NIGHT TENNIS YE DIARY —Bob Walters SWING ELECTION TO DARK HORSE ENTRY Eleven Candidates Divided Offices. Groups Will Vie for Positions in Coming- Election. Oar Business Manager has fallen heir to a new and larger desk, and we now have control of the old one. I t doesn't happen to be quite large enough, but we can clump our feet on it and it does add prestige to the job. Which reminds us, that the Bus. Mgr. is also the concoctor of "Ye Diary" each week. W. S. N. S. An article "What'll I Do Now", by Rita S. Hale, is appearing in the April issue of McCall's magazine. It is based on an interview with a big corporation executive. I t brings out the fact that we have come to look on colleges as a high type of employment agency. The graduate no longer has to go from door to door looking for a position, as the corporation* representatives now come to the colleges for employees. Those that are selected for the bigger jobs are usually in the upper 15 to 20%, but as grades are not all that are concerned the; per cent usually increases. The| sought ones are not only judged by ' .their scholastic records, but by their all around standards, including personality, activities, and looks. ...^ ..r— W. S. N. S. ~" ' ! Which is in keeping- with the fact t h a t those now hiring teachers, feel that they want teachers who are active, energetic, and., who show nice qualities of personality. Another thing that counts is personal appearance. We believe that appearance is often neglected by Normal students, and that it would be wise, to keep this in mind when we are job seeking. W. S. N. S. SUMMERS MAY RUN Election Had Been Scheduled for Today,.but Was Postponed Owing to Change in the Point System. Achievement Tests For New Students Come Next Tuesday A number of colleges are now placing flood ilghts about their tennis courts so that night tennis can be played. Some would like to see that done here, but in view of the drawing power of the courts in the day time and the fact that night study is most conducive'when there are no outside attractions, it probably would handicap most of us if such lights were installed here. -W. S. N. S. M. K. M. started., a., near., riot among the boys with her scathing "student opinion" against the men's lounging room. We are all for the club room, and as the former Nor-malite chef also pulled strongly for it, we take this opportunity 'to inform Miss M. K. M. that Normalite is club-room minded. :—W. S. N. S. Just as various groups were beginning to prophecy the outcome of the coming student body election, an entirely new light was thrown on the situation by the nomination of Lyle Summers to succeed himself as president. Whether he will ignore the Cool-idge policy of not wanting to change a precedent, or whteher he Will take the "I do not choose to run" attitude, Mr. Summers did not state in an interview following the nominations. The election was tentatively slated for today but the date was changed at a special meeting of the Board of Control. The candidates were to have been approved on the basis of grades and the point system. The board plans to make some changes in this system, and in the means of weighing the merits of the various officers. It was impossible to get this settled this week, as the faculty meeting was postponed on account of the absence of President C. H. Fisher, and well as several other faculty members. At the close of the nominations last Tuesday there were eleven listed to enter the race for the three offices, namely, that of president, vice president, and a four quarter representative to the Board of Control. Out of that group there are five students seeking the presidential chair. Owing to the large number of nominees for the comparatively small numbers of voters a little organization and .campaigning on the part of the individual candidates' boosters, may swing the lead to a dark horse. Several of the candidates had backers grouped together and bidding strongly for the vote of the undecided. Posters and signs are also slated to make their appearance. Those who have been nominated for president are: Quentin Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, Charles Dowell, and Lyle Summers; for vice president, Mary McDonald, and Chloris Fischer, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Grav-rock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins.' : o— Next Tuesday from four to five o'clock the Stanford Achievement tests in Arithmetic Reasoning, Arithmetic Computation, Spelling, and English Usage will be given. The following day, Wednesday, tests in History, Geography, and Penmanship will be given. It is necessary to take and pass all of the tests to get into the Training school. With the exception of Penmanship, students are given four chances to pass the tests. A small charge is to be paid at the third and fourth trials. A failure in Penmanship requires the student to obtain a passing grade in one of the Penmanship courses. These tests are graced according to a new scale which was made out in the fall quarter. o TUESDAY ASSEMBLY TO BE SPONSORED BY SCIENCE DEPT, IN DRAMA CLUB PLAY Philippi, Quick, Du Bois, Dewey, and Howell Also Rate Parts in Drama at Last Night's Tryout. WILL PLAY "THE YOUNGEST' Play by Philip Barry, Is Genuinely American. Dreaming "Youngest" Is Thwarted by Practical Family. Appointment Bureau Places Nine People ^ In Teaching Positions Sundquist Will Deliver Lecture on Activities at the Friday Harbor Camp Slides Will Depict Life. STATION IS FAMOUS BOARD HEARS PLANS OF TRACK PROGRAM Final Arrangements for Souvenir Programs Made;. Price Not to Exceed Twenty-five Cents. Tuesday morning, April 15, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to an illustrated lecture by one of the members of the Science department, Miss Leona Sundquist. Her talk will be on the work done by the Normal School in connection with the University of Washington at the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor. The slides used will show scenes of the camp life led there by students during the summer, of classes in action, and of the buildings maintained by the. Station. Every summer a group of students wo are ntereted n the work of thes who are interested in the work of the Science department and who are doing third-year work, with instructors of the department, attend the sessions. The Puget Sound Station is known throughout the United States as one of the foremost in the biological field. Many interesting specimens of marine life have been discovered there, and each year the station is visited by men prominent in the scientific professions. A lecture of this type .is given at intervals to stimulate an interest in and to enable those students who are doing advanced work to know something about activities at Friday Harbor. Tryouts for the spring quarter Drama club play "The Youngest" were held last night and with the cast chosen rehearsals will begin immediately. Philip Barry, the author of this delightful comedy, is one of America's young playwrights who has been ever moving towards the pln-acle of success. His play are genuinely American, his dialogue to the point, witty, with a spicy touch of slang. In "The Youngest" he has with ease and humor portrayed the continued repressions of the youngest son whose aspirations to become a writer are scoffed at by a practical family. He stands much, but when they put him out of his room, lock up his manuscripts, and cut off his allowance, well—the worm turns, and things happen. There is another reason though; behind him is Nancy, cleverly pushing him on and manouvering the whole family. The youngest finds her-out, misinterprets her real motive, and then —perhaps more things happen. No less than nine people have secured teaching, positions during the past, week, according to reports of the Appointment Bureau. Mabel Knapp is teaching the third grade in Greenacres, Washington; Nellie Olson has the Otter Creek school, a rural school in Lewis county; Shir-ley~ Brown is teaching grades one to four in the Evalina school; while Marjorie Coventon is located in Port Angeles. Dawn T. Goodnough and Olive Goldman have been placed at Long-branch, teaching grades 5 to 8 and grades 1 to 4, respectively. Thelma Mears has the intermediate grades in Anacortes, Charles K. Erickson is teaching in Snohomish, and Verna Scrimsher has the primary grades at Guemes. o WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS Spring Showers Idea Is Feature in Decorations Through Medium of Rainbows and Umbrellas.

The money made will go toward the payment of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. Brilliant umbrellas hung from the ceiling and a rainbow at one end of the floor emphasized the Spring idea. Coming in lightly flowered dresses the girls added much to the dance, giving it color and life. Programs were effective, with their purple backgrounds and gold design. The plate on the front was designed with a very little girl under a huge umbrella and drops of rain falling all around. Ann Swanson, Chairman Music was furnished by the "Rec Hour" orchestra, but because Wayne Priem, pianist, was ill, the boys had to play with other piano players and without organized practice. Ann Swanson was general chairman of the dance, assisted by Ruth Sammons, Katherin Zeran, Florence Goodman, Marybeth Park- TODAY— 4 p. m., Rec Hour. 4 p. m., Interclass track meet, Waldo Field. 7:30 p. m., Y.

Even shadow has a beauty with the deep green hue of springtime, earth is waking, smiling, sparkling; life begins again to grow. Sunlight's sultry summer splendor never thrills like this of springtime; now a scented, /golden beauty seems poured out on all around—golden, green the hill above us, golden city, bay below, with a breath of breeze that ripples sun and shadow into sound. —J. B. N O R T H W E S T V I K I NG Dolly Anderson may well feel proud of the achievement of the Northwest Viking in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held in New York this month. The Viking rated second place in competition with publications from Teacher's Colleges, Normal Schools, and Junior Colleges all over the United States. To take an already good newspaper and make it better is not always easy. Miss Anderson assumed the editorship of a publication which had taken fourth place in the national contest held last year, and forced it up through increasingly difficult competition until it rested only one rung from the top. It was a noteworthy achievement. O N E D U C A T I ON "Education: Savage and Civilized", is the title of an article by John Langdon-Davies, which appears in Harper's Magazine. Mr. Langdon- Davies, who will be remembered frorri his lecture here last year, discusses education from a new viewpoint. "Savage parents are those who regard education as an art of making out of their children exact replicas of themselves; their watchword is, 'What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.' Civilized parents are those who use, every available device and ingenuity to prevent their children being like themselves; they seek for an education which will enable the next gneration to face life a few steps farther on". "Censoring the Conduct of College Women" is discussed in The Atlantic Monthly by Mabel B. Lee, who declares that the recent development of student government in girl's schools and co-educational institutions, has gone far in making of modern woman the architect of her own education, but that the hard-won freedom has not yet been made to include the field of conduct and morals. Exponents of the theory that women students should be allowed a certain measure of freedom from restrictions and taboos imposed on their lives by deans of women, will here find valuable moral support from a woman who writes rather intelligently on the subject A scholastic meditation, "Teacher or Factory H a n d ? " , should prove interesting to teachers who feel that a too-heavy emphasis on ^getting the greatest number of students taught by the fewest„ number of teachers is productive of serious consequences. Writing anonymously, the author complains that being required to handle too many'student readers it is impossible for her to give any of them the thought and attention which they deserve, and she supports her contention with some rather tragic examples. This article also appears in the Atlantic Monthly. . o—— . - If you feel blue because your name is listed with those who have had credits cut, don't let it overcome you.

The main thing is this! He's done, see, and he can start all over again, and either make good or not make good. Y'know, it would be a tough, tough, old woild if a fellow didn't get a chance every so often to drop off the tangles of things he's got himself into... At that, all he ever does, upon finding himself free, is start workin' on a new set of tangles. •i 4 :.•: » BORROWED DEFINITION— A bore is a gink which always insists on talking—just at the time when you want to talk. * * * * More Truth Than Poetry— (Statement made by Him to H e r ).

Helps Boredom Dear Mr. Leen ana Fellow -Members of the . International Relations Club: I have been in Peru now for a number of days enjoying the good and bad of Peru. , I do not hesitate to say the good arid the bad, for in spite of the show of wealthy homes here the majority of people are poor. The. poor peoples' homes are constructed of mud and a clay brick called 'ladrillo", which does not add to the cleanliness. It is very interesting to walk along the streets and glance into their homes. Every home, which, by the way, is constructed like a square box, lias its characteristic "patio" in the center. K Rich Architecture I n the better class of homes there is a veritable field of study for the student of architecture. There are old Spanish colonial homes with their abundance of wood carvings; there is the Italian villa with its name over the door; while many buildings have the upper stories in the French style of architecture. The Moorish conquest of Spain many centuries ago can still be seen in Peru in the form of architecture. A huge triumphal arch containing the characteristic domes and three quarter circles of Arabs is one of the sights to see in Lima. The Spanish people certainly love to adorn their homes with beautiful carvings, variously designed mosaic and gorgeous flowers. Peru has an antique university. It was founded by one of the Spanish (kings in 1551 and has been in service ever since. The subject matter taught is very much up to date, while the athletic equipment is imported from America. Soccer seems to be their national sport, and when I asked one of the students why they did not play American football, I received the most reasonable answer —and yet to us the most peculiar reason. He said that the Spanish peoples are too emotional. They fight before a tame game of soccer begins and when it is all over they go out into the streets and finish the duel by fists. Fear Capitalists The students, as a whole, dislike the United States because of its big-stick policy with the smaller American countries, it amused me to realize that they, do not attribute this to we citizens but to the capitalists of America. ,In fact they came straight with .their thoughts and asked me "Do you believe that it is necessary to have a socialist revolution in America?" They have a dislike or,suspicion of Europe especially Spain. Although they believe the Monroe Doctrine is only a piece of paper, the students have faith in an American community of friendship as opposed, to Europe. In fact, like, all students, they are a little inquisitive., About six months ago they became so opposed to the present President of Peru, M. Le-guia, that the police had to kill about twenty, send two hundred to the political prison and expel about as many more from the country. People expect in the future some sweeping political changes to come over Peru through these students. Study Cerevantes While you students are industri-. ously studying Shakespeare or worshipping him these young students barely know the gentleman, and instead it is Cervantes, Cervantes, everywhere. Last Sunday I witnessed my first and last bull-fight. Six beautiful bulls came bouncing into the ring and were artistically slaughtered by the torreadors amid the wild, warm acclamations of the people. There is only one thing that I can admire in the sport. That is when the tor-reador, after taking two barbs into his hands, runs directly for the bull's head and leaves them in the animal's shoulders without so much as a graze from the beast. I guess it is as a young Chilian explained to me, "you must have Spanish blood in your veins to enjoy a bullfight." Speeding Home As I write this final note we are speeding down the coast of Peru, off Mollendo, on our way to northern Chile. In Chile the boat shall lift a cargo of iron ore for the iron smelter in Tacoma. So far, we have been dropping lumber from Tacoma and Bellingham to various ports all along the Coast. Sailors must stand their watches so that means "Adios". Yours truly, ' , —GUY S. SPRINGSTEEL.

Burnett's second novel, his first being "Little Caesar", and was chosen by the Book of the Month club as one of their books for 1930. But in spite of the fact that the club gave it a nmning, the actual merits of the ; book will make it popular, especially among the men. The story of a mechanic's helper • and his rise to middleweight champion prize fighter of the world is ^fcold 'in crude, simple words that fit t h e characters and the action.

Every year the Prosh make a real try to overwhelm the Sophs, but as the dope, points up to date the Soph class men have the edge. Interest is running high especially in the dressing rooms and several heated arguments have been staged there between the managers, Brinkman and Flowers, as to the outcome in some of the events. I am hoping that Brinkman will get the right 'end'of this bone. ATHENS WINS For the secona time in two years the pennant of the interscholastic " basketball championship of the United States will be floated from the flagpole 01' Athens, Texas, high school. The Texans defeated Jeno, Louisiana, 22 .to 16 in the final game of the tournament, last Saturday night to put down in history the first time that the national championship has been won by the same institution twice. It was a heart breaking defeat for the Zena boys, for since early winter they had spent their evenings, either in the only grocery store in town or in t he high school gym. So convinced were ' the citizens of this little town that they collected enough money to send the team to the National Tourney. U. OF W. WINS It was just an indoor record breaking- spree for Washington last Saturday night when the U. of W. defeated- the California Bears by the score of 74 1-3 to 55 2-3. The records broken were the discus, by Paul Jessup, with a throw of 153 feet 8J4 inches. A jump of 23 feet, broke the former broad jump record. Steve Anderson lowered the mark for the 180-yard low hurdles when he covered them in 20.1 seconds. Another, record fell when Hurthy ran the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds. The fifth record bit the dust when Kiserr covered the distance of „ ene mile in 4:19.

LETTERMEN ARE BARRED Opening the Viking track season, the annual inter-class meet between the Frosh and t he Sophomores began last night and will be finished this afternoon. A great deal of interest is being shown in the meet which should be a close race.all the way through. The Frosh are given a slight edge over the upper-classmen, because they have more men entered in the different events. hTe method of giving points also favors the Frosh. I n all events except the 100-yard dash, points will be given the first five places. In this event, two heats will be r un off and points given to the first three place winners. Lettermen are barred from the meet which also does not help the Sophs any. Brinkman is manager of the Sophomore team while Flowers heads the Frosh outfit. The events which will take-place Thursday and those entered are: 100-yard dash—F, Emery, Flowers, Johnston, Faulkner, Duyff; S, Jackson, Abshire, Iverson, Dixon, B. Cole. 880-yard run—F, Sanders, Quick, Eacrett, Lovegren. High hurdles—S, Gunn, Dixon; F, Flowers, Eacrett. Discus—S. Thorsen; F, Flowers, Shelton, Voris, Emery. High jump—S, Hunnicut, Dixon, Davis, Gunn; F, Sanders, Stearns, Eacrett. Broad jump—S, Dixon, Davis, Cole, Gunn; F, Sanders, Flowers, Johnston, Stearns, Eacrett, Shelton. The following are listed for Friday: 220-yard dash—S, Abshire, Dixon, Jackson, B. Cole, D.

A new course in physical education is to be offered this.quarter by the Physical Education department. What do you suppose it could be ? Nothing but thejavorite pastime of Occie Thorsen—Golf. The course will be given by Al Kozmoski and should prove inter- -esting to beginners. SANDBERG RESIGNS— Roy Sandberg, coach of the- El-lensburg Normal school for t h e past four years, has tendered his resignation, it was learned this week. Sandberg, with the faithful support of all Ellensburg, was successful in turning out some good squads. Winning several tri-Normal titles. Bel-lingham alumni of Whatcom High seems to be on Sandburg's trial. I t is rumored _about that he may take over the coaching of football at the high school. The weather has been playing havoc with the track and baseball turnouts for the past week. However, light turnouts have been held in the gyms. Either squad cannot afford the forced delay caused by the weather, by being twd of the weakest teams to start with that we have had. The coaches need every minute they can get to put forth two good representing squads for the institution. Shelton, Faulkner. Pole vault—F, Sanders, Flowers, Eacrett. Golfer Al Kuzmoski . To Instruct Glasses In Scottish Game Al Kuzmoski will be the pro for all students who are turning out for golf instruction this quarter. Classes are held at 10 o'clock on l!£onday and Wednesday; and a t 8 and 5 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday. One may take only two lessons a week. To play, equipment must be furnished by t h e would-be gofler, and a green fee paid. The classes are open to both men and women, but only twelve people may sign for each class, and since all are nearly filled, students should sign at once. One may sign up on the W. A. A. bulletin board, down stairs. Chances for Tennis Team Look Bad for the Quarter With the drawing* for a ladder tournament having been made, Viking racket-wielders will start getting in shape for t h e coming tennis season. Prospects for a championship squad appear few and far between, and so far, no outstanding material has yet shown up. The tri-normal meet is the only match scheduled for the Vikings as yet, but matches with the Washington Frosh and C. P. S. may be arranged. Three or four men will be picked from the tournament to form the team. In this type of tournament, one man may play another two places above him and should he win, they automatically change their places. Up to date three matches have been played. Stearns defeated Reid to hold onto first place, and Reid in turn won from Gross to keep second place. In the other match Emery defeated Rich. Twenty-three men have signed up for t he tourney. The order in which the tournament was begun is as follows: 1, Stearns; 2, Reid; 3, Emery; 4, Gross; 5, Rich$ 6, Ames; 7, Anayah; 8, Rork; 9, Nostrant; 10, Constantine; 11, Dixon; 12, Johnson; 13, Vaughn; 14, Sanders; 15, Brownlow; 16, Flowers; 17, Abshire; 18, Owen; 19, McMeen; 20, Thai; 21, Evereden; 22, Austin; 23, Mollan. INITIATION lO BE SOON FOR W. A. A. MEMBERS Twelve women have signed up for membership into the Women's Athletic Association for spring quarter. Initiation will be held in the next two weeks and so all girls wishing to be W. A. A. members should sign on the bulletin board downstairs. It is not necessary to be a,W. A. A. member to turn out for sports, but for team awards and for t he counting of points, membership is required. o LAKE WHATCOM HIKE PROVES BIG SUCCESS The first hike of" the quarter was taken last Saturday. The girls planned to hike to Lake Padden, but, due to some misunderstanding, they lost their way and found themselves at Lake Whatcom, where they enjoyed themselves swinging at Whatcom Falls park. One of the rare treats of the afternoon was a trip to the Falls, which was a new sight to t h e majority of the girls. o In connection with the Ladies' Music club organization, Miss Grace Moore and Miss Maud Slawson of the Music department have been appointed joint chairmen for a program on Opera, which will be given in the Fine Arts building, next Wednesday. SPORTS FOR SPRING SHOW BIG TURNOUT FROM W.A.A. GROUP Speedball, Baseball/Handball, Tennis, and Archery Are the Sport Lineups for Women This Quarter. TWO WEEKS OF TECHNIQUE Spring sports have made their debut for the women athletics of the school and each night of the week sees sixty to ninety girls out doing their best with the racquet, or the bow, or what have you to offer. Baseball and archery call out the largest crowds, both having about thirty-five girls out. Baseball under Miss Mildred Jewell, on Tuesday and Thursday nights, shows some decided new talent, as well as that which the Sophomore class has to offer.

Strange noises, weird chants and incantations permeated the atmosphere of the auditorium Tuesday morning, when Bathie Stuart of New Zealand appeared before the student body with interpretations of the customs and folk lore of the Maori tribes of her native country. (Miss Stuart also gave an interesting talk about New Zealand and introduced a motion picture film showing the country and its people. v As Miss Stuart said, a great many Americans do not know much about New Zealand and-describe it carelessly as a "bunch of islands somewhere in, the Southern Pacific." Most people* think that New Zealand •and Australia are close together, whereas they are 1200 miles apart. i n her talk, Miss Stuart attempted to correct this impression and in so doing gave some unusual information about a section of the world with which few are acquainted. Interpreted Songs Following the conclusion of the motion picture film, Miss Stuart appeared in native Maori costume. I n this picturesque attire she performed a number of tribal dances, and sang a group of native songs, first singing them i n the Maori tongue and then translating them into English. Some of them were quite lovely, particularly the love songs, while others seemed to be almost ferocious. Judging from the applause which Miss Stuart received this was one of the most successful assemblies presented in some weeks. BRUBACHER SPEAKS BEFORE ASSEMBLY .Speaks on Differences Between • European..and American Schools; School Paid Library Compliment. : A. R. Brubacher, president of the New York State College for Teachers, was a speaker before the student body hi 'the -regular assembly, Friday, April 4. Mr. Brubacher chose as his subject the difference between European and American schools. He has just recently completed a study of the former, and so is well qualified to lecture upon the topic. The most striking difference which President Brubacher noted was the fact that in England and on the Continent only a select.few are permitted to enter institutions of higher learning and those few carefully picked, while in America we attempt to educate the masses. Consequently, the freshman in the European college is as far advanced as the junior or •senior in the American college. Mr. Brucbacher, however, declared that this was no reflection upon the American school system. It is merely due to a difference in aims. Praises Library An amusing instance, to American minds, was cited by the speaker in explaining the British system of ascertaining whether a student is in attendance. He said that roll is not taken in any of the classes but t h e student must dine in the dining hall. As long as a student dines "in hall" he is considered to be. attending school. I n closing his talk President Brubacher paid this school a fine compliment when he stated that Bellingham 'Normal's library was one of the best he had seen in any teachers' training college in the country. THE BARLOWS At a recent housemeeting, Vera McPherson was elected president, and Pansy Collier, social reporter.

One of the most beautiful organ numbers was "Cantilene", by Harry Rowe Shelley, a softly moving melody permeated by clear distant tones which came nearer and nearer until they disclosed harmonies low and richly colored. This was followed by "Fughetat", by Lemai-gre, a short piece, swift, light, and lively. Then came the peaceful and tranquil of "Chanson Joyeuse", by MacFarlane. Music which flooded the building with sounds sacred, lofty, and majestic was characterized by the "Second Suite", by James H. Rogers! and through it all Mr. Griffith displayed skill technically, and mentally an intensity of purpose. Mr. Helder gave a fine and earnest interpretation of sacred arias from works of Mendelssohn, and Dr. A. H. KNAAK Associated Dental Specialists 218 Mason Bldg. Cor. Railroad and Holly Training School sters Agriculturists Signs of the advent of spring-^-an army of small workers laboring in their garden on Huntoon Drive. The garden was started a year ago by the pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades in the Training school, and has been continued since then, in connection with their other school work. Before spring vacation, these young agriculturists journeyed to the plot to watch the earliest activities of the, ^perennial plants which had been planted last fall. They were very greatly thrilled to find several bold crocuses venturing above ground, and upon returning to their desks the second graders found the impulse to convert their experience into verse so strong that the following tribute to "Little Crocus" was evolved: "Little crocus, Little crocus, In your garden bed. Can you hear us calling? Do lift up your head". These words were set to music with Miss Grace Moore's help. Since vacation the children have been bringing seeds to school, germinating them in glass containers in sunny windows of the school room, and have correlated their class work; Some remarkably original artistic efforts have been the result of an hour's labor in the garden, and a great deal of practical information has been gained through the manual labor connected with the project. The tools used are strong and sturdy, but of a size adapted to the small hands and strength of little people. The soil has been spaded and raked bulbs cultivated and sweet peas planted, all by the children themselves. Interesting developments are expected by those who are watching the progress of this •unit of work. o The regular Thorndike Aptitude test was given to approximately fifty-five students last Thursday morning. All students who had not previously taken the test were required to do so. In the absence of Dr. Masters and Dr. Upshall the test was given by Miss Early with the assistance of Catherine Dess and Velma Hilson. The test required about an hour's time. disclosed a voice of strength with fine tonal qualities. "In the Time of Roses", by Reichardt, was a song fine in itself yet greatly enhanced through the voice of Mr. Helder.

MORE DETAILS DESIRED Suggestions Made as to Courses Needed by';-StudentsJn Summer. Round Table Talks Possible STUDENTS COLLECT VARIOUS ODDITIES AT CANADIAN CITY Faculty members from various departments of the school have expressed opinions on the value of the course survey to find the greatest needs of students who have been teaching, as well as, to what courses they feel seem needed through experiences with students who have taught. Faculty members are glad to learn the desires of the students not only from the standpoint of what to offer here in courses but also the nature of those needs. In an interview with Mr. Kibbe, of the Education department, the idea that a survey was-a step in revealing what the students want during the summer session was expressed. Mr. Kibbe believes that the faculty wants to give people what they want. However, students cannot expect to learn hard and fast devices to be used in their own situations, but rather to adapt the general principles to their particular situations. Students who have taught for a good many years and crave new ideas should adapt the new principles to the ideas they already have. Mr. Kibbe said that he thought most students' during the summer session want an opportunity to be guided in a search for. the truth. That the questionnaire is a good beginning in determining students' needs is the opinion of Miss Ragland, Technique teacher. She believes that a more detailed study would be of greater .value and that in the future a questionnaire where the student was asked to check first, second and third choice on a list of possible courses could be used to great advantage, for through such a form we could find what part of the program, of a student would be spent in certain type's of work. Round Tables The value of round table discussions is' evident to Miss Gummins, who believes that such meetings could fill a large part in the life of the student who lias had experience in teaching. Miss Cummins said i during an interview, "Possibly, we ought to plan some informal round table discussions led by some members of the' faculty on such live topics as current politics, international relations, questions of religion from the sociological point of view, social questions, school organization, student self-government, community problems and perhaps personal experiences of students in their school work. At such a discussion students might talk and exchange ideas without having made any preparation." This type of work might be incorporated into, a program for the summer much on the same plan as the present recreational program. Mr. Fowler, when questioned on the neds of students, expressed an opinion that students who are teaching need a liberal education which will give them a cultural background. With this type of education teachers should be able to apply that background to their work. General methods and technique have a place in the program of a student's study but the greater need,, is for cultural courses is his opinion.'- Mr. Fowler said in regard to the questionnaire, "Student participation in determining the neds of the curriculum is a good policy." - Express Themselves "It is worthwhile to give students a- chance to express them selves," said President Fisher when interviewed on this topic. That the questionnaire, has' a value in that it starts students to think and gives something- to work .s gt;n,;. is his opinion. "It is rat. least worthy of consideration in planning a program^for; next gt;.sum''-' ' 3 r t C T # ; ; ^ ; ' ^ - ; ! ' ' r ; ^ ^ '•'•/;*//" Snapshots reminiscent of seasickness, dainty knicknacks from some Chinatown .shop, assorted sunburned noses, and souvenirs of Victoria were added to student collections last Saturday, July 14. Leave at Seven Promptly at seven a. m. the big bass whistle of the Indianapolis sounded and the moorings were cast off. The next three hours were spent in deck games, music, enjoying the scenery, munching candy (sold by the firm of Barney and Mary, assisted by Carrie Anna) and being seasick. No reports as to the why of seasickness could be gained; the water was not rough, the swells coming into the Straits were almost imperceptible to the eye—but most effective. Reactions to the candy offered after the Straits had been passed indicated that at least half of the passengers had been affected. Cries of "Taxi", "See the famous Butchart Gardens" "Take the wonderful Marine Drive, back at two-thirty", welcomed the Normalites to the island capitol at a little before eleven o'clock. Landing was made at the dock just below the parliament buildings and across the harbor from the well-known Empress Hotel. Many Take Tours From there, by twos and three's and seven's and ten's, the sighteers scattered over the city. Some took the Butchart Garden tour and spent an hour or so looking at one of the finest collection of plants in the world, plants which, have been brought from all over the earth, and at a sunken. garden hidden by cliffs of limestone, jewelled with fairy lakes and fairy lawns. Some took the Marine Drive, visited Chinatown, a real, honest-to-goodness castle, a garden full of strange plants grown or trimmed in strange shapes, a live polar bear, and saw many beautiful views of the island and the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Seeing the City Afoot Other students, struggling with financial difficulties, courageously started out to see the city afoot. Reports seem to prove that seeing Victoria afoot is quite as interesting as seeing it in any "rubber-neck bus". Chinatown, oodles of shops, the Empress Hotel, the "Bobbies" (policemen), Crystal Gardens, the Provincial Museum, the Parliamentary buildings, Japanese school, and residences lovely and quaint. Toward six o'clock a tired and footsore but apparently happy crowd drifted back to the Indianapolis and settled themselves to rest in the roomy deck chairs. Moorings were soon cast and the big boat headed out of the little harbor into the Straits. The committee in charge evidently had a bright idea that they might save on food, for just as the swells, began to make the old boat sway, supper was announced. Their plan, if such it was, proved an utter failure, for almost no one was seasick on the home voyage and the comfortable noise of eating mingled with the squeaks of the ship as she lifted to the swell. Dancing on deck was the main feature of the home trip. It lasted from seven until the lights of Bel-lingham peering in through the upper windows caused the crowcj, to disperse in search of coats, hats and souvenirs. • Party Of Students Arid Faculty Leaves for Baker This Morning Botany Class from Friday Harbor Goes Along tpj Study Plant Life as Found in Mountains of This Section. Mr. Bond is Leader for the Hikers. I Contest Ends July 26 Mr. Fowler, Miss Druse, and Miss Peters will be the judges of the posters entered in the contest now being sponsored by the advertising staff of "The Merchant of Venice", Drama club production for this quarter. The contest, which opened last Thursday, July 12, will close next Thursday, July 26. Any student in school is elig-able to enter a poster in ,the contest . These posters must not be less than 15 by 22 inches, and may not be those which are used or have ever been used as class projects... There are no further qualifications for entrance but the posters will be judged on the following points: fitness of purpose, arrangement, color, wording, contrasts, simplicity. Prizes offered are: first, a five-pound box of chocolates; second, .- a framed Japanese print; ....third, two reserved tickets to "The Merchant of Venice." Winners of these prizes will be announced in assembly Tuesday, '"July 31. A large party of students and faculty members left the campus by stage at shortly after five oclock this morning, bound for Glacier, fvul-shan Cabin, and the summit of Mount Baker, on the Normals annual climb of the mountain. Miss Sundquist and her botany class, from Friday. Harbor, who are making the trip to study plant life in the Mount Baker district, accompanied them. Late Thursday afternoon, fifty-two persons were signed up to make the trip, so at least that number, was expected to leave this morning, with several additions probable. - - _— E. A. Bond, mathematics instructor, who will lead the climb up Baker, expects it to be comparatively easy, if the weather remains as cool as it has been the past few days. It may be possible, he says, to go right over the Roman Walls, instead of around it, as usual, because the wall is completely covered with snow. With such excellent conditions on the mountain, he believes that everyone who attempts the climb should have no trouble in making it. • The hike from. Glacier to Kulshan Cabin, which is to be the base of operations, was to be made today, with the main group scheduled to make the cabin by about" three o'clock. Since a new trail is being built by the forest service above the eight-mile post, this will be the last school to travel over the hard last two miles of the old trail. The climb of Baker will be staged tomorrow, with the party leaving for the summit early in the morning, reaching it about two o'clock, and returning by supper time. T h e return to Glacier will be made Sunday afternoon, with the usual feed awaiting the returning hikers. Duties have been apportioned among the faculty members in charge as follows: Mr. Salisbury and Miss Rosene, meals, etc.; Miss Peters and Miss Skalley, cars of girls; Mr. Bond, the climb.

Ernest Banner REPORTERS Elsie Holland Carrie Crippen Christine Fredrickson Calvin Nichols Dorothy Sasse W H A T ' S T H E M A T T E R? "Schoolteachers? They act more like ill-bred children" would seem to us to be the comment of an observing outsider who saw the actions of members of our student body at assemblies during the quarter and at Dr. Losey's reading of "Hamlet" Tuesday evening. "Someone deserves a bawling out" would be our answer. For something certainly has been wrong with most of us at a majority of the programs we have attended in the auditorium this quarter. For the first four weeks of the quarter, we exhibited our bad manners by walking out of the auditorium while entertainers were in the midst of numbers or by rushing for the nearest exit at the close of a program, not waiting to see if our entertainer had yet left the stage, and never thinking of an encore. Then, one day, President Fisher told us that we had exhibited bad manners in assemblies, told us what was expected of lis. "Good children do as they are told", so, lo and behold, at the very next assembly, loud and almost boisterous applause greeted the young ladies who happened to be giving a musical program at the time we waited in our seats until the young ladies left the stage, then more wonders—we proceded to,-continue our^ applause until the young ladies returned and gave us an encore. "Those children are acquiring some manners at last," that observing outsider might then have said.. But bad manners will show themselves, the saying goes. And Tuesday evening they did. All during Dr. Losey's reading of Shakespeare, interruptions took place when some of us with excedingly bad manners got up and left the hall. Those of us who left were very quiet as we did so, but even then we were bound to detract from the attention given Dr. Losey, to say nothing of disturbing him. Perhaps we didn't know that we were exhibiting our bad manners, that we were doing what only very ill-bred children would do, what school teachers ought, never to do. Perhaps those people who exhibited their bad manners were only members of a small minority of students who had gotten out of step with things cultural. Perhaps they only had suffered a temporary lapse of good conduct, and would yet show that they were more than the children they sometimes seem to be. Perhaps, then, there is some hope that a few weeks hence, should that same observing outsider mentioned above return, he would see a vastly changed assembly audience, one that really did justice to Bellingham Normal, and no longer acted as no well-bred audience would think of doing.

To Chester Reese we leave three feminine sweaters and two feminine raincoats, and the full rights of carrying the same. ' •' To Harold Houlton we leave the ability to sleep through all three bells. Also an empty tent and a box of paper to empty. To Mr. Wayne W. Wells we leave one yellowjacket nest, with full instructions for the efficient use of the same. To take the child where lie is, and help him to reach his normal age, is the work of the students who take Remedial Work, Ed. 10S, with Miss Erickson. The course just completed had twenty-three students enrolled. They assisted approximately forty children taken from schools in various parts of the city and recommended by the principals of the different schools. 'Children were taken from grades one to nine inclusive, and were here for remedial work only in the subjects suggested by the princpals. Eight of the children attended the training school. The children were first given a standardized test in the subject in which they needed help in order to locate the difficulties, classify them and find the cause of those difficulties. All children were given a standardized test in reading. The next procedure, the above information gained, was to eradicate the difficulties insofar as possible. The children were started with simple material. The regular program of work consisted of first, testing; second, diagnosis: third, teaching;, fourth, drilling; and fifth, testing again to note change. This program was repeated with the idea in mind of bringing the child as near" to his normal age as possible. A total of twenty-four half hours , was spent with each child in the six weeks period; At the conclusion of this period student teachers compiled case histories which included a life history of the child a summary of the difficulties, causes, treatment, results, things left to be done, tests, and charts of the progress made. • Throughout the work an effort was made to help the child to find, his error and then have him try' to break his own-record. An example of progress may be taken from the child who at the time he'-started-was. 10.6 in grade age in addition of fractions and 14.6 at the close of the period. The same child progressed from 10 to 14.8 in subtraction of fractions. On an average an improvement is. made of one grade in the particular subject, . w h i l e the ' range of progress made from one-half year to four .years. •;:';;;-;v:.Renie(lial , work has/ a -vtwo-fold u .value. To^,^ the correction of faults or bad habits or wrong associations. To the teacher the value is an educational one in.fhivt jit puts into use actual experiirlents and tests' various educational theories. The purposes .of the case history corn-piled by the student are to get the .student'' who works with the child to appreciate the difficulties in progress, for future use, provides an insight to possible work to be done, and last it will stimulate an appreciation of reports that are written. The course acquaints students with standardized and achievement tests. Once during the quarter a lesson from each teacher is taken by a stenographer thus giving the student teacher an opportunity to see what has been done during the period and to assist them in correcting their errors. o The Junior Viking, quarterly periodical of the training school, published by the English class of the eighth grade, recently appeared for this quarter. The paper this summer represents the best work of the English classes and was under the guidance of Miss Florence Guitteau, student teacher. The Junir Viking, presents materials from all grades and is a regular feature of training school work. The organization of the paper includes an editorial staff staff and reporters. Each grade has a reporter for the paper. The issue this quarter includes editorials, current event stories, poems, room notes, themes, cartoons, jokes and a section devoted to'the eighth grade featuring a class prophesy, will and roll. No corrections were made in the work of the pupils. Practically all material was written within the first two weeks of the quarter in order that it reach the printer in plenty of time. Consequently the paper is not really a summary of the events of this quarter. Children in the eighth grade during the summer quarter come from all parts of the city and are not acquainted with the work of the Junior Viking, thus making it difficult to put out a representative paper during the summer. Enthusiasm for the paper this summer was at a high pitch thus partially balancing the deficiency in familiarity with the project due to the different group of students. :Y . ' . . - . - .

The score was close throughout the entire game and was tied at seven all when the Busters came in for their last turn at bat and drove in the winning run. The Kranks started off * as if this was their day, getting four runs in the first inning. Van Etten landed on first when his infield hit was muffed, Okerlund connected for two bases, and both runs came in when Hayes' hit was fumbled. Franz doubled and Anderson • connected for two bases, bringing in Hayes and Franz. Bieghle's warriors came back in their half and accounted for three runs. Bond got on on an error, and advanced to second on Church's single; Buthruff and Bieghle were given passes to first and later scored on Jewells' two-base hit. A double play, executed Schneider to Hayes, caught Bond at home plate and prevented another run. Van Etten and Kure accounted for twro runs for the Kranks in the second inning and held the Busters scoreless in their half. In the last half of the fourth Beighle's Busters lived up to their name and busted the ball to all corners of the field. Jewell tripled, Norby connected for two bases, Boynton was safe when his hit was bobbled, and they all came in to the bench via home plate when Bond's fluke home run was lost in the grass of right field. With the game tied up seven all in the Buster's half of the last inning, they put the game on ice when Ruth-ruff and Bieghle singled and scored when Jewell connected for his third hit of the day in as many trips to the plate. Buthruff pitched a nice game for the winners, striking out seven of the men that faced him. Hoggatt was wild at times but kept the hits fairly well scattered throughout most of the game. iKure the Kranks' skipper, turned in a nice game at short, handling five hard chances without a bobble. ' The line-up for Biegihe's Busters was: Bond, second base; Church, third; Schneider, shortstop; Buthruff, pitcher; Bieghle, catcher; E. Jewell, centerfield; Norby, left field; Duncan, right field: Boynton, first base. Substitutes; Brotnov for Stewart and Kure for Sims. Evelyn CraW Features Girl's Tennis Tourney With Four-Rung Climb Contestants in the women's tennis tournament are gradually adjusting themselves in their natural order as the tourney passes its half-way mark. Evelyn Craw, who was placed near the bottom of the ladder by the opening draw, featured last week's play by moving up four rungs on the ladder. The standings of the tournament Wednesday morning were: Grace Hess, Winifred Dalgity, Virginia Bever, Francis Heron, Vera Ivreish-er, Orlena Moore, Vivian Tubbs, Carolyn Barron, Helen Primley, Margaret Fisher, Evelyn Craw, Leila Honey, Helen Sullivan, Helen ITel-lend, Leta Eathman, Ethel Heath, and Wenonah Sullivan. -o Women's Handball B OTTLED y BOND The weaker sex is evidently finding handball too masculine a sport for them to take part in. At least the number of matches being played in the women's intramural handball tournament would indicate that fact. In the only match of the past week, Jeannette Heath defeated Eugenia lleffernan by a score of 21-5, 21-7. The standings on the ladder Wednesday: Ethel Heath, Francis Heron, Winifred Dalgity. Mildred White, Hazel Laughlin, Jeannette Heath, Vera Kreisher, Eugenia lleffernan, Margaret Fisher, Kathleen Skalley, Theresa Powdermaker. o— : Hints to Hikers 1 2 3 4 Kure's Kranks 4 2 0 1 B.

Avhich attracts a great deal of interest, was borne out at the regular Monday afternoon women's turnout, there being two new girls present at the regular Monday turnout. An enthusiastic group was on hand to take part in this medieval sport. Ada Wilson, who was at the top of the ladder last week, is still firmly entrenched in her elevated position, with a score.-of ,106. Her nearest rival, Fern Walter, registers' a 73. Mildred White, who was seventh on the ladder, is now thirdvwith a.45. The most spectacular move was made by Ethel Heath, who was next to the bottom. She is now fourth with, a-score of 35. 'The two new archers, Ida Knutzen and Paith Henderson, have placed tenth and thirteenth respectively. The contestants and their scores are: Oda Wilson, 106; Fern Walter, 73;' Mildred White, 45; Ethel Heath, 35; Marjorie Stevenson, 31; ; Shephana.

He is footloose and free. He can go where neither boat, auto, nor horse can, and sees the most inaccessible places that have the strongest lure for anyone who loves unspoiled nature." Many hikers have narrow ideas of the possibilities which lie in the activity and fail to appreciate that mere walking is a minor part of tlfe hike. They are too apt to look upon it as an endurance test of covering distance or living up to a schedule. The interesting possibilities for recreation, for joy, for satisfaction, and pleasure are often overlooked. If one would gain lasting benefits and satisfactions, there must be careful planning and consideration in all phases of the hike. 1. Each person must know his own •'•'machine" himself. Before attempting a long hike, a physical examination is necessary. Shorter hikes should be taken to test endurance. 2. Foot gear is most important. High boots are absolutely essential to avoid turning ankles on loose rocks or coming down from a steep climb. The shoes should be well broken in. jSTew shoes should never be worn on a long hike but should be tried out on some shorter hikes and walks. They should fit closely around the arch and instep and be evenly laced across the instep. They should have roomy toes and be easily long enough. • No boot is water proof unless it is greased before and after .- each hike. Boots should not be. put away with hiking mud on them. 3. A light weight pair of hose, preferably silk, and a pair of wool socks are' recommended. Stockings should be long enough and free from darns and holes. 4. "Prevention" should be the motto as regards blisters. Feet should be taped at places of contact or "special sensitivity. "At first sign of foot trouble, stop and investigate." If blister has already, formed, care must be taken to drain it properly and apply a very thin, even pad of cotton between gauze fastened with adhesive. ' 5. In planning the rest of the outfit, one must anticipate changing weather conditions.. One should be ready for rain or sunshine. Clothing should be of as light weight as possible, while still providing necessary, warmth against sudden chill or long day on the trail. 6. To protect face from sunburn, cold creami or other grease may be used.- In snow work grease paint is necessary; : J '^fc^U^'''-!-^ £ ';•"'• - '^A:'^, THE BRAVE BOLD INDIANAPOLIS DID A NOBLE BIT OF WORK WHEN IT CARRIED SIX HUNDRED VIKINGS AND VIQUEENS INTO THE LAND OF PERPETUAL SUNSHINE, , MOONSHINE, / OR WHAT DID YOU GET? » * - •» * * The characters of the Normalites remain unmarred as we all arrived home with clear visions and steady steps?

This course, which is divided into two periods of six weeks each, has become one of the' most popular courses offered especially as the teaching of the History of Washington is being emphasized in the curriculum of the elementary schools throughout the state. The first six weeks period of this class included a study of the early explorations of the Pacific,, extending down to the exploration and settlement of Washington. The early claims of the English, Russian, Spanish and United States governments together with the disputes that arose over these conflicting claims and their final settlement, make an interesting study. The last several days of the class work was devoted to a summary of the industrial problems of the Northwest. Mr. Bever states that the last six weeks instruction will start with the westward movement from Missouri and, will trace the journeys of the early pioneers over the Lewis and Clark, Santa Fe, Mormon and other trails. The Indian policy followed here in the Northwest has always been a debatable question and some time will be spent studying the causes of the numerous conflicts that ai-ose between the whites and the red men and the treaties that resulted. The gold rush •to California followed by those of the Fraser river valley, Idaho and finally the Yukon will be other bright lights that will be included in the last half of the course. Midsummer registration shows a number of new students registering for the largest of the summer ses-essentials. Twenty pounds of raffia decked the punch booth like a Hawaiian hut built beneath a large palm. Blue and pink lights cast dim colors on the orchestra which was partly-concealed behind palm trees. Due to the absence of a moon and the presence of a mellow yellow light in the hall, it is assumed that the scene was Hawaii by sunlight. The affair was financially a success, so the custom of a summer in-formal. is likely to obtain in the future. OREGON CLUB PICNICS Members of the Oregon club went to Squalicum Beach, Thursday evening, where all enjoyed a weiner roast, swimming, horseshoe games, and dancing. Mr. Bond, the club sponsor, led an interesting discussion game to Oregon history, in which some very unique facts were brought, out. Next week on Tuesday evening, Winifred Dalgity, club president, and Elsie'Holland, will be joint hostesses at an old-fashioned party, given for members of the club and their friends. of Seattle, with her. o- Mrs. Collett, her daughter Margaret Collett, Mrs. Ray, her daughter Ruthana Ray, and guests, Miss Anna Buck and Robert Wolf; Misses Iola Mandall, Constance Frieling; Ethel Heath, Jeanette Heath, Gladys Carlson, Ella Thostenson, Alice Taylor, and Selma Myhr, went on the trip to Victoria, Saturday. 0 , DOKKEN HALL The following girls from Dokken hall visited Victoria Saturday: Miss Edythe Matson, Miss Grage Kein-stad, Miss Laura and Miss Helen Lofthus. o FORMER STUDENT WEDS Miss Lena Rucker, a Bellingham graduate, became the bride of Mr. Louis Miller of Everett at the Lutheran Church of Everett, June 30.

He has worked for recognition, ; for appropriations, for the granting of degrees and has endeavored to S e c u r e the best of educators in the faculty; Bellingham Normal is no ^lon|er a school that girls rush through to get an elementary certificate gt; ahdi dash out into the most important of professipns-^rteaching. Because ': of the; requirements, it is no longer a "cheap" two-year college for men students. It now means something worth while to be a graduate of Bel-rjingliam State Normal. ': ;;;;;;f I t / i s - : well' to think, "What are ^ we, ^as a 'student body doing to ^ raise the reputation / of the Nj gt;r- S^ rdaA7": We are all extremely ; sensitive^ to- social approval. Are we individually, smiling and smirk- Jy ing at conduct that is hot up to par? ' Dp we think it is clever to be just '•','• gt; aVlittle fast? Dp we envy the _; girls^yho are getting by in spite of the fact; they continually break £ rulei? What is your attitude when ^sdmebne recounts;a bit of clever ••dishonesty he. puts over? ;; ] If pur ideals are high enough, ••^^^ve'.-wiir^-npt- tolerate any conduct ^ but the best. It will not be left to X*hedeans to keep us walking the ^straight and narrow :path. Persons who cannot "get by" with their lax ways^ who cannot meet Asocial ^approval in lpose manners, will soon change their course, or get put. We, ourselves, are responsible for the moral tone of our school. Let us hold our ideals so ; high that we gt; cannot do questionable:; thins, cannot countenance gt; others whose standards are lower, Vri until Bellihgham has a reputation ; fori behaviour that ranks high in a B class of cultured, well-educated, ^professional people. has been prevalent in a minor degree. In the recent age of freedom and the automobile, it has burst into a bigger and more spectacular flame than ever. The boy or girl who is willing to pet any pne whp is fairly good-looking and very agreeable, knows in his heart that he is in the wrong. The practices he employs belong to the climax and not to the habitual. But he simply has not the moral stamina to resist temptation. The philosophers of today sit back in their chairs and sigh that we are "rushing too fast," that there are too many things in the world of today. It is a certain false sophistication, and a lack of wide-awake interest in other things that leads young people to "neck." Most young boys and.girls think it is "smart" or fun to pet. And they will continue to do so until something else a little more fascinating is discovered. l ^ y ^ ^ ; i !

The terminology in which the law is phased is simple and understandable; those who disregard i ts intent have no excuse on that account. The statute in question, so deplorably neglected by students of the school, is to the effect that smoking is forbidden on all state grounds. On the tennis courts, on the main walk, on every nook and corner of the campus, this type of law breaker abides, gracing his path with cigarette stubs as he tread blithely on his way. !' . . Sehome Hill proves an excellent, recluse for some students* and faculty members as they find pleasure in their favorite brand of cigarette while escaping the dulness of the classroom. Instead of running a mile, they linger on the ; lower western slopes of the scenic pathway where Training and Normal 'students may profit by their prodigious example.

Com parative records indicate that the Vikings have an even chance of winning in all spring sports at the Annual Tri-Normal melee scheduled for May 21st. Our baseball team is deemed one of the strongest in "recent years. They tangle with Cheney here in two games, one scheduled for Friday, May 20, and the other. for the day following. More will be known of our prospects in Normal competition after next _ Saturday's game with Ellensburg.: The Vikings have two reliable pitchers, Patterson, a veteran, and Eddie Winegard, erstwhile University of Southern California student, IIOAV sojourning here. Last year's outfield was considerably stronger. Lack of hitting strength makes this department the one real weakness on. this .year's squad, but the Ave'akness is" not serious enough to endanger our chances for the Tri-Normal baseball championship. Tennis Sure Bet Local tennis teams have won the tri-normal championship practically every year since the sport has been a part of the annual spring sports jubilee, and there is little reason to believe- that this year's outfit will fail to maintain the record of their predecessors. Early season forecasts heralded the Viking trio as one of exceptional merit, but defeat. by the University of Washington Frosh somewhat cooled student enthusiasm. However, the Vikings have one man capablevof maintaining his. own in Nelson Robinson, young right-hander who holds number one position. Robinson has yet to lose a set in tournament competition to his local rivals. - Billy Newkirk, former state boy champion and finalist in last year's Junior Championship mastered Robinson 6-3; 6-4 in the recent Frosh duel. Track Doubtful Earnest compilators have expended considerable effort in gathering data on the three rival track teams. Bell-ingham's squad is admittedly weak and it is in track that the real battle for Tri-Normal superiority will be -waged. Time records give Bellingliam a slight edge, and optimists proclaim that the local squad will garner enough points to assure a narrow victory. A complete compilation of the probable winners in each.event has been prepared by local sports critic. His prediction of the final result is: Bellingliam 55; Ellensburg 49; Cheney 32.

XXIX—NO. 20 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, Nov. 22, 1929$ Normalite | * I HOMECOMING SMOKER FOOTBALL FORUM —Roy Sundstro•m I . Well, that's over. Another Homecoming' has passed and the Old Grads have been here and gone. Handshaking, backslapping—a football game—a dance. The lost game —the mournful weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth by t he Grads —an unreal sort of sentimentality, queerly out of character for grownup, adult individuals such as these people are supposed to be. Old acquaintances assuming the guise of friends in the hysteria of t h e moment; people who had nver liked one another suddenly bursting out with protestations :.of extreme pleasure at meeting. Torchlight parades, milling crowds, frenzied yelling— songs—emotion—savagery and childhood bursting through the t h i n crust of civilization and manhood. Dear old Normal—The White and Blue—the old Campus—the Old This and t he Good Old That— Alma Mater—Homecoming. Heh- Heh! Heh! W. S. N. S. BEUINGHAM HIRE SYMPHONY ID ITS SECOND SEASON Concert on Next Tuesday Evening in Normal Auditorium Is to be of the Highest Type of Music. THIRTY MEMBERS OF SCIENCE CLASS MAKE* TRIPS TO TIDE-FLATS EIGHT NORMAL STUDENTS Orchestra Was Organized by Harold B. Smith Last Year. Three Concerts Have Been Presented. That isn't at all the way I feel about it, of course, but I am a cynic (or so they tell me). And what good is a sentimental Cynic who forgets to sneer? W. S. N. S. And this evening, ladies and gentlemen, we have the biggest dance of the year. The Mens Club Informal. If I have exchanged any dances with you who read this— kindly tip me off. I have mislaid my program again. -W. S. N. S.- After the dance—the deficit. But this time we may break even. However, just in case the Men's Club finds itself in the hole when all is over? it is putting on a smoker in t h e near future. It is going to be a very good smoker, too (though, of course, there will be no smoking). "'Young Firpo" will head the card with some boy who can give him a battle. In addition to the main event, there will be three other boxing bouts and three wrestling bouts, all of which will be well worth seeing. And t h e admission will be only two-bits. "Modern Football Becomes Splotch on College Ideals" reads a head in the "Business Chronicle". Blah! This matter has been viewed with alarm for so long that it seems high time to do something about it. The article I have mentioned points out that the average football coach receives $949 per year more than the average professor. Now, this is indeed a deplorable situation and something should be done about it. My suggestion is a state bounty to be paid for the ears of newspaper and magazine writers who continue to scrape out discords from this worn string. For my part, I'd rather not hear any more about it. The Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Harold B. Smith of the Bellingham Normal Music department, will open its second season with an evening concert in the Normal auditorium next Tuesday evening, November 26, at 8:20. Forty-Seven Members The orchestra now consists of forty-seven musical artists, and has been holding regular practice in preparation for this concert for some time. Since it now possesses a full symphonic instrumentation, it is prepared to offer a program of the highest type of music, and to do full justice to' t he difficult numbers included, among which are the famous "Symphony in G Minor", by Mozart; and Beethoven's beautiful "Egmont Overture". The orchestra was first organized by Mr. Smith at the beginning of last season, and under his direction presented three very successful concerts. It was established as a civic organization, and has grown steadily in size and quality since its start. At present its membership includes eight Normal students. The charges for admission at Tuesday evening's "concert will be fifty cents for students, and seven-ey- five cents for those outside the school. Last Sunday evening, Leona M. Sundquist of the Science department and about thirty members of her elementary science class, made a trip to t h e tide-flats below South Bellingham to study sea life. They made their trip at this time in order to take advantage of t h e unusually low tide and absence of wind that distinguished the evening. Almost three hours were spent in splashing and slipping about by the light of flashlights, searching for interesting types of sea life. Miss Sundquist reports that their quest 6th Annual Homecoming Summarized BOND'S—"I THINK WE'LL WIN" HOMECOMING THEME * if * * * * * # Spirit Reappears in Week-end Thrills The sixth annual Homecoming, in spite of mother nature's protest in the form of rain, was one of the most successful ever presented by the Bellingham Normal. Activities began Friday evening with a serpentine in which over 500 students participated. Led by t he Viking pep band, the crowd\of enthusiastic students left Edens Hall and paraded through the city cen-was gratifyingly successful, and that j ter. Carrying flares, laughing, cheering, the group gathered on the corner of Cornwall and Holly streets, where yells and. pep songs were led by Lyle Markhart and Jack Musser, then all returned to t h e big bonfire on the new athletic field. Here the students heard speeches from President C. H. Fisher, Mr. E. A. Bond, Coaches Sam Carver, Royal E. Gunn, Mark Saunders, and Don Stickney. Saturday noon, a luncheon was held in t h e Edens Hall dining room, which was pronounced a decided they discovered a most unusuai number of starfish, considering the space they covered. Since the evening was ideally clear for star study, some time was spent in that occupation, in noting the disappearance of the summer stars and t he appearance of the winter stars. o PROMINENT LOCAL ARTISTS TO OFFER RECITAL OF SONGS success under the direction of Ethel Boynton, general chairman, and her two assistants, Mildred Kent and Gladys Smith. Following the luncheon, the football game between the Vikings and Ellensburg- was called in Waldo Fild at 2:15. On a field suddenly transformed into a lake by a steady downpour of rain, the teams battled for. three and a half quarters without scoring when finally a blocked punt put Ellensburg in scoring territory which resulted in a touchdown on the next play by means of a triple pass. Dance Follows Banquet At 6 o'clock,. Saturday evening, the alumni banquet was held at Eden's hall. The main address was given by President C. H. Fisher and the banquet closed in time for all the grads to attend the Homecoming dance at the Armory. The festivities were well-managed by Joe Hermsen, general manager, and his assistant, Dorothy Sasse. THREE FROM NORMAL HEAR DR.

To even enumerate the many industries that contribute their share to the Viking would r e quire more space than there is in this column.

Eight new members were initiated into the Scholarship Society, Monday evening, November 18, at Rock Point Inn. Following an attractively served dinner, Mr. Edward Arntzen, advisor of the Society, acted as master of ceremonies, and the initiation was conducted. Not following the usual initiating custom of "riding the goat" this ceremony consisted of psychological tortures, and required extremely nimble brains. It was r e ported that all of those initiated proved themselves quite worthy of being members. Guests from the faculty were: Miss Emma Erickson, and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick. The new members initiated were: Mildred Kent, Dora Caldwell, Margaret Sheppard, Jean Philippi, Elizabeth Ellis, Bessie Huntamer, Katherine Hunt, and Elsie Canfield.

Oliver spoke to the International Relations club and the Faculty Forum on the present situation in China. Mr. Oliver has been engaged in social work in China for 15 years and is able to give a very intimate picture of conditions there. The hero of the recent revolution and founding of a republic in China was Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, a man of great vision and intelligence who r e ceived his education in this country and also studied political economy in Europe. Sun-Yat-Sen had as his platform first that China must be unified, second that the unequal treaties must be revised, and third, that the social- conditions of his people must be bettered. Works Out Action Plan I n order to carry out his platform he formulated a definite plan of action, the first step of which was a revolution to force the Manchu rulers to abdicate and haying done this to prepare the people for ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 November 22 - Page 2 ---------- pyfe^S.^': WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH OOL; BELTINGHAM; WASHINCTTON The Northwest Viking Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published weekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

D. Showalter, has recently pointed out a few changes effected by the State Board of Education in its raising of Normal school standards. These changes are quite drastic for they affect hundreds if not thousands of contemporary teachers all over the state. Instead of two years required for an elementary certificate, three years will be expected beginning 1933. And for the advanced certificate, five years will be the new requirement. -• "There are more than one thousand unemployed teachers in the state," Dr. Showalter said, in explaining the reasons for the change. "These are nearly evenly divided between the elementary and the high school teachers. The five state teachers' training institutions—the three Normal schools, the State University, and the State College—are now preparing and educating 8 3 per cent of all the new teachers in the state. "This is a complete reversal of conditions a decade ago, when the state department of Education was issuing 80 per cent of the certificates upon accreditations from other states. "Since the first of January this department has signed 4,300 certificates and diplomas. "With such an over-supply of teachers it became a question of whether the five teacher training institutions should continue to turn out teachers with the lower standard requirements to supply the adjoining states where teachers are in demand, or use the institutions more largely to increase the training efficiency of the teaching corps of this state. "The Board of Education decided upon the latter course. It accordingly adopted what we call the 'step-up* plan of higher standards of teachers' training for service in the public schools. This is on the basis of three additional quarters of training to be completed by 1933. "This plan will be applied to all present as well as future teachers in both the high school and elementary schools, excepting those now holding life certificates. Thus after 1933, both old and new teachers will have the additional three-quarters of training".

MARK U P A SCORE F O R T H E MEN As the old saying goes—"Every dog has his day" so now the men make their bow with an Informal tonight in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Leopold. About this time, there is always the little undercurrent of defensive arguments between the men and women of the school as to whose Informal will be the most successful. We will not make any statements pro or con, in regard to the matter, however, one thing that we are certain of is this; The Women's League Informal could never have been the success it was, had none of the men attended, and we dare the men to call their dance successful—sans women!

Mr. Eggnogg was born in San Francisco on the day of the big earthquake and invariably offers that cheerful fact as an excuse for not having his library instruction completed. During his first five years of study in the freshman class here, Egbert has established a most unique, outstanding, and challenging record. He has never yet, tc date, been on time for his 9 o'clock!

It is an organization expressly for the school; its interests are yours, therefore give it loyal support. Attend some of their business meetings held every Wednesday afternoon and we are sure you will be agreeably surprised at the amount of work really done for the benefit of the students. The new pencil sharpeners, one in the Conversation room and the other in the Study Hall, and the new football suits for the boys tell what kind of an organization the Students' Association is. ...."The attention of the students is called to the fact thai two new pencil sharpeners, the gift of the Students' Association, have appeared for their use, one in room 1 7, and the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 November 22 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL^ . ..,W'X«: lt;5rtv.ff4'S#»3_..,„ Sport ;V'-:\cr;S^2giP» ^A«? *SE^ '!;' -fe iv^^^ilS^^ '•*•?«'j'f'F Wildcats Take Tri-Normal Title iimmmmmmmjmmmmm By BERT yijVWiiVfyjiv^iWJiWJ'Mi'^^^i^Witv 77HS Writting a column is certainly getting to be a task especially since our football season is over, and the name of my "bunk" is "Criditorials". Would someone be kind enough to suggest a better name for this column and hand it to me, C. O. D. ? * * o * * Before the Ellensburg - Viking game the Wildcats figured to have a 25-0 margin via the comparative score route. Something is wrong somewhere, the final score was 6-0. * * o * * Did you ever expect this from Santa Clara's eleven heroes of the day. Well, we didn't either, until last Saturday, when it seems the impossible was accomplished. It was some large task for the little school to conquer "Pop" Warner's Stanford Cardinals. Now, if they could only have a chance with the University of Pennsylvania. * * 0 * * Now, that this year's football contests have ben written down as past history, scribes up and down the Coast are beginning to look for prospects for the mythical all-Coast team. And it looks as if the University of Washington will be able to nominate three candidates, namely, Hufford, halfback; Schwegler, tackle, and Cregor, guard. Despite the fact that Washington failed to win a conference game, these men have displayed no mean ability in the fundamentals of the game. Merle Hufford has been the Huskies' only scoring threat all season, showing up especially well against Stanford and California. Schwegler and Cregor .also out-played their southern rivals and Would be a threat on any man's team. California's Big Three, Stanford, California, and U. S. C , will probably furnish most of the material for this team, with Washington Stale lind Oregon also having several outstanding stars. * * o * * •nech Bagshaw, Washington mentor, is piloting his squad in their last game of the season against the University of'Chicago. Baggy is out tm close his grid career in a blaze •f glory and would like nothing better than a win over Chicago. * S Q * * According to the old, old ,, traditions, the Vikings are supposed to be very good swimmers, while on the other hand the wildcats are "supposed" to be shy of water. It seems as though Roy Sandberg had iaaght his team the Australian crawl, to be used only in emergen-cgt.. During the latter part of the game, when both teams were in Water, Sandberg's charges opened up with their Australian crawl and crossed the goal line for the only . touchdown made. * * o * * VIKINGS LOSE GAME TO WILDCAT TEAM 6 TO 0 ON BREAKS Tricky Triple Pass After Blocked Punt Gives Visiting Ellensburg Eleven a Last-Minute Victory . RODGERS MAKES SCORE Because of lack of football babble, I will devote a small part of my eolumn to the Men's Club. The Men's club is about to ac- •onplish something that has never been attempted before in the his- Ury of B. S. N. S... Under the able direction of Joe Hermsen they will gtre probably the best evening of entertainment given throughout the year. I feel, "plenty" sorry for those who are hot attending. Maybe I •an tell you something about it in ^ • e r t ^ e j ^ s " papejr^ After fighting gallantly in the rain and mud through almost four periods of hard football, the Bel-lingham Vikings lost a tough game by the score of 6 to 0, when Ellensburg got the breaks in the last two minutes of play. Bellingham had the ball on their own 20-yard line, with the final quarter almost over and a tie score in sight, when Ellensburg got the big break of the game by going through and blocking Erickson's punt, and taking the ball on the 21-yard line. Pass Scores Robinson made ten yards around end, and lost two yards on a quick play. Then, while the Vikings braced themselves for another line plunge, the Wildcats worked a fast triple pass with Sterling finally tossing the ball to Rogers, who stood on the goal line all by himself. Considering the wetness and slipperyness of the pigskin, it's a miracle that the pass ever worked. The Ellensburg team showed itself to be decidedly superior to Bellingham on the offense, marching up almost to the goal line time after time in the early part of the game. The Vikings' defense rose to the 6ccasion every time, however. Wildcats Threaten Three times, once in the first quarter and twice in the second, the Wildcats made it first and ten within the Viking ten-yard line, only to lose the ball on downs when stopped dead by the Bellingham line. The second half, and especially the fourth quarter, saw the Vikings stage a rally. Ellensburg made no serious threats to score in. this half until the last few minutes of play. In the early part of the fourth quarter Erickson led two spectacular attacks toward the Wildcat's goal, only to lose the ball once on a fumble, and again on downs. The Viking offense broke after the Ellensburg touchdown when Erickson was carried off the field. Gagnon picked up a Bellingham fumble and ran across the goal'line in this half, but according to the new fumble rule, the score was not allowed. There was no one on the Bellingham line who could be picked as a star. The entire forward wall played a defensive game that was unbeatable. In the backfield Erickson was the star as usual, his line plunging surprising the Viking rooters. On the whole the Bellingham squad played the hardest hitting game of the season. Sterling Stars Sterling, quarterback, was the most consistent ground gainer for the visitors, while Erickson, halfback, did some wonderful punting. Robinson, a sub, made . some spectacular gains, but did not getaway often. The Line-ups:.

FOR PLAYING OFF TWO INTRAMURAL SPORTS Soccer and volleyball intramural games were played off this year in a Round Robin tournament. The large turnouts permitted this and afforded more games practice. First Game Played Wednesday, November 13, the first soccer game was played, the Green and White teams holding each other to a scoreless tie. The second game, Monday, 18, resulted in a 1-1 tie between the yellow and green teams. The Whites and Yellows met last Wednesday, the score being 0-0. Volleyball Starts Volleyball teams began their tournament Thursday, Nov. 14, the Greens winning from the Whites 35-33. Tuesday the 18, Greens lost to the Yellows, 31-36. The hockey games were not a Round Robin tournament, the number of women out affording just two full teams. Ann Swanson's Green team won over Alice Bab-cock's White team 3-1. The Coaches The coaches, Miss Mildred Jewell and Miss Margery Horton, will announce the class teams after Thanksgiving. In hockey, the squad will choose their own teams, subject to approval by the manager, captain and coach. After two or three more dances have been learned a small dance team will be selected by Miss Jewell. o WASHINGTON-CALIFORNIA The California Bears are still at the top of the Coast conference, but for a while last Saturday it looked as if a snarling pack of Washington Huskies would dethrone them. 7-0 was the final outcome of the struggle played in Memorial Stadium at Berkeley, with the out-played Bears on the long end of the score. A 38-yard pass in the second quarter counted the only score of the day. Previous to this, the Huskies, with Merle Hufford ripping the Bear line to shreds, reached the 2-yard marker, but could go no farther. All Hufford That Washington outplayed their opponents is shown by the fact that they made eight first downs to California's five, Hufford himself made more yardage from scrimmage than all of the Bear backs together. Washington had a slight edge in punting, while California made more gains by passes. HOOP TURNOUTS ARE IN FULL SWING AS FIRST GAMES F * Basketball Draws Ten Ex-football Players as Opening of Season for Supervarsity and J. V.'s Nears. SQUAD CUT TO 25 MEN With football finally clamped in its hole to hibernate for another year, basketball now holds the commanding position in the Normal's athletic activities with the opening game not a week away. The Supervarsity will exchange greetings with the Roland Wreckers in the City league Tuesday night, Nov. 26, on the Y. M. C. A. floor, .according to a schedule compiled by Sam Carver and Serod Roland. Ten more . ex-football players tossed away their moleskins and donned the armor of the Maple court causing Coach Sam Carver to have visions of a Tri-Normal championship, and with such men as Worsham, Pederson, Flowers, Kerr, Gaither and Parker helping to shove it into his grasp. Due to the poor gymnasium facilities the squad has been cut down to only 25 men which will be carried all season. Two teams will take part in the City league, the Supers and J. V.'s. The schedule is as follows, for the Supervarsity: • Nov. 26—Roland. Wreckers. D e c 3—Brown Cole. Dec. 11—Shell Oil. Dec. 17—Bell. Marine Ways. Dec. 31—Y. M. C. A.

FORUM DISCUSSES RELIGIOUS QUESTION At the November 10 meeting of the Student Forum the question "Can a Christian be a Patriot?" was discussed, with the thought in mind of the next day being Armistice Day. As would be supposed, there was a great deal of discussion as to what constitutes a patriot, with the narrow view of a man who fights in a spectacular way during war-time contrasted with the person who has just as much. love for his country but performs some lasting service in a less spectacular manner during peace time. Perhaps the best def- -inition was that a patriot is one who desires the best good for his country. It was stated that patriotism ought to be international, looking to the good of. all humanity rather i h a n of our own nation, regardless of .the rest of the world, in this day of .increasing interdependence between nations. — o Countryman Attends Seattle Conference Miss Linda Countryman, instructor in the Home Economics department of the Normal school, attended the meeting of t he council of the Western Section of the Home Economics Association, which was held at the University of Washington, Saturday, November 9.

Going, to"# School, Teaching and Assisting with Text Books; Tells of Other Normal Friends in N. Y. Roy Arnett has recently received a most interesting letter from Professor E. A. Bond, who is now on a leave of absence and is attending and teaching at Columbia University. According to the letter, since his arrival at Columbia, Mr. Bond has been quite busy. During the first week he read the proof of two new arithmetic books and the manuscripts for the revision of the Schorling-Clark Junior High School Mathematics. • • In\ao^tioh to-teaching two classes in Junior College Mathematics at Columbia College and doing research work as assistant to Dr. Upton, Mr. Bond is carrying a course of 18'points, which is. a 3 point overload. Although Mr. Bond is a long way. from Bellingham, he sees many of his Western friends quite often, among whom are Mr. Arntzen, Mr. Davis, Miss Peterson, Miss Cole and also George Allez, former student body president. Professor Bond ended his letter by saying, "Everything is going nicely with us all. William Fisher came up for the week and he and my boys are looking the town over. Was glad to receive the papers; they contained much of interest." Notice of student association election to elect three new members for Board of Control was made known yesterday by Roy Arnett secretary. He emphasized the fact that any candidate aspiring for the nomination should declare his intention to remain in this school for the next four quarters. If this intention is not made known, the Dean of the school has the right to disqualify the aspirant. Membership Expires Both Guy Springsteel, representing the students, and Miss Kathleen Skalley representing the faculty filled vacancies at the beginning of the Fall quarter which were to last through the quarter only. A third, member, Jean Marquis, has* just left to enter Leland Stanford University. The Board will meet Monday or Tuesday of next week to begin the quarter in student affairs. : ., o————'.,',-.; ATTENTION GLEE CLUB . Y.P.I). TO ENTER PUBLICITY CONTEST Local B. Y. P. U.

THREE FRESHMAN GROUPS Chance to Be Given to Those Who Desire to Raise Grades; College Aptitude Tests to be Given All. January 2 marked the opening of the Winter quarter for Normal here by the registration for courses of instruction and payment of fees in the registrar's office. Although accurate figures are not obtainable yet, it is believed that about 900 students are in attendance this quarter. This is a slight increase over the number enrolled last Fall quarter, due to new students entering. Of this number, about 500 are first year students, with 350 second year people, and about 50 upper-classmen doing third and fourth year work for advanced diplomas. Due to the fact that nearly all of the students were in residence last quarter registration was much facilitated and practically everyone was registered on the opening day. Freshmen had appointments made with their advisor last quarter and at that time their tentative (Continued on Page Two) o RAYMOND RENDERS CONTINENTAL MUSIC Local Vocalist Popularizes New and Old European Selections; Appeal to Audience Very Noticeable. Harrison Raymond, accompanied by Althea Horst Raymond, who appeared in recital in the final assembly of last quarter on December 21, proved an outstanding success. The selection exhibited by Mr. Raymond in his program was much to be commended, for it covered a wide range in the musical field. Italy, old and new musical Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, and others were represented with equal mastery and sympathy interpretation by Mr. Raymond. Perhaps his most popular numbers were those in his third group, for they, were of more wide appeal. Among these were Beethoven's "Adelaide", "The Snow' by Sigurd Lie, which was pronounced very lovely. The best received group was Gretchaninoff's "The Wounded Birch," which was possessed with a certain fragility that was so intense that the number proved very charming. "Leila", a translation from the Burmese, which has been set to music by Crist, was undoubtedly a fine number. As a final selection, it was ^certainly the flourish of a master. Mr. Raymond's dramatic translation of "Comfort- Ye My People" and "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted" from the Messiah, by Handel, left nothing to be improved upon. His unusually liquid voice is adaptable to any form of music as has been proved in his varied program. Without a doubt, Harrison Raymond is one of the most popular artists ever appearing at Bellingham State Normal School. This was the twelfth concert he has presented here. .

It is also the week when we make resolutions and firmly.determine to remain loyal to their keeping. Let's allow our minds to back up a bit to that hectic week of the fall quarter when we sat up every evening pounding out term papers or cramming for tests in subjects we knew little or nothing about. With that turbulent week in mind allow us to suggest the following as a primary resolution, "I solemnly resolve to hit my studies with a bang from the beginning until the end of the quarter." ANOTHER CHANCE. Eyes we have anguished, lips we made gay, Memories of these our companions each day, But there's something that makes the going less drear Something that's given to us each new year— v Another chance! To forget is not easy when we've caused others grief. To blot out the old faults and turn a new leaf; But there's something each twelfth month to each one is offered, The finest gift anyone could be proffered— Another chancel . - A Rich Encounter A freshman walking along the hall.

She was looking about frantically for light, 'which appeared - when she drew near Miss Rich. Giving Miss Rich a tap on the shoulder which nearly bowled her over, she began: "Say, do the second quai*ter freshmen meet their classes this afternoon?" ; "I really don't know, I am not a second quarter freshman" replied Miss Rich. "Are you a first quarter freshman then? asked the interested student, "No I am not" replied Miss Rich again, "If I were I would probably know it." Did Miss Rich feel complimented? In the little city of 7,282 students at the TJ. of W. as well as some 500 faculty members and many more people concerned in various ways with keeping the city in order, and with a least a third of the popula tion owning and driving cars, traffic becomes a serious problem. And unfamiliarity with campus traffic regulations is no excuse, according to Professor R. W. Jones, traffic court judge, although he says that is the excuse most often given. Students are given a list of traffic regulations regarding driving - and parking at the beginning of the school year, and these are enforced by an official cop on all the drives and at all entrances.^ At a recent court 29 cases were heard, and 22 of the culprits drew fines. Fines may range from one to $25. In all 76 fines have been levied during the first month of school. i i ^ d r l a l ^ ^ W0M Mass eduction schools are to be opened in Peking, Chma, by the National Education Bureau.

More than 91 out of every 100 registered voters went to the polls. o — • That college morals present even a "much greater problem in Eastern schools, is the opinion of M. Lyle Spencer, president of the University of Washington, who lately returned from the East. 1 One hundred years ago there was born inL Russia a man, who, on account -of his radical views, of Christianity, his fearlessness, and his deep insight into human nature was destined to become one of the best loved and at the same time, most misunderstood man of the ages, 'Count; Sylof Nickolaievitch Tolstoy was born at Yasma, Poly-ana, September 9, 1828. , He studied language and law at the University^ of Kazan; where he .finished at an early age. While yet very young, he took part in the Crimean War. It was during these campaigns that he wrote his auto-, biography, "Childhood, Boyhood and Youth." . A rather characteristic incident is told of his childhood- One day during a long ramble in the country, Turgeneff and Tolstoy came across an old hack of a horse, just finishing his days—upon seeing the. pathetic creature, the emotional Tolstoy so vividly described the scene that Turgeneff declared that he must have had horses for ancestors! v He married the daughter of a Moscow priest and during this period of his life he wrote his two best books upon which his literary reputation chiefly rests—"War and Peace," dealing with Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and "Anna Kar-enina" a powerfully realistic study of human passion and its effects. But.it was Tolstoi's own characteristic views on religion which aroused and startled ''the orthodox men of his time, and which finally, led to his being excommunicated in 1901 by the Holy Synod of Russia. Closing a brilliant life, Tolstoy died at Astopova, November 20, 1910. No man since Rousseau has so profoundly stirred tne human emotions as has Tolstoy. BOOK REVIEW "Arrogance",' by: Leonie ,Aminoff, The Torchlight Series of Napoleonic Romances; E. P. Dutton Co., New York.* "Arrogance" shows. us Napoleon at the height of his-jpower and is fascinating whether it is very accurate or not. ; Here is a depiction of the life and icyes of one of the most colossal figures in European history. The author tells even such trivial things about the would-be conqueror of the world, as the fact that he couldn't play chess and whenever, he did. the courtier playing with him would let him win or the Emperor would be unbearable the rest of the evening. Aminoff tells us that there is'nothing so kingly as self control, but our hero, Napoleon, possessed no suggestion of this kingly attribute. The., author does not spare .the Empress Josephine in his so-called intimate study of these notable characte/s. She is very much in love with his Majesty, the Emperor and also very jealous. She has every occasion to be, for Napoleon possessed that dynamic personality that appeals to both men and women and he knew his power. Not unlike Dickens, Aminoff often stops, to have a personal chat with the reader. Her style is light and exceedingly easy to read and it would be for better literary critics than we to say whether the book is worth reading or not; all we can say is that we enjoyed it. In ending, the author sums up Napoleon—"Poor man, poor ignorant, silly man. He was not the Storm-King's son—". o-, Phi Beta Kappa has been spurned again, this time by a woman student at the University of Wisconsin. Miss Olga Rubinow, of Philadelphia, senior in the college of letters and science, objected to the society's standards. Her note of refusal follows: "Because I am opposed to any formal honor bestowed on the basis of high grades, which I do not consider a genuine criterion of true scholarship and intellectual achievement, and which I believe is often conferred upon the unworthy as well as the worthy, constantly excluding a large proportion of those worthy who do not happen to excel in grades—I beg to decline election to the Phi Beta Kappa society."

The registrar urged all who could do so to arrange for an appointment with an adviser, make out an approved study list and pay their fees on certain designated days in the early part of December. Few, however, took advantage of the situation so the rest had to wait around on the opening day, stand in line, and rush through crowded halls, doing what could have been done at their leisure. This quarter Freshmen were unable to do this because their curriculum had not been chosen because the Freshmen assemblies had not been concluded. In the middle of this quarter ali students will be required'lo.•make' out their programs in advance. eThis will save much time on the part of - the students and facilitate the confusion "made in the registrar's. •Office..:;'"-^:C:-{:: .^^•^•••^::--'.c :-^/- gt; ::^ ^ v Jfew; Grouping for Frosh ' Under jdir^tion iof iArtiuir Kol-- stad, now acting head of the Research department and instructor in Educational measurements, a new grouping of the freshmen students has been arranged. This division was made to enable the Appointment Bureau to find a time and position for all to do their student teaching. As the number of openings are limited in the training and city schools a program must be made out scheduling everyone who plans to do teaching. A'l Freshmen are sorted into three groups, one for each quarter. This grouping is based on the score received in the College Aptitude Test given to all, the marks received .in subjects last quarter and the results of the achievement tests. The latter is the main basis xor separation since students must pass their achievement tests before taking Education 7c. Those who are clear in all of the, tests or nearly so will do their teaching the fall quarter next year. Those who are deficient in several, or extremely low, will be given the advantage of two extra quarters of academic instruction to enable them to pass the tests. Students will be given an opportunity to take certain tests that may not have been taken or to take retests in deficient subjects within two weeks of the opening of this quarter. The College Aptitude test will be given at this time and students wishing to raise their grade may do so at this time by payment of a fee of fifty cents. All new students are required to take these tests. lt; • _ _ _ o _ _ -' So, to prove it is necessary to. again borrow a few words from a local co-operative department.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Now to get down to business. We find that basketball is the first thing on the program. * * * « Prospects for a championship team gt; are not so bright as they once were. Though there are several of last year's team back in school, the coaches are rather pessimistic in their predictions for the 1929 season. Thorsen, McClurken, and Benson from last year and Odell from the year before, should form the nucleus of a fairly good team. Besides these four there are several new men in school that should prove to be valuable men before the season is very far advanced. Then, too there are several men on the Super and J. V. squads that should be of good use to the Varsity squad. Beginning this week there will appear in these columns a short biographical sketch of the varsity athletes. This week Occie Thorsen will be, the subject of our observation. Occie is a product of the Bel-lingham schools. He was a graduate of the Whatcom High School with the class of 1926. During his four years in high school, Occie was a participant in almost every branch of sport, making letters in football, basketball, track and baseball. Occie began his athletic career with the Vikings in the fall of 1926. He played two years of football, basketball, and baseball. This last football season he was out of the game because of injury, but it is expected that he will be back i nthe lineup of the Viking basketball squad for 1929. This will make his third season as a member of the team. Occie has always been a reliable and ..consistent., player., in ..every branch of athletics and may be depended upon to deliver in the pinches. It is also rumored that Occie is an accomplished swimmer and can hold his own with the best of the bowlers.

Then Investigate What It Offers .Should you ever decide to become a cub reporter, be sure and look well into what such' a job will have in store for you. You have no idea of the sort of life an ordinary 'Cub' must lead. His days become endless rounds of words and words and words. He must become a highly efficient machine for the manufacture of words which mean existence to him. Until the ceaseless production of 'copy* and this plan of words be- . comes a habit he-may not expect to hold his job. Even in the sacred realms of his unconsciousness when he tries to lose in sleep the flood of words which have become a part of his sub-conscious mind, these demons follow him. Teh typewriter, ever indispensable friend of a reporter, becomes the medium through which the products of the factory of his mind are transmitted onto paper into a tangible form which may be read and which is the satisfying or otherwise result of his work. However, let not this rather dismal picture of the life of a reporter -discourage you if you have aspirations for the job. Nowhere else but in the fascinating world of journalism will he find so many strange adventures and such excitement. The reporter in the making must develop courage if it is not already in his makeup. The good reporter has that indomitable will to conquer, which if necessary will make him risk his life to get a good 'story' for his paper. Certainly a cure for bash-fulness would be found in the job of a reporter, for the continuous rebuffs received, the rudeness and often insolence of the people he meets in his interviews will harden his nature and banish any^. thought of reticence. But occasionally in the people with whom he comes in contact, he will find rare gems of personality which he would meet in no other profession. All sorts of people, loquacious, reserved, humorous, severe, gruff and pleasant, will add infinite Wealth to his knowledge of human nature. Reporting is not a joke. It is an extremely serious job. But it is also a thrilling one and few true reporters will abandon its excitement and satisfying results for a more humdrum job. This Is the Week for New Resolutions This week marks the beginning of a new year, a new quarter, and a new schedule of courses. It is also the week when we make resolutions and firmly determine to remain loyal to their keeping. Let's allow pur minds to back up a bit to that hectic week of midnight oil, sweating brows and suspense; the last week of the fall quarter when we sat up every evening pounding out term papers or cramming for tests in subjects we knew little or nothing about. With that turbulent week ins mind allow us to suggest the following as a primary resolution, "I solemnly resolve to hit my studies with a bang from the beginning until the end of the quarter." Georgia Tech, Southern Conference champion, snatched a spectacular victory from the undefeated California Bears,: 8 to 7, in a New Year's Day classic intersectional struggle at the twelfth annual tournament in the Pasadena Rose bowl. Nearly 70000 saw the Golden Tornado swirl down to an undefeated season by virtue of a safety and a touchdown on a field overcast with a brilian sun. The-first score came as the result of a break in the game when , Riegels, captain-elect for California and center, scooped up a Georgia fumble ran the wrong way towards his own goal line, but was stopped a foot from his own goal line by Lom a teammate. On the next play the punt was blocked and recovered by California behind the goal line for a safety. In the third quarter Mitchell, half-back for Tech, got loose.for 30 yards, and a 15-yard addition by Thomason shoved across the first touchdown of the game. A sharp aerial attack "in the final quarter brought the Bears their lone score. A brilliant pass from Lom to Phillips of over 37 yards put the ball in scoring position. Two more passes followed. Then a pass over the goal line from Lom to Phillips again put the ball across. Barr converted the try-for-point. California easily was the outstanding team but lost the game on costly breaks. However, Mizell, for Georgia, was the best ground gainer of the game, making an average of 13 yards to a play. East Vs. West Another classic game was played by a group of all-stars, the East against the West, in a benefit contest for the Shriners' Crippled Children's hopsital. For the first time in four years the West lost its supremacy with a 20 to 0 defeat. A complete All-American backf ield punctured the West's line at will. It was composed of Harpster of Carnegie, Weston of Boston, Howell of Nebraska .and Holmer of Northwestern. More than 50,000 persons witnessed the immense struggle in the Kezar stadium at San Francisco. w# o Norma Supers Score :; Another Decisive Victory The Normal Supers scored another triumph in the Class A. .city basketball league, Wednesday evening when they defeated the Roland Wreckers in a"'.hectic- hoop contest that .brought out many thrills. When the final whistle "sounded over the gymnasium, it was found that the Supers had the long end of a 46 to 30 score. The Supers are pounding right along in their class arid look like sure winners in the first half of the split season of the league schedule. Thorsen and Dixon shared the high score honors for the Viking five, with fourteen points each, while McLaughlin was close behind with ten counters. Leach, for the losers was the high point man of the contest, haying fifteen points chalked up to his credit. NEW ATHLETIC GAMES ON WINTER SCHEDULE Forty-niners pressed in Historic Costumes, Play Modern Twenty- Niners; May Organize New Team. Ellerisburg Defeats Cougars 27 to 29 Ellensburg Normal basketeers defeated, Washington State College, 29 to 27 in a loosely played game at Spokane, December 31. The Cougars, tapering off in a pre-confer-erice season, lacked team work and floor strategy, while the Normal school players, who went the entire route without a substitution, presented a fast, smooth working team.

Miss Sweet is a graduate of the four-year course of the Bellingham Normal School. .During this course of study she made an unusual record and has since been teaching in the public schools of this city. Wherever she has taught she has made an enviable reputation as a teacher. It is very fortunate for the training school to be able to secure her services to. finish this term, and also gives the school an opportunity to show consideration for a former student of outstanding ability. . o— RAYS FROM SUNSET LODGE Miss Lyla Stephens has a house guest over the Christmas holidays, Miss Elizabeth Cary of W.

Christinas, with all the finishing touches, will be celebrated in a manner truly befitting the season today in the training school. Every class has prepared a special program, including i n - t h e main, exchange of gifts, a Santa Glaus, a nicely decorated tree, and refreshments. Other feature's including-7- the singing of carols and reading of poems and other compositions will occupy prominent places in the programs of some of the classes. Eighth Grade Buys Gift The eighth grade, Miss Bertha Crawford, training teacher, has, besides buying gifts for one another, these gifts to cost not more than fifteen cents, purchased a poinsetta with two large blossoms. This will be presented to the children's ward of a local hospital. This class has decorated its room in holly which t h e students ^ have brought from home. A '.Christinas tree will be placed on a table, and the gifts placed oil and about it. A student teacher will act as Santa Claus, while other student teachers have arranged several surprises for the class. The seventh and eighth grades will meet together for their annual Christmas program. Mr. Hoppe of the faculty will read Dicken's Christmas Carol tin. he has done in the years previous. Other items of the program will include the dramatization of Constance MacKay's play entitled "The Snow Witch." The eighth grade dramatic society will give "The Christmas Guest," a play of the Sixteenth Century. Readings will include Cpsette's Christmas, from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, the First Christmas Tree, and the story of The Other Wise Man, both by Henry van Dyke. Special Study Is Done In addition to the- program the eighth grade have been doing related study to the season, investigating the various preparations for the holidays, as they,are made by the families, the stores, different organizations, and the newspapers.

Teams The Philos team was composed of Fay Sehermerhorn, Neil Miller, and Frieda Massey, while Margaret -Hill,' Alice Grace and Grace Lytic composed the independent team. The team will represent the World Politics Club w i l l ' b e ..composed of Glen Fairbanks, Viola Poyhonen and J-Iarry .Winsor... As it was both negative teams t h a t won their .debates, one of the .teams will have to take the affirmative side of the question, which, will-,mean, considerable .work for the .team which has to make the change. School Teams The judges will pick the- two school teams a men's and a-women's t e am from- all those t h a t are turning out regardless of the s t a n d i n g of *the team on which they debated. Each team will be composed of three members and one alternate which will give eight people places on the Normal school debate team. A-class will be conducted in debate next -quarter for the members of the t e am and two hours credit will be .given. Challenges Received The Normal .schopl has received several, .challenges from outside schools, wishing; debates. A challenge from Willamette University has been received, offering to debate a women's team from this school on the question: •'Resolved.. That the United S t a t e s should use armed force to protect American capital in Central America.'" Other challenges : have been received from other schools and debating societies and.a number are to be sent out by the^- Normal team when they become better organized. Leather Notebook Wins Over Purple Cow, Wednesday "I'd rather have a purple cow that a leather note book." was the scathing remark made by one of the facu l ty members the other day. Not a very good advertisement for the Coop, was the none-therless unrecall-able statement. Everyone knows that on Christmas the gifts presented are j u s t what one doesn't want. Acting on this principle the members of Miss Wilson's library instruction class eack contributed to a fund for a beautiful brown leather notebook. True it would have been nice to have presently! her with a cerise cow for a mascot but the- idea did not appear feasible. After all, it's the spirit t h a t counts, more than the gift. Besides a spirit of fun, many students were undoubtedly expressing appreciation of Miss Wilson's instructions. Mr. Logger, a student, made the presentation speech and Miss Wilson accepted it with appreciation. Contests With Ellensburg, Cheney •and-Bt.'Martin's College are-'to Contribute to Quarter Activities.

Gordon Leen Millard Sutherlen Glen Fairbanks Florence McNeil Mae Barbo Fred Schwan Merry Christmas! It's just a little phrase and everybody's using it. But it sort of warms you up inside and makes the world seem brighter. When a friend or acquaintance greets you with "Merry Christmas", the warmth just comes out and you beam forth in a great big smile, with the returning salutation "Merry Christmas, yourself!" It's the smile with the greeting, the evidence of good-fellowship, that makes it so joyful. Try to meet a Christmas greeting with a frown; you can't do it, even if you're sure you've flunked in everything. So let's "Merry Christmas" it to everyone—and don't forget the smile. • . / ' •- o— The end of a quarter has come. A milepost has been passed, we can say. For many, their first at Bellingham Normal. In the next two weeks you will have the chance to review your three months' work as a whole. What sort of estimate are you going to put upon it; upon the school, upon the other people you met there? The folks at home will want to know somthing of what the school has done for you; whether your attending has been worth while. They will hp asking you to give an estimate. They will be making a judgment of it from your actions and attitude. But, remember, whatever your success may have been during the past quarter, you have not learned all there is to know about Bellingham Normal, good or bad. You have been called upon to make adjustments during the past term, to get the Normal School habits. During the quarters ahead you can expect to learn a great deal about this school.

The campaign to raise funds to send delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention is deserving of the entire support of the school. The movement is non-sectarian and will discuss matters of an international religious character. From the character and attitude of those promoting the meeting and from the nature of the previous conventions the worth-whileness of. the coming one is assumed with assurance. In a meeting of so representative a group of North American- Colleges, we of Bellingham Normal, who stand for things worthwhile should feel it our responsibility to see that we have a representation—and that that representation be from our best. We shall look forward with interest to the "echoes" of so remarkable a group of meetings which will be brought home to us. A N D NOW— Merry Christmas! candy!! I Happy New Year!!

The fifth grade, Miss Eleanor Os-born, training teacher, gave this morning a two-fold program, the first part to include the singing of such Christmas Carols as Silent Night, Holy Night, and Little Town of Bethlehem 5 and the reading of several pieces, both by pupils, and student teachers. The students decorated their room in keeping with the time of the year, and prepared a tree, decorated with electric lights, upon which they placed their presents. The latter part of the program was given over to the giving of presents, and the serving of refreshments, which consisted of candy and popcorn balls. Mothers' Tea Given Yesterday the girls of the eighth grade gave a tea to their mothers and some members of the faculty. At this tea the girls displayed their new smocks which thejC made in home economics classes under the direction of Miss Alice S. Houston. The refreshments served at the tea, consisted of Russian tea, macaroons, and. nut cookies. This same group of girls, while working in home economics made Christmas candies, some of it foh-dante, and the remainder what Mies Houston termed "exceptionally good fudge." Miss Houston expressed great praise of "the girls, stating that this had been the first class of the type she has ever taught which had a perfect record in candy making, not' "a girl failing to create a satisfactory bath. The candy, Miss Houston added, was a difficult type to make, /and' the record, made therefore,, is '^dou^ly;creditable..;T :i;... ::~:.-':-u':A Contracts Are Let for New Library (Continued from Page One) high, and will be richly decorated, although the books in built-in oak cases are designed to be the most important decorative feature. The lighting is designed to eliminate all possibility of glare. On this floor also are the offices of the library administration. The two offices of the. head librarian, the office and workroom of the cataloguer, and the office of the reference librarian are all conducive to efficiency and convenience. As stated early in the year by Miss Wilson, with this arrangement, it is possible for student to transact all his business with the library and staff; he can consult all of the available tools and the reference library before he enters the main reading room, thereby securing for the three hundred readers a quiet which is conducive to real study. This big reading room is, the student's workshop. With these new facilities of beauty and utility, it is hoped that students may double and magnify their work. Above you see none other than Mr. Troll E. Off, motorman of the Garden street line, who recently broke all previous records in a non-stop trip from the business section of this city to the Normal school with a car load of students who were attempting to get to class on time. The time was clocked at 45 minutes 8 seconds. At the end of the journey Mr. Off was heard to say to the admiring group which gathered about him: "I do not want all the glory for my daring attempt at speed." "I wish to share it with those students in the car who cheered me on to victory." This incident just shows that Bellingham still has gallant men within its limits... And we wish to congratulate the city power company. All power to you. Languages, languages — countless lingos never taught in,,schools, alien tongues, with only now and then a word, by sheer value, rising to the heights of the dictionary and Mr. Webster. - An interesting article on "Theatrical Lingo," appears in/ American Speech for last October, which' sums up many of the familiar back-stage terms, explaining some of the most obscure. In dealing with the language of the stage the author, Ottilie Amend, states that one must distinguish between the legitimate stage, the Little Theatre, the moving-picture world, the Musical Comedy, the Vodvil, and the Burlesque, for in each of these divisions ''one finds varying methods of communication. A performance is never entitled a success or a failure; it either "goes over big" or is a "hit", a "flop", or a "wow." If one of the actors is the star of the performance his fellow players say he "ran away with the show last night." If a troupe travels to small towns they are "in the timbers," or in the "jerkwater towns." A large crowd is called a "good house," a poor crowd, "a paper house." "Props," singular, is the property man, who would be insulted if called by any other title; "props," plural, mean the properties.5 Would-be John Barry mores ,are known as "side-walk as-tors."/ One word, now understood by the average person, which grew out of this sfagetalk, is "upstage." The de rivation of this word is very interest ing. In the days of the Elizabethan theatre, if an actor literally went "up-stage," he could not be seen by the common people in the pit, since the stage was on a slant. Hence, "upstage" came to mean "uppity." An interesting article might indeed be written about the "slanguage" of even bur own Normal school, where a strange phrase like "Rec Hour" is accepted as legitimate English. "Will Shakespeare," a poem by John Drinkwater, appears in the cur rent issue of "Drama," in the form of an appeal to the lovers of Shakes pcare. It concerns the Shakespeare memorial fund which is now being raised to rebuild and endow the memorial theater at Stratford-on-Avon. The poem is a strong plea to the r e a d e r , describing Shakespeare's characters as lonely ghosts walking the streets of Stratford-town, in search of a dwelling. Help Keep the Puzzle Together LM. Kibbe Home /;; Club Party Scene Approximately forty members and former members of the Vanadis Bragi assembled at the home of L. A. Kibbe last Friday night for the annual Christmas party which the club holds. Refreshments; a real "Santa Claus" who was none less than Harry Hale,,a Christmas tree, and the exchange of ten cent presents all contributed to the evening's entertainment. Ben Hamilton favored with a tenor solo, and Harry Hale, rendered several saxaphohe solos. , IT HAPPENS LN THE BEST OF FAMILIES Who is this little boy? This little boy is Robert Wagner. Well, what of it? Robert has just been informed that "There ain't no Santa Claus". That's fierce, ain't it? You said it. Well, we're going on a vacation, too, and forget about this darn column for a couple of weeks so— Jf CHE EH UP, FOLKS, IT'S ALL OVEft J NOW. I WISH YOU AM£ftRY (This is the last of a series of articles written on various features of the library, by members of the Library Staff—Editor'8 note). The shelf-reader's job in the library is probably not as well known as some other jobs, but it is fully as important. When you wish to find a book in the library and do not know where it might be, you first go through the card index to find ita number. You feel sure that as long as you have the number you can easily find the book. But sometimes you can not find the book and the librarian says that it has not been taken out; then what? Very often this means that the book is out of place. It is a thing like this that the shelf-reader tries to keep from happening. She goes over the shelves each day looking at each book to see if its number fits with the numbers on the books around it. If it does not, then the book must be put in its right place. Think what a time you would have finding a book that might be almost any place in the library. Shelf-reading is like putting a puzzle together. The trouble is in keeping it together when you once get it right, and students could help a lot if they only would. When you have finished with a book, be sure you put it back into the right place, so that others wishing to use the book will not have to look all over the library to find it. When you see a shelf of books all nice and straight, please do not go and muss them up. We do not read the shelves just for your amusement. I am sure that if the students realized how important it is, both to themselves and to others, that the books be in their correct ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 December 16 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, B E L L I N G H A M V W A S H I I ^ T ON W.A.A. FALL SPORTS CLOSEATBANOUET President Fisher Speaks Before Women Sport's Banquet, with Carrie Tucker Toastmistress. Girls' fall quarter sports were closed last Friday night, December 9, with a W. A. A. banquet held in the "Montague-McHugh dining hall. _Sixty" W. A. A. members and guests were present. The evening's toast-mistress was Carrie Tucker, who cleverly interwove Christmas Spirit and athletic spirit with the aid • of Mr. Santa Claus. To quote a passage from Miss Tucker on introducing Mr. Fisher: "While Mr. Claus is busily making a playhouse for the little Fishers, Mr. Fisher is busy constructing a large house on our campus." The speech by President Fisher was a feature of the evening's program. He commented upon the activity and dependability of the W. A. A. as an organization. He heartily approved tEe club's work on i ts lodge on Sinclair (Cottonwood) island, and pledged his support. Miss Bertha Keller addressed the club on "The Spirit of Past Sports," in which she developed the growth of the W. A. A. and commended several former W. A. A. members and faculty on their work. j As an honored guest of the. evening Miss Kathleen Skalley, former director of P. E., came up from the Uni-, Versity of Washington; where she is studying. She greeted the club and spoke of W. A. A. work in the university. She will return next fall after her year's leave. Miss Theresa Peters gave a resume of next quarter's sports in general, while Edith Gunderson spoke on basketball; Golda Abel on volleyball; Martha Gesdahl, swimming; Viola Searing, hiking. As is the custom of W. A. A. banquets, the adviser of each individual sport announced an honorary or all-star team. The girls are chosen because of their good technique and fine sportsmanship. Miss Bowen announced for the all-star hockey team: Golda Abel, Virginia Bever, Grace Clampett, Mary Fox, Martha Gesdahl, Edith Gunderson, Jean Marquis, Grace Neeley, Hel-len Neilson, Rosa Ott, Lillian Wend-land and Margaret Wyant. She also presented all-star awards to the members of the volleyball squad as follows: Golda Abel, Ar-lene Johanson, Beatrice Johnson, Katherine Lawrence, J o s e p h i ne Quackenbush, Olga Stenvaag, Martha Van Hee, Jean Williams, Margaret Wyant, Martha Ylonen Miss Keller announced the following girls as the all-star soccer team: Anna Hicklin, Ruth Atkins, Dorothy McCool, Ruth Bradley, Jean Williams, Freda Massey, Rosa Van Ess, Rita Rathman, Lillian Wendland, Gladys Green and Mae Dillon. Miss Lillian George gave an inspirational account of hiking in her experience as leader of hikers, and urged the girls to take advantage of scheduled trips. o . Freshmen-Sophomore Girls Play Tie Game in Hockey Contest Lou) Stars Beat the Vanadis Bragi. Cp-ops Win Over Lowly Frpsh With an indoor baseball for a hockey ball and the gymnasium in place of the field, the Freshmen met and tied the Sophomores in the championship hockey game of the fall quarter. Unlike the soccer ball, the hockey ball might have become lost in the snow, while exceptionally cold hands never could hold a hockey club. Frosh goals were unerringly shot by Jean Marquis, Lillian Wendland, and Ruth Atkins, while the Sophs who starred in goals were Edith Gunderson and Mary Fox. . The lineup was as follows: In two of the most uneven games of the year the Low Stars retaliated for their past losses with a decisive win from the thousand per cent Van-adis Bragi, 19 to 9, while the league-leading Co-ops defeated the Frosh by a score of 20 to .7. . In the first encounter the Low- Stars, led by Marsden, played a fast, close checking type of basketball with Leatha, playing forward, high point man. Gray at guard and Brown at center played real basketball and accounted for eight of the winning points. A great deal of credit must be given to Roberts, of the Low Stars, for his consistent close checking. This outfit of players looked better than the old Low Star team that was forced "out at first" last week by t h e Co-ops. Mos-er, of the Vanadia Bragi, was the outstanding player for the losers. He was booked against the Low Star's pointing center, Brown, and managed to hold him down and make four markers besides. Line up—Low Stars: (19); Leatha (F) 5; Marsden (F) 2; Brown (C) 4; Gray (G) 4; Roberts (G) 3 ; Miller (Sub). Vanadis Bragi (9)— Korsborn (F) 1; Grimlund (F) 2 ; Moser (C) 4; Kelly (G) 1; Adkin-son (G) 1; Hamilton (Sub). In the Co-op-Frosh contest the first half was a dull uninteresting conflict with the winners ahead by the unequal score of 10 to 1. The losing quintet seemed not to be able to penetrate the close checking of the winners. Time and again they would advance the ball to center only to be forced to shoot, usually missing. Led by the substitute, Rodland, the Frosh "got going" the second half, but seemed unable to check the steady dependable Co-op team. Roy Arnett and Bill Wanamaker were the two mainstays of attack for the Co-ops. Bill broke through for 9 of the winning 20 points. Arnett's flashy checking was an item of interest. One time, during the game, he leaped off the floor and stopped a "sure" basket. Lineup: Co-ops 20)—Parker (F) 3; Legoe (F) 1; Arnett (C) 4; Wanamaker (G) 9; Iverson (G) 1; Johnson (Sub) 2. Frosh (7)—Rumery (F); Mullens (F) 1; Van Leuven (C) 1; Darby (G); Turnbull (G); Burns (Sub); Rodland (Sub) 5. o ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL BASKET TOURNEY TO BE IN MOUNT VERNON VIKINGS HAND 51-37 LOSS TO WRECKERS Supervarsity Quintet Shows Power as Roland Wreckers Drop Hard Fought Game in Class A League CLASS A STANDINGS TEAM— Won Lost Y.

Vernon the first week of March. Mt. Vernon, because of its large gym, central location and many other conveniences was the scene of last year's tournament also. The decision was made by a meeting of Northwest Washington coaches at Mt. Vernon, Monday night. This big district meet comes just one week before the state meet, which is held in Seattle. Whatcom County will furnish three teams; three from Snohomish and the Island counties; and two from Skagit. These eight teams will play, and the three that are best will be sent to the State Tournament. Coaches John F. Keeran and Lee Rankin represented Bellingham at this meet. Other representatives were W. Fisher,' F. Rockey and H. Wilder of Lynden; J. Miles and A. Hannahsof Nooksack. At the meeting there was no discussion of the place for either the district track meet or the baseball contest. • o i During the unusually cold, snowy weather, the Vikings are giving a fine example of Darwin's "survival of the fittest." While the poor, shivering Southerners sit hunched over the fire, the hardy descendants of the Norsemen skate, coast, and even skii. They welcome the cold weather and stamp around in the snow glorying in it. Perhaps, however, the fathers should have given the sons better instruction in skiing. They sway/ lean from side to side and finally crash to the ground. Still undaunted and with the true Norsemen's spirit they arise and t ry again. Those who have Scandinavian fore-bearers may laugh now, but 'lie. laugh best who laughs last." Wait until the summer quarter^ The Supervarsity cagers have found themselves. This statement was substantiated Wednesday evening when the aforementioned quintet, playing a brilliant brand of basketball, marched to an 51 to 37 victory over the Roland Wreckers in a city class A league contest on the "Y" floor. By virtue of their encouraging win the Supers are safely lodged in second place and are threatening the peace and dignity of the league leading Y. M. C. A. five, who kept pace with the. Vikings Wednesday by defeating the Baker Lumber Yard aggregation 61 to 22. Speedy floor work, accurate shooting and close checking, gave the supers a decided advantage over the Wreckers, who after holding the Car-verites to a 40 to 36 score at half time, waited, permitting the winners to tally almost at will. That last half spurt was beautiful to watch, and if the Supers can hold the pace, they have a 50-50 chance to down the association five when the two squads meet Wednesday, December 21. Although the entire team deserves credit for their commendable performance, individual bouquets should be given to "Zeke" McClurken, diminutive forward, and Ted Clarke, running guard. "Zeke" had his shooting sights trained on the basket in the Wrecker tilt, and he found the hoop for 18 points. He is going to be a hard man to keep off the varsity. Clarke, demonstrating some of the tactics, that several years ago made hi mone of the outstanding guards in state high school circles, gave a brilliant performance, of dribbling, passing and checking. He also scored 9 points. Hawkings and Harper looked good on the offensive, each accounting for 10 points. Oscar Thorsen, regular center, was unable to play, due to an injury.

WASHINGTON GUIDES FUR Fur, Fur-bearing Animals, History } of No^rth' American Trapping I Studied By: Laurel School Pupils i Fur has recently been the subject Jof'study in the Industrial Arts class of. the seventh grade at the Laurel £rade school. The study was brought iabout by mention of trapping \u his-jtory, and"a iispugsion ° r t n e l,re~ 'winter activities of plants and ani-imals. ^ When beginning the work, the bhilclren first "investigated the history; of the use of fur, and then the source of it. They learned1 its important relation to the winning of the West, and its importance as a present day industry in Russia, Siberia, and other parte of Asia. They ais'b-inade a': study 0f the fur bearing Snimals of North • America, paying; special attention to "those of theirj o\yn locality'. 'To- facilitate' this • study,; th£ childreri used samples of fur do'-! nated: "by a local' furrier, arid colored prints/of fur-bearing animals,loaned; by.; Miss ••H zfet''-"-Breafcey"'of-''the; Art; department.'' ••,-•. •The sample's'of fur; were trimmed1 to"a iiniform^ize arid were''sewed on an identification'sheet,'' thus giving the students practice in tutting arid sewjng materials..

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON I SCHOOL WEEKLY ANTE-I-OVER CAMPUS DAY AND YE DIARY Now thatsthe men are well settled in their own den, we suggest that they invite the men faculty members to drop in occasionally and exchange ideas... No doubt both factions would benefit. ; *-——W. S. N. S. i t is a small number of the students who really know how much work, time, and care some of the students arid faculty concentrate on issuing this paper each week. The group working for the paper strive hard to make it good, and if the rest of the school was given a glimpse of the process, they would increase their estimation of the weekly. —W. S. N. S. :— ...."Ante-I-Over"! Individuals, from f schools to preachers, with the fam-ly fire-siders thrown in for good measure, are playing it. The obstruction for them to throw the arguement-laden "ball" over, is the new generation. First, one "team" tosses the ball over, filled with eulogies on the sensibility of "us youngsters' with our frankness of Truth and Sex, as well as our long list of freedoms. —-—W. S. N. S. Then team two, on the other side of the "new generation" partition, gives its "Ante-I-Over" call of the wild and heaves the ball back, chock full cf prophecies concerning our heading the old Ship of State straight for the rocky reefs of destruction. W. S. N. S. On and on they wrangle with the same old line, and none of them in any position to cross-section youth's angels, devils. That is, they keep throwing the ball back and forth, trying to keep in style. It is worked on the same principle as the weather. If they haven't the ingenuity to talk or write of something original, .they start playing the above mentioned children's game. ——-W. S. N. S. Most of us are tired of it. Thus Normalite suggests that they take the "Ante-I" ball over and play golf with it, thereby standing a better chance of slicing it into the creek, jointly losing and drowning it, and all its new generation hooie. W. S. N. S.— After being drawn out over a long period of time, the Song Contest has almost come to an end. Now most of us will be able to drop off to sleep without a plea for "More Songs" ringing in our ears. W. S. N. S. Let's make this Campus Day an exception. "Everyone pitch in and work hard when he is supposed to, and not get industrious only to the tune of paddle whacks. W. S. N. S. After looking over the Calendar Board Chooses Cole For Vodvil Manager; Campus Day Planned Quentin Quick presided over the Board of Control meeting for the first time since his election, at its regular meeting Monday. Applications for the position of Viking Vodvil manager were received, and Bert Cole was. chosen to ttake the job. I t was voted to award the two yell leaders, Lyle Markhart and Jack Musser, sweaters for their work as cheer extractors. The Campus Day program was announced at the Board meeting as has been outlined by Generalissimo . C. Ruckmick. A representative to the Song Contest committee from the Student body will be appointed by President Quick.

MAY 15 Bert Cole Appointed Manager of Annual Affair; Event to Occur Monday Evening, May 19. Full Program Planned for the Day IncludeSfDancing; Hutchins Heads Affair; Transportation Wanted Although.it has never been definitely proved that a pot of gold lies at the end of each rainbow, it is assured that a great, big container of tne yellow dust will be at the end of the trail for all those attending the Frosh picnic and dance at Rainbow Beach, on Friday, May 9. At least the entertainment planned for them should be equivalent to their share of the booty. Cars will be provided for all that make the trip, and it is planned to start the gold quest about four o'clock. After reaching the destination, a full program will immediately get under way, with amusements to suit everyone's taste. This will be topped off with a dance, which will be in full swing from seven until ten that night. The transportation committee, under the leadership of Jack Musser, has quite a problem to solve in getting a means of transportation for all who wish to go. Anyone that can possiby get a car for the occasion should confer with Mr. Musser as soon as possible. Any Freshman who hasn't paid this quarters class dues, will have to do so before being eligible to go. Earl Hutchins is the general chairman of the affair, and has a group of committeemen working under him. o DE MOLAYS TO DANCE AT BELLINGHAM HOTEL The annual Viking Vodvil got under way this week when the Board of Control appointed Bert Cole to the managership of the affair, which is to be given Monday evening, May 19. This will allow the various stunt workers a chance to turn out well executed Vodvil acts. . "Although the Thespians won the cup last year* for the best act", Bert Cole declared, "several of the other organizations have already started to go out after the coveted trophy. Any kind of act may be entered, and singing acts, dancing numbers, patter acts, or what-hav'e-you may win for the club the right to have its name on the cup." Preliminary tryouts for a place on .the bill will be held on the Thursday night before the date of the Vodvil, and the best acts will be chosen for the show! Last year the Thespians won with an interpretation of a carnival side show, ,,c(the kind "the folks all "come on bvah and see for a dime, ten cents", and the Frosh were runners-up with a May Pole dance, featuring Dixon," Ames, Rajala, and others.

The height of his concealment came at about 11:15 when only a small - portion of his face could be seen .'• above the top of the moon. Room 201, where students darkened and oftentimes broke pieces of window glasses by holding them over .,:'burning' candles, was the scene of .much of the excitement. It was in this room, that several of the boys had, difficulty in obtaining pieces of smoked glass, for no sooner would some youth get a piece of glass •properly smoked than some "fair . young maiden" would sadly remark, "I wish I could burn glass as dark as that".

They will sail on the yacht Thetis for Crescent beach, on Orcas Island, and will stay over night there in cabins. A dance hall has been reserved for Saturday night and 4 dancing will probably take up the greater part of the evening. Since Mount Constitution is on the island, hiking has been planned for Saturday or Sunday as the membei's choose. Sports will be part of the entertainment and swimming will have its place for the brave few. Frank Lock told the club that the boat could be chartered for the trip and that for a certain definite sum he would plan out the meals so that the club would have no responsibility of preparation on its hands. Joe Weatherby, Ruth Sam-mons, John Thorpe and Al Brazas will make up a committee to help him. After the business meeting and final plans for the week-end party had been made, a program was given by members of the club. Mariette Bergeron, as chairman of the entertainment committee was in charge .v of this. Arden Benthien opened the entertainment with several banjo solos, and was followed by a piano solo by John Mowad. Marion Mar-chand gave a book review on "Dido, Queen of Hearts", by 'Gertrude Ath-erton, and Louise Oberleitner, a n ew member, ended the program with a piano solo. Light trousers and blue coats will be the vogue at the Men's Sport Formal to be,held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel May 10. With the coming of Spring the men felt that a sport dance would be in order, and the club decided .to hold such an affair and to try and make it the outstanding event of the year. The ticket sales have been limited to 110 couples. This will be the first time that the Men's Club of Normal has attempted two dances in one year, and the committee working under Charles Dewey is sparing no effort to make the dance as unusual as its "idea". Tickets will be on sale, Monday morning in the Men's Club room. —— o CHILD DENTAL CLINIC HELD IN BELLINGHAM The fifth annual Campus Day will begin at 8 a. m., Tuesday, May 13, under the able direction of Herbert C.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren S T U D E N T D E P R E C I A T I ON . The Viking suggests that the new Board of Control, in beginning its year's routine of solving the student body problems, attack first that one which seems to warrant the most serious consideration, that little old problem of "student appreciation", which in the.light of recent events might well be renamed "student depreciation". The Viking does not suggest that to solve this problem will be an easy matter. , On the back of one of the Viking questionnaires collected after the assembly a week ago, appeared a bit of impromptu student writing which expressed very well a certain viewpoint on the appreciation problem. This is an unexpurged copy: • ' Well, here we are again, suffering another of those wonderful assemblies. The so-called musical artists that entertain ( ? ) us today were three women from Seattle. I guess they are musicians all right, but what healthy, normal Normal student can enjoy such stuff as they had to offer when we can't even read the title to the piece. Maybe, if they would play something that we can hear" and associate with some written words that we could understand, we might be able to appreciate their work a little more than we do at present. • v It seems odd that the students of this school have so little to do with the selection of the program for the assemblies when we consider that it is the students that pay for the entertainment. The Average Normal Student. Many students feel that way about it, although not all of them can express themslves quite so fluently as this "average student", and an increasingly alarming number, considering the fact that this is an institution of grown up boys and girls, are expressing themselves on every possible occasion by disregarding the rules of decency and courtesy, (if they know the rules of courtesy). The Viking proposes that the President of die Student's Association invite the discussion of this question in assembly, and that the Board take some action regarding what is becoming an increasingly disgraceful situation. The Viking suggests that one of the following conclusions be arrived a t : that the existing program of entertainment be continued, but that the student body impose some discipline upon itself; that a different type of program be made more suitable to the "average" taste; or that the students be not required to attend recitals by musical artists. If the purpose of the assemblies is educational, the Viking suggests that the education be made elemental enough to include what the training school youngsters get a background of courtesy and good manners. Student Attacks Glub Problem; Merger Of Groups Is Suggested Well, here y'are, studes. We certainly hate to keep harping on how the time flies,., but.. gee-»-don't.. it though.

The'value of education is thus established. (And say, by the way, there's no baloney about this either. The latter missive is not of our own composition at all. We could never have written it. We have not been in school long enough. We picked it up where it had been dropped, tear-stained, crumpled, and nameless.

From Portland Mistakes are curious things. Out of them, come results great and small, tragic and humorous. One recently occurred in connection with a student's earnest pursuit of his industrial arts project that you may classify for yourself. The student, it would seem, was interested in cement work, and particularly in t he structure of concrete roadways. Accordingly, he wrote a casual letter to the Portland Cement Co., of: Portland, Oregon, requesting information concerning the building of a concrete highway. AH of which was very good. But imagine his high consternation when a construction engineer from that company dropped in upon him, presently, to talk over the matter. The Portland Cement Co. had inferred that his interest in cement was much more sincere and materialistic than it proved "to be. Conceive also the surprise of the engineer when he met for the first time the supposed business man who was contemplating the construction of a concrete highway. Probably the shock of meeting,was fairly divided between the two. _ . „ The engineer, fortunately, posses-, sed a sense of humor. After t he matter was' explained, he laughingly supplied the student generously with the desired information, said he \ras glad to have met him regardless of circumstances, shook hands, grinned, and departed for Portland. o Photpgraphjr lt;3kss t Engaged in Art of Picture Making didn;%t have?: And another thing that turn out the way it should The car just in front of me. 0 T Kibbe Mystery Clear at Last 4.,,—„„—,„ in—mi—* mi ——nu——•mi—IIIH—nit—•—mji ]Normaliies Earn j I in Devious Waysl 4w_.n_„„__„._„»_„,_,,_»„_„»_, ARTICLE I "-r-Unconsciously sapping the life of the student". Perhaps few students here have regarded our well-thought-of clubs as having a side to them of rather a parasitic nature—which has been allowed to grow from year to year and is unconsciously sapping the life of the student.

BEIXINCHAM/ WASHINGTON »WW gt;WMWcw lt;W.'} RELAY TEAM SENT TO CARNIVAL •Tomorrow will find a relay team • f r om the Viking track squad in Seattle as guest of the University of ;•' Washington for the annual Northwest relay carnival. Every year the "Normal school enters at least a mile relay team. In the past a medlay t e am and'sprinters have been en- .--'•'tered but because of .the. lack", of "sprinters this year the medlay team and sprinters have been omitted. The-relay carnival is represented by teams from California institutions, Oregon schools and colleges of Washington. Some of the best track athletes of the world compete at this meet which makes it one of the most interesting, meets of the United States. —o— TENNIS TEAM MEETS FROSH The Norsemen net men will meet the tennis squad of the U. of W. Frosh this afternoon^ at Seattle. During the past years the Normal tennis teams have won but two matches from the.Prosh. The team being exceedingly weak this year may bring forth just another, year of defeat for the Viking players. But some teams must be played in order that the team may gain experience for the Tri-Normal meet, which is to be held here May 24. The shortage of good competition makes it necessary that the squad meets the Prosh annually. ST. MARTIN'S GAME The Vikings will open the baseball season with plenty of pep and determination this year when they meet the St. Martin's nine on Waldo field at 2:30 Saturday. The St. Martin's school always puts out teams that are a worry to the Norsemen nine. Not much can be said besides what has already been stated about the visiting team who seem to have kept themselves in very good seclusion up to the present time not letting out any dope as to the possible strength of then-team. I think it would be altogether fitting and proper if the Student Body would turn out 100% strong , Saturday to back the team in their first^attempt. A NEW METHOD IN BASKETBALL A new method to prevent stalling was presented at the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, by Ray Hanson. There were 200 coaches from all over the United ( States discussing the game of basketball. The most important point discussed was: "Staging in Basketball". The method of enforcing the rule of anti stalling is to do away with low scores and make the game more interesting. Many of the coaches seemed to be in favor of the new plan but Meanwell of Wisconsin, and Koegen of Notre Dame thought the method meant too drastic a change from the present. The anti-stalling method is as follows: Speed, dash, dribbling, fast breaking, lightning passing, maximum of action, and no chance to stall. Here we have it. On any court, no matter how long or how short—mark a line across 44 feet from end line; -that is fourten feet from your normal defensive front line—no matter what style of defense you are using. The front of defense usually forms 30 feet from end line. When the offense receives the ball he must move forward by dribbling or passing. He is allowed one backward pass—no more. • He may hold the ball still for three seconds (officially counting to 15). When the members of the offensive go over the active line, they may retreat back to the "Action Line". Within this line they may stall all they like, pass and dribble in any direction they, choose just so they don't throw or carry the ball back over the "Action Line". On jump ball near action line the offensive may-t ap ball back overtime once. If he does this the rules for offensive basketball applies. Note: defensive will not go into offensive territory • to get the ball. Ball out of bounds to opponents— side nearest to where violation occurs. • N ' ' ' . • • /. Violation— 1. Ball passed back to offensive man standing on "Action Line". " 2 . Ball passed back to player over the "Action Line". ••.:.. 3.L Fumbled ball over "Action Line" by offensive team. / .4.

VIKINGS TO S t ; MARTIN^ NINE HERE TOMORROW Viking Baseball Team to Play St. Martin's College on Waldo Field; -Should Be a Fast Game.' Saturday at 2:30 on Waldo Field the Viking ball chasers will line up against a tough nine from St. Martin's College. The St. Martin boys have a strong team boasting victories over Gentralia Jr. College, and a p. s. : :. The Vikings have a team with lots of prospects and are given a good chance to win provided they do not throw, the game away with wild throws, as they did in their last practice game. Stiff workouts have been held all week to work off the rough spots and the Vikings are out to hand the St. Martin nina the small end of the score. Following, is a list of the probable line-up which, will start the game: Eacrett, ss; J. McCleary, rf; H. McCleary c; Thorsen lb; Iverson, p; Unger, If; Peterson, 2b; Emery, cf; Miller, 3b. '' Johnston, Gravrock, Dixon, Blan-" kenship, and a few others will probably be sent in in an effort to find the most successful combination. _ _ — o ; HUNT LEADS ARCHERY TOURNAMENT; GIRLS CONTEST FOR PLACES Miss e s Make Trip to Cabin from Whatcom Falls A tournament is in full sway now amongst the archers of the gx-oup which turns out for 4 o'clock sports. Bertha Hunt leads the contest having won two of her matches and losing none. There are yet about five matches to be played off before championship is decided. In the first round of play, Inez Krehsler defeated Josephine Welke; Marie Holzer won from Gladys Steele; Phyllis Bresnan lost to Lois Thompson; Bertha Hunt conquered Edythe Koski; and Maxine Towner won from Virginia May. In the second round which is not yet finished, Bertha Hunt has defeated Maxine Towner to hold the top of the list, and Edythe Koski won from Virginia May to come back into the conquering line. , o Barnyard Golfers Fight for Places Leaders to date in the race for "Barnyard Golf" honors are: Al Brazas, "Posey' Flowers, and Bob Carboneau. The1 rest of the boys are hot on their trails and the leaders are warned to look out. Among the handball smashers we find Kenneth Owen sitting on the top rung of the ladder with a close victory over "Sandy" Sanders. The other participants are not far behind and are prepared to give Owens a stiff battle for the top position. FOUR BALL SQUADS IN WOMEN'S LEAGUE MORSE HARDWARE ftCOlffiAip Established 1884 DISTRIBUTORS OF REAGI FOdTElALL SUPPLIES "Stafo'^Skv^, Baseball season broke loose for the women with the beginning of the intramural games. Four big teams have joined the league and some heavy competition is expected before the championship. team is announced to the public. The first-series of games have been, played off and the results show that team 1 was defeated by team 2, and team 3 gave the 4's a thrill but took the score 12 to 11. The first game's score was 11 to 6. -Members of-the team 1 are: Marie Dahl, Suzanne Waters, Esther Daw, Ruth Sammons, Helen Williams, Sadie Herriford, Vina Smith, Dorothy Rees, and Effie Nocula. • Team 2 has Iola Grue, Sigrid Wi-berg, Florence Goodman, Kitty Ze-ran, Irene Sherman, Vera Peterson, Bernice Strohm, Winnifred Closs, Ruth Lockhart, and Evelyn Crowel. Emma Van Hee, Hope Whitnock, Irene Marz, Bernice Gnagey, Gay Smith, Janet Dodson, Edna Sinnes, Rose Marie Harden, Bertha'Schrib-ner are the nine that make up team 3. Team 4 has Vera Waham, Patsy Carlton, Ann Swanson, Alice Bab-cock, Edna Greenwalt, Eleanor Anderson, Lois Thompson, Margaret Spencer, and Sally Sharpes fighting for the team's honor. Last' Saturday Miss Lillian M. George and a group of girls met at Whatcom Falls Park at 4 o'clock. They hiked to a Scout cabin not far from Lake Whatcom. Here they spent some time getting acquainted with the cabin and its surroundings. Meal time soon came around. Miss George brought a reflector to bake biscuits in. The dough was mixed and placed in the reflector and nice downy biscuits were the result. Weinies and marshmallows were roasted over the fire. . The girls spent the rest of the time playing games and'singing. They left the cabin at 9:30, after a very eventful afternoon and evening. 19 GIRLS WILL PLAY AT U. Tomorrow, 19 girls leave for the University of Washington, accompanied by Miss Margery Horton, Miss Ruth Weythman, and Miss Mildred- Jewell to attend the annual play day. Last year, the sports day was held here on the field, and a separate swimming meet at another date at the U. of Washington. This year will be a combination of the two, swimming for all members from 10 to 12 and outdoor sports will be played from 1 to 3 in the afternoon. There will be a luncheon at the Commons and girls will be officially registered in the morning at 9 o'clock. Sports in the afternoon will be tennis, baseball and volleyball. Girls attending the meet are asked to bring swimming caps only, since towels and bathing suits will be given out there. Four cars will leave Bellingham at 6:45 in the morning and will return that night by 7, so *•.*.«*. girls will be home to get ready for t h e informal. The nineteen girls going are Ruth Sammons, Lois Thompson, Irene Marz, Clara Zaddock, Sigrid Wiberg, Marjorie Coventon, Mariette Bergeron, Louisette Bergeron, Olovene Bewley, Katherin Zeran, Marion Marchand. Phyllis Bresnan, Vera Waham, Kathryn Graham, Virginia Carleton, Joyce Arnold, Margaret Sater, Alice Babcock, and Thelma Hilburger. Lois Thompson has been in charge of arrangements for the Sports day.

FIFTH GRADE GIVES ASSEMBLY Friday morning, April 25, the fifth grade, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Osborn, gave a program in rhyme and song, before the students and teachers of the Training School. The assembly came as the culmination of the winter's Vork in health and cleanliness, and the spring idea was carried out in every detail. The stage was decorated in greens and spring flowers, arid the dainty printed programs were in yellow and green. The program consisted of poetry and songs of nature, interspersed with a group of rhyming riddles illustrated by t he students themselves. Exhibitions of: outdoor play," including tumbling acts and pyramids by the boys of the class, added to-the variety of the program, which was greatly eh joyed by t h e audience and received much praise. •••"'•-• ' •'.' 6-— .' LUNCHEON FOR MOTHERS The children of the kindergarten and Miss"... Priscilla Kinsman were hosts at a luncheon Friday noon, April 25, for the mothers of the class-. The plans for the party were worked out by the children on Monday of that week, when the responsibility involved by such a venture and "the detailed arrangements were talked over. Invitations, doilies arid place cards were made, and a most palatable menu consisting of salad, sandwiches, radishes, hot chocolate, Dixie cups and cookies, was served. AH t h e labor was done by the small hosts and hostesses, and the guests, who numbered thirty mothers and seven. teachers, were taken care of, in a most hospitable manner. •— -o———— CLUB BUILD AH1PLANES ; This quarter the Training School Hobby Club, of ; which Mr.' H, C.

"Who are ya talkin to?" accosted a "go-getter" cop soldered to a handy bank building. "To a damn smart man," snapped Mr. Smith. THEM PROJECTS. Misses Sperry and Edens, forward looking, are looking forward pas-sievly to 1929, when it's rumored the training school project building will be finished. However, Mrs. Vaughan is glad of the racket because it keeps her people wide awake. * * * * By 1. o'clock the din is so deafening that the kids of the Tennyson class, when writing notes, have to write twice as large. * * * * Movements are on foot to have Arestad ride a motion through in next Student Forum to celebrate a "shut up week" between the ending of the project and the start of the new library. * * * * One of the teachers wanted to dismiss class and let the students roam the halls, but the students simply wouldn't listen to-it.

MISS M A D D E N IS A U T H OR Plans for First Contest to be Held During Winter Quarter Are Now Well Under Way. "They laughed when I sat down to the piano, but when I started to play—" This is but one of the many fearless testimonials sent in by Mrs. Orphena Smith, sister-in-law of Mr. Smith of Chicago. Friends of the press will remember her recent picture showing her come-back at Normal-after only taking 42 bottles of Lydia Redham's lard especially melted for .toast. ; , A mild sensation spread over the nation when only last month-Mrs. Smith daringly stood up in a row-boat in a yeasp ad. Will you always sit resignedly in assembly while others talk or play? You are young, gloriously and vibrantly pulsating with youth. Learn to play. You need never again to envy Floyr Henri ck-son or Thelma Butler when they play around Any day-we might start a correspondence school. Enroll now. The faculty committee in a peppy 2 hr. meeting yesterday, decided to begin the Nov. 24th Class today! Just, send us two 'dollars, to cover cost of packing of our printed postcard explaining what to do with a piano, before your sister's daughter who plays, visits you. K you-haven't two dollars in change,-Just send a signed, blank check. No/trouble; No extra writing. 'Wedo ihe rest. .•'.'•"';:'. To supplement debate work and to provide an activity for students' unable to participate in forensics, a quarterly extempore contest has been arranged by the speech department Many students who wish to engage in debates have not the time to devote to the necessary preparation. According to the proposed extempore contest everyone with ability should have an equal chance. Plans Are Made. Alma Madden, of the Speech department is author of this new plan, and has drawn up the following provisions: 1. All students are eligible to enter. 2. This contest is formed to encourage readiness in organization and presentation of material. 3. Subjects will be posted at 8 a, m. on the day of the try-outs. Try-outs will be held from 4 p. m. till G p. m. '4. From this try-out six students will be chosen to appear in a final contest in assembly. 5. Subjects for the final contest will be given out at 7 o'clock of the evening preceding the assembly contest at 11 o'clock of following morning. 6. Two students will be chosen from each quarterly contest to appear in a yearly contest to be held during the spring quarter. 7. From this final contest one student shall be chosen to have his name engraved on a silver cup. Contest Next Quarter. That extempore work be organized and encouraged through inter-club competition is the suggestion of Miss Madden. Plans are now being prepared for the first extempore contest to be held during~tlie winter quarter. WEDNESDAY—Nov. 24. • - Russian Symphonic Chorus at the Christian Church, 8:15 p. m.

(Continued on Page Four) Lord Strangewon's Wife and Lady Elspeth Furnish Much of Intrigue of the Plot and Humor. The Normal Drama Club under the direction of Miss Madden will present "The Road to Yesterday" in the Normal school auditorium Friday and Saturday nights, December 10 and 11. A romantic comedy filled with tense dramatic situations is the play. The theme centers about Midsummer Eve and reincarnation. Elspeth Tyrell, an American girl visiting in London, feels that she has been there before in some former existence. On Midsummer Eve," which is potent for wishing, she wishes the whole company back into the long ago. In the second act the curtain rises on a tavern scene of 1603. Everyone in Act 1 has become his former self, persons of high degree are servants, and the average persons are great ladies and gentlemen. Elspeth alone is aware of the change in their fortunes, and she makes humorous comments introducing modernism into the conversation which are reminiscent of "A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur." , Lord Strangevon Cruel The shadow which seems to hang over Kenelm Paulton, the young officer of the first act, is explained in the second and third acts. As a cruel and merciless master, Lord Strangevon forces his ward, Lady Elspeth, into an unwilling marriage. Reformado Jack a traveller of the broad highway, whom Lady Elspeth has met in disguise attempts her rescue. Lord Strangevoh's wronged wife, a witch and a gypsy furnish complicating elements for the intense drama which follows. In the third act, on the night of Midsummer Eve, at the stroke of twelve, La'dy Elspeth," involved too deeply in the dark meshes of her dreams, beats at the gate leading back, crying for her wish to be unwished. General concensus of opinions tend to acclaim the Freshmen Mixer, of Friday last an astounding success. Much of the dance goes to Freda Miller and Sara Ellingsworth who spent the entire evening serving punch to the dancers. The program presented in the assembly hall at 8:00 o'clock preceding the dance was acclaimed by all an outstanding performance and was quently • interrupted by volumes of applause from the gallery. Miss Keller of the Physical Education department was given a beautiful bouquet, of flowers for the service she rendered the Freshmen, which made made the dance and program possible. President and Mrs. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. Huff, Mr. Arntzen, Miss Keller and Miss Eriekson were hosts and hostesses at the affair. One,of the largest crowds that has ever attended an informal dance at the Normal was present to whirl and twirl to the elucidating notes of the Chuckanut Manor . Syncopators. . In the midst of all the splendor cast upon the scene by the Freshmen girls a few staunch Sophs could be seen gliding blithfully through the crowd. Neva Cayes and John (Kerr received a large box of candy for the prize waltz. About twelve couples participated in the contest.^ Lancelot Con-stantine and his partner, whose name could not be secured, were' runners up. for the coveted prize and honor. Editor's Note.—Mr. Rice did not enter the prize waltz contest because he did not want to. He felt that he could not enter alone, so there you are... Sullivan., drank ..more punch than any other person present. Dan Beighle, of course, was a close runner up. The applause from the gallery was donated by Lyman Stickney, "Boliver" Estill, Leland Shelton, Dale Annis, Joe Hermsen, and Earl 0'- Grady.

Thpse who have been doing satisfactory work in school so far have good reasons to offer thanks to whomsoever it is due. But, how about those who have fallen below the set standard? What grounds could justify their thanks? Thanksgiving is said to be a day expressly set aside by proclamation of the sovereign ruler of the nation for a solemn thought of the benefits, comforts, and gains that have accrued to the nation during »the 365 days following the next preceding Thanksgiving. We wonder what the people of the State of Florida would consider as a justification to their raising prayers of thanks on this solemn day? Byv. A::V. My wonder is doubly great when I think of. the Japanese earthquake of 1923. The Japanese thanked the nations that rallied to their relief, but when that Empire offers thanks to a Supreme Ruler for His-love and kind-, ness toward mankind^ the situation turns into a paradox, to me. HURRAY OF THE RAISE! "Our annual for 1927 is going to be as good as it is possible to make it," says Katherine Leach, editor of the Klipsun. The two measures passed by the student body in the quarterly forum last Friday, puts the Klipsun on a sound financial basis. Notwithstanding the fact that the cost of printing and engraving is slightly higher than last year, with at least a thousand dollars more to budget with it should be possible to publish the best annual ever. As shown by the ballots, 532 students voted in favor of the measure to compel December and . March graduates to purchase the Klipsun. 407 voted to raise the price of the book fifty cents per copy. Then, of course there were between 350 and 400 who didn't vote at all. You know the type. Those who just sit in their seats, passe like and as Iago said in his 408th line of Othello, Act I, Scene III, "are tenderly led by the nose . as asses are." We now have enough money to pay for good engraving,* with the result that more departments may be developed and a larger and consequently a more popular sport section may be edited. .Jfk We can be thankful that we have a student body that is interested in our annual and supports it in every measure propounded for -tas advancement.

Every Monday, ^Tu^jday,J and Thursday;^ at)'"oiie ^cloclt a group vofv»e^hdigantli eighth grade children are let loose to climb over the little half finished shed on the hillside. If that is half of the class work required of the student teachers we'd like to do our student teaching in this district, perverted course in steel ship building. This building project seems to be carried on for the especial benefit of the one o'clock classes. How are we to get our $ 5 0 . 00 worth from our classes if we are continuously annoyed by the incessant banging and clanging of the hammer wielders from the Training School. It surely would be pleasant to spend one one o'clock class in peace sometime before this quarter elapses. It seems as though this project will be finished soon. But then we wonder when another .of these typical two-year projects will be started again, perhaps with mora enthusiasm and noise than the present one. — o ODE TO A PEST Oh, I would watch the silver stars And the moon above the dew Oh, I would look at the singing brook But I would not look at you. Oh, I would laugh when the dusk is cool . And the sky is deep and blue Oh, I would laugh when my heart is free But I would not laugh with you! Oh, I would walk a pine-deep glen" And dance the forest through Oh, I would walk by the sounding sea But I would not walk with you! Oh, I 'm in love with the cool spring morn " And the sky and the sea and the dew Oh, I'm in love with the wind and the -: ', '. trees"'. ., . / ' - , ^ u t I'm not in^love with you! 'Vv-'^V'.^ . ;.\,—-Junei j ^ t h e r e l l .. A couple of weeks ago achievement tests were taken . by the students. Naturally a lot of people flunked. I did in a couple of subjects. But what can you expect of me when I took those .subjects in the grammar and high schools nine years ago. I wonder if that. measures my achievement. I might just as well be tried in performing some of the "monkey business" I used to do when a child, as every child does. One good ground for students to offer their thanks tomorrow is the oppotrunity they have had for picture taking on the campus when the sun shone bright. It was a happy sight to me to see co-eds and otherwise, strutting along the campus paths with an A-l Eastman kodak or perhaps a second-hand One dollar Brownie, and taking souvenirs of these happy college days. They are preserving in this case that 'schoolgirl complexion," which is perpetuated in their albums. o = A thing of great importance has been brought up in the meeting of the Students' Association and through the columns of this paper. It is the HONOR SYSTEM, which means that students be left to their own honor while taking examinations. This is done in the University of Washington. The writer had the privilege of attending the University of Washington (pardon the egotism) for three quarters. I have come to the conclusion that the honor system was not successful in the University. But this is a personal observation and a personal opinion. I believe students in the University of Washington are just like students in the Normal. If the honor system was not successful among them, the chances it would be similar in our midst. I would feel prouder to fail in the examination after throughly honest work than get a double A and get the service of my neighbor or the asistance of a written code that is home-made. It is the greatest injustice to let a cheater have the honor ,and privilege of appending an A. B. to his name, and deny the same to the honest one who is just as much of a nut as the cheater is. It is very gratifying to see how the literary contest, being conducted by the Messenger, has stirred up students to wade the literary stream'. In this issue and in previous issues of this paper there has been noted an indication of the presence in the number of students whose potential possibilities in the literary field ought to merit a more-than-passing attitude. This column has recommended the idea of organizing a "Scribe's Club" to the end that these dormant or at least undiscovered talents might be brought up to the level where they rightly belong. It is hoped that a materialization of this dream would be looming up in the nearest future. I thank all who have been reading this column, for their kind attention. I thank those who agree with my views, and those who differ with me. But I should be especially thankful to those who disagree with me and answer back.

Our 1926 grid season, while not an overwhelming success, has proved one in which a high brand of football was witnessed. The Vikings • won three games, lost two, -arid; tied brie.

T INCiTUEAGUES Second Team in "A" League, While Junior Stars Enter in " B" Both Leagues Play Split Season. The Junior Varsity, as the Normal entrant in the Class "B' league is called ,played the opening game with the Midway Cigar Store team last Tuesday. As there are eight teams entered in Junior circuit they play two nights a week Tuesdays and Firdays, so the J. V.'s may be seen in action on one of these nights each week. In the class "A" league the Normal Super-Vikings, or the regular second team, will be entered. This team will play against the strongest city teams, including the regular "Y" team. There are four entrants in the league, games being played every Wednesday. - • All games are played in the Y. M. C. A. gym, two games being played on each of the scheduled nights. A split season schedule has been arranged and the winner of each half will play for the championship at the end of the second half. The Normal team's schedule for the first half has been drawn u p and is as follows: Class "A" league: Super-Vikings vs. Baker Lumber Co., Nov. 17; Y. M. C. A., Nov. 24; Brown Cole, Dec. 1; Baker Lumber, Dec. 8; Y. M. C. A., Dec. 15; Brown Cole, Dec. 22. Class "B' league; Junior Varsity vs. Midway Cigars, Nov. 16; Junior Mechanics, Nov. 26; Roland Wreckers, Dec-3; Modern Woodmen, Dec. 10; Puget Sound Light Power Co., Dec. 14; Garden St. M. E., Dec. 21; Shell Oil, Dec. 28. - Whatcom Looms As Title Winner Whatcom High of Bellingham now looms as the holder of the mythical all-tate prep grid title. As a result of the startling defeat of the strong Lewis and Clark aggregation at the hands of "North Central, 21-14, last Saturday, the Whatcom Redskins are left as the only team with an entirely clean record. The Lewis and Clark-North Central battle at Spokane witnessed the two strongest representatives of Eastern Washington in action. Lewis and Calrk an overwhelming favorite, went down before the North Central boys. A spectacular rally in the last few minutes was stopped when a on the one-yard line. As North Central has an early season defeat at the hands of Walla drive for the tying points was halted Walla to mar its record, while Walla .Walla in turn- has been licked by L.C. So nofie of the "Big Three" east of the Cascades can claim the ttile, while Whatcom alone remains west of the- mountains. AH the Southwest teams have either ttiea or losses against them, as has the strong Everett, squad; but Whatcom playing some of the best teams in the section, has a perfect record. •/.

CARVER HAS NUCLEUS Rhodes, Benson, Keplinger, Former Lettermen, Expected Next Term. After Tri-Normal Title. The initial varsity basketball turnout held of the winter was held Monday afternoon in the little gymnasium with only a few men reporting. However, prospects are bright for a wonderful hoop season, since many old veterans and several new stars are expected to be in school next quarter. The men reporting for the first time were: Ray Odell, letterman and star forward of last year; Ted Clarke, Whatcom high star and one of the best prep guards in the state; Russ Seymour, former all-city guard in Seattle. These men are expected to form the nucleus of a brilliant aggregation which will represent Bellingham Normal. Of last year's lettermen, Ray Odell and Lyman Stickney are now in attendance. Next quarter a substantial addition should give material for a winning squad. Les Rhodes, star center of last year, is contemplating entering school in time for the opening game.. "Two-Gun" Benson, forward, will also be back, while Earl Keplinger will probably be turning out next quarter. With these five men practically the whole of the 1926 team; and the new additions, should form a classy group. Several former Whatcom stars will also be out, namely: Ted Clarke, guard; Art Isaacson, guard; and Oscar Thorsen, forward. With "Bill" Wanamaker, of Port Towhsend, on hand and Benson and Hawkings from the present second squad ,the.re will be about a dozen men fighting for the coveted eight places on the first squad. This winter's team will have a real job of holding up the record made last year, when the Vikings won ten and lost three ,taking the first eight without a defeat and dropping two games to Cheney and one to the Washington Frosh. But indications point to a group that will more than be able to hold its own*,and Viking supporters may be sure of at least a ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 November 24 - Page 4 ---------- WA^ONOTON STATE NOBIL^ SCHOOL, BBLLmaHAM^WASHINaTOM WBMmmjL mry ^OWRFUL PROGRAM mpAGEANTRm mMmistDANCESANDTHANKSGIVING SONGS MARKS ± -SmRAiNlNGSCHOOLSTUDENTS ASSEMBWWHISMORNING t | M f e ^ « i ^ t o iiui spirit ; o* ; the the Children of the training school held their Thanksgiving Festival on Wednesday inbrniiag^ a t eieven o'clock ili iB a u ^ ^ ••:•-.';, ; The back of the stage was decorate d w i t h fa.ll colors, and at the back was a slightly raised platform on which the Goddes of the Harvest sat witk her three attendants. The God-i i s s was chosen from anioung the student teachers -who are doing outstanding work in the training school, aiid the attendants werertaken from the eighth grade. ' The Children in the lower grades were seated in the center of the auditorium as part of the audienc, the others were grouped for singing at eah side;, the fourth, fifth and sixth on one side and the seventh and eighth on the other The company entered the auditorium in a procession, led by the Goddess and her attendants, followed by the dancers of the harvest, dressed in yellow and red ,and the Grape Dancers in purple and lavendar. The dresses were made by the children in art and home economics classes. The processional march from 'Ath-alia", played by the Normal Orchestra, was followed by a hymn, "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come." Then the attendant of the Harvest spoke; "Behold the wealth of the field! How the valleys have put forth their Strength and fruited. The sons of Men aUk for bread, and the ground is lothed with richness. The slender stalks aire bent, and the heads hang down with fatness. Our bins are running over. These kernels shall make the strength of man's -body and the fortitude of his heart. Shall not our mouths 'sing? And let iaot one lack nourishment when the earth is full. Then bring the sheaves in token of our joy, and bestow cpm-r forting grain in proof of brotherhood." This was follbwed by the fiance of the Harvest; and two sohgs, "Thanksgiving Sdnjg" and Harvest Home," by the fourth; fifth and sixth grades, after which the Attendant of the Grapes spoke: "Bring the fruit-of the trees and the ^wealth of the vine! The earth has brought forth beauty and the garden of the world has grown food. We that ^ dwell in plenty, We that sit in full storehouse, how blessings are heaped upon us! Set them forth, that we may see how abundant is our good fortune! . Heap up the fruits and let him that is a hungered and has not, come hither and feast with us. And let the whole earth sing . 'halleluj a h ! ' " After the completion of this speech the dance of the Grapes was given. Each grade brought a basket of fruit and money offerings which were presented to the Goddess of the Harvest. The fruit was sent to the city mission and the money is to be used to help undernourished children for the remainder of the year. After the presentation of. the gifts, the Attendant of the Leaves and Flowers spoke, "There grows up from the earth fruit and grain for the support of man's body, but what shall we feed his soul? Look forth upon the hills and meadows, how the earth is clothed in beauty! The great GENERAL DRAWING IS TOBEDFFERED I gt;Je\v Cdurse is of Special Interest to Students Taking Industrial Arts for an Elective Course. Students who expect to teach Industrial Arts will be interested in a new course, General Drawing, which is being offered by the department next quarter. This course, which is very inclu- . sive, covers the kinds of drawings used for every sort of industrial pursuit, electrical wirk, house plans, cabinet work, sheet metal drawing, and blue print interpretation. . Special emphasis is. placed on the Junior High School plan which gives the pupil a chance to express his ideas in the way it is done in industry. A course in Junior High School Industrial Arts is also being offered. Students taking this course will work out prbjects for boys of upper grades in various trade activities which are used to express and to motivate ideas of social, and natural sciences. ' Students will become familiar with different kinds of vocational work which is an important phase of the Junior High School plan. So he took his pen and ink and wrote an essay on the typewriter. .... Quoth the raven: "The window's locked; try the door-r!" No. eavesdropping has nothing whatever to do with dropsy. Statistics prove that the one-handed demon never has been successful on the race track. But then, he doesn't confine himself to the race track. Well, I must close now for lack of news, and anyhow it's bedtime. Before I turn in, let's listen in: There was a gent named William Tell-o, Who never to himself had said "o hell-o." Till once he tripped and fell-o, And then got up and said "oh hell-o." • We wonder if it wouldn't liven up matters if students spent the first half of the period in recitation and the last half in somnolence. In this way one would always be refreshed by a hearty sleep for the next class. Of course the Rip Van Winkle stuff could be dispensed with during four o'clock classes, since there would be no next period... If this were reduced to a definite schedule, it might be dubbed "Roar a while; then Snore a while." HONORJSTS FACTION LAUNCH STUBBORN FICHT FOR NEGATIVE SYSTEM, BUT ADMIT NO CHEATING IS DONE NOW Bryan Hankins, launching one of the most spectacular arguments ever presented in a student's forum, for the Honor System, last Friday, found plenty of opposition from both gallery and pit. It is the most formidable approval that a sane person- has given the Honor System in the last ten years. Mr. Hankins, in a compassionate mood during the height of his speech, stated very emphatically to the pleasure of all, "Personally, I don't" see why we cannot have an Honor System in this gchool. We are at that stage of development where we can accept the Honor System for what it is worth. Why, under the;present system a person does not have any chance to cheat.' Here ,a deadening boo, boo! .-••••. Following the mean attack flung / a t the Honor System by Hankins'. opposing faction a fast and- frivolous tete a tete was engaged in by ardent 'believers in and objectors to the question, "be it resolved that this; ,;the .studenjfc body of the only Bel-lingham State Normal ~School in the JTJnited States look into and consider | h e cost (not with the intention of ;/^buying) of a voting machine; which !Vr:"^ll-; ;'autbmatieally;..cast the~vote of :!

And sing for joy that our minds are open to beauty and sing th4t there is so fair a world td feast upoh."- This was answered by the Goddess of the Harvest; ir\Vhat shall I bring in gladness? Not grains that nourish man, nor fruits that solace him, nor flowers that cheer him. But does the earth labor and bring forth harvest, and do her works perish utterly? Does man consume them and go down to the grave .barren ? Rather dp earth's seeds take root in men's hearts and there come to fruition in joy and gentleness, and love. And are not these to be prized above all other things? Of these, then, I bring the memory "to crown our heaped-up blessings. And my heart sings in joy for my brother man with feet that run across upon errands of mercy, with hands that serve in loving charity, with souls that suffer long and are kind, with minds that soar up into the high places of the universe." This was followed by "Harvest Song" and "Now Thank We All Our God," by the seventh and eighth grades. The program ended with the Litany of Thankfulness, led by the Goddess of the Harvest.

Immediately following the disapproval of the students' to accept the voting machine project a-motion £or adjourment was given directly from the floor and accepted most graciously by the chairman. The motion was not rejected, but was followed almost instantly with 'a • magnificent booh, and a mad dash for the Dorm to get to the clam chowder which is so necessary for school children of this age.

" " :; : The great struggle against terrific natural forces in the rarefied atmbs phere oh the very roof of the' world by the Mount Everest expedition was pointed out by Capt. No^el. Mr; Noel was the official photographer for the 1924 exposition and for!-tljree pre? vious expeditions to Mount Everest as well. The story he told was one of failures and^triuniphs, and with the aid of Motion^pictures he brought a complete story of the attempts to scale the dizzy heights'of- the highest mountain in all theAwprld. Asked by Geographical $ociety "At the invitation of the Royal Geographical Society," Captain Noel pointed out, "I , accompanied the Mount Everest Expedition of 1922 and 1924 as official photographer." He took with him lt;-four cameras to insure against the ever-present possibility of having -an accident.•, Besides that, supplies of films and plates, developing tanks, and other paraphernalia were packed in specially made steel cases.

REPORTORIAL STAFF Les Abshire Myer Thai ' Gordon Leen Glen Fairbanks Florence McNeil ' : Mae Barbo Millard Sutherlen IFred Schwah : / As faras BeH^^ sang its swan song on the ice encrusted Waldo field last Saturday after-. ttoot^ As usual Bellirigham had a good team, a winning team, but as usual, a team that just fell short of the goal- it was aiming for. Does Ais type of conduct\carry over in other lines of endeavor at this school? '/'Vr,/,.;'The question of whether or not Bellingham State Normal School had a successful football season cannot be determined in terms of the number of games won and lost during the season. If We could point only to an undefeated team, a championship team and say, "Football was a bag success this year; we won every game," it would be still a *• bigger loss if something else Had not been gained with it. If our team should lose every game, and still we could feel that the school had gained ''that something" from the team's efforts, it would justify our saying, "Football was a big success this year. Even though, we lost every game we gained that feeling of loyalty and unity-that we need in our school life." Football does not make money here as it does in many larger schools. It cannot be justified on those grounds. Indeed, it takes forty percent of all the funds gained from the Student Activities • fee of the fall quarter to pay for it. Was it worth the price? It vs impossible to measure how many o f these rather abstract qualities were gained. It can only be sensed by observing the general tone of the student body. Consider also the percent of students who actually attended the games. ..''-.•...' v : •:''• vff A football team also has a certain amount of advertising value to the: school. ./• ;Abput$W^ iThe^ncquf|oor; |qfj thie^ 1 1 m u i $ ¥ ^ •Befbre^'limf.ncjfc^ His partner said: "Why look so blue ?

CLUBS—AND SUCH ~':';• Ciiice upon a time we heard that there was once an active club in the school. Even i r there, was. we wouldn't believe there was. We don't know what sort of a thing an active club would be. _ . J _ ^ . _ People have been asking the same old question, "what's the matter with the clubs?" for'a long time. If the clubs,-the majority of them, keep on in..'the same way the question will continue to be asked until they are entirely extinct. Far be it from anyone to bemoan such a fate* for the clubs deserve no less, and the sooner the dead timber is removed the better. ~ ^ W remedy for these dying clubs, which no doubt once were active? The Messenger advances the opinion that only those clubs which have some purpose, or objective are the ones which are in any' . degree active. And this objective must be V E R Y OBJECTIVE. An objective objective. That is, the club must have some one specific function.,.to perform and this must be •,very definite. An example of this is the Drama Club which produces a play every quarter. In functions other than this the Drama Club in the past has not shown forth^ts light 'very strongly. The only other club that comes to mind ~ as havingVa definite function is the Scribes Club, with its quarterly publication of theRed Arrow. ,:• Social clubs are practically on the rocks; departmental clubs are not muchbetter, haying* become merely social for^want a gt;t any definite objectives. The Philos haves strayed far from their original purpose of being a debating society; theThespians have been robbed of most of their glory ais a dramatic club by the Dramia Club proper. One .might go through the whole list, citing similar cases. V - S o c i a l clubs, with an active social program, are needed. It would' i be far.; better if these so-called departmental clubs would get away from the abstract generalities characterizing them, and find some concrete functiph, probably in the line of social prbgrains, to give their work a definiteness which they sadly need/ "'.' ^ Don't let your daughter come to the city and its dazzling lights.

Then, out of the oozy mass of mire and bespattered athletes, stepped "Chuck" Erickson, flashy Blue and White quarterback, who goosed the ball over for the,touchdown/ The /faint growl of the Husky manifested itself in^the second period whenj taking advantage of Erick-son'g blocked punt which was recovf ered by the invaders on .the 12-yard mark, the Supers crashed over their lone touchdown. Their try-for-point failed, however. It wag Harney, the towering University fullback, who was "responsible for the six-point blot which was placed against the Vikings.

Likewise just can't help remarking on the fine days that are favoring us in our hours in and out of the classroom. Yes, the green effect on the campus is great. W. S. N. S. After lots of the students had departed from the Campus Day playground, the delayed fire department arrived with several lines of hose all set to conduct a water fight. It was good while it lasted, with Iboth the boys from Reynolds Hall and those from the "fire" hall finding out that the water mains carry force. (House-reporters' news style.) W. S. N. S. Some things that go on here among educated Normal school students, are hard to conceive. Not long ago two new cots were left in the janitor's office, "unguarded." During the hour some one nicely amused himself with some implement for cutting wire. At least, the springs were found in two sections. W. S. N. S. : Little forms of amusement like t h a t get people nowhere. All through school we are taught against that sort of vandalism. Yet we still find it cropping out. The writer can't imagine himself slipping quietly through the door with a pair of pliers and having a wonderful time cutting bedsprings. Without a doubt some student's brain needs an overhauling. W. S. N. S. Last Fall and Winter quarters the men of the school made plans for a big smoker. They planned to sell tickets and raise a little money. Tor various reasons the plans never materialized. Then came the Informal less than a week ago. W. S. N. S. Near the end of the informal, although a big surprise, the men had their little smoker. The officials of the club erred, when the big moment came. There was their chance to make a financial gain on the smoker, and no one was appointed t o Dass the hat. W. S. N. S. - Some time ago these same men held a big meeting at which a discussion was started over the poor facilities for the boys in the Nurses' office. A conference was held, the men scored a homer, and recently a men's waiting room has been partitioned off. It is great stuff men, but don't forget to turn sideways and duck your head as you pass through the door. The writer knows "what he is talking about. W. S. N. S. Like signing a letter, we'll add that we are late with our copy and must close now. In fact, we are all late with our copy this week. The editor has been away, and just like the cat, whenever the Editor is away The mice will play. YE PROF'S DIARY Oyl-Oyl-Oyl!

WINNERS OF SONG CONTEST DECIDED BY SEVEN JUDGES No Song Excellent Enough to Be Awarded First Place, So Board, Will Give Three Equal Prizes. After many, many months the Song Contest, has actually reached a goal. The judges decided that no song was excellent enough to be awarded first prize, but submitted three songs of the highest and of equal merit to the Board of Control as the winners. In view of this, the Board decided to combine the sums for the second and third prizes, which amounted to $30, and divide it equally among the three winning writers. In judging the songs the chief difficulty seemed to be that where the music was good the words were poor and vice versa. Following are titles of the winning songs and names of the composers: Robert H. Hayes, whose song is "The Normal by the Sea." Mr. Hayes attended school here last fall as a special student and his home is in Everett. Jack Gudmundson wrote the words and Oliver Gudmundson the music to "Sing a Song for White and Blue." Jac kis a Normal graduate and is now in California, while Oliver is a Whatcom High school student. Edna Boone Pinley is author of the words and Aileen Hurlburt composed the music to "Hail to Normal." Both are attending Normal this quarter. The songs will be introduced to the public sometime next week when they will be played by the Pep Band and when the winners will receive their awards. The committee who willingly gave their time in judging the songs was composed of^ H. E. Fowler, chairman; Harold B. Smith, Albert Boo-man, Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, President C. H. Fisher, Sue McMillan, and Herbert C. Ruckmick. Freshman Picnic At Samish Lake Is Big Success SCHOOL SPONSORS SUMMER OUTINGS Hey! Hey! And the Frosh class picnicking went! Going down in cars, the Class spent the afternoon. with baseball games and swimming, in very cold water at Rainbow Beach, at Lake Samish, last Friday. After sports a grand lunch was served to the crowd and at 7:30 dancing at the pavilion was in season with music furnished by the "Five Bumble Bees." Earl Hutchins was in charge of the picnic and had working under him Jack Musser, Alan Cowgill, Aileen Hurlburt, and Everett Emery. MANY SECURE JOBS DURING PAST WEEK Week Proves to Be Exceptionally Busy for Appointment Bureau— Three Employed as Principals. kant get seetz H'ray! Vanadis Bragi Holds Lake Samish Outing Today at 4 O'Clock Friday. With a picnic, participation in the Viking Vodvil, and a beaeh party, members of Vanadis Bragi have promise of being very active the remainder of the quarter. Today at 4:00, there is to be a big picnic at Lake Samish, with swimming, boating, games, and dancing. Rapid progress is at present under way for a big surprise act in the Viking Vodvil. With summer so near at hand, out-of-door affairs claim the popular vote, and a beach party is promised for. next week-end. o TESTS TRIED The preliminary form of the Uniform Placement Test in English, on which Dr. Harry Masters and Herbert E. Fowler having been working, was given to several English classes last Monday and Wednesday for experiment. This test is similar to the English achievement test now used, attd will be used by the higher institutions of learning in the four Northwestern states of Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington next fall. A recreational bulletin has been issued by the Normal in which plans are listed for the outdoor activities during the summer quarter. It is expected that a large number of students and members of the faculty will scale Mt. Baker on July 18, 19, 20. Early in July the school is sponsoring an outing to Hannegan Pass, which will be the goal of another hike the second week of August. Hiking and boating trips are being planned to Deadman's Point, Lake Padden, Chuckanut Mountain, Toad Lake, Lookout Mountain, Twin Lakes' Pass, Skyline Ridge, Victoria, B. C, and to Sinclair Island, where the Women's Athletic Association has a lodge. o TOTALS EXPENSES The bulletin issued by Normal on the courses at the Friday Harbor Biological Station for the summer quarter beginning June 16, totals the expenses of the nine weeks' course at $90. They are divided as follows: Tuition fee, $15; general laboratory fee, $5; boat fee, $2; tent, $6.50; board, $49.50, or $5.50a week; stockroom breakages and the like, $5; books, $2; and incidentals, $5. o CLASSES TO DISMISS This afternoon at 3 o'clock, Ellens-burg Wildcats come here for a dual meet with the Vikings. Little of the visitors' strength is known, but the Vikings are expected to come out on top. Classes will be dismissed at 3 o'clock. A number of people have been placed in teaching positions for the ensuing year during the past week by the Appointment Bureau. David Hansen will be principal of the school at'Van Zandt, and will teach grades 5 to 8. Aileen Wolfe has grades 1 to 4 in the same school. Percy Cox is to be the principal of the school at Alderton as well as teaching grades 5. to 8, and Margaret Kerr will teach grades 1 to 4 at Trinidad. Mabel Ryen has the intermediate grades at Kingston, Edward Dinger-s'on will be the new principal of the Carol Point school and will teach grades 5 to 8, and Martin Pederson will teach the upper grades in Marysville. Lulu Rugwell and Dorothy Walker have received positions in Ax-lington, Miss Rugwell teaching the fourth grade and Miss Walker the intermediate grades and music. Jeanette Robillard will teach either the third or fourth grade at Mountain View; Vera McPherson has the primary grades in the North Creek school in Snohomish County; Alice Mather will teach the upper grades at "Glen Echo," and H. Raymond Johnson will coach and teach Ind. Arts at Duwamish. Eva Catline will teach English in the Junior high school at Port Townsend and Grace Olson will have the primary grades in Coupeville. : o New Pamphlet Gives Schedules TRI-NORMAL MEET TO BE HELD HERE SATURDAY, MAY 24 Vikings Hosts to Cinder Stars, Gathering for Annual Contest Between Three State Normals. A pamphlet announcing the summer quarter, June 16 to August 22, has been issued and is a handy guide for both new and old students. It contains the quarter's calendar, faculty, general information, requirements for certificates and diplomas, courses of instruction, and schedule of classes. Its greatest innovation is the new method of issuing the time schedule, taking the place of the large sheets formerly used. The classes are listed under the hour at which they come and the catalogue number, descriptive title of courses, days, credit hours, teachers, and room are given. o PRESENTED IN RECITAL Jack Ellwood Schaeffer, a Normal student, was presented by Edna Baylor Shaw in a piano recital last Tuesday evening in the Pine Arts Auditorium. Mr. Schaeffer is an advanced student and his program was chosen from some of the most famous masters of musical composition. May 28 Date of Extempore Contest Preliminaries; Finals To Be June 3 The third quarter spring preliminaries for the purpose of selecting two people to compete in the final Extemporaneous Contest, will be held Wednesday, May 28, at 4 o'clock p. m., in room 308.

In all there will be some fifty athletes participating, with coaches, managers, and reserves completing the bevy of those connected with the cinder sports. Cheney and Ellensburg are planning to arrive some time Friday, and will be all set for the first event of the program. This is scheduled for 9:30 Saturday morning, and will take place on the High street tennis courts. Eighth Meet This will be the eighth annual Tri-Normal meet, having been held consecutively since 1923. The meet rotates each year between the three schools, although at one time Belling ham was host two years in succession. A large cup has been secured this year, and will be kept in circulation until one team has won it three times, after that it will be theirs permanently. Details of the donation of the cup have not been released, but will be announced in next weeks Viking. Events Begin Friday For the local students the events will really get under way Friday morning. At that time the Souvenir Track and Tennis programs will be put on sale in the assembly. The booklets are being put out by Jack Greaves and Gordon Leen, while Lyle Summers is handling the circulation end. (Continued on Back Page) RUCKMICK AND RULE ATTEND CONVENTION H. C. Ruckmick and Paul Rule, instructors in the Industrial Arts department, attended a convention of the Western Washington Vocational Teachers' Association in Everett last Saturday, May 10. They report that the whole tone of the meeting was extremely progressive as far as educational outlook is concerned. Of vital importance was a discussion on the establishment of courses in the higher institutions which would lead to degrees for shop teachers in Junior and Senior high schools. The new State course of study in Industrial Arts which is coming out soon was talked over and a project for interesting Junior and Senior high school people in aviation by building model airplanes and man- ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 16 - Page 2 ---------- ISSiS^ '•'•:• •' lt;: ::.[••':• ^ Formerly The Wee~iy messenger—Founded 1899 Published evfcry Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal,.

Fmtey ElUnor Anderson Dorothy Sasse Eileen Runnals James Rork Arnold Johnson Charles Dewey REPORTERS Mrs. S. H. Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren MUSIC A N D A RT CHve Bell, in developing his hypothesis in " A r t , " declares, It is use-less for a critic to tell me that something is a work of art; he must make me feel it for myself. This he can only do by making me see; he must get at my emotions through my eyes. Unless Jie can make me see something that moves me, he cannot force my emotions. I have no right to consider anything a work of art to which I cannot react emotionally. As we understand it, the reason that concert artists are brought here is to provide us with an opportunity to learn to love this beautiful art which is music. W e are to listen to singers, pianists, and violinists of real merit in order that we may become acquainted with all of the beauty which we are assured will be opened up to us if we understand music. We are to listen to musician after musician in order that we may become sensitive to tone and rhythm and harmony, and in order that we may react emotionally, and be made to feel happier, or bigger, or finer, when we hear true artists making true music. Being lovers of the music which we can understand, most or us are making an honest effort to become conscious of the values in what we are told are the higher forms of music, which may be found in that music which is offered in the Normal assembly once or twice a week. And yet, we doubt if there is a great percentage of the people in the student body who get an emotional reaction, who feel real pleasure in the majority of the concerts which are offered, although individual artists with particular charm, or with a familiar repertoire may occasionally elicit the kind of reaction which we believe should be the common, rather than the unusual response. lt; • We believe that there is something wrong with a system of education, whether it be education in appreciation of literature or in music appreciation, which attempts to cause us to find pure enjoyment in a high development of the art before we have had at least some preliminary groundwork. It seems as wasteful to start our education in music with the opera of some of the more difficult composers as it would be to start primary children off with Milton or Dante. To ask us to listen to a great pianist before we have learned to love piano music through association and instruction seems like expecting us to absorb inspiration from books by wandering through a library before we have learned to read. We believe that to appreciate music an individual must have some education in music, and we propose that an orientation course be worked out and added to the curricula, which would influence the broadening out of student appreciation in music in the same way that the present orientation courses effect the student's love and understanding for the liberal arts. We believe that to do so would be to enable the students in general to enjoy the skilled musicians and talented artists who are heard here so often, and we believe that to do so would be to open up to nearly all of the students the enjoyment which must come with an understanding of the best that music has to offer. SONG CONTEST The Song Contest committee announced this week that the first prize of forty dollars, appropriated by the Board of Control for the winning number in the contest to obtain a suitable song for Normal, had been withheld. This was because it was felt that none of the compositions entered were as good as the committee thought necessary for the school. According to authorities, song writing is a difficult and intricate art. To write a truly great song, the authorities tell us, the writer must be in the throes of inspiration, which seems to not always be stimulated by a contest. Why not leave the first prize open for the first composer who can write a satisfactory song?. Why not put it out at interest, and let the composer have it who can write as good a song as the school deserves ? Forty dollars should be a very satisfactory reward for a good piece of work, and one of these days, maybe this year and maybe next year, someone may write the kind of a song that will catch the spirit of our Normal school, and when it is written, why not award the first prize then? W e should have a really good song, and forty dollars should fan the flame of inspiration when it does start burning. N O W G O I N G O N— The Viking hopes to get a serious and enthusiastic response from the student body in the little "Letter to the Editor" contest, which is announced in this issue. The Viking'is offering a beautiful book to the writer of the best letter on " W h y I Like Normal." The first of these letters will be published in next week's Viking, and every student in school is eligible to enter, with the exception of the Editor and the Associate Editor, and members of their families. The Sad, Sad Tale of the Sad, Sad . Fate of a Horse That Ran Amuck The old horse heard the awful words, "Tomorrow he'll race the Ford," they said. "What glorious, glorious, sport we'll have." ' But the horse was silent. The more he thought the madder ' he got; He stamped and swore in the quiet night; He broke his rope and went tearing .-• ; ",oft,. . '•;••: And was not so silent. The cops were summoned to Henry street, The horse was distressing the city's peace. They-shot him dead for the good of the cause, And he lay there silent. They're serving up meat loaf at Edens Hall, And the students halt when you holler ^whoa!" Jack Musser refuses to say a word, And the horse is silent! HENNAS K RAINLESS ^P 1 1 O Well, here y'are., studes We've been trying some deep investigation. Y'know how everybody trips over those little brass-collared strips that run along the lt; edge of each step of the stairways of this building? Well, we kinda got to wondering what the heck they were turned up that way for, anyway. And we did a n awful lot of figuring; but, darn it, we couldn't seem to get anyplace. When the problem first struck us, we thought we'd solved it in the first minute. We figured that the shoe-mender's union had prob'Iy bribed the carpenters to put 'em on that way, so as to make a little ext ra business. Now, that wouldn't have been a bad. idea, either. Many's the high heel and many's the low heel we've seen parted from its-shoe on these blinkin' stairs, and we prob'Iy haven't seen everything, either. And, of course, the extra j work that's made for. the doctors might be a factor, too. Gee, we've seen people break arms or legs or backs or maybe heads lots of times, (and once we really did see a girl sprain her ankle) as they went tripping merrily down those stairs. And then, when they turned up those edges, they might have been thinkiri about the Way girls are always carrying armloads of junk and dropping things around. Y'see, things like pencils or compacts that are dropped on ordinary stairs will go a'rolling clear to the bottom. But not on ours! On ours they'll roll just the width of one step, and then they'll hit that little turned-up hunk of metal and stop! So that's one good thing. The guy that planned those rigs out might have been aiming to have quieter halls, too. You know the way kids that are a minute late go running and tearing all over. Going down stairs they'll hit the very edge of about every other step. Now, gee, you can easily see what an unholy clatter there would be if there was bare linoleum on those edges.. The metal along there makes it quieter, all right, but that doesn't explain why they turned it up. One reason might have been to make everybody step up high and quit dragging their feet all over. To be absolutely sure of clearing those little hurdles you have to step up about four inches higher than otherwise would be necessary. Doesn't look bad when everybody's doing that, either. Kind of a military effect, like the Swedish army. o .... A fellow we were talking to gave us an explanation of the affair, but we're kind of skeptical about his ideas. He said that linoleum was terribly springy stuff, and ordinary nails would not hold it down flat, since it had a constant tendency to roll itself up. So they just put that piece of metal along each edge, there, to serve as an anchox*, and weight it down. And the fellows that were putting it on let the edge turn up thai way so that their nails wouldn't roU down stairs. 'Bout the" last thing we thought of was the idea that those li'I old strips must help in preventing the spread of crawling animals and.insects and bugs and things. If a flea, for instance, was., strolling., downstairs, he'd run right up under that edge, and he'd see it was just a blind alley, and ten to one he'd be altogether disgusted and would beat it back for home again. And if he was traveling up-stairs, he'd come clambering up over the edge of the step and t ry to grab a hold on that slippery metal and ten to one he'd slip back and plunge to regions below, thereby making a total mess of himself. And that would be that! But, blame it all, after all this probing • inquiry and profound contemplation, we fail to arrive at any acceptable hypothesis for the whole business. We've handed you all the dope we were able to collect, now. See if you can figure it out. And here's luck to you! ALUnkNA WRITES Gordon Leen received a letter this week from Vivian Hancock, who is now at Walla Walla, congratulating the men of the school on their recently acquired club room. "Congratulations, oh ye valiant Viking men," Miss Hancock writes, "who out-talked the fairer ones and now have a room wherein ye may rest your minds where they must fear to tread." MAPLE BARKS By IRENE SCHAGEL The wind has been blowing down our way lately and about half the time in our direction. There is one thing we admire more than anything else in life, and that is truth—the most admirable quality to be cultivated by human nature is truthfulness. ——o ' I saw your tears, little boy, and I knew that Life had hurt you. Do you see my tears, now? o NEXT TO THE MOST NOBLE THING IS SYMPATHY—AND IS HUMAN THE WORLD. OVER. We recall one time seeing a pansy in the dust, and we paused. But, so many times when we are hurrying along this dusty road we do not have time for pansies. And then we wonder why other folks don't stop when we are in the dust.

The Frosh do not seem to be as strong as they generally are as they have dropped several games this year to fairly weak teams, and probably will be an easy match for the nine men "Pop" Gunn will send on the field Friday. We have had a fairly successful season so far. We have won one game and lost two. but both of the last games were by close scores and were won by luck. There is one factor that will have an effect, on the team, and that is* if there is a big crowd of students backing the team it is more apt to come through with a victory. I'll be seeing you at the game Saturday. TRACK SQUAD OVERWHELMS C. P. S. For the first time in years the Viking track squad did it. When the relay was finished and the points all added up the results read as follows: Bellingham, 78 1-3; College of Puget Sound, 51 2-3. The Normal cindermen really overwhelmed the C. P. S. track squad by taking 9 firsts out of the possible 14. The dope was all set for C. P. S. to easily take the met but that just goes to show you how much you can count on dope. Plummer of C. P. S. was individual high point man with 15 points, while Shelton, our weight man, was high point man for us with a total of 11 points. NET MEN TO TANGLE WITH FROSH Also this afternoon at 3 o'clock ,the Viking netmen will meet the U. of W. Frosh in a return match. In the first meet with the Frosh the Normal tennis squad was. not as successful as probably could be expected of it, but the return matches promise to be much more interesting. At least they should be when playing on our own courts. The tennis team is rather weak this season but may develop into a Tri- | Normal championship squad. The Tri-Normal matches will be played on the same day as the track meet is held, May 24. Those who do not care for track or baseball may get their pleasure watching the Norse-netmen pound the ball around for their old Alma Mater. Robin Hood had nothing on our i fair female archers, when he started a match in Sherwood Forest. Our girls have started one in back of the grandstand. By looks of the matches, Bertha Hunt is still sitting upon the pile of the fallen victims, holding her bow ready for another unlucky person. The matches are causing much enjoyment for all. There are quite a number left to shoot. When all have shot one match, the best three Freshmen and best three Sopho - mores will be picked for the winning teams. Then they will all shoot a match and the best two will be picked for the All-Star team of the school. VIKINGS WIN FROM SOUNDTRACK TEAM Viking Cinder Men Overwhelm College of Puget Sound in Meet Held Last Week at Tacoma. * M I C E JOHNSON IS LEADER IN TENNIS First Five Places Held by Johnson, Bendixon, Bergeron, Marchand, in Women's Ladder Tournament. Viking Baseball Team Meet U. of W. Frosh Tomorrow at Seattle Tomorrow the Viking baseball team meets the strong U. of W. Frosh team at Seattle. To date the Vikings have lost two games and have won one. Should they win tomorrow, they will' have a .500 per cent average. The pitching will probably be divided between "Ing" Iverson and "Tiny" Blankenship, both boys having performed creditably in their past games. "Pop" Gunn is not say ing much about the game, but the "Learned Dope Predictors" predict a close game with a probable Viking victory. The boys are all set to give the "Husky Babes" a hard fight and show them a thing or two about baseball. Saturday the Viking ball team came into its own and handed the St. Martin's College nine the short end of a 3 to 2 score. This victory puts the Normal team on even terms with the "Lacey Boys," having lost one game and won one. The game was a tight one, with St. Martin's scoring first in the fifth and again in the eighth. The "Lucky Seventh" was the Viking's big inning, scoring three runs on two hits and an error. Iverson started on the mound for Normal, but was replaced in the sixth by Blankenship,, when his arm began to show the effects of a steady attack of curve balls. Altogether it was a great day for the Viking warriors1, the boys getting the best of the Runs, Hits and Errors. Score: R. H. E.

"Pop" Gunn and Kenneth Owen engaged in a terrific handball battle the other day, both winning a game. The tie is to be played off a t ' a later day. Should "Pop" Gunn win the playoff he would be leading the pack and would be the only man not to have suffered a defeat, if he should lose, Owen would have that honor. At present Owen is.at the top of the ladder and Owen is in third place. : (J : f_ A hollow head on a new golf club helps to correct poor drives as Jt, will whistle when swung squarely. Piling up many points in the distance runs and hurdles, the Normal Vikings defeated the College of Puget Sound tracksters, 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 in a meet held at the latter's field.

Normal now attending the University of Washington, will play the part of the "Sheriff of Nottingham" in Robin Hood, tne opera to be given this spring quarter. Mr. Kerr has shown promising ability, having played the character leads in both the fall and winter quarters at the University. Bernice Johnson leads the ladder tournament, having defeated Beatrice Johnson 6-1, 6-1, last Wednesday evening. Gladys Steele walked into fifth place when she beat Florence Elliott, 6-1, 6-2. Margaret Kerr moved to seventh place by taking Grace Hess, 6-1, 6-1, and Marion Marchand holds on to eighth place, having defeated Grace Hess 6-1, 6-3. In the matches played yesterday Marion Marchand took fifth place by defeating Florence Elliot 6-0, 6-0, and Gladys Steel 6-0, 6-4. The ladder tournament has been changed so that a girl may challenge anyone above her except the girls in the first five places. When she comes that near to the tournament she must go back to regulation rules and is limited in challenging to one or two above her. Girls in the first five places are Bernice Johnson, Beatrice Johnson, Ray Bendixon, Louisette Bergeron, and Marion Marchand. Louisette Bergeron is to play Ray Bendixon some time today. _ o Green Team Leads Intramural Games In Speedball Sport W. A. A. Sells Tickets For "The Rogue Song" At Mt. Baker, Now The green team in the intramural speedball games holds all the laurels, having won the first two contests. To win the championship, three out of five games must be won. The scores, in favor of the. Greens, are: First game, 22-16; and .second game, 16-15. Miss Margery Horton is coaching speedball, while Florence Goodman is manager for the quarter.

DEMURE MAIDEN IS VICTIM OF GOLF GAME She was a sweet, demure, innocent little creature, timid of voice and eye. The very wind seemed to be strong enough to sweep her off of her feet. When one looked for her, she was to be found in the library, busily preparing herself for future class discussions. And then she took up golf! Loud is her voice as she yells down the fairways. Her language, used on occasions, would put a pirate to shame. Bold and defiant is her manner as she takes her stance to tee off. Hours on hours she practices hitting the little pill that has changed her life. Slowly, but surely shes headed for Sedro—the final resting place of all golfers. o "Cowboys" Lead Game With "Smokeater" Nine Hunnicutt's "Cowboys" held: a track meet with the lowly "Smoke-eaters" last Monday in the form of a baseball game and beat them 11 to 4. It was in the first inning that the big race was held, the "Boys" scoring seven tallies with the help of two homeruns and two three baggers. Wednesday's game between the "Sheepherders" and the "Smoke-eaters" was given to the "Smoke-eaters," as the "Sheepmen" failed to show up. This victory gives the "Smoke eaters" a .500 average, the highest they have enjoyed this season. "The Rogue Song," starring Lawrence Tibbett, world-famous baritone, is playing at the Mount Baker, and the W. A. A. members are selling tickets for the last time today. These tickets are good only for this afternoon's matinee and the evening performance, but- W. A. A. asks if you are planning to go to the show, try and make it today for the proceeds from the ticket sale go toward Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair Island. This is the last event this year that the Womens Athletic Association will carry to raise money. They have, during the year, sponsored a "rec" hour, Tony Sarg's Marionettes, and the U. A. A. Spring showers dance. "The Rogue Song" is considered an excellent production and is especially interesting to Normal students since Lawrence Tibbett was one of the musical artists brought here the last year. Katherine Zeran is in charge of the ticket sale, and working under her are Louisette Bergeron, handling tickets, and Marion Marchand, advertising. Girls selling tickets are Helen McNeil, Hope Whiteneck, Sigrid Wiberg, Charmine Whalley, Bernice Johnson, Margaret Sheppard, Joyce Arnold, Lois Thompson, Vera Peterson, Louise Oberleitner, Edythe Koski, Marie Dahle, Bertha Schreid-ner, Sue McMillan, Iola Grue, Alice Babcock, Ruth Sammons, Vera Wa-han, Helen Williams, ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 16 - Page 4 ---------- ^ i j M f ^ J WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM,WASHINGTON CAMFUS CLEANUP OF TRASH AND DIRT is REAL SUCCESS jAnnual Campus Day Goes Off Smoothly With a Combination of Work and Play and Big Lunch. Another Campus Day is over and a huge success! Sunburned faces, stiff joints, aching limbs, mercuro-chrome bedabbed scratches, and a clean campus are exhibits one, two, three, etc., respectively in the accumulated evidence of the fact. The inaugural assembly at 8:30 o'clock featured the "Follies of 1933." The Follies, ably announced and directed by Charles Dewey, gave ample opportunity for those dainty and whimsical dances, "Misses" Benny Benthein, John Smith, Al Brazas, Jack Musser, Aubrey Lundburg, Rudolph Geri and Lou Lanegren, to display their talent. "Peewee," the troupe's premier danseuse (Bill Mock, Jr.), did a very graceful "execution" of the "La Doubtful Dance." Immediately following the assembly the officers of the day dispatched the squads to various parts of the campus, where a general and thorough cleanup followed, until about 11:15 o'clock. Then the "bread line" formed in fron tof the grandstand. Here sacked lunches and a choice of pop or milk were given the workers. The afternoon's program consisted of a track meet on Waldo Field. The officials were: Starter, Fisher; referee, Bond; announcer, Arntzen; scorer, Philippi; judges of the finish first, Jones and Bever; 2nd, TUlin and Kibbe; third, Kangley and Car-rell; fourth, Sundquist and Williams, and baseball umpires, Fisher | and Bond. The four student captains were John Dixon, Red; Chas. Dewey, Green,- Alex Kuzmoski, Blue, and Ted Pederson, Orange. The events for the afternoon were circle relay, wheelbarrow race, potato race, stilt race, tug-of-war, preliminaries and finals, baseball games, Red vs. Greens, Blue vs. Orange, finals, and Faculty vs. a girls' team, and Reynolds HalJ-Firehall Water Fight. The water fight was nearly called off since the Bellingham Fire Department was busy at the Edison fire, but they arrived finally and the program continued. • The "Firemen" from 630 High street, won a decisive victory by a washout and lived up to their name. ; The day was concluded by a dance at the Armory with the "Eight Bumblebees" playing. , At midnight the day was officially announced as o'er and hundreds of happy but tired students "turned in." PRESIDENT FISHER TALKS TO STUDENT President C. H. Fisher spoke before the student body in the regular assembly, Friday, May 9. President C. H. Fisher spoke of the trips some of the faculty members have been making to various high schools in the state and of the type of work they have been doing. The purpose of these trips, he explained, was to acquaint high school pupils with the Normal school and get them interested in it. He said that he found that many of these students did not have a clear conception of the work done by the Normal schools, and it is this fact which prevents students from attending these institutions in greater numbers. According to President Fisher, the students of Bellingham Normal can do more to advertise their school by calling the attention of high school friends to the possibilities M the Normal school, than can be done by any other means. He particularly stressed this point, and asked that students remember it. o—— NAMES WANTED FOR GAUCO DOGS With their tails high and their. ears flapped forward in a welcoming gesture, three calico dogs greeted Miss Mildred Jewell, Miss Ruth Weythman and Miss Margery Hor- ' ton on their entrance into the P. E. office last Monday. The dogs' arrival was entirely unexpected and so their origin is a bit doubtful. However ,they are supposed to be the highest type of thoroughbreds and, according to Miss Jewell, belong to the washable gingham family. They have notorious expressions; and for their age are considered quite intelligent. No names have been bestowed on the canine forms, but a formal christening party is to be held soon for the orphans. Any suggestions should be turned into the P. E. office— but educational names only can be considered. o The Harvard Classic Study club met with Miss Nora B. Cummins, instructor in the history department, at the Y. W. C. A. building last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. £LUB (iflTtj GUNDERSON—HALVORSEN Saturday, May 10, occurred the marriage of Miss Olive Gunderson to Mr. Alfred Halvorsen, of Seattle, at her home in East Stanwood. The ceremony was a simple affair held in the presence of a few intimate friends and relatives. Miss Margaret McKinnon was the only attendant of the bride. An informal reception was held after the wedding ceremony and later in the evening the bride and groom slipped away, leaving for a motor tour through Southern California. Mrs. Halvorsen had been employed for a number of years with the Normal school, filling several positions during her employment. o- ENGER HALL Miss Hazel Erickson and Charles Moore, of Fall City, called on Alice Erickson, Saturday. Miss Irene Wilson was the weekend guest of Margaret Kendal. Alice Lavos spent the week-end visiting with friends in Ferndale.

Gladys McColm visited her home in Snohomish over the week-end. Helen Bessey, Daisy Mooney and Elsie Harvey attended the boat-races at Lake Whatcom, Saturday. o Training School FIRST GRADE ASSEMBLY "A Year in the First Grade" was the interesting subject of the trairv-ing school assembly Friday morning, May 18. Miss Strickland, teacher of the first grade, aided her class hi working up a most entertaining program, which took the form of a summary of the entire year's work. The first half of the hour was devoted to expressing the various ways the units of work found most interesting by the children themselves. The following is the year's program by order of months: In September, a study of boats and airplanes was made; in October, a trip to the North King at the P. A. F. docks and the harvesting of garden products were the events of interest. November brought Thanksgiving and a study of cooking! December, Christmas. In January, the play house was furnished, and during February and March time was taken up with city play. April, May and June are devoted exclusively to the garden. The second part of the program was a play, "The Laughing Garden," dramatized to music. The costumes and stage settings were made by the children, and all the first graders took part in making it a great success. o MRS WILLIAMS JUDGES Mrs. Pelagius Williams was one of the judges in the Poppy Day essay contest which was conducted in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades of the ten city schools, under the auspices of the American Legion's auxiliary. The contest ended yesterday. The theme of the essays is "What the Poppy Means to Me." As the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, nearly all of the essayists were born since the war, the conception of the meaning of the Flanders poppies is therefore a matter of education. The committee says that it will be interesting to get their interpretation. lJUST i !

TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE NEXT WEEK SHORT STORY TJe came crown the hall tc meet her. The glance of love was in their eyes. He was clean shaven, had a new shirt, new tie, new sweater, perfect hair comb, well shined shoes, and last but not least an old but well pressed pair of blue serge trousers. They talked sweet love things for awhile, with expressions of "fogginess" • on their faces, and a slight catch of the breath as they talked. Then he left, and she, gazing fondly after him, noticed the blue serge trousers and their shiny pressed-too-often appearance. Her head tilted slightly sideways, and with a big sigh she remarked, "All is not gold that gutters". T.N.P.

The grandeur and strangeness of the surroundings did not distract the students in their mid-year examinations, for their grades struck a fair median, according to Dr. Edward A. Ross, Director of Education. Upon their arrival in Bankok the students were received .by King Rama in the Throne Room. After the reception, the King and his guests attended a performance at the Royal Siamese Theater. Later during their stay, the group returned the' King's courtesy by presenting their musical comedy "Floating Around" for his pleasure. And Rama, who speaks English, seemed very much pleased. At the close of their nine days' visit, King Rama again addressed the students in the Throne Room. He complimented them on their industry and studious behavior and called them splendid ambassadors of the cause of international Good Will. \ . * # # * ILeaving the next day, the S. S.

Fish of the University of Michigan will give an illustrated lecture entitled "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory". Professor Fish is of English and French parentage, a family of physicians and teachers, and was educated at Dartmouth, Harvard and Columbia. He has directed departments of zoology in Kansas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and has served on the research staffs of the Pittsburgh Skin and Cancer Foundation, and the Department of Genetics of the Carnegie Institute of Washington. He is president of the' Research Society of Tropical Biology, lias been a member of the committee of Tropical Biology of the National Research Council, is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of numerous scientific organizations He now holds a purely research position at the University of Michigan. Laboratory at Kartabo The Jungle Laboratory, the topic of his lecture, is at Kartabo, British Guiana. It was established by William Beebe, and in 1924 it was released to Professor Fish. Kartabo is at the waters meet of two mighty rivers. Each is a mile wide but they are only tributaries of the Essequibo, eighteen miles across at its mouth. The laboratory is surrounded by almost .impenetrable rain-forest stretching southwest twp thousand miles—the largest and least known jungle on earth. A few short trails are kept passable, but the rivers are the only real highways. Professor Fish's lecture promises to be one of the most unusual and enlightening lectures of the quarter. Soprano Coming I n the Tuesday morning assembly, April 9, Gemma Paglieri,- coloratura soprano, will give a costume recital of Italian songs. The program will consist of quaint little Italian folk songs. She will be accompanied by Marjory Elwell. o— • FORD'S AGAIN RENEWED BY OF CONTROL Sam Ford Retains Position with Student's Co-op Store; Five Year's Service Cause of Action. TWO YEAR CONTRACT Two Special Meetings of Board Held on Monday and Thursday Regarding Co-op Management. GIVE MYSTERY' PLAY 'Old Nobody" is Given by Charles Rann Kennedy Players Before Capacity House. The Mathison - Kennedy - Gage players presented "Old Nobody", an allegorical play, under the auspices of the American Association of University Women in the Normal Auditorium last Wednesday night. "Old Nobody" is a detective play, wherein the audience shares in the discovery of both the crime and the criminal. The play was a comedy of thrills and mystery, involving the delinquencies of two gypsy women—and others, as the audience and Old Nobody decide. The scene is a pathless moor somewhere in America where "Nobody" knows the way. The time is the present. The play is a delightful modern and extremely wholesome production setting forth a situation that confronts us in every day life. Charles Rann Kennedy, the author, presents a new technique to the world in developing a new type from the extreme melodramatic shallow plots that so flood the theater today. Mr. Kennedy has written a number of plays, at least twelve in all. Actors Experienced Edith Wynne Matthison's (Mrs. Charles Rann Kennedy) acting was superb to say the least. It was characterized by exquisite psychological truth and subtlety, emotional mastery and matchless form. Her trained, voice always under control portrayed every situation correctly. Her interpretation of the character Moll, was accurate in every detai) Mrs. Kennedy is regarded in both Europe and America as one of the consummate artists of the day. Hei* artistic talent enables her to play the ancient Greek tragedies as v^ell as the modern comedies. .'•..„• Margaret Gage, as Meg, portrayed As a result of the hearing of the auditor's report of the books of the Students Co-op, Sam Ford was offered a two-year contract for management of the bookstore Monday by the Board of Control. Two special meetings of the board were held this week regarding the co-operative enterprise. At a meeting held last Thursday, R. H. Gould, Bellingham certified accountant who has been auditing the books, reported that ^ they were found to be in very good condition. Mr. Gould further recommended in the interests of efficiency, that certain changes be made in the handling of the bookkeeping system, and Mr. Ford stated that these changes would take place. Ford Continues At the Board meeting Monday, Mr. Ford was offered the contract to continue two years as manager of the store. In commenting on the election of Mr. Ford to continue in his office, Roy Arnett, secretary of the Board of Control, stated that its action was the result of the favorable report of the auditor, and of the belief of the Board that in the five years that Mr. Ford has been here he has shown the ability of good management, and the desire to make the Co-op a place of service to the student body. 'Sea Going" Party of Sophs Promises to Give Evening of Fun Individual Mail Boxes Installed in Co-op To Insure Efficiency In order to reduce the possibility of mail thefts and to replace the present inefficient system of student mail distribution, the Students' Co-op, at the request of Post Office officials, installed more than two hundred and fifty locked mail boxes this week A great deal of criticism, it is said, has been raised recently due to several instances of mail thefts of considerable sums of money. Edens Hall has been particularly unfortunate in this respect, and it is because' of this that beginning Monday, April 15, all Edens Hall mail will be delivered at the Co-op. Thirty-five cents a quarter is to be charged all students desiring locked boxes, while all students who do not rent boxes are to be allowed to receive their mail in general delivery by calling at the counter for it between the hours of 10:30 and 11:30 in the morning and 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. No mail is to be handed out in general delivery at any other hours. Commenting this week on the innovation, Sam Ford, manager of the Students' Bookstore, declared, (Continued on Page Four) Eighty Students Are Dropped This Quarter .[(Continued on Page"* Four) Over eighty students were dropped from school this quarter, due to poor scholarship marks received in their studies last quarter. Of. this number, many applied for readmission. The Scholarship committee, in passing • on these students, allowed about forty to reenter. These students are placed on the probation list and must raise the standard of their work during the ensuing quarter to be allowed to remain. Several of the students came from other institutions where they had improved their records since they were dropped. - At the University .of Washington over 700 students were dismissed; In this respect Bellingham Normal has just as high standard as the University in the character of the work demanded of its students. An evening of pleasure is promised tonight when the sophomore steamship "Good Fun" leaves for Normal Happyland Those who are going should plan to be at pier '29 by 8:30 p. m., as this is the sailing hour. The only restrictions put on all would-be passengers is that you be a Soph or a member of the scarce sex of "the school. Fern Johnson, general chairman, stated that the junior-senior girls were also invited and it was hoped that they would attend. Before embarking one should look over one's passport to see if all necessary items have been carefully checked in order that no disturbing factor will arise to mar the pleasures of the evening. Attractive Decorations The decoration committee has planned a number of attractive features which include life-savers, stewards, portholes, decks and the most attractive feature—that of decorating the captain, first mate and the rest of the crew is to take place this evening.

Bellingham Normal is to be congratulated for its part in bringing before the students and townspeople such artists as Florence Austral ana the Kennedy Players. . " Let us hope, then, that in the future as well as in the past, we shall continue to be favored with such fine programs as the two presented this last week. „ — h . L. C_. T H E A N S W E R TO SUCCESS What is success? Recently I saw expressed, from an entirely new viewpoint, the answer to this question. I quote it for you: 'Success is a journey, not a destination." We've been used to thinking of it differently regarding success as the possession of a certain amount of prestige, money or fame achieved only by the select few. But after all is not that rather narrow? To quote again: "It is not what you get that counts; it's what you make of what you have." There is no such thing as absolute equality, not even of opportunity. Besides that, the talents by which we are at birth endowed vary all the way from mediocrity to special genius. This new definition of success being a journey and not a destination intrigues me. Why, it makes success attainable to j i l l ! It makes daily doing of your best count for "something. It puts effort and right methods up where they belong, with eminence and fame merely as by-products. This is as it should be. —hi. JD. M. In accordance with an annual custom, which has presided in the Bellingham Normal school for the last twenty years, the Y. W. C, A. held their sunrise services, during a hail storm, on the summit of Se-home hill, last Sunday, Easter morning. The girls met at the tennis courts early in t h e morning and scaled the hillside, arriving at to top about 6:30. The program featured two messages by Vera Hembury and Grace Lytle,-a duet, sung by Frances Ragge and Lillian Jacobson, with violin accompaniment by Ethel Boynton. The meeting was presided over by the Normal school Y. W. C. A. president, Miss Florence Sutherland. o Two girls, Eugenia Hefernan, of Kelso and Bertha Hundt of Maple Falls, have been added to the galaxy at Sunset Lodge. BOOK REVIEW "Quicksaijd", by Nella Larsen. Published by Alfred A. Knopf: New York and London (1928). As a rather sordid, ironic, and oc-cassionally understanding sketch of the problem of races existing between white and black minds, Nella Larson's "Quicksand" might be cited as a good example. This problem has been entering more and more into the literature and drama of the American people and in recent years has become a favorite subject for experiments. Helgle Crane, child of a beautiful Danish immigrant and an unknown negro, is driven by her unrest to leave her position as an instructor at Haxos and goes to Ci cago. She is cast out by her mother's relatives because of her black blood and is almost in a starving condition before she obtains a job with a wealthy negro woman lee turer. With her, Helga travels to New York and is accepted into negro society. When her friend, Anne, took the man she loved, Helga again fled from herself. This time she is taken up by a negro preacher who married her. From now on, Helga rapidly sinks into the quicksand of the inevitable— she has a white soul, but she can outwardly associate only with negroes. "Quicksand" is not an overpowering novel although it does establish a perspective by which one may understand that great problem— race prejudice. It is rather well written and at least affords food for thought. Gaining Experience (Apologies to K. C. B.) Ye editor * v- ¥ * Requires of me * * * * 500 words a •£• ^ 'f' to garner week.

Baseball has long been termed the "great American game," but most of the smaller colleges have given way to football as the leader in the sport kingdom. However, in accordance with the city we should give baseball a stand close to football. The city, itself, seems to have turned almost entirely to baseball as its leading sport and now that the "home-run", season is upon us, the best way to enjoy the season is to enter into Info from the profs.

Harmony combined with novel interpretations feature this special act, which will bring genuine delight to any audience. The entire program promises to give local music lovers an evening of delightful entertainment. Admission will be 35 cents for students and 75 cents for adults. FOGGY MORNING BRINGS STUDENT AN ENGAGEMENT 'Twas a,foggy morn in April. The fog was settling fast as I hurried to the Normal to save being late to class. The fog was growing denser and my sight was getting dim, when I bumped into a teacher. I said, "Pardon me" to him. As I hurried up the sidewalk I bumped into a tree, which turned out to be a co-ed. "Oh! Beg pardon, sir," she said. Her books were scattered on the ground; her eyes were autumn brown. She said, "Pick up that pile of books; you're as clumsy as a clown!" Chagrined at the thought of this, (Oh! Would that I could hang!) so I stooped painfully to pick them up; just then the tardy bell went CLANG!!!! I gave them to her on the run and dashed into the hall just in time to hear "what's his name," my name upon the roll to call. And who should come a straggling in, with hair so sparkling wet, but the "female of the species" whose books I had upset I started up right after class and apologized to her, and then I also made a date for the Sophomore dance with her. The moral of this tale, my dears, has many, many ends, but the best that I can think of, is, you can bump into new friends! o I * THANK * YOU —E. C.

T H A N K Y O U — H O U S E R E P O R T E RS The house notes, from most of the organized houses, were turned m on time and in good shape for this issue of the Viking.

BEJXINGHAM AVASHINGTO ;1I1|I91I11I|^ V Ik i il g S p o r t P a BASEBALL HORIZON BECOMES BRIGHTER Powerful Team . Is Predicted for Coming Season. Opening Game Is with St. Martin's on Thirteenth. Viking values registered another, rise in ttie Tri-Normal stock market the other day when the diminutive power plant, Earl Keplinger, returned to school for the spring ' quarter. Keplinger is a short stop of no small ability, and his presence on the Viking squad will be a great aid to Coach Jewell and his infield problem. Keppy has had plenty of experience in the diamond game, having played two seasons with the Norsemen and several seasons with the Bellingham Tulips. With the return of Keppy and Occie Thorsen to the fold, there are now eight lettermen out for baseball, and are making it hard for the new material that is trying to win a berth on this year's diamond squad. Close Competition The fight is on between the catching prospects, and the contenders for the garden berths, since the infield posts are pretty well handled by the veterans of last year. Cold winds and rain have been a great handicap to the progress of the baseballers thus far, but it is hoped that before many days go by that the weather will clear up, and Old Sol will peek out from behind his curtain of clouds and warm up the landscape so that the Vikings can get into the heavy work of the game. So far it has been impossible to do more than limber up a few arms, and swat the old apple around the lot a 'little bit. However the varsity will have to get under way soon, for the 1929 schedule is due to open here a week from tomorrow, April 13, they will meet the powerful St. Martin's nine. So far the Vikings have had no practice games, but were scheduled to play Pairhaven high yesterday afternoon, and Anacortes high here this afternoon, if the weather and field permit. Game April 13 The game next Saturday with St. Martin's Rangers promises to be a real opening treat, should the gods of weather look favorably on our athletic field, and let the sun have its way for a few days. Though neither team can be in the best of shape, due to the lack of a longer training season before the opening of the regular playing schedule. However, there will be a real game dished up to the fans. The coach expects to have several short practices with Fairhaven and Whatcom high school teams before opening here against the Rangers, but just whether it will be done or not depends on the weather conditions during the following few days before the game. There are several reasons for desiring to have a few practice mixes before the first regular game, besides the need for early experience. One big and essential reason is to give the coach a chance to look over the new material and get a line on the men that he can depend upon to come through the season in good shape. A good season is expected by the coaches, even if the start is late. o W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES STANFORD DEFEATS HUSKY TRACK TEAM by CHARLIE HORSE Now, we have another week's task to get put away. No, Mar-jie, this is not a joke, this business is serious. * *. * * Spud, the manager, says he is no detective, but we doubt very much his word. For, if the way in which Spud spears the fly balls from the sky is any measurement of ability, he is a real ball sleuth. And Spud is not the only sleuth turning out for the national pastime. The reknowned Teddy was doing his stuff in practice the other night, and the way he was dragging the balls out of the ozone was nothing short of spectacular. World Records Fall as Stanford Outpoints Huskies, 73 to 58, in Thrilling Indoor Meet. On March 28, Leland Stanford University track stars defeated the highly touted pets of Coach Hec Edmunson of the University of Washington by the small score of 73 to 58. The early season meet was the first one to be held in the newly finished athletic pavilion on the Washington campus. The times in the track events were extremely fast considering that they were run off on a small- indoor track of 220 yards. The showing made by the local university gives one an impression of immense power as it was then- first meet of the season and the weather has not been fit to turn out regularly. In addition they were pitted against the one of the best teams in the United States who were in the peak of their form due to the long training period the climate of California affords. Powerful in Track Washington showed a wealth of power in the track events but this was more than counter balanced by the Stanford giants in the field events. A galaxy of stars were present including many peformers of national and international prominence. Among these were Steve Anderson, who placed second in the Olympics, Kiser, who won the in- Long or Short Thick or Thin on Track Team All that is necessary is for the tercollegite mile at Chicago, Krenz pitcher to throw 'em and duck, when Odell comes to bat. After he ducks, he might as well get his team on bicycles and start a hunting party. We have seen all sorts of acrobatic stunts pulled on the diamond, but the best demonstration of calesthenics is to be found in the gyratic movements of Bill Chandler when he starts after a grounder. But, nevertheless, the bounders very seldom get past the speedy Bill. * * * * Several of the other boys are showing some class in chasing down the little horsehide pill, and competition for .positions on the team is going to be rather keen for quite-some time to come. SWIMMING FEATURES LIFE-SAVING, SPLASH HOUR FOR ALL GIRLS Miss Grace Sullivan will again conduct a life-saving class this quarter every Thursday evening from 8 to 9 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. This course also counts towards making a sweater. It is not necessary for a girl to be an expert swimmer to take advantage of this class. Splash-hour will be held the same night from 7 to 8 o'clock. Girls need not sign up if they intend to go. A notice will be posted on the bulletin boards if the class does not meet. It is not too late to turn out for horse-back riding, which is held every Friday from 4 to 6 o'clock. If you are interested see Miss Sullivan. —-——o- — .' KOMFORT KOTTAGE A house meeting was held Tuesday, March 25, for the purpose of electing officers. Inger Hansen was elected president, and Inez Linden-berg, social chairman. BIOGRAPHY This week we will look over the history and record of one Charles Erickson, who for two years has been one of the leading athletes in this schoool. Charles is known by several different and un-Christian monikers, but the best known of these is the shortening of his Christian name. Commonly he is called Chuck. Chuck came to this institution in the fall of 1927, from the little town of Marysville, of which Everett is a suburb. Chuck was a star athlete in his home town, and when he came here he started in two branches of sport, and left his name printed in one other. His first attempt to break into Normal athletic circles met with considerable success. He won his sweater in football, was on the basketball squad and broke the Tri- Normal javelin record during his first year in the Viking home. During the past season in football, Chuck hung up even a greater record for himself. Then through the winter quarter just finished he did his practice teaching and was not in a position to play varsity basketball, but he did manage to help the Jayvees win the Class B championship in city league circles. Right now Chuck is looking forward to another successful season with the .Viking spear. A remarkable 'thing about Chuck is the fact that he is earning his own way as he goes to school. —B. H. An egg hunt was planned for Sunday morning, so approximately at six a. m. the girls were eagerly hunting for eggs. La Veta Smart won the prize after finding, over sixty eggs. An Easter breakfast was served by Mrs. Thomas at eight o'clock, after which many of the girls attended church services. Lilie Lead is the only new girl at the manor this quarter. Guests over the week-end at Thomas Manor were: Beth Cagh-lon of Everett and Mary Fox of Ta-coma. Both girls are graduates of Bellingham "Normal. , and Nichols, also Olympic performers and point winners. Records Fall Many records fell before the efforts of these mighty warriors.

The Women's League met at~ 11 o'clock today in the school auditorium for their .quarterly meeting. Naomi Chase, president of this organization, announced the program, which as usual was an interesting one. It consisted of a piano solo by Virginia Turner, and a talk by Mrs. Pelagius Williams, on leadership amoung women, Mi's. Williams received a bachelor's degree from the University of Akron, of Akron, Ohio and two degrees from Columbia University, those of Master of Arts and Master of Education. Informal Announced Catherine Morse announced the coming outside girls' informal, dated for May 3.. The Dance of Dreams idea will be carried out. Co-operation among those who serve on committees is an established fact with Catherine, from her previous experiences with in-formals. She announced also that owing to difficulties which arose before in signing up, t he girls are urged to each sign her own name on the paper placed on t h e bulletin board for that purpose. The first 110 people signing the paper are accepted. (Continued from Page One) Training School Famous Dramatists Present "Old Nobody" The Northwest Viking has for the past quarter contained little or no theater advertising. Beginning with the next issue you can look in the Viking instead of buying an evening paper and only what shows are in town, but also you will notice a column devoted to a short summary of the productions showing in the city during the week-end. Great Change in Local Theaters The past week has brought a great change in the local theater situation. The West Coast Theaters have been leased to t he Pacific Bellingham Theaters, Inc., which concern also comprises the Standard ^Theater Co. Dr. E. T. Mathes, former president of this school and half owner of the Standard Theater Co., now becomes manager of the Pacific Bellingham Co. This concern will operate the Mt. Baker, Avalon and American. I t is presumed that the Vitaphone equipment now in the Avalon will be installed in the American, but there is no confirmation, as yet, to this rumor. Wm. Hartford, manager of the WestCoast Theaters, will leave this city as a result of the combine. Mr. Hartford was one of the most popular show house managers ever brought here. He has worked hard to bring good shows here and has built up an enviable patronage to the Mt. Baker. In addition, Mr. Hartford has worked equally industriously in local civic affairs. It is largely his work that will give a Bellingham girl a chance to become a movie star at fifty dollars a week for an eighteen-week contract. This contest has been announced in the local papers and details may be found there. -We may notice a popular Normal Co-ed in trie movies yet as a result of this opportunity. . On Tuesday noon the Association of University Women entertained Edith Wynne Matheson, Dorothy Gage and Charles Rann Kennedy, who presented "Old Nobody" in the auditorium last Wednesday evening. The luncheon was held in the Montague-McHugh tearoom and the members and guests numbered approximately seventy-five. Mrs. Kennedy read three Shakespearian selections with interpretive genius. Miss Gage spoke on education from the viewpoint of art. She stressed the point that all education might' be art education, and that after one's school days* have passed, the ideals and inspirations will carry over into life. Mr. Kennedy spoke on education from the modern interpretive view-i point. His remarks showed him to be a master of expression. The group of songs by t he German composer Brahms were interesting features of the program. The soft, melodious "Sandmannchen" and the tumultuous strains of "Zwie Zigeunerlieder" were sung equally well by t he artist. Lovely Imcore ' Madame Austral's exquisite rendition of the "Battle Cry" was perhaps her best number. The fine expression and apparently unlimited volume made this selection an outstanding one in a field of t he greatest masterpieces. "Paradise" a group of nursery rhymes which were re-set by Herbert Hughes added a light humorous touch to the program. John Amadio, flutist, who assisted in the recital is an artist in his own right, "The Flute of Pan", which he played off stage seemed to add a magic touch to this delightful composition of Debussy's. The familiar "Song of India" found a new beauty in the capable hands of the flutist. Nils Nelson accompanied both artists with a skill which is seldom seen. Flute-like Tones The trio's final number, "Thou Charming Bird", aria from "Perle du Bresil" was skillfully executed. Florence Austral's clear flute-like tones were at times difficult to extinguish'from those of the flute. Madam Austral appeared here last year and was requested to give a recital again this season.

It starts working the moment we get up in the morning and doesn't stop until we get to class." W. S. N. S. Glen Frank, in the day's news, portrays the characteristics of the ideal teacher as listed by t he late Stuart P. Sherman of t he U. of I l linois. '"First, whatever the ideal teacher may be teaching, it will be for him a window through which he looks out upon the whole universe. Second, the mere merchandising of information will never seem to t h e ideal teacher his main purpose; t h e kindling of t h e will, the enrichment of t he emotions the lighting up of t he imagination, the making of students, sensitive and eager will seem to' hjm more important than all else. Third, the ideal teacher will not think that he has failed if one of his students fails, but h e will know t h a t he has failed if that student has not wanted to succeed. Fourth, the ideal teacher, whatever else he may do in t h e way of research and writing, will never speak of his classroom work as routine teaching, for he will know that there cannot be routine teach-' ing, that there can be only routine teachers." . . y W. S. N. S. It appears, and we might as well admit it, that the Normal Men's Glee club of the travelling variety didn't pan out this year. But then there is another year, and there are other men who will persist in attending here. Ye Prof's Diary Uv Awl Thingz—Nowe owry pewr 4 yeer stewdentz dun't evun gett aye lookinn on aye sheepskin.

The chorus itself numbers thirty-five voices, among them being the leading solo voices of this community. It receiVed highly favorable comment from Seattle musicians when the group sang before the state federation of music clubs and Mr. Raymond was complimented upon the splendid harmony in the voices of the singers. Soloist Booked The soloist for t he program will be VeOna Socolofsky, one of the favorite radio singers over station KOMO and soloist in the First Methodist church of Seattle. Mrs. Socolofsky also sang at a recent concert given by t h e Seattle Concert orchestra. Another feature of the concert will be t h e alluring new cantata, "Slumber Songs of t he Madonna", Music by May Strong, words by Alfred Noyes. This cantata has been called the most engrossing choral work written for women's voices in recent years and was also chosen as the work to be performed before the National Federation of Music Clubs. Mrs; Socolofsky will sing, the solo parts of this number and Mrs. H. H. Ellis and.Paul Lustermann will play the violin and cello obligates. Soprano Friday Agatha Turley, well known lyric soprano, will appear in recital in next Friday's assembly. Her lyric soprano voice has attracted an unusual amount of favorable criticism throughout the western states. She will be accompanied by Marjorie Elwell a t t he piano. _ -o Last Minute details Given to Win the $40 I n less than two weeks your last chance to win that forty dollars will have passed—all songs must be in on closing date, April 24. This still leaves time for you to catch that prize winning inspiration and write it out. Remember you are not required to write both the words and the music, but, you may split the duty with someone. Many students in school are doing that already. All songs must be dignified and suitable to t he future of our school. Its traditions and history might be a theme song to work upon, however, the words to your song may be of any nature but must be of a t least three verses in length. Compositions may be either the loyalty, pep or activity type and will be judged in accordance with their merit. The main thing is to write a song before the twenty-fourth of this month. Send all compositions to Guy Springsteel, chairman of the contest, in care of the Music department of the Bellingham State Normal School, before April 24. o — Epworth League Old Spain in all its splendor will be the setting of t he Epworth League Spanish Event, an invitational party for all Bellingham Normal students to be given tonight in Junior Hall by the Epworth League, young people's society of the Garden Street Methodist.

The program is original and the committee in charge promises an evening full of pleasure to those .students who.; attend. , . The cast for "Ice-Bound" by Owen Davis, which the Drama club is presenting this quarter was chosen Thursday, April 4. The judges for the tryouts were: Director Victor H. Hoppe, Miss Theresa Gunther, and Miss Lillian George. Florence Kern and Barney Chichester are taking the leading roles in this play which pictures farm life on t h e bleak coast of New England. Owen Davis was raised on a New England farm enabling him to depict in his characters the effect of a stern environment upon its people. Prize Winning Play "Ice-Bound' ;was produced by the Drama club of this schoool in 1924, shortly after it won t h e Columbia University prize for 1923, for being the best play written that year on American life as it really is.

The Whitman College Glee Club was well received by an enthusiastic audience of music lovers in the Normal school auditorium, last night. The Glee club was a novel variety in that it was composed of both male and female voices. This is a n experiment that is not often tried but went over with much success. There. were thirty-three singers in all. Much of the success of t he program was due to the direction of Howard E. Pratt, and the able leading of Mrs. Bowers, orchestra conductor. The delightful harmony combined with novel interpretations of t h e various acts was such that it could ' not' help but bring real delight to the audience.

The game itself should be one of the most exciting and fascinating of the entire baseball season, since the Rangers are boasting of an unusually fine team of heavy hitters and pitchers and the Viking squad has all the powers endurance, speed, and accuracy that a real college team should have. The Collegians are here to win this game and take home the bacon again. Last year, it will be remembered, the Rangers made away with the two battles played and so consequently they are gritting their teeth and planning to swamp the Norsemen this year; but with the fine showing the Vikings have made in the practice tilts the bacon will remain here. : It is hoped that every Normalite will be present then with an aggregation such as the students could make with batters that can bjat balls "into tj|ie middle of next week", the-Lacey Rangers will return with dropping sombreros. MOONLIGHT ON T H E CAMPUS Since the moon first cast a shadow on a lonely hill, -Bards have praised its gleaming rays as only poets will— They have found it in the desert beside the sighing sand, .Have seen it in a baby's crib, upon a baby's hand; Skipshdve sought its eerie light as they sailed the seven seas. Bull have seen a dearer sight than any one of theses- Moonlight on the campus! . Fairy'trees that'filter moonbeams to the green below. Laughs that ring from shadowed walks as class-mates come and go. Friendly!lighted schoolrooms glow bright against the night; ^Thes/e are pictures I adore when the moon is bright. Perhaps someday I'll see strange lands thai silver moonbeams kiss- ~ "** But there will never be a scene to take the place of this— '•''-' , .••; Moonlight on the campus! VIKING CUB BRINGS FORTH GLASSES ftt SEARCH FOR W E " I know the stories about cub reporters become tiresome but I have bheithat I must disclose to the public. For the benefit of all curious readers I would state that his name appears in the stick and wears a red sweater. Well, matters began something like this-^- after interviewing prexy for news, said student came up to the Viking office to write up his "big" story for the paper. Warm-he was just burning up as he had written for a solid hour on important statistics. Then it happened-^ou see he opened the window in order to be able to write a better story as he was one of these "back to^nature" men. But thats where all the trouble started, for in one second he lost what he had worked for hours on, namely the notes of the story. Nor was this all ttie wind deposited the little piece of paper in the top of the tallest tree near the office! Just then he decided perhaps he wasn't of the "back to nature'" type. Well, what was he to do? He couldn't go back and get the story over? No, that wasn't what a reporter would do. After a few minutes v of unsuccessful attempts at problem solving he at last came upon a satisfactory solution. In a few minutes he was leaning out the window—field glasses in hand vainly trying to read the inscribed sheet. But maybe the editor had better eyes, and so he'd have her come and see if she could see anything. They gazed in vain for the "dope" on the "big" news break, until she suggested he go down and shake the tree until the "break" should break its hold. After several lunges at the attracting tree, the paper floated down into the hands of the panting but wiser cub. . , Seasonal Slants Oh, Spring has come, We skip and hum, arid bring out oiir galoshes, For on the street amongst our feel a babbling brooklet sloshes; A playful breeze lays bare our knees and all spectators smile, . • When we gaily sprint, face rosy lint, for our ha( which has blown a mile. Thru snow we Wade and buy a spade, to plant each ten-cent packet, But decide to be nice as we strike the ice, and buy each seed a jacket. On the furnace we dance and glance askance at our Easter togs laid away Then for quinine we lope, it's our only hope, and shiver the rest of the day. Oh, our red nose lingers We have blue fingers, but we don't groan or holler Just gambol with the little lambs which make our warm coat collar. GAINING EXPERIENCE H6neyboi gt;Makes .»* Mistake in Theater WHEN O P P O R T U N I T Y KNOCKS Oyer eighty students were dropped this quarter since their scholastic standings could not meet the high grade standards set by this institution. Of these studens, forty were allowed to re-enter; providing they raised their levej of performance in scholarship. There is a regret and sympathy in the minds of most of the more scholarly or at least more fortu- Mate students for these people unable to cope with bur grade standard. But let us forget the more'gloomy side of the situation: "It is an ill wind that blows no good", as the saying goes. The foregoing incident readily shows the high grade standard accepted by the school; it is a thing that every school holds dear and hopes to retain. .It is sincerely hoped that those students who have been given the privilege of re-entrance will make the most of their opportunity and continue to be "among those present". TO A LOCKER THE GRATEFUL AUDIENCE • Both the Women's League and the Men's Club have given assemblies of an entertaining and enlightening nature; but very few members of these organizations have shown interest enough to even attend the meetings. The leaders of these clubs work hard and thoughtfully to arrange programs that will have value and entertainment for their members also business is discussed that is of importance to all members. Those active members surely do hot want you to feel that it is a duty on your part to attend the meetings because it would probably become just drudgery to go; but rather it should be a pleasure to participate in the meetings. Surely! at the next assembly of both these organizations we can expect a large and an appreciative audience, then the Men's Club can discuss their business and feel that all the men of the school are participants to offer satisfactory and democratic opinions and the Women's League can offer their ever fine programs to a grateful and appreciative group of members.

Tennis Tournament A ^prominent Normal student went to the cinema last Saturday night to see the "Iron Mask." As he went in he saw Jimmy and Evelyn go in ahead of him. The cute little usher, with a palpitating heart, conducted him to, a seat on the left side of the show house and towards the middle of the row. Lo and behold he saw in the seat directly in front of him, his good friends Jimmy and Evelyn, so he reached over and gently snapped Jimmy's ears and mussed his hair up a little. Jimmy turned around rather suddenly and much to ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 12 - Page 3 ---------- m ^J^ INGTON^Sl^ •'^•.•-^•»«* gt; lt;Mmi NEW TENNIS COURTS TO BE CONSTRUCTED Bids Will be Called for Tuesday and Plans Are That Courts Will Be Completed the Middle of May. W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE ANACORTES DOWNED BY NORSEMEN NINE Plans have been completed to give the Bellingham Normal three of the finest tennis courts in the State of Washington. Bids for the courts are out and will be called in : next Tuesday at which time construction will begin. The courts will be built on the vacant lot prepared for^ this purpose next to Baugh-man's. College Center on High street. They will be laid out to north and south and will be of standard size, with a backspace of twenty feet, and as much space between courts as can possibly be allowed. . Eliminate Glare Pains have been taken by President Fisher ' to eliminate the "glare" of concrete courts. The new courts will be of concrete with a mixture of "carbon black" added. This will give the courts a dark tint and make for better visibility, eliminating the "glare" and increasing the ease in following the tennis ball in its flight. The lines of the courts will be of white cement and will be inlaid in-, to the caronized concrete. Between the courts and at the back of them ordinary concrete will be used. Drainage of the courts will be taken care of by the use of gravel and tile, on which the cement will be poured.. This feature combined with a complete slope of three inches will give the courts a desirable drainage and dp away with "puddle formations" after rain storms. •• ••" ;._ - Fence to be Built The fence required for these} tennis courts will be built by the .school after construction has been completed. They will be of considerable .rheighk to allow for '-'smashes", and "kills" without the usual "chase"'-after such strokes. * The bids call for twenty days to complete the construction work and a possible ten days to be allowed for the hardening of the cement. In all probability, Normal-ites will be playing on new courts of the finest construction in about the" second week of May and too much credit cannot be given President Fisher for his interest and great pains taken in investigating and acquiring the information needed in making the plans. A fellow remarked the other day, "Do you ever have summer here?" The answer came hack rather cryptically, "Yeah! We play ball that day" » • * . * * . It seems that the Vikings don't wait for summer to put in an appearance before starting the national pastime. Last Friday afternoon, in a real cold wind and threat of rain, a winter exhibition of the game was staged on Waldo Field. * . * * * Of course the locals were victorious, but the game was so slow that Old Methuselah could have caught up with it and passed it before the first inning was over. With one homer and a flock of other hits, Teddy Clarke was easily the bitting star of the game. Nor was Zeke McClurken so far behind Teddy, for he came to ..the front with four hits out of five trips to the platter. Keeney's youngsters were trying to keep pace with the hard-hitting Vikings, but it was out of the question. His moundmen could not stem the tide of the Normal's offense. * * S ! gt; It Was a rare sight to see the baseball coach tossing the balls to Viking batters during their pre-game batting practice, while Old Man Winter was deluging the field in a shower of snow. FOUR GIRL ATHLETES GET HIGHEST AWARD Stickney Presents W.A.A. Awards In Friday's Assembly. Many Girls Rewarded for Work in Athletics. ...The writer received a snowdrop behind the ear and thought that a young avalanche was descending upon the field. With the snow still falling, the game started, but it was not like a .ball game. The wind was too cold, and,the snow too wet. However, it soon stopped snowing and the wind blew colder. So cold in fact that Teddy's arm froze up and he could not throw the ball, even into second base. We see that the Women are starting to use the athletic field, and bid fair to drive the men off the diamond. Nice Teamwork Is Displayed and Hopes for a Successful Season ' Are 'High at End of First Game. One down, a cigar; two down, a box of candy; three down, and the side is retired. Twenty-seven down,; and the game is over. And so runs the story of the first Viking baseball game of the/1929 season. But not, however, until the Norsemen had piled up eleven runs while Harold Keeney's Anacortes High School pastimers garnered a lone tally, was the word "finis" written to the game. The lone Anacortes marker came in the first inning when Stiger lost control of one of his pitches and a runner dashed madly from third base to home for the first score of the game, the only one for the visitors. Vikings Score Often. The Vikings scored so often in the early part of the game, that it began to take on the proportions of a one-sided track meet. Then the Anacortes chucker tightened up and hits were few and far between for a few short innings. However in the seventh, Clarke walked up to the plate and smacked the first ball pitched into the middle of next week for the first four base clout of the season, scoring two runners ahead of him. In the,eighth the Vikings added their last run of the game. Stiger, Williams, and Thorlakson performed on the mound for the Viking nine, doing credit to their profession as twirlers. o-^ Some Wandering Rays From The Sport Limelight A team of young giants from Texas, averaging six feet two inches in height, won the most cherished prize of high school basketball, the national inter-scholastic championship. Coaches and critics were interested in its spectacular style of play, which they termed "futuristic in pattern." Their height enabled them to smother all offence and recover a large percentage of the rebound off the backboard. In offence they played a distinctively high passing, leaping game which was actually "over the heads" of their opponents. INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET IS SCHEDULED Coach Wants New Men to Show igible for Tri-Normal Competition igible for Tri-Nomral Competition HUSKIES LOOK GOOD Al Ulbrickson, head coach of rowing at the University of Washington, declares in a statement made prior to the entry of the Huskies in California dual regatta held at the Oakland Estuary, that they were lengths stronger than they were last year. Although making no predictions as to the outcome of the race he said that the Washington crew Was a real "threat". The greatest award that can be attained by a W. A. A. member is the white "W" sweater. A strenuous sports program must be carried by any girl who desires one of these sweaters, making seven first teams and in addition earning 1800 points. Four girls had the pleasure of receiving theirs: Virginia Bever, Elina Keltanen, Genevieve Evatt, and Freida Massey. Other awards for class teams were given out.

But these were the exceptions that proved the rule; so much good talent was available that both were able to enrapture the audience. The men's quartet, comprised of Edwin Beach, Thomas McNeill, Harold Fleharty, and Leslie Armstrong, appeared first, presenting "Invictus", by Bruno Hunh. This number was enthusiastically applauded. Next the ladies' group, made up of Mary Breck, Sarah Somerville, Dorothy Knight and Martha Schafer sang a delightfully appropriate piece for this time of the year entitled "Springtime", and arrangement of the Sextette from Lucia, by Donizetti* The men next gave the novel selection called the "Bill of Fare", by Zollner. The combined group of songsters closed the evening's entertainment with the "Carmena Waltz Song", by Wilson, accompanied by the seven-piece orchestra. The entire program had something to appeal to everyone and the audience had the pleasure of an evening well spent in profitable enjoyment and good fun. Faculty Hear Tagore at Canadian Meeting Several faculty members have been attending meetings of the National Council of Education now being held in Vancouver, B. C. This is the fourth triennial meeting of the organization and is unique in that delegates from many European and Asiatic countries are appearing on the program. The meetings opened in Victoria, B. C. on April 5. They were transferred to Vancouver on April 8, and will conclude there on April 15. Speakers from Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India, France, Italy, Checho-Slavokia, Germany, and Japan are included on the program. Of unusual interest was a lecture on "The Teaching of Religion", by Sir Rabirdra Nath Togore, the famous Indian poet and philosopher, last Saturday evening. o ENGER HALL Elsie Olander and Grace Sargent, of Mount Vernon spent the weekend with Kathryn Olander. . Miss Mildred Cavalera, of Everett was the guest of her sister, Irene Cavalera last week. Josephine Lynch and Doris Ross-bach of Seattle were the guests of Elizabeth Church on Thursday. The following girls spent Easter at their homes: Elizabeth Church and Mildred Petersen, Seattle; Mildred Anderson, Lynden. Svea Zingmark of Preston spent the week-end at the Hall. ' o •— EL NIDO Last Wednesday evening a house meeting was held daring which Esther Dow was unanimously elected president, Evelyn Kirkman and Irene Sargent, v, proctors, and Blanche Gordon, house reporter. After election, Mrs. Dows, housemother, extended a few words of greeting to the new girls. A number of social activities are planned for the quarter. If any of the other organized houses are planning to have a. baseball team and need some keen competition, please see Esther Dow. gt; Pictures of France • Seen at Club Meeting Miss Anna Ullin gave the French club a group of extremely interesting and illuminating glimpses of her travels in France at a meeting held in Miss Crawford's room on Tuesday. Miss Ullin had brought back with her quite a collection of postcards and snapshots of the most famous places in France and some scenes not famous but typical. Kenneth Owen borrowed the projecting lantern from the training school to throw the pictures on a screen. Scenes of All Types The show included scenes of all types, from views of the Tuileries, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower to pictures of shell holes in the devastated country or snaps of French washerwomen washing clothes at the bank of a creek. One particularly quaint photo was of an elderly couple of the working class who had gone down to the edge of the Siene, taking along a picnic dinner, not neglecting a tall bottle of wine "Gette photographie vous montre que tout le monde a Paris n'est pas vetu a la mode," said Miss Ullin. Some of the pictures shown were taken from the collection of a couple of hundred sent to Ethel Hendricks by her correspondent in Valenciennes, Lise Auguier by name. During the pauses of the presentation of the slides the club transacted its business. Guy Spring-steel presented his plan for a Viking Vodvil stunt and the club decided to meet at four o'clock oh Monday to consider the matter further. In view of the fact that none of the members of the name committee was present, it was decided to let that matter rest until a later date, t h e club is now running under the title of ''French Club" or "Cercle Francais". - ' ' o—— YOES HALL Augusta Renfro president of Yoes Hall, called a house meeting to elect officers for this quarter. Those elected were: Kristine Thordarson, president; Dorothy Stevenson, su-cial secretary; and Roberta Waples, house reporter. ' Elizabeth Merrill, Margaret Thordarson, Phyllis Irons, Georgia Weingartner, and Iola Davidson of Blaine were the guests of Yoes Hall last week. Gertrude Larson and Leona Irons spent last week-end at their homes in Blaine.

The copy of one of the numbers makes the cover for this an interesting book. Saturday httes and other outings have been planned by Mark Jatret for his group of Boy 'Scouts from the seventh and eighth grades. They are fifteen in number and rapidly making strides toward making the first rank in the order known as tenderfoot.

VIKINGS FAVORED Cinderpath and Net Artists Doped to Capture Honors Again; Diamond Aggregation is Uncertain When the three State Normals swing into action on May 18 and 19 at. Ellensburg, the championships • for two major sports will be decided and the determining factor of the i;hird will be the feature of the two-day athletic melee. A Track and tennis will be the two major sports in which the Tri-Nor-mal championship will be decided upon, on said date, with a three-game baseball series between Bellingham and Cheney which will be a determining factor in the Tri-Nornial baseball title. The final series will ~be played off in Bellingham the following week-end. The Vikings are favored to take the track and tennis titles and stand a good chance of repeating their last year's performance of taking a clean sweep of the baseball series. The Vikings have never in history lost a tennis title to either of the two normal schools and have always made a creditable showing in track and baseball. In track the Vikings should garner six first places, Cheney and Ellens- "burg each four. Five, seconds figure in Bellingham's favor, while three go to Cheney and six to Ellensburg. The third places figure three to Bellingham, six to Cheney, and five to Ellensburg. This would make the final results of the meet read something like this: Bellingham 48; Ellensburg 43: and Cheney 35. These figures are far too close to allow anyone to sit back and think the meet is a Viking cinch—it is not. Figuring by events, the 100-yard dash rests between Hemmi of B. S. N. S. and Seigert of Cheney. Hemmi nosed out Seigert last year and is doped to cop the century event and possibly the 220. The 440-yard dash finds an Ellensburg man in for first place with Jewell a close second. Jewell is favored to crash the tape first in the half mile while Norman Bright is a decided favorite in the mile, after his sensational 4:31 performance at the Relay Carnival last week. The low and high hurdles arc more or less of a toss-up among the three schools. Reeves and Korsboen should be able to give a good account of themselves in the events however. Jewell and Arnett have the best heaves on record in the shot-put but will be hard pressed by the Ellensburg entry, advance dope says. The javelin will be a walk-away for Erickson, who broke the Normal field record with- a beautiful throw of 185 feet against C. P. S. on April 26. The pole-vault goes to Cheney with Ellensburg taking second. The high-jump is also between the Savages and Wildcats with either one liable to win first place. Bellingham is rated third in this event. The broad-jump goes to Cheney, with Ellensburg and Bellingham battling for second place. Each school will be represented by a 12-man team. The men from the Viking team to compete May 19, will be picked from Hemmi, Jewell, Axelson, Gallanger, Norman Bright, Brinkman, Reeves, Korsborn, Arnett, Thorsen, Erickson, Mi 11 e i*,, Cox, Thompson and Marsden. Prices Fixed By Publishers Are Charged for Textbooks at G)-op Therefore Students, Not Knowing Facts, Protest Against High Cost of Texts, When Prices Charged Are Those Specified by Others Than Book Stpre. "Forsooth, Hepzibonius, I must now desist from the use of milkshakes, motion pictures and other sundry necessities, for verily, the time for ransoming textbooks from the greedy clutches of the Co-op has now, arrived." - ' S ' "Yea, verily, Avaracientious, thous speakest wisdom, though you know it not. The dog robhlers in the Co-op now hold the books we wish at prices far above those of pearls and rubies—scoundrels that they are!" And then, in a calm voice, the Sage said: "You're all wet!" Among the woes of the world has been for interminable years that of the high cost of textbooks. The men who sell them have been blamed, the educational system which requires them has been denounced in all the tongues known to man, and the writers thereof have been consigned to all the conceivable tortures man can in his mind perpetrate. jfc. ,„ . . _ . u _ „ . _ - i , , , _ l i . — VI • g t a — u » — . gt; • — u — « » — « « — » » — — — — * j " T H E NORTHWEST j I VIKING" ON JUNE 6l I .

' i •£•• ns—li*-—;««—mi«—HIJ«^MH—HI»^—irn—u«—•an—•!!•}• "Craig's Wife' Comes Next Friday, May 18 Noted Novelist Gives Data About His Life A happy inspiration was carried out recently by Olive Hardan when, after a vain search for data concerning the life of Floyd Dell, a novel-, ist who recently lectured at the Normal, she decided to write to him for the information. (Miss Hardan has •chosen Floyd Dell as the subject of an oral talk in American Literature.) In his prompt reply to the letter, Mr. Dell answered this question among others: "How have you been able to so realistically portray the characters in some of your novels ?" •M said that he had tried both marriage ;and "free love," and used his Jtiwn^ experiences, as their basis.- : ''•-. "Craig's Wife," Pulitzer prize play, for 1926, will be presented one week from tonight, May IS, in the auditorium by the members of the Normal Drama club. It was written by George Kelly, a playwright who is interested in character rather than plot. Mr. Kelly is a student of Ibsen and has been referred to as "The American Ibsen.'' "Craig's Wife" might easily be compared with Ibsen's '•Doll's House." Every incident in the play is merely used as a device to bring out Mrs. Craig's character and personality. Experienced People Play Leads The people who are playing the leads in the play have had a great deal of dramatic work. Glen Gibbs, playing Walter Craig, had his experience at W. S. C: Margaret Green who plays Mrs. Craig, belongs to the ''Red Domino," an honorary dramatic society at the University of Washington, and to the "All University Players," a national organization. The tickets for the play will go on sale Tuesday, May ,]o, on the main landing. The price for students will be: General Admission— Student Activities tickets; reserved seats, 25c plus Student ticket. For the general public tickets will be 35c and 50c respectively. To no avail, however. For years and many more years, long after the class* of '28 has passed out of the picture, Freshmen (gullible creatures that they are!) will be laying down hard earned dollars in large number's to receive back dog eared thin volumes of things no one wants to know about. I However now protests come from the wrong end of the line. "You are jumping on the wrong man" says the seller. "Look at the facts and decide for yourself." "The average novel will have a sale well above 10,000 copies. The average text book will have a sale in all likelihood, far below that figure. In both cases tlie original cost will be the same, granted they are of the same size and therefore demand the same amount of printing costs. Btu most textbooks are usually larger than average novels and are printed on papers of higher quality for long wear. '"The more copies printed of a book, the less is the unit cost, allowing a lower price. Therefore, it is poiiited out," the novel ^ can be sold for $2.50 but the text book for not less than $5. "Not only that, but the publisher names the prices for which the book are sold by the retailer, who pays his own freight. Therefore, the book sold in Bellingham for $5 may be purchased in New York City, where it is published, for $5. Thus the discount that may be offered by the Co-op as a student-operated shop is therefore necessarily less than that at a store which is oloser to the shipping point." So the chronic knockers, Hepzibonius, Averacicntious and their pals, arc advised by the Co-op, in an advertisement piibished elsewhere in this issue, to look at the invoice to find out why textbooks are high. 237 GRADUATES TO EDII E Number Includes One Four-year and Five Three-year Certificates.

Normal Tulip Float Is Exact Replica of Old Viking Ship Found Near Oslo An old Viking ship was dug out of the sand near Oslo, Norway, put into the museum at Oslo, copied by expert mechanical drawing artists and reproduced by the Normal for its float in the Tulip parade. It will ride down the street, an exact copy, precise in every measurement, and detail of that old Norse sailer. The color scheme designed by Miss Fillette Many, is strikingly vivid, a flash of vermillion, cerise, azure and amber. The sail is made of scale units, working out a vermilion design on 'an amber background. The brightest colors will be in'the; center of the ship on the alternated •• azure and cerise shields, one of which will cover each oar-lock. Complete with its oars, the ship is floated on a sea of several shades of blue crepe. There will be fourteen -marchers, all boys from the training school, who will wear tunics, capes, helmets, and will carry shields. The domestic science classes under Miss Long-ley and Miss Countryman, are making the costumes, and Mi\ Rvickmick's Industrial Arts classes ;are making the shields and the float.

We of the student body know that its value could never be measured in dollars and cents. It could never be paid that way. It is much too big. He will have to find his reward in the growing esteem of the students-of this school and the people of . this state. And it is a growing esteem—has been for some three years. At last it has grown so large that there is tangible evidence of it. Tuesday the members of the Board of Trustees broke their policy of reelecting members of the faculty for one year-only, and gave President Fisher a three-year contract. It was the best way that they could find to express their appreciation for the never-ending effort which has made possible the new library, the new science laboratory at Friday Harbor, the higher scholastic standards, and the many lesser improvements for which he has worked. It was the best way that they could find to tell him that they believed in him and his work—the best way that they could take to tell him that they appreciated the untiring, unflinching spirit that makes him a true Viking. Congratulations, President Fisher. We also believe in you, and we think that one of the best and most pleasant things which has happened to the Normal for some time is the assurance that it will have you for at least three more years. —M. E. H. WAS CAMPUS D A Y A SUCCESS? Campus Day has come and gone, leaving more or less pleasant memories with most of us. We worked, played, and enjoyed ourselves. We even showed some school spirit. It was undoubtedly an outstanding day of this school year. All of which calls to mind the original purpose of Campus Day at Bellingham Normal. The idea at first was to make Campus Day a day for cleaning up the surrounding territory—a day to make it look as it did on no other day of the year. As generally happens, our grounds were beautiful for a short time—until students had forgotten about Campus Day; then they became as usual. But we have outgrown those days of old, and thanks to an efficient gardener, always have a campus in excellent condition. But have we yet learned that a Campus Day is never a success unless its results are permanent ? . The whole morning of May 1 was spent in beautifying our property and the adjacent territory. But will they look as well a month from now, or even in several months? Only then will we know whether one feature of Campus Day has "taken." It is up to us to keep our surroundings always as they were. Will we succeed? .Perhaps. According to your will. JUNE GRADUATES (Continued from Page One) East Stamvood; Lois G.

FIELDING RAGGED Poor Support arid Ineffective Pitching Largey Responsible for Viking Defeat. McClurken Pitches In a slngfest on Waldo field Sut-iirday afternoon, the St. Martin's Rangers pounded the offerings of two Viking hurlers for fourteen hits and eleven runs, to take the match by the score of 11 to 5, scoring an easy victory* in a loosely played game. - Both teams registered heavily with the stick, solving the offerings of -the opposing pitched with little difficulty. Thorlakson was. punished on the mound by the visitors for seven innings until. he was relieved by McClurken, who left his infield post to take up the mound work for the hill toppers. The winners landed on McClurken for two more runs before the game ended, boosting their score from nine to eleven runs. Vikings Hit The. hill toppers got to Lorang, touted' St. Martin's hurler, in the first inning, tallying two runs and scoring another in the second Lorang was knocked from the box in ' the. seventh when the locals shoved across two runs and was relieved by Reese, who held the Normalites scoreless and let them down with only one hit the rest of the game. Errors on the part of both infields "were quite costly and caused the pitchers much trouble. Several of the visitors' I'uns were the result of poor fielding on the part of the hill toppers. Hitting honors went to Lorang and O'Connor, who gained three hits apiece out of five chances. Johnson led the Normal hitters with two bingles to his credit, while Ivnchen, St. Martin's catcher, drove out a three-bagger, the longest hit of the game. As a result of Saturday's victory, the Laceyites have two wins over the Nbrmalites this season,'the former mix having resulted in a 3 to 0 win for St. Martin's.

Send Mother Today A Framed Motto Stationery Box of Candy or a Greeting Card Sunday is Mother's Day osite New Liibrqry "In the game of tennis, when one's opponent is playing well, one must win points by placing the ball where one's opponent is not. And one must not make many errors."—Thus runs the rule. And because the Viking-varsity net squad, composed of Myer Thai, Bob Fisher, and Nick Bond, failed to observe this fundamental of tennis etiquette when the University of Washington Frosh were encountered last Saturday in Seattle, it suffered one of the worst defeats a Bellingham court representative has met in many a moon. Therein lies the story: Thai, Fisher and Bond traveled to Seattle Friday in high hopes of taking their opening match of the year from the Husky Yearlings. They came back Saturday evening, having played and lost four matches, with nary a set in their favor,—all be: cause they ''"'didn't hit 'em where they ain't." The three Viking southpaws were troubled some by the strange courts and new balls, but they lost to a better team, chiefly on account of their inability to control their shots. Scores are Decisive » Thai, Viking first man, was downed by * Sverre Bostegaard, Tacoma flash, to the tune of 6-1, G-3; Fisher in the second position, dropped his match to Bill Hurrell 6-4, G-3; Bond was defeated G-3, 6-1, by Dave Gil-man. Then Thai and Fisher came out on the short end of a 6.-3, 6-3, score in the doubles, losing to Bostegaard and Hurrell. All in all it was a pretty dark day for the Viking hopes. In spite of the fact that they failed to capture even one set, all three of the Viking port-siders put up a pretty fair brand of tennis. All-threatened seriously at times to take their matches, but failed to play consistently and allowed their opponents too many easy shots. Therefore, the result was inevitable. Doubles Play Flashy Bostegaard, -Frosh first man, proved too consistent a driver and too strong a defensive player for "Mike" Thai to down. Although the Vi.- king flash played a fair game, he was clearly, outplayed by his opponent. Erratic playing and failure to take crucial points cost Bob Fisher his match with Hun-ell, although he. showed flashes of remarkable playing. Oilman's chop-chop-chop game was too steady for Nick Bond, and the local third man consequently went doAvn to defeat. It was in the doubles that the Viking representatives showed their best form. Tn both sets, after spotr ting their opponents a good sized lead, Thai and Fisher temporarily pulled out of the hole and won several consecutive games, but could not keep up the pace and lost in straight sets. :0 Aliss Billie Howe spent the weekend at her home in Tenino.

His first group of selections included a negro spiritual, a Swedish folk song, a French folk song, and a Scotch minstrel song, all of which were merry and typical.- Scandinavia! songs constituted his next series. "Tak for dit Had," (Thanks For Your Counsel) by Ed-vard Grieg, was, he said, symbolical of the old Viking spirit. It proved to be a venturesome, devil-may-care, fearless one. * Of the remaining selections. "The Sleigh," by ICountz, which was a requested number, was most enjoyed •by the audience.

Students who plan to do their student teaching next quarter and have had appointments, are being registered at the present time. All other students will go to the -Registrar's office next week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 26, 27, and 28 and make appointments to see their advisors concerning their programs. If students wish to register before next quarter they must get appointments on those three days. Registration in December Those who graduate next quarter will be registered on December 3 and 4. Upper division students, the special students, and those who will be in the third, fourth, or fifth quarters in attendance, with the exception of those who expect to do their student teaching, will register, December 5, 6 , 7. Students who graduate next quarter will have their programs checked and should pay their fees in the afternoons of December 3 and 4. The others should pay their fees in the afternoons from the fifth to the tenth of December, inclusive. Those who are now teaching in rural schools will register Saturday, December 8. Students not ready to pay fees when programmed will not have their programs checked, into classes. That is, if the classes are closed, they will have to see their advisors to change their programs. If fees are not paid by December 10, they will be forced to wait until January 2, 1929, when the first quarter and incoming freshmen will be registered. That a questionnaire be circulated among the student body for the purpose of finding out whether or not students are satisfied with the present handling of funds, is a possible matter which may be brought before the Board of Control's next meeting, Monday, November 26, according to Don tSickney, president of the Students' Association. Other probable business will include a decision of the type of a sweater to be awarded to the first year letter men; slip-over, or sweater coat. If time warrants, Stickney said he would suggest that a* cash prize be offered for a school song, submitted from a school-wide contest which has been 'talked up' by interested students lately. Drama Club Presents Character Study of Carolina Mountain Folk Portrayal of Characters Human in Their Motives and Sentiments is Lulu Vallmer's "Sun-Up" That Plays in the Normal Auditorium Tuesday, December 6th. iOARD OF CONTROL Commission Representing Debaters Instructed to Draw Up Schedule and Proposed Winter Budget. ' RED CROSS OVER Reports made to the Red Cross headquarters today show that good progress has been made in the county by the solicitors, under the direction of Mr. Pelagius Williams. Twenty- five normal students have been canvassing the smaller communities in the county. One thousand dollars is to be raised and according to Mr. Williams the outlook for raising it is favorable. President C. H. Fisher gave a talk in behalf of the Red Cross roll call. over radio station KVOS on Wednesday evening of last week. He told of the good work of the Red Cross and asked for help in raising the quota. Kathleen Norris celebrated American novelist, also talked over the radio last week for the organization. o A debate commission composed of four students representing Debate interests of the school, presented facts and suggestions regarding past and future situations at the regular meeting of the Board of Control in the Students' Association office last Monday, November 19. The institutional value of debate, its consequence when supported morally and financially by Board, and the .clearing up of past misunderstandings due to a recent unauthorized letter received by the Board, were the main issue in the discussion. As a result, a clear understanding was reached by all the members on each side. Debate Budget. A motion carried to the effect that the debate commission should present at a near future time the tentative debate schedule for 1929, prospective team material, and an estimated budget for the Winter quarter. A motion was passed at a former meeting of the Board was corrected to read as the following: "Matters of official information are to be given the Viking and to the public by the secrteary of the Board only."' During business proceedure a motion was carried instructing Sam Ford, Co-op manager, to have 4,000 "Bellingham" stickers printed and sold at cost in the Students' Co-op. Thursday evening, December 6, at 8:15, the Normal Drama Club will present its quarterly play, "Sun-Up" by Lulu Vollmer. This play of North Carolina mountain folk though interestingly local in its setting, dialect and incidents, is universal in the best sense. Its characters are so human in their motives and sentiments that they will appeal to all audiences. The flavor and color that they derive from the provincial setting merely serve to enrich this universal quality. It is a character play preeminently, yet full of stirring incidents; it is a serious play, as ajwhole, yet full of a most spontaneous and genuine humor. Widow Cagle, whose own character makes the play, is the personification of humor, but the humor, the shrewdness, and the innate knowledge of human nature are not Widow Cagle's only traits. Beneath her inexpressive exterior and apparent' hardness, lies fine deep sentiment. At the close of the play, with Rufe dead in France, and as the sun rises, she converses with the dead boy and tells him that love of her own son has widened into love for all women's sons: "Hit wuz sundown when ye left me, son,—but hit's sun-up now." are the closing words of the dramatic play. Widow Cagle, played by Claire Wilson, is the dominating personality of the play. Upon the character portrayal of this part the play either stands or falls. "The play is presented," states Victor H. Hoppe, director, "not to so much to develop one individual as to give a psychology of the life of a backwoods community." Everyone contributes in adding color to the drama. hTe leading parts o fEmmy Todd and Rufe Cagle portrayed by Margaret Sheppard and Norman Bur-chette are well dramatized.

Mrs. Axtell, in her discussion of this book, brought out the author's belief that to do away with war we would have to completely revolutionize our thinking, and think, not in terms of war, but in terms of peace.

Dorothy Sasse Paul Howell Dolly Anderson ^ AMORAL Once upon a time a king reigned over his subjects very wisely. After many years his kingdom grew so large that he could no longer attend to the complaints of each subject and they began to be discontented. " I ' d o not like the kind of stories the masters give me to read." " W e need a holiday for a picnic." " I never have time to read the Saturday Evening Post since I must be asleep at 10:00 o'clock." These were some of the complaints that came from his beloved and loyal subjects. This troubled the king greatly. He walked to and fro in. front of his office desk and went to a movie to try to think the mo- Vmentous problem through to solution. But he could not invent a plan whereby he could restore peace and harmony once more. ,. After he had grown thin and wan, one of his counsellors, a very wise and good man, said: * ''Your Majesty, we must have a newspaper for our people to write their opinions and thoughts in." To this the king answered: "Good and noble sir, we will have a newspaper? Thy thoughts are intelligent thoughts and serve well thy king!" From that day to this the King has lived happily with his many sub jects. „, MORAL: W R I T E Y O U R O P I N I O N S F O R T H E NORTHW E S T VIKING. —M. B. To the Northwest Viking:- r During the last week or two there has been a rather unfortunate situation brought about by the fact that due to some misunderstandings, the policy and action of the Board of Control have been misinterpreted. It is to remedy some of these misunderstandings that this is being written. It would be highly desirable to bring up all these things in a student forum. Regarding the policy of secrecy of the Board of Control, I have been unable to find anything so far that would warrant a statement like that given in a contribution to the Viking to the effect that the Board is making an effort to exclude students from a knowledge of their own affairs. "It is a somewhat accepted principle in governmental circles that public knowledge of all affairs is only detrimental to the well-being of the same public." This statement made in the Viking, is the opinion of the Board of Control in general, and when asked by a member of the staff, one of the Board members remarked that no doubt a reporter would not be allowed to report ALL affairs. But it is wise and desirable that students keep in touch with the actions of their representatives. In connection with this I wish to state that I have never heard or discovered any action of the Board of Control barring students or reporters from all the meetings although it is generally accepted, as stated above, that there are times when the meetings must necessarily be private. The policy of the present racts were no known. I snail try to •state the facts of the cas to correct this impression! Investigation Made A committee was appointed; to make, an investigation among the faculty and students "getting as fairly representative a group as "possible., The debate coach was included in this group. There were opinions for and against debate both among faculty and students. It would take too much space to say more, than that the general opinion seems to indicate that debate interest isn't what it should be outside of the debate club and classes. Howeye"r the investigation of the committee is not taken as final. The refusal of an appropriation is beside the point because the debate club did not ask for an appropriation and also because the funds had ^already been apportioned for the quarter before this question arose. Board Wishes Co-operation The Board distinctly voiced its co-operation with the debate club and debating when.the matter was first brought up and wrote a letter to the debate coach-toHhat effect misundersttandirig was caused. Tnis November 7, before much of this should clear the Board from many of those things not now under r stood. The history of debate in this school has been as follows: Debate was carried on her in the form of normal school competition as well as with other minor colleges up until about three years ago. At that BOOK REVIEW "The Old and the; New" by Lingi Pirandello; E. P: Button Co., N. Y., 1928 CO-OP CIRCULATING LIBRARY. * gt; With the romantic setting of Sicily in the nineteenth century, Lingi Pirandello, the author of "The Outcast" 7 and a rather startling play "Six Characters in Search of an Author" has evolved a novel worthy of a great deal of- praise. ;\ '' In Sicily, as in most every other country, there is friction between the new and the old. In "The New and the Old" we find patriots and business men, royalists and commoners, wrestling with the same age old problem. ." Pirandello is not only an author but also somewhat of a playwright to play up the dramatic monents in the novel. '•• gt;''.' He handles scores of Sicilian patriots, citizens and people with the ease of a proficient stage director. There is a certain amount of the love element just enough to hold a person who reads for that sort of thing. We see a woman's influence in the government of a country, indirectly perhaps but there nevertheless. The narrative would interest anyone who cares for novels with a political trend. However the thing which attracted me most was the exquisite description and the rich color in the* story. I noticed that like most writings of the Mediter-aneah it is startling and holds one's !'• gt; gt; JUKES^Inc.

"Meet General Grant"9 Board is no different from that of j time there was a cup in competition any of the former Boards in this j and that cup is now down in the The statement of the board of control in regard to lack of interest in debate seems to be quite vigorously challenged. Judging 'from the dozens of student opinions received in the Viking office interest in debate does not appear to be entirely lacking. ~~' ' i '• -- o G A T E CRASHERS Those professional gate-crashers who were present at the recent In-forinah are to be congratulated upon their astuteness in being able to get by. Perhaps it is really in a spirit of fun that it is done; perhaps they do not realized that they aren't making a'hit with those who attend by legitimate means. ^ At any rate, it is only fair that to enjoy a good time, all interested should not be above contributing their share of the expense. The gale-crashers aren't giving their more conscientious friends a square deal—in fact they are merely parasites, clinging vines. Speaking of parasites—one might paraphrase, "Once a parasite, al- .ways a parasite." We wonder if those who are crashers at social affairs, are the same ones who try to crash life? We wonder? —C. M. R E C I P R O C I TY Business houses of Bellingham spend both time and money in advertising in The Northwest Viking. The Viking contains the advertisements gt;of the leading shops and department stores of the city. Student specials, contest, sales, are all worked out with the motive of catching the eye of the student. Caterers go out of their way in service. As an example: firms have lent equipment, help, and window space for benefits of nearly every Normal class or organization. They serve us only for the asking. Now in turn;—turn about is fair play. Reciprocity in other words is all they ask. And hundreds of Bel- Jingham Normal people do spend thousands upon thousands of dollars J n down-town Bellingham. Does this money go into the right channels? Does it go to the friends of the Bellingham Normal? ''; Merchants tell us that many students let them know they are from the Normal. But scores do not! Next time when buying say " I 'm a Normal student." respect. Secretary to Give Out News Now the question arises as to who should give out the official information of the Board of Control and as to what is official information. Official information, I take, it, is information gotten from a board member and misconstrued in any way it cannot be regarded as official information. The only logical person to give out official information Is the secretary and' a motion was passed that, "hereafter all official information to be given to the Viking and the public, be given by the secretary only." The date of this motion is November fifth (5). Board Is Misunderstood There is another gross misunderstanding regarding the attitude of the Board of Control towards debate in this school. This has been the cause these: "To me ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 November 23 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON^ STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON :S. age = = = = = = = = - : v S FOOTBALL SEASON GOMES TO FINISH Final Game Completes One of the Hardest Schedules in Years. When the final whistle shrieked over the Normal-U. of W. frosh 'game on Waldo field last Saturday, it told not only of the close of- v t he game, but *also of the close of the Viking season of football. That final whistle brought to a finish one of the hardest and toughest schedules that any of the Viking teams have had to face for several years. VIKINGS TRAMPLED IN MUD BY FROSH U. of W. Frosh Smash Way Thru Viking Defense ot Score Early ....Vikings Determined, But in Vain. It all started when the West Seattle Athletic club invaded the Viking home and battered and bruised its way through the Viking squad for a thriteen to six;, victory over the Norsemen. That was a tough battle. The Normal gridders, beaten and crippled, traveled to Ellens-burg the following week, only to have the Wildcats trample on them to the tune of twelve to nothing, in one of the most fiercely contested battles of the season. The score of the game is no indication of how hard the game, really was. The battle with the Wildcats crippled the Vikings still more than the one with the W. S. A. C. the week before. Cheney Savages Following the Ellensburg battle the Vikings returned home to play the Cheney Savages in the second of the Tri-Normal series. This was also the home-coming game for the local team. The Norsemen entered the contest still suffering from injuries received in the Ellensburg tussle. When the smoke of battle had cleared from Waldo field on that home-coming day, it was, to see a defeated team of Vikings dejectedly straggling off the field. Cheney had won the game by a single touchdown. Bellingham had again failed to score, and another black mark was chalked up against the home boys. After suffering three defeats in a row things were beginning to look rather dark for the Normalites. The week following the Cheney battle, St. Martin's College was entertained by the Vikings. This time the outlook was somewhat brighter, and the locals beat their way through the Rangers' ranks to a seven to nothing victory. Super Varsity Still feling exultant over their first win of the season, the Vikings next journeyed to Seattle to mix with the powerful Super-Varsity eleven. The game was played on a sand covered field with a cold wind and driving rain blowing over them the while. Though inspired' by their win of a week before and working as they never worked before, the Vikings were doomed to defeat, and again, lost by a lone touchdown. The score was six to nothing. Frosh Game On their return home the Vikings made ready for the strong U. of W. Frosh eleven. By this time the Norsemen were pretty well , disheartened but still''/had a desire to win one more game. However at the close of the battle on Saturday, Nov. 17, it was" seen that the Vikings had suffered another defeat. This time it was the worst that they had been beaten during the entire season. The football season may riot have been a success, but we cannot say that the team was a failure. A team that gives as good an account of itself as did the Vikings during the season just*, finished, is far from being a failure. Much credit is* the team for the showing it made, even in defeat. The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash. "• WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS S.K.Scheldrup,Pk.C; 'i;..;. Palmer,Graduate ":.^.,, immm Fighting grimly, determinedly but vainly against a triumphant pack of Husky pups, the Bellingham Vikings went down to a muddy defeat on Waldo field Saturday, at the hands of the University of Washington Freshmen, 13-0. Lacking perhaps some of the brilliance, but displaying power and fight, the locals went down in their last game of the season before a superior team which combined two of the greatest assets of a successful football team: a heavy efficient line and a fast and brainy back-field. Frosh Good Good generalship characterized the winning Frosh team. In the first half use of the tantalizing delayed buck, with the heavy line opening wide holes in the opposition with seeming ease, the Pups were able to drive down the field with long gains of three to eight yards on each push. As the Vikings began to plug the line and get the ball carriers while they were starting, the Frosh took to the air, and for the remainder of the game, the ball was ,in the air almost as much as on the ground. The game saw some of the prettiest and most consistent punting which has = been displayed on the local field for some time. Erickson, kicking for the Normal, and Jenkins for the Frosh, both got off nice boots which added much to the conflict. Score in First Period The first score for the Frosh came in the first period, when after being held once a short distance from the goal, the Pups again drove down the field and put the ball over by means of a short pass, from Jenkins to Nelson. St. Luise kicked a perfect goal. After bringing the ball within scoring distance in the third quarter, the Frosh again switched from passing and put the ball over by a nine-yard run through line. This was a wonderful exhibition of twisting and shifting by Hufford, star Frosh back,, who was not expected to play. Erickson Stars Chuck Erickson was probably the outstanding back for Normal, his passing to Ray Odell, and his receiving of several of Odell's passes being a bright light in the performance of the squad. While Hufford was the stellar player for the Frosh during the second half, he shared his glory with Patrick, who in the second quarter intercepted a pass and got away for a seventy-yard run, and who later in the game was on the receiving end of many of Jenkins' nice passes.

The Frosh have undoubtedly disposed of the Viking bacon by this time. Perhaps they ' ate it for breakfast last Sunday morning. We hope it made them sick, though we do not wish anyone any ill luck. £ £ * •* / / seems that football for this season has been something of a failure in more ways than one. WE ARE WILLING TO ADMIT A FLOP. IN POINTS OF GAMES WON, BUT IT IS HARDER TO ADMIT A FLOP IN THE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT Gate receipts this year fell far below what was expected at the outset of the season. No matter, how poor was the football season the team itself was not a failure.. As proof, we invite you to glance over the record of our team this year. Games won, 1 ; lost, 5. That last looks terrible, but look at these figures; the Viking opponents scored only 50 points. The Vikings scored a total of 1 3 points. The above figures go to show that the games were, closely contested. Consequently the Vikings could not have been a complete failure. ," ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE ARE SOME GOOD PROSPECTS FOR NEXT SEASON. From now on until the end of March the fans may look forward to a siege of basketball. The J-V's have a good record to uphold this season, since the last year's team won the B league championship. All the Supers need is a little more 'super' if they intend to win a title. -s Here at Last! What Happens in the Dressing Room and Showers B E N HAMILTON Here they come! Tired and worn from the day's grid battle. Their cleated shoes rattle on the steps and floor. Subs congratulate. "Nice game kid." "Thanks." Neither means it. It just makes each feel better. "Boy, did you see that big guy hit that line? Boy! How he could hit! Hey, one of you guys, pull off my jersey. Be CAREFUL! Not so fast, my shoulder is sore. There, that's better. Thanks. "Say, did you see that referee call that guy for slugging? He was pretty careful after that." \ twisting. Someone turns on the hot water. Someone else gets burned. "Hey!" He makes a dash. Somebody leans against the hot water pipes. "Cut out the shovin'." A screech denotes someone taking a cold shower. Everybody moves to one side of the shower room. Make room for the cold water. Enter the Visitors The down-trodden Huskies, of the University of Washington ^stubbed their toe for the fourth successive time when they dropped a tough mix with Stanford, 12 to 0, at Palo Alto before President-elect Herbert Hoover. Washington greatly outplayed the highly touted Cardinals on the ground but the supremacy was decided by an effective passing attack which netted the two touchdowns. ., W. S. C. and U.-.S. C. The inevitable consequence of the meeting -of two unbeaten determined elevens, the Washington State Cougars and the Southern California Trojans, resulted in a 27 to 13 victory and the leadership of the Pacific Coast conference for the Southern aggregation. A crowd of 50,000 witnessed the 18-year old field general lead his team on to victory "in the heavy scoring melee. Rohwer, of Washington State raced 90 yards from kick off for a touchdown. Two former Bellingham students, Lloyd Hein, linesman, and Ernest "Bud" Hansen, fullback, are holding down regular berths on the Cougar squad. Princeton-Yale In a classic game, watched with intense-interest by 60,000 hoarse spectators, the Princeton Tiger enticed the Yale Bulldog into its lair and completely annihilated him. The result of this fifty-five-year-J old contest gave Princeton a 12 to2 victory. Notre Dame-Carnegie The unwritten law of Notre Johnny Beaton, Sedro-Woolley halfback, spelled another Whatcom 'defeat 12 to 6, Saturday, November 17. Ripping through the line, tearing- around end for long gains, and his high spirals keeping the ball out of the danger zone, he porved to be a constant worry to the Red^ men. «-• . - Clint McBeath was the Whatcom hero. Late in the third quarter the fleet halfback, playing his first game as a regular, intercepted a Sedro-Woolley pass and raced 70 yards down the sidelines for the Redskins' only touchdown. This was the most spectacular play seen on the local gridiron this season. 4 *' Pass Intercepted' ' An intercepted pass, a Whatcom penalty that put the ball on the 8-yard line, and eBaton, faking an end run, slid through a hole in the right side of the line for the first score of the game. Whatcom retaliated by tying the score in the third period by McBeath's long run. Then early in the fourth quarter, Whatcom fumbled and the ball was finally downed by a Cub player on the 10-yard line: A line buck failed and Whatcom's defense sucking in for another line smash, Johnson skirted around end unmolested. ( Barnhart Runs Wild. Barnhart,' who replaced Swanson with but two minutes to go, ran around the end gaining 20 yards on three plays.

This contradicts our ideas of 'C 'ease tnd comfort. Civilization is •ruining man!. Science Way Out :,••[•[ -Science is the way out, Wiggam , 'points. But—"Science never emancipated a man who did not get its Spirit." Hard work here. Without proper precaution he says, "prolet a r i a n labor or capital with almost equal lack of culture will gain control of this scientific world and •create a scientific barbarism." iY-;. The most important sciences are •the least appreciated—biology and psychology, and their discoveries are matters of comparative unimportance in the stimation of t he laity. In reality, the future of 'civilization rests upon these dist .coveries. I n vain attempts to run this .. world, men have taken science and attempted to destroy civilization, men have gone through long periods of social and political meddling with Hell just around the corner, but men "have never used human intelligence for human problems," the speaker said. Politics must be taken out of politics and placed in t he hands of science, jt was declared. Enemies of Progress ~ y ; And then there are the four great enemies of progress—the optimist, the pessimist, the conservative, and .the radical—and the savior is the scientific liberal. One draws the .conclusion that, modestly, Wiggam considers himself the latter. An enviable position, obtainable as yet, only to those who wish to make •the effort to gain the scientific a t titude. ; ' In connection with this matter -;of life in the future, is the question J—Heredity or Environment. "He- : : redity," says Mr. Wiggam. "En-jvironment," says Clarence Darrow. I "We'll tell the people just the •: truth," Mr. Wiggam says. "I'll j speak." Heredity is really the more ..important factor in determining 'Iwhy one man is different from : Other men, Wiggam contends. Ed- ' ucation will not improve inborn 'qualities. For this latter fact the .: speaker was thankful. ; As a sample of his cloud-creating ^ability, the following was offered: • f " In the midst of our luxury, degene r a t i v e diseases are increasing and ^skilled men are decreasing." But ..v—"Intelligent, people live longer i t h an other people. Geniuses are among the strongest individuals of i t he age. Brilliant people average .better morally than, others." . College Graduates • ; Still—"The American college graduates are a dying race." But— "Supremely successful people are .more than reproducing themselves." /Any hint here that American coll e g e graduates are not supremely Successful people? "If civilization can be, kept go- ; ing," said Wiggam, "supreme •groups may. furnish the leaders, • otherwise civilization may prove to : be a brief biological joyride with the jungle at the end." ;,, Men must apply scientific con- ' ceptions to the lives, it was stated. ; The laws of life cannot be neglect-zed. Eugenics plans to educate human judgment. The ideal of the ; ,present civilization i s , a better race :; t h a n ourselves. And, finally: ''"Lib- ' • erty, beauty.and God are given men ; by science." - "i Probably few speakers have ^caught the spirit of their subject / s o "aptly as Wiggam has achieved ; his,!

She also visited the Canadian Handicraft Guild, where craft work, applied design, metal work and hand loom weaving was exhibited. This week-end Miss Druse and Miss Hazel Breakey will go to Seattle to visit the Seattle Fine Arts exhibit with Mrs. Marguerite Lan-dis Stuart and Miss Marjorie Johnston, formerly of the Normal faculty where they taught in the Art Department for six years. o ' CONDOLENCE. Condolences are extended to our friend, Mr. Gwinn, over the recent death af his wife. We hope that in some measure, the friendly sympathy of the students may help to console him in this time of sorrow. o GEORGE ARLISS The performance of "The Merchant of Venice with George Arliss as Shylock was a fulfillment of the most extravagant hopes of those who attended. Shylock being in more voice expression and less in the bodily expression. The costumes were .unusually beautiful and very effective. Some of those who a t tended were Miss Osborn, Miss Erickson, Miss Treat, Miss Hopper and Mr. and Mrs. Philippi. o SOCIETY Mary Margaret Doyle, a former student of Bellingham Normal who is now attending the University of Washington, has been pledged to the Athena Debate Club. This is one of the two debating societies for women on t he campus. Eleanore Brown is visiting in Seatle this week-end and will attend the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity's fall informal Saturday evening, November 24. Glen Matheson will be a guest at the Theta Chi fraternity's informal during her visit in Seattle this week. Fourteen Normal students set out on a hike which began at t h e frosty hour of dawn on November 18, and ended at noon with the winter sun doing full duty above the unsurpassed combination of natural beauties which this section of the state affords. Led by Roy Arnett, the hikers tramped four miles singing, laughing, and studying the country through which they passed. A cliff was scaled from whose rocky prominence the hikers gazed enchanted upon Mt. Baker clear and white on the one hand, and the Canadian Selkirks which lay rumpled and snowy above the distant salt water on the other. Whatcom couny stretched out in a . gigantic checker-board for miles below, and through the trees Lake Whatcom and Toad Lake shimmered in the sun. Varied Excitement' Geological specimens caused deep study and solemn argument. A black bovine elicited many exclamations and much speculation. Some of the more daring of the party took trips across Toad Lake upon a craft whose seaworthiness was very much to be questioned. An apple orchard proved delightfully fruitful an hour before breakfast was served in a natural shelter carved in a mammoth boulder on the shores of Toad Lake. ' Harold Rich and Roy Arnett proved indefatigable in preparing a delicious back-to-nature breakfast. The Derby . Hikers and their guests included: Harold Rich, Roy Arnett, Thad Ellis, Ed Command, Ernest Hilsenberg, Leslie Sanford, Marion Richardson, Velma Hilsenberg, Margaret Barnett, Louise Sommer, Edna Goulter, Lovenia Alexander, Florence Horsewell, Alice Sundquist. -—o Two Bowling Teams Start Tournament Homesick Students Soothed by Library There has been almost enough written about the new library to fill a book, what with iengthy dissertations on the beauty of its architecture, the grandeur of its spacious halls and the artistic beauty which prevails throughout the building. How many people can realize what such a building would mean to a new student away from home for perhaps the first time, homesick for the pleasures and comforts of home? The atmosphere of the. library i t self is rather a balm to such a tried spirit, with its air of comradship. of hospitality and the countless blessings that only books can yield to those who know the joy of searching for them. I n the reading room it seems that any shadows of trouble or shyness would be slowly diffused by the peaceful, quiet dignity and friendliness of the surroundings; or if one cannot yield to these influences, who could resist the appeal of the rare sunshine which sometimes floods the room with glory through the tall windows? BARTON HOME BITS Friday night the girls of Barton Home gave a surprise party in honor of the birthday of Jeanetfce Cullis. After an evening of music a delightful luncheon was served. The table decorations were in red and white. • Mrs. Abrams of Aberdeen spent Sunday and Monday visiting her daughter, Mildred. Mrs. Evans and Mr. and Mrs. Ronalds of Seattle spent Sunday with Ruth Evans. Miss Alice Langley spent Monday, November 12, t he Canadian Thanksgiving day with cousins in Vancouver, B. C. Thanksgiving day in Canada is celebrated the nearest Monday to Armistice instead of the last Thursday in November as i t is in United States.

Miss Cummins especially mentions the book "America Comes of Age" by Andre Seigfried and commends that "the book reviews call this the greatest book in the United States since t h a t of Bryce—"The American Commonwealth", which is also listed. This choice of Miss Cummins' represents the second of a series of interviews that are designed to acquaint students to unusually worthwhile books which are available on the reserved and general /reading .shelves.

Under the leadership of Generalissimo Arthur Kolstad and General Barney Chichester the Bellingham State Normal school's fourth annual Campus, day was held Tuesday, May 7. Crews to perform the various tasks of the day were picked at an assembly at 8:00 a. m., and about an hour later, the work started. . The Generalissimo arrived, on Waldo Field to the accompaniment of the sirens of a motorcycle patrol escort. He personally conducted the campaign. A paddle squad led by Johnny Dixon kept the boys at work while two" squads under Helen Stine and Mary Mc- Cush remedied any cases of indolence among the girls. A very efficient group of white-clad nurses headed by Elizabeth Brodt, administered first aid to the injured and "over-worked", and another group of girls carried drinking water to the laborers. The W. A. A. girls who sold refreshments during the morning did a rushing business. At noon dinner was served to those whose tickets showed, by two punches, that they deserved it, and during the noon and afternoon entertainment was furnished. In the evening an all school dance at the armory completed the day's program. Mr. George Dack, the head gardener, said, when interviewed Wednesday. "The students .are to be commended on the work done on Campus day. All the crews did their work well- and left Jhe campus in much better condition than last year when it took us three days to clean up around the grandstand after Campus day. This year they did fine." Vera Ginnette Will Give Piano Recital in Friday Assembly Positions Filled by Appointment Bureau The following people have reported teaching positions to the Appointment bureau: Harry Apple-ton, principal Roeder, Whatcom county; Gladys S. Brown, Bothel; Gladys Dranga, intermediate, Seattle; Irene Schagel, primaiy, Kingston; Mildred •• Denney, grammar, Acme; Lucile Austin, primary, Rex-ville; Guinevere Stanton, primary, Van Zandt. G. C. Joy, State Supervisor of Forestry, will give the last of the series of four lectures on forestry in Tuesday's assembly. Vera Ginnette, pianiste and Normal school student, under the direction of Miss Edith Strange of the Music Department, will present a varied program of music in Friday's assembly. The first part of the program will feature Beethoven's masterpiece, Sonata Op. 27, No. 1. This selection is profound and deep and is full of the dramatic element. Nocturne by 'Chopin and Perpetual Motion by Weber will be in the second group which is of the lighter lyric type. The outstanding selection of the group, which will be wholly mod ern, is "Gallywag's Cakewalk" a comical composition by De Bussy. _ o BANQUET PLANNED BY ALUMNI. JUNE 1 jroni Olsen as John Shand "What Every Woman Knows,' by J. M. Barrie—Moroni OlsenJ Repertory Company. Former Students Discuss Banquet Plans with Faculty-Group. Play Day Is Scheduled for Same Date. Officers of the Alumni Association met with members of the Faculty Alumni committee last Wednesday afternoon. Plans were discussed for the annual banquet to be held at Edens hall, Saturday evening, June 1. At that time, life diplomas will be presented to those whose applications have been accepted. The annual business meeting and election of officers are other items on the program. The remainder of the evening will be spent in dancing. Letters are now being sent to members of the association. Members of the classes of 1904, 1909, 1914, 1919, and 1924 are especially invited, this being the twenty-fifth, twentieth, fifteenth, tenth and fifth anniversaries, respectively, since graduation. A special luncheon at Edens Hall will be. held for those who are interested in Play Day to be held June 1. Officers of the Alumni Association are: Mr. Albert Booman, '18 president; Miss Hilda Rosene, '17, vice president; and Miss Kathleen Skalley, '16, secretary. Members of the Faculty Alumni Committee are the Misses Georgia Gragg, Bertha Crawford, Hilda Rosene, M. Belle Sperry, and Mr. E. A. Bond, and Mr. L. A. Kibbe. o- Kolstad at least gave the appearance of a good General, with all of his medals and his military atmosphere. Moroni Olsen Troupe Present "What Every Woman Knows", on Thursday Tickets will go on sale next Monday for the Moroni Olsen players' production /'What Every Woman Knows", by Sir James M. Barrie, which will be presented iri the auditorium, Thursday, May 16. This four-act comedy is one of Barrie's best works and it promises to be a fitting close to the company's current season. Moroni Olsen is personally directing the production. John Shand; played by Moroni Olsen, is the "great man" in the play and the first factor that contributes to his advance toward his leadership is the fact that the Wy-lie men-folks are worried for fear their sister Maggie, who is unfor-tuantely without charm, may never win a husband as she deserves. Shand Bound to Contract The Wylie men capture a burglar in their library which turns out to be John Shand. John is a student who can not afford to buy books for himself. The- Wyiie's take advantage of his predicament, bind him to a contract under which they are to educate him and he agres to marry Maggie in return. His rise is. rapid from then on. He marries Gaggie who quietly assists' him from the background as he climbs higher on the ladder of success. ••'••'•'•'•.'.• .''• ;• •; .:-V''-•'•'•' Unselfish Womanhood Then the inevitable thing occurs, he meets the woman whom he believes to be the source of his inspiration. He. makes a "clain breast" of the affair to Maggie. Then she sends him off to the home of the Comtesse in order that he may be near the source of his inspiration in order to write speeches which will win him more renown. Finally Maggie rescues him ,from the hands of Sybil, when he finds his inspiration is a failure, and he learns what every woman knows. This is the second Barrie play which the Moroni Olsen players have- presented in the past , two years. "Dear Brutus" was presented here two years ago and was one of the best plays of the season. The cast for the play is as follows : Alick Wylie Jos. H.' Williams David Wylie .....Addison Richards James Wylie, his son....B. K.

"Peter Pan" in Assembly The dramatization of Peter Pan, by the fourth grade of the training school, was received with enthusiasm by the Normal students during the assembly period, Friday, May 3. The play was produced in two acts. In the first, Peter teaches the children to fly and the second act took place in "Never-Never Land." Peter Played Well Dorothy Day made a spritely and mischievous Peter, Helen Cory a trusting and efficient Wendy and the naughty Tinkerbell was played by Gene Squire. Donald Dack made a most ferocious kind of pirate as Captain Hook and played his part cleverly as did all the other boys and girls who represented pirates, indians and the poor little lost boys who wanted a mother. • The production of this lovely child's story by J. M. Barrie is an annual event in the training school. It is always entertaining to adults as well as children and it is hoped that the children will favor the students again in entertaining in our assemblies. o HAVE CONTRIBUTIONS Song Committee Decides to Close Word Contest Sooner Than Song Competition.

We wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to those students, who, through their untiring efforts have succeeded in making and decorating Normal's float entry for the Tulip Parade this afternoon. [•' We are deeply indebted to Miss Kathleen Skalley for her excellent direction and planning for our float, as well as the splendid co-operation of her assistants, Miss Theresa Gunther, Miss Hazel Breakey, and Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, who have done much in adding artistic beauty and charm and also making it possible, through a well distributed lighting arrangement, to enter our float in the Saturday evening illuminated parade. The float will carry twelve children from the Training school and Queen Edna Working, who will ride in state upon her throne. As we see the parade pass before us today in Bellingham's tenth annual Tulip Festival parade, we can better judge and express our thanks for the float that is a representative of our-institution. . . ' - ' IT'S A L L O V E R N O W— The Normal Campus is gleaming spick and span; like a magnificent Dutch Cleanser ad, the whole student population armed with pails, brushes andi other such painful articles swarmed over the athletic field and surrounding hills last Tuesday. We feel sure the renowned "White Wings" would consider any of ,us a "find." Especially diligent was the paddle squad, whose motto was "Paddle first and investigate after." The delightfully informal attire worn by. all was, to say the least, surprising, and perhaps the less said about it the better. This also applies to the faculty baseball game, a comedy thatWould have made a movie director froth with joy. In conclusion, some of the lame sun-burned victims affirm that the best part of the program was the lunch, and the time taken off while consuming water, which everyone religiously drank on every round -of the despairing water squad. But anyway, it was a great day! T H A N K Y O U — T R A I N I N G SCHOOL , The Training school of Normal put on an unusually fine program for our entertainment in last Friday's assembly. The little play, "Peter Pan", was enacted with the same spirit of play and youth that made "Peter Pari" a friend to us, and took us, faculty and all, back to the days when fairy land was our dearest fancy. We are extremely grateful to the Training school pupils who gave us this vision of bold pirates with gleaming knives, of bright "Tinker-bell,". of sparkling eternal youth, shown in "Peter", and most of all it brought back our childhood days, (it is not so far back and we can easily recall them). We remember when mother told us stories of fairies, strange lands and animals, and how we marveled at them.. But in the end, there is a spark of something that is becoming more pronounced.in American life, that is the spirit of youth everlasting. We'll never grow old and give up; the faculty and students (this was most evident on Campus day) are all "just kids" together, in a way that binds us all in a friendship eternal! ON " S T R A W" -\, "Every dog has his day" so the saying goes, and this is the season when the lowly straw is glorified. Straws in the mouth (no, not pipe mixture) and straws on the head. Imagine the thrills of our boys as they frantically rush from store to store, seeking a straw hat having just the right colored band to match their eyes, ears and nose. And straws are so light on the head, in other words making our heroes even more lightheaded-— Oh, hum! gt; T H E MORNING A F T ER "Free platform from which to view parade offered to aged and infirm, by local company", we^read in news item. It's a good thing the' big parade was not held on last Wednesday, ; or the startled populace would probably have seen the entire Normal student body tottering feebly thereon. ^ft^'A' THE L I T E R A R Y P O P U L A CE P | . Interesting is the fact that ninety-four per cent of the 65,000 boys ^;;^iaitten"ding continuation school in New.York State are newspaper readers, lllj^atxpriding to a survey made lately at Albany. Fiction is second in | | f ^demand and story magazines come third.

How about a new school yell? chug-er-um ker-plnnk chug-er-um ker-plnnk chug-er-um ker-plnnk Pow! A whole year before we can try plus fours again; We just can't learn to add. "Add how!" gurgles the maid with a dew sprig cold. Pass the vadilla ice creab, pleace. Due to many requests, we are reprinting Henry Ford's motto: "Every Knock is a Boost." From thence we derive the hypothesis that this column is being boosted vociferously. Conversely, a knock on the knuckle is worth two on the knoodle. Don't be stupid Oscar, the coronation is not a flower. All right, all right, if you're going to get all hot and lathered about it; maybe she does love you; why should you be an exception. We'll see you at the carnival and help spend that dime. Last^ year the laughing hyena was sick £or two days after seeing the Normal School delegation. H E Y ! H E Y ! HEY! Come on ovah! PROMINENT STUDENT "Sailor beware—Sailor take c a r e - Many brave hearts. lie asleep in - the deep!" Fully as intriguing,, as vivid, and as true as last week's narrative of Wildcat Keppler's adventures -in Central Oregon, is the following story of three youthful Vikings-belonging to the younger set, by the way. Reads Like Fiction ^ Giving the U. S. government's Light-house service, Radio stations. and Coast Guard work for eight hours between 11:00 a. m. last Sunday night and 7:00 a. m. Monday, theSe three roving Vikings and thirteen other' Scoutmasters made history in the log of Davy Jones when their good ship "The Helen Hinton" struck a rock' off Smith's Island Light. last Sunday night. I shall let the Associated Press continue their story: "Sixteen Boy Scout leaders of Bellingham, returning in a thirty-two-foot power cruiser from Camp Parsons, on the Olympic peninsula, were saved early Monday morning after being wrecked on Smith's island by using blinkers to signal Morse code distress messages to the lighthouse service and radio station located on the island less than a mile away. The marooner Scoutmasters were rescued at 2:30 this morning (Monday) by a United States coastguard cutter, sent to their aid by the lighthouse service. And fight'-;' ing «*heir way through the storm racked straits of Juan de Fuca in the darkest and wildest of nights, the'cutter landed the leaders safely in Bellingham five hours later'. —The group was returning from a conference at the camp of leaders and executives' from' Western Washington and British Columbia." That is the story—but it leaves off just at ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 May 10 - Page 3 ---------- S;/|sp?H^-pfP|i^^P^ W/^HINGTbN STATE'NORMA^^ /j - / CT^ j|8; VIKINGS TRIUMPH IN GAME WITH RANGERS I n the Last Home Game of Season St Martin's Baseball Squad Bows Before Bellingham Sluggers 8-7. ODELL OUTSTANDING STAR ^ Still another time this school year a Viking team triumphed over the Rangers from St. Marin's-college. This time it was in the sport, baseball. The game was played in the midst of threats of rain,, cold wind, dark clouds, and an occasional smile from Old Sol, on Waldo field last Friday afternoon. The score stood at the close of the contest, 8 to 7 in our favor. The Rangers brought a chucker along that had a fast ball that fairly sizzled when he cut , it loose. This speed ball merchant finished the game with twelve strike-outs to his credit, but sometime during the fray the Vikings got eleven hits to nose the Rangers out of the game by a single tally. On the other hand the Viking twirler, Thor-lakson, allowed but four hits and struck out only four or five men. Hard Hitting The Norsemen hit the ball hard for their pitcher, but through errors, they let him in for a tough time by putting him in the hole, at times when he would have to do double duty in order to get out of trouble. The game, after the first three innings, was loose and ragged, with both sides making their share of bonehead plays and errors. Both pitchers were sadly lacking in good support. , The feature hits of the day may be accredited to one of the Rangers, who pounded a circuit clout with one man aboard the bags, and Odell, McClurken, ' a nd Bailey, for the Viking stickers. Odell Stars For pulling the smartest play of the season, we must hand the prize to Ray Odell, Viking second sacker, who made a wild leaping roll into the air, turned a sommersault, and speared a liner right hot off the bat of one of the visitors. The play was one of the best and fastest that this writer has seen in several seasons of the game, and is only one of the many instances in which Odell has shown himself to be a "heads-up" player. More men like him is what the Vikings need more than anything else. HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by W CHARLIE HORSE Campus Day Contests Prove, To Be Unusually Entertaining VIKINGS TO MEET Series of Three Games Will Start This Afternoon; Norsemen Have Strong Twirlers This Year. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock the Viking baseball team left Bellingham for Ellensburg, where they will meet the Wildcat nine in a series of three games, beginning this afternoon. There will be one game this afternoon, and a second one in the morning. In the event that either team wins the first two contests, the third will not be played. Report has it that the Wildcats are a strong aggregation this year, and if- the way in which they defeated the Whitman Missionaries last week is any indication of their strength, the Vikings are in for a tough time in this series. * Strong Twirlers The Norsemen are going to battle the Wildcats with a strong corps of twirlers, headed by the veteran "Granny" Thorlakson, Stiger, Williams, and Lundberg being in reserve. The duties surrounding the work on the initial sack will be handled in the person of big Occie Thorsen, who has held that position for" two seasons. The hard hitting Ray Odell will be in his usual place on the keystone sack, while the hot corner will be ably" handled by the diminutive chatter-box, 2Jeke McClurken. The shortstop berth in all probability will be filled by George Lundberg. The outer gardens will be well taken care of by Clarke, Dixon, Bailey, and Hamilton. The receiving department is the location of the' Viking's greatest. weakness.

However, the. squad is working hard and is trying to perfect its work, and by the twenty-fourth of May, may look a*lot better. We have always been told that the proper thing to do with the ball when a fielder catches it, is to get rid of it. But there is such a thing as getting rid of it too soon. Ask Occie about it. \ Everybody is liable to slip once in a while, and if none of the boys slip any oftener than Occie, well the Vikings would have a truly wonderful ball club. The ball team is plenty good as it is, and is deserving of the support of every loyal Normal student. * * *• * It seems that indoor "sports" still hold the spotlight.

To judge from the pre-ineet dope, the Vikings stood a good chance to win out. NORMAN BRIGHT, STAR MIL-ER, IS BACK ON THE TRACK, AFTER NEARLY TWO WEEKS OF ILLNESS AND REST.

True to tradition it was "work first and play after;" but after the morning's labor was over the athletic field became the scene of- contests, relays, races and ball games. During the lunch hour an entertainment was given under the supervision -- gt;of Glenn Goddard. The Men's club chorus led by Joe Herm-sen sang one of the school songs which was submitted in the song contest. Ray Craft led the student body in singing, and Liz Gables gave several selections on the piano. Chariot Race In the chariot race the Thespians nosed out the Philos in an exciting race. Between acts Chuck Erick-son gave the crowd a few laughs when he paddled a few members of the girls' paddle squad. The contests, under the supervision of Zeke McClurken, consisted of a tug of war, 440 yard relay and a novelty relay. The "Blues" under the leadership of Clark seemed to be the most successful. One of the most exciting'races of the day was the wheel barrow race in which Arnett and Bensen were victorious. In the girls' wheelbarrow race Devries and Young "won by a big margin, both taking a nice nose dive at the finish; The '^Reds", with Dot Goldberg as captain were the winners in the girls tug-pf-war. The boys' relay was won „by tlie "Blues" team, composed vof Cole, Clark, Adkinson and Beckes. Big League Games ' The "girls-faculty" baseball game produced more laughter from the onlookers than any other contest. Mr. Winther, dressed as a cowboy, was the umpire, receiving his share of laughs with his comic stunts. The game ended in a tie. In the "boys-faculty" baseball game, the faculty was defeated in a close score of 5-4. The battery for the faculty was composed of Ruckmick and Ford. Mr. Philip-pi was by f ai-, the most outstanding star of the game getting one run, two hits and no errors, beside making a spectacular catch in the field. The big day was brought to a fitting climax by the dance at the armory under the supervision of Joe Hermsen. The Armory was beautifully decorated in the,, colors of the spectrum, under the guidance of Dorothy Sasse. H O W MANY C A N Y O U A N S W E R ?

CLEAN-UP SQUAD CAPTURES MOUSE Among the exciting events that •colored the Campus day activities, none interested more people, or ' touched the finer susceptibilities of more people, than the capture and imprisonment of Ike, a little field mouse who has been in the habit of gamboling about the environs of North Hill. The cleanup squad had hardly set to work when Ike, out of curiosity perhaps, came out of hiding to watch the activities himseif, and .' to bask in t h e warm sunshine. Innocent, lovable, and gay, he followed the various gangs of workers as they busied themselves in eluding t h e paddle squads. Yet Ike was worried, because he didn't know where his next meal was coming from. T But fate, who watches the destiny of every creature, sent Ray Greene along, who found Ike, • caught him, and carried him away. Mr. Greene gave him to Lillian Roberts, who took the little animal tenderly, and mascotted him through the afternoon. Ike dried his tears and thought, "this probably isn't so bad after all." Miss Roberts symptahized with Ike. She went to the Science department and got him a cage. Then she went to Miss Rich in the training school and offered him to the second grade, if they would take good care of him and see t h a t he never wanted for the luxuries of life. That was Tuesday — Wednesday morning when the keeper came to , bring his bowl of bread and milk, an unusual thing had happened. The stork had come in the night, and Ike, safe in the warm cage, had become a mother. There, following her about in her morning walk, were five litle kittens, or puppies, or whatever little mice are called Ike was happy, but consternation reigned in the training school.' Ike is not a good name for a mother mouse.

EXTRA ACTIVITIES The week beginning May first was set aside this year as national child health week. It has been observed in the; training school ,by a few extra activities although Miss Rich says that every week is child health week in this institution. The first day was devoted to the inspection of teeth by Dr. T. M. Barlow and Dr. Clinton Prouty of the Bellingham Dental Society. They were assisted by Miss May Meade and Miss Kathleen 6'Malley, our school nurses and Ruth Avey and Carlyle Jones, student teachers in the sixth grade. More than 300 children attended this clinic which is held every year gratuitously. Among other phases of health work receiving special emphasis this week is the matter of lunch menus, posture and general sanitation in the school building. The bill of fare is sent by Mrs. Day, manager of the cafeteria, to Miss Rich's office, from whence it is sent to the different rooms in the training school. Each teacher takes up the discussion of proper food combinations from a scientific point of view with her pupils and each child is then prepared to choose his food according to the rules of hygiene. Miss Kathleen Skalley has charge of the work of. improving posture. She reports a steady improvement as a result of persistent effort. The different rooms are compared on a percentage basis. Eighth graders gave the following answers: —The epistles were the wives of the apostles. —Martin Luther did not die a natural death—he was excommunicated by t he Pope's bull. —A thermometer is an instrument for measuring of temperance.

This is being mimeographed and copies will be distributed free of charge to those desiring them. This work was taken over- at Mr. Ransacker's request as much of the information requested by students was beyond the sphere of his organization. It is of much general interest and presents valuable material used directly in school work. Copies will be distributed in assembly. , They are also mailing letters to all of the Alumni for Alumni day on June 1. FACULTY AND W. A. A. SPEND TJAY AT LODGE A group of eighteen went to Sinclair Island last Saturday to spend the day at the . Viqueen lodge. Misses Grace Sullivan and Helen Dozier and Messrs. Arthur Kolstad and Oscar Winther, accompanied the group. An enjoyable day was spent in playing ball, eating, cleaning up the cabin and hiking thru the woods. In the afternoon the neighbors took the party on a boat trip, where some of the girls had the thrill of seeing some big catches. A cod about five feet long was caught on the trip and was given to them. «o — Hoover's Farm Relief Bill wins a great majority in the House but does not meet with so much favor in the Senate.

L. • 4 — OF CONTROL FAVORS PEP BAND u I I • The present writer and founder of the column "Normalite", which has somehow existed in The Viking far five quarters, wishes to balance a few old accounts, close the books, and cast them in the direction of Ray Craft, who has attained quite an eminent position in campus circles— politically, socially, and journalistically. „ : And Mr. Craft will have to go seme, should we wish to carry on With the same pace that—(and with a blush of modesty I'll drift over in the world of education). W. S. N. S. - It often "burnt me up" to see how sacrilegiously some journalists could write. For instance,. Mr. Sundstrom, who took over "Normalite" during my leave of absence would peck quite mirthlessly at the way the campus was run. He maintained that if attendance at the Normal was not required, few, if any would show up in classes. Perhaps Sundstrom was right, but in a slightly different sense than he" anticipated. It happens that in 1930 we are not ready for the ideal Normal school. And should one be instigated now we would have practically no use nor appreciation for such an institution . We still like to get our education by contract, rather than by direct" purpose. Like insurance, we pay quarterly premiums in form of registration fees. So, summing educational activity •up quickly, it seems logical to still use the clock, the curricula, and the orderly ways of doing things, because the school is a center for the group and not as yet for the indi- •yidual.

BOND FACULTY ADVISOR Control Board Will Budget Money Apportionment for Next Term at Regular Meeting, Monday. NEED FOR MORE MEN IS URGENT IN CHORAL CLUB FOR "CREATION" Now, let's get down to a few present problems. After attempting to make realities of the School song contest, ..a constitutional amendment (now forgotten) a men's glee club, and whatnot, Normalite would., bate ..a breath toward a problem that will be a real problem when you begin ycur student teaching. • It's the problem of discipline. One writer in these columns recently reprimanded me when I stated that a course which would take up everything concerning the technique cf discipline is a felt and paramount need in our curricula. Child interest was the main factor in the argument: that if child interest was taken care of, discipline would become natural. I t should be repeated that this is still 1930... Isn't it possible that we may be just a little ahead of times and practice in the above painted ideal?.. What is the situation out in the teaching field?.. It is for the most., part., discipline—it probably shouldn't l gt;e—but yet just this situation exists right now... Scores of courses here offer to strengthen the interest side—courses which are excellent for the present, but which as our psychologists tell us do not transfer over for future practical use. We are a Christian nation;., but how few of us practice real Christianity. I t is well to have ideas and ideals, but let's get them working for an appreciable betterment of the pres- .ent. While all kinds of theories might be true if carried to their ultimates, • human needs' might be met best if they were cared for right now by a present panacea, instead of being fed by an opiate of theory —educationally, at least. The Board of Control will budget its money apportionment for the coming quarter at its next regular meeting next Monday. This announcement was made by Lyle Summers following the meeting of last week. Considerable business was taken up at the last meeting. The Board stated its stand on hiring student musicians for "rec" hours as "favoring them providing that they can satisfy the demands of the student in general". The. newly formed student five-piece dance band will be given a trial at today's danced which •will take place per usual. The Board decreased some of the worries of the Pep band leaders by authorizing the purchase of a bass drum. Ford Goes to Pullman There was an auditory report made en the Student's Co-Op, and proved favorable. In connection with the Co-Op audit the Board will send Sam Ford, manager, to Pullman next March for the Coop managers' convention. Mr. E. A. Bond, of the Mathematics department was unanimously elected as faculty advisor to the Student Board of Control for four quarters. _—o CLUB PLANS DANCES The.Choral club tryout, held last Monday afternoon, resulted in the appearance of. some seventy students, sixty of them being girls and the remaining ten, boys. Credit is given in this class and and it is listed under Music 20a and 20b, its purpose being to aid the student in learning and performing oratorios. There will be regular meetings every Monday at 4. o'clock and work will begin immediately on Haydn's "Creation';.

Plans Made at Pep Club Meeting to Raise Necessary Funds by a Series of Afternoon Dances. -W. S. N. S.- But foresight has its place. Especially when it is pointing to a vacant spot in the curricula of the nation's schools. It is safe to predict that within the next five years every school child in urban America will carry home two report cards instead of one. The added card will rate the student as to character values: application, fairness, etc. After all, what is, t he .real goal of education?—the latter mentioned qualities or ability in Chemistry of ^Colloids for example? With plans for the adding of color and pep to the coming Varsity games as the main topic of discussion, the nawly organized Pep club held a meeting Tuesday night in the auditorium. vi Regulations for an advisory board were drawn up. In addition to the officers the board for this quarter will include Lou Griffin and William Ward. Shirts Selected The type of sweat shirts to be worn was selected after much discussion. The members will mostly buy these themselves but funds are bo be raised to help with their payment. Music for the dance will be furnished by the newly organized student five-piece dance band that will make its second appearance at today's "rec" hour. On February 7 the club will hold an initiation for the 50 new members that are being selected this week. b Those who plan to travel, to the Orient are offered a new course at the University of Washington extension service that will give a broader' knowledge of the people and customs of the far east. The course, under the direction of Professor Eldon Griffin of the University's department of Oriental stud-, ies, metes in the Henry building at 8 o'clock each Wednesday evening. WOMEN TAKE LEAD Twenty-one students completed their studies in a two-year course with the close of the fall quarter and of these three have already secured positions. Diplomas will not be granted to the rest until the end of the spring quarter unless the graduates receive appointments before that time. This 'makes the time limit of the diploma longer. Women in Lead Women, as usual, greatly outnumber the men and Bellingham has the greatest number of graduates. The three now teaching are: Mel-vin Omeg, Toledo; Opal Jenkins, Seattle, and Ruth Bump, Wenat-chee. The others are: Ruth .Bradley, Burlington; Ellen Chapman,' Tacoma; Ted* Clarke, Bellingham; Edith Coffman, Centralis ; Ethel Dahlman, Castlerock ; Charles Erickson, Marysville; Or-leane Fitcha, Astoria, Oregon; Ruth Herman', Everett; Louise Jonas, Ab-ardeen; Hannah Jones, Twisp; Gordon Leen, ' Bellingham; Richard Louis, Seattle; Hazel O'Connor.

' Second of the plays of the 1929r 30 season of the First Circuit Repertory Company of the Moroni Olsen Players, Karel Capek's "The Makropoulos Secret" will be presented here on January 24, under the-auspices of the Bellingham State Normal School. The subject matter of "The Makropolous Secret" is subject matter with which philosophers, and fabulists and dramatists have played for countless years—the subject, of perpetual individual existence. It is the subject matter of "The Wandering Jew" and the subject matter of "The Flying Dutchman" and of the legend of the Fountain :f Youth and innumerable other basic human legends. But in the hands of Capek it receives a new treatment and is 'a-ansmuted through the fantastic imagination of this great play-vright, into a new and amazingly fascinating thing. Secret Hinted The secret, hinted at in the very opening of the play, hangs darkly mplied over. the whole progress of ;he action. The reader or audience :egins to share with the characters In the play, the combined feeling, of eagerness for the last mask to be striped from the face of Emilia Marty and of almost panic at the premonition of whai that unmasking will reveal. , Then the secret is fully disclosed and Emilia, this woman who has lived and been youthful for 350 years, until existence and human experience inall its phases has flattened to the monotony of an oft-told tale, faces that from which she has flinched through the time of nine generations of normal, life. Secret Perishes She makes her decision, the secret disclosed is permitted to perish, and humanity is saved from the horror and the burde nof possible immortality. Pure fantastic material, one is inclined to say in advance, but when one reads the play or witnesses it in production, Capek's skill as an artist, succeeds in turning the fantastic material into something of astonishing reality and vitality. The First Circuit Repertory Company, in presenting this play, will bring back on the circuit several members who were not with the tour of "Twelve Thousand", the. first play of the season, in which the cast was limited. FACULTY RETURN FROM TRIPS Many Still- en Absence Leaves Are Studying in Schools in the East and South, or Traveling. •Several of the faculty members who have been on leaves of absence returned at the beginning of the present quarter to resume their pedagogic duties.

It has been arranged through the executive ability of the Women's League to hold their quarterly ball in the new crystal room in tiie Hotel Leopold, making it possible to accommodate all the girls who wish to attend. Prices are no higher than before, one dollar admitting a couple. This dance promises to be one of the most successful of Normal's history, judging from the fine enthusiasm already displayed by girls planning to go with their best Boy friend, and the arrangements made with Hotel authorities and orchestra. Barney's orchestra will furnish the music for the dancers in the "Night Club".,, T H A T ' S F I G H T I N G , F A N S! Last Saturday, at the St. Martin's game, an enthusiastic crowd of basketball fans were on the job. It showed, for one thing, that Normal wasn't a "one sport school", in that we have an interest for another game besides football, that we can recognize a real basketball quintet and are anxious to give it any aid from the side lines that we can. Most of us wish we could go with the team to Ellensburg and Cheney next week, but,anyway in our hearts we wish them the best of success and hope they swamp both those institutions. o News Item: "It appears that the city of Chicago will have to close its schools February I, due to the bankruptcy of its school system, and due to the fact that the city can neither beg nor borrow money to keep things going." Here is a chance for the student majoring in finance at the University of Chicago, to come to the rescue. • . o . MORONI O L S E N P L A Y E RS Organized in the Fall of 1923, in a loft workshop over a grocery store in Ogden, Utah, the Moroni Olsen players began their extensive career. The purpose of the organization is to perfect their own art through the presentation of plays of recognized merit and distinction, to a public, wherever it may be found, that lacks otherwise the opportunity to see first rate presentations of plays of this sort. Effort directed toward perfection of the dramatic ensemlV.e, without star or leading lady or man as a part of the system, and to hold the organization's nucleus together over a period of years sufficient to develop this ideal of ensemble production. Karel Capek has proved himcelf a master of realistic phantasy already, in " R . U. R.", presented by the Normal Drama club last year, and in the "Makropoulos Secret", coming next Friday, he displays the same great sense of theater and of human logic that is felt in that earlier play of the "robots". • The Company is sponsored by the Bellingham Normal and it will be worthwhile for students to attend this performance. : O : ....THIS MORNING I SAW SILVER MOUNTAIN PEAKS AGAINST the morning blue. # * * * And yesterday I saw miles of jreen foam, bit into by jagged points and islands and fretted by sharp uneasy winds. * * * * i Last night the world was draped in silver and srystalline.

Viking Writer Gives Views on Rec Orchestra By RAY CRAFT T H E N E W E R T R E N D IN E D U C A T I ON We are unconscious of a newer trend in education. Five years ago mass education was the thing, and it was a common thing to say: "I'm a college student". Five years* from now it will be rather an uncommon thing to utter such a statement. And ten years from today education in America will go back again to an aristocracy, but unquestionably a different species of aristocracy than was upheld in the 60's or even back as far as Colonial times. It will be a truer aristocracy, and will not be based on standards of jnaterial wealth, but rather upon the wealih of the mind. It shall be an aristocracy of scholarship in its finest sense. University, college, and normal standards have been raised ever so much in the last decade. It's safe to state that enrollments in higher schools the country over have decreased from 5 to 25 percent. This is particularly true of the Pacific Coast, including our own school. And as far as standards are concerned, in 1933 every student here will be required to go an extra year for a regular normal diploma. Grades will be above par and diplomas will be at a premium. It appears that we are Reaching,a Cold Standard in the profound business of guiding our growing-up'men and women. • In shorter words, the educator may now appeal his problem—that it is a question whether or not the American nation is better off with a mass of half-baked diploma holders, or whether if a newer and finer aristocracy should control the country's welfare and destiny. The problem has grown to be a regular seven-headed hydra, bringing along a few other situations that require real thinking—situations such as a surplus of under-educated beings, and also the administrative aggravation of financing adequately a school when enrollment is already the basis for revenue. ;• About the only gratifying thought left is that America is large enough and heterogeneous enough to be a testing ground for all kinds of educational experiments—the kind of experiments that lead to improve- ™e n t s - —G.

M. C. A. thrown in for good measure. But it's tough on the team to have to play these games away from home. The fellows will need all the moral support they can get, so give the boys a hand before they start on the trip. The Varsity certainly had a wild tussle Monday night with the Knappton -Travelers. Prom the noise made by the very few fans present, a crowd the size of the one at the St. Martin's game would have wrecked the gym. And the funny part of it is that the Travelers got as much support as the home-town-ers.

Wednesday, and Cheney Normal on Next Thursday and Friday. TEAM LEAVES SUNDAY We see that Mr. James "Jimmy" Phelan, new coach at the JJ. of W., has started work early. After talking it over with his predecessor. Enoch Bagshaw, he called out the football team last Friday, and told them what he expected of them. Who knows but what that may be the beginning for a 1930 Coast Conference championship ? Washington State seems to have a mighty good start on this year's basketball season, seeing as they are leading in the Northwest division with three losses and one defeat. They split a two game series with Oregon University last week, and took two straight from Oregon State this week. The University of Washington opens its conference season tonight against Oregon State. Wish we had the nerve; of our well known friend, George Herman Rath. We might influence somebody to give us a job with the satisfactory pay check of a few hundred a month. Imagine asking $255,- 000 just to knock a piece of horse-hide around for three years. Who says it doesn't pay to advertise?.. This week's allotment of high school basketball for our fair city is the game between Fairhaven, the league leaders, and Blaine, cellar champs. It looks like a walk-away, but who can tell? Whatcom's team goes to Mount Baker in an effort to root the Mountaineers out of second place, and" that game will probably be close. The games are Friday night. \ . And now let's give the Super-varsity a pat on the back. With the first half over, they ..are ..leading with four victories and no defeatss. I t 's true that they must play a postponed game with the Y. M. C. A. team, but the worst they can do is to be tied for first, and the idea is to hope for the best. Eleven Girls Scale Chuckanut Mountain Last Saturday Miss Lillian George took eleven girls on a hike to Chuckanut mountain where a marvelous view of all the surrounding country may be had. Miss Reese, of the library staff, also accompanied them. •Several all-day hikes have been planned for this quarter. Among which will be a hike up Lummi mountain, on Lummi Island. All Girls May Go These hikes are open to all girls in the school even though they do not belong to the W." A. A. Miss George said that she wished more girls would turn out because they have very enjoyable trips. Announcements for the hikes aire posted on the W.A. A. bulletin board far enough in advance to make plans accordingly. Gloom settled down on the camp of Coach Sam Carver and his Blue and White horde late this week when it was learned that Bill Kasch, former St. Martin's star, might be ineligible for the Ellensburg and Cheney games. This will narrow the team down to six and with only one reserve a mighty big chance is being taken. Leaves Sunday The team leaves here Sunday about 6 o'clock, and Monday and Tuesday will see them exchanging growls in the lair of the Ellensburg Wildcats, Wednesday they will do battle with the Yakima Y. M. C. A., and Friday and Saturday they will exchange warhoops with the Cheney Savages and will arrive here again Monday afternoon. Toagh Opposition The Vikings are going to run into a lot of tough opposition when they venture forth on their basketball crusade as Ellensburg has defeated such teams as Idaho, Oregon, Whitman and W. S. C. The Y. M. C. A. is just a former W. S. C. team, and Cheney has defeated Gonzaga University. But the Vikings will take care of themselves. The men Carver has picked to go for sure, are: Pederson, Rork, Dixon, Sanders, Erickson, Thorsen, and Miller, with possibily Kasch. o SITORS TAKE FAST SWIM MEETS TO BE HELD ATY.W.C.A. Knappton Travelers Cinch a 41-37 Victory in Fast and Furious Mix with Varsity on Fairhaven Floor: Getting three baskets in as many unguarded attempts, Joe Mechals cinched a 41-37 victory for the Knappton Travelers, of Raymond, over the Viking Varsity last Monday night on the Fairhaven floor. The Travelers won the contest only after the locals had forced the ame into a second five-minute overtime period. The play was fast and furious in these two extra cantos, with the Normalites leading with the offensive work and outfighting their opponents, but unguarded players on three occasions cost them an apparent victory. "During the first three quarters the contest was I comparatively slow caused mostly by the close checking of the players and the repeated long shots of the Knappton tossers that were sometimes tried from the center of the floor. Last Quarter Wild Both teams, however, turned loose in the last quarter and the score see-sawed back and forth in an uncertain manner. The outsiders got a two-point lead and started to stall but a break for the Vikings gave Pederson a chance to sink a long one and knot tbe- score with only ten seconds of play remaining. Play Over-Time The first over-time period was just a case of two "wild" teams scoring one basket after another, each quintet accounting for eight points in that short period. It looked like a Bellingham victory when a basket by Thorsen and three by Pederson gave them a 6 marker lead but three longs by the winners tied the score at 35. Cripple Shots Win . Again the squads entered an overtime but a conservative Normal lead was soon smothered with 3 "cripple" shots. The Carverites displayed the fastest passing offense but their defense was not quite as tight as that of the Travelers. Yet the visitors seldom tried to get through it,.- being content with long shots.

The class has been following the expedition all fhe school year and has been doini Intensive work on it for the last jthree weeks. They will continue to yat;ch the t r ip through the year. Explorers I n History C oorse. '"•.;•. The history course" for t he fourth grade is t h e study of great explorers and, so this studying of Byrd's trip falls right in line with the subject. • The class first started work by bringing clippings from magazines and newspapers on the subject so that all-the children were fully acquainted with the details. As they knew more about the trip they became njore interested and soon asked questions which brought other subje cts into the discussion. Science is brought in through the studying of the difference in seasons between the antarctic and here and English through the giving of the assembly. Geography has its place through the location of districts on maps and the different zones. Bulletin Board Kept. With the material they have gathered they made a scrap book and are keeping up a bulletin board The children themselves are looking after the bulletin board and the scrap book. They have several books one of them being Commander Byrd's "Skyward," which they are reading for more material. An interesting experiment worked out by t he class was in the form of a practical test. They were asked ;Why such an expedition was taken; what would be the different outcomes, and what would they have ,to do in preparation, The children put down the reasons they thought and then compared them with different clippings. As a general principle practically all t h e reasons coincided. Assembly Program Illustrated The program this ' morning was made up of talks given by several of the students chosen by t he class. Each boy and girl has made a poster Illustrating some phase of t he antarctic; as t h e dog teams or the boats. These posters were the basis of the different talks and helped the school.to understand the work that has been done. The whole unit has stressed the •adventure of exploration. Children love adventure and for that reason perhaps, they have enjoyed the study even more t h a n if they had only the facts with which to work. —: O— — M|SS SPERRY ILL Miss M.

Druses recently returned from a four months vacation in the East and Mid-west, where she has been visiting art and normal schools, and picking up artistic pieces for herself and t he local Art department of which she is the chairman. A great deal of her time was spent in Chicago where she visited the Art Institute, the famous Chicago Museum of Art, and an interesting' demonstration of work in home furnishing. Buys French Pottery Among the art objects brought back by Miss Druse are pieces of pottery, Egyptian and Indian textiles, cretonnes, and quite a valuable collection of modernistic illustrations which are the work of a young French artist. Miss Druse reports "a very wonderful vacation", and saw several former students of the school . a t various places during her journey. During her travels she visited fiends and relatives, stopping with friends in Yakima on her way back for' the Christmas holidays.- — o — r A musical entertainment was of-feired by Miss Florence Beeler, mezzo-contralto, in last Tuesday's assembly. She sang several selections among which "L'Esclave", by Lalo; "Dreamin' Time", by Strickland, and, "Attainment", by McGee, found special favor. Not only the extraordinary quality of Miss Beel-er's voice, but her charming poise won much approval from her audience. . Sweaters Awarded President Fisher awarded sweaters to twelve of t he football men for their work on the team, last fall. Those receiving sweaters were: Erickson, Cole, •Stickney, Shelton, Brunstad, Blankenship, Priem, Miller, Cardwell, Worshem, Mollan and Tverson. W M . CONSTITUTION President Ruth Sammons Was in Charge of Meeting and Brought up the Suggested Revision. Constituional changes were decided at a meeting of the Women's Athletic association, Wednesday afternoon January 16. President Ruth Sammons was in charge of the meeting and brought the different suggested changes before the girls of the club. After a general discussion of the changes as a whole, each measure was voted on. The following changes were passed: that membership to the club could be obtained by application; one may retain membership by making 50 points a quarter instead of 100; and t h a t the W. A: A. insignia be given for 100 points, rather than 200. Still another change was made and passed in manager's points. A manager shall get 50 points for completion of her duty and may turn out for her sport except basketball. Basketbr.ll managers shall not turn out but shall be allowed 100 additional points. All sportr managers shall belong to t he council and shall attend council meetings. The dues were changed to on: dollar a year, or 50 cents a quarter. The proposed change that a care", or certificate be given rather than a sport numeral for making first team was vetoed. Several suggested changes have been left for discussion. The constitution committee which made up t he suggested changes was- Miss Mildred Jewell, Miss Ruth Wey-thman, Miss Margery Horton, Grace Hess,-Katherine Zeran, Ruth Jamison and Adriana Vander Griend. Londoners made 3,8999,000,000 passenger journeys in 1928 .on railways, tramways and busses, an average per inhabitant of one and a half trips per day.

"Well," said Matilda, quaintly scratching the part in her- effeminate boyish ± gt;ob with" a lettuce leaf, absent-mindedly thinking it spinach. "It was going through the Postofiice doors that "Bill" and I first started going around together." just then, and years after we have often thought how we have jeered at this if it had happsned in a story, "Bill" -walked in.

The vehicle is to be presented by the Radford Art players, a company of the first magnitude in the West. The story is woven around the purchase of the Suez Canal by England's: great Jewish prime . minister, who was the only man of his day to see the importance of the canal to the whole world. Spies tried to thwart him, his compatriots attempted to raise complications and.it was only by his subtlety and nerve that he. finally succeeded in outwitting his enemies and out-bluffed the unbelievers. Not only was "Dizzy", as he is affectionately called by his friends, one of England's most famous statesman but also one of her greatest wits. The play abounds in such epigrams as "The man who does not make jokes is a standing joke to his friends," and "the less a prime minister- does, the fewer mistakes he is apt to make." There is humor in every quirk of Dizzie's eyebrow and laughter upon his each fresh sally. The play as a whole presents a perfect and true picture of the times from the political arguments to the dainty lace mitts and hoop skirts of the ladies. Every element that goes into the concoction of a successful play is present. There is a charming love story of the two proteges of Disraeli and his own beautiful spy in Russian pay. Richards Leading Character. Addison Richards, who carries the title role, has been playing in the Passion Play in Los Angeles. Several critics affirm that Mr. Richards' About one hundred students attended the initial meeting' of the Choral Society last Monday evening in the auditorium. Under the direction of Harold B. Smith, the aspiring singers were placed in their respective places, .each one in the division corresponding to the part that he or she sang. After the voices had been put through the preliminary tactics, the election of officers took place with the following results: Phyllis Johnson, president; Ralph Johnson, vice-president, and Norman Burchette, secretary-treasurer. The club will meet every Monday evening, in the auditorium at seven, o'clock. The club is open to an unlimited number of men and Mr. Smith is anxiously waiting for more male voices to affiliate themselves with the society. The production that will be undertaken for this quarter is Mendelssohn's "Elijah".- CAST CHOSEN D M CLOB PUY Ralph Johnson and Florence Kriieger to Play Leads in "Road to Yesterday." ORCHESTRA CHOSEN FOR FALL QUARTER '' The Pirates'', Under Direction of Floyd Henrickson, to Furnish Music for "Rec" Hour. (Continued on Page Four) PEP RALLY FEATURED IN FRIDAY ASSEMBLY -The pep: rally in this mornings assembly, as a preparation for toihorr row's game with Seattle College, went over "big" with the students. The yells, led by Miss Buskett and "Windy" Smith, yell leaders, were followed by the school songs, ' in which a fine school spirit was demonstrated- It" is to be hoped that the same spirit will be shown at the game, to show the boys that the school is "all there." "The Pirates," an orchestra under the direction of Floyd Henrickson, was chosen to play for the Firday recreation hour by the Board of Control at its regular meeting of Monday afternoon, October 11. This orchestra will furnish the music for the weekly hour of dancing in the big gymnasium for the fall quarter. In the selection of an orchestra the Board of Control decided to take the recommendation of the judges, who were asked to judge oh the merits of the. music, only. The question was raised as to whether preference should not be given to orchestras composed of students, rather orchestras, some of whose members do not attend school and are professional nmaicians in $he city. That try-outs in the future should be held for an orchestra which could be classed as a strictkly student organization. * If no student group makes application or if the music of • the student organization applying does not prove satisfactory to competent judges, then the Board of Control as representative of the student body" shall be free to employ any professional orchestra that may prove satisfactory! O : Florence Krueger _was chosen by the faculty committee of the Drama club, Wednesday afternoon, to play the part of Elspeth, the leading character in "The Road To Yesterday," an English comedy to be produced by the Drama club in December. Miss Krueger is from Seattle and has attended the Elensburg Normal, at which place she took prominent parts in a number of dramatic presentations. Cast opposite Miss Krueger is Ralph Johnson, who will cultivate the role of Jack, a dashing young American chap around whom much of the play is centered. Mr. .Johnson played a juvenile lead in "The Goose Hangs High," the Normal Drama club's Christmas play of last year. Besides his participation in dramatics Mr. Johnson was a member of the 1925 debate-team. Interest Shown. Much deliberation was necessary in the selection of all the characters; because of the great interest manifested at the try-outs held last Monday and Wednesday afternoons. In several instances able characterizations of the same parts were made by four and five applicants. The resultant decisioia was possible only by the finest discrimination of the judges. The cast was chosen with careful regard as to character type and their participation with the other persons of the drama. The selection made gives promise to a capably acted and effectively staged production of this modern comedy of fantasy and romance. Work of producing the play will begin Monday of this next week. The complete personnel of "The Road to Yesterday" is as follows: Kenelm Paulton William Mock Jack Greatorex .-.. Ralph "Johnson Will Leveson ...;.

It isn't the easiest thing for a number of qualified judges to decide which of two musical groups would provide the greater pleasure and entertainment for the hundreds who glide and maneuver about the big gym1 floor. If the Normal.grows larger and the weekly ' ' r e c " hour more popular, it will soon become a project problem for Normal man and the blonde he prefers to diligently watch for a square foot of floor space and at the right moment, cop it. One of the orchestras may have been a loud, raucous bunch dispensing discords and ragged notes at uncalled for intervals. The members of one of the orchestras may have had but a few combined practices prior to their testing of last Friday. A school of the size and nature of the Normal could and should provide an orchestra made up from its own number. Perhaps the one group which exhibited its spirit and zeal will, with practice and by profit of criticism, be the favorite of the dancers when try-outs are held at the opening of the winter quarter. Or, mayhap, still a third orchestra will have become organized and by merit of ability win the approval of the students at that time. The choice ol the orchestra was a difficult task for those assigned, and these judges were.not unmindful of the various considerations. Their only criterion was in regard to the music and its adaptability to the purpose of dancing. It is the student's privilege and duty at all times to express his approval of or aversion to any matter affecting student activities. Such is construction and advancement. The easiest. arid most effective manner of voicing any sentiments is through the Student Opinion department of the Messenger. The third grade is busy with the study of the Northwest 5Coast Indians In. this\ connection they are planning an assembly in which they will discuss the Indian totem, ans wering questions in regard to the history, the use and the manufacturing of totem poles. In preparation for this assembly, they are making totems in their art classes which will be used to illustrate the points of their discussion. Both large and small totems are being made. The larger ones are being constructed by the group and the smaller ones by individuals. Each child has the liberty to make his own pattern. The ancient sacrificial shrines will be constructed from haevy cardboard paper which they plan to reinforce with wood if necessary. The children are doing their own planinng and painting. The study of the Northwest Coast Indians will be followed by a study of the Ojibway tribes. In this connection the children will have excellent opportunity to take up the topics of camp life, clothing, arts and foods.

I thank you, Verta Templeton. Tomorrow afternoon, immediately preceding the football game, "Bill" Mock, who has been clamoring to get before the public for some time, will deliver a stereoptican lecture on "Smoking Velvet, and what it did for me." Bill is very anxious that every male student in school be present. Faculty members answering to the nomenclature of "hombre" or men are urged to attend. Above photos show "Bill' 'in action, during two of his recent addresses. HOW DO THE U. OF W. STUDENTS FEEL? I Dr. Suzzallo is still President Henry Suzzallo to the majority of students at the University of Washington, according to an Editorial in the TJ. of "W. Daily. It is generally discussed on the University campus that whosoever fills the vacancy as head of the Washington school cannot expect any but strained relations, with those people that he will come in contact-with. U. of W. students are unable to see any plausible reason for the dismissal of Dr. Suzzallo. According to the Daily, the president to be will arrive at his post under a cloud. Just how long this cloud will hang over him depends upon his attitude towards the students and the amount of real service he renders for the school. If he is to overcome that obstacle in the eyes of the student body, he must do so by some worthwhile service to the University. Until such service is accomplished the students will hold aloof. Some people possibly harbor the idea that the controversy concerning the dismissal of President Suzzallo which is being indulged in. so promiscuously is worse than useless. This is partly true, but anything so significant as the ousting of a nationally known, highly efficient, well liked university president, is something that is not forgotten in a single day, At the regular assembly, .Tuesday, October 12, Harrison Raymond, well-known Bellingham tenor and member" of the Music department of the Bellingham Normal, accompanied ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 15 - Page 3 ---------- ;^'S^0ffi^ipiH ^ SHM lt;^NST ra wmuiMmiwmmiininmptanfflwiiiuiMiiu«o»MM CHENEY, ELLENSBURG •Vj':-3f ^l:3ff2 VIKINGS LOSE IN OPENING CONTEST T05T. Coas/ Conference Grid Carries Scenes of Several Upsets Lacey Irishmen Take Initial Game by One Point Margin, When Try for Goal Fails. SCORE IS 14-13 Winning Goal Made as Lady Luck Smiles on Shamrocks and Kick Bounces Across. Failing in the try for a single point after the touchdown! Thereby hangs the tale. In one of the hardest fought battles ever seen on Waldo Field, a fighting band of Vikings fell before the tricks of a wily group "of Irishmen from St. Martin's. Taking quick advantage of the breaks of the game the men from Lacey slipped over two: touchdowns and converted the goals, enough to win 14-13.„ "Singularly enough, the gods of luck who allowed the Laceyites to smother Boyd Staggs' attempt to convert the goaj after the Vikings had forced a second touchdown in the last two minutes of play, favored the Irish in their like attempt. Just before the end- of the first half, Johannes, fleetest of the fleet St. Martin's team, raced seventy yards to a touchdown on a criss- gt;cross end run, aided by. a perfect interference. Then the'above mentioned tricks of chance aided the. Shamrocks. Ralkowski, who attempted to convert, with the whole Viking line charging down on him, sent off a break kick which uncertainty spun towards the crossbar, hit it squarely, bounced up, hesitated and toppled over. The. St. Martin's team was a surprise to everyone. They were far stronger than any aggregation they had previouly put out Although lighter than the Vikings they were faster and they did not fumble, a factor which contributed largely to the Normal's reverses. The Irish backfield was fast as greased-lightning. -;"-•"•;.; That the Vikings lost the game was due largely to the fact that this was their first game. Seymour bore'the brunt of the Viking, attack. The big fullback bucked through the St. Martin's line almost at will. Odell and Clarke made long yardage on end runs. On the line, Wanamaker and Shelton were towers of strength. A large crowd of fans braved the threatening skies to view the struggle. The field was soggy and rain fell throughout the last half, which slowed the game considerably. A raging squad of Vikings started the last half. The Normal showed ability to gain but could not score. Clarke replaced Stickney at half and made good yardage on end runs. A long pass to Boyd Staggs on a shoe string* play netted 60 yards but the Vikings were offside so the gain was turned to a 5-yard penalty. With the; opening of the final-canto, Bellingham redoubled their efforts and drove St. Martin's under the shadow of their goal posts. Here they heroically held, and quickly punted out of danger. Again, the Vikings renewed -their march, Seymour carrying the brunt of the attack. St. Martin's could not hold, and Seymour carried over the second touchdown. Staggs attempt to convert was blocked. The Vikings made one last desperate effort to score. With but a few seconds left Odell attempted a field goal. The kick was wild and the game ended before the ball was put in play. St. Martin's was the victor by the close margin of one point. Several upsets • occurred lt;iri the Coast Conference football games last Saturday. The Washington Huskies overcame that Oregon jinx by defeating them 23-9. ; The Golden Bears of California fell down before St. Mary's to the tune of 26 to 7. This defeat is the worst setback the Bears have suffered in years. Stanford barely defeated the Olympic Club 7 to 3. Idaho defeated Montana 27-12 and U. S. C. scored a 16 to 7 victory over Washington State. "Cowboy" Smith, St. Mary's halfback, figured considerably in California's defeat. He made two long spectacular runs which netted touchdowns, one of them for 80 yards, and the other for 55. It seemed as though nothing could stop that St. Mary's eleven. "Pop" Warner went to Palo Alto to watch U. S. C. take the breaks from Washington State, while his own Cards barely defeated the Olympic Culb 7-3. A touchdown in the last few minutes of play won for Stanford." California overwhelmed the Olympic Club 32 to 0 a week ago. Although the Washington State Cougars lost, they gave the Trojans a fight for their lives. Twice, the U. S. C. eleven was within a few feet of a touchdown. The Trojans tried to plough through the lighter eleven, but failed. The Cougars displayed fight and stamina. There were two neatly tossed passes that won the game for the Trojans, and only in this department of the game did they excel. As was expected, Idaho gave Montana the short end of the score by drubbing them 27-12. Idaho made all their 27 points in the first three quarters- and in the final period, Montana threatened by putting over both of their touchdowns. ENTHUSIASM SHOWN IN WOMEN'S SPORTS First Turnout for Soccer, Volleyball, Hockey Taken Part in by Many Women. 33 W. A. A. HIKERS VISIT LOST LAKE Thirty-three members of the W. A. A. hiked to Lost Lake last Saturday October 9. They left on the 8 o'clock interurban and arrived at the lake at eleven. Lunch was enjoyed in a beautiful woods on the shore of the lake. After lunch, they 'made -the return, -trip to Bellingham, arriving in time for the football game. A great deal of enthusiasm is being shown in the turnouts for volley ball,^ hockey and soccer. Soccer is having its initial tryout in this school and judging from the attendance and spirit shown at the first meeting Monday evening, it promises to be a favorite. Soccer is an English game and its popularity is sweeping all over the United States, as an ideal sport for the college woman. The boy's baseball field, which parallels the football field, will be used for this sport and hereafter our husky heroes of the gridiron will have some lively competition alongside. The first turnout for soccer was held Monday at 3 o'clock, in the big gynu -About thirty-six were present and Miss Keller talked about the game, discussing equipment, and fundamentals. Managers were chosen for the Freshmen and Sophomore teams. Their duties will be to assist the coach in looking after equipment and in taking roll, also to assist in managing the inter-class games. Owing to the popularity of this game, it was necessary to divide the soccer turnouts into two sections, the second group meeting Tuesday night at 4 o'clock. Hockey, a sport which was very popular last year, is also receiving a great deal of support. Volley ball turnout was held Tuesday at 4 o'clock. This game has always been a popular one with college women. These three sports offer to every girl a chance to turn out for some form of recreation between the hours of 4 to 5 every day. Points will be given to all girls making first, second or- third teams. Those making first teams will be awarded a letter, symbolic of the sport, by the Student's Association. A "W" sweater %vill be given to girls making five first team squads. Ellensbur g and Cheney Powerful in First Games At tackle, Wanamaker played a heady game, breaking up many of the Irish plays, until kicked in the nose by a St. Martin's player. As Bill has no "Jack Dempsey" nose he will probably be in the line-up Saturday. jiwiiQininiiniinniiJiiiHiiOTiwniiiinHnMiiiiiininiHiiiintfflinHniuniiimuiiiiKnnwiimraiimiHiiuninniiiiiiiniuniiiiuoi Jack On The Sport stalk nunnHHiuiMinrnmiiiHtniiKiiiiunnnmuinit^ The game Saturday with St. Martin's was certainly a hard one to lose, especially when we were hoping for an undefeated season.

Although they were ragged at times, they showed power and endurance and great offensive ability, and look worthy of holding the Tri-Normal championship. . Ellensburg is but two weeks away, while Cheney comes a week later. Both of these have strong teams, with Ellensburg having the edge. Cheney has a schedule tough enough to make even the most stalwart weep, having already met Gonzaga and Whitman, and having the College of Idaho, W. S. C. Frosh, Idaho Frosh and Ellensburg and Bellingham Normals on the program for the rest of the season. Ellensburg made a good start last Saturday by taking the Idaho Frosh into camp, 7-0. The Eastern Washington school looks like a strong team for the first time in many years. Something was the matter with our cheering last Saturday. Enough students were on hand, and the yell leaders^ were ready, but the proper spirit, pep and enthusiasm were.absent. Profit by the experience students, and lets have some real cheering at the Seattle College game on Waldo Field tomorrow. The year of 1926 in sports is about over. Only football remains to hold the attention of the sporting public.

The outstanding leadership of the American Red Cross in developing water rescue, swimming, and first aid, the first two of- which are closely akin to athletic accomplishments, has made such instruction generally received in higher educational institutions. Every year the Red Cross has its Membership Roll Call, to be held from November 11 to November 25 this year, this being an invitation to become identified through membership, with all that the Red Cross does.

Lucky Fifteen to Set Sail • ^ — — • • II W 1 • • •• «• This week takes us into a student problem, namely, of working one's way through school. Education:—and education at any cost seems to be the very latest creed for applicants in this field. Does outside work lower scholastic standards? In Normal schools, special colleges or universities, and such schools of purpose,—Apparently not... Available statistics show that over one-sixth of the student bodies of this school and another Normal in this state are engaged in outside work. And it is this sixth who are carrying a larger load of class-hours than the average of the non-working group. More students are working than ever before, figures show us. Of course all types of jobs are held and work done at all hours, ranging up to as many as fifty per "week. College men will work on dishes and on street cars, but they refuse to work on commissions. At least, most of them who apply for positions through deans' offices steer clear of jobs which do not guarantee a salary. W. S. N. S. And what is'happening in state schools this week-end? All of them are giving mixers or informals depicting the St. Valentine idea. Cheney Normal is putting on a school-wide auction, using as its basis the losi-and-found department. Washington Stale College begins its semester with the announcement of. pledging 34 into thirteen fraternities. That the U. of Washington shell-pullers will stop at the U. of Wisconsin for a crew race there as they journey east for Poughkeepsie this year, was the plan finally agreed on by the athletic departments of the two schools this week. Ellensburg Normal has sent its glee club on a short road trip. From the exchanges it appears that every school campus in this state is deeply covered tsith snow. W. S. N. S.— But co-eds in Australia don't rate so high! Co-eds in universities and colleges of Australia have no social standing with the males that lord over their institutions of higher learnings, so declare N. C. L. Nelson, leader of the debate team of ttt University of Sidney, which is 1at PROSPECTIVE QUEENS LISTED Stringing 2000 Hearts Has Been Gigantic Task of Decorating Committee; New Hearts for Old. Cupid will crown the Queen of Hearts at the freshman party tonight at 9:30 in the big gym. Everything is in readiness to begin promptly at 8:30. It is likely that the queen and her two attendants are privately bowing and scraping before their pier glasses so that they will carry off the evening with royal grace and charm. 2000 Hearts The decorations are arranged so that it will take but a short time to hang them up. If you think its been fun to string 2000 hearts you should have loaned your able as-sisthance. Anyhow, after seeing so many hearts, the decorating committee heartily hopes that no human ones will be exchanged for those on the strings. Theresa Hill Dances Miss Theresa Hill will do a feature dance immediately following the coronation. There is also another feature in the evening's program, but this can be put along with the rest of your precious po-sessions. Save an oblong place in your memory or scrap book. You will have to keep uppermost in your mind that now your scrap book must be kept in a cool place. Doing this will constantly refresh your over-stored brain of the freshman party and we hope that it will Be a very treasured memory indeed. Don't forget that the dance begins at 8:30. Come. New hearts for old! PROGRAM IS NOVEL W. A. A. Gives a Very Successful Program for Benefit of Lodge; Casts for Plays Well Chosen. On Wednesday evening, February 13, the W. A. A. gave a student-faculty program for the benefit of Viqueen Lodge. Helen Helland was general chairman, Margaret Shep-present in the middle of its Amer-\pard was in charge of the plays, ican tour. f*1"1 R e b a M o o r e directed the club yDon't miss the boat! The girls' outing trip to Sinclair island, to the W. A. A. lodge, will begin at 7:30 Friday morning, February 21, when fifteen lucky girls will meet at the dock to leave for Sinclair .island and Viqueen lodge, where they will spend Friday and Saturday, coming back Saturday night on the boat. The outing will cost each person $2.00; a dollar for a round trip ticket, and the other dollar for eats." Any of the girls in school may go, but they must be prompt in sighing up on the bulletin board Monday morning as the lodge can only accommodate fifteen girls overnight. The first fifteen to sign will make up the party. The committee has planned to plant trees, make a gravel walk and work on the lodge in general, besides taking care of the recreation part of the program. ZELLNER PERFORMS "Protean Artist" Gives Fascinating Performance, smpersonates Many Famous Historical Characters. "In classes the front of the room is separated from the rear by a bar or rail," Mr. Nelson explains, "and co-eds sit in the front leaving the back of the room for the men." Neither do the men pay any attention to the college women on the campus and it is seldom that a college man would think of "dating" a college girl of having anything to do with her in a social way, Nelson continued. "Women's place is in the home," is Nelson's opinion, and he evidently practices what he preaches for he was the only one of the trio of forensic stars who appeared on the debate platform that was engaged.

W. Zellner portrayed a number of dramatic character studies. Perhaps the dramatic impersonations that awarded the great protean artist the most applause, were those of biblical characters and heroes of the civil war times, although the "lighter studies of- humorous characters afforded much amusement. Characters Live Again By delicate control of his facial muscles, voice change, lighting effects and his fine costumes, he was able to make the famous old characters of history live once more for us. The much admired General Robert E. Lee was almost miraculously impersonated by Zellner. In a voice suitable to the character he pictured for us General Lee talking over the terms of surrender to his men, in which the audience felt the grief and disappointment that Leer himself, felt. General Ulysses Grant found a realistic expression in Zellner, and John Brown and Benedict Arnold "came to life," fantastically speaking, in Zellner's portrayal of. them. Moses Portrayed The audience went "back with Zellner in fancy" to biblical times, when Moses was enacted with all the fire and majesty that we would expect in him.

Murray is the play which the Moroni Olsen players are presenting in the auditorium on Tuesday, February 19, at 8:15. Byron Kay Foulger, who directed the company's production of "Expressing Willie," will also be in charge of the presentation of this Irish folk tragedy. Moroni Olsen, appearing for the first time this season, plays the role of Owen Keegan, the great, vigorous Munster farmer. This role is especially adapted to Olsen from the standpoint of build, appearance and character. Play is Folk Tragedy , Owen Keegan, marries Nance Desmond, disregarding the jealous fears of his spinster daughter Ellen, and the fact that his son, Michael, is also a rival. The inevitable conclusion that middle age cannot successfully mate with youth brings about the crumbling of Owen's determination and strength, leaving him a broken old man seeking his final refuge in religion. The cast for the play is as follows: Owen Keegan, farmer..Moroni Olsen Ellen, his daughter Janet Young Michael, his son..lAddison Richards Morgan, his brother Joseph H. Williams Mrs. Desmond Leora Thatcher Nance, her daughter. Dorothy. Adams Tom Furlong Byron Kay Foulger Molly Hurley Lois Hunt GUDMUNSON PLEADS FOR "WHOOPEE" COPY Editor Asks for Contributions from Everyone; Young and Old, Short and Tall, Bright and Dumb were a fW of the interesting features of t\e play. \ Valentines Come to Life The student act in which valentines come to life was very picturesque. This scene derived its special interest fiom the usual setting and the beauts of its costumes. "Hearts and Flowers," a play directed by Victor ,H. Hoppe, was perhaps the best part of the program. Herbert Ruckmick, the gum-chewing office boy, Polly Leanard, the understanding office girl, and Mr. Hoppe, the Jewish proprietor of the shop were the outstanding people in the cast. \ The pirate dance by the W. A. A. advisors, Kathleen Skalley, Helen Dozier and Grace Sullivan; a clog dance by the W. A. A. girls, and the true and false twins, \Bill Reeves and Carlyle Jones, were other interesting parts of the program. n L That Spain will accept the Kellogg pact renouncing war as an instrument of national policy in view of its ratification at Washington without Monroe Doctrine reservations, is believed in the best informed circles. South American opposition is vanishing, and a change of heart on the part of Chile is' especially noticeable. cellent presentation. The fine lighting effects during the performance of the Apostle Peter made the character exceedingly realistic. The lighter sketches of Mark Twain and one of that humorist's characters, Huckleberry Finn, displayed his! ability to represent comic characters. A study of an old German woman, over-burdened with household cares, and Abe Martin, merited many laughs and gave conclusive proof of Zellner's popularity here.

Not so bad, these last few lecturers we've heard at assembly. We've tried to' write this column during assembly hour on a couple of occasions, but each time the speaker proved too interesting and we had to stop and listen.

Finley Frieda Arbuckle After one of these lectures we heard two freshmen debate rather heatedly about a point the speaker [ had made during his talk. How many years has it been since a Normal instructor stimulated sufficient interest in a subject among his students to lead them to even think of it outside of class. Genevieve Warren Roy Sundstrom "Happiness is but a myth" said Thomas A. Edison in his birthday interview, February eleventh.."! have never met a happy person." Coming from an octogenarian, this statement is almost a tragedy, on first consideration, but further, one can realize that perhaps there is some truth in the statement. All persons are happy to a certain extent, but Mr. Edison is evidently referring to complete happintss. -A normal person is never completely happy, for to be happy means to be satisfied. Extreme types are found only in asylums provided for them, so how could Mr. Edison expect to find them in a free state of activity. ' . Animals and organisms may be completely happy, but man has a soul; and so in compensation must endure moods, emotions, sensations; he must be a subject of expression; he must withstand temptations and answer for his misdeeds to the pricking of his conscience.

FINLEY We have among us this quarter eight young men from the Philippine Islands who are studying at the Normal school so that they can go back to the islands and obtain positions as supervisors and critic teachers. Most of them are already teachers, and one has taught in the Philippine Islands for seven years.

Mr. Edison is unfortunate in not knowing happiness. He has many things that some of us would almost sell our souls to possess: fame, genius, wealth—everyihing, but the happiness he denies. —C. M. Agitation has begun, for two types of colleges, one for the "Scholar" and one for the "Gentleman'. It is pertinent to ask, " T o which class do we belong?" - We are printing a very pointed Student Opinion this week; one which we'd advise you to read and think about. Unfortunately, it did not come into our hands in time to go in last week's paper, but though it is not as timely now, it still supplies ample food for thought—and we hope for action. That such a condition should exist at B. S. N. S. is deplorable—and something should be done about it at once.

Now this is not right. What we want is more ice and then the Student's Association can supply the Student Body with ice skates. If this, is not feasible, we would like a little more sand. —S. T . BOOK REVIEW ENOUGH ROPE. Poems by Doro- ;:thy Parker. Published by Boni and Liveright: New York (1926). I t seems to be the tendency of a number of modern poets to disguise their philosophy with poetry—if one can be so bold as to use that term— of a decidedly sardonic strain. In •this volume by Dorothy Parker, she has certainly developed an unusual and sometimes almost oriental philosophy. -Her attitude is that of one who shrugs his shoulders at life and is willing to take things in order of their" approach. At times, her verse is indicative of some deep hurt Jwhich has to all appearances left ;her^ a; confirmed cynic. Her "poet- ; ry" is hard-boiled—but interesting. \ £; There is an underlying current of | s a t i r e ttooughout the volume, and MMIss • Parker's thoughts are steeped V^.^ittxxt^J-i'Iiig' majority of i h er disappointment in love—most di-vertingly. Her general style is to write, a beautiful poem and add a climax of rank slices of cynicism. Some of her verse is exquisite, but it is always capped with that almost heart-breaking, bitter touch. Her poetry is possessed with a feeling that is conducive to sympathy, but just as that sympathy is ready to overflow, it is shrugged away and a feeling of irritation is left. Her entire feelings are~ summed up adequately in one of her shorter poems "Resume:" Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; :, And drugs cause cramp. , Guns aren't lawful; ' Npbses give; Gas smeu^ iawfiU; . ' C • Y We've noticed that students at B. S. N. S. seem to be neglecting this valuable educational institution. It-is not that bull fests do not exist— they do—but they are not properly utilized. An ideal class in any course should, it seems to us, be merely an organized bull fest about the subject matter of that course—not too well organized either. The instructor who delivers dogmatic lectures is not doing his duty by his chai-ges when he stifles discussion and plows along on a path that many students do not need to follows, others do not wish to follow and still others are incapable of following. Rather, the class should be a forum where views and ideas can be adjusted through the discussion of those noints about which students have misconceptions or differences of opinion. The subject matter to be covered in the course can be indicated to the students by means of an outline and .the necessary information can be obtained by reading; it is only those matters that are debatable or difficult which should concern the class as a-whole. The - instructor who attempts to predigest every phase of a subject and then serve it up to his students in a series of easy lectures is in reality robbing them. Robbing them of class time which might be better spent in other ways, robbing them of an incentive to study and robbing them of freedom of thought. And quite often, the class, if it be permitted, will evolve a better idea or interpretation than the instructor has done. But, of course, there are factors that make this sort of thing impractical— there must be—it is so seldom done. We won't concern ourselves with these. What we want to know is: Why is there so little of the obvious alternative, the discussion group among students? The average Normal student shuts his class work away into a sort of logic-tight compartment of the mind during his leisure hours, never thinking to relate it to any of his other activities and never considering ' the additional effort that is necessitated by this failure to supplement his own information with that of his associates. And so the bull fest is wasted. Sad, what? the -United States, but also take up some higher work with the view to training teachers and leaders. Two of the Filipino students here are also . graduates of the University of the Philippines, and one of them aspires to take a degree from Columbia University after graduating here. Large Percentage Students Two years ago was the first time any Filipino student had ever attended the Normal. Last year there were two students and this year there are eight. Also at the state university in Seattle there are over fifty students, and at Washington State College there are 56. All of the students here are self-supporting on money they have saved up from teacher's salaries or other sources, and keep house ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 February 15 - Page 3 ---------- aaBilfflN^ ¥0m Another game now goes under the caption of "Too Bad." The game last- week with ^Ellensburg in the Fairhaven gym was one of the closest 'contests of the season. And it really Was loo bad thai the Vikings could not have come out on top. Much as we dislike to do it, we must concede that our enemies have a very good team. The Jayvees are still going strong. They won their start against the Mount Vernon Junior College in the preliminary mix of the evening of the Ellensburg game. This win over the Mount Vernon quintet came as the second victory in as many days. This is the second win over the Milkmaids. Starting today at one o'clock the Viking hoop squad will make a tour .of the western part of the stale, playing the (J. of W. Frosh and the St. Martinh Rangers. •* * * * The Vikings will have their hands fnll when dealing with the Frosh, hut the Rangers are counted on as more or less a weaker team and the locals should win rather handily. Zeke McClurken, flashy varsity forward,' has built up a real fast hoop aggregation in the Normal Training school. In the present city school league the little mentor has Won four and lost only two contests. However, he has some hard games on tap and it will be interesting to see just how his Junior Viking charges make out this season. It has been rumored that the president of the Men's club tried to make the dancers forget about the cold weather by installing Florida palms and Mojave desert cactus plants in the big hall during the club's informal last Friday night. How about it Mr. Geri? * * * * Believe us! All you lovers of indoor sports, it Was a real, hot dance. # * * * The only tiling that was missing from the dance was the varsity basketball squad. With especial reference to Dixon and McLaughlin. "Mac said he had. to get in shape to meet his former "Chief" on Saturday night. The Chief is none other than Dick Munson, Ballard High basketball coach, and the man who called the fouls in the last mix with Ellensburg. Mac the "Warrior" and the Chief had a good round following the game. BIOGRAPHY Johnny Dixon, who comes here from Everett, is playing his first season on the Viking Varsity quintet. He may be seen holding forth ha. the center ring and making his opponents keep hopping if they expect to get anywhere in any contest that Johnny is mixed up in. The Viking center is fast and handles the ball well, and is a good shot from any place inside the foul line. Before the season started, Johnny was not at all a well man, and started the season physically handicapped. For the first part of the schedule he played superbly, but of late he has been falling down a little. The long training grind seems to be telling on him. However, with this year's experience. to back him up, Johnny should be very hard to hold down next season. Great things are expected from the lad from the Seagull town.

Thus read the score board at the end of the Viking-Wild Cat basketball game Saturday evening on the Fairhaven floor.

Students to Explore Newspaper Plant Miss Hilda Rosene of the science department, met with her nature study class last Thursday night about nine o'clock on the Normal campus, for elementary star study. The night was clear and cold, a beautiful night for studying the constellations. To get a better view of the heavens, the class decided to go up on Sehome, and they began their climb directly behind the Normal school, a grade that is almost straight up. However, the ascent was successfully made and the members of the group were awarded for their efforts when they reached the top of Sehome and saw the city stretched out below them in all its brightness with the stars overhead in glorious display. The star study was most successful; the class not even noticing their cold toes and fingers in their interest as Miss Rosene pointed out one constellation after another. Old Students Joint Group Five students who enjoyed the course last quarter, found enjoyment in going with this class for a few more pointers on star study, thus making a total of about forty in the group. EDENS HALL Margaret Hill and Viola Poyhen-en were hostesses at a charming Valentine tea in the drawing room of Edens Hall Sunday evening. The guests were Marietta Bergeron, Louisette Bergeron, Lydia Doell, Elizabeth Ellis, Jovita Purkey, Marian Richardson, Arlene Latten, Alice Babcock, Ethel Abrama, Florence Johnson and the hostesses, Margaret Hill and Viola Poyhenen. A delightful christening party in honor of Zuloaca Bam Popo was held in room 101 Saturday evening with Marion Snyder as hostess. Winifred Bowles officiated as master of ceremonies, Miss Florence Johnson as godmother, and Marion Snyder as godfather. Those present at the christening were Peggy Pull-ar, Grace Osborne, Winifred Bowles, Margaret Hill, Viola Poyhenen, Margaret Lee, Edith Philbrick, Florence Johnson and Marion Snyder. (Zuloaca Bam Popo is a very charming member of the feline species of animals, but is a static rather than a dynamic individual). Winter Informal March 2 Elaborate preparations are being made for the Winter Informal dance given by the girls at Edens Hall March 2. The decorations will center about Irish customs and ideas with the blarney stone occu- | pying an important position. The committees for the dance, which' have been announced by the social chairman. Virginia Schmidt, are: decorations, Helen Sheckles, chairman, Marion Snyder, Edna Working; Winifred Bowles and Jessie Grieves; program, Dorothy Halbert, chairman, Helen Stine; music, Elizabeth Gable; feature, Aileen Arland; refreshments, Ortha Young, chairman, Lillian Nesheim, Phyllis Kane; clean up, Margaret Lee, chairman, Claire Wilson, Alice Babcock, Harriet Sanford and Margaret Solum. In order to see how world information is spread and to make a job analysis of a publishing company from the editor down through every department, about 70 pupils from th elndustrial Arts lc class of this school will visit the different departments of the Bellingham Publishing Company Monday and Tuesday afternoons between 2 and 3:30. Mr. H. C. Ruckmick, chairman of the Industrial Arts department, says that this visit has been arranged in connection with the study being taken up by his department at the present time. The class has studied parchment. work and illumination and are now studying mechanical processes. Special groups have been picked to concentrate on separate departments, Mr. Ruckmick says, for which they will be asked to make a complete report. The journalism class, under the "direction of H. E. Fowler, chairman of the English department, will also visit the publishing company Monday with the Industrial Arts group. o Announcement has been received here of the marriage of Miss Dorothy Proud, a graduate of the Normal school, to Mr. Hal L.- Speer, which took place in Tacoma recently. Mrs. Speer is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Proud of Ana-cortes. CHILDREN'S PAPER VIKING JR.

XXDC-NO.29 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON CLASS CUTS CHILD ARTISTS LITTLE SYMPHONY AND YE DIARY —Ray Craft ••• i ii • The attendance committee met last week to "consider and clear up" last quarter's absences from class, and, according to the Viking, the "considering and clearing up" consisted of penalizing thirty students for class cuts. The loss to some students ranged as high as seven credits. UTILE SYMPHONY W E R T WEI BE HELD ON TUESDAY Normal School Auditorium to be Scene of Performance by Forty- Eight Musicians of True Ability. CONCERT BEGINS AT 8:20 According to the rules, six unex-cused absences from a single class, or fifteen from classes scattered over different courses means a cut of one credit. In our experience, we know of two excuses that will be accepted. One is illness, and the other is death. The average value of an individual's time which he spends in school is well over two hundred dollars a quarter. Since most people carry a load of around fifteen hours, an .hour of school credit is worth fifteen dollars. Consequently, for every lecture hour that the unfortunate student has missed, he is penalized from one to three dollars, whieh seems—well—just a little Jilgh. It doesn't seem to matter to the •committee whether he was using .his stolen time to catch up with his tennis, or was shovelling coal in order to meet the payments on the Tent. And there are we believe, justifiable reasons for missing a class now and then. Wouldn't it be wise, in a democratic institution like ours, for the .faculty to invite student opinion and attempt to make some reasonable adjustments? Perhaps it would be possible to write a little flexibility into what appears new to be an unpopular measure. (And, confidentially, we ''are all for its being done immediately. We have lost title to two of our credits already, and as far as this quarter is concerned, something tells us that we are a marked man). -W. S. N. S. A Well Balanced and Interesting Program Containing Many Gems of Composition has been Arranged "THE FAMILY" TO BE TOPIC DISCUSSED BY FACULTY AT CHURCH If you haven't - seen the recent issue of the Junior Viking, magazine of the training school, borrow a copy from one of the student teachers and browse through it. You will be amazed at the original pieces these small children write when encouraged to create something beautiful. For example, here is a little poem composed by an eight-year-old training school child. THE FOG The fog • •• / throws its flimsy, pretty white drapery over the town. It is pretty, pretty, pretty, So softly it comes, So softly it goes. Over meadow, through forests, All the World over it refreshes. Then the sun comes at last And sends it on its way. — B E T T Y SOLLIBAKKE W. S. N. S.- Normal people should crowd the auditorium next week when the Bellingham Little Symphony., appears in concert, not only to give Harold B. Smith the support his organization deserves but to enjoy a real musical treat. Musicians will tell you that Mr. Smith is developing a remarkably fine concert orchestra, while students who attended the recitals last year will assure you, despite the fact that most of us are undeveloped in music appreciation, that when good music is played as it ought to be played, we can attend en masse and enjoy it. -W. S. N. S. Next Tuesday evening, February 11, at 8:20, will herald the second concert of Bellingham's Little Symphony. The concert will be held in the Normal Auditorium and will be presented by 48. talented and well trained musicians. Nine of this number are Normal students, namely: Charles Bensen, Ethel Boynton, Fay Kelly, Helen Amunds, Beryl Bailey, Paul Anson, Pauline Larkin, Clarence Thue, and Muriel Myhre. The program will open with the famous overture to "Der Freisctiutz", by Weber. It is a highly dramatic work, full of many beautiful melodies. The horn duet in the first part is one of the most famous for this instrument, and will be recognized by many for it has been used as a hymn tune for years. The part of the overture is a vivace movement climaxed by a thrilling coda based on the theme of Agatha's Song of Joy of the opera. Pure Orchestration The second number is Schubert's most famous and best loved Symphony in B Minor called "The Unfinished Symphony". This work, so full of pathos and tenderness, was found in a pile of manuscripts after his death. It represents one possible exception, absolutely the highest level he reached in his very short career. The first movement begins with a mysterious melody in the bass, forshadowing the main theme which is heard on the oboe and clarinet, accompanied by a quivering string figure. The second theme is played first on the cellos then taken up by the violins and developed into a fine climax. With all its perfect melody and the softest and purest orchestration, the movement is full of romatic bursts, as if it were the essence of legendary poetry. The Andante begins more quietly but in the same vein and the second melody, sung by the clarinet and then the oboe, is so simple that one wonders where the charm lies. The secret must be in the accompanying rhythm and the exquisite harmonic changes. Mendelssohn did not write any operas, but his incidental music to "The Midsummer Nights Dream", by Shakespeare, ranks him as a dramatic composer of unusual merit. Three movements from this cycle will be played. The Intermezzo usually played at the end of the second act seems to express the conflict of emotions in Hermia's heart. Toward the end the theme abruptly changes to the semi-comic measures of the Clown's march which is played by the bassoons. The second movement is the Nocturne, whose opening theme is one of the most beautiful of all uses of the French Several of the faculty will be speakers at -the Congregational Church family clinic which was opened yesterday and will meet every Thursday evening, until May 22. Last night's • faculty speaker was W. J. Marquis who, with Frank Al-lyn, spoke on "The Father's Obligation to the Family." Among the others who will speak in the future are Miss Emma Erick-son, Dr. Irving Miller, Mrs. H. C. Philippi, Victor H. Hoppe, Herbert E. Fowler, President C. H. Fisher, and Pelagius Williams. In all of the discussions the topic is the obligation of certain individuals or social groups to the family. — o 54 UPPER DIVISION STUDENTS ORGANIZE Dick Louis Is Elected President; Olson, Young, and Cotland Other Officers Selected Last Tuesday. POPULAR SOPRANO TO APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY ON TUESDAY MORNING (Continued on Page Four) The upper division group including Juniors, and Seniors, met last Tuesday for the purpose of organization. The group has been inactive for some time, due mainly to lack of interest on the part of the students. Same years ago attempt to organize the upper division students was sponsored by Dr. Irving E. Miller, who is faculty advisor to the class, but the group as a whole was not back of the movement and so the project was abandoned. Recently, however, a need has been felt among the Juniors and Seniors for organization, which resulted in the meeting Tuesday, January 4. There are now fifty-four upper division students in school. Dick Louis has been elected president; Grace Olson, vice president; Frances Young, secretary; and Eva Cat-land, representative to the Board of Control. Further plans for organization are now being made. o— STUDENTS DISCUSS INTERESTING TOPIC MAURICE G. HINDUS JV/IATJRICE G. HINDUS is author, orator and traveler, who is qualified as an expert in his discussions of conditions in Russia. Two years ago he toured Russia, traveling on horseback and working with the peasants to learn from them directly'just how they reacted to the revolution, the Soviet government, and America. His lectures are truly prophetic revelations. He visited Russia, Siberia, Japan and China during 1928, and Russia for the sixth time since the Revolution in 1929. Last Sunday evening at the Student Forum the topic discussed was "Are student evaluations of faculty members a fair indication of their value as teachers?" Perhaps the reason this topic came to the minds of the program committee was because of the recent questionaire for evaluating faculty members passed out to students at the University of Washington. The immaturity and prejudice of student judgment was constantly emphasized. The various students expressed themselves as not being willing to accept the opinioins of other students in even a majority of cases. The latter half of the meeting drifted into a discussion of how prospective teachers can conduct themselves so that their personality will have a good effect upon the children they teach.

From rumors and the extensive plans that have been made and carried out, the dance should make-history in the social events at the dormitory. An appropriate Valentine idea has been assumed and just in view of that fact, the sixty couples who plan to attend, are promised a glorious time. Undoubtedly there is a little disappointment among the rest of the girls of this institution because they are unable to attend, but they bear their disappointment willingly and heartily wish the girls of the Hall the very best of success in their Informal. J U N I O R V I K I N G R E C E I V E S P R A I SE Our rival publication, the Junior Viking, which is published in the Training school, is undoubtedly among the finest graded school publications on the Coast. The mimeographed magazine form in which it was published contains some articles that are really amazing in their literary'style. A few selections .'of poetry written about the fog by the youngsters in the training department actually were runner-ups with Carl Sandburg. Tne_ Northwest Viking wishes at this time to congratulate the editor find .staff .upon editing the Junior Viking in such an admirable and truly professional style. .••.,. Every student here, whether he plans to enter the Training School as a student teacher or not, should borrow a copy of the magazine and look it over.; It is well worth your time. - President C. H. Fisher started something when he read extracts from the book "The Student Speaks Out' to us in an assembly and commented upon it. The reverberations are still being heard. It has affected the faculty in a variety of ways. One remarked to his classes: "That was a wonderful speech our president made in assembly, and I told him so." .Another spends the whole class hour the following day defending the lecture- method. Absolutely hopeless! A third tries out discussion for one day, on entirely new material of which the students know nothing, and then states: "It doesn't work,^ President Fisher to the contrary, notwithstanding". But some who are already using the Discussion Method of Socialized Recitation successfully do it this way. They lecture on new material they are presenting, allowing perhaps the last few minutes for discussion, or taking up the questions as they arise. In the last case it requires more skill to avoid drifting away from the main point. One teacher goes "clear to the back of the room when students are giving special reports, allows them to dominate the situation (if they can) for the time being,-' and takes part with the students in the discussion of the report. But he never loses control of the situation.' It* the discussion gets to drifting onto side issues he brings it back to the point, and when the allotted time is taken, diverts it to the next topic. It can -be done; it is, being done. And one student aptly remarked, "It isn't the amount of material covered in an hour that counts, it is the amount of thinking done". , You have just heard the Viking Pep Band in another of its extremely popular recitals. You have seen it work in. finished unison, have heard, its perfection of blended harmonies and tempos. Perhaps you have; wonderedat the really remarkable progress this group of. musicians has made, in developing-from a mere number of. quite drdinarily gifted instrumentalists to a smoothly- functioning musical unit. Here's the reason: i A portable photograph in the back seat of a car sings with slight scratching noises. Two boys sit in the front seat.* One is radiant of expression, brimming with eagerness to help. The other is only half comprehensive of what is going on, but conscious and a trifle proud of his own patience. "Listen, kid. D'you hear that? Wait, I'll play 't over". He lifts the needle and sets it back to repeat the strain. "See? I bought two-three o' these records t'show you that trumpet stuff. Think you could work it? . It just goes da-da-a-ad' da-dee . . . . " A single light burns steadily in a small second-story room. The boy sitting up in the, small bed there, with a stub pencil in' his hand and pieces of music-scored paper littered about him, lifts his head, frowning in sharp annoyance as the clock downstairs strikes ; twelve. Then, humming a little to regain his place in the music he is writing, he bends again to his work. The pencil makes tiny rasping noises on the book he utilizes as a desk. He pauses in a moment of perplexity and rubs his tired eyes as he murmurs through a snatch of tune. . "Les see—oh yes—m-m-m—ah-h-" The pencil returns to its rasping . . . . . A group of boys, instruments in hand, are scattered about the stage of,the auditorium. There is a confused sound of shouting mingled with the noises of various tunes played on various instruments. A boy is striving to hand around sheets of pencil scored music. "Listen fellows, jus' a minute. Shall we try this once? Oh—where's uh, uh,—he isn't coming? Gee, and I wanted V try that part I wrote for him.". A* shadow crosses his face and for a moment his voice is weighted with tragic disappointment. "Can't depend on anybody!" "Oh, well prob'ly. he can- make it next time. We'll take this other one and . . . . " gt; Now, do you know who is responsible for the. success of the Pep Band? Think hard. —A. E.

Training School OUR L I T T L E S Y M P H O NY Next Tuesday evening, BellinghamYLittle Symphony orchestra will offer their second concert this year in the Normal auditorium. This orchestra belongs more to Normal than to our city (so it seems to u s ) . Although the large part of the membership is composed of city people, the leader belongs to us as well as several of the musicians. The orchestra, we feel, is as much a part of us and our musical program as any other organization within the institution. It has not only advertised our institution in a commercial way but has given us real musical esteem in the eyes of the townspeople. The orchestra has been having some unusually "stiff" practices lately according to the director, Mr. Harold B. Smith, and this coming entertainment promises to be one of the most finished and delightful programs of the five given by the Symphony. Student tickets will admit to the recital, and it is hoped that our own orchestra will have the same attendance as the famous violinist, Efrem Zimbalist obtained at the First Christian church, recently. MRS. STILL IS VISITOR Mrs. Margaret Still, a former employee of the school, visited here Friday and Saturday of last week. DR. MILLER IS HOST y Last Friday evening Dr. Irving E.

It was stated in one of our classes that whereas men used to smoke to be manly, now women smoke cigarettes to be womanly —and men are quitting them because it is effeminate; however, the men are only going back to pipes and cigars. * * # # Strange, isn't it, that women in their desire to be equal with men must copy their vices. And now we hear men are copying women's vices. Some have taken to marcelling their hair and using make-up. It's a great world, isn't it, and we all of us choose "the worthwhile things of life". Well, don't we? One robin doesn't make a spring, or one flock of crows, but last Thursday on the way to school we saw about a hundred crows winging from the south. When they sighted the buildings at the Normal, they uttered loud caws that sounded like "Here! Here!", and after circling around the campus they, all lit on the peak of the library roof, though whether from literary appreciation or not, I really cannot say. * * * « It is quite interesting to note that just recently a letter addressed ..to "Department of Social Science, Washington State Normal .School", was sent to Bellingham.

The Supers havent had quite as easy a time at it as in former., years,., and., the., play-off promises to be a thriller. NIJORD-NORMAL MEET WILL BE FEBRUARY 24 Swimming turnouts have been good so far this quarter, but several who signed up at the beginning of the season have not been out and since the first meet will be February 24, with the Bellingham Nijord club, everyone is asked to be at the tank for,Thursday night swimming practice. It was a fighting Viking quintet that barely squeezed an extra point out of the scoring melee to win 37- 36, Monday night from Cheney, and then fought their way to a flashy victory, on the following night 43- 28. In a preliminary to the first game at Fairhaven, the Normal Supers dropped a close game to the Anacortes Alumni team 23-24. The contest during the most part of the first half of the first game was only ordinary. The crowd seemed content to sit back and let things take their own course, after having quite a little excitement provided by the preliminary fray. They occasionally showed signs of tenseness, but it is doubtful if anything short of the unusual could have moved them. It was a careful Viking team that was checking close and taking no chances, but patiently waiting for the breaks. It was. a. fast Cheney team that was.playing likewise. A foul by Thorsen, and a field goal by Peterson placed the score at .15-12 just as-the half ended, in favor of, ijhe Bellingham team. The tall red lieam'began sinking! them,, so did the blue, and. the scoredsto£|d::^2-21..; Cheney J^ickly. overtook the lead and then ran it up to 23-29. They began, to stall with five'minutes left. It was a poor stall-and was broken up. Then everybody scored, and the Crimson held a .34-28 .lead. Some more stalling, arid the game became rough. One ";by one, four Cheney players left the contest with four personal fouls, and with these fouls despite the failure of the winners to make a good share of, them, also went victory.

M. C. A. nve, the Normal Super- Varsity definitely eliminated itself from any chance to cop first place in the city league race. The contest, which was played at the Y, February 5, ended with the Hilltoppers on the short end of a 31 to 22 score. Trailing during the opening minutes of play the "Y" spurted, and baskets by McBeath and De Boer gave them a 1 4to 13 lead at half time. The Vikings failed to get going the second half and the "Y" steadily crept ahead to take a lead, which they held until the end of the game: Clint McBeath Jr., was high-point man of the game with twelve markers, while Gaither and Sanders accounted for most of the Vikings' points.

Girls are asked to ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 7 - Page 4 ---------- NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTON CAMPBELL CONCERT PLEASES AUDIENCE Beethoven's "Farewell Sonata" and Several of ChophVs FamWs Pieces Extremely Favored by Audience. David Campaex, one of the best known coast pianists, entertained the student body in the Tuesday assembly. Mr. Campbell not only demonstrated his ability as a pianist which lias made him so popular, but also proved that he has won his fame as a lecturer. Gives Short Talks Before playing each composition the artist gave a brief synopsis of the life of the man who composed that particular piece, and a few enlightening remarks about * the composition itself. This method of interspersing his recital with comments added much interest to the selections he played. Mr. Campbell's program, consisting of eleven famed compositions, was balanced, varied, and full of contrast. Beethoven's "Farewell Sonata" was one of the loveliest numbers, the pianist's explanation of the music adding much to the enjoyment of the piece. He explained that the composition consisted of thre movements; farewell, absence, and return. In saying farewell there is a "mixed state of feeling—sorrow at being parted, and the anticipation of return. The second movement is wistful as befits absence, while the third movement, signifying the return, is gay and opens with the coming of the stage coach. Three selections from Chopin were offered including the E Minor waltz, C Minor Etude, and the B Flat Minor Mazurka. The latter was very enthusiastically received. President Discusses Diploma Requirements President G. H. Fisher discussed the new requirements for a teaching diploma and- a life diploma in the regular assembly, January 31. He emphasized the fact that after the spring of this year all entering freshman must have attended this institution for two years plus one quarter of teaching to meet the standards to receive the elementary school diploma for teaching. After the spring of 1931, the requirement will be raised to twe years and two quarters and in 1932, three years will be required to receive a teachers diploma. Discusses Life Diploma ^- To earn a life diploma, teachers must have the number of quarter's work necessary for the elementary diploma at the time of their application for the diploma in addition to the extra 'quarter and twenty four months of teaching required at the present. All applicants must have taught two of the required three years in the State of Washington gt; . o :— "W" CLUB AND W. A. A.

Dancing, with music furnished by the Pep band, was the big diversion, with punch and other refreshment on the side. ' : 6 Methodist Church Is Student Preference Some interesting statistics taken from the files of the Dean of Worn-ens' office show that among the eight hundred students only about one hundred and fifteen showed no church preference when registering. It is probable that some of these did not state preference for other reasons than not having one. 'Methodist Preferred Outside of the fifty-seven men who expressed no preference, the greatest number, forty-five, chose the Methodist denomination while its closest competitors were the Presbyterian and Baptist churches, with twenty-one and fifteen respectively. EDENS HALL . Sunday evening at tea a very interesting program was presented by the girls that live on first floor, corridor South.
