabin and Barton quickly retraced his steps. ILI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 141 ---------- Meanwhile Julia and Ilkan were hurrying over the trail, plan-ning the trip so they could make a roadhouse each night. No misfortune had befallen them and they were making good time until the fifth day. They were traveling over a rough part of the trail covered with "niggerheads," those bunches of earth with tufts of grass on them, made apparently to test man's patience and perserverance. Julia was stepping, first on top of one, then between the next two, then stumbling onto the next one. It made progress decidedly tedious and very slow. They were just about through this stretch of country when Julia slipped and fell. A sprained ankle was the result and this made traveling still slower. It was impossible to reach a roadhouse that night, but luck favored them for they saw smoke rising between some trees, and follow- ing to where the smoke came from they beheld a small log cabin. No one was inside at the time so they walked in and made them-selves at home, knowing that if the owner were a true Alaskan they would be perfectly welcome. As Barton neared the door of the cabin he stopped for a mo-ment to listen to the voices. He recognized that of a man and woman, but this was not all. The voice of the woman was strangely familiar. It seemed like a voice he had heard years ago, but for a moment he could not place it. He stepped into the cabin. There, as he expected, were a man and a woman. The man was an Eskimo whom he had seen when on one of his trips to Chugiack to mail the check to his daughter-his little Julia, who was living down in the States-but the woman-where had he seen her be-fore? He knew he had not seen her and yet there was something peculiarly familiar about her. Then she spoke: "I have sprained my ankle and we have stopped here to see if I could do anything for it and to arrange for some kind of lodg-ing." That voice-now he knew of whom he was thinking, whose name he was trying to recall. This woman was almost the exact image of his beloved wife who had died some twenty-five years ago. Could it be possible that his little Julia had grown up to be so much like her mother, and could this be little Julia? But no! she could not be this old, and yet, as he counted it up, it had been twenty-five years. Of course she would have changed! And she would be just about the age of this woman standing before him. Without answering her request he came closer to her. "Could it be possible that your name is Julia- -Julia Barton?" he wavered. Julia looked up in astonishment. "Why, yes, that is just my name. How could you ever know it? You're not-are you-?" OLI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 142 ---------- But the question remained unfinished. Before she could say any-thing more she was caught up in the arms of her father, who mur- Inured over and over as he kissed her, "My daughter!-my little Julia!" That night after supper Isaac Barton told Julia of all that had befallen him, after questioning her as to how she happened to come to this far Northland. He told her of his rich find and what it would mean to them. They sat up long and talked of the plans for the future. llkan would return to his people and they would start immediately for the States where they would spend the win-ter getting the men and machinery necessary to carry on the min-ing work. As the sun slowly went down to rise again in less than two hours, a voice was heard coming from the little old deserted cabin in the wilderness. The voice was that of Isaac Barton, the words Robert Service's, and they rose and fell clearly on the night air: "I wanted the gold, and I sought it; I scrabbled and miucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy-I fought it; I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold, and I got it- Came out with a fortune last fall, Yet somehow life's not what I thought it, And somehow the gold isn't all." FAITH CONDIT. 1LT c l0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 143 ---------- SECOND PRIZE ESSA Y ' e Great War and Democracy" Much has bleen said of the horrors of the great war, and no doubt a vast amount more could lie added. The spectacle of the earth's peoples bending their energies to kill and destroy, sacri-ficing the best men of our generation-such is the international anarchy which has engulfed the world. Can any good come out of this chaos? If so, will the gains ever offset the losses? Now let us consider some advantages resulting from this seeming ruin. That up to the beginning of this conflict the bulk of the peo-ple had manifested apathy toward international, and even na-tional politics, has frequently been pointed out. Each seemed content to follow his own petty business. "Politics don't interest me," was a common remark. But what a change has taken place in the attitude of the individual since the opening of the struggle between nations! It has been brought home to him with tragic force that the nation dominates the individual, even in matters of life and death. This realization is bearing fruit; it is making for true democracy. For example, in England about a year after the war began, King George criticised cartoonists for caricaturing the kaiser; he said it was an indignity directed toward his class. The people re-plied through their representatives in Parliament by cutting off the pensions of his majesty's alien relatives. The women of England, who before the war had no immediate chance of getting the ballot, despite the activity of a few suffra-gettes, will now be granted suffrage because of their heroic in-dustry and sacrifice during the struggle. And it remained for the world war to overthrow despotism in Russia. Previous uprisings of liberal and intellectual groups had been crushed with an iron hand, and the reformers banished to Siberia. At the opening of hostilities the majority of the soldiers recruited for the Russian army were illiterate and ignorant. They, like their fathers before them, had tilled the soil for their masters; they had known nothing but hard work and meagre fare; they had been tractable, blindly obedient to constituted authority. But here and there in the various regiments were men who had read and thought, men with a vision of those wonderful ideas- liberty and equality. These men talked, cautiously, of course, but never-theless, effectively. Such ideas the bulk of the men had barely heard of before, an then only as something to be shunned. But they listened, fascinated. And these talks filled in time during ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 144 ---------- their ample periods of inactivity. New desires soon stirred in their breasts; their vision grew broader, and they formed a truer conception of their own worth. Thus by word of mouth these unlettered soldiers learned of democracy. The conditions brought about by war had opened their eyes. So when the despised Duma made the bold stroke that hurled the despot from his throne, the army raised their guns to proclaim a constitutional government. The echo of this revolution was heard in Germany. Social-ists, who had long been restive under the plural voting system, now urged manhood suffrage in no uncertain terms. This demand is being considered seriously by the government, though before the war it had been ignored. Also, the unprecedented slaughter in this war has in a large measure abolished the traditional gulf between officers and men. For even through the gilt and regalia of officers, death stalks. Indeed, so many officers have been killed that it has necessitated the wholesale promotion of enlisted men. Death is a great leveler. When one sees men killed and wounded about him, indiscrimin-ately, one realizes that we all have the same capacity for suffering -that we all are of common clay. And now, in the fighting nations the people no longer see in war a picture of stalwart troops marching gaily behind the colors to stirring martial music. They know better. They know war as a hideous specter that kills and mutilates the men on the field and starves and makes heart-sick the women, children and old men at home. So steeped are these people in blood and sorrow that when the conflict is over they will rise, one and all, to de-mand a peace that is secure and permanent. President Wilson, on the advent of the United States into the great war, voiced our country's position as standing for broader democracy among the peoples of the earth and for a League of Nations to enforce world peace. So we have reason to believe that, although the world will have sacrificed hosts of its best men in the conflict, still those left behind and their descendants will find this a more just world in which to live. Thus the great war will not have been in vain.

Heretofore there has been individual competi- tion in declamation, five being chosen for the finals from a tryout and the winner and second choice receiving a prize of ten and five dollars respectively. The debate was conducted in the same man-ner. Six were chosen from the tryout for the final contest, three on a side, selected by lot, the winning team receiving a thirty dollars cash prize to be divided equally among its members. This year a committee consisting of members of the Junior and Senior classes met with the members of the faculty contest committee and arranged the following contest: Dramatic reading, 20 points; humorous reading, 20 points; extempore talk on a current topic, 10 points; and a debate, 50 points; totaling 100 points, each class to be represented by one speaker in each event; the contest in debate to have a team of three on a side; the total cash prize of fifty dollars for both debate and declamation to go to the class receiving the greatest number of points. Saturday evening, April 7, in the Normal Auditorium, the Juniors and Seniors again met in deadly combat. This time, how-ever, not a contest in physical prowess, but to establish the su-premacy in public speaking. Both classes were well represented. The following people participated: Margery Draper, Elsie Miescke and Ellen Peterson representing the Juniors in the two readings and the extempore talk, while Martha Johanson, Frances t~it 146 'Ir- ____'Y U l ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 147 ---------- Miescke JUNIOR CoNTFI-si'.N'TS P'eterson Aim B oom il Vanderlinden I )r a per McKenzie and Ina Kirkman represented the Seniors.

Affirmative, Juniors; negative, Seniors. The Seniors did not anticipate a landslide. The Juniors re- ceived one vote on the debate but points were only counted for the winners, thus giving the Seniors 100 points. After enough has been deducted for medals for the winners, the balance of the fifty dollar prize money will go toward the pur-chase of a memorial for the school. Although the contest was an experiment, it proved a remark-able success. Both teams did extremely well and deserve the honor and respect of not only their classmates, but the student body and the school as a whole. Class spirit was evidenced in a most kindly feeling and the Juniors proved themselves true sportsmen in defeat. C. L.

BROWN Vice-President - - - VIDA DEIGH - Treasurer - - - ARNOLD KAAS Sergeant-at-Armis - - MR. FARREL Klipsun Reporter At the beginning of the school year last September a precedent was established which is worthy of notice. While at our Normal, feeling toward the lower classmen has never been rampant, yet there has been a decided advantage and pleasure resulting from the union of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes into one class known as the Elementary. This class is the smallest in the school, yet its influence is felt in various phases of Normal activities. Its members are found taking active parts in various organizations and clubs of the school, Rural Life, Philos, Aletheia, Ohiyesa, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and the Board of Control. Our members, not yet having learned the devices whereby it is possible to skim along without studying, are, of course, brilliant leaders in class recitation, and are always wide awake. Now, there are exceptions to most rules, and it is true that one of our choicest young men fell asleep in English one Monday morning while Mr. Parrish was reading Paradise Lost. There was consid- erable debate at the time, as to whether he was overcome by sul-phurous fumes or lulled to sleep by Mr. Parrish's rich, melodious voice. Both sides presented able arguments but a decision was never reached, because a few days later the measles claimed him as a victim, and all conjecture was merged into sympathy. Our class meetings have been enlivened by the addition of parliamentary drill and occasional programs. Our parties have always been occasions for a general good time. They will long be retained as pleasant memories of our school life. None that at-tended the "Children's Party" and the Christmas Tree are likely to forget. On March 10th, the class was entertained by Miss Estella Burnside at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Henderson. Some good individual work was done by the basketball team. The team work was not so good. The Kline cup was never in danger of being captured by our team. However, effort is always to be commended whether or no the object striven for be won. We shall remember our team dared to oppose the two stronger teams. We feel, as a class, that our success and pleasant social times together have been due to the interest our class advisors, Mr. Philippi, Miss Keeler, Miss Sands and Mr. Chute, have exerted in our behalf. May they accept our appreciation. tJr raC "1 rII J a ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 165 ---------- I\ 7 urIii ,, LIZAT1131"L Z F ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 166 ---------- [7.; " 41 l'a~pl ,. , l, y f , . rg. _,-~ - ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 167 ---------- Junior Class First Semester OFFICERS Second Semester CHAS.

We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all classes are created equal; that they are endowed by the faculty with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, organization, and the pursuit of learning. That to secure these rights, faculty advisors are instituted among classes as deriving their just power from the consent of Dr. Nash, and that, when, under the leadership of these advisors, any class attains unusual honor and success, it is the right of that class to claim its due respect and distinction. Prud-ence, indeed, will dictate that this respect should not be sought for light and transient causes, but when a long train of accomp-lishments and successes evince the superior quality of any class, it is the right of that class, indeed, its duty, to demand this recog-nition. Such has been the achievement of the Junior class. The history of the class of '18 is a history of repeated accomplishments and victories. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world: It is the largest class in the history of this Normal school, and, according to a good authority, the best. It has contributed star men to every field of this school's athletic work. It has supported with its presence and enthusiasm all school events-athletic, social, literary and otherwise. It has won the Kline Cup, gaining two out of three games from the Seniors. O, rf7 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 168 ---------- It has given the Senior boys a decisive defeat in the game of basketball. It has led the other classes in social events: First-By having a big party and a big picnic for the class as a whole; second, by dividing the class into groups and conducting group parties and picnics in great number throughout the year; third, by conducting these mixers in a dignified manner, in accordance with "Scudder's Rules of Decorum." It has given a class party where there were more gentlemen than ladies in attendance, thus breaking all rules of precedent in this Normal. It has given an entertaining program in Assembly, wherein the Faculty and Seniors were so successfully imitated that they had trouble in proving to themselves their own identity. It has given, with great success, the stage production, "Merely Mary Ann." We, therefore, the members of the class of '18, appealing to the senses of justice of our readers, in the memory of these acts, solemnly claim and declare that the Junior Class is, and ought to be, entitled to a higher distinction than its contemporaries.

ALBERT HENNES -- - ---- President ETNA SHORE - ----- Vice-President BEATRICE LONTILL ---- - Secretary DENNIS TROTH - - - - - - - - Treasurer The Seniors had their first social function during the Hol-lowe'en time and came appropriately and fantastically garbed for the masquerade and entered into the jollity with a vim, forgetting their dignity en route. The "stunts" were clever, the games ex-citing, and delicious refreshments served in a bower of autumn leaves were duly appreciated, likewise the graceful (lancing of some of the Senior girls. In spite of the busy days preceding the Christmas holidays a number of Seniors, garbed for a National Costume Party, as-sembled to enjoy another care-free evening. The program showed all the nations to be on equal footing, as did also the folk-dancing in the gym effectively prove the Seniors to be incomparable lin-guists- Norwegians (lanced and conversed with Spaniards in the easiest manner imaginable, as well as partaking of delicious re-freshments together. Our departing Mid-Years enjoyed a farewell banquet at the 13 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 172 ---------- Leopold. Instead of the customary formal reception tendered them by their classmates they enjoyed an evening of globe-trot-ting and were most efficiently directed by capable guides through winding tunnels, up hill and down dale. They viewed the fashions of Paris, the mysteries of Egypt, and partook of cooling refresh-ments ere they turned weary footsteps homeward. Senior Class Day-oh, yes-we knew the faculty members were languishing for a glimpse of themselves in their natural state. Sh! Don't tell anyone, but did you see that ghostly line of phantomsi noiselessly tip-toeing down the steps of numerous boarding houses in the "cold gray dawn" of Saturday, May 5th? Those were the Senior girls starting on the "Senior Sneak" to the tall timbers of Lake Whatcom. Did they have a good time? Some people do ask foolish questions! Another "Sh !" for there goes the whole Senior Class on their Senior "walkout." No gray phantoms this time for naturally, when boys have to be taken in on a thing of that kind, they can't be aroused ere the break of day. Worries over papers soon due and all the maladies peculiar to Seniors were forgotten and no one had a care except the fear that appetites might exceed supplies. But why such idle fears-Senior "eats" committees are wise beyond their years! The "last days" were a mad whirl of events-one splendid time after another, headed by the President's reception to the Seniors, and succeeded by the Junior-Senior reception, the Alum-ni banquet, Class Day, the excellent presentation of "The Piper," and the end drawing very near. On Sunday, May 27th, an excellent Baccalaureate address was delivered by Rev. Dike of Tacoma. "Positively our last appearance" occurred on May 29th, when the long-desired diplomas were presented. The speakers for the day were President Todd of the College of Puget Sound in Ta-coma, and Virginia Mathes, chosen by the faculty, and Louise Buchanan, chosen by the class, to represent the Seniors. It is fitting here to voice our hearty appreciation of the guid-ance of Miss Norton, Miss Baker, and Mr. Bever, as our class ad-visors, and to bid our old B. S. N. S., its faculty, and remaining students a long farewell. ~~------Li ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 173 ---------- HAZEL F.

Edgar W orth Other Children.--- Margaret Fraser Wilma Lambert Ruth Strand Hallie W esterlund Harold Flick In selecting "The Piper," by Josephine Preston Peabody, for 223 223 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 224 ---------- their dramatic offering of the year, the Senior class chose a play of rare distinction. Several years ago this play won first prize in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre prize contest. It has been gratifying to American men of letters to see an American dra-matic production honored by presentation at the birth- place of Shakespeare. "The Piper" was produced at Stratford-on-Avon under the direction of A. E. Benson, the distinguished English actor. In America the play was produced in lavish fashion by the New Theatre Company in New York, with Edith Wynn Matheson as the Piper. It has proven very popular with schools and col-leges in recent years. "The Piper" is a poetic drama full of beautiful rythm in ex-quisitely fashioned blank verse and splendid passion. Mrs. Marks-for the authoress is the wife of Lionel Marks of Harvard-has taken the simple legend of the Piper of Hamelin town, made famous by Browning, and has built upon it a drama of significance. In her version the Piper appears as a wandering stroller,--a creature all warmth and passion, whose mission it is to go up and down the world's highways setting free the caged things. He finds the Hamelin children behind the bars of Hame-lin lusts,-crushed by the parents' sordid lives. He led them away to the cave in the hill, not through the spirit of revenge for fail-ure to receive a thousand guilders, but to show Hamelin folk what children mean in their lives. With splendid passion he ar-raigns the materialists, the money-grabbers, the ignorant fathers and gossiping mothers. The play is really a plea for childhood and its rights. Finally the love of Veronika for her little lame boy Jan forces the Piper to return the children. The play ends happily in direct traditional tragedy of the Hamelin children. The play is to be produced with a conventional setting, no change of scenery being attempted. Neutral curtains will suggest the out-of-doors, with several small fir trees placed conventionally to signify the forest. Incidental music by the High School Or-chestra will lend to the enchantment of the fairy-spell of the Piper. Beautiful effects will be worked out with colored light at strong dramatic points in the scenes. The following strong cast of characters shows how truly rep- resentative of the class a play of this nature is, combining leading and minor characters, in dances and crowd-scenes. The Piper is being produced under the stage management of \Ir. Hoppe of the Department of Expression, whose previous successes with difficult and elaborate drama assure an exquisite rendering. 400= r-0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 225 ---------- MERELY MARY ANN Cast of Characters: Lancelot, a composer .................

The play is one of Israel Zangwill's productions and has met with great success. Mary Ann is a simple little coun-try girl who slaves in a London lodging house. Lancelott, a pen-niless composer, becomes attached to her, but is kept by his aris-tocratic pride from marrying her. Yet when Mary Ann inherits a fortune and moves away, Lancelot still finds in her the inspir-ation which leads him to success. The two meet again in after years and all ends happily when Lancelot finds the wealthy and much sought after Marion to be still at heart, Merely Mary Ann. Paul Thompson well represented Lancelot in his fiery pride and moody despair, and Myrtle Pugsley portrayed with wonder-ful skill the at once humorous and pathetic Mary Ann. The humorous side of the play was kept up by Arthur Crawshaw as the happy-go-lucky Peter, and Ruth Craig, as the landlady, who is raising her daughter Rosie (Ruth Elander) to be a "lidy." In the last act Paul Washke, as Lord Valentine, caused much merri- ment with his ridiculous egotism. The minor characters, the Irish O'Gormans, and the flirtatious Trippitt sisters, who lodge at Mrs. Leadbetter's; the Rev. Samuel Smedge; Lady Chalmer, Marion's patroness, and her guests; and Howard, the proverbial, immobile footman, were all well acted. Last, but not least, is Dick, Mary Ann's canary, who keeps her from being too lonely in her lodging-house days. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 226 ---------- Al ::: v ~ c: a r o z ~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 227 ---------- p ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 228 ---------- HOUSE NEXT DOORn CAST "THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR" Which Thespian starred in this production? To tell the truth, Mr. Hoppe made such apt selection of the cast that everybody starred, making it exceedingly difficult to commend any one par-ticular person. The auditorium was crowded on the date of the performance, March 3rd, and the audience heartily expressed its appreciation. From every possible viewpoint "The House Next Door" was a suc-cess and the Thespian Dramatic Club gained eminence thereby. Will Beardslee, as Sir John Cotswold, the English nobleman, who had come down in the world financially, but had retained ever iota of his original pride, sustained the heavy character work. His conception was so realistic that many were heard to exclaim, "I'll bet Red won't talk above a whisper on Monday!" His beneficent enemy, Sir Isaac Jacobson, played by Charles Leber, occasioned Sir John as much displeasure as he occasioned pleasure for the audience. This somewhat idealistic characteriza- tion of the Jew was made very attractive by Mr. Leber. E£ t ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 229 ---------- The four young people of the rival houses, English and Jew, were vivaciously played by the Misses Armstrong and Christen-son, Messrs. Anstett and Thompson. These young people occu-pied the stage much of the time, but they and their love tangles were intensely interesting from beginning to end. Lady Cotswold and Lady Jacobson, played by Misses Hansen and Layton, gave glimpses of the domineered and domineering types of woman. Both characters were well rendered. Comedy was supplied at intervals by Walter Lewis, operatic agent (a la Reuben Wagner), by Capt. Clive Trevor, exceedingly English, "doncher know," (John Miller), by Vining and Maxmilian, merely servants, (Clare Altman and Elwood Dairs). A mere sight of the "Presbyterian," who was a "Jew at heart," and the degen-erate and brainless Trevor were sufficient to provoke laughter. The varied trials of the butler class were conclusively but patiently exhibited in Vining and Maxmilian.

Students and the public were admitted free of charge. The plays were chosen for their simplicity and variety. The first was "A Pot of Broth," by W. B. Yeats, an exceedingly fanciful and rollicking Irish comedy. The second was "A Bright Morning," by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero; a recent translation from the Spanish, and made up of sparkling lines. The last was "Thieves," by Glenn Hughes; a dramatic sketch laid in the tene-ment district of an American city. In the production of these plays no attempt was made at elab-orate scenery, informality and suggestion were considered more appropriate in this particular case. On the whole, the acting was very good. The most difficult, and perhaps the most successful, characterization was accomplished by Miss Berniece Welch in the role of Annie, the old news-vender, in "Thieves." The part re- ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 231 ---------- quired an artistic conception as well as intensity of playing, and Miss Welch lived up to both these requirements. Of an entirely different nature was the character of Sibby Coneely in "A Pot of Broth," and this Miss Mabel Smith portrayed with delightful spirit and feeling. Miss Jennie Olson and Miss Mildred Bozorth played the women characters in "A Bright Morning," and were delightfully vivacious and spontaneous. Miss Olsen had an un-commonly difficult task as Dona Laura, the chic little dowager who lied so gracefully and flirted so quaintly. The out-standing man's role was that of Don Gonzalo in "A Bright Morning." Albert Booman interpreted this irritable and loveable old gentleman with exquisite skill and appreciation. Roy Bean proved a very attractive and picturesque beggar in "A Pot of Broth," and John Estes played him a good second as the whimsical and stupid John Coneely. Bert Foster and Smith Carleton handled the principal men's parts in "Thieves," and "It's just a little kid that ran away from home" ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 232 ---------- hoth characters stood out as clear-cut conceptions. Foster was well-suppressed in his heavy-man work, and Carleton showed the proper reserve and poise for a refined juvenile man. Other minor parts were acceptably taken by Herbert Davis, Reuben Alm, Her-bert Potter, and Miss Miriam Sherman. The performance was given under the direction of Mr. Glenn Hughes, who came to B. S. N. S. from the Forest theatre at Carmel-by- the-Sea, and has won enthusiastic thanks from the student body as a whole, to say nothing of the Philo-Aletheian group. H. S. SENIOR CLASS PLAYS Remember ye Friday night, April 20? Well, rather! For then the Seniors of the B. S. N. S. High School gave their class plays, "Pygmalion and Galatea," and "A Proposal Under Diffi-culties." The casts were "all-star" and hence, under the direction of the "famous" stage-directors, Foster and King, attained a "right" good performance. The cast for "Pygmalion and Ga-latea" was: Pygmalion, an Athenian sculptor.......Kenneth Selby Galatea, an animated statue........Gertrude Kaufman Agesimos, a slave to Chrysos ..............................

K in g All sorts of enthusiasm was put into the plays, that they might be a success; not so much for the players' glory as for that of our principal, Mr. Parrish. There was a good house and all went well, except for a few slips, and for Mr. Foster's continuous calls of "Louder!" "Slower!" and "Wait 'till they're through laughing." The costumes were pretty, the make-up fetching, due to Mr. Hughes. We thank him and also our present property manager, Gladys Day. At the drop of the curtain we drew a deep breath, prepared ourselves to be "took" by Mr. Philippi, and repaired, one and all, to Kenneth Selby's home where he received us ere IIOo ur troupe should be dissolved. _ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 233 ---------- Nobody asked you to speak "PR UNELLA" On the evening of 'May 12th, in the Assembly Hall, the Alki- siah Literary Society presented the poetical play, "Prunella," by Laurence Housman and Granville Barker. The production was novel for several reasons. In the first place, the cast was composed entirely of girls. Fortunately, the characters of the play are all fanciful enough that this substitu-tion of sex was not ludicrous, and, if anything, heightened the delicacy of the scenes. "Prunella" has a quaint, high- walled Dutch garden for its setting, and this was reproduced on the local stage with as ef-fective illusions as the equipment would allow. The colors of the decorations and the costumes showed taste and careful planning. The story of the play is a charming one. Pierrot, the tradi-tional hero of pantomime, falls in love with Prunella, a sheltered flower of a girl, who lives with her three aunts, Prim, Prude, and Privacy, and the band of mummers, followers of Pierrot, rollick about the sedate and proper garden until they captivate the heart ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 234 ---------- 'Come down Pierrette, come down, and be mine" "Ell ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 235 ---------- That somebody ought to be you' of the unworldly-wise Prunella. At night, in the quiet moon-light, with the aid of the conventional, but necessary ladder, the elopement is effected. Three years later the garden is shown again; this time it is deserted. The aunts are dead, vines have overgrown the walls, the statue of Love is weather-worn, and in the midst of this chaos, Pierrot returns, and sad at heart, and strangely meditative. He is looking for Prunella, whom he deserted after a year of married life, for he has found that "his heart has become bad company for him"-a heretofore unknown experience for this wandering, foot- loose, lover of all the world. In his despair he cries out, and the statue of Love mocks him, upbraiding him for his selfish-ness, and advising that he call for Pierrette-as he has named Prunella-not for the sake of vanity, but out of his soul and from the anguish of his heart. In the meantime Prunella has wandered back, weary, de-spondent, only to find herself forgotten by her friends, and with-out a home, for Pierrot has bought the place in memory of her. They find each other in the garden where they first met and ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 236 ---------- talked of love in the still moonlight when the birds were singing. Pierrot begs for forgiveness, and believes for a time that Pierrette is a spirit come to torment him. But she convinces him of her reality by taking him in her arms in an embrace that lifts him up to a new realization of love and sacrifice. Once more, as they stand thus, though the garden is in ruins, and though their two lives lie marred behind them, the air grows sweet with perfume, and the birds, awaking in the night, sing even more sweetly than they had ever sung before, because now their song was made rich by sorrow. Miss Elizabeth Moore played the part of Prunella, and Miss Mary Donald was Pierrot. Both these characters were interpreted with delightful delicacy, and the twenty other members of the Alkisiahs who supported them contributed spirit and atmosphere throughout the play. The production was directed by Mr. Glenn Hughes. 0 C Y 1 1C3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 237 ---------- J A A ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 238 ---------- iI I;\P;a ::pp i': Beware All Stranded Girl Scouts rFv 1i r ir ; r,; ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 239 ---------- 1 NorLmiafle During Vacation Time-As the Bo Normal Life During Vacation Time-Ask the Boys ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 240 ---------- I It V Girls Who Play Basketball 240 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 241 ---------- It JAL 72i~i7i -4 III The Facuilty 3Jlisl Banquiet ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 242 ---------- The Tree Dwellers and Their Friends ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 243 ---------- Are There Any Boys at the Normal?

Much work must be crowded into a few busy days already full to overflowing with school duties and the labors incident to the closing of the year and graduation. No doubt there is room for improvement in this edition of Klipsun, but your criticism should be tempered by these circumstances. The success of this edition of the Klipsun is in no small degree due to the artistic engravings, the work of the Western Engraving and Colortype Company of Seattle; the Brown Studio of Bellingham, and the Union Printing, Bind-ing Stationery Company of Bellingham. Special mention should be made of Mr. C. S. Beard, man-ager, and Mr. Frank H. Barnett, foreman of the composing room of the Union Printing, Binding Stationery Company. I sincerely hope that the Klipsun of 1917 will carry a pleasing message to each member of the Senior Class and its other readers. BERNIECE WELCH, Editor.

St. Paul, Minn., installed the Palmer Method in her entire school system last September. The Palmer Method had already "made good" in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and scores of other big cities. We reach the Pupil through the Teacher. We increase the Teacher's market value, and diminish her labor. There are many thousands of grate-ful teachers throughout the United States, to whom the Palmer method has spelled Opportunity and Success. The remarkable growth of the business of The A. N. Palmer Company indicates, indubitably, that Public School Officials appreciate our unlimited ability to teach teachers the mechanics and pedagogy of common-sense, serviceable handwriting. The Palmer Method self-teaching Manual, single copy, 25c postpaid. Thousands have acquired a practical business hand without the help of any other teacher. All inquiries answered promptly and precisely. Write us about supplies. THE A. N. PALMER CO. 30 Irving Place, New York, N. Y. Palmer Building, Cedar Rapids, Ia. 120 Boylston St., Boston, Mass.

The Normal Book Store, being a part of this institution, also desires to keep in touch with its patrons and has this proposition to make: To those of you who will be located in places where it will be im-possible for you to get many of the things needed in teaching we will agree to fill any order sent us providing we have the goods in stock and providing cash is sent to cover. You are all more or less familiar with our prices, so in making your remittances please send enough to cover the article or articles, together with the postage. If there is anything left we will return the balance to you or give you credit for same. Those of you who are located handy to regular dealers, we advise that you buy of them. It is not our desire to secure business that right-fully belongs to them. NORMAL BOOK STORE C. C.

Now the sunbeams spread apart again, Opening a nation's heart of pain, Roused by the voices from afar Made helpless by a maddening war, And off to France a mighty throng, Leaving behind in each heart a thorn. Spirit of love, spirit of peace Cheer you onward to that release, Honor and justice within your power Over here we await the hour Of your return-our nation's joys, Loving angels watch o'er you-God save you boys. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 20 ---------- School Spirit In every institution there comes after a time an indefinable something which is known as school spirit. The school spirit is not an artificial loyalty, but it is the very soul of the institution which permeates the life of every in-dividual. It is the heart or essence of the school, which breathes life into its foster children, leaving an imprint which becomes in them a power not only for today or tomorrow, but for time to come. The Washington State Normal School as its name implies is a school' whose purpose is to train teachers that they may efficiently lead others to ful-fill their missions in life. It does not forget that spiritual influence is the vital force of every life. School life does not consist alone of the study of books and professional methods but of an enthusiastic ambition, co-operative activity, for the inti-mate and splendid fellowship and, greatest of all, the pervading atmosphere of the spirit of democracy. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 21 ---------- TRUSTEES C.

Changing, hurrying, shifting of shadows, And the high grey fan of rain-streaks in the east. Darker, darker, With the wind rising and falling more loudly in the trees, The waves' slap sounding stronger and quicker on the sand, Where the drift-wood, Sad, spent, weather- weary travelers of the deep, Lie grimly, white and naked to the rain. When it shall come. Swift whirr of the branches. An audible sigh. as from the heavens. A closing in of shadows, And the parting flicker of white light: Spatter on the rocks, Steady settling-down of the ominous grey-blackness. A strange earth- murmur of languid resignation: From the ferns And the hill-flowers A soft and sleepy rustle, As of gratified desire, And then---the rain- the rain ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 25 ---------- DR.

This period of -war through which we are passing is no exception. It is forcing upon us with ever increasing emphasis a new ideal for citizenship. The outcome of the war seems to revolve itself largely into a question of efficiency,-the ef-ficiency of democracy versus autocracy. We are placing the burden of the deadly efficiency of Germany on her educational system, and there can be no doubt that the burden of our own efficiency or the lack of it, will ulti-mately fall back on our own educational system. Before the war had fairly begun in Europe we felt a tightening of the lines in our own curriculum. People began to cry for the elimination of non-essentials, the emphasis of those subjects that tended toward an efficient, loyal citizenship. Perhaps the art department has felt the change more than any other. In our art teaching we have had to give up art for art's sake and take up art for life's sake. We no longer believe that beauty is its sole excuse for being, because we have added a demand for usefulness, and we say, with Kenyon ,Cox, that the highest aim of art is to make some useful thing beautiful. ,TIhis has meant taking art out of the hands of a few and placing it in the hands of everyone who wants it and needs it. And who does not want and need it? Art in its new development has become the most universal and demo-cratic of our modes of expression. The man choosing a letter head for his business, the woman arranging the furniture of a room or choosing trimming for a dress, the child thinking about the arrangement of an arithmetic paper, the poet describing a sunset--one and all, consciously or unconsciously, ex-ercise the art faculty. It is this development of judgment, of choosing one thing in preference to another, of weighing one thing against another, that makes art teaching of such value in the development of a democratic citizen-ship. It is our business as art teachers to develop the principles which under-lie all good judgment. We must establish a standard which any child may use, and give to all who come to us a better and nobler vision of what life in its fullness ought to be. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 80 ---------- ii ' - ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 81 ---------- ntuhin Art (lub The Studio Art Club was organized in 1916 in response to the demand for an organization whose purpose it was to develop appreciation and knowl-edge of art in various phases. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Druse this aim has been fulfilled to a wonderful degree. In order to cover as wide a field as possible the work of the club has changed with each quarter of the current school year. The first quarter was devoted to the study of charcoal as a medium. The work of the second quarter took up costuming designing and interior decoration. During December the various painters of the nativity were studied and formed the basis of the pro-gram for the Christmas meeting of the club. The work of the third quarter began with the study of-art appreciation and took up especially the study of landscape. This included not only the study of representative landscape ar-tists but also the making of original landscapes in various mediums. The last quarter took up the study of applied and commercial designs. This included the study of design principles, the suitability of the design to its purpose, and the actual application of the design to the various articles, such as boxes, textiles, hand-woven materials and rugs. The posters made by the club for various school activities have received an unusual amount of comment. The most practical evidence of this lies in the fact that some of the business men of the city have offered their poster work to the club, all posters so made to be paid for at the usual rates. The club has had interests outside of its splendid work program. Its Valentine party, held at the home of Miss Druse, will go down in the history of the club as one of the prettiest, best-planned and best-managed affair of the school year. The programs have included a social hour which gave the girls a splen-did opportunity for more intimate acquaintanceship. As a part of the club work the girls took charge of the teas given in connection with the art exhibits. Taken altogether the year has been a pleasant and profitable one for the club. It has deepened the interests for all its members in the art field and many have decided to make some line of art a subject for more extensive study. OFFICERS.

Miss Druse, Miss Boring ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 82 ---------- 01r Art TEi-itb It was this democratic tendency of art that struck one most forcibly in the exhibits held under the efficient supervision of Miss Druse and her as-sistants, Miss Boring, Miss Milne and Miss Smith. There was no lack of the more traditional phases of art teaching, but naturally it was the newer fea-tures that caught and held the attention. One of these new features was that of toy making, which used thin wood, coping saw and oil paints. This section attracted particular attention from the leaders and workers in schools, because of the opportunity it of-fers for hand work that is worth while, and yet does not require expensive equipment. Each pattern was original and there were more than one hundred varities. The types of patterns easily available include animals and birds, Mother Goose figures, historic figures, such as the Quaker, and industrial fig-ures. The types of projects to be developed include toys made on a base or on wheels, jointed toys, furniture, book racks and window boxes. Another feature was a village street, showing the various buildings to be found there-the church, the school, the butcher, the baker, the blacksmith, the pstoffice, and other buildings typical of village life. The interiors were complete to the last detail, not even the flowers on the teacher's desk in the school house being omitted, let alone the Hoover signs in the stores. The making of this problem involved the use of every bit of ingenuity and re-sourcefulness the class could muster. It involved a study of rural condi-tions, buildings and industries. It was a problem in geography, sociology, history, arithmetic, drawing, construction and painting rolled into one. An entirely different class of work was that found in the weaving sec-tion. During the year a number of pattern looms and a large rug loom had been added to the equipment of the department. The teaching of the weaving-process is begun in the first grade of the Training School, in the weaving of paper mats, and continued thru the work of the various grades until it cul-- minates in the work done on the large commercial looms. On these looms the student learns the process of warp stringing, of making a piece of cloth or a rug, and of weaving a pattern. The products turned out included rugs, table runners, pillow tops and bags. Other phases of the exhibit might be taken up, but enough has been said to show that the art department has worked consistently to make its courses varied and broad enough to give the student a fair foundation on which to build a reasonable standard of appreciation and judgment as well as a reason-able skill of execution. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 83 ---------- The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Rody, Washington State Normal School KUT jUD THE , \M \ Published by the BELLI NG1A M, IUNIOR B.

For the mid-year and May Seniors a larger Messenger was printed containing pictures and special ac-tivities. The demands for the school magazine became so numerous and frequent that it was decided to publish the Messenger every week. Since that time it has served the students as a weekly school newspaper, telling the news and doings of the student body and faculty, giving short stories and especially has it enabled the student body to keep in touch with our alumni, hundreds of whom are reading the Messenger each week. Its continued success has been due to the untiring efforts of its editors and staff, the faithful and efficient work of Miss Edens as literary critic, the loyal support of the student body, and the business men of the city, who have so generously advertised. The Klipsun, the name given to the annual that is published by the Sen-ior Class each year, was first published by the class of 1913. It was the aim of the graduating classes of 1918 to make this Klipsun bigger and better than any that have preceded and the result is the patriotic edition which you hold in your hand. Thru the efforts of Miss Cummins, The Junior was published by the students of the Training School for the first time in the fall of 1916. The material was furnished by students representing each grade and the printing was done by the seventh and eighth grade boys, in connection with their Manual Training work. The Junior is now a semi- annual paper. The first one printed this year was published entirely by the seventh and eighth grade students. It has furnished an inspiration to the teachers and students alike, for there is no greater honor for work well done than to have it printed in The Junior. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 88 ---------- KLIPSUN STAFF t ' ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 89 ---------- JOSEPHINE CONVERSE Editor Klipsun 89 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 90 ---------- 0 KLIPSUN COMMITTEE 9O ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 91 ---------- CASSIE CALES Business Manager of Weekly Messenger Business Manager of Klipsun 91 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 92 ---------- VERA JUUL Associate Editor of Klipsun L.

The mixed chorus has been meeting for practice every Monday evening. All the members have worked with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest. Our first work began with a rehearsing of several extracts from the great Oratorios. After mastering these, with the assistance of Mrs. Nash, Mrs. Spratley and Mr. Harrison T. Raymond, the annual concert was success-fully given on December 15th. PROGRAM OF ORATORIO CONCERT.

The quartet has provided musical entertainments in programs at the Normal and other places, and have been very successful in their desire to entertain. The members are: Frances Ireland, first soprano; Nellie Dick, second soprano; Alberta Getsman, first alto; Lillian Foss, second alto. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 96 ---------- Flo" ii ~\OF I. ,96 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 97 ---------- CHORAL CLUB Under the directorship of Mrs. Thatcher the Choral Club spent a very pleasant and profitable year. The enrolled numbered about seventy. The club met every \Vednesday. A concert was given one evening in which old home songs and patriotic numbers, solos, quartets, semi-choruses and full choruses were sung. Many members of the club are singing in the various churches of the city. The club is grateful to Mrs. Thatcher, not only for her competent leader-ship, but also for her kind attitude which added much to the pleasure of the work.

M. S. PINAFORE The Oratorio Chorus presented the opera "H. M. S. Pinafore," or "The Lass That Loved a Sailor," under the direction of Martin E. Robinson on the evening of March 16th. The opera revolved about the love of the captain's daughter. Sir Joseph Porter, the Lord of the Seas, wishes to marry Josephine, but she loves Ralph Rackstran, the common sailor. Josephine and Ralph plan to elope, but are betrayed by Dick Deadeye. The captain swears at Ralph and is overheard by Sir Joseph who sends him to his cabin in disgrace. But when Sir Joseph learns the cause of the captain's words he sends Ralph to the dungeon. At this state of affairs Buttercup tells that in her girlhood she took care of two little boys whose identity she exchanged. The one is the captain of the ship, the other, Ralph. Sir Joseph is then ready to let Josephine marry Ralph while Hebe, his cousin, proves ample consolation. The captain in turn finds that he has always loved his foster-mother, "Buttercup." The parts were very well sung and acted while the chorus also deserves much praise. Rainhardt Hanson as Sir Joseph, and Willard Yerkes as Cap-tain Corcoran, were dignified as their positions required. The common sail-or, Ralph Rackstraw, aroused pity and admiration in his sorry plight, as acted by Leslie Sorensen. Mr. Holbrook, as Dick Deadeye, Mr. Washke, as Boatswain, and Mr. Edson, as Sing Woe, supplied the humor. Josephine, the captain's daughter, was well sung by Lillian Schoenberg. No one could be angry with Buttercup (Alberta Getsman) even after her astounding confession. Hebe was clever and skillful in consoling Sir Jos-eph and showed good acting by Carolyn Hammond. THE CAST.

The Junior Double Quartet was organized in September under the sup- ervision of Mrs. H. W. Spratley. The Head of the Extension Department of the Normal arranged for sev- eral Lyceum Tours. Some of the places visited were Alki, Geneva, Laurel, and the Eureka school. Some of the memelrs contributed other numbers to the program. At the Eureka school \Villard Yerkes gave a reading which he had written. During the winter the members were entertained by Mrs. Spratley. by William Edson at Marietta and by LJeslie Sorensen at Iaurel.

Steiner, Head of the department of applied Christianity, Iowa college, delivered his inspiring lecture on "The Challenge of the American Spirit." Dr. Steiner is one of the most popular authors, educators and lecturers of the day. Famous of his works are "On the Trail of the Immigrant," "The Russian Revolution," "Anarchy, Its Causes and Cures," and "Tolstoi, the Man and His Message." Dr. Steiner has close acquaintanceship with the foremost people of nearly every nation of the globe. Because of extensive travel and careful study, he is considered an authority on present day problems and as such is made the target for many questions concerning the outcome of the war, but to all such queries his response is that the future is a sealed book. He did say, however, that never before had there been a cleaner set of men in the cantonments under the stars And strips than there are today. Dr. Steiner emphasized that the determining factor of an American is not that he was born here, but that he was born again after he came here. It is spirit rather than blood. The two factors which make a nation hold its people are its language and its history. This country is destined to be arn English speaking nation. Its language has remained triumphant, even creep-ing into the speech of foreigners. America is a history of people rather than a history of kings or dynasties. Dr. Steiner, tho born in Austria, is a true American, and says he would shed the last drop of his blood to prove it. REV. JAMES A. BURNS One of the rare treats of this year was the lecture given by James A. Burns. "Burns of the Mountains," as he is lovingly called, stood before us that evening and as we looked as his tall, gaunt figure and listened to his slow spoken words, we thought of the hardships of poverty and the struggle for a great cause, thru which he had passed, up until the time, and even since he became the founder and president of the Oneida Institute. "Burns of the Mountains" told us in his simple manner the story of his own life, how before he found his mission in life he had been a bitter partici-pant in the mountain feuds in Kentucky. When God spoke to him he heard and he went to work with a zeal to educate his people. From its humble be-ginning in 1889, the Oneida Institute now has an enrollment of five hundred students, the limit which can be accommodated. Today in that lonely place in the heart of the Cumberland Mountains, forty miles from any railroad is a school with property valued at over $100,000, four fine buildings, a twelve hundred acre farm, a saw mill and a wood working shop. A little community of three hundred people has grown up around the campus and for beauty of surroundings it can be hardly equalled. Some of the first graduates are the pillars of the institution today, and are so devoted to their work that they have refused much more renumerative positions offered them by schools of higher education. The graduates take with them the Christian spirit of the school and remain loyal to their training. Burns is a man of broad-vision and a man of prayer. There have been many hard days for Burns and his people but his implicit faith in the Good God above has helped him to surmount every obstacle. Though he is com-pelled to spend so much time away from Oneida, seeking funds for its sup- port, we know that his heart is with his students at all times. The sim-plicity, sweetness and force of this unique character left an impression and an inspiration to do with a vim, the work before us. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 105 ---------- JOHN MASEFIELD While not on our lyceum course, John Masefield was brought to Belling-ham largely thru the efforts of our English Department, and the privilege of hearing him was considered by the students one of, if not the most, important event of its kind during the year. DR. SLOAN. Out of his rich experience as a teacher and editor, Dr. Sloan, of Colum-bia University, brought a timely message to us. He spoke on "Democracy," And said that if there ever was a holy war it is the one we are now in and that we are forced into it without desiring it. He says we have to learn to think in order to realize that we are fighting side by side with other types of democracy, just as enthusiastic, as determined as we are. He explained that much-used term, saying that democracy is a state of mind, which primarily shows itself in every individualistic expression of will, but the real individ-ualistic person is the one who throws himself, body and soul, into the co-op-eration of his fellows for the welfare of all. He said our diplomats of the fu-ture must know the ruling iassion of Europe, must know the man as it was before the war and as it will be after. He urged us to abandon our narrow ideas of a democrat and to try to think somewhat as an Englishman, a French-man, or a citizen of other great democracies. He said that we must get in touch with the aspirations of other great democracies of the universe and re-nounce some of the pride we have in our own country that we may share the pride of other countries. It is up to us to set the example of kindliness, help-fulness and furtherance of equality among men, to those who are striving to be democratic. DR. CONWELL While 1918 was still young and in the resolution-forming period, the most popular lecturer in the world today came with his message which has harn-essed rivers, built bridges, irrigated deserts and supplied weary hearts with new dynamos. This lecture, "Acres of Diamonds," which is one of his seven that have met with almost incredible popularity, was delivered for the five thousand six hundred and ninety-fifth time. "Acres of Diamonds" drives home like a mallet the fact that success is as likely to be found in our own back yard as any place else in the world. One of his numerous illustrations was the true story of a man who spent years studying oil, until "he knew all about oil" so that he could go into the oil fields of Canada and make his fortune. He sold his little farm in Pennsylvania for eight hundred and thirty three dollars and no cents (no sense). Shortly after he left, his successor noted on the little brook in the field a scum which for years had been held back, so that the cattle would drink the water. Investigation proved it to be an oil well whose flow had been dammed for years by the man who "knew all about oil." Today it is worth millions of dollars, but the oil expert sold it for eight hundred and thirty-three dollars and again he said "no sense." ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 106 ---------- Dr. Conwell is a man who has made a science of success. He says that wherever there is a human need there is a great fortune. He showed how the cotton gin, the dustless crayon, the sewing machine, the safety pin, the incubator and many inventions which are indispensable to us now, came on the scene of activity when some person recognized in his homely surround-ings a demand to be filled. Dr. Conwell is a miracle of achievement. In 1876 he started a definite program of donation and for forty years has followed that vision, helping over three thousand young men to win success. However, each must first show an effort and earnestness, for Mr. Conwell helps only those who first help themselves. Altho seventy years of age, he presents a striking ap-pearance. He is tall and powerful and when he grips your hand looks you in the eye, and voices that old statement: "You can do what you will." You cannot help but believe it. He inspires you with a fresh determination to strive on and on and on. HENRI SCOTT A very delightful and brilliant number of the lyceum course was given, by Henri Scott, the bass baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company, ac-companied by Arville Belstad. Mr. Scott had a commanding presence and a physique that goes well with a soloist. His voice was melodious, expressive, and excellently trained. His enunciation was so clear that each word re-sounded throughout the hall. All of his numbers were enjoyed, but perhaps, "A Little Winding Road" and "The Siege of Kazan" will linger longest in our memories. DR. ARTHUR WALWIN EVANS Dr. Arthur Walwin Evans, the nephew of David Lloyd George, told us his impressions of America in a lecture entitled "What America Means to Me." Dr. Evans came to America to take the pulpit formerly occupied by the-distinguished author and preacher, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, at Springfield, Ohio. Here his work attracted the attention of the Lyceum Bureau and calls for his service became so insistent that he resigned his pastorate to devote his entire time to lecturing. In the past four years he has filled almost one-thousand and two hundred engagements. Dr. Evans, who is commonly known as the Welsh wit and humorist, was not long in proving to us that this title was approriately chosen. His lecture bubbled with humor, which spared neither English, French, American, king nor pauper. In one of his striking witticisms he said in reference to the English form of government, "Surely we have a king over there, but who pays any attention to him? Of course he signs the papers. We use him in place of a rubber stamp." Thus we saw that altho the element of fun predominated, his points were well taken. He left with his audience food for reflection. With the intense illustrations he pictured for us the spirit of every nation of the globe; America meant not democracy nor liberty, but fraternity. The common people everywhere are hungering for wider opportunities to live and this can be accomplished only thru fraternalism or universal brotherhood, which must come in order to save the world from monarchy. For this reason, after having traveled extensively, Dr. Evanrs has chosen America for his home. i)1, ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 107 ---------- PROF. M. V. O'SHEA Dr. M. V. O'Shea, of the University of Wisconsin, author of several books on psychology, spoke to us of the "Mental Development Needed in War Times." Among the important things he said: "The world is likely to slip back into darkness during the war. If the war were to stop today this would be the condition in England and possibly in Germany. The exigencies of their war-fare have taken the school teachers, leaving the public practically disinter-gated. The same situation confronts the United States. Twenty per cent of the educators are employed in patriotic occupations, which makes the cer-tification of untrained teachers necessary in many sections of the country. France and England have recognized their danger and are impressing upon their people the patriotism of school work and the training of children after the war. The United States must also recognize this. The twenty per cent of teachers who leave the school room during the time of war to carry on Red Cross, factory, and various other lines of work, will remain away when the war is over. They will become established in their lines and will to an extent forget the training which the school room demands. This means that the children of the nations, upon whom the future depends, lacking trained instructors, will not receive the degree of education otherwise possible. The Government should recognize the importance of teaching and exclude the teachers from the draft. "From somewhere must come a supply to take the place of those who are being killed in Europe at the present time and to fill the demand that the future will hold, whether it still be upon the battlefield or at home. Chem-ists, mechanical, constructive, and civil engineers should also be conserved in all colleges for they will be needed in the work of reconstruction." 107 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 108 ---------- EXTENSION That Bellingham Normal believes in letting her light shine in all parts of the state where teachers have gone from under her guardianship has been abundantly proven by the excellent quality of work carried on this year by the extension department. The slogan for this year's work has been effic- iency and community service. The extension work of this school falls into five divisions which are: ex- tension classes, correspondence work, extension lecture courses given by the faculty, field work, and institute lectures. Excellent developments have taken place in the organization of extension classes, which promises much for the future. In order that work of this na-ture be divided evenly between the three Normal schools, the state legislature of this year voted that the state be evenly divided for extension purposes. The state Board of Education then so divided it that the district for this school should be the city of Seattle and the countries around the Sound with the ex-ception of King and Pierce counties. Extension classes have been organized in various parts of this section principally at Seattle and at Bellingham. A teacher goes from the Normal School as often as once a week to meet these several classes and gives double periods in actual class work. Courses given in this way are sociology, psychology, child study, principles of education, and practice teaching for teachers. For the practice teaching service credit is giv-en and for the other work the same credit is given that is received for resident work of the same kind. The extension lecture courses are igiven in communities from whom re- quest comes for lectures. These have been given in several parts of several counties, viz, Klickitat, Island, King and Whatcom. These courses are well received in the various communities where they have been given, and the out-look is favorable for another year. Those teachers engaged in giving the lec-tures this year have been Mr. Parish, Mr. Klemme, and Mr. Hoppe. Large numbers of teachers in all parts of the state are engaged in cor-respondence work with the Normal school. A large number of courses are given through the mails by many members of the faculty. These courses are largely duplicate of the regular residence class work, and the same credit is given for the satisfactory completion of them. Bellingham Normal school has been a pioneer in correspondence work, having had large courses in this field up to and including the present time. New courses have been added from time to time as the need arises. The Bellingham Normal is organized with the view of keeping in touch with her students in service. This is done by visiting the communities where they teach. A large portion of this work has been carried on by Mr. Klemme this year. Aside from these four fields of extension the faculty has also stood ready to supply various institute lectures. A great many of the faculty were busy this fall speaking before large bodies of teachers. Members of the faculty have also, on various occasions, delivered com- mencement addresses in the High schools. 108 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 109 ---------- 109 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 110 ---------- Sept. 10--Registration.

P resident Leslie Darwin .......----------------.......-.-.-.-.-.- ---............... Clerk of Board Judge (Jerry) Netherer R. C. Higginson Twenty-five years ago the citizens of Bellingham were anxiously await-ing the decision as to where in the county the new state Normal School was to be located. On Feb. 19, 1893, the newspaper enlightened them with these words: "Now that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and Longtry Point, on Lake Whatcom, are mentioned as desirable locations for a site." However when two companies gave ten acres of land at the pres-ent site all other locations were forgotten. In 1896 the first building was erect-ed at a cost of about $45,000. The school opened its doors to students on Sept. 6, 1899. The faculty thot that if one hundred students attended this would be a flourishing "Institution of Higher Learning." They were made glad the first year by the presence of three hundred and forty-nine seekers after knowl-edge. The first assembly room was rather small, being a part of what is at pres-ent the library, so when commencement time came the exercises were held in the Bellingham Theatre in Old Whatcom. The first office of the president was the room which Mr. Bever now uses as an office. The present offices were used as recitation rooms for the "large" classes. The one large ivy-clad stump upon our beautiful campus acts as a re-minder that in the early days there were twenty-four such gems, set in a squashy, mosquito-inhabited swamp which lay between the knoll and the Normal building. The east end of Sehome Hill was excavated and this swamp filled in. At that time there were not many trees on the hill and those few stragglers which were striving to cling to the steep sides were only four or five feet tall. From a small beginning has grown our present institution. The training school building was added in 1901; Eden's Hall in 1905; science an-nex in 1907; the manual training shop and an additional annex to the training school in 1913. 114 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 115 ---------- Dr. G. W. Nash became the head of the Normal in 1914. Under his di-rection each department has steadily improved until our school has recog-nition throughout the entire United States. It is the purpose of Dr. Nash to keep the school abreast of the times and we have even been told by visitors that we are in advance of many schools of high standard. By his untiring efforts courses are now offered that attract students from all parts of the state and other states as well. The result is seen in the large student body. The unsightly trails and stumps have disappeared from the campus and a beautiful and well kept lawn has developed in which all the students take a pride. This year a newly installed and adequate heating plant has been in-stalled. On account of the war other improvements that Dr. Nash had planned for the benefit of the students, have been indefinitely postponed. 115 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 116 ---------- BOARD OF CONTROL 116 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 117 ---------- DEBATE AND ORATORY At the beginning of the year the prospects for debate and oratorical work - were very bright. A movement was started for forming a school debating team to challenge other schools of equal standing. But owing to the excep-tional conditions of the year that hope was not realized. But the debating spirit was not quenched so easily. A round-table discussion class was organ-ized with Professor Bever as sponsor, for the puprose of developing freedom and ease in the presentation of views and a closer examination and analysis of world movements. The first meeting opened with a heated discussion of the Russian situation. After Mr. Alm had led off, arguments flew thick and fast between Tucker, Webster, Scott and Booman on one side and Holbrook, Johnson, Broadbent and Montag on the other. Finally the decision was reached that material aid might be expected from Russia, but at subsequent meetings the idea was disproved. Questions of parliamentary law and social principles, such as govern-ment ownership and compulsory military training, were warmly contested, making a fair division of the honors in favor of both sides of all questions. At the beginning of the last quarter the tryout for the Junior-Senior ora-torical contest was held. The successful candidates, from a very represent-ative group, were, for the Juniors. Misses Zehla and Farrington and Mr. Kabett, and for the Seniors, Miss Merchant and Messrs. Holbrook and Boom-an. The old scheme of holding a declamatory and extemporaneous contest together with a debate was abandoned and only a debate was recognized. De- clamers and readers would be cared for in the various dramatic courses offered. The tryout was based on the question of military training in high schools. The question decided upon for the final debate was, Resolved, that: Japanese in-tervention in Siberia is beneficial to the Allied cause. After it had been de- cided that the Juniors should represent the negative, considerable enthus- 'iasm was displayed in regard to the statement of the question. After much parleying the above proposition received the stamp of approval of both sides. The arguments in the final debate dealt largely with the moral, economic, mil-itary and political advantages and disadvantages of intervention. The Jun-iors' flashing arguments and brilliant play on technicalities overcame in the final debate the Seniors' maturer experience and depth of thought. The debating season ended with general satisfaction for all 117 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 118 ---------- SOUL OF AMERICA Oh Thou, who stretches forth thy mighty arm Across the troubled angry sea; Who sendest forth thy bravest and thy best, In the name of sweet democracy.

It was necessary for Mr. Hoppe to be gone for two quarters and the club felt his absence keenly. However we were not left without a leader, for Mr. Glenn Hughes, an honorary member of the club, manifested a great in-terest in the club and helped materially in the realization of its plan. There was a scarcity of boys this year, but those among us were true Thespians and added much to the success of dramatics during the year. After the tryouts in the fall, the club began its year's work by giving a royal reception to the new members. At the close of a splendid program and good time, the members were guided to the cafeteria-dining room where most delicious refreshments were served, followed by "speeches" from the new members, which promised much for the club. One of the earliest programs was on Riley, and it was thoroughly en-joyed. Shortly following this was the Hallowe'en party. The club room was attractively decorated and appropriate games were played after a fitting Hallowe'en program. Another evening the club studied Irish Drama. Interesting papers were read and two short plays by Irish dramatists were read and discussed. Before Christmas the expression students of the club gave an evening of pantomime in the auditorium. Keen appreciation of their efforts in that line was shown by the rest of the members. An interesting one-act play entitled "The Teeth of the Gift Horse" was presented at one of the regular meet-ings. Those who took part in the sketch were: Miss Ruth Elander, Miss Ella Lee, Miss Maude Workman, Miss Marion Wheaton, Mr. Raihardt Han-sen, Mr. Arthur Crawshaw. A review of "The Taming of the Shrew" was given at another program, and at the proper time in the review John Miller, Myrtle Pugsley and Emma Zehle presented the dinner scene in that play. The study of "The Children's Educational Theatre" by Alice Minnie Herts, and "How to Produce Children's Plays," by Constance Darcy MacKay, together with the reading of one of Mrs. MacKay's plays, afforded another interesting program. The papers were carefully written and pleasingly read. Mention might be made here of the Thespian Male Quartet, which made its first appearance on that evening. Another profitable program which the members will long remember was in the form of a discussion: "Theatres of Europe as I Saw Them," by Miss Edens, w'ho told in her usual charming way some of the interesting things concerning the great theaters, plays and players of the Old World. It has been the custom of the club to banquet at the Hotel Leopold, but in view of war pressures this elaborate affair was dispensed with, and a simple repast was enjoyed in the cafeteria dining hall. The club this year has been quite philanthropic, for with the ninety dol-lars cleared by the presentation of "Mary Jane's Pa," substantial contribu-tions were made to the Y. M. C. A., Belgian Relief and Red Cross. 120 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 121 ---------- -W T ®r 121 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 122 ---------- SEATTLE CLUB The Seattle Club was organized early in the fall of 1917 as a social club.

Program and games were enjoyed in the little gynasium while the "kids" industriously sucked sticks of candy. Later in the evening animal cookies and candy were enjoyed. Even the baby had a good time. Another party was given in January in the Thespian Club room. March 22 the members of the club went on a hike. A beach party was also enjoyed. All the members feel that the year has been a successful one for the club and hope it will continue and prosper in the coming years. 122 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 123 ---------- COLLEGE CLUB First Semester- President .---------------.......................-.-r.-i.-e.-.-.- -...............

Since the College Club was organized as a social club and its members :are not bound by any constitution or iron clad rules, there is a great oppor-tunity for freedom of action. The big event of the first semester was the famous College Club Vaude-ville, given in the auditorium. The club furnished the idea, while the various other clubs of the school helped turn out a finished "Regular Vaudeville," by ;presenting clever song hits and sketches. The proceeds from this program were divided with the Sisters' League for the benefit of the Red Cross. The second semester the members of the College Club enjoyed themselves -by taking excursions, hikes and beach parties. As the club was organized with a view to wholesome good times, the aim has been successfully accomplished 123 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 124 ---------- 124 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 125 ---------- EDENS' HALL Edens' Hall has no connection with the Garden of Eden, as some have the nerve to ask. It is more like the Garden of Eden with the Adams driven out and the Eves left in. During the present year the girls of Edens' Hall have made life gay in various ways. There have been birthday parties, slumber parties, experience meetings, spreads, chafing dish parties, hikes, jitney rides, kimona parades, vaudeville, aesthetic dancing, light opera, song festivals, dances for females only, room stackings, and othier diversions too numerous and delicate to mention. One does not easily forget the time there was a beau in the beau parlor and the screen drawn in front of a door with Miss Curiosity peeking thru the crack. Other Eves coming thru the hall gently closed the wings of the fire screen, shut Miss Curiosity in, and pushed the screen forward until the inside tripped and fell crashing at the feet of the astonished beau. Oct. 12 the Hall held open house during the hours from seven till ten p. m., in which the rooms were open to inspection and visitors were ushered about and treated to punch and wafers. At this time once a year the boys have the opportunity of seeing what the girls' rooms look like, and of turn-ing their pictures around. Sat., Oct. 27, a Hallowe'en masquerade party for girls only was given, at which we wore hilariaus costumes and danced hilariaus steps. Our only re-gret was that the boys were omitted. Friday morning, Dec. 21, the dining room guests were surprised by the Christmas carol procession in which Miss Woodard and the girls dressed in white, carried candles and sang songs. Two group parties were given during the last quarter. Edens' Hall has self government. Mrs. Ida M. Powell, our house mother, has been at the Hall for years. Miss Eleanor Gray, our preceptress, came to us at Christmas. OFFICERS Fist Semester- President ......................

During the first of a regular meeting, sections meet separately and hold parliamentary drill, debate and discussions. Parent-teachers' organizations are formed, plans for club work are suggested, all of these things proving very helpful to a rural teacher, for it is she who must lead in all these undertakings. The programs are planned with the idea that they could be used in any rural community. One meeting was held in the gymnasium where Miss Nick-erson demonstrated folk dances and games suitable for a rural school. Each quarter a frolic is held in the gymnasium where everyone has the jolliest and best of good times, likewise many good things to eat. Rural Lifers are always willing to work and to share their ideas with each other, so that when they have gone forth into service, they will have many ideas to carry out in their separate communities. Many of our former members are in the service of their country, others are successful teachers and all including those who are yet in school, are loyal and faithful to the club which has given them so much pleasure and help. Then give three cheers for the Rural Life, the biggest, best and busiest club in school. 127 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 128 ---------- Cassie Cales. Ruby Ellington. Esther Klasell.

The club takes its name "Hyades" from a cluster of seven stars in the form of a V, located very near the Constellation of Orion. The mythological story is that the seven sisters were faithful in their ser-vice to one of the gods who would have died but for their care and for this they were given a place in the Heavens. The work of the club has included the study of various peoples, includ-ing the Irish, Swiss, Belgians, Italians and American Negroes. One of the very interesting meetings was held at Squalicum Beach, where after the club had enjoyed a delightful picnic lunch Mrs. J. Roy Williams, who was born and raised in the South, gave us personal pictures of the Negroes in their home environments. There were two other social events during the year. One a "Kid Party," the other an evening spent with Miss Morse and Miss Cales at their apart-ments on Forest street. In the benefit for the Red Cross, in which the College Club invited all other clubs to contribute one number, the Hlvades twinkled out as chorus girls in "45 Minutes From Hyades." In keeping with its ideal of service the club has raised the money for and adopted a war orphan. The money was secured by the Hyades having a fern sale, by selling pop corn balls after a basket ball game, and by each Hyad pledging by her own efforts to raise the sum of one dollar. The club has tried to live up to the ideal of service set for us by the or-iginal Hyades. 12J ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 130 ---------- Ohiyesa Club First Semester- President ................................................................

But Ohiyesa spirit and enthusiasm were there and it was not long until our roll assumed its regular length. Our first social event was a Hallowe'en party in the small gymnasium. Initiation was held at this party. Miss McCown was our chaperon and we surely enjoyed her presence. Just before the holidays we were entertained by Miss Beardsley, Miss Gray and Miss Milne at Miss Beardsley's apartments. This time we remem-bered our two club members who are in the service, Ernest Stowe and Roy Farwell. We are proud of these boys and they have remembered the club with several very interesting letters. We also had a Valentine party. Each member received a hand-made val-entine, such as we used to get. Miss Milne is our new faculty advisor and we considerourselves very fortunate to have her affiliated with us. We owe to her and to Miss Gray a great deal of our success. They have ever been ready with helpful sug-gestions and aid of various kinds. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 132 ---------- Alethian Society First Semester- President ........................ ....................

During the first semester our social evenings were devoted to the study of the lives of great men. Early in the year we decided to Hooverize and consequently our social evenings were not distinguished by the serving of refreshments, as formerly. However we think with pleasure of that de-lightful evening we were entertained at the home of Mr. Brown, when re-freshments were served. The second semester the work of the society was characterized by a general effort for the upbuilding of the society, and through the combined efforts of its members this end has been attained. To Miss Crawford, our sponsor, who has helped us, inspired us and been one of us, we owe our sincerest thanks. We look with sorrow to the time which must of necessity mark the dis-persion of our band; but pleasant will be the memories of happy evenings spent in congenial fellowship, that will linger in our hearts, safe from the power of time.

Sept. 22 The new Philos received little slips telling them that they were to be Philos. Oct. 11 Initiation. Many of the Philos were very uncomfortable the next day, after doing the "Stork Walk." All the new Philos were branded with the Philo sign. Nov. 24 Birthday party. We canned the Kaiser and shook Philo dice. Toasts were given by Marie Johns, Smith Carleton, Lou Green and Jean Al-mond. Our soldier boys were remembered with boxes of birthday cake and scrap-books. Dec. 20 We were all dressed like children at the Christmas program. Each one brought something that he wished very much to get rid of. After the program these gifts were distributed to the children by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. We will never forget the ruffles on Mr. Rausch's collar or Albert Booman in short trousers. Feb. 7. Valentine party. Our hall was beautifully decorated with Kewpies and hearts for our Valentine party. Everyone made a valentine for some-one else and wrote an original love poem on it; these were given out at the Valentine Postoffice. May 9 We enjoyed the week-end party out at the beach. Every two weeks we have regular meetings at which an interesting program is given. Each week the Philos are asked to write a letter to some of our boys who are in the service and tell him what the Philos are doing this year. 135 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 136 ---------- ALI-5IAJ eLUb The Alkisiah Club is celebrating its twelfth anniversary this year and re-viewing its history as one of the successful and as the oldest clubs in the school. The club was organized in 1906. We look with pride at our first pres-ident, Luella Whittaker, who is at present making her Master's degree at Columbia University. The club was organized for literary work on the ideals of the state fed-eration of women's clubs. In 1917 our society joined that federation. This year the cloud of war has affected the interests of the work. Our programs on women and war relief have been followed earnestly. We have studied the stories of the ministrations of Queen Isabella of Spain to the work of the women of today. Parliamentary drill under able supervision of Miss Baker was also an interesting feature of our programs. The school life of the year began with a fudge party for the new mem-bers, continued with initiation a week later and culminated during the Christ-mas season in a delightful evening at the home of Miss Baker. The second initiation was in the form of a valentine party at which new members were received with fitting rites and ceremonies. Soon after this a series of hikes was a feature of the spring activities. Most appreciated of all was the annual outing at the beach on Lummi island at Miss Baker's cottage and at the home of Dorothy Swartz. During the year we have replaced our social life by war relief work, not- ably the banquet usually given by the under-classmen for the Seniors. In this case the funds were donated to the federation of women's clubs to aid in establishing libraries for the boys in the camps. At the annual bulb sale eighty bulbs were sold netting a sum of money for the club and giving experience in bulb culture. This year a delegate was elected to the federation of women's clubs. The report will be received during the summer session. By faithful and harmonious work the club has accomplished its original aim and the interest of the new members gives encouragement for the fu-ture. We all feel that we owe our success to the unfailing inspiration of Miss Baker. 136 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 137 ---------- { i -_ __Y---: h h ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 138 ---------- Sisters' League Our Sisters' League is a patriotic organization of the school, organized for the purpose of helping, in any way possible, brothers who are in the ser-vice of the United States, either as soldiers or sailors. Any one is eligible to membership who has a brother in the service. We work with the Women's League and the Fathers' and Mothers' Clubs in doing anything we can in knitting, writing cheery letters, making little comforts, boxes of cookies and candy for the boys in the hospitals as well as for those in the cam'ps. The girls do individual work for their brothers. There are twenty-five active members in our League and we meet every Friday evening in the sewing room of the Home Economics department. At our first meetings we hemmed dish towels, made joke books, and bed socks. At Christmas time we worked with the Women's League in preparing Christ-mas boxes for the boys in the hospital at Camp Lewis. We also filled a large box with Christmas tree decorations. In the top of each box we placed a copy of the Messenger and some interesting illustrated letters. The Students' Association purchased the material for the service flag and the Sisters' League made and presented it to the school. OFFICERS President ................... .............. .. ...........

The College Club raised money with which to buy yarn and fifty pairs of socks were quickly turned out by the girls. One hundred Christmas boxes were made by the students and sent to the boys in France. These packages contained a Christmas number of the Messenger, handkerchiefs, pencils, stationery, dates, raisins, milk chocolates and a package of playing cards. Many knitted garments have been turned over to the Red Cross and busy fingers of the students and women of the fac-ulty are seen knitting in every social gathering, as well as during the morn-ing assembly. Red Cross and Y. M. C. A., in making their drives found a ready response among teachers and students of our school. Mr. Bond was at the head of the campaign and proved to be a successful manager. Thru our book store the sale of thrift stamps has amounted to more than four hundred and fifty dollars. -A Junior Red Cross was organized in the Training School, and thru the efforts of Miss Cummins and Miss Gray, the membership quickly extended thru all the grades. The children in the sewing classes have made little gar-ments for the war sufferers, while the boys in the Manual Training depart-ment have made puzzles, checker board tables and other articles for the soldiers. Miss Cummins organized a class in surgical dressings and the girls of her department have not a minute to spare, so busy are they in war relief work. 140 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 141 ---------- WAR COOKERY During the third quarter Miss Ormsby conducted a class in war cookery, and Miss Ormsby's class consisted of the entire student body. Demonstra-tions were given at each meeting of the class and much studied, careful, and valuable information was given by the instructor. The work of Miss Ormsby was greatly appreciated by the students, as was shown by the application of the recipes. Nearly every girl has a neatly kept notebook, in which no other work is found except from Miss Ormsby's class. IN THE LIBRARY When the call for books was made, Miss Wilson lost no time in urging the students to respond to the call. Miss Wilson explained the purpose of the books and the kind of books wanted and also kept alive the interest she had begun. Thru her earnest efforts two hundred and fifty books were soon collected and sent to the boys in the service. Miss Wilson turned the gov-ernment books on food, that are sent to the library to be displayed, over to her able assistant, Miss Gladys Stephen. Each week Miss Stephen has a new and attractice display which is most pleasing to the users of the library. Miss Stephen also assisted Miss Wilson in collecing books for the soldiers. At the close of the year, the student body voted to give $500 to the Red Cross. That amount was taken from the students' association fund. The proceeds of the Senior play were also donated to the Red Cross Fund. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 142 ---------- The Business Girls' League The Business Girls' League is an association of young women who en-- gage in some forms of employment in addition to their regular school activ-ities.

The toasts centered around the theme of the ups and downs of business life (with em-phasis on the ups) and set forth the supreme importance of health and hap-piness.

MISS EVA McABEE President of the Y. W. C. A., who pledged $1,700 for the Normal to the Y. M. C. A. Fund for the boys in France, and who was instrumental in raising the sum of $2,500. 145 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 146 ---------- S14 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 147 ---------- THE Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. began its work in earnest, even before the first day of school, by meeting new girls at the trains and boats. Cassie Cales was obliged to resign the presidency and Eva McAbee was .elected to fill this vacancy. On September 21st, the annual Y. W. C. A. reception to the faculty and student body was held. Instead of going to the Hotel Leopold for a banquet this year, the money was given to the Y. M. C. A. Student Friendship Fund. A series of wartime parties, with light refreshments, have been given and were enjoyed much more than elaborate affairs. The Y. W. C. A. track meet was very much enjoyed. The Freshies, Sophs, Juniors and Seniors were all there to take part in the contests. The Freshies carried off all the honors. We will not forget the grand march led by the victorious Freshmen. November 24 the Y. W. C. A. entertained at a guest party and the even-ing was spent sewing for the Red Cross. At the beginning of the second semester a military party was given to the faculty and the student body in honor of the new students. All depart-ments of the service were represented. The most conspicious of the drills was that of the awkward squad. The meetings have not only been interesting, but profitable as well. Visiting speakers were: Miss Blackmoore and Miss Stevens, missionaries from China; Dr. Allen and Mrse. Andrews, who have spent many years in India; Mrs. McAbee, of the Salvation Army, gave us a most beautiful and inspiring Christmas message entitled "The Cradle, the Cross and the Coronation." We were very fortunate in having Mrs. Stark, of St. Louis, with us during the world fellowship week. The tenth annual Bible Institute, which was in February, was a source ,of great spiritual help to all who attended. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, and Mrs. Neth, of Vancouver, were the speakers. The association has had over two hundred students enrolled in Bible Study classes this year, taught by members of the faculty and other well pre-pared leaders. We are expecting to have three hundred enrolled by the end of the year in Mission Study classes. Another practical service is a well conducted Cafeteria of which Char-lotte Claussen is manager. The members of the Y. W. C. A. would be un-willing to give up this phase of their school life. 147 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 148 ---------- CITY Y. W. C. A. We know you would not think this book complete without a few re-marks from the Y. W. C. A. Sisterhood. It is the happiest place, for 'how could it be otherwise with the crowd of Normalites who stay there? You may not know them all personally so I will introduce them to you. First of all comes the war brides. Marion Schofield has taken the name of Johnson. Myrtle Shull and Jack Horrigan were the first couple to be mar-ried at the Y. W. C. A. We were all invited. Good luck, girls, on the sea of matrimony. Our artists are Alice and Jean Belch. Major Jean trips the light fan-tastic up and down the halls with Grandma (Gladys Hamley '19) at her heels. We also have an artist in the dramatic world- Myrtle Pugsley. She is authority on all movie actors. Irene Ramsey, no other than the treasurer of the Senior Class, is not only a diver for money, but if one chanced to take a peep into our swimming tank, you would see her diving and swimming like a fish. Certainly you have heard of our rare type of walking pin cushions, Isla Nash. From morn 'till night you can hear, "Isla, oh Isla." In cell 301 lives Gail Price and Mary Tomlinson, otherwise known as "Susie" and Willie," the champion pugilists. Just down the hall lives the beautiful society belle, Pauline Shuler, who is always trying to keep peace on the third floor. She is also noted as the early riser, for at 6:45 you will hear her gentle tap at the door and "Time to get up, girls." We are sorry that Alice Belch and Alethia and Marjorie Weeks left us at mid-year. We wish them success in the teaching profession. We feel quite honored to have Clara Melcher, the first salaried cadet in Bellingham, as one of us. We have as custodian of our "zoo," Lelia McCoy, who with jealous care guards our gold fish. The commissary department is in room 307. Here, Florence Blethen and Marie Goering generously gave us the proteins and carbohydrates which they receive in their boxes from home. Ruth Panchot (Waffles) lives with Katie Lopp. One would almost think they were attending college, but actions speak louder than decorations (words). Mary Kirchoff and Marie Broulette came to live in our happy home for the second semester. 148 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 149 ---------- , 41 -mi -I : 149) ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 150 ---------- PRAYER By Glenn Hughes The wild rose blooms but for a day Along the road in June, And as at night I pass that way Beneath the silent moon, I lift the fallen petals up Tenderly, one by one, And in my hands they form a cup That one time held the sun. The night's soft tears are on them yet, The dawn still haunts their cheeks; And my own face is sweetly wet With fragrance that it seeks. High up, with white arms in the light, I lift them to the moon- A perfect prayer this summer night, Along the road in June! 150 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 151 ---------- ONE BATTLE: Mrs. Stewart was knitting, seated in the bay window of her little sitting room. Her sweet face with its sunken eyes had a musing look, and her wasted throat moved slightly as she worked, as if in time to the rhythmic weaving and clicking of a thousand other needles in the hands of a thousand mothers. She turned at the sound of a striking clock. "Now he's through drill," she thought, "and I'd better be getting sup-per." Since Bob Stewart bad been at Camp Grant his mother had followed as closely as possible the schedule of his meals. She liked to think that the row of hungry boys, with Bob in the midst, were eating at the same time she had her dainty tea. Once she said with an exalted face, "I'll not eat anything that he can't have. Sometimes I think I'll sleep on the ground if he has to." Prosaic Mrs. Jensen, to whom she spoke had turned uncomfortably from her fervor. "Well I guess the boys are pretty comfortable now," she had said sens-ibly. The widowed Mrs. Stewart and her only son had been more to each other than the bustling Mrs. Jensen with her four stolid children and stolider hus-band could imagine. It had been remarkable that Bob Stewart had included his delicate little mother in so much of his life and thought without acquir-ing the stigma of sissyism. It was a tribute to his brezzy, hearty boyishness that no such suggestion was felt, for though Bob had many friends, he had no intimate but his mother. Their bond had been one of complete confidence -a blending of the spirit. The bars of dumb reticence which separate most growing boys from their practical parents, had never been raised between them. Mrs. Stewart was thinking of this as she wandered into his bedroom after tea. What was he doing in this quiet twilight hour? He used to dress at this time after his work at the garage, calling gay bits of information and questions to her as he dashed between bedroom and bath. Tonight she imagined whimsically as she glanced 'round the faint out-lines of the bare room, he seemed more than ever to be with her. She started lovingly arranging the clothes hanging in the closet. "He never had any use of this jersey," she mused, "it seems a shame he can't wear it when its whole and warm." She patted it into shape, for the hundredth time thinking of the pathetic limpness of these clothes without their vivid wearer. Next she glanced at the evening clothes in their shroud-like bag. What heart burnings and self denials the sleek black things had meant! After the years Bob had braved formal dances without them, and the super human boy-ish efforts to save the required money, he had worn them but once. She stroked them tenderly as she stood dreaming of that night. He had been so splendid with his handsome sunburned face and his muscular shoulders. The picture of the gallant young figure in uniform followed. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 152 ---------- I needn't be afraid he won't succeed, she thot now. "He IS a regular fighting Stewvart, and he DOES look just like his grandfather." She sighed as she made this great concession. When she had first mar-ried she had resented the tradition of the "fighting Stewarts." The picture of her husband's father, a dashing mustachioed veteran of the Civil War, had overpowered her little room, and her husband's innumerable stories of his bravery and recklessness had touched a sore point. Her own father in the clutches of poverty of the unsuccessful pioneer, had not left his sick wife and four babies in their desperate helplessness. She liked to think he had been actuated by a certain courage and she longed to retaliate to her husband's claims that Bob in all his brave youth resembled "Wild Dan Stewart." Now she thought with satisfaction that Bob was a happy-go-lucky act-first-think-afterward Stewart, and that she monopolized the Wilcox brand of introspec-tion. The mysterious feeling of Bob's presence drew her restlessly from the little room to the porch of the cottage. She stood for a moment looking at the lights of the town and at the shimmering streak of moonlit marsh beyond. A hurrying figure turning in at the gate gave her a sharp reminder of her boy's innumerable homecomings. She started forward with a sufficating heart beat-but it was only Willie Jensen from the telegraph office. With shaking fingers she tore open the yellow envelope and read the curt announcement that Bob's orders for France had come. And then-his marriage. When Weston received thru the papers the news of Bob Stewart's mar-riage, the town was shaken by conjecture and curiosity. Mrs. Jensen was authority for the fact that "Mrs. Stewart hadn't heard a breath of it yesterday at six o'clock. I declare I hate to see her," she con-tinued pityingly. Of course Bob had a right to marry even if she did scrimp and borrow to send him through school. But they were so awfully close to each other-someway I can't think of them apart. He'd start calling 'Moth-er' the minute he got in the door just like a little child, and the plans he made to fix up her house and take her to California-. I often told Joe there was one woman who was going to have solid comfort with her child." To the less sensitive and more curious friends who did not hesitate to call, the little widow was inscrutable. She went about the house as usual, painstakingly arranging familiar or-naments. She had no tears, just a swelling wave of misery, and her mumb brain refused to consider the details of preparation. The telegram had stated that they would arrive on Bob's brief leave before sailing. Suddenly she stopped her dusting and faced the picture of "Wild Dan Stewart." It seemed to her grieving nerves that his leering eyes followed her about the room. "It's just the brutal thing you brave Stewats have always done," she said with white intensity. "My boy-never to tell me-and he comes with that intruding girl to say goodbye to me. It won't be my son leaving as much as it will be that silly young thing's husband." 152 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 153 ---------- She thought with sharp distaste of the unknown girl. The girl Bob had never seen two months before. She couldn't know anything about him. How little things made him suffer while he covered his sensitiveness in a careless laughing way. That girl would share in sending his boxes and see the diary that was to have been sacred to just two. Mrs. Stewart sat down in her accustomed place, where the cold light of a sunless day fell on her silent brooding figure. "Why didn't he tell me?" went thru her mind in a sick refrain. In her dull suffering she stared with unsee-ing eyes at the grey room, but as if in answer to her questions she was seeing once more a flood of summer sunshine. A chubby sunburned youngster with tears washing dirty furrows down his cheeks, was pulling a lumbering puppy down the walk. "That was the first time he ever asked me for a pet," she thought with a set face. "I said I wasn't strong enough to care for a puppy, but even then I didn't want anything else between us, and he understood in some clairvoyant childish way. My heart used to ache when he wanted things I couldn't give him, and I thought I was self sacrificing, but I never let him have a chum. Now he's taken what he wanted most-and because I didn't give it to him-isn't that the bitterest thing?" She sat for a long time, wrapped in a reverie of sick questionings. Realization came with cold accusations against that tender care which cringed with fear that some one else could contribute the best things to her son. Why did she shrink from sharing the last minutes-the poignant pain of the last straining look which is transmuted to joy by the splendor of its sac- rifice. After all this was the real farewell with its aching hunger and sense of irreparable loss. She would stay in this little room where he had been en-tirely hers and let their flaming lovers' farewell take the place of her last blessing. From the exaltation of this mood she roused to the immediate effort to be made. It would be hardest of all to achieve a cheerful unclouded welcome to the young wife. Sensitive Bob would be nervously apprehensive and the beauty of their last days depended on her. Finally she drew herself up, on her face a great serenity. Her beautiful worn eyes met the opaque one's of the warrior in the portrait, as she turned toward his unresponsive face. "I was ever a fighter, so-one fight more," she quoted. -Catherine Fifield. 153 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 154 ---------- The Gift of the Rose Master I The Rose Master was a famous scientist who had specialized in flower culture and now devoted himself exclusively to roses. It was not known whether his culture was for the purpose of developing a high degree of art or merely sheer beauty. His roses possessed both qualities in a high degree. The ignorant people of the country around said he was mad and named him the "Rose Master." His gardens extended about a ruined palace in a sunny climate. He him-self lived in an apartment of the palace and his door opened onto the rose garden. Early in the morning and after sundown he was busy digging, spad-ing, watering, pruning. During the day when the sun beat hot on the sands outside the palace, deep in a cool, dark vault of the place he was mixing chem-icals, pouring over musty books or dreaming on an old couch. Some of the good people said he was a wizzard and that in his dreams he talked with the Devil, bargaining for human souls to put into his roses. The selected roses grew in an old garden surrounded by a high stone wall which guarded the courtyard of the palace. The wall was crumbling, clink-ed with moss and crept over by vines. Owls hooted among the stones in the moonlight. The roses themselves exotic in their profusion, breathed out a heavy and intoxicating fragrance. One evening when the Rose Master was sitting on his threshold drink-ing in the beauty of his garden, a gentle breeze stirred the leaves, and he heard his favorite tree breathe a deep sigh. He regarded it with attention. It was the most responsive of all his creations. The thick velvet softness of its blooms resembled human flesh in texture and in color, white veined with pink deepening in the center. A single bloom more perfect than the rest, topped the bush. In its stillness and its perfume, it seemed a little human heart up-lifted. "What is the matter with her sister?" said a voice. "She is in love," said one with a ripple of laughter. "Well, that is nothing," said a third, "we are all in love. Jack is in love-with a bat, Ivory loves a big, gray moth, and I am in love with the moon.'" "But Beauty-" "Sh-h!! !" An ominous rustle passed thru the garden. 154 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 155 ---------- Beauty is in love with the Rose Master, sang out a spiteful voice. Silence fell, deep and deadening. An overpowering perfume thickened the air. For a long time the Rose Master heard his pulse tick in the stillness. The moon was high, the light streaming down with an eerie radiance, when a tiny owl hooted and a white mist began to creep along the ground. "He will never go," said a low voice. "Let us dance before him," said another. "Come, let's," they all murmured. The mist rose higher, creeping, spreading, thickening, until it filled the garden. The plants were no longer visible. The air was full of something indefinite, alive, moving. The mist began to individualize into many columns. The air grew clearer. The columns formed themselves into human shapes, nymphs or fairies, fantastic and beautiful. They danced and marched as gracefully as the Northern Lights, whirling, racing, receding, leaping, bend-ing, bowing. As the moon sank lower and the shadows fell slantwise across the fol-iage the fairies formed a semi circle. Into their front stepped Beauty, the queenliest of them all. Bowing low, she saluted the Rose Master. A low, weird music played by the wind, swept up from the earth and the dance motif began. The ballet was in action. The movements of Beauty were as inde-scribably beautiful as the rush of sea waves, the flight of birds or the leaping of fire flames. When she had finished, the music died out with a low wail and murmur. The moon was low, the shadows long, and the ballet receding in-to mist. "Come! come, sister!" cried many little voices. But Beauty stepped into a circle of light and knelt before the Rose Master. "What do you want, little sister?" he asked. "A soul like your own," she replied. "Why ?" "Because when I look at you there is always something I cannot under-stand. You are not like the sun nor the flowers nor the birds. You have something we have not. It is torturing me that I can never understand. Make me human like yourself." "You can never again be the tranquil and joyous flower," he replied. "I do not care." When the sun rose in the morning, a messenger in search of the Rose Master found him seated on his threshold. Crushed in his hands were the petals of a rose, flesh like in texture and color, white veined with pink. He was dead. Some of the old gossips whispered that he had sat up to see the fairies dance, and no man can see the fairies dance and live. Others said he had gone home to his master, the Devil. 155 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 156 ---------- An American millionaire bought the old palace to please his daughter Rosalind, whom he loved more than anything else in the world. Part of the palace was fitted up to live in, and the family moved in for a season. Rosalind spent her time wandering about the old gardens and halls. Once, in a dark vault, she found some books musty and yellow with age. After that she spent most of her time in the rose garden. The gardener was-given special directions for the care of the roses, and Rosalind herself watered and cut the blooms. There was one bush which had not blossomed since the days of the Rose Master, which opened its buds for her. The flowers were lovelier than any of the others, flesh like in texture and color, white, veined with pink deepening the center. When the fiance, Herman, saw the old palace, he was delighted. On hear-ing the legend of the Rose Master, he said to Rosalind: "It seems as if I were once that Rose Master and you were the rose." The wedding day was a holiday for the whole countryside. There was a magnificent banquet, music, flowers, wine, dancing, everything. In the midst of the revelry, Herman and Rosalind stepped into the cool night of the rose garden. The air was heavy with the scent of the roses. It was very still except for the scraping of insects. The sounds of music and dancing came to them as from a far away world. The one rose which was lovelier than the rest beckoned to them. As Herman reached to pluck it, Rosalind seized his, hand and prevented him. Her face was pale. "What is the matter, Rosalind? You are sad." It is nothing." "Why are you sad ?" "I do not know. I seem to be afraid." "Afraid of what ?" "Nothing, only I wish-" "What do you wish?" "I wish to God I could give my soul back, and be again that flower, tran-- quil and joyous." -Miriam Dolman.. 156 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 157 ---------- Sartling I First prize poem _A sluggish brown stream oozes o'er the sodden Flemish plain. They're marching! Hear the throb of tramping feet- Dogged feet that lurch through cold black pools, and stumble on again - .Hunched shoulders shrinking from the icy sleet. He started out high-hearted in the acrid foggy morn, He shouldered eighty pounds with buoyancy. Now each step's an intolerable torture to be borne. With drifting thoughts he counts steps rhythmically. 'Transported from that slime and mud to slopes of cool green lawn, To tingling swims and lounging on the shore, Wild speeding through warm scented nights-dancing to rose staked dawn- And questioning-was life to mean no more? And when as if in answer that deep clanging challenge came. 'The high adventure youth was longing for, If boys confused their duty with a longing for the game- 'Their singing blood delights the gods of war. He marched at first exulting; but heartsick pity then -Stifled the hate of ineffectual sings. In sanctuary of his heart, thoughts of bright martyred men Are sealed, while lips dwell on the trivial things. 'Vhat is the meaning of it now? boy with the haunted eyes. "Calm eyes that gaze past horrors at a goal, Exalted- inarticulate-the supreme sacrifice Your spirit freed-that white flame we call Soul. -Catherine Fifield. 157 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 158 ---------- THE OWL -Second Prize Poem- In slow and measured flight, His dark wing cleaves the sombre night. Drifting by the naked trees, Moaning low in minor keys; Or perches he perchance Upon some deadened branch, From where with fixed stare Surveys the earth and air, Gloomy, silent, taciturn, Wildwood comrades doth he spurn. Loves he neither day nor night, Pale, uncertain, transient light, Twilight shadows doth he love; Misty light below, above, Like a fog, so indistinct Where earth and sky are interlinked. Still the branches moan and croon, As doth rise the fire-orbed moon, Peeping from behind a cloud, Fugative that nightly shroud. Hides again the moon from sight, Outlines all blend into night. The old owl tells the hours in flight, His vigil keeps till morning light. -Jack Lansen. DAY'S DONE - Honorable Mention- The pink-flecked clouds Scurry across the sky, A flock of pearl-white seagulls flutter by. The blood-red sun Dips into the west, As I hear the rippling waves Lulled to rest. The dying sunbeams Flare and are gone, And the deep grows dark, Day's done. -Cassie Cales. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 159 ---------- The Prize Essay C. R. HOLBROOK TIlE RF(O)R(GANIZATION ()F THI \WV fRLI) ()N A DEMI1()CRATIC t/ ASIS FOR PEiACEFUI. II) EVEI ()l'MI ENT The need for such reconstruction is too) apparent for discussion; the only question in the minds of thoughtful people of today is how this may be ac- complished. It is not the purpose of this article to convince the reader that this is the best or only feasible plan but being different in many fundanlental points from others it may suggest new possibilities. The sole aim of this essay is to awaken a deeper interest in the world prolens of to-day and tio-morrow; to stimulate an independence and breadth of thought in the citizens of the world which is essential to successful democracy; and which may re-sult in the formation, the adoption, and the ratification of a much better plan, whereby the nations of the world may live in harmony, and the people learn cooperation instead of competitive destruction: The people of the world are fast losing confidence in their self-appointed leaders and present system of government, which have developed the national spirit to such a destructive stage as to convince the various groups of peoples that their neighbo)rs are at all times plotting their destruction. Consequently it has become a question of destroy, or be destroyed. Some (lay when )peopl)le awake to the realization of the folly of it all, and turn from their deceptive o)ppressors, what then shall we, as champions of democracy, have to offer? First, as a basis for consideration, a few fundamental p)riincil)les, which embody many of the causes and suggest some of the remedies for the present state of affairs, should be set forth. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 160 ---------- All government should be for the largest number of its subjects, not for the protection of wealth or for the undue promotion of the governing class. The state is for the people, not the people for the state; therefore, the peopi possess the sacred right of revolution, or the right to choose what government and what kind of government they will have. In any geographical unit con-tiguous to another nation, where a majority of the people of this unit desire to become subjects of the other nation, wishing to sever the ties which have bound them to their own, they should be allowed to do so. The fact that a nation has been first to discover, explore, and subdue certain sparsely settled, unorganized, undeveloped, and uncivilized parts of the world-later known as colonies-does not give that nation eternal title to them. Neither is any nation, who because of a better organized navy and army is or has been able to take forcibly such territories from other nations, justified in such action nor has it any better title. These territories should belong first to the native peoples, and the world at large should have second claim. A highly organized nation that it growing so rapidly in numbers as to be cramped for room, should have the right-in the present age as well as in the past-to expand so long as there are large undeveloped or nearly uninhabited areas. Other nations should join in peaceable arrangements for such expan-sion. No nation has the right to hold large territories that it is not using, nor will be able to use soon, when some nearby nation has not enough room for its people. To illustrate: Russia has no right to all of Siberia, of which she has little use, while Japan is crowded and needs more room for her overflow of population. International control and ownership of all strategic waterways neces-sary for the commerce of the world is not only desirable but indispensable for world peace. Neutralization of all the seas, in peace and war, would ben- efit all, and is only fair and just to neutrals. Universal suffrage, except in the case of illiterates, should be a principle of democracy. A democratic state should have no moral right to declare war, except in case of invasion, without referendum to its people. Nationalization of manufacture of necessary armament would abolish the desire for war on the part of a large class of capitalists. All owners and publishes of papers and magazines should be citizens of that country in which their publications are issued, and should own no property nor have interest in any foreign state. And finally but without doubt the most important individual right, every man should have the privilege to worship God or not, just as he sees fit, without intereference from anyone. Religion is a personal duty toward God and is no affair of the state; consequently, religious freedom and a com-plete separation of church and state are most important principles. 160 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 161 ---------- Assuming the foregoing principles to be recognized by all as essential for peaceful developments, a plan whereby this may be accomplished is in order. Let us divide the world into three great geographical and partly racial divisions or units, with the several states of each unit federated for certain definite purposes of government. The central unit would include all of Europe, Africa, and that part of Asia west of a line drawn from the Arabian Sea in the south, along the west-ern boundaries of India, China, and Mongolia, continuing northeast through Siberia to the Arctic Ocean to a point near the mouth of the Lens River. Th'ls divides Siberia racially also, as the part to the east of this line has many more Mongolian people than Russia. Let us call this great central unit tEurafrasia, and the union we wish to form among the nations of this unit, The Federated States of Eurafrasia. The eastern unit would include the remainder of Asia east of the lpreviou-\ ly drawn line, as well as the adjacent islands, taking in the oriental peoples of the Mongolian and Malay races. Geographically, Australia would be in this unit, but since a large majority of the inhabitants are Caucasiaiis of tlh English type and are somewhat isolated, they would, no doubt, p)refer to be placed in the central unit, or Eurafrasia. I et us call the eastern unit lMon-golasia. The western unit would include the two continents of America with their adjacent islands. America would be the most apl)ropriate name for this west-ern unit. Such a federation as we wish to form in each of these great units is prob-ably most needed in Eurafrasia, the central unit; nevertheless, tho very dif-ficult, the results will iustify the effort. If fully explained it will be seen that such a plan would work equally as well in the western and eastern federations which would be similar but less complex. \What kind of a federated government will be best for the natis ns of Eurafrasia? How much power shall be vested in it? How much shall be re-served for the separate nations? These are difficult questions, but when the nations are once agreed on these, the rest is comparatively easy. An empire or a kingdom would be unsatisfactory for many reasons; for instance, there would be too many contenders for the crown \iwhich would mean the continu-ation of strife and bloodshed for kaisers and kings. A form of democracy will then be the only safe government for such a federation. It is well known from experiences of our critical period that a government which can reco-mend, but has no power to enforce, is a failure. Consequently, what ever duties are placed upon the federal government, it must have power to perform. All will agree that each of the states should retain the right to have the kind of government that seems best suited to the needs of its people. Each state should have power to regulate its own affairs within its boundaries, so long as it does not endanger the rights of another. The federal government should have power to settle disputes between the states; to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, tariffs, and postal or telegraph service; to control all canals and strategic waterways necessary to interstate commerce, as well as the man-ufacture and use of all armament. It should guarantee to all religious liberty, and to every non- illiterate the right of suffrage. 161 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 162 ---------- For the purpose of government, Eurafrasia will be divided into states and territories. These states will be known as Advanced States-those highly developed, whose populations are less than fifty per cent illiterate, such as England; and Retarded States-those less highly developed whose popula-tions are more than fifty, but less than seventy-five per cent illiterate, such as Russia. Sections sparcely settled and undeveloped whose inhabitants are more than seventy-five per cent illiterate will be called Federal Territories Illiterate is defined as meaning the inability of all persons over ten years of age to read and write. As to government, there shall be three departments-the legislative, ex-ecutive, and judicial. The legislative shall consist of an upper house, or sen-ate, and a lower house of representatives. As to representation in the senate, the states shall be classified according to population. States having a popu- lation of twenty-five millions or over, shall be in the first class and entitled to five senators, which shall be appointed by the state government in any way it sees fit and would serve until recalled. This class will include the great powers of Europe. States having a population of less than twenty-five mil-lion or over shall be in the second class, and entitled to three senators. All states having a population of less than ten million shall be in the third class and entitled to two senators. Each state shall send one representative to the lower house for every million of non-illiterate population, which shall be elect-ed by the people for a term of ten years. It will be interesting to note the personel of this congress. England, Germany, France, Italy, Austra-Hungary, Russia and perhaps Ukrania will each send five senators. Spain will send three, but Turkey even tho having twenty million, may not be entitled to any, as it is doubtful if she can be classed as a retarted state, so many of her people being illiterate. Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia, Greece, Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, and Australia will each be entitled to two senators. This will make in all about seventy-five senators. In our lower house, representation being based on non-illiterate population, there will be about forty English, four Irish. thirty-four French, eight Spanish, two Portu-geese, Twenty-two Italian, twenty-three Austrian, fourteen Hungarian, three Swiss, sixty-five German, six Belgian, six Dutch. two Danish, two Norwegan, five Sweedish, two Finnish, fifty Russian, ten Ukranian, eight Polish, three Roumanian, three Bulgarian, two Servian, and two Grecian representatives, making in all about three hundred fifty. 162 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 163 ---------- This senate and house of representatives, or congress, shall convene once each year, remaining in session not more than sixty days. The first difficulty when congress convenes will be the matter of the language to be used in con-gress. On thinking of the many nationalities present it seems quite an ob- stacle, but in reality most of the educated people of Europe speak several of the more important languages; at any rate the ballot should be the judge in all such cases, and once a language is adopted it should be a matter of study for the representatives. The lower house shall elect a premier or president, who shall form a re-sponsible ministry to carry out the executive functions of the government, but who may be recalled at any time congress is in session. The senate shall appoint or elect fifteen noted judges-not more than two from any one na-tion- who shall form the judicial department or federal court, to which all appeals shall be made. This court shall interpret the laws, decide the juris-diction of appealed questions, and try all cases charged with breaking fed- ,eral laws. In case the offender is a state the court shall present its verdict to the assembled congress for approval. Congress shall have power to impose taxes on the states and territories ,directly proportional to population. Upon organization of the federal gov-ernment, the various states shall surrender all naval units, except any which congress shall prescribe as necessary for police duty within each state's own territorial waters and ports, to federal government to be used for policing high seas and strategic waterways included under jurisdiction of unit. Each state shall be given credit on its share of support of the federal government for the value of its navy given over to federal government. Each state shall furnish to federal government its quota of men, based on population. to form a federal army for purposes of policeing boundaries, enforcing laws, and gov-erning territories. No state shall be allowed to maintain a military force larger than is necessary for police duty within its own boundaries. This should be a certain per cent of population decided upon by congress, probably not more than one to one thousand. Congress shall have the right to spec-ify the form of government for the special states classified as Retarded States. Other important duties and powers of congress shall be the regulation and government of federal territories which are Africa and Southwest Asia. Congress shall maintain order, establish schools, keep open to non-illiterate immigration, regulate trade, and develop and govern these territories with the idea of protecting and promoting the welafre of the native people and home seekers, that they may ultimately become states. One very important question is that of where our federal government shall be established. As Constantinople is the geographical and logical center of Eurafrasia, it should. without doubt, be the capital. Its strategiv import-ance demands that it be held and controlled by an international government. rather than of the vacillating but vicious Turk. 163 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 164 ---------- One of the most desirable results of this reorganization will be a \Vorill Council, which shall be formed by the three great world units selecting fromii their congresses forty-five members. Each congress shall elect ten of its representatives and five of its senators to meet at Constantinople. once every two years, to consider world problems, and to formulate treaties and plans to report to their respective congresses. The special function of this World Council shall be to act as a final court of appeal to decide matters hopelessly dividing any one of the federations or units. ()ther very impmortant duties shall be to reach an agreement or maNxi-mum armamenits, universal weights and measures, money standards, and a universal conmmercial language: to establish rules for traffic on the high seas, and zones of jurisdiction for each unit to p)olice. After the countries of the world have been more closely bound together by railways and lines of communication, and the peop)le of the states ha \ve learned by a few centuries of experience the value of cooperation in groups. it is to be expected that the federal idea will devlop until all of the nations () the world are united in one great federal union. Shall this war be settled in the old way, by one group of people being reduced to submission to another group, or shall the people of the world be offered a real democratic peace? 164 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 165 ---------- r: '. .; ~,: ;-;- ':t: I'. ~.:'.. : ..~r:..- ::'~4~ ~~i~i~ ::: ::::~~i~~:::~:~~~~:: :::iiz~ - 1~:~:: '::S::~:: r : : :' .....- ...,:-.. ,..., ~.~~ :1 j ~:::::it i.~:~r:i ''~' ::::.::.\ m*. :~' ~:-:i :~~~::: !T::. .lx-!: 'I ~ : ::~~ ~i9- : ::1 :: : :: :;-:. r . . : .:: : .:ZC; : jL:J~t I::I : :' :,;:: : ' -i ... ., :~,, . -.: .:.,i .. :I :~:: :. i:::'::i. r:v::;~~I : I::- : ."jr '"' : .::::'' ;; ;D~ :. t: ::~1 ~:. ~~ ::a i ::~ ;:: -r. :~':i:;.t :s .::. t :u:r ;-. ....;. .:.:-: ;~~::~; ~I:~~.;: 'f;i:: - - :~:: ::.::sl~ :: "'": 'C~- : ~' ~:::_-~ :1:: ~: i: w : .i~. . ..-. ~~-,.~ .-ix-i~ i_ i' i_;5r -ir. l~.- ) ' :~:-:1.~: i , : .. ~F:- . ~i~. ::: :1f: .il~r~l::- -:~ '~: :: ...: ; r -' :c: '.:t' l'it", ~ i ~' ~ i-~: :~jy .II-; ;- 1i : l :,,. .~~i::l:::::: I::i:l';i~rlj L::? :: :: ;t ... -...,. :;~ ,,..: .,..,..:i..

In the production the Thespians pre-served their splendid reputation and gave the audience a theme for future conservation. Tho we might think from the title that "Mary Jane's Pa" is a childish comedy, in reality it is a lively dramatic reproduction of the American small town. Mr. Glenn Hughes excelled in the interpretation of Hiram Perkins, the capricious, whimsical, cultured tramp, who walks in unannounced after an absence of eleven years, to find his children older and his wife "mellower" than when he last saw them. Portia Perkins, played by Bernice Ober, was an efficient editor of the local "Clarion." Her role as the mother of Lucile and Mary Jane was splen-didly taken and she surprised both the audience and herself in offering Hi-ram "board and room with Thursday afternoons off, and twelve dollars a month" for his services as general housemaid and cook. The Perkins daughters were charming. Lucile (Nina Lusk) was worthy of Barrett Sheridan (Gaines Beasley) the qouthful actor in love with her. Mary Jane (Ella Lee), a winsome little maid of eleven years won the hearts of all. Rome Preston, an honest man, was played with strength by Rainhardt Hanson. His rival, Joel Skinner, as played by John Miller, was a most wily and dishonest old politician. Humor was frequently supplied by Ivy Wilcox (Helen Upper) the vil-lage belle, Miss Faxon (Hazel Hunasberger) the milliner, Star Skinner (Chester Garden) the village "catch," and Lewellyn Green (Montford Al-sop) the printer's devil. One look at Claude Whitcomb "goin' down to meet the 2:45," or at Line Watkins sweltering in his fur coat, would suffice.

"Qualtiy Street" was chosen by the Junior Class for their play this year- This play was made famous by Maude Adams. It is a quaint English comedy, the scenes being laid in a small English town of the Victorian period. Valentine is very attentive to Phoebe who lives with her older sister, Miss Susan. But war comes and Valentine enlists. During his seven years' ab-sence Phoebe and Miss Susan loose most of their fortune so they both become-school teachers. Valentine, upon his return, is not as interested in Phoebe, the spinsterly school mistress, as he was in the curly headed campfire girl whom he had left. Phoebe, despairing, goes to a ball disguised as her own neice. Valentine's interest is again aroused and they "live happily ever after-ward." "Quality Street" was given April 27, under the efficient direction of Miss. Summer. The play was an artistic success from beginning until the end. The stage settings were worked out with a finish seldom seen in professional per- formances, and the costumes were not only true to the historic period, but blended with the stage setting in striking harmony. The acting of the entire-cast passed the standard of amateurs. The school feels the deepest gratitude to Miss Summer and the Junior Class for the pleasure of such a perfect artistic performance. 118 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 169 ---------- THESPIAN PLAYS The Thespians entertained their friends in the auditorium March 22. The first number on their program was a piano solo by John Miller. Fol-lowing this a one-act play. "Showing up Mabel," was presented. The play was written an(d directed by 7Mr. Glenn Hughes. MIabel (Anne Bennett) is a western girl who is brought to the home of M rs. Landers, (Bernice ()ber) and her daughter Helen (Marion \\heaton) by her friend, Jimmie Blake (John Miller). Mrs. ILanders, with the help of her daughter and Harold Ilinr ham (Chester Garden) endeavors to "show up" Mabel as being an entirely unsuitable person and lacking in culture. But at a crucial moment the maid (Petty Lee) enters and annotunces a telephl1ne call for the famous actress, Florence Burnham. Mabel explains that she is Miss Burnham and has come to the Landers' home with Jimmie Blake, her fi-ance, who is a playwright, in order to gather proper atmosphere for a play which he is writing for her. The parts were all splendidly taken and the play was a decided success. "The Mad Tea Partyv." from "Alice in Wonderland," dramatized by Mr. Glenn Hughes, was then given. Betty Lee made a charming Alice, while Mr. Hughes as the Mad Hatter, and Chester Garden as the March Hare were as mad as one could desire. John Miller yawned and stretched his way thru the part of the Door Mouse in a very realistic way. Miss Kathleen Skally gave a beautiful solo dance between the plays. "Milly Dilly," another one-act play by Mr. Hughes, featured Myrtle Pugsley as Milly Dilly, a girl of the mountains. Ned Holbrook (Mr. Hughes), a lawyer from San Francisco, finds that there is no mud and smoke in the mountains, while Millydilly discovers, because there is no smoke to cloud her vision, that Mary Holbrook (Maie Armstrong) has a soul and that she loves her husband. The plays were all ?iven well and the Thespian Dramatic Club proved to be an organization of which the school may well be proud. 169 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 170 ---------- The Lion and The Mouse CAST Shirley .. ........................ .......M.y.r.t.le. .P.u.g.s.le.y.......

Shirley, the daughter of the ex- judge, succeeds in obtaining the position of secretary to Mr. Ryder under an assumed name, in hopes of obtaining a certain paper which will prove her father's innocence. The plot is further complicated by the son, Jefferson Ryder, who falls in love with Shirley. The prolems are finally all solved, the complications straightened out and the play ends hap-pily. The play was staged under the direction of Mr. Hopl)pe and in spite of the busy time of commencement days, the house was filled and the play much enjoyed. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 172 ---------- C.

The work of 1917- 18 has both enlarged and intensified over that of last year. Everett, as well as Bellingham, has welcomed into its city system a number of student teach-ers, which has necessitated the residence in Everett of one of the Normal critic teachers, Miss Drake; while war conditions, with the desire to contribute to the work of the Red Cross, has been keenly felt in the adjustments to the course of study. In the kindergarten and primary grades Misses Graves and Mobrav have followed the ideas of allowing the pupils to solve their own problems, their cultivating self-control, independence and helpfulness. These pupils have identified themselves with the Junior Red Cross, and have invested their sur-plus pennies in Thrift Stamps. The more advanced classes have knitted-scarfs for their dolls, to be sure, at first, but later expect to knit socks for soldiers. War gardens have also been planned. 180 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 181 ---------- Miss Willoughby, the critic teacher of the third and fourth grades, has d lt;lone much inspirational work with the students in raising money for the Red Cross. In the Nature Study classes the children planted hyacinth bulbs and ,cultivated war gardens, and realized from these enterprises considerable mon-ey for war charities. Time has been devoted in making slips for pillows, gun wipers and trinket bags. In the fifth and sixth grades art and dramatization have been stressed this year under the guidance of Miss Gray. All students are enrolled as members .of the Junior Red Cross. ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 182 ---------- Miss Cummins, of the seventh and eighth grades, has displayed great versatility in her class tvork in the raising of money for war purposes. During the latter part of February the girls made a great amount of marmalade in their l)omestic Science classes, then later sold it at a considerable profit. tBoys and girls knit, make ambulance pillows and bags. Active practice in basket ball has been enjoyed and splendid sportsmanship displayed in contests. The Junior library was this year moved into the Training department. It comprises 1500 volumes. The books are in constant demand, and a scheme has been worked out, where credit is given for home reading. The work of practice teachers in the city schools of Bellingham has main-tained a high standard this year, due to the guidance of Misses Lee, O'Conner and Crawford. On the whole the past year has been the most successful in the history of the Training School. No small measure of its success is due to Miss Earheart. the principal. Iler executive ability, resourcefulness, sincerity and untir-ing energy have lightened the burden of many faltering practice- teacher, and won for her the respect and admniration of the school at large. 182 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 183 ---------- 183 C_--I---~_ - ~~--- -------- --- - ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 184 ---------- ALUMNI Come, all ye underclassmen, draw nigh unto us, the mighty seniors, for we have buried the hatchet.

This is the first time that the girls had a chance to) play matched ganes. The first meeting was called Sept. 28, '17, for all girls interested in HIockey. At this meeting each class elected their Captain and Manager. Senior- Captain, Kochefort ; Manager, Tyler. Junior-Captain, Polley; Manager, Campbell. Both teams showed interest and eagerness to learn the game. ()n both rainy and pleasant (lays the hockey grounds were crw(lc(l. l'ven the faculty organized a team and had their regular practice days. They threatened to enter the contest wit hthe Juniors and Seniors, but on account of bad weather they were disappointed in their plans. The (nly games that were played were between the junior and Senior teams, and these iwre evenly matched. The first game. Nov. 9, 1917, between the Jninors and Seniors, ended with no score on either side. Both teams were determinle(l to win in the next contest and began vigorous practice. Seniors made a goal in first half of the second game, Nov. 16, 1917, while the Juniors still had no score. The Juniors were not discouraged, and began their practice with new vigor, tbut to the disappointment of all, the rainy season began, before the scheduled gamine had been played.

The teams represent the different classes and have oppor-tunities during the year to contest for class honors. The winners of two games out of three have their class name and date of winning game engraved on the Kline cup. This is considered a great honor, and the teams drill hard and long to gain it for their class. On account of hockey,, basket ball was a little late in the field. Not until December first did the two teams, Juniors and Seniors, have a meeting and decide to play modified boys' rules. The girls began to practice with a vim, and the gym. was a scene of excitement every spare hour of the day. A captain and manager was chosen to represent each team. Senior Team-Eva Tyler, Captain, and Ruby Morganthaler, Manager. Junior Team-Valentine Newell, Captain, and Hlallie Campbell, Manager. The following schedule as arranged: February 13-Senior 17; Junior 18. March 4-Senior 29; Junior 16. March 21-Senior 22; Junior 21. The first game played between the Juniors and Seniors ended in a score of 18 to 17, in favor of the Juniors. The Seniors were not discouraged with the result of their first game, and began to practice more diligently and ar-ranged their team in a different way, so that they were able to defeat their Junior opponents by a score of 29 to 11 in the second game. Of course the third and final game was the most exciting of all events. In the halls and on the streets the girls were constantly planning for the game. At last the hour arrived. A large crowd gathered for the final game. At five o'clock the whistle blew and the game was on! Both teams played fast and furious, a clean game to win, for their class. During the second half the Juniors played with determination and their score began to rise. At last the whistle blew for time, and the Seniors again won, but only by one point. The Junior girls were disappointed, but took their defeat-woe be upon the person who says a girl is not a good sportsman! We must not leave out the important factors in Basket Ball. Miss Nick-erson, who was always there to see that the girls were doing their best; always giving suggestions, and never showing any favoritism. Miss Skalley, whose duty it was to tell the girls of their weak points, would willingly fill out the game during practice. LETTER GIRLS. Seniors: Eva Tyler Juniors: Valentine Newell Ruby Morganthaler Hallie Campbell Genie Hagen Alice Polley Mabel Newell Thelma Kohler Georgia Turple Regina Frank Bessie Agee BASE BALL As soon as the basket ball was over, baseball began. Both classes are of equal strength and have proven good matches for each other in base ball as well as basket ball. TENNIS This year tennis is a great success, thanks to the early spring weather. Now and then during the winter months, the tennis courts were busy. In April almost every girl carried a racket. The girls are looking forward to the tennis tournament which will take place near the close of the year, and we are hoping it will be a great success. 195 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 196 ---------- FRY DAVIS K HUGHES MILLER A 196 ENNETT CARVER, Coach PLIN BARTRIFF ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 197 ---------- ATHLETICS-MEN WINNERS OF THE "W" FOR YEAR OF 1918.

CAPTAIN HOMER KENNETT. Kennett is the only man left from last year's championship team. Those who saw him play last year predicted a wonderful future for him. He has lived up to his reputation and has been in the thickest of the fight from the first to the last whistle. This is his last year with W. S. N. S. and his loss will be keenly felt. HAROLD APLIN "Hattie" has been handicapped with injuries at different times thruout the season, but this has not kept him out of the game. In the games in which he -played he has proved himself to be right there all the time. He fights hard and when it comes to handling the ball "Hattie" has no peers. He will be -back next year. HARRY BARTRIFF Harry, our diminuative guard, has proved the surprise of the season. He looked small at the beginning, but when the ball was in play little Harry fought 'em off their feet. He will be remembered by his "spunk." which was ,clearly shown whenever he was on the floor. This is his first year and great- lt;er things can be expected from him next season. 199 * I ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 200 ---------- 200 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 201 ---------- HERBERT DAVIS Our small gym has been dubbed the "bull pen" and, if such it is, "Gig"I ought to have lived in the days of bull fighters. There is no one more at home on our floor than he. The forwards were mighty lucky that shot bas-kets on "Gig" in that little old gym. "Get the ball off the wall" is his sloga!n, and when he decides to get it, there are few things that stop him. He grad-uates this year. ORREN FRY "Old Reliable Fry" played in every game of the season and not once did he falter. Fry is not a spectacular player, but one on edge every minute. Al-tho this is his first year at guard he soon showed his worth and before the schedule was half played he had earned the reputation of being one of the most valuable men to the team. He is a Senior and will leave a large gap for "Sam" to fill next year. HOWARD HUGHES Neither large nor tall, yet Howard Hughes is all there. He has a queer habit of going down the open places that is most bewildering to opponents. Howard played more than any member of the team and as for wind and en-durance, it could be measured in barrels. He is a member of the class of '18, and will not be back next year. JOHN MILLER John, altho small, is a whirlwind in a basket ball game. He is the fastest man on the team and a dead shot. He brought dismay to the hearts of more than one guard by his long rainbow goals and when it came to team work there was no smoother running cog in the Carver machine. John graduates with the class of '18. 201 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 202 ---------- Landeal, Beaufort, Pratt, Coach Carver, Whiatker, Washke 202 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 203 ---------- At the beginning of the present year of basket ball Sam Carver had a school record of sixteen successive victories to uphold. With football out of athletics on account of the war conditions, the basket ball season was started early in December and immediately after the holidays suits were given out. From then on thruout the season the team improved with each game and finally when Whatcom was defeated in the final game of the season, the opposition had to be mighty strong to crack the Normal machine. On Dec. 11 our team journeyed to Fairhaven and started the season by annexing a 46 to 12 victory. Altho slow and wild at times, the quintet showed signs of ability and it was clear that greater things would be done in the future. Another week of strenuous practice brot us face to face with the same team. This time W. S. N. S. played with a weakened line-up, but had little difficulty winning, 23 to 10. Ellensburg 19, W. S. N. S. 32. Ellensburg, the champions of eastern \Vashington High schools, came to avenge the defeat of the previous season. They defeated the NWhatcom High, and the following night they came up to the Normal ready to take our scalp. With steady tread and set faces our team ran on the floor and after 40 minutes of speedy, desperate playing W. S. N. S. had put away another victim. Vancouver 46, W. S. N. S. 22. On Jan. 19 \W. S. N. S. was defeated for the first time in over two years. A tiresome day of travel and an immense gym, spelled defeat for our five. 203 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 204 ---------- Cushman 21, W. S. N. S. 43. When these warriors trotted onto the floor an audible murmur was per- ceptable in the audience. The game started with W. S. N. S. jumping into the lead with amazing suddenness and at the half were enjoying a comfortable lead. The Indians came back with avengeance in the second stanza and for a while the pace was fast and furious. Gradually, however, the Normal forged ahead and were rap-idly increasing their lead at the final whistle. The feature of the game was the sportsmanship of the Indians. College of Puget Sound 9, W. S. N. S. 46. This Tacoma team with an excellent record entered our gym on the even-ing of Feb. 9th. The Blue and White quintet, fresh from their victory the previous Saturday, and realizing the strong opposition they had, played a wonderful brand of ball. When the first half was over W. S. N. S. had a lead of 24 points. U. of Washington Freshmen 25, W. S. N. S. 18. Beaten by one man! This sums up the hardest fought game ever wit-nessed in the local gym. W. S. N. S. quickly jumped into the lead, but not for long. After all was over, Silk. our tall center friend had annexed nine baskets, a total of eighteen points out of his team's twenty-five. A feature of the game was the work of the Normal guards. They held their forwards to one lonely goal for two points. Cushman 16, W. S. N. S. 35. W. S. N. S. played Tacoma on the Cushman floor for the first time. The White and Blue fought the Cushman team to a standstill and won handily. The whole team played a stellar brand of ball, the guards again featuring by holding the Indian forwards to one goal apiece. College of Puget Sound 22, W. S. N. S. 17. Once again the White and Blue was trampled down, this time in the large Stadium High gym. This floor, which is large enough for two or three ordinary floors, thru some mistake was laid out into one. It is the largest basket ball playing area that any member of the team had ever seen and the Normal quintet was lost. Their short, quick passes were useless and their team work was shattered. 204 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 205 ---------- As it was the game was close and fast thruout and only in the last minutes of play did C. P. S. forge ahead to victory. The defeat was more than made up for by a previous victory when C. P. S. was beaten to the tune of five to one. Ellensburg 24, W. S. N. S. 32. After an eventful trip over the mountains the team arrived in Ellensburg only to find that the game had been forgotten about. After some good, direct suggestions and hasty preparations, things were soon adjusted and that night the local gym was packed. The brand of basket ball dished out that night against the champions of eastern Washington will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed the contest. Playing on their home floor and before a crowd of wild, cheering fans, the Ellensburg five fought to the last ounce of their strength. But the fast and furious teamwork of the Coast boys was not to be denied and they finally merged from the fight, the victors. The defense of the White and Blue was away above par, but the credit for the victory goes to the Normal forwards. Little John Miller was darting in and out like a streak, shooting his long rainbow goals time and again. In the meantime he was passing swiftly and surely to Capt. Kennett, who never played better in his life. His 170 pounds of bone and muscle was everywhere in the fight and his queer way of shooting with one arm was working with deadly accuracy. This combination was too much for Ellensburg and they had to be satisfied with second best. Vancouver 30, W. S. N. S. 27. On the evening of March 2, Vancouver again defeated the White and Blue five. We accept the defeat with good grace, but still wish that the game might be played over. The Canadians came down with but five men. The champions of B. C. started with a rush and before the local five awoke they had a comfortable lead. In the second half the Normal came back with a vengance and easily outplayed their opponents, the score being 15 to 9 for this period. The Van-couver lead was too great, however, and the game ended with our team on the short end of the score. 205 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 206 ---------- The W. S. N. S.-Whatcom Series. After a great deal of arguing and meditating the Normal and Whatcom, authorities arranged to play a series of basket ball to determine the champ-ionship of the city. Finally on Friday evening, March 8, the White and Blue crossed the town to the North Side school and before a crowd estimated to be the largest that ever attended a basket ball game in the Northwest, the contest began. Altho on a strange floor the superior team work of the Normal was evident and at the half was 15 to 9 with Whatcom on the short end. The second half started as the first and then the baloon went up. What-com got away with some long shots and for about three minutes the visitors went all to pieces. Shot after shot found the hoop and when their short rally was over the Northsiders had a comfortable lead. Then began the uphill climb of the Normal. They played rings around the High school, but when time was called they were on the wrong end of a 24 to 32 score. The desperate W. S. N. S. players held their alibis until the following night when they again mixed with the Crimson and White. The small gym was packed to the overflowing stage and many were turned away from the door. From the first whistle it was evident which team was stronger and the- White and Blue quintet had come back with a vengance. The W. S. N. S. scored 13 times from the field and 4 from the foul line, the final score being 30 to 15. The Normal team is clearly the champions by virtue of decisively win-ning three of the four halves, scoring far more field goals and making a totat; of 54 points as compared to 47 by Whatcom. 206 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 207 ---------- Coach Carver Capt. H1 ansen Miller Grell \Vashke Bartriff Cales Aplin 207 Brown Davis Elder Pratt ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 208 ---------- BASEBALL When Coach Carver issued a call for baseball candidates the first week of March there was a surprising large turnout. The warm sunny days put the-fever into the men and the old ball lot was covered with restless, hustling athletes. Competition for places on the White and Blue nine was keen and as a result the rough edges were soon smoothed off and by the end of March suits had been given to the twelve successful players. Nearly all of the men are from high school teams with a few very promising youngsters to fill in. "Nate" Coles landed the backstop job. He is a good hitter and whips 'em down to second with deadly accuracy. The pitching end is held down by Milton Grell and Raymond Elder. Both are steady, with good controll and a fine assortment of curves and speed. In the infield are Capt. "Rein" Hansen on first, Roy Pratt at second, Harry Bartriff holding third and John Miller - guarding short. They work together as one man and are due to cause worry to more than one team. The outergardens are occupied by Paul Washke in left, "Gig" Davis in center, and Jack Whittaker in right. All three field well and are there with the bat. Elmer Brown and "Les" Sorensen are ready to jump in any time they are needed. Coach Carver has, on the whole rounded out a well balanced aggregation that will leave an enviable record behind it.

Montana, Oregon, Idaho and various other places assembled at the Normal on the hill to create the largest and most versatile class in the history of the institution. We started out from the first to be leaders in all the school's activities. The girls won the Kline cup, the boys lent their assistance toward gaining honors for the school in baseball, basket-ball, and other athletic events. In a social way we had parties, mixers and picnics full of enthusiasm and good times. The big social events of the year and the class play, "Merely Mary Ann," and the Junior-Senior reception. Then came vacation. A few weeks passed and we were wending our way up the hill to enroll again as members in the biggest class in the history of the Normal school-the 1918 Seniors. Altho we lost some of our most valued members- many to teach, but many more responded to the call of their country and are now serving Uncle Sam here and Over There-new faces appeared to take their places in our ranks. We have had parties. picnics, mixers, hikes and outdoor sports of various kinds, but we have observed the strictest war-time economy at all times, and have been happier for it. We won the Herald cup by having the largest percentage of members to the top of Mt. Chuckanut on Saturday, April 18. Our Senior girls won the Kline cup and most of the players received let-ters. A large number of Senior girls received letters for successful playing in the hockey games. The boys, not to be outclassed by the girls, won the majority of the basket ball games played with other schools and received their letters, also. A happy and prosperous year terminated in the commencement exer-cises where over three hundred received their diplomas. -Mabl McFaddera. 220 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 221 ---------- THE '18 CLASS HAND.

Oh vast expanse of shining sea, And sweetly smiling isles of verdure green, How oft our thoughts have turned to thee When bound by daily tasks which irksome seem. Our feet again in thought will tread Those footworn paths, up Sehomee climb; Where we can see the mighty sun His flaming chariots ride to lands sublime. Oh comrades dear whom we have loved, Whose common thought and purpose we have shared; Our lives together we will knit, That those who follow us may know we cared. Oh go with us thou visions fair, Thou shining sea, inspiring hills, and flaming skies; And comradeship of fellow beings, Oh keep us near to thy great truths throughout our lives. 222 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 223 ---------- LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF MAY, 1918. We, the Senior Class of May, 1918, being of sound mind and in full po-ssession of the required amout of sense and nonsense, do hereby make and de-clare this our last will and testament for the purpose of disposing of our mis-fortunes, cares and responsibilities, also of our pleasures and ideals, and of bequeathing the same to our successors, do solemnly devise and bequeath as follows, to-wit: Article I To our beloved Alma Mater, we bequeath our superfluous knolwedge, .skill, diplomacy, and books on methods of pedagogy which we shall no longer -need in this life or the next.

(A) our eternal gratitude for their human understanding of us: (B) a set of automatic lesson plan adjusters and graders: (C) a carload of emotionless phonograph -records to be used for conference purposes. Article III To the next Senior Class- First: We bestow our beloved Father Bever, class advisor and program adjuster. We admonish our afore mentioned successors to treat him kindly and to remember him with pies and other dainties when he sits up late, and goes without his dinner in order to adjust their programs, as he has been - known to do for us. Second: We leave our empty class rooms, empty heads, empty hearts. and empty seats in assembly, hoping all such may be adorned as well as here- -toofre. Third: We leave our loyalty and our class spirit to the next Senior Class, and we leave our enthusiasm to the entire student body to be used at basket ball, base ball, and all other athletic turnouts. Fourth: We leave the Kline cup with a short treatise on how to keep it.

Twenty-eighth: To Dr. Nash, we leave a board of censors, before whom prospective Assembly speakers be given a "try out;" we recommend that this committee be composed of Miss Wilson, Miss Druse and Dr. Herre.

BARLOW THOMAS SMUITH Twenty-six years ago the citizens of Bellingham were anxiously awaiting the decision as to where in the county the new State Normal School was to be located. On February 19, 1893, a newspaper stated: " Now that Anderson's Normal School bill has passed, West Geneva and Langtry Point on Lake What-com are mentioned as desirable locations for a site." However, when the present site was donated, all other locations were for-gotten. In 1896, the first build-ing was erected at a cost of $45,000. The school opened its doors to students on September 6, 1899. The faculty hoped for an attendance of one hundred. Three hundred forty-nine en-rolled. The first assembly room was but a part of what is at present the library. The commencement exercises were held in the Bell-ingham Theatre, in old What- Ten ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 11 ---------- KLIPSUNzw comn. The first office of the president was the room which Mr. Bever now uses as an office. The one large ivy-clad stump is a reminder that in the early day s there were twenty-four such, set in a spuashy, mos-quito- inhabited swamp w h i c h lay between the knoll and the Normal building. The east end of Sehome was excavated and this swamp filled in. At that time there were not so many trees on the hill and those few stragglers which were striving to cling to the steep sides were only four or five feet tall. Fromi a small beginning has grown our present institution. The Training School building was added in 1901; Edens Hall in 1905; Science Annex in 1907; the Manual Training Shop and an additional amnnex to the Train-ing School in 1913. Dr. G. W. Nash became president of the school in 1914. Under his tlirection each department has steadily improved until our school has recognition throughout the entire United States. It is the purpose of D)r. Nash to keep the school abreast of the times and to offer courses that attract students from all parts of the state and other states as well. The result is seen in the large student body. A beautiful and well kept lawn is the pride of all of the students. During the year 1918-19 the Students' Loan Fund was in-creased to $15,000. Among the appropriations which have been granted to the Normal School during the year 1918-19 are $100,000 to be used for a dormitory, $15,000 for ad-ditional grounds and $82,000 for either a library or a new gymna- sium.

When all the West is lighted with the dying sun! Columbine and deer tongue, blue flag and ginger cup, Maiden fern, trillium, each one in retreat; Johnny-jump-up, violet, mayflower white, and green moss, Leafy limbs that quiver as the tall trees meet In a stir of evening wind; and swiftly then Falls the twilight on the trail, and on the woody glen. Din of battle over, and tread of hurrying feet, Bullets' whizz and trench-fire are long since passed away. A rider comes on woodland trail, as dusk lay in the forest, Who passes many an old-time haunt, clothed now in sun-set ray! He's back from gore-stained fields of France, beyond the mighty foam; He helped bring Peace to all mankind - so now, he's home! he's home! -- -- ~- -----~-~-~-----~-~ ~ _J ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 13 ---------- KLIPSUN OLIVE EDENS Acting Head of the English De-partment and Literary Advisor of the Klipsun. ___ MARIE CAREY IRUSE Head of the Department of Art and Handicraft, and Art Advisor of the Klipsun. :4 4 Tiee Thirteen ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 14 ---------- KLIPSUN KLIPSUN STAFF Fourteen ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 15 ---------- 4KLIPSUNV Klipsun Staff Editor in Chief Assistant Edilor Business Manager Art Association A thletics . . .

For my ship, she has sailed for realms remote and far from my land of birth; She has slipped the bars of the Golden Gate and heads for the end of earth! Oh! Gladly I'd hail the sting of the spray-I'd wade in brine to my neck Could I feel today the tilt of my ship, and plank my feet on her deck! They have sewed on my sleeve a discharge stripe, and tell me that I am free, Free from that portion, the lot of the "gob"-a gob on the open sea! They tell me again that lucky I am, with life and with love before. My mate can't they see that life if behind, that love is a closed door? They have shut me up in ten by twelve to sit here and push a pen, And they call that life, and they ask me why I long for the sea again! Yet here o'er my ledger I dream once more of the days that never can be, While my ship sails on by the Unmarked Trail that leads away to the sea. I've traveled the deep from the Guernsey Isles to lands of the Southern Cross; I've broken the laws of God and man, and I've killed my Albatross; I've suffered the curse of the "evil eye," and I've drifted at sea afar. But instead of the pen, I've held the wheel, and I steered by a guiding star! I've seen the crimson of the bursting mines in the sunset's after glow, And the grey-streaked terror, stained with blood, whom we sent to death below. All these I saw, and was unafraid, still undismayed I went forth; For blessed was I with a holy joy-I loved a lass of the North. But faith, it can waver and vanish, and love, it can wither too; So give me my ship on the ocean, the only lass that is true; And we'll leave for the sea together by way of the Unmarked Trail; We shall have a placid clearing, and not the sign of a gale; At the Golden Gate our skipper shall lift for us the bars, And there in the glow of sunset, we'll set our course by the stars. - IRENE PURDUE.

The faculty of this particular de-p) artmnent of Normal work has been strengthened by the return of one of its former members, Miss Cath-erine Montgomery, and the addi-tion of Misses Charleton, Morse, Moffatt, Wallace and Tompkins. The work of the Junior Red Cross was carried over from last year most successfully. The en-rollment was 100% of all Training School Students. The allotments of work to be done were sent direct from Seattle to Normal. As far as athletics are concerned, the following qluotation from the Normal Messeniler shows the ability and school spirit of our juvenile athletes: " Too much cannot be said in praise for the splendid record the Normal Training School basketball teams have established for themselves. During the season just closed, our boys won five out of six games played, and they acquitted themselves remarkably well throughout. Jack \Vhittakcr, who coached the boys, may justly be proud of the results attained. " There were two organized teams, one comlposed of eighth grade boys, and the other of both eighth and ninth. The eighth grade team was cominosed of the following: Edgar Foster, Nor-man Carr, Cyrus Neilson, Howard McClannahan, Ray Smith, Hubert Boone, Vance Radovyck and Ralph lHennes. The follow-ing made up the eighth and ninth: Nor:man Carr, Leslie Stuart, Cyrus Neilson, Howard McClannahan, Vinton Groat and Gordon Broadbent. "The schedule of games played with the results follows: Normal 14, vs. Lowell 10; Normal 22, vs. Lowell 6; Normal 29, vs. Whatcom Freshmen 24; Normal 29, vs. Whatcom Freshmen 28; Normal 31, vs. Y. M. C. A. Intermediates 28; Normal 17, vs. Y. M. C. A. Intermediates 28." K Sixty-four ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 65 ---------- KLIPSU N In the lower grades, under the able supervision of the Misses Montgomery, Charlton, Moffatt, Tompkins and Gray, the little tots made splendid progress during the year, even though the " flu " hindered them. It is an inspiration to see the halls and rooms decorated with the work of these youngsters, some of which might put older people to shame. One of the valuable additions to the numerous advantages given pupils of the Training School this year is the juvenile library. In a room, especially furnished, these juvenile books are attractively displayed. That such a library has been long wanted is evidenced by the eagerness and enthusiasm as displayed about it by all, even the littlest tots. Our Normal School has sent cadets into the city school sys-tems of both Everett and Bellingham, where they have met with great success in their work under the able supervision of Miss Drake in Everett and Mrs. Samson and Miss Nellie Lee in Bell-ingham. Miss Earhart, the efficient principal of the entire Training School, is responsible for much of the success of this year. Through many difficulties she has raised the standard, and bears the loyalty and good-will of the pupils and student-teachers alike.

And a spirit took form and moved upon the faces of a few, and the few said, "Let there be clubs"-and there were clubs. And the people saw the clubs that they were good, and they divided themselves among the clubs. And the evening and the morning was long ago. Then another few said, "Let there be another club among the clubs and verily it shall be liter-ary." And the club was called Aletheia, which being interpreted means truth. And the forests brought forth an owl which is the bird of wisdom, and laid it at the feet of Aletheia. And it was morning 1916. And it came to pass that -Jt Seventy - I -~- -- ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 71 ---------- Aletheia waxed strong and flourished as a green bay tree, and the club grew and became mighty because of its members. Now Bertha. of the tribe of Crawford, Supervisor, raising herself to her full height, called to her assistance one Exean Woodard, known throughout the synagogue as Dean, and behold, they had the interests of the club at heart, and the fame of it was noised abroad into all that synagogue, so that the multitudes loitering in the corridors thereof were heard continually to ex-claim, "What is this great thing that hath come to pass among us!" And straightaway came the multitudes to the doors of the tabernacle, beseeching admittance therein. And lo. throughout that age there was much rejoicing and feasting in the tabernacle of Aletheia. Four days did they labor, and on the night of the forth the trumpet of the jubilee was caused to sound and they did eat and were merry. Moreover, not only were these occasions of feasting, but many and great were the problems propounded-yea even unto art, literature, music and science. And the evening and the morning was 1919. Now a voice which was heard as it were a trumpet saith, "Come up hither and I shall shew thee things which will be hereafter," and behold we saw greater things than these which were to come to pass, and lo, a great multitude clothed in raiment that neither mud nor dust can corrupt. And a smile is upon the faces of all, and verily it is a week-end festival of the Aletheians. And it came to pass that the name of Aletheia waxed mighty throughout the length and breadth of the synagogue, and its members loved it exceedingly. And the deeds of Aletiheia became an example for the clubs of other synagogues. Yea, though we walk through the valleys and shadows of life, yet shall we fear no evil, for thy influence, 0 Aletheia, is with us, memories of thee, they comfort us, thou restoreth our soul, thou leadeth us in the paths of understanding and truth for thy name's sake. Surely love and appreciation for thee shall follow us all the days of our life, and we shall think of thee kind-ly forever.

The weather was ideal for picnicking. A hearty dinner was eaten around a crackling campfire. Later, hikes were made to Lake Whatcom, Chuckanut and Inspiration Point. The visit to Vancouver, B.

It was organized in 1906. Miss Baker was requested to be club advisor by the organizers, and from that time she has been, not only an ardent worker in the club, but a real friend and advisor to each girl member. Through her un-failing inspiration and the interest of the members, the club has been able to accomplish its aim in literary work. Programs have been interesting and instructive. The first semester's meetings were devoted to the study of Finland. This began with a map study of Finland that created the desire to travel through that land of lakes and fens. This was followed by the story of the rediscovery of their epic poem, "The Kalevala." The study of the quaint customs and legends of those people with illustrations from their myths, and finally a short history of that much troubled little land. The study of copies of fam- ous art productions in the Nor-mal building and their respec-tive artists was taken up the sec-ond semester. This study was given in talks on the lives of the artists, with the discussion of such of their paintings as we could find reproduced in the Normal hall pictures, and in the other photographic collections. This course was equally interest-ing. Instrumental and vocal S Seventy-four ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 75 ---------- 1KLIPSU N music, readings, recitations and parliamentary drills lightened the programs. The first big social event of the year was a trip to Miss Baker's cabin at Lummi Island, taken on the twenty-seventh of September. All who went had a most delightful time. On January first and March first were held the initiation parties, both proving interesting and successful. The Christmas party that was to be given at the home of Mrs. Jenkins, was planned and well under way, but influenza stopped all operations. The party was given on the sixtenth of April, instead, and all went in pinafores and pigtails, casting aside cloaks of dignity for the time being. On the fourteenth of February the Juniors of the club enter-tained the Seniors at a banquet at the Leopold, a continuation of an old established custom of the club. Mrs. G. W. Nash and her mother, Mrs. Fuller, were the guests of honor. In keeping with the ideal of service, the club held a candy sale on January the twentieth, and the proceeds were given to the Armenian Relief Fund. On March twentieth, Mrs. Foster of this city, gave a very interesting talk on her experiences while teaching in Northern Alaska. Another interesting feature was the Arbor Day program given by the clubs of the school. The aim was to beautify the campus of our dear old Alma Mater. And now all members look with sorrow to the time when they must of necessity dissolve union, but there will linger in their hearts, unchangeable by time's rough seas, happy memories of our times spent in congenial fellowship.

The Club adopted a little French war orphan, and have re-ceived many interesting letters concerning her.

Miss Gray and Miss Milne, the club sponsors, have made possible through their good counsel and interest, much of the rapid growth and success of the club. In September was held the first reunion at Squalicum Beach, around a camp fire. Throughout the year our programs have been based upon the holidays of each month. The club did its " bit " at the students' mixer in February by giving the shadow play, " Mary Jane." In March, Miss Milne and Miss Gray entertained the club at a social meeting with great success. Perhaps no reference should be made to initiation. All can-not be told of it, but nose races, aerial flights and blood-curdling scenes of terrible warfare and living torture took place. Let us bury the past. Esther Stuber delightfully entertained the club in her home, in April. Every club member will long remember that evening. Another party each club member cannot forget, is the Garden Hall party. At that party everyone enjoyed herself to the full extent of the law. By faithful and harmonious work the club has accomplished its original aim and the interest of the new members gives encouragement for the future.

Secretary-Treasurer Centuries ago, when the foundation of history was assuming the strength and proportion necessary to sustain the burden of future civilization, the adamant rocks of Delphi gave issue to oracular fumes of superstition. Men journeyed to this place to gain the knowledge for which their restless natures yearned. They believed in the veracity of the Oracle, and believing, they knew. One day a group of travelers entered the mystic sanctums of Delphi. They were prominent men of ancient Athens. The cold realities of the present dissolved into obscurity, and the seers were gazing at a marvelous picture, a picture animated by strange beings with strange costumes. They were sitting about a camp fire in the jungles of Whatcom Falls Park. The solemn roar of the fall itself could be distinctly heard, while the phantom-like shadows of the campers danced in grotesque array among the nearby trees. But hush, one Ernest Kobelt was speaking, while the rest did heed in rapt attentiveness. He related hideous tales about bears and catamounts that he did overcome and sub-due, how at one time he did descend through the hollow of a tree to the domain of a ferocious grizzly bear and, with but the aid of a cork-screw, urge said grizzly to leave his domicile. As the speaker concluded his harrowing narrative, he was rewarded with ejaculations of wonderment and awe. Eighty-six ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 87 ---------- The picture faded, as does a vivid dream when the sleeper is disturbed, but another took in its place. Our Grecian wights gazed upon the same gathering, but under vastly different circulm-stances. The oracle portrayed a large, beautifully furnished room. People were sitting around tables, shaking little cubes of wood with letters upon them. It was evident that a game of some sort was in progress. Moving about among the company and smiling quietly to himself and everyone else, was observed a tall, scholarly looking gentleman, often addressed as Mr. Phillipi. It could plainly be seen that he was sponsor and host of the proceed-ings - that he was entertaining them in honor of an important event. It was the birthday party of a great organization. Other pictures of interest appeared and vanished. These showed different members of the same organization busy at various occupations of work and amusement. And they showed themselves capable of entering just as heartily into one as in the other. In fact, many were called upon to act as leaders in school activities, and they performed their duties with efficiency and dispatch. A most interesting portrayal of this congenial body of young people was that describing their week-end party in the wilds of Lake Whatcom. Nature seemed determined to outwit the happy plans of the party by calling down unending floods of rain, but in this she was unsuccessful. Each camper wore a smile that could not wash off, and went about his duties, social and other-wise, with joy and sincerity. A few accidents occurred, which only made the occasion a success. One of the campers attempted to step from a row-boat onto a float--but, sad to relate, he missed the float. An enterprising youth started to take a party of ladies for a launch ride -and ran out of gasoline. Two of the boys " borrowed " a row-boat - and were caught. But the most beautiful picture was that showing the campers grouped around a glorious beach fire, singing, telling stories and otherwise enjoying the friendly companionship which no human being should be so unfortunate as to lack. And it was on this scene that the Grecian seers saw the picture slowly fade, and felt the realities of their present, hum-drum existence intrude upon their minds. They left the mystic, enchanted atmosphere of Delphi fully realizing that they had seen the work and play of the Philomnatheans -- Lovers of Learning.

To my surprise and delight, I recognized Leo Brewer, an old school-mate of mine at the Bellingham State Normal. We had scarcely exchanged greetings, when a cheer arose from those on deck, and we turned for a last look at the Statute of Liberty, standing out in bold relief against the glowing afternoon sky. "We can now partially appreciate the emotions of our sol-dier boys when they left New York ten years ago," he said, as we sought the comfort of some steamer chairs. "I take it that you, too, are bound for Paris to attend the International Education Association, " Upon my answer in the affirmative, he started to reminesce. "The year when we were at Bellingham-that was in 1918-1919, was it not?-was rather a discouraging one for the Rural Life Club, but we were not the only sufferers from the Iflu.' At any rate, we more than made up for a bad beginning." " Indeed we did," I warmly agreed. " The Christmas party was a success even though it did come after the New Year. I still laugh over the way Patty and Zeramba looked after the initiation at the Valentine Party." "They resembled Indians in war p)aint," laughed Mr. Brewer. "Do you remember that idea of having sectional meetings? I have carried out the same plan in our high school literary society. Public speaking with Mr. Klemme was surely a pleasure. By the way, did you know that he is on this same boat?" "No," I exclaimed in delighted surprise, "then we certainly must find him. Perhaps he can tell us if Miss Keeler and Mr. Coughlin still keep up the music and dramatic sections. How I should like to pay the club a visit ! " "Same here!" he responded with boyish enthusiasm. "Last year I attended the Rural Life Conference, but did not enjoy it half as much as the one in 1919. Every member worked hard to make that conference a success. I still keel) my gray and crimson badge among my sacred relies." "Has our Arbor Day shrub-bery survived ? " I asked. " Survived ? Every spring they say it is the most beauti-ful clump on the carmpus " Thus talking and laughing over our club, and the happy days we spent at Bellingham Normal, we realized how very much the Rural Life Club had meant in our lives.

Rah! Rah ! Rah! Rah Rah! Rah! Rah!! Everybody here's a Thespian!" So vividly did I dream, that I started violently up and looked about for the old familiar faces. Of course there was nothing to be seen but the inky blackness outside the glow of the dying fire and the laughing moon and the jolly little stars overhead. Soon the fire was crackling away right merrily and I lay down again to let my imagination paint pictures in the flames. I remembered the first Thespian meeting in the fall of 1918. The faces were all strange with the exception of one old member, Mrs. Higginson. But our heart's desire was for dramatics and with that bond to hold us together we determined to make Thes- pian the club of the school. " Did we do it?" And even as I laughed at the sound of my own voice in the stillness I waited for that circle of faces there in the fire to shout "Aye! " For so thinks every loyal Thespian. Then came the picture of the dull days when the "flu" raged in our midst. Quickly passing that I came to the second quarter when " Sis " Ober and " Red " Beardslee, Thespians of former years, came back to us. With the aid of Ab Hennes, whose loyal Thespian heart brought him back on club nights, they guided us into the paths of true Thespianism. I laughed as I thought of our wild debates over a Thespian play, and felt a little sad, too, to think that we could not arrange to have it in the spring when we were all there. Big plans were made, however, for what should be done during the summer session. Then came the last quarter and the return of " Bill " Nobles with all his Thespian pep. How the time flew from then until the annual banquet and we closed the year with one riotous evening over the festal board.

Meetings are called from time to time in which problems of mutual interest are discussed. These busi- ness meetings are sometimes varied with musical numbers by some of the many talented members. During the war, Hooverized programs were given at which the following line of topics pre-vailed: " Substitutes for Meat and Wheat," " How to Keep Up Nutrition and Keep Down Expense," "Tasty and Nutritious Dishes from Left-overs." The one big event of the year is the Young Housekeepers' mid-winter picnic. This is held in the big " gym," each family group seated around its own red table cloth and indulging in house "yells " and songs. Crossed frying pans furnish mural decorations, while broomsticks stacked like rifles add the military touch, and gay festoons of yellow grocery bills make the old " gym " a fitting bower for the festive occasion. When we have played until the whistle is a welcome sound, we seat ourselves " Turkish fashion " and have an open forum in which each con-tributes her bit along the line of little economies which she has discovered, the best places to buy, a good recipe for cheap cake, et cetera. " Fun, friendship and physical fitness " is the slogan of the Young Housekeepers.

Plans were made for the usual fall tasks of meeting trains and boats, and welcoming the new girls with gifts of flowers. The first devotional meeting was held Sunday, September the 15th, in the Association room. Dr. Nash gave us a message of comfort and cheer, and pledged his hearty sympathy and co-operation, and for the redemption of that pledge he has our deepest gratitude. The two o'clock period was set aside on Thursdays for our regular Association meetings. We have had many very interest-ing speakers, Two weeks after the opening of school a reception was held on the third floor of the Normal, to which the whole school was invited, and especially the new girls. This proved to be the only social event in school until the middle of December, as two weeks later the Normal was closed indefinitely on account of the pre-vailing influenza. A tea was served on Thanksgiving Day to those who could not reach their homes during the one day allowed for a vacation. Mrs. Ethel Thompson, the assistant dean of women, acted as our chief advisor until the new year, serving in the place of Miss M. Belle Sperry, who is taking a year's leave of absence. Influenza was the primary cause of our losing so valuable a helper; the secondary cause was a gentleman by the name of Muir, who stole her away from us to a beautiful home in Seattle. For a while we were like a ship without a pilot, but our salvation was found in Miss Gertrude Longley, head of the Home Economics Department. There are numerous Bible and mission study classes scattered over the " Hill" and at the Y. W. C. A. building. We desire to thank all the faculty members and others who have made these classes possible. The Y. W. C. A. cafeteria has been under the charge of Miss Grace Ryckman, to whom the whole school owes a vote of thanks for the bodily comfort her hot lunches have been to the school.

The club has furnished the music for several commence-ments, and also for the Rural Life Conference. A beautiful recital was given later, May 16. The club is grateful to Mrs. Thatcher for her hearty co-operation with, and interest in the club at all times. Her kind and faithful attitude toward the organization has added much to the pleasure and profit of the year's work. Upon several occasions, the quartette has visited the smaller towns outlying Bellingham, giving recitals, furnishing music for Liberty Bond drives and school programs. A splendid repertoir was the result of continued and faithful practice. Much musical experience and knowledge has been gained by the young women who will in turn form like organizations in the schools to which they will go.

Then will my creation be art whether I be poet or painter, blacksmith or cobbler, for I shall have labored honestly and lovingly in the realiza-tion of an ideal. - C. Valentine Kirby. Art competitions are familiar to all of us. There are com-petitions in landscape studies, portrait painting, flower composi-tions- all the many lines of so-called art. The Inland Printer for March, 1919, calls attention to the result of a nation-wide competition in letter-head arrangement. What is the meaning of this new competition? It merely offers a concrete example of the growing feeling that art and progressive industry are inseparable. The letterhead is a business proposition; its arrangement is a matter of design. It may please or offend as the design is good or bad. Business men are learning that poor design is poor busi-ness. They are beginning to demand with greater and greater insistence that the schools of the country send them workers who can turn out an artistic product. But besides serving the ends of industry, art is something that enters into the very fibre of our lives. It takes the most common necessities of life - food, clothing and shelter - and by a touch so light it seems accidental, transforms these into things of charm and beauty. Unconscious art is the moving factor in all play, and the hardest work may become like play through the magic of an art touch that gives it rhythm, movement or color. If art has a real value in making life itself livable plus a value in industry as a thing by which we live, then, surely, art is too precious a thing to drop out of the minds and hearts of our American boys and girls, men and women. Its value is great today, but it will be greater tomorrow, and its greatness will increase until its influence will be felt by all of us down into the minutest details of our lives. Our art department has been an exponent of these two essen-tial characteristics of art - a thing to live and a thing by which to live. We have dwelt long and earnestly on the fundamentals of all true art - honesty of purpose, good faith in execution, pride and pleasure of accomplishment. Our work has borne out our definition of art as refined commonsense. The work done by a class of girls from the home economics department is one illustration of this. Their study of color and color harmony was applied to making appropriate decorations for a luncheon table, and afternoon tea, or, perhaps, a design for a school dress. Their study of lettering was applied in the making of menu cards. The contents of the home piece bags were utilized in the making of applique designs for such varied articles as piano _7J One hundred eight ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 109 ---------- K IPSUkN t scarfs, pillow tops, dress and evening bags. Another class trans-formed ordinary gunny sacks into attractive porch pillows by adding designs worked out in bright colored yarns. Another and entirely different phase of the work has been the making of com-mercial posters by one of the advanced drawing classes. One especially attractive set advertised foods; another used the " Own your home " slogan, and a third developed " fashions." These posters showed remarkable originality of thought as well as skill of workmanship. There have been two exhibits of work during the year. The first was held during the time of the Rural Life Conference, when several hundred visiting teachers, principals and superintendents passed through the four rooms of the art department. This exhibit had been planned to be of special help to the teachers of the rural schools, and the number of notebooks in evidence spoke eloquently of the appreciation of the visitors. The second exhibit was held in May and was an unusually attractive affair. The walls and tables were covered with excel-lent work done during the year, the rooms were bright with flowers, and the Studio Art Club girls served tea at beautifully appointed tables. An exceptionally fine collection of baskets made by the basketry class was one of the big features of the exhibit. Another phase of work shown was a group of local landscapes in water color, and some splendid pencil sketches by the advanced drawing classes. There was much work that could be carried directly into grade classes, and the work was arranged in such a way that the development from primary to intermediate, from intermediate to upper grades could be easily seen and followed. The whole exhibit carried out the idea that the real artist must see art in every walk in life. -- -- -- -- -- One hundred nine ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 110 ---------- KLIPSUN The Flower and the Weed A weed is but a misplaced flower, Which wastes its strength in useless bloom, To live a parasitic life and die, at least, As useless as it lived.

Mark Embury, a scholar and scientist, had theories that the best way for a man to obtain a partner in life is to bring up a wife after his own ideals. This he planned to do, but as Burns said, "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee." Embury reared a wife, but reared her, as it turned out, for another man. So the play ended, not as expected, but happily after all, with Peggy, " Little Britain," as the bride of Captain George Lovell.

The plot of the play centers about Celia, the eldest of the four Faraday girls, who, unlike her sisters, seems still free from any nmatrimnonial entanglements. Becoming desperate over her " position," she decides to create an imaginary lover, and, to keep up appearances, writes him some love letters, addressing them to Col. John Smith, with the English Army in Africa. Phyllis, finding one of these letters, thinks that Celia had forgotten to mail it, and sends it off with the other mail. But as it happens, there is a real Colonel Smith in the English Army, and a game Colonel Smith, for upon receiving Celia's letter he decided to find the writer and hold her to the sentiments ex)ressed in the letter. So it was that Celia did not have to follow the old custom that the older sister of the family must wear green stock-ings if the younger ones are married first.

The question, " Resolved, that the United States Government should permanently retain the control and operation of railroads, constitutionality waived," drew best talent from the school. The Senior team, composed of Ruth Lineberry, Helen Schwartze and William Edson, spoke for the affirmative, while the Junior team, made up of Enid Shumway, Anna Taube and Harold Marshall, argued for the negative. Sad to say, the Junior team was awarded the decision. One hundred sixteen ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 117 ---------- E KLIPSUN EDSON SCHWARTZE LINEBERRY The first speaker for the affirmative was Ruth Lineberry, who pointed out that out of sixty-five countries having extensive rail-ways, sixty-one of these were successfully operated by the gov-ernment, with economy and efficiency. Miss Lineberry's speech was very forceful and convincing. Miss Taube was the first speaker for the negative. She con-tended that in the private ownership and control of railways, the average wage paid to employees was higher than during govern-ment control. She also stated that more transportation could be bought in the United States for a certain sum of.money than could be bought in Europe for the same amount. Miss Taube brought out her points very well, indeed, and her arguments were also forceful from the economic point of view. One hundred seventeen ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 118 ---------- V4I Next came Miss Schwartze, the second speaker for the affirm-ative. Miss Schwartze maintained that railroads under govern-ment control were more unified and co-operative, whereas the privately managed and controlled roads were managed for money and personal gain. Miss Schwartze cited the cases of the Alaska railroad and the Panama railroad. Enid Shumway was the second speaker for the Juniors. She claimed that government ownership would be a positive menace to railroad efficiency. Trained men, educated along this line, would be the only successful operators, and besides, if the govern-ment were not strictly honest, the public would be easily filched. The last speaker for the Seniors was William Edson. He said that people and all they possessed should not be entrusted to the care of a few capitalists, but should be placed in the hands of the government. He pointed out that during time of war, the Euro-pean government ownership was successful in getting men and supplies to the front in less time than privately controlled rail-roads would have done. Besides this, dividends were increased in the government controlled railroads. Harold Marshall, the last speaker for the negative, made a most brilliant speech. The rebuttals for each side were convincing and each sum-marized points very cleverly. This debate is an annual inter-class affairs of great import-ance. It was attended with a grand show of class snirit. The judges were Mr. Charles I. Roth, Judge Craven and Professor Forrest, of Fairhaven High School.

The second team basketball had given the first a hard tussel. Tomorrow night the big game between Hanford High and Burton was to come off. " Gee! I wish I were a real player! " sighed Dick to himself, " but I guess we second teamers are worth something just to keep the first in practice." " Wait a minute, fellows! " Bob Lane, captain of the first team, ran across the floor and stood with his back to the door. He studied the slip of paper in his hand for a moment, then lifting his head with a quick smile, read: " Lineup for tomorrow night, center, Olmstead; forwards, Lane, Curtis; guards, San-ders, Rolman; subs, Kirkfield, Olson, Gray. Now keep the diet rules. We must win this game." Then with a laughing, " Excused," in imitation of one of their professors, Captain Bob threw the door open and stepped aside to let the others pass. Dick stood speechless, the basketball which he had been idly tossing up and down poised ready for another toss. " Forwards, Lane, Curtis! Forwards, Lane, Curtis! " kept drumming in his brain. Suddenly he saw Joe Prescott's white face, the other side of the group. Why had Joe been put off? Dick's heart filled with a strange pity - then a sudden anger at himself, " to be put on the first team and then wish you weren't," he upbraided him-self, and flung the basketball viciously under the bench. Joe glanced across quickly and a smile hovered around his drawn lips as their eyes met. The other boys were silently filing out. Joe was evidently waiting for Captain Bob. This was what Dick had intended to do. " It won't do for both of us to wait. I'll try to walk home with Bob," he decided, and hurried into the dressing room. His mind's vision of Joe's white face was now changed to the picture of a happy girl bending over a letter, and that letter was from himself, telling of his new honor, but again Joe's white face would take first place. " Pshaw! It's not my fault," he muttered, vig-orously applying his towel after his shower. " But Joe has played on the team every game this season and is as good as Lane," his conscience insisted. Bob and Joe soon entered the dressing room. Dick spent a good deal of time lacing his shoes and managed to leave the room just ahead of Captain Bob. He waited on the steps and they passed down the walk together. Neither spoke. Queerly enough, now that they were alone, Dick could think of no way to broach the subject. He cleared his throat. Bob paid no attention but walked on with a pre-occupied air. Dick eyed the set face angrily. One hundred twenty OF. ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 121 ---------- ,4K LIPSU N " Pity he can't say something. Maybe he's got a spite against Joe." This notion was so out-of-place with all they had seen of their splendid captain that Dick was intensely ashamed of himself for the thought. He glanced uneasily at Bob - then, again clear-ing his throat, began, "Say, I-I think those new bushes the gardener planted here look fine, don't you? " It was not what he had intended to say. Bob started. " What? Oh, yes! Fine! " he answered absent mindedly. Dick made another try. "Going to the mixer Saturday night? " Bob did not seem to hear. Then almost startling himself by his abruptness, Dick had it out. " Bob," he cried sharply, " what's the matter with Joe? Why is he put off the team? " Bob halted, hands in pockets. " I'm sorry, Dick, but it's not a matter for publication," he said crisply. They walked on. Bob's manner forbade further questioning. " Well, here's where I turn off. Good-night, Dick," and contrary to his usual custom, Bob turned down a side street. Dick stood staring after him. " Well, I'll be switched! " he ejaculated. Soon the new member of the Hanford High basketball team was in his own room. Flinging his books on the table, he sat down to think. But his thoughts were not pleasant ones. " I need new shoes if I am to play tomorrow night, so I may as well go down town and get them." He was soon on his way, following a short-cut that led down through the railway yards. As he reached the yards a log train was slowly puffing through. Idly watching, Dick was thinking about the possible history of the trees. Suddenly he sprang erect. The second side log of the car now passing was slipping. Yes, a stave which evidently had held it in place lay teetering on the log below. Ten feet in front of him an Italian workman was shoveling sand. The log would surely strike him. And his back was towards it! Dick's flesh grew cold in horror. Then at the same instant that he was saying, " Oh, well, he's only a Dago," a sweet girlish face with a reproachful expression flashed through his brain. He sprang forward and flung his shoulders against the loose end of the log with all his furious young strength. The loose end swayed back towards the car. The workman, awakened to his danger by Dick's scream, dropped flat and with a quick roll just escaped the log. But the boy's force on the loose end acted as a lever to the whole log. It bounded off the car and Dick was pinned securely beneath it. Other workmen came hurrying from all directions. They soon extricated the lad and sent him to the hospital. One leg was broken and the other badly bruised. The next day dragged by as though the minutes were weighted down. The nurse brought him a morning's paper. Glaring headlines announced, " High School Boy Saves Life of Italian Laborer." And oh! horrors! there was a picture of himself. With a feeling akin to anger and disgust, he thrust One hundred twenty-one P~i~ 1 ---- ~ ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 122 ---------- =IK LIPSUN N the paper under his pillow and lay staring at the ceiling. "I suppose I ought to feel like an angel of mercy," he soliloquized, " but I feel more like murdering somebody." At noon he was surprised by a visit from Bob. " Hello, Dick! " sa ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 123 ---------- KKLIPSUN Half an hour later, the new boy suddenly sat up in bed. " Shivah mah timbahs! " he hollered. " Shivah mah timbahs! " and began pounding his bed clothes with clinched fists. "Ah'll pound you to a jelly-- yuh wall-eyed, sniveling cabbage." By this time two nurses had reached the bedside and forced the boy down into the bed again where he lay struggling and muttering out vague threats. A doctor was coming swiftly down the room to the assistance of the nurses. Suddenly the light of conscious-ness dawned in the wild eyes. The boy lay back quietly and stared at the nurses. " Where am I?" he gasped. " Where's Joe?" " You were run over by an auto, but you'll be all right soon." "Oh!" exclaimed the panic- stricken boy. "Tell Marse Blakely tah come quick. Tell Joe tah come. Ah'm gon-a die! Ah knows Ah'll die! " " Here, here now! " interposed the doctor sternly, giving the boy's shoulder a shake. " Stop that racket! You're not going to die." " Oh, but Joe did'en tak' the money. Ah was mad cause he licked me fo' eatin' Miss 'Anson's choc'late creams. I)at money is under Miss 'Anson's blotter-pad this minute. Oh, Lord, for-give me! " The light of understanding had dawned in the doctor's face and his lips were twitching with a strong desire to laugh, as he said, " Well, if you promise to keep still, I'll call Mr. Blakely." "Ah promise," and the darkey boy closed his mouth tightly and stared wildly at the ceiling. Dick reached up and gave his electric bell an energetic push. A nurse came hurrying to him. " What time is it?" he asked abruptly. " Four-forty," answered the nurse, glancing at her wrist watch. " Will you call Main 6402 for me and tell Bob Lane to come down here just as quick as he can? Tell him it's important and he must come." The nurse glanced quizzically at her patient, then with a pleasant " I'll try," departed on her errand. Twenty minutes later Bob was at the hospital. His face was anxious and puzzled. " What's up? " he questioned. It did not take Dick long to explain. Mr. Blakely had entered the ward a few minutes before and with a relieved look on his face was now leaving. Bob followed him outside and then stepped up to him. "Pardon me! Mr. Blakely," he said. Mr. Blakely turned and eyed the young captain up and down. Bob flushed crimson and felt very awkward, but struggled on. "I am Bob I,ane." The financier extended his hand, with a genial smile. " Captain of Burton High basketball team? " " Yes," said Bob, rather surprised, and hurried on. " My friend just happened to overhear your office boy's confession. Joe has been one of our best players and we had to put him off because of that theft. Now if we could get the proof -- " " He could play tonight," finished the financier. " Come along to my office and we'll find out right away." _.._...... .. ..... One hundred thewty-three ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 124 ---------- LIKPS U Nt'- They jumped into the waiting auto and were soon on their way. "I used to play basketball myself," explained the big man, " and I'd do anything in my power to help Burton High win and to make amends to Joe." The bills were discovered where the darkey boy had placed them. " Good! " exclaimed Mr. Blakely fervently, as he drew them forth. Mr. Blakely, Bob, and the auto were kept very busy the next half hour with the result that when the boys' Burton High team ran onto the floor that evening, Joe was among them. " Eat 'em up! Eat 'em up! " howled the Hanford lines. One hundred voices from the Burton lines hurled out triumphantly, "Stop your racket, Stop your fuss, Stop your howling, And watch us! " And Hanford answered back: " Rickety rick-rack! Chickety chick-chack! Give them the horse- laugh, Ha! Ha-a!" The teams were very evenly matched and the game was fast and furious throughout. The final score stood 25-20 in favor of Burton. As soon as visitors were allowed next morning, Bob, with face alight, was again standing by Dick's bedside. " Dick," he exclaimed happily, " we played a winning game; but it wouldn't have been possible without Joe, or without you, for you made it possible." " They would have found out Joe was innocent, if I hadn't done anything," protested Dick. " Yes, but not in time for the game. You've been playing a winning game right here." _1z0,1 One hundred twenty-four ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 125 ---------- AKKL PSUN 4. A Bachelor's Experience SECOND PRIZE STORY FLORENCE RICE I am a government agent - along just what line is immaterial to my story, except that my investigations led me through a wild and sparsely settled region of the Middle West. It was here I stumbled onto a most remarkable circumstance, the memory of which will never leave me - a thing unanswerable, dreadful - yet of baffling interest. It all hinged upon so simple a thing as a drink of water. I had traveled a weary way under the hot August sun and was very glad, indeed, when I chanced upon an old well, which stood some little way from a ramshackle log house. This was during those troubled times when German treachery was being evidenced on every hand. Thirsty as I was, I yet paused a second, trying to realize what the poisoning of water supplies must have meant to thirst-maddened soldiers. On top of that thought came another, most unwelcome. Such things were not unknown in our own country! Suppose it were unsafe to drink from this inviting fountain! Had I any right to risk my own life and jeopardize the government interests with which I was intrusted? I thrust the idea aside as being foolishly morbid and looked about for a bucket. First, I turned the old-fashioned windlass, hoping to find one attached to the weather-beaten rope. There was nothing there but the swinging end, which appeared to have been severed with a knife. Disappointed, I looked sharply about, but discovered nothing more than a bit of soft leather, which had plainly once been a baby's shoe. The buttonholes were stretched open from repeated fastening across some chubby little foot. Something forlorn in its unexpected appearance in this wilderness caused me first to pause and then slip it into my pocket. How universal is the appeal of a baby! Here was I, a hard-headed professional man, a bachelor of thirty-nine years and absolutely without the softening influence of mother, sister or even a stray aunt - here was I, clumsily fingering a bit ot chamois just because it had once covered a baby's pink foot! "What strange creatures we men are! " I was thinking as I approached the house in my search for a bucket. The door was slightly ajar. I rapped perfunctorily, then stepped inside. The sight that met my eyes was most disconcert-ing. The room was a dining room and kitchen combined. Evi-dently a meal was in the process of preparation, for the table was set for two and I noticed several pots and pans on the stove. The cabinet doors stood open, revealing many-sized jars and tins . ,I-"' One hundred twenty-five ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 126 ---------- SKLIPSU N of spices, sugar, etc. All was just as it might be if the woman of the house had stepped out to call dinner - all but the dust. There was dust piled thick over chairs, tables and dishes. Cobwebs swung from the rests on the stove, back and forth, and among the pots and pans. The floor was so thick with dust that I looked behind to find my own footprints staring boldly at me from the doorway. My curiosity was greatly aroused, and I passed on into the next room. Here, again, was food for speculation. Before a comfortable looking heater was drawn a low-back chair and on the stand beside it a book lay, face down, as though the reader had received sudden interruption. On a rack, by the stove, some clothes were airing, which I recognized with a start as baby's garments. The thing was getting on my nerves. Here was every evidence of recent habitation, while the dust and the stillness were silent witnesses to the contrary. I turned to go upstairs and nearly tripped over a baby's bottle lying hidden by the dust and gloom. Upstairs, clothes were strewn about on the bed as if hastily torn from the closets. Bureau drawers were half open while the only sign of life was an old owl blinking peacefully from the rafters. Nonplussed by the affair. I retraced my steps to the sitting room. What possible fortune or misfortune had caused people to depart so hastily from their home? What did it all mean? Looking about for a clue, I picked up the book from the table. What I discovered there roused me instantly from a state of dreamy wonderment to a practical realization of a serious situa-tion. The book was a German text and from its pages dropped a manuscript, the signature of which I knew only too well as belonging to the leader of an organization most deadly to our government. Here was a matter worth looking into and I determined to inquire at the first opportunity. Literally shaking the dust of this place from me, I plodded on into the twilight before reach-ing shelter with a hospitable farmer and his wife. Inquiry from him and from others throughout the locality gave me this information: A man and his wife had settled there nearly two years before. Nothing was known of their previous history and very little of their doings while there. They were often seen working together in the fields. He was a silent man, forbidding in aspect, and his wife was strangely unyielding to social advances. While there, a little child was born which seemed to be continually crying. No one appeared to know when they left or anything at all about their departure. The last seen of them was February 20 when the above farmer had gone that way for a load of wood. A date which he remembered since that load of wood made the last payment on his place. His wife then reminded him that the house had been deserted three days after that date, when they had stopped in on their way to town. This narrowed the time of departure to three days, February 20, 21 and 22. 7 One hundred twenty-six ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 127 ---------- KLIPSUN ... ..... The next step was to question the stationmaster of the lone depot, which formed the only means of exit. This was a pro-ceeding which promised little at first, as his memory did not seem equal to the occasion. Just as I was about to leave in despair, he "came to" with the statement that his sister was married February 21. Irrelevant as the remark appeared, it formed the basis for the following sworn statements. On the day of his sister's marriage, while the bridal party were waiting at the depot, he remembered distinctly seeing this fellow Black hanging around with another man. He was very sure about it because he had his " bloomin' old satchel " right in the road all the time. "'Peared like he was skeered suthin' would happen to the old thing. Marthy was mighty bothered fear folks might think he b'longed to her party - him and that disgraceful lookin' baggage! Why they was great cracks split in the leather an' the whole thing was fastened with - now what do you s'pose? " demanded the old man; but I had no time for that. I wanted to know if any one had left the day before or the day after. " No," grumbled the old fellow, " all the excitement had to come to onct! Why couldn't them two guys hev come the week before, when everything was so dead or when I was so darn lonesome durin' the storm? Ye see we had a storm for the nex' ten days an' not a soul come nigh!" That was enough for me and I rushed out, flinging my thanks behind me as I went. Undoubtedly Black left on that train and the man with him might have been his wife, but if so, where was the baby? An ugly suspicion flashed into my mind that made me involuntarily seek out the little shoe in my pocket and gave me a new motive for search. The police records finally confirmed the stationmaster's report, for a man and his wife dressed in man's garb, had been arrested in a nearby city the evening of February 21. Documents on their persons established their identity and guilt without ques-tion and they had been sentenced to a long term. The only question now, was, what had become of the baby? Maybe most people will think me a fool, but I still have that little shoe in my pocket and I am still looking for my answer. Black and his wife escaped, so that possible source of information is 'gone. Every stone has been turned but without avail. Three possible solutions chase each other through my mind as I turn the tiny footwear over in my hand. First, I try to think that the poor baby may have died from weakness and disease, before Black and his wife fled. To dispel this comes a memory of tiny robes hung by the fire and a baby's bottle lying on the floor. Then I fancy perhaps the child is alive somewhere today, and that Black and his wife carried it off in their strange baggage. Perhaps they cut the rope from the well to secure it better. How I wished I had let the old stationmaster talk when he wanted to! But even so, how had they gotten rid of it so quickly? The arrest was made immediately as they left the train and though their baggage was searched no mention was made of a baby. Always there comes back that lurking suspicion - the shoe lying by the One hundred twenty-seven lt;El~ iC~W"i~b~ ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 128 ---------- KLIPSUUN curbing, the rope cut and the customary bucket gone! Put with this the desperate nature of their enterprise and the ruthless character of the participants and you have some ground for serious reflection. Nevertheless, being a philosopher, I hold the little shoe to the light and claim it as mine, for whether the baby is lost or found, it is something for a man to feel ownership in a baby's shoe.

RAIRDON One hundred twenty-eight ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 129 ---------- KLIPSU E The " W" HONORABLE MENTION WINNIE SPIESEKE The house was what nearly all who passed called " The House of Dreams," for it represented the ideal home that everyone plans more or less definitely some time in life. It wasn't what an archi-tect would call " stylish " and the garden wouldn't have suited the ideas of a modern landscape gardener. The house itself, a small, plain, white building with green shutters and the same colored roof, nestled peacefully among the trees and flowers. It had age and stability that can only be acquired after generations of people have passed through its rooms. From the chimney curled a thin, blue smoke, that added the human touch to the scene; for where fire is, there is life. As the sun was low in the West, the birds were chirping their last farewells to the day, and over the garden descended the quiet and peace of twilight. The frag-rance of the hollyhocks, the jasmines, the roses, the pansies, the phlox and all the ohter beautiful, old-fashioned flowers blended together into a delicate odor that spoke of rest and peace. That was what the house had different from other dwellings. It was peace and harmony, not the peace that comes from inactivity, but the peace that comes after the battle has been fought and the victory won. Over one of the flower beds that was bordered with candy-tuft, and which had been recently spaded and raked, bent an old lady. With the handle of the hoe she was very skilfully marking off a large "W" in the center. When the lines were straight enough to suit her, she carefully and tenderly lifted from a box beside her a bunch of forget-me- nots and planted them on the line. One bunch after another she planted until in the center of the bed was a large " W " made of these little blue flowers. Rising slowly, she stood and watched the man as he gently sprinkled the little plants with an old-fashioned sprinkling can. After this was done and the man had gathered up his tools and gone off, she stood a long time gazing at the W with eyes that saw not, for she was buried in thought. A large, white Angora cat came down the walk and rubbed his head against her skirts. As if slowly bringing her thoughts back to the present, she stooped and picked him up, and carrying him under one arm, she slowly made her way to the house and disappeared within doors. It was night and the garden was in darkness, but from three of the windows of the house a soft amber light flowed out and lighted up a small space before each window. Looking into the room one saw first the white-haired lady as she sat in the large A. wicker chair beside the table. At one side of her stood the large One hundred twenty-nine ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 130 ---------- EI KLIPSUNE! amber-shaded reading lamp, and the light fell, as it seemed, with special kindness over the regular wrinkled features as she sat knitting on some socks. Noticing that the light from one of the mantel lamps fell directly on the bird cage, and so kept the little songster from sleep, she arose and turned it off, and picking up a piece of black cloth carefully covered the outside of the cage so as to keep out all the remaining light. Then as she came back to the table, she opened the drawer in it and took out a photograph of a young man. He was dressed in a United States officer's uniform and one could see that he was the woman's son, for he had the same regular features, the piercing eyes and the strong mouth. His face showed courage and character as did the face of the woman who bent over the picture. But in both was the peace that comes with spiritual life, that which most people call " that something." As she looked at the picture the woman's eyes lost their stare and slowly filled with tears, and her face seemed to tremble as if she were suppressing powerful emotion. Blindly she groped for the little Bible that lay near the reading lamp, and propping the picture up so that it faced her, she took the Bible and from out of it she took a letter, postmarked France. With trembling fingers she took the letter out of the envelope and re-read the contents: France, April 16, 1918. To the Dearest Mother: Please don't worry because this letter comes from a hospital, for really I am sure I am not badly hurt, as I have no pain at all. We went "over the top" two days ago and I got along very well, until on the second day a piece of shrapnel got me in the left shoulder. I like the hospital, for everything is clean and every-one kind. One of the head doctors used to be one of my profs. at college, and so I consider myself lucky. By the way, mother, I am sending you a piece of the wild forget-me-not that the nurse brought me. It was very nice of her to do it, for you know how I like flowers. She says that they grow near here wild like the dande-lions do at home. She just came in now and told me I must stop and so I will finish this letter later. W That was all, but as she carefully opened the second sheet, a piece of a dried flower fell into her lap. She picked it up and put it near the picture before she re-read the second letter. France, April 18, 1918. My Dear Madam: I hope this short note will bring a grain of comfort to you in your sorrow. Your son, madam, let me say, was one of the finest young Americans I have ever met. He was a student of mine while at college, but I hadn't seen him for a very long time until he was brought into my ward mortally wounded in the shoulder. He thought it was just a scratch because there was no pain, as we kept him under powerful drugs. He started a letter to you, but the =7 ~Nf- One hundred thirty 'iii tI;i ~_ ~ 2 i ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 131 ---------- KKLIPSUNNi. nurse had him stop before it was finished. Late that night as I was inspecting my patients I found him in a bad condition, but conscious. He said he wanted the ietter, for then for the first time he realized that his time was short. I suggested that he just sign his name,. but he said "No, always, 'with love.' " And that "W " at the end of his letter is all that he was able to do, for his strength gave out. He died shortly after, but he was conscious up to the end, telling me over and over again to write to you. His was a fine spirit. We'buried him in the little cemetery behind the hospital in the officers' plot. As it is customary here, a bunch of forget-me-nots was planted on the mound under the shadow of the little cross. cross. May I close by saying that your son was brave, courageous and noble and that the cause, for which he so gallantly fought and died, will surely be victorious with such men as your son fighting in its defense. Yours very sincerely, MAJOR B. S. BLACK. American Hospital No. 97, France. Slowly the little woman put the letters and the sprig back in the envelope, and picking up the much-worn Bible, she turned to the Twenty-third Psalm and as she read a look of harmony and of reliance filled her face, and when she put the letter and the picture in its place in the drawer she said softly as if to her-self, in a calm, sweet voice, " Thy will be done." Out in the garden the next morning the little blue forget-me- nots of the "W " turned their faces towards the rising sun, and all was peace. One hundred thirty-one ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 132 ---------- IKL IPSUN A Vision SECOND PRIZE POEM WILLIAM EDSON The countless daisies in the fields, Like stars that dot the skies at night, Had strewn the quiet meadow land With twinkling beams of light. And there upon a grassy slope I lay, and scanned the blue above, As if to see if earth or sky Had more of nature's love. So tranquil was the day that soon My eyes were closed in peaceful sleep, And then across my consciousness I felt a vision creep. I looked upon the throbbing world It seemed, and all men gaily went About their tasks as if at play, And all appeared content. But as I watched, the sky grew dull, And far away appeared a cloud Of sable hue and frightful mien, It seemed a ghastly shroud. It grew quite black and terrible, And coming swiftly nearer by, It seemed a mighty genie, who Decreed that men should die. I tried in vain to shriek, as one Will do in dreams, but then I saw That men on earth were not afraid, But merely filled with awe. The young man talked with deep concern, The old man gravely shook his head, And then from every walk of life, No matter where it led, Men mutely dropped their tasks in hand Nor pausing once to look behind, Strode quickly toward the gath'ring cloud Which threatened all mankind. One hundred thirty-two ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 133 ---------- SKL IPSUN N The monster hovered on the earth, And there was little time allowed, But hosts of men marched bravely forth And disappeared within the cloud. I saw that mothers' hearts were torn, And many anguished sweethearts cried, But then behold the cloud grew light, And on the other side I saw a host come marching out Beneath the fading, misty screen, And every man was clad alike In dullish yellow-green. The host of men came marching back. They laughed and joked as if at play, And yet the band seemed not so large As when it marched away. The men took up their tasks again, And all was as it was before - But suddenly the vision ceased. I tried to dream some more, But found that I was wide awake. The birds were singing sweetly still, And there was yet the hum of bees And babbling of the rill. I then arose upon my feet To brush away the grass and flow'rs That hung upon my coat. I felt As if I'd slept for hours. And then I paused, for I beheld I brushed a coat of yellow-green Just like the men had worn within The vision I had seen. But how this vision changed me thus, Or why it had been planned, Or what it meant, or its result I cannot understand. It surely must have been a dream. What else could it have been? But still, there lies that yellow suit Where I have laid it in. Perhaps, at some far distant time, When doubts are gone and spent, I'll better understand the thing, And what it all has meant.

Mrs. Morrison has had wide experience in lyceum work, and, consequently, knows just how to please her audiences. Her ease of manner, her method of presenting her readings and her selec-tion of subjects on the simple, every-day occurrences of life endear her to all. Every number she gave was enjoyed, but, per-haps, her audience will hold longest memories of " Mirandy Ann," " Under the Christmas Stars," " Old Glory," and last, her real-istic description of " The Old-Fashioned Parlor." CHARLES C. GORST The coming of the "bird man " was hailed with much joy. This was, indeed, one of the rare treats of the year. Mr. Gorst whistled the familiar songs of many of our outdoor friends. This marvelous singing was accompanied by enlarged pastel paintings, and a humorous, picturesque talk on the life and habits of the feathered songsters. His personal experience of birds as he has studied them in the depths of the forest, in meadows, and by sea, lent much to the evening's entertainment. He left with us a new and lasting enthusiasm for the beauty and usefulness of birds, and all went forth giving his slogan, "A bird in the bush is worth two in the hand." STRICKLAND W. GILLILAN Fortunate, indeed, was the Normal to have the privilege of hearing Mr. Gillilan, prominent writer in American magazines, and America's foremost humorist. True to his nature, he gave the spirit of optimism, for the joy and enthusiasm he aroused in his audience in the space of one hour, was really wonderful. Mr. Gillilan left with his hearers a message of cheer, and he pointed out the duty to mankind in performing services of kind-ness and happiness, especially during these days of stress and responsibility. DR. H. H. POWERS Recognized as a nation- wide authority on questions, national and international, because of his extensive study and experience abroad, Dr. H. H. Powers, of Newton, Mass., was able to give some unusually instructive and timely lectures pertaining to the problems confronting the Peace Conference. His five addresses covered these topics: " Punishment and Reparation; How Can Germany Repair the Wrong She Has Done? " "National Resources; the Economic Basis of Nationhood," "The New Nations," " The New Wards," " The League of Nations and Its Sponsors." ---7-.- One hundred forty-one ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 142 ---------- K LPSUNR 4 DR. A. E. WINSHIP It was a pleasure to hear, April 10th, the editor of " The New England Journal of Education," Dr. A. E. Winship, who has, also, won fame as a speaker. His interesting and educational address on "Progress" is deserving of merit. He says that in order to keep pace with the times, when we are moving along at the speed of a century a year, it is imperative to realize the vitality and value of new things. These new things have been brought about chiefly through the war. Perhaps the greatest lessons the war has taught are harmony and co-operation - the building of a true (lemocracy based on the unit of community interests. PRINCESS CATHARINE RADZIWILL Princess Radziwill, a princess of Russian birth, who is con-nected with many of the royal houses of Europe, gave an address on the subject of " Russia; Wherein Lies Her Hope for the Future." Her plea was for her country which has suffered so much at the hands of Germans and spies. She emphasized the immediate need of help, if her country is to be saved. For many years Princess Radziwill has had experience in government affairs in Russia. During her earlier years, she was present many times at the court of Berlin. Consequently, she was well able to speak with authority on her subject. LEOPOLD GODOWSKY Of all the musical programs which the people of Bellingham have had an opportunity to attend, perhaps there is none which compares with the Godowsky concert. On the evening of April 22, the entire school listened with intense interest to this great master of music, who played the piano with wonderful interpre- tation of his selections and with the greatest of ease and grace. Mr. Godowsky is world-faned as a pianist. He has appeared in all great centers of music both in Europe and America, gaining such fame and prominence as has not been surpassed since the time of Liszt. He is, also, a composer of music, and has made important additions to piano music. The Chopin " Sonata " will especially be remembered, for he proved himself capable of producing the effects of that beau-tiful composition most impressively. MAUD POWELL Although not on our lecture course, many of us availed our-selves of the opportunity to hear the noted American violinist, Maud Powell. Her numbers were appreciated highly. We shall never forget those delightful selections, " To Marguerite," " May Night," and her tunes of old folk- songs. She played her program with the sympathetic understanding and faultless technique of a great artist, and made each number of her concert a delightful memory to be treasured in the hearts of those who heard her. This year we have, also, been favored with other interesting musical numbers. The Boston Opera Company, the Ionian Serenaders, the Camp Lewis Military Quartette, and the Pullman Glee Club gave us most enjoyable musical programs.

However, after the armistice was signed, a number of husky lads dropped back into school. Nothing daunted by the lack of a school team, they got together and " picked up " a few games with outside teams. Notwithstanding the fact that the team was not really representative of the Normal and that little practice was held, a fine record was made. Those who played are: Bjorlie, Countryman, Broadbent, Barnett, Sherman, Quinn, Whittaker. The following is a record of the games: FAIRHAVEN HIGH 36 - B. S. N. S. 24 On February 11, the boys played a - practice game with the Fairhaven High School team. The Normalites were not in good shape at that time and suffered defeat to the tune of 36-24. LYNDEN SECOND TEAM 24 - B. S. N. S. 26 On February 13, the team journeyed out to Lynden and played a preliminary game to the Lynden-Friday Harbor game. In this game the team showed itself to be somewhat out of con-dition. The first half ended with the score of 20 to 10 in favor of the Normal, but they were unable to keep the pace and as a con-sequence Lynden gained in the second half. However, the Normal team managed to keep the lead and " brought home the bacon." FRIDAY HARBOR 11 - B. S. N. S. 61 While at Lynden, the team from Friday Harbor challenged the Normal, and on February 20 our boys took the trip to Friday Harbor. This game was a regular " walk-away" for the Normal. Every man in the team procured more than his regular allotment of baskets, but it remained for " Chuck " Countryman to top the list with thirteen baskets for a total of twenty-six points. AVON 10 - B. S. N. S. 30 Our third game was played with the Avon team. This team was a combination of Avon and Mount Vernon players, but they were no match for the Normal players, who sent them down to defeat to the tune of 30 to 10. The game was a roughly fought contest, but the Avon guards were unable to prevent Bjorlie and Countryman from cinching five and six baskets, respectively, while the Normal guards kept Avon down to the small number of ten points. One hundred forty-four ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 145 ---------- SKKLIPSUN-LYNDEN 25 - B. S. N. S. 21 March 10 saw the Normal team humbled by the Lynden second team. Over-confidence and the lack of practice were the main factors in the calamity. During the first half the Lynden boys ran rampant over the Normalites, but in the second half the Normal team gained steadily and a few more minutes playing would undoubtedly have reversed the score. LYNDEN 9 - B. S. N. S. 29 The Normal team regained its laurels on March 14 in defeat-ing the Lynden aggregation by the score of 29 to 9. The game was fiercely fought, but the Normalites were out to avenge their previous defeat. Their opponents were bewildered by the Normal team-work, finally succumbing to the aforesaid score. CLASS GAMES Junior players -- Countryman, Marshall, Quinn, Sherman, Warrick, Wolters. Senior players - Alm, Barnett, Bjorlie, Broadbent, Button, Neiswender, Sorensen, Whittaker. The Junior boys won the basketball championship of the school by taking four out of the seven games played. The Seniors opened up strong on January 2 and defeated the Juniors in a practice game 21 to 1. January 31 saw the first game of the series. It was a bitterly fought contest and ended 23 to 20 in favor of the Seniors. After these two victories the Seniors became somewhat over-confident and took a beating on Febiuary 7 by the narrow margin of 25 to 24. On February 18, the Seniors came back and defeated the Juniors 29 to 23. The games now stood 2 to 1 in favor of the Seniors. Things began to warm up, and on the following night the Juniors evened up the series by defeating the Seniors 36 to 21. This game saw Countryman hit his stride from which he was never headed throughout the season. The last two games and the championship went to the Juniors. The scores were 23 to 20 and 23 to 17.

A hard fight the Juniors put up but it was in vain! The first game of the Kline Cup series was played on the afternoon of February 7, 1919. Rooters from both classes were lined up ready to cheer their respective teams to victory. By the end of the first half the Seniors were leading by a score of 8 to 2. The second half saw the Juniors open up with vim, but the Junior forwards were unable to penetrate the Senior defense, while the Senior forwards continued to snare baskets. The final score was 21 to 7. February 18, 1919, saw the girls take the floor to play off the second game of the series. The Juniors were determined to reverse the first score and for the first few minutes of play it seemed as though they were going to accomplish their purpose. But toward the last of the first half the Senior girls took a little spurt and ended the first half with a lead of eight points. The second half was even more bitterly fought than the first. The guards on both teams played with every ounce that was in them. The Seniors were held to three baskets, while the Juniors were only able to ring two. The final score was 20 to 10, in favor of the Seniors. This game determined the winners of the series but, in order that those girls who had turned out regularly might have a chance to earn their letters, a third game was played. The Juniors put up a hard scrap, but the Seniors were again victorious. LETTER GIRLS Seniors -- Newell Rochefort Hamilton Wiel Campbell Forward Forward . . . Center. Side-center . . Guard .

Because of the small num-ber of boys on the team, the turnout was not very large, but with such players as Smith, Reardon and Brewer, who have played for the Normal in past years, there was great hope for a success-ful season. Their first game with Mount Vernon realized this hope, for the score was 3 to 0 in the Normal's favor. Although the game came on Friday and thus no rooters could go from Bellingham, the home team came out splendidly. Brewer held the Mount Vernon players to one hit.

It was not until all returns were in that one could form an opinion as to whether Leo Brewer or Vernon Broad-bent would be elected. The personalities of the two men have won many friends throughout the state. It is rumored that the physical stature of Mr. Brewer probably decided the election, as public opinion has conceived the impres-sion that the office requires a tall gentleman in order to dominate over the teach-ers serving under him. Miss Nita Murphy is to serve as assistant state superintendent. Other items of interest in connection with the election are: (1) The re-election of Hlarry Sorenson as King County Sheriff; (2) elec- tion of State Auditor, Ar-villa Jackel.

After leaving the home of the above citizens, th i s mysterious man seriously frightened and thus endan- gered the lives of two bach-elors, living alone. Bot hI gentlemen, Arthur Button and Ernest Kobelt, are at St. Luke's Hospital under the efficient care of D)r. H. C. Mathes and nurse, Mabel I)umas. Both patients are improving.

Baker towering in the background. The school is in its twenty-first year of splendid achievement, and has graduated two thousand six hundred people. These twenty-six hundred graduates represent forty-nine different occupations. This manifests the various vocations for which one may prepare at the Normal. The greatest number, or one thousand four hundred sixty-two, are engaged in some form of pedagogical work, four hundred forty-eight are housewives, seventy-six are doing advanced study at colleges and universities, and fifty-nine are clerical workers. The number engaged in each of the other occupations range from one to seven. The standards of teaching have been raised each year. From the beginning, those graduating from the eighth grade were admitted. So the requirement remained for ten years when it became necessary for one to complete one year of high school before entering. The following year, two years of high school training were required, and in 1917, one had to be a graduate of high school before entering. Now the qualifications are the same as those for college entrance. One-year, two-year and three-year courses are now offered, and this year a four-year basis for the Normal was authorized. Also a one-year course is offered to university graduates. The courses of study have been expanded. New features have been Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 9 ---------- added in the various departments. The Federal Government has granted six thousand dollars to the Department of Hygiene. This department will be co-ordinated with the Department of Biological Science. With the co-operation of the head of this department with the School Nurse and the Physical Education, instructors and teachers will be better trained to carry on general work in personal and community hygiene. The enlarged manual training building provides separate rooms for elementary woodwork, advanced woodwork, forge work, mechanical draw-ing, printing, and smaller rooms for repairing and finishing work. A great development has taken place in the Extension Department in the past two years, and results of this work are becoming more and more pronounced. This course is given to those who wish to do part of their Normal work while teaching, and receive credits for their work, graduates who wish to keep in touch with the educational movements of the day, graduates of other institutions who wish to take some Normal work, and teachers and others desiring general culture. Sixteen of our teachers are engaged in this field, and twenty-two subjects are taught. These instructors sometimes hold community meetings where people may get in closer touch with one another, or where they may learn from speakers sent out from this school. By special arrangement, books may be secured from the Normal Library by those taking correspondence work. The Student Loan Fund has proved instrumental to many in securing their education. Students may borrow from this fund to complete an entire course if they so desire. The fund increased from $1,800 to $12,000 in two years through the assistance of 'Mr. Charles Allen, of Seattle. As the demand for more and better teachers is in evidence, so this school has and ever will meet that situation, by itself becoming bigger and better each year.

Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS SUMMARY At this closing time of the year, when our sojourn as Juniors is almost over, it seems rather difficult to summarize the many activities of our class. As we look back over the path we have trod, we think with sorrow that our Junior days will be no more. Many jolly mixers, where the spirit of good-fellowship held sway, helped us in becoming acquainted, and in binding us together in unvidided loyalty to the Class of 1921. The art of the Juniors to enjoy a good time is unsurpassed and the memory of these jollifications will be with us always. Clubs and societies rejoiced to find in our midst such talent and wisdom. Without us their former reputations could never have been upheld. In athletics we have shown our capability and willingness to play the game, as well as to give the " peppy" support that means so much to every team. Our girls showed their efficiency by their victory over the mighty Seniors in the Kline Cup series. The majority of the members of the school teams, needless to say, were chosen from the Class of 1921. Dramatics also held a high place among us. Our class play, "The Scarecrow," will long be remembered by those who saw it. The beauty of the play and the talent of the players made that finished production one of our most treasured memories. The success of the year is due to a very large extent to the unceasing work, and true interest of our class advisors, and to them we are deeply grateful. " In closing, "when distance lends enchantment to the view," and fond memory brings to our minds the many helpful and joyful things that happened during our dear Junior days, may we show by our deeds and lives our appreciation for all that we have gained, and, as Tiny Tim said, "God bless us everyone!" - BERNICE DAY. Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 28 ---------- FRAYER 'p4 ~A gt; ) VI, V. 0le runior's 3arIell We needs must ponder ere we journey forth With joyous hopes, each on his separate way, A little on those things we leave behind, Which came to mean so much in our brief stay. The new-made friends from whom we now must part, The hills we climbed, the vales we wandered through Those things which helped enrich and shape our lives Are ours eternally, though we must bid old scenes adieu. Twenty-eight TEFPARATIOU PLIIMOEE ), 13 ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 29 ---------- In the early days of September a crowd of expectant looking persons assembled from the four corners of the earth, waited their turn patiently in Professor Bever's office. Some felt more at home than others, as they were Juniors the year before, others having done some work in other insti-tutions, and still others, in fact the majority, were returning after several years of experience in the teaching profession. This is the secret of the patience shown as they waited their turn in the line, standing first upon one foot and then upon the other. The following officers were elected for the first quarter: Pearl Nesson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . President Helen Robertsen .. . .. ...... . Vice-President Ethel Burkland .. ............. . Secretary Mary Lee.. . ............. . Treasurer SECOND QUARTER OFFICERS Stella Lowry ....... ......... . President Regina Frank . ..... ..... Vice-President Mildred Murry ............ . .

Secretary Agnes Pettigrew . . . ... .... .. . Treasurer The opening days of school were indeed busy ones and several social functions did much toward making the students happy. The first Senior mixer was enjoyed during the last days of October. Did we have a good time! Anyone who made their entrance into the gymnasium by sliding down the " chutes " and joined in all the contests and games with zest will say we spent an enjoyable evening. The Senior Class did their part toward bidding their brothers and sisters, the November and March graduates, a fond adieu. A delightful banquet was given in honor of the March graduates at the Pheasant Tea Room and Dr. Nash most delightfully entertained them as well. The seventeenth of April was the date of the famous Chuckanut Marathon in which a large per cent of the school participated. Competi-tion was strong between the classes for the winning of the prize, the Herald cup, but the spirit in which the students responded was whole-hearted and joyous. Among the whirl of events that occupied our last days together was the " Senior Sneak." Yes, it was a real sneak! All cares were put aside. Such worries that especially appear during the " last days " were absolutely forgotten. Eats were plenty, spirits were high, studies were forgotten. You know the rest! We sincerely appreciate the hearty co-operation of our class advisors, Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller, and now I suppose we must bid our dear B. S. N. S. a long farewell. Although it is farewell, still memory will always bring us back to her. - ANAIDE MAE MYERS.

The store has been in existence since 1908 and, until four years ago, was operated by student help. Then Mr. C. C. Baughman, a former student of this school, took full charge and under his capable and efficient manage-ment its resources have steadily increased until now its capital outlay is practically four times what it was at the time he assumed the management. During the past year Miss Ruth Sanford, a graduate of Whatcom High School, of this city, has ably served as the store assistant, and her pleasant manner and charming personality have won her the friendship of all the students. The " Co-op " aims not only to supply students with the proper equip-ment for school and recreative life at moderate cost, but it stands for efficiency in its management, prompt service and courtesy to its patrons.

It did not at that time bear the name under which it is now published, "The Weekly Messenger." In 1903 the size of the paper was slightly increased, and it was then published monthly and remained a monthly publication until 1916 when it became a weekly publication, although its size had again been increased both in size of sheet and in number of pages. The paper was very successful and has continued since that time as " The Weekly Messenger." During the present school year the paper has been published in the regular sized eight-page form with the exception of a few issues during the second quarter when it was temporarily reduced to meet the extra expense incurred by the publication of a very beautiful magazine issued at the Christmas season giving a history of the institution and appropriate cuts of the buildings and grounds and a handsome full-page photograph of the president of the school to whom the special issue was dedicated. The Weekly Messenger is published by the Students' Association of the Bellingham State Normal School. A business manager is appointed by the Board of Control at the beginning of each year, and is paid a salary. The editor is appointed quarterly through the advice and recommendation of the censor of the paper and the endorsement of the Board of Control. He receives credit in English. A faculty advisor is appointed by the president of the school and does the work of censorship of the contributed material as well as the general makeup of the paper. Training in journalism is required for eligibility to the office of editor or staff-membership.

During the past year our Normal School has made a very satisfactory record in that line; although one branch of sports did not "function" in our school this year. The second quarter of school found abundant material for a foot-ball squad worthy of representing the average college. However, it was the second quarter instead of the first when this material could have been used. In 1916, Coach Carver was given credit for turning out the strongest non-conference football team in the West. With the return of many of the men now in school, together with the coming of others who are suit-able, it is hoped that he may be able next fall not only to turn out a team able to make a good showing with the non-conference teams, but also that his team can be scheduled with conference representatives.

Although we have in- dulged in only a few games, credit is due to Miss Moffat and Mr. Carver for the splendid spirit of co- operation and sportsmanship which has been developed. The girls who have taken an active part in athletics have received the joy that comes from one of the best activities of school life. Every girl should share the opportunity offered them. CARVER p MOFFAT Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 53 ---------- BASKETBALL FAIRHAVEN H. S. 8 - NORMAL 26 The basketball season opened after two weeks of practice in our " gymette " with a game with Fairhaven High School. The game was very greatly enjoyed by the spectators, for seldom does one see a game in which both teams pass and shoot so wildly. The game demonstrated to us a great need of team work and basket shooting. BLAINE H. S. 14 - NORMAL 26 MOUNT VERNON 8 - NORMAL 39 During the Christmas holidays the team assembled several times for practice; they also played two games during that time. The first was a contest with Blaine High School at Blaine and was a victory for the Normal. The second game was played with the Mount Vernon American Legion at Mount Vernon. Here the first signs of hope for a basketball team were raised, as great improvement was shown, both in passing and in basket shooting. WHATCOM 14 - NORMAL 15 We have no alibi for not running up a larger score on the loopers from Whatcom. A failure " to get started " seems the only excuse, although the game was a spirited game and was played before a large crowd. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 26 - NORMAL 24 The fast Canadian group looped two free throws too many. They won a fair game and proved themselves true sportsmen. WHATCOM H. S. 12- NORMAL 18 In the second game played with Whatcom the Normal team was beaten according to soothsayers and prophets even before the game was staged or the first whistle blown. The large gym was a handicap to our men, after their practice on the smaller floor on the hill. However, we secured eight field goals to Whatcom's two and the final score stood in favor of the Normal. C. P. S. 8 - NORMAL 32 The quintet from Tacoma came up to play us in our own gym, but we failed " to get properly wound up." Our visitors demonstrated very good football tactics but they failed to loop the ball a single time during the entire game. They did manage to make eight out of seventeen free throws. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 25 - NORMAL 15 Our little trip to the Canadian metropolis proved conclusively that a group playing together for several years has a very great advantage over the " one-year team." The Ex-Normal team again defeated us by out-playing and out-shooting us. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE 24 - NORMAL 33 St. Martin's College, of Lacy, spent a very enjoyable evening with us, leaving with the little end of the score. We found these fellows clean sports, and feel it a pleasure to have relations with them. Fifty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [54] ---------- BARTRUFF (CAPT.), G. YORKSTOW, F. JENKINs, F.

However, our team fought well and gave their opponents a hard battle. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE 27 - NORMAL 40 At our return game with St. Martin's at Lacy we again won by a com-fortable margin. STARTUP 23 - NORMAL 36 We started on our east-of-the-mountains trip, but the " flu " prevented our going farther than Startup where we played and won the last game of the season.

Our defeat was due mostly to wild pitching and wilder base throwing. MOUNT VERNON 9- NORMAL 7 Mount Vernon came up here two weeks later only to defeat us in the last inning. The Blue and White had gradually forged ahead until the eighth inning which found us two scores to the good. But our opponents, rallying, scored four times in the ninth and secured the victory. FAIRHAVEN 0 -NORMAL 8 The game with Fairhaven High School was encouraging, as well as providing excellent practice for the game with Whatcom which followed. WHATCOM 6- NORMAL 10 Again we found these prophets of sports rather dazed and uncertain when we defeated Whatcom High School. The team from the " School on the hill " started out rather raggedly in the first two innings and the boys and girls from Whatcom were delirious. But Coach Carver's men caught the spirit of the old fight and kept climbing until the close of the game.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Basketball, the most important and popular of girls' athletics, is inspir-ing much pep and enthusiasm in the basketball lovers. Both Juniors and Seniors hoped to receive the Kline Cup, but the Juniors were the pronounced all-star champions. Every year the two classes compete for the Kline Cup. PHILOS 33 -- RURAL LIFE 5 The Philos and Rural Life played a preliminary game before the clash of our boys with Whatcom. The game was a fast exhibition of girls' basket-ball. The fast and skillful guarding of Regina Frank and Hilda Woodburn prevented the Rural Life forwards from building up a high score. Only one field basket was secured by the Rural Life forwards, the other three points being made on free throws. PHILOS RURAL LIFE Agee ........ F........ Wilstead Xitco. ........ .........

NORMAL 18 - WHATCOM 16 On January 23, under Miss Moffat's coaching, our fast sextette defeated the hitherto supposedly invincible Whatcom girls' team in a closely con-tested game. Whatcom failed to come up to the Normal score during the first half, but during the second half they tied the score by securing a free throw, and two more field baskets made things seem pretty dark for the Normal team. The Normal team set to work in grim earnest and soon had the score in their favor and so it remained until the end of playing time. The lineup: Forwards, Agee, Wilstead, Evans; centers, Baker, Born-stein; guards, Frank, Stromford. JUNIORS 32- SENIORS 9 On Wednesday afternoon, February 11, occurred the first Junior- Senior game. The Juniors outranked their opponents from the start. The Seniors worked hard and played a clean game. JUNIORS SENIORS Agee . ...... . .......... Wilstead Bromley, Hartley ..... F. ..... . .

The Philo-Sopher was published first in October, 1919, to us falling the honor of being its editor. It immediately became the journal of the Philos and has fulfilled the duty of unifying the society. Who could forget the " Ode Initiatione " by Miss Whittier or the Forecast Number, edited by Miss Sutherland? The Junior coupe at the first of the year placed Roswell Oliver in the president's chair and two other of that class in offices. Miss Estella Burn-side, vice-president of the Student's Association and chairman of the Klip-sun Committee, was our next president. Elwyn Bugge, editor of the Klipsun, succeeded her in the third quarter. sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 63 ---------- The Philos boast of two Si's - " Sci " Philippi and " Psy " Kolstad. The Philo initiation proved a source of joy to the older members but of misery and fright to the " noveaux Philo." Spaghetti was the characteristic dish on the menu. Look into the records of responsible positions of the school and into the literary and other rewards. The Abou Ben Adhems' names are there. The Philos, as a society, were ten years of age on the twenty-second day of November. Then they celebrated in the true old Philo way at the home of Professor Philippi, with program, balloon races, birthday cake 'n everything. Dr. Nash, our oldest Philo, was present and gave us some advice as club members. The pinnacle of enjoyment was reached when we spent our annual week end at Mr. Kolstad's cottage by Lake Whatcom. The experience was varied, from sleeping in bath tubs and row boats to playing baseball on Sunday. Verily, we will go again, if invited. The annual banquet was held at the Leopold on April 10th. There our desires, physical and intellectual, were amply fulfilled, to the accompani-ment of music, readings and most witty toasts. That the Philos are appreciative of music was proved when we were entertained by the Philomonic Orchestra, which played from the works of Ivan Offulitch, the great Russian composer. When the orchestra had fin-ished we applauded loudly. Although the boys were defeated in basketball, the Philo girls obtained revenge by an unmentionable score. Santa Claus visited us three days before Christmas and applied for admission into the society. What does the word " Philomathean " mean? As Mr. Philippi explains, it may mean either " Lovers of Learning " or " Learners of Loving," perhaps. "That's why, that's why, a Philo feels that way. For once a Philo, always a Philo, forever and a day." Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 64 ---------- 0l# Alktiatal (tub Yes, we are the Alkisiah Club, Whom Fortune bestowed with a smile Upon the Bellingham Normal School, There to reign for a long, long while. - GLADYS JENSEN. We are nearing the close of our fourteenth year. With each successive year we have added new friends and new ideals. The Alkisiah Club was formed in 1906 under the sponsorship of Miss Baker, who has continued in that capacity ever since. We hold the distinction of being the oldest club in the school and also of belonging to the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Throughout the years we have striven to keep always before us the ideals and the work of this great organization. Our first meeting this year was held at the home of Miss Baker, where although few in number we planned the work for the first quarter. One of the first social events of the year was the children's Hallowe'en party at Miss Baker's. Here all of the members came in pinafore and pgi-tail, to frolic before the fireplace and listen to stories. The success of a party, however, is always determined by the refreshments, so just mentioning pumpkin pie and stick candy will explain why everyone pro-claimed it " the nicest party " she had ever attended. Sixty-four p- pa~idk;3~j~i~~PY8~~S2- ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 65 ---------- The next event of importance was the initiation of new members. After finding their way from the third floor to the gymna,ium blindfolded, they were put through various stunts, even to riding the " goat." On February 14th, according to custom, we met at the Hotel Leopold for our annual banquet. There we were delighted to meet several of our former friends and clubmates. Now nineteen-twenty is a year That holds for girls a ray of cheer. So accordingly the Alkisiahs gave the first leap year party. Varying our custom of a Christmas bulb sale, we decided to postpone it until Easter time. Just before Easter about fifty blossoming bulbs were sold, from which we derived the double benefit of learning something of bulb culture as well as the financial aid. Hikes and outings comprised the social program for the spring months, our annual house party at Miss Baker's cottage on Lummi Island being the crowning event. Throughout the year we have had reports from the " Woman Citizen " in our meetings; in this way keeping in touch with the great work of the Federation. Last fall we received an inspiring report from the Federa-tion convention held in Centralia, Washington, to which Avis Dodge was our representative. We hope that again this year we may be represented. OFFICERS FIRST SEMESTER Muriel Lee ... ... .......... President Oza Myers . .. .... .. . . . . . Vice-President Lola Shepherd .... . . . . . . . .

Do you realize that it is just ten years since we were at Normal together? Well, you know my niece was just packing her trunk and getting ready to leave - yes, she is going to Bellingham, too. She leaves tomorrow. I was just telling her about the different clubs and organizations. Of course since I've told her about ours, the Ohiyesa, she says she wouldn't belong to any other. " Do you remember our year together - 1920, wasn't it? Yes, indeed - and that taffy pull, the first meeting of the year, wasn't it? Oh yes, and the initiation. I can just feel the pain I had in my joints now when I think of it. Oh, and can't you just see those old members doing the 'lame duck ' down the hall after they had initiated us? We certainly surprised them when we turned the tables. " I surely do remember our Thanksgiving party at the Bever House, the Christmas party at Jenkins Apartments.

MY DEAR DOROTHY: As I sit at my desk- the children gone for the day - memories of last year's student life flash before me. Just one year ago today, I remember, the Thespians were so busy getting out posters for the four plays, " Weeping Wives," " Dust of the Road," " Open Gates " and " The Bishop's Candlesticks." Mr. Hoppe was so wonderfully patient with us and without him our success would have been impossible. How I wish you could drop in on us some evening and see our dear little birds' nest of a cottage. We're very careful to see that there is enough fuel in for the evening, curtains are drawn after sunset, and never answer the door after dark. Not afraid to stay alone or afraid in the dark--you understand--but we are of a too convivial nature to enjoy the songs of the night birds and tree toads. Both of us are strong believers in dreams - and such horrid ones are generally the result. O, that makes me think of the play " Unsuppressed Desires " we gave last year. Mae Andersen, Will Beardsley and Loraine Winters were the cast, were they not? Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 69 ---------- Glancing to the back of the room, my eyes fall on some Pilgrim posters the children made in November. They remind me of the dainty little en-tertainment the November graduates presented us with. What a picturesque little group - every member in the Puritan costumes, sitting very prim, en-joying the Swedish reading, " Courtship of Miles Standish " by Pearl Nesson, and the quaint little songs by the quartette. Then they led us to the cafeteria to that real Thanksgiving dinner - as near like the original as could have been arranged. Remember the night we clashed victoriously with the Philos in debate? But after that animated little farce starring Helen Robertson, Tromp and Roe, we were friends all over again. Helen just came and wants me to go home so I will finish " The Thespian Biography " this evening. 8 P. M., SAME DAY This is my evening to keep the old fireplace glowing. Between firing-up times perhaps I can talk to you. Did the Normal have a Country Fair this year? Wasn't our booth pretty last year? Those days we spent making wisteria and cherry blossoms-- makes me tired yet. Such a long debate we participated in over a booth and finally decided on a Japanese tea garden. The unique costumed little maidens toddling here and there serving the kneeling guests to tea; tinkling Japanese music, and the heavy odor of incense added to its bizarre-like atmosphere. Will you ever forget the night we entertained the two basketball teams the night we played the C. P. S.? How dexteriously Archie Erickson ex-changed Dr. Nash's and Sam Carver's dish of jello when it was discovered that Gretchen had accidentally added salt to some of the whipped cream in place of sugar. Our worries were few compared to our good times and accomplish-ments. It is growing late and our fuel is low, so I must bring these dreams to a close. I think it's all right to dream if we don't make dreams our master, don't you? Always yours, - BEVERLY P. S. - Give all Thespians my best greetings. Once a Thespian, always a Thespian.

Where in the wide world have you been keeping yourself this past year? How is Harold and the baby? Yes, I graduated last year, too. I couldn't get a man, so I got a teacher's diploma. " Things have been in such a whirl lately. I have been on the go con- stantly. But the most weird thing of all happened last Saturday night when a bunch of us girls went over to that old woman who tells fortunes by crystal gazing. You remember her, don't you? She lives out near Elizabeth Park. Well, anyhow she picked out Julia, Ethol and me and then she just let out a regular blizzard. Seventy ~E~ ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 71 ---------- She began by saying that we all had a great deal in common. She said that she saw a many-colored band around us. Of course none of us believes it, but it did make us think of our club days. She sort of waved her hands in the air and made me, at least, think that she was painting a picture. This queer woman then said in her sepulchral voice, 'Spirits of you who sit in this circle, I see in the past that you have worked out in black and white that which will bring to you fame and admiration. You have taken pure carbon and upon white parchment you have made much beauty of line. You have each worked out your own life's thoroughfare. One shall travel on country roads, another shall choose the smooth lake, while another shall journey forth upon a wild sea of dark surroundings.' " I didn't tell her, Amy, but you know those charcoal sketches that we made in Art Club last year, each represented something that she men-tioned. I don't believe that she knew what she was talking about, but isn't it queer? " Then she went on to say that beauty was an expression of the spirit. Ours had proved itself by delighting an audience of country folks, prize babies and even the renowned Jesse James at a country fair. That must have been the one the school gave for the Klipsun fund. You remember how we worked for hours at a time making hearts, cupids, baskets and everything else. " Yes, Amy, and that's what capped the climax! She told about the movie that we attended, and then she told how Helen had gone east of the mountains and had married that good looking man of hers, even though she had been offered the position of art instructor under Miss Druse. " Now, I really don't see how that woman knew so much and I really don't believe a word of it, it is so uncanny, but - ah, there's your car now! Do give my love to your mother. Good-bye!

Miss Crawford and Miss Woodard have been the sponsors for the last two years, and the club has prospered. There are thirty member now enrolled. During the winter the program consisted of studies of various nations. The people, their language and costumes, their literature and music were discussed. In addition there was a study of astronomy. Several charts were made of the most important constellations and the girls spent some Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 73 ---------- very interesting evenings " star-gazing." They studied the position of the stars and learned the legends connected with the names of the stars. The club enjoyed a Christmas party just before the vacation. A large number were present and took part in the merry-making. Several new members were initiated. Dainty refreshments concluded the party. Every-one agreed that there was not a dull moment during the affair. On February 19 the club held a Colonial party. George and Martha Washington, impersonated by Miss Sears and Miss Peronteau, received the guests. Nathaniel Green, Lafayette, Stark, Benjamin Franklin and many other famous Revolutionary gentlemen attended, each with his wife. Old time games and dances occupied the evening. Refreshments, in which cherries predominated, were served in the cafeteria. Just before Arbor Day the girls hiked to Flat Rock. They toasted marshmallows and practiced songs and yells until darkness forced them to take the home trail. Aletheia spent an evening at Dead Man's Point. There around the fire the girls told Indian legends and discussed Indian music. Although marsh-mallows were never an article of Indian diet, the girls did not fail io appreciate them. At the following meeting the girls played a number of Indian records on the Victrola. On Arbor Day the Aletheian colors were conspicuous. The grey and rose streamers floated in the air, carried by white clad girls. In addition to the rose bush already flourishing, the girls planted an ivy vine on the western side of the Training School. The little plant seemed to imbibe the spirit of the songs and yells of that day, for it is growing vigorously. The year has been a fine one for the club, unsurpassed by any in the past. The future seems bright with promises of success for Aletheia.

Late flowers bloomed in the garden and an air of peace and quiet seemed to pervade the place. A recitation was in progress and the other children were so busily engaged at their desks that it was possible for me to enter unnoticed and remain an undiscovered but greatly interested visitor. This simple but pleasant school room was a delightful place in which to linger. It was an industrious and happy school, made so by a teacher with the true rural spirit, who after dismissing her school gave me a most cordial welcome, expressing regret that she had not found me out sooner. Her eyes lighted with joy when I mentioned B. S. N. S. " Oh, you are an old Bellingham student! Then of course you know Mr. Heckmann and Mr. Coughlin, our Rural Life Club sponsors. I am very much indebted to them for the ideas which you have approved so highly in my work this afternoon. We have a very active P.-T. A. Its members have been no end of help to me, and it is the ideal P.-T. A. which Mr. Heckmann so enthusiastically advocated." Then in a reminiscent mood I told her of some of the good times I had with the Rural Lifers back in 1920: "At a Valentine party Mr. Coughlin told us of a vision he had of an ideal community. I have not seen all of your community, but if it corresponds to your school his dream is realized." She modestly acknowledged my praise by saying, "A true product of the rural course of dear old B. S. N. S. could not do less, but infinitely more." We chatted for some time, recalling many delightful experiences in the Rural Life Club. I related the events of our first meeting at Whatcom Falls: the " ripping" game of baseball, the appetizing eats, the cheerful chat of our sponsors and last but not least the toasting of marshmallows over a big bonfire while we roused the timid woodfolk with our hearty singing. " You enjoyed the Rural Life conferences?" I continued, " So did I. I think the Rural Lifers appreciated the situation presented by Mrs. Preston more keenly than others because our hearts were in it. Vividly she re-called to mind various sojourns in the country schools and the needs which existed then as they do now - needs of community centers and more intelli-gent living upon the farm. After her address we gathered in the big gym and romped hilariously like little children." Reluctantly I bade the little teacher farewell and went on my way rejoicing at her success and hoping the other Rural Lifers were duplicating her spirit and as successfully realizing the hopes of their Alma Mater. - ETHEL MCCLELLAN Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [76] ---------- 0 0 cu ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 77 ---------- Gloyral IGlub OFFICERS FIRST QUARTER Pearl Ingalls ................

Reporter There is no part or group in the Student Body of Bellingham State Normal School so small, so remote or far removed from the activities of the school but what has come in contact with the Choral Club. This club is the melting pot of all the other social and literary organizations of the school. Students have long recognized the potential value of the club, as is proved by our list of seventy active members. The club is one of the oldest in school. It was started about 1904 by a few lovers of music, for the sole purpose of enjoying an hour of community singing. It has now become a regular part of the school program, meeting at the 1 o'clock hour every Tuesday. Since music (as one author states) is one of the four fundamental elements of life -the purpose of the club is to learn to appreciate and reproduce the better type of music suited to a girls' chorus in any com-munity. The early efforts of the club this year resulted in rendering several selections for the student assembly. The latter part of the year was spent in preparing an operetta, " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," which was given in April. This proved to be the debut of our most talented members. Sometimes our individual precepts have been rather indefinite, our interest has sometimes shifted to other scenes. But through the persistent labors of our director, Mrs. Thatcher, we have in the end reached our goal. But as a whole, our climb has been so interesting that few members have dropped out prematurely. But this club is not all work. We have enjoyed many social evenings and look forward to many more next year. Wise is she who joins. - GRACE G. GREEN Seventy-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 78 ---------- . E. Mar (lub At the beginning of the first quarter (1919) eight had entered the newly organized course in physical education. These eight met one day in the gymnasium and decided informally to organize a club, planning our first good time-a hike to Chuckanut. This was followed by an early morning breakfast up Sunset Trail. Some weeks later a strictly gymnastic dinner was cooked and served in the Domestic Science rooms. It was Hallowe'en Eve as I remember, and the only goblins were those partaking in the delicious eats. Just before Christmas we were good as we could be and were rewarded with a mock track meet given by Misses Moffat and Williams. " Pep" and skill were not lacking. The elephant's miraculous stunts at the circus will long be remembered with jovial laughter. Another breakfast! This time at Initial Rock. Here as before the coffee deserves honorable mention. It was just like mother used to make before she learned how to cook. Hurrah! twelve more have realized the great value and need of physi-cal education and have entered the course with us. We hope to see many more take up the work with the realization that health is necessary for the attainment of every worthy ambition and achievement. May they go forth to teach this, the first work of the school, with whole-hearted interest and enthusiasm. Seventy-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 79 ---------- ~ee~x0 Few groups without regular officers or time of meeting have so per-sistently pursued their purpose as have the Young Housekeepers. The dean, Miss Woodard, has for the past few years interested herself in the welfare of the many girls who do their own housekeeping, and at intervals has called them together for discussion, consultation and mutual help. During this year there were not many gatherings, but reports of those few were scattered broadcast. Among the items in a certain news-paper were some quite unbelievable stories about what the Normal girls were doing to the H. C. of L. After musical selections, the main points of interest at the meetings were definite study of the food value in calories of our most common foods; balanced rations from the standpoint of the main elements in them; their cost, and labor-saving devices. Different houses tried to see which would excel in offering the best menu for a reasonable price. These gatherings were very profitable, and if the Young Housekeepers did not serve refreshments at their meetings they at least had much " food for thought." Seventy-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 80 ---------- ,uNsines 6irl E1ague The Business Girls' League, an organization of approximately seventy members, was founded by Miss Exean Woodard, Dean of Women, for the purpose of co-operating with the working girls and meeting the difficulties arising in their several lines of employment. The one big social feature of the year was the Business Girls' banquet, which was given in the Normal Cafeteria. The hall was artistically hung with clinging ivy and draperies in the league colors of blue and white. Miss Estelle Burnside acted as toastmistress, while the toasts were given by the following honorable members: Mrs. Samuel Gompers (Estelle Burn-side), Mrs. Herbert Hoover (Hilda M. Freeman) Julia Lathrop, Chief, (Oceola Thomason), Miss Woolworth (Grace Thatcher), Mrs. Ignace Pad-erewski (Donna Klinker), Miss Carnegie (Margaret Zurbrick), Mrs. John Mitchell (Sarah Mowad), Mrs. John L.

Such primitive amusements, however, were not the only means employed to make life agreeable. In the second and third quarters two mixers were held and were enjoyed by the entire club and the boys of the school. - FLORENCE BAKER, Reporter.

He will tell you to make a trip to Alaska so you may become an Alaska Club member, and will add that should you do so, you will never regret it. Not a happier group could be imagined than those who answered the call issued at the beginning of the second quarter. Upon being organized the club planned its first event. It might prop-erly be called a rush down to Camp Perfection. No one could make any of the members who were there admit that they did not have the time of their lives, though it is rumored that the bill of fare was limited to catsup, cookies, buns and pickles. The club's second affair of the quarter was a banquet and theater party. Everyone who was there declared that they had a good time. During the early part of the third quarter, the club enjoyed an outing at Mr. Kolstad's cabin on Lake Whatcom. Memories of ham and eggs still linger.

On Thursday afternoon, September 11, the first " get together " meet-ing was held in the Y. W. C. A. room. The first devotional meeting was held the following Sunday afternoon. Miss Sperry, who had returned from a year's vacation, brought the message. The social events of the year began with the annual Y. W. reception to the whole school Fri-day evening, September 26. Many acquaintances Ninety ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 91 ---------- DES MOINES DELEGAIES were formed which have ripened into friendships during the year. Punch and wafers were served. After the organization of the cabinet the work moved along rapidly. The chairman of the Bible Study Committee soon had classes organized in the largest rooming houses on the hill. About two hundred fifty have been enrolled in these classes. The Y. W. C. A. has been serving the school in a very practical way through their management of the cafeteria. Miss Brown, the Northwest Field Secretary, visited in early November to interest us in the great Student Volunteer Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, during the Christmas vacation. We are proud to think that our Student Body, Faculty and Alumni with the assistance of the Y. W. made it possible to send our full quota of six delegates to this convention. The annual Bible Institute was held January 15 to 18. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle, came again to be our speaker. This, as in other years, was a time of great inspiration. The Association has been especially blessed by the visits of mission-aries this year. First, Rev. and Mrs. M. C. Clark brought us a message of opportunity from India. Next, Rev. Stanley Soltau made us feel the heroism and the wonderful faith of the Koreans. Miss Cable and the Misses French brought us greetings from two of our own students, Lydia Berthold and Nina Gemmell, in China. These glimpses into the foreign field broadened our vision of Christian service. Ninety-one ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 92 ---------- 14titu lahattatt At the suggestion of Dr. Miller there was formed at the beginning of the school year an organization termed by outsiders as " The Men's Auxil-iary." Its membership included all of the men of the school, both faculty and student, and its aim was to promote clean, wholesome fellowship among the men students and to otherwise foster a spirit of friendliness and co-operation among its members. Several genuine " stag " socials were held during the year, which were judged by all concerned to be the greatest gloom chasers in history. 0519 ooIterr After Christmas some of the young men who had been prominent in student activities met and formed " The Boosters." Though social in nature, this club was formed along an entirely different line from any then existing in the Normal School. The object of the club is to foster good spirit among the students as a whole and between the organizations of the school. It aims to promote an interest in the Normal among the high school students, many of whom do not understand the work of this school either because it has not been brought to their attention, or because they are indifferent. Hail to B. S. N. S.! May the future bring in greater quantities what the past has not been generous with - men. Ninety-two S~g~I ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 93 ---------- irainin g r! ol HE physical and chemical laboratories are in the north wing of the building; but in the south wing the Normal has a different sort of a laboratory, one where the pedagogy and psychology of the Seniors are tested out. Test tubes and retorts of chemical lab-oratories give no account of experi- ments carried on in them; but the children of the Training School bear a permanent impression and can give an account of the experi-ments which the Seniors have been conducting with them for subjects. 'With this in mind, late in April, the children of the Training School were asked to write what things they had done during the year, which they considered the GERTRUDE Supt. most interesting with a reason for EARInT Tr. Dept. the answer. The answers of these questions are a measure of the success of the experiments, which have been performed in the Training School this year. The first grade children cover a greater diversity of impressions in their reports than any other class. They tell about work for various holidays beginning with Hallowe'en. They like to play stories because they are so " inter-sting." They go to the library to see the pictures and read the Peter Rabbit books. They make a wigwam and Indian life groups on the sand-table, an Eskimo scene and a cotton field with negro workers. They also mention nearly every activity of their school day, including moving pictures, lunch room, " where we learn to act nice," and "'Semblies." In the second grade we get the first idea of studying a thing because "It's good for me." The children are interested in the May-pole dance they are learning, in the sand table and in their songs. The third grade worked out several projects in history which remain in their memories, among them the Viking Boat, an Egyptian House and a Pioneer Wagon. The fourth class tell of their history projects as making a Greek temple; their excursoin as when they studied a bay; their garden project and number work which grew out of that. They also tell about the costume designing in drawing. The fifth and sixth grades enjoy particularly their various dramatiza-tions. They mention some history dramatization and explain how this makes their work more interesting. They tell how the dramatization in English makes them more careful in punctuation, capitalization and also Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 94 ---------- that it helps them " to speak better." Much interest is shown in their Book of Myths of Bellingham, and the magazines for the hospitals. The reasons given by the Junior High School pupils for their work are more clearly defined. Many of them speak of some project in English and say that they gained a greater appreciation for literature and sometimes the moral is mentioned. The benefits gained in punctuation, in the use of verbs, in the mechanics of writing and in general information are all given as reasons why they approve English project. The children see the advantage of the superiority of the Senior plans as well as the Senior, herself. One teacher devised the scheme for three of the class to act as judges to decide whether tolics were satisfactorily handled. The 7-A pupil who reports this says, " This made us study our lessons more thoroughly." Manual training has interested the boys because of the articles of furniture they were able to make for their homes. One class measured and calculated the cost of the excavation for the new dormi-tory. The pupils also tell what they gained from excursions made early in the year when studying types of industry. These reports from the children prove that the Seniors have put their pedagogy and psychology into practice; and have show themselves able to handle the very latest frills in education in such a way as to be both inter-esting and beneficial to the children. TRAINING SCHOOL ATHLETICS The boys' basketball was not as successful this year as in the past. This was largely due to insufficient practice, as the boys were deprived of practice periods to a large extent. Nevertheless they worked hard and faithfully, practicing whenever they could. Out of a total of eight games three were won. The games won were against Ferndale, Scout Troop 4 and Roeder. A good showing was made against the large heavy team from Lowell and in the last game with Franklin the score was only 12 to 13 at the close of the game. The boys were coached by Arthur E. Bowsher. On April 2bth the boys were presented their letters. Those earning letters were Lester White, Vance Radvaney, forwards; Claude Snitzler, center; Arnold Wastrom, Montford Alsop, guards; Weston Hayes and Elmer Peterson, substitutes. The girls' team won two games out of three played. These were from Franklin. The game lost was with Lowell. After this game the Training School girls served refreshments to the two teams which were enjoyed by all. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 95 ---------- THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Entertainments THE PRODIGAL SON The Oratorio Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, gave the oratorio " The Prodigal Son" at the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, February 13th. At Liberty Hall Sunday evening the oratorio was repeated to a very large and appreciative audience. There were several very beautiful solos, duets and quartets given by Mrs. G. W. Nash, soprano; Mrs. H. W. Spratley, contralto; Mr. Oscar Shaw, tenor, and Mr. C. B. Harter, bass. The accompanists were Miss Maud Williams and Miss Edith Kesler. The whole oratorio was beautifully rendered and reflected much credit on the director. THE FEAST OF THE LITTLE LANTERNS Under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, the Choral Club gave one of the most artistically beautiful programs of the whole year when they presented " The Feast of the Little Lanterns," a Chinese operetta by Paul Bliss, Friday evening, April 23. The stage was artistically decorated with colored lanterns and bright flowers. The chorus and cast, dressed in their gayly colored costumes, gave us many beautiful songs and dances. The Oriental atmosphere of the operetta carried the entire audience to the distant land of China where they all spent a most delightful evening. The soloists were Dora Agee, Irene Stewart, Anaide Myers, Ethel Burk-land, Helen Jones, solo dancer; Elwood Davis, Ira Loree and Archie Erick-son. THE NORMAL QUARTET The mixed quartet, consisting of Pearl Ingalls, soprano; Grace Thatcher, alto; Elwyn Bugge, tenor, and Mr. M. B. Thatcher, bass, who substituted for Guy Stickney during his absence, have given some pleasing entertainments during the year. They went to Lawrence and other places near here, giving an evening's program in each place. Their program consisted of quartet numbers, duets, solos and violin music by Mr. Bugge. Victoria Huston went with them as reader and Edith Kesler as piano soloist. The quartet was organized and directed by Mrs. Thatcher, whose efforts helped to make. the organization a distinct success.

The dinner proves to be a success and Susan and Guildford steal quietly away and return blushing and happy, as they have become engaged. But in the midst of the rejoicing Mrs. Guildford, a very cold and dignified per-son, is ushered in and upsets the happy plans because she insinuates that Susan is already the third girl to whom Ripley had been engaged. Mrs. Corbett remains a staunch friend to Ripley Guildford through all the trouble and tries to make Susan see her mistake in dismissing Ripley. Mr. Corbett, who has won considerable fame in his brave deeds in South Africa, tries to enlist in the present war, but at first is refused because of his age, but finally he is accepted. Hobbs also enlists and is likewise accepted. Ripley and Susan's love affair is mended, due to the Ripley's assertion that the girl in question is happily married. And thus the difficulty is solved. Financial straits are likewise improved and all the characters are left in a contented frame of mind. ?Eurning of @Cnr-Art $jalla The members of Mr. Hoppe's expression class put on a series of four one-act plays, on the evening of February 24th.

The first part of the evening was spent in the auditorium with " stunts" pulled off by the various occupants of the different houses on the hill. After the stunts they very quietly adjourned down the banisters to the big gymnasium, where they all joined in games and contests which lasted until someone called " Eats! " With a great amount of hesitation they rushed to the " eats " booth where ice cream and wafers were dealt out without even the asking. After this cool reception they all went home, well pleased with " Normal society." BELLINGHAM, WASH., DEC. 16, 1919. - Last evening the " minority" of the Bellingham Normal banqueted and enjoyed their own society to the utmost. Along with their other ingredients they swallowed speeches, impromptu and otherwise, toasts, songs and yells - until all wished for more elasticity to the membrane of some parts of their anatomy. BELLINGHAM, WASH., FEB. 7, 1920. - Last night at the Normal occurred one of the most interesting events in the history of Bellingham. This was a genuine Country Fair, staged by the students of the school. After an intensely interesting comedy and vocal solos in the auditorium, the entrance to the grounds were thrown open - only to be filled by the rush of Bellingham's population. Here they were entertained with events ranging from grand opera to dog show. Some of the special features were vaudeville, fortune telling, stock shows, rogues' gallery, baby contest and eats. Never in the life of the big gym has the moon witnessed such an evening of co-operated pep and whole-hearted enjoyment as that of last night. BELLINGHAM, WASH., MARCH 6, 1920.- Friday evening, March 5, the men of the Normal enjoyed themselves at a smoker held in the small gym. Numerous forms of entertainment were indulged in, such as boxing, wrestling, racing and horizontal and parallel bar exhibitions. Following this violent exercise they were refreshed with cider and doughnuts. BELLINGHAM, WASH., APRIL 17, 1920.-- One of the events of the year at the Bellingham Normal that depends upon the weather-cock is the annual Chuckanut Marathon which was celebrated by the students on Saturday, April 17, 1920. One Hundred ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page [101] ---------- :v IN ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 102 ---------- Among (Our Thtiters THEO. KARLE Theo. Karle, the great American tenor, gave us one of the treats of the season when he appeared at the Normal, October 13. His mastery of vocal technique, diction and musicianship give him equipment enabling him to present artistically the widest range of song literature. His voice mastery was admirably displayed in the Beethoven aria, " My Heart Is Sore." But the beauty and tenderness displayed in the shorter, simpler songs won the sincerest applause. CAROLINA LAZZARI Of all the musical programs which we were privileged to attend none was more enjoyed than the concert given by Carolina Lazzari, contralto. Her wide range, rich full tones and charming personality help make her one of the few great artists of today. MRS. MAUD E. WILLIS Mrs. Willis gave us an interesting program of plays in our auditorium November 28. She is called "an interpreter of plays" and justified the title in her interpretation of " The Witching Hour," the play of Augustus Thomas. Mrs. Willis is a woman of charming presence and a clear, pleasant voice, which won much applause from her audience. DR. ANNA REED Dr. Anna Reed, who came to us from Washington, D. C., where she is director of the junior division of Employment Service. She gave us a series of very interesting lectures. Dr. Reed showed herself to be a woman of rare personality, a very forceful as well as entertaining lecturer. TOM SKEYHILL Tom Skeyhill, an Australian war poet, speaker and soldier, appeared as the third number of our lecture course. As a speaker too much can not be said of his ability and after one has become used to the " English " in his voice, one sits spellbound or rocks with laughter as the case might be. He gave a lecture on "The Poetry of the War." LORADO TAFT On Monday evening, March 15, Lorado Taft, a prominent American sculptor, appeared at the Normal as the sixth number of our lecture course. He gave an illustrated lecture on " Rambles With the Boys in Burgundy." Many beautiful slides were shown, bringing out the art work on old cathe-drals, churches and monuments. Mr. Taft's lecture was very entertaining, and it was punctuated with bits of humor. FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet, often spoken of as the finest stringed quartet in existence, appeared here April 24 as the last number of our Lyceum Course. Their perfection of technic, remarkable blending of tone and musical attainments rank them first in artistic merit as an organization. One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 103 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY GEORGE STEPHENS IPSY stood in the middle of the road holding his broad straw hat in his hand, watching a horse and buggy disappear in a cloud of dust in the distance. Then he turned and climbed to the top of a high gate under the oaks by the roadside. Alone with his thoughts he sat with his freckled face buried in his hands, thinking of the work his guardian, Mr. Ross, had told him to do the next (cd The next day was the Fourth of July, and Mr. and Mrs. Ross had gone to town to stay a couple of days, leaving Gipsy in charge of the farm. He sat for some time listening to the hogs cracking acorns under the oaks, with now and then a satisfied grunt coming from them. The soft breeze blew his long red hair about his face. When the sun sank lower long shadows crept across the road and out in the meadow a lark sang its last song of the evening. Finally he was aware that tears were trickling down his face. Wiping them on the sleeve of his shirt he slipped hurriedly to the ground and followed a path to the grove by the spring. His homespun breeches dangled half way between his knees and bare feet as he walked along. He whistled to keep up his courage. When he came to the barnyard he was greeted by a friendly whinny from an old white mare that stood under a sagging cow shed. Gipsy had traded a bushel of small Irish potatoes and a gallon of molasses to a band of gypsies who had been passing through the country the fall before, for that old white mare. He was known as Gipsy ever since by the neighbor-hood boys. For the first time he lead the mare into the barn, for Mr. Ross had forbidden him to bring her there. He was to keep her under the cow shed and feed her on fodder. The protruding hip bones of the mare showed conclusively that fodder was not a very substantial food. Johnny Lucey, a neighbor boy, said " She looked more like a hat rack than a horse," and so saying he walked up and hung his hat on her hip bone where it hung until Gipsy, red with anger, grabbed it and threw it over the fence into the corn field. Gipsy led the mare right into a box stall, then brought a heaping bucket of oats and dumped them into the feed box. The mare stuck her nose into the oats, and lifting her head she looked at him thoughtfully. Then the boy climbed into the hay loft and filled the manger with hay. Jumping One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 104 ---------- down he went to the house and after glancing hastily around to see that everything was all right, he returned to the barn, patted the mare gently on the nose and climbed to the hay loft for the night. He lay awake for some time on the new mown hay and watched the full yellow moon climb into the sky. It reminded him of another night a long, long time ago when he lay awake on a little white bed near a window, while his mother walked the floor nervously. Finally three gun shots echoed in quick succession down the mountain side and a few minutes later his father plunged into the room, holding his hand to his bleeding heart. Next day he died and a few weeks later his mother died of a broken heart. The day had come for him to leave the mountains. When he was going around the last bend down the road he looked back at the large tree which he knew sheltered the graves of his mother and father. Now as he lay on the hay watching the moon he saw two little stars close together, twinkling. " One is mother and one is father," he whispered and dozed off to sleep. He arose early next morning and going to the smoke house he ate a hastily prepared breakfast of cold corn bread and milk. He looked wist-fully at the house where he knew there were lots of honey and good things to eat, but Mrs. Ross had taken what she wanted him to eat to the smoke house near the spring and had told him not to enter the house. After milking the cow he turned the mare into the large pasture among the blue grass and clover, took his hoe and started for the corn field on the hot hillside back of the house where 'Mr. Ross had told him to work. He hacked away at the tall weeds along a row of corn down to the other end of the field, then back. The sun was boiling hot and he felt the sweat trickling down his back. He sat down in the shade of a mulberry tree and watched a large chicken hawk go sailing lazily by toward the wood where it lighted on a dead snag. Finally the boy heard his name called. Getting upon a stump he saw Johnny Lucey and Skinny Fuller coming up the hill; each boy carried a fishing pole over his shoulder. " Whoope Oh, Gipsy," came the cry. Gipsy's laziness instantly disappeared and he ran down the hill to meet them. " Come on Gipsy," said Johnny. " Let's go fishing." " Oh, I reckon I can't nohow," drawled Gipsy. " Oh, yes ye can. Jest ye come ahead, an me an Skinny will hep ye all hoe corn tomorrow, an old man Ross won't know it nohow." After fifteen or twenty minutes' argument the boys persuaded Gipsy to go with them. Arriving at the turnpike Gipsy discovered he had no fish-hook. " Oh, take a pin," suggested Skinny. They searched their clothing but could not find a pin. " Oh, gee! I ain't goin' if I can't fish," exclaimed Gipsy. Suddenly a horse and buggy and two girls appeared from a bend down the road. "I have a scheme," said Johnny, tossing his fish pole to Gipsy, " jest ye watch your Uncle Jake," and he proceeded down the road walking lamely. Soon the horse and buggy drew up and the elder girl inquired why the boy was limping. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 105 ---------- Oh, I jest stuck a splinter in the bottom of my foot and I ain't got airy a pin to pick it out. The girl searched in her waist for a pin, then climbed to the ground with a sympathetic look. She handed the pin to Skinny who passed it to Johnny; she motioned for the boy to come nearer so she might help him. Suddenly the boys darted away down the road kicking up a cloud of dust as they went. The girls looked after th'em in surprise. The boys climbed a rail fence and struck out across a field toward the creek. " Oh, let's go wadin'! " said Skinny, " maybe we can find some soft-shell turtles over by the sand bar." " Let's do! " exclaimed Johnny. Gipsy followed willingly as they ran splashing down the shallow stream. At last they came to a deep hole by the cliff, sheltered by the dense foliage of the trees. Skinny ran out in the field and dug some worms with a stick. Then he and Johnny divided their lines with Gipsy, who tied the pin, which he had bent in the shape of a hook, to the string. After several hours of fishing, which netted Skinny one perch, Johnny two and Gipsy one sucker, they showed signs of discontent. Gipsy yawned and stretched then " accidently," on purpose, knocked the can of bait into the water. Skinny jumped to his feet and threw his perch after the can. " Go to thunder, bait and fish; come on, fellers, let's go down to old Mr. Brown's place and steal some muskmelons." " It ain't right to steal," returned Gipsy, quietly. " Oh, who's askin' ye to steal," demanded Johnny, " Jest ye watch your Uncle Jake." The boys crept cautiously down the creek toward the Brown farm, taking the lines from their poles as they went. Climbing the picket fence to the garden they sneaked along behind some blroom corn toward the muskmelon patch, whose vines they could see stretched over the ground with the much coveted fruit on them. As Skinny got hold of a big yellow one ready to snap it from the vine, they heard a voice nearby: " Well, well! boys, so you have come to call on an old man." Glancing around they saw an old man walking with a cane, emerge from the broom corn patch, his soft blue eyes smiling with friendliness. "I am so glad you have come," continued the old man, " very few people call on us now days and you must come right along over to the house. I know Mrs. Brown will be just as glad to see you as I am." Johnny looked at Skinny with almost a lump in his throat. "Just ye wait, Mr. Skin," he threatened in a loud whisper, "just ye wait. I'll fix ye, getting us to come here and get caught." " Let's run," advised Skinny. The old man had started for the house, chuckling to himself. He motioned for the boys to follow. Gipsy started after him, whispering back, " Come on, fellers, don't be afraid of an old man. Come ahead, Johnny, and tell him about your Uncle Jake." .Johnny and Skinny followed shyly. They found that Mrs. Brown was a little bundle of good nature who smiled and looked over her spectacles One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 106 ---------- at them. She seemed to take special interest in Gipsy and eyed his long baggy breeches with sympathy. She invited the boys to the front porch which was shaded by low spreading branches of a locust tree. Old Glory waved from an old flag pole and cast its shadow on the steps of the porch. They sat in some home made rockers with deep cushions in them. Mr. Brown sat opposite Gipsy and began telling them a story of his boyhood days. They could hear Mrs. Brown humming a hymn as she walked quietly about her work in the kitchen. After an interval she appeared at the door and announced dinner. The boys looked at each other sheepishly as they followed the two kind old people into the house. The table was spread with a snowy white cover and set for five. Gipsy was to sit between Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Johnny and Skinny on the opposite side. First Mrs. Brown brought out a large platter of fried chicken; then mashed potatoes, green peas, green onions, radishes and last of all muskmelons. The boys looked at each other shyly and as Johnny said afterwards, they thought the dreaded moment had arrived, but Mr. Brown's look was as indifferent as his voice and not a word was said or hinted at about stealing muskmelons. After dinner Mr. Brown took the boys through the lower part of the garden where he had planted some watermelons and gourds. Some of the gourds had vined up a big oak tree and hung down as if they had been placed there with care. Skinny was sent to the barn after a sack which Mr. Brown filled with muskmelons and small watermelons. Finally the boys departed for home, promising to call again soon. They lugged the sack up Clover Hill. Then they sat down to rest in the shade of a sycamore tree. For some time they remained silent, then Johnny began to cry. Skinny said nothing but swallowed several times and looked away at the blue mountains. A flock of noisy little birds flew by. Gipsy got to his feet and stammered out: " Oh, shoot, fellers, 'taint goin' to do no good nohow! " After talking over what they should do, they hid the melons in a fence corner among some goldenrod. Gipsy said good-bye to the boys and walked up the hill toward home. Johnny and Skinny went by a short cut through the woods. When Gipsy came to a moss covered log he sat down and soon he began to cry. He finally lay down among the tall grass and drifted leaves, looked up through the branches of the tall trees at the white drifting clouds and murmuring several times, "Oh, if she was only my mother! " Taking up his way again he came to the top of a hill where he could look down upon the Ross farm in the valley. The hush of the summer's evening settled down upon the valley. He could see several white chickens walking slowly toward the hencoop to roost, the tinkle of a cowbell echoed from the clover field and the rattle of a wagon came from down the turn-pike. He loped down the hill at an easy gait, and after milking the cow went to the clover field, climbed to the top of the rail fence and called to his old white mare. He whistled several times, then he got down and walked along the fence to a clump of blackberry bushes. He called again. After an interval a full moon appeared from behind old Thunder Mountain, One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 107 ---------- flashing its clear rays out over the valley, revealing a white object stretched out on the ground at a little distance from him. Gipsy smiled and whis-pered, " Sleeping." He crept slowly up but the mare did not move as he approached. In surprise he caught her mane and lifted her head, but it fell back heavily and a pair of white glassy eyes stared up toward the sky. An hour later when Mr. Brown and Judge Fields came to the Ross farm looking for Gipsy they found him sitting on a fence corner crying. When Gipsy saw them coming he howled louder than ever and pointed out to the mare and mumbled out between sobs, " She's dead, she's dead." The two men walked over to the mare. Gipsy heard them say that she had eaten too much. Mr. Brown walked back to Gipsy, picked him up and carried him to the road where he and the Judge had left the horse and buggy. That night in a little room with white walls and blue ceiling Gipsy lay awake listening to Mr. Brown and Judge Fields talking out in the sitting room. Finally he heard them make arrangements for him to stay with Mr. Brown. Gipsy cried - then he got out of bed and walked to the window and gazed out into the moonlit night. Way up toward the moon two tiny stars twinkled brightly, " Mother and father are happy, too," he whispered as he tiptoed back to bed. 3 wlatd AN INCIDENT THE GEORGE STEPHENS weeks had grown into months and the months into twenty years since the ill-fated ship ran on a sunken reef near the South Sea Islands. The only survivor, a tall, handsome Englishman, a perfect specimen of manhood, had at first looked upon his isolated life with indif-ference. Taking advantage of the wreckage, he built a rude but comfortable hut in a grove of tall palm trees at one end of the largest islands near where he had been washed ashore the day of the disaster. His health wore slowly away with the years and at the end of the nineteenth year he could no longer concentrate his mind upon his flock of tame tropical birds nor could he hunt cocoanuts and dates for any length of time without a sudden wild dash along the white, sandy beach in the boiling surf murmuring and screeching to himself. Occasionally a ship appeared far away on the horizon. The days came and went much the same. Now and then the solitude was broken by the shrill cry of a large parrot, or the deep, heavy breathing of the sea, or the wind as it moaned sadly through the palms to remind the man that he was alone. One night, the full, yellow moon rose lazily above the quiet blue sea. The man, with wild, hollow eyes sat on a little grassy knoll watching the approach of a large steamer. Now and then a faint yellow light gleamed from the ship. The man arose suddenly and followed a dim path down One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 108 ---------- the cliffs to the beach. He walked slowly along until he came to a large flat rock. He knelt and examined the rock carefully. He ran his long bony fingers through his matted hair. The name " Ellen " was carved on the rock, but was badly worn by the waves. He arose, his half-starved body shaking with hunger, and whispering to himself he stretched his long bony arms toward the moon. A big red and green parrot flew to his shoulder and cried out shrilly, " Ellen, Ellen, Ellen." The man slowly regained his mind. His whole past life flashed before him. He made a few wild leaps up the cliff to his hut. Grabbing some coals of fire, he ran to the edge of the cliff and with the aid of the tall, dry grass soon had a small blaze started. The ship was now passing nearby and faint sounds of music drifted in with the hot sea breeze. The man's mind left him as suddenly as it had returned and when the fire took a sudden leap upward, he jumped upon it and trampled it out with his bare feet. Then he dashed wildly down the dim trail, along the beach in the wake of the boiling surf, screeching and waving his arms above him. His flock of tame parrots answered from the palm grove. Enu in 1920 SECOND PRIZE STORY PEARL STOUGHTON WELL, it's leap year," announced Ted Carewe. " Un," grunted Jeremiah Pettigrew from the depths of a huge volume on " Organic Acids." To Jeremiah nothing was of any im-portance that did not pertain to chemistry. " Say, Jerry, aren't you afraid for your scalp? " flung in Jack Wells. On occasions the boys undertook to teach Jeremiah a few of the experiences of Normal college life but in vain. He clung obstinately to his ferrocynides and bicarbonates until the attempts of his friends had descended to mere joking. " What say?" he asked, now looking up suddenly through his round tortoise-shell glasses. " Why, it's leap year, man," cried Ted. " Leap year? " asked Jeremiah regarding a diagram interestedly. " You bloomin' blockhead! Don't you know that during leap year the ladies may propose to the gents? You must beware! " chortled Phil Hardy. " Ladies propose! " ejaculated Jerry with a scandalized look. " Sure," said Phil, winking at Ted. " You want to look out. I heard Bess Holden say just recently that you had such a romantic nose, she thought she'd try for you." Jeremiah recalled the dashing, brilliant Bess and shuddered. During all his studious life he had above all things avoided girls, but now - " They - they don't really. You're just guying me - " he wavered. " Indeed not," Jack assured him solemnly. " It's gospel truth. You One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 109 ---------- see you've never gone after the girls so they're going after you. I noticed Blanche Wilson watching you in class this morning. Now she's not a bad sort -" "Say, clear out of here. I've got to get this formula straight, right now! " he shouted in desperation. Contrary to all precedent the trio withdrew meekly. However, had Jeremiah's hearing been keen he might have heard the low murmuring that proceeded from Jack's room across the hall. "- - scare him stiff - girls'll never know - some joke on the old boy! I'll bet he'll beat it worse than ever! " " I say, let's get little Ann Mayo in ---- " came Phil's voice. " Nix," ordered Ted. The lecture next evening offered an opportunity for their nefarious scheme to be put in operation. " Say, Jerry, old man, will you do me a favor?" begged Phil in an undertone. " Um," grunted Jeremiah, not pausing in his note taking. " Harriet Franklin's here with her chum Blanche Wilson. Now you just see Blanche over to the hall -- come along with us you know, and I'll be your Aunt Isaac," coaxed the mischief maker. " Oh - I - - " began Jeremiah. " Thanks, old man. Awfully kind. I'll do something for you some day," broke in the rogue. "I say - I - " began Jerry again. " Sh - you're disturbing the speaker," whispered Ted as he admin-istered a sharp dig in his roommate's ribs. Jeremiah subsided, but his eyes, fixed on the speaker were terror-filled. Phil saw that Jeremiah had no chance for a private word before they joined the girls. Then he whispered, " Now with a little tact, you know, she can be kept from " Jeremiah strode along in silence beside the vivacious young lady. " Oh, Mr. Pettigrew, a penny for your thoughts," came Miss Wilson's insinuating tones. Jeremiah realized with a start that he was entirely alone with her. The others had dropped back. He stammered dismally. " I'll bet you were thinking about me," announced the young lady suddenly. What he said Jeremiah never knew. At all events it was entirely inadequate to the situation. " Isn't the moonlight romantic, Mr. Pettigrew? " she persisted. Jerry murmured something about never having noticed, " Doesn't the soft glow just make your heart quiver - " At this point Jeremiah lengthened his stride. He had noticed what had escaped his companion - the proximity of the hall steps. " Why, Mr. Pettigrew, how you walk! " she gasped. " Oh, yes- here we are - good night," he burst forth and with a nervous twitch of his hat he vanished, leaving Blanche overcome with One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 110 ---------- silent mirth. She was joined almost immediately by her co-conspirators and all three rocked with laughter. Poor Jeremiah did not rest well that night. His cheeks burned and quivers were running up and down his spine. What if he should meet her again? WVhat if -but here he fell asleep to dream of being pursued by a disheveled creature breathing smoke and flame. By afternoon of the next day he could think of other things for a half hour at a time. At last he betook himself to his beloved laboratory. Before long he was deep in an experiment - so deep that he did not observe the entrance of a small, thin, young lady who occupied the place next him. He was aroused by a quiet, persistent voice. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Pettigrew, but could you reach that bottle? Some one put it up high." Jeremiah started and turned a deep crimson. " Excuse me, Miss Smith," he murmured as he handed her the bottle. Julia Smith was a plain little woman devoted to organic chemistry and utterly guiltless of coquetry, but to Jeremiah she appeared to be a siren. He drew as far away from her as possible and stared blindly at his dish of bubbling grease. At length he gained control of himself sufficiently to reach for a tube of yellow stuff from the rack. " Mr. Pettigrew, will you " But she was interrupted by a loud sizzling and a cloud of smoke. Jeremiah's start had overturned a beaker into his dish of grease. Miss Smith's scream brought several people to the spot but Jeremiah had recovered his presence of mind and was wiping up the mess with a dilapidated towel. This procedure brought his right hand into view. " Oh! " cried Mliss Smith, " It's burned! " It was certainly burned and in spite of his protestations Jeremiah was sent to a doctor. The doctor pronounced the burn not serious and Jeremiah with an interesting bandage caught the car for home. Unable to write because of his burned hand Jeremiah found peace and quiet in his room. Just as life was becoming quite normal again Ted rushed in with the announcement that they both must attend a party at Morris Hall. In vain Jeremiah pleaded and rebelled; his roommate was obdurate and in the end he submitted. If ever there was a miserable man that man was Jeremiah Pettigrew as he entered the cosy living room at Morris Hall. Ted immediately found his way into the midst of a merry group and Jerry was left to his own devices. He found a quiet nook watching the young people before him and marveling at their fearlessness. At last his glance rested on a slim little miss in a fluffy white dress. She was standing not far from him watching the others with bright grey eyes and rosy parted lips. Jeremiah's gaze, however, was riveted on her hair. He had never seen anyone's hair so coppery in color and so curly. He felt a desire to catch one of the little rings that clustered around her face. As he watched, Ted approached the girl and with a laughing remark One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 111 ---------- drew her into the group before the fire. Jerry longed to join them but dared not. Some time later he was so near Ted and the red-haired miss that his roommate introduced him. "Ann Mayo, the name fits her," he thought. " Not half homely when he smiles," was Ann's mental comment. Jeremiah did not say much. That would have been impossible, but his eyes followed Ann wherever her bright head could be seen. It was a thoughtful Jerry that left Morris Hall that evening. He decided that after all leap year might not be such a bad affair. The next day as Jeremiah came down the library steps, reading as he walked, he became aware of someone just ahead of him. It was Ann Mayo. Flushing with embarrassment, he fell in step beside her, choking out a feeble " Good morning." Then he waited wondering what would she say. " crisp weather is the nicest for picnics." Jeremiah made an attempt to reply and drew a deep breath. Ann chatted with him from the library to the door of Morris Hall. When he left her Jeremiah felt that he had done a bold and hazardous deed. In this pleasing frame of mind he returned: home. When Ted came, he was overflowing with joy. There was to be a big concert in town tomorrow. Everyone would be going. He thought he'd ask - maybe Blanche Wilson - or, well - Ann Mayo. Suddenly a thought flashed into Jeremiah's mind. For a second he was too dazed by the idea to speak. Then with a burst of confidence he rushed to the telephone, leaving the exuberant Ted open-mouthed. Still boldly he gave the number of Morris Hall. While he waited for the answer all the terrors of his venture burst upon him, appalling him. He had just decided to hang up the receiver and flee when someone answered. Breath- lessly he asked for Ann Mayo. " Hello - hello - is this Miss Mayo? Yes - this is - well - yes - I am - that is -- I'm Jeremiah Pettigrew speaking. I - I heard - that is Ted - I mean I heard about the concert and I thought -- I wish - that is -- I hoped -- oh, well - will you go with me? Thanks - eight, then. All right. Good- bye." Trembling at his own audacity Jeremiah returned to his room. For the rest of the day he turned a deaf ear to the sallies of Ted and .Jack. Every time he thought of it he experienced a sinking sensation. He was so absorbed that he paid no heed when Ted came in growling because "Ann Mayo had other arrangements." He spent an unprecedented time getting ready the next evening and yet he never felt so awkward and unprepared as he did when he pre-sented himself at Morris Hall. Ann did not keep him waiting, and with an almost enjoyable excite-ment he strode along beside her. His face burned and his heart pounded. Ann chatted gaily on a hundred and one topics but one person cannot make a conversation. Ann found it so and after a time she, too, grew silent. To Jeremiah the silence was awful and he made one or two valiant attempts to entertain her. By the time they reached the theater Jeremiah One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 112 ---------- was watching one loose red curl and wondering how it would feel to be so short. Ann was stealing side glances at her companion, noting the firm mold of his chin and the dreamy light in the eyes behind the round glasses. The concert may have been a success, but neither Ann nor Jeremiah heard much of it. Each was considering the long silent walk home. It was as bad as they had feared. Ann walked along in silence and Jeremiah had not the courage to utter a word. The girls at Morris Hall looked very mysterious when Ann entered, but her preoccupied air gave them no excuse to unburden themselves. Jeremiah undertook to devote himself to his chemistry, but the beloved subject had lost its charm. He found himself seeing Ann's face on the page before him; the silvery ring of one bottle against another suggested her laugh; the glowing fluid in his test tube was just the color of her hair; the eddy and whirl of the ascending gases was like the wave of her hair. He even noticed little Miss Smith was just Ann's height. At last he went to the telephone and called her. With a vast amount of embarrassment he managed to make her understand that he would like to call. Could he have seen the half amused, half tender light in her grey eyes as she listened to his halting words! With great nervousness he dressed and fled from Ted's questions. As he neared Morris Hall his feet lagged. Once he paused and almost turned, but he overcame the impulse and ascended the hall steps. He rang the bell and was ushered into the hall by a wise looking little person who went after Ann. Jeremiah suffered tourtures before the girl appeared. Perhaps something of it was in his face - certainly Ann saw something there that made her very kind to the frightened young man. Jeremiah was, as ever, tongue-tied. He was quite content to sit and watch the curl of Ann's hair, the sparkle of her eyes. He felt no need of words. The girl fidgetted at his silence until the humor of it struck her, flashing a dimple into view in one cheek. " Do it again," he said involuntarily. " What?" she cried in amazement. " Oh - no - nothing," he stammered, a deep crimson flaming in his cheek. " I -- I must be going. He arose abruptly and departed forthwith, leaving Ann to laugh softly as she ascended the stairs. " Oh, Ann," cried Blanche Wilson, with a teasing inflection. " Oh, Ann," echoed several others, with much laughter. " What is it? " she asked quickly. " Oh - Ann - did - did you - oh - I shall die - " choked Blanche doubling with mirth. " Have you anything to say? If so, get it out of your system quickly," advised the girl coolly. The other girls joined in the laughter until weak and wet-eyed they leaned against the wall. " Did - did you propose to dear Professor Jeremiah? " giggled Blanche at last. " Not that I know of - why?" One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 113 ---------- Dear me! I must tell you the joke. You know Ted Carewe - he told me. The boys stuffed Mr. Pettigrew with a big tale about girls proposing and leap year until Jeremiah was scared stiff! Oh - I shall die - when I think of it! He's expecting the girls to propose. You should do your duty when he gives you the chance. "I think you and Ted Carewe have been in big business. I think Mr. Pettigrew is the truest gentleman here - and Ted, the silliest puppy. You might both of you spend a little time learning common decency from him," cried Ann with blazing eyes. With this she flung herself into her room and slammed the door upon a group of very surprised young ladies. The sudden spell of cold weather that fell on the little town in no wise cooled Jeremiah's heated brain. He grew more absent-minded than ever. He nearly blinded himself in the laboratory and generally disgraced himself. Whatever ailed him he could not tell. In the midst of a most absorbing lecture he would be staring straight before him, his pencil twirl-ing uselessly in his fingers. Ann he did not see. Whatever she was doing she succeeded in keeping out of his sight. About a week after his call upon Ann he came home to find Ted in a great state of excitement. He was getting up a skating party for the next afternoon and Jerry must go. Jeremiah pleaded a headache and every other excuse, but in vain. The next afternoon saw him well and warmly clothed plodding along in the rear of a party of students bound for Lake Mary. Quite despond-ently he trudged along, dangling his skates, until he heard above the clatter and laughter a voice that sent a thrill through him. With startled intent-ness, like one frightened out of a sound sleep, he straightened and surveyed his companions. He saw her far in the lead, a small conspicuous figure in her brown suit. From that moment he began to notice what was hap-pening around him. When Ann's partner left her for a moment at the edge of the lake Jeremiah awkwardly stepped up and offered to put on her skates. Ann consented with faintly flushed cheeks, conscious of the impish glance of Blanche Wilson. With a great deal of fumbling and awkwardness he finally strapped them on and, rising, held out his hands. Ann accepted silently and the pair swung out onto the lake quite unmindful of the wrathful amazement of Ted and the amusement of Blanche. Jeremiah was a good skater and Ann loved the sport. No happier couple swung across the ice that chilly afternoon, although there was many a noisier pair. As they glided he observed how the wind drove the rich red to her cheeks and loosened sundry glowing curls. Ann was noticing the easy, tireless stride, the quiet mastery with which he guided her. So absorbed was each that they did not see the little inlet which they were approaching until it yawned before them. " Oh! " she screamed - but too late. There was a great splash! a sudden cold shock - and Jeremiah found himself in the icy water. He made a motion to swim when he fel tsomething One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 114 ---------- beneath. He straightened and stood upright on the bottom of the creek. He reached for the bit of brown and caught Ann's dress. He slid his arm about her and held her for a second. " Stand up - the bottom is just down there," he said. But the water reached to his shoulder and Ann was shorter than that. She could not touch the sand and clung to him pitifully. Then Jeremiah proved that he was a man as well as a genius. He gathered her into his arms and waded shoreward. " Let me down now," she begged, as they drew in closer. Jeremiah's answer was not in words, but it was very plain to Ann. Several couples had heard Ann's scream and had seen the accident from a distance, but so quickly had it all occurred that they arrived at the spot just in time to behold the bedraggled young man openly clasp the dripping young woman in his arms and express himself in several moist smacks. " Heaven help us! " ejaculated Ted, pulling off his coat to wrap Ann. What - what's happened! " Half an hour later in the big kitchen of a nearby farmhouse Ann, clad in a dress far too large for her, came shyly forth to greet Jeremiah, arrayed in garments several sizes too small for him. " Come on, Blanche. We're not needed," cried Ted, shoving the other occupants out of the room. Some time later Jeremiah ventured a gentle observation: " We - we - we're engaged, aren't we? " One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 115 ---------- yi Mountain 0tream FIRST PRIZE POEM ANNA ERICKSON Are you fleeing from unknown danger Or rushing to new delights, My mountain stream, rushing, rushing, Through the days and through the nights?

Is it mirth and the long glad hours That cause you to dance and leap; Or the hidden pain of memory, That will not let you sleep?

One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 116 ---------- FIRST PRIZE ESSAY LETHA S. DuCOMMUN I XVAS lost. I gazed helplessly around, but no one came. In front of me were ridges of hills, trees and thick underbrush. Night was fast falling, the sky became blacker and small drops of rain pattered down on the ground beside me. I called out once, then again, but all I heard was the echo. In my heart, I knew I must find the answer to that echo, and it was not to be solved by gazing at the already black sky, or wondering if some-one would come. I must go ahead. So half walking, and half stumbling, I made my way over the first hill. The briars cut me but still I went on. By this time, the rain came in torrents and I stumbled and fell, but at last all out of breath, I reached the next hill. What was that? A light! I knew that light was the answer to my echo, but that answer could be obtained only in one way, by continued effort and hard work. My face was dirty, and my clothes were torn by the cruel briars, when at last I reached the gate of the farm house, the light of which had guided and helped me on. But to my dismay, I was met by a large dog which growled, broke the slender rope which bound him, and jumped at me. Imagine if you can my relief when a pleasant voice said, " Down, Rover, down," and then, " Come in, stranger, and make yourself at home." The warmth of the fireplace and the kindly atmosphere of home were like a healing benediction to my wounded and bedraggled spirits. Truly it was the answer to my echo. How many have stood alone, lost on the hills of knowledge, and calling out have received the echo, but have not, as yet, secured its answer? The answer is there, but each one must find it for himself. We are all receiving echoes every day. When the war came we waited for a long time calling out, receiving the echo but letting its answer wait. It was not until we sent our boys ahead with effort and hard work that the answer came. Today, you and I are standing not on a hill, but on the mountain of knowledge. The children who need us have given the echo, for there is such a dearth in the ranks that we must find that answer although it does mean hard work and low salaries. At first we do not wish to face it - we call out -we hear just the echo; somehow, somewhere ahead is the light, the answer to our echo. For our country and for the future citizens, you and I must find that answer and count not the cost. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 117 ---------- What of omorrno? SECOND PRIZE ESSAY HERBERT HANSEN HE everlasting question, "What of tomorrow? " is one that through-out all ages has been puzzling mankind and to which many have essayed an answer. One thing is certain, mortal man is not endowed with the power of prophecy, but it is equally certain that coming events cast their shadows before them, so that mankind, through a careful and candid consideration of the past and present can to a large extent answer the time-old question and foretell what the future has in store for them. America today is at the dawn of a great tomorrow. The most gigantic struggle in the annals of time has just ceased and the world has not yet recovered from the shock thereof. Reconstruction is progressing slowly and meanwhile millions impatiently are peering ahead and wondering what tomorrow holds in store for them. Will it be a day of honor and glorious splendor, or will it prove a disappointment - a blot to mar our national history? Momentous times are there, and great, indeed, are the problems which face our leaders. Foremost in our mind arises the question, what has America gained from the war? What have we to show in return for the billions of dollars we spent, and the thousands of lives that were sacrificed? What were the benefits of the war and what do they tell of tomorrow? Before the war Germany dominated the field of chemistry. Undis-puted her scientists reigned in their laboratories, concocting all manner of infernal devices - also their far-famed dyes. Every novelty or souvenir we purchased must bear the unescapable mark of Germany. But the war has changed all this. No longer is America dependent upon Germany, for no sooner had the war shut off our supply of dyestuffs, than American chemists turned their dyes upon the market. Not works of beauty, to be sure, but the war did start us in this line of manufacture which is a benefit for which we should be devoutly thankful. Commercially, a great tomorrow awaits America. Considering our geographical position, it is but logical to assume that the bulk of South American trade should be in our hands. Before the war, through our neglect, we allowed the enterprising German salesmen to snatch this from beneath our very eyes. Now that the war is over Germany is already pre-paring for the commercial battle. Shall we of America sit idly by and allow this fruit of victory to be snatched from our hands? What does tomorrow hold in store for us? Shall we arise and maintain our commer-cial supremacy, or sink into oblivion? Assuredly the promise of tomorrow is a bright one if we but grasp it. But South America is not the only field that beckons for American products. India, China and Japan are joining the ranks of civilized nations and crying for manufactured articles. But at that Japan is not so much a field for trade as a commercial rival. While Europe has been devastated by war and the industries of the United States turned into martial activities, One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1920 - Page 118 ---------- Japan has not been idle. While the nations of the world that previously led in mercantile activities have remained stationary, Japan has progressed, and now the dawn of her tomorrow is a rosy one. Whether the so-called "yellow peril" constitutes a serious menace or not, is another and a lengthy question, but at this time it is a self-evident fact that if America does not beware, Japan will sweep down with her now powerful merchant marine and lick up the cream of the trade with other awakening Oriental countries. Press dispatches from all sources at this time indicate that Japan's expansion in foreign trade is regarded as general. At present Japan has the advantage due to the slow progress of reconstruction, but whether she shall permanently retain it or not is a vital question upon which depends much of the glory of our tomorrow. Another of the fields of trade mentioned above was India. Most of India's 315,000,000 obtain their living through agriculture. Primitize methods were employed until recently but now the demands for American manufactured products is unsatisfied and the possibility for trade with India is limited only by our initiative. It is unnecessary to say more con-cerning the trade prospects of America for the future. The dawn betokens a bright tomorrow for commercial America. There are, however, other vital questions demanding solution. Para-mount among these is the peace treaty and the League of Nations. Undeniably the ideals of those advocating the League of Nations are high and noble. War is always detrimental and any means that would abolish it should be worthy of consideration. Whether the prophecies of League advocates come true and war is forever Wiped from the face of the earth remains to be seen, but as was said before, no man is a prophet, and the lessons of yesterday and today do not speak well for the peace league of tomorrow. The experiences of the immediate past do not indicate that human agencies as yet can remove war from the world. If the linking of the United States with the nations of Europe would promise well for our tomorrow is one of the questions over which our statesmen are pon-dering today. As yet the opening question, " What of tomorrow?" remains un-answered, but as a glorious sunset foretells a glorious dawn, so does today foretell a bright tomorrow.

The river is flowing to meet her mate A thousand leagues away. She hums and whispers a low, sweet song From dawn till close of day. And on the shore Forevermore, The wavelets run and play. The sun is bidding the world good-night, And rosily tints the skies; The pines, on the everlasting hills, Grow black, and daylight dies. In peaceful rest On Nature's breast, The world in silence lies.

Mr. Sangster: "Good gracious; you must make that check last longer than that." Innocent Junior: "I've heard of a Good Friday and an Ash Wednesday, but what in thunder is a nut sundae?" Laugh and the teacher laughs with you. Laugh again and you laugh alone. Teacher: "A fool can ask more ques-tions than a wise man can answer." Student: "No wonder so many of us flunk in our exams."

Chuckanut there passed Some youths who bore with manner nice A banner with that strange device - "Seniors will win!" Their brows were set, their eyes so deep Looked very much bereft of sleep. And ever they were heard to sing On their way up the same old thing, " Seniors will win!" And later there was seen to pass A Junior and a pretty lass. Above the Senior's fires shone And from his lips escaped a groan, " Juniors will win!" Try not the pass the Seniors said, But still straight up the hill he lead The lass who walked on by his side, And loud and saucy he replied, " Juniors will win! " At break of day was seen to be A member of the faculty Climbing furiously and fast, And Seniors saw his sign at last, " Instructors win!" " 0, stop! " the students cried - " and rest." But their intent the traveler guessed. A twinkle flashed from his blue eye, And he was heard to make reply, "No, we must win!" And all (lay long by twos and more Their banners up the hill they bore, Pausing to eat hot buns and dogs, But sat not long upon the logs - For each would win. One man helped twenty maids or more Surmount the hill to boost the score. A modest man lie was in truth, But brave, oh brave, must be the youth At Normal School! Travelers by the way were found Exhausted - lying on the ground, Still grasping in each grimy hand A banner which revealed their band - " Juniors will win! " And many days they figured up To find who won the silver cup, Until at last there came the day When in Assembly Luke did say, "The Seniors won!" Irish: "I haven't slept for days?" Black: "What's the matter, sick?" Irish: " No, I sleep at nights." Howard Griggs: " Barber, how long will I have to wait for a shave? " Barber (looking him over carefully): "Oh, about two years." Teacher: "Johnny, tell me what you know about the Caucasian Race." Johnny: "I wasn't there. I went to the baseball game."

Now that the work is finished, the staff members will feel amply rewarded if the book to which they devoted so much of their time serves as a pleasant and comprehensive review of the past school year. Much credit is due to various students in the Art Department for the admirable etchings that appear throughout the book. Especial mention should be given to Miss Ruth Claassen, who sub-mitted the Klipsun cover design, and to Miss Ethol Lewis, who designed the running head. The Senior Class poem, which appears below the Senior etching, was written by Misses Carrie and Evelyn Whittier.

The site occupies an area of sixty acres of land, situated on the western slopes of Sehome Hill, overlooking Bellingham Bay. Far to the north may l)e seen the snow-capped mountains of British Columbia, while toward the south, the many picturesque islands of the Bay affords a view of rare magnifi- cence. From a small beginning the institution has grown to be one of the largest of its kind in the West. It is now in its twenty-second year of splendid service; and has graduated over two thousand nine hun- dred people. Out of this numbler of graduates, fifty occupations are represented, which goes to show the vast field for which graduates may prepare themselves at the Normal. The greatest numb)er of the graduates are engaged in pedagogical work, while the remaining are still pursuing their work in some higher institutions of learning, or are engaged in some form of business. The course of study of the school has been enlarged yearly so that at the present it is possible to obtain a four-year course, where as in former years a student was only able to get a two-year course. At the present time a one-year course is offered to graduates of a college or university. Owing to the rapid rise in the standards of teaching, only people qualified for college entrance are now permitted to enroll as students, ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 10 ---------- SK LIP SU N whereas at the opening of the institution, eighth grade graduates were admitted. The original building, costing about $45,000 was built in 1896. Three years later, on the sixth day of September, the school opened its doors to students, and, from that time up to the present the school has occupied seven buildings fully equipped and furnished, which have cost about three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars. The Training School building was erected in 1901; Edens Hall in 1905; the Science Annex in 1907; the Manual Training Shop and a large annex to the Training School in 1913, and a central heating plant in 1917. A new girls' dormitory will be built during the present year and will be completed and ready for occupation by September. Besides the addition of buildings and equipment, much progress has manifested itself in the different departments of the school. The Science Department has grown to such an extent that today many students can be found enrolled in the Normal, who are specializing in science, owing to the fact that the Science Department is so well equipped for this work. The same may be said concerning the other various departments of the institution. The work in the Extension Department has shown a rapid development in the past three years. Through this department graduates and others in the teaching field are able to keep in touch with the latest educational movements of the present. Now over two hundred and twenty-five people are taking work under the guidance of this (lepartment. Seventeen teachers of the school are doing exten-sion work, and twenty- eight subjects are being taught. Many of these teachers go out into the neighboring communities and speak to the people along educational lines. In this case the work is usually carried out by means of the town and community meetings. Much work is carried by correspondence. (One of the things which has probably been a great help to many students in gaining a Normal School education is the Student Loan Fund. This fund was first started by the Senior Class of the year 1904. By means of special contributions from other graduating classes and people interested in the school, the fund has grown rapidly until at the present time it contains about $17,000. It is the privilege of the students enrolled in the school to borrow money from this fund to complete their course if they so desire. Dr. G. W. Nash, the present president, has been with the school since 1914. By his guidance and directions the institution has grown until now it is recognized throughout the United States. As the result of this, the school has students whose homes border on the Atlantic ()cean. Through the years which are to come, the school will, as it has in the past year, grow and( broaden, and have for its aims, the molding of more and better teachers- the sculptors of mankind. - ARTHUR L. HUGGINS '21. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 11 ---------- B-S-N-S ;; at mritam The following poem was a favorite of Miss Baker's, and one she was fond of repeating: The Lily of Yorrow Deep in the heart of the forest the Lily of Yorrow is growzing; Blue is its cup as the sky, and with mystical odour o'erflowing; Faintly it falls through the shadowy glades when the south wind is blowing. Searching and strange in its sweetness, it steals like a perfume en-chan led Under the arch of the forest, and all who perceive it are haunted, Seeking and seeking forever, till sight of the lily is granted. Surely to see it is peace rand the crown of a life-long endeavour; Surely to pluck it is gladness but they who have found it can never Tell of the gladness and peace: they are hid from our vision forever. 'Twas bilt a moment ago that a comrade was wandering near me: Turning aside from the pathway he mnirmired a greeting to cheer nie - Then he was lost in the shade, atnd I called butl he did not hear me. Why should I dream he is dead, and bewail him zwith passionate sorrow? Surely I know there is gladness in finding the Lily of Yorrow: He has discovered it first, rand perhaps I shall find it tomorrow.

S. N. S. From the beginning, the class assumed an observant at-titude which has continued to the present time. Organization was immediately affected and worthy work commenced. During the two years of its exitence the career of the class has been marked by many events. In dramatics, music, athletics, or in fact all school activities, the Seniors have made an outstanding record by their willing attitude and firm support. During the pleasant two years of its stay at Normal, the class has enjoyed many " mix- ClINTrox F1.P 'RuN:, lreSident ers " and social gatherings with its fellow students. Each mem-ber of the Senior Class has at some time shown his wisdom and talent through club work. Many of the present graduates have h ed the honor of holding offices in various societies, and their good work and interest has in many cases helped uphold the high reputation of the societies. In athletics the Class of '21 has excelled. Its men have composed a large p)art of the teams which have won so many victories in basket- )all and baseball. The girls have shown their athletic ability by win-ning the Kline Cup, in the Junior-Senior basketball series of 1920. The fairness and true interest of the players will be with many a treasured memory. Dramatics has always held a high place among the many other interests of the class. As Juniors, the class presented " The Scare-crow " at which time the dramatic talent of the class was clearly shown. The play met with the greatest of approval and no doubt the magnificence of the play and the wonderful ability of the actors will forever linger in the minds of those who witnessed it. During our last year the class presented as their annual play " The Servant in the House," which also met with the great success as that of " The Scarecrow." In conclusion, the class extends to its successors a hearty welcome, and hopes that those classes following will profit by its example and ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 31 ---------- B-S-N-S i fill its place with a spirit of loyalty which will be both noble and true in its nature. It also wishes to thank its class advisors for their hearty support and true interest which they have ever shown. It is through their hearty support that the Seniors go out from the school with such high standards. And now as the year is drawing to a close and the class must hid farewell to dear old B. S. N. S., it realizes much of the knowledge will be forgotten in the years which are to follow, but the friendshipls, frolics and all the good times of the past two years will last in its memory forever.

" ask the Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-one. " I have toiled for two years, striving, ever striving to fulfill my every ambition. For two short years I have worked, every part of me perfectly attuned. Now as the end is drawing nigh my thoughts fly to the future. Crystal, 0 Crystal, what does the future hold for me? " " The future holds for you, Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-one, health, happiness and love. I see you in every hamlet, village and city over all the world. Success will follow you where ever you go. There will be leaders in art, music, politics and science among you. The greatest book of the age will be written by one of you. One of you will win the ten thousand dollar Paris prize for the greatest dis- covery in physics. I see a second Plato among you in the person of your class president. Vast numbers of you will lead the coming gen-eration to honorable citizenship since you have the ability to see in every child the ideal citizen of the future, just as Michael Angelo saw the angel in the rough stone. And like him you will have the ability to perfect their afterselves as he the David. After years of pains-taking labor with the children of our land you will again change your occupation and build homes. In that you will accomplish your great-est good, for homes are the bulwarks of civilization. As the years go on and on, the ' Normal by the Sew ' will rock back and forth upon its foundation and shout with pride, 'All honor to the Class of Nine-teen Hundred Twenty-one, for it has made the most of every oppor-tunity.' " "It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll: I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul." HENLEY. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 33 ---------- B-S.N-S 33 Senior Class Will We, the 1921 Senior Class, the most intelligent class that ever walked the spacious halls of the Bellingham State Normal, of the County of Whatcom, in the State of Washington, United States of North America, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and under- standing, and considering our end is near, do therefore, make, pul)lish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in manner and form following, to-wit: ARTICLE I.

The Juniors have done much towards making life at the Normal profitabl)e, pleasant and ,interesting. They have been prominent in society, clubs, debate, drama and athletics. The class mixers were noted for their gaiety and brilliance. All the beauty and chivalry of the school came to these social gatherings. The pulchritude of the ladies, the fine figures of the men and the sparkling wit and repartee of all, gave to these societies an atmosphere of great splendor. The diverse clubs of the school were, of course, keen to appre-ciate the intellectual qualities of the Juniors. There was intense rivalry among the different organizations in pledging the newcomers to membership. The intimates have shown themselves well worthy of the confidence put in them. In debate the Juniors again made a marvelous showing. Of the six debaters four were Juniors, who brought to their tasks fine felicity of diction and eloquence. The class is justly proud of these debaters. In their various societies and expression classes the Juniors dem-onstrated that they were ardent disciples of Thespis. Several dramas were presented in which Juniors played important roles. The climax was reached in the play " Rosemary," the annual class production, made up of an all-star cast of Juniors. The comedy delighted a large and appreciative audience. In athletics the class has been most successful. The Junior girls, as in previous years, were again victorious in basketball over their opponents, the Seniors. Thanks to the superior strength and skill of the Juniors, they found no difficulty in defeating their adversaries and winning the Kline Cup. This trophy has been in the possession of the Junior Class for some years. The Normal School girls' basketball team was also largely made up of Juniors. Due to the dexterity and agility of these girls, they were able to triumph many times. The majority of the men on the first and second basketball teams were Juniors. It is well nigh superfluous to add that these men acquitted themselves most creditably. The many victories of the teams were in a large measure due to the fine work of these Juniors. The Juniors are greatly indebted to the various class officers who have diligently performed their respective duties and who have done such meritorious work in furthering the interests of the class. The different committees which were appointed from time to time have, by their untiring efforts, succeeded in making the many functions of the class pleasant and successful. The members of the class sincerely appreciate the endeavors of Mr. Bond, the class advisor, who, by his enthusiasm and kindly advice, has encouraged them in their divers activities. Although the class has been interested in many things dealing with the lighter side of life, the members have not forgotten the pur-pose of their study here. The great majority of them have applied ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 60 ---------- O KLIPSUN themselves to their work and mastered their daily tasks, knowing that there can be no opportunity for future service without prepara-tion. And so the Juniors have tried to give the best that is in them. Sometimes they have failed but they have profited by their failures. Some have, by the very nature of their work, been in the foreground. Others, perhaps not so conspicuous, have nevertheless done their parts modestly and faithfully. May the past attainments of the class but act as spurs for future achievements, and may these words of Walt Whitman be an inspiration to them in the years to come:,. "There is no endowment in man or woman that is not tallied in you; There is no virtue, no beauty in man or woman, but as good is in you; No pluck, no endurance in others,, but as good is in you; No pleasure waiting for others, but an equal pleasure waits for you." - GEORGE VAN DE WETERING.

At the regular student election in April the following officers were chosen for next year: Miss Elsie Minor, president; Carol Haeske, vice-president; Marian Collier, Esther Cook and Mrs. Edna Anstett, student representatives. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 62 ---------- C. C. BAUGHIMAN, Myr. RUTH SANFORD, Alst. Student's Co-Op The Students' Co-Op, owned and controlled by the Students' As-sociation, is considered one of the best college stores in the country. The store was organized in 1908, and until five years ago was run by the student managers. Since then Mr. C. C. Baughman has given his entire time to the store and under his capable and efficient management it has become an essential part of student life. During the past two years, Miss Ruth Sanford, a graduate of Whatcom High School, of this city, has ably served as the store assist-ant, and her pleasant manner and charming personality have won her the friendship of all the students. The Co-Op aims not only to supply students with the proper equipment for school and recreative life at moderate cost, but stands for efficiency in its management, prompt service and courtesy to its patrons. 62 K L IP SU N ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [63] ---------- 14 J hrn ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [64] ---------- COACH SAI E.

Forward Max has had several years' experience with some fast squads, being one of the main-stays of last year's Blue and White team. His method of pivoting while dril)bling the ball proved an unsolvable mystery to his many oppo-nents. DWIGHT CONE, Center Cone proved a valuable asset to the team on account of his speed, and a well developed left-handed " hook." RICHARD INGE, Guard Dick was another classy guard who could hang on to any forward that stepped uI)on the floor. It was a lucky man who got away for an open shot when Inge was guarding him. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 66 ---------- CO KLIPSUN i :rnmr'1: l 1' li Llll no u n n ;r r ;u u: n nn r :n n n ; :::u u nu u :u u n n ;n u n ;r ;r r; mu n ::n ;. uw ;" :u u u n u nm u n ;; : :r n u :llln;u l;lllrlluln ; llul ll tlltllrllrI u r I I Il; ; ;l; n;llmll ;lrulllllrll : l;lulll llll lnl rIll r Il IuII II;I IIIIIaI Il;Il;uI; I uu llllllllllfun;; LAWRIENCE HWRIGHT, IUtility Wright proved his worth as an all around man, being a very speedy player in what-ever position was given him.

HERBERT YORKSTON, Forward Another of last year's men who returned for another year of Normal basketball. "Herb" is an excellent man and his accuracy in shooting helped win most of the games for Normal. ANTONE FRANK, I'tilly " Fink " was a speedy guard and proved a stumbling b]lock to many throwers. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 68 ---------- 68 KLIPSUN nnnnnnnnlnmn nnnIInII I IIImnII mlllllinn lllllnllllnnil nllm inl!I l ! u nsitinuln u mnm nilne m IIIIIIIntml l iinn allum Basketball Although little was known at the beginning of the season of the material from which Coach Carver was to develop a basketball quintet, the first game proved to basketball fans that B. N. S. this year would make all opponents show real speed to wallow the Blue and White in the dust. In all, there were about a dozen men who were almost equally efficient in basketball. So well did these men play the game that it was a puzzle for Carver to select the best five. At times the coach resorted to the art of coin tossing in order to give men a place on the squad. The first team men who made their letters were Jenkins (F.), Yorkston (F.), Inge (G.), Burpee (G.), Cone (C.), Mathes (C.), Wright (C.), Frank (G.), Crum (F.). SCHEDULE OF GAMES VANCOUVER Ex-NoHMIAL 19 - NORMAL 25 December 18 In a very speedy beginning game, Normal annexed a victory over the fast Northern quintet. FAIRHAVEN 10 - NoRMAL. 25 On January 5 the Blue and White met the Fairhaven team and easily gained a victory by a margin of fifteen points. VANCOUVER Ex-NORMAL 50 - NORMAL 24 January 15 The Normal squad journeyed to Vancouver to play a return game with their old rivals. The team played a scrappy game but were out-shot by the Canucks. This evened up the series, each team having a victory to its credit. The tie was never played off. WVHATCOM 23 - NORMAL 25 January 21 Friday evening, January 21, we saw one of the fastest games of the season, when the strong, husky, fighting Normal team clashed with the almost equally strong Whatcom High School five in the WVhatcom gymnasium. At no time during the game was entire victory anything other than doubtful. Each team played superb ball. When the gong rang at the end of the second half, 21-21 was announced. During the overtime period of five minutes, Jenkins, one of our star forwards, succeeded in caging two goals, while the perfect guarding of Burpee and Inge allowed our opponents only a single goal. When the final gong sounded hundreds of Normal fans went wild with rejoicing and the thunder of their rejoicing echoed through the streets of Bellingham for hours following the game. CHENEY NORMAL 26- BELLINGHAMI NORMAL 28 January 28 Our sister institution from the eastern part of the state was de-feated by the close score of 26-28. This game was characterized by thrills from the beginning. The local boys were in the lead the entire game, but there were times when a single field goal would have placed the visitors in the lead. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [69] ---------- f 40 xx b, ,71 +iF ire-; ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 70 ---------- 70 K L I P S UN C. P. S. 18- NORMAL 34 Normal added another victory to her list on the evening of Feb-ruary 5, when she men the strong team of the College of Puget Sound. Many complications arose during the progress of the game. ST. 'MARTIN'S 19 - NORMAL 23 A week following the game with C. P. S. the St. Martin's College men paid Normal a visit. This game, played in our own gymnasium, was a very speedy one and was probably the cleanest played game of the season. Last year the St. Martin's team showed the best sports-manship of any team appearing upon our floor and this year's repre- sentatives lived up to the standard set by their predecessors. WHATCOM 28 - NORMAL 23 February 18 Whatcom staged a comeback, winning the second game of the series. Had Normal won this game it would have placed Whatcom on the shelf for this year, but their failure made a third game neces-sary. The Fairhaven gym was selected for the battleground and the next Saturday chosen as the time for the conflict. WHATCOM 18 - NORMAL 22 Both teams were confident when Referee McBeth blew the whistle for the decisive contest. Normal took the lead and maintained it throughout the entire game. Although Whatcom rallied towards the end, Normal was never in very serious danger. The game ended with a Normal victory--22-18. FIRST GAME, CHENEY 21 - BELLINGHAM 19 SECOND GAME,. CHENEY 30 - BELLINGHAM 15 On March 2 and 3 the teams of the two sister Normal schools clashed two successive evenings on the Cheney floor. Fatigue and lack of sleep proved handicaps to our boys, consequently we lost both games. C. P. S. 23 NORMAL 25 March 5, Normal met C. P. S. in Tacoma and annexed the second victory of the year from this quintet. ST. MARTIN'S 34 - NORMAL 24 The following evening we played a fast game with St. Martin's squad, but were defeated by ten points. This victory for St. Martin's balanced accounts, as we beat them once before. This closed the games for the season, which we have every reason to consider a successful one, as we lost only five games out of the fifteen played. It would he unfair to close this discussion without congratulating the basketball boys for their spirit this season. Each man was on his toes every minute of each conflict. We must also congratulate Coach Carver for the splendid team he moulded into shape.

The first part of the season was a struggle between the Junior and Senior teams for the possession of the Kline Cup. The girls prac-ticed faithfully in order to obtain the beloved trophy. After two winning games, however, the Juniors were pronounced victors of the Kline Cup series. Much credit is due both teams and their coach, Miss Moffat, for the clean playing and sportsmanlike attitude of every p)layer. After the Kline Cup games the two teams joined forces and or-ganized one strong team to represent the school. Two practice games were played between the teams of the P. E. Major Club and the school, the school sextette being victorious both times. Five outside games were played, two with Whatcom High and three with Fairhaven High, which resulted in the attainment of the city basketball championship for the Normal team. Great credit is due the coach, MIr. Carver, for this victory represented difficult and faithful work. The other athletic activities of the girls were indoor baseball, swimming, tennis and archery. Early in the fall each class organized an indoor baseball team with MIr. Carver as coach. The Seniors were defeated by the younger class in two fast, closely contested games.

Although the Normal girls were defeated they played an excellent game and deserve a great deal of credit. NORMAL 36 FAIRHAVEN 24 On February 16 the Fairhaven girls camne over to the Normal {gym for a contest. They played a plucky game of basketball but were defeated by the older team and the fast Normal sextette annexed their first victory from an outside school. FAIRHAVEN 23 - NORMAL 16 The second game with Fairhaven High School was played on their floor February 23. Normal girls were defeated, making one victory for each team. NORMAL 30 - WHATCOM 28 The Normal team lived up to the prophecies of the wise and de-feated the fast Whatcom team on the Fairhaven floor February 26. When the final whistle blew the score was a tie. During a few added minutes of intense playing Elsie Minor shot the deciding basket and won the game for Normal. NORMAL 20 - FAIRHAVEN 25 The deciding game for the city championship was played on the Fairhaven floor, March 26.

L= ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [77] ---------- ,r~U~ ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 78 ---------- 78 K L IP S UN The Art Department Each year brings with it new opportunities to touch a part of the community not reached before, or perhaps fresh opportunities to touch old friends in new ways. The Art Department considered itself especially fortunate to bie able to meet so many friends at the Open House Day held early in January. The four rooms of the department were filled with regular class work, and, if one might judge from the expressions of the guests, proved to ble a revelation to many of what public school art means at the present time. There were many ex-amplles of typical drawing class products - landscapes, nature work and object drawing -but in addition there were the newer types of work that come into the course of the modern art class. For instance, there were posters advertising everything from a circus to real estate. There were examples of box making and bookbinding. There were specimens of toys made of wood or cardboard. Dollhouses suggested prol)lems in interior decoration. Simple stitchery in coarse fabrics suggested practical problems in design and color harmony. A col- lection of reed, matting, raffia and pine needle baskets attracted much attention and admiration. Throughout the afternoon and evening refreshments were served by the members of the Studio Art Club. The annual Art Exhibit in May showed the work accomplished during the winter and spring quarters. One notable feature was the splendid display of posters produced by the class in Commercial Art. These posters were exceptionally well worked out, original in con-ception and varied in subject. Another feature was an unusually rich and varied assortment of baskets. Many fascinating shapes adapted to a great variety of uses were noted. The weaving display was in-teresting, because the articles shown ranged from simple holders woven on cardboard looms made by the students to bags and pillows woven on the commercial looms, and using patterns of real historic interest. A class in handwork displayed a suggestive collection of articles that might easily be taught grade pupils, and which used materials and tools available in practically any school. The spring exhibit, as usual, attracted a large number of teachers among other visitors. Their busy notebooks attested the fact that these teachers in active service found the work shown to ble suggestive and practical. During the spring quarter the Art Department put out an Art Bulletin, sefting forth the aims and work of the department, its course of study, some discussions of art topics, and some suggestions for picture study in the grades. The Bulletin is beautifully illustrated, printed on buff eggshell paper, with a hand tinted cover. The Art Department has a large number of visitors during the course of the year. Their comments are often of great value, because ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 79 ---------- B1S-N *S sn unuuuuuuunn uunnull lllnmmuumululluln uu n llllllmmllll lmllulIIIIuletmlml liI I s ImIliaul n l lnlOUmnlll lll llllilllmllll they portray the reaction of the outside to the work accompllished. One distinguished visitor described it as one of the most important and interesting departments in any school. Another described the work of the department as the most " teachable " he had seen, surely a fine thing to have said of a department whose business is teacher training. A third declared this to be the best Normal Art Depart-ment on the Pacific Coast. But the most pertinent remark of all came from a small boy in the Training School, working under a prac-tice teacher, trained in the department, when he asked wistfully, " Why can't we draw all the time? " Looking backward, it seems safe to say that this has been the most progressive year the Art Department has had. There has been a large number of elective classes, more students, greater enthusiasm than ever before. Out of it art has come a greater incentive for more and better work in the years to come. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 80 ---------- o KLIPSUN ARTHUR E. BOWSHER HERBERT HANSEX Business Mlanager Editor First Quarter The Weekly Messenger The Messenger, official weekly newspaper of the Bellingham State Normal School, has been in existence for nearly twenty-two years, having been first established in 1899. At that time it was published but once every quarter. In 1903 it appeared as a monthly, growing both in size and popularity until 19161 when it entered the school news-paper class as a weekly. The Messenger is typically a student's paper, being entirely edited and managed by them with the advice and assistance of a faculty sponsor appointed by the president. The editor and business manager are elected by the Student Board of Control, the business manager serving an entire year and the editor in most instances serving but one quarter, although some editors have served longer terms. Members of the journalism class serve as reporters and staff officials. In the absence of other experienced applicants in September, the editorship was offered to Herbert Hansen who had been editor for two terms last year. While Mr. Hansen had not expected to be associated with the Messenger this year, he agreed to serve until another editor could be secured and learn the duties of the office. In December he tendered his resignation to accept the editorship of the 1921 Klipsun. During the second quarter the Messenger was very ably piloted b)y Catherine Shepherd. While Miss Shepherd had not previously been associated with the Messenger she had worked on the school paper in ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 81 ---------- IB-S"N SS CATI:HIN: SHEPuIIEn) Lois WV. ()SOHuN Editor Second Qu rter Edlitor Thirdl Qurtr high school and soon learned the various details of the work associated with the publication of our own weekly. At the close of the second quarter she was succeeded by Miss Lois Osborn, who is editor at the present time. Miss Osborn had demion-strated her ablility as a writer during the first and second quarters as a reporter on the Messenger staff. The business dealings of the Messenger were conducted by Arthur E. Bowsher. Mr. Bowsher was another of last year's experienced men, having served as assistant to the business manager then and as man-ager during the summer term of 1920. Much credit is also dlue to Miss Olive Edens of the English Depart-ment, who acted as faculty sponsor. Miss Edens gave freely of her time to aid in making the publication of the Messenger a success. Her helpful advice and kindly criticism were largely instrumental in mak-ing the Messenger a real student's paper. Throughout the year the Messenger has endeavored to print all the news of interest to students in the most interesting manner pos-sible. On the following page are reproduced some clippings showing the scope of work attempted by the Messenger. We hope that in future years they may serve as a pleasant reminder of the little paperl with which you became so familiar during your school dlays at B. N.

Place- An English country vicarage. the Iord Bishop Ray Buswell Arthur E. Bowsher Mrs. Botzer Helen Marshall Chas. Powell Arthur L. Huggins Herbert Hanse: One of the most pretentious dramas ever produced at Normal was undertaken by the Seniors this year. That the production was a com-plete success is due to MIr. Hoppe, who coached the cast who interpreted the difficult roles with merit and understanding, and the entire class who stood back of the production from when the choice of play was made until the final drop of the curtain. " The Servant in the House " is a big problem for any class to attempt, but it was staged and inter-preted admirably in the auditorium the evening of May 31st. The story, dramatically arranged, is the old one of reform in the church. Manson, the butler, who is "the servant in the house," locates the drain in the church that is causing the disagreeable odor, and goes beneath the foundation to remove it; likewise, he enters the Vicar's home and cleans it of evil by beginning as its servant. The lack of eagerness by which the Lord Bishop of Lancashire would accept reform, and the proneness of the guardians of the church to cover up the truths of Manson, only brought out stronger the real mission of the followers of Christ. From the ascent of the curtain the theme is vitally and splendidly carried on. Herbert Hansen as Manson, Chas. Powell as Robert Smith, Arthur Bowsher as the Vicar, Ray Buswell as the Lord Bishop, Arthur Hug-gins as the page, all did their parts in a highly satisfactory manner, while Mrs. Botzer as the Vicar's wife and Helen Marshall as Mary, their niece, held up splendidly the feminine roles. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 85 ---------- B S-N -S S1 nin umuu11.1noin u i IIIIII I IIIIe r.1Ii1 1m1 1i1. 111n1..1. 1111r 1111lI llainnin iI it ai lllolu ll1111.l. l I I I 1 The Junior Play CAST OF CHARACTERS George Minifie XWilliamii Westwood Dolly Cruickshank Sir Jasper Thorndyke Abraham Capt.

Again great credit is due Mr. Hoppe, who directed and selected the cast. So excellent was the acting that each character seemed to fit perfectly his particular part and costume. The story is one of sentiment and romance. The scene is laid in rural England, at the time of Dickens, and Queen Victoria. Sir Jasper, a wealthy bachelor, becomes the chivalrous i)rotector of an eloping pair, only to find himself in love with the girl in the end. How-ever, he puts aside his affection, and cherishes only a sprig of " Rose-mary - that's for remembrance," as he blesses the two young lovers. The acting of George Van de WVetering, as Sir JaspIer, was par-ticularly good, especially in the last act, when he appeared as an old man, re-living his past. On the whole the Juniors acquitted them-selves with distinction, and set a high mark for successive .Junior classes to follow. :: : ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 86 ---------- KL I P S U N The Little Princess Miss Minchin Mliss Amelia Phyllis Betty Nora Dottie Janet Mazie .

Bernadine Arant as the " Little Princess" was especially convincing. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 87 ---------- B.S-N -S s; Miss (G ERTiU D' EA ART, B. S. Superinten det of T'r inin School Training School A great laboratory is our Training School, furnishing, as it does, opportunity for the testing of student teachers who, under helpful and efficient supervisors mature into splendid workers for our state. Our Training School is guided by the following excellent corps of instructors: Miss Earhart, who is absent at Columbia, superintendent; Miss Morse, assistant superintendent and Junior High School; Miss Mont- gomery, superintendent primary department; Miss Moffat, first and second grades; Miss Bell and Mrs. Witten, third and fourth grades; Miss McDonald and Miss Gordon, fifth and sixth grades; Miss Craw-ford and Miss Wallace, seventh and eighth grades; Miss Lee, Mrs. Samson and Miss Aleek, city; Mrs. Kirkman, Geneva; Mrs. Wiley and Miss Keeler, extension department. The Training School consists of five delpartments, pre-primary, primary, lower intermediate, higher intermediate and Junior High School. The pre-primary and primary children have had a very regular attendance this year. Special programs were frequently given, especially in the month of February when Washington and Lincoln pIroved a rich field for these little ones. The children of the third grade, with great eagerness, tried a new experiment; they procured some pheasant eggs, which they set and raised wild game. These birds were liberated when they were able to take care of themselves. The third and fourth graders have been greatly interested in pro-ject problems. Among those of special interest were the Arab sand- ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 88 ---------- s KLIPSUN table and a logging scene. These children have also done some re-markable work in Roman and Greek history. Their projects in this work have covered such points of interest as Roman forts, the City of Athens, and cleverly illustrated booklets of Greece and Rome. The higher grades have displayed much talent in writing poems and compositions. A poem, " The Witches' Cave," is worthy of print: The Witches' Cave Down by the brook There's an uncanny nook Where the ghosts and The witches stay. If you watch at night, In the pale moonlight You can see the elfins play. Oh, it's a cave cold and drear Where the shadows lurk and The owlets peer That cave where the witches stay. Children who have wandered In woods at night, Have often seen A pale white light. The witches and ghosts Have caught them in hosts And carried them off In the dead of the night. In November the Junior High School presented an operetta called " The Indian Princess." This proved to be a great success. Since many of the children will not go beyond the grades, manual training, domestic science and agriculture have been emphasized in certain classes, in order that the vocational tendency of these subjects may be suggestive to the children in the choice of an occupation. The many activities in which the children have participated and the efficiency with which they have met all their daily tasks are proof that the student teachers are able to put their knowledge into prac-tice, and are able to meet the difficulties which present themselves along educational lines. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 89 ---------- BS-N-S lM lllII lllllnll lllllllllllllil lllllIl lil li lllIl l lll llIIlI llIi II n illllll lI llllI I Iilll l1ll1il1il1l 1I 1lllll 1li 1l 1lllllll llllll Iln IilI lllllllllliiililii I nll ll ll IIII lOII llilI lIl lllIlIIIIIIIII IIIII 1I1I iIIIIIIIIIII IIIII1}II III C.THomAO. During the past few years debate and oratory have taken the form of inter-class and inter-club contests; this year, however, Guy S. Allison, of San Francisco, and a former B. S. N. S. debater, offered a silver loving cup to b1e contested for in debate bythe normal schools of this state. Inter-class contests were dropped and all effort cen-tered on developing teams worthy of representing B. N. S. At the tryout held shortly before the Christmas holidays, the fol-lowing teams were chosen: Affirmative, Lambert Craver, Hilda Topp and Herbert Hansen, captain; negative, Gordon Squire, Reuben Alm and Elsie Minor, captain. Mr. Hoppe, as head of the Expression D)e-partment, was head coach; Miss Cummins, assistant for the affirma-tive, and Miss Boring, assistant for the negative. As Ellensburg Normal had dropped out of the contest for this year, negotiations were made with Cheney and the following question chosen: " Resolved, that as a prerequisite to the right of strike or lockout, employers and employees should be required to submit in- dustrial disputes to arbitration, the machinery to be provided by the United States Government." The date set was February 24, 1921, one debate to be held in Cheney and another in Bellingham on that date. The question as to which team should make the trip was left for Cheney to decide. The question soon showed itself to be very complicated, and a great deal of time and careful study was necessary to decide just what the main issues were. The work progressed rapidly, however, so that when February 24th arrived all were prepared and anxious to meet our opponents. On February 23 the negative team with its coach left for Cheney. Both teams were reasonably confident of their chances for victory and so were very much surprised at the result. At home the affirma-tive met the negative from Cheney composed of the Misses Bassett and King and Mr. Van de Meer. The Cheney del)aters, while somewhat lacking in argument, more than made up for the deficiency by a blril-liance of delivery which made them very convincing. A glaring con-tradiction in the negative's argument and the brilliant rebuttal of the affirmative seemed to spell victory for the home team, but the judges gave a two to one decision in favor of Cheney. The judges were Miss Corbett, of Burlington; 'Mr. Middleton, of Blaine, and the Rev. Randall, of Everett. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 90 ---------- o KLIP S U N LAMBEr CRAVER HILDA ToPr HIi:REERT HANSEN After the debate a reception was given by the Thespians for the debaters, judges and coaches. The Cheney team departed for home the next day, elated of course on account of their victory, but deeply im-pressed by the good sportsmanship of the Bellingham students. At Cheney the debate was a repetition of the one at home, the Cheney team being weakl in argument but strong in the presentation of material. The Cheney team was composed of William Durland, Ernest Betz and Martha Mallory. The judges were Mr. Rice and Mr. Blair, of Spokane and Mr. Baker, of Davenport. After the debate an informal reception was given for the debaters, at which the debate was gone over again, but no decision other than that given by the judges could l)e secured. The Bellingham debaters were much impressed by the hospitality and good-fellowship with which they were received. Although the results of this year's debates were not very encour-aging, it is to l)e hoped that with such contests assured, greater interest will be taken in the future, and that next year may see " Won by Bellingham" engraved on the Guy S. Allison trophy, and the trophy reposing in state at B. S. N. -REUBEN ALAi.

Excellent speakers from various parts of the country have addressed the assembly. The first number of the lecture course was given bly the Minne-apolis Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer, with Miss Florence Macbeth as soloist. A delightful programmn of classical numbers was beautifully given by the orchestra, while Miss Macbeth's voice was exceptionally delightful. The next number was given by l)r. James B. Balliet, Dean of the I)epartment of Education of the University of New York. Dr. Balliet's subject was " Education for the New Demnocracy,' in which he named four kinds of democracy, political, economic, indus-trial and social. " These democracies rose in protest against autocra-cies and war was the result." He compared the democracies of Eng-land and America. In his conclusion IMr. Balliet stated, " It is the duty of educated men and women to contribute their share in the making of public opinion, for education is training for leadership." D)r. WVm. Chandler Bagley, prominent author, ed(ucator and recog-nized authority on normal schools, was the third member of our lecture course. He gave three exceptionally interesting lectures. l)r. Bagley believes in the highest standard in the training of teachers, for the recognition of teaching as an ultimate profession, and for the ele-vation of the rural school. He stated that " teaching is the noblest of i)rofessions and the sorriest of trades." In comparing teaching with the fine arts he said, " the master artist is one who has the mastery of his material, and the teacher must strive to master his material." As our fourth number, Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans, the well known Welsh orator, gave a stirring lecture entitled " Lords of the Land." Although a Welshman by birth, educated in England, Scotland and Wales, Dr. Evans is an American by adoption. He told of the eternal struggles between the " blue blood and the red." He stated that in the future we must place a greater emphasis on intellectual and moral qualities. We must have an aristocracy blased on these things rather than on material wealth. Frederick Warde, the distinguished actor, author and lecturer, who has been called " the grand( old man of the footlights," fulfilled his reputation in his appearance as the fifth member of our lecture course. For more than half a century he has been a leading actor. His associates and contemporaries have been the foremost actors of the English-speaking stage, such as Adelaide Neilson, Charlotte Cush-man, Edwin Booth, etc. His lecture, " Fifty Years of Make-Believe," was a fascinating story of stage life in which Mr. \Varde revealed the American stage for the past fifty years. Joseph Lhevinne, the Russian pianist of international note, ap- peared in recital as the seventh member of the lecture course. He began his career when only fourteen years of age, when he had the opportunity to play before Anton Rulbenstein, at a concert. The great things which were predicted by the great Rubenstein for the boy, Joseph Lhevinne, have come to pass. He is now a p)ianist of the first magnitude. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 92 ---------- o K LIPSUN Musical Entertainments The Evening Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, gave a distinctly unusual and extremely delightful program in the Normal auditorium Monday evening, February 28. This was called " Ye Olden Tyme Concert." Ladies and gentlemen appeared in the characteristic dress of days of old. A very pleasing feature was the " Minuet," which was gracefully given by meml)ers of Miss Williams dancing class, Many beautiful and (quaint solos, duets and quartets delighted a large au(lience. THE NORMAL QUARTET The Ladies' Quartet, consisting of Pearl Ingalls, first soprano; Marian Chisholm, second soprano; Ethel Chisholm, first alto, and Ellen Reep, second alto, has given many pleasing entertainments dur-ing the year. Besides assisting in countless entertainments given in the Normal auditorium and in the city schools, this quartet has fre-quently ap)peared in nearby towns. Their programs consisted of quar-tet numbers, duets and solos, and piano solos by Miss Jones. The qluartet was organized by Mrs. Thatcher, whose efforts were instru-mental in making it a decided success. " IN INDIA" Without doubt the most delightful of all the musical features of the year was the operetta " In India," given by the Choral Club in the Normal School auditorium o nthe evening of May 9th. The produc-tion was under the direction of Mrs. Florence Fox Thatcher, and reflects great credit upon her and the members of the Choral Club that participated in the concert. As indicated by the title the operetta was distinctly suggestive of the Orient. The stage was beauifully decorated with a profusion of flowers and colored lanterns, while the brilliance of the costumes almost made the large and appreciative audience believe that they were having a glimpse of India. Pearl Ingalls as Mleerah, a beautiful dancing girl, delighted all her hearers. Other members of the cast included Eunice Coble and Hortense Yule, as Simla and Frimla, respectively, beautiful dancing girls Hazel Loree as How-Now, a hideous old woman; Ethel Chisholm as Veerah, the mother of Meerah, and Mae Guild, Frances Still and Vera \Vhite, who were exceptionally good as three other old ladies in the story. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [93] ---------- -4 , y r i j ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 94 ---------- 9K L IP S U N Philomathean Literary Society VOLUME II MAY 21, 1921 EXTRA Published by the Philomathean Literary Society EDITED BY MA RIGARET ZURBRICK The Philos again this year have had a busy and profitable time. Under the able guidance of President Herbert Hansen and Vice- President Josephine Hawley, the Philos began the year with an initia-tion of new members. O, many were the aches and pains in the fol-lowing days! The Philos' eleventh birthday party was held on the twentieth of November at the home of MIr. and Mrs. Philippi. This was a grand reunion; all had a " grand old Philo time." The club colors - green and white - predominated, and the birthday cake was cut by Presi-dent Hansen. The reins of government were taken over by Arthur Bowsher as president and Byron Samuelson as vice-president in the second quar-ter. They piloted the club through a successful period, including the reception in February to the C. P. S. basketball team. After the game the Philos and C. P. S. boys were delightfully entertained at the home of Eleanor Simpson. Success as dramatic artists was attained when the club staged the play " Owin' to Maggie " in the assembly. Bernice Day ably took the role of Maggie. The Philos held their place in community work this year. George Van de Vetering and Helen Marshall were Philo representatives. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 95 ---------- B-S-N-S 95 The third quarter found Ethel Sutherland as president and Marie Loga as vice-president. Through the combined efforts of the president, vice-president and Muriel Young, Captaine d'affaire, the annual ban-quet was held April 9 at the Hotel Leopold. For the second time this year Philos, old and new, came together to enjoy the fellowship. Early in May, with bag and baggage Philos, one and all, departed for Mr. Kolstad's cottage on Lake Whatcom. The thrills and joys of that house party will not soon be forgotten by any Philo. Again this year a Philo, Mr. George Van de Wetering, won first prize in the story contest. Ask any member of the club who is the best Philo. The answer is sure to be, " Mr. Philippi." He is our sponsor, advisor and ever willing helper in all our undertakings, and we feel he is indispensible to the Philomathean Club. "O the Philos are so jolly, 0 so jolly; The Philos are so jolly wherever they may be."

The successful new members proved to be versatile and capable in the production of plays, sketches and pantomime and talented in music and aesthetic dancing. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 97 ---------- B-S-N -S 97 The first meeting of the year was spent as a general get-together and jollification, where new Thespians were warmly welcomed and initiated into the spirit of the Club. Members of former years pro-vided the program for the evening and later served refreshments. Thespian songs and yells brought the evening to a joyful close. The club chose as its annual play this year, Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett's dramatic success, " The Little Princess," which was given in the Normal Auditorium in January, 1921, under the able direction of Mrs. Sidney Smith. The proceeds realized from this production were given to the Near East Relief Fund for the support of an orphan for a year. An evening to be remembered by all Thespians was that of the Cheney-Normal debate -- whfiereafter the club entertained and served refreshments to both teams and their judges. From time to time one-act plays and miscellaneous l)rograms were given before assembly audiences, among them being " The Little Irish Play " and " Land of Heart's D)esire." Many pleasant evenings were spent in studying plays and pan-tomiines under Mr. Hoppe's patient and faithful help and instruction. " The Chinese Dummy," a one-act farce, will be remembered for its mirthful incidents and eccentric characters, especially Miss Ella Amelia and Miss Artemicia. One meeting was devoted to the remembrance of James Whitconmb Riley, by a story of his life and the reading of some of his best known Hoosier poems. The dialect program proved a winner with its suc-cessful characterization of Italian, Swedish, negro and New England folk in costume. St. Patrick's Eve was gaily spent in an atmosphere of "Auld Ireland " at the home of Madeline Hess. Irish readings, songs and dances were appropriately given, in keeping with the day. In March the second Thespian tryout was launched; at the next regular meeting the new members were duly initiated into the work of the club. The program at this time proved to be especially good. A sketch entitled " Folk Lore " was given, the idea of which was suc-cessfully worked out by means of two or three folk dances and. several folk tales; among them were a novel Jataka folk story and a Russian fairy tale. Two cleverly produced pantomime studies, " Midas and the Touch of Gold " and " Little Snow White," brought the program to a close. Banquets are happy times and this year's gathering around the happy table brought the final chapter of 1921 Thespian life to a memor-able close. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 98 ---------- 98 K L I P S UN Alkisiah Club You shall hear of Alkisiah, Of the Woman's Clubs a member, Of events both sad and happy That have come to pass this year: Of a party this September, For the welcome of new members, That the time might pass more gayly, That the girls might be more joyous; Sumptuous was the feast that night time. To a ghostly Hallowe'en eve, Through the land of sprites and shadows Came the Alkisiah members. All the rollicking guests assembled, Clad in all their gorgeous raiment. Splendid was the program rendered To the student group assembled On the first day of December. Vit and laughter were abundant At the queer and clever meanings. Laugh with us at Wally's actions, Hear the speeches at The Pheasant,. Then farewell to parting members! ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 99 ---------- B'S'N'S 99 II In the dim-lit small gymnasium Were the terrors of initiation For the thirty-six fair sisters. And behold! the club was started On its second quarter's journey. As the holidays drew nearer In a group about the fireplace At Miss Baker's home they gathered, Singing songs of .joy and gladness Of the Christmas time so dear. Never bloomed the bulbs more gayly As that day they shone and blossomed And were sold by Alkisiahs. Oh, the fun of that gay evening As to Glendale for a program Went the Alkisiah Club. Soon upon them caine a sorrow, For a soul upon its journey To a far-off land was wafted -- Their great leader's life was ended. From the sunrise to the sunset Was her life a song, a triumnph. In remembrance of her service, For that reason and no other Lives of birds were held more sacred And a home for them created. As a symbol of her kindness For the world and all its people, Will the suffering and the sorrow Of our fellow-men be lightened In the haven on the camnpus, By a room so bright and cheery. The death of their dear sponsor Left the club in utter darkness. Groping thus in helpless wonder, 'Til Miss Wilson came to lead them. Bravely has she toiled to help them. To her go the thanks of Alkisiah!

During the first quarter a study was made of the presidential campaign as well as the Japanese and Irish questions. Later papers were prepared and read on women's position in art, music, medicine, law and politics, by Ina De Rose, Esther Moehring, Lita Layton, Anna Lungdahl and Catherine Joyce. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 101 ---------- B1-S-N -S 1,1 Two social events took place in the form of parties given at the school, one causing much merriment because of the resemblance of mnembers of the club to certain faculty members. Honorary members of the club, Miss Gordon, Miss Longley and Miss MacDonald, repre-sented masculine members of our student b)o(dy while Miss Crawford made a very efficient custodian. The biggest event of the Aletheia year was the assembly plrogram.

In the dedication of the bird sanctuary the club took an active plart and sang a selection com-posed for the occasion. The jolliest social event of the last quarter occurred when lhe members assembled early one fine morning and took the boat to Lummi Island for their picnic. Every minute of the (lay was enjoyed. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 102 ---------- 102 K LIPS UN Studio Art Club Studio Art! There is something in the name itself that suggests the training or refining of the moral and intellectual faculties, the pleasures of life, and best of all, the highest ideals for which our school stands. Each member is progressive, energetic and feels the responsibility of making the club grow and improve as the years go on. Under the efficient guidance of Miss Druse, development of ap-preciation and knowledge of art in various phases has been fulfilled to a wonderful degree. The work of the club has been changed with each quarter in order to cover as wide a field as possible. The first quarter was spent in the study of pencil sketching. The work of the second quarter took up the study of noted artists, and the different members of the club gave interpretations of the different reproductions of their work. The third quarter was spent in the study of the famous artists who have given their time and talent to poster work, as Maxfield Parrish, Coles Phillips and Howard Pyle. At each meeting of the club a short but very interesting and en-tertaining program has been given, followed by work, then the social hour which gave each girl an opportunity to meet and become more intimate with each member of the club. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 103 ---------- B.S-N-S 103 Studio Art Club Twelve little geniuses joined the Artists' Heaven, Marian ate a doughnut and then there were eleven.

Rural Life, - We! ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 105 ---------- The Rural Life Club is now in its seventh year and bids well to continue as one of the most enterprising clubs of the Blue and White. It is especially fortunate in having as sponsors two such earnest work-ers as Mr. Heckmann and AIr. Coughlin, and to them is due much of the club's progressiveness. The ghosts certainly beset the paths of Rural Lifers Hallowe'en night. Many were the obstacles club members were commanded to surmount, but the reward was a good lunch in the cafeteria, and a generally exciting evening. One of the most enjoyable and instructive evenings was the " Tour Through Italy." The Thespians joined with the Rural Life Club for that event and a wonderful time was had with D)r. Nash, as a calpalle and instructive guide, through the marvelous palaces and art gal-leries of that fascinating country. One Friday morning, in an assembly pIrogram, the Rural Lifers gave a very good demonstration of the important part a true rural school teacher may play in the affairs of a community. Their medium was a little play entitled " Rural Life." Beach parties, hikes and picnics have been enjoyed during Spring. True to the call of spring, the Rural Lifers answered her first invitation by having a picnic supper on Sehome Hill. Here they made merry until the setting sun bade them hasten homeward. Through its programs the club tries to make its club life a living symbol of the various activities its members may promote to enrich the lives of the rural folk in whose communities they may be called to serve. The club looked forward with great anticipation to the evening when it had as its honored guests several of the Normal Extension Workers, who were actively engaged in this field throughout the school year. Among the many things scheduled for the last few weeks of this busy quarter were several in which this club was vitally interested. The Rural Life Club was not found wanting in the Tulip D)ay parade because the co- operative spirit is one of the things the club stands for. The club congratulates its sister club, the Alkisiahs, on its idea of beginning the realization of a bird sanctuary, and is proud, indeed, to be given a place on the dedication program. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 106 ---------- o 1K L IP S U N ... ... .. ... ... .. ... ... .. ... . : : . ... ... .. ... ... .. ... ..... ... ... ..

S.N •S 1 Each Ohiyesa may look back upon the season of 1920-21 with complete satisfaction, knowing that the club lived up to its motto. The aim has been to promote further interest in literary work and the desired end was achieved. One of the most interesting features of the programs was a talk by Mrs. King, a former member of the club. She gave a very inspiring review of the organization and early history of the club. Another program consisted of the debate " Resolved: That uni-versal compulsary military training is a danger to the United States." Those supporting the affirmative were Mayme Bogdanoff and Mary Cutting, while the negative side was upheld by Julia Hall and Naomi Sandy. Both teams showed careful study of the question as well as a good deal of ability in debating. Operas also were studied. The story was given and then illus-trated by appropriate selections from the Victrola. Among the operas considered were " Tannhauser," by Pearl Ingalls, and " Madame But-terfly," by Margaret Stapleton. All enjoyed the star talks given by Miss Wallace out on the campus under the open sky. Some splendid musical material is in the club. Greatly enjoyed were the vocal solos by Pearl Ingalls and Lucille Parsons and the piano solos by Mayme Bogdanoff and Alma l)eierling. Also Augusta Ohlin's rendition of " The Perfect Tribute " showed considerable ability in the art of oral expression. For the assembly program the Ohiyesa, put on an Indian pow-wow which was one of the most successful of the club features of the year. The Indian tepee against a background of forest, with soft red lights made a very effective setting. Pearl Ingalls as chief welcomed back the daughters of the tribe from the White Man's school by the sea and was surprised with the learning which they had brought back, especially with such marvels of modern education as " reactions " and " motivation " and the " socialized recitation "; also with the musical talent as exhibited by Lucille Parsons in " Red Wing," which was prettily interpreted by Mayme Bogdanoff, and by Pearl Ingalls in " By the Waters of Minnetonka." The pow-wow closed with the club his-tory given by Edna Lass and the club song and dance by the club. Other enjoyable features were a candy sale, a picnic at Whatcom Falls Park and a theater party. The Ohiyesas feel that the work of the year has been most profitable and that the pleasantest memories they will carry away from the Normal will be in connection with the Ohiyesa meetings.

The purpose of this club was to promote fel-lowship and good will among its members, and also to aid in uphold-ing the high standards and spirit of the institution. For a short time this organization was known as " The Men's Auxiliary," but later took the name of " Hyiu Yakanati Club." During the year many social events were held by the organiza-tion which were among the best held by any organization of the school. Among the first was "The Get-Together " banquet, which gave the men students a better chance to get acquainted with the faculty. A high degree of fellowship was shown. Several genuine " stag " parties were held during the year, which will long be remembered by those present. At the beginning of 1921 the organization staged a " smokeless smoker," at which many athletic events were put on. During the third quarter a " smokeless smoker " was held by the Hyiu Yakanati Club and the boys of Whatcom High School at the high school gymnasium. Here athletic events were held between the two schools. Money was raised for the 1921 Klipsun of the Normal and the 1921 Kulshan of the High School. The evening was a great success and such a meeting will no doubt be held annually between the two institutions. It is the wish of the Hyiu Yakanati Club that its good work he carried on from year to year, and the present members of the organiza-tion wish for future members the greatest of success. - WILLIAM ELDER ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 109 ---------- B.S.N-S Choral Club Under the directorship of Mrs. Thatcher the Choral Club spent a very pleasant and profital)le year. The enrolled number has been about forty each quarter. Early in January the club rendered two selections for Open House Day, and gave excellent selections at both the November and the March comnmencement exercises. The latter part of the year was spent in preparing an operetta, " In India," given the latter part of April. The club is indeed grateful to Mrs. Thatcher, not only for her indefatigable and patient work, but for her inspiring attitude which spurred it to greater effort.

However, the vacancies were soon filled and an unusually successful year has been enjoyed. A social gathering was held the first Thursday, and a devotional meeting the first Sunday, led by Miss Sperry. The first Saturday afternoon the Association girls carried bou-quets and greetings to new girls; many lonely and homesick girls were made happy by these little remembrances. The annual reception to students and faculty was a very pleasing event. The guests entered through a large blue triangle and were received by the president of the Association, Dr. Nash, the members of the cabinet and advisory board Miss Longley, Miss Sperry, Mrs. Thomas Cole, Mrs. Ella Jones, Mrs. R. S. Simpson, Miss Mead and Miss Woodard. The idea of the blue triangle was carried out in the decora-tion of the rooms; bonquets of hydrangeas added to the color effect. After a delightful program, refreshments and games were enjoyed by many guests. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 111 ---------- B S N•S 111 Among the speakers who have spoken to regular meetings are Dr. Jessie McDonald and her assistant, Miss Saltau, from China; Dr. Bashalso, from China; Dr. White, of Seattle; Dr. Sutcliffe, of Chi-cago; Mrs. Cole, Miss Woodard, Miss Sperry, Dr. Harrison, Dr. Nash and Dr. Miller. The meetings led by our president and the girls themselves have been worth while and helpful. Especially interest-ing was the Japanese program led by Vivian Gunderson, May Clark and Lois Henderson, in costume. Beginning January 17 was held the thirteenth annual Bible Insti-tute. Many girls enjoyed the opportunity of hearing two splendid Bible teachers, Mrs. Campbell and Dr. Sattler. This year the Bible study committee organized nine Bible classes, conducted by faculty members or Bible teachers living near the campus. Miss Woodard taught a class during the noon hour for Bellingham girls. The topic for study this year was the Book of Acts. Among the special features was a delightful " kid party " given during the Thanksgiving recess, and the Easter Sunrise Service on Sehome Hill; also a Seabeck conference entertainment in connection with the city Association, given at the Normal. The most impressive of the social functions of the Y. W. C. A. for the year was the old-time banquet, held in the domestic science rooms, Saturday, April 2. Many former students were present, and recalled the inspiration of former years. The guests were led into the dining room by Dr. Nash and Ethel Sutherland. After a delicious supper Miss Sutherland acted as toastmistress. Each toast represented a woman of the Bible. (1) " Deborah," Florence Swanson; (2) " Mary Magdalene," Miss Gordon; (3) " Ruth," Vivian Gunderson; (4) " Mir-iam," Georgina Sharples; (5) " Mary of Bethany," Alma Burdick; (6) "Esther," Alice Brown, student secretary of the Northwest field. Officers chosen for next year assure the fact that the future work will be carried on as successfully as in the past. The officers for 1921-22 are: Lois Henderson, president; Alma Burdick, vice-presi-dent; Judith Ring, secretary; Frances Rosenburg, treasurer. The Association appreciates the enthusiasm of its president, Flor-ence Swanson, and the loyal support of all other cabinet members. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 112 ---------- 11 L IIP S I N P. E. Major Club The P. E. Major Club is composed of a group of girls who realize that health is a prerequisite of every real accomplishment, and are working toward ideals in correct posture, dress, scholarship and good sportsmanship. Out of last year's group but five mnembers were left to stir up the old enthusiasm. However, at the first of the year twelve members were initiated; Pauline Bornstein elected president. To show the high esteem in which the directors of the club, Misses Moffat and W\illiams, are held, they were presented with P. E. Major rings at a luncheon in their honor. Pearl Whitmore was chosen president of the second quarter. A hike to Toad Lake was thoroughly enjoyed. A girl that has been a P. E. Major girl once will know that in this pursuit of happiness she always gets what is good for her. P. E. Major days become more than a happy memory stored away for future reminiscences. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 113 ---------- ,,,, ,,,'1,,,', ', 'n,, ,1, m,',,,,,n,um',m,u''m im,r{S,m,mn r,,, n,nun,m imm'imi'nnu'mmummw :nin.i'm' niiinm miiiiiininnn ni{imiiiimimiiiii iiii'i ii niiinn u nu1 in nm1in im !n nm~ m m inim m nmnr:mm nn i :m n!n nnnmn mn n im iiininn inn iin nimii iiiiimiiniii iiinn iiii1nin Edens Hall The girls of Edens Hall have but one regret - that their Garden of Eden remains Adamless. Nevertheless, this fact has not dampened their spirits; in fact, it has added to the fun. The costumed Hallowe'en and Valentine parties were unusually lively and entertaining affairs this year. Just before the Christmas holidays Edens Hall had its annual candle-lighting ceremony. The girls, dressed in white and carrying lighted candles, marched through the house and into the dining hall, singing carols. The boxing and wrestling matches, nightly frolics with the rats, spreads, secret meetings, slumber parties and fire drills, that called one out of bed into the cold night air, will never be forgotten. Many attractive hikes, picnics and beach parties were enjoyed during the Spring months. The splendid altruistic spirit of the girls makes their relationships that of a large family. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 114 ---------- ,,,KLIPSUN rurllu nuu ru m i ;i mururu l llllllrlull ll lllll: ~iurn n iui lunrllur luriu rI lrl lmlIl lllllli n I Iim i lnlr lrlinluil lmllm nl lll lllllllllil lrnl[lnl llllllum llllli nl lllillunnnln lil ulnIlnl nl llr llnl llillil ~llllllli i :nuumrrurrrnlu rrtruiurmr irmulrr iIr lm lrlnimln nl iillllllllirlrl lnlinlir rurr rii rumltlllmwniu ni uwlu u ll Young Housekeepers The Young Housekeepers were organized by Miss Woodard in 1918 for the promotion of fun, friendship and physical fitness. Its membership includes all women students who do their own house-keeping. At the regular meetings a taste for the best in, literature and music is cultivated by contributions from members of the organiza-tion. This part of the program is followed by a study of some im-portant household topic. This year a series of three studies presented by charts took up the following subjects: The proper amount) of food, the proper variety in foods, the relative value of foods at a uniform cost. At one meeting one family presented a well-balanced menu for a Normal girl's luncheon, Nichols Hall prepared the menu for a Sun-day dinner and The Cedars prepared a menu for a Thanksgiving din-ner. At another meeting the various " families " prepared a Normal girl's budget for the spring quarter. Nichols Hall prepared the budget on the basis of $100 " with a trunk full of clothes." The Dodd family used $200 as a basis, including clothes. The mid-winter picnic is an annual affair with the Young House-keepers. A well-balanced picnic dinner is prepared by the members and served at minimum cost. The program provides that every minute shall be crowded full; acquaintances are made, friendships are formed, and the spirit of laughter, of unrestrained fun and sheer happiness run riot. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 115 ---------- B-S-N-S 1; 11111111111111111111111111 1111 11111111 111 111I111I11 1 11 11t11 1 11 1I1II I I 1 11II1II IIIIII II IIIII III III II II IIIr il lllllIl lIIlI{ Il Il Il tIl IlIlIlII lIlIlII iIJ IiII I I Business Girls' League The Business Girls' League was founded by Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, in 1917, to protect the interests and promote the welfare of young women who have the courage to engage in some form of remunerative work while attending school.

Studies of Marshall Field, the National Cash Register Company, the Goodyear Rubber Company and Armour and Swift were presented. At another meeting the great national problem of unemployment was studied. Two social meetings have been held this year. On November 20 a large get-together party was held at which every game was some-thing new. The spirit of play ran riot, and girls who were holding down two jobs played as little children. On March 19th occurred the League's fourth annual banquet. A long white table in the shape of an " I " (for independent), boxes of beautiful daffodils and delicate greenery, jaunty shamrocks for place cards, rows and rows of happy, smiling, chatty girls, songs and more songs, toasts wistful and tender, clever and jolly. Oh, that was a memorable time! ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 116 ---------- ItI, llll I I III II IIIlllI l l llllllll l l ll llKllII l IIILI l lIlPlllSlll l U IICNllllll l l IIIIllIll lI ll Home Economics Girls The Home Economics majors shown in the above picture take eight required courses, with practice teaching in the intermediate grades and Junior High of the Training School, and at Geneva. Dur-ing the past year twelve majors have graduated and now hold good positions. Many other girls take from two to three classes in Home Economics as elective work. Miss Gertrude Longley is the head of this growing department; Miss Esther Clark was associated with the work for over two years until Miss Linda Countryman came in at the end of the first quarter to take her place. This department has charge of the Normal cafe-teria, which serves daily lunches to faculty and students at as near cost and with the greatest variety possible. The advanced cookery class frequently entertained at luncheon for members of the faculty, or extended the privilege of a luncheon at a nominal price. For " Open House Day" exhibits were prepared and cookery demonstrations were carried on both afternoon and evening. Social times have not been neglected; two parties were given at the school for all girls in Home Economics classes, and one party for the majors, given by Miss Longley at her home. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [117] ---------- mmm - mmm m m - i4~ r 4y =E= TT I ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 118 ---------- S K LIPS UN The Last Act FIRST PRIZE STORY By GEORGE VAN DE WVETERING Sombre and bleak was the scene. It had rained all day and now with the coming of twilight the wind increased and sighed mourn-fully over the desolate landscape. The dead trees, like ghostly skele-tons, shook their naked branches crazily. The gaunt black stumps scowled (lismally under the dark frowning masses of clouds. The low whistling of the wind sounded like a dirge, then, as it arose, like the cry of fiends, ending in a lamenting wail of despair. A woman, her figure concealed by a long clumsy water-proof, made her way along the old abandoned skid road. Nimbly she jumped from one skid to another. She went on for some distance, then left the road and turned into a narrow path winding in and out among the stumps. She leaped across mud puddles and almost fell over exposed tree roots. The path turned once more and there before her in a little hollow was a small shack, its light just visible from under the partly lowered window shade. Near the shanty stood a large cedar trees. Like a lonely sentinel it watched over the devastated landscape. Quickly the woman bounded up the tiny porch, knocked on the door, opened it and entered the room. A little chubby boy of about five, who had been playing on the floor, hastily abandoned his toys and with outstretched arms ran towards her. " Oh! It's Jennie," he shouted. " You are going to take me along, aren't you? " Jennie had removed her dripping coat and, taking the little fellow in her arms, kissed him. " Yes," she said, "if daddy will let you go." Then turning to the man sitting in an easy chair near the table: "And how are you today, Henry? Isn't this weather awful? Real Washington winter weather, isn't it? You'll let me take Eddie to the social out at the school house, won't you? I know it's bad out; but we can ride along with one of the men, and I'll take good care of him." As she spoke she looked across the dimly lighted room. The walls were covered with gray felt paper. The ceiling was of rough unplaned boards. The floor was uncovered save for a strip of rag carpet before the table. A well filled book case, on the top of which was a small statue of Rodin's " The Thinker," stood on one side of the table. On the other side were the stove and some shelves holding a few packages of groceries, some dishes and kitchen utensils. A curtain on the far-ther side of the room separated the bed room from the living quarters. The shaded lamp on the table softened the harsh lines of the room and brought out the figures of the occupants in a manner that would have delighted Rembrandt. It was a picture of contrasts. The girl was sitting near the stove, the rosy-cheeked lad on her lap. She was about twenty-four, not at all pretty, but she had a frank, sensible face. Her dark hair and brows set off her clear healthy complexion. She was one of those strong, practical, natural girls, satisfied with life as she found it. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 119 ---------- B-S.N -S S The man looked at her as she spoke. His deep set eyes, dark and intense, shone with an almost ghastly light from under his black, prominent eyebrows. Even in the rather faint lamp light it was noticeable how gray and haggard his face was. The blackness of his hair enhanced the pallor of his cheeks. The nostrils of his long, straight nose were distended with rapid breathing. His sensitive mouth opened and closed spasmodically. With one thin hand he stroked his chin, while the other one traveled irritably over the arm of his chair. For a few seconds they sat without speaking, then the girl arose impetuously and flung her arms around the man's neck. " Henry, you are not worse, are you? " she cried. " I won't go. I'll stay here with you." Then to the boy who was tugging at her dress, " We won't leave daddy, will we? " The man looked at her and then at the boy. " No, no, Jennie," he said. " I am not worse; I am all right; you must go and take Eddie. I want to be alone and do some writing. Now, son, come and kiss daddy." The boy who had moved around impatiently came and put his soft face against the hollow cheeks of his father. Quickly he wriggled out of his embrace, eagerly put on his overcoat and hat and ran to-wards the door. He was followed by Jennie, who, after putting on her coat, re-turned once more. She took the invalid's yellow hands in her p)lump, rosy ones, and looking into his eyes said, " Henry, you're sure it's all right? " He released one of his hands and stroked her hair. " Yes, it's all right, Jennie," he replied. She kissed him, then walked rapidly to-wards the door, took Eddie by the hand and closed the door behind them. He was alone. He heard the patter of the rain on the roof, the moaning of the wind and the swish of cedar branches against the cabin. With burning eyes he stared at the dark window-panes from which the rain was streaming down. And in this murky void he saw the vivid reflection of the past. He had lived most of his life in Seattle. As a boy he had helped to wait on customers in his father's grocery. Even then he had high ideals, rather indefinite and vague. Sometimes he was to be a great poet or dramatist, or perhap)s an orator, a revolutionist showing the people the great injustices and wrongs of society. Then again he would be a missionary laboring humbly but heroically on some spicy tropical island, or he would paint a great picture depicting truths more sublime than anything ever thought of before. Many things had stirred his imagination. He liked to go through the busy glittering streets and observe the throngs of people. He felt the poetry in the clanging of the street cars, the jostling of the crowds, the cries of the newsboys. In the busy public markets he watched the servile Japanese selling their wares to superior housewives. At the docks the steamers from the Orient and from Alaska gave him visions of strange, far-off places. Best of all he loved to go to the old part of the city beyond Pioneer Square. Here there was a motley crowd of humanity, mostly men, rough, picturesque miners fromn the North; uncouth, brawny loggers with hairy chests exposed, rollicking, boyish sailors, foreign looking, ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 120 ---------- 12o KLIPSUN uuuu 111111w111 1111111 1111 u11111111 u lll ll ll flll 11 ll nU UUn ml l nu mm nlm r lllll ll Ul lnll Ull lllllllllllllmllln lh ulIlgul lnnllll , IIII IIIIIIiI I Iii lil Vil il l 1l I1 lI1l1 I 1 I1I IIIIIIHII IIIII1II1II1I1I1 I1I IlI IIIIIIIIVII II:I 1 1 :I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIi1lllllll IIIIIIi 111 IIIIII IIII IIf bearded individuals, harranguing groups of loafers. There were saloons and dance halls and women with hard, painted faces. There were quaint book stalls containing outlandish periodicals and paper-covered books with suggestive titles. In the evening he would climb the steep side streets until he reached some place from whence he was able to look down on the heart of the city beneath him. And as he saw the many lights and heard the roar of the streets below, he was strangely moved. There was something within him ever groping, vainly trying to express itself, but always he found himself impotent to do so. Upon finishing high school he had wanted to go to college. Cir-cumstances, however, had prevented him. He looked for a job, and soon found employment as a grocer's clerk. Within the next two years he worked as a wailer at a down-town lunch counter, as a filing clerk at Sears Roebuck's and finally as a seller of neckties at the Bon Marche. Then his great adventure came. He fell in love with a dreamy little brunette who sold kid gloves, in a detached, impractical way. Soon they were married. Together they had written verse, rather bad, but still not quite bad enough to be good. They read much fiction, drama and poetry. They took walks, went to the movies and sometimes to shows at the Metropolitan. Very happy they were in spite of certain indefinite longings and desires which both had. When their baby was born all these vague surgings were crowded into the background. The war came but did not directly effect their happi-ness. All at once came the influenza epidemic. A pall of gloom was over the city. Like the black death of old it crept stealthily on and on. It entered their home, and the little mother was taken ill and a few days later died. Thq husband was heartbroken. Bravely he went to his work each day. Serenely he smiled at the customers as he showed them the gaily colored ties. At evening he returned to the little flat, weary and forlorn. There his little boy awaited him and after the two had eaten their lonely meal he tried to find relief by putting down his thoughts on paper. Spring came and he decided to leave the city. He could not bear to stay any longer when so many things reminded him of the past. He had once made an auto trip from Seattle to Vancouver, British Columbia. He remembered a certain place not far from the boundary line, a beautiful slope covered with tall firs and cedars with a little clearing nearby through which ran a merry, rippling brook. A little deserted cabin was there with a few scraggly apple trees around it and one tall, magnificent cedar tree. He remembered it quite well. 'rhere he and his boy would go. He could have some chickens perhaps and a cow, or he might be able sometimes to work at nearby farms. During his leisure time he would write. He had suffered and there close to nature he would learn to express himself. He found the place just as he imagined it. Once it had been on the Pacific Highway, but other roads having been paved it was now quite isolated. He found no difficulty in renting the place from the farmer who had formerly lived there, but who had built a pretentious bungalow on another corner of his farm. Soon the shanty had been made livable and his life of peaceful monotony began. The neighbors had left him alone, thinking him a ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 121 ---------- B SS N S queer person slighly off. Together father and son had roamed through the woods, picked berries and fished in the brook. Again a change suddenly came. Why should mighty forests be left intact for eccentric individuals to enjoy, when lumber is so very costly? All these giant trees, some centuries old, were they not there to provide lumber for people at home and abroad? So thought a cer-tain lumber company and soon the work of destruction began. Men came and cleared a small space, built shacks, brought machinery and constructed skid roads. Soon the quaking of the ground accompanied by dull thuds announced the violent deaths of the powerful monarchs of the forest. The hoarse cries of the loggers and the sharp impudent whistle of the donkey engine echoed through the woods. As a persis-tent and monotonous undercurrent, came the querrelous, whining buzz of the circular saws in the mill. With these sounds mingled the odors of a lumber camp, the pungent smell of sawdust, the sickening odors of tar paper covering the shacks, and the smell of greasy cook-ing inside. The once mossy ground was covered with refuse. The brook was filled with empty cans, ashes, decayed vegetables and filthy rags. Small boys and girls with unkempt hair and grubby hands, perpetually eating big slabs of bread and jam, were playing about on piles of logs. Disheveled women were sitting on the thresholds reading novels by Bertha Clay or " The Duchess." And so gradually Henry Roberts had seen his little paradise change into an ugly, sordid waste of land. He had suffered keenly at first but later he had become impassive. He had been ill with a chronic disease for some time. He consulted the physician of the nearby town who told him plainly that there was no hope. He spent many sleepless nights thinking of what was to become of his boy. Then he met Jennie. " Cookhouse " Jennie the people of the lumber camp called her, in order to distinguish her from other Jen-nies. She with her mother had come to run the cookhouse. She had seen little Eddie playing near the brook and talking to him had found out that his father was sick. She had brought him various dainties and had stopped to talk to him. She was different from the other women of the camp. Although not at all educated, she was naturally refined and modest. Her practical, simple mind had a calming in-fluence on his feverish, morbid brain. She read his poetry, and although she did not understand it, she thought it was wonderful. He told her about his ambitions and she told him about hers. One winter she had spent in the county seat and there taken a course in steno-graphy, but her fingers had not been very nimble and she had gone back to cooking. She laughed as she said it. The friendship between them ripened into love. She knew that he could not live long; he knew that she knew, but neither one ever spoke of it. There was a tacit understanding between them and he no longer feared for his boy. Perhaps some day his son would be what he had hoped to be. He had never known how to cope with life. He had had imagination, had suffered, had keenly felt the beauty and pathos of life, but lacked the power to express himself. God! the futility of it all; the curse of having just enough imagination to be mediocre. Nothing had been accomplished and now the end. He feared it; he shrank from it. There in the dark the spectre waited for him, was coming, was seizing him by the throat. He gasped for breath. He turned his face from ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 122 ---------- 1KLIPSUN the window. What was that lying on the table? Oh, it must be the mail that Jennie had taken out of the mailbox. A catalog of books very likely or a manuscript returned. So many of his writings had come back. No, no, it was a small envelope. What was the name in the corner? The publishing firm to whom he had sent his drama " The Weary Quest." Feverishly his thin hands tore open the en-velope. Rapidly he read the letter. He fell back in his chair breath-ing fast. Good God! Could it be true? It dazed him, but the words " acceptance - great possibilities - royalty " flashed vividly through his brain. What did they say about the last act? He read it again - " Last act too tragic - change it - happy ending - people don't like sad endings - too much tragedy in real life." What did they mean? Slowly he realized it. They wanted him to alter the last act. That was it. He laughed bitterly, mockingly. " Too much tragedy in real life. Damn it, I'll not change it. People don't like sad endings, Ha! Ha! " He looked out the window. There was no longer any rain streaming down the panes. What was that light, that ghostly light? Was it the spectre of death waiting fod him? Again he felt that chok-ing sensation. It was coming, coming - he felt it. He got up. Where was the light? He could not see it. He groped for the lamp. God! it was all dark and cold - dark and cold. He wanted air: he was chok-ing. He tried to shriek. Backwards he fell in his chair, drops of sweat running off his face. The lamp had gone out. The pale moon peeped in through the window and lighted up the man's face. He opened his eyes, then closed them. A black cloud obscured the moon. The rain beat against the window. The tragedy was over. The cur-tain had gone down on the last act. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 123 ---------- B- S -N -S Our Home Beside the Sea FIRST PRIZE POEM By J.

They ran a miners' boarding house among the hills of California. The men --- dark-skinned, handsome fellows who worked in the mines- seemed, when I first met them, as remote from " my sphere " as though they had come from another planet; yet the width of a countryside road was all that lay between their house and the superin-tendent's stylish, modern bungalow opposite. I often surveyed them with disdain from behind the folds of my living room curtains, comparing our own generous expanse of well-kept lawn and tastefully arranged flower beds with the yard of the miners' cottage, where chickens, ducks and a goat or two roamed about in a comradely fashion, disturbing no one's sense of neatness or order but my own. The only evidence of care visible about their whole establishment was apparent in their vegetable garden, weeded and watered with fidelity and devotion by every member of the house-hold, and guarded by patched and rudely spliced lengths of " chicken wire " fencing. Two frowsy children slipped shyly in and out our immaculate white gateway every day, as I had not been able in common kindness to refuse them our table scraps to. feed to their menagerie of pets. My thrifty soul abhorred the thought of waste and it was really a con-venience, so I spoke with Christian kindliness to the children, but further than that we remained strangers, and " aliens." Their dogs yelped or bayed at the moon at night, disturbing our slumbers, and a husky Plymouth Rock rooster performed for us the offices of a Big Ben with ceaseless regularity. From the broad veranda of our neighbors every evening came the sounds of chattering foreign tongues, loud laughter and the squeal of an accordion on which the performer played but one tune, never bet-ter, never worse. The beer wagon stopped at their gate with alarm-ing frequency and stout, hearty fellows were always ready with strong young arms to bear heavy cases and barrels of beer and wine to the cool regions of the earth cellar beneath the old house. On Sundays and holidays jovial voices proclaimed the worship of Bacchus with song and dance, while libations of " Dago red " were poured copiously at his shrine. We saw little of the women, except as they idled about the littered veranda or hung line after line full of coarse, dark garments in the yard on wash day. Occasionally a pretty black-eyed girl would be seen walking with one of the young men past our gate on Sundays, and, decked out in holiday finery- gay hat, bright sweater and white shoes -would essay a brilliant smile and a broken English saluta-tion. But with the proneness of many " good " women to unconscious snobbery, I continued to live aloof and exclusive behind my little ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 125 ---------- B.S-N-S 125 111111111In111I1I1I 111111111111 1111 1 11II I I!n1i i m I. m 1 1 1 i 1 iII II wall of race- prejudice, perhaps the natural result of undiluted Anglo- Saxon blood and Puritan training of several generations of forebears, shutting me away from the opportunities of doing good or being of service in the great work of Americanization. That was where I was living on the memorable day when, by reason of our country's going into a " state of war " with a European power, patriotic Americans were asked to demonstrate their fealty. The little town was ablaze with flags and bunting, and we were, with pardonable pride, sending our own handsome new " Red, White and Blue" to the top of a fifty-foot pole, when a loud cheering and handclapping attracted our attention to the family across the way - our neighbors, the " aliens." A crowd of swarthy young men and laughing girls were standing about the house cheering boisterously--not at our flag as we had imagined, but with absorbing interest in the activities of a small boy who was being lifted on the shoulders of his stalwart father to the gable of the roof. Even as we stood watching them they mounted a short ladder and the child was held higher in his father's arms, and, encouraged by the cheers, nailed a little cheap printed American flag where it might tlutter in the morning breeze. There they floated - our beautiful, costly banner at the head of an expensive pole, and the cheap little cotton imitation of the most glorious flag in the world on the miners' cottage. My heart suddenly swelled as a sudden thought stabbed me with painful acuteness, and my eyes stung with hot salt tears. The super-intendent turned to laugh at my amazing change from gaiety to tears which streamed down my cheeks unheeded as I seized his hand and pointed across the road, smiling, yet sobbing: " Look! look! They - they are our people too! I never thought of it before! Not ' aliens' but Americans!

The wild birds sang for her, The sunshine danced for her On shimmering pool; And breezes cool Their cups of perfume Spilled upon the brim of day.

What is that quality, possessing which we are a useful, inseparable link in the chain of brotherhood, and lack-ing which we stand an outcast in society? There is an invisible something in our makeup that urges us to perform rightfully a two-fold set of duties; those we owe to our-selves and those we owe to our fellows. That something which is the sum total of all the qualities that lend to our makeup is character. It is a quality that is being formed every day of life, either con-sciously or unconsciously. It may be modified or transformed in a thousand ways. Every thought that has ever flitted through the mind has had its influence upon character. Every act which is a direct outgrowth of thought contributes to its aid. These thoughts which we entertain should be well chosen, from infancy throughout life. Too often we allow ourselves to think upon the trashy things of life, but were we gifted with the power to pene-trate the future and could discern the effects of ill-directed thoughts upon our being, I'm sure only the good would be retained and the remainder discarded. Carlyle has said, " Thoughts are stronger than artillery parks and back of thought is love, which at least moulds the world like soft clay." In our own generation there are examples of men whose charac-ters will stand the test of ages; such a one is that of the highest official in our land, President Warren G. Harding. It was his clean, wholehearted thoughts, his great respect and his ardent love for his best friend on earth, his mother, that prompted him to present her with a bouquet of beautiful flowers every Sunday morning until she was summoned to death. It was his love for all mankind, his policy never to criticize too severely and his desire ever to do right that has gone a long way toward the making of his great character. It must have been character, true moral courage and complete conviction of principle that prompted MIr. Bryan to stand at the San Francisco convention, in the face of organized opposition and news-paper critics and hurl into that throng of opponents his well founded ideas of a democratic form of government; and although too vigorously opposed and " rolled in the dust," he was big and brave enough and sufficiently possessed of character, not to have his convictions trampled under foot. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 127 ---------- These two examples of character are representative only of men of our day. Others might be cited, such as our own Miss Baker, whose recent death, after a long life of real service in the world, saddened this school. It was her little deeds of kindness, her love for every-thing in nature, her complete devotion to service toward human kind and her supreme faith in the works of the Almighty that constructed a character we cannot forget. Let us labor in performing the daily task of life and guide our thoughts and actions so that that enviable quality, character, may take shape and grow; remembering that the light of character is dimmed by evil thoughts and acts, but shines more brightly for having done some good; remembering also that character endures through-out defamation in every form, but perishes when there is a voluntary transgression. Then at the end, it may indeed be said " the world is not so warm because another heart has grown cold, the world is not so bright because another light has gone out." ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 128 ---------- ,Y KLIPS UN The Helpful Collie SECOND PRIZE ESSAY By ELSIE PLEMMONS It was a hot summer day, and when I say that it was an Eastern Washington summer, you will know that it was hot. It was Sunday afternoon and Mrs. Williams had on a fresh, clean dress, and sat in the coolest place she could find, which was on the east porch of her home. A grain field lay in front of the house and back of it rose a steep, partially wooded hill. Out in the midst of this grain field there were six little pigs running here and there and apparently having the time of their lives. All at once Mrs. Williams saw them. She jumped to her feet. Her husband was away, and that meant that she must get the pigs out of the grain field and safely back into their pen. She was filled with vexation and she stamped her foot. She was clean and comparatively cool, but what would she be by the time she had chased six pigs over forty acres of ground, that ground a fine volcanic ash, into which she would sink to her ankles at every step? Mrs. Williams had on her new low shoes, too. Vexation is too mild a term to use. She lost her temper entirely and said unpleasant things about pigs, and particularly mean things about her six pigs. She also had remarks to make about the cruel fate that had cornered her in this fashion, on the one day when she had had time to don a clean frock, and to sit down in the shade. Then she remembered the dog, and she called to him, bidding him bring the pigs out of the grain field. But in her anger, she used a hard and stringent tone, and the dog, a beautiful, sensitive Collie, cowered at the sound of her voice, and his expressive face showed misery. He thought she was scolding him and he knew not what he had done to deserve it. She bade him go and bring the pigs, and her voice rose in a shriek, when she saw he did not move. Then she paused. The look on that dog's face brought her to a realization of what she was doing. No words that a human being could have spoken, could have brought her injustice home more clearly. The misery ex-pressed in that poor animal's eyes, as he looked upon her, was too overwhelming. He could not understand. Oh! he wanted to do what she wanted him to do, but he could not understand what it was, or what he had done that was wrong! He only was sure that she was scolding him. Mrs. Williams' shriek died away. For the moment she forgot the pigs. She gently called the dog by his name. He wagged his tail and came to her. The troubled look left his beautiful eyes. Mrs. Williams patted his head and begged his pardon, and then in kindly tones of explanation, she pointed out the little scurrying pigs in the distance and starting down the path with him, bade him get them out of the grain. And he did. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 129 ---------- B-S-N-S 1-9 October I - The first get-together mixer was held by the Students' Association.

With this object in view the Klipsun staff has worked hard and faithfully. Their trials and tribulations have been many, but their reward is correspondingly great in the satisfaction derived in working for their school and class. We wish to thank all those whose willing co-operation and hard work have made the publication of this book pos-sible. Especially do we wish to thank Miss Druse, under whose guidance the students of the Art l)epartment made the etchings which appear throughout this volume. Much credit is due to Carrie Thomas, art editor, and Mary Middle-kauf, who submitted the cover design, and various others. We also wish to thank Miss Edens, literary sponsor, who gave so freely of her time, correcting the literary material for publication. The business firms engaged in the publication of the Klipsun have co-operated with the editor in every possible way. The splendid pictures are the results of clear prints from the Brown Studio and efficient engraving work by the Seattle Engraving Co. The promptness of both these firms greatly facilitated the work of the editor. The printing this year was again in the hands of the Union Printing, Binding Stationery Co., Mr. C. S. Beard, manager, and Mr. B. E. Shellebarger, shop foreman, who had direct charge of the work, have done their utmost to make the publication a success. Once again we extend to all our appreciation and our thanks. -- HERBERT HANSEN, Editor. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [140] ---------- TUDIV KT AOV T'mr Toy" AR~P V6 U ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 141 ---------- B-S. N- S The Business Manager Says When work was first begun on the Klipsun for this year, a dark cloud seemed to hang over the horizon. War conditions still remained at the same level as when the armistice was signed; that is to say, business condi-tions were uncertain, prices fluctuated, but more in the down-hill direction. Thus with our business houses, stock and market prices changing, we prophesied a very poor year to secure aid from them. But the business firms have with their contributions given us most courteous treatment and have aided us in every way in their power. As a result of their support, the Klipsun staff has been able to turn out one of the best annuals in years. Contracts were let to the following firms: The Brown Studio, Sunset Building, Bellingham, Washington; The Seattle Engraving Company, Seattle, Washington; The Union Printing, Binding Stationery Company, Bellingham, Washington. These firms have given the most courteous treatment possible, and have aided in pro-ducing our publication in every way. I wish to thank the students and the faculty of the Normal, along with the busines smen, for their co-opera-tion and courteous treatment. - ARCHIE ERICKSON, Manager of Klipsun, 1921. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page [142] ---------- 4Ik ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 143 ---------- B .S nS.INn n meninnnnuunn 1'',,',, 'I', , 'l l,'ll l l llluu',',' ,, ,u,il 'li' n, I un,'','I',ui un11' ,i ''i ,,,, ,,,', ',',' ',,,,inin ,,in ,u, ,u ,' ,n, ,,',n ,iw ', ,,,' ', w,, AT THE BASKETBALL GAME Mae Clark: " Is Campbell on the five?"

Karlson: " The dickens you say! Who was it? " Pruner: " The barber." DEEP! Is Powell a deep thinker? He must be. None of his ideas ever got to the surface.

S This is of Special Importance to Graduates The policy of this school is to always keep in touch with its graduates and former students so as to be of assistance to them whenever needed. The Co-Op., being a part of this institution, also desires to keep) in touch with its (ltrons, and has this proposition to make: To those of you who will be located in places where it will be impossible for you to get many of the things needed in teaching, we will agree to fill any order sent us provided iwe have the goods in stock and p)roviding cash is sent to cover. You are all more or less familiar with our prices, so in making your remittances please send enough to cover the articles, together with the postage. If there is anything left we will return the balance to you or give you credit for same. Those of you who are located handy to regular dealers, we advise that you buy of them. It is not our desire to secure business that rightfully belongs to them. ADDRESS ORDERS TO THE CO-OP C. C.

We forgot devotional exercises on Monday, Or motion pictures on Wednesday, And to come late on Friday? Now, honestly, would assembly seem natural?

When you sit in class in coma and talk seems awful dry; and outside a big fat robin goes chirping gaily by, and the light breeze stirs the tresses of the girl in the front seat, and you fumble with your notebook and move your clumsy feet, the butterflies begin to flit and you'd rather take a licking than be sitting where you sit. When your father gets a letter that you sent him for more kale, with an incidental postscript that you're just about to fail; when profs become good-natured and the birds begin to sing, it's just the same old story - it's spring, old kid, it's spring!- Exchange.

It keeps me tossing all the night And causes me to smart; And in the morning, when I leave My bed of sleepless pain, That straw lies waiting until eve To tickle me again. I have a secret and all-absorbing grudge against the editor of this Klipsun. When the poem contest was announced, I thought of a novel method of winning the much coveted prize. I remembered an incident in one of my high school English classes in which the teacher had asked for extremely original and appro-priately named essays. Equipping myself with the indispensibles, I wrote at the top of the page: "An Essay on Paper," and handed it in. This ruse appealed homehow to the teacher's sense of humor and proved successful beyond my hopes. Encouraged by this remembrance, I resolved to treat the editor in like manner. In a carefully sealed and prepared envelope, I en-closd a sheet of paper unblemished save for the title: " Vacua - A Poem in Blank Verse," and my name at the bottom. I chuckled in glee at the thoughts of the editor's discomfiture, feeling certain that he would be a good sport and accept my contribution in solemn grace. Indeed, so did he. My joy at being announced winner was soon shattered by the receipt of the following missive, yea missile: " Dear Sir: Although your beautiful poem was awarded first prize, we are sending no pecuniary reward, as your lines are evidently the latest exhuberation of free verse." Thus far, I have not scaled Parnassus. A quick lunch turneth away digestion. While I am here, Mr. William Elder cometh forth with a copy of " Hoyle Up-to-Date," which he wisheth to be put upon his reserve shelf. ----------- Klipsun, 1921 - Page 165 ---------- B-S"N -S 1, Ii1iilU ll l nllIIII llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlnlllllll n I mm m nIII ll i iiun l l ll I I IIII II I i nI I I I I I i iiiii l l l l II l i l l l ulllllullum l i I I l I n 1 I i i I l l i ii i i i iIullu IIII I IIIII I l IIIIIIIII III Highland Creamery H.

The portal drapes are parted, And we, dear class, must o'er its Ihreshold go From school, into that arlifice Called world-be wise, reserved; be sure and slow. Behind we leave the happy days Of comradeship, our sweetest memory; That bond so builded thru our years, It needs must somehow course our destiny. Ah! Fate, you strange-you unknown power, K Cans't not give us a future like our past? Reveal to us what lies beyond K Yon purple, parted drapes. Our lot is cast; We list with eager ears to catch The valued words of wisdom, ere too late To mold our lives accordingly- What says this strange--this unknown power of fate. "Learning, love and fear of God, These gifts are given you, departing class; Their price, no tempting gold can reach; Treasured jewels and gilded halls, do these surpass. Though varied be your chosen paths, Each goal, the Gate of Heaven, is the same. In life's deceits, these gifts are guards, And should you fail-you have yourself to blame." 3 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 4 ---------- A I 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 5 ---------- Erparftment of D~uratin M~ati'r. .PkI ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 6 ---------- - . ::: - __ - I r.:: 1 ,ril .4~~ ~ ~ _ _ _ __- 6 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 7 ---------- )DWIGHT B.

THATCHER MARJORTE JOHNSON ur lass Abvisors Four splendid people have been thinking for us, working for us, hoping for us for a whole year. Each of the four confidently expect great things of us. We must not disappoint them. The Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-two has been very fortunate in its class advisors. They are: Mr. Bever, Miss Earhart, Miss Druse and Doctor Miller. Just how strenuous their task has been, only they can know. Indeed, not until we are about to leave, does a full realization of all they have done, of just how much of our load they have carried, comes home to us. Each of the four is a person of wide experience and growth. They have high hopes and ideals and broad professional vision. They stand for a constant raising and improving of our school's standards. Mr. Bever has the reputation of being the busiest, kindest and most patient man in school. Patient he needs to be, with Mary Jones eternally insisting on twenty hours and Liza Schupp forever demand-ing graduation with six credits short. His days are brimming over ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 15 ---------- with teaching, programming and checking records. Only he, who bears the brunt of it year in and year out, can tell how exhaustive programming really is. Then there is the immense work of checking over the work of hundreds of seniors every year. How he keeps so calm and cool is a mystery to all of us. Mr. Bever knows when to be conservative and when to be radical. He holds rigidly to the things that tend to keep up the mtorale and status of the ins itution; yet he is among the first to discard old, out-worn ideas and accept the new. Mr. Bever has been helpful in car-rying out some of the school's best measures. No one works quite so hard for us as Miss Earhart, head of the Training School. Her time is filled with diagnosing our cases and prescribing just the right bit of teaching in the Training School and the city. Just now she is incredibly busy hunting up positions for us and getting us "placed." She doesn't forget us when we are gone; she keeps us in mind and feels responsible for us. With a woman like Miss Earhart thinking about us and feeling responsible for us, we simply have to make good. Miss Druse is another of our well-wishers and benefactors. She has been art critic of the Klipsun for several years and much of the K beauty and attractiveness of the yearly success we call our annual, is inspired by her. Miss Druse is ever ready to serve as judge of our contests and, indeed ,to help and befriend us in every way. One man there is who does his work behind the scenes. That man is Dr. Miller. He accomplishes things so quietly and so well that few of us know they are done and most of us imagine that they just "happen." The wonders he has worked since he took charge of the department of education in 1917 are almost unbelievable. His work, thought and influence have changed and broadened the curriculum materially. He has left the conception of the "all-round" 'teacher to die a natural death, and has introduced specialization thru the minor and major system. He is largely responsible for the introduction of standardized tests in the common branches. He worked hard for the mental test and won it. He is constantly growing and insists on growth in the members of his department. Dr. Miller, in accomplishing these things, has done every one of us a personal service. His work is not spectacular. His ambition is to do as much good as he can without being detected in it. He has succeeded. Actually, though not officially, Mr. Kolstad is a senior class ad-visor. He is the man who makes it his business to see that we enjoy ourselves at Normal. No party, no picnic, no gathering of any kind,' is quite complete without him. IIe, too, stands for a bigger and bet-ter school, with ever-climbing standards. 15 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 16 ---------- 1 MASON HALL, Editor ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 17 ---------- ESTILL V.

It has been the policy of the Board to work for the best interes's of the Senior class, and to this end our efforts have been centered. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 21 ---------- t 21 MiLtEI 21 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 22 ---------- DONNA KLINKER HAROLD M. SMITH MASON HALL On a certain day in September in the year nineteen hundred twenty, many lads and lassies from all over this fair state and coun-try congregated in the City of Bellingham--to be specific, on the B. S. N. S. campus, on Sehome Hill. A few in the crowd by their superior manners and knowing ways could be sifted out as "famil-iars," the dignified Seniors. The great remaining bulk of the seekers after knowledge one could easily see were unfamiliar with the ways and customs. From this second group of youth sprang the Junior class, magnificent, the largest Junior class in the his'ory of the school at that date. To demonstrate the fact that this class possessed quality as well as quantity, one has only to mention the lively mix-ers, club activities, dramiatics, debates, and athletics participated in by individual members of the class. Homesickness could not exist in this big Normal family, in the sound, firmly organized Junior class. The spirit of this new body was immediately felt in the school life, and the work begun then has continued through the two years. Since that day in September, so long ago, the record made by the class of '22 has been notable in all lines of school endeavor. The , clubs in 1920 pledged a membership which in the years to follow will ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 23 ---------- be inspirational. The confidence placed in them was well founded. The majority of the members of '22 have served creditably as offi-cers in the various societies and by their talent and wisdom have ad-vanced the fame of the organizations. The dramatic talent of the Senior class was appreciated from the very beginning of its career. It was first perceived in the Expression classes, la er substantiated in the vario-us society programs and cul-minated in the Junior year, when the class presented that delightful comedy "Rosemary," with unique success. The superb dramatic ability displayed in this all-tar production will remain in the mem-ories of those who witnessed it for many years. This record has been excelled, if that may be, in this the Senior year of the class. The play, (the name is on the tongues of the mulitiude) m,et with as great ac-claim as did the production, "Rosemary." As Juniors, we were proud to present four of the six debaters to defend our Alma Mater. Now, as Seniors, we claim four of the six. These earnest young orators the Class of '22 may never honor too highly. The prowess displayed by the class in athletics does not need mention. The girls succeeded, by their superior skill and strength, in defeating the Class of '21 in the Junior-Senior Basketball Series of 1920-21 and in so winning the Kline Cup. The bulk of the material for the Normal basketball team has largely been furnished by the femininity of the clas of '22. The men of the class have furnished the necessary seasoned tim-ber for the Football and Basketball machines of B. S. N. S. The mar-velous achievemients we feel were due in a great measure to the fine sportsmanship of the Seniors. For the friendly advice, valuable and enuthsiastic co-operation of Mr. Bond, later of'Mr. Bever, Mr. Miller, Miss Cummins. the Senior clas can never adequately express its appreciation. It shall be our aim as individuals to render a similar service in a small way in our future work. We leave, but we shall return; therefore we do not say farewell. May the following lines express the philosophy of the Class of '22. Thus do the threads the fates have spun Weave through the loom of life Each classmate has some share of fun And more or less of strife Until we graduate at last When God shall call the roll; The troubles of our lives all past, Our records on his scroll. -Vida Scudder. 23 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 24 ---------- eirntr liasa Sropery The long, white, flimsy robe reached below my knees. The sil-very stream that I had been following wound through the valley. Far in the distance the jeweled towers of a cathedral gleamed in the blue moon rays. Oversized, oblong, green and purple stars hung near the palm tree horizon. I stopped lo listen lo the chimes which the windl, coming in from the lemon-colored sea, carried over the valley. Dew sparkled on the millions of sweet musk-rose buds that per-fumed the night. The jui'ce of nodding violets and oxlips covered my bare feet. In my right hand was the golden-leafed book containing the Senior ('lass names. Long before I reached the palm grove, strips of lemon, and pur-ple water glowed through the open spaces. ,Where the woodbine over-canopied the palmas, and the dew shone like diamonds, barefoot maidens with jeweled eyes, danced in circles. The mystic music from unseen harps vibrated softly out over the water. At last I stood at the door of a hut, facing a hideous, stooped old woman. IHer voice hinted of the unknown. She snatched the book K fromn my hand, laughing in a cracked, hollow voice. "Ah! not all the names are here." K Disappointment spread over her dry face. "But never mind, I know all. Let's see who comes first?" She glared at the names. "Take that diamond pIointed pencil and write." The following is what she told me to write. "Only eleven of the class will make good school teachers." Dwight Cone will be disappointed in love, and will find solace only in the barber business. Marion Collier, six years from now will be married to one, and in love with another. Reta Gard marries an Alaskan mine owner, leaving poor Loree with a broken heart. Olga Brotnov tours the southern states, lecturing on, "IIow to Get Rich Raising Speckled HIens." She finally elopes with a trav-eling man. Marion McLaughlin breaks her engagement with Roy Tweit, and takes a correspondence course in motion picture acting. Amy Peterson teaches and teaches, and still she teaches; but it is only one that she teaches. Estill V. Cain is a very successful horse trader up in Alberta, but he often thinks of the little girl on Lummi Island. I 24 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 25 ---------- II sleep.

Florence Philipps is traveling with a famous circus, selling freckle remover. Minnie Collins is chasing the "White Shadows" down in the South Sea Islands.

She never mar-ries, poor Alberta. Vida Scudder is in the life saving business. She wears many medals and a "loud" bathing suit at the beach where she is sta-tioned. She will marry a captain from Alaska. Dorothy Forch is still trying to find out what makes the wind blow, and why she didn't get an "A" instead of a "D." Mrs. Jessie S. Van de Wetering is looking for a man with a short name. Swanhild Ingemund at last learns how to pickle hen's teeth. Again the soft music drew me to the window, but when green flames dar ed from the ears and nose of the old hag, I again took the seat. Frances Rosenberg, do not marry a man that has been married before. You will be rich before you are thirty-two. 25 Ruth O. Wenz is getting rich in the junk business, also in spare time she sells the "New Fat Reducer" that she discovered. The music drifted in from outside, and I walked to the window to watch the maidens dance. Anger spread over the withered face of the old woman. She pointed a bony finger at a seat. I sat down and continued to write. Catherine Shepherd marries a man that she does not love, but this lasts only two years. In the third year she finds happiness. Ask her????

You will never marry a fellow that works in a library. He will be a corn doctor. Mrs. Edna Anstett. So you are still happy teaching one. Vera White goes to South America on a wind jammer. She wears men's clothes, and could have married a rich old widower. Ruth Chabert, you will never marry to please yourself, so take an old womian's advice and teach school. Evelyn B. Brooks.

But please tell your miother. Willa Lowman has at last rolled a peanut from Seattle to Mis-souri. Irene Sixeas goes to Japan to look for a blue-eyed Japanese. When she learns how to make cookies she comes home. The soft breeze coming in from the lemon-colored sea, blew the door open. I stopped writing and looked out under the trees at the dancers. When the withered hag began to snort, I resumed my writ-ing. Evelyn Hasbrok is down in Virginia learning how to bake opos-sum and corn bread. Goldie V.

Pearl Stough on sells a short story for a large sum and then gets married. Alice Haverman tours the world looking for a pretty man, but finally returns for Carroll Haeske. Maria Jepsen is still driving her own car. Her husband sits be-side her. The old woman stopped talking. I looked up. She pointed to the door. At the open door I pleaded for her to tell my fortune. At first anger spread over her face, then she began to laugh. "Oh, what a joke," she kept saying. She screeched and laughed. I started running down through the valley. As I ran I could still hear the dry, crackling laugh. ( -George Stephens.

To our Alma Mater we leave our love and devotion, plus any knowledge we may have imbibed in unguarded moments, as we will naturally have no further use of it, either in the present life or in the life to come. Secondly. To President Waldo we leave our profoundest sym-pa hy and the assurance that the Junior Class only appears so very inferior by contrast with our extreme brilliancy. To Dr. Nash we send our love, our gratitude, our best wishes for his highes possible success and the assurance that his memory will always be fresh in the hearts of his former students. Thirdly. To the next Senior Class we bequeath: First: Our patient, hard-working, long-suffering, inimitable Class Advisor, Mr. Bever, with full instructions for winding and set-ting. Second: The Library, in which they may talk, lunch and re-create themselves as we have done. K Third: Our places in he soup-line at the Cafeteria. Fourth: The sacred obligation of arranging a satisfactory al- K liance for the Eligible of our facully. Fifth: Our noble, soul-stirring example in all things, which they can only hope to imitate at a distance. Fourthly. To the Junior Class we bequeath: First: Our blessing. Second: Certain note-books and papers, ready to be handed in, which, being disposed of, will leave themi more leisure for the real business of life, i. e., movie-fanning, etc. Third: Our earnest request that they do not work themselves to death or develop nervous break-downs from study and worry. Fifthly. Individually and collectively, we do bequeath the fol-lowing : To Dr. Miller we leave our undying gratitude for his short form of lesson plan, over which we have spent so many hours of exquisite enjoyment and wild delight. To Mir. Bever we leave six dozen large-sized handkerchiefs to be distributed by him among the faculty, who will be stricken with grief at being obliged to part with us. To Mr. Bond we leave a couch on which to relax during As-sembly, after the fatiguing process of teaching Juniors, "Why is 6 ?'" To Miss Edens we leave the task of catching all the slang phrases running loose about the institution, warning her not to romp, frisk or cake- walk during the process, and advising her to shut them up in . 28 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 29 ---------- Room 216 and stand guard. To Mr. Kolstad we bequeath: (1) An A stamp and a miechanical device for turning 60 pages a minute to relieve him of the immense fatigue of correcting papers. (2) A warning, viz., that a married man is much safer at Normal 1han a single one. (3) A pair of rompers for his teddy-bear. To Miss Sperry we return Shakespeare and Browning, which some of our number took from her. To Miss Gragg we leave specimens of our business penmanship, on two conditions: First, that she suppress I hem, until after gradua-tion; second, that she never use them for horrible examples in her future classes. To Miss Mead we leave our permission to try out any doubtful prescriptions on our successors, together with our love and thanks. To Miss Earhart we leave a self-returning pink card, copyright-ed, and the dreadful accusation that she has the kindest and best heart in the world. To Mr. Hoppe we leave our congratulations on the success of the Senior Play; also an ear-trumpet, smelling salts and fifteen stretch-ers, to be used on the shy little Juniors in Expression I. To Mr. Coughlin we bequeath all the chick-weed on the campus, suggesting that he transplant it to the Training School garden, thus giving his Nature Study classes a long-needed rest. To Mr. Carver we bequeath Mr. Coughlin's treatise on "The Art of Keeping Still," suggesting that he read and apply it; also our sin-cere thanks for putting our school back on the football map. To Mr. Hunt we leave the upper hand which he got over us in the very original standardized tests we wrote for him. To Mr. Caskey we relinquish all claim to the simplified mode of spelling we demonstrated for him in the spelling tests. To Mr. Rahskopf we leave "Tipperary in the Spring," over which we were wont to wax profane. To Mr. Grady ye leave six new pairs of white trousers and rol-ler skates to aid in corralling students escaping fromi Assembly. To Mr. Kibbe we leave a megaphone, so that he may not strain his voice in making himself heard from the Training School to the Science Annex, together with the suggestion that there are synonyms for exactly and exceedingly. To Mrs. Thatcher we leave all the records we failed to appreciate in Music Appreciation, assuring her that, after trying them out on the next Senior Class, she will appreciate us. To the Training School supervisors we leave noiseless moccasins in which to stalk their prey, also devices for printing "Unsatisfac-tory. Rewrite," on fifty plans a minute. To Miss Cummins we leave our scalps and the consoling thought that she has "stumped" every one of us at one time or another. To Mr. Philippi we leave: (1) Many specimens of prehistoric man unearthed by future football teams in Battersbuy's Field, and, (2) 1 I I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 30 ---------- this suggestion for the motivation of Hygiene I. Let the little Sen-iors who are good play with Jimmie and Mary for ten minutes before class. To Miss Wilson we leave ten gallons of "gas" for her pet and what remains of the library after our strenuous two years onslaught. To the Art Department we bequeath: (1) Our shattered nerves; (2) all the labor saving devices the forced us to invent; (3) any new colors we have unwittingly discovered. To Miss Long and Miss Watrous we leave the credit of our aston-ishing physique and amazing postures. To the Cafeteria we leave a brand-new recipe for hash, incredible as it may seem. To Noel Wynne we leave all the reserve books, seeing that he is so fussy about them, anyway. To the city supervisors we leave kiddy-cars to enable them to cover more ground, stipulating that they practice the manipulation of this intricate mechanism for one hour each day, on and around the camnpus and that they carefully observe all traffic regulations. To practice teachers we bequeath: (1) Bells to be fastened around the necks of their supervisors; (2) suits of spit-ball-proof armor; (3) all the shivers and shakes of a first day of teaching; (4) the consoling thought that even we were "green" once upon a time. To Training School pupils we leave our congratulations, our K apologies and our refusal to believe that such cherubic, docile infants as they ever existed before, here below. K Sixthly. We, of the Senior Class, appoint President Waldo, of the Bellingham Normal, as sole executor of this, our will. Seventhly. In Witness Whereof, we have hereby signed, sealed, published and declared this instrument as our last Will and Testa-ment at Bellingham Normal at 10 o'clock on June second, nineteen hundred and twenty-two.

W. HECKMAN RUEL KNOWLTON noarb of (Eontrol The personnel of the Board of Control has changed a number of times during the past year. Miss Elsie Minor, who was elected presi-dent of the Students' Association, was in school only during the summer quarter. The vice president, Carroll Haeske, then became president. During the summer, Mr. Fraser was elected to take the place of Miss Cook, who was not in school at the time. For the other vacancy three young men followed each other: Wade Bristol, who iesigned to become Business Manager of the Messenger, Mason Hall, who resigned to become Editor of the Klipsun, and Ruel Knowlton. Mr. Kolstad substituted for Mr. Heckmian during the Fall Quarter, and for Mr. Bond during the Spring Quarter. Among the various events arranged for by the Board of Control the following might be mentioned: School picnic and salmon bake, summer quarter mixer, ocean trip, fall mixer, football banquet. Christmas tree exercises, debate team entertainment, Chuckanut Mar-athon. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 60 ---------- Along with their regular duties, including the supervision of the financial activities of the Students' Association, they have taken up various questions such as that of the improvement of the athletic field. lt;The outstanding feature of the year was the purchase of eighty acres on Lake Whatcom, to be used as a school resort. The suggestion of such an act was made by Mr. Bond, October 24, 1921. Mr. Kolstad, appointed to investigate the advisability of the move, reported fav-orably. The Board then decided to see for themselves. There fol-lowed two hikes up the lake shore, through brush, over rocks, in creeks, under logs, sliding up hill, rolling down, losing trails, making new ones, lost as a group, lost in pairs, until finally the eighty was located. The forerunners of many school groups were "enthusiasti-cally impressed." The matter was presented to the students Novem-ber 23, when they decided to buy the property. On Jauary 4, Mr. Bond was elected trustee of the lake property and the transfer took place soon thereafter. The Board members looked into the future and saw a school great in size and achievement, a student body, splendid in personnel and strong in school spirit, aided and strengthened by the recreation of-fered by a tract on the lake shore with its school and club lodges, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, hockey fields, golf course, canoes, rowboats, launches. The retiring Board of Control awaits anxiously the time when future Boards will be building to make This dream tome true. K One must mention the spirit of good fellowship which existed in the "family group"'' as it assembled around the table in the Students' Association Room. There were differences at times, but they were soon forgotten. This spirit showed itself most clearly in the quarterly Board dinners, a custom inaugurated by the present members, and carried over in the first annual Two-Board dinner, when the retir-ing members entertained the Board elect. ,om -R ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 61 ---------- , S C.

The Students' Co-op is an institution of which the school is indeed proud. Starting back in 1908 in a very modest way, it has enjoyed a more or less steady growth until it is now considered to be the equal of any college store, regardless of the size of the student body, in its service to its patrons, and, in its reasonable prices. The last two years have been very trying ones to business in general, owing to price reductions, to a falling off of sales, and, to the losing of old customers occasioned by misunderstandings. The Co-op, however, has come thru this period stronger than ever as the students have realized generally that Mr. Baughman and his as-sistants, Miss Heaton, Miss Lund and Mr. Gaasland, have ever been on the alert to give efficient service, reasonable prices and courteous treatment. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 62 ---------- IJu ttr Eiibraru We, of the Bellingham Normal School, are very proud of our library-and of our librarian. It is a just pride, one that grows and strengthens every time we make use of a book or spend an hour there. Visitors tell us that ours is the best Normal school library in the Northwest. We know, from constant use of and intimate acquain-tance with it, that it is even better than they say. With a librarian like ours, a library is bound to develop. Miss Wilson has stamiped her personalily indelibly on her department. Her breadth of vision has enlarged the vision and comprehensiveness of this "''workshop"'' and her energy and tireless efforts have made it keepl pace with the years. Twenty-five thousand volumes at our disposal! And such books. All that is standard and best in fiction, essay, drama, travel, biology, history--a multiplicity of subjects. There simply is no end to their scope. Miany a student has thought up all sorts of profound and un-usual subjects, just to see if the library would be equal to it. It al- ways is. K A library in themselves are the books on education and peda- K gogy within i's walls. Comprehensive literature on every new phase of education is found ihere. Books are being constantly added to this section, as the need for them arises. The periodical room is eloquent of Miss Wilson. Each month finds one hundred and fifty splendid new magazines, educational jour-nals and scientific papers spread out and waiting for us. Every pub-lication is among the best, eminent among its kind. The library is not only extensive; it is completely organized. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Anyone can hunt down a subject sucessfully and capture it in this well-ar-ranged, and logically planed place. The service given by the library each year is simiply amazing. The rooms are open from early morning until late at night. Hun-dreds of students enter, leave, study, draw out and return books. Yet the noise and confusion is kept down to a surprising minimum. Through the stress and hard work the "library people" are ever courteous, patient and eager to help. What is the secret? Order! The very book-cases and diction-aries breathe it. Here, thanks to Miss Wilson, the way of the trans-gressor is hard. Rules are few and simple but inexorably kept. On this basis, the library has been able to function with a thoroughness * almost unbelievable. With these standards of service and of effi-ciency, it is bound to improve and to develop constantly.

Was it this determination that helped the Juniors to reach the top? If so, may all other clases below them enter with the same spirit and enjoy victory and triumiph such as the Juniors have enjoyed. In other words, the class of '23 has had a most eventful year. It began when the football season opened and the Juniors showed their spirit by turning out. Seven letter men were Juniors. Keplinger was an all star end, while Tryggvi held the other end down, with the strength of Ulysses. Rairdon (Pop) preserved the stonewall appearance as heavy charges of the opposing line advanced. Hoyt at the other tackle was hard to move as Mt. Verdun. The gateway to success was guarded by Knowlton, while McComas played the part of center and Gaasland (they cal him "Hag") being the speedy man known as the helf-back, time ,after time circled the opposing line, carrying the Normal School to victory. Thus did the Juniors do honor to their class and Alma Mater. Again, in basketball, the Juniors composed the larger part of the team. Trusty Keplinger, faithful McComas, and "Star" Vanderford all brought credit to their class. The second team, almost equal to K the first, held the following Junior class members: Oscar Lindstedt, Marion Reddick, Porter Hatley, and George Abbey. The girls' K team fairly dazzled us with their victory, winning the Kline Cup. Many have said the Junior play, "Little Women," was the greatest success of the year. The class acknowledge their deep debt to Mr. Hoppe, who contributed largely to the success of the play. Three peppy mixers were given. These mixers speak for them-selves, owing to the livewires that composed them. They showed the real democratic spirit of the class. For the first half of the year the officers in charge were: Stan-ley McComas, President; Blanche Davy, vice president; Ethel Ashley, Secretary-treasurer. The latter half: Harold Gaasland, President; Jeanice Turner, Vice President; Sam Ford, Secretary-treasurer. They have done much in the interest of the school and class. The different committees appointed thruout the year have done their work faith-fully and well. Some of these workers were: Helen Hightower, Robert Caulkins, Irma Bond, Jeanice Turner, Ann Rouchy, Gertrude Egbert, and many other loyal Juniors. The class claims the honor of the nominee for Tulip Queen, the business manager of the Messenger, and the two best singers in the school. Mr. Bond and Mr. Kibbe were the class sponsors and much credit is due them for their interest and advice. And so ends the year for the class of '23. Each member has given all that is in him and success shall be his reward. May other Junior classes contribute as much to our beloved Alma Mater. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 68 ---------- SCHOOL YELLS Hip, Hooray! - Team ! Hip, Hooray! - Team ! Reh ! Reh ! Reh ! Reh !

Shephens) "But he loves me, Grandma." "No, he no love you; white man no love squaw, he tell 'um lie, me know."' "But I am no ordinary squaw. My father was a Russian and my eyes are blue." The old Eskimo woman mumbled something in a low, gutteral tone. "He asked me to marry him, Grandma, and I promised to marry him when he returns, later in the summer. I met him at the hospital across the river. He found out that I had been to school out in the states, and he used to walk home with me after school. Sometimes we walked home by the river, but he liked to walk around by the marsh, because he said he didn't like for the other government men to see me." "White man no good. He no love like Eskimo. He love money." "He crossed the river on the same boat I did, Grandma, and he was here at Nushagak for two days. I wish you could see him." The old squaw sat on the floor in a dark corner by the little cook-stove, sewing a strip of Arctic rabbit skin around the top of a seal-skin moccasin. She bent low over her work, making slow, wide stitches with a coarse needle. Her dim eyes could hardly distinguish the color of the bead work. She raised her eyes and peered out at her grandaughter; her wrinkled, immovable face resembled a dry, shriveled potato. "Me see himt--me walk by water-tired-me sit down-he walk by. Me know him--all same boy-smoke paper smoke-hands look-um like girl. Heap plenty gold teeth. White man no love squaw, me know. Me live, too. White man like drink, sourdough-he no catch-umrn fox-make-um squaw work." Konnyu, with an armful of mucklucks and furs, stopped with her hand on the door latch and looked back at the old woman. "Grandma, please get out of that dark corner, and come near the light, and for goodness' sake quit sitting on the floor. I want you to learn to sit on a chair, like you did last summer." Konnyu stepped out into the biting west wind and carried the furs and mucklucks to the fish cache. It had been a late spring and now, in June, the grass showed green only in little patches. The crew at the salmon cannery under the hill by the river had come in through the last ice-drift and were busy over-hauling the machinery. " n_ ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 71 ---------- Konnyu, before entering the cabin again, stood looking across the wide, muddy river. The snow and ice glowed with varying shades through the persistent mist. A few early sea-birds circled above the drift-ice, and sounds of hammering came from the cannery. A sense of disgust came over the girl when she re- entered the cabin. Around the walls hung old fur clothing; in the corners things lay in a heap, where they had been thrown from time to time during the winter. The squaw got up from the floor and llolbbled to a chair near the window. Her face did not show the emotion that was troubling her. The thought of her grand-daughter's marrying a white man made her heart sick. "Grandma, you must learn to wear that corset I made for you, for I want you to look nice when the white man comes back. Oh, mercy me! Look at those red curtains sewed with white thread. Grandma, I am going to paper this room, scour the floors, and make new curtains for the windows before he gets back." "Me work cannery-me strong-me give money you-you marry Thorus." "I will not marry Thorus. Thorus is only a trapper, and he is half French. I love a white man." The middle of July came and great beds of wild flowers covered K the valleys and mountains. Rain storms swept over the land and sea with such fury that it was no longer safe to venture out on the water in kayaks. The fish boats skurried for shelter, their brown sails re-sembling butterflies with crippled wings, hurrying before the storm. Konnyu's heart burned and swelled until it almost choked her. The white man was three weeks over-due. Day after day she slipped away by herself and climbed the hill from which she watched boat after boat grow from a mere speck until it went chugging up to the cannery dock. But the white boat with the two yellow masts did not come. Week after week sped by and the natives began to whisper at the Greek church. The old priest shook his head in wonder; he could not understand why Konnyu had quit playing the church organ on Sunday. M1iany times Konnyu walked around the mountain to the place where she had said good-bye to the white mian. "He will come back. He will come back," she told herself over and over. One night, when a light wind blew gently from the sea, the water ran in swells of gold, and the sky was streaked with topaz and crim-son. Konnyu entered the church yard, and looked up at the picture of Christ over the door. "All white men say you were the greatest white man that ever lived. Father Mittenloff, he tell me pray you. He said you give unselfish prayer answer. Then why don't you .. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 72 ---------- answer my prayer, dear God? You know that I have sinned, but dear God, if he don't come back-Oh pity me! Help me, dear Christ-God." Leaving the church yard, Konnyu followed a caribou trail around the mountain to the sea. The wind moaned in the tall grass, and the deep howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the valleys. With lowered head she returned slowly along the trail, thinking of her great sin. The stars in the heavens glowed in purple-pale strings of light. Konnyu closed the door quietly behind her, and noiselessly went to bed. The deep breathing of the old Eskimo woman told her that she was asleep. As time went by and the white mran did not return, the old Eski-mto woman nodded her hed in satisfaction. She hobbled to work at the cannery, and stored her earnings in an empty salmon can. "Me give you and Thorus," she told Konnyu. The first of August came, the fishing season was over. The sum-mer was changing to fall, and still the white man did not come. Her eyes grew wild and pitiful. She met the old priest on the hill one y afternoon, causing that white-haired old man to find his cabin in haste. "You are the priest and you lie, you lie damn bitter lie. Oh, why K Q do you stay here? God! There is no God. You say me comae back and God will forgive me. You bring back mny white man and then I will believe God." Late that afternoon, rain swept over the land and sea. Great green waves foamed along the shore. Funeral clouds hovered and drifted near the earth. Konnyu, barefooted, bareheaded, and wild * with fever, followed a caribou trail through the deep grass. The wind and rain beat the flower petals to the ground. Konnyu stopped where the giant waves rushed in from the sea. She talked and swore fran-tically tearing her hair. For hours she roamed the beach, until at last a coolness crept over her. The climax was reached. Half drowned, she reached the cabin to spend the night in sobbing. All night her grief tore her. Outside the wind moaned shudderingly. Through the little window next morning she looked off to the south. A misty orange flush suffused the dun-colored sky. She no longer read her books; she moved about the cabin, the corners of her mouth twitching. The fall wore away into November and the pearly snow crystals once more drifted over the sea and the land. Dog sleds were coming and going through the Arctic day. The great ball of fire rose along the icy horizon; the sky remained a purple blue. The snows were purple, with just a few dashes of red in the roads. At night the North-ern Lights filled all the heavens. 72 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 73 ---------- 1 St . .' II I' L_ I ( Konnyu's love had burned out. She talked little, she showed a kind devotion to the old Eskimo woman. With her dog team out on the trail she often met Thorus. She nodded, barely noticing his broad smile and white even teeth. She never entered the church again. Sometimes at night she slipped into the church yard to pray. She often peeped in at the window to see the beautiful painting of the Madonna. With her snow-shoes on, she went around the mountain one day to the place where she had said good bye to the white man. A pearly vapor now filled the valley, and ptarmigan flew in flocks before her, their beady black eyes showing against the white density. The sun, a flushed crimson ball, edged along the wintry outline of the moun-tains, purplish, snowy glitter. Konnyu watched the sun slowly sink, like a great blazing globe into the sea of fire-flushed, ice. The snowy mountains about glowed with warm cheer. The ice turned to purple, and again to blue, and then to winter darkness. Konnyu returned stumbling through the blue, black darkness to the village. Two weeks later Konnyu gave Thorus his final answer, and she watched him disappear one, night with his team of dogs. Long she stood and looked across the vast expanses of smooth surface, polished by the constant winds. The glow of the moon gleamed like isles of silver in a motionless, deep sapphire sea. The old Eskimo woman was waiting for Konnyu when she en-tered the cabin. "You no go to Thorus? Thorus, he say, he love you......!" "No, grandma, that is all too late now. Please don't say any more about it." "Thorus, he good . . ie like children." Konnyu went into her little room and closed the door. She sat by the window, looking out over the frozen sea. The old dull ache came back to her heart, and at last tears rolled down her cheeks. She put on her furs, land slipped out into the night. The Northern lights were playing in splendor. By degrees, the rose-colored sky assumed the hue of old gold, the violet embroideries of clouds changed to purple. Soon new celestial torohes lighted the changing sheen of the snow. At the church, Konnyu looked in at the picture of the Madonna and child. At the grave yard where the crosses stood in silent watch, Konnyu stood at the grave of her mother and her father. Her face was motionless and white. With her snow- shoes she skimmed out over the ice. The howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the ice. The ice glowed with purple and orange. Still farther Konnyu went. All about her were great air-holes. The wind hissed. There was a short heart-breaking sob. That was all. The Northern lights glowed and danced, and the howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the ice. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 74 ---------- 04r lose erruteb Aurl a of vet (Mary B. Egbert) This poem is an outgrowth of meditation suggested by the first part of the Greek legend concerning Adonis, who disregarded the voice of Venus (Love) in his pursuit of the wild boar, and also, by the pretty fable by the Persian Saadi Moralist concerning the scented clay that drank in the fragrance of the rose in "Brilliants," by Charles II. Spurgeon. For the full significance of the words merma and pureza refer to a large Spanish dictionary. The Farewell. Thou are leaving the cheery old fireside, my boy, For a voyage through lands that are strange and untried, To you dream of success in the pathway of joy; But remember, my son, there's a way that is wide And a way that is narrow and straight in this life, And the choice is with you, so whatever your path, May it take you from malice, from envy and strife, To the things of great beauty, the best that He hath. K K You may cross the wild billows that toss on the sea, You may serve as a warrior and win in the fray, But forget not your loved ones, your mother and me And our prayers for you, lad, at the close of each day; You may pass through the depths where the down-trodden dwell, You may suffer their sorrow, their anguish, their woes, But remember we love you, God loves you, Farewell! Let the clay of your castle be scented with rose. 'T'he Voice of Youth. Free! Free! At last I'm free! No pressure now to hold me back, No quiet voice to say, "Nay, Nay!" My hope, my dream; Free! Free! The Voice of Vision. Behold! A noble youth! See! There he comes! His head is lifted high, His manly form erect, His step is firm and sure; But look! He halts! He falls Beside the coppice there. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 75 ---------- Youth Speaks. Love! Love! I never really thought of love before,-- I hoped to win by power of wealth alone, To conquer every foe on sea and land And sit enthroned with none to challenge me; But now this wondrous vision pure and bright Bespeaks a fruer, better way. I pause: It points a straight and narrow pathway up To realms of purest joy. But, what is fame And what is wealth? They're things Ihat fade and pass I can not take them with me when I cross The other shore. That's what my father meant-- The way: The narrow way, the path of joy My choice ! The bloom and sweet perfume of rose To scent my clay. I rise and hence away. The Voice at the Gates. Behold! He joins l he multitudes, The careless, drifting crowds that pass; They play their charms and tempt the youth And, pleasure mad, he yields: Alas! Virtue. Voices of the Seven Virtues.

Confused he wanders aimlessly About! No sleep! No rest! A tempted soul Besieged with malice, hate, revenge! O Woe! What noble of deeds of purest worth could be Achieved if every act of mortal man Found birth within the living springs of good. I- ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 76 ---------- T But look!

No aureole Of sainted splendor bright lights up his dark And dismal clay. No cheery note for joy K Of life or hope divine inspires the souls Of weary pilgrims drifting down the plains Of Merma there beyond the living streams. Kindness. His tongue knows not the law of kindness now For selfish greed usurps it's throne. A flame Of rancor burns within his aching breast, A seething caldron spouting oaths of hate. Love. And love, that tender healing, soothing love That comforts man and knows no selfish creed, Is choked in him by cruel bitter hate; A savage, stinging vitiating hate Which like the boar Adonis chased has tusks; Each tusk a monkshood-poisoned arrow sharp. They pierce, and wound; yea and more, they kill the soul. Doom Song of the Virtues. A mighty man is fallen A life in sin is bred ! And through his wounded spirit The poisons quickly spread! ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 77 ---------- A mighty man is fallen, A youth is bended low, And from his wounded spirit, (The streams of anguish flow!

Beside the living streams Where healing waters flow, The fires of glory glow: (Unselfish deeds of love Within the Doors of Hope.) In pastures green he lies Beside the waters still, Beside the steep Pureza Hill, Whose verdant slopes refresh K The eye and calm the soul. Unconscious lies he there Without a thought or care; The Maids of Mercy fair With tender skill asssuage His wounds and fevered brow. At last he moves and knows The things that are and were: But sad regrets now stir Within his tortured soul That once was glad and free. He thinks once more of youth, The hour when he was strong When life was free from wrong, And sobs of anguish shake His form now bent with grief. The Maids of Mercy tell Of love that wins in strife; He seeks their way of life And wearied, falls in sleep To hear the Call at Dawn. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 78 ---------- I TIlE CALL AT DAWN. A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimlpse of the gold of the day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And the call is to me, "Arise, be strong!" The glow of the dawn on the purple peak, The flash of it's beams on the rocks so bleak, A rift in 1he night of my spirit's gloom And the call is to me, "Repent or doom!" The gleam of the gold on Ihe mountain streams, The home of my youth in the day of dreams, The trust and the love of a mother there And the call is to me, "For life prepare!" A silvery sheen on the water's blue, The play of the lights on a drop of dew, A longing for love and His strength divine And the call is to me, "My strength, not thine!" The silvery notes of an angel choir, K The harp and the lute and the golden lyre, K A glimpse of the Home on the other shore And the call is to me, "Go, sin no more!" I bow at His feet ere the break of day, Repent of my wrongs and my sinful way, Lay all on the altar and lo, He is near! And the call is to me, "Arise, no fear!" A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimpse of the gold of the day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And the call is to me, "Arise, be strong!" Voice of Vision. Hark! I hear the quiet rush of angel wings, And lo! The glory choir celestial sings; A wayward sin sick soul on earth repents And joy sublime, exceeding great, now vents Itself amidst the glory crowned throng: Youth hears the call divine, "Arise, be strong," And lo! He leaves behind the Merma plain, With all it's ruthless waste, and countless slain. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 79 ---------- He scales the rugged peaks and verdant hills Of Mount Pureza fair, where rippling, rills The s reamlets crystal clear; where sings the thrush, The hermit thrush in mossy forest's hush; Its modulated tones, exquisite rare, In tranquil clearness sweet, doth fill the air; Where sings the thrush, the sweet wood- thrush, its calm And restful hymn of praise; a healing balm Of hope and cheer at dawn, its flute like call Out there beneath the blue in sylvan hall. Behold! An angel messenger descends And close about his manly form she bends! She gives him faith to purify his heart, A shield of faith to quench each wicked, fiery dart, To keep him steadfast in the past of right. Behold! Another messenger in white Descends to place a helmet on his head! To place salvation's hope where fear was bred. And now with this the glorious burst of day Comes Love the greatest gift of all. A ray Of ardor burns his soul! He kneels in praise And finds no coined words by which to raise His voice to God in prayer. But heaven hears, And angels sing beyond this vale of tears K For joy at one now safe within the fold. K He consecrates himself to God to go The straight and narrow path in life, and lo! There is a multitude of Heaven's throng In songs of praise to God; and Youth is strong. Youth Speaks. My heart o'er flows with joy sublime I walk in strength of love divine, No cloud of darknes mars my way For Christ is now my rock and stay: A noble service too is mine, For I have heard His call divine. I stand beside the narrow gate, Between the ports of choice, to wait Each youth who ventures near And points to him without a fear, The road that leads afar from hate To plains of peace in God's Estate. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 80 ---------- I point him to the best in arts, To gems of thought that thrill our hearts, To notes inspired by gifted skill 'In love and not for greed to fill Man's purse.

Clark) Ah, love to go a wandering Upon a windy hill; To find a little golden stream And kneel and drink our fill! To come upon a friendly trail That beckons us away, Among the clouds, across the hill, Into the breeze swept day. Our little house is warm and bright And happy there am I-But ah, to go a- gypsying Where blue hills touch the sky. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 81 ---------- (By Margaret Bowen) Say, did you see the curve on that one, Phip?" "You bet. It was a beaut. Here, give me another, if you can." Phip braced himself for another swift return. "Gee, you have a Jim-dandy swing, hasn't he, fellows?" "I'll say so.'" "You tell 'em"'' "Sure thing," came from the other admiring youngs'ers, who had stopped playing' "catch" to watch Billy's throw. Johnny Gibson plumped his fist hard into his mitt with the force of an inspiration. "I say, Bill, why don't you get up a neigh-borhood team?" "Sure!" took up Dan Wint ers. "Here's eight of us in our gang, and Bud Simpson's crazy to get in. He's in the sixth "B". Won't he do?" "''Sure, Billy, let him in." "Let's do have a team, Bill." "Bud's good enough." "Say 'Yes,' Bill. Come on." "Well, it's a go," pronounced Billy finally, "and if you'll prac- tice hard, we'll challenge the bunch on the Hill, and have a reg'lar game." "Hooray!" "Three cheers!" " That's the stuff,''" chimed Ihe "''gang"'' in chorus. "Practice? Just watch us." "When're we goin' to begin?" "What'll we call our team?" "We'd better call it 'Lincoln Park.' We live near it, and every-one will know where we are, then." "Hey, listen, " cut in Phip. "Hickity, Hack, K, hark, Bickity, Back, K, bark, HOOray, HOOray, Hooray for Lincoln Park." Plans and practice progressed with a will. IL was nearly eight weeks until the close of school, but the first Sa'urday of vacation was set for the great game with their rivals on Greenwich Hill. Bud was duly initiated, and became a proud memlber of Billy Chace's "gang." All the players practiced faithfully, afternoon and evening, under Billy's direc:ion. Sporting papers, rule books, stories of baseball stars, were eagerly s udied and discussed. Billy was a good pitcher, and the other positions were practiced until the team work was al- ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 82 ---------- most automatic. Nothing, scarcely, was talked of but the team, and the families of the boys soon kinew all the details of the coming con-test. Billy's father was especialy interested. Mr. Chace loved base-ball, and was secretly proud of his red-blooded, young American son. Altho away every day at the factory, he saw enough of Bily to know all about the team, and the great fight in prospect. He wondered what kind of a leader "Bill Chace's gang" followed. "Well, Billy, so you're teaching the fellows to play ball?" "Gosh, no. They know as much about it as I do." +" "Then don't they 'row' when you give them directions?" ques- tioned his father. " 'Row'? Well, I should guess not. If the team decides to do anything, the first crabber gets out. See?" "Yes, I see. But Billy, why don't you teach your team some tricks? There are lots of easier ways to lay fellows out than by fanning them. Why don't you learn to use your heads against their heels ? " "You mean like spiking 'em, or something like that? Why, Dad, that's not square. What if somebody else would do like that, what would you say?" He caught the twinkle in his father's eyes, and stopped. "All right, Billy, be sure you remember about the 'crabbing,' K and that idea about the other fellow is worth holding on to." His father turned to his newspaper again, but Bily thot for some minutes of what he had just said. Finally he broke the silence. "Dad, I'll promise.' "What?" "Not to crab, and to remember the other fellow." "Good." The next week Mr. Chace brought guests home for dinner-Mr. t Delton, who was his new superintendent, Mrs. Delton, and their son, Thomas. Tom was a little older than Billy and a half-grade ahead of him in school, but he was not as tall nor as broad. They lost little time in getting acquainted, and the conversation soon turned toward baseball. "Play ball much, Tom?" "'You bet!"' "We've got a team here at Lincoln Park. We play the Hill fel-lows two weeks froml next Saturday." "Say, Bill, is your team all full? Dad's bought that new, brown bungalow in the next block, and we'll be living pretty near you, soon. " "That's great, Tom. Come out some night when the team's prac-ticing. It's full now, but we'll see." Later, to himself, Billy wondered which of the fellows he could possibly disappoint. He thot about it a good deal. Tom might not do at all, and he might be worrying for nothing. Yet the new boy ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 83 ---------- had spoken very confidently. Well, some fellow would drop out and let Tom in for the good of the team. It would not be fair to the rest to stay in and lessen the chances of all for winning. But would the other be fair-letting a new man in so late ? There were only sixteen more practice days before the game, and their teamwork ought not to be tampered with. If Tom were awfully good they might-Billy finally decided to wait until they tried him out. Mlonday found Tom at practice promptly with the others. Billy introduced the "new kid," and then drew him away to try out his catching. He was not a good catcher. Billy found himself rather glad. Tom was pretty good at getting high ones, but no better than their own fielders. Maybe his problem was settled without any fur-ther complications. Billy recalled himself with a start. There had been a wicked, little twist on that return. He took more notice. Inside of half an hour, Billy had to acknowledge that whatever else Tom Delton was not, he certainly was a pitcher. Billy got to bed early that night, but stayed awake with his eyes shut for a long time. Why did this Tom have to come and spoil it all, anyway, just when everything was going fine? Well, he did not have to let him play; he guessed he was captain and could decide as he pleased. But that would not be a square dealwith the team. K Tom was better, and he ought to let him play. Should not the captain K look out for his team more than anyone else? Putting Tom in might spoil the teamwork. But then, Billy had to admit that was not so. The fellows had practiced so long together that they were not easily rattled and Tom would have almtost two weeks to master the signals. He could put Tom in another position. But he would be no good ex-cept as pitcher. Well, if Tom had to pitch, Billy himself would play another position. Here again fairness confronted him. It would be a mean trick to drop another boy. Little Bud Simpson, he knew, would willingly give up. Billy turned over in disgust that he should think of it, after Bud had worked so long and faithfully. The boy tossed restlessly all night in his sleep. At practice the next day Tomn Delton pitched. The team thot little of it. Billy was allowing that in order to come out and coach them the better. But Billy taught Tom the first signals that night. ' 'What's the matter with your team, Billy," asked his father on Friday night. "I haven't heard much about it for some time." Billy reddened a little, and tried to put on a good show of en-thusiasm. "Why, it's coming just great. The teamwork is better every day. We're workin' too hard to talk much now, you see." Billy's father agreed that he saw, but did not say just what he was seeing. He waited for Billy to say more, but he son excused him-self to go out to practice. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 84 ---------- Tom practiced regularly now as pitcher. In spite of liking Tom, Billy sometimes caught himself wishing that something, not too serious, but just serious enough, would happen to Tom Delton before Saturday. He kept his own throwing arm well limbered. It did not seem possible even yet that there was only one more practice before the big game, and that he might not play. Something simply must happen. At last several of the boys came to him after their final practice Friday evening. "Billy, who's goin' to pitch tomorrow, you or Tom Delton ?" "I don't know," answered Billy shortly, turning away. "Don't forget what I said about eating, and be sure to go right to bed. Two o'clock sharp tomorrow, at the park. G'night." His father had left for the office when Billy appeared the next morning. Mr. Chace was as interested as Billy in the events of the afternoon, and during the morning called his superintendent into his office. "Well, Delton, don't you think we'd better go to the ball game this afternoon? Meet me at ihe south door at one. We'll lunch in town, and surprise them at the park." A quarter of two at Lincoln Park found Billy Chace nervous. K He dug his heels into the turf, unconsciously thumped his bat up and down, sat down, lay down, and got up again. Why didn't the fel-lows come? (It was still ten minutes until they were due). He thot he saw Bud away down the street. Panic seized him. What would he tell the team when it did get there? He would tell them something definite. Carefully laying his bat on the ground, he straightened his cap, put his hands into his pockets, and sat down in the bushes. "Your arm's in fine shape, Billy Chace, but you know very well that Tom Dalton's is better. Why don't you decide, and quit acting like such a fool? All you want is to be out there where everyone can see you, and hear them yell, 'Hooray for Chace.' It's a wonder your cap doesn't split right now! Look here, William Ruggless Chace, you are going to send Tom Delton into the box. You are going to sit on the bench, coach the fellows, and leave Tom in the box, unless he is absolutely rotten. Do you understand? And don't be a sissy, and change your mind a dozen times before three o'clock either." "I say, where's Bill? It's five after two." Billy laughed to himself, reached thru the bushes, and gave a fat leg a jerk. Stubby sat down suddenly. "Right here, Stubbs. Hello, Don, I must have been asleep," he added, grinning. "Come on and catch for me, one of you, until the other fellows come. Hey," he sang out to the bunch coming, "get a move on, you guys. The Hill fellows will be here pretty quick." 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 85 ---------- By three o'clock a crowd of boys and girls and a miscellany of older people had gathered. Billy was just ready to send his men out, when he caught sight of his fa her. He hesi ated a momenf, and nearly gave in. Then he turned to the expectant boys. "All right, fellows. Let's go. Snap into that lively, Tom." The game was on. Billy was soon absorbed in the play, yelling, encouraging, coaching the fellows on the bench. Mr. Chace watched his son and smiled. They won, and when the triumphant captain got home his father met him at the door. He said, with a big hand on Billy's shoulder, and an emphasis Billy never forgot, "I'm proud of you, son.

Ik ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 86 ---------- Trimson Moon SECOND PRIZE STORY (By Florence Gerfen) The moon had just risen above the rim of the tropic sea. Crim-son and brazen it was, as if half obscured by the wraith of some guilty soul, crimson with the blood of past misdeeds. The black, low islands, fringed with palms, appeared here and there on the horizon, and then dropped slowly out of sight as if glad to escape the great bloody eye of the moon. The slight, warm breeze that slipped through the rigging of the ship louched mly face with the touch of dying memories. The atmosphere of the night weighed upon me, but I scarcely noticed it, in my anxiety and worry. Each throb of the old tramp steamer's engine seemed but the echo of throbs of my heart, but the heart of the steamer beat in rythm, while mine would race with hope for a few minutes, and then almost stop in sudden despair. The frag-rance of the sweet southern fruit in the hold of the ship did not de-light me as it usually did-it somehow irritated nme and made my fever greater, for Ellen loved the scent of tropic fruits, and she was still so far away! The steamer seemed to be enjoying the soft warmth of the K southern sea, for it crept along very slowly, with a certain air of luxury about it. It was like an old, old native woman, drinking each moment's cup of comfort to the very last drop. A terrible old woman, heeding no one's happiness but her own. Gradually I worked myself into a half frenzy--what a fool I had been, what an unutterable fool! What if I should reach home after -but no; if I thought of that my reason would surely desert me and I would be of no use. Now, that telegram-such a small piece of paper to carry such terrible, terrible news! "Come quickly-.Ellen dying-Mother." What golden days we had 'passed before I was sent here brim-muing with sunshine and joy--and Ellen was the center of all the sun-shine and joy in the world for me. Then the clouds of good fortune came, and my chief offered me a Commission to Malaya to settle some inconsequential misunderstanding with the natives. The price of my going left me breathless. I accepted the work and hurried to tell Ellen of it. As I hurried I was thinking that perhaps it could be our honeymoon-and what a honeymoon that trip would be! Tropic flowers and tangled jungles, and Ellen more beautiful than any tropic flower that grew. I told Ellen my plans with incoherent bub-bling words, but, when we asked her mother and she refused Ellen her request and pleaded her ill health, I thought I had realized the utter-most depths of despair. Ellen's mother was a half invalid-but she i ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 87 ---------- II JA' G r,57'x" i was also an inveterate society climber, and a big church wedding for Ellen and me would have given her an opportunity to climb one step farther up the ladder of social success with unrelenting firmness. She held her point and Ellen, good and dutiful daughter that she was, agreed to her mother's demands and even reproached herself for wanting to go in the first place. So I went alone and spent my time on the boat in hating and wondering at the "why" of ambition such as Ellen's mother had. My work in Malaya was nearly finished-hard head-straining work it was-when that lelegram came. Ellen was hurt! Dying! I took the first boat home I found-why hadn't I waited a day ald taken a fast San Francisco liner? But I hadn't and now, evena now, Ellen might be (lead ! And yet the boat crept along- slowly, throbbingly-one day followed ano'her with heart rending monotony and all nature seemed at peace and rest! The air was very still-a despairing calm came over me. I looked up at the moon-it was as clear and pure as the depths of great floating water lily! A little way down the moon-path was a misty, drifting shape-as it came slowly nearer, it seemed the form of an angel. It seemed that I had seen it before, and I forgot all else, so closely did it compel my attention. It floated nearer, it was Ellen herself-- no. Oh no-not Ellen- but Ellen's soul! I felt no sadness-no sorrow; I reached out my arms to her and called her name. Lingering sweetly, she smiled, and then stood before me and above me. I tried to grasp the end of her fluttering scarf and her luminous, lovely hands, but clumsy hands grasped only-mist. Then Ellen leaned closer-closer-put her mist hands upon my eyes-a white, sweet pang went thru me, and the world was a dark, whirling chaos. I sank thru countless ages-and then-I slept. How long I was unconscious, I do not know. To me it seemed many years; the others on the steam;er probably called it many hours. When I awoke it was still night-smothering and dense. I felt bound -I could not move more than a fraction of an inch. Something caught in my throat-some one was speaking. I knew who it was. It was the old negro steward. "Is dis all right, Cap'un, suh?" "Sew it a little tighter, Jase; poor boy, it was terrible the way his anxiety killed him. He had a weak heart, I suppose." The greathearted old Captain passed on, and I heard him talk-ing in a subdued voice to the first mate. Slowly, bit by bit, the situation came to me-terrifying, appal-ling. I had remained unconscious so long that the unschooled cap-tain had thought me dead, and I really was bound-bound in the canvas cerements of those who are buried at sea! My head reeled and whirled like the moon on a cloudy, wind-driven night. My heart nearly stopped and then began to pound against mny ribs furiously. After a few moments I grew cooler and my brain cleared. I must tear the canvas, for the steward had left ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 88 ---------- me and no one would notice me till I was lowered into the sea. I tensed my muscles for one great effort. I strained-but the canvas would not give. Three times I tried-then-surely I heard running foot steps that grew louder quickly. I rested a moment, for my s rength was almost gone, then put all my remaining strength against that canvas-it strained-it tore! I tried again-and the canvas fell from me-the seamis gave way-and the cool, caressing winds were blowing over mse-the blessed winds of heaven! I looked at the canvas-I stared-for the canvas wrappings were torn indeed--only the canvas was made by a firm which manu-factures a very good grade of wool blankets, blankets which are very hard -o tear! And the wind-- was blowing thru my bedroom window! I leaped to the window; surely the moon would be crimson, or at least, a great white disk ! It was neither-only a weak, watery cres-cent. What was the use? I tumbled back into bed and tried to keep warm in the cold February night with the torn canvas (?) blan-kets in which I had nearly been buried in the tropic sea.

Hill) I stood in an iron foundry. I saw a heap Of old iron, broken pumps, shoe lasts, And fla irons. There was pig-iron, too, Ruster, ugly. I said to the Master, "What can you do with this? It's purpose Has been served. There is no good in it." The Master gently answered, "Judge not hastily- Wait and see. His helpers took up the iron and put it In'o a furnace. The flames grew very hot, The bellows fiercely blew. It seemed to me That naught was left but fire, which burns a space And 1 hen is gone forever. I said again, "Is it not lost ? Will it be found once more?" He smiled-"Naught shall be lost. What seemeth loss Is really gain." At last the work was done. From out the furnace door There poured the iron-a streami of liquid fire! I gazed, spellbound and dumb, the wonder of it Was so great. "Is this the end? Oh! 'tis worth the fire And every trial beside, that ugly iron Should blossom into beauty fair." The Master Smiled. " 'Tis not the end-the work I meant Is but begun." They poured the glowing stuff into molds, And hid it in black sand. I waited to see What wondrous thing would come of it. The Master Gave the word. The molds were opened. Within Were new pumps, and shoe-lasts, and flatirons. "0 shame," I cried, "that such unearthly beauty Should descend to uses so base." The 1Master chided, "What us is molten iron to man? From this Take a lesson to thy heart: Be cleansed; Be tried in the fire-but more than purity Is service." ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 90 ---------- arrria Atut---lttruber (By Gladys Southard) Martch 2, 1922.

But I notise he never sent me anny-thing and I have to clean out the ash tray after him neerly every morning. The old lizzard. Gloria dident send only one letter to you this week. Ma noticed it two. She usually sends three or four at leased. The other night Ma told Pa she thought you and Gloria were practicly ingaged but Pa laphed at her. Gloria doesent know her own mind he told Ma. Then they saw me. I thought you was in bed young lady. Says Pa. I came down to ask Ma where my middy tie for tomorrow was. I says, Well dont sneek in so quiet after this. Says Pa. I knew you and Gloria werent ingaged but I dident tell them so. You are two old for her. I looked at your picture in our history again. Your wiskers are alwost white. You are very old. K I did not know old mien went to unionversity. When Gloria came back from Seattle she offen talked about you. She told Ma she thought you were a peach and an old dear. She did not say how old. She was always righting to you then and if I sneazed or coffed she made Ma send me out of the room, so she could get a littil sense to her letter she said. She made me so mad once I woodent pick up hairpins off her bedroom floor for a weak. I gess she likes Mister Smead the way she dolls up. She combs her hair funny now. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy. June 20, 1922. Dear Mister Robert Lee, A terruble thing has happind. You remember I told you about Mister Smead a long time ago. About a month ago. So many things have happind I havent had mutch time to right. Well Mister Smead is gone and Pa says he wont come back. I dont see how Pa knows. I will tell you all about what happind sinse I rote you last time. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 92 ---------- About two weeks ago when I was coming home from Janeie Briggses I was tiptoing over the wet grass where the sprinkler had been put after Pa had made the lawn and I stumbled over the sprink-ler and fell kawash. I fellt terrable. Mostly on account of what I knew Ma wood say. I was brushing the cut grass offen my middy and wonderring what I wood say to Ma when I heard voises on the front portch. I heard Mister Smlead say littul one and I wasent going to let him talk about me with out me knowiing it. I sneeked up and sat down by the Virgina Creaper ver still. Littul one he said really you don't know what youve ment to me. I knew then he wasent talking about me but I just coodent go. Then Gloria said Oh Larry so funny. Then they dident say anything for a long time. I thought girls were shallo fickle creechurs but you are so dif-frent. I love you Gloria said Mister Smead. I knew I ought to go then but my foot was asleep and I reely coodent budge. I stayed just another teeny minute but when I thought how terrable Glori wood feel if she saw me there and how terrable she wood make me feel if she cought me I got up on my feet which were both asleep (and you can't think how terrably they felt) and hobbeld around to the back door. I went upstairs and I gess I m~st have taken a terreble long time to undress. Because pretty soon Gloria came upstairs and went K into Mas bedroom and I heard them talking terrably fast and loud and I heard Gloria start crying and then laphing. In the morning at breakfast Gloria had on a new ring. It was two big for her. I found out next day that it was Mister Smeads, and that it was a frat ring whatever that is and that he told her he was going to get her a dimond pretty soon. She was blushing pretty and she had an extra good do on her hair. Pa acted trubbled and left as soon as breakfast was over with. About ten oclock he came tearring back home. He was so excited he nearly fell over Gloria in the hallway. She was trying to get Mister Smead over the telephone. No use to try to call up that jay snorts Pa hes skiped the country. Pa came in and told us all about it. He said Mister Scroggs of the First Nashnel Bank had been superstishus of Mister Smead from the very first. He looked him up Pa said and found out he was giving the people a raw deal. I asked Pa what a raw deal was and was it good cooked and he said hush up an why wasent I at school. And I says it was Saturday and Gloria ran off to her room and Ma went after without even washing the pie dough off her hands that she had left on when Pa called her in. About all Gloria did was stay in her room and cry. She dident come out all day. She dident even let Ma come in very much. 09 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 93 ---------- I heard her say o1t0h ink he was a. faker and a cheat once when I went passed her door. Next morning she came down to breakfast. She ate breakfast without saying a word, so I gess she felt pretty bad. Thats all that happind for about a weak. Then one evning when I past the door to go to bed she and Ma were talking. Oh mother she said I reelize now it was only a mad infatuashun. His clothes his style his talk. We were never sooted to each other. We quarled a great deal. He was so selfish. I reelize it now. I am glad this happind. It woke me up. I see his faults so plainly now but his personnalty covered them when I was with him. It was all a silly love affair. But mother Gloria started crying t errably the sad-dest part is that the man I reely love I have treated like dirt, like dir'-. And then Gloria cried something awful. I went away and pretty soon Mia came out and when she saw ie she said not to make any noise because Gloria had a wreched headake. The next morning when I past Glorias room the door was open. I went in. The waste basket was nearly full of torn letters. I read some of them. Some of them said Dear Robert I know I have been at fault and Dear Bob In my last letters I was not nice to you and Dear Robert I want you to forgive me and lots of others. None of them were finished. I ran down to our mail box but there was no letter there for the mail man to post. Gloria had not written a real le'ter to mail. K Gloria is awful sad. Ma is sad. Pa is sad. And I go off to see Janie Briggses nearly every day after school. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy. June 24, 1922. Dear Mr. Robert Lee, There is the nicest man at our house now. He is Glorias new fel-low. He is lots diffrent than Mister Smead. I like him. So says Gloria. So does Ma. Pa does two. He came from Seattle. He just graduated from unionversity. He is ingaged to Gloria. Gloria said she knew him before. They are terrably in love I gess. Gloria is so happy. His name is Robert Lee. Robert Lee. Why thats your name. I never thought of that. Ill bet hes your litlul boy and your his Pa. Ill bet he wouldent like it if he knew I was righting to you. I gess i better not right any more. Oh well Janie has moved away. I can right to her. Loveingly yours, Marcia Ann Percy. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 94 ---------- Mouutai Ireb (By G. K. Stephens) Mavis stood for a while shading her blue eyes with her brown hands, gazing down the rough mountain road. The figure of her father failed to appear. A blue jay scolded hoarsely in the beech tree by the well, flitting from bough to bough. The log cabin perched upon the mountain side, the sun bakled cornfield behind, and the green wooded heights beyond glimmnered in the sunlight of the early autumn afternoon. The girl crossed over behind the well, waved a friendly hand at the blue jay, and climbed the rail fence, half buried in wild honey suckle. She followed a narrow trail winding through the cool trees, her pink calico dress and red sun bonnet flaming against the green background. Keeping up an easy stride she at last came to the rough, rib bones of a deep gorge. As the mountain water raced over its rocky bed it sent up twinkling, whispering notes. Mavis put her open hands to the corners of her mouth and called. Only the echo came back for an answer. She sat down on a flat rock beneath an oak tree. The K soft wind roused the trees, and the sunlight streamed through brok-enly. She leaned back, her thick braids dropping forward. She K knew he would come presently, tall and strong, with his squirrel rifle across his shoulder, smiling with love all for her. Thus lost in pleasing day-dreams she dozed away. A gunshot broke the stillness. Mavis jumped to her feet, alive and alert. In a clump of trees across the gorge a breath of white smoke rose and melted away. Something fell in the underbrush. After an interval a m;an emerged. "Oh! hits ye," she exclaimed. "Yes, hits me," he answered, quietly. "What did ye-all shoot, Jim ?" Leaning on his rifle, he looked at her helplessly. "Mavis, honey girl, do ye-all love me ?" "But what did ye shoot at, Jim?" "''Mavis, honey girl, swear that ye love me." "Youens-all know I love ye. My men folks kill yours, and yours kill mine; s'ill I love ye." "Then Mavis, honey gal-" "Quick, Jim, tell me." "Hit was me or him, Mavis, honey gal, and if ye don't believe , me I will go wi:h the sheriff." Her body trembled and a wave of trouble crossed her face. "What- quick-tell me! Who? Oh! My God, tell me, tell me a now. Don't wait, Jim." XT ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 95 ---------- She looked at him, her eyes wide and terrified. "Hit was me or him, Mavis, but I shot first, and I seed his face when he fell, Mavis, honey gal. Hit was yore dad." A low moan, a terrible moan, a moan that means a change in one's life, shook her. Her eyes were pitiful and pleading. She fell toward him among the drifted leaves. He carried her away through the woods until at last they came near a falls. He laid her on the moss where the drifting spray came up. An hour later they had made their plans for the future. "We'ens will go West, Mavis honey gal. We'ens will all go tonight, and live like the young preacher man says. Live like Chris-tians, Mavis, honey gal." "Hain't any of we'ens all left now, but me and ma, Jim. But I love ye, Jim." "Tonight then, Mavis, honey gal." "Tonight," she repeated hurriedly. She walked fast through the gathering gloom. As she neared the cabin, she pased the hen coop where a flock of half grown chick-ens with ragged feathers were going to roost. They chirped drowsily as they crowded close together for the night. When Mavis reached the cabin her mother was sitting on the little porch smoking a stubby corn-cob pipe. "KY our dad shore am late, Mavie. 'Peers to me I heard a shot down by the gorge about an hour ago. I don't reckon ye happened to come by that-air way?" "No. I come by the spring." The old woman darted a glance at her, but Mavis' look was as indifferent as her voice. They sat for some time in solitude. Crickets chirped, katydids murmured, and an owl hoo-hooed out on the heights. The old woman arose and entered the cabin, dragging her heavy shoes across the rough floor. Mavis sat for some time lost in troubled thoughts of the silent figure that lay half-buried in the underbrush down by the gorge. At last a young moon peeped above the heights, and off to the east dark clouds rolled near the horizon. Mavis arose and entered the cabin. 'After the simple meal, Mavis climbed the ladder leading to the unfinished room next to the roof. She lit the lamp and placed it on the table near the only window. The light shone out on the soft branches and leaves of the locust tree in the corner by the lean-to. Mavis sat for some time with her face buried in her hands, but she finally gathered a few things together and placed them near the window. A friendly whinney came from the barn; looking out she saw the old white mare moving about. The girl remembered then that she had forgotten to feed the horse. I1 r ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 96 ---------- The dark clouds were fast spreading across the sky, and light-ning flashed above the hills off to the east. When the old clock struck ten, Mavis crawled through the window, out on the roof of the lean-to kitchen. She hurriedly climbed to the ground. The wind moaned through the pine grove, and from far away the baying of hounds floated out over the night. She s'opped and looked back at the cabin. Bounce, the old shepherd dog, was following her. She scolded him. He whined, sitting in the middle of the road, and watched her disappear around a a bend down the mountain. The deep voice of rumbling thunder rolled over the sky. Large drops of rain pattered through the trees. Near the gorge Mavis found him holding two Blue Grass horses. They were startled by hearing some one call from across The gorge. Bounce, the shepherd, came bounding around the bend. They led The horses into the shadows by the trees. Presently, when 1he moon peeped through the clouds for an instant, Mavis saw her mother with the rifle across her shoulder, standing, looking across the gorge. Again the call came. T'he old woman answered. "That ye, Pa?" "Yes. The young devil thought he got me, but it's just a K scratch along by my ear." K The old woman hurried across to him. The rain was coming faster, and The lightning broke in orange and yellow streaks. The sounds of galloping horses came from down the mountain. The old womian, with the heavy frame of the man leaning on her shoulder, stopped and listened. "Father, Father," she said. "I would jest as leave see her in hell-fire." At Tunamp in tp Nortl4lan (By Floris M. Clark) The pearl-capped mountains tower toward he moon, As pure and unattainable as they; The cool wind murmurs thru the monarch pines, Rippling The moon-path on the Alaskan bay; And underneath the darkness of the pines A camp fire glows, a spot of warmth and cheer, Freedom from prisoning walls and crowded streets! A camp fire, with the pine trees murmuring near! ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 97 ---------- ROBERT SHAMBLEY "We were to have a new schoolma'am," said old man Porter as he drew his chair up on the opposite side of the stove and sent from his puckered mouth a small dark cloud that barely missed my head and lit directly behind me in a box of sawdust. "She were to be the first of that specie in this neck of the woods. You know in them days, some forty years ago, that is before the time of the Northern Pacific, every bit of the grub we wanted, we packed smilingly over the hills from Olympia. Them were the times when every mouthful came twenty miles on the tender of your back. "As I said a while ago, we were to have a schoolma'am and she were to be a girl from Ford's Prairie. Appears like the Boyer's had met her at a church picnic somewheres and she bragged on Mrs. Boyer's good pies and nice cookies; she had a permit and wanted a job so we-all decided to hire her and start a school in our church-house. "We had a lanky, unhandsome youth here, by the namle of Braker, Bill were his common name. Now, Bill were the only member of our male population who didn't have someone at home to dictate his thots. We decided it would be a discredit to our community if that schoolma'am left it alive and unmarried. Charlie Haskins and I talked it over, and Bill had heard so much of her beauty from the Boyers he decided he would win her or suffocate in tryin'. We had also heard she were a reg'lar church- goer; so Charlie an' me decided to break Bill in by takin' him to church. "As per instructions, Bill gets himself a Bible and a song book and Charlie and me escorts him to the house of worship. Charlie takes the lead and I holds Bill be'ween us and steers him straight up the aisle and down in a seat betwixt Charlie an' I. Everyone appears so surprised to see Charlie an' I at church that I gets uneasy an' looks around, an' Bill's smokin' his pipe! Bill gets powerfully intirusted in the first song, and in spite of Charlie and me jabbin' him in the ribs with our elbows, Bill were transversin' the last line of them four verses, while the congrega'ion had stopped to get their breath before attackin' the second stanza. Then Parson Watkins offered a prayer; me and Charlie grabbed Bill's hands just as he were about to demand an encore. Then came the sacrament, served by Mrs. Ainsworth. Before I could stop him Bill had half the little biscuits and was drinkin' down the wine. I felt real sorry for the poor lady when the tears filled her eyes; for it meant twenty miles for more wine. "Well, I jes' state these incidents as evidence of Bill's ignorance and to show you how Charlie and me threw our reputation to the winds all for Bill. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 98 ---------- I I "At last the schoolma'am came. Bill got a new shirt that ap-peared as tho some one was playing a game of checkers on it and moved so many times they got disgusted and quit; a new celluloid collar that you could look in and see whose coming to town, if Bill were standing out there on main street; a coat that almost forgot to quit and a pair of pants that didn't hardly commence. Dick Osgood gave his old derby hat that had begun to boast that its ancestors were Irish. We couldn't find no shoe polish so we scraped up some ink and we polished the hat also. "The night came for Bill's first meetin'; he was to escort her home from church. Here in the meantime it was agreed I was to sneak up and sit under her porch to see that Bill made no mistakes. I impressed Bill not to try and shake hands the first night as it never paid to be too forward; Bill went to church and I sneaked to my post. "I must have gone to sleep for all at once I heard her and Bill cooin' an' I felt somethin' scratchin' and pushin' at my back; gettin' disgusted, I reached around in the dark to get what I thot was a cat. It weren't long till I realized it were a skunk. Bill and her dispersed. I decided right there Bill would have to practice his love appeals on Charlie as that weren't any safe above under that porch. "Next day we met right here in this selfsame post- office. Bill told us how he looked into her eyes and saw cabbage growing in a lit le garden around their home and all that time he had a itching at his heart. I told Bill 'twere all fancy and he no doubt got flees from that pesky dog of ours. But Bill raved on about his divine lady and I bet Charlie five dollars Bill would be married at the end of a month; I only got two and a half because Bill made the hitch before two weeks. "Maybe you've never been a married woman and taught a lot of young fellows how to dance; when they learned they quit you cold and sallied forth with the very same girls that refused to accept 'em until they were graduates. Well, that was the way with Bill an' us. After Charlie and me brought him up from the slums and accepted him as a protygee, so to speak, he married that schoolma'am and whenever he saw Charlie or me, he got a kink in the back of his neck that pulled his chin higher and higher till he was clear past us. All ihis time she'd look at Bill and grin pretty; like a spider grins at a fly that's caught in its web and it expects to live off of fer a while. 'Now, Bill's dream of cabbage around his home never matured; for it would be askin' a favor of a water-lily to grow in such a place. It seemed Bill needed a babling brook to murmur his undying love to his learned bride. So in a little canyon where a brook blowed that summer, Bill built his home. There they resided till the first floods of rain in September an' then Bill's litle brook became a roarin' river and Bill's place laid with one corner hangin' onto Squire Davis's fence post. I I I I fi ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 99 ---------- That weren't enuf to discourage Bill so he bot that land from Squire Davis an' put three more fence posts under the house and ap-peared to get more dignified on account of the altitood of his home. Under that high house Bill made a pig-pen and it weren't long, only a few years, until them hillsides were gruntin' with pigs. About that time the railroad came rushin' thru and nestled down here for six long months to cut thru this Porter Bluff. En' durin' that time the railroad men must eat; so Bill's herd of grunters dissembled down to a soloist, which Bill kep' as a souvenir. From that time on Bill's smile were worth a couple thousand. "After we had all declared Bill crazy with swine-itis he came out of our prediction announcin' prosperity. Then came the panic of '93. Dollars wuz so seldom seen that if it hadn't been fer a stray eagle flyin' over now and then, we'd a clean forgot th' emblem of this United States. "Well then, Bill wasn't content with being king o' the mighty dollar association of our neighborhood, so he made a display o' spend-in' every cent of his two thousand dollars for limber claims, and you can bet he got a lot of them. Why, in them days we wuz more par-ticular about the lumber we burned for wood than you are about your coffins. Bill worked on the section to pay his taxes and Charlie Haskins laughed at him. But Bill plodded along happy, like that fellow among the cannibals that wuz to be cooked fer a mulligan and had to furnish his own kittle. Bill hung on like mad. Say! don't you know Bill? Bill that had his picture in last Sunday's paper with the big high hat and swaller-tailed coat? Bill what's going to take a trip to Europe in his newly-assembled yacht? Say, didn't you read that ! Bill that's worth ten million! Well! Well! Don't know Bill! I'll swan !" 3rishl lumber #ong (By Floris M.

News, jokes, announcements-these are but a few of the things that make the Messenger a weekly forceful reminder that the Normal is a live school-that its faculty and students are really accomplishing things. Beginning shortly before 1903, the Student's Association has published The Weekly Messenger, and has endeavored each year to make it more representative of school life, more intersting and more worth while in every way. At first the Messenger was published quarterly, then monthly and, since 1916, weekly. The Board of 100 ANNE BRAN NICK - ----- ------ P aunt ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 101 ---------- Control, made up of five students and two faculty representatives, is responsible for its management. The organization of the Messenger consists of a business manager who receives a salary, an Editor-ii- Chief who receives four credits in English, and a staff of reporters who receive two credits each. The business manager is elected by the year and the Editor-in- Chief may receive credit for only one quarter's work. The regular issue of the Messenger contains eight pages, but specials containing exira pages are sometimes issued. A high grade quality of magazine paper is used, which makes it more attractive than the ordinary school paper. Its attractiveness is also enhanced by the quality and beauty of its cuts. Believing that the duty of a paper is to attract and interest i's readers the management of the Messenger has attempted to get away from the old lime, long drawn out news articles, and to make each item stand out so vividly and compellingly that it must be read. From a random census taken in the school, it was found that almost in-variably the students now read the Messenger from cover to cover. The editorial policy of the Messenger the past year has been a constructive one, keeping in mind at all times the best interests of the school. Wholesome physical and social activities have at all times been earnestly championed and high standards of scholarship continually upheld. The Messenger has also increasingly urged stu- K dent attendance at all school activities. It is commonly accepted as a fact that the Messenger has done more than any other one institution to create a real school spirit. At the beginning of the first quarter, Roscoe Altman, a graduate of Whatcom High School was elected business manager. He gave up this position at the end of a month as he was forced to leave school for the time being. Wade Bristol, a graduate of Nooksack High School, was then elected business manager. Under the business man-agement of MIr. Bristol the Messenger has been put on a sound finan-cial basis. It now has more inches of advertising than ever before in its history, and it is believed that the advertisers are getting results. Dorothy Forch, who spent time in the University of Idaho and the University of California, was elected editor for the first quarter. She came well recommended and proved herself well fitted for the po-sition. Nothing escaped her eagle eye, and under her guiding hand th Messenger was, throughout the whole quarter, a common medium of informiation, instruction and entertainment. Anne Brannick, a graduate of the Assumption High School of Bellingham, was elected editor for the second quarter. Anne proved herself a real journalist and under her leadership the Messenger became probably morely widely read than ever before. She was especially noted for her clever editorials and the enthusiasm aroused in school activities by them was undoubtedly beyond parallel in the history of the school. 1777 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 102 ---------- Oliver R. Ingersoll, a graduate of Nooksack High School, was elected editor for the third quarter. His chief aim was to make the Messenger such that it would be read by all students, and to increase its attractiveness in every way. Under his editorship the use of filler was for the most part done away with and each item or article pub-lished invariably dealt with something of interest to students. He also encouraged the drawing of cartoons and during the latter part of his editorship several were published. Miss Olive Edens, the Messenger critic, left in the middle of the year for a tour of Europe. She had endeared herself to all members s of the Messenger staff and proved herself not only a real manager and critic, but a constant source of inspiration. Her place was taken by Mrs. Vaughan, who has carried on the work in a wonderful man-ner. Her interest and enthusiasm for the Messenger have been a real inspiration to the staff and her timely help and advice have caused constant improvement in the paper. a rr 102 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 103 ---------- 103 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 104 ---------- r 1921 Football heBudrl Oct. 15 ..................There Normal ..............- 14 Sedro-W oolley H.

At Sedro-Woolley, on October 15, the Normal defeated the Wool-ley High School, 14 to 0, in the first official game of the season. Ex-cept for scoring, however, the game was in no way one-sided. Wool-ley made big yardage in Ihe first two plays, and the two teams di- vided equally the possession of the ball from then until the end of the first quarter, the Normal having it in Woolley territory at the close of the quarter. Soon after the beginning of the second quarter it seemied as if the Normal would score, but she was held for downs on the five-yard line and Woolley took the ball. A few minutes later the Normal got the ball and began advances, but was halted for downs on the ten- yard line. From then until the end of the first half, neither goal was in danger. The third quarter began with a repetition of the same perform-ance, and ended with the Normal in possession of the ball. In the final quarter, with the ball on Woolley's 15-yard line, the Normal was given 7 yards' penalty on Woolley, and on the next play Gaas-land put the ball across for the first score in the game. By a series of short plays ending in an end-run by Fisher, the Normal added another touchdown. "Keppy" kicked both goals. Normal line-up: Kepplinger, Radcliffe, Cone, McComas, Knowl-ton, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Gaasland, Macpherson, Campbell, Fisher. Sub-stitutes: Allen, Miller and Hatley. 104 I i ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 105 ---------- On Saturday, October 22, the Normal squad met the Keyport Torpedo Station eleven, in the first home gam;e of the season. During the first minute of the game, Keplinger, right end for Normal, made a thrilling 70-yard dash, ending in a touchdown. The Gobs received on the next kick-off, but the Normal got the ball on a forward pass and a few minutes later "Keppy" trotted over the line for another seven points. Score at end of first quarter, Nor-mal 14, Keyport 0. "Keppy" "knocked 'em dead" again in the second quarter, by breaking away with a forward pass and tallying seven more points for the Normal. In the second half, the Gobs made yardage several times by line plunges, but were forced to punt on their 60- yard line. "Rusty" Campbell began hitting the line for small gains until within 5 yards of the goal, when he himself carried the skin over for the final score of the gamle. In the last quarter, the Normal was within one yard of the goal when time was called and the game ended 28 to 0. Normal line-up: Keplinger, "P op" Rairdon, Radcliffe, Mc- Comas, Knowlton, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Macpherson, Miller, Fisher and Campbell. Substitutes: Wynne for Knowlton; Cone for Wynne. It was on a sloppy home field that the Normal met and defeated the eleven from the College of P get Sound, October 29. C. P. S. K received at the start, and for a time seemed to have things her own way. Soon, however, the Normal got the ball and at the beginning of the second quarter sent Macpherson across the line with it. Tacoma kicked, and a little later Macpherson staged a place kick, adding 3 points to the score. The Normal, feeling satisfied with her achievements, went to sleep long enough for C. P. S. to score 6 points via the touchdown route; but in the final quarter "Rusty" Campbell sealed the victory with another touchdown. Final score: Normal 17, C. P. S. 6. The most noteworthy incident in this game was the place kick by Macpherson, who kicked the wet, mud-covered ball the neat dis-tance of 35 yards, over the bar. This is a feat seldom attempted under similar conditions, and very rarely accomplished. 'Normal line-up: Keplinger, Rairdon, Radcliffe, McComas( Cone, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Campbell, Macpherson, Gaasland and Fisher. Sub-stitutes: Miller for Fisher; Knowllton for Radcliffe; Powell for Kep-linger; Keplinger for Powell; Hatley for Cone; Cone for McComas. The first and only defeat of the season came on November 4, when the Niormal met U. of W. Frosh here. Although outclassed and outplayed, the Normal team fought hard to the finish, and the game was closer than the score might indicate. The Baby Sun Dodgers scored a touchdown and goal in the first, and again in the last quar-ters of the game. Macpherson's 30-yard pass to Tryggvi in the last 105 : r ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 106 ---------- .c eight minutes of play came near to causing a tie score, as the field was clear, but Tryggvi dropped the pass, and the Frosh began a series of passes which ended in another touchdown. Normal line-up: McComas, Knowlton, Cone, Rairdon, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Keplinger, Campbell, Fisher (Captain), Gaasland and Mac-pherson. A fitting close to the Normal's football season was made here on Armistice Day, when the White and Blue met and defeated St. Mar-tin's College, of Lacey. The game was close. Although the Normal goal was threatened twice, the invaders were kept from scoring by hard fighting. The first half was about "nip and tuck" with the * visitors playing a little better than the locals. In the second half Gaasland replaced Miller and added fresh strength to the offense. After a series of plays, linebucks and passes, the Normal put the ball on the one-yard line. Captain Fisher carried it over. From then till the end the teams see-sawed and fought for possession of the ball. The final score stood: Normal 6, St. Martin's College 0. Normal line-up: Tryggvi, Hoyt, Cone, McComas, Radcliffe, Rairdon, Keplinger, Campbell, Miller, Fisher and Macpherson. Sub-stitutes: Gaasland for Miller, Allen for Gaasland. iDue to the extreme success of the latest football season, with all its handicaps, there is every reason to expect the development of a winning team next fall. Starting with no letter men and with no football field, Coach Carver developed a team which won four out K of five official games played. The following letter men have ex- K pressed their intentions of returning next fall quarter: Tryggvi, McComas, Knowlton, Rairdon, Keplinger, Miller and Gaasland. With these men to serve as the nucleus for the new team, and with the home field to play on, promised by the new administration, Coach Carver looks forward to the coming football season with much opi imism. 106 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 107 ---------- K' ./ S.

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

Both teams played hard, the home team winning in the last few minutes of play. II I I 1 Ellensburg Normal. January 27 witnessed the defeat of the local Normal by Ellens-burg, 23 to 14, in the Normal's small gym. Hughes, star forward, for B. S. N. S., missed many shots by a narrow margin. The game was fast and clean. The visitors led 11 to 10 at the end of the first half. On the following night, in the Whatcom gym, the Normal staged a strong. comeback, defeating Ellensburg 18 to 10. The whole team starred, outplaying their opponents at every stage of the game. Vancouver Ex-Normal. The Normal lost to the Vancouver E-Normal, there, February 4, by the score of 16 to 26. This squared accounts, as the winners were beaten in Bellingham several weeks previous. The Normal team was weakened by the absence of Hughes and Vanderford, forwards. Miller and Allen filled their places, Mc- Comas, center, and Fisher and Keplinger, guards. East-of-Mountain Tour. The first game of the East-of-the-mountain tour was played Feb-ruary 6, with the Leavenworth Athletic Club, who were defeated by the close score of 21 to 19. Hughes and Vanderford did not accom-pany the team on this tour. Cone starred in this game, shooting the needed baskets. The next three games on the tour were lost by the Normal. On February 8, Cheney Normal defeated the invaders 25 to 17, in a hard-fought game. They secured the lead in the last few min-utes of play. Ellensburg Normal won two games from the Bellingham Normal, on February 10 and 11. The scores were, 30 to 9 in the first game, and 37 to 17 in the second. In both games Ellensburg held a strong lead all the way. Hughes, the Normal's star player and captain, was very much missed on this trip, as most of the Normal's teamwork hinged around him. St. Martin's College. One of the fastest and closest games of the season was played here on February 18, when the Normal team defeated St. Martin's College five by the score of 25 to 24. The score see-sawed back and forth all through the game, first one team leading, then the other The first half ended 16 to 12 in St. Martin's favor. In the preliminary game, the Normal Blues (second team) lost to Blaine High School by the score of 26 to 13, due to weakness in teamwork. .

On it the first squad depends for its practice and training, and from its per-sonnel are taken many of the first team players. This year the second team was a success in spite of the large number of games lost. Competition for places on the team was keen throughout the season, no man having a particular place "cinched." Steady improvement in passing and in general floor work could be seen throughout the season. It will surprise many a basketball judge if the fast, clever work of Lindstedt, Abbey and Reddick will not make them dangerous contenders for first team berths next year. With the coming long-needed gymnasium equipment, there are well grounded hopes that a first and a second team, of first rank, will be developed next year. 115 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 116 ---------- A4I w 116 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 117 ---------- The baseball season opened at the beginning of the spring quar-ter, with indoor practice. Mit practice continued in 1he gym, until the weather permitted outdoor practice. This had to be confined mostly to batting, as no adequate field or diamond was at hand. A practice game was played on March 25, with the Fairhaven High School nine. The outcome was in the Normal's favor, with the score 15-6. The main weakness of the team was wild throwing, due to lack of facilities for practice. Much hard slugging accounted for the Normal's high score. On April 1, the second game of 1he season was played with Sedro-Woolley High, whom the Normal trimmed 18 to 6. Much im-provement in throwing was noticeable, while the slugging continued strong. Batteries for the Normal were McComas and Thomas. The next game was played on April 12, with the High School at Ferndale. The Normal again brought home the bacon-Score 11 to 1. Batteries for the Normal were McComas and Thomas, Lindstedt and Knowlton. Special features of this game were "Gazzy," getting walked, and "Little Keppy" wading knee-deep through the mud, to capture a fly. On April 15, the Normal met and defeated the husky team from K Blaine High School by the score of 7 to 1. Batting was fair, but Ran-kin, pitcher for the Normal, deserves credit for the low score of Blaine, as support was weak. Sedro-Woolley came back for more, on April 19, and got it, the score being 11 to 3, in the Normal's favor. Batteries for the Normal, McComas and Thomas. On April 26, Ferndale High was again beaten, in a return game, 15 to 3. Stowell and Bristol pitched for the Normal. So far, the Normal has not been pressed, but some hard games are yet in store for her, on April 29, and again on May 13, with the U. of W. Freshmen. While the outcome of these games is uncertain, Coach Carver places much confidence in the twirling ability of Ran-kin, and in the steady hitting of Bristol, Keplinger, Rankin, Vander-ford, Stowell, and others. Those on the squad are Rankin, Thomas, Keplinger, Vanderford, Bristol, McComas, Jenne, Allen, Stowell, Lindstedt, Rue, Knowlton, and Gaasland. 117 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 118 ---------- Trark The big track event of the season is the meet with Whatcom High School, to be held May 6. Some good material is on hand for the var-ious events, but, as is the case in all the other sports, the Normal is handicapped by the lack of adequate grounds and equipment. The distance men are Abbey, Smith and Reddick, while Allen, Vanderford and Crane will represent the Normal in the sprints, and Allen and Crane in the hurdles. The jumps are contested by Allen, Abbey, McComas, Johnson and Crane; the pole vault by Allen, Black and Jenne. Weight men are Soffainason, McComas, Allen, Black. Abbey. Allen is showing good form with the discus, and Soffainason bids fair to take a first in the shot-put, having put the ball 461/) feet in practice. 118 4.F ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 119 ---------- 119 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 120 ---------- 120 . s ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 121 ---------- r " .a #ninr aakrthalltl ELLA NORLING Ella tired out many a good guard. accuracy.

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

Both teams were all keyed up with excitement and were at their best, ready to fight a long hard battle. They were well supported by their classes. The Juniors were the victors of this game winning by 17 points with a score of 25-18. At the end of the second game the Juniors were the proud pos-sessors of 43 points and the Seniors 26, but still the Seniors were not discouraged and declared that they still had a lot of fight in them, they also had "HOPE." The decisive game was played February 27, 1922. Everyone was there. The two teams came together with a bang and they fought the game fast and furiously, but the Juniors carried away the honors again, with a score of 20-6. And the Kline Cup was theirs for another year, with a final score. of 63-32. Both teams played good, clean ball, and every girl was a good a sport thruout the entire series. 124 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 125 ---------- (_i II' AAvoTh; IML. 125 Ih .

Wilh a greater assemblage of members than ever before the club was able to render several big numbers at our student assemblies and commencements. The Choral Club has been considered so worth while that it has become a regular part of the school program, meeting at the one o'clock hour every Mondlay, under the capable and inspiring direc-tion of Mrs. Thatcher and Mrs. Spratley. 127 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 128 ---------- t aia' (uartrt The Ladies' Quartet was no doubt the most popular musical or-ganization in the Bellingham State Normal. Their first efforts resulted in rendering selections at our student assemblies and entertainmenis.

The quartet was composed of the following: Katherine Myers, soprano; Evangeline Sowers, second soprano; Fern Agee, alto; El-len Reep, second alto; Madeline Hess, accompanist; Mrs. Thatcher and Mrs. Spratley, directors.

There were several solos, dueets, and trios given by Mrs. G. W.

True Thespian spirit and pep prevailed from the very first meeting until the last. The club started off with a bang on its first meeting night, Sep-tember 29, 1921, with twenty new embers and* an equal number of former members. The new Thespians were very much impressed by the enthusiastic interest evinced by the old Thespians and were proud indeed to place their signatures on the membership roll of Bel-lingham Normal's only dramatic organization, the Thespian club. Thespian hospitality was in evidence after the meeting when a de-licious "feed" was served in honor of the new members. The club was fortunate in having a variety of talent which made it possible to give some excellent programs, featuring music and aesthetic dancing as well as dramatics. 132 -.. I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 133 ---------- It was the purpose of the club to study one act plays. About ten one-act plays were presented in the club room. Among these were: "The Maker of Dreams," and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by the Irish playwright, Yeats; "Trifles" and "Suppressed Desires," writ-ten jointly by Susan Glaspell and George Cram Cook; "The Rider of Dreams," which is perhaps Rigley Torrence's masterpiece; and "Nevertheless," and the "Medicine Man," by Stewart Walker, the origina t or of the Portmanteau theatre. A m!inute discussion of Stew-art Walker's interesting innovation, the Portmanteau theatre, was given and its good points so well brought out that the club waxed en- Ihusiastic about purchasing one, but the cost was found to be pro-hibitive. Amiong the year's most delightful evenings was the one de-voted to the study of 0. Henry, as a man and as a short story writer. The Thespian club's annual evening performance, given April 28th, was unusually successful. Three short plays, "The Land of Heart's Desire," the "Maker of Dreams," and "The Medicine Show" were presented. But do not think that the Thespians did nothing but work, for that certainly would be unfair to the many "eats" committees which the president found it necessary to appoint. Aside from the many smaller "feeds" given in the club room, the Thespians enjoyed two or three real social evenings "out." The K first was a masquerade party given on Hallowe'en night by Madeline K Hess at her home. The rooms were weirdly decorated in honor of the occasion and every member was masked. All professions, except the teaching profession, were represented. One young man went so far as to appear as an alluring young vamp. Nio, Erwin, I wouldn't think of telling who it was. Everyone had a jolly, good time, and at the evening's close refreshments in keeping with Hallow'en were served. On December 17, 1922, Thespians celebrated the season with a Christmas banquet in the private dining room of the Leopold Hotel. The table was appropriately decorated with a Chistmas tree, candy canes and other reminders of the Yule-tide . Howard Nessen, the toastmaster of the evening, unmercifully demanded an impromptu toast from everybody, the subject being the Christmas gift, which each had just received. The gifts ranged from kewpies and mechani-cal spiders to such prosaic things as scissors. .9 The Thespians did not gather again around the festal board till the time of the annual banquet, which formed a beautiful and fitting close to the Tehspian annals of 1921 and '22. 133 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 134 ---------- 4tilamtatiean Eiterarg oriety The Philomathean Literary Society is nearing the end of its twenty-second year, and still maintains its position as the foremost club in the school. The fall intiation was held at the home of Arthur Kolstad, on the banks of Lake Whatcom. At that time over thirty new members were taken through the mys eries of initiation. Many and weird were the stunts to which the candidates were subjected, the tragic effects of which were evident the following day, when the new Philos appeared at school in bandages of all descriptions but with beaming countenances. 134 1 II !II-- II ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 135 ---------- The next big event of the year was the Philo birthday party, held on November twenty-sixth at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi, at 916 High Street. Many Philo Alumni were present as well as the active members of the club. According to a long-estab-lished custom, the evening was spent in playing the Philo game, Lucien Loring carrying off the honors of the evening and receiving an appropriate prize. During refreshments several members were called upon for toasts, after which the guests departed. The party was one of the most enjoyable events in the club year. On February twenty-fifth the formal banquet of the year was held at the Pheasant. Guests included Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, and many Philo Alumini. The banquet was in the form of a progressive dinner, the guests changing tables between courses. A very inter-esling program was a part of the evening's entertainment. Toasts were given by Dr. Nash, retiring president of the Normal, Professor Philippi, sponsor of the society, and Professor Kolstad, honorary member of the club. Talks were given by several other members. The banquet came to a close following the singing of the Philo song. The Philos had the honor on the thirty-first of March of enter- taining the Cheney and Bellingham debating teams at a reception in the magnificently furnished drawing room of Edens Hall. The occasion marked the date of the clash between the two teams, in which our debaters, tho putting up a splendid fight, were defeated. Philos were proud to claim two of the Bellingham; team as active members of their society. These members were Miss Margaret Spaight K and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll. As the Klipsun goes to press the Philos are looking forward to the crowning event of the year, the annual week-end party, to be held at Mr. Kolstad's cottage, at some date in the near future. Hurrah for the Philos! May they always have as splendid an organization as they boast at the present time. Three cheers for Mr. Philippi, our sponsor! No club ever had a more worthy leader nor one who holds such a warm place in our hearts as he. 135 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 136 ---------- -7' jVung Wotin's (4rtstita Assortdtton OFFICERS LOIS HENDERSON, President ALMA BURDICK, Vice President JUDITH RING, Secretary FRANCES ROSENBERG, Treasurer CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES INGA BENTSON, Bible Study VIVIAN GUNDERSON, Meetings HELEN SMITH, ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 137 ---------- The first Sunday afternoon the president gave the message at the first meeting held in the Y. W. C. A. room. The regular weekly meetings have been held on Thursday at 2 o'clock and have always been profitable and inspiring. The first one was an informal social gathering at which old members told in what way the Association had appealed to them. The speakers at these meetings have been sometimes students, and sometimes faculty members, Missionaries and pastors. The most distinguished speaker was Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, a Bible teacher of national reputation. Nine Bible classes have been organized and carried on under competent leaders-Mr. Bond, Mrs. George Miller, Mrs. Kibbe, Mrs Hillis, Miss Gordon, Miss McDonald, Mrs. Templeton, Miss Sperry and Mrs. Vaughn. The subj 'et for this year has been the Gospel of Luke. At Dr. Nash's request, the Y. W. C. A. took charge of the recognation of Roosevelt day, and secured Dr. McPhail as speaker. Early in January the fourteenth annual Bible Institute was held for a week-end, during which seven excellent addresses were given. Mrs. J. A. Campbell, and Dr. Georgia Sattler, of Seattle, were the speakers. This was the big inspiration of 1he year, and one of the best institutes ever held. During this quarter Mrs. Clark, whose daughter is a missionary in Turkey, is teaching a mission study class in the Cross Roads of the Near East. The social service department, as far as possible, has carried flowers to sick girls. Beside the opening reception, a Thanksgiving party was given for all those in town during vacation, and a membership party at the home of Mabel Miller was given in honor of Miss Gordon. Doubtless the occasion that remains longest in the minds and hearts of all pres-ent is the sunrise Easter service on top of Sehome Hill. Only three times in fifteen years has rain prevented this meeting. This year the messages were brought by the girls. But that of which we are proudest is the fact that four of our student volunteers this year have taken up work in missionary fields. Esther Nelson '20, sailed in September to Burma; Violet Parker '15, sailed in November for Santa Domingo, and with another nurse has opened a hospital; Fay Bruneau left at Christmas to teach in Iquique. Chile, South America; On M1Larch 23rd, Clara Gordon '20, of our own faculty, sailed to Korea. This makes seventeen of our students who are under foreign mission boards, and three others are under home missionary boards. 137 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 138 ---------- 1rtbustrid Arts During the war many of the able-bodied young men withdrew from school to answer the call for service in the army, navy, aviation or the industries. Now that the war is over and conditions are get-ting back to normal many of these same young men are coming back to school, for their experience during the past few years has brought them to the realization of what a good education really means to them. They are also realizing that the teaching profession offers them many opportunities that other lines of work do not, even tho the return in dollars and cents may not be as great at present. However, the time is coming soon when that condition will be better, too. Those students who have considerable mechanical ability are at-tracted to the Industrial Arts, where a thoro training in the different lines of woodwork and drawing is offered. Because of the many at-tractive positions in this work all over the state many of the students are preparing themselves to teach these subjects. The number of stu-denis thus enrolled during the last two years has increased many fold, and indications are for an even larger attendance. But the interest in the woodwork and drawing is not limited to the young men alone for there are also a large number of young women in the department. This number is increasing every quarter, K which shows that the young women are beginning to realize what an K advantage it is to them to be able to handle woodworking tools and be able to make and read drawings. That they have the ability to do the work and do it well is being demonstrated every day, and quite a few of them are putting to shame some of the young men as to the quality of work one. Those students who have nt visited the shops and who have not seen the fine projects made there will find it worth their time and trouble to do so. We occasionally hear such expres- * sions as these, from students who have been in school here for one or even two years, "Why, [ never knew they did that kind of work in this school"; or, "I didn't know there was such a place here where they did furniture making. I didn't even know it could be done so well by hand." And when those same people find that some of that fine work was done by young women, their surprise is all the greater. Our advice to all students is-find out what is being done in all departments of your school so that when you are asked about the school and its work you are in a position to intelligently advise or inform. I int 138 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 139 ---------- 0l4r ourbnug4 lub Service knew what he was talking about when he wrote the "Spell of the Yukon." The love of the North every year draws the Alaskans of the school into a group under the name of the Sourdough Club. It is a social club whose members are bound together by a common interest, but it also aims to be of real service by acquainting people with Alaska as it is and not as many imagine it to be. One of the biggest events of the club this year was the opening banquets at the Leopold Hotel. The decorations, place cards and after dinner speeches of course all centered around the subject of the Northland. Later Mr. Kolstad entertained the club at his cabin on Lake Whatcom and every member was thankful that he was a Sourdough. The club officers are: Adele Bunting, President; Johanna Mil-ler, Vice President; John Fuller, Secretary-Treasurer. The members are: Rita Gard, Janie Faherty, Eleanor Barrows, Lois Pice, Miss Rose, Floris Clark, Einer Christensen, L. I T. Barber, James B. Collins, Ward Thomas, George Stephens, Miss Montgomery, Mr. Rindal, Miss Keeler and Miss Wallace. Honorary members are Mrs. Rindal and Mr. Kolstad. 139 1 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 140 ---------- e (Apologies to Owen Meredith) You may have your dlepartment of music and art You may have your department of science apart, You may teach all the grammar and rules out of books But what would you do if no one trained our cooks?

Majors are not very large in number but each month they found time to meet for helpful talks from their sponsors, Miss Long and Miss Watrous. They have also enjoyed very interesting programs given by their members. They have some very wonderful ideas that they are working out, and when they are worked out to their satisfaction they will announce it to the school. y T 142 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 143 ---------- j j Newmuan Club OFFICERS.

Treasurer The Newman Club organized early in the school year. A large number of girls joined the organization and helped to make it a very worth while and active club. Miss Knapstein, secretary to Miss Gertrude Earhart, acted as club sponsor. Always jolly, capable and willing, Miss Knapstein proved herself a very charming leader. During the second and third quarters, Mr. Hunt, who had been absent during the first quarter, took an active interest in the affairs of the club. He stimulated increased membership, and led the club on numerous hikes and picnics. Our two club mixers were especially jolly and interesting. Some really unique games were discovered at them, and some startling in-teligence displayed. Newman Club became famous for its "feeds." Miss Juanita Paradis proved herself a very energetic, capable, jolly president and all members of the club enjoyed her leadership. 143 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 144 ---------- 4 Otubio Art (lub "Art has been defined as the ability to answer in terms of beauty, a human need." Too many consider art only a picture in a frame, while in reality it is something vital that is always with us, whether it be the house we live in, a new dress, a book cover or a vegetable garden. The club has a large number of reproductions, in-cluding colored as well as black and white prints, which are for the use of the club members and art students. Some interesting phases of the club work are not only the study of artists and their produc-tions, but the members often meet for the purpose of sketching and painting. 144 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 145 ---------- This year they studied children in art; taking up various phases, such as portraiture and illustration. The regular program of the club is frequently followed by a social hour, in which the members become better acquainted with one another. This part of the meeting is made as varied and interesting as possible, since one essential part of a student's training is in the line of social leadership. The responsi-bility for the success of each meeting is divided so that each member of the club shares in turn Ihe various types of activity involved, thus getting not only art training but social training as well. The success of this phase is demonstrated in the efficient manner in which the members of the Studio Art Club act as hostesses and serve refresh-ments at the annual Art Department Exhibit, Open House day, and other occasions. It is this unity of purpose, this social spirit, and this willingness to bear and share responsibility that makes the Studio Art Club one of the finest organizations of the school. 1 Tho we may not yet be masters, Tho we may not yet have fame, Still we're studying and striving To win our club a name. 2 When some day in the far future Some of us have found success, K Some, perhaps, have lost their vision, K Rich ones, poor ones in distress, 3. Then we'll all of us remember, Looking back along the years The good times we had together, Our ambitions, hopes and fears. 4. The long talks on art and pictures, Master artists we grew to love, When we gathered at our meetings And raised our ideals high above. amu 145 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 146 ---------- 11G ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 147 ---------- FIRST QUARTER SECOND QUARTER MARIE TINKER, President LENORA RUCKER, President JOSEPHINE SILVERS, Vice President BRIGITTA KANKONEN, Vice President MABEL CARLSON, Sec.-Treasurer ANNA LUNGDAHL, Sec.-Treasurer VERA WHITE, Fire Captain FLORENCE CHABERT, Fire Captain THIRD QUARTER EDITORIAL STAFF ESTHER JENKINS, President MARIE TINKER HELEN DILLABOUGH, Vice President GERTRUDE SENNES BETTY YOST, Sec.-Treasurer BRIGITTA KANKONEN FLORENCE CHABERT, Fire Captain ALICE JENNINGS DOROTHY ZINSER As a fitting conclusion to the Christmas vacation, one hundred twenty girls trooped merrily into Edens Hall, January second. More than one was initiated in o the mysteries of our new home by the staccato sounds reverbrating through the house on our arrival. Truly, we began to think it was haunted when beds refused to stand up and rugs began to slip. Tours of inspection, however, soon revealed the wonderful beauty of our new home. The hall has been the scene of numerous school activities since its opening-two Alumni and a faculty banquet, the Philo reception K for the Cheney debaters, and the formal reception for Dr. Waldo. K Our own parties have been the jolliest ever. Hallowe'en was celebrated in a fitting manner by the spookiest of parties. The gayly decorated dining room was the scene of the occasion. The climax of our festive occasion was reached when we enter-tained the faculty and men of the school with a Washington party. Numerous balloons attached to the ceiling made our beautiful dining room even more attractive. Keen interest was aroused in the contest between the girls of the three floors, each presenting snappy, clever stunts. Songs around the blazing fire concluded the evening. We shall never forget the pleasures of Dormitory life such as spreads, frolics, dancing, and hikes. Best of all, the friendships formed cannot help but prove to be lasting ones.

Our membership is small in quantity but certainly not in qual-ify, for we have a very enthusiastic group of students co-operating for their club's success. Our fortnightly meeting programs have shown we have musical as well as story telling ability. Laely we have beeen studying the in-teresting Indian legends of Puget Sound. Do not think it has been all work and no play, for we have a banquet at Edens Hall for our honorary member, Miss Sperry, our sponsors and members. Roll call was answered with after dinner stories and we anticipate camp fire stories later.

BERTHA CRAWFIRD, Sponsor SECOND SEMESTER FRANCIS STILL, President MILDRED DAWKINS, Vice President G(LADYS OLSON, Secretary EDNA CARNINE, Treasurer MARTHA ANDERSON, Reporter RUTH GETCHEL, Sgt.-at-Arms BRIGITTA KANKONEN, Club Critic And it came to pass in the days of Aletheia, of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two, that a maiden of the tribe of Antrim, named Elnora, sat in the seat of the gifted and sang this song to her maid-ens: When twilight deeps o'er the purpling Sound And shadows lengthen dark on Sehome hill, A veritable silence settles deep and near An owl is heard far back within- these woods And silhouettes stand clear and blacky etched; 149 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 150 ---------- And low it calls, for fall has come to us; It calls for maidens of our Normal school, True maidens, laughing, eager, young, To make their lives more noble and secure. And so ten maidens heard the lone owl's call And came to sit together in a room High up, above the classrooms here at school. And they brought with them other maidens, too, All gifted, till their circle came to be A dwelling place of thirty happy ones; And with them came their sponsor, tall and fair Whose name is Crawford, beautiful and kind. Initiation came and went as planned, Mysterious in all its secret lore, And Hallowe'en loomed up a golden moon For all the maidens of Aletheia Came clad in costumes, beautiful to see, With masks that could not bide their merry eyes. The cafeteria rooms were filled with leaves And black cats pranced upon the creamy walls, While owls stood silently and dark And everyone mwae merry with her friends. But these ,lad maidens did not play all fall. They planned their programs with exceeding care, So that each land of import could be seen And studied well and e'en their songs be heard That all should culminate in pageant strong, Written by the members of the club, And given in Assembly some bright day, To show them all how other people live. And so the time was quickly passed and well And low the Owl called from the distant woods, Snow laden, reaching up their arms, He called the maidens round a radiant tree For it was Christmas time and hearts were glad. The tree gave up to each a dainty gift And candy canes were plentiful and large. At last the maidens went their separate ways And soft the snow came, fluttering to the ground. The weeks and months soon passed in quickening pace, The programs came to be a joyful time For much was learned and every country then Meant more to them for having learned its ways. Soon Spring came gently, in a lilting way, And all the woods were green and tender- edged; 1.50 I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 151 ---------- I ti r . '2 " The Campus had a greener, cleaner look And tulips lightly pushed their green tops thru. Another time the lone Owl called from out The secrets of his waiting, silent woods; His call was low but yet the maidens heard, And so they gathered at the home of one Who is their sponsor, 'twas St. Valentine's. A dear, sweet maiden, in a cool green gown, Who wore a sweeping crown of Titian hair, Was honor guest, for she was soon to go To distant lands to spread the English tongue And live in truth a calm and noble life. Gordon, Clara Gordon was her name, Once president of dear Aletheia And honorary member, by the grace of this. The lights burned low; a story long was told, And all too soon the time was come to go. The maidens bade farewell with right good cheer And gave to her the true heart of the club For they were with her in their love and thoughts. So spring was beautiful to see And all the world was bright with love and light. These maidens with their sponsor and the others Who grace Aletheia, honorary members, And who are known to all the school and us, As Laura McDonald, supervisor here, And Gertrude Longley, of Hawaiian fame, Went on a week-end trip to a fair lake Called Whateom, hidden deep among the hills. Glad and gay were the happy hours spent together, And all the maidens knew these friends the better. Then soon the maidens closed their club room doors And sought the open space for programs gay; Delightful were they in their peaceful thought Of Nature and the vaster open ways. And so it was these maidens lived in peace, All happy, with a purpose true and fine. When once again the lone Owl made his call, A vibrant voice, thrilled with the depth of spring, Of misty islands dropped along the Sound And sunsets deep with color and true life. And oh, Aletheia, he called to you, L~ I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 152 ---------- I 4 For you are Truth and Wisdom, even Youth, (And Youth is Hope, Success and High Ideals) Aletheia, your work is strong and true, It guides us as the light upon the sea Or sunrise on our rosy mountain peaks. Your life will grow and reach more maidens here, And bring them love for music, literature, art. Your spirit haunts the winding Sehome paths And Chuckanut or any other place That these few maidens have so gladly trod, And lives within the heart of the lone Owl Who calls so softly in the silent woods. " 1ER FALLEN IDOL ,. 152 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 153 ---------- Alk sta (lub In Volume I, No. 1, of the Messenger, published in 1899, we find the first record of our club's existence. At that time it was called the "Alcott" club of the Whatcom Normal School, and had as its aim practice in public speaking. Miss Ida Agnes Baker was the club critic. In 1906, the club then being seven years old, the memnbers decided to adopt a more mature name. At the suggestion of Mr. Forest, the name "Alkisiah" was chosen, this being an Indian name expressing the club's motto, "In the Near Future." And to the "Alcott" aim was added that of altruistic service and opportunity for the study of questions of the day. Miss Baker continued as the beloved sponsor of the club until her sudden death, January 29, 1921. In 1917, the Alkisiah club joined the National Federation of Women's Clubs, and is the only club in the school so affiliated. It has always stood for the very best literary programs and this stand-ard was surely upheld this year. During tfie first two quarters we studied the question of "Philippine Independence." Two interesting debates were held, several papers given and these papers and pro-r --- i~k ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 154 ---------- grams were of much benefit and helpfulness to the club. During the last quarter the club took up the topic "See America First" and several interesting meetings were held. These programs were al-ways followed by lively social get-to-gethers in which club songs were sung and each memiber became better acquainted with the other members of the club. One of the most interesting meetings was the one in which the Alkisiah "Round Robin" was read. This Round Robin is composed of letters from about thirty alumni Alkisiahs. One of the achievements of the year was the fitting up of the Alkisiah room in the new hospital. This room is being furnished in memory of Miss Baker. The annual bulb sale was held just before Christmas. This is a beautiful custom of the club. The bulbs are planted in the fall by the girls and sold just before the Christmas holidays. Among our social affairs for the year were parties and the an- nual banquet. The banquet was held on February eleventh at the Hotel Leopold. Besides the present club members and faculty ad-visers there were many alumni Alkisiahs present. An interesting program was enjoyed. At this time an auxiliary was formed com-posed of married alumni members of the club living in Bellingham. Of the parties of the year two are worthy of special mention. First, the initiation party, given last fall when about twenty-five active members and three honorary members underwent the terrors of initiation and were taken into the mysteries of the club; and teh afternoon spent at the home of Miss Moffat when the girls sewed on the curtains for the room in the hospital. That friendly afternoon, spent sewing around the fireplace and chatting over the tea-cups, will ever be a happy memory to the girls who were there. Much of the success of the club this year is due to Miss Moffat, its sponsor, who by her whole-heartedness, her helpful earnest ways, and her work with the club has helped to make it what it is and has , endeared herself to every member. Truly, it might well be said of her, "To know her is to love her."

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

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

EGBERT With joy we hail this glad new day, the goal of vict'ry won, The sweet reward of days of toil, of plans and lessons done; But while this inner joy doth thrill like April winds that blow, Our hearts with deep emotion swell and eyes with tears o'erflows: For we must part from those we- love, must sever friendships dear, And leave the scenes of old Sehome with all it's grandeur near. We've bravely met each task assigned and learned the joy of toil, Increased our talents great and small to keep each gift from spoil; And while. old problems now are past with all their lessons dear, We turn with zest to meet the new without a thought of fear. With courage pure, undaunted, strong, we leave this sheltered place With hope to hear, "Well done" at last when we have won the race. And now, dear friends and schoolmates all, we make our last farewell ; The hour has come when we must part, when we our love must tell, For never more can all return unbroken as today, When once we've passed this treasured hour to make our onward way. So here's to you dear friends, our love and wishes fond and true, In hope and prayer for your success and for our White and Blue!

It was a dramatization of Louisa M. Alcott's ever-popular story "Litle Women." Under the able direction of Mr. Hoppe each member of the cast excelled himself. Every character of the story seemed to have come to life before the eyes of the delighted audience. From the moment the curtain arose and tomboy Jo grumbled from the hearth rug, until it fell on the picture of this self same Jo and her professor lover, every spectator was held spellbound. The play ran all the gamut from laughter to tears. Beginning with the March's Christmas Play the audience had no chance to lose interest. Amy's long words and Jo's boyish ways won their share of applause. Aunt March was the very irate, harsh old lady to be ex-pected. Meg and her John, not to mention the twins, were as domes-tic a family as could be wished. Laurie, with his pranks and his boyish affection, woed and won pretty Amy to everyone's delight. The death of gentle Beth brought the audience to tears. Hannah was as Irish as could be desired. Mr. Lawrence was a kindly old man. Mr. and Mrs. March, gentle and brave in their sorrow, were well portrayed. The benignant Professor, and his Schuler and his benev-olence courted Jo in absurd and delightful fashion. In short, it was just such a play as everyone longs to see, but seldom, does. The advertising manager, Mr. Blaney, and the business manager, Mr. Caulkins, deserve credit for the work that brought out the huge audience. Mr. Hoppe, and every member of the cast, received full appreciation of the work which made each part so life-like and de-lightful. Altogether there is only one regret to be expressed-and that is that the play is past. 169 I I1 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 170 ---------- enior play "THE PASSING OF THE THIRD FLOOR BACK."

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

The team, under Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf, had produced a very plausible and logical argument. The position of the team rested on the promise contained in the Jones Bill, that independence should not be granted until the United States was cer-tain that the people of the Philippine Islands could maintain stable government. The debaters brot forth a mass of facts to prove that the United States was not certain; that the Filipinos were not able to conduct a stable government. Miss Stoughton, the first negative speaker, opened the negative side and laid the foundation for the ar-gument of her team. Miss Spaight brot a wealth of material to show Ihe lack of capabilities of the Filipino people. Oliver Ingersoll summed up the position of his colleagues and concluded the argument of the negative team. The team offered a lively and able defense of their position and an attack on the arguments of the opposing team. In spite of the eloquent efforts of the Bellingham debaters, the decision was three to nothing, in favor of the Cheney team. The school owes a great deal of credit to the coaches, Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf, to the two teams and to to the alternates for the hard work expended on the debate. 172 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 173 ---------- MASON HATLL INGA BENTSON NORMA ROKES IRENE GOSS (Alternate) Affirmative U ram The question for debate was: "Resolved, that the people of the Philippine Islands should be independent by 1930." The Affirmative team, accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, left Bellingham on March 30, for Ellensburg. There they met the Ellensburg negative team. The affirmative team based their argument upon the statistics of the Wood-Forbes Report and the government reports from the Islands. They offered proof of the improvements in the Philippines since the passage of the Jones Bill, which authorized the Filipinization of the government. Miss Rokes was the first speaker. She opened the argu-ment and ably prepared the way for her colleagues. The second speaker, Inga Benson, took up the improvements in the Islands under Filipinos. Mason Hall, the third speaker, concluded the argument and summarized the affirmative position. Mr. Hall likewise made a spirited attack on the Wood-Forbes Report and the definition of stable government it maintains. The debate at Ellensburg was a close and intense contest. The Ellensburg students displayed much school spirit and sportsmanship. When the decision was announced it was found that Bellingham had lost two to one. 173 1 ' ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 174 ---------- Normal AMe itations MARY B.

Great waves bea:ing and breaking, Caressing the rocks, them forsaking; Each wave the other o'ertaking, Just great waves, beating and breaking.

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

In our school life we have been imbued with a spirit of co-operation and labor for those things which we have come to recognize to be for our own best interest and welfare. Further, we have gained that social point of view which induces us to work for the common good of all. That is why we are interested in the welfare of our school. For that which we have been given-these few years of free education-we have come to recognize our relative responsibility; and that it is our duty to be boosters; to work in a constructive way for things that will soon put this school in the lead of the other Normal schools of our nation. Let us not forget this obli-g'ation. Because of this year's successes, we have rea-son to be proud of our Alma Mater. Our represen-tatives in athletics, debate, and other student enter-prises, have, by their marked ability and achieve-ment, and through victory after victory, given to our Normal School a distinction and standing in our commonwealth of which we may be justly proud. In very deed and truth, this has been a glor-ious year. It is my hope that in after years this Klipsun will be a reminder of those (lays that were so dear to us, and that those who come after us may find in it something worthy of emulation. -Eggert A. Burns. Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 12 ---------- IN APPRECIATION With the completion of work on the 1923 Klip-sun, there comes a realization of the splendid co-operation and services of those who contributed to its success. We sincerely appreciate the encouraging attitude of Mrs. Vaughan, literary critic, who in times of difficulty has been ever willing to help; and the splendid contributions of Robert Caulkins in the way of many of the finer ideas incorporated into the Klipsun. It was with sincere regret that I learned of his inability to continue his work as associate editor, due to failing health. The breach left by M'r. Caulkins was, however, satisfactorily filled when the services of Miss Anna Lind were secured. Her very efficient, though unassuming manner has made working with her a distinct pleasure. Among others of the Normal to whom we are especially indebted, we wish to mention Miss Marie Druse, art critic; Miss Catherine Smith, art editor; Miss Marjory Downes, literary editor; Miss Floris Clarke, debate editor and editor of the Alaska sec-tion; as well as the many contributors to the lit-erary section and art work. W e are also greatly indebted to the Art Engrav-ing Company, the Jukes Studio, and the Irish Print-ing Company for the efficient services rendered at all times during our work with them. In all truth, it may be said that any merits which this Klipsun may contain are dcue to the con-certed effort of the Sophomore class and associated student body. -THE EDIrOR Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 13 ---------- TABLE OF CONTENTS The Normal School Page Normal School and Northwest Scenes ............................................... 4 Officers of Administration .................... ....... ...

Twenty 1 ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 21 ---------- HISTORY OF BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Our present Normal School, considered the sixth largest in the United States, had its beginning as a private school in the little city of Lynden. That institution, however, was refused state aid; hence a movement was started for the establishment of a state normal school in this locality. A law was passed creating a commission to select a site in Whatcom County, and the present location, occupying sixty-eight acres of land on the slope of Sehome Hill, was chosen. This tract of land was at that time midway between the two cities, Fairhaven and Whatcom, now united and known as the city of Bellingham. The Bellingham Bay Improvement Company, the Fairhaven Land Company, and the heirs of the Lysle estate donated the land. The governor vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. In 1895, however, the legislature appropriated $40,000 for the erection of the original building. On the first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins, of Fairhaven; Hon. R. C. Higginson, and Hon. J. J. Edens, of Whatcom. A third appropriation in 1897 was also vetoed, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,000 for equipment and maintenance of school. The campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes, and many other necessary items furnished. The first faculty of six members began their work on September 6, 1899, with Dr. Edward T. Mathes as principal. There was an enrollment of 16o students on the first (lay of school, but at the end of the first month, the number had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more faculty members, among them being Miss Catherine Montgomery, who is still doing excellent work for the school. Eight young ladies graduated the first year, and sixteen received elementary certificates. The spirit of the school in those early days, exemplified by their school yell, "Za! Za!! Zeer! ! ! We're right here! 19oo Pioneer !" has been rekindled with every succeeding year. The Normal School has rapidly grown from its struggling beginning into a school that ranks very high among the educational institutions of this state. We now have a president, a faculty corps of fifty members, and an enrollment of over a thousand students, representing every state in the Union, as well as other countries. In addition to the original structure, eight other buildings have been erected-the training school building in 90oI, the gymnasium in Ig9o, old Edens Hall in 1905, which accommodated sixty-three students, the science annex in 1907, the manual training shop, and a large annex to the training school in 1913, a central heating plant in 1917, the Emergency Hospital in 1921, and the new Edens Hall in 1922, accommodating 116 students. The Twenty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 22 ---------- library now has 27,000 books in the main library, 3,000 in the juvenile library, and over 300 magazines and newsp apers in the periodical room. The school each year provides a lecture course free to the students, which gives them an opportunity to hear the leading artists of the world. Third and fourth year courses are now offered to the students, and they are looking forward to the time when they may receive a degree. The growth of the school can best be realized from the fact that the enrollment has increased to such an extent that certain departments of the school are entirely inadequate. The library and gymnasiums, built to accom-modate the students of two decades ago, are examples of this. The first issue of the "Messenger," the schocl paper, appeared in De-cember, 1899, being a paper five by ten inches, printed once a month. It is now known as the "Weekly Messenger," is eleven by fourteen inches, con-taining ten pages of school news. A recent addition of importance to the school's development was the purchase in 1922 of the eighty-acre tract, Normalstad, the school's recreational park, on Lake Whatcom. The dock has just been completed, land is the largest on the lake. Plans are being made for a boathouse, with quarters for a row-ing crew. The twenty different clubs of the school are busy at p r esent locat-ing the sites for their future lodges. FIRST BUILDING B. S. N.

As we approach these tendencies from many sides, we find that they are often coincident. The Art department has felt the strong current setting in toward what is practical and of value in industry. We are forced to consider the question of art for life's sake. This means, first of all the taking of art out of the hands of a few exceptional people and putting it into the hands of everyone who wants it and needs it. There is scarcely an hour of the day when the question of art does not come up in some form or other. It is this universal application of art principles that makes us lay such stress on art teaching. It has forced us to revolutionize our art courses both as to their content and their method. Another reason why the Art department lays such stress on art teaching is the constantly increasing demands of the best schools for teachers E who can teach practical art. An annual exhibit offers a splendid opportunity for one to stop and sum-marize the year's achievements. More than that, it furnishes a standard of comparison and an index of progress that is of inestimable value to those interested in general, and to the department in particular. The annual exhibit of art and handicraft which was held May 17-18, under the direction of Miss Druse, Miss Landis, Miss Johnston and Miss Breakey summarized the work of the department in a remarkable way. The aim of the department is four-fold: I. the development of technical skill; 2. correlation between subjets; 3. use of industrial material and processes; 4. appreciation. It was most interesting to follow the systematic working out of these aims as shown in the results exhibited on walls and tables in the department rooms and corridors. Correlation has become the keyword in modern education and no subject offers more opportunity for correlation than does Art. Work was especially correlated wth civics, literature, history, geography and other sub-jects. The use of industrial materials and processes have been strikingly il-lustrated. The development of appreciation is a harder thing to measure because, after all, appreciation is a thing of the spirit and so cannot come under any yard stick rule yet one could get some satisfactory evidences of the existence of appreciation in the comments of students as they went about from section to section. In summing up the exhibit as a whole we would call your attetnion once more to its aims and the aims of the department back of it. The reason for the existence of an Art department is first of all to train in appreciation of what is right-second, to teach how to apply this knowledge and give others the same appreciation, and finally, to make of this knowledge some practical use in industry in the home life and in the personal equipment of the indi-vidual. Thirty-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 33 ---------- BUSINESS EDUCATION With J. F. Caskey as head of the department, 'ably assisted by Mrs. May G. Lovegren, the Department of Business Education has functioned in the school, the community and the state in a way to cause the business men and school boards to seek those who have received instruction in this department. The greatest contributing factor in the success of the students of this department lies in the fact that the instructors, believe in taking the student with whatever of natural power, initiative and ability he may possess, and by developing these to the highest point of efficiency attainable in the time given for the work, and then, this accomplished, send him forth with spirit unafraid, to do and dare in his chosen line of work. As teachers, the instructors of this department encourage and help their students in ways that bring out the best that is in them. Students of the Department of Business Education have felt and do feel that the scople of the work should be broadened so as to include those subjects that naturally fall within its line of work. Commercial Geography, Business Arithmetic, History of Commerce, and Penmanship suited to the needs of the commercial teacher, surely come within the province of this department. Mr. Caskey has endeared himself to each and every student through his never failing help, advice, comfort, and sympathy that is available to all who go to him with their troubles. A former student, writing to Mr. Caskey, said this of Mrs. Lovegren: "She is all gold." What higher tribute need any woman ask? Mrs. L'ovegren's cheery words and smile, together with her fund 'of knowledge, helps many 'a student along his weary way. EDUCATION Dr. Irving E. Miller, the well-known author of the "Psychology of Thinking," and "Education for the Needs of Life," is at the head of this department. Associated with him are L. A. Kibbe, Miss Delia Keeler, and Arthur Kolstad, all able and efficient instructors. In addition to the work of these regular instructors, Miss Margaret Roberts teaches one class a quarter in Observation, and Miss C'atherine Montgomery one class in Primary Methods. Both of these teachers are highly trained for their special lines of work. Mrs. Clara K. Jones serves as a reader on half time, and Miss Minnie Swanson gives fourteen hours to clerical work. The Department of Education covers the following fields: Psychology, Child Study, Observation and Methods, Rural Education, School Law and School Mianagement, Principles and History of Education, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, and School Administration. In these var-ious lines, about thirty different courses a year are given, distributed through four years of the college course. During the four Quarters something like four thousand students 'are enrolled in all the classes of the Department. Thirty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 34 ---------- The ideals of the Department call for highly trained teachers, speciali-zation of instruction, and a sharp focusing of all the work upon the problems of teacher training. The Department expects to have additional teachers next year. It will then be possible to emphasize still more the advanced courses for third and fourth year students. -0- ENGLISH No subject in the curriculum contributes so much to culture and to breadth of vision as does English literature. Many students, realizing that this is true, have chosen to specialize in this subject, and as many as 714 students have taken elective courses in English this year. The field from. which to choose is large, covering, as it does, 25 courses in li'terature and composition. The growing demand for such work has necessitated the em-ployment of two new teachers. fMiss Sperry, the head of the department, needs no recommendation as all those who have 'een in her classes know what an inspiration she is. Mrs. Vaughan, 'too, is ever the students' friend, and her untiring zeal in work for the Messenger has been much appreciated. Mrs. Hussey, a graduate of the University of Washington, came to us from Washington, D. C., last fall. She is specializing in the teaching of composition and is a popular member of the faculty. Miss Dillon taught only till Christmas when unfortunately she was obliged to resign on account of illness. She was succeeded by Miss Madden, a graduate of the University of Iowa, and for four years head of the department of Public Speaking at Penn College, Iowa. Next fall we shall welcome the return of Miss Edens, now on leave of absence. Miss Edens studied at the University of London last summer and has been at Columbia University this year. With this addition to the staff Miss Sperry is anticipating further de-velopment in her department next year, and will offer special courses to third and fourth year students. ORAL EXPRESSION Oral Expression, which is included with the English, is named by Victor H. Hoppe and Horace G. Rahskopf, who are excellently fitted by previous training for this special work. Twelve different courses are offered in oral expression ranging from practical speaking to community dramatics. The department constitutes a vital part of the school, not only from the professional and the academic standpoints, but also as a basis for such vital student activities as school dramatics and debate, both of which have flourished during the present year and which have before them a future of great promise. The Bellingham State Normal is of greater assistance in an educational way to teachers in service and to the public in general, by having an Exten-sion department organized for extension service. Thirty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 35 ---------- EXTENSION The Extension department, with E. J. Klemme as director, serves the state at large in various ways. Through extension service, classes are or-ganized at different points and conducted by Normal instructors. These may be credit or non-credit courses. The correspondence courses, offered by the several departments, make it possible for teachers who are unable to be in residence to do work that will count toward graduation, after thirty-six weeks of residence as required by law. At the request of a superintendent or prin-cipal, an instructor is sent to a school to give educational tests in spelling, reading, arithmetic, writing, and any other subject taught. They point out the best method of adopting the material of instruction to the needs of the individual. A number of small towns and communities within easy reach of the Normal School, profit by the talent centered in this institution. Readings, compiled by Mr. Hoppe, of a very high standard are in constant demand. Upon request, the Extension department also furnishes judges for debates, and speakers for P. T. A., Women's Clubs, and other civic organizations. Mr. Klemme has served the school in the capacity of director of the Extension department for several years and has given excellent service. He is in constant demand throughout the state, both as an adviser for higher edu-cation, and as a speaker. Mrs. Pearl Lansing is the secretary of the department and has served the Normal School four years. The department is entirely in her charge during Mr. Klemme's absence in the field. Mrs. Lansing has full charge of the correspondence work and is able to advise students regar(ling courses that would apply on their major. There are twenty-one instructors offering work in correspondence and 150 students .entrolled at the present time. These enrollments represent the four states, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and the territory of Alaska. The department has enrollement from 23 counties out of the 39 in this state. FOREIGN LANGUAGE The foreign language department is headed by Miss Helen Beardsley, who received her training at the University of Colorado, with graduate study at the Sorbonne and at the University of Leipzig. Owing to ill health, Miss Beardsley has been on leave of absence this year, but is scheduled to teach dur-ing the summer session. The department is, however, fortunate in having as instructors Miss Anne Ullin and Mrs James Gaul. Both have come to the institution this year, and are particularly well fitted for work in this special line. They have worked earnestly for the interests of the school at large, as well as of this de- partment. Thirty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 36 ---------- French and Spanish are the foreign languages offered in this year's cur-riculum. Elementary courses in these subjects are given each quarter, and the opportunity is then given the students to take advanced work, including studies of literature and composition. Each year the enrollment in both the elementary and advanced courses is large. For the future, the instructors of this department plan to have their work so organized that they will be able to have their classes produce French and Spanish plays, along with their advanced work. HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE This department is under the direction of James Bever, who has been connected with the institution since 1909. Associated wilth Mr. Bever in this department is Miss Nora B. Cummings, with this institution since 1915, and T. F. Hunt, also since 1915. All members of the 'tealching staff have done research work along their special lines in some of the best universities of the country, and consequently are especially fitted to teach the courses offered. The department covers in the history courses, all phases of European and American history, including the world war period. Courses in history meth-ods are offered each quarter covering some phase of presenting the subject. In social science, courses are offered in the principles of sociology, rural sociology, social problems, economics, 'community civics, comparative govern-ment, commercial and political geography. The plan of instruction followed by the department is that all subjects should be taught in relation to their bearing upon the present time and problems, thereby giving 'the student a better back ground for his work as a teacher. The department expects to, have additional instructors in the near future, thereby enabling them to further emphasize the advanced courses for third and fourth year students. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department, although located in the basement of the Science annex, does not hold an inferior place in the life of the school. Miss Gertrude Longley is head of the department, and associated with her is Miss Linda Countryman. Thirteen courses are offered, none of which are requirements for everyone, but eight are required for those forty or fifty girls who are specializing in Home Economics teaching. However, we had an average of 149 students each quarter this past year, with 273 last summer, while many more wished for time for one of these electives. The main object of our work is to train future teachers, and because of this much time is given to method, as well as subject matter. H. E. I Fundamental Foods Cookery, and H. E. 9 Elementary Clothing lay particular emphasis on Home Economics work in the grades, and so are of value, not only to girls specializing in Home Economics, but to any girl preparing to teach children. The other courses * offered, especially IAdvanced Cookery Table Service, and Dressmaking are valuable for a girl's own use, whether she plans to teach or not. Thirty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 37 ---------- Practice teaching is done by girls majoring in the department, in the training school, in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Here practice under supervision gives added incentive to study. The department has charge of the Normal cafeteria, which has served attractive, reasonable lunches to from 150 to 200 people a day. A well-trained cook is in charge, but much of the work is done by students desirous of earn-ing part of their way. Equipment for teas, club parties, and schcol mixers is kept in our custody and given out on a requisition from the registrar. Our aim is service to the school in every way possible. "Work thou for pleasure; paint or sing or carve The things thou lovest, though the body starve. Who works for glory misses oft the goal; Who works for money coins his very soul; Work for the Twork's sake then and it may be That these things shall be added unto thee." -Kenyon Cox. INDUSTRIAL ARTS M. W. Heckman, who has had many years of training and teaching ex-perience along the industrial lines, is head of this department. Associated with him is John Rindal, a practical cabinet maker, who has been an instructor in the department for a number of years. The Department of Industrial Arts covers the following subjects: Ele-mentary Woodwork, Advanced, Woodwork and Cabinet Making, Wood Turning, Wood Finishing, Organization and Administration of Industrial Education, Advanced Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drawing, Freehand Perspective, and Practice Teaching in the Training School. The emphasis of the work of this department is laid upon the develop-ment of a high degree of technical skill in both woodwork and drawing which is an essential factor in teacher-training in 'the Industrial Arts. An intensive study is also made of courses and equipments to be used in grade and high schools for the best advancement of industrial work in these schools. Thirty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 38 ---------- THE LIBRARY The library of the Bellingham Normal school is a very young one, as it has been in existence but little more than a score of years, and yet it has attained much of that prestige which is given to a rare collection of profes-sional material. It is already rated as one of the very best in the North- west. During all of its existence the ideal has been to make this library wholly adequate to meet the needs, aims, and interests of a great teacher-training institution. However, believing that teachers must have other knowledge and interests which are equal to their professional ones, the library has devoted a very large part of its twenty-eight thousand volumes and five thousand pamph-lets to history, literature, art, science, sociology and other subjects. The material on history, literature, and art is particularly broad and adequate. In the periodical room are to be found one hundred fifty different magazines for which the library is a regular subscriber. These cover many subjects and keep the students in close touch with contemporary thought and action. The juvenile library is in reality a huge "project" as it exists primarily as a laboratory for student teachers and consists of some three thousand volumes of extremely well chosen literature for boys and girls. It has a large pat-ronage from the training school pupils, who keep the student librarian busy. After the collection of books a librarian's aim is to get the material to the reading public. Therefore the whole administration has been based on getting the student to read. Throughout its history the library has been run entirely on the honor system and its success is quite unique. There is also no limit to the number of books a students may take out at any one time. Library instruction has been given during most of the history of the school. The real success of the Library, says Miss Wilson, has been made pos-sible by the long procession of students, who thru a score of years, have done their part in sensing and appreciating the ideals of the Library. They have read far above the average of student bodies and have shown an exceptional appreciation of the care of books. Miss Wilson maintains that in all points the students have met with enthusiasm the library's efforts to serve them. Thirty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 39 ---------- MATH EMATICS-PEN MANSH I P Mr. A. E. Bond, a man of recognized standing among mathematicians, is head of this department. The chief feature of the department of Mathe-matics is its teacher-training course for teachers in the elementary schools and junior high schools. In addition to the above, teacher-training course. there is given each year a quarter's work in each of the following: College Mathematical subjects: Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, College Algebra and Differential Calculus. The standard university text books are used as the basis of all work in these subjects. In addition to the foregoing work in Mathematics, Miss Georgia Gragg, teacher of Palmer Penmanship, and Mr. W. J. Rice, teacher of his own system, are doing very efficient work in the training of teachers for this work in Elementary and Rural schools. The aim of the department is to do as efficient work in the things undertaken as can be done anywhere. We are expecting more help in the department next year and feel sure that the work will be even better than it has been. MUSIC Jessie Ames Belton came to the Normal this year as the new head of the Music Department. Miss Belton is well known in the public school music work of our state as well as in that of other states. For the past two, years she has served in an advisory capacity to the National Association of Music Supervisors and is now completing her third year as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Washington State Music Teachers' Association. The Department offers courses in the methods of public school music, and as prerequisites to these subjects, sight singing and fundamentals of music are given, the latter courses being ably handled by Mrs. Emma Whipple and Miss Dlgmar Christy. Students have also been able to take elective courses in History of Music, Harmony, Conducting, and Appreciation. Miss Ethel Gardner cares for all students of piano, as do Mr. Harrison Raymond for students of voice, and Mr. John Roy Williams for students of violin. Each one of these instructors is well known, and is prominent in musical circles of the Northwest. Beside the music that is taught in all grades in the Training School, the Girls' Glee Club of the Training School has been organized and is well under way. Both Normal and Training School orchestras, under the capable leader-ship of Mr. John Roy Williams, have proved successful and are great fav-orites at the assemblies. Among the musical activities are the Normal Chorus, consisting of all men and women of the school who wish to join; the Clef Club, which has for its membership twenty-four selected women's voices; the Men's Glee Club, also of selected membership; a Normal Quartette composed of women's voices, and a Male Quartet. Thirty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 40 ---------- SCIENCE-PHYSICAL EDUATION These two departments, usually considered quite separate, are, strictly speaking, one, with H. C. Philippi as head of the department. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Mr. Philippi has had charge of the Science department for several years, in which capacity he has given excellent service. He teaches the physical sciences and hygiene. Associated with him are Bertha F. Hughes, school physician and instructor in hygiene; May Mead, school nurse; and F. W. Brockman, instructor in biology, agriculture, and nature study. The Science Department has four well-equipped laboratories affording excellent facilities for the teaching of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiol-ogy, Hygiene, Nature Study, and Agriculture. It also has a three and one-half inch astronomical telescope, which is used in the courses in Introduction to Science and Nature Study. A new radio receiving set, having a radius of hundreds of miles for broadcasted concerts, speeches, etc., has been ordered for use in the department. The department aims to give direct preparation for the teaching of Hygiene, Agriculture, Nature Study, and Elementary General Science in the elementary schools and junior high schools of the state and to give indirect preparation for the better teaching of other subjects by supplying the proper scientific background. College courses are being developed as rapidly as the demands justify and the size of the teaching staff permit. All students are given health examinations upon entrance and are given the advantage of the services of the school physician and the school nurse. THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT In the Department of Physical Education, S. E. Carver has charge of physical education for men, and Miss May G. Long of physical education for women. Both instructors have had wide experience in physical education and have done excellent work at the Normal for several years. Miss Regina Frank, as an assistant of Miss Long, has special charge of the aesthetic and folk dancing classes. The Physical Education Department offers courses in gymnastic train-ing, school room methods, aesthetic and folk dancing, athletic coaching, and practice teaching. The work of the department is designed to give students an understand-ing of the purpose, means, and method of physical education in the school-room and in athletic coaching, as well as to give students physical training through class gymnastics and athletics. Closely connected with the physical education department, we have the boys' "WV" club, an athletic organization of the school, and the Women's Ath- letic Association, a national organization. Forty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 41 ---------- TRAINING SCHOOL Much has been said as to the real purpose of the Training School. Some think it merely a place for training student teachers. It is this, but it is also a place for training citizens. The individuals to be trained for citizenship, for their future work, for life itself with all its wealth of possibilities, are both the grade students and the Normal students. The welfare of every student, younger or older, who enters the Training School, is always the chief concern of the superintendent and supervisors. The principle that a real teacher is also always a learner, helping others and being helped, is well worked out here. The work done in the fTraining School has always been equal to that done by the city schools, as the records show. Student teachers here have the opportunity to work out and develop, under the helpful criticism of more ex-perienced teachers who are always studying their needs, those theories they have learned and the Education courses of the Normal School. They have the opportunity to learn whether they are suited to the profession and how to improve their practice. The theory of teaching by projects is one of those tried out in practice by student teachers when they are in the training school.. A "whole- hearted puposeful activity" that engaged the entire training school, pupils, student teachers, and supervisors was the "Harvest Festival," given in November for the parents of the children in the school. The Dramatic Club of the Junior High School, with Miss Wallace's help, worked out the play, in which each department had a part in song, dance, or dialogue. The Art department co-operated in working out color schemes, stage settings, and scenery; the Home Economics teachers helped the children plan and make their costumes; the Industrial Arts department assisted, Miss Long and Miss Frank taught the children the dances, Miss Belton had charge of the songs, and Mr. Will-iams directed the children's orchestra in the program of music that preceded the play. Each person connected with the Training School in any way helped work out some phase of the whole. Children and student teachers learned anew lessons of co-operation, planning in detail, perfecting prepara-tion for a creditable presentation, and of fitting parts together to make a unified whole. The children are more responsible and the student teach- ers are more competent leaders for their experiences in assisting to bring the play to successful presentation. The synopsis and cast follow : The Seasons are in dispute as to which shall rule the coming year. Time is to decide, and he calls upon the Years to help him. Each Season presents his claim to the throne, except Autumn, who is too busy with her harvest to think of ruling. Because of her rich gifts, given in the spirit of service, she is chosen queen. All rejoice in her honor. An attractive program of music accompanied the play. Three of the numbers, "Flag of Truce," "Dancing Dolls," and "United Liberty" were given by the Training School Orchestra. Katherine Bettman played a piano solo, Lange's "Meditation." Forty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 42 ---------- AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ALUMNI How may the Alumni Association of the Bellingham Normal School be of more service to the institution and to its graduates? Twenty-three years ago, eight young people went forth from the then new teacher-training institution on Sehome Hill, to represent the institution as teachers in the public schools of the state. They told the young people in their communities of the wonderful location of the new institution, with its marvelous view of the mountains and the sea, its matchless sunsets, of the fine type of students, of the fine opportunities for training and development, and, most of all, they imbued those with whom they associated with the spirit of service, co-operation, and loyalty for which the institution has ever been famous, and which was destined to make it one of the very greatest and most useful teacher-training institutions in the United States. Yes, and that same spirit which predominated the institution twenty-three years ago, still per-meates every room and corridor of the now large and famous Normal over-looking Bellingham Bay. It is that spirit which has made the institution great, and it is that spirit which crowds the buildings to the very limit of their ca-pacity, whenever a new quarter opens. It is that same spirit which has been carried to almost .every school in the Northwest, from the smallest and humblest log schoolhouse of Washington, Alaska, Oregon, and other states. to the finest and most modern school buildings of the largest cities of the country. Instead of eight per year, graduates are now going forth from the Normal-by-the-Sea by the hundreds. Already the school has sent forth about four thousand graduates from the- two, three, and four year courses. Nearly four hundred young people go forth each year imbued with the same spirit and with the same ideals of service that characterized the first class. One of the November graduates recently wrote that she had persuaded six members of the high school graduating class in the little town in which she is teachine, to attend the Bellingham Normal next quarter, in spite of the fact that four other Normal schools are nearer their homes. But what is being done to keep alive the ties that bind us to our Alma Mater? An Alumni Alssociation was formed many years ago, and this or-ganization holds an annual reunion and banquet at Bellingham each year, which is attended by two hundred or more graduates from the institution, nearly half of whom are members of the graduating class for the current year. An alumni gathering is also usually held at the annual meeting of the W. E. A. Forty-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 43 ---------- But is this enough? Should the Alumni Association reach only five per cent of its members? What more can the organization do to keep our alumni in touch with their Alma Mater and with old friends and classmates? First, an effort should be made by the alumni to keep a constantly re-vised list of the names and addresses of all alumni. The association should co-operate with the President's office in securing constantly revised data along this line. Without this co-operation, communication with graduates of former years is decidedly uncertain and unsatisfactory. We should have a real home- coming at the end of each school year, one that would last for two or three days, perhaps, and would be attended by from five hundred to a thousand of our members. We should have a celebration that would make it worth while for our graduates to come for hundreds of miles. This is impossible at the present time, because the Normal School closes its spring term two weeks before most of the common schools of the state close. It is hoped that a readjustment may be made in the near future that will obviate this difficulty. One of the things that keeps many people away from our alumni gatherings is the fact that when they do attend, they find so few of their old friends. By concerted effort, this can be overcome, and each class can be represented by many of its members. At present there is no method of communication with the alumni, except as the annual letter announcing the banquet and reunion is sent out, through the courtesy of the President's office, and at the expense of the Normal School. An alumni bulletin, published twice a year, would be a great help. Perhaps two issues of the Exchange, now published by the Extension Department, could be secured for this 'purpose. One number could be published at mid-year, and could be devoted largely to the outstanding activities, improvements made and contemplated, the needs of the school, changes in faculty for the current year, and all important alumni news. The President of the institu-tion would undoubtedly be glad to co-operate in securing data for such a bulletin. Another similar bulletin could be published in April, and could contain the announcement of Commencement week, the alumni banquet, etc., and could replace the annual letter, which the president of the Alumni Associa-tion now sends out each spring, prior to the annual reunion and banquet. These bulletins would be a great help to the Normal and to the alumni. If the alumni were kept posted as to the needs and progress of the institution, the members could assist greatly in presenting these needs to the people and to the legislatures, from time to time. If every alumnus of the Bellingham Normal School had realized the great need of a new library and a new gym-nasium, also of authority to grant degrees from the four-year course, and the pressing need of funds with 'which to employ additional instructors, and pre-vent the serious congestion due to overcrowded classes, the four thousand alumni of our own school could have done something to prevent the absolute neglect of the institution at the hands of the recent legislature. There are many strong friends of the institution in each session of the legislature, but these legislators need the co-operation and support of every alumnus and former student. Forty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 44 ---------- The Allison cup, which was given by Guy S. Allison, of the class of 1907, has done much to stimulate interest in debate at the Normal, and it has done much to show the interest of the alumni of the earlier days in the activities and progress of the school at the present time. Wouldn't it be worth while for the alumni to offer a prize of fifty dollars, or more, in oratory or declama-tion, to be given to the winner in a contest in the school each year? This would be an additional incentive to intensive work along this line, on the part of the students each year. In this way the alumni would feel a real interest in the present activities of the school. One of the things most needed, is some-thing that will keep alive in the minds of the alumni the present activities of the institution. Each alumnus should feel that he is still a part of the institution and that its successes are his successes. We, as alumni, have every reason to feel proud of the institution which we learned to love, and which we call our Alma Mater. It has continued to grow in usefulness and in the esteem of the people of the Northwest, until it is not only the largest and best known Normal school in the Northwest, but it is one of the very largest and best known teacher-training institutions in the United States. The Bellingham Normal needs the interest and support of every alumnus, and we, as alumni, will enjoy keeping alive the school spirit, enthusiastic sup-port, and co- operative interest of former clays. L. A. Kibbe, President. Forty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 45 ---------- HELEN GOKE ARTHUR KOLSTAD HELEN HIGHTOWER MISS DELIA KEELER ALBERTINA PEARSON OLIVER INGERSOLL ARCHIE THOMAS LELAND RANKIN BOARD OF CONTROL Unexpected and rapid have been. the changes in the personnel of the Board of Control the past year. Archie Thomas, Helen Goke, Albertina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Oliver Ingersoll were elected last spring for president, vice-president, and student representatives, respectively. Arthur Kolstad and M. W. Heckman were elected for faculty representatives; Archie Thomas, Helen Goke, and Helen Hightower were not present during the summer and their places were occupied by Oliver Ingersoll as president, and Pearl Bailey, Robert Tunstall, 'and Gertrude Sennes as student representatives. At the end of the summer term, Mr. Heckman resigned and Miss Keeler was elected faculty representative. Because of his numerous activities, Mr. Thom-as, after a few weeks as president during the fall term, resigned, and Oliver Ingersoll was elected [president by an overwhelming majority. Leland Rankin was selected to fill the vacancy left on the Board. About the middle of the Forty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 46 ---------- winter term, Oliver Ingersoll resigned to become business manager of the Klipsun, and Vice-President Helen Goke took his place. At the beginning of the spring term, Rebecca Arnell was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Pearson, who left school. A school picnic, a school trip. to Victoria, quarterly school mixers, a Christmas tree program, basketball banquets, a debate team entertainment, and the Chuckanut Marathon are a few of the various events arranged for during the year by the Board of Control. The Board has made regular payments on Normalstad, at Lake Whatcom, and has started a scheme of improvement. A dock has already been built, and preparations are beginning to, be made for the building of school lodges, the clearing of an athletic field, and many other improvements. One must mention the spirit of good fellowship, which existed in the "family group" as it assembled around the table in the Students' Association room. There were differences at times, but they were soon forgotten. This spirit showed itself most clearly in the quarterly Board dinners, a custom inaugurated by last year's members, and carried over in the second annual Two-Board dinner, when the retiring members entertained the Board-elect. Where 'tviy o vere4 r? Forty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 47 ---------- I I6 EDITH HEATON, Assistant MR. C. C. BAUGHMAN, Manager RUTH LUND, Assistlant STUDENTS' CO-OP. Service and the Students' Co-op. have become synonymous terms. Start-ing back in 19o8 in a very modest way, the Students' Co-op. has enjoyed a steady growth until it is now considered to be the equal of any college sore, regardless of the size of the student body, in its service to its patrons, and, in its reasonable prices. Mr. Baughman, the manager, has been with the Co-op. almost from its beginning and it has been through his earnest and untiring efforts that the store has reached its present high standard. He has further increased the service of the Co-op. this year by establishing a postoffice sub- station. Students and teachers are beginning to realize more and more generally that Mr. Baughman and his assistants, Miss Heaton, Miss Lund, and Mr. Mercer are ever on the alert to give efficient service, reasonable prices and courteous treatment. Forty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 48 ---------- CLASS ADVISORS The Sophomore class has been safely piloted through the difficulties of the past year by two capable, far-seeing, and sincere advisers, Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller. With the best interests of the class always at heart, they have bridged many difficulties with their helpful suggestions and advice. At all times the two advisers have kept foremost in their minds the necessity of giving students the chance to develop leadership; both have emphasized and observed this important phase of class organization. Mr. Bever is one of the hardest working members of the faculty and yet, strange to say, one of the kindest and most patient. Who has not been grateful at one time or another for the relieved feeling that a talk with Mr. Bever has given when everything seemed to point to a delayed graduation. Through the rushed programming, tedious checking and the many details attending graduation, Mr. Bever has remained the patient and optimistic adviser upon whom we could safely depend. Dr. Miller, in his unobtrusive, quiet manner, has also been willing to give his valuable time to anything connected with the Sophomore class. With the same spirit that he has built up the Education Department, he has entered into our class problems. New ideas gathered in his travels over the state, his educational research work, his hopes for improvement along educational lines-all have helped to broaden and prepare the students now ready to go out into the field of educational service. 'Tis true that we have not pierhaps fully realized, during the year, how much Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller have helped us. With graduation and depar-ture, however, comes a fuller realization of what their assistance has meant. We leave with a determination to prove worthy of their trust and to fulfill their hopes for our future success as teachers.

Father Time, the old gentleman who walks around with -a dull scythe over his shoulder, had applied his bare foot to the accelerator, and had sped the world along a few centuries But, lo! the accumulation of years was not the only change which had taken place! Mt. Baker, our far-famed peak to the east, had become so dis-satisfied with looking at the Bellingham State Normal School without a special Library building, that in its wrath it burst out in flame, spreading lava and ash over the surrounding countryside, covering it to a great depth. And thus our beautiful city of Bellingham was laid to lestruction. But the leaves have taken their floating journey to Mother Earth from the tree tops, and Spring has come and gone again many times, as the poet says. Let us turn again to the site of our fair hamlet. Congress has at last apprbpriated funds for removing the city's ashen bed-clothes, and men are at work restoring the Normal School. What is all this excitement? Workmen come rushing forth with a bat-tered and dented box, recovered from the ruins. A great crowd gathers around them, waiting for the appearance of the Superintendent to open the box and divulge its secrets. At last he comes, and orders the box to be broken open. Crash! Crash! The box, not being able to withstand the blows laid upon it, falls apart, and there, among its ruins, the crowd beholds a bound volume! Forty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 50 ---------- The Superintendent of Excavation picked up the book, and brushing the (lust from the cover, he read aloud, "History of the Sophomore Class of 1923, of the Bellingham State Nor-mal School." Excitedly he fingered the document, and exclaimed, "This is indeed the most worthy relic we have as yet discovered." The crowd surged forward in its eagerness to view the wonderful book, and was kept hack with great difficulty. "Read it! Read it! What does it say?" shouted the crowd. The Superintendent quickly opened the hook to the first page and read aloud,- "October 17 was the (late of the first class meeting, in which the following capable and efficient officers were elected: EGGERT BURNS ..............................................

Sccretary HERBERT CEDERBERG .................................. ------------ . TreasurerC DOROTHY SCHAFER ........................................... Reporter "On Friday evening, November 3, 1922, the Sophomore Class of the Bellingham State Normal School held its Pumpkin Party at Edens Hall. The party was a great success and will long be remembered by all those who at-tended." "Ah, those were the happy days," sighed one of the listeners. "Tha't class surely must have had lots of pep." Again the reader raised his voice so that all might hear "At a class meeting held Tuesday, October 31, students were nominated 'to serve on the Klipsun Staff." "All was not pleasure with that class. They had business to be (lone, , 4 too." "Read more. Let us hear what else they (lid," shouted the multitude, and the Superintendent did as they desired.-- "A special meeting of the Sophomore class was held on Monday, No-vember 6, in which a great deal of business was very satisfactorily accomp-lished. The following students were elected to serve on the Klipsun Board : Sam Ford, Helen Goke, Lou Fowler, Violet Mitcham, and Helen Hightower." The reading was interrupted by a little fat boy who excitedly shouted, "Samuel Ford was an ancestor of mine. We've got his pitcher home in the album." "Hush !" "Be quiet!" "We must hear !" "On November 16, the Klipsun Board displayed its good judgment by selecting Eggert Burns as edi'tor, and Oliver Ingersoll as business manager of the 1923 Klipsun. Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 51 ---------- Wednesday, November 29, was 'the last day of the first quarter. But it meant more than that to forty-nine Sophomores, who, overpowering their joyous emotions, received their diplomas with all the dignity befitting such a solemn occasion. Forty-four Sophomores entered at the beginning of the second quarter to keep the ranks of the Sophomore class well filled." Here the Superintendent paused for breath, and exclaimed loudly, "They were lucky to be in such a wonderful class. I wish I had lived in those days. Then he read on, without further loss of time: "Witth the beginning of the second quarter, the following class officers were elected at the peppy meeting: GERTRUDE M ORGANTHALER ..................................... ... .................

R eporter "These officers lead the class through a memorable quarter of Sophomore achievement, making the class remembered, beloved, and respected by all. Thus ends the history of the Sophomore class, of 1923, of the Bellingham State Normal School." The crowd broke out in joyful shouts. "A record to be proud of!" "Marvelous !" "Superb !" The Superintendent of Excavation gently wrapped the worn document in his coat, and, carrying it as a sleepy parent carries a nervous baby after suc-ceeding in putting it to sleep for the fourth time, he said, proudly: "How lucky we have been to recover this precious record! I will deliver this personally tomorrow to the Jonesonian Institute." And to this very day a visitor at the Institute can see'the History of the Sophomore Class of 1923 of the Bellingham State Normal School, closely guarded, in the place of honor among relics. GLENN M. BREAKEY. Fifty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 52 ---------- AU REVOIR We, the Sophomores of I923, feel that we must record the sentiments that surge through us as we leave to carry out our life's work. We are going into a new environment. The change from school life to the life of appli-cation will be gradual. As we have worked 'at the shrine of Education so shall we work at tle feet of Experience. We have hopes that in our future work we shall be able to inspire those with ,whom we labor and to create in them a desire for the better things of life. We hope that we shall lbe a credit to our school, its faculty, our fathers and mothers, and our country. We leave behind us two short years of life. How long they seemed when we entered the Normal School, but now, as we look back, in reality: how short! Those two years were filled with opportunities. Of thiese opportuni-ties we have availed ourselves of those that we thought were best suited to our needs. In this way we have become what we are today. May the classes that come after us profit by our mistakes and errors. To the. faculty of our Alma Mater we express our deepest gratitude, for, through them, we have been taught the meaning of the word "service." Their versatility has been an inspiration to us. In them we see personified the saying that "'A little each day is enough, if each day accomplishes that little." To them we extend your most sincere thanks four showing us that education consists in forging the mind. Now, we are looking forward. Some of us see a life of service in the teaching profession; others, in other callings. All of us shall go forth domi-nated by the spirit of our Alma Mater. May success attend us! LELAND A.

Wish we'd do something like that; but, say, what was the idea of all the blue and white tags on everybody in your gang ?" Fresh: "Oh, those were 'I've paid my dues' tags.

Soph (beginning to get ruffled) : "Maybe we don't give programs, but we have Sophs in all the school activities." Fresh: "Well, so do we, and a lot more. The best people on the debate, basketball, football, and baseball teams are Freshmen. We boast of a tulip queen from our class-Miss Mabel Hickson." Soph (losing dignity) : "You win."

S. a Senior and a Junior class, based on a four and a three-year course, respectively, take their places among the organizations of the school. In 1917, through an act of the Legislature, the three-year course was in-troduced; a four- year course was also planned for, but was not to go into effect until 1920. In checking over the list of 'r7 graduates, twelve were found to be eligible to graduation in May. Since then ninety-nine students have received third-year dillomas, and two have completed a one-year college course. In March, 1922, Mrs. Verna McGinis took the first four-year diploma. Since then Bessmarie Alexander, Chas. A. Buddy, Mary B. Egbert, and Frederick Roby Palmer have completed the course. To this list will be added the names of the present Seniors, Dale Pfaff and Rose M. Davis.

Committees are working on the constitution, class pin, and invitations. The business of organization did not cause the class to forget its social life. On March 31, the two classes, combined for mutual benefit at the first meeting, had a picnic at State Park. Though the skies frowned, the picnickers (lodged between the drops and found their way to a huge over-hanging boulder on the water's edge. There laughter, jokes, smoke, and good eats mingled as they boiled coffee, roasted steak, and made merry in general. Three other "events" are cutlined for this quarter. A class "frolic" will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank H.enderson, Saturday, April 21, where a five-act tragedy entitled, "The Prince and Why For," will be a fea-ture. An excursion to the head of Lake Whatcom, and a track meet while there, will take place Saturday, April 28. May II, a banquet will be given at the Leopold. The class will, class prophecy, and toasts will help make the evening a success. The class plans to run independently in the Marathon, Saturday, April 14, making the fourth contestant.

One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 110 ---------- HoRACE RAHSILOPF, Coach Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Rahskopf for the progress made in debate during the past two years. The debaters have worked hard, but it is because of his able coaching that they have succeeded so well. When the schedule of the past year is contrasted with that of three years a!go, the progress is amazing. Not only has the school won the inter-normal triangular contest for the Allison Cup, after two successive years of defeat: it has also, in meeting the two colleges in Oregon, extended its schedule and stimulated its interest in forensic activities. The record of the past year shows debate to be firmly established in Bellingham Normal. It is expected that next year the schedule will be enlarged still more to include, besides the contests with the colleges in Oregon and the inter-normal affair, a tour of the Pacific Coast as far as Southern California. The increased interest in debating and the assurance that several of this year's team will return next year make prospects for the future more than encouraging.

One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 112 ---------- DEBATE Resolved, that the United States should establish a national industrial court and regional industrial courts for the settlement of all disputes between emplloyer and employee in essential industries. LINFIELD DUAL DEBATE. ]Bellingham, Affirmative, I Linfield, 2 Bellingham, Negative, o Linfield, 3 At the morning assembly hour onl Wednesday, March 14, a negative team of two men representing Linfield College of McMinnville, Oregon, met the Normal's affirmative team on the home floor. Our speakers were Robert Tunstall and Tohn O'Rourke. In logic, in clear-cut clash of argument, and in delivery this debate is conceded to be one of the best and hardest-fought de-bates ever heard here. The negative won by contending that it could not be shown that an industrial court could operate efficiently. On the evening of the same day a team of women upholding the negative of the same utiestion met Linfield's affirmative team of two women at Mc- Minnville. This debate also was a splendid example of logical thinking and effective trt( rv. The nevative case argued that a system of courts could not handle efficiently and justly all the intricate labor problems arising in essential , industries. The Normal's team was made up of Ruth Magner and Julia ' Whitmore. PACIFIC DEBATE Bellingham, Negative, I Pacific, 2 The group which took the trip to Oregon was made up of three speakers. Besides 'debating Linfield College, they also met Pacific University at Forest Grove, Oregon, on the evening of Tuesday, March 13, upholding the negative of the same question. The Normal's team in this debate was made up of Dorothy Jones and Julia Whitmore. Speaking of the trip to Oregon and of the debates of this series with Linfield and Pacific, Mr. Rahskopf said: "I don't feel at all disappointed. The team did a fine piece of work and I am well pleased. We found the people in * both colleges to be good sports and we were royally entertained by them. I am happy over the result of the whole thing." One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 113 ---------- DEBATE Resolved, That the United States should adopt a system of responsible cabinet government similar in principle to that in force in Great Britain. BELLINGHAM-BA.DGER DEBATE. Bellingham, Negative 2 Badger Club, _i In the contest with the Badger Debate Club of the University of Wash-ington, which was held on Wednesday morning, February 14, at the Normal, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Simonson upheld the negative. They based their argument on the grounds that the affirmative team had shown no way of transplanting the cabinet system without bringing with it certain inherent defects which had proved to be serious handicaps in England. The affirmative team failed to meet their objection satisfactorily. INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE. Bellingham, Affirmative, 3 Ellensburg Normal o Bellingham, Negative, 2 Cheney Normal, I In the contest between the three normal schools of the state, the negative team of each school debated away from home. Bellingham's team went to Cheney, Cheney's to Ellensburg, and Ellensburg's to Bellingham. All three debates were held on the evening of March I. On the home floor Miss Peterson, Miss Anderson, and Mr. Airnold, ,upholding the affirmative, proved far superior in both logic and delivery to the team representing Ellensburg. Their argument showed the inefficiency in our government arising from frequent deadlocks between the executive and legislative branches, the attempts to secure efficient functioning thru unity between these two branches, and the failure of that unity because of our basic theory of separation of powers in government. These things, they con-tended, showed the necessity for the fusion of executive and legislative powers by adopting the principle of the cabinet system. The closing rebuttal speech clinched the case by showing that the negative had in substance agreed with the affirmative throughout the debate. One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 114 ---------- The decision gave Bellingham five cut of nine judges' decisions in s the three debates, and thus secured to us possession of the Allison Cup for the coming year. The Allison Cup is a beautiful trophy, given by Mr. Guy S. Allison to stimulate interest in debating among the normal schools of this state. Mr. Allison is a graduate of Bellingham Normal, and is now engaged in business in San Francisco and Portland. Under the terms of the inter-normal debate agreement the school winning the cup for three years in succession is entitled to hold it permanently. It is probable that during the next few years the rivalry for its possession will wax even keener than in the past. Miss Arnell, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Simonson traveled to Cheney to debate there against Cheney's affirmative. They based their argument on two contentions: ( ) That the cabinet system would be undesirable because, if brought to this country it would create faults similar to those now existing in England. (2) That principles of government, being the result of develop-ment, cannot be transplanted from one country to another with success. Since the Cheney team had built their case on the assumption that the opposition would defend our present principle of government, they were unable to meet the negative argument. a One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 115 ---------- WAr WP~5WUEU U .'t l One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 116 ---------- SANFORD E.

At Tacoma, on October 14, the Normal squad defeated the College of Puget Sound in the first official game of the season. Although this was the first game of this year for the Normal team, they fought like veterans from whistle to whistle. The College of Puget Sound had determined to make up for the defeat which they had received at the hands of the Normal squad in 1921, a defeat of 17 to 6, but the Normal had decided that there should be two klefeats in a row. In the first three minutes of the play, the Normal backfield tore a hole through left tackle and sent a man through for a touchdown, carrying the ball two-thirds the length of the field, for the first touchdown of the game. After a successful try for gcal, the score stood 7 to o in favor of the Normal. The fight was new on in earnest, the C. P. S. team determined to regain the lost ground and the Blue and White warriors determined to hold the lead already ga'ned. During the last half, the heavy C. P. S. team forced the ball across the Normal goal line for their only touchdown during the game. The Normal team rallied, and by a series of line bucks and forward passes, again crossed the C. P. S. goal line for another 6 points. After a suc-cessful try for goal the Normal possessed 14 points. The story of the last few minutes of the play is one in which the C. P. S. fought hard to even the score, but the Normal was successful in stopping the onslaught of her heavy opponents. VWhen the final whistle blew, the score stood 14 to 7 in favor of the Normal. The Normal line-up : Keplinger, Bond, Clark, Rairdon, Knowlton, Frank, Lindstedt, Ford, Gaasland, Staggs, Miller, and Thomas. Substitutes: Dawson for Bond; W. Thomas for Miller; Miller for Gaas-land. On October 19 the Normal team met the University of Washington Frosh on the Bellingham field, and, according to all "dope," the teams were evenly matched. The Normal team was particularly anxious to win because of the defeat which they had received at the hands of the visitors in 1921, the score at that time being 14 to o in favor of the Frosh. The lines of both teams were evenly matched but the Normal line could not withstand the charges of the Fresh's heavy backfield. The Normal realized early in the game the futility of bucking the Frosh line, and relied upon a series of forward passes for gaining yardage. Twice (luring the game the Normal worked the ball dlown the field to the 20-yard line, and each t'me a forward pass was intercepted, thereby losing the ball to the Frosh. The visitors depended on the charges of their heavy backfield for gain-ing yardage and thus secured the points necessary to win the contest. One IurInred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 118 ---------- When the final whistle blew, the score stood 9 to o in favor of the Frosh. The players of both teams will always remember this game as a hard-fought battle. Normal line-up: Keplinger, Dawson, Rairdon, Knowlton, Frank, Lind-stedt, Staggs, Thomas, Clark, Vanderford and Ford. Substitutes: Gaasland for Vanderford; W. Thomas for Staggs; Bowman for Ford. On October 27, the Normal squad met the team from St. Martins Col-lege, on the Bellingham field. The teams, as far as weight was concerned, were evenly matched, but the Normal's main standby, the forward pass, was rendeied useless on account of the muddy field and the uncertainty of passing a slippery ball. The story of the game is one of line plunges and attempted end-runs, both sides often losing the ball on fumbles. g The St. Martins squad put up a hard fight in their attempt to make up for the defeat which they received from the Normal in 1921, a defeat of 6 to o. When the timekeeper signaled the close of the game, the score stood 7 to 7, each team having made one touchdown and then kicked goal. Normal line-up: Lindstedt, Dawson, Keplinger, Frank, Rairdon, Ford, Knowlton, Staggs, Gaasland, Thomas and Tryggvi. Substitutes: Bond for Dawson; W. Thomas for Gaasland; and Bowman for Ford. At Ellensburg, November 4, the Bellingham Normal squad met the strong Ellensburg Normal team, the team which had defeated the Cheney Normal team earlier in the season. On the outcome of this game rested the football championship of the Normal Schools of the state, and, consequently, was a hard fought battle throughout. S The Bellingham line was in the pink of condition for the fight, but the backfield was the wea'kest that it had been at any time during the season. The weakness of the backfield was due to the fact that one of the regular players had left school, and furthermore, two of the halfbacks had, in previous games. received injuries from which they had not totally recovered. The Bellingham team tore holes through their opponents' line, but the backfield men were not in condition to deliver the follow-up necessary to gain yardage. The final score of 19 to o in favor of Ellensburg, secured for Ellensburg the Normal football championship for 1922. Normal line-up: Dawson, Frank, Knowlton, Lindstedt, Rairdon, Ford, Keplinger, Staggs, Gaasland, Miller and Thomas. Substitutes: Hillier for Staggs; W. Thomas for A. Thomas; Tryggvi for Miiller; Bond for Keplinger; Bowman for Lindstedt. Football men earning letters: Keplinger, Bond, Dawson, Rairdon, ".

One Hundred Twenty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 122 ---------- The basketball season opened with a large turnout for practice, and after two weeks' training it was found necessary to limit the squad to sixteen men, due to cramped training facilities. Practically all of the men chosen had had experience on high school teams, and as a consequence the season started off with red hot enthusiasm on the part of all concerned. A real contest developed for the first team positions, and the players were chosen from the way they showed up in the series of games played with Edison, Fairhaven H. S., Ferndale H. S., Blaine H. S.,and the Y. M. C. A. In each of these games Coach Carver used his entire squad in order that he might follow the actual performance of each player in some of the games. The story of the playing of the Blue and White hoopsters is told by the fact that out ,of the 17 games played, the Normal won 15 and lost 2. The total points scored by the Normal (luring the games being 592, while their op-ponents made 378. One of the features of the basketball season was the winning of the championship of the Washington Normals and also of the minor colleges by the Bellingham school. The Bellingham Normal wen three out of the four games played with Ellensburg, and both games played with Cheney. The basketball season throughout was considered by Coach Carver and the entire school as being highly successful from all angles. A record has thus been established that will be recorded in the history of the school, thereby establishing a precedent for the teams that are to follow, in the years to come. Men earning letters in basketball were: Randolph Dawson, Laurence Keplinger, Carl Hoggatt, Leland Rankin, Walter Vanderford, Maurice Thomas, Orville Hoggatt, Guy Bond. SECOND TEAM.

Included in the group were five of last year's letter men, these forming the nucleus around which Coach Carver built his team. The large turn-out developed cinsiderable rivalry for the various posi-tions, thereby giving the followers of the Blue and White teams assurance that the schedule of games yet to be played would result in a large percentage of victories for the Normal.

Thomas Dawson Bowman Walling Ryan Hannah Vanderford* Frank West Hoggatt Bailey Abbey* *Letter men. Although the Normal has only two of last year's lettermen among this year's group, Coach Carver is very optimistic, as the new material is showing up well. He feels that he has selected men who will win the necessary points.

Basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, and track have been a source of pleasure to a great many girls of this school. The successful outcome of these activities is largely due to Miiss Frank, the coach. She has worked untiringly through-out the whole year, and has had her hands full managing and coaching the teams. Never before have so many different branches of athletics been open to the girls, nor such a feeling of good fellowship and sportsmanship developed as during the past season. Their motto has been, "Sport for spoirt's sake." BASKETBALL. As in previous years, basketball played the greater part in the girl's ath-letics. The season opened in December with verve, and found a score of girls keenly interestedl in basketball. For the first two months, our coach, Miss Frank, gave all the practice to passing and to the study of rules and the etiquette of ,good. clean plavin. From early in December until February, on every afternoon of the week, 'the girls turned out faithfully and regularly for practice. In February, teams were chosen to represent the two classes, with the Kline Cup as the prize. This is the prize awarded to the team scoring the greater number of points in the series of three games. Violet Mitcham, the reliable forward, was. chosen captain by the Sophomores; Carla La Vigne, the speedy center, was the Freshman choice. The first game was one of great excitement and one long to, be remem-bered by both teams. As the Sophomores had 'won 'the Kline Cup the past year, the Freshmen entered the game with a strong determination to capture the prize: trophy, while the Sophomores were just as determined to keep, it; so the battle was on. From the first toss-up each knew that whoever won a would have to put up a hard fight. At the end of the first half, the Sophomores were ahead with a score of 16-14. During the intermission the Freshmen became imbued with a determination to win, and the last half of the game was a hard fight for supremacy. The Sophomores did some remarkable team-work, but the Freshman seemed to have a charm over the ball and some notable plays were made. When the whistle blew, the Freshmen had won by a score of 29-25. The second game was full of suspense and excitement, the score being tied at the end of the first half. Again the Freshmen were victorious with the game ending in a score 28-17, thus giving them a lead of 13 points. With much spirit and enthusiasm, everyone looked forward to the third and final game that was to decide the winners of the cherished Kline Cup. Through the halls and around the gym, just before the game, small groups were to be found seriouly discussing some apparently weighty subjects. Com-ing closer, one might chance to hear some stray remark such as: "Now, who do you think will win ?" followed by individual opinions. Or, they might have been discussing the deciding game, for that was the subject uppermost in One Hundred Twenty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 129 ---------- everyone's mind. Tuesday night the game was played and every member of each team had the light of battle in her eye. Long before 4 o'clock the small gym was packed. As the two teams came on the floor, a deafening cheer went up from both sides, and the "Rah ! Rah ! Rah! Freshman !" could hardly be distingushed from the "Hip! Hip! Hooray! Sophomores!" The whistle sounded, the game was on hard and fast, each team determined to win. Skilled teamwork was apparent on both sides. The first half ended in a tie, Io-Io. As the girls came back for the second half the loyal supporters of both teams were tense with suspense. The Sophs were hoping for only 7 baskets more than their opponents. After fifteen minutes of quick, decisive playing and excellent team work on the part of both teams, the enthusiastic shouts of the Freshmen told that fcr the next year the Kline Cup was theirs, as the final score for the series of games was 79-59, in their favor.

The first six weeks meetings of the classes were devoted entirely to instructions in volley ball rules and methods of playing the game. The next three weeks were filled with much enthusiasm and spirit, as the girls of each class chose their captains and formed teams. As much enthusiasm was aroused in the games which were played as had been shown in the preceding quarter's athletic contests, but neither class seemed to gain prece-dence over the other and each game was lost and won in the spirit of "sports for sports' sake." The last six weeks were given entirely to indoor baseball and tennis. Many girls who, heretofore, had never shown athletic ability rose to the height of fame in the games which were played between the two classes. Several games of tennis were played between the Freshman and Sopho-more classes, but the contestants were so equally matched that neither could stand out as being victor.

One hundred Thirty-Six ___ __._ ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 137 ---------- HEI,,N IIGHTOWER, Editor SAM S. FORD., Business Mgr. iM1Rs. CARL IRISH, Editor ANNA IREGINA LIND, Asst. Editor THE WEEKLY MESSENGER Real news, live jokes, announrements, student and faculty pictures, stu-dent opinions, insjpiring editorials-these are but a few of the things that have characterized The Weekly Messenger for the past year and made it a forceful reminder that the Normal is a live school-that its faculty and stu-dents are actually accomplishing things. Beginning shortly before 1903, the Students' Association has published The Weekly Messenger, and has endeavored each year to make it more rep-resentative of school life, more interesting and more worth while in every way. At first The Messenger was published quarterly, then monthly and, since 1916, weekly. The Board of Control, made up of five students and two faculty representatives, is responsible for its management. The organization of The Messenger consists of a business manager, who receives a salary, and editor-in- chief, who receives four credits in English for the first quarter and, if re-elected, a salary for the second quarter, and a staff of reporters, who re-ceive two credits each. One Hundred Thirty-Seven ,. r1N dFl to t"I v n ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 138 ---------- The regular issue of the Messenger contains from eight to ten pages, but specials containing extra pages are sometimes issued. A high grade quality of magazine paper is used, which makes it more attractive than the ordinary school paper. Its attractiveness is further enhanced by the quality and beauty of its cuts. The editorial policy of the Messenger the past year has been a construc-tive one, keeping in mind at all times the best interests of the school. Whole-some physical and social activities have at all times been earnestly championed and high standards of scholarship continually upheld. The Messenger has also unceasingly urged student attendance at all school activities. It is com-monly accepted as a fact that the Messenger has dcone more than any other one institution to create a real school spirit. At the beginning of the first quarter, Don Clark, a graduate of Whatcom High School, was elected business manager. He gave up this position at the end of a few weeks, as unforeseen circumstances caused him to leave school. Sam Ford, a graduate of Ellensburg High School, and a student at the Normal, was then elected business manager. Under the business management of Mr. Ford the Messenger has been put on a sound financial basis, and a re-serve of hundreds of dollars has been built up. The Messenger now carries more inches of advertising than ever before in its history, and it is believed that the advertisers are getting results. Helen Hightower, a veteran Messenger reporter, was elected editor for the first quarter. She proved herself very capable, and made the Messenger a medium of information, instruction, and entertainment. Mrs. Carl Irish, a graduate of Winlock High School, was elected editor for the second quarter, and re-elected for the third quarter. She came well recommended, and proved herself a capable journalist. She originated the Health Column, Student Opinion, and several other new departments in the paper. Nothing escaped her all-seeing eye. She has consistently built the i paper up to a higher state of perfection. Mrs. Vaughan, the Messenger critic, has proved herself a constant source of inspiration. She has set high ideals for the Messenger, and these ideals are gradually being reached. Mrs. Vaughan has not only caused constant improvement in the paper, but has endeared herself to all members of the staff as well. -0- One 1 hindred 'Thirty-Eiight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 139 ---------- One Hindred 'Ihirty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 140 ---------- THE STORM FIRST PRIZE STORY HELEN CASE I know not how long I sat there, but as what seemed an unusually fierce blast of wind burst over the cabin, I sprang from the chair and began pacing the floor before the open fire, blindly groping for some faint trace of the past, almost frantic, there alone with the horror of a last memory, a horror made keener by the unlashed force of the frenzied elements without, the barren lonesomeness of the room, and the knowledge-or rather sense-of the com-plete isolation of the cabin. For I knew not where I was, nor did I know by what means I had come there, nor for what purpose. The past, up to the time that the cabin had taken form around me and I had become conscious of the tempest without, was a blank. A faint sense of expectancy was apparent, but for what or whom I knew not. I stepped to the door; opened it enough to peer out into the night. With-out was inky darkness; not an atom of light penetrated the dull black curtain that overcast the heavens. The light from within scarcely struggled a. foot into the blinding, unrelenting icy toirrent that swept past and over the cabin. The clinking ice-covered branches of a giant oak that hugged the eaves, moaned and shrieked unceasingly; at intervals the great limbs clanking loudly sent volleys of their glass coating clattering over the roof. Again I returned to, the chair before the huge smoke-blackened fireplace and sat there listening to the hissing,,sputtering voices of the burning logs on the hearth, while uncanny impish flashes and shadows bowed, danced, and mocked each other over and about me, while the moaning, clattering fools cackling without sent burning, then icy, fingers tracing down my spine filling my soul with superstition, dlread, and unbearable lonesomeness,. Suddenly the door burst open and the icy blast swept into the room. The * fire flared and roared on the hearth and the whole cabin shuddered. I sprang for the open door with almost hysterical relief, and peered again out into the frozen hurricane. I could see nothing but a shifting, whirling volume of grey and even that faint trace of the nig'ht was almost obliterated by the wind-driven particles of snow and ice that heat into my face with blinding, suffo-cating force. I stood for a moment breasting the storm, with the wind rushing in about me chilling the very fire in the hearth, trying to force my vision out into the lashing elements, half expecting:, wildly hoping that it would encounter some living thing, probably some wild thing caught out in the storm, seeking shelter, for even my wildest hopes could not imagine any human being out in such a night. Then through a blast of less snow-filled air it seemed that I discerned something, a faint outline of darker substance than the snow-covered earth that lay without in the space that should have been lighted by the open door. With one hand clutching the door frame, I ventured a step into the night, my foot touched-I almost stumbled onto something soft. Groping about, my hand encountered a. mass of snow-covered cloth and then a shoe. I uttered a One Hundred Forty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 141 ---------- smothered -cry and my lungs filled with ice and my breath stopped. I stooped to drag the thing into the cabin, then realizing the comparative lightness of it, I gathered it into my 'arms, staggered into the cabin and deposited it on the floor before the fire. Closing the door, I rushed back and began frantically tearing at the frozen cloth, th'at I now realized inclosed a human figure. I loosened the outer covering and as the hood fell back, my brain reeled, and for an instant I almost held my lost memory within my grasp, for what I saw before me was a woman, hardly more than a girl. Memory hovered close for an instant, and 'then was gone. I knew that it was she for whom I waited but that was all, except that she was dearer to me than life itself. Flinging myself at her side I tore frc m her, her outer garments land shoes and began vigorously chafing her body and hands. I worked, numb with fear; praying, pleading, then demanding life for her. After hours it seemed I felt the pulse tremble and 'the hand I held grew soft and warm. I arose, drew the rude couch before the fire. Lifting her upon it I covered her with a blanket and then threw more wood on the fire. When I returned to, her side, her beautiful blue eyes were open and she gazed into the fire. Her gaze wandered about the flickering' walls, then stopped when they encountered my own. "Oh," she cried in a queer anxious voice. "Hurry! Hurry!" For an instant a strange convulsion of thought seized me and the forgotten past was almost within my grasp. I strove after it with every ounce of will power that I could muster, but with no avail, I stared hard into her face, but she had already fallen again into deep slumber. Settling back in my chair by her couch, I sat, my eyes never leaving her, as tho she were the only tie by which I retained my reason, even my life. I seemed to be fighting some unseen force ,that menaced her as well as myself. I know not how long I sat there with that wild melody of the night in my ears, my soul crying for her to awaken, for well I knew that she held the key to my present unnatural trouble. Yet I dared not awaken her. At length her Keyes opened and ,for an instant wandered about. She saw me; a blank, bewildered look came into. her eyes and she struggled for an instant to arise; then as tho still too weak,,she settled back into her couch. Then she spoke. "I can't seem to remember where we are. What 'are we doing here ? Oh, I don't know who we are." I staggered and cried aloud with disappointment. I did not answer, for I dared not tell her that since I found myself in the cabin hours before, that I, with all my might had been trying to solve those very mysteries. Then omit-ting mention of myself I told her of my taking her in out of the storm. She listened, her eyes wide with wonder. "Silly," she said, "I haven't been away from you even. I belong here with you." "I know that," I hastened to reply. "But-" I halted at a loss what to say. One Hundred Forty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 142 ---------- Her eyes filled with pity at my bewilderment and she sat erect, her little white hand slipped into mine. "Tell me what is the matter, (lear," she said. "I must know now." I gathered her into my arms and a feeling of peace and contentment came over me, such as I had never known before. Then I told her of my own lost memory, for now it seemed a matter of no importance. With her in my arms, nothing mattered; life, even death, must be full now. I knew that of the past I held the greatest and most wonderful part. Then I added, "So you see, dear, I don't know either, but we will prob-ably remember all when morning comes and the storm ceases." But in my own mind I doubted it would cease. "But," she quickly exclaimed, "I wish I knew why I was out there in the storm." Then a soft, puzzled look came into her eyes and she seemed to be / listening for something. She crept closer into my arms and almost in a whisper added. "I almost hear something out there as if it were calling me. Don't you know? Can't you see that we lack something? If we could stop the storm and could remember we could have it." I answered, honestly enough, not being sure I wanted anything changed. "I feel nothing but content." So with her in my arms I sat, my heart filled with wonder and peace, my brain dull and drowsy. I must have been dozing, until something suddenly sounded from without that brought me up with a start. It must have been a cry, yet I knew it was impossible. I looked at her. "Did you hear it too ?" she whispered. "No," I lied. "I just remembered what you said when you first awak-ened. You said, "Daddy," and told me to hurry!" For an instant startled despair flooded her eyes. Then they became little flaming sparks and her mouth grew hard. She sprang from my arms and grasped the huge iron poker from near the fire and raised it high above my head. "Fool," she cried, "Hurry !" The poker descended and darkness came. I opened my eyes and became conscious of a strange, crackling, roaring sound, and a strong odor filled my nostrils. Through a haze I made my way out through the smoke-clouded room. My brain cleared. This was no cabin, but our own home. I darted through the hall to the nursery and grabbed the sleeping baby, took him to his wide-awake and now hysterical mother just as the firemen came rushing up the stairs. We turned just in -time to see the fire coming through the partition into the baby's room. I never mentioned my dream to her and am inclined to think that she does not know of the night in the cabin. Yet sometimes, when the wind blows and the snow flies, that soft, puzzled look comes into her eyes and it seems to me she is unusually attentive to little Billy.

STAPLETON The strings of lights down Western Avenue shone dim and hazy through the thick, chill fog of an early morning in November as Porky stepped out of a hospital stairway and shuffled along past the inviting signs of chop houses and quick lunch counters. The aroma of strong, steaming coffee cried appeal-ingly but vainly to him-for Porky was broke. He muttered curses against the reasonless efficiency of the progressive Western city which by its well-organized and united administration of charity prevented the dalliant sponging from one organization to another that had elsewhere supported him. In desperation, since his arrival in the city a week before, he had accepted the job of distribution of bargain-screaming advertise-ments for a Jewish clothing store. The papers he had distributed in the near-est garage receptacle; the proceeds, a half dollar, had provided three meals of semi-satisfying quality. Sadly he faced the inevitable-work. An hour later his application for that which he most detested met with success. The shrewd foreman of a wharfage company had gazed appraisingly from his unshaven, vacant face to his ham-like arms and set him to work unloading bags of cement from a scow. The work was not of a kind con-ducive to mental fatigue, but, as the day wore on, and a drizzling rain began to leak out over the city, Porky longed for the solitude of a hospitable shed or doorway and the solace of flapjacks or beef sandwich. As noon approached, in spite of the weariness produced by the heaviness of cement sacks, lifted by muscles unused to work, all thoughts were swept away by a ravenous hunger. As the men, set free at noon, started to leave the dock, Porky stepped up to his employer. "Say, boss, lend me a quarter against the day's pay," he entreated. The man gazed at him suspiciously. "I know your kind," he said. "If I pay you before night you'll jump the job. Nothin' stirrin-'." "Lend me a quarter and I'll pay you tonight," he whined to a fellow worker, a tall, gawkey man with a sallow face. "I don't make a principle of lending," he drawled. "Besides, my allowance from my brother, the Duke de Goof, hasn't arrived this month. I'm rather low myself." By this time the crowd of workers had scattered and Porky was left to lie flat upon an irregular mountain of sacks and contemplate the ironies of fate thruout the noon hour. If the morning had seemed long, the afternoon was endless. Porky's fatigue, mounting each weary moment, increased his natural aversion to work. Finally, when he was sure that all the clocks in the world had stopped, the whistles brought relief. As it happened that Porky was farthest from the gang-plank when the whistle blew, he was. the last to reach the shore. About to touch it, he was met by the returning foreman. One Hundred Forty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 144 ---------- What! The job's not done! Hey, there, you big piece of cheese ! addressing Porky, "you stay on and finish !" he bawled. Red revolt rose in Perky's 1;osom, but long experience as the under dog gave wisdom. He turned back to the unfinished task and set to work fever-ishly in order to complete it as soon as possible. Each sack seemed heavier than the last. A defective sack scattered the fine white (lust into the air. His eyes smarted and his hands were raw and red. But in spite of it all there arose to cheer him visions of hot, thick pancakes reeking with butter and maple syrup. Juicy steaks and enormous helpings of mashed potato floated before him as in the deepening gloom he sought the shore and presented himself to the foreman who sat at a desk in the dimly lit outer office of the transportation company, making out his reports at the end of the day's work. The man care-lessly made out a slip, remarking : All the fight of Porky's make-up arose. With shaking fist he glared at the man behind the desk. "I want my pay now! Right now ! D'you hear? I don't want it to-morrow! I want it now!" he bellowed. For a minute the two men gazed at each other. The foreman had risen and was taking in the other, coolly, calmly inspecting him from head to foot. "You'll take your pay tomorrow or you'll leave it. Now, shut up and get out before I forget I ever hired you !" Sullenly Porky seized the pay check and slunk out of the office. The world was again reduced to a gray, cold, foodless void. Early the next morning the boy who came to clean the office found a tall, timid figure crouched against the doorway. Porky's eyes had a look of mute expectancy as he awaited the late arrival of the spruce and prosperous looking clerk. He stepped up to the window and presented his check. "Let me see," said the man. "Ten hours of work at forty-five cents. Four-fifty. Not married, 'are you?" "Nope," growled Porky. "Now, do you happen to have fifty cents ?" "Why the Sam Hill do you want to know ?" Porky muttered. "Well, you see that will be needed to, make the five dollars for your bachelor tax." U One Hundred Forty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 145 ---------- ON THE WAY THIRD PRIZE STORY IULIA SEMPLE At last the packing was done and Miss Jane sat waiting on the front porch for the rig which was to take her to the Home. Her lips trembled as she gazed around. "Good-bye," she whispered. "Good-bye." Not wishing to be detected by Sarah, who might return at any moment, she wenit down the walk to take one or more look at the cherished rose bushes. A few straggling buds were, left, though it was late October. "You are beautiful," sheisaid, as she plucked a half-blown bud, "but one ;day you .will be withered like this one." She held up a dried and faded one. "Life was made so." Sarah's voice came clearly from the kitchen. "The rig is here." With a heavy heart Jane walked down the !path. A heavy middle-aged man descended from the wagon and proceeded to load the trunk and various other bundles. "Good-bye, Sarah," called Jane from the high seat. "Good- bye, Aunt Jane. Let m.e hear if you get there all right." "I'll drop a line tomorrow. You've been real kind, Sarah." Suddenly, Sarah climbed into the wagon and caught the slight figure in her arms. "Oh, you're so good," she whispered. "I hope you'll be happy. You know if you hain't, George and I will be glad to have you come back." Jane Clemmy caught her lips hard between her teeth. Then she spoke calmly. "'I know, dear, but I'll be all right. Go on. Go on quick," she breathed to the driver. They had traveled perhaps two miles in silence when the man pointed out a new brick school house on the site of the little old frame one thlat had burned down'the summer before. "It's got electric lights and a water fountain," he boasted. "My, don't times change ithough ?" exclaimed Jane Clemmy. Again there was silence. "I don't know as I've been over this road in years," she continued at length. "My niece and I usually went the other way by railroad, but I guess there's no railroad to the Home. That's why they had to send." "It was no trouble for me. Ever see the Home?" Jane Clemmy shook her head. "No," she said slowly. "No. They say it's nice." "It is. I know the matron. She's a nice woman." "She is ?" "Yes, ma'am. I worked the farm for her before I bought one of my own joining' it." One Hundred Forty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 146 ---------- They were approaching the old church. "My land !" exclaimed Miss Jane. "Don't that look natural? Let's see. The cemetery is over there, ain't it ?" The man assented. "Would it be asking too much, would it carry you too far out of your way, to take me there? I'd be willing to pay you extra." "That's all right. Won't take five minutes. Your folks buried there?" "No," she shook her head. "All the Clemmys are buried over to Sleepy Hollow burying ground." The man started, and looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. "So you're a Clemmy. Your niece being a Davis, I didn't'know." He fumbled the lines nervously. "She's my sister's daughter. When her mother died she came to live with me." They were nearing the entrance. "There it is," she exclaimed, pointing to a large maple tree in one corner of the grounds. "Would you mind driving in the shade of that tree.?" "Thank you," she said with a deeply indrawn breath, when they had reached the place. "I just wanted to see how it looked." The man cleared his throat as if to speak. Jane waited politely but as he remained silent, she continued. "When I was looking over my things to come away, I found a rose that was given to me here by the young man I was to marry. "We thought the tree hid us that day but it didn't." She gazed at the man beside her as if seeing him for the first time. "His nose reminds me some of yours. Otherwise there is no resemblance." He opened his mouth but no words came. Jane went on. "Someone saw us and told my father. Father thought I had been deceiving him so he vowed I'd never leave home again. I never did except to go to church with him and sister Susan, until after father died. I had one letter from him. Father burned it before I had a chance to read it." She paused. "For as much as five years I believed and hoped." "How do you mean, believed ?" "Believed he'd come for me. But I really never held it against him after the first. I hain't had much happiness in my life, except what Sarah brought me. She's going to get married now. That's why I'm going to the Home. I mean she'll have her chance. Not to be shut up with a hard old woman." "You ain't hard," asserted the man. "I might get so." "And you ain't old, either." "That's because you're about my age, you think that." "You deserve ... I hope you deserve better than to go to a Home," said the man- solemnly. . "Oh, they say it's real nice there," responded Jane Clemmy with deter-mined cheerfulness. After a pause she continued. One Hundred Forty-Six I - - ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 147 ---------- I didn't need to go to the Home, but when Sarah told me she was going to get married-well I just wanted her to have her chance-to be happy. It was somehow a comfort and relief to talk to this gentle voiced man. The sun had sudenly sunk out of sight. The early October dusk was fast approaching. In the chilly air Jane shuddered. "You cold ?" asked the man gently. He clambered from his seat to the rear of the wagon, coming back directly with a warm shawl which he spread over Jane's lap. Standing beside her, hat off, "Jane," he said, "look." Startled, Jane obeyed. "Why," she began, faintly. "You ain't?" "Yes I yam. It don't seem fair to let you go on thinking me a stranger." Her hands fell and she sank limply against the back of the wagon seat. "Oh," she faltered, "what have I said ?" "It's all right what you said." He drew up the sagging shawl. "I ought to have gone to your father. But when you didn't write, I thought maybe you didn't care." He put his hand over both of hers to still their trembling. "Listen, Jane. We were both young and foolish then. When you didn't answer my letter, I went away to try and forget. For ten years I wandered around thinking perhaps-" "What were you thinking?" "Perhaps you might write-and tell me what I wanted to know-what I asked in the letter." "That was the letter Father burned." "I had just made up, my mind to try again when word reached me you were married." Jane Clemmy looked fixedly at his face. His smile removed the last doubt of his identity. "Well of all things," she said. The man went on. "We can get a license at Harlem-" "License ?" "Jane, I hate like everything to take you to that home. If you will marry me tonight, I'll try to make up." Jane Clemmy sat silent. A tumult of feeling-fear-hope--- joy---dread, surprise passed through her mind. "Why," she exclaimed suddenly, "I can't I've applied, and my entrance fee is paid." But as if it were 'a cobweb, the man brushed the obstacle aside. "Anyway, I'll have to tell the matron," said Jane. The remainder of the journey was spent pleasantly in talking over old times and in planning for the future. Jane insisted upon explaining to the matron. I doubt very much if she made herself understood, for the matron remarked after she left, "Was she reported insane ?"

Sweeter than words can tell, Beyond the touch of artist at his best. How sweetly thrills the heart With tender warmth, As, gazing at the summer sunset sky, The lingering token of a day gone by, I see the lovely colors come and go In slow and melting changes. Here in the dreaming purple twilight Returns the charm of life To soothe the pain That else would poignant be, Before the starlight Speaks through the night Of day's eternity. The glow is gone. The sky is gray and amber; But shading deep To darkness and the night. The stars come dimly out, Reflecting in the water, And answered back z By millions sparkling bright. Sparkling and darkling, The stars above and under, Answer my longings And fill my soul with wonder,- Wonder and longing Akin in earth and sky. The stars see not Their million bright reflections; Nor do they feel the kindling human eye. Yet do we see and feel, We long and wonder, Dreaming that they Our longings can supply. The night is gone- The clear day gathers in the east. Our dream is done. One Hundred Forty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 149 ---------- Beneath the sun Our duty stands forth in its sober dress. The task today has set must be the best We needed rest- Th.e sweetest dreams and rest were ours. But now, refreshed and strengthened By those dreams, that sweet repose, We gather all our forces For the task the sunlight shows. Our heaven glows not now With the lights of other worlds; But day confines us to our own And to its needs.

HAESKE The day was dying; the month was dying; the year was dying; and someone was saying that the stranger was dying in the deserted shack on Thunder Creek. "He'll last a couple days at th' most, an' then you fellows got to help me dig a hole fer him." It was the man who had found the stranger that was speaking. "Aw, toss 'm in the river," suggested another burly miner, flipping his cards on the rough table. With that the five men who had been playing cards arose from the boxes on which they were sitting and moved restlessly about the room. Their movements caused the flame from the oil lamp on the stove to quiver, which made the shadows of the men assume grotesque forms. "Say, gang !" a voice came from the corner. "Let's roam over to. the old shack and give th' bum th' once over." "Huh, might jus' as well. Can't get a kick out o' playin' poker with a forty-card deck. Anyhow, none of you birds got much cash, so wot's the use." And the dealer gathered up the abbreviated deck and stuck it in a chink in the wall. "Vatch a dead man die? Das ban von fool vay to commence das noo yar," one of the players observed. Old Timer, who had been sitting by the stove remarked dryly, "Well, 4 gents, this here year is already nineteen four, and it's fifteen minutes gone liOW. The new year's rejoicing consisted of a few yawns. Some one was cursing the new year; another was "damn glad nineteen three wuz gone;" another was finishing his stock of golden liquor. Thus the new year had come into Glacier Camp. The men were preparing to leave; one of them touched the old man on the shoulder. "Well, Old Timer, here's yer coat an' lid; come along; the whole bunch are going; anyway the tramp took yer old shack t' croak in, an' yu might jus' as well hop along an' enjoy yerself." Old Timer put on his coat and followed the miners. The seven men walked silently in single fire along the treacherous moun-tain path. Their lanterns cast weird reflections in the darkness of the wintry night against the snow. Some one stumbled and swore loudly; his voice echoed and re- echoed thru the tall trees that surrounded the illuminated space thru whch seven bulky forms were continually moving. The mournful howl of a wolf blended strangely with the voice of the miner. One Ihundred Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 151 ---------- Half an hour later, after having climbed, stumbled, and slid down a steep incline, the tumbled down shack was reached. The leader of the cavalcade en-tered, stopped short, and muttered: "Well, I'll be damned ;- he's dead." The others followed in and gathered around the cot of the dead man. "Ain't he a hell of a lookin' specimen ?" observed one of the men. The assemblage agreed with him. The corpse was hideous, ravaged with disease, unkempt, unshaven, his grey hair tangled, his figure gaunt like that of a scarecrow. "My God !" The men quickly turned their eyes on Old Timer who was standing horror struck by the side of the bed. He fell to his knees, took the man's hand and stared at the ruby ring the man was wearing. "He's come back-The ring I gave him-It's Andrew---He's come back." Spring had come to Glacier Camp. An artist could have found a thous-and inspirations in its majestic grandeur; but to the miners it meant mud, wash-outs, and the chances of finding a vein of ore uncovered by the slides, the chances of having their little mines cave in. A solitary horseman was approaching the old cabin on Thunder Creek. His remarkable athletic build was, brought out strongly by his eastern riding clothes. His face had a cynical look which was accentuated by an already grey Van Dyke beard. As he neared the cabin, his attention was caught by a lonely grave. He leaped off his mount and read the inscription on the rough white-washed cross. g1VDR w PATERS The horseman stood for a moment over the grave; then mounted his horse and rode along tlhe trail. As he was riding, a voice startled him. "'Yo mister !" One Hundred Fifty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 152 ---------- He turned; it was a ragged boy on 'a ragged horse. "Where dja git them pants? Gosh, they look funny. You don't live here, do yu? Gosh, that's a beaut of a horse; how much dja pay fer him?-" then he stopped for a second. "Say mister, wot wuz yuh doin' at the old Patterson shack ?" The stranger had been smiling, but now his attitude became serious. "That grave-who is buried there?" "Aw, that's Ole Timer's brother. Ole Timer, he used to tell me all about him; yu know Ole Timer, don'tja? He shows me how to make traps'n snares. One (lay me an him went hunting an'-" "But what about his brother?" the stranger interrupted nervously. "Aw, he lived in the ol' shack with O1' Timer 'bout twenty 'r thirty years ago. The dead guy found a good mine; it's no good now, but he got a lot of money for it, a million dollars maybe. That's pretty much fer a no good mine, ain't it, Mister?" The stranger nodded and the boy continued. "Anyhow, this fellow told ;the Ole Timer he's goin' to Seattle 'r Noo York. Say, wuz you ever in Noo York? Anyhow, he sez he wuz goin' to git Ole Timer'n a couple years, but he don't. He come back though this win-ter, but paw sez he looked like the devil. Gosh, I wish I could have see'd him. He died an' my paw helped bury him;. My paw-" "Boy, take me to the place where Emil Patterson-I mean Old Timer lives," the stranger spoke hurriedly. "Yer there already. He lives in that there bunkhouse, right over- GOSH." The boy was standing alone gaping at a five-dollar bill in his palm. The door to the bunk house swung open and the stranger entered. Old Timer was seated in a corner pounding some pieces of quartz. He looked up. Staring at the stranger, he dropped his tools, rubbed his eyes and looked again, V his body trembling. "OH, GOD!-IT CAN'T BE-ANDREW---ANDREW---YOU ARE DEAD AND"-He arose slowly, his eyes terrified. The stranger put his arms around the old man and spoke stumblingly, "Emil-it took a long, long, time, but thank God, I've come back."

He drcamned dreams of the things he was going to do When the time would come for dreams to come true. Oh, the conquests he'd make when he set to work; The tasks he'd do; he would not shirk. The world would resound with praise to his name. The people would stand in awe of his name. He dreamed, and the time to prepare went by, He dreamed, but work he did not try. A dreamer of dreams, one warm summer day, Sat dreaming dreams in his usual way. He dreamed of the way to fame and power, He dreamed of the things to do that hour, Of places of trust and highest esteem, Where things of import ,might be done by him, Of honors to alccrue from efforts put forth, Of people acclaiming his own true worth. He dreamed, and the days slid quietly on. He dreamed, and nary a vict'ry was won. A dreamer of dreams, one cold winter day, Sat dreaming dreams in a tired way. He dreamed of things he might have done, Of imposing honors he could hiave won. He dreamed of chances since gone by, Of worthwhile things he did not try. Oh, the many things that might have been Had he only known what he knew now, then. He dreamed, and the cold gray skies, Cast the last dark mist down over his eyes. The hustling mass that men call life, Went bustling on in its usual strife And those that saw asked what he'd done, Then, soon forgetting, passed quickly on.

Where the mystic atmosphere Makes dusk and dawn as one, And the mild moon is just as dear As is the rising sun. Where there's dim luxuriant growth, And trees would scale the sky, And a goddess breathes on both, And lo-the clouds move by. I would hear the wind caress The seaweed's golden tresses, Which rise and fall upon the breast That the tide possesses. And wakes each sleeping harmony That lies in moss enchanted, And courts the woodland violets Until a kiss is granted. I would sail a painted boat And place in it a dream, And lie and watch the white clouds float Within the silent stream. I would make a. rustic lute Of reeds and fragrant grasses, And play upon the strings to woo Each wave as it passes. I would read the sky at night, The moon among the stars, And paint the sunset, and the light Behind her purple bars.

THE DAY THE MAIL COMES IN "Hello, Central. Have you heard from the Northwlestern?" "Yes. Expected sometime this evening. She's been storm-bound all (lay behind Shelter Island." Just how many times (luring the afternoon Central had answered that same question, I did not try to guess; for the steamer had two weeks' mail, and all through the little town people were straining their ears against the north wind to catch her whistle. It was nearly an hour later that my telephone rang again, and out of the night came the operator's cheerful message. "The Northwestern has just docked. Yes, don't mention it. Goodnight." One Hundred Sixty- Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 164 ---------- As a lonely school marm who had expected to leave friends and civiliza-tion nearly two thousand miles behind, I had never ceased to marvel at the warmth of the welcome with which the town had received me. As I put on my wraps and furs, I thought with a little glow of the dozens of firesides whose owners were likewise preparing to brave the storm in response to that message out of the night. Truly the little cheechako school teacher had speedily found her place in the town. When I preached the post office, it was crowded. Behind the tiers of boxes, the postmaster was moving busily. Some had already received letters and were reading them, serenly indifferent to envious glances. A tall, finely built man in a heavy mackinaw sand fur cap eagerly drew a square envelope from, his box. "I knew I'd hear from Billy," he said. "Two winters now he's been at the University and he's never yet missed a boat. No, sir! He's joined a fraternity and he's got his football letter, but he's never yet been too busy to write to his Dad." A pretty native girl slipped shyly into the room, and drawing out a pink envelope, eagerly scanned the contents, her dark face lighting as she read. When she folded the letter her big eyes were luminous and her whole face seemed to glow softly as she stole silently out again into the night. A business man at the writing, shelf, anxiously scanning a pile of official looking letters was suddenly interrupted by the chatter of a group of rosy girls, muffled in bright colored scarfs, who swept into the room like a flock of bright- plumaged snow-birds. They were met immediately with much good natured banter. "Run along, Kids; you won't get any mail tonight." "'Aw, those men o' yours have forgot you long ago. I'll bet they're steppin' Seattle girls right no;w." "You keep still, Charley. I guess you've got nothing to say. You wait around here every boat for a letter from that blonde tourist in California." Aloof from the banter slouched a tall, fair-skinned young fellow with the wide grey eyes of a dreamer. His hat brim was pulled low but it could not hide the longing in his sensitive face. He straightened up with a smile as I spoke to him. "Oh, no, ma'am, I really didn't expect any mail. I just hang around from force of habit, I guess. You see my folks think I'm sort of a black sheep, and my girl thinks I ought to have made my fortune and been back long ago, so I don't get many letters." Then all the wistfulness returned to his face, "But when I see those fellows all reading their mail, seems as if someone ought to write to me sometime." I scanned quickly my own mail. Letters from family, from friends, from classmates, all with the same refrain: "Why will you stay up there, where it is so cold and lonely? It's a shame to think of you wasting your life in that dull place, when there's so much going on 'down here? Won't you give it up and come back ?" I looked once more around the room. They would never understand. I could never make them understand. But here I had found reality. Comedy, romance, yes, and tragedy; they were all encompassed within the four walls of ' that little post office. One Hundred Sixty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 165 ---------- DAY OF DARKNESS Boom! Boom! Boom! Crash! With anxious eyes, the inhabitants of the little town of Seward rushed out of their homes. What was this terrible thundering that seemed to echo ',round the world? Was it the day of judg-ment? Not a person spoke. Far to the west, over the famed Mbunt Lowell, appeared a glow, brilliant, gorgeous, bright red, appearing vivid and more vivid every second. Still the noise kept grumbling on. People looked at each other with fear in their faces, and at length, mystified, went slowly back to their duties. The day passed; and the second; and the third; and still those horrible sounds continued. Vegetation grew sick, turned yellow, shriveled up and died. And still that mysterious fire-cloud hung over the mountain like a marvelous curtain. Vague reports came in of explosions in the mines, but these could not be confirmed. Finally on the third day, a boat was sighted in the harbor. Soon a crowd had assembled on the wharf to meet it-a connection as they thought with the outside world. As it neared the landing, the more sharp-eyed distinguished the form of a fishing boat from Seldovia, filled with ner-vous, excited men. Plainly they had important news to tell. Breathlessly the crowd on the wharf awaited the landing of the schooner. As the boat drew nearer, the fishermen commenced shouting, and the anxious spectators could barely distinguish the words, "volcano," "Katmai," "erupting." Two. hundred miles west of Seward, towering majestically over the In-dian village of Katmai, stands Katmai volcano. Surrounded by lesser vol-canoes, Katmai stands king over the vast area that comprises the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." Little did the people of Kodiak, Wood Island, and Katmai Village realize that the depths of this huge mountain was full of dust, ashes, pumice, and hot, seething lava which was some day to boil over and ruin their little villages. But on the sixth day of June, 1912, Katmai started the awful eruption which has since caused the making of a national monument. During the three days that the people of Seward were wondering and fearing, a mass of ash and pumice, whose volume has been estimated at five cubic miles, was thrown into the a'ir and spread over an area as large as the state of Connecticut, its depth varying from ten inches to ten feet. Ash fell as far as Ketchikan, nine hundred miles away. Do you remember the peculiarly cold, wet weather of 1912? Katmai was responsible. The great quantities of fine dust which winds distributed throughout the world had undoubtedly, scientists say, a profound effect on the weather. Kodiak, one hundred miles distant from the volcano, was buried a foot deep in ashes. People despaired. Could anything live there after this? Surely it would be years before vegetation could grow again. But, as it has been expressed, the ash-fall was the "best thing that ever happened to Kodiak." After an interval of only two years, plant life grew with marvelous rapidity. But at Katmai Village the effect was far different. There you will not find the green- covered hillsides, but wreckage and desolation everywhere. While One Hundred Sixty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 166 ---------- the village of Katmai was not in the direct line of destruction, the flood which followed the eruption completely wiped out the little settlement. Fortunately, at the time of the explosion, the Indians had gone to their fishing grounds. They returned to find their town a mass of quicksand, roofs washed off from some of the houses, others filled to the eaves with pumice stone, and the little church where they had worshiped undisturbed for so many years, completely truined. A river, six miles wide and several feet deep, had left its work of destruction behind it. Strange as it may seem, during those awful sixty hours when Katmai was wreaking her vengeance on the world, not a person lost his life as a result of the explosion. Throughout the three days of intense black-ness, so dense that a lighted match could not be seen in front of you, some , unseen Power held sate the life of every person. Naturally an eruption of such size and encrmity soon drew the attention of the whole world, and accordingly the National Geographic Society that summer sent an expedition under the leadership of George C. Martin to explore this wonderful country. Alaska! They shuddered at the very thoughts of that ice-box. But after arriving at their destination, they found that the winters of Boston ,are much more severe than the winters of Kodiak and that vicinity. After reaching the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, they pitched their tents and prepared to retire for the night. But why weren't they cold? They couldn't understand. Imagine their surprise, on lying down, to find they were uncomfortably hot. But when one of the men, in desperation, thrust his thermometer into the ground and watched it rise to the boiling point they understood, and put their blankets under them to keep cool. The ground on which they were lying was part of a gigantic chemical laboratory: namely, Katmai Valley. On entering the valley, an amazing sight met the eyes of the explorers. As far as they could see, great columns of white smoke rose gracefully into the air from fissures and fumaroles, and yet they were surrounded on all sides by glaciers. Close to the very base of- the glaciers rose the steam, and curled around the mountain wall five miles beyond. The party found Katmai to be the greatest active crater in the world, many times larger than the famed Kilauea. The crater is three miles wide and three thousand, seven hundred feet deep. It is no wonder that the people of Seward wondered and feared during those three days of terrible suspense. But when it was over, and the little town lay covered with ashes, they realized what an unusual and wonderful manifestation of nature they had seen, and were proud to say that they had been through the eruption of Mount Katmai. RUTH F. PEDERSON. One limdlred Sixty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page [167] ---------- A DAY THAT LASTS ALL NIGHT June in Alaska! Was ever such weather or such a country? Words simply cannot paint it. Service came close to it in his poetry, and Curwood has caught a bit of it in prose, but there are no words in the English or any other language that can give an idea of the way this valley looks today; the blue mountain tol:,ped with glaciers that shine like crowns of diamonds; the sun sparkling on the waters of the bay; the waterfalls lacing the mountains like white ribbon. In the States, people are suffocating in the heat, but up here the air is so fresh and 'bracing it makes one feel like squaring his should-ers and tackling all the difficulties in the universe. ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 168 ---------- I have often tried to decide which of all my Alaskan days has been the most interesting, but now I am nearly certain that it was yesterday and last night. I have seen many festivals and celebrations here, but last night's stands out from them all because it is truly and distinctively of the North. June 21, the longest day in the year, is the day on which all Alaska holds carnival. Of course here in the southern part of the territory we cannot see the midnight sun, but that makes no difference in the celebration. So last night at eight o'clock the towns-pe:ple gathered at the foot of Lake Dewey Trail to start on the annual Midnight Sun picnic. It was just a little after sunset in the valley then and the orange glow had not even begun to fade from the peaks as we started up the trail. It was only a short climb to the lake-, and by the time we reached it our guides had a bonfire blazing. For the next two hours everyone amused himself in his own way. Some fished, while others tramped the swamps, braving mosquitoes and gnats for the sake of the great blue violets that grow there. These northern violets are wonderful in size and color but I was disappointed to find that they have almost no fragrance. The children scattered everywhere, playing tag in the: woods and skipping stones over the water. Some even went in wading, altho the :water was ice-cold and Alaskan nghts are always chilly. A group of old timers sat around the fire and swapped yarns of the early days on the trail. As I watched them peace-fully puffing at their pipes it was difficult to realize what hardships they had gone through for the sake of the gold they expected to find. At II o'clock everyone gathered around the fire for supper. It was as nearly dark then as it ever is during these June nights, a dense blue twilight in 'the open spaces, shading to real darkness only under the shadows of the trees. I shall never forget that picture; the firelight on all those faces, with the black wall of the mountain behind and the lake in front, a sort of shining blur in the blue dusk. Somewhere in the shadows a waterfall dashed itself down over the Crocks, 'and the air was heavy with the sweet breath of the marsh-hyacinths that the children had gathered in the swamp below. Just at midnight, when our campfire had burned to a bed of embers, a sudden glow appeared across the lake, and we saw ;a yellow ball of light appa.rently just rising from the water; for the path of its reflection extended across the lake nearly to our feet. There was a moment of silence, then someone exclaimed, "The Midnight Sun, of course!" and the tension was broken with a laugh. A frame covered with yellow cheese cloth, a strong searchlight and a little ingenuity were all that had been used, but the effect, to me at least, was startling. ' A clear tenor voice started the air of Auld Lang Syne, and in a moment the whole company w:as singing. It was the last , touch needed to make the night 'perfect. The crowd separated into small groups after that, and the sky was already growing light in the east when we started on the downward trail. Not yet two o'clock, but on every side of us the birds were waking with gay little calls of greeting. One Hundred Sixty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 169 ---------- Suddenly I felt an impulse to know whether the charm and power of this land was real or whether it held me merely because of its novelty. I turned to the girl who had been my guide and companion since my arrival, pilotng me around the pitfalls which wait the unwary cheechako, and unlocking to me many secrets of the North. I knew that she had graduated from a Southern university, where her charm and ability had opened to her many desirable doors, but in the face of all protests she had quietly returned to her native mountains, insisting that her work and happiness was there. "What is it that makes people stay here," I said. "You, for instance, with your talents and education. Are you really satisfied to use them here?" She stopped on a huge, jutting boulder, and I followed her glance as it swept the valley. Above the mountains, shafts of gold and rose-color were just piercing the purple mist. The little town at our feet looked very peaceful in the early morning light. A. clean 1breeze from the bay brushed our faces. For a few moments she seemed to forget my question; then her clear, dark eyes came back to my face. "What sane person," she said slowly, "would be willing to live in a city after he had seen this ?" - o- VISION FLORIS M. CLARK In the chill greyness of the dawn, With singing hearts, we faced the trail, Thru the hot noon we struggled on; Upward till nerve and strength must fail. A little more; a few steps more; Each snow bank is a milestone past; One rocky slope to struggle o'er And then-the peak at last! The endless moun tains, glacier crowned; The glorious reach of pines and snow- God shows such things to men sometimes, But they must climb the peaks to know. One Hundred Sixty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 170 ---------- A PRINCE CHARMING OF THE FAR NORTH When I was a child, I made a trip to Nome, Alaska, on a two-masted schooner. During the long six months of the voyage I had many new and interesting experiences. One of the most anmusing of these happened at one of the Umiak islands, where our boat had gone to escape the ice floes which we had encountered in the open sea. Here we saw our first Eskimos. Shortly after our appearance in their bay they paddled out to us in their skin boats and swarmed over our decks, seemingly as much interested in us as we were in them. Our captain told us that these islands were out of the way of the general run of boats and that prolbably nothing but a few whaling vessel had ever touched there. At any rate, these Eskimos had evidently never before seen a white child, for no sooner had they spied me than I immediately became the object of their curious regard. They crowded about me, a noisy, chattering group. They seemed to be drawing each other's attention to my good points and bad points. They were not content with a perfunctory examination, each striving to out-do the other in discovering some strange new feature. One comely young Eskimo boy, about sixteen I should say, seemed to have taken a particular fancy to me and made known t6 us by signs that he intended to bring me a pair of moccasins, or "mukluks," as they call them. But alas! This young boy, in making his appraisal of me had not noticed the size of my feet. He, no doubt, thought that I would conform to the proper proportions of an Eskimo child, and Eskimos have very small hands and feet. Now, as a white person, I have never been especially noted for my big feet, but according to the Eskimo ideal I was a complete failure. The boy proudly brought his "mukluks" to me. They were made of reindeer skin and were a wonderful product of the clever fingers of the maker. After we had exclaimed over their beauty, he insisted on trying them on my feet himself. Unexpected denouement! They were too small! Far too small ! I prefer to state it that way, altho I know the Eskimo boy thought my feet were too large. We could not understand a word which he said, but nevertheless he had no difficulty in making known his extreme disgust. He also succeeded in showing me just how much too large my feet were. His idol was shattered, and while I had no very great desire to play Cinderella to an Eskimo prince, still I would like to have had those moccasins, even if I could not wear them. But my Eskimo proved to be an "Indian giver," for as soon as he had convinced himself that I could not possibly wear the "mukluks," he stalked off with them, and the last I saw of him he was paddling for shore as fast as he could go. No dou;t he already h'ad in mind some dark-skinned Eskimo maiden whose feet were worthy of his gift. MRS. LAURA BERKELEY. One Hlundred Seventy ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 171 ---------- I I MY MOUNTAIN FLORIS M.

W\Vhile mountain peaks shine in the distance, but whiter and more lofty are the mountain summits which memory sees, towering far to the northland. Pleasant faces and friendly greetings meet me on every side, but always in my heart is a yearning for the hearty hand-clasp of a com;rade of the North. F r that is the penalty which Alaska sets on all who, having once known her spell, wander from her borders. Their path-ways may lead them to the ends of the earth, ut in their hearts shall be a loneliness and longing which shall never be stilled until they have turned their faces again toward the North: toward the green shores and snow-crowned mountains of the Great Country.

BAKER EXCURSION Once a year the student body of Bellingham State Normal School goes on a pilgrimage to Mt. Kulshan, The Great White Watcher. As is the custom of all earnest pilgrims, the Normal professors and students start with the rising sun in a caravan of large Hudsons, the muffled roar of whose mighty engines stirs an accompanying echo of pulsating thirobs in the hearts of the passengers. Three hours later a hundred or more Normalites start the long upward journey, plodding on and on through solemn forests which gently sob in sympathy with the ever swelling drone of myriads of waterfalls. By four o'clock, almost seven hours later, everyone is in Camp Helio-trope, which is eleven miles frem Glacier and a mile above sea level. Through means of a well-organized staff, everyone is put to work and within three hours, camp sites have been chosen, fires built, countless pails of water brought from a turbulent glacial stream, supper cooked and served, utensils washed, beds made, firewood piled up, footgear changed, wet clothes or shoes drying by the several camp fires, and everyone "comfy-like." Then, O, those enchanting, lingering hours of sunset, dusk, and campfire! A blood-red sun plunging deep, deep into the Pacific, a sky all afire, a snow-cap bathed in a western glow, a glacier bejeweled under a moon, a roar of cataracts, a moan of :a forest, a great crackling campfire, a sound of music, voices and laughter, a song-"Nearer, My God, To Thee," and taps, a heap of coals, and blackness, blackness all about, with the stars, the moon, and the Great White Watcher hovering overhead. Four o'clock in the morning everyone is "rolling out" to the call of reveille on a bugle. By six o'clock everyone has eaten; secured his frugal lunch of graham crackers, raisins, dried prunes, chocolate bars, cheese, and possibly an orange; has had his shoes and equipment inspected; has fallen in line; has received orders of how to conduct himself on the climb; has painted, and is off with every cell of his body atingle. Up, up, up they go, oh, how slowly, but always going, all in step with the slow chant of "lift your foot, step, place, or rest." Scouts are ahead, always within sight of the line, picking the trail around yawning crevasses, across snow-bridges, along rocky ridges, and across steep, icy slopes where an ice 'axe must be used to cut steps, and possibly they have to descend a crevasse and cut steps up the other side and through a cornice of snow or ice which generally overhangs the upper side of a crevasse. One Hundred Seventy- Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 176 ---------- At four o'clock the weary but determined line has reached the highest part of the great flat dome. For some five or ten minutes they look off into space, momentarily oblivious of the freezing gale, in their wonder and awe. There they are more than two miles up in the air tugged by icy blasts a sheer droop of a mile only a few feet away with clouds scudding past far below, intermittently blotting out and revealing a wilderness of mountains and snow-capped peaks, endless forests, glaciers, rivers, and lakes. To the west is the great rolling Pacific Ocean. Then these pilgrims, feeling O, so insignificant, but yet somehow nobler, for they have seen and felt a little of that something that people call God, turn their backs and leave it all behind, until the next year when the snows start to melt and that Something calls them back again.

RICE. -0-- One Hundred Seventy-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 177 ---------- One Hundred Seventy-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 178 ---------- HANNEGAN PASS HIKE About sixty ,enthusiastic students climbed into stages in front of the Normal Dormitory one Friday afternoon 1ate last July. Three and one-half hours later we clambered down from our seats in a different world, yet only fifty miles from school. We were at Shuksan, rightly called by the road builders, Mosquito Camp. We snatched our luggage and fled up the trail to a mosquitoless camp. At a point half a mile up the trail a creek made a splendid cooking camp and there a hearty supper was prepared. We were entirely willing to eat everything in sight and looked interestedly at one fat packhorse, but Mr. Bond gasped and informed us that we had better leave a little for breakfast. Back in our blankets we slept on heaps of spongy moss and were up early next morning and on cur trail up to Hannegan Pass. The trail led through swamp, across creeks, through stretches -of silent firs, and beds of lilies shoulder high. All the while we heard the roar of the Ruth 'Creek, which the trail followed, and, to the south and west we could see waterfalls over a thousand feet in height. Farther on we crossed a wide expanse of snow which had slipped from the mountain above and had carried rocks and great trees 'with it,ti ll it had even dammed Ruth Creek. It was the first avalanche many of us had sleen and we stopped to fix the pictures of it in our memory. As we left the avalanche, some stopped to get an ice-cold drink from the creek flowing beneath the snow. The trail grew steeper and steeper on the hillside mountain flowers made their apearance; monkeyflowers, bluelips. and vellow deer-tongues; all helped to make the meadows a vast flower garden. We crossed a yellow meadow, passed through a belt of timber, and arrived at our destination. A little lake in the Pass had two outlets. One drained to the east into Chilliwack Lake and Canada, and the other to the west into Bellingham Bay, through the Nooksack River. Beyond Ruth Creek, Ruth M1Vountain towered 6,ooo feet above sea level southeast of us and we could see through a gap the jagged pile of shale and ice that is called Mount Shuksan. After dinner, we climbed Goat Mountain and saw our first ptarmigan. We spent an hour on top and returned to camp and supper. We loafed, sang, and told stories underneath a moon that looked as though we could touch it from the tall tree over the camp. The distant snowfields gleamed softly in the moonlight: the roar of snow- fed torrents came to our ears, while the fire snapped and smoked merrily and the cool fresh air finally persuaded us to rest. Before we stumbled to our blankets, Mr. Coughlin had us sing the Mountaineer Evening Song. One Hundred Seventy-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 179 ---------- Next morning, Ruth Mountain was climbed and when dinner time came it was a tired group that tried to eat everything in sight. Packhorses were then loaded and we started the ten-mile hike to Shuksan. The trail down seemed about half as long as the trail up, and we reached Mosquito Camp before seven o'clock, where we were joyfully welcomed by mosquitos and stage drivers. Eleven o'clock that night found us back at school hunting for hot water, soap and food. Our memories of the trip are linked with the thoughts of three teachers who made the trip not only possible but a success. There may be other hikes, but we who have been on trips such as Han-negan Pass, will always feel something missing. A place will be vacant in our hearts and by the campfire that no other can fill. We can only hope for those here this next summer as many happy and successful hikes as we can remember. -R. T.

History, they say, repeats itself, and in the case of the Philos, it is each year repeated more loudly. The club beg:an its twenty-third year with vim, each old member on the look-out for live prospective members. In almost any corner of the hall between classes, just such conversations as this ensued: "Who did you say? What can she do?" "Oh," came the reply, "She can sing, play the violin, and really her readings are wonderful." "All right,' 'was the response. "I'll put her name before the membership committee." As a result, the students admit-ted to the club that first quarter had abilities similar to the ones above men- tioned. Initiation was the first main event of the season and such weird intricacies as the candidates were forced to go through! However, they appeared at school the following day with the Philo brand on their foreheads and smiles on their faces, proud of the fact that they were Philos in spite of those lame muscles and sore joints. An event toward which all Philos looked forward was the Annual Birth-day party given at the home of Mr. 'and Mrs. Philippi in November. It re-sembled a "family reunion," for all the former members of the club who found it possible to attend, gathered around the fireplace of "Mother" and "Father" Philippi. Imprcmptu speeches were demanded, giving the old members an opportunity to relate their experiences since leaving school. According; to custom, the Philo Game was played throughout the evening. Some of our One Hundred Eighty Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 183 ---------- members are becoming expert at this game for it was only after a long, difficult fight that the honors were given finally to Marguerite Saddler, while Herbert Cederberg received the consolation prize. Another important social event took place at the Pheasant Tea Rooms, February 17, in the form of an Annual Banquet. The room was appropriately decorated in the Philo "Green and White." the color scheme being carried out in the place cards and favors. Herbert Cederberg, our capable president, acted as toastmaster and once more the old members were called upon to "give an account of themselves." The program was exceedingly educative as well as entertaining, especially to the ladies present, (both married and unmarried) for Mrs. Carver passed on that valuable information, "How to Cook and Keep a Husband." We well know that Mrs. Carver is especially qualified to discuss such a subject. There were several other interesting numbers on the program, after which the members, both new and old, were given an opportunity to get acquainted. All are looking forward with keen anticipation to next year's banquet. The last main event of the season will take place at Lake Whatcom in the form of a week-end party. This is to take place in the near future. The old members have pleasant memories of those good times last year and the new members have heard enough about them to be anxiously awaiting the eventful days to arrive. However, all has not been "play" for there is also a serious side to the club. Every two weeks on Thursday evening the club meets for literary and business purposes. These meetings are always educational and informational. Practice in parliamentary drill, debate, music and readings constitute the pro-grams and we are proud to say that we have real talent along these lines. Often the lives of such men as George Washington, Lincoln, Vachel Lindsey and others are studied. This year the club over- stepped its literary bounda-ries and accepted the Thespians' challenge to a game of basketball between the boys and girls of the two clubs. The Philo girls upheld the long end of the score, but the Thespian boys took home the laurels. The "calm after the storm" took place in the cafeteria and both clubs went home perfectly satis-fied because of the true sportsmanship shown. The Philos are proud to claim as members of their organization three young men, Maurice Thomas, Guy Bond and MNr. Rankin, who took prominent parts in helping to win the Inter-Normal Basketball championship for our school. One of its number, Bob Tunstall, made the debating team, and sev-eral of the girls made the Freshman and Sophomore basketball teams; in fact seven out of eleven on the Sophomore team were Philos. When we stop to think about it, there is not a single school activity with which some Philo is not connected. And now we must close another chapter of Philo life, but do not think we have finished. The Philos will never be finished for they are "alive"- Yesterday, Today, and-Forever ! One Hundred Eighty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 184 ---------- I I THESPIANS Dramatically speaking, the first event of the school year was the fall try-out. Who lives that does not quake at the thought of trying to impress solemn-faced judges with one's supposed talent. This is followed by the ordeal of waiting for the final decision and the nervous excitement of searching through the names given in the list of lucky ones. In the event that one is successful, one looks again, once, twice, three times, to be sure. Then with a sigh of relief and satisfaction one experiences the delight of being a Thes-pian once and for ,all. The fall initiation will be remembered by a large group of, at that time, scared though happy looking Thespians. As the details of said initiation are a deep, dark secret, we can just say that the banquet which followed closed a most thrilling and enjoyable evening. One Hundred Eighty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 185 ---------- Mr. Horace Rahskopf of the Expression Deparment, and sponsor of our club, lent his valuable time and assistance in our work this year. The following plays were preseinted : "The Great American Family," "The Dear Departed," "Miss Civilization," and "Riders to the Sea," the last mentioned being given also in assembly. The happiest event of the year was our banquet. February 22 has been made the permanent date for the Thespian Annual Banquet. This year it was held at the Pheasant Tea Rooms, and decorations suitable- for George Wash-ington's birthday anniversary, added much to the brightness and happiness of the occasion. Everyone left convinced that never had he enjoyed a more de-lightful evening. At the close of the spring quarter, the Thespian Dramatic club will present its annual public recital. As this book goes to press, the play has not yet been selected, but as it is to be a Thespian production, its quality is assured. We close with a toast-"To all Thespians-Past, Present, and Future." -o- One Hundred Eighty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 186 ---------- RURAL LIFE CLUB Those of us who have been fortunate eniougli to have our names listed among the members of the Rural Life Club feel that we have gained much which we could not have otherwise secured and which will be of lasting benefit in all organized activities, community and social affairs. Recognizing the fact that the world judges by results, the club has aimed to secure results not only in immediate pleasure but that will fulfill, as well, the remote aims incorporated in the constitution. 4 The regular meetings are devoted to programs consisting of music, plays, debate, readings, the discussion of problems of current importance, and of community singing. No member could ever forget our club songs and the old familiar "get acquainted" song after having participated in singing them. A portion of each program is devoted to parliamentary study, followed by the practice of the same. Parent Teachers' Associations have been organized and. meetings conducted with members serving as officers or patrons, and ques-tions which might arise in connection with such an organization discussed and answered. The social side has not been neglected. Many happy play-times have been enjoyed together, in the gymnasium, our regular club room and elsewhere. These activities consist of: October 31-Hallowe'en party in gymnasium. December 21-Christmas party in room 308. February 15-Valentine party in room 308. March ..-.A nnual Banquet, Pheasant Tea Room. May ......- Annual Picnic and farewell meeting. One Hundred Eighty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 187 ---------- The club has aimed to uphold the standards for which it was originally organized-chiefly the discussion of land participation in problems pertain-ing to rural and community life. These are social as well as intellectual. The membership is limited but well chosen. Each individual is an active member contributing in some way two or more times each quarter. The sponsors are: MISS KEELER MR. HECKMAN AMR. BROCKMAN MR. COUGHLIN (deceased) While this has been one of the happiest and most successful years of the club's history, it has also been the saddest. We mourn the loss of our beloved sponsor, Mr. John Vincent Coughlin, who answered the call of the Grim Reap-er in January. We cannot close the annals of the year without paying tribute to the man who was ever ready to advise, assist and lead in every good way; whose usefulness commanded unselfish service from others; whose cheerfulness begot cheerfulness, and whose devotion will ever be an inspiration to those who have been privileged to work with him. / -~ '.- One Hundred Eighty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 188 ---------- e I DRAMA CLUB OFF ICERS ROBERT CAULKINS ................... ........ ... ............. ........ President GERTRUDE MORGANTHALER .......................... Vice-President M AUDE W ITHERS ..................................... ................... Secretary VICTOR H. HOPPPE .....---------.............................. Director of Pla s The Drama Club of the B. S. N. S. was organized February 12, 1923, having as the faculty advisory board the following members: Mr. V. H. Hoppe, chairman; Mrs. Vaughan, and Mr. J. F. Caskey. The passing of the class play may at first seem regrettable. True, it is an old-time institution that has become dear to the students, but even things long cherished must give way to those which promise greater value for the time expended. In this case the aim is for more skilled action and a higher standard of production. During the year the dramatic department of the Normal has given con-siderable study to the problem of school plays, with the result that this club shall take over the productions formerly given by the various classes. The club will draw its membership from the entire student body, through the usual system of try-outs. These inter-club try-outs will be the means of determining the casts for the various plays to be presented. Each quarter, one main play of high standard will be produced. One Hundred Eighty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 189 ---------- Students desiring to make a special study along these lines will, if show-ing sufficient talent and aptitude, be able to do continuous and progressive work during their entire Normal training. Much of the best literature of today, as well as that of days past, comes to us in the form of the drama. It is vitally necessary that training of su-perior merit be carried on along these lines, so that student-actors may more faithfully interpret the messages which our present-day dramatists are cre-ating. The membership is limited to fifty students, and to secure an appointment to the club roll will be considered not only a position of high educational value, but also one of honor in the student body. -0- One Hundred Eighty- Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 190 ---------- -,a IE~ Y.

When school opened last fall she returned to graduate and was then elected president of the Y. W. C. A. Both her faithfulness and earnest-ness will be remembered by the many fortunate ones who have been in contact with her. During the summer quarter of 1922, the Y. W. C. A. was under the fadmnistration of Vivienne Gunderson. A great deal of credit should be given to her for the splendid work .which she dlid and the spirit of friendliness and co-operation which she always showed toward everyone. The Meeting's Committee has dlone excellent work in arranging the Thursday programs, in which we have heard a number of especially gifted speakers. Many are or have been missionaries in foreign lands and have gripped us with their stories of the power of Christianity. Among the most prominent speakers are Miss Heller, Y. W. C. A. Traveling Secretary; Mr. Hartlett, National Student Volunteer Secretary; Mrs. Powlison, recently in work in Smyrna; Miss Bergman, missicnary from Korea, and Mr. Davis, Secretary of South America Inland Mission. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle was again joyfully welcomed to inspire us with her messages and magnetic per-sonality. She was the speaker at the annual Bible Institute which was held January I Ith to the 14th, with six addresses. Nine Bible classes have been organized under the capable leadership, of Mrs. George McL. Miller, Miss Sperry, Miss Woodard, Mrs. Vaughan, Mrs. Gunderson, and Miss Keeler. The book of Genesis has been studied during the winter months. More than two hundred have been enrolled in the Bible classes with an average attendance of one hundred fifty. At the beginning of the school year, bouquets were given to the new girls with greetings from the Y. Wi. C. A. Narcissi were grown and taken to those who were ill. The girls have also met the trains and boats at the opening of each quarter. During the fall quarter a pleasing social event was given by the Y. V. C. A. girls to the faculty and the students of the Normal. This was held in the beautiful drawing room of Edens Hall, which was richly decorated for the occasion. At this same time a very enjoyable organ recital was given by Mrs. Mathes to which all girls of the school were invited. In the month of December, Dr. Mathes gave a most impressive lecture on his experiences in the World War. It was well 'worth hearing and many interesting as well as instructive facts will long be remembered. The Y. W. C. A. has been an inspiration for many girls to continue the work and many of the girls are in far away countries doing missionary work. Among those who have left from this Normal are: INDIA-Emma Rexroth. Abbie Johnson Smith, who died in 1920o. Mary Campbell.

One Hundred Ninety-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 193 ---------- STUDIO ART CLUB Sponsors: MISS MARIE CAREY DR.USE MISS MARGUERITE LANDIS MISS MIARJORIE JOHNSTON Tuesday Evening. My Dear, You have asked me what one thing during my year at Normal has given me greatest pleasure-let me tell you a story and see if you can guess. Last fall, when I was registering, I met a lady who wore a strange ring -it attracted me-not an ordinary signet ring, this, but a tiny gold palette. I did not know then, but imagine my happiness later when I learned that, not only Miss Druse, but I. too, could wear the gold palette. I had been voted into the Sudio Art Club. From that time on, the third floor of the North Wing was my rendezvous. For, you see, our club is of the opinion tha't work which affords pleasure is much better than merely aimless play. And so we spend two evenings each month in doing some kind of art work. First, we did landscapes-some in charcoal, some in pencil, others in water color and still more in cut paper. Really, my dear, I wish you could have come to our Mid-Winter Exhibit! It was well worth seeing ("if I do say it shouldn't," One Hundred Ninety-Three _ _1___ r~iiEl-_rul*ej~i~-~.a_ r* -~~p~-sasr 1 B~t~h~~ ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 194 ---------- I as old Mrs. Gray used to say). And the Spring Exhibit was even better-the student work from the whole department just more than filled all the rooms. And People! We certainly served 'tea to many those days. Not only did we work with our hands, but also with our minds. A study of artists and various phases of art was made by reports on reference reading each meeting. This work partly answered for the course in History and Appreciation of Art, which so many of us wanted, but could no't seem to wedge in between requirements. Did we work all the time? Believe me, no! You remember I told you about the midnight luncheon honoring the November graduates. And our wonderful banquet in the spring! And when I have lots of 'time I'll tell you about the funny stunts at January initiation. Perhaps you know some of the girls who were officers-at least you've heard of them: QUARTERS Presidcl t Vice Presidenit Secretary Treasurer Now, can you ments ?

S. N. S. have not failed to notice in their midst 'a group of radiant, happy, people who looked as if at any minute they might jump behind a sled, crack a whip, and call "mush" to a team of dogs as they started on a journey over the frozen winter trails of northern Alaska. Bonded together by a mutual love for the Northland these "old timers," early in the year, organized themselves into the exclusively Alaskan club known as the "Sourdoughs." Requirements for membership were made quite liberal, the only condition being that the candi-date must have set foot on Alaskan soil. Officers were elected as follows, these having retained their positions throughout the year: President-Floris Clark. Secretary-Frances Hillary Treasurer 'and Reporter--Norah Matson The aims of the club have been to stimulate interest in this northern territory, and incidentally to give the members a good time socially. We hope our fellow students and faculty members have pardoned us for the times we have lauded the merits of this land until our hearers wished that such a country had never existed. May we now th'ank them for their courteous attention? So much of erroneous material is seen concerning Alaska that we have labored diligently to correct false impressions. The first social event of the year was the banquet held at the Hotel Leopold on the Saturday preceding Hallowe'en. The table was tastefully One Hundred Ninety-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 196 ---------- decorated in colors of the season, handmade place cards adding the artistic finish. President and Mrs. Waldo were honor guests on this occasion. In the second quarter a party was held at the home of Mrs. Berkeley, which was enjoyed by a large number of the members. The third quarter brought an evening at Mr. Kolstad's cabin on Lake Whatcom. Good timne? Why, of course, always when we go there! Both faculty members and students are included in the membership as mlay lbe seen by the following list, the "real Alaskans" have been listed first: Mrs. Adele L. Bunting, Skagway. Floris M. Clark, Skagway. Imogene Benedict, Sitka Norah Mattson, Douglas. Mary Monagle, Juneau, Anchorage, H]ope. Marie Etta Marsden, Ketchikan. Mary Visoja, Douglas. Lil lian Lacey, Hunter Bay. Lillian G.

I wish scme of those people could have seen us "down there" this past year. The machines were kept humming by the girls in the sewing classes from eight until almost five every dlay. The result was, with the untiring ,and inspiring help of Miss Longley, some of those good-looking dresses and skirts you saw and admired in the halls. The girls of the cooking class must have believed the adage, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach," for the luncheons they l:repared and served would have tempted and satisfied any man- tempted him by their daintiness and satisfied him by their correct calorie content. One 1Hundred Ninety- Seven ____IU~~_ ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 198 ---------- If anyone thought we had time to write lesson plans during Dietetics, I. wish he could have seen us chasing those elusive enzymes, under the di-rection of Miss Countryman, and measuring hundred calorie portions and-but I mustn't give away all our secrets. Just take the course and see for yourself how fascinating it is-and how much time you have to waste! "From point B draw a line AC locating point M by- " The hour never seemed long enough in Pattern Drafting to accomplish all we planned to do. The paper blouses and dresses were even better than the patterns we could buy because, you see, we discovered we were not all perfect, and those pat-terns fitted us where we weren't, as well as where we were. How much more confident we felt this spring in selecting the materials for our spring dresses, , after our courses in Textiles! All those hours seemed repaid in a moment. As we look ahead and plan our homes, what a blessing our course in House-hold Management is to us. We've learned how to make dollars stretch and 1 expand by proper distribution; we've learned how to make those future homes attractive, economical, and sanitary. After all this, you shouldn't need further proof that we were busy "down there," but here is the crowning proof: We didn't have time for one party in either the fall or winter quarter. The wonderful spring weather proved too much for us, however, and we decided to have a party on Friday, the 13th. \What clay could be more auspicious! Of course, we had a good time-we always do. The party proved so much fun, we planned a picnic, which we had later in the spring. The food? Just 'ask anyone who was there if the girls of the Home Economics department can cook!

The Women's Athletic Association was organized in September, 1922. Its purpose is to promote high physical efficiency among women of the Normal School, to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics, to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship. Membership is open to all under-graduate women in the school who have obtained at least a "C" grade in all classes and have earned the required one hundred points. These points may be earned under four different heads: Sports, health, general, and athletics. A definite number of points must be earned each quarter in order to retain membership in the association and to keep up the interest. It is hoped that girls going out into their own schools will organize girls' athletic associations in high schools and the upper grades, having in view the same ideals and purposes as our own association with slight varia-tions in the constitutions to suit the needs of the girls in the community. The association plans to put on at least one good show each year. The first of these was given last February. The main feature was a minstrel show, with three lesser numbers. Judging from the size of the crowd and the remarks heard the following week, the show was a huge success. The Association has enjoyed many good times and since the fine weather began, long hikes with lunch in the open. Several hikes were taken during the fall, one of these was a hike to Lake Padden followed by a breakfast of ham, eggs, fruit, and coffee, then a hike back in time for church. The Association is as yet in its infancy with a membership of about thirty. It has already many extensive plans for the future and entertains hopes of becoming one of the foremost clubs of the school. Three cheers for Miss Long, our organizer and sponsor! No club ever had a more worthy or helpful leader than she has proved herself to be at all times. She holds a very warm place in the heart of every W. A. A. girl.

This club is sponsored by Mr. Carver, our athletic director and coach. To become a member of this club, it is neessary for the men engaged in athletics to gain a letter in one of the following competitive sports: Football, track, basketball, and baseball. The purpose of the Club is to develop a higher standard of athletics and to increase the academic efficiency of the athlete. Mr. Carver and those young men who have, during the past year, attained high standards in athletics, and who are interested in the continuation of these standards, have felt it advisable and necessary to organize a club wherein they could work with these ideas. This organization will do much to attract that type of men who are most desirable in the carrying out of the educational work of our land. No doubt it will also help to popularize (our school and make it one among the leading Teachers' Colleges of America.

Among the most prominent was the banquet which welcomed our president, Mir. D). B. Waldo to our institution. We were fortunate in having at that banquet a few notable guests, among whom were Dr. G. W\. Nash, our former president; Commander and Chaplin Broadman, of the U. S. S. New York; Lieutenant Commander Dwyer of the Australian Navy, and Reverend Fr. Barrett, .pastor of the Assumption Church, Bellingham. The club looks forward every year to the entertaining of the St. Martin's boys who compete with our teams in various forms of athletics. A banquet was given in honor of both the basketball teams at the Pheasant. We may also mention the Hallowe'en Dancing Party, the supper at Fairhaven Park, and several hikes which can be added to our social calendar. So far, only the pleasant side has come to view, but we, as members of q the Newman Club (this may well apply to our whole school) have keenly felt the loss through the death of our honorary member, Mr. J. V. Coughlin, who took such a great interest in our club and its activities. Many plans are being made for the coming months, among which are week-end parties, hikes, beach suppers and the like. Everyone of us greatly appreciates the privilege of being brought closer together in such a social way.

As sometimes happens at Normal, no old members had returned at the beginning of the year to take up the club activities. From the Story Telling class came a few girls who formed the new Story Telling Club. The club thrived and grew; a new name "Leowyrhta" was given to it; and a new constitution was adopted. Under the sponsorship of Miss Sperry, Miss Montgomery and Miss Ja-cobs, who conscientiously directed the club movements, the society has become recognized as a prominent organization of the Normal. The aim of our club, which is primarily to tell stories, has been well car-ried out in this year's work. Talented members have been sent to neighboring juvenile libraries, to P. T. A. meetings, school functions and similar places -much to the delight of the various audiences. At times the club extension department has shown near-panics by the many calls coming in for the de-lightful entertainers. The club meetings were made especially interesting to the members by programs comprised of types of stories and given by different groups. Music and dancing were included in some of the programs. It is very obvious that the Leowyrhta will prosper and develope as it has in the past year and for this we shall also have to thank our club officers who are: M RS.

When we first arrived and were conducted up the stairs, and down the corrido'rs to a room with two "vanishing" beds, we were rather meek and quiet, but by the end of the first week we were less quiet, and 'at the end of the second we were sufficiently acquainted to have crowds gathering in one room or in the Lobby, and here they still gather. It is to be feared that there is too much noise at times ncw, but who can live without having a hilarious time occasionally? There have been many social affairs in the hall, among them the Hal-lowe'en party with confetti "'n everything." Perhaps the most be :utiful party was the colonial costume 1party, when the birthdays of three famous people were-George Washington's, Miss Meek's, and Miss Shuey's. W\V are looking forward to a boat trip dlown Lake Whatcom just I:efore the end of the quarter, and we will also enjoy many more hikes. Many lasting friendships have been made, and many characters have been broadened by life in Edens Hall.

Shadows of witches and ghosts flitted across the indistinct walls. An atmosphere of mysterious exaltation was created by those who had just survived the preternatural secrecies of the ini-tiation. Suddenly the room became lighted, changing it into the golden glow of Hallowe'en merriment. The president, Edna Carnine, gave her address welcoming the new Aletheian members-and cur activities for the year had begun. Silently the wisdom of our old, old owl has led us, step by step, into the realms of lofty ideals and high ambitions. Aletheia has always stood for all that is great in every art, and our sympathy and appreciation extends to every corner of the globe. Many of the programs have consisted of the thor- . ough study of some vital problems confronting America today, such as the Negro problem, by Gladys Sturman; America's Stand on World Peace, by Agnes Miles; and Americanization, by Rebecca Arnell. Other countries have been included on our programs, such as the Political Situation in Ireland, by Vivienne Croxfo'rd; Armenia's Political History, by Betty Lyman; Mussoline, the Leader of the Fascisti, by Emma Larson ; Miss Longley's talk on Hawaii, and the Problem of the Turks, by Sylvia Barret. The arts have not been neglected. Programs have included a study of Opera, Turkish Rugs, and the Little Theatre Movement. The observations of the constellations on clear nights has been another fascinating study. One of the biggest events of the club this year was the annual banquet held February 24, at the Leopold Hotel. The floral decorations of pink and white tulips hamonized beautifully with the rose and gray motif of the table. Sparkling wit and humor predominated, as each merry toast was given. The - extreme simplicity and sincerity of Miss Woodard's address on the Function of Woman's Clubs, will linger long in the memories of those present. Aletheia wishes to express her deep gratitude for the patient and endless devotion Miss Woodard has shown to the club. Aletheia has the honor of having in her midst many of the Normal's prominent women. The club is proud to claim Rebecca ,Arnell as one of its members. Both the club and the school are very much indebted to her for the important part she played in winning for us the never-to-be-lost Allison cup. She is also a member of the Board of Control, and vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. Two other members of Aletheia have served as presidents of the Y. W. C. A. this year-Vivienne Croxford and Ruth Pederson. Mention should be made of the play that Margaret Risser wrote for us during Good English week. The play was very successfully presented in the auditorium, and did much for the promotion of good English. Mildred Stout, of the debate team, is another faithful, loyal Aletheian. That the members of Aletheia are versa-tile in their talents is shown by the fact that Edith Parks carried off the prize for the Klipsun cover design. Aletheia as a whole will ever cherish, not only now, but in years to come, the thoughtfulness of Magdalene Larsen in presenting to the club, the Aleth-eian Owl, our symbol of Life, Purity and Truth.

In the moon, when all things, lyausing Turn for one last look at sulmmer, When the smoke from burning forests Veils in blue the hills and ocean, To the Great Lodge by the water Came a little band of maidens Of the tribe of Ohiyesa. Far away their 1paths had led them Through the long hot days of summer, But the ties had not been severed Which had bound their hearts together. Scarcely were their greetings finished When they met in solemn council, In the lodge of their wise leader, Sponser from the tribe of Wallace. Long they sat in talk together, For a new chief must be chosen, And new members must be welcomed With all rites and ceremonies. Each must prove both brave and loyal E'er she wore the eagle's feather, E'er she could be called "The Winner." Many times the maids assembled, In the cold, still nights of winter; Miany councils held together, Gaining every night new knowledge, Strengthening bonds of love and friendship. Many things they. learned together Of the lands across the ocean, Of strange languages and peoples, And the records they had written. Now were added to their number Two called Honorary Members, Helpful friends and kindly critics, One from out the tribe of Osborne One from out the tribe of Roberts, And the evenings round the campfire Were the brighter for their presence. Two Hundred Nine I - ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 210 ---------- When the moon of lighted candles Stcle across the snowy campus, All the maidens, happy-hearted Gathered 'round a shining fir-tree. On whose tinsel-laden branches Found they gifts for one another. And each tssue-covered package Caused a merrier peal of laughter. Later, when the pussy willows Showed their silver tips on Sehome, Once again the maidens gathered, This time 'neath the Osborne totem, Where with gayety and laughter Passed another happy evening. Green were leaf-buds on the hillside When to all the elder members Were sent summons to a council, The Grand Council, held each twelve moons. Some of them obeyed the summons, Others messages of greeting Sent, to show they still were loyal, Show their hearts were ever faithful, And around the council embers One by one they were remembered, While the singers made sweet music And the wise ones told last glories Of the tribe, and future triumphs. Each one felt a strain of sadness At the thought of bonds soon broken, At the thought of friends departing, But the long trail of the future Shows the lodge each year grown stronger, Shows unsevered ties of friendship; And each year shall bind more closely In the pledge, "Be Brave, be loyal," All who wear the eagles' feather. All the tribe of Ohiyesa. Two HIundred Ten I ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 211 ---------- BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE The Business Girls' League was organized by Miss Exean Woodard, Dean of Women, in 1916. The League has no officers and no dues. It is merely a group of young women employed in some form of remunerative labor who meet in open forum from time to time and discuss problems of mutual interest. At one of the most successful mee'tings of the current year, the Business Girl's budget was discussed as follows: How should a Business Girl in B. S. N. S. invest her spending money, spring quarter : a. If she has only $25.00 (above room and board). b. If she has only $50.oo. c. If she has less than $25.00. The topic of another interesting program was "How shall a Business Girl invest her 24 hours per day ?" Two H-lundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 212 ---------- This ambitious group of young women turns to varied and interesting forms of employment in order to help defray expenses.

Holding down two jobs at once requires an accurate time .budget as well as expense budget, therefore, one of the chief problems of the League * is to, provide opportunities for 'the cultivation of friendships and the promotion of wholesome recreation. For five years the annual League Banquet has outranked all other stu-dent banquets in point of numbers. The fifth annual banquet was held March 24th in the Home Economics Dining Room with 70 Leaguers in attendance. Ellen Gustafson, one of the members, acting as cateress, displayed remarkable skill in the art of cookery. Miss Catherine Smith, as chairman of the decorating committee, carried out the Easter motif in place cards, table decorations and window draperies. The color scheme of yellow and white, and an interesting centerpiece repre-senting a large easter egg, drawn by fluffy yellow chicks, added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The name of the native state being given in response to roll call, the interesting fact was discovered that the business girls represent many states of the union, sa well as foreign countries. From as far south as Maryland and Tennessee; as far east as Michigan and Ohio; from the plains of Minne-sota and the Dakotas, from California, Canada and Alaska they come. Two from Sweden, two from Norway, three from Canada, two from England and five from Alaska, the Business Girls have come to the Northwest either to make their homes or to receive training for the profession of teaching.

Overcomers are the Business Girls. -0- A SONG OF LIFE At dawning, when the sun blinks through the doorway And nestles in the corners of your room You feel a sense of thrill-a note of laughter That banishes all thought of care and gloom. You hear a robin on your window-ledge a-chirping, ,A child's glad echo wafted up from streets below, A silver maple blowing in the wind-hush, And waters made with waves of crested snow. In every nook, Dame Nature heralds gladness, While glints of sunshine conquer weary strife, Until 'we learn to weave our dreams of efforts, And make a smile our daily song of Life. -ADALINE LA ROUCHE. Two Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 214 ---------- I I YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS The first group of Young Housekeepcrs of the Bellingham State Normal School were called together in 1916 by Miss VWoodard, Dean of Women. This group is largely made up of young women who live so near Bellingham that they are enabled to spend many week ends in their own homes. Realizing. that lbecause of this, these students missed many of the social functions and other activities of school life, Miss \Voodard gathered this group together to promote friendship and sociability, to discuss problems peculiar to the group, and, in general, to strengthen the bond between the school and this relatively large group of the student body: Of necessity, the meetings cannot be frequent, but they are marked with earnestness and keen interest. Two Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 215 ---------- At the beginning of the year, at one program the topic discussed in open forum was "-ow to Secure a Well Balanced Meal" emphasizing the value of variety in foods, and naming simple, wholesome dishes that provide the necessary elements. Each little "family" was provided with a chart setting forth: Ist, the proper selection of foods; 2nd, the amount of calories required; 3rd, a comprehensive list of foods with caloric values, and the relative expense. The great event of the year was the mid-winter picnic to which each of the 75 Young Housekeepers responded to roll call by giving the name of her birthplace.

Edna Anderson, a member of the Girls' Quartette, Zetta Squire, cellist, and Rosa Addington, reader, have furnished entertain-ment to many civic organizations in this jity and elsewhere. Edith Parks, another Young Housekeetper, won the Klipsun prize for the best cover design. Mildred Anderson and Christina Peterson helped to make this a banner year in (lelbate for the B. S. N. S. Two lm11111red Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 216 ---------- I I THE ALKISIAHS The following paragraph is an extract from the first Messenger ever published (1899) on file in the library: "A telephone conversation between two Normal students: " 'Main 161, please.' " 'Hello, Edith-So you want to know about our Literary So-ciety, the Alcott? Of course, I will tell you the officers-Miss Carrie Risedorph, president; Miss Marie Ames, vice-president; Miss Bertha Kale, secretary; Miss Mamie Barr, treasurer." " 'What did you say?' " " 'Yes, our society is sure to have its place in the front ranks of the Whatcom Normal School.' " The club has changed its name since that far away time, as has the school, but the aims of the Alcott continue in the Alkisiah Club. Two Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 217 ---------- Practice in public speaking, opportunity to keep in touch with public events, and experience in altruistic club work are offered all our members. Due to the faithfulness of our efficient officers, and especially to the loving service of our sponsor, Miss Moffat, who gave so willingly of her time and assistance, we have enjoyed a most profitable year. At one of our most interesting meetings, Miss Alice Longley, who teaches classes of the foreign born, spoke to us upon "What is Being Done to Eradicate Illiteracy in Bellingham." This is one of the topics being taken up by the Federation of Women's Clubs this year. The study of this subject wil lbe of service to those who participated in it, when they meet the problem in their own communities and schools. Some of our programs have been devoted to the lives and works of well-known poets. One enjoyable program dealt with prominent persons in present-day affairs. Musical selections and readings have lent variety to many of our meetings. The club, in connection with the Home Economics department, sponsored the Home Products Week in the cafeteria. The sale of Christmas seals in the Normal was carried on by the Alki-siahs as a part of their Federation work. Some improvement each quarter has been made in the Alkisiah room at the infirmary. Our chief undertaking this year has been the beginning of a fund for building the Alkisiah lodge at Normalstad. Varied are the ways in which the fund has grown. The sale of sandwiches, ice cream bars, and popcorn balls during recreation hour, at basketball games, and at Edens Hall on Saturday mornings has proved profitable and popular. That the social side has not been neglected, those who attended the de-lightful Thanksgiving meeting at the home of Mrs. Van De Wetering, and the pleasant evenings at the homes of Miss Moffatt, Miss Forest, and Evelyn Moussou, will bear witness. The initiation, which took place in the first quarter, was a hilarious affair, enjoyed by even the victims. Much latent talent for impromptu speaking was discovered among the members. Our annual banquet held at the Leopold Hotel on February 27, was un- usually successful. The decorations and favors carried out the club colors of purple and gold in a pleasing fashion. Many former members from a distance were with us, and their account of other days of work and frolic, was one of the features of the program. Our faculty members by their presence and words of encouragement, helped to make it a memorable occasion.

The play under. study by the Dramatic club and which is to be given at the annual June commencement is "Miss Lulu Bett" by Miss Zona Gale. The artificiality of the stage has become such a fixed institution that to attempt reality and so depict life genuinely is a daring and clever thing to do. It is for this that Miss Gale was awarded the Pulitzer Prize by Columbia Uni-versity. The popularity of the play and the enormous sale of the book attest its value. What Sinclair Lewis in "Main Street" did for the American small town, Zona Gale has done in this play for the humdrum American family. It is as if the merciless camer!a snapped life at its unposed moments and we see before us a typical suburban hiome living its every day life just as you and I see it about us daily. Dwight Herbert Deacon, the elf-acclaimed maintainer of the home, is a man made in his own image. His suave remarks land banality get him no-where save in his own estimation and in that of his ever fawning, aping, and inefficient wife, Ina Deacon. The stage has always pictured children as lovable little darlings, and we gasp as Monona Deacon, the youngest offspring of this pair, in deliberate plot-tings and petulency establishes her reputation, "the world's most disagreeable stage child." The strange part is we gasp but once, then embrace, then love, this spiteful, nosey little chit. Why? Are we too of this family? Possibly we are beginning to read beyond mere words and to see her play as Miss Gale would have us see, it. To complete the trio, we have Grandma Bett, equally keen of wit as of tongue, who sees even further than we do into the heart of this high priest of egotism, Dwight Deacon. In the midst of this Miss Lulu Betts slaves-awiakes-moves on. The play is styled a comedy of manners. Tears are closely akin to laughter and Miss Gale in one master stroke succeeds in creating a unique realism permeated with tenderness and sympathy. The cast of the play gas it will be presented in the Normal auditorium May 29, 1923, is as follows: MISS MIRIAM SHERMAN ....................---............ ...M..o nona Deacon DEWEY BOWMAN ........................................

The Clef Club consists of twenty-four selected voices. The club has favored the students in various assembly programs, and has given several numbers at Commencement exercises, all of which were greatly enjoyed. The club also gave an evening's entertainment over the radiophone. The Spring Opera, a delightful evening of music, concluded the work for the year. With the able assistance of Miss Belton, the Clef Club is successfully carrying out its aim of setting a higher standard for music in our school.

Mr. Raymond, a local teacher, made a call and the response was splendid. How little we realized that the shouting quarterback on the football team and the rooters on the side lines could put their vocal cords to another, and more euphonious use. We are expecting something very good in the near future from this group. In fact, we are assured of this with Mr. Raymond in charge.

The entertainments g:iven by the orchestra were not confined to assemblies, but extended as far as the Rotary Club, Teachers' Institute, Radiophone, and the two high schools. The Orchestra has mastered some very difficult numbers, as well as the lighter popular kind. We owe a great deal to Mr. Williams, whose service in the Music De- partment of the school cannot be given too much praise. CHORAL CLUB. With the opening of school this fall the reorganization of the Choral Club found a membership of nearly a hundred mixed voices. The club meets once a week and is working up a big production to be given sometime in the next quarter. This club is also under the directorship of Miss Belton, who is a great inspiration to the workers.

SAM S. FORD, OF ALASKA FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR HERO! Word has been re-ceived here by friends that S. S. Ford, Litt. D., Ph.D., Y. W. C. A., graduate of the Teachers' College at Bellingham, and Unique Professor of Metaphysics and Higher Electricity in all Alaska, has saved the life of Uug Klopj, a native of Gluugav. The details to be in-ferred are that Dr. Ford and Uug Klopj were walking along a trestle. Uug Klopj fell through into the water below. Dr. Ford plunged into the tide to save the lad. The waves produced by Dr. Ford's violent contact with the water washed Uug Klopj inshore a dis-tance of three hundred feet, to a point nine feet above the ordinary level of the river. Cognizant of Dr. Ford's heroism, the authorities of the Teachers' College at Bellingham will confer upon him the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The letter also told of Dr. Ford's reading a dis-sertation before a Spoof-um Society entitled "The Ethical and Material Value of Soft Soap as a Conductor of Electri-city."

FIRE ! Catastrophe on The !Hill Amid the screams of sweethearts and the hissing of the streams of water as they were played upon the roaring flames several thousand students watched the south wing of the boys' dormitory become en- gulfed in flames. It so happened that the young men had piled scores of mattress-es below the window of room 613 to insure a way of escape should the Dean happen in on their poker game. At 3:05 a. m. a board squeaked in the hall. One of the boys happened to be puffing on a cubeb, which he promptly threw out of the window. In no time the mattresses were roaring vigorously. Then the door opened. The Dean looked in. The boys ran to the window and jumped to the con-clusion that they were gone. The firemen, hav-ing been summoned by Mr. Kibbe, who had seen the blaze while correct-ing papers, already had seven lines of hose in action. Owing to the bravery of Fire Chief Carl Trigg-vi the building was saved. Fireman Lowman was severely burned about the wrists and will be unable to talk for several weeks. Miss Beryl Wilson fainted. Mr. O. Hoggatt, with the other men, was caught. - B.S.N.S.- Service ! Dear Mr. Editor: Why, may I ask, can-not the elevators be on time? It is the same thing, day after day. We're late, always late. Do you know that I was late to two classes yes-terday? And why? May I ask you, why? For the simple and insig-nificant reason that the elevator boy tried to kiss one of OUR stu-dents who was chewing gum and for this reason his mouth got stuck so that he couldn't call off the floors. How did I know where I was? Oh, it is terrible to think that such a con-dition exists in this, our Washington State Teach-ers' College. Can't we at least have the privilege of being punctual? I hope, Mr. Editor, that you will bring the necessary pressure to bear upon the elevator boy, thru your paper, so that I may be spared the grief of being tardy.

It was a glorious cele-bration. Covers were laid for 75. The table was a daintily decorated with the club colors, orange and black. Roast wild duck was the 'main at-traction as they were procured by Mr. Rahs-kopf. Miss Helen Goke, an alumnus of 1923,spilled a cup of coffee on the new tablecloth. Dr. Fay Jenkins gave an interesting after-din-ner speech entitled "The Love Scenes of Tomor-row." Mr. Benson was called upon. Much to the as- tonishment of those pres-ent, he announced his en-gagement to Miss Sloane ((Cont. on Page 14) FUNDS RAISED FOR LIBRARY Legislators Loosen Up.

Causes Riot. Our veteran librarian, Mabel Zoe Wilson, was invited by Speaker Biles to address the Senate. She promptly made mon-keys out of the opposing factions to the extent that the Sargent-at-Arms Rice was instructed to play a fire hose upon the unreasonable legislators. In the course of her remarks, Miss Wilson stated that the old building erected in 1929 is entirely and absolute-ly inadequate, that the upholstery is coming off the chaise-longues in the reading room, and, that the book shelves had had to be placed as close together as four feet. She said further that if the money were not ap-propriated within ten minutes she would have a filibuster started on the Haeske Anti-Flirting Bill. Vote Implored. Owing to the reputa-tion of Miss Myers, the leader of the faction op-posing Mr. Haeske's bill, the solons howled that the vote be taken. Crowd Goes Wild. After the vote was taken and the result made known the cheer-ing throng milled for an hour and thirty-five min-utes. Miss Wilson was carried out over the heads of the enthusiasts.

The program of social events for the past year, including teas, mixers, and the dance given by the girls living eutside the dormitory, is in itself evi-dence of her interest. Her greatest undertaking, perhaps, was the organization of the Women's League, an association long needed by the women of the school. ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 14 ---------- OLIVE EDENS H. E. FOWLER M. BELLE SPERRY HORACE G. RAHSKOPF ANNETTE H. VAUCHAN VICTOR H. HOPPE English and Oral Expression Twenty-five courses in composition, short story novel, poetry, drama, and essay, including literature both American and English, are offered in various quar-ters of the school year. Composition and Methods are required, but hundreds of students each quarter elect other courses in the department. Many teachers, feeling the need of a cultural background and breadth of vision, specialize in English work. The Expression department included in the English work offers twelve courses in vocal training and dramatic interpretations. People especially interested in dramatics or debate find this department very helpful and interesting. The in-structors in both dramatics and debate are admirably fitted for their work and are a source of inspiration to their students. Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 15 ---------- IJ.11.fi.N D. BISSELL JOHN RRNAL M. W. HECKMAN LINDA COUNTRYMAN GERTRUDE LONGLEY Industrial Arts This department stresses a high degree of technical skill in woodwork and drawing. The following subjects are taught: Elementary Woodwork, Advanced Woodwork and Cabinent Making, Wood Turning, Wood Finishing, Organization and Administration of Industrial Education, Advanced Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drawing, Freehand, Perspective and Practice Teaching in the Training School. Every year many well-trained teachers are sent out. An extensive study is made of courses and equipments to be used in grade and high schools, for the best advancement of industrial work in the schools. .-- o- -- Home Economics The Home Economics Department is primarily planned for those who wish to teach Home Economics, but many courses are open as electives to other students in the school. Eight of the thirteen courses offered here are required for those who are special-izing in this department, including three methods courses. Advanced Cookery and Table Service is valuable to every girl. In this course the students actually prepare and serve luncheons, dinners, and teas, managing them and computing the costs. In the Dressmaking and Millinery courses the girls not only make pretty dresses and hats, but they also study correct dress, color harmony and combinations of materials. Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 16 ---------- MAEEL ZOE WILSON MARGARET ZURBRICK LILLIAN M. GEORGE MARY ELLEN RINGER Library The Library of the Bellingham State Normal is rated as one of the best in the Northwest. This is largely due to the work of the librarian who for many years has been collecting the best works in every subject for our library. The aim of the librarian has been to have such books as are adequate to meet the needs, aims, and interests of a teacher-training institution. Because teachers must have o;her knowledge in addition to professional knowledge, the library has devoted a large part of its twenty-eight thousand volumes and five thousand pam-phlets to history, art, literature, science, sociology, and other subjects. There are one hundred fifty magazines in the periodical rooms. These maga-zines have been carefully chosen to keep the students in close touch with contem-porary thought and action. The juvenile library is a training laboratory where students learn regular li-brary work. This library contains three thousand volumes of carefully chosen books for children. It is well patronized by the training school pupils. The fundamental aim of the librarian is to get these books into the hands of the students. No limit is placed on the number of books each student may take. One quarter of Library Instruction is required of first-year students so they can use the library intelligently. The aims of this course have been to teach students methods in libraries, the use of books, magazines, management of school 'libraries, and the choosing of good literature for children. The library is one of the main tools by which a teacher can become efficient. Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 17 ---------- MARIE CAREY DRUSE MRS. M. LANDIS STUART HAZEL PREAKEY MARIORIE D. JOHNSTON Art and Handicraft Department Here the aim is nothing less than the awakening of higher aspirations through the development of appreciation and enlarged observation of beauty in nature and art; also the cutivation of better possibilities of usefulness to others by an artistic use of the materials at hand. During the mid- year exhibit, visiting students took notes on the many useful devices that were displayed in four rooms where work suitable for pupils of all ages could be found; pretty little cutouts for the tiny tot; something for the boy; things too numerous to mention for the older pupils. Many a grown-up looked wistfully at the various shaped baskets with touches of color, *woven bags and runners, draperies, decorative designs and many other charming accessories for the home. Most worthy of mention was the exhibit in March when work done by the Studio Art Club predominated. Easels and screens were draped with the depart- ment's most colorful draperies, batik and textiles of various weaves as a background for the creations in water color, charcoal, crayon and pastel. Cunning baskets ap-peared in many places; bright-bordered table-runners found appropriate places, and at a well-appointed table, tea was poured and served by members of the Art Club. It is from this department that the student teacher will go into some remote community with clever hands and an appreciation of beauty, and will recognize in children the possibility to develop mind and soul by awakening his aesthetic powers, or bring happiness to those who are passing with senses closed to nature's loveliness. Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 18 ---------- iL. r . LOmn JOHN r. CASKEY W. J. RICE MAY G. LOVEGREN GEORGIA POWELL GRAGG Department of Mathematics and Business Education Under the direction of Mr. Bond, various courses in mathematics are offered, which include everything from Review Arithmetic to Elementary and Advanced Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. Classes in History of Arithmetic and Phil-osophy of Arithmetic as well as methods for intermediate and grammar grades are given. The success of those trained in the business department is largely due to the fact that the instructors take the natural ability, initiative, and power of the student and develop these to the highest point of efficiency. The courses offered are Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Business English, Typing, Business Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Spelling, and Penmanship. A student wishing to have Shorthand count toward graduation must complete at least eight hours of work in that subject. The student who presents Bookkeeping or Typing in fulfillment of the Group Elective must complete at least eight hours of work in the subject, but either may count toward graduation as a free elective of four hours. This department is equipped with a Burroughs adding and listing machine, the Monroe calculating machine, which is wonderful in scope and simplicity of operation, and an A. B. Dick duplicating machine. Special instruction in the use of these machines will be given to any who wish to fit themselves for the special lines of work in which they are used. Mrs. May Lovegren handles the extension work in addition to her duties in this department. Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 19 ---------- IRVING E. MILLER, Ph. D. DELIA L. KEELER L. A. KIILE FRANK S. SALISBURY WILLIAM J. MARQUIS The Education Department The Education Department, which is really the nucleus of a Normal school, covers the following fields: Psychology, Child Study, Observation and Methods, Rural Education, School Law and School Management, Principles and History of Education, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, and School Administra-tion. In these various lines about thirty different courses a year are given, dis-tributed through the four years of the college course. During the four quarters, about four thousand students are enrolled in classes in this department. The ideals of the department call for highly trained teachers, specialization of instruction, and sharp focusing of the work on the problem of teacher training. Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 20 ---------- MRS. L. A. GAUL ANNA ULLIN Foreign Language At present French and Spanish are stressed in the Foreign Language depart-ment, though Latin and German are sometimes given. A variety of courses are offered, so that both beginning students and advanced students may find work every quarter along this line. For beginners, Elementary French and Spanish are given. The direct method is used, in which pronunciation and idioms are particularly noticed. Advanced classes in composition, grammar, and literature, as well as special courses in pho-netics are offered. Special methods classes are given for those who expect to teach language in Junior High school. Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 21 ---------- JESSIE AMES BELTON HARRISON RAYMOND JOHN ROY WILLIAMS ETHEL GARDNER Music The Department of Music offers instruction in piano, stringed instruments, and voice training besides the courses in the method of public school music. As prerequisites to these latter subjects, sight singing and fundamentals of music are given. Students have also been able to take electives in History of Music, Har-mony, Conducting, and Appreciation. Besides the music that is taught in all grades in the training school, the Girls' Clef Club of the Training School has been organized. Both Normal and training school orchestras have proved successful and are great favorites at assemblies. Among the musical activities are the Clef Club, which has for its membership twenty-four selected women; the Men's Glee Club, also of selected membership; and a Normal Quartet, composed of women, and a Double Male Quartet. Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 22 ---------- JAMES M. BEVER NORA B. CUMMINGS NORMAN P. LAWSON THOS. F. HUNT History and Social Science This department covers a wide range of knowledge which up-to-the-minute teachers must know if they would b° community leaders. Instructors in these sub-jects teach that all subjects should be presented in relation to their bearing upon the problems of today. The history courses embrace all phases of European and American history, in-cluding the World War period. Courses in history method are offered each quarter, covering important points in presentation. In social science, courses are offered in principles of sociology, rural sociology, social problems, economics, community civics, comparative government, commercial and political geography. Interesting courses for electives are offered from time to time: as, Northwest History, Geography of Asia, and Reconstruction of Europe. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 23 ---------- HI-.

HEADRICK Science and Physical Education The Science department has four well-equipped laboratories affording excel-lent facilities for teaching of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Hygiene, Nature Study, and Agriculture. It has a three and one-half inch astronomical tele-scope, which is used in courses in Introduction to Science and Nature Study. This department aims to give direct preparation for the teaching of Hygiene, Agriculture, Nature Study, and Elementary General Science in the elementary schools and high schools of the state. It also serves to enrich the scientific background of a student. The Physical Education department, with Miss Long as head for girls and Mr. Carver for boys, aims to give methods in teaching athletics as well as to training the students themselves. Courses offered in this department include such methods courses as Coaching, Plays and Games, Marching Tactics, and Schoolroom Gymnastics. Elementary and Advanced Folk Dancing are given, as well as Aesthetic Dancing. Swimming is now required of all girls, making a total of four hours' gym work required for grad- uation. Practice Teaching may be given in this department to those who are special-izing in Physical Education. Students are given health examinations upon entrance and secure the services of a nurse and physician throughout the year. Closely allied to this department are the two athletic clubs of the school, the "W" club for men and the W. A. A. for women. Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page [24] ---------- a Kyoto 1017 arY i~ : , ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 25 ---------- Training School While many think that the whole purpose of the Training School is the practice afforded student teachers, it has another aim also. This is the education of the pupils in the school for citizenship in the social situations which they encounter in school and later life. The work carried on in this department is intended to be along those lines which will best fit both teachers and pupils to meet situations as they find them in life and to make the proper response. The aim is not to cover just so many pages in a text book, but to provide experiences for the student which will have a real value in his later life. Among the activities connected with the Training School are the orchestra, a girl's glee club, a health club and athletic teams. These and others of a similar nature afford the best possible teaching in co-operation and good citizenship. The student teacher receives practical training in the schoolroom and learns how to handle many of the situations which arise in the work. As soon as the training teachers consider that the student teacher is capable of handling the daily routine, they leave the responsibility upon her, so that she develops initiative and confidence in her own ability. The training teachers are always ready and anxious to help solve any of the difficulties which may arise. The aim of both training teachers and student teachers is to instruct in such a way as to develop the initiative and resourcefulness of the pupils to the highest possible degree.

If their regular duties do not keep them busy, and often when they do, students and faculty alike enter the office and ask for varied bits of information. The appointment office is always busy placing graduates in positions. This work demands a great deal of time and labor. Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 27 ---------- Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 28 ---------- Third and Fourth Year Class This is the second year that the Third and Fourth year classes have had any organization of any kind. Up to the year beginning in 1922 no attempt at organiza-tion had been made, because there were practically no students here who had done more than two years' work above the high school. However, there has been some agitation in the direction of making this institution a normal college, and to this end the upper classes have been organized under the name of the Senior College Group. In the fall quarter Chester Hume was elected president of the group. With the able guidance of the sponsor, Doctor Miller, and the willing support of his committees, in Mr. Hume's administration plans for future work of the class were made, and, as far as possible, were carried out. During the fall and winter quarters the class gained in membership and in prestige, and in the spring quarter there were about forty-five members in the group. The class is represented in practically every phase of the life of the school, and all its members are a credit to the institution. Although small in numbers, the enthusiasm and ambition of the class are boundless, and their plans and achievements worthy of praise. It is the hope of the Senior College Group that this Normal School will soon include in its curriculum subjects which will entitle it to be ranked along with the other colleges of the Northwest.

EDGAR HANNAH Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 31 ---------- Sophomore Class It was the opening day of the fall quarter, and students were to be seen in all parts of the halls, hurriedly rushing hither and thither; some with blank cards, some with books, many with bewildered expressions on wondering countenances. Yet here and there were individuals, singly or in groups, who were conspicuous by their apparent self-confidence, by their calm, direct bearing. Their firm step, their business-like manner was distinctive. All in all it was an attitude which unmistakably revealed their identity-Sophomores. Diversions at the beginning of a school year are many and varied. Yet the business-like attitude of the Sophomores soon asserted itself and on October 18 they assembled in the auditorium to form a class organization. John O'Rourke, past president, called the meeting to order. An election was held and the following officers were chosen to serve for the fall quarter: ROBERT CAULKINS President MRS. CARVER . Vice-President VERA JENKINS . Secretary CLYDE BURMASTER. . . Treasurer The Sophomores gave their first party the evening of November 1, and in keeping with the season it was a holiday masquerade; spooks and goblins were the order of the evening and the Hallowe'en spirit was accentuated by the strange costumes and weird lighting. Witches, black cats, masks-then the strains of a prize waltz. Thus the Sophomores early demonstrated to the school that they could turn a usual ordinary affair into something unusual, unique and characteristic. November 13, the president called to order a meeting of the sophomore class. It soon would have become apparent to anyone that it was an unusual class meeting. Distinctive, appealing talks were made by several members of the class. Several other people who were not members of the sophomore class, but who were representative people in school, had also been invited to speak. And they too, brought their message. The whole meeting represented an effort to bring out the urgent problems, not alone of the sophomore class, but of the school as a whole. On December 11 President Caulkins called a well attended meeting to order. In a short snappy manner the business at hand was finished. Don Tunstall was elected to serve as the sophomore representative on the Klipsun Board. The meeting was now turned over to the program committee and the class enjoyed a short talk by Betty Riley and readings by Helen Cummins and Dewey Bowman. Thirty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 32 ---------- December 15, another one of those inimitable sophomore parties was given. When school closed for the Christmas recess, fifty sophomores were lost to the school through graduation. They chose not to have the usual graduation ceremony. They left us as quietly as they came, without ostentation, without show; and they will do their chosen work in the same manner, quietly, modestly and well. The Christmas holidays were over and once more school activities were resumed. January 10 the Sophomores met to elect officers for the new quarter. The class chose the following members: CLYDE BURMASTER President DON TUNSTALL .Vie-President ELEANOR WHISNER Secretary KATIE JENKINS Treasurer February 29 the Sophomores held a class party in the gymr_asium. March 5 the class met to transact various sundry business. Following that was a short program, consisting of a vocal solo by Miss Hendrickson and readings by Miss Parsons and Clyde Cole. Two weeks later class activities were interrupted by the termination of the quarter and beginning of spring recess. Again fifty Sophomores were lost to the school and to the class through graduation. And again they chose to leave quietly, without the formality or the ceremony of the customary graduation exercises. March 28 school reconvened for the third quarter of the year-and what is for the Sophomores-the busiest quarter. Many things remain to be done in that last quarter before graduation-things for the school, things for the class, things for one's self; the usual lessons to prepare, requirements to fulfill, the usual number of school activities to participate in, pertinent matters of class to attend to so the subsequent class may begin where it stopped, without any encumbrances, acquaintanceship to be developed to friendship, friendship to be cemented to everlasting bonds of affection. All these causes, and more, contribute toward making the final quarter for the Sophomore, his busiest-and yet most enjoyable. And then comes the last final week; the hurried and flurried rush and excitement of commencement; anticipations, expectations; the night of commencement-the diploma-and the Sophomore is a graduate. The sophomore class has been together perhaps for the last time. And yet its spirit will not die. Next year its members will be scattered far and wide, doing their various work. They will be in Alaska, in its coast towns and inland villages. They will be in Hawaii. They will be in Washington. They will be in Montana. They will be everywhere, and wherever they go they will take with them memories and impressions of the school where they received their training, of the class of which they were a part. Each recurrence of an impression will be a rebirth; and each moment of lingering over a fond memory will be a renewal of the Sophomore class. And in that way the sophomore class is not at an end, but really only just beginning.

Puffing forth violet, Wild rose, and mignonette- Ah, I breathe them yet, Silent old incense man. Making my room a maze, Each door a thousand ways, It would take nights and days To find my way out. Fashioning with facility Geniis that rise stealthily And look down at me, With wistful sad eyes. Under your magic spell I've heard a wedding bell Grow faint, and swell In the still night. Once, in your foggy breath I saw grim-eyed Death And my lovely Elinor . I kissed her once, once, no more. Silent old incense man Of oriental clan, Smoking incessantly, What dreams you have brought me. Fifty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 60 ---------- SII i - Freshman Class We, the class of '25, who so solemnly entered the portals of Bellingham State Normal school in the fall of 1923 and set out to sail over the Sea of Victories with Henry Hoffman as captain; Vivian Holcombe, first mate; Catherine Watts, second mate, and Milton Blonden, purser, wish to declare this will and testament: Be it known that because of our great size we were divided into three groups for our parties, but we nevertheless became well acquainted and made many true friends: - That when those at the helm were changed, Dick Bruland, Mike Thorniley, Catherine Watts and Milton Blonden were put in charge of the ship of the class of '25. And let it be known that all served faithfully. It is true that we entered men into every activity in the school; that one of us captained the football boys; that others edited and managed the Messenger and Klipsun; that a goodly number debated for the honor of the school; that both the Men's and Women's organizations were led by our classmates; that some among us are classed with those of great musical ability; that the drama is supported by Freshman talent; and that the Tulip Queen was chosen from our ranks. We who, as hereby stated, have been so wealthy in all possible class posses-sions, desire to bequeath to all classes following that same spirit of good will, enthusiasm and sportsmanship that has so greatly filled us. To the instructors of our institution we wish to give our sincere thanks for their good and faithful teach-ing. And to the school as a whole we wish to say that whatever we may have given, that was a benefit, was given gladly; and that for the knowledge which we have gained we are grateful. It is our desire, now that the ship of the class of '25 will soon cast anchor at the end of the voyage of its first year, to wish for those who are about to set out again in a journey of their own, that success and happiness may be theirs. Be it thus known that herein are stated the wishes of the class of '25. CONSTANCE M.

Miss Marjorie McIntire, who was queen this year, is a Freshman. She was chosen by a committee of students and faculty from a group of eight girls, anyone of whom would have been charming in the role. Miss Aletta Day, this year a student at Normal, was elected when she was at- tending a local high school. She reigned over the 1922 festivities. Miss Mabel Hickson, of Sedro Woolley, was the candidate of the Normal in 1923. This year the marchers of the Normal were adjudged to be the best school delegation and took first prize in the school section, for float and marchers. The float was designed by the Art Department and was made by students in the art classes. The Tulip Festival had its beginning five years ago, when a group of promi-nent business men of Bellingham conceived the idea of making this city famous as "Tulip Town." The idea of the "tulip" arose naturally from the fact that the only government bulb farm was located in Bellingham. The climate and soil of this vicinity being extremely favorable for the cultivation of tulips, all residents and schools were urged to plant as many bulbs as possible. Interest was heightened by the offer of loving cups for the best displays and by the annual blossom show. The festival has grown and become so well known that many hundreds of visitors from all over the Northwest come to see the celebration. S:xty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 66 ---------- THOMAS WHITE RANKIN BOND SELBY GRAGG Board of Control With the exception of three members, the Board of Control which met for the last time at the close of the winter quarter was made up of entirely new members from those elected in the spring. Of those seven original members, which were Maurice Thomas, president; Leland Rankin, vice-president; Mrs. Carl Irish, Mr. Charles Simonsen and Mr. John O'Rourke, student representatives, Mr. E. A. Bond, and Miss Delia Keeler, faculty representatives, only Mr. Bond, Mr. O'Rourke and Mr. Simonsen remained. In spite of the many and varied changes in the personnel of the Board, a great deal of real work was accomplished. The plans for the athletic games were well considered. Especially to be remembered was the dedication of Waldo Field on November 9. This Board also spent many weary hours in the framing of a new constitution and by-laws in which some new ideals were incorporated for the Students' Association. The Board did not neglect the social side of school life for they planned many interesting mixers and programs, two of which will long be remembered, the Christmas program and the Armory dance. The last work accomplished by this Board was the institution of a new commission for the furthering of the development of Normal-Stad and other Student Association property. One thing that marked the meetings of this Board at all times was the spirit of co-operation and good fellowship in which their work was done. The presence of the President of the Normal School at the meetings was a great factor for harmony and smooth working power and tended to promote unity. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 67 ---------- BAUCRMAN LUND LINDSTEDT CEDE'RIERG BLACK Student's Co-Op Starting back in 1908 on a small basis, the Student's Co-op has enjoyed a steady growth until now it is equipped to furnish students with all the necessary school supplies and accessories, at reasonable prices. The students are able to enjoy the advantages of a large bookstore inside our own walls. Mr. Baughman, the manager, has been with the Co-op almost from its begin-ning, and it has been through his earnest efforts that the store has reached its present success. Mr. Baughman believes in low prices and prompt, courteous service. Students and teachers appreciate the efficient service rendered by Mr. Baugh-man and his assistants, Mrs. Edith L. Black, Miss Ruth C. Lund, Mr. Oscar H. Lindstedt, and Mr. Theodore Cederberg. Sixty- seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 68 ---------- Again great credit is due to our splendid coach, Horace G. Rahskopf, who spent his time untiringly working with teams so that they might be victorious for their Alma Mater. The debate season this year is one to be remembered. With the exception of three people all members of the teams were new, but despite this fact, under the splendid coaching, teams were perfected and the season ended with a record of seven debates with six victories and the winning of the Allison Cup for the second successive year. This year keener interest than ever before was displayed in forensics, and with this season's record future work is expected to be even more successful. Because of a clash in questions the intended tour of the Pacific Coast was not made. However, next year it is planned to train the teams on only one question, thus making it possible to make the tour. BELLINGHAM-BADGER DUEL DEBATE Resolved: That the Supreme Court shall not be allowed to declare a law unconstitutional unless seven of nine judges concur in the decision. Bellingham, Affirmative 3 Badger 0 Bellingham, Negative 3 Badger . 0 Tuesday .morning, February 19, at the regular assembly hour, the first debate of the season was held. Mr. Arnold and Mr. Berolski upheld the affirmative. They based their arguments on the grounds that the power held by the Supreme Court is too great, and showed that where there is only a five-four decision there is a doubt as to the actual constitutionality of a law. The present method, they proved, is undemocratic and not logical. The negative failed to meet these points satisfactorily. Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 69 ---------- S:wty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 70 ---------- INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE Bellingham, Affirmative 2 Ellensburg 1 Bellingham, Negative 2 Cheney . . . 1 In the contest between the three Normal Schools of the state, the negative of each team again debated away from home. Bellingham's team went to Ellens-burg, Ellensburg to Cheney, and Cheney to Bellingham. All three debates were held on the evening of March 6. On the home floor the affirmative team, upheld by Miss Arnell, Mr. Griffith and Mr. Simonson, proved superior both in organization of facts and delivery. Their arguments were based on there being too much power at present, and that a bare majority such as five to four is not a sufficient number to declare any law unconstitutional. Nine of the most recent five to four decisions were cited and it was shown that a doubt existed in these decisions, therefore declaring unconstitutional laws which would have been beneficial to the country. The negative failed to meet these and other arguments in rebuttal, losing by a two to one decision. Those who made the first trip to Ellensburg were Miss Arnell, Miss Loers and Mr. Arnold. There the team was again far superior both in delivery and logic to the Ellensburg trio. They based their arguments on the grounds that the Supreme Court is the supreme power of the land and is a body composed of men who know the best. They took nine of the most recent five .to four decisions and showed how these were unconstitutional, and, had they l;een passed, how they would have been harmful to the country. The affirmative did not prove their case conclusively enough, thereby losing to the Bellingham team by a two to one decision. The tie debate was held again at Cheney with the same teams, with the exception of one member on each team. Due to a sudden illness on the part of Miss Loers, Miss Arnell was chosen in her place, and again the team left with high hopes for another victory which would mean the Blue and White for the second year could claim the Allison Cup. On the evening of March 18 the teams met. But fate was with the Blue and White. So perfect was the organization of material and delivery that the affirmative could not find a flaw in our machine-like team, and again Cheney failed to meet our arguments, losing to the Alma Mater with a two to one decision. This ended the inter- triangular series, making Bellingham again holder of the much coveted cup. The Allison Cup is a trophy offered by Guy S. Allison to stimulate interest in forensics among the Normal Schools of the state. Mr. Allison is a graduate of Bellingham Normal, and is now engaged in business in San Francisco, Cali- fornia, and in Portland. Under the terms of the inter-Normal debate agreement, the school winning the cup for three successive years is entitled to hold it perm-anently. According to these terms Bellingham has only one more year to win the cup until it will be the proud possessor. S v-zenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 71 ---------- LINFIELD-DUEL DEBATE Resolved: That the Federal Government should establish a farmer's national co-operative marketing association for the purpose of the distribution of farm products. Bellingham, Affirmative . 0 Linfield . 3 Bellingham, Negative . 2 Linfield . 1 At the morning assembly hcur, Friday, March 28, a negative team composed of two women representing Linfield College of McMinnville, Oregon, met Belling-ham's affirmative team composed of Miss Hibner and Mr. Clapp on the home floor. The negative team presented arguments and facts in such a manner that the home team was unable to match them. By quoting the Tea Pot Dome act, the negative showed that the Government was inefficient to handle such an undertaking. Their delivery was conceded to be the best ever heard from a visiting team. On the evening of the same day a team composed of Lorena Wiester and Stanford Clinton, upholding the negative of the same question, met Linfield's affirmative team at McMinnville. The negative based their arguments on the grounds that such an association is unnecessary, that it would not do the needed work, that such an association would cause either still more unfair competition, or it would become a monopolistic association, which is contrary to the policy of our government, and that the people would be taxed to support something that would not be beneficial to the whole country. The affirmative failed to meet these objections, thereby losing to the negative by a two to one decision. Thus with this record ended the debate season of 1924.

Coach Carver develcped a grid machine of real college calibre. The completion of Waldo Field and choosing of the team name- Vikings-coupled with the winning of the minor college championship, caused 1923 to stand out as a stellar season. It set a high mark for future teams to strive for, and will long be remembered in B. S. N. S. football history. SCHEDULE Oct. 13 Here Viking . . 7 C. P. S. 7 Oct. 27 There Viking . . . 19 U. of W.

FROSH 6 This was the only out--of- town game. The Frosh continually put in new men in an effort to stop the Viking machine. The locals started their counting in the first few minutes, when on the third down McPherson broke away for a sixty yard run, carrying the ball to the two-yard line. Bruland took it over. A pass from Graham to "Keppy" netted the second touchdown. In the last quarter Beardsley went across for the third touchdown. The Frosh scored once, when Delaney received a punt and took the ball down the field for their only score. The line-up--Dawson, L. E.; Goodman, L. T.; Bartsch, L. G.; Lindstedt, C.; Knowlton, R.

Normal hopes were shattered when, in the last few minutes of play, Pesquain, C. P. S. tackle, dropped back and kicked goal. The game ended with the ball in Normal's possession in midfield. The line-up-Dawson, L. E.; Goodman, L. T.; Bartsch, L. G.; Lindstedt, C.; Knowlton, R. G.; Bowman, R. T.; Keplinger, R. E.; Bruland, Q.; Beardsley, L. H.; Vanderford, R. H.; Wilder, F.

VIKINGS 20 - ELLENSBURG 3 The Vikings again proved their superiority by the decisive defeat of Ellens-burg, November 16. The Crimson and Black played a hard game but came out with the short end of a 20-3 score. It was a proper christening for Waldo Field, dedicated on this date. During the first quarter Wilder went through for the first score. With gains from Beardsley, Graham and Wilder the second touchdown was made. The local backfield again went across in the fourth quarter. Robinson, Ellensburg, drop-kicked from the forty yard line for the easterner's solo. VIKINGS 27 - CHENEY 13 In the big Turkey Day game the Viking squad added another victory to their string when they defeated the Cheney Savages. Playing real football, the Vikings had Cheney helpless. Wilder, with excellent help from his mates, took the ball across for three touchdowns. Bruland went across once for a pretty one. Cheney scored twice as a result of blocked punts.

However the lighter and smaller Blue and White tossers showed the Cheney Savages a hard fight in the return mix, outpointing Cheney in the second half though unable to overcome their lead gained in the first half.

HANNAH 1923 Tennis In the Tennis Finals of the summer of 1923, Edgar Hannah took the tourna-ment championship by default of Alvan Hannah, his brother. Miss Lou Fowler won the girls' championship. She was opposed in the finals by Irene Phillips. The mixed doubles, in which Louis Anderson and Beatrice Norton played opposite Edgar Hannah and Irene Phillips, was won by the former pair. Other strong contestants who were eliminated from the finals earlier in the tournament were Gordon Broadbent, C. Haeske, L. Keplinger, E. Keplinger, and R. Tunstal. The tournament line-up in the finals follows: Men's Singles-Edgar Hannah vs. Alvin Hannah. Men's Doubles- E. Hannah, A. Hannah vs. Anderson, Barker. Women's Singles-Lou Fowler vs. Irene Phillips. Women's Doubles-Fowler, Phillips vs. Tweit, Gill. Mixed Doubles-Anderson, Norton vs. E. Hannah, Phillips. Eighty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 84 ---------- S ATIIIITK U-O0 Miss FRANK, Instructor in Physical Education Girls' Coach Miss Frank has instilled in the girls the desire for clean play at all times; to enter into the game for the fun of it, and not merely for the object of winning. She advocates love of sports for sports' sake, the mark of the true sportsman being his ability to accept defeat in the same spirit as he accepts victory. Miss Frank has taught the girls teamwork and the value of good comradeship. Eighty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 85 ---------- Basketball Basketball turnouts were large from the first, the Sophomores having only a few less than the Freshmen. After some preliminary work, the girls plunged into the game. They worked hard, turning out two nights a week. Early in March the teams were chosen for the Kline Cup games. As the class teams are the only teams the girls are allowed to make as yet, they were as anxious to play their best as if they had made a first team. Sometime they hope to have the honor of representing the Normal on a first team. The first Kline Cup game was played March 4, at Whatcom High school, as a preliminary to the Normal-Spokane College game. This was a fast, clean game, and good teamwork was displayed on both sides. The score was one-sided through-out the game, the Sophomores leading by a wide margin. The Freshmen seemed unable to check the speedy teamwork of their opponents. At the end of the game the score stood 39-11 in favor of the Sophomores. The second game was played March 11, at Normal. This was a hard-fought and exciting game. With the addition of Alice Barber, the Freshmen rallied and held the Sophomores to close, fast playing. The score hesitated, first favoring the Sophs, and then the Frosh. In the last few minutes of play the Frosh got the edge on the Sophs, and when the game ended, the tally was 33-32 in favor of the Fresh-men. The third game was played March 17, at Normal. This game was the final and deciding game for the cup. At the beginning there was considerable loose playing until the girls settled down; then they played a good brand of basketball. The Sophs came back in this game and, aided by splendid teamwork and accurate shoot-ing, they won by a score of 41-22. The class of '24 has had the honor of winning the cup twice, as they were successful in their Freshman year. Four of the Frosh team of last year played on this year's Sophomore team. Edna McKelvey F. Doris Turner Mrs. Helen Hannah F. Agnes Tweit Alice Barber . J. C. . Sara Overmeyer Evelyn Lindberg . S. C. . Beatrice Thomas Myrtle Olsen G. . . Lillian Johnson Mildred Johnson G.

She knows how to roll 'em in, end is a sure and swift passer. LILLIAN JOHNSON-Guard Lillan plays a steady game from whistle to whistle. She is a sure player and knows how to sti k to her forward. BEATRICE THOMAS-Side Center A whirlwind player and a quick passer. She fights every minute sh3 plays, and is a strong factor on the Sophomore team. FLORENCE BOWMAN-Guard A close checker and a steady all 'round player, Florence playe d a good defensive game.

AGNES TWEIT-Forward "Aggie"' has the trus basket-ball sense and an eye for the basket. She always knows where the ball's going and gets it. She and Doris could show you some rare teamwork. Eighty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 87 ---------- Freshmen ALIC2 BARBER-Jumping Center, Guard (Captain) Barber plays either pesition equally well. She has a remarkable way of picking the ball out of the air, intercepting pass after la s. MIYRTIE OLON--Jumping Center, Guard She played a fast game and kept her opponent spinning the whole time. Hr fcrwards made but few baskets. EVELYN LINDBERG-Side Center Evelyn played a good, steady game as side center, a match for any opponent. MILDRED JOHNSON-Guard Mildred played on the defensive side of the game and won h r place on the team by her close guarding and quick passing. EDNA MCKELVEY-Forward Edna was good at eluding her guard, and in piling up the score for the Freshman team. MRS. HELEN HANNAH-Forward The other half of the Freshman forward machinery. A good, steady player and always on the job. Eighty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 88 ---------- Volleyball Following the close of the basketball seascn the girls began playing volleyball. When the weather permitted they played outside, thus enjoying the spring weather and the game at the same time. The Tulip Festival delayed the Sophomores and Freshmen in playing off their game, but they met at the close of the first six weeks. Both classes had worked up good teams and the game proved very exciting. 0 Baseball The last six weeks of the spring quarter the girls played baseball out of doors. A great deal of promising material turned out both for the Sophomores and the Freshmen. Miss Frank is coaching the Sophomore girls, while Mrs. Foster has the Freshmen squad. A lively game between the two teams is expected by the end of the season. - - -- - Field Hockey This, a new sport to most of the girls, was introduced this spring. Many girls who did not care about the other sports have shown a great deal of interest and turned out in force for hockey. The athletic girls of the school received it enthusiastically also, and any day, a group of girls might be seen on Waldo field, learning the game. The Freshmen are turning out and learning the rud'ments of the game under the capable instruction of Mrs. Foster, while the Sophcmores are receiving the same instruction from Miss Frank. The coaches hope to have two teams whipped into shape by the end of the season so the Sophomore and Freshmen may have a game of field hockey. This sport is well liked by the girls and will probably become a major sport in the school. Eighty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 89 ---------- Waldo Field For many years Bellingham Normal has been handicapped by lack of a good athletic field and gymnasium facilities. In spite of this fact, the teams sent out by the school have always been of a high standard. One of these handicaps was removed this year by the completion of Waldo Field. It is named in honor of Pres. D. B. Waldo, who was instrumental in providing the school with an up-to-date athletic field. Dedication exercises were held on November 16, 1923.

Ninety-two TUNSTALL ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 93 ---------- Weekly Messenger The Messenger Staff this year has been operating on a progressive policy. Several new departments have been added, and better arrangement throughout the paper has resulted from the staff's co-operative efforts in the make-up department. During the first quarter, after many lengthy discussions, the class in journalism decided to change the entire appearance of their product by adopting the regular newspaper form and stock in preference to the former four-column magazine style. The members of the staff appreciated very much the aid of the faculty and students, who offered such valuable suggestions for improvement at the time the questionnaire was put before them. An advanced class in journalism, beginning the third quarter, made it possible to have a group working together who had had former experience, and who knew something about the details of newspaper duties. The classes in English com-position lightened the duties of the reporters by contributing many of the shorter news items, thus giving all the more time to spend in the printing shop on make-up. The Anniversary number, published April 25th, contained a four-page supple-ment. This issue, which was the result of the best work of the staff, attempted to depict the standards and advantages of the Normal to the various schools, educators and alumni into whose hands it fell. Warner Poyhonen acted as editor the first two quarters, and John O'Rourke filled the position of advertising manager. When Mr. O'Rourke left at the begin-ning of the third quarter, Mr. Poyhonen succeeded him as manager, and Mr. Harry Appleton became editor. Much credit is due Mrs. Ruth A. Hussey, whose enthusiasm was responsible for the addition of the course in advanced journalism to the curriculum of the school, and whose criticism and help were invaluable to the publication. Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 94 ---------- GRIFFI N PAKAR LUCAS LINESLEY Quartet This musical organization has been in existence for some years, and has proved to be one of the greatest and most useful assets to the school. It has been under the leadership of Miss Jessie Ames Belton for the past two years. The quartet makes four or more public appearances each quarter and at the end of the three quarters, each member is awarded an honorary pin from the Associated Student Body. This year the club started out Very nicely, but right in the midst of their en-thusiasm over their new work, Miss Leap Year stepped in with interruptions. Miss Marion Warner, the second soprano, took the fatal step and left a vacancy which was soon filled by Miss Polly Mock, who in turn gave place to Miss Marie Pakar. The third quarter, Mrs. Edna Schumacker Griffin, the first soprano, accepted a position in Centralia and left another vacancy which was filled by Miss Marion Eager, the first soprano of last year. In spite of the many handicaps the quartet has had this year, they have done some splendid work, and altogether have had a most successful season. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 95 ---------- Normal Orchestra With the largest membership in Normal orchestra history, the school orchestra under the direction of John R. Williams has, in the past year, proved itself un-surpassed in quality as well as in quantity. Having twenty-seven pieces, including piano, violin, cello, saxaphones, trombone, cornet, clarinet, oboe, and drums, this organization has had a prominent place in student activities. Besides presenting a program in assembly and entertaining at the plays, the orchestra has appeared in the Music department recital, in a program at the State Teachers' convention, and before high school assemblies. Great credit is due Mr. Williams for his splendid direction of the orchestra, for it has been an organization of which the Normal may well be proud, Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 96 ---------- Girl's Clef Club ALICE KAUFFMAN President MARION WARNER . . . . . . Vice-President FLORENCE LUCAS . . Secretary and Treasurer GLADYS Goss Librarian The Clef Club is composed of twenty-four selected women's voices. It is not only a credit organization, but is also a credit to the school. This year the Clef Club has appeared several times before the students, besides broadcasting a musical program over the radiophone. It also took a prominent part in the annual Music department concert given at the end of the second quarter. We feel that in many respects the club has had a more successful season this year than ever before. This is partly due to the hearty endeavor of each girl in the club and to the untiring efforts of our director, Miss Jessie Ames Belton. We feel that the Clef Club is successfully carrying out its aim of setting a higher stan-dard for music in our school. Niney -six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 97 ---------- Men's Glee Club The Men's Glee Club has had a successful year under the capable leadership of Mr. Harrison T. Raymond. Great gains have been made in numbers and in in-terest. The club has grown from the quartet of last year to a chorus of sixteen voices. This was the first musical organization of the school to appear before the assembly, with a program on November 2. The club took a prominent part in the Music department program on St. Patrick's Day, and sang for the Washington Federated Music Clubs on March 18. The club has been limited in its work by the fact that many of the members have had no previous experience, and that none of them have had vocal training; but in spite of these limitations, a creditable showing has been made.

And in such a strange place! The prospector wore his thirty-five years as if it were an age, and all because the last seven of that thirty-five had been spent hunting gold. He had panned the dirt in a thousand streams, and he had picked at quartz leads all over Idaho. He had even dug a shaft in one place, but never had he found success--and now to stumble upon it in a place like this! Above him for a mile and a half was a chaos of granite boulders which looked as if they had been spilled at the top and had scattered like corn from an overturned bucket clear to the lake below. Only where he stood a ledge of quartz had withstood the onslaught, and in that quartz was-gold! When it had become so dark that he could no longer see, he relinquished his pick and sought his burro and pack. He was not aware that he burned his bacon; he stared into the flames and saw gold. He built his bed on the murmuring beach and gazed toward a million stars but saw gold. Dawn came across the lake, all shimmering silver and pink. He rose and climbed to the ledge but saw only gold. For days gold was his pleasure, his thoughts, his life. Weeks passed. When necessity demanded, he left his gold to kill a deer or to fish along the lake at the mouths of hurrying streams. Partridge were plentiful. The first huckleberries were already ripe. His hoard of gold beneath the great granite boulder below the ledge had grown to goodly proportions. Then while moving some rocks, he started a little rock slide. It was small, and it did no damage; but he stood aghast at the idea it brought. What if the thousands of tons of granite boulders should slide? What if his work should start them? He did no more work that day. There was no way to avert the possible disaster. The vein led back under the rock slide, and it was growing richer. Props would break like matches. Perhaps he had better stop work. He had enough to keep him comfortably and more. But the ever-increasing vein of gold held him, and he worked on. Each day he thought that tomorrow he would move his hoard and stop work-tomorrow. July passed; August, September found him toiling on at the ever-richening vein. He worked in a little cave that he had dug beneath the quartz ledge. Above the quartz ledge the giant boulders lay waiting-waiting. in the quartz a little crack grew gradually wider. The man enlarged his cave; the crack yawned wider. Steadily it grew-a tiny fraction of an inch-a quarter -a half. It caught his eye. Fascinated, he gazed-wider-wider. He staggered out to the giant boulder that hid his gold hoard. The quartz crushed down; the boulders poised above, motionless like a cat before its prey. He struggled with his gold, weakly-they leaped into terrific life! A trapper found a shaggy burro, a poorly constructed camp, a few specimens of very rich ore, a little path that led from the camp to the edge of a fresh rock slide-nothing more. One Hundred . V ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 101 ---------- The Spring Caravan Second Prize Poem BY GEORGE SHERMAN Has no one seen the long caravan Of the gypsy man? 'Tis strange The sap has dripped from the maple trees Till the buckets are full, and the skis Have been stored away in a dusty room With my ice skates and Grandma's loom. The snow has left the turnpike bare, And the breath of Spring is in the air, And the March wind with a tyrant's eye Has driven the clouds across the sky Like ships with sails unfurled to the sea, And the husky voice of the brook Has sung of the world's new imagery- But I stand alone on the turnpike And look For the gypsy man and his long caravan, For that is the sign of Spring to me. Has no one seen the long caravan Of the gypsy man? I have-- They came over the hill at the close of day And made their camp along the highway, And thru the hours of the still spring night The turnpike glowed with the luminous light Of their fires. And their violins brought down The stars on the gray-canvassed town; And their lusty voices joined in a dance That brought dreams of lace and wild romance, Of a wandering people skilled in everything- In cards and tea-cups and lines of palms . . Where was a canvassed city are smouldering Fires; naught else, you say? But I beg No alms, For the gypsy man and his long caravan Have left me smouldering fires and Spring. One Hundred One ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 102 ---------- The Heart of Jim (Honorable Mention) By VADA MORFITT Undoubtedly Jim Randall was the ugliest man living. He had the look of an over-tall tree, with all its branches at the top. His arms dangled, and the waist band of his blue jean trousers perched jauntily on one hip. His neck was long and scrawny, his hair a riotous mass of flaming redness. But in atone-ment, Nature had given him the soul of a poet. Susan Petridge, spinster, kept the little post office in Bridgeport, and I always stayed with her during my brief vacation. Summer boarders were her specialty. How Susan despised Jim. Her clean, well-regulated mind could not tolerate physical laziness, especially when it went hand in hand with physical uncleanliness. Somehow I liked Jim. He used to bring his poems for me to read, and we had many an interesting talk. He was a lonely fellow. One day Jim got a paper through the mail. Later more papers came and many letters. He seemed preoccupied, and I worried about him fearing he was in trouble of some sort. Several weeks passed and I scarcely saw him. The letters kept coming. Then one day Jim came in with a hearty stride; his homely face beamed with joy. "Well, Miss, it's happened." "But what, Jim?" "Ah! She said she'd come; an' Ma'am, she's a beauty!" He drew out a letter and a much bedraggled picture, and handed them to me. The letter was on cheap paper, written in round school-girl hand. It read: "Dear Mr. Randall: I've thought about you and your proposition a good bit. I've decided to come if you still want me. I'm not very strong or pretty, but I'm willing and I'll do my best by you. I'm awful lonesome here and I've never seen any outdoors 'cept the park. I bet it's grand. You can count on me getting there next Wednesday. "Yours truly, "Mary Sidney." The letter made me want to cry and the picture was nothing less than pathetic, with its tired young-old face, watery eyes, lips that turned downward, and such an expression of meekness. Jim seemed to fear I was displeased and said quickly, "You see, Miss, I answered a matrimonial ad. Me an' this lady has been corres-pondin' reg'lar now for about a month. We'll be married over to the Parks. I kinda thought you'd maybe help me to fix up my old shack afore she gits here. It ain't no kind o' place to take a lady." Wednesday came as even long- planned days do. Jim was all prettied-up and waiting long before stage time. He had hard work to control his eagnerness. At last it came, that lumbering old relic of another day, and stopped with a flourish in front of the post office. The driver helped the one passenger to alight while the eyes of half a hundred curious folk peeped out from advantageous positions. She seemed little more than a girl, and I felt a sudden rush of pity for her, so timid in that strange rough camp. Her luggage consisted of one old straw suitcase and a blrdcage which she handled with extreme care. Jim led the way toward the rooming- house, walking a few paces ahead as his code of ethics demanded of a man, especially a man about to marry. One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 103 ---------- A week later I went at Jim's request to call on "Little Mrs. J m," as the boys all called her. She seemed glad to see me. She was so proud of the mean little cabin and its scattered fields, the mongrel puppy, the handful of scrawny chickens. Jim was happier than I had ever seen him. His usually unkempt beard was painfully clean, his trousers patched and repatched. Even his weather-beaten face seemed somehow fresher and cleaner. I did not go back to Bridgeport for several summers, but I often caught myself wondering about Jim. When finally I had the opportunity I found myself as eager as a child to get back to that gossipy little town. The stage seemed particularly slow, the driver unusually stupid. Finally well remembered landmarks appeared, and my journey was soon ended. I alighted as of yore at the post office. Finding Susan absent from her place of business, I decided to lose no time in making a call on Jim. I set out forthwith on the dusty path picturing to myself the improvements I felt I had every reason to expect. Just around a bend in the road I came face to face with the Jim of former days, if possible shabbier and more unkempt. "Why Jim, I'm glad to see you! I was just going to your place. Have you a lot of new poems, and how is Mrs. Jim?" The poor fellow just stood looking intently at the ground a few moments, poking at a loose pebble with the toe of one runover boot. "Well, Miss, little Mrs. Jim ain't no more. I reckon this life was too rough for her. She just naturally faded away, an' ma'am, it's pow'rful lonely without her." The years roll swiftly and man forgets his sorrow and pain. But there is a residue that enriches and enobles. To most Jim's little wife was but a plain, undernourished, uncultured bit of driftwood; but she was Jim's flower in a desert of thorns. Though the flower has faded its fragrance lives on. Publishers who fight over his poems, and the public who await with eagerness for each new verse from his pen wonder what gives them their touch of infinite sadness and wisdom. But you and I know. One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 104 ---------- Valentines and Cupids Third Prize Story By DON TUNSTALL The pupils of the Sixth A were studying with an unwonted intensity. Not a whisper disturbed the accentuated quiet of the cheerful room; not a paperwad flicked against the freshly washed blackboard, nor did a clumsily passed note drop with conspicuous rustle to the oiled floor. Miss Brooks had promised them a valent'ne box and a quarter holiday. When she had to leave the room for a moment and Johnny Lewis, the class cut-up, began one of his antics, he was looked upon with such frowns of disapproval that he was instantly squelched, and, blushing furiously, subsided into his seat. How slowly the hands crept around the big solemn face of the clock in front of the room! How the minutes dragged. Time was interminable, for at ten minutes before dismissal they were to draw names. Deep was the anxiety of Jimmy Ryan and great was his anticipation as he awaited that fateful hour. A few weeks before, Eloise Patterson had entered school, capturing in an instant all of the masculine hearts in the room. She was slight and rather pale complexioned; but she had beautiful black curls and deep brown eyes, which smiled at everyone impartially. Her father was the new president of the bank and lived in the big Curtis House on the hill. Much to the envy of the other little girls, Eloise wore a different dress almost every day. And it was rumored that she was going to give a party and invite all of her best friends. Jimmy dreamed of her from the first day he saw her. He worshipped her as a slave may worship his queen. Jimmy with the unruly hair, freckled face and up- turned nose; with the worn coat, the patched shoes, and the missing necktie-how hopeless, he realized, was his affection. Yet he dreamed dreams and built castles, and in all of these little Eloise reigned as queen. "All right, children, put away your books," broke in the firm voice of Miss Brooks. A muffled sigh of relief escaped as all the children hastily but cautiously jammed their books into their desks. Soon a breathless quiet reigned and all the faces were turned toward Miss Brooks in rapt expectancy. "Now, children, all write your names on slips of paper. George, you may col-lect the boys' names and Ralph, the girls'." How closely Jimmy watched to see what kind of paper Eloise wrote her name on and how she folded it. To his disgust he noticed that every other boy was watching with the same close attention. The names were collected and passed. Jimmy thrust his hand into the hat and found a piece of paper that felt about right. With a thrill of uncertainty he withdrew it. Scarcely daring to breathe, he opened it. "Miriam Winters!" How unjust were the gods ! He was plunged from the heights of rapture to the antithesis of despair. But a faint beam of hope shone through his melancholy. He could trade. With a wild shout school was dismissed and they all went trooping out into the yard with cries of, "Who'd you get?" How'll you trade?" "I'll trade you sights unseen." Jimmy at last discovered the proud possessor of Eloise's name. Billy Sherman had drawn it and showed every indication of intending to keep it. He was deaf to all pleading and cajoling and offered only a passive ear to offers of money, marbles, chewing gum and bean shooters. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 105 ---------- Aw, come on, Billy, pleaded Jimmy, "I'll do your 'rithmetic for you fer a week." "Nope. I tell you I'm gonna keep it myself," replied Billy, and started walking off toward home. In a moment Jimmy caught up with him. He would make the highest sacrifice. "Here, Billy," panted Jimmy. "I'll give you this if you'll trade. Miriam is an awful nice girl, too." In his hand he extended a battered but still serviceable knife with two good blades and a screwdriver. Jimmy had won it as a prize for a composition the year before, and it was his dearest possession. Billy began to yield. No other boy in school had a knife like that. "I'11 tell you, Jimmy. I'll do it if you'll give me that knife and pack my wood for a month." Rather reluctantly Jimmy agreed to the suggestion of the miniature Shylock. It was a lot, but it was for Eloise. So with a light heart he parted with the knife and started for home and his chores. Jimmy's father worked as foreman in one of the sawmills and could only with difficulty support his large family. So Jimmy earned nearly all of his spending money himself by doing odd jobs. He knew better than to ask for money to buy Eloise a valentine. He had already fully determined to earn it himself some way. Just the valentine he wanted reposed in the window of Prigmore and Sears' Drug Store. It cost a fabulous sum-one dollar and seventy- five cents-but it was the nicest one in town and none other would do for Eloise. There were only four days till Friday. Jimmy put in wood, carried suitcases, weeded gardens and mowed lawns. In the morning before school, after school, in the evenings and sometimes at noon he toiled. But finally on Thursday evening he walked toward town with one dollar and eighty-five cents jingling comfortingly in his pocket. His hands were blistered, his back ached, and for three nights he had gone to bed dead tired. But in the mornings he had seen Eloise again, and through-out the day, and her pleasant little companionable smile and cheerful "Hello, Jimmy" had spurred him on to unremitting effort. And now his goal was almost achieved. In sheer joy Jimmy kicked a rock before him on the pavement. It was fun to see it go rolling smoothly along. He caught up with it and delivered another kick. This time the rock did not hold quite true to form, but rose off the pavement, and as if guided by a magnet, headed straight for the basement window of old Mr. Squire's house. Jimmy's heart ceased to function for an instant and then resumed its operation with slow, deadening throbs. The rock had held its course and, with a tinkling shower of glass, had shattered the window. As the full significance of the calamity dawned on Jimmy, he stood stone-still as if frozen to the spot. In a daze he saw Mr. Squires with his cane tapping beside him, hobbling hurriedly out of the house. Ordinarily he would have run, but he didn't seem able. And now it was too late. "Ah, now I've got ye, ye young rascal. You run right home and git me two dollars to pay for that there winder, or I'll tell the town marshal and he'll hev the law on ye. It's time suthin was done to these young reprobates, tearing around and destroying a decent, self-respectin' man's property that-a- way." With reluctant steps Jimmy started toward home. He lacked fifteen cents of the two dollars. The valentine was a thing of the past. He would try and get the rest of the money from his mother. Dimly these thoughts trickled through his brain. He seemed unable to think. Only a dull cognizance of some great disaster seemed to oppress him. One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 106 ---------- After confiding in his mother he secured the required fifteen cents and re-turned to pay for the window. How he had toiled and perspired for that window! And now it was all gone and he could give Eloise no valentine. Tears welled in his eyes and almost brimmed over, but he was made of sterner stuff, so he sniffed a few times, and with a furious dab of his hand wiped away all traces of this effem-inate demonstration. Unconsciously his steps turned toward the drug store. He would have one last look at the treasure that was to have been his to bestow on the lady of his heart. But it was gone. Some more fortunate and affluent person had purchased it. Well, it didn't matter now, anyway. Jimmy went home. He ate a few dry, tasteless mouthfuls as an excuse for supper and then retired hurriedly to the family living room. There he busied him-self with paper, scissors and library paste. He would make a valentine of his own. He painted designs, he drew hearts, he printed verses, but his finished products seemed woefully inadequate. He couldn't give any of these trashy things to the goddess of his dreams. He gave up in despair. Long after the rest of the family had gone to bed he sat with his head on his arms. Tomorrow was Friday. He had no valentine. Everyone knew he had Eloise's name. Eloise knew it, too. She would get many valentines and she would expect something from him. Was he to fail her? Jimmy's throat felt tight and constricted, much like it did at the time he had tonsilitis. It was a sore, choking sensation. Life held no happiness in store for him. Raising his head for a moment to look around the quiet room, he found the familiar objects blurred by a mist. He wouldn't cry-he wouldn't-he wouldn't! Only sissies and babies did that. Then an idea occurred to Jimmy. He would write Eloise a note for a valentine. At least she would know that he wanted to give her one. He got out his mother's stationery and a much abused pen. After biting the end of this for some time and making several false starts, he finally evolved this: Dear Eloise: I' can't give you no valentine. I busted a window and had to pay for it. So you see I haven't no more money. I'm awfully sorry, Eloise, 'cause I like you and I think you are the nicest girl there is. From yours truelly, JIMMY. Came the next day and the hour set for the distribution of the valentines. All day Jimmy had buried himself in his book and studiously avoided meeting the gaze of Eloise who had looked his way quite frequently. The box was filled to over-flowing and some of the valentines were laid on the teacher's desk. There was the one dollar and seventy-five cent valentine. Ted Brown had bought it and was giving it to Eloise. There it lay, the price quite unerased, in mute but glorious testimony of the extreme worth of the valentine. She would never even notice his little note, thought Jimmy, after getting such a lovely valentine. Then the valentines were given out. Two monitors were chosen. Everyone had bought or made a valentine for the one whose name he had, and most of the boys had given another to Eloise. Her desk was heaped high. Now she was unwrapping them and reading. She took the big one first. Finally she came to the humble little envelope. Jimmy looked unconcernedly out of the window and prayed for a speedy dismissal. It was taking her a long time to read it, he thought, as he looked again and she was still absorbed. Then came the welcome dismissal bell. Jimmy jumped to his feet, made a dash for the cloak room, and started down the steps in a run. He was indiscreet. He realized this when lie saw the Principal coming toward him. His arm was One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 107 ---------- seized and he was propelled rather forcibly back to his room. On the way he met Eloise and passed her with downcast eyes. He was doubly disgraced now. "You may remain in your seat for twenty minutes, Jimmy," said Miss Brooks, "and next time perhaps you can remember to go out in a more orderly manner." Jimmy slumped in his seat. Time dragged and so did Jimmy's spirits. What is more lonesome than a deserted school building after hours? It is as oppressive as a prison, as gloomy as a tomb. A voice penetrated to his senses as from another world, "You may go now, Jimmy. I'm sorry this had to happen." Without any perceptible relief Jimmy struggled to his feet and stumbled to-ward the door. He started across the school yard and then a voice called to him. It sounded sweet to him like the warble of birds or like the trickle of water to the parched wanderer on the desert. It couldn't be-but it was-Eloise's voice. "Jimmy, oh Jimmy, wait a minute." He turned and waited, eying one badly scuffed toe and fiddling with his cap with both hands. ",Jimmy, I- I--want to-thank you for the valentine. I don't like the old boughten kind-that anybody can give. Yours was the very nicest of all." She thrust out a hand which Jimmy seized awkwardly. He blushed deeply, relinquished the hand, and found that his organs of speech were temporarily de-ranged. But Eloise went on. "And, Jimmy, I'm giving a party next Friday and you're the very first one I'm inviting because I like you, too." Jimmy had no appetite that night either. One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 108 ---------- The Trails To Fairyland (Third Prize) By PEARL BAILEY "Where are the trails to Fairyland? And how do you go to Fairyland?" Just a little lad of four Wanting to know so very much more Than I shall ever know, Though I search the pages of all the sages And seek till my eyes grow dim, What shall I find to answer him? 'Tis little enough, I trow. Where are the trails to Fairyland? Do you remember the day when I took your hand, And we went to the woods all fresh and sweet, Where the moss was cool to your wee bare feet, Where the violets hid so shy and fair And with the lilies perfumed the air? Where the tiny stream came wandering by, Reflecting that speck of the clear blue sky; And the birds in the trees as we came along Hushed for a moment their glad, sweet song? Surely that trail leads to Fairyland- A long shady trail to Fairyland, A sweet, smelly way to Fairyland. "But the other trails to Fairyland- Tell me all the trails to Fairyland." Then look at that fleecy cloud up there Floating along in the clear, pure air. Let us go sailing, you and I, Up and up. to that cloud on high, And seat ourselves in the white cloudboat; And away, and away, and away we'll float So swift, so free, so high in the air, And no one will guess that we're riding there! And we'll sail straight on to Fairyland! What a wonderful way to Fairyland! What a swift, breezy way to Fairyland! One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 109 ---------- Oh, the Rainbow Trail, that's a beautiful way! Looped up in the sky like a ribbon gay! Of course there's a very steep hill to climb, And it may take a very, very long time, But you and I, we shouldn't mind; On the Rainbow Trail there's much to find. When we reach the top - what a glorious thrill! We'll coast right down that long, long hill. And we'll never, never fear a spill In a jolly ride down that beautiful hill. And we'd land ker-plunk into Fairyland! And startle the Fairies in Fairyland, The wee Fairy-folk in Fairyland. He gurgles with laughter and cuddles my hand, "Tell me more ways to Fairyland!" The sinking sun tells the end of the day And mingles its gold with the blue of the bay. See, little one, see! Away, away Stretches a golden path o'er the bay. Let's walk down the beautiful, shimmering trail; We've never the need of a boat or a sail! The little fish in the water below May follow and laugh as they see us go Right down with the sun into Fairyland! Down, down with the sun into Fairyland! "Where are the trails-" but the Sandman has won. The heavy lids lower;; his long day is done. The soft breeze whispers; the night-hawk calls; And over us gently the twilight falls. He smiles in his sleep and I understand - He's dreaming of more trails to Fairyland. Dream on, little one, safe on mother's breast. Too soon come life's cares and unrest. Would you could dream on - 'tis so hard to live; To see Reality take more than she can give. 'Tis my joy to take you to Fairyland, Down the old, old trails to Fairyland, The Forever Trails to Fairyland. i One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 110 ---------- One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 111 ---------- San Juan Isles The sea is blue 'round San Juan Isles, And every summer day The waves, like little merry maids, Romp up to laugh and play. The hills are green on San Juan Isles; The woods are cool and deep, With slender creeks where bleeding-hearts Hang rosy heads in sleep. Days loiter by on San Juan Isles; A sail blows full and white; An oar gleams through the sapphire depths; Then - it is night. The sails drift back to San Juan Isles; Stars glimmer and are gone. The oars drip opals; lights go out; Then - it is dawn. One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 112 ---------- One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 113 ---------- The San Juan Islands A Sea-Girt Arcadia In the lower reaches of Puget Sound and the Gulf of Georgia, looking out through the Straits of San Juan de Fuca toward the Indies and the lands of romance, on the chief trade routes of the world's future commerce, lie the San Juan Islands, or the Puget Sound Archipelago. This spot is unique in charm and beauty, in perfection of climate, in easy, agreeable living conditions, in health-fulness. It is unique in the fact that it is an entire county of sea and land, of islands and inlets, 172 in number, varying in size from fifty-eight square miles to the area of a city lot. It is unique in climate, even in the Pacific Northwest, called by Dr. Woods Hutchinson "charmed land of the American Continent." It is known as the Sunshine Belt, because of the fact that rain-laden clouds sweeping in from the Pacific frequently pass over the islands without precipitating their moisture until they encounter the high barriers of the Cascade Range. The Archipelago embraces about five hundred square miles of sea and land, of which practically 180 square miles are island. San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands comprise more than three-fourths of the land area and support the bulk of the population. Shaw, Waldron, Stuart, Blakely and Decatur Islands also have prosperous communities, and a number of the smaller islands are inhabited. Others are just waiting until the full charm of the district becomes better known. On each island is a wealth of game, deer and upland birds. The sea and lakes in Moran State Park provide delectable sea food in wide variety, as well as fresh-water trout. The two thousand miles of shore line of Puget Sound, with the addition of the Island Passage to Alaska, afford cruising waters unequalled elsewhere on the globe, in sport, ideal sailing conditions, and scenic beauty. The soil on the islands produces fruit and vegetables in perfection. Pure, fresh water is found everywhere, and over all is a temperate sun, kindly beneficent, and never oppressive. One sleeps under blankets every night of the year. The environment is beautiful beyond the power of the pen to tell-islands and inlets with evergreen shores nestled in an emerald sea, some soft and alluring in outline, many more rugged and precipitous, and the entire beautiful picture framed in a horizon defined by dazzling snow-clad peaks and mountain ranges. The Archipelago lies close up against the British Columbia line, and upon San Juan Island the British flag once floated as an emblem of British sovereignity within the present limits of the United States. For a period of fourteen years (1859-1873) two armies were stationed on San Juan Island. The American forces were landed on the southern end of the island under the command of General Pickett, and a detachment of Royal Marines was landed at the northern end of the island under the command of Captain George Bazalgette. The San Juan dispute was finally settled in 1873 by arbitration, when William I of Germany decided in favor of the claim of the United States. Now we find erected at the northern end of the island a monument in remembrance of the English soldiers. And the old English blockhouse still stands as they left it. At the southern end of the islands stands a beautiful monument in memory of the American forces who were stationed there. One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 114 ---------- On San Juan Island is the location of the county seat, Friday Harbor, the only incorporated town in this modern Arcadia, and the chief trading center of the islands. Here also is located the Puget Sound Biological Station, sup-ported by an association of universities, chief of which is the University of Washington, and founded through the zeal and vision of an internationally known scientist and naturalist, Profes-sor Trevor Kincaid. This school of biology is open for summer sessions of six weeks of intensive study and is attended by students from all parts of the United States as well as foreign countries. The Bellingham Normal School will have classes there the com-ing summer. New equipment is being added continually, and the station ap-pears destined to become one of the most important in existence. At the northern end of the island we find a small town called Roche Harbor, the home of the Roche Harbor Lime Works, producing twelve hundred bar-rels of lime a day, which is the largest lime plant in the world. It is known world wide for its production of fine quality lime. San Juan Island has the largest population of any of the islands and is easily first in production. Its valleys are rich and beautiful, among the best in the Puget Sound district. One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 115 ---------- One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 116 ---------- Orcas Island is the most rugged in contour and picturesque in formation of the islands. It has fine bathing beaches, and is particularly popular with vaca-tionists. From it rises Mount Constitution, 2400 feet high, from which one can catch a panoramic view of sea and islands framed in their setting of snow-clad mountains that for a picture of sheer beauty would be hard to duplicate. Even distant cities are visible. On this island and embracing most of Mount Con-stitution is the 4800 acre estate of Robert Moran, a retired business man of Seattle. Out of this 4800 acres he has recently carved 2700 acres, taking in Mount Constitution, two lovely mountain lakes, and a wealth of fascinating wood-land, which he has given to the State of Washington as the Moran State Park. This is to be enlarged to 5000 acres, and will form one of the most wonderful public parks in the world, a combination of sea, mountain, and beauty of natural forest. It has a natural growth of wild game and bird life. Deer espiecially can be found in great numbers. Mountain Lake, at an elevation of 1200 feet, and Cascade Lake at 350 feet, are both stocked with trout. The state has pro-vided camping places with fire and sanitary arrangements for campers. Nearby nestles Mr. Moran's remaining 2000 acres and his home, one of the show places of Puget Sound. Close by this fascinating region are East Sound, Crescent Beach, Orcas, Olga, West Sound, Deer Harbor, and Doe Bay, leading vacation resorts of the islands with excellent bathing beaches where hundreds disport themselves throughout the summer months. There is no undertow or hidden danger, and bathing even for young children is quite safe. There is good fishing on the larger islands and sea fishing everywhere. It is the yachtman's, boatman's, and canoeist's paradise. The country never loses its charm. Always there is a new bay or a new trail to explore, and always new beauties lying in wait for the adventurer. Never are the lights and the shadows just the same; it is an ever-changing picture and never-ending delight, especially to the sea lover. It is a wonderful place in which to forget life's troubles and worries, to get back to Nature in her happiest mood, to regain health of the body, mind and spirit.

Below, the sea-blue as a sapphire-set Within a sparkling, emerald mountain chain Where fir and hemlock needles sift like rain Thro' the voluptuous air. The soft winds fret The waves, and beat them wantonly to foam The golden distances across the sea Are shot with rose and purple, languourously The silver seabirds in wide circles roam. The sun moves slowly down the flaming West And flings its rays across to set aglow The islands rocking on the cool waves' crest And the great glistening domes of snow on snow. And thro' the mist the Olympics flash and float, Like opals linked around a beating throat. II. Inspired of God were they that chose this place Wherein to build these walls of softest rose, Whose every slender pane at sunset glows Like burnished gold and fires with mystic grace The wooded loveliness of Sehome Hill, Here is the home of color and light; Perfume of balm-trees; singing birds' delight; Splendor of mist and rainbow-and the still Slow flight of butterflies. Sweet liquid clear, The lark flings to the dawn his lyric notes. And what inspired psalmist have we here? What song of pure, enthralling sweetness floats From yonder Elm-tree in the midnight hush? 'Tis the entrancing love-song of the hermit-thrush. -ELLA HIGGINSON. One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 119 ---------- One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 120 ---------- Aletheia DORIS PATRICK . President MABEL TURNER . Vice-.President LEONA KAMB . . . . . . Secretary-Treasurer CARRIE FOURNIER . Sergeant-at-Arms A Hallowe'en party! A dimly lighted room. Shadows of witches and ghosts flitting across the indistinct walls. An atmosphere of mysterious exaltation among those who had just survived the preternatural exercises of initiation. The presi-dent, Doris Patrick, gave her address welcoming the new members-and our activities for the year had begun. One of the biggest events of the year was the annual banquet held March 7, in Edens Hall club room. Floral decorations consisted of pink carnations, which blended beautifully with the rose and gray motif of the table. Sparkling wit and humor predominated in toasts that were given and were responded to nobly by our toast mistress, Doris Patrick. Aletheian Club meetings have consisted of interesting discussions on problems of the day, chief among which was Miss Longley's talk on Hawaii. Programs have included music, art, and works of prominent men and women. Silently our old owl has led us into realms of lofty ideals, and was instrumental in our winning the banner in the "Winter School Vaudeville." The club owes its splendid success to Miss Crawford, our capable sponsor, who has helped in every possible way. We were delightfully entertained at a tea given by Miss Crawford at the home of Miss Longley. Aletheia will ever be led onward to fulfill the lofty ideals and ambitions of our symbol-the owl, which signifies Life, Purity and Truth. That we have shown great interest in our surroundings is attested by the fact that we planted two hundred bulbs on Sehome Hill. Fortunate indeed, has been Aletheia in having Rebecca Arnell as one of her members. Both the club and school are indebted to her for the part she played in winning again the Allison Cup. One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 121 ---------- Alkisiah Club The Alkisiah Club, which is about to begin its twenty-fifth year, is very proud to be the oldest club in the Normal, as well as the only Federated club. Many changes have taken place in these years, but the club, as the name Alkisiah implies, keeps its goal always, "In the Near Future." Of our three objectives: namely, public speaking, public service and current problems, the second-public service-has been stressed this year. One of the first activities was the candy sale to raise the ten dollars assigned to each Federated club for the Louvain Library Restoration fund. The library at the University in Louvain, Belgium, was destroyed during the war. This fund is being raised by American Colleges in response to a wish ex-pressed by Cardinal Mercier when asked by a body of club women just what he wished most that the United States should do for Belgium. In December the club sent a doll to the Tacoma Women's Club Bazaar, to help swell the community Club House fund. This Dutch doll carried a bouquet of tulips to remind recipients that Bellingham is the home of the tulips. The days just before Christmas were brightened by the sale of blooming Nar-cissi. The sale of seals for the Anti-Tuberculosis Association was also held, this last being an old club custom. In co-operation with the Home Economics Department, Home Products week was called to the attention of the school during the week of February 19-21. Recently the Alumni of the club living in Bellingham who were active members in the past, have organized that they may keep in touch with the club, even though not in school. The money left in the treasury has been turned into a fund for a cabin at Normalstad. Our annual club banquet was held in February and was a most enjoyable affair. Many Alumni were present, showing the true club spirit of "Once an Alki-siah, always an Alkisiah." This ends another successful club season under the leadership of our ever-willing and helpful club sponsor, Miss Moffatt. One Hundred Twenty-on ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 122 ---------- College Club The College Club was organized on the campus during the fall quarter. Those students who had previously attended another college or institution for three quarters, and who were able to maintain a B average, were eligible for membership. The purpose of the Club was to promote scholarship, school spirit, and in general to further academic interests. Initiation was held February 2 in the big gym, and ten pledges were taken into the Club. The gymnasium, decorated in the Club colors of blue and gold, presented a charming background for the impressive initiation ceremony conducted by Presi-dent Dorothy White. Afterwards the new members put on an interesting program. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. A second initiation was held during the spring quarter, April 19, and a number of new pledges taken into the Club. The last important event of the spring quarter was an enjoyable informal dance, which came in May.

They had no books, but they heard their history and literature from the leowyrhtas or story tellers. Since then many things have changed. No longer do the people gather around the leowyrhtas to receive all information. They have their books, but even so, the story-teller is as popular as ever and is as much enjoyed. Now in the great school called the Bellingham Normal, there were many wise people who saw the need of promoting the art of story-telling. Thus was the Leowyrhta Club dreamed of and organized, and to this day we have the club. The purpose of the club is to tell stories. Every Saturday morning several members go to the North Side Library to conduct the story hour for the children. In the afternoon several other girls go to the South Side Library to tell stories to the children who live in that vicinity. Furthermore, many girls have worked with the Extension Department and have told stories at P. T. A. meetings. Not only do the Leowyrhtas tell stories, but they write stories also. One of the sweetest tales ever told, "The Sugar Kingdom," was written by a Leowyrhta member. Long live the Leowyrhta Club, the best on the campus! Its present members will never forget the banquet at Hotel Leopold, or the initiation in the Cafeteria. And here is to the sponsor and honorary members, Miss Jacobs, Miss Montgomery and Miss Sperry. One Hundred Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 124 ---------- Edens Hall Since its erection two years ago, Edens Hall has come into popular demand with girls from outside of 'Bellingham. Long before any quarter begins, all rooms are filled and a long waiting list is on hand. The attractive, homey atmosphere of the dormitory is an inducement to the girls to spend most of their time in the building. Better lighting equipment has been installed this year to facilitate studying. The girls who room at the hall and other students who live nearby, eat in the dining room of the building. Meals are prepared and supervised by Miss Schwartz, a graduate dietitian. Excellent, well-balanced meals are served at a very reason-able price. After dinner, the girls spend an hour in recreation. The small hall upstairs is generally well filled with dancers. Other girls prefer to spend the time in walking about the campus or visiting their school mates in other rooms. Miss Headrick, social director of Edens Hall, supervised a very delightful social program this year. The first event was a real "spooky" Hallowe'en party. During the evening ghostly figures felt their way up and down mysterious stairs, winding finally to the dark attic, where terrible tales were told. At Christmas, the reception hall was crowded with "kiddies," who were entertained with a Christmas tree, candy and presents. Three dances were given by the girls. The first, attended by about seventy-five couples, was in the nature of a Valentine dance. St. Patrick, in his glory of green, lead the second affair, given in his honor during the month of March. The May Day Ball, on April 26, was a great success. It was, perhaps, the most attractive of all in decorations. Pastel tulips furnished the motif for the invitations, programs, and decorations. On Washington's Birthday, those girls who stayed for the vacation, enter-tained those who did not dance and so did not care to attend the mixer at the Armory. About 150 were present. Many other enjoyable affairs of an informal nature are on the calendar, such as making fudge in the kitchenette, or inviting two or three girls to share a box from home. On the whole, the Edens Hall girl feels herself privileged in her opportunities for daily contact with more than a hundred other girls living dormitory life. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 125 ---------- One Hundred Twenty-fve ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 126 ---------- Philomethean Chemistry Annex, November, 1923. An earthquake, accompanied by a severe electrical display, rocked the Philo-methean Literary Society headquarters while they were in the midst of an initiation last night. The tremors began about 8:30 and continued at frequent intervals for two hours, thus instilling in the heart of each candidate proper respect for the powers that be. The damage consisted of five pairs of black and blue shins, received by falling downstairs blindfolded; one case eggs, broken while in transit; and a wrecked keg of cider. Several gross doughnuts were also missing. Mr. Philippi's Home, November 24, 1923. The members of the Philo Club were entertained in honor of the sixteenth birthday anniversary of the club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi. It proved to be one of the most delightful events of the season. The rooms were ef-fectively decorated in green and white, the club colors. The main diversion of the evening was the Philo crap game in which Roswell Oliver took high honors. "Tarzan" received the "booby prize." Following a short program of music and speeches, refreshments were served. Considerable ceremony accompanied the cutting of the birthday cake. Miss Headrick laid claim to being the oldest Philo present, while the honor of being the best looking went to President Fisher. Eighty invitations were issued for the party. One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 127 ---------- Chemistry Annex, February 7, 1924. Seven persons were killed and eight terribly mutilated in a head-on collision between the Philo initiation committee and a score of candidates last night. Three escaped with minor injuries, although it is expected they will bear scars for life. Those in charge of the committee were absolutely heartless in the treatment of their victims. Of those who managed to escape from the collision, some were electro-cuted, some poisoned, and still others smothered. Later News Note-- Reports today state that dead and injured in the collision last evening have been revived by the wonderful discovery of T. Cederberg, but do not state who discovered him. It now appears that the chief damage was done to Buns and Dogs. Auditorium, March 7, 1924. A Chautauqua running for "five nights" was presented to the student body of B. S. N. S. in their assembly this morning by the Philo Club. Features of the pro-gram were the Sing Sing Musical Troupe; Scara Moustache, a Roumanian dra-ama; Miss Ate A. Board, in crayon sketching; and Mine. Crowder-Miller in a reading, "The River of Stars." The White Man's Glee Club, scheduled for the fifth night, did not appear, due to a previous engagement with the instructors. Little Gym, March 13, 1924. The Philo Club won the basketball championship of B. S. N. S. by defeating the Rural Life Club, 38-11, in a roughly contested game. The Philos had previously defeated the Thespians, 20-17, and Rural Lifers, 27-21. This victory leaves the Philos with a clean slate and gives them the right to represent B. S. N. S. in the national conference for the propogation of cruelty to basketball players. P. S.-This happened last night. EDITORIALS To Mr. Phillippi, our club sponsor, who has helped us, guided us, inspired us to our best efforts, and has been one of us, we owe and give our sincerest thanks. As we view the club activities for the past year, we feel that our time has been profitably and pleasantly spent. We look forward with sorrow to the time when we will leave it all behind, but we know that pleasant memories will be our portion to carry with us. Normalstad, May, 1924. Many tired but happy Philos resumed their various school burdens Monday after a most delightful week-end party at the recently completed lodge at Normal-stad. Marguerite Saddler is still sore. She tried to hike around the lake but got tired and took a short cut across it. She fell over a log. Dorothy threatens to sue Gordon if she catches cold. Cause-overturned canoe. Genevieve says that Lake Whatcom will never be popular as a summer resort. The water is too fresh. One Hundred Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 128 ---------- y Thespian Club Yes, I should say they did initiate me, and after I had been shot, had eaten "cat meat with fur on," had drunk "carbolic acid," and had bobbed for blindfolded apples, I felt that if ever I was to be a Thespian, I surely was one at the conclusion of such an evening. Later, though, when I signed my name to the roll book, I knew that I was a Thespian for always, in spirit as well as in name. We elected Horace Walker to be our first quarter's president and under his worthy rule the club had several most excellent meetings. The plays, "The Pot- Boilers" and "He Said 'N She Said," were worked out by groups of members and then presented in the regular meetings for appreciation and study of their dra-matic possibilities. The lives of the authors were also studied. We found out, one night,-by what means we are not at liberty to disclose-that our honored and revered sponsor, Mr. Raskopf, knows "What Every Woman Knows." He confessed that he should not have revealed the secret to such an exuberant group, however, when a few days later, it was rather publicly noised about that a member of this austere faculty knew what every woman knows. Even so,--but lie does. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 129 ---------- Once a Thespian, Always a Thespian. That means more than words can express to the Thespians who are alumni of the school. Since the spirit of the club is not only to develop loyalty and co-operation among the present members but also to tie the old members to the present group, the annual Home- Coming Ban-quet is one of the biggest features of the club year. On the evening of February 22, in the beautifully decorated dining rocm of the Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed the re-newal of friendships with those of our numbers who are out in the field. The program of music, readings, and toasts will long be remembered. To our president the second quarter, Miss Eleanor Whisner, is due the grateful appreciation of the members for her capable supervision of the banquet plans. Initiation night is not the only time that brings hardship to members, as a certain two of the club will testify. Having enjoyed their birthdays the day pre-vious, the two were most unsuspicious of the treat which was in store for them. But the excitement of one of their friends was intense as she rose to suggest that, upon adjournment, we attempt to celebrate the event fittingly. When the doors were well-barred, we proceeded to do so, trying as best we could to subdue our own mirth and drown the shrieks of the victims. Don Tunstal, succeeding to office the third quarter, came to the chair at a busy and eventful time. The play, "The Flitter Mouse," was particularly well received by the club when it was presented one evening by the members, in the auditorium. The Treasure Island Dance was another affair on the calendar which was enjoyed by the club members. The rooms were transformed into dimly lighted ghostly nooks, suggestive of the pirates' dens. Chests of gold made admirable resting places for the ladies, who were hardly recognizable in their red, yellow and green head-pieces. Musty old maps revealed the places of meeting for the pirates. To promote the construction of a lodge at Normalstad, the club presented the three-act play, "A Successful Calamity." One Hundred Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 130 ---------- Normal Drama Club The Normal Drama Club was organized in the spring of 1923 for the purpose of keeping alive the spoken drama and to present to the student body each quarter some of the best plays. The interests of the club are closely allied with those of the Drama League of America and the Little Theatre Movement. In the near future, it is hoped, membership in the Drama League may be granted. Mr. Victor Hoppe is sponsor to the club and directs all the plays. The members assist in the production of each program by handling the various business transactions, the stage, and all of the advertising, in this way gaining valuable experience. Eligibility is determined by a tryout each fall before a faculty committee headed by Mr. Hoppe, or by participation in a previous Normal production. One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 131 ---------- In the summer quarter the club presented Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Greenwood Theatre on the campus. The play was given two nights, and the audience for each night was estimated at two thousand people. The most pleasing characteristics of the performances were the lovely simplicity of the play and the effective natural setting. The cast directed by Victor H. Hoppe, was as follows: LORIS BARKER . .

By way of variety the club decided to give three one-act plays, widely diverse in character, in place of the usual big play. The first of the group, "Three Pills in a Bottle," by Rachel Field, is a fantastic drama which quaintly portrays the souls of people in contrast to their exteriors.

The prize was given for the best play picturing some phase of American life. The play had a very successful New York run, and has recently been movieized. It is an ironic comment on the petty feuds of modern family life, and shows the barren ugliness of existence in a small New England town. It is a miniature "Main Street' of the Atlantic sea-board, narrowed down to farm life.

One Hundred Thirty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 135 ---------- Rural Life Club On the first Thursday evening of the school year, 1923-24, there came together, in response to a call on our bulletin board, seventeen of our sturdy Trail-Blazers who had returned from field and forest, from sea and busy city to continue their study at the Normal-by-the-Sea. The joy of reunion, the relating of adventures, the messages from those who have taken their places along the highways and by-ways of life, featured the first meeting of the ninth year of our existence as an organization in this institution to which we again declared our loyalty as we affirmed our determination to carry on -faithful to the purposes of our club. The aims of the Rural Life Club, as set forth in our constitution, are to pro-mote interest in and provide opportunity for literary programs; to make a study of and to present programs and other activities appropriate to the communities into which its members may go as teachers; to provide social and recreational opportuni-ties for its members; and to support and in every way further the interests of the Washington State Normal School at Bellingham. In pursuance of the realization of these aims, the club has spent a busy, a happy, and, we believe, a serviceable year. The literary efforts of the club have been confined to our regular literary programs and contributions to all-school and assembly programs in co-operation with the literary clubs of the school. It is our purpose to present programs that are educational, interesting and entertaining; typical programs for community use. One Hundred Thirty- five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 136 ---------- Our club is a literary club, but we have not forgotten to play. Long will be remembered the delightful Christmas party to which we were bidden by "Ye Goode Patron Saints," Dr. and Mrs. Miller. The attractive drawing rooms with the wealth of Christmas trimmings, the Christmas trees, the fireplace with the yule log continuously blazing, the season's cheer, the appropriate festivities, the heap of gifts from Santa Claus' pack, the delicious culinary dainties, and finally the Christ-mas carols sung with the fervor of joy and gratitude made it a never-to-be-forgotten event in the lives of us all. The annual Heart Party and club banquet were characterized by the novel decorations, splendid entertainment, delicious refreshments, and good times. The competitive games and get-together dinners and congenial fellowship with other clubs added not a little to our social pleasures. Every true Rural Lifer is an ardent trail-blazer, a devotee of the great out-of-doors, hence hikes, informational and recreational excursions, form a part of our year's program. The annual picnic concludes the social part of our happy year with one jubilant, riotous evening around the festive board. We have endeavored to leave upon the campus evidence of our love of nature and our devotion to our alma mater. An evening that contributed both work and pleasure, a few blisters and many hearty appetites, was that of our pilgrimage to the summit of Sehome planting poppy, foxglove, larkspur, marigold, hollyhocks, and bachelor buttons along the Sehome highway. Certainly there were eats and a camp-fire. It doesn't require a vivid imagination to complete the description. We have started a maple grove, eventually to include all varieties of maple trees, at a suit- able spot near the highway and, in co-operation with Dr. Miller, we plan this year to place a California Redwood on this campus. The Rural Life Club has been most fortunate in the addition of honorary members. Dr. Miller has long been a member of this club. At a picnic held at Whatcom Falls soon after President Fisher's arrival in Bellingham, the club was most happy to receive President Fisher and Mrs. Fisher and to add their names to our roll. Miss Orpha McPherson and Miss Sundquist have also honored us with their membership. The club is very grateful. to Miss Keeler and Mr. Heckman for their hearty co-operation and interest in all the club activities. We feel that it is due to our capable sponsors and the excellent club spirit that the Rural Life Club is fulfilling its purpose. One Hundred Thirty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 137 ---------- W Club The "W" Club is rather an infant organization, this being the second year of its life. It is an honorary organization of lettermen, membership being limited to winners of the official "W" in any of the four major sports. Its aims are of the highest, always striving to maintain and increase the ath-letic standards of the school. It'boosts anything which develops the athletic spirit, clean competition, good fellowship, and ideals of true manhood. The "W" Club has a social side of its existence, as well. It plans quarterly banquets and sponsors a club dance each quarter. The "W" Club Dance, given in the second week of the spring quarter, was a very delightful social affair, and may be considered a complete success by those in charge. The officers for the year, who were responsible for the strenuous initiation through which the fifteen new members had to pass in February, were: RANDOLPH DAWSON President ED HANNAH Vice-President DEWEY BOWMAN Secretary-Treasurer One Hundred Thirty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 138 ---------- Y.

W. C. A. Much has been done the past year under the leadership of our president, Rebecca Arnell, and Miss Sperry, Chairman of the Advisory Board. School began late in the fall, so we could not send each new girl a bouquet, as has been our custom for many years; however, we did meet a few trains and welcome some of the new girls. One Hundred Thirty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 139 ---------- One of the most pleasing social events of the year was the Y. W. C. A. reception held at Eden's Hall at the beginning of the fall term for the students and faculty. This was the first opportunity for all to meet and get acquainted. The room was beautifully and artistically decorated for the occasion. A pleasing program of readings, music and a skit was given. The Meetings Committee has done splendid work in securing speakers for the Thursday meetings. Some of the most prominent speakers were Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor of China, who also spoke in the assembly; Mrs. Andrews of India; Mrs. Webster of Africa; Mr. Vendymer, and Miss Heller, the Y. W. C. A. travelling secretary. Mrs. Campbell and Dr. Sattler, who are prominent Bible teachers of Seattle, were here January 17-20 for the annual Bible Institute, and gave us eight inspirational messages. Dr. Sattler's messages on "The Cross" were vividly por-trayed, and Mrs. Campbell's talks on "The Personal Spiritual Life" left a deep and lasting impression. Nine Bible classes have been conducted during the year under the leadership of Miss Sperry, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Gunderson, Rev. McPhail and Mrs. Vaughan. The Book of Acts has been studied. There has been an enrollment of one hundred and fifty and an average attendance of seventy-five. Kathryn Harrison, Gertrude Flannigan, and Harold McTaggart represented our school at the International Student Volunteer Convention, held at Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays. We have four signed-up volunteers and at least ten others who are contemplating a place in the mission field as their life work. Beside the opening reception there have been several other social events. A delightful Christmas Member party was given in the Domestic Science rooms at Christmas time, and a Valentine Heart party at the home of Mrs. Simpson on High Street, on Valentine's Day. As we go to press, "Ye Aulde Deestrict Schule" was given in the auditorium May 9 and was a splendid success. A picnic at the lake and a breakfast on Sehome are in pleasant anticipation before the -close of the year. In the month of April Mrs. Mathes opened her home for a pipe organ recital, which she gave under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., to the young women of the school. New officers were elected for the coming year during the spring quarter. Frances Denniston has served faithfully as president since Rebecca Arnell, our former president, left at the end of the winter quarter to attend the University. Sybil Tucker has been her able assistant as vice-president, Hulda Nelson has served as secretary, and Vivian Holcomb as treasurer.. Wilma Kohn is our repre- sentative in the Women's League. New chairmen were appointed by the new president for the committees. The Social Service Committee has visited many lonely and sick girls and has sent more than a hundred bouquets. One of the finest meetings of the year was the Sunrise Service held on Sehome Hill, Easter morning. Messages were given by Mary Thomas and Adrie Ault. About one hundred and thirty were present and enjoyed the service. The Y. W. C. A. has been an inspiration for Christian work for many girls and in the past seven years twenty-two girls have gone to different mission fields. Among these are the following: Maude Whipple, China; Mrs. Edna Whipple Gish, China; Bergliot Evenson, China; Susie Claussen, China; Mary Millican, China; Nina Gemmel, China; Clara Gordon, Korea; Lois Henderson, Korea; Mary Campbell, India; Emma Rexroth, India; Abbie Johnson Smith (deceased), India; Mabel Jordan, Siam; Ethel Hunt, Burma; Esther Nelson, Burma. One Hundred Thirty- nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 140 ---------- W. A. A. The Women's Athletic Association, a comparatively new club, was organized by Miss Long in the fall of 1922. The purpose of this club is to promote high physical efficiency among women of the Normal school, to promote college spirit by developing inter-class athletics, to provide recognition of athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship. To become a member of this organization, one must obtain at least a "C" grade in all classes, and earn the required 100 points. These points may be earned under four heads; namely, sports, health, general, and athletics. There are many incen-tives for members in this club. By earning 200 points, a girl is entitled to her class numeral. If she earns 400 additional points, she receives a letter B. Last and best of all, by earning 1000 points, a girl receives a white rough neck sweater. Every girl strives for this and sets sweater as her goal. After two years of work and ac- cumulating points, a few girls received sweaters this spring. This year the W. A. A. presented their second annual attraction. The success of this entertainment was largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Frank and the committee in charge. The proceeds of these yearly entertainments are used to purchase the sweaters earned by the girls. They also have many good times and hikes. Each quarter there is a schedule of hikes which the girls follow insofar as the weather permits. They stand for good sportsmanship, good health, and good times.

Several new members joined the club roll and every one of them has had every reason to be glad his name is included. Many social affairs have been given, including the entertainment of the St. Martin's football team and the Vikings after the game played here November 10. One Hundred Forty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 142 ---------- Sourdough Club There are two words in common use in Alaska. One is Sourdough, and the other is Cheechako. Robert Service has immortalized these in his volume of poems called "Songs of a Sourdough" and "Ballads of a Cheechako." Old residents of the North describe a Sourdough as a man who came before the ice in the fall, and saw it go out in the spring; in other words, one who has been in for one winter. It is said that in olden days in every old prospector's cabin on a shelf behind the stovepipe could be seen a bowl which contained sour dough from the previous baking. This was used as yeast to be mixed in with the dough at the next baking. When he used any he would replace it with the same quantity of fresh dough, sure to be soured before he baked bread again. The Cheechako is a Chinook word that means greenhorn, and every prospector until he had been on the Klondike for a year was so regarded. The first thing the Cheechako was supposed to learn was to make sourdough bread, and he usually would borrow some of this yeast from some old-timer down the trail until he had his own sour dough, and so earned his graduate title. The aim of the club is to bring together all Alaskans for social gatherings and to make Alaska familiar to other students. The officers of the club were: FIRST QUARTER IMOGENE BENEDICT . . . . . .

It was a grand reunion of resi-dents of Alaska. Twenty-three persons, including the honorary members, were present. The banquet room was attractively decorated with two hundred beautiful hand-made Indian baskets which were loaned by Mr. and Mrs. Crimmins, formerly of Alaska. A feature of the refreshments were bread and rolls made from wheat grown and milled in the Fairbanks district, furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Shiels. A toast was given by the president, after which each member told from what part of Alaska he came. Mr. M. J. O'Conner, a pioneer Alaskan, spoke on "Tc Alaska and Back." He paid an eloquent tribute to that territory and its sterling pioneers, telling of its scenery, its struggles, its lack of transportation, its big game, and its homes. Elizabeth Bennett related a catchy story about a cultured Southern girl, who developed into an Alaskan Sourdough. Archie W. Sheils, head of the Alaska department of the Pacific American Fisheries, discussed Alaska from the educational standpoint, as the Commissioner of Education had featured this on the Harding tour. Miss Watson led the club song. During the roll call, Philip Crimmins appeared in native Alaskan costume. Mr. Sheils dwelt on the work of the American girl in educational activities in Alaska, commending her for her alertness, energy, and perseverance. He gave a summary of what outside capital has done and is trying to do to build up industries in Alaska, and drew a glowing picture of its possibilities. The story of the terri- torial school was given, but stress was placed on the native work as being more unique. "In Alaska, especially in the outlying districts, the government school teacher may be said to be an honest-to- goodness 'Jack of all trades.' Any of you, who may have read Mark Twain's book, 'The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,' will remember that 'Hank,' the Yankee, was a kind of an all around fixer, and when King Arthur offered to confer upon him any honor or title that he might select, he chose to be known as the 'boss.' Well, the government teachers in an outlying Alaska village may, I think, be truly styled, 'a twentieth century Hank,' and, like him, if they show the proper disposition to guide, rather than drive the native, they will soon find themselves in truth the 'boss.' To one who simply wants to be a teacher in the narrow schoolroom sense, my advice would be-keep away from a government teacher's position in Alaska, but for the one who really wants to do things, I know of no place where there is greater opportunity to make good. In the North the teacher must be ready to be a friend rather than a teacher."

You know our club was founded in September, 1916, and was called the "campus baby." Every year since we have had a lively turnout. Anyway, the name "Ohiyesa" means "winner. Well, we were out to win, the two of us. Prospects were dark, but we were especially fortunate in having the Misses Osborne, Brooks, and Lasley for sponsors. So, before the fall quarter was over, we had a lively bunch, the membership list being almost closed. During this quarter the club sold pie and cider each week at the Recreation Hour. Before the end of the quarter, Miss Leta Brooks gave an interesting talk on "My Impressions of New York." Just before vacation we had a Christmas tree with all the trimmings, and Mr. Marquis made a perfectly charm-ing Santa Claus. At one of our meetings during the quarter, Miss Adele Jones talked to us on "My Experiences Overseas During the War," and at another meeting Miss Olive Edens lectured to us on "Memories of Paris." We enjoyed these talks greatly. We were fortunate to have much musical talent in our club, and in January a girls' quartet was organized, Jeanie, Olga, Hildur and Grace being the members. Our annual banquet was held March 15 at 7:30, in the Tulip Room at the Hotel Leopold, with twenty-five members present. The banquet room was charmingly decorated with daffodils and ferns, carrying out our colors of green and gold. As you know, it is a tradition with our club to hold our annual banquet as near St. Patrick's Day as possible. It was a perfect success, and much credit is due Ardis and Nona, who spent hours working out the menu, program and scheme of decora- tions. President Eunice sang "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," and Jeanie sang "Violets." After the banquet was over, we sang and danced until late. It was at this banquet that we decided upon our future policy in regard to keeping in touch with the club and with each other. So remember our annual re-union and banquet here next year, Peggy. There will be a crowd of alumns back, and we expect high times. And whatever you do, don't forget to write. Yours, DOT. o° ,0 One Hundred Forty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 146 ---------- MARKUSON WATTS TUCKER THOMAS The Women's League In order "to strengthen the spirit of loyalty and good fellowship among women students; to develop co-operation between the student body and the administrative officers of the school; to provide a means by which the women of the school may express opinions on matters of interest to them; to encourage high ideals of character and social standards," the Women's League of the Washington State Normal at Bellingham was established. It is to our dean, Miss Adele M. Jones, that we give our sincerest thanks for her efforts which were so instrumental in affecting the organization of the league. Miss Jones, who has always had the good of the students at heart, has been the inspiration of the girls in working out plans for the constitution. Under her leader-ship, a committee of ten girls, elected for that purpose, framed the constitution. Miss Constance Markuson, having the honor of being the first president, comes to the position with an already excellent experience in girls' club work. With the co-operation of the girls of the school, the league came to a position of prominence before the close of the school year. The legislative power of the league is vested in the Commission, which is composed of the captains of the twenty groups, and also of a representative from the Y. W. C. A. and one from the Women's Athletic Association. The groups just mentioned are the smaller units into which the league is divided with the purpose of giving each girl an opportunity to express her own desires and opinions. One of the loveliest social events sponsored by the league was the Mother's Tea. This was given in the beautifully arranged drawing room of Edens Hall on the afternoon of May 11. Since not all out-of-town girls could bring their own mothers, many house mothers and friends of the school were invited. Small corsages were presented to the guests. The program of readings and music was given at intervals, so that every person might hear a portion of it. Another new and delightful social event of the year, which, it is hoped, will become a custom, was the entertainment of the girl graduates of the Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools. Many little boys and girls appeared in sunbonnets, straw hats, and pig-tails at the Kid's Party for the little girls of the school. Edens Hall was "butifully" decorated and the ladies in charge told the very "bestest" fairy stories. Happy squeals and shouts greeted the refreshments designed to delight childish hearts.

A WISE CHANGE A benevolent old lady was walking along the street when she observed a beggar. She stopped and looked with compassionate sympathy at the man, and then placed a coin in his hand. "My poor fellow," she said, "here is a quarter for you. Goodness gracious, it must be dreadful to be lame! But I think it would be worse to be blind." "Yer right, lady," agreed the beggar. "When I was blind I was always getting counterfeit money."-The Continent. THE CLASH He: "Wonderful red sunset." She: "Yes, but I shouldn't have worn this shade of pink." PLAY POST OFFICE She was bidding her lover a fond farewell, for he was going on a prolonged business trip around the world. Tearfully she clung to him and asked: "My dear Adolf, will you be true to me when you are far away? Promise me that you will write to me from every town you visit !" And as he gathered her in his arms, he cried: "O Ada, is it love that prompts you to say this? Ada, swear to me, do you really love me-or are you merely collecting foreign postage stamps?"-Calgary Daily Herald. HIS LANDS AND ESTATES It was at a fashionable wedding. The bridegroom had no visible means of support save his father, who was rich. When he came to the stage of the service where he had to repeat: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow! !" his father said in a whisper that could be heard all over the church: "Heavens! There goes his bicycle !"-Tit-Bits. HIS HABIT Said he, nervously, "What on earth will your father say when he knows we're engaged ?" "0!" she replied, "he'll be simply delighted-simply delighted. He always is."-Tit-Bits. Mr. Lawson writes on the board in History 14 C, "General Aims." Herbert Philippi: In what war was Aims a general?

AN EMBARRASSING MISTAKE Dorothy Leslie was in a crowl who wanted to adopt a new "line." It was decided that "keen" and "rare" were used too often, so "eager" and "underdone" were substituted. Soon after, Dorothy was invited out to a home for dinner. On sitting down to the table she remarked, "Th:s certainly is an underdone treat." EDENS HALL TRAGEDY Eve: "Have you heard the terrible news from Edens Hall?" Adam: "Why, no, what is it?" Eve: "Evelyn Gustafson has T. B."

Were you dancing with him? Polly Parrot: My gosh, woman, what have you done to your hair? Marie Le Compte: "Why, it's shingled. Polly: Yep, yep. That's right. Most wooden roofs are. "This guy sure has a crush on me," murmurs the upholstery of the sofa in the Edens Hall beau parlor, as George Curtis sits down. Mr. Salisbury: What is the culture epoch theory? Harold Crawford (wearily): I pass. Mr. Salisbury: You're mistaken. You flunk. She: I'm telling you for the last time, that you can't kiss me. He: Ah, I knew you'd weaken eventually! Mary: Is your room-mate considerate? Mabel: I should say she is. Why she doesn't come home at night for fear of waking me. POORLY TRAINED Tarzan: Will that watch tell time? Don: No, you have to look at it. O MISTER! She frowned on him and called him Mr., Because in fun he'd merely kissed her And then for spite The following night, This naughty Mr. kissed her sister.

NO WORDS WASTED A teacher in Illinois set for her pupils the task of writing a composition about the Sangamon River, which flows through the town, and told them to say at least three things about the river. The shortest and pithiest paper was handed in by a youngster who had written: The Sangamon River: I have lived near it. I have skated over it. I have fallen into it.-California Christian Advocate. AS CONGRESS MEETS The teacher was giving the class a lecture on "gravity." "Now, children," she said, "it is the law of gravity that keeps us on this earth." "But please, teacher," inquired one small child, "how did we stick on before the law was passed?"-The Tatler (London). A BACHELOR'S VISION A man visiting an asylum saw a patient sitting on a rocking-horse. "That's a bad case," said his guide. "He often sits on that horse for hours, and we cannot get him to move. He was jilted by a girl." Continuing his tour, the visitor arrived at a padded cell where a man was rushing about and banging his head against the cushions. "Won't he hurt himself ?" inquired the visitor. "O, no," replied the guide: "these are pneumatic cushions." "What has brought him to this ?" "O, he married the girl who jilted the man you saw on the rocking-horse." As GOSSIP GOES "My dear, have you heard the latest about the Smythe woman? Don't stop me if you have !"-Life.

"Bring me a double portion of ma-jongg."--Country Gentleman. WITH THE CUBS Many remarkable statements find their way into our daily newspapers. One of the most astonishing was made a few weeks ago by a paper published in the Middle West. A bad fire had swept the city, and among the buildings that had burned was a large icehouse. The account in the newspaper read: "Miller's icehouse also caught fire, and though a determined effort was made to save the building from the flames, it burned to the ground. With it twenty thousand tons of ice were reduced to ashes."-The Youth's Companion. TO BE PONDERED OVER There would have been no occasion for Sherman's remark if Barnum hadn't been right.-The Kansas Legionnaire. A LONG COURTSHIP Mistress: "You look a wreck today, Mary. Have you been sitting up all night again reading a novel?" Mary: "Yes, mum; it was such a beautiful story, but they didn't get married till nearly four o'clock this morning !"-London Opinion. QUITE SO "What's the best your car will do?" "Run up a garage bill." MAH JONGG FIRST There has just come the story of the maid who went to the lady of the house and said she feared she would have to find another place. "But why?" her alarmed employer asked. "Because," the maid replied, "I fear your husband is losing his mind. I found him on his hands and knees in the living room, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was looking for the East Wind."

A BIG SURPRISE Emily: "What's the use of studying so hard, Rebecca?" Rebecca: "I want to surprise Miss Cummins in the test tomorrow." Emily: "Oh, well, why don't you hide behind the desk and yell 'Boo!' at her ?" SQUELCHED Stanford Clinton was seen standing in the hall talking over a business matter of the Seattle Club with two bobbed-haired girls. Clyde Cole: "Nine rahs for the Champion Fusser of the Reed Runts!" Stanford (scornfully): "The humor from Day's Dump is not in order at present." ANOTHER FORD JOKE "Why are school teachers like Ford cars?" "Because they give the most service for the least money." IN NATURE STUDY Miss Sundquist: "On a cold, snowy day what do you notice on every hand?" Bright Student: "Gloves!" Day's Hall had a Thomas cat Which warbled like Caruso; Slim Wagner threw a baseball bat, And now Thomas doesn't do so. MAY HARP HIGHER Bernice: "Mabel always finds something to harp on." Nellie: "Yes, I only hope she'll be as fortunate in the next world."

His host met him at the train and took him to his home for dinner. The good wife had been busy all day preparing for the distinguished guest and had a splendid dinner prepared. Much to her disappointment the professor said that he never ate just before speaking as it would interfere with the working of his mind. The lady bundled her husband off with the professor to the lecture hall and busied herself clearing away the elaborate dinner. On the return of her husband she asked what sort of an address the professor had made. He replied, "Well, I don't see but he might just as well have eaten a hearty dinner." SWEDE HUMOR An autoist, in great distress, Was mopping his bald head Before a ranch-house--"Have you got A monkey-wrench?" he said. The rancher tall, from Sweden's shore, Did open wide his eyes,- "She bane a cow-ranch," answered he, In disgusted surprise. NOT ALWAYS Georgette (at a sorority dance): "Haven't I seen you somewhere else?" George: "Probably, I haven't always been here." STAGE DIRECTIONS The choir were rehearsing a new setting of "Onward Christian Soldiers" for the Sunday School anniversary. At verse three the choirmaster said, "Now, remember, only the trebles sing down to the gates of hell, and then you all come in!" THE GOOD OLD DAYS "This song about bananas makes me sick," said the Foolish Old Gentleman. "In my day we had songs like 'Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay' and 'Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow- wow,' that had some sense to 'em."-New York World. Employer: "Are you sure women have no charms for you?" Burly Applicant: "No, sir, none at all." Employer: "All right, I'll hire you. We want you to read meters in sorority houses."-Lemon Punch. Jay: "What do you say to a tramp in the woods ?"

She: "I've got to take a make-up quizz." He: "You look as if you could pass it." Dorothy: "I got a new pair of shoes today. They are calf-skin." Elizabeth: "Oh, I thought he said they were veal-skin." Two students during a game were speaking of one of the basketball men. First: "He looks awfully nice when he's dressed up, don't you think so?" Second: "I don't know, I never saw him with his clothes on." One Hundred Eighty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 183 ---------- WHY ADOPT THE RICE SYSTEM OF BUSINESS PENMANSHIP 1-It is no experiment. The results excel others. 2-The system in both movements and characters is better classified than any other. 3-The system, without doubt, has more teaching devices and aids for teachers than ever before presented in any work on writing. 4-The author's personal work in Bellingham State Normal and in city and county institutes is a most vital consideration. -- For Further Particulars Address W.

This one is credited to W. L. George, "the only living specimen of genus homo who confesses that he understands women": "The cloud that tried to stab their happiness was only a false rumor whose bitter taste could not splinter the radiance, nor dim the effer-vescence of their joy." Mr. Rice (in penmanship): "The next letter we take up is capital I. The boys may find this difficult but, of course, it comes natural to the girls to make I's." Miss Sperry: "That reminds me of Adam and Eve Driven from the Garden by Michael Angelo." Ethel: "Mildred has a high color, hasn't she?" Erma: "Yes, the dear girl. That brand costs ten dollars a box." SOCIALIZED RECITATION Mr. Appleton (English I): "Don't you think that last sentence in your theme was rather superfluous?" Mr. Sturman: "I think it's all superfluous." Mr. Kibbe: "Most teachers dread the first day of teaching-and it usually is dreadful." Mr. Fowler (English I): "I would like to have a private conference with you. What periods have you off?" Hoffman: "I'm off-wait 'til I look at my schedule. I'm off at eleven every day-no, let me see. I'm off-" Mr. Fowler: "Yes, perhaps you are a little off." Wanda: "Oh, Dinah, have you a thumb tack?" Dinah: "No, dear, only a finger nail." BETTER THAN TRADING STAMPS Small Boy: "Father wants six-pennorth of ham, please; and would you wrap it up in the continuation of the story as you sent him the first chapter of with the sausage yesterday?" AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE "Where is the man who keeps this restaurant ?" asked a disgusted patron. "He's gone out to lunch," replied the waiter.

The organization is still in a state of development by which the various related courses are being brought into closer contact, forming a more effective working unit. Technique, the methods in teaching; Observation, the watching of the procedure in a schoolroom situation; and Teaching, the guided practice, the actual experience, are integral parts; but contributing more and more are the methods, the philosophy, and the subject matter obtained in the other departments. Just as the Training School Department is endeavoring to train the Normal students for the best possible service in the communities to which they go, so it is also endeavoring to give the best possible advantages to the children in the Train-ing School. There are two all-school activities, the assembly and the Junior Messenger. Typical of the spirit of the school assembly was the Thanksgiving program in which every grade had an active part. The Junior Messenger staff is composed of eighth grade pupils, with reports assigned to the other grades, who gather the contributions. Selections are made so that the paper will give an inter-esting account of the type of activities being carried on in the grades. Particularly noteworthy is the interest of the children and the great amount of the responsibility which they take in the planning and developing of the projects. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 23 ---------- Education MILLER, KIBBE, KEELER, KOLSTAD, SALISBURY Work of the Department of Education is focused sharply on needs of pros-pective teachers. While practical at every point, at the same time the attempt is made to develop concepts that will constitute a progressive philosophy of education. Students are expected to develop that attitude of mind in which they think through the situations presented to them and see their relation to the schoolroom needs. The work which the department covers may be classed under four heads. Educational Psychology includes instruction in elementary psychology, courses in the specific problems of childhood and of adolescence, and electives covering such material as the psychology of the subjects and applied psychology. History and principles of education covers the field of philosophy and the history of education both in America and of the world in general. Administration and measurements offer a wide variety of practical material dealing with school law, school manage-ment, educational measurements, and more specific school problems. Individual study may also be undertaken. In all courses the student is brought into contact with the most progressive educational ideas and the best authorities on educational subjects. The work is closely correlated with the work of the Training School with its practical illustrations. Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 24 ---------- English and Speech FOWLER, SPERRY, HUSSEY, EDENS, VAUGHAN, HOPPE, MADDEN The General Literature course is one of the new first-year requirements of the revised curriculum. The course continues throughout the year, with study of a different literary period each quarter. The divisions are the Ancient Period, with such works as the Bible, Homer and Greek mythology studied; the Middle Period, of which such authors as Goethe, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Moliere are represen-tative; and the Modern Period represented by Hugo, Emerson, Ibsen, Tolstoi, Whitman, and others. The general aim of the course is to familiarize the students with some of the dominant literary personalities and their productions of ancient times and the present day. Besides the methods courses, the department offers a wide range of electives covering the various types of literature: the drama, essay, short story, and the novel, as well as courses in poetry, such as Browning and Shakespeare, and con-temporary writers are given. Elementary and advanced news writing courses are open to students who have had suitable training in writing and who are especially interested in journalism. Practical work is done in connection with the Weekly Messenger and the Klipsun. Under the Division of Speech numerous courses are offered in vocal training and dramatic interpretation. While Fundamentals of Expression is the only requirement on this side of the department, interesting courses in advanced work including presentation of plays are given. Debate, one of the important student activities, is sponsored here. Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 25 ---------- Librarj WILSON, GEORGE, FUNKHOUSER, NELSON The Library is a growing one. Al-ready considered the finest profession-al library in the Northwest, it is con-stantly being increased by the addition of new volumes. These new books are discriminately chosen with a view of offering the students the best and most comprehensive material possible in all fields of literature. While books of educational history, philosophy and method predominate, it is the belief of the library administration that the ex-tensive background obtainable by wide reading in all the other branches is invaluable in the training of the pro-gressive teacher. A very complete reference library and periodical room are maintained and are at the disposal of the students. The Juvenile Library, conducted in connection with the Training School, is most valuable in the actual contact which the students have with a chil-dren's library under working condi-tions. The children find the Library a source of worthwhile interest and much reference work is done through it. IN THE JUVENILE LIBRARY Bureau of Research SALISBURY, KOLSTAD The Bureau of Research is organized as a service bureau to the school. A division by itself, it is endeavoring to aid all the departments. During the year the bureau has undertaken work that has served the administration, the faculty, and the students. Data was gathered and prepared for presentation to the state legislators, and a Teaching-Rate scale devised. While these were more directly administrative, the Intelligence and Achievement tests given under the direction of the bureau and the development of a grading system are closely related to faculty and student activity. Objective tests, necessary in an institution of this size, are being devised by the members of the faculty and a chart is being adopted by which the scores made in the tests can be related to ability so as to give an index of the quality of effort each student is expending. The Bureau is also endeavoring to assist the student by individual guidance. Intelligence and achievement tests were also given in the Training School and the results used with other data in deciding placement. A more elastic, and therefore more effective, grading scheme was devised. Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 26 ---------- THE ORCHESTRA MEN'S DOUBLE QUARTETTE WOMEN'S DOUBLE QUARTETTE Music SLAWSON, NEWDALL, BROMLEY, WILLIAMS, RAYMOND, GARDNER New activities have been introduced in the Music Department and effective changes have been made in the old activities. While the required sight-singing and methods courses have remained practically the same, a number of new electives have been added. Among these is the course in Music Appreciation which is not a class in schoolroom method, but a true college culture course. It is the plan of the department to alternate other elective courses such as Harmony and History of Music. The activities of the former Clef Club have been divided and three new types of organizations developed. The MacDowell Club, organized for the study of the life and works of composers; the Double Quartets, Men's and Women's; with the Mixed Chorus, and Women's Chorus are serving adequately in developing and expressing the musical interests of the school. The Orchestra is not only an asset to the school and community programs, but also is valuable for the excellent training it affords those participating. The Training School supervision is an integral part of the department's work. The student teachers are under the direct and careful guidance of the mem- bers of the department who also do a great deal of the actual teaching. The Train-ing School Orchestra offers valuable opportunities in musical training for its members. Twenty-sIx ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 27 ---------- Industrial Arts HECKMAN, GUNTHER, RINDAL, BISSELL The Industrial Arts department has undergone some reorganization during the past year to the extent that definite courses for the elementary grades, primary, intermediate, and rural, have been outlined, and an additional instructor put in charge of that work. Courses in elementary woodwork, cabinet work, advanced cabinet work, wood finishing, elementary mechanical drawing, advanced mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, and industrial arts methods are offered for those students who wish to teach in the upper grades and the high schools. The Industrial Arts courses are organized to meet the specific needs of those students who are preparing themselves to teach this subject, although many stu-dents in other department of the schocl selected one or more of these courses as electives. The department emphasizes a careful study of tools, operations, materials, and processes that are used in providing the daily needs of life. To this end typical units are worked out to give the student an appreciation of the materials and processes that are used in supplying man's needs for food, clothing and shel-ter. Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 28 ---------- Art and Handwork DRUSE, STUART, JOHNSTON, BREAKEY The development of appreciation and the training of the students to carry this over into the communities to which they go are the greatest objectives of the art courses. "This faculty of appreciation has a moral value. Appreciation of the beautiful depends on right thinking and good judgment. Appreciation of the good depends on the same things, and we usually find them together." There is no predetermined capacity of appreciation, it is subject to develop-ment. Neither is it to be acquired by long study of the old masterpieces only. "It is not necessary that one should study the paintings of the past nor the works of the moderns in order, to appreciate whether or not a thing is artistic. If it pleases the senses, if pleasure exists in looking upon it, it is a thing of beauty in the eyes of the beholder, whether it be the handiwork of a master or of a novice. I have seen three or four roses in a bowl that provided a thrill fully as appreciable as the museum canvas of a master." Four methods courses are given: primary, intermediate, upper grade, and rural. These courses correlate with Industrial Arts in that they link up with Ap-plied Design. Prerequisite to these courses is the course in Drawing and Design, Color Harmony, Dress Design, and Home Furnishings, courses are especially inter-esting to those in the Home Economics department. In advanced work are courses in Commercial Art, Advanced Watercolor, Charcoal, Crayon, and Appreciation. The department has the facilities to offer a course in Hand Weaving to a limited number each quarter. Very lovely work has been done. Many avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the fine Basketry courses. Twenty- eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 29 ---------- Foreign Language BEARDSLEY While recognizing and emphasizing as ever the cultural value of the study of Foreign Languages the general trend of the times is being followed in mapping out definite routes in the work in order to attain definite results. Prominent among the courses offered are those in Phonetics for the training of the muscles in voice placing and in acquiring an accurate pronunciation by observing fixed rules; the Phonograph for training the ear and the understanding and as an aid in acquiring the proper rhythm in perfecting pronunciation; a course in Verb Review for the purpose of systematizing and unifying the grammatical work previously taken. These are all tools necessary to train the ear, eye, and understanding of one who would really study a language. This work is followed by a Rapid Translation course for those who would sacrifice an appreciative study of the language to the ability and power to grasp quickly and easily the thought of foreign texts; by Literature Courses taken for their cultural value to give first-hand insight into the sources from which our most gifted writers have drawn their inspiration and ideals; and by courses in Compositicn and Conversation with some one of the tourist cities as a background. The Social Science Department WILLIAMS, BEVER, HUNT, ARNTZEN, LAWSON The Social Science Department is attempting to contribute to the best of its ability toward the goal of efficient teacher-training not only as a department, but each field within its scope believes it has some distinctive contribution to make to the cultural and professional life of the teacher. The field of history, under the guiding principles of continuity and development, gives an intelligent understand-ing of those human activities, decisions, and achievements which lie behind our present-day institutions and problems. The field of sociology throws a clear light upon the aim of education by pointing out that human nature is second nature socially acquired, and illuminates the methods of education by the study of the effects of social contacts. The study of political science seeks to develop in the student, and to enable him to impart, a sense of individual rights and responsibili-ties as a citizen and a realization of the significance of, and respect for, law as a means of social control. Geography makes its contribution by giving an under-standing of earth conditions and natural resources as a material basis of social de- velopment, by showing relationships which exist between natural environment and the distribution, characteristics, and activities of man. The distinctive contribution of economics to the school curriculum is the understanding it gives of the processes by which we get a living. Living together within a democracy will be furthered if the people contribute an intelligent part in the guidance of its processes. This is the purpose of the study in this particular field. At present the department's most distinctive offering is the nine-credit course in "Introduction to Contemporary Civilization." This course, in conjunction with those in other departments, is an attempt to give a philosophy of life by surveying man's achievements in the fields of thought and action from earliest time to the present moment. Its aim is to unify and humanize the facts of life that will give an intelligent understanding of present-day civilization and its urgent problems. Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 30 ---------- IN THE HYGIENE LABORATORY Science PHILIPPI SUNDQUIST, ROSENE, HEADRICK, HUGHES. MEAD The first year course in science, covering three quarters' work, has proved a valuable and interesting study. Though the course is still to some extent in the experimental stage it now covers carefully selected topics from all branches of science with appropriate experimental work. The purposes of the course are to develop an appreciation of the scientific attitude of mind, to establish an under- standing of the contributions science has made, and to develop a sympathetic atti-tude toward scientific investigation. Included in the Science Department are the courses in Hygiene and First Aid, Chemistry and Physics, Nature Study and Biology. Courses in Botany and Zoology are offered at the summer session at the Friday Harbor Biological Station, where a wealth of material is found. Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 31 ---------- TRAINING SCHOOL COOKING CLASS THE CAFETERIA LINE Home Economics LONGLEY, FOWLER "How much have you gained? Where can I get vitamin C? Have you finished your poster? It's time for my glass of milk. Have you counted your calories to-day? Are you still overweight?" Such are the remarks heard in the halls since nutrition is a required course. While the aim of the Home Economics department is to teach health from the standpoint of foods, and to serve good food through the cafeteria, it still gives courses in clothing and cookery which may be taken as electives in the second year of the grammar-grade course or as a major subject in the third and fourth years. Practice teaching is also done in the Training School under supervision. Thirty-one I ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 32 ---------- OFFICE PRACTICE PENMANSHIP TYPING Mathematics and Business Education BOND, LOVEGREN, RICE, GRAGG The Department of Mathematics and Business Education offers courses in teachers' arithmetic for intermediate and for grammer grades, junior high school mathematics, trigonometry, analytic geometry, college algebra, calculus, typewriting and penmanship. It is possible for a student to work out a minor in upper grade mathematics or in junior high school mathematics. The department is specially stressing the concrete situations that offer opportunity for quantitative interpreta- ion. A course in typewriting is offered for those that can elect it. Many teachers feel the advantage of ability to do typewriting and are taking this opportunity to acquire it. Courses in both Palmer and Rice penmanship are offered to meet the require-ment of a credit in penmanship. The aim of these courses is to develop a practical style of writing. Thirty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 33 ---------- Phusical Education (Men) ELWOOD C. DAVIS In all the courses offered the aim of the department is the furthering of exercise through play rather than through the use of apparatus. Each man is encouraged to enter the right sort of athletic activity at least once a day. To this end a wide variety of courses is offered: gymnastics, gymnastic terminology, ap-paratus, corrective gymnastics, organization and administration, swimming, tennis, football, track coaching, theoretical boxing and wrestling, a Scoutmaster's course, and school athletic activities. Physical Education (Women) SKALLEY, FRANK, WEYTHMAN Physical training, recreation, swimming and athletics are woven together in the work of this department. Every student in school is engaged in some form of physical education each quarter. Six quarters of this work is required of all students for graduation, the required courses being elementary physical education, elementary folk dancing, plays and games, swimming, school room gymnastics, and festival dancing. Other courses offered are advanced physical education and sport, sections in volley- ball, baseball, basketball, hockey, and track. Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 34 ---------- Classes Senior Group . President EDGAR HANNAH Vice-President MRS. DE YARMAN Secretary- Treasurer . MRS. DODGE The school records show that some students of advanced college rating have been enrolled in this school from time to time ever since it was established. In the earlier years all of these students entered with advanced rating from other accred-ited colleges and universities, the law already providing, as it still does, that after a one-year course in this Normal school such students may be certified to teach in this state. Up to the present time no one has earned a four-year diploma from this school who has done all of his college work in this school. However, two, Arnold Kaas and Edgar Hannah, are now completing the four-year course with all their credits earned here. The first advanced three-year course was authorized by law in 1909, and a four-year course was not provided for until 1920. While an occasoinal three-year diploma has been issued in years past, it has not been until 1923 that advanced students have been much in evidence in the institution. Since 1923, however, sixty three-year diplomas and thirteen four-year diplomas have been granted, and at the present time fifty-two advanced students are enrolled in the school. Three definite advanced curricula are now being offered, and new major courses will be added in the near future. The curricula now provided are those in administration, junior high school, primary, intermediate, and rural. The classes organized for these courses are being limited largely to students of the advanced group in order that standards of scholarship commensurate to the advanced rating of the students may be maintained. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Miller the college group has organized and elected officers. Several luncheons have been enjoyed during the year at Edens Hall at which business sessions were held and programs consisting of music and addresses, the latter delivered by President Fisher and Dr. Miller outlining - the development program of the school and its practical purposes, were given.

ROSE GRAY The Normal-by-the-Sea was founded twenty-seven years ago. Since that date there have been many classes worthy of note, but none will be longer remembered than the memorable Sophomore class of '25. We claim that we have nobly done our bit for our Alma Mater, not only in scholarship, but in dramatics, in athletics, in debate, in journalism, and in other student activities. It does not necessitate a very close examination to show that a great majority of the students in prominent posi-tions around B. S. N. S. came from the ranks of the Sophomore class. Always a spirit of emulation will be incited in future classes at the sight of a certain cement block in front of the Normal boldly inscribed "1925." "We may pass on, but our work will live after us." Enough of this. Among the numerous admirable traits of a sophomore there is one prominent and inherent virtue-modesty. One of the most successful events of the year occurred January 23 when the Sophomore class gave a party. As usual, it was for the Sophomore class, and, of course, the customary postscript was attached to the notice: "All the men of the school are invited." A very entertaining program was given by some of the talented members. The novelty feature of the evening was ari orchestra made up of a group of grotesquely dressed "Soph" "bums." Some of the melodious instruments featuring in the orchestra were combs, tin horns, a stringless ukulele, and an alarm clock. After the program dancing and games were enjoyed. There are innumerable memories which we shall always take with us: the Marathon, the Sophomore Sneak, Normalstad Day, hikes to Lost Lake, bonfires at the Rocks, swimming parties at Squalicum, evenings at Baughman's, and last but not least, our quarter of student-teaching with all its accompanying anxiety. All of this now lies behind us; but before us lies Home-Coming Week next year, and may it be a true reunion of the Sophomore class. At a meeting near the end of the winter quarter the class voted to have the same officers for the remainder of the term. We were sorry to lose seventy gradu-ating members in December. Because of this it was necessary to fill the vacancies of treasurer and Klipsun representative. February 16 a meeting was held at which the matter of commencement announce-ments was discussed. After the business meeting the class was entertained by read-ings and music was given by individual members of the class. Klipsun means "sunset." The Sophomores are nearing the sunset of their days at Normal, but "the world is waiting for the sunrise," and the graduates of-the class of '25 will go out to strive to meet the needs that arise with the new day.

Forthwith did they proceed to plunder the richly filled coffers of their gold and jewel knowledge, but still did bethink themselves of their cap-tives, and permitted them to carry off as much treasure as they could make away with. Then right merrily did the life in the castle of Bellingham Normal proceed. The lords and ladies did hold happy court, and each, regardless of his station in life, did partake of some form of mental labor and settle down to prepare to take new lands and castles and add to his already growing store of riches. Inasmuch as there need be good order and discipline, it was decided that there be a chosen few to lead the Freshman class. Thereupon did these knights and ladies elect Sir Donovan Matheny, Lady Evelyn Hagen, Lady Margaret Chambers and Sir Howard Wilder, and did also take for good counsel, the wise Sir Bond. At last came the day in the fall of the year of 1924, A. D., when heralds did proclaim the first of the series of tournaments to be held, wherein many of the gallant-hearted would strive for the honors to be won. From far and near came participants, and to these jousts did the Freshman class send a goodly number to compete for the honor of the Normal-by-the-Sea. Not only did the Freshman class send from among its ranks men of strength and skill to be victors on the football field, but also did they help to take honor and trophy in basketball, debate, track and baseball meets. Be it known that the fair ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves to the lists and yell right heartily for their knights; and the knights no matter what jousts did they take part in, did carry their school colors of Blue and White upon their sleeves, and in their hearts as well, with courage and fair play. All this while the knights and ladies of the class did work on and on right heartily and cheerfully, and hailed with pleasure the ball given by them on February 28, 1925. Came here the Freshmen in splendid dress and attire to par-ticipate in dancing, partake of sparkling punch, and enjoy much well-won pleasure. Decorations of green, and soft shaded tapers did lend artistic 'atmosphere to the surroundings and the ball did take place in the Edens Hall Castle, well known near and far. During the course of the eventful year did the Freshmen contribute much toward the musical and dramatic ability of the school. Freshman talent did much to support various productions. Be it also known, that the gentle ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves out into the field of glory unafeared and entered the W. A. A., where they did right heartily prove their valor. The Messenger and the Klipsun were managed and edited with the help of members of the first year conquerors. Be it known that the Freshman class did have representatives in every activity sponsored by the Castle of Bellingham Nor-mal and right merrily did they respond to every whit of work put upon them. Being right wealthy in sportsmanship, enthusiasm, spirit, and great possibili-ties, the lords and ladies of the Class of '26 did make an historical success of their first: year in the well-won stronghold of knowledge, and right heartily do they extend their sincere thanks to the other inhabitants of the Castle and to the most faithful and good-willed faculty that helped them to progress along the way of learning. The knights, lords and ladies of '26 accept the best wishes given them by the Class of '25 for success and happiness, and pass that same greeting and wish on to the class that will start its siege in a year to come.

Today let me see them-see clearly, That I may always remember Bellingham with her traditions. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 74 ---------- Traditions Long before the Normal stocd here on the hill, before the white man had come to greet the mighty Pacific, a tribe of Indians watched the sun sink in the west. "Klipsun," they said, as they pointed across the bay, "Klipsun" (the setting sun). In after years when the students of Bellingham Normal sought a name for their annual, they, too, watched the sun crimson the bay, and as "the western sun is the setting sun, is the sun of a hope fulfilled," they, whose hope of schooling had been accomplished, named their annual "Klipsun," the Indian word meaning sunset. The first numbers of the annual to be published were miniature Messengers published by the Sophomore class during the spring quarter. It was in 1912 that the Klipsun first appeared in book form. Since then it has grown in size to meet the ever increasing demands of a larger student body. SEHOME HILL AND INITIAL ROCK On the very summit of Sehome, under the benign guardianship of old Mount Baker, and within sight of an inspiring panorama of blue water, misty green islands, pearly Olympics, and jagged Canadian peaks dazzling in the sun, there emerges a large low rock which is covered with countless numbers of initials and dates. Some of these letters and figures are closely intertwined. Dates range from the 90's to those of yesterday. Some are crudely done, while others are drawn with the sure, carefulFy careless strokes of the artist; but all are artistic to the eye of the lover of B. S. N. S. tradition, for everyone records some thought or some heart throb of a student who climbed the old trail to the top of the hill and there gladdened his soul with the breath-taking vision before him. Perhaps per-plexities of student life dwindled into insignificance up there in the midst of Nature's glory; perhaps a lasting friendship took root, or a romance budded; anyway, it is safe to assume that the experience became a precious memory. We reach the top of Sehome by climbing up the steep wooded trail which begins at the very backdoors of the main building, or we follow the longer, more leisurely Huntoon Driveway and wend our way spiral fashion to the top, rewarded by new delights of foliage, flower, rocky wall, glimpse of sea, sky, cloud, or city, at every step. On Easter morning a large group of students ascends the hill to attend the traditional sunrise prayer meeting held by the Normal Y. W. C. A. SUNSET TRAIL Only a short block south of the campus, at the end of High Street, one comes upon a lovely wooded trail leading to Sunset Knoll, an open space on the heights between Sehome and South Bellingham, overlooking the bay. This, like Sehome Hill, is a favorite spot for picnics and for viewing the sunsets which help to make Bellingham Bay famous. VIKINGS Vikings is the name given to athletes and to all others who compete for the honor of our school. This is a new name for Bellingham teams, but it has already found its place in the hearts of the students. It is a traditional name which will grow more dear as the years roll on; for it is especially well chosen. We live on the western coast of one of the largest fiords in the world, and our teams go south to meet their rivals. We have the spirit of adventure, of daring and bravery, and the will and the ability to conquer. Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 75 ---------- KLINE CUP CONTEST The Kline-Cup contest started in 1904 when Mr. Kline, a Bellingham jeweler, offered a silver cup to the class whose girls' basketball team should win the championship of the school. At the time there were six groups competing: Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Junior advanced, and Senior advanced. There are no longer Junior and Senior advanced groups, but the contest is still held. The numerals of the winning class team are engraved on the cup. ARBOR DAY On Arbor Day we plant new shrubs and trees along Huntoon Drive up Sehome. Each organization within the school takes special care of those shrubs and trees for which it is directly responsible. VIKING VODVIL Each year in the spring quarter the students put on a vodvil. This consists of a number of the best "stunts" chosen from those offered by Independents and by the various clubs. This is called the Viking Vodvil. THE ALL- SCHOOL PICNIC In May comes the all-school picnic. It may be at Glacier, over on an island, up at Normalstad, or at any one of the many attractive spots near here. This picnic is noted for its large crowd, for the eats, and for the jolly fun. THE MARATHON Some time during the spring quarter the students and faculty put on hiking clothes and start for the top of Chuckanut Mountain. There they write their 'names and the time of their arrival at the top in a book provided for the occasion. At the end of the day the names are counted. The group, class or faculty having the largest per cent to reach the top is awarded a silver cup with engraved numerals. The Marathon was started in 1909 when the Bellingham Herald offered a silver cup to the man who could start from the Normal and run to the top of Chuckanut and back in the shortest time. ,As this was found too difficult an undertaking, the Marathon was changed in 1910 to class and faculty competition. Running is no longer required, but the hike varies in form from year to year. One year the students met at the Normal and went in a group. At times classes go together, and at one time the contest closed at sun-up. The Marathon is one of the big events of the school year. SNEAK DAY Sophomores take one day in the spring for pleasure only. Under cover of great secrecy, these wise students leave their books wherever they may be and set out for greener pastures, thus giving the faculty an opportunity to devote all of their time to the Freshmen. BURIED TREASURES On Class Day the Sophomores put the class roll, a list of their bfficers and faculty advisors, a Klipsun, and whatever else they may decide upon, in a tin box which they bury with much ceremony under the walk in front of the main building. The cement which has been cut out of the walk in order that the box may be placed under it is replaced with new, and the class numerals are cut. in the new cement. This is one of the oldest traditions of the Sophomores and is followed by every graduating class. Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 76 ---------- MOUNT BAKER HIKE During the summer there are a number of hikes under the direction of faculty members. These hikes are, besides being very interesting in themselves, preliminary to and preparatory for the big hike of the year-the Mount Baker hike. Mr. Coughlin started the tradition of a Mount Baker hike in 1919 and for several years was the faculty member in charge. Since the first year when a group of fifteen or twenty climbed Mount Baker, this hike has grown in size and popularity. Two faculty members, Mr. Kolstad and Mr. Bond, now take charge. Last year the group consisted of students, faculty members, and President Fisher. It numbered seventy-two in all, sixty-one making the ascent. It is customary for those going on this hike to take cars or to go on the special stages to Glacier the night before the climb, and from Glacier to take their packs and hike some distance into the park before spreading their blankets for the night. The Mt. Baker hike is the one event of the year when everyone is expected to dip freely into the paint can and paint his face. GREENWOOD THEATER One of our most novel and worthwhile traditions is the giving of a Shakes-pearean play in the Greenwood Theater. This is put on by the Drama Club in the late summer. For weeks before the opening of the play the characters may be seen and heard rehearsing their parts on the campus. About the time the students have become accustomed to this, a few benches and stage furnishings appear; then all is hidden behind high canvas walls, and only the pound, pound of the hammers can be heard as the bleachers go up in the outdoor theatre. When the seats are made and the lights are arranged, the theatre is complete. In a few more days the play is given. After two or three nights' showing, the canvas and seats are taken down and nothing remains of the Greenwood Theater except the green wood. In the past the Greenwood Theater has been erected on the northwest of the knoll in front of the main building. In a few years more it will find a permanent spot on Sehome Hill back of Edens Hall near the reservoir, where the topography makes an ideal location for a natural studium. TRADITION DECREES THAT: The Cheney game is the most important of the football season. Wear rah caps, carry blue and white banners, and cheer through blue and white mega-phones when you come to this game! There shall be a Y. W. C. A. reception on the first Friday of the school year. No one shall be permitted to wear letters from other schools after the first week of the quarter.

AF_ Seventy-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 79 ---------- HANNAH, LOREE, KATTERLEE, BOND, BOND, MARQUIS, HOLCOMB, GRAY, MARQUIS DAISY HOWARD Board of Control The Board of Control which held its first meeting during the summer session was com-posed cf Daisy Howard, president; Edgar Hannah, vice-president; Vivian Holcomb, Pauline Hutchinson and Warner Poyhonen, student representatives; and Miss Gragg and Mr. Marquis, faculty representatives. During the following two quarters, Constance Markuson and Guy Bond were elected stu-dent representatives to take the places of retiring members. The Board of Control has had .this year an opportunity of sponsoring many plans for general improvements along the line of student activities. New regula-tions have been made for the maintenance of the Students' Cooperative Bookstore. An Art Council and an Editorial Council were created for the purpose of co-operatinng with the editor of the Weekly Messenger. The Klipsun was placed upon a new basis. Two new honor societies, the Scholarship Society and the Leadership Society, were launched. A new policy was adopted for the ad- vancement of athletics, both women's and men's. Aside from the foregoing achievements, the Board has been active in provid-ing social good times for the student body at large. For example, a new summer social project was launched under the name of Campus Capers. This is to be an annual event and is in the nature of a carnival without the usual tolls being ex-tracted from the pockets of the students. It is an all-school affair in which all students and faculty members participate. Other memorable social affairs have been the all-school mixers at the Armory and the Christmas program and tree in the auditorium. For a week before the Christmas activities the halls were deco-rated with greens and bells, creating a festal atmosphere of the merrier season. Throughout the year the Board of Control has worked in entire harmony of deed and purpose "to do the best possible for the greatest number possible." Seventy-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 80 ---------- POYHONEN APPLETON The Weeklyj Messenger The Weekly Messenger, the school paper, not unlike other projects of a similar nature, is the result of a process of evolution. The first number was pub-lished in small magazine form in 1889, when this institution was known as What-com State Normal school. It was issued only once each quarter. In 1903 the size of the paper was increased and it appeared as a monthly publication until 1916. It was issued weekly then in a four-column eight-page form. The year 1923 stands out in the history of the Messenger for it was then that its present six-column, four-page form was adopted. During the past year, with the aid of the Editorial Council, many improve-ments have been made in make-up as well as in the quality of the copy. Eighty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 81 ---------- MENDENHALL HIBNER BLACK HIBNER GRAY LEAMING APPLETON Editorial Council of the Messenger Since its creation last November the Editorial Council of the Messenger has made its existence felt through the school paper. The first accomplishment of the Council was the formulation of a policy for the paper which was later adopted by the Board of Control. The policy of the Messenger is: (1) To bring students into closer relation with the affairs of the school (a) by affording an op-portunity for the expression of student ideas and (b) by presenting all of the school news; (2) To promote the best interest of the school at all times. The Editorial Council was organized during the fall of 1924 when, because of the rapid growth of the paper, the work necessitated the assistance of com-petent help in make-up and copy reading. To meet the needs it was decided that a body of four experienced people should be organized for that purpose. Those elected to the Editorial Council were Margaret McRobert, Catherine McGuire, Rose Gray and Bertha Hibner. Later during the year Milton Furness, Clare Mendenhall and Margaret Black were elected to fill vacancies on the Council. The Council has met weekly with the editor to discuss problems on the editorial side of the paper. Besides reading copy and helping with the make- up of the paper, the Editorial Council has put out the first issue of the Messenger each quarter till the new staff has been ready for work.

The Normal Book Store, owned by the student body and operated through its manager, Mr. Sam Ford, under supervision of the Board of Control, furnishes needed supplies to the faculty and students. It is the policy of the store to serve the students by ordering books for classroom work and by maintaining a supply of other articles for which there is constant demand in student life. The Co-Op is especially active at the first of each quarter, when new books are being purchased, or old ones are being exchanged. In addition to other services rendered, the store offers opportunity for distributing student mail. All funds, save a small amount kept for emergencies, are invested in new stocks and equipment, thereby enhancing the value of the store to the student body.

From the numerous men who applied for the position, Coach Davis was finally selected. It is evident now as the athletic season comes to a close that no mistake was made. Mr. Davis has worked hard to give to Bellingham Normal a most successful athletic year. He believes in hard, conscientious practice, and keen, clever play. He is a typical man's man and has gone far toward putting this school athletically on a college basis. STUDENT MANAGER This is the first year that a regular athletic manager has been appointed. There was no hesitation in determining who this should be. Coach Davis and the Board of Control felt fortunate in getting Loree to manage the year's sports. Loree not only attended to the many duties of manager, but made friends with all the players and kept them in good spirits with his contagious smile. Every game of each sport was handled in a businesslike manner throughout the entire year. ASSISTANT COACH Ralph J. Reed, who was assistant coach this year, has been a great help in all lines. Reed has attended Cheney Normal, Oberlin, Idaho, and the U. of W., where he has picked up many ideas which he put into good use in his work with the various teams. INTRAMURAL SPORTS The year 1924-25 marked the advent of intramural sports in Normal's ath-letic program. This plan is being used in the majority of the larger colleges and normal schools throughout the country with unprecenteded success in opening a field of athletic activity for every man in school. The intramural sports program this year included basketball, horseshoes, handball, boxing, track, swimming and tennis. No letterman is allowed to enter a sport in which he has made his letter, a fact which equalizes the competition in each sport, and encourages those of lesser athletic ability. During the intramural basketball season, nine teams competed, with the Philos finally winning the beautiful 14-inch loving cup presented by the men's athletic department. This spring over a hundred men are participating in tennis, handball, horse-shoes, track and swimming. The ten men who are most successful in these sports will have their names engraved on a loving cup presented for this purpose. Practically every man in school took up boxing, which was managed by Walt Kelley; in fact, so keen was the interest that the big event for the men during the winter quarter was a smokeless smoker. Swimming was managed by Guy Bond at the Y. M. C. A. tank, where novices were taught to swim and veterans were given live-saving work and taught advanced strokes. The intramural sports program got ninety per cent of the men into some form of spontaneous athletic activity during the year, offering a new plane of activity, resulting in stronger friendships, as well as personal gain through the development of a healthy body and mind.

N'nety-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 92 ---------- Football Season 1924 There are few minor colleges that have gone forth with a football program that is equal to that of the Blue and White squad this season. Coach Davis called the squad together two weeks before school opened. Twenty of the forty men who responded to this call were awarded sweaters at the close of the season. From the first turnout until the last game, practically every man stuck to the squad, which demonstrated the loyalty and spirit that nothing can whip. The schedule was made without discrimination, with the result that every game played was a real hazard to minor college championship. Two non-conference games with the U. of W. Frosh and the Super-Varsity were lost. However, the fans were given a real treat in seeing Tesreau with his educated toe perform for the Frosh, and Patton, the star half-back who was Washington's main defense in the Washington-California game, get a real work-out on Waldo field when we tangled with the Super-Varsity. Non-conference games with the O. A. C. Frosh, Pacific U., and the U. S. S. Mississippi were called off by representatives of those teams, with the result that the nine-game schedule which had been planned was shortened. Cooperation within the squad, real unified teamwork, unfaltering loyalty to the school and the coach, together with the unprecedented support of the student body and faculty, lifted the boys into that spirit which overcame all obstacles and se-cured them the minor college championship. One of the outstanding features of the team's work was the fact that the Super- Varsity was the only team that made more than one first down against the Vikings. Ellensburg and Cheney were unable to make a first down once during the entire game. In the first two games of the season Seattle College and St. Martin's gave so little opposition that in the Frosh game the men had hardly hit their stride. The result was that the Frosh beat a team that late in the season could have held them to a much closer score. The squad showed improvement until at the end of the season a brand of football was displayed that was finished in every respect.

Willamette A word of appreciation to each athlete who will-ingly put in hours of "the old grind" for the love of his alma mater. Your readiness to keep physically fit has not only resulted in a personal compensation but in honor which you have brought to this school. The added drive and vigor gained by those who trained has enabled them to bring a contribution in real manhood to our student body. Moreover, I esteem the spirit of the man "on the bench" who, knowing he may never earn his letter, gives himself unsparingly that the team may not falter. I appreciate the contribution of each and every man in making this year so pleasant and so full of hu-man interest that it cannot be forgotten. -Elwood C. Davis. Basket Ball Season The basketball season was unusually successful this year in spite of the fact that the original schedule, which included the University of Washington, the Uni-versity of Idaho, and other schools of similar caliber, was curtailed in an effort to economize. The three losses for the entire season were inconsequential considering the fact that the men had never played together before as a team. During the season they ran up a total of 571 points against their opponents' 364. in the seventeen games played. The boys were noted for their clean playing, proof of which is found in ;he fact that only once did a man go out on fouls during the season. They developed machine-like unity and smoothness of action which characterizes veteran teams. As we look back over the season we think of these boys as working hard and willingly, with that unceasing determination to uphold the invincible spirit of the Viking. They leave an enviable record. Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 94 ---------- ARTHUR DUKE-"Duke" When it came to aggressive guarding with ability to gain points, Duke was there with the goods. JOHN PAKUSICH- "Johnnie" Johnnie found himself when he changed to a forward position. His abil-ity and persistency won our admiration. JOSEPH ILES-"Joe" Around the basket Joe was a whiz. His long shots were the despair of op-ponents. DONOVAN MATHENY-"'Don" Steady persistency, so essential to his personal success and that of his team, was his motto, making Don a dependable man all the time. EDWARD WINGARD-"Eddie" Eddie's quick diagnosis of plays and his lightning action made him high-point man for the season. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 95 ---------- COLPHIE HECKEL-"Truck" Truck's aggressive playing and his superb floor work counted much toward the team's success. WARD PRIG-"Ward" His cleverness and speed was a mar-vel to the fair ones. A mid-season in-jury kept him from the hall of fame. HOWARD WILDER-"Dutch" A guard of sterling worth both on offense and defense. Dutch was our only letterman from last year. LESTER LEACH-Les" He appeared to be the slowest man on the team, when it was nothing more than his easy playing which gave such an impression. Les was our most ver-satile player, working with perfect harmony in any position. ALVIN HARTLEY-"Al" Being fat and fast made him a shifty guard. We expect great things of Al next year. Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 96 ---------- Baseball 1925 Few are the minor colleges that can boast of a baseball squad such as repre-sented the Vikings this year. It is to be regretted that a lack of funds limited our schedule. Starting off the season with a dozen practice tilts, the boys rapidly developed into a team of college caliber. The first scheduled game was with the University of Washington varsity, who defeated us 4-3. The next day Seattle College succumbed to our ability to hit "the old apple." The score was 9-4. Then came the University of Washington Frosh, who were forced to retreat with the small end of a 3-1 score. Other games are scheduled with Seattle College, Univerity of Washington Frosh, St. Martin's College and Cheney Normal. Staggs (captain) as catcher did much in keeping the team alert and "up in there." Frykman and Wingard are moundsmen worthy of professional recognition: The infield with Leach at first (1st), Kure at second (2nd), Davis, shortstop, and Graham at third (3rd), with Okerlund and Burtz as utility, is a combination of such snap and skill as to be very "bad medicine" for their opponents. In the outfield: Hyde (left fielder), Katterlee (center fielder), and Parrett (right fielder), with Neil, Matheny, Baxter, and Van Etton, eager supplements, "sunk" everything that came "out in the weeds." Ninety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 97 ---------- 1925 TRACK SQUAD Track A remarkably keen interest has been shown in track this season. Some of the distance men started working out during the winter quarter. Each night during the season numerous athletes have been working out in the jumps, running events, and weights. The sixth annual relay carnival at the University of Washington held May 9 gave the relay team a chance to show its pace. In the medley event, Bellingham took second and forced the Frosh to a new track record of 6:38. On May 14, a dual meet was held with the U. of W. Frosh at Seattle. The track team went to Ellensburg to compete in the tri-Normal meet on May 23. NORMAL TRACK 1924 RELAY TEAM The Tri-Normal Track Meet, with the Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg Normals participating, was the main event of the track-season. Cheney Normal was the winner of the meet by the narrow margin of one point. Bellingham Nor-mal's relay team, consisting of Ward Prigg, Clyde Cole, Dewey Bowman and Ed Hannah, won for the school the permanent possession of the Relay Cup, by winning the half-mile relay for the second successive time. Ed Hannah, Bellingham's sprint man, with 111/4 points to his credit, was the individual high-point man of the meet, and was awarded a gold medal. Hannah set a Tri-Normal record of 10 seconds for the 100-yard dash and 22.2 seconds for the 220-yard dash: Prigg of Bellingham was a close second in both events. All Tri-Normal records, with the exception of the broad jump, discus and 440-yard dash, were bettered.

Another track event of the year was the Dual Meet between the Bellingham Normal and the University Frosh. This meet was taken by the Frosh by a large score, though the Normal squad did take a considerable number of points.

From the early hours of the day to sunset the courts are filled with students enjoying themselves at the royal game. Improvements in the courts, fences and nets, made last fall, are making it pleasant for those who wish to enjoy a pleasant recreation from studies. The winners in the annual tournament last summer were as follows: Men's Singles: Edgar Hannah. Ed played in the finals against Gordon Broadbent and won by taking two straight sets. Men's Doubles: Al Hannah and Ed Hannah. They played in the finals against George Burlingame and Howard Nessen, and won in three straight sets. Women's Singles: Ruth Gill. Ruth played the finals against Frances Wel-lington. Women's Doubles: Ruth Gill and Doris Turner. They played the finals against Mrs. Ed Hannah and Mrs. George Burlingame. Mixed Doubles: Ruth Gill and Warren Granger. They played the finals with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hannah and won two out of three sets. In the men's singles, the ladder system was used. The first ten on the list at the end -of the tournament were: 1, Ed Hannah; 2, Gordon Broadbent; 3, Al Hannah; 4, George Burlingame; 5, Don Tunstall; 6, Howard Nessen; 7, Harry Appleton; 8, Warren Granger; 9, Gail Hinthorne; 10, Ernest Keplinger. Tennis has been made a major sport in this institution and it is expected that inter-collegiate competition in tennis is going to arouse even greater interest in the sport.

One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 104 ---------- Basketball With the beginning of the winter quarter the girls began turning out for basketball. Miss Frank coached the Sophomores and for the month of January Mrs. Foster coached the Freshmen. An average of thirty-five Sophomores and forty Freshmen turned out for practice every Monday and Wednesday at four in the two gyms. By the end of January we had really begun to play basketball and a lot of good material in both classes was discovered. Miss Skalley came the first week of February and took over the Frosh. Finally the first squads from which were to be a selected the class teams, were chosen. These class teams are selected to compete for the Kline Cup. The Kline Cup games are a series of three games played by the Sophs and Frosh teams each year. The class having the greatest number of points at the erid of the series is allowed to have the class numerals engraved on the cup. This year competition was keen, as the Frosh were reported to have a strong team and the Sophs were eager to try them out. The first game of the series was played on Monday, February 23. Excitement was high, and the girls played a hard-fought game with the final score standing 17-14 in favor of the Sophs. Miss Weythman refereed. The second game was even more exciting than the first. Of course, the Frosh were ready for revenge. They played an excellent game and at the end of the first half the score stood 10-4 in their favor. The Sophs were not to be downed, however, and rallied their forces. Gradually the score became more even and for a few minutes seesawed back and forth-first the Frosh in the lead, then the Sophs ahead. When the final whistle stopped play, the score was 19-19. This game, played March 2, proved to be the best game of the series. Miss Skally was the referee. The third game was, however, the most important one. With such a slight lead as three points the Sophs were on their mettle. The Frosh being equally determined to win put up a strong fight the first quarter, but the Sophs outplayed them and won the series by a score of 24-15, or a lead of 12 points. This game was played on Monday, March 9, with Miss Frank as referee. So the basketball season ended with the Sophomores in possession of the Kline Cup. Life Saving In the fall quarter of 1924, a Life-Saving course was included in the advanced swimming classes. Having passed the Beginners' and the Swimmers' tests, the next thing is to become a Life-Saver. The senior Life-Saving test is taken by all members over 17 years of age. Its requirements are: 1. In deep water, disrobe and swim 100 yards. 2. Surface dive, recovering objects three times and a 10-pound weight once. 3. Front, rear and under-water approaches each with proper turn and carry. 4. Head carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60-foot swim, proper approach and turn. 5. Cross-chest carry, 60 feet preceded by 60-foot swim, proper approach and turn. 6. Arm-lock or hair carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60- foot swim, proper ap-proach and turn. 7. Tired swimmer's carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60-foot swim. 8. Front strangle hold, four times, two different positions. 9. Back strangle hold, four times, two different positions. 10. Double grip on one wrist, four times, using alternate wrist. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 105 ---------- 11. Two people locked in front strangle, and repeat, rescuing alternate sub-jects. 12. Demonstration Prone Pressure (Shaefer) method of Resuscitation one and one-half minutes. 13. Essay on Prone Pressure Method of Resuscitation (200 to 500 words). 14. Float motionless, one minute. 15.

Oral quiz on life-saving, five questions. Awards: Membership certificate, emblem for bathing suit, and enamel pin. For those who are just learning to swim there is the Beginner's Test, and later when one is more accomplished there is the Swimmers' test. The Beginners' test consists of 1. A swim of 50 feet using any kind of stroke. The award is a Red Cross Beginners' Button. The Swimmers' test is 1. Swim 100 yards using two or more kinds of strokes. 2. Swim 50 feet, using back-stroke. 3. Perform straight front dive in good form. 4. Recover object in 6 to 8 feet of water by means of surface dive. Award: Red Cross Swimmers' Button. All girls are expected to pass the Beginners' test, and a great many pass the Swimmers' test also. The following have passed the Swimmers' Test: Thelma Wyatt, Hazel Lind-berg, Frances Herron, Alva Kraus, Eliza Hopf, Charlotte McNaughton, Alice Bar-ber, Benicia Genther, Adele Olson. One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 106 ---------- SUNSET FROM INSPIRATION POINT Recreation We play as well as we work. Although many poor souls have been illusioned into thinking that play is the major function of the school, the last vestige of such an hallucination has been ob-literated by the effective pruning and probationing of the scholarship com-mittee. Ask any one of the unfortu-nates. To most of us play comes with our work, but many of us do not realize it; therefore the purpose of this department is to bring back to all the memories that have arisen from the events in our social group during the past altogether too short year. The writer admits his inability to do this task full and complete justice, but he hopes that his humble efforts will in part serve to recall many pleasing memories. Recreation is provided for in many ways. We are situated in a region of wcnder, but even in the school itself we have the weekly Fri-day afternoon recreation hour; we have receptions, teas, formals, and student programs. We have our annual out-ings for the whole school: the Chucka-nut Marathon, Normalstad Picnic, Sneaks, and the Austin Pass, Hanne-gan Pass, Mount Baker, and Mount One Hundred Six Constitution hikes. How fortunate we are in being located so close to the haunts of nature! Our Campus Ca-pers and our Faculty Fun add much to the zest and zeal of Normal life. This fall when we returned to the big school house on the hill we met many strange faces. We had a mad hunt for rooms and boarding places. The strain of the registration jam left many maimed in disposition and in body. One boy actually fainted into a girl's arms. The fatalist would say everything happens for some reason, whether for better or worse. (In this case it was for the worse; the girl dropped him.) After going to every show in town and wishing in vain for the Home-Coming Normal- School dance we started on our studies for want of anything else to do. We needed some-thing to blow off steam on so we had our chance at the first All-Student mixer under the auspices of the Wom-an's League. RECREATION HOUR Every Friday "rec" marks the close of a strenuous week. In summer we have a recreation hour in the open for the fresh air enthusiasts and the week- ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 107 ---------- ly dance in the large gym for those who desire it. Open air recreation is so popular in summer that about four games of indoor baseball-in-the-open are played at one time. Barnyard golf and volleyball rank along with- the game of tennis and competition in the former is just as keen as in the latter. OCTOBER 3-ALL-STUDENT MIXER The men, women, and faculty of the school were invited to attend this func- tion. The school turned out en masse. One girl in her haste pinned her name on upside down. Followed a wild scramble on the part of the young men to read it. Pandemonium reigned and the Dean had to referee. The only other battle was the downhill struggle Mr. Marquis had with the cookies and tea. At five o'clock we all wiped our chins and the grand exodus ensued. OCTOBER 10-THE FIRST REC- REATION HOUR Don Marquis' shrieking clarinet was ably assisted by Chauncey Griffith on the piano, while Charles Rothweiler and Art boomed out with the saxo-phone and traps respectively. Every-one who could dance, danced, and those who could not, learned how. This event proved to be popular from the beginning, and its fame spread. The whole town was soon enjoying it. The "rec" is here to stay and the only re-gret that we have is that it lasts one short hour. It is a fitting close for the week. OCTOBER 10-THE Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION Annually the Y. W. C. A. of this school gives a reception to the entire school, both students and faculty. Un-der the able guidance of Frances Wen-niston the reception last fall was a great success. It served as a means of making many new acquaintances through the games and entertainment provided. Why have we such pleasant memories of these receptions? Be-cause we always come away pleased with the fact that we have attended a "formal reception" and found to our joy that it was delightfully informal. OCTOBER 17-FIRST ARMORY DANCE The seventeenth of October brought us the first associated student mixer to which all the members of the institu-tion were invited. The armory was beautifully decorated with colored streamers, and the orchestra was all we could wish for. And wish we did, for it seemed ages before we, could get past the formalities of a.receiving line and a grand march. When we finally did get a chance to dance we thronged the floor until "Home, Sweet Home" brought to an abrupt close a delightful evening that had been bare-ly begun. We expect to have more of these mixers. OCTOBER 25 - WOMEN'S LEAGUE KID PARTY The Kid Party is going to be long remembered by those who went, be-cause of the fun they had, and also by those who didn't, because of the fun they missed. It was a hilarious scene of romping youngsters. Even Huckle-berry Finn was there with a fishin' pole and a stubbed toe. Miss Jones was there, too, but you never would have recognizer her in her short green paper dress and long curls. The chil-dren enjoyed themselves thoroughly from playing and dancing to cider and doughnuts. The prize fox-trot was won by Teddie Wilson and Marcella Lustermann-the prize was a bag of popcorn which was enjoyed by all. DECEMBER 19-CHRISTMAS PROGRAM During the last week of the fall quarter the halls were decorated in Yuletide colors. On Tuesday evening a Christmas program was given. All the clubs gave something very sugges-tive to Chrismas. Do you remember Mr. Newdall with his drum? Mr. Kibbe with his Sparky? Bennie Mitchell with his pup? Mr. Marquis with his horn? One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 108 ---------- JANUARY 10-Y. W. ALL SCHOOL PARTY Hard times were in evidence in the big gym. A delightful party was giv-en by the Y. W. C. A. for the whole school. Everyone turned out in his humblest fashion; even Mr. Kibbe was there with a precarious lone suspender. The offenders that wore a tie or an ar-ticle of silk were fined. The treasury did not prosper and when everybody went home you may be sure that these poor souls didn't leave anything in the line of refreshments. JANUARY 24-EXCURSION TO BRITISH COLUMBIA On Saturday afternoon an enthusi-astic group of supporters left for Vancouver to see the basketball game between Bellingham Normal and the University of British Columbia. The team was victorious. The Canadians saw that we had a good time. They gave us three games, a dance, and a feed. During the afternoon we were shown about the city. The next trip is looked forward to. JANUARY 30-PEP RALLY A rousing pep rally took place the night before the Cheney game. The cheer leaders led the march and the party broke up with a peppy yell and a "Let's Beat Cheney." We blew off so much steam that we lost the game. FEBRUARY 14-VALENTINE'S DAY Hearts were in evidence on Saint Valentine's Day, from the ace of hearts to the most gorgeous Valentine. The box on the landing was packed and surrounded by fluttering hearts. Those who didn't get their expected hearts were furnished a crying room. The most severe cases of the day were Chuck Weedin, Warner Poyhonen, Mil- dred Jennings and Mr. Hunt. They parted with their hearts, and didn't get any in return. FEBRUARY 28- FROSH PARTY The Ambassador orchestra of Taco-ma furnished the music for the Frosh Saint Patrick's dance which was held in the dining room at Edens Hall. The One Hundred Eight decoration scheme was well carried out and the committee that planned the dance saw that everyone was comfort- able and the floor not too crowded. This was the supreme social success of the Freshman Class of 1925. MARCH 14-EDENS HALL SAINT PATRICK'S DANCE On Saturday night a delightful dance in honor of Ireland's patron saint was given. The cosmopolitan crowd ral-lied around the green in such a fashion that Jensen was McElhiney. The fa-vors happened to be the green-eyed snakes that Saint Patrick banished and the crowd was quick to note the anachronism. Finally all ate their snakes and Ireland was saved again. History repeats itself. Erin go Brah! SATURDAY, JULY 19-ARMORY SAILORS' DANCE The Armory dance for the sailors caused the fluttering of many a heart at the Normal-by-the-Sea. The gobs came en masse, took the town by storm, left the boys on the fence, and showed our girls a grand time. To entertain the sailors a large dance was given for the edification of the girls and the mor-tification of the boys. A most wonder-ful time was had (at least so the girls say) and sometime when the boats come again the sailors will again be the guests. AUGUST 15-CAMPUS CAPERS The carnival that was staged" on the Normal Campus last summer was the greatest spectacle and at the same time the most hilarious, joyous open air event on the calendar. Side shows, booths, and dancing featured this mid-summer frolic. The Gypsy fortune tellers revealed the future of the students and the fac-ulty. Past masters in the art of "bark-ing" tempted us into the various booths and side shows to view the "sells." But what did we care? We went out only to come in again and repeat the thrill. It was hard to tell which was most popular: the fantastically clad Gypsy fortune tellers, who told us all sorts of delightfully impossible things; the Sagebrush booth where everyone was ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 109 ---------- given an aromatic sagebrush buttoniere tied with a silver ribbon and then was beguiled in to see the "wildest animal that ever grew in the sagebrush coun-try; or "Hell's Hole," from which arose the shrieks of the damned and where one received a real thrill from shaking ghostly hands. The fact is there was a long waiting line before each of these places all evening. RECREATION IN THE OPEN NORMALSTAD Normalstad, an eighty-acre tract of land lying along the south side of Lake Whatcom, is the property of the Stu-dent Body of Bellingham Normal, hav-ing been bought witb Association funds. This beautiful playground with limit-less possibilities derives its name from a combination of Normal and Kolstad, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, a member of the Normal faculty, having been instru-mental in securing the property for the school. THE ANNUAL PICNIC One school day during the spring quarter is set aside for the regular Nor-malstad picnic. We go by street car to Silver Beach and take a lake steamer for the journey up the lake, landing at our own dock built two years ago with Association funds. Or, if not enough boats are available for the entire crowd, and we like better to walk than wait for the boat's return, we leave the street car at Whatcom Falls Park and hike out the three and a half miles to our desti-nation, or perhaps we go by auto. The remainder of the forenoon is spent clearing ground, for Normalstad is only partially developed, and the aft-ernoon is given over to sports of various sorts, the most exciting of which are the tree-climbing contests for both men and women, and the boat races. It might be mentioned that a box of candy is se-curely tied to the top of the saplings and that the first one up gets the candy. The boat races comprise singles, dou-bles, and mixed, if such terms may be used off the tennis court: races in row-boats, and races in Indian canoes and Eskimo kyaks. The cove around the bend gives us a beautiful natural re-gatta course which predicts strong in-tercollegiate crew competition in the not far- distant future. The rugged grandeur of the wooded slopes surrounding and enveloping the blue lake is appealing to all lovers of the out-of-doors. One can see on every side the beauty of the season and the glorious achievements that cap the handiwork of nature. The woodman's axe has not demolished the surround-ing forests, and comparing Normalstad with any other part of the Northwest it is safe to say that Normalstad is unex-celled in natural beauty. A small space has been cleared near the water of the lake and this is the site for the long-hoped- for lodge at Normalstad. Can we wish for a better place? PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT Plans for the development of Nor-malstad include the building of a $9000 rustic lodge. This lodge will have three floors, including boat house, bowling alley, kitchen, caretaker's quarters, fire-place, locker-rooms, and a large living rocm, 72x48, with an oak floor. With ample space for indoor recreation to suit the most aristocratic, and ample space for outdoor games to suit the most plebian barnyard golf fan, what more can be asked? Mounfaineering at Normal The outdoor recreation program in-cludes many hiking and climbing trips the year around, but the grand climax to this side of recreational life comes during the summer quarter; however, in May of each year we have the CHUCKANUT MARATHON when the entire student body partici-pates in a Marathon up Mount Chuck- anut, with picnic lunch near the top. Students and faculty go in bevies, in groups, or singly. To the class which has the largest per cent of signatures during the day in the register-kept for that purpose at the top of the mountain, is awarded possession of the Herald silver cup until such time as the Mara-thon is held the ensuing year. The Chuckanut Marathon many years ago passed into a tradition which is cher- ished by the entire school. One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 110 ---------- MOUNT CONSTITUTION A favorite goal for picnicking excur-sionists is Mount Constitution on Orcas Island of the San Juan group. Some thirty miles distant by water, it affords an unexcelled opportunity for a com-bination of boat trip, a week-end of camping, fishing and clamdigging, to-gether with a climbing expedition. The party may camp near the beach at Olga or East Sound and make the as-cent from there, or they may have their headquarters at one of the lakes which abound with fresh water fish. The climb itself is simply a pleasant six-and- a-half-mile walk over a good road of gradual ascent to the rounded dome from which vantage point of five hun-dred feet elevation one has a superb view of the surrounding islands, towns, and the peaks and ranges of the Cas-cades, the Olympics, and the Canadian Coast range. The climber finds his way bordered with wild flowers. If the month is May, June, or July, he is walled in by tall hedge-like thickets of pungent wild roses; the pink-belled twin-flower car- pets his path, while lupine, larkspur and blue violets lend their note of deep blue to that of the sky and the water. One Hundred Ten If the party prefer, the entire round trip and the climb may be made in one day, in which case one of the never-to-be- forgotten scenes of the return voy-age is the sunset on the water and the islands as the boat glides homeward. MOUNT BAKER PREPARATORY For the culmination of the hikers' and climbers' paradisaic season, the ascent of Mount Baker, a long and interesting series of hikes and climbs is undertak-en. It includes semi-weekly hikes of from three to ten or twelve miles each, the shorter ones taking place from 3 to 8 p. m. on a school day, and the longer ones on Saturday. In addition there are tri-weekly individual climbs up Sehome Hill. Many places of beauty are visited on the preliminaries: Lake Padden, Whatcom Falls Park, Normalstad, Toad Lake, Lake Louise, State Park, Natural Dry Dock, Lost Lake and others. Next in order after these local places come the. two preliminary mountain trips, the first of which is known as the Austin Pass Trip SKYLINE RIDGE We take auto stages to Glacier where we make our headquarters, camping on the banks of the Nooksack river. Three climbs may be taken from this base. ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 111 ---------- That to Skyline Ridge is perhaps the most interesting. The climb is preced-ed by a three-mile auto ride or a walk of that distance to reach the trail. The climb itself is five miles in length over a beautiful woods trail delightfully shady until the meadows are reached. All the ordinary varieties of wild flow-ers common to this locality are found along this trail. The party that made the trip last summer passed through two or three miles of path bordered with the thick, glossy mat of the pink-belled twin-flower vine. At the meadows one finds the real mountain flowers of all colors and kinds, some of them peeping through melting snow banks. When one has made the last steep ascent and arrives at the top, he is more than repaid for his pains by the breath-taking vision of surrounding snow peaks. They entirely surround the Ridge, and most of them seem of approximately the same eleva-tion. But there to the north is rugged Shuksan, grand old man of all the mountains, and to the east, seemingly only a few rods, but in reality several miles distant, looms our own Baker, gor-geous in the sunshine. No matter how many wonderful mountain scenes one may see later, he never forgets his first sight of the panorama from Skyline Ridge. CHURCH MOUNTAIN To approach Church Mountain, the would-be climber gets a preliminary thrill by crossing the foaming current of the Nooksack river in a self-pro-pelled basket attached to a cable. After a short walk he strikes the trail and makes the stiff five-mile climb up to, and over, the bare face of the rock to the very top of the mountain where he is rewarded by the same marvelous mountain scenery wh i ch prevails throughout the Mount Baker district. AUSTIN PASS Only think of being able to snowball and to slide in the snow on a hot Fourth of July! That is what the Normal crowd did last summer at Austin Pass meadows. True, there was not very much snow, but there was enough to cool parched faces and throats, and to furnish some hilariously good fun. Not that the eight-mile hike to the pass was not also enjoyable, for it was. It was easy, too. At least four miles of it lay along a good roadbed, and after we left the road we traversed an interest-ing path through the woods until we came to the meadows. But it was hot! And that snow and the tiny silver threads of waterfalls, and the little, sluggish, flower-filled brook trickling out of the snowbanks looked most in-viting. There were lovely pools, too, lying clear and warm in the sun, With the softest water in them one could im-agine. That is why some of us were glad to take off our hiking boots and wade. We had had occasional glimpses of mountain scenery along this path, and found more when we reached the meadows. Also, we had our first sight of mountain heather, three varieties of it, with its beautiful white, reddish pink, or cream bells. And while we rested, or explored, Mr. Kolstad made the fin-est coffee to go with our lunch of sand-wiches and fruit. We shall all want to go again this summer and see the changes wrought by the new automobile road and by the hostelry which has been built. HANNEGAN PASS (By a Student Who Was There) No one who can afford the time and money for such a trip as that to Han-negan Pass should miss going at some time. It was an adventure from be-ginning to end, filled with glorious scenery and many surprising thrills. We left the Normal at five-thirty Friday afternoon, July 25th. A few went earlier in their own cars. The rest of us, about twenty-five in number, were packed into a huge gray stage. Our blankets and baggage were thrown on top, and after we left town four of us girls climbed on top also. The scen-ery was typical of the mountainous country we were approaching. Mount Baker and many smaller mountains were in view along the way. About half way to Glacier we changed cars. There was one smaller stage and a large touring car. I found myself in the stage and rode the re-mainder of the way with my feet dang-ling over the side on the baggage. It One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 112 ---------- was a merry crowd with many songs and jokes. Everybody was having a. good time. We passed through Glacier and went on a short distance beyond Shuksan until we came to where the trail to Hannegan Pass begins. Everything was unloaded and Mr. Kolstad decided to spend the night near the road instead of hiking in three-quarters of a mile to Swamp creek, where Mr. Bond and those who had gone up earlier had cartped. We all unrolled our blankets and made ready for the night, when suddenly the word was passed around that we would go on in to Swamp creek after all. Somehow we managed to get our belongings together again and the packers loaded them onto the pack horses. Then Mr. Kolstad led the caravan with a lighted candle and we made our way slowly through the dark forest We got to Swamp creek eventually and Mr. Bond had a roaring fire with coffee and sandwiches ready for the travelers. When our hunger had been satisfied we unrolled our blankets for the second time and made ready for the night. Mr. Bond put himself out, as he always does, to be everyone's special guardian on the entire trip. He found my part-ner and me the softest, mossiest place possible and helped us make our beds, after which he did the same for each of the others. I slept straight through the night without waking once, probably due to the fact that I brought a pillow with me. The others were all wakened dur- ing the night by the screams of a near-by cougar, which evidently did not ap-prove of his forest being invaded by such a host of human beings. I wish I could have heard it, just for curios-ity's sake, but I might not have slept well afterward. We were up as soon as daylight came. Bacon and eggs, coffee and bread and butter were served for breakfast. By five we were on the trail. We walked mile after mile, gradually npward. The trail led us along the sides of a canyon, through which Ruth creek tumbled and roared. The day was remarkably clear. Every peak stood clearly outlined against the sky. We averaged about two miles an hour, reaching Hannegan One Hundred Twelve Pass in five hours. About half way to the Pass we spied a large cinnamon bear across the canyon. We yelled and shouted and he lumbered clumsily toward us, but soon disappeared in the woods. The last three-quarters of a mile the trail rises nearly a thousand feet, making a good stiff climb. The Pass itself is five thousand feet above sea level. Because of the mild winter last year, the snow in the Pass was gone. We found a good place for a camp a little distance farther where there was water, and built a roaring camp fire, preparatory to cooking din-ner as soon as the pack horses came up with the supplies. Anything tastes good when one has hiked ten miles, and we hungrily gobbled down the macaroni and cheese provided for our noonday repast (which would have been good enough at any time). As soon as dinner was over, Messrs. Bond, Brown, Katterman, Elder and a number of others went fishing down the Nooksack river. Austin Bond as leader took a group of us up on Goat Moun-tain. Often we were forced to crawl up the steep heather- covered hillsides on our hands and knees. Here and there we crossed patches of snow from which trickled little streams of water. We drank thirstily at nearly every one. At last we were on the highest knoll. Rising high above the far side of the Pass was Ruth Mountain, and behind it loomed up old Shuksan, the most peril-ous of all the peaks. It is known to have been climbed only four times in all its history. To the south we got a magnificent view of Mount Baker and to the north Copper Mountain and the Saddle. A long high ridge connects Goat Mountain with Copper Mountain and ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 113 ---------- we carefully selected the safest-looking route down to the Ridge. The last half of the way we took sliding down a snowslide. There were only eight of us game for the longer hike. We trav-eled several miles along the top of the Ridge and then climbed Copper Moun-tain. An even more wonderful view could be seen from there. Not only all the former peaks were visible but others to the west, and the Canadian peaks to the north. Everywhere on the mountains are mountain-goat trails, and we were con-stantly on the lookout for some of the wary creatures themselves. At last our search was rewarded. Just as we reached the top of one of the highest knolls on Copper Mountain we saw two goats on a snowbank across the canyon. One of the fellows slipped around to try to get a picture. While he was on his way the mother goat and her little kid lay down under a snow-bank. Consequently the man who was going to take the snapshot frightened them before he discovered they were hidden. They jumped up without warn-ing and rushed headlong down the three-thousand-foot wall of the canyon. Without a break in speed they reached the bottom unhurt and ran on out of sight. As the wind was blowing from them to us, we had a good view of them for thirty-five minutes before they took fright. We returned to camp by the same route until we came to about the mid-dle of the Ridge when we struck off to the left down an old torrent bed. We followed this down and down, slipping, sliding, and bruising ourselves until it seemed that we would never reach the bottom, when all of a sudden we came out on the forest rangers' trail about three miles below camp. We had hard-ly started up the trail when the-fishers, homeward bound, caught up with us. One peep at their basket of Dolly Var-dens and we knew what our breakfast the next morning would consist of. We were all about ready to drop in our tracks by the time we got to camp, or I should say, a good while before we reached it. However, a blazing fire and an appetizing meal of potatoes, ham, beans and coffee somewhat re-vived our spirits. Stories of the day's adventures and adventures of former times were ex-changed around the fire before we sought our beds to try to get a little sleep and rest in preparation for the next day's climb. Morning broke cold and foggy without a mountain in sight, It was a rather glocmy outlook for a climb up a most dangerous peak. Al-though most of us were eager to go, still we seemed unconsciously to put off the time for starting as long as possi-ble. Breakfast actually lasted two and a half hours. Flapjacks, fried trout, and bacon were on the menu. With a large crowd a delay of this sort could be avoided by dividing the party into two and cooking over separate fires with a double outfit. Even oldtimers have something to learn or re-learn on every trip. At last we started up Ruth, or the mountain which must be crossed before reaching Ruth proper. We took a cir-cuitous route to the left instead of going up over the heather and over the knob. Once we had a splendid slide of snow, but were so wet and uncomfortable as a result that we did not try the experi-ment again. We began to climb Ruth Mountain, and ten of the group who were making better time went clear to the top. The rest of us went about two-thirds of the way and got a good look into a deep blue-green crevasse. A hailstorm alternating with rain began One Hundred Thrteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 114 ---------- and for fear that we would not reach camp in time to start home at two o'clock, we turned back. Those who reached the top had a most unusual ex-perience. Due to the coming of an electric storm a great deal of static elec-tricity was gathered at the top of the mountain. This caused a queer sensa-tion of an electric shock. It made their hair stand on end and gave them shocks when they touched each other. Afraid of more severe manifestations, they made haste to get away from the phe-nomenon. In the mountains we saw every de-scription of wild flowers, such as dais-ies, many varieties of heather, true Sol-omon's seal, heliotrope, tiger lilies, snapdragons, bleeding hearts, colum-bines, and a host of others. Wild ani-mals are scarce, or rather hard to dis-cover. Altogether we saw four bears, two mountain goats, grouse, quail, mice, whistling marmots, eagles, and a few other birds. The forests are very still, emphasizing the scarcity of song birds. As I mentioned before, we also heard cougars, but failed to see any. We who returned to camp earliest ate d:nner and started on the trail for Swamp creek and home, at about two-thirty. We reached the highway in sev-eral hours, without adventure, but very weary. The pack horses and the rest of the party soon appeared and we began to sort out our belongings. Then some-thing which might have been a serious disaster was discovered. Austin Bond was missing. He had not come into camp after descending Ruth Mountain. There were many conjectures as to what could have happened. Those who had been with him last said that they had left him on the heather within calling distance of the camp. Messrs. Bond and Burlingame hastened back over the trail, leaving orders for pack horses to follow. There was nothing for the rest of us to do except to go home and hope for the best. There was little hilarity on the way, as might be expected. The roads were exceedingly slippery and we drove very slowly for fear of acci-dent. The next morning there were many thankful hearts when we heard the glad news that the lost had been found. He One Hundred Fourteen was coming along about six miles back on the trail, so tired that he could scarcely navigate, but otherwise unhurt. It appeared that he had gone too far to the left thinking his brother, Elden, had gone that way, and had come down into Ruth creek canyon some distance below the camp. In order to get out he had to retrace his steps up the treacherous climb and by the time he had gained camp everyone had left. When he finally reached camp, no one was there to welcome him save a black bear which was diligently cleaning up the scraps, all his forty-seven compan-ions thinking he had gone on ahead. He started on the downward trail, but after such a rough and tiring time he did not make very good speed. They loaded him on a pack-horse, reaching the road at ten-thirty and Bellingham at one o'clock. This was the happy ending to the most glorious camping-out party I ever experienced. I understand now why those who go into the wilds once are called back year after year to enjoy again their first thrills.--DOROTHY BETH FAY. MOUNT BAKER LODGE Plans for the erection of a cabin on Heliotrope Ridge, the base for the Mount Baker climb, are under consid-eration. This cabin will be a distinct asset, as there is at present no shelter at the Ridge save a small ranger's cabin which will afford protection to not more than five or six persons. The lodge, which will be built with Association funds, will shelter from seventy-five to one hundred girls. Those interested in the project expect it to be ready for use within another year. The Association also expects to own a complete outfit of camp equipment including cooking and eating utensils and alpine stocks, for the use of stu-dents making this trip. The hope is that instead of one trip to Mount Baker each summer there will be a hiking party of fifty or more students every week-end throughout the season. HELIOTROPE RIDGE (Weekly Messenger, Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 8, 1924.) The Normal mountain climbers left this morning at 6 o'clock on their first lap ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 115 ---------- toward the ascent of Mount Baker. They reached Glacier about 7 o'clock, and started on the eleven-mile hike to Heliotrope Ridge, where they will camp tonight. This after-noon will be spent in preparing camp, get-ting ready for the early start to the top, and exploring nearly all points of interest. It is estimated that about sixty or sev-enty took the trip. Members of the faculty going are President Fisher, Mr. Kolstad, Miss Johnson, Mr. Kibbe, Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Jones, Miss Wiggins, Mr. Bond, Mr. Irwin and Mr. Hartline. They expect to reach the summit some time Saturday afternoon. The party will re-turn to Bellingham Sunday evening. MOUNT BAKER SCALED BY MORE THAN SIXTY (Weekly Messenger, Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 15, 1924.) Sixty-two people, under the leadership of Mr. Hazard, of Seattle, and Mr. Kolstad, reached the top of Mount Baker, Saturday, August 8. The ascent was very successful in that all excepting one, who attempted the climb, reached the summit. The party camped at Heliotrope Ridge Friday night. Everyone was roused at four o'clock Saturday morning, and breakfast was served at five. At half past five the climb-ers hit the trial, the scouts leading. Grease paint was applied at snow line. White, pink, brown and orange colors were used and some very singular appearances were in evi- dEnce. Here the party was joined by Don Tunstall, who made a hurried trip from Bellingham after the play Friday night, in order to make the climb. After this the scouts, Tunstall, Young, Rice, Hinthorne and Mr. Kibbe, led on up the glacier. The first difficulty came a half hour later when the first snow bridge was crossed. The party advanced without inter-ruption until 10:30, when a stop was made for eating prunes and sugar. Some very large crevasses were encountered before the climbers reached the Saddle at 1:30. Here lunch was eaten and a half hour given to rest. The small amount of snow below the Roman Walls made the last part of the climb most difficult. It was very icy in places and some of the crevasses were dan-gerous to cross. The party was separated into two divisions and the ropes were used for the first time. Two large iocks came bounding down from the cliffs above and passed through the line of the first division. The last difficulties were surmounted in climbing the Roman Walls. The last of the party reached the top at 5:30, after twelve hours of climbing. CoMING DowN EAsY The descent was much easier and safer than the ascent. Many long slopes offered fine opportunities for sliding. All were in camp by 8:30. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was the pictures that were secured. Many interesting things recorded in pic-tures form a lasting history of a worth-while achievement. One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 116 ---------- EXCURSIONS BY WATER The mountains have their part, the sea has his, in the recreational side of life at normal. Each year during the spring and summer quarters there are numerous opportunities for boating par-ties. There is the private party or the club that goes cut for a day's picnic or a week-end trip to our neighboring Isle of Lummi, to the Sucia Islands of the San Juan group, or to Orcas Island where one can combine boating, fishing, swimming, and clam digging with the climbing of Mount Constitution, the highest point on the Sound. Or per-haps the goal is Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, where our marine school maintains summer courses, or where by chance, our baseball team is playing a local squad. If the latter, then the Normal has been known to sponsor an all-school excursion and picnic. Very popular, too, are the numerous excursions to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, the capital of the Province of British Columbia. There one feels the thrill of landing on foreign soil, and has all the joy of the foreign traveller in taking the various sight-seeing tours, in viewing the Parliament buildings, the museum, the castles, the parks, and sunken gardens, the observatory with its mammoth telescope, and other things to delight the traveler's soul and eye. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 117 ---------- One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 118 ---------- ,V 1 L THE ALLISON CUP AT LAST The Allison Cup which for the past five years has been the basis of con-tention between the Normal schools of the state, has at last found a permanent home at Bellingham. This trophy was presented to the Normal schools of Washington by Guy S. Allison, an alumnus of Bellingham Normal from the class of 1907. The rules formulated by Mr. Allison in 1921, when he presented the cup, were to the effect that a school must win a majority of the judges' votes in the V tri-Normal debates to gain possession of the cup. The rules further stipulated that a school must win for three consecutive years to gain permanent possession of the trophy. Cheney Normal was victorious in 1921 and again in 1922. Bellingham broke this winning streak in 1923 with a sweeping victory, and Cheney's hopes of gain-ing permanent possession of the cup were blasted, for that year at least. The debates of 1924 were very close and hard fought, resulting in a tie be-tween Cheney and Bellingham. In the deciding contest Cheney once more tasted defeat and Bellingham won the second consecutive victory. The victory which has been won this year has completed the work begun in 1923 and the Allison cup is destined to remain in Bellingham as one of her cherished possessions. Greater interest in debate work is expected next year. There has been formed within the school a debate club known as the Allison Debate Club. New and capable speakers should be found within the school, by the aid of this so- ciety, to meet the keen ccmpetition for the new trophy which has been offered by Mr. Allison. He stated in a recent letter to the school that the cup for next year will be even larger and better than the one recently won. Most of the credit for the victories this year in the inter-Normal triangular debates must be given to Miss Madden, the new coach. The outlook was anything but bright when the call went out for debaters this year. There was not a mem-ber from a former Bellingham team or a single student with post-high-school ex-perience available. Miss Madden's task was not only to coach winning teams but also to find the material for the teams. She planned, as a means of accomplishing this, an intramural debate tournament. This plan was eagerly entered into by the stu-dents and soon the strains of eloquent oratory could' be heard emanating from secluded nooks. One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 119 ---------- POYHONEN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD MADDEN, COACH VAN ETTEN LE MASTER LEONARD WOLBERT CLARK "Resolved, That the United States Cancel Her European War Debts" was the question decided upon for discussion. Several clubs selected teams and the following schedule was arranged: Philo vs. Thespians. Alkisiah vs. Aletheians. Independents vs. Independents. The three teams declared victors in these debates included those representing the Aletheians, the Thespians and an Indepndent team. The Independent team, after defeating the Aletheians, also defeated the Thespians at a regular assembly on January 13. The students were called upon to give the decision by popular vote. A small majority of three votes decided the victors. The winners had success-fully upheld the affirmative side of the question, by their contention that the European nations can pay, that there are means by which such payment can be made, and that it will be for the economic betterment of the world if payment is made. The speakers to defend the Normal's claim to the Allison Cup were selected from those who took part in this tournament. Their victory is due to the able coaching of Miss Madden and to the masterful aid given to the teams by Mr. Arntzen and other members of the faculty during their final preparation. "Resolved, That Japanese immigration in the United States should be regu-lated on a percentage basis, Japan's per cent to be on a parity with that of European nations." This was the question used for each of the debates this year. One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 120 ---------- INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE Bellingham, affirmative, 2; Cheney, 1. Bellingham, negative, 2; Ellensburg, 1. The Tri-Normal debate was held February 26. Unlike the usual procedure the affirmative teams were the ones to travel. The Bellingham affirmative team debated at Cheney, while the negative team met Ellensburg here. The members of the team traveling to Cheney were Warner Poyhonen, Inez Clark and Gretchen Wolbert. Mr. Arntzen accompanied them as faculty adviser. They based their argument upon the fact that by the statement of the question Japanese might be admitted on a percentage basis just as European nations, but that a special treaty should be made with Japan to admit only the desirables. They further showed that by such a policy friendly relations with Japan would be assured and thus trade would be promoted. Myra Leonard, Floid Van Etten, and Velma Le Master upheld the negative side of the question upon the home floor. They defeated the Ellensburg team by pointing out that the Japanese are unassimilable; that one unassimilable Orien-tal race cannot be admitted without admitting all Orientals; and that it would be setting up a dangerous precedent to admit them on a parity with European nations since there is a clause in the immigration laws of the United States which declares that no alien ineligible to citizenship shall be admitted to the United States. Badger Club, Negative, 2; Bellingham, affirmative, 1. Two men from the Badger Club of the University of Washington defeated a local team at a special assembly March 12. Meryl Byrd and John Fitzgerald were the speakers representing the Bellingham Normal. The men from the University won by their greater experience in debate. The Bellingham boys are both capable organizers and clear thinkers, and with this year's experience behind them they will make a strong bid for honors in debate next year. O. A. C., negative, 3; Bellingham, affirmative, 0. The debate schedule this year included a debate with a woman's team from the Oregon Agricultural College. This debate was held March 5 at a regular assembly. Inez Clark and Gretchen Wolbert were the speakers composing the Bellingham team. The speakers from O. A. C. were clever entertainers as well as debaters. The Bellingham speakers presented their rebuttal arguments in a com-mendable manner. One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 121 ---------- The Music Artists Course Through the efforts of President Fisher this school has secured the best possible advantages in music. Aside from the school's well organized classes, a series of the very highest grade musical numbers are given in Bellingham through the co-operation of the Women's Music Club and the Normal School. Admission, to con-certs is secured by means of the student body ticket. Louis GRAVEURE In the first number of the course Louis Graveure was presented. Mr. Gra-veure has a wide reputation for his great variety of music. During his life he has done many things beside study music. One of these was to spend several years at sea and at fishing. All of these experiences have helped him to interpret his songs to his audience with greater truth of life. Each year Mr. Graveure travels aboard se-curing new and interesting music to delight his listeners. Sandor, his accompanist, is a pianist of note whom Mr. Graveure engaged in Europe. Mr. Sandor's art adds greatly to the completeness of the concert. SOPHIE BRASLAU Sophie Braslau, a young contralo, was presented in song recital January 9, 1925. Miss Braslau was born in New York and has had most of her training in America. She began her training as a pianist, but someone discovered her voice and her career began in grand opera, where she soon won a cordial liking. For several years she has been devoting her time to concert work. Miss Braslau has a magnificent voice, ranging from the very deepest tones to those quite high. Added to this large list of good qualities she has a fascinating power of stirring her audience with her songs. MARIE IVOGUN On January 21, Marie Ivogun was presented in the third concert of the series. Miss Ivogun greatly pleased her audience with an artistic program and a charming personality. Ivogun has a surprisingly high voice and clear, sweet tones. Her program, including many encores, contained a large number of favorite songs which were truly appreciated by the audience. W. S. C. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB February 14, the W. S. C. Girls' Glee Club entertainment was remarkable for its "snap" and variety. The girst group of songs was sung by the entire chorus. Following that was a violin solo by Miss Reynolds. The quartet sang several fine numbers. Miss Pettibone played a piano solo. The whole Glee Club gave a Chinese extravaganza, in which number the girls were dressed in Chinese costumes. They gave a very weird chant and dance while the quartet sang to the accompaniment of odd little Chinese guitars. Between this and the Scotch act, the trio, consisting of violin, 'cello and piano, played several numbers. This last number featured Janet Rae, Pullman's Harry Lauder. Students felt that they were well paid for hearing these girls on their fourth annual tour. ALBERTO SALVI Alberto Salvi, world-famous Italan harpist, was presented in concert at the First Church of Christ on February 17. All of those who heard Salvi play were filled with amazement at the perfection of his art and the pure, full tones produced. He was born in Venice, the son of a harp maker, and his musical training started early. From the age of six or seven years he showed his love for music by dragging one of his father's great harps into a corner and playing for hours upon it. Finally, the harp maker made for his son a small-sized instrument. Salvi played several of his own compositions. As encores he played numbers that are universal favorites, such as Bacarolle, Sextette from Lucia, Die Lammer-moor and Mother Machree. When he had finished playing, his listeners felt that they had truly heard great and inspiring art. One Hundred Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 122 ---------- FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet's program given at the Christian Church on the eve-ning of April 16 was a genuine treat to the music lovers who heard it. All the numbers were heartily applauded, and the Quartet graciously responded with several encores. The artists playing were Adolfo Betti, first violin; Karl Kraeuter, second violin; Felicien d'Archambeau, viola; and Iwan d'Archambeau, violoncello. Mr. Kraeuter, who occupied the second violin desk, was supplied by the courtesy of the Festival Quartet of South Mountain to take the place of Mr. Alfred Phochon, who could not be in his place because of temporary illness. The name "Flonzaley' 'has an interesting origin. Mr. Edward J. de Coppet of New York City, a wealthy and enthusiastic lover of music, particularly of the string quartet, often entertained his friends with small informal concerts in his own home. His ambition to establish a permanent string quartet took shape when he spent the summer of 1902 at his Swiss villa on Lake Geneva. Here he met Mr. Pochon, the present second violinist of the quartet. Mr. de Coppet, delighted with Pochon's playing, invited him to his home to discuss the forming of a permanent string quartet. Mr. de Coppet agreed to be the financial sponsor for the group, while Mr. Pochon was to secure the players. As a result of much work, Mr. Pochon secured Adolfo Betti of Brussels Con-servatory for the first violin. Ura Aara, a young Italian who was studying in Vienna, accepted the offer to play the viola parts, while Mr. Pochon was equally fortunate in securing the services of Iwan d'Archambeau, a brilliant Belgian 'cellist. The four musicians met for the first time at "Flonzalea," Mr. de Coppet's Swiss villa, and took the name by which they have become famous in the world of music. They came to America in 1904. At that time they performed only for Mr. de Coppet and his friends. Occasionally they gave a public concert for charitable purposes but it was the founder's wish that the quartet should give no public per-formances. In 1906, however, a change was made in the business relations, and the quartet became independent and sulf- supporting. Since that t:me their work has become widely recognized. They have played in four hundred American cities, have made eighteen hundred appearances in America, and more than five hundred in Europe. This group of players is largely responsible for the growing interest for chamber music in this country. Music critics unanimously praise the Flonzaley Quartet. Lecture Course OCTOBER 1, 1924 Mr. J. B. Sears, from the School of Education of Leland Stanford University, California, addressed the first student assembly of the year on the subject of "Tradition and Science in Education. "In his lecture Mr. Sears attacked thoughtless remarks and emphasized the fact that "it is worth while to size one's self up and see where one stands in one's ability to reason." OCTOBER 21, 1924 One of the most gifted speakers of the fall quarter was Mr. Dhan Gopal Mukerji, who delivered two lectures to the Normal students on the relations of the East and the West. In the first lecture, given in the morning, Dr. Mukerji spoke on "The Present Crisis in the East," and in the afternoon he spoke on "What America Has to Contribute to the East." Mr. Mukerji spoke of the lack of spirituality among the western peoples and asked that we give more time toward developing our spiritual side. One Hundred Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 123 ---------- OCTOBER 31, 1924 Mr. Jay Nash, director of Physical Education at Oakland, California, spoke on the lack of attention given toward the necessary development of the physical resources of America. He gave examples of physical education as taught in the public schools over the country and also some very good advice toward obtaining and keeping good health. NOVEMBER 17, 1924 One of the most interesting talks of the season was delivered by Arthur L. Coggeshall, paleonotologist, who turned the clock back over six million years dur-ing the hour in which he lectured on "Hunting Big Game in the Rocks." Mr. Coggeshall, who is Director of Education of Carnegie Museum, has toured America and Europe extensively and has contributed much to science in his study of dinosaur life. DECEMBER 11, 1924 Ruth Bryan Owen, as gifted in oratory as is her well-known father, William Jennings Bryan, gave an interesting and educational lecture on the topic of "Open-ing Doors." Mrs. Owen has spent a great deal of time traveling in Europe, Africa and Asia Minor and she described the social life and business relations of these peoples in a most entertaining manner. DECEMBER 15, 1924 Students of art and those having an artistic sense were very appreciative of the illustrated lecture delivered by Mr. Haig Arklin. Mr. Arklin, who is an artist himself, conceived the idea of making copies of famous paintings as he saw them in his travels in Europe and bringing them here in order that American people might become more familiar with the works of great artists. "America," says Mr. Arklin, "has attained great heights of economic and political perfection, but she has not contributed toward the art of the world. Now is the time for her genius to be turned to the production of art." JANUARY 19, 1925 The Normal had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Thomas Curtin, famous journal-ist and specialist in foreign affairs, lecture January 19 on the subject of "European Affairs." Dr. Curtin's talk was one of the most educational and interest- holding of the year. He described pre-war and after-war conditions in Europe and America. When asked by Lloyd George what great lesson we had learned from the World War, Dr. Curtin replied, "Any structure, to last and en-dure, must be put on a foundation that is morally sound." At the close of the lecture he expressed his appreciation of the interest and knowledge the Normal students had on the subject. FEBRUARY 11, 1925 A more pleasing and more entertaining assembly was never called than was the one wherein Mr. Noah Bulharz, noted reader, interpreted "The Hoosier School-master." Mr. Bulharz gave the story at Normal a few years ago and was so enthusiasti-cally received by his audience that he was asked to repeat the reading when he came to Bellingham again this winter. The characters were alive; in fact, so much so, that they seemed to step out of the book. The use of costumes and wigs, combined with Mr. Bulharz's talent, made the reading entirely delightful.

Though only seventeen students have been elected this year it is the intention of the socity to bring the membership up to its full quota as soon as eligible candidates are available. The objectives of the society are to provide recognition of scholastic attainment, thereby stimulating greater endeavor in the entire student body, and to provide op-portunity for student members to meet outsiders of similar scholastic outlook. To realize these objectives a progressive program is being planned. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 125 ---------- Leadership Societ Uj Functions of this society: To give recognition to students for good leadership; to stimulate better thinking in the student body on the matter of what constitutes good leadership, and thus to make for better selection of leaders; to lead to a study of the factors involved in good leadership in order that members of the society and students may better develop their capacities for leadership. The following were chosen by a committee consisting of the President of the Normal School, the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men as the charter members of the Leadership Society: MILTON BLONDEN ROSE GRAY JOYCE GUNDERSON EDGAR HANNAH DAISY HOWARD ZENO KATTERLE CONSTANCE MARKUSON CATHARINE DON MARQUIS JACK MCELHINEY LULU MINKLER VIOLET NEAL MARIE PARKER BEATRICE THOMAS SYBIL TUCKER WATTS At the first meeting of the society the following were elected officers: President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Other leaders elected to membership are: HELEN ALLMAIN MARY CULVER ARNOLD KAAS IRA LOREE MARGARET MCROBERT ZENO KATTERLE EDGER HANNAH MILTON BLONDEN WARD PRIGG CATHERINE RANDALL ELSA SCHUBERT DOROTHY SHIPLEY MIRIAM TAYLOR o One Hundred Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 126 ---------- * -.g EDENS' HALL, SCENE OF MANY STUDENT SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THE MAIN LIBRARY WHERE WE MAY BE WHEN NOT IN CLUB MEETINGS One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 127 ---------- WOMEN'S LEAGUE DANCE IN EDENS' HALL MEN'S CLUB GROUP One Hundred Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 128 ---------- Camp Fire Girls At the beginning of the winter quarter, three Camp Fire groups were organized with Miss Jones, Miss Rosene, and Miss Frank as guardians. The main purpose of the groups is to train their members to be guardians who will be capable of organiz-ing and leading other groups of Camp Fire girls in various parts of the state. At the end of the course each girl is awarded a guardian's certificate if she has attended ninety per cent of the meetings, met all other requirements, and planned a three months' program for a Camp Fire group. The law of the Camp Fire Girls is to seek beauty, give service, pursue knowl-edge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, and be happy. The Camp Fire program centers around the watchword "Wohelo," meaning work, health, and love. The "Desires" of the three ranks express a real comradeship of friends, the love of man for God, and the desire to share with others the good and beautiful things of the world. The program for the year included lectures and demonstrations on symbolism, wood blocking, requirements for rank and course, book binding, nature lore, girls' psychology, basketry, program planning, blue prints, and other topics of interest to a Camp Fire Girl. At a meeting on May 29, President Fisher spoke on "What Girls Can Do as Leaders." One council fire was held. It was conducted by Miss Ruth Brown, Executive Secretary from Seattle. A "birds' breakfast" given at the end of Sunset Trail was one of the enjoyable events of the year. There were about fifty members in the three groups during the winter quarter. Lois Booher was president; Myrtle Carlson, secretary; Alice Vaughn, treasurer, and Catherine McEwen, reporter. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 129 ---------- Gulj Allison Debate Club The purpose of the Guy Allison Debate Club is to increase interest in debate in the Normal and to give the members drill in parliamentary procedure. The first meeting was called by Miss Sperry, December 5. Miriam Bixby was appointed temporary chairman while the following officers were elected: Ruth Little, president; Lois Peck, treasurer; Bessie Carlson, vice-president; Velma Le Master, secretary. Miss Rich and Mr. Arntzen were chosen sponsors. Debates have been scheduled with Whatcom and Fairhaven on the question: "Resolved, That the Philippines should be granted immediate independence." On February 26, the club entertained the Ellensburg debate team consisting of Elmer Kennedy, Don Nylan, Emmanuel Burnstein and Coach Lucius Forbes. The debaters were met at their hotel and taken for a trip over Chuckanut High-way by the committee consisting of Ruth Little, Lois Peck, Geneva Roswell, Dingman Bjema, Robson Graham, John Fitzgerald and Mr. Fowler. They were further entertained before the debate by Catharine Watts, who played a violin number. After the debate a reception was held in the Edens Hall reception room in honor of the debaters. All debate club members, the judges, the Board of Control and personal friends of the Ellensburg debaters were invited. Much of the feel-ing of comradeship and hospitality was due to the steaming hot chocolate con-cocted by Gladys Burrows and served by Opal Regenvetter and Gladys Lee. The chairman of the social committee, Emily Hendrickson, wishes to thank those people who have done those "thankless jobs" which contribute so much to everyone's comfort. The year's work of the club has on the whole been a success. The work has given the members valuable experience in organization and cooperation, as well as companionship in a group with similar interests. One Hundred Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 130 ---------- The Normal Drama Club The purpose of the Normal Drama Club is to further interest in the spoken drama, and to give club members experience in actual play production. This is carried out by the presentation, each quarter, of one play. Membership in the club is granted at tryouts held at the first of every year, or at the tryouts for the cast of any one play. The faculty advisers of the club are Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, Mrs. Annette Vaughan, and Mr. C. O. Newdall. These advisers constitute the tryout committee. The plays are directed by Mr. Hoppe, and the management of them is handled by members of the club. The Normal Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Newdall, presented a musical program with each of the three plays given during the year '24-'25. Officers for the year were elected at the first business meeting in the fall quarter of 1924. The following members were chosen and they served throughout the year: DoN MARQUIS . President EDNA CARLYLE Vice-President MARJORIE ADERTON Secretary The club gave a dance at the Victoria Hotel, December 5. The committee in charge was composed of Lulu Minkler, chariman; Franklin Lock and Lorraine Keaton. One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 131 ---------- In the summer quarter, 1924, "Twelfth Night" was presented in the Greenwood Theatre on the Normal campus. It was the fourth consecutive summer Shakespearean play given by the Drama Club. The production was staged three nights: August 6, 7 and 8. A dancing interlude of old English folk dances was given under the direction of the Physical Education department, while music was furnished by the Normal Orchestra under the direction of John Roy Williams. The cast, directed by Mr. Hoppe, was as follows: Olivia Viola Maria Duke Arsino Sebastian Antonio Sea Captain Valentine Curio Sir Toby Belch Sir Andrew Ague-Cheek Malvolio Fabian Clown .S . ELSIE JOHNSON KATHERINE SCHUPP FRANCES FARRAR HOWARD NESSON DON TUNSTALL THEO. CEDERBERG S . .

Vice-President CATHERINE RANDALL Secretary DoN MARQUIS Treasurer MIss MAUDE SLAWSON, MR. CLIFFORD NEWDALL S. ponsors The MacDowell Club, which is listed as a special organization, was organized early in the winter quarter. To about twenty-three charter members there have been added enough to reach the membership limit, which is thirty-five. The fol-lowing instructors in the music department of the institution were invited to be-come honorary members: Miss Ethel Gardner, Mr. Paul Lusterman, Mr. Clifford Newdall, Mr. Harrison Raymond, Miss Maude Slawson and Mr. John Roy Wil-liams. The aim of the club is to study the lives of composers and to render their works. The semi-monthly meetings are given to the study of one phase of music with vocal and instrumental illustrations by club members. The first meeting was devoted to a MacDowell program. Those following were on Indian music and the contributions of Cadman and Lieurance, and on negro music and the con-tributions of Stephen Foster. The club was named in honor of Edward MacDowell because of the great con-tribution he has made to American music and because of the efforts that his wife is putting forth to turn the MacDowell home into a place where musicians may live and study. There is a national organization of MacDowell clubs throughout the United States and it is an ambition of this club to become a member of the national or- ganization. One Hundred Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 134 ---------- W Club The years 1924-25 have been the most prosperous yet experienced in the life of the "W" Club. Its growth has been rapid because of the fact that a larger number of men are becoming interested in the athletics of the school. The "W" Club as an incentive, has urged more athletes to strive for the coveted emblem which this school bestows. Incidentally, the membership of the club has been in-creased threefold during the past school year. The organization has extended its activities throughout every section of the state. Special effort has been made to secure a high type of young man for this school. Successful attempts have been made to locate alumni who have earned their "W" in some sport and interest them in the organization so that closer association will result. Present indications point to a larger club next year, with activities which, it is hoped, will favorably affect the whole school.

AGNES TWEIT Assistant Secretary . CARLA LA VIGNE The purpose of the W. A. A. is to "promote a high physical efficiency among women of the Normal; to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics; to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship." At the end of the last school year the club had twenty-five members. Now it has nearly one hundred members, many of whom have received awards earned under the point system. During the year the club has taken an active part in inter-class athletics under the direction of Miss Frank and Miss Skalley. Bi-weekly hikes have been taken by the club under the leadership of Miss George. The W. A. A. has adopted a daily health program which has proved very suc-cessful. Health charts turned in monthly have shown the progress made by each member. The W. A. A. stands for physical efficiency, sportsmanship and good citi-zenship. With these ideals in view the club wishes to interest still more girls, because it offers something very worth while. The club members have suffered an immeasurable loss in the death of Miss Long, their friend and adviser. She took the greatest interest in the club and was untiring in her efforts to make it a better organization. Every W. A. A. member feels a deep personal loss and wishes to express an appreciation of Miss Long's work among them.

Simpson, Miss Grace Headrick, Miss Adele Jones, Miss May Mead, Miss Lola McMeen, Miss Ruth Schwartze, Mrs. Ed. Young. The Y. W. C. A. of this institution commends itself to the students for the op-portunity it affords in training for Christian leadership, for fine friendship, for Bible study, social service, and for the inspiration of the weekly devotional meeting. Speakers at the weekly meetings have been noted missionaries, prominent local religious workers, professors, and members of the organization. The pleasure of the meetings has been enhanced by special music. Nine Bible study classes with an enrollment of over one hundred and fifty meet each week. Rev. Gill, Miss Sperry, Mrs. Geo. MacL. Miller, and Mrs. Gun-derson are teachers. The Fifteenth Annual Bible Study Institute, under Mrs. J. Addison Campbell and Dr. Georgia Sattler, two of the most scholarly Bible teachers of the Northwest, was held in January and was received with enthusiasm. The first all-school affair of the year was the annual Y. W. C. A. reception held at Eden's Hall. The Hard Times party was perhaps one of the most unique and joyous events of the year, and the Y. W. C. A. Trip-Around-the-World has not yet met an equal in the eyes of the participants. One of the most inspirational and profitable affairs of the year is the Annual Missionary Convention held at Geneva on Lake Whatcom by interdenominational workers of the Northwest. Last summer Mr. Frazer, a missionary among the Lisu aboriginal Chinese, was one of the speakers most enjoyed. About sixty students were in attendance either after school hours or during the week-end at the lake. Much interest was kindled in undreamed-of opportunities for service. The needs of the field and opportunities for Christian teachers have been so presented that over twenty-two graduates of this institution have answered the call to do definite life work in the foreign fields, besides many who have been inspired to do work in the home field. One Hundred Thirty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 138 ---------- Leowjrhfa Club Back in the gray dawn of the history of the Leowyrhta Club, a nebulae of girls began to cluster around a center of interest in story telling. At first there was no organization; later as the number interested grew, formal organization took place. There are three important cornerstones in the foundation of the club. These are Friendship, Love of Good Stories, and Service. All of the girls strive, of course, to make fellow members dear friends. In club meetings the best of stories are told and read with deep appreciation. The members are always in active service at the libraries, and ready for any call coming from clubs and P. T. A.'s. The sponsors, Miss Jacobs and Miss Montgomery, and Miss Sperry, who is an honorary member, have guided the club successfully through the year. During Book Week in November a very interesting program was put on at the libraries. This year the annual program has been extended to take in the Silver Beach library, which is just struggling into existence. The social side of the club has not been neglected, for there have been many pleasant evenings together, the banquet being outstanding among these. The officers have been Daisy Howard, president; Dorothea Adolph, treasurer, and Lucile Norris, secretary.

Proud of the fact that theirs is the oldest club in the Bellingham Normal, and the only federated club, the members have tried to live up to Alkisiah standards. The club's objective of public service has been particularly stressed, although no meeting has been considered complete unless public speaking and current problems have had some part in it. One of the first activities of the year was the furnishing of popcorn balls for the Pre-Primary party. It is doubtful whether the children enjoyed the treat any more than did the girls who prepared it. During November the club brought the exhibit of originals by Washington artists to Bellingham. The collection contained many pictures which were both beautiful and interesting, for some of the scenes were familiar to Normal students. The display was held in the Normal building and many townspeople as well as students took advantage of the opportunity to learn something of Washington art and artists. On Friday, December 12, we initiated all new members who had been voted in during the quarter. The evening proved very amusing for the old members and the new ones won through strenuous endeavor the club spirit of "Once an Alki-siah, always an Alkisiah." Just before Christmas when the cold winds were blowing outside, the girls held their arnual bulb sale. Beautiful white narcissi which the members had grown were offered to the students and faculty at a reasonable price. Our annual club banquet which was held February 14 in the Tulip room at the Leopold hotel proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the season. The newer members gained appreciation of the club's past activities by meeting with the club workers who have graduated. Before the spring quarter closes we will have entertained the student body during one assemly period. To Miss Moffatt, the sponsor, and to Mrs. Vaughan, who is an active mem-ber, we are indeed grateful for the kind and generous assistance given during the past year.

ALICE FRANCIS A stands for Aletheia, and Aletheia stands for one of the finest clubs on the B. S. N. S. campus. Many were the happy times enjoyed by the members this year. A clever Hallowe'en party was staged in the Home Economics room of the school building. The girls all came in costume and many original characters ap-peared. One of the interesting features of the evening's entertainment was an il-lustrated talk on Alaska by Gaynelle Moses, who had just returned from two years of teaching in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The winter passed quickly. Many interesting meetings were held, at which literary subjects and topics of the day were discussed. The Aletheians did their part in making the Christmas program a success. A scene from the "Little Red Schoolhouse" was given which carried the audience back a few years into the past. The Aletheians also helped in making the Viking Vodvil an event which will not soon be forgotten. The club was fortunate in having two representatives on the debate squad which was so successful in debate this year. We have reason to be proud of Velma Le Master and Inez Clarke. Next to the never-to-be-forgotten week-end trip, the annual banquet will be the longest remembered affair of the year. The banquet, which was held at the Victoria Hotel, was a huge success. The table was beautifully decorated in rose and gray, the club colors. After the banquet the girls spent the remainder of the evening dancing. Miss Crawford, the club sponsor, has been greatly missed during her illness. She and Miss Longley, an honorary member, have done much in helping the club to live up to the symbol of Alethia, the owl, which signifies Life, Truth and Purity. One Hundred Forty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 142 ---------- Ohijesa Club The Ohiyesa Club was organized in the fall of 1916 and since that time has made steady progress. The purpose of the club is to give literary programs, parliamentary drills, debate, dramatic and social functions. Ohiyesa is an Indian word meaning "The Winner." Soon after the opening of the fall term of 1924 the members served tea in the Faculty Room to fifty guests. Since the tea the club has had several social functions. During the winter quarter the club served a luncheon in the club rooms of Edens Hall to fifteen new members. The annual banquet was held in the spring in the Tulip Room of the Hotel Leopold with all members present as well as many alumni. It was a great success as a get- together for both the new and the former members.

It certainly was a difficult thing to choose twenty-five new members out of the sixty who tried out. When we finally had them chosen we felt that we had the "cream" of the school. At the next meeting we had the election of officers and the following were chosen to lead the club for the quarter: President . . . Guy BOND Vice- President . DICK BRULAND Secretary CATHERINE RANDALL Critic EVANGELINE SOWERS In November we initiated about twenty of the new members and it was just as exciting as ever. The Philo hand-shake and the Philo drink still get the squeals. I was so sorry you couldn't come back for the birthday party in January. There were many old Philos there. It was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philippi. We spent a good share of the time playing the Philo crap game. I can still hear them yelling, "P- H-I, oh shoot, three P's." We were all given an intelligence test on poetry, too. Catherine Randall proved to be the smartest. At a very late hour a short musical program was given and then Mrs. Philippi, assisted by her two daughters, served us with the most delicious refreshments. The huge One Hundred Forty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 144 ---------- birthday cake with seventeen green candles on it was presided over by Guy Bond. Miss Headrick blew the candles out and there wasn't much air left in her when the last one flickered out. Mr. Kolstad was lucky. He got the ring, but he didn't tell us who it was or when it was to be. "Dutch" Wilder got the hairpin and I haven't been able to find out just what that means. I got the penny and when I come into my own I am going to build a cabin for the Philos out at the lake. Oh, it certainly was a successful party and we as a club certainly appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Philippi's hospitality. At our next club meeting we elected the officers for the second quarter: President .. MERYL BYRD Vice-President LELWYN ALGYER Secretary VIOLET NEAL Critic . MARIE PAKAR On the night of the opera "Cavaleria Rusticana" we had dinner at Edens Hall before attending the opera in a body. Every Philo was proud that one of their own members, Marguerite Saddler, took one of the leading roles. I know that you have been very anxious to know how we came out in basket-ball this season. The boys had a slicker team and they won in the game with our old rivals, the Thespians. They also defeated the Rural Lifers. The girls also had an undefeated season and we are very proud of our successes in athletics. Our initiation for the second quarter was held in Mr, Kolstad's cabin at the lake. How we all got into his little cabin will always be a mystery. If you want any details as to just what occurred there a good person to ask is Freda Slater. During the spring quarter we gave an interesting assembly program. In May we had our annual week-end party and it certainly was a shame that anyone had to miss that, for it was the crowning success of the year. We learned how to play baseball while we were there, to say nothing of the skill developed in playing checkers. We all feel that this was one of our most successful years and we owe much of our success to the untiring efforts of Mr. Philippi, club sponsor. We hope we will see you at the party next year with all of the rest of the former Philos. Yours, PHI. A One Hundred Forty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 145 ---------- Rural Life Club Rural Life, Rural Life, Out on the lea, happy and free, Rural Life, Rural Life, That is the life for me. Thus the Rural Lifers sang in the Viking Vcdvil last year. They sang this and many others as they wended their weary way up Mount Constitution. Zounds! But that was a glorious day and a wonderful time. The clouds obscured the view of Bellingham, but the climbers got many wonderful pictures along with blistered heels and toes. What is a night's sleep, more or less, with the floor for a bed, when one can see such wonderful scenery? Pancakes are food for the gods when fried by the right person. At least everyone who went on the Mt. Baker trip last spring declares this a true state-ment. In fact, they were so good that another trip is planned this year to get some more pancakes. (The scenery is purely incidental). The coal mine trip last spring convinced all the girls that they would be "well off" if they could don jeans and go to work. The boys think it would be all right if one didn't do any work. The summer session drifted in and as usual the pep in the club was dis-played in a salmon bake and a trip to Friday Harbor. "Bang!" What was that? Oh, nothing. Just the Rural Lifers starting the fall quarter. The first meeting was held at Miss Keeler's. At this meeting plans were laid and the usual routine business of the quarter begun. Refresh-ments made this regular meeting into a party and thus caused the explosive start of the club functions. One Hundred Forty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 146 ---------- The real reason for having a club is to study community problems, such as may be met through club and other extra-school activities. With this in view, programs are planned of varied nature according to purpose and season such as may be adapted to the community in which one serves. Parliamentary drill is one phase of the regular program through which actual working experi-ence is gained. The club is just getting to the interesting part of a model Parent Teacher Association. It began with a meeting called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of effecting such an organization and is now ready to complete the permanent organization, delegating to the various committees the actual work appropriate to such committees. "Adam" School District bids fair to have a model P. T. A. so that anyone missing meetings is certainly "coming out at the small end of the horn." The club has continued its policy of excursions and out-of-door recreation, for it is believed that such activities are educational and wholesome for the group and community. The trip up Sehome to plant ivy and flowers was a huge success. All nature appreciated it. Even the clouds showered good wishes on the party to make the venture a success. The combination Hallowe'en party and initiation made quite a stir. A few ghosts appeared on the scene, but were scared away by the manner in which the peanuts were crossing the floor and by the vigorous waving of paddles in the hands of the initiation committee. As usual everyone enjoyed the annual Christmas party at Dr. and Mrs. Miller's. Remarkable as it may seem, there was not a flunk in consequence of the fun had. Edens Hall made money for a week or so after January 26. What, didn't you know? Oh, that was the date of the annual Rural Life banquet. Stuffed? Well, I should say so; of course, no one had indigestion, for happiness aids di-gestion, and everyone was pleased with the entertainment provided by the com-mittee in charge and by the Victoria Hotel. The annual Valentine party at Edens Hall was a "heart smashing" good time. The prizes were appropriate and the refreshments more so. With a heart as a stake, who wouldn't be a gallant knight, participating in so thrilling a tournament ! Some folks declare there is no Lost Lake. Well, maybe there isn't, for the party that went out to find it came back without having had a glimpse of the lake, and the party that was trying to find them, found neither the lake nor the lost Rural Lifers. A perfect day has been ordered for the Mt. Constitution trip this year. The members want to see all there is to be seen this time. They also hope to eat pan-cakes fried in bear grease on Mount Baker before the year is out. Not willing to neglect their minds for their stcmachs, a trip through the cement plant and another down into the coal mine is planned. If you want to see a bunch that is willing to work, having a good time, "just watch Rural Life dust." Yours for a good time till this time next year and ever after- RURAL LIFE CLUB. One Hundred Forty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 147 ---------- Thespian Club June, 1925. DEAR DON: Say, but hasn't time gone fast! Just a year ago tonight you came home from Squalieum Beach where you had called the Thespian Club to order for the last time. Do you remember how blue you felt because your Thespian days were over, and how sorry you were for me that I didn't belong? Well, when I came back this fall, I decided that I was going to get into the club or die in the attempt. I started prac-ticing a poem on my room-mate until she was certainly glad when the day for the tryout came. The tryout was awful, and when 1' saw how good Joe and Margaret and all the rest were, I thought my chance of joining the talented crowd was pretty slim, so I was more than tickled when I got my card welcoming me into the club. "My mind kind of goes blank when I try to remember initiation night. I certainly got my share of carbolic acid, cat meat, and bumps. I guess the others suffered, too, though. I believe we had a Hallowe'en party afterwards-Paul and Don say we did-but I was so dazed and bruised up that I can't remember what happened. I remem-ber I thought 1 was seeing double when I first noticed Altie and Mrs. Ford together. I'll never forget the next week, though, when Dickey and Jack tried to look uncon-cerned behind their funny masks as they walked past Miss Schwartze in the dining room. Well, we certainly had good programs at the club meetings all winter. We studied different plays and Dorothy and Lulu put on a part of "The Maker of Dreams" for one meeting. One Hundred Forty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 148 ---------- The various clubs had tables to themselves at the Home-coming banquet in Edens Hall dining room so we Thespians had a real get-together. Let's see, I guess the next important thing our club did was to give the miracle play, "The Christmas Guest," at the Christmas assembly. We did everything to the new Thespians at the winter quarter initiation that was done to us, and almost ran them ragged. Floid and Don made a hurried last will and testament when they smelled the carbolic acid. Mary's ride on the wheelbarrow was good. Evelyn, Beverly and Selma didn't particularly enjoy the hours of wash-ing dishes while the rest of us danced, but finally even they admitted that it was a swell club. The best part of the initiations came the next week. Chauncey and John spent most of their time up a tree yelling for the Thespian Club, while Jessie delivered passionate speeches on "Why Girls Are Girls!" The time when I was most proud that I was a Thespian, though, was when we pantomimed "Hiawatha" for assembly. Miss Madden coached it and, Don, it was just great! Marjory, Melba, Bradley and Slim were especially good. The Thespian orchestra played a wonderful accompaniment for the readings by Sybil and Mary. Even the Philo girl who sat next to me said it was the best assembly we've had this year. It was too bad you couldn't be here for the Home-Coming Banquet at the Leopold. Elsa was the chairman of the committee for arrangements, and she cer-tainly put it over big. Polly, Tiny, Oliver, and several other old Thespians were there, but we missed you. The banquet, speeches, program, floor and music were all just perfect. Mr. Newdall coached a clever musical act for the Viking Vodvil that was well liked. Some of the rest of us sold refreshments to help our Normalstad fund along. I wish I had time to tell you about our wonderful Philo-Thespian week-end party (get Tommy or Maurice to write about that) or the girls' basketball team, (Elsa and Catharine know more about that than I do) and all the rest of our good times, but Mr. Kibbe expects me to hand in a term paper tomorrow so I'll just have to ring off. Ida and Wilda say to tell you "Hello!"

Although the club is fundamentally a social organization, it also stands for scholarship and cooperation with all school activities. Immediately after organizing, the members started the "Viking Vodvil," which has been accepted by the student body as an annual event. During the quarter the club presented in assembly "The Lost Silk Hat," a play in one act. The principal social event of the quarter was a dance given at the Victoria Hotel, February 7. The club was especially active during the winter quarter. It sponsored the Bensen Symphony Orchestra concert given on January 30. Then came the dinner dance at the Hotel Leopold. The club also had a girls' basketball team and worked up a stunt for the "Viking Vodvil."

President DOROTHY ANDERSON Vice-President EDITH ROMIG Secretary The Oregon Club was formed primarily for the mutual enjoyment and benefit of those students who came from our sister state, Oregon. This year the club has grown steadily. Its members are following the tradi-tions of their mother state and have gone in for hiking and outdoor sports. Early in the fall session the club held a mixer in the small gymnasium, where it was found that nearly thirty people claimed Oregon as their home either by birth or residence. Plans were made for a continuation of the club's activities. Frances Kishner was elected president and the social benefits of the club were stressed. The winter quarter was quiet, due to the loss of our president via the mar-riage route. The first official act of the new president, Freda Scott, was to take the crowd to Whatcom Falls Park in a pouring rain. We all returned cleaner and wiser. The past three quarters have been both educational and enjoyable. Under the supervision of the sponsor, Mr. Bond, trips to several of Bellingham's manu-facturing industries were made. The members have also participated in a number of outdoor breakfasts and hikes to local points of interest. Some very good things have been planned for the coming quarter as the summer session gives much opportunity for life in the open. One Hundred Fifty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 152 ---------- One Hundred Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 153 ---------- Edens Hall Edens Hall, "the home of color and light," is the home and center of most activities for over one hundred Normal girls. Recreation for the girls is well provided for. Each night after dinner an hour of informal jollity is enjoyed. Some girls spend it by playing the victrola and dancing in the third-floor lobby. Some may be found playing the piano or singing or talking before the blazing hearth of the beautifully furnished drawing room. Others prefer to spend their time walking about the campus or visiting their friends in other rooms. Miss Headrick, the social director of Edens Hall, has supervised a very de-lightful social program this year. The first event was in the nature of a "get acquainted" party which thor-oughly accomplished its purpose. A Christmas party was given to which each girl was allowed to bring a friend who did not live at the hall. Candy and toys were distributed from the tree by Santa himself. Three dances were given by the girls. The first was a Christmas dance, at-tended by about sixty-five couples. The second dance, another enjoyable affair, was led by St. Patrick and his glory of green on March 14. The third occurred during the spring quarter. Many other affairs of an informal nature are on the calendar. Every week-end sees the kitchenette the scene of several fudge parties. Then, too, boxes from home call for parties and spreads in the girls' rooms. On the whole, the Edens Hall girl feels herself privileged in her opportuni-ties for daily contact with more than one hundred other girls living dormitory life. One Hundred Fifty-three ----e- II~------- -- -~-I--- r~ -------- ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 154 ---------- Norcentra Club The Norcentra is a social club. It was organized in the fall of 1923 for the purpose of getting better acquainted with our neighbors who came from the North Central states, to welcome those just coming west to our school, to help maintain the high standard of social life in the school and to support the interests of the Belling-ham Normal. We feel that we are truly western. The pioneering spirit, the spirit that calls to everyone for his best endeavor, has called us from the East. We love the West and have come to put our hands to whatever task lies nearest to them. Of our varied social activities this year, the splendid banquet in the Club Room will long be remembered. After a short program the purposes and aims of the club were discussed, and officers were elected for the next quarter. The bad luck commonly attributed to Friday and thirteen, especially when they fall on the same day, was deliberately courted when we carried out and enjoyed in a most happy way the big event of the year, a dancing party on Friday, the thirteenth of February, in the big gym. We proved equal to the occasion even though the man in the moon hid his face and old Satan himself came up to drive us from earth and take away our eats. Let us add that any who have lived in any of the North Central states a year or more are eligible for the club membership. In all of our activities.we have felt that success was possible only because of the guiding hand of our worthy sponsor, Mr. Lawson, who has been diligent in his work for the club.

Treasurers MARGARET TAYLOR, MARGARET MCROBERT, MARGUERITE BOYER Reporters The Sagebrush Club is an organization to bring together all the members of the school who live in Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or elsewhere in the "Land of the Sagebrush." It is a social club, but this fall an amendment made to the constitution stated that the purpose of the club should be not only social, but educational as well. Special emphasis has been placed on visiting the industrial centers of this locality. The first trip was to the fish cannery in South Bellingham. In Novem-ber the club members went to the coal mines. They put on the miners' caps, and had a thrilling afternoon, going down with the shift at one o'clock and coming out with it at five o'clock. Still another interesting trip included a visit to the sawmills. A dance given in November proved a delightful social function. The big gymnasium was made inviting through the efforts of the decorations committtee under the leadership of Florence Daley. Other committee chairmen were Ethel Paval, refreshments; Margaret McRobert, invitations; and Elsie Jensen, intro-ductions. During the present quarter the club has enjoyed an out-of-door program of picnics and hikes.

This club has increased in membership each year. The Seattle Club St. Valentine dance, given February 14, at the dining room at Eden's Hall was the one big club affair of the year. One Hundred Fifty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 157 ---------- Skagit Club Dear to the hearts of all those who hail from Skagit county, or who have resided there a year, is the Skagit Club. The club membership this year has totaled about thirty, and we are proud to say that our members have also been active in other activities of the school. The first meeting was held in November. At this time the following were elected to fill the offices of the club: Cora Starr, president; Helen Doran, vice-president; Ralph Miller, secretary-treasurer; Libby Dean, reporter. In January Dorothy Rosser was appointed to fill the office of secretary-treasurer because of Ralph Miller's absence from school. Once the club was organized, plans were made for a lively year. On January thirty-first, the club staged a Carnival dance which proved to be one of the biggest successes of the year. True carnival spirit prevailed. Later in the evening, Helen Hightower entertained with a group of feature dances. The patrons and patronesses for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Gunther, Miss Gragg, Mr. Arntzen and Mr. Kolstad. Much of the success of the dance may be attributed to the help given by Miss Gragg, sponsor of the club, and the chairmen of the respective committees. The spring quarter was made memorable for the club members by a splendid program of picnics and hikes, happy memories of which we carry away with us as we leave.

From this land of the North there is a group of people in the school who function under the name of the Sourdough Club. From a social standpoint, the club this year has achieved great success. One event which will long be remembered by the Sourdoughs is the Hallowe'en party given the early part of the fall quarter. In the Christmas program given by the various clubs of the school, one of the most successful features was the pre-sentation of a typical Alaskan scene by the Sourdough Club. During the winter quarter the fourth annual banquet was held at the Hotel Victoria. This banquet proved to be the largest and most delightful in the club's history.

ELIZABETH KRELL Messenger Reporter . . . . VELMA LE MASTER Faculty Adviser . EDWARD J. ARNTZEN The Tahoma Club was organized during the fall quarter of this year for the purpose of providing social contacts among the Normal students from Pierce County. Although in its youth, the club now has an approximate membership of fifty active students. The calendar of social events has included several hikes, among which were those to Whatcom Falls Park on January 24 and to the natural dry- dock February 15. A taffy pull, lively games, and dancing made the all-club get-together on February 27 a very enjoyable occasion. A spring ball given in April was enjoyed by the members and added much to the social life of this year. Several other events carried out were of interest to the members. The club has become popular with students and is growing rapidly. It promises to become one of the largest social clubs in the school. The sponsors are Miss Brooks, Miss Osborne and Miss Caseley. The club has as honorary members Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Dr. and Mrs. Salisbury, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Jones, Miss Mad-den and Miss Slawson.

Its erection will mean a great deal to the Normal, from the standpoint both of usefulness and of beauty. For a number of years, there has been a great need for a library. At first it was only a vague thought, but now it has become a vital thing of the near future, through the acquistion of adequate funds, a building site, and the completion of final plans. The new library will stand on Cedar street, facing north. The chief charac- teristics of the building are to be s'mplieity in architecture and a beauty which comes from perfect proportion. The sloping roof and the great arched windows add greatly to the beauty of the structure. The plans were drawn by C. J. Gould of Seattle. Mr. Gould is a distinguished architect of national recognition. The Normal library will be three stories in height. The storage room and receiving room for books, the mechanical plant, and the cloak rooms will be situated on the first, or ground floor; also the first tier of stacks. On the second floor, facing the front, there will be a large room, 42 feet by 67 feet, which will easily accommodate 140 readers. It is planned that this room will be used for reserved books and special subject matter, thus relieving the main reading room. Across the hall from this roem will be located the Library of Children's I.itera-ture. This room will be the same size as the room already described, and will accommodate as many readers. It will also face the front. The work in children's literature will be developed rapidly, in the Normal, both for the child and the student teacher. There will be a special faculty reading room, a small room for the library staff, and a work room in the rear of the second floor. On the second floor we also find the second tier of book stacks. But the crowning feature of this new structure is the beautiful reading room which will extend the entire length of the top floor, facing north. The great arched windows on all sides of the room, nine in all, will provide an ideal natural ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 17 ---------- light. This room will easily accommodate 200 readers. The third tier of book stacks is connected with the south side of the room on the left. On the right side the cataloguer's room and offices of the librarian and the reference librarian con-nect directly with the main reading room. A large vestibule, joining the main reading room at the central part of the south wall, will contain the main charging desk and the card catalogue. Also, the offices of the staff are accessible from the vestibule, for the sake of convenience. Since the student will enter the reading room through this vestibule, one can readily see the convenience of this arrangement. In fact, in contemplating the entire plan, it will be observed that thought has been given to the solution of the problem of a demand for immediate and adequate service. On entering the vestibule, one will find the tools of the library ready for service, and the library staff easily located. The book stacks will be accessible from any reading room. In planning the reading room and the special study room, the purpose was to provide a place where the school can develcp independent research work by the student and carry on the work which has been started in the library-instruction class. HistorU of the Institution The Viking spirit dates back many thousands of years but the school in which it is now found is not so old. Yet it was more years ago than most of the present-day Vikings can remember that the first normal school established in the Puget Sound country was located at Lynden, Whatcom County, Washington. This institu-tion was organized as a private enterprise, but later an effort was made to secure state aid for its support. When this plan failed, a movement was started for the establishment of a state normal school in this part of the commonwealth. The first step resulted in the passage of a law creating a commission to select a site somewhere in Whatcom County. Several sites were offered, and finally the present beautiful location was selected. In 1895 the first appropriation for a building was made. The original building was erected the next year. After various ups and downs concerning appropriations for equipment and maintenance, the school formally opened for work on September 6, 1899. In addition to the original structure, eight other buildings have been erected: the training school building in 1901, the gymnasium the same year, Edens Hall in 1905 (which was replaced by a beautiful new structure in 1921), the science annex in 1913, a central heating plant in 1917, and the Emergency Hospital in 1921. Now we are preparing for a new library, and many are the other plans for the campus. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 18 ---------- folh Daowinf 14 ALA _ _..' ;1114t . c t l lt;. w -z r.

For several years there have been Vikings who so desired additional education, and who so loved their Alma Mater that they have stayed after the regular two-year course and have taken up third and fourth year work. This year there have been no fourth-year students, but a goodly number of third-year Vikings have made up for this lack. The majority of the members of this class are students who enter with an advanced classification from other col-leges and universities, for according to the law, these students may, after a year at a normal school, teach in the grammar schools of this state. From this history of these third and fourth year classes, we learn that since 1923, nearly one hundred three-year diplomas, and approximately twenty four-year diplomas have been issued. Of the latter, only two have been granted to students who have done all their college work in this school. There are five definite advanced courses that are offered for these students; they are those in junior high school, intermediate, primary, rural, and administrative. These Vikings of the so-called college group have not devoted all their time to study; for among their numbers are found athletes, dramatists, artists, and musicians. They also are members, and many of them are officers, of the various literary, social, leadership, and scholarship groups found in this school. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 23 ---------- PAUL VAN CRUYNINGEN BELLINGHAM ESTHER L.

With the ideals of courage, adventure and self-sacrifice the noble class of 1926 embarked, in its stalwart ship, upon the Seas of Study and Good Times at B. S. N. S. in the fall of 1924. Bravely and courageously has that class carried on the spirit of the Vikings, and now it sights the harbor of graduation. What have they done to merit such adjectives as "courageous," "brave," and "noble?" you ask. The Viking spirit has led many brave Sophs to the front, and they have given much to their Alma Mater and in turn have received much. On entering that slough of despondency called Freshmanitis this noble class bravely fought its way through, and emerged victorious; for who has not heard of the feats of the class of '26? Donovan Matheny was elected Viking Chief of the class in its freshman year, with Viking Howard Wilder and Viqueens Evelyn Hagen and Margaret Chambers to help guide the '26 ship through the perils of normal school and the ridicules of upper-classmen. With flags flying, the ship sailed from freshman infancy to sophomore ma* turity. After testing its strength with such excellent results, the class had more self-assurance during its sophomore year. With Carrie Crippen as chief and Garland Okerlund, Orlena Young and Margaret Black to aid her this year, the ship sailed on without trouble toward the goal of graduation. Noble are the men and women this good ship carries upon its deck. The brave deeds of the class during this, its last year, are worthy of honor and praise from under-classmen. Many stalwart Vikings of the class of '26 helped the football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and track teams to win great victories from the Savages, Huskies, Wildcats, etc. Too, there were fair maidens who valiantly defended the Sophomore name in hockey, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. And more, there were representatives in debate, dramatic, scholastic, and leader-ship clubs from these worthy Sophomores; who, I ask, acquitted themselves with more credit in the perilous currents and tides of the board of control of the student body than these same members of the class of '26? Two class dances were given during the year, both of which showed that the Sophomores had still another prepossessing characteristic-originality. Both dances, one of which was in the fall quarter, and the other during the winter, were well attended and much enjoyed by the Sophomores and all men of the school. Several class meetings were held during the year for such weighty pur-poses as election of officers and decisions on commencement announcements, -cards, dresses, and other such necessaries which accompany graduation. All in all, the good ship has weathered its way toward the Port of Graduation in a worthy style and from there its crew will embark in various pursuits. From this modest account, it may be seen that the Vikings of the Class of '26 cannot fail, after their two exceptionally successful years at Bellingham Normal. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 25 ---------- RUSSEL ANDERSON ASHFORD EDITH ALLISON WINLOCK ALVERRA ANDERSON FERNDALE ANNE ENGELE PORTLAND, ORE.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 52 ---------- Freshmen The halls were filled with excited and wide-eyed Freshmen rushing to and fro without destination or purpose, when, in the month of September, nineteen hun-dred and twenty-five, our school opened. What Freshmen will forget that day or the succeeding ones, when we stood in line for hours, and then received the announcement, "Go home and come back later. Don't forget your numbers." What Freshman will ever forget the intelli-gence exams and achievement tests or the hundreds of printed rules and regula-tions passed out for our guidance? At first it was an easy matter to distinguish between the Freshmen and the Sophomores, but now a wise one indeed is needed to point out a Freshman. Our worthy Sophcmores were a great help to us in finding our way through the labyrinth of rooms, halls, and stairways. For that we give them hearty thanks and have shown our gratitude by supporting their activities on every hand. Not many days after our arrival we enjoyed a delightful evening of entertain-ment and dancing. The talented members of our class, as well as one of our teachers, were allowed to display their talents. Speaking of talents, the Freshmen have won honors in music, dramatics, and literary work. Not long after this first program we gave a dance which also showed our ability to give ourselves a good time. Our businesslike attitude was shown by the way be fought and scrambled for places between the bookshelves and at the card catalogue in the library last quarter. This spirit, never lacking in vim, has carried us through so far, and will, we hope, stay with us until we can thankfully say, "One more river is crossed." We already feel a great responsibilty toward our Alma Mater, and we shall fill the places left by, our most high and esteemed friends, the Sophomores, to the best of our ability. We are glad for the prospects of a new and larger library, so that the incom-ing Freshmen will not have to sit on the floor. In both football and basketball such men as Shelton, Odell, Keppy, Reed, Gray and others were the mainstays of the teams. In girls' sports, also, our girls have shown their mettle by taking the laurels from the Sophomores in both volleyball and hockey. Soon after the beginning of our sojourn in the land of knowledge, we banded ourselves together, and chose a trustworthy president, Mr. Hankins, who has proved himself very adept in this office. For his helpers we close Alice Cutts as vice-president and Vesta Larson as secretary-treasurer. We are exceedingly grateful to the faculty, who have stood by us and have been our friends through thick and thin, so that when we leave, as most of us will next year, we will look back with pleasant memories upon the days spent here and the friends made here. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 53 ---------- m . s3 'a+w . ; r " , , i' y yE f 5; :c j'Y« z 7" 'cy .. . , ' ' ,, , z i 3 .:. i ,,..HSS , ' : +a, hw W _, ~ } ,, " 3^ ; ", .

Neither the superstition of the ages nor the almost insuperable obstacles of storms and tides deferred them from journeying far. Just what ideals and visions of the future were theirs is not wholly evident, but the crumbling walls of a little church, the remains of one of their tiny boats, or a moldering heap that was once a tower, are mute testimony of their conquest of the unknown. But that these sea rovers were ever ready to fearlessly seek newer and better things than were theirs, is clear. Like the relics which tell the tale of their wanderings, the tra-ditions of an institution indicate its burse and tie up the best of the past with the future. The building of traditions is a matter of the passing of time, but our Alma Mater, though young, has some custcms which we hope they will dig-nify. Some of the blocks of our tower of tradition have already crumbled and have been replaced; others are as sound as when first built into the wall, while our newer blocks, it is hoped, will withstand the ravages of time. There are interesting customs of the past, some of which have fallen into disuse, and others of the present which we hope will be continued through the coming years. TULIP QUEEN Bellingham's Tulip Carnival, an annual celebration, is perhaps one of the most beautiful of its kind. In the spring when fields just off Bellingham are ablaze with tulips, the whole town joins in a week of festivities wherein the tulip reigns supreme. The Normal-by-the-Sea is not behind the others in its participation. Not only does it conduct booths and carry on other activities, but it also offers a candidate for election as Tulip Queen. On more than one occasion the crown has been given the candidate of the White and Blue. ANNUAL CLEAN-UP DAY Out of the needs of the school during the beginning years of its life, grew a custom that was continued for many years but failed to become a tradition. Perhaps in those days the love of the students for the Alma Mater was not greater than that of the present students, but it took a more practical form of expression. Annually the students would turn out in old clothes and spend the day in manual work about the campus and Sehome Hill. They constructed paths, tennis courts and tracks, cleaned up the campus and cared for the shrubs, cleared the underbrush on Sehome and constructed trails through its woods. In fact they turned their hands to anything that made the school and its surroundings a better and more beautiful place in which to live. 1K This custom slowly died out, partly because urgent Sneed of work of this type no longer existed. However, the idea of giving one good day's work for the Alma Mater-perhaps along some other line-might well I P be revived. SUNSET TRAIL Sunset Trail was first opened by Mr. Martin \J Olson, a member of the Board of Trustees, for his own r convenience and for the pleasure of those at Normal. ,V ?rThis trail leads through the woods from the end of I High Street to Sunset Knoll overlooking the bay. So beautiful was its shady, winding path that it became ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 57 ---------- quite the habit for couples to steal away and stroll along it during leisure hours. A wild strawberry patch at the end of this "lovers' lane" also became quite famous. It is said that strawberries could be picked there even out of season if one but believed-and dared. The wheels of progress have blotted out the dear old trail. Its lovely associations, that bade fair to become traditions, must fade into the past. THE "Y" RECEPTION Shortly after the beginning of the fall term, a reception is held for the new students. This reception, which is given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., is one of our very oldest traditions. Never has the Association failed in assisting our efforts to make new students feel that we are glad to have them in our institution. FACULTY TRADITIONS The faculty of our Alma Mater is not outdone by the student body in the way of activities. Not only are they always ready to join the students in any frolic, but they have four events among themselves which are to be made traditional. During the fall quarter a reception is held for new faculty members. The Battle of the Mountain Snows occurs in the winter quarter, and, like the proverbial lambs, they hold a frolic known as the Faculty Frolic in the spring. A salmon bake in the summer finishes this round of traditional functions. WALK OF MEMORIES During the two years a class is at Normal there accumulates a mass of documents and records, associations, friendships, and grudges-in other words, many things have become relics dear to the hearts of the Sophomores or become things to be forgotten. On Class Day a metal box is brought forth and -it is said, for no one outside the class really knows-that all these things, the good and the bad, are placed within it. Then with much ceremony the box is interred in a hole made in the walk that leads south from the main entrance. Over it is tenderly placed a marble slap bearing the class numerals. In the years to come these may be read by those digging in the ruins of an ancient institution, and when they find a little grudge carefully tucked away in a corner between the rec-ords of glorious achievements, they will say, "Ah, so they were human, after all!" This custom was started as the inspiration of Mrs. Ada Hogle Abbott, senior advisor in 1912. Originally the idea was that the walk should be constructed section by section by each succeeding graduating class. Since that proved too slow a method for the needs of the school, the whole walk was built and now each class merely inserts a slab. ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC Almost since the opening of the Normal the stu-dents have been dismissed one day during the spring quarter for an all-school picnic. During the earlier years of the institution, this picnic coincided with the annual Clean-up Day. Later the students began to wander farther afield for a picnic ground and their journeyings have taken them from the beauties of the Pacific to the glories of the Cascades. Each year stu-dents are sure that theirs is the most thrilling of all picnics ever held. And they have been thrilling, for on one, the students were accidentally submerged in the lake, on another almost lost in the crevasses, while on other occasions they have almost died of mal de mer. Yet always they all came home happy and very little worse for wear. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 58 ---------- THE KNOLL About the Knoll, which has itself become a traditional landmark, cluster many memories and customs. It has become so wrapped up in the life of the school, past and present, it is hoped that the archi-tects of the future greatness of the school will not lay desecrating hands upon its almost sacred ground. Since the beginning the children of the training school have used it ketfso.r Easter egg- rolling contests and as a place to hide May bas- Who has not at least once in his career at good old B. S. N. S. stood before its shubbery to have his picture taken? It has always been a favorite background for kodaking. It also has been understood these many years that the knoll is sacred to petters. No young man is to be disturbed if seen on the Knoll with a girl. How-ever, there is one drawback to this custom now-the trees no longer droop their branches enough to properly screen the interested couples. Another pretty custom in connection with the Knoll is the use of its as Greenwood Theatre for the annual production of a Shakespearean play. SNEAK DAY Twenty-six years ago assembly was in progress as usual when suddenly a boy jumped to his feet and yelled, "Come on, gang!" and started for the door followed by every senior. Soon they had disappeared into the woods, leaving the school to the freshmen. This was the beginning of the seniors' annual Sneak Day, which was later permitted them as a senior right. The time, the place, and nature of the activities are kept a dead secret. The freshmen, like most younger brothers and sisters, wanted a holiday, too. Their protests finally found sympathetic ears and they were told that if they could find out on what day the Sneak was to be made, they, too, could have a day off. So today the seniors try to have their Sneak as before and the frosh try to "get in" on it, by hook or crook. ARBOR DAY The school has never failed to observe Arbor Day by planting flowers and shrubbery on Huntoon Drive or Sehcme Hill. In the earlier days each club marched out and with great ceremony planted a tree or shrub on the campus. With the older members Arbor Day will always be associated with Miss Ida Baker and her work in nature study. Whether the matter in hand was a lecture or the planting of vine maple, a part of her spirit was felt. In memory of her enthusiastic leadership on Arbor Day, a holly tree from her own yard was given to the school after her death. It was planted on the edge of the Knoll near the large rock. Her work in nature was further commemorated by Sehome Hill being set aside by the school as a bird sanctuary, and by the erection of a bird bath in her memory. This last was erected by the Alkisiahs, whose club she founded, and sponsored up to the time of her death twenty-two years later. EASTER SERVICE Perhaps the most beautiful and most soul-stirring custom we have is the traditional Sunrise Service on the top of Sehome on Easter morning. All through the many years since the school began, the more devout of the students and faculty have climbed to the hill-top that they might sing the glory of God as the rising sun ushers in the new day. There with the world and its cares and troubles below them, they offer up their prayers and songs of rejoicing as the dawn breaks, symbolizing the glorious Resurrection. These beautiful Easter services, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., have and always will be carried on as long as the school exists. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 59 ---------- THE MARATHON Many years ago a wandering cowboy, one Josephine "Curley" Hawkings, stopped long enough at the Normal to accumulate a diploma in a little less than record time. Used to a hard life he was much impressed with the softness of the youth that attended school here. He conceived the idea of a race to the top of Chuckanut. Through the efforts of Mr. Bond this race, now called the Mara-thon, became an annual event. The manner of the race has changed-from time to time. Formerly it was a free- for-all to see who could reach the top of the mountain first, and later, to see which class would have the greatest number of its members register at the top v during the appointed day. So keen was the interest that boys would start at midnight in order to get there first. In 1909 the Herald offered a cup to be engraved each year with the name of the class having the fastest runners. The race is now well organized and has a three-fold purpose: to be a race for the students, to determine the class having the fastest runners, and to determine which class has the greatest number register-ing at the top during the day. For this last a pennant is given. KLINE CUP CONTEST The intra-mural basketball trophy for girls, the Kline Cup, was given by the Kline Jewelry Company in 1904. The annual fight for this cup has become a permanent tradition. In order to finance the athletic activities that year the balconies were built temporarily in the little gym and ten cents admission was charged for the inter-group games. These games created much interest and as a result Robert L. Kline offered the trophy. In past years, class rivalry was intense. The various clubs and classes often marched to assembly carrying banners, singing songs, and cheering for their team. THE CLASS FIRE One of the amusing customs of the past that for awhile was considered a tradition was the Class Fire which was lighted the night before commencement. A committee gathered a large pile of brush and wood on a spot near the beginning of Huntoon Drive. Just as the torch was applied, the class, laden with notebooks and large bundles labeled "Troubles," and "Grudges," gathered at the main en-trance and began what was known as the Pilgrimage to the Fire. When they arrived the line circled about and with great ceremony solemnly consigned their burdens to its flames. This was followed by great rejoicing until the last embers died away. MOUNT BAKER HIKE Each summer comes the Mount Baker climb, the most beautiful and inspiring of all trips taken by the school. Only those who by taking a series of preliminary hikes made themselves fit are permitted to go. The party usually reaches Helio-trope Ridge Friday afternoon, camps there over night, makes the climb on Satur-day, and returns to town on Sunday. After one has taken the ten-mile hike through primeval forest, Kulshan (Mt. Baker) in all its glory bursts upon the eye. Below, Roosevelt Glacier with its great expanse of blue and white is a sight not soon to be forgotten, while to the left can be seen Skyline Ridge. And if this were not enough of wondrous beauty there rises on every side mountain after mountain. As awe inspiring as is this sight, it fades into insignificance when compared with the view from the top of the mountain. This really beggars description. The view with its snow-clad mountains on every side, and its miles and miles of country reaching even to the bay on clear days, becomes an everlasting memory to those who have once gazed upon it. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 60 ---------- President Fisher has made it his custom to accompany the party to Heliotrope to wish them off on their climb and to welcome them back on their return. The Mount Baker hike custom grew out of the annual excursion to Glacier, which was inaugurated in 1906. As an outgrowth of this mountain trip, Kulshan Sabin has been built near Grouse Ridge for the convenience of the hikers. HOME-COMING AND ALUMNI BANQUET Can all the ties be severed, leaving only "memories and best wishes" for the dear old Alma Mater? Can any one attend the good old B. S. N. S. and go away feeling that he is not inexorably bound to it by ties of sentiment? The Alumni say not. Each year they feel the urge to visit the scene that have become dear to them. Some the press of life prevents from ever returning, and others await only the urge of a hearty welcome. One of our newest customs, which we plan shall become a tradition, and one of the old, provide this urge. These are the Home-Coming Day which has been initiated recently, and the Alumni Banquet held annually in connection with the June commencement. Home-Coming Day occurs annually on the day the B. S. N. S. plays one of the other normals on Waldo Field. Great preparations are made to welcome the home-coming alumni. The school and all the rooming houses are appropriately decorated with signs of welcome. Special music is engaged. The program usually includes an all-school luncheon at noon, the game played and won, an alumni banquet in the evening, and a mixer in the Armory. The Alumni Banquet occurs on the Saturday of the spring quarters that pre-cedes commencement exercises. At this meeting the Alumni Association usually elects its officers and transacts the business of the association. VIKING VODVIL Our hardy namesakes of the open sea often put in at secluded bays and spent the days in feasting and pleasure, and, like they, each spring quarter we lay aside the more serious things and give what is known as the Vodvil. This show is made up of "stunts" put on by the various clubs and independent groups. Though many are as foolish as the name implies, some are exceedingly beautiful and finished products. The best act is awarded a prize. VIKINGS That the Normal-by-the-Sea should name its groups of brave and daring con-tenders for honors Vikings seems most fitting. The fearlessness of those hardy old sea-rovers finds an analogy in the spirit with which our teams fare forth on their journeys of conquest. The name Vikings has not long been ours, but it is planned that it shall con-tinue for all time. As we take our inspiration from the Vikings of the dim mists of the past, so out of formless mass of customs of our short past has grown the spirit of the modern Vikings. And the Normal-by-the-Sea shall always be ready to fearlessly seek the bigger and better things of life! ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 61 ---------- i _ II i i i 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 62 ---------- ~ . , ' ,., , ' ' . ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 63 ---------- The White and Blue I.

Here the youth from farm and seashore, gather for the year, Learning truths that shall be cherished, forming friendships dear. Soon the ties must all be severed, but they leave with you, Happy memories and best wishes for the White and Blue. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 64 ---------- Associated Students The year 1926 will long stand out as a ban-ner year in the annals of the Students' Associa-tion of the Bellingham Normal School. When school opened for the fall quarter, it was found necessary to elect a new board of control. Don Marquis, president, had resigned in order that he might attend Stanford Uui-versity, while Zeno Katterle, vice-president, had resigned to accept the position of business man-ager of the Weekly Messenger. The students entering into their election with a great deal of enthusiasm, chose Elsie Holland, a former student representative, for president, and Inez Clark for vice-president. The new president called the first Board of Control meeting to order October 2 with the following members present: Inez Clark, Mr. Bond, Mr. Arntzen, John Fitzgerald, Angus Bowmer, and Ward Prigg. Maragret Black took her place on the board the following quarter. The executive body of the Students' Association, believing that a happy student body is an efficient one, provided many diversified forms of entertainment throughout the school year. The all-school mixers, recreation hours, and the all- school hikes found on the 1925-26 school calendar will ever be a source of fond memories to the students. The Associated Student Body took a large part in putting over the Annual Homecoming, and judging by the numerous favorable comments heard on the campus, this annual feature of the Normal-by- the-Sea life was a huge success. The Board of Control held their annual banquet January 21 in the dining room of the Home Economics department. At the close of the banquet President Fisher gave a very interesting talk, followed by a talk by Mr. Bond on Board of Control reminiscences. A great deal of praise is due the president, Elsie Holland, for the efficient manner in which she handled the various student body activities. She labored faithfully in the interest of the students, thereby winning for herself the esteem and good will of all. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 65 ---------- The Co-Op The Normal Book Store, owned by the Student Association, is under the direc-tion of the Board of Control. This store, operating through the manager, Mr. Sam Ford, has as its aim the furnishing of supplies to the faculty and student body. This aim is accomplished through ordering books and having on hand other equipment for which there is a constant demand. Although giving service to the student body at all times the Co-Op is especially active at the first of every quarter when new books are being purchased and the old ones exchanged.. Through this agency the students may have films developed and application pictures made. In addition to this and other services the store offers a place for the distribution of student mail. By employing students, the Co-Op aids those who wish to work while attending Normal. The stock of the book store is kept up-to-date, since all funds except those kept for emergencies are used to purchase new stock and equipment. Because of its proximity, the store is also valuable to the student body. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 66 ---------- Weeklj Messenger The staff of the Weekly Messenger started work upon the opening of the Normal school in the fall. With Velta Leaming as editor and Zeno Katterle as business manager, the publication was under way in fine shape. The Messenger staff took a keen interest in all student activities, sponsoring a "Hard Lines" dance in the gym besides helping in other ways to promote good feeling in the student body. "Smilin' Bob," a column of fun, was inaugurated during this quar-ter and has held the interest of the students ever since. A literary contest for students of the Normal was held in the fall quarter, and a banquet was given by the Messenger to the winners of this contest, at the Victoria hotel. The winter quarter saw a change in the editorship of the paper, when Norman Burchette assumed the directing end of it. During this quarter many changes were made in the form of the Messenger. A new design for the name was adopted and single-column editorials were started. The Messenger staff sponsored a Valentine box in the winter quarter, which caused much fun and merriment when the lucky ones were announced at recreation hour. A special edition of the paper came out on Valentine's Day and much fun was created by the appear-ance of the big "scoop" concerning the supposed marriage of two of the Normal students. The staff of the paper remained practically the same during the spring quarter, with the exception of a few reporters who dropped out of the game. The Editorial Council, composed of students who had sufficient training in newspaper work to enable them to act as an advisory board to the editor, func-tioned in an able capacity. The staff of the paper was composed of students who had had preliminary work in reporting and collecting of news and a basic training in the actual management of a newspaper. It acted as an advisory board to the editor, also. Two quarters of work with the Messenger, or the equivalent on other college papers, was required to obtain a place on either the council or the staff. The publishing of the paper was done under the supervision of the English department of the Normal. Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet was in charge of this part of the work. Each person connected in any way with the actual work of publishing the ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 67 ---------- paper feels a keen interest in the welfare of it and of the school. In that way the students receive not only first-hand instruction in newspaper work, but gain an insight into the working of the school. The actual work of printing the paper was done down town by Miller and Sutherlen, where the students on the staff were in charge of the makeup of the paper. Everything except the actual setting of type was in the hands of the students of the journalism classes of the Normal. A wealth of valuable experience was gained by the members of the Messenger's staff. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 68 ---------- Klipsun Board VAUGHAN, Advisor LEMASTER, Editor TIDBALL, Business Manager BLACK, Sophomore Rep.

He brought many new ideas from Stanford University, where he studied physical education under Glenn "Pop" Warner. Coach Carver is now serving his eleventh year as athletic director at B. S. N. S., turning out strong, clean teams who play the game on the square, and portray the fighting Viking spirit of old. ASSISTANT COACH HAROLD KEENEY Coach Keeney, formerly ceach at Bothell High School, was appointed assistant to Carver at the beginning of the athletic season. While at Bothell High he turned out at least one championship team every year. He handled baseball exclusively this season, and has proved an efficient coach in this sport. Many hours of untiring effort were spent by him in helping whip the Viking aggregation into shape. ATHLETIC MANAGER Thomas Wynn was appointed athletic manager by the Board of Control at the beginning of the season. Manager Wynn has worked faithfully at every sport, re-lieving much the burden of the coaches. He always has a good word for every player when it is most needed. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 73 ---------- Mens' Athletics FOOTBALL SEASON 1925 When Coach Carver issued his first call for football men, only four lettermen were to be found in the squad. With these men as a nucleus a machine was perfected that could not be stopped. The team was light and fast, making up in speed what it lacked in weight. An aerial attack of almost college caliber was developed, the Vikings using it very successfully against the University Frosh. The schedule was against the team, since they had to play the powerful Cheney Savages before being fully organized. Only two defeats were suffered by the squad, dropping one to Cheney at Cheney, and losing a tight game to the University Super- Varsity. The football season was a decided success and the biggest factor in making it such was the cooperation and effort of the players in trying to build a winning combination. There were men who turned out every night, knowing they could not make their letter, but giving their time and ability to keep the team up to form. It is this spirit that keeps the Vikings foremost in athletics, and brings championship to the school. Prospects for a strong aggregation next year are very good, as many of the lettermen have voiced their intention of returning to the Viking fold next fall. SCHEDULE October 10, at Beilingham . .

However, when he issued his first call for hoop artists, about fifty men were out for a place on the coveted quintet, the coach cutting the number to sixteen after a couple of nights' practice. From these men he selected eight which made up a squad finished in every respect. O'Dell, Keplinger, and Benson took care of the forward berths, making the speediest combination the Vikings have had in many years. Rhodes and Haw-kings were the pivot men, and were good marksmen as well as fast on the floor. Stickney, Reed, and Tidball held down the guard positions, each one capable of playing a steady game. They were experts at checking, and showed what they could do in this respect in the Cheney game. Only three defeats were suffered by the Viking team this year, two of them coming from the Cheney Savages. Although tying for the Tri-Normal champion-ship, the team lost in the playoff, but showed work equal to that of the Cheney team. A fast five-man offensive helped score many points for the Blue and White quintet, and a fast-breaking five-man defense spelled defeat for their opponents. With most of the team coming back next year, Coach Carver has hopes of bring-ing the championship back to Bellingham. SUPER VARSITY BASKETBALL Under the direction of Coach Keeney, a super- varsity basketball team was organized which consisted of the subs on the first and second teams. This quintet closed the season without a single defeat. They turned out every night against the first team, this giving their superiors invaluable practice. Among those defeated by the Supers was the fast Frye quintet of the City League, and the Concrete tow nteam, which had not tasted defeat for two seasons. Games were also played with several of the high schools of the county. Guarding the forward berths were Wilson, Harper, and Davis. Mowler and Hawkings held down the centre positions, while Morse, Baxter, and Christman took care of the guard stations. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 80 ---------- HAROLD HAWKINGs-"Hawkie" Although lacking a few quarters of making his letter, Hawkie played an ag-gressive game and was a sure shot around the basket. LYMAN STICKNEY-"Stick" Stick was a clever guard, and showed his ability to score, besides checking his man. His quick diagnosis of plays kept the opponents' score low. EARL KEPLINGER-"Keppy" Being the smallest man on the team, Keppy made up for it in speed. He is a dead shot from any angle. WILLIAM TIDBALL-"Bill" Bill was a great defensive guard, and was always the stone wall of the Vik-ings' defense. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 81 ---------- RAY O'DELL-"Ray" His fast floor work and clever shoot-ing made Ray high point man of the season. He had a deceptive way of shooting and was too speedy for any guard to check. LESTER RHODEs-"Les" Les was the general of the team, holding the team together through many crucial places. He was a clever floor man and a dependable scorer. GEORGE BENSON-"Bens" Being aggressive and a good shot made Bens a valuable man to the team. He was a persistent player throughout the season. FLOYD REED-"Rudy" Rudy was a bulwark on defense, his accurate passing and checking making him an indispensable player to the team. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 82 ---------- Baseball Prospects for a championship baseball team were very bright at the beginning of the season, as there were five letter men turning out, and several new men were very good. When the spring quarter started, however, Staggs and Davis, two letter-men, failed to return, as did two other regular infielders. Coach Keeney faced a hard problem in trying to find players to fill these positions. A combination was finally found that worked together well, and the team seems to stand a good chance of winning the flag again this year. Several practice games were played with local high schools, and this gave Coach Keeney a chance to watch his men under fire. Two conference games have been played with the Vikings winning both of them. The first game was played with Seattle College, and they were sent away with a 9 to 6 defeat at the hands of the Viking tossers. The game was featured by heavy hitting by both teams. In the ninth inning with the score 6 to 5 in their favor, Kure, second sacker, smacked out a home run with bases filled, winning the game. The next game was played with St. Martin's and the Vikings again came through with an 8 to 5 victory. This was the first time a Blue and White nine had ever defeated a St. Martin's ball team. Coach Keeney's men took an early lead which was never threatened throughout the game. Patterson, Viking pitcher, hurled a flossy game of ball, being air tight in the pinches, and striking out eleven men. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 83 ---------- Track Track is a sport which includes many varied accomplishments. It offers greater opportunity to display athletic skill than any of the major sports. Many new stars have been discovered in the practice events this year. It is not possible to report the results of the Tri-Normal meet but the line-up for the track team promises a great deal. In the dash events Coach Carver has Prigg, a two-year letterman and high- point man in the last year's meet, and Hemmi, a former Whatcom High School star, who was with the Frosh last year. The short-distance events are run by Reeves and Stickney, both being good at quarter mile, while Reeves can also run the 200-yard dash and also the half mile. Hawkings, Sullivan, and Abbey are half milers, and each one is capable of running a good race. This is Hawkings' and Sullivan's first year at track, and with another year's experience they should be record breakers. Abbey and Korsboen run the mile event, with Abbey running a fast race. This is his second year and he is expected to break the Tri-Normal record. In the field events Large, Stickney, Shelton, and Beighle are showing up best. Orr, Large, Hoggatt, and Beighle are the squad's entries in the jumps, and much is expected of these men in the meet. Evatt and Hoggatt have been going over the hurdles in fast time, and they are sure to be winners in these events. A dual meet was held with the College of Puget Sound, April 24, when the Vikings swamped the Loggers by a score of 88 to 34. Large and Hoggatt tied for high-point honors with sixteen points each. Prigg, Viking sprinter, won the dashes, with Hemmi placing second. Friday, May 7, the Viking cinder men clash with U. of Washington Frosh in a dual meet at Seattle. May 22, the Tri- Normal meet is held at Cheney, and this is the big meet of the year. According to all early indications it looks like a successful track season for the Viking team. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 84 ---------- Tennis Tennis is a favorite sport at Bellingham Normal school, and when Coach Carver issued his call for racquet wielders, eleven men responded. Broadbent and Fitz- Gerald, two lettermen from last year, are again on the team. The ladder system was used in deciding the places on the team, and some very good matches were played in the tournament. Broadbent, Wheaton, FitzGerald, Sullivan, and Keplinger finally secured the first five places and represent the Vikings this season. At the first meet of the season the Vikings played the racqueteers from St. Martin's, taking all five matches. Broadbent, FitzGerald, and Wheaton played the single matches and were not defeated by the college players. FitzGerald and Sullivan also took their doubles match by defeating their opponents in straight sets. The most closely contested match of the meet was the second doubles encounter. Broadbent and Keplinger, although pushed hard the first set, won the second set and match easily. Friday, May 7, the Vikings lost their first match to the University Frosh by a score of 3 to 2. Wheaton won his singles match after three torrid sets, being the only Viking player to win a singles match. Broadbent and FitzGerald lost their singles matches by close scores. In the doubles, Wheaton and FitzGerald won their match, tying up the score. But Broadbent and Keplinger lost in the doubles, and the Frosh walked off with the honors. The results of the Tri-Normal Tennis meet are not available as yet, but it is hoped that Bellingham will again secure the pennant. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 85 ---------- Women's Athletics As our Viking men have grown in cour-age, strength, and achievement during the past year, so have our Viking Maids. Hockey was the first major sport to be taken up in the fall. The girls turned out twice a week in large numbers. A sophomore team and a freshman team were organized. The two teams played three games to decide the championship, which finally was won by the Frosh. With even more zeal the girls turned their attention to volleyball. The turn-out was large and a team was chosen for each of the classes. Again the Frosh proved superior in skill, winning the cham- HOWARD FRANK SKALLEY pionship by a large score. However, basketball has been by far the most popular sport at the Normal. Miss Frank coached the Frosh and Miss Skalley directed the Sophomores. Large numbers turned out to represent the respective classes, so each group was divided into four or five teams. A schedule was arranged so that different teams played each other every night. However, toward the end of the season two class teams were chosen and the teams played for the Kline cup. The sophomore team was successful in claiming the trophy. In the spring the Vikings take up tennis, track, and baseball with a surprising amount of vigor and enthusiasm. The annual tennis tournament is the crowning feature of the athletic season during the spring. Both singles and doubles are played. The popularity of this sport keeps the courts full throughout the day. The spring track-meet for the women offers an opportunity for all the women of the school to display their athletic ability because of the variety of events. A person may enter three events, and must win at least one first place in order to get a letter. The team having the highest number of points wins the tournament. Baseball is another spring sport which offers inter-class competition. Swimming has just recently been added to the list of major sports. Under the direction of Mrs. Howard and Benecia Genther, three teams were organized to represent the three different classes. In this meet the Freshmen were again vic-torious, with Sophomores second, and Juniors third. The Board of Control has this year decided to present letters to all those playing the required amount of time in the games and who deserve to win letters. The sports in which letters are given are hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, track, baseball and swimming. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 86 ---------- FRESHMAN-From left to right: Mae Goodman, Alice Lingley, Elizabeth Camp, Marie Martin, Edith Cox, Vesta Larson, P1 yllis Crabill, Mary McCush, Orlena Moore, Verta Templeton, Evelyn Harno, Josephine Smith, and Dorothy Norris.

Hockej This is the first year that hockey has been played successfully here for a long time; and the girls are to be commended for their good sportsmanship in playing against all odds. The games were often postponed on account of the rainy weather, but after long delays the games were finally finished. A squad of about seventy girls turned out at the first part of the quarter, and from these girls, under the coaching of Miss Skalley, two teams were chosen, one to represent the Sophomores and the other to battle for the Frosh. Hockey is one of the most difficult games for a team to play, as it requires co-operation, a quick eye, and a ready club. Good sportsmanship was emphasized. The girls stayed with their team from the beginning of the quarter to the end, whether they made the first squad or not. After five or six weeks of practice, teams were chosen, the Sophs electing Evelyn Clark captain, and the Frosh choosing Vesta Larsen. These two teams now played against each other in practice, until the end of the season, when the inter-class games were played. The inter-class games attracted great interest on the part of their fellow class-men who attended the games. The first game ended in a 3-3 tie; the second was a 4-0 win in favor of the Freshmen. The Sophomores rallied at the beginning of the last game and carried off a 5-3 win. However, the points for all the games were totaled, this giving the Freshmen 10 points to the Sophomores' eight, the Freshmen thus winning the tournament. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 87 ---------- FRESHMAN-Tow row, left to right: Alice Lingley, Mae Goodman, and Vesta Larson.

The teams all practiced together on the three courts of the big gym. A unique feature of the practice lay in the fact that every n'ght the winners of the first ten minutes of play between these various teams would play together to determine the winners of the day. After several weeks of this kind of practice, squads were chosen, with Jessie Kirby captain of the Sophomores and Alice Lingley leading the Freshman team. At the end cf the season a tournament consisting of three games took place. The first one ended with a large score in favor of the Frosh, the second with the Sophomores for in the lead, while the third went to the Frosh who ran up another large score. So the Frosh won their second championship. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 88 ---------- OLIVE RAMALIA MARGARET BLACK ELIZABETH ATKINS AMELIA NEIMANN FREDA SLATER ELSIE KELSO BERTHA WEBER JESSE KIRBY ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 89 ---------- PHYLLIS CRABILL ALICE LINGLEY EDITH COX HARRIETT HUDNALL EDITH BURTON LUCILE YOUNGBLUTH MARY MCCUSH CLARA LITER ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 90 ---------- Swimming Team Top row, left to right: Benecia Genther, Esther Pallas, Ur-sula Mattercheck, Lillian McCallister, Mary Fosjack, Esther Spauld-ing.

Their program for the winter months was full and interesting. They made numerous public appearances before the towns-people. Each time the quartette sang before the assembly it was enthusiastically re-ceived. They appeared in the First Presbyterian church in a vesper service and be-fore the Aftermath Club. The Kiawanians and the Rotarians were entertained at their luncheons by the girls. The quartette gave several selections before the Women's Musical Club of Mount Vernon. All the girls were awarded honor pins for the service they gave. The members of the quartette are Ruth McCullough and Wrennie Chapman, first sopranos; Louise Stiger and Lucie Wilson, second sopranos; Anne Olander and Gertrude Hogdahl, first altos; Thelma Butler and Gladys Grey, second altos; and Ruth Campbell, accompanist. The Men's Double Quartette was organized and directed by Mr. Harold Smith. As they were not organized until the second quarter they worked under a handicap. In spite of this they were well trained, and were received well wherever they ap- peared. They sang before the assembly and before the townspeople on several oc-casions. The Kiawanis and Niord Clubs were entertained by the quartette also. Kirvin Smith and Ted Logan sang first tenor; Don Olts and Norman Burchette, second tenor; Ralph Johnson and John Kerr, first base; Dale Annis and Harold Hill, second base. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 95 ---------- Choral Society "The Last Seven Words of Christ," an oratorio by Dubois, was presented by the Choral Society of Bellingham State Normal School on Friday, April 16, under the able leadership of Harold B. Smith. As the Choral Society is a new organiza-tion, this was their first concert. The splendid group singing and remarkable re-sponse to the leader were a credit to their conductor, Mr. Smith. The three solo parts were sung by Mrs. Perry J. Starke, soprano, Mr. Alexan-der Wallace, tenor, and Mr. Frank Tiffany, bass. Mrs. Starke, who is from Tacoma, won her audience with her clear, sweet voice and with her magnetic personality. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Tiffany are very prominent in the musical circles of Seattle. The Normal School orchestra, augmented by numerous other musicians of Bel-lingham, accompanied.

This is a story dealing with a phonetic expert, Henry Higgins, who takes a poor flower girl from the gutters of London and trains her in speech. He thinks no more of this girl than of a piece of machinery or a bit of experimental work. After being with her continually for such a long time he finds that her presence is vital to his happiness and he is unable to continue life without her. The Ship, a tragedy by St. John Irvine, was produced by the Moroni Olsen Players on Tuesday evening, December 15. This is the old story of a father who wishes his son to carry on his business and the son will not conform to his ideas. The father is a ship builder and the son wishes to be a farmer. The father builds a new ship which is to be the crowning success of all his achievements. He is unable to command it on its maiden voyage, so the son consents to take his place. It was not a successful voyage; the ship was sunk, and the boy, refusing to leave the ship as he felt his father would, was drowned. The Moroni Olsen Players are the only organization of their kind either in the U. S. or abroad. They are the first circuit repertory company. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 101 ---------- As You Like It A Shakespearean comedy in three, produced in the summer quarter. Directed by V. H. Hoppe.

After graduation, the memories that are cherished most tenderly are not recollections of class work, but of the many pleasures that are enjoyed dur-ing school life. So, for the sake of health, happiness, and pleasant memories, an abundance of varied entertainments is provided for all students of the Normal-by- the-Sea. As this fanciful names implies, the Bellingham Normal is situated in a region of wonder, which permits of a wide field of amusements. With the weekly recreation hour, club parties and dances, teas, and student programs, there is no lack of indoor entertainment. Among the outdoor amusements are all-school picnics, the Chuckanut Mara-thon, various hikes, and sneaks. The Viking Vodvil, given some time in May, furnishes an opportunity for the display of dramatic and musical ability, as well as providing much fun for spectators. When students have graduated and taken positions as teachers, they will often think over the pleasures that were theirs during the good old school days. The memories may not "bless and burn," but nevertheless they will be treasured. SEPTEMBER 29--ALL-STUDENT MIXER Who could forget the Kiddy Kar race between Milton Blonden and Bennett Howard? And the pennies in the jar--'member how peeved you were when your guess was only five pennies more than the winning number? The musicians, from their stand in the blue and white Viking ship, brought about the beginning of many friendships. The freshmen were sort of blue, and-it seemed so friendly to dance with some one nice without having to endure those boresome, formal introductions. The mixer was the ideal place for making acquaintances- may mixers exist always! OCTOBER 2-Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION Early in the fall quarter the members of the Y. W. C. A. held a reception for all old and new students of the Normal. The large crowd that attended the affair enjoyed the punch, games, and program provided. The organization evi-denced at this entertainment the same spirit of cordiality that they have continu-ously shown throughout the year, doing much to promote good-fellowship among the students. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 107 ---------- OCTOBER 3-KID PARTY Although this party was sponsored by the Women's League, no women were present; little girls and boys played happily all evening without one adult to supervise them. Even Miss Jones had donned a hair ribbon and short dress for the occasion, taking this opportunity to go back to childhood days. A program consisting of songs and "pieces" by the "children," amused everyone, after which they munched apples as they frolicked. Later they danced just like "big folks," two charming little girls winning the prize waltz. Strange to say, since the ball was over, none of these children have been seen, for they all grew up overnight. OCTOBER 28--WOMEN'S LEAGUE TEA Although this was the first social function of its kind to be given during the fall quarter, the tea was well attended. Autumn leaves and marigolds were used as fitting decorations for the reception room in Edens Hall. A well-chosen program added much to the success of the affair. OCTOBER 31-SEATTLE CLUB DANCE As an appropriate way to celebrate Hallowe'en, the Seattle Club gave a delightful dance on this night of spooks and goblins. The big gymnasium was attractively decorated in black and orange, forming a fitting background for the feature dances and songs that were included on the evening's program. An elf who danced the Sneak most effectively, gave a fortune to every guest, foretelling whatever fate the future held in store for him. NOVEMBER 6-BARNUM AND BAILEY HOP This entertainment, which was sponsored by the Allison Debate Club, was decidedly different from all other affairs given at school this year. The semi-circus idea was carried out in all preparations, bringing into prominence confetti, balloons, squawkers, and popcorn. A prize one-step and a moonlight waltz lent variety to the hop. NOVEMBER 24-COLLEGE CLUB DANCE Blue and gold, the colors of the College Club, formed the color scheme for the decorations, programs, and favors of this pleasing dance, given in the dining room at Edens Hall. A large crowd was present, including the U. of B. C. football squad and several rooters from that school. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 108 ---------- NOVEMBER 20-21--HOMECOMING Bonfires, luncheons, yes, and even a funeral, were staged in the attempt to make the 1925 Homecoming the biggest event in the history of the Normal-by-the- Sea. The program provided a variety of entertainments, furnishing ample amusement for everyone. The celebration began Friday night with a pep rally, winding its long serpentine down town to the tune of peppy chants. After the townspeople had been well informed of the coming celebration, the serpentine came back to Waldo Field, where a monstrous bonfire was awaiting their arrival. Saturday morning was devoted to the registering of the alumni who had come hcme to their Alma Mater. At noon the Viking Vittles, the first all- school luncheon, was held in the Normal. Five hundred students and alumni ate lunch at Edens Hall and the school cafeteria. A program, consisting of stunts planned by the school clubs, was presented at both places. Immediately following the luncheon, the students, led by the Elks' band, marched around the track on Waldo Field. Then came the battle between the Bellingham football squad and the Ellensburg eleven, which resulted in a score of 33-6 in favor of the home team. White and blue balloons, the Pep Squad, and Ellensburg's funeral were features of the afternoon's performance. At 6:30 the alumni met at Edens Hall for the get-together banquet, planned for renewing old friendships. Ellensburg and Bellingham football men were guests at the dinner. At 8:30 the alumni left Edens Hall to go to the Armory, where an all-school mixer was given in their honor by the student body. The alumni serpentine and the prize waltz added variety to the entertainment, which brought to a close the successful Homecoming. DECEMBER 5-EDENS HALL CHRISTMAS INFORMAL With two little Christmas fairies serving punch to him in an alcove sur-rounded by silver stars and Christmas green, who does not hold pleasant memories of this dance held in the reception room at the dormitory? Holiday favors added to the gaiety, promoting a genuine feeling of congeniality and good will among the merrymakers. Everyone who attended the dance reported it to be one of the most delightful entertainments of the year. DECEMBER 8-HARD LINES HOP Named for Smilin' Bob's Hard Lines column in the Weekly Messenger, this dance was sponsored by the members of the paper staff. As an introduction to the dance, they gave Pigskin's Farewell Party on the main landing at noon Wednesday, December 7. The dance was as original as Smilin' Bob's column, being held at four o'clock in the afternoon instead of in the evening. A remarkable feature of the dance was the number of young men attending, there being practically the same number of men present as there were women. DECEMBER 11-FRESHMAN PARTY After being entertained in the auditorium by an exceptionally interesting pro-gram, which included musical selections, feature dances, and a dramatic skit, the two hundred attending freshmen went down to the big gymnasium to dance. Brownies and ladies'-choice dances were added as special attractions. Twelve new members of the "W" Club demonstrated their musical ability by singing "Doodle- Doo-Doo" as part of their initiation duties. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 109 ---------- DECEMBER 12-SOPHOMORE PARTY Led in the grand march by Miss Skalley and Mr. Berg, the members of the sophomore class enjoyed one of the most delightful parties of the fall quarter. Jim Bussing's feature dances and the vocal solos by Orlena Young contributed to the fun of the evening. DECEMBER 17-CHRISTMAS TREE For this joyous occasion the auditorium was decorated elaborately with a Christmas tree, wreaths, and bells. Taking his stand by the tree, underneath which all the presents were stacked, Santa Claus gave out gifts to the expectant students. And oh, such gifts as they were: drums, horns, dollies, yes, even kiddie kars, were distributed. But one awful catastrophe occurred. Just as Santa Claus was coming on nicely with his distribution of toys, his beard revealing dropped off, a close resemblance to Larry Werner. Regardless of the fact that the gifts were mostly "sells," everyone enjoyed the Christmas tree immensely. JANUARY 15-THE SECOND FRESHMAN MIXER The second Freshman mixer was the first social event of the winter quarter. The large gymnasium swarmed with couples wearing the little green ribbons they received as they were admitted. Chauncey's Collegians played until "time to go home," when one of the most successful affairs of the quarter came to an end. JANUARY 23-SKAGIT CLUB DANCE The Wisteria dance, given by the Skagit Club in Edens Hall, was one of prettiest dances of the year. The dining hall was beautifully decorated in wisteria and silver. Pale wisteria-colored half moons were used as programs, while bubble-like balloons added attraction to the favor dance. A vivacious interpretation of the Charleston was presented by Ethel Smith. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 110 ---------- FEBRUARY 6-OUTSIDE GIRLS' INFORMAL Transformed by gay-colored hearts, the Edens Hall dining room was a veritable valentine bower for the informal given by the girls living outside the dormitory. New spring dresses, dainty and gay, added color and grace to the dance, while the men were immaculate in their dark evening suits. Clever little programs, in the shape of hearts, were given to everyone. NORMALSTAD Normalstad, a beautiful eighty-acre tract of land lying along the south side of Lake Whatcom, belongs to the student body of the Bellingham Normal. It derives its name from a combination of Normal and Kolstad, a member of the school faculty who was instrumental in its purchase. Plans are now being made by the "W" Club to erect a lodge on this site where dances, "stag parties," and other entertainments may be held. CHUCKANUT MARATHON Each year in May, the students and faculty members don hiking clothes in preparation for the Marathon up Mount Chuckanut. Upon reaching the summit, each person writes his name and time of arrival in a book provided for that purpose. After the names have been counted at the end of the day, the Herald silver cup is awarded for the coming year to the group, class, or faculty having the largest per cent to reach the top of Chuckanut. The Marathon, which was originated in 1909, has become one of the traditions cherished most tenderly by the Vikings. ALL SCHOOL PICNIC Hurrah for the all-school picnic, when everyone can ditch all thoughts of books and learning, to be free for a genuine good time! This celebration, which occurs in May, is usually held at Normalstad, the school property lying along the south shore of Lake Whatcom. Various sports furnish ample amusement for everyone, so that the entire day is filled with excitement, thrills, and good eats. Races in rowboats and canoes provide opportunity for all husky athletes to demonstrate their skill, while climbing trees for candy never fails to amuse everyone, even the contestants. The natural beauty of Normalstad adds much to the attraction of the picnic, completing the essentials of a perfect day. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 111 ---------- APRIL 1-APRIL FOOL'S DAY Aside from all minor pranks and jokes played on this day of Fools, probably the biggest sensation was created by the appearance of "So's Your Old Man," a comic edition of the Weekly Messenger. What a muddle one's head would be in if all the news in this particular scandal sheet where taken seriously! Divorce cases, marriages, breach of promise suits, yes, even funerals, all flourished famously under the wieldly pens of these sharp reporters. ARBOR DAY Each year the students celebrate Arbor Day by planting shrubs and trees along Huntoon Drive and Sehome. The different clubs and organizations take care of these and thus help beautify the campus and show their school spirit. W. A. A. HIKE A troup of fifty W. A. A. girls proved their agility and hardiness by climbing Skyline Ridge from Glacier on January 23. They waded through snow past the five-mile limit, and after eating lunch, sixteen of the more enterprising members broke a trail in snow which was waist deep, and succeeded in climbing within a half mile of the top. Several of the faculty members also enjoyed the hike. Miss Frank, Miss Dilley, Miss Gunderson, and Miss Rosene represented the feminine element, while Mr. Salisbury, Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Bond, and Mr. Berg had the honor of being the only men on the trip. In spite of a few mishaps, such as a sprained ankle and tumbles in the snow, the trip was a decided success and the W. A. A. are planning for more in the future. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 112 ---------- CAMPUS DAY, APRIL 23 On Campus Day the whole school rallied in support of Normal's candidate for Tulip Queen, and threw themselves wholeheartedly into the various activities which had been planned. The morning was devoted to cleaning up the Campus and track. It was an in-teresting sight to see students working at uprooting dandelions so that the money saved by not hiring labor could be turned into the Tulip Queen fund. In the afternoon various interesting and amusing sports were participated in on the Campus and at Waldo Field. One of the most spectacular events was a base-ball game between the students and the faculty. The crowning event of the day was a carnival dance held in the armory. It was one of the peppiest affairs ever given at the Normal, and everyone present entered enthusiastically into the carnival spirit. The day's activities supplied many votes for Miss Culver, the Normal's candi-date, as well as enabling every member of the student body to display his school spirit and enjoy himself thoroughly. SOPHOMORE DANCE, APRIL 10 The Sophomore Hard Times Dance given on April 10 was a very enjoyable and unique affair. At 9 o'clock it was started with a bang. The orchestra members were dressed in old clothes, and on the walls hung gaudy pictures with startling appellations. "Photos" of noted students, such as "Flamin' Youth Durr" and "Kid" O'Grady, and instructors such as Mr. Rufneck were displayed, and before the evening was over almost every couple dancing had taken a sign from the wall and was gaily dancing with it. Some of them were extremely ludicrous but some seemed fitting and proper. Two feature dances were presented during the evening. One was a clever interpretation of a rowdy dance by some members of the "Gas House Gang," and the other was a pretty costume dance. Punch was served during the evening. Finally the orchestra played the strains of "Show Me the Way to Go Home," and the party broke up. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 113 ---------- Y. W. C. A. SUNRISE SERVICE More than sixty girls attended the sunrise prayer meeting on top of Sehome Hill on Easter Sunday. The sun came out and shone upon those gathered at the service. After songs and prayers Miss Sperry described the tomb of Christ, which she saw while in Jerusalem on her recent trip around the world. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 114 ---------- Debate INTER-CLUB TRYOUTS Unusual interest was displayed in the traditional Inter-Club debates, which were held this year during the latter part of the Fall Quarter. The question debated by teams representing the various clubs in school was, "Resolved, That the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction be appointive, instead of elective." As a result of a series of heated debates on this subject, many good debaters were dis-covered, and ten people were finally chosen to enroll in the regular debate rehearsal class at the beginning of the Winter Quarter. DUAL DEBATE WITH CHENEY What has usually been a tri-Normal debate became a dual debate this year, owing to the fact that Ellensburg withdrew from the league. Cheney and Belling-ham, however, agreed to carry on the battle of the intellect. This exchange of argu-ment took place on February 27, and the question under discussion was, "Resolved, That the United States enter the World Court with the Harding-Hughes reserva-tions." As the United States senate had voted to enter the World Court under the Swanson reservations about two weeks before the debate was held, both sides further agreed that the action of the senate would be given no place. in the debate. It was also agreed that the negative teams should be permitted to use the Swanson reserva-tions in opposing the affirmative, as long as no reference was made to the action of congress in entering under these reservations. The teams remaining at home consisted of Velma LeMaster, Floid Van Etten, and Ralph Johnson, while those representing Bellingham at Cheney were Meryl Bird, Ethan Allen, and Inez Clark. The Normal-by-the-Sea was successful in both debates, winning at home by a vote of 3 to 0, and at Cheney, 2 to 1. The affirmative team argued that entrance would more surely insure world peace, as it would create a friendly feeling between the European nations and the United States. The just method of procedure followed by this court was also ex-plained, and it was shown that the United States could very well make use of such a court in settling commercial, and other disputes. The negative team showed how closely this court is linked to, and controlled by, the League of Nations. They argued that the same movement towards world peace, for which their opponents were arguing, could be obtained by making further use of our ambassadors, and by means of friendly cooperation with other nations. Both teams will remember this debate as one in which everyone had a chance to travel. The teams representing Cheney Normal School proved themselves worthy op-ponents in every sense of the world, and Bellingham can well be proud of the outcome of these debates. COLORADO COLLEGE On April 3, a team of two men representing Colorado College met two men from the Bellingham Normal, at Bellingham, in a debate on the question, "Resolved, that Congress be given the right to regulate child labor." Floid Van Etten and Meryl Bird, from the home school, argued for the affirma-tive, while John K. Emmerson and Cecil B. Read, from Colorado, assumed the nega-tive side. This was an unusually fine debate. The judges' decision, which was in favor of Bellingham, by a 2 to 1 majority, showed that the argument was very close. We welcome representatives from this college, so far from our own, and hope that at some future time, we may be able to meet this college again in contest. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 115 ---------- COLLEGE OF THE PACIFIC The same question that was used in the debate with Colorado College, was also used in a debate with a women's team from the College of the Pacific, of Stockton, California. The debate took place on April 30, at Bellingham Normal, in a special assembly. Margaret Black and Grace Jacobson took the affirmative of the question, while the young ladies from California set forth the negative argument. This was the first debate at Bellingham in which just one expert judge gave the decision. Mr. Matthew Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association of the University of Washington, was the judge. At the end of the debate, he summed up the argu-ment on both sides, and rendered his decision in favor of the College of the Pacific. The argument on both sides was clear and concise, and the delivery was excellent. Although there was no cup at stake this year, as there has been in previous years, still Bellingham has completed an extremely successful year in the field of argument. Out of a possible ten decisions, seven have been for us, and three against. Out of the four debates, only one was lost. Much of the success of the work must be attributed to the faithful coaching of Miss Alma G. Madden, who has charge of this activity at the Normal. She has never left a stone unturned in her efforts to guide and help the teams, and at all times she has been an inspiration to those who worked under her. The debaters of this year pass the torch to those of future years, hoping that, for the love of their alma mater, they will hold it high. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 116 ---------- 453i ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 117 ---------- Upper row, left to right: Lyman Phifer, Edward Arntzen, Meryl Bird.

Campfire Each year in the work of the Campfire one law from the seven is chosen to be especially emphasized. This year "Seek Beauty" holds the honored place. Our Guardians, Dorothy Goodwin, Myrtle Thompson, Mattie Vaughn, Daisy Clawson, Vera Kreisher, Etta Farr, and Frances Pettijohn have been truly obeying this law and inspiring the girls in their separate groups to see the beautiful in all things. Miss Rosene, of the faculty, has charge of the main activities of the Bellingham Normal Campfire Girls. Mr. Berg, Scout Assistant and faculty member, taught several groups the art of knot tying. The Campfire work has only begun in the Normal School, but we feel that the true spirit of the Campfire Girl has been awakened and that the work will go much farther in the coming terms.

W Club The "W" Club is one of the best established organizations of the institution. The club was founded several years ago, by the men who participated in athletics. The main purpose of the "W" Club is to raise the standards of sports, bring sports-manship up to a high level, and to promote athletics in the school. It is the ultimate purpose of the club to induce all men of the Normal school to take an active part in at least one branch of athletics during the school year. The "W" Club performs many useful functions. In the first place it endeavors to bring to this school athletes who have the desire to get an education, secondly the club lends aid to and encourages men who show themselves to be the right type of individuals for community workers, thirdly the "W" Club creates and maintains a spirit of good feeling among all the men of the school, and lastly, by means of its active campaigns the "W" Club advertises- the Bellingham Normal throughout the school year. The personnel of the club consists of men only. It is strictly an athletic organization, and only those men are admitted as members who have earned a letter in one of the five major sports: football, basketball, baseball, track, or tennis. There have been three initiations during the past year. It is always customary to compel the new members to carry an egg in their left back pocket and to produce it when called upon to do so by an old member. It is the tradition of the "W" members to hold an annual dip. The entire personnel of the club, escorted by the coaching staff, sojourn to a body of water. Here everybody goes in, coach and "W" members. Although not a social organization, the club sponsors one dance every year. In addition to the dance, the club sponsors another big feat annually, "The Smokelets Smoker." Here is where brawn and brain meet, and everybody yells for the under, dog. The "W" Club is always represented in the annual Viking Vodvil, and their performers generally receive notable recognition as dramatic artists. ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 125 ---------- Womens Athletic Association OFFICERS EVELYN CLARK President OLIVE RAMALIA Vice-President BERTHA WEBER Secretary-Treasurer ELSA SCHUBERT . . . . .

Each registers surprise at seeing all of these, the world's greatest con-temporaries, gathered together at one and the same time. Sweeping the others a graceful curtsy, Barney opens his coat with one hand, and with the other opens dis-cussion. "It's your move, gentlemen," says he. "Shall we lay the World Court before us on the table, or shall I can it and tie it to Sparky's tail?" "Can the grandiloquence, Barney," speaks up Shakespeare, "the devil take me if I let any rail bird butt in on my share of the gate receipts. But are you sure nobody saw us take a sneak into here ?" "Not a chance, Bub. Bryan Hankins is making an announcement in Assembly, so we'll be safe here for another half hour at least, but do you think that Angus Bowmer will outshine Red Harold Grange on Waldo Field this afternoon?" This from Hannibal. "He will if Sverre Arestad don't slip Gus the oval oftener," grumbled Valen-tino; "Aristotle likes to hog the limelight himself too much." "Nell's bells, Rudy, what more could you expect with half the scholarship society turned professional," said Napoleon, "but 'Chuck' Fisher is turning out a good team from the punk material he had to start with. And with the basketball squad turning out every night on Waldo Field, too!" "I'll say Chuck's had a hard time," put in Beelzebub, "when you have to mould a backfield out of a bunch like Bryan Hankins, Inez Clark, Meryl Bird, 'Swearing Aristotle,' Gus Bowmer, and Elsie Holland, when only Bowmer has had any practical experience, you've got a devil of a hoe to row. But 'Chuck' saved the day yesterday when he sent Estill in to take Mabon's place as referee, and put Mahon in at center. That forward pass that Lloyd heaved was what beat Notre Dame." "Yes, but that basket from the 40-yard line with only one and one-eighth sec-onds to go was what clinched it," returned Barney. "That was what took the heart out of them; they didn't have a chance after that. Why, when that swished through the hoop, Sparky cheered so hard that he couldn't talk above a whisper at the end of the game." "Well, it was a great game, anyhow," said Willie, Rudy and Bub. "I'm betting Fisher's pets today," returned Bony, Hanny and Barney. (CURTAIN) ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 148 ---------- tiking Rogue (allery Me Eunning Enarb ELIAS A.

James H. Smith. Not a unique name, true, but I took a certain pride in it. After all, it distinguished this microcosm from the rest. It des-ignated ME. Then I got on somebody's maliing list. Within the next two weeks: A brochure on "The Power of Personality" came for J. H. Smyth. H. Smith was requested to sign enclosed card for sample. J. H. Smoth was one of the favored few who would be permitted to buy a grapefruit farm at rock-bottom prices. A complete set was offered to Juno H. Shmittle for 97 cents, money back if not satisfied. Jno. Smith was asked to donate to the Hoboes' Home. A limited amount of "Golden Goose" oil stock was generously reserved for Judas Schmuth. As a special try-out offer, Jack H. Schnitzle would be permitted to wear one for ten days, free of charge. Hames Snarth was urged to secure 100 calling cards, like sample, for 39 cents. But I fooled 'em. I've clhanged my name to Stanislaws Prcyssmillikeweiss. If they misspell that one, I'll never know it. Life.

T. Vaughan-Died on April Fool's Day. Her decease came as a dis-tinct shock to a great circle of Normal friends, who still think there's some catch to it. Mr. Victoria Cross Hoppe-He kicked off without telling anybody. he always was full of surprises. But then Master Y. I. C. Rhodes-Who always aspired to be a tennis player. He died a violent death following the sight of his name in Who's Who. He could have spared himself the trouble. It was another Rhodes. Miss U. R. Cummings-Who died a peaceful death while propounding the gospel of Bull Run. One of her pupils respectfully and reverently caught her as she fell from her chair, and laid her away. He then took over the class just as she would have wished it. Mr. L. A. (Lathetic) Kibbe-He was the Viking patron sport saint. He de-parted while showing the boys how to run the cross city. It was too much for him when he finished first. Master R. A. Y. Odell-He left us just at that age when he was about to step from long trousers into short ones. He was given a decent burial. Miss A. B. A. Clark-This is to correct the general impression that she died while dissecting an earthworm. She peacefully passed away with an athletic heart. Miss I. C. U. Rosene-She died as she lived, teaching clams the English lan-guage. Her funeral, however, was exemplary. Mr. A. B. Kolstad-He was beloved of humanity. He is remembered as one who always tried to make I. Q. tests easy. With his last gasp he cried: "Give me life, or give me death!" ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 156 ---------- 1 ,- ry, / ,. / ., 1 , l II ----------- Klipsun, 1926 - Page 157 ---------- Bellingham Is Proud of The Normal and of the teachers it sends out to carry on the work of education Jnion Printing, Binding and Stationery Co.

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

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

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

J. Arntzen; Secretary, Robert Wagner. Miss Kathleen Skalley, elected by the Student Body to take the place of E. A. Bond who was absent on a vacation, served on the Board for the fall and part of the winter quarter. Among the many social affairs sponsored by the Associated Student Body this year, perhaps the most outstanding were those associated with the Annual Homecoming Week during the fall GEORGE C. ALLEZ quarter. Much credit is due Estelle Martinson, PRESIDENT chairman of the Homecoming committee, for the efficient way in which these were handled. Elsa Pearl was elected as student representative at the end of the fall quarter to take the place of Grace Jacobson, whose term had expired. During the year many problems arose coincident with the elimination from the State Normal School curriculum of the one-year course. The need was also felt for the centralization of all student activities under the Board of Control with the object of closer cooperation and better service to the student body. This policy has been consistently adhered to by the Board of Control during the year.

Through consistent effort the columns have been put on a higher level than ever before. Of special interest to the students was the series of articles written by George Allez, student-body president, concerning various organizations and all-school activities. During the winter quarter the Messenger staff promoted the organization of a group of aspiring writers into what is known as the Scribes' Club and made plans for the publication of a club magazine to be issued as a quarterly supplement to the Messenger. The Messenger also conducted a literary contest, and planned for a permanent contest to be held annually, with pins as awards. Perhaps one of the best comments that can be made on the school newspaper is the fact that throughout the year it has served its purpose well. It has been a record of student activity and has been of interest to the entire student body. Mr. Fowler has acted as adviser.

The ."Red Arrow" was a magazine devoted to the literary interests of the Normal students, and contained poems, essays, short stories, representative of the literary talent of the student body. Many of the writings had been entered in the literary prose and poetry contests of the Scribes' Club. In the winter quarter's magazine, of which Victorio Velasco was editor, ap-peared a poem of the world-famous traveler and lecturer, Tom Skeyhill. There was also an interview of Carl Sandburg, who had addressed the Normal student body during the quarter. These truly "professional touches" added a great deal to the success of the magazine. The publication served a two-fold purpose. It was not only of interest to the readers, but was also a means of expression of Normal students interested in jour-nalism which heretofore had never been available. With such a successful beginning it seems quite probable, since it is planned to be a quarterly publication, that the "Red Arrow" will continue to live up to the high standards set by its first authors. Y'Rormal5f ab A recreation center for the students of the Bellingham State Normal School has long been the dream of the student body. To fulfil that dream the territory known as Normalstad, with a forty-acre frontage on Lake Whatcom, was purchased several years ago and plans have been made for one large lodge for all- school activities, with smaller cottages for various clubs. Locations have been selected for a baseball diamond, a hockey field, and for tennis courts. On the lake, directly in front of Normalstad, there is a one- mile course ad-mirably suited for boat races. The Northern Pacific railroad track is parallel to this straightaway, making it possible for observation cars to follow the races. Doubtless regattas will be held in future years. By means of all-school picnics and campus days the students in past years have cleared a portion of the land, and have built a substantial wharf. The old road has also been developed until it is now possible to drive a light car up to the very front door of Normalstad during dry weather. With the help of Geneva township it is hoped that the road will be further improved this year. Perhaps in the not-too-far future it will be possible to begin work on the main lodge, so that the dream of Normalstad will be realized. Fifty-six C ___ __ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 57 ---------- In spite of superstition, Friday is probably the most popular day at Nor-mal. Not only does it precede the freedom of the week-end, but every Friday between the hours of four and five the students are drawn irresistibly towards the "Big Gym" by the gay music from "Frannie" Wilcox's jazz orchestra. Here they may enjoy the pleasures of "Recreation Hour," leaving far behind the cares of the workaday world. The "Rec" Hour committee has the gym and the music all ready for them and is waiting at the door to scan their student activities tickets. The success of "Rec Hour" has been well proved by the large numbers of stu-dents who attend this weekly festival. It will probably go down in history as one of the most popular traditions of the Bellingham State Normal School. The following compose the "Rec" Hour Committee: IRMA LITTLER, Chairman VERTA TEMPLETON OLIVE HARDAN FOMIA WAKIN MAURICE THOMPSON ALICE LINGLEY PHYLLIS CRABILL BRYAN HANKINS Fiffty-seven _ ILU-L -CII -- - - ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 58 ---------- uget 6ou#) iofo icaf fafioy Near Friday Harbor, Wash., the county seat of the picturesque San Juan County, is located the Puget Sound Biological Station where science courses in the field and in the laboratory are conducted during the summer quarter. The Normal School is co-operating with the University of Washington in offering two courses here, one in plant biology and one in animal biology. The Friday Harbor region was selected for biological study because of the especial abundance of both fauna and flora in that region; hence it is possible for class work to be conducted in the field as well as in the laboratories. The Normal classes make a study of the important facts concerning structure, physiology, classification, and environmental conditions of plant and animal life. The primary aim of these courses is to give the student an active interest in the out-of-doors, and at the same time to equip teachers with those materials which will be of use to them in nature study work. Life at the Station is generally a busy but simple one. There are forenoon and afternoon classes in the laboratory or on the seashore. The student is given an opportunity to pursue knowledge in an almost ideal situation, unhampered by the usual school-day difficulties. Everyone sleeps soundly and arises regularly, eating three meals a day (oh, yes you will-even the fussy ones do-) hiking, rowing and leading an invigorating outdoor life. It is quite a common phenomenon for "thin" people to leave the Station at the end of the nine weeks' term, not only with increased knowledge of facts and methods of application, but also with increased weight, appetite, vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. A spirit of good fellowship prevails among the students, who range in age and experience from youthful high school graduates to university professors, and are representative of numerous states, schools, countries, and ideas. Professor Newman, himself, the author of the textbook used in the science and civilization courses, was enrolled at the Biological Station a few summers ago. And think of sitting across the table from an internationally known scientist and naturalist like Professor Kincaid! In spite of all these opportunities for physical and social development, the station is not a summer resort. These desirable features only add to the general capacity for work, and the work itself is the joy as well as the purpose of the Station. Fifty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 59 ---------- Aount_ Taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity for outdoor study that its location offers, our growing Normal-by-the-Sea reached into the heart of the mountains and during a session of five weeks, Professor Robert Landon conducted class work under the brow of Mt. Baker with Kulshan Cabin as headquarters. Each Saturday brought a new group of enthusiastic students who had received their initiation into the great mountain's mysteries by a thirty-six mile drive to the town of Glacier and a ten- mile hike through the forested foothills. Each day brought such novel experiences to these "tenderfeet" that the week of varied activities passed too rapidly to satisfy the hunger for the great outdoors fostered by the program of activities. The early morning hours brought a group downstairs to prepare breakfast and put up lunches for the day. Then, refreshed by the crisp mountain ozone and a hearty breakfast, carrying lunches and notebooks, the class went on a field trip every day. Each trip included problems of special significance and study where the student came in contact with various phases of nature, where dynamic processes involving great cyclic changes revealed themselves first hand to the prospective teacher and where she obtained knowledge and experiences of untold value in her chosen field. On these trips the class observed the mountain strams as they first trickled from the flanks of melting snow banks and later as huge torrents carrying boulders and rock flour, hewing their way through walls of sheer rock; they observed living glaciers growing on the sides of the mountains, the birth of valleys, and the disappearance of a vast peneplain. They traveled through a mountain meadow and forest, over naked rock and glittering snowfields. During the middle of the afternoon the class returned to the cabin. A hurried bath in one of the numerous mountain streams nearby, a few moments of rest, opportunity for reading and study, and then the call to supper! The evenings were devoted to lectures, class discussion, and map work. Singing and story-telling around the huge fireplace completed the day, and at ten-thirty all was quiet.

With bloody pirates hoisted on the Viking galleon leading the line, not with knives and daggers, but with "sax" and trombone, the all-school mixer started eight hundred students on a fair voyage for a good year at Bellingham Normal. It was exciting discovering who was who in the get-acquainted games-and to find out that names do mean something-sometimes if they are attached to the right person and you are a thousand miles from home. The revelry moved now tempo rubato. The Pirates, the bad, glad pirates had come with instruments of witchery. Heels twinkled! And the dance was on! Feature dances vied with the punch bowl for attention. Too soon the Pirates were playing the last waltz. A little ceremony occurred when all had gone. Shall I tell you? Very quietly the Blue and the White, guardians of hosts of memories, opened the door for a slender young memory to come home-the memory of the first all-student mixer of 1926-7. Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION-OCT. 1 The years do slip by! But each fall, marking a pause in the whirl, comes the Y. W. C. A. reception. It brings much of value in the way of tradition, but of more worth is the prevalence of good fellowship and kindliness at this time. The reception was given at Edens Hall this year. The shaded lights, low chairs before the fireplace, and the fine hospitality of the hostesses caused many new students to drop their cloaks of shyness. The program of music and dramatic readings, which formed the major portion of the evening's entertainment, was of unusually high merit. KID PARTY-OCT. 2 Some one found a wishing ring! A sparkling, gem-set wishing ring! which, if you turn to the East, where the sun cones up, you will be whisked into the land of Tomorrow. If you turn it to the West, where the sun goes down, you may open the door to Yesterday. A very small person shut her eyes, wished very hard, and turned the ring to the West! The door to yesterday flew open and out tumbled little girls and little girls! Tomboys and pirates, swarthy and bold; Pollyanna with smiles enough for even the very cold! Why? Must I tell? Very well I shall then-but you'll never know, never know, even then. Each year, shortly after the opening of school, the Women's League in an effort to create opportunities for the formation of new friendships holds a party for all disciples of Peter Pan. The only requisite is that you go down the road to Yesterday, find the little girl you were once upon a time, and bring her to the party. Sixty __ __ _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 61 ---------- WOMEN'S LEAGUE TEA-OCT. 27 "Lit candles in a casement ope at night Starring the dusk in Babylon"- And lit candles in the reception room at Edens Hall shining in the October twilight. "At candlelight" is a very special time of day. So many things happen while tall tapers burn. Friends could come and go-as they did, although leaving with reluctance. For, if the candles failed in invitation, the music was irresistible. This first tea of the year, sponsored by the Women's League and occurring at Edens Hall, was unique. One doesn't always have tea at candlelight and the novelty of the affair added to its attractiveness. A dance interpretation in delicate music, by three members of the Women's League, was the final number of the program. EDENS HALL INFORMAL-NOV. 4 "Si Senor,"-the rose in her hair even nodded assent. And the black lace mantilla caught like a wisp of wind on her carved comb echoed the reply. Then-his low answer, "Muchas gracias, Senorita"--and they whirled away in a gay Spanish dance. At this informal given by the girls of Edens Hall the care-free spirit of old Spain was cunningly introduced. The hall might have been a replica of a dancing square in Barcelona. Much finesse is required to create a situation of this kind with the congruent atmosphere, but it was excellently done by the girls of Edens Hall. HOMECOMING-NOV 5-6 "Oh at last, when you return from the three Pa districts, Send me a message home ahead! And I will come and meet you and never mind the distance, All the long way to Ch'and--sha!" -Li Po. We don't mind the distance, do we? Not when we are coming back to the Normal-by-the-Sea. There were two hundred and fifty alumni who came back this year. I think they scarcely realized they were back until about six-thirty Friday night when a polychromatic noise came hurdling across the campus! Yoh! Vikings! Yoh! Vikings. The serpentine and bonfire next in line were cocktails for the game Saturday. And were we-ah-"pepped up ?" Rather! Was there any one who didn't become inflamed at the judiciary talent displayed by the Thespians? Registration hours (I'll wager that amused them, standing in line again for registration) were from ten to twelve Saturday morning. Then luncheon at Edens Hall. Right royal entertainment they were given when various clubs presented musical artists and displayed their best actors. The game was at two o'clock. Pennants, color, football booklets, and fresh-men who had been making spectacular yard-runs for an hour. A yard was the limit! You couldn't get any farther. You were always interrupted in the midst of a dash with, "Well, well, well- when did you get back?" How easily the game seemed to progress ! There couldn't have been any other outcome. Sixty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 62 ---------- A banquet for the football men and the alumni was given at Edens Hall after the game. From here our guests went to the armory where the mixer was under way. We marvelled at the amazing self-control of the football men. Although there were footballs everywhere around the hall, only once did we see a quarter-back caress the brown leather oval ball and murmur reminiscently 74-64-44! We wished "homecoming" would come oftener, when our alumni paused on the way down the steps and called back, "Thanks! So fine a time! Good-night." FRESHMAN MIXER-NOV. 19 The colors shifted like blossoms on a screen in old China. Across the hall came the tinkling laughter of milady as she pointed her silver slipper in the dance. Such gaiety! It all began in the auditorium when the curtains parted for the vaudeville frolic of pantomimes and music which preceded the annual Freshman dance in the main "gym." Music, teasingly provocative, sifted through the ap-plause of the last curtain call and poised in graceful invitation, pointed the way to the hall. Here Neva Cays and John Kerr proved most adroit in the measured movements of the feature dance and won the prize from twelve competitors. The success of this first freshman frolic might be measured by the words of a sleepy little co-ed as she tumbled, yawning, into bed, "Oh- such a good time!" WOMEN'S LEAGUE INFORMAL-NOV. 20 Gay parasols! gay laughter and the swift movement of color through the rooms. All were found at this first informal dance of the year given by the Women's League at Edens Hall. Lanterns were clustered like flowers here and there in unexpected places. But you weren't surprised! Only once! You were standing by a very poised young person who slowly waved her fan before her exquisite face-and you caught a fragrance of cherry blossoms. Remember? Then you were startled and wondered if you had been whisked away to Japan in a wink of time. A moonlight waltz followed by a Japanese feature dance increased the enchantment. Listen! Were those temple bells? Were they? Only this I know! That night, caught fast in rubric, was placed between the dark covers of many a "Hymn" book! MEN'S CLUB AND WOMEN'S LEAGUE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT EDENS HALL-DEC. 15 Most of all I remember the tree! Was there ever such a Christmas tree? Not very many lights ! No-there weren't many lights-even in Bethlehem a long time ago. Except one in the sky and one that we have always since that night. But the tree! Poised, secretive, holding its branches very still lest they dance in all their silver! I wondered if it might be waiting for some one! Some one rather round and jolly, you know! Oh, of course! Santa Claus! We entertained him for awhile. Some jolly-fol-de-rol, club stunts and carols. He rather liked it, I think. Else why were there so many packages under the tree when he left? La! the excitement then when the gay parcels were opened. Shouts of laughter and gasps of surprise. I had to go then, but you remember the rest- Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 63 ---------- ALL SCHOOL TEA The all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League and the Men's Club was the first social event of the winter quarter. A varied program of music and drama-tic readings lent charm to the occasion. Such events are always apropos at the begining of a term. Especially is this true in our school where an ever-changing student body demands new acquaintances each quarter. .OREGON CLUB DANCE A cantata of color stirred by the radiation of music from a garden enclosure was our first impression of the Oregon Club dance. The dark shining leaves of the Oregon grape about the room seemed only shadows cast by the light slipping through moth-green streamers. Was the Spanish dancer in a black and silver dress only a shadow, too? We don't know-only we felt a certain ecstasy as she went pirouetting down the room. Another color was added by the moonlight waltz. The web-foot insignia of the state of Oregon was represented by fat, happy ducks, who, unhampered by paper bodies, made complacent attempts to walk along the wall. Programs made of green and white "O's" harmonized with the decorative scheme. The smooth procedure of the entire affair was indicative of a well-organized, uniquely planned dance. OUTSIDE INFORMAL-FEBRUARY 12 He had a ruffle of lace at his throat and she had a dimple in her chin and wore a pink satin gown with a ribbon of silver over her shoulder. Slippers were pointed in the graceful movement of the minuet as the dancers moved now fast, now slow, with gentle dignity. Of such quality was the feature at the informal dance given by the girls who live outside of Edens Hall. The theme in decorations and program was colonial. There were Lexington, Concord, and other cities made famous by Paul Revere's midnight ride. The moon-light waltz opened the door to a scene in an old Southern garden where the night sweetly fragrant with magnolia blossoms turned ever dignified colonial ladies into witches. St. Valentine, that best old guardian of double hearts, was among those present-perhaps we dreamed it, but did he say, leaning close to the gay revelry, "Benedicite ?" FRESHMAN WINTER CARNIVAL Some time, in the winter time when you are tired of so many things, take a look at the delicate frost fronds a jolly artist has painted on your window over night. The Freshman created a miniature kingdom of Iceland at their carnival early in the winter quarter. There was the queen of all this whiteness, graciously pre-siding with her lords and ladies in waiting; music, too, sifting like a wind-blown cry through glistening icicles. A Russian dance recalled the ice-bound Neva with the colors of sunset playing over its surface. The bags of confetti were really only jagged bits of prisms that had caught a little of the summer sun and stored it away for just such a winter scene. Several favor dances magnetized attention and before we knew it the last waltz was being played. Sorry to go-it was all so very novel and beautiful-but glad of the calibre of a freshman class that could present such a finished production. Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 64 ---------- GREENWICH VILLAGE BALL-FEBRUARY 25 Street cries, flying color, and roguish music teasing our toes. Or if you'd rather -- whirls of laughter and open-eyed marvelling at the talent of the artist in the rakish studio. And the lamp posts! We went into a corner and began to question ourselves. For you know other lamp-posts aren't as these were-and when one is accustomed to moral lamp posts!-don't you see? We grew a dark suspicion about those stars, too. They were so bold, so very bold for stars. So many artists did we see, painting pictures. Oh not on canvas! These were very prosperous Bohemians in this Greenwich Village with their smart tams. (Bohemians are the only people in the world who would think of "duesday" as a source of income.) Those daring Apache dancers! Several times when we've been scouting around Europe-mentally, we've seen Apache dancers even as these. Think, then, of our excitement when we saw them under our own blue sky. Artists were at work in this village before we came-long before! Working, planning, creating scenes for your entertainment and mine. 'To those gifted ones we give a confetti-colored "thank you" for such a fine time at the Sophomore Greenwich Village Ball. SPRING QUARTER The Viking Vodvil was one of the high lights of the season. Its place in mid- quarter was most apropos since student teachers had long since lost consciousness, and exam-weary students were questioning the value of "petty godgy" in our social system. Pantomimes, shadow plays, and music formed first class entertainment at this Vodvil. And as Chieh Chung would say, "Our delight exceeded the colors of heaven." Campus Day at Normalstad was like after-dinner mints. We wanted to pro-long the joy of those hours, but the sun insisted on "sliding off the edge of the sky," while we distastefully recalled the fact that some instructors still called eight o'clock classes. This shadow play of days, drawn from a jade battle, flecked with scintillant hours goes quietly into the wings. Actors assume new masks, new costumes, and carefully cover their wishes and suspicions with a diploma and a contract. Some will cover them too carefully and though they look the wide world over will never find a single wish nor a suspicion. Others will keep their secret ambitions poised in the cool places of the heart in fear of this adventure we call the big business of teaching. A few moon-mad folk will find high flickering flames even in this adven-ture- due to two years of experience in adventure at the Normal-by-the-Sea.

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

By virtue of a win in last year's debating circles, Bellingham retained the Ellison cup as a permanent possession. Excerpts from a letter by Mr. Ellison, read at the last debate program in 1926, stated, "a bigger and better cup will be offered for 1927 and subsequent years, providing that the three normal schools can make arrangements to promote debate." The fact that Ellensburg dropped out of inter-normal debate last year destroyed the triangular forensic competition that has been in vogue for a number of years between the three Washington normal schools. Agitation for the power to grant degrees in the teacher training institutions of the state of Washington would serve materially as an incentive for furthering tri-normal argumentation. Coaches of athletics in the Ellensburg, Cheney and Bellingham Normal schools have been desirous of having the degree act pass the legislature, in order that a minor college conference for athletics might be formed. The degree act would affect debate also, inasmuch as a minor college forensic conference might be formed. As an alternative to tri-normal debate, and as a supplement to inter-club debate, Miss Madden, head of the debate department of the Bellingham Normal, devised a unique plan for stimulating extemporaneous speaking in which any number of students were allowed to compete. The rules compelled participants to be prepared to deliver a five-minute oration on any subject pertinent to modern trends of thought, at an informal tryout. Members of the faculty acted as judges in the preliminary. Six students, George Allez, Sverre Arestad, Clare Jacobsen, Borghild Jensen, Jack Kellogg, and Edna Smith, were chosen from those who tried out, to appear in a final contest held in assembly in the latter part of the winter quarter. In this contest George Allez, Sverre Arestad, and Edna Smith were chosen to vie for honors in a final contest held in June. In the second elimination contest, prominent citizens of Bellingham, who had an appreciable knowledge of debate, acted as judges. Considerable enthusiasm was displayed by the large number of students that entered the contest. From all indications, this event will become a yearly tradition. Whether tri-normal debate ever regains its. former status or not, extem-poraneous speaking will be perpetuated by the momentum it received by the students and members of the faculty when only in the experimental stage. The extempore frays have now passed the embryonic period and for the time being, at least, have been added as one of the traditional activities of the Bellingham Normal. The cup, engraved with the name of the winner and that of the club rep-resented, will be perpetual. Seventy-seven _ ______ ___ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 78 ---------- Ccture oUurtL ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS TO APPEAR IN NORMAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Roy Chapman Andrews, re-nowned scientist and head of the Third Asiatic Expedition, will make two appearances at the Normal School auditorium, Thurs-day, February 24. He will lec-ture to the students at three o'clock in the afternoon and to the general public in the evening. Mr. Andrews has returned to America to tell his own personal experiences of the famous expe-dition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural History, in co-operation with the American Asiatic Asociation and the magazine, "Asia." In addition to his personal story, he is bringing thousands of feet of motion picture film, which will be shown for the first time with his lectures. Hot Races Expected "Imagine the quest of the real 'Golden Fleece' of China-the rare and beautiful golden 'takin', monarch of Mongolia's highest peaks, brought down by Mr. Andrews' rifle after days of dis-heartening hunt, Imagine a race between a modern auto and the wild ass of the Gobi Desert-a thirty-mile pursuit while the speedometer registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine quaint Mongol villages of shep-herds and their families, watching with half-startled, inquisitive eyes the queer white man and the even stranger machines that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their warnings in no uncertain language. A pano- rama of Life-such as it is in this out-of-the-way corner of the world-sl:oppers, peasants, roving brigands, llamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched to carts, camel trains of desert traders- so primitive it all seems that one cannot help but feel that the rocks of Asia should be the natural tomb of the oldest man." Andrews Has Caught Spirit Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romantic adventure that goes hand in hand with such an enterprise both in his own story and in his pictures. He turned back the clock a few million years and found hidden away in the rock strata the eggs and fossils of dinosaurs that lived when the world was in its infancy; he un-earthed the skull of the Baluch-ithirium, the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. In the expedition, which has been under way more than four years, Mr. Andrews has combined the most modern inventions with the old., The success of the ven-ture has depended upon the auto-mobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. FROM THE SON OF A BLACK-SMITH TO ITALY'S DICTATOR Taking as his subject, "Musso- ' lini and the Black Shirts," Tom Skeyhill, Australian soldier, lec-turer, poet and playwright, de-livered what was considered a very enlightening lecture at a special assembly Thursday after-noon, in the Normal Auditorium. The lecturer is a personal friend of the Italian dictator, and has made seven trips to Italy, making a study of the Italian political revolution. He gave, in a sweeping narration, the history of the colossal rise of Benito Mussolini from the blacksmith's son that he was, to the control-ling factor of Italy,sd estiny that he now is. According to tre lecturer, Mus-solini is himself a graduate of a Normal School, and his mother was a "school ma'am." Musso-lini, before his recent political ascent, was a newspaper editor, "always writing while the world was sleeping," according to Skeyhill. In an interview with a Messen-ger reporter after his lecture Mr. Skeyhill refused to give his opinion in matters which are purely American political prob-lems, asserting that it would be unethical for him to do so, in the light of the fact that he is not an American citizen, and is at present a guest on American soil. ENTICING SKITS IN FEATURE EVENT Miss Ruth Draper, who has achieved a remarkable success in the field of dramatics, presented a group of original character sketches to an enthusiastic and receptive audience at the Normal School Auditorium on Wednesday evening. In these characters she gave not only the characters she meant to portray, but their sur-rounding atmosphere, and in some cases peeps into their past. Miss Draper's characters were so realistically drawn that the interest of the audience was man- ifest throughout the entire per-formance. With the aid of almost no accessories, she evolved human beings out of thin air and actually made them live before the audience. Good Program-Variety Beginning the series with "The German Governess," the artist gained the whole-hearted sympathy of the spectators. The glee only increased as the pro-gram progressed. Of course there was a feeling of deep pathos as the "Dalamation Peasant in the Hall of a Hospital,' was por-trayed. The New England accent seems to be born with Miss Draper. In the encore she impersonated the French dress maker with an art that was colored with sublimity. Her knowledge of French is per-fect, and she speaks the language with a fluency and ease that only becomes one of the nationality. In the concluding number of the program, Miss Draper proved beyond a doubt her ability to polarize and electrify her audi-ence. The ludicrous moments in the skit went glibly on, ere long the pathos slipped in intermit-tently, until the curtain was drawn. LEW SARETT WILL LECTURE HERE MARCH 18 "Poet of Wilderness" Is a Very Fascinating Speaker and Reader Another interesting number of the Lecture Course, will be Lew Sarett, known as the "Poet of the Wilderness," who will ap-pear at the Normal Friday, March 18. It is only about eight weeks of the year that he can be induced to mount the lecture platform, but he is a most fasci-nating speaker and reader of his poems. He is an athlete, a dancer of Indian dances, a woodsman, and a rider. For years he was a forest ranger, a wilderness guide, a companion of the red man and of the wLite man, a university in-structor, a headliner of modern chautauqua and Lyceum, and a magazine writer. He has unfail-ingly spent at least three months of each year in the woods, has served as a U. S. ranger in Yel-lowstone and Glacier National Parks, and has guided and cruised by canoe and pack train 25,000 miles in Canada and the United States. Seventy-eight _ __ __ _ ___ _____ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 79 ---------- FAMOUS AMERICAN POET TO LECTURE HERE JAN. 15 Carl Sandburg, One of the Most Interesting of Contemporary Writers to Give Literary Treat Townspeople as well as stu-dents and faculty are looking for-ward to the appearance of Carl Sandburg, American poet, who will be here January 15, in the second number on the lecture course. Mr. Sandburg has led an unus-ual and interesting life which has naturally affected his poetry. He was born in Galesburg, Illinois, and there received his education. After leaving college he became a hobo and wandered all over the United States, learn-ing much of various classes of people. Later he found employment in the stockyards of Chicago, spend-ing his spare time in the writing of poetry. His start as a writer was made in hack journalism, and until recently he has served as motion picture critic on the Chicago News. CARL SANDBURG Famous American poet, who will lecture in the Auditorium to-morrow night at 8:00 o'clock. Contrary to many poets, his creations have not been written for the purpose of earning a living and is free from the influ-ence of readers and publishers. His poetry is a queer exotic combination of beautiful expres-sions, deeply mystic in quality and resembling the old Norse sagas. He has the ability to create the most vivid of mind pictures. There is a vigor and strength in his lines, expressing a brutal realism, most prominent in his poems about Chicago. He is rated by critics as one of America's best contemporary poets. MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS PRESENT MYSTERIOUS SHIP "OUTWARD BOUND" (By Mark Jarrett) The play "Outward Bound," given by the Moroni Olsen Players in the Normal School Auditorium, Saturday, February 5, was a de-cided success. The auditorium was well filled and the townspeo-ple as well as the students agreed that the presentation was excellent. Theme Rarely Dealt With The theme of the play is one that is very seldom dealt with-life after death. Perhaps it was the universal interest in the theme that made the drama such a thought provoking one. The plot centers about a young couple who commit suicide to find happiness together. They find themselves embarked on a mysterious ship "Outward Bound" for Heaven and Hell. Their ad-ventures during the voyage and the way in which the other pas-sengers accept the situation gives the play an appeal which holds one from beginning to end. As usual, the Moroni Olsen players gave us of their best. And their best has come to be, here in the West, a criterion by which we judge all other com-panies of players. The audience knows for a certainty, in advance of the production, that in every aspect the play will exceed ex-pectations.

Eighty-five Eng orfi6S ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 86 ---------- Jfoo a 5easoy When the 1926 grid season rolled around, Coach Sam Carver and his assistant, Harold Keeney, were faced with the problem of molding a winning aggregation from six veterans and two second stringers of the preceding year. With these men as a nucleus and some good freshman material on hand, a high class team which was feared by all its opponents was put on the field. Viking hopes were somewhat dashed when Boyd Staggs, veteran quarter, was declared ineligible, and forced to withdraw from athletic competition. Although two games of the six played were lost, both were lost by a margin of four points or less, which shows emphatically how the Normalites fought. In summing up the results of the season, extra credit should be given to Dan Bieghle, who played his first football, and who, along with Shelton, was an outstanding man in the line. Thorsen was probably the most consistent player, never having an off day; while Brown on the other end played good ball after making the first string. Odell and Seymour were primarily ball carriers and were a great pair when working together. Hawkings and Clarke were also ball-toters, while Stickney, Estill, and Staggs bore the brunt of interfering, occa-sionally taking the oval when need arose. The following men earned sweaters: Two year: Odel, Stickney, Baxter, Shelton, and Christman. One year: Seymour, Estill, Hawkings, Edmundson, Thorsen, Brown, Wana- maker, Clarke, Hinds, Hyde, Beighle and Stickney. Hansen, Drake, Blizzard, and Iverson are to be especially commended, as they turned out all season, and then lacked only a quarter or two to achieve the coveted "W" sweater. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE In the opening tilt of the season, the Viking grid team was swept aside by the fast St. Martin's eleven after a hectic battle, the final score being 14 to 13. This Irish team was the most powerful put out by the Lacey institution since football relations were established between the two schools. The Laceyites took the lead and held on tenaciously, although Coach Sam Carver's charges fought valiantly and deserved a tie. St. Martin's received a break in the first few minutes of play, getting the oval on the Normal 20-yard line. Ralkouski packed the ball across for the first touchdown, also converting. The Normal team then began functioning with Odel, Seymour, and Stickney alter-nating carrying the ball, the Normalites evening soon after. With two minutes to play in the first half, Johannes, fleet St. Martin's back, behind perfect interfer-ence, sped seventy yards for the final Irish score. Ralkouski converted, the ball balancing on the cross bar and finally falling over. In the second half St. Martin's was outplayed, but the Vikings were able to score but a lone touchdown, that by Seymour, who ripped the Irish line to shreds in the final minutes. Staggs failed to convert, leaving the score 14 to 13 against the Vikings. With a few seconds to play Odell attempted a drop kick, which failed along with Viking hopes for an unbeaten team.

HYDE BAXTER _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 88 ---------- SEATTLE COLLEGE Showing much improvement over the St. Martin's game, the powerful Viking machine snowed under the Seattle College Panthers, 27 to nil. The Normal goal was never threatened, a fact which gave the coaching staff an opportunity to try out all their reserves. The scoring started soon after the kick-off, the Normal blocking a punt and Odell going over for the initial touchdown. Using a variety of bucks and end-runs, Odell and Seymour pushed across another touchdown before the half ended. At the beginning of the second half Hawkings went for Seymour, and scored two touchdowns, running wild against the demoralized Seattle team. The work of the linesmen in the game was outstanding, each man doing his part perfectly and often opening up holes large enough for a truck to drive through. ELLENSBURG GAME The Ellensburg Wildcats blasted the Tri-Normal title hopes of the Viking crew by administering a 13 to 9 defeat. This was by far the most exciting and hard-fought game of the 1926 season. The Wildcats got the jump on the Carverites by recovering Odell's fumble on the 20- yard line and taking the ball across on the next play. The Viking crew then braced and made an uninterrupted march to the Wildcats' 30-yard line, Sey-mour bearing the brunt of the attack. Here Ruble, "Cat" guard, intercepted a pass and ran 70 yards for a touchdown, making the score 13 to 0 against the Norsemen. With the first half nearly over the Normalites recovered a fumble, Odell drop-kicking a field goal as the half ended. Determined to redeem them-selves, the Vikings started off with a bang, Seymour passing to Thorsen for twenty yards and then going through the line thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Twice more the Vikings were in scoring position: once by intercepting a pass, and again by working the oval to the 10-yard line in the final minutes, only to be penalized back to the 30-yard line as the game ended. CHENEY GAME Fighting to avenge the ignominious defeat of a year ago at the hands of the Cheney Savages, the Vikings redeemed themselves in the Annual Homecoming Classic by taking the long end of a 9 to 3 score. This victory automatically cinched place in the Normal Conference. Taking advantage of a Viking fumble, the Savages worked themselves to scor-ing position and place-kicked a field goal. Shortly before the half ended, the Viking machine began functioning, after receiving a "break" when the Chenev pivot man passed over the heads of his backs and a Viking recovered on the Savages' 25-yard line. From here Seymour and Clark carried the oval over. Most of the play during the rest of the game was in Savage territory. Coach Carver's boys once worked the ball down to the two-yard mark. Here a bad pass put the ball back to the 20-yard line, where Odell drop-kicked the final score.

This was the first victory for the Normalites over the University team and climaxed a successful season. The Supers started strong but were soon worn down by the vicious charging of the Viking linesmen and the hard plunging of the backs, Odell going over for a touchdown early in the second quarter. The next score came after working the ball up to the 25-yard line where Odell booted a pretty field goal against a strong wind. The last touchdown resulted from a 15-yard pass from Seymour to Odell, Odell making a pretty 35-yard run to cross the goal line. The Normal team played the best ball of the season in this game, the backfield working together as a unit and the play of both ends being great, both Thorsen and Brown having very little yardage made around them, besides blocking and recovering five punts. A STATEMENT ABOUT ATHLETICS By PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER A school should be judged not by the athletic teams it develops, but by the kind of service rendered to society through the graduates who go out of the institution. Athletics have a place in student activities and in the work and the life of a school but they should be made to fit in with the educational policy and program of a school. I believe that students should participate in athletics because of the joy and the satisfaction they get out of this kind of accomplishment and because in a school like ours they learn to instruct others in athletics. Athletics to be justified in an educational institution must offer students opportunities for individual growth in qualities of character and in health habits as well as in physical skills. The lowering of standards of scholarship for the sake of developing winning teams and the management of athletics upon a commercial basis has justly brought criticism upon schools. No student should be permitted to represent a school in athletics who is not in good standing in his classes and who does not put loyalty to the team and to the school above personal recognition and gain. We have had too much athletics in schools that developed winning teams to the neglect of the physical and the health development of all of the students of an institution. We are rapidly coming upon the time when schools will be judged more by what athletics can accomplish for the individual growth of character and health for all students rather than for the physical prowess of a few students. I am proud of the fact that in our school we have consistently spent more money for lectures, dramatics, and music than for athletics. At the same time we have made a place for athletics in our program and we have a record of accomplishments in athletics of which we may be justly proud. Ninety ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 91 ---------- HAWKINGS CLARK EDMUNDSON C. HYDE DRAKE L. STICKNEY SEYMOUR Ninety-one _ _ __ _ I _ _ _ _ ~ __ _ _ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 92 ---------- Winning the Tri-Normal Championship, usually considered the championship of the minor colleges, is no mean feat in itself, and causes a team to play consistently if they hope to keep in the running. This year the Normal was represented by such a team, one that set out to win and accomplished its purpose. The Vikings' record of games won and lost is one of which to be proud. When the initial call for 1927 varsity basketball was made by Coach Sam Carver in December, 1926, three star lettermen and numerous other brilliant hoop performers responded. Prospects for a successful season were never so bright. In addition to Stickney, Odell, and Keplinger, "W" winners, there were Isaacson, Benson, Seymour, Clarke, Thorsen, Hawkings, Harper, Hansen and Don Stickney. After the withdrawal from school of Seymour, Clarke and Hansen, and the coming of Jensen, a center from Chehalis, Coach Carver selected the following eight-man varsity: Ray Odell, Earl Keplinger and Jack Harper, forwards; Forrest Jensen and Oscar Thorsen, centers; Art Isaacson, Lyman Stickney and Harry Benson, guards. The team lived up to expectations. It went through a thirteen-game schedule in eight weeks of play, winning nine and losing four, and capturing the Tri-Normal championship. It swept everything before it and was on the road to the state minor colleges title with nine victories and one defeat, when a late-season slump came on, and the contests with the Rothschild's, St. Martin's College, and the Washington Freshmen all ended with Bellingham on the under side. The Vikings opened the season against the Lynden Zebras, an independent organization, on January 8. Ray Odell led his team-mates to a 32-24 victory, scoring twenty points and giving a brilliant exhibition of shooting. The New Westminster Adanjacs composed of highly touted Canadian amateurs, fell before a barrage of Bellingham baskets, 57-21. Odell again counted twenty markers. Playing superlative ball, the Carverites ran their winning streak on by conquering the Washington Frosh quintet, 31-25. With this victory the Vikings approached their full playing strength. Odell and Keplinger were working in perfect harmony at the forward positions. Jensen at center had a remarkable basket eye and was a hard man to stop. Isaacson as stationery guard was holding the opposition's star performers to low scores. Harry Benson, in the other defensive position, was playing a splendid game.

STICKNEY ISSACSON THORSEN BENSON Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 94 ---------- On January 24, the team departed on its first road trip of the year, to eastern Washington to play two of its most important contests with Cheney and Ellensburg Normals. Ellensburg was downed 33-30 in two overtime periods, after a hard Wildcat uphill fight was halted just in time. The honor of inflicting the first defeat on the Vikings went to the Cheney Savages, who cut down and finally surpassed a big Bellingham lead to win in the last minute, 36-33. Spokane College was outclassed in the final road contest, 52-10. The Vikings opened the home stand which saw their game reach its highest point and brought them the Tri-Normal title, on February 7, against St. Martin's. Opponents showed remarkable basket ability to locate the hoop, but an early lead proved enough to bring another victory to Coach Carver's outfit. The score was 51-40. Taking on Cheney twice and Ellensburg cnce in four days, Bellingham clearly demonstrated its superiority over its two rivals and took premier State Normal honors. The Savages came here huge favorites to "cop," but were completely tamed after two mixes, which the Vikings won, 46-19 and 37-22. It was in the first of these that Jensen gave an exhibition that has never been equalled in Viking history of how to make shots count. Subduing the Wildcats from Ellensburg proved an easy matter, the score standing 40-21. Then came the last games of the season and with them, the slump. The Rothschild's Stevedores of Seattle, composed almost entirely of former Washington stars, won a deserving 36-23 victory. But on the final road trip both Washington Frosh and St. Martin's college inflicted Viking defeats, the former 34-31, and the latter 38-26. Nevertheless, the season was highly successful, and with practically the whole team returning, next year should see another victorious season. Just a few words on the individual players: Ray Odell, captain and high point scorer of the team. Ray is a dead shot under the hoop and makes his share of the score each game, continually outfoxing his guard. Earl Keplinger, most aggressive player on team, good shot from any angle; Earl and Ray make an ideal forward combination. Forrest Jensen, fine offensive player who can be counted to outscore his man. "Jens" is especially good on long shots, thus keeping the defensive team drawn out. Art Isaacson, one of the best, if not the best guard in the conference. Can be depended upon to hold his man practically scoreless. Lyman Stickney, dependable guard, and also a scoring threat. "Stick" plays a nice floor game and is always where he is most needed. Harry Benson, plays a good defensive game and counts often on shots from the back court. Oscar Thorsen, probably the best team worker on the squad, also fine floor man and good shot. Jack Harper, good floor man and fair shot, inexperience keeping him from making his letter. The following is a summary of the Varsity season: Vikings .... ....3.2 Lynden ........2.4.....

By taking the City Class B title the Jayvees hoopsters were admitted the best in their class, having won 15 and lost 4. The fast Roland Wrecker five took the first half of the class B title, but the Modern Woodmen and Normal Jayvees tied them for the second half. In the playoff for the second- half title, the Wreckers relinquished their right, preferring to meet the winner for the championship. The Junior Varsity came through with a win over the Modern Wood-men and then vanquished the Roland Wreckers, winning the Class B trophy, after dropping the first game and then taking the next two. The men responsible for this record are Morse, Lundberg, Thorlakson, Fisher, Norby, Meek and Blizzard. SUPER VARSITY The Super Varsity, composed of men who just fell short of making the first squad, made an enviable record by winning 16 out of the 19 contests played. By cap-turing the City Class A trophy, the Supers showed the potential ability to make a champion team the coming year. The first half of the split season was a walkaway for the Supers, taking every game. In the final half the strong Brown and Cole team nosed out the Normal team, but were defeated two straight games for the city title. Men composing the squad were Hawkings, captain; Estill, Burke, McClurkin, Issacson, Benson, Thorsen and Harper. The first squad also played in several games. Maurice Blizzard ("Mony"), William Morse ("Bill"), George Lundberg, Robert Fisher ("Bob"), Robert Bohler ("Bob"), Granville Thorlakson ("Granny"), Theo Norby ("Norby") Ninety-six ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 97 ---------- BACK ROW-Potts, Brooks, Estill, Patterson, Durr, manager, Keeney, coach. CENTER ROW-Isaacson, Stickney, Odell, Thorlakson, Wingaard. FRONT ROW-Kemp, McClurken, Wiley, Cooper. Harold Keeney, diamond coach, was greeted by one of the most encouraging turnouts this spring that the school has yet afforded. Four lettermen answered the call, while the rest of the squad included men of known baseball ability. Don Patterson, last year's pitcher, Lyman Stickney, Myron Estill, and Eddie Wingaard were the rosters of former Vikings in the fold. Wingaard from two years ago, was an excellent addition to the rather slim pitching staff. Newcomers included McClurken, an infielder from Richmond Beach, Kemp, a high school star from Snoqualmie, and Bob Wiley, who played first base for Puyallup High before coming here. Ray Odell, playing his first year of baseball for the Vikings, is holding down second base in great shape. "Chuck" Cooper, rated as one of the best catchers in Western Washington amateur ball circles, solved the receiving end of the battery problem in an entirely satisfactory manner. Isaacson, Thorlakson, Don Stickney, and Temple completed the list of men on the squad. Bad weather conditions handicapped early season practice and robbed the team of the much-needed practice games. The season opened with a double header against the State University which resulted in a double loss. Old Jupe Pluvius warmed up enough to allow the boys to trim a couple of high school teams, which provided some welcomed practice. In the opening conference game, the Vikings demonstrated their power by defeating St. Martins' College 10-3 on the Rangers' field. Wingaard and Cooper formed the battery, and the Collegians could garner but three hits. The team lineup is as follows: Wingaard, Patterson and Temple, pitchers; Wiley, first base; Odell, second base; Kemp, short stop; McClurkin, third base; L. Stickney, Estill and Isaacson, outfield; Cooper, catcher. Prospects are bright for one of the most successful of seasons, and the Tri- Normal Title is the object of Viking aspirations.

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

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

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

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

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

Zak5a etafLC The fact that basketball is the oldest girls' sport in this school does not mean that enthusiasm is dying out with age. Between fifty and sixty girls reported at the first practice, and the sport retained its popularity throughout the entire season. This was mainly due to the organization of intramural teams which afforded oppor-tunity for everyone to participate in games. Seven intramural teams were organized and chose the following names: Viqueens, College-Humors, Pigmies, Stubtoes, Hoopsters, Basketeers, and Ringers. The Viqueens and College Humors tied for championship when each team had played six games. Two weeks before the close of the basketball season, class teams were organized. Two fast and skillful first teams were chosen and played very interesting and close games. The Freshmen through surprising skill and team work succeeded in wresting the championship from the Sophomores by the scores 10 to 22 and 18 to 22.

Track was another spring attraction. This sport gives a girl an opportunity to show any skill that she has as there is such a variety of events.

Horseback riding has been successfully carried out. Three classes have been organized; one for beginners, where the technique of riding is taught, and two for those who have ridden previously. There are 26 regular riders and others who ride occasionally. A special horseback-riding feature took place on Field Day. Other sports that have been sponsored for the girls are horseshoes, ring tennis, and tennis. These sports have been played at times arranged by the girls.

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

Except for a banquet held in the spring quarter, the society is largely inactive, meeting only to vote in new members. A record showing the achievements of all her former members is kept by the society. Every year members in various parts of the country write letters telling about the various lines of work they are pursuing. This is made a feature of the spring home-coming banquet.

The most looked forward to event in the program of the Y. W. C. A. was the Bible Institute in January. Dr. Georgia Sattler and Mrs. J. Addison Campbell of Seattle were the speakers. Easter morning a sunrise praise service, always the largest meeting of the year, is held on the top of Sehome Hill. The asociation gave the opening reception for the school at Edens' Hall. It has ministered to the sick. The members have had good times and frolics, at least one party each quarter, besides hikes and outdoor meetings during the spring quarter.

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

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

In pursuance of these aims the club has spent a busy, happy, and serviceable year. The literary efforts of the club have been directed to our regular programs and to contributions to all-school enterprises. Although we are primarily a literary club, our members are all devotees of the out-doors, hence we aim to include in our program, throughout the year, many hikes, educational and recreational excursions, and picnics. Included in our trips are the Mt. Maker district and the San Juan Islands. Events we try to bring about each year are salmon bakes, overnight hikes, tree-planting, water trips, initiations, and formal social functions.

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

Oportunities for community service through the story telling art. Friendship and service are the keynotes of all Leowyrhta activities. Service is given wherever there is a need for it. Story Hour work in the city libraries has been the primary work of this year. Friendship is extended through social activities as well as social service. Outstanding among these are the initiations and the anual picnic, which have become traditions of the club. OFFICERS ALICE PARKINS President ANNA MARIE STEWARD .

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

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

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

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

W'omay/5' \fefic ksSociation The Woman's Athletic Association states as its purpose "to promote high physical efficiency among women of the Normal, to foster college spirit by develop-ing inter-class athletics, to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship." This year a new system of points was inaugurated which corresponds to the point system of the national W. A. A. and enables a girl to use her points in other institutions. This point system concerns athletic work alone. The W. A. A. has other activities, such as ushering and selling tickets, which do not count toward points in the organization. Many of their activities center around the plan for a.W. A. A. Lodge, which the club is raising money to build. The year's program includes many hikes, an initiation, and a W. A. A. sports banquet. Among the longer hikes taken every year is included one to Skyline Ridge, one to Lost Lake, and the annual hike up Mount Constitution on Orcas Island. OFFICERS VESTA LARSON . .

To suit the occasion the room is artistically trans-formed. All the girls ardently look forward to this grand event and much interest is taken in it to make it live up to its reputation. Along with the above things mentioned there is a place and time provided for the girls to dance when they wish. Looking at Edens Hall from the educational and scholastic standpoint we see that they observe hours for study and hours for amusement. The regular study hours are from 7:30 to 9:30 every night. Quietness is enforced during these hours by a proctor who is elected to fulfill this duty and also to see that lights are out at 10:00 P. M.

The Scholarship is a distinguished Committee and they all sit together, holding their mouths under their noses, Mr. Berg is so tall that he has to sit down to put his hand in his pockets. "Are student-teachers people?" is a serious training-school discussion question. Mr. Arntzen puts his right hand into his left hand and shakes hands with himself after every successful psycho-analysis. The good die young because there is no use of living if you have to be good. Everything is the same as it always was. Rella Ebeling: What a pity handsome men are always conceited. Bill Mock: Not always, little girl, I'm not. And the best illustration of mingled hope and fear is Henry Durr asking Miss Johnson if he can do an extra project. Miss Sundquist: Is that clear?

"-more people killed-" Obervant Youth: Oh, teacher, lookit that funny man sitting at the foot of the stairs talking to that banana peel. She smokes, She paints, She powders. She reads Snappy Stories, She cusses, too. She eats lobsters at midnight. She does a lot of things she ought not to. But she's my grandma and I love her. Kirvin-Get me up at 7 tomorrow sure. Lyman- Persuasion or force? K. S.-bh, persuasion will do I guess. I may not want to get up.

The work of the classroom and the activities outside the classroom are planned to promote the growth of individual students. The spirit of give and take and of coopera-tion between students and faculty are necessary factors in a liberalizing edu-cation. The program of the school is based upon the belief that it is the spirit that giveth life. It is a working principle with us that children in the schools are entitled to teachers with forceful, free and growing personalities. This school, situated in the midst of challenging mountains and the beckon-ing sea, constantly stirs up new aspira-tions. May the memories of days spent here ever be a source of inspiration PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER for further growth in service and living. Three individuals hold the tides of fate in their hands when the student enters school. They control and advise concerning courses, classes, room and board, and all the essential features of the student's life. These are James Bever, Dean of the School; W. J. Marquis, Dean of Men, and Adele Jones, Dean of Women, the directors who are "seen" about so many of the school's activities. DEAN BEVER DEAN JONES DEAN MARQUIS Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 18 ---------- MILLER KIBBE KEELER KOLSTAD MARQUIS SALISBURY LEDTICAT IO Psychology and its application to living, studying, and teaching is sponsored by the Department of Education. The genetic point of view is taken and courses worked out which bear upon the problems of education. A broad outlook on the past of education and its significant bearing upon the present, as well as the contributions of modern sociology, science, and philosophy to the development of an intelligent point of view on present problems in the teaching field, are given in the History and Philosophy of Education. PHYSICAL EDUCATIOH Women must enroll in physical education each quarter. The courses offered and required are: physical education 1, folk dancing, plays and games, swimming, organization and administration of health education, and natural dancing. Men are required to take eight credit hours of physical education before graduation. Two hours may be made by playing on school teams. PETERS KELLER CARVER BOWEN MEAD Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 19 ---------- FOWLER EDENS SPERRY ULLIN MADDEN HOPPE LNGL ISH, ELXPRESSION The English Department attempts to stimulate intellectual curiosity, and to deepen and enrich appreciations of life values through a consideration of some of the great writers and thinkers of all times. It also tries to test and improve students' ability to write and speak their own vernacular. The principle of teaching students to read effectively and speak clearly and to develop self-expression is held by the Speech Department as its aim in a required speech course. It offers as well, debating, play production and psychology of speech. Regular college work in foreign languages is given, with special stress placed on the spoken idiom. LIIRAJR efTAFF, IDlHIAI S I Library Instruction is required of all freshmen. The aim of this course is to give students a method of attack in a library so that they may independently do research work when they go into practical teaching. All students whose hand writing does not come up to standard are required to take a course in penmanship. Before a diploma is granted, and before work in the training school is permitted, the requirement must be met, GRAGG RICE WILSON GEORGE TREAT EWELL Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 20 ---------- PHILIPPI SUNDQUIST ROSENE PLATT LONGLEY COUNTRYMAN CIEHCL, IIHOIEL LCOHOMICS A general science orientation course is required of all freshmen. This gives the student sufficient background to place man in his relation to nature. Special courses are offered for those interested in advanced work in the lines of science. The courses of the Home Economics Department are given mainly for those who intend to teach this subject in the grades. Foods, cookery, nutrition, household management, dressmaking and a course on Home Economics Education are offered. fOCIIAML TFI@IAS IENCL HICOYFGIh In the Department of Social Science are taught economics, geography, history, political science and world economy. Work is taken up, for the most part, in a manner that will be of aid to the future teacher. A course in hygiene is given for prospective teachers in that line. Each curriculum has its required course in mathematics. All work is taken up from a teacher-training point of view. WILLIAMS BEVER CUMMINS ARNTZEN HUNT JOHNSON BOND Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 21 ---------- BREAKEY PLYMPTON SLAWSON SMITH MOORE FITNE iARTcS, HII[IIC Technical skill in the teaching of arts in grade school is the chief aim of the Art Department. A standard of appreciation and judgement of beauty and practical taste is set up by the department. In the Music Department such courses as the following are offered, largely with the teacher's aim in view: sight singing, appreciation, chorus, orchestra, music history, class conduction. INDUSTRIAL ARTS, TYPING In a special building and with special equipment, Industrial Arts is offered as a comprehensive course for those expecting to teach in that field from elementary to senior high school work. The fundamental principles of touch typing are taught to enable the student to become efficient enough to use a typewriter for his own purposes. RUCKMICK MANY RINDAL BISSELL LOVEGREN Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 22 ---------- 'TRAINIHG SCHOOL Every prospective teacher must pass through the Training Schcol before he receives a diploma which qualifies him to teach. In this laboratory of education he has many contacts: through courses in Technique he beccmes familiar with actual class-room method and management; he observes expert teaching; class recitations; students at work and at play. Difficulties of special student types, of various pres-entation methods in all fields are con-stantly being worked out in the Training School. On the staff of the training school are: Mary E. Rich, Director; Augusta Pragst, Teacher of Technique in Primary Grades; Anna J. Beiswenger, Teacher of Technique in Intermediate Grades; Emma S. Erickson, Teacher of Technique in Upper Grades; Marjorie E. Dawson, Pri-mary Supervisor in City Schools; Anna J. Peterson, Supervisor of Intermediate Grades in City Schools; Fanny J. Rag-land, Supervisor of Upper Grades in City Schools; Orpha McPherson, Supervisor in Rural Schools; Priscilla Kinsman, Pre- Primary Teacher; Ruth G. Strickland, First Grade teacher; Mildred Moffatt, Second Grade teacher; Pearl Cosgrave, Third Grade teacher; Pearl Merriman, Fourth Grade teacher; Eleanor Osborn, Fifth Grade teacher; Mary Cole, Sixth Grade Teacher; Ruth VanPelt, Seventh Grade teacher; and Bertha Crawford, Eighth Grade teacher. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 23 ---------- 6THE OFFICE FORCE Without the administrative officers and their assistants the school could not function. The centralization of all busi-ness, finance, and registration, other than that purely executive, is in the Registrar's Office. Permanent records of former Nor-mal students, as well as other student in- formation, are available here. Margaret McKinnon, who is the Nor-mal school accountant, has full charge of all school finance; Mrs. Edith Banner is Miss McKinnon's accounting assistant, and Olive Gunderson is the Recorder. She keeps all permanent records of the grades, receives transfer grades from other col-leges, grades from high schools, and sends out the quarterly reports. Other offices of the school which handle a great deal of executive work are of the Dean of Women; of the Training School, and of the Library. Charlotte Brigham is the Secretary of Mary Rich, Director of the Training School. Kathleen O'Malley is the school nurse assistant. She lives at Edens Hall, conveniently placed for emergency illness calls from the organized houses. Bertha Weber is active in the Research Department; Polly Learnard is President Fisher's private sec-retary. Dean James Bever's secretary, Bertha Sundeen, checks students for graduation, scholarships, and absences. Elizabeth Hopper is the appointment secretary, It is through her hands that all teaching positions of Normal students are made. Gladys Parr is Secretary to Dean Jones, and Mary Hoyer is the switch board oper-ator in the Main Office. Mary Ringer is circulating librarian and Mrs. Irene Lieske is the Assistant Librarion. She does the secretarial work for the library and has charge of the periodical room. Left Column: McKinnon, Banner, Gunderson, Brigham, O'Malley, Weber.

S. N. S. Its policy is to carry accurate, timely reports of school happenings and of events of interest to Normal students. A change of management came at the end of the winter quarter when Robert Wagner, a graduate, was succeeded by Robert Fisher as editor, and Barney Chichester, business manager, who resigned, had his part filled by Harry Appleton. At the close of the Spring quarter a new name was chosen for the school paper, "The Northwestern Viking," suggested by Mary Hibner in a school-wide contest.

WHEN "THE WEEKLY MESS" WENT TO PRESS Seventy ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 71 ---------- RED ARROW The Red Arrow, in the second year of its existence, has proved an interesting and worth- while venture. It is Bellingham Nor-mal's only literary magazine, edited quarterly by the Scribes' Club and outside contributors. In attempting to provide material of interest to varied types of students, it contains short stories, poems, satires, essays, humor, and editorials. Vernon Zachrison, editor for the winter quarter publication, says, "If the literary experiments found in the Red Arrow are taken seriously enough to merit criticism by readers, the staff will feel richly repaid for its efforts."

The Extemporaneous Contests have greatly stimulated debate and public speech in the school, and have brought timely topics before the student body in a new and interesting way. Eighty- five ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 86 ---------- LIECTImURET CODUJWIRSJIB One of the finest lecture courses ever offered by the school was opened by Dr. Frank Bohn of New York, economist, author, lecturer, journalist. "Our New Barbarism" was the title of his dis-course which threw much light on the press, the tabloid, jazz in our present-day- world. Yet as a silver lining to the dark clouds of twentieth century barbarism, Dr. Bohn maintained his faith in the ultimate triumph of the sanity of American people in art and morals. CAPTAIN JOHN NOEL Perils glamorous, hardships almost unbearable, joy unbounded, tragedy always immanent - such is mountain climbing-such was the ascent of Mount Everest, the highest pinnacle of land in the world. Captain John Noel, official photographer on the two fruitless expeditions to scale the mighty peak, came to the Normal on the eve-ning of November 14, with a message thrilling in its tales of heroism, sacri-fice and the glory of unknown lands. He spoke with graphic simplicity but with extraordinary vividness of Tibet with its mysterious people, its quaint customs, its social life, of scaling the mountain bit by bit, until, within sight of the summit, the two adventurers were lost. The moving pictures which illustrated the lecture were marvels of photographic beauty and splendor. DR. JAMES MURPHY Bringing a message new and unusual in its content, titled "The Destiny of Democracy", Dr. James Murphy, Ph. D. of Dublin, London and Paris, spoke on the evening of January 11. He startingly portrayed the Italian situ- Eighty-six ation, the attitude of the British press and foreign office, the reconstruction work of France,-the causes and results of the World War in general. He pointed to the realignment of the masses of Europe along economic rather than political lines. "Old world politics are gone and the traditional technique of government is fast becom-ing an anachronism", said Dr. Murphy. MAURICE HINDUS A Russian by birth, an American by adoption, and a journalist by occupa-tion, Maurice G. Hindus knows Russia as few men do, and can speak about it as no one else can. With the kindly eye of the native, and the skeptical eye of the journalist, to say nothing of the observant eye of the true American, he has taken the situation of present day Russia in the palm of his hand and felt the velvety soft spots of the texture as well as the pieces of grit. Russia, long considered the land of the reli-gious, was, according to Hindus, the land of the so-called religious. Religion there was a vocation or rather a duty, easily forgotten and never regretted. Consequently, when the Soviet abolished religion for the younger generation, and discouraged it among the elders, there was no nationwide rebellion or regret. There is no nationwide rebellion or regret as far as communism is concerned, Hindus maintained, though the country people object to the methods practiced in the cities where objections to private prop-erty confiscation cannot be heard. "The situation in Russia," the speaker con-cluded, "has hopes for the ultimate salvation of the country, so that it will again resume its place among the world powers." ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 87 ---------- DR. WILL DURANT Dr. Will Durant, philosopher and writer, noted for his popularized phil-osophy in book form, and his mental autobiography, "Transition", address-ed a capacity audience on the evening of January 27, 1928, using as his topic, "Is Progress a Delusion?" He replied that it is not, using the idea that "Empires may rise, or empires may fall, but civilization goes on forever." He pointed to the present condition of humanity, citing the longer span of life expectancy, more and better con-veniences, labor devices, the spread of education. Dr. Durant has been likened to the late William James, or, "the ideal of the educated man. So lightly and gracefully does his knowleddge sit upon him that instead of crushing, it human-izes him, to our great joy and profit." FLOYD DELL Floyd Dell, the author of half a dozen modern and popular novels, as well as several essays on education and life in general, spoke on the evening of March 9, on "Were You Ever a Parent?" The lecture was full of wit, common sense and keen thought. Mr. Dell defended the youth of today, spoke in favor of early marriages, condemned the modern intellectual novel as giving an erroneous impression of sex and psychology, and applauded the progressive advance of woman-hood. PRIVATE PEAT Perhaps one of the most unusual and interesting lectures given at the Normal school for some time was delivered by a man who came to the school on short notice and spoke in a special assembly, the time being too short to allow for a public appearance. On Wednesday, April 18, Harold R. Peat, internation-ally known as "Private Peat," spoke on "The Inexcusable Lie," in which he denounced the glorification of war and graphically portrayed the lurid horrors of life in the trenches during the great world war. Undoubtedly Private Peat in his short talk captured the hearts of his audience more completely than any other speaker who appeared on the local platform during the year. A strange type of speaker, Peat proved himself a person whose person-ality is forcibly impressed upon his every listener. A sudden change of voice, of attitude, and of manner, trans- formed the lecturer from formidable, demori-like being to a laughing college boy, which his speech changed from that surcharged with emotion and pas-sion to that of light humor which placed his audience in the frame of mind to receive the next thought of the speaker. The inexcusable lie, according to Peat, is the glorified aspect of war which is taught by the histories of the public schools. War, according to the lecturer, should be pictured as it is, a horrible thing, which turns men into monsters, and destroys the flower of humanity. Himself a victim of the fury of war, Peat spoke with the vehemence of a man who has seen once and does not care to see again. Eighty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 88 ---------- MUsIC Giving to the students of the Bellingham State Normal School one of the most musical and artistic programs in many years, the Musical Artists Course opened with Edward Johnson, tenor, of the Metropolitan Opera Company, on December first. Mr. Johnson, undoubtedly one of the most distinguished tenors of today, gave a program that took the hearts of his audience. He combined the artist and the actor, and held his audience spell bound with his interpretations. His ability as a singer and his personality gave the students of this school one of the events they will never forget. Then came Georges Enesco, the Roumanian violinist, on January 24th. Words cannot explain Georges Enesco. He is sublime. His swift bow takes one here and there, always leaving impressions, giving glimpses of dreamy lands, of blue skies, of tragedies, of sadness, for Enesco wraps himself into his music and incidently wraps his audience into himself. What stood out in this concert was the soft, smooth tones of the virtuoso, his delicate bowing and his quaint personality. The English Singers were presented on March 8th, in a program of madri-gals, folk songs, canzonets and ballads. The many lovers of part singing were amazed at the polyphonic effects achieved by this matchless ensemble. The freshness and vitality of their singing has set a standard that will live for long. Their perfection of colorful tones was combined with a final chord which carried marvelous harmony and seemed to come from an organ rather than from a group of human voices Harold Bauer is truly the master pianist. On the evening of March 27th, he proved this by his overwhelming conquest of technical difficulties, his clear poetic insight, and his extraordinary powers of interpretation. Harold Bauer puts his soul into the composition he is playing and makes the meaning of the creator very plain. This master's playing has such absolute perfection of inter-pretation that one forgets his surroundings and is enthralled by the artist. Florence Austral, soprano, gave a superb performance, Tuesday evening, April 17th. This artist has a dramatic soprano voice of power and beautiful quality. Her tones are of such purity that they seem to flow as smoothly as a mountain stream. The perfect balance and smoothness of her tone were perfectly placed and firmly established. Miss Austral also has great dramatic ability. She won an ovation from her audience. WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB Eighty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 89 ---------- MEN'S GLEE CLUB The last number on the Musical Artist Course was the Barrere Little Symphony, which appeared on April 19th. It consisted of a choir of wind instru-ments combined with a perfect balance in the string sections. This miniature orchestra possesses most of the qualities of the full symphony orchestra yet at the same time a sweetness and subtle charm which is lost in the larger group. All the members of the Barrere Symphony are notably recognized artists. This event proved to be a fitting climax for a most successful Musical Artists Course. ASSEMELY 1HRODGRAMS Perhaps the outstanding concert given in assembly was that of Catherine Wade Smith, nationally known violinist, on October 18, 1927. Miss Smith has almost perfectly mastered the technique of the violin. She plays with much feeling, getting a clear, pure tone, with a lightness that is remarkable. The Williams Trio of this city entertained in assembly on October 11, and the Underwood String Quartet of Oregon appeared on February 14. The Underwood Quartet presented a program of selections beginning with the old English folk songs up to the modern composers. The quartet carried a perfect balance in all their numbers and obtained beautiful effects in their melodious pieces. William H. Clark, baritone, achieved a tremendous success, and rendered a program which held the interest of the students.. Mr. Clark sings best in songs which call for action, and his rendering of "Danny Deever," by Damrosch, proved this. The "Sleepy Hollow Tune," by Kountz, a dreamy, haunting melody was also well received. The spring quarter was marked with the appearance of Sara Truax, dramatic reader, and David Campbell, pianist. Sara Truax presented two plays, both fitting for Normal audiences and intensely dramatic. She has a wonderful control of her voice and her imitations are perfect. David Campbell gave two interesting recitals, on the seventeenth and twentieth of April, lecturing on the numbers he interpreted. Mr. Campbell's lectures were very well given and informative. NORMAL SCHOOL MUSIC The glee clubs, both boys' and girls', have taken the form of social organi-zations, rather than classes, meeting only when it is convenient, with no restrictions on attendance. The girls have made one public appearance in assembly. During the winter quarter, a grand chorus of one hundred and fifty voices was selected to take part in the musical program at the dedication of the library, May fifth. The numbers by the chorus were: "The Heavens are Telling," from "The Creation," by Haydn, and the "American Ode," by Kountz. The orchestra, of twenty-five pieces, also took part in the dedication program. The number played was the "French Military March," by Saint-Saens.

The season may be considered a successful one, but not highly successful, for the Tri-Nor-mal championship went to Ellensburg when the SWildcats took the Homecoming game on Novem-ber 5, 12 to 6. The second defeat was suffered when the U. of W. Frosh ran off with the long end of the score on Denny Field in Seattle. THOMPSON Coach Sam Carver and Assistant Coach Earl Jewell sent out the initial football call for Monday, September 19th, a week previous to the starting of school. Twenty men answered the first call, but at the start of school, forty men were out in suits. MOLYNEUX One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 117 ---------- Nine lettermen were in the lot, and around these, the task of molding the Viking football team was centered. The prospects were sent through a gruelling grind, and it didn't take long for the men to show the results of training. The daily work consisted in charging, setting up exercises, and tackling the dummy. The line in particular looked strong, while the molding of a backfield combination seemed to be Coach Sam Carver's trouble. VIKINGS 31--WEST SEATTLE ATHLETIC CLUB 0 In the opening game of the season, Belling-ham Normal ran rough shod over the West Seattle WEBER Athletic Club, to the tune of 31 to 0. Only two and one-half minutes were required by the Vikings to shove the pigskin over the goal line. HYDE A blocked punt, recovered by Winnie Iverson, husky Viking guard, placed the ball on West Seattle's 25 yard line. A pass, Weber" to Thomp-son, netted 20 yards, and from the five yard line, Hawkings plunged the ball over. Bill Wanamaker figured. in on the next touchdown by blocking a punt, and with a few plays, the ball was placed on West Seattle's 15 yard line. Another pass, Web-er to Thompson, put the ball across the goal. Twice more, the Vikings scored. Armstrong broke lose EDMUNDSON One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 118 ---------- for a long run which set everyone in a frenzy. It was not only his pretty foot work but also the rythmic blocking of his team mates that contribut-ed toward the scoring of the touchdown. Only once did West Seattle threaten, and that was when they passed up to the one yard line, but here the Vikings put up their characteristic fight and held West Seattle in practically the same place for four successive downs. VIKINGS 6-CHENEY 0 AT CHENEY For three successive periods, Bellingham and ARMSTRONG Cheney went scoreless, but a determined attack on the part of the Vikings in the final moments of play defeated the Savages by a score of 6 to 0. Several times, the Vikings worked the ball up to within scoring distance, but seemed to lack the necessary punch to put the ball across. Captain Harold Hawkings heaved a pass to Thompson, REEVES which placed the ball on the 12 yard line. From here, the forward wall opened up and gave all it had so that the necessary touchdown could be gained. Oscar Thorsen, Molyneux and Eddie Hyde were the outstanding performers of the fray. VIKINGS 7-U. of W. FROSH 13 at SEATTLE Failure to cope with the University Fresh-men's aerial attack was the main cause for the Vikings loss of this game. The Vikings came back in the fourth quarter with an aerial attack that swept the Frosh off their feet, with Erickson passing to Armstrong. No less than eight succes-sive passes were completed, which is a record in itself. The ball was put across the goal line, ERICKSON One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 119 ---------- and Hawkings drop-kicked for the extra point. After this touchdown, the Vikings went on with the same kind of game, but it was too late, and the game ended with the score standing 13 to 7 in favor of the Fresh. Occie Thorsen played excep-tional ball, stopping plays in their tracks and spilling interference at will. VIKINGS 20-ST. MARTINS 7 ON WALDO FIELD A plunging, charging, Viking football team displayed the greatest offensive power of the seascn when they swept to a brilliant 20 to 7 victory over the St. Martin's eleven, in a bone crushing contest that afforded the capacity gath-ering of spectators many thrills. Coach Sam Car-ver's pets kicked over the proverbial dope bucket, spilling its contents over the sloppy gridiron, by mudding, plunging and passing their way through a bewildered Lacey aggregation, for, GALLENGER three touchdowns and one safety. After perform-ing well, Molyneux, Weber and Erickson were taken from the fray with injuries. Cox played a brilliant game at end, nabbing several difficult passes. VIKINGS 6-ELLENSBURG 12 In this Ellensburg clash, the game Carver and his pets had been pointing towards all year, IVERSON the outstanding play of Vick Peterson, Wildcat safety man, with the end runs of "Tex" Robinson, caused Bellingham's downfall, in the second half. In this fray, as in all other games, the Viking line play was outstanding. Bill Wanamaker was a tower of strength on the forward wall, playing from the tackle position. The game that the Vik-ings had pointed towards was lost by a score of 12 to 6. CHAMBERLAIN One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 120 ---------- VIKINGS 7-U. of W. SUPER VARSITY 6 A beautifully executed place kick by Leslie Cox gave the Vikings the one point margin that was necessary to win from the University men. A blocked punt put the ball on the Super's 21 yard line. Here Hawkings passed to Armstrong, who wrig-gled his way to the five yard line. Cox Another successful pass put the ball on the one yard line. Chuck Erickson took the ball across the goal line. The U. of W. gridders broke through on one of Chuck Erickson's punts to block it. From the twelve yard line, they carried it across for their lone touchdown.

Playing fourteen games, the Normal Varsity captured five and dropped the others by close margins. While their record is not impressive, the Vikings played good ball and were im-proving rapidly in the final tilts. Summarizing briefly, the following games were played: ISAACSON NORMAL 30-HEATER GLOVE 20 In the opening tilt of the season, the Bellingham Normal team dashed off to an early lead, and held it to the finish when they beat the fast Heater Glove quintet to a 30 to 20 score. Through-out the contest both teams checked closely, displaying fine floor work and defensive play, but hard luck at find-ing the basket. Neither team was able to locate the hoop very consistently; as a re-sult there was little out-standing individual playing. The Seattle quintet rallied in the last half and was up to within three points of the Normal total, but then the Viking offense got going and piled up a comfortable lead which was held for the remainder of the game. Earl Keplinger was high point man of the fray with a total of 12 points. BENSON NORMAL 25 U. OF W. FROSH 38 On the first road trip of the season, the Vikings dropped their first tilt to the Frosh, 38 to 25. The encounter started off with a bang, but before it had gone far, the Husky Babes were in the lead. With Rutherford and Twilliger leading the offense, the year-lings had little difficulty in maintaining a safe advantage all through the contest. NORMAL 17-ST. MARTIN'S 25 In a thrilling game, the second of the first road trip, the Vikings dropped a tough one to the Laceyites. The St. Martin's quintet played a driving and smashing game, charging through consistently for their goals. Burger, guard, was St. Martin's big threat, running wild to score a total of 14 points alone. THORSEN One Hundred Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 124 ---------- NORMAL 6-ELLENSBURG 17 In the first Tri-Normal game of the season, the Vik-ings dropped a hard fought contest, featured by a close checking to the Ellensburg Wildcats. Boasting a State Scholastic Championship team, they had a defense that worked to perfection, it being very seldom that the Vikings came within scoring distance. During the open-ing minutes of play, the Normal boys just couldn't hit the basket, while Ellensburg also had a hard time breaking through the Normal defense. Failure to score, in the opening minutes of play was the chief cause for defeat. ANDERSON NORMAL 29 Earl Keplinger, Viking for- CHENEY 33 ward, and Benner, elongated pivot man for Cheney. Both As the crack of the gun teams played a fine brand ended the fray and the smoke of basketball although the of battle cleared, the final invaders were stronger in score showed the Cheney the scoring department and Savages with a four point held a slight edge in hand-lead over the Bellingham ling the ball. The Vikings Vikings in their big Tri- displayed a good floor game Normal tussle, which was and showed the old fighting played in the Whatcom gym, spirit, but went down to a the final score standing 33 slightly smoother aggrega-to 29. The game was fea- tion. tured by fine shooting by ERICKSON NORMAL 31-ELLENSBURG 42 This was the first of a series of games on a road trip through Eastern Washington and Idaho. Outscored 27 to 6 in the first half, the Vikings came back strong in the last half, revealing their old fighting spirit by a dazzling rally which completely overwhelmed their eastern rivals, but were unable to overcome the 21- point lead piled up the fatal first half. NORMAL 26-YAKIMA 30 The brilliant work of "Zeke" McClurken, sensa-tional Viking forward, who was high point man with 16 markers, featured this tussle. Clarke and Benson also displayed good ball for the Normal quintet. Both displayed good floor work, with an occasional splurge of fine offensive play. JEWELL One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 125 ---------- NORMAL 27-CHENEY 45 Cheney again emerged victorious over the Viking hoop quintet by decisively defeating the Bellingham team 45 to 27. This was the third loss suffered on the Eastern road trip. Oscar Thorsen, Bellingham center, led his team in scoring honors, with 10 points to his credit. NORMAL 32- IDAHO FROSH 24 Taking their only victory in the conquest of the Inland Empire, Coach Sam Carver's hoopsters downed the Idaho Frosh in a hard fought mix by a 32 to 24 scor2 in a game played at Moscow. The game was fast and hard fought with both teams playing a good brand of ball. Occie Thorsen ran wild through the opposition to account for 17 of the Viking tallies. NORMAL 14 W. S. C. FROSH 36 Going down to their worst defeat of the trip throughout Eastern Wash-ington, the Normal Vikings fell before the aggressive W. S. C. Frosh, by a score of 36 to 14, in a game that was featured by spectacular shooting and close checking on the part of the Pullman-ites. The Vikings were "not on" and could not get going as a unit, falling before a faster and better groomed bunch of players. MCCLURKEN NORMAL 22- CLARKE NORMAL 28 ST. MARTINS 19 Coming back strong in the last few minutes of the final canto the Normal Vik-ings beat the Laceyite bas-keteers from St. Martin's college 28 to 19 in a sensa-tional game played on the Whatcom floor. The St. Martin's men were unable to cope with the unexpected attack, which was staged in the final minutes of play. -U. OF W. FROSH 32 This was one of the fastest games of the season, fast playing and team work featured by both sides, with the Frosh holding the edge, coming out on top with a 32 to 22 victory. NORMAL 33-COLUMBIA U. 29 Coach Sam Carver's Blue and White cagers broke loose with a driving attack which sent the Columbia lads from the Webfoot state home with a 29 to 38 defeat hung around their necks. The Vikings displayed a surprising offensive attack which centered around Thorsen, flashy center, who developed another one of his complexes with a sum total of 14 points. Working as a team the locals fought on to a decisive victory.

LANLLALL The Viking baseball men have been performing nobly on the diamond and the way things look now, it seems that Bellingham Normal will be represented by a versatile ball club. The return to school of two of last year's veterans, Ray Odell and Eddie Wingard, second baseman and chucker respectively, greatly encouraged Earl Jewell, who is coaching baseball, while Carver is looking after his track duties. At the time of this writing, the Viking diamond men have whitewashed several high school teams, and if they click the old horsehide at the present clip, they should have no trouble in winning the Tri-Normal Cham-pionship. Batteries for the games will consist of "Bush" Smith, behind the plate, and Eddie Wingard and "Granny" Thorlakson, doing the hurling. Both these men are dangerous with the club and, while they are performing in the box, will possibly resume duties in other parts of the field. With Thorsen at first base, Odell at second, Zeke McClurken at short, and Pinky Parker at the hot corner, a fast infield combination will be worked up before the season is over. Parker seems to be the weak spot at this time, but he is a hard worker and should have no trouble in overcoming his difficulties. Johnson, Clarke, and Bailey, all good wielders of the stick, will resume fly chasing responsibilities. Many other men are out working hard for posi-tions but at the present time, this seems to be the team that will represent the Normal on the 1928 diamond in the Tri-Normal games and other tilts with minor colleges of the state. One Hundred Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 128 ---------- TOP--Alfred Standen, Earl Hemmi, Robert Cox, John Bright, Karl Weber, Stanley Thompson, Ray Bright. SECOND-Tom Marsden, Tinval Brinkman, Neil Miller, Clarence Axelson, Wilfred Reeves, Elton Korsboen. FIRST-Frank Gallanger, Paul Howell, Foster Kirk, Charles Erickson, Roy Arnett, Ben Hamilton. TIRACL Coach Sam Carver seems to be well pleased with his men at this stage of the season and chances to win the Tri-Normal meet seem excellent. Both Ellens-burg and Cheney are totally unknown quantities so far, but as Viking athletes now are far superior to last year's title-holders, the locals should walk off with Tri-Normal honors. Although weak in the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and hurdles, Coach Carver's 1928 track team is unusually good in other events. Five letter-winners of former years are leading the pack of aspiring heroes, which includes numerous unknowns and young hopefuls. Earl Hemmi, Bob Cox, and Ben Hamilton, star sprinters, should give Normal the strongest combination in the short runs that it has had for years. All three are exceptionally fast men and have had much experience. Bill Reeves, 440 yard man is good but at present his chief difficulty is getting into condition. If he is able to round himself into shape, he should be a sure point getter in this year's meet. Frank Gallanger, winner of the half-mile run last year is out again, and should win this year. Tinval Brinkman, who hails from Ferndale, looks at this time to be the best man in the distances, with Ray Jewell running a close second. Roy Arnett, last year's best discus hurler in the Tri-Normal meet, will have to step on it to take first in this event this year as he will now be in faster company. Oscar Thorsen is out throwing the plate around, and at the rate he is progressing should win a place in the Tri-Normal meet. Ray Jewell is the best in the shot. "Chuck" Erickson, winner of last year's javelin throw at the State High School meet, should have no difficulty in that event and should take first place in the Tri- Normal meet with ease. The big meet of the year is at Ellensburg, where the three Normal Schools will vie with each other for Tri-Normal supremacy, Cheney, Ellensburg and Bellingham competing. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 129 ---------- With two veterans back and much untested material out for the Normal tennis team, strength at first and second place is assured but the strength of the Viking third will be doubtful, considering the performance of those out for the third post. Fisher and Thal, both dependable portsiders, are back to earn their letters again this year. Among those out for third place, Hamilton and Bond seem to be the best racquet wielders. Bob Fisher, lanky lefthander, who was second man on last year's varsity squad, probably will be first man this year. Fisher relies on a consistent driv-ing game to keep him to the fore. As a rule he plays a back court game, occasion-ally resorting to a net game, his height and reach aiding him considerably. He has a strong service, which will play havoc with his opponents this year. His reverse service is death on right handers, and it is almost impossible to drive. Myer Thal is also a left-hander and unless something radical happens, he should be second man without any fight whatever. His strength lies particularly in the driving game throughout, as he is consistently strong on the backhand. Third place will have to be fought out, but at the present time, the two logical contenders for it are Hamilton and Bond, with Bond having a slight edge. If Elden Bond is on, you might almost say that he could beat the world, but the trouble is-that he is seldom on. Bond resorts wholly to a smashing game, while. Hamilton lies back, plays steady, and hopes to gain by his oppo-nent's mistakes or errors. This year's tennis team will travel to Ellensburg to take part in the Tri- Normal Tennis meet, and there they will have a record to uphold. Bellingham Normal has not lost a single match in the years of Tri-Normal competition. Coach Sam Carver may make arrangements with the U. of W. Frosh and minor colleges of the state. Hamilton Church, Myer Thal, Robert Fisher, Elden Bond, Oren Tarbox One Hundred Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 130 ---------- KELLER BOWEN GEORGE PETERS W©IMIE ATHLETII ICS "To foster good citizenship and to provide recognition for athletic ability; To foster college spirit by developing intra-mural and inter-class athletics for all women, and To promote high physical efficiency among women." "A sport for every girl and a girl for every sport," is the aim of the Women's Athletic Association in this school. The Department of Physical Education for Women plans to have every girl who turns out for a sport, a member of an intra-mural team. Classes select girls who are to represent them on the inter-class teams. "All- Star" teams of the school are picked by the coaches and the athletic managers. Once a quarter a Sports' Banquet is held. The Board of Control awards sweaters to those girls making eight first teams and gives to them sports letters. Girls' athletics during the year 1927 and 1928 have been coached to a finer degree than in former years. Miss Beth Bowen and Miss Bertha Keller have together supervised the All-Season sports, while Miss Theresa Peters has charge of the Festival Dancing. Miss George has charge of hiking. An outline of the sports offered to the women in this school during this year, is as follows: Fall Quarter HOCKEY SOCCER VOLLEY BALL HIKING Winter Quarter BASKETBALL VOLLEY BALL SWIMMING HIKING Spring Quarter SWIMMING ARCHERY BASEBALL TRACK TENNIS RING TENNIS HAND BALL RIDING QUOITS NATURAL DANCING HIKING -One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 131 ---------- SOPHOMORE TEAM Dorothy McCool, Katherine Lawrence, Viola Searing, Anna Hicklin, Edith Gunderson, Mary Fox, Grace Neely, Nellie Barton, Jean Williams. s0iC6ER11 { Soccer held an important place in sports this year. Since its introduction into Women's Athletics in the fall of 1926 by Miss Bertha Keller, it has become one of the major sports. After weeks of preliminary practise in dribbling, kicking and blocking, intra-mural teams were chosen. Each girl made an intra-mural. Then followed the inter-class practise, and games between the freshmen and sophomores. FRESHMAN TEAM Virginia Bever, Rosa Van Ess, Frieda Massey, Lempi Koli, Genevieve Evatt, Helen Neilson, Elina Keltanen, Lillian Wendland, Grace Clampett, Ruth Bradley. Keen interest followed this sport all during the quarter. The sophomores tried to down the freshmen in order to annex a championship, but the freshmen had too fast and accurate a team; so the soccer season ended with a tie, neither team winning. However, the players who excelled in skill, sportsmanship and fine spirit were elected for the "All-Star" honor team. Miss Keller coached.

HOCKL Hockey, since its introduction into girls' athletics by Miss Kathleen Skalley in 1925, has become one of the most popular and successful sports of the year. This is one of the most difficult games for a team to play, as it requires cooperation, a quick eye, and a ready stick. Good sportsmanship was ever present this year. Maude Seward, Golda Abel, Lillian SOPHOMORE TEAM Ott, Mary Fox, Martha Gesdahl, Edith Gunderson, Nellie Barton. After a number of practises, teams were chosen. The sophomores not being able to down the freshmen in soccer thought they might gain the coveted champion-ship for hockey, but it was of no avail. The freshmen tied the sophomores. So again we had a sport season ending with a tie. An "All-Star" honor team was selected in Hockey. Miss Beth Bowen coached this sport.

VOLLE AI ALL Volley Ball is often said to be the best sport for girls. In this game many may play; each one has a responsible part and must keep a keen and alert mind. Team work and cooperation on the part of every member is a requisite for success. As in other sports, intra-mural and inter-class games were played. A great deal of enthusiasm and keen spirit were shown in the class games between the Sopho- Violet Graham, Katherine Lawrence, SOPHOMORE TEAM Jean Williams, Olga Stenvaag, Martha Gesdahl, Edith Gunderson mores and the freshmen. But- the freshmen proved "you can't keep a good man down" by winning the championship. An "All-Star" honor team was picked by the Physical Education Faculty, and Manager. This team was composed of both sophomores and freshmen girls. Miss Beth Bowen and Miss Bertha Keller coached this game. One Hundred Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 134 ---------- SOPHOMORE TEAM Violet Graham, Katherine Lawrence, Mary Fox, Anna Hicklin, Claire Beckwith, Anna Mura, Grace Neely, Catherine Otin, Jean Williams. Basketball has always been a major sport in this school. It was enjoyed by a large number of girls who turned out in the winter quarter. Competition was keen betweeen teams and enthusiasm was at its height because every girl was on an intra-mural team, thus making every one interested in the sport. The class teams were elected by the girls, and the championship games were played off, with a victory to the sophomores. Grace Neely had the best record at basket shooting The freshmen were out-played in all departments of the game but tried stubbornly to score. FRESHMAN TEAM Rosa Ott, Beatrice Johnson, Alice Sundquist, Lillian Wendland, Jeanette Mackie, Dorothy Sollie, Katherine Foster, Elina Keltanen, Arlene Johanson, Josephine Quackenbush. With hiking for women students now an all-year sport, the Women's Athletic Association is planning to give girls opportunities to enjoy the out-of-doors. Some trips are taken to nearby islands, lakes, and small mountains. Other longer trips are taken to Kulshan Cabin, and the Mount Baker region. Miss George is sponsor of all hikes.

ITRACK Track is a sport which gives every girl a chance to show any special skills that she has developed in throwing, running and jumping. A class track meet is held on Field Day, on which day competition is always keen between the sophomores and freshmen. Both classes have individuals who excel in hurdles, broad and high jumping and discus throwing. The relay is often the deciding event.

Intra-murals are picked and are seen on the diamond at Waldo Field. Class teams are selected and they are practicing prior to the championship games. The sophomores seem to have the upper hand but the freshmen are going to "turn the tables" and get a victory from the "age old sophomores."

SWIMMING Swimming, that "splashing sport" which affords joy and pleasure to so many girls here, was more popular this year than last, due to the coaches, Miss Bowen, and Miss Sullivan, who took Miss Bowen's place during the spring quarter. On March 9, 1928, at the Y. W. C. A. pool, the sophomores and freshmen had a "Water Carnival," in which the two teams contested for first place in plunge for distance, relay, speed and form in stroke, diving and retrieving relay.

A RCHERY "I sent an arrow into the air. It fell to earth, I know not where!" This statement is quite true-according to the girls turning out for archery. It is a thrilling and exciting sport. Since the introduction of archery in 1927, it has become enormously popular. Keen eyes and accuracy are the prerequisites to skill. Archery is great fun for all turning out.

Was tennis a popular and a very much enjoyed sport at school this year? What a question! But it may be answered easily if one will think of all the girls turning out at seven in the morning. This year tennis has really embarked on a major sport basis. Instruction for the squad at regular practice times on Tuesdays and Thursdays added interest to the season. Class competition in singles, doubles and mixed doubles made Field Day a real finale for tennis.

NHATURIAL DANHCING A new activity which is offered on the campus is that of Natural Dancing, in which those interested interpret music through the art of dancing. A dance recital is one of their aims. This school is very fortunate in having Miss Peters to coach dancing. RIIDING AND HANDI ALL Riding and Handball were two activities, which were enjoyed by a large number of girls. Riding proved very popular to the enthusiastic group of girls who signed up with Miss Keller early in the spring quarter. Riding, besides being an enjoyed recreation, is also a healthful activity. Handball artists met with Miss Keller on Waldo Field and many thrilling afternoons were spent in playing this much enjoyed sport.

"Four Out Of Every Five." Note ye the independent athletic woman. View ye the ears and the forehead healthily exposed. Perceive ye her flat but firm understanding. Witness ye the masculine neckline. Hear ye the, "What a keen moon for an all-night trip !" "No Other Like It."

One Hundred Forty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 150 ---------- By the end of the first quarter the freshman has discovered the hoard of future presidents and movie stars passing in and out of our side doors. The student's youthful vagaries are always lost under a strange and serious demeanor when student teaching looms in the foreground. The training-school is the test ultimate for the would-be teacher of the youngest generation. One Hundred Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 151 ---------- Dangerous days!

Her-"Do you like conceited men best, or the other kind?" She-"What other kind ?" "Goody, goody !" remarked the upturned tack at the approach of the Normal student. "I'll be in a teacher's shoes yet." Things that Never Catch Up- The back wheels Yesterday Parents Neglected notebooks. Wonder if the "suit that changed bathing to swimming," has any effect on the P. E. 23 classes? "What is that pasteboard you have?" asked the Normal girl. "That's a pawn ticket," I said. "Why didn't you get two so we could both go?" I fainted. Visitor-"What are those two statues of runners on the athletic field?" "Those aren't statues. You see Hollinbaugh and Duncan running the mile." I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, It makes the peas taste funny, But they always stay on my knife! "Say, Bill," remarks my friend to me one brite glorious morning, displaying a most unhappy countenance, "I had a dream last nite. Well, you know what dreams mean, and you know what dreamin' about NAMES means! So, according to the lady in assembly, I'm making all preparations for a trip to the insane house." And these are the poor fellow's very words. He said to me like this: "Say, it sure was RICH. I was riding along peacefully in my KIBBE KAR, when who should I bump into but that dere teacher who flunked me last quarter. Of course I wasn't out to HUNT trouble, but thinking of that flunk sure made me mad and I' wanted to KELLER rite then and there. She sure wasn't what you'd call a SUNDQUIST beauty, Bill, so can you blame me? I began to think of the MANY effective ways to FOWLER. Ah, thot I, I will CARVER! But just as I was about to TREAT her thusly, fourteen policemen grabbed me, one of them remarking to another, "I'll FISHER out of the way of this demon." Then said he to me, "EWELL come with me!" So what was a poor man to do, Bill? Say, it was awful. There I was in the COLE jail with nothing to eat but RICE, and none of my friends would put up BOND for me. Ain't dreams terrible, Bill?" said he to me. And I was inclined to agree.

The building is beautifully designed in the Romanesque style of architecture to har-monize with the main building. It was constructed by the best of work-men during the year 1927-1928 and was open for use on June 5, 1928. Dr. James I. Wyer, Director of New York State Library, formerly Director of New York State Library School, dedicated the building on that day. To Bellingham Normal School, this day was one of its milestones, mark-ing the realization of a great dream of her students and faculty. A spacious reading room covers almost the entire second floor, seat-ing some 300 students. Here twenty thousand volumes are on open shelves, accessible to students at all times. The coverings on the books have been selected in such a way that, on entering the room, one does not seem to see the books but perceives a room hung with ancient tapestries, blending beautifully with the walls and ceiling. Although Ringer Reese George Evans Treat Wilson Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 18 ---------- LIBRARY AT NIGHT it is mainly a reference and professional library for teachers, a compre-hensive collection of books on subjects related to a liberal education are found on the shelves here. On the second floor, too, is situated the delivery hall and the charg-ing desk serving the reading room and the closed stacks where choice volumes and bound magazines are kept. The catalogue is located in the left alcove of this hall. Nearby are a work room and the offices of the head librarian, the cataloguer and the reference librarian. Students may drop into these offices any time and the librarians are always ready to help them solve their problems. In the reserve book and periodical room on the first floor, books are found that the instructors require to be read. Current magazines and newspapers are accessible, in this room, at all times. The size of this room in comparison with the large reading room is indicative of the ex- tent to which independent work is being done by the students. The children's reading room across from the periodical room pro-vides a pleasing contrast with the large reading room on the second floor. Here the furniture is designed and arranged to meet the needs of three sizes of children, varying from the smallest tots of the primary to the upper grade children. Shelves and wall spaces are so arranged that interesting and valuable accessory material and displays can be brought before the eyes of the children. Some three thousand books are found on the shelves in the children's room. Courses in children's literature are given in every curriculum and it is here that the students find the books and contacts that make these courses worth while. The prominent location of the children's reading room symbolizes what the school pri-marily stands for, the preparation of teachers of children.

In its Freshman year the class, under the leadership of a capable group of officers and committees, won a laudable recognition. Every class function was a marked success. This year the officers have been the same for the three quarters, with one exception. They are: CHARLES ERICKSON , . . . . President ALICE SUNDQUIST Vice-President .JEAN MARQUIS Secretary KELLIE HAMMITT (replacing Jean Marquis) Secretary The class has been well directed, with Miss Hilda Rosene as class adviser. The two outstanding class functions of the year were the fall quar- ter dance, featuring the "Jingle Bell" Idea, and the spring quarter dance, with a "Sea-Going" motif. The dances were held December and April respectively. Now, as the class looks forward to new fields of endeavor, it looks back with fond memories upon two years of co-operation and accom-plishment.

Treasurer LEONARD RODLAND Frosh Representative The Freshman class, under the leadership of the Executive Commit-tee, comprising the class officers, was very prominent in school activities. The first function for which the Freshmen were responsible was the bonfire for the Pep Rally, which was the beginning of the Home Coming Celebration. Tradition has it that it shall be the duty and privilege of representatives of the Frosh class to build and keep intact from outside invasions, the Home Coming Bonfire. This class did well to keep up this old tradition and the right spirit was shown when called upon to help. Each quarter a party was given to which all Freshmen, and Sopho-more men were invited. For each party there was a general chairman, under whom was a committee that worked with the aid of the Executive Committee. In all the activities the responsibility was divided among those who were believed capable to carry out the work.

There was a change of management at the end of the winter quarter when Barney Chichester succeeded Harry Appleton as business manager, Dolly Anderson then taking Barney's place as editor. This year a much sought-for honor was accorded the Viking, when it received recognition in a nation-wide contest for school papers. The editors may be justly proud of their work, and the school proud of both. Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 66 ---------- Red Arrow The Red Arrow is a literary magazine published quarterly by the Scribes' Club and outside contributors. It gives the students an oppor-tunity for criticism of one another's work, and, for those who write, the chance for expression of those fleeting thoughts that may only be caught now and then, and are so seldom found on paper. This year the "Whoopee" number, published in the winter quarter, was very popular with the students. The material in the magazine is of several types-prose and poetry, serious and humorous, of varying ex-cellence, but of interest to all fellow-students. FALL QUARTER JANE L'EVEQUE . DOROTHY STRONG, MARION SNYDER WINTER QUARTER BERNARD CHICHESTER LLOYD BECKES, KRISTINE THORDARSON Editor Managers Editor Managers Contributors to the fall and winter publications were: W. A. Cram, Marion Snyder, Phil Davis, Irene Schagel, Arthur Kolstad, Jane L'Eveque, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, Norman Burchette, Pelagius Williams, Victor H. Hoppe, Barney Chichester, Leonard Keppler, Bennett Howard, Joy Efte-land, Mark Jarret, J. G., Paul Booth, Frances Gladwin, George Sherman, C. D. E., Margaret Sheppard. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 67 ---------- Self-Starter The "Self-Starter" is a booklet published by the Standards Commit-tee of the Women's League, and distributed to the entering women each fall. It is to the women what the "Blue Book" is to the entire school. It tells them about the League, it gives suggestive wardrobes and ex-pense accounts, it explains the house rules, and it lists the social activi-ties. So, by telling the girls about the League and its work, it helps them to become accustomed to Normal life. Directory The "Student and Faculty Directory," with its refill, is an effort to keep the students identified as nearly as possible, with their respective addresses and telephone numbers, which is sometimes a rather difficult task, as some students seem to change their residences every quarter. The Directory lists the faculty, the women, and the men of the school separately, thus giving greater facility in looking up the person desired. Blue Book The "Blue Book" is a necessary part of our school equipment, in-deed, many of us would be literally lost without it. It is published during the fall quarter, and contains information on practically every subject that could come under the head of a normal school, from the Faculty through the Student's Association, down to songs and yells. It contains information that every student should read and know, for it is of value during the entire year, and to everyone. The foreword says, "Consult this volume first, ask questions afterward," for, if you read intelligently, you may answer most of your questions for yourself. Sixty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 68 ---------- THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Drama A most successful dramatic season at the Bellingham State Normal School was presented by Victor H. Hoppe, chairman of the department of speech. Four outstanding productions, illustrating a great variety of situations, were presented during the year by the Normal Drama Club, under Mr. Hoppe's direction. A greater interest in dramatics than has ever before been shown was indicated this year by the increased activity of the Drama Club and by the many students who turned out for the quarterly drama productions. All of this year's dramatic achievements are examples of outstanding plays, enviably acted and excellently staged and directed. "The Merchant of Venice" "The Merchant of Venice" was given in the summer quarter on Au-gust 8 and 9. The leading role of Shylock was an unforgetable por-trayal as interpreted by Mr. Hoppe. Carrie Ann Tucker as Portia, the heiress, played her role exceptional-ly well. The setting was a stylized suggestion of the Elizabethan stage and costumed in the stage style of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 69 ---------- SUN UP "Sun Up" The 1928-29 dramatic season at the Bellingham Normal was opened with the presentation of "Sun Up," by Lula Vollmer, in December. The action occurs in the interior of Widow Cagle's rude and isolated cabin in the North Carolina Mountains. To these mountaineers the only known justice is found in "A life for a life," the law of the feud. Circum-stances under which Widow Cagle receives news of her son's death over-seas bring a new outlook to these mountain folk. "Sun Up" is a serious drama, which displays an unusual characterization of life in North Caro-lina mountains. "Seven Keys to Baldpate" The winter quarter presentation of the Drama Club was "Seven Keys to Baldpate," a melodramatic farce, by George M. Cohan. The winter solitude of lonely Baldpate Inn was weirdly interrupted many times, as one by one the possessors of the seven keys disclosed themselves. Frank- lin Lock, Joy Efteland, and Florence Kern in the leading roles were sup-ported by a clever cast. Mr. Hoppe's direction of the melodrama was highly appreciated by the many who attended the productions. Sixty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 70 ---------- SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE Outside Drama This season the Normal School has presented five dramas by three excellent outside companies of players. The Moroni Olsen Players presented "Expressing Willie," a comedy by Rachel Crothers; "What Every Woman Knows," by James M. Barrie, and "Autumn Fire," an Irish folk tragedy by T. C. Murray. Moroni Olsen was seen at his best in the role of Owen Keegan in "Autumn Fire." The Ongawa Japanese Players presented an unusual and varied pro- gram from a repertoire of Japanese folk lore. The program included songs and dances of old Japan as well as a quaint playlet. The Charles Rann Kennedy Players produced the drama, "Old Nobody," by Charles Rann Kennedy. "Old Nobody" is a play for male-factors. The setting and action made it a very unusual type of drama. Seventy ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 71 ---------- ICEBOUND CAST Left to right: Wanamaker, Irwin, Sasse, Berg, Philippi, Swalling, Morse, Edmondson, Rich, Kern, Chichester Icebound The last offering of the dramatic season was "Icebound," by Owen Davis. In an isolated New England farmhouse both the selfish and kind motives within the Jordan family are developed. A strange and surpris-ing turn of events leads Jane Crashy to pull Ben, the son, out of his for-mer self and force the rest of the family to release their selfish thoughts. Florence Kern as Jane Crashy, and Barney Chichester in the role of Ben Jordan, made the play an unusually fine piece of drama. Seventy-pne ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 72 ---------- NORMAL WOMEN'S CHORUS Visiting Musical Artists Presenting varied programs of the finest types of musical art, the Bellingham State Normal School annually brings many famous artists to its students. Katheryn Meisle, contralto, presented the first concert of the year. As one of the most outstanding contraltos of the present day, Miss Meisle enchantingly held the admiration of her audience throughout her entire program. The mastery of interpretations and her colorful tones were completely perfected. The ability of Miss Meisle as a singer and the quality of her beautiful program set a standard that will be difficult for any contralto to surpass. As the second concert artist of the season, Louis Graveure appeared on his first concert tour singing from a new repertoire in the tenor range. Renowned as a recital baritone, he abandoned his position last year and immediately became a leading tenor. With a well rounded voice of con-centration and quality Mr. Graveure gave a concert which will be long remembered by the school. Outstanding among the concerts of this season was the delightful recital of Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, pianists. Words cannot truly ex-press the quality of their playing. The two pianos played not as if they were separate but rather as one immortal instrument. Possessing every noble quality of artist and actor, Mr. Maier and Mr. Pattison held their audience spellbound with their interpretations. Responding with many encores, the duo was accorded an ovation that is never to be forgotten. The London String Quartet, among the finest in existence, appeared on the next program. The four instruments perfectly portrayed each human voice and in the hands of their masters produced marvelous har-mony. The listener could not be but enthralled and charmed while hear- Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 73 ---------- ing the beautiful "Andante Cantabile" movement from Tschaikowsky's Quartet in D. The entire program was one of exquisite art, and the praise which was accorded the quartet distinguishes it as the finest that has ever appeared before the school. Quite in contrast to the preceding presentation was the program of the Kedroff Quartet. Singing many Russian folk songs and selections by Russian composers, all in their native language, the Kedroffs gave a program of rare quality. Their interpretations were as realistic as could be possible for human voice to portray. Perfectly matched and blended tones came not from individuals but from a matchless ensemble. Florence Austral, soprano, who gave such a superb performance a year ago, returned as the last number of this year's Musical Artists Course. Mme. Austral has a dramatic soprano voice of exquisite power and quality. In the same manner that she put her soul into each selec-tion her personality extended throughout the audience. Mme. Austral was accompanied by John Amadio, flutist, who, with the piano, formed a rich background for the brilliant soprano voice. This program was most fitting as the closing number of the season. Lectures Many interesting lectures are given before the student body during the year. Although many subjects are presented, generally the ones of the greatest interest have been those from foreign lands. Joan London, daughter of the famous writer, while speaking on the subject, "Thru the Looking Glass of Literature," offered a thorough explanation and criticism of our modern literature. Miss London's clear insight into the works by contemporary writers was greatly appreciated by the student body. The Orient contributed two of this season's speakers. From Japan came Dr. Roy H. Akagi, who explained in a most interesting manner the social advancement of his country during recent years. Dr. W. T. Locke, for many years a missionary in China, spoke not only of China and her national conditions but more of the greater subject of world brotherhood. Contessa Marie Loschi, during her brief tour of the United States, gave a most interesting lecture to the students of the Normal School. The theme of her address was the rapid change and improvement of the Italian people since the World War. Two men came to the school as representatives of the great conti- nent to the south of us. Edward Tomlinson revealed many of the great future possibilities of South America. Harold O. Fish brought to the student body a lecture, "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory," which was accompanied by many beautiful picture slides. Among the most enthusiastic of speakers was John Langdon-Davies, from England, who spoke on "The New Age of Faith." Many interesting student questions followed the lecture and Mr. Davies answered each in a most brilliant manner. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 74 ---------- WOMEN'S TEAM Brown Massey Hendricks H. Fitzwater Debate Early in the fall quarter a schoolwide interest in debate was reawak-ened by the intramural debate series. All of the leading clubs and a num- ber of independent groups organized debate teams to represent them in the elimination tournament. Thru the partial replacement of the customary style of debate by the no-decision and cross-examination type, the participants must be unusually familiar with the subject in order to refute direct questions. The cross-examination method of refutation has gained the increased approval an dpopularity of the student body as, by this method only, the true cleverness and wit of the debaters are shown. The men of the school participated in five debates, winning three, while the other two were no-decision contests. The women debated three times and lost but one decision. MEN'S TEAM Cram Summers Bell S. Craft Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 75 ---------- Cup Winner, Joy Efteland, and Stanley Craft, Runner-Up Extemporaneous Speaking The extemporaneous contest, in the third year of its existence, has continued to gain an increasingly stronger place among school activities. With but a short time to prepare, the contestants are allowed to speak for five minutes before the student assembly upon any of many topics of current interest. Each quarter two contestants are chosen to compete in the finals which are held near the middle of the spring quarter. The increased popularity of the extemporaneous contest is indicated by the large numbers of students who have turned out each quarter for the activity. The greatest number of students entered the contest in the fall quar-ter, making the competition keen. Edith Dyer and Stanley Craft were chosen as the two successful aspirants. A great spirit of enthusiasm which was also shown in the winter quarter resulting in the selection of Arthur Cram and Ray Craft by the judges for later competition. In the spring quarter preliminaries Joy Efteland and Maurine Lind -were chosen to compete in the finals. In the final contest, held on the twenty-sixth of April, all of the aspirants gave excellent speeches on subjects of uni- versal interest. Joy Efteland was selected as the guardian of the beauti-ful extempore loving cup, while Stanley Craft was adjudged the winner of second place. The extemporaneous contest has served to secure a new spirit in the school towards public speaking which has resulted in a valuable type of educational development for many students.

The house awarded a banner for three consecutive quarters is allowed to keep it permanently, but as the amount of play is not considered in making the awards, the banners change hands frequently.

Frosh bright for the AT Bellingham Ellensburg Bellingham Bellingham Seattle Bellingham Though the Vikings won only one of the six games played, they came through the season heroic-ally and the Normal is proud of the way in which the fellows took their defeats and won their lone victory. Following are the schedule and scores of the season's games. DATE Oct. 13 Oct. 19 Oct. 27 Nov. 3 Nov. 10 Nov. 117 VIKINGS Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings Hamilton Erickson Anderson One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 116 ---------- Eastwood Cox ' Stickney Ellensburg Game In the first Tri-Normal tilt of the season, the Viking grid mach-ine was defeated at Ellensburg on October 19. The weather, unlike that on the western side of the mountains, was hot and dry, with a chilling dry wind blowing across the field. All through the first three quar-ters of the game the Vikings played a defensive brand of ball, and it was not until in the 'latter part of the fourth quarter that there was any chance for the Bell-ingham team to cut loose with anything besides straight football. When they did it was too late to do more than threaten the Ellens- burg goal, but this was accom-plished, for had there been a few more seconds to play it is quite probable that Bellingham would have returned home with at least a score to her credit. They had lost all but their fighting spirit and their desire to win, and these two qualities they clung to until they at last relieved their pent up feelings on the unsuspecting St. Martin's eleven. VIKING-RANGER MIX-UP One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 117 ---------- Geri Moe McLaughlin Cheney Game "Home-Coming" For one to invite a man into his home to help him celebrate the re-newal of old time friendships, is a very highly commendable thing to do. But for that man to leave one's home after the celebration, taking with him all the glory of the occasion, while his friends all stand around and wonder what is the matter with their host, is quite another thing. Yet such was the case when the Cheney Savages were invited to participate in the annual home-coming event at Bellingham Nor-mal. The Savages, casting aside all consideration for their host, proceeded to beat him at his own game in his own home, and make him like it. The game was so close that at almost any minute the score might have been changed into a Viking victory instead of a defeat. The Savages had not forgotten the six to nothing defeat that the Vi-kings handed them the season be-fore at Cheney, and they were only "getting even." FROSH TANGLE One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 118 ---------- Williams Gunn Weber St. Martin's Game Of Viking victories we long to read, more than anything else. Here is the story of the only Vi-king victory in the 1928 football season. The Norsemen invited the St. Martin's College football team to play in the Viking backyard, again this season and they accepted the invitation. The rangers came all the way from Lacey to play a nice little game of football, and the Vi- kings didn't seem to care a bit. The Normalites tramped on the boys from Lacey so much that the vis- itors began to think that the home town boys did not play fair. The Vikings teased the visitors along for a whole quarter and a half before they made a score. Then in the closing minutes of the second period of play, Odell ran wild to make a 55 yard gain before he was forced out of bounds on St. Martin's four- yard line. "Red" Williams then took the ball for two plays and put it on the one-yard line, and Chuck Erickson put it across on a hard line smash, for the only score of the game. A SAVAGE PILE One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 119 ---------- Haeske O'Dell Dickey Super Varsity Game Sand is often one of the prime requisites of a football player, but the game at Seattle with the U. of W. Super Varsity eleven was the "sandiest" game this writer has witnessed. It was on a wind-bleached, rain-swept field of sand that the Normal Vikings went down to defeat to the tune of 6 to 0. The first few minutes of the game saw the loss of two star men, Erickson and Moe. But despite the loss of these two men, the Norsemen fought on and were glorious even in defeat. The Vi-king spirit was as undefeated as ever. Frosh Game On the seventeenth of Novem-ber, the U. of W. Frosh invaded the Viking home and walked off with the Norsemen's goat to the unpleasant score of 13 to 0. The locals were out-weighed and out-played in every department of the game. When the Norsemen had the ball, they could not penetrate the Frosh defense. Line smash and end run alike were turned back repeatedly for no gain. The Viking aerial attack was as a kite before a .March wind. Only once did the Norsemen come within scoring distance of the goal and then the Frosh line was akin to the rock of Gibraltar. Reeves Gravrock Bechtel Cole One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 120 ---------- Dixon Lundberg McClurken Clark Varsity Basketball Resume Beginning the twelfth of Janu-ary, 1929, the Viking Varsity cag-ers opened one of the most suc-cessful hoop seasons that they have had for several years. The first game was with St. Martin's College, when the Norse-men trounced the Rangers with a 41 to 15 score. Then the Roths-child's team from Seattle visited the Normalites and nearly walked away with the contest. However, in the closing minutes of the game the Normal boys came to the front and took the mix from the visit-ors, 33 to 30. The game was one of the fastest ever seen on a Bel-lingham floor. The first of the Tri-Normal ser-ies came with Ellensburg at the home of the Wildcats. They tram-pled all over the Norsemen and won the fray by a large score. On the following night the Vi- kings invaded the town of Yakima and left a defeated quintet of Gen-erals. The Norsemen outpointed the Generals by ten counters, and went on their way across the state and tackled the Cheney Savages in the second Tri-Normal contest. This was another victory for the fast Viking cagers. From their victory over the Savages the Vikings went into Spokane and walked all over the quintet of the Spokane College. Thence the Norsemen, from a suc-cessful trip, returned to the home courts where they met a hard de-feat at the hands of the University of Washington Freshmen. The week following the Frosh game was one of victory and de-feat for the Vikings. The Cheney Savages visited in the early part of the week and were sent home a beaten bunch. Later in the week, the Ellensburg Wildcats invaded Bellingham and marched triumph-antly away with the Viking goat. Then in Seattle the next week the Vikings lost another hard game to the Frosh. After this they traveled to Lacey and won from the St. Martin's quint. The next week they closed the season with a win over the Spokane College quintet. Thus closed a successful season.

In the final contest, the Supers trounced the Roland Wreckers, 47 to 38, and were in a position to claim the trophy for their own. The Supers were up against as hard a schedule as any team would want to face at any time, and all of their games were hard fought and close. Not only did the Supers have a tough schedule to buck, but they had to give up the best of their players to the Viking Varsity squad, when it started out in the collegiate race. Thus weakened, the Supers did honor to them-selves and to the school by coming out ahead in the race for the cup. In winning this year's cup, the Super quintet set a precedent for the teams of the future seasons to follow, that will tax the fortitude of many a hard working lad. The Supers had a hard path to cut in the wilderness of competi-tion and they did their job as only Supers could do it.

The Juniors started the season with a win over the Junior Me-chanics on November twentieth. The game was an easy victory for the Normalites, being won by a score of 65 to 17. The next game the Junior quint did not fare so well, for they dropped their con-test to the Independents by a nar-row margin. Followed a series of Jayvee wins that carried them through to a tie with the Y. M. C. A. quintet for the first half of the split sea-son. The Jayvee squad was a team of all forwards, and every man on the squad had to be a good shot. While the Junior team won most of its games by a large margin and big scores, it is singular to note that the players from the Normal were not listed in the ranks of the high score men of the season. The fact that all of the Jayvee players were good shots probably accounts for their staying right up in front most of the time. After coming out in a tie for the first half honors, the Jayvees went out and grabbed off all of the first honors in the second half of the season, and refused to share them with anybody else.

FROSH AT SEATTLE, MAY 4TH TRI-NORMAL MEET-BELLINGHAM, ELLENSBURG, CHENEY, AT CHENEY MAY 25THI FROSH MATCH On Saturday, May 4, Coach Carver took a four-man squad, consisting of Thal, Erickson, Keplinger, and Church, down to Seattle to meet the strong University of Washington freshman team. Four singles, and two doubles matches were played, with the fresh-men holding the edge over the Normalites. TRI-NORMAL MATCH May 25th, the Viking's three-man team will journey to Cheney, scene of the Tri-Normal meet, with high hopes of bringing back the Tri-Normal championship which they lost to Cheney last year. Two singles and one doubles match form the schedule. Although this year's squad, at the date of writing, does not appear as flashy as last year's team, it is believed that they will take a stronger combination to Cheney than the one which represented Bellingham at the Tri-Normal meet of 1928, which was held at Ellensburg.

Rain hindered the early season practice, just when the early work would be of the most benefit. Rain caused the Viking coaches to post-pone the first game of the season with St. Martin's College on April 13. On April 20, the game with the University of Washington Varsity had to be dropped because of the crying tendencies of Old Jupe Pluvius. During the following week, good weather prevailed until Saturday, April the twenty-seventh, when the weather again threatened to stop the game between the Norsemen and the Freshman team from the U. of W. Following the Frosh game, the Viking schedule was all shot to pieces due to the cancelling of two games with Centralia Junior College, and the games with Cheney Normal. With the Freshmen out of the way, St. Martin's was next on the list. After disposing of the Rangers, the Vikings journeyed to Ellensburg to tangle with the Wildcats. Then remained only the return games with the Frosh and St. Martin's diamond aggregations.

The first of these meets was at Seattle on May 4, when Coach Carver sent a med-ley relay team to participate in the Washington Relay Carnival. The second meet came on Wed-nesday, May eighth, also at Se-attle, where the Viking team met the University of Washington Freshmen. Following the Freshman meet, the College of Puget Sound sent a team to Bellingham to attempt another defeat of the Vikings. The meet with C. P. S. was expected to be a hard and close one, with the visitors as the favorites. With the first three meets out of the way, the fourth came along on the twenty-fourth of May. This time the Norsemen traveled all the way across the state to Cheney, where they entered the Tri-Nor-mal meet. At the very first of the season, track prospects were good for a well-balanced squad. It looked as if there were plenty of weight men in school to go along with the runners. Later it developed that the weight men were falling far short of early expectations. Outstanding in their track and field work are: Erickson, who is getting his javelin out over 180 feet, and is doing a little over One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 127 ---------- Arnett Axelson Bey Bright Brinkman nineteen feet in the broad-jump; Carboneau, who is doing the mile in about 4'40"2; Bey, in the pole-vault is getting right up in the air; and the sprinters are led by vet-eran Earl Hemmi. Bright, who is last year's record holder of the mile event, is still in champion-ship form, and promises to make things for any competition. In the middle distances, Howell, Axelson, and Eagan are the lead-ing contenders, while Brinkman is going strong in the two-mile event. Looking ahead into the latter part 'of the season, it might be safe to say that Viking hopes for championship are brighter than they have been for several sea-sons.

The goal, "A sport for every girl," is indeed being realized. To Miss Kathleen Skalley, Miss Helen Do-zier, and Miss Grace Sullivan, much credit is due for their en-thusiastic leadership and skillful coaching. New sports which may prove popular are introduced each sea-son. This year serve-us ball, bad-minton and speedball were added to the sports program. To provide for the most effec-tive practice, the girls turning out for each sport are divided into in-tramural teams which play off a series of games. From this group, class teams are selected.

The Women's Athletic Associa-tion, which is the center of the activities, was very efficiently di-rected by Dot Sollie and her crew. Banquets at the end of each sport season, a kid party, masquerade, carnival are some of the activi-ties which will be remembered with pleasure. Viqueen Lodge, the camp site on Sinclair Island, which is owned by the Women's Athletic Associa-tion, was inhabited by many jolly groups during every season of the year. When the spring days ar- George rived, the girls wore their working clothes and prepared for days of landscaping and general improve- ment around their cabin. A campaign to earn money for the Lodge was heartily entered into by the girls. The did every kind of job from shining shoes and tutoring to staging a very successful student- faculty pro-gram. An International Play Day was sponsored June 1 by the Normal school,when women from the Uni-versity of British Columbia and the University of Washington were our guests.

EVATT A FAST DRIBBLE Head of Sport Hockey Armed with shin guards, hock-ey sticks and much determination, about thirty aspirants prepared to master the art of dribbling a hockey ball down the field, of passing successfully before being attacked, of backing up the for-ward line. The group was divided into two intramural teams, the Bumps and Smashers. In the three games which were played, the Bumps won the series with scores of 2-1, 1-4, 3-2. With everyone in good form from practice, the interclass ser-ies were initiated by a scoreless, hard fought battle on a frozen field. The second game ended with a 5-1 victory over the Sophomores. This game gave the champion-ship to the freshmen for the final game was again a tie.

Evatt, Swanson One Hundred Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 134 ---------- COWAN Front Row: Cowan, Coventon Head of Sport Second Row: Neely, Williams, Dahlman Third Row: Massey, Parkhurst, Swanson Fourth Row: Smith, Howe Swimming Speed, good form, and correct methods of life saving were dis-played at the swimming meet which was the grand finale of a successful swimming season. The Sophomores, by winning the exciting relay races, took the championship. The Life Saving team demon-strated their work in carries and holds. March second, many of the girls went to the U. of W. to a Play Day for the Normal school and U. of British Columbia. They had a very interesting and delightful time. Front Row: I'arkhurst, Smith, Coventon, Massey, Brooks, Cowan, Arland Second Row: Dow, Williams, Wilke, Howe, Sullivan, Dahlman, Gable, Swanson, Shepard One Hundred Thirty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 135 ---------- SPEEDBALL IN THE AIR Speed Ball Speedball, a combination of soccer and basketball, was intro- duced into the sports activities Spring quarter. The great deal of enthusiasm with which the girls turn out for this sport verifies its popularity. The game is based on speed. The girls learned rapidly the tactics of getting the ball down the field in the least amount of time. Baseball "Batter up!" Thus were many exciting games started during the baseball season. Many of the or-ganized houses formed teams and a series of games were played off. This gave many more girls the op-portunity to play than is afforded by the regular turnout. The classes were tied for honors when the yearbook went to press. SOLLIE A PRACTICE GAME Head of Sport One Hundred Thirty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 136 ---------- Dancing at Fairhaven Park Natural Dancing One of the most popular recrea-tional activities as well as a regu-lar Physical Education subject is Natural Dancing. The aims are to develop grace-ful movements and body poise through a natural, enjoyable means. Each spring the girls exhibit the work they have done in Natur-al Dancing in a dance program. Miss Dozier has done much to help develop a keen appreciation of natural beauty in dancing. Hiking "There's a long, long trail a-winding Into the land of my dreams..." Our hiker sings these lines and smiles contentedly, as memory brings back pictures ever filled with fascination. Once again, with happy comrades, she follows Miss George over the trail, (winding through mid-Autumn's warm, sun-lit forest, while leaves of russet, burnt-orange, and gold are rust-ling and dancing around her feet. In winter, the trail leads through fairy wonders untold, for Jack Frost has draped trees, bush-es, and ferns in fluffy, white lace, glittering and sparkling where the sunlight reaches. How quiet the woodland seems now! With spring, comes the thought of Mt. Constitution. When once on its summit, the hiker imagines the Sound, dotted with number-less islands, truly tilted on edge, all for her to behold. Wherever she be, on Mt. Baker's still snows, or by windswept Puget Sound with its waves dash-ing high, the hiker learns to know Nature. She scarcely needs think of the All-Star Hiking Team as an incentive when Saturday comes. She is heartily glad that these wonderful hikes are for ev-ery girl in school!

Effective decorations of the flags of different nations were a feature of the party. During the intermission a program of representative folk dances further carried out the Na-tions idea. Cupid crowned Louise Griffin, Queen of Hearts of the Freshman Party February 15. Joyce Arnold and Rosalie Strong were the Maids of Honor, and Mildred Kent, Norma Freeman, Mary Clearwater and Ruth Irwin, her other attendants. Bobby i :Kessler was the charming Cupid. Queen Louise The Sophomore " Jingle - Bells " dance on Friday, December 14, was a decided success. The holiday spirit prevailed and the gym was decked with holly greens and Christmas trees. During the intermission Santa passed out gifts to the guests. The gymnasium was transformed into a floating palace with port holes, fog horns, a twelve mile limit and a bar, for the Sophomore "Sea Going" party on April 5. A deck was equipped with card tables for those who did not dance, and a gypsy for-tune teller entertained the curious. Soph Tars One Hundred FQtty- one ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 142 ---------- Women's League Quarterly Informals A ,t' r" 8 L r C One Hundred Forty-two This year six informals were giv-en, two each quarter, one by the Women's League and one by the Dormitory girls. These dances were very cleverly planned and the effects were most attractive. The dances carried out distinctive ideas for the different seasons. Catherine Morse, Social Chairman of the Women's League, deserves much credit for these succesful functions. An Indian Summer Frolic, the fall informal of the Women's League, was given November 2nd in the Edens Hall dining room. Amidst relics and some of the symbols of American Indians, a hundred and twenty cou-ples enjoyed a most delightful even-ing. A cunning wigwam in one cor-ner was the well concealed punch booth. The appropriate decorations were duie to the efforts of Ouida Da-vidson and her committee. A modernistic dance with gor-geously colored octagonal lamp shades gave a weird and unusual glow to the Edens Hall dining-room when the Outside Girls had their In-formal, March 9th. Jay Curtis and his Melody Makers played behind a cream curtain and the red lights and vividly painted panels gave much modernistic atmosphere. The "Dance of Dreams" was the theme of the Women's League Infor-mal given May 3rd in the Edens Hall dining-room, which was transformed into a dream room with balloons, wisteria and billowy affairs-depic-tive of growing things. Lattice work and wisteria formed the punch booth from which girls in natural dancing costumes served refreshments. ~ ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 143 ---------- Edens Hall Quarterly Imformals "Wintertime" was the atmosphere in which the "dorm" girls enjoyed their first informal of the year, De-cember 8th. Decorations of icicles, snow and evergreens were cleverly arranged by Virginia Schmitt and her committee. The Melody Makers furnished the music which lent much pleasure to the occasion. In a typically Irish setting with lights of a medieval castle shining from the background, the girls at Edens Hall gave a Blarney Dance, March 2nd in the Blue Room. Punch was served from a rustic well by two Irish girls in their green costumes. Irish dances were printed in the green pigs, the programs. This in-teresting and enjoyable Irish Wake was in charge of Virginia Schmitt, Edens Hall Social Chairman. A huge likeness of the Oriental Buddah looked down upon the Edens Hall Spring Informal. Garlands of wisteria and lighted Japanese lan-terns festooned the hall, transform-ing it into an Oriental summer gar-den. Colorful panels picturing man-darins and fire-expelling dragons gazed at the party from behind the wisteria. Jane L'Eveque, social chairman of Edens Hall, was commended high-ly for the success of this informal. There were two informals last summer, one for the Edens Hall girls and one planned by the Women's League. The former featured a Jap-anese theme, and the latter trans-formed the hall into a summer day in Hawaii. One Hundred Forty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 144 ---------- Kid Party The Women's League annual Kid Party in honor of the incom-ing freshmen girls took place in the "Big Gym," October 5th. Decorations of pink and blue were effective and the "kid" cos-tumes added much gayety to the scene. The evening's diversion was dancing; the music was furn-ished by a girls' orchestra. Catherine Morse, Social Chair-man of the Women's League, was in charge of the affair. W. A. A. Dance The W. A. A. Dance December 7th, under the direction of Rose Brooks was a clever affair at which part of the girls were dressed as boys. Prizes were awarded the three best imperson-ators. Dancing was the chief di-version of the evening and music was furnished by a girls' orches-tra. A program of folk dances, a pianologue, natural dancing and piano solos were also enjoyed by the girls. During the Spring quar-ter the W. A. A. presented a novel all-girls' carnival dance. "Rec" Hour The students gather together every Friday afternoon for an hour of Recreational Dancing in the Big Gym. The music is furn-ished by Jay Curtis and his Music Makers. One Hundred Forty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 145 ---------- Fifth Annual Home-Coming The fifth annual Home-Coming was an enjoyable week-end of renew-ing old friendships and making new ones. The success of the affair was largely due to Joe Hermsen, the general chairman, who was assisted by Glen Goddard, bonfire chairman; Eleanore Brown, luncheon chairman, and Dorothy Sasse, dance chairman. The celebration started with a huge bonfire and Pep Rally, Friday night, October 26. Luncheon was served at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria, after which was the football struggle between Bellingham and Cheney. The grand climax was the dance at the armory Saturday evening, where Grads gathered together beneath banners for their own classes. The music was furnished by Ralph Hennes' orchestra. Men's Club Dance The men of the school entertained in the Eden's Hall dining room on February 8th. Under the soft glow of shaded lights and greenery, one hundred couples danced to the music of the "Washington Ramblers." Joe Hermsen, social chairman, was in charge of the enjoyable affair. Winter Tea The All-school Tea, sponsored by the Women's League, was given at Edens Hall, Thursday, January 3rd, from 4:00 to 5:30. An interesting musical program was presented by talented students of the school. Miss Leona Sundquist, Miss Kathleen Skally, Miss Hazel Plympton and Miss Ruth Platt, faculty members, poured. The tea is the annual custom for the all-school mixers in the Winter quarter.

In it are familiar aces, familiar names. As our pres-ent slips away into the past and time searches out for us the precious things, these pages will stand witness to us of days lived gladly. Let it speak then of happy things, the strenuous business of college life, the joy of sport and play --- all the bright, morning things of this our college life. ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [vii] ---------- Dedication To the spirit of riendliness that lies at the heart of our college life; the spirit which unites students and faculty in the happy enterprises of campus days; that welcomes in the Freshman and makes of him a loyal comrade and sends the graduate away with a sense of spiritual kinship to his school. Its value is greater than the value of all our material assets: its sweep is wider than the great waters that lie stretched before us: its manifestations more numerous than the islands that dot the straits. It is the soul of Bellingham Normal. ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [viii] ---------- To Olive Edens You have not left us; you are only away on an extended leave of absence. Your students, your colleagues, your friends---all continue to feel the heartening warmth of your friendliness and the stimulation of your vigorous mind. As we look forward to the coming years, we know that your spirit will always be with us to make us more tolerant and more human. You found the good life, and with the inspiration of your example we, too, may hope to discover the way to wisdom and happiness. ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [ix] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [x] ---------- ,_ ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xi] ---------- Administration ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xii] ---------- -i-::-:;-:-:;- ;-:- -~---e : a .. i ;i- ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xiii] ---------- Classes Now. -r L .l w"n I I/3- ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xiv] ---------- :~-"':;-:;-::::"-:;I-r-; ~--- :- ~- ~--:r^r:;~~;-~r-:--;- -- -; :----;: -- ::- -- -- : - -- - :- ;: : ::: -: ' ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xv] ---------- Student Organization ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xvi] ---------- lt; _ _ . _ ,; . ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xvii] ---------- I~~ I Athletics fak ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xviii] ---------- .-_-i :: -~-:: ; --i~i--:_;_:-- --- I--- C--i:::?::; 1 i:-- ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xix] ---------- -- ~;t88~ prsr rcBi ;r 1:r Training School II Qu -1 ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xx] ---------- T.. ---- :- "II: ::-~- ~~ -a ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xxi] ---------- School Life .. ,. n9 ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xxii] ---------- gt;1 I. f-- ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xxiii] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page [xxiv] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 9 ---------- PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER President's Message The KLIPSUN is meant to be a record of school life with its many kinds of activities. While the record is most interesting today, it will be increasingly interest-ing with the passing years. Familiar faces and scenes and amusing and serious incidents are made a permanent record. Here we have life in its varied experiences and life will flow on in much the same way in the future. Students have learned from each other and teachers and students have learned together. We have had the good fortune to share life together in a happy and idealistic environment. From nature's storehouse of beauty in the mountains and the sea, we have had much enjoyment and inspiration. May a love of the great outdoors, courage to meet life, desire to know, search for truth, joy in living and happiness in work, abide with you always. -President C. H. Fisher. Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 10 ---------- W. J. MARQUIS ADELE JONES ,JAMES BEVER Dean of Men Dean of Women Dean of School Deans The most vital factors of the school program are under the control and guid-ance of three administrators: James Bever, Dean of the School; Adele Jones, Dean of Women; and W. J. Marquis, Dean of Men. Problems pertaining to classes, curriculum, and scholarship are regulated in the office of Dean Bever. The student receives valuable advice and assistance con-cerning course of study, programming, and credentials from this office. Dean Jones guides and advises women students in regard to room and board, student employment and social activities. Students are served, through her office, in these and other features of student life. Men of the school receive a similar service in the office of the Dean of Men. Dean Marquis advises men students in problems of living conditions and employment. The administration of these leaders is a valuable and essential feature behind school activity and growth.

The attractive Romanesque building was completed June, 1928, and marked the realization of a great dream of our faculty and students. The main reading room, on the second floor, seats three hundred students. An excellent and comprehensive collection of twenty thousand professional and educa-tional books are on open shelves, accessible to the students at all times. The charging desk, card catalogue, and closed stacks are also located on the second floor. Current periodicals and required reading materials are accessible to students in the reserve book room on the first floor. An excellent children's reading room is designed to meet the needs of all grade school pupils. Three thousand books are available to the children and to the stu-dents of children's literature. Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson is the head librarian, Miss Beatrice Doty acts as children's librarian, Miss Pearl Reese has charge of the reserve library, Miss La Verne Farlow does the work at the charging desk, Miss Esther Stallman is refer-ence librarian, and Miss Lillian George is cataloguer. This efficient staff, through the organization of the various departments and their personal service, help make the library a source of unlimited value to the student who seeks liberal education and training as a teacher of children.

Its membership of about sixty includes all upper division students in school and is expected to increase rapidly due to the new requirements for longer attendance. The outstanding function of the year was a "get together" luncheon at Edens Hall in March. This luncheon served as a means of making members of these two classes better acquainted and also as an introduction to the events planned during May and June.

The spirit of cooperation has been manifested in three parties which could not have been successful v'ithout the fine spirit demonstrated by the faculty, com-mittees, chairmen, and the members of the class. These three quarterly parties have been the major activities of the class this year. A novel idea was carried out in the first party of the year, given in October. Because of the proximity of the Hallowe'en season, a "superstitious" idea was worked out by the committees in both the program and the decorations. In February, the sophomores, in hoopskirts and powdered wigs danced stately minuets and Virginia reels in "Washington's Silver Ballroom."

I. C.C. Representative MR. PELAGIUS WILLIAMS Adviser Under the leadership of the Executive Committee, comprising the class officers, the Freshman class led the school in all activities. To start off the year, the Freshman were responsible for the Pep Rally bon-fire, which was at the beginning of the Home Coming celebration. Tradition has it that it shall be the duty and privilege of the Frosh class to build and keep intact from outside invasion, the Home Coming bonfire. The whole class turned out splendidly to work and help under the leadership of Mark Sanders, chairman. Each quarter a party was given to all Freshman with Sophomore men invited. For each party there was a general chairman, under whom was a committee that worked with the aid of the Executive Committee. The chairman for the fall quarter party was Bob Walters, the winter quarter party was Quentin Quick, and for the spring quarter party was Earl Hutchins. In all the activities the responsibility was divided among those who were be- lieved capable to carry out the work.

Finley Arnold Johnston Julia Bouck Fifty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 59 ---------- The Northwest Viking The second best Normal or Junior Collegiate newspaper in the United States. This is the judgment granted to the weekly Northwest Viking in the National Columbia School Press Association contest sponsored in New York, in 1930. The Viking was thus judged as a result of six issues being submitted throughout the year. To Dolly Anderson, editor, and Gordon Leen, business manager, during whose term this honor was won, must go much credit for such a splendid ranking. With a new staff, under Ray Craft, editor, and Gordon Leen, business mana-ger, in the spring quarter, 1930, the Viking underwent several interesting experi-ments. A questionnaire, devised by the staff, was presented to the students. Through this medium the staff secured criticism of the paper, both good and bad. This questionnaire showed some surprising results and furnished some excellent material for the staff to use in makeup. An experiment in the use of type was also made, the object being to enable more material to be covered in the space attoted. If news stories can thus be suc-cessfully compressed, the type will be adopted regularly. A keen student interest in the Viking and a general appreciation of the work it accomplishes is ample proof of its success as the official newspaper of the Bellingham State Normal. WHEN "THE VIKING" WENT TO PRESS Fifty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 60 ---------- Souvenir Football Program Each year a souvenir football program is published supplying interesting information about the Homecoming game. This year's program, edited by Don Stickney and Jack Gudmundson, was one of the best of its kind put out by any Normal or College. Outwardly the book resembled a regular football in shape and color, and within its thirty-two pages it contained information of all kinds. Descriptions of both teams, and dope sheet, records of the results of past games between the Bellingham Normal and Ellensburg Normal, and a large number of photographs were included in the makeup. The program, thus published, was both attractive in its appearance and com-plete in its material, having all of the necessary features of a conventional souvenir football program. Directory The "Student and Faculty Directory" is published early in the fall quarter of each year. Its purpose is to identify the students as nearly as possible with their respective addresses and telephone numbers. The faculty, the men of the school, and the women of the school are listed in separate groups so as to give greater facility in looking up the names. Milton Odell and Oren Tarbox were responsible for this publication which has proven of value to every student. Sixty ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 61 ---------- Souvenir Program of Tri-Normal Meet This spring, for the first time in the history of the school a souvenir program was published for the Tri-Normal Track and Tennis Meet. Jack Greaves and Gordon Leen edited the booklet while Lyle Summers acted as sales manager. Cheney and Ellensburg Normals as well as the Bellingham Normal were well represented in this program from the school colors used as a cover design, on through the writeups and photographs. Track and tennis team pictures, photographs of the three schools with accom-panying writeups, score sheets, "The Dope," by Mr. Bond, records of past meets, were some of the features of the booklet. Humorous line engravings used throughout the thirty- six pages, served further to make the program one of interest to the students. Blue Book The Blue Book is a student's handbook which is prepared under student direction and published at student expense. It comes out at the beginning of the fall quarter and the information that it contains makes it an essential part of every student's school equipment. The year's school calendar, various administrative officers and school com-mittees, requirements of different kinds, the constitution of the associated students, yells and songs; these are some of the features of this worthwhile booklet which does much to acquaint the new student with school and also help the old students to better adjust themselves to the ways of the institution. Sixty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 62 ---------- CAST FOR "R. U. R." "R. U. R." R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), a brilliant satire on our mechanized civilization, was presented by the Drama Club during the summer quarter of 1929. The following cast under the direction of Victor H.

The story, dealing with the return of the prodigal son, Dennis, and the complications that follow is rich in humor and has as characters genuine, everyday people. These characters were ably portrayed by the following cast: MRS. HEOGHEGAN GEORGE PETER KATE JANE BABY DENNIS DONOUGH BROSNAN JOHN DUFFY DELIA HANNAH AUNT ELLEN Chloris Fisher Joe Wetherby Karl Decker Aileen Hurlburt Helen Sullivan SM .adeline Friese Don Stickney John Rajala Thad Ellis Maurine Lindh Eunice Paulson Mary McDonald S;xty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 64 ---------- CAST FOR "THE YOUNGEST" "The Youngest" The presentation of "The Youngest," by the Dramatic Club, closed the dramatic season on May 22 and 23. This play is high comedy, the story of the youngest of a large upper class family who finally succeeds in his struggle for independence, against the raillery of his older brothers and sisters. The following cast took part in the play: Charlotte Winslow Mark Winslow Alan Martin Martha (Muff) Winslow Richard Winslow Nancy Blake Katie Augusta Winslow Martin Oliver Winslow SJ ean Philippi Lew Lovegren Charles Dewey Bernadine Brown Tom Durham Louise Griffin Virginia Howell Mrs. Du Bois Quentin Quick Sixty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 65 ---------- CAST FOR "THE GIANT'S STAIR" "The Giant's Stair" "The Giant's Stair," a melodrama in one act by Wilbur Daniel Steele, was one of the two plays presented in assembly this year by members of the play production classes. The plot of the play concerns the efforts of Sheriff Bane to force either Mrs. Weatherburn or Til to confess to the murder of Mr. Weatherburn. However Bane, himself, confesses to the killing in the end of the play after a knock has been heard upon the door; all of them believing that the ghost of Weatherburn has returned. Helen Sullivan directed the following cast in the production of this play: Til Weatherburn Virginia Turner Mrs. Weatherburn Mary McDonald Sheriff Bane Quentin Quick Contoole, Prosecuting Attorney . . Hugh Lovegren S:xty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 66 ---------- NORMAL WOMEN'S CHORUS Musical Artists Course The past season of the Musical Artists Course has undoubtedly been one of the finest ever brought to Bellingham people and Normal students. On December 11, the course opened with Ingaz Friedman, one of the most outstanding pianists of the day. He has so mastered technique that with him it is truly a means of expression and not an end in itself. His audience was held com-pletely by his exquisite interpretation and the delicacy and color of his tones. Mr. Friedman will surely be long remembered. Efrem Zimbalist, violinist, came on Monday evening, January 27. He plays superbly, giving utmost care to the most exquisite tone possibilities. His famous instrument, the Titian, in the hands of the master gives itself completely to his marvelous renderings. He is an artist who assuredly merits his rank as one of tile world's finest violinists. Closely following the virtuoso, on the night of January 29, came the Carleton Symphony Band, which is unique in being the only college symphonic band on tour. They played splendidly and in perfect unison, responding brilliantly to their en-thusiastic reception by the audience. The Smallman, a Cappella choir, on February 20, achieved an enormous suc-cess. The audience was quick to realize that they were witness to something not only novel and charming but also remarkable in the music realm. The huge choir sounded forth as a powerful organ, swelling from the delicate whispering of wind in trees to the mighty roll of a roaring ocean. To say that their voices were flawlessly blended falls far short of the mark. Their colorful costumes were an added appeal. The brilliant American baritone, Lawrence Tibbet, was presented on February 27. He won his listeners immediately and completely. The artist gave his very soul and being to his performance and his music poured forth in a glorious flood Sixty-sir ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 67 ---------- of eloquence. The quality of his voice is fine, with a multitude of shadings and colorings always carrying in its force and beauty a thrill of robustness. His vigor-ous and winning personality left an impression that with many can never be erased. As a fitting close to, a splendid musical artists course, Mina Hager, mezzo-contralto, attained a really notable success. She chose a highly versatile and inter-esting program which brought out her extraordinary range of voice. She is not only an artist of much capability, but a dramatist of charming and captivating per-sonality. Assemblies An astonishing number of both very worth while and highly enjoyable assem-bly programs have been presented to the student body in the past year, the greatest emphasis, as is customary, being placed upon the musical phase. During each quarter there has been, however, at least one so-called lecture course of most note-worthy merit. First in this group carne Ellery Walters, who gave a highly entertain-ing account of his exciting adventures while touring the world on one leg. A most engaging personality, with a sparkling and ready wit, he found his audience to be enthusiastically responsive. Next came Maurice Hindus, the well-known Russian writer and lecturer. An authority on conditions in his native country, he explained them, interspersing his talk with most intimate little glimpses of the people themselves. He was asked many questions at the end of his lecture which he answered gladly and capably. Maud Sheerer in her recital of "dramatic recreations" was delightful. She was indeed a rare treat. Her personality is so vivid and her accomplishment and ability such that her characters live with a striking realness. Bathie Stuart, if judgment can be based on applause, was one of the most successful speakers of the year. She gave an authoritative account of New Zealand, and portrayed, in costume, some of the native songs and dances in war and love. The musical programs were many and almost uniformly excellent. Among the most outstanding are numbered George Hopkins, pianist, who is marked by oritics as one of the most promising young artists before the public. The Portland Chamber Music String Quartet came to us with a music that is different. They were highly appreciated. The world-famous cellist, Cornelius Van Vliet, gave a brilliant and exquisitely lovely recital. August Werner, the baritone, won a splendid ovation from the audience. He has a glorious voice under perfect control. There were many others whose lasting impression with their listeners is assured; for instance, Peter Meremblum, violinist, and the popular Gemma Paglieri, soprano, who sings Italian songs in costume. There were also several commendable recitals given by former and present students of the Normal and local artists. Sixty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 68 ---------- Thorpe Craft Summers Reid Quick Thompson Fitzwater Lilienthal Langworthy Debate Schoolwide interest in debate was manifested this fall when an unusually large number of students signed for preliminary try-outs. No special debate class was organized,-students contested independently and without regard to former ex-perience. Those who were selected to represent the Normal School in interscolastic debates were: men's team-affirmative, Lyle Summers, Roger Reid, and Ray Craft; negative, John Thorp, Quentin Quick, and Charles Gerold; women's team -affirmative, Helen Fitzwater and Lois Thompson; negative, Louise Lilienthal, Eleanor Langworthy, and Alice Burke. The system of debating used this year was the no decision, cross-examination type, which was introduced here last year. This system is ever increasing in popu-larity among the students. The men of the school participated in six interscholastic debates. They debated the College of Puget Sound, Seattle Pacific College, Pacific Lutheran College, Weber College, Oregon State Normal, and the Freshman of the University of Wash-ington. The women of the school debated with the College of Puget Sound, the Pacific Lutheran College, and the Seattle Pacific College. The question for debate this year was: Resolved that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament excepting such forces as are necessary for police forces. Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 69 ---------- Extempore Cup Extemporaneous Speaking Public speaking has been recognized for many years as a most valuable phase of teacher-training. Extemporaneous oratory provides excellent practice and one of the best means of the development of this training. Miss Alma Madden, a former teacher of speech in this school, realizing the value that prospective teachers would gain if they were given an opportunity for such practice, founded the Extem-poraneous Contest in 1926-27. It has since been a quarterly event. Any student in the school who is interested in this activity may select an approved topic on which to speak, and from all those turning out six are selected to speak before the assembly. The two speakers ranking highest among these have the right to compete in the finals during the spring quarter in which the two winners from each quarter take part. The honor of having his name engraved upon the silver loving cup which has been donated by the Board of Control, goes to the winner of the finals. In the fall quarter Quentin Quick and Eleanor Langworthy were the successful candidates, their topics being, "President Hoover and World Peace," and "Peace and Civilization," respectively. Helen Fitzwater and Charles Gerold proved to be the winners during the winter quarter. Miss Fitzwater's topic was "The Defects of the Jury System," and Mr. Gerold's, "Is the London Conference Succeeding?" It has been evident that the contests are successful judged by the large number of students trying out the fall and winter quarters and by the enthusiasm shown by them. At the time this annual went to press the winners had not been chosen for either the spring quarter contest or for the finals. The Extemporaneous has not only secured a new spirit for public speaking and debate but has also served indirectly to present current events and international problems to the student body. Sixty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 70 ---------- Markhart, Tew, Braniff, Jewell, Kelly, Walters, Benthien, Thue, Ward, Dewey, C. Cramer, W. Cramer, Musser Viking Pep Band The first Pep Band of which Bellingham Normal has ever boasted was organ- ized in the first of November, 1929, by Clarence Thue. At first it was merely a group of six or eight instrumentalists, most of them amateurs, who met once or twice a week to practice school pep songs and simple marches. It grew rapidly, though, both in size and proficiency, and made its first public appearances at various of the more important football games. It played a prom-inent part in the celebration of Homecoming Day, November 16, when it supplied the music for the down-town parade, the bonfire, and the football game. At all these affairs Jack Musser acted as band director. After the football season closed, the band was a fairly well organized musical unit. Its members had advanced in individual skill and were used to co-operating with each other. During the winter quarter the band presented four successful assembly programs, playing from standard orchestrations and from special arrange-ments scored by Clarence Thue. It was at this time that the band was at its best, and the assembly programs, with Clarence Thue acting as band leader and Jack Musser as master of ceremonies, were among the most popular of the year. At the beginning of the spring quarter it was found that so many of the band members had withdrawn from school that it would be impossible to continue the band's activity. Accordingly, it was disbanded until next fall, when it will be re-organized if possible.

These same memories will bind together the girls who lived in the different organized houses. Each quarter it has been the custom to present two banners to these houses. One goes to that group of girls who have shown the highest scholarship and the other is awarded for the best achievement record. If a house wins either of these banners for three consecutive quarters, it remains with that house permanently.

Carver ably heads the men's physical educa-tion department and controls men's athletics at the Bellingham Normal. Coach Carver handles the first team squads of football, basketball, track, and tennis, be-sides instructing several coaching theory classes in the school. As an assistant to Coach Carver, Royal Gunn, who has had several years of coaching and physical educational instruction to his credit, handles the second squads in football, basketball, and tennis, and acts as head coach in baseball. Although the credit of selecting and training the men to represent the school in athletics is in the hands of the coaching staff, much credit for the successful organization and smooth progress of the men's physical education department is due to the athletic management headed by Edwin Hunnicutt and William Osborne, assisted by Dale Overfield and Louis Schaffer.

The scoring started in the first quar-ter by a touchdown and was repeated in the second and third quarters which were all gained by an attack of passes, punts, and line plunges. The Vikings threatened to score once more in the fourth quarter but failed when' a pass over the goal line fell to the ground. The St. Martin's Rangers showed no signs of scoring until the last quarter when they threatened twice. Once they hurled the ball over the goal line but it fell to the ground as did the one that the Vikings tried over their goal line during the same quarter. The second threat came from the Rangers when they broke away for a long run and gained by a fifteen yard penalty against the Vikings which put them within eight yards of the goal, where they were stopped by the Viking defensive line. Ninety Erickson ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 91 ---------- Miller Priem Cheney Game With a touchdown in the first five minutes of play the Cheney Savages won their Homecoming game from the Viking visitors 7-0, which finished their scoring for the day, but put a band on the Bellingham squad that they could not throw off during the remainder of the four quarters of play. The Savages put up a hard plunging game with a strong defensive line which was supported by Stannard, Cheney center, who was the outstanding defen-sive star of the game. With this com-bination the Cheney squad nearly took the Vikings into camp with two more scores, but a strong rally seemed to always stop that oncoming line before they could score. A different scene took place during the last quarter of the game and the Vikings took to the air, which almost brought home the victory. In fact they crossed the goal line once, but were called back because the ball carrier placed one foot out of bounds on the ten yard line. Twice the ball was hurled over the goal line by a Viking, but fell to the ground untouched. Ninety-one Flowers ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 92 ---------- Mollan Sherman Ellensburg Game "Bellingham ball on their own 20- yard line with the final quarter almost over and the score is 0-0, but they'll punt out of danger-" What a feeling to a Viking rooter to see that punt blocked and the Vikings hold against a plunging Ellensburg line for two "downs" and then see a triple pass with a heavy wet ball that falls into the arms of a Wildcat across the goal line. "Coming- Home" to see a Viking squad battle through a football game with the old Wildcat rival from Ellens-burg certainly must be a thrill, but more of a thrill when their Viking team ploughs through a cold field of mud and rain for four quarters never to give in even though the final score turns into an Ellensburg victory of 6- 0. This was Bellingham Normal's "Home-Coming" and final game of the season. Worsham Ninety-two Stickney ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 93 ---------- Cardwell Iverson Super Varsity Game The Normal's greatest defeat of the year was handed to them by the heavy University of Washington Super-var-sity team on November 8th, when they came through with a 19-0 victory. Frosh Although outclassed in weight the Vikings took an early lead on the Uni-versity Frosh by making a touchdown in the first five minutes of the game on Waldo field, November 2nd. The Vikings showed their greatest ability during the second quarter, but the strong battering attack of an old ex-perienced university machine proved too powerful for the lighter team. Game The Vikings' fast attack could not be stopped by the heavy Frosh team and it was not until they also took to the air that they scored against the Normal squad.

These aspirants were divided into two groups. The most outstanding and progressive were put in Class A while the less ex-perienced and slower material was put in Class B. During the first part of January the best material of Class A was taken to make up the Varsity squad while the remaining players were di-vided into the Super Varsity and Jun-ior Varsity squads which entered the city leagues. The Viking Varsity team won seven games and lost an equal amount. They placed second in the tri-Normal bas-ketball league in which Ellensburg took first place. On January 11, the Vikings opened their schedule by defeating St. Martin's 33-32, but the losers came back on their home floor February 22, and de-feated the locals 30-27. After two weeks the Viking squad left for a week's trip to the eastern part of the State where they lost two games to Ellensburg and one to Yak-ima Y. M. C. A., but defeated Cheney in two games, which was repeated again on February 3 and 4 in the Vikings own camp. The Vikings won one game and lost one respectively to the U. of W.

April 26 marked the date of the first meet of the season when Coach Carver took his Norsemen to Seattle to enter a dual meet with the U. of W. Frosh which was easily taken by the Frosh, as Normal took but three first places in the meet; those being the half-mile, two-mile, and pole vault. Again on May 3, the mile relay team journeyed to Seattle to take second place in the Class B event in which Cheney Normal took first place. The next week saw the cards turn in favor of the Vikings when they easily walked away with a 781/3 to 511/3 vic-tory from the College of Puget Sound at Tacoma and another victory the fol-lowing week when they easily out-pointed Ellensburg in a dual meet on Waldo field to the score of 88 to 42. May 24 marked the climax of the track season as the Vikings acted host to the tri-Normal meet on Waldo field, which Cheney Normal won by a score of 641/3 to Bellingham's 581/3 with El-lensburg Normal lagging behind with 71/3 points. Although the weather was chilly and there was a strong wind, three tri-Normal records were broken. Pelly from Cheney broke the two-mile tape in 10:11.2, raising the record from 10:26. Oja, also of Cheney broke the discus record with a heave of 126 feet 11 inches. The other record was scored by Dixon of the Viking squad when he hopped 21 feet 1/g inch to raise the former broadjump mark of 21 feet. ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 99 ---------- Eagan Cole Shelton Gravrock Track Events and Viking Entries EVENT VIKING POINT WINNERS Mile run . . . . . 140-yard dash 100-yard dash . . . 120-yard high hurdles 880-yard dash . 220-yard dash .

As there were but four letter-men to return to uphold the blue on the baseball diamond, prospects for a good year looked rather poor during the early part of the season, but brightened up as practice progressed to a more ma-tured stage as a good number of new men proved to be of a fair baseball calibre. The Vikings opened their varsity schedule on May 3 by dropping a game to St. Martins College on Waldo field to the score of 5 to 2, but came back on May 10, to avenge that defeat by handing the St. Martins College nine the short end of a 3 to 2 score. Iverson Moawad Gravrock One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 103 ---------- Dixon McCleary Thorsen The second defeat was handed to the Viking squad by the College of Puget Sound, who exploded the bomb in the third inning and scored five times, but were soon stopped by a comeback from the Viking baseballers who gradually gained on their opponents until the last inning which decided the victory in the visitors' favor by a score of 10 to 8. Rain, which so often hinders baseball practice and puts a stop to games, played its part with the Viking sched-ule and delayed the U. of W. Frosh from colliding with the Norsemen for a time, but when they did meet the vic-tory went to the Frosh by a 8-0 score. The final game of the year was played between the Norsemen and the College of Puget Sound in which the former walked away with a 14-0 score.

Directing the year's sport program were Miss Ruth Weythman, head of the women's physical education depart-ment, her two assistants, Miss Marjory Horton and Miss Mildred Jewell, who coached the various sports, and also Miss Lillian George who took charge of hiking. To obtain the greatest efficiency in the turnouts, the girls are divided into intramural teams which play off a series of games. After the games have been played, determining the intramural champions, the class teams are selected from this group of girls. Those girls who throughout the sport season have shown themselves to be outstanding in skill, accuracy, and sportsmanship are given places on the all star team. W. A. A.

Girls who received this high honor at the end of the fall and winter quarters were: Marjorie Conventon, Alice Babcock, Joyce Arnold, Louisette Bergeron, Bernice Johnson, Beatrice Johnson and Helen McNeill. Viqueen Lodge, on Sinclair Island, is the scene of many happy times. The girls of the Women's Athletic Association are proud to be the owners of such a site. Work is the by-word of the girls who go there now, but it is with a spirit of fun that they are making the lodge a place for many enjoyable times. To make the dreams of Viqueen Lodge come true, the girls have entered into many activities to earn money. The W. A. A. sponsored Tony Sarg's Marionettes, and also gave several special recreational hours and a dance. Due credit for the successful year of the Women's Athletic Association is given Ruth Sammons, president, and her helpers. Play Day at the University of Wash-ington on May 3, a dance given for the Cheney basketball players, and the banquets given at the end of each quarter, have left memories of most enjoyable times with every girl.

In spite of these collisions and traffic jams, soccer was the most popular out-of-door sport of the season. Variety of weather for our sports is an interesting feature. Our soccer cham-pionship game was played amid snow and ice. No boundaries were visible-our imaginations had to be our guides. In spite of tile adverse weather condi- tions the Sophomores became the vic-tors by making that one point which is so vital. Interest for the final class games was enlivened by the thrilling intra-mural games which were no end of fun. Members of the all star soccer team are: Florence Goodman, Joyce Arnold, Alice Babcock, Ann Swanson, Bernice Gnagey, Thelma E ngel s on, Olovene Bewley, Gay Smith, Margaret Sater, and Dorothy Root.

Hockey is a sport for speed and quick thinking. Every girl is on her tees from the second the whistle is blown until the end of the game. The interclass games were games not to be forgotten soon. The Froshs and Sophs each had a game to their credit, and the championship was still in need of an owner. The deciding game was played one noon-the rain was coming down in torrents, but the girls were willing to play in any kind of weather. The end of the game showed the Sophomores victorious by a 7-0 score and the Freshmen a little downhearted but true sports. The hockey all star team was formed by Sigrid Wiberg, Florence Goodman, Alice Babcock, Helen McNeill, Bernice Gnagey, Ann Swanscn, Raynhild Ben-dixen, Sarah Sharpes, and Adriana Vander Griend.

Six different teams made up the in- tramural league composed of organized houses and clubs. The Outside Girls were the victors of the league. Miss Mildred Jewell and Miss Margery Hor-ton coached the sport and Helen Will-iams acted as manager. The Sophomores, backed by the stel-lar playing of Kathryn Graham and Sue McMillin at the center, won the class championship. The Frosh were no easy competitors with Sigrid Wiberg and Charmaine Whally as star hoop-sters. The all-star team for basketball was composed of: Sigrid Wiberg and Char-maine Whally, forwards; Kathryn Gra-ham and Sue McMillin, centers; and Irene Marz and Wera Waham, guards. SOPHOMORES VS.

The tournament was won by the Freshmen team. Mariette Bergeron was the able manager of the sport. The volleyball champions of both classes were: Janet Dodson, Dorothy Reed, Gay Smith, Evelyn Watt, Eunice Paulson, Ruth Sammons, and Mariette Bergeron. Badminton Badminton has ranked high on this year's athletic program as a fast and interesting game to both players and spectators. The singles championship went to the Freshmen, while the Sophomore team won the doubles championship. Bernice Johnson was the efficient man-ager of the sport. Ray Bendixen, Marjorie Coventon, and Bernice Johnson, were awarded places on the all- star team.

The Frosh team won the champion-ship after some strong competition from the Sophomores. Serve-Us Ball Although competition between the Sophomore and Freshmen teams was not as strong as in some of the other sports, the serve-us ball games were of decided interest to the participants. The championship went to the Soph-omore team. SERVE-US BALL One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 111 ---------- FRONT ROW: V. Smith, Whitenack, G.

The four intramural teams gave some keen competition and made the spirit of rivalry run high. After the intramural tournament was played off the class teams were chosen from those who had turned out. Speedball Although a comparatively new sport, speedball has won much favor among the girl athletes. It is a combination of basketball and soccer and may easily be called girls' football. Under the coaching of Miss Margery Horton and management of Florence Goodman, the speedball season was very successful. SPEEDBALL One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 112 ---------- FRONT ROW: Johnson, Bergeron, Bendixen, Marchand SECOND ROW: Burke, Hatley, Steele, Waters, Smith, Kerr Tennis Tennis gained much attention from the girls this year. The courts were constantly full of players practicing their serves, drives, and trick plays. The matches were played off by means of a ladder tournament. Miss Mergery Horton coached the sport for which the teams were chosen from those highest on the ladder. Archery A new version of Greenwood Forest and several feminine Robin Hoods, were to be seen back of the grand-stand every Monday and Wednesday night during spring quarter. The girls turning out became archers of note under the coaching of Miss Mildred Jewell. The teams were chosen from those highest on the ladder.

This sport, newly added to the year's ath-letic program, was coached by Miss Margery Horton and managed by Mar-iette Bergeron. A number of interesting matches were played off before the selection of the singles and doubles teams. Golf Fore! And the small, white ball is winging its way down the fairway at Waldo Golf and Country Club. Al Kuzmoski, the well known "pro," conducted three classes of this sport. A first team in golf was chosen from the girls who participated in matches at the Lakeside Country Club.

TN THE CILTTDR.FEN'S ITRRARY Training School The training school, in which the newest and best in educational methods are exhibited daily in the classrooms, affords the students of this institution an oppor-tunity to acquire a practical knowledge of teaching. The school is made up of a kindergarten and eight grades, each of which is under the direction of a skillful teacher, a specialist in her line. Here students see the educational theories of today worked out in actual class room situations. SECOND GRADE AT WORK IN THEIR GARDEN One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 116 ---------- FIFTH GRADE SCIENCE LESSON Many interesting projects are carried out in connection with the school work of the children. The care of a garden by the lower grades has given many worth-while experiences to this group of children. Here they have watched the growth of their flowers and vegetables, cultivated them, and have done some work with the preparation of the vegetables for eating. The building of a post office by the second grade to be actually used by them, the making of a city representing Bellingham by the kindergarten, and the con-struction of a castle by the sixth graders out of the actual materials used in such a process, are typical of the activities carried on in the various rooms. EIGHTH GRADE BOYS DO SOME COOKING One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 117 ---------- THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM AS CONSTRUCTED BY THE PRE-PRIMARY Nature study becomes a living subject to these children through many out-of- door trips where they see the things that they discuss. The Science Department cooperates with the training department and, as a result, the children have the advantage of very worthwhile experiences in the scientific field. Twice yearly the eighth graders publish the Junior Viking. It contains original poems and stories, pictures, and records of the activities of the various grades. This publication gives valuable experience to those responsible for it and works as an incentive for the children of all grades in their language work. EIGHTH GRADE STUDY PERIOD One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 118 ---------- SIXTH GRADE ACTIVITY PERIOD The assemblies held every Friday morning form an important part of the training school life. The programs for these assemblies are not artificially arranged for an audience, but come as an outgrowth of the regular activities of the children. Each grade puts on one assembly during the quarter. GYM PERIOD FOR THE THIRD GRADE One IHundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1930 - Page 119 ---------- SEVENTH GRADE CURRENT EVENT SESSION The dramatization of "The Courtship of Miles Standish," a program of ballads, including the playing, reading, and singing of many of them, an hour of song with contributions from all of the grades, and a program in which the actual out-door play of the children was represented in rhythm work, are some of the interesting assembly features during this last year.

There dwelt men merry-hearted, and in hope ex-ceeding great Met the good days and the evil as they went the way of fates.

Tradition lies within her walls, where eager Youth Has fingered pages, studied, learned to share Another's woes; and, striving thus for all Life's truth Has left a bit of priceless beauty there. Our shaded campus walks, our well-loved velvet knoll- So many other hearts have loved them too, And though their names no longer answer to the roll We feel the peace that all those others knew. And we-on moonlight nights when forms in silhouette, Pace silvered walks; we know, though smiles turn tears, An echoed laugh, a touch, a smile we can't forget, Will linger in our hearts throughout the years.

H. Fisher President's Message This is the thirty-second year of the history of our school. Starting in a small way in 1899, the school has gradually expanded in buildings, equipment, students, faculty, and the quality of its work, until today it occupies a position of distinction among similar schools, not only on the Pacific coast but throughout the country. A capable, devoted, and friendly body of students and faculty sharing life together on a high plane of idealism are the embodiment of the purpose of the school. The many stu-dents who have gone out from the school to serve society, chiefly through teaching in the public schools, are the finest expression of the achieve-ments of the school. May this book, packed with beautiful memories of school life shared together, be an inspiration to all students, who join the long caravan of those who have gone before; to achieve, in the name of the idealism and the purpose of the school that they represent. C. H. FISHER Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 16 ---------- Dean Marquis Dean Bever Dean Jones Deans To the three Deans must go much of the credit for the pleasant asso-ciations which Bellingham Normal students have during their school life. Upon them depend many of the adjustments which students must make with their school environment. The three administrative officers are James Bever, dean of the school; Adele M. Jones, dean of women; and W. J. Marquis, dean of men. Difficulties arising from the arrangement of courses or the satisfac-tory completion of one of the curricula are adjusted in the office of the Dean of the school. To Dean Bever students may go with problems arising from their courses. Particularly helpful to the women students is the friendly counsel of Adele Jones, dean of women. In her the students have a friend of mature judgment and experience, who is ever willing to advise them on personal or school matters. Regulation of social functions also is taken care of by Miss Jones. W. J. Marquis handles the duties of adviser to the men of the school with unusual tact and skill. A deep insight into student psychology and an intimate acquaintance with the problems of school life make his counsel of extraordinary value to students. Through him, the problems of the men of the school are settled with unusual success. ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 17 ---------- Swanson Banner Fitcha Brigham Hughes Holland Buchanan O'Malley Tremain Bouck CHARLOTTE BRIGHAM Sec.

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

I'd like to be a sophomore, A girlish graduate, Because it leaves one's world of plans In a suspended state; To live just for the moment In that slowly marching stream; Oh, to be a Part of Beauty E're one wakens from the dream!

During the fall quarter a dance was built around the Oriental motif, with clever decorations de-signed by John James. The Freshman class united with the Sophomores in a joint picnic late in the spring quarter. With Colin Campbell, a freshman, as the newly selected student body president, members of the freshman class are anticipating an even more successful year when they fill the places left vacant by the outgoing Sophomores.

Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 63 ---------- The Northwest Viking was founded in 1900 under the name of the "Weekly Messenger." Since this early first appearance, it has been stead-ily improving, and especially in the last few years it has been winning a name for itself nationally. In the recent Columbia Press Association contest for the Normal and small college papers, the Northwest Viking, which is a member of this association, won first place ranking. Out of a possible one hundred points, the Viking scored eighty-three. The fall quarter editions were scored. The present editor, Bob Walters, was serving his initial quarter at this time and deserves much credit for his splendid work. Gordon W. Leen was serving his fourth and final quarter as business and advertising manager on the issues that were sent east. The score in this field was comparatively high and worthy of comment. In the section dealing with make-up and general appearance twenty-five credits were given. Out of these, the Viking was allowed eighteen. The Viking was awarded all but five points on news content. The three highest grades came from the use of good English, avoidance of sport slang, and the representation of varied activities in the columns. The editorial column rated well, receiving fourteen out of the fifteen point limit. The fact that the editorials dealt with specific situations, were related to news columns, and were constructive, made this judg-ment possible. The final scoring was on the basis of whether it gave a good im-pression of the school and performed the function of a school paper. In the division of the contest which Bellingham State Normal entered, there were approximately three hundred and fifty other schools. GETTING THE VIKING READY FOR PRESS Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 64 ---------- Publications PINK PISTOL This year for the first time, Bellingham Normal had a pub-lication which was in the class of college humor magazines-the Pink Pistol. It contained twenty-eight pages and twen-ty- two separate features-hu-morous short stories, plays, poems, and jokes, written by Normalites. It was published with the permission of the Board of Control, by Arden Ben-thein, Vernon V. Vine, and Stanley Hoveland, and much praise is to be given to these editors for making the maga-zine a success. Mr. James Car-rell was faculty adviser. FOOTBALL PROGRAM At the annual Homecoming game of October 25, very clever football programs were sold in assembly, in the main hall, and at the game, for souvenirs of the yearly tilt between Bellingham and Cheney. The booklet was shaped like a football. The four traditional colors of the two schools were used on the cover, and the pictures of the captains of the teams were worked into the cover in a novel way. Fol-lowing this blend of school pa-triotism, the reader was taken through thirty pages of engrav-ings of every member of the teams and their coaches, statis-tics, history and scores of past games, score cards and lineups. The Board of Control spon-sors this booklet, and lets the contract to students. Charles Gerold held the contract this year, and deserves much credit for the work he did. Sixty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 65 ---------- Publications BLUE BOOK The Blue book is one of the publications which is part of the Normal student's necessary equipment. It is a handbook, containing information on prac-tically every subject that would come under the head of a Nor-mal school, from Faculty through the Students' Associa-tion, down to songs and yells. Its information is of value to everyone throughout the year. These books are prepared under student direction and at student expense, and are distributed free at the beginning of Fall quarter by the Student's Association. SELF-STARTER The "Self-Starter" is a book-let published by the Standards Committee of the Women's League and is distributed to the entering women each fall. It is to the women what the Blue Book is to the entire school. It tells about the League, gives suggested wardrobes and ex-pense accounts, lists and ex-plains the house rules for orga-nized houses, and lists various social activities. In general, it is an excellent means for help-ing the new girls to become ac-quainted with Normal life. DIRECTORY The Student and Faculty Di-rectory is both a convenience and a necessity to every Nor-malite. It is a complete list of both faculty and students, giv- ing their respective addresses and telephone numbers. These directories were distributed free of charge in the bookstore at the beginning of Fall quarter. Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 66 ---------- Informals OUTSIDE INFORMALS The first Women's League Informal of the year for Outside Girls was given November 8, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Ho-tel Leopold. The pirate scheme of decoration was featured. The Outside Girls' Winter In-formal was in the form of a Cin-derella Ball, and was given in the Crystal Ballroom of the Ho-tel Leopold. A special feature in decorations was a huge Cinder-ella clock which chimed at reg-ular intervals. INSIDE INFORMAL "A glowing affair in a frigid setting" was a phrase used to describe the Inside Girls' Infor-mal which was given in Eden's Hall Blue Room, December 6. In keeping with its name of "Frosty Frolic," the room was decorated by icy and snowy Christmas trees and evergreen boughs and Eskimo furs and dogsleds, while pineapple sher-bert was served from within a great white igloo. MEN'S CLUB INFORMAL The only Men's Club dance of this year was given February 7, in the Crystal Ballroom. Music was supplied by Sam Rathman's "Varsity Vagabonds." W CLUB INFORMAL The Men's "W" Club Informal of November 21, in the Crystal Ballroom, took the place of the Men's Club Fall Informal, and was one of the most successful functions held throughout the year. Football idea predominat-ed in programs and intermis-sion novelties. Music was fur-nished by Sam Rathman. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 67 ---------- Socials FROSH PARTIES The first Freshman dance was given November 15, in the large gymnasium, and was ul-tra- modern in every detail. "Fu-turistic Frolic" was the central idea, with decorations and col-ored lights to lend "futurism" to the occasion. "Oriental Dance" sponsored by the Freshman class Febru-ary 6, was very clever and col-orful. A glistening "Buddha" in the midst of Japanese lanterns, cherry trees, weeping willows, and fragrant Chinese incense furnished the atmosphere. SOPHOMORE PARTIES The Sophomore class Fall party was given November 1. The party was in the form of a masquerade ball, using the gyp-sy idea-everyone attired in some form or suggestion of gyp-sy dress, and the gym was deco-rated with maple leaves, carry-ing out the idea of Autumn. With the Valentine idea pre-dominating, the Sophomores held their second dance party in the large gymnasium Febru-ary 14. The program and artis-tic decorations were the work of Earl Hutchins, general chairman. MIXERS Various mixers have been held throughout the year on the average of once a quarter, and the whole school gathers in the Big Gym for two hours of danc-ing in the evening. It is held for the purpose of introducing new students to old students and fac-ulty members. Sixty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 68 ---------- CAST FOR "TIlE PIGEON" The Pigeon John Galsworthy's most distinguished comedy, "The Pigeon," was the summer presentation of the Drama Club. With vivid symbolism, Gals-worthy brings upon the stage three derelicts: Ferrand, a young French vagabond; Timson, a besotted old cockney cab driver; Megan, a little flower girl of the city streets. What shall society do with these? The an-swer is suggested by Wellwyn, an artist; Sir Thomas Horton, a justice; Canon Bertley, a clergyman, and Professor Calloway, a social scientist. The story is a complete study of diverse personalities. For the first time in several quarters, Mr. V. H. Hoppe returned to the stage himself, as Wellwyn, around whom the play centers. Those who took part in the play are: CHRISTOPHER WELLWYN, an artist . . . ictor Hoppe ANN, his daughter Lou Griffin GUINEVERE MEGAN, a flower-seller . Mary MacDonald RORY -MEGAN, her husband Joe Harris FERRAND, an alien Charles Gerold TIMSON, once a cabman . . . . Charles Dewey EDWARD BERTLEY, a Canon John Rajala ALFRED CALLOWAY, a Professor .

"The pathetic case of a hen pecked husband" such is the theme of this modern Winter's Tale. The story happens all in one bitterly, cold winter evening from six until midnight. In this very short lapse of time many en- tertainingly humorous incidents occur in the Bumstead home. The drama is a study of matrimonial unhappiness and mismating tuned to the pitch of delightful character comedy. The local drama club secured one of the first amateur releases of this play. The members of the cast are as follows: JENNY BUMSTEAD MYRA BUMSTEAD MABEL BUMSTEAD ELAINE BUMSTEAD CYRUs BUMSTEAD BILL CLARK SAM GREEN REV. DR. STUMP A STRANGER QtUINN Florence Dofsen Maybelle Graham Filene Morrison Marion Bodiker John L. James Robert Wiedman Karl Decker Colin Campbell Albert Brown Conrad Bentzen Sirty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 70 ---------- CAST FOR "THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE" The Devil's Disciple The presentation of the "Devil's Disciple," a satire of the American revolution, was the first of George Bernard Shaw's plays to be given by the Normal Drama Club. Richard Dudgeon, the Devil's Disciple, revolts from the strict, puritanic ideals of his parents and as a result is consider-ed a wicked and godless individual. In this play the author carries no po-litical thesis, but is more interested in showing the psychology of charac-ter. The new settings, new lighting effects, costumes, together with much swift action and an involved plot made the play very interesting, while the manner in which it was produced was well up to the standards of the Drama Club's offerings. The historical characters were portrayed in a creditable manner by the following cast: MRs.

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

The concerts are held under the auspices of the Bellingham Women's Music Club and the Normal School. They have been well supported during the season. The series was fittingly opened with the presentation of Corneluis Van Vliet, Dutch cello virtuosa. Mr. Van Vliet is favorably remembered by those who heard him when he appeared at an assembly last year. Cello soloists are rarities and Mr. Van Vliet is the first artist of this particular instrument ever to be presented in concert in Bellingham. He was ac-companied at the piano by Miss Edith R. Strange. At the following concert November 17, Ethel Bartlett and Rae Rob-ertson were presented in a recital of music for two pianos. The feeling for interpretation was such by these two artists that it sounded as though only one person was playing. Both artists have a splendid reputation in Europe and are making a name for themselves in the United States as piano recitalists. Marion Anderson, gifted young colored singer, was presented in con-cert, January 7. Miss Anderson is acclaimed as possessing one of the great contralto voices of our generation. It has enormous range and rich throaty timbre. Her varied program was well calculated to show the un-usual scope, the splendid flexibility, the power, and the rare beauty of her voice. Both diction and enunciation were admirable. Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 73 ---------- The celebrated lyric soprano, Claire Dux, appeared March 13, capti-vating her audience by the ease and skill with which she reached the high, difficult notes. The noted artist thoroughly delighted local music lovers with her unique art and charmingly obliged her listeners with sev-eral encores. She is of Polish nationality. Her debut was made at the Royal Opera in Berlin with Enrico Caruso. She has often sung for Euro-pean royalty and triumphed here in the United States with the Chicago Civic Opera Company. With Albert Spalding's appearance on the evening of April 9, the Musical Artists' Course closed for the season. This concert was a memor-able finale for the series. Spalding is acknowledged as one of America's great violinists. Accompanied by Andre Benoist, the violinist presented a varied program of classical selections. He displayed remarkably fine technique and ease of interpretation. Spalding's appearance here was received by a warm and enthusiastic audience. He is not only highly praised in America, but has a larger following in Europe than any other American artist. Assemblies Lectures, musical recitals, drama, and student body activities con-tributed to the wide variety of programs in the assemblies. The students of the Normal are fortunate in hearing many noted artists and lecturers within their own school through the efforts of the school officials to bring to them only those who are most worthwhile. Among the many musical programs, those especially deserving of mention are Ethel Leuning, gifted lyric soprano who has achieved wide-spread fame; Valeria Post, young operatic and concert soprano, who delighted her listeners by presenting "bits of opera" from various lands. The Neak- Kah-Nie String Quartet offered an outstanding performance. Three noted pianists, Katherine Bacon, Margaret Hamilton from New York, and Susie Michael, Western pianist, appeared in very commendable recitals during the year. A violinist of national fame, Viola Wasterlain, made a most favorable impression with her audience. In the group of lecturers came Stoddard King, poet and philosopher, who entertained his audience with rhymes that he, himself had written. William Finley as he presented "Wild Animal Outposts" was one of the most interesting, educational and unusual of assemblies enjoyed by the students this year. Muriel Draper, New York author and lecturer, spoke on "A New Philosophy for a New Age." Miss Draper, who showed a won-derful command of language, described as foolish much of today's psy-chology and scoffed at the cataloguing and cross-sectioning of so called artists. V. L. Granville, famous English actor gave a dramatic recital, "Dramatic Interludes," which was an unusual treat. Mr. Granville com-bines the facility of a quick change artist with genuine dramatic power. Aided by impressionistic lighting, he donned and divested himself of roles with ease. A series of lectures on music appreciation were conducted by Harold B. Smith, head of the music department, and were of value to the students in assisting them to appreciate the musical programs and concerts during the year. A number of one act plays presented in assembly by the Play Production Class were always popular with the student body. "The Christmas Story," given in tableaux and pantomime by the Normal Training Department was of much interest. The beautiful scenes and the Christmas songs gave the students the real significance of Christ-mas. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 74 ---------- Extemporaneous Contest The purpose of the extemporaneous contest has been to encourage public speaking in the school and to aid the students to appreciate clear, interest-ing speaking. The extemporaneous con-tests originated in 1926-1927 and since that time have been a yearly event. Any student who so desires is eligible to en-ter the contest. He may choose his own subject from an approved list on which he prepares a five minute talk. In the preliminaries six speakers are selected who appear before the assembly. The two speakers ranking highest from this group have the right to compete with the two winners from each quarter in the finals at the end of the year. The winner of the finals has the honor of having his name engraved on the silver loving cup, of which he becomes cus- todian for the following year. Quentin Quick was judged winner of the final extemporaneous contest held last June 3. Helen Fitzwater and Louise Lilienthal tied for second place. Mr. Quick's topic was "The Hardest Job in the United States." Helen Fitzwater spoke on "This Modern Boredom" and Louise Lilienthal on "Let the Eagle Scream." Other contestants and their topics were: Eleanore Langworthy, "Cannon Fodder"; Charles Gerold, "Hysteria of War," and Bertha Altose, "Why Have Human Static?" Mr. Quick was the first man to re- Quentin Quick ceive this honor, the former winners all being women students. The winners of the cup for the preceding years were June Wetherell, 1927; Margaret Hill, 1928, and Joy Efteland, 1929. The extemporaneous contest has greatly stimulated public speaking in the school and the current topics help give a new viewpoint on prob-lems of national interest. This year the three preliminary contests have been eliminated and the finals will be held at the end of spring quarter. Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 75 ---------- Debate The heaviest schedule ever attempt-ed by the Normal debaters was carried out during this year's debate season. Teams which were new on the Belling-ham schedule were Pacific University, Oregon State College and Linfield Col-lege. No tryouts were held this year, but the candidates were enrolled in a de-bate class which made them eligible for any inter-collegiate contest. This sys-tem, which is gaining favor throughout colleges and universities, eliminates the unsatisfactory aspect of the tryout sys-tem and substitutes a method by which the speaker may be judged over a pe-riod of time. Another innovation this year was the abandonment of the old type of debate and the substitution of the cross-exam-ination and no decision debates, this being the first time that the policy of cross- examination has been adopted. Another chief feature of this season's debate was the men's debate tour into Oregon, the first of its kind ever under-taken by the Normal teams. "Resolved that the United States should adopt a policy of free trade," was the question selected for debate by the Normal and by other colleges throughout the country. Those representing the Normal School in interscholastic debates were: Men's affirmative team, James Butler, Roger Reed, and Charles Gerold; Men's Butler Stephens negative team, Quentin Quick and Or- hom pson Quick Reid Taylor vin Ryan; Women's affirmative team, Wessler Gerold Bessie Taylor, Marie Wessler, and Ma- Carrell Langworthy rion Stephens; Women's negative team, Eleanore Langworthy, Esther Schindler, and Lois Thompson. The following schools were debated by the men's teams: College of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran College, University of Washington fresh-men, Centralia Junior College, Oregon State College, Linfield College. The women's teams debated: College of Puget Sound, Washington State College, Pacific Lutheran College, University of Washington, and Centralia Junior College.

It has been the custom for a number of years for the Women's League to present to the organized houses a banner of achievement for the best record obtained in scholarhip and a banner for accomplishment. In the Fall Quarter the scholarship banner was award-ed to Moutz's House and the accomplishment banner was presented to Barrett's House. In the Winter Quarter the scholarship banner was pre-sented to Barrett's House and again McCullum's House received the accomplishment banner. These awards tend to keep a higher standing in scholarly achievement in the various organized houses which is a benefit to the school at large.

In the rural and city systems teachers are subsidized to direct student teachers and supervisors are maintained. During the fall, winter and spring quarters from one hundred and twenty to one hun-dred and fifty students taught in the city schools in addition to fifty who taught in the rural schools, receiving valuable experience in meeting the problems of actual situations, such as they will find in the schools where they secure positions. Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 96 ---------- KNIGHTHOOD-A SIXTH GRADE ASSEMBLY FOURTH GRADE WORK PERIOD Specialists in technique prepare students for their work, while well trained teachers and supervisors direct student instructors as well as the children in the classroom. Free texts and an ample amount of supple-mentary reading and the necessary schoolroom furnishings are supplied. A children's reading room, equipped with reference books in connection with the circulation library, afford an opportunity for a background of reading. The Normal School departments of music, art, science, health, industrial arts, physical education and home economics are at the service of the Training School. For example, the art department gives the chil-dren artistic instruction. The other departments also co-operate in a like manner, making the elementary school the co-ordinating center for the theory and practice of all of the so-called "special subjects." N inety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 97 ---------- THIRD GRADE WOOL STUDY MODEL AIRPLANE BUILDERS Aside from the regular schedule, projects are worked out in the dif-ferent divisions. This year the kindergarten had as one of its projects the care of gardens in a plot adjacent to the building. Enough flowers have been planted by the children to supply the whole training school with flowers in the fall. Teas were held during the year by pupils of the upper division. A silver tea, given by the Service Club of the eighth grade, raised money for the Red Cross fund. A Chinese tea given by the seventh grade came as a conclusion to their study of China. The children were in costume and Chinese atmosphere was created throughout. The mothers and stu-dent teachers were guests at the tea. Ninety-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 98 ---------- ELBONITA GARDEN STUDY KINDERGARTEN WORK PERIOD Every Friday, the elementary school assembly is held, each grade taking its turn at presenting a program. These programs, which accus-tom the pupils to appearing on the stage and to expressing themselves before an audience, are an outgrowth of classroom work. An assembly, in the seventh grade representing the countries of the world through cos-tumes, folk songs and dances and a flag decorated stage, is an example of the type of thing being done. The Hour of Song provides the program for one of the spring assem-blies, in which the children of the entire training school sing the songs which they have learned during the year. It is a climax to the work done by the music department. Ninety-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 99 ---------- TEN MILE SCHOOL SIXTH GRADE TUMBLING CLASS In the Junior Viking, the training school paper, which is published twice yearly, compositions, poems, essays and stories which members of the Training School have written are printed. Activities in which they have engaged are written and published in it. The children look for-ward to its publication and work with interest to have their literary efforts published. As a culmination of the work done in physical education, comes Play Day, truly the elementary school's day of play. This year the stu-dents of the rural schools were invited to join the children of the train-ing school.

Coach Gunn Coaching Staff The success of any athletic team depends to a great extent upon the coaching staff. A tremendous responsibility is placed upon the staff, whose function is to guide the athletic interests of the school. The Bel-lingham Normal School may well be proud of the two men heading its athletic department. Coach Sam E. Carver directs activities on the football field, basket-ball floor, track and tennis courts. A clever coach, Mr. Carver has worked with men and athletics his entire life. Attending the University of Oregon, California and making a special study of coaching at Leland Stanford University, the Viking mentor is well versed in the art of phy-sical education. Royal E. Gunn, his assistant and head baseball coach, is also an able leader and coach. He is efficient in securing the unanimous co-operation of the men striving with him to develop teams representative of the school. He has had much experience in athletics, and both he and Coach Carver have produced many championship teams during the period of their leadership of competitive athletics at the Normal school.

Nov. 7-Bellingham at College of Puget Sound. Nov. 15-Bellingham at Ellensburg. This year's Viking team was built around a nucleus of seven veterans. Flowers, Shelton, Wilder and Iver-son were the experienced backs and Voris, Quick and Moe completed the list as linemen. Other cogs in Coach Carver's ma-chine, who saw regular action dur-ing the season were: Burich, Eac-rett, Swanson, and Brinkman in the backfield; and Blanton, McNeil, Hopkins, Falkner, Sutton, Abbott, Thompson and Campbell. Viking vs. Coast Guard Staging a brilliant rally late in the second half of the game, Coach Sam Carver's 1930 football team dropped its first opponent of the year, the Port Townsend Coast Guard, 14-6. Captain Wilder Quick Flowers One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 103 ---------- Rated as the underdogs, the Navy held the Vikings scoreless the first period. In the second period the Vik-ing team, befuddled by the ground-gaining smashes of Allerdice and Cable, Navy backs, was caught nap-ping near its goal-line when Aller-dice completed the ancient blanket pass to Frodle for a touchdown. The Coast Guard led 6-0 at the half time. Opening the second half the Vik-ings began to fathom the offensive tactics of the Guardsmen and stopped dead any attempts in that direction. Late in the second period Shelton, Normal back, intercepted a pass and advanced to mid-field. Then followed a march down the field that did not terminate until Burich slipped over for a touchdown and then converted to place the Vikings in the lead. The Carverites did not score again until but a few seconds of the game remained when Flowers, star half of the Viking team, crossed the Navy line for a touchdown. Shelton con-verted, ending the scoring for the day at 14-6, and giving the Vikings a victory in their initial game of the season. Vikings vs. Oregon State Normal Playing their first game in a light-ed stadium, the Bellingham Vikings dropped their second start of the sea-son to the Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth, 26-0. Oregon staged an effective offense, well seasoned with trick plays which entirely baffled the Vikings during the first half. Early in the game Brinkman McNeill Shelton One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 104 ---------- Monmouth pulled a sneak play which resulted in a touchdown. This start-ed the fireworks for the Oregon team and it scored repeatedly during the first and second quarters. Each touchdown came as the direct result of a spin or other deceptive play. The half ended 20-0 for the Oregonians. As in the Navy game the week be-fore, the Vikings were unable to hit their stride until the second half. The Normal team was scored upon but once during the second half, the touchdown coming as the result of a blocked Washington kick. Besides holding its tricky opponents to six points, the Viking offensive machine wrecked havoc with the Oregon de-fense in the third and last quarters. Headed by Flowers and Iverson, the Vikings advanced no less than three times within the ten yard marker, but lacked the necessary punch to score. Vikings vs. St. Martins A strong, heavy team coupled with a smooth working Notre Dame of-fense spelled defeat for the Vikings, 13-2, when they tackled St. Martins College on Waldo field. Although outweighed and out-classed in nearly every department of the game, the Vikings offered a stubborn resistance and threatened to score on the heavy, fast Rangers several times. Using the Notre Dame shift to per-fection, the Laceyites circled the Blue and White end for touchdowns in the second and third quarters. Im- Moe Iverson Thompson One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 105 ---------- hoff and Johannes looked very good for the visitors. Early in the last quarter Burich and Flowers, Viking backs, advanced the ball to the visitor's two yard line. The Rangers held for downs and on the next play their punt was blocked behind the goal-line, giving the Car-verites two points and their only score of the day. Before the fray ended the Vikings had valiantly marched half the length of the field to within their opponent's ten yard line and marked themselves as one of the scrappiest, gamest teams that ever donned the moleskins for the Bellingham Nor-mal. Vikings vs. Cheney Caught off their guard by a fast breaking criss-cross, the Vikings were administered a 19 to 0 defeat by Cheney on Waldo field in the eighth annual football game between the two schools. The game was the main attraction of the Homecoming program. In the opening quarter the Vik-ings took the ball after holding Cheney for downs on the five yard line. A poor kick by Bellingham and two neatly executed passes brought the Savages their first score. Morgan, the stellar back for the Savages, broke away for an end run to the Vikings four yard line, and on the next play toted the ball over for the second score. By making the ex-tra point, Cheney led the Vikings 1.3-0 in the first quarter. Sutton Burich Abbott One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 106 ---------- Cheney's final touchdown was made in the last period through a nice combination of power and trick plays. This evened the series between the two schools, each having won four games. Vikings vs. Centralia Junior College Entering the game with a deter-mined spirit and breaking open a new bag of tricks, the Vikings wal-loped a fighting band of gridsters from the Centralia Junior College, 20-7. The game produced the flash-iest football the Vikings have played this season. Both teams used a snappy style of game which featured trick passes long punts and some brilliant run-ning, making the game more of a duel than the score indicated. Coach Carver's machine did to Centralia what Cheney did to the Vikings the week before-ran up two touchdowns in the first half to estab-lish a lead which could not be broken down. Early in the second quarter, by means of end runs and flashy line plunges, Iverson and Flowers carried the ball to the five yard line. On the next play, Captain Wilder smashed through for the first score. In the same quarter, Flowers broke through along the sidelines and dashed 60 yards for another touchdown. Wilder grabbed a blocked kick and packed the pigskin eight yards for Falkner Irby Eacrett One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 107 ---------- the Vikings' final score, in the third period. The only Centralia touchdown came as a result of a clever alterna-tion of power plays and aerial work late in the final quarter. Vikings vs. College of Puget Sound Conceded absolutely no chance against the strong College of Puget Sound team, the Vikings knocked the dope bucket sky-high by holding their highly touted rivals to a score-less tie. It was a hard fought game with the Vikings given no chance against the big Red and White team. The Vikings, however, gave the team its biggest scare of the season. Early in the opening quarter Coach Carver's men advanced within the Logger ten yard mark, but were unable to score. During the entire quarter the ball see-sawed back and forth in the Tacoma team's territory. Just before the half terminated, the loggers launched a terrific offensive drive which was stopped only by sheer Viking stubborness on their one foot line. During the third period both teams threatened to score, but were unable to cross the goal-line. As the game drew to a close, the Viking offensive machine led by Iverson, Flowers, and Wilder passed and smashed to the seven yard line when the game end-ed, blocking a golden opportunity for the Blue and White team to score. Campbell Voris Collier One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 108 ---------- FOOTBALL MANAGERS Shaffer Osborne Vikings vs. Ellensburg Playing a spectacular brand of football on a slippery, snow covered field, the Ellensburg Wildcats crushed the Bellingham gridders 26-0. Rodeo field was the scene of the battle which gave Ellensburg another Tri-Normal football championship. The initial period was taken up with punts and a few plays. Each team failed to gain yardage and the period closed without a score. Recovering an Ellensburg fumble in the second quarter, the Vikings took the ball down the field to the ten yard line, but could not drive through for the touchdown. On a combination of end runs and line smashes, the Wildcats carried the pigskin down the field for the only score of the half. The game seemed to drag during the third quarter, with neither team making gains of consequence. However, in the final period the Wildcats hit their stride and on consistent long runs, piled up three touchdowns for their 26-0 victory. VIKINGS IN ACTION One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 109 ---------- Dixon Thorsen Flowers Rork Basketball Resume With Dixon, Thorsen and Rork as a nucleus for Coach Carver's bas-ketball machine, and Campbell, Flowers, Shelton, Skotheim, Sherman, Abbott, and later in the season, Clark and Comfort, the Viking mentor developed a successful aggregation. Although their record was not im-pressive, the Vikings played heady, fast basketball through the entire season and lost only to remarkably strong teams. The Viking hoopsters started the season by swamping Centralia Ju- nior College. The following week, led by Rork and Thorsen, the hilltop team dropped St. Martins in one of the roughest games of the year. The Carverites hit a decided slump and were trounced by Ellensburg and Cheney in the first Tri-Normal competition. The lone game was taken from St. Michaels College at Yakima. The Cheney Savages nosed the Vikings out in a close game with Dixon, Rork and Abbott starring. In the following game the U. of W. Frosh took them into camp. The next night at Tacoma, the Vikings staged a strong finish to nose out the College of Puget Sound. Coming back home the Vikings were defeated by the Ellensburg Wildcats. The following week the Viking hoopsters came through with the biggest thrill of the season by holding the mighty U. of W. Frosh ma-chine to a ten point lead. Skotheim Sherman Thorsen One Hundred Nine Abbott ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 110 ---------- VARSITY Sherman, Thorsen, Coach Carver, Clarke, Dixon Abbott, Skotheim, Flowers, Shelton, Nyberg Then Coach Carver and his men split a two game series with St. Martins and Centralia Junior College on their floors, with the Vikings dropping the games with the Junior College. In the final game of the season, the College of Puget Sound took the game by holding the Vikings well nigh scoreless. Super Varsity With eight victories and three losses to their record of the season, the Supers finished high in the class "A" City League. The team played consistent basketball throughout the season and developed some promis-ing material for Coach Carver's first squad next year. VIKINGS VS. BLAINE One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 111 ---------- JUNIOR VARSITY A. Brown, Murray, Coach Gunn, Carboneau, Gissberg Nichols, Hayes, Comfort Junior Varsity The Junior Varsity under the direction of Coach "Pop" Gunn com-pleted a successful season by winning twelve games out of sixteen, and finishing third in the class "B" City League. Intra- mural The Philometheans proved themselves intra-mural basketball cham-pions by handing the Men's Club a brace of defeats in the first two games of title play-off. PHILOMETHEAN Bushby, Thompson, Divird, Wilder, J. Brown One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 112 ---------- Dixon J. McCleery Leatha Baseball Resume Led by six lettermen, the Viking baseball squad, under the tutor-ship of Coach "Pop" Gunn, started training indoors early in March. Captain Thorsen, first base; Iverson, pitcher; Hugh McCleery, catcher; Dixon, center field; Gravrock, left field, and Jim McCleery, right field, were the veterans reporting. New men out for places were Gallenger, Anson, Nichols, and Com- fort, third base; Abbott and Blanton, shortstop; Campbell, Miracle, Ny-berg and Newquist, second base; Rockey, first base; Leaden and Clark, catchers, and Blomberg, Carter, Gissberg, Irby, Wooten, Haggard, George, Smith, Thompson and Thorpe, outfielders. Moultray and Leatha turned out for pitching positions. With Iver-son, a veteran right hander turning out, this department seemed to be a little stronger than last year's. Comfort H. McCleery Thorsen One Huncdred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 113 ---------- Abbott Iverson Gravrock Early season rains played havoc with turnout, but with better weath-er in the middle of April the team gradually took shape as a contender. All in all, this year's team looks better than last year's. The material has been sifted and some of the men have shown up stronger than others. H. McCleery and Leaden are expected to do most of the receiving. Iverson, Leatha and Blanton will pitch. Thorsen is on first, Campbell on second, Abbott short, and Comfort is holding down third. John Dixon, Jim McCleery and Wooten, a new man from Whitman, are in the outfield. St. Martins College furnished the first opposition for the Vikings. Coach Gunn's diamond artists showed plenty of strength but lost, 4-5. The remainder of the games included tilts with College of Puget Sound, U. of W. Frosh, and several practice games. Leaden Campbell Wooten One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 114 ---------- Flowers Duyff Davis Jones Track Resume Welcomed by ten letter winners and a very promising array of green material, Coach Carver expressed high hopes of producing a successful and outstanding team for the 1931 track and field season. Well fortified in the distance and middle-distance events, and with great expectations of a conference record in the mile and 880, and per-haps a near record performance in the 440, the Vikings had hopes of roll-ing up a big share of the Blue and White score in these events. In the sprints and hurdles the Frosh stepped out, displaying their ability to the satisfaction of everyone. Very strong in the jumps and pole vault, the Viking entrants made up for a slight, early season weakness in the weights, which was expected to be remedied as the season progressed. In their first meet of the season, the Bellingham mentor sent on the field a promising looking squad of tracksters who downed their ancient rivals, the College of Puget Sound, 69-61. The meet was featured with excellent time in the distance events, hurdles and good marks in the jumps. Other meets in which the Vikings were to enter was a dual affair with the U. of W. Frosh and, closing the season, the Tri-Normal meet with Cheney and Ellensburg Normal Schools.

One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 117 ---------- Hedger, Berenstein, Irby, Fresk, Gable, Houghton, Gissberg, Rork Tennis Through means of a ladder tournament eight men have championed their way to gain recognition on the Viking tennis squad. The Viking hopes this year are centered around Jim Rork, the only veteran to report this season. Rork is present holder of the Tri-Normal championship in the singles, and shares with a former Viking the honors for winner of the Tri-Normal doubles. Two of Rork's promising assistants are Hedger and Berenstein, both former prep team-mates of Rork. All three of these men are smooth, consistent players, and are Normal's leading contenders for inter-colle-giate competition. This trio, and Roland Gissberg, have been chosen to meet with the College of Puget Sound racqueters at Tacoma on May 2. Other competitiors on the squad who may see action in meets this year are: Houghton, Fresk, Gable and Irby. On May 5, the Vikings visited Mount Vernon Junior College for the second match of the season and on May 12, the Mount Vernon team played a return match in Bellingham. The College of Puget Sound ag-gregation journeyed to Bellingham on May 16, to repay their match. The Vikings defenden their Tri-Normal championship titles at Ellens-burg, May 23. One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 118 ---------- Weythman Horton George Jewell Women's Athletics Under the skillful directions of the coaches, women's athletics scored another successful year. Ruth Weythman, head of the physical education department for women deserves much credit for the success of girls' sports. She made a trip to Spokane in April to attend a meeting of the Inland Empire Educa-tional Association, where she acquired much new information concern-ing the teaching of physical education. Mildred Jewell, in addition to coaching various sports, directed a dance recital which was the outgrowth of the girls' interest in natural dancing. Mass effects and solo numbers, both were featured in the fes-tival given on May 7. Marjory Horton introduced the sport of horse-back riding into the extra-curricula activities. This proved to be a popular diversion for girls aspiring to honors as equestriennes. Miss Lillian George again directed hiking activities and started the "breakfast-hikes" which were an enjoyable feature of the outings. SWEATER WINNERS Wiberg, Bresnan, Smith, Petersen, Williams One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 119 ---------- Badminton Natural Dancing Sport Resume Sports have become a very vital part of the feminine activities of the school. Almost every girl participates in some type of sport during her Normal career. Among the athletics in which the women may indulge are: hockey, soccer, basketball, volley ball, badminton, serve us ball, tennis, golf, handball, swimming, archery, baseball, and hiking. Every girl who turns out for any one or all of these sports has gained something aside from the mere action required in playing the game. She has acquired an understanding of co-operation, a spirit of fair play, and a respect for the rights of others which can only be gained by contact with others in a congenial atmosphere. Sportsmanship is the goal for which each girl is striving. Leadership is another trait which finds ex-pression and may be developed during turnouts. Hockey Turnout Baseball Practice One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 120 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Klinski, Meredith, Sleasman, Harris, Hall Swick, Zaddack, Petersen, Burke Wirsing, DeWitt, Tarbox, Ordal Wiberg, Thompson, Waham Soccer Since its introduction into the sports program of the Women's Athletic Association in 1926, soc-cer has been a popular activity with the girls. Although there is much hard and intensive effort necessary to play the game, all those who turn out for the sport enjoy it. Drib-bling, kicking, blocking, passing, and teamwork are a few of the es- sential techniques the girls work hard to acquire. The ultimate goal of each par-ticipant is a place on the All-Star team. An intermediate step, how-ever, is the membership on either the Sophomore or the Freshman class team. Qualifications neces-sary to make these teams are: sportsmanship, teamwork, and all around good playing. In order to make the All-Star squad one must have these attributes to the nth degree. Even though the elements seem-ed ranged against them and rain, wind, and mud appeared to hold sway over the field most of the season, a large group of girls turn-ed out faithfully each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Miss Marjo-ry Horton coached the sport. In addition to playing the regu-lar intra-mural games the girls' team of the Normal school met and defeated the All-Star team of the Training School. The All- Stars, coached by Flash Dixon and Ginny Carboneau, accepted the challenge made by the Normal Girls to prove which was the stronger team. It was decided that the winner of two out of three games should be the champion. The final decisive battle was fought on Armistice day. It was a hard, fast game played on a mud-dy field. The girls won the contest with the final score of 6 to 0. One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 121 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Tarbox, De Witt, Carmichael, Price, Meredith Zaddack, Burke, Petersen, Williams Hall, Grue, Harris, Top, Greaves, Klinski Swick, Waham, Wiberg, Bresnan Hockey "Where is my pet stick? I want a shin guard. Whee! Watch my speed today!" were some of the cries heard in the large gymna-sium last fall quarter as the fresh-men and sophomore girls prepared for hockey practice. Much interest was manifest in this outdoor sport. Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon a large group under Miss Mildred Jewell, coach, turned out on Waldo field for this excit-ing and comparatively new wom-en's sport to be fostered here at Normal. Speed and quick thinking were the essentials in the Waldo "sea of mud" and fully a score of energetic and wide-awake girls participated loyally throughout the quarter. Hockey one, hockey two, hockey three and they were off flashing (or brandishing) clubs, dribbling, passing, and making a rush for the goal. To the spectator there was unusual speed displayed in pass-ing the ball from one end of the playing field to the other. Every-one within the radius of the tilt was keyed up from the time of the first whistle to the end of the game. Co-operation and team work were factors which made the hoc-key season a successful one. Of course these forces are necessary in any team game, but especially so in hockey. Although there were often made-up teams for variety's sake, the more important teams were the Shindigs and Rinkeydinks. An All-Star team was picked by the coach and class letters were awarded to those who placed on it. One Hundred Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 122 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Wirsing, Grue, Top, Glenn Smith, Petersen, Wiberg Dotson, Tarbox, Shudshift Waham, Stickle Basketball Basketball is the most popular of all winter sports with the wom- en as well as with the men. Al-though there are no inter-colle-giate games as in the case of the men, there is still just as much vital interest in the sport. Under the skillful direction of the coach, Miss Mildred Jewell, the basketball turnouts developed some good fast players of the ever-fascinating game. Much practice was necessary, of course on drib-bling, passing, shooting, and guarding before even a semblance of a team could be considered. However, the girls appeared regularly each Monday and Wed-nesday afternoon and after much drill on the technique of the game it was possible to choose Sopho-more and Freshmen teams by the last half of the quarter. In addition to displaying their development of the skills required in basketball, the girls also dis-played much co-operation and teamwork in the intra-mural games. A special feature of the Wom-en's basketball season this year was the hoop league which con-sists of teams sponsored by vari-ous clubs and institutions of the school. Teams were entered in this league from Edens Hall, the Thes-pian Club, the Vanadis Bragi, and Outside girls. By the process of elimination the entrants were finally narrow-ed down to the Thespian and Out-side girls' teams. It was a fast game, exciting from the time the first whistle blew until the end of the game. The Outside girls were the league winners. Everyone who participated in or observed the basketball games this year declared that they rep-resented a very successful cage season. One Hundred Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 123 ---------- BADMINTON VOLLEYBALL Hall, Fladebo, Wiberg, Rankin Sinnes, F. Nelson, Grue, Top, Williams, Hennings Guernsey, Shudshift, Bresnan Lundberg, Fladebo, Bresnan, Greaves Badminton Recently introduced into the sports calendar, badminton has since become a popular winter quarter sport with the Normal women. Originally an English game, it has been adopted by the United States in the last few years. This game is very similar to the favorite American game of tennis. Both the technique of playing and the scorekeeping are identical with that of the other net game. However, the equipment is differ-ent than tennis. The player uses a long handled racket to bat a feath-er shuttle cock over the net to the opponent. A large group of girls appeared at the badminton practices which were held on Tuesday and Thurs-day afternoons. Because of this large turnout Miss Marjory Hor-ton was forced to pick six teams, including both singles and dou-bles. A tourney was held and the winners of the matches were placed on the class teams. Volleyball Pep and enthusiasm were the keynotes of the volley ball season this year. The turnouts were large in comparison with that of past years, although they were not as large as in other sports. Coached by Miss Mildred Jew-ell, the girls learned the essentials of the game and an appreciation of its educational and social val-ues. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon found the girls in the large gymnasium working out the techniques of the sport or actually playing it. According to all the predictions it was expected that the Sopho-mores would carry away all the honors in the inter-class games. However, the playing of the Freshmen showed marked con-trast to that of the Sophomores. With the winning of two out of three games the Freshmen were declared the winners of the cham-pionship.

Thompson Serve Us Ball Serve us ball is a sport not only of interest to Normal students, but to students in the training school. For those in the training school the game is simplified, but much interest is nevertheless displayed toward it. This sport was coached by Miss Mildred Jewell and turnouts were held for Normal girls on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. From the ranks of the Fresh- men much good material was found for a team. There was a large group of them working hard to learn the game and to earn a place on the team. The Sophomore women athletes did not turn out as well, but those who appeared were good material for a class team. In spite of the scarcity of Sopho-mores, two teams were chosen and several intra-mural games were played. Swimming An ever popular activity with girl athletes of the Bellingham Normal is swimming, which is coached by Miss Marjory Horton. Although no Helene Madisons were discovered among those who turned out, two teams were chosen and several aquatic meets staged at the Y. W. C. A. tank. The sophomores, because of their experience, had the edge on the freshmen this year, but much of the new material showed prom-ise for the team next year. Unlike past seasons, there were no meets scheduled with other col-leges in the state and only intra-mural competition filled the aquatic world. The regular Thursday evening splash hour proved as popular this year as in previous years. The Y. W. C. A. pool was full each Thurs-day evening with aspiring mer-maids from the Normal. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 125 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Rankin, Howell, Neal, Top, Ahern, Greaves, Hall Wiberg, V. Smith, Ward, Burke, Petersen, Zaddack, Shudshift, Carmichael, De Witt, Dotson, Meredith, Harris, Tarbox M. Thompson G. Smith, Bresnan, L. Thompson, Wirsing, Sleasman Waham Speedball The fast-moving, highly orga-nized game called speedball seems to be an intriguing one for many of the Normal girls. The combina-tion of football, basketball, soccer, and even baseball makes this the most complicated and speedy of all the games on the feminine sport calendar. Mental and physical alertness are necessary in playing this game. It is impossible for a slow-moving, slow-thinking individual to compete in this active sport. Girls must be fast-thinking and fast-moving to truly play the game. Teamwork and co-operation are of supreme importance. No one for the good of the team can play as an individual, but must play only as a cog in the machine which is the speedball team. Freshmen and sophomore teams for the intra-mural games have not yet been chosen. However, with such a large group of girls turning out it should be quite easy to pick fast, smooth running teams from both the first and second year competitors. Speedball is a new sport on the list of women's athletics. Put on the sport schedule recently it has become one of the most popular games with the women. Under the direction of Miss Marjory Horton, turnouts are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. A large group of girls appear regularly for work and play at this time. One Hundred Twenty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 126 ---------- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Northen, Lindh, Mahnche, Rose, D. Williams, Fladebo Dever, May, Hunt, Armstrong, Towner, Robb, Taylor, McLain, Cryer, Guernsey, Glenn Deighton, Koski Archery With Greenwood Forest, alias Sehome Hill, as a background and Robin Hood, nee Miss Mildred Jewell as director, the Merry Women of the Normal school are fast becoming proficient archers. "Practice makes perfect" ac-cording to the old adage and the Viqueen archers practice faithful-ly and diligently each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon in an attempt to reach the perfect stage. Some of those who are turning out for the sport are all ready quite accurate and hit the bull's eye a fair number of times. Others are learning control and marks-manship very rapidly and each day finds an improvement on the score of the previous one. Later in the season, archery teams will be formed from the Sophomore and Freshman aspi-rants. In order to do this a ladder tournament will be staged and those who reach the higher rungs of the ladder will place on the teams. Golf "Oh, the dirty little pill Went rolling down the hill And rolled right into the water." Such is the theme song of the girls who turn out for golf, as they trudge mile after weary mile in pursuit of the "dirty little pill" which bounds nonchalantly over the beautiful green fairway. Directed by Mr. Charles Con-don, professional at the Lakeway Golf and Country Club, golf is the popular sport of many girls who turn out in an effort to learn the game. Even the well- known miniature golf does not detract from the in-terest and attention which the girls expend on the sport. Swings, strokes, stances and all the finer techniques of the game made fam-ous by Bobby Jones, are of vital interest to every one who is turn-ing out. Those who are turning out for the sport are: Iola Grue, Eloise Rankin, Elinor Anderson, Gladys Smith, Lois Thompson, Jessie Haddow, and Dorothy Price. One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1931 - Page 127 ---------- TENNIS HANDBALL Sablocki, Nelson, Nairn, Klinski, Sinnes, Esleby Hilburger, Shudshift, Bresnan, Rankin Brandt, Smith, Johnson, Wiberg, Jacob, Logan Tennis Tennis is again one of the ma-jor sports of the spring quarter. In this country in which it never gets really too hot to play all through the summer, almost every one at least attempts to play the game. Muscles are still stiff from dis-use during the winter months. But with the continued good weather every one has a chance to limber up and develop the techniques of the game. Some of those who are turning out show good form already and with such a wide variety of play-ers there is promise of many in-teresting matches later. Although the girls do not have inter-collegiate meets there is al-ways much competition within the tennis turnout itself. Competition took place in the form of a ladder tournament. At the time the Klipsun went to press, Sigrid Wiberg was at the top of the ladder and Guy Smith was second. Handball The back of the grandstand on Waldo field seemed to have a strange and unaccountable attrac-tion for some of the feminine ath- letes of Bellingham State Normal School during the spring quarter. Upon further investigation it appeared that practice in the game of handball was being held there every Monday and Wednesday af- ternoon from four o'clock until five. Under the skillful coaching of Miss Marjory Horton, the girls de- veloped speed and accuracy in the game in which these abilities are essential. When speed and accuracy are a part of the player's technique, handball becomes a fast-moving and thrilling game; a fact which was ably illustrated by the girls who played during the spring quarter. The handball courts were the scene of many interesting matches played by the girls. After a num-ber of these contests singles and doubles teams were chosen by the coach.

H. Fisher President's Message The coming and going of students each year brings joy and regret to the faculty. Joy at the opportunity of getting acquainted and working with a new group of students. Regret that students after a few years of happy associations are to leave the school to assume responsibility in the world of affairs. The satisfaction of seeing students grow in intellectual attainments, social responsibility and technical knowledge and skill is further enhanced by seeing students leave the school to undertake responsible positions for which they are prepared. The Klipsun is regarded as an indispensible record of happy days spent together in living, learning and growing. May this record so well set forth by graduates of the class of 1932, be a never failing source of beautiful and inspiring memories. C. H. Fisher ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [5] ---------- Foreword As sunset paints beautiful memories of a day across the dreaming horizon, may this Klipsun imprint upon our minds the memory of all precious, past things of our Normal days; as foaming, emerald, mountain waters roar the story of the great icefields from which they spring, may this book embody a bit of the strength of ideals, the invigorating power and inspiration, that comes from working together, day by day, toward a common goal; as the gentle murmur of spring rains sings the prophecy of all the sweet summer to come, may these pages suggest the hope and trust, the joy, its anticipation and the spirit of adventure with which we face the wilderness of years ahead. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [6] ---------- Dedication To sun and skies and winging birds, to winds and trees and all the creatures of the woods, to honeyed flowers and breeze-bent grass, to dreaming lakes and rushing streams, to brooding, bouldered hills and ferny deeps, to jagged ranges of sparkling, icy crags, to all the manifestations of nature in which we live, as one glad day succeeds another -- to that great, throbbing spirt of the infinite outdoors, we dedicate this northwestern edition of the Klipsun. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [7] ---------- Table of Contents Administration Classes Activities Organizations Athletics Training School School Life ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [8] ---------- Classic walls and classic trees -- the garden of intellect ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [9] ---------- Among cool shadows and green knolls students stroll and dream. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [10] ---------- This is the Home of Color and of Light. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [11] ---------- The wide skies, broad hills and tide-moved waters of our bay. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [12] ---------- Far above the bay's blue waters Stands our own Sehome. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [13] ---------- Guarded all around my mountains Crowned by Baker's dome. ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [14] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page [15] ---------- ADMINISTRATION Through the lens of the ranger's field glass, vast and mighty forests wind-whipped, rain-swept, sun-scorched--man guarding Nature.

Mr. Bever received his B. Ped., B. A. and M. A. degrees from Drake University. He has done graduate work at the Universities of Chicago, Washington and California. During the winter quarter, Miss Nora B. Cummins assumed the du-ties of this office in the absence of Dean Bever, who was taking graduate work at the University of California. The event of chief interest, in this office, during the past year was the revision of curricula due to new requirements for diplomas. DEAN OF WOMEN Miss Adele M. Jones received her B. S. and M. A. degrees from Teacher's College, Columbia University. In 1923 she became a member of the faculty and assumed the duties of Dean of Women. While on a leave of absence during the winter quarter, the respon-sibilities of the office were placed in the hands of Miss Mildred Tremain, secretary to Miss Jones. This office takes care of all social functions and gives help to any woman student needing assistance on school or personal matters. DEAN OF MEN W. J. Marquis, Dean of Men, became a member of the faculty in 1923, being associated with the Department of Education. In 1925 he was appointed to the position which he now holds. To Dean Marquis, the men students may go with their problems. Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 18 ---------- Swanson Buchanan Buchanan Banner Hughes Office Force INEZ SWANSON MRS.

President STANLEY SMITH Vice-President EVELYN ELLIOTT Secretary EDDIE DUYFF Treasurer GUY BUSHBY .. I. C. C. Representative MR. PELAGIUS WILLIAMS Adviser With the largest enrollment in the history of the organization, the Junior-Senior College was reorganized for the purpose of electing class officers and planning activities for the year. Any student who has completed the requirements of the two year course is a member of the organization. During the winter quarter, an informal meeting was held in the Blue Room of Eden's Hall, for the purpose of getting acquainted, and discussing plans for future activities. Guy Bushby was general chair-man of the affair. On February 23, an assembly program was spon-sored, and in celebration of the Washington Bicentennial, a Washing-ton Memorial Tree was planted on the campus. The outstanding event of the spring quarter was the participation in the Inter-Class Picnic, which was in charge of the Junior-Senior division.

Vice-President JEAN MORSE Secretary-Treasurer EMLYN JONES . . . . . . C. C. Representative E. A. BOND Faculty Advisor Another year goes by and another class is preparing to lay its posses-sions under the marble tile in the "walk of memories." Not every member of the class of '32 will go down on record as a leader, but every follower has shown his democratic ability to give and take suggestions with a ready cheer, and to back their leaders in installing a new system of nomi-nating and voting in school elections. Another new precedent which will probably be left for the following classes is that of electing the most representative co-ed of the school. Class activities began in the Fall quarter with the party with the novel idea "Superstitions." Each following activity attained equal suc-cess, climaxed only by the school picnic. Under the capable advisorship of Dr. E. A. Bond, the latter part of Spring quarter was a time of great activity with Class day, Class day assembly, Baccalaureate and Gradu-ation. Though the marble square in the lane of memories may grow worn and faded, the class of '32 will always hope that its new achievements will be remembered.

The class party, under the direction of Lillian Bennerstrom, was consid-ered by everyone as a great success. A deep-sea idea was well carried out in the decorative scheme. Vaughn Howell, outstanding frosh student, managed the Spring Mixer with originality and remarkable ability. The big bonfire for the Homecoming celebration was built and su-pervised by the freshmen. They spent much time and effort to make it one of the largest and hottest of Homecoming bonfires. With so many talented members, the class is sure to fill very ade-quately the place left by the sophomores.

In the Columbia Press Association Contest, held yearly in New York City, the Viking, for the second consecutive year, won first place rating in a field of 1,200 contestants. The fall quarter editions were judged, Roger Chapman, the newly appointed editor, deserving much credit for their efficient direction. The position of business manager was held dur-ing the fall and winter quarters by Bob Walters and in the spring quarter by Bob Waters. Mrs. Ruth Burnet returned after an absence of several years to take her former position as instructor of Journalism and faculty adviser of the publication. The Viking was chiefly instrumental in carrying out the Health Service Reform in the school fall quarter. The Representative Co-ed Contest was also sponsored by the Viking. Another feature was the special homecoming publication. Unique in its scope was the tabloid issue of the Viking fall quarter. The staff has been especially competent and with the co-operation of the student body a very successful year has been concluded. Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 64 ---------- Student Publications SELF-STARTER Each fall the entering women are presented with a small booklet known as the "Self- Starter." This efficient little pamphlet contains a great deal of information that is of im-portance to freshman girls. It is a miniature, code of conduct, combined with a directory of what will be of use during the year. The book is published by the Standards Committee of the Women's League. DIRECTORY Another aid to the student is the directory, distributed each year at the beginning of the fall quarter. This contains the name, home, residence address, and phone number of every student and faculty member of the school. Supplementary lists are also published at the beginning of each quarter. The directories are distributed to the students without charge through the Co-Op. Sixty-four I I - I ' - ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 65 ---------- Student Publications FOOTBALL PROGRAM At this year's Homecoming game with Ellensburg, football programs, similar to last year's, were sold. The pamphlet con-tained pictures of each player, a technical score card, and num-erous advertisements to attract the eye of the alumnus. This booklet is sponsored by the Board of Control, and the con-tract is offered to the students. Charles Dowell held the con-tract for the publication of this year's booklet. BLUE BOOK The students of the Normal School receive a Blue Book each year. This small booklet is a necessity to every student. It contains all information that will enable entering students to become familiar with the school. The information listed is of value to everyone. The book is prepared and distributed under student direction at the begin-ning of the fall quarter. I' I Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 66 ---------- Chandler Skotheim Lundberg Grieve Informals OUTSIDE INFORMALS Outside informals for the past year were held in the Crystal Ball Room of the Leopold Hotel as in former years. The Fall dance had for its theme a "Japanese Ball," including bright-colored lanterns, white cherry blossoms, and golden chrysanthemums. Red hearts and Dan Cupid predominated at the Winter informal in February, when the Valentine idea was carried out. In the Spring the ballroom took on the dress of a May Day festival with beautiful gowns and pretty flowers. Much credit is due Miss Evelyn Chandler, who had charge of these outside informals. INSIDE INFORMALS For the Fall informal the Blue Room of Edens Hall had a festive being air, decorated with mysterious looking packages, snowy Christmas trees, and silvery stars. In the latter part of February the Winter informal was held. A lighthouse idea was used very effectively. The Spring informal was given in the latter weeks of May. Miss Marion Grieve is to be congratulated for the success of these outstanding social events. MEN'S CLUB INFORMAL In the early part of February the Men's Club held their annual in-formal at the Chuckanut Shell. The collegiate theme was used, pennants and football trophies being very much in evidence. Mr. Aubrey Lundberg had charge of this affair. "W" CLUB INFORMAL In the middle of the Fall quarter the "W" Club informal was held at the Chuckanut Shell. The Club used the football idea throughout. White and blue were the outstanding colors. Mr. Sivert Skotheim deserves a great deal of credit for the success of this dance. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 67 ---------- Hutchison O'Donnell Howell Skotheim Socials The social calendar for the past year shows a large number of club-sponsored and all-school affairs providing for intra-school associations. The initial event of the fall quarter was the all-school mixer at the State Armory on September 29. The decorations lent an autumn at-mosphere to the occasion, and the evening was given over to games and dancing. A "Leap Year" mixer was featured in the winter quarter. This was a dance party carrying out the "leap year" idea in its program. Carrousels and clowns prevailed at the "Circus" mixer given in the spring quarter. The party furnished much amusement through the clever decorative scheme. The annual homecoming celebration, beginning Friday, October 30, furnished a round of activities for Normal students and alumni. A ser-pentine through the city streets Friday evening was followed by a bon-fire- pep rally and a "rec" hour in the gymnasium. The football game with Ellensburg was the main event Saturday afternoon, and the festivi-ties were brought to a close after the Homecoming dance Saturday even-ing. This was in the form of a "Skeleton Skip," and atmosphere was lent by black and white figures, graveyard effects, and weird shadows. Superstition predominated at the Sophomore party given during fall quarter. Open umbrelllas, number thirteens, ladders, black cats and an occasional four leaf clover "just for luck" made up the decorations. The Freshmen gave a unique type of affair during winter quarter. It carried out the "deep sea" theme in every detail. Campus Day, an annual affair, was set for May 10. Majors and lieu- tenants were appointed to have charge of the various committees and carry out the plans in a military fashion. The Drama Club, Thespians, and W. A. A. furnished entertainment, while the "W" club handled all field events. Much work was accomplished, both on the Campus and at Normalstad, accompanied by a great deal of play. "Rec" hours, which provide for dancing, were conducted in the big gymnasium every Friday afternoon. This year the time for recreation was lengthened to one hour and a half. Sixty- seven ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 68 ---------- To The Ladies The American business man was portrayed in satire in the summer presentation of the Drama Club, "To The Ladies," a comedy by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly. In the absence of Mr. V. H. Hoppe, the play was under the direction of Miss Jennie Waugh. Leonard Beebe and his wife, Elsie, a wise little girl from Mobile, are the central figures in the drama. Leonard typifies the average American clerk striving toward success. Elsie is determined to aid him in achieving his aim and does it in a surprisingly clever manner. The characters were represented by the following cast: ELSIE BEEBE Cornell Wiese LEONARD BEEBE Franklin Lock JOHN KINCAID .Dewey Bowman MRS.

The drama was of an unusual type, turning from reality to fantasy. The plot concerned "Liliom," an independent and overbearing character, who is an amusement park barker, and his harrassed but very loyal wife, Julie. The story shows the downfall of the hero, abetted by evil associ- ates, his suicide, and final punishment by divine justice while the faith of Julie goes unrewarded. Liliom returns to earth to do a good deed for his wife and daughter, Louise, before he returns to final judgment. His sullen traits overcome his purpose and he fails in his attempt.

He was awarded the hon-or of having his name engraved upon the extemporaneous cup. All the winners' names since the contest originated in 1926-1927, are engraved upon it. This contest aims to encourage public speaking and the development of an appreciation on the part of the students, for clear and interesting talking before groups. Each contestant may choose his own topic from an approved list, and from this topic he prepares a five-minute talk. Other contestants were: Charles Gerald, Bessie Taylor, Lois Thomp-son, William Button. Scholarship Award As their bequest to the school in 1930-1931, the Sophomore class left a twenty-five-year scholarship cup. The freshman highest in scho-lastic attainment at the end of each spring quarter is presented with this cup. His name is engraved on it and he is allowed to keep it for a year, at the end of which he must relinquish it to the next successive winner of the award. In the spring of 1931 this cup was awarded to Wilfred Gunderson, whose scholastic attainment was 130 points. Honorable mention went to the following students: Nellie Cox, Paul Williams, Enid Rasmus, and Dorothy Top. Seventy-one ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 72 ---------- The Musical Artists' Course The 1931-32 concert series of the Musical Artists' course has offered an attractive program for the music lovers of the city and a special op-portunity for Normal students to hear renowned artists. This season's musical attractions were the sixteenth annual concert series which are under the auspices of the Bellingham Women's Music Club and the Nor-mal school. The season was opened on October 15th with the presentation of Marie Montana, celebrated soprano. Miss Montana has won interna-tional fame as an operatic star. Outstanding in the recital events was the appearance of E. Robert Schmitz on the evening of February 2. His playing was vivid and dis-played excellent technique. The artist has conducted a number of or-chestras on various occasions in his career. The presentation of a world famed personnel, the Kedroff quartet, on February 17th, gave pleasant variety to the series of concerts. The artists, Professor N. N. Kedroff, M. M. I. K. Denissoff, C. M. Kedroff and T. F. Kasakroff, are all natives of Russia. In three seasons before the American public, the Kedroff quartet has won a triumph which rivals their conquest of the music world in Europe. Paul Kochanski, Polish violinist, appeared in concert March 14. The remarkable tone quality in Mr. Kochanski's playing was admirable. He appeared abroad before coming to the United States, and at present, he is the most constantly sought after of all major artists. The artist appearing in the final concert of the season, April 7, was the famous baritone, John Charles Thomas, who has obtained recogni-tion in three different fields of musical art-opera comique, grand opera, and concert. He has won fame through his style and interpretative power. He is one of the few American artists who is accepted unre-servedly abroad. Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 73 ---------- Little Symphony Orchestra For four seasons since its organization the Little Symphony Orches-tra has appeared in concert under the direction of Harold B. Smith, head of the Music Department. The orchestra consists of approximately forty-five members, both professional and amateur. Fourteen are members of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the others being musicians of Belling-ham and of the Normal school. Assemblies Artists appearing in the musical programs were: Almada Biery Jones, noted violinist; Kolia Levienne, Russian-American cellist; the Wood-wind Quintet of Seattle; the Kraus String Quartet of the Cornish School; Isabelle Burnada, contralto; August Werner, a Norwegian vocalist; Mrs. Nan Dybdahl Wiik, a Norwegian opera singer; Dorothy Hopper Jackson and John Hopper in a two piano ensemble program; Bernice Wahl, so-prano; and Chauncey Griffith, pianist. Lecturers were Lewis Browne, writer and lecturer, who spoke on "Present Day Authors"; A. M. Stephen, Canadian poet, novelist and dra- matist; Herr Fischer, who spoke on the "Economic and Cultural Life of Hungary; Ebba Dahlin, speaking on "The Disunited States of Europe"; Wesley F. Rennie, a Seattle Y. M. C. A. worker expressed his "European Impressions"; Lennox Robinson, Irish dramatist and director of the Ab-bey Theater at Dublin; Sir Hubert Wilkins, author and explorer; Dr. Wil-liam T. Foster, "Economic Conditions," and Jehan Warliker, Prince Wee-sodia, of India. Several novel programs were given: A Scottish Quartet; Ruth Van Valey in Oriental and novelty dances; Dorothy Crawford, in character monologues; and Sarah Truax Albert, who read "The Barretts of Win-pole Street." A program of student talent was presented in which Emily Bentley Dow, violinist; Preston Wright, reader; and Christine Albers, pianist, took part. Miss Dow reappeared in a later assembly and was accompa-nied by Ethel Page. A play was given by members of the Drama Club.

The squad helps in fire drills by seeing that the building is efficiently and quickly emptied. A careful program has been mapped out to empty the building during assembly. This group has been needed for some time, and it is a valuable and necessary addition to the Normal's quota of organizations.

A. Bond and Mr. L. A. Kibbe. Their untiring efforts, intense interest and willing co-op-eration have boosted Viking stock to a level unattainable without their traditional appearances and hearty backing in all athletic contests and endeavors. Just as Lord Siegfried, great Northland hero of ancient days, or-iginated that first Viking spirit, so has that spirit been passed down to us for the past many years through these two-staunch Vikings. Their appreciation of all things athletic has become an indispensible symbol of spirit and support to anyone connected with Normal Viking sports. Their names have been made synonomous with loyalty, spirit, faith-fulness and duty-they show all of these qualities in the support of Norsemen who go forth to uphold the standards of the Blue and White. It is indeed with pleasure and appreciation that we dedicate this sports section to Dr. Bond and Mr. Kibbe. Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 94 ---------- Carver Abbot Gunn Football Captain Viking Coaching Staff The foundation of the successful athletic program at the Bellingham State Normal is based on the plan of competition for all in order that a larger field may be possible from which to select teams for intercollegiate competition. And in order that this program might be carried out to its full extent the Normal school has had on its staff for the past several years two directors of unusual efficiency. Heading the athletic department is Coach Sam E. Carver, a former student of physical education at the Universities of Oregon, California and Stanford, and a very capable leader and director of men in all lines of sports. Coach Carver is well versed in the art of physical development and expresses this art very capably on the football gridiron, basketball court, cinder track and tennis courts. His assistant in the physical education field and head coach of base-ball, Coach Royal E. Gunn, has aided greatly in producing many out-standing athletic aggregations. A driving, forceful personality, Coach Gunn is very capable in bringing out the best in a man and in securing unanimous co-operation among the participants. True Viking leaders, these two coaches, and worthy and deserving of all support given them by Viking backers and athletes. Allen Carter, Hammett Cavanaugh, Shaffer Albert N inety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 95 ---------- Falkner Cox Berg Football Sports Introduction The 1931 edition of the Viking football machine was built around a nucleus of eight lettermen and a large group of willing but rather inex-perienced men. Iverson, Abbott, Cox, Flowers, Shelton, Comfort, Sut-ton and Faulkner were the lettermen who were back to fill their posts. New men who proved themselves outstanding during the season were Donovan, Berg, Williams, Gissberg, Smith, Brewer, Sybrant, Gillispie, and VanOver. Injuries handicapped the Viking team throughout the season, and not once during the season were the Viking coaches able to swing their team into action at full strength. A tough schedule was experienced by the Vikings, but each man gave a good account of himself. Vikings In Action Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 96 ---------- Iverson Smith Donovan 1931 Football Schedule October 3---Bellingham Buttercups October 10-Coast Guard October 16-Pacific Lutheran October 24-Cheney Normal October 31-Ellensburg Normal November 7-College of Puget Sound November 14-St. Martin's College Vikings vs. Buttercups Swinging back the curtains of the 1931 football season in an impres-sive manner, Coach Sam Carver's grid aces cut down a heavy Belling-ham Buttercup eleven to their own size and then proceeded to ad-minister a 19-0 defeat. Playing against a beefy aggregation, the Vikings were unable to get anywhere in the first half except via the air route. A long heave from Harris to Flint started the scoring end of the game for the Vik-ings in the second quarter. Coach Carver tested the strength of several backfields during the course of the battle and gradually wore down the Cup's until the final period a quartet of Viking backfield stars stormed over for two touch-downs and a top-heavy victory. Some excellent performances were delivered in this fracas and everything pointed to a successful season. Ninety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 97 ---------- Flowers Gillespie Harris Vikings vs. Navy Bombarding the Port Townsend Coast Guard with a great display of offensive football, the Viking grid machine ground out a 6-0 victory in their second start of the season. The ball was in Navy territory virtually the entire game but the determined offensive thrusts of the Vikings were hurled back many times during the game by the husky Navy eleven. Although advancing the ball several times within the ten yard line, the Vikings were unable to score until late in the third period when Sinko, headed by perfect in-terference, took the oval over on a long end run. Conversion failed and thus ended the scoring for the day. It was very obvious in this game that the Vikings lacked the punch in the ter-ritory where "touchdowns are made." Bellingham Vikings vs. Pacific Lutheran College Interception of three of their passes proved too much for Coach Sam Carver's gridsmen and consequently they dropped a heart-breaking melee 27-7 to Pacific Lutheran College at Tacoma. The Vikings started fast, outplayed their opponents the first quar-ter, pushed over a touchdown and converted to give them the lead. Im-mediately following this score the Gladiators opened their bag of tricks and pushed down the field to score. Then with less than three minutes to play in the initial half, "Red" Carlson, tiny Tacoma halfback inter-cepted two consecutive passes, dashed for touchdowns, and put the southern team far in the lead. He scored again in the final quarter, while the Vikings were held scoreless by his teammates. This game was a heart-breaker to drop and seemed to start a losing streak that the Vikings were unable to shake during the entire schedule of games. Ninety-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 98 ---------- Shelton Williams Sinko Bellingham Vikings vs. Cheney Savages Assaulting their Western opponents with a bewildering attack in the second half, the Cheney Normal copped their first Tri-Normal tilt 40-0 from the Bellingham Vikings. The Vikings were placed on the defensive from the opening kick-off but held their conference enemy to one touchdown in the first half. The Savage eleven outweighed the local squad, and used their added poundage to a good advantage. Great work by Captain Abbott, Berg, and Donovan prevented the Cheneyites from working into a scoring position in the first period and a half. Late in the second quarter a long pass was completed and put the Savages in the lead. The Savages seemed to warm to their game as it progressed and rolled up scores with monotonous regularity in the second and third periods. The Bellingham team fought like Vikings of old but it was impos-sible to stop the horde of touchdown-crazy Savages in the final half. Ninety-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 99 ---------- Christy Brewer Baxter Bellingham Normal vs. Ellensburg Normal Surprising even their staunchest supporters, the little band of Vik-ing gridsmen, stormed to new heights in their annual Homecoming game with Ellensburg Normal by holding their ancient rivals to a one touchdown victory. The highly touted running attack of the Wildcats was slowed down, stopped, and put into reverse in the first half by the victory-seeking Vik-ings. But it was all for naught, for the fight-weary Normal men faltered once in the third quarter and the then thoroughly surprised but aroused Wildcats pushed over the goal line and converted for the margin of vic-tory. Again as in past games Abbott, Berg and Donovan were the out- standing Vikings on the field. The score fails to tell the complete story as the Carverites actually out- played their heavier visitors the first half and nosed within the ten yard line twice during the second quarter. Ninety-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 100 ---------- Sybrant Comfort Turner Vikings vs. College of Puget Sound Running up three touchdowns in the last half, after being out-played and held scoreless in the first half, the College of Puget Sound grid warriors administered the Normal Vikings' fourth defeat of the season, 21-7. In the first half, the Vikings completely outclassed their rivals and were leading 7-0 at the half. Line smashes, passes, reverses and terrific drives by the Vikings completely baffled the visiting Loggers and stood them back on their heels for two quarters. Passes proved to be the main force of the local eleven and Flowers punched the oval over after three completed passes had worked the ball inside the ten yard line. In the second period Captain Abbott snared three consecutive passes and worked to the two yard line where the Vikings' magnificent eighty-yard drive was terminated. The Loggers stiffened and held the losers for downs. Weakened by injuries, the Viking line was unable to withstand the assault of the Loggers in the last half, and no less than three times did the visitors cross over into magic territory. One Hundred ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 101 ---------- Flint Hogile Sutton Bellingham Vikings vs. St. Martin's College To ring down the curtain on 1931 football, the Vikings were buried deep in Waldo mud and water by the St. Martins Rangers. When the Southerners finally quit "Notre Dame shifting" they had piled up an impressive 26-0 victory. During the entire fracas there was little question of the Rangers' superiority. The Vikings put up a stubborn defense at all times but were unable to cope with the power plays of the husky visiting eleven. Outstanding on the Bellingham eleven, in spite of their top-heavy defeat, were Abbot, Berg, and Christy. Donovan and Iverson played fine defensive ball in their stand against Bufkin, Sibellia and Muszynski, high-striding Ranger backs. This game spelled finis for several wearers of the Blue and White. Included in the group were Flowers, Iverson and Shelton, backs; Sut-ton, Falkner, Captain Roy Abbott, and Cox, linesmen. One Hundred One ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 102 ---------- McNeill Rork Kienast McBeath Basketball Season Resume Coach Sam Carver's initial call for the 1932 basketball season was answered by a large squad of super-varsity material out of which the Viking mentor selected the nucleus of this year's team. Veterans Rork, Sherman and Campbell were the group around which Carver built his hopes for a successful schedule. Clint McBeath, a W. S. C. transfer, im- mediately stepped into a forward break to pair up with Irving Wahl, former Everett Hi flash. Jimmy Rork and John Kienast, a first year man, handled the pivot position with Archie Sherman and Erling Johannson, another newcomer, at the back posts. Cecil Johannes joined the squad late in the season. With this squad in fine fettle and improving rapidly, the Vikings took their first two games with victories over the Pacific Lutheran Col-lege and the Rangers from St. Martins. Then came the most disas-terous and untimely slump the Vikings bumped into during the entire season. A flying trip over the mountains with three games in four even-ings was much too great a task for the Carverites and losses to Ellens- burg, Cheney, and Yakima Junior College sent Viking stock out of sight. The Ellensburg quintet was much the most impressive on the trip with the Vikings dropping the other two tussles in ragged form. Rork, Kienast, Sherman, McBeath, Wahl, Johannson, Campbell, Carver One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 103 ---------- Campbell Johannson Wahl Sherman The Bellingham squad returned home only to swing southward to do battle with the College of Puget Sound. Here again the Vikings failed to hit their stride and dropped a fast game. The following week the Vikings played host to the Savages from Cheney and for their hospitality lost a hair-raising thriller by one point to the Eastern team. This put the Vikings definitely out of Tri-Normal championship aspirations. And again the following week the Viking hosts were taken by storm, and dropped a hard game to the high strid-ing Ellensburg Wildcats. Seeking a change of climate, the Vikings pointed the prow of their ship southward to tangle with the Pacific Lutheran and St. Martins Col-leges on their courts. And the change paid good returns as the Carver squad came home with two hard-fought for victory flags waving from their mast. And as in previous years the Vikings closed the season on the local floor with their traditional enemies, the rough and ready Loggers from the College of Puget Sound. And as in the previous season the Blue and White aggregation were forced to admit defeat in the final minute of play. The 1932 basketball season, although not as successful as some in the past have been, was outstanding in the development of flashy, clever basket-tossers who will undoubtedly next year form one of the strongest quintets developed at the Normal school. Varsity vs. Junior Varsity One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 104 ---------- JUNIOR VARSITY Zoet, Van Over, Leatha, Chandler, Eacrett, Gunn Super-Varsity Basketball Playing in a class "A" City League that embraced several teams of unusual calibre, the Normal Super Varsity was unable to climb any high-er in their short season schedule. This outfit was groomed by Coach Carver, and, from the material developed in this division of players, he was able to greatly strengthen his Varsity after the Super season had closed. It was on this team that the foundation for the speed and aggres-siveness of the Varsity was laid. Junior Varsity Basketball Playing superlative ball and without an equal in the class "B" City League, Coach "Pop" Gunn's Junior Varsity stormed to heights that have not been reached in many years by a Normaml team by bringing up on the hill the division championship pennant. Twelve out of thirteen games was their record for the season. Zoet, Comfort, Eacrett, Cook, Chandler, Malmquist, Bond, Leatha, VanOver and Gissberg formed the nucleus of this great little championship team. One Hundred, FmQi ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 105 ---------- INTRA MURAL Sells Gross Ford Abbot Harris Smith Halbert Intramural Basketball Proving themselves of a calibre much superior to the Normal intra-mural basketball league, the Co-Op Thugs breezed through a fourteen game schedule without a single defeat. An unusual offensive attack was the Thugs' main forte, and they toppled their opponents at will with the exception of the Viking Manor's second place quintet, who threw a scare into the Co-Op camp each time they tangled. In several post-season games the Thugs continued their winning ways by dropping a number of city league outfits and downing the highly-touted Everett Baptists. Intra-mural sports is a phase of athletic activity coming much to the foreground in physical education and is being encouraged by the Normal coaching staff. Intra-mural athletics gives more contestants a chance to compete and makes it possible to choose an inter- collegiate team from a larger field of trained athletes. One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 106 ---------- Rockey Flint Smith Loomis Baseball Write-Up Opening their season with an impressive win over the College of Puget Sound 9-4, Coach "Pop" Gunn's squad of baseball aces showed great possibilities for the remainder of the season. Little was known of the Viking ball team's strength until a considerable time after the first turnout, late in March. But with the hurlers smoothing the kinks out of their arms and the fielders and batters getting their eye on the ball, the Viking mentor has been very optimistic for the spring season. Greeted by Iverson and Leatha, veteran hurlers, and Abbott, Com-fort, Campbell and Eacrett, husky letter winners, plus a plentiful sprink-ling of new men and members of last season's squad, Coach Gunn began grooming his proteges for a big season. Cook One Hundred Six Gallanger Dobler Eacrett ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 107 ---------- Brewer Leatha Macomber Abbot With exceptional strength on the mound, the Vikings were not ex- pected to encounter much trouble, but in spite of their strength, they met their first reversal against St. Martins, who slammed three of the Bel-lingham hurlers for a 12-4 victory. The number one Viking twirler, "Buck" Loomis, worked the Puget Sound game and turned the Loggers back with ease in a sterling exhibition. Other Viking players who will see plenty of service during the re-mainder of the season are: Bert Gallanger, Al Francisco, and Terry Cook, outfielders; Art Smith, Eddie Macomber and Milton Flint, infielders; Nelson Brewer and Lloyd Loomis, pitchers. Games yet to be played this season include return tussles with St. Martins and the College of Puget Sound. Also a two-game series with the University of Washington Frosh has been scheduled. The Vikings automatically cop the Tri-Normal crown as neither El-lensburg or Cheney have shown any intentions of entering teams. Stiger Campbell Iverson Francisco One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 108 ---------- Christie Stiger Johanson Lovegren Track Although not showing as much early season strength as last season's championship squad, Coach Sam Carver is bringing along a fine, bal-anced track outfit. Seven letter winners are back to garner points in their favorite events. Graduation depleted the Viking squad in the distances and middle distance jaunts, and it is here that the local squad is weakest. Strong in the sprints, with Chuck Thomas, veteran, and Walt Schlilaty, former state prep champ, turning in remarkable time for the century and fur-long, little is to be feared in the dashes. Becken One Hundred Eight Falkner Schlilaty Thomas __ ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 109 ---------- Jones Williams Gable Shelton John Gable, Tri-Normal champion, has been leaping high, wide and handsome in pre-season tilts and exceeded the present record by nearly a foot in the Ellensburg Normal meet. Davey Jones, pole vaulter, is also back to try for new records this year. Jim Davis, without an equal among Tri-Normal competitors, is back again this year to do his jumping act over the high and low hurdles and also take a few points in the high jump. Shelton, Moe, and VanOver, a new man, will back up the weights in an outstanding fashion with Kemphaus working the javelin. Lew Lovegren, letter winner in the distances, is back to step the two-mile. He will be supported by Duyff, veteran miler, and Johannson, a new man. In an early season meet the Vikings downed the Ellensburg Normal" by a forty point margin with some exceptionally fine marks being set. Davis Duyff Hall Mickelson One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 110 ---------- Stearns, Wahl, Irby, Bond, Fisher, Wiedman Tennis With one veteran back and a great deal of promising material out for the Viking tennis team, Coach Sam Carver is anticipating an excep-tionally strong and successful season. Willie Houghton, the lone one-striper back, will uphold his singles crown against the attacks of both Normal players and minor college racket weilders. At this writing but one match had been played with the Vikings .toppling their ancient rivals, the College of Puget Sound, five to two. The local players played superb ball against the Loggers and rallied time and again to take their matches. Houghton, Lahtonen, and Carr garnered victories in this tussle with Houghton and Carr and Fisher and Lahtonen copping the two doubles matches. The team will represent the Normal school at the Tri-Normal meet this spring at Cheney. The local racket swingers packed away both the singles and doubles crowns last year and left a big mark for this year's squad to shoot at. A return match with the Loggers and two matches with the U. of W. Frosh will conclude the season. One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 111 ---------- Viqueen Lodge Viqueen Lodge Just imagine having thirteen acres on Sinclair Island, harboring a five- room house with a fireplace, and two beaches. Two acres of it are already cleared and the rest of it is primitive looking timber! Such is Viqueen Lodge, the girls' paradise on Sinclair Island. When it was first begun, it was termed a venture in real estate. The girls paid five hundred dollars as the first payment on a two hundred dollar investment and received in return, a playground overlooking other of the San Juan Islands and being in reality a scenic wonderland. That was the venture in a nutshell, and the girls have certainly benefited from it. Miss Weythman uses it as a place to take her camp craft class for a week- end of work and play. It is also used as a general outing place, a camp site, an old swimming hole, and a place for hikes and games. From the very beginning of the scheme to recent date, the project has afforded a real adventure for the Women's Athletic Association. One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 112 ---------- Women's Sports Miss Weythman, who is head of the Women's Physical educa-tion department, has a great deal to do with the repeated success of girls' sports. She at-tended, with two students, the National W. A. A. convention in Los Angeles, where she acquired many new ideas on teaching girls' sports. Mildred Jewell, who handles dancing in the school, also coaches various sports. Miss Margery Horton special-izes in swimming. She is also a coach of different sports. Miss Lillian George, always interested in the girls, accom-panied them on their hikes whenever weather permitted. Dancing One, two, three, tap! One, two, three, tap! And so on, us-ing the staid expression, far, far into the afternoon! The fall dancing class, for those wishing to learn to tap was popular and crowded, and although none of the girls learned to be full fledged Pavlovas, a good time was had by all. Lota Lawrence, Minnie Peterson, and Dolly Malterner from the Frosh, and Clarice Abel, Charlotte Hoag, Marie Lundquist, Peggy Shud-shift, Lucile Sly, and Evelyn Smith from the Sophs, com-posed the dance teams selected by Miss Horton, who had charge of the turnouts. Basketball Basketball-that ever-old, ever-popular sport, enjoyed a large turnout this year. It seems that the fact that basketball is the oldest girl's sport in the school, does not decrease its popularity. The organization of intra-mural teams gave every girl a chance to participate in the sport. One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 113 ---------- Volleyball It seems that "keep it going, keep it going-that's it-Oh!" is the exclamation characteris-tic of volleyball. Volleyball has had an active turnout for sever-al years at the Normal and it seems that "a never say die" spirit pervades all the games. The Sophomores took an easy championship, winning three out of five games. Handball Handball is played with a small rubber ball, the object be-ing to hit it against the wall. The ball reacts in various ways, landing anywhere within a ra-dius of 150 feet. Handball tour-naments include singles and doubles. The little courts at the rear of the grandstand are used for this game. Archery "I shot an arrow into the air -it fell to earth, I know not where" is true of the archery contestants, for the arrows may be found anywhere from the grandstand to the heart of Se-home. Archery reached the height of its popularity this spring, and is a feature of Field Day. Tennis Tennis is a game illustrating Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest," for the tournaments deftly find the "fittest," if she is to be found. Tennis tourna-ments were started about 1917, and since then there has been a class tournament each spring. The courts on High Street are always busy. One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 114 ---------- Soccer Girls who play soccer must be fully prepared for kicked shins and soggy shoes. In spite of this fact, however, soccer is one of the most popular of the outdoor sports. The first class game of the soccer season just past was a tie, the second a frosh victory, and the last one, after an overtime period, showed the sophs to be ahead. Points totaled six in all. Hockey Whistling winds and chat-tering teeth, accompanied by woolly tams and swetters, ush-ered in another successful hock-ey season ending in a one point victory for the second year classmen. An exciting tie ended the first tussle and the final whistle brought the last one to a close with the sophs boasting three markers and the frosh two. Speedball Speedball, being an outdoor sport, was enjoyed immensely by the girls. The game is a com-bination of soccer and basket-ball and is played on the field. It is a very speedy game, includ-ing numerous quick plays and much passing and kicking. Lovers of the game only grin at the bruised feet and kicked shins which result. Badminton Badminton, an English game similar to tennis, is a sport in which contestants are greatly intrigued by the tricky, little leather shuttle cock which seems, at times, almost bird-like in its activities-and many a mad dash and a reach high, wide and forceful, with the long handled rackets is necessary be-fore victory can be attained. One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 115 ---------- Baseball Baseball, the good old Ameri-can sport of all youth, is always assured of its share of fans. It is one of the many spring sports offered and a large number of girls turn out. As in other sports, intra- mural games are played, class teams are chosen and final games are played on field day. It may be an old sport -but each year it creates new interests. Here out on Waldo, the Vi-queens are enjoying some real baseball. Every night of regular turnout the girls in black and white with here and there a flash of color, may be seen bat-ting Ruthies, hard and fast, for the W. A. A.-and there are sev-eral home runs in an evening, too. Hiking Organized hikes were started by Miss George about seven years ago, and since that time, have enjoyed good followings. It seems that a small sign say-ing, "All girls going on the hike Saturday sign below. Bring tin cup and own lunch" posted on the bulletin board, insures a large feminine crowd. Swimming With the ruination of many of fifty-cent hair waves, the gay, young hopefuls in drab, gray suits, passed another swimming season. Swimming took place as usual at the Y: W. C. A. pool, with Miss Horton blowing the proverbial whistle as the offi-cial head. Freshman and Sopho-more teams were chosen. One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 116 ---------- Shudshift, Jacobson, Meredith, Top, Harris, Grieve Sweater Girls Have you noticed the girls about the halls who wear white wool sweaters with a single service stripe and a blue "W"? These girls are to be complimented on their athletic ability. They are the "cream of the crop" so to speak, and have been members of eight first teams and have 200 additional points, totaling 1,000 points in all. No woman is eligible who cannot make a "B" grade in posture. The girls who won the sweaters this year are: Marion Grieve, Iola Grue, Frances Harris, Wyona Hennings, Ethel Jacobsen, Helene Mere-dith, Elva Pilquist, Margaret Shudshift, and Dorothy Top. These girls won their sweaters through the old requirements. New requirements have been formulated and put into use for future years. They demand eleven first class team awards and four all star team awards. The applicant for the sweater must also be accepted by the W. A. A. council with a majority vote, upon the basis of several per-sonal standards including: regular sleep, food and. drink habits, suffi-cient exercise, no tobacco, drugs, or intoxicating liquor, cleanliness, and social relationship. The girls who receive sweaters are highly worthy of the honor. One Hundred Sicteen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 117 ---------- Flick Grue Representatives to Conference This year an unusual privilege was granted two girls of the W. A. A. Iola Grue, club president, and Theona Flick, Freshman representative, accompanied by Miss Ruth Weythman, head of the Women's Physical Education department, attended the Western division of the Athletic conference of American College Women at Los Angeles. The conference took place April eighth and ninth. The trip down proved to be an interesting part of the adventure. The girls wrote back to the school and told of their many new experi-ences, which, by the way, included close enough contact with a bear to take his picture. During the banquet on the last night, five schools were asked to respond to toasts. Iola Grue was among the five representa-tives. This is an honor not to be forgotten. The girls not only benefited personally while attending the confer-ence meetings, lectures and luncheons, but coming in contact with other representatives afforded excellent opportunities for the exchange of ideas. More such trips should be arranged, for they prove valuable to the school in that new ideas can be put into action. This is the first time in recent years that Bellingham has been represented at this conference, but it is hoped that it will not be the last.

All of these are under the direction of a capable leader, Miss Mary E. Rich, who is responsible for much of the success of the organization. The many schools have one objective in view, providing an opportunity for student teachers to apply theory to practical class room work, to become good teachers of children. Methods of teaching here get constructive criticism, criticism from a corps of competent teachers and supervisors who make their students adept teachers in their many fields of work. One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 120 ---------- STUDENT TEACHERS OF THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM Cryer, Frost, Christiansen, Rosenzweig, Voorhies, Myers Taylor, Anderson, Galvin, Smith, McLeod, Jensen, Palmer Goss, Deal, Abel, Johnson, Rosenzweig, Hoag The Primary Curriculum includes the kindergarten, the first, second and third grades of elementary schools. This year eighty-three teach-ers have been trained especially for that field. The Intermediate Cur-riculum, fourth, fifth and sixth grades, was chosen by seventy-five stu-dents. This differentiation of curricula is important for it means that the preparatory work of those students will be chosen for its influence on their ultimate goals. Not only the required but the elective subjects are chosen for additional benefit in practice, and practical teaching. They should also increase the efficiency for teaching special subjects, such as art, music or physical education. STUDENT TEACHERS OF THE INTERMEDIATE CURRICULUM Henderson, Kaeski, Dobbs, Peterson, Rock, Jacobson, Top, Apple Schubert, Frost, Garside, Logan, Johnson, Deets, Samuelson, Bright Neilson, Rasmuss, Morse, Kasperson, Davenport, Westhoff One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 121 ---------- STUDENT TEACHERS OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM Moultray, Anderson, Swanson, Kasperson, Top, Johnson, Hill, Brandt, Schoeffer, Jones Smith Lamoreaux, Chandler, Nyberg, Allen, Nelson, McBain Kelly, Shudshift, Price, Davis, Bowers, Watts, Barron. Another important Curriculum, that of the Junior High, which pre-pares for the seventh, eighth, or ninth grades, claimed one hundred thir- teen students this year. The Junior High School Curriculum is intended to make efficient teachers in a typical Junior High School or in the grammar grades. Electives here largely increase ability for departmental work. The -stu-dents taking Rural practice do it in representative rural schools, of one, two, three, or four rooms, and in this division also, electives are chosen to better equip the teachers, in this particular work. STUDENT TEACHERS OF THE RURAL SCHOOLS Abrahamson, Nelson, Borges, Nairn, Price Stroebel, Portrey, Cole, Porter One Hundred Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 122 ---------- Kindergarten First Grade Rhythms In the upper picture the kindergarten of the Campus School shows an excellent piece of work for development of social understanding. The children are playing, working, and living together, learning to think of others. They are planning and looking ahead in the common trend of everyday life where children are at home and others are marketing, or out for a stroll. Clearly, through actual experiences, the contacts and in-terdependences of the social world are being keenly impressed upon them. In the lower picture we find these first grade children of the Campus School giving their individual interpretations of a song, "Johnny at the Fair." This provides an excellent opportunity for child imagination and so we find one child out hunting, another a rocking horse and still an-other, a tree. This period is a regular class, but often, and with interest-ing results, the ideas are carried over into a rhythmic interpretation of the story hour. One Hundred Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 123 ---------- Indian Assembly Third Grade Laurel School Garden Unit The above picture is of an Indian Assembly given by the third grade of the Campus School. The first scene was of the Plains Indians, and the last, of Northwest Indians; this one is of those of the Southwest. The different scenes, here, a Hopi Indian home of adobe were painted by the children. They made the costumes and rug looms and the rugs for which they carded and spun the wool. They experimented with dying cloth with roots and bark. The girls made papooses and cradles, and all made tom-toms and rain rattles, so, with the reading of many Indian books and weekly councils, the project, which culminated in this assem-bly, was of a very definite educational value. The picture below is of second grade children in the Laurel School of the Meridian District. They were interested in knowing how plants grow and so tried a number of experiments with seeds, tubers and plants. They then wished they might have a real garden, and it offered so many possibilities in science, number, art, music, conversation, work, play, and outdoor fun, that the teacher was glad to follow their suggestion. In this picture they are measuring the ground which is to be spaded by the eighth grade boys when it is in the right condition. One Hundred Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 124 ---------- Fourth Grade Campus School Spelling Fifth Grade Assembly-Campus School In the above picture, fourth grade students of the Campus School demonstrate the correct writing position for speed and legibility as well as beauty of form. Position is adjusted to meet individual needs and dif-ferences, and the ultimamte goal is not a stiff copy of an original, but the optimum of the individual child. Each child has proper lighting and therefore uniform advantage in his work. The children here are writing words of the spelling lesson which are being dictated to them by a stu-dent teacher. In the picture below we see a colonial assembly which was the out-come of a study of our American Colonial life by the fifth grade of the Campus School. The assembly took the form of a museum, in which articles made or collected by the children were placed. They made the benches and pictures and decorated also with the four lovely coverlids, the spinning wheels and pots and pans representa-tive of those times. The action consisted of children going through the museum, some for the first time, and so through questions and conver-sation the story was brought out for the audience. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 125 ---------- Seventh Grade Boys-Campus School Sixth Grade Assembly Above we see seventh grade boys of the Campus School making Japa-nese houses, gardens, boats and temples. This activity was an outgrowth of a social science project in Japan. Some articles were produced from clay; others were carved from bars of soap. The boys were intensely interested and completely absorbed in their individual problems and the result of this study was a collection of many outstanding pieces of ama-teur sculpture. The sixth grade of the training school in the picture below presents the play "Gabriel and the Hour Book" which grew out of their study of the Middle Ages of European History in their social science class. This scene is in a scriptorium of a monastery of the fifteenth century where the hour book is being done in manuscript writing. The window was made in their art work and the pictures and desks, and designs on the desks as well. The dialogue of the play also was original and was com-posed by the children in their class periods. One Hundred Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 126 ---------- Eighth Grade Math Students Eighth Grade Industrial Arts Class In the cut above, the Campus School geometry class is shown meas-uring a point which, for their purpose, they have called inacessible. This is an indirect measurement problem and is based on their knowledge of congruent angles. The instruments used were made by the children themselves and, in spite of their crudeness, the results of their labor were very gratifying, as they later found ,by actual measurement of the sup-posedly inaccessible point, a mistake of only one foot. The eighth grade class in Industrial Arts, below, learns photography in the Campus School. They have learned to develop films, to print their own pictures, and to make enlargements of them. The work serves as a means of studying the photographic industries, the wide commercial uses of photography. One of their activities was making a photographic study of Bellingham industries, but here they are seen compounding their own solutions for their work, which is certainly prolific. One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1932 - Page 127 ---------- Seventh Grade-Roosevelt School First Grade-Washington School In the upper picture the seventh grade of the Roosevelt School has gone to Alabama Ridge on the Whatcom River for a better appreciation of the nature poems which they have been studying in an English class. The poems were about flowers, birds, water and trees, and after the trip, on which this picture was taken, more poems were studied and then some were read in an assembly. Later the poems about trees led the children to a tree planting ceremony. In the lower picture the first grade of the Washington School is shown working at a variety of things, though the main activity of this room is the group reading which is for the time, under direct guidance of the teacher. Some children are choosing books for themselves, others are already reading and two girls are putting names on a flower chart; at the easel they are illustrating stories and at the blackboards are draw-ing what they like. This is an ideal situation where children can work independently and individual differences care for.

This contest, the first of its kind, was sponsored by the Northwest Viking, and has created wide interest throughout the school. Miss O'Donnell may well carry such a title, being representative of the best in all phases of activities in the school, and possessing high qualities of personality, non-curricular interests, and popularity. Miss O'Donnell has shown fine initiative and leadership in every-thing she has chosen to do. She has held a number of responsible posi-tions since her entrance in the school. She was elected vice-president of the Associated Students spring quarter last year, but resigned that position, as she was unable to remain in school during the summer term, and upon returning to school in the fall, she was elected four quarter rep-resentative to the Board of Control. She is president of the Valkyrie, Girls' Pep club, a member of the Philos, W. A. A., and the Drama Club, doing excellent work in dramatic productions. Contributing to a close competitive contest were four other favorites for the final election, Nellie Cox, Helen Edgar, Dorothy Fiala, and Vaughn Howell. Undoubtedly, in accordance with the qualifications set by the com-mittee of the faculty and students in charge, the contestants are all out-standing examples of a truly "Representative Co-ed."
