XXIX—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON TYRANNIZING TEACHERS ENGLISH IVY CLUB BOOM YE PROFS DIARY —Ray Craft •• •» Friday, March 14f 1 ? 3 0 : ^ i l f l l IRISH IS A GREAT SUCCESS i%'£% Earl W. Anderson, in the March issue of The Atlantic Monthly, comments on the growing revolt among teachers against the restrictions that are placed on their personal lives by the people of the communities in •which they live. He makes the point that teachers are required not only to conform to the general standards of the community, but are subject to the petty tyrannies of a dozen different prejudices, running from bans against smoking and dancing, (either men or women), to the entertaining of friends of the opposite -sex, or the failirre to entertain them. W E SELECT NEW VIKING EXECUTIVES Next Monday, Positions of Editor, Business Manager of The Viking Will Be Selected At Meeting. CONTESTANTS CHOSEN TO SPEAK AT WINTER EXTEMPORE CONTEST FEW APPLICANTS IN RACE "Fettering of teachers tends to dehumanize them, and to force from teaching many of the wide-awake, stimulating and wholesome men and women in the profession," declares Mr. Anderson, in his article, "Hamstringing Our Teachers." "Active, exuberent boys and girls will not accept personal leadership from negative, fearful and lifeless teachers, whose opportunities to develop enthusiasm and vibrant energy have been suffocated. The very filing which should be most valuable in teaching—moulding the lives and interests of the pupils,—is thwarted T gt;y the prohibitions to which teachers are so commonly subject. Young people receive the stimulation they must inevitably seek from other and less desirable sources, because "the teacher is 'different.'" Commenting on the various petty regulations that are forced upon teachers throughout the country, Mr. Anderson concludes by saying: "Slowly people are coming to realize t h a t the public schools need active, alert, enthusiastic teachers who themselves enjoy life, and who stimulate enjoyable activity through their personal magnetism and keen interest in others. All occupations seek such people. The number which the public school will draw will be in proportion to the removal of restrictions which now make living Jess attractive to teachers than to those in other professions. Those ' true leaders who do go into teaching will be found in schools that allow teachers to live normal human lives." W. S. N. S. According to George Daak, our versatile head gardener and man-about- the-campus, in an intimate interview this week, the staff of landscape artists who have been cutting away the English Ivy from the main building haven't been plotting against the beauty of Nor mal. "The ivy should be trimmed every year in order to insure its healthy growth," Gebrge said. "It hasn't been trimmed for several years, however. In two or three weeks the leaves will be out again and the ivy will be as green as ever." Three Board of Control Positions Open for Candidates; Election to Take Place Next Quarter. As a rule, during the life of various movements, regardless of their nature, competition tends to pep them up—and as the choosing of incumbents for several school offices naturally involves competition — things are becoming or are soon to become, peppy around the Board of Control office. Next Monday, the applications for three student positions will be taken up, namely those of. Northwest Viking Editor, Business Manager, and the Secretary of the Board. So far only one candidate for each of these three positions, has signified intention of placing his application. Ray Craft, Gordon Leen, and John Moawad', two of whom at present hold the jobs they seek, are those entering the contest. The race for President of the Students' Association and Representative, also promises to have much spice. This election doesn't take place until the start of next quarter. According to the rules applying to the old tennis courts, no playing will be allowed on Sunday. A discussion arose as to whether this applies to the new courts, and the Board decided that as far as they were concerned they felt that playing should be allowed on Sunday, with the exception of the hours between 10 and 12 in the morning. They will submit this resolution to President C. H. Fisher, and if he passes on it, it will be taken in as a rule. The preliminaries of the Extempore Contest were held last Thursday at 4 o'clock, with the result that six of the eighteen who are entered were chosen to speak in the winter quarter finals, which will be held in the assembly next Tuesday, March 18. At this time two of these contestants will be awarded first and second places, and will later enter the Spring finals to compete against Queritin Quick, Eleanor Langworthy, and Spring quarter winners. The winner of the. entire contest will have the honor of having his or her name engraved on the silver loving-cup, kept for this purpose. The winners of yesterday's preliminaries are as follows: Alice Burk, Helen Fitzwater, Charles Gerold, Virginia, Howell, Louise Lilienthal, Bob Walters and Virginia Ward. They will receive their topics for the final contest Monday at 4 o'clock, in room 308. FISHER BACK FROM ATLANTIC CITY TRIP GRIFFITH IS PRESENTED IN SERIES OF RECITALS AT ST.

(Continued on Page Four) THEATRE GUILD WILL GIVE COMEDY SOON "The Butter and Egg Man," a Play by George Kaufman, Will Be Given During First Week of April. George declared that the vines on either side of the entrance to the main building were planted by the class of 1914-15, and that the vines on the corners have probably been Jiere since the school was first built. "Ivy is slowing growing, and can't be worked into the landscape overnight," he added. ^ And, now that we are talking about ft, Normalite challenges any school in the United States to show a more artistically balanced and well kept campus than we one we have spread out here in front of our old Alma Mater.

Theatre Guild production of 3eorge- S. Kaufman's great comedy •ensation, "The Butter and Egg Vlan," which will be given here durs. ing the first week in April. Th# play, vhich is being played for the first ;ime on the Pacific coast, is being presented under the direction of M. Deane Seegar, who has had a great leal of experience in the dramatic :ield, having come to Bellingham from the Garrick Players of Chicago, Illinois The cast will boast some of the finest talent that the Northwest has to offer, including the following: Frank Reno, as Peter Jones. Mr. Reno gained a great deal of recognition with his portrayal of "Clarence," one of Booth Tarkington's greatest characters. Will R. Mock, Jr., who plays Joe Lehman, the high-pressure promoter. Ethel Little, as Jane Weston; Dorothy Taft Burch-ette, who plays the hard-boiled Fanny Lehman, wife of Joe, the promoter, and Frank Locke, formerly of. the Normal. Katherine Schupp Burpee, formerly of the Players, will appear, and Herb Hess, as Oscar Fritchie, will give one of the cleverest performances in the show. Glenn Goddard, Betty Morse, Lorney Dufrain, and Kash Szyman-ski, will make their debuts befoi--? the local audience. "No place looked so good to me as Bellingham," declared President C. H. Fisher, upon his return here last Wednesday afternoon, from an Eastern tour that began about four weeks ago, having left February 16. President Fisher went East for the purpose of attending educational meetings in Atlantic City, and the White House conference on Child Health and Protection, to which he was appointed by Ray Lyman Wilbur. He visited schools in Maryland, Ohio, and Illinois, and interviewed a number of educators, for the purpose of lining up new teaching material for the Summer session and next Fall. President Fisher first went to Atlantic City, where he attended ^the sessions of the American Association of Teachers' Colleges and Normal Schools, and of the department of superintendence, National Education Association. He addressed the first named association on "Selection of Students for Teaching." Poses With Hoover I n Washington, D. C, President Fisher was one of about fifty educators that attended the White House conference. They were greeted by President Herbert Hoover, and he posed with them, while a group of photographs were taken. The conference, which lasted two days, was opened by Secretary Lyman D. Wilbur, after which followed a discussion in which President Fisher took part. I n the opinion of President Fisher, the conference is certain to be most beneficial since much work was outlined and great results are anticipated. Pres. Fisher is a member of a sub-committee whose chairman is Dr. William C. Bagly, of Columbia University. —-o- O. S. C. Debate Team Defeated By Normal Concluding the 1929-1930 series of Musical Artist Course concerts, Mina Hager, mezzo-soprano, will appear in a recital in the First Christian Church next Monday evening, March 17. She comes to Bellingham in the course of her fourth transcontinental tour in the past two "years. Was Church Soloist Miss Hager was born in Madison, South Dakota, and her first singing as a soloist was in Mid-Western churches. While at Dakota Wesleyan College and Huron College, she gave recitals in civic, academic and church circles. At the completion of her college work, she went to Chicago and continued her study of music. • She sang with the Chicago Opera Company, and was a soloist ao Chicago's Apollo Club and the North Shore Festival. After an American tour with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she visited Europe. She sang in London eight times, and gave several recitals in Berlin, Paris and Switzerland. In Berlin, she was soloist for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1925, she became an artist of the National Music League, of New York City, and has since continued to tour under its management. Success In America Since returning to America, she has appeared with unqualified success as soloist with the New York Oratorio Society, the Worcester Music Festival, the New York Symphony Orchestra, at Chautauqua, N.

Creative expression, creative teaching, and creative thinking are some of our often-used expressions. Creative expression is one of the finest and most worthwhile ideas that our school systems have ever introduced and our schools should provide much more generous opportunity for this than they do at the present. Repetition for the fixing of facts and skills is undoubtedly still too marked a feature in the school room. This is not so true in our training school, where experiments for the betterment of creative expression are constantly taking place, but is only too true of the many schools of which we become the instructors. There is still too little incentive or opportunity for the pupils to conceive ideas and attempt to embody them in external form and then even when expression is called for it is apt to be a matter of routine. "Self-expression, like self-activity, is not a new shibboleth, but it describes, nevertheless, with much accuracy precisely the sort of thing the schools can and should strive to foster in all children, everywhere. It does not call for a unique quality that only the few are capable of, nor demand more critical acumen than the teachers, as we know them, can exercise. It is not sensational and makes a poor warxry, but the aftereffects of its use will probably be good," says the editor, of the Educational Methods in an editorial comment School ALL U P A N D DOING ON T H E W E S T E R N FRONT Rec Hour today.

Some of the weekly current magazines have been giving quite a lot of space to the new ero of mechanism. The establishment of a new department by a large industrial corporation, which is to devote its attention to ways and means for developing the all-automatic home, so that housekeeping will be reduced eventually to the pushing of buttons, has raised no little speculation on the future. The corporation has its eye on the distant future, but even now, some important beginnings are marking the start or this new era. gt;. The advent of the mechanized household is but a small sample ot the transformation now well under way in almost every field of industrial activity. William Scroggs reports that since 1919, the amount ot primary horsepower employed in American industry has been increasing, twice as rapidly as the population. With the coming of the mechanical age, men are becoming more idle and wages are taking a turn for the lower depths.. Finally, the coming oi the robot means replacing with skilled, tireless labor the only partly Great readjustments are taking place. Few people have been able to live at the time of the adjustment and have.been able to conceive the direction of its movements. You know, an author, if he wants to describe a village has to go to New York to see it correctly. With the possible exception of Turgenev, no one has been able to determine the "Whither-bound"—of his century. Labor unions are not resisting the introduction of the improved machinery, for they know that on the whole, labor usually profits by any change promoting the welfare of society. It is the individual that is hard hit. It is sometimes difficult and the situation of general welfare brings little comfort to the aged worker, who finds himself jobless. At any rate, in our profession of teaching, there is little danger of being displaced by robots—still, while we are merely speculating on the .future—we may have "canned knowledge" taught in the far future or, perhaps, some new genius will invent pills of knowledge so one will not be troubled with a lot of study, but can swallow a pill of German and have the first year in German in the mind. (I'll bet it would be a bitter pill, though.) As, well—since we are not Turgenevs, how can we know where the future leads to? Why worry? HHZ3H BRAINLESS BITS Well, here y're, studes... Oy-yoy-yoy, why does spring have to come at the same time as the end of the quarter? Tennis and term papers becoming interesting to a guy at the same time! Wotta helluva combination!

A Little Story We Heard In her day, she could have married, anyone she pleased—but she didn't please anyone. —o— Yes, we managed to find another of those comprehensive descriptions of musical instruments this week. This one happens to be in the flute. Although you've all seen and heard flutes on many an occasion, we'll bet you never dreamed of the true nature of one of the darned things. Get this: "The flute is a cylindrical pipe of grenadilla wood cr metal, corked at one end, and pierced with lateral holes closed by about three hundred intricate keys. It is played by directing amore or less steady stream of wind at an elliptical aperture near the name plate, at the same time wiggling the fingers resting on the more important keys. Most of the wind thus directed escapes harmlessly over the top, causing a draft which keeps the musicians in front of the flute section in a continual condition of rhinitis (cold in the head, if any.) "The tone of the flute may be a reedy whistle, a dry hacking rattle, a mild and mellow oodle, or a sound ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 14 - Page 3 ---------- OFFICIAL CALL IN SPRING TURNOUTS Lots of Material In School Bnt Coach Carver Is Greeted With a Small Number of Aspirants. SIXTEEN TEAMS IN ; ^ STATE TOURNAMENT FOUR LETTERMEN BACK In actual practice, it is hard to make a mountain out of a molehill, and no one knows that better than Sam Carver, who is attempting to turn out a track team with few Iettermen on hand and an unusually small number of aspirants turning out. An official call was issued for track turnouts Tuesday,! but there was little or no response from trie students, and the list of those turning out remained the same as it had previously been, which can be counted on one's fingers, and with a slight surplus remaining. There is lots of material here in school, and even though many have had no experience, track is something that can be developed into one in a short time if any inclination is shown toward it. There are a number of scheduled meets coming, but it will take more material on hand to build up a representative squad. Those turning out at the present are: Erickson, Carboneau, Egan, and Brinkman, Iettermen, and Flowers, Duyff, Eacrett, Abshire, Faulkner, and Shelton. SPORTS BANOUET TO BE HELD TONIGHT The Awarding: of Letters and the Announcing of All-Star Teams to Feature Program at Banquet. Sixteen teams got underway yesterday in the three-day annual basketball tournament held at the University of Washington pavilion to determine a state Champion. Twenty-six games are on tap to decide the first eight place-winners. Bellingham's two entries, Whatcom and Fairhaven, both drew tough assignments for their opening contests. The Redskins played the strong Walla Walla five, while Fairhaven faced an equally hard team in Centralia. Should they get over these hurdles, they will have a good chance to place in the upper division. North Central, of Spokane, Ko-quiam and Everett seem to be the tourney favorites, considering their past records. It is of interest to local fans that Barney Chichester, an alumnus, is coaching the Foster High entry in the tournament. o- W. A. A.

On the sidelines of the Whatcom gymnasium is a set of balance scales. Proudly above them floats the unowned city grade school basket-. ball pennant. This afternoon at 3:30, two champions will play the one and only game to decide who will take home the gonfalon. For several months five teams have been using all sorts of methods and the main part of their ingenuity in trying to get tickets of admission to the Whatcom gym, but only two solved the problem. Lowell provided their way of getting in by winning the first half of the league. The Normal training school hoop-sters saw their way clear when they nosed out Lowell in the final game of the second half. One pound will be awarded to each team for every free throw that they stretch the net with. For field goals two pounds will be given. After the final whistle has blown the two teams will set their awards on the scales and the one that can weigh in the heaviest, will receive the mythical pennant for the '29-'30 season.

They didn't fall in, but rather they went swimming and of their own free will.- This is just the beginning of a very eventful—but let us continue with the story. It all happened when 19 girls, three P. E. faculty women, .and George Dack, started on the mail boat early Saturday morning, bound for Viqueen lodge, the W. A. A. gijls' Summer camp. The program included work toward the building of a fireplace and a general cleanup of th egrounds, but many events unscheduled entered into the day's activities. i lThe trip going over was exciting beyond words," says several members of the party, and from the pale, weak-kneed effect many presented on landing, one could easily be led to believe that they meant what they said. Having arrived at the lodge, people thawed themselves out as best they could and then the work began. Rocks were hauled the greater part of the day, but promptly at noon everyone stopped everything and got to the serious business of discovering mangled sandwiches in secretly dark corners. Then there was the swimming event and a heavy baseball game and even bridge and—but as far as everyone can see, that was enough; in fact, it was almost too o 20 YEAR AGO ll was rumored that somewhere within the walls of our spacious library stronghold a complete file of Weekly Messengers (Northwest Viking) existed. "A ton of 'colyum nuggets" excitedly exr claimed our editor, "get them at any risk". . I dashed out of the office and over to the library, all the while careful to stay on the sidewalks. I located the files and got enough material for a "colyum" in "manya" issue. Yes, got them in true reporter style, but whew, what a chance I took. Not wanting to be too ancient, I started taking my material from the 1910-'ll- and '12 issues, so, from now on we will discuss the approximately twenty years ago news. Sunset Garden W. E.

Miss Maude Scheerer's "dramatic recreations" were greatly enjoyed by the students at the two assemblies in'which she gave them. In the special assembly Monday, Miss Scheerer read two- plays by Martin Flavin, "The Criminal Code," and "Broken Dishes." "The Criminal Code" is a very intense and dramatic play which illustrates the code of the civilian to the convict and the code of the convict to the civilian. The intensity, the tragedy, the pathos of the play were marvel-ously portrayed by the dramatist. In Miss Scheerer's dramatization, one felt and almost saw the unswerving hand of Pate reaching out and grasping the young, helpless convict..The intensity and supreme irony of the last.act gave Miss Scheerer a chance to show her "Wonderful dramatic ability. gt; "Broken Dishes" was a clever little play about the coup d'etat of Cyrus, the henpecked husband, against the monarchial rule of his wife, Jenny. John Galsworthy's play, "The Skin Game," was. as well done, in the regular assembly as the two plays of the day before. The spirit of the play is the antagonism between youth and old age and between the old, wealthy quality and the new, industrial rich. Miss Scheerer's interpretation of the character showed a sensitive insight and a sympathetic understanding. ; In her one o'clock lecture she spoke of the importance of enunciation, pronunciation, good English and voice for teachers, and gave some illustrations of how to use the voice correctly. The two o'clock talk was devoted to the reading of contemporary poetry and a discussion of its merits and: faults. Miss Scheerer spoke favorably of the modern trend, because it was capable of expressing all phases of life in all ways. She read "Patterns," by Amy Lowell, and "Renascence," by Edna St. Vincent Millay, two very modern and beautiful poems. "Dauber," by JohnMasefield, and "John Brown's Body," by Stephen Vincent Binet, are her two favorite poems. '• 0 : BOARD CHOOSES EDITORS (Continued from Page One) £LUB flflfl^ Plans for a picnic to take place last night .were discussed, and it was decided to hold it at State Park, on Chuckanut Drive. Boynton, Thue, and Rich were those appointed as a committee to handle the affairs. •; Mr. Victor Hoppe was given the use of t h e Board of Control lockers for his play work. These lockers are placed back stage of the auditorium. Rich and Kuzmoski were appointed to take care of the placing of trophies in a suitable case. The W. A. A. submitted a proposed change in their constitution during the middle of the quarter, but due to other business this had not been brought up. I t was read Monday, but no action was taken on it. As a parting gift to the students the Board of Control will stage the regular Rec hour this Friday afternoon, and then on Saturday evening they will handle a special Rec hour in t he big gym, from the hours of 8 to 10. The regular Rec hour orchestra will play for both these occasions. Incidentally, in regard to the music, the Board announced themselves in favor of the hiring of the present Rec hour band next quarter, and although all the present members won't be serving next quarter, they, a re putting it down in the minutes as favoring such action. The Tri-Normal meet, which is held here every three years will take place next May. Heretofore, programs or booklets for it haven't been published, but Gordon Leen and Jack Greaves have made application to put them out. Leen is to appear at the" next meeting with an outline of his plans, and in all probability they will be accepted. A slight conflict has arisen in r e gard to the big gym floor. I t is primarily for athletics, but is also used for dancing. Floor wax is urged by the dancers, while it materially hinders and is dangerous to. t he Physical Education work. Nothing has been done about it, although the Board" favors the wax, and probably will continue to put it on lightly, .as they have done in the past. Dr. A.

' gt; But we forgot all about his sum-linary. Who wouldn't forget him-k self though; in the presence of this surprising prexy.

"The purpose of this issue", Ray, Craft;,editor of the Vikirig, declared, "will'.'be- to'deteiinine whether such-an addition to .the Viking can'be published, satisfactorily, arid whether it will be welcomed by the graduates '.of the school. It is our belief that such; a publication would, if it could be published,periodically, tend t o unite more closely the alumni who are teaching,; and the faculty arid students of the school "who are experimenting .in the educational field, or who intend to enter it upon graduation." y The supplementary publication will be "tabloid" size, five columns wide, and will coritain such material as the results of recent expermients in education, book reviews, alumni news, and stories of gerieral.interest both to alumni and Normal students: ..';•••'.' Dolly Anderson, former editor of the Vikirig, has assumed a great" deal of the responsibility of the work, as weir as Eileen Runnals, who has reached a great number of graduates through a questionnaire mailed out last week.

This is the second issue of, the paper this school year and is. being edited by Charles Fisher, Jr., son of President C.H. Fisher. ; He is assisted by a n editorial staff- and a riumber of reporters. All the work with the exception of the typing and the printing, which is being done by the mimeograph department, is" done-by the children of the training school • The paper contains stories, poems, and drawings, /all done by the children.

Thirigs go from, bad to worse until the mother saves her son from the authority tell us that teachers meed libraries. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to begin a library is to "vamp" by trier use of "knockout drops", which she obtains from an old.sea captain. The play produced keep our textbooks instead of turning them in at the end of the quarter. Textbooks are valuable, not only because of the scope of material they cover, but also because we are familiar with them through months of association, and they will be found to be among the finest scources of information when we are in need of it. Textbooks used the two years at Normal will make an excellent nucleus for a professional library. S T A Y IN SCHOOL Well, here. y'are, studes. Can you beat it? Tomorrow is•". Memorial Day, and we get. off! kinda nice, we guess. No, we're not-irreverent. We know what this day is set aside for,' arid we think of it, too; and we sincerely •; believe in 'the idea of reserving this one day for memories of fellows who gave up everything for our sakes But still—it's going to be a swell day to rest up, isn't it? Y'knbw,' a term paper could just as well be written early as late. It would be no more work and a lot less worry... Maybe some people do write 'em early... We dunno... Anyway, we never do... We leave 'em to the very last minute, and" get our full share of the frantic., digging that leaves us haggard and worn when they are finally handed in. By handling them in this way we work ourselves into a harried, half-crazed state of mind, lose a considerable quantity of sleep,., and., accomplish in the wa^ of learning a surprisingly small amount. ..Maybe sometime we'll learn better. In the ancient and honorable language of the Chinese^there is a certain sign which is translated to mean woman. The self-same sign, taken twice,- means quarrel; and again the same sign taken three times means gossip. Interesting, isn't it? —o— By simple mathematical computation, we found that a Chinaman, writing in a Jiand of ordinary legible size,., would., consume., about three and one-half sheets of 8x10XA inch note-book., paper., in., writing "ladies' afternoon tea". And he would need to use only one character. —o— We continued our arithmetic, but we were unable to find how much paper a Chinaman would want if he were to write "Edens Hall". The only result we could get was infinity, which is a very indefinite and altogether unsatisfactory .-answer. - Of course, because he 'would still need only the one sign, his task would be simple, .although doubtless extremely irksome. Maybe, if he knew enough about" mathematics, he would make convenient use of an exponent. Anyway, it would be interesting. Some people came up to us the other day and with tremendous enthusiasm related to us a story of how they had been so annoyed by a couple of faculty members who sat in front of them at a recent Drama club play that they had been forced to change their seats in order to properly enjoy the play, and, oh dear, oh, dear, is this the way the faculty acts and so on. We listened patiently, giving occasional sympathetic glances and occasional understanding hods, and they left us, confident that the faculty at large was in for an unmerciful razzing at our hands... Shoot, we're sorry they got the wrong idea. -We're all for the faculty. i The - following description of a bull fight was , forwarded ' to the Viking by Guy Springsteel, former Normal student, who has been vis-r iting: in South American countries during leaves of absence from" his services in the American-Merchant Marine). •; I believe that the most disgusting sight that I, saw' in all Peru was a bull fight. This-is a very old Spanish sport which* is suitable .to the Spanish''. emotionalism. , Only Peru, Argentina and Mexico patronize it any more in the new world, but- it is far from dying out. , One sweltering afternoori.I walked inquisitively into the ancient; :buil ring, into which millions of bloodthirsty ^Peruvians had poured since the time of the.Spanish Regime. I really expected to see a huge stadium but to my surprise the highest and cheapest, seats were much closer than the ringside seats at a boxing match. • / • • They have a pecular method of selling seats. There are two prices; north side or cheap seats and south side or dear seats. The former are seats "a sol" and the sun, sand the latter seats "a ombra" or shade. Then they have another distinct-type of seat. You cannot find the equal in all our stadiums. These are the "custras" or rooms which cost very much and are found directly beneath general admission seats. They are used by the richer families or young adventurers. The room's floor lies a little below the level of the arena, while there is an opening out upon the field about two feet high and the width of the room, which gives suiffcient vision. • I t was rather • picturesque to see the sills of ;these openings covered with- gorgeous Spanish shawls and madly excited Senoritaswho cheered the game in a most frantic manner. They claim that one can see much easier from such a position, but I failed to get the point. The only advantage to my mind was the privacy allowed where they could have plenty, of drinks handy to help out the enthusiasm of the fight. Sharp on three-thirty, after the President, of Peru had seated himself, the chief toreador led the march of the bull fighters across the arena. Each one passed before the President to give him a gracious bow including the general flunkies or "Monosabios"—(wise monkeys). As the gates of the bull pen swung open a .terrified animal rushed out into the -circle. Immediately he made a wild dash for a red cape which one of the assistants was waving furiously. As the bull rushed at the cape the man stepped politely aside as the bull plunged into the red object: They repeat this sport several times till the bull gets wise or . sees red (I don't know which). Anyway, he Stops!. .;,:-:-."; v;:: ".''.',',..; When this stage of the- game is reached i t . i s necessary to enliven the bull's anger. [ This is accomplished by letting a "Picadore" ride an old horse out into the ring/ The animal is blindfolded, and the man is armed with a long sharp lance. As the bull sees a new object in, t he arena he rushes furiously" With a. powerful push he shoves the poor horse into the air as the "Picadora" attempts to drive his lance deep into the bull's side. The .animal gorges the blindfolded creature unmercifully, lacerating his flesh and puncturing its sides —a most repulsive sight. , This part is soon over even though it did seem a week in passing. Now the bull fighter shows his skill! He takes in each hand a sharp pointed barb which is gayly decorated. After attracting , the bull's attention by lifting these into the air he runs towards the animal; at -the same moment ' the furious beast. gallops to the bright colors. I can only marvel' at these dexterous men in this feat. As the two beings., meet, the toreador jumps into the air, and slightly turning himself to the bull's left side, he lands clear while two bright streamers bob painfully upon the bull's sturdy shoulders; They call this kind of a fighter a "toreador a pie" or a foot toreador. Sometimes they also fight from on horseback, this is a "toreador a caballo". I happened to be luck .enough to see Spain's only nobleman who is a "toreador a caballo". This latter method is more dangerous because there is the added duty of. placing a six-foot barb (instead of a two-foot) and directing the horse also. When the Judge of the games considers that the animal is sufficiently dazed he has his bugler sound the death knell. Every one hushes now! The" toreador, with the red banner in his left hand and a sword in the.right, advances cautiously. The' beast stops and re-, gards his enemy. This is the supreme moment! If the fighter cannot succed in killing the bull in one, or two thrusts he is,. according to American terms, "booed" off the field. The Peruvians are more polite though. Instead of crying out at the performer they quietly pull out their pure white handkerchiefs and gently wave them as a sigh of disgust. Venting a loud roar the bull plunges at the - banner! Quick as lightning the toreador jumps to the left side, but his sword, at the same moment, dipped to. its hilt in the beast's neck, where it touches the heart. Once more a bull is vanquished!? Again and again the game is repeated until ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 30 - Page 3 ---------- r. BERT BASEBAL TEAM TAKE* TRIP This week-end the baseball team |will wind up the season when they |meet the U. of W. Frosh at Seattle |on Priday at 2 p. m., and the- College of Puget Sound on Saturday at 2 p. m. So far the team has been rather unsuccessful as far as winning games go. They have won 1 out of $ games played. If the team can manage to win these two games •they will end the season with a 500 ^average. The team has been handicapped the past two weeks, due to 11 inch t 1 bad weather, and have only been jfcble to get in very few good practices under the able guidance of oach "Pop" Gunn will probably be fenough to pull the Vikings through tor a couple of victories.

FROSH-SOPH TEAMS FOR HANDBALL PICKED "Faint Heart Never Won a Fair Lady a place on the Team! It can be said that the women who turned out for handball were never more faint in their lives than when it came time on Tuesday night to pick the teams. It was close competition all the way through the intermural games and all waited hopefully for the answer from the coach. Miss Marjory Horton. The high-point holders who earned the right to a place on the Freshmen team through their winning the games of the intermurals are: Thelma Hilburger, 1st Single. Phyliss Bresnan, 2nd Single.

Survey Shows ----- ELIZABETH M. HOPPER IN THE FALL of 1929, the Washington Education Association made a brief study of the conditions in the State and tried to determine as exactly as possible the number of teachers in the State who were without positions. It was estimated that approximately one thousand teachers were unemployed, this figure including the experienced and inexperienced, the successful and unsuccessful teachers in both high school and elementary fields. Various teachers have combined to bring about this condition. Overproduction in the teacher-training institutions, influx of teachers from other states, economic pressure in other fields and consolidation of schools, may be mentioned as some of the most apparent causes. The rise in requirements from two, to three years, of training, with the corresponding change in Life Diploma requirements, will tend to control the first two factors. The State Department of Education is curtailing greatly the number of certificates granted to teachers who come here from other states. Out of nearly a thousand applications for certificates, only two hundred and fifty were granted last year and these were given to teachers with special qualifications which did not bring them into direct competition with graduates of the local institutions. The unemployment prevalent in so many other fields is throwing additional pressure on the schools. Many married women who hold life diplomas, and whose husbands are unable to obtain work, are seeking teaching positions in order to support their families. This, undoubtedly works a hardship on the inexperienced teachers. Consolidation is, of course, a step in the right di5rection and, in the long run, it will eliminate only the weaker teachers. The so-called “Showalter Bill,” which is to come before the next legislature, will assuredly make some changes in the methods of selecting teachers for the smaller schools, and will tend to make such selection a professional, rather than a personal matter. The over-supply of teachers is not merely a state problem. It is nation-wide. Several of the Eastern states, notably Rhode Island and New Jersey, are taking measures to control the situation. Rhode Island has but one teacher-training institution, and each town is allowed to send only a certain percentage of high school graduates to the teachers’ college, and these students are very carefully selected. In New Jersey an attempt is being made to predict the number of teachers that will be needed from year to year, and only the number necessary to meet the anticipated demand are admitted to the institutions for training. The fact that the State Department of Education here is considering the problem officially gives promise of eventual adjustment in Washington. Presumably there will be concerted action among all the states within the next ten years to regulate the supply and demand for well-trained teachers. According to the records of the Appointment Bureau during the last three years, there is always a place for a wholly desirable teacher with first-class credentials, particularly for those who have special ability in art, music, industrial arts, or physical education. By “wholly desirable” is meant one who is comparatively young, who has had four or five years of successful experience, who is unmarried, and whose personality and social conduct make her an asset to the school and community. ARCHITECT’S CONCEPTION OF NEW P. E. BUILDING Reaction to Beauty is Expressed By Children Through Creative Work ----- MISS A. L. PACKAM The Junior Viking, a training school publication which consists of poetry, prose, music and drawings submitted by the children from the pre-primary to the Eighth grade, is published by the Eighth grade and is in mimeograph form. This form lends itself to the exact reproduction of children’s drawings and its type can be easily adapted to different age levels. There are fifty pages, size 7x11 inches, with the cover sheet illustrated with a colored block print made by one of the students. Through creative work in the Junior Viking, comes an expression of the children’s reaction to the beauty and happiness around them. They are encouraged to express their feelings in written form, and by this sharing of thought and feeling with others, their power of creative work is bound to grow, Ernest Dimnet, a French philosopher, writes that all children are true philosophers until the age of ten, when the obstacle of grown-up conventions and education itself as it has been causes the child to keep his thoughts to himself. He believes that children have natural inclinations to express themselves spontaneously and creatively and this should be encouraged to continue through life. Here is an eight-year-old boy’s view of fog: FOG The misty fog rolls all around On the country, On the town. Over the church towers all around On the town. The people say they don’t like fog Because it covers up the town. I like the fog! I’m tired of seeing the old dingy town. I’m glad to see the old friend of mine - The fog All over the country, All over the town. -Buddy Lobe, 8 years. Then notice this humor of an eighth grade goy: KING ARTHUR “I like not these square ends,” And King Arthur looked around. “I want a table full of bends; I’ll make a table round.” Then he got his battleax, And upon the table climbed; He began with strong and mighty whacks; Their laughs he did not mind. The chips, they flew; the pile, it grew; And again he looked around. “Now, my friends, who’ve nought to do, Clean these chips up off the ground.” -John Slagle. -----o----- An expression with more thought content is by this thirteen-year-old girl: DEATH OF THE PUEBLO From out the dark sky the stars shine down Upon a Pueblo deserted and alone; Now lonely, broken, and yet of renown; Where once was life, now is scattered bone. Long years ago, the Indian tribesman Wandered in search of a home. And, happening by chance, on a cliff-dwelling clan, Conquered and took them for their own. The tribes intermingled and, in a strange way, They labored on dwellings, pottery, and gourds Until, preserved in dishes made of clay, They feasted that winter on food they had stored. But one day a stronger clan came their way To add to their fears and their regret; And soon both their dwellings and they Lay crumbled and fallen; - their death they had met. So the stars shine down from out the sky Upon the Pueblo deserted and lone - Lonely and fallen always to lie, All broken fragments and littered bone. -Margaret Olson 13 years. Proposed New P. E. Building Will Be Modern Structure ----- PRES. C. H. FISHER THE NEW Physical Education building will be built first of all to take care of the physical education classes and develop athletics and recreation for the whole student body, and although there will be ample space to take care of exhibition games in basketball, the building will not be built primarily for athletic teams but to contribute something through physical education to all students. There will be a large gymnasium for men where basketball games will be played and this gymnasium will have a seating capacity of about fifteen hundred. The gymnasium will be wide enough so that with the collapsible bleachers removed, there could be two basketball games going on at the same time. There will be two gymnasiums for women which will take care of physical education classes and sports. There will also be a small one-story auxiliary gymnasium, which will provide an attractive place for all classes in dancing. The plan calls for a swimming pool thirty-five feet wide and seventy-five feet long. The swimming pool will be a one-story building and will have plenty of exposure for lighting and ventilation. Under the gymnasiums on the first floor will be the locker rooms for men and for women, together with showers and lavatory rooms. A great deal of time has been spent planning these facilities so as to get the proper light and ventilation. Some recent changes in the plans have made it possible to provide small handball courts which were not originally included in the plans. There will be individual offices for both men and women instructors, and classrooms will be provided where teachers can meet groups for instruction. There will be two clubrooms, one for the “W” club and one for the W. A. A. The building is planned to be used by men and women and yet it is so arranged that there cannot possibly be any conflict in the use of the building by men and women. The building will take advantage of the latest ideas in construction and also in providing adequate facilities for a progressive program in physical education and recreation for the whole student body. -----o----- Summer Electives In Music Offered MAUDE M. SLAWSON The Music Department is offering a number of elective courses this summer besides those regularly required for graduation. It is seldom that these courses are offered during the school year so summer students should avail themselves of the opportunity to take them. Elementary Harmony, Junior High School Music Education, Appreciation, Conducting, and Chorus, are among the electives to be given. The numbers of the required courses have been changed. Music 3a is Primary Music Education and Music 3b is Intermediate Music Education, while Music 1 and 2 are sight singing courses which are the prerequisites to all other music courses. ---------- Northwest Viking, Quarterly Alumni Supplement - 1930 June - Page 2 ---------- Northwest Viking Quarterly Alumni Supplement PUBLISHED BY THE NORTHWEST VIKING IN THE INTERESTS OF THE TEACHING ALUMNI ----- ----- EDITORIAL We submit for your consideration the first experimental edition of the “Quarterly Alumni Supplement” to The Northwest Viking. If this issue receives your approval, another publication may be made during the summer quarter, and if that proves successful, the Alumni Supplement may become a regular feature of The Viking. The purpose of the Supplement, as we have conceived it, is to reach the Alumni, and particularly the teaching Alumni, with articles of a professional nature written by experienced and well-informed persons, which may afford sources of interest and information to the people who are furthering the cause of education “in the field.” We believe that though such a publication as we shall try to make this Supplement, the people who have studied here will not lose their connection with the institution when they are graduated, but will remain in intimate contact with the school and its work, and that gradually the Normal will become the nucleus of a large body of teachers, sharing their experiences through the school publications, and going to it for renewed inspiration. We are proud that the Normal school is gaining the approbation of educators all over the United States through the contributions to education which it is making. We are also proud of the achievements which are being made by Bellingham graduates in the teaching field. We do not thing that we are too optimistic in believing that if we can bridge the gap that exists between the experiments and improvements which are being made in school here, and those which are being practiced by earnest Alumni, that the fusion and exchange of experiences will be worthwhile. We believe that Alumni will find it pleasant to keep in touch with their friends and with the work of their school. We recognize the value of trial and error experience, and if our graduates offer us their encouragement and support, we shall try again and err again until we have made of this Alumni Supplement a good medium of serious information and friendly gossip. RAY CRAFT, Editor Northwest Viking. -----o----- A NEED FULFILLED One of the greatest needs of the Bellingham Normal School has been adequate contact between the school and the thousands of Alumni engaged in professional work. If every tie between student and school is to be severed on graduation day, the losers are the student, the school, and the state. If the relationship might live, and with time grow in significance, everyone would benefit. A periodical issue of an Alumni Supplement to The Viking would fulfill this need. May the success of the present issue be an assurance of its continuance! ALBERT BOOMAN President of the Alumni. Fishermen IRENE SCHAGEL ‘29 I saw little men In shell-like crafts Hauling in hand over hand Silver nets from the sea - I saw little men In the giddy ships of Life Pulling in nets - searching for fish. Clinging to the mesh were the scales of Desire, But the fish were gone. -----o----- Need for Math Felt In Study of Science E. A. BOND The trend of thought concerning education today seems to be in the direction of the assimilation of the meanings in the various fields and their application to the problems that life presents. This we would call a general education, or education in general. In addition to this scholarship, the individual needs specific training in the upper reaches of some subject. He does this not only for his own sake but quite as much from the fact that his contribution to the sum total of knowledge lies in that direction. Furthermore, the accepting of the facts of the investigations of others without rendering in return advance in some line seems unfair. “Hopeless cases of fine minds gone soft and flabby are so common that it is not too much to say that arrested intellectual development is the great national disease of our educationally privileged classes. Since men now in the fifties went to college the whole universe has been taken down and reassembled in a new and unfamiliar form. Science has been going ahead by running leaps.” This statement was taken from The Saturday Evening Post in March, 1929. Now, unfortunately for the casual and easily daunted reader, modern science is written in mathematics and in the dialect of the calculus. One cannot get very far in any branch of science without feeling the necessity for mathematics far beyond that which is given in the usual college course. Lack of easy familiarity with higher mathematics is a formidable obstacle between our ignorance and any real grasp of the modern conception of the universe in which we live and the life we are to live in it. Furthermore, this obstacle will continue to bar our paths until we appreciate the importance of mathematical studies. -----o----- Teacher’ College, Columbia University, has completed a survey conducted throughout the country in teacher-training schools pertaining to “Social Background and Activities of Teacher College Students.” The report shows that the American teacher likes motion pictures better than the drama, prefers musical comedies to grand opera, and chooses popular magazines and novels in preference to any other form of reading material. She comes from the lower middle-class society her father being manager of a small business, a skilled workman or a farmer, her sister is a stenographer, nurse or business clerk. She is native born and has never traveled more than 200 miles from her birthplace or visited more than one large city. More than 75 per cent of the teachers’ homes own an automobile; two-thirds are equipped with bathrooms and in more than one-half of the homes there are less than 200 books. -----o----- ----- SUGGESTIONS WANTED This first issue of The Alumni Supplement was produced after much “fumbling” in the dark. What it will be from now on will depend upon the wishes and suggestions of the people for whom it is intended. The Viking staff will appreciate letters or interviews with any graduates or friends of the School who have any suggestions to make toward the planning of forthcoming issues. Would you like more personal stories? Would you enjoy reading letters from other teachers? Would you like to see book reviews published? Whatever the features you would enjoy, please make them known, because The Supplement from now on will be in fact an Alumni Supplement.

It is socializing these activities by encouraging mass participation through the socialized Play Day, where groups meet for the purpose of playing with instead of against each other. Such a Play Day has some activity in which even the novice can find enjoyment in participation. The annual Play Day participated in by the Training School could be easily carried out in most any situation with greater or lesser organization. The Play Day of the previous year was recalled. Each class selected a representative to a central committee and informed him as to the color and badge for that grade. The committee came together, settled conflicts in choice and made other adjustments. Each grade made its own distinctive marking and invited guests to participate in the picnic lunch which was held in the class rooms, because of bad weather. Through discussion during the Physical Education period, the children in each grade selected the rhythmical activity, the games which they wished to play on Play Day. These activities were chosen from their regular work and although they were reviewed, the children were not drilled in them to the point of perfect performance. They did not want to kill the joy of playing that too often comes, through long practice for the pleasure of the spectator. After lunch and a story hour all gathered in the large gymnasium, the weather not permitting us to use the grassy knoll on the campus. In turn each grade did a rhythmical activity for the other grades. In some instances one did a dance and then inviting another group as partners. This program followed: Program Dancing Skip … Pre-Primary Did You Ever See a Lassie? … First Grade Carrousel … Second Grade Jolly Is the Miller … Third Grade Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines … Fourth Grade Mats and Pyramids … Fifth and Sixth Grade Boys How Do You Do? … Fifth Grade Girls Dutch Couples … Sixth Grade Girls Virginia Reel … Seventh Grade Girls Sleigh Bells … Eighth Grade Girls Tumbling … Boys of Seventh and Eighth Grades Windup of all Grades, led by Pre-Primary After the Windup the Pre-Primary and First Grade will continue their play on the knoll. Grades Two to Eight will play on Normal Field. Cat and Mouse, Squirrels in Trees … First Grade Gardener and Scamp, Black and White, Soldiers and Robbers … Second Grade Relays, Fire Engine, Long Ball … Third Grade Long Ball … Fourth Grade Long Ball and Base Ball … Fifth and Sixth Girls Base Ball … Fifth and Sixth Boys Base Ball and Ring Tennis … Seventh and Eighth Girls Base Ball … Seventh and Eighth Boys Service Ball … Seventh Boys and Girls After our hour inside the weather changed, allowing each grade to proceed to a designated spot on the playground to play the games they had chosen. Play ended about three o’clock with the children feeling it had been their day. In a Play Day involving two or more schools much the same organization is necessary. Color teams made up of children from each school (if there are three schools, each team has children) who play hard for their team. A spirit of mutual goodwill is developed. It fosters competition but discourages rivalry. Instead of rival schools we have friendly schools. American Child Health Association, 370 Seventh avenue, New York City, has done a great deal to advance the Play Day, and considerable material is available on organization and conducting Play Days. They are being favored in our State, bringing girls together in basketball Play Days instead of pitched battles for county championships, which so often have undesirable social and physical effects. New Industrial Arts Courses To Be Given Besides the usual required courses in the Industrial Arts Department, a number of special courses for teachers who wish additional work in primary, intermediate or upper grade industrial arts will be offered for the summer session. Special attention has been given to problems of teachers who may return for advance work during the summer session. Miss Z. Z. Wilson, supervisor of Industrial Arts at Jackson, Maryland, will be here, offering courses in primary and intermediate work. Two advanced courses will be offered in addition to the fields just mentioned. The “General Shop” idea or the diversified activity shop, which is receiving much attention in small schools everywhere over the country will be studied in a course dealing with aims, equipment, management and job sheets, as used in the general shop. In addition there will be a course in upper grade shop, dealing with electrical projects which children could conduct in six to eight hours. Shop drawing, cabinet work, and printing will also be featured. Mr. Paul H. Rule will be the instructor in a course useful for shop teachers in Home Economics, which is intended to stress the common household uses of everyday industrial appliances. -----o----- Region Offers Fine Places for Pictures HERBERT C. RUCKMICK Students who plan to go on the excursions or hikes about Pubet Sound and to Mount Baker have rare opportunities to use their cameras. The photography course, which will be offered this summer, also has excellent possibilities as a teaching medium. Camera clubs in schools, studies of the industrial significance of photography give much insight in the way of chemistry and physics. The course, Industrial Arts 5 in Photography is devoted to much practical work in the operation of cameras, developing of films and prints, enlarging and making of lantern slides. All of these activities are such as would be teachable to Junior High school children, besides giving much aid to the student in learning how to operate his own camera. -----o----- Musical Artists’ Course Has Successful Year The Musical Artists’ Course of this last season, sponsored by the Bellingham Women’s Music Club and the Normal School, was one of unusual merit and brought to this city artists of rare ability. The course offered a wide variety of numbers ranging from vocal, piano, and string instruments, to ensemble singing and symphonic band music. Friedman, a skilled German pianist, opened the season with a concert which was probably one of the finest of the entire course. He was followed by Zimbalist, a violinist who was a student of the famous old teacher, Leopold Auer. Zimbalist was received with enthusiasm by everyone but appealed particularly to the violin students. The Mount Baker theater was filled to capacity to hear the Carlton Symphony Band, which is a college organization coming from Northfield, Minnesota. This symphony band is one of the best of its kind in the United States and typifies a coming development in ensemble playing. Lawrence Tibbett, the young American baritone, who became famous over night, won the admiration of the audience through his natural, unaffected and truly great singing. He left a lasting impression that probably cannot be replaced. The unusualness of the a Cappella Choir which came to us from Los Angeles, made it an outstanding event. Mina Hager, contralto, closed the season with a beautifully interpreted program. The Artists’ course will be offered again next year and the committee in charge has chosen a very splendid course for the 1930-31 season. -----o----- F. A. Turnbull, 1919, is principal of the Franklin school in Aberdeen, Washington. Mrs. Turnbull, 1923, teaches a private kindergarten, where she is featuring work in music PERSONALS Regarding the Alumni and the Work Which They Are Doing Carrie Crippen, who graduated from Normal in 1926, is at present at the head of the book and stationery department of The Paris Store, in Great Falls, Montana. Mary Woodbridge another active member of the Class of 1927, is also in Great Falls. -----o----- Barney Chichester, graduate of 1929, who for the past year has been a member of the Foster, Wash., school staff, has accepted the position of Athletic Director of District 144, King county, Washington. Hazel E. Vedani, 1929, who has taught for the past year at Custer, will attend the University of California at Los Angeles, this summer. -----o----- Sybil L. Tucker, 1925, is director of Girls’ Work and Junior Church in the Centenary-Wilbur M. E. church, Portland, Oregon. Her work includes Camp Fire, Girl Reserve, and Girl Scout groups. Kirby L. Smith, 1916, superintendent of schools in Napavine, Washington, has accepted the office of superintendent of school in Sequim for next year. -----o----- Earl H. Evans, 1912, principal of the Lincoln school, Everett, in co-operation with the Music Department, has organized a chorus and two instrumental music classes in that school. Ruth A. Gnagey, ---------- Northwest Viking, Quarterly Alumni Supplement - 1930 June - Page 4 ---------- Child Needs Studied By Parent Groups ELSIE WENDLING PARENTS are interested in learning more about their children, and what can be done for their welfare. This is shown by the questions they ask of the teacher concerning Mary’s health or Johnny’s behavior. Here, in the city of Bellingham this interest has caused the formation and organization of study groups, such as the Pre-Primary, the Primary, the Elementary, and the Adolescent. The particular phases of study during the year are determined by the parents in the group. A leader is found who is responsible for planning the work, finding material and assigning the work for individuals in the group and bringing in speakers who can clear up doubtful points and leading the discussions. A chairman is chosen by them to conduct regular business, such as announcing the time and place of meeting, calling the meeting to order, conducting the routine of business, making reports, etc. The elementary group this past year began its work with a brief survey of the relation of the public to the schools, but soon launched directly into a study of children’s needs, stressing especially the physical development and hygiene of the child. The year’s work, with two meetings a month, has only begun the discussion of this large problem. Every community, large or small, has the same desire to know more about its children, to learn what is considered best at the present time for the welfare of its citizens. The teacher in that group can find many opportunities of being of service without danger of interference with “authority,” which used to be the bugaboo of the Parent-Teacher organization, or without the troublesome testimonial meeting. The parent must keep up with the trends in education if he is to understand the child. -----o----- Speech Clinic Helps Defective Cases A new feature of the work in the speech department at the Normal this year is the clinic for the correction of speech defects. It is the third such clinic in a teacher training institution on the Coast and the first in the State of Washington. James Carrell, an instructor in the department of speech, is in charge of the corrective work. The purpose of the clinic is to undertake the treatment of speech defects in the children of the Training school and to train prospective teachers I the methods of correcting such defects. About three per cent of the school children suffer from speech defects, according to various surveys that have been made. No figures are available for the State of Washington, but a study made by Dr. Earl Wells of Oregon State College disclosed that about eight per cent of the school children in Oregon had defective speech. All types of speech defects are treated in the clinic. The commonest disorders are stammering, lisping, “baby talk,” sound substitutions and bad voice quality. Sixteen such cases are being treated at present. Much of the correction work is done by students under supervision. The clinical practice is a part of the course in Speech Correction Methods, where an attempt is made to allow every student to take one case of defective speech. Those who have completed the course in Speech Correction Methods may earn additional credits by continuing as teachers the following quarter. Problems Are Raised by Comparing 8th Grade and Normal Aptitudes BUREAU OF RESEARCH Test Grade or Normal Mean (aver.) Stand Devi. No. of Cases Stand. Req. % of 8th grade pupils equ’l or surp. Required Stadn’ng English Eighth Grade 23.13 4.69 468 19 79% Normal 58.47 15.72 506 55 42% History Eighth Grade 44.98 17.29 804 Normal 58.03 18.49 541 64 37% Geography Eighth Grade 73.27 20.33 771 Normal 39.71 16.08 443 41 41% Arithmetic Reasoning Eighth Grade 52.15 17.42 835 Normal 10.34 3.89 497 11 45% Arithmetic Computation Eight Grade 12.51 3.41 913 Normal 21.65 5.05 562 *In English usage the score is given in terms of the number of errors. Hence the lower the score the higher the standing. For a number of years a battery of achievement tests have been given to all students who enter Bellingham State Normal School. This battery of tests includes tests in English usage, spelling, history, geography, handwriting, arithmetic reasoning and arithmetic computation. Certain standards have been set in English usage, arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation and spelling which must be attained by all students before they are permitted to enter upon their practice teaching. It has been assumed that these standards are at least as high as the accomplishment of the average eighth grade pupil. In order that a comparison might be made between the accomplishment of the students entering the normal school and the eighth grade pupils of the State, the achievement tests in English usage, arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation, history and geography were given to about five hundred pupils in the eighth grades in the following school systems: Anacortes, Bellingham, Blaine, Bremerton, Centralia, Chehalis, Everett, Hoquiam, Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Seattle, Sedro-Woolley, and Snohomish. The results of these tests when given to eighth grade pupils as compared to the results achieved by students entering the normal school, who took the same form of tests, reveal some interesting facts and give rise to some important problems. The following table gives the average score for both the eighth grade pupils and the students entering the normal school, the standard deviation, and the number of cases upon which these results are based. The standard which must be reached before being permitted to enter upon practice teaching and the per cent of eighth grade pupils who reach or surpass this standard are also given for each test: It is obvious from the figures appearing in the last column of the above table that the standards which must be met by students before they are permitted to do their practice teaching are not unreasonably high. The marked superiority of the eighth grade pupils in the field of arithmetic computation is very noticeable. Should the standard which normal pupils must now attain in this subject be raised? In none of the other subjects in which these tests were given, are the standards set by the normal school markedly higher than the achievement of the average eighth grade pupil. -----o----- Hoh River Offers Problem to Teacher Imagine teaching at a school, nine miles of walking or horseback riding, from even a country road. Max Stewart, a graduate of Bellingham Normal in 1927, has been doing just that. He teaches a school of five students, upon the Hoh river in Jefferson county, Washington. Four of his pupils belong to one family; the other is his nephew. They have a one-room building, the teacher baching in half of the cabin. Mr. Stewart says that they have plenty of good textbooks and are not handicapped from that standpoint. The difficulty lies with the children themselves. They are intelligent, but the youngsters have never seen cars, brick buildings or modern civilization in action. And all this is right in the State of Washington. That one-half the world does not know how the other half lives, would seem true, after all. Help in Testing Given By Bureau BUREAU OF RESEARCH Up to the present time, the Bureau of Research has confined its activities to problems arising within the Normal school and the Training school. It has recently been agreed that certain types of service should be offered by the Bureau to public school people of the State, especially our graduates. These services include answers to inquiries concerning the setting up of a testing program, the selection of proper tests to use for a given purpose, aid in interpreting the results of a testing program and help in defining and carrying through research problems. The field of testing has become so broad that it is impossible for the teacher or even the superintendent, to keep abreast of the new tests, their uses and their limitations. More and more tests are being published. This is, indeed, a splendid thing, for tests must be increasingly better to gain recognition. It also allows objective testing in many new fields each year in which standard t4ests were not previously employed. Teachers are constantly making greater and more varied use of the teacher-made objective tests. This is a growing field and one worthy of study by the progressive teacher. Such tests, to be worthwhile, must be properly constructed and their results properly interpreted. The bureau is quite willing to offer suggestions and criticize any material of this nature which teachers wish to send in. Many of the problems in education can be solved in no other way than by experimentation in the classroom. The more progressive teachers in the country are coming to recognize this fact and are doing more experimental work in connection with their regular teaching. Others are co-operating with colleges and universities in experimental work. We hope that a number of the graduates of Bellingham Normal will become interested in setting up experiments of various kinds, the results of which will influence their teaching practice. Such studies might be illustrated by: The amount of improvement made by a deficient pupil when given a definite amount of individual aid as compared to improvement when treated as one of a group; the most efficient method of presenting a given unit of materials; the amount of improvement in a given ability as the result of a given project. Teachers who keep from year to year data of various kinds, will find it possible to make some enlightening and interesting studies based on this material. This will be especially true if the teacher has been teaching the same grade for several years. The Bureau of Research will be very glad to lend any assistance possible to teachers, principals and superintendents in outlining the procedures in connection with experiments which they wish to conduct. -----o----- Evelyn Tawlks, 1927, has been confined to her home in Everet for the past two years with illness. While in attendance at Normal Miss Tawlks was active in club and social activities. -----o----- Elton K. Korsborn, 1928-29, is a member of the staff of the Central school in Snohomish. Mrs. Korsborn is Junior High coach, Scoutmaster and playground supervisor. Many Agencies Aid In Promoting Peace NORA B. CUMMINS UNQUESTIONABLY the greatest problems of our generation center around international relations. Busy people are often in need of information concerning subjects of interest in the field.

Start Blue Book Work. A Board of Control policy, putting in written form some of the traditions which in the past have guided the Board in some of its actions, and which will enable the Board and the faculty to come to agreements on some matters ever undecided, will be formulated by the Board,, and is now being discussed and worked on. This was brought out following the weekly meeting of the Board, Wednesday morning. The policy affects in the main student publications and social functions. The election by the Board of Control of the editors and business managers of the various publications is not changed, but the Board reserves the right to discharge from the staff of any publication any member who gives cause, though this member may be appointed by the editors with no ratification of the appointment by the1 Board. Student Functions Student social functions are to be under a faculty supervision which will be agreed upon before the function is held, rather than under the "haphazard" supervision which has been the case in the past. Heretofore, according to the Board, if there has been any displeasure because of the program or any feature of a student social, there has been no party with fixed responsibility. The understanding between the Board and faculty of "arranged supervision" is planned to alter the former condition. The last social event of the quarter will be a special evening "rec" hour Friday night, August 17. A double "rec" hour with a possible program and other features is being planned. Debate Awaits Changes Because it was thought that the giving of two pins for debate*, that Catherine Wade Smith Presents Program in Assembly Appearance Bellingham's nationally famous violinist, Catherine Wade Smith, was enthusiastically received by an audience which filled the auditorium this morning. Although the concert was si ven in the regular assembly, many people of Bellingham took the opportunity to hear their talented fellow townswoman, and almost every seat was filled. ( The finished technique and clear and beautiful tone color for which the artist is famous Avere exquisitely brought out by the numbers played. Wieniewaski's "Fantasy Brillian-tine" proved a favorite with the audience as did the ever-popular "Tango" by Abeniz. The Kreisler arrangement of De Falla's "Danse Espagnole" brought the program to a brilliant close. Miss Smith was assisted by John Hopper, talented Seattle pianist. The entire program was: I. a.

Sixty Participate in Sings, Hikes, and Feeds on Hannegan Pass Trip Sleeping . underneath the stars, climbing mountains and eating the best of foods, including fresh fish from Chilliwack creek, are only a •few of the incidents that will make the Hannegan Pass trip live long in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to make the excursion last week-end. About fifteen members of the faculty . and a like number from the Friday Harbor station helped to swell the total to over sixty persons who left the campus about two o'clock Friday afternoon. Leaving the busses at Shuksan, the party hiked to the first night's camping piace at the five and one-half mile mark before darkness came on. But not so with the pack train that followed! Before half the trip had been -completed darkness made travel for tlie pack train difficult and dangerous. However, relief from the main camp brought "bugs" and candles, .and the train pulled into camp about nine thirty. Lunch cbnsisted of two big slices of bread with a luscious piece of meat loaf between, hot soup, celery and cocoa. Beds on Mother Earth. All were responsible for making their own beds arid here they showed that-slimmer outings' have made real campers of them. Blan- •ket rolls arid V sleeping bags ;, were •scattered , around ; : underneath, the trees and one had to watch his step lest he trod on some sleeping individual. After a good night's rest camp was broken and five male members left early to catch fish for next 'morning's breakfast. The party claimed to have caught all the fish in -the creek and actually exhibited some beautiful "Dollies" to prove' it. Chin-Chin A hike' to Goat mountain furnished excitement for all day Saturday and it was a- tired but happy crowd that gathered around the canipfire that evening to sing group songs with, an occasional solo or duet, and finally "Good Night Ladies" with several original verses added. Two members of the party were reported as having carried on a continuous conversation throughout the night, and sleepy persons finally compromised on names offered to fit ,the night talkers. One individual in particular carried the name of Chin- Chin throughout the rest of the trip. Safety Pins Safety pins were in vogue' when the party had returned from Ruth Mountain. A^ quarter of a mile snow slide and the heather slides that followed proved disastrous to several-pair of flimsy trousers; and Guy -Bond and Les Sanford were paying huge, prices for insignificant little safetv pins. .."'./ ,-';'• •:'.- \j)\--..-: ',"••'„.'•. (Continued; on' Page Foiir) "Merchant of Venice" Plays To Two Capacity Audiences V. H. Hoppe, Carianna Tucker, and John Kerr, Are Outstanding in Their Roles. Scenery and Lighting Effects Particularly Well Managed by Lock. .(By Mary Hibner) A two night run before capacity houses is the record of the members of the Normal Drama club who appeared in "The Merchant of Venice", Wednesday and Thursday, August S and 9. Practically every reserved seat was sold out, and the general section was fliled up each evening. The play had been so directed that every grouping of the actors upon the simple but exquisitely colored and lighted stage formed a pleasing picture. Most of the actors spoke their lines as Shakespeare would have had them "trippingly", 4ind with full clear tones which reached to everyone in the audience. The perfectly chiselled phrases of the supreme dramatist appealed for melody itself as well as for content. Shylock Is Exceptional Mr. Hoppe, director, gave an interpretation of Shylock which seemed to hold the sympathy of the people of the audience even while they resented the unrelenting, vengeful nature of the old Jew. "One of the finest pieces of acting he ever did in Bellingham," says one old play-goer. Carrianna Tucker, as Portia, impressed one with the timelessness of Shakespeare's characters. Portia, in her beautiful seventeenth century gowns, was a modern woman, and her reactions were those a woman of today under like circumstances. She believed in action, just as the girl of today—no dependence on men, even on the best of them, for her. She believed in doing—and she did. Miss Tucker's acting was noteworthy for its convincing naturalness and' for the resonant beauty with which she spoke her lines. Ben Howard, as Bassanio, and Ralph Johnson, as Antonio, played their parts with a sincerity which was convincing, especially during the tragic scenes. John Kerr is Gratanio Outstanding among the lesser characters was the work of John Kerr as the carefree and impetuous Gratanio. Bob Burchette, as Lorenzo, and Helen Sullivan, as Jessica, made a pleasing pair of story book sweethearts. Will Nellis, as Shylock's friend Tubal, Floid VanEtten, as the Duke of Morocco, Frank Franz, as a simpering Prince of Argon, and Earl Hemmi as the low comedy Launcelot Gobbo, were much appreciated by the audience. Much of the beauty of the play was due to the simple but colorful scenery and to the lighting effects which- the stage management attained under the direction of Frank Lock. ' . EDENS INFORMAL IS "FEAST OFLANTERNS" Mystery of the East in Music, Romance of Orient in Blosoms. Dancers, swaying to the weird strains of Oriental music, will be illuminated by the wild, flashing eyes of an exotic idol when the girls of Edens Hall celebrate "The Feast of the Lanterns" at their summer informal in the dormitory dining room tomorrow evening. August 11, from 8:30 until 11:30 o'clock. Branches of cherry blossoms and masses of graceful wisteria have been arranged under the supervision of Marian Snyder and will be used effectivel to carry out the Oriental theme in decorations. Music charged with the exciting-mystery of the East will be furnished by the Melody Boys of Anacor-tes, who introduced themselves to Bellingham dancers on their return from the school excursion to Victoria. Marian Snyder has designed Japanese programs which will be in the form of small, colorful fans. An. added feature of the unique informal will be an Oriental solo dance by Beatrice Cook. Patrons for the affair are. Mr. and Mrs. Harold B. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Ruckniick, Miss Virginia Winbigler, and Mists Florence Johnson- Plans for the dance have been completed under the direction of Helen Sheckels. Her committees include the following girls: Decoration, Marian Snyder, Esther Norum, Beulah Burns, and Lillie Soulc; refreshment, Mildred Meyers, -Nora Belle Stout, and Deloyce Young; program, Edna Working, Mildred Matson, and Lucile Schwartz: orchestra, Winnifred Ha Her, blind date, Louise Stiger; and Mary Luch. _ 0 - _• •'• MISS SPERRY GIVES TALK Miss M.

We take pride in producing the greatest possible amount in the least possible time, and that person is usually regarded as the greatest success whose efficiency is developed to such a degree that he keeps every bit of time occupied with work that "must" be done. But, is it best, after all, that success should be measured by the day's work? There is success that is measured by philosophy and that success is longer-lived and can be one of the lasting satisfactions of your life. , It is a good thing to pause in the march-of-events that move always toward more and more productivity; to pause and think about your outlook; your attitude toward the society you find yourself in; your social-mindedness, which is, in the last analysis, the basis of all philosophy. ' —E. H. o " B Y T H E I R DEEDS Y E S H A L L K N O W T H E M" The best advertisement of Bellingham Normal is a capable and well-trained teacher. We have no agent who solicits students through through publicity talks to high school students, for we wish to be known because of worthwhile accomplishments in education, rather than through organized propaganda. This attitude places the responsibility for school advertisement with each person connected with our school. We who are alumni must remember that patrons are constantly comparing our work with that done by graduates of other schools and our results are considered typical of results to be expected from any teacher trained at Bellingham Normal. Each of us may be powerful in molding public opinion concerning our school and its standards, and in interesting prospective students. i " —c. c. I N T E R N A T I O N A L U N D E R S T A N D I NG Understanding and how to attain it is the problem which faces people all over the world today. People are in an attitude of mind where they hate war and they realize that understanding of.the problems of other peoples, which involves an exchange of ideas, is the only possible solution for avoiding future calamities. With men eager to understand, the task should not be difficult. As Dr. Harada of the University of Hawaii has said in an address on Japan and the United States at the Institute of International Relations in Seattle, "Conferences may do much to cultivate an understanding" ; we ought then to give serious consideration to the principle of the conference which is none other than the discussion of problems over the round table. Earlier in the summer one of our faculty members suggested round table discussions here on such vital problems as current politics, international relations, foreign policies of this and other countries, religion from the sociological point of view, and social questions. All of these would lead to more intelligent understanding. Although for those who will teach next year time for such discussions is now limited we may well be thinking of the possibilities of such discussions in our places of work next year. —C. J. N . o T H E POOR TEACHER. The teacher, says Lorine Pruette, on page 8 6 of the July 25 issue of the Nation, leads a spineless existence. "Teachers," the writer• continues "are unquestionably one of the most repressed groups in the modern world of labor." Speaking of compulsory summer school for teachers, the writer says that teaching is the only profession in which the expenditure of leisure time of the worker is dictated by the employer. And so the teachers come to summer school, some because they do not dare to stay away, and ten per cent because they are reaching out for more knowledge and the resulting increase in ability.'- The young, be-roughed teacher, is teaching "tiresome brats until she finds a man." She may find him at summer school. Summer school "is designed for the under privileged and the thwarted —its development is a natural part of our democratic philosophy. The summer school is a makeshift" though it will improve as authorities are able to improve it. Some time the teachers in summer school are-going to look at one another, and get an idea. "Ideasjiave been known to explode," says the author. .: Stand by!

By J . P . W. Last week a rather lengthy explanation was given. dlf how this column is meditated. Explanations of how a mental process happens sound boring, but to. date three people have been discovered who read the stuff through to the bitter end. And that record beats by a fourth of a dozen the record of former issues. Gazing upon ,the familiar sign of every newspaper office, the dusty-fly- specked cardboard cries out "Don't forget who, where, why, what, when, and how." ..Goodness! There are several weeks' coliimnses. "Where, when, how, and what" were told last week. "Who" may be discovered by the active minded by gazing upon the initials at the top of the editorial column which names the staff. At least that is the common method of determining the names of elusive and bashful columnists. A columnist wishes to keep his identity a secret, you see until his reputation is established, to save his skin. The question sems to have been disposed of all too easily, the week's I subject material is exploded, and there is only •'•'Why" left. This, says the curly-haired author of Bottled by Bond, should be enough. And two hall-roaniers were heard to echo his sentiments the other day when the columnist ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 August 10 - Page 3 ---------- ^ ^ H I N m ^ N S T ^ VIKINGS DOWNED BY HUSKIES IN ANNUAL BASEBALL TUSSLE BY SCORE OF 6 TO 3 Tubby Graves and ,his rollicking baseball chasers pulled the "bow down to Washington" stunt to the tune of 6 to 3 on a bunch of bewildered Normal Vikings, Wednesday evening on Waldo field. Tubby played the game from behind the bat, coached the ball team, and furnished the amusement for tl« crowd in general. The game started out with a bang, Normal getting . several , of the breaks. In the first inning Patterson bore down hard, fanning the first two batters that faced him and the third was tossed out on a feeble infield attempt. The Vikings draw first blood in their half of the second when they pushed over two runs on two hits and an error, only to have their score doubled in the fourth when a two-base hit and a single coupled with two errors netted the Washington men four runs and the lead which they never lost throughout the rest of the game. The Vikings added one more to their score in the fifth on a single and a sacrifice. Tubby Graves' wrecking crew 1 put the game away on ice when they added one more in the sixth and sev enth innings. Both pitchers turned in a fairly good performance, with Lister, U. of W. hurling ace, getting the better support. Patterson started out well but weakened before the game was over, his teammates giving him poor fielding support. Okerlund and Kure played bang up ball for the losers, both in the field and with the stick, though Kure had hard luck with some of his long drives. Foster and Kettleman looked good with the stick for the winners, the latter pounding out a three-bagger to right field in the fourth. Wednesday's game was the first of a series of two games to be played with the University of Washington this summer. The other will be played in Seattle next week.

What's all this "dead rabbit" business? Tubby Graves is riot in the habit of bringing up such a good ball team. He gave Bellingham a real surprise Wednesday, as none of us expected to see Normal lose. The Vikings had one of the best summer baseball nines that has ..ever been assembled. They played a nice game, holding the strong Washington outfit to six runs, but the Husky tosser was a little too clever for the boys, and we received but three runs. The Husky fielding was exceptional also. More than once they turned a sure hit into an out. Don Patterson, pitched a great ball for the Viking nine. He sure held the Seattle boys down. Besides performing perfectly on the mound, Patterson hit the ball well, but by neither HOOK or CROOK could Don win^his own game. Joe Baxter looked nice behind the batters and Okerlund knew what he was out on the first sack for. Kure, at short, looked like a real ball player. His fielding was almost perfect, and the way he snapped the old apple to first base created envy in the Washington stands. * • » * • - • # The Husky pitcher picked up his rubber and started to take it home as the first half of the third inning-was over. However, Umpire Odell picked up a bat and settled the matter. Jewell resented this, but Tubby stetled the argument with one of his wise cracks. TUBBY PLAYED CATCHER FOR WASHINGTON, BUT HE LET FLY A GOOD MANY REMARKS. * * * * * 'Earl Hemmi is a good bad actor. Some of us were wondering if he wasn't just acting naturally Wednesday and Thursday nights... Some of us remember him in Ellensburg last Spring. Some of us—But then, Earl, we won't tell on you. * » * * * Theo Norby Was chastised last Week-end up at Hannegan Pass. He evidently knew somebody that none of the rest of the fellows knew..

FISHER AND THAL WILL PLAY Bob Fisher and Myer Thai, mainstays of Viking tennis teams for the past two years, will meet tomorrow on the Normal courts at two o'clock. The match is in the semi-final, round of the Bellingham Tennis Tournament, and promises to be the best seen on local courts this vear. BUSTERS DEFEATED BY KURE'S KRANKS Franz Pitches First Shutout Game While Mates Gather Six Tallies Viking Tennis Stars Making Fine Showing in City Tournament Viking and ex-Viking tennis stars seem to be stealing the whole show in the Bellingham City Tennis Tournament, now reaching its closing rounds, and as a result have eliminated practically all "outsiders" from competition in both the singles and doubles. Bob Fisher, two-year letterman and one of the tourney favorites, won his third singles match and became the first man to enter the semi-final round when he defeated Merrill Bolin, KVOS announcer, Tuesday afternoon at Fairhavcn High by a 6-4, 8-6 score. • In what is sure to be the outstanding match of the tournament, Fisher will meet Myer Thai, his team-mate, during the past two seasons, tomorrow afternoon on the Normal courts. Odds if any. favor Thai to take the match, but its outcome is merely a match of mere conjecture. The winner of the match will be a heavy favorite to walk off with city honors when the finals arc played off late next week. In the upper half of the tourney draw Gordon Broadbent, Sid Thai, and Theo. Norby, all well known Normal players, have reached the semi-final round Broadbent,- first man on the Viking team two years ago, is the most experienced player of the three, but Thai and Norby have been coming along fast in the past year, and cither is considered to have an excellent chance of taking upper half honors. Thai provided the tourney's biggest upset when he eliminated Ed Hannah, once the city's best, by a 7-5, 6-2 score, Sunday afternoon at Fairhavcn. Norby has two victories to his credit, but has to meet an opponent of great strength. Myer and Sid Thai ^advanced to the final round in the men's doubles Sunday afternoon when they pulled another upset and defeated Broadbent and Fisher in a gruelling three-set match. The scores were 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. The Thais are favorites to capture doubles honors when the lower-half winner has been determined. Pitching the, first shut-out game of the season, Franz let Beighle's Busters clown with one hit, and Kure's Kranks broke the win column with an S to 0 victory, in Tuesday's game. Behind the pitching of Franz, Kure's team 'turned in some spectacular fielding, which included a double play, Baxter to Kure to Patterson. Ruthruff allowed eight hits but five errors contributed largely to the large score. Kure, Thomas and Hoggatt were the hitting stars of the game, the former getting three hits in as many times .at bat. The Northwestern National Bank : ?• Bellingham, Wash.

This game is about 2000 years old, having been played in China, Japan and Siani. It was later introduced in England in 1S73. Since that time it has been regarded as an English . sport because it is played most extensively in England. The game is very much like tennis, and is played with rackets much like those used in tennis, but smaller. Instead .of balls, "shuttlecocks" made of cork and feathers, are used. A volley ball net is used. The equipment arrived here on Friday "and since that time has been in constant use. Men and • women both play it.

She sang a varied group of songs and was well received by the students and the people of Bellingham who came up to hear her sing. Many were heard to remark upon the great improvement which Miss Yule's singing showed over performances of former years. Particularly applauded was her rendition of lt;;0h, quand je dors". "Lilacs" ,and the first movement of the aria from "Norma". She was assisted by Hazel Hammer Hill, pianist, of Seattle. "WINTERSMOON" DEALS WITH LIFE'S MYSTERIES EDENS HALLGIRLS PICNIC AT SAMISH Choral Society Will Sing in Assembly The Normal School Choral Society will be presented in assembly Tuesday, August 21, by Mr. Harold Smith, director. It will give two numbers by Kountz, "Song of Man" and "The American Ode". There are about a hundred singers in the society now, including strong units of tenor and bass voices. Rehearsals have been going on once a week all quarter and the program promises to be well worth hearing. Accompanying the chorus will be a twenty-piece orchestra, which will also play "Oproii" by Weber. En-tr' Actes, from "Rosamunde", by Schubert, and Reverie du Soir from the Suite Algerienne, by Saint Saens. (•'Wintersmoon", by Hugh Walpole. Doubleday, Doran and Company. Price $2,00.) Struggles within the souls of men are depicted by Hugh Walpole in "Wintersmoon" in such a manner that one closes the book—Walpolc's latest—after finishing -its reading and just wonders about some of the facts, mysteries and oddities of life. Lord Wilderne Poole and Janet Grandison have embarked on a marriage without love but with a real understanding. Their struggles are many, including those which deal with their place in the existing life, as well as those struggles which arise in their souls as regards their own peculiar relations. In comparison Walpole shows the married life of Rosalind, Janet's sister, and Tom Seddon, with love being uppermost in the mind of Tom, and least in the mind of Rosalind. The interweaving and developing of these lives produces a work which is bound to live for the truths which it reveals and the distinctive way in which they are handled. Walpole has a way of putting his reader in the very atmosphere of the story. Perhaps it is the excellent choice of descriptive words which aids him in accomplishing this. Or, perhaps it is the way in which he links the lives of his characters together. lt;rWintersmoon" has its setting in London and is truly a romance of modern London society, having been written of a period after the World War. "Wintersmoon", with its many traditions of old English aristocracy and London with its ever increasing evidences of modernism, provide excellent opportunities for settings. o Variety of Fun Enjoyed by Dorm Girls on Tuesday Outing. Thirty-eight Edens hall girls left the dormitory at five o'clock Tuesday evening in the Meridian High School bus, bound for excitement and food at Lake Samish. A variety of diversions, including swimming, boating, baseball, canoeing, dancing and eating were indulged in until 9:30, when the girls trucked back to the Normal, tired but happy. The success of the outing is the result of the work of Helen Sheckels and her committees. Vesta Larsen was responsible for the refreshments and was assisted by Bertha Kaylor, Florence Roys, Jane jvenney, Hower-ton and Cwendolyn Shakespeare, Gladys Green was chairman of the entertainment committee. . o MARIAN SNYDER ENTERTAINS Marian Snyder was hostess at a Chinese school party held in the Edens Hall attic, Thursday evening, August 2. Guests brought scissors and paint brushes and worked on decorations for the "Feast of the Lanterns" to be held in the dining room tomorrow evening. After an entertainment of music and the completion of masses of paper wisteria and cherry blossoms, tea was served by the hostess who is chairman of the decoration committee for the informal.

This is the only award change to be again revised. Work has already started on the blue book, with Warner Poyhonen in charge. Because the summer school student body is greatly different from that of the other quarters, the changes in the blue book adopted by the Board will out be presented to the student body for a vote, but will be placed in the book with the approval of the Board. The book will then be ready about September 25. Applications Wanted Applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the Viking will be called for at Wednesday's session of the Board, with the applicants requested to be present. Bob Fisher, present editor, will not be in school during the fall quarter, and it is understood that the only prospect now in the field for editor is Barney Chichester, former business manager, who will return to school after the summer vacation. Harry Appleton, incumbent business manager, will apply to succeed himself. Practice makes perfect, seems to be the theory that the archery enthusiasts are following.

BYRON FOULGER BACK Janet Young Has Been Visiting Ireland to Study Dialect for the Play "Autumn Fire", Feb. 19. The Circuit Company of the Moroni Olsen Players has announced i t s 1928-1929 season to open November 5, with three plays added to the repertory. The three plays to be presented in the forthcoming season are "Expressing Willie," by Rachel Croth-ers, a penetrating modern American satire; "Autumn Fire," by T. C. Murray, a powerful and beautiful Irish folk-tragedy, and Sir James M. Barrie's "What Every Woman Knows," which like all of Barrie's plays comes in a category all its own The growth of the Moroni Olsen organization from the time of its founding in Ogden, Utah, in the fall of 1923 has been quite phenomenal. Not only has it made itself a place of national recognition on its merits as a playing company, but it has made itself a recognized institution in the cultural development of the territory in which its influence has fallen. Janet Young Visits Ireland Janet Young has been visiting Ireland to study dialect for the play "Autumn Fire" which will be produced on Tuesday, February. 19, while Moroni Olsen himself has just returned from a tour around the world. Byron E. Foulgr has been •completing details for the launching of the company's new season -which will be the most pretentious season since the beginning of the organization. BYRON K.

J THESPIAN CLUB HOLDS MEETING HOPPE PLANS EAST iinR Drama Club Holding Tryouts Today for Parts in Play; "Sunup." Thespians Get Under Way for Season of Heavy Activities and Set Tryout Date for Tuesday. (Continued on Page Two) o Extempore Contest to be Held in November, States Miss Madden. All Students Urged to Try Out. Plans are being made for the annual extemporaneous contest which will probably take place some time in November stated Miss Madden. This contest is sponsored by the ^Speech Department consisting of Miss Madden and Victor H. Hoppe. The rules of the contest are very simple. The foremost regulation is that contestants must give an oral talk without notes before an audience. A number of current topics of interest are posted on the bulletin board for one to choose from. The first contest is in the nature of an elimination contest and is usually held in the evening with topics posted in the morning.' The tryouts are held before three judges who decide on the six best in order of their rank. Then another contest is held usually in assembly with new topics. Winner's Name Engraved The first and second place winners in this contest compete in the spring with contestants from the winter and spring quarters. The winner of this final contest has his .name engraved on. a .silver loving cup. In 1927 the contest was inaugurated andv, June Wetherell captured first honors. Last year Margaret Hill carried off the trophy. This contest is open to any students enrolled in the school. "Very good practice is gained in the powder of self-expression by taking part in the contest," says Miss Madden. £ Asi many students as possible are purged to try out as the competition A makes it much more interesting. ;;VfMbjpe ;boys -are urged to take part ]|ito rWi^st^the laurels from their more l U^ive'::frie^ The Thespian Club held their first meeting of the quarter last Wednesday evening at the apartment of Miss Kinsman, the club advisor. A short business meeting was held during which plans.for the present quarter were discussed. A tryout committee was appointed by the president Barney Chichester, who also announced that tryouts for the club would be held early next week. Many of the old members are back, and many new members are expected to try out which promses a very active quarter. o BOARD OF CONTROL DOES N01 CONVENE If Two Members Stay Away from a Meeting, Quorum Is Prevented. Two Members Stayed Away on Thursday, So No Session. Because of the absence of Facul- Representative Ruckmick and Student Representative Marquis, the Board of Control was unable to hold its weekly meeting Thursday afternoon, a quorum not beng present. In the depleted condition of the board, suffering from lack of three members, the absence of any two can prevent a quorum. The main order of business at the session yesterday was to have been discussion of final plans for homecoming, and the appointment of a Klipsun business manager. However but one application for the post of the annual manager has been received, and it is not known whether this applicant will be chosen, or whether the post will again be opened for applications. The Board will probably meet Monday afternoon if possible. The apportionment of funds, the largest single duty of the Board, will take place as soon as possible but probably not until the three new members of the Board are seated, said President Dean Ed-munson, Thursday. _ — _ _ o OFFICE PRACTICE Mrs. Mac Lovegren's class in Office Practice is composed of four members, Christine Grimson, Violet Walch, Celeste Kienest, and Ma ry McCush. Besides these four there are Ethel Hendricks, Jennie Backke, Ruby Purcohl, Alexander Kuzmoski and Peter Kennedy who help, with the mimeographing, typing and other tasks around the Extension department without credit. It is through the efforts of Mrs. Lovegren and these students that we receive the ^numerous stencils that are used in nearly every course. /'•"''•;;'.."}}' • 'A.'..,-,V;"." • To be equal with everybody up-permost is the ^vanity} of all.—-Napoleon; ?

Drama Tryouts Today The Drama club has been holding tryouts this week from three to five o'clock for those who wish to join. Later try-outs will be held for parts in the Drama club play given this quarter. It is entitled "Sun-up" by Lula Vollmer a story of the Carolina Mountains. The drama club was organized several years ago to foster and develop the dramatic art. In carrying out this purpose it has been its policy to priduce a play every quarter. Generally three modern plays are produced during the year while a Shakespearean play is given in the summer quarter out on the knoll on the normal campus. Shakespeare's comedy "The Merchant of Venice was given last quarter. The Drama club meets once a month and a student who once becomes a member has the privilege of trying out for all plays given; IS GREAT SUCCESS Miss Catherine Morse, Social Chairman of Women's League, Makes Party Delightful Success. LIZ GABLE PLAYS Girls Are Greeted Upon Arrival with Gymnasium Decorated Beautifully in Pink Blue Streamers The annual "kid" party given by the Women's League in honor of the incoming freshmen girls took place last Saturday evening from eight to ten-thirty. The girls were greeted upon their arrival by the sight of the large gymnasium-tastefully decorated in pink and blue. The variety in color of the costumes of the girls themselves greatly added to the festivity of the scene. During the evening, there was dancing to the delightful music of Miss Elizabeth Gable, a myriad of games under the direction and leadership of Misses Rosa Van Ess, Frieda Massey, and Beatrice Johnson, stunts put on by the girls themselves, and a number of piano selections rendered by Miss Jean Phillippi. Great credit for the charming decorations is due to Miss Ouida Davidson, chairman, assisted by Misses Marion Snyder, Louisette Bergeron, Marjorie Young, Viola Simmons, Katherine Rood and Joyces Arnold. Other committee were a refreshment committee with Miss Bernice Gnagey as chairman, assisted by Misses Ruth Clark Anne Hall, and Frances Dixon, and an advertising committee which was in the hands of Misses Mary Hib-ner, Dorothy Sasse,«and Helen Fitz-water. Special; appreciation should be given to Misses Longley, Skalley, Jones and Rosene for their able cooperation in making this affair a success. The party was under the leadership of Miss Catherine Morse, social chairman of the Women's League. S TO COME FRIDAY Paul McCool Will Present Piano Recital Friday; .

The program will be in the form of a "lecture-recital" Paul McCoole Here Friday On Friday, October 19th, Paul McCoole, an American artist will present a piano recital in the auditorium. McCoole is an American who has won the praise both native and foreign music lovers. He is regarded by critics as one of the exponents of Chopin and has at the same time an electric piano reportoire at his command ranging from the 17th Century clavecinistes and Bach of the moderns, with a distinctly individual interpretation of each composer. Except for three years of study abroad, his musical training has been American. As a pupil of Boyd Wells, Godowsky, Wanda Lando-wska. and Bhuler, this rather young pianist has become a commanding, capable, and mature artist gifted with unusual musical temperament which he combines with an impressive musical insight and facile ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 12 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON ^ A T F N i n R M A l .

Perhaps we may satisfy ourselves with answers for some of them, but as for others—well, we don't -exactly-— Mr. Fisher stated that in the past teachers have had too much training and not sufficient education. Here we might ask—has the situation been as yet remedied? Aren't we still inclined to be a bit too technical, a bit too strong for method, and a bit too weak in our stress upon a liberal education? Suppose we come before our class of youngsters in our school at PodunkXrossing with a lesson prepared. We have burned quarts and quarts of midnight oil the previous night over the preparation of a lesson plan The plan is quite carefully worked out.- W e know just what to say and what questions and answers to expect from such a group. But here we find the proverbial fly in the ointment. Strange as it may seem the group does not behave in the manner dictated by the book. Out of a clear sky Johnny Jones wants to know if Robert Browning pitched for •the New York Yanks in 1924. Perhaps we can direct him to look it up or admit that we don't know who Browning was or is, but a repetition of such procedure will surely destroy the confidence of Johnny Jones That liberal education would have helped.

BOOK REVIEW "Kitty" by Warwick Deeping Here,is a war story that has-;not a bloody scene in it. After reading, of the dreadful battles of the Marne and Ypres^it is indeed a relief to turn our faces homeward* to see what the home folks are doing. Using London as a background Warwick Deeping creates for us one of the most human, vital women characters that we have met, in literature for a long time. Kitty, a tobacco shop woman's daughter is sweet and good and possesses a great deal of common sense, so lacking. in many of us. Kitty met the man she loved and was married over night but not without due thought and deliberation (Kitty doesn't require as long a time to come to a conclusion as do her more conventional sisters of today and all times.) The story is teeming with clean human emotion that makes us feel that some (how we have touched some of the elemental things of life. The author of "Kitty," "Sorrel and Son" and "Doomsday "knows how to write his stories—they seem to slip along so smoothly without ever -, stumbling over those things the "plain reader" shudders at as "descriptive paragraphs." Whether Deeping lacks such paragraphs or whether they are hidden in the absorbing narrative of his story never occurs to one to ask—so interested is he in the tale itself. S T U D E N T P L A T F O RM When the next legislature of the state of Texas convenes it will contain a young man who is at the same time a law student at the University of Texas. He claims to have won his election on a platform of plain bunk. Perhaps the Normal's yell king and dukes will be elected today on such a platform. Out of today's poll three candidates will be chosen from a possible four, if we may count Phillie Moen. Eldred Bechtel, Roy Croft and .Lyle Markhart have made a very impressive appearance during two assemblies. We want more competition, but would-be aspirants for the job must realize just who they are up against. . Even Roy Arnett with his statement about the Yell king's sweater, and the Yell duke's pins was unable to cause noticeable commotion. "Now we have an incentive, just where are the candidates" was the plea of Bechtel last Tuesday. OUR FROSH Our freshmen of this year need mention for the fine spirit of cooperation they are displaying. The mixer and the Y. W. C. A. reception of last week prove that we have an entering group of students who wish to partake of the spirit of our school. This is an extremely gratifying'outlook for the school year ahead of us. Freshmen, the next two years at normal will give you good returns on your investment of effort. We have a number of real clubs in this school which are of great inspirational and educational value. Therefore may we suggest that you examine the nature of these societies which are now organizing for their fall work. Watch for the club notices upon the bulletin board and join up.

' :'0:'j:-'-:: W,;' Peter' Isuan Pebbled Here is the story of a cub reporter and liis game of hide and seek as he hunted material for that which maketh the Viking both—well, still competing with Stories Snappy. That day when all copy had to be turned in found Tanglevoort E. Whiffen-oggle without any assignment, those persons on his beat absent from school, and the Editor on his heels. Wildly was the morning spent in asking questions here, trying to start a light there, hunting everywhere for a "scoop"—some story that the other news hounds had not covered— but all was in vain, and noonday became the current hour. Having a luncheon engagement to meet, our hero rushed out to wind up the T-model and cross the city. But where was the key—the only thing besides a penknife, hairpin, or nail that would cause locomotion? Every pocket was searched, every book turned up, even the floor covering was peered under, but with no luck... Fifteen minutes of this plus attempting to hail passing motorists did not help the situation for of all freak keys this had it. The only solution to this dilemma was offered by an interested onlooker who mentiond that if the car were at the top of High street hill it might coast to some garage where a new key might be purchased... After following this suggestion— or, pushing for more than a block, and up grade too—everything was ready for the dscent. Joy pulsed in the heart of one young man as the blocks flashed by, but cross traffic will have its way and a forced halt was made just at a point where another strip of slightly raised road made appearance... Again the canal boat method was used but luck, will sometimes descend upon most everyone, so the remainder of the trip—at least to within a block of some garage—was easily done. The engagement was further prolonged when an empty gas tank presented itself but this minor impediment was easily overcome and in a few minutes one smiling face greted one cold, haughty stare. A hasty explanation was made but of no avail for the charge was made t h a t - well, to a woman went th credit, not a tiny key. And now I ask, "Can you feature this?" 1 (Students knowing any good school gossip, hand in to Viking Office.) We deal in exclusive but not expensive scandal.) o BERNARDO M. UNTALAN'S FIRST NORMAL IMPRESSION English 3a Bernardo M. Untalan Oct. 9, 1928. I was just having my good summer vacation when some friends of mine came and asked, "Have you known about the Bellingham State Normal?" Well, I responded as I have seen it when I passed by its' also a good school. It has nice big buildings and very wide campus with the sweeping panoramic view of the city and the Bellingham Bay. It is The Normal-by-the-Mountains-and -the-Sea, as they call it. "We would better come with you then," one of them enquired. We then started for Bellingham and landed in this ideal, beautiful city next morning. We walked directly up the school. When ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 12 - Page 3 ---------- PROSPECTS LOOM IN PRACTICE TILT Bain and Wind Feature Practice Game on Sat. at Waldo Field. Large Number of"W Men Back in School; Some Three-Year Men VARSITY WINS, 20-0 Often- Has Unusual Ability Running Open and Off Tackle Plays. With the opening of the 1928 grid season only a week away, the Viking grid mentors staged a practice t i i t : between the Varsity and the scrubs last Saturday, resulting in a 20 to 0 victory for the varsity. The game was scheduled for 10 o'clock, but as the hour for action approached, only a few of the more optimistic gridders were on hand. I say optimistic because the day was exceedingly wet and unpleasantly windy. Some of the fellows seemed to have the idea that it was too wet for a practice, and were a little reluctant about putting in an appearance. However, despite the rain and wind, enough enthusiasts were on hand by ten-thirty to start the practice. Once the fellows were out and had run a few signals up and down the field by way of getting their blood coursing a little faster and limbering up a few muscles, the weather had lost some of its ominous meaning, and we were already for the real practice to commence. First Quarter is See-Saw To start the game the varsity had wind in its face and elected to kick to the second string. The varsity held the seconds to four downs and forced them to kick, the wind carrying the ball well over Hamilton's head. He recovered and returned the ball several yards before being downed by the opposition. The whole first quarter was a seesaw affair, with neither team gaining an advantage. To start the sec-. ond quarter, Odell went in for Hamilton, and'with the change in players and goals the varsity started a march down the field which resulted in a touchdown shortly after the quarter ended. Odell Shows Ability The third and fourth periods each netted the varsity one touchdown, while Odell converted two of the tries for point. On the other hand the lowly second team failed to ev- •en threaten to score. Outstanding for the varsity in the backfield were Odell who showed unusual ability in packing the ball in the open and on off-tackle plays; Erickson, who plugged the line for extra yardage when it was needed; while Weber and Williams showed to good advantage in toting the old pigskin. In the line there seemed to be no one outstanding player but with a- consistency that makes for better team play the forward wall looked good in Saturday's workout. The fact that there is a decided lack of experienced reserve material will handicap the Normal squad this season. An unusually large number of "W" Club members have returned to the home of the Vikings this fall with the avowed intention of making W . S . N. S. a better and happier institution, if such a thing can be done. i Nine of the clubmen are out for football; Anderson, a three year man; Thorsen, a two year member; Odell and Stickney, both two year men; and Les Cox, Weber, Erickson, Reeves, Hamilton, all one year members Others now in school, and who bring the total up to twenty-one members, are: Ted Clarke; Dean Edmundson, Roy Arnett,' Norman Bright, Al Korsboen, Granny Thor-lakson, Henry Turner, Earl Hemmi, Ward Prigg, Sam Ford, Co-op manager, Sam Carver, coach and club advisor, and Earl Jewell, honorary member and assistant coach. -o — HIKING Hiking is an all year sport which is organized with a definite program and is sponsored by W. A. A. for all women who are interested. The hike last Saturday was the first of the series. The rest of the schedule is: October 13—Trip to Vi-qiieen Lodge (boat trip), October 20—Lake Padden, October 27—no hike. (Homecoming week-end,) November 3—Chuckanut Mountain hike, (only all day trip), November 1-7—possibly morning hike with lunch at noon. November 24—Nor-malstad, December 8—Natural Dry Dock and December 15—Toad Lake. Changes in schedules may be made to fit weather conditions. All women of the school are cordially invited to go on these hikes. Further announcements will be made on the W. . A A. bulletin board. Members of Normal Faculty Take Interest Bowling and Swimming \ Bowling has been a much enjoyed activity among several members . of the faculty during the pleasant weather. Now several of the bowlers have become, interested in swimming at the Y. W..C..A.

There just behind the counter you will see displayed on shelves for your convenience all the colors of the rainbow, and a few more, in the form of poster and art paper. The manager Mr Ford, explained to the Viking" reporter that the shelves were placed there during the vacation, and he hopes that the new arrangement will add greatly to the efficiency of the service of the Co-op. Mr. Ford has added several novelties to the store that should be of especiar interest to the enthusiastic Viking color bearers. These new novelties come in the way of the Blue and White rooter caps. Two new styles appear, the street style cap for the men and the tarn for the women. In addition there are the diamond-top reversible cap, the aviation style cap and the special caps for the leaders o : The subway, electric railway, railroad and motor bus lines in Berlin, Germany, have a total length of 900 miles. , . • •- :—o- A class in German which has been discontinued for many years at the Normal, opened Monday of this week under Miss Anna Ullin.

Politics and religion were some of the topics of discussion, with a few stories mixed in. A program followed the social part of the evening, and consisted of talks by President Fisher, Victor H. Hoppe, Don Stickney and Johnny Moawad. Mabelle Jones, the only girl at the party, furnished popular music and tbe fellows sang. Leslie Cox, with the able assistance of Johnny Byrnes, served good coffee and better sandwiches. Five Hour Class in School Administration Organized by Mr. Kibbe A class in School Administration •is being organized. It is a five hour i course primarily for third year stu-jdents or second, year students who .have completed their sophomore education requirements. This training under Prof. L. A.

For this reason this course will not be offered again until next year except possibly in the summer schedule if it can be so arranged. ; , , • . - ' • lt; •'• • — o Tryouts for Recreation Orchestra This Afternoon Try-outs for the recreation hear orchestra for the ensuing quarter will take place today in the large gymnasium from four to five o'clock.

At present there are two groups, the grammar grade and the Intermediate grade chorus under the direction of Miss Moore. The songs are learned in the class rooms and are those which the children particularly enjoy and which are jespecially adapted to group singing. Some of the songs the children sing for pleasure and recreation while others are music gems which the children take pride in singing in a very artistic manner. Program Is Enjoyed Occasionally the choruses are combined for assembly singing. The following is the program of music which delighted the hearers and those who participated in the Training School assembly Friday, October 5 in the auditorium. 1. Rally by Newton 2. Robin Hood....Italian Folk Song 3. Over the Sea in My Boat with Me : ....English 4. Sing-a ling-a-ling Nonsense 5. A Capital Ship English Folk Song 6. Sea Breeze ...Italian Folk.Song Song Books Presented The children. were pleased with their new assembly books. The words were mimeographed by Mrs. Lovegren and the pages are bound with blue Buckeye Bristol covers. The books contain a variety of selections of songs which are favorites and which represents an accumulation of two years. Miss Vera Gwennet and Louise Dunn are the accompanists for the chorus. _ o —•— VIKING MANOR What we think and know as the best house on the campus is the Viking Manor. It has ten worldly beings, three super Sophs, arid seven meek Froshs. The Republicans and Democrats have nothing on us, for we chose and voted on our officers in three min. two and % sec. standard time. Please stand by. The outcome of the voting was this: Margaret Fribley, a Sophomore, was elected president of the house. Dorothy Wing, a Freshman, was appointed Proctor, and Calra Bjerke, also a Freshman, was elected Social chairman, for no reason at all. •Almost all of the home-sick Freshmen rushed for home over the week-end and tied themselves once more to mother's apron strings again, for almost 48 hours. Emcelia Baxter, from Seattle, took pity on the remaining Viking Manor girls, and brought home chicken. Everyone had a feast, or a part of the chicken, except, her.

Many oddities lurk in the columns of this year's student directory. For we find anything from three "Sargeants" to a "Gunn" or - a "Bpringstel". Three "Hills" ascend the hill every day to school. A 'Guy' may 'Haighf to put 'Irons' in a 'Tarbox'. Yet these names appear in the roster. For tongue-twisters we have picked at random: "Owatonna, Mo-awad, Baaoa, Badosovich, Laakso, and Zylstra. An interesting study in double consonants may be made by borrowing five names from the faculty list: "O'Malley, Skalley, Philippi, Hoppe, and Kibbe." Seventeen Mac's are found, without counting "Maki." Smiths lead in number this year, greatly outnumbering the Johnson clan. BOARD OF CONTROL OFFERS P R E FOR A Committee to Draw Contest Rules, Was Appointed at Last Meeting of Board. FORUM NEXT TUESDAY Notice of Student Representative Election, and of Editor and Business Manager to be Posted Soon. -W. S. N. S.- Whether a blonde or a brunette beard grows the faster and whether the use of hair tonics is ethical, are questions confronted by the male part of the Sophomore class at the University of Washington these days in the 31-day beard-growing contest which began November 20, patterned after a similar contest which is an annual affair at the University of California. I t is estimated that beards about one and a half inches long can be grown in a month, but the Sophomores who age about eighteen-nineteen- twenty may have to specialize in the military mustache or the slim Vandyke. University district merchants are offering prizes for the longest, stiff est, handsomest, reddest, etc. etc., beards grown in this period. And the whole campus is considerably interested in the prospect of looking like a page from the old iamily album. But the Co-ed stoops to conquer. Moire subtely, the women are trying to see who can grow the most hair on the back of their jiecks. -W. S. N. S.- University educators meeting a lew days in St. Louis were reported t o have reached the conclusion that "a deplorable crop of misfits" confronts the educational world as its greatest problem. Spokesmen for the five great universities represented in the conference said it is their greatest concern to know "whom and how long to educate". Mass education as followed in educational systems of this country are to blame for the dilemma, they said. Teachers engaged in instructing pupils of every grade know the t r u t h of the university leaders' statements. They have made no new discovery' They merely gave emphasis to a problem long recognized and discussed wherever educational leaders are fraternalized. W. S. N. S. Nearly four millions dollars are annually lent by 218 colleges and universities to students of character and ability in order to enable them to finish their college education. Walter J. Greenleaf, of the Bureau of Education, found many important things in a study of student loan funds recently completed. "We are living in what appears to be the 'installment age' where people make large purchases by paying so much down, and so much per month. Higher education is no exception to the rule and as an investment, yields a high rate of interest with the passing years," he says. His study shows that in a few cases no interest whatever is charged, while 6 per cent is the rule, yet some charge as high as 8 per cent. Individual loans average $100 to $150, but many exceed these. Repaying invariably begins at a stated period after graduation. ——-W. S. N. S. A. S. P. C. officers ordered their. Frosh to "obey traditions" at the Thanksgiving game of the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma.

The 'New-School-Song Commit-: tee' was appointed by the Board of Control at its regular meeting last Monday afternoon. Catherine Morse, Guy Springsteel, and Mr. Ruckmick were chosen by the Board of Control and two others will be included by this group to make- the rules for this school-wide contest which will probably begin next week and end before the first of the Winter quarter. A Well-Worth Prize Twenty-five dollars is sure to be the amount presented to the composer. Announcement of. contest rules will be printed in the Viking next week. In a school this size, it is thought surely a number of songs of" original composition or transposition will be submitted by students i n the Music department or by others interested. Election and Notices Election petitions will be posted sometime this week, announced Roy Arnett, Secretary of the Board, for a representative to take the place of Guy Springsteel who has served out the four-quarter term of Madeline Bosshardt, now a graduate. And notices of application for Editor and Business manager of the Northwest Viking for the coming Winter quarter will also be posted. The Editor and Business manager are required to be resident students here for at least two quarters, to have a good journalistic standing, and to have recommendation of the faculty advisor. Each receive ten dollars for each current issue of the Viking. Forum Next Tuesday That inter-school debate, letter awards, and apportionment of funds be discussed in an all-school forum next Tuesday, December 11, was also emphasized by the Board. Sam Ford, Co-op manager, announced yesterday that he has just ordered several black and orange basketball suits for the Co-op team, a unit of the intra-mural series. CALENDAR FRIDAY—December 7.

Capacity Crowd Witnesses Normal Drama Production Story of Characteristic Carolina Mountain People Cleverly Portrayed by Normal Cast. Claire Wilson Shows Unusual Ability in Character Portrayal. Tomorrow night in the drawing room of Edens Hall, the "dorm" girls will hold their quarterly in* formal, which promises to be one of the most successful ever held. The 'wintertime' idea will be carried out in the decorations and the programs, under the direction of Virginia Schmidt, social chairman, and her committee consisting of Delores Young, Dorothy Gibson, Alice Sundquist and Louise Dunn. Geraldine McKee and her committee: Jane L'Eveque, and Helen Stine, will have charge of the program. The refreshments committee is: Margaret Hill, chairman, Ann Fillinger, Irene De Vries, and Irene Young. Elizabeth Gable has charge of the music. Ruth Steele is social chairman. Former Student Now Edits Filipino Forum Victorio Velasco, former Philippine student at Normal, is now editor of the "Filipino Forum" which is a six page mimeographed newspaper issued twice a month. Velasco, when attending here, besides writing a weekly column in the school paper, was the founder of the "Scribes Club," and the first editor of the "Red Arrow." Sharpen Your Razors, Girls,1 Boys Plan Razorless Days and Weeks! I n informal group discussions in the office of the Northwest Viking, Wednesday noon, a contest was proposed by the Associate Editor of this paper. The following is the gist of the plan: first: that certain men in this school permit their beards to grow for a period of two weeks, the men in question being Gordon Leen, Vernon Vine, Ben Hamilton and Joe Hermsen. At the completion of this contest the beards were to be measured, and the one with the longest was to have one of the school's most popular girls to shave it off on the landing in the main hallway. The girls in question, and we'll not have time to mention all of them, are Catherine Morse, Jeari Marquis, and Mary Elizabeth Fowler. Everything was fine and dandy until Catherine Morse balked at the idea of shaving a man. When she backed down, so did the others, as they began to realize the penalties for manslaughter and that there might be • difficulty with the Barbers' Union. Then some bright genius broached the idea of having a faculty beard-growing contest. This immediately gained favor. Jean Marquis said that she would use her influence on the dean of men. We wonder just how much influence Jean has. But our. next big problem was to find someone to induce the other prospects, Mr. Beyer- Mr. Fowler, M^ Kibbe, to enter this precarious contest. There were several things that entered into this informal procedure that caused some questions to be raised. For instance, could Mr. Fowler and Mr. Kibbe raise the beards t h a t . woukk compare with those of Mr. Bever and Mr. Ruckmick? Then it was decided that there would have to be two divisions in the contest and prizes a-warded accordingly. At about the time the discussion was getting under full swing and plans were being made for launching the contest, the one o'clock class bell rang and interrupted tbe conversation, but you have not heard it all yet. There may be more about this shaveless talk than appears on the surface. — o George Allez Writes George Allez, who was a former president of the Associated Student Body of Normal and a graduate of 1927, is attending the Library School at Columbia University. In a letter to Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, he said, "I am thoroughly sold on the value of library training for all students and want to teach students how to use the library." Mr. Allez spoke of meetings with Mr. E. A. Bond and Mr. Edward Arntzen, both of wliom aire on a leave of absence from the Normal, and Mr. ElwbodDavis, former fopt-. Last night' the Normal Drama Club presented their quarterly play, "SunrUp," by Lulu Vollmer, directed by Victor H. Hoppe, with the auditorium packed to its capacity. The drama took place in the backwoods, mountainous region of North Carolina. The first scene opened in late September, 1917, just after the United States had drafted men into the army. The third act was in mid-winter at midnight in a terrific snowstorm. A complete new stage set, produced Widow Cagle's cabin in yellow pine logs of the hills. Rustic and quaint furnishings added much to the scenic illusion and gave a perfect background for the action. Perhaps the most difficult of technical stage problems was the creation of a terrific snow storm with limited apparatus. However, this and the sunset and sunrise effects ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- W/^HIN(^N STAT^ ..•'•v:- lt;J.JV,;I-?. r..:- • ' - ^ " ' . H ? ; ^ ;!

A modern tendency is to get away from fear and its bosom companion, superstition. One should be himself under all conditions and situations, rather than trying to be someone else for the benefit of some one person or group of persons. This tendency to try to be that which one is not, is in itself a manifestation of fear of what the other person is going to think. Education tends to do away with the cloak of fear, to make people more self-sufficient, more independent of the opinions of the other fellow. ." —B. H. "Set down, Pap Todd!" FAIR PLAY Every year about this time we begin to wonder just what wold be a suitable gift to give to dad or mother or Jennie or Johnny when December 25th rolls around. Of course the gift must be appropriate but still the price must stay within the meager means of our pocket book. Here is where the Northwest Viking comes to our aid. Each week from now until Christmas the columns of the paper will be filled with Christmas sale advertisements of all the best retail stores of the city. Bellingham merchants by their support are making it possible for the Viking to exist. When purchasing gifts, let's carry a copy of the Viking with us and consult it from time to time. It is only fair that we give our backers some consideration for their support. Liver Too Precious To Use for Fish Food | A Thanksgiving Tragedy I we quote I Due to the sudden popularity of liver, and the consequent rise in price, the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington is now experimenting with new foods for its hatcheries. Liver has always been the best known food, but doctors in these days prescribe it for what-ever-ails-you, so the fishes have to learn to live on salmon eggs, other fishes, meat, and cereals. In dietetics as concerned with feeding fishes, most delicate weighing instruments are used to weigh the fish before and after meals. Fish used most frequently in experiments are salmon and trout. The main point is not to discover how much each fish has gained, but to discover how the fishes are affected over the period of a year or more. o Five Tacoma teachers were guests of Miss Bertha Crawford this weekend. They were the Misses May Howard, Helen Fitch, Winnifred Smith, Blanche Kenney and Lois Clifton. They visited the training school on Monday morning. May Howard was formerly a student of Bellingham State Normal School and graduated from this institution. She and her sister have • written a book for third grade children entitled "The Language Garden." _—, o j "Boys will be boys,' j with sighs, 1 J (To Thanksgiving dinner this I I always applies) | I So, read of two lads who start- j I * ed to fast f j On Wednesday, just a week | ago last.

SMILIN' BOB PRESENTS 'TIME OUT' A Picture with Sound Defects A reporter's life is -just about as good and bad as it is pictured. By that, we mean the reporter's creed is somewhat difficult to live up to. Courtsey, attended by unfailing good humor and a touch of optimism, are requirements of this profession. When a young reporter has doggedly tagged at the heels of a news prospect, (feeling much like the little dog taking an unbidden stroll with his master) and finally cornered his victim, only to be- greeted with the blankest looks, or a defiant "try and get it" stare—then is the time he must hang on to his vanishing sense of humor. Always must he please his prospect— in manners, in tact, and in appearance, even though he wade in the gutter, hide in a snow drift, or climb up dry, warm and immaculate before the 'to-be-interviewed." A good reporter can do this! He is never "scooped"—that most unforgivable sin. In fact, (and this is a dark secret known only to these magicians) a good reporter knows all the news just a few minutes before it happens! But oh, these news hounds! How they love their work and how we love them!

WASHINGTON WEEK-END BATTLES PROVE SENSATIONAL Western Teams Establish Record; Dope Bucket Upset When Bacon ' Is Brought to Pacific (Coast. Last week a double offering of delicacies was served to football fans. The Thanksgiving day turkey feast was accompanied with a : double helping of football games, one Thursday and the other, on Sat- . urday. Many ~ intersectional con tests took place. These games were also marked by some sensational upsets of the dope bucket. One of the outstanding of these --was the Oregon State-New York University mix in which New York, with Strong, the nation's highest .scoring back, was held to 13 points while the lowly Beavers of the Coast Conference walked through the Violets for four touchdowns and one try for point, It was a complete rout of the'-team that had beaten Notre Dame^ Carnegie Tech and others. Stanford, in a most spectacular battle, triumphed impressively over the highly touted Army machine, built around Cagle, an All-American backfield ace, i n ~ a lopsided game which resulted in a 26 to 0 score. Eighty-six thousand" people watched the mighty Cadets crushed, outplayed in every department, of the game by the visitors. Captain Hoffman, in putting across two touchdowns outshone Cagle. Notre Dame Defeated Coach Rockne's Notre Dame Ramblers, tasted defeat for the first time in renewing the third annual intersectional tilt with the University of Southern California Trojans. In the two previous games, Notre Dame had won by a margin of one point, but this time led by Don Williams, the Trojans came out on the long end of the total score to the tune of 27 to 14. This game was the final climax of the complete domination of the East by the West. The, University of Washington in an attempt to come back in its last game of the season with the Washington State College Cougars, made some desperate drives against the W. S. C. goal line but was stopped by its highly touted line, led by Captain Dressel. It was not until late in the third quarter that a pass from "Chuck" Carroll, an Ail- American halfback, to 'Buzbz' Mead-er over the goal line was successful. W. S. C. was unsuccessful in its attempt to come back in the fourth quarter, so the game ended 6 to 0 in favor of Washington. Paul Jes-sup, giant tackle and former Whatcom High athlete, was elected Captain of the Purple and Gold team for 1929. o Frosh Take in Sophs in Soccer Scramble SOPHS HOLD FROSH TO NO SCORE GAME Hard Playing Shown on Icy Field; Frosh Overconfident, Checked by Fine Soph: Defensive. lliit Wi ffl The freshmen were victorious in the first interclass soccer scramble played Monday, at 4 o'clock. A close game was predicted because of the even playing on the intra-mural teams, between the Shin-Pressers; Puddle-Jumpers and Solarites. Slater, freshman captain, made a goal in the first half and Nesheim scored one in the second half. Swanson and the Bergeron sisters played good ball. The Sophomore goal, was admirably guarded by Goodman, who prevented the ball from going through many times. Sollie kicked over the only score for the Sophomores. Individually they played a very clever game. The Sollie, Johnson, Evatt, combination was hard to break up but they were weak in scoring. The final score was: Freshmen 2, Sophomores 1. The team line-ups were: Sophomores: Massey, Captain, Jo-hanson, Ott, Van Ess, Bever, Austin, Sollie, Norwood, Johnson, Zander. Freshmen:.

Tale-Princeton game .which ended On a frozen field, in weather that makes one's teeth chatter and pairs of mittens and woolen sweaters popular, the Freshman and Sophomore hockey teams' battled in their first interclass game, Tuesday. Although hard playing was evidenced on the part of both teams, the final whistle ended a scoreless game. The Freshman team did not demonstrate their usual good dribbling, although Babcock and Swanson made several gains. The forward' line passing was excellent. Many times the ball was swept across the entire field from right wing to left wing. Goodman, "Bumps" star of intramural games, and center forward for the Fjeshmen, was prevented from making her usual long dribbles down the field. The Sophomores were careful to keep the ball out of her territory. Freshmen Confident Over-confidence of the Freshmen team, due to their large number and opportunity for selection was one reason for the score. The Sophomore backfield played a good defenive game, preventing the Frosh from shooting, the ball through the goal many times after it had been passed down the field by good plays. Poor aiming for goals was one reason why the game ended scoreless. The Sophs came toward the goal twice in the second half but failed to put the ball-across. The Freshmen came near to scoring when Goodman shot the ball into the goal post, causing it to bounce back into play. There were two casualties in the game. Reba Moore received a terrific blow on the ankle and was forced to leave the game for a time. Arlene Johanson was bumped between the eyes by her opponent's head. There are two more games to decide the championship of these evenly matched teams. Line-up for the game was: ' Freshmen * Sophomores Gnagey RW Solberg Swanson RI Howe Goodman CF Gable Evatt, E LI Craw, (C) Babcock (C) .... LW Zander Nesheim RH Bever Parkhurst CH ....

Such was the outcome, of thq weekly bowling contests between the Alley Rats and the Pin-Pushers. v The Pin-Pushers led by the city bowling champion, Harry Charroin, won their first game from Sam Carver's Alley Rats by a margin of 60 points. The Pin-Pushers won the first round and from then on they were not headed by their opponents. So far this season, Carver's aggregation has had all the best of the scoring. That is until Tuesday night when the dope-bucket was upset by the Pin-Pushers group. Sentiment has run high between these two teams, and much friendly banter has been exchanged over the possible outcome of their struggles. Following is a list of the players of each team, which is comprised of five men: The Pin-Pushers, Harry Charroin, captain, Barney Chichester, Harry Appleton, Randy Oberlatz, andZeke McClurken. The Alley Rats, Sam Carver, captain, Ed Hunnicutt, Earl Jewell, Oscar Thorsen and Hamilton Church. •'•• -r^o—: -•"' Misses Hazel Plympton, Orpha McPherson, and Anna Ullin, who toured Europe last summer, gave an account of their travels in the various lands, to the Twentieth Cen-turly Club, Teusday evening,.Nov? ember 20.

"My country," said Senorita Nixon," has a climate of perpetual spring, fertile soil, and unsurpassed natural resources. These is no doubt that both Guatemala and Honduras have marvellous futures before them if only they can secure capital to develop them. They will not, however, be a strong political force until the Central American republics can ignore their small differences and consummate a satisfactory union." Much of the time of both speakers was occupied' in discussion of the governmental systems of the countries. Nicaragua, Senor Church explained, "is a very small country, but has such an eventful history that he could discuss only one of the several American interventions. He took occasion to point out to the minister from Guatemala that small countries must make sacrifices for the sake of foreign capital. The International Relations club has received a challenge from the Debate club, and at this meeting a debating team was picked to represent the International Relations club. The members are Brown, Springsteel, and Church. Last year the International Relations club was defeated in the finals by the Philos. • : b "Hansel and Gretel" is Pleasing Opera W. A. A.

The complete cast consisted ISO students. of '•Ruth Bryan Owen Talk Enjoyed by Students at Special Assembly The children of the Training School participated in their annual Festival of Thankfulness on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. This festival is in the nature of a ceremony and is always carried on in a dignified and reverent manner, which is an evidence of appreciation ..on the part of the children. The gifts which were brought and laid at the feet of the Goddess of the Harvest by the representatives from each grade, were symbolic of the gifts to the City Mission. The fruit and vegetables offered were all handled by the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades and made two loads for the dray. The money for the milk fund amounted to $38.50. Some of the children gave unique gifts, the first grade giving a pat of butter made by themselves. Several pictures were taken to be put in the Klipsun: one of the goddess with the gifts and one of the dancers. The dancers were particularity lovely, the costumes being cleverly made to represent autumn and the grapes. It can best be described by the lines written by the pupils: "The leaves are dyed in the colors of the sky. It is now their turn to be free. The wind whistles a tune for the leaves to dance by and they dance for pure joy." Another attractive part of the festival was the decoration of the stage. Simplicity was the keynote and the colors were harmonious and a lovely setting for the colors of the costumes of the goddess, attendants and dancers. — o BARRETT HALL BREEZES Lempi Koli is quite ill this week and unable to attend school. Those enjoying Thanksgiving Turkey at their respective homes were: Dorothy Ann Williams, Sedro-Wol-ley; Sigrid Rossness, Genevieve O' Laughlin, Seattle; Nellie Vander- Meer, Lynden; Lempi Koli, Jennie Saboleski, Aberdeen; Geraldine Warren, Marion Parrington, Viola Scovel, Arlington. A feature in relation to library work which should be of interest to every future teacher is the proposed measure to be presented in the legislature early in January, relating to and authorizing the establishment and maintenance of county free libraries and library service. This bill, if put into effect, will permit Washington counties to levy taxes for the support of libraries. This will be purely voluntary action on the part of the counties, and there-will be no appropriations t requested. It is an astounding 'fact to a teacher that out of the 39 counties in Washington, fifteen have practically no library facilities. The bill will be backed by the P. T. A., the Women's State Library Association, and the State federation of Womens clubs. Thirty one states in the union have such library laws. Out of the seventeen remaining, six New England states have town unit laws. Eleven states do not have laws governing county libraries. — o Life Saving Class Planned A class in Life Saving is being planned for next quarter. This class will be for all girls who can swim well enough and for those who are Life Savers but wish to become Examiners. It is probable that this class will meet for one hour during the regular Thursday evening Splash period. All those who might be interested are asked to confer with Miss Sullivan regarding future plans for this course. GIRLS ENJOY GLASS PROBLEMS AT TEA Three More Social and Bridge Party Near Future.

S. r- A total of forty students failed to keep up to the standards of scholarship demanded by the Bellingham State Normal School, and were dropped at the end of the fall quarter. A number of these may be reinstated by appearing before the scholarship committee and applying for readmission. Committee meets Today. The scholarship committee meets this afternoon in the Dean Bever's office at 2 o'clock, and'the petitions of all those wishing reinstatement will be considered. It has been the practice to readmit, on probation, such students as would' be able to meet the standard of scholarship on further trial. A student on probation will not be permitted to become a candidate for a diploma or receive a teaching assignment in the training school. Rules Given The rules of scholarship are: A student who, in any quarter, has done work of F grade in two or more subjects, aggregating five or more of his registered hours shall be dropped. A student who, in two or more quarters of work, shall have received grades of^.D and F in more than one-half-' of his registered hours, shall be dropped. .A student who, at the end of the fifth week in any quarter or at the end of any quarter, is reported as doing (a) work of F grade in three or more of his registered hours, or (b) work of D and F grades in six cr more of his registered hours, shall be warned and placed on a guidance list. A student shall be taken from the guidance list at the end of the quarter in which he has received grades better than the above standard. - o t— INSTITUTE TO BEGIN i Annual Bible Institute • Sponsored by Normal Y.

Plans were discussed and immediate action was taken on work scheduled for the next three months. In the history of the school there has been mapped out for them to follow this quarter, the Pep club held a meeting last Monday night. Plans were discussed and immediate action was taken on work scheduled for the next three months. In the history of the school there has never been an organization directly in line and responsible for the handling of pep assemblies, rooting, entertainments and various other functions that are connected with athletic and social programs of the school. There has been a keen need felt for such a body and it first started actual formation when the Pep band was organized last quarter at the football games and assembly programs. Musser President The officers heading the club are: JackMusser, president; Joyce Arnolds, vice president; Ann Swan-son, secretary; and Clarence Thus, director of the band. There are sixty selected students in the club at the present time. These will act as charter members with the enrollment being increased to a hundred. Committees are working on the choosing of new members and invitations will be sent out soon to those selected. The club is collecting those with some type of talent that can be used in the social, entertaining or rooting features of the program. Those three points will comprise the main nucleus for the purpose of the organization. Have Uniforms The Peppers will use a uniform mode of dress . The girls will wear white sweaters and blue skirts while the boys will wear white trousers and blue sweaters. This will add considerable color to the rooting section at the coming ball ga^ Band. Members The Pep band, which automatically has membership in the club, played this morning in the assembly after a week of hard practice with the addition of several members. WOMEN'S LEAGUE PLAN TO GIVE INFORMAL IN MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY The Women's Outside Informal, to be given in the middle of February, hints copying of the vogue set by the men and will stage their dance in some outside ballroom, according to information given out by Jean Philippi, president of the Women's League. The social committee, under Dorothy Sasse, chairman, meets this evening to formulate definite plans for the first informal of the winter quarter. The Inside girls' dftnce being staged on a later date. Men's Informal, Annual Keeping the tradition of the school clear by giving just one informal a year, the Men's club dropped all ideas and plans for a dance in the spring quarter, and will lend their time to help the girls with their scoial functions. o-= E COLOR TO BE Final Plans for General Make-up Are Being Made by Year-book's Staff.

Drama Club Quarterly Play Cast Will be Selected from the Drama Club, January 23, Says Director. PLAY NOT DECIDED Production Will be Produced Twice During Latter Part of Quarter, According to Victor H. Hoppe. Auditorium Scene of Coming Examinations Miss Elizabeth Hopper, secretary of the Appointment Bureau, reports the two recent appointments: Opal Jenkins, Anacortes, grades 3 and 4; Jane L.L'Eveque, Great Falls, primary, Achievement tests for the Winter quarter are to be held in the Normal auditorium with the college aptitude being given Thursday, January 16, at 8 a. m. Arithmetic, English and Spelling, Tuesday, January 21 at 4 p. m. And Geography, History and Penmanship, Wednesday, January 22 at 4 p. m. These tests are principally given to students new to the school or those who have not »taken them. Students who have failed them the second may take them over with a charge of twenty-five cents for the achievement tests and fifty cents for the college aptitude tests. A new ruling went into effect on October 1, 1929 mainly that the tests may be retaken only three times. This does not affect students who have taken retests prior to October first. _ o OPEN AERONAUTICS BUILDING A new University of Washington Aeronautics building, a Daniel Guggenheim Foundation structure, was unofficially opened last Monday. The formal opening of this edifice, said to incorporate the best features of- the six Guggenheim buildings in the United States, will be held in April during the Engineer's Open .House Thursday, January 16, and Thursday, January 23, are the dates set for tryouts for choosing the cast of the Drama Club play, according to an announcement made by Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, of the Speech department. The tryouts next Thursday will be held to select forty members for the Drama Club, and everybody is invited to turn out. They will be held from three to five in the afternoon. This would increase the membership' of the club to fifty. Play Not Selected • Then on the following Thursday the members of the cast will be picked from the club members. The play to be used has not been selected, but three are under consideration, and one will be chosen next week. The play is to be given twice, probably en the Thursday and Friday before spring vacation. It will be under the direction of Mr. Hoppe, who has just returned from a quarter's leave of absence.

Study time is a very valuable commodity, and should only be traded for valuable consideration. Not long ago the .University of California issued a booklet analyzing the. factors that enter into effective study. The publication was the result of extensive research by the faculty in collaboration with the student body, and_ represents a type of survey that students would do well to conduct with regard to their own study problems. A few of the thirty-one points elaborated on in the treatise follow: 1. Keep physically fit. Decide upon and stick to a plan which provides adequate sleep, nourishing food, and outdoor exercise, for physical 'fitness, save in the rarely .exceptional case, is essential to mental efficiency. 2. Utilize textbooks effectively. Learn the technique of using the topic sentences, cross references, tallies, charts, indexes, tabless of contests and bibliographies of books as means of getting more quickly and surely at their essence. 3. Master library technique. 4. Review. Review rapidly the outstanding points and issues of yesterday's work before beginning today's work. 5. Scan the assignment as a whole. With an assignment of work before you, take a bird's-eye view of the entire assignment before beginning its detailed study, noting the period covered, the types of facts presented, the procedures involved, the problems raised, and attack the most important issues first. 6. Enlarge your vocabulary. Words are among the important tools of thought. Increasing your vocabulary through observation and a discriminating use of the significant words and terms that appear in your , work will mean an increase in the quality of your thinking. 7. Take the scholarly attitude. Take pride in problems correctly solved, techniques mastered, thoughts well expressed, work neatly done. Cultivate a chronic dissatisfaction with hasty or careless work. Be thorough. 8. Prepare to assume responsibility. Plan for a position in which you will be entrusted with responsibility that will call for the exercise of your highest capacity. This sort of thing makes dry reading sometimes, but if students would incorporate a few of these ideas into their daily thought, being a "Stu- , dent" would mean more to them than merely being the member of a live student body. ., o T H E W A R N I NG A new club recently pushed its way through the great mass of clubs that already smother the institution, to become one of the leading organizations at Normal. The Pep club, a young hopeful, is now in its most enthusiastic state, full of energy, pep, youth and life. It is a'club worth while and a sort that Normal wants. / One thing, Pep club ,we would advise you to stabilize your purpose; make your club stand on a firm foundation that it may continue to live after the present membership dissolves. So many, many of our clubs here are either dead or so far gone that they are a detriment and hindrance to the institution. Most of them are dead or dying simply because they failed to build their organization upon strong, durable, foundations and the heavy, unbalanced membership that was placed on frail foundations merely tottered under the strain of undemocratic relations until it crumbled to an unsightly heap to clutter Normal activity. So, to you, Normal's newest aspirant, we say, build a sturdy foundation that will be lasting and one that our school can be justly proud. Hail, Pep club, long may you live to brighten and foster institutional activities! Well, here y'are, studes... It's a great life, isn't it? Here We are with a' new year, a new quarter, new studies, new books, and everything. The old page carefully concluded and turned over, the new page left in its place. That's (he beauty of it, y'know. There's always a new page ahead of us, fresh, clean, and eager for the pen.

W. L., suggests a course in Discipline for prospective teachers. It almost brought a shudder up ,my spine. You're getting your viewpoint wrong-end to. Get hold of the INTERESTS of children and discipline assumes a very minor place. TOO, DON'T go out with notions of 15 years ago, or even farther back, and be the big crank up in front who is teaching a lot of little nuts behind. The teacher's place is to guide and direct, not to command/ The school room must approximate life, and what is the guiding principle there? That you can do as you please and follow your bent as long as you don't interfere with the,, rights of others. This same principle .will solve all schoolroom situations. Group' pressure can be brought to bear upon the obstreperous with more effect oftentimes than the admonishings of the teacher. I am not alone in this viewpoint, as so great a man as Dr. Edwin W. Starbuck, professor of philosophy at Iowa State University: ."The school is like a garden, not like a factory; character is something that grows as the fruitage of personal conduct. It cannot be produced by machine-like methods. Plant the good life in t he MUSCLES and MOTIVES of children rather than in their thoughts ABOUT conduct". Or, as Miss Gunther puts it, "We learn to do by doing". Don't accept her statement merely because she says it, but think it out. Isn't it so? —E. B. F. They would thereby be forced to take up some line of work that does not require the strenuous mental effort that must be made by teachers, and by members of t he other professions that are open to t he college trained man or woman. There may be a few of the brighter students who can get their subjects without attending class, but they are very scarce. And those who are smart enough to do so are smart enough to attend except when there is something that is really important to prevent them; and if there is something important, it is almost a crime to penalize them for their absence. So the whole thing, as I see it, may be summed up as follows: The student who is dumb enough to "cut" often, does not deserve to complete the course, and would flunk out penalty or no penalty. The student who is sufficiently intelligent to deserve to graduate, is intelligent enough to attend classes. And the student who is bright enough to get his subjects outside of class is bright enough to attend, except when he really should be elsewhere, at which time he should not be penalized for absence.

Our hope and pride, the 1930 basketball team of this institution, will try the first of the sixteen hurdles of the coming season tomorrow evening when they meet up with St. Martins. One thing, we can be thankful that we have such true Norsemen as Ericksori, Thorsen Pederson, etc., to defend our Viking ship. And in all seriousness, they are plenty good, as are Dixon and Kasch, and if the season doesn't start out with a bang, it won't be their fault. We noticed that the U. of W. hoop team defeated Conzaga this week. Nothing startling about thai, it's true, but when you see the name of the high point man, you realize that some people have no mercy on the poor reporters who are instructed to get ALL names RIGHT. Anybody with the name Choeneckei who is high point man in a basketball game with 13 points!! Thank Heavens, we have no one on the Viking squad with an unpronounceable or unspelled name. Speaking about basketball for all, if every man isn't playing basketball in this school, it is his own fault. Take a look at this. There were ten games played by teams of this school this week. Four intramural games were played, the Super- Varsity played the Roland Wreckers, the J. V.'s played the' Blue Ribbon Creamery and iheBell-ingham Business College, and the Varsity played Blaine and St. Martins. Thats seven different teams playing in one week, which is some record, considering the number of men in school. Now to leave basketball for a moment, and shed a few tears over our dear, departed "Smoker'.' Of course, We were somewhat interested in the boxing and wrestling bouts, but what we deplore most is the missing of the "Battle of the Century" between the heavyweights, Brunstad, and Lester, The Great V"oris. But don't give up hope, wc are sure that men like those two cannot forever keep their light under a bushel, but will sometime burst forth in all their glory. A little piece of advice. If you have nothing to do tonight, you can see what should be a pretty exhibition of basketball, over at the Whatcom High School Gym, where the Redskins play Blaine. It is the only high school game in the city tonight. From what we hear, James M. Phelan, late of Purdue, got a warm welcome to his new school last Wednesday. Coming by plane, he was greeted at the field by a big crowd, took part in a parade, was welcomed by Dr. Spencer, received in assembly, and was in all ways shown that he was very, very welcome at the University of Washington. And, by the way, he is Mr. Phay-len, not Fee-Ian. According to all reports, he has always been well liked by the players and fans where he has been employed as coach, and those who know him prophesy success for him i n ! the West. But if you forget everything else, remember this. Tomorrow night, Fairhaven High School Gym. Eight o'clock; Vikings vs. St. Martin's. BE (THERE!' •". Viking To Encounter First College Foe Tomorrow In Shape of St. Martin's Five Strength of Normal Squad Is Unknown as Varsity Prepares to Meet Rangers; Dixon and Thorsen Are Only Lettermen on Blue White Hoop Tearrr. Junior Varsity Plays Bellingham Business College in Preliminary Contest Slated to Start at 7:15. VIKINGS WON LAST YEAR Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the Viking basketball team meets the first collegiate foe of its 1930 basketball season, its old rival, St. Martins, on the Fairhaven High School floor. The Blue and White team will go on the floor to this game as an unknown quantity. Dixon, at center, and Thorsen, at guard; are the only two lettermen back this year. The men of the team are new to intercollegiate basketball, and just how they will show up under fire is still a matter for conjecture, although the Viking fans are hoping for the best. "Dark Horse" The St. Martins team is also a "Dark Horse", but one thing is certain, if they run true to form, they will be good enough. And another thing, they will be out for vengeance Last year the Vikings handed the Laceyites two defeats to the tune of 41 to 15, and 33 to 23. With the 19 to 0 drubbing given them this fall in football piled on top of that, the Rangers will be out for blood. The Viking squad has been working hard for the last five weeks, however, and should be in condition tomorrow to give the visitors a real run for their money. Line-up Coach Sam Carver has announced as a tentative lineup for this game: Erickson and Kasch, forwards; Dixon, center; and Thorsen and Pederson, guards. He has Sanders and Rork as reserves. A preliminary contest between the Bellingham Business College and the Junior-Varsity is scheduled to begin at 7:15. Thursday, January 2, the Varsity trimmed Mt. Vernon Junior College, 22 to 15. Dixon was high point man of the contest with eight markers. HO! The Thespians' intra-mural basketball team continued its unbroken string of victories last night when they swamped, the hustlers 35 to 19. As a result of this win the game between the Thespians and the Philos next Thursday will be a championship affair. McCleary was the star scorer of the afternoon, chalking up 13 points for the winners. The other game of the day was registered as a win for the Co-ops, the Men's club forfeiting because of an ineligible man on their team. With the help of this player they had beaten the Co-op by t he score of 15 to 14. Brinkman of the Men's club was high scorer with seven points.

The Viking basketball team showed altogether too much speed and basket-shooting ability for' the big Blaine town team and so had the pleasure of taking a 39 to 29 victory last night on the Fairhaven floor. Both teams were somewhat erratic in then: team-work, and off on their shooting, but what was lacking in form was made up for in fight, making an interesting game for the spectators. The Normal team showed a greater ability to get shots under the basket, and although many went awry, enough went through to win the game. Kasch, the little blond forward on the Viking team, swished more through the hoop than anyone else on the floor, and took off high point honors with twelve counters. Dixon, center, was next, with ten points. Carleton, forward, and T. Hanson, center, were high point men for Blaine, with nine markers each. Hanson, center, were high point men for Blaine, with nine markers each. Hanson did not seem to be able to get away from Erickson last night to do his usual heavy scoring. It is probable that he missed his brother, Bill, who did not arrive until the last five minutes of the contest. The Borderites staged a rally in the last few minutes of the game, when Erickson, Pederson, and Thorsen all went out on too many personals, but then the Viking subs did a little rallying themselves, and kept the situation from becoming in anyways serious. The first few minutes of the game was nip and tuck, but after they got warmed up t he Vikings pulled ahead, and were leading 20 .to 12 at half-time. The second half was fairly even, with the Vikings increasing their lead by two points. The line-ups are: Normal, 39 .Blaine, 29 Erickson 1 F Carelton 9 Kasch 12 ...'. F Jones 2 Dixon 10 C T.

The rally was called to introduce the new sports for the winter quarter. The meeting opened with an introductory talk by Miss Ruth Weythman, head of the Physical Education department. She told the purpose of the athletic association and invited the new girls to turn out for athletics. Ruth Sammons, president of the W. A. A., spoke on the proposed changes of the constitution. Miss Marjery Horton, swimming instructor, spoke on swimming as a sport and told of the Freshman and Sophomore teams which would be chosen at the end of the quarter. Freshman turnouts will be Thursday night at seven o'clock and Sophomore turnouts at eight. Basketball Manager Speaks Sue McMillan, basketball manager for the quarter, invited all the girls to turn out for basketball, which will be under Miss Milded Jewell and Miss Margery Horton. A group of old members of the basketball squads put on a stunt in which the old fashioned1 basketball player played a heavy game against the modern girl in the modern suit. The old-fashioned idea was also carried out in a swimming stunt. Ye olde bathing suits with fluttering skirts and high bathing shoes made a notable appearance. Tap Dance Given A tap dance was next given by three of the girls in last quarter's tap dancing class. Miss Jewell spoke on badminton, sei'vus ball, and basketball as winter sports and their interest to the girls. Beatrice Johnson followed by a description of badminton as a game and Bernice Johnson described servus ball. There were stunts after each talk in which gay, old-fashioned ladies came out in antique suits. Ruth Sammons spoke of hiking the final winter sport of which Miss Lillian George has charge. The rally closed with dancing to the winning strains of the pep orchestra which offered their services for the occasion. o FAIRHAVEN LEADING IN COUNTY STANDING County Class "A" Standings Won Lost Fairhaven ... 3 0 Mt.

Baker 24 to 11 last Friday, January 3. The South-siders played their best game so far this year, and that, combined with the erratic shooting of the Mountaineers, gave the locals victory. The game was played at Deming. Whatcom Wins One Whatcom, the other Bellingham team, broke into the win column for the first time Friday when they swamped the weak Sumas-Nook-team 47 to 12. The Redskins showed some real class in this game, Walt Bliss starring with 23 points. In the other contest of the week Lynden won its second game in a row by trouncing Blaine 21 to 15.

That StudentsShould Not Lose Contact with Life About Them Was Stressec »y President. OUTLINES IDEAL COLLEGE President C. H. Fisher, in addressing the students last Tuesday in the first assembly of 1930, stressed the fact that students should not lose contact with the daily life that goes on about them. I n his address, President Fisher read selections from the book, "Students Speak Out", a collection of essays written by college students to show up the weaknesses of the present college system. . Normal Fault Free In discussing these failings, which include over stress in college ath- •• letics, unnecesary formality in classes, the distorted fraternity and sorority condition, and other school weaknesses, President Fisher pointr ed out t h a t the Bellingham Normal was almost free of the faults cited. A Utopian College In this connection, Fisher outlined his ideal college, where classes were strictly informal, and where everyone, students and faculty, worked in co-operation, with the single idea of helping each other. He stressed the necessity of estimating values giving the impression that this can be accomplished best through a reasonable degree of contact with the life of the day. 200 GUESTS ATTEND LEAGUE TEA GIVEN IN HALL BLUE ROOM The first social event of t he winter quarter was t he all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League at Edens Hall, Wednesday, January 8. The decorations were simple yet lovely. The curtains of the Blue Boom were drawn and rose colored tapers glowed softly from the mantle and small tables. A delightful program was arranged with Mary McDonald in a dramatic reading, Barbara Bourne in two charming vocal solos, and a number by t h e Willustra Trio. Two Hundred Attend About 200 guests, including the faculty were present. Miss Lucy Kangley, Miss Anna Ullin, Miss Ruth Patt, and Miss Ruth Strickland poured. The committees appointed by Dorothy Sasse, social chairman of the Women's League, worked faithfully and efficiently to make the tea a success. Particular credit is due to the girls who served: Bema-dine Brown, Margaret McQuade, Ruby Wallen, Claire Wilson, eParl Auvil, and Ruth Sammons. o FOUR GAMES SCHEDULED IN COUNTY THIS WEEK HUGHES-SASSE TEA Lyn Hughes and Dorothy Sasse were hostesses to. seventy-five guests at. a tea given from 2:30 to 5 p. m., a t the home of Miss Sasse, December 30. The charming decorations in keeping with the holiday spirit consisted of red tapers, holly and scarlet carnations. Catherine Morse, home from Stanford University for the holidays, sang two solos, accompanied by Jean Philippi, who also favored with a piano solo. Margaret Morrison played a piano selection. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Kirchhaine poured. Four games will be played in the county this week by Class "A" High schools. Two of these will be played in the city, Whatcom vs. Blaine, tonight, and Whatcom vs. Everett, Saturday. Fairhaven High school goes to Lynden this evening to play the Liofis in what will probably be the hardest game of the week. Both teams are strong, and t h e battle will be fast and furious. Mount Baker should have an easy time beating the inexperienced Sumas- Nooksack team on the latter's floor in the only other contest.

According to Doyle, most of the men about school are- pure and undoubtedly will be chased this quarter. • • • Let's talk about my teacher now. A certain party of the education department at the first of the period had written on the board the announcement of the penmanship test last Monday. The notice was read at the same time. At the end of the hour one member of the class, who was tardy, asked the teacher what it was that was written on the board. Talented Cast is Under the Direction of Dramatics Head of Washington State College. £\« . Aimee and Hartley Jealous OF MATILDA'S PUBLICITY WILL CONFER, IS REPORT "Yes, I knew Aimee well,"' was all that little Matilda Quackenroach would 'say late last night, as she unaffectedly •—v.* Vested a sandwich on her knee. (Here the , ' reader gets just a splendid study in short }* story technique. The aim of the story, need we say, is found in the first line, -while the suspense appeal is in the wonder over the kind of sandwich.) Little Matilda and our reporter had gone to the same restaurant. And as Matilda started on her third order of Toasted chicken, she grew reminiscent. Her pa was a big wienie and T-bone steak man from the Custer and Marietta districts. "Oncel in fact," and here Matilda grew confidential, "Once, a man came to papa and showed him a feather that he had found in a sausage. Well, papa, like a true Quackenstump, rose to the occasion. "'Never mind that there feather, mister. That sausage was likely made from a hird-dog."*. Next week we will give the true side of the .story why zoology is not being taught this quarter. Bill Mock and Matilda have made this investigation without outside help. (MORE! MORE!) The management of the American Theater has been asked to be careful in the showing of their current picture tomorrow afternoon. However, we ought to have a big crowd as attendance will not be required. The Radford Art Players will make their initial apeparance here i n the play "Disraeli," to be given in the auditorium Friday evening, October 15. The play "Disraeli" has one of the most clever and "unique plots that has ever been presented on the stage. The title role is carried by Tad Richards, whom it will be remembered won such high praise and recognition from dramatic critics throughout the country,: as a result of his marvelous interpretation of Disraeli This character role is one that all will learn to love as the play progresses, and the entire audience cannot help but live with the misunderstood "Dizzy,' who is a source of amusement to everyone about him, while he appears never to be amused at anyone, except his wife.. Delightful and Humorous. While containing many delightful and thoroughly humorous situations, the play is considered one of the finest dramatic works to be presented on the stage, the plot dealing with the destiny of two nations hanging by a thread, and the manner in which Disraeli weaves this thread into a net thwarting the plans of his enemies is very interesting as well as entertaining. Miss Radford, Director The play will be under the personal direction of Miss Ruth Radford, who last year directed dramatics and the Glee Club at Washington State College. She is bringing with her an unusually strong cast, all members being formerly college people. Tickets are on sale at the Co-Op for all the students, while tickets for the public are to be had at ilarter Wells Music store. At the first meeting of the Sophomore class, held in the Auditorium last Friday at 12:30, a unanimous ballot was cast for Byran Hankins , former president of the Freshman class, Elenore lies was elected to serve as secretary-treasurer, and Lucille Youngbluth received the office of the vice presidency. Bryan Hankins, in addition to holding the office of president of the Sophomore class, is president of the Men's club, and the Social Science club; business manager of the Weekly Messenger, and head football coach at the Roeder grammar school. It has been rumored that due to the brief space between lunch and the election, the voters had not come to their senses, and consequently, the overwhelming ,' victory for Hankins.

HOUR REC HER WRECK HOUR RECREATION HOUR WORK ON KLIPSUN WELL UNDER WAY Tentative Plans of Klipsun Have Been Made and All Contracts Have Been Let. NORMAL CAFETERIA EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR The Normal Cafeteria performs a very useful service for -the students and faculty of the school. Over 250 people patronize the Cafeteria daily. It is operated under control of the Home Economics department with Mrs. Day as manager. The Cafeteria is open from 7:30 a. m. to 4:00 p. m., during the school week. Hot lunches are served from 11:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. The aim of the Cafeteria is to furnish hot meals at noon for all who care for them. As it is not a profit making proposition, the prices are made only high enough to cover operating expenses, thus furnishing patrons, one of the most economical of eating places. Students are assured of the best quality of food and it is the purpose of those in charge to serve balanced meals at minimum prices. Work on the Klipsun, the school annual, which is distributed in June, is well under way, according to reports from members of the board. The book has been tentatively planned throughout and the contracts have been let. The Union Printing Company, of Bellingham, received the printing contract^ the photography contract has been let to Jukes' studio, also of Bellingham. The engraving for. this year's annual will be done by the Western Engraving Company, located in Seattle. Mr. Wyman, editor of the 1925 "Tyee," of the University of Washington, who is connected with the Western Engraving Company, will help to plan the Klipsun, He has conferred with the Klipsun board regularly during the summer quarter. The Klipsun staff is not yet complete but it will be organized soon. The following serve as officers on the Klipsun board: Dick Burghbffer, editor; Sverre Arestad,, manager; Mrs. Vaughan, advisor; Vernon Zachrison, Edwin Slocum, and Donald Ross, class representatives. Work on next year's annual will begin immediately. o HORACE ON MARRIAGE Moroni Olsen and his repertoire players will present "Dear Brutus" in the Normal school auditorium on Saturday, October 30. The play will be presented under the auspices of the A. A. U. W. "Dear Brutus" is considered one of the best plays that James M. Barrie has written. Sir James M. Barrie ought to be the happiest man in the world. Not because he has contributed so much happiness to so many people, though that ought to be a source of joy in dark hours, but because he is one of those extremely rare artists who can actually embody their conceptions. His dreams come true. At his desk, he is visited by visions so fantastic that he must often laugh aloud in solitude; but the amazing thing is that he can make the whole wold see them as he sees them. The tragic disparity between conception and execution that tortures even ac-nent members. The entertainment company is directed by Moroni Olsen, who studied in one . of the leading dramatic schools of the East, and spent some years in stock, and as a platform reader of plays. He has been asso-ciatea' with Maurice Brown and Ella Van Voikenburg in "little theater" ventures in both Salt Lake City and Seattle, and appeared first in New York City as Jason, in their production of Euripides' "Medea," at the Garriek Theater, March, 1920. The Moroni Olsen Players, who appear Saturday evening, October 30, in "Dear Brutus," at the Normal auditorium, under the auspices of the A. A. W. W., are a circuit repertory company consisting of eight permanent players all of whom are accomplished artists, vanishes here before the creative power of genius. Miss Janet Young is a graduate Of the University of Oregon. Her home -is in The Dalles, Oregon. It was largely through her zeal and per-severence that the present venture was made possible. In 1923 she We'll arrive at the right conclusion at last. By the way, don't forget the recreation hour in the big gym this afternoon, between the hours of four and five. Above is a cut of Henry Durr, big shoe and shine man, performing at a recent matinee affair at recreation hour. It has been the custom in the past to have an hour cf dancing every Friday evening...

REPAIRS ARE MADE IN MAIN BUILDING General Cleaning of Building by Corps of Students Has Greatly Improved Looks. During the past month, all the buildings of the school were subjected to a general cleaning, and many much-needed repairs were made. Under the supervision of J. C. Gwin, new head janitor, a corps of students "house-cleaned" the main building and Edens hall, while the main halls were repainted. According to Pres. Fisher, the plant was never in better condition than it is now. The main building is in better shape than it has been for many years. The big gymnasium in the training school building was painted and its floors relined, and the little gymnasium was gone over thoroughly for the first time in recent years." In addition to having the main hallways and stairways painted, Edens Hall was touched up in all needed spots and is now veritably a modern up-to-date ultra-respectable abode and eating -place.

The opinion today stresses the fact that the Inter-Club Council is governing club activities. Of course it is. That is exactly the reason for its existence. If members of clubs are not interested enough in the affairs of their clubs to send representatives to the Inter-Club Council meetings, their affairs needs must be looked after by others. It is perfectly obvious that club activities must be governed by someone. If club members are not wise enough to send club representatives, neither are they intellectual enough to care who governs them. LONG LIVE TB3B B3M1,!! This statement, namely, long live the king, is not incredible, nor superfluous, when applied to that most magnificent and exuberant of all sports, football. Tomorrow will see the Vikings pitted against our opponents of former years, the Irishmen of -Lacey. The liacey gridders are consistent fighters and generally give the Vikings a good battle in any line of sport. Suffice it to say at this time that anyone wishing a novelty, should by all means be present on the field Saturday, as the Irishmen are quite spontaneous in their natures and may pull a stunt any old time. The inroads made by professional teams in football do not detract enough from college football to make it dull and uninteresting. The rooters and the spirit of the fans make a real football game. These two essentials are lacking in professional gridiron encounters. Carver's men will be out fighting hard for their Alma Mater. You should be out yelling hard for your team and help it to win. A football team is only as good as its backing. Make it your duty and after the battle you can be assured that you will consider it your privilege that you attended. Tomorrow you will get a sampling of that greatest and most astounding of intercollegiate athletic activities. Don't deny yourself. this opportunity. Come and see two well matched teams battle for supremacy. Don your outdoor togs and meet .us .at'.the-game. Actual playing starts at two-thirty. Student activities tickets admit. —p— — DR. SUZZALO GREAT EDUCATOR Dr. Henry Suzzalo, ex-president of the University of Washington is, in the minds of the greatest men and women}. of America, a truly great educator. In recent years, Dr. Suzzalo has done a remarkable piece of administrative work at the University of Washington. He has won national recognition by raising the standards of his university from a low level to second to no college or university in the country. Dr. Suzzalo possesses an intellect that projects endlessly into the future. The new library building on the U. of W. campus is sufficient criterion to ascertain the credibility of this assertion. In addition to. possessing constructive administrative char-^ acteristics, Dr. Suzzalo is an author of note, and a recognized authority on child psychology. It i s a most regrettable deed that our great educator was so unceremoniously ousted by the Hartley regents; regrettable not for Suzzalo's welfare, but because the State of Washington is losing one of the greatest, most forward looking, broad-minded educators that she has ever had. Committees^iB^e%-B^eii:. Apr pointed to Look After Walls, Stage, Tickets, Advertising. The second grade, under the supervision of' Miss Moffatt is constructing a theater. This work is a continuation of similar work being done i n the first grade. Lists of various things which might be constructed were posted on the board and then voted upon, the theater received .the highest number of votes. The material used for its construction consist mainly of packing boxes. The walls are covered with heavy' construction paper, decorated by the Art classes. Committees were appointed rto take charge of the walls, stage, tickets, seats, work aprons and advertising. Thirty-five minutes each day are devoted to the real work of measuring, sawing, fitting and hammering, during which time each person works with his own committee, not leaving until his particular task is completed. Various problems have arisen, such as ventilation, the style of seats, i ow to make the stage floor level and how to decorate their theater. These difficulties have been successfully met and overcome, through suggestions from the pupils themselves. After each work period comes a period of oral discussion wherein each child tells, of his own part in the building of the theater. The theater will be used constantly in the production of little splays and in the dramatization of daily lessons. The aim of such work is to establish habits that will carry over into real life and such attitudes as co-operation, perseverance, interest, and industry will most certainly carry over. An interesting name has been given the theater. It will be called the "Midget." The name was suggested by one of the pupils.

MigsieiAKfi WITH SELECTIONS vwwvwwwwwwwww Student Opinion ABE YOU A MEMBEE? " I will admit, however, that the Thespian,club is the best jui school—second only to the Philo club." A clever statement, indeed. Every nominal, verbial, or adverbial ingredient exudes cordial loyalty or else explosive-patriotism. Conditions extant among the sundry social and departmental organizations of the Normal approach as Utopian a state as could be possible in regard to clubs. No one who has become affiliated- with the Rural Life gang rues his lot and wishes he were with some society diverse to that rustic aggregation. After all,-the social phase of student life is necessary andA should* be equally regarded with the instructional side of the thousand students at ; the Normal. No healthier sign of school spirit, that something, like the weather, about which we talk so much and do so little—no finer symbol of that spirit can be manifest than by the memberhsip of a student in some organization outside the classroom.

English tests have shown trackless trolley busses more economical to operate than gasoline Vehicles of the same capacity / Special interests of school life, such as debate and dramatic workj music and news writing, are maintained by gt; the students of the Normal school for the sole purpose of giving the most pleasure and profit to every student who may wish to take advantage of them. Although all of these activities.are not directly connected with the course of study, each" one is closely related to some department of the school. In this way, direct help and greater opportunities for benefits are afforded.. The Drama club, for which organization anyone is eligible to t ry out, produces a modern high-class play each quarter. Much pleasure and careful instruction in dramatic art are provided in this work. Credit is also given those who participate in the quarterly production.

"That's the spirit, Bill." . " • gt; Marcella Hawkings, all around Viking athlete, who is now holding down an end on the grid team, looks as ^though he will eventually win a coveted "W" sweater. Boyd Staggs, veteran Viking quarter, surprised everyone by coming hack to school this fall and plugging a vital Bpot in Coach Carver's offensive machine. Boyd has a worthy understudy in "Boliver" Estill, who is able to take over Boyd's, duties any time need arises. Ray Christman, star tackle of last year's team, expects to enroll soon. "Football is contagious, isn't it,' Chris?" There will be no need for grid fans to travel to see a George Wilson or Ernie Nevers in action as we have a man of their potential ability in our midst, introducing Russ Seymour, who is doped to wreck opposing lines. Ockie Thorsen is sure to gain the plaudits of the multitude, when he gt;gets his chance, if judging form past performances mean anything. Ockie helped carry water during the Normal- Alumni game and received a _great hand. Fortunes Can Bel Seen Glittering in Off ing is Claim The New York Yankees took a commanding lead over the St. Louis Cardianls by winning the fifth game of the World's Series, yesterday, in Sportsman's Park, St. Louis, by the score of 3 to 2. Behind Herb Pen-nock's steady hurling, the Yanks took the tilt in ten innings, coming from behind in the ninth to tie the score. Pennock winning his second game of the series, allowed only six hits to the nine given by Sherdel, Card moundsman, and ran his string of world series victories to four. He now threatens Jack Coombs' record of five victories and no defeats. The first game found Herb Pennock, star southpaw of the Yanks, hooked up in a pitching duel with Bell Sherdel, Card pitcher. Pennock, allowing only three hits, emerging victorious to the tune of 2 to 1, giving the American Leaguers the initial victory pf the series. The game was uninteresting, only nine hits being made by the two teams. Grover Alexander, Cub castoff, was the hero of the second'clash, giving a masterful mound exhibition and allowing but four hits. Urban Shocker fell victim to a barrage of St. Louia hits and rdropped jfche ^contest, (5-2. The two teams resumed Tuesday in St. Louis, the Cards opened their home stand by taking the game, 4 to 0, and went into the lead, two games to one. A pitcher again was the feature of the day, Jesse Haines, Card hurler, shutting out the Yankees with 5 hits. The fourth game, on Wednesday, saw the beginning of heavy hitting, Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat, the Colossus of Clout, and the Batting Bambino, proved himself worthy of his title by socking three homers and leading the Yanks to a 10 to 5 victory. In knocking these circuit clouts he broke six existing world series records. Waite Hoyt received credit for winning the game, but pitched poor ball, giving 14 hits. The Yankees made a like number, but numerous free passes to first by the five Card hurlers, coupled with Ruth's three four-baggers, gave them a 10 to 5 win. Homecoming Day comes November 6, and with it the Cheney game. This is to be pur big day, as well as our big athletic contest of t i e Fall quarter... All of us have to boost this day and make it a success, not only in other events, but also at the game. The.. Washington - California., mix comes at the same time in Seattle, but in spite of it we'll have to make our 1926 Homecoming a wonderful success. Let's be out 100 strong at Waldo Field, Saturday, November 6, at 2 o'clock. The first game of the season comes tomorrow. With a wonderful team on the field and a strong opponent, we students should and must be on hand to root the Vikings on to their first victory. St. Martin's does not often conquer Normal, but always gives us a stiff battle, so a good contest is assured. iimnmotrwiimiuBrimmiuHaBiuiwiaa to boast of. Not in the past three years have these three rivals been conquered in one season. ..—'- The U. of W. Frosh game comes again in Seattle. It. is not often the Viking team can vanquish the Frosh, so a' game here has been a big attraction in recent years. However, the Washington faculty has made a ruling prohibiting the Freshman footballers from leaving the campus more than once a year, and as a game with W. S. C. is their big attraction the Vikings have to play at Seattle again. OLSON PLAYERS TO BE HERE OCT. 30 We seem to have the best football prospecjts for many years. Four star lettermen and fifteen high school grid luminaries promise possibilities of an undefeated year, a thing which has not happened within our memory, Ellensburg. Cheney and the U. of W. Frosh are doped as the big hurdles, and if the Vikings get over them, B. S. N. S. will have a team Professional ahtletics seem to be slowly but surely conquering every kind of amateur sport. Pro. football has, during the last two seasons, made inroads on intercollegiate competition, taking several 'collegiate stars and many grads from amateur ranks, but still is of an inferior grade and holds less attraction to the sporting public. Now tennis, the last stronghold of amateurism, is giving up the ghost and many stars are being signed to contracts as professionals. Suzanne Lenglen-started it by signing on the dotted line for C. C. Pyle, manager of Red Grange. Slowly the other greats and near-greats follow. To date, Mary K. Browne, Howard Kin-sey, and Vincent Richards have deserted the ranks. Richards will, of course, be .banned from amateur competition, and with" the French yearly growing stronger, it looks as if the Davis Cup will go to France next year for an indefinite stay. VIKINGS OVERWHELM ALUMNI SQUAD 28-0 At Times Play Raggedly, but Show Speed and Endurance to Conquer Former Stars. As this year of 1926 has been the greatest sports year throughout the country, it also promises to be a great one for the Viking warriors in all intercollegiate competition. They are out to uphold their t r i - Normal championships in track and tennis, and to wrest football, basket bail and baseball laurels from the Cheney Savages... The football team seems to have made a good start in early practice, and with the most promising material of recent years turning out, the Vikings are put for an undefeated season. W. A. A. Organizes for Fall Quarter at First Meeting artunes are glittering in the off- ,-ihg, Normally speaking. That is, 'speaking from the Normal student's •/point of view. For the World's series is on and some of the boys whose accumulations of summer earnings are still fairly hearty, are developing the itching palm and sending in the atmosphere the chance to "clean up." I t seems to be just about a toss-up as to which is the favorite. Opinions differ and money is put up with feckless abandon that betides patched trousers about mid-year for some, while a heavy date of big blowout to Vancouver is ni store for the luckier half. Yes, headquarters, as per usual, is Harry's. Not that Harry objects, for he is doing a land office business in milkshake debts. Even the most timid and cautious of souls usually loosens up to the extent of a milkshake bet. But if you want to know why and how it happened, or just why and how it didn't happen, listen in at Harry's sometime. If all the opinions could be gathered that have been aired there, nay not opinions but convictions, the two managers would be at once the greatest geniuses and boneheads living. ,' With the 'results of each game comes the brightening of some countenances and darkening of others. When the Yankees win, one half the schqioi smiles, when the Cards are victorious, the other half is jubilant. Instructors can easily tell the prefer-, erice of a: class- by . its attitude following a game.'

Gives Welcome The Y. W. C. A. held its annual reception to welcome new students, Friday evening in the reception room of Edens Hall. Before the guests entered the room each pinned on a slip on which was written his name. These helped in making an informal introduction. The program which was composed of readings by Miss Dewey, instrumental selections by a^ trio composed of the Misses Squires and Clara Jacobsott, and vocal solos by Ruth Newell, began. Light refreshments, followed. Besides the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A. which is held every'afternoon at four o'clock in room 308, it is planning Bible and mission study classes.

C. Fries, professor of English at the U. of i;;^H(ieJiiig»n..:-.. Dr. Fries declared that schools of this country are paying too much '.attention..' to., methods., and., not enough to the practical use of English in present-day affairs. ''Are rwe/^LhV said, "going to continue -wasting our. time teaching this make-believe grammar and these l i n e distinctions in verbs which.are mainly junk, or are we going to ] approach the subject of English scientifically and educate the teachers so t h a t Ihey will be equipped l o r dealing with these problems? Colloquialisms long in use in English are still looked upon here as being incorrect. We are ultra-con- .servative in this respect." I t was'recommended that modern English be; looked upon as a distinct zfield for.language study, and that a course of study of three hours a week should be a minimum for .the training for undergraduates., preparing to teach in secondary schools. r ' * * * • ' • • BeardTgrowing gets the limelight in practically every college patper in t h e West and Middle West.

Funds Main Question .;.. The apportionment of student funds was by far t h e most important, and widely discussed question at stake. The issue was early brought up in regards to t h e fact that drama has never had any share of the student funds and deserves some support. "Students are allowed admittance tov the Drama club plays by showing their student activity tickets, but no share of the money for these tickets is allowed for the production of these plays," said Barney Chichester. He also pointed to t he fact that the Drama club should be.given place over.debate because they provided something for t h e students at large while debate only took the small percentage interested in debate. Financial Report Requested Several other students expressed themselves in favor of support for drama but "before any, conclusion was reached Harry Appleton made request that the secretary, Roy Ar-nett, make a, financial report in order to determine if there was money for this -purpose. President Fisher, who is responsible for t he budget system, explained the plan and compared the system with that used in other institutions. Almost the entire fee, in other schools goes to t h e maintenance of athletics and admission is charged to all entertainments like the musical artists course and social affairs, while at Normal all this is put within the reach of all students by taking the cost from the student activity tickets.

The reason, which is quite • -simple, is readily seen in the fact that Dramatics receives not one cent ^frogarthe,Normal school in the way of apportionment from student funds. : :Why it is-that, athletics (which we grant of course are necessary and Reserving) should receive nearly half of the six dollar student activities % fee, and dramatics, which,we must admit is a worthy activity, receive absolutely no recognition, is a mystery to many of us—a mystery that needs immediate solving. jWVWWVUMWAVJWVWA (Eakniar FRIDAY—Dec. 14.

Quarter after quarter we meet strange faces whom we make no effort to know; we are restricted by that tiresome convention of "Well, we haven't been introduced yet."

Under the Dickinson rating-system, the Trojans of Southern California are the national football champion of America for 1928. Notre Dame was the first team to win possession of the Rissman national intercollegiate football trophy in 1924, the first year it was offered, followed by Dartmouth, Stanford and Illinois. Three national championship awards in ten years are necessary for permanent possession of the trophy. The first five teams in "order of their rating are: Southern California, California, Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Stanford. The Pacific Coast is well represented by three teams in the first five places.

The game was the '•''"0mm^- 6t:;''a..r¥taee game series in which the Frpsh won the first game iby a score of two to one. : • ?The second game of the series jWB a battle royal, in which the regal ; robes became badly "besmeared with m u d a n d water. First the Frosh scored a goal, which made it look rather dark for t he Sophs. However a little later with a powerful rush and the unusual scoring ability,, of Dorothy Sollie, the Sophs, managed to shove over. V score to tie up the game. For the rest of the game there was a - see-sawing of t h e two teams up and • down the field with neither team being-^able to gain an advantage, and when the final whistle sounded over the mud-covered battle field, the score still stood at one all. Thus ended the second game of the series. The score of the third game has already been told, but that is not half of the battle. It took real courage to go into the third game of the series. One thinks of football players as being courageous when they go into the field of mud and water for the- honor of their' school,; but it must take much more courage than ever for two soccer teams, and women at that, to take the field on a wet and rainy day in December, when all there-is at stake is the honor of two rival classes. Such were the conditions prevailing last- Monday, when the Frosh and Sophs clashed on the field of glory in one of the moL-.t colorful battles' in the history ' of women's soccer in this school, a.tfd ended in a nothing to nothing tie. By virtue of their winning the first game of the series the Frosh were acclaimed the interclass -champions,, after the third game had been played to a tie until darkness forced a halt. Outstanding in the ranks of t he Freshmen were Florence Goodman, whose performances were nothing short of exceptional; Lois Slater, who is acclaimed- one of the fastest in .the sport in this school; ,Mary Beth Parkhurst.the two Bergerons, and Anne Swanson. For the Sophomores* Dorothy Sol-lie, one of the women's best all-round athletes was the . leading scoring punch for her team. She coupled with Rosa Van Ess, were • t he most feared of the whole Sophomore team. Also Beatrice Johnson and Genevieve Evatt were on the list of Sophomore stars. : — O — Full Program for Women Is Planned The winter sports schedule for women just announced' by the women's P.

The first game was won by so large a csore that there was very little offered in the way of' competition. The second game was a little closer. But the Normal team won handily by a safe score. Radosovich Leads The Normal scoring attack was led by Johnny Radosovich, who tallied six points in t he first half and came back to ring up five more In the second half, bringing his total to eleven. Close on t he heels of Radosovich was Les Cox, Normal forward, who chalked up nine points after his name. In fact all the boys were in on t he scoring end of the game except Weber, who was not in the game long enough to get warmed up. The coaches have worked up a good scoring combination in Cox, Dickie, Bay, Radosovich, and Leatha. hTese boys show promise of future possibilities and will bear watching. " Kappel, Y. M. C.

SERIES FROM FROSH It seeinsthat-'the Frosh and Soph girls never tire of jumping at each other's throats. hTis, time it is i n the noble game of volley ball.'The two classes are sighed ..for "a nine-game series! Three of t h e games are to be played each night for three nights. , / The first .of these three groups of games was played last Thursday. The Sophs were the victorious team a n all three of t h e first group. Then oh Tuesday evening the Sophs won the second group of: games. The first-of these was a nip and tuck affair. The , Frpsh , got off to a good lead before the Sophomores could get under way, but their lead was of short life. The second year women finally won the game after having tied it up three different times during the fray. Second Game Tame The second game was. more or less a tame affair, with the Freshmen bringing up the rear nearly all the way, and it ended in another victory for the second year girls. The winning of the second game signified the close of the series, since t h e Sophs had won five out of the scheduled nine games. The finishing- of these games brought to a close the volley ball competition for this quarter. - Like all other ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 December 14 - Page 4 ---------- falliilNIDE«WNP THIS TIME OF YEAR III .''^jauriito^^ Sketches;; Friday Is to Bro^iawt over Station K V O S #«*$* : ^ ^ | e | ( ^ ^ ^ | 6 p p ^ chairman of the iiMi(*^CdM*ai^ent, Is miicli in: de- :;pan lt;t ^ ; t n i s t ^ of the y^ar to : ' ' ^ ^ i * ^ l ^ . , t h a t . are, appropriate ^fie)g^rlt of the holidays. ?i§^kf';ftilfc:H^pe;has developed the ar$ s ! i S 0 i ^ ; Bresrai£ation of Christmas sketch- ^W^imtil?';he.-y'has;; : become; -quite i?|S;MP!^u^*'; ' ** n a s always. been -a !l|||;p'i^raclifcton in the • Training school |!||^i|i|^-;|^'',Present ..Charles,.

By G. W. LEEN i —-—* The word HOMECOMING" is probably the most used word spoken on Normal and college campuses at this exact time of t h e year. University of Washington hak just sounded the call to the old grads; Cheney Normal:, plans., its fifth annual for November 3; and Washington state just got through -with its Homecoming last week. Thousands of grads, undergrads, dads, and prof s t he country over are getting into the Autumnal swing of Homecoming. In a setting of colored leaves with an added crisp-ness t o t h e air of the mid-Fall days come all back to dear old Alma Mater... Each is welcomed by different committees, schools, and programs; and all receive from and give to t h a t cherished annual time, almost an institution known as— HOMECOMING! Students and Grads to Serpentine at 7:30; Bonfire Stunts to be Feature of Friday Night .Reunion. GAME IS SCHEDULED Lunch Will be Served Saturday Noon at Edens Hall and Cafeteria Armory Dance Will be Saturday. Washington has also planned a dad's day program to be given tomorrow. Sons and Dads will banquet, see the Washington-O. S. C. game, and tour the campus. The day promises to be a full one. Among the things which will betold these paters of Washington is that their boy is much less expense to them than their daughter, the co-ed. As the university students are fond of making surveys for nearly every phase of campus life, of course they made statistics concerning their annual claihihg bill. They found that the'-Women require one-third more money .than the men. The co:-eds pay out a million and a half for clothes, the,..,-• men, $350,000,. Aspjhie'dads wilVbti told that there are half again as many men as Women at the University, yet the girls cost another million yearly. By the Way, the mayor of Beilingham, John A. Kellogg, is to be one of the six speakers on the program. .Will he talk about the high cost of living? After making an elaborate ap-for .every 21-year-old, registered student to vote in the coming national'election, an; editorial in a sister Normal school journal continues and asks that said voter be present at the .polls on November 11. An innocent error, yet should the green, non-fact-minded, and first-time student voter obey this appeal to the polls he would be voting on Sunday, and secondly on an international holiday. To make up for this slip of the typewriter, we read on the back page -of this journal, and under the caption "notice" the following, "Beilingham has a crack man in a big 200-pound linesman from Anacortes." We forgive you, Cheney! Preparations are complete for the fifth annual Homecoming celebra-. tion. Promptly at 7:30 all students and "old grads" will join in t he traditional Viking Serpentine which will form on High Street directly in front of Edens Hall and proceed through the main part of t h e city with as much hilarity as possible, then return to Waldo Field to meet old friends and join in the songs, yells and stunts around the big bonfire. Lunch at 12:00 Saturday morning the alumni will find the campus and vicinity of the school gaily decorated in the white and bule of t h e Normal-by-the- Sea Then at 12:00 at Edens Hall the luncheon for all students, alumni, and faculty will be the first event on Saturday's program. The tickets are priced at thrity-five cents for all people outside Edens Hall They may be obtained from Evelyn Craw of the W. A. A.

The last of the Homecoming celebration will be the dance at the Armory at 8:30 for all students and alumni. The building has been beautifully decorated by Dorothy Sasse and her committee for t he farewell to the alumni until next year. Surprise Feature iri Football Programs KATHRYN MEISLE WILLSING THURS.

Here Kathryn Meisle of the Chicago Civic Opera Company, acclaimed by our leading critics as "one of the world's great contraltos", will open the 1928-1929 musical artists course in the First Christian church next Thursday evening, November 1, at 8:15 o'clock. Miss Meisle is a thorough musician and possessing a charm of personality and a sincerity of manner she has achieved a leading position in opera and concert in this country. Her voice is of that rare and fortunate quality known, as a natural contralto It is a voice of great power, rich,and full in tone, ;of r e markable flexibility which she uses with unerring judgment and fine control. Is Great Recital Artist Aside from her success on t he operatic stage, Miss Meisle has equally established herself in the concert field as a "great recital a r tist" Some of' her important appearances have been with the Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia Symphony Orchestras. The choice of Miss Meisle for the opening number of the season is indeed an excellent one and it is expected that the auditorium will be crowded to capacity. One of the features planned, for assembly this morning was the sale of souvenir Homecoming Football Programs. The program this year is a 32 page booklet cut in the shape of a football.*' It is dedicated to the new library and a full page cut of the Normal's new building occupies a place of honor. Several new features have been added this year, chiefly of which is a surprise contest conducted by the Spike Nash Motor Co. Details of this were to be announced in assembly and at the game Saturday with Cheney. Norman Burchette, former manager and editor of the Messenger, and Harry Appleton, manager of t h e Nortwest Vik- ,ing, are the publishers. The price will be 25 cents. . . - CALENDAR SPEECH DEPT.

J. Klemme of Intermountain College of Montana and a former member of the faculty of Beilingham State Normal School will speak to the Washington Education Association meeting in Beilingham Friday of this week on educational' topics. Mr. Klemme became a member of the faculty of this school in 1917. At that time he was the chairman of the Education Department and he taught Psychology and Philosophy of Education. * Then he was trans-fered .to t he Extension Deparenient, and as head took no active part in instruction except for a few lectures. At this time many correspondence courses were offered to students which he took care of.. He visited many schools delivering addresses, explaining the work of the normal school. In 1924 he resigned from the faculty and attended Columbia for a short time before taking up his duties as the President of the College he now heads. The College has an enrollment of about 400 students. Klemme's Service in Washington Mr. Klemme has had much experience in Educational work.. He was: graduated from Northwestern University and. took graduate work, there obtaining his Masters' degree He taught for several. years and then became principal: of Walla Walla; High ••' school; Previous to coming ? to Beilingham y he was a member/of v t h e ' f a c i d t y bl burg'Normal.

These assemblies are generally held on Fridays of the Fall quarter and last throughout the quarter. gt; .;• The purpose is to instruct the entering students in technique and aims. A series of lectures will be given by members of the training school. Victor H. Hoppe, head of the Speech Department, has just returned from an extended tour of Eastern Washington, where he lectured at three different county institutes on subjects . relating to teacher .training. Mr! Hoppe was associated with Professor Hawk of ^Cheney Normal School who spoke "oh -"Educational Measurements, and Dr. Bishop of Walla Walla who delivered 'lectures on Psychology and its relation to instruction. Mr. Hoppe's addresses were concerned with the part which interpretive^ speech played in the personality side of teacher training, and the value of drama and reading on the stage. While at Ephrata he gave a reading entitled, "The Return of Peter Grimm." Many Addresses Given Six addresses were delivered at Ephrata, six a t Okanogan,- and he appeared three times on the program at Wenatchee. Numerous people from Beilingham were at Okanogan and Wenatchee while mostly former Ellens-burg students were at Ephrata. Mr. Hoppe enjoyed renewing acquaintanceships with former students.

Many a former student of this institution, teaching in some remote corner of the state, lias long been looking forward to Home-Coming with the liveliest anticipation. To revisit old scenes—to renew old friendships—to share the recollections of events of the bygone years with others—to recall incidents of the past familiar to them alone—moments ^ of joy and sorrow, of gaiety and sadness—disaster and of triumph, yes, perhaps, too, pf tenderness, for our Alma Mater has been the nursery of many a newborn romance, that is what Home-Coming Week means to those former students of the Normal fortunate, enough to be able to attend the reunion. But it is not to the old graduates alone that Home-Coming Week is a time of interest and importance; for to the students falls the pleasant privilege of acting as hosts of the occasion—we, too, can renew old friendships, make new acquaintances, hear stories of the past or listen to the experiences ofjhose in whose footsteps we expect soon to follow. Let us, then^ extend to our guests so hearty a welcome, exert ourselves to make their stay so pleasant that they will go away feeling that there still exists that enthusiasm, that spirit of good-fellowship which has made the'Normal-by-the-Mountains-and-by-the-Sea the finest school in the state. Irene Schagel isn't famous, but but that's -eia right: Everybody knows her. She has achieved somewhat of a reputation as one of the most; unique persons in school. A member of many clubs, she has served probably mpst the Scribes' club, where; she h a r been for two quarters circulation manager of the Red ArrowV and has been elected president of the club for this quarter. She edited, t h e spring quarter issue of the. Red Arrow. Countless activities I n school have found her managing sortie hard though little noticed tasks, without which the whole endeavors would have failed.

A T E S T O F V IM Up to date this fall quarter, the present student body has been the pepiest one for many quarters and we might say many years past. However, the real test of V I M , V I G O R and V I T A L I T Y comes tonight and tomorrow at the pep rallies, the football game and any^num-ber of other events which will show our true metal.

I n a student body of nearly one thousand there are bound to be opini o n s : opinions in regard to the management of school organizations, or perhaps the artistic placement of trees and shrubs on the campus green.

Several students and citizens of Bellingham, who have arisen between the hours of 3:30 and 5 o'clock in the morning, have been rewarded by tuning in on a Japan broadcasting station, call J O A K. It is located in Tokio, Japan, and is operated by the Tokio Radio Broadcasting Company. Power, 1,000 watts; wave length, 375 meters. It is also reported that this station operates another transmitter of 10,000 watts on 345 meters, the transmitter being located at Shingo, Japan, using the same call letters. —o The campus at Washington is puzzled over the question whether to call their new Physics edifice a hall or just a plain building. The result—that it shall be called Physics building in the time schedule, but in„campus talk, "Physics Hall." . Another test on the constitution and by-laws \ of the W. A. A. was given Wednesday afternoon. Those passing the tests were made members of the association, and those desiring to take, t he tests at a later date may. secure handbooks from the Physical Education office during the noon hour. .'.' —-—~°— — The first rehearsal of the school orchestra was. conducted Tuesday, October 16, in the auditorium.

' Association ; Students of the Normal enjoy a large degree of self government. It is the policy of the school to allow them to direct their own affairs and to this end an elaborate set of • governmental machinery has been set up. The responsibility' of student control rests with them. They have proven themselves able- wisely to "take care of themselves." All Students Belong Every person enrolled in the Bellingham Normal is a member of the Associated Student Body. An executive body known as the Board of Control is elected to carry on the association work. It consists of seven members: the president of the Student's Association, who is chairman of the Board; the vice president of the Association, who acts as chairman in the president's absence; three student representatives elected from the student body at large, a faculty representative, elected by the students, and also another faculty member appointed by the president of the school. These officers are elected for the school year, or four quarters, but one or more is chosen each quarter. Board Directs Activities School activities under the direction of the Board of Control are th Students' Co-operative Book store; the paper, The Northwest Viking; the year book, the Klipsun. All athletic awards are made by the Association. Entertainments, such as the annual Viking Vodvil, All- School Mixers and dances, and special events such as Homecoming and Campus day are managed by the Students' Association. A student's handbook known as the Blue Book is published yearly by the Association. It contains the constitution, a diary, and information of general student concern. School clubs are very active. They are governed by the Inter-Club Council, another branch of the student government Association Meets Monthly The entire Association meets, once each month at the regular assembly hour. In this meeting laws which the student body wish passed may be initiated, questions of general interest discussed, and questions on which the Board of Control wishes the vote of the .Association are brought up. The Association meeting is held in an endeavor to make every student feel his responsibility for school attitudes and regulations. o—:— Extension Department There have been many calls for correspondence bulletins made in the Extension Department. In the new bulletin there are eight more courses being offered. The new ones are: Modern Drama, Hoppe; Modern Novel, Fowler; Geography II,, Hunt; Industrial Arts, Ruck-mick; Mechanical Drawing, Ruck-mick; Amateur Photography, Ruck-milk; History and Literature of Industrial Arts, Ruckmick, and Science 1C, Philippi. The Beautiful New $260,000 Library Which Was Completed Last Spring and Which Is Now Being Constantly Used by Some 950 Students in Their Work at Normal. The new Bellingham Normal library of which we are so proud, was formally dedicated Tuesday, June 5, 1928. However the actual beginning of the library dates back to 1898, when a collection of eight hundred volumes represented the favorite authors of the students and faculty. The Dewey Decimal System of Classification was installed in 1902, when the library contained twenty-five hundred books. Library Instruction classes were started in 1903. First Library One Room As the original library proved inadequate from year to year new roome were added. Such changes were made in 1906, when one of the faculty members offered her office as an extra room; again in 1909 when arches were cut through either end of the room; and other rooms were added in 1916 and in 1924. This present library contains over thirty-nine thousand volumes of books, five hundred files of magazines and thirty-five hundred books in the Library of Children's Literature The library is th e first representative building of the twenty-five year building plan which President C. H. Fisher hopes to realize. , The architecture of the library is Romanesque. Great care has been taken in designing the light fixtures and the windows which have a stained glass design in their centers. The children's room in the library is said to be an almost exact reproduction of that in the Pittsburgh Carnegie. Library. Third Year Students Do Special Work for Advanced Teaching WOMEN'S LEAGUE IS VERY ACTIVE Teaching and its technique has been added to the requirements tor third year graduation. The teaching that is required of two-year graduates is training entirely in the method of conducting class room work while that which is required in the junior year takes the student teacher further in working out one unit in details. Many interesting staies have been made by the students in testing and diagnosis work. Some have worked in the field of mathematics in the. various grades. They, give tests, to the children, decermine the difficulties of the children in their grade, and work out methods whereby these difficulties can be overcome. The same method has been used in reading and language work. Courses of study in various fields are worked out by the students. This involves a through study of the existing course and of those courses which are used in other schools. In rural work also, there is a place for diagnosis and investigation. Students have given tests to the children in the different rural systems in order to .determine whether the children are placed in the proper grades in relation to their intelligence and efficiency. Careful records for future reference are kept in all cases. While third year teaching is a new thing it is expected that it will prove valuable in the future. _o _ New Students Welcomed to School by League Fellowship Committee, Which Assist Students in Getting- Acquainted as to Registration and Lodgings. These courses may be taken by students who have attended at least two quarters here. The cost is $4 per credit hour or $12 for a three-hour course. The Women's League is the first organization with which the women of the Bellingham Normal come in contact. No sooner does the new student step from the • train thon she is greeted by members of the League's Fellowship committee, who assist her in finding her way to the 'school, in getting settled in comfortable lodgings, in registering, and thereafter, in entering into that friendly companionship with her fellow students that is so much a part of student life at the Nor-mal- by-the-Sea. The League attempts to make the school life of the woman student more pleasant and more fruitful, to help her to make the most of the opportunities offered at the Bellingham Normal,, and to furnish activities which will provide her with diversion and relaxation from the strain of school work. Looks Out for Strangers A "Big Sister" system is maintained; every girl who comes to the Normal a stranger is given a sophomore "Sister' 'to help her over the trying time that comes before she begins to feel at home and to make her own friends. j The work of the Women's League is grouped into several divisions, with a committee directing the activities of each field. There are eight of these standing committees. Under the Fellowship committee the work of meting the trains and caring for the stranger is done. j Publishes Booklet i Each year the standards committee compiles and publishes a ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 26 - Page 4 ---------- listf Edens Hall, the Home of Color and Light .OUTDOOR RECREATION 1 ABE UNEXCELLED Many Points of Interest Are Visited Throughout School Year—Boating and Swimming Enjoyed •f i Bellingham's opportunity for M hikes, climbs, boat trips, swims and other forms of outdoor off-campus fe recreation is practically unexcelled. " Within five minutes walk of the bay, and a three hour's drive to Mt. Baker, the Normal has a wealth of places to go—and it takes advantage of them. Throughout the year the Wqmens' Athletic Association spphsbrs hikes, often a club does f;! the same, and in the spring-arid ;U summer the school itself sponsors ft; longer hikes andlwat trips.

Miss Evans came to the Normal School Library this fall from Columbia University, New York, where she received her Master's degree last year. Miss Evans, whose home was in Des Moines, Iowa, was assistant librarian in the State Teacher's College in Winona, Minn., for one year followed by four years of work in the library at Terre Haute, Ind. For three years she was public librarian in Des Moines, and was a high school teacher for three years more. She received general library training in the Pratt Institute Library School at Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Evans had work in Columbia under Miss Anna E. Moore, teacher of Primary Literature in the Teachers' College, Columbia; a course in Upper Grade Literature, under Dr. Franklin Baker, head of the English department in Teacher's College, Coulmbia; and a course in School Library work in the Columbia Library School. In Columbia she also had children's courses in the Library School under Miss Lenore S. Power and Miss Alice I. Hazeltine, and a School Library Course under Miss Mildred Pope, who was a former school, librarian in Seattle. —: o FAMOUS ARTISTS TO APPEAR HERE Four Vocal and Two Instrumental Concerts Will Comprise the Mu-sic'Course for Season. . day trips. , • ' Many Water Trips Possible On the Sound the places or interest are innumerable. It would be possible to take a boat trip every week-end for three months and visit only new territory each time. Orcas Island is often - visited and Mt. Constitution climbed. From its top one may see dozens of islands. Bellingham and the mountains to the east the Olympics to the south, Victoria ,a, Candian city,' to the west, arid the mountains of British Colurnbia to the north. These points of interest keep the student busy for many bright Sundays should he undertake to explore them all. Probably one of the finest musical artists courses ever to be offered by the Bellingham State Normal school is scheduled to take place here this fall according to the present plans of the school administration Four vocal and two instrumental concerts will comprise the course which is offered by the oNrmal school and the' Women's Music club for the 1028-1929 season. Two of the vocalists will make their second appearance in Bellingham: Louis Graveure and Florence Austral. Graveure appeared here during the 1925-1926 season and Miss Austral was a member of last year's course, coming here in April, 1928. One of the most unusual and interesting musical programs to be given in Bellingham for some time will take place this fall when Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, conceded by many critics to be the best two-piano performers heard this century, appear here. The season will open on November 1st with the concert of Kath-ryn Meise, contralto from the Chicago Civic Opera company. She will be followed by Graveure, Nov. 7th, and Maier and Pattison, Nov. 22. One of the world's most famous chamber ensembles 'the London string quartet, will appear Feb. 26. Next a group of Russian singing under the name of the Kedroff Quartet will appear March 5: Miss Austral who proved so successful in concert here early this year, will close the course on April 2nd. Graveure is already dear to tne hearts of local concert goers, having appeared here three years ago as a baritone soloist. Since that appearance he has been greatly in demand here, several requests for a reappearance having been received. To those members of the student body who are unacquainted with the work. of the Normal school in arranging for the Musical Artists' course, it might be well to explain that v had not the Normal school and the Womens' Music club en gaged in bringing to Bellingham the artists which they have during "past several years, the city would riecessarily; have gone without many of the splendid; concerts which have .made Bellingham one of he foremost mUsic»lly.?ihterested cities in the state* second only to the larger; t centers where-more money x and a larger group gt; of^'fi-' haniciallyv^teresi^ perwnsv tiaVb ; Nowhere rii the West ^can a bity be found which has more scenis attractions than has Bellingham. It is here that^old sirian Puget scooped out his sound arid planted the hundreds of islands clad in- wooded loveliness, ^surrounded / by the mighty; waters of the Pacific, sorrie-times calm, blue and peaceful in the warm rays-of sunshine; sometimes a sullen gray beneath menacing clouds, against whipped into choppy white caps, throwing fine spray into the air. Here are the many coves and harbors that have been etched out through years of wave arid tide; here the great seaport that offers its shelter to ships that saiT the seven seas. Wanned by the Japanese current, most of the larger islands are covered with little farms. The smaller ones still support the native evergreens. The San Juans, Sucia Isles, Lummi, and Vancouver Islands are within easy reach of week-end trips. '•- Bellingham Has Parks Two hundred acres of the most beautiful and spacious parks are to be found wherein the city has made special efforts to lead the state in this line. Innumerable trees and shrubs, some common to this section, many not, have been planted; gorgeous flowers of, every hue abound and quiet walks stretch for miles. Ranking first of these are Cornwall, Fairhaven, Sehome, Memorial Whatcom Falls and State Parks. All works of art and labor that have turned the natural spots of beauty into even brighter and more beautiful spots than nature had provided. Streams and Lakes Near Many streairis and lakes are within walking distance of- the city; many more within reach . of the autoist. Some of these are shallow and warm quickly making unsurpassed swimming; others are deep and cold and plentifully stocked with trout. All of them offer their joys to the person who delights' in rowing, canoeing, or taking pictures. Chuckanut Mountain is one of the things Bellingham is proud of, but at its base there runs a highway winding,close up to the hill and back over the very edge of the waters of the Sound, which is The part of south for some. miles from Bellingham is known as the Chuckanut Drive. This strip of road offers to the motorist much of what the mountain offers to the climber. Sehome hill, with all its wild beauty, belongs tothe Bellingham State Normal School and the city. This sixty acres of tree covered hill belongs to the school as much as does the campus, and adds to it in much the same way. Take the grass and the trees from the campus and the school would lose its attractiveness. Leave the campus and take the trees from Sehome and the picture has lost its setting. That is what Sehome is a background for the school. 'Can See Mt. Baker From City About forty miles from Bellingham, Mt. Baker gleams in the sun of every clear day. A beautiful highway leads nearly to the mountain, right into the heart of what is called-"the Mt. Baker, District," a region which is becoming internationally known for its lakes, forests, mountains and trout filled streams. Not the least visited of the Bellingham surroundings a,re the Canadian cities of Vancouver and Victoria. Vancouver is two hours away by car. It is famous for Stanley Park, its splendid harbor, and English Bay, dotted with sailing vessels on fine days. Victoria is a bit quaint and impresses the ^Yankee visitors with its old world atmosphere. — :—^0 • Oriental Sport Known As Badminton Latest Innovation at Normal prized quite as highly, this highway reaching COURSES IN FIELD Badminton, an age old Oriental game, has been introduced at the Normal. This game is about 2,000 years old, having been played in China, Japan and Siam. i t ; was later introduced in England in 1873. Since -that time it has been regarded as. an English sport because it is played most extensively in England.

XXVII—NO. 15 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 27, 1928 WILL MEEI TUESDAY IN TTTLE BATTLE Another Step Will Be Made for the Tri-Normal Championship Game at Whatcom Gym, Wed. SAVAGES ARE VETS Cheney, Like Ellensburg, Makes Big Scores in Games; Present Dope Gives Cheney the Edge. Encountering another obstacle in its race for the Tri-Normal Championship the Vikings will meet the Cheney Savages, Wednesday evening in the Whatcom High Gym, at 8:00 o'clock. Under the tutelage of A. C. Wood-ard a new basketball mentor in Normal circles, the Savages are as yet an unknown quantity. Having played several games like potential champions, their strong five man defense holding opponents to few tallies, while they themselves were running up top heavy scores, the Savages looked to be a title winning outfit. In other contests, however, their defensive play was ragged and they were scored upon at will. The Washington State Frosh, particularly, broke through and won by a large score. ' The members of the Savage quint e t are mostly veterans, West, Hames and Clift being on last year's team. All played regularly last year and are fast clever ball handlers. Moore, a forward of the Cheney championship team of 1925-26, is holding a forward berth and has contributed heavily in the scoring of the Savage five. Moore attended Bellingham last quarter so will be watched with interest by those who knew him. Bennef is a new man at the Eastside school and plays center, while Duvall and Fishback are playing, good games in supporting roles. Both the latter arc experienced men and were on the squad last year. The Viking squad is putting in a hard week of practice, polishing off team play and emphasizing basket shooting. On the late road trio the Normalites were woefully weak on goal throwing but seem out of their "slump" in practice lately. The team to oppose the Cheney basketeers will be picked from Kep-linger, Harper McClurken, forwards; Thorsen, Erickson, centers; Benson, Clark, Jewell, and Isaacson, guards. 'Snaps!" Snaps, Snappy Snapshot Shooter for a Snappier Annual Fisher Attends Seattle Meeting Normal Prexies President Fisher attended a meeting in Seattle at which the boards of trustees and presidents of all Washington Normals were present. Various topics pertaining to the work of three institutions were brought up. A good deal of the discussion was on the training of the junior high school teachers and a study is to be made of the training the present teachers have and the standards that should be set up for teachers of such schools; The raising of the standard for teachers' diplomas was discussed and the granting of the elementary diploma based on two years work, good for a period of two years and not renewable was favored. At present, a diploma may be received after two years work which entitles the possessor to a five-year renewal, which way be converted into a life diploma. Under the new plan, a two-year preparation would be good for two years only and another year would be required to make the student a full-fledged teacher. A student could, however, teach two years and then come back to finish the three year requirement. In short, the standard would be-s raised f rora -/a minimum two years to a minimum three years. Whether or not the summer session should be made a six week term rather than the present full quarter was brought. up for discussion, but was not settled. Some schools favored the idea and the subject will be brought up again at the next annual meeting. Snap snap—ginger snaps, snap classes, snap-snap your hair's cut— snappy snapshots for the Klipsun. That's what Roy Arnett, snapshot editor, is howling for. His collection at present is^ interesting and fairly representative but not numerous enough for Ms soaring ambitions, since this year two1 extra pages will be devoted to interesting pictures of school life, in the annual. An annual in its fundamental purpose should reflect the school life of the students. No better chance is given for the editors to perform their duty than in the section of kodak pictures. Turn 'em in! See your picture in print! Snap the girlfriend when her. nose is shining—the boy-friend when he needs a haircut— the faculty member when he fears the camera most—honestly and truly, the Klipsun staff promises you they will appear—if really clear, for the boai;d of censors is big-hearted. Ellensburg Puts Crimpi in Viking Title Aspirations by Decisive Win Displaying a woefully weak offense, which was able to net but one field goal, the Bellingham Normal Vikings received a sound drubbing at the hands of the Ellensburg team last night at the Fairhaven «gym. With the reversal the local cagers received a severe setback to any Tri- Normal title hopes which they had been nursing. The final score of the contest was 1 7 to 6. - - Throughout the game the powerful Wildcat quintet functioned with a smoothness of an experienced team. Both teams had difficulty in locating the basket, but the easterners maintained a lead which at no time was threatened. Individually, they were a team of fast men with exceptional dribbling and floor ability.. The showing made by Bellingham was disappointing to say the least. The passing was wild and any semblance of team work was not in evidence. Inability to penetrate the Ellensburg defense contributed most to the Viking downfall.. Both teams played a close checking game as is evidenced by the score. Junior Messenger of Training School MakesAppearance "The Junior Messenger," semi-annual publication of the Eighth grade training school class, appeared with che end of the semester this week. An advance copy presented to the Messenger displays much work and presents a pleasing appearance. The "Messenger" this semester, is a twenty-four page pamphlet, J)Vfcx 0% inches, which greets the reader with a photograph of a reporter's snow figUt on the campus, xhe arrangement of the paper is carefully pianned witli aim to give the news oi the semester, in an organized manner. Ihe divisions are: .Editorials, assemblies, activities, news irom the grades, poet's corner, story hour, and aiumni notes. In the main, the editorial staff was responsible for the edition of the •Junior Messenger, with the exception of the details of proof-reading and make-up. Weekly meetings of the editorial council were held, at which times the policies of the paper were discussed and summaries of work done were made by reporters. At these meetings the stories of famous editors and reporters were also discussed, so that a keener insight could be had into the work of a newspaper. These meetings were conducted by the editor, John Shiels. The work done in connection with the paper, according to Miss Bertha Crawford, training teacher in the eighth grade who supervised the work, has been very beneficial in English, expression, and composition work. A regular newspaper style was used in the writing of stories, and usually all written reports of assemblies were done in news form. In addition to the regular news items,, the paper contains many poems, prominent among these being "Harvest Thoughts" by the eighth (Continued on Page Two) Y.W.G.A. MEMBERS SPONSOR INSTITUTE FOR BIBLE LEARNING Satler and Campbell Lead Bible Institute; Meetings Appreciated Sunday Meetings Interest Many The meeting Sunday afternoon of the Bible Institute sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. of the Normal school closed a successful program of meetings and also the twenty-first consecutive meeting of the institute in this school. Dr. Georgia Satler of Seattle, a well known Bible Institute teacher, led the main discussions, aided by Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Dr. Georgia Satler, of Seattls, who conducts Bible teachings in leading towns of the Northwest, gained much favor with the Y. W. C. A., workers here this time, as she has previously Miss Dorothy Bidlake, a recently returned missionary from Kansu, China, was unable to attend the meetings here because of conflicting program. Although the girls missed Miss Bidlake whom they regard as a very interesting speaker, they appreciated the opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mrs. Campbell, also of Seattle. Interest Taken Meetings opened Thursday afternoon, and were held every afternoon and evening until Sunday afternoon. The Y. W. C. A. girls, other students of the Normal and people residing in Bellingham attended :the. meetings and each one gained individual benefits. The discussion Sunday afternoon on "Group Prayer", delivered by Mrs. Campbell, carried a valuable aspect for everyone. Dr. Satler gave an interesting account of a trip to Los Angeles this summer with entering students of the Bible Institute there, in faithful -'William". She noted many experiences that had been affected outstandingly by the will of God. Georges Enesco, Rumanian Violinist Pleases Audience Tuesday, Jan. 24 The appearance of Georges Enesco, Roumanian violinist Tuesday evening in the Christian church, was an event that will long be remembered by those of the capacity audience who attended. Hailed as a real master of the instrument, Enesco gave a superb exhibition of the art in violin playing and held his audience as few artists have ever done here in a program that was admirably suited to his technique. Appearing in the second number of the 1927-28 Musical Artists course, sponsored by the Normal and the Bellingham Women's Music club, Enesco easily lived up to the high standard set by his predecessors during the last few years and set a new high level for performance on the violin. The artistes program, composed largely of numbers from modern composers, Avas excellently selected, and allowed full play to Enesco's type of artist. ''The opening num: her, Nardim's "Sonata in D Major" immediately won the heart of the audience, and\ while slightly heavy ofr a student-public crowd, was generously applauded and encored. The third movement of the sonata especially the larghetto, proved beyond a doubt the famous European's mastery of tone and feeling. Chausson's "Pome", Enesco' second number while, too, of the heavier type of selection saw him reach his full power as a master of technique. He'gradually-increased in effectiveness in his third group composed of Corelli's "Fplies d' Espagne" and the '•Introduction and Cappricioso" of Saint Saens. He was recalled for two numbers and was called back for two encores in which he reached the peak of his performance. The second of these encores "Going Home" from Dvorak's New World Symphony, was especially well received. In his closing number, Sarasate's "'Zieguncrweisen", Enesco combined liis talents to give a masterful finishing touch to the whole. program and succeeded in reaching the height of his power. \ ORIENTAL PROBLEMS ARE EXPLAINED BY CHINESE LECTURER Major Huang, Militarist, Diplomat, and Speaker, Gives Outline of ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 January 27 - Page 2 ---------- W^^XMW^M^mm^MMI^m^^^^^^^m^^^^^mm^^^^^m pltffllf *:(; WASHTNGTC^ STATE NORMAL SCH o b £ BEIJLINGHAMJ A^HINCTrON Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington ^Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class, matter.

Scene I : Men's Club meeting last quarter. Held because the Women's League was occuping the Assembly Hall. In the course of fifty minutes of highly entertaining but also unnecessary discussion it developed that a majority of those present favored the investigation of the possibilities of a Men's Club. A committee was elected. ' Scene 2: Men's Club meeting a week ago today. A committee submitted its report, which after being read was promptly forgotten and the assemblage spent a highly entertaining but highly useless fifty minutes trying to take steps to organize into a Men's Club. During the course of this time the body passed a motion which they then voted to reconsider, passed another motion directly contradictory to the first one passed which they also voted to reconsider. Finally the time for closing came. A committee was elected to formulate a constitution. Scene' 3 : Women's League assembly a week ago today. The hour was taken by a Y. W. C. A. speaker. They even forgot to have the secretary's report. Scene 4 : Students' Organization Council meeting, Monday evening. A vote was compiled of the action of the clubs on the three plans of reorganization, of the council. The vote, which rejected all three plans by a large majority was sidetracked for other business. During the rest of the meeting it was not once referred to although there were several new proposals to be considered. Scene 5 Last election of Student Representative. Seven hundred women and two hundred men elected a man from a field of four men and one woman to the Board of Control, which already had five of six members of the male gender. We should be well equipped to educate young America in the ways of democratic government. o The past week has been particularly full of extra-curricular activity, which has been of high merit in an instructive and entertaining way. Four of the five school evenings have had lectures, musicals, and basketball games, all school functions of interest to all. But in addition it has been the fourth week of the Quarter and well marked in the student's mind as test week. Such an arrangement should call for an adjustment somewhere. Otherwise either the entertainment or grades must suffer as the student makes his choice, which was the alternative presented to him this past week. In this school where the students are paying for the special entertainment, numbers which come they are forced to lose either one way or the other. Either he must pay for something he does not receive or else sacrifice scholastic standing. That so many things should be bunched together is unusual but not difficult to appreciate. In getting numbers of high calibre the authorities cannot choose the date but must adjust their program to that of the speaker or musician. Tests, however, are another more elastic thing. It is a comparatively simple matter to delay the giving of a test for a cause so worthy. We understand that the administration made it clear to all the faculty that.tests should not be given at a time that would interfere with the students attending any of the entertainments sponsored by the school. Yet it has been a common complaint among students that tests have been scheduled for this past week regardless of other events.' It would seem hard to believe that any faculty member would persist in giving a test in the face of such statements and circumstances. It has been suggested that, from the faculty point of view, it is easier for them to give an already prepared test than organize material for a class recitation or lecture. o- : We Teachers (By Catherine Lawrence) I wonder if we teachers realize our responsibility. What a responsibility it is. Imagine yourself up before a roomful of happy smiling children. They are innocent and "know not what they do." Do you realize that their lives are in your hands. The wonderful little creatures trust you as their teacher, to the limit. What you say is correct and it-stays in their clear young minds as the truth. They will grow up and may or may not look to your words for help. My friends, you must realize your privilege, the privilege of holding our future nation in your power. Why you might even have a future Presi d e n t of the United States, a future great, thinker an outstanding rtvusi- '••• cian of the ever mysterious future. I t would be* the greatest compliment you could receive to have, one of your pupils look back to his child- 'life and;8ay—"I am a great man because I received my inspiration from Mia» (or Mr.) -So and: So, a mojat perfect teacher This means more to teaching than just the three R's. What is a citizen worth to our country without character ? He is, worth nothing, but is a nuisance and so are you if you con't guide him as well as plain "teach" him. I should consider myself a complete failure if I couldn't give my children the "felt need" for sound characters. Let all of us as teachers (we are more than simply teachers ) realize in the very center of our souls that we are the foundations of a great race. There is no more necessary and inspiring career than that of a teacher. Miss Rose Glass once said that Christ was a teacher. He was and so are we. , Then my classmates, as future teachers take this as a challenge: "May we, as long as we teach, be understanding and ' , sympathetic guides to those dreary young lives in your trust; lead them on toward a shining goal of a complete four-fold • l i ^ i v l - ; - : - ^ ' ^ By BARNEY As a special favor to Hash Cus~ tomers our old friend Buggy Bud has consented to write a series of articles entitled "Places I Have Been At": The first of this series which appears below is-— "A Prune on the Moon" by Buggy Bud I had a hankering to take a short trip and since the moon is the nearest of the celestial bodies, being only 239,000 miles away, I chose it. Hav-in' always heard that the moon was pretty cold I put on wool socks and didn't get a haircut. I decided on a. early start to avoid the heavy air traffic... So early Friday mornin' the 13th of February, with my heart in one hand and a sardine sandwich in the other, I cheerfully seated myself in my "Spirit of Turpentine" and turned on the juice. The first 1000 miles went by fine and I ate my sandwich. I decided to make it a non-stop flight. The last 1000 miles is always the hardest, but I finally got there, found a landing place and swooped down to earth, I meant to moon. Well, as I expected, the reception committee was there to meet me but it numbered only one—an old guy with whiskers. I climbed out of my plane and approached him. "Greetings, papa," I said, in moon lingo, "what are you standin' there moonin' about? "Sir, said he, "how dare you to land on this here celestial sphere, and don't address me in that manner, I'm the man in the moon." "Well, you ain't so much," says I. "Do you know who I am?" "Yes," says he, "you're the guy that tells little innocent Normal school girls that the moon is made of green cheese. So just get back into that contraption and go plumb to earth." I climbed in hurriedly and as my plane rose I heard the old gink shout, "I'll say I know who you are, you're the guy that trys to make this artificial MOONSHINE." A guy I like is Malcolm Dow Because he never says "and How' A L I C E IS S U R P R I S ED A N D H OW "You must come home early tonight, Jack," said Alice to her husband, over the phone. "We are going to Clara's to meet Count Ruffanriski, the celebrated Russian." On their way to Clara's home, Alice was very nervous, explaining that as the count knew no English and she knew no Russian she would be very embarrassed. Arriving at the house the young couple were presented to the count, who in a courtly manner bent over Alice's hand mur-mering, "hashski sucotashovitch, haveoneonmeski." Jack instantly replied, "I haveski oneski onski the hipovitch." Imagine Alice's surprise when she heard her husband continue the conversation in faultless Russian, perfectly at ease, to the ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 January 27 - Page 3 ---------- JAYVEES LIGHTMEN LEADINGJN CLASS B Both Have Four Victories and No Defeats; Tie for Second Place.

A 0-4 .000 As"a result of their respective victories over the Teachers from District 301 and Shell Oil, the Normal Junior Varsity and the Puget Sound Power and Light crew are now leading the City Class B League, with a perfect' score of four victories aud no defeats, while their two closest rivals, the Legionnaires and the School Teachers are tied for second place with a two and two score;. o Tonight, on the Y. M. C. A. floor, when the two league leaders clash, the leadership of the Class B League -will be definitely settled and also the winners of this contest are pretty 'sure to take the championship for the second half. Both Teams Strong The Jayvees are in good form for this evening's contest and their strongest line-up will probably be inserted into the fray. Although the Jayvees seem to have a slight edge over their opponents by virtue of the • drubbing they handed the Puget Sound the first half they have not-been playing up to their usual form-in their last few games, while the Lightmen have been burning up the league with theif flashy floor work and. great offensive play. The Light-men will be out to avenge the defeat handed them the first half with a determination that will be hard for the Normalites to overcome. With the promise of a championship game assured the followers of the Class B tilts" will have a treat in store for them. The probable starting line-up for the Junior Varsity will be Thorlak-son and Cox, forwards; Fisher, center, with Lundberg and Sullivan, guards, with Weber, Norby and Bond as reserves. FOLLOW-UPS By SuUy Although suffering setbacks in its first two conference starts the Varsity is by no means doomed to a mediocre season. Playing two hard games on foreign floors, without a sufficient number of tough practice games contributed heavily toward these defeats. Again, a team with new men at several positions cannot be molded into a winning aggregation in early season. Given a little time to smooth off rough spots, plenty of support by the students at games and the Blue and White team will end the season successfully. * * * # WHERE ARE THE NORMAL YELL KINGS? *-. * * * DO you know who was the first Normal Yell King? At the time the enrollment was small and Viking teams entered into athletic competition with high schools of this district. During a hectic battle with a local team on the gridiron the Hilltop rooters were without a leader while their rivals were urged on by a firey yell king. At a crucial moment in the game a man unknown to Normal students arose and asking for their yells, led the Blue and Wite team to victory. Frank Gotch, then holding the World's championship wrestling belt, was this man and the first Normal Yell King. CO-OPS SURPRISE AND DOWN CLUB , TEAM IN CLOSE INTRAMURAL GAME SCOTCHMEN AND FROSH AGAIN LOSE WHERE ARE THE NEW NIS COURTS? TEN-Junior Varsity Wins \Over Strong School Teachers, 43 to 22 Swooping down from their lofty lair on Sehome Hill the Normal school Junior Varsity took into camp the strong School Teachers' squad from District 401, to the tune of 43 to 22 on the Y. M. C. A., floor last Friday evening. The game was one which proved the superior strength of the Jayvee five. The Normalites grabbed an early lead which they held throughout the contest, never being seriously checked by the -Teachers. The losers showed a few flashes of good team work but lacked the punch that comes with practice and coaching that the well oiled Jayvee machine possesses. High scoring honors of the fray went to Cox who had 15 points. Next for the Jayvees was Thorlakson, Lundberg, and Sullivan, who gained 9, 8, 7 points respectively. In the other game of the evening, the American Legion defeated the Y. M. C. A. 49 to 40. The game went overtime. The Line-up: Normal (43) S. Teachers (22) Thorlakson 9 .... F Bowsher 4 Sullivan 7 F. Lewis 8 Cox 15 C. Radcliffe 5 Lundberg 8 G McCallum Norby 4 G Olts 1 Bond Sub Pierron 4 Weber Sub. The record of the Normal Jayvees is an enviable one. For two years this team has led the Class B teams in the City League. Last year the Junior-Varsity lost but four games, while winning fifteen and capturing the Class B championship. During the past year one game has been dropped and the first half won. Two games remain to be played in the second half, one with the strong Puget Sound five and the other with the Y. M. C. A.. Jr. quintet. If these are won the Jayvees will have a record of which to be proud. Aside from this, the team has helped materially in building up a strong varsity. Cheney Normal will have a commons building costing $175,000 which will be completed next September. The building will be a one story structure and will house a dining room which will seat five hundred people. It will also include a social hall. OREGON MOHAWKS ARE COMING SOON A team of ex-college cage stars, the Mohawks, from Eugene, Oregon, who will make a trip through Western Washington, between February 21 and 26, and would like to line up a game with some strong local team, Sterling Swegle, Mohawk manager and former Whatcom High school athlete, announced in a letter to the Herald sports department this, week. Boasting a team of ex-college players including Roy Okerberg and "Swede" Wetergren, both all-coast stars with the University of Oregon quintet of 1927, the Oregon Mohawks will pass through here on February 23, and are trying to line up some strong local team on that date. An exhibition game between the Vikings and the Mohawks would appear favorable should one be arranged. The Mohawks have scored 343 points in Beven games to date, and have defeated the University of Oregon, 20 to 18, and the Oregon Normal, 60 to 36, two of the strongest teams in the Webfoot state. Teams interested in arranging a game with the Mohawks, may get in touch with Swegle by writing to him at Eugene, Oregon. Taylor-Elliot apartments, Apt. 7. Weekly Sport Calendar The second half of the Intra-Mural basketball season started out in a fascinating, exciting manner when the Co-op's upset the dope by defeating the strong Vanadis Bragi five, 31 to 22, and the Kitchen lirew decisively won from the Frosh cagers, 21 to 9, in the little gym on Monday afternoon. Co-ops Get Revenge The Vanadis Bragi have, in the past two encounters, twice given the Coops the short end of the score. The bookmen, therefore entered the argument Monday with a great deal of determination which resulted in their victory. The clubmen were, because of winning the first half of the league rather overconfident. They were also a crippled team as two of their regular players, Grainger and Adkin-son. were unable to play. Keith, playing for the winners, was high point man of the fray with 12 counts to his credit. He played a great team game and did some remarkable checking, Winnie Iverson and Bill Wanamaker contributed a great deal of the commendable playing employed by the Co-ops. Duncan bid high for the high point honors when he justified his previous playing records by being responsible for eleven of the twenty-two Vanadis Bragian scores. The rest of the men on this team did their best but their best, evidently wasn't enough. Co-ops (31) Vanadis Bragi, (22) [Keith, 12 .'.

Grinlund 1 Sub Hale o A rejuvenated Frosh team appeared on the league basketball floor with a great deal of determination to win from the big dishwashers from the Dorm. They were completely outclassed, evidently, as the Krew, rolling up an impressinve victory, completely downed the lowly Freshmen in a more or less one-sided battle. It will be remembered that the Kitchen Krew lost the first two games of the first half of the basketball season. The Krew have therefore, decided to win every game this period.

Frosh Pull "Comeback." At the end of the first half in the Frosh-Low Star mix the score was 22 to 10 in favor of the Low Stars. During that period the Marsdcn outfit had a comparitively easy time of it, but the second period was different. The green Freshmen, the second canto, found the basket and began to ring up points. In fast, they made more points during the last period than the Low Stars. Albert Brown, center for the Low Stars was high points man of the contest with 12 markers to his credit.

He was accompanied by Dr. Salisbury, who is a very close friend of Mr. McNainara, Bothell superintendent of schools. $54,000 was spent for the instala-tion of a new gymnasium, auditorium, and industrial shop. A place for cooking and sewing has been included in the building which ^adds materially to their high school facilities. Miss DeVoe who taught school there, forty-three years ago in a one-room building with a three month term, was present also, and an interesting comparison was made of that time with the present day. A collection was taken to extend the three month term, four months longer for exhibition purposes. HUANG (Continued From Page One) 7000 miles, is being planned to be constructed by 1931. The foreign powers in China have been the cause of much of China's present day trouble, the race having been a peace loving one until the Occidental nations forced them to arms. At present, as a result of the Boxer rebellion in 1901, the Chinese nation is paying to certain foreign powers the sum of $333,000,000 yearly. The foreign powers also make their own customs regulations and enforce them, the government receiving only approximately one-third that which it claims due. . The nationalistic party of the Cantonese faction, which Major Huang represents believes in China for the Chinese, and resents the usurpation of the government rights by "the foreigners. Huang explained that his party does not wish to drive out the foreigners, but merely wants a stable Chinese government of, by and for the Chinese people. He asserted that his nation does not desire to be forced in to a state of armed preparedness but declared that if it is proved necessary China, with her 400,000,000 population, and vast undeveloped natural resources, would provide the greatest armies and navies the world has ever had. «. In both lectures, Huang ended with a'plea for a better understanding between all nations and China, and in vited all to come and see the real ;China. | Following the lecture to the training school in assembly, Huang spoke :to several of the grades in another room, at which time the children jwere invited to ask him questions. One of the first requests made was a re-reading of a Chinese poem which he had delivered both at his first lecture and in the assembly. Following the reading of this he was requested to translate it. He was also asked many other questions the children seeming ready to advance inquiries without hesitation. Some of the requests made of the lecturer were: "Why, when, how, and by whom was the Great Wall of China built V" "Trace your ancestry for us." The latter he did showing that he is descended from an Emperor who reigned 250 B. C. More requests were as follows: "What does ;your name mean in Chinese, and jwhat does it look like?" "How is the Igovernment organized?" "What hap- •pened in the recent war?" "What :kind of houses and homes do they .'have in China?" "What do the children study in the schools, and how do ithe school children dress?" : Huang wrote in Chinese for the i children, and explained many things ;in' detail making a "tremendous impression" on the children, according to teachers. CKiirch Program for Young People Aims at Interesting Work The Congregational church is forming, a young people's group with a program' somewhat different from the usual kind. In addition to being of real service to the church it aims to create an interest in the out-of-doors. Students of the Normal and High schools are especially invited to join. A meeting will be held Sunday evening, January 29th, at the church, corner of H and Dupont, at 7:15. All interested are cordially invited to attend this meeting. INVITATION He: "If you keep looking at me like that I'm going,to kiss you." She: "Well, I can't hold this expression much longer." o : Sophs' Deep Sea Mixer Acclaimed Nautical Success Did you ever have a ride in a glass bottom boat or ever take a trip with a diver to the bottom of the ocean? Some of the Sophomores must have experienced these things to have been able to bring a piece of this deep sea life right to their Deep Sea party. The room was hung with curly green and brown sea weed and on entering-one could smell the salt air and almost taste the salt spray. The Sophs had invited numerous deep se a life to their party. Giant multi-colored star fish shaded the bright lights. There was a great devil fish with flashing eyes to terrify the dancers. There were numbers of huge deep sea fish suspended from the ceiling who kept fishy eyes on the whole affair. In one corner of the room was an old Viking ship that had served its purpose years ago and had gone to its watery grave. On going nearer one could have seeu the faculty in this romantic setting. What was that at the other end of the room? Were they the voices of the Sea King's daughters singing? No, it was the orchestra up there among the moss covered rocks. The punch was delicious green sea water and Life Savers also were to be had. Dashing little sailor lads served the punch and greeted the guests as they came in. After intermission Aileen Arland danced the Sailor's Horn Pipe vfhieh was in keeping with the atmosphere of the party. o • Instructive Address by Dr. R. V. Thomas Given Women's League The first meeting of the Women's League this quarter was held last Friday morning in the auditorium. A very interesting and instructive address was given by Dr. Euth Boring Thomas of Bellingham. An announcement concerning the Sophomore party Saturday night was made by Carrie Tucker. Lenore White awarded a scholarship pennant to Eadcliffe hall which had the highest grades of houses for the fall quarter, and also an accomplishment pennant to El Nido hall. Phyllis Neher announced a tea dance sponsored by the Women's League, which was held in the drawing room of Edens hall, Tuesday afternoon. Sumas and Arlington Teams Tie in-Debate Finals for District The Sumas and Arlington High schools are tied for first place in the debate tournament for the Northwest district which includes Skagit, Island, San Juan, Snohomish and Whatcom counties. The two teams arc goino- to meet in a final debate at Arlington on February 2. Each team received ten votes out of a possible twelve and each won their debate in every contest. Only two judges voted against each team.

At present even this rule is being openly violated. While dwelling on the subject of tennis, we might add that tennis ethics are not being followed here as closely as they should. Rules and regulations are posted, but after all, tennis ethics constitute something higher than a set of rules. Possibly those in charge can bear down a bit in the future and eliminate infractionson tennis regulations. T H E FINAL S P U RT It is said that Charley Paddock, the world's fastest human, inevitably wins his race by a strong finish, by a final desperate leap over the wire. His opponents, possessing the same amount of ability, head him at.the start but fail to judge correctly the distance and fall behind, losing the 'race in the final stretch. We do not need to stretch our imagination to see the above picture enacted daily right here at the Normal School. The closing days of this quarter N will disclose to the world the Charley Paddocks in our midst. Soon we will find out those who failed to judge correctly their ability and who upon leaving all for the end of the quarter find that they were unable to stand the pace. This final stretch, as is always true, will be a gruelling one. With warm sunshiny days coaxing us from our class rooms, with the neighboring streams and their elusive trout beckoning to us, with the Tulip festival and carnivals taking our minds off our books, only the strongest can remain in the race. A victory against such odds will be a sweet one. Sophomores, steel yourselves for the final spurt. ( W ^ W k r W W W ^ ^ W W W W U Student Opinion ' tears.

The tyro impresarios who managed the Viking Vodvil into a financial quagmire deserve a rebuke for their sliding scale of prices designed to rise and fall with the changing public demand for tickets. If it is ethical to charge the public and members of the faculty higher prices than are charged the students, the ticket sale should be managed through some other plan than the unfair lowering of prices after the first enthusiastic sale is over. Those first few enthusiasts who were unfortunate enough to pay seventy-five cents for seats that were later sold for half a dollar, have very tangible grounds for protest. ' They are sure to be more conservative in their support of. student enterprises in the future.. Such tactics by the management of the Viking Vodvil can only breed distrust in the minds of the student body. The students, I presume, are supposed to accept the statement of the Vodvil managers that lack of student demand for tickets forced a reduction in prices. The acceptance of such a statement implies a singular stupidity on the part of these same managers. It is obvious that only a few students, a very few, can afford to buy tickets priced so high. If honest support of student enterprises, manifested in sincere, enthusiastic financial aid, receives its reward in a subsequent reduction of prices, such support will have to be well-nigh fanatical to long endure. This is not supposed to be a plea for a "bigger and better" Viking' Vodvil. It will not be signed "Vox Populi." But I do feel that some protest is justifiable. . This is an interpretation of student opinion. . The Messenger should refute the rumor that this article contains. This refutation will not come by desking this article, that is of minor importance, but by giving publicity to the opposite side of this story so that the rumor will not persist. -^—o — She was only a siui-kist baby, but she was no lemon. x What is this Men's Club? A comparatively few met last Tuesday and between intervals of invective and sarcasm, the big subject of school spirit was discussed. Several insisted that the Men's Club was a club of he-men, and that .the. absentees, if they had any backbone would forsake their ladyloves long enough to attend the meeting. Compulsory attendance was suggested as a means to instil manliness into the vein* of the delilitoting ones.

At the regular assembly on Tuesday, Arthur Johnson, tenor, will present an interesting program, consisting of a number of folk songs from different nations, selections from opera and from modern composers. He will be accompanied by May Van Dyke. The Williams Trio will appear in assembly at eleven o'clock on Friday and they are expected to perforin in their usual excellent style. Students are to take part in the week's musical program by performing on the 'main landing during the noon hour. At twelve-thirty on Monday, there will be a piano solo by Vera Geuette and a violin solo by Vera Laznicka. Tuesday's program will be given by the MacDowell Trio, which consists of Rella Ebeling, George Allez and Vera Laznicka, and a vocal solo by Ralph Johnson.

COOPER SMACKS HOMER Winegard Shows Good Form by Holding Everett to 4 Hits in 5 Innings: HIGH SCHOOLS MEET EVERETT WHATCOM ENDJNIIE Whatcom Springs a Surprise- Slow Field Keeps Time Down. Those Everett High School Seagulls ' gave the local ball tossers plenty of opposition last Saturday and forced the Viks to play real baseball to come out on the long end of the 7 to 3 score. For a High School orftt'it, Everett is about the sweetest looking club' that can be found .in this neck of the woods. Their strong showing is due. quite a bit to the excellent pitching of Eddie Novak, who has plenty of "stuff'" on his shoots. On the other hand; it would take some pitching and playing to hold down a murderers' row such as the Viking stiekmen presented. ISotli teams garnered, nine hits, but a. bad fifth inning when four hits registered as many • runs established a lead for Bellingham that .stood for the remainder of the game. Don Patterson started in the box for the Normal but couldn't get the old souper properly warmed up and retired to the showers after the fourth inning when the Seagulls landed for three hits and two runs. Winegard took up the task and held the visitors well in check for the remainder of the contest. Everett Scores First. Everett scored first in the second inning when Mouneger doubled and scored on errors. The Vikings retaliated in the third when Tat decided he'd have to win his own game, singled and got home on a sacrifice. Everett looked pretty dangerous in the fourth chasing two runs across. Then hizzoner, Captain Chuck Cooper, smacked one clear out of the lot and chased himself around the bags in grand style. Art Isaacson started the rally in the fifth when he busted loose with double on his first trip to bat. That seemed to be a signal to the rest of the gang, and as has been said before, there "went the old ball game. Everett provided all concerned with an anxious moment in the ninth. Three hits filled the bases. With two out, Johnson, the tail end of Everett's batting list, hit one to right center field that looked, like a sure run chaser till sniilin' "Awthaw" Isaacson hove in sight with full steam up and stopped the drive with a pretty catch. Summary: As a result of a ruling made by the coaches of' Whatcom, Ferndale and Everett high schools, that first, second and third places in the relay would give five, three and one points for each respectively, Whatcom and Everett ' tied for first place in the, triangular meet held • on Waldo field last Saturday. Each scored 48 points and Ferndale scored 30 points. No outstanding performances were made. Stormy weather had—made the track slow. Most of the contests were close.

Championship on Field Day. Former 'Vik' Star * ; • . • ' ' * • • ' • \ Appointed Head Coach Word comes from the East of the appointment of Dick Hanley to _the position of head football coach of Northwestern University. His salary will be $10,000 a year. Hanley played his first collegiate football as an end on the 1913 Viking outfit. The other wing position was held down by Sam Carver.' Old timers still speak of the pair as two of the greatest ends who ever wore the blue and white. Carver graduated in that year, and immediately assumed the position of coach of the Normal squad. Hanley entered Washington State College at Pullman. For three years he wore the maroon and gray of the Cougars, was elected captain of the team, was acclaimed all-coast quarterback. The Avar came on. Hanley, no longer in school, captained the famous Mare*- Island Marines, a team with an enviable record of victorise. His coaching career began at the high school in Pendleton, Oregon. Later he secured the position of head football coach of the Haskell Indians. He held that position until his appointment as coach at the Evansville institution. In 1912, one year before the beginning of Hanley's regime, Mr. Bond, now head of the Mathematics department, coached the football squad here at Bellingham. Dr. Turner, now a prominent local practitioner, succeeded Bond at the close of the 1912 season. FIRST PHILO THESPIAN BASEBALL GAME WEDNESDAY W. A. A.

FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND CONFERENCE With an entry list of many cap-, able players and ohers not so good, all aiming at the winner's award of a small "\Y" tennis letters, the in-tra- mural net tourney will swing into action early next week. Mon's singles and doubles, women's singles and'doubles, and mixed doubles competition will be engaged in, and prospects are bright for hot competition for the various titles. , The tourney will be run off on the straight elimination basis. While the interest in tennis is not what it has been in the past, many players are signed up. Interest naturally centers on the men's singles, where several good men are doped to fight it out. The first six men on the varsity ladder are barred-- from participation to encourage less expert racquet wielders, so the big fight will probably be.between Theo. Norby and Harold Houlton. Both these men just failed to make the upper half in the varsity tournament and are looked upon as intra-mural favorites^ Maurice Thompson, Bill Wanama'ker, and Hub Allen are others who may have a serious look-in for the title. Norby and Houlton are paired for the doubles and should win out. . Jren Harris, former Whatcom High champion, with her hard driving game, is probably easily the class of the women's field, but has been on The first game of the big annual Philo-Thcspian baseball series will take place Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 on Waldo Field, according to announcement made yesterday by Jack Schneider, Thespian president, and Henry Durr. of the Philos. Both clubs will present strong line-ups. According to their managers a diamond classic is promised. If the weather permits, a record crowd is-expected. The Philos will come on the field with a team composed to a large extent of faculty members. Profs. Bond, Keeney, Carver, Ivuvkmick, and Phil-lippi are all members of this club, and manager Durr is hoping to obtain the services of most of these men. Buckmick is known us a pitcher of real ability. He hurled a nice game for the faculty last year in the big faculty-student mix on Campus Day. Bond is a former college star piteher"and infielder, while Phillippi is also an oldtimc ball-player. Coaches Carver and Keeney are sure to see service, probably in the infield. The Philo roster includes Bob Fisher, '•'Ace" Sherwood, Maurice Thompson and Kirv Smith, infielder.-:, and "Hank Durr, Dan Beighle and Ralph Nelson, outfielders. Manager Schneider of the Thespians is counting on Floyd Henrdick-son on the mound and Sam Ford behind the bat as his big guns. Heh-drickson has had much hurling experience while Ford, the Co-op manager, is known for his heavy stick work, and Schneider, himself, will hold down the short pat;-h, and will have a strong infield with Bill Mock on first, Ted Lumlcy on second, and Cecil Gray on the hot corner. The husky .Thespian manager admitted to a Messenger reporter in. an exclusive interview that his outfield was not "so hot" but lie is known to have such gardeners under his wing as Bryan Hankins-and Fred Smith, so he will not be lacking in stars. Ell. lAunley, Cliff Duncan and Ralph Johnson complete Schneider's list of hopes. Shoe Exhibition Presented By W. A. A.

Several mattei"s of importance were taken up and various committees appointed to carry out the work planned by the council. Incoming students at the beginning'of- each quarter will be presented with a booklet containing the name, entrance requirements, and the purpose of each campus organization. I t is planned to have this booklet ready for distribution at- the beginning of the Summer Quarter. The question of "conflicts in social affairs planned by clubs was discussed. It . was decided that two clubs could have their own invitational affairs on the same night, but that a club affair should not be staged if it conflicts with an all-sciiool affair put on by another organization. The case of the recent Vanadis Bragi banquet, held on the same night as the Oregon Club dance was cited as an example of a club function interfering with an all-school affair. Moving rhythmically ;td:shappy';syn-copation, dapper dancers glided gloriously down the Old Oregon Trail lg^st Friday even ingj at the Oregon Club Daiice, Timid co-eds glancing furtively at the picturesque wigwams, snuggled closer in the embrace of their he-man escort as they floated: along, following directions given by numerous mile posts. Leading past enormous grizzlies and. ghastly skulls the tr,ail turned and brought, the romantic couples into the glare of a blazing campfire, which cast its cheery light on ,the faces glowing in the radiance of the occasion. At frequent intervals the merry travelers tarried long enough to quench their thirst with cool, sparkling drinks. Then on they drifted until at midnight the phenomenal journey came to a delightful close. From beginning to end this unusual affair was admirably presented. o Philo Club Plans Picnic For May 13 Unique Party Held in Edens Hall Club Room Last Friday Evening. The members of the Y. W. 0.

VIRGINIA STRONG IN PROGRAM FRI. APRIL22 Young Singer Pleases Students on Second Appearance With Songs. A delightful program was presented iir the regular assembly this morning by Mrs. ^Adrienne Boucher, a mezzo-soprano of note, and a former resident of Bellingham. A group of old Italian airs of the period 1059- 1736 was most pleasing. Mrs. Boucher, formerly the head of the Bellingham School of Music, left five years ago to study music in Italy; where she remained three years. Since then she has been engaged in concert work in the East. iSlie has been received with enthusiasm in Italy - and New York. She is very accomplished in the study of languages. .-'•'• Appearing at the Normal for the second time this year, Miss Virginia Strong, «ighteen year old Seattle soprano, sand in assembly Tuesday. _The four groups* of songs on her program were enthusiastically received by the audience. Two encores ^vere given. So far all of Miss Strong's training has been given by her mother, a former member of the facuity of State College and now a teacher at the Cornish School. Miss Strong is a sister of Vivian Strongheart who has made her debut at the Aeolian Hall and is now singing in Xew York. Miss Strong herself exjjects to go to New York soon to study. Ohiyesa Club.

We've reached a new quarter, we lost our editor, the writer of Normalite can now be found passing out orders from the editorial desk, and we've been appointed the new Collector. -W. S. N. S.- Yea, Collector of "Odds 'n Ends". And we're all ready to chop the stuff up, mix well, change its name, and put it once more into the halls of school through the "Colyums" of Normalite. -W. S. N. S. Normalite, the Viking's so-called "cheap" editorial column, is being written 300 miles south of Bellingham. Thus in accordance with the fine early spring weather, Normalite comes to you with a Southern exposure tint." -W. S. N. S.- Before we go any further, we wish to extend best wishes to the new chief, Ray Craft... We, in the meantime, regret losing the capable Dolly Anderson. As there is no change in the Business Manager's position, we hope that every thing goes as well as it has been, for G. W. L. W. S. N. S.- Handicap! That is the definite -impression that we get of the One Dollar late registration fee. It may mean extra work for the office force, but it means plenty of extra work for the one digging up the •dollar. ( W. S. N. S. It's true that in some cases the registration could be made on time instead of holding it over, but in many instances students who really need that dollar have complained of the ruling. There are arguments for the fee, but we still insist that to many it is a handicap. -W. S. N. S, ; We are interested in the W. A. A. Informal tonight, and hope that it is a success.

PICTURES ILLUSTRATE Miss Stuart Assisted With the Synchronization and| Movietone Prologue of the motion Picture. With a fascinating interpretation of the customs and folk lore of the Maori people of New Zealand, Bathie Stuart of that insular country, will appear in the 11 o'clock assembly next Tuesday morning. The authenticity of the information she will give in her program is established by the endorsement of the government of New Zealand. Motion Picture Film Through years of study and association, Miss Stuart has learned the songs, legends and dances of the Maoris, and is "as proficient in the rendition of their ceremonials and then- sweet haunting melodies as the natives themselves." There is nothing more fascinating than to be given a glimpse of native customs in little known parts of the world. Miss Stuart gives a most interesting and illuminating talk on the customs and lives of the Maoris and introduces a motion picture film made by the New Zealand publicity department, showing authentically the country and its people. Assisted in Movies Bathie Stuart has appeared before such representative clubs in California as the California Club of San Francisco; the Friday Morning Club, Beverly Hills • Woman's Club, Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena,, and many others just as prominent. While in Hollywood, she assisted with the sound synchronization, and made a movietone prologue for the New Zealand piature, "Under the Southern Cross", released through the Universal Film Corporation. o NORMAL DRAMATISTS TO BE SEEN FRIDAY Class in Play Production to Present : One-act Drama Under the Direction of Helen Sullivan. MISS RICH TRAVELING EAST FOR SIX WEEKS OF WORK AND VACATION Miss Mary Rich, head of the training school, left March 28 for conferences in the East and at the same time will take her vacation. She plans to be gone six weeks, returning the first week in May. The Progressive Education Association convention, to which Miss Rich is a delegate, meets at Washington, D. C, April 3 to 5. After the meeting she will visit schools in the Eastern states to get new ideas for the Normal training school. From April 25 to May 1, there is the National Y. W. C. A. conference in Detroit, Michigan. Miss Rich will attend this as a representative from Washington, and will then return home. . o • WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE TO OCCUR TONIGHT April Showers Idea Is to Prevail Throughout Affair With Purple Streamers to Symbolize Rain. TO BE TRULY INFORMAL "The Giant's Stair', a one-act islay by Wilbur Daniel Steele, crammed with suspense and surprises, will be given in next Friday's assembly by the Normal class in play production, Speech 103. Rehearsal of the play was directed by Helen Sullivan, under the supervision of Victor H. Hoppe. • The story of the play is set in the mountains of North Carolina, among the simple, uneducated mountain people. The action occurs on the night of a mountain storm, with all its fury of wind and rain. The plot is filled with thrills, and' stresses heavily the elements of emotion and suspense. The four characters of the play are Mrs. Wetherburn, played by Mary MacDonald; Till, her sister, played by Virginia Turner; Sheriff Vane, played by Queritin Quick; and Kantpole, the county prosecuting attorney, played by Hugh Lovegren. —o FORMER S T U D E N T HELD BY' CHINESE BANDITS Nina Eleanor Gemmell, whom the papers reported tins weex as Having been captured by Cnmese bandits, together with Mr. and Mrs..R. W. Porteous, was formerly of this school, having graduated in. 1918.. Miss Gemmell has been doing missionary work in China under the China Inland Mission as principal of the Yuanchow mission school for girls: Reports indicate ^that Miss Gemmell is in a serious predicament as these same bandits have been doing... some ruthless slaughtering and robbing in several provinces of South China on the Yangtse'river. . |n m | ,„ ,- nn „», I There are a few tickets for t f tonight's dance, left over. Stu- f i dents may buy them on the s I main landing this afternoon 1 I for 75c a couple. Hurry! Hur- j j ry! Hurry! I With a huge, gay colored rainbow ruling over the night, the W. A. A. girls will sponsor their first annual dance in the big gym this evening, with the "Rec" orchestra furnishing the music. An April Showers idea, will be. carried throughout the informal affair with programs and decorations emphasizing the scheme. Purple streamers floating down, will give an effect of Spring rains, and the rainbow at one corner will contribute its color to the decorations. Perhaps, if one comes with the thoughts of a good time at hand, the pot of gold may be found near the end of the rainbow. Programs Effective Brilliant purple programs lettered in gold will hold the names of partners for the dance. They will be designed to carry out the general motif of the decorations. The dance, begins at 8:30. Programs will be given out upon arrival and made out accordingly. Fifteen dances and an extra will make out the usual list and intermission coming between the eighth and ninth dance. Ann Swanson is in charge of the dance, assisted by members from the'W. A. A. Sports Clothes Reign Men and women will wear sports clothes; preferably skirts and .blouses for the women and cords and bright sweaters for the men. This makes the dance more informal, will add color, and truly carries out a sports dance. There has been a request made that attendants plan to be there on time, a more successful dance will be carried out and better time can be had by the sport-dancers. o :— Ford Is Given Office at Pullman Meeting Sam Ford returned last week from a trip to Pullman, where he attended the annual College Bookstore Association convention at. which bookstores from all the leading colleges,, were represented. Mr. Ford was honored by being elected secretary- treasurer of the organization, while Oscar Willman, manager of the Washington State College bookstore, "was elected president and will attend the Eastern convention.

Miss Edens was granted a leave of absence for the year 1928-29 to take a.trip around the world. While in Europe, she felt the need for more time for her journey, and, at her request, her leave of absence was extended for the year 1929-30. She.returned to New York City last fall. Upon her return to the United States, she underwent two major operations, from which she suffered a relapse. Because of her rare ability as a teacher, her passing is a great loss to the teaching profession as well as to the school, which she so successfully served since 1910. Fisher Pays Tribute President C. H. Fisher, when interviewed, paid a fine tribute to Miss Edens: "Miss Olive Edens was an outstanding personality and her teaching was just as outstanding as her personality. She had been inseparably identified with the life and spirit of the Bellingham State Normal School for the past twenty years. Her personality and teaching have made a lasting contribution to the character of this school. The Bellingham State Normal School always will be indebted to her for qualities of mind and heart which will permanently endure in the life and work of this institution. Both students, and members of the faculty recognized her unusual ability to stimulate intellectual interests and to appeal to the highest ideals of individual conduct and human relationships.

Finley Bob Cox Dorothy Sasse Eileen Runnals James Rork Arnold Johnson REPORTERS Charles Dewey Clayton Unger * Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren S T U Q E N T A P P R E C I A T I ON We are fully cognizant of the fact that when we take the subject of student appreciation for our initial editorial we have taken pen-in-hand for one of the most unpopular causes it would be possible for us to espouse. We realize that we invite the hoots and jeers of the student body. But we believe that the problem brought about by the lack of student attention during many of the recitals on the musical artist course merits serious consideration. In this week's assembly a visiting pianist of unusual ability was 'treated to one of the nicest exhibitions of discourtesy to which it would be possible to subject a guest of the school. Her embarrassment was probably a little greater than that of any of the other artists who have preceded her, because the feeling of uneasiness and lack of understanding was more apparent than usual. Following every group on her program, numbers of students left the auditorium, and just before her final number the entire student body arose en masse and adjourned to lunch, at approximately fifteen minutes to twelve. We" do not wish to palm ourself off as a hypocrite. We would as soon have not been there, because the atmosphere was hardly conducive to careful attention, and in our undeveloped state of musical understanding, one must listen attentively to enjoy a piano recital. Nor' are we attempting to moralize. But we believe that if the students do not get together on some solution of this, that the tendency to disregard the feelings of our guest artists will gain momentum, to the dertiment of our self respect. We don't know what should be done, but we suggest that something be done. There are many more artists to be heard here this quarter, and many of them will be here on fine spring tennis days. We propose that either a change be made in the musical artist's programs, or that the students impose some kind of discipline upon themselves in order to insure the entertainers a reasonable amount of understanding and appreciation. REQUIREMENTS FOR DIPLOMA REVIEWED BY INSTRUCTORS I n an effort to clear up any hazy idea or confusion relating to the new requirements for diplomas as affected by the recent ruling of the State Board of Education, the instructors in the Department of Education here have prepared the following brief statement regarding these requirements: Requirements for certification and diplomas: Standard elementary certificates are issued, by the State Department of Education to graduates of approved teacher-training institution, who have successfully passed the examination in state manual. Candidates for future certification must meet such additional attendance and credit requirements as may be in effect at the time such application is made. The requirements are the same as stated below for the Normal School diploma. Until September 1, 1931, a Normal School diploma will be issued upon the completion of a two-year, three year, or four year course. After September, 1931, the applicant for an elementary diploma shall have attended and earned credits beyond the two year course of one quarter, with 15 quarter-hour credits; after September 1,1932, two quarters, with .30 quarter hour credits; after September 1, 1933, one year, with 45 ',• quarter-hour credits, (a total of three years). Renewal of Diplomas: ^^-Normal -School- diplomas may be renewed upon evidence of twenty-four months of satisfactory teaching t experience in this or other states and territories, and the completion of one additional quarter of, work -beyond the^equirements for grariu-newal is granted. Requirements for a Life Diploma: The holder of a Normal School diploma is eligible to apply for a life diploma when he has completed twenty-four months of teaching experience and one additional quarter of advanced work beyond the requirements for graduation in effect at the time the application is made. Sixteen months of teaching experience must be in the State of Washington immediately preceding application for a life diploma. The additional quarter of work shall be done in the institution from which the applicant graduated;, provided that this quarter of work may be done elsewhere when the institution and the program of study have been approved in advance by the institution issuing the original diploma. To satisfy the requirements of the additional quarter the student must complete fifteen hours of advanced work with an average score of "C". FACULTY VISIT CABIN During the past week several members of the faculty spent a few days at Kulshan Cabin on Mount Baker. Those included in the party were: Mr. E. A. Bond, Dr. C. C. Up-shall, Miss Gunther, and Miss Ear-ley. They left on Tuesday and returned home on Saturday. HEAR HAYES A number of the faculty atended a concert in Seattle during vacation; given by Roland Hayes, a world fa-, mous colored singer.

Saw it first touch the tips of tall fir trees and then slowly creep farther and farther down until it rested and smiled on the lake. Blackbirds were calling across the lake to each other and our companion was fishing somewhere for the fish that were proclaiming their presence by leaping into the air and back into the water, leaving great round wakes in the place. And we thought how like Life that changing surface was. And how like people those ripples' are. How they come and go on the surface of Life. And how, when you think you are riding highest on those waves then the wind of Friendship stops—then the ripples—your "friends"—are gone. You're drifting again wondering where you're going. We've times. been drifting so many Edward Alf, a former student at the Normal school, according to recent reports, has moved to San Diego, where he is working as a mystic. Mr.'Alf taught school after leaving Normal, but found that professional mysticism was more to his liking, and soon became a radio clairvoyant, answering questions sent to him by mail, under the name of Yogi Alpha. According to the report he is achieving great success with his Southern radio audience. o——— The staff of the business office turned thoughts, minds, and radiators toward Seattle during the latter part of the holidays. Mr. Buchanan confided to us that one of the highlights of his trip was his hearing of the famous Roland Hayes. Slu^iil ttyiniQti Agitation is .being started-.to; get the men of the school a lounging or club room. The men have no room of their own at the present time. If they have any "loafing" to be done,.they either must go to the athletic department's . headquarters, stand around in the hall, head for one of the popular abodes off the campus, or start for the wide open spaces. The girls have a league room, where they may go to take it easy, study, or converse. Likewise the faculty have a room, but for the men it's a case of "the man without a club room". In other words,, the men want a "hang-out" all their own. The agitation for it is becoming strong, and Why Not? —B. W. , _ o __ I noticed in a Viking of several weeks ago there was talk of a lounging room for the men of the school. In my opinion, there is no necessary basis for the room when the money spent could be used in a better way, it seems to me. It has been admitted that the school' needs a new gym and a new hall for the men. If every stray penny which comes into the funds is spent on men's lounging rooms and other odds and ends around the school, the really big projects will never find their goal. The men do not really need such a room. There are Baughman's and Krout's, both equally handy, where they can stray in at any time and smoke—which brings up another question. If such a room were here for the men. alone, there would be a certain few who would .be bound to break the school rules and smoke. There are not enough teachers in the school ' to have one stationed there every hour to keep his eye on vagrant students; and so why not take temptation out of the road by not having the room at all? There would be more trouble with that study problem, too. Now, if a boy has nothing to do he often goes over to the library and even does some required reading for a short time, but with a lounging space in the school, the library would lose all of its old drag. I admit (sincerely, I do) that there are arguments for the lounging room, but undoubtedly those against overbalance them all. —M. K.

These nice spring days are the time to show your real stuff. U. of W. track squad gets night work-outs for one week prior to the big meet with the California Bears, on Saturday night. Coach Hec Ed mundson has the workouts mainly for psychological reasons, to get the men accustomed, to running in the shadows and out in the open under the. strong- rays of the pavilion lights, which sometimes prove annoying to track athletes. P R O S P E C T S B R I G H T ER To brighten our column this Week We Would like to pass out a few bouquets in one form or another. The first to whom we wish ol accord a little praise is Coach "Pop" Cunn, varsity baseball coach. Regardless of whether the student body realizes just how much Coach Cunn is doing for the awakening of baseball or not, we would say he is doing some fine work in developing a team from a bunch of scrubs that should prove a true representative of the Viking school. w o y«flwj far *v. U. OF W S TURF: Jimmy Phelan's first Washington football squad will be introduced to Seatle next fall on one of the best turf fields in the country. Two acres, or 87,120 square feet, of grass from Kent valley will be brought to the football field, where it will be replanted to remain permanently. The two acres of sod will be cut in strips of 18 inches in width and about six feet in length and shipped from Kent to be planted in this manner. Once the grass is in it will be protected for a week before each game by a gigantic canvas cover. This will prevent it from becoming soggy when it rains. The turf field came as a result of requests from the U. of W's new coach, Jimmy Phelan, and his staff whose plan to inaugurate a new, faster type of football requires the grass footing. WANTED—TRACKMEN Another bouquet we wish to hand out goes to none other than our Coach, Sam Carver, varsity track coach. Whether the men of the school realize it or not, just how many men it takes to make a track team is doubtfuL We would say that before a coach can turn out a team he has to have enough men to make a team. It takes at least fifteen men and but fourteen are turning out. Here is a real opportunity for some of you former high school stars, or even-if you was not a star, why not make a try. Who really knows what he can do until DIAMOND SQUAD PROSPECTS BRIGHT Few Veterans Return but an Abundance of Material Brightens the Hopes. Pitchers Cause for Worry. SCHEDULE GOOD With the opening of the Spring quarter, the coach started issuing equipment to the prospective Viking baseballers. The prospects for this season are looking rather dull since only four lettermen have returned from last year's team. The pitching staff, which is usually about the hardest of any of the problems that a coach has to deal with, will be a real problem this year. He has a number of good pitchers turning out regularly and may be able to pick a pitching staff from this squad. Those striving for the regular berth are Iverson, Blankenship, Thompson, Emery, and Johnson. Big Problem The biggest problem of the whole situation will be to select an infield. Coach "Pop" Gunn is looking for • three good men to hold down the respective positions of shortstop third sack and the post at the key stone sack. The initial post will undoubtedly be held down by the old veteran Occie Thorsen. The selection of a suitable catch er ought to be easy with two good men turning out for the posi tion. Either man can easily handle the offering of the pitching staff. Outfield Good Three outfielders are back to give the new mateiial a real chance to fight for one of the garden posts. The veterans are Dixon, Miller and v Bailey. So far about twenty-five men have been turning out for the national sport. Some of these are not eligible due to the fact that their grades last quarter were not up to the standard required for the participation in athletics in this school. .Those turning out are: Hugh Mc- Cleary, Alden Blankenship, Ing Iverson, Everett Emery, Arnold Johnson, Ed, Hunnicut; Occie Thorsen, Ray Vaughn, Francis Eacrett, Bert Cole, John Dixon, Ralph Miller, Loren Bailey, John Smith, Pitt. Smith, Thad Ellis, Chuck Dowell, Tom Durham, George McMean, John Moawad, Ted Peterson, H. Mc- Cleary, Brownlow, Austin, and Lin-dall. To judge from the looks of things out there on the field, it looks as though "Pop" Gunn will.turn out a fairly well-balanced team to represent the Normal this year. Schedule Arranged Following is the schedule as it is lined up for this season. It is much shorter than it was last year, due to the fact that neither Normal school will be played. May 3—-St. Martin's college, here. May 7—C. P. S., here. May 10—St. Martin's, there. May 17—U. of W. Frosh, here. May 30—U. of W. Frosh, there. May 31—C. P. S., there. There will be a number of practice games arranged with the local high schools. 7000 People See Ice Hockey at Vancouver Dick Louis spent a couple of days in Vancouver, B. C, last week and enjoyed the ice-hockey game between Portland and Vancouver. He witnessed the first game of the championship play-off between the American and Canadian cities, and declared that more than 7000 people were in attendance. "The game was fast and exciting and at times very rough", Mr. Lewis declared. "The decision of Referee Ion often met with disapproval from the loyal Vancouver fans despite the fact that Vancouver won 2 to 1". EASTER Greeting Cards We have a wonderful assortment to choose from and now is the time to select tnem. YOU'LL want to greet your friends this Easter Season. j Montague-Mc Hugh j CIRCULATING LIBRARY^ *• Long or Short, Thick or Thin, on Track Squad There are many people who der cry the lot that nature has allowed them in the matter of physical endowment. But a little observation ton the subject will show no reason why an average person should be dissatisfied. A glance at the various athletic teams will show that there is a wide variety of types of individuals who make up these teams thus giving able opportunity for the talents of all. Take, for example, an average track team. Probably no other sport represents such a wide range for the display of muscular ability. The events vary from the short sprints to the long runs of two miles or more, then follow the jumps and the weight and throwing events. If one were to line up in a row the ten to twenty individuals who compose a track team he would have an extremely heterogeneus group. Take for an illustration a certain group picture the writer has seen. At one end of the line is a weak, actually skinny looking individual who we find has the' wind and endurance of a deer, for he is a distance runner. At his side is a huge brawny fellow with muscles that fairly burst his suit. He is representative of the classic discus throwers of Greece. The sprinters come in all sizes and shapes. There is one who tips the beams a t ' 210 pounds. At his side is another who is inches below him in height and weighing 60 pounds less, yet is capable of just as fast time and just as much drive in his legs. Jumpers also have few requisites beyond an unusual amount of spring in their legs. Some are heavy and others are lean and lithe with no extra avoirdupois to carry around. Most middle distance runners are well over average height thus possessing long legs which gives them a long stride, but there is a half miler who is thick set, stocky and about two inches below average height who is successful in his specialty. We cannot all be world champions but with hard work and dogged persistence to the task in hand we can find some niche into which we fit with satisfaction and profit to ourselves in both the realm of physical or mental life. MEETS SCHEDULED FOR CINDER SQUAD Prospects Not so Bright for 1930; Well Balanced Team is Yet to be Developed from Material on Hand. TURNOUTS SMALL Three track meets have been scheduled for the coming track season. The Tri-Normal meet will be held here this year, while the other two meets will be with the U. of W. Frosh, there, and the College of Puget Sound, there. The dates have not yet been definitely decided. Prospects for a championship squad are not so bright at the present time, but last year the prospects were not so bright at the beginning and the Vikings finished the season with the Tri-Normal pennant, so draw your own conclusions. Lettermen Back With five lettermen back and an abundance of material Coach Sam Carver will probably be able to mold out a winning squad to defend the title gained last year. The letter men Coach Carver has back to build his team around are: Bink-man, two-miler; Carboneau, miler; Cox, hurdler; Eagan, half-miler; and Erickson, weights. Besides the lettermen- there are two who did not make a letter but made "points in the meets: Gravrock, weights, and Cole, broad jump. ... ' The coach has been sending the team through light work-outs the past few days getting them ready for the tough old grind that is to follow. The squad is still looking around for some. A determined spirit to win t he Tri-Normal meet is expressed by the squad. Besides the lettermen, those turning out are:.. Abshire, Flowers, Faulkner, Shelton, Emory, Lovegren, Voris, Abshire, Stearns, Duyff, and Hansen. o Sports Rally Held to Introduce W. A. A. Work for the Term The sports rally held last night at 4 o'clock in the big gym, brought out about 150 girls. The rally was held mainly to introduce spring sports to the girls, but there was dancing after the meeting and so a good time was had on the side. The meeting opened with Ruth Sammons giving a welcome to the new girls and to those who were back from other quarter's sports work. Girls were urged to turn out for the games offered ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 April 4 - Page 4 ---------- W^HIlsfeT^N^mT^ Hi IN ORGAN RECITAL Second'•;; jbf Lenten • Concerts c | : ^ lt; Giwen Sunday Afternoon ;|;'^ureh;2HeI(ier to Assist^ ^|;Thei seawad of the Lenten organ recitals l^Chauncey Griffith '. will 4«e held jat the St. James Presby-terlan church; 14th street and Tay- ; ; l ^ ; ? ^ n u e ^ S o u t h Bellmgham, Sun- ^ ^ A p r i l ' c , a t 4:30 p. in.; ^ l l ^ / G r i t t f c r i s a graduate of Nor- Httml s?hoql_and is well known in -JSDMS^^ He is now or- •^uoist dfthfe^St. James Presbyterian iShurph ;and;is associated with Miss rdnge, teacher of piano.

The first composition was the beautiful "Chaconne in D Minor", from Bach-Busoni, the heavy, solemn tones rising into passages of great brilliance. Miss Mc- Avoy's second number'was Chopin's soft and lovely "Etude in A Flat". The first selection in Group HI was "Danse des Elves", by Sapellni-koff, a swift-moving, gay little piece which left one feeling that he had actually, seen the little brown men dancing in some green glade of a forgotten ^ gt;rest. Two preludes by Debussey, ?'La Fille aux Cheveux de Iin", and "General Lavine", were next presented. Following them came Liszt's "Rhapsodie Hongroise No. 6", probably the most beautiful of anything on the program. As a n encore, Miss McAvoy ployed "Intermezzo Op. 118" No. 1, from Brahms. .——o ' Miss. Orpha McPherson has been notified by Dr. Thomas D. Wood, of Teacher's College, of an appointment to assist in the organization.of the White House conference on Child Health and Protection and to serve on t h e technical advisory sub committee on rural schools. This is one of the sub-committees of the committee on the School Child, of • which Dr. Wood is chairman. ; : o-1 Dr.'Miller went, during vacation, to Linnf ield College at McMinnville, Oregon, ag»a member of the Educational Committee in regard to the educational policy of the college. He is a member of the board of trustees of that college. a person of positive character, she arrived at strong convictions through her own thinking and never hesitated to express her opinion when occasion demanded. Personality Precious "The most precious thing to her was human personality. The chief aim of her teaching was the development and enrichment of the personality of individual students. She used literature to interpret life in all its varied moods and experiences. Her work with students came first, and she devoted all her strength and thought to doing as much as was humanly possible for the development of her students. Her extensive traveling and wide reading were engaged in primarily to enrich' her work as a teacher. Hundreds, yes, thousands of students bear the evidence in their lives of the inspiration and stimulation which she brought to them through her teaching. 'To be separated from such a personality and teacher is an irreparable loss to students, faculty and the school. We are deeply grateful for the contacts we have had with a personality that has inspired us with courage to face life as a great adventure, with a love for truth and with a sacred regard for the worth of human personality". Miss Anna J. Beiswenger, president of the Faculty Forum, gives the following tribute in behalf of the faculty, to Miss Edens: Forum Regretful "It is with profound sorrow that the members of the Faculty Forum THOMAS MANOR Naomi Austin was elected president of Thomas Manor at a house meeting held last Tuesday evening. She succeeded Louise Smith in office. Marion Marchand was reelected social secretary for the coming quarter. Mrs. Minniey Thomas, the housemother, gave the girls a short talk on rules, for the benefit of the new girls in the house, and the meeting then adjourned. There are fourteen girls staying at Thomas Manor this quarter. They are Ruth Shepherd, Louise Smith, Bernice Strohm, Florence Pearson, Marjorie Tuttle,. Vera Peterson, Kattierin Zeran, Marion Marchand, Margaret Hubler, Naomi Austin, Clara Stroops, Sigrun Hal-grimson, Felicia Szambellan, and Vina Smith. •{••— gt; no—no—»«—m Miller Sutherlen Printing Co. \.

"We who have worked with- her, esteemed her not only for the brilliancy of her mind from which came inspiration to all who had contact with her, but also for the charm of her personality which made her a desired companion and a cherished friend. "Because of the richness of her experience, her deep insight into life, her wide knowledge of those minds who have interpreted human affairs for us, and the expression which she gave to her own creative impulse, her going is to us an irreparable loss." Greeted by a n enthusiastic house the "Butter and Egg Man" presented by the Bellingham Theater Guild last Tuesday night went off with all the glories of a professional production. The comedy, under the personal direction of Mr. Deane Seegar, was supplemented by fine musical selections and provided a full evening of entertainment and was a sure cure for the "blues". The hard boiled producer who wheedled the green-country town lad the 'butter and egg man", to invest in his play, the subsequent comedy caused by t h e falure of the play, the feverish haste with which the interest was bought and sold, and the final triumph of the poor butter and egg man, form the skeleton of the comedy. Will Mock as the producer, Joseph Lehman, with his inimitable "sweetheart", his derby hat and cigar; and Frank Reno as Peter Jones, the-butter and egg man, that brave, ignorant creature with, his nervous gestures and bashful demeanor, were two characters perfectly played. These two young men lived their parts and certainly put them across to the audience. Ethel Little, as Jane Weston, the sweet and demure stenographer who won the heart of the butter and egg man, also won a place in the hearts of all her listeners. The clever remarks and fine acting of Dorothy Taft Burchette were outstanding and she never failed to get a laugh. « Cast Large Although the cast was large most of the characters* were perfectly played none were out of harmony. Other characters were: Franklin Lock as Jack McClure, Joseph Lehman's shadow in the producing game; Catherine Schupp Burpee as Mary Martin, the actress gold digger; Thad Ellis the obliging waiter; Joe Wetherby as Cecil Benham, the sophistical director; Lawrence Du-fraine as Bernie Sampson, who had a terrible time with his wise-cracking girl friend Peggy Mai'lowe, played by Betty Morse; Katherine Mounter as Kitty Humphreys, a telephone girl; Hery Hess as Oscar Fritchie, the hotel keeper who turned producer, and K. Szymansky as A. J. Patterson the lawyer. Much credit for success of the play must go to the excellent direction of M. Deane Seeger, and technically, where setting and lighting were concerned, to Franklin Lock, who did a fine piece of work as stage manager. o .

The committee says, hvits report to President C. H. Fisher, that the specific requirements for life diplomas this year are those included in the 1929 report, with the additional requirement, as fixed by the State' Board of Education, that the applicant must be teaching in this state and must have completed a minimum of sixteen months' teaching in the State immediately preceding application. The applicant must have had a total of not less than twenty-four months' teaching experience. The committee reported that it granted thirty-five renewals, that it has five applications pending, and that it has denied one. The complete list of graduates awarded life diplomas, with places of residence and year of graduation, follow: Mary Louise Allen, Port Angeles, 1926; Helen AUmain, Auburn, 1925; Elvira A.

Most of the students attending school during the summer quarr ter are upper classmen, and it was therefore thought best to include all in the student body because ,there are so few freshmen and sophomores Next, fall, at the beginning of the quarter, new officers will be elected, and the group under supervision of Dr. Irving E. Miller, will again be active. : The present class was organized during the winter quarter and has been active through both winter and spring quarters.

One of the most interesting features of the school year was the unassuming little photography exhibit held in the Men's Clubroom this Mori-day and yesterday. The fine.work done with the camera by many of the Normal'students is evidence of the fact that through photography, well directed, the ordinary individual, with no particular early training, can find artistic expression. Aside from the beautiful pictures which one is able to acquire, the photography course would be valuable if it did nothing but awaken the students to the beauties which lie around them. Some of the charming compositions in the exhibit were acquired by making unusual approaches to familiar scenes. K L I P S U N C O N D E N S E D ( A N D O N T I M E) As the time draws nearer for some of us to say goodbyes with, maybe, a few sighs of regret, part from old friends, pack that book of snaps and junk that was collected during the year, we see only a treasure of memories in the chest of past events. ' Dim lights, soft music, and shuffling feet brought us together in the first friendship Mixer of the year; then a peppy assembly for Homecoming; a great game with Ellensburg on Saturday (too bad, better luck for ; next year), a banquet and more music at the Armory in the evening; V^Thanksgiving vacation; turkey with all the fixings; the Fall Extempo content; Quentin Quick and Eleanor Langworthy, winners; Theater Guild's play, "The Show-Off," and, last but not least, we ushered in Santa Claus and vacation.

"Never," says the writer in his foreword, "have American public men in responsible positions, directing the destiny of the Nation, been so brutal, hypocritical and corrupt. The Constitution was treatfd as a doormat on which politicians and army officers wiped their feet iiu the muck. Never has the Supreme Court been "treated with such ineffable contempt, and never has that tribunal so often cringed before the clamor of the mob." In this work a new interpretation of events and a new appraisal of men is given the reconstruction period. The author prefers to call the era one of Revolution rather than of Reconstruction.

MllS Junior Athletic Association Is Medium of Health and Physical Education— Promotes Citizenship." -.:.-' The Junior Athletic Association has been organized as a socializing program through the medium of health arid physical education, or for the purpose, as stated in its constitution, of prompting physical efficiency, of providing a n intramural and intraclass athletic program and of • fostering the highest ideals of good sportsmanship and good citizenship. The more modern conception of physical education is a departure from standardized formal activities which .aimed ,merely .at physical development. It is believed that the same benefits may be derived from a play. program, which will in addition incorporate a social-izing deyelopment and will lay. the foundation for. past, school recreational activity. The Junior Association aims to promote good citizenship through the athletic, program,by developing with play, honesty, generosity, obedience, submission to group leadership, courtesy, self control, the ability to observe quickly, to learn the meaning of freedom through law, and to learn the value and function of work and joy: of accomplishment. The organization fosters an intro-mural program, hi order that the tire group may be kept actively participating, instead of giving all the time to picked teams who have developed specific skills. The association also attempts to create an interest in and a n aptitude for individualized activities which will carry over into adult life and form a nucleus for continued recreational activities. Junior Athletic Association is organized on the. point system in such a way t h a t proficiency in definite skills is not essential to earn the reward. Rather the emphasis is put upon the development of good sportsmanship and good citizenship.

Along a smooth, flowing river nestled a rambling building which had served for many years as a trading post. . The ground was bare of snow now and the river was no longer covered with ice. All nature showed evidence of coming spring. There appeared t o . b e more life around the post than there had been in many months. Every day or so now, some hunter or trapper came in from the forest after having spent a hard winter in some isolated place. They came from the four points of the compass, but their stories were strangely alike. They told of t h e wonders they had seen, the hardships they had endured, and the wild things they had subdued. On the slopes of a hill and overlooking a bay which is part of Pur get Sound, stands the» red brick building of a Normal, school. The green lawn- and t h e leafy foliage of another year meet the eye. There are students passing along the walks going, from one building, to another. Among those passing.to and fro, new faces appear..

Who is Harold Lloyd? Should children go to the motion pictures ? Who put the "move" in movies? These and doubtless many similar questions have been worrying the more studious and careful students of this institution. Questions such as the above will now be referred to Professor Pelagius Williams, head of the Department of Social Scence. He is the first of our instructors and perhaps of tile profession, to distinguish himself by an invasion of the movie world. Mr. Williams might fittingly be called "a self-made movie "star," were it not for.the rumor that he has a rival who will double-.--step' m and take the glory. Mr; Williams, on. his trip abroad this summer found as a fellow voyager, Miss Lucia Hall of Whatcom High school. Before separating at Liverpool the two arranged to meet at the Paris office- of the American Express Company to - compare notes oh their varied experiences. They met as. planhed gt; • a t 31 Rue Scribe, near the Opera. While the interview was taking place they were interrupted by; the: setupof^^^ -three,-movie-cameras, and the appearance of the director. The latter inquired very politely if the two Americans would appear as principals in "The Girl with the Beautiful Hands", the picture about to be filmed. With, visions of a brilliant career in the "pictures" attractive offers from Hollywood and with the pedagogical passion for "uplift," they consented. The star of the picture we regret to announce was not Mr. Willams, but the well known French actor, Gaston Jacquet. The Amerians played the part: of tourists, making their arrangements for a trip abroad. The director expressed doubt that the picture would be shown in America, as he commented; "French pictures don|t seem to bejwell received in the United States." If "Tne Girl With The Beautiful Hands" should be shown in Bellingham Mr. Williams says he "suspects .that there will be at least two interested spectators.: However, he modestly refrains from-urging his friends to desert their ''favorite;' stars''. v until the two ~-ijellingham amateurs -have had a little more experience in filin-dbm^^.• gt; v'"':':;:-'•^^•:;':.-.;:'v:-.":•;:vi^:.tf';•''':'o,/• "'t.

Miss Sundquist's botany class for this quarter has been studying the evolution of plants. The Class started with the very lowest form of plant life and will : work up through the most complex. Most of the material so far has been gathered here in Bellingham. One form of green algae, Oedogonium, had to be sent away for, however. The University keeps cultures of the various algae and they supply other schools when they need plants. The supply of Oedogonium did not come as soon as it,was expected" and so the class jumped ahead one lesson and studied Fucus, a fornx. of brown algae. This was gathered on the beach at South Bellingham, at low tide.

Dramatics as an art is one of- the most advantageous means of cultural development in Normal Schools and Colleges. The ability to act well a part and appear before an' audience impersonating another character and attempting to submerge your own personality in that of another, cannot but help the actor to get a better understanding of humanity. A good, spontaneous actor is one who knows human nature and is able to place himself in another person's shoes, as it were. He must submerge his own personality so completely that the audience sees only the fictitious character. A successful dramatic presentation promises satisfaction to the audience and performers. Acting is a means of expressing or interpreting life. It calls for co-operation and diligent devotion to the tasks on the part of actors and actresses in rehearsals. A sympathetic audience is also necessary to a creditable production. The Drama Club has already begun working on the quarterly play, Let us get next to their activities, encourage them in their efforts, and have a word of good-will before as well as after the presentation of the play. Ladies, we are hearing a lot of complaint about the shuffling of feet in the library. It must be the galoshes. If you can pick your feet up a little more, well and good. If you can't, well and good. But, by all means do not discard the "overshoes." We would ten times rather hear an innocent shuffling of the feet than to listen to an incessant straining of the vocal chords. "Avoid a cold." You who have not read Sandburg's life of Lincoln should not "remain in ignorance. Read it now. The life of our truly great American as told by a truly great man of literature is at your disposal. If you have "life's little joke" let us have it. You can tell only a few of the students. We can get it to the entire school. We will even tell the joke to the faculty and your grade will not suffer. T h i s year the Messenger will sponsor a Valentine hop at "rec" - hour. That is, we will have a box placed on the landing into which you may drop your valentines. We will distribute them at recreation hour. All expectant recipients be there. The Basketball game at the Whatcom gym last Saturday evening was well attended.

By VIC The additional appropriation granted Normal School for the proposed library is another indication that congestion and overloading., and., overcrowding in our book-stuffed reading room—I don't call it library-will not last very long now... In one respect or two, the congestion in and among the book., stacks., is., a chance at playing "hide and seek", but there must be lenient mercy on those who.rather prefer to. sit arid read, or stand and whisper. You know what I mean of course; Don't you? * * * * . .,- Carl Sandburg has set the Normal a-talking. There is -much to talk about; with regards to the poet. He was a good singer a good humorist, and a good entertainer. 09 44-100 per cent of liis lecture was •entertaining. * « # # Say, what do you think of that man who impersonated a dozen figures in history? He is an artist, and his work is an art. And it is an art that is not an easy art. There is skill and talent and genius intermingled in the whole network... It is not like dancing a hula-hula, or a Charleston, or brushing a finger over the strings of a ukelele.'No, .there is a whale of a difference between the former and the latter... But to the average mind, unfortunately, there seems to be more thrill and excitement in the glaring, the savage, the semi-vulgar, that are found in some stage entertainments. * * * • Another student publication is being pushed through, which will be called THE RED ARROW, and published once in a quarter. The magazine has not come out yet, but there are already some remarks as to what it will be like. Well, what do you think it will be like? Shall it contain heaps of humor, borrowed from such magazines as the '"College Humor," "Life',, "Judge," etc.? No, these are for those whose imaginations are just focused oh the spot where their feet are lazily planted. Shall it contain up-to-date news in the world of sports ,or of latest Paris styles ? No, these are matters that do not merit more "than passing attitude. Shall it contain clever comic cartoons such as those found in the magazine section of the dailies? No, these are for those whose range of vision do not extend beyond their steaming dinner. The "Red Arrow" will be devoted to the literary productions., of., the students of the Bellingham State Normal School. those promising youths who have in them that rare love of things above the ordinary, who think lefty thoughts and who aspire for still loftier achievements. This magazine will offer an outlet for the emotions and ideas of the youths of this school, those thoughts which give outward expression of the throb of life and the potential talents of the state. In its pages will be minored the future of" Paific Northwest literature. Librarian of Children's Literature Makes Big rat With Young Pupils - Fulfilling a promise to tell a story for the children in assembly,'Miss Dixon appeared in a special ^ training school assembly Tuesday morning and told the story from the "Arabian 'Nights',"' "The Merchant, the Jar of Olives, and Gold." As a setting for the story, fifteen "fifth grade children dressed in Oriental costumes, appeared on the stage with Miss Dixon. Students Made Costumes. These costumes were dyed and made by the students in the Speech 103 class. This class has as its objective, stage production and the working out of possible entertainments for the grades, high school, and community. At Miss Osborne's request they took over the staging of the Persian scene. Two members of the class designed the vases and the whole group worked on the'arrangement of the characters on the stage. - While the chief benefit of the pro- j class, the working out of details with the-children furnished them a great deal of enjoyment. Although * the children had the least planning to do .of perhaps any assembly ever given by them, they had the pleasurable experience of watching the progress of the work. : * Junior Messenger Published. . "The ending of the, first semester's work in the straining school was marked not snly by promotions but also by-the publication of the first issue of the Junior Messenger containing a picture of a scene from "Dream Book" which was donated to the training school by the eighth grade graduation class as their gift to the school. Of the pupils graduating, six will enter Whatcom high school and four, Fairhaven high school. The graduates were entertained Thursday. at a special luncheon arranged by Miss Countryman's eighth ductiqn was gained by the speech' grade group. mm Other services of secondary importance that the Magazine will possibly render are:.. It., will., advertise the school, and the intellectual category of its students; it will foster high literary ambitions among the student body; it will keep the school and alumni . in close touch with each other; it will bring the Normal School community to the state community, to the advantage of mutual understanding and closer relationship. An open letter to the Assembly Committee: . On occasions where there is a lecture, or an entertainment program, in the auditorium, it would be well to reserve a few front seats to members of the Messenger staff. This is a real practice in journalism work. There can't be any objection to this. Newspaper reporters should always be as near as possible to the speaker or the stage. • » » # Literary Clubs are organized to foster high scholarship, and such other high sounding terms every student Iovea to hear, and then the dance is held, or the student mixer is staged, to accomplish these objectives in view.

In the first inter-school game of the year Coach Carver's varsity basketball team will meet the University of Washington Freshmen tomorrow evening at eight o'clock in the Whatcom Gym. In the preliminary at seven o'clock, the Viking Jayvees will oppose the Midway Cigarmen in a regular City League contest. The Vikings are doped as, having a wonder team, and are favored to win by local followers. With Odell at one forward post, and Jensen at center, the offense seems well taken care of. These two alone look able to. contribute enough points to gain the decision while the defense so-far has proven almost impenetrable. Frosh Aggregation Strong. The Frosh squad's combination is not definite, but is known to be strong. With several full teams of high caliber out for berths, the Frosh mentor is not suffering for lack of material. According to advance reports, two separate Frosh teams were to be selected—one to play in the Seattle City League, and one to engage in outside contests, but the line-ups have been juggled in order to obtain two well-balanced combinations. However, a real U. of W. outfit is to be on hand at the Whatcom gym tomorrow evening. This game brings together two of the strongest school teams in the Northwest. It is sure to prove one of the season's best encounters.

The organization of the'club this quarter is especially timely for many will be prepared for the arrival of spring scenery. At the first cabinet meeting which was held last Tuesday evening the following executive committee were elected: Al Brown, chairman, Lulu Elliott, Lillian Haskie, and Lyman Pheifer. Faculty sponsors are H. C. Ruckmick and H. C. Philippi. New Sysfehi of Selecting Candidates for Admission Has • Been Arranged by the Philo Society^: With palpitating hearts and shaking. knees, eleven aspiring Philo members tried out before the club Thursday evening, Jan. 13, Readings and musical selections of a wideyvariety constituted the evening's program. The aspirants then adjourned, lingering, hopefully in the halls for the decision of the club.. The Philo members enjoyed one of the most heated parliamentary discussions in the history of the club. Words flew thick arid fast, and different members "called" each other on their lack of knowledge of parliamentary procedure. It started with a long argument over the system of voting, new members into the organization. One motion possessed two long amendments and there was a demand for a recount of votes that started another debate. The whole .question concerned whether or not .to have a committee to judge the aspirants. At a much later hour than anticipated the meeting adjourned, leaving the fate of the would-be-Philos in the hands of a committee. The new members of the Philoma-thean Literary society this quarter are: Robert Fisher, Maurice Thompson, Jean Scott, Sverre Arestad, Ralph Nelson, Gladys Burton, Marguerite Tromenhauser Karen Ostrum. POET GIVES ADVICE TO YOUNG AUTHORS Some Modern Poetry Good; Some Rotten, Declares Carl Sandburg, Famous Poet-Author-Lecturer. * Ounnar Berg: "Do you think they approved of that lecture?"

Owing to the fact: t h a t Bob .Wa^er broke his: arm lie did- not tryout' as he;. gt;ha$rplanned. The great man stood silent, thinking for a few moments and then laughing, said: "Work like hell. Maybe be a hobo. Sometimes be as tight as you. can. Sometimes be as loose as you can." This is Carl Sandburg's advice to a young man intending to go into the field of literature. He seemed fatigued— it was just after he had finished delivering his lecture in the Normal auditorium last Saturday evening, during the entire course of which he changed his position only three times. Asked for his opinion on modern poetry, he replied that his ideas changed with the dates; that some of it was good, and some of it" was rotten. He told a number of stories about Abraham Lincoln, whose life he has studied, and about whom his latest book is written. Lincoln, according to the poet-author-lecturer, was, in a certain sense, one of America's supreme artists. He also gave a number o,f selections from his poetry, and finished his lecture, with some of Americas'own folk songs. The audience was intensely quiet during the whole course of the lecture but when Sandburg sang old negro songs, a cowboy song, some verses from the Boll Weevil song, and others, accompanying himself on a guitar, many feet some cased in dainty slippers and some' in shiny oxfords, tapped lightly on the floor with the rhythm of the music. The songs were not just songs,\bu£- they were our own songs, arid as a purely American as the man whom we;will never forget, Abraham Lincoln; . He gave a version of a Texas negro's song calling his wares, doughnuts, through the streets. If it had been sung in French or Italian it would have passed for an opera, the speaker claimed. Mr. Sandburg, - Judge William P. Brown, of Bellingham, an old friend of the poet's hobo days; June Wethr errell, and Maurice. Thompson were entertained after the-lecture by Mr. and Mrs. eHrbert E. Fowler, at their home. Miss KIBBE, Graduate of the Bellingham Normal School. Old Grad Shows Ability in the Field of Botany (By Tony Mustacich) A graduate of this-school, Alice L. "Kibbe, has recently achieved considerable prominence in the field* of botany through the publication, by the Field Museum of Chicago, ofjier survey of the flora of Hancock County, Illinois. Miss Kibbe's dissertation, which is one of the most complete botanical surveys., ever made of any large section of this country, is being published by the Field Museum at their Own expense, because of its scientific value. In preparing her survey, Miss Kibbe worked at the University of Illinois, the Missouri Botanical Gardens at St. Louis; Missouri, the Field Museum, and other institutions, in addition to her field work in Hancock .county. .Miss Kibbe-graduated from this school with the class of '05. While in school she was very active in school endeavors. She was president of the Y..W. C. A. and of the Alcott Club, which was later renamed the Alkisiah Club. After graduation Miss Kibbe became principal of the Winlock High School, remaining in this capacity for three years. Later she held the same office in the Mossyrock High School for several years. While teaching Agriculture at Eatonville High School, Miss Kibbe held the*, distinction of being the only woman teacher of Smith-Hughes work in Washington. Recently she received her Ph. D. degre in Botany at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In addition she holds A. B. and M. A. degrees in Biology from the University of Washington. At present, Miss Kibbe is at the head of the Department of Biology at Carthage College, Hlinois. At Carthage she has established a Wild Life Preserve, which contains nearly all the plants native to Illinois. House Notes YOES' HALL Florence Christiansen went home to Stanwood for the week-end.

Baker and Friday Harbor Two special attractions for the summer, quarter are the courses in field work Avliich are offered at Mt. Baker and Friday Harbor by the Normal. '; Last year was the first _for the Mt. Baker course. All those who were enrolled in geography at Bellingham were sent up there for one week. The work proved so popular and valuable that this year it is to be repeated and the students in nature study are to be given a similar week. . The Mt. Baker region is rich in geological phenomena and in glaciers and streams. The entire week is spent in trips to lakes, glacial valleys, streams, eroded rocks, and other points of interest to the geographer. , Region Rich in Plant Life. Due to the rapid increase in altitude the variety of plant life within reach of the nature students is very great. It varies from the abundant flora of the Bellingham district to the small plants characteristic of the region above the tree line. The nature stjudy students will spend their week in field trips which will include study of plant and insect life and ecological relationships. The Kulshan cabin will be given over to the use of the students taking the Normal courses during the month of July. It has sleeping rooms and a large kitchen. Meals will be prepared and served at the cabin. The geography course will be in charge of Robert Landon, of Chicago, who had charge of it last summer. Nature study will be under Hilda Kosene, a regular instructor in the Science department at the Normal. Two Courses at Friday Harbor. The two courses at Friday Harbor have been given successfully for several years. The Normal co-operates with the University of Washington in running the Puget Sound Biological Station, just across the little bay from the village of Friday Harbor. A large dining hall and study, a library, several laboratories, and a storeroom are the permanent fixtures. Living quarters are tents. Six dollars and -fifty, cents pays for half a tent for the entire nine weeks of the summer term. Plant and Animal 'Biology are the courses given by the Normal. Plant biology is a study of the classification, recognition, and distribution of plants. The islands are rich in materials and it is-not difficult to collect specimens of over a hundred different plants on the field trips which the class makes. The animal biology class studies animal forms, especially invertebrate forms, and recognition of common birds, animals and insects. There is a twelve-foot tide in that locality and the life exposed is abundant. Besides this there is a dredge which is busy every day dragging the bottom of the Sound for life from the parts Avliich the tide does not expose. Station Keeps Boats. Classes are taken to and from the neighboring islands in an old fishing boat, the Medea. Near the station trips are made afoot or in rowboats. The Station keeps about twenty-five rowboats which are always ready and free for student use. Classes begin at eight and last until four, with an hour off for noon. Evenings are spent in rowing, hiking, fishing, and studying. Every Sunday there is a trip on the Medea to places around the Sound. The schedule of trips usually includes: Mt. Constitution, American Camp; English Camp; Spieden Island, where many fossils are found, and other pleasant places, among which is always an island upon which the gulls nest. This year the Normal courses will last either six or nine weeks, as the student may wish, and will be under the direction of Dr. Rigg and Dr. Brode. Dr. Rigg, who will etach Plant Biology, is from the Univer- FINEST MUSICIANS APPEARTO YEAR Musical Artists Course Offers Excellent Opportunities to Students. (Continued on Page Three) FLOA-TIAX FRIDAY HARBOR STATION Six programs by world famous musicians will comprise the Musical Artists' Course at Bellingham next year. This course is put on by the Women's Music Club and the Normal. Students of the Normal are admitted to it on their student activities ticket. First Number in December The first number, given in December, will be Edward Johnson, lately acclaimed by John McCormack as the "greatest living tenor." He will be followed by Mary Lewis, operatic artist of established fame. This is her first trip to the Coast, but in her debut as "Mimi" in "La Boheme," Miss Lewis won praise at the Metropolitan Opera House. The dramatic story of her sudden rise to success appeared in the Ladies' Home Journal for May, 1927. The Rumanian violinist, Georges Enesco, is a composer of music, and plays beside the violin the cello, piano and organ. He is reputed to have a perfect technique in bowing. His appearance here will be anticipated with pleasure since he is the first violinist to appear since Cecilia Hanson in 192C. Novel Ensemble Coming The English Singers offer a novelty in ensemble singing. Seated at a table, they bring a note of informality, and render the ancient madrigals as was the custom 50 years ago. ' The entire program is given in English. The pianist of the year is Hai'old Bauer, of English birth, who is recognized as a great artist in Europe and America. Persuaded by Pader-wski, Bauer forsook his study of the violin for the piano, where his talent has been so plainly demonstrated. Harold Bauer is an American citizen, and made his debut with the Boston Symphony. Those who have heard Barrere's Little Symphony Orchestra hail with enthusiasm its reappearance in Bellingham.., Consisting of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, trumpet, and bassoon, combined with a balance of string instruments, marvelously directed, the orchestra'is truly symphonic and has been pronounced unforgetable. - Five Numbers During Past Season The Editor Writes A Letter to High School Graduates NOTED LECTURERS AT Unstatistical evidence - would probably show that only "five per cent of the world's population is capable of thinking; and, only 1 per cent of this five really do think. To the High School Students who read this paper: This paper was Written for you. Other people will get it. Other people will read it. We hope they will like it; but it was made for you. If you do not find it worth while, we have Wasted our efforts. We do not advertise our school very much. No one has spoken to you in assembly about why you should come to the Bellingham Normal. No one has sent you a catalog except at the request of yourself or your friends. No one in official position here has talked to you about coming to our Normal. We are not going to do it, either. Some friend of yours here at Normal handed in your name as one who might like to come here next year. We have undertaken to tell you the things that you might wish to know if you should come to school. They are the things that we as students think you would appreciate. The other things, the required courses,, the faculty, the graduates of former years, such things can be found in the catalog. Some people think of normal schools as narrow-—We don't Want you to think that. About half of our subjects are non-professional. Many students come here who never intend to teach and who hardly take a required course. What do they take? Botany, zoology, chemistry, if they are interested in science. Art courses, basketry, advanced work in water colors and pastels, if they are interested in art. Mechanical drawing, machine design, carpentry, if they are interested in manual arts. Many things in many departments, if they are interested in doing so. Other people, think of normals as "sissy" schools, where no self respecting boy would go... If you are inclined to think that way, look up our athletic record. Inquire around. There are many grade school and high school coaches scattered around over the state who got their start right here at B. S. N. S. They are proud of it. ''•'? This paper is to tell you what you would like to know, to correct any false impressions you may have had about us, and Ao-boost our Normal as honestly as possible: We hope you like it:—The Editor. Bellingham Unrivaled in Variety of Scenic Attractions for Visitors Students Listen to Talks Given by Poets,, Sociologists, and Scientists Speaking on equally wide-spread subjects a large and varied group of lecturers have addressed the student body in the past year. Outstanding figures among these have undoubtedly been Caii Sandburg, Tom Skeyhill, Boy Chapman Andrews, Lew Sarett, and Edward'T. Devine. These five, more than any others, have left a deep impression on the students, both as a body and as- individuals. Poet Lectures. Carl Sandburg, famous Illinois poet and author of "Abraham Lincoln. The Prairie Years," spoke here January 15. His discussion of Lincoln, the reading of his own poetry, and his charmingly informal banjo-playing and singing gave the audience a .glimpse of a great poet and left the feeling that poets are, after all, very human. Tom Skeyhill, w or Id- traveler, ex- Fascist, poet, and lecturer, turned a new light on world affairs when he spoke on "Mussolini and the Black Shirts," January 20. This dramatic lecture has been described as a magic spell which transports an entire audience to Italy for the hour. With the aid of motion pictures and slides, Boy Chapman Andrews, lectured for over two hours" February 24 on his world famous expedition to-the Gobi Desert. Series of Lectures. Edward T. Devine, dean of the graduate school of the University at Washington, D. C, gave Normal students a most practical series of lectures on contemporary social problems and recent nationalistic revolutions, during the entire week, April 4 to April 8. Perhaps the speaker that held the greatest appeal for the students, first shaking the balcony with laughter and then holding over the audience a tense stillness during which no one dared whisper or move—was Lew Sarett, the "Poet of the Wilderness," who spoke here March 18, the last day of the winter quarter. The audience was charmed not only by his poetry and by his appreciation of nature and the great out-of-doors, but by the last few minutes of his talk, when he "struck right home" with his story of the college student's vacation, showing the. thoughtless way in which parents are often treated. .

It is here that old man Puget scooped -out his sound and planted the hundreds of islands clad. in. wooded loveliness, surrounded by the mighty waters of the Pacific, sometimes calm, blue and peaceful in the warm rays of sunshine; sometimes a sullen gray beneath menacing clouds, again whipped into choppy white caps, throwing fine spray into the air.. Here are the many coves and harbors that have been etched out through years of wave and tide; here the great seaport that, offers its shelter to ships that sail the seven seas. Warmed by the Japanese current, most of the larger islands are covered with little farms. The smaller ones still support the native evergreens.

League New Organization. The recent Women's League election at which Margaret McCoy was : elected to succeed Dorothy Envin, retiring president, marked the third birthday of that organization. It is a lusty infant. Since it was founded in 1924 it has grown into . one of the inost constructive and influential organizations on the campus. . The League attempts to make the school life of the woman student more pleasant and more fruitful, to help her to make the most of the opportunities offered at the Belling-ham Normal, and to furnish activities which Mill provide her with diversion and relaxation from the strain, of school work. Looks Out for Strangers. A "Big Sister" system is maintained; every girl who comes to the Normal a stranger is given a sophomore "Sister" to help her over the trying time that comes before she begins to feel at home and t ° niake her own friends. The work of the Women's League is grouped into several divisions, with a committee directing the activities of each field. There are eight of these standing committees. Under the Fellowship committee the work of meeting the trains and caring for the stranger is done. Publishes Booklet. Each year the standards committee compiles and publishes a booklet containing general information regarding the necessary expenses of the school year, a booklet of,great value to both new and prospective students. The Social committee supervises the social events sponsored by the League. One informal dance for the girls living outside of Edens Hall, the dormitory, is given each quarter. Other affairs under the direction of this committee are various teas, parties, and mixers. Encourages Scholarship. Each quarter a banner is awarded to the women's house which leads in scholarship, by the League, through the scholarship committee. The Leadership committee awards a similar banner for distinction in its field. Other standing committees are: Social Service, Program, and Election. Officers for next year were elected a few weeks ago and appearances indicate that the League will take an even higher place in school activities next year than it did this year P R E S I D E N T C . H . F I S H ER To whom much of the credit for the recent growth of ihe Bellingham Normal is due. Mr. Fisher came here in !923 and since that time he has worked unceasingly for the growth of the institution. He has reorganized much of the curriculum and has been most active in support of the building program. The students know they can trust him to be always on th; alert to help them to get the best offered in normal education. Mr. Fisher is now on his Way East to hire some instructors for next year. DRAMATIC NUMBERS SHOWN AT NORMAL DURING PAST YEAR Moroni Olsen and Radford Art Players Show at Normal During Year EDENS HALL VIEW OF LUMMI ISLAND Drama forms a constant source of interest at the Norma I. Each quarter the student body, through the Drama Club, puts on a play, and every quarter, sometimes oftener, outside dramatic talent is presented. This year has seen some excellent productions. Favorites of every season are the Moroni Olsen Players of Salt Lake City. They have appeared twice this year. In the fall quarter they presented James Barrie's delightful comedy "Dear Brutus," and in the winter quarter, "Outward Bound", a dramatic story of souls outward bound on an unknown sea. The Moroni Olsen players have appeared at the Normal each season for several years and never fail to draw a capacity crowd. ' "Disraeli" Presented. An'outstanding event of the fall quarter was the presentation of "Disraeli" by the 'Radford Art players, of Tacoma. The story of international conspiracy was made doubly interesting by the excellent character portrayal of the actors and by the lovely old-fashioned costumes. Additional outside dramatic numbers of interest were two readers of national prominence. Maude Scheer-er, director of the Studio of Drama, of New York, appeared in the fall quarter. She read two plays with such skill that the audience could almost see the characters on the stage. Ruth Draper, famous character artist, gave a group of original Drama Club Gives Four Well Known Plays Every Year For the students who wish to participate in dnuua while in school the Drama Club has been organized. In it is concentrated the dramatic talent of the student body.

The play for the winter quarter was "Milestones," the study of a family history through three generations, from the hoop-skirt period to the present day. It gave the players an excellent opportunity in character portrayal, especially in the parts which changed from youth to old age. Comedy Now in Preparation. Tlie club is now working on an entirely different type of play, "Three Live Ghosts", a lively comedy full of cockney parts which test the actors' ability. It will be presented two days during commencement week. Because of the continual change of Literature and Music Developed The aim of the literary club is, in general, to improve their members in literaturs, music and social attainments. During the past year one of the activities of some of these clubs has been to make a detailed study of an author and his works, the work being carried on through the entire quarter. . The departmental clubs have a large variety of interests. They further activities and interests in the study of music and musicians, authors and writing, the study of political situations and world relationships, photography, debate and extempore contests, camp fire and scout work, plays and play productions, athletics, hiking, and religious study. The social clubs sponsor teas, danc-enrollment, the casts of the plays ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 May 20 Supplement - Page 3 ---------- tltiii Dea» of Men Regulates Housing S »f Men Students—Many ^ Eat at Edens Hall. Housing conditions for the women of the school are in charge of the Dean of Women's office. No girl is allowed to live at a house which the Bean has not investigated and found fit. Working conditions are regulated for those who must work all or part of their way while in school. Meals, study, and sleeping hours are so regulated as to keep the girl as efficient as possible whiie in Normal. , On the edge of the campus stands Edens Hall, a beautiful school home for the younger girls. No girl over twenty-five is allowed to live there because it is thought that the as sociations of dormitory life will be more beneficial to the younger ones. Homes Approved by Dean. A9 Edens Hall accommodates but a hiadred and twenty-five girls, and as yet there is no other dormitory, the Dean of Women approves of certain homes near the Normal where the rest of the girls may live. For these homes a set of rules have been formulated very similar to the rules in force at the Hall. Some of them are: Any student leaving a house or dormitory during the evening shall write her name, destination, and the time, in a book provided for the purpose. When she returns she shall mark the time in the book. This book is inspected at intervals by the Dean's office. Students are asked to retire at 10 p. m. on week and Sunday nights, and by twelve on week-end nights.. The night before a holiday is the same at:_a Week-end night. Special, permission to study later, or to attend other than school functions is in charge of the house mother, subject to some regulations. Office Finds Work for Those Who Need It. Positions for the girl who must work all or part of her way are found through the Dean of Women's office and are subject to her control. Bellingham is larger than the cities where most Normal schools and colleges are found and the opportunities for a person to work his or her. way are relatively greater. ' The men of the school are aided, and their housing regulated, by the offiee of the Dean of Men. Most . of the students who neither live in town nor work, eat at Edens Hall, though there are opportunities for either boarding or housekeeping elsewhere. More skulls are cracked yearly in automobile wrecks, than by thinking. ilillH^^B IIIHHHHBI Intra-MuralSports;-Pi^ 1 Part in Normal ^Ahletics At Bellingham ;' ALL HAVE CHANCE Coach Sam Carver Has Turned Out Many Championship Teams Lately: DRAMATIC NUMBERS SHOWN AT NORMAL (Continued from Page Two) sketches during the" winter quarter.

Its purpose is to' promote the interests and activities of all student clubs and to see that the clubs conform to the standards laid down by the Student Organization Council. This council also schedules the dates for the different club activities. The Council intends to publish a pamphlet giving the requirements for entrance, aims, and membership of the various clubs on the campus. This book will be ready for. the new students next fall. Despatches dealing with brigandage, civilwar, anti-foreignism, commercial propaganda, tariff reform, and all the ugly activities of foreign powers have ben displayed as a daily diet for our confused reading public, to the detriment of international decency, wholesome outlook on relations with our neighbors and an established equilibrium of that sentiment, and ultimate behavior. Thinking—what atrocious blunders are commited in thy name. CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LIBRARY MARKS FIRST STEP IN NORMAL'S BUILDING PLAN-OTHER PROJECTS TO FOLLOW New Gymnasium, Two Training School Buildings, Men's and Women's Dormitories, New Auditorium, Chimes Tower, Sylvan Theater, Additional Athletic Field, and Several NeW Tennis Courts Are Anticipated. With the construction of the new library now under way on the campus the first great step toward the realization of the twenty-five year plan which was made two years ago has been taken. The plan is becoming a thing of brick and-concrete and the people of the school and state are every day becoming more interested in it. The tennis courts which are being laid on High Street, are another visible result. At the next session of the legislature, says President Fisher, the school will begin working for a new gymnasium. That is the second big-step. After-that it is planned to erect the new buildings, unit by unit, as rapidly as funds will permit. Junior High Contemplated. A new and modern training school building will follow the gymnasium. This will include a Junior High School building. The lack of the Junior High School is keenly felt and it is hoped that it may be added in the next three or four years at the most. With the increasing student population it will become necessary to provide more accommodations and two dormitories, a men's and a women's will be asked for. A second athletic field will be built, and several more tennis courts. Other structures which are looked forward to are a spacious auditorium, a Chimes Tower, and a Sylvan Theater. Buildings to be Permanent. All the new units will be of permanent construction, designed with the aim of beauty and utility for many years to come. For the past year the gardener has been busy altering the campus so that it will fit the buildings which are to be put there in the future. The trees have been regrouped and new ones planted. As a result, no trees will hamper the view of the new library. New walks are to be laid this summer, and the .one to the library is planned and will be laid as soon as it is possible to do so without interfering with the library construction. Although still referred to as the twenty-five year plan, in the light of recent developments it is possible that the actual time of completion of the buildings and improvements included in it may be much sooner. (Continued From Page One) sity of Washington, and Dr. Brode, teacher of Animal Biology, is from Whitman College. Either of these courses grants thirteen credits for the nine weeks. The credits may be used as the freshman science requirement at the Normal. Students who have taken the classes are enthusiastic in praise of their usefulness. They claim that to a student who expects to go on in scientific work the study and association gained at Friday Harbor are invaluable. The session will begin June 20, this year, and will last for nine weeks. Probably no one is in favor of this modem mania of turning bad people into good people at a moment's notice. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCENIC TRIPS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED (Continued From Page Two) the North. The Sucia Islands are of interesting geological structure and are rich in fossils. They have been recently turned into fox farms and are not visited so much as formerly. Quaint Canadian City Wear One trip on the Sound leads to Victoria, a city which seems very quaint to the visitor from the States. It can be visited in a day and for five dollars although two days and ten dollars is more satisfactory. About sixty miles from Bellingham is Vancouver, a" Canadian city as modern as Victoria is old fashioned. It is rapidly becoming world famous for its parks. It is one of the most popular destinations of holiday autoists. The region described is about sixty miles square and contains enough points of interest to keep the average student busy for three hundred bright Sundays should he undertake to explore them all. FIELD WORK COURSE OFFERED AT NORMAL Sports and athletics play an important part in school life at the Bellingham Normal. Varsity teams represent the school in five major sports—football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis—and have established an enviable record among the minor colleges of Washington. Intramural sports play an important part in Viking athletics, thus giving any students who wish to play a chance to, even though they cannot give the time or energy necessary for the Varsity team. Last winter in the Intra-Mural Basketball;; League seven teams were entered, consisting of clubs and independent teams. Anyone attending the Bellingham Normal will' be given a chance to take part in some sport. During the spring quarter, Intradural tennis, horseshoes, and handball are featured. Vikings Rank High Under the able leadership of Sam Carver, Viking coach, high grade teams are turning out at the Normal every year. A year hardly goes by without annexing a few more trophies for high athletic accomplishments. Games are scheduled with Ellensburg and Cheney Normals, and also Avith other minor colleges of the state and the U. of W-'Frosh.' During this last school year, the Vikings were nosed out of the football title, but came back later to make pi-actically a clean sweep of basketball and at the present time it looks as if the baseball pennant Avas a cinch. The Vikings have a strong .tennis team to uphold the remarkable- record they "have- made in the net pastime and they seem to have about an even chance to cop the honors in track. They have won the Tri-Normal Track title for the past tAVo years, and hopes; are high that they will dp as.well oh Waldo field tomorrow. Athletic Facilities Good An excellent gridiron where the football games are played, a baseball diamond, and a track are located on Waldo Field adjacent to the school. The track is" a quarter mile, with a 220 yard straight away. There are tAvo temporary gymnasiums at the present time and the next appropriation asked Avill be for a hew one, an addition of great value to the institution. Three cement tennis courts are in use at the present time and three asphalt ones are soon to be completed. It is the aim of the school to provide recreation in the form of athletics for every student. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 May 20 Supplement - Page 4 ---------- ^^^^i^^SSiftlliSllS i Jlijtlifill llftf 5re^KEww§ftiRirsonS Enrolled^ at':.

Throughout the grades, which range from the kindergarten t o t he eighth, much attention is paid to the social development of t h e child. Beginning in t h e pre-priniary, training in citizenship is given in t he free activity and social science periods and i t is carried on i n to t he eighth in t h e form of community civics by t h e school service club. All t h e work is s t a r t e d with t he idea t h a t it will be carried further in the n e x t grade. This tends to give the children interest not only in their own work but in t h e work of every other grade in school, bringing about a very t r u e spirit of co-operation. 'The Junior Messenger," at t he close of each semester, is published by t h e 8th grade with the help of t he other grades. The work is done under the supervision of a Normal student teacher assisted by Miss Crawford, teacher of t h e eighth. Lower grades make contributions and collect the news for t h e reporter who is assigned t o them. The reporters are eighth grade children. The paper partakes of t h e n a t u r e of an annual, giving a history of t h e semester, t h e names of graduates, and having a space for signatures of friends, teachers and classmates. Assembly is Held . One hour each week all t h e grades of the t r a i n i n g school meet together for an assembly. lt; A g r e a t variety of entertainment is furnished, almost all of i t by t h e children themselves, and t h e r e s t by outside talent. Each grade, sometime during the year, puts on a play or some other form of entertainment. In these plaj's the children work out their own dramatizations, settings, and costumes, correlating the work, with their school subjects. Sometimes reports are given. Each grade tells the r e s t what it is doing in some special subject. Often the assembly hour is spent in listening to musical a r t i s t s and occasionally the hour is given over to group singing. Bellingham is a city of many industries, interesting history, and fascinating natural location. These facts are t a k e n advantage of in t he t r a i n i n g school by t r i p s which stimulate x ) 0 w e r s °f observation and intelligent interest in t h e life around them, and help t o develop a scientific a t t i t u d e . Once each year towards the end of the second semester a' d a y is set aside for play. On t h a t day the children all bring their lunches and eat on t h e campus. After lunch they spend a few hours in play. The children in t h e p r i m a r y grades play t he games they have enjoyed in their gymnasium work while the older children divide themselves into teams and play competitive games. The training school is looking forward, as indeed is t h e whole ^formal, t o the time when i t will be housed in separate buildings, large enough to hold many more students and w i th one of t h em equipped for Junior High school work. It is planned t o have two divisions of each grade, in sepa r a t e rooms, and to use one for observation and t h e other for practice teaching. Annual Girls' Field Day Will Be Held on Saturday, June Fourth Plans are being made for t h e annual Girls' Field Day which will be held this year on S a t u r d a y , J u n e 4th.

Two of them are t o be completed before the middle of J u n e when t h e summer quart e r will begin. The o t h e r is t o be built over a fill which must be allowed to settle before it is completed. They will be made of asphalt, one of t h e best available materials for tennis courts. It does not crack, as concrete does, provides a good surface, and is sufficiently resilient to be easy on t h e p l a y e r ' s feet. Bleachers to Be Made. Bleachers for t h e accommodation of spectators will be built on two sides of t h e court space. This will be appreciated by those who enjoy watching tournament and intercollegiate games. There will be about three times as much end space as there is on the present courts, making i t almost impossible for one player to slam t h e ball beyond his opponent's reach. The completion of these three courts will bring the number owned by t he Normal t o six, a s many as any school of t h e same size in t h e s t a t e .

XXVIII—NO. 24- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Christmas Party Put on by Board of Control .Today, is, the tenth anniversary lot ''Nornialite'% That is, it appeared for the first /time just ten weeks ago for the main ; purpose of bringing yon a few features of interest, unusualities, and .sidelights of what was happening on other.. Normal., and.. Teacher's College 'campuses in this country. But nothing happened! At least these publications fail to record them... All is news. Features are just not found anywhere in them. Little stories of close human interest gushing forth bright, crisp, and colored bits of life are missing in all Normal school newspapers.. ' Consequently it was necessary to draw from our bigger brothers, the gt; college and university papers. Fortunately even minor college journals of this state are humane, and present all sides of student life. Big college dailies do... And we certainly aim to. That then is the only reason that' you can expect to find more instances of college features than those relating to Normal schools. Gavel and Pulpit Club Downed in Semi-finals or Intramural Debate by Vanadis Bragi Club. VANADIS BRAGI NEGATIVE Committee of Judges Choose the Best Speakers to Represent in Intercollegiate Contest. -W. S. N. S.- What does the average college man or woman want for Christmas? This was one test question that was easily answered by scores of dorm co-eds an dmen at the Washington State College just the v other day. From their lists, silk stockings ranked first, of course, with jewelry running a close second. Memory books and diaries were . other favorite requests, as were books, stationery, perfume and silk underwear. The only unusual requests were for a washrag, soap, French doll, a teapot, flashlight and candy boxes. One co-ed (gold-digger?) demanded a gold piece; and, one distinctly stated "NOT CANDY." The ideal wish of the boys of the school Was an automo- ' bile, but they know they will get their conventional handout of socks, ties, and handkerchiefs. — — W . S. N. S. — .." ONE EDUCATOR SAYS INSTITUTIONS OP HIGHER LEARNING DONT MAKE SPINSTERS OF WOMEN. ; COLLEGE EDUCATION IS NOT BESPONSIBLE FOR WOMEN MARRYING LATER IN LIFE OR NOT AT ALL, AS MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE, IS THE OPINION OF I)R. ESTHER CAULKIN, INTERNATIONAL SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN. : "IF WOMEN ARE MARRYING LATER IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF COLLEGE TRAINING BUT BECAUSE OF OTHER FACTORS, ECONOMIC, AND VARIOUS OTHER CAUSES WHICH ARE INFLUr ENCING NOT ONLY WOMEN BUT EVERYBODY," SAYS DR. CAULKIN. W. S. N. S . —— Hey-deys of college. , athletics, when the brawny men had to be coached through their studies and professors had to be inveighled into handing out passing grades, seem to be gone. That out of all the six-week notices of poor work recently sent out by the registrar's office at the University of Washington, not one was addressed to any man turning out f6r freshman or. varsity sports, was the unprecedented fact brought to Ught by Earl Campbell,., graduate manager, there. V W. S. N. S.- Georgia Tech is getting ready to send its champ eleven over to Rose Bowl in Pasadena to settle the annual East-West supremacy in football, to be played New Year's. W. S. N. S Our friends across the Pacific pond were finally beaten last Saturday when they were outsmarted by the University of Denver, 13 to 12. These powerful Hawaiians won over the Los Angeles Occidental College, a week ago and are looking forward to their battle with the crack squad of the University of Oregon gt; slated for Christmas Day at Honolulu. Monday evening at 7 o'clock in room 119, the Vanadis Bragi defeated the Gavel and Pulpit club in the semi-finals of the intra mural debates. The Vanadis Bragi, upholding the negative side of the question. Resolved "That a Constitutional Amendement be adopted giving our Congress exclusive power to regulate marriage and divorce in the United States." marked the fourth win for that side as against none for the affirmative. The Vanadis Bragi's team was composed of Wallace Gruwell, Lyle Summers and Curtis Bell who were opposed by Oren Tarbox, Ethel Hendricks and Philip Davis from the Debate club. In the second week in the next quarter the finals of the interclub debates will be held. The Vanadis Bragi will meet the independent team composed of Robert Cooper. Arthur Cram and Stanley Craft. An attempt will be made to have the finals take place in the assembly as a program. If this is not possible they will be held some evening in the auditorium. Judges Choose. A committee of all-school judges composed of Miss Nora . Cummins, Miss Alma Madden and Mr. Herbert E. Fowler picked from those who participated in the debates the best speakers who would represent the Normal in intercollegiate competition. The members of all school team was chosen without regard to whether .they participated in more than one debate or their team won. They were judged upon quality of delivery, and style and manner of presentation of material. The following who were chosen to serve on the team either as regulars or alter-team were chosen without regard to ranking of the judges: Rose Brown; Lyle Summers; Stanley Craft; Arthur Cram; Helen Fitzwater; Ethel Hendricks^ Frieda Massey; Edith Dyer; Robert Cooper and Curtis Bell. Miss Alma Madden, sponsor of this activity, declares that its results have been'extremely successful. . Much good material has been discovered and developed that will be' available and' useful in school debates. Debate U. of W. Frosh. The first debate that has been scheduled is one with the University of Washington freshmen which will take place here March 5. The question the men will debate is: Resolved: "That trial by jury of twelve men be abolished and trial by three judges be substituted." The girls will debate at a later date on ;the question: Resolved: "That a plea of temporary insanity in defense of crime be prohibited." • A real Christmas party was put on by the Board of Control last 1 Wednesday night for the school at large, beginning at Y:30 in the auditorium: with a program and presents from Santa Claus, and ending in an hour of dancing in the big gym. This Christmas party is an annual affair in Normal school and in fact, has become a tradition. Jean Marquis who was general chairman of the party, prepared a unique entertainment which took place during the first hour of the affair. This program included the singing of Christmas songs in which everybody took part; selections from Dickens' "Christmas Cardl" by Victor H. Hoppe; "The First Noel" and "Christmas Time is Coming"; by the- Kitchen Krew quartet; and the distribution of • gifts by Santa Claus (BUI Mock). Stark's orchestra furnished the music for the hour of dancing, which took the place of the last *rec" hour of the quarter. The party closed at 10:15 and the students and faculty left for home joyfully laden with gifts. o SMITH IS LEADER Ambitious -. program Is Presented by Bellingham - Kittle Symphony; Directing- Is Very Finished.

L AT F Edens Hall Sophomores Establish Christmas Tradition of Caroling; Freshmen Get Breakfast. „ A chorus of sixty high, sweet voices rang out in the cold, clear morning air. Sixty earnest young faces were reflected dimly in the soft, flickering light of the candles, Christmas Caroling. Sunday morning at five o'clock the Sophomore girls of Edens Hall, each carrying a tall, red candle, and singing Christmas Carols, singing earnestly and joyously, filed slowly through the silent halls of the dormitory. The home of President C. H. Fisher was the first visit. From there the,girls went to the homes of all the faculty members on the hill, winding their way along the streets of Garden and Forest, joining in groups beneath windows and singing the beautiful Christmas Carols of all times. This picturesque and stately little group was often pleasantly greeted with the sight of candles burning in the windows as a request for the return of the singers. At eight o'clock the trail of song was again caught at Edens Hall and the carolers returned to be greeted by a delicious, hot breakfast served by the Freshman girls. The tables were delightfully arranged with streamers of red and green, Santa Clauses and tiny Christmas trees, all glowing in the soft candle light. The waitresses were pert in their little French caps and ruffled aprons. Santa distributed gifts with a lavish hand and there was much excitement, confusion and happiness. The guests of the morning were: Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Adele The Bellingham Little Symphony orchestra made its debut before a vast audience of appreciative listeners last Tuesday night, December 18, in the First Christian church. Although the program presented was an ambitious one, it was superbly done and is certainly a high compliment to the directing of Harold B. Smith, chairman of the music department of the Bellingham Normal school. Judging from this first appearance of the Bellingham Little Symphony, a brilliant future may easily be predicted. Selections Enjoyed. The numbers rendered by the vocalists, G. Donald Gray, baritone and Sidney Dixon, tenor, both of Seattle drew great applause from the audience. The closing number of the program was Edward Elgar's martial composition, "Pomp and Circumstance" which is always a favorite in any audience. "Pierrot" and "Pierrette" by Hadley were also pronounced quite bewitching by general opinion. o EXECUTIVES STAY Chichester, Appleton, and Arnett Reappointed; Application Must be Made for New Board Member.

When our gifts to the needy make such a huge pile? We stop to wonder and linger awhile— In our hurry. No more the gay tree behind a drawn curtain, We trim them and put them outside to be certain, Sad eyes will brighten and smile just because His Birth touched our hearts and made us pause— In our hurry. H E A T A Normal school, above all others, should have more perfect conditions to work under than other institutions. It should be a model of its lund to the students training to be teachers, because it is there that they get their most vivid impressions of the correct procedure in the school room, where they will later teach and carry out the ideas with which they Have been indoctrinated. A child, we are taught in Psychology, will follow the examples set by its elders. - Psychologists have determined by many thorough tests that the best temperature conducive to the most vigorous mental effort and stimulus is about 6 8 degrees Fahrenheit. Combined with this there should be a steady influx of fresh air of even temperature. Many of the rooms in this building are frigidly cold for eight o'clock classes while in the after-noon the same room is oppressively hot. Often students try to regulate the temperature by opening windows but this simply is irregular and very unsatisfactory. - W i t h a little attention to the matter by the school authorities and the co-operation of he janiors much of his evil could be remedied and he students given more wholesome and healthy atmosphere in which to work.* — P . L. H . W O R K P R O G R AM Dr. Frank Crane, world famed journalist and educator who died recently left an article that should be of interest to psychologists and students, on efficiency of the functioning of the brain at different periods of the day. ' - ;, He says that from eight to twelve o'clock in the forenoon the highest efficiency of the day is reached.

Glenn Frank asks some pertinent questions which ought to apply to college students who are always on the rim, trying to get something done in a J a s t minute rush, either cramming for that exam next hour or desperately burning the "midnight oil" preparing a term theme that is due next morning. • ^ Frank says that no one's life is so well-ordered that there is no lost -time or wasted*energy^ Procrastination has been truly said to be the ;^'Thief; o f Time." %v W e can all save time by being more efficient in our methods of study, organization, and analysis of tasks to be accomplished during the day. ^ F r a n k l i n said: "Save time, for that is what life is made up of." n;^- lt;'•:.;V;,•:'I/;^•'V:•' _p.L.H. • SAY GIRLS! —some of the young catches around school have asked me to remind you that there are but 10 days left in this Leap Year.

Bob sped toward the library where a meeting would surely take place. * Ah! through the semi-fog loomed an individual, perfectly dressed in dark suit, o'coat, and derby. Gloves, spats, a cane—surely we re living in a great age. Rushing forward, the peer of journalists (his mother still reads his stuff) slapped the exaulted visitor on his -right shoulder and smiled "Howdy, Guv!" Can you imagine the chagrin, the absolutely flushed feeling when this person turned out to be Bob Bick-ford just getting home from a par-chesi game of the previous evening? Undaunted, "Hard Lines" Robert dashed to the building of catalogued knowledge, reached for the handle of one of those thousand dollar doors and—ye gods! there was Dean Edmundson playing 'peek'. —and Roy Arnett was not in his shirt sleeves. Truly it was an occasion, this memorable day. Well, up to the main reading room went "H. L." Robert—there to await the great moment. Passed the time until 'most ten o'clock—Robert had waited as long as he could—he HAD to attend this class. Passing up this opportunity of a decade—a tete-a-tete (obs.) with* a governor, he raced back to the main building. A congested hall impeded rapid progress but the Smiler bowled (at least 250) through a cluster- of forms (no! I should not have said figur.es) and started up t he stairs as the last bell rang. Glancing back, he noticed a small man scooping himself up from the floor—it was the Governor! —and all that needs to be added is that Roland met Robert —unofficially The "Red Arrow", this school's only literary magazines,'. made its appearance on the main : landing Wednesday noon, Dec. 19.

Among the contributors, Arthur Kolstad and Pelagius Williams, two members of the faculty, will be found. Mr,. Kolstad has written a poem "Wandering Thoughts," and' a number Of book preferences are listed. The magazine is, on a'whole, a credit to the staff composed -of Jane L'- Eveque, editor, Dorothy Strong, Business manager, and Marion Snider, circulation manager.

Henry Holt and 'jpo.:, New York, 1928. From the mouth of a Frenchman we have this story, spiced with the flavor of the. Orient. , The story is that of the life of Prince Joli, who has by the previous arrangement of his parents married twice before he is thirty. He meets and falls in love with an American girl, Rosemary, who loves him. — The struggle between the old t r a ditions of the East and the new beliefs of the West takes place in this young prince. He learns a million hew things in a; day; dazzling things that "belong to Western" ideas and thoughts/His heritage is thrown into the background and he is caught by t he entanglements of these revolting thoughts. But finally he finds that he must mold the two ideas into a new knowledge, new ideals and ambitions of his own. We find a beautiful but simple picture of Buddhism in Siam and Paul Morand has captured in a remarkahle fashion the mystery of the Orient.

The local team made a most remarkable showing, winning each of the three games played by large margins and garnering a total of 2911 pins for the evening. The team plays another series of games this evening with the Spike- Nash Motor Company.

It is interesting to note that several of the girls were placed on more than one team. MEN'S CLUB BEAT KITCHEN KREW 29-16 The intramurlal championship seems to be headed for one team. The Men's club has won two straight games and are sitting on top of the ladder. What is more singular, they are very' apt to stay right on top o fthe ladder for t he balance of the season. Their second ' win came last Thursday when the Men's club locked horns with the strong Kitchen Krew, runners up for the intramural title last season. Gather led the attack on the Krew with 10 points chalked up after his name. While for the Krew, Johnson and Moe tied for high point honors with five points apiece. , The intramural games are being played in the little gymnasium every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at four o'clock. These games are of much interest to the school and help to develop new material for the Viking teams. The score last Thursday: Men's Club 29, Kitchen Krew 16. o According to the estimates made by the National Broadcasting company recently, there will be on January f, 1929, 11,032,855 receiving sets in the United States, of which four-fifths will be in operation any night when the static is not too bad. A recent calculation made by Dr. Daniel Starch shows that approximately 41,453,496 people listen in. For the purchase of automobiles we pay out $4,000,000,000 annually, or more than $33 for every man, woman and child. Hurray! Hurrah! The quarter is ended. This is the last time for ten days that we have to worry about this column There are times when even a columnist is, entitled to a vacation. • ' ** * * * - • Anyway we welcome this, vacation so our mental facilities (?) can recuperate. Also to give the teams and players a chance to recover from our scathing comment. #* * .** As we look over the quarter's athletic activities, we wonder what there has been to write about. Surely not wonderful successes and glorious victories. . We cannot claim to be entirely successful, but we have achieved the "moral victories," and that is something. ***** AND STILL" T H E VIKING TEAMS RIDE TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THEIR FOES. ** * ** The Supers may have lost a game, but they are still at the top of the ladder. Last week they scored another triumph that serves to keep them up in the top rung of the Class A ladder. ** * ** The Supers are playing great ball. All they need to do is to keep up the good work. ** * ** But who under the sun is going to stop the Junior Varsity? They pulled another victory last Friday night. This winning seems to be a habit. * * * ** The word "lose," just seems to be a minus quantity in the vocabulary of the J . V . s . Maybe it is but we think that if the junior team was pitted a-gainst the Supers, there would be a sad tale to tell. Sad for t h e J. Vs. ' * » * • * ' . • ' • • ' . Anyway pur sympathies favor the Supers. . Theirs is the harder row to hoe. -Their competition is keener. ** * ** The winter sports program has just, been announced for the women, all/women are urged, to participate. "A program for ALL girls" is the slogan. ***** A LITTLE FARTHER ON THE SCHEDULE LIMITS THE WOMAN'S .CHOICE TO TWO SPORTS. ** * ** One would almost think that this is a boy's school, and t h a t the women are in minority. i *» * ** So far this year we have been unable to find one sport for each woman, let alone finding two.. What is it that makes the women see double? , ** * ** Anyway, athletics are the thing, not that we worry about what the women find for entertainment. ** * ** The Junior Vikings got off to a bad start last week when they lost to the Roeder school in the opening of the city grade basket league. ***** Now after a three month string of commentary on sports, we are going to rest a while, and let you rest a while, and bid you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR,—Ham. A Study In Black and White of a Typical Crowd at a Basketball Game President Coolidge and King Alfonso of Spain, exchanged greetings over a new telephone connection that links Washington, D. C. and New York with Madrid. This will help to stimulate a friendly; tense, becomes silent. It holds it? The crowd straggle in by two's and three's, and sometimes, in single units, until the big gym is full of laughing, shouting, and joking basketball fans. The room is filled with a continuous roar. The roar increases to a shout. The home team comes onto the floor. They warm up by going in a circle and shooting baskets. Shrill yells penetrate the deeper rubmle. Here and there an exclamation calls attention to some noteworthy shot of a home player. Now come the visitors. A shout of welcome goes up. Is is much shorter than the first shout. The visitors warm up for a few minutes. Then a shrill whistle sounds. The two teams take their appoint ed positions. The crowd grows feeling between the two countries.

Then one half of the crowd, that is fast growing into a mob, gives a joyous shout, while the other half groans in dismay as the I favored centers get or lose the tip- I off. The great group of people that are there to see t he big game soon become divided into two opposing factions that would readily tear at each other's throats. The referee calsl a foul on one team. Half of che mob in the gallery hisses and booes the official. They tell him more about his past, -present, and future history than he thought existed. They read his fortune in such a way as to make that individual smile to himself. On the other hand the supporters of the ; other team'are loud in their praise of the official. They show in ho ' uncertain terms that they approved I of the way in which the game is being run. J Soon the referee calls a foul on the other team. The conditions are reversed.

Philippi, the bachelor; Georgia Gfagg, the old maid, and Herbert Ruckmick, the office boy who shifts all his work on Miss Leanard in the cast, the play promises to be a success. The cast for the "Playgoers" includes L. A. Kibbe, Arthur Kolstad, Grace Moore, Orpha McPherson, Marjorie Dawson, Hilda Rosene, Alma Madden and Ruth Strickland. The pirate dance which the W. A. A. advisors, Kathleen Skalley, Grace Sullivan and Helen Dozier are staging, and valentines which come to life, are some additional features to be presented. The W. A.

SOUTH AMERICAN LECTURER TALKS Edward Tomlinson gave an inspiring lecture, cleverly interspersed with select bits of humor, in last Tuesday's assembly, in a talk on the subject "Under "Ten Flags in South America." Mr. Tomlinson acquainted his audience with the extremely fascinating countries of South America. He presented an entirely new picture of these countries, giving statistics as to their size, resources and progress. According to Mr. Tomlinson, the lone country of Brazil is larger than the United States plus another Texas, and even the smallest country, Uruguay, is as large as all the New England states put together. Largest Gold Reserve In speaking of the great natural resources in South America, he said that Uruguay has the largest'gold reserve per capita in the world. He spoke of Brazil's great forests which would yield enough lumber to supply the whole world for la quarter of a century.

VIOLINIST 10 APPEAR First of Four Lectures on Forestry Booked for Tuesday; Emily Dow Coming Friday. Hugo Winkenwerder, former dean of the forestry department of the University of Washington, and Emily Bentley Dow, violinist, are dated to appear in the assemblies of next Tuesday and Friday respectively. "Forestry in the Public Schools" is the topic of Mr. Winkenwerder's address, and is the first of a series of four, lectures on forestry to be delivered at the Bellingham Normal in the near future. He is an interesting speaker and has collected a wealth of remarkable material on his subject. Until recently he was connected with the University of Washington, but he has left the staff for broader fields. Violinist Is Noted Emily Bentley Dow, who is a pupil of Madame Davenport-Engberg, is a noted violinist in her own right. She has won the prize offered by the National Federation of Music clubs three years' ago, being the second northwestern girl to acquire this honor, as Catherine Wade- Smith won it a year before. She is an unusualy brilliant young violin ist and a great future has been pre Tickets for the Moroni Olsen play "Autumn Fire," will go on sale Wednesday 13, at the Co-op. "Autumn Fire," an Irish folk tragedy by T. C. Murray, is to be presented by the Moroni Olsen players on Tuesday, February 19, at 8:15 in the auditorium. These players opened their season here in November with "Expressing Willie," an American comedy by Rachel Croth-ers. Irish in setting and flavor, "Autumn Fire" has the charming quality of Irish dialect as one of its chief attractions. Janet Young, one of the founders of the company, visited Ireland recently to study the dialect in its natural setting. Olsen Plays Lead Owen Keegan, the Irish farmer, around whom the play develops, is a character that might have been written with Moroni Olsen in mind Keegan, a man of great strength, is a true product of the Irish soil, who excels even in his late middle age in feats of strength, skill and leadership. When Nance Desmond, vivid and fascinating, returns to the country village it is Owen Keegan, dominating and self-confident, who woos and wins her, disregarding his spinster daughter's jealous fears and ignoring the fact that Michael, his son, is a rival for the love of Nance. Fate finally breaks the autumnal vigor of middle age and Owen Kee-gan's tower of strength fails him. When the curtain falls, the broken old man is mumbling by the hearth fire in the wreck of his own life and the lives of his young wife and children. Byron Kay Foulger, who directed the company's presentation of "Expressing Willie" and "Anna Christie," will also direct the production of "Autumn Fire."

Figure-loving psychologists apply the ever-ready yardstick and express their results in figures, symbols or words. I n one of the education courses here the assumption was expressed that a correlation existed between ability to breath deeply, and achievement in school work. Some research worker or other, working on the principle of lung versus mental gymnastics, discovered t h e . startling fact that wherever there was superior lung capacity, there, also, was the achievement -higher. No correlations had, however, been worked out between, let us say, superior tonsils and the ability to locate mixed metaphors. All this is very encouraging.

In fact we are assured that thej gt;aby is ot have a brand new suit of clothes. An issue designated as a "Whoopee Number," containing everything that can appropriately be included under that appelation, and" a few bright ribbons added, is to be published. While at first blush this may appear a somewhat frivolous venture for a group of serious embryo teachers, it has its obvious advantages. However, the magazine will not be devoted entirely to making "Whoopee." There will be enough variety for all, even to a lusty slice of Tennyson and Browning. We're all in favor of a "Whoopee" Red Arrow.

BOOK REVIEW ETCHED IN MOONLIGHT. By James Stephens. Published by Mac- Millan Co. New York (1928). This book cannot be judged by its poetic title, for it is the collection of the most gruesome, morbid fragments of so-called "realism" that have been received for a long time. This realism has been affected by numerous modern writers, and perhaps a. certain amount of it is an interesting change from these namby- pamby love stories or lurid sex stuff that is being turned out constantly from the publisher's house. James Stephens goes too far with his gloom. After reading "Etched in Moonlight," one almost feels obliged to turn to the "Glad Book" for an antidote. I t is to be regretted that such books as these are to be had on the market, for some temperaments are far too nervous to read this type of literature without mental injury. After reading these stories, one is impressed, with the same uneasy feeling that is the after effect of a nightmare. Indeed, even the style of the stories is disconnected and dreamlike, and casts a shadow that one cannot shrug away.

Of course, I realize that it is warmer and one has more freedom than in the general reading room. But, I pray, implore and beseech you all to leave the reserve room for those of us who are taking news-writing, history, English, and above all, science: that is, leave it for those poor students who have to read books on reserve. All vancancies will be grate- \y appreciated. —G. W. Library System Is Subject of Opinion j \ We have a new library that is built to accommodate a greater number of students than are now enrolled in.this institution. But already the reserve book room is filled almost all the time and sometimes crowded to overflowing. At the same time upstairs in the main reading room only one or two tables may be filled. When the building was planned it was believed that adequate room was provided for students who were going to study the texts put on the reserve shelf by the members of the faculty. No doubt the plans of the room have been made with sufficient size to accommodate the students who need to use t he room. The crowded condition results mainly from students who drop in to study who do not intend to draw out any books, but just study their own texts. These students seem to be very weary by the time they arrive at the library and are too tired to climb the stairs to the main reading room where they should study. A little attention to this matter, students, would preserve the intended purpose of the reserve book room, a place for study of reserve books only. Clock Location A matter that may be ,well brought up from the standpoint of practicability is the location of t he clock in the main reading room. As it was originally planned and carried out, the clock was situated where it is now over the door. This was done to carry out the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 February 8 - Page 3 ---------- Another win and another loss are chalked up against the Vikings this week. After a successful road trip, the Vikings returned home to play the Frosh. This mix resulted disastrously for the home team. * * * * " Thorsen and Clarke were the shining lights for the Vikings in the Frosh game. • .• * * * * ' Below we see Clarke blocking a Frosh attempt to score on t he Vikings. Thorsen may be seen looking on in readiness to lend his assistance, should his teammate need 'help; ^ v The victory scored over Cheney last Monday was singular in that the Savages could not shoot, and the Vikings could not get their passes to go where they were intended to go. Had the Viking offense worked as it should, there would have been no difficulty in picking the Vikings as the winners long before the contest was over. Anyway, we must content ourselves with the fact that We won the game. The next big task and perhaps the largest of all of the jobs this season, is to defeat the Wild Cats' tomorrow night. BIOGRAPHY The renowned "Swede" Anderson has been nominated for t he observation bench under the biographer's pen. The "Swede," even for all his weii known liking for the great Spanish sport, is really a good sort of fellow at heart. He started his career as an athlete at the local institution known as Whatcom high school. Not too much is known about his prep record, except that he was one of the mainstays of the Whatcom football line several years ago; From high school "Swede" went to t he University of Washington, where he won his spurs on the Freshman football squad in 1924.. The following season he came up to his home town and entered the Normal school. Here he has played four seasons of football and has taken part in Jayvee and Super basketball. "Swede" is now'with the Viking quintet for his second season. His ability to play any position on the team makes him a very valuable man to have around. The coaches can send him into the game at center, guard or forward and feel. that the position will be well handled. Though he doesn't very often break into the line-up, "Swede" is out and hustling for his team all the time. * * * * GENERAL TOPICS Grover Brown, former student here, is at the present time light-heavyweight boxing champion at the state college in Pullman. * * * * Intramural wrestling has become of real significance at the University of Washington. The University of California athletes have taken to hockey. The three-game series between the U. of Cal. and the U. of Southern Cal. will be the first intercollegiate hockey ever staged on the Pacific Coast. Now we will have something else to absorb our attention. "Zeke" is one of the shining lights of the Vik:ng scuai this season. He will be se •:n in action tomorrow, night. Outraged Basketball Airs Some Painful Details of Its Existence As seen from the eyes of the basketball, this is a funny old world. This may be readily guessed from the following story that is told to us by a basketball: "How would you like to be slap-cheeks. The back of my head maker a timely connection with the floor Another fellow takes hold of me. ] am sent spinning high up in the air. Spinning so fast that it make me dizzy. Then a swish—rip! Anc' ped in the face, or have your head off comes one of my ears. A bif pounded against the floor? Or how net t h a t looks like a basket is re-would you like to have some big sponsible for this catastrophe. Bu' brute pick you up bodily and throw still these big rough and ready fel-you around the room as if you were lows continue to treat me like 2 nothing but a piece of waste paper? scrap of paper. Oof! That nearly Or kick you like a football? "Yet these and many other thingr are just everyday occurrence s in my life. Smack! Somebody slaps my face. A sudden stop. A start in the other direction. I bump the floor. My nose is bruised. Someone grabs me and turns and throws me' at someone else. I travel so fast that my cheeks are burned by the friction of the air on my face. The other fellow missed me and I still speed onward. Somebody else takes a swing at me. I duck. Then right in front of me I see a pretty face. Bed lips. Pink cheeks. A white throat. A frightened expression on the pretty face. Then my eyes look toward the floor, for I feel myself falling. I see a brown sports sweater. Then a white sports dress. Pretty silk-clad legs. Dimpled knees partially covered by t h e white dress. Then—bump! For my keen observation I have been awarded a very pretty black eye. This was received on "the point of one of those pretty dimpled knees. Then a whistle blows. The referee takes me from the hands of t h e pretty girl. Offers me to a player. Then I begin a process of getting further acquaint- | e d with the floor. Something hew ;this time! A ^ floored me for good. Someone thought he was still on the football field and tried to score a knockout by lifting me into the air with his toe. The only result of that encounter was a broken jaw. But I am getting used to those things by now. My face is slapped. My jaw is kicked and broken. Of ears, 15 have but one. My nose gt;is all out of shape. My eyebrows are singed from speeding through the air of the room. My head is as barren of vegetation as the Sahara desert. My eyes are swollen shut and are black and blue. But these brutes still make me go through my paces. I am bounced and thrown, kicked and rolled, and a score of other things that any civilized white person wouldn't even think of doing are done to me. That is because I am a mere basketball." Such is the life led by the poor misused basketball. And after we are through using it because of its becoming old and worn, we throw it out of our lockers and let i t lie unattended and alone to decay and fall apart. So why shouldn't the basketball think.1 this is a funny world?' •..;•;,•.'. ' •;;•'•:':•';vv •..••': ^ B . H. CHENEY DEFEATED BY VIKING QUINTET The Carver Men Rallied in the Closing Minutes and Took the Cheney Savages into Camp 30-20. ... 3 •. 2 Men's Club 1 Thespians 0 Vanadis Bragi 0 • 0 Rough! And How! But the Vikings cleaned up on the Savages and sent theni back to Cheney with a 30-20 defeat, in a game played on the Fairhaven floor Monday night. This is the second trouncing administered to the Cheney basket-eers by Coach Carver's men, and gives the Vikings a fighting chance at the Tri-Normal championship if they can defeat the strong Ellens-burg quintet here Saturday evening. The Viking squad was off color are: ' from the very first, and played rag- I ged basketball. They were unable to • Kitchen Krew show the smooth, clean-cut pass- j Co-op ing and shooting, which was so marked in their other performances, and consequently with just 3 minutes remaining in the first half the score was 8-3 in favor of the Cheney quintet At this point, Coach Carver sent in Dixon for Thorsen at center, and moved Thorsen back to his old post at guard. This combination was the spark needed and at the half the score stood 11-11. Vikings Lead Second Half The Vikings broke through in the second half and out-scored the easterners by 10 points. With Odell leading his team with five field baskets, and McClurken and Dixon playing good ball the Vikings looked like a new team. Clark and Thorsen checked well and the. Savages were held to 9 points while the Bellingham squad connected for 19. The game was very rough, with three Cheney men being "benched" because of personal fouls. With the Ellensburg game coming off tomorrow evening, and all of Ihis "slop-oy" playing out of their system, the 7iking squad will be out to give the Ullensburg five a good figlu in the •ace for championship honors., Two, games were dished up to ui-ramural basketball fans this week vhen the Men's club trounced the Thespian club 33-17 in Monday's affair, and Wednesday when the Sitcnen Krew took the Vanadis 3ragi into camp to t he tune of 27- 17. Both games were well played, with ihe.usual rough tactics missing. Close calling of fouls by Referee Hamilton caused many try-for-ooint shots but all were of the "close-kind" and did not slow up the game to any marked extent. Passing Looks Good Wednesday's tilt brought out fast and accurate passing by the Kitchen Krew. All the men worked well together and the result was a fast moving combination. Lamphere, guard of the Krew men, trotted off with high point honors with 12 tallies. - Although not scoring his usual number of points, Hamilton, flashy forward of, t he Clubmen, played a bang-up game with his fast dribbling, and floor work. Next week the Co-ops meets t he Kitchen Krew!in Monday's tilt and the Vanadis Bragi meets the Thespian five Wednesday. The Monday evening game will decide the tie for high honors, while Wednesday will settle who is going to occupy the cellar. Standing after this weeks' games "Occie" THORSEN, "Occie" is rated as one of the best Guards in the Tri-Normal circle.

At least it will be brought into the national spotlight next November when Coach Knute K. Rockne's Notre Dame eleven meets Coach O. M. Solem's Drake University, Missouri Valley eleven at Soldier's Field, Chicago, which: all of us r e member as being the scene.of the Dempsey-Tunney fight. It will be Chicago!s first night game of football. There will be brilliant pyrotechnics. There will be spectacular devices never before thought of in connection with a gridiron contest. Just imagine the team on defense trying to solve the mysteries of the hidden ball at night. It is hard enough to follow the ball in bright daylight. So Chicago is expected to turn out to the tune of one hundred thousand spectators to view this battle. Two other Missouri Valley conference schools are considering nocturnal equipment for the 1929 season, and i t won't be long before night football will become popular.

This contest is sponsored nationally by the educational committee of the League of Nations association. According to a letter Miss Nora B. Ctonmins has received from Helen Clarkson Miller, chairman of that committee, the first prize will be a trip to Europe, featuring a stay in Geneva, Switzerland, to attend the sessions of the Tenth Assembly of the League of Nations, and the meetings of the World Federation of Education associations. Second and third prizes will also be offered, and, in addition, there may be local and state prizes. Competition is limited to Normal schools, so the Bellingham Normal has a real chance to be in the money. It will be recalled that Neil Miller won a national chemical essay contest; perhaps we have somebody who can do as well in the field of political science. Everyone a Chance Through the courtesy of the Social Science Department, everybody in school will have a chance to take the preliminary test. It will be given on Monday, February 18, in all Social Science classes that meet that day, and on Tuesday, February 19, in the other Social Science classes. Students who wish to take the test, but who are not taking any Social Science, may take the test in Social Science class by getting the permission of the instructor. If that is not convenient, he may take the test at four o'clock on Monday, or may make arrangements with Miss Cummins. The purpose of offering the preliminary test to everybody is for the \ interest of finding out what a stu- j dent body knows about the League i of Nations. A bibliography and a chart of the grades will be posted hi I Room 108. Available books will be on the reserve shelf. After the pre- • liminary examination there will be further selection to get the two papers that are to be sent in to the League of Nations association headquarters in New York to be judged. The method of this selection will be announced later. A high school contest of a similar nature is being run off at the same time. I. B. C. Sponsors Contest The decision to sponsor this contest in the school was made at a meeting of the International Relations club meeting held January 30, and a committee was appointed to take care of the matter, consisting of Miss Cummins, Katherine Fra-nette and Phil Davis. Some very illustrious names are found . on the letterhead of the League of Nations Non-Partisan association. George W. Wickersham. its president, was attorney-general under Taft. John H. Clarke, honorary president, is a member of the Supreme Court. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, is vice president of the board. Stephen P. Duggan is a leader in the field of political science. Raymond B. Fosdick is a New York lawyer, and formerly served as a secretary of the League of Nations. Manley O .Hudson is a professor at Harvard University. The last three are members of the Educational committee of the League of Nations Non-Partisan association. o Miss Adele Jones, Dean of Women, spoke at the Girls' club assembly of Whatcom high school on Tuesday, February 5. Her object was to give the girls an idea of how they might know what their future was to be by their oresent thoughts, actions and ambitions. She began by telling them that from their earliest childhood they had been interested in having their futures told by a crystal, cards, palm and other means of chance. From this she branched over to telling the future by careful plans and forethought. o DEAN OF WOMEN TO ATTEND CONFERENCE Weather Man Is Subject pf General Talk Miss Eslie Wendiing New Supervisor Here National Conference of the Deans of Women Held at Ohio; She Will Visit Isles of Georgian Coast Miss Adele Jones is leaving on Saturday, "February 16 to attend the National Conference of the Deans of Women at the Hotel Statler, Cleveland, Ohio. Every two years a conference is held on the west coast for all states west of the Rocky mountains. Miss Jones attended the conference in Los Angeles four years ago and the one in Seattle two years ago. Holiday at St. Simon's Miss Jones is having her holiday at this time and will spend several days with friends and relatives in Dayton, Ohio, her former home. From there she will go to Saint Simon's and Saint Sapeloe islands. Her cousin, Alfred Hones, is president of "The Cloister," a new recreational resort that is being developed on Saint Simons island five miles off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. The Cloister provides for a 60,000 acre private hunting preserve and also offers the richest of fishing grounds, riding, swimming, tennis, golf and motoring. The ten days that she will spend there promise a very enjoyable holiday. Miss Jones will return March 15. • o Girls Visit in Seattle Helen Sheckles, Alice Babcock and Margaret Hill spent the week end at their homes in Seattle. Rather interesting is the decided attention which mankind in general pays to the weather. As has often been said, "If you.can think of nothing else to talk about, the weather is always there." A good, old standby! There are the old, vastly old, time-worn phrases used every time there is a change of temperature. "Well, how do you like this?" "Wasn't as bad as this last year." "Back in '18 we had a terror. This is nothing compared to that." '"Bout froze up this morning Joe?" "They say somethni' like this last, a couple of weeks anyhow." "My gosh, ain't coal high?? Ear-muffs Come in Again Amazing, too, is the way people can adapt themselves to changes. In hardly any time at all after the cold north wind swept the land, galoshes, boots, wool socks, sweaters, gloves, mittens, mufflers, stocking caps and all those things that make freezing weather more easily dealt with, came back into use. Though all swear that it is the coldest that it has ever been and that you couldn't drag them out into this weather unless it was absolutely necessary, we nave noticed that the art of sleighing has not been neglected, and shii tracks are seen all over the campus and anywhere else that there is any excuse for the sport at all. Abandoned snow forts left on the white.field of battle leave a history behind them. The unsightly red noses, persistent use of handkerchiefs, cold fingers and frozen toes are all a part of the cold north wind's 'program and the bleak challenge has been gamely met and we believe, so far, we have all stood the test. o EDENS HALL— Hostesses at Waffle Party Ann Fillinger and Edith Phil-brick were hostesses Friday evening, February 1, to seven couples at a waffle party in the drawing room at Edens Hall. The guests.also enjoyed cards and dancing. Those present were Margaret Linde, Dorothy Halbert, Dorothy Gibson, Ruth Steele, Margaret Lee, Edwin Hun-nicutt, Don Stickney, Vincent Crouch, Bill Mock, Howard Beasley, Harold Lindley, David Turnbull and the hostesses, Ami Fillinger and Edith Philbrick. Miss Elsie Wendiing of Chicago, arrived in Bellingham last Friday to occupy the position as supervisor of student teachers in the city schools, left vacant by the departure of Miss Fannie Ragland. Miss Wendiing comes to this city directly from Teacher's College, Columbia. Much of her teaching experience was gained oin Dekalb and Normal, Illinois, in training schools. She also was a member of the faculty of the Kalamazoo Normal school in Michigan. "I have appreciated very much the coureous consideration shown me," said Miss Wendiing, "especially Superintendent D. E. Wiedman's assistance in becoming acquainted with the city schools, which is indicative of an harmonious relationship between the normal and the city school system." She also mentioned the pleasant location of Bellingham among the mountains. RAYMOND'S CHORUS ACCORDED ACCLAIM Singers' Club Presents Second of Three Concerts Wednesday in Ntrmal Auditorium.

Of the sixty candidates for graduation, March 18, two are coniplet- • ing the three year course of study. There were sixty-three two-year, one four-year and three three-year graduates last quarter. The numberof last year's graduating class of the winter quarter is ahout the same as .this year. Of this quarter's grads, very few have secured positions, a visit to the appointment office discloses. However, next quarter will prove the appointment office a popular place as most contracts are signed in the spring. The three-year candidates are Eutha Davis and Marguerite Saddler . The two-year candidates are Sydney Abrahamson, Alma Adolfson, Sverre Arestad, Helen C.

Science Classes to Use ~. Kulshan Cabin in July "Kulshan cabin on Heliotrope Ridge Mount Baker, will be turned over to the Bellingham Normal-school by the Mount Baker duty" throughout July," reported C. A. "Happy" Fisher, chairman of the Kulshan cabin committee. The Normal school will use the cabin for headquarters for two large groups of students interested in geology and nature study. Last year the Normal conducted a similar course at Kulshan cabin but offered only a geology course. The public will be barred from u s i ng the cabin while the Normal has the use of it. - According to Mr. Fisher the trail from Glacier to Kulshan cabin will be reconditioned by the forestry department. Last year $600 was expended by students and Glacier residents in repairing the trail. o MEN'S SMOKER IS SCHEDULED TONIGHT. sts The urse Normal Wednesday Ruth Draper, New York Actress, Will Present Series of * Character Sketches.

Only men are asked to make their appearance and they must have twenty-five cents along if they expect to get in. With such a headliner as Sundst'rom versus Battling Slim, the Smoker promises to be the best. Earl Hemmi, president of the Men's Club, announces that there Avili be cider and doughnuts served, and if for no other reason all men should be there. * Bouts Arranged Sundstrom vs Battling Slim- :........

Ed Stuart is manager of this year's smoker. Characterizations Convincing and Natural; Holds Audience in Suspense. Miss Ruth Draper, successful New York actress will present a series of -original character sketches in the Normal School auditorium, Wednesday, March 9, at 8:15 p. m. Miss Draper's successes in New York* London, and Paris in the field of dramatics are remarkable and her recitals were received by enthusiastic audiences, in * Madrid, Venice, and Geneva. In America she has always had the support of theater-goers as well as the greatest of dramtic critics. • Ruth Draper owes her success to the unique art which she has developed. Her characters are original, and she writes her own monologues for them. She does not merely present a one-sided conversation, but realistically peoples the stage with others who have to do with her character. In these sketches she gives not only the characters she means to express, but their surrounding atmosphere, and in. some cases their past. Is Creative Artist. In this particular form of. entertainment, • Ruth Draper has few rivals. With the aid of almost no ac cessories, she evolves a human being out of thin air and makes him live and laugh before the audience. Miss Draper's characterizations are so convincing and natural that the interest of the audience is held throughout the entire program. She changes rapidly from one type to another as her program proceeds. She is as deft with her humor, as with pathos, and always has her audience with her. As the London Observer said, ''Miss Draper can make us cry when she wants to; for the most part she inakes us laugh. She is as witty as she is charming; she is a fine artist in the fine shades of character." FRIDAY, March 4— Men's Club Smokeless -Smoker in the Little gym at 7:30 p. m._ Y. W. C . A.

Microscope of Zoology Laboratory Discloses Dirty Drops of Pond Water Have you ever had a glimpse of "fairyland" in a huge Easter-egg "peep-show" where dwell such tiny people ?•'•'. — The microscope' of the zoology laboratory is just such an interesting instrument; you can look at a dirty drop of pond^vater and see fierce dragons and serpents and other wild animals, scientifically known, as protozoa. You can corner them by lumps of silt and watch their useless struggles"; you.can watch them eat and turn somersaults. You can relentlessly ••"chase*' them around the slide until they are in focus. Besides ' t h e .elusive* Amoeba and the somersaulting Paramecium, here lives the dainty and flower-like Vor-ticella; bounding up and down like a jumping jack on its elastic stem. A: stranger, sneaking intovthe laboratory, would be surprised at the strange remarks of the students. "Lost him. Lost him." —"Oh, here he is."—Come on, come on-"—"Oh, Lyman, is he an amoeba?" Is he?"— "Miss Rosenej look here, what's this ?"—"Oh, I lost him. He was right there." Almost as interesting as the patching together of the bones of extinct animals is this interesting study of the world which we poor lumbering giants call "Phylum protozoa." Invisible to human eyes they move-about in perfect comfort (until they reach the merciless laboratory) in their tiny world. Murmurs of dismay and lost hope are met by the cheering statements of Miss Rosene, that: "All scientists go through the apprenticeship of 'never finding anything under the microscope,' and that "One of the greatest lessons to be learned through microscopic work is infinite and tireless patience." : ^;:'v"': '•'•:-:'•••- Slides which presented the scenic beauties of Eastern and Western Washington were shown to the members of the Camera Club at their last meeting held Thursday, February 24.

Velasco Jessie Wait STAFF Theo Norby Helene Wright Gladys Burton Phyllis Westover Marion Queeenberry Sarah Goodman * Joseph Jones REPORTERS Andrew McCall Tony Mustacich Ellsworth Lumley Edna Wise Jane Wetherell Mark Jarrett Robert Wagner Vernon Zachrison EDITORIAL COUNCIL Jessie Whitten Robert Fisher Ruth Sturman Questions have come of lateto the editor of the Messenger concerning the policy or primary function of our weekly publication. Students have asked questions thinking that the Messenger existed in order that students who were interested could take journalism. Others have thought until this time that the fundamental principle underlying the publication * of the Messenger is to make it self-supporting. There is a definite tendency to make as much so as possible by advertising, but, to make it self supporting is erroneous calculation. The Messenger exists primarily for the benefit of the students. To attempt to interpret the life of the school, including entertainments, so cial affairs, educational assemblies, and lectures is the primary aim of the Messenger. To keep the students posted on the daily and weekly occurrences in and about the school is our privilege.. The paper exists for the benefit of the entire student body and not only for the few who are desirous of garnering some knowledge concerning newspapers and current publications. We should cease studying and begin reading books from the library. Probably if this suggestion were carried out some of us could improve lt; our intellects slightly. Why not require everybody who goes to the rec hour to present his student activities ticket? We want to be sure that we enjoy that affair all by ourselves. It is. not selfishness, either; it is according to the purpose for which the rec hour has been established. Mr. .K. A. Bickel, President of the United Press, says in an article in "Editor and Publisher." "I believe in journalism schools, but I don't think I would advise a young man to take a strict journalism course. The general liberal arts course, with writing and literature featured, combined with electives in journalism is more valuable, it seems to me. Top this with a year's training on a small town daily and add natural talent, and you have the basis for a brilliant newspaper career." o . The general consensus of opinion is that the Sophomore Greenwich Village hop was by far the most successful social affair of the winter quarter. The music, the decorations, the features, and the costumes went to make a unique setting for the truly marvelous dance. The novelty of the decorations deserv much comment. The features, truly original, Were well received by all. A generous response was given Phil Sisk, acting artist for the occasion. The music, rendered by a Seattle band, was conceded to have been the best "jazz" played in die Big Gym this season. Sponsors of the dance worked patiently and diligently to attain the successes that they did. In all probability, they were satisfied with the generous response made by the students as well as with the genera* success of the party.. : o It has been said that to learn everything is unwise. It is impossible U gt; remember everything that we must know in our profession including the latest educational philosophy and psychology of material and their correct and efficient uses. This week we are inaugurating a new idea in our Messenger. The second page will be called the editorial page of the Weekly Messenger. It will include features, editorials, opinions, poetry, and the columns. • Hereafter it will contain no news stories. o—— GEORGE ALLEZ IS MAN FOR PRESIDENT'S CHAIR There has been considerable mis-undcrfitandings as to the eligibility of certain candidates for offices on the Board of Control, as to their permission to propose their name for candidacy, and aa to the aims they plan to follow if elected. I feel that failure to re-elect Mr. (Signed) Allez as President of the Board would be a serious setback to the policies he has inaugurated, policies now thoroughly incorporated in J;he contemplated program for the Spring and Summer quarters. If elected to- the office of Vice President of the Board-of Control, I promise to work for the Bellingham Normal on the lines set down by him. N ' DanJBicghle. Under the initiative and sponsorship of Miss Nora B. Cummins of the social science department a new organization known as "THE INTERNATIONAL CLUB" has been established. The club is going to devote its activities exclusively to current international questions. There is vision in this movement, which only versatile minds can sec. I should like to be in this club because I want to be able to say. "lam not a citizen of Mexico; I am a citizen of the WORLD." The Fate of "Milestones" We cannot prophesy what will be the critics' opinion of the play, "Milestones," . which the Drama Club will stage on March 11 and 12. We are, at this moment, reminded of the Drama Club play, "THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY," which was staged last quarter, and which met with severe criticism by a prolific critic. Such are critics—they -either praise or condemn. But from present indications we are assured of a truly successful presentation of "Milestones". Let's see; the event will teach us in its hour. I should like to pay my compliments to the MACDOWEEL CLUB for their entertaining program at the assembly Tuesday morning. We want more of this kind of students' organization, which achieves something •worthy of our attention. . After Mr. Philippi announced that the program in last Tuesday's assembly would last long, a voice from behind me sounded, "GOOD." I think so; that's what goodness means. That is, so far as the social mind understands it. For, even a marriage relation is not good when it lasts so long. Brevity is the essential quality of goodness. A FEW THOUGHTS FOR THE PRESENT "The Things I Should Do If I Were in College Again," by Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of men, University of Illinois, Dearborn Independent, January 8, 1927; page 14. Ten things in particular Dean Clark lists as what he would do if he could start to college once more. He Ayould: 1. Develop concentration—work harder, but not so long. 2. Learn to work while others are around. 3. Put more stress on learning .how to get information than upon the information itself. 4. Find more difficult tasks to do. 5. Learn to speak in public. 6. Learn to play some athletic game. "~ 7. Learn to do one line of work particularly well. . 8 . Get better acquainted with" his instructors. 9. Take fewer courses which are strictly practical. 10. Have an avocation/. which would bring him into close touch with men. (By Duke) Well, seems as if the Sophs have come to life. Spring sometimes can do wonderful things.

Professor Williams, of the Social Science department, spoke at Monroe recently and reports that Lloyd Mabon is doing excellent work there. He is a member of the Men's Club, the organization which Mr. Williams addressed while there. In addition to his pedagogical duties, Mr.. Mabon is affiliated with several community organizations.

These people usually manage to talk an indefinite length of time and in case one has a class he must hurry off, leaving the announcements tin-read. Probably one of the reasons why so many of the bulletins remain posted several days without getting any results is because when one is at liberty to read them someone else is entertaining a friend with amusing incidents on what he did the night before, and as hetalks he uses the wall as a prop to aid him in standing.

In the first game of their last road trip of the year, the Vikings were barely nosed out by St. Martins' College in a fast and exciting contest played last Friday evening at Lacey. The work of Cardinal, Catholics center, was the outstanding feature of the match, he accounting 'for sixteen of his teams total score. Bellingliam held a previous victory over the Laceyites, 51-40. The game was- nip and tuck all the way, with the Vikings holding the edge during the first half, and their opponents, all through the second. The mix was one of the hardest engaged in-by the Normal hoop team this season. At half time, Carver's men led 15'to 14 and seemed to be on the road to victory, but the Collegians shot ahead and secured a small margin which they, maintained for the remainder of the game. Both teams were shooting well, and- the score gradually went up, with the Vikings always a few points behind, never able to erase their opponents' lead. The last minute and a quarter was hectic to say the least—Eleven points were scored in that time. Shot after shot dropped and the Vikings came up until they were only one point behind. Then in the closing seconds, Cardinal let loose a long shot that swished through the hoop to cinch a St. Martin's victory. Summary: Bellingham 31 St. Martin's 34 Odell 9 F Wrubble 2 Keplinger 16 ....

This contest ended the most disastrous week-end that the Normal team has suffered this year. Nevertheless, the year has been highly successful. The team having won nine games and lost four, gaining the tri- Normal title and defeating some of the best smaller colleges in the state. The Freshmen gave the Vikings their worst drubbing of the year. While the score does not indicate it, there was a great deal of difference in the strength of the two teams. The Yearlings, practically the same ones who lined up against the Nor-malites here early in the season, played superlative basketball. The failure of Bay Odell to hit the hoop seriously hartflicapped Bellingham's scoring power, while the absence of Lyman Stickney, regular guard, was a further weakening. For the Vikings, the work of Keplinger and Jensen was outstanding, while Peterson and McClary, giant center, led the Frosh. Summary: Bellingham 26 U. W. Frosh 38 Odell 2 F Eamm 2 Keplinger 11 ....

P. S.—Nobody knows what will happen to the writer of this column who has been butchering the American language for one whole quarter in a most detestable manner. • o — Class B Season Will Reach Climax Tuesday The City Class B basketball championship will reach its climax next Tuesday on the Y. M/ C. A. floor when the Viking Jayvees meet the Roland Wreckers for that title. The chances are even and the contest promises to be a nip and tuck affair. _, Both teams are in their prime , - and they are expected to be in per-feet form for the classic. To date the Normalites are standing one up in games with the Wreckers in the final play-off. In regular scheduled games, the two teams broke even. The Vikings have a larger total of points and the law of averages should give the victory to the school boys but the Wreckers are also out to win, and dope of this type is not dependable. For this final game, Coach Harold Keeney will have in his roster the following men to pick from: Blizard, Bowler, and Thorlakson, forwards; Bob Fisher, center; and Meek, Lund berg; Morse, and Norby, guards. thereby adding to the difficulty of selecting such a team. After consulting various authorities! on the game who have seen them in action, the following selections were made: First Team. Player Pos. Team Wilson F. Roland Wr. Blizard F. Jayvees Felch' C.

C Jayvees o THESPIANS WIN GAME FROM THE FROSH After much thought and deliberation, judging the players from floor work, scoring ability, and checking talent, the author has selected an All Class A team, which could hold their own among the best in amateur circles. On this team two Viking men are placed; one Baker Lumber basket shooters; one Y. M. C .A. man, and one Brown Cole man. In order that ho one who might deserve mention shall be left, out, a second team has been chosen, and two honorable mentions are made. Following are the selections made: The teams that wil] repersent the girls in their athletic activities have been chosen by the director of athletics for women, Miss Kellar. Two teams have been selected from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. One team will represent it respective group in basketball, while the other will vie for class honors in Volley ball. The teams., as chosen, are as follows : Freshman team in basketball, first team: Grace Velleg, Grace Roemhild, and Florence Christenson, forwards; Alice Nelson, Anna Hicklin, jumping centers; Violet .Graham, Bessie James, side centers; Evelyn Huseby, Gladys Green, Jean Williams, guards. The second team includes: Martha Ylonen, Kathryn Otin, Martha Ges-dahl, forwards; Carrie Tucker, Florence Dunham, jumping centers; Irene Harris, Kathryn Lawrence, side centers; and Peggy Pennycook, Mary Fox, Grace Zander, guards. The Sophomore first team in basketball lines up with: Harriet Mud-nail jPhyllis Crabill, Geneva Rickard, forwards; Clara Liter,- Elizabeth '.Krell, jumping centers; Orlena Moore, Erna Olsen, side centers; Alice Lingley, Elsie Cummins, Edith Cox, guards. The second team includes, Blanche Hamilton, Blanche; Otin, Evelyn Har-no, Edna Muhson, Gwendolyn Shakespeare, Esther Pallas, Phyllis Paul, Rosebud Zander, and Mary Farey. The Sophomores have organized a volley-ball team, with the following: Elizabeth Krell, Geneva Rickard, Fomia Wakin, Clara Liter, Esther Pallas, captain, Phyllis Paul, Inga Jnsen, Vivian Johnson, Alice Ling-ely and Hilda Woodage. The members of the Freshman volley ball team include: Grace Veeley, captain; Florence Dunham, Gladys Green, Carrie Tucker, Fay Scanlan, Esther Gunderson, Golda Abel, Kathryn Lawrence, Charlotte Heat-on, and Helen Kadow. It was the foul throw in the final moments of play that won the game for the Roland Wreckers last Friday night on the Y. M. C. A. floor. The final score gave the Wreckers a one-point margin over the Viking Jayvees ,the score board showing 33 to 32. Wilson was the whole treat for the Automobile men, garnering five field goals. The Jayvees opened the game, playing careful ball, waiting for openings which did come. Up and up the score went, and through the accurate tossing of Blizard and Bowler were able to bring the total up to twenty by half time, while the guards were checking hard and holding ' the strong Wrecker offense to but ten markers.

RUCKMICK ABOUT YOUR PLANS (Continued from Page One) those who have girls. You should see them smile when they get the kitchen all planned the way she would like to have it. No foolin' now. Mr. Paickmick's General Drawing class—listed as Ind. Arts 21—is not only interesting from the funny side, but is even more so from the practical side. This course not only goes into the forming of house plans, but covers the whole field of drawing in such a way as to give one an insight and understanding of it. It is a course that anyone would derive a great deal of benefit from. Who. hasn't had an idea .. that he would like to put on paper just to see how. it would look ? This course is something that will stick with you through life, and there will hardly be a day pass that it won't, in some way, help you. —By a Member of the Class.

Life in Mongolia Shown In Normal Vivid descriptions of life as it was ten million years ago were given by Roy Chapman Andrews!, xenowned scientist and leader of the Third Asiatic expedition, who made two appearances at the Normal school auditorium Thursday, February 24; Mi-. Andrews returned to America to tell his experiences in the fam-out expedition which he headed. In addition, he brought thousands of feet of motion picture film, which were shown for the first time with his lecture. Mr. Andrews knows the domance of prehistoric and present day life on the Gobi desert of Mongolia. Related Story Graphically He told graphically of the egg-eating dinosaur that was caught "poaching," and overwhelmed by a sudden fierce sandstorm ten. millions of years ago; how he found hidden away in the rock strata the remains of this tragedy enacted when the world was young; and how he unearthed the skull of the Baluchithir-ium,. the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. He spoke of the Mongolia of today, of Lamas, peasants, brigands and desert caravans. Gobi Desert Cold Mr.. Andrews said that some of the country they, passed through was the coldest in the .world. There was no means of communication through most of the region his party traversed. The expedition, which has been under way for four years combines the most modern methods with the old. The "success of the venture has depended upon the automobile as well as the camel. NOTED PIANIST GIVES ENTERTAING RECITAL John J. Blackmore,. distinguished pianist and resident of the Pacific coast, gave a very interesting program in the student assembly, February 25. ~ •In introducing Matthay's principles of piano playing to Chicago, John Blackmore has realized that a great honor has been conferred upon him. For many yeairs progressive teachers of the piano in America have been dissatisfied with existing principles as laid down by earlier pianists and teachers. Mr. Tobias Matthay has cleared up many of the greatest difficulties in piano, playing. • ~ . Mr. Blackmore's long years of study with great teachers, both of Europe and America have fitted him -to. introduce this work. His' .rich background was given him by his experience, both as a public player and instructor of many brilliant artists. . Much praise has been given to Mr. Blackmore for his freedom, lovely tone color, incisive rhythm and mus-icaLinterpretations. The Y. W. C.
