XXIX—NO. 41 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 9, 1930 I I Nortnalite HOBBY CLUBS MOTHER'S DAY NATIONAL PASTIME YE DAIRY BOB WALTERS Teaching Profession Augmented By Eight;/ Two Reappointments We read of the value of keeping the children in the grades and high school well occupied in some useful ventures and thus keeping away the thought and tendency toward crime, t h a t come with idle hands. In the big cities this is fairly well handled by special staffs of game instructors and so on. But in the smaller com-munites much of this is lacking. With the aid of some of the professors, in a short time.here at school, t h e students could work out various ideas for hobby clubs and other ideas that would prove useful for the future teacher in giving pupils something to occupy themselves with outside the classroom. W. S. N. S. We have listened to articles and orations on the "punk coffee at the dorm." Then on the other side we hear the statement that the best grade of coffee is being used, and used in the best way. Why not bring a representative up (he'll gladly come) from the coffee concern, and get him to check and see if the coffee is being made in a manner to get its true flavor into the drinker's cup? Then both can forever hold their peace. W. S. N. S. Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment Bureau has made several appointments during the past week. Vivian Tubbs will teach grades 5 to 6 in Chinook, Vera Lahti has been re-elected as teacher of the third and fourth grades in Springdale, and Clarence Ragan and Beatrice Sturgis will teach grades five to eight, and 1 to 4, respectively, in East Sunnyside. Louis Bassett has been re-elected as teacher of a rural school at Harstine, Bertha Herold will teach the fifth and sixth grades in O'Brien, and Harold Ruthruff will be the superintendent of the Glenoma school. Buryl Bailey has been appointed principal of the Pleasant Valley school and will also teach grades 5 to 8. Harold Rush is to teach grades 5 to 8. Harold .Rush is to teach English in the Junior high school at Port Townsend, Margaret Pender has grades 1 to 4 at the McRae school, and Irene Mc- Kenna will teach the sixth and seventh grades in Falls City. o INTEREST IN VODVIL SHOWN IN RESPONSE FROM ORGANIZATIONS Eleven Different Groups Sign for Tryouts in Annual Vodvil To Be Held On Next Thursday. Under Direction of Victor H. Hoppe the Play Cast Is Swinging Into the Gait of a Finished Show. Occasionally we stop to closely examine what is on the bulletin board, besides the official morning edition, and often find posted a lot of ballyhoo about some small college or nor-may school having a summer session. —-W. S. N. S. As far as a very large per cent of us are concerned, the ravings over t h e beauty of the section might just as well be saved, also the postage stamp and the nice glazed paper that it is printed on. Wouldn't it be nice to gaze upon a big printed sheet alongside of that blaring out, "the Normal nestled among the evergreens, with broad sloping terraces down to the smooth, shining waters of Paget Sound—come take in one of these summer sessions?" W. S. N. S. Sunday is Mother's Day.' Letc have a champion step out amongst us and start a campaign. One that would induce everyone at Norma] school to send at least a card home to the "sweetest one." And thereby have, a Normal 100-per-cent Mother's Day remembrance. W. S. N. S.-J— The National pastime is in season here at Normal. To you that have never heard of the Nation's favorite sport pastime, we mean baseball It might be a National drawing card, but we doubt that it rates very high here at Normal. During football season everyone moaned over the slackness in attendance at the opening game, which was a walkawaj practice affair. W. S. N. S. At the opening baseball game last Saturday, and openers usually draw big, the crowd was unsually small, even for Viking crowds. Maybe it is a National pastime, with "hot dogs, sody pop, cr-racker jack, and peanuts" on the side, in some of the big towns, but they seem to prefer either basketball or football here at Normal. W.

APPLICATIONS To consider the granting of life diplomas, the Life Diploma Committee has been holding .frequent meetings. Up to date two hundred and forty-five applications have been received. Several more meetings will be necessary in order to go over all the applications. _o MISS BUCHOLZ GRADUATES Miss Ruth Bucholz, former secretary of President Fisher, has completed a course at the University of California and is now graduating from the Senior class • of that institution. Miss Bucholz had been here for a number of years serving as secretary to both Dr. Nash and Dr. Waldo, former presidents of this school, as well as to President Fisher. The cast of th eDrama Club play is rapidly shaping up for the showing of Philip Barry's brilliant American comedy, "The Youngest," which will be given May 22 and 23. Miss Lou Griffin, playing the leading female role of Nancy, is giving a fine interpretation of the gay, young society girl adept at molding men to her will. Opposite her, playing the repressed, impressionable and boyish role of the Youngest, is Tom Durham, as Richard Winslow, who is putting real fervor and charm into the role. Quentin Quick, as Oliver Winslow, the pompous head of the family, square-toed, heavily moral and humorless, is making a real Babbit out of the part. Jean Philippi, as the cultured and conventional mother, is'very adequate in her concept of the wealthy woman, rather bewildered with the frankness and blunt-ness of the younger generation. Mrs. Lulu DuBois, bringing the production seasoned ability from many rich experiences in Little Theater, gets the catty, bored quality of the young society matron in an unusually delightful fashion. Lew Lovegren, playing Mark Winslow, adds to the entertainment a touch of negligent elegance typical of the ladies' man. Bernadine Brown, as the irrepressible college girl, is crisp, cool, droll, and modern. Charles Dewey, as Alan, the lawyer brother-in-law, suggests the serious, fine restrained, normal sort of fellow. Virginia Howell, playing a small role as maid, is doing important work as assistant director and business manager. In accordance with past practice, an entire new stage setting is being designed and built by the Play Production class. The setting is a draw-ingroom interior with a variety of color and light, luxurious appointments, and a formal, yet graceful design. Phild Plans Made; Will Cruise to Olga Philos a-yachting will go when they take their week-end trip next Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, at Crescent Beach, on Orcas Island. They will sail Saturday noon on the yacht Thetis, and will return Sunday evening. While over there, the club will dance Saturday night at the hall, and there will be a climb up Mount Constitution for the "husky" Vikings. Club members may invite their friends, and there will be room for a few students who would like to take the trip. There is a list on the Philo bulletin and those wishing to go may sign on the paper. The cost of the trip, according to Al Brayas, president of the Philos, will be $2.50, but this includes all expenses, o Interest in the annual spring Viking Vodvil, which is to be held here on May 19, is rapidly awakening. Eleven organizations, including the faculty, the office force, both classes, and all the prominent clubs, have signified their intentions of presenting acts for the try-outs, and two independent acts have also signed up. The try-outs, in which the most entertaining and suitable acts for a finished vodvil are selected, will be held next Thursday, May 15. Bert Cole, manager of the Vodvil, is highly pleased with the way entrants are working on their acts. Since there is not much time before the try-outs, considerable effort will be necessary to insure the presentation of a well-finished performance. Bob Carboneau has been chosen as assistant manager and Franklin and Clarence Lock will act as stage managers. Mr. Cole wishes to announce that he and his assistant are ready with any information or advice that may be needed, and that the stage managers will give any required aid in stage presentation. Managers of the several acts must report to Mr. Cole the nature of their intended performance, in order that there may not be a number of similar offerings. o Sports Informal to be at Leopold Hotel Tomorrow evening the Men's Club will conclude its season of activity at the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold, with its sport informal. The dance is to be the spring review of collegiate attire. The ladies may choose sport dresses or informal frocks, either of which will be in vogue, while the men will wear light-colored trousers or knickers for the affair. The dancing will start promptly at 9 o'clock and continue until midnight. Ed Hunnicut, chairman of the dance committee, has been working to make this the dance of he season. o_ ARTISTS' COURSE UPHELD At a recent meeting of the Music Teachers' Association of Bellingham, the question of dropping the Musical Artists' course was discussed. The Association decided to uphold the concerts and appointed members to express their favorable opinion to President Fisher and the Women's Music Club. o EDITORS ANNOUNCE, BIG S U R P R I S E ON DISPLAY IN CO-OP —And this is the surprise announcement! When you're rushing around in the basement today—perhaps after some red tape in the Co-Op, pause a moment at the display window on the left —and look! "Gee, and it's a dollar and a half a pound!" "Bet there is a catch in it." No hitches, no catches, and no hooey—it's the best obtainable, and will be bestowed upon the holder of a "certain" Tri-Normal Track Program off the press by the 23rd of May. Yes, you have guessed it— a' $5.00 box of Canterbury Chocolates purchased not from a "district" dealer, but from a down-town firm which is interested in Normal affairs and is a Viking booster. Go down and give a glance! ANNUAL CLEANUP OF NORMAL CAMPUS TO START TUESDAY Majors Appointed to Get Rake and Broom Brigade Organized for Annual Clean-Up Campaign. E BEING HAD! Adele M. Jones Heads Committee In Charge of Arrangements for Commencement Exercises. PICNIC AT ROCKS Miss George was hostess to Miss Plympton and members of the Library Staff at a beach picnic held Saturday, at the "Rocks." The high spots of the party were the steaks which were broiled over an open fire and the biscuits which were baked by means of a reflector. The party left town in the afternoon and returned in the evening, walking to and from the South Side carline. HUNSAKER TO SPEAK To talk on the promotion of World Peace, J. J. Hunsacker will be in Bellingham from May 17 to 25. He will talk to various organizations, including the Normal International Relations Club. Mr. Hunsacker will be remembered by many students, as he spoke here last year for the same cause. ALUMNUS HONORED Jean Marquis, daughter of Dean Marquis, and a former student of Bellingham Normal, has received high honors at Stanford University, which she is now attending. Miss Marquis was awarded the Stanford Residence Scholarship and was elected treasurer of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. o NORMAL STUDENTS TO BE IN RECITAL Miss Edith Strange, teacher of piano, and member of the Normal School faculty, will present a group of her students in a recital at the Fine Arts Auditorium, Wednesday night, May 14. The following persons, whose names are familiar to almost every Normal student, will appear on the program: Jean Philippi, Chauncey Griffith, Vera Gin-nette, Muriel Myhre, Mary Miller, Betty Bellman, and Irene Wilson. This recital will feature ensembles, two pianos with four and eight hands, and many new and interesting combinations which have not been heard in Bellingham before. Normal students are cordially invited to attend. In observance of National Music week, which is a time set aside by the nation to be devoted ti gt; arousing interest in music, Miss Strange presented a group of pupils, many of them Normal students, in a pleasing recital last Wednesday in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Commencement plans are being made and a committee in charge has been appointed .which is comprised of Miss Adele Jones, chairman; Victor Hoppe, Herbert Fowler, Harold Smith,. L. A. Kibbe, Maude Slawson, Grace Moore, Marie Druse, Hazel Breakey, Ruth Weythman, Hazel Plympton, Mildred Jewell, and Alice Houston. Mr. Kibbe, Miss Breakey, and Mrs. Houston, representing the faculty, will assist the Alumni committee. The program for Commencement week will be as follows: Saturday, June 7—Girls' Field Day. Alumni banquet and dance at Edens Hall in evening. Sunday, June 8—Baccalaureate. Tuesday, June 10.—Class Day exercises. Victor Hoppe, adviser. Wednesday, June 11—Faculty reception. Thursday, June 12—Commencement Exercises. The music and decorations will be in charge of the music and art departments respectively, while the physical education department will have charge of the processional and recessional. o T. N. Press Service To^Start Very Soon A news service to be known as the Tri-Normal Press, under the initial letters of T. N. P., has been inaugurated among the three Normal schools of the State by the Northwest Viking. The plan is to exchange about six inches of copy weekly, with the Cheney Journal and the Ellensburg Campus Crier. This will enable the students to keep in touch with what is happening in the other schools and bring about a closer relationship between the three similar institutions. It is planned to condense the most important sports and other news articles each week for the other papers. This will be handled by James Pelley at Cheney, and Kermit Smith for The Viking, while the Ellensburg T. N. P. editor is yet unknown. o Former Normalite Starts Cab Company MANY ILL Miss Mead reports that Bob Walters has been ill with influenza. Ethel Adams has been ill with the flu, but is back in school. Ruth Shepherd has been confined to her room with a sore throat. A number of students have colds and sore throats. Miss Mead is unusually busy because Miss O'Malley is taking her vacation this month. o NEW MAP RECEIVED A new map of the United States has been recently received by the Normal school. According to Mr. T. F. Hunt, of the Social Scienc* Department, it is one of the latest and best of this type of maps on the market. The map, which fills a long-felt need, wu?£-be used in the teaching of geography.

H. Macgill Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren ALL W O R K A N D N O P L A Y— Only five weeks more, and the quarter will be over These five weeks will be crowded ones for many students, burrowing through books and papers, conning facts, making grades and forgetting that these five weeks are offering the finest, brightest spring days of the year. Other students will be letting their studies go just a little bit to take advantage of then-last half-quarter in one of the most beautiful natural playgrounds in the United States. Too many Bellingham students, while not exactly bookworms too easily forget that they are living all the time they are m schoo "learning how to live," and pass up the finest opportunity that they will ever have to enjoy themselves. They become so immersed in encyclopedias, text books and old periodicals that they never play tennis or stroll around the campus, or eat at the Rocks, or climb Chuckanut, or take advantage of any of the other magnificent beauty spots which are in Normal's own backyard. If you have a test coming up that you can't look in the face, don't try to prepare for it by cramming all Sunday afternoon at the library. Buy half a pound of beeksteak, a nickel's worth of buns, a few pickles, some butter, and a bagful of fruit, and spend the afternoon lying in the sun and watching the bay swells break in over the Rocks. It will amaze you how your soul will expand and the test, if you still remember the test, will shrivel up to something like its true proportions. o F A C U L T Y CHALLENGE No doubt the Normal men and women students will accept the challenge of the Faculty people for the two baseball games to be played Campus Day. It would be rather pleasant to swing on a ball pitched by a hardbdiled instructor and knock it a quarter of a mile up Normal drive. CAMPUS DAY Next Tuesday will be Campus Day, with the whole school turned out to clean up the familiar environs. All the girls will be prettied up in pseudo-working garments, and all of the big boys with lots of strength will be chasing all of the little fellows around with paddles making them do all of the heavy work. There will be digging and picking up on a small scale, and loafing and laughing on a big scale, and a good time will be had by all. The dance should be gay and the sports exciting, and all-in-all the day should be one that we will remember a long, long time after we are all broken down, out in the field. V I K I N G VODVIL The Student body should get behind this Viking Vodvil. Of all the activities which the Normal people traditionally engage in, the Viking Vodvil can be made the most interesting. Once every year people with ideas, a sense of humor, and ability to entertain have a chance to display them, and to utilize their ingenuity in working out an evening of Vodvil entertainment. Last year the Vodvil was well received, and this year should be better, what with all of the new talent and a lot of the old. There should be enough material for a Vodvil show in the pep band alone. Every club in the school should be represented in the tryouts, as well as individual groups. With a good manager and plenty of time, the Vodvil this year should climb to a new high mark on the year's cajendar. (Newspaper Profs. Challenge Future Teachers toBall Game Following Clean-up ARTICLE I Today I had occasion to visit "Prexy's" office and I was greatly surprised, to say the least, to see Bever, Carver, and several other members of the faculty playing marbles on the floor. I joined in and in the course of the conversation I was able to gather that our chemist, Harry Pnilippi had discovered the fountain of youth. It had been a secret until I inadvertantly stumbled upon the result of it. Charlie Fisher says, "I feel younger every day, and you ought to see "Jimmie" Bever turn flipflops". "Bill" Marquis was overheard saying, "Our ball team will beat anything in the country, and we will challenge anybody to a game to be played anytime, anywhere, or anyhow, the sooner the quicker''. Vic Hoppe puts the challenge in a direct form and is seconded by "Eddie" Arntzen, "We„ja.re pointed for the campus day game," they say, "when the question of supremacy between the 444 men of the school and our rejuvenated selves will be settled. We want to say that this will be a battle of the century and that nothing will be spared to show our real ability". It appears that the feminine members of the faculty have stolen a march upon the more timid and self effacing members of the same sex who are mere students, and claim the "All Normal ChamDion-ship". Headed by the sparkling example of "Biff" Weythman, the self styled champions have issued a sweeping challenge to the women of the school. "Biff", in a personal interview, says: "Our sluggers, "Killer" Kangley, "Pastern" Piatt, "Sock-em" Shumway, will drive in enough runs so our pitcher "Jump Ball" Jewell can call in the rest of the players and still win. They will show for one day only, May 13, in case the flappers of the school accept the challenge. This is an unprecedented chance to see such stars "Dippy" Doty, "Highball" Horton, "Mak" McPherson, "Ozzy" Osborne, "U" Ullin, and "Sunshine" Sundquist. We hope that the girls accept, this challenge and put a crimp in the hopes and vanity of these all-stars, who have it all their own way in-more than one way now. HHHHHHHHHHHH ENNY'S RAINLESS 1 X KJ • • • • • • • HHHHHHHHHHHH Well, here 'are, studes. We've just finished figuring something out. You know, of course, how this student body has been criticized regarding its behavior in assemblies. Criticism has even descended to certain classes and certain individuals and, believe us, we have not escaped it. Remembering that the bloomin' faculty has done its bloomin' share in the matter, we were greatly astonished and greatly delighted when in the intermission of last Friday's assembly program, we counted seven faculty members as they nonchalantly arose from their seats, mingled with the crowds of bored students, and vanished. (Ah, but we do appreciate mathematics. Numbers are so impersonal and so damning.) But we were altogether confounded! We were absolutely stuck for a reason for the departure, too. So we did a lot of figuring. * * * At first we thought, well, maybe they, by golly, didn't want to stay and, accordingly left. But no, that thought didn't last long. That anyone should not care to listen to programs of such unapproachable quality as ours! Inconceivable! (And curiously, last Friday's concert was good.) * * * And we couldn't imagine that they lacked the common courtesy to sit quietly through even a poor program, merely for the gratification of the striving performers. Oh, my! We're sorry we ever thought of that. Gee! * •• gt; ••* And then we thought that they, well—that maybe they hadn't noticing their programs much, or something, and thought it was all over. But, then they had programs, all right; and gee! you know they should be able to tell when one piece stops and Another one starts. So that was all off. * •• gt; * Then we thought of several reasons. We figured that, well; maybe one had started, and then the next had followed, and so on. You know, the way sheep do. Or, maybe they had been sitting there, daring one another to leave and, gee! you know how faculty members would be on daring! But all that seemed farfetched, and we were still sitting and wondering, when—bing! It hit us like a stray bolt from, a passing airplane! The reason! * * * They were going out there to capture, reprove, and punish the students that went trotting Of course! And, now that we think of it, we have heard rum-off in that discourteous way! ors that any studeni leaving an assembly without a very good reason shall be punished by three slaps on the wrist with a bare corset steel! Ah, hah! Wc guess that'll teach 'em. And the next time we sec any faculty members leave, we\-v. going to listen carefuly and see if we can hear the agonized screamings of the unfortunatt-s who have been caught. And we won't think badly of the faculty any more. * * * Probably the head to this column doesn't apply to the sort of boloney we've been dishing out here, but we don't feel funny, this week. It's still by-golly "Benny's", all light, and therefore, it's "Brainless," without a doubt. And we've cut it into "Bits." Run along, now! o Normalites Earn In Devious Ways A„ „„ „„ „, „„ „„ „„ .„ „„ J - * - KU mi ui gt; i m — - t - a j, A large, yellow house stands well back from the street. Before it the lawn, with fresh green patching through the darker raggedness of winter's grass, slopes gently, then cuts down to the sidewalk. At one side of the house a holly tree bulges and bristles stiffly. Various small bushes are neatly arranged about the lawn and an awkward Scotch broom waves in loose fashion at one comer. An early morning sun glints coolly down across one corner of the house. The broom trembles very, very gently in the chill of a slight breeze. A group of book-laden girls, silent in the resentful gloom of early awakenings, come into sight; pass, and go, the clicking of their heels echoing lightly as they round the corner. Silence. More silence! Horrors!

Campus Day is one of the few days of the year when personal pleasure and school benefit are enjoyed simultaneously. This is your opportunity to show not only that you have pride in your campus, and an enthusiastic school spirit, but also that you understand the art'of co-operation. In keeping with former years, the students will be assigned to special groups, whose duties are toward beautifying the campus. Some call this day a holiday, but they merely mean it is a day free from classroom and library. To make the 1930 Campus Day a success, locate your crew, then work, eat, and play to your maximum capacity. TRACK TEAM TRAVELS TO C. P. S. Today we find our track squad participating under the Blue and White colors of the Normal school in the annual track meet with the College of Puget Sound. In the past years the College of Puget Sound has held the high end of the score when the last event was run off. The way things look at the present time, C. P. S. may repeat their feats of old. But there will be some fourteen or fifteen Viking men that are going to live true to the Viking spirit and give every bit of strength possible in order that the Belling-ham Normal team may come home successful. BIGGER AND BETTER VODVIL! Again the time approaches for that ever-looked-forward-to event of the year, the Viking Vodvil. For years past the students of old have looked forward and planned hard for this big, final climax of events of the regular school year. Every season marked improvement has been shown—but this year? Yes, we have kept up the standards by putting, on a, Vodvil of a high class of entertainment— one that every one enjoys and one that shows decided improvement over any that have been given in the past. This is only logical, though, for everything betters itself from year to year. The least we can do is to show our average amount of improvement to make the Vodvil a real success in all ways. VIKINGS MEET ST, MARTINS THERE It will just be an avenging nine Saturday, at St. Martins College, when the Norsemen horsehide maulers meet the St. Martins' diamond squad for the return game of this season's schedule. Just a week ago the Vikings took a little set-back when St. Martins came out with the long end of the score. Don't you wory, a true Viking is never whipped. If I have my ideas correct, those nine men and Coach "Pop" Gunn will come home with the bacon tied on their best bat. They can do it and they will do it. Did you ever see a Viking quit? FASTEST HUMANS FROM EAST Of all the events in track, public interest at the present time seems to have focused upon the hundred-yard dash, for the great George Stimson is running under the colors of the Ohio State University. Fighting bravely a field of six sprinters, all of whom had been clocked at :09.6 seconds or better, the Buckeye shattered the world record and acquired the unusual name of "the world's fastest human." Simpson stepped the century in :09.4 seconds during a season when Michigan's flash, Tolan, and Texas Christian's star dash man, Leland, were making the distance in :09.5. It appears from comparison of the past relay carnival that the East is burning up the track, especially in the sprints, while the West is holding the lead in the weight events. Such athletes as Rothert and Krenz of California, and Jessup, of the University of Washington, are upholding their part of the West. Another successful sprinter, Eddie Gordon, the lanky negro boy from the University of Iowa, promises to experience another big year. He is a natural born jumper, equally good in the high and broad jumps. Last June, Gordon took first in the broad jump at the National meet, with a leap of 24 feet 8% inches, to defeat Hill of Southern California, •who won the I. C. A. A. A. A. title m the broad jumps. VIKINGS 60 SOUTH TO AVENGE DEFEAT Normal Varsity, Twice Beaten, Are Determined to Beat Laccy Lads On Their Own Field. W. A. A. MEETING Tomorrow the Viking ball team travels south to meet the St. Martin College nine in an attempt to avenge the defeat handed them Saturday by the Lacey Lads. To date the Vikings have lost two ball games, the first to St. Martin's last Saturday. 5 to 2, and the second last Wednesday to College of Puget Sound, 10 to 8. Both games were close and the outcome was in doubt until the last inning. Tomorrow'? game with St. Martin's College should be a nip and tuck affair. Wednesday's game with C. P. S. was a hectic one in which some weird baseball was seen. Things were going along rather smoothly for the Vikings until the third inning when a bomb exploded and the C. P. S. boys scored five times. Iverson replaced Blankenship as pitcher at this point to stem the tide but the damage was done. In the next inning Graverock hit a terrific ball to the south end of the grandstand scoring a homerun and bringing in two runners ahead of him. From then on it was anybody's ball game, the Normal team several times catching up with the Tacoma lads, only to have the "Loggers" pull away in the next inning. Following are the lineups and the score: C. P. S.—Gynn, second base; Le Penske, left field; Plummer, center field; Carnero, right field; Tomko, third base; Grant, first base; Petti-bone, pitcher; Spadefore, short stop; Baker, catcher. Normal — H. McCleary, catcher; Thorsen, first base; Dixon, center field; Eacrett, short stop; Peder-' son. third base; Blankenship, pitcher and right field; Iverson, left field and pitcher; Graverock, right field and left field, Miller, second base. H. R. E. C. P. S 12 10 3 Normal 8 8 1 Saturday saw St. Martin's College emerge with a 5-to-3 victory over the Vikings in a game which was in doubt until the last inning when the College boys pushed over two tallies to put the game away. Up until that time the Vikings were hold ing their own and looked like they might win the game. Both teams played good ball, the margin of victory being in the ability of the St. Martin team to make their hits count. Blankenship for the Normal and Costa for St. Martin's did the pitching, both holding their opponents to but a few hits. Sigrid Wiberg Made Head of the W. A. A.

Lawrence Tibbett will be remembered as one of the artists who was heard in Bellingham this last winter. The- money taken in from the ticket sale will be used toward the balance of the debts on Viqueen Lodge, the W. A. A. camp on Sinclair Island. Katherin Zeran is in charge of the committee for the drive and working under her are Louisette Bergeron, tickets, and Marion Marchand, advertising. Also on the ticket committee are lola Grue, Alice Sabcock, Joyce Arnold and Vera Peterson. W. A. A. members will co-operate in selling tickets. There will be afternoon performances at 35 cents a ticket, and the evening price will be 50 cents. o TENNIS MEN TO PLAY MOUNT VERNON TODAY Sigrid Wiberg is the new president of the W. A. A. for.next year, succeeding Ruth Sammons. Other officers elected, are Thelma Engle-son, vice-president; lola Grue, secretary; Lois Thompson, treasurer; lone Shumway, recording secretary. The girls holding these offices during the year, in the same order are Joyce" Arnold, Margaret Sheppard, Ray Bendixon, and Alice Babcock. Election was held last Tuesday evening in Room 119. _ O : GIRLS ATTEND PLAY DAY ATUNIVERSITY Twenty girls, from the Women's Athletic Association, went to the University of Washington, Saturday, May 3, for the annual sports' day. The girls left in cars early in the morning, and arrived in Seattle in time for registration at 10 o'clock. Representatives were divided into color groups, so that on each team there would be members of the different schools. Prom 11 to 12 a regulation swimming meet was run off each one of the color groups entering a team. Although many of the girls did not swim well, it was thought valuable experience for them to see how a swimming meet was carried out. A luncheon was served to the schools at the Commons, and several talks and a short program vieve given afterwards. Ruth Sammons, president of W. A. A., spoke for Bellingham. Afternoon Sports Offered In the afternoon, volleyball, baseball and basketball were played, and at 3:30 o'clock a program of natural dancing and clogging was given by students of the University. Tea was served later by women of the college and at five o'clock the girls left for home. The purple group, which had three Bellingham members: Katherine Zeran, Marjorie Coventon and Margaret Sater on its team, won the greatest number of points. Schools that participated in the sports' day were Bellingham and Ellensburg Normals, College of Puget Sound, and Mount Vernon and Centralia Junior Colleges. About fifty girls were there from the outside schools, and the teams were enlarged by several University girls on each group. • . o :' GOLF PROVES POPULAR WITH GREAT NUMBER ..

As Mr. Philippi says, he must have been full of physical exuberance, or something. Blaine Stubblef ield, a writer in the University of Washington Daily says: "There is no more mystery about the behavior of a woman than there is about the antics of a calf."

ONE OF THE .GREAT MOVE-MENTS OF HISTORY WAS THE MUSCULAR MOVEMENT LED BY GENERAL PALMER. • * * * * ' • • ' , Quotation from a song recently heard in assembly: "My lover is a fisherman, and he's come to take me away." (The meter of this poetry, is'like our gas meter; irregular, but it makes time.)

As a result of the preliminary try out of the Extempore Speech Contest, held Tuesday, February 8, at 8 o'clock, six speakers were chosen from the seventeen who participated. So closely matched were the speakers that the committee of judges found it a very difficult matter to pick the six winners. Each contestant spoke for five minutes, without notes, on a chosen topic, having had but one day's preparation. Six Win Coveted Places Following are the names of the six winners, together with the topic upon which each spoke. Clara Jacobson, "Religion . of the Modern Girl." Edna Smith—"Ideals and Dress of the Modern Girl." Borghild Jensen—"Youth and the Future." George Allez—"Why the United States Should Arbitrate her Difficulties with Mexico." Sverre Arestad—"The Editorial Policy of the American Press." Jack Kellogg—"The Influence of the American Press." Other contestants who tried 'out were: Fred Smith, Bryan Hankins, Roy Sundstrum, David Totten, Victorio Velasco, Harold Lant, Catherine Lawrence, Alice Endsley, Irene Young, Rea Newman and Pearl Rhodes. Contest Has Good Aim To be able to stand on one's feet and speak well, and to think quickly and clearly on short notice is the excellent aim of this contest, making it of unusual value to a teacher training institution. Those who tried out, but were not STUDENT LOAN FUND ORIGINATED IN 1904 $20,000 is Total Capital of Stu- • dent Fund at Present. Statistics Show 3 5 0 Notes Are Out Now. (Continued on Page Four) The Student Loan Fund which was begun at the Bellingham Normal in 1904 under the sponsorship of Charles Allen of Seattle friend of the school has at present $20,000 in capital This money is held in trust by the Board of Trustees and loaned at six per cent interest to students, who are recommended by faculty members. • No' student, who is ambitious and wants to complete his course, needs to drop out of school on account of low funds. Many students would be financially unable to continue their course if it were not for this fund. Freshmen may borrow $75 and Sophomores $200. The money is given to the students in sums -of $25 or $50. Application to the Board of Trustees must be made and the student's" credentials passed on. The only security needed is the guarantor's sig-• nature on the promissory note. There are 350 notes out at the present time. The senior class of 1904 donated the proceeds of their play for the purpose of starting this fund. Mr. Allen suggested that a campaign be conducted and that for every dollar raised he would match it with the same. ' A sum of approximately $5,500 was realized. This made a total of about $11,000, which was added to the fund. At the present time the fund has a capitol of about twenty thousand dollars. - RAPID GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL D U K PAST LED TO ADOPTION OF PLANS The construction of the new library building is the first great step in the fulfillment of the Bellingham Normal School's building plans, which were drawn up to provide for a definite plan of growth for the next twen-ty- fioe years. As Basketball Season Draws to Close Spring Sports Loom Athletic Horizon The basketball season draws to a close and prepares to go the way of the red flannel, and ear muffs. We look ahead for something to take its place. Of course,. nothing can take the place, of those moonlight walks with '''her?', aiter the game. But some of us claim that spring sport still has *its charm, along with robins, spring poetry, and. "Keep to the; Walk" signs. At any rate, this year should be a good one for those interested iiV track ^ baseball. ' •-'; . Coach Sam Carver announces that Me;;tfriiNorma^meet is to be- held' herefton ;May; 1, ,1927. A lpoj^atthe track situation here reveals the fact that three lettermen will be eligible for competition when Mr. Carver issues his preliminary call. Lyman Stickney will run the 440," Cosboen the mile, and Earl Hemmi, the sprints. Several of the distance men are already doing the laps, around Waldo field. The date for .the regular turnout has not been determined. ' • Coach Carver reports that, four baseball lettermen have returned. They are Don Patterson, pitcher; Myron Estill, shortstop;' Lyman Stickney; ?,outfield;^,and ' vEarl -Kep-° lingerr';third'.,;pase.ft\^^^ .- The rapid growth of the school during the past years, and a thorough study of the needs of the school in the years of growth ahead, have led to the adoption, more than a year ago» of the plan, under which new buildings, unit by unit, as rapidly as funds and conditions will permit. This building program will embrace a period, which, as a standard, has been .set at twenty-five years, but in view of the recent rapid developments, will probably be much shorter. Buildings Come as Needed The new buildings will be added in the order of their importance and need. The Library, now under preliminary work, is the first unit in the twenty-five year plan. Gymnasium to Follow A Gymnasium is to follow the Library, then a modern Training School building. With the increasing student population it will be necessary to provide facilities to provide more accommodation. To meet this need, a Dormitory for men, another Dormitory for girls, and an additional Athletic Field follow in the plan. The last structure to be added to the campus will be a spacious auditorium, a Sylvan Theater, Chimes Tower, and others. All the new units, like the Library building, will be of permanent construction, designed with a view to beauty and utility for many years to come. The twenty-five year plan will make possible the addition of new units fro'm% time to time, as funds and conditions permit. . o REPORT OF KLIPSUN EXPENDITURES MADE Cost of Annual Publication Will be Approximately $3050. i Sale of Books to Cover the Expense. BOARD OF CONTROL FAREWELL BANQUET Ghuckanut Manor was the scene of the Board of Control banquet, held February 6. The affair was in the nature of a homecoming welcome to Mr Bond, faculty representative on the Board, as well as being a farewell to George Allez and Kirvin Smith, president and vice president, who retire from office at the end of the present quarter. Those attending incuded President and Mrs Fisher, Mr. Marquis and Jean Marquis, Miss Skalley, Mr. Ruckmick and members of the Board of Control. EXPECTS HARD JAUNT. CLMM Games Arranged with St. Martin's College, University of Washington Freshmen, in Viking Trip. Another hard jaunt is due Coach "Sam" Carver's Viking basketball quintet February 25th and 26th. To date no game has been scheduled for Friday the 19th, although Coach 'Carver has tried to engage some team of worth for that date. On the trip~ the Normalites will engage St. Martins College on the 25th, and the University of Washington Freshmen on the 26th. Although the Normal-tes took the verdict in the first; games with these quintets, they will'' find their opponents out for revenge of their first defeat, and since .they are playing on their home floors, their chances are strengthened considerably. Vikings Have Won. In the first encounter with St. Martin's, the Vikings fought desperately to gain a 51 to 40 victory overthe Lacey men. Last year, the^ Vikings went to Lacey and took a beating at their hands. If the Vikings play basketball at the speed they have been showing on the local courts they will, no doubt, come home victorious. Normal defeated the U. of W. Freshmen in the first game between the two teams by an eight-point margin, the score being 32 to 24. Tb* Frosh have unusual'strength and on their home floor are a hard team to beat. For the forward positions Coach Carver will take Keplinger, Odell, and Harper At the pivot position, either Jensen or Thorsen will see service. Isaacson, L. Stickney, and Bensen will perform at the guard posts. JWWWWtfWWWWWWWJ! The financial report made by_ Kathryn Leach, editor, concerning the expenditures of the 1927 Klip-suii shows that the approximate cost of the publication will be $3050. This includes $1100 for engraving, and $1050 for printing. The photography will be paid for by the students, when the pictures are taken.

The pupil activity work which is referred to here is the publication of the Junior Messenger. Teachers, who are going into, communities^ to endeavor to accomplish something, should bear the Junior Messenger in mind. Take a copy of the paper, glance through it, then read it more carefully with this in mind—notice the differences in interests among the pupils from the pre-primary grades to the eighth grade. The Junior Messenger is the best indication of children's interests, likes, dislikes of books, life experiences, sense of humor, wit, use of language, powerfulness of expression, attitude toward school life that can be procured within the realms of the Training School. T o find so much information in so little written material is remarkable. It is especially advisable for Normal students, who will do student-teaching, next quarter, to learn as much as possible about the boys and girls with whom you will be privileged to deal, before you teach. This can be done to the best advantage through the Junior Messenger. It will also be a test of your knowledge of child psychology. This experiment if properly executed, would be an excellent and beneficial supplement to your observation. - Some students in this school could derive an unlimited benefit from a little more extensive reading. If you have not already done so read Chekbv, Tolstoi, Dreiser, Untermeyer, Gissing, Gorki, Voltaire, Zola, D'Annunzio, and Dunsany. It might be advisable also to pry into Sisk's unpublished works. '•• The sponsors .'" of the extempore speech; contest^ the first try-out of which took place. Tuesday evening, should be commended for their worth-while initiative. Competition in these extempore' speeches r affords students opportunity todevelop their public-speaking: abilities; and the fact that, the speeches are semi-extemporaneous in. nature also adds merit to it. The students have to think on their feet; rtheir minds have to think -and work and organize their speeches almost without preparation. . There, is, hovyever, a point on which the contest may be. improved. Why not make.it entirely and absolutely extemporaneous. As it is, the stduents - or contestants are given the list of subjects to select from in the morning preceding the evening of the try-out; they are given, therefore, a chance to do a little preparation. Asjde from the fact that the contestant "has- the pivilegc to select the subject . in which, he thinks, he is most ready to speak, lie is still given a few hours-to organize his materials, thus making the speech not purely extemporaneous. An extemporaneous speech is one which is given with little or no preparation. If we are after the outcome, that is, better speeches, why not make the contest an oratox-i-cal one, where the contestants might be given weeks to prepare •••."their orations and bring to their audience worth-while expositions -with adequate research and preparation? In spite of all these, however, thei extempore contest which is just in its experimental stage, proved beneficial to the students, and more of it is in demand. Kxmmmamm Student Opinion vmmaammai : H ;.^ Dedicated to the Hicks.;:: 7 ? In 1905; so the story runs, it was quite ,a; popular custom to -remove and takei home. the decorations from tlie-party for one's best girl. Es-? pecially- card-board designs tacked to the: wall, and banners/and streamerswere ^removed, and the. young rascals, of that remote period got quite a thrill out of. it, i t is said. Of. course, in the real cities it was out-of- date, even then, but down, on-the farm and in the "HIckville Junctions" it was all the rage. It seems that a few of these ancient hicks have drifted into Normal. At every party this year, the decorations-"have all disappeared. During the middle of the .evening the' swains " begin jumping nobly up for the pendant streamers and the best girls carry it all. home. We are often, accused of beingJEIicks, up here.- Perhaps we are if we allow such an ancient, hicky, small-town, rube custom to continue. ...'.' 1 SEEB^K O P I I ^ -v.- : Of all the multifarious forms of wit, I;^ think malicious and unkind sarcasm is. the cheapest.

I t is like a keen knife that cuts deep and takes long to heal. ; SEEKER OF TRUTH Pre-Primary Children Practice to Make Valentine for Mother Speaking of reading, it is not always the prolific reader who has the best literary equipment. But, to be ignorant of the Authors mentioned above (the greatest number of them contemporaries) is a pedagogical offense as loud as the gust of the north wind on Valentine's Day. - It is not in keeping with the best principles of ethical pedagogism to remain inheritently ignorant, as it were, of the great men of literature. Spend a few more hours-in the library and a few less in the halls. You will not regret it. That "stuff" that is thrown out so promiscuously in the corridors is neither inspirational, thoughtful nor worthwhile. If you wish to be a communicator of excellent ideas as were Emerson and Cole^ ridge you will have to seek other sources than the main entrance, the " r e c " hour, or the front walk. Now that the excavation for the-new library is under way it is almost certain that construction will take the field in a very short time. Before that short time elapses, you who will be here to carry on the work of the Associated Students, next year,.and the year following, should get some office space reserved. T o work efficiently it is necessary to have adequate equipment and room. T r y to get office rooms for the Klipsun and die Messenger in the new library building. The Moroni Olsen Players set a great many of our students thinking. I f they didn't think the Messenger has the wrong conception of the type of students who attends school here. Some of you probably found out t h a t you were more dead than alive. Well if you did you undoubtedly got fifty cents worth of information that you were unable to disclose to yourselves. Probably some of us who have never been beyond our home town found how men act when they are left on their own resources entirely devoid of the conveniences and necessities of every day life. Read Service's " T h e Cremation of Sam McGee" (not with a critical attitude) and you..will have a wonderful supplement to the Commander's address. . There is a certain monotony in connection with the publication of a newspaper. On the other hand however, the reporter has the satisfaction of knowing that he is disclosing a great many facts to his public in addition tothinkingfor atleast fiftyper cent o f it. - A : comment is due the officers of the Freshman class for keeping the organization on.a firm financial, basis, For the first time during the l a s t few years has the freshman class been able to pay its bills.

President Fisher spent a few days at Olympia last Aveek explaining to the legislators the needs of the Normal School, particularly its library. That is the proper way. Legislators, who are inevitably politicians, don't devote much time ~ to thinking orr good legislation. It is necessary that they be educated. If they cannot be brought to school, bring the school to them. After all, legislation, that is successful legislation, begins in the individual legislators. Youth and the Future. In the midst of the complexities of present civilization there looms before humanity's eyes a tremendous bulk of weighty problems in need of prompt and right solution. Out of the mistakes and bitter experiences of the past, the glaring blunders of nations, and the erratic movements of statesmen, the present intellectual world faces a "today" and a 'tomorrow" charged with a responsibility as great as it is sacred. The history that is to be, the events that are to come, are in the hands of present intellect for the making. Inevitably, therefore, the obligation falls upon the youth of today, whose destiny is in the pages of the future which, in turn, will be moulded by their hands. Political disturbances, wrangles of nations, pathological situations of society, the proper bringing up of a growing institution, and countless other problems growing out of civilized society's needs, are problems for the youth of today. The destiny of a nation which is in political unrest and social turmoil rests upon the. vision of a prophet and the sagacity of a statesman; cast your eyes upon that nation across the seas, the present China, where the conflict of political doctrines is working a menacing havoc over the entire society-of civilized humanity; glance at the recent history of Italy, whose destiny has been brought about amidst the roar of a mad-stricken mob; recall the sensational incidents in ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 February 11 - Page 2 ---------- 46191*VIKINGS W^flllE CONTEST Team Eliminated From Tri-Normal Race by Stinging Defeat, at Hands of Normal Burlington at V I K I N G S L O O K GOOD Jensen Stars, 'Giving Rermakable "Exhibition of Shooting Savages Have Trouble in Throwing. - Running J n championship form, the Vikings swamped the rival Cheney Savages,- 46-19, Monday evening in the Whatcom High gymnasium and thereby gained the upper hand in the race for the tri-normal basketball title. — r The "strong Savage outfit, doped as onerof the state's best-hoop teams, . was completely routed after the first few minutes of play by a Bellingham attack that was brilliant, yet steady. Jensen, Normal center, led the play with rarely-equalled basket-shooting, that netted him twenty-two points. First Half Is Slow' The game opened with both teams playing cautiously. So slow, in fact, were the first ten minutes, that only four points were scored. Ray Odell broke the ice with two points via the foul route after four minutes of play. Soon after, Smith, of Cheney, looped a nice field goal to knot the count. Odell added another foul; Moore one, and West, a field goal to give Cheney a 5-3 lead— the only time during the entire contest that the Savages were in the lead. At the end of the first half, the score stood 15-7, Bellingham's^favor* Vikings Get Going As the second half opened, Jensen found his basket eye and began a steady bombardment of the basket that netted him sixteen points in the last twenty minutes. The Vikings began breaking fast, and ran the score up to thirty-two before their opponents counted once. The team was playing almost flawless basketball. Cheney substituted freely" during the 4ecqn lt;| half, but to no avail. Bel lingham succeeded in running up thirty-one points to the Savages' fourteen. " • ' " ' " Jensen Leads Scorers Jensen, Viking center, was high ^point man with twenty-two and Odell counted sixteen. Smith led Cheney with seven. For Bellingham, Jensen and Stickney were oustanding, while Smith turned in the best game for Cheney. Summary: After playing on. even terms throughout the first half, the Bellingham Super-Varsity broke loose in the last half to connect with the basket consistently and win from the Burlington High School basketers, 39-26. The game was played as a preliminary to the Bellingham- Clieney battle. The two centers copped high point honors, Hawkings taking the edge with 13 markers. M. Hein for Burlington came close behind with "12 points. Blizard and McClurken played good games for the Supers, each converting four field goals.

The whole Bellingham team worked in true championship form, outpassing and outshooting the strong Wildcat line-up. To open the game, Ray Odelf sank two pretty long shots, giving the Carverites.a lead that was never lost, never even threatened seriously. Largely through Odell's accurate basket-looping, Normal ran up the score to 21 -7 at half time. Carl Keplinger, Odell's running mate, was playing bang-up ball, his few snots and many passes contributing largely'to the scoring.- As the second half opened, El- Iensburg sank two field goals and a foul, showing its best play of the game: Odell and his team-mates then got into action and piled up an unapproachable lead. The work of Isaacson, who guarded Joe lies, and Stickney was almost flawless, while Jensen, although off on shooting, played his best floor game of the year.

The final score was 49-30. The whole team played smooth ball throughout the fray. , The Junior Varsity is a team, that cannot be understood, according to Coach Harold Keeney.' They will play basketball one night to beat a strong team, but in the next tilt, they will let their opponents run over them. Playing from the pivot position, Bob Fisher put in a good game for the winners, making several long shots, and tossing some in from the rebound. Blizard took high point honors for the Jayvee team, and was truly the individual star. of the "game, working well with his team mates. Thorlakson and Bowler put in excellent games at the forward posts. At the defense, Morse, Lundberg, and Meek checked their opponents to a low score.

The anditorhim' was well filled and the townspeople af well" as the students agreed that the presentation was excellent. Theme Rarely Dealt With - l i e theme of the play is one that is rery 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 gt; "Outward Bound" for Heaven and Hell. Their adventures during the voyage and the way .in which the other passengers accept the situation, gives the play an appeal which holds one from beginning to end. Olsen i s Well Cast. -Moroni Olsen played the part of an energetic, unscrupulous, self-made millionaire who neither gave nor • ^ asked a second chance. The part of Ann was taken by Miss Dorothy Adams, whose personality and ability added to the .quality, of the performance. Ann's lover," Henry, .was depicted by Harry Allen, who did justice to the possibilities of the part. Miss Janet Young, as Mrs?*Midget, the timid little charwoman, 'supplied both pathos and humor throughout the play. Tom Prior, the dipsomaniac, who, although he was dead, had not forgotten his love of stimulants, "was successfully played by Byron Kay Foulger. . The society matron, Mrs. Clivedon- Banks, who wished there was "someone on board," was skillfully portrayed by Miss Leona Thatcher. The Reverend William Duke, the enthusiastic clergyman, whose presence so annoyed Mrs. Clivedon-Banks, was played by Gordon Nelson. Joseph H. Williams appeared as Scrubby, the steward. Harry Nelson as the Reverend Frank Thompson, was most pleasing in his jovial matter-of-fact way. As a whole, the presentation was well handled both from the standpoint of the ordinary theater-goer and that of the critic. NEW CLUB FORMED FOR RURAL PEOPLE Miss McPherson Elected Faculty Advisor. Anyone Interested in Rural Work Permitted to Join. A group of about twenty-five students met last Tuesday for the purpose of forming a new departmental club. This club is for those taking the rural course and who are interested in rural problems and" situations. The study of Ihese problems will constitute the main program of the club. Miss McPherson has been elected advisor. The officers elected are: Mae Blomberg, president; Miss Pierpont, secretary-treasurer; Miss, Smith, reporter; Miss Edith Nelson, inter-club 'council representative. All who are interested in this line of work are permitted to join. PERMIT LEGISLATURE CLASSIFY PROPERTY • By a vote of 73 for and 20 against House Bill No. 163, a bill to submit a constitutional amendment permitting the legislature to classify property, passed the House of Representatives on Thursday February k Representative Reed of Mason county moved to substitute House Bill No. 163 providing for four general classifications of property set forth in the constitutional amendment itself, and almost the entire discussion during the three-hour session while this bill was under consideration was directed toward the difference between a constitutional amendment setting forth the classification in the constitution and House Bill No 103 permitting the legislature to make the classification. ... The friends of classification urge the necessity of relieving farms and homes and real estate generally of some of the burden which lias become too heavy for real property to bear. The classification amendment will permit of the taxing of either sources of.revenue to accomplish this .end. - ;•'. • •"—O-LUMMIMT. HIKE NEXT SATURDAY ; Next Saturday the W.,A.

The center of homage was the transformed laundry, simply but effectively arrayed in the apppropriate attire of red and white, relieved by strings of small hearts. The well-planned and delectable dinner was made more pleasureable 'by the various interesting stunts and numbers instigated by the program committee. Place cards were small valentines enclosing, pleasing verses to be read aloud. In one of the numbers each table composed a few verses which were read later for the amusement of everyone. Other features of the evenings' enjoyable hour were the passing offavors and dancing by Miss Violet Loo between courses; an entertaining reading by Miss Evelyn Tawlks; lively stunts by individuals; a reading of the amusing though interesting suggestions and objections contributed to the "Advice Box"; and lastly the bi;monthly house-meeting. At the last official house meeting of Nichols Hall it was decided that interest could be added to the meetings should each member answer roll call with a joke, stunt, song, quotation or whatnot. All those who fail to contribute are requred to pay a forfeit of "one centime." Another source of interest is the "Condolence Box" upon which the following is inscribed: "Tell your troubles to this friend And maybe by chance they will end. (Jokes and stories may also be submitted. Will be read at house meeting)." . O ; The' Cedars. The early risers at the Cedars enjoyed a hike up Sehome Hill last Saturday morning before breakfast.

DR J O HN LECTURES ON CURRENT TOPICS Makes Four Appearances at School Before Students, Faculty and the People of Bellingham. Dr. Frank Bohn of the New York Times, entertained several.groups of students and town pfeople in a series of lectures delivered in the Normal School auditorium on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Due to not being able to meet a train, Dr. Bohn was unable to speak to the students at 10 o'clock, Monday morning, as had been planned. He arrived in time, however, to speak to the students at two o'clock that afternoon; "United States and the World" was the subject of his talk on Monday afternoon. The main purport of the talk was the growth of our modern imperialism. He gave examples of how American capital was more or less ruling the economic world. In his lecture, Tuesday night, he stressed the necessity of checking the spirit of jazz in the United States. Jazzy press, jazzy music, jazzy cheap magazines, and jazzy youth are the predominating features of the prevalence of jazz in this country. In iregard to the jazzy pressj he declared that it is known by its "screaming headlines, its preference for the sensational and its disregard for truth." Recent specific instances of the tendency of some newspapers to write up stories, in order that they might sell the paper, that are nothing but lies was alluded to by Dr. Bohn. In. answer to a question, Mr. Bohn said that a newspaper should be judged by its presentation of news. In denouncing the sensational magazines he said that they were "either filthy or silly." Decentralization is the problem to ..be" faced by the United States is his claim. There is too much of Chicago, ami New-York, well, it is three times as large as Chicago. "The curse and blight of being led by a city, civilization" is the problemj / he says; He suggests a return; to the ivy covered cottage. "/•',.. In ending this lecture, he says, no matter how things seem to be now, (Continued on Pags Two) Calendar of Events FRIDAY, Oct. 28--Recreation:Hpur, Big Gym ^TURDAY, Oct. 29—Vikings vs. Sti Martin's College^ Waldo Field,; ;^;-• 2:30;;p.;--m.^..;.-^;.."'^;.'::;;J;:-;v-;v ~ ^.i;r% J;::':- :^i^r^^CP-:{% ' TUESDAY, Nov. i^-KarLKruegeiy'le^rels in a. m.

A strong support from the students tomorrow will aid materially in bringing a crowd to the Homecoming, game, while a maximum of student activity at Homecoming will reflect to the credit of the school throughout the entire state by way of the Alumni. . ' —: Or— r • Remember the slogan, "Were Going to Beat Ellensburg". Don't forget H.. Don't, let anyone else forget it. Let's have it ringing in the air all next week. What Are We Going to Do to Ellensburg? . We're Going to B E A T ELLENSBURG! Not wishing to miss any possible part of the voting public, the Miles Poindexter for Senator committee released to the Weekly Messenger with other state newspapers the statement of Washington's erstwhile Senator regarding his candidacy and related matters. For which the Messenger feels duly honored. It would seem, from his statement, that Mr. Poindexter, having made the world safe for democracy during his previous incumbency, would like to aid in making America thoroughly safe for the Republican party. There will be a real honest-to-good-ness pep assembly Friday, Nov. 4. 7 To create excitement and the "pep" to put over the slogan "Beat Ellens - berg"; also to formulate plans for the "Homecoming." "Ace" Sherwood is preparing, a dance questionnaire, so that students may get the fun they desire out of "rec hour" without being bothered by the numerous troubles we now have. It is also planned to paint the slogan "Beat Ellensburg" on each and every pair of "Campus Cords" in the school and for the girls, the same on the slickers. Bellingham Offers Many Things of Interest to Students of the School The City of Bellingham as.we see it today, was formerly made up of three small towns: New Whatcom, Sehome, and Fairhaven (now South Bellingham). Its early growth was due to trading and fishing. But of the last thirty-five years its progress has been due to lumbering, salmon canning, poultry raising and dairying. However, it has many other beneficial industries with large payrolls, such as a sugar factory, cement company,.and pulp and paper manufacturing plants. „ With the exception of last winter little or no snow has fallen in the immediate vicinity of the city for the last three" years. It is doubtful whether or not the frigid precipitation would measure even so much as a foot of snowfall. For diversion of hikers and other recreation seekers, Mt. Lookout, in the Lake Samish district, and Chuck-anut Mountain, near South Bellingham afford .splendid opportunities. Also in the San Juan group stands ; Mt. Constitution on Orcas Island, over 2,400 feet in altitude which overlooks all the Northwest's islands, and gives a splendid view of the Cascade and Olympic mountains. * *. * * Over 7,000 children are attending Bellingham Public Schools this year, * » ». * Seattle is now at least five miles closer to Bellingham due to the shortening of the Pacific Highways north and south of Everett. . . # . » * • » ; • Over fifteen hundred pupils are enrolled in Bellingham's two high, schools, Whatcom and Fairhaven, and in several smaller junior high schools. .. • "*• #• * * » : Lake Whatcom, the third lake in size, in the State of Washington, borders on the east city limits" at a suburb called Silver Beach. The city gets all of its water from this lake and consequently no swimming is allowed in it, but it is a playground for many boating parties and fishermen. Lake Whatcom is over twelve miles long, having a depth which is immeasurable in places. — n - n • M -f TIPSY LINES By Lino Type Courting Trouble Once a poet in- a poem- wrote a line upon this theme— And I'll quote it as tie wrote it, .

Well, listen... She glances over, the populace and then booms out in a loud sonorous voice. '/Which of{ you boys is gonna help me plant this here vegetable seed?" "*. "Not I", said the dog. , "Me neither," said the cat. "Ditto", said the pig. "Then go to the devil,";- says the Little Red Chicken, "I'll do the trick myself," and she done it. '"' When the corn has growed up she asks would they please help her make monshine but. of it. Just to be ornery they says "NO",., just., like that... So the little red cock-a-doodle makes her own licker. Then the time comes for to guzzle this illicit, and the little chicken says, "Now boys, will you help me drink up this stuff?" "You said it girlie," answers the canine. "Lead me to it," says the kitty. "Can a duck swim?" says the pig. Now, what do you suppose the chicken done?. No, you're aU wet. She didn't drink it herself. Instead, she says to herself, "this is a good chance to get even." So she calls to them come and get it!" So, they drinks and drinks until the dog and the cat get so sick they has to stop but the pig keeps right on until it is all gone.. And what do you suppose it done to him? It made him blind, and that, my friend, is why we have blind pigs today. # * * # SOPHS WIL HOLD MASQUERADE I t seems that all the Sophomores with the exception of one will be in attendance at this sumptuous struggle. It is said that Dean Edmund-son refuses absolutely to be present. Dean says he's off of masquerades for life. The last one he attended, his partner kept insisting Dean's mask be removed. The pathos of it all was that poor Dean was not wearing a mask. * * » • # . GIELS I . ! ! ! - A wonderful new process Do you want a real permanent wave? Look what we did for this little girl.

Little Ambrose has been off meditating in solitude ever since. When he comes back, we're going to give him one that will keep him away for good. # * # * Due to heavier pressure of work as result of mid-term tests, the Service department of the Normal School which does all test mimeographing has utilized all extra help in its office. The class of typewriting is preparing for its initial speed test which will be given from special test forms furnished by several typewriter firms.

The initial basketball turnout of thewinter willbe held Monday in ^the little gym at four o'clock, when all candidates for the second and third teams, and those varsity men not playing football will present themselves to_coaches Carver and Jewell. From pre-season indications, it appears that both teams will be at least equal to their last year's strength, when they copped the Class A and Class B City League titles. As . before, they will enter these leagues in hopes of nosing in first again. Regular turnouts will be on Monday and Wednesday at 7:30, and on Tuesday and Thursday at 4:00. Numerous veterans from-both of last year's championship squads, together with a wealth of new material of unknown caliber are expected out, giving the Normal basketball horizon a rosy hue. Former Supervarsity veterans now in school are: Jack Harper and "Zeke" McClurken forwards; Harold Hawkings and "Occie" Thorsen, centers; and Don Stickney, guard. Of these, McClurken and Harper will be but Monday, with the others expected immediately at the close of the football season. -] • The Jayvees have five members of their 1926 Class B championship outfit back; "Granny" Thorlakson and Milt Meek, forwards; Bob Fisher, center; and George JLundberg and Theo. Norby, guards. '•_• Wade Moore, a star of the Cheney Normal State Championship team of four years ago, is in school, and is expected to play Class A ball until the Varsity season begins. Another star, who is counted on heavily as a Varsity bet is Ted Clarke, one of the best running guards developed in this state in the past few years. He, too, will probably be with the Supers for a while. The two city leagues in which these teams will contend were organized Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. The Class A organization will be composed of four teams—the Viking entry, the Y. M/.C. A., Roland Wreckers, and Baker Lumber Yards. In t h e "B" League, the vollowing will be represented: Normal Jay vees, Pu-get Sound Power Light, Shell Oil Co., Modern. Woodmen, American Legion, Y. JLC.t A, Bellingham Teachers, Jr. O.U. A.

Equipment Ranks with Best When Completed. Plans have been made for three new,tennis courts on the three lots running parallel with High street. The courts will be situated between- Baughman's and the.west side.of the new street. There is a 12-foot fill on half of the lots, in the rear. The tennis alleys will run at right angles to NHigh street. The courts were originally intended to be finished for last spring but it was deemed very dangerous due to the fact that i t had not settled^ well and there is the danger that the asphalt might crack. It was decided to let the courts settle well over the winter, making them in excellent shape for spring, insuring level and permanent courts. Tennis has become so popular at Normal that accommodations for the students has become a serious matter and this problem has come to the fore as one that needs attention. Mr. Fisher is realizing, and is solving the situation, and has made preparations for the future by planning tennis accommodations that will rank; with the best in the state. WASHINGTON W.S.C. IS BIG COAST GAME The Purple and Gold of the University of Washington waved triumphant- over the Crimson and Gray of Washington State College Saturday afternoon, when the Husky team defeated the Cougars by a 14-0 score. The battle was held in the University stadium at Seattle, where the Huskies brushed past the fighting Cougars to annex the state championship for the season and the right to continue undefeated in the race for the.Pacific Coast crown. It was a struggle between the two lines with the Husky line spelling defeat to the Cougars. In the crises the University had the power both on offense and defense necessary to put across the two touchdowns and then hold the two hard attempts of the State College to score. The Oregon Aggies went down to defeat, 20 to 6, before a highly polished, smooth and speedy Stanford Cardinal eleven. The first .score came in the initial period, when the line plunging of "Biff" Hoffman gave first "blood" to the Cardinals. Dick Hyland, Stanford halfback, paved the way for the final touchdown by intercepting a pass and racing to the Aggie forty-five-yard-line. Straight football by the University of Idaho, sent the Montana Grizzlies growling to the tune of a 42-6 score. The Montana team tried an aerial attack which failed. Four of the passes were intercepted by the Idaho squad and put to good advantage. The Vandals used straight line plunging, and essayed few end runs during the game. Perrins, substitute left half-back, was the star of the game, making two of the six Idaho touchdowns. A strong, fighting California eleven, looking more like the great wonder team of' years ago, handed the Olympic club of San ( Francisco a smashing~defeat, the final score reading 21 to 0. , The Bear8 using" an aerial attack, combined with a good assortment of line plays, completely overwhelmed the all-star club team.

Frosh; therefore, ; after counting up and figuring with these scores the Vikings will take the short end of the score. But just wait and see.

It must be granted that he is the best, or at least one of the best Viking ends ever to wear the blue and white. He is one man that can be banked upon to play a consistent game. He hasn't the weight that many of the men he plays against have, but he is smart and heady, and can always be banked on to fulfill his assignment. Watch Oscar Thorsen tomorrow. » # * » .

The Ellensburg Wildcats had three golden opportunities to score, and according to coach Harold Quigley, have no alibis to offer, for defeat. At one time the team carried the oval half way down the field with straight line plunges and Cote carried the ball across the goal line, only to fumble. At another time. Peterson was halfway to a touchdown with a clear field ahead of him when he stepped over the side line and spoiled his chances for scoring..

We hardly got a rise out of anyone in oar last col* iimn; we feel that we are losing our grip. However, upon second thought, we feel-that all is not tost-weare just mellowing with age. " ' • . . ' • • ' ' " • * •' * - . * ' . • ' • • ' _ ." There is a certain rival "cqlyum-ist" of ours who struts his stuff on one of the middle pages of this sheet about once a week. We don't imagine many read his "colyum," but really, sometimes, it is quite clever. We call it the "Thermqmeter,"Be-cause of its mercurial temperament. One week it is struggling about in the depths of philosophy and Wall Street, and thenext impinged upon the brittle peak of personal "smot- "• •.* . • * . •• • s ^cracks." ' • • . • * ' " * ' * ' ' Now this rival has been cast- : tag subtle—more, or less—aspersions upon our integrity and journalistic ability. Of course,, we regard such attempts as puerile and are ignoring'them, but just the same, we hope that no one ever uncorks the bottle. Its contents might turn out to be the kind that fizz all away and then the staff of The Viking '' would have to print some testimonials from the faculty of certain assembly addresses in order to fill up space. . * • ' . * • • * •• It^was nice toTh^e Tuesday's:aat-sembly on Wednesdayfor a change.' It made i t convenient !for a lot of ditching of classes. You see, there was always the excuse that you did not happen to read the bulletin board that morning (to gt;ppease your conscience) and.then when Wednesday turned up you could go to your 11 o'clock class, wonder with well- ! feigned surprise what happened to the teacher and the rest of the class, and not find out about the assembly until about five minutes after eleven. Of course, you just couldn't walk in late, so the best thing to do in a case like that is to go play tennis. * • * " . * A friend of ours (we always get into trouble when we start that way, but really, this is an-authentic friend, this time) was tearing his hair-over some of the education courses he was struggling to extract a certain grade from. "Doggone these education tejachers who talk methods and n e w type examsand then go ahead and bust all the rules they teach a fellow and keep on giving tests that you just haven't got a chance on even if you know the stuff." * '• • * • • ' * . . Bang! Bang! Bang! And another redskin bit the dust-only this time it was another Viking. cn PID SCORES AGAIN!

C . Upshall and Dr. Harry' Masters Announce Plan wof Research Bureau to Help Teachers. To Study Research Problems. WDLL CRITICIZE TESTS Librarians Visit At ~ Biological Station That the Bureau of Research of the Bellingham Normal school has adopted a program which will make it possible for teachers to receive aid and information concerning testing programs and the interpretation pf test results was " announced this week by brs. C. C. Upshall ;and Harry Masters in the following statement: The Bureau of Research has recently extended its service. It has been decided that the Bureau should offer certain types of service to public school people of the state, especially the graduates of Bellingham State Normal school. We are particularly anxious to call the attention of summer school students to this service which is now available. The Bureau will be glad to answer questions concerning the setting up of testing programs and the selection of proper tests to use for a given purpose, to aid in the interpretation of the results of a testing program, and to help in defining and carrying through research problems. Use of Tests Increased Teachers are constantly making greater and more varied use of the teacher-made objective test. Such tests to be worthwhile, must he properly constructed and their results properly interpreted. A number of teachers are also interested in setting up some ^experiments in their classrooms.. ,The Bureau is quite willing to. offer suggestions and. criticize experimental set-ups or any test material which teachers wish to send in. ^ The Bureau of Research is happy to extend this service to the teachers in the public schools and hopes that Tnany of the teachers now in Misses Esther Stajhnann, Pearl Reese^ and Lillian George, from the library staff took a boat trip to Friday Harbor last Sunday, to visit the biological station. They met Miss Leone Sundquist, instructor at, the station, who showed them some clams, devilfish, seaurchins and other fishes which the instructors and students were conducting experiments with. The party returned to Bellingham a t 8:30 o'clock in the evening. HIKERS TO SCALE BAKER TOMORROW Forty Normal Hikers to Make the Stiff Climb to Top of Mpunt Baker; Trip Is Climax.

The first day will be spent in reaching Kulshan cabin which' is ten miles up the trail. Early Saturday morning the climb of Mount Baker from the snowline to the top will be made. The tired hikers I probably will return to Bellingham' late Sunday afternoon, after descending from the Cabin to Glacier in the morning. , . Climax of Season All the previous* hikes have* been made with the", ultimate, goal of training the hikers for the Mount Baker climb, and as a result this trip can be called the climax of the outing seasdn. Last week-end L. A. Kibbe made the trip up Mount Baker and returned with the information that conditions on the slopes of the mountain were ideal for the climb, there being enough soft snow to cover up the icespots. Mr. Kibbe; and his son, Merle, reached the top before noon, so it is the. opinion of those concerned with this trip that the ascent will be easy. According to Prof. E. A. Bond, Tuesday, July 22, Miss Louise Merrill-Cooper; mezzo-soprano, and Robert Elmer Smith, author-composer, will present a program of Indian music in assembly. Miss Cooper'is a singer-interpreter of Indian music and art.i She has studied music, in Paris and has won distinction as an opera, oratorio and concert singer. Miss^ Cooper is one of America's exponents of Indian music and lore. She has been adopted by the Northwest Federation of Indians who have given her the name of Princess Scha-qu-guath, meaning "power to live forever," and by this name she is generally known. Miss Cooper is. also a member of the National Advisory Council for the Camp Fire Girls, in their study of the American Indian. Miss Cooper originally followed an operatic career, but,- becoming interested in Indian ceremonial songs in costume, she introduced these songs into her programs. Accompanist Composes Mr. Robert Elmer Smith, the California composer, has in a comparatively short time placed to his credit a surprisingly large -and versatile number of compositions, noted for their ^exquisite beauty, marvelous, simplicity, and significant charm.' Dr. Irving E. Miller' i ^Greeley, Colorado Word has recently been received to the effect that Dr.v Miller and family wtitf are touring the Middle Western states this summer were at Greeleyv Colorado, over the Fourth, having finished a tour of Yellowstone National Park. Dr. Miller, before. coming to this school was dean of the department of education at Greeley State Normal School. After a short stop-over here with friends they will journey through Kansas to St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, and from there to Cleveland, which is the Eastern terminus of their trip.*.;'-;--'..'.''"';;' ._• ;"'•• • .-• -.———o———— ..•'•".•'•'.••" SUZANNE WATERS TO HEAD KLIPSDN Chasteen Dorsey, Local Contractors Begin Work of JSurfac-ing for New Field West of Present Location; Six Men Employed.

Rajala Lyle Summers (Newspaper Member) DOUBLE REC HOUR , The fact that the summer enrollment is as large as it is, and that a good deal of die summer student activities money goes to make up die deficit incurred during the'three other quarters, should justify the Board of Control in appropriating sufficient of the student funds to hold a double Rec hour'every Friday night These days are rather too nice, anyhow, and an hour of dancing in mid-afternoon is not as much of a treat as it -might be, while the double Rec hour at night is real recreation. Members ofthe Board, why not a big double Rec hour every Friday night from now unul the end of the quarter? T R I P T O VICTORIA '«. This trip to Victoria, and whether or not it will be put over, continues to; agitate most of us.» Many people attending here are from isolated in-land localities, and the chance to spend a day on such a marine excursion, With a f ew hours in the English city of Victoria is one which would mean ...a, good.deal rto them.

' *•. With the great technique which has been devloped in the reproduction of paintings through various printing processes, any school district, working1 even under the narrowest budget, could easily acquire, sufficient copies of the various masters to give the grammar school children an adequate .background in Art. By the time they arrived at our Normal school they 'wbukT not'have to grope about to appreciate the various exhibits which are found Here, and to get real enjoyment from them. .'.•/•. i ; In the matter of music, a good phonograph and a wise selection of records; Worked in connection With an intelligent local music program, Would 'solve the music appreciation problem'which is felt in many places besides our Normal assemblies.

But it really could not have been so hard for Normalette. She was, only there once, you know. The other accusations were equally absurd. gt; But it may be her first experience away from home. We should like to suggest to Normalette, however, that next time she wishes to write in humorous vein, she choose a subject upon which she has taken tirile for Investigation. —L. C. Costumes! Styles!

The title is "The Broken Strap; or Nellie's Slip Prom Fame"— .^'\;-'Gin'-'guzzling; tobacco - spitting, "Hell-fire" Pete, gun oh either side, roared Into the Midnight Oil saloon, slashed his way to the bar, and demanded a shot of throat-toaster. Rising Action Gulping down the contents of the glass in two attempts, "Hell-fife" faced the weak-kneed, fearrridden ^.crowd, a sulky sinirk peering through the brown stains of his leathery, mouldy whiskers. Terror was rampant, as the ruddy hue of "Hell-fire's" face turned to a ghastly yellow, causing him to whirl around and face the drink-dispatcher. -, Called Climax , "You rat in the gutter," he spat at the bartender, who ducked under the counter. "You snake," he hissed, as he drilled the .bartender full of lead. - "Ain't you got no more sense than to mix my drinks?" he wheezed, adding, as he fell sickly to the floor,, "You put a shot of lemon in my coco-cola." " . And then Nellie arrived upon the scene, as her hero, "Hell-fire" slipped from fame. But Nellie had been around, and as the cool bartender's blood washed against "Hell-fire's" face, she handed him a current copy of a magazine. Forced Conclusion . And now we come to the conclusion of the Zero Tub episode, or was it The Blow-Out of The Midnight Oil?- At any event "Hell-fire" Pete was a man like, you or me until he read of the.correspondence course in the Western Narrative Magazine. As he rsat down to the piano a titter of laughter was heard and Nellie, the beautiful cloak-model, hid her face in "shame—or was it in her arm? Nevertheless, "Hell-fire" " was the hero of the moment ai'he finished the Rhapsody in Blue with a click, clickrclick! With a majestic wave of his hand he pressed a button and rewound the sheet music, as Arthur Hurry asked him for a personal story of the incident.

Q. and the estimate of a homogeneous group, dei gratia, we must consider chronologically and verbatim, the behavioristic tendencies, the environmental factors and modifiability of instinctive tendencies ^as presented physiologically, psychologically, and anthropologically by the .following pathological treatments of the "piece de resistances'. First, Munsterberg and Kraepelin's incomparable and incomprehensible . "Treatment of Psychiatry."

Last week'i made the statement in this column that one dollar out of every two hundred.. in the United States was spent oh golf. However, I was. Slightly wrong, as only one dollar but of every two thousand is spent on golf. My figuring was slightly off—I guess it must be heredity! At any event "why mar a good story with the truth? Ed Hannah and _ Vernon Broad-bent, for several seasons top men at the Normal a few years ago, teamed to win from Hedger and Houghton, finalists in last year's tournament. Hedger and his partner broke through on the second set with beautifully placed drives, which netted them the set, 6-4. Hannah did much to regain the lead and finally to win with many well-placed shots from the net, which baffled the opposition. The final score was 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. Thai and Rork, former lettermen, won two easy sets' from Wu and Moy, 6-2, 6-1. Bond and Carr won a three-set match from Kienast arid Boynton, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 and two days later defeated Leach and Prendergast, 8-6, 6-4 to enter the semifinals. Bob and Chuck Fisher won two straight sets from Parker and Lockhart, 6-4, 9-7. Craw Upsets Dope Providing, one of the major upsets in the city tennis tournament, Evelyn Craw chopped, cut and sliced a decisive victory over Alice Wamp-ler, last year's woman's singles champion, 6-2, 6-4; This places Evelyn Craw in the. semi-finals, where she meets the winner of the Chase- McKelvey match, for the finals. In the lower half of the women's singles, Bernice Johnson defeated Ciss-na, 0-6, 6-4, 6-3, for the quarter finals and when Seward defaulted she advanced to the semi-finals. Beatrice Johnson beat Johanson, 6-2, 6-8, 6-2. ' " ' • • ;. Thai Tumbles to Wu Wu, with deadly accuracy and precision with, his forehand drive, defeated Myer Thai, last year's runner up, in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Wu; made one backhand drive during the entire match. To offset a weak backhand he took everything on his forehand and covered the court so well that his opponent could not break through. The next evening Wu beat Chuck Fisher, 6-2, 6-2. Rork defeated Boynton, 6-0, 6-0, and Moy 6-0, 6-0 to enter the quarter finals against Wu. Bob Fisher took a two-set match from Bond, 6-1, 6-3. Carr beat Prendergast two out of three sets in a blistering sun to take the match 6-1, 4r6, 6^3. Leach, who placed in three sports, tennis, track and baseball, one spring quarter while at this school, meets Hannah for the quarter finals. Normal Students Entered In the mixed doubles,, Fisher and Chase defeated Brown and Warm, 6-3, 6-2. Hedger and Johnson took two sets from Chuck Fisher and Cissna, 6-4, 6-4, to enter the finals against Fisher and Chase. Meyer Thai arid Johnson cut through the fast placing and driving of Alice Wampler, who paired with Morris Thai, to take the match, 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Prendergast and Craw plugged through three sets to win a match from Bond and Morse, 6-3, 1-6, 6-1. This entitles them to play Johnson and TJiai for the finals.

In a foursome, consisting of Kelly, Jackson, ; Hurinicutt, and Jones, two challenges were played off. Jackson and Kelly found themselves tied after nine tiolesf so played three extra to decide the winner. Jackson finally came thru on the last hole, with a par three to win the match. The score the first round was 53-53. The extra three holes ended with a total number of strokes of 16-19. Hun-nicutt kept Jones down the ladder by banging out an even 50 on bis card, taking the. match 50-54. All four men have the same average score, so handicaps were not conceded to anyone. In the other match last week Bright and Reeves slammed the white pellet around for 18 holes. Bright took the first round by a score of 51-54, while Reeves took the second by a score of 52-53. The entire play gave Bright a two-stroke lead and the match. Several challenges have been posted so more lively play is expected N in the next, few weeks.

Tomorrow evening, the big gym will be transformed into a colonial ball room filled with "old-fashioned girls", and gentlemen in honor of George Washington and his time. In keeping with the Colonial times, a few Virginia reels and stately minuets have been planned for the evening, interspersed with the more modern dance tunes. Several special numbers will feature the program. All Sophomore girls are urged to attend in costume if possible, and all the men in the school are cordially invited. To quote Mr. Thorpe in his assembly announcement of the affair, "real food, not cookies and punch, will be served". OUR WASHINGTON Tomorrow marks the birthday anniversary of the "Father of our Country", George Washington. We, Americans, will ever continue to remember that date. It reawakens in us a filial veneration for his memory; it rekindles the fires of patriotic regard for the country he loved so well. His memory should be first and most sacred in our lives and ever hereafter, "till the last drop of blood shall freeze in the last American heart, his name shall be a spell of power and of might". How proud we are that our state over which we are so enthusiastic at present, was named for him. He, about whom we can associate no dogma of politics, no creed, no party, no sectional prejudice nor bias but only those qualities which go to make up the matchless glory of his life. Rufus Choate has said that "the first love of Young America was Washington. The first word she lisped was his name. Her earliest breath spoke it. It is still her proud ejaculation; and it will be the last gasp of her expiring life!" o THEATRE GUILD A great many Normal students should be in attendance Tuesday evening to witness the presentation of "Dulcy," by the Bellingham Theatre Guild, not only to see a good play, but to insure support for the local people who are furthering an important national movement. The Theatre Guild, because of their unique organization and the character of the people who are attracted to membership, are making it possible for people all, over America to witness worth-while dramatic productions. The success of the Guild movement throughout the United States evidences the fact that the taste for the fineness and depth and beauty of a well-interpreted drama has not entirely been drowned in the flood of talking-movies, vaudeville, and jazz. o— — WASHINGTON WEEK Washington Week has re-emphasized to people who have taken occasion to survey the development of the State that almost without our being conscious of it this young commonwealth of ours is expanding into a Western Empire of almost unlimited possibilities. Washington sits looking over the Pacific with much of the natural wealth of the United States in her lap, from timber, minerals, and agricultural resources to the most magnificent group of inland harbors in the world. Hers, too, is the key to Alaska, and. the gateway to the ever-increasing commerce of the Orient. The theatre of world events is rapidly shifting to the Pacific. With the young and virile nations that rim the Pacific pressing forward to new heights of development, and the ancient empires of the Orient awakening from lethargy to adapt themselves to the exciting tempo of Western civilization, it is not unreasonable to suppose that in our own lifetime we may see the commodities of half the world flowing through Northwest seaports, and Northwest industry helping materially to supply the wants of these twelve hundred million Pacific peoples. A little study of the future possibilities of Washington will prove most interesting to anyone with imagination to picture what statistics will prove. Nor does it take an extended investigation to show that ours is indeed a Land of Opportunity! "The Inter-club Council or others in power should pass a ruling to the effect that students should be allowed to belong to not more than two clubs. It appears that students belonging to a half dozen clubs attach .themselves to these respective organizations for unworthy reasons, for :\ the most part. Personal publicity may be had in a more effective way by using the paid advertising columns of this publication, rather than obtaining it through a few poorly attended social and study clubs which ;the Normal now boasts. The fact that a student lauds himself for belonging to a number of clubs should bring him social disapproval rather than a hazy admiration. Divide a students' interests in everything and glie will hot Jbecome an active and good member in anything. In a recent issue of the Viking, C. W. L., former author of the "Normalite", discussed the problem of discipline. * * * * We sit here in our work-room, our experimental laboratory (for, really, that's what it is) or more commonly known as our school room and agree with G. W. L. * * * * 77iere must be discipline as such we haoe found. This is indeed 1930, and in rural situations toe are meeting with all types of childhood. * * * * In the meager experience one gets at Normal School we never become acquainted with groups such as we meet in practical situations. * * * We also find that when children I have been disciplined with nearly military rigidness that the pressure can not be relieved all at once. * * # ••:•- True, G-. W. L., our county provides us with a report card which has, as well as academic grades, grades on what it terms, "Good Citizenship and School Success". * * .i? * But, we find that the parents of our children need the education as well as the children. * * * * A child lives six years before he comes into a teacher s hands. And, although she has him five of the best hours of the day after his education starts, mother and father are the all-important factors still as far as he is concerned. * 4 s» * THEREFORE, THE CHILD'S IDEALS MUST BE ROOTED IN THE HOME. * * * * We have decided, however, if nothing else is absorbed this year, ideals of conduct and morals will be. * * * * The biggest problems., we., have found as yet is the teaching of both individuality. and co-operation to the child... If he is an individual he can not fit into a group and if he has always worked in groups he can not do a thing by himself. * * ! gt; * Maybe we didn't get everything that we should have in our Normal courses but that's one place we find a weakness. The stressing of individuality and co-operation that should go hand in hand. * *• * * And even now pink copper cheeks filled with bread and peanut butter are complaining "They wont play the right game!" * - * * * We only wish we could reproduce some of these impressions for you. * * * * We never knew anything about true blue sportsmanship before. We never knew so much real beauty before until we tried to teach it to someone else. We never saw nearly so much romance before until we' learned about little sweet lives. ' * * * * We had no idea that life could be half so colorful or interesting. « * * * And perhaps after We have been teaching ten years we will be able to look at little folks and see twice that we see today! ' * * * * We won't have to question for hours to get those things then. * * * * We have never learned so much in any other four months of our lives than in those just passed. * * * * Never seen so many pictures, never loved so much of life. Student JQpinion The writer of this article thought it might be well if the facts of the case were ascertained in the controversy about health fees, so did a little interviewing. It is admitted that this should ,have appeared two weeks ago but the author of Normalite was going to write it up and didn't. Men of course change their minds as well as women. The interview revealed that the two-dollar health fee goes to pay the salaries of two nurses as well as to pay the doctors who conduct the annual health examinations The latter are given each quarter to entering students, but only once yearly to each student). This examination alone, if taken at a doctor's office will cost you on dollar. These nurses, one of whom resides at Edens Hall and maintains regular office hours there, are on duty at all times of the day or night if called. Every day from 12:30 to 2:30, Miss Mead calls on those who are confined at home by illness. She also makes calls when necessary on Saturday and Sunday, usually averaging about six calls on Saturday. Besides this are the large number of office treatments given to the students, anywhere from spraying the throat to first aid in injury. Definite follow-up work is carried on for those revealed by the health examination to be in need of it. Those requiring it are recommended to the County Chest Clinic which meets three times a year, and which by the way, is supported by the sale of anti-tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Those needing dental x-rays, basic metabolism tests for goiter, blood pressure and blood count tests, urinalyis, or orthopedic advice, receive it free of charge. ,lt it paid for by the school health fund. (In case you do not know, Miss Mead says orthopedic advice means advice in regard to spinal curvatures, foot and bone troubles). Out of this health fee also is maintained the isolation hospital, which is that large, lonely-looking white house just south of the grandstand. It is for the treatment of strictly contagious diseases. A practical nurse, Mrs. Eva Woods, is on duty at all times and receives a regular salary. A charge of two dollars ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 21 - Page 3 ---------- Vf /. y ;,^.A .vi'/iwy-iyK:^ immmw m .''•':' '••;! /"VMX.A'VJ ^ Y ^ ' ^ ' ^ I ^ V M I V I Of interest to the Northwest sport fans is the intended coming international, invitational post-Olympic games rowing regatta, to be held on Lake Washington in Seattle, in 1932. This plan, ambitious in itself, includes bringing to Seattle of at least four, probably five, foreign, crews, after the Olympic meet and the presence of the American representative at the International regatta. For a time Seattle had plans for making an effort to obtain the 1932 Olympic rowing events for Lake Washington, but as the plans fell through the only remaining chance for the Northwest to.see at least a part of the great field of eight-oared crews that will participate in the Olympics, was to plan a post- Olympic regatta for Lake Washington. If the plans work out it will be a big thing in putting the Northwest in the limelight of international rowing and we can only wish the committee in charge "good luck" in their plans for putting the entire Northwest on the map of International athletics relations and perhaps if this enterprise succeeds we can hope for many more. One can never tell until it's all over who's going to rest on the top, for the coveted honors in sports and many wise ones have had their predictions entirely blotted out by the unexpected turn of affairs. This remains true in our own intramural league. The Hustlers, under the tutelage of Bill Osborne, didn't win a game in the first half of the race, but came back in the second half with a spirit that Would out-rival a college team, to cop every one of their games, leaving them riding on top and with a little more push they ought to coast into tfie championship but then, one can never tell. We wonder, in these annual affairs, why the underdogss always seem to win. In the preliminary last Tuesday evening the Supervar-sity conceded the second best team in school, bowed in defeat to their lower teammates, the Junior Varsity. Certainly the Supers, from all angles even to swanking were the best team of the two, but they, perhaps, have the mind set as their rivals. Prom all indications, the next Junior Varsity super-game should be a corker, when the teams meet for the third and last time, next Tuesday evening at Fairhaven. The J. V. won the first game by one point. The Supers the next by five points, and the next?—well you be there to see for yourself? VIKING BASKETEERS PLAY TWO RETURN GAMES THIS WEEK St. Martin's Tossers and Frosh Team Will Provide Opposition for Final Bellingham Games. WOMEN'S INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL FINISHED FROSH "GAME TODAY With the teams of the University of Washington Frosh and St. Martins as their week-end opponents, the Viking basket tossers left Bellingham this morning, at eleven o'clock, bound for Seattle. This afternoon at four, the Frosh and the Normalites will play at the University. The game has every indication of being closely contested. I n a previous game on the Fair-haven floor the Metropolis city team was defeated by a S6-24 score. The Frosh also defeated Cheney, who were several times conquered by the Vikings. The St. Martins team provided the first College opposition for the Varsity when they lost here, 32-22, and they will provide the last game on the schedule of the Vikings when they play Saturday night at Lacey. Carver's squad has constantly been improving as the season goes and the climax so far was their high-class brand of ball against Ellens-burg this week. If they keep this up they should be able to take their last two games. Erickson, who has been playing a good game at center, has been on the sick list all week and there is a possibility that he will do little playing. This may cause a shifting in the combination that has been recently used to good advantage. There is another good combination that Carver will use in case of the absence from the lineup of -Eric. Dixon will be shifted to his old center berth, and Sanders played at forward. Sanders has been playing great lately and will probably see action over the two-game period. Those who will make the trip are: Kasch, Dixon, Erickson, Sanders, Rork, Pederson, Thorsen, Flowers, and Nyberg. Intramural basketball games came to a close Tuesday night when team Two defeated the Threes for the championship. Other team averages are as follows: Team One lost one game through forfeit, and won three; Team Four lost four; and team Five won one and lost three. The next week will be devoted to technique, after which the class teams will be chosen and class games played off. o PHILO CLUB GIVES ASSEMBLY PROGRAM Washington State Week Observed With Musical Numbers and Talks By Several Members of Philos. ALLEY CATS LOOM AS SURE WINNERS ININTRAMURALS Alley Cats Beat Hustlers for Second Half Championship and Are Due to Take League Cup. Prospects for the Spring turnouts look fairly good, only lacking a couple of capable pitchers, for a good baseball team. A call has been sent out by Coach Gunn for men, whether they've had experience or not, to try their hand in this department of the game. Let's help him, fellows; one can never tell who may develop into a Waller Johnson or \ a Christie Mathewson. • / . * * * * I n winding up the basketball season the Varsity should win their last two games to make it a very good season, losing only to the El-lensburg Normal five. Due credit should be given to Coach Carver in building up from what was previously stated to be the worst turnout in twelve years, a team of championship caliber. o BACK TO, THE LOOM The eighth grade girls,, under the direction of Miss Marie Druse and Miss Ethel Lewis, are busily engaged in weaving gay ,and vari-colored cloth on small hand-looms. This is being done in their art class, and the products will probably be made into tiny rugs, bags, etc., according to the girl's wishes. o j- KLIPSUN PICTURES Pictures of the basketball teams which are to appear in this year's Klipsun were taken Thursday. Next week, if weather conditions permit, club pictures will be' taken. GIRLS' SWIMMING TEAM COMPETE WITH NIORDS The girls swimming team will contest the Niord senior lifesaving club team next Monday night, at the Y. W. C. A. tank. All girls turning out for freshment and sophomore teams will compete and members of the two groups will be mixed to arrange new teams. These teams will follow the usual races and strokes, ending with some special diving. After the meet refreshments will be served to the participants. Normal students and friends are invited to attend the meet and watch the school teams do their stuff. INFIRMARY NOTES Miss Marion Markham has been confined in the hospital this week, with a slight illness. Miss Verna Scrimsher has been ill with the influenza during the past week. Miss Helen Wells has gone to her home in Ferndale, to recover from a siege of the flu. Mrs. Dawn Goodenough left in the middle of the week for her home in Gig Harbor, to recover from a slight illness. Miss May Mead reports that she has been on an inspection tour of the girls' homes who are housekeeping. She was very well pleased with what she saw. Miss Mildred Tremain of the Dean of Women's office, accompanied her last Tuesday. Miss Mead has a few visits yet to make this week. o—:—— PHILOS On Monday evening a special meeting of the Philo Club was held in room 239. A brief rehearsal of the program which was put on in the assembly on Tuesday, was held. A resolution was adopted that a member who is absent without valid excuse over three times in the quarter, would be dropped. An amendment ,was proposed that candidates for membership would only need a two-thirds vote of the quorum to be accepted, instead, of, as formerly, -where three adverse votes were enough to keep them out. A very interesting program was sponsored by the Philos in honor of Washington State Week last Tuesday in assembly. Several musical numbers and a variety of talks were offered. Most of the music was written by Washington composers and all of the speeches pertained to Washington interests. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, "Dance of the Gnomes," by Edward Potjes, who lives in Seattle and who recently presented a group of his pupils in concert here. The piece was a delightfully gay little composition and Miss Morrison's interpretation of it was a credit to its composer. "Natural Resources of Washington" was the subject of Dick Smith's speech, and he gave many reasons why Washington ranks as one of the first states of the Union. Martin Jackson discussed the "Scenic Wonders and Timber Resources of Northwestern Washington." Some very interesting statistics regarding Washington's standing timber were revealed. Two vocal solos, "With You," and "Duna," sung by Don Stickney were greeted most enthusiastically by the audience. Eunice Paulson contributed to the program with a talk on well-known people of the State, including Processor Edmund S. Meany of the University of Washington, Vachel Lindsey, the poet, who resides in Spokane; Ezra Meeker, Washington's grand old pioneer, and Mrs. Ella Higginson, the author and poet, who is a resident of Bellingham. An amusing Paul Bunyan story was told by Joe Wetherby relating the startling explanation of how Puget Sound, Elliot Bay, Hood's Canal, and Mount Baker were formed. Ray Craft spoke on the "Future of Washington," stressing the point that it is the Pacific seaboard which is gaining in importance and particularly the Northwest. The program was concluded by a group of two violin selections, "Trees," and "Hills of Home," played by Ethel Boynton. o ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 21 - Page 4 ---------- Each Contestant Will Prepare One Subject and Speak On a Certain Phase of That Before Assembly., ' •'• -v^Y"£••';' '''*'•"•¥• V/[--:i'\'":'-:'' lt;^V•''•' : \ The Winter Extempore Speaking C » S ^ ^ ^ % t h e l 4 ifr ibe jasselinbly (^iiMDairch ib^itt' this"tinie the sixi diafe^feMunich is ' to be 'announceoV later, will compete for a chance to speak in the Spring finals.

London, around ^ e wharves and in the Limehouse district, was home to him. B 'became parted from his master, \got aboard the wrong vessel, and ended up homeless, along the shoresVof. Puget Sound. He wandered aimlessly about, head down, with all pep gone from his usual behavior. Wandered so because he .longed for his master,' and the for- :mer surroundings that lingered in .his memory. •; Last Saturday night he heard fa-imiliar strains from the Limehouse IBIues. He was attracted to the ;open window of"''the big gym, and jpeeked in. Every muscle was tense land his mind unusually alert. i; There he saw a famliar scene. •Lights were low, people dressed iroughly, signs all over the walls, and •everyone having a "wow' of a time. ;It was a complete replica of what he knew and remembered, as home. iHdpes of finding.his master sprang up, but these soon faded. "Les, everything looked real, it 'was just like home", he repeated to •himself, "but after all it was only a 'party". And he slinked away, defected and homesick. ; Then he saw a discarded North- west Viking, announcing the Frosh Iiiinehouse Ball. He read .all about .the party, and how it was based on the Limehouse District idea.

Inter-Club Council met a week ago yesterday, for the first time in several weeks. They have been active on routine business, however, regardless of lack of meetings. The business brought before the group consisted mostly of checking up on the clubs and individuals that Fall under the jurisdiction of t he Council. To be active a club must have a constitution in the files of the Council, otherwise it cannot be classified as an official club of the school. Several of the organizations have failed to do this, and a check is being made of these. The various clubs are supposed to have a limited membership, but several have exceeded this quota, so hereafter the Council will make them keep within their restricted numbers. A number of pigeon-holes have been arranged in t he Co-op for club mail, and each group is asked to claim one of these so that in t he future they may be reached through this medium. Probably one of t h e biggest tasks that the Council has before it, is that of checking on t h e point system. Many of the students of t he school are carrying too many activities, and will have either to withdraw from some or make arrangements. The rule regarding the point system and t h e number of points counted for various activities, may be found on pages 28, 29 and 30 of the Blue Book. The point system plan in brief is: The' number of points an individual may carry a quarter is twenty. Those below "B" in half their grades cannot carry over ten points, and any failure will reduce the points five for t h a t quarter and t he following one. .—o COLLETT COURT Marion Markham and Helen Berg entertained Ester Peterson, and Mrs. Forrest a t . dinner last Sunday evening. Margaret Smith and Helen Williams motored to Index for the week-end. Mrs. Forrest was entertained last Saturday at a dinner at the Chuck-anut Shell.

DRAMAS ARE GIVEN BY MAUD SCHEERER Entertainment Course Offered by School is Opened by Reading of Galsworthy arid Crothers Plays. At a special assembly Wednesday students of the Bellingham Normal School received an unusual treat in the form of the reading of John Gal-worthy's play "The Skin Game," by Miss Maud Scheerer, a dramatic reader. In the evening, Miss Scheerer read the play, "He and She,'" by Rachel Crothers. Six Numbers Offered This was the first of a course of six numbers which is being offered -the public by the Normal School. This lecture and entertainment course is being offered in response to a desire of some of the people of the city, and the response this year will probably determine whether or not the course will be offered next year. David Dietz to Lecture Other numbers in the Course will be a lecture on "The Last Frontier", by David Dietz, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Dec. 14, the Moroni Olsen players in the play "Out-ward Bound" by Sutton Vane on February 5, 1927; Roy Chapman Andrews will give a lecture on Mongolia, February 24; Ruth Draper will, offer some of her own character sketches on March 9; and Lew Sa-rett, the "Poet of the Wilderness," will lecture on the subject "Many, Many Moons", on March 18. These numbers tho offered to the public in the evening,.will be offered to the student body at special assemblies during the days, so all the students will have the opportunity of hearing the various numbers. At an informal party last week at Nichols Hall, Lydia McNeil announced her engagement, to . Dr. Alfred-Bright. Dr. Bright is ^a graduate of the Portland Dental College. Miss McNeil is a. student at the Normal. The wedding will take place the latter part of. this month. GmOMKI€KMmtO MA TRIMONIAL MJTARINRE-EN^ WEDDING STAGED BY OUR FACULTY Library Contains Big Collection of General Lit. (By George Allez) The Library of the State Normal School is primarily a teachers* professional library, but also contains large collections of literature, history, sociology, fine arts, useful arts, geography and travel, biography and science. The library also contains a standard and up-to-date list of reference books. It now contains nearly 36,000 volumes; 5000 pamphlets and large files of magazines. New books and reference material are being added constantly. Every week,-on the front alcove there is a display of new books and books on special , subjects. This display is changed weekly on Thursdays. The attention of the students is especially called to this display in hopes that they will take advantage of this opportunity to keep up to date on current subjects. The Library is maintained by the honor system. Students of this school have free access to the books and magazines at all times. There are few school libraries of this type in the country. There are few school libraries where the books and reference material are kept bn open shelves to be used freely by; the students as they desire. Perhaps we would appreciate some of the conveniences of our library better if we were compelled to study and work in a library with books be- "HE AND SHE" GIVEN BY MAUDE SCHEERER Audience Received Play Heartily.

The response of a good number of students has. been very encouraging. June Wetherell, winner, of the first prize; (unfortunately.. I.have not ascertained what the prize is) has the unanimous vote of the. judges. The second; prize winner and the third afforded a little difficulty for the judges to decide which is the best. T H E MATERIAL IS H E R E ! •"• It is generally conceded not to be a good idea to make irrational promises at the beginning of a football, basketball, baseball or track season. If, however, heresay is any criterion, we are going to have a marvelous hoop quintet this winter. With such well known dependables as Ray Odell and Lyman $tickney 0ut..in suits every night it seems as though we could at least have a ghost of a show to cop the Tri-Normal _ basketball championship. With the return of Les Rhodes, star center of last year's flashy five, the pivot position is solved. It is rumored, nevertheless, that in Ted Clarke, guard of hte Whatcom High school quintet if last year, "Sam" Carver has an exceedingly shifty and deceptive floor runner and passer who undoubtedly will give "Les" a run for his money at center. 'Then there is "Russ" Seymour, the big Ballard high school guard, who for three years was a member of the all-Seattle marvel hoop aggregation. H e can be counted upon to fill on of the guard positions. Should "Keppy" return he-will again thrill the stars with his unbelievable accuracy in shooting. The new material on hand includes such prodigies as Harold Benson and Oscar Thorsen. The second and third teams composed mainly of new players have in them the making of a good team for next year. After the beginning of the winter quarter the varsity will commence to play intercollegiate basketball.„. The caliber of these contests is not far removed from that of some colleges competing in the coast conference. Students who will be enrolled in school next quarter should acquaint themselves with the fundamentals of basketball technique, so that the games can really be enjoyed and appreciated through a thorough understanding of every department of play such as passing, guarding, checking, pivoting, shooting, etc.. The Messenger will try to conduct a questions and answers column next quarter for the purpose of clearing up any difficulties that may confront anyone attending the games. Every student always attends the big games and is never disappointed over the playing or the crowd . . . No rowdies allowed . . . . But, in justice to the host of others who- participated in the' "penary" combat, let'us see-the winning piece published. So far this. haB riot been done, and may xwe hope no cobwebs have yet entombed the laureled lit-* .erary production. Children Gave Own Conception of "Characters in Books Read; Costumes Were Made at Home. My teacher in news writing in the school of journalism which I attended, ~__(please excuse the personal allusion) ..emphatically ..said: .."you must have a 'nose for news'.' I have often wondered whether I should not also have the "eyes for news." I was in the auditorium one assembly hour and I saw a hat placed on an elevated foot. The foot served as a ready, convenient, inexpensive, exclusive, portable, and attractive hat rack. The foot I have alluded to belongs to a fair one. • • Governor Eoland H. 'Hartley, who came to the Normal, a few days ago, should have been shown student life in the library. He should have been shown how students crowd in among and between the book racks and pile tliree or four thick bound periodicals, and even go as far as sitting, squatting, and half-lying on a dirty floor, without giving due care to newly-pressed trousers or frocks.. All this .is done in earnest pursuit and zealous quest of the "holy grail" of knowledge. Poor students! Books, books, books everywhere, but no chair to sit on, when note books or bibliographies are almost due. WE T U R N NOW T O - ACKNOWLEGEMENTS A few incites above this sentence are a score of names of those who grapple for the glory or share the criticisms of this vacillating journal., Many news and special articles are written in a spirit of sheer duty, of enthusiasm, or of reluctance. However, certain features of the ..._; Messenger are not attributable to the variable temperaments of its phlegmatic staff. There .are other students that help in whatever success the paper rejoices, who have j worked with little inducement Their motives are negligible. Their works are'appreciated ^ B e r n a r d Sullivan, during • jhe footbjall season, conducted a col-umn naively named "Hitting .the Line With Sully."

"Human beings have the blessed quality of forgetting," so said Miss Sunquist. It's perfectly true. If we don't forget our troubles as easily as we forget our undesirable acquaintances, we would be living in an insane asylum sooner than we would in a happy home. However, there must be a due discrimination to things we. have to forget. I will never forget, the guy who. owes me a good licking. .National book week and the approach of Christmas : holidays fur-, nished the background, for the development of the play given by the eighth grade in Tuesday's*assembly. Iii their study of books and* giving book reports the question arose as to what,!books ..they"would recommend for ;Christmas -gifts. This , problem was worked put with' a consideration for children in all grades, from the pre-primary to the eighth. : The stories to be represented were chosen by the children from their reading. They decided what picture or scene in the story could be staged moat effectively, different groups and - individuals, with a student teacher being-responsible for various scenes. '•' » - Pupils Select Characters. Characters to take the parts were selected from the pupils who were most interested in the character or who"; could represent it to the best advantage. / Other groups were called upon to assist the eighth grade; Reporters from the Junior Messenger were sent to the fifth and second grades to find out whether they had any story in which they were particularly interested and would like to see presented. The fifth grade chose the story of Joseph and his Brothers, and the second grade, the story of the Pied Piper..

This year of 1927 looms big for Coach Sam Carver's Viking hoopsters. In the total of those working for places on. the first squad, the three lettermen from' last} year"s team stand out. Bay Odell star and high-point man, is showing up better than ever before. In practice mixes with the Jay see outfit, he has been practically impossible to stop. Especially on short shots going away from the basket, Ray has proved a demon. He is looked for to prove the biggest threat in the Viking offense. His running-mate, Earl Keplinger, is now turning out regularly and will be in school next quarter. Having these two men in the scoring position , the varsity forward berths are sure to be well provided for. . Jensen from Chehalis Jensen, a new man, arrived here this week from Chehalis. He is being counted on as Varsity material, and if Les Rhodes, center last year, does not return to school, will probably get the call at. the pivot position. However, Harold Hawkings, Super-' varsity center, is daily -improving, and being a crack shot may make the first squad. Oscar Thorsen, star end on the football team, formerly center and forward at Whatcom High, is hitting his stride, and is also conceded a good chance for the Varsity. Good Guards on Hand The guard positions are to be well taken care of, judging from per formances so far this season. There is a wealth of material out for the defensive places, many men of good quality being on hand. Lyman Stickney, regular last year, is the foremos^ candidate. He has already won his spurs and looks sure of one of the places. Russ Seymour stands out above the new guard candidates. Despite his 300 (?) pounds, he,is hefty and handles himself well. Ted Clarke, former Whatcom captain, and Art Isaacson and Harry Benson of the Supervarsity are J;he leading candidates for the remaining position. With. four wins and no defeats, the ^Super-Varsity is sitting on top of the Class "A'? basketball league. Two games, only, are left for them t° play in the first half of the split schedule, and if they win one of these games, they- have first place cinched. Next Wednesday, the Supers vmeet the Y.M. C.

In the last game played, the Super-Varsity, in an uphill game, defeated them 41 to 33. :••••• EIGHT LETTERMEN TO RETURN IN 1927 This Year Seventeen Men Receive Letters for Football. 7 Players to be Lost Through Graduation.

I push my boat out from the shore and row with slow easy strokes so that I may gaze about. Spruce and hemlock grow down-to the lake's edge and spread their.dusky shadows upon the still green water. N ow and again I pass, cleared knolls aflame with late wild roses or thickly carpeted with Virginia bluebells and purple lupine. When I reach the middle of the lake I lean upon the oars and look. The sky is fiery red where the sun is dipping behind the trees, and far toward die southeast the high-piled clouds catch the rosy glow. A deep ^pink sheen spreads over the whole lake and in it are reflected with startling clearness the far-away, snow-covered peaks,—-huge Mount Drum, majestic glistening Sanford, and the hoary volcano, Wrangel, with puffs of steam rising from a cleft near its summit. On the lower mountains sheltering the lake many of the slopes and shoulders are dark with firs, while others blaze with purply-pink fireweed. All shades of green are there, from the somber hues of the evergreens to the lighter tones of the poplars and balm-of-Gileads. The shrubs and thick mosses spread out their softly blending reds, grays, and browns like rich old eastern rugs. About the bases of the hills and veiling the far forests gather "the purple mists of evening." As the sunset flares into orange and pales into yellow every change in sky and hills is faithfully mirrored on the surface of the lake. And now comes the faint fragrance of northern roses and the alluring woodsy odor of a distant camp fire. After many minutes I hear a muffled roar and realize that. I am drifting toward the eastern shore where many icy streams enter,* tumbling from high glacier-cradling valleys in foaming falls, down over sharp ledges and mossy boulders, some to leap triumphantly into the lake, others to seek low valleys and glide in subdued quiet to the shore. Already over the chill streams is rising the mysterious white mist, called by the Indians "the blanket of the Great Spirit." The air grows cold. Turning, I row slowly into the reflected embers of the sunset. Enchantment is all about. With strong quick pulls I send my boat flying forward. My blood races and the keen air fills my lungs: I shout aloud joyfully. A hundred echoes answer from the hills. A sedate flock of wild ducks that have been swimming about are startled at this bfeach of wild-wood etiquette; they dive with a flip of black feet and pointed tails, to reappear rods away in a safer zone. Again I rest on my oars for long minutes. Then I row thoughtfully toward the dock, almost hesitating to break the smooth lake surface by cutting into it with my clumsy oars. Trickles of water run down the blades and drop off as I raise the oars. Each stroke sends out little even-topped ripples that widen and spread until they stir the weeds and sleeping water flowers on the dimming shores.

'•As fine and finer than any normal school library in the United States," is President Fisher's opinion of the new library, now rapidly rising before our eyes on the south end of the campus. The framework is now coming down leaving in view the especially noteworthy beams of the ceiling of the second floor, the cross-beams 45 feet long and smaller beams in between them. Beautiful stone and Bellingham State Normal Schools New Library, Now Under Construction, As It expenditure of $260,000, -will be fireproof throughout, of reinforced concrete.' The Romanesque style of architecture was adopted to conform with the main building. It was designed and planned by Carol Gould, brickwork, harmonizing in color with that of the other campus buildings, is also underway. If things progress as rapidly and per schedule as plans have to date, the new library will be finished sometime next February. Students of the Normal this year have the unique honor of being present at the first birthday of the library one of t he biggest events of the Normal school.

As more buildings are added in the Will Appear When Finished, Next future to conform to the 25-year.plan the library will become more central, forming a pleasing center to the activities of the Normal of the future. Students,' especially the old. ones, faculty members, and perhaps, most of all, Miss Wilson, librarian, and her staff, who have known of the lack" of space and facilities in the present library, can look .forward with extreme relief *to the days to come, when the new building, with its February. large reading room, reference rooms, faculty reading room, children's de-department, and special office features, awaits them. ' The present library contains some 36,000 volumes, 5,000 pamphlets and large files of magazines, all of which are anxiously awaiting the day when they.can stretch out and move into their beautiful new home across the campus.

Coy Co-ed Drops Handkerchief, Breaks Ice lor Bashful Frosh Drama Club to Hold Quarterly Tryouts Monday Afternoon Monday afternoon from three to five o'clock, the Drama club holds its annual tryouts for membership to the club. According to Victor H. Hoppe, director of the club, a large number are expected to be on hand for the tryouts as there are forty new meriv bers to be taken into the club. All-School Affair The Drama club is an all-school affair. It has been delegated by the faculty to handle all plays and drama work for the school. The Drama club meets once a month on no regular date and a stu-: dent who once becomes a member of the club has the privilege of trying out for all the plays that are given. Four Plays a Year The club presents four plays a year. The first three plays to be given are modern plays which are presented in the Normal school auditorium. The fourth play which is presented during the summer quarter, is a Shakespearian play, which is given in an open-air setting out on the knoll. Children: of the Moon A modern play by Martin Flavian entitled, "Children of the Moon," is the first play that will be given •this year. It is t o be presented a short while before Christmas, by a select cast. ? This is a very high-class play and will furnish good amusement for the students, Mr/ Hoppe s t a t e d ..

The famous leader and his equally famous organization of about seventy musicians were at top form for their first appearance in Bellingham since war days and hugely succeeded in their effort to present successfully band music of the highest order. The two audiences, which comfortably filled the auditorium were the largest ever, to witness an indoor concert in this city, expressed their approval of every number :by vigorous applause. Liteutenant-Comman-der Sousa received a huge ovation at his'appearance on the: stage in the evening, as did the playing of his famous, march, "The Stars and Stripes Forever". Sousa Host at Banquet Sousa, himself, was host at a. banquet given in the evening to leading supporters of music in this city, including representatives of the Women's Musical Club and the Bellingham Normal, under whose auspices the concerts were given. Those present included: Mr. Sousa, Miss Marjorie Moody, soprano soloist with the Band; Pres. and Mrs. C. H.: Fisher, of the Normal; Mrs. C.

It will be doubly important because of the large number of offices to be filled. Of the seven members composing the Board of Control four are to be newly elected, three of whom will be students. Naturally, the most important single position to fill is that of Associated Student Body President. The duties of this office are many, the responsibilities great. Would it not be wise at this time, particularly when the Board will tie composed of so many.jiew members, to elect someone who has had experience with the Board of Control, who knows something of what his task will be? ' Much will depend upon the caliber of the student elected President, in determining the worth-whileness of the new Board of Control. We would not plead with the studenty body to elect a pet candidate of this paper's choice, for it is the spokesman of the entire school. But it is to your own interest and to the Weekly Messenger's interest that only the best that the Student Body can yield be selected to carry on our businss. .

Although pres- :;,; ent indications are that the backfield 5 will be somewhat slower and less . shifty than in 1926, the prospects for an excetpionally powerful -forward wall are Very bright. V Two picked squads lined up against each other Saturday and engaged in , a rough free-for-all scrimmage con- '• gt;•. test which continued without a score ; for four eight minute quarters. VyWliile fumbles and mental errors were frequent, the bright light of the session, was the flashy perform- :ance of Thompson in the backfield. •Thompson .came from Southwest Washington where he starred during his; prep days.

Husky squad showed plenty of power in defeating Willamette 32-6, and U. S. S. Idaho, 27-0. The contest showed very little of the Huskys in action as both teams were much outclassed. Washington showed up well in individual performance, but lacked team work. Idaho dropped the Montana Aggies for a 20-12 count. The Idaho team worked well together and a pass in the last quarter put the game on ice. Montana took the Mount St. Charles team into camp 8-0. Last week Washington State played the Saints and: the score left the teams with a 6-6 tie. The Oregon Aggies outclassed the California Aggies by a 25-6 score. It was Oregon all the way and 35 O. A.

The Bellingham Civic Opera Company will present "The Gondoliers," one of the popular Gilbert and Sullivan light operas, under the direction of Mr. Jou-Jerville and Lois Holt Brown. The production will have not only gay costumes and appropriate scenery, and a gondola, but will be accompanied by-Benson's orchestra with Miss Lois Wilson at the piano.- Selections Familiar Students wil remember a selection from this opera sung by the quartet in a recent assembly. Lois Holt Brown has the leading soprano part, Doris Smith, contralto, Wallace Ferguson, baritone, a.nd Mr. C.Pelland, tenor.

In the meantime, the old duke of Plazo-Toro, a grandee of Spain, comes to Venice with his attendant, Luis, his wife, the Duchess, and his beautiful daughter, Casilda. Casilda is in love with Luis, but soon learns that she has been secretly married by proxy while John J. .Blackmore, pianist, ex-, ponent of Tobias Matthay, and piano teacher of the Bush Conservatory of Chicago, will play in two recitals at the Normal School .Friday, February 25.

Last year he astonished the scientific world and the world at large by finding the first dinosaur eggs, estimated at from eight to ten million years old. Andrews heads the third Asiatic Expedition, his party consisting of forty-one men, seven motor cars and one hundred forty-three camels. Remarkable scientific findings have been made and Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romance in remarkably fine motion and still pictures which^will be shown during his lecture here, t " .

He will lecture 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 expedition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural History^ in cooperation -with the American Asiatic Association 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 disheartening hunt. Imagine a race.between a modern auto and the wild ass of, the Gobi desert—a thirty-mile pursuit while the speed-: oraeter registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine quaint Mongol villages of shepherds and their families, watching with half-startled, inquisitive . eyes the queer white man and the even stranger maclrfnes that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their warnings in no uncertain language. A pardrama of Life—such as it is in this out-of-the-way corner of the world—shoppers, peasants, roving brigands, Lamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched to.carts, caihel.trains of desert traders—so .'primitive, i t . ail 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 unearthed the skull, of the Baluchithirium, the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. . . I n 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. venture has depended upon the automobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. A plan for a new Washington State. Board of Education was proposed by President. C. H. Fisher in an address before the Forum1, an organization of the faculty," at Edens Hall, Monday evening, Feb. 14, following the regular monthly dinner of the club. According to-his plan the board should consist of seven.laymen, appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, each One serving a term of seven years. One member should be appointed from each of the congressional districts, and two appointed at large. This would avoid "getting, too many representatives from one section and would bring together the different representatives with their varied interests. President Fisher said that the powers and duties of the boards would be those of the present state board of education together with the powers and duties of the joint board of higher: curricula which -was abolished in 1925. The board would also have power over budgets of the five higher institutions/ The institutions would retain boards of regents and trustees and woujd he^expected to work with the stateooard of education.

The envious demanded a substitute, and hence the advent of the first "school-girl complexion." Rouge, properly applied, is a perfect substitute; there is hone better. But the trouble is, only about one-sixteenth of the women know how to apply it correctly. The other fifteen-sixteenths daub it on periodically until they look like wild Indians on the warpath. Stand in the halls some day and watch the girls go by. Note the flaming cheeks that nature coulcknever imitate; strangely colored cheeks, showing that the artist has no knowledge of what shade is correct for her type, nor what amount is necessary. The question-is:. Why do they do it? Of course it .takes a man to explain that. He says, "They are trying to attract attention, as all women are. They lack the natural charms; they aren't good talkers; are not outstanding in any way. So out of a little box comes their distinction. People can't help noticing them." This is ho sob-story of the poor shop-girl. There are a great many Normal girls who need to take a course in correct dress, hair dress, and complexion application. An Editorial-Writing; Contest. The Editor of the Messenger is offering a prize to the best editorial written by a.-' member ^ of the Messenger staff between, this; " ue » n d the last this quarter. A very encouraging move, and it is hoped this will be done every quarter. : On Thinking. A little discussion was'staged the other day among several enthusiastic embryo philosophers. The gist of their discussion was this: Thinking of thinking. We think there - are a great many people who think that they do think, but do not in fact think, at all; arid there are very few people who do not think whether they think or not, but who really think so much that they do not have time to think whether they are thinking or not; and the people who think that they think do not really think before they say what they think; while those who do -not think that they think, think so much that they' sometimes fail to Say what they think. Moral: We do not always think when we begin to say: " I think...." It has merely become a habit to introduce further remarks. Is dancing recreation or strenuous exercise? The students in this school are required to take a certain amount of work in the gymnasium each week. It hardly seems fair to coat a dance floor with a glue preparation like that which gummed the shoes of those present at the outside girls' informal last Saturday in Edens Hall. Enjoying Music. , Sometimes those musical concerts given at the assembly are a sweet torture. They make you sleepy, and you cannot help it. How could you, '.fz A ^••y^...^iiEsreBtmg:: p r o j ^ a m ^ aa given m . ^ ;morning. -The^plajVv' basedT^jpn i'ihe, aok ;'®wahu" b y ^^ ,ed out arid presented: by t ^ ^ t h i rd grade, as a dramatization of- building a H o p ! Indian home. i): _ i ' - •; The f ir st scene showed the interior with: the three -wails made to represent the tan-clay-Xqi, ihe adobe house, and the Hop! fireplace which ; was made; frorii boxes. ; ;i_ y; ; \; A number, of little girls, represent-, ing Indian mothers, sang a lullaby to their, babies.. while they crushed the corn. An" Indian brave entered and asked the chief for the, tokens for building of a home. These t o k" ens, which were blessed by the chief-were necessary in home building as they were a guarantee of health, happiness and plenty. Scene two took place on the South end of the mesa where a Hopi village could be seen in the distance.--~ ^ Chief. Acmo Sought A group of Indian braves came to old Chief Acmo to ask for help in building a home. Chief Acmo, while acting as an announcer to the audience, told the braves how to build the home. They then paced the dimensions and decided, how the house was to be built. The door was.to put at the east so it would get the blessing of the rising sun. Eagle feathers were to be used as tokens of good luck and the bowls of meal placed to insure plenty. The play ended with an Indian dance around the imaginary walls of the house. Co-operation Necessary The production of the play called for co-operation with the other departments of study. In the first place a knowledge of geography was necessary in making the scenery. Their construction work consisted of the making of the corn crushers, fire place, tlie babies' cradles and the walls. iwaW ^That^iglHear^ his :riain lt;i bti^thei;-;ra^at lt;w*;;of5:A^eri'- ca'f -riipstr popnlafc |^r gt; ^ f e riaanages t o produce a:inoyie which J i e . c ^ s his '^dustriaVJ We^l^V^ dents were iri_ .this way educatedin-jdiistriallyi (I^CTes^g-if tnie). :No\v this movie du '-t.' happen every • Wed* riesday., Oh no, sometimesthe, movie wasI put isideforia: week and town talent entertained in its iteftd:Then again both,' at times, happened on the same day, making a two hour assembly.

The Vikings to date have lost only one game and they have proved themselves to be a formidable aggregation of basket shooters. They have swept the minor colleges of Washington off their feet, giving only the Savages ;*' victory ; orer them. They redeemed themselves however,by defeating Cheney twice on the local court. Perhaps, there would .be nothing wrong in preparing a rousing send-off for the Viking Basketball team and their Coach when they leave for Lacey and Seattle, to take on the St. Martin's-and U. of W. Frosh in return games. They deserve the support of the entire student body, and they should be sent off on their trip with the feeling that the school is behind them. • — * * # * ...Talk has been going the rounds about an AU-Tri-Normal team.

At center, who has proved oi more value to their team than Jensen? - His accuracy on long shots has won applause of the crowds from time to time; ^iri the Tri-Normal games, he copped high point honors, and a man of such scoring ability should be of great value to a mythical All-Tri- Normal team. From the way Cheney and Ellens-burg performed here in Belilngham, the Cheney Savages had the smoother working machine of the two.

The Supers gradually increased their lead, while the Grocerymen were, beginning to look at the game in anything but a jovial manner. Finally the game ended 46 to 39, in the School Boys' favor.

C' A. floor when-it meets «the Shell Oil quintet. The Jayvees are but one game -behind the leading Roland Wreckers, so a win will keep them still in the running. Having the reputation of being the; most erratic outfit in the league, the Jayvees at all times are an uncertain quantity. But tonight they are primed to close the year with a decisive win, and a good exhibition of basketball may "be looked for. Since Maurice Bilizard has turned in his suit, the team will line up with Thorlakson and Bowler or Nor-by at the forward posts; Bob Fisher at center; . and Lundberg and Morse at guard.

Mt. Baker. ; '' ' ' / One group--of fourteen, led by Al Brown, left at seven in the morning and motored as far as Shuksan. The last five miles were made over snow that at times was three feet deep. After reaching Shuksan the group began the hike up the road' that leads to' the Meadows. There was hardly any .trail, through the snow and the crust was not strong enough to hold the weight of a person so that it really was a strenuous' hike. - After climbing about three miles a halt was-called for dinner. A fire was built' and everyone was soon busy roasting hot dogs. Even though everyone ate ravenously, part of the food had to be carried back in the pack- sacks. "All. of the party got a chance to try their luck on skiis and some became1 rather efficient, in the use of them before the day was over. Snow ball fights were numerous and often quite exciting. Sliding down the sides of the ravine'. was also great sport. I The.group left Shuksan about four and arrived: home at seven. Those taking this trip were: Ruby Persohn, Edha Wise, Bertha Burklund, Blanch Schuster, Elinor Bosshart, Madeline Bosshart; J Violet Waech, Alberj; Brown, /Calvin Mosher, Bill iKeUeyv George Lunbard, Ellsworth Lumley) Ted5Lumley; and Melvin Howell. lt; All declared; It? a-glorious dayi : : To % consider:a; "number^ of ^"details that arise; iin connect work of; the Inter-CSub ^Couhcil was the purpose with which that body met' at a speciai^ffleeting held on Monday, "January 14, a t 7 o'clock. ,.

Friday, May 4^1923 RANGERS ARE STRONG 7s Dope Favoring Vikings in Spite of Last Week's Defeat at Hands of Laceyites; Lorang Will Oppose With a 3 to 0 defeat staring tliem in the face, at the hands'of the St. Martin College nine last ^Saturday, •the Normal Vikings will again cross "bats with the Hangers here this Saturday on W.aldo field at-2:30 o'clock, in a return game, which has all promise of being one of the best exhibitions of baseball that will be played here this season. Two errors and a passed ball, which netted the Laceyites two runs cost the Blue and White the game, played at Lacey last Saturday. If playing on the home field has anything to do with it ,the hilltoppers have a fine chance to cop the game here this Saturday. Vikings Favored •Despite the fact of last week's defeat dopesters have picked the locals to emerge victorious in the coming contest and "unless the dope bucket receives another severe upset the game is bound to be a close one. In the game last week-end the Laceyites Avere only able to secure three bm'gles from the offerings of Thor-lakson, while the locals were only to get four singles from the offerings of the St. Martin left-handed mound ace, Lorang, who is favored to op-pose "the Vikings on the mound here Saturday. First Home Game .The Saturday contest will be the first home game of the year and a large crowd of students and outsiders is expected to turn out to see it. Possible Eiveups Wingard will probably start on the mound for the Vikings, with the rest of the lineup as follows: McClurken, ss; Odell, 2b; Clark, ef; Smith, c; Johnson, rf; hTorlakson, 3b; Thor-sen, lb; Bailey, rf. Go-op, Through Serving Gritical Buyers, Carries Quality Goods College Buying Group, Being Most Critical of Any Such Groups, Causes Co-op to Carry Merchandise of Only Highest Quality to Supply Students' Wants Because the college buying group is the most particular in the country, and because it insists on the highest quality and prices which' are right, the Student's Go-op, a store designed primarily to serve this group,' is therefore one which deals only in articles which are of the highest quality and are likely to suit the demands of the critical • clientele which it serves, states manager Sam Ford. Elsewhere in this issue of the Messenger .appears an advertisement for the Co-op, in which the students are asked what certainly widely advertised terms associated with high grade merchandise mean to them. The results of such an inquiry, if it was carried out, would show that, by the reading of advertisements and actual contact with the articles through use of them, members of the college group have become accustomed to ask for and accept only the highest quality merchandise. This has led to one end only. The AND FACULTY TAKE TOGETHER Campus Day Celebrated by Work During Forenoon and Contests; Vodyil-Dance End Attractions. ii Arthur Johnson, Tenor, Appears Here on May 8 Dr. Frye Speaks on Biological Station in Friday Assembly Dr. T. C. Frye, head of the Botany -department at the University and director of the Puget Sound Biological Station, presented an informal talk regarding the work at the Friday Harbor station during last Friday's assembly. Slide pictures of the station and the surrounding country illustrated Dr. Frye's- subject. Hi's motive for coming before the students was to give them a better idea of what the school is like and what is expected of those that attend. According to him good, strong, willing workers are needed.. . The slides, which were made from snaps taken by students there, show- . ^ed the.girls as well as the boys wading out into the water for specimens. Beautiful winding trails, with ferns on either side higher than one's head, ' makes for an ideal place in which to study nature. According to Dr. Frye when the students from the east see these tall ferns for-the first time, they marvel at the sight. Sunday trips are planned for those who care to go. On these trips picnic lunches are taken along and served by the girls. The school rents a gas boat for about twenty dollars a clay for ~ the purpose of studying the sea animals. Sometimes they capture interesting prizes; for instance a devil fish and a young seal. This boat takes classes from the school for the entire day. , ; . Station Well Located The Puget-Sound Biological Station is located on San Juan Island. The work here consists of laboratory work, lectures, field trips and discussions. The island affords, an excellent" place in which to study different kinds of. plant and animal life, .; their environmental conditions and .adaptations to these conditions. Normal to Build New Laboratory The annual operating cost is about #15,000.00 a year. , Several laboratories, a library, and a dining hail Arthur Johnson, tenor, wil sing at the Normal assembly next Tuesday, May $. Mr. Johnson appeared here last year and was especially well-liked by the student body. He; possesses a clear ,and beautiful voice, nice diction, and an exceptionally pleasing personality. His program is sufficient proof of his versatility. Those who remember the delightful way in which JMr. Johnson sang the Russian sleigh song last year are looking forward with eagerness to the number by Kountz. The artist has a light and merry way Avith the gay numbers which never fails to appeal to student audiences. In common with many of the younger artists Mr. Johnson is a college graduate. More, he is a member of that most exclusive scholarship organization. the Phi Beta Kappa. One of the interesting points regarding Mr. Johnson's performance is that both he and his accompanist, Miss May Van Dyke, play entirely from memory and carry no music with them upon their tours. This does not mean that their repertoire is at all narrow for they are able to give about 150 songs from memory. Mi-. Johnson's program on Tuesday includes: Deep River, arranged by IT. T. Bur-liegh: Varvunder Friska, Swedish folk song, arranged by Gustav Hagg; Me Suis Mise en Danse, French folk sonk, arranged%by Arnold Bax: Lizzie Linsay. arranged by Fritz Kreis- !er.

The Students' Co-op created for the sole benefit of the student body which owns it, has made a study of the demands of the students in all fields, with the result that today there is scarcely an article of wide use which cannot be obtained at the Co-op, if students need it. The result: The Co-op. serving the most critical buyers of the entire nation, and being pledged to meet the neds of the student body which owns it, has one of the most complete stock of quality merchandise on its shelves of any store of its type. It is this which has won it a rank as a Class "A" store in the bluebook of College Bookstores. In the past the Co-op has told the student body that it takes its hat off to none, because it is a class "A" store, and that if the class of 190S should come back it Avould find a much different store. Now the Co-op. is telling the student body that it takes its hat off to none because the stock which'it carries is of the highest quality and meets the demands of the student body and that it is much different from the infant store of 1U08 because in the past twenty years the taste of the college group has heightened and widened until now a college bookstore is the supply headquarters for the aristocracy The College Buying Group,. FACULTY WOMEN WIN Keller, McPherson and Ullin Star in Annual Tilt Between Women of Faculty and Student Body. McCall Expresses Appreciation Andy McCall, manager of the Viking Vodvil. wishes, to express his appreciation to all who participated in this performance and lo all others who gave their assistance toward making it .perhaps the most successful Vodvil staged in our local auditorium. McCall states that the co-operation afforded- him. was unusually hearty, and decreased materially the number of difficulties with which a manager is usually confronted. History of Picture "Laughing Cavalier" Feretted Out by Messenger Reporter One of the most successful events of the school year, Campus Day, held with the Viking Vodvil Tuesday, was declared to have been the best eA'er held. From early morning until late in the evening, faculty members and students toiled, played and laughed until the event went down in the history of the school as perhaps the most-outstanding held for some time. The Viking Vodvil resulted in a win for the Freshman class which, in the estimation of the audience, which awarded the prize by its applause, presented the best of the eight acts. A mixed chorus, directed by Naomi Smith, and. composed of the following; Helen Stine, Frances DeLong, Kathryn Rood, Jerry McKee, Rose Brooks, Naomi Smith,. Joe Hermsen, Keith Rumrey, Kelly Hammit, Dave Turnbull, Johnny Byrnes and Earle Swanson, was the prize winning stunt. Other colorful and novel stunts featured the vodvil, which was managed by Andy McCall. Before an audience of 800 persons, the Edens Hall girls, the MacDowell club, the Sehome Serenaders,- the Men's club, the Thespians, the Philos, the Freshmen, and the Faculty performed, putting on a group of varied acts which brought forth much applause and laughter. Campus Day itself, the successor to Sneak Day, was responsible for the discovery of what is estimated as o0 new muscles per capita, four hours of honest work improving both body and school grounds. During that time, under the direction of student officers, students and faculty members alike toiled with pick, shovel and rake, doing the many odd jobs Avhich would not be done -with the small staff of caretakers and janitors. A picnic lunch and field games in the afternoon finished the Campus Day proper and made way for the Vodvil in the evening. Prominent among the events of the day was the football game between the women's team and the team composed of women faculty members. Stars for the latter squad included Miss Or-pha McPherson and Miss Ullin, botli of whom were bulwarks in the line. As signal barker. Miss Keller put up a very -creditable performance^ guid ing her team to a 12 to 0 victorv.

Then the Weekly Messenger will be gone forever. In its place will be a newspaper under a new heading. Five more weeks of this quarter, then no more of the Weekly Mess, the Weakly Effort, or other "appropriate " nicknames. Another school tradition will have.been broken. - ' "The Weekly Messenger" it has been for over twenty years. In fact the name has become a by-word here. "The Weekly Messenger" has become so much an institution, that to cast it aside at first may seem a heresy. "The Weekly. Messenger" is now so natural for us to use that it has lost all meaning; it no longer has significance. And therein lies its weakness. The name, when analyzed, really means so little. To one not familiar with this school, "Weekly Messenger" may mean nothing more than a country journal's title, not at all that of a college weekly. And if we are a college weekly, or ever hope to become one, it may be just as well to now meet a need for a new name, make the change, and let nature take its course. In its selection of the "Northwest Viking," the student-faculty committee which chose the Messenger's successor, attempted to find a really significant title, one which would be typical of Bellingham Normal, its ideas and its traditions. Although one of these very traditions was being broken with the casting aside of a name which had been used tor years, the committee felt that in this case the setting up of a new tradition was more desirable than the prolonging of an old one, which has clearly been outgrown. Bellingham is no longer what it was twenty years ago, and the Messenger itself occupies a different place in school life; it is deserving of a new title. The "Northwest Viking", the unanimous choice of the committee, is the result of this attempt to find a really significant name for this paper. And we believe that it has succeeded in its selection of a worthy title. The name embodies all that could be wished. First it states definitely the geographical position of the school the paper is representing; then sets forth in one word, "Viking," the expression of all that we set up as our ideal. Courage, fearlessness, the will to explore the unknown— to grow—all are inferred by "Viking." The name has become a firmly established tradition as applied to our athletic teams in the space ot three years. Now, when used as the title of our school newspaper, may it not enjoy a more exalted position than ever held before? The Weekly Messenger it has been in the past—The Weekly Messenger it is now, and the Northwest Viking it shall be in the future. Long may it live!

A cabinet has been purchased by the eighth grade of the Training department, to be used in filing the letters and postcards which they have been receiving from Miss Winifred Spieseke, during her tour of the world. The countries which she has •visited'and.'written about so far, are Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Egypt, the Holy Land, and China. She is now in London. The children of the eighth grade find this material especially valuable because it gives view ofUhe conn-, tries as they are today and not as they were when the geographies were written. They took a collection and bought a case so that the future children of the eighth grade and school can make use of it. Miss Siekseke was seventh grade teacher in the Training Schoollast year and taught in the sixth grade the year before. * * * * •• A hive of bees is the latest addition to the Training school collection.

The three scenes showed the progress of mankind in the use of fire from the time of savagery until the present electric furnace. Apparatus which they had made in the Industrial Arts class was used throughout. The first scene showed two boys dressed as savages making a fire by friction. The second showed a monk who was interested in alchemy and experimenting with chemicals. He discovered how to make matches and made his fire with them. The boys in the third scene were modern scientists who were experimenting with electricity and found that it produced heat when forced through certain resistant metals. The result of their efforts was the electric furnace and forge. "And I ask if life is full of beauty, and full of nobility and creating, why don't they write about it?" . FRYESPEAKS (Oontiaued from Pag* O M ) By E. A. BOND The outstapding contribution to education that has been attained during the last half dozen years has been the achievement in curriculum revision. It is a characteristic of leaders in education to center on a single objective at a time. This objective at present is the one named above! The underlying motive back of this curriculum revision has been a desire to adopt class room materials to the natural inclination of the children and to let the. knowledge and skills taught grow out of their activities. Much good has come out of the endeavor. We will not soon again allow the technique of a subject to far exceed the use to which it can. W put. There has been much elimination of the unused and unusable materials that were so prevalent a few years ago. This certainly has been a gain not only in the loss of time spent on useless materials but even more in the loss of ability to understand that which has no concrete reason for being.

MARTIN RANGERS 3-0 DOROTHY SOLLIE IS HEAD OF W. A. A. FOR NEXT FOUR QUARTERS The Women's Athletic association elected its officers for the coming year at its regular meeting on Monday afternoon at four o'clock. They are as follows: Dorothy Sollie, president; Alice Sundquist, vice-president: Rosa Ott, secretary-treasurer; Virginia Beyer, assistant secretary-treasurer. Frieda Massey is representative- to the interclub council. Anna Hick-lin has been appointed general chairman of Field day and Edith Gunder-son is food chairman. The date for Field day has been changed from May 26' to June 2. Other business carried on at the W. A.

April 2-1 between Vanadis Bragi and Philos but was called off. The game will' be played off at a later date. Thompson's Independents and the Philos played the third scheduled game of the Intramural baseball league last Wednesday. The fracas ended in a 10-7 win for Thompson's ball tossers. The first game was a tilt between Normal Drug and Thompson's Independents, the Drug Store Cowboys landing on top with a 7-0 victory. This puts the Normal Drug at the head of the percentage list with one win and- no defeats, Thompson's Independents are next with, a win tally and one defeat. Philos occupy , the cellar with one defeat. The Vanadis Bragi have not played a game yet. A game was scheduled for Mother's Day Sunday, May 13 SEND HER STATIONERY C A N D Y Mother's Day Card Primed for their hardest match of the season, Coach Sam Carvers three man Viking varsity tennis team, composed of Myer Thai, Bob Fisher, and Elden Bond, will invade Seattle Saturday morning where they will tangle with the strong University of Washington freshmen net squad on the University courts. The Yearlings have one of their most-powerful teams in history, several of its players having defeated ranking Washington varsity racquet stars. The loss of Howard Langlie, youthful court sensation, who withdrew from the University this quarter, will weaken the frosh considerably. Although the Blue and White representatives do not expect to cop the match they expect to give their opponents a hard battle. Myer Thai, the Viking's ranking player, is roundmg into mid-season form and can be counted upon to make a good showing against the ranking frosh star. Coach Carver has a seasoned and well balanced team, which equals if not surpasses in ability last year's squad. Thai and Fisher are both let-termen having played against the frosh last season, a match which the Normal incidentally lost. Bond while not a letterman, is an experienced player and when at top form, plays a sensational game. Saturday's match will give the Viking hetmen an opportunity to limber their muscles up in competition and prepare for the tri-Normal championship play at Ellensburg, May 19. Coach Carver's team should make a strong bid for the tri-normal title again this year, despite the fact that the matches are to be played away from home on dirt courts. There has been no nivatcrial change in the standings of the ladder tournament this week. Thai, Fisher, and Bond still stand one, two, three, in the order named. Opening the intercollegiate season with a 6 to 3 victory over the Washington Frosh, Friday and dropping a 3 to 0 game to St. Martin Rangers, Saturday, the Viking baseball squad completed the first lap of the 1928 baseball schedule. Friday morning the Vikings trounced Coach Elwood Davis' Washington Babes by a 6 to 3 score in a hard contested game, which was one -of the big attractions of Washington's Campus day. Wingard Hurls Wingard went the route for the Normalites, pitching a nice game, yielding seven safeties, and,receiving good support from his mates.

Included in • the forenoon program was a treasure hunt, a construction period, during which articles which would be of use around camp, -were made, and a swim for those few brave souls who had the courage to venture in. Luncheon was the occasion for much gayety, display of wit and musical ability. An active clean-up campaign and the taking of. "snaps" "of the girls and their handiwork ended the day, and they reluctantly prepared to break camp. By two-thirty they were well on their way to Bellingham. carrying with them their handiwork and the memories of a most pleasant holiday.

Kibbe, and Mr. Polagius Williams represented the Bellingham Normal at the meeting of the Executive Schoolmen's conference and Puget Sound Schoolmaster's club which was held on the University campus Friday and Saturday of last week. Lectures, papers, and discussions were centered about the theme of the professionalization of teaching and the need of a code of echics for schoolteachers. which might almost serve for the main inquiry. Do the college students believe in God, or have they been indocrinated with other beliefs so that they have overthrown the established order and in its place have set up other things ? Granted that the students believe in God, is He the all-powerful taught in Sunday School and church, or is He something else, just a minor obstacle in the chosen path the individual wishes to pursue ? How about the Bible? Has it been thrown to one side with the abandoned garters . and textbooks? Do students still read the Bible? Do they believe it? Do they accept it is the truth as taught in the churches, Or dp they apply their PPPPP

WASHINGTON Friday, -April • 25/:; l$3jQllfe Normalite STUDENT ESSAY CLOSED LIBRARY ADULT EDUCATION ROOM 112 —Bob Walters The library was again closed for a musical event, last Wednesday evening. If there is any t r u th to the number of "howls" set up by would-be- students, we feel that there was ample reason to keep the doors to the domain of books open. Jennie Berg Heads League of Women -W. S. N. S. Even Normalite wasn't immune to some of the criticism at the bottom of the questionnaires recently published. Several would like more "Sundstrom Sarcasm', but we don't happen to see i t that way. Besides we have had plenty of sleep lately. There you have a little of it, studes. Officers for the Women's League were elected last Friday during the assembly hour. Jennie Berg was elected president; Louise Smith, vice president; Aileen Hurlburt, secretary; and Esther Nordquist, treasurer. Following the election a short program was presented. Gladys Smith was in charge. Little Bobby Haugen, six-year-old, played a violin solo, with Muriel Myhre at t he piano. Bernadine Brown gave two readings, and Marion Bodiker, Ann Swanson, and Dorothy Knuppen-berg sang, Miss Knuppenberg playing the accompaniment. o BOARD OF CONTROL MAKES UP BUDGET FOR THIS QUARTER Arthur Gravrock Is Elected Four- Quarter Representative to the Board of Control. M'DONALD, VICE PRESIDENT -W. S. N. S.- Either "great minds run in the same channels" or some long necks were able to allow many to gaze on the paper of the person that used the phrase "bigger and better" during our little reader's quizz. W. S. N. S. • "Adult Education for Teachers", by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, is one of the main articles in the W. E. A. Journal. The article deals directly with its title and tells of the folly of students feeling: that their education ends with the receiving of a diploma. ——W. S. N. S. Campus Day, Viking Vodvil, Tennis Court Rules, and Next Year's Budget Come Under Discussion. The author-declares that if Adult education would take a good hold, the teacher could fundamentally prepare the student without trying to cram him with enough knowledge i n a few months to last him the rest of his life. Then, too if the teachers would spend part of their time in learning something new and constructive they would better be able to realize the position of their students, as "well as to aid themselves. W. S. N. S. People of Bellingham figure quite frequently in the Journal. One thing was especially outstanding. Maxine Winter, who is in the sixth grade of t h e training school here, had an essay published. This is entirely contrary to past rules of not publishing student work, but t he essay was exceptional. -W. S. N. S.- The boys all gathered around in room 112, last Monday noon, some talking and some reading. The orchestra started playing, and everyone settled back in his seat to have an enjoyable hour with a fire in the fireplace and refreshments the only items lacking. Then, too, there were several speeches and after all was over, the old 112 was officially changed to "Men's Club" room.. Holding a special meeting a week ago yesterday, and a regular one last Monday, the old administration headed the Board of Control for the last time. The new officers were present at the second meeting and are now in control of the student affairs. One of the first things worked on was the budgeting of the student fees for this quarter. The items per capita were dispensed as follows: Northwest Viking $ .25 Social Life : 75 Assemblies 3.25 Athletics 1.75 Two appointements were'made for Campus day. Herbert C. Ruckmick, Industrial Arts teacher, was to preside as Generalissimo, while Ralph Miller will be asked to be student manager. Notices have been posted, requesting written applications from those intending to apply for the' managership of the Viking Vodvil. The manager will receive for his services, the first ten dollars profit, and twenty per cent for all over that. Rules for the Tennis Courts were .also discussed but no action was taken. With some big time political speeches, conservative and otherwise, posters, illegal handbills, and personal persuasion preceding the starter's gun, in the big three lane school official race, and a thrilling dash to the finish line with Quick, McDonald, and Gravrock in the lead, the school had a successful "indoor trackmeet", last Friday. There were eleven runners selected from the trial heats several weeks ago, but when it came time for the race to begin the number had slightly decreased. The retiring president, Lyle Summers, had on his running togs and was all set to enter as a big favorite, but at the last moment he hobbled off to join the "old soldier squad" and leave the honors tb fall on one of the youngsters. An amendment to the constitution was voted and passed, which now makes it possible for a representative serving on the Board of Control for two quarters to get a "W" pin. Abode of Liberty Dedicated by Men Sixty-five members of the Men's club, were present at the Club room dedication held last Monday. Dean Marquis, in his address, stressed t he persistent attitude of the men in their method of securing the stronghold. Due to t h e men's new spirit of dignity, independence and ability tb meet the Toreador at his own game, the faculty decided to present the club with an Abode of Liberty, where dignity reigns supreme in an independent atmosphere. - o — — — MANY SUGGESTIONS MADE BY STUDENTS IN QUESTIONNAIRES House Notes Branded as Dry and Uninteresting by Some; Student Opinions Best Liked by Majority.

Randolph, only fifteen years of age, is a student of the violin under Albert Benson and his playing has caused considerable comment in the Northwest. His sister, Lillian, twelve years of age, plays his accompaniment in a creditable manner, and is a student of Charles Bowen, pianist. These two talented children are offering a varied and unusual program. Open Season On For Measles and Boils The Appointment Bureau has secured a great number of positions during the past week. The following people have been placed: Clare Wilson Mildred Thomas, Virginia Turner, Louise Griffin, Madlyn Young, Mabel Wilson, and Velma Mason, wall do cadet work in Seattle primary grades; Thelma Anderson, Cora Walton, Jessie Grieve, Edith Dyer, and Margaret Solum, will cadet in Seattle intermediate grades.

After twelve days absence due to illness, Isabel Lancaster has returned to school. Miss Mead announces that this is the " open season for boils and sprained ankles. A number of cases of each have been reported to the nurse's office during the past two weeks. Because illness has prevented her from continuing her studies, Helen Purcell has found it necessary to withdraw from school this quarter. o Korean Lecturer Will Speak Here Tuesday Mrs. Induk Kim, a native of Korea, will speak to the I. R. C. club and Y. W. C. A., before specially arranged meetings Tuesday, April 29. All students are invited to hear Mrs. Kim, who is a speaker capable of grasping the Korean situation politically and religiously. She has been received with enthusiasm by students in all types of institutions including some of the largest Eastern colleges and was a speaker at the Detroit Student Volunteer convention two kears ago. From a list of topics Mrs. Kim will allow her listeners to choose one in which thiy are most interested and she ' will speak on t h a t subject; The Northwest Viking questionnaire in Tuesday's assembly, produced remarkable and interesting but nevertheless serious, results, with improvement suggestions running from bigger and better ashcahs in the United States Senate to "Shoot the Editor!" Of the approximate four hundred questionnaires answered about one hundred made varied suggestions for improvement. Probably the greatest argument between the "suggestors" came in regard to house notes. Some demanded more house notes while others put a strict taboo on them, calling them "dry and uninteresting". A cry went up from the female spcrts that -the space given to women's athletics was far too inadequate to serve the_needs of the school's major group. As one Co-ed put it, "There are about four girls to every boy in this school, and yet the boys get almost the entire sports write-up. I think it would be fairer if the girls got at least half of the sports page. This would be more interesting to a greater majority in the school".

A l t h o u g h we aren't putting on a total eclipse this year, we expect this one to be very good, and can promise definitely a marked dimunition of light a n d the uncanny winter chill which comes over everything within the advance of the eclipse. W e would like to recommend that the photography class be prepared to gather snapshots, because it is seldom that a newspaper is able to sponsor an eclipse, even a partial one, and we are hoping that this one will be appreciated.

On t h e other hand, Bellingham Normal is t r a i n i n g not business men a n d women, but school teachers, so out of respect t o t h e teaching, p r o fession, t h e training-school children, a n d t h e s t a t e law, smokers should be discreet. However, this idea of s t r i c t punishment, many times unknown to t h e offender, because of smoking, is unfair. For instance, it h a s recently been rumored about t h a t t h e Appointment B u r e a u would do n o t h i n g at all toward aiding a girl who smoked. Though n o t h i n g was ever published-about t h i s where it would be available to all students.

Prosh for their annual clash, Saturday will see the opening of the track season for the Carverites. Every year the Vikings take a drubbing from. the Frosh, but, considering the amount of material the Prosh coach has to work with, and the fourteen men our • coach has, the Normal school makes an ^excellent showing. This meet generally decides for the coach the chances the Viking squad will have for the Tri-Normal title to be lield here on May 24. Eagan's nice performance in the half-mile Saturday may show that the middle distance runner is capable of taking the first place .in the 880 event Saturday.' Dixon also may pull through with a first in the broad jump, his jump of over 20 feet, Saturday, proving him capable of winning this event. However, most of the Vikings' points will be seconds and thirds, that is if the meet is to be judged from past meets. VIKING TRACK SQUAD MEETS FROSH TEAM! FOR CINDER HONORS Coach Carver and Thirteen Spiked Shoe Athletes to Meet With Uni versity Trackmen in Seattle. Trip to Viqueeri Lodge Proves Day of Rest forT SHOULD BE GOOD MEET Tomorrow..' morning, coach Sam Carver and thirteen-Viking trackmen will leave for? Seattle, where sthey will meet the University of Washington; Freshmen A in a dual track and field.meet at 2:30. The Vikings are listed on the short end of- the odds and are given little chance of out-pointing the strong Frosh., outfit! Considering \ past Frosh marks, the. Hilltoppers have their best 'chances in the 440, 880, 2-mile broad jump, polevault, and javelin. Brink-man should make a good showing in his favorite event, the 2 mile run, while Carboreau and Egan should grab places in the shorter distances. Flowers is given a good chance to cop the polevault, and Shelton should get at least a second in the javelin. This constitutes most of the Vikings' strength, although points can also be acquired in the other events. The men making the trip are Love-gren, Brinkman, Falkner, Quick, Cole, Flowers, Dixon, Egan, Carbon-eau, Duyff, Shelton, Voris, and Graverock. Saturday, April 19, the Vikings took a practice meet from the Whatcom Redskins by the score of 65V± to 56%. The meet was close all the way and the outcome was in doubt until the relay. The Redskins showed a well-balanced team and several times were made, especially by Barnhart, in the 100 yard and 220 yard dash. Eleven W. A. A. girls, accompanied by Miss Mildred Jewell and Miss Beatrice Doty, with their best hiking boots and best smiles landed, on Sinclair Island last Saturday morning for an all-day trip at Viqueen lodge. It was a day for pleasure, and so little work was accomplished about the ^building. The grounds were cleaned and the lodge scrubbed and——but that is sufficient work for a lazy day. , ' _' Four of the girls went in swimming. There were many hikes along the shore, many people who just lay in the sun, and a calm trip back on the boat that evening. —o —- VIKINGS WIN GAME FROM WARRIOR NINE M l Six Matches Including Four- Singles and Two Doubles Will Be Played?

Up •to the present time it is very hard' to decide who will represent the Vikings in the conference meets because of lack of good weather to play off some interesting matches. At the present time Rork,, Emery, and Constantine seem to be the outstanding players, but as the season develops some changes may be made. * * * * MAY 3 OPENS BASEBALL SEASON Although the first conference game with St. Martin's is scheduled for May 3, the Viking Varsity has been getting into that smooth running type of a machine by meeting some of the local high school teams. In these games Coach "Pop" Gunn is getting a line on the squad with which he will start the conference grind. The Vikings have a hard hitting ball club this year and seem to be very^apable of handling the ball in the. infield and outfield. The battery sems to be working out to be one of a very high degree. With one more week of strenuous workouts the Norsemen will be making a strong bid for a championship year. .... * * * * THREE IN A ©ROW Now that Ellensburg has safely stowed away the Tri-Normal crowns in football and basketball, the'Wilx}-. cats are gunning for their third tir tle..

In a practice game played Tuesday night the Viking's Varsity ball team took the long end of a 9 to 3 score from a band of Whatcom high school "Warriors". Six of the Viking's runs were collected in the third inning and the other three later in the game. It was in this inning that "Occie" Thorsen not to be outdone by Eacrett's three-base hit, poled out a long hit driving in two runners and ending in a home run for "Occie". Iverson started on the mound for the Vikings while Scarlet twirled for the Whatcom lads. McCleary and Smith were on the respective opposite ends of the battery. Several changes were made to try out other prospects. Although the playing was ragged in spots the Vikings showed promise and with a little hard work should develop into a strong team. o "SMOKE-EATERS" LOSE GAMES ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 April 25 - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTONESTATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON DRAWS BIG CROWD Bellingham Little Symphony Pleases in?

Following was the "Ballet Suite", by GJuck-Mottl, characterized by intricate and varied melodies. • One of the most popular numbers was the "War Dance", by Skilton, with the haunting torn torn beat present throughout. Succeeding this was the quiet, restful melody of "Wine, Women, and Song", by Strauss.

For a long time he and many of his friends hired their term papers written by others. They always paid a rate according to the time spent in writing them. However, our hero received an inspiration and had one written under a different plan. But oh, was it terrible, dangling phrases, no punctua- ; tion, and numerous other evils. I t .was just like the big building that crumbled for the want ' of more cement and steel reinforcements in the concrete work. , Here's the point the poor1 fellow gave his work to the lowest bidder.

The color scheme of yellow was carried out with daffodils and candles. The Freshmen were entertained by a group of songs sung by six of the Sophomore girls. Miss Jones sang two very interesting Easter numbers. Then the bunny came in and surprised the girls with little favors. The Freshmen are grateful to the Sophomores who were responsible for the perfect Easter morning. There wat^a special birthday table Monday PPPPP

Thanksgiving is a good season for a prayer. Glenn Frank, U. of Wis-consin head, has given to the world a "Prayer for Teachers" in which .he says: '.'" • --.„ - "We have been content to be merchants of dead yesterdays, when we should have been guides into unborn tomorrows. . \' "We have schooled bur students -to be clever competitors in the -world as it is, when we should have been helping them to become creative co-operators in the making of the world as it is to be. "We... have., counted., knowledge more precious than wisdom. "From these sins of sloth may •we be freed. "May we realize that it is important to know the past only that we jnay live wisely in the present. "May we so awaken interest that discipline will be less and less necessary. Help us to realize that, in the deepest sense, we cannot teach anybody anything; that the. best we «an do is to help them learn for -themselves. -"Help us to see that education is, after all, but the advanture of trying to make ourselves at home in the modern world. "May we be shepherds of the spirit as well as masters of the mind. "Give us, O Lord of Learners, a sense of the divinity of our undertaking.— Amen." . — W. S. N. S.

Teacher-to-be, your greatest problem of the future is beginning to be worked out for you. It is compensation, of course. Another conference was held the other day between a committee of city school teachers and the heads of the local school board... As conferences of this kind go, no definite conclusions were reached. The ieachers haoe been "sounding out" the board and studying the financial aspects of the situation. But, something will happen some .day, soon! The movement is. state-wide! W. S. N. S. Yes, Whitman . college, is brilliant this year and deserves a compliment as such. This^ school, located at Walla Walla, revealed a few days "ago that it had won the championship in every sport in the Northwest Conference during this year. This includes five major branches of athletics: basketball, football, baseball, track, arid tennis. '~ II Whitman defeats Willamette tomorrow it will mean another record, for they will have gone through the conference competition undefeated.

Stanley Craft and Edith Dyer were pronounced winners of the quarterly Extempore contest by the judges, Rev. Dwight C. Smith, of the Congregational Church, Rev. O. Mark of the Swedish Baptist Church and Miss Margaret Gray of Fairhaven high school in the regular Tuesday morning assembly, November 27. Six Speakers Chosen The six speakers who appeared at this time were chosen from a group of twenty-five contestants who spoke at the preliminary meet November 21. The following are the winners of this try-out as they appeared together with the subjects of their talks: Arthur Cram, 'Possibilities^ of a Hard Environment'; Helen Fitzwater, "Are Americans Materialistic?";, Phil Davis, "Mexico and the Quota Basis"; Mable Wilson, "Modern Advertising"; Stanley draft, "Shall Capital Punishment be,Abolished?"; Edith Dyer, "Waterways Problem." Introduction by Miss Altose Miss Bertha Altose introduced the speakers and gave a brief history of the Extempore work which was introduced two years ago to fill the vacancy made by the abandonment of Inter-collegiate debate. There is a contest held each quarter and two persons are adjudged winners each time. In the Spring, a final meet is held in which participate the winners of the former contests. The victor of this final encounter is awarded the silver cup, which is to remain in his possession for the ensuing year. The speeches this year were all delivered in a most interesting and statesmanlike manner and it was with difficulty that the judges were able to select the winner from so oratorical a group. 1 SHUT URGES HEALTH Anti-Tuberculosis League Lecturer Shows Necessity for Full Time Officer in Bellingham School. A lecture in the interest of the Anti-tuberculosis League and a health program for Bellingham, was; given November 23, at Montague McHugh Tearoom for the members and friends, of the Whatcom County Anti-tuberculosis League, by A. E. Stuht, M. D. Dr. Stuht emphasized the necessity of a fulltime officer in large communities. In order to make this possible the citizens of this city are being asked to vote a tax levy of not more than one half mill, oh Saturday. Isolate Individual Cases. The importance of isolating cases of individuals infected with disease such as infantile paralysis, tuberculosis, etc., was also stressed in this lecture; and in order to keep children in school everyday, so that the school term need not be broken into, it is necessary to ask co-operation from every person in tracing down carriers and other sources of infection. This would be possible if a full time officer were put in charge, and if each citizen' of the community' felt the social responsibility of knowing his own condition, i Dr. Stuht talked about the importance of .taking into consideration the future of the race, and making,provisions for the unfit jh society in orde rto protect those who are better able to carry on | from generation to generation. CLAIRE iWILSON Who plays the leading role in the Drama Club Play Sun-Up, to be Given Thursday, Dec. 6 MEN'S GLEE CLUB IS ORGANIZED BY FORTY SHT MUSIS Plans Are Being Made, to Travel Over Entire Northwest. Harold B. Smith Is Leader of New Group. Bellingham Normal will have a traveling Men's Glee Club very soon! This fact was the result of a meeting" of over forty men students which took place in room 228 Thursday of last week. The meeting was initiated by Mr. Harold B. Smith , of the Music department, and others interested in a Men's Glee Club for this school. Orchestra to Assist Although plans are yet immature, a five-piece orchestra composed of Normal students will assist the chorus in program numbers, and to give novelty and variety to the programs presented. Possibilities of working in short skits, or feature stunts and the like are very probable. Those present at the first meeting and others interested will meet Thursday, December 6, in room 228 at 4 p. m„ for more definite organization plans, it was announced yesterday. Teritory Is Ample Virtually the entire Northwest, which would include Whatcom, Skagit, and even Snohomish counties would furnish a large enough territory for the new club. Blaine, Lynden, Ferndale, and Bellingham of Whatcom county; and,also Mt. Vernon, Anacortes, and Sedro- Woolley are sure to be on the club's itinerary. Further points of consideration are Snohomish and Everett of Snohomish county, and New Westminster in British- Columbia. All points are within a two-hour drive from Bellingham. Student Managership According to plans, a student manager will be appointed by Mr. Harold Smith, or be elected by the group to serve until, the end "of this quarter. Due to lateness of the start no credit will be given until winter quarter, Mr. Smith stated at the last meeting. If the club obtains a charter from the Activities Comrnittee, the student manager will be appointed by the Board of Control, it was pointed out. The (Continued on Page Four) "Cabaret" Is Theme of Thespian's Program . -i "Cabaret" was the theme of the program presented at the Thespian Club meeting November 22. Under the direction fof Irene Arinabelle, the club room at Edens Hall was transformed into a cabaret with shaded lamps and palm trees.

December 6 Chosen Date. Thursday evening, December 6, at our own. 8:15, the Normal Drama Club will present its quarterly play, "Sun- Up." by Lulu Vollmer. Sun-Up is an accurate reproduction of the life of the Carolina mountaineer, illustrating a fast passing community psychology.. His ignorance, clannishness, and old laws of family feud and factors playing a part in this. interesting drama. The story, however, develops the necessary universal quality that drama must, possess—it shows the fundamental human nature that is part of us all. Lulu Vollmer, the author, has made her audience sympathize deeply with these people. She has shown them against the background of provincial ignorance and prejudice; she has made then-hopes, fears, dreams and longings The cast of Sun-Up has tried to put itself into the psychology of the people of the play—every effort in the directing^ of this drama will tend to make the habit backgrounds of the people of the play visible to the eye of the audience How well the cast under the direction of Mr. Hoppe will succeed in getting under the skin of these people will in itself be an incentive to see the production next week.

Thanksgiving Day is the day we Americans set aside for thanksgiving and praise to God for the mercies and happiness we have known in the year past. So, on that day, when we have all those good things to eat, let's stop a minute and think of all the blessings we have and give „ thanks and praise to Him, the Bestower of these blessings. .— D. A. SUN-UP One week from tomorrow night students, faculty and others interested in cjrama will witness the production of the Sun-Up, the Drama Club's play for this quarter. The Drama Club has always avoided the selection of trite, valueless plays but instead produces plays which will contribute something to the cultural lives of its audience. Sun-Up is such a play. A narrative of mother love, of the conquest of old fears and hatreds, community psychology, and family feuds it is and accurate reproduction of Carolina mountain life. This production will be one of the most prominent events of the season and we owe it to ourselves to be present. Mrs. O. C. Scudder, president of the Whatcom County Tuberculosis League announces the beginning of the sale of Chrismas Stamps immediately after Thanksgiving. This is done every wear by tHis organization to raise money for the prevention of tuberculosis. The work that is done is of a vital nature and we of the Normal School benefit by it directly when we send students to the chest clinic every three months, to be examined free of charge by the best lung specialist in Seattle, Dr. Henderson. When buying your Christmas stamps and seals, remember that the Anti-tuberculosis seals are very attractive and do not cost more than the other decorations of the same type. Remember that with every cent you spend, you may be helping to save some person's life. Statistics show that the White Plague claims a toll of human life which is exceeded by only two other diseases. ..—-M. B. TURKEY TALK .Gosh, when I think of all the FUN we're going: to get tomorrow, I just can't study or anything. Imagine being able to sit down to the annual turkey dinner and told to just go to i t That's my idea of a wonderful time. • * * * , Have you noticed the beaming faces on the kids going home? And have you heard that most of the school have been dieting so that they can eat more the 29th? Colly! f ^ i k t i d all the time, we thought ttai* ;Mary ^arkhurst and her J ^ n d w e r e only, trying to get thin, •'•vWt'iww.-'.we.' know. x % T H ^ E WEREN'T MANY AB-f «u!2NCES' THIS MbRiJIN -6H, But there's one class we won't have this week, that we are certainly going to miss—"rec" hour..... They say that we are only supposed to spend two hours on a subject for every hour that we spend in class. By the looks of some of the assignments for over the holidays, our worthy instructors evidently think that holidays should be exceptions—24 hours to a subject. Why can't there be some sort of Students' Union? Boy! but some of us who have to stay in town are going to miss a Thanksgiving football game. Too bad that such- a traditional event, has to • be'. discarded. ':- Ms DIRECT FROM BROADWAY What the well dressed man insists on wearing. The above is our dear friend Peter Kennedy, fashioned in one of Broadway's latest creations. The best ni design and texture, this garment is the chosen one of Mr. Kennedy who sets the styles for local Beau Brummels. It is interesting to note that contrary to the styles of former years the coat of the suit pictured above is a least three inches shorter, while the collar of the shirt is getting., much.. lower. The cap is the latest in collegiate headpieces and is worn, as you see, at a rakish angle by Mr. Kennedy. * * * * STUDENTS AND FACULTY RECEIVED A GREAT SHOCK TUES*- DAY AFTERNOON WHEN THEY LEARNED FROM MR. WIGGAM, THE LECTURER, THAT PEOPLE OF INTELLECTUAL MINDS LIVE TO A RIPE OLD AGE. ISN'T IT A SHAME THAT WE ARE DOOMED TO SUCH AN EARLY DEATH? Along with ..the ..appeal ..for., a change in the awards for athletics, we find another organization asserting itself. Certain members of the Drama Club have expressed a desire for sweaters for dramatic participation... The proposed plan calls, for a slip-over sweater upon the front of which shall appear a large letter "D" and on the back the name of the play participated in. For instance, should a person have played in the "Merchant of Venice," then that title would be placed on the sweater. And so with other plays such as, "The.. Poor.. Nut", "Craig's Wife", "the.. Wild.. Duck", etc. According to Mr. Wiggam a few generations ago We exhibited bovine facial ' characteristics from the danger line up... Isn't it too bad that some of us, although our phy~ sical make-ups have changed, still insist on throwing the male species of the bovine family? * * * * Since bowling has gained such a foothold at Normal, many students have appeared on the campus wearing bowler hats. Bob Bickford refused to bowl. It reminds him of his ball and chain. '•"Dante placed the cafduml sins in their rightful order in his immortal "Inferno." If this pre-rennaisance writer came and observed social proceedings of this Viking stronghold he would come to the conclusion that "gate-crashing" at the regular informal dances was not only bad— but the worst ever! Dante, along with his expose of these cardinal sins, also outlined their respective proper punishments. To prevent another "Inquisition" past conduct will not be forgiven —but it will be forgotten. Then for the future, let those attending Normal afairs bear the proper 'lettres d'entrance'. —G. W. L. o — CRASHING We admit, girls, that the boys have the best of it in this school, for they get invited to all the dances. But that is the only solution of the problem, and I think we should all be good enough sports to accept this as inevitable. When the Freshmen have a; dance, the Sophomore girls should show their sportmanship by giving the new freshmen a fair chance at the limited stag line; but in return, they have a right to expect the same courtesy from the freshmen girls at the sophomore dance. We are sorry the distinction has to made, but still we think it should be respected. —J. A. M. o BOOK REVIEW VSpider Boy" by Carl Van Vechten. Alfren A . Knopf; London and New York, 1928. Price $2.50 (Co- OP CIRCULATING LIBRARY.) •• "Spider Boy" is Carl Van Vech-ten in. a satirical mood', making, fun of all socity particularly .of that in the field of drama and moving pictures. •. ' Ambrose Deacon, the hero, is overdrawn and comical. He has' written, by chance, a play that has won him a great deal of unwelcome attention from "his public:" To get away from, interviews, newspaper men and admiring crowds, he accepts an invitation to visit his old friend in New Mexico, but, alas, on the way there he is completely taken in hand by a movie star and her director who insist against Deacon's protestations that he (Deacon) is going with them to Hollywood. Just as the female spider devours the male the women of Hollywood attempt to devour Ambrose Deacon. They attempt to consume him, to redirect his ideals, his desires and his whole life. j Van Vechten has shaped his characters much as a cartoonist draws silly people. His humor has been termed course by some critics but perhaps that's just a human reluctance to acknowlege our own incongruity. It might benefit some of us to see ourselves in caricature. Carl Van Vechten does just that and'then sits back and laughs. Miss Mable Wilson Is Presented Book 25 YEARS The Junior Class has' recently been organised and officers were, chosen. They are Bertram . Doran, president; Effie Wheeler, vice president; Ethel Everett, Secretary; Ruby Gough, treasurer, and Albert Stintson, Sergeant-at-Arms. They have also chosen the Junior Class Basketball team which will compete against the other class teams. November 1 a crowd of 'young Normal students drove to Ferndale where they enjoyed a chicken dinner in that thriving little metropolis. Merriment to and from Ferndale was the lively singing of the crowd that was chaperoned by Miss Myer. The Tarn O'Shanter •was entertained by Miss Buele Williams at ^r" home on Elk Street. Miss Jessie -•* from the El-lensburg Normal School, brought greetings from the Ellensburg stu dents and talked to us on "Opti mism." Shortly after the dedication of the new library on June 5, Miss Mable Zoe Wlison, librarian, received a beautiful copy of "Seventeenth Century Lyrics", by Norman Ault, from Mrs. C. X. Larrabee. The book, which was published in London, contains five hundred and sixty- six poems and is a chronological survey of seventeenth century poetry, reflects the changing spirit of the lyric from Fletcher to Pope. The author, by much research among old manuscripts, has unearthed a treasure mine of the poetry of long forgotten writers from 1621 to 1700. Many of the better known poets such as Robert Herrick appear also. "The Shining Road" A short time ago Miss Wilson received also a copy of "The Shining Road,' 'a book of verse by Isabel Wister, who was a member of the junior class of '21 here. • Miss Wister has a studio in San Diego, California, and her book of poetry is being well received by critics. "The Shining Road" and others of her poems, deal with the out-of-doors, love and memory. While a student at Normal, Miss Wister won the prize story contest conducted by the Klipsun.

There are only five teams in the league this year,, whereas , there were six teams in the circuit last year. Edwin Hunnicutt, who was unanimously chosen as secretary of the league, immediately set about to line up -a schedule which will be released shortly. There have been ho definite days set for the playing of the games, but they will probably be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Two games will be played each day. The season will not open until after the Thanksgiving vacation, when the Co-ops and the Men's Club will tangle in the first con- Itest and - the Kitchen Krew will meet the Thespians. Then in the latter part of the week the Men's Club will oppose the Kitchen Krew, while the Co-ops will have for their opponents the champions of the league last year. Much interest is being shown this year in the prospective outcome of the various' teams entered. In fact there seems to be more interest than last year. JUNIOR VARSITY WIN FIRST TILT OF YEAR By Running up High Score J-V's Show Potential Power of Other Years. WOMEN'S SOCCER HOLDS INTEREST -The Normal Junior-Varsity .opened the season Teusday evening, November 20, against the Junior Mechanics in the Class B city basketball league. The Normal team proved too much for the Mechanics and . handily defeated them by a score of 60 to 17. The ..prospects for a good J-V team this season are rather bright. Several men that were on the football squad, have turned out and have added mater 7 iaily to the J-V squad the past few days. Following is a copy of the schedule for the J-V season. Nov. 20—J. V. vs. Jr. Mechanics. Nov. 30—J. V. vs. Independents. Dec. 7—J. V. vs. Y. M. C. A. Dec. 14—J. V. vs. American Legion. Dec. 21—J. V. vs. P. S. P . L. Jan. 8—J. V. vs. School Teachers. Jan. 4—J.

Swimming Tournament for Winter Quarter Indoor sports seem craze for the present, ingr, for instance. to be the Take bowl- According to the Viking of last week, there are two teams of bowlers, whose names are very unusual. One is the team led by Mr. Carver, and is called "The Alley Rats." NotO just imagine a group of back-alley rats, with long tails, grey, slinking bodies, and padded feel, trying to bowl in a white mans league. This other team is self-styled the "Pin Pushers." The exact reason for this cognomen being adopted is not understood by the writer, since the Pushers have not been able to push their stuff fast enough to keep the Rats from over-running them. Perhaps the Pin Pushers" depended upon the speed of one Swede Anderson to push over their victories... The well-known Swede is being credited with having marvelous speed and form to his bowling. Be that as it may, bowling is becoming very popular among the retired athletes, manager and coaches, and news Writers. We hope that some of this bowling enthusiasm may be carried over into the basketball teams. The J. V.'s seem to have caught some of that spirit already. They have won their first game and it looks as if they will have very little difficulty in upholding the record of iast year's B ieague team. / / seems that the B League this year is not as strong as it Was last year. That is, if the score of the first game is any criterion for the basis of judgment. The Supers won their game from the fast and hard hitting Y. M. C. A. quintet in the Class A League. Any way you look at it, these two teams will bear watching until the City League season is over, some time in 1929. Keep your eyes open. PROMISING IN TRAINING SCHOOL Defense is Baffling to Hoopsters From Silver Beach; Offense Weak The Junior Viking 1928 basketball team suffered its first defeat of the season last Friday, when it was taken into camp by the strong Silver Beach team in a practice game held at the Normal gym. v However the Training school team showed promise of power for this season. The close checking of Sherwood Edwards and Dick. Carver, playing the guard positions, was one of the features of the game. Had the junior team as good offense as it has defense, it wouid make things rather miserable for the teams in the grade schools of Bellingham this season. It is expected that with another week or two of practice the Junior Vikings will have a more powerful offense, and will be a team of, tough customers. The forward positions are ably taken care of by Lafe Berg and Chuck Fisher, and the . center job is well filled by Phil Crimmins. The boys are looking forward to a successful season.

With a last minute spurt and accurate sliooting the Super Varsity outpointed the Y. M. C. A. five 38 to 33, Wednesday evening, Nov. 21, on the Y. M. floor. This is the first game of the class A league this year. The Supers are tied for the league leadership with the Shell.Oil quintet, who defeated the Roland Wreckers in the other game Wednesday, 4 2to 38. There is some fine material with the Supers this year. Thorsen and McClurken played with the Varsity last year while Thorlackson was with the Junior Varsity.

Dorothy Sallie, the outstanding player of the game made 4 of the 5 goals, while Ann Swanson also of the winning team, did very well. Those on the defeated team, the Puddle Jumpers, who played exceptionally well were: Elina Kelt-anen and Helen Helland. This game was a play-off because of a tie in a game ealier in the season. o — SEASON ENDS FOR VOLLEYBALL TEAMS Four intra-mural volleyball teams have been competing very strongly for the championship. The final game was played Tuesday afternoon between the Par-amiciums and the Nymphs, but the outcome was not known when the paper went to press. Before this game the Nymphs were undefeated and the Paramiciums have only been defeated once. This season the teams have played good volleyball, the outstanding individuals being; Louisette, Berg-eran, iStretchus, Berdette, Harler. and Keltenan, Net Nymphs, Austin. Sallie and Van Ess, Paramiciums and George and Bradley Servites. Both the coach and the girls have •expressed themselves as very satisfied with this years volleyball season. During the winter quarter there will be an Inter-class Swimming tournament. Class teams will be chosen and contests will ensue. Besides these meets, it is hoped, there will be demonstrations of Life Saving.. These will be presented by students taking the course which will be offered one evening of each week, next quarter. Half of the regular Thursday evening splash hour from 7 until 9 o'clock has been considered. o Through the N. W. Viking Window The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash..

Mr. Smith stated that he was pleased with the turnout and he was sure that the members of the club would do creditable work. He also, hopes to present a women's glee dub concert in the spring. -" - Of the large turnout the following were chosen: Elizabeth Brodt, -Winifred Bowles,--Berna Bumstead, Anna Keelerson, Geraldine McKee, Jessie Plasket, Frances Raggee, Harriet Sanford, Ora Smith, Lila Stevens, Louise Summer, Mildred Thomas, Katherine Bearcome, Geneva Brown, Helen Cedar, Mildred iDecker, Anna Louise Ecker, Mir-iiam Gilfilen, Vernice Glenn, Ethel Gordon, Edna Goulter, Gladys Hanson, Leone Henson, Arlene Johansson, Dorothy Legg, Mildred Peterson, M'H«.m Snyder, Elizabeth Stokes, Lenora Thompson, and Marguerite Wagner. • Mft^inn Farrington, Katherine Gass, Elizabeth Gables, Eva Jordan, Delila Korth, Bertha Scheibren, Evelyn Sears, Virginia Turner, Harriet Arntzen, Madeline Brassfield, Velma Crocker, Frances Haight, Jean Nelson, Carmella Peterson, Marian Richardson, Margaret Smith, Virginia Schmidt, Karin Strom, Phyllis Thurston, Dorothy West and Dorothy Wing. Mr. Smith said that due to the fact that a number of the men of the school had inquired as to a men's glee club, he would be glad to give time to that also. If he could get a group of about thirty-five or forty men who would be willing to give their time and were really seriously interested in the idea, he would be glad to work with them. O- ; SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB A meeting of the Social Science club was held Monday evening, November 26, in the club room of Eden's Hall. The topic presented for discussion was "Impressions from Abroad" given by Mr. Pela-glus Wiliams, of the faculty, the club sponsor. :--y.;. "•-'..' o THANKFUL THANKS Faculty Dancing Becomes Popular Tuesday evening, November 20, the first meeting of the faculty dancing class was held in the big gym and was organized as a weekly social and recreational hour for the faculty. For the first four meetings, new steps in ball room dancing will be taught by Mrs. Leota L. Tischer, local dancing teacher, and the other meetings of the group will be social if the faculty wishes to keep up its weekly recreational hour. o-—: Alkisiah Club Party The Alkisiah club started its social functions of the year with a Hallowe'en party, November 2, at the home of Mrs. John Van De Wetering, who is an alumna member. Miss Moffatt, the advisor of the club, and the new members were the guests of the evening. Numerous Hallowe'en games were played and delightful refreshments were served at the end of the evening. The house was decorated in the colors of the season. At the regular meeting of the Alkisiah club, November 14, the new members were initiated. Miss Moffatt gave a brief history of the club. All members signed for the dates on which they would give their reports on modern short story writers which are to be studied during the year. The meeting was adjourned. Ice cream bars and Indian Cashew nuts were served. . o Honor Club Chooses Seven New Members Yearly Festival of Thanks Continued from Page One) The children of the Training School participated in the annual Festival of Thankfulness today, In the Normal School Auditorium. The guests were .the parents and friends of the children. . Children from the upper grades took part in the processional with a student teacher as goddess. The goddess, dressed in Greek costume of old rose color, was stately and benign as she voiced the words of the Litany of Thanksgiving. The grapes and leaves were attended in the processional by a peasant dressed in green and brown for the grapes, and autumn leaf brown for the leaves. The dance of the grapes was the Vineyard Dance, and that of the leaves was the Autumn Leaf Frolic. Each grade made its gift to the goddess which was eymbolic of their gift of fruit and vegetables to the City Mission, and money to the milk fund of the Red Cross. The music was beautiful and of such nature as to add to the dignity and beauty of the ceremony. The story of Ruth from the Bible was dramatized by the fifth grade. The scenes were: 1. In Moab on the Road to Juda. 2. In the Barley fields of Boaz. 3. At the Gates of the City. The scenery and costumes were simple and carefully planned, showing consideration for historical details. The ceremony is very much enjoyed by the children and parents and the contributions have been gen erous each year. The spirit was the real spirit of Thankfulness for all our blessings. —o junior Music Club Music In Training School Progressing Sun-Up'To Be Given Thursday,' Next Week Progress - is being made in the Training School Music in chorus work and class instruction. The Seashore test has been employed to divide the pupils into two divisions. The upper fifty per cent are placed in one group-and the lower fifty per cent in another. It is interesting to note that the means vary little from the fifth grade people to Normal college people. Also this test will test ability in music but not in intelligence. The correlation is .23 which is low. Some of the children in the third grade have shown ability comparable to that of the average or mean of the Normal school. — o - STUDENTS DBSERVE Miss Osborn and Others Teach Interesting Lessons for Benefit Of Students of Education.

EDITORIAL (Don't Read) Conditions bad reached the point where Mr. Marquis said: "We have to have windows open in here. Why don't you girls over there bring some clothes to class, and if you're cold, you can put •em on." Dr. Miller (in psychology): "We find that girls learn to walk and talk at an earlier age than boys. But then, of course, they probably have the urge to talk earlier.

Chapter 7%j of "She Was Just an Edens Hall Girl" Little did Lynus Alonzo Kibbe, young son of his father and mother, dream, as he started on his first year in the first grade.in a little school east of Bellingham, tnta someday life would recompense him for those days bent tinder the role of teachers... No, nor did imagination write across his mind with the faintest ink (using Waterman's latest product-step into the Co-op for their ridiculously low prices) that some day the years wonld pay him for hours of toil spent after school copying on his slate from the long, dull pages of the American Mercury. Always a stickler for style, Mr. Kibbe told our reporter of his personal appearance. "I always tried to go to school dressed .neatly and completely," he said, lapsing into "rime." Mr. Kibbe drove home this last truth by reciting two or three snappy pages of the State Code. "When I was very young my hair was light. Later it became darker. Now," and right here the new library building would have rocked with laughter, "it's growing lighter again." A friend of Mr. Kibbe, a lady, hadn't seen his son, Merle, late student of the Normal, for fifteen years. At that time Merle was four or five years old, coeval -with other children of the same age, it must be added. * "My, my, how Merle has grown!" said Mr. Kibbe's friend, a lady. " O h , yes," returned Mr. Kibbe, "but you'd almost expect that in fifteen years." # » # » FOILED AGAIN ...."Don't think because I'm not giving you any questions about this poem," explained Miss Sperry, "it's fecause I can't." • * • "I was the best marksman in 17 counties, when a boy," said Mr. Bever, in Sociology, as the students busily took Botes. "Not a better man than me I" "Gunga Din," shouted Herb Fowler, as lie passed by on h'is way to get a drink. " * * * At "Disraeli," Mr. Arntzen asked Erma Littler at'the"door, if his seats •were good and close .to. the front. . "Any further down,?' was Erma's bored reply, "and you'd be in the lt;cast." '••'.. '"• '• ' ' _ . . • ' # » • » Passing Miss Wilson's auditorium class, jwe believe that such popularity must be /•deserved. That Homecoming this year, November 5 and 6, promises to be the biggest and best ever, is the opinion of Estelle Martinson, general chairman of the Homecoming reception. With a personnel consisting of Miss Edens, Mr. Kibbe, Miss Crawford, Miss Pragst, and Miss Gragg, representing the faculty and Norman Vance, Elsa Pearl, Roy Arnett, and Olive Hardan, representing the students, working under Estelle Martinson, 1926 Homecoming will be an event always to be remembered. Rally and Serpentine Friday night -will witness a pep rally in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. Speeches will be given by Coaches Carver and Keeney, and an address by President C. H. Fisher. Throughout Friday afternoon and evening, Normal girls will be on hand to meet homecoming students, coming by. train, interurban and boat. Saturday morning, registration of the Alumni will take place. Mrs. Vaugh-an, Miss Skalley, and Mr. Fowler of the faculty, will be on hand to greet them. Luncheon Olive Hardan has charge of sale of tickets for the noonday luncheons to be given at Edens Hall and Cafeteria, Saturday Different clubs will present short acts for the approval of the students, alumni, and faculty Vikings Play Cheney What promises to be one of the most interesting and thrilling games will be played Saturday afternoon. Normal plays Cheney, and both teams will be out ot win. Several striking features will be put on before and during the half intermission of the game. At 6:30 P. M. a banquet will be given in* Edens Hall and following this a Mixer will be held at the State Armory. Only Student Association ticket holders and Alumni will be admitted. A very interesting assembly program, which includes a special assembly on Wednesday, October 27, at 11 o'clock, has been scheduled for the next week. On Tuesday, at the regular assembly, the Artist Concert Bureau of Everett, will present Mrs. Edgar M. Rodgers, pianist; Mrs. Alfa Lindaas Gregerson, soprano; Mr. Rollo Mauls-by, tenor; and Miss Emily Smyth, accompanist, in a musical program. At 11 o'clock on Wednesday, Judge Ben B. 'Lindsay, judge of Denver's juvenile court, will, lecture, and Miss Brown, of the Bellingham School of Music will furnish the program on Friday. o W. A. A. Members to Climb Skyline Ridge Tomorrow -a if TO BEPHHIBI Mendelssohn's Oratorio to be Given in Middle of the Spring Quarter by Choral Society. Tomorrow a trip to Skyline is planned for the W. A. A. members. Those going are to leave the Interurban and Stage depot at 6 a. m. They will take a 38-mile ride to Glacier and then hike five miles up a steep trail to Skyline. If the weather is clear the view IB one of the best in the Northwest. The cost of the trip will be two dollars. Everyone is to furnish his own lunch. This trip is to be a one-day journey. The party of hikers will return home about seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Further notices will be shown on the W. A. A. bulletin board. FACULTY WOMEN TO HAVE SOCCER TEAM A general decoration committee will see to that the campus, school buildings, field, and Armory are decorated to the nth degree. Prizes will be awarded for the best decorated house. Bryan Hankins has been awarded the contract for the Homecoming Book, which will be sold at the minimum price of twenty-five cents. o FACULTY STAGE BLOW-OUT THIS EVENING Not to be outdone by the students, the women of the faculty are organizing a soccer team, and expect to offer some lively competition to the student teams. If enough interest is shown in Soccer, teams may be organized in other sports as well as classes in Dramatics and Folk Dancing. The Choral Society has begun the study of one of Mendelssohn's most-popular works, the oratorio "Elijah." The oratorio opens with a short recitative, Elijah's prophecy of a drought, which leads into a short sombre overture indicative of the distress which is to follow: The next scene deals with Ahab and the prophets of Baal, followed by the calm prayer of Elijah as he calls for the fire to descend upon the altar. In a dialogue between the Prophet, the People, and the Youth, Elijah bids them look towards the sea as the storm approaches and the rain descends.; - The second part opens with a brilliant soprano solo, "Hear ye, Israel," which leads into the magnificent chorus, "Be Not Afraid," Elijah complains, "O Lord, I have labored in vain," in response to which comes a contralto aria of unexcelled beauty, "O, eRst in the Lord." The next scene, which is the most dramatic in the oratorio, describes the presence of the Lord. The last scene depicts the coming of the chariot, and the whirlwind by which Elijah is caught up into heaven. The oratorio will be given by the Choral Society about the middle of the spring quarter. o NEW COURSE GIVEN IN GENERAL DRAWING New Type of Work Offered inlndustrial Arts Department Which will Interest Students. FOOTBALL SOUVENIRS TO BE BETTER, CLAIM According to Bryan Hankins, who is in charge of the work, the football souvenirs which will be sold for Homecoming, will be larger and better than, ever before. Plans for the souvenir booklets have been completed and the work will be finished in about three weeks. Individual pictures of the members of the Viking team, and group pictures of the Cheney squad will be featured in the souvenir, while a complete program of the day's events and a list of yells and songs will be included. , It is planned to have one thousand copies made, and these will be sold during the assembly hour on the Friday preceding Homecoming. o '•— Students Confess Reading Weekly Mess Occasionally Normal Gridders Undergo Strenuous Weeks Workout Previous to Saturday's Game With Yearlings.

Parker, was the play presented lay the Radford Art Players in the auditorium last Friday evening. The play, which was well received by the audience of students and townspeople, was an attempt to show a picture of the days in which Disraeli lived, and some of the racial, social, and political prejudices he fought against and conquered. The Eadford Art Players are members of the Radford Drama School of Tacoma and do their work under the direction of Miss Ruth Radford. Splendid opportunities are being offered in the new course in General Drawing in the Industrial Arts department. ' Mr. Ruckmick feels that many students would be greatly interested in this type of work if they had more knowledge of what it includes. He states that the course is not designed to show the principles of drafting, so much as it is to use drawings for general reading purposes in various industries. Drawing is very necessary to shop teachers and work that is done in this course may be utilized in their own classes.

One student will serve in this capacity for one issue, alternating with one of his classmates for each succeding issue. The duties of the assistant editor in addition to the regular prescribed work is reading copy, covering late assignments, reading proof, and helping at the printers on Thursday with makeup and head writing. It is hoped that this plan if properly conducted will bring about a better understanding, among the staff members and reporters, of the ins and outs of printing a newspaper Jessie Whitten, a staff member, with one quarter's experience, is acting as assistant editor of this issue. I n order-that the faculty advisor may gain a fair estimate of a s t u d e n t s ability in journalism, each student in the advanced class who feels equal to the occasion will be given an opportunity to edit one issue of the Weekly Messenger. This plan should create a keener interest among the staff members in the production of the Messenger, in addition to rendering them capable of editing an edition of our paper if need for such should arise. Theodore Cederberg, associate editor of the Messenger for this quarter will put out his. publication sometime in November.' WE'RE BEHIND YOU! Our-team leaves today for Seattle wthere it meets the Frosh eleven tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. Although we cannot accompany you, you may rest assured that we are backing you at the game tomorrow. Beat the Frosh. You did it last year. You can do it again. If you lose you are welcome liome. We know that you will give your all to the school. With such an attitude you cannot lose. Therefore we welcome you home as victors before you depart. Adios, Adieu, Adieum. —o - TAKE PART IN YOUR AFFAIRS The election returns of a week ago show that not all of the students took part in the fray. You evidently know by this time that it is for your own good that you take part in the various activities that pertain to you. You are doing yourself an injustice by leaving important matters for the Board of Control to decide upon. They can do it well. That however is not the-proper spirit to have. Wake up and vote when the occasion calls for it. Enter into your own affairs with the same zeal and enthusiasm that, you do into other people's business and you will not regret it The duty of the school service committee is to solve any problems that may arise in school life and to be helpful in any way possible. •: The library committee is responsible for the care and use of the magazines and books, which ,are used for supplementary work, in their room. The room committee looks after the arrangement, house keeping and decoration of the room. The members of the publicity committee, make an effort to keep in touch with the students who have graduated from the training school and are going on through high school and university. Through the bulletin board committee the pupils keep informed on current topics. The fire drill committee is composed principally of Boy Scouts. They prepared their own charts or diagrams and presented their plans to each grade. The program committee takes charge of the meeting which are held once a week and at alternate meetings they take up the principles of parliamentary law. The principal all school activity carried on by the eighth grade is the work on the Junior Messenger, which is published by the training school each semester. The staff of the Junior Messenger consists of an editor, business manager and reporter for each grade. The staff meets once a week to re- .''j port their progress. Aside from the fact that the work on the Junior Messenger furnishes a motive for written work the children learn the principles of writing the news story and editorials. The purpose of the Junior Messenger is clearly shown in the following editorial taken from an issue of that paper. "The purpose of our school paper is to create a new interest in the work "of each class. The work in the classes may have been uninteresting because some pupils did the least possible work. With this paper we hope to give all future classes a spirit of competition and interest, and to make all their activities pleasant and satisfactory. We want this paper taken home to your parents and everyone who is interested in our school. Let them know what kind of work is being done in every grade. We also want people who are interested in "this paper to compare it with older papers from time to time. We hope they will find the work of each grade improving." 1 challenge anyMember of the Phild club to explain why"an aspirant for membership in that club can be accepted just for doing ar little singing, when the Philo club is said to be a literary one... Is music literature?.. I l w i s h t o refer to the librarian. The recitdff^by Miss Virginia Strong at the assembly Tuesday morning was certainly good from two points of view: First, because it was. indisputably an excellent accomplishment, and second, because after the performance conversation among male students was more or less like this: "Gee, when she smiles, my! . . . ." No one can afford to fall asleep in the assembly with such a program as that of Tuesday... Maybe the students want some more of that kind. I call the attention of the Assembly Committee. * * * * At the end of the program in the assembly the crowd just has to help itself out.

Where is sportsmanship's place in this situation? The word sportsmanship can be well applied to nations as it can to individuals. Hence it is worth our precious time. o :wisirl0v*make::afr know ,that wherever you have been educated previously, you have been loyal to your school and will also be loyal to B. S.»N, S. We know that many of you have taken an active part in your H. S. activities and are going^ to do so in this institution. Think back for just a moment. When you entered H. S. did you not allow your grade school honors and activities to leave your mind and remain nothing more than memories? Now that you are entering college, do you not think you should do the same ? It is one way of . showing your loyalty to your alma mater. Therefore, we help you to. do so by appealing that you put away your H. S. insignias in your memories and work for one from this institution. We want our students to appear loyal to our alma mater in every way possible and are trying to remove all obstacles that do not bring out loyalty to B. S. N. S. Will we see any H.

Holly Bellingham VIRGINIA STRONG RENDERS RECITAL "THE PLAY'S THE THING" Fifty-seven companies were playing Broadway last week. Some forty-nine or fifty of those plays, if titles and reviews count for anything, the editorial staff of this journal would not permit its readers to witness. Those;that live and will be pleasantly remembered will be the dramas which present a true in-pret tion of life in which there is yet something of good, rather than those which exalt the shaded side where hope has slipped by. :. . 4 " D i s r a e l i " exemplified the type of drama which is worthy of the show. It was a play with an appeal to the intellect. The humor, largely subtle, was excellent. The plot, sustaining interest throughout, could find its equal in few cinema offerings, offerings. " D i s r a e l i " was a play of precision, wherein the leading role was drawn by one who-from exacting study and able support, gave a most satisfactory portrayal. For such plays is one grateful. Supreme entertainment is granted, and an evening given to enjoyment thereof is an eveni n g worthily spent. • The Moroni Olsen players will next week present a play w h i c h ^ o u l d c h a i m and please all.

This morning's assembly hour was given over to separate meetings of the Women's League and Men's Club, the first business gatherings of the year for these two organizations. At the Women's League meeting in the auditorium the program consisted of the presentation of officers, stunts illustrating the. work of the various committees followed. The Men's Club meeting was devoted to organization for the year, formation of a pep squad and a fire squad, and a talk by the advisor, Mr. Berg. Miss Virginia Strong, Seattle soprano, pleased the Nomral school students very much in the assembly last Tuesday. Miss Strong, who was accompanied by Miss Mar'jorie Elwell, is a graduate of Broadway High school, Seattle, and was known to many of the students here , Her program, which was much enjoyed, included: I "A Pastoral"- Veracini "Care Selve" Handel "A Mio Babbino Caro" Puccini II Aria, "Shadow Song" from "Din-orah" Meyerbeer III "A Brown Bird SingingJ Wood "One Summer Night" .7.

The mayor offered to resign and give him full rein, but Harold gracefully declined, replying that he intended to return to the Normal-by-the- Sea and assist his teammates to many more victories. * * * * Lelahd Shelton and Everett Baxter, tackle and guard, respectively, probably played the best games of their careers Saturday... Time after time they halted the Seattle backs in their tracks, often tossing . them back for a loss.

Stick was also a demon on defense, knocking down many passes, with which the Collegians attempted to score in the latter part of the game. Soccer Has Large Following, While Hockey, Volley Ball, and Swimming Are Popular. Coach Carver's Men Too Strong for Smaller Opponents From Seattle. Vikings Show Improvement Since St. Martin Game. The Line Especially Giving Fast Backfield Good Support. ELLENSBURG LOOMS THROUGH SURPRISE OF FROSH At the Y. W. C. A. meeting, held Thursday afternoon, October 14, Mrs. George McL. Miller was the speaker. Grace Dohner, who was in charge of the meeting, welcomed the new members and. visitors. Ruth Newell contributed to the meeting with a touching solo. The meeting this week was conducted by Helen-Reynolds, with Miss Louise Rinnel, pastor of the Nazarene, giving the talk to the girls. "More girls out for some form of recreation," has been the aim of the Physical Education Department in offering to women students of this school such a splendid variety of sports. It begins to look as though this aim is to be fully realized this fall,! as every turnout adds to the number participating. Altogether, at the last count, there were 214 girls taking part in athletics as compared with 175 of last week. If this continues it may be necessary to give our football team a vacation in order that we- may have sufficient space for our games. Soccer seems to be drawing the largest number of followers, and because of the popularity of this game it has been necessary to divide the class into two sections, one group under Miss Kellar, meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays, another under Miss Weythman, meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Irene Harris has been chosen manager of the Freshman group for soccer which meets, on Monday and Wednesday. Neva Cays is the Sophomore manager for this section. In the Tuesday, Thursday section, Gladys Green is Freshman manager, Clara Liter is Sophomore manager. The Hockey managers, Anna Lund, and Phyllis Crabill, report a number of new members in their group. So far only the fundamentals of • the game have been given; the teams are to be chosen in the near future. Volley Ball, which is played in the big gym, is also very popular, there being a number of experienced players turning out for this game. The Freshmen manager is Golda Abel; Sophomore, Elizabeth Scott. Horses will be brought to the school again this week and those wishing to ride may sign up on the Athletic bulletin board sometime before one o'clock, on Friday. A number of girls have been inquiring as to the ecreation hours for swimming at the Y. The regular Y. W. C. A. recreation hours are on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday from 7 to 9. Saturday from 2 to 4 the pool is open to children. Performing in championship style, a powerful Viking football squad pushed the Seattle College Panthers all over the Waldo Mud Flats, incidentally winning a football game 27- 0. Playing a much .improved brand of football the Carverites had things practically their own way. The scoring started three minutes after the kickoff, when the Normal-ites after blocking a punt carried the ball straight to the Panther goal,, Odell putting it over. Thereafter the outcome was never in doubt. The lighter Seattle College team was no match for the Vikings. Their line could not hold back the Normal forward men with the result that the Panther backfield with its famous Notre Dame shift was powerless, never being able to get started. Thorson Plays Great Game. The Viking line looked much better than last week, opening holes whenever wanted. On defense they were impregnable. "Docie" Thorson showed up well, smearing every play that came his way. The backfield continued to live up to expectations. A new find was uncovered in Hawkings, who replaced Seymour at full. Showing adeptness at picking holes, he carried the ball a major part of the time he played, scoring both touchdowns made in the third quarter. Myron Estill, who took over the quarter reins for a while, played a heady game. With several second string men in the line-up he demonstrated his ability by piloting the teami to their two touchdowns in the last half. Ray Odell was his usual self. The doughty captain got loose for a fifty-yard run which would have been another touchdown had not one of his team mates been offside. Carver Uses Reserves. In the second half, Coach Carver used a number of his reserves who, certainly played a good game. The Vikings scored early in the third period. Odells5 kickoff veered to the side and Edmundson, who replaced Drake at end, beat the ball, caught it, and kept on going until tackled deep in the Panthers' lair. One man, at least, had learned something about on side kicks from St. Martin's. With Hawkings making big gains through the line, it was an easy matter to force a touchdown. Hawkings again scoring with Odell converting. The last quarter was scoreless. Carver put back in his first string men, who were unable to get warmed up enough to score. Acting what they were, a really strong team, the Vikings played a creditable game. Had St. Martin's been their opponents again, the tables no doubt would have been turned from last week's game.

(Continued from Page One) ONE STUDENT GIVES HIS DDEA OF UTOPIA Washington backfield will need much endurance to crash through the line. The ends, Thorsen, Edmundson, Drake and Brown, have improved their tackling after much dummy and scrimmage practice and seem a strong quartet of wing-men. The line is strong, but it is the backfield which brings thrills to the hearts of many loyal fans with its wonderful playing. Hawkings, with his line plunging ability, is expected to prove a valuable sub to Russ Seymour at full. Ray Odell, Ted Clark, and Lyman Stickney, three of the best halves in Normal uniforms in recent years, completely dazzled the second team with their open field and off tackle running. Estill, a dependable man and sure tackier, will handle the quarterback job left vacant through Boyd Staggs' ineligibility. The teams are to be guests of the University at its afternoon game in the Stadium with W. S. C.

Private Peat, who was severely wounded on the. battlefields of Prance during the World War is an Experienced and; well informed lec-turor, having spoken in practically «very country in the world. Although having auspiciously served Ms country in the World War, Private Peat does not believe in warfare as a means of adjusting differences, but points to more sane and feasible methods ' Of settling trying situations and insuring per-manent peace. In his frank, challenging address, "The Inexcusable Lie," he brings out ifce fact that from a child's earliest period of perception and understanding, he is taught, quite unconsciously l gt;y his elders. to fightY that ma^y of his playthings and his childish games •fOBter the love of battle; that school books and other books of lt; gt;hildhood glorify- war, dwell at length on its thrills and conquests, but show none of its terrible consequences. ; Private Peat's plea" to the people is that history be presented to children during their impressionable years of Childhood in such a manner that war will be stripped of its illusions and national hatred will be eliminated. - "'-••"- • .-.".The noted lecturer, soldier ahd traveler, appeared in fBellingham several years ago on the ElliBon- Wliite Chautauqua platform.

Students fa^ portant and unimportant, dumb arid not so dumb, keep up one continual clamoring about our spirit and what should be done about it.

In fact, when it comes to "school spirit," we simply aren't thereV Our yelling is terrible, we don't support pur teams, and so on—-but whyenumerate our weaknesses? They are all too prominent as it is. ; After ..all this talk has been scattered around, and so many words have been altogetherwasted, isn't it time that someone tried to find what this school spirit really is? And do we want what we think we want? And when we get it, will it be worthwhile, after all? Suppose, just suppose, that this thing which was so much desired wasn't absolutely necessary to a school; was just some abstract thing to talk about and hope for; was something we didn't altogether understand. Suppose, furthermore, that what we called school spirit was basecbonly on appearances, on outward criterea. Then suppose once more- suppose that school spirit—-real school spirit—was something that couldn't be easily measured. It didn't show itself in periodic outbursts; it wasn't just pep and enthusiasm. It was simply an inward attitude or feeling which had a constant influence on our behavior,. What some of us thought was school spirit was of little or no importance and was worthless; real school spirit was much deeper and had a greater significance. It embodied a willingness to work, to support our school's enterprises, to be of some service to those about us. Suppose all of this were true. What a great calamity it would be! And what a great amount of hot air would have been wasted. High Gosf Of College Texts Is Explained By Co-op Management High Printing; Cost Because of ^ Small Production, Sturdy Binding for Long Use, Varied Books for Different Schools All Raise Expenses. By VERNON V I NE "Robber! Thief! I want my returns! Robber!" just These and many other remarks of a derogatory character are either hurled at or thought of about the directors of. the ^Students' Co-Op about the time books are turned in or new ones are purchased. When the sheckles start to • roll out at the rate of five dollars /per book, with three books to be had, then the laughs just arne't. Still, the conditions concerning the purchase and sale of textbooks under the conditions which the Co-op must operate are seldom understood. In an advertisement published in this issue of the Messenger, three reasons why textbooks are high are given. These reasons, when subjected to scrutiny, are seen to be applicable to the case of the student book store in this school without change. Text books are high • in the first place because they rank along with antiques, stamps and coiris,and other things, that is —thereare few: of them. Books/being printed .matter, naturally cost more per unit for---small quantities* .than for large ones. It is upon, the truth of this contention that such firms as P. W. Woplworth, J. C. Penney and Piggly Wiggly have succeeded. Mass production is the thing which makes money.; Massproduction in textfcooks is impossible or.; impractical however, for the courses in almost every university or normals are so different that the same book could not be used in all cases. r Therefore, while in one school a hundred-of the books may be usej, in another the same book may be^kept.on the shelves of the library ibr casual' reference only. / The .use of the same-text-books in but a few colleges, comparatively speaking, is caused by the danger of (Continued,onPage Two) LIBRARY SCAFFOLDING GOES . . . • \ .

"It is not necessary to know anything about that which you criticize ; you mustn't take a stand in favor of existing institutions of the : school. Qualified or hot; in your campaign speech, be against things as they: are, criticize—-and be elected," Thus runs the rule for success. Follow it, and you cannot fail. • ; The last Students' Association election only served to emphasize this point. It brought out only more clearly what has been prevalent throughout this school year. Numerous candidates for office have stood before the students in assembly, have made foolish campaign speeches without end, have said either not enough, or, far worse, top much. They have spoken neither wisely nor well. They have harangued and have stood for things about which they will have nothing to say if elected, and far less than that, if defeated. And all to what avail? It has come to pass that he who talks the longest and says the least of real worth will surely be successful. ' We have had in the neighborhood of half a dozen school elections since the opening of the fall quarter. Approximately twenty candidates have been passed upon. All of them have made short talks just before the actual voting has taken place. They have not said much—but why worry.! When the elections are over, what they have said will.mean little, if anything. A member of the Board of Control is just one out of seven. What can he accomplish, especially when many of the planks in his platform have no relevancy to Students* Association affairs? The Messenger, the manner of financing the Klipsun, our school spirit, Sunday tennis regulations, the Board of Control itself—-in short, :'"most.of our existing institutions have all met either with destructive criticism; ©reconstructive criticism of very little worth. If i t is obvious that what a candidate says is impractical or contrary to fa^,.what are we going to dp? : If past experience has proved that fee Klipsun cannot be financed except by a student levy, if the Messenger may be compared without discredit to any teacher's college newspaperin the country, if the Board does publish all of its business that is of any interest to the students in general, if what any candidate says is really untrue, there is only one thing to do: that is, to defeat him. If we are to be led Well, those who lead must be qualified to lead. They have a knowledge of what has gone on in the past. They must think, then talk or act. We must admit that things about us are hot in such bad shape as they are made out to be. Those who are doing are better qualified to set standards than those who only talk. Then why not use our better judgment whenever, in the future, we are called upon to exercise our privilege to vote, whether it be here in school or elsewhere. And he who critizes endlessly is not likely to be the most successful leader (or representative), when he does attain a position of responsibility. •"•:..•':..•.'•• lt;• • • _ _ ! : o — IS T H E MESSENGER WORTHWHILE ? Among other things, the Messenger has come in for its share of criticism lately. Some think that it is too "high-schoolish", others that it needs more life, still others that it doesn't contain any news. In_ answer to those critics, whom we strongly suspect are just confirmed "kickers", we say this: "Comparison of the Messenger with any one of numerous teacher's college and normal school newspapers (which we receive weekly from all over the dear old United States), shows that it is among the very test." .'. We are taking this opportunity to invite any students who have doubts about this matter to visit the Messenger office and make the comparison hemselves. We believe that the Messengr is a good college paper.- It attempts to strike a happy medium when it comes to so-called "heavy" and "light" material. It prints, and in good, form, all the news of general interest to students of this school. It contains features and editorials that are worthwhile. It is- well made up. Arid, even though it may not be perfect, we are proud of it. If all this is not patting ourselves on the back too much, we wish to say again: .... . "The Messenger is a good college paper. Comparisons prove it." ^Abbve,/folks, is••a.',phbtoT:bf^twd^bf our most popular stewdents demonstrating the^iiew varsity, swag.;.; We understand this will be the vogue in this institution since .the adoption of the disciplinary 'action by the faculty members after the '"Collegiate Tangle" of last quarter was pulled.

Of course it is only natural that he should step on the young lady's feet occasionally in order to convince tier that he is really in existence. You can readily see how pleased the young dancers are with this new style, however by the broad smile on the damsel's face and the smile underneath the mask of the male. / We: stop^on;!.^ %"lge' the Mother day and watched the gOT •ling water^ piers,; and gt;vth ':•';-;:We ico^dh't; help; wo 'ies^ersVi/weyidbn'tcCi'stand^ like "the bridge with1 its'';/.wpbden'Vpiers,''-.''andL let the years - rush by and: the hew ideas The main and most prominent; cause / ',':•.'.;;;.' ."f-bf\diyprce':is; manage Ninety per cent of the football fa.; lide alohgdownthe: stream, talitiee1; of'• the"; season of 1927 -were caused from participants chewing to'.'

Fisher and Thai will undoubtedly make the tennis team, as they have thus-far won every match easily, and as they are. lettermeh of last year. Fisher plays a consistent type of tennis with his drives and cuts hitting just inside of-the back line. Thai has a neat forehand and backhand drive that puzzles his opposition.

The afternoon workout was spent in several laps around the oval at a fast clip and then to the showers., •.•;•'. »:; A picture was taken of the squad for the Klipsun, and a hard workout for all the men followed the posing. Coach Carver seems well pleased with his men a t this stage of the season and chances to cop the Tri- Normal meet seem excellent. Both Ellensburg and Cheney are totally unknown quantities at this stage of affairs, but as Viking athletes now are far superior to last year's title-holding outfit, the locals should walk off; with the honors. Although weak in the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, and the hurdles, Coach Carver's 1928 model track team is unusually good in other events.; Five letter-winners of former years are leading the pack of aspiring heroes, which' includes numerous xinkhowns and young hopefuls. Earl Hemmi and Bob Cox are leading the sprinters, and should give Normal the strongest combination in the.- short runs that it • has had in years. Both are exceptionally fast men and have had much experience. Bill Reeves and Ben Hamilton in the 440-yard dash, Frank Gallenger in the half mile, .Tinval Brinkman in the mile, and Ray Jewell, in the longer runs, all look good for plenty of points during the season. Ray Bright also is rounding into good form. Roy Arnett, last year's best discus hurler, and Ray. Jewell, in the shot, are the only sure point-getters in the field events, according to present indications, excluding of course "Chuck" Erickson, who can't be prevented from taking first in the javelin in every meet, except by a broken arm, appendicitis, blindness, or some such infirmity. ;; .Otto^/K^mmjefich;/ famous German distance swimmerjy finished the; Iong-J est; r^orded; continuous swim in hii-maii ;':^nal8^ifecehtly;';;'iBiicl' also outlasted, a Galifbrnia sea lion/when; he stayed/ in/ the / water.'; forty^six hours, which is -fourteen hours longer than the record recently set at : Miami Beach,/Fla-i/ by Mrs..

The costume idea struck home, and everybody •was happy. I t has been suggested that since the costume idea is such a successful one, that the Spring dance, which crowns the Campus Day festivities, take the form of an all-school-all-alumni masquerade. Masquerades, if they are properly planned, can be made very fantastic affairs. There is always much of color and of gaiety, what with a crepe-paper Romeo dancing with a cheese-cloth Pierette, while a synthetic Pierrot sulks under a tinfoil moon or jealously amuses a cretonne Juliet. There are always clowns and pirates, yokels and city-slickers, and Wild Men from Borneo. And if it is a well-regulated masquerade, Jo- Jo* may be there. But whosoever attends, costume affairs are always long anticipated and long-remembered, and the present writer, your humble servant, adds his name to the list of those who would like to see an all school masquerade dance presented. (*Jo-Jo is t he dog-faced boy who broke into white lights by running around the world-three times and then jumping sixty feet into a glass of buttermilk.—Editor.) W.S.N.S. Rumor has it that, in order to compensate for t h e Rec. hour, which never came a week ago, that a double Rec. hour will be held some week-end. The "double Rec hour" will be held in the evening. These affairs have been held before, and with great success. —W.S.N.S.— Last year, Normal built three new tennis courts. I t already had three tennis courts, which made six altogether, if we are to believe reliable authority. Then, in order to make ready for play on the three new tennis courts, the nets were removed from the three old tennis courts, which left us just where we were when we started. What certain individuals are trying to figure out is, now that we are where we are, where are we? —W.S.N.S.— The Scribes' Club got under way last week, and bids fair to bring forth again, "bigger and better than ever before," the Red Arrow. The Red Arrow, in the past, has been a compliment to the institution, and has furnished the various individuals who contributed,, with a medium for the expression of beauty and comedy as they see it. The Red Arrow should be encouraged, and should represent the fin- ; est of the creative artistry of the school. One of the strongest criticisms that can be directed against a school with a too-heavy emphasis on the objective methods of instruction, is that it gives the student some understanding of the beauty which other artists have created, without developing in him whatever latent powers of interpretation he may possess. « YE PROF'S DIARY Sumerz kum akordyng tem thu way ower teniz kourtz look.

AS LATE CONTEST IS CLi Manuscripts Have Not Yet Been Judged; Awards Will Depend On Quality and Suitability of Work. 18 COMPLETE SONGS IN Contest Conducted In Hopes That Song Might Be Found to Typify Spirit of Bellingham Normal. The song contest came to a close last week when a veritable downpour of original songs came tumbling in a t t he last moment upon the committee in charge. Eighteen complete manuscripts have been received. Judging has not yet taken place as a short time must be set aside to allow' those manuscripts which might be in transit to arrive before the actual judging commences. The judges, who are Harold B. Smith, Music department; H. E. Fowler, English department; Albert Booman, president Alumni Association; Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Belling-ham Women's Music Club; President C. H. Fisher; one member of the B. S. N. S. student body; and one member of the Board of Control, will plan in detail, specific criteria for judging, and thet exact manner in which they will go about it. Slips will be pasted over the names of music composers and word writers, and each song will be given a number, so that judgment will depend entirely upon the quality and suitableness of the songs submitted. Names of all contributors, as well as the prize winners, will be published later after the final decisions have been made. In the event that a suitable song is not submitted the Committee of Judges reserve the right to postpone the awarding of prizes and advise continuation of the contest. However, with as many contributions as have ben turned in, it is hardly likely that this privilege will be exercised. The first prize for t he best words and music will be forty dollars, for the second best, twenty dollars, and ten dollars for the third best. This song contest has been conducted for the past year in the hopes that a song might be com- THIRTY GIRLS SIGNED... . UP TO GO TO SINCLAIR ISLAND ON SATURDAY Thirty girls will leave tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, on the mail boat, from the Quackenbush dock, for Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair island, where they will participate in a work-day to put t he lodge in order for the coming season. All faculty members and women students are eligible to go, but only the first thirty signed up can be taken. Over at the lodge the girls plan to do big things under the leadership of Mr. George Dach, head gardener. There will be a general cleaning up of the grounds and the cabin, and possibly some work on building a fireplace and a fence around the property. Working will be predominant, but fun and food will have their places and the trip looks like one of t he best of t he Saturday affairs, according to Marjorie Coventon, general chairman of the lodge committee. OREGON NORMAL TO DEBATE TEAM HERE Ray Craft and Lyle Summers to Battle for Affirmative, While Mr. Strothers Is Critic Judge. MAUD SCHEERER Drama Recitalist . SCHEERER TO BE IN TWO ASSEMBLIES GIVEN NEXT WEEK Miss Maud Scheerer To Present Group of. "Dramatic Recreations" In a Special Assembly Monday. / The last two weeks nave been very busy and rather discouraging ones for the debate teams. Here are some recent debate decisions and facts. February 25, Helen Fitzwater and Lois Thomson defeated the College of Puget Sound negative team. February 26, Alice Burke and Louise Lilienthal, negative team, lost a decision to the College of Puget Sound, at Tacoma. February 27, the Women's affirmative team lost to the Pacific Lutheran College, at Tacoma. February 28, the Women's negative team and the Men's affirmative team went to Seattle and debated the Seattle Pacific College. In the former case the Normal team lost, but the men won to even things up. Carl Windesheim, coach of the negative teams at the University of Washington, was the critic judge at, the men's debate. March 3, the Women's negative posed which would typify the truev team won over the Pacific Lutheran spirit of the Normal By the Sea. Last year Gay Springsteel was appointed by t he Board of Control as chairman of the song contest committee. His duties were taken over this year by Edith Dyer, with Jean Philippi, Frances Young, and Ethel Boynton, as assistants. Mr. Ruck-mick is faculty adviser. BAND TO FEATURE FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY The Normal Pep Band, under the leadership of Clarence Thue, will present another of its well-liked assembly programs on next Friday, March 14. The Pep Band has never failed, since its first organization, to present an attractive and effective recital before the student body, upon any occasion on which it appeared, and i t is certain that next Friday's presentation will not be an exception. Definite plans for the program have not been fully formulated, but Clarence Thue has completed the arrangement of several new selections for the band, and a number of special acts, to be presented between band selections, are being rehearsed. -. : ;—O FISHER TO RETURN President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal School, is expected to return Sunday from the East, where he went a few weeks ago to attend edu-= cational meetings in Atlantic, City and conferences of President Hoover's child health commission, in Washington, D. C. He also' planned to go to New York City. \ College, here. The judges were Miss Madge Ware, principal of the Washington school; Miss Mary Muir, instructor of English at Washington High school, and Mrs. Sue Boynton. March 4, the Men's team of t he Normal and the Pacific Lutheran College debated a dual debate, the school's affirmative teams traveling. The Lutheran College won both decisions. Judges for the debate here on the above date, were W. M. Shep-hard, of Whatcom High school; Olaf Strowme, of Fairhaven High school, and Judge Olsen. Monday, March 10, Ray Craft and Lyle Summers, affirmative team, will meet the Oregon State Normal here at 7:30. The critic judge at this time will probably be Charles Strothers, who is a coach and instructor at the University of Washington, and was for three years a member of the Varsity team. After the debate, Mr. Strothers will explain the decision. March 12 is the date of another dual debate, this time with the College of Puget Sound, the negative teams of schools traveling. Therefore, Quentin Quick and John Thorpe will debate in Tacoma, while Roger Reid and Lyle Summers will debate here. MISS SPERRY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT CLUB MEETING Presenting groups of "dramatic r e creations," the term she applies to her clever method of interpreting short plays as she reads them, Maud Scheerer will entertain.in a special assembly,at 11 o'clock next Monday morning, as well as in the regular assembly on Tuesday. She will also give a talk before the Faculty Forum on the subject, "Drama as a World Force," using the play, "Journey's End" as an illustration, and it is expected that she will visit some of the Normal's speech classes during the time in which ,she will be here. Balanced Programs In Monday morning's program, it is expected that she will read "High Lights of the Season," part of t he "Street Scene" and the "Criminal Code." Since these plays are all of a more or less serious motif, she may insert some short numbers of a lighter nature between them by way of attaining a program of better balance. She has expressed her desire to present "The Skin ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 7 - Page 2 ---------- p^pipi^vif jg|f WA^iNGTO^ STATE N $$ ? i'ii. o Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 IKiHg Published weekly by.

W e have found this fact so evident, that it has become a problem which we solved by printing a six-page paper for our extra material. Due to our "go-getter" advertising manager, the advertising section has been increasing weekly. True, we have just as much material for publication, but no space in which it put it. Consequently, we have been accumulating a host of timeless features and literary efforts from the pens of our aspiring cub journalists. We have heard complaints because the "Favorite Column was left out," or perhaps the detailed part of a news story found, its way to the wastebasket. We, too, have been disappointed in not being able to print this copy, but you know as well as we do, that a balloon can only be inflated just so far, and that's that. News that comes into the office early in the week is printed first (providing it is printable), aad when the required number of inches of type is set up by the linotype operator, it is just a waste of time and money to set late copy, even if it is "good." Then another most discouraging difficulty for the editorial side of The Viking is faced when all the copy is set up, ready to take its place in the steel forms that hold it on the press and a three-column, eight-inch adv. finds its way into the sheets of our paper. Then comes the frantic scramble to "cut" stories down to the most important element, with no developments so the important news will not be omitted and, perhaps, the favorite feature is set aside, with a sigh, for some future issue. Now the "future" issue has arrived. We are house-cleaning today, and giving our subscribers the benefit of the "literary masterpieces" of some of your journalistic servants. o No longer will our Song Contest officials be soulfully singing, "Where is the soag of songs for me?"—the contest has ended—it can't be extended—- all's well that ends well. T H E O U T S T A N D I N G C O M E D Y O F I R I SH LIFE. "The Whiteheaded Boy," by Lennox Robinson, has been chosen for production by the Normal Drama Club, next Thursday and Friday, as an outstanding example of modern Irish comedy. This play was first done in an Irish theatre in 1916, when it was presented in the famous Abbey Theatre, in Dublin, by an Irish cast. In 1921 it was given its first American showing at Henry Miller's Theatre, in New ./fork, with several of the Irish players in their original roles. Since that time it has become a permanent success of the Little Theatre groups throughout the country. While this merry drama is distinctly Irish in speech and situation it is truly a play of the international theatre, for its appeal is universal. The : play is one of the finest examples in pure realism in the drama; for all the incidents in it are of such common stuff as daily life itself. "The strength of this play," says Ernest Boyd, dramatic critic, "undoubtedly lies in the perfect combination of form and content, and the natural unrestricted drollery of speech combined with the subject, which develops realistically and logically, yet whose humor is that of the cumulative effect. There is not a deliberately manufactured phrase in it; not one situation that is forced or stagey, for the whole comedy arises out of the relations 'which inevitably establish themselves between the characters." It is with some satisfaction that the Drama Club offers this story as gt; notable example of how the doings of a little neighborhood can be invested with interest and charm. The Drama Club, under the direction of Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, has been careful to preserve the full-bodied richness of this comedy by never letting it fall into knock-about-farce, nor into the serious note of the problem play. The play is costing only twenty-five cents for reserved seats for students, and if even the twenty-five cents are unavailable, student body tickets will admit to the unreserved section. No one should miss this comedy.

It is as though an old tradition, such as "The Knoll" or "Rec Hour" had suddenly ceased to be; and we feel the loss. Why not save us this anguish by offering a prize for the best original dirge to be used for those judges who succumb while listening to the song entries? But enough of art; let's look at the political situation: Cyrus Toodle, noted man about the campus, has announced his candidacy for the next office which becomes vacant. He is running on a reform ticket, and will be known as the "people's candidate". Mr. Toodle has ever been the champion of the weak and oppressed, and has a large following. When interviewed yesterday by reporters, Mr. Toodle in his own modest and charming way, at first said that he was a man of few words and much action, and had nothing to say. Later, however, he relented and made the following statement to the press:' "Few people realize the need for drastic reforms in our school... We go along from day to day little dreaming that we are subject to a lot of downright injustices, and that every day we tolerate them they tighten their hold on our liberty. There is a crying need for a man in office who is aware., of., these things and willing to do something about it... That man, my friend, is Cyrus J. Toodle. Elect me and your troubles are over."

This test was not given in order that the spelling of the students in the three Normal schools might be compared. There are several reasons why this is not a good test for that purpose. It. is not safe, therefore, to assume that students in any one of the three schools are better or poorer spellers than those in the other two Normal schools.

After the assembly concert the other day we heard quite a few vague remarks regarding the nature of the cello. People seem to have extremely indefinite ideas about the blooming thing. Since our purpose is to serve society, we went delving through various musical works in the library, and uncovered the following interesting work on the.cello: —o— "The violincello, or 'cello, as it is called by those people sufficiently familiar with it to be contemptuous of it, is a oiolin which has been allowed to remain on the tree long past ripeness before it is picked off and prepared for market. It is a large, unwieldly bit of cabinet Work capable of generating very doleful sounds on occasion. "Different people can elicit different kinds of tone from the 'cello. One style sounds like a cow down a well. The other is unprintable. " 'Cello parts are Written in bass, tenor and treble clef. The notes in the latter department are 'way up near the bridge, but sound like a canary bird with the laryngitis. The so-called tenor clef is merely played a fifth higher than the bass, thus avoiding a flock of telegraph poles insulated with quarter notes. "The chief requirements of a 'cello player areli strong right arm and wrist, bowlegs, and unlimited nerve. On the 'cello more than on any other bowed instrument vibrato is constantly used. Hence the 'cellist with Si. Vitus dance is at a considerable advantage." There you have it all in a nutshell.

BOB WALTERS IS EDITOR Buying of Books Not Advised but Curriculum Committee Has List of Three Books Recommended. Owing to a misunderstanding regarding the soliciting for book subscriptions, by a salesman, Dr. Irving E. Miller, chairman of the curriculum committee, explained the whole situation in assembly and to the: Viking reporter in an interview so that the students will understand the protection given them, by faculty committees. Several years ago, high powered salesmen, with a good line of talk and a worthless of books invaded the Campus. They signed up many students, and even a number of the faculty. At a faculty meeting,'attention was brought to this and it was decided that a committee should be appointed. This committee would look over any book to be sold and if they were of any value to students they would be placed on the approved list. If the committee failed to approve the book, then the agents were not permitted to solicit subscriptions from students or faculty Later the committee approval work fell into the hands of the Curriculum committee and there is handled at the present time. There are three books at the present that are on the approved list, namely, The World Book, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia and the Classroom Teacher . These books may be displayed in the halls, or to the students personally, with the approval of the committee, but no one is urged or advised to buy them. In other words these faculty signatures only mean that as a source for information in the teaching work these books are good and not worthless. i The faculty evaluation of these books is based on the realization that teachers do need reference books in their work. Many communities, or rather school officials, do not furnish material for any reference sources. Therefore, these books are needed. In places where adequate reference books are on hand for the instructors, these are not needed, nor are they needed here at Normal. Nevertheless, the information contained within those that are approved, is not erroneous or worthless. o—_ A Red Arrow will be published! This literary magazine is usually issued two or three times a year by the Scribes club of the Normal, which is an organization made up of students interested in writing for art's sake. The publication this year, will be put out by a selected group of students organized alone for the purpose of issuing a Red Arrow, according to Bob Walters, editor of the forthcoming number. This selected group has not yet been picked and no definite organization wil be formed until the material sent in has been looked over as to quality, originality and interest of writers.a Everyone in the school, student or faculty member, is invited and urged to send in the efforts his inspirations may lead him to write. From these authors will be picked the staff for the magazine- Bob Walters, Editor The editorial staff is not yet complete but a foundation has been laid. Bob Walters will be editor, assisted by Dolly Anderson and Arden Ben-thien. Another assistant editor will be chosen soon, also a business manager. Herbert E. Fowler is the faculty adviser for the magazine. Work has already been started on the publication and a red "Red Arrow" should be out for the school's approval (or disapproval) by the middle of next quarter. Linoleum Cuts to be Used The magazine will carry out a spring idea and will be made more colorful by small linoleum cuts throughout the magazine. The make-up of the magazine has been outlined and will have twenty-four pages of short stories, poetry, and what have you? If this issue proves to be successful, a following number may be published during the summer quarter. Graduate students who were former members of the Red Arrow staffs, have been asked to send in contributions so that this new Red Arrow may not be a stranger to its readers.

Wednesday afternoon; the old greenhouse that was tacked onto the southern end of the gym was torn down and the rubbish hauled away. Men have beenlbusy off and on during the winter, clearing the site of our future athletic stdium. Mr. Dack reports that he is almost ready for the grading there. Some of the shrubs and flowers have been damaged severely by the frost, due to the fact that they were unprotected by any snow when the cold spell came. With the continuance of the present warm weather the shrubs and plants that survived will commence to grow and one will soon be able to tell just which plants are alike and which need coaxing. Mr. Dack says that the new shrubs planted last Fall around the library are doing fine, but that some people are careless in walking about them. o LEVIENNE CHARMS STUDENT AUDIENCE BOOK REVIEW He Displayed Fine Tone, Technique, and Marvelous Interpretation of Varied Classical Selections.

She has taught in Alaska for the last 15 years and spent three years at Wainwright, 100 miles across trackless tundra and frozen ocean from Point Barrow, the nearest white post. The years were full of interest for her dogteam and reindeer rides, trips miles out on the frozen ocean to whaling camps or walrus killings, watching the sun circle the horizon three months without setting, then leaving two months of total darkness. Her life there was full of variety, tragedy, and pathos; but there was also the •feeling of satisfaction that she was doing a little bit to relieve suffering and to fit the simple, childlike peopl eto meet the hardships and privations. There was no time for her to be J lonesome, despite the fact that there I were only four mails a year and the only direct communication with (the outside world was through the arrival of the freight boat each summer, with the food supply for another year. She was fully occupied in teaching a roomful of pupils, ranging from 5 to 45 years of age, supervising the mining of coal to be shipped to other schools and paying for all this coal in barter supplies. She was also'doing medical work, holding religious services, conducting a post-office, organizing and running a cooperative store for the natives, supervising and visiting three reindeer herds and acting as adviser to some 200 natives.

John Hopper accompanied him on the piano. Mr. Levienne has been repeatedly praised for his tone, his technique, and his marvelous interpretive gifts. The numbers which he played here displayed all of these remarkable characteristics. In the first group of selections were listed "Adagio From Sonata," by P. Locatelly, a number which the artist played so exquisitely that he at once won his auditor's favor and attention; the lovely "Serenade," from Cassado, and Popper's quick, lively, and vigorous "Tarantelle." The ever-popular VPrelude G Major," by Rachmaninoff, was the first selection in group two. Following it came Cassella's "Chanson Napoli-taine," a composition which seemed especially to appeal to the audience. v"The Fountain," by Davidoff, which combines a gay, sparkling movement with a slow, and rather sedate motion, was also a well-liked number. "Andantino" by Martini, is a beautiful piece of music in itself, but Levienne's interpretation made it even more a living thing of beauty. Popper's "Hungarian Rhapsody" was the concluding number on the program. The recital was one of the best heard here in some time, and throughout Mr. Levienne fulfilled all of the compliments which have been heaped upon him. —: o GRAPHS KEPT BY STUDENTS SHOW GAIN IN INCHES The pernicious influence of the research bureau has extended to The Viking's office.

In the hotbed of basketball, where the caliber of the game provides the keenest of competition all season, little Butler University has sprung into National prominence. Last Winter, with a lanky lad named Hilde-brand always in the foreground, the Hoosier team was victorious in all but one game. Among their victims were such worthy opponents as Notre Dame, Illinois Pittsburgh, Purdue, North Carolina and Missouri, to say nothing- of the many clever fives in the State of Indiana. When the Washington shell pulls down the Hudson in June, Captain Davis will be handling the bow oar, which post he has had for two years in the Poughkeepsie regatta and the colorful California-Washington race. In the words of his coach, Al Ul-brickson, "Davis has more on the oar than any bowsmari I've seen . . . and he is the lightest man hi our boat, weighing only 160 pounds." The captain of the Northwestern aquatic team, Al Schwartz, has cracked every National intercollegiate record in the free style events. He holds claim to the fastest marks in the forty and fifty-yard dashes and the hundred, two-twenty and four-forty free style swims. And yet the Purple natator cannot follow the diet regulations prescribed by Coach Tom Robinson for the other men on the squad. With Coach Jimmy Phelan at the University of Washington comes hard work, and with the aid of several new understudies, has already issued a call for Spring football, in which the new staff is hard at work breaking down the Bagshaw style of play and building up Knute Rock-nes, Notre Dame's system. The n5w men Coach Phelan has obtained, are Dan Lamont, line coach, and Ed Collins, end coach, both former Notre Dame players. Too much can be expected of the new staff this year, as it takes years to build up a new system, but if they win just a percentage of their games we will be satisfied.

Yes, Intramural baseball will soon be starting. At the beginning of next quarter, slips will be placed on the bulletin board in the men's athletic office, for those who wish to sign up to play Intra-mural baseball. There will be a chance for club teams and for independent teams. Coach Royal E. (Pop) Gunn has charge of the proceedings. He expects to have at least four teams in the race. Some of the rules governing the series, are: Varsity team members will be eligible to play; no-pitcher will be allowed to pitch more than four innings. This will tend to eliminate shut-out games. Members of each team will have to be signed up at least a week before they will be eligible to play. As soon as the teams have signed up and organized, the schedule will be made out and drawings will be made. The games will probably be of one series and the play-offs will be shortly before the end of Spring quarter.

With the coming of warmer days, Viking trackmen, are beginning to unlimber t h ekinks from their muscles and preparing for the coming cinder season. Last year the Vikings won the tri-Normal meet, and although it is too early to make, predictions! the Hilltoppers have prospects for a fairly strong squad. As yet, no sprint men have appeared and material is also lacking in several field events. Last year's let-termen include Brinkman."Erickson, Carboneau, and Egan. The latter three , are- all distance-men, while Erickson is the best bet in the hurdle and the javelin. He holds the tri-normal record in this event. Flowers, who placed in the State meet last year, is expected to furnish points in the polevault, as is Bey also.

Play Is Symbolic j Perhaps a few words of the author's, regarding his play, may be .enlightening. Mr. Robinson says,' "In its conception, 'The Whiteheaded •Boy," was to have been full of, symbolic meaning, for I had conceived the idea of displaying the British Empire in the form of a large, over-jgrown family kept together, more or less against its will, by an illogical, absurd, generous, scheming, lovable mother. I made Ireland her youngest .; child, half black sheep, half moth-jer's darling (or, as we say here, ^'whiteheaded boy'). He was to be spoiled and petted, bullied and slapped, praised and blamed and left finally so bewildered and bemused that the only definite idea left to him- is that of cutting himsel free from his impossible family and making his own life in his own way. Great Britain (to which I gave the name George) was to be the member of the family most deserving of our pity, overburdened with responsibilities. 'Look at the life I've led you all, and no one thinking that maybe I'd want to get married, or have a bit of fun or spend a bit of money. . . 'Somehow, that bit of symbolism has remained and in George I do still see poor, harassed : England, which would prefer, above all things, to be free of responsibilities with leisure and money to enjoy itself. t Symbolism Lost But, apart from George and a speech in the third act which now rings a little false, all the symbolism has disappeared. It started to disappear the moment I put pen to : paper. Like the Mr. Edwards who tried to b ea philosopher, 'Cheerful ness was always breaking in.' Aunt ' Ellen, in fact, kept breaking in, and Mr. Duffy. They, in my conception, : were to play a very small part in the parable. But, when I started to write, the Geoghegans and Duffys took the bit between their teeth and for a fortnight drove my pen exactly in the direction they wanted it to go. By that time the play was finished and, reading it over, I had ruefully to admit that it was not the play I had set out to write. But I was not displeased, for few people are interested in the relations between Ireland and England, but the problem of the whiteheaded boy is vital, from Ballycolman to the world's end." EDENS HALL Edna Wise, of Seattle, was the week-end guest of Ann Jordan. Mr. Bill Kelley, of Auburn, was also her guest at luncheon, Saturday. Louise Steger, of Snohomish, and Elizabeth Gable, of Edmonds, were also week-end guests at Edens Hall.

A short house-meeting wgs held last Saturday night. After the business meeting, the girls popped corn, and had a very informal party among themselves. "I'm a beaten man!" said many a new, weary Philo member,' as he bowed desperately, three times to the villainous ancients of the club who were out for initiates' scalps (or bows). It all happened last Wednesday evening in the school building when ten weak and not too willing students gathered for the big ceremony. • •-. • Each one was blindfolded and led through the halls by heartless old members, who paddles were in marvelous working order. As the evening grew later, the blindfolded babes were left shoeless and stockingless, but still they marched through the halls, and still the paddles descended ceaselessly time after time. Winding up in the little gym, the boys and girls did the Philo walk (touching the knee to the floor at each step) three times around the room, Speaker in Assembly "Ten Years of the League of Nations," was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. James Axtell, at the Women's League Assembly, Friday; She told of the organization, accomplishments, and aims of the League. Mrs. Axtell, who has visited Geneva, where the League of Nations meets, described the city and scenery in detail. Miss Adele Jones cautioned the girls against eating candy and cookies in the Women's League room. Charlotte Glinesky sang several solos accompanied by Allene Hurlburt.

Since the. requests were sent out each, days mail has brought ^ in-Trepbrts telling of the different aiumber of openings. Candidates are selected for those positions and the names of the students chosen are posted on the bulletin board. ' Miss Jenner of the Appointment Bureau, says that it is important that students should watch for their names. Spring vacation offers an opportunity for prospective teachers to make personal applications for schools. Some will make their personal applications after having applied for schools ..through the mail /while others will apply personally for the first time. ' " I t is important that those desir- --ing schools let Miss Jenner, know how ; they may be reached during vacat i o n : "All papers regarding .recommendations must be handed in to the ' office gt;nd to,.' the faculty members ^before vacation. • :,._,/ ' "T-.

By June Wetherell Hikers, athletes, woodsmen; lovers of- literature and would-be-poets have a common interest in the last number of the lecture course when Lew Sarett, known as the "Poet of the Wilderness" will speak at the Normal this evening. This is indeed a rare treat, for it is only about three months of every year that he can be persuaded to come out from his retreat in the wild and mount the lecture platform . (His life would make a most fascinating biography. Born in the Chicago slums of immigrant parents he has become this interesting combination of poet and woodsman. He is now a professor in the English department of the University of Illinois, l The poetry of Lew Sarett sings of the wild, of the animals that live in the big woods, of all natural beauty. It has a peculiar and natural, charm that is somehow different from other poetry. Altogether it is a most rare and momentous occasion for the students of -the Normal and the people of Bellingham. 'Rosa Melba Ponselle, world's greatest dramatic soprano, and the'first •American to make a debut in leading role with Caruso, will appear at the First Christian Church, March 28, at 8:15 p.: m. The first -people to hear Miss Ponselle's famous voice were "tlie people in the humble little church which she attended. Her greatest triumph came on the evening when she appeared as "Julia" in The "Revival of La Vestale," the loftiest artistic flight of her young career. She is regarded as one of the elect with her career now coming into full blossom." She is called by some artists "Caruso in Petticoats." She sings with consummate art, fully measuring up to the glowing reputation which_ the critics have given her. Ponselle is a great delight to the lovers of music." Her enunciation and remarkable technique are said to be perfect. With her first note she thrills her auditors and they are said never to relax their attention until the song is finished. '"What a gorgeous voice she releases; hers is one of the most beautiful organs of tone that the Metropolitan has ever known. She is a very rare phenomenon nowadays and has a voice thrilling in the upper register. Her intonation is faultless, her breath controls easy and she never sacrifices quality for dramatic effect." : O :- ^S lt;eJMesMFfos$6h at Emriidveh ~ ROSA P O N S E L L E; Who will sing at the First Christian Church, Monday, March 28, at 8:15 p. m.

' The "Red Arrow" has been the object of many favorable comments from the faculty and the students for its literary value. Figures received from Nelson Robinson, business manager, show that it is a fi-, nacial success, as well. The report is as follows: Liabilities— Cuts $ 21.70 Printing .....,- 114.00 $135.70 Assets— Advertisements -.. $ 79.75 Sales 57.00 Students Want Underground Tunnel From New Library to Main Building When young people are as free to walk put of a cla,S8room'vnere?'they are bored by a dull school teacher as grown-up people are to walk out of a theater where they ,;are feored by a dull playwright, the sclioois. will be more crowded than; the tbeater81;'*"^ the; teachers far »ore^Opopulir tliari ittoe-; store ^tors.r-^eprge^^Bernard ^Shawy^;;^, '•••0K^^ ^/V/• ;•• •' gt;•::•••;• ?/;U- ''}:' _j After listening to discussions at Harry's, Edens Hall, and the locker, rooms] it seems that the administration lias taken over the.construction of the new library- without first consulting the students and finding out just what the students want. The library, according to the students' opinion, is being built solely for-the students and their" "welfare.-.--Therefore they "feel that it should have been only just and right that they be consulted on how the library is to be built. A few of the plans proposed by students' will be given and it is hoped they may - be. considered before it is too late. (Ahe ideas of students .who are so interested in the growth of the Normal that they will give some of their little spare time to the, discussion of the - library, should cer: tainly be considered.) 1st Plan.—The library should be. three stories high, to conform with the main building. On the first floor there should be a large gym so that, all games could be played on the 'Normal campus. This would al»6 make the gym classes mucli more in-teresting^ arid much better supervised. There should be two large ' swimming'" tanks,' one at;each end of the building,,;so^ that .boys' and girls'- swimming classes could be conducted on the. campus. A set of rowing ma-cliines' should be installed so boys in-: terested -in;erew could' riractice in the gym; This;- would be//a; big drawing - ; $135.75 Approximately 355 copies have been sold so far and there are 500 more copies, some of which are expected to be sold to the.Alumni. Quality of Styles Displayed in Concert NearlyS 1,000,000 Appropriated ForB.N. card for the men of the state also. The library itself would be on the. second floor. (All plans for the second floor are to-be left with Miss Wilson.) The third floor would be a large dance floor. There would be cloak rooms, two billiard rooms and one card room. An elevator from the first floor to the tnii'd floor, that does not stop at the second floor should also bc^in the plans. 2nd plan.—This plan is practically the same as plan one except that the second and third floors would be changed around. It is argued that this would be cheaper=as the elevator would only have to run between the first and second floors. 3rd plan—An underground tunnel should be dug from the main building to the library so that none would •have to get out in the cold changing from gym classes to the main building. This tunnel should be provided w i t h benches so that students who are extremely tired from a strenuous gym class can rest. No snooper vision (we beg your pardon we meant 'supervision') should be allowed in this tunnel; -This tunnel would also be very useful during initiations of the various clubs. These are but a few of the plans, that have: been discussed by tire more interested; s^udents^ arid/ it^ is honed thev will be takenV under": cohsideraVr-brary .is started. (By Edna Wise) Music, "sheer music alone was the objective and the attainment of the Elshuco Musicians who played in a concert at the First Christian Church March 14. Two hours of richly, satisfying harmony presented in the lofty tone of cultured musicianship offered beaii-ties of the true music alone. The Elshuco Players are individual artists of high attainment: yet it was more than mere individual musicianship that went to make up their ensemble effects. It may be said that all of the music was new to the majority of Bellingham ears and for that reason doubly delightful. Quality of style was displayed which marked each composition as an interpretation, which stimulated and satisfied aesthetic appetites. Added to this was a repose which bespoke technical mastery keeping company with understanding. Music of different types from different times in .trio form /was, pre^ sehted in three numbers. ?The period of 1861 ot 1906 was presented in a group of Anton- Stepanowitch. Arenc-ky: that of; 1797 to 1828 in a group by Franz Schubert, and from 1660 to 1723was. presented, in a series^, by Jean Baptiste Toillet.

STAFF -Theo Norby Helene Wright Gladys Burton Phyllis Westover Marion Quesenberry THE PASSING WEEK Judging from the response of the student body to tKe.new publication, "THE RED ARROW," there is every reason.to make the publication a regular activity in the Normal. A way by which all the students shall receive the magazine should be studied. The expenses on the publication do not amount to much; the students can afford to pay 15 cents a quarter to support it. Sarah Goodman Joseph Jones REPORTERS Andrew McCall Tony • Mustacich Ellsworth Lumley . . . Edna Wise June Wetherell Mark Jarrett Robert Wagner Vernon Zachrison EDITORIAL COUNCIL Jessie Whitten Robert Fisher Ruth Sturman Bryan Hankins, newly appointed editor of the Weekly Messenger, will assume office with the opening of the Spring quarter. Bryan has been connected with the Messenger for the past six quarters; the last four being consumed in discharging the duties of the office of Business Manager. In addition to serving as business manager of the Messenger, Hankins has held many offices of minor importance during his stay here. He has been President of the Freshman Class, President of the Thespians, President of the Men's Club, President of the Social Science Club, and Secretary to the Board of Control. There is not the slightest reason to believe that Hankins cannot discharge the duties of his new post. With the ability to co-operate with the rest of the members who are connected with the publication of the Messenger he has an excellent opportunity to improve during the coming quarter. The students wish Hankins the best of luck in his newly acquired position and are willing to co-operate with him to the best of their ability. One way is to have the Students' Association pass a law by which 15 cents of the student's "activities fee" be set aside each quarter to pay for the Red Arrow. With just 15 cents from each and every student in the Normal each quarter, the magazine can be published without the need of advertisements. STUDENT BODY ELECTIONS The Student Body elections Were highly satisfactory. They proved beyond a doubt the ability of the students to judge candidates. In George Allez, who was, reelected for president, the students have chosen a person whose equal cannot be found within the Normal School. His principles, his business and administrative abilities, are of the highest type. His opinions are not prejudiced. The students do not realize how fortunate they really are. Robert Fisher, was elected by popular, vote to the office of vice-president of the Board of Control, and his election has not been regretted.' gt; He has been active in student affairs since his arrival here ifasfc Summer. In the summer, he ' played tennis, and wrote for the Messenger. With the beginning of the fall quarter, Robert was appointed to act as sports editor of the Messenger. This quarter he has acted as sports editor and has improved the page to a marked extent. It is difficult to locate within the -Northwest a College or Normal school paper that has such a remarkable sports page as the Messenger. It is due largely to Robert's, ceaseless efforts that this has been accomplished. . ^_ Q. RED ARROW The RED ARROW made a -favorable impression upon both students and faculty members last week. The next magazine will be issued about June thirty, of next quarter. The desire is to have a more varied choice of contributions for subsequent publications. Contributions will be accepted from the faculty and alumni. The desire of the Scribes Club.is to get the students to subscribe-for the magazine. The Magazine is indeed a credit to the institution. It is assured that it will not degenerate into a features publication. The students wish the club success in this new undertaking. ;v -____—o——-_.' The Elshuco Trio was an inspiration. It was a production that would be creditable in any musical pavilion. Reports have come that the Drama Club play presented last week was an astounding success. The theme, the acting,, the management, the stage setting were commendable. The production showed tireless coaching and diligent application on the part of the participants. . o The students are going off for a week's relaxation. Don't forget where you are to return after your week's fun. _ o As Marionettes are being introduced into the elementary school more rapidly every year, it is in all probability exceedingly fortunate that the sttdents of the Normal school have an opportunity to witness a production of this nature within the month, Mr. Philippi, of the school faculty has left a lasting impression upoi the student body which saw him in' one of the leadin roles of the play. "A Bunch of Roses", staged by the f a c u l t y some weeks ago. People outside of the Nor-! mal should not un excusably enter-] tain the opinion that our teachers do, ' not knowi things outside of| pedagogy. H. C. PHILIPPI Those empty bottles on the small table in Dean Jones' office should be thrown away. They are not needed there, and what is more, the effort to dip the pen into them is wasted energy. It is like the check without the money in the bank. Nevertheless, they are used mostly by those who go there for their absences, so it serves them right. (By Duke) The storm of faculty comment regarding the student opinion on tests that was published in last week's Messenger seems to indicate that it IS the truth that hurts. wvwwwwywwwwwu Student on The Chinese play given in the assembly this morning won the hearty applause ; of the student \t gt;ody.

Start Real Work TEAM LOOKS GOOD Two of 1925 Moundsmen Are Back to Serve Vikings on Hurling Staff, and There on Others. Successful Tennis Team Prophesied Coming Season With regular, baseball turnouts scheduled to begin in ten days the first-of next quarter—the outlook for a successful diamond year is excellent. Five lettermen, with a wealth of new candidates will go to form what should be one of Bellinghani's best baseball teams. Many aspiring stars are already out tossing the ball around and limbering up although the weather does not permit use of the diamond. * The 1927 Xormal aggregation on paper looks decidedly good. Three pitchers, a classy catcher, half a dozen good infielders, and outfields of known ability, will be on hand when Coach Keeney begins work. The mound staff is sure to be the strongest which has performed here for many a moon. Eddie "Kewphie" Wingard is figured on as a certain winner. He has a wonderful record as a pitcher both at Bellingham and elsewhere. As one of the two moundsmen of the championship 1925 B. S. N. S. team, he performed brilliantly, being one of the best hurlers ever possessed by a Washington Normal. Don Patterson, regular of last year, is*the second of the trio. While not a heavy winner, he has a world of baseball knowledge and is a dependable man. Teddy Burke the third moundsniau, has had no previous Normal experience, but is a highly touted high school hurler, and should make good. A good maskman. Cooper, of Ricti-mond Beach, will be on hand next quarter when school opens, and ought to uphold the high standard set in two 'previous seasons by Boyd Staggs' work. Weak At First. Firstbase is the only position for which no experienced man has yet appeared, but two weeks should see someone turn up for the job. The reinainirig-three infield positions are certain to be well taken care of. - It is probable that either "Zeke" McClurken, of Richmond Beach, or Cecii Gray, will get the call at the keystone' sack. With letterman Myron .Estill in* the short patch, and Earl Keplinger, also a veteran, on third, the left side of the infield will be taken care. of. Ray Odell, star Viking athlete, is also a good in-fielder, but will probably be ineligible, due to several sicknesses during the winter. Lyman Stickney, hard-hitting gar- Mener, is the only veteran outfielder to return, but many new men are ready to step, into the places left vacant by Grannis and Katterle. Coach Carver has been working for several weeks on the .schedule but thus far, only a few games are -definite. These are: May 7.—Washington Frosh, Seattle. -• .. May 28.—St. . Martin's College, here. June 4.—Washington Frosh, here. •——o-^— Remarkable B. B. Record Is Made Three Viking basketball teams . have now finished one of the most successful basketball seasons ever experienced a t ; the ^Normal.^ The record these squads have left, behind them is remarkable as they have w,on total of 41 games and losing only 10, whiles, piling up a score of 1,973 to their opponents 1,225 , The Varsity. .~"l - -•/;•— ' ; — _ o .' ./ ' , '- • If you wear gay colors and a . startling hat he hesitates to./ take you out.

With the courts already filled with players, both experts and novices, this year should be a big one in B. S.'N. S. team's history. But one varsity letterman, Ernie Keplinger, is returning. All other 192G players are gone. Broadbent and Fitzgerald have graduated, while Sullivan and Wheaton are not returning. However, the new material will easily compensate for these losses. The class of the school seems to be Nelson Robinson, of Seattle, a member of. the 1922 Washington Frosh aggregation. He has easily defeated some of the better players in school in singles, and has shown good form as a doubles player. He yet has to meet in a match any of his nearest competitors, yet is doped as first man on the team. Counted on as one of the other regulars is Myer Thai steady left-hander of the Whatcom High School. Thai will be in school next quarter and should prove a dependable winner. Bob Fisher, another port-sider, also has an achievement of winning a letter and looks to be a worthy member of the first team. Fisher won the school tournament last summer. Many New Men Out Other new men who will probably figure in the fight for varsity berths are: Chester Chatfield, Summer Kel-lem, Jack Smith, Theo Norby, Bill Mock, "Hub" Allen, Maurice Thompson and Bill Wannamaker. The schedule has not yet been arranged, but the Tri-Normal meet will take place on May twenty-first here; the Washington Frosh, St. Martins College and College of Puget Sound will probably also be opponents. Regular varsity turnouts will begin March twenty-eighth, the opening day of the spring quarter and will take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at eleven o' clock. VIKING VARSITY.

STATE TOURNAMENT IS BIG ATTRACTION Many Local Basketball Followers See Bothell Capture Hoop Title. Winners Have Classy Outfit. The Viking Varsity went through a good season, winning the Tri-Normal title even though they did not finish as strong as they might have. Many blame the players for their loss of the last two games on their trip, but-the cause of this is that the men had laid off for two weeks, immediately following their hard home engagement, during which time they beat Cheney, twice, Ellensburg and St. Martin's. The following is a summary of the Varsity season: Vikings 32—Lynden 24. Vikings 57—Adanacs 21. Vikings 31—U. of W. Frosh 25. Vikings 33—Ellensburg 30.

Too much praise can hardly be given Bill Mock for his remarkable' 'portrayal of the character of John Rhead, first as an enthusiastic young man, as a middle-aged man, and a -doddering old man. Olive Hardah as the positive young : girl who became, the sharp-voiced old maid:and Rella- Ebeling as the sweet 'Rose who •always^agreed with her husband, showed ..the change from youth, to middle and old age in a most, charming fashion.

Jack Schneider was irresistable and adoable Ned Pym and Ralph Huff as Iiord Mbnkhurst, his son, was a perfect picture of the modern good-for- nothing young Englishman.

Students are busy with tennis an dtrying to register for nize, eazy courzes with no "three o'clocks". Caretakers scan the campus with watchful eyes, ever ready for that persistent pest, th dandelion. Faculty members mask their deligth in the glorious weather behind cold, hard-hearted countenances. The simplest problems grow from anthills into ranges of Mt. Everets and a feeling pervades the brain commonly designated as "woozy." We should do a little more "early-bird" thinking about this time of year. We should not attempt to "squelch" our spring-fevers. Neither should we yield ourselves entirely to the carefree "wooziness." Each day we should set apart a short time expressly for enjoying* the golden dandelions, the tennis courts, and the boy-friend or girl-friend as the case may be. The other share of the time, in which we grind out knowledge from this brick "mill-on-the-hill", would seem comparatively short. Local Historian Digs Up Interesting Facts Concerning Normal • Twenty-seven years ago the first copy of the Messenger appeared, with the following introduction: "To the people of the State of Washington, greetings: 'Tar up in the Northwestern corner of the Evergreen State on the beautiful shores of Bellingham Bay, has arisen a new institution, the Whatcom State Normal School. "The building is situated on the side of Sehome Hill, which rises in graceful terraces from the bay. The view from here is inspiring. •' The City of Whatcom, with its adjoining country, the bay girt. by the islands of the .Sound, the hills covered .with evergreen forests, and far away, the snow capped Cascades, spread out before one in panoramic view.

As the,course in the seventh-grade is. introductory to the later work, they take up the simpler problem in order to gain an understanding of social needs and come in closer contact with their community. One phase of the work they have taken up brings to them an appreciation of what has been done to make: Bellingham a beautiful city. In this connection they study. the building and care of city parks as well_as the building progress and newer forms of architecture. When they gain a complete understanding of the past their next step brings them to a study of further possibilities of beautification and improvement, In this they take up such topics as an •investigation of the proposed street lighting system and the zoning project, with arguments pro and con. Pupils Study Manufactuing. Another phase of the • work is the study of the manufacturing possibilities of the city and surrounding country. Questions arise as to the advantages of industries such as sugar beet and pulp manufacture, in this locality. They also study this country in comparison with the east as a center for textile manufacture. Here they bring out the advantages of our geographic situation in relation to, countries from which raw textile materials are imported. Make Bulletin Weekly. As far as possible the children collect their own information and material and assemble it each week into a bulletin.

The Men's League, however, did not plan such an elaborate meeting and their time was mostly taken up with impromptu discussion and election of officers. Pour Lettermen Turning Out Who Carver's 1928 Hoop Team. S C H E D U L E FORMING .Bellingham Normal Will Attempt to Again Bring Home the Tri- Normal Title for Second Time. Getting under way a month after -the second and third teams began fall activities, the first varsity turn- •outs of the winter were held this week in the Whatcom High gym. .Four varsity lettermen, with several men from the super-varsity, two of whom played first-team ball last year, are expected to form a hoop combination that will equal or surpass the state Tri-Normal championship aggregation of 1926-27. Earl Keplinger, Eddie Wingard, Art Isaacson and Harry .Benson, the four veterans, will probably form the nucleus around which Coach Sam Carver will center his hopes. jDscar Thorsen, former varsity sub. Bay Jewell, of the U. of W. Frosh; Ted Clarke, ex-local high star, and "Zeke" McClurkan, of the Supers, are doped as the strongest contenders for first-team positions.

Fowler, of the English department, gave an address on "The Teacher's Reading," to a group of teachers of the Bellinghani schools, at their monthly dinner meeting, in the banquet room of the Montague-McHugh department store. Mr. Fowler suggested that the reader seek a definite objective and read along certain lines. He talked for a better balanced ration of reading and to avoid narrowness. A period for discussion and reflection should be set aside by the reader. 'He also added that the value of reading for enriching life was especially important. Vicarious experience through reading is educational, and success in teaching depends always on keeping .something in reserve. . MANY TO GRADUATE AT END OF OUARTER Class of Seventy Will Receive Diplomas in December, Most of Whom Plan to Return. The completion of the Fall quarter will find Bellingham Normal yielding'a class of seventy graduates. Of this number 69 will complete the two year course while one, Miss Laura E. Runyan, will receive her third year diploma. There will be no formal commencement program other than special recognition in assembly. There are two formal graduation exercises during the year at the end of the Sprmg and Summer quarters, December and March graduates are invited to participate in the Spring graduating exercises at which time the largest group of graduates will receive their diplomas. Practically all of the graduates this quarter intend to return and take advanced work for the rest of the academic vear. Four Placements Given by Bureau Four additional placements have been reported by the appointment bureau' in the last week. The students who have received positions through this department are: Madge Boyer, who is in charge of all music instruction in Ferndale: Gwendolyn Bartells, teaching at Pleasant Hill, near Carnation; Gladys M. Smith, elected for her third year at Marietta: and Ethel Umbanhowar, teaching at the Klamath Indian Reservation in Oregon. 'Miss- Elizabeth Hopper is secretary of the bureau. FOWLER AT INSTITUTE Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, head of the English department, spoke to the Clallam county Teachers' institute, in Port Angeles, November 22, on the subjects of "What's the Use of Poetry?" and "Aim and Achievement in High Scliool English.'^ These respective subjects were given to grade and high school teachers of the institute in separate groups.

This dance, given quarterly by the residents of Eden's Hall, is expected to draw a heavy attendance among the hall girls. The general plans for the affair are more or less a secret, but it is understood that the decorations are to have a Dutch motif, representing a Dutch village. In keeping with this theme is the five piece Knickerbocker Orchestra, of Seattle, which is a favourite among dance-goers here and which has been secured for the dance. Novelty . dances and programs Avill help to carry out the Dutch idea. Patrons and patronesses for the evening are Mr. and Mrs. Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. Ewell, Miss Johnson and Mr. Johnson. Art Exhibit Will Be Displayed by Classes of Dep't. Next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the Art department will display its work in room 103. Miss Hazel Plympton and Miss Hazel Breakey are exhibiting the work which has been done in their Art 1 and Art 2 classes this quarter. There will be a whole family of dolls—dolls of every nationality— and doll furniture painted in beautiful colors. Boxes for the primary child's sewing which have been prettily decorated, ordinary jars and dishes which have been made into beautiful vases, and colorful paper lamp shades, will be on display, with many other pieces of work done. The room will be open for visitors all dav. Tenor PI eases Audience With Varied Program Edward Johnson, considered by judges ag America's foremost tenor, opened the Musical Artists Course for this winter last evening, at the First Christian Church auditorium 'with a program of well selected songs. Mr. Edward Johnson is,a self-made artist, having been forced to leave home at an early age because of his parent's objection to his choice of singing as a- career. After having spent a great deal of time devoted to singing, and after having made several concert tours of the United States and Canada, lie suddenly disappeared. Sometime after this there appeared an extraordinary tenor in Italy, by the name of Eduardo di Giovanni, pupil of the famous Lombardi who had taught Caruso. Two years later Lombardi's pupil; Mr. Johnson (Eduardo di Giovanni) made his debut at Padua, in 1912. Never before in the-history of opera has any man so captured the hearts of the DEBATE \ CONTBTSELECTED School Team Will Be Chosen from ,, AH the Intra-Mural Contestants Regardless of Team Standing C H A L L E N G E RECEIVED Women's Team Receives Challenge From Willamette University. Other Teams Seeking Debates. ' "Resolved; That the United States should grant complete autonomy to the Philippines," was the question decided upon by Miss- Madden for the intra-mural debate, which is scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday, December fifth and sixth. Plan for Debates Any club is eligible to enter a team in this contest and independent teams are acceptable also. A two-man team is allowed five minutes for a main speech and four minutes for a rebuttal, wlijle a three man team will be allowed four minutes for a main speech and three minutes for rebuttal. The challenging team gets* its choice of the question. In this form of elimination contest, which is known as the ladder tournament, the winners of the first • debates will compete in the semi-finals and the winners of the semi-finals will meet in assembly for the championship. The school team will be picked from all those turning out regardless of the teams standing which the members debated on. Challenges Received The Normal school has received several challenges from out side schools wishing debates. A challenge from Willamette 'University has been received, offering to debate a. women's team from this school on the question: "Resolved; That the United States should use armed force to protect American capital in Central America." "Gavel and Pulpit" The newly organized debate club has selected the name of "Gavel and Pulpit," as its name. This was decided on at a special meeting held last Tuesday evening. At this meeting the Gavel and Pulpit, which is sponsoring the intra-mural debates, decided upon the general plan for the contest and also held try outs for its members who will compose the team which enters the tournament.

The University of Washington has dropped the Honor Code which was originally intended to eliminate cheating among students in examinations. Its demise indicates its failure to accomplish satisfactorily this end. For a time the operation of this code was watched by thise interested in adopting a similar thing for the Bellingham Normal. Even yet the matter is being worked on by a committee. But Bellingham Normal does not need any such system as was used by the University. The method of testing and grading has eliminated cheating to a far greater extent than any honor system yet devised has ever done for another school. Where the Honor Code attempted to make the student play fair through his own responsibility, the grading system of this school has made it to the individual's interest not to impart information which would raise another's grade and make his own score lower in relation to the group. As it is not characteristic of "homo sapiens" to give without receiving in equal or greater portions, cheating does no good as students do relatively the same calibre of work in the tests Cheating does exist here but to a far less degree, we venture, than in any other school not using a similar grading system, regardless of whether they have an honor system. Until one is devised which will eliminate cheating in its entirity, the agitation need not affect this school. We are entertained so much by professional artists of various kinds that to witness a student production should be a pleasing change. Such an opportunity is to be afforded us this evening when the Drama Club produces the first of its plays. Although we are bombarded with musical programs and lectures of many varieties, the number of entertainments of a dramatic nature are far too few. There is nothing more enjoyable than this sort of entertainment. While the cost of bringing professional dramatic groups is prohibitive to much of that sort of thing, happily it is the sort of entertainment that can best be done acceptably by amateur groups. Efforts of the Drama Club in their quarterly plays are usually well received by the students, as are assembly programs of like nature which are student productions. We would suggest a few student-produced plays by way of variety in the bi-weekly assembly programs. Of the many worthwhile things done by the school for the benefit of the student body and the people of Bellingham, perhaps none are more worthwhile than the numbers of the Musical Artists Course. In the past, the artists visiting this city have given splendid programs which are leaving their mark as a part of the cultural development of Bellingham and the Normal school. That a school and city of this size can bring artists of so high a calibre to its people, is an accomplishment of which they may be justly proud. That different groups of people will unite to bring things of common enjoyment to themselves renders the results of their efforts doubly successful. "Only two weeks more until vacation"—what a paradise it now seems. What fun with parties, old friends, mother's cooking—and no studies. The Thanksgiving recess was an excellent sample, and we are anxious for the real thing. But now it's term papers that are due, books to be read, neglected studying to be brought up, and final exams. Verily, the life of the student is hard. But cheer up ye heavily burdened, it's all in the life, which also includes—vacation. CHILDREN OF TRAINING SCHOOL GIVE FESTIVAL (Continued from page One) Harvest, John Shields. As the Normal orchestra, led by Harold B. Smith, played the Processional, the children of the school marched in two by two. The students of the fourth grade led the march. They were followed by the Goddess of the Harvest, who, with the three attendants, took her place upon the stage, which was decorated in keeping with the autumn season. The whole program was a complete success, going off without the slightest halt to mar its delightful-ness. The dances, which were given by the girls of the seventh and eighth grades, and which were directed by Miss Bertha M. Keller, were especially pleasing, while the spoken parts were well given. These parts were written by the children of the school. Previous to this year, the parts which had been used were those written by the pupils of the Francis W. Parker school of New York City, but this year new parts "were used, so as to bring the entire program closer to the children. Following the Dance of the Grapes, gifts were presented to the Goddess , of the Harvest by representatives from each, class. , These gifts were but symbols of. those collected by the pupils, Miss Rich, director of the training school declared. The first grade, under the supervision of Miss Ruth Strickland, training teacher, prepared, thirty-three glasses of apple jeMy. All the donations, which were in the form of fruits, vegetables or canned goods, were turned over to the City Mission for distribution to the poor of the city. In addition to this the students of the school subscribed $15 for the Red Cross Milk Fund. Miss Rich, in speaking of the festival, said: "It was the loveliest one we have ever had. Each year we strive to make it better." The music was directed by Miss Moore, while Miss Keller had charge of the dancing. An audience of approximately four hundred education students and parents attended the festival, which was held in the auditorium. Cincinnati Leads Paying Teachers "Cincinnati Sets the Pace,"\ in teachers' salaries according to a statement made in the November issue of The Journal of the National Educational Association. According to the Journal, Cincinnati has set its maximum high enough in comparison with the cost.of living in that city to enable any teacher to. live a life of professional attainment. "Cincinnati recognizes the principle of the single salary schedule by putting all teachers of the same training and experience ,on a common salr ary basis whether they teach on elementary, junior, or senior levels. This follows the example set by other cities which have done notable pioneer work in the improvement of teaching personnel, such as Denverj Colorado;: Lincoln, Nebraska;- Oak- ; W", What, No Beans?

OLD P L A Y E R S BACK Pre-season Dope Favors Co-ops and Kitchen Krew; Jayvee Men Barred; Philo-Thespians Out. National Football Coming to Close of Successful Season As a result of the decision of the the managers of the v a r i o us teams the Avinter . intra-mural basketball league will get under way next Tuesday afternoon in the little gym at 4:00 P. M. Principals in the opening struggle will be the Kitchen Krew who draw the Vanadis Bragi as opponents. Games will be played every Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Intra-mural sports have come to be an integral part of the athletic schedule of the school and none have enjoyed more success than the basket- ball leagues. These have formed the principle diversions not only during \ the winter but among the Summer school students as well, who each year organize a strong league. Old Stars Back With the opening of hostilities many of the old players will' again be on hand although former stars will be out due to the decision of the league bosses that players on the Junior and Supervarsity teams are ineligible to play on intra-mural teams. However this will allow more students to participate, thus fulfilling the object of intrarmiral sports. A number of new faces are seen in the roster of teams entering in the competition, and as "well, the withdrawal of former standbys is noticed. Teams representing the Vanadis Bragi, Co-op, Frosh and .Kitchen Krew, are entered along with several independent teams namely: the Low Stars, and Scotchmen. The managers are lining up players and any men interested in playing are urged to get in touch with some of these. Elton Korsboen has charge of the Vanadis Bragi, Bill Wanamaker the Co-ops, Tommy Marsden the Low Stars, Bill Reeves the Scotchmen, Roy Armstrong the Kitchen Krew, and Harry Darby the Frosh. The Philos and Thespians have withdrawn this year due to the fact that varsity competition has eliminated most of their good men while most of the rest have signed with independent teams. The Philos were last year's champs with the Co-ops winning this last summer. The rules regulating the intramural classics are as follows: 1. Games are to be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning at 4 o'clock. 1st game—4 o'clock. 2nd game—4 o'clock. Games shall consist of two fifteen minute halves with six minutes between halves. / , 2. Scheduled games cannot be called off except-by mutual consent. 3. No team shall carry more than ten men on its roster. 4. Players must be signed up with the secretary five days before the scheduled game before they can play. 5. Any team playing an ineligible man in the game shall forfeit said game. 6. No varsity, super-varsity, or junior varsity men shall be eligible to take part in inti-a-mural competition. 7. The referee shall be selected by the managers of the different games. 8. No man may play on more than one team. Intra-Mural Basketball Schedule Tuesday, Dec. 6.— Kitchen Krew vs. Vanadis Bragi.

The Trojans, in . arsmashing attack, scored early in the first quarter on a long pass that resulted in a touchdown, but failed to make the try-for-point. A few minutes later in the same period, the Irish found their chance to score, and on a series of passes finally succeeded in crossing the goal. Then, with -, Notre Dame line holding like a stone wall, Durham, successfully booted the~ drop kick for the added point,-giving the Irish their edge and final victory. ' At the New York polo grounds, the Army defeated the Navy to the tune of 14 to 9. The Annapolis men stood up against the Army's rush for the first half in a wonderful fashion, but did not do so well during the second period. The Navy made two points for itself on a safety while the Army did its best but could not score. Then during the second period, Whitney Lloyd, of the Navy, succeeded in passing over the goal resulting in the Navy's lone touchdown, but in the final half the Army came down in a whoop and piled up the scores on the sailors. Other Eastern football results were: Boston 6, Holy Cross 0; Cani-sius 7, St. Bonaventure 0; Georgia Tech Freshmen 46, Georgia Freshmen 0.

L U N D B E R G STARS Junior Varsity Scores a Decisive Win Over Modern Woodmen in Initial Class B Mix of Year. Gonzaga Football • '-• i Team Downs Idaho in a Hard Game Close individual contesting rather than united teamwork won the intramural hockey championship -for the "Bobcats" with a 1 to 0 score. The opposing "Abies" were twice within a single shot of the goal when the whistle blew for quarter, taking the ball back to center when play was resumed. This game played off a 0 to 0 tie of the previous "Bobcat" vs "Abie" meet. The ball was shot from the vicinity of one goal to the other with little blocking until it entered full-back territory. Alice Campbell, "Bobcat" goalkeeper, played better defense, perhaps, than any other on her team in this field. Jennie Sabol, "Bobcat" captain, and Golda Abel, "Abie" captain, played both fast and well, and with more co-operative teamwork, might have made the score end differently. Lillian Hendland scored the single "Bobcat" goal. Ruth Atkins and Grace Neeley played strong offense and defense for the "Abies" but again lacked teamwork, the use of which could hardly be expected with a muddy field even postponing practice games. The lineup for the championship game was as follows: "BOBCATS" "ABIES" Carrie Tucker c.f. Naomi Chase Irene Larson r.i. Grace Clampett Mary Fox r.i. Nellie Barton Rosa Ott l.i. Ruth Atkins L.

M. C. A. floor. The unexpected turn of affairs relegated them from the top of the heap sending Sam Carver's youngsters clattering down to fourth place in the league standings. With one victory gracing and one defeat blemishing their record, the Juniors will have to struggle hard to regani their lost ground and place themselves in the running. Providing they capture the American Legion tilt this evening and the majority of the others that follow the Normalites still be a strong contender for the flag. They should have little trouble in taking the measure of the Legionnaires, who have oht won a game thus far. Inability to connect regularly with the basket was responsible for their defeat at the hands of the Oilmen. Time after time a Jayvee player would have a splendid opportunity for an under-the basket shot, only to make a futile attempt to convert. Shell Oil's aggregation initiated thei rscoring attack early in the game and at half time were, leading the Viknigs 24 to' 12. At no time did the Normal threaten although they did creep up on their opponents in the final canto. Although high scoring honors went to Cannon, who made 23 points for the winners, the real star of the contest was Lundberg, Jayvee guard, who not only led the attack with 10 markers, but played a commendable checking-game. Riegel, at center, also looked good. The Juniors had little in taking their initial game of the season with the Modern Woodmen. The final score of that. contest was 42 to 27.

The Gonzaga quarterback, "Fanny" Hunting played a spectacular game, and was ably seconded by. the Bulldog's left halfback, Ralls, whose passes gained enormous yardage for Gonzaga, while Hunting's punts went far. Hunting carried the ball over for both the Gonzaga touchdowns, which came in the first and second quarters. The Bulldogs were close on the ball all through the game, quick to recover fumbles and take advantage of the breaks. In a thrilling match at Los Angeles, the Drake football team, from the Iowa University, defeated the Bruins of tlie University of California, 25 to 0. The two teams scrambled and fought on even terms for the first two periods, until the southern defense crumbled and Drake won an, easy victory.

Council Is to be Organized. ''•• There is much activity in new club .formation this quarter; two new clubs, the Gavel and Pulpit and the Veteran and Service Men's club, have received permission to organize and have been sanctioned by the faculty committee. The constitutions have already been drawn and now stand to be approved. The clubs arc functioning and do- ' jng very well according to Miss Hilda Rosene, faculty advisor. No social clubs are active this quarter; thus only departmental, special, and literary clubs are functioning. All clubs have responded splendidly in sending representatives to the inter-club council which is planning a reorganization this quarter. This action was decided on, not because the clubs are lax, but to make them function still more efficiently. • Any question' regarding club affairs, when and where they meet, etc., can be found in the blue book, which gives a complete survey of all the clubs in the school, active and otherwise. There seems to be a general misunderstanding of the calendar, which is assembled by the calendar committee. Some have the impression that there is not a fair representation in the assembling of dates and that the calendar is made by a few students only. It must be made clear that the committee merely assembles the dates and the entire council votes approval . or disapproval, thus per- : mitting every organization to have an equal voice in the matter. The question has come up whether clubs may have meetings off the campus. Outside meetings are permissible but the regulations as given in the blue book must be followed. The faculty committee has investigated preference of the students in regard to activities as given on the registration cards, and it was shown that students are interested in clubs not now in existence; for instance, . a language club or an art club, and that they prefer more dramatic clubs. Miss Rosene states that if the students interested in the formation of new clubs would initiate action and consult her, the organization of such clubs would be feasible. o : Big Crowd Attends Outside Informal Women's League Amid a variety of colored lights the Women's League "outside informal" set up a challenge to the "Dorm" girls, who Avill at a future date give an "inside informal", by holding a well-directed program dance a week ago Saturday night, in Eden's Hall dining room. "The Knickerbockers" of Seattle, is the dance orchestra that took charge of the program. These five musicians issued forth a variety of music tkat never before has graced tlie dining room. The program consisted of sixteen dances with two extras-and an intermission after the eighth dance. Besides the bright lights of various colors, the hall was decorated with tapestry that created an unique scene to the eyes of approximately one hundred couples in attendance. Costumed girls met the dance-loving crowds at the doors and showed them the way to the ball room. Girls in costumes, also served the "punch." An "oriental" feature dance, danced by Jeannette Meigs, was one of the beautiful partg of the program. Miss Meigs, accompanied by a pianist, added the oriental touch Initiation Is Held For New Members of Veterans' Club On Monday, November 20, seven "Neophytes" suffered the rigors of initiation at the hands of nine charter members of the Veterans' and Service Mens' Glub, and so became full-fledged members of what President Harry Winsor terms "the only true social club in school." Those who were initiated are Raymond Bright, Sam Ford, Reginald McKee, Joe Hermsen, Martin Peterson, J. Lawrence Hogan, and Vernon V. Vine. The charter members are Harry Winsor, president; K. A. Kav-ern, vice-president gt; Al Korsboen, executive committee member; Fred Lagger, secretary-treasurer; Joel Gudmundson, sergeant-at-arms; Harold Magellson, Bryan Buchanan, Fred Tait, Harry Darby. . The initiation consisted o7"various stunts, duties; and a program of song lt;nven by the incoming members for the benefit of the girls of Eden's Hall. Following the program, refreshments were served in the cafeteria. In commenting upon the new organization, President Winsor said: "I hope that every eligible man in school wiy affiliate himself with this club, and help put it over as a most active organization." Any man who has served in any army or other force, or who at present is enlisfed in any such force is eligible for membership. CURRICULUM TOPIC OF MISS ERICKSON President Fisher Speaks to Frosh on Orientation Courses Offered to First Year Students. Miss Emma E. Erickson, of the elementary school, addressed the, freshmen on their special assembly Tuesday, on the problems of the upper grades. She was preceded on the platform by President Fisher, who generalized on the objects of these speakers and also spoke in regard to the orientation courses offered at this institution, saying this Normal probably led all others in this respect. Miss Erickson developed her discussion in a very interesting way, taking a courtroom as her setting and quizzing imaginary children about their needs. This clearly brought about a realization on the part of the student,as to what kind of pupils he would have to deal with and what he should be in order to cope with them. "The adolescent youngster," she said, "is one that needs extraordinary care and the attention he receives at this stage has much to do witli his future welfare." She talked of his habits, his peculiarities and his thinking and said that the textbook should be used as a guide with a wealth of material as a supplement. That the child is greatly influenced by the school buildings, the surroundings, situations, and the teacher's personality, conduct.. manners and mental ability was pointed out. Miss Beiswenger talked on the intermediate curriculum last Tuesday, November 20.- Next Tuesday Miss McPhersoir will speak on the rural curriculum. This will be the final instructive freshman assembly and at the . last assembly the students will fill out blanks as to the curricula thev have chosen.

The game, one of the attractions of Washington's Campus day wiy be played as a preliminary to the Washington-Oregon State clash this afternoon: In Coach Davis' Babes the Vikings are sure to find tough opposition, according to all advance dope. The Yearlings are rated as good a first-year team' as ever turned out ! at the Seattle institution; they have several of last year's Seattle high school stars in their line-up, and are led by a reputable hurler from Ballard. To spur them on, the young Huskies will have memories of the two 1927 encounters with Belling-ham. Both games went to Harold Keeney's undefeated nine- by comfortable ; margins. Davis, who coached athletics here in 1925, and had charge of men's physical education last summer, is well known in Bellingham, and can be depended on to turn out a team' that will make a creditable showing. Viking Prospects Good Neither team is favored by the »dope and either one of them may walk off with the victory. The Vikings are supposedly unbeatable when their heavy artillery is functioning but they have not faced much .good pitching thus far this year. With a strong infield and an . exceptional outfield; tlie Vikings appear to be a real baseball team, but have yet-to'face their big test. The Bellingham line-up this morning, in order of appearance at the plattei", is doped to be: McClurken short stop; Odell second base; Clark, cen-terfield; Wingard, pitcher; Johnson, leftfield; Smith, catcher; Thorlak-son, third base; Bailey, rightfield; Thorsen, first base. Weber and Parker were taken along for reserve. Meet St. Martin's Saturday Tomorrow afternoon, the Vikings meet the St. Martin's College Bangers at Lacey in their second big battle of the week-end. The Bangers are rated as favorites to take the mix in view of the fact that they are on their home field with a veteran team and two hurlers who have no-hit victories to their credit. '"Sleepy" Lorang, Ranger ace, is slated to start on the mound for the Laceyites, with Wingard again the probable Viking choice.

S. Cowan representative of the United States government, Forestry department, discussed before the assembly Tuesday morning in observance of National Forest Week. Motion Picture Showed His talk was first illustrated with a motion picture showing the many ways forest fires destroy vast areas of valuable timber. Following this* he cited the recreational values derived from the forests. Among these-he mentioned the. great enjoyment and thrill hunters receive in pursuing wild game which is only possible as long as forests are maintained. Dry weather causes 18% of the fires during a period covering fourteen days. These periods can be fairly accurately forecasted twenty-four clays in advance, which is only a very short time. Much precaution should be taken at this time of the season to avoid any possibility of fire. Last year the lightning played an exceptional part in the destruction of the forests; however, in previous years this agent hasn't done so much damage. Usually 84% of all the fires started during the year are caused by many and 66% of these started during the recreational season. A large number of fires are of-unknown origin. Humus Important to Forest Mr. Cowan explained that no harm would come from cutting the timber now standing if no fire had destroyed the humus or the covering on the earth in the timber regions. This humus acts as a sort of a sponge absorbing the rain water and filter- ARNTZEN TALKS AT LIBERAUUNCHEON Professor Edward J. Arntzen, of the Social Science department gave a talk at a luncheon of the Liberal Club last •'Wednesday on the subject of "The Pageant of American Civilization." In his talk Mr. Arntzen pointed out the outstanding institutions and activities of the American people, verify his statements with figures and statistics. He pointed out that a great* deal of money is spent in activities and gave the reason why. In stressing the main point of , the talk, Mr. Arntzen- said: "In terms of action the American people are seekers of material things, ndt as an end in themselves, but as a means to an end. The tremendous latent idealism in the American people lacks focus." Arrow StaflE Solicits Student Contributions it seeps into the streams. This covering keeps the earth moist, preventing fire and erosion. According to Mr. Cowan's figures there is a thirty year supply of timber in the State of Washington. Mr. Cowan laid much emphasis upon the fact that we could not take too'much precaution against preventing fires during th.e dry season, otherwise if the fires continue de-vasting great areas of timber our country will be like China, completely deforested. .

WORLD POLITICIANS TO SEND DELEGATES TO SEATTLE MEET The International Relationship club of Bellingham Normal school will send delegates to the international relationship institute, which will be held at the University of Washington in June. Delegates who will attend, will be recommended from the members of the International Relationship club, by Miss Cummins, advisor. All those interested in going as a delegate to this institute are urged to become members of the club. The speakers at this International Relationship Institute will be such personages as Mr. Charles Evans Hughes, ex-President Taft, and the president of the University of California. General discussions will follow the lecture. At a recent meeting of the International Relationship cl»b the following officers were elected: President, Turner; vice-president, Viola Poyho-nen; secretary, Virginia Bever; treasurer, Edwin Benedict. After election of officers the work to be done this quarter was outlined. Plans to reconstruct the constitution were made. An outline of a program for the entire quarter is being, planned. Student Co-op Has Experienced;!' Twenty Years of Rapid Growth By VERNON V. V I NE absorbing tnc rain water ana inter- In. 1908 the school nestled to its figurative breast the pride of its ing it into the ground whence later heart. "The Co-op". For in 1908 the Co-op was a struggling infant, gasping for breath behind hoop skirts and high collars. 1 he Co-op then was managed by a part time student employee, and thought no more of displaying typewriters, candy and compacts than it did of carrying tennis rackets and kodaks. Times change—the philosophers admit it. When the new Ford was first thought of, about 1908, the Co-op started to change, and never for any length of time, has the bookstore failed to advance itself in the amount and quality of service it has endeavored to give the students who own it. A romantic history—this story of the Co-op. Much too long to go into now and still one which would bear investigation.

In every club in this school the question which comes up for discussion the greatest number of times in any given period is undoubtedly this: "What are we going to do to pep up our club?" So many times is this, or some similar interrogation heard, that one comes to the conclusion that perhaps all is not well with the clubs of Bellingham Normal. Club members without number have asked whether clubs are really dying out, or whether the fault lies with clubs in this particular school. It is asked if there is any hope for the future of most of our clubs, when so many of them are slowly but surely going out of existence. Which brings us to the point of this editorial. And it is this: It seems to be quite generally true throughout the country that college clubs as usually thought of, are on the wane. Social, literary, and honorary organizations are dying what we believe is a natural death. Only departmental clubs, or those in which students with common aims meet together as an outgrowth of some common interest connected with their academic work, appear to be gaining ground, or even holding their own. Here at Bellingham, most students active in club work know what little interest there is in it. Meetings are poorly attended and have little of value to attract members. Membership is gradually falling off. • Club activities are not well supported. And then we wonder what there is ,to be done about all this. There seems to be only one thing to do, and that is to let each club go its own way, live if it be worthy of living, die if it is not. Once a club has lost the spark of its existence, no amount of effort will bring it back to life. It is evident that most of our clubs have lost that spark, and are going the way expected. It is not necessary to mention names, but it is no difficult matter to pick out these dying organizations. But Bellingham is not alone in this matter of clubs who have passed their hey-day. Everywhere we hear of clubs either disappearing naturally, or being disbanded by order of student councils or other governing bodies. The secretary of Philomathia Literary Society, one of the oldest organizations on the University of Wisconsin campus, which recently wilfully went out of existence, set forth rather well the status of clubs today, in the society's funeral banquet when he said in part: "It seems that literary societies went out' with the horse and buggy. With so many activities going on in the university, few men find time, or are interested enough to attend meetings." In other words, applied to this school—clubs are going out of existence because, with changing times have come changing interests, and club work no longer falls within the chief interests of the ordinary college student. So, why worry. If clubs are due to die, let those who will bid their farewells. And may those who continue, live and prosper. BarKs COLLEGE STUDENTS AND PRESIDENT COOLIDGE ON NICARAGUA When a group of college students representing leading schools of higher education fails in its attempt to interview President Coolidge on his Nicaraguan stand, is told that it shouldn't meddle in foreign affairs, and is stormed at by the President's secretary for daring to think and ask questions, wouldn't it be well to stop and consider ourselves? Are we taking ourselves too seriously? Are we just a group of children who must be told what we should do and what we shouldn't? Are college students of no real account when it comes to affairs of any import in the world about them? We leave you to answer for yourselves, knowing at what conclusion you will arrive. But read this article, from the New Student Service, and see what those in power think of us: "President Coolidge does not choose to discuss the Nicaraguan situation with college students. That is what a committee of four students, representing a larger committee of thirty from the most prominent colleges of the country, discovered when they went to the White House on April 16, armed with a letter of introduction. The committee got no further than the President's confidential secretary who read them a lecture on what students shouldn't think about. Not even the fact that one of he students was a member of President Coolidge's fraternity at Amherst carried weight with the Coolidge secretary. "Undergraduates have- no right to think, to meddle in foreign affairs, stormed the secretary. Furthermore, to intimate that something might be wrong with the President's foreign policy was no less than an insult. When one of the students produced a letter of protest against Mr. Coolidge's Nicaraguan policy, signed by a group of Mt. Holyoke students there was another outburst. For students at a girls' college to tell the president of the United States how to conduct the foreign policy seemed folly, indeed. They ought to know better than that. "With the senators the students had better luck. Eighteen of them were interviewed. Most of them were fatalists when it came to talking about Nicaragua. 'We've our hand in Nicaragua; we can't turn back,' they said. The.student delegation was of another mind, it is needless to say. For on the letter-head of their organization, named the Emergency Committee on United States Policy in Nicaragua, are the following objectives:(1) Stop the war in Nicaragua. (2) Immediate withdrawal of marines. (3) Invite the co-operation of Latin-American countries in supervision of Nicaraguan elections by civilians.

VICTORY P 0 I N M E 7 3 * 7 s CarverjS Men Make Valiant Effort During Meet, but Auburn-haired Flash Provided Punch; 21J4- "Red" Tatum, the one-man team from, the College of -Puget Sound, proved the undoing of the Normal in a close and hotly contested track and field meet on Waldo Field yesterday afternoon. ~~ . .. Displaying great ability and strength, Red captured high point honors by walking away with 21% points made by taking four firsts, and the relay. Jewell was high point gatherer for Bellingham, copping two firsts and a second. « The first event of the day was the 100-yard dash. This was the start of Tatm's wins, he performing the centum in a record time of 10:1, break-ftig th former record held by Henmii, at : 10.4. Cox was close behind Tatum and Henimi crossed the tape for third place. The second event, the 220-yard high hurdles was also copped by Tatum while :Korsboen earned second and Mosher C. P. S., third. The time for this event was : 17.4. •;' In the mile run Fassett cracked his own record with the fast time of 4:37.3. Norman Bright followed in second place and Brinkhan third. The 440-yard run was the third event for Tatum to win he also breaking the track record which he set last year. His time yesterday was :51.5. Jewell closely followed in second and Hendle C. P. S., third. Booth nosed out Tatum in the 220-yard low hurdles for first place and Bill Beeves placed third for the Normal. The men ran even up to the half-way mark but Booth forced his way ahead on the last two hurdles. The half mile proved to be the thriller of the day among the distance events if not among all events. Gallanger started out with the lead and held it for nearly the full distance. On the last turn Ilendle and Gallanger were fighting it out hard for, the lead when Jewell came from behind and flew by both men and broke the tape for first place. Gallanger nosed out Hendle for second place. In the 220-yard dash Tatum pulled out from second place towards the finish and nosed out Hemmi. Cox closely followed for third. The two-mile proved to be a slow race, but nevertheless exciting to the spectators. Tommy Mardsen led for seven laps with Brinkman closely- following him. On the straightaway opposite the starting place, Brinkman speeded up and passed Marsden and finished strong. Tommy became tired after the sprint and partly walked in, placing second. Eschermah was third. The time for the event' was 10:43.2. Erickson, a slight favorite over Temple of the Loggers, easily won the javelin with a heave of 185 feet, 5 inches. This is a record for the field, displacing the work of Win-gard, former holder. Four Records Broken Displaying wonderful form for the first of. the season, the two teams cracked "four records set on Waldo Field. Erickson set one in the javelin and Fassett put up a new mark in the mile. Tatum also carried this honor by breaking his own record in the 440 run and Hemmi's mark in the century. Both Coaches Pleased Head -Track Coach C. W. Hubbard •f the Loggers. and Sam Carver of the Npmral were well pleased witH the showing of their teams. The great strength of the college boys was already known in Bellingham and the Vikings made e. much, better Spikes .'. Cleats Rackets "Three Live Ghosts" are to invade the University of Washington, May 5. The invasion will be unsuccessful. A simple statement, 'tis true, but facts are facts. The three lefthanders, the boys that uphold this school's tennis honors; will play the Frbsh. The Freshman are good, exceptional, beyond the ordinary. They play fast'driving games and they are to play on familiar courts while the Vikings will be away from home, in unknown territory, and playing on distinctly different courts than the ones owned by this school. * * * * Cheney.Normal staged a big inter-class track meet the other day, and it was successful. The main object of the meet was to do away with the annual class battle, it being hoped that the meet would lessen the antagonism that prevailed between the two groups. Wouldn't it be an excellent idea for this school to hold such a meet? Maybe OUR official battle would not take place. However if the Sophs won, Freshmen, we would have to get revenge, wouldn't we 7 Myer Thai, the official taxi man for the Dorm girls, and Bob Fisher, the big boy that slings a mean pen for the Messenger (new name not known), have become so bold as to. insinuate that they have the necessary tennis ability needed to defeat lt;Ioe Hermsen and Elden Bond. They go so far as to acquire enough nerve to bet a milkshake on the outcome. All Gaul is divided into three parts, but we know of six dimes ($0.00) that arc to go four ways. This boy, George Lundberg, must be exceptional. Take into consideration his excellent looks and his baseball pitching ability. He is some chucker, evidently, as he pitched a "no run" game in the twilight league (after dark baseball) the other night.

BUY MOTION PICTURE MACH— The Science department of Belling-ham Normal has bought recently a new portable motion picture machine. General Electric and the Eastman companies furnished some interesting and useful films with this portable. The machine uses a sixteen hiTTIi-meter film. One good advantage tliat this gives to us is the fact that it is a portable and can be taken from room to room. This will be a good thing for teachers wishing to give illustrations and such along with their lessons. The Misses Marion Burnworth, Florence Maris, Fern Johnson and .Gladys Holmes motored to Vancouver, B. O, Sunday. /- o ;— Miss Jean Williams spent the week-end in Issaquah. • STUDENTS CLIMB SYLINE— Early Sunday morning an ambitious, group of five—the usual combination, four Normal girls and one boy—started the long climb .up to "Skyline Ridge.". They scaled the ridge to its top, and their efforts -were rewarded when they reached it, because of the sublime scenery, due . to the unusually clear day.' tobogganing down the ravines caused quite a comotion when Eileen O'Rourke got T. B. (Torn Breeches). It is rumored that she has fully recovered, but the rumors have not been verified. The climbers that effervesced with ambition were Ann •Mtira, Eileen O'Rourke; Jennie Sabol, •Lempi Koliand Al Brown. With the gay,' colorful atmosphere of the carnival and the magic word "Mystero-Jjtney," the Oregon Club, last Friday night staged its dance in the Big Gym. Fortune Teller Popular One of the clever features of the evening was the Fortune Telling booth, which vwas visited by many "curious students. Bright colored balloons and caps all shapes, added to the carnival idea.. Herbert Hess' peppy orchestra, played snappy numbers. Everything was in keeping with the gay carnival spirit. Even the decorations on the ceiling lent zest and color. The "Jitney idea", buying tickets upon entering and forfeiting one for each dance, proved to be the "something different" from %other school affairs. Delicious punch, ice cream dixies and eskimo pies were served during the evening by the refreshment committee. Latest Song Numbers Featured During the short intermission Jerry McKee and Norman Burchette sang "Memories" and the latest song hit, "Way Back When." Miss McJvee was presented as the "little girl" and Mr. Burchette as the "little boy" in keeping with the song "Memories." Before ten o'clock a good crowd, was enjoying the novelty of the affair. This is the second dance this quarter to be sponsored by the Web-footers. Preceding this one was the matinee dance in Edens Hall.

FACULTY RECEIVE VISITORS Constructive Programs Given by Pupils Each Day and Teachers Entertain with Story Telling. The faculty of the training school will continue an exhibit of toys, games, pictures, and books for grade school children today in room 239. T h e toys which have been contributed by merchants of the city, have, certain purposes to fulfill. For instance wagons, skates, etc., are conducive to physical activity; dolls, doll houses, etc., lead to dramatic play of rerfl life factors and blocks, paints, mechanic sets, etc., tend to bring forth creative effort and constructive ability. Purpose of Display The purpose of the display is to bring to the parents the value of toys in the life of the child and to show the variation of that value in t h e different types of toys. Toys, according to the idea carried out by the faculty, should be not so much things at which to look, as things that are flexible and easily changed. Thus the child's creative and original ability will be developed. There was the boy who having looked over a stuffed rabbit asked his mother "But what does it do?" Program Carried Out The program for today at 10:30 is. constructive with mechano and erector sets by the fourth grade; games by the rural school; experimenting, with chemistry sets, fifth grade; painting, kindergarten and second grade; toy orchestra, first grade; and stories by Miss Kinsman. The program yesterday exhibited the making of boats, fourth grade; block printing and musical instruments by J. H. S. Hobby club; experimentation with a chemistry set, fifth grade; games by rural school; toy orchestra, third grade; and stories by Miss Doty. Faculty on Committees At each hour of the display there •will be members of the training school faculty, assisted by city and rural school teachers, in the room to receive visitors. Letters have been sent to all the parents of school children in the vicinity, telling them of the exhibit and inviting them to come and look around.

CARRELL ATTENDS 'FRISCO CONVENTION OF SPEECH TEACHERS Mr. James Carrell, speech instructor, returned last Tuesday after a trip to San Francisco, where he attended a meeting of the Western Association of Speech, Teachers, on November 29 and 30. He left Wednesday, November 27, and motored down with Earle Wells, of the Oregon State College Speech Clinic, and Herbert Rahe, of Willamette University. The association perfected its organization at this meeting, electing Prof. Cagle of the University of Arizona as president. There were about one hundred speech teachers at the convention, from the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado. Plans were made to continue these meetings annually. WORD DIVISION OF CONTEST FOR NEW SCHOOL SONG ENDS Melody Writers to Work on Manuscripts Until Closing Date in February, Announces Chairman. LIBERAL PRIZES OFFERED Lyric Soprano to Entertain with a Variety of Songs. Appeared First as Opera Star in Europe. Marie Montana, world-famous lyric soprano and grand opera star, will be presented in a program of songs in the regular assembly next Tuesday morning, December . 10. Her recital will include songs of varied types and languages, since her taste is catholic in the extreme. Miss Montana, (whose real name :is Waite), made her debut as an opera star in Europe, where she obtained her first wide recognition. She adopted her stage name from •that of her native state, when she began her career as a profesional singer. Has Resonant Voice Miss Montana possesses a resonant voice, filled with richness and warmth, and her renditions are given in a free and effortless manner. She has superb control of the power of her voice, and her interpretations of musical. phrases demon- ' strate an unusual understanding of the art of expression. Her style is unique in its air of simplicity and sincerity, and adds tremendously to the impressive quality of her singing. To complete the list of reasons for her success, she is endowed with one of those engaging, natural, stage personalities that invariably serve to inspire and hold the interest of an audience. ' :';. The word division of the School Song contest closed last Saturday night, with six compositions of words and only two manuscripts of words and music added to the already large group of songs entered in the contest. Commenting on the contest, Edith Dyer, song committee chairman, declared that the words will be distributed to melody writers to work on before the closing date of the campaign in February. The English department is to be thanked for the work that the instructors did in helping with the v/ord division," Miss. Dyer declared, "As well as: the Art department, which is helping with posters. "So far in the contest most of the work of composing songs has been done by members of the Alumni. More of the present students should participate. "Copies of the words received will be made, and all people desiring to write music may obtain their copy from any of the contest committee people", Miss Dyer said. "Now that the words alone are in, we want music, and music and words. There is a wonderful opportunity for students to win glory for themselves and the school by working during the closing months of the contest", she declared. A brief resume of the rules follows: 1. Contest closes in February. 2. Song may be of loyalty or pep type. 3. Length of song is not stressed —except that it be complete. 4. Aid from music department or other musicians may be obtained, if desired. 5. Prizes: ; First, $40. Second, $20. Third, $10. o Instructor Returns to Resume Teaching •1M •• •• l M " " " * " ^**^—M^™g I CALENDAR I TODAY— I I 4 p. m., Rec hour. | | 8 p. m., P. E.

Baker Region Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday a group of well known figures at Normai spent their time hiking in the region of Mt. Baker. They were staying at Kulshan cabin-and lodge, owned by the. Mt. Baker club and the Normal School. They spent Saturday on the sunny side of Mt. Baker, where they indulged in a snowballing party. Those in the party were Miss Leona M. Sundquist, Margaret and- Marion Shepherd, Edith Dyer, Margery Horton, and Margie Wells, of Seattle. The gentlemen in the party were: Mr. E. A. Bond, David Morris, Dr. C. C| Upshall, and Mr. H. Slo-cum, of Whatcom high school. o RULE GIVES FACTS TO CUB REPORTER Miss Marie C. Druse, on leave of absence, will return to the- Normal to resume her teaching in the Art department. Miss Druse has been on extended vacation and has made an extensive survey of school and art institutions in the East. Returning here she will take charge of the new course being offered by the Art department next quarter, which is Art 1'05, and is a course in Art practice and appreciation for Junior high school curriculum. This course may be taken without any pre-requisite. o- -— JANITOR WELL.AGAIN Mr. J. C. Gwin, the janitor of the Normal school, will return next week. He has been seriously ill with diphtheria.. His work has been ably taken care of by Lyle Summers, who had his job for a few weeks at. the summeriquarter, v , ^ v gt; , Instructor in Mechanical Drawing Gives Insight into Trials and Joys Met in Architecture. Paul H. Rule, instructor of mechanical drawing, recently gave the writer an insight into the trials and joys that are being met by the embryo architects who are taking Industrial Arts 21. This is primarily an appreciation course, consisting of introductory work in perspective and the rudiments of plan drawing leading up to actual house planning. Some very commendable/drawings and blue prints have been made by members of the class. The material is not difficult, as it is intended for use in the Junior High School, and to the group now engaged in designing the floor plans of a model house it is proving to be vastly interesting. Many amusing difficulties present themselves when kitchen and bedroom arrangements do not make the necessary adjustments or when bathroom and living room coincide with too great ease. To the outsider the finished plans of a house may appear most simple, but the struggling artist must take a great many elements into consideration before his plans are perfected. Although there are few women students enrolled in this course, Mr. Rule recomlmends it to them as a good foundation in practical home arrangement. o : . Mrs. Mack Ewell, who, as Miss Barbara Dixon, was head of the Children's Library . here for two years, 1926 to 1928, has announced the arrival of a son, John Francis.

It looks easy. But if you want to run the whole gamut of emotion, if you want, to feel like a lion tamer or a human fly, if you want the sensation of walking up the steps to the gallows, if you want to feel what you have never felt before, try it sometime. W H A T IS Y O U R O P I N I O N? One instructor remarked in class the other day, "No school is a perfect institution. Schools must necessarily evolve out of the ideas of the faculty and student body. This will be a much better school when both student and faculty freely exchange opinions for the betterment of our educational, process". It is for this reason that the Northwest Viking maintains a Student Opinion department, and invites criticism of conditions about the school, in hopes that students may contribute to this "gradual evolution". •v This is your paper. You are taxed for it, and you make it. Why not use it to promote whatever changes you would like to see take place? During the pas't several quarters, interesting arguments have been conducted-through the columns of the Viking. Some have, and some haven't been for the better. But all of them have been fun, and say, we would like to see some of the criticisms heard in the halls and about the campus put down on clean white paper and allowed to circulate where everyone will have a chance to profit by them.

A N O T H E R C U R R I C U L U M RUB It is possible that the average student's personality development is sufficient when he graduates here to cope with oncoming and inevitable discipline problems in the little red schoolhouse? Should a course in the technique of discipline be added to the already long list of techniques— which most of us grant are so necessary? Possibly the personality idea goes over better in theory than in practice. Yet it may be true that this personality stuff is the kind of thing that makes the real teacher. Consider though the number of graduates who are able to take on this intangible teaching personality. Curricula are supposed to be for the student to think with. And thinking with only the terms of discipline, it is just possible that we do not think. ' A course of this kind should prove to^be at least a harmless experiment, and at the most a needed benefit. —G. W. L. I T ' S A RUMOR! Society lights of the campus take notice!

HUFFOKD PLACES Even though the University of Washington mentor was unable to produce a winning team he developed another ail-American. Merle Hufford, stellar sophomore halfback, was named as left halfback on the U. P. all-American football team, recently selected by 200 football coaches, officials, and critics. Hufford and Tappaan, of Southern California, were the only, players to be placed on the all-American from the' Pacific Coast. Although Hufford is the only player named on the team whose team lost every conference game is no reason he did not play outstanding ball throughout the season. It was the consistent outstanding playing of a player both defensively and in offense that entitles the players a berth on this noted team. This is undoubtedly the first time in the history of a ail-American team that a player has been placed on it whose team has been defeated in every conference game. * s « * SUPER VARSITY WINS The Supers are taking no chances of letting the Class "A" championship title slip through their fingers. They have won two games by comfortable margins. From all indications the Carverites are marching on towards another champion ship. SUPERS TAKE GAME FROM BROWN AND COLE SQUAD 33-23 Local Eleven State Champs Jayvees Defeated by Y. M. C. A. Quintet in Fast Game by Score of 24 to 12 on "Y" Floor. VIKINGS LOOK RAGGED ELLENSBURG GQOD Coach Leo Nicholson, of Ellens-burg State Normal, has this season the best material to mould out ..a championship hoop squad that the Normal school has ever been able to boast of. Last year, Ellensburg walked off with the tri-Normal honors and from all the present indications it looks very much as though they will repeat the trick again this season from the early dope. It is rumored that several of the regulars on last year's team are unable to keep up the fast pace set by the new incomers. It would not be very difficult for one to make Ms conclusions as to the strength of Nicholson's Wildcats. TRAINING SCHOOL STARS The training school has been turning out for basketball for the past three weeks under the coaching of Ray Odell, former letterman on the Viking Varsity. According to Ray, the training school has one of •the best teams he has ever seen in grade school. Ray has three letter-men around which to build a squad They are Sherwood Edwards, forward; "Chuck" Fisher, forward; and Dick Carver, guard. From last year's second team he has several good boys to fill in the vacancies left from graduating students. They play their first scheduled game with Roeder here this afternoon. The true strength of the team can be well judged by the outcome of this game. Class A Standings Won. Lost Super Varsity 2 0 Y. M. C. A 1 0 Brown Cole . '. 1 1 Marine Ways 0 1 Shell Oil : 0 1. Roland Wreckers 0 1 The Vikings broke even in two basketball games played oh the Y. M. C. A. floor, last Tuesday, the Super Varsity winning from Brown Cole, 33 to 23, while the Junior Varsity was defeated by the Y. M. C. A. quintet by a score of 24 to 12. The Super Varsity vs. Grocery-men contest was a lot closer than the score indicates. At half time Normal led by the narrow margin of 15-13, and the score was even right up to the last few minutes when several field goals gave the Vikings a safe lead. Vikings Ragged As a team, the Vikings looked ragged at times and the passing was none too good. The checking, however, was much better, Brown Cole having to be content with shots from the center of the floor. Eine led the Grocer's, scoring with 9 points, while Dixon was high point man for the Hilltoppers with 13 markers. AUTO RACING RETURNS Automobile racing is going to take an important part in Washington Sports, according to an article by Mike Donohoe of the Seattle Times. He states that plans are under way for the construction of a race track to be built near Renton and for the revival of racing in this state, which faded away some years ago when the last big races were- held at the Tacoma speedway. The projected track is to be of dirt construction, one mile long and banked fifteen feet on the turns The investment will total about $37,500, an amount which has already been made available. A permanent grandstand will be constructed to hold 8,000 people together with a temporary structure to accommodate 10,000. L. Kenneth Schoenfield, president of the Washington Auto Racing association, and George'Newell, both of Seattle, are promoting the huge enterprise. — o . The last of a series of four dancing lessons by Miss Leota Tischer were given Tuesday evening, from 7 until 8 o'clock instead of the regular Wednesday evening hour so that those going home Thanksgiving may take the last lesson. Demonstrations of the following dances were given; "The Famous Three-Time," "The - Step Waltz," "The Andy Ballu" (fox trot) and "The Ball Room Breakaway;" J. V.'s Not So Good In the class B circuit, the Y. M. took a loosely- played game from the Jayvees, the latter being way off form. No one could seem to score for the Normal and at half time the "Y" boys were ahead 10-4. Vic Hughes scored 8 of the "Y'"s total points while Eacrett was Normal's best bet with 5.

Using the Washington stadium as a Thanksgiving table, five thousand fans postponed their'turkey dinners to witness Fairhaven high school annex what was billed as the unofficial "state championship" when they literally passed to victory over the powerful Hillyard eleven of Spokane by the score of 7 to 0. The only score came late in the •second quarter, a . ten-yard pass from Captain Harris' to Einarson who stumbled over the goal line. Fairhaven made the try for point by the same pass, Harris to Einarson. Punts Too Short Hillyard's chances were ruined by short kicks from the toe of Hodgins, center, who twice put his team in a bad hole. After his second attempt, Fairhaven unleashed a drive that caried them to .the Easterner's 30- yard line. From there, Captain Harris started heaving footballs to Haickel and Einarson, one of which resulted in a touchdown. Hillyard temporarily rallied in the second half but petered out at critical moments- Midfield Game Save for the two marches by the Bellingham eleven into Hillyard's territory, the game was played almost entirely in midfield with neither team holding a decided advantage. Both teams showed a stolid forward wall. Wakely, Hillyard tackle, was all over the field, and in addition to mud, covered himself with glory. Prentice and McNeil played a nice game for the winners. o STONE SIGNED UP TO MEET ROWER 'S Two. Other Matches Also Lined up as Day for Big Show, With Both Wrestling and Boxing, Nears. SPECIAL BOUT PLANNED ALL-GOAST ELEVEN Plans for the biggest Men's club Smoker in history are progressing rapidly, and, according to the committee of Roy Sundstrom, Everett Stone and Al Brazas, an attractive bill of local talent is being lined up. December 16 has been set as the date for the big show which will take place.in the little gymnasium. So far the committee has Everett Stone and "Posy" Flowers scheduled for the main event. Both boys are supposed to be good and their bout should furnish plenty of action. In the semi-final, Les Voris and Art Brunstead are lined up to show what a couple of heavyweights can do. The only other match arranged so far brings together Al Brazas and Ed Hunnicutt. All together there will be 5 boxing matches of 3 rounds per each and four wrestling matches of two 5- minute rounds. On top of this Jack Musser is going to meet an opponent yet to be picked in the big surprise of the evening. The card is going to be chuck full of action and should be well worth seeing.

Fast playing, combined with the breaks of the game gave victory to the ever-grasping Panthers and paved the way for the large score which they rolled up. The teams were evenly matched the first half but the Koch brothers, playing at half and fullback, respectively, for the apple growers, alternated in harassing the Redskins ends, and their long gains, combined with a passing attack that looked like a miniature battle of the Marne, showed the superiority of the visitors and defeat for the local eleven. Whatcom Stars Barnhart and Swanson, Whatcom backs, were the big guns for the Redskins, and several times reeled off large gains which put them within scoring distance but didn't have the push to put it over. The field was somewhat soggy, but fumbles and slips were not too many to spoil the game. Three University of California football players and as many more from the University of Southern California won places on the 1929 all-coast first team. St.- Mary's Stanford, Oregon, Washington, and Washington State each placed one man.

AU-American Named In order to be chosen for this year's all-American eleven, a player had to perform not only well but consistently. He had to stand up through a grueling season, and be a real tower of strength to his team.

Fisher addressed the assembly Tuesday morning, December 3, on the timely subject of curricula. His talk, coming toward the end of the quarter when students are planning their "schedules for the coming term, was of special interest to the freshmen, as Mr. Fisher discussed the various courses of study in detail in an attempt to help those who are in a quandry as to the wisest placing of their teaching abilities. Problems of Choice This school, offering primary, intermediate, upper and rural school curricula, presents the problem of a choice of one of the four. This makes possible a certain degree of specialization which will better fit students to teach children of different age levels. Mr. Fisher mentioned the two elements to be considered in preparing to go out in the teaching field; one being the demands of the school outside, what the principals and superintendents expect of those they employ, and the other being the nature of the children of different ages. Greater Demands The teaching profession now has greater demands placed upon it than'formerly. At one time, a school teacher could "get by" with very., little real knowledge by the drill and memorizing methods. Today, however, a breadth of knowledge and learning are essential, and according to President Fisher, we are rapidly approaching the point where four years of preparation for teachers in elementary schools will be required. The knowledge of children even in the lower grades compels teachers to keep progressing in order to compete with them. A great deal of damage may be done by an all-prepared teacher, and for this reason those who are best able to direct and stimulate the minds of their pupils are far more desirable than those who are not. Advanced Cases Cited Mr. Fisher stated that for those who are planning to leave the two-year Normal course and proceed further in another institution with a view to teaching in high schools, the grammar, grade curriculum should be the one to choose. He stressed the fact that a forceful and positive personality are essential in teachers dealing with upper grade students, while other characteristics would be more important in primary teachers.

O P P O S E Keplinger, Benson, and Isaacson Comprise Veteran Lettermen; They will be Mixed with Subs. Coach Sam Carver's varsity hoop squad will open its 192S schedule Saturday night at 8 o'clock, in the Whatcom High gym against the fast Heater Glove five., leaders in the Seattle City league, and rated as one of the best independent teams in the Northwest. The Vikings are doped to have an excellent team—one at least equal to last year's state Tri- Normal championship outfit—a n d should put up a strong fight against the fast Seattle team. Coach Carver will have a squad of nine men in suits Saturday and will probably shove all of them into the fray in an effort to find the best combination. Three lettermen, Earl Keplinger, Art Isaacson and Harry Benson, together with six supers— McClurken, Harper, Erickson, Ray •Jewell, Clarke and Anderson—will form the tentative varsity. With several new men of promise out the past week, and George Benson, letter-man of two years ago, back in school, the permanent personnel of the first string will probably remain undetermined for some time. Heaters Have Fast Men The Heaters will have witli them some of the classiest hoop men in Seattle. Although still undefeated in the Seattle City League, they have been completely revamped sin.:e theii last game. Their probable iine-up against Normal will have Ciiet Duett, who almost made University of Washington varsity, at the tip-off berth, with Larry Kamm and Johnny Gaffney at the forward posts: Kazis Krauezunas and Ron Bekine to fill the guard positions. Hard Schedule Arranged Following the Heater Glove clash, the Vikings will engage in hard campaign of at least one game a wceki all during January and early February. The Washington Pros], will clash with the Vikings January 20 in their game away from " big home games of Ellensburg on Jamsarv 2( Cheney, January ;jf.—will follow.

The next unit will be the new gymnasium, to be constructed on the Athletic Field, where the baseball diamond is now situated. A new athletic field across the road from the present one is another unit which will be undertaken in the near future. Two Student Delegates Return Home From Detroit Convention Normal Representatives, Milton Fields and Grace Lytle, to Student Volunteer Convention Held During Christmas Vacation, Arrive Last Evening. OF CONTROL SELECTS MANAGER Milton Fields, sent from the Normal as a delegate to the Tenth Quadrennial Convention of College and University Leaders, which was held in Detroit recently, returned to Bellingham last night. Crayce Lyllle, the second delegate, slopped in Ellensburg to spend a belated Christmas with her parents. Milton slates, "We had a fine time. I was fully pleased with the conference." This meeting Was attended by over four thousand college and university leaders, delegates from foreign schools, missionaries, and authorities on various subjects which were brought up before the group. The subjects which were discussed, according to Milton, were the possibility of outlawing war, the treatment of the foreign student on the the American college campus, armed foreign intervention, and the mis-sioondry problem. Milton slated that no effort Was made to come to a definite conclusion with any topic, the aim being mainly to arouse a consciousness of ils existence in the student bodies of American colleges, so that the students might work out Golda Abel Will Fill Vacancy on Staff of Year Book.

Flood Brings Out Story of Noah as Normalites Splash to School Lo and behold, a turkey rose out of the gravy and fluttered twit-ieringly, bearing in its beak a branch of mistletoe, uttering excited tweet-iweets as he circled' above, and Noah climbed ou{, scrubbed the mud off his ark and bought a can of valspar.

Rather than these meetings being forum in type, they were called "colloquiae", a term coined at the meeting. The greatest benefit of the meetings, according to Fields, is found in the improved relationships and understandings between colleges, nations, and races, insofar as the students are concerned. He cited a specific example of the latter, telling of a delegate from Alabama who had never seen either a Chinese or Japanese person. Updn this delegate's return, her report will undoubtedly point to this new knowledge, probably being favorable to the Oriental nations. The entire treatment of the sub-, jects taken up was more than satisfactory, according to Fields, who stated "We looked at things from a different angle.. We adopted a world outlook on these matters, rather than restricting our outlook to the confines of one college campus. Everything was taken up with a broad-minded viewpoint." When asked whether he considered the convention - to have justified its existence, Milton declared that he was unable to answer, saying that he was sure that it had been beneficial, but that a, direct reply to the question was impossible, it being something one felt, but could not express. The delegates from the Pacific Coast went to the conference on a special train, but, because many stopped off on the return, only two special coaches comprised the added conveniences of the .group, one, a Pullman, being for general use, while, an ordinary "day-coach^ was provided' for:discussibrisi; : ;^^^', lt;•' Golda Abel, recently elected business manager for the 1!)2S Klipsun, will take up her new duties with the collection of club payments for their annual pictures, in the near future.

On Japan Issued UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle, January.—The latest number of the University of Washington chapbooks, "The Journal of lvenko, Musings of a Japanese Qoheleth of the Fourteenth Century," presented and commented on by Dr. Herbert IT. Gowen, professor of Oriental Studies at the University, throws a light upon the old social order of Japan and points to a similarity between the thoughts of Kenko living in the fourteenth century and the Jewish writer of the Old Testament book Eeclesias-tes. A New York critic of international standing is of the opinion that this series of booklets, edited by Professor Glenn Hughes of the University English department, will take its honorable place among the few artistic-ventures of its kind of which the country can boast. The first printing of the chap-books is limited to 500, as is each printing thereafter, Professor Hughes said. The first ten. books are already in their second printing. They are on sale in the larger cities of the United States. — — o —:— •' UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, January—-"Approximately 6,500 students were registered in the Univer-. sity. of Washington for the winter quarter by Saturday noon, December 31, according- to a.

Although completely outclassed, in the initial period the Supers came back with venom and all but turned the tables on their husky opponents in the final , canto. ' - Starting off like a cyclone, with Clinton JfcBeatli sinking several difficult long shots, and Elmer Herb c. spinning them in under the basket the Y soon piled up a substantial lead over the bewildered Blue and White hoopsters. The half score was 30 to 16 in the winners' favor. Undiscouraged and determined to '. retaliate, the Supers came back in the last period, setting the Y. M. C. A. athletes back on their haunches, making them play a defensive game. /The 14 point handicap was shoved -/down gradually to 11, 9, 5 and with less than a minute to go, down to one lone marker. Had the timekeeper's whistle been delayed for one minute the situation would probably have been reversed. " The Supers' play on the whole was ragged. Not only did the team lack the usual co-ordination but their shooting was far below par. When it came to speed and snappy passing the Vikings were there, but when it came to converting goals they were completely outclassed. Although the / Supers did not have' any shining stars, Harold Hawkings, their center, .was high point man with 12 to his credit. Harper and McClurken, the usually heavy'scoring forwards, were ; unable to find the basket. Improvement was noted, i however, in the play of "Sw^de" Anderson, who • played a fine,checking game against McBeath and accounted for six points himself. : Wednesday's contest was a playoff for the title, both teams having been tied for the lead at the end of the schedule.

The first game after the holidays, in the Intra-mural League was unique insofar as that it'absolutely defied a foreign custom, v The "tight-fisted" Scotchmen presented the fighting Coop quintet with 34 points while they, themselves, were granted but 18 markers. This is suposedly unusual. Legoe and (Keith, both "dark-horses," were the mainstays of the winner's offensive playing, with 11 and 10 points respectively.. One,, of the Class B men, Roy Arnett, contributed 8 scores and also played a commendable checking game by keeping the otherwise star, Joe •-Hermsbn, Jr., from making more than two baskets.

The final ,outcome-of this fast, interesting to watch game was in favor of the.Krew, 27 to 24. The Kitchen Boys are. to be congratulated for the fighting spirit they seem to possess. After dropping two games, they came back to win their last two games, giving them a percentage of .500. "Hank" Durr, again, proved to be •a remai-kable hoopster, by making seven points and also by playing a good team game. Walter Weber and Stan Thompson contributed 8 points each to the final outcome^ The Low Stars played well together and really looked good, but they lacked that necessary spirit to win. Aside from Gray, there were no individual stars on this team. Gray, playing consistently, was a "victory" for the Low * Stars.

After leading for more than three quarters, the Oilmen weakened and allowed "the Teachers to work through their defense for the winning points. The game, in the last few minutes, was one of the most/ brilliant and exciting contests of the entire "Class B" year. The Teachers, by eliminating the Shell Oil, afforded the winner of the following contest with first place for the first half. A Jayvees Defeat Y Notwithstanding the fact that one of their stellar guards, Milt \ Meek, was out of the fray, the well-ccWhed Normal outfit handily donated a defeat to a Y.M.C.A. team that was playing on a familiar "floor. The "Y", although they looked good and performed well, were playing way over their heads when they met the Junior Varsity of the, Bellingham Normal School. The Jayvees, playing a close checking game, held the usually heavy scoring association cagers to 25 points, while their scoring machine functioned smoothly, rolling up 42 points. Fisher Outstanding Robert Fisher, center for the Junior Varsity, was high point man of the contest with 16 points. Bob, playing his usual checking game, was a red and yellow, the Jayvee's colors, flash that could not be stopped. He was in every play, which partiarly accounts for the lowness of the Y's score.. Theo.

"- Roy Arnett, local librarian, was a star for the loosers making three field goals and three foul shots. He was the mainstay of the Y.

WtlSflfflitiifM TAUGHT CHILDREN Ppstdffice Is Unique Feature Used "in Training School for Purpose of Instruction and Amusement. Other ends than the mere supplying of stamps and the like may be gained by apostoffice, as the. second •grade-of the training school has proved. The' desire of the children of the class to construct and manage some sort of a commercial enterprise has not only provided much enjoyment for the children, but has also been a valuable aid to the teachers in the, instruction of .oral language, numbers, spelling, composition, and penmanship. Last fall the children decided that some Nsprt' of a business was a desira b l e feature in.class work, and after much discussion of the matter, and consideration of various types of merchandising establishments, it was decided by popular vote to have a postoffice. The results of this endeavor are more than evident, both in class work and in the shop constructed entirely by the students. Investigations concerning the work done by a postoffice, the manner in which it is carried out, and the arrangement of a postoffice, are all reflected in the work of the children. Equipment included a full fledged office with desks, chairs,, booths, letter slots, and mail boxes. In every respect the work is correct and shows painstaking effort in its construction. All the work done was performed by. the children, measurement playing an important part, thus aiding in number work. The painting of the office was' also done by the pupils. Following the establishment of the office, a postcard and a stamped envelope were bought, these serving as models for the class to work from. The stock of the office now includes stamped envelopes, made by the pu- 'pils, even to the cutting and pasting of the paper, stamped postcards, also made in class, and student-made two-cent stamps. It is planned later to have stamps of different denominations. Letters are written by the members of the class to each other and to their teachers, who always reply, and to members of the first and second grades, who have been invited to participate J n this activity. The letters written must first pass an examination by the teacher as regards composition, spelling, and neatness. Change is given the students by the teachers with which they buy their writing supplies. An accurate record is kept by both the student and the .postmaster, both of whom later report to the teacher. This is an-other way in which the children study their numbers. Each week a postmaster, clerk and postman are elected by the elas.s from the five or six who have made the highest '-'grades that week in their numbers. The class' discusses the duties of the positions, and the qualifications of the nominees. To he a postmaster, the class decided that the student must know his numbers, be able to tell time in order to keep regular office hours, iind be able to read well in order to prevent miscarriage of the mails. Letters which bear unreadable addresses are consigned to the dead letter office by the postmaster. In speaking of the benefits of the endeavor, . Miss Mildred Moi'fatt, training teacher, staled: '-The children learn to handle real money in a lifelike situation, and come in contact w'fth real situations and real merchants." ~ -^-o PATRICIA BOYD PLAYS IN TUESDAY ASSEMBLY Miss Patricia Boyd will present a piano recital here at next Tuesday's regular assembly.

Harvard U Plan of Vagabonding Proving Popular NEW YORK.—Harvard's plan of educational "vagabonding" has been winning enthusiastic receptions in other colleges, with consequent, attempts by many college editors to bring about similar arrangements in their own institutions. The vagabonding is simply a matter of attending interesting lectures in classes besides those in which the student is registered. To enable the students to choose, the Harvard Crimson each day publishes a directory of worthwhile lectures, from which the students make their choice. Harvard students had long followed this program, but their daily has crystallized the practice into an extra-curricular activity. President C. C. Little, of the University of Michigan, while recognizing the excellent scholastic motives behind vagabonding, predicts that '"'it is likely to have disastrous effects if carried to the extreme." If not permitted to interfere with regular class work, lie views it as legitimate. Thespians Install New Officers for Present Quarter Officers of the Thespian Club were elected for the present Winter Quarter just previous to the close of the past term. Fred Lagger is the new club head, with Irene Schagel as Vice- President, Myfanny -Jones, treasurer. Miss Schagel, who is the retiring President becomes by virtue of her office, chairman of the program committee. Among the social functions* which will feature the quarter's activities for the club will be the annual Thespian Homecoming Banquet- held on Washington's Birthday. On this occasion a number of the. old Thespians of past years are back to renew friendships. -—.»• •-».

RICE, Bellingham In a nation such as ours, where each and every individual is a component part of the government, nothing is quite so important as that every voter have sufficient educational training to enable him to think and act intelligently in passing upon officials and measures submitted to him for approval. Our neighbor, Mexico, furnishes a horrid example of an attempt to carry on a representative form of government without an enlightened electorate. At the very beginning of our national existence, we hear George Washington saying, "Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In pnmortion as the structure of a government is forced to follow public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened." Has this admonition been carried out by our government? Not in any serious fashion. Every other important phase of our national life has been recognized by dignifying it with an executive department with a secretary in the President's Cabinet, but not so with education. We find the President's official family now to consist of ten secretaries, seven for administrative purposes and three for promotional reasons, the latter being those of Agriculture, Commerce and Labor. To this latter class by all means should be added a Department of Education with a secretary in the President's Cabinet, The education of the people has been left largely to the several states without any central fountain-head of definite information and practical plans for the best procedure in any of the various phases of the problem of educating all the people. Haphazard has been the rule. What has been the net result? The last census tells us that li out of every 100 uf our population above ten years of age can not read and write. Germany and Denmark have only 2 in 1,000. while nine other European countries rank higher than we do in this respect. The United States has more than 5,000.000 illiterates—a greater number of people than the whole population of Australia. Army officers found during the draft for the World War that one out of every four of the picked men between the ages- of 21 and 3] could not read a HIGHLAND CREAMERY CIS High St. Groceries Fruits Confections ALSO Silk Hose and Undies SHOE REPAIRING Over 30 Years Experience as a Shoemaker Normal Shoe Repair Shop ..L.

It is deplorable not alone because of the loss in efficiency to both the nation and the individual, but from the ranks of illiterates three out of four of our criminals are recruited and these people are in so many cases easy tools for the manipulation of the corrupt politician. Many will be surprised to learn that this illiteracy is not confined largely to the southern negroes. The facts are that more than 3,000,000 of the illiterates in the United States are whites and aboutPPPPP

Word comes to us from the South American countries of Argentine and Chile that each is going to begin a huge school building program at once. For instance, the National Council of Education in the Argentine, under the orders of President Irigoyen, is going to spend nearly two million dollars in reorganizing their primary school sys-eim. The republic of Chile has even a larger program. Along with this reorganization in its school system, it plans to spend seven and one-half million dollars for the building of six hundred schools which will extend from its Peruvian boundary in the north, to the cape in the south.

The University of Oregon is establishing a so-called "International House" to be composed of students drawn from the many foreign countries This house will open early next fall, it has been announced by its student chairman, Leland M. Fryer. The purpose of t h e group will tie" furthering of international friendship, and broadening of viewpoints brough by actual contact. The highest peak in registration for the universities of Germany was reached last summer when over 8 0 , 0 0 0 were in attendance. This figure did not include 40,000 students who were registered in technical and like institutions. The University of Berlin lead in totals, having nearly 1 1,000 students. It is significant that there are 12,000 Women students in the republic' * * * * Bellingham Normal was represented internationally when just yesterday the International Relations club here was the guest of the International Relations club, of Vancouver, B.

While interesting and congenial contacts were had with these Canadian students, it was also a privilege to be shown the famous Canadian Memorial church, the University of British Columbia, and the quaint foreign sections of the city. W. S. N. S. A little aside from the subject, but an equally important one, is the opportune announcement by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, that the twenty-one national parks containing a campus of over 12,000 square miles, is to be opened up this summer as the play and workground for the universities and Normal schools of. the country. This super-university of nature as planned by a committee of eminent educationalists and statesmen would offer studies in natural history, forestry, geology, anthropology and other subjects related especially to the national parks. -W.

Tarbox and Odell Will Publish Students' Directory. Dinner Week Tomorrow Evening Opens of Festivities Which Will End With Commencement Day. Beginning with Alumni Day tomorrow a season of activity for the graduating sophomores will occupy next week. It will close with the thirteenth annual commencement exercises in the Normal school auditorium on Thursday. The week includes, besides Alumni Day and Graduation, the first annual Play Day, Baccalaureate, Class Day and a faculty reception at Edens Hall. The Alumni Banquet, to be held in the Edens Hall dining room, tomorrow evening at 6:30 o'clock, will probably be the,largest affair of its kind yet to be given. All of the graduates are invited as guests of honor. A delightful and varied program is promised and dancing will conclude the evening. The baccalaureate sermon at 4 o'clock,. Sunday afternoon in the school auditorium, will be preached by the Reverend Dwight Smith, of Bellingham. Wednesday, June 5, will be class day. The exercises will begin at 7:30 p. m., and will be followed by a reception for graduates, their parents and their friends, in the Edens Hall 'blue rpbmV' gt;-. The reception is. Students who attended the recital by Vera Ginnette and Chauncey Griffith at the Garden Street Methodist church, Tuesday evening, heard a truly remarkable program of piano and organ music. The program included two two-piano numbers: "Scherzo," by Saint Saers, and "Blue Danube Waltzes,-' which were exceedingly well executed. Chauncey Griffith played a group of piano solos of which "Polonaise," by Chopin, was most outstanding for its depth of expression and beauty. Vera Ginnette also rendered a group of solo numbers which proved highly popular with her audience, the number, "Bourree," by Moszkowski, receiving probably the greatest applause. An attractive feature of the program was a group of organ selections by Chauncey Griffith, including "Toccata," by James H. Rogers, which was probably the best appreciated of the group. The last group was four "Blue Danube Waltzes," by Strauss, Ev-ler, Schultz and Chasins. This was the most beautiful selection of the program and displayed the remarkable talent of these two young artists, both of whom are students at Normal. — o-. Viking Out Wednesday The editor of the Klipsun for the term of 1929-1930 will be Bernice Gnagey, freshman girl, who was awarded the contract at the regular meeting of the Board of Control, Monday afternoon. Miss Gnagey will be editor-in-chief, and have the responsiblity of publishing the book, which this year has been handled by Naomi Chase. Oren Tarbox and Milton Odell applied for the contract to publish the student's directory in the fall of next year, and the contract was let to them. Donald Stickney was granted the concession of the illustrated souvenir program that is published in the fall for the homecoming week festivities and football game. o— I n order to establish closer relations between their various departments, the Misses Theresa Gunther, Grace Moore, Pearl Merriman, and Mr. Herbert C.

' "And the wind will die down in the streamers And the spires will fall with the nightfall But a door will open—a light fall On a street that is peopled with dreamers." The poems in this book are full of good philosophy clothed with graceful and unique phrases that are peculiar to Marion Strobel. This is a poet- who has lived through joy, sorrow, pain and love and this tiny book of poems reflect all-this.' Miss Strobel takes us down into her city "peopled with dreamers" and gives us a taste of a dreamers' thoughts. Her ' philosophy comes out in this poem "Truce." She says, "You are victor now. wins Is he who kills the bruised." But he who body he has ^^^ww^wuwwwwww^ SIDE LIGHTS ON CHEHEYTMP wwvwwwwwwwwww MEMORIAL DAY 'Tis all for those whose martyred blood Has stained brown sod,—that we might see The blessings of humanity, We bow in our humility.

Though 'tis the merry month of May, tonight will see a big thaw on the Normal stage, when the members of the Drama club present then-quarterly play, "Icebound." The tense dramatic plot originated by Owen Davis, will make the most phlegmatic person grasp his seat and breathlessly await the climax. The play is one which contains not only heavy dramatic situations but is also cleverly interspersed with select bits of humor. "Icebound", besides having all the qualities of an excellent dramatic production, is cleverly interpreted by the several young Thespians in our institution. Florence Kern is the little servant girl, Jane, wins the audience, with her sweet, unaffected ways, as well as the affections of Ben Jordan, the guilty, black sheep of the Jordan family, cleverly and winningly enacted by Barney Chichester. With these wo well-known dramatists taking the leads and with the other fine actors making up he play, "Icebound" should be, especially under the direction of Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, the play of the year. Tonight and next Monday the Drama club of Normal is producing this play in the auditorium a 8:15. ''Is my face dirty or is it my imagination ?" "Oh, your face is clean enough." CAUGHT IN THE CORRIDOR or HERD IN THE HALL (This is only the first of a series of too many serious articles to appear in this space).

Her assistants, including little Suzanne Cissna, rounded out the program in such a way as to provide a pleasant and enlightening morning of diversified entertainment. There has been a great deal of favorable comment on both this assembly and the one given by Vera Ginnette preceding it. Miss Philippi and Miss Ginnette are to be thanked and congratulated on providing such an excellent hour of entertainment, which so definitely illustrated their skill as talented musicians.

CONGRATULATIONS The Klipsun, this year, is an annual that everyone can be more than proud to have in his or her possession. Its rich, beautiful cover is symbolic in itself of the contents of the book. The many pictures, the colored plates, the general arrangement of the material, all go to make up an annual of which we can proudly say, "this is my annual, the yearly representative of my school." Naomi Chase, we feel, has concluded a year's work with a high degree of satisfaction to all concerned. We are proud of the Klipsun this year, Naomi,.and we thank you and your assisting editors as well as Glen Fairbanks, who successfully managed the business end of it.

When any of the visitors walked around the campus or met any of the Cheney fellows in the halls they were greeted with a smile, and a cheerful, "Hello", showing the fine spirit of friendship fostered by the Cheney students. We find that our "sister" institution "across the state" sponsors a " h e l l o week". Let this school take a helpful hint from Cheney State Normal School'and profit by this writing. Anyway, all the fellows had a good time and appreciated the friendship shown to them by the si udents of the Cheney school. • : • . -. :,'•:' — E . C. C. Count Satton De Pincushion, in an interview today, expressed himself as emphatically in favor of the new spring styles. This morning the count looked rather despondent and blue, though this may be due to the custom he has of using bluing in his bath. When questioned as to the number of people in Urabia, the count was non-commital and shyly remarked that it is impossible to count to ten on one's hands For, as he aptly puts it. "You have to use one digit to count with." The Count has been working on his fingers for some time and attributes his success in this line to a very small beginning. He will be on his toes from now on. Just the other morning he met his wife at breakfast and said, "Oh, Countess". Here the Count chuck-eled reminiscently over the lady's haughty reply: "Why, there is only one of you, Silly!" * f m if There, there, Horace, of course female isn't supposed to rhyme with tamale. * »; * * "That teacher repeats himself." "Howzzat?" \ "I woke up twice yesterday and both times he was telling the one about the Scotchman who had a Scottish Rite to ask a Freemason to build his house". I LOVED YOU BEST THE DAY YOU MADE ME FEEL THE LOVELIEST. How true! We like people best who say nice things to us. How We like the person who makes us feel that the World could not rotate without our presence. We stood on the beach at Fort Casey and watched the spray form the ocean dash high above our heads. The sound was angry that day. Foam ran high out of her green fretting mouth and she roared at us, mere atoms under her chin. The soldiers at Fort Casey planned to "spot" our ball team after the fourth inning but we were not informed just exactly when the fourth inning began. w The final score Was five to one with the Thespians at the long end of the score. TWO OF OUR BOYS TAUGHT COUPEVILLE TENNIS, ALSO. We wanted some jnilk before six o'clock so "Bus" Jomes spent all of one afternoon looking for some non-union cows. The next time you go into a restaurant ask for "Creamed Soupe on Toast." It's a Grieves, Young concoction. We came home with the idea that the world was full of good sports and beautiful places. Someone said to us "Its so easy to get into a thing but its the coming out that usually catches us." Which started us to thinking again. w How many times as a youngster have you climbed a tree only to find that you couldn't gel doWn? How many times have you Wormed your Way through a hole in the fence only to find that you could not gel back ? How many times have you climbed up into the tree of Circumstance only to find that you were caught? We usually return to the ground again but not without a great deal of shock and pain. w But is it not strange that each returning shock does not make us more cautious when we want to climb again. w "There., were ..fifteeen ..thousand antique Chippendale chairs shipped to America last year" states a magazine cartoon. w Are Americans really silly raving people? Or are the cartoonists merely looking through glasses with distorted lens at life? Hurley, we believe it was, who said "Life is like a game of chess" and we often agree with him.%..But have you ever noticed the grotesque Student Opinion Have you ever looked closely at the strip of uneven grass in front of the library? If not, then do the next time you go past and you will see what I saw, an untidy litter of candy wrappers and other waste paper. And our grand clean-up of Campus Day only a month past! Why should it be thrown there at all? Why could not one wad up the candy wrapper in his hand and put it in his pocket until he reached a waste paper basket to put it in? Some students already do that and would not think of throwing ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 May 31 - Page 3 ---------- A^HINCHW Sport age Vikings Win Tri-Normal Championship At Cheney ERICKSON SMASHES HIS OWN JAVELIN RECORD; HIGH JUMP RECORD ALSO GOES Vikings Take Relay to Win Meet by 1 -point Margin; Cheney Second; Ellensburg Trails a Low Third. w HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by Coach Sam Carver's cinderpath artists upset the dope when they emerged a one-point victor in the annual Tri-Normal track meet held at Cheney, piling up a total score of 56 points to Cheney's 55. Ellensburg, winner of last year's meet, trailed in the dust with only 20 points. A strong wind and a soft, loose, sandy track made poor conditions for the races,.so consequently the time was slow in all the races. Just before the start of the high hurdle race one gust of wind was so strong as to tip over a third of the hurdles. The Vikings r an off with five first places and the relay The meet was close between the two leading schools all the way through.* The relay, probably the most spectacular race of the day, decided the meet. At this time Cheney had a four-point lead. Carver started Howell as lead-off man. He took the lead, gaining all the way around giving the baton to Carboneau twelve yards in advance of Ellensburg Carboneau added another eight yards, Eagan five more. Axel-son running anchor man beat Grant of Ellensburg, who won the quarter, by another twelve yards to finish approximately 35 to 40 yards in the lead. First Win in Two Years This victory marks the first Tri- Normal championship that the Vikings have won in two years, having been defeated last year in all the five major sports and this year in the other four. The Vikings were extremely strong on the track, placing two men in every event except the quarter mile. Cheney, however, had . much more power in the field events. Erickson High Man "Chuck" Erickson, the tow-headed Viking from Marysville, was the high point man of the meet with fourteen points, taking two firsts, a second and a third. His outstanding performance was in the javelin, when he broke his own record. Gravrock's performance of a. 170 feet was noteworthy as it indicates real, power. Erickson's heave was the best that has been made in the state this year outside of the throw that Kibby, of Stanford, made. I n the mile run Norman Bright walked away from Pelley to win by 35 yards in fast time considering the conditions of the meet. Bobby Carboneau closely pressed the highly rated Cheney star In the 440 Axelson, Bellingham's star quartermiler was nosed out of second place in the last few yards. Grant won the race for the third consecutive time. In the 100 Osborne, of Cheney, hroke badly but Hemmi all but made up the handicap in the last fifty yards. Cox took a close third. Hemmi injured himself by a fall over some spectators who got in the road and was weakened so that he could only1 take second in the 220. Axelson also placed in this race. Erickson upset the dope to win the high hurdles from Nixon, Ellensburg star. In the half mile Howell took the lead closely followed by Melvin Eagan, Carver's dark horse entry. With 150 yards to go Eagan passed How ell to upset the dope and win by two yards. Embom, of Ellensburg, trailed the leaders by fifteen yards. • The two-mile run was a closely contested race. Brinkman and Bright followed Pelley for almost eight laps. In the last fifty yards Brinkman uncorked a terrific sprint and simply walked away from Pel-ley for a fifteen-yard lead. Bright slipped around on the inside of the Cheney star when he wasn't looking and beat him by two yards. I n a spectacular low hurdle race around a curve Bob Cox nosed out a second by inches. Oberlatz, Bellingham's entry in the discus, took fourth place. CHARLIE HORSE Ladder Tournament Remains Unchanged With exceptionally fine tennis weather, and the nearing of the end of the tournament play, the Viking racqueteer's ladder tournament stands in relatively the same place as last week at this time, with Thai in first place; Erickson, second; Church, third, and Cox, fourth. The rest are placed in the following order: Parker, Prendergast, Legoe, Fairbanks, Ludwig, Cram, Hermsen, Leen, Springsteel, Gross, Goddard and Keplinger. o— THAI TENNIS AGE. RETURNS AS WINNER Thai Wins Singles Championship at Cheney Tri-Normal Meet; Played Deep Because of Wind. The Viking tennis team returned, from Cheney Monday evening after a successful if not victorious trip. Sid Thai, Viking ace, returned with the singles championship for the State Normal schools, after defeating Mar Thiel, the star of the Cheney courts, 6-2, 6-3. Thiel is high in Eastern tennis circles, and rated with West, being last year's Cheney champ who won the Tri- Normal event, by defeating "Bob" Fisher, of Bellingham. The games were played in a high wind and this proved a handicap to brilliant tennis. Thai outplayed Thiel in most departments of the game. Both played the net for deep smashes and "rills," but used slashing "chops" and cuts' because of the terrific wind at the time. "Ham" Church was defeated by the Cheney second man to even the count. Church lost the first set, rallied to take the second, but dropped the third and deciding set. Church was badly handicapped by the wind and could not control his shots at critical moments of the game. Thai and Cox defeated the Ellensburg doubles team, 6-3, 6-4. This match was well played with the Bellingham squad using the "chop" game while the Ellensburg team showed a drive attack that was very impressive. The Viking, doubles team then "took on" the Cheney team composed of Thiel and Erickson, but were defeated, 6-4, 5-7, 7-5. This was one of the best matches of the tournament and showed sparkling rallies on both sides. Thai and Cox lost the first set to the Cheney team Sunday morning after the game had been postponed Saturday evening because of rain. The Cheney Indians then forged ahead in the second set and had the Viking team five games to one. With one game left the Thai-Cox combination rallied to a\ terrific pitch and took six straight games to win the set. The third- set found the Vikings in the lead, 5-2, and here the Cheney team "pulled" their rally, which the Vikings could not stem. With the score 6-5 against them, Thai, who was serving, lost his serve and Cheney emerged the victor in the "freak" match of the tournament. Cox showed up well in his serve and steady placements while Thai's dashing net tactics and .brilliant rallies seemed to mystify the Cheney doubles team in the Viking rally of the second set.

WE'LL SAY THAT IS PULLING A DARK-HORSE STUNT, INASMUCH AS CHENEY WAS DOPED TO WIN. The real thrill comes from Churck Erickson. He is one Viking who always Hoes up to expectations. This time he set a real mark for future spearmen to try io match, when he put the javelin out over 186 feet for a new record. That is the second ..time in two years that Erickson has broken the Tri - Normal javelin record. Last year he set a new mark and this year proceeded to smash his own record. * « gt; gt; $ But that is not all that the big blonde did. He was not satisfied with one victory, but stepped • out and took a first place in the high hurdles, and further added to his laurels, a second and a third place for a total of fourteen points, and high point man of the meet. Another outstanding Viking runner of the meet is Eagan, a real dark horse in the meet. He came to the front and took the first place in the 880-yard run. And our track men are not .the only ones that deserve honorable mention. Sid Thai is the only member of the Tennis squad who came through with a win for the Vikings in the net tourney. This is Sid's first season of varsity competition, and by virtue of his victory, he wins membership to the W Club, local lettermens organization. It seems that the Vikings had a little hard luck in their tennis matches, and the eastern teams walked away with the tournament. There will be lots .of fun this evening when the W Club initiates its new members out at the Larra-bee State Park There will be a class of nine candidates to go through the process of initiation. * * * * The W Club will welcome into its membership the following men: Thai, and E. Cox, tennis letter winners; R. Cox, Eagan, Axelson, Howell and Brinkman, winners of track awards; while in baseball there are only two new lettermen, Lundberg and Rodland. Coach Earl Jewell, leading twirier for the Tammany Tigers, found little support behind him and the Mens Club, led by the invincible Harry Benson, downed the Tigers in the intramural game Monday afternoon. * * * « That makes the sixth game that the Men's Club has won this season. * * » « It looks as if the Mens Club Would take the intramural championship in baseball this year. They are certainly going after it. They feel that they were sort of hooked during basketball season,' and are determined to take the intramural diamond crown. * * * * Speaking of baseball the Thespians were out on a week-end party last week, and their club ball team gathered enough steam to take the Fort Casey soldiers into camp. Speedball The Frbsh had a surprise for the Sophs in last Monday's Speed-ball game by defeating them 20-10. Sophomores were quite sure of a victory but they were handicaped by having three players short. Alice Bab cock did some good playing—coming in at the right time with her kick. Sollie, Jenkins, and Johnson had a combination in passing that stumped the Frosh. Wednesday's game will prove interesting as the Sophs expect to have a full team, which will give more opposition for the Frosh. VIKING TEAM MEETS U. OF W.
