Where music is, where lights Ever burn, Where perfumes of sweet nights Turn on turn Flood the earth, 'tis there the soul Wakes and sings Like a skylark with no goal But swift wings. Art is a steady light, A sweet song, A flower of delight Borne along By white hands in the dark Toward that sea Where all men shall embark And be free.

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. Eleven Eleven ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 12 ---------- KI LIPSUNV 'W Trail FIRST PRIZE POEM EVA SANTEE Currant leaves, cedar trees, hazel bush, and pussy willow, Maple vine, white pine, hemlock bark of red, Dogwood and cottonwood, mountain ash and larkspur, Juicy, acrid bloodroot -- then, a gentle tread In forest deep on yonder trail when day is done! 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. Sixty-three ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 64 ---------- .. K. IPSUN 'e Training School The work in the Training School this year has lived up to its already- established high reputation. 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.

The next games Coach Whittaker took the boys out of their class and put them up against the Whatcom High Freshmen.

Sponsor THE REVELATIONS OF THE ALETHEIAN SOCIETY In the beginning was a synagogue for teachers on a hill, and the synogogue was without life and a gloom was upon the faces of all therein. 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.

Many meeting have been devoted to war work, combined with music, readings, and "spreads." The "spread" at Miss Earhart's apartments deserves honorable mention. The Club adopted a little French war orphan, and have re-ceived many interesting letters concerning her. To its faculty members the club gives credit for anything of value which it has been able to accomplish this year.

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. 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."

There were also the many boat rides on the lake itself, which have an especial attraction for those who have no opportunity to enjoy such privileges at home in Eastern Washington.

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.

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. A flower is but a weed So placed that bloom and beauty Lift themselves above the common stalk and clay To show unfathomed depths divine in life. The mission of the flower is beauty, Of the weed, a misspent life; One is misshapen, vile and low of purpose, The other is of the ethereal wealth of the universe.

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.

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.

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.

Do you ne'er tire of granting our wishes, Or piercing the dusk with your first gleam of light? All that I wish is a soul like the sunshine That leaves, when departing, a warm, friendly glow; And after the shadows have deepened around me, May I rise with the sunbeams, some brightness to show? Dusk HONORABLE MENTION COMAY CRAVER When the dew is on the rose And the sun to slumber goes, Then a calm is over me,. For the close of day I see. Quiet dusk doth close my eyes And memories of the day arise, Then my heart doth feel a prayer And the breath of God is there. So I feel that He is here And there is naught on earth to fear, But in the twilight He doth stand To guard us sleepers with His hand. And that is why the sweet repose Comes when the dew is on the rose. One hundred thirty-four _ ~ I \ ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 135 ---------- -KLIPSUN Sept. 16-Alas! some of us lose our way!

One hundred forty ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 141 ---------- E KKLIPSU N Among Our Visitors BESS GEARHART MORRISON One of the most delightful evenings of the year was spent November 26, when Mrs. Bess Gearhart Morrison, one of America's distinguished readers in Chautauqua and lyceum work, enter-tained with readings in the auditorium. 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. One hundred forty-two ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 143 ---------- KLI PSUN THLhTIC O _- One hundred forty-three ---------- Klipsun, 1919 - Page 144 ---------- KKLIPSUNP Basketball - Men Because most of the Normal students were in the service, Coach Carver could not put a regular basketball team in the field this year. 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.

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.

Snaps 23 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 24 ---------- Rainr on Oreas By GLENN HU(;HES Rain in the islands, With the black clouds flying. And the fast faint spots of sunlight fading on the sea. 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.

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.

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 Â®r 121 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 122 ---------- SEATTLE CLUB The Seattle Club was organized early in the fall of 1917 as a social club.

Fern Litterneau The club is very grateful for the faithful and willing services of Miss Morse. The first event of the year was a contribution to the College Club program. It was a drama in "Three acts." Everyone will remember the changing of scenery. Just before Thanksgiving the club gave a Kid Party. 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.

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.

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.

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..

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.......

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.

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.

"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.

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.

Fourth: To Miss Wilson, we give a case of Lethe water, that she may forget the call number of her thoughts upon retiring; a fumigator, and her choice of new books, with a special provision to not put them all on the one day shelf. We leave in the hands of Miss Wilson's evening assistant, a re-ception room for the use of lovers and salamanders, so that those wishing to use the general library for the purpose of study after 7 p. m., will not seem to intrude. Fifth: To those becoming ill during examinations we recommend Miss Meade and her favorite prescription.

Eleventh: To our successors, we leave an augumented collection of the speakers who bored us in Assembly, with direction on how to appear interest-ed while preparing the lesson which followed. 224 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 225 ---------- Twelfth: To Miss Beardsley, we leave Forebel's Kindergarten Princi-ples, by Kirkpatrick, and urge that it be studied diligently: "Nous laissons par testament, beaucoup de bonne salnte, toute notre amour, et ci desire-ci; qu'elle conserve nous un peu de souvenir et de bienveillance que nous conservons lui." Thirteenth: To those who come after us, we leave our beautiful grounds. the campus free from unsightliness, and admonish our successors to "Follow in our footsteps." Fifteenth: To Miss Druse, we leave our love and appreciation, and a little volumne containing a complimentary sentence from each member of the class, to be read by her only when at leisure, if that time ever comes. Sixteenth: To Miss Keeler, we leave the whole world with the exception of Whatcom County. Seventeenth: To Miss McCarthy, Just as much love, and a little bit more than has ever been left to her before. Eighteenth: To Mr. Klemme, we leave a chestnut colored toupee, to save him the trouble of adjusting his "Fan."

Twentieth: To Miss Boring, just a hint of the love and esteem in which she is held by every member of the class. Twenty- first: To Mr. Hoppe, we leave a box of pacifiers to be distrib-uted by him among his country audiences, so he may not be annoyed by the munching of pop corn while making a speech.

Twenty-third: To Mr. Coughlin, we give our love and best wishes; a storage battery for receiving the pep given off by him in his classes, the afore mentioned pep to be distributed among Miss Crawford's cadets. Twenty-fourth: To Miss Morse, we leave a paradise for her sunny dis-position. Twenty-fifth: We disinherit Miss Edens, because anything bestowed upon her would be "censored." Twenty-sixth: To Miss Summer, we leave our congratulations for the success of her production of "Quality Street;" we bequeath also, a motor truck, a search warrant, and a police star, so that she may go the limit when looking for scenery for stage settings. 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. We, one and all, leave our love; our assurance of loyalty and lasting friendship; our appreciation of his high ideals and excellent principles; a long and happy service as president of the Normal School. 225 ---------- Klipsun, 1918 - Page 226 ---------- Article VII We of the Senior Class appoint Dr. Nash, President of the Bellingharr Normal School, County of Whatcom, State of Washington, U.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. EÂ£ 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 .............................. Kenneth Tunstall Chrysos, art patron............ ........... ....................... Elm er W ebster Mimos, slave to Pygmalion .........................

Iva Larsen Stage D irector ................................................................ ............. M rs. 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. DE ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 256 ---------- STUDENTS! We wish to recommend to you the firms whose adw rtisements appear under this cover.

While inspecting examination papers recently, a teacher found various humorous answers to ques-tions. A class of boys, averaging twelve years of age, had been ex-amined in geography. The previ-ous day had been devoted to gram-mar. Amongst the geographical questions was the following: "Name the Zones." One promising youth who had mixed the two subjects, wrote- "There are two Zones, masculine and feminine. The masculine is either temperate or intemperate, the feminine is either torrid or frigid."-(Ex.) HAPPY THOUGHTS. "The clock was fifteen minutes slow." "Just missed a car."

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.

Refreshments, consisting of green and white brick ice cream, proudly bearing an Irish flag, cake and marshmallows, were served at a late hour, the Sophomores declaring a better time was not to be found in Bellingham.

We have a right, as a class, to commend them on their good sportsman-ship."

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 â€¢" , 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."

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. GERTRUDe KAUFMAN, Editor. 141 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 142 ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 Klohoya Club 142 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 143 ---------- KLOHOYA SOCIETY Work, work, work, Till the brain begins to swim, Work, work, work, Till the eyes are heavy and dim." 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. Coffee Nuts Mints Miss Pierce, the president, introduced Miss Maimee Davis as toastmistress at the conclusion of the banquet. Each toast was founded on the Scripture reference: "I am the vine and my Father is the husbandman."-John 15:I. The Vine - - - - - - Bertha Vol Nagel The Branches - - - - Henrietta Welsh The Roots - - - Isabel Cuthbertson Sap - - - - - - - Nellie Balch Solo - - - - - - Miss Effie Sands The Leaves - - - - - Stella Goyne Tendrils - - - - - - Alice Lund Fruit - - - - - - Beatrice Bair ('14) The Husbandman - - - - Alma Armstrong Much benefit was derived from the evening's entertainment, and the assurance that the life worth living is the branch growing out of the true vine, was more deeply impressed upon all present. 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. "The Girls" - - - Walter Kelly "The Boys" - - Ruth Conner Thespian Lyrics in Parody - - Margaret Bressler "Smiles" - - Jettie Jones Solo, "Just Because" - - - Jettie Jones Response - - - - - - Miss Rose Baxter Solo, "Mighty Lak' a Rose" - - Louise Buchanan "Things for Which We Should Count Ourselves Fortunate" - - - - Delbert Hennes Mr. Louis Brown then came forth to distribute interesting packages from beneath the Christmas tree and the heart of each was made glad by a simple gift-for example, Miss Wilson took de-light in a horn with a bell attachment. 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. Meyerbeer (b) Der Tod und das Madchen - Schubert (c) Fruchlingsnacht - - - - Schumann Mine. Hesse-Sprotte. "Prince Chap" - - - - Edward Peebles Mr. Hoppe.

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. Mrs. Thatcher deserves much credit for her untiring efforts ais director, and grateful appreciaticn is extended to IMrs. Cross, to Mrs. Engherg and her orchestra, and to the foi'owing who so ably filled the solo parts: Mrs. )ceerwester, soprano; Mrs. Colby, con-tralto; Mr. Harrison Raymond, tenor; Mr. John Van lPelt, baritone.

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.

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.

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. Bixhy; for distance, Muller, Boggan; for shot put, Muller, Shidler, Bay; for discus, Bay, Smith, Beardsley; for hurdles, Breakey, E. Shidler; 220 and 440-yard dash, Breakey, Shidler, B.

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? The stunts that he does are darish. He's one of the four, And we always want more When he sings those songs so rarish. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 225 ---------- Miss Wilson hangs out in the library. You don't dare to be contrary. But look at her eyes And you'll have a surprise. There's a twinkle in there, by Harry! I tell you Miss Jensen talks fast, And the things she tells you are vast. If you're in the front row You sure ought to know All your lesson from first to last. Oh, surely you know Mr. Hoppe; His expression is always tip-toppy. His voice is so sweet; He has dear little feet. H e certainly is a fine chappy.. As a teacher Miss Sumner is clever. Wle never had one like her, no, never. 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. S. can tell weird stories of a time when Miss Hays, Mrs. Termaat and Miss Mead all chewed gum and wore a broad hair ribbon. Horrors! Can it be possible? 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. IGNORANCE Nat Mount (who has gone into a restaurant without his glasses)-Waiter, will you kindly read the menu for me? Waiter (with a suppressed giggle)-Sorry, sir, but I can't read, either. SUNG BY A JUNIOR TO A SENIOR The letters we get, And you better bet We acquired the rep Of having some pep. Maybe, Seniors, you dont' know it, Or think that we dont show it. But we're all cheered iup Though we didn't get the cup! E. A. Art Griffin (on a rainy day)-Your hair is coming down. June (upon investigation)--'Tis false. ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 228 ---------- THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW 1. How far the Dorm. girls went on their sleighride? 2. When some Seniors intend to grow up? 3. How Miss Gray and Miss Cummins can afford so much popcorn? 4. Where Dab Hennes got his vocabulary? 5. When Ruth Conner finds time to sleep? 6.

How Miss Baxter had the nerve to tell us about her head? Mary Jane-My roommate has been sleeping all day. "Let her sleep, she needs it." "Yes, but she isn't very entertaining." _7~ ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 229 ---------- WHAT WOULD HAPPEN-- IF Miss Baxter forgot her points? IF Mr. Moodie stopped smiling? IF the Juniors all paid their dues? IF Miss Hays lost her dignity? IF there were enough boys to go around? IF Mr. Thompson forgot how to count? IF Mary Jane acted grown up? IF Mr. Bever had nothing to say? IF we all skipped school? IF Miss Sperry lost her printed Eng. outline? IF Miss Sumner gave us a reading? IF Miss Mead found out who made the "Summer School Nurse?" TO Mary Jane and Mayme Martin if Miss Mead was not good natured? IF we should dance in the Normal gym? IF we had a real Senior Ball? HEARD IN SENIOR CLASS MEETING Senior (hearing Mr. Rowe whistling and singing)-Oh, isn't he the happiest for a married man you ever saw? Dab Hennes (after being nominated for president of Senior class) I move the nominations be closed. 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!" "Miss McCown spent 34c today." 229 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [230] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 MOUNT BAKER AND THE SOUND [230] ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 231 ---------- BY WAY OF SUGGESTION To Senior classes who wish to leave some gift for the school we offer the following suggestions as things that will be appre-ciated by all students: A clock for the reading room that is guaranteed to run. 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?" "A Nat." "What are you going to do with him?" "Mount it." "Mamma," asked little Mabel, "what does transatlantic mean?" "It means 'across the Atlantic,'" replied her mother. " '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." Helen Peterson-Aw, that's nothin', look at mine," and she pointed to the word "Help!" Frank Deerwester (at Senior party)-So you spell your name b-e-a-u-t-y, Miss Vollmer? Miss Vollmer-No, rather j-o-k-e." Red Miller-Do you think we had better stand so close to-gether in this picture? Red Beardslee-No, we might blur it. GOOD WARNING Algy-I don't want you to wash my face. Grandma-Why, I've washed my face three times a (lay ever since I was a little girl. Algy-Yes, and just see how it's shrunk! 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. "I do a high diving act." 233 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page [234] ---------- 1915 Klipsun 1916 WINTER AND SPRING ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 235 ---------- WELL POSTED "Father," said a boy of twelve, "who was Shylock?" "What!" exclaimed his father. "Have I sent you to Sunday school for the past six or seven years only to have you ask me who Shylock was. Shame on you! Get your Bible and find out this minute." The hen stood on the river's bank And gave her college cry, Until a frog, in pained surprise, Politely asked her why. She said, "Kind sir, you see that duck Out there upon the water. Well, that's a winning college crew, And Il her Alma Mater." (DIPPY.) "Tom," said the teacher, "stay in after school and write a composition of fifty words." Tom handed in the following and was soon cn his way to the ball field: "Jessie was fond of kittens. She saw one on the road and called, here pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy." Mrs. Thatcher (looking over Miss Willoughby's flower-be-decked office)-It looks like a greenhouse in here. Miss Willoughby-Yes, in more ways than one. Miss Baxter (outlining consciousness)-We have heads and subheads until our heads are swimming in subheads. Florence Lynch--I saw such a devoted couple this afternoon. He was just carrying her up the street. Merry Christmas-Oh, wasn't that touching? Florence-It certainly was. 235 235 ---------- Klipsun, 1916 - Page 236 ---------- DEFINITIONS WE ALL SHOULD LIVE UP TO Approved Customs: ,Those hard and fast rules that we religiously don't live up to.

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, Follow
