This vol-ume embodies an attempt to interpret a chapter of school life; to picture things as they were in nineteen twenty-eight and nineteen twenty-nine. ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [6] ---------- PRESIDENT C.

Today's students here offer a challenge to the class assembled twenty-five years hence to surpass the achievement of today. To that class of 1954 we respect-fully dedicate this yearbook. ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [7] ---------- CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES STUDENT ORGANIZATION TRAINING SCHOOL SCHOOL LIFE ATHLETICS SOCIETY ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [8] ---------- [no text this page] ---------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [9] ---------- ti"ii -~ 3 -i «~14-il, y , i s lt; y Y lt;. w1 ''j n~s j .rJ i) ' ; ~'".~i S I~% - ~V~kPl L ~~ -- c ;,;9::"- ...- :- V,,~ .;"' ":I.-I:..... ." -"-: '" -" ".s # s ae " ' gt; F1 gt;. i"~r r;%~~ i" ,, s ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [10] ---------- * ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page [11] ---------- Far above the bay's blue waters stands our own Sehome, Guarded all around by mountains, crowned by Baker's dome.

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

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

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

There was a change of management at the end of the winter quarter when Barney Chichester succeeded Harry Appleton as business manager, Dolly Anderson then taking Barney's place as editor. This year a much sought-for honor was accorded the Viking, when it received recognition in a nation-wide contest for school papers. The editors may be justly proud of their work, and the school proud of both. Sixty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 66 ---------- Red Arrow The Red Arrow is a literary magazine published quarterly by the Scribes' Club and outside contributors. It gives the students an oppor-tunity for criticism of one another's work, and, for those who write, the chance for expression of those fleeting thoughts that may only be caught now and then, and are so seldom found on paper. This year the "Whoopee" number, published in the winter quarter, was very popular with the students. The material in the magazine is of several types-prose and poetry, serious and humorous, of varying ex-cellence, but of interest to all fellow-students. FALL QUARTER JANE L'EVEQUE .

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rain hindered the early season practice, just when the early work would be of the most benefit. Rain caused the Viking coaches to post-pone the first game of the season with St. Martin's College on April 13. On April 20, the game with the University of Washington Varsity had to be dropped because of the crying tendencies of Old Jupe Pluvius. During the following week, good weather prevailed until Saturday, April the twenty-seventh, when the weather again threatened to stop the game between the Norsemen and the Freshman team from the U. of W. Following the Frosh game, the Viking schedule was all shot to pieces due to the cancelling of two games with Centralia Junior College, and the games with Cheney Normal. With the Freshmen out of the way, St. Martin's was next on the list. After disposing of the Rangers, the Vikings journeyed to Ellensburg to tangle with the Wildcats. Then remained only the return games with the Frosh and St. Martin's diamond aggregations. One Hundred Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 126 ---------- Front Row: Carboneau, Howell, Rajala, Bright, Axelson, Cole Second Row: Beckes, Brinkman, Oberlatz, Hemmi, Davis Third Row: Eagan, Chichester, Cox, Bey, Kaas, Erickson Track Four meets were scheduled for the Viking cinder artists during the season of 1929. The first of these meets was at Seattle on May 4, when Coach Carver sent a med-ley relay team to participate in the Washington Relay Carnival. The second meet came on Wed-nesday, May eighth, also at Se-attle, where the Viking team met the University of Washington Freshmen. Following the Freshman meet, the College of Puget Sound sent a team to Bellingham to attempt another defeat of the Vikings. The meet with C. P. S. was expected to be a hard and close one, with the visitors as the favorites. With the first three meets out of the way, the fourth came along on the twenty-fourth of May. This time the Norsemen traveled all the way across the state to Cheney, where they entered the Tri-Nor-mal meet. At the very first of the season, track prospects were good for a well-balanced squad. It looked as if there were plenty of weight men in school to go along with the runners. Later it developed that the weight men were falling far short of early expectations. Outstanding in their track and field work are: Erickson, who is getting his javelin out over 180 feet, and is doing a little over One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 127 ---------- Arnett Axelson Bey Bright Brinkman nineteen feet in the broad-jump; Carboneau, who is doing the mile in about 4'40"2; Bey, in the pole-vault is getting right up in the air; and the sprinters are led by vet-eran Earl Hemmi. Bright, who is last year's record holder of the mile event, is still in champion-ship form, and promises to make things for any competition. In the middle distances, Howell, Axelson, and Eagan are the lead-ing contenders, while Brinkman is going strong in the two-mile event. Looking ahead into the latter part 'of the season, it might be safe to say that Viking hopes for championship are brighter than they have been for several sea-sons.

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

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

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

Before securing a coveted place on the class teams, each member was required to pass a rigid test with a grade of B or better. The Freshmen, backed by the stellar playing of Sue McMillan and Berdette Harter at center, won the interclass championship. The games were 30-25 and 21-19 at the close of the contest.

The intramural series was played off between the Servites, Stretchers, Parameciums, and Net Nymphs. Although the competi-tion was fired and keen, the Net Nymphs won the series undefeated. In the interclass games, a series of six games was played. The Sophomores won all the honors of the volleyball court, taking every interclass game on the season's schedule.

The great deal of enthusiasm with which the girls turn out for this sport verifies its popularity. The game is based on speed. The girls learned rapidly the tactics of getting the ball down the field in the least amount of time. Baseball "Batter up!" Thus were many exciting games started during the baseball season. Many of the or-ganized houses formed teams and a series of games were played off. This gave many more girls the op-portunity to play than is afforded by the regular turnout. The classes were tied for honors when the yearbook went to press. SOLLIE A PRACTICE GAME Head of Sport One Hundred Thirty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1929 - Page 136 ---------- Dancing at Fairhaven Park Natural Dancing One of the most popular recrea-tional activities as well as a regu-lar Physical Education subject is Natural Dancing. The aims are to develop grace-ful movements and body poise through a natural, enjoyable means. Each spring the girls exhibit the work they have done in Natur-al Dancing in a dance program. Miss Dozier has done much to help develop a keen appreciation of natural beauty in dancing. Hiking "There's a long, long trail a-winding Into the land of my dreams..." Our hiker sings these lines and smiles contentedly, as memory brings back pictures ever filled with fascination. Once again, with happy comrades, she follows Miss George over the trail, (winding through mid-Autumn's warm, sun-lit forest, while leaves of russet, burnt-orange, and gold are rust-ling and dancing around her feet. In winter, the trail leads through fairy wonders untold, for Jack Frost has draped trees, bush-es, and ferns in fluffy, white lace, glittering and sparkling where the sunlight reaches. How quiet the woodland seems now! With spring, comes the thought of Mt. Constitution. When once on its summit, the hiker imagines the Sound, dotted with number-less islands, truly tilted on edge, all for her to behold. Wherever she be, on Mt. Baker's still snows, or by windswept Puget Sound with its waves dash-ing high, the hiker learns to know Nature. She scarcely needs think of the All-Star Hiking Team as an incentive when Saturday comes. She is heartily glad that these wonderful hikes are for ev-ery girl in school!

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

The work of the classroom and the activities outside the classroom are planned to promote the growth of individual students. The spirit of give and take and of coopera-tion between students and faculty are necessary factors in a liberalizing edu-cation. The program of the school is based upon the belief that it is the spirit that giveth life. It is a working principle with us that children in the schools are entitled to teachers with forceful, free and growing personalities. This school, situated in the midst of challenging mountains and the beckon-ing sea, constantly stirs up new aspira-tions. May the memories of days spent here ever be a source of inspiration PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER for further growth in service and living. Three individuals hold the tides of fate in their hands when the student enters school. They control and advise concerning courses, classes, room and board, and all the essential features of the student's life. These are James Bever, Dean of the School; W. J. Marquis, Dean of Men, and Adele Jones, Dean of Women, the directors who are "seen" about so many of the school's activities. DEAN BEVER DEAN JONES DEAN MARQUIS Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 18 ---------- MILLER KIBBE KEELER KOLSTAD MARQUIS SALISBURY LEDTICAT IO Psychology and its application to living, studying, and teaching is sponsored by the Department of Education. The genetic point of view is taken and courses worked out which bear upon the problems of education. A broad outlook on the past of education and its significant bearing upon the present, as well as the contributions of modern sociology, science, and philosophy to the development of an intelligent point of view on present problems in the teaching field, are given in the History and Philosophy of Education. PHYSICAL EDUCATIOH Women must enroll in physical education each quarter. The courses offered and required are: physical education 1, folk dancing, plays and games, swimming, organization and administration of health education, and natural dancing. Men are required to take eight credit hours of physical education before graduation. Two hours may be made by playing on school teams. PETERS KELLER CARVER BOWEN MEAD Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 19 ---------- FOWLER EDENS SPERRY ULLIN MADDEN HOPPE LNGL ISH, ELXPRESSION The English Department attempts to stimulate intellectual curiosity, and to deepen and enrich appreciations of life values through a consideration of some of the great writers and thinkers of all times. It also tries to test and improve students' ability to write and speak their own vernacular. The principle of teaching students to read effectively and speak clearly and to develop self-expression is held by the Speech Department as its aim in a required speech course. It offers as well, debating, play production and psychology of speech. Regular college work in foreign languages is given, with special stress placed on the spoken idiom. LIIRAJR efTAFF, IDlHIAI S I Library Instruction is required of all freshmen. The aim of this course is to give students a method of attack in a library so that they may independently do research work when they go into practical teaching. All students whose hand writing does not come up to standard are required to take a course in penmanship. Before a diploma is granted, and before work in the training school is permitted, the requirement must be met, GRAGG RICE WILSON GEORGE TREAT EWELL Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 20 ---------- PHILIPPI SUNDQUIST ROSENE PLATT LONGLEY COUNTRYMAN CIEHCL, IIHOIEL LCOHOMICS A general science orientation course is required of all freshmen. This gives the student sufficient background to place man in his relation to nature. Special courses are offered for those interested in advanced work in the lines of science. The courses of the Home Economics Department are given mainly for those who intend to teach this subject in the grades. Foods, cookery, nutrition, household management, dressmaking and a course on Home Economics Education are offered. fOCIIAML TFI@IAS IENCL HICOYFGIh In the Department of Social Science are taught economics, geography, history, political science and world economy. Work is taken up, for the most part, in a manner that will be of aid to the future teacher. A course in hygiene is given for prospective teachers in that line. Each curriculum has its required course in mathematics. All work is taken up from a teacher-training point of view. WILLIAMS BEVER CUMMINS ARNTZEN HUNT JOHNSON BOND Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 21 ---------- BREAKEY PLYMPTON SLAWSON SMITH MOORE FITNE iARTcS, HII[IIC Technical skill in the teaching of arts in grade school is the chief aim of the Art Department. A standard of appreciation and judgement of beauty and practical taste is set up by the department. In the Music Department such courses as the following are offered, largely with the teacher's aim in view: sight singing, appreciation, chorus, orchestra, music history, class conduction. INDUSTRIAL ARTS, TYPING In a special building and with special equipment, Industrial Arts is offered as a comprehensive course for those expecting to teach in that field from elementary to senior high school work. The fundamental principles of touch typing are taught to enable the student to become efficient enough to use a typewriter for his own purposes. RUCKMICK MANY RINDAL BISSELL LOVEGREN Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 22 ---------- 'TRAINIHG SCHOOL Every prospective teacher must pass through the Training Schcol before he receives a diploma which qualifies him to teach. In this laboratory of education he has many contacts: through courses in Technique he beccmes familiar with actual class-room method and management; he observes expert teaching; class recitations; students at work and at play.

Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 23 ---------- 6THE OFFICE FORCE Without the administrative officers and their assistants the school could not function. The centralization of all busi-ness, finance, and registration, other than that purely executive, is in the Registrar's Office. Permanent records of former Nor-mal students, as well as other student in- formation, are available here. Margaret McKinnon, who is the Nor-mal school accountant, has full charge of all school finance; Mrs. Edith Banner is Miss McKinnon's accounting assistant, and Olive Gunderson is the Recorder. She keeps all permanent records of the grades, receives transfer grades from other col-leges, grades from high schools, and sends out the quarterly reports. Other offices of the school which handle a great deal of executive work are of the Dean of Women; of the Training School, and of the Library. Charlotte Brigham is the Secretary of Mary Rich, Director of the Training School. Kathleen O'Malley is the school nurse assistant. She lives at Edens Hall, conveniently placed for emergency illness calls from the organized houses. Bertha Weber is active in the Research Department; Polly Learnard is President Fisher's private sec-retary. Dean James Bever's secretary, Bertha Sundeen, checks students for graduation, scholarships, and absences. Elizabeth Hopper is the appointment secretary, It is through her hands that all teaching positions of Normal students are made. Gladys Parr is Secretary to Dean Jones, and Mary Hoyer is the switch board oper-ator in the Main Office. Mary Ringer is circulating librarian and Mrs. Irene Lieske is the Assistant Librarion.

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

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

About the middle of the fall quarter, under the leadership of several first quarter freshmen, the debate club, "Gavel and Pul-pit" was formed. Its purpose was to encourage debate and public speaking in the school, also to sponsor the intra-mural debate tournament. Sufficient material turned out to make ty students answered both a men's and a the call of the fall women's team. In the quarter.

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

Opponents 38 STICKNEY Four games won, two games lost; seventy- seven points scored as against thirty-eight points for its opponents-that is the record for the Vikings Varsity grid squad for the 1927 season. The season may be considered a successful one, but not highly successful, for the Tri-Nor-mal championship went to Ellensburg when the SWildcats took the Homecoming game on Novem-ber 5, 12 to 6. The second defeat was suffered when the U. of W. Frosh ran off with the long end of the score on Denny Field in Seattle. THOMPSON Coach Sam Carver and Assistant Coach Earl Jewell sent out the initial football call for Monday, September 19th, a week previous to the starting of school. Twenty men answered the first call, but at the start of school, forty men were out in suits. MOLYNEUX One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 117 ---------- Nine lettermen were in the lot, and around these, the task of molding the Viking football team was centered. The prospects were sent through a gruelling grind, and it didn't take long for the men to show the results of training. The daily work consisted in charging, setting up exercises, and tackling the dummy. The line in particular looked strong, while the molding of a backfield combination seemed to be Coach Sam Carver's trouble. VIKINGS 31--WEST SEATTLE ATHLETIC CLUB 0 In the opening game of the season, Belling-ham Normal ran rough shod over the West Seattle WEBER Athletic Club, to the tune of 31 to 0. Only two and one-half minutes were required by the Vikings to shove the pigskin over the goal line. HYDE A blocked punt, recovered by Winnie Iverson, husky Viking guard, placed the ball on West Seattle's 25 yard line. A pass, Weber" to Thomp-son, netted 20 yards, and from the five yard line, Hawkings plunged the ball over. Bill Wanamaker figured. in on the next touchdown by blocking a punt, and with a few plays, the ball was placed on West Seattle's 15 yard line. Another pass, Web-er to Thompson, put the ball across the goal. Twice more, the Vikings scored. Armstrong broke lose EDMUNDSON One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 118 ---------- for a long run which set everyone in a frenzy. It was not only his pretty foot work but also the rythmic blocking of his team mates that contribut-ed toward the scoring of the touchdown. Only once did West Seattle threaten, and that was when they passed up to the one yard line, but here the Vikings put up their characteristic fight and held West Seattle in practically the same place for four successive downs. VIKINGS 6-CHENEY 0 AT CHENEY For three successive periods, Bellingham and ARMSTRONG Cheney went scoreless, but a determined attack on the part of the Vikings in the final moments of play defeated the Savages by a score of 6 to 0. Several times, the Vikings worked the ball up to within scoring distance, but seemed to lack the necessary punch to put the ball across. Captain Harold Hawkings heaved a pass to Thompson, REEVES which placed the ball on the 12 yard line. From here, the forward wall opened up and gave all it had so that the necessary touchdown could be gained. Oscar Thorsen, Molyneux and Eddie Hyde were the outstanding performers of the fray. VIKINGS 7-U. of W. FROSH 13 at SEATTLE Failure to cope with the University Fresh-men's aerial attack was the main cause for the Vikings loss of this game. The Vikings came back in the fourth quarter with an aerial attack that swept the Frosh off their feet, with Erickson passing to Armstrong. No less than eight succes-sive passes were completed, which is a record in itself. The ball was put across the goal line, ERICKSON One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 119 ---------- and Hawkings drop-kicked for the extra point. After this touchdown, the Vikings went on with the same kind of game, but it was too late, and the game ended with the score standing 13 to 7 in favor of the Fresh. Occie Thorsen played excep-tional ball, stopping plays in their tracks and spilling interference at will. VIKINGS 20-ST. MARTINS 7 ON WALDO FIELD A plunging, charging, Viking football team displayed the greatest offensive power of the seascn when they swept to a brilliant 20 to 7 victory over the St. Martin's eleven, in a bone crushing contest that afforded the capacity gath-ering of spectators many thrills. Coach Sam Car-ver's pets kicked over the proverbial dope bucket, spilling its contents over the sloppy gridiron, by mudding, plunging and passing their way through a bewildered Lacey aggregation, for, GALLENGER three touchdowns and one safety. After perform-ing well, Molyneux, Weber and Erickson were taken from the fray with injuries. Cox played a brilliant game at end, nabbing several difficult passes. VIKINGS 6-ELLENSBURG 12 In this Ellensburg clash, the game Carver and his pets had been pointing towards all year, IVERSON the outstanding play of Vick Peterson, Wildcat safety man, with the end runs of "Tex" Robinson, caused Bellingham's downfall, in the second half. In this fray, as in all other games, the Viking line play was outstanding. Bill Wanamaker was a tower of strength on the forward wall, playing from the tackle position. The game that the Vik-ings had pointed towards was lost by a score of 12 to 6. CHAMBERLAIN One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 120 ---------- VIKINGS 7-U. of W. SUPER VARSITY 6 A beautifully executed place kick by Leslie Cox gave the Vikings the one point margin that was necessary to win from the University men. A blocked punt put the ball on the Super's 21 yard line. Here Hawkings passed to Armstrong, who wrig-gled his way to the five yard line. Cox Another successful pass put the ball on the one yard line. Chuck Erickson took the ball across the goal line. The U. of W. gridders broke through on one of Chuck Erickson's punts to block it. From the twelve yard line, they carried it across for their lone touchdown.

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

LANLLALL The Viking baseball men have been performing nobly on the diamond and the way things look now, it seems that Bellingham Normal will be represented by a versatile ball club. The return to school of two of last year's veterans, Ray Odell and Eddie Wingard, second baseman and chucker respectively, greatly encouraged Earl Jewell, who is coaching baseball, while Carver is looking after his track duties. At the time of this writing, the Viking diamond men have whitewashed several high school teams, and if they click the old horsehide at the present clip, they should have no trouble in winning the Tri-Normal Cham-pionship. Batteries for the games will consist of "Bush" Smith, behind the plate, and Eddie Wingard and "Granny" Thorlakson, doing the hurling. Both these men are dangerous with the club and, while they are performing in the box, will possibly resume duties in other parts of the field. With Thorsen at first base, Odell at second, Zeke McClurken at short, and Pinky Parker at the hot corner, a fast infield combination will be worked up before the season is over. Parker seems to be the weak spot at this time, but he is a hard worker and should have no trouble in overcoming his difficulties. Johnson, Clarke, and Bailey, all good wielders of the stick, will resume fly chasing responsibilities. Many other men are out working hard for posi-tions but at the present time, this seems to be the team that will represent the Normal on the 1928 diamond in the Tri-Normal games and other tilts with minor colleges of the state.

TIRACL Coach Sam Carver seems to be well pleased with his men at this stage of the season and chances to win the Tri-Normal meet seem excellent. Both Ellens-burg and Cheney are totally unknown quantities so far, but as Viking athletes now are far superior to last year's title-holders, the locals should walk off with Tri-Normal honors. Although weak in the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and hurdles, Coach Carver's 1928 track team is unusually good in other events. Five letter-winners of former years are leading the pack of aspiring heroes, which includes numerous unknowns and young hopefuls. Earl Hemmi, Bob Cox, and Ben Hamilton, star sprinters, should give Normal the strongest combination in the short runs that it has had for years. All three are exceptionally fast men and have had much experience. Bill Reeves, 440 yard man is good but at present his chief difficulty is getting into condition. If he is able to round himself into shape, he should be a sure point getter in this year's meet. Frank Gallanger, winner of the half-mile run last year is out again, and should win this year. Tinval Brinkman, who hails from Ferndale, looks at this time to be the best man in the distances, with Ray Jewell running a close second. Roy Arnett, last year's best discus hurler in the Tri-Normal meet, will have to step on it to take first in this event this year as he will now be in faster company. Oscar Thorsen is out throwing the plate around, and at the rate he is progressing should win a place in the Tri-Normal meet. Ray Jewell is the best in the shot. "Chuck" Erickson, winner of last year's javelin throw at the State High School meet, should have no difficulty in that event and should take first place in the Tri- Normal meet with ease. The big meet of the year is at Ellensburg, where the three Normal Schools will vie with each other for Tri-Normal supremacy, Cheney, Ellensburg and Bellingham competing. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 129 ---------- With two veterans back and much untested material out for the Normal tennis team, strength at first and second place is assured but the strength of the Viking third will be doubtful, considering the performance of those out for the third post. Fisher and Thal, both dependable portsiders, are back to earn their letters again this year. Among those out for third place, Hamilton and Bond seem to be the best racquet wielders. Bob Fisher, lanky lefthander, who was second man on last year's varsity squad, probably will be first man this year. Fisher relies on a consistent driv-ing game to keep him to the fore. As a rule he plays a back court game, occasion-ally resorting to a net game, his height and reach aiding him considerably. He has a strong service, which will play havoc with his opponents this year. His reverse service is death on right handers, and it is almost impossible to drive. Myer Thal is also a left-hander and unless something radical happens, he should be second man without any fight whatever. His strength lies particularly in the driving game throughout, as he is consistently strong on the backhand. Third place will have to be fought out, but at the present time, the two logical contenders for it are Hamilton and Bond, with Bond having a slight edge. If Elden Bond is on, you might almost say that he could beat the world, but the trouble is-that he is seldom on. Bond resorts wholly to a smashing game, while. Hamilton lies back, plays steady, and hopes to gain by his oppo-nent's mistakes or errors. This year's tennis team will travel to Ellensburg to take part in the Tri- Normal Tennis meet, and there they will have a record to uphold. Bellingham Normal has not lost a single match in the years of Tri-Normal competition. Coach Sam Carver may make arrangements with the U. of W. Frosh and minor colleges of the state.

"A sport for every girl and a girl for every sport," is the aim of the Women's Athletic Association in this school. The Department of Physical Education for Women plans to have every girl who turns out for a sport, a member of an intra-mural team. Classes select girls who are to represent them on the inter-class teams. "All- Star" teams of the school are picked by the coaches and the athletic managers. Once a quarter a Sports' Banquet is held. The Board of Control awards sweaters to those girls making eight first teams and gives to them sports letters. Girls' athletics during the year 1927 and 1928 have been coached to a finer degree than in former years. Miss Beth Bowen and Miss Bertha Keller have together supervised the All-Season sports, while Miss Theresa Peters has charge of the Festival Dancing. Miss George has charge of hiking. An outline of the sports offered to the women in this school during this year, is as follows: Fall Quarter HOCKEY SOCCER VOLLEY BALL HIKING Winter Quarter BASKETBALL VOLLEY BALL SWIMMING HIKING Spring Quarter SWIMMING ARCHERY BASEBALL TRACK TENNIS RING TENNIS HAND BALL RIDING QUOITS NATURAL DANCING HIKING -One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 131 ---------- SOPHOMORE TEAM Dorothy McCool, Katherine Lawrence, Viola Searing, Anna Hicklin, Edith Gunderson, Mary Fox, Grace Neely, Nellie Barton, Jean Williams. s0iC6ER11 { Soccer held an important place in sports this year. Since its introduction into Women's Athletics in the fall of 1926 by Miss Bertha Keller, it has become one of the major sports. After weeks of preliminary practise in dribbling, kicking and blocking, intra-mural teams were chosen. Each girl made an intra-mural. Then followed the inter-class practise, and games between the freshmen and sophomores. FRESHMAN TEAM Virginia Bever, Rosa Van Ess, Frieda Massey, Lempi Koli, Genevieve Evatt, Helen Neilson, Elina Keltanen, Lillian Wendland, Grace Clampett, Ruth Bradley. Keen interest followed this sport all during the quarter. The sophomores tried to down the freshmen in order to annex a championship, but the freshmen had too fast and accurate a team; so the soccer season ended with a tie, neither team winning. However, the players who excelled in skill, sportsmanship and fine spirit were elected for the "All-Star" honor team. Miss Keller coached.

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

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

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

Intra-murals are picked and are seen on the diamond at Waldo Field. Class teams are selected and they are practicing prior to the championship games. The sophomores seem to have the upper hand but the freshmen are going to "turn the tables" and get a victory from the "age old sophomores." One Hundred Thirty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1928 - Page 136 ---------- ALL-STAR TEAM Irene Larson, Vera Ginnette, Rose Brooks, Beth Coglan, Aileen Arland, Martha Gesdahl, Evaline Cowan. SWIMMING Swimming, that "splashing sport" which affords joy and pleasure to so many girls here, was more popular this year than last, due to the coaches, Miss Bowen, and Miss Sullivan, who took Miss Bowen's place during the spring quarter. On March 9, 1928, at the Y. W. C. A. pool, the sophomores and freshmen had a "Water Carnival," in which the two teams contested for first place in plunge for distance, relay, speed and form in stroke, diving and retrieving relay. The sopho-mores proved victorious and annexed the championship.

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

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

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

I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, It makes the peas taste funny, But they always stay on my knife! "Say, Bill," remarks my friend to me one brite glorious morning, displaying a most unhappy countenance, "I had a dream last nite. Well, you know what dreams mean, and you know what dreamin' about NAMES means! So, according to the lady in assembly, I'm making all preparations for a trip to the insane house." And these are the poor fellow's very words. He said to me like this: "Say, it sure was RICH. I was riding along peacefully in my KIBBE KAR, when who should I bump into but that dere teacher who flunked me last quarter. Of course I wasn't out to HUNT trouble, but thinking of that flunk sure made me mad and I' wanted to KELLER rite then and there. She sure wasn't what you'd call a SUNDQUIST beauty, Bill, so can you blame me? I began to think of the MANY effective ways to FOWLER. Ah, thot I, I will CARVER! But just as I was about to TREAT her thusly, fourteen policemen grabbed me, one of them remarking to another, "I'll FISHER out of the way of this demon." Then said he to me, "EWELL come with me!" So what was a poor man to do, Bill? Say, it was awful. There I was in the COLE jail with nothing to eat but RICE, and none of my friends would put up BOND for me. Ain't dreams terrible, Bill?" said he to me. And I was inclined to agree.

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

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

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

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

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

The ."Red Arrow" was a magazine devoted to the literary interests of the Normal students, and contained poems, essays, short stories, representative of the literary talent of the student body. Many of the writings had been entered in the literary prose and poetry contests of the Scribes' Club. In the winter quarter's magazine, of which Victorio Velasco was editor, ap-peared a poem of the world-famous traveler and lecturer, Tom Skeyhill. There was also an interview of Carl Sandburg, who had addressed the Normal student body during the quarter. These truly "professional touches" added a great deal to the success of the magazine. The publication served a two-fold purpose. It was not only of interest to the readers, but was also a means of expression of Normal students interested in jour-nalism which heretofore had never been available. With such a successful beginning it seems quite probable, since it is planned to be a quarterly publication, that the "Red Arrow" will continue to live up to the high standards set by its first authors. Y'Rormal5f ab A recreation center for the students of the Bellingham State Normal School has long been the dream of the student body. To fulfil that dream the territory known as Normalstad, with a forty-acre frontage on Lake Whatcom, was purchased several years ago and plans have been made for one large lodge for all- school activities, with smaller cottages for various clubs. Locations have been selected for a baseball diamond, a hockey field, and for tennis courts. On the lake, directly in front of Normalstad, there is a one- mile course ad-mirably suited for boat races. The Northern Pacific railroad track is parallel to this straightaway, making it possible for observation cars to follow the races. Doubtless regattas will be held in future years. By means of all-school picnics and campus days the students in past years have cleared a portion of the land, and have built a substantial wharf. The old road has also been developed until it is now possible to drive a light car up to the very front door of Normalstad during dry weather. With the help of Geneva township it is hoped that the road will be further improved this year. Perhaps in the not-too-far future it will be possible to begin work on the main lodge, so that the dream of Normalstad will be realized. Fifty-six C ___ __ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 57 ---------- In spite of superstition, Friday is probably the most popular day at Nor-mal. Not only does it precede the freedom of the week-end, but every Friday between the hours of four and five the students are drawn irresistibly towards the "Big Gym" by the gay music from "Frannie" Wilcox's jazz orchestra. Here they may enjoy the pleasures of "Recreation Hour," leaving far behind the cares of the workaday world. The "Rec" Hour committee has the gym and the music all ready for them and is waiting at the door to scan their student activities tickets. The success of "Rec Hour" has been well proved by the large numbers of stu-dents who attend this weekly festival. It will probably go down in history as one of the most popular traditions of the Bellingham State Normal School. The following compose the "Rec" Hour Committee: IRMA LITTLER, Chairman VERTA TEMPLETON OLIVE HARDAN FOMIA WAKIN MAURICE THOMPSON ALICE LINGLEY PHYLLIS CRABILL BRYAN HANKINS Fiffty-seven _ ILU-L -CII -- - - ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 58 ---------- uget 6ou#) iofo icaf fafioy Near Friday Harbor, Wash., the county seat of the picturesque San Juan County, is located the Puget Sound Biological Station where science courses in the field and in the laboratory are conducted during the summer quarter. The Normal School is co-operating with the University of Washington in offering two courses here, one in plant biology and one in animal biology. The Friday Harbor region was selected for biological study because of the especial abundance of both fauna and flora in that region; hence it is possible for class work to be conducted in the field as well as in the laboratories. The Normal classes make a study of the important facts concerning structure, physiology, classification, and environmental conditions of plant and animal life. The primary aim of these courses is to give the student an active interest in the out-of-doors, and at the same time to equip teachers with those materials which will be of use to them in nature study work. Life at the Station is generally a busy but simple one. There are forenoon and afternoon classes in the laboratory or on the seashore. The student is given an opportunity to pursue knowledge in an almost ideal situation, unhampered by the usual school-day difficulties. Everyone sleeps soundly and arises regularly, eating three meals a day (oh, yes you will-even the fussy ones do-) hiking, rowing and leading an invigorating outdoor life. It is quite a common phenomenon for "thin" people to leave the Station at the end of the nine weeks' term, not only with increased knowledge of facts and methods of application, but also with increased weight, appetite, vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. A spirit of good fellowship prevails among the students, who range in age and experience from youthful high school graduates to university professors, and are representative of numerous states, schools, countries, and ideas. Professor Newman, himself, the author of the textbook used in the science and civilization courses, was enrolled at the Biological Station a few summers ago. And think of sitting across the table from an internationally known scientist and naturalist like Professor Kincaid! In spite of all these opportunities for physical and social development, the station is not a summer resort. These desirable features only add to the general capacity for work, and the work itself is the joy as well as the purpose of the Station. Fifty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 59 ---------- Aount_ Taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity for outdoor study that its location offers, our growing Normal-by-the-Sea reached into the heart of the mountains and during a session of five weeks, Professor Robert Landon conducted class work under the brow of Mt. Baker with Kulshan Cabin as headquarters. Each Saturday brought a new group of enthusiastic students who had received their initiation into the great mountain's mysteries by a thirty-six mile drive to the town of Glacier and a ten- mile hike through the forested foothills. Each day brought such novel experiences to these "tenderfeet" that the week of varied activities passed too rapidly to satisfy the hunger for the great outdoors fostered by the program of activities. The early morning hours brought a group downstairs to prepare breakfast and put up lunches for the day. Then, refreshed by the crisp mountain ozone and a hearty breakfast, carrying lunches and notebooks, the class went on a field trip every day. Each trip included problems of special significance and study where the student came in contact with various phases of nature, where dynamic processes involving great cyclic changes revealed themselves first hand to the prospective teacher and where she obtained knowledge and experiences of untold value in her chosen field. On these trips the class observed the mountain strams as they first trickled from the flanks of melting snow banks and later as huge torrents carrying boulders and rock flour, hewing their way through walls of sheer rock; they observed living glaciers growing on the sides of the mountains, the birth of valleys, and the disappearance of a vast peneplain. They traveled through a mountain meadow and forest, over naked rock and glittering snowfields. During the middle of the afternoon the class returned to the cabin. A hurried bath in one of the numerous mountain streams nearby, a few moments of rest, opportunity for reading and study, and then the call to supper! The evenings were devoted to lectures, class discussion, and map work. Singing and story-telling around the huge fireplace completed the day, and at ten-thirty all was quiet. THE CABIN Fiftty-nine _ ___ ___ __ _ _ _ I _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 60 ---------- ALL-SCHOOL MIXER-SEPT. 27 "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo ho ho-" Now for a good time. With bloody pirates hoisted on the Viking galleon leading the line, not with knives and daggers, but with "sax" and trombone, the all-school mixer started eight hundred students on a fair voyage for a good year at Bellingham Normal. It was exciting discovering who was who in the get-acquainted games-and to find out that names do mean something-sometimes if they are attached to the right person and you are a thousand miles from home. The revelry moved now tempo rubato. The Pirates, the bad, glad pirates had come with instruments of witchery. Heels twinkled! And the dance was on! Feature dances vied with the punch bowl for attention. Too soon the Pirates were playing the last waltz. A little ceremony occurred when all had gone. Shall I tell you? Very quietly the Blue and the White, guardians of hosts of memories, opened the door for a slender young memory to come home-the memory of the first all-student mixer of 1926-7. Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION-OCT. 1 The years do slip by! But each fall, marking a pause in the whirl, comes the Y. W. C. A. reception. It brings much of value in the way of tradition, but of more worth is the prevalence of good fellowship and kindliness at this time. The reception was given at Edens Hall this year. The shaded lights, low chairs before the fireplace, and the fine hospitality of the hostesses caused many new students to drop their cloaks of shyness. The program of music and dramatic readings, which formed the major portion of the evening's entertainment, was of unusually high merit. KID PARTY-OCT. 2 Some one found a wishing ring! A sparkling, gem-set wishing ring! which, if you turn to the East, where the sun cones up, you will be whisked into the land of Tomorrow. If you turn it to the West, where the sun goes down, you may open the door to Yesterday. A very small person shut her eyes, wished very hard, and turned the ring to the West! The door to yesterday flew open and out tumbled little girls and little girls! Tomboys and pirates, swarthy and bold; Pollyanna with smiles enough for even the very cold! Why? Must I tell? Very well I shall then-but you'll never know, never know, even then. Each year, shortly after the opening of school, the Women's League in an effort to create opportunities for the formation of new friendships holds a party for all disciples of Peter Pan. The only requisite is that you go down the road to Yesterday, find the little girl you were once upon a time, and bring her to the party. Sixty __ __ _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 61 ---------- WOMEN'S LEAGUE TEA-OCT. 27 "Lit candles in a casement ope at night Starring the dusk in Babylon"- And lit candles in the reception room at Edens Hall shining in the October twilight. "At candlelight" is a very special time of day. So many things happen while tall tapers burn. Friends could come and go-as they did, although leaving with reluctance. For, if the candles failed in invitation, the music was irresistible. This first tea of the year, sponsored by the Women's League and occurring at Edens Hall, was unique. One doesn't always have tea at candlelight and the novelty of the affair added to its attractiveness. A dance interpretation in delicate music, by three members of the Women's League, was the final number of the program. EDENS HALL INFORMAL-NOV. 4 "Si Senor,"-the rose in her hair even nodded assent. And the black lace mantilla caught like a wisp of wind on her carved comb echoed the reply. Then-his low answer, "Muchas gracias, Senorita"--and they whirled away in a gay Spanish dance. At this informal given by the girls of Edens Hall the care-free spirit of old Spain was cunningly introduced. The hall might have been a replica of a dancing square in Barcelona. Much finesse is required to create a situation of this kind with the congruent atmosphere, but it was excellently done by the girls of Edens Hall. HOMECOMING-NOV 5-6 "Oh at last, when you return from the three Pa districts, Send me a message home ahead! And I will come and meet you and never mind the distance, All the long way to Ch'and--sha!" -Li Po. We don't mind the distance, do we? Not when we are coming back to the Normal-by-the-Sea. There were two hundred and fifty alumni who came back this year. I think they scarcely realized they were back until about six-thirty Friday night when a polychromatic noise came hurdling across the campus! Yoh! Vikings! Yoh! Vikings. The serpentine and bonfire next in line were cocktails for the game Saturday. And were we-ah-"pepped up ?" Rather! Was there any one who didn't become inflamed at the judiciary talent displayed by the Thespians? Registration hours (I'll wager that amused them, standing in line again for registration) were from ten to twelve Saturday morning. Then luncheon at Edens Hall. Right royal entertainment they were given when various clubs presented musical artists and displayed their best actors. The game was at two o'clock. Pennants, color, football booklets, and fresh-men who had been making spectacular yard-runs for an hour. A yard was the limit! You couldn't get any farther. You were always interrupted in the midst of a dash with, "Well, well, well- when did you get back?" How easily the game seemed to progress ! There couldn't have been any other outcome. Sixty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 62 ---------- A banquet for the football men and the alumni was given at Edens Hall after the game. From here our guests went to the armory where the mixer was under way. We marvelled at the amazing self-control of the football men. Although there were footballs everywhere around the hall, only once did we see a quarter-back caress the brown leather oval ball and murmur reminiscently 74-64-44! We wished "homecoming" would come oftener, when our alumni paused on the way down the steps and called back, "Thanks! So fine a time! Good-night." FRESHMAN MIXER-NOV. 19 The colors shifted like blossoms on a screen in old China. Across the hall came the tinkling laughter of milady as she pointed her silver slipper in the dance. Such gaiety! It all began in the auditorium when the curtains parted for the vaudeville frolic of pantomimes and music which preceded the annual Freshman dance in the main "gym." Music, teasingly provocative, sifted through the ap-plause of the last curtain call and poised in graceful invitation, pointed the way to the hall. Here Neva Cays and John Kerr proved most adroit in the measured movements of the feature dance and won the prize from twelve competitors. The success of this first freshman frolic might be measured by the words of a sleepy little co-ed as she tumbled, yawning, into bed, "Oh- such a good time!" WOMEN'S LEAGUE INFORMAL-NOV. 20 Gay parasols! gay laughter and the swift movement of color through the rooms. All were found at this first informal dance of the year given by the Women's League at Edens Hall. Lanterns were clustered like flowers here and there in unexpected places. But you weren't surprised! Only once! You were standing by a very poised young person who slowly waved her fan before her exquisite face-and you caught a fragrance of cherry blossoms. Remember? Then you were startled and wondered if you had been whisked away to Japan in a wink of time. A moonlight waltz followed by a Japanese feature dance increased the enchantment. Listen! Were those temple bells? Were they? Only this I know! That night, caught fast in rubric, was placed between the dark covers of many a "Hymn" book! MEN'S CLUB AND WOMEN'S LEAGUE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT EDENS HALL-DEC. 15 Most of all I remember the tree! Was there ever such a Christmas tree? Not very many lights ! No-there weren't many lights-even in Bethlehem a long time ago. Except one in the sky and one that we have always since that night. But the tree! Poised, secretive, holding its branches very still lest they dance in all their silver! I wondered if it might be waiting for some one! Some one rather round and jolly, you know! Oh, of course! Santa Claus! We entertained him for awhile. Some jolly-fol-de-rol, club stunts and carols. He rather liked it, I think. Else why were there so many packages under the tree when he left? La! the excitement then when the gay parcels were opened. Shouts of laughter and gasps of surprise. I had to go then, but you remember the rest- Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 63 ---------- ALL SCHOOL TEA The all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League and the Men's Club was the first social event of the winter quarter. A varied program of music and drama-tic readings lent charm to the occasion. Such events are always apropos at the begining of a term. Especially is this true in our school where an ever-changing student body demands new acquaintances each quarter. .OREGON CLUB DANCE A cantata of color stirred by the radiation of music from a garden enclosure was our first impression of the Oregon Club dance. The dark shining leaves of the Oregon grape about the room seemed only shadows cast by the light slipping through moth-green streamers. Was the Spanish dancer in a black and silver dress only a shadow, too? We don't know-only we felt a certain ecstasy as she went pirouetting down the room. Another color was added by the moonlight waltz. The web-foot insignia of the state of Oregon was represented by fat, happy ducks, who, unhampered by paper bodies, made complacent attempts to walk along the wall. Programs made of green and white "O's" harmonized with the decorative scheme. The smooth procedure of the entire affair was indicative of a well-organized, uniquely planned dance. OUTSIDE INFORMAL-FEBRUARY 12 He had a ruffle of lace at his throat and she had a dimple in her chin and wore a pink satin gown with a ribbon of silver over her shoulder. Slippers were pointed in the graceful movement of the minuet as the dancers moved now fast, now slow, with gentle dignity. Of such quality was the feature at the informal dance given by the girls who live outside of Edens Hall. The theme in decorations and program was colonial. There were Lexington, Concord, and other cities made famous by Paul Revere's midnight ride. The moon-light waltz opened the door to a scene in an old Southern garden where the night sweetly fragrant with magnolia blossoms turned ever dignified colonial ladies into witches. St. Valentine, that best old guardian of double hearts, was among those present-perhaps we dreamed it, but did he say, leaning close to the gay revelry, "Benedicite ?" FRESHMAN WINTER CARNIVAL Some time, in the winter time when you are tired of so many things, take a look at the delicate frost fronds a jolly artist has painted on your window over night. The Freshman created a miniature kingdom of Iceland at their carnival early in the winter quarter. There was the queen of all this whiteness, graciously pre-siding with her lords and ladies in waiting; music, too, sifting like a wind-blown cry through glistening icicles. A Russian dance recalled the ice-bound Neva with the colors of sunset playing over its surface. The bags of confetti were really only jagged bits of prisms that had caught a little of the summer sun and stored it away for just such a winter scene. Several favor dances magnetized attention and before we knew it the last waltz was being played. Sorry to go-it was all so very novel and beautiful-but glad of the calibre of a freshman class that could present such a finished production. Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 64 ---------- GREENWICH VILLAGE BALL-FEBRUARY 25 Street cries, flying color, and roguish music teasing our toes. Or if you'd rather -- whirls of laughter and open-eyed marvelling at the talent of the artist in the rakish studio. And the lamp posts! We went into a corner and began to question ourselves. For you know other lamp-posts aren't as these were-and when one is accustomed to moral lamp posts!-don't you see? We grew a dark suspicion about those stars, too. They were so bold, so very bold for stars. So many artists did we see, painting pictures. Oh not on canvas! These were very prosperous Bohemians in this Greenwich Village with their smart tams. (Bohemians are the only people in the world who would think of "duesday" as a source of income.) Those daring Apache dancers! Several times when we've been scouting around Europe-mentally, we've seen Apache dancers even as these. Think, then, of our excitement when we saw them under our own blue sky. Artists were at work in this village before we came-long before! Working, planning, creating scenes for your entertainment and mine. 'To those gifted ones we give a confetti-colored "thank you" for such a fine time at the Sophomore Greenwich Village Ball. SPRING QUARTER The Viking Vodvil was one of the high lights of the season. Its place in mid- quarter was most apropos since student teachers had long since lost consciousness, and exam-weary students were questioning the value of "petty godgy" in our social system. Pantomimes, shadow plays, and music formed first class entertainment at this Vodvil. And as Chieh Chung would say, "Our delight exceeded the colors of heaven." Campus Day at Normalstad was like after-dinner mints. We wanted to pro-long the joy of those hours, but the sun insisted on "sliding off the edge of the sky," while we distastefully recalled the fact that some instructors still called eight o'clock classes. This shadow play of days, drawn from a jade battle, flecked with scintillant hours goes quietly into the wings. Actors assume new masks, new costumes, and carefully cover their wishes and suspicions with a diploma and a contract. Some will cover them too carefully and though they look the wide world over will never find a single wish nor a suspicion. Others will keep their secret ambitions poised in the cool places of the heart in fear of this adventure we call the big business of teaching. A few moon-mad folk will find high flickering flames even in this adven-ture- due to two years of experience in adventure at the Normal-by-the-Sea.

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

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

The sextette has had a very successful and interesting program under the inspiring direction of Miss Maude Slawson. They appeared before the Business and Professional Women's Club where they were very enthusiastically received. At the home-coming luncheon the sextette represented the MacDowell Club of which all are members. They also rendered several Christmas selections before the American Association of University Women at Edens Hall. For the Christmas assembly the sextette sang several Christmas numbers characterizing the true spirit of the season. The members of the sextette are Irene Kendler and Esther Cooper, first sopranos; Phyllis Johnson and Grace Richardson, second sopranos; Martha Gesdahl and Thelma Butler, altos; and Ruth Quaife, accompanist. At the close of the spring quarter a pin was awarded by the Board of Control of the Associated Students to each of these members for their participation in this school activity.

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

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

This was the first victory for the Normalites over the University team and climaxed a successful season. The Supers started strong but were soon worn down by the vicious charging of the Viking linesmen and the hard plunging of the backs, Odell going over for a touchdown early in the second quarter. The next score came after working the ball up to the 25-yard line where Odell booted a pretty field goal against a strong wind. The last touchdown resulted from a 15-yard pass from Seymour to Odell, Odell making a pretty 35-yard run to cross the goal line. The Normal team played the best ball of the season in this game, the backfield working together as a unit and the play of both ends being great, both Thorsen and Brown having very little yardage made around them, besides blocking and recovering five punts. A STATEMENT ABOUT ATHLETICS By PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER A school should be judged not by the athletic teams it develops, but by the kind of service rendered to society through the graduates who go out of the institution. Athletics have a place in student activities and in the work and the life of a school but they should be made to fit in with the educational policy and program of a school. I believe that students should participate in athletics because of the joy and the satisfaction they get out of this kind of accomplishment and because in a school like ours they learn to instruct others in athletics. Athletics to be justified in an educational institution must offer students opportunities for individual growth in qualities of character and in health habits as well as in physical skills. The lowering of standards of scholarship for the sake of developing winning teams and the management of athletics upon a commercial basis has justly brought criticism upon schools. No student should be permitted to represent a school in athletics who is not in good standing in his classes and who does not put loyalty to the team and to the school above personal recognition and gain. We have had too much athletics in schools that developed winning teams to the neglect of the physical and the health development of all of the students of an institution. We are rapidly coming upon the time when schools will be judged more by what athletics can accomplish for the individual growth of character and health for all students rather than for the physical prowess of a few students. I am proud of the fact that in our school we have consistently spent more money for lectures, dramatics, and music than for athletics. At the same time we have made a place for athletics in our program and we have a record of accomplishments in athletics of which we may be justly proud.

STICKNEY SEYMOUR Ninety-one _ _ __ _ I _ _ _ _ ~ __ _ _ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 92 ---------- Winning the Tri-Normal Championship, usually considered the championship of the minor colleges, is no mean feat in itself, and causes a team to play consistently if they hope to keep in the running. This year the Normal was represented by such a team, one that set out to win and accomplished its purpose. The Vikings' record of games won and lost is one of which to be proud. When the initial call for 1927 varsity basketball was made by Coach Sam Carver in December, 1926, three star lettermen and numerous other brilliant hoop performers responded. Prospects for a successful season were never so bright. In addition to Stickney, Odell, and Keplinger, "W" winners, there were Isaacson, Benson, Seymour, Clarke, Thorsen, Hawkings, Harper, Hansen and Don Stickney. After the withdrawal from school of Seymour, Clarke and Hansen, and the coming of Jensen, a center from Chehalis, Coach Carver selected the following eight-man varsity: Ray Odell, Earl Keplinger and Jack Harper, forwards; Forrest Jensen and Oscar Thorsen, centers; Art Isaacson, Lyman Stickney and Harry Benson, guards. The team lived up to expectations. It went through a thirteen-game schedule in eight weeks of play, winning nine and losing four, and capturing the Tri-Normal championship. It swept everything before it and was on the road to the state minor colleges title with nine victories and one defeat, when a late-season slump came on, and the contests with the Rothschild's, St. Martin's College, and the Washington Freshmen all ended with Bellingham on the under side. The Vikings opened the season against the Lynden Zebras, an independent organization, on January 8. Ray Odell led his team-mates to a 32-24 victory, scoring twenty points and giving a brilliant exhibition of shooting. The New Westminster Adanjacs composed of highly touted Canadian amateurs, fell before a barrage of Bellingham baskets, 57-21. Odell again counted twenty markers. Playing superlative ball, the Carverites ran their winning streak on by conquering the Washington Frosh quintet, 31-25. With this victory the Vikings approached their full playing strength. Odell and Keplinger were working in perfect harmony at the forward positions. Jensen at center had a remarkable basket eye and was a hard man to stop. Isaacson as stationery guard was holding the opposition's star performers to low scores. Harry Benson, in the other defensive position, was playing a splendid game.

Ninety-two ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 93 ---------- L. STICKNEY ISSACSON THORSEN BENSON Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 94 ---------- On January 24, the team departed on its first road trip of the year, to eastern Washington to play two of its most important contests with Cheney and Ellensburg Normals. Ellensburg was downed 33-30 in two overtime periods, after a hard Wildcat uphill fight was halted just in time. The honor of inflicting the first defeat on the Vikings went to the Cheney Savages, who cut down and finally surpassed a big Bellingham lead to win in the last minute, 36-33. Spokane College was outclassed in the final road contest, 52-10. The Vikings opened the home stand which saw their game reach its highest point and brought them the Tri-Normal title, on February 7, against St. Martin's. Opponents showed remarkable basket ability to locate the hoop, but an early lead proved enough to bring another victory to Coach Carver's outfit. The score was 51-40. Taking on Cheney twice and Ellensburg cnce in four days, Bellingham clearly demonstrated its superiority over its two rivals and took premier State Normal honors. The Savages came here huge favorites to "cop," but were completely tamed after two mixes, which the Vikings won, 46-19 and 37-22. It was in the first of these that Jensen gave an exhibition that has never been equalled in Viking history of how to make shots count. Subduing the Wildcats from Ellensburg proved an easy matter, the score standing 40-21. Then came the last games of the season and with them, the slump. The Rothschild's Stevedores of Seattle, composed almost entirely of former Washington stars, won a deserving 36-23 victory. But on the final road trip both Washington Frosh and St. Martin's college inflicted Viking defeats, the former 34-31, and the latter 38-26. Nevertheless, the season was highly successful, and with practically the whole team returning, next year should see another victorious season. Just a few words on the individual players: Ray Odell, captain and high point scorer of the team. Ray is a dead shot under the hoop and makes his share of the score each game, continually outfoxing his guard. Earl Keplinger, most aggressive player on team, good shot from any angle; Earl and Ray make an ideal forward combination. Forrest Jensen, fine offensive player who can be counted to outscore his man. "Jens" is especially good on long shots, thus keeping the defensive team drawn out. Art Isaacson, one of the best, if not the best guard in the conference. Can be depended upon to hold his man practically scoreless. Lyman Stickney, dependable guard, and also a scoring threat. "Stick" plays a nice floor game and is always where he is most needed. Harry Benson, plays a good defensive game and counts often on shots from the back court. Oscar Thorsen, probably the best team worker on the squad, also fine floor man and good shot. Jack Harper, good floor man and fair shot, inexperience keeping him from making his letter. The following is a summary of the Varsity season: Vikings .... ....3.2 Lynden ........2.4.....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Track was another spring attraction. This sport gives a girl an opportunity to show any skill that she has as there is such a variety of events. A class track meet held on Field Day included dashes, hurdling, broad jump, high jump, relay races, discus throwing and other special events.

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

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

It was first organized in 1909 and since then has held a place of its own in the traditions of the Normal-By-The-Sea. The three annual club events are the Philo Birthday Party, the Philo Dinner- Dance, and the Philo Picnic. Besides these functions an assembly program is furn- ished by them during the winter quarter.

The program for the year included many different functions, for the club is very active in all school affairs and is an organization not lacking a most enjoyable social side. Chief among its small functions are the initiation in the fall, the winter-quarter home-coming banquet, and the picnic in the spring quarter. Not only was the club active during the Home-coming festivities but also during the Viking Vodvil, the primary spring quarter event.

Recognition is given by this society to those who measure up to its standards, which demand doing a high grade of work consistently. Except for a banquet held in the spring quarter, the society is largely inactive, meeting only to vote in new members. A record showing the achievements of all her former members is kept by the society. Every year members in various parts of the country write letters telling about the various lines of work they are pursuing. This is made a feature of the spring home-coming banquet. Each one feels a great pride in the success of his fellow members as it brings honor not only to the society itself, but to the school of which it is a part-the Alma Mater.

The program for the year consisted of talks on photography in general, on the camera, on composition, on silhouette photography, and the chemistry of photo-graphy, how the picture is made, etc. Of great value to the club and to the school in general is the Weekly Camera News, a bulletin which portrays the activities of school life as well as displays the ability of the club-members. The club also furnishes a practical plan for securing snapshots for school publications in a really efficient manner. OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR AL BuowN . . . . . . President LULU ELIOTT . . . .

The regular meetings of the organization are held every Thursday afternoon. Former students, returned missionaries, and members have been speakers at these meetings. The cabinet, composed of the officers of the association, and chairmen, meets Tuesday afternoon to transact business of the association. Besides the gen-eral meetings, four Bible classes have been held in the outside houses and at the Wednesday noon hour; at school Miss Pinell has led the noon class; Miss Sperry and Mrs. Miller the others. The most looked forward to event in the program of the Y. W. C. A. was the Bible Institute in January. Dr. Georgia Sattler and Mrs. J. Addison Campbell of Seattle were the speakers. Easter morning a sunrise praise service, always the largest meeting of the year, is held on the top of Sehome Hill. The asociation gave the opening reception for the school at Edens' Hall.

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

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

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

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

It was organized in the year 1925, having as its purpose the promotion of good fellowship among Oregon students. The only requirement for admission is former residence in that state. An interesting and lively program was carried out during the year, which included hikes, an initiation, and as the crowning event of the season, the Oregon Club dance, given in the interest of the entire student body.

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

The club is limited to twenty-five active student members who can meet the requirements which include a high scholastic standing in the social sciences and re-lated subjects. Try-outs for new members, in the form of a five-minute address on some topic of current international interest, are to be held each quarter by the club.

This year a new system of points was inaugurated which corresponds to the point system of the national W. A. A. and enables a girl to use her points in other institutions. This point system concerns athletic work alone. The W. A. A. has other activities, such as ushering and selling tickets, which do not count toward points in the organization. Many of their activities center around the plan for a.W. A. A. Lodge, which the club is raising money to build. The year's program includes many hikes, an initiation, and a W. A. A. sports banquet. Among the longer hikes taken every year is included one to Skyline Ridge, one to Lost Lake, and the annual hike up Mount Constitution on Orcas Island. OFFICERS VESTA LARSON . .

Looking at Edens Hall from the educational and scholastic standpoint we see that they observe hours for study and hours for amusement. The regular study hours are from 7:30 to 9:30 every night. Quietness is enforced during these hours by a proctor who is elected to fulfill this duty and also to see that lights are out at 10:00 P. M.

SANDBURG-BUT WE HAD TO DO IT The Spirit of the Institution was called Going-out-to-Teach, and he used to say to his little daughter, Lemme-at-It: Everything was and is and will always be the same as it always was: Men who know come to Assembly and give us their Mother Hubbard speeches- Covering everything and touching nothing. The Scholarship is a distinguished Committee and they all sit together, holding their mouths under their noses, Mr. Berg is so tall that he has to sit down to put his hand in his pockets. "Are student-teachers people?" is a serious training-school discussion question. Mr. Arntzen puts his right hand into his left hand and shakes hands with himself after every successful psycho-analysis. The good die young because there is no use of living if you have to be good. Everything is the same as it always was. Rella Ebeling: What a pity handsome men are always conceited. Bill Mock: Not always, little girl, I'm not. And the best illustration of mingled hope and fear is Henry Durr asking Miss Johnson if he can do an extra project. Miss Sundquist: Is that clear? Clear as mud, I suppose . . well, that covers the ground. One Hundred Thirty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 139 ---------- OUR MAGAZINE SECTION WORLD'S WORK-The Annual Staff.

COMPOSIUM I had a little complex Which went in and out with me, And what could be the use of it Was more than I could see. Finding a row of books one day, Upon a shiny shelf, I set about with aid of them To analyze myself. I dissected all my day-dreams Ultra-conscientiously, And pursued remote responses With a fierce avidity. -Excavated my repressions Underneath my conscious mind- Yet insistent inhibitions Still persisted undefined. I took 'em to a friend of mine, A man whom I respect: A psycho-analytic soul, A ruthless introspect. And now I'm sunk- for this he said: "With you I sympathize.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forthwith did they proceed to plunder the richly filled coffers of their gold and jewel knowledge, but still did bethink themselves of their cap-tives, and permitted them to carry off as much treasure as they could make away with. Then right merrily did the life in the castle of Bellingham Normal proceed. The lords and ladies did hold happy court, and each, regardless of his station in life, did partake of some form of mental labor and settle down to prepare to take new lands and castles and add to his already growing store of riches. Inasmuch as there need be good order and discipline, it was decided that there be a chosen few to lead the Freshman class. Thereupon did these knights and ladies elect Sir Donovan Matheny, Lady Evelyn Hagen, Lady Margaret Chambers and Sir Howard Wilder, and did also take for good counsel, the wise Sir Bond. At last came the day in the fall of the year of 1924, A. D., when heralds did proclaim the first of the series of tournaments to be held, wherein many of the gallant-hearted would strive for the honors to be won. From far and near came participants, and to these jousts did the Freshman class send a goodly number to compete for the honor of the Normal-by-the-Sea. Not only did the Freshman class send from among its ranks men of strength and skill to be victors on the football field, but also did they help to take honor and trophy in basketball, debate, track and baseball meets. Be it known that the fair ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves to the lists and yell right heartily for their knights; and the knights no matter what jousts did they take part in, did carry their school colors of Blue and White upon their sleeves, and in their hearts as well, with courage and fair play. All this while the knights and ladies of the class did work on and on right heartily and cheerfully, and hailed with pleasure the ball given by them on February 28, 1925. Came here the Freshmen in splendid dress and attire to par-ticipate in dancing, partake of sparkling punch, and enjoy much well-won pleasure. Decorations of green, and soft shaded tapers did lend artistic 'atmosphere to the surroundings and the ball did take place in the Edens Hall Castle, well known near and far. During the course of the eventful year did the Freshmen contribute much toward the musical and dramatic ability of the school. Freshman talent did much to support various productions. Be it also known, that the gentle ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves out into the field of glory unafeared and entered the W. A. A., where they did right heartily prove their valor. The Messenger and the Klipsun were managed and edited with the help of members of the first year conquerors. Be it known that the Freshman class did have representatives in every activity sponsored by the Castle of Bellingham Nor-mal and right merrily did they respond to every whit of work put upon them. Being right wealthy in sportsmanship, enthusiasm, spirit, and great possibili-ties, the lords and ladies of the Class of '26 did make an historical success of their first: year in the well-won stronghold of knowledge, and right heartily do they extend their sincere thanks to the other inhabitants of the Castle and to the most faithful and good-willed faculty that helped them to progress along the way of learning. The knights, lords and ladies of '26 accept the best wishes given them by the Class of '25 for success and happiness, and pass that same greeting and wish on to the class that will start its siege in a year to come. Seventy-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 72 ---------- Seventy-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 73 ---------- Traditions O, Spirit of Bellingham Normal, Open for me, I pray, The doors of the Past. Let pass before me this hour The traditions-magic painters of school customs Faithful guides of the Future. Today let me see them-see clearly, That I may always remember Bellingham with her traditions. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 74 ---------- Traditions Long before the Normal stocd here on the hill, before the white man had come to greet the mighty Pacific, a tribe of Indians watched the sun sink in the west. "Klipsun," they said, as they pointed across the bay, "Klipsun" (the setting sun). In after years when the students of Bellingham Normal sought a name for their annual, they, too, watched the sun crimson the bay, and as "the western sun is the setting sun, is the sun of a hope fulfilled," they, whose hope of schooling had been accomplished, named their annual "Klipsun," the Indian word meaning sunset. The first numbers of the annual to be published were miniature Messengers published by the Sophomore class during the spring quarter. It was in 1912 that the Klipsun first appeared in book form. Since then it has grown in size to meet the ever increasing demands of a larger student body. SEHOME HILL AND INITIAL ROCK On the very summit of Sehome, under the benign guardianship of old Mount Baker, and within sight of an inspiring panorama of blue water, misty green islands, pearly Olympics, and jagged Canadian peaks dazzling in the sun, there emerges a large low rock which is covered with countless numbers of initials and dates. Some of these letters and figures are closely intertwined. Dates range from the 90's to those of yesterday. Some are crudely done, while others are drawn with the sure, carefulFy careless strokes of the artist; but all are artistic to the eye of the lover of B. S. N. S. tradition, for everyone records some thought or some heart throb of a student who climbed the old trail to the top of the hill and there gladdened his soul with the breath-taking vision before him. Perhaps per-plexities of student life dwindled into insignificance up there in the midst of Nature's glory; perhaps a lasting friendship took root, or a romance budded; anyway, it is safe to assume that the experience became a precious memory. We reach the top of Sehome by climbing up the steep wooded trail which begins at the very backdoors of the main building, or we follow the longer, more leisurely Huntoon Driveway and wend our way spiral fashion to the top, rewarded by new delights of foliage, flower, rocky wall, glimpse of sea, sky, cloud, or city, at every step. On Easter morning a large group of students ascends the hill to attend the traditional sunrise prayer meeting held by the Normal Y. W. C. A. SUNSET TRAIL Only a short block south of the campus, at the end of High Street, one comes upon a lovely wooded trail leading to Sunset Knoll, an open space on the heights between Sehome and South Bellingham, overlooking the bay. This, like Sehome Hill, is a favorite spot for picnics and for viewing the sunsets which help to make Bellingham Bay famous. VIKINGS Vikings is the name given to athletes and to all others who compete for the honor of our school. This is a new name for Bellingham teams, but it has already found its place in the hearts of the students. It is a traditional name which will grow more dear as the years roll on; for it is especially well chosen. We live on the western coast of one of the largest fiords in the world, and our teams go south to meet their rivals. We have the spirit of adventure, of daring and bravery, and the will and the ability to conquer. Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 75 ---------- KLINE CUP CONTEST The Kline-Cup contest started in 1904 when Mr. Kline, a Bellingham jeweler, offered a silver cup to the class whose girls' basketball team should win the championship of the school. At the time there were six groups competing: Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Junior advanced, and Senior advanced. There are no longer Junior and Senior advanced groups, but the contest is still held. The numerals of the winning class team are engraved on the cup. ARBOR DAY On Arbor Day we plant new shrubs and trees along Huntoon Drive up Sehome. Each organization within the school takes special care of those shrubs and trees for which it is directly responsible. VIKING VODVIL Each year in the spring quarter the students put on a vodvil. This consists of a number of the best "stunts" chosen from those offered by Independents and by the various clubs. This is called the Viking Vodvil. THE ALL- SCHOOL PICNIC In May comes the all-school picnic. It may be at Glacier, over on an island, up at Normalstad, or at any one of the many attractive spots near here. This picnic is noted for its large crowd, for the eats, and for the jolly fun. THE MARATHON Some time during the spring quarter the students and faculty put on hiking clothes and start for the top of Chuckanut Mountain. There they write their 'names and the time of their arrival at the top in a book provided for the occasion. At the end of the day the names are counted. The group, class or faculty having the largest per cent to reach the top is awarded a silver cup with engraved numerals. The Marathon was started in 1909 when the Bellingham Herald offered a silver cup to the man who could start from the Normal and run to the top of Chuckanut and back in the shortest time. ,As this was found too difficult an undertaking, the Marathon was changed in 1910 to class and faculty competition. Running is no longer required, but the hike varies in form from year to year. One year the students met at the Normal and went in a group. At times classes go together, and at one time the contest closed at sun-up. The Marathon is one of the big events of the school year. SNEAK DAY Sophomores take one day in the spring for pleasure only. Under cover of great secrecy, these wise students leave their books wherever they may be and set out for greener pastures, thus giving the faculty an opportunity to devote all of their time to the Freshmen. BURIED TREASURES On Class Day the Sophomores put the class roll, a list of their bfficers and faculty advisors, a Klipsun, and whatever else they may decide upon, in a tin box which they bury with much ceremony under the walk in front of the main building. The cement which has been cut out of the walk in order that the box may be placed under it is replaced with new, and the class numerals are cut. in the new cement. This is one of the oldest traditions of the Sophomores and is followed by every graduating class. Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 76 ---------- MOUNT BAKER HIKE During the summer there are a number of hikes under the direction of faculty members. These hikes are, besides being very interesting in themselves, preliminary to and preparatory for the big hike of the year-the Mount Baker hike. Mr. Coughlin started the tradition of a Mount Baker hike in 1919 and for several years was the faculty member in charge. Since the first year when a group of fifteen or twenty climbed Mount Baker, this hike has grown in size and popularity. Two faculty members, Mr. Kolstad and Mr. Bond, now take charge. Last year the group consisted of students, faculty members, and President Fisher. It numbered seventy-two in all, sixty-one making the ascent. It is customary for those going on this hike to take cars or to go on the special stages to Glacier the night before the climb, and from Glacier to take their packs and hike some distance into the park before spreading their blankets for the night. The Mt. Baker hike is the one event of the year when everyone is expected to dip freely into the paint can and paint his face. GREENWOOD THEATER One of our most novel and worthwhile traditions is the giving of a Shakes-pearean play in the Greenwood Theater. This is put on by the Drama Club in the late summer. For weeks before the opening of the play the characters may be seen and heard rehearsing their parts on the campus. About the time the students have become accustomed to this, a few benches and stage furnishings appear; then all is hidden behind high canvas walls, and only the pound, pound of the hammers can be heard as the bleachers go up in the outdoor theatre. When the seats are made and the lights are arranged, the theatre is complete. In a few more days the play is given. After two or three nights' showing, the canvas and seats are taken down and nothing remains of the Greenwood Theater except the green wood. In the past the Greenwood Theater has been erected on the northwest of the knoll in front of the main building. In a few years more it will find a permanent spot on Sehome Hill back of Edens Hall near the reservoir, where the topography makes an ideal location for a natural studium. TRADITION DECREES THAT: The Cheney game is the most important of the football season. Wear rah caps, carry blue and white banners, and cheer through blue and white mega-phones when you come to this game! There shall be a Y. W. C. A. reception on the first Friday of the school year. No one shall be permitted to wear letters from other schools after the first week of the quarter. Seventy-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 77 ---------- Let the picture pass, O Spirit; Close well the doors. Let it pass. Slowly, reverently let it pass For what I have seen I remember And love- Bellingham with her traditions.

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

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

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

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

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

Coach Carver selected two men, Walter Vanderford and Ed Hannah, to represent the Normal in the 100-yard dash. There was one point won for the Normal at this meet by Ed Hannah. Another track event of the year was the Dual Meet between the Bellingham Normal and the University Frosh. This meet was taken by the Frosh by a large score, though the Normal squad did take a considerable number of points.

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

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

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

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

MELVIN SYRE MIRIAM SHERMAN BERYL WILSON ROBINSON FRANCIS CLAUSSEN .S HORACE RAHSKOPF VICTOR HOPPE HORACE WALKER OLIVER NELSON The first play of the fall quarter was a comedy by George Kelley, "The Show Off." The play was an amusing satire on American bluff, the audience recognizing in Aubrey Piper the characteristics of those who ride on the same street car to school, or those who sit across the aisle in the class-room. The cast was as follows: Aubrey Piper Mrs. Fisher Mr. Fisher Amy . . . Clara . Frank Hyland Joe Mr. Gill Mr. Rogers "Old Lady 31," the Sunshine comedy, by Drama Club, Marc Angie has been for ladies decide to tak thirty ladies is shot Angie Abe Blossy Mrs. Hom Aunt Elle John Sarah Mike Granny Abigail Elizabeth Mary Captain 1 BRADLEY DODGE DONNA LEHMAN JACK MCELHINEY LULU MINKLER MARY CULVER SIDNEY SMITH MERYL BIRD BRIGGS BURPEE TRUMAN MITCHELL Rachel Crothers, was presented by the h 6, 1925.

Vice-President CATHERINE RANDALL Secretary DoN MARQUIS Treasurer MIss MAUDE SLAWSON, MR. CLIFFORD NEWDALL S. ponsors The MacDowell Club, which is listed as a special organization, was organized early in the winter quarter. To about twenty-three charter members there have been added enough to reach the membership limit, which is thirty-five. The fol-lowing instructors in the music department of the institution were invited to be-come honorary members: Miss Ethel Gardner, Mr. Paul Lusterman, Mr. Clifford Newdall, Mr. Harrison Raymond, Miss Maude Slawson and Mr. John Roy Wil-liams. The aim of the club is to study the lives of composers and to render their works. The semi-monthly meetings are given to the study of one phase of music with vocal and instrumental illustrations by club members. The first meeting was devoted to a MacDowell program. Those following were on Indian music and the contributions of Cadman and Lieurance, and on negro music and the con-tributions of Stephen Foster. The club was named in honor of Edward MacDowell because of the great con-tribution he has made to American music and because of the efforts that his wife is putting forth to turn the MacDowell home into a place where musicians may live and study. There is a national organization of MacDowell clubs throughout the United States and it is an ambition of this club to become a member of the national or- ganization. One Hundred Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 134 ---------- W Club The years 1924-25 have been the most prosperous yet experienced in the life of the "W" Club. Its growth has been rapid because of the fact that a larger number of men are becoming interested in the athletics of the school. The "W" Club as an incentive, has urged more athletes to strive for the coveted emblem which this school bestows. Incidentally, the membership of the club has been in-creased threefold during the past school year. The organization has extended its activities throughout every section of the state. Special effort has been made to secure a high type of young man for this school. Successful attempts have been made to locate alumni who have earned their "W" in some sport and interest them in the organization so that closer association will result. Present indications point to a larger club next year, with activities which, it is hoped, will favorably affect the whole school. One Hundred Thirty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 135 ---------- Women's Athletic Association President . . . . . . BEATRICE THOMAS Vice-President . . . FLORENCE DALEY Secretary-Treasurer . . AGNES TWEIT Assistant Secretary . CARLA LA VIGNE The purpose of the W. A. A. is to "promote a high physical efficiency among women of the Normal; to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics; to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship." At the end of the last school year the club had twenty-five members. Now it has nearly one hundred members, many of whom have received awards earned under the point system. During the year the club has taken an active part in inter-class athletics under the direction of Miss Frank and Miss Skalley. Bi-weekly hikes have been taken by the club under the leadership of Miss George. The W. A. A. has adopted a daily health program which has proved very suc-cessful. Health charts turned in monthly have shown the progress made by each member. The W. A. A. stands for physical efficiency, sportsmanship and good citi-zenship. With these ideals in view the club wishes to interest still more girls, because it offers something very worth while. The club members have suffered an immeasurable loss in the death of Miss Long, their friend and adviser. She took the greatest interest in the club and was untiring in her efforts to make it a better organization. Every W. A. A. member feels a deep personal loss and wishes to express an appreciation of Miss Long's work among them.

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

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

ALICE FRANCIS A stands for Aletheia, and Aletheia stands for one of the finest clubs on the B. S. N. S. campus. Many were the happy times enjoyed by the members this year. A clever Hallowe'en party was staged in the Home Economics room of the school building. The girls all came in costume and many original characters ap-peared. One of the interesting features of the evening's entertainment was an il-lustrated talk on Alaska by Gaynelle Moses, who had just returned from two years of teaching in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The winter passed quickly. Many interesting meetings were held, at which literary subjects and topics of the day were discussed. The Aletheians did their part in making the Christmas program a success. A scene from the "Little Red Schoolhouse" was given which carried the audience back a few years into the past. The Aletheians also helped in making the Viking Vodvil an event which will not soon be forgotten. The club was fortunate in having two representatives on the debate squad which was so successful in debate this year. We have reason to be proud of Velma Le Master and Inez Clarke. Next to the never-to-be-forgotten week-end trip, the annual banquet will be the longest remembered affair of the year. The banquet, which was held at the Victoria Hotel, was a huge success. The table was beautifully decorated in rose and gray, the club colors. After the banquet the girls spent the remainder of the evening dancing. Miss Crawford, the club sponsor, has been greatly missed during her illness. She and Miss Longley, an honorary member, have done much in helping the club to live up to the symbol of Alethia, the owl, which signifies Life, Truth and Purity. One Hundred Forty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 142 ---------- Ohijesa Club The Ohiyesa Club was organized in the fall of 1916 and since that time has made steady progress. The purpose of the club is to give literary programs, parliamentary drills, debate, dramatic and social functions. Ohiyesa is an Indian word meaning "The Winner." Soon after the opening of the fall term of 1924 the members served tea in the Faculty Room to fifty guests. Since the tea the club has had several social functions. During the winter quarter the club served a luncheon in the club rooms of Edens Hall to fifteen new members. The annual banquet was held in the spring in the Tulip Room of the Hotel Leopold with all members present as well as many alumni. It was a great success as a get- together for both the new and the former members. The officers for the year have been as follows: FALL President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Reporter President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Reporter One Hundred Forty-two WINTER SPRING ROSE KILLAN MARY WEGNER JUDITH RING CRESSA TILLEY MARY WEGNER BETTY LUCAS JEANETTE NICHOLS RUTH STROUD KATHLEEN MITCHELL DORIS MYERS MARGARET KEAN ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 143 ---------- Philomathean Club DEAR SAL: When school opened in October we found so many of the new students clamoring for admittance into the Philo Club that it became necessary to hold a try-out. It certainly was a difficult thing to choose twenty-five new members out of the sixty who tried out. When we finally had them chosen we felt that we had the "cream" of the school. At the next meeting we had the election of officers and the following were chosen to lead the club for the quarter: President . . . Guy BOND Vice- President . DICK BRULAND Secretary CATHERINE RANDALL Critic EVANGELINE SOWERS In November we initiated about twenty of the new members and it was just as exciting as ever. The Philo hand-shake and the Philo drink still get the squeals. I was so sorry you couldn't come back for the birthday party in January. There were many old Philos there. It was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philippi. We spent a good share of the time playing the Philo crap game. I can still hear them yelling, "P- H-I, oh shoot, three P's." We were all given an intelligence test on poetry, too. Catherine Randall proved to be the smartest. At a very late hour a short musical program was given and then Mrs. Philippi, assisted by her two daughters, served us with the most delicious refreshments. The huge One Hundred Forty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 144 ---------- birthday cake with seventeen green candles on it was presided over by Guy Bond. Miss Headrick blew the candles out and there wasn't much air left in her when the last one flickered out. Mr. Kolstad was lucky. He got the ring, but he didn't tell us who it was or when it was to be. "Dutch" Wilder got the hairpin and I haven't been able to find out just what that means. I got the penny and when I come into my own I am going to build a cabin for the Philos out at the lake. Oh, it certainly was a successful party and we as a club certainly appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Philippi's hospitality. At our next club meeting we elected the officers for the second quarter: President .. MERYL BYRD Vice-President LELWYN ALGYER Secretary VIOLET NEAL Critic . MARIE PAKAR On the night of the opera "Cavaleria Rusticana" we had dinner at Edens Hall before attending the opera in a body. Every Philo was proud that one of their own members, Marguerite Saddler, took one of the leading roles. I know that you have been very anxious to know how we came out in basket-ball this season. The boys had a slicker team and they won in the game with our old rivals, the Thespians. They also defeated the Rural Lifers. The girls also had an undefeated season and we are very proud of our successes in athletics. Our initiation for the second quarter was held in Mr, Kolstad's cabin at the lake. How we all got into his little cabin will always be a mystery. If you want any details as to just what occurred there a good person to ask is Freda Slater. During the spring quarter we gave an interesting assembly program. In May we had our annual week-end party and it certainly was a shame that anyone had to miss that, for it was the crowning success of the year. We learned how to play baseball while we were there, to say nothing of the skill developed in playing checkers. We all feel that this was one of our most successful years and we owe much of our success to the untiring efforts of Mr. Philippi, club sponsor. We hope we will see you at the party next year with all of the rest of the former Philos. Yours, PHI. A One Hundred Forty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 145 ---------- Rural Life Club Rural Life, Rural Life, Out on the lea, happy and free, Rural Life, Rural Life, That is the life for me. Thus the Rural Lifers sang in the Viking Vcdvil last year. They sang this and many others as they wended their weary way up Mount Constitution. Zounds! But that was a glorious day and a wonderful time. The clouds obscured the view of Bellingham, but the climbers got many wonderful pictures along with blistered heels and toes. What is a night's sleep, more or less, with the floor for a bed, when one can see such wonderful scenery? Pancakes are food for the gods when fried by the right person. At least everyone who went on the Mt. Baker trip last spring declares this a true state-ment. In fact, they were so good that another trip is planned this year to get some more pancakes. (The scenery is purely incidental). The coal mine trip last spring convinced all the girls that they would be "well off" if they could don jeans and go to work. The boys think it would be all right if one didn't do any work. The summer session drifted in and as usual the pep in the club was dis-played in a salmon bake and a trip to Friday Harbor. "Bang!" What was that? Oh, nothing. Just the Rural Lifers starting the fall quarter. The first meeting was held at Miss Keeler's. At this meeting plans were laid and the usual routine business of the quarter begun. Refresh-ments made this regular meeting into a party and thus caused the explosive start of the club functions. One Hundred Forty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 146 ---------- The real reason for having a club is to study community problems, such as may be met through club and other extra-school activities. With this in view, programs are planned of varied nature according to purpose and season such as may be adapted to the community in which one serves. Parliamentary drill is one phase of the regular program through which actual working experi-ence is gained. The club is just getting to the interesting part of a model Parent Teacher Association. It began with a meeting called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of effecting such an organization and is now ready to complete the permanent organization, delegating to the various committees the actual work appropriate to such committees. "Adam" School District bids fair to have a model P. T. A. so that anyone missing meetings is certainly "coming out at the small end of the horn." The club has continued its policy of excursions and out-of-door recreation, for it is believed that such activities are educational and wholesome for the group and community. The trip up Sehome to plant ivy and flowers was a huge success. All nature appreciated it. Even the clouds showered good wishes on the party to make the venture a success. The combination Hallowe'en party and initiation made quite a stir. A few ghosts appeared on the scene, but were scared away by the manner in which the peanuts were crossing the floor and by the vigorous waving of paddles in the hands of the initiation committee. As usual everyone enjoyed the annual Christmas party at Dr. and Mrs. Miller's. Remarkable as it may seem, there was not a flunk in consequence of the fun had. Edens Hall made money for a week or so after January 26. What, didn't you know? Oh, that was the date of the annual Rural Life banquet. Stuffed? Well, I should say so; of course, no one had indigestion, for happiness aids di-gestion, and everyone was pleased with the entertainment provided by the com-mittee in charge and by the Victoria Hotel. The annual Valentine party at Edens Hall was a "heart smashing" good time. The prizes were appropriate and the refreshments more so. With a heart as a stake, who wouldn't be a gallant knight, participating in so thrilling a tournament ! Some folks declare there is no Lost Lake. Well, maybe there isn't, for the party that went out to find it came back without having had a glimpse of the lake, and the party that was trying to find them, found neither the lake nor the lost Rural Lifers. A perfect day has been ordered for the Mt. Constitution trip this year. The members want to see all there is to be seen this time. They also hope to eat pan-cakes fried in bear grease on Mount Baker before the year is out. Not willing to neglect their minds for their stcmachs, a trip through the cement plant and another down into the coal mine is planned. If you want to see a bunch that is willing to work, having a good time, "just watch Rural Life dust." Yours for a good time till this time next year and ever after- RURAL LIFE CLUB. One Hundred Forty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 147 ---------- Thespian Club June, 1925. DEAR DON: Say, but hasn't time gone fast! Just a year ago tonight you came home from Squalieum Beach where you had called the Thespian Club to order for the last time. Do you remember how blue you felt because your Thespian days were over, and how sorry you were for me that I didn't belong? Well, when I came back this fall, I decided that I was going to get into the club or die in the attempt. I started prac-ticing a poem on my room-mate until she was certainly glad when the day for the tryout came. The tryout was awful, and when 1' saw how good Joe and Margaret and all the rest were, I thought my chance of joining the talented crowd was pretty slim, so I was more than tickled when I got my card welcoming me into the club. "My mind kind of goes blank when I try to remember initiation night. I certainly got my share of carbolic acid, cat meat, and bumps. I guess the others suffered, too, though. I believe we had a Hallowe'en party afterwards-Paul and Don say we did-but I was so dazed and bruised up that I can't remember what happened. I remem-ber I thought 1 was seeing double when I first noticed Altie and Mrs. Ford together. I'll never forget the next week, though, when Dickey and Jack tried to look uncon-cerned behind their funny masks as they walked past Miss Schwartze in the dining room. Well, we certainly had good programs at the club meetings all winter. We studied different plays and Dorothy and Lulu put on a part of "The Maker of Dreams" for one meeting. One Hundred Forty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 148 ---------- The various clubs had tables to themselves at the Home-coming banquet in Edens Hall dining room so we Thespians had a real get-together. Let's see, I guess the next important thing our club did was to give the miracle play, "The Christmas Guest," at the Christmas assembly. We did everything to the new Thespians at the winter quarter initiation that was done to us, and almost ran them ragged. Floid and Don made a hurried last will and testament when they smelled the carbolic acid. Mary's ride on the wheelbarrow was good. Evelyn, Beverly and Selma didn't particularly enjoy the hours of wash-ing dishes while the rest of us danced, but finally even they admitted that it was a swell club. The best part of the initiations came the next week. Chauncey and John spent most of their time up a tree yelling for the Thespian Club, while Jessie delivered passionate speeches on "Why Girls Are Girls!" The time when I was most proud that I was a Thespian, though, was when we pantomimed "Hiawatha" for assembly. Miss Madden coached it and, Don, it was just great! Marjory, Melba, Bradley and Slim were especially good. The Thespian orchestra played a wonderful accompaniment for the readings by Sybil and Mary. Even the Philo girl who sat next to me said it was the best assembly we've had this year. It was too bad you couldn't be here for the Home-Coming Banquet at the Leopold. Elsa was the chairman of the committee for arrangements, and she cer-tainly put it over big. Polly, Tiny, Oliver, and several other old Thespians were there, but we missed you. The banquet, speeches, program, floor and music were all just perfect. Mr. Newdall coached a clever musical act for the Viking Vodvil that was well liked. Some of the rest of us sold refreshments to help our Normalstad fund along. I wish I had time to tell you about our wonderful Philo-Thespian week-end party (get Tommy or Maurice to write about that) or the girls' basketball team, (Elsa and Catharine know more about that than I do) and all the rest of our good times, but Mr. Kibbe expects me to hand in a term paper tomorrow so I'll just have to ring off. Ida and Wilda say to tell you "Hello!"

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sponsor President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer S . Reporter The College Club was organized in the spring quarter of 1924. Although the club is fundamentally a social organization, it also stands for scholarship and cooperation with all school activities. Immediately after organizing, the members started the "Viking Vodvil," which has been accepted by the student body as an annual event. During the quarter the club presented in assembly "The Lost Silk Hat," a play in one act. The principal social event of the quarter was a dance given at the Victoria Hotel, February 7. The club was especially active during the winter quarter. It sponsored the Bensen Symphony Orchestra concert given on January 30. Then came the dinner dance at the Hotel Leopold. The club also had a girls' basketball team and worked up a stunt for the "Viking Vodvil."

President DOROTHY ANDERSON Vice-President EDITH ROMIG Secretary The Oregon Club was formed primarily for the mutual enjoyment and benefit of those students who came from our sister state, Oregon. This year the club has grown steadily. Its members are following the tradi-tions of their mother state and have gone in for hiking and outdoor sports. Early in the fall session the club held a mixer in the small gymnasium, where it was found that nearly thirty people claimed Oregon as their home either by birth or residence. Plans were made for a continuation of the club's activities. Frances Kishner was elected president and the social benefits of the club were stressed. The winter quarter was quiet, due to the loss of our president via the mar-riage route. The first official act of the new president, Freda Scott, was to take the crowd to Whatcom Falls Park in a pouring rain. We all returned cleaner and wiser. The past three quarters have been both educational and enjoyable. Under the supervision of the sponsor, Mr. Bond, trips to several of Bellingham's manu-facturing industries were made. The members have also participated in a number of outdoor breakfasts and hikes to local points of interest. Some very good things have been planned for the coming quarter as the summer session gives much opportunity for life in the open. One Hundred Fifty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 152 ---------- One Hundred Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 153 ---------- Edens Hall Edens Hall, "the home of color and light," is the home and center of most activities for over one hundred Normal girls. Recreation for the girls is well provided for. Each night after dinner an hour of informal jollity is enjoyed. Some girls spend it by playing the victrola and dancing in the third-floor lobby. Some may be found playing the piano or singing or talking before the blazing hearth of the beautifully furnished drawing room. Others prefer to spend their time walking about the campus or visiting their friends in other rooms. Miss Headrick, the social director of Edens Hall, has supervised a very de-lightful social program this year. The first event was in the nature of a "get acquainted" party which thor-oughly accomplished its purpose. A Christmas party was given to which each girl was allowed to bring a friend who did not live at the hall. Candy and toys were distributed from the tree by Santa himself. Three dances were given by the girls. The first was a Christmas dance, at-tended by about sixty-five couples. The second dance, another enjoyable affair, was led by St. Patrick and his glory of green on March 14. The third occurred during the spring quarter. Many other affairs of an informal nature are on the calendar. Every week-end sees the kitchenette the scene of several fudge parties. Then, too, boxes from home call for parties and spreads in the girls' rooms. On the whole, the Edens Hall girl feels herself privileged in her opportuni-ties for daily contact with more than one hundred other girls living dormitory life.

It was organized in the fall of 1923 for the purpose of getting better acquainted with our neighbors who came from the North Central states, to welcome those just coming west to our school, to help maintain the high standard of social life in the school and to support the interests of the Belling-ham Normal. We feel that we are truly western. The pioneering spirit, the spirit that calls to everyone for his best endeavor, has called us from the East. We love the West and have come to put our hands to whatever task lies nearest to them. Of our varied social activities this year, the splendid banquet in the Club Room will long be remembered. After a short program the purposes and aims of the club were discussed, and officers were elected for the next quarter. The bad luck commonly attributed to Friday and thirteen, especially when they fall on the same day, was deliberately courted when we carried out and enjoyed in a most happy way the big event of the year, a dancing party on Friday, the thirteenth of February, in the big gym. We proved equal to the occasion even though the man in the moon hid his face and old Satan himself came up to drive us from earth and take away our eats. Let us add that any who have lived in any of the North Central states a year or more are eligible for the club membership. In all of our activities.we have felt that success was possible only because of the guiding hand of our worthy sponsor, Mr. Lawson, who has been diligent in his work for the club.

Treasurers MARGARET TAYLOR, MARGARET MCROBERT, MARGUERITE BOYER Reporters The Sagebrush Club is an organization to bring together all the members of the school who live in Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or elsewhere in the "Land of the Sagebrush." It is a social club, but this fall an amendment made to the constitution stated that the purpose of the club should be not only social, but educational as well. Special emphasis has been placed on visiting the industrial centers of this locality. The first trip was to the fish cannery in South Bellingham. In Novem-ber the club members went to the coal mines. They put on the miners' caps, and had a thrilling afternoon, going down with the shift at one o'clock and coming out with it at five o'clock. Still another interesting trip included a visit to the sawmills. A dance given in November proved a delightful social function. The big gymnasium was made inviting through the efforts of the decorations committtee under the leadership of Florence Daley. Other committee chairmen were Ethel Paval, refreshments; Margaret McRobert, invitations; and Elsie Jensen, intro-ductions. During the present quarter the club has enjoyed an out-of-door program of picnics and hikes. One Hundred Fifty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 156 ---------- Seaffle Club ALICE FRANCIS GENEVIEVE DRESSER THOMAS JENSEN EMILY HENDRICKSON President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer .Reporter The Seattle Club was organized three years ago for the purpose of promoting interest arid social activity among the students of Bellingham Normal whose homes are in Seattle. This club has increased in membership each year. The Seattle Club St. Valentine dance, given February 14, at the dining room at Eden's Hall was the one big club affair of the year. One Hundred Fifty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 157 ---------- Skagit Club Dear to the hearts of all those who hail from Skagit county, or who have resided there a year, is the Skagit Club. The club membership this year has totaled about thirty, and we are proud to say that our members have also been active in other activities of the school. The first meeting was held in November. At this time the following were elected to fill the offices of the club: Cora Starr, president; Helen Doran, vice-president; Ralph Miller, secretary-treasurer; Libby Dean, reporter. In January Dorothy Rosser was appointed to fill the office of secretary-treasurer because of Ralph Miller's absence from school. Once the club was organized, plans were made for a lively year. On January thirty-first, the club staged a Carnival dance which proved to be one of the biggest successes of the year. True carnival spirit prevailed. Later in the evening, Helen Hightower entertained with a group of feature dances. The patrons and patronesses for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Gunther, Miss Gragg, Mr. Arntzen and Mr. Kolstad. Much of the success of the dance may be attributed to the help given by Miss Gragg, sponsor of the club, and the chairmen of the respective committees. The spring quarter was made memorable for the club members by a splendid program of picnics and hikes, happy memories of which we carry away with us as we leave.

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

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

The program of social events for the past year, including teas, mixers, and the dance given by the girls living eutside the dormitory, is in itself evi-dence of her interest. Her greatest undertaking, perhaps, was the organization of the Women's League, an association long needed by the women of the school. ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 14 ---------- OLIVE EDENS H. E. FOWLER M. BELLE SPERRY HORACE G. RAHSKOPF ANNETTE H. VAUCHAN VICTOR H. HOPPE English and Oral Expression Twenty-five courses in composition, short story novel, poetry, drama, and essay, including literature both American and English, are offered in various quar-ters of the school year. Composition and Methods are required, but hundreds of students each quarter elect other courses in the department. Many teachers, feeling the need of a cultural background and breadth of vision, specialize in English work. The Expression department included in the English work offers twelve courses in vocal training and dramatic interpretations. People especially interested in dramatics or debate find this department very helpful and interesting. The in-structors in both dramatics and debate are admirably fitted for their work and are a source of inspiration to their students. Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 15 ---------- IJ.11.fi.N D. BISSELL JOHN RRNAL M. W. HECKMAN LINDA COUNTRYMAN GERTRUDE LONGLEY Industrial Arts This department stresses a high degree of technical skill in woodwork and drawing. The following subjects are taught: Elementary Woodwork, Advanced Woodwork and Cabinent Making, Wood Turning, Wood Finishing, Organization and Administration of Industrial Education, Advanced Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drawing, Freehand, Perspective and Practice Teaching in the Training School. Every year many well-trained teachers are sent out. An extensive study is made of courses and equipments to be used in grade and high schools, for the best advancement of industrial work in the schools. .-- o- -- Home Economics The Home Economics Department is primarily planned for those who wish to teach Home Economics, but many courses are open as electives to other students in the school. Eight of the thirteen courses offered here are required for those who are special-izing in this department, including three methods courses. Advanced Cookery and Table Service is valuable to every girl. In this course the students actually prepare and serve luncheons, dinners, and teas, managing them and computing the costs. In the Dressmaking and Millinery courses the girls not only make pretty dresses and hats, but they also study correct dress, color harmony and combinations of materials. Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 16 ---------- MAEEL ZOE WILSON MARGARET ZURBRICK LILLIAN M. GEORGE MARY ELLEN RINGER Library The Library of the Bellingham State Normal is rated as one of the best in the Northwest. This is largely due to the work of the librarian who for many years has been collecting the best works in every subject for our library. The aim of the librarian has been to have such books as are adequate to meet the needs, aims, and interests of a teacher-training institution. Because teachers must have o;her knowledge in addition to professional knowledge, the library has devoted a large part of its twenty-eight thousand volumes and five thousand pam-phlets to history, art, literature, science, sociology, and other subjects. There are one hundred fifty magazines in the periodical rooms. These maga-zines have been carefully chosen to keep the students in close touch with contem-porary thought and action. The juvenile library is a training laboratory where students learn regular li-brary work. This library contains three thousand volumes of carefully chosen books for children. It is well patronized by the training school pupils. The fundamental aim of the librarian is to get these books into the hands of the students. No limit is placed on the number of books each student may take. One quarter of Library Instruction is required of first-year students so they can use the library intelligently. The aims of this course have been to teach students methods in libraries, the use of books, magazines, management of school 'libraries, and the choosing of good literature for children. The library is one of the main tools by which a teacher can become efficient. Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 17 ---------- MARIE CAREY DRUSE MRS. M. LANDIS STUART HAZEL PREAKEY MARIORIE D. JOHNSTON Art and Handicraft Department Here the aim is nothing less than the awakening of higher aspirations through the development of appreciation and enlarged observation of beauty in nature and art; also the cutivation of better possibilities of usefulness to others by an artistic use of the materials at hand. During the mid- year exhibit, visiting students took notes on the many useful devices that were displayed in four rooms where work suitable for pupils of all ages could be found; pretty little cutouts for the tiny tot; something for the boy; things too numerous to mention for the older pupils. Many a grown-up looked wistfully at the various shaped baskets with touches of color, *woven bags and runners, draperies, decorative designs and many other charming accessories for the home. Most worthy of mention was the exhibit in March when work done by the Studio Art Club predominated. Easels and screens were draped with the depart- ment's most colorful draperies, batik and textiles of various weaves as a background for the creations in water color, charcoal, crayon and pastel. Cunning baskets ap-peared in many places; bright-bordered table-runners found appropriate places, and at a well-appointed table, tea was poured and served by members of the Art Club. It is from this department that the student teacher will go into some remote community with clever hands and an appreciation of beauty, and will recognize in children the possibility to develop mind and soul by awakening his aesthetic powers, or bring happiness to those who are passing with senses closed to nature's loveliness.

LOVEGREN GEORGIA POWELL GRAGG Department of Mathematics and Business Education Under the direction of Mr. Bond, various courses in mathematics are offered, which include everything from Review Arithmetic to Elementary and Advanced Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. Classes in History of Arithmetic and Phil-osophy of Arithmetic as well as methods for intermediate and grammar grades are given. The success of those trained in the business department is largely due to the fact that the instructors take the natural ability, initiative, and power of the student and develop these to the highest point of efficiency. The courses offered are Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Business English, Typing, Business Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Spelling, and Penmanship. A student wishing to have Shorthand count toward graduation must complete at least eight hours of work in that subject. The student who presents Bookkeeping or Typing in fulfillment of the Group Elective must complete at least eight hours of work in the subject, but either may count toward graduation as a free elective of four hours. This department is equipped with a Burroughs adding and listing machine, the Monroe calculating machine, which is wonderful in scope and simplicity of operation, and an A. B. Dick duplicating machine. Special instruction in the use of these machines will be given to any who wish to fit themselves for the special lines of work in which they are used. Mrs. May Lovegren handles the extension work in addition to her duties in this department. Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 19 ---------- IRVING E. MILLER, Ph. D. DELIA L. KEELER L. A. KIILE FRANK S. SALISBURY WILLIAM J. MARQUIS The Education Department The Education Department, which is really the nucleus of a Normal school, covers the following fields: Psychology, Child Study, Observation and Methods, Rural Education, School Law and School Management, Principles and History of Education, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, and School Administra-tion. In these various lines about thirty different courses a year are given, dis-tributed through the four years of the college course. During the four quarters, about four thousand students are enrolled in classes in this department. The ideals of the department call for highly trained teachers, specialization of instruction, and sharp focusing of the work on the problem of teacher training. Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 20 ---------- MRS. L. A. GAUL ANNA ULLIN Foreign Language At present French and Spanish are stressed in the Foreign Language depart-ment, though Latin and German are sometimes given. A variety of courses are offered, so that both beginning students and advanced students may find work every quarter along this line. For beginners, Elementary French and Spanish are given. The direct method is used, in which pronunciation and idioms are particularly noticed. Advanced classes in composition, grammar, and literature, as well as special courses in pho-netics are offered. Special methods classes are given for those who expect to teach language in Junior High school. Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 21 ---------- JESSIE AMES BELTON HARRISON RAYMOND JOHN ROY WILLIAMS ETHEL GARDNER Music The Department of Music offers instruction in piano, stringed instruments, and voice training besides the courses in the method of public school music. As prerequisites to these latter subjects, sight singing and fundamentals of music are given. Students have also been able to take electives in History of Music, Har-mony, Conducting, and Appreciation. Besides the music that is taught in all grades in the training school, the Girls' Clef Club of the Training School has been organized. Both Normal and training school orchestras have proved successful and are great favorites at assemblies. Among the musical activities are the Clef Club, which has for its membership twenty-four selected women; the Men's Glee Club, also of selected membership; and a Normal Quartet, composed of women, and a Double Male Quartet.

HUNT History and Social Science This department covers a wide range of knowledge which up-to-the-minute teachers must know if they would b° community leaders. Instructors in these sub-jects teach that all subjects should be presented in relation to their bearing upon the problems of today. The history courses embrace all phases of European and American history, in-cluding the World War period. Courses in history method are offered each quarter, covering important points in presentation. In social science, courses are offered in principles of sociology, rural sociology, social problems, economics, community civics, comparative government, commercial and political geography. Interesting courses for electives are offered from time to time: as, Northwest History, Geography of Asia, and Reconstruction of Europe. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 23 ---------- HI-.

HEADRICK Science and Physical Education The Science department has four well-equipped laboratories affording excel-lent facilities for teaching of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Hygiene, Nature Study, and Agriculture. It has a three and one-half inch astronomical tele-scope, which is used in courses in Introduction to Science and Nature Study. This department aims to give direct preparation for the teaching of Hygiene, Agriculture, Nature Study, and Elementary General Science in the elementary schools and high schools of the state. It also serves to enrich the scientific background of a student. The Physical Education department, with Miss Long as head for girls and Mr. Carver for boys, aims to give methods in teaching athletics as well as to training the students themselves. Courses offered in this department include such methods courses as Coaching, Plays and Games, Marching Tactics, and Schoolroom Gymnastics. Elementary and Advanced Folk Dancing are given, as well as Aesthetic Dancing. Swimming is now required of all girls, making a total of four hours' gym work required for grad- uation. Practice Teaching may be given in this department to those who are special-izing in Physical Education. Students are given health examinations upon entrance and secure the services of a nurse and physician throughout the year. Closely allied to this department are the two athletic clubs of the school, the "W" club for men and the W. A. A. for women.

This is the education of the pupils in the school for citizenship in the social situations which they encounter in school and later life. The work carried on in this department is intended to be along those lines which will best fit both teachers and pupils to meet situations as they find them in life and to make the proper response. The aim is not to cover just so many pages in a text book, but to provide experiences for the student which will have a real value in his later life. Among the activities connected with the Training School are the orchestra, a girl's glee club, a health club and athletic teams. These and others of a similar nature afford the best possible teaching in co-operation and good citizenship. The student teacher receives practical training in the schoolroom and learns how to handle many of the situations which arise in the work. As soon as the training teachers consider that the student teacher is capable of handling the daily routine, they leave the responsibility upon her, so that she develops initiative and confidence in her own ability. The training teachers are always ready and anxious to help solve any of the difficulties which may arise. The aim of both training teachers and student teachers is to instruct in such a way as to develop the initiative and resourcefulness of the pupils to the highest possible degree.

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

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

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

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

Seventy- two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 73 ---------- Football Of a total of five games played, B. S. N. S. won three and tied two. Coach Carver develcped a grid machine of real college calibre. The completion of Waldo Field and choosing of the team name- Vikings-coupled with the winning of the minor college championship, caused 1923 to stand out as a stellar season. It set a high mark for future teams to strive for, and will long be remembered in B. S. N. S. football history. SCHEDULE Oct. 13 Here Viking . . 7 C. P. S. 7 Oct. 27 There Viking . . . 19 U. of W.

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

Normal hopes were shattered when, in the last few minutes of play, Pesquain, C. P. S. tackle, dropped back and kicked goal. The game ended with the ball in Normal's possession in midfield. The line-up-Dawson, L. E.; Goodman, L. T.; Bartsch, L. G.; Lindstedt, C.; Knowlton, R. G.; Bowman, R. T.; Keplinger, R. E.; Bruland, Q.; Beardsley, L. H.; Vanderford, R. H.; Wilder, F. B.; subs, McPherson for Wilder; Graham for Vanderford; Anderson for Keplinger; Wilder for Beardsley; Dunnagan for Ander-son; Keplinger for Goodman. VIKINGS 20 - ELLENSBURG 3 The Vikings again proved their superiority by the decisive defeat of Ellens-burg, November 16. The Crimson and Black played a hard game but came out with the short end of a 20-3 score. It was a proper christening for Waldo Field, dedicated on this date. During the first quarter Wilder went through for the first score. With gains from Beardsley, Graham and Wilder the second touchdown was made. The local backfield again went across in the fourth quarter. Robinson, Ellensburg, drop-kicked from the forty yard line for the easterner's solo. VIKINGS 27 - CHENEY 13 In the big Turkey Day game the Viking squad added another victory to their string when they defeated the Cheney Savages. Playing real football, the Vikings had Cheney helpless. Wilder, with excellent help from his mates, took the ball across for three touchdowns. Bruland went across once for a pretty one. Cheney scored twice as a result of blocked punts.

In return games with the two latter schools, the Viking squad decisively defeated them. Cheney, accustomed to playing on a large floor, swamped the locals in the first game at Fairhaven Gym. However the lighter and smaller Blue and White tossers showed the Cheney Savages a hard fight in the return mix, outpointing Cheney in the second half though unable to overcome their lead gained in the first half. For the season total the Viking squad scored 370 points to their opponents 313. "Maurie' Thomas was high score man. The line-up is as follows: Forwards-Graham, Thomas, Vanderford.

Of a total of six games played, Normal has neither lost nor tied a single game. At the opening Conference game, May 1, Normal won from the University Frosh by a score of 4-2. The University Babes made their two runs in the second inning. The Vikings made one score in the first inning and tied their rivals in the third. In the fourth the locals brought in two runs.

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

MILDRED JOHNSON-Guard Mildred played on the defensive side of the game and won h r place on the team by her close guarding and quick passing. EDNA MCKELVEY-Forward Edna was good at eluding her guard, and in piling up the score for the Freshman team. MRS. HELEN HANNAH-Forward The other half of the Freshman forward machinery. A good, steady player and always on the job. Eighty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 88 ---------- Volleyball Following the close of the basketball seascn the girls began playing volleyball. When the weather permitted they played outside, thus enjoying the spring weather and the game at the same time. The Tulip Festival delayed the Sophomores and Freshmen in playing off their game, but they met at the close of the first six weeks. Both classes had worked up good teams and the game proved very exciting. 0 Baseball The last six weeks of the spring quarter the girls played baseball out of doors. A great deal of promising material turned out both for the Sophomores and the Freshmen. Miss Frank is coaching the Sophomore girls, while Mrs. Foster has the Freshmen squad. A lively game between the two teams is expected by the end of the season. - - -- - Field Hockey This, a new sport to most of the girls, was introduced this spring. Many girls who did not care about the other sports have shown a great deal of interest and turned out in force for hockey. The athletic girls of the school received it enthusiastically also, and any day, a group of girls might be seen on Waldo field, learning the game. The Freshmen are turning out and learning the rud'ments of the game under the capable instruction of Mrs. Foster, while the Sophcmores are receiving the same instruction from Miss Frank. The coaches hope to have two teams whipped into shape by the end of the season so the Sophomore and Freshmen may have a game of field hockey. This sport is well liked by the girls and will probably become a major sport in the school. Eighty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 89 ---------- Waldo Field For many years Bellingham Normal has been handicapped by lack of a good athletic field and gymnasium facilities. In spite of this fact, the teams sent out by the school have always been of a high standard. One of these handicaps was removed this year by the completion of Waldo Field. It is named in honor of Pres. D. B. Waldo, who was instrumental in providing the school with an up-to-date athletic field. Dedication exercises were held on November 16, 1923.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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