Calendar o f Events T I E BARE POSSIBILITY Ellensburg Boasts Powerful Team Which has Already Won Twice from Cheney, Scared W. S. C. With their eye on the tri-normal Lall title now held by the Vikings a hustling squad of ball players from the Ellensburg Normal school will invade the campus here Friday and Saturday for a three-game series -with Coach Earl Jewell's pill chasers. "Down but not out," the Blue and White ball tossers will make a determined stand against the visitors in an attempt to regain some of the' ' prestige they lost in the Cheney series. Although losing two out of three contests' to the Savages., the Vikings made a discovery that they have in Henry Turner a promising-mounds-mac. Turner stepped from a substitute roll to that of hurler in the second contest of the series with the Savages and proceeded to give the eastern Washington boys a severe drubbing. iWth Turner pitching the brand of "ball he did at Cheney, and with Thor-lakson and McClurken on deck for relief duty, the Blue and White nine .should take one and possibly two of the Ellensburg contests. If the seemingly improbable should ]iappen and Coach Jewell's charges set Coach Roy Sandberg's proteges l gt;aek with two consecutive defeats, the three teachers' training institutions will be knotted in a tie for the title. The Norsemen have . gained back some of the confidence they lost "when ineligibility struck them a severe blow at the start of the season, and expect to give the Wildcats hard battles. If Clarke, O'Dell, Bailey and Thorsen are pounding the apple in the manner they did at the outset of the season, Ellensburg's hurlers are in for some .trouble. The Ellensburg nine is a powerful one, however, as demonstrated by the fact that they spanked Cheney twa games in a row and only lost to Washington State College by one or two points.

When about to enter upon a business enterprise of large proportions, the head of the firm called in *he junior partners to decide whether the measure was worm taking. The students of the Bellingham Normal are the junior partners in the firm of the Co-op. When it is a question of whether the service of the Co-op is sufficient, or whether it should be enhanced, or directed into different channels, the advice of the student body, as a unit and as individuals, is called for. Not only then, though, is the advice and counsel of the students requested. At all times, whether it be the matter of a new pencil sharpener, or a different type of envelopes, the management of the Co-op, 10 Miss Helen Mendelssohn Schumann Descendant of Famous Musicians. Plays Before Students. Vikings Drop Diamond Contests to Cheney When Hurlers Falter A violin recital was given in last Tuesday's assembly by Miss Helen Mendelssohn Schumann, accompanied at the piano by John Hopper. Miss Schumann, a student of Mme. Daven-port- Engberg, is a former resident of Bellingham, and is a direct descendant of Mendelssohn and Schumann, the*great musicians. ' Among the most pleasing numbers on her program, Avere: "The Rosary," by Nevin-Kreisler, and . "Frasqui'ta Serenade," by Lehar-Kreisler. The beautiful mellow tones of the former held the attention of every listener. "Frasquita Serenade" has been played for the student body on several occasions this year, and has been followed by the heartiest applause at each presentation.

ROLES WELL PLAYED hired agents of the student body, request the co-operation of the individual partners of the firm in making it a success. In the blue book of college bookstores, the Co-op rates as a class one shop, meaning that I t comes up to the highest requirements for a shop of its type. In other words, it rates Who's Who. However, this does not mean that there is nothing new to learn about the business. No matter how well a trade or profession is learned, the philosophers calmly state there is more to know. The Co-op realizes this. The student body, therefore, is appealed to, in order that members of' "ltz, the firm, unknowing of their franchise, may assert themselves and aid in the creation of a still better store in the school. As has been stated in previous articles dealing with the Students' Co-operative Store, its watchword has been, since its origination twenty years ago, ••Service." That this same theme may be better carried out, the advice of students is asked. Margaret Green and Glenn Gibbs Carry Leading Roles in a Way Which Wins Sympathy of Crowd (By 3Tary Hibner) Too true to life to be pleasant was ''Craig's wife" as presented by the Normal Drama Club last Friday evening in the auditorium. The play, by George Kelly, is a study of the bitterness of life for a romantic idealist when linked to a self-centered and self seeking mate. The story is of Mr. Craig, an idealist, two years married to a woman who thinks of nothing but herself and the way in which she can make things more secure for herself. Falsity is her very breath. She is utterly unable to tell the truth to anyone if she does not gain some end thereby. " For two years Craig has seen her as she wishes to be seen, and then his aunt tells him her real character. He is not convinced, but that evening J U S T A N O T H E R ELECTION? Another week and we will be in the midst of another Students' Association election. Two student representatives are to be elected to the Board of Control—one to succeed the only girl who has been a Board member for two quarters.' We will have the usual campaigning and electioneering, and all that goes with an election here at Bellingham Normal. It will probably again be "just another election" with the usual indifference on the part of the student body, the usual failure to weigh and consider candidates on their merits, the usual run of candidates; it will probably again be an issue of a manor a woman. Probably some petty triviality that has nothing to do whatsoever with what might be called an intelligent election will decide the vote in favor of one candidate or another. AH this will probably take place, and there is no harm in a great deal of it. Yet there is no denying that through these years we have been here, student elections have been anything but a huge success. Elections have come and gone, and are forgotten. Before many weeks this one will be completely forgotten as have been many others. Things will probably be as they have in the past. But perhaps not. What few elections of the past are remembered have stayed wih us because of something about them that was outstanding—different from the general run. Something less than four years ago when the men were running the school, the women had an uprising. They had suddenly seen that they were part of the student body, and, so they thought, needed representation on the Board of the Control. Then the famous phrase "Shall 100 rule 1000" came into being, and three women were elected to the Board at one time. . That is one election not altogether forgotten, and though we may question "the wisdom of making sex, rather than fitness for office, a campaign issue, we cannot deny that that one election so long ago was outstanding. And will this one be? Perhaps it will. Or it may be "just another election." It has been invariably true, that in a Students' Association election here as in many another election out in life, we vote, then forget. (What ones of us can name the members of the Board of Control?) This is supposed to be a democracy, and we are to be teachers, yet just how much do we think when we are faced with the problem of voting; how much ahead of the great American public are we in selecting those who take charge of our student affairs? True, our Board has usually had some excellent members, but because of the way we vote? Not at all. Because of the excellent way in which some of the "higher ups" have done their wire-pulling. And this so-called wire-pulling often has been Friday, May 25, 1928 GRADUATION WEEK TO BE UNUSUALLY mm M Library Dedication Day Will Add Impressive Ceremony to Four Annual Commencement Events.

The fellows played an ex cellent brand of ball, but, owing to the fact that three of their first string men, including pitcher and a :catcher, were out of the line-up they , "were unable to withstand the ter- Tifie heat and Cheney's baseball ability. ,.'

These boys certainly hit out that old pill, but so did Cheney. liTe Cheney batters seemed to know just wliere the old ball was going, they far from gently put their bats in front of the ball, send-* jng it to the extremeties of the field. • Cheney— AB.

We hope to see this coming election outstanding for another thing— the disappearance of the sex issue in Students' Association elections. Especially during the past two elections has this been prevalent, and has outweighed other more important issues. As we see it there is practically no chance for a member of either sex favoring his or her particular gender when it comes to voting matters. Yet we cannot deny that in a school where girls outnumber boys as they do here, the female element should be representd on our executive board. For the last four quarters, there has never been more than one girl on the Board of Control at a time. This is obviously rather an unfortunate condition. As a possible remedy of this we suggest this: , If the women of this school nominate one candidate for each position, and see to it that this candidate is better qualified than any opposing candidate, then stand in back of this candidate as a unit. They cannot fail to secure their deserved representation. Sleuthing Reporter Shocked When Normal Men Describe Ideal Wives "I won't play Santa Claus to any girl!" This is the way in which one man concurred with seventeen others in stating that his ideal wife would not have married him for his money. It was clear at the end of the first few interviews that economy is the most desired quality iii the ideal wife for Normal men, and it wa% equally clear that a majority of the . men would agree on no other-one point. _• ' As is usual in such canvasses, much sense kept company with more nonsense, and the next point of agreement was anything but sensible. Fourteen of the men canvassed agreed that their wives must not •; have false teeth and thirteen of them frewned severely on flat feet and fallen arches. The same number, thirteen, desire their wives to be good cooks. The reporter can see no connection, but there would seem to be one. And now for details: Athlete Wants Strange Wife The reporter decided to start his interviews with one of the baseball players, believing that he would get the conventional description of the athletic girl. Judge how surprised he was when his questioning drew forth the following oration: "My ideal wife must not have flat feet, and I'd prefer her not to snore. I want a girl with a hard-working conscience, one that sleeps -with both eyes shut, and one that will keep out of my pockets on pay-day night. She must be a good cook, and I would like her to have some knowledge of nutrition. She shouldn't be too tall or too short, I'd like her teeth to be her owrij and I want her to be able to eat three good meals a day, and not have to have -nourishment between times. I guess that's-all, except that she should have read Judge '•'- Lindsey's books and "'Jarnegan' and . understood all she read. You're wrelcome." Campus Leaders Are Brief After the reporter got his breath from his first shock, lie sought out two student leaders for their,opinions. Like most leaders, their wants were simple. The first of the two was cornered while he was eating, ' and brought forth this mouthful be- : ; tween bites: ; /.','.••'• "My ideal wife must be a good '••'..v- walker, and have a great deal of "~*~ common sense. , That's all." ^ The second one was more explicit. 4 perhaps he wasn't hungry; he eats ::.^ r at Edens Hall. C-; "My ideal wife must be a good i?i i ' l cook and a fair-minded, home-loving %y--"-';v:;'girf-": She should be neat and clean, |v • " but not necessarily good-looking, as |j2-i 41 eorisider spiritual qualities more fe^J^^rl:;:with\^some'; nrusieaIfa^Wlity.'[;._.;; Reporter Shocked Again The reporter thought he had his last shock for the clay, so he picked out a respectable young man and sat down to hear an adolescent's dream of the ideal woman. It turned out to be a nightmare: "My ideal wife is fat, white, and under six feet-six in height. She must be red-headed, freckled, and I want her to dance like a crate of eggs. I want her to be very domestic, like a cow, and both her teeth must be beautiful. Her collar must be under size sixteen and her shoes under size twelve. She must be neat and clean, carrying Listerine contin- . ually, and she must wash up the dishes after every meai. I think that's all, except for this: I want a girl that can. make a streetcar hickey look like a ten-dollar gold-piece." The reporter minutes. was revived ten After taking a strong stimulant, the reporter decided to check back on his notes and form a type that represented the desires of the students. He looked at the results and compared them with the ideal girl, and was surprised at the difference. The ideal wife must be; Eco- - nomical, a good cook,, have good health, be free from hereditary taints, be a companion, be home-loving, like children, dance fairly well but dislike this form of recreation; be affectionate, loyal, and a minority of two students would require her to be of good moral character. Allowing for individual variations in taste, this is the pattern. The Reporter's Opinion The reporter threw his notes into the waste-basket, and went out to interview one other person and call it a day, so he sought out a prominent radical and drew from him his reluctant view.* on his ideal wife. "My ideal wife" he modestly stated, "must be honest, industrious, thrifty, economical, patriotic, loyal, cooperative, devout, idealistic, moral, just, tolerant, philosophical, cheerful, happy, affectionate, gentle, kind, loving, courageous, clever, - tactful, wise, sensible, intelligent, in-, tellectual, cultured, b e a utiful, natural, unsophisticated, unaffected, young, strong, and health-thy and greatly skilled in all the domestic arts—have • I omitted anything?" The reporter assured him that he hadn't, and, before catching the train for Sedro-Woolley, to recuperate from his arduous duties, wishes, to state-that this is also his ideal wife, with one additions-she must be wildly in jlbve with him/ s :-j.:; By ~ M / RE at wn .rush OM If any of the following is not -clear to you, please remember the stage was rough in spots and I couldn't read some of my writing.

Everything went wrong—the breaks were bad, and the heat was almost unbearable. Thus it happened that three Viking varsities, who had journeyed to Ellensburg in quest of three state titles,, inside of a few hours saw two of them pass into other hands, and hope of taking a third virtually removed. ' Three Bellingham teams— baseball, tennis, and track—went down to defeat when two of them were considered unbeatable. It is a sad gt;story,'but not one which will leave'a blot on the record of Bellingham Normal, for the boys all did their best, and fought till they no longer could. " So the Tri-Normal Meet of 192S : passed into history on Saturday, May 19, and as a result, Ellensburg holds the state track title and is almost as sured of the baseball championship, while Cheney for the first time in history, it title holder in tennis. The results: Track—Ellensburg . 51, Cheney 43, Bellingham 38. Baseball— Cheney 18, Bellingham 7. Bellingham 19, Cheney 6. Cheney 13, Bellingham 12. Tennis— Cheney won 3 matches, lost 1. Bellingham: won 2 lost 2. Ellensburg: won 0, lost 3. There is the sad, sad story in a nutshell. . Track Meet Hard Fought The track men felt the hand of fate fax more heavily than they deserved, and lost when they were doped to win by twenty points. Arid all that after leading in total points until alntost the last event. In their downfall three things contributed, three things which would down all but the very best of opposition: first "strong opposition: second, HEAT: third, "fate. Ellensburg "came out victorious for the first time, but only after Viking athletes had broken three out of four state records which went by the board. The Wildcats, on their home field, presented a well balanced team which .earned its 51-43-3S victory over Cheney and Bellingham, but yet Kay Jewell was high-point man for the day with 13 markers to his credit, won with firsts in the half-mile and .'• shot-put, and second in the 440 yard .' dash. Siegert, star Chenev dash f _ man took second place in total points accumulated with ll1^, gained with firsts in 100 and 220-yard dashes, and in the relay: "Babe" Peterson, Ellensburg, took all-round honors when he placed in five events—shot-put, 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, discus, and broad jump—and won 11 points for his alma mater. Records Fall Exceptional .marks were made when the four records, fell. Seigert was clocked in 10 seconds flat in the 100; Jewell broke "Sleepy" Algyer's mark of three years'-standing when he won the 880 in 2:02 3-5; "Chuck" Erickson, Viking javelin thrower par excellence,-hurled the spear 177 feet, 10 inches; and Norman Bright, sensational 17 year old Viking find, placed first in the mile run with a time of 4 minutes, 40.and two-fifths seconds. ^ Summary .-, Mile Run— Bright, Bellingham, first: Higley, Ellensburg, second;.

Defeat Is Upset. Three Viking tennis stars, fighting to retain a state title that had never left Bellingham, went down to defeat before the Cheney Normal racquet- •\vieklcrs, Saturday morning on the Ellensburg courts,' when they encountered unexpected .opposition and could not find the punch to put across another victory. Again the heat evidently played an important part, for the Bellingham representatives all started strongly, then faltered and lost control of their shots, while their opponents, used to Eastern Washington weather, continued to play fine tennis, and walked off with the title. The three-cornered meet between Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg soon resolved itself into a two-sided affair, when Bob Fisher, Viking first man, downed Jack Webster, of Ellensburg, (i-2, 0-2, and Dick Hungate, Cheney's second man, eliminated Ira Overstreet, his Wildcat rival, G-2, 1-0, 6-3. "Shorty" West. Cheney ranking player, then took on Fisher, who went completely off his game, and administered him a severe licking, 6-3, 6-0. Myer Thai, Viking second man, brought back hope for a Bellingham victory when he took Hungate into camp 7-5, 6-3. Both men played nice games, but Thai proved himself easily superior when he got his backhand drives to working towards the end of the match. Doubles Decide Meet With both Bellingham and Cheney having two victories and one defeat, the doubles decided the meet. Thai and Nick Bond took tjie court against the two Cheney flashes, put •up a good fight, but were outplayed and went down to defeat 6-2, 6-3. Ellensburg and Cheney then hooked up in the second doubles match of the day, as per schedule, but the outcome was a foregone conclusion, and West and Hungate cinched the title by plastering Webster and Over-street to the tunc of 6-2, (5-1. And the title was Cheney's for the space of one year. LETTERS AWARDED TO SEVEN TRACKSTERS FOR THIS SEASON'S EFFORTS With the close of the track season seven men will be awarded letters. They are: Hemmi, Jewell, Gallanger, Bright, Korsboen, Arnett, and Erickson. This is a comparatively small number of men to receive letters but the points Avon so decided the matter. Though not a single meet was won, Head Coach Sam Carver says he is not disappointed with the showing of his men. The team is much better than last year and if last year's team had competed at the Tri-Normal meet this year a much- poorer showing would have been made.

The program included studies in natural rhythms, interpretations of : child "rhythms, polkas, waltzes, and a dramatic interpretation of a scene in a temple. "•Natural llhythms and Dances is symbolic of a new spirit in physical education itself. It calls for a new emphasis: it connotes new meanings. In particular it says that those who dance must dance as a child, expressing in natural outward forms, inner thoughts and feelings. It is impatient with posturings, with pos-es, with self-consciousness, with artificiality, with dilenttautism. " "Natural rhythms and dances are not a passing form butt* a rational approach to the expression si'de of physical education.''" This is what Dr. Jesse F. Williams, of Teachers' College, Columbia University, says in regard to the Natural Dance. • Bellingham Normal is one of the few colleges that require a natural dancing course to be taken by every girl before graduation. : o MISS HILL 'ENTERTAINS Miss Margaret Hill entertained Avith an informal supper in her room at Edens Hall, 'Wednesday night.

At one time Mrs. Taylor and her husband Avere captured by brigands and held for six weeks. At the end of that period she Avas released in order that she might go and obtain a ransom for her husband. Besides her Avork as a missionary, Mrs. Taylor lias made some notable contributions as an authoress. "Biography of Hudson Taylor," "Pu and Brigands," and "Bordon of Yale," are among her works. Favorable Faculty Report Required Before Students Get Teaching Jobs There are qualities other than good grades required of each Normal graduate before he can obtain a teaching position. Still, most of our students plod along Avith the conviction that if they rivet their eyes on a printed page two hours for each hour spent in class, obtain good grades in an objective test-or two, they are bound to win a principal-ship. ' But Avait Before any candidate for teaching is considered there is a blank called a "Faculty Report" to be filled out by several faculty members Avho have previously experienced that student in their classes. These are the qualities on which an applicant is judged: 1. Appearance. Agreeable personal appearance; neatness of person; general bearing. 2. Industry and Dependability. Habit of positive attack upon Avork; Avillingness to. co-operate, and to take the responsibility for own acts. 3. General .Culture. Breadth of education; growth through many-sided life interests; -worth-while recreational and appreciative interests. Correct, and effective speech and manners. 4. Intelligence and Adaptability. Native ability to learn; habits of weighing new-points- of view, or evaluating critical situations, of arriving at sensible conclusions, of giv-ing clear and intelligent directions. 5. Professional Knowledge and Ability to Use It. (5. Valuable Experience. These qualities are designated as lowest, low, average, high, or highest, as the case may be if compared with ten representative students whose abilities vary from poor to superior. • It is surprising how much harm a poor "Faculty Report" can do. An excellent student on the distribution sheet, if rateil-"lowest" oh the chart may wait for years before a superintendent calls for him. SUMMER REGISTRATION BEGINS IMMEDIATELY ORCHESTRA FOR DEDICATION CHOSEN The chorus which will sing for dedication of the library will be accompanied by an orchestra.

The ; interest that has been shown by \the contributors '•'.;;• proves that literature has some,place in the lives of Normal school students. "Vernon Zaclirison, editor, says: '"If the literary experiments fourid in the Red Arrow prove to" be/taken seriously enough to merit1 thai.criticism of its readers, the staff.:will feel richly repaid for its efforts." ' One of the chief aims of the staff has been to give their readers the greatest possible variety of student writings. It includes short stories, poems, satires, essays, humor and editorials. The Scribes Club feels that this work gives ari insight to the trend in student thought. -With March 15 set as the tentative, the Normal will swing into its inter-collegiate debate schedule with a clash between We D e r college °f Ogden, Utah, being slated. The date,. however, may be changed if the visitors are unable to make it. This •will be the first inter-collegiate'debate of the local school for the past two years. ;; " The prospects for the clash are /rather indefinite as yet.

C. Herre addressed the students • in assembly on the subject of the Philippines. * r . Herre was the head of the" biological staff here seven years ago and is a graduate of Stanford. His chief interest was in fislr and Avliile in Stanford, he was a student of the famous authority, DaA'id Starr. Jordan. He left his Normal-position to take over the directorship of the bureau of science in the Philippines and while his business there was purely scientific, it was partly economic since fish are used so extensively in the diet of the Philippine people. He lias travelled over 50,000 miles around the Philippines and has even made trips to Java in looking for edible varieties of fish. gt; "Last year he was a delegate to the PanrPacific conference held in Tokio, Japan. He is the author of—several books and numerous monographs on tropical fish. These have made him not only a national, but international authority on the subject of tropical fish. -.'; _ :———o-—; • ' Bellingham Tulip Fe ipal Planned For By Committee is "Ee^ States Armed Foreign Lands, Except After" a Formal Dee- ; laration of War!"

Staged in an unusual -and original setting, a travelogue idea was maintained throughout. Each country was represented * by a course—the food and decorations being typical of that clinic. Mementos also typified each country. After securing a passport, they leave by steamer and are whisked from one country to another by dirigible aeroplanes, and boats, their itinerary covering France, Austria, Italy, Egypt, and China. , Arriving in. China, the emperor asks the .-travelers for the, most worth-while things in life. Puzzled with such a question, these learned people ask different ones of their numbers, which include philosophers, scientists and others "of like status, but" each is unable to answer^. In the' epilogue, -the voyagers have returned home arid are pictured in their-vai-ious pursuits. Miss Beiswenger,- chairman, Mrs. Ewell Miss Countryman, Miss Man: 'n'jv and ;;Mr. Kolstad. were the^committee in charge of the party. ^ u t p p ' f ^ w n ^ ^ e s i ^ ; f ^ s ^ | i ^ f e e^ ^ ^ e $ I ^ - ; a h ^ ^ s ^ ^ ^ ^ h t C T ^ B ^ t ^ y^ :ffifF^;V^ispn|Wija|sbfi ;EvCTeti^wftoil^ ;ll^iJeiffie|'Bb'sslM¥d:|^ • ' k ) ^ f ^ ^ | r a c ^ ^ i t a ^ ^ La^enceV^^ ; b f j L e ^ ; ;Gx«^b^^';;^^ s^o^^nd#3i ;::^ow^ of Seaittle/Vwho •visited^Eyeryn Heid-; elastrpmr a n d ^ l ^ s s S D o^ l y ^ a r l ^ Perayal^ p^ were; guests;;ioTrN^a Six; ;.'?# ;:^;;; gt;;' ;TJniyereity;.^ of - ;^y gt;shuig^n\V;: stu-dents ^were;; guests; :pf f a',•..'•. number;: • of.

In the hands ?pf?.a capable company, withEustace Wyatt; a leading Eng-- lish actpr,: as Abraham Lincoln, this play brings back to life one of the ? epoch-making chapters of American -history and reproduces them with tremendous force and vitality. As Drinkwater intended^ all the aetipn centers around Lincoln and it is his portrayalthat makes the drama so powerful,and moving. .- gt; ^ The play is arranged in six scenes: ';;?:--?;-:-:'? /."' Six Scenes -•:" ..__?- The first, scene pictures Lincoln at his house to Springfield at the time he^s notified that he is the chosen candidate for the presidency; There follows a scene .showing him and his ?. cabinet: at: the ^declaration •.-. of, war; then an incident in his home life in Washington and a second meeting of the cabinet at the signing of the Emancipation. Proclamation. The fifth scene; deals with the surrender of Lee at -Grant's headquarters, and another portrays the final tragedy at Ford's Theatre. Each ,of these scenes is historically accurate,; and / vividly and beautifully portrayed. .The twelve New York actors in the .cast were chosen especially because of their ability to fit into the historical characters which they portray. ^ Curtain at 8:15 P.

With -75 programs filled 6ut gt; the orchestra engaged, the decorations near completion, andipep^and enthusiasm predominating, the EdenB Hall gu-ls are ready to stage their^ quarterly dance tomorrow night in the drawing room at Edens Hall. The programs, are not to be miniature sunsets as was announced previously, but will be decorated "with tints of rainbow colors. . The customary moonlight dance is renamed the twilight waltz in keeping with the sunset idea. The first dance is named "At Sundown" and the last, very appropriately, "After Glow," "Silhouette Drag" and '"Creeping Shadows" are examples of how all the dances will be named. ': From what can be learned the decorations promise to be very picturesque and original. Patrons and patronesses are Mr. and Mis. H. E. Fowler arid Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams. Dancing will start promptly at 8:30 p.m., music being furnished by Heun's 5-piece orchestra. ' .

WASHINGTON Friday, August 22, 1930 *~ -* POOR LITTLE "J.S.'A MID-VICTORIAN BATTLE WOMAN'S MAIN INTEREST GOOD-BYE! , —By Catherine Morse - We hate to start this column, for it is our last for this quarter—in fact, it is 'our very last appearance as "Normalette." We have greatly enjoyed our quarter as a feature column, and we want all our readers to know that we appreciate greatly their support and are sorry this is bur last contact. We realize that there are a large number of people who are of- the opinion that we have contributed nothing to the school with our column, and know that if they had been given the chance, they could have written a "Normalette" that was really worth while." "J. S.," who asserted himself in the last isr sue was one of these people. His discussion was interesting enough as far as it went, but instead of generalizing, his remarks were all directed to one little item. And it was so little of him to be so annoyed about the "battle" of "Bottled*' and "Normalette." If the two columns had carried it out to the entire extent of their columns, the point would be well-taken, but as it was, the occasional remark about the rival column only created mutual reader interest. Poor, little "J. S.," don't be jealous of "Bottled" and "Normalette"; maybe sometime you will be able to get something printed outside of a Student Opinion column. Who had to drag up the Victorian question of the "battle of the.sexes"? And did you see all the men who had to get their little say in? So silly: -Why, that .question has been settled long ago, and it really needs no discussion. Both sexes are equally important, for with either, the race would have died out long ago—only mentality, character and adaptability mark superiority, and these characteristics are distributed regardless of sex. Bob Walters To Fill Editorial Chair In Fall Gordon Leen Elected to Viking Business Manager's Position at Board of Control Meeting Monday. Bob Walters was elected to be editor,, of The Northwest Viking, by the Board of Control, at its regular meeting, last Monday night. Bob Walters is not attending Normal this quarter, but was enrolled as a student in this institution for the past year. Jack Gudmundson was the only other candidate' for jthis office. Gordon Leen, former business manager of The Viking, was elected to manage the school paper during the next fall quarter. The other applicant for the position was Jack Greaves, who was assistant business manager of The Viking last spring quarter. Charles Dowell, student of last year, was elected as secretary of the Board of Control for the fall quarter. The other applicants for the position were John Rajala and Dick Louis. The secretary is chosen quarterly by the Board of Control, and is required to keep a written record of all Board meetings and perform any other duties in connection with the business of the Students' Association as designated by the Board of Control. The salary is fifteen dollars per month.

O — : '• Registration Plans For Fall Quarter Complete Schools to Open September 29, Program of Registration Completed. Mixer at Armory to be Held Wednesday, October 1. You know, so often in reading current magazines you are able to pick up little thoughts that rather take your eye: and are most adaptable to your own life. Somewhere, we . ran across a little article the other day on people who are always asking for criticism. You know the type. They come up to you and ask you to read an article they wrote or a picture they drew or something similar and give them your ''honest criticism." Usually, you tell them its awfully nice; or something' similar, and send them away beaming; but if you should take them at their word, nine times out of ten. they will have plenty to say in defense of their work and they will be care* ful not to come to you again for "criticism." And that is exactly 'what this article said. "When a man asks :for criticism, he is usually lookr wg^/pn praise." . | . . : :;• We were' playingwith the radio again and just managed to pick up something that we think was plenty : good.

When Juno, his wife, plead f:or wmeri to \ experience -the same potion* Jupir ;1»r replied: "What, woman a friend? ?Nb! a thousand times ho!

Monday, September 29, the new Freshmen will enroll from 8 until 8:30 o'clock. Sophomore registration, second, and third; quarter freshmen, and upper division students will register between 8.30 and 5 o'clock. From 11 until 11:50 o'clock, a special assembly for all new Freshmen and other new students, will be held. Greetings and announcements will be made by the President of the Normal School- The Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the President "of the Students' Association. Blue- Books will be presented to the new students. Directed tours to points, of interest on the campus will-be held from 8 until 10:30 o'clock.^Matriculation and enrolhnent of- new Freshmen will continirerbe^reen the hours of 1 and 2- o'clock. Another special assembly; for all new stu- Completing two quarters of pains takingly accurate work, Carl Dun-has placed his glider on Tulip Field: He intends to fly it at the first opportunity. Starting last April on a problem of aviation and the construction of gliders. Mr. Durr gradually worked out and decided to experiment in making a glider. Rudimentary plans were secured from the Modern Mechanics magazine. These were insufficient when it came to the' fine work on the ship and necessitated research and extensive study to perfect it as it now is. It has a wing spread of 37 feet. The total weight of the ship is 200 pounds. Each wing weighs about 54 pounds, has 36 supporting ribs made of spruce, a maximum depth of seven inches and is five feet wide. The framework of the wings is covered with a light cotton cloth, treated with airplane dope to lessen friction, shrink the cloth, and make it airtight. This gives it an aluminum appearance. •:!--;^.,J.v-,;v-:;_v-;--v-- -;• ;".-.-• All visible metal fittings are handmade. Airplane spruce has been used throughout the ship. This gives a maximum amount of strength with, a minimum amount of weight. Six-other different kinds of wood have been used where, spruce was inadequate- Mr. Durr, commenting on the construction of the ship said: "Every effort has been made to conserve weight and give strength. Throughout, I have used on the very best grade of airplane materials." The hold that gliding has taken upon the students is evidenced by the formation of a "club at Lynden. They secured for their use a glider similar to that of Mr. Durr's, at a cost of $450.00. There is a glider under construction at Cheney Normal, the University of Washington, and also at Everett High School. Mr. Ruckmick, in commenting on the job said: "The work has necessitated the working out of problems in aviation which were not explained in the plans. It is accurate enough for airplane work." Mr. Rule said: "It is a masterpiece of exactness." All who have observed the work are unanimous in the opinion that it is a remarkable piece of work." The gliding ratio for this type of ship is 15-L That is for every hundred feet of height attained it "can glide 1,500 feet under normally calm atmospheric conditions. An elastic cord is. .used to; snapthe:glider into the air. The cord is attached to the glider from an automobile which speeds across the field. As soon as the ship gets into the air the cord relaxes, dropping from the glider and a gliding altitude is assumed. Mr. Durr wishes to express his appreciation ;of the help and co-operation tltot he has received from Mr. Ruckmick, Mr. Rule, and. Mr.;Rin-dell, of this school; Herb Buroker and Gus Klundt, of the Sound. Air Transport; and Ray Liridberg, of the Whatcom High School.

The Viking staff members regret that Mr. Herbert Fowler, faculty advisor of the Northwest Viking, will not be with us next year. Mr. Fowler has been the good friend of every member of the staff. He has "been good enough to laugh with the dullest of us in our crude attempts at column humor, and wise enough to guide our debunking feet when we threatened to debunk "not wisely but too well." Through knowing him we have learned that a journalist may be both a gentleman and a scholar, and because of that we have become imbued with a high faith in the profession. He has let us mix work and play so well that our short year | or two on the Viking will remain the most fruitful, as well as the happiest years in our lives. He has fostered such a spirit of comradship that to be a Viking cub reporter is to be a high mogul in a very.proud society. The best wishes of the Viking staff go with you', Mr. Fowler, and we know that when you come back "from New York that you "will be the same good fellow that you have been with us while you have been teaching us the tenets of the journalistic creed. • DOUBLE REC HOUR ' Speaking as the organ of the people, it was pretty decent of the Board of Control to give us an extra dance last night. It was a good dance. As the voice of the people— We Thank You! GOOD FOOTBALL According to Pop Gunn and Sam Carver, interest in fall football is getting warmed up early. We have some fast men coming back, and with some good football material among the unknown, this year should be a winning year. But win, lose or draw, with Pop and Sam doing the coaching, we'll have a dead game, fighting football aggregation that will play clean football all season. ' And to get back to our main point again—this looks like a Viking year. . He had a little twisted face and spoke with a foreign accent. "The right arm was off abdve the elbow.

One talks of culture, social problems, music, literature and art while the other always has a mcriminting bit of scandal to relate—a risque story to recount or something to talk about that nedes a whisper. i * * * * We are cultured individuals and should be interested in, the cultured person and yet how many-of us indulge in people such as the latter. * * * * \ . We are cultured, yet how many of us who yawned at the "Pigeon" the evening before sat rapt in interest while "Strictly Dishonorable" was being reviewed? mion SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY We congratulate Victor Bidwell on his election to the presidency of the Scholarship Society. To be a member of the society ,is to have attained a very high standerd of scholarship during several quarters. We would like to see Mr. Bidwell and the other members of the organization make the society the finest club in the school. It has been largely though the good students.who have gone out from the institution that the Normal has come to be known as one of the leading teacher training institutions in the United States. A real interest in scholastic achievement, such as the Scholarship Society stimulates will do much to force the Normal further up the Institutional ladder. GOOD B Y E NORMAL. Next quarter Bob Walters will be the editor of the Northwest Viking. We hope that the staff with which he will work will be as •good as the one which has assisted us during the past two quarters. It lhas been fun, Working with the boys and girls who turn out the school paper. We are sorry that we won't be back to help next year. We wish Mr. James Carrell the best of all possible good luck, and we happen to know that the staff is going to like him. And with that we sign our "thirty." Good Bye Normal!

S. was disgruntled and throught to throw off steam by passing the buck (fight) to two of our best-known columnists.

Does it appear junkey to you? Perhaps! My, my, am I talking of the unavoidable! How terrible — how preposterous. This dear, jolly, old publication of scandal, thwarted ink and wasted paper. To think that it subjected to the innocent public! It's amazing, that's all; it's amazing! And we get away with it. How unjust! And such columns—such rubbish! They should be discontinued! It is fortunate that old Voltaire made his statement to. Helvetius. Absolutely! What was his statement? Oh, yes; I remember—"I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it." Thanks, Voltaire, you saved at least two of the columns of this paper. OPPORTUNITY Knocking again, claims Normal-ette in the "Allegory," printed in last week's Viking. The fact that Normqlelte got her gender mixed up does not concern us, but toe do wish to correct the column on -its supposed? "freedom of the press." We sure wish to state at this time that Voltaire had the right idea, but history refused to substantiate his argument. We know a lot of good jokes that we cant print for obvious reasons, according to the editor. We heard, recently, one in particular about a Dutchman that Was pretty good.

According to the dope there is, go-- ing to be a lively bunch of individuals up here at school this fall.

The crack baseball team of Edens Hall won the mid-summer championship from such fast teams as El Nido and the Rinkeydinks.

From there":ttiey: 'will Although there seems no great interest, in finding out who is the best loser in the elimination tennis tournament, there has been a great struggle to avoid being eliminated. The first big elimination of the tournament was the match between Jeanette Lang and Elizabeth Gable, in which Lang made a decisive win of 7-5, 6-1. In the next round of matches Jeanette Lang defeated Ar-lene Johanson, 6-4, 6-3, which put her in the semi-finals. The, two who' enjoy playing so much with each other, Edna McKelvey and Bernice Johnson,: again spent two or three afternoons finishing up a match which McKelvey filially won with the sets 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, This match between these two rivals may or may not decide which is the better player. It still is a* disputed question, and depends, ori the individual which side you uphold. Tuesdays McKelvey and Lang took the afternoon off and played the match to finish up the eliminating. After warming up and starting in immediately to play, the reporter on the scene was rather confused and was unable to discern the technical difference between the match play and ordinary • pingpong. Although there were a few close shots on the: back and sidelines, on the whole ;it was not an: i outstanding match.

At present, efforts are being concentrated upon the western part of the field, the tentative' site of the new tennis courts. The power shovel and three dump trucks of Chasteen and' Dorsey, local ~ contractors, are operating at full capacity in' the work of leveling. Continuation of the work upon the major -portion of the field, the eastern part which is •the site for the new football field, is impeded by an extremely"; intricate problem ,61 drainage.' This, among other complications, makes the setting of a definite date for the completion of the entire field impossible. The field is planned to be one of the most attractive in the Northwest. It is to be set hi a site which is almost ideally suited-by nature for its future purpose. It will have separate fields, with ho overlapping; for football and baseball, and-also a group of new tennis courts. The decision upon the site of the new field was made with thought given to the future position of the anticipated physical education building, and also to an idea of harmony in the lay-out of the campus as a whole. Since the afore-mentioned physical education building will occupy part. of the present athletic field, heed for "the new field, will come as soon'as work is started on the building. Accordingly, work has been started early in anticipation of this need. Since only $10,000 have been appropriated for the work thus far, it has been carried on rather slowly. Providing that sufficient funds are left from that amount next spring, it is expected that the tennis courts will be constructed then. o——— Miss AuGrey Zellers, Calss of '27. visited school this week. Miss Zellers attended the University of Southtern California, returning about the first of the year to resume her teaching- at the Normal. the very first round seems to be between Ruth Davis and Betty Taylor, with Davis favored to win.

That crime is unprofitable, was the theme of the address by Jack Black, to the students in assembly, last Tuesday morning. Mr. Black's knowledge is founded on personal experience in and out of prison. He is the author of "You Can't Win," which has been in the best-seller class. •• :.. Black placed some of the blame for crime. on ^society,, and declared that environment has much to do with criminal tendencies and youthful activities. Hhe criticized the drastic Baume Law, of New York state, holding- that it is too harsh. Th speaker recalled his own criminal days and said that he redemption was due to the efforts of a San Francisco .editor and to the consideration of a judge in that city. It is believed that he referred to Fremont Older, veteran journalist, and Judge Prank H. Dunn. , Black reported that during the San Francisco fire of 1906, evidence connected with one of his escapades was destroyed and that he was held in prison six and one-half years while the authorities tried to re-collect the evidence or enough of it to convict him. He finally escaped, but he was arrested again. It was at this stag ethat the editor pleaded for a light sentence. The court sentenced him to one year in San Quentin.

Bond Says Summer Rec Program Good "The summer recreation provided for the students, was more than usual this past summer quarter," declared Mr. E. A. Bond. "Intramural basketball was the main sport during the first six weeks, while baseball was the outstanding sport during the last six weeks. A school hike was sponsored each week-end of the quarter. •v gt;;f The recreation committee, headed by E. A. Bond, feel that the students have participated in the rec-reation program in a wonderful way this summer. V: Fifty-six students and faculty took the Mount Baker trip; forty went gt;to Hannegan Pass, forty-eight saw Sky Line, thirty-two were at; Twin .Lakes," and"thirty-six placed their feet on Lookout mountain. The largest and what was declared to be the finest photography exhibit to be shown in the Normal school was held this" week by the photography class in the Men's Club room. More than 130 pictures were shown, which is twenty-five more than have appeared in previous exhibits. "I was particularly pleased with the work of the class this quarter," Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, instructor, declared, "because of the enthusiasm with which the class members attacked the problems of photography, and because of the ingenuity and quality of the-work turned out." Various types of photographs were exhibited, most of which were made with small folding and box cameras, and then enlarged. Still life work, landscapes, industrial studies, seascapes, portraits and architectural studies, and other types of photography were shown in the exhibit, which was handled by a committee consisting of Mrs. Martha Ford, Sam Buchanan and Margaret Solum. Among the most outstanding work exhibited were several studies by Mrs. Ford, including an unusually attractive view of the indoor stairs in the Library building, and several portraits taken by Harold Rush by means of a small box camera and a portrait attachment. "The students have shown a very good grasp of composition values," Mr. Ruckmick declared, "And I believe have'gotten a good deal from the course in the appreciation of the beauty around them. Nearly all of the pictures taken were obtained in local settings." "We are going to try to make the Scholarship Society a real goal for students interested in maintaining a high scholastic standing," Victor Bidwell, newly elected president of the Scholarship Society declared after his election last week. "Edith Dyer, who was president of the organization during me past year, has done a great deal to strengthen the club, and we are going to try and continue her work."

She is a Bellingham girl who has earned ran enviable reputation by continued priactice. Last June, E. B. Deming, president of the Pacific American Fisheries, presented her with a fifteen thousand dollar Stradivarius violin, made in 1755. This violin is from the Franz Ries's estate, which possessed three of these violins.: Zim-balist has one, while the third is still owned by the estate. Mr. Deming purchased the violin through Her-nann of Berlin. :She started her career when only six and one-half years of age. In 192(r Leon Sametoni. famous Belgian Master, sent her to Chicago to study. 'She was in Chicago five years and in that.time won all her tuition in, .scholarships and two five hundred dollar violins. These prizes gave her $wo appearances; with the Chicago Symphony at Orchestra Hall, and since then she. has appeared five more times with them. : In 1925 she won the National Federation, of Music Clubs contest at Portland, Oregon. This prize gave her a tour of the United States and five hundred dollars. As a direct result of this the National Music League accepted her as an artist and handles her management. During the last year she has made two Coast to Coast tours and has appeared in 150 concerts. Last year at a; benefit concert for St. Paul's Episcopal church she was presented with • a one thousand dollar check by the people of this community. Canadian Girl Violinists In Friday Program Young Girl Musical Artists Have Won Acclaim in England and Before Canadian Audiences. "Saskatoon can boast of two prodigies, Eleanor Agnew and Margaret Wilson youthful violinists 13 years of age," said Lyell Gustin, director of the Musical club of that city. These two girls who play here the 21st have played before many notable musicians both of this country and England and have received many laudations from them. Mr. Thos. F. Dunhill, famous English composer and of the staff of the Royal College of Music in London, said that their playing is of "exceptionally good vitality, and splendidly controlled temperamental quality/perfect intonation and clear technique." Mrs. C. D. Mitcfiner, president Women's Musical Club. Saskatoon, says: "I have followed the careers of both girls—they have exceptional ability that is amazing in children only beginning their 'teens. A concert by these artists is a musical event." v .The girls are pupils of Florence (Continued on Page Two) - * I ALL CUJBmEPORTERS!

Women's League Makes Plans For Present Quarter An , informal dance sponsored by the Women's League will be given the evening of Noveniber 19 in the dining room of Edens Hall, for all women students and their frinds liv-ig outside the dormitory. This decision was reached at the first fall meeting of the Women's League Commission, held in the Dean of Women's office last Tuesday evening, October 11. The Women's assembly, to be held approximately two weks from now, was made under .discussion, with 'each* committee chairman planning a stunt to be presented. Dates for the regular commission meetirigs were set for every other Thursday p. m., in the Dean's, office. Carrie Tucker and Dean Edmund-son Chosen for One and Four Quarter Positions on the Board. H E A V Y V O T E IS C A ST Professor Bond Also Ran, Returning to Executive Body Seat Which He Had for Ten Years. In the regular Students' Association election that was held last Tuesday in assembly, Robert Fisher was elected president .Dean Edmundson was elected student representative to the board of control for four quarters. They were unanimously elected as a result of being the only ones attracted to their various offices. Carrie Tucker was elected student representative for one quarter by a slight margin over Joel Gudmund-son. The various aspirants gave campaign speeches, with the exception of the Yell Leaders who led the assembly in yells^ This was followed immediately by the election. Each person deposited his ballot with men stationed at the doors as he passed out. President Fisher was highly pleased with the fact that nearly 700 people voted in the election. As Robert Fisher was vice-president of the students' association, his election as president temporarily vacates the latter position. An election for the vice-presidency will take place soon, as it is necessary to fill this position as soon as possible. The; election of Mr. Bond to the Board ovf Control is rather interesting as he has been on the Board of Control for the past ten years. As he says, "As many times as I have fingers on my two hands."

The general features of the book have been mapped out and the task of compiling the material is being started. Last Wednesday evening the football squad was forced to undergo the photographer's wiles, in order that the pictures from which the cuts are made could be taken. This year's programs will be of similar design to former ones, but will.j. contain some very new features and a different arrangement, all designed to increase their attractiveness. They will be slightly larger than last year's, according to present plans. These programs are oval shaped, representing a football. They contain the pictures of all the players and coaches, and scenes of the two Normal Schools with a description and history of each. Besides this the complete information about each of the teams is included. They form a pleasing memo of the Homecoming Festivities, and in the past have proved very popular wfth the students.

As long as we only get that out of school which we put in, let's get behind the officers we elected and put them over the top better than ever before. It is again open season for Student Opinions. This issue carries the first manifestation of student thought to appear this term. To act as a medium through which students may voice protests or comments on things which come to their attention about school is one of the purposes of the Weekly Messenger. If you have a pet grievence we urge you to air it. Student Opinion columns in the Messenger in the past have housed some mighty interesting discussions. The hotter the arguments the better, so long as they are reasonable, for that is what makes the paper read. ELECTIONS Figures show that over six hundred fifty students voted in the elections, Tuesday, which is a decided improvement over previous years. This at a time when so many peope are new and unacquainted, is encouraging. Last Spring a litte over six hundred-votes were cast in the election of a new President. In other elections throughout the year it was hard to muster a vote from half of the Student Body. Yet it seems peculiar that only about .two-thirds of the students will vote at best. Nearly everything possible has been done to get all to vote except impose a fine for neglect of so doing. Votes are distributed in Assembly and candidates introduced. All the students have to do is mark the.ballot and drop it in the basket on their way out of the hall. So sirdple! Maybe, too simple. . B E A T CHENEY The Vikings made an auspicious start for the coming athletic year in so decisively defeating the West Seattle Athletic Club. The slate is still clean and prospects point to a successful football season, possibly an undefeated team. Last year Bellingham Normal established an enviable record in Tri-Normal athletic circles annexing four of the five championships in the major sports. Football was won by the Ellensburg team. This year's group of Bellingham athletes have figuratively "hitched gt;ds a^high soixl-i gt;ut one- worth Aiming for..; In this venture the teams rep-their wagon to a star.' T o be the Tri-Normal champions in all respects resenting the White and Blue will have the whole-hearted Backing of the . Student Body. This school is proud of its team, proud of their past --ac^uuiHlrahmcutai-and will do its best toward encouraging them in makingit a year of unblemished TecordsT r ~ - - ^ [ j . Tomorrow, the Vikings play Cheney. It is a game of vital importance. Being played away from home will make it doubly difficult to win. Nothing could help the team more than to know that every student is urging them on, expecting them to do their best, fighting with them even though they are four hundred miles away. A GOOD START This year's "yell squad"looks encouraging. A much better start has been made than was last year; But the job ahead for the leaders and students to make a creditable showing next game and to be ready for Homecoming is big.. It will require a maximum of effort from the squad and as hearty a co-opertion from the rest of us. It has been suggested that a pep squad of some fifteen or twenty people be organized to Work with the Yell Leaders in planning an effective program for the gamesj and to help in executing them. The idea sounds worth while. It will be a big task for three people to superintend .the Homecoming serpentine arid the -other bigger features of the festivities. Aid from a small squad of pepsters who will know just what js supposed to be done, would be helpful.

Then an end run by ^Thompson put the ball where only a short pass by Hawkings to Armstrong sent the ball across Haw- ; kings failed to add the extra point when his kick went low. This ended all hostilities. Seattleites Hold in Third "It was only in this third quarter that the West Seattle men were able to keep the Vikings from scoring. Van .Erickson was the big man in Seattle defense, taking his post as flanking full. Time and time again he stopped Viking plays before they were off. He also was a tower of ^strength on the offense, being the , lt; gt;nly man, seemingly, who was .able to penetrate the husky Normal line. "•••-.Jiiist before the third period ended, nlfeanEdmundson recovered the ball for lt; the; Vikings on West Seattle's 30-yard line.

Armstrong finally took the ball across for another six points. Normal' failed to convert ;the extra point; \. This ended all hostilities 1 for; a while on the part of Bellingham. The Vikings barely, averted a touchdown or rather Leri Oliver did for his own team, when he took a long pass and ran across goal line, but on the way down he had stepped outside to avoid a Viking tackier, so". the ball was taken back on the Viking's 10-yard line. It "was here the Vikings held, putting up a stubborn defense, v The small crowd went frantic when Hamilton caught a pass and raced 80 yards to the goal line, but he too had stepped outside so the ball was called back.- Nevertheless the crowd got the thrill but of that long run. Armstrong Breaks Loose Armstrong broke loose then for his long run which set everyone in a frenzy. It was not only his pretty foot work but also the rhythmic blocking of his team mates'. He evaded would-be tacklers and ran the 70 yards for another six points. This ended the Viking scoring, the game ending 31 to 0. Towards the last of the game, West' Seattle started a passing attack which brought the ball on Bel-lingham's one-yard line, but he're the Vikings put up their characteristic fight and held West Seattle in practically the same place for four successive downs.

Who shall reign supreme? Indications point toward a Bellingham victory tomorrow but Cheney will possibly have some surprises for their visitors. There are two men on the football team that wear an eleven shoe.

We wish him the best of luck. * « *' * Coach Sam Carver has on his squad four husky tackles that at any time can be sent into the fray and make due account of themselves.' They are big, fast, have the fight, and are in the heat of the battle all the time. Why admiring Don Stickney all the time, Swede? "Swede" is jealous, -that's all that is the matter with him. Where, oh, where were all the Normal students last Saturday afternoon. Possibly, a, lot of these book fiends were too low to come out in~% the fresh air for a couple hours to cheer their team on to victory... The Vikings need each and everyone's hearty support, and so when the next home game comes, the Bellingham Normal student body should be represented 100%. .Jf you must study, take your books along with you next time. This goes for the faculty, too. ": * * * . * Why not have a little " advance writeup in the local papers about our football games ? You wouldn't know there was a Bellingham Normal by reading the local papers. The Normal needs the help of the townsmen and the townsmen need us, so a little cooperation from now on will be appreciated. Thank you.

The Laboratory of Science at the Bellingham State Normal School has been greatly improved by the addition of new fixtures. Through the work and assistance of ; the school carpenters the work is .practically finished, except for a few minor details. _ . ••.-..} ;;:'.'•';•;,'• - New fixtures consist of tables, which have good solid? birch tops,; while the legs and underneath part are made of sturdy oak. An acid proof paint is used to coat the top part, while the lower part is stained and varnished. The table is equipped with electric light fixtures of the most modern type, in order that microscopes- may be used at the tables. There are two hew demonstration tables with lead lined sinks, electric, gas and water fixtures as well as large drawers. There is one large" table entirely built like a sink and lined with lead for purposes of Nature Study, etc. The Science department was in great need of this improvement. "Last year," Miss Sundquist, one ^of the} Science teachers, stated, "We were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, because of oldness of what equipment "we had. Thus the new modern equipment is very highly prized and anyone -found 'to be purposely marring or defacing the new tables will be subject to a severe punishment. o : ", Philos Elect New \ Members After Lively Try-out Nineteen new members Were taken into the.

If I'm not mistaken, the thing was begun during the winter quarter of last year and has dragged along ever since, with no' end in sight... Now, they have decided on a definite date on which to end it, but pay no attention to that—they have been going to break it off before. Have any songs been submitted? Are the judges ever going to judge them? Or are there any judges? And when will the prizes be awarded? Probably, after the winners have all died, of old age. Let's have it over with. W. S. N. S. In addition to the song contest, we now have a yell contest. One would be quite safe in predicting a long life for this, too, I think. And that's too bad, for we are in sore need of a few more yells. All that we have are rotten—copies of those of other schools. Just one good yell of our own would help a lot. W. S. N: S. ONE CANNOT DENY THAT THINGS ARE LOOKING UP, THOUGH OUR PEP BAND HAS ALL THE PEP IN THE WORLD AND ONE CAN OFTEN RECOGNIZE THE TUNE IT IS PLAYING. THAT'S SOMETHING, SURELY. W. S. N. S. I have been reading a book by Ripley entitled: "Believe It or Not". I t is interesting—and rather startling, too. I discovered, among other things, that our first President was John Hansen ,of Maryland, not George Washington. Also, that one of our little known presidents, David Rice Atchison, slept through his entire term of office. W. S. N. S. Ripley nominates for the title of ^'The Luckiest Man in the World", Capt. J. H. Hedley, of the British Air Service, who was thrown from a plane during an aerial combat at a height of about 15,000 feet, and, alighting on the tail of the same machine several seconds later, was Tescued. W. S. N. S. Says Anatole France: "Those who read many books are like the eaters of hashfish. They live in a dream. The subtle poison that penetrates their brain renders them insensible to the real world and makes them the prey of terrible or delightful phantoms. Books are the opium of the Occident. They devour us. A day is coming on which we shall all be keepers of libraries and that will be the end. ~ * (asterics) * Today, through study, we are hastening toward general, paralysis." •* He can't be talking about us, can he? W. S. N. S. I can't help feeling relieved, now that the turmoil in the stock market has subsided... For a while nobody talked about anything else. Walking up to an average group of Normal students and listening to their ex-citey conversation, one might have supposed himself among heavily involved investors, not impecunious pedanls-to-be. W. S. N. S. Winter is coming—perhaps it is already here. At any rate the days are getting cooler and the nights and mornings are downright cold (particularly the mornings). So, I guess I'll declare it winter and make it official by writing home for my woolen underwear. '——-W. S. N. S. The prof, it seems, had this notice inscribed on his blackboard: "Mr.— will meet his classes here 9:00 Monday." When he returned from a moment's absence from class he found that the "c" had disappeared from classes."- He viewed the changed notice in a moment's dismay, then pursed his lips and removed the'l" also. SEMI-FINALS FOR EXTEMPO TO BE HELD Fourth Annual Extemporaneous Speaking Contest Will Be Held in the Assembly, December 6. PRELIMINARIES, DEC. 2 Rules and General Topics Will Be Posted on Main Bulletin Board Next Monday, Says Authority. The fall semi-finals of the fourth annual extemporaneous speech contest will be held Friday, December 6, in the regular assembly. Six contestants selected by the judges in the preliminaries on December 2, will appear before the students on this date. These contests are held every fall, winter, and spring quarter, and the two judged the best out of each 'quarter appear in the finals in the spring. The winner of this "has his or her name engraved on a silver loving cupjtept for this purpose. Rules to be Posted The rules for the contest, and the general topics which may be used, will be posted on the bulletin board next Monday. The contestants have the privilege of choosing the general topic that they wish to discuss, and then shortly before they speak, special phases of that topic will be given them to talk about. Mr. James Carrell, of the Speech department, announces that any students who wish to enter may do so by leaving their names at the Speech office, on the third floor. Interesting In Past In the past this affair has aroused considerable interest among the students, and a large turnout is expected this quarter. The contest was first introduced into this school by Miss Alma Madden in 1927, to take the place of formal debates. It was thought that this would be more appropriate for people training to be teachers, since they need to be able to talk fluently without notes in their class rooms. The winners in the past who have had their names placed on the cup are: June Wetherell, for-1927; Margaret Hill, for 1928; and Joy Eft-land, for 1929. The committee in charge of the contest will select the judges, and also the general and special topic that will be offered. o President C. H. Fisher Returns Tomorrow President C. H. Fisher will return home tomorrow evening from- an extended two-weeks ' trip to the East. As a representative of the National Council of the Y.-M. C. A. from Idaho and Washington, he spent a delightful week in Chicago, formulating plans and discussing means for the betterment of the Y. M. C. A.' From Chicago he traveled on to York, Pennsylvania, where he spent a week visiting his relatives and reviving old memories at his boyhood home. ^ o Trip on Yacht Thetis To Be Taken Sunday A yachting trip is planned for next Sunday on the yacht "Thetis". This trip is open for anyone wishing, to take advantage of this splendid opportunity to see the surrounding scenery of Bellingham Bay. Arrangements have been made to leave the moorage on Chuckanut at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, returning about 5 o'clock in the evening. The charge will be one dollar, which includes dinner. Those going have been requested to sign the notice on the bulletin board. c „ | , . , im—an " " " " " •" '" "' • "V I GRADUATES TAKE NOTICE! j T. .

The committees are working hard to put over the biggest event on the Normal's social register this fall. They ask for the co-operation of the men in buying their tickets early as the alumni are also applying for tickets. Music by Barney The music will be furnished by Barney's Orchestra from Sedro- Woolley. It is one of the best known orchestras in the state, having played most of its dances in Seattle,' Mount*Vernon, and Bellingham. o — DRIVE FOR CHARITY PURPOSES WILL BE LAUNCHED TUESDAY Annual Community Fund Campaign Will Start Activities This Week. Goal of $63,200 to be Reached. Wear Rabbit's Foot To Sophomore Party EMINENT NEW YORK BARITONE IS BOOKED FOR SONG RECITAL HERE C. H. FISHER AT HEAD The Community Fund association plan to start their drive next Tuesday, November 12. They hope to have their'budget of $63,200 all collected within the next week. . The idea of the community fund is to make one big drive each year to raise money for all charitable activities and community responsibilities. There are thirteen activities in all to be attended to. The Budget allows a sum to be sent to the Children's Home in Seattle, where orphans from Bellingham are sent. Most of the money goes for Bellingham work, however. Needs Cared For Character building institutions such as the Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A., etc., receive their share of the money. No social needs are overlooked. Poor children, destitute families, and all other unfortunates are taken care of. % Fisher President Aside from the Budget Committee there are two other important groups. President C. H. Fisher is president of the community fund and he is assisted by a group of twelve who compose the board of directors. There is also a group of representative men and women of Bellingham that comprise the Citizen's Committee. hTis is made up of about twenty-five members who are active in the drive. The Publicity Committee is headed by Mr. H. E. Fowler, Mr. Pela-gius Williams is chairman of the Red Cross Roll Call of the Fund, Miss Adele M. Jones is a member of Visiting Nurse's Association. Dean James A. Bever is on the Board of Directors of City Missions, and Miss Delia Keeler is in charge of the Faculty station. o Work on the 1929 souvenir football programs is nearing completion, and the booklets will be on sale November 15 and 16. The programs consist of thirty-two pages, and will outwardly resemble a regular football in shape and color. They are planned mainly for the purpose of supplying interesting information about the Homecoming football game with Ellensburg Normal, to be played on November 16. Manyr Illustrations Within the programs will be cuts of the respective presidents, coaches, and assistant coaches of Bellingham Normal and Ellensburg Normal, cuts of the two opposing football captains, and quarter-page cuts of all the members of our own team, snapped in characteristic poses. Complete description of both teams will be included in the makeup of the booklets, and also a "dope sheet", which will give the results of all past games between the two schools. • - The editors, Don Stickney and Jack Gudmundson, have striven to make the 1929 programs both attractive in appearance and complete with all the necessary features of a conventional souvenir football program. ;"; .-•..' August Werner, eminent New York baritone, will be presented in a recital of selected songs in the regular asembly on next Tuesday, November 12. He is in the course of a nation-wide concert tour, the first one he has ever made that included the Pacific Coast. Norwegian by Birth Mr. Werner is.a Norwegian by birth, but has received all his vocal training and most of his education in the United States. His repertoire includes songs in German, • Norwegian, and English, and his usage of all three languages has been highly commended. He has spent the past several years in the presentation of concerts and recitals in New York City.

E L E V E N Y E A R S A GO Just eleven years ago next Monday—It was then that the long wished for peace was granted, that the unjustified conflict among nations ended and it was then that the cheers of our homesick doughboys were heard in nearly every tiny French village or in front-line encampment. Armistice day holds more meaning for us than merely a half holiday from routine work, it brings back vivid memories, most of them sad and heartbreaking. Still, as most historians declared, the great war was inevitable, let us be thankful that it is over with. There are historians who say that world peace will never be available; there are pacificts that declare that world peace is nearly upon us—that it will come to stay. There are so many seemingly flawless, arguments, that what can we dare to say? What can we say that will not be a quotation from some one? Some things of which we are certain, are the facts that the World War is past, that we are living in an age of comparative peace, and that we of the younger generation will be the ones to promote the good will among all nations and to work for the maintenance of world peace. Armistice day revives not only the sad memories of the bygone struggle, but also serves as a reminder, a stimulator to each and every citizen of the United States to help prevent other wajrs by pr6moting the eternal peace and understanding among all the nations of this globe upon which we humans thrive and live. S O P H O M O R E S P L A Y T O M O R R OW Superstition comes into its own tomorrow night in the big gym at the Sophomore quarterly party. Although Hallowe'en is past, mystery, superstition and sinister happenings will invade the dance. In case some of the Freshmen girls are unaware of the fact, we would warn them in all sincerity not to "crash the gates"! but to the Sophomores and A L L the men of the school, we would say, "Get ye to the party". It is a hectic break for the Frosh girls, but of course "every dog has his day". VIKINGS EXPANDS FOR A DAY! In honor of Homecoming, the NORTHWEST VlKING will be issued next Friday with six pages. Not since last year at this time, has the VlKING appeared with six news sheets. The center section will contain' not only news and feature articles, but will have pictures of the surrounding country, campus, buildings and individuals. '-:•' «It is felt that all club and house reporters as well as the regular VlKING scribes, will co-operate with the editors in such a way as to give •our subscribers not only a paper of news value but also a souvenir of our annual Homecoming celebration. CONTEST CLOSES NEXT TUESDAY Homecoming is just one week away—and the VlKING yell contest closes November 12. We need some good, snappy yells for the big Homecoming game with Ellensburg. Cheney beat us and Ellensburg swamped Cheney. Certainly we need them! Sit down sometime this week-end and think out a couple of yells and turn them into the NORTHWEST ViKING office, room 205. You may tye'the one to win the big prize of $2.50. A N D N O W T H E S U P E R V A R S I TY Today the Viking football squad meets the University of Washington Super Varsity at Seattle. The second string men of the varsity, according to all plausible rules and regulations, should be a harder team to beat than the Frosh were last Saturday, however, as has been shown by past* experiences, dope ^buckets are the easiest things in the world to upset, and therefore no predictions will be forth coming. iY'.;:But, if our team has the same fighting spirit, the same skill, speed and power that they displayed in the Frosh game last Saturday, it will be yjust?another victory added to our list. | J f e EDUCATION SACRED? OUI, O U I! i ^Although the Normal is sincerely disappointed in being unable to ^secure an hour of President M. Lyle Spencer's time, we can at least if review some of the statements made by the University of Washington £ president at other local organizations. ?|?ferPr. Spencer said that to him education was sacred, and he felt that ^ i t ; must be held sacred by the state and the nation if the nation is to sur- ^yive as a democratic institution. # i f j | £ " In a democracy," said Dr. Spencer, "it is fundamental that the ^people from the highest to the lowest have all the education it is possible ||fbfethem to have." S§?Y'Certainly, education is hotpnly sacred to Dr. Spencer but to us as well. HAnd the responsibility falls on us as future teachers to instill this idea I^ntp/the heart of die public. pSv^yt least we are doing our part in keeping education "sacred" in both Piffie state and nation and are therefore helping the nation to "survive as ^*£«Y: ;'"'•'• •'•• — '''••' • '• .»»• '•• • • ' ' ' : .. isafdemocratic institution.

He would henceforth devote his life to replenishing the fast falling rubber supply of the world. Edison and Ford snapped him into their service. They were startled at the result. For Pernicious P. Pickle, working-day and night, compounded a magic rubber formula from the necks of clams dug at Birch Bay.

She is the artist pupil of the late Boyd Wells and is known throughout the Northwest as an artist of unusual ability. She was a protege of the Ladies' Musical Club of Seattle, and will go abroad to continue her musical studies in Germany. Former Student Sings Following. Miss Child, Miss Ellen Reep gave a program of vocal selections. Miss Reep, a contralto, was a student at the Bellingham State Normal, a member of the class of 1922, and of the Bellingham Normal quartet. She is at present the guest soloist at the Plymouth church in Seattle, a member of the Aeolian Quartet and of the Orpheon Chorus, in Seattle. Miss Reep has been heard over stations K-O-M-O and K-J-R frequently. / Pep Band Entertains The pep band, organized by Clarence Time, conducted by Jack Mus-ser, gave a peppy performance. Following the opening number "Hail Hail the Gang's All Here" a trio composed of Benny Benthien, banjo; Bobby Tew, banjo, and Clarence Thue, saxaphone and clarinet; gave their interpretation of the "Twelfth Street Rag". — o Training School IS DECIDED SUCCESS Clever, Futuristic Motifs Form a Setting for Dancers at Outside Girl's Informal, «Last Saturday.

IUAD ARE UPSET IKING ELEVEN 20-6 IED BY TRICKY RAYS 'Bellingham Teams Takes an Early Lead by Scoring £h the First Five Minutes of Play, and Then They Kept Ahtfad by Good Defensive Playing and Luclf. The college coaches of the coun try seem to have very decided opin ions in regard to the suggestion of giving football back to the player. A series of articles in the New York Evening Post advocated the system of patting the coaches in the bleachers daring the game, and of putting the authority in the hands of the captain, thereby., developing., more self-reliance in the player. The coaches who have made remarks concerning this, such as Knute Rockne and Gil Dobie, seem to think that it is just an effort on the part of the professors to take away the coaches' power, because of jealousy. They maintain that the players need them on the benches to advise them, and that it is impossible for a Captain on the field to see everything as the coach can from the sidelines. I could hardly believe my ears were telling the truth when I heard music, in the grandstand. This is the first time in ages that a Pep Band has been organized and functioned at this institution. Clarence Thue and Jack Musser are largely responsible for the bringing forward of this pep band. Any fellows in school who can play any instrument ' are asked to get in touch with Jack Musser. He needs you. ....Also, We'd like to hear some new peppy yells from the grandstand, in the Ellensburg game. Write a few and send them in to the Viking. Strange as it may seem, we beat the Prosh. The boys that came up from Seattle had been told that they were to win by two touchdowns, and the disillusionment must have been terrible. Well, we'll get some idea of how we stack up with Ellensburg tomorrow when the Wildcats meet the U. of W. Freshmen. If the Prosh beat them, we will feel pretty good, but if they beat the Frosh, it will be time for us to start worrying. So far, Ellensburg has shown every evidence of having a strong team, and if they beat the Frosh, there will be no doubt about their quality. I still can't bring myself to believe it, bat it must be true... California beat U. S. C. last week... At that rate the University of Washington still has a chance of beating Stanford, Chicago, California, and anybody else who may come along. In other words, you never can tell. The Co-op has just receioed a big shipment of pep caps of all different styles. What do you say We each buy one. Brains vs. Brawn was typified in the football game between the Vikings and the Frosh, Saturday, and the Vikings, representing brains, wiped up Waldo field with the Frosh to the tune of 20 to 6. Bellingham's first touchdown was made within less than five minutes after the start of the game on a series of runs and passes, and two Frosh penalties. The score was made when Erickson tossed the ball to Sherman, who was standing behind the goal line. Ellis place-kicked the try for' point. , Vikings Get Break In the last of the first quarter the Vikings got a great break. The Frosh had made a great 55-yard drive up to Bellingham's five-yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. Then, after Erickson punted from behind his own goal line to the 40- yard mark, Sherman made another march toward the sea when he took the ball from under Quarterback Riser's arm and romped 60 yards to the goal line, unmolested. Freshmen Start This quite evidently aroused the Freshmen's ire, for in the second quarter they opened up with a' series of long passes that put the ball across the goal line. The try for point failed, so the hill-toppers still had a seven-point lead, 13 to 6. I n the last minute of the first half the Blue and White team got about the only tough break they received in the entire game. Iverson caught a pass from Erickson as the gun went off, and ran forty yards across the goal line, only to find that he had stepped out of bounds on the two-foot stripe. The third quarter saw no scoring, although a series of Frosh rushes, led by the big half-back Buse, brought the ball into dangerous territory for the Vikings, on several occasion. An intercepted pass or the stubborn resistance of the Bel-ligham line always stopped them, however. Pass Disastrous The Seattleites had great hopes of tying the score up to the fourth quarter, but when they tried a pass while deep in their own territory, Halfback Flowers, of the Vikings, picked the ball out of the air and sped twenty-five yards to a touchdown. Ellis kicked goal for the extra marker. Ellis Good • Ellis, Viking back, played a whale of a game on the defensive, while Stickney and Brunstad also looked good. Blankenship, regular guard, was out of the game, but Quick filled his shoes capably. As usual, the pass from Erickson to the ends was the big ground gainer, although Cole at full, got his share at the receiving end. Sherman at end, played a great all-round game. Buse, Cherberg, and Schram, of the backfield, were the stars of the Freshman squad. Buse and Schram were strong on line plunging, and Cherberg on passes and punts.

I. At t h e Student Foruin last Sunday evening the movies were discussed from the angle "What are the Movies Doing to Our Ideals and ;Our Morals?" - • : In t he course of the discussion it Was brought out that a study had •been made in an Eastern city of •the relation of the movies to juve- ^nile delinquency and the conclusion -.reached from a study of numerous cases was that there was no relation, the delinquency being the result of other factors. Movies Not Perfect . It was conceded. at once that the movies were far from perfect but that' they had great potential value. Prom that point the discussion naturally led to how the movies could be improved. One noteworthy suggestion was that there should be definite types of movies, some especially suited for children and others especially for adults, rather than trying to make movies with some parts suitable to each, some parts good and some parts bad in an effort to appeal to all classes and ages through a single movie. Another suggestion was for some system of evaluating movies before going to them, since the titles are often misleading and the advertising being, no criterion. Some magazines, notably "The Parent's Magazine" do review and evaluate all the new pictures that are released. Educational Film I The plea was also made for edu- ! cational films to be vital and inter- \ esting and they can be made so, the ; "Chronicles of America" series that was shown last year being an example of that. And finally, it was stated .that there is a need for producers who will sense • these things .and be willing to take a few risks and do a little pioneering. :—Or—— Music Tests Given To Entering Frosh The first series of music tests, which are required of all freshmen entering the Normal, has been completed'. The purpose of these tests is to classify the musical ability of students so that they may be en- . tered in either a beginning or advanced music course according to their proficiency. Students whose last names begin with letters from (A) to (G), inclusive, took the test on November 4, 5, and 6. Students whose last names begin'with letters from (H) to (O) will take it on November 12, 13, and 14, and those from (P) to (Z) on November 18, 19, and 20.

Dr. Osgood has recently returned from a year's sojourn through the interior of Abyssinia as leader of the Field Museum-Chicago Daily News Expedition, and due to the fact that part of t h e country traversed had never before been entered by white men, a great amount of interest has been attached to t he experiences encountered by the members of t he party. The title of the lecture, and its location on what is commonly called the "Dark Continent" lend a decided air of mystery and wonder to the" country known as "unconquered Abyssinia".

DESCRIBES LIBRARY Windows Lead to Use of Roman-esqie Type of Decoiation; Interior Follows in Same Style. r NEW $260,000 LIBRARY BUILDING 1 I By CARL F. GOULD of Bebb and Gould, Architects for the Library There is no problem more stimul a t i n g to an architect than the development of a scheme of buildings for educational institutions. Next t o our governmental buildings they •will remain as evidences for the longest period of time of the cultural att i t u d e of the existing generation carr y i n g out the precepts of our early history, the inherent need for educat i o n as a concomitant of true democracy The early founders of educational institutions in most cases have given considerable thought to the selection of sites as to their convenience, beauty and amplitude for expansion. Has Beautiful Background High above the city with its beautiful wooded background the Trustees in selecting t h e location for the Bellingham S t a t e Normal School, used what has proved to be excellent judgment and by placing the main building well back against the hill permits an ample, apor.tionment of prope r t y to the west, which gives this building a very splendid setting. When we, as architects, were asked •to fei3fiSSp1 lt;*P-^";~c"onijile.te; - wiirtpj i a-4 gt;hui, with one of its plijects theTselection of • a. s i t e for rthe new library building, it -was quite obvious that the creation of a quadrangular enclosure would not only help to enhance the present building but would provide an excellent setting for a new library building, both from the point of view of its artistic relationship to the group as a whole and for convenience of access t o what building now exists and to what may be added in the fut u r e . It seemed to us quite obvious t h a t the character of architecture of the main building which in itself gives an impression of simplicity and dignity should not be contradicted by whatever building was to be brought into relationship with it. Windows Carefully Planned The circular form of the. large window openings on the west facade gave to it a character or style which might be characterized as b e i n g . au adaption of Romanesque. ' This architecture prevailed in the l l t h century in Europe, an outgrowth from the architecture of imperial Rome and a precursor of what came to be known in the Kith century as Gothic style. It was a 'type of design which found acceptance in many splendid buildings in this country, notably the Harvard Law School and T r i n i t y Church, Boston, designed by Mr. Richardson one of the greatest architects of this country. The style evolved into a form which finds expression in such a building as the Boston Public Library, by Charles McKim which was built in 18!)8 and is still considered the most outstanding library building in this country in its beauty of design. Design Justified In designing the new library building, therefore, we felt fully justified in carrying out the spirit of the present main building by preserving its type and adapting it to the special requirements of/"the problem. This met the apro/fal of President Fisher and the Board of Trustees. It was found that by accepting t h i s type of architecture t h a t . it would permit of building with the greatest economy in the construction and employment of materials. The large, windows allow ample light to the general reading room. The opportunity therefore for obtaining an effective exterior was in proportioni n g of the mass and the relation and size of the window openings giving slight ornamentation to the band courses and cornice detail and by (Continued on P»f» Two) Audience of 800 Hears Dr. James I. Wyer Deliver Address and a Tribute to Miss Mabel Wilson. The Library, Which was formally dedicated Tuesday afternoon with an address by Dr. James I. Wyer, New York State Librarian, ranks as one of the outstanding school libraries of the country, and is expected to bring Bellingham Normal wide recognition. With 100,000 Volume Capacity Building Complete In Every Way General Reading Room on Third Floor to be Known as the Intellectual Work'Shop of This Institution; Work Rooms and Offices to be Provided for Staff. The building is a fireproof structure and consists of a basement and two floors. An elevator and book lift serve each floor. In the basement is the mechanical plant, a receiving room for books, a check room for wraps, lavatory rooms for men and women and a rest room for women. On the first floor is a children's reading room, a reserved book and periodical room, a faculty reading room, a conference room, and a staff rest room. The stacks for books begin on the first floor and extend to the top of the second floor. Offices On Second Floor On-the second, floor is the delivery hall where are located the catalogue and the charging desk and nearby are « work room and the offices of the Children's Room Library Feature The significance and weight of the Children's Library in a normal school is well brought out in the conspicuous placement in the new library building. On the right-hand side as one enters the front door is found a spacious, interesting room, given over to children's literature. Very few normal schools have such a library even though they may be erecting new buildings in which to house such a unit. Arrangement of Room Since the school is trying to provide an inspirational, cultural, workroom for the children, the entire room is constructed with that idea in mind. A coincidence has been noted in the fact that this room corresponds almost exactly to t h a t in t h e Pittsburgh Carnegie library. Everything in the room has been placed to accommodate the students, t o present the essentials of literat u r e to the children, ••mid" to invite study. In relation to the types of books are arranged the three sizes of tables for children of the primary and pre-primary age, intermediate and grammar grades. One large flat-top table, in contrast to the •slant-topped study tables, is being reserved to display rare books, maps, charts, special editions and collections. Upon entering the main door of the. children's library, on the left is the charging desk and back of this a . s y s t em of shelves for reserve books for English, 18-19-21. Beneath the desk are shelves that will accommodate office equipment. The head children's librarian has charge of the classes in Children's Literature and in league with these are the s t o r y t e l l i n g hours and dramatization lessons for students'in. the t r a i n i n g school. • LIBRARY FIRST UNIT OF NORMAL PLANS Twenty-five Year Program Calls For Physical Education Building as Next Step in Construction. head librarian, the cataloguer and the reference librarian. Opening from the delivery hall is the large general reading room which has a seating capacity of three hundred. The. total seating capacity of the building is five hundred. The book capacity of the building is a hundred thousand volumes and provision has been made that will make it possible to add wings to the building to ini.-rea.se the capacity for future needs. The building is designed in the Romanesque style of architecture to harmonize with the main building. Is Professional Library The library is mainly a reference and professional library for teachers with a. comprehensive collection of books on subjects related to a liberal education. Students are introduced to the library through a course in library instruction, which aims to develop the technique of using the tools of the library. Students begin their work in the reserved book and periodical room, where are found the lK gt;oks t h a t instructors require to be read and where current magazines and newspapers are accessible. The general reading room makes provision for an advanced technique on the part of the students. Here there is a laboratory of twenty thousand books on open shelves that are accessible at all times. Students find here the books that they need for problems t h a t have grown out of class work. The aim is to develop in students a technique for independent work t h a t makes for intellectual growth and at the same time gives them a valuable technique for teaching. Children's Library The children's reading room provides reading material that is of interest to children and that students are required to know to meet; the needs of children. The children from the Training School will use this room as well as the students. The pi;6nii-nent location of the children's reading room is meant to symbolize j j y ^ iJ the school primarily standa gfefor/ namely, the preparation'".- of teachers for children. Tlte completed^llb^rary stands si's' the first representative of a building program that will require from twenty to twenty-five- years for com-, plete realization. The campus plans for t h a t time are drawn, but are subject to revision. Now that the Normal books have a new home, attention is already being turned to the. next unit of the program, a physical education building. President Fisher has been authorized to get C. !i. Bebb and C. F. Could, Seattle architects, to draw preliminary plans. A great number of things must be done before the. building is realized. At the Sports Luncheon last Saturday, President Fisher stated in his address. "I shall be disappointed if the legislature of •lanuary, 1D2S). docs not make appropriations for this physical education building."' "Improvements are now being made on the newly purchased land across Normal Drive from the present athletic field. When completed it will be the men's athletic field, and Waldo field will be given over to the girls' athletics. The rest of the program will unfold in the order in which the greatest need arises. Perhaps attention will be turned to a Student Union building which might include provisions for a recreation hall, club rooms, student organization offices, lobby, men's lounging room, women's lounging room, and maybe a. light-lunch counter. These speculations approach t h e ideal. F u t u r e extensions are planned to include a training school west of the library, thus removing the younger students from the older ones, yet keeping both units on the campus. An added" inspiration may be a chimes tower, located near Ed ens Hall. All these additions are tent a t i v e and may be revised if greater need arises. Nevertheless, it is a living and growing schedule, t h e library showing its first determined forward step. . ; Miss Wilson Describes Library From Beginning of 800 Volumes First Library Opened in 1898 With Small Quarters Has Steady Record of Growth in Size and Content.

It is unnecessary here to say anything about the building, for we know it cannot anywhere be surpassed; it leaves nothing to be desired. But it is still somewhat of a question as to what use we will make of it. We are proud of our library, but do we realize what our responsibilty becomes with its opening ? We now have a library that is adequate for our needs in every respect. And if we make the proper use of it, it cannot help being easily our greatest asset. If, in the future, it becomes a real center of school life; if it occupies the position it rightfully should occupy; if it takes its place as a real temple of learning, then may we say, that we have realized our responsibility, and that our'library has become a moulder of human lives.

IN THE BEGINNING MISS PARR TO WED • The engagement of Miss Gladys K. Parr, daughter of Air. and Mrs. R. A. Parr, of this city, to Mr. William C. Hanawalt, Jr., son of Mr. W. C. Hanawalt, of Bakersfield, California, was announced at a charming bridge party given by Miss Parr, at her home, -on Cornwall avenue, Monday evening, June. 4. A group of her most intimate friends from the Normal school, where Miss Parr is employed as secretary to the Dean of Women, were present. Four tables of bridge were in play. At a late hour dainty refreshments were served by the hostess. Decorations were carried out in a color scheme of pink and white, the news of the engagement being concealed in a large, white wedding bell, hanging from the chandelier. With pink and white streamers extending from the bell to baskets of roses, a beautiful» centerpiece for each table, was formed. Tiny rose petal baskets at each place, and rose petal shades on the lights added to the color note of the occasion. The date for the wedding has not been set, but it will take place some time in the early fall. GOULD EXPLAINS LIBRARY PLANNING W- b y "50 IN Any Cod (Continued from Page One) accentuating and interesting the entrances and by a judicious selection of tile for the roof. Pattern work in brick, which is characteristic of the Romanesque, permits of creating surface interest with the minimum economy in cost. Details in Accordance The quaint detail for the entrance capitals, the ornament for the newel posts, auU the other abstract ornament used throughout the building is in no way an archaeological copy but suggested by the simpler abstract ornament characterizing the Romanesque period of architecture and falls within the type of detail employed in many of the more modern buildings. The entrance details in addition to the capitals have been studied in order to give an inviting impression through use of gold mosa-sic in the spandrels, and in the detail of the wrought iron door which permits of light entering the main corridor. The panneling detail of the oak doors, the enrichment of the capitals arid ceiling, and the enclosing of the metal door cases are designed with the idea of creating interest in entering the corridor. The terrazzo field of the floor with the mosaic border repeats the design of the bays and widens the impression. The stairway with balustrade designed in stone and ornamented caps is intended to give an effective approach to the Delivery Hall with its high cross vaulted , ceiling sustained at the four corners by columns designed in perhaps a more Byzantine than Romanesque manner. Ample wall space remains for subsequent fresco and wall.decoration as may be deemed desirable at a future date. The pattern work of the floor done in terrazzo and marble tile is characteristic of the Romanesque work and suggestions of similar character can be found in some of the Florentine churches. Delivery Hall The Delivery Hall becomes a second floor distributing vestibule to the Charging Desk, and Stacks, to the- Catalogue Space and Working Offices, Librarian, Secretary, Catalogue, etc., and to the General Reading Room. This room is 45 feet wide by 150 feet long, by 33 feet in height, is lit by large circular headed windows on all four sides 23 feet above floor, there being 17 windows, 10 by 14. feet in glass area. These windows supply light to 30 reading tables seating 10 students each making a total capacity of 300 for this room alone. The decorative effect is obtained by the use of abstract ornament painted directly on the structural ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 June 6 - Page 3 ---------- i?* i^HING^ Viking Sport BASEBALL SEASON ENDS IN VIKING WIN OVER FROSH Thorlakson Holds Babes Down to 'Five Scattered Hits; Errors Aid • Normal in Critical Eighth Inning Spikes .'. Cleats Rackets Ending t l i e 192S baseball season in a blaze of glory Saturday afternoon, on Waldo field, Coach Sam Carver's ball-tossers administered a 3 to 2 beating to Coach "Davie" Davis' University of Washington Frosh, in a game t h a t capped the climax for t he Blue and W h i t e ' s somewhat mediocre season. Neither team was playing exceptionally good ball, with errors appearing quite frequently during the course of t h e game. The score was tied at nothing all imtil the l a s t of t h e seventh inning when the Vikings came thru with two runs. In t he first of t h e eighth, the Yearlings, not t o be outdone also came thru with two runs t o t ie the score. In their half of the eighth, the Vikings pushed across another score when Ted Clark smacked a long fly to left field, and t h e fielder, evidently misjudging the ball, let i t go p a s t when the ball was finally retrieved Clarke had slipped around to third; before t h e infielders finally retrieved the pill Clarke slid safely home. The Frosh either had a sudden case of b u t t e r fingers or else were caught napping, for the blow was not worth more than two bases. Sim, the greenies' pitcher, threw down his glove and started walking for t he bench, until he was ordered back on the field. : Sim was wild all t h r u the game, but was able to fan t h i r t e e n of Blue and White hatters and l e t the victors down with seven bingles which nearly all went for extra bases. Thorlakson, tho given poor support, pitched a nice game, letting t he Frosh down with five scattered blows and pitching himself out of several difficulties which errors or poor sup-j »»fe gt;g0fc^liiirf intp..:^; ."

The scrappy Philo baseball team tied the Normal Drugstore boys for first place in the i n t r a m u r a l dhunond league Monday afternoon when they downed their rival club-men, the Vanadis Bragi, 6 t o 1 in an extra-inning tussle. The game was one of t h e best played of t h e year, and was a pitchers battle until the s i x th and final frame, when the Philos went wild and scored four runs to cinch their victory. Both teams opened up, playing airt i g h t ball, and i t was evident from the s t a r t that the outcome would be determined by a few h i t s and several errors t h a t were bound to come. The Philos got the first breaks in t he third, when a walk, by Hale, Bragi pitcher, and two errors, brought home one marker. The fourth saw t he Bragi even the score on one h i t and two errors. This went along finally until the fatal sixth, when hits and errors bunched proved Hale's undoing. Hale and Gudmundson formed the b a t t e r y for t he Bragi-men, with Jewell and McCartin performing for th l i t e r a t i. Few changes have taken place in the standings of either the horseshoe or handball intramurals. • Both leagues have been comparatively inactive, Earl Jewell, assistant athletic director, took first place in both events with Benny Hamilton placing high. The standings for handball are as follows: Jewell, Hamilton Norby, Benson, Carver, Merchant, Durr, Reeves, and Jones. The Horseshoe standings are as follows: Jewell, McCartin, Hamilton, Grim-lnnd, Springsteel, Norby, Arnctt, Reese, Reeves, Kelly, and Jones. In intramural tennis, Hermscn and Erickson, took the doubles title by downing Church and Norby 6-4 and 0-0.

Mr. Fisher is president of t he local chapter of the Red Cross. Over a score of letters were given by t h e W. A. A. to women participating in track, archery, tennis, swimming and baseball, at the AY. A. A. Annual Field Day. Sweaters Awarded A number of white athletic sweaters were presented by Miss Bertha Keller, Women's Athletic supervisor, to those winning over a thousand athletic points, requisites which mean t h a t eacli recipient must have been elected to eight teams. Coach Sam Carver stated yesterday that no letter presentation will he made to any men because of t he fact t h a t the quarter is not over unt i l Thursday: he further states that no order has y e t been sent for l e t t e rs because of a little uncertainty a s to who would be eligible, according to Student Association rulings. Friday's Assembly After the balloting conducted by Dean Edmundson in last Friday's a s sembly, two religious songs were sung by the student body, lead by Miss Slawson, of the Music department. During the remainder of t h e hour, President Fisher complimented the library staff. on the efficiency with, which iheyA removed the books from the old to the new library. Mr. Fisher outlined the position of t he normal's new l i b r a ry in reference to other libraries of the country, and pointed out some of i t s main points in architecture, interior decoration, and general procedure. Mr. Ceorge Moll, of Arlington was a guest Sunday of Miss Lena Reavis. Mr. Moll has j u s t • completed his freshman year at Northwest Pacific Dental College, of Portland. The dedication exercises for the new library were held yesterday afternoon in the Normal Auditorium at two o'clock. The speaker of the day was Dr. James I. Wycr, present director of the New York State Library. His speech was inspiring and well received by t h e audience. A greeting was given by Governor Roland H. Hartley, after the library building was presented by the architects and accepted by Dr. Kirkpatrick. A special mixed chorus of some one hundred voices gave two selections. They were: ''The Heavens are Telling." from "The Creation," by Cilbert Purcell and Richard Konntz, and '"The American Ode," by Fran/. Josef Haydon. The chorus was accompanied by ait orchestra. Besides accompanying the chorus, t he orchestra played "French Military March,' by Saint-Saens. Both the chorus and the orchestra were under the direction of Mr. Harold B.

After the exercises, some student guides directed the guests on an ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 June 6 - Page 4 ---------- M S: WASHINGTON S T ^E ;llext Year's Musical Artists' Course Has Outstoicling Singeii MUSICAL ARTISTS 1 FEATURtVOCALISTS (By MAKY HTONKR) Four vocal and two instrumental programs will comprise the Musical Artists' Course offered by the Bellingham Normal and the Women's Music Club during the 1928-29 season. Two of the vocalists will be making their second visit to Bellingham, Louis Graveure, who sang here three years ago, and Florence Austral, Nvho was an outstanding success on the past season's program. The concert season will begin in November with Kathryn Meisle, contralto. She is described as one of the finest of the artists of the Chicago Civic Opera company. Critics concede her one of the most powerful and flexible contralto voices in the world. Two-Piano Concert Unusual Feature As unusual and interesting a musical program as Bellingham has had in the past two years is expected when Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, conceded by many critics to give the best two-piano concerts yet heard in this -century, appear. They have brought the two piano concert to a place of its own in the musical world. I t is no longer an unique feature of piano recitals. It is a concert in its own right. Louis i'Graveure, who follows, is already dear to the music lovers of Bellingham. He appeared here three years ago as a baritone soloist who has since been remembered and spoken of as one of the best of visiting vocalists. This year he is coming as a tenor—a tenor Avhose voice is mentioned in comparison to Sehipa's and Johnson's. The people who heard him before are looking forward to his concert with eagerness and curiosity. Famous Quartet Coming , One of the world's most famous chamber music ensembles, the London String quartet, will appear early in the new year. Throughout Europe and the United States these musicians have played for capacity audiences whose applause demanded encore after encore. Eminent critics have said that they have perfect technique plus rare feeling. Bellingham has had no chamber music for the past three years and it is certain to welcome this superlative organization. Still more rare will be the appearance of a male quartet of Russians, singing under the name of the Ked-roff quartet. They are hailed as incomparable, and to the many people who claim that male voices are about the most pleasing thing in music, they are expected to be the greatest attraction of the entire course. Miss Austral Returns The last number on the program will be Florence Austral, Australian soprano, who took the place of Mary Lewis on the past season's program. Miss Austral delighted the people of the Normal and of Bellingham and there have been many expressions of a desire for her return. Those who have asked it will be glad to know that it is to happen and that she will be in Bellingham again next spring, to bring the 1928-29 Musical Artists' Course to a close. o MISS WATKINS VISITS Miss Edna Watkins, who was graduated from this school in 1927, was a guest Sunday of Miss Kath-erine Lawrence and Miss Alice White. Miss Watkins has just completed a year's teaching in Centralia. Miss Margaret Twiss spent the week-end at her home near Lynden. NEW LIBRARY (Continued irom Page One) usefulness it makes possible. Monument "This building in which we so heartily rejoice today, is, I surmise, a monument first to Miss Wilson, and then to her sound and able library policy steadily pursued for twenty-five years and able seconded by her associates in the government and teaching personnel of this school. And in our president, Dr. Fisher, she has found first among four presidents with whom she has worked, a warm sympathy with library policies and a prevailing potency with those who hold the purse-strings of your young giant of a state." Prefacing his address with the argument that the nation which sinks battleships and dedicates libraries, is headed in the right direction, Dr. Wyer made some interesting comparisons between what he called the world's fifteen decisive battles and as many "more decisive books." Lauding books, he held that even as means of protection, they are more potent than warships. Books, he said, are more gentle, yet more persuasive than the thundering ship of war; books appeal to reason and the finer qualities of life, whereas armies and navies appeal to force, brutality and slaughter, he went on. One can imagine a world devoid of engines of war, Dr. Wyer declared, but who, he inquired, can fancy a bookless world without shrinking in honor and dismay at the thought? In conclusion, he visualized books as bringing knowledge, inspiration and joy, and a battling world as producing debt, death, destruction and pain. Moving of Library Done in Record Time (Continued From Page One) the children's library. There are four tiers in all, each tier holding 1500 1 books. General Reading Room on Third Floor I On the upper floor is the large general reading room, 45 feet wide, 150 feet long and 30 feet high. The beams across the ceiling weigh 19 tons each. Three hundred students I can comfortably be seated in this room. There are 30 tables, each seating 10 people, 5 on each side. President Fisher states that "this . room is intended for a laboratory I where students may come with their problems from the class room to woi'k them out with the aid of the 20,000 books now on the shelves." He further says that "this room shall be known as the 'intellectual work shop of this institution'." j Main Charging Desk in Hall j At the top of the stairs on the , third floor is the delivery hall. To the right is the main charging desk. 1 On the left are the offices of Miss I Mabel Zoe Wilson, head librarian, i and Miss Wilson's secretary, Miss i Lillian George, cataloguer; and Miss .

The material selected for the issue this quarter, met with instant approval from many of the students and it was said to be quite up to the high standard of past issues. This is the fourth quarter that the Red Arrow has been issued. Features this time include a story, "Prizes," by Dorothy Legg; "Free, Free Verse," by Jane LEveque; a bit of comedy entitled "Ali Booboo", by Barney Chichester; "Winter Trees," by Grace Metcalf, and "Small Boat Philosophy," by Don Keith. The issue was edited by Irene Schagel, while Lynn Hughes managed the business end of the affair. Efficient Management of the Book Moving Situation Credited to Miss Mabel Wilson wraps and also in connection with this room is the check room for the convenience of students who desire to check their belongings. The receiving room is on this floor, where new books are received, unpacked and delivered to their respective places by the aid of book lifts.

Then these were taken to the southern part of the Normal and lowered to the bottom' floor. A small truck carried them from there to the new building, where the books were unloaded and put in place.

COURSES CHANGED "resident Fisher Says That Present Student Body Is Best in Tears. With more than 950 students expected to be registered in the Normal school by the end of the week, Presiden C. H. Fisher Wednesday stated that the work of the first week had been "very satisfactory", and that the same term might be used in speaking of the registration, both actual and prospective, which was. to be completed by Wednesday afternoon. At the time of the interview, more than 400 freshmen, entering first quarter work, remained to be registered. The registration this quarter is about fifty more than it was during the fall quarter, 1927. Actual figures as to the number of students who attended the fall term last year were not available from either the president or the registrar, but it was stated by Mr. Fisher that the number approximated 9J)0, which means that the present enrollment exceeds that of last year by half a hundred students. Sophomores Registered Monday Registration of sophomores, third and fourth year students, and second and third quarter freshmen was completed Monday and Tuesday, with the registration system proving to be one of the most efficient ever used in the school. The first week of school was designated by the President of the school, as it has been designated for the last two years, as "Freshman Opening Week," and a special program of events was built around the central motive of introducing the freshmen to the school so that the work of the institution might progress smoothly throughout, with a long period of adjustment eliminated. Frosh Assemblies Are Held To accomplish this end, two fresiimen assemblies took place the first day, with President Fisher, and other members of the faculty and officers of' the student body addressing the incoming students on their duties as freshmen and upon the rules and traditions of the school. Monday night was featured with a special program given for all students, while the traditional first week mixer took place at the armory Tuesday night. On Wednesday the registration of the freshmen was to be completed, the classes were to start for these students Thursday morning. The student body was character- Eight changes have been made this fall quarter in the faculty of the Normal school. Lucy Kangley has assumed the place of Miss Olive Edens in the English department. Miss Edens has taken a leave of absence for an, extended tour of the Orient and other parts of the World. Mr. Oscar O. Winther will teach the classes of Edward Arntzen in the Social Science department. Mr. Winther comes from the Mt. Vernon Junior College in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Mrs. Edna T. Barker will continue the work of Miss Maude Slawson in Public School Music, and Helen S. Dozier, graduate of Mill's College and instructor at the Miss Harker's Private school for girls, at Palo Alto, California, will take the position of Miss Bertha Keller in the Women's Physical Education department. Cecile Evans on leave from Terre Haute, Indiana, but recently of New York City is the new Librarian of Children's literature held formerly by Barbara Dixon Ewell who resigned this summer. I n the training chool three new instructors are engaged. E. Wilma Trent taking the place of Anna J. Peterson as supervisor in City Schools is from- the University of Iowa. Calista Miller and Jessie H. Merchant succeed Miss Mary Cole and Miss Ruth Van Pelt, both resigned as training school teachers in the Sixth and Seventh grades respectively.

Three members of the faculty who enjoyed an interesting summer abroad were, Miss Margaret McKinnon, Miss Orpha McPherson and Miss Anna Ullin. First they spent ten days seeing the sights of Paris. Miss Ullin then went to Oxford where; she took a three week's course. Upon the completion of this course Miss Ullin went as far south as Spain.

The armory arrayed in school colors was the scene of the first function of the Normal's social year. The traditional good-time was carefully planned by Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, and Miss Kathleen Skal-ley of the faculty, Eldred Bechtel and Roy Arnett, student managers. Seasonal refreshments consisting of cider and doughnuts, and the music by Hennes' Racqueteers rounded out the program which featured two comic races both of which were won by the freshmen class. * Leslie Sanford representing the Sophs, and Harry Darby, the frosh kept the spectators in an uproar for a quarter of an hour when they attempted to outrun each other in a kiddy-kar race around the armory floor. Immediately following frosh victory, President C. H. Fisher presented Darby with a "gift" on behalf of the Student's association. The^ latter part of the intermission was spent watching a balloon race performed by four boys of each class.. The frosh by strategy were able to win this final event also. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. _o Girls Meet Frosh, Help in Registration, Big Sisters Named On behalf of the faculty I am glad to extend a hearty welcome to every student who is enrolled this fall. This school opened for students in the fall of 1889, consequently We are entering upon our 30th year. The school is young in years and tries to keep young in spirit and outlook. I believe that the school never opened under more favorable conditions. The personnel and ability of the faculty never were better. PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER The courses of study which were reorganized a few years ago are now in full operation. The school activities outside of the classroom in student organizations, sports and athletics, social life, lectures, music, and dramatics are, well planned to meet the needs of all students. The new library has already proved to be a great asset to our school equipment. The'school buildings as a whole Were never in better condition. I welcome students to all thai we have and all that we are and I welcome students for what you are and for what you desire to become. It is my sincere wish that each student will enter into the school life with a full spirit of cooperation so that We may have an outstanding year in the history of the school. C.H. Fisher, President.

The dating of the elections was decided in the first meeting of the Board of Control held this year, which took place late Thursday afternoon. Announcement of the election was to be made in today's assembly, arid petitions for nominations will be posted Monday. Vice President Post Is Opened The position of vice president of the student body became vacant with the resignation of Edwin Benedict, who did not return to school this fall. \ The term is now two quarters. The other student representative will serve a term of four quarters, and is to succeed Stanley Thompson, whose term expired at the end of the summer quarter.

(Continued on Pagei Three) Probably one of the finest musical artists courses ever to be offered by the Bellingham State Normal school is scheduled to take place here this fall according to the present plans of the school administration Four vocal and two instrumental concerts will comprise the course which is offered by the Normal school and the Women's Music club for the 1928-1928 season. Two of the vocalists will make their second appearance in Bellingham: Louis Graveure and Florence Austral. Graveure appeared here during the 1925-1926 season, and Miss Austral was a member of last year's course, coming here in April, 1928. One of the most unusual and interesting musical programs to be given in Bellingham for some time will take place this fall when Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, conceded by many critics to be the best two-piano performers heard this century, appear here. The season will open on November 1st with the concert of Kath-ryn Meise, contralto from the Chicago Civic Opera company. She will be followed by Graveure Nov. 7th, and Maier and Pattison, Nov. 23. One of the world's most famous chamber ensembles, the London string quartet, will appear Feb. 26. Next a group of Russans singing under the name of the Kedroff Quartet will appear March 5. Miss Austral who proved so successful in concert here early this year, will close the course on April 2nd. Graveure is already dear to the hearts of local concert goers, having appeared here three years ago as a\ baritone soloist. Since" that appearance, he has been greatly in demand here, several requests for a reappearance having been received.

How much worry and needless waste . could be eliminated by a few words to the wise—words that will smooth the way and determine success in the institution. It is with this object in view that these suggestions are given. (1) Take a drink of school spirit that will last for two years. (2) Criticize the arrangement of the trees on the campus. Also give a few suggestions as to the library, the athletic field, etc. This will put you in solid with "Prexy". (3) Read Dr. Miller's book "Education for the Needs of Life." At least check it out of the library. (4) Start a campaign for the proper appreciation of football and its players.

Dear Ma Dear Ma: WELL MA, I WOULD HAVE WRIT YOU SOONER ONLY I HAVE BEEN BUSIER THAN A ONE-ARMED PAPER HANGER WITH THE HIVES. I'VE FILLED out more immigration cards than the old man pulls corks on New Year's Eve. First I goes up to a door marked registrar and knocks 3 times. A dame opens the door about an inch and peeps out and says, "WHADA-YA WANT?" just like that. I says, "lady I would like to register. My name is Peter Isuan Pebble." She gives me a stony stare and says, "how do I know your name is Pebble? Now wouldn't that rock ya, Ma? Imagine this saucy frill doubting the word of a Pebble. Well, anyhow, I shows her a letter with my name on it and also the initials in my hat band. Then she turns around and calls into the office and says, "hey, girls, there's a bloke here by the name of Pebble wants to register; how about it? Somebody yells "bring him in" and so she turns and says, "come on Gibraltar, I guess you are O. K. So j went in and got registered. A feller told me later that another •way to get in to register is to just open the door and walk in. And now, Ma, I'm a genuine Raw, Raw boy. My pants is that wide and I got a sweater that looks like the boats they painted durin' the war—all cauliflawged. And say, Ma, they is a swell dame chasin' after me already She sits next to me in Prof. Salisbury's class. Salisbury is a swell guy and I like to hear him talk. Remember that awful thunderstorm we had last winter when the hogs ate up Joe Malty's little brother? Well, that's somethin' like Prof. Saisbury's voice only it ain't quite so soothin'. But, as I was sayin', Ma, about this dame Her mouth is all over her face but her heart's in the right place She's got a nose what tends toward her left ear so as when she puts her hand up to the side of her head I can't tell whether she's gonna blow her nose or whether she's just listening. I guess this is all for this time Ma, since I have got to go down town and buy a ukuleley I'm gonna See-home Hill tonight with that dame with the busted beak. Yours respectively, your son Peter Isuan Pebble. A Question of Weight Is there any social gathering today at which one does not hear, "How many pounds have you lost this week?" "Are you doing your daily dozen?" or "Do you really think I have lost?" Why all the interest? Fat people have never been idealized and people want to be youthful today. Many "lose quick" remedies have been manufactured including ointment which sells for $5 per half pound, but could be duplicated for a few cents by buying ^one-fourth pint of oil of turpentine or vinegar. Some starve and others ; exercise. One-half overestimate. the latter. A certain amount of energy gt; is used up just1 standing: still. Extra- energy is needed for ail forms of .exercise. One-half a calorie extra 'il9r;;iiEu;h:!;^und; a, piersori^cighsV is required for walking one mile at an average rate of speed. Many ' rich sundaes contain 300 to 500 calories and so provide a person weighing 175 to 180 pounds with the extra energy needed for walking 4 to 6 miles. Such a person would have to walk 4 to 5 miles more to walk off the extra energy consumed in the form of a large chocolate bar, one to one and a half miles for a good sized chocolate cream, 5 to 6 miles for a chicken salad sandwich, 3 to 4 miles for a piece of rich cake or pie. .

My Good Man, TAKE ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 5 - Page 3 ---------- EARLY SEASON GAMES CRUCIAL There Will Be Only One Viking Practice Contest v Before Tri- Normal Opening Game. ELLENSBURG IS FIRST OCT. 19 St. Martin's College Will Play in Bellingham Again This Year. Despite the fact that the Viking outlook is far from discouraging, there is a tough schedule awaiting the boys. It starts Saturday, October 13, when the West Seattle Athletic Club invades the local camp. With the Clubbers are several former U .of W. players, so current rumors have it, and a tough game is expected. The following week Normal makes a jump over the mountains to Ellensburg for the first game of the tri-normal series. It will be remembered that the Wildcats won the Viking homecoming game last year, on Waldo Field, by a decisive score. From Ellensburg, the Vikings return home to meet the Cheney Savages in the annual home-coming, on October 27. The Savages will be out to revenge a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Vikings last year St. Martins College Here Nov. 3 Following the home-coming game, St. Martins College comes here on November 3 to avenge a 20-7 trouncing from Bellingham last year. I t will be remembered that the Washington Super-Varsity visited Normal last year and left here with the short end of a 7-6 score. It was a hard fought game, played in snow and ice, mixed with rain and a cold north wind. This year the Vikings tangle with the Super Varsity in Seattle on November 10, and hope to repeat last year's victory. Frosh Coming Here This Year Then last but not least on the schedule is a game here with the Frosh on November 17. This time it will be up to the Vikings to be out. for revenge, as the Frosh defeated the locals last year 13-7. This will be one of the most interesting games this season. The Vikings will need to be on their toes all of the time if they expect to come thru the season triumphantly. o— Lettermen Back Holding their practice behind locked doors the University of Washington is the only school in the Pacific Coast Conference this year that are able to maintain secret practice. The Husky football eleven will work indoors this fall part of the time, while Coach Bag-shaw laughs at rainy weather and rain or shine keeps his men hard at work. Workmen have put the floor of the basketball room in. the University Pavilion in shape for secret "scrimmage and it will be used, for the remainder of the season. p— HOCKEY. VOLLEYBALL AND SOCCER GIVEN Women's Sports Promising. Dancing and Clogging Classes Offered. Briefs _~«-4i (Continued From Page One) end from Ballard High School last year-For tackles there are Iver Moe, hefty Frosh linesman last year, John Cather, two hundred pound lineman who hails from Ari-acortes, and several other prospects. There are fewer guards than one might expect to have, but Bechtel The forecast of women's sports this fall is. promising. This quarter the three organized sports that are stressed are: Hockey Soccer and Volleyball. In addition there is a Sports' class in recreational folk dancing and clogging. This class will be managed like the other sports. The schedule for these activities is: Soccer, Monday and Wednesday and Tuesday and Thursday at three o'clock under Miss Sullivan who will also direct Volleyball on Tuesday and Thursday at four o'clock. Miss Dozier, the new P. E. instructor, will have charge of the Hockey on Tuesday and Thursday at four, while the recreational dancing class under her supervision will meet on Monday and Wednesday at four o'clock. This sports program has been arranged to fit the needs and desires of all the women of the school and they are urged to select one sport and turn out. Later in the fall In-trumural and Interclass games will be played. The grand finish of these health activities will be a Sports' Banquet to be held sometime in December. Miss Skalley, when interviewed said, "It is not necessary to be" a member of the, W. A. A. so we urge every girl to support at least one sport by turning out." —o GAME TOMORROW GREETINGS, ALL YOU SPORTDOM'S FANATICS AND OTHERS, MEANING ALL OF THOSE ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF ALL ANCIENT AND HONORABLE SPORTS, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO ARE CASUALLY INDIFFERENT, AND ONLY OCCASIONALLY GLANCE AT THIS COLUMN IN THE VAIN HOPE OF FINDING A WISE CRACK OR HALF-BAKED LAUGH * * * * * We don't need to watch the grid warriors prance around in their moleskins to know that another football season is at hand. Just note how old Jupe Pluvius greeted us with a deluge of concentrated H20 on our opening day. There is only one kind of a game that can be played and enjoyed when it is raining Three guesses. * * * * * Now that the rainy season is here the Viking coaches are being flooded with demands from the young hopefuls, for protection against the dampness that reigns on the field of honor. Some desire the collegiate slickers, some want hip-boots to keep the mud from their heels, but the best is the wish of still others for large umbrellas attached to their helmets. * * * * * If there happens to be a little wind turned loose under the umbrellas, th boys will be in no need of further protection; they will be high and dry. « * * * . * THAT WOULD BE AN "UP IN THE AER IDEA." * * * * * It may be nice to be high and dry, but football games are won on the ground, not-in parachutes. So let's get down to earth then. A little wetting is good for one, now and Coach Carver has called a practice game between two teams of those turning out for the squad. This will be the first chance to really see just what the 1928 squad will look like. The game will be called at 10 o'clock Saturday morn-ng. Come out and look them over. —•• o W. S. C. TAKES GAME CHENEY SAVAGES OPEN NEW SEASON Normalites Play Pullman Yearlngs October 16 and Vikings, Oct. 27. Scoring a field goal in the last few minutes of play the Washington State college defeated the Gon-zago eleven last Saturday by a score of 3 to 0. Buckly, substitute quarter booted the goal. The Husky's played two games on the same date defeating the Willamette college 28 to 0, and the eleven from the U. S. S. Tennessee 41 to 0. •SWEDE" ANDERSON and Short seem two pretty tough customers when it comes to the guard positions. With Don Stickney, veteran center and Frank Geri to help him out, .the center position should not cause the coaches too much worry. Backfield Material Looks Promising Having disposed of the problems of the line, we now turn our attention to the backfield. There are more than enough turning out for the backfield to make a whole team. From among the lettermen of last year's team are Erickson, triple-threat fullback and signal barker, and Carl Weber, hard hitting half, who is capable of making the ball do all kinds of stunts when he puts his toe behind it. Then from the squad of 1926 we have shifty, fleet-footed . Ray Odell and Ted Clark. Other old men are Reeves and Hamilton, who can take their turn at teither half or signal barking. : Among the new backfield material arte Radosovich and Dickie, former pWallup High School backs, Goddard, a West Seattle star, Cole |o£i ^Perndaie;•;, and Williams, one of Grandview's stellar backs of former Chile and Peru have agreed to resume diplomatic relations which were broken off in 1910. There was no reference made to the Tacna-Arica problem. . The Jugoslav cabinet has been reconstructed; it has before it the difficult task of reducing the Serbian influence in the Jugoslav administration at the demand of the Croatian Peasant party. * * * * Postmaster General New has forecast a deficit of more than 100 million dollars for the postoffice department next year. Nobile the polar explorer, pilot of the dirigible Italia, is back home in Italy. days. If we were to judge, from the foregoing list of men, the Viking prospects for the 1928 season, we would say that the chances for the local team to walk off with the i928 Tri-normal grid honors are a little better than 50-50. i n other worcfe/ Viking values are going to be hard to beat this year. The Cheney Savages offically opened their football season October 5, when they clash with Spokane college on the latter's field. They have played several practice games to date and are rated by football critics as having a fast aggregation. Having started school a week sooner than we did they have had the benefit of a few days more of real practice and are getting things molded down to more of a mid-season form. On October 13 the Spokane university will play Cheney on the normal's field. The Savages will invade the lair of the yearling Cougars at Pullman on October 19. Their first tri-normal competition for Cheney will be played at the local normal Oct. 27. The Red and White will play Ellensburg November 5 and Wbit-worth college Nov. 9. The Idaho Frosh aggregation will give the Savages a final chance to add scalps to their hope chest when they clash at Moscow Nov. 17.' o HEALTH HINTS . . Rendering of First Aid at the time of injury is most important in view of the fact that it often prevents further infection. As teachers, it is often wise to be prepared for an emergency. A simple first aid kit would serve such an occasion well. Perhaps the most inexpensive and simple way to make one would be to use a tobacco box or any small box available and paint it white. The essential fact to remember when handling any of the sterile materials placed in the kit is to have clean hands. The following is a list of supplies that is estimated to be sufficient for the needs of a medium size rural school for one year: Sterilize gauze, 5-yd package 1; Adhesive plaster, 2-inch width, 2 rolls; Gauze bandages, 2-inch width, 3 rolls; Gauze bandages, 1-inch width, 3 rolls; Absorbent cotton, 1- ounce packages, 2; Oil of cloves (for toothaches), small bottle; Mercuro-chrome, 2% solution, 1 bottle; Un-guentine, 1 tube; Scissors; Safety pins; Castile soap.

Barney Chiche'ster, editor.^ Vernon V. Vine, associate f editor). HERBERT E. FOWLER: As facility^ advisor to both the Viking and the Klipsun, Mr. Fowler will find himself greatly in demand this year. For the past several years he has acted as instructor in journalism, and under his supervision the r Weekly Messenger and The Northwest Viking prospered and were papers recognized among the best from Normal schools To him, and to the editor and business manager of the paper, goes the greater part v / o f the credit for the past successes of the sheet. This is his first year .;:: as advisor to the annual staff, he v succeeding Miss. Olive Edens, who is 'on leave of absence. DEAN EDMUNDSON: Dean has served the Students' Association as its president for the last two quar- ,ters, and will continue until his fc, graduation at the end of the fall : quarter In addition to his service ••:••. ..as president of the association, he is also presdent of the Men's club, '" ••-.•. nd- is a member of the "W" club, •VV'.;-.'; paving earned his letter in .•footer ^"••••feaU. Due to his leadership and ,;,i; energy and ability, the summer quarter was made one of the most \ ' active of any such terms in the gt; " school for many years. '••'.'•: ROY ARNETT: When he first •~ entered Normal, Roy was chosen t president of the Freshman class, v and upon completion of his term, '•;;. was chosen by • the board of control to be its secretary. This last position he has held for several quar- ; ters, and was re-elected again at V the. end of the. summer quarter. - During the winter quarter, 1928, : Roy supervised the publication of •"^ the first faculty-student directory, and has this year been awarded the franchise for the publication of the ; second •'. edition He also serves in f the library with Dean Edmundson, f :-v' as a cheery book vendor. ^ HERBERT RUCKMICK: Mr. : , Ruckmick is an unknown quantity ; ; on the board of control, his term as faculty advisor commencing with this quarter. As a member of numerous committees and the leader of various parties, however, Mr; Ruckmick has shown himself, to. share the students' viewpoint, and to be at all times anxious for the welfare of the student body He was appointed to his post by President Fisher to fill the place of Edward J. Arntzen, who is on leave of absence this year. NAOMI CHASE: Probably two of the most important positions in the school are filled by Naomi, who, during her first year in Normal, proved herself to be a capable and efficient worker in many lines of endeavor. The 1929 Klipsun will be edited by her and she will serve until the end of the spring quarter as president of the Women's league. Work has already started on the Klipsun, and a book of charming interest is promised During the summer quarter, her first quarter as women's league president, Naomi was responsible for an entirely successful summer dance, one of the first of its kind attempted for some years. DOROTHY SOLLDE: As president of the W. A. A. heavy responsibilities have fallen upon Dorothy. The management of Viqueen lodge and the outfitting of the building as well as the regulation of many of the women's athletic events in the school have fallen to her lot, and she has proved herself exceptionally capable. BARNEY CHICHESTER: This issue is the first of The Northwest Viking to be published under the supervision of Barney. However he is in no way an inexperienced newspaper worker, having served for several quarters as business manager of The Weekly Messenger during the fall and winter of 1927. As editor of the school paper he promises a paper which will be strong in news, bright with features, and live with innovations, but which at all times will reflect credit upon the institution To Barney the staff of The Northwest Viking has pledged its fullest support, knowing that he is a capable editor, and one easy to work with. (By the Associate Editor) HARRY APPLETON: A former editor of The Weekly First Schoolhouse Built on "Box House" Plan; Indians Thought Mt. Baker Shot by Thunder Bolt. At one time our present city of Bellingham was divided into four towns namely; Whatcom, Sehome, Bellingham, and Farhaven. In 1903, Whatcom and Fairhaven were formally united under the name of Bellingham. The first white man ever to enter Bellingham Bay was a Spaniard in 1791. In 1791, Joseph Whid-by surveyed the Bay in a boat excursion under Vancouver who honored his friend, Sir William Bellingham by naming the Bay after him. The first active settler in this city was Captain Henry Roeder, born in Germany in 1824. In 1853, in partnership with R. V. Peabody he built a lumber mill. In 1859, a bill was passed providing for organization of this new territory which was called Whatcom. This county included all territory north of King,' east of the Sound, to the summit of the Cascade mountains. In 1883 Skagit county was created; Whak^ai, "named after the chief of a neighboring tribe of Indians, was now the county seat. In 1852, coal was discovered by two loggers who later sold out the mine, and thus was started one of the future industries of this state. The first white woman of this region was Teresa Eldridge, wife of Edward Eldridge. Their son Edward, born in 1855, was the first white child born here. Roeder. and Eldridge became fast friends, and it was they who shaped the destiny of Bellingham, and perhaps are responsible for a measure of the present development. The Lummi Indians were always friendly with these early settlers, but hostile to the Northern Indians whom Mr. Roeder frequently employed in his mill. At this time there were three families living on the Bay; the Roeders ,the Lysles, and the Eld-ridges. The first school on Bellingham Bay was built of rough boards and PRQtjeA fKtNq Officer in "boxhouse fashion", and stood j Messenger,, where Maple and Dock streets newj Harry came back to school to its cross—not far from the B. N. • The Training School has the largest attendance in its history, reports Miss Rich, director. Each grade has an enrollment of from 31 to 39 pupils, while, more than 90 have been refused entrance in order to avoid an over crowded condition. . A series of Assemblies have been held by the children of the Training School which have proven profitable and enjoyable. One was devoted to Vacation Experiences, in which dramatization and panto-mines of humorous episodes of their summer such as "A Fish Story" and "Mountain Climbing", along with shadow pictures by the eighth grade and a talk by President Fisher, all of which proved a good way to begin the school year. The favorite books of the chld-ren of different grades were dramatized in the second assembly proving very entertaining. The third was devoted to "The Junior Viking". This publication has' an interesting history, having been started in 1913 as "The Effort". A number of meetings of the staff and representatives have been held for the purpose of stimulating interest and placing responsibility on different groups of pupils in order to make it an all-school paper. An interesting project in gardening is being worked out by the 1st and 2nd grades under Miss Strickland and Miss Moffat. A garden was started in the spring by the first grade children, who are now second graders. The harvest has consisted of picking flowers of which there were 26 varieties. The carrots are being harvested and sold now. Mrs. Day of the cafeteria and Artists vGpniing (Continued from Page ;0ne) SOCIETY Mrs. Mae Lovegren motored to Eastern Washington where slie was joined by her sons, Lou and Hugh. They then visited former students of the Normal in Seattle, Port Angeles, Bremerton, Tolt, and Pysht. o Miss Mary Ringer and Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson have returned to the Library after an absence of several weeks. o . Miss Mary Hoyer, former student, is now teaching in the Mt. Baker district. ' o—, Margaret Still a former student has taken over the telephone switch board in the main office. Mrs. Still fills the place of Mary Hoyer who is teaching at Bell Creek. o Miss Polly Learnard, secretary to President Fisher spent a deilghtful vacation at her home in Gilroy, California, and with friends in San Francisco. . o : Miss Bertha Weber entered the University of Washington after working here for a year in the research department.- o Miss Charlotte Brigham, former secretary to Miss Mary E. Rich, has entered the University of Washington as a sophomore where she has been elected treasurer of the Alpha Chi Delta sorority. o Chauncey Griffith had as his guest over the week-end John Kerr who is now teaching at Kirkland, Washington. ized by President Fisher as "The best student body andithe best students we have ever had in this normal school". The increasing consciousness throughout the state of the work the normal schools are doing and the opportunities which they offer is credited with the increased enrollment and the finer type of students which attend the school, yearly. Courses Are Changed The courses which are being offered this fall are little different from those offered other quarters, with the exception of the addition of a few new subjects for first quarter teaching. Among these are first year German, and special courses in history, political science, and science. These courses, scheduled in the catalogue, were to be offered sometime during the year, and will be replaced by other one-quarter subjects during the year. The number of classes scheduled is not changed from last year, it was said. Of the students registered in the school, 500 are freshmen, 400 are sophomores, and fifty are third and fourth year students, it is said. Of the freshmen, 400 are entering for the first time, wihle the remaining 100 are second and third quarter students. that had not the Normal school and the Women's Music club engaged in bringing to Bellingham. the artists which they have during past several years, the city would necessarily have gone without many of the splendid concerts which have made Bellingham one of the PPPPP

Having spent Saturday night at Shuksan they skied to Bagley creek and through short cuts to t he Meadows. They returned to Bellingham Sunday evening,; having a 17-mile hike behind them. o— WELL KNOWN TRIO SEEN IN ASSEMBLY BOARD AIDS VIKING STAFF PARTY PLANS WITH APPROPRIATION Nominating of Candidates to Fill Coming Vacancies On Board of Control Will Take Place Soon. QUALIFICATIONS STRESSED The Board Receives Money Item As Its Share of Net Profit Gained From Program Editions. Willustra Trio Presents Program of Classical Selections Before Students In Tuesday Assembly. The Willustra Trio which is composed of three Normal school students Ethel Boynton, violin; Pauline Larkin, flute; and Muriel Myhre, piano; was presented in t h e Tuesday assembly. : The trio is well-known in musical circles here and has won considerable fame in concert work and in .^broadcasting over Northwestern radio stations. In their presentation here the girls exhibited that rare musical ability which has caused ' t h em to be so well thought of among those who appreciate the best in music. The program was well-chosen, well-balanced and varied. "Serenade d' Amour," by F. V. Blon-Saenger, and the Dance Suite, by Wilhelm Popp, including "Spanischer Tanz" :(Spanish Dance), "Fruhlingsgruss" lt;Spring Greeting), and "Schorzwald- Blumchen" (Black Forest Flower), were particularly lovely. Two soft and dreamy lullabies, "Wiegenlied" (Cradle Song), by Brahms-Herman, a n d "Slumber Song," from Ersfeld-Ambrosio, were well-liked by the audience. One number, "Sing, Sweet Bird," by Canz-Saenger, demonstrated the trio's ability to work together, and gave Miss Larkin an opportunity to display her talent as a flutist. "Extase" from Ganne-Tobani, "Intermezzo Sinfonica," from "Caval-leria Rusticana", by Mascagni-Wer-ner, and "Serenata," from Macbeth - Saenger, completed the program. The girls received a great deal of applause and responded to an encore with "Pappilon," by W. W. Andreef. HOME MECHANICS AND PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES ADDED TO CURRICULUM After postponing several of their regular meetings, the Board of Control had a regular session last Monday afternoon, in t he Student Association offices. Ray Craft, associate editor of The Viking, appeared before the Board and asked for an appropriation of money for The Viking Staff annual party. I t was approved and his plans are going ahead for the staging of this party, which will be strictly for those affiliated with the publication. Jack Musser, who handled the transportation from here to the Fairhaven gym for the Pep band and spectators during the Cheney and Ellensburg series, sent up his financial report. There was a small profit, which the Board ordered Mr. Musser to turn over to the Pep band for whatever use they may be able to put it to. Stickney Gives Report Another financial report was that of Don Stickney, concerning the issuing of the souvenir programs just previous to the Ellensburg football game last fall quarter. The Board approved of the report, which included an item of $45.25 to be turned over the school as its profit on the souvenirs. The previous agreement was t h a t Stickney turn over 20% of the net profit to the Board. Elections Coming President Summers later announced that Student elections will be held during the early part of next quarter for three offices—that of president, vice-president, and four-quarter representative. Students are urged to keep in mind this election and be seeking candidates to place on the nominated list. There are several regulations and restrictions in regard to the election of Board officers. These may be found under the Point System of page twenty-eight in the Blue Book, and in Section three of the Constitution on page fifty of the Book. Emphasis has been placed on grade standard and on the fact that some of the officers must remain through the Summer quarter and make their term continuous. They must also have been a two-year resident of Bellingham. I n listing the new courses that will be added to t he curriculum for the coming quarter, in the Viking, two entirely new courses were overlooked. A c o u r s e in Home Mechanics by Mr. Paul Rule will be introduced for both men and women taking an uppergrade curriculum. The other course in photography taught by Mr. H. C. Ruck-mick will be a new venture for the spring quarter. It will be of special interest to teachers or those planning to teach industrial arts in the upper or junior high grades. o DOROTHY CRAWFORD TO APPEAR FRIDAY A Group of Character Monologs Will Be Presented In Assembly By Artist of Ability and Charm. Curriculum Construction Principles Studied Here During Fall Quarter New Officers for Spring Quarter Installed at Vanadis Bragi Banquet The annual banquet of the Vanadis Bragi club was held last Friday evening, February 22, at Chuckanut Shell. Contrary to custom members invited guests, and the evening was most enjoyably spent in dining and dancing. * The program was carried off in fine style, with Mary Beth Park-hurst as toastmistress. Edna Goulter and Ruth Hench entertained with two delightful duets, "Down the Trail to Home, Sweet Home," and "Wishing." The speakers of the evening were William Osborne, Minnie Albers, Eva Jordan, Viola Poyhonen, Curtis Bell and Charles Dowell.- A lovely seheme, "The Garden," was utilized in preparing the speeches. The garden, with its flowers, was likened to life with its people. • Curtis Bell officiated at the installation of officers for the coming Spring quarter. Charles Dowell was installed at president. Basil Ames was presented with a sofa pillow in significance of his "soft" position as vice-president. The task of the secretary, Edna Goulter, was enlighted with a book of rhetoric. Due to the absence of. Marjorie Hollis, elected '$ treasurer, Borinibel Moore acted ;j proxy in her place, a ^ i received ja two-by-four bank in which to keep the funds of the club. As sergeant-at- arms, William Kendrick was given the task of maintaining order at meetings of the club. Miss Delia Keeler, active sponsor of Vanadis Bragi, was advised that the students would appreciate any change of text-book from the State Manual. . Dr. Miller, who for the past thirteen years has been, in his own words, "an honorary though not decorative" member of Vanadis Bragi, was quite appreciative of a "stimulus- response" instrument, which he said, would enable him to start on his life-long ambition: that of establishing an experimental psychology laboratory. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Music was furnish by the Whatcom Trio, "the hottest little three-piece orchestra in the city"—and the players did certainly do justice to tiieir name. Members of the club were pleased by the presence of two of the alumni, " Viola Poyhenen, and Cecil Anderson; Miss Emma Erickson, our ever-faithful adviser, was a most charming hostess, and t he Vanadis Bragi banquet proved a'.huge success. gt; Dorothy Crawford, clever young monologist, will entertain in the assembly on next Friday, March 7, with a group of character mono-logs. Her appearance promises to be on the most enjoyable of the quarter's assembly programs. Miss Crawford is said to be an artist of extraordinary ability, originality and charm, and her mono-logs to be portrayals of the very stuff of life. She has, in the past few years, made numerous appearances in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and San Francisco, and her programs have been extremely successful. In her monologs she attempts to portray life, but to portray it so truthfully and so vividly as to bring out the unmistakable humor of it all. She simply chooses situations that occur daily, and presents them on the stage. With her remarkable talent in characterization she seems to actually live through these satu-ations. Some of them are decidedly humorous, some tenderly pathetic, but all tremendously entertaining. A study of the principles of curriculum construction has been made during the fall quarter by t he Bellingham Normal. Many articles have been investigated and principles have been gathered from a variety of sources. Some have been formulated, taken up for discussion, and finally, a subcommittee was appointed to draw up a brief list which might serve as a working basis in t he construction of the curricula for this school. The list was submitted to the entire committee for discussion and as a result the following list has been adopted for guidance: All curricula should be organized on the basis of four years of work beyond graduation from High school, recognizing the need of adjusting specific requirements to certain lower minima as they advance to the full four-year prescription. The students may have the opportunity of exploration and guidance with reference to the choice of teaching as a vocation, and later in the selection of a specific curriculum. Provision should be made early for observa-tio nof schoolroom situations and of characteristics of children, together with some participation in the various activities connected with teaching. Student Excavators Sadly Disillusioned Last week some young excavators or scientists dug up a part of the skeleton of a large animal down by the railroad tracks. This was first thought to be part of a prehistoric mastodon, but the science teachers examined it and decided that it was only the hipbone of a .large dray horse. — ;0 :— Pep Club Entertains Elks Thursday Night The four-year curricula should make possible an education that is liberal in spirit, interpretive of life, and enriching in its social and aesthetic culture. In providing curricula, the distinct fields of service for .which the school is expected to prepare teachers should be recognized. In order that graduates may be able to adapt themselves quickly to current demands, the various curricula should provide for the acquisition of certain definite knowledge of particular subject matters to be covered by the children to be taught, the study of scientific investigations made in the field of common branches that lie at the basis of reconstructions of curriculum and methods, and the development of the ability to use t he specific techniques needed in teaching various subjects. Sequence of subjects should be worked out so t h a t the work of each succeeding year may start from that of the preceding year. And finally, the curricula should be so constructed that any student upon ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 28 - Page 2 ---------- IWiiriwI weekly by, S t u J f t»' Aeaudatio* of Stotc Normal School.

This evening marks the beginning of a new custom m the era of the Norma! school. The date for first Women's League Informal, that is truly for all the members of the League (if they were lucky enough to get a ticket), has finally arrived. . . . . . , . This beautiful affair promises to make history among the social events of Normal and we are most sincere in congratulating the officials of the Wontth's League in making all the arrangements that will contribute to ih6 success of this evening. No small details have been left unattended to, and everybody is promised the most delightful time. "The very name is suggestive of an unusually glorious time. "The Night Club," what a world of romance even that name intimates. The new Leopold Crystal ballroom* which has been engaged, has a new feature in the lighting effects that will add greatly to the magical beauty of the night. A reflector of different colored lights plays on the great crystal chandeliers, giving the most fascinating and even mystic appearance during the moonlight waltzes. Can't you imagine that dance;—lovely girls in charming dresses, pastels and smart blacks and whites—soft rhythmical music—the ideal partner—dimmed lights with a pink light playing on crystal drops, now slowly changing to a light blue, only to be reflected by a sparkling brace let or, perhaps, a dainty ear-ring. Isn't everything just ideal for Informal? our m AN OUTRAGE SEATTLE, WiL-^Students in the University of Washington's psychology department will face a "Be detector" machine when they make excuses for absences or failure to prepare lessons on time, in experiments to be conducted soon. Which bears out the conclusion that we reached a short time ago; that the lot of the college student becomes humbler day by day. Now, doubtless, due to our low mentality and inferior code of honor, we are not entitled to any more of the confidence of others, than are morons, murder-suspects, and the like; but, even at that, the system may be carried too far. Let's look ahead and see where this may lead: Scene—The dean's office in some large University. Time—Soon; if this keeps on. The dean is seated at his desk, on a raised dais. Two uniformed and armed guards hold a struggling sophomore before him." Dean—Got his thumbprints? Attendant—Yes; sir. Dean-—Mugged him? Att.—Yes, sir. Dean—Good! has he confessed? Att.—No, sir. Dean—What! Not confessed! Well, he will! ! (to Soph) Come on; confess. You did it; didn't you? •Soph—No sir. Dean (in a rage)—Oh! So you won't admit it! Eh? Take him out, boys, and give him the works! Try the lie detector on him; he can't get away with that sort of thing while I'm dean here! (Exit guards and prisoner.) The dean picks up a college paper and reads aloud to himself: Dean—"Department of education endorses third degree methods." Good, now we shall be able to meet these desperadoes on their own ground. "Student confesses after 14 hours grilling—Senior admits he cut classes!" A-h-h! That's the way to put 'em in their place! Well, I'll show them they can't— (Enter attendant—very excited.) Att.—I'm sorry, sir; I'm afraid you'll be be awfully disappointed, but the finger on the lie detector points unwaveringly to "true." Dean (beside himself)—What's that? Not lying? Impossible!!! Why, that machine has never failed us before! It must be out of order. That Soph is a dangerous character; put him in solitary confinement until we can fix that machine. Why we haven't even another suspect if this one fails us. (exit guard; enter reporter of school paper.) Rep.—Any scoops today, Sir? Dean—No, we've got only one case today, and the suspect won't confess. I shall demand the maximum sentence, however. Rep.—What is he charged with? Dean—Walking on the grass. (Curtain.)

JUST A N O T H E R SCOTCH STORY / / seems that nights are always dark, This night was like the rest. At night'the "boogey mans"—but hark! I'll get this off my chest. 'Twas such a night—quite dark, I mean. Our hero .ventured out To pay a visit to his queen; You see, he's quite devout. He passed a pleasant hour oh so; Of jokes he was quite spent. And then said he, "I'd better go." And so, of course, he went. Next morning all the newsboys bawl From Bay to Sehome Hill,— "Two Holdup Men Take Ingersoll, And Twenty Dollar Bill"! ! ! Our hero told of how, with ease, They sifted out his jack. And though he cried, "Oh, pretty please!" They wouldn't give it back. He wailed, "Bad mans, please do not tease, That watch was grandpapa's. I'm poor, look at my baggy knees." They laughed with loud guffaws. The public drank this down like tea; But I don't think they should. Because, my friends, I think I see A nigger in the Wood. Of printers Art and Walt, 'tis said, Folks know them wide and far. They'll give you choice of tail or head And flip for a cigar. " Our hero took the printers' dare; Their nickel never fails, And when it lit the head was there; The gallant lad chose tails. He said, when Walt tried to foreclose, "Boys, I'll give you plenty, In just another day or two When I break this twenty." And so the cat jumped from the bag. Folks, listen, near and far,-— Our hero pulled this "holdup" gag To save a dime cigar. o Only one per cent of every twenty persons in the U. S. has a bathtub, acorcding fo Professor Stanley A.

The town is patterned after Bellingham, and has a?

BOTH GAMES CLOSE Closing another basketball season, the Normal Vikings dropped their final two contests to the University of Washington Prosh and the St. Martin's Rangers. The Frosh nosed out the Vikings 40—32, Friday, February 21, in the PavU-libn, while a fighting band of Rangers staved off a Viking rally to win 30 to 27. The following day. The Hilltoppers had defeated both these .teams earlier in the season. Frosh Contest Close I The Frosh contest was nip and tuck, all the way and it was only in the last minutes of play that the Frosh were able to forge ahead. Occie Thorsen was forced to leave the game on acount of a sprained ankle and his absence weakened the Viking defense. After trailing at the half 19 to 18, the Husky Babes, led by McCartney and Anhutz, got going and tossed in enough baskets to lead the Vikings until the game ended. The large Pavilion floor also handicapped the Hilltoppers, who were without the services of "Chuck" Erickson, and were sorely lacking in substitutions. • The Normal scoring was evenly divided, with every man contributing a few points. Vikings Bagged at Lacey The Vikings looked ragged against St. Martins' and scored only one field goal in he first half, while the Rangers led 12 to 5. At the opening of the second period, a barrage of long shots by Weber ran the score up to 22 to 7 for the Rangers. From then on, the Vikings began finding the basket and were soon right behind the Laceyites, however, the game ended with the Vikings still three points behind. ————o Alley Cats Swamp Philo Baskeleers HbOP CHAMPIONSHIP The Outside girls are the undefeated champions of the organization intramural basketball league. The final scheduled game was played last Wednesday when the Philos lost to the Outside girls 14 to 10. The Thespians are close seconds in the race, having lost only one game and winning five, philos are third, winning four out of six; Edens hall girls fourth, having lost and won three games; Thomas Manor fifth, with one game to- its credit; and Collett court sixth. Girls on the championship team are Helen Williams, manager, Ber-nice Johnson, Beatrice Johnson, Margaret Miller, Coressa Skull, Charmaine Whally, Margaret Sater, Vera Waham, and Irene Marz. o— — W. A. A, TO PURCHASE NEW OUTDOOR GAMP FOR WEEKEND TRIPS Viqueen Lodge, New Home of W.A.A. Girls Situated Near Sinclair Island Has Quaint Name. "When the cat's away, the mice win play." However, when the Alley Cats are there on the job it seems that the mice won't show up. And that is just what happened last Tuesday when the second of the boys' Intra-mural basketball championship series games was to have been played with the Philo club acting as the mice, in this instance. The Alley Cats had chased the "mice" all over the court last week, to win the first of the series, 44-7, and then, by virtue of the forfeit of last Tuesday, they hung up a big "Alley Cat" sign just below the mythical Intra-muraf bunting. The Philo club won the right to enter the play-off series by winning the first half of the league. They didn't fare so well during the second half, and the Alley Cats led the field of entrants to the tape. And then came the big three-game play-off. The Alley Cats, who by the way, have by uncfer the able tutelage of Sir Ingwald "Butch" Iverson for the past season, ran wild in the first game. They led at the end of the first half by an 18-2 score. Kirk made eight points at the start, while John Hermsen scored two baskets. Then came the second half, and 28 points for the victors. Every time Hermsen got his clutches on the ball it seemed sure to stretch the net, and with his helpful assistance of 20 points in the last half, the then prospective champs rolled the final score up to 44, while the Philos increased theirs to 7. Next came the already mentioned non-arrival of the Philo's and the consequent forfeit going to the Alley Cats, and it was thus that they hung, the "Indian sign" over the doors of the Philo-mathian organization's stronghold. o Thelnterclass swimming meet will be held next Thursday night to decide swimming teams for the quarter. The different races will be made up of the following strokes: Breast, back, crawl, side, free style, and plunge. There will be diving and a relay. Viqueen Lodge, on Sinclair Island, is the true home of the Women's Athletic association, and needs only the work of the girls to make it into a gorgeous Summer and Winter camp. The place has immense possibilities for it is situated on a sandy, smooth beach for swimming and has large grounds for sports and outdoor recreations. The building, as it now stands, is rather unfinished and needs work and repairs, but a couple of all-day trips by the W. A. A. people, with the help of Mr. Dach, will put the place into ideal condition. The first of these trips is planned for March 8, an all-day Saturday trip, and work will be started then in putting up a fireplace and a fence, and working on the grounds around the lodge. Marjorie Coventon, chairman of the lodge committee, will be in charge of the affair. But, to make the lodge dream come true, there must be raised sufficient funds to pay off the yearly debts. Five hundred dollars is needed to make this year's debts' good and so several entertainment stunts and dances have been planned to raise the necessary money for the year's expenses. Viqueen, the lodge name, has rather an interesting beginning. Since the men sport-leaders are called Vi-kings, Vi-queens seemed the natural name to apply to this lodge of the W. A. A. New and Better Lodge Planned Viqueen lodge, if well developed, can be used extensively for weekend trips. There are dishes for twenty people, and the place has been furnished, including a new range installed last year. If the fireplace is put in this year, and the girls work on the grounds and the building itself, there should be vast improvement made. Since the fishing out there is good (if one likes to fish), possibly a small wharf will be installed and, in time, a boat or two will be added to the camp equipment. All these things take time and money, but if the school is behind the lodge and the girls are willing to put in the time, they can surely have a building of which they can be proud, and in which many good times will be had, is the idea the faculty gives. Those members of the faculty who have been at the lodge are decidedly in favor of the project and offer every encouragement in making the camp a big success. Here's to a bet-, ter Viqueen lodge! SERVICE B^X^VSS{ ; TEAM GAME STARRED Servus ball class teams have been selected and interclass games started last Monday. The sophomores defeated the frosh for the first game.

TENNIS AND BASEBALL TO LEAD SPRING ATHLETICS Tennis Draws First Victims As Good Weather Brings Ont Many Cold Athletes For All Sports. One robin doesn't signify Spring, the weather man still declines to announce the end of Winter, and as yet we haven't heard of any student pawning the old trusty overcoat for a little ready cash yet* here at Normal, basing the announcement JMI the Athletic season—Spring is here. ''With the good weather of the past few days, tennis drew the first victims. Rackets were quickly dug out of the coffers, new ones were bought, or letters hurriedly written. In fact, the courts have been in constant use from early in the day until the shrouds of darkness have finally made seeing the ball an impossibility. The two major boys' sports have also come into prominence. The last of the basketball togs were hung up on the hooks after Tuesday's Jayvee-Super game. Baseball Looming Royal E. "Pop" Gunn has had,his baseball pitchers loosening up their arms for the past two weeks, and has issued a general baseball call with everyone to get down to business at the start of next week. There have been several of the prospective players out tossing the ball around the field a little bit,-doing warming up work but for the most part the practice has been carried on within the cozy protection of the gym- walls. Gunn In Charge Sam Carver, head coach, will let Gunn tak esole charge of the nine, and will center his attentions on turning out a track squad. Likewise, a small group of track aspirants have been jogging a few laps around the track the past few afternoons, loosening up their muscles so that they won't materially suffer from stiffness when the training gets seriously under way. Definite dates for competition in neither of the two sports have been set, as yet, but will probably be lined up soon. o— Miss Lillian George accompanied by Miss Reese of the library staff took about twenty girls on an all day hike to Lummi last Saturday. The girls were soaked by a rain storm which came up suddenly as they were hiking. However, when they reached the top of Lummi they built a fire and dried themselves while they roasted marshmallows. The bedraggled hikers reached home about 6 o'clock, quite exhausted. GAME FROM SUPERS WITH DECIDED WIN All Arguments Settled As Jayvees Take Measure of Their Higher Brothers In Fairhaven Gym. WIN BY TEN POINTS Meeting last Tuesday night at the Fairhaven "Laundry" for .the sake of washing off all arguments from the three-game series slate, the Jayvees and the Super-varsity went through the suds of the first half about equal, but when it came to the washing machines during the last few minutes of the game, the Junior- Varsity gave their higher-ups a good cleaning. *The final score was 28-18. In a preliminary game to the first Ellensburg contest, the present champions won by a lone point. In the second game the Supers came through with flying colors to win by a 5-point margin. In the third game, Tuesday, it looked as though they were going to repeat their victory of the previous game when they ran up a 9-2 lead during the* first part of the game. They were checking the Jayvees closely during this portion, but then the tide turned and before long the score stood 10 to 9 for the Jayvees. A Super-basket, just before the half time, gave them a one-point lead. Even at Half During the second half the score remained about even for awhile, but toward the last of the fray, the Junior- Varsity piled up a safe lead. ANNUAL FOUL SHOOT CONTEST CONDUCTED The annual foul shooting contest, conducted by the Physical Education department and open to all men of the school, will get under way the first of next week. So far there are about fifty signed up, and many more have intentions of entering. The qualifying round is slated for the first part of the week and the finals will be held later in the week, or during the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 28 - Page 4 ---------- •ittjiaiii iMUm w#$^^ ^0M BY THEATER GUILD Production Written By George S. Kaufmaii, and Was Directed By Lewis:'Fnizee, of Bellihgham. f ^ The Bellingham Theater' Guild iyireserited "Dulcy," a three-act com- 'edy by George S. Kaufman and •itfark Connelly, Tuesday night, in .the auditorium. fTne production was greeted by Lewis :Frazee.; ; The story centered around Dul-cinea Smith, and her husband, Gord o n / T h e scene is laid throughout in the living room of their suburban home. The plot concern's Dulcy's efforts to run her husband's business, !much to his dismay and all those involved. For a-'time it looks as if surely her plans will go awry, and, in fact, they do. But a happy circumstance turns the "dark cloud inside out," as it were, and all ends well. The play was extremely amusing, wit sparkling in every line, and the audience was kept in a gale of laughter the whole evening. Much praise should.go to the cast and the director for their splendid interpretation of this comedy. Marjorie Campbell Walker, in the title role deserves the highest honors. Never was there a woman who had the faculty of saying and doing the wrong things at precisely the wrong time so invariably as does ;Dulcy. Miss Walker was a realistic bulcy, thoroughly Movable and delightful, but withal .-with an extraordinary ability to make people uncomfortable. ; ; Harold L. Hawkins, as Dulcy's husband, Gordon, gave a most convincing delineation of the worried .husband. William Parker, Dulcy's brother,-was ably portrayed-by Kirk -Beard. No one could -have taken the ;part of the insouciant, sarcastic jyoung chap better than Mr. Beard. : Quehtin Rochefort, in the role of the talkative young. advertising engineer was - very good. Vincent Leach, "not. a scenario writer, my dear, but a scenarist," played by Theodore O'Hara added much to the comedy. Herbert Philippi as Schuyler Van' Dyck, the supposed millionaire; was amusing. C. Roger Forbes and Mrs. Forbes, played by Nprnian R. Burchette and Dorothy "taff Burchette, respectively, were excellent characterizations. Vera Kienast in the role of Angela Forbes, the youthful daughter of C. Roger Forbes, was lovely. Last, but not least, as far as ability is concerned, are D. Paul Collins, who enacted the part of Henry, the butler, whom Dulcy has rescued just as he was about to be sent to prison; and Frank Burnet as Blair Petterson, noted lawyer and cousin of Schuyler Van Dych. Both parts were exceptionally well done. —o- EDENS^HALL NEWS The boys who were in charge of the Sunday Night Tea, furnished an interesting* program which everyone enjoyed. Sue McMillan favored with an Impromptu number on the-piano. Don Stickney sang aconipanled by Ruth Wersen. Both of them gave several encores which were very fine. Olive Goldman was ill all last week. All were glad; to see her down at tea Sunday /evening as that was her first appearance downstairs since she has been ill. Miss Florence Johnson .was called to Portland last Thursday as. her mother was tqj h^ve an • operation!'

" Bids for construction of the Normal schools' new $260,000 library were opened and taken under advisement by the Normal trustees in special session, Wednesday evening at President C. H. Fisher's office in the school. A special trustee's meeting will be held within the.next two weeks to accept most desirable bids. President Fisher indicated after the session. The basic bids were lower than the preliminary estimates. There are a number of alternates proposed in the •call issued for bids, and the trustees •delayed acceptance of bids until the .alternates have been carefully considered. Bids Satisfactory. Architect F. Stanley Piper, associate to Bebb Gould, Seattle architects who drew up the plans, stated -the bids received were very satisfac-rtory.- s No Bellingham contractors bid •on the general "contract, although many of the special contracts were -sought by local men. The Normal's new library is to be located about 200 yards south and •west of the main Normal school Tmilding. "When completed it will be -one of the finest buildings of its kind. It will be a two" story structure. The basic bids received by the "trustees were announced by Mr. Piper as follows: General contract—Elvind Anderson, $161,128; John Arlington, $158,- 937; Dugan Chrisman, $16i,000; Dolph -Jones, $160,480; C.

Hardware — Northwest Hardware Company, Bellingham, $1,727; Morse ^Hardware Company, Bellingham, $1,- Tournaments and Major Sports Featured According" to Mr. Carver, men's athletic coach, the coming summer quarter promises to be one of extensive athletic activity. In addition to courses in tire four major sports, tournaments in tennis, basketball, horseshoes, and handball will be held; The Physical Education department is to again be taken over for the summer quarter by Mr. Elwood C. Davis, who is physical education instructor at Drury College, Springfield, Missouri. . . o — Williams Trio To Feature Assembly "The Pot-boilers" to be Presented by Philomathean Club in Friday Assembly. Tennis G gt;urts Completed^ Soon Two Courts Nearest Street to be . Finished for Immediate Use of Players." Two very interesting assemblies have been scheduled for next week. Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock, the Williams Trio will play in the regular assembly, and Friday ruorn-mg's program will be "The Pot-boilers" a one-act comedy produced by the Philomathean Club. "The Pot-boilers," under the able direction of Lenore White, is a play concerning the rehearsal for a play. The director is there, shouting directions, the critic voices criticisms, and the different actors very often slip out of their characters as actors are wont to do during rehearsals. A good laugh for everyone is promised, and an assembly program in contrast to. the regular by its lively nature if by nothing else. The Cast follows: Mr. Sud, the director .John Kerr Miss Pencil, the vamp....Carrie Tucker Mr. Ruler, the hero Bob Fisher Mr. Inkwell, the villain....Hank Duiy Miss Ivory, the heroine ;... •. Vera Ginnette Mr. Ivory, her father Maurice Thompson Mr. Wouldby, an artist....Bud Bunnell .—o Convicts teach convicts. This is the situation in the college maintained within the walls of the Colorado state penitentiary at Canyon City. The current term started last October,, with robbers and murderers being taught civics, Spanish, English, and geography by instructors who are themselves robbers and murderers. The new tennis courts* located on High street next to Baiighman's, will be ready in about a month, according to President Fisher. The courts will be about three feet apart with 25 feet of end space. Bleachers, will be built probably on the south and west sides. "These courts," states Coach Carver, "will not be finished at once, but the two nearest the street will be the first completed. After the ground settles, the third court will be put in." Need for Courts in Past. There has been an apparent need for these courts because the old ones have been sinking. Another defect is the cracks in various places, which divert the direction of the ball. Among the other advantages of the new courts is the fact that there will be 25 feet back of each court. It prevents knocking the ball into the fence out of the opponents' reach. There will be a total of six courts, which fact will undoubtedly stimulate a higher degree of interest in tennis. Dance Portrayed in Unique Style "Frontier Days, or Overland to Oregon," has been chosen as the theme of the dance sponsored by the Oregon Club, to be given in the Big Gym next Friday evening. Elaborate preparations are being made for the graphic portrayal of the spirit of those stirring times. The guests will gather on the north fork of the Platte and go dancing westward over a reincarnation of the Old Oregon Trail. Spirited testimonials on all sides shall bear tribute to those stalwart pioneers. The raw wilderness, mute trailside evidences of Indian struggles and hardships and pioneer dwellings and Hudson Bay Posts easily transpose one into the realm of tha tspirited post. The entire dance program from the syncopation of "Oh, Susanah," through the weird campfire waltz, to "Home Sweet Home." is a good one, unique and different. S C I E N C E STUDENTS, Preparing to leave for the day's hunt at the Friday Harbor Biological Station. Friday Harbor Biological Station Scene of Interest During Summer Faculty Members on Leave of Absence Apparently Kept Busy (Continued on Page Four) Drastic Comments Hurled at Vodvil "The faculty committee which selected the Viking Vodvil acts lost sight of the fact that the affair is to be a Vodvil," was the complaint of Phil Sisk, assistant manager for the production in a report to the Board of Control. "The show will not be a. Vodvil if put on with the faculty committee's selection, but a one sided program.of classical music and folk •dancing." A vodvil is something else again, -contends Mr. Sisk, who doubts whether the committee really knows what a regular high class vodvil show consists of. The Board agreed that the objection was sustainable due to the fact that there were no students on the judging committee. Student Body President, George Allez was •empowered to take whatever action /was necessary to shape the program into what was desired. •: At any; rate the managers promise that a real, worthwhile, high class, "i'odvii show will be ready for April •:23.vV •'.'.-:;••.;'••;;•• v"^;.\- -; The summer quarter will see a few old faculty members back again, among them Messers. Hoppe, and Hunt, who have been gone since last fall; Dr. Salisbury, who left at the end of the winter quarter, and the Misses Jones and Breaky, who left recently. Mr. Hoppe is at Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois, working for his Master's Degree. He is writing his Master's thesis on "The- Varying Interpretations of Outstanding Hamlets of the English Speaking Stage." ~ The thesis is due May 1. In addition to his library work, Mr. Hoppe has been taking part in a few plays, one of which was the North Shore Theatre Guild's production of "Henry the Fourth" in which he played the part of Worcester. Rollo Peters was brought from New York to act as Trince Henry. Mrs. Hoppe and children are visiting relatives at Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Hoppes plan to "flivver" back for the second half of the summer quarter. Mr. Hunt Wants to Return Mr. Hunt writes from Clark University at Worchester, Massachusetts, that he is homesick for Bellingham even~ though he likes Clark. He is taking work in geography and has to attend classes six days a week. There are no undergraduates at Clark. Mr. Hunt will be back by train in time for the summer quarter. The following article together with Mr. Hunt's picture, were taken from the Worchester Sunday paper: Thomas F. Hunt, head of the department of geography in the State Normal school in Bellingham, Wash., and at present a graduate student in geography in Clark University, will receive the degree of Master of Arts in sJune. Mr. Hunt received his A. B. ffom^he University of Minnesota and has done graduate work at the Universities of California and, Chicago. He will return to Bellingham in June and resume his teaching in the summer session of the State Normal school. ^During the past year he has been one of the outstanding students in his field as well as one of the most popular." Dr. Salisbury at Columbia Dr. Salisbury is at Teacher's College, Columbia, taking some courses and working on some problems in which he is interested. He is taking a course in the Pyschology of Music and is working on the Smith- Salisbury Music Test which he and Mr. Smith have worked out together. Dr. Salisbury saw Miss Catherine Montgomery and Mr. Clifford^ Newr dall, both former members of our faculty, in New York. Dr. and Mrs^ The Bellingham State Normal School is co-operating with the University of Washington in offering several courses at the Puget Sound Biological Station, beginning June 20th, 1927. Courses in Plant Biology, Animal Biology, Animal Morphology, Plant Histology, Embryology, and others are being offered. " The Biological Station is located near the town of Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island. It is an ideal location for the station, as it offers not only exceptional picturesque scenery, but a wealth of plant and animal life. Normal school class work at the station is conducted both in the field and in the laboratories. Large varieties of both plant and animal life are found and studied with reference to manner of living, adaptation, coloration and- enemies. This study gives the teacher a rich background of experience and knowledge which can be drawn upon in her teaching and everyday life, thus making nature study a vital subject.

Shirley Blake Enuneline Moss A PLEA FOR PEACE In a list of references recently issued in the History 1c classes, there appeared under the topic of "Women Today" whole groups of books written by men on the subject of women. They were deep books, written by intellecuals such as H. L. Mencken and Schopenhauer. They concerned, primarily, the place of woman in modern society and the study of her fundamental character. Consider for a moment how ludicrous is the situation. A man who has always been nothing more than—a man, one who has had only half of the viewpoint of the situation, a man having the effrontery to write a book about women. He has never known just how it feels to be a woman. He is only an outsider, looking in, and summing up the situation to his own satisfaction. This is not^a condemnation of men. It would be just as foolish for a woman to undertake a book on men. There has been much talk in recent years about women's rights, especially on the part of the women themselves. There is no need for all this quibbling. However, the decision they will demand, and furthermore, will take their rights. They have advanced too far now to return of the state of old absolute suppression. The men, with all the superiorities of which they boast, could not stop the torrent which have started within the last century. Neither men nor women can reach a fair decision in this problem. The women are too close to the situation, and the men are too far away. There is only one goal towards which we can strive! That is a sort of balance of power. There are two rival camps: the men with their egoism, their "cock-surety", inherited from the unbalanced past; and the women, with their untried, wings, their distorted viewpoint, and their too-hasty judgments, due to their years of servitude. In order to reach perfect peace it behooves the two sexes, first of all to "lay off" each other. This is the time of the year when that deadliest of all diseases, "Spring Fever", stalks in our midst and lays low the most ambitious. This ancient malady which comes with the first warm sunshine and remains with us for indefinite periods plays no favorites, but strikes both the student and the laggard. Students, beware of this deadly disease. Call in all your reserves. and prepare for battle. The dangerous feature of this ancient enemy lies in the fact that it may be putting in its licks unknown to the victim until at last said victim has a total collapse. The defeat will be final # when your grades melt from A's and B's to C's and D's. Spring Fever! What journalistic crimes are committed in thy name! The dreamy cub feels himself inspired to write a poem; the cynic finds his long sought opportunity to say what he thinks of what spring does to the young man's fancy, and the merely clever reporter sees a chance for a wonderful feature.—And next year they all do it over again! When we look in the old family album « it is not fond recollection that brings the smile to our face. It is joy that we do hot live when our grandparents did. Maybe the girls don't make both ends meet, just as Bud says, but we'll bet they're a darn sight more comfortable than their grandmothers who did. Now is the time of year when people want to do everything—but not now. — — _ _ o — . - Remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! We are not yet insane. — -o It would be interesting to know just how much beauty different students see during the time they are getting their education. How many beautiful sunsets does dhe individual see in a year which will remain in his memory throughout the years to come? How many times does he pause in his busy . hours of studying and playing and. gaze off over the water, and does he ever take time to tramp through some of the beautiful spots around Bellingham simply to see the beauty about him? Muvy declare they simply havh't time td notice nature. Sucji individuals are* truly to be pitied for there is always iime to appreciate the beauties about us. . / CO-EDUCATION One way In which a Normal school differs from a university is in the make-up of its student body. While in the university the sexes are nearly equal in numbers, here in our own school there are seven girls to every boy. This fact opens for the girls a very embarrassing situation. Over on page 547 of Webster, in about the middle of the first column, is a word which is written from head to foot on nearly every man throughout this institution. That word is conceit. It would not be humane were we to pounce upon these male students with venom. We shall rather treat them with sympathy and tenderness, for they know not what they do. They have but just awakened to the fact that they are really sheiks, forgetting to realize the basic reason for their apparent popularity. . - • / And the girls, poor unassuming little creatures, are placed in a most difficult and embarrassing predicament when seven of them-must draw straws for one male, one pathetic piece of sophistication with baggy trousers and locks reeking with oil offish. But then, it was ever so. The women always pays, and our girls are- enduring their humiliation without a murmur. However, yielding little heroines, one may rest assured that as time passes and these ludicrous egotists graduate into the world of men, they will be awakened, and meet with circumstances far more humiliating than those which have been forced upon you.:; ". '. Future teachers, remember that: the 'janitor is an important factor in the running of a school. While here learn to respect the janitor. Marshal. Feng Yu-Hsiang states with satisfaction in a newspaper dispatch from Peking, that "the pride of the missionaries in China as an outstanding example of the Christianized Chinese, undoubtedly has exerted a good influence upon the thousands of young men who have constituted my army. The soldiers make better fighters tinder Christian training." Is this what the missionary movement has for- its ultimate objective ? If not, where are the other results? » * . » ' * • • . - Gold footballs were presented two weeks ago by Coach Harold Quigley to 15 lettermen of the Ellenaburg Normal school grid sqviad of 1926, in token of having won the state normal school championship last fall.

"Hello, papa," the nut boomed, "I want to park in this here institution." ''Young man," eame back the response, "go out and return, and address me in a dignified Avay."

A. ia sponsoring a bigger athletic program tliis quarter than ever before. It is estimated that at least one-hundred and fifty girls are participating in at least one sport. From sixty to seventy are out twice a week for baseball. The girls have been divided into teams and a" aeries of " intramural games will be played before' the class teams are picked. This gives every girl who turns but a chance to play in a number of, games even though she does not make a class team.

B y Norby Tomorrow afternoon the Viking Baseball nine' leaves for Seattle to " open' its Reason against the University of Washington. It will engage thenv in a double header, the first game to be, played at 2:00 p. m. Washington has an exceptionally strong' team this year, having defeated Eothchilds 5 to 3 last Saturday. The Rothchild aggregation is composed of former University stars. Last year they cleaned up the Northwest Baseball flag. If it hadn't been for the perfect fielding, the score might have been worse for the Semi- Pro team. This will give Coach H. Keeney a wonderful chance to look his men over, and find the weak spots in the lineup. If the Viking liurlers pan out, a close game is anticipated, for the Seattle men are hitters of first caliber. Mound Duty. Just who will hurl in the opening game is not known, but the choice seems to lie between Winegard and Patterson, with Temple in reserve. Winegard has been nursing some j strate not only skill in handling their minor ailments that have weakened horses, but in saddling, hitching and During the rainy weather the girls made a start at hurdling and high ' jumping in the : gym. ' They may now be seen out oh the cinder track sprinting; hurdling, high and broad jumping, and throwing the baseball, in preparation for the field day to be held in Jflne. Volley ball is still enjoying popularity after two quarters backing, and the tournament will be held the last of this quarter. Archery Is Popular. A new sport this quarter is archery. Over fifty girls have signed up so it bids fair to rival the always popular baseball and track. Every Tuesday and Wednesday the aspiring Dianas may be seen practicing with bow and arrow. . Horseback riding has met with great enthusiasm from both students and faculty. Forty-five girls have signed up to take from eight to ten lessons from Riding Mistress Keller. Toward the end of the season plans will be made for an all day trip to give the riders opportunity to demon- TRI-NQR^AL ME£T HERE C. P. S.

For -the University of Washington, Gardner, right, bander, and .Kevins, south, paw, will be called upon for mound duty. Cooper is slated to work behind the bat in both games. Infield Shifted. Kemp, a newcomer from Snoqual-mde, lias performed in such a brilliant style that he has been moved into the shortstop position, and Zeke McCIurken has been moved over to the hot corner. Bob Wiley will hold the reins at the first sack, as will Hay Odell at second. Odell has been, jjerforming in -the Canadian Semi- Pro leagues these last summers, and has had much experience in both the hitting and fielding departments of the game. Bob Wiley hit a good clip with the Puyallup high school outfit last year, and provided the Washington hurlers are not entirely too good for him, he should collect at least a couple of hits in the two games. Outfield. The call for the three outfield positions lies between Lyman Stickhey, Estill, Isaacson, Thorlakson, and D. Stickney, with Estill, L. Stickney, and Isaacson holding a slight edge. Lyman Stickney and Estill are veterans of last year's squad, • and swing the bat from the left and right side of, the plate, respectively. Isaacson .will hold down right field provided that Washington pitches a right hander, because he swings left handed. If a left hander hurls, Thorlakson will get the call. Leave in Cars. The squad will leave here tomorrow morning in cars, furnished by Carver and students. The following will make the trip: Coaches Carver -and Keeney, Mgr. Henry Durr, Cooper, Temple, Patterson, Winegard, Wiley, Odell, Kemp, McCIurken, L. Stickney, Bv Stickney, Estill, Isaacson, and Thorlakson. - — : —O^ ——; - • . feeding.

Pullman, April 7.—Trotting out a heavy Avar club in hitting practices, Zeno Katterle, former Bellingham normal outfielder, is a promising candidate for the Cougar baseball team this spring. Although he is in the Meeker class in size, the former coast star fields his position well and packs a powerful wallop in his hitting. SUNDAY—April Yl. "Yv W.

'::Y:.. •'.," BIRDS EASILY RECOGNIZED BY SONG Students who are interested in outdoor life, especially those interested in bird study, should be very watchful these days as new birds are arriving every week. Some of the birds are migrating and will only be here a short time, so they should be studied .while they remain. This is also the time of year when birds sing oftener and more musically than they do later. It takes but little practice to learn to recognize our more common birds by their song. Birds are now looking for nesting sites. It is most interesting to watch the building opei'ations and the rearing of the young. Some of the birds which have arrived in the last few weeks are: Audabon's Warbler, Lutescent Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Gamble Sparrow, Violet-geen Swallow, Humming bird, Blue-bird, and GairdenerV Woodpecker. The following birds should arrive soon in Bellingham: Barn Swallow, Goldfinch, Russet-backed Thrush, Chestnut-backed Chickadee.

Bellingham will be the scene of the annual-Tri-Normal • track meet on May 21 when the Vikings tangle with the Ellensburg and Cheney squads for state honors. Both rival schools will present strong aggregations and with Bellingham weaker than it has been for the past two years, hot competition is promised. This meet will einclude the track season. Before it come three other important contests. The schedule is as follows: April 30—U. of W. Relay Carnival, at Seattle. May 7—U. of W. Frosh, at Seattle. May 14—C. P. S., at Tacoma. May 21—Tri-Normal Meet, here. The first meet, coming in two weeks, will be the annual Carnival held by the U. of W.,.for entries in three classes. In the first class are the events for the University of the Pacific Coast. The second, or B class, is for smaller colleges and Normals; C class is for high schools. Coach Carver is anticipating a man in the Class B 100 yard dash and relay team in either the " medley, which consists of a 220 yard "dash, 440 yard dash, and 880 run and three quarter mile, or the mile relay which is four 440 yard dashes. Coach Carver has been making good use of the weather to get his men into their best condition and form so that he may decide who will take part in the Carnival. Vikings Meet Frosh One week later- at the University of Washington, the Vikings will compete with the U. Frosh. This will be a meet to test the metal of our best men. The outstanding University man is Rufus Kisen who holds the State High School records for the half mile and mile. Other than Kisen however, little is known and it may be that some of our men may bring home victories. The University track is a little faster than our own, so that our time may not show so slow down there. C. P. S. Strong. The third meet is somewhat more difficult. C. P. S. have some fast men this year. Tatem, their star 440 and. half miler of last year, known as the "Red Grange of the Northwest," is back. For- the dashes they have Don Darrow, a star sprinter from the Puyallup Valley. In the field events they haye one new outstanding man of State Championship form. This is Yanero who throws the discus and puts the shot. Of course these are only a few and the Vikings hope to show their Tacoma friends their heels" again this year.

Indians receive an .education different from the white children inasmuch as they receive their education from nature; -their language is the language . of nature. Three Classes of Indians. He explained that there are three classes of Indians. The lowest class is icomposed'of the strong men of the race who are usually slaves; the second class are more intelligent and are the hunters of the tribe, and the first class could be paralleled with white nobility. They are polite, honest, high minded, kind and brave. The Indian child is taught that above everything else he must be good and brave. Symbolic Legends Told. Indian life is built on symbolism and legends, each lesson that a child learns is given to him in terms of some legend thta has grown out of the experience of his forefathers. Mr. Shelton illustrated with the legend of the Fox and the Seal, the moral of which lies in a warning of how, to choose your company and be cautious in dealing with strangers. A story on the origin of the Indian costume was also related by Mr. Shelton. He told how in the long ago an Indian girl.who married below her class, was deserted by her tribe and left alo'ne with her husband and small son. The son grew very fast and became an expert with the bow and arrow. Every day he went into the forest to hunt and he brought home many skins. These skins he gave to his mother and told her to make him a suit from them. His mother dyed the skins in many bright and beautiful colors and made a suit for her son. The mother and father realized that their son was destined to become a great man, but this was impossible, due to the fact that they lived alone and no one would know him. They wanted him to leave them and seek her father's tribe, but he did not wish to leave his parents. The parents then decided to commit suicide and one day when the son was out hunting they threw themselves into the fire. The -son then left the old home and went North to seek his grandfather. After traveling many days he found his mother's people arid when he was a man he became chief of the tribe. Besides giving the history of the Indian dress, Mr. Shelton explained how this legend shows that one can start from nothing and- if he is good and brave he will become great. When the Indians signed the treaty with the whites they sacrificed their legends for the newer educational methods of the whites. The war bonnet worn by Mr. Shelton, together with other parts of his costume, was willedto him at the death: of a Yakima chief. . 0 On the evening of April 8, a kid party was held at Sunset Lodge. The new girls were duly initiated. Following the initiation refreshments were served. "The Oyster Gatherers", by John Singer Sargent, and "The Strolling Players" gt; by Edwin Abbey, two beau^ tiful pictures, have been added to the Normal art collection recently. They are Copely prints, hand colored in oils. John Singer Sargent was one of our greatest portrait painters. He was of American parentage, his father being a descendent of a long line of Revolutionary War patriots and his mother, belonging to one of the fine old families of Philadelphia. The artist's childhood days were spent in Italy.. , Painter Honored. When the Boston Public Library was ready for decoration, one portion, now known as Sargent gallery, was committed to the great painter. This excellent piece of' work, "The Prophets", was painted after he had traveled in the "east if or the Oriental influence which he sought to express. It is full of interest.-,."., Edwin Abbey,painter of the "Strolling Players", was born in Philadelphia. His greatest ambition in life was to paint. He first began his work as an illustrator for Harper's Magazine. .Here he _ achieved great success. Later, he took up his abode in England where he made an exhaustive study of the Shakespearian period. He was honored by a seat in the,Royal Academy. The "Strolling Players" is particularly interesting in. .composition, color and costume. His most notable achievement in America is his mural decoration based oh the legend of the Holy Grail, which adorns the walls of the Boston .Public Library. Abbey and Sargent were very close friends and spent much time, painting together in England. NORMAL SCiCIAL COUNCIL Kolstad Speaks at Spokane Meeting Mr. Kolstad, of the Education department, spent some time in Spokane last week, where he spoke at a meeting of the Inland Empire Education Association, and met with the "Committee of Seven" of the Northwest Scientific; Association. The work of the "Committee of Seven" was to outline a method of organizing an Institute of Research for the Northwest. As a beginning, the magazine, "The Northwest Science" has been published. The first number was issued this month. The following persons comprise the committee which has been working on the plans for the proposed institute: Dr. J. E. Kirkwood, chairman, Missoula, Montana; Dr. J. R. Neller, Pullman, Washington; Dr. George A .Downs, Spokane, Wash.; Dr. F. B. Laney, Moscow, Idaho; Dr. H. S. Brode gt; Walla Walla, Wash.; Prof. Arthur Kolstad, Bellingham; Dr. G. D. Shallenberger, Missoula, Montana. - Kolstad Gives Talk. Mr. Kolstad presented a short preliminary report to the Education and Psychology section of the Inland Empire Education Association on a study of interest analysis. Mr. Kolstad believes that, "through this rating scale superintendents and teacher training institutions of the Northwest may use a uniform system of reporting on inquiries concerning teachers. Also, it encourages careful judgments by restricting inquiries to only such items as are essential to an^ adequate report. By using this 'man-to-man' rating scale, accuracy, and reliability of judgments is greatly increased." '•'The Bellingham Normal is using this scale in rating the teachers and as the comments are all very favorable it is probable that this method of rating teachers will be used more and more," Mr. Kolstad stated. o FACULTY BUSY THO AWAY FROM HOME DRAMA CLUB PROMISES AMERICAN PROGRAM . An American program may sound very prosaic, but the plans for the next Drama Club meeting, Wednesday evening, April 20, are very interesting indeed. Katherine Hess will sing a group of American songs, Carrie Tucker will speak on "Fitch and the Foundation of American Drama," and Jack Kellogg will discuss "Moody and the Wild West Theme." Even American refreshments, according to Rella Ebeling, chairman of the refreshment committee, will be served, and they will be something quite new and different to suit the occasion. Three members of the Normal faculty are' on the program for- the meeting of the State Branch/of the Council for the Social Sciences which will be held in Seattle at- the University, April 23. C; E; Huff will take u p the subject of "Geography in" the Teadhing of the Social Sciences." Pelagius Williams will talk on "Recent Observations on the situation in Europe;'* and'Miss Bertha E.

OF OREGON CLUB At the' first Lowrey house meeting held this quarter, Myrtle Hawkins was elected house president, and Clarinda Pinerfcon chosen social director. - Dorothy Stearns, Elma Musotnen, and Gladys Brown went to their homes in Mount Vernon for the week-end. Isabelle Healan was taken ill last Wednesday. All the members of Lowrey House extend wishes for her early recovery. o__ Bachelor Box Florence O'Brien, of Monroe, spent her spring vacation with her sister, Alice, at the Bachelor Box. Grace Goerman is a neAV member of the Bachelor Box this quarter. Elizabeth Fraser, Mary Stephen, and Helen Lindstrom spent Sunday in Vancouver visiting friends. " W i l l the botany students get excused from their classes to go on the field trip, tomorrow?" "I should hope so.- There are only •two people.in the class." Only two people to. wander over the hills, searching for strange spe-' cies, of dandelions,; pussywillows, or wild cherry blossolnsy under the congenial supervision of Lyman .Phifer. And then,; too, they are two of our most prominent students. ; ' Left alone to find all tiesef specimens! Great risk, with all^ the spring fever germs- there are. in the air these days. "But," explains the only boy in the class, when this bold hint had been stated, "the only girl in the class is tracking down an entirely different plant from the one Lyman and I are following up. So all your insinuations are quite groundless." Nevertheless, it is this: type of class that is the most popular this time of year. Everyone wants to learn to play tennis—and who wants to stay shut up in some dull lecture course while the Nature Study stu-: dents in their, hiking clothes, wander over Sehome hill, up Sunset trail, and to the seashore? "After all," suggests one wise student; "it was our own choice to stay •here and study this spring, instead of loafing around some place." And with this sensible conclusion in mind the strong;willed put on their gas-masks to ward off the spring fever, open the windows wide, breathe deeply, and fall to studying once more. Eleven Teachers S e c u r e Posts Jenkins Hall. Eight girls from Jenkins Hall enjoyed a weiner roast on Sehome Hill, Sunday evening. • Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, of Mukilteo, visited Esther Pallas, Tuesday afternoon. Collett Inn. Janet McKenzie spent Friday and Saturday with Margaret McKay, at Big Lake. Mr. Melbyrne Wiley was the weekend guest of Janet McKenzie. The Oregon Club held a meeting April 6th to elect a vice president to fill the vacancy caused ' by the resignation of Edna Smith. After considerable discussion and two ballots Nelson Robinson carried the polls. Committees were appointed to work out the plans for the coming Oregon Club dance. Camp Fire Plans Meeting Here April 30 (Continued from Page One) Salisbury are driving back in their new Wiltys-Knight in time for the summer quarter. Miss Jones, Dean of women, is going* to Dayton, Ohio to be with relatives. On the way she is stopping at Salt Lake City, Denver and other places of interest. Toward the latter part of the quarter she plans to visit other relatives in Maine.

It was definitely decided to make the first issue of the Red Arrow a Christmas number. It is scheduled to appear one week before the end of the present quarter. Much enthusiasm and confidence concerning i t s publication was elicited by members of the club. In speaking on the future of the organization, and the; Red Arrow, President Endsley stated, "I airi. quite certain the Red Arrow will be a greater success-than ever before.

This Fall's task is rapidly coming closer. It is-Homecoming ,in many respects the most important single social event of die year. To engineer a successful Homecoming program is a hard job; It means a.great deal of work. But it is a job in which alKthe forces of the school can be utilized including the Students, Faculty, and Alumni. No other event requires more effort and co-operation than does Homecoming. But is it worthwhile? Those of us who have been here before know that it is. To paraphrase Anthony Euwer, "Home coming is tremendously worth."* It is so much so that we want this one to be better thah ever. The committees are at work already. If you are drafted to help, do so gladly. When the big time comes you'll be glad to have had a hand in it| Perhaps you are new. We're not very well acquainted yet, so volunteer to help. What you can do will be needed. BEAT ELLENSBURG Whatever else is needed to put over a successful Homecoming season, one thing is necessary. That is to Win the football game. To win over the deadliest rival is by far the sweteest revenge, the crowning event of Homecoming. ; jThis year we have an old score to settle with Ellensburg^ We have last year's defeat to avenge, the defeat which cost us the Tri-Normal title. We must defeat Ellensburg because she is chesty, because she will^come here expecting to win. We must defeat Ellensburg because the "old grads" will be cheering for a victory, expecting a victory. We must defeat Ellensburg because we have a better team, a better spirit, a better student body, backing up the team. What are we going to do to Ellensburg? We're going to B E AT ELLENSBURG! Pass the word along; tell the world; tell your friends; tell anyone who should ask you, and whether they ask you or not. Tell 'em "We're goin'g to B E A T ELLENSBURG!!*' fcfftTRXCK The abpve as you can reaidiiy see is a picture of St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland.

INTRODUCING Although the Freshmen may feel pretty well filled upon the Library at times, the Messenger is glad to present in this issue the first of a series of ^articles on various features by the Library, written by members of the Library Staff. This week the Card Catalog is discussed by Miss Lillian M. George. '•^.TIie-tMe-of Miss George's article is interesting; "The Cataloger Viewsthe Card Catalog." So is the article itself interesting. We hope you AVIII enjoy these features. They should give us a different "slant" on this important unit of the school. A N E W BACK PAGE , ••7^,™Bek* Messenger contains an innovation on the back page in the form of a club and social calendar. This; it is hoped, will act as an active reminder of these social events, besides serving as a more convenient way of assembling such information. The success of the calendar will not, however, depend upon the Messenger staff but upon the clubs ancTthe club reporters in their faithfulness in returning calendar events to the society editor. The plan has been inaugurated because it appeared to be worthwhile, but it will be largely up to those it concerns to keep it going. _ It will be the policy to keep the back page largely for club and social nf^' lo aid club and house reporters by explaining what was wanted of thenrm the way of news was the purpose,of a meeting of those people last Friday. Carrie Tucker,_ society editor, has charge of this work. She plans to have the back page in working order soon. Reporters who missed out on the meeting Friday are urged to get in touch with" Miss Tucker so that they can get their work out in an approved manner. This applies particularly to club reporters, many of whom are just being appointed. These are the ladies of the P. T. A. rendering, or should we say rending vocal selections at the wedding. After the wedding the poor little blushing bride meets with this terrible fate; a fate met so commonly by would-be women school teachers. AS WE SAID BEFORE Thei political manoeuvers accompanying today's election of a vice president appear to have been quite well executed. As the election i^ilu^ajre no); yet known the success of them is not yet determined. A s 0^gmeerM th^ nominations showed shrewd scheming, not on the part of Jany of the candidates but by the group which controls the elections within this school. §MM;W0W*to predict the resulksince another boy has made known ^m^M^y-H"e scneme as put through in the Tuesday assembly had •;.:ft?f^W''^ candidate.

There^ are fixedi rules generally accepted by all catalogers and .to the casual user or observer; catalogs are more or less mechanical and lacking in individuality. "•";,,' To the experienced cataloger no two are even remotely alike and especially is there little in common be-twen a catalog for a public library and one for a college or university library. The difference Use mainly iii the public served.. In a .public library, the simplest and most direct terms must be used because the patrons include people with very little education, foreigners, and children, as well as the most learned; a simple, direct form is intelligible to all and therefore best. College Catalog Different A catalog for a college or university library presupposes an intelligence above the ordinary and is made primarily for students. The cataloger ventuers to use .real names of authors instead of pesudonyms, technical subject headings instead of non-technical, and specific subjects instead of general. For example, in a scientific library the- specific subject ' ^ t p n e s ^w used; vvMle in a^pubiic library, a b^ok^deaUng with^"Ketones''^wbuidy doubttess,' be fotoid under^:th^;generalhea^ingr'!Or-ganic Chemistry." To the Educated, a catalog'' using'; technicai i;anaV(speci: fie pterins is;'moire useful than one using^ general tennis because it points directly to !the subject sought. Cross references are necessary in "'either ^yp*.-:-!" V-:"5 •;- •'."-" '-'v*v '•-:'-.-•""'::_;.':;"';".:: '• "1'''::"-' '.''"•'"'• The cataloger must- consider not only the book but the type of library and the user. She must have .sufficient knowledge to catalog, any book on any subject, in any. - language, and woe be unto her if a specialist who has spent his whole life being educated in one branch of knowledge, discovers an error! Many books deal with more than one subject and it is the duty of the cataloger to point the way to each; others are made up of essays or addresses and need many cards to direct the user to the valuable material in each part. Some books require one card, some forty. It is the aim of every conscietnious cataloger to make the card catalog a tol of the greatest efficiency.

Although the Blue and White outplayed Cheney throughout the fray, and carried the. oval to within scoring distance several times they lacked the punch to put i t over and had it not been for a successful aerial attack in the last five minutes of play, the Vikings would have trudged home sharing a tie score with the Savages. •'':•- Captain Harold Hawkings, dependable quarterback, started that memorable rally when he heaved a beautiful spiral pass to halfback Stanly Thompson who carried the ball to the 12 yard line. With the pigskin within scoring distance the Blue and White forward wall buckled down and opened up holes for Captain Hawkings and fullback Roy Armstrong, who on a series of bucks crossed the Cheney goal line for the winning count. - Twice Carver's charges placed themselves in a scoring position in the first half and each time the powerful Savage line withstood the Viking rushes and protected their goal line. Taking the oval in -the opening minutes of play the hilltop squad marched triumphantly to the 1 yard line where they were repulsed. The stonewall ability of the Viking forward wall prevented the Che-neyites from gaining ground on line bucks and end runs forcing them to resort to aerial tactics. In fact the Savages made only one first down through the line and was never in a scoring position. Captain Hawkings led the Viking offensive attack, directing the plays from his quarter post, carrying the ball for consistant gains and discharging with his passing and punting duties Avith unusual accuracy. Thompson and Armstrong were other shining lights in the backfield. Outstanding line performers were: Oscar Thorsen, Molyneaux, and Eddie Hyde. "Swede" Anderson, star end, was out of the contest with an injury. His wing post was taken care of by Cox, a strapping Seattle athlete. '.'••.•'..'•-'"; FROSH NEXT! Montana Blanked by U. of W.

On half of the lots in the rear a twelve foot, fill has been made to level up the "whole ground. The^ courts are laid out about ten feet Jjelow the level of the pavement and thus are situated in an ideal location. They will have an eighteen to twenty foot back space affording ample doom in any direc tion. Bleachers Avill be constructed on the further side of the courts and will have six to" eight rows of seats Pavement will be laid in one huge square covering the entire ground. Originally the courts were intended to be finished last spring but it was deemed very dangerous due to the fact that the ground had not settled, and tht.,there was danger the concrete might crack. It was decided to let the ground settle well over the winter, placing it in excellent shape for spring building, insuring • level and permanent courts. The surface of the courts is to be asphalt. o Horse-Back Riding to be Included in Sports This Fall There will be no regular horseback riding class this fall. Any experienced riders, who may wish to ride, may go on the recreational trips with Miss Keller on Wednesday or Friday" nights at five o'clock. • The charges will be fifty cents an hour. One hour's ride will count for five points. The first ride will be Friday October 21. Those who are interested, watch the bulletin board for further notice. Older Boys at "Y" Banquet The Y's Men club of Bellingham, with the aid of a number of prominent businessmen, sponsored a banquet for a group of twenty-five older boys at the First Presbyterian church last Monday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to start the young men to think. A questionnaire was passed out in which a good many phases of everyday life were taken up and also the question, where am I going to be ten or fifteen years from now, was asked. After listening to several after dinner speeches the meeting was adjourned to the small group meeting. The -boys then had the opportunity to mete individually the" business men each an expert in his line,-where the boys and the men talked over their problems an dbusiness desires. "This was just an experiment," said Lyman Judson, chairman of the meteing, and if it proves successful it will be tried over again with a different group of fellows." : STO : ~ ''•:''••:..''•' SPLASH HOUR IN Y.

The shop is a two-story brick building situated between the main building and the grandstand, Waldo field. , ;•'-/.'' .:';. The. printing shop is one" of the oldest departments in the Industrial Arts division and at the same time is probably the least known by the student body; The office is run by Mr. John Bissell, with the aid of five student printers, who are beginners in this field of work. This department supplies the Normal with practically all of its job printing at the lowest possible cost. Due to lack of experienced printers to compose the jobs and the lack of proper equipment, some of the,work is sent to the state printing office, at Olympia, Washington, where all public institution printing, is done free of charge. The mechanical equipment consists of two platen presses, run by motor power. These presses handle a ten-by- fifteen chase; the paper cutter will cut an 18-incli ream of paper. There is other small bindery equipment necessary to turn out the work of the school. The office is also equipped with two sets of double-type cabinets; it is also well-furnished with a supply of paper stock and ink. LECTURE TICKETS TO BE SOLD BY W. A.

These tests include, the basketball throw for distance, the twenty-five yard dash, the running high jump, tumbling and balancing. The scores made will form the basis for sectioning classes. : ; / ; / ; r-~",:: ,"\ . •' o '. \,_.'/ -..r...;'./•..• DORIS SMITH DIRECTS PORTLAND FESTIVAL ^.T^l^girls ;ia^ ^ow^U gt;-iij«lii^.ltfc^T^3^7 ihofuse//^ meeting; •}':{elei^dirv/^^sident,; Martha Stockdale;/^sTOial'c^irniw^ Ev«iyn:.;/Edwar^^||.iwp^^ ^a^i|^K'The^her"^m^r^ house are: Hannah Jones, Zella Scho-bel^ Cathefiner / ^ k i ; ^ I i o i s : / ^ ^ m ; ; Selma Hall, Lillian Larsen, and Doro-thy^ alb^Si-%:'-^ ::: gt;Re"cently Ga^su^ise^was";" giYeti/to' Evelyn Edwards for ;iher : birthclay; The "Irish Trick'? played^ on her proy-ed"; tp. beVa: good/ joke but'iahev was; willing to forget when she - received her gifts and' when the refreshments were/.seryed.i- gt; ./^ .'-.s.//;..;//:'/;;;,.,; This past week-end a get-to-gether party was held.

DISCUSS LITERARY CLUB Members in Favor of Forming an Organization for Advancement of Literary Abilities of Students. I BE IN SPRING FINISHED California Redwood Has Recently Been Placed in Front of Edens Hall. Is Twenty Years Old. EFFECT IS BETTER Yes, Yes, old Lord Ingersoll Wat-erbury was dying. As Ezry 0. O. Osgood, whose daughter, Effie, ran off and married that there ity fellow with his superior airs and fine clothes and had been to a Normal once, and Ezry himself was no back number and when in training could . spit half way across the Court House Square, well, as the above shows, Ezry always said Wataberry had it coming some day. When Lord Waterbury's daughter saw that her Ingersoll was running down, she called up her doctor to help him. "And dont forget on your way to get me a box of chocolates, too," cooed Eusta (for that was Eusta's name), as she snugly replaced the Teeeiver. Hardly had Eusta hung up the receiver, when the doctor, too, hung up his telephone receiver. Such is life. As Dr. Knockoff rode into the bright afternoon and breathed the country air he could smell the violets of spring mingled with onions and cabbage being cooked in the nearby farmhouses. Graduall the doctor walked up the steps and on into the house. Was it Fate that led him on? Quickly and rapidly he. was briskly taken to the large room where Lord Water-bury was stretched. There was a sinister and vapid look in her eyes as Eustaona-Ingersoll lifted the measily to the doctor's f§ce. Ah, what treachery was afoot! "Your father," lie hissed hissa-ntly, "has croaked." Just then Eustaona's little sister, Balena, aged 11 months, jumped in, little scamp that she was. At fjrst they all cheered, and how they all did laugh, for old Lord Waterbury often said he'd never live to be a hundred, and-'here he was only 99. But of all that motley crowd, little Balena laughed longest and loudest. Her little white Persian Spitz-Das-chund dog, Jansen, nudged her ques-tioningly. Balena, dauntless, flicked lier cigar-et butt into a convenient cuspidor before blurting "Heh, heh, Jansen, I was the only one who didn't buy the old man a-necktie for Christmas." (By Verta Teinpleton) Student officers for the winter quarter were appointed at the Board of Control meeting on Monday, December 13 Sverre Arestad was re-appointed editor of the' Weekly Messenger for the coming quarter. He has held this office during the fall quarter. • Bryan Hankins will finish his fourth quarter as business manger of the Weekly Messenger, as he was retained to carry out the duties of this position for the coming quarter. Wagner Elected Secretary. Several applications for secretary of the Board of Control were considered. Robert Wagner, who acted as secretary of the Board last summer, was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Theodore Cederberg, who will attend the University of Washington during the winter. The Board is pleased with the work Cederberg lias done while in office. It is expected that Wagner will have little difficulty in performing his duties because of his former experience. Writers' Club Discussed. The matter of forming a club for the advancement of creative literai-y ability among the students was considered by the members of the Board. The idea has been recommended very highly. It is hoped that this club will be organized at the beginning of next quarter in order that work might get under way. The club may issue a quarterly magazine of verse and prose. Routine affairs were considered at this meeting with George Allez presiding, Theodore Cederbersr, secretary. Plans of Work Were Made by O. E. Hoemdahl, Landscape Arch-itect. G. A. Da rk Does Wo r k . Carl Sandburg Author, Lecturer, Here Jan. 13 Work which was begun on the campus last spring is now being completed. At that time trees were removed from the front of the campus to the ends of the buildings. Trees from the lots, where the new library is to be erected, are being brought over to the campus. California Redwood 20 Years) It is interesting to note that the tree recently placed in front of Edens Hall is a California Redwood, called the Sequoia. It is 27 inches in diameter, weighs nine tons, and is the only one of its kind in this city. It is 20 years old and will in time tower above the hall. The idea in so placing it was to relieve the barrenness of the building. Other large trees have been placed on different parts of the campus. The bushes and trees in the bed around Edens Hall have been rearranged. Plans of this work were made by 0. E. Hoemdahl, landscape architect of Seattle. The actual work on the campus is under the direction of George A. Dack, who is a' regular employee of this school. Mr. Dack is the gardener and successor to Mr. Hendershott. Normal school students will be fortunate in their opportunity to hear Carl Sandberg who appears on the lecture course anuary 15, in place of David Dietz. This author and poet from the Middle West, has won additional recogintion in recent years since the publication, "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years." (A copy of this book is in the library and would make good reading for Christmas vacation). We take the following description from the Fort Worth Record: "He has the strong rugged features that match so strikingly the virile words he uses to build his poem cities. He has a broad mouth, with peculiar twists at the corners, the generous humor that makes you smile in appreciation, and chuckle, but never laugh. Even his shoes have comfort creases in them."

UNITE WITH NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Faculty and Student Tea Held Wednesday Invitations were extended to all students and faculty to the tea given by the Art department in the department rooms from three to five, last Wednesday! Margaret Burke arranged all the details and Jetral Templeton, Mary Margaret Doyle, Helen Lockkart, Leah Taft, Ester Buswell and others from the Art Department, assisted in pouring and serving. The faculty were sent invitations on Christmas cards made by the art classes. Christmas decorations of candles, wreathes . and covered lights lent a pleasing appearance to the rooms. A regular meeting of the W. A. A. was held on Tuesday, December 14, in room 108. The main purpose of the meeting was to decide whether or not the club should join the national organization. After a lively discussion it was voted that it should unite with the national organization. The point system of the club will be reorganized by a committee and next quarter,the.new system will go into effect. When this club is affiliated with the national organization, the members will be able to enter W. A. A. clubs of other schools and their points earned here will be accepted. This will be a great advantage as the club will be on the same basis as that of the U. of W. and W. S. C. It, was also decided to buy a club scrap-book in which to keep all news items of the club with pictures of teams and hikes. The girls voted to subscribe to the Sportswomen, and athletic magazine, which will be kept in the P. E. office. The members also voted to join the American Hockey Association for the purpose of keeping in close touch with the latest hockey news. ; Drama Club Play Shows Difference Between Dramatics and Theatrics OUR LAST WORD Yes we're going to beat it Before we're caught. We've been here awhile And we can't be taught. We've told our jokes And then sat down. There's nothing more v So we'll just leave town. And we'll say good-bye And end our rhyme. And wish you luck next year,. ; And fun .this Chirstmaa time. Playing to two large houses, the Normal Drama Club presented its first offering for this year, last Friday and Saturday evenings, Decem-mer 10 and 11. The vehicle used was "The Road to Yesterday," described on the playbill as a comedy in four acts. To produce "The Road to Yester-/ day" was a very daring endeavor of Miss Alma Madden, the Drama Club mentor. It was an interesting attempt and entertaining, proving even sublime at times. But, perhaps, it would be better to leave such an undertaking for the summer—for the Greenwood Theater. . Acting Better Than Voice. Beginning with the first act,, the show dragged miserably. Each- actor in his turn- leisurely ping-ponged lines instead of serving briskly and returning in like form. Also, playgoers do not forgive their players for unintelligible speech. During the second evening, however, the actprs were more willing to deliver themselves of their lines, thus to the mad joy of those in the outer crescent of the reserved seats. ' 'The Road to Yesterday" was distinctively an immature and amateur performance. Two regrettable handicaps .were suffered by the cast, viz.: immaturity and acquaintance with the audience. Of course, the latter is always the case at the Normal, and can only be overcome by the virtue of the acting or the play. Lack of experience possibly explains the weakness of most of the voices—a criticism never justifiable. Also, the actors in their assumed roles came In a summary of the recent series of talks given for the freshmen, Miss Rich has brought to mind the fact that the courses are given to prepare teachers for definite work in definite grades. In all of the curricula there are four groups of subjects presented; first the general introductory courses in literature, science and civilization. As the student gets into his special curricula work the courses vary according to the subject matter that is necessary in teaching of particular groups of children. The third group is the theory courses, in which education 1, 21, and 7 are prerequisites for education. After this comes the actual teaching practice and technique in which all questions that arise are supposed to be answered as clearly as possible. Wide Knowledge Necessary. All the curricula demand a breadth of knowledge and the development of the right ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 December 17 - Page 2 ---------- b y S t ^ t ^ A . ^ in ^ PoitofliM »t ^ MILLER^ SUTHERLBW PRINTIWC OXy P r i i i t ^ - ^ ^ SvUmption ntc by mail. $1.50 per year, in adranoe; tingle copie. 5 eeatt; ' ; . ; ; • Advertising Rate* on Application; r; ^ Addreii all communicatioM. otfcr than new* item., to The Bnaines.

RELATIVE A N D SECONDARY IMPORTANCE As the opinion indicates the traditions of the " W " club are worth more to the entire student body than the music rendered by the Cnucka-nut Manor orchestra in Tuesday's assembly. Although it would probr ably have bjeen tiresome to listen to the jazz for a whole hour, the taste we had was enough to key us up for the distinguished Thespian production that followed. Traditions may be all right, but in this case affected only a few. It seems as tho the many were very well pleased with the music. The music might have been of secondary importance to the W club stunts, relatively speaking. But judging from past performances or. vaudeville rendered by the club under discussion the students didn t miss anything by "the substitution at the last minute so to speak. On the Point of ^Agreeing. •-' ^ We don't always^greeVwith one another's Views and opinions.. If we did, there could have been no progress ; .• everything would remain stag-nan t/and everybody would feel contented.^ .With'., final., contentment, which is the synonym of tragic end and implied cessation, comes the birth of decadence, retrogression, degeneration, and that host of others which pronounce death. The son does not agree with his father, sometimes; the pupil differs., with., his teacher, on certain occasions; the lawyer does not agree with the judge, when the lawyer loses the case. I don't even agree with certain points in the Bible, and when someone would tell me that Jesus Christ is the son of a God that controls the destiny of the universe, I shall be on the parting point. The situation of differing in opinion: will always exist so long as the human mind works independently, as it has done since time immemorial. As a Roman philosopher says: "Tot humanae, tot sentential" COME ON. T H I N K A LITTLE; Y O U W O N T D IE Forward looking students in this school have long desired an organization by which the literary potentialities of our men and women can be developed. The single organization that could accomplish this would be a club where young aspirants of the pen could assemble and talk over their difficulties, hopes, and aspirations and endeavor to improve their writing. As an incentive to better work along any line, stimulus is necessary. It would be possible to provide this stimulus thru the club by having the choicest contributions published. In conjunction with this literary club a magazine of verse and prose is projected. No name has as yet been given the publication, which will be of magazine form with twenty-five to thirty pages. A suggestion has come to the Messenger that the official organ of the club could be "The Red Arrow." We suggest that any. name that students have in mind could be subimitted to the club for-their sanction. It would include the best of literary criticism, short story, essays, character writing. "The Red Arrow" would appear in the last month of each quarter, and edited by a member of the club, chosen by the other members. T h e magazine could be maintained by advertising enough of which could be secured from local merchants to cover expenses. A fee of five or ten cents could be charged each student for a copy of the magazine. Think this over during the Christmas vacation and come back determined to join the club and have your literary contributions printed in "The Red Arrow." CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS Christmas brings us back across the centuries to the epoch-making Age of Human History, when the advent of a man, born a genius and lived as a leader, turned a decisive bend in the course of civilization. Our memory delights in spanning the ages and ages that have made more sacred and rendered more lasting the reverence that the Christian world professes to the man for whom Christmas has come to be a permanent institution in the affairs of man. We live in an age quite different in countless aspects from that in which Christ was reared. We have, however, preserved-the beauty of His teachings, the marvels of His precepts, and the immortality of His soul. We have, furthermore, endeavored to enthrone Him on the highest pedestal of our memory to idolize as a hero, to revere as a patriot, and to honor as an emancipator. His place in the heart of civilized humanity remains firm and inviolable, unchanged and uncontested, so long as the influence of his gospels furnish the essence of the life of man. In solemn memory of Him, the Christian world will always worship on bended knee the saint and saviour that in the mind of man Christ has become; it will always sing the glory .and praise of his name; and it will always think of Him as the greatest benefactor the world has ever seen. Christmas time makes us remember Him with reinforced faith, strengthen devotion, and more religious fervor. Christmas ushers us closer to a more intimate acquaintance with Christ the man, Christ the genius, and Christ the hero. And Christmas carries us back across the centuries to the epoch-making birth of'Christ, whose memory we shall always revere, idplize_and immortalize. ' • ' ' ' - - WE C A N T WATCH Y O U ^ W i t h i n the next few days, six or seven hundred of you students will •scatter yourselves all over this state. A few-will trickle into Oregon, Idaho and Montana. This reveals an interesting enlistment at the Normal. We are proud of their choice, appreciate it, and hope the Normal has made its return ' in profits and pleasures. • T w o weeks is a long time for a vacation—one-sixth of a quarter. That's a rummy way of stating, mathematically speaking. Most of you will have a good time, though you don't deserve it, by virtue of the work you've done, but, then, "next quarter you'll work harder." To some the fortnight will be a limited parole, to others a period of rest and convalescence, and, still; to others there will be two ^weeks of perfect indolence, parties, necking, andl what youwill.

'•,'••1'::-;.-_;•. Facts and Theories. We will then eventually come to know that argument, or any expression of thought, lias as its origin one of two sources—facts and theories— or both. Yet that branch of philosophy, Logic, has taught us to take care in jumping to conclusions from the seemingly reliable premise of facts or statistics, for the results thus obtained are not always reliable and accurate. So much, so with theories, the body and soul of philosophy. Scientific researches and investigations, and philosophical speculation have time and again demonstrated the variable fluctuation of conclusions merely based upon theories. All these only go to show that an argument, an opinion, or a thought is only a child of an individual's mental labor, supported by facts or theories, and born with attendant arid inevitable faults of its own. Ideals. There is in everything, I hold and maintain, a quality which I may call "ideal.' One individual has certain ideals of his own choice, to which he hitches his cherished ambitions, and to which he dedicates the very best of bis dreams -and labors. All his achievements revolve- by nature around that original nebula of his vision. To this apex of perfection graduated by one's ideals, one thoughts and deeds are consecrated, religiously, firmly and inviolably. . The Ideal Teacher. Now, then, well might we ponder and ask ourselves: what is an ideal teacher ? To me he is that kind of a teacher who teaches both by precept and by example. Of this kind Jesus Christ is a fitting example. The ideal teacher makes it a part of his duty and obligation to extend his services beyond the confines of the textbook; to rally to the help and meet the need of his upils, who not only are working on the right kind of preparation for their hcosen field of service, but are, as they go along, being confronted with strange problems of life, the early solution of which is of paramount significance to their future lives. To this field of service, the ideal teacher., is challenged, and rightly he must unhesitatingly answer the call. The pupils regard the teacher as a mentor, a guide and a counselor, and the ideal teacher must not fall short of this. I would immediately lose .my confidence and respect for the teacher who cannot at any time accept the challenge of the problems of his pupils, and who cannot help solve, or hesitates to solve, the doubts and paradoxes faced by his pupils- I would consequently consider that long string of academic symbols of scholarship: A.B's, M.A's, Ph.D's, LL.D's, etc., ornamentally appended to his otherwise illustrious name, as having been conferred, upon him in vain.

As a result of pre-season meetings of representatives of the various teams to be entered in the : men's Intra-Mural Basketball League, it has been agreed to, begin the ahedule the second week in January. At a session of Coach Carver and team managers of the Philos, Co-ops, Freshmen, and , Independents, held Tuesday evening in Carver's office, preliminary plans for the organization of the league were discussed. Hank Durr represented the Philos; Tommy Marsden, the Go-op; Theo Norby, the Frosh; and Bill Morse, the Independents. Several clubs notably the Thespian, Rura 1 Life, who are counted on to round out the league membership, failed to send anyone to the meeting. Five Day Eligibility Rules. Eligibility rules formed the chief subject of discussion. It was agreed to have five-day eligibility required, thus permitting a team to enter^new men each week. Games will be played at 4 o'clock two afternoons a week— probably on Tuesday and Thursday. No Varsity or Supervarsity players will be allowed to participate in games but two Junior-Varsity members will be allowed on eash team. One of the students is to refei-ee all league contest. As Norman Vance, who handled the whistle last summer, is~still in school, it is hoped that he will be able to take the assignment. Co-op Has Organized. The Co-ops already have organized their entry and look to have an invincible outfit. With Maurice Bliz-ard Joe Hermsen, Al Brown, "Bill" Wananiaker, Tommy Marsden, and Talmadge Gray in the line-up, the book store boys present a strong front. The Freshmen began preparations for the season and already have several good men trying out for their team. Hurray! Basketball season is here again, girls! We're going to have a big Sports "Rally, January 3, at"4 o'clock, in the big gym, and elect our general managers. There's going to be some keen competition this year, and those girls who turn out and stay with the game are going to be the winners. Both Intra-mural and class games will be played off during the quarter. Any Junior or Senior girl are urgec to turn out for basketball. We should be able to work up a splendid upper class team and give these worldly Sophs and tricky Freshmen some real competition." Come out for the rally! Following is a schedule for practices during the winter quarter: ? Basketball: . Monday—Wednesday at 4. Tuesday—Thursday at 4. Tuesday—Wednesday at 3. Volley Ball: Tuesday—Thursday at 4. Swimming: Monday—Wednesday at 4:45. Hiking and riding schedules will be announced later. If enough girls are interested," a riding class will be formed.

Swinuning and Volley Ball Teams Underway. out of their character many times, revealing the personalities flaunted every day in the halls and in the classrooms. Often the audience could virtually see the printed words of the manuscript. Incongruities of Staging. On the professional stage when actors have become tired, a part of the play is exaggerated. This burlesquing of serious lines is called "kidding the show." Much of this "kidding" was unconsciously done in "The Road to Yesterday," emphasized by certain incongruities, such as the hauling out of a treacherous cai~ving knife to gouge out hunks of submissive Angel Food cake for a couple of ruffians. That the audience laughed in wrong places was not condemnable, for audiences want to laugh at times, and the comedy characters were very loath to let them.. v . Noticeable in the production was the beautiful lighting and scenic effects. Many marveloiis and delicate scenes were produced complemented with good pantomime. Johnson and Mock Well Cast. As a young American chap visiting London, Ralph Johnson was pleasing. His playing was easy, good-natured, and free from over-acting. The brevity of bulk in the build of . bully "Bill" Mock in real life would hardly hold Or terrify the "likes of" Ralph Johnson. Certainly, Mr. Mock was not a type. But by good voice control, smooth and careful actions, he gave the truest and most able acting, in his interpretation " of -the stern Lord Strangevon. Shyness in Florence Crueger's portrayal of Elspeth Tyrell made the characters represented by Mr. Mock and Mr. Johnson much more pronounced than they should have been. In many places, such as her masquerade of a boy, Miss Crueger proved very charming, and much of her self-consciousness was lost. As a buxom matron, Olive Hardan was very sincere and was greatly appreciated by the audience. Ralph Huff made very little of Adrian Tompkyns, supposedly one of these swank English scions which a playwright learns from his primer will convulse the American audience into hysterics. Then, too, it was •possible that Mr. Huff was reserving his hiStronic talents for the middle acts in which he created a very humorous character. - Play Is Different; The theme of "The Road to Yesterday" was neither happy nor inspirational. Nbtjjha't every play must be happy and inspirational, beause ; a satisfying and fascinating substi-trite is in fantasy and in imagination. The play was. a valuable experiment, as it showed the possibilities ; of the Normal's stage; What is more, Mr. Henderson, assistant manager of the Seattle branch of the L. C. Smith Co., went over the typewriters and other office equipment here last Monday. — -o The girls of Viking Manor entertained Miss Evelyn Small at a birthday dinner, Saturday, December 11. The table was decorated in Christmas appointments. The centerpiece was of holly arid crimson candles. Favors were small candy dolls dressed in green and Christmas greeting cards. A large white birthday cake was the feature of the dinner. Miss Small received many lovely gifts from her friends. The evening was spent in dancing. Miss Hortense McMaster, who is leaving shortly for Alaska, where she is going to teach, resigned the presidency of Viking Manor, and Miss Agnes Noyes was elected her successor at a special house meeting called Friday, December 16. o—; A birthday party in honor of Betty Taylor was given last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Gwinette. Those present were: Dorothy Ross, Rella Ebeling, Rossie Burns, Hazel Jewett, Julia Grey, Frank Jackson, Cedou Gwinette, Audrey Gwinette and Betty Taylor. o ELLSWORTH LUMLEY ELECTEDJRESIDENT1 Ellsworth Lumley was elected president of Thespian Club at a special meeting of the members, Thursday noon, December 9, a t which time the other officers for the winter quarter were decided upon. Elsa Pearl will fill the office of vice-president with Irene Schagel as secretary and Floyd Hendrickson as treasurer. Many ballots were cast before. a majority could be gained for some of the offices. Erskine Baker and George Stevens, students here last year, took a trip to Alaska this summer and traveled much while" there. George stayed and is teaching three hundred miles from Nome at Kotze-bue Sound, at Deering. He plans to do some writing before coming out. Erskine is at home in Grandview and has written to Mrs. Lovegren. W.A.A. BANQUET HELD IN EDENS HALL SAT. All Star Hikers Team Will Be Announced at Banquet in Spring. Those Attend Most Honored. A large crowd attended the W. A. A. banquet held Saturday night in Edens Hall dining room. The table was decorated with holly, and candles and the Christmas idea was carried out in the decorations. N Each girl was given a list of songs which were sung during the banquet. The Sophs and Frosh each had a class song. ^ Fomia Wakins made a clever toas-mistress and introduced each speaker with a bit of original wit. Speeches were made by Vesta Larsen, Miss "Skalley and President Fisher. Mrs. Fisher favored the girls with a piano selection. Sport Reviews Given Sport reviews were given by Alice Nelson,.Edna Muner and Clara Titer. Presentation of the all-star honorary teams were made by Miss Keller and Miss Weyhmatnn. Each girl making an honorary team was given a card with a gold star telling why she was chosen for the team. Guests of honor at the banquet were: President and Mrs. Fisher, Miss Jones, Miss George and Evelyn Clark, last year's president of the club. GIRLS OF EMOH HALL HAVE XMAS DINNER (Continued- fromvPage One) The girls of Emoh Hall entertained Tuesday evening, December 14, with a Christmas dinner and party. Dinner was served to about 33 girls and a few visitors. The visitors were: Bud Bunnell, Kenneth Smith, Ray Suley, Fred Roberts, and William Atwood.

Misses Jones and Rich are planning a co-operative Christmas dinner for about twelve faculty members who are remaining in Bellingham for the holiday vacation. o OPEN CONFESSIONS OF MURL DRAKE bility, dependability and sense of re-sponsibility^ these, therefore, should be the essential attributes of :the ideal Normal girl." • ~ Miss Jones explained why the ideal Norinal girl should , possess these qualities. She said that trustworthiness is very essential froiri the viewpoint of the employer; the ideal Normal girl must be reliable and dependable or she cannot be entrusted with an important work; and she must have a sense of responsibility, or her work cannot be of an A-l quality. "And the ideal Normal girl must be willing to work, to do l e r very best in everything that is given to her to do," emphasized the Dean with a sudden turn in her revolving chair, which produced a faint squeak. Miss Jones believes that books are not all that the ideal Normal girl should have in her mind. She must at the same time guard and attend to her health, as it Is the best asset of a student. She should, therefore, have lots of fun while she is in school, opines the Dean. "Miss Jones," I had enough audacity to ask, "how do you define the habits of the ideal Normal girl in school, in the home, in society? What should be her attitude toward frequent dates, excessive dances, unmod-erated movie-mania, and up-to-date smoking?" "Well, I think we shall leave those things to the girl," advised the Dean. "But," she added, "the ideal Normal girl must have enough common sense to know PPPPP

This play, in startling contrast to the fall and winter quarter productions, is a three-act comedy full of detectives and policemen and lost papers and three ghosts, reported as dead in the. war. It gives a remarkable chance to the young dramatists in the work of character portrayal, especially the parts of "Old Sweetheart," Miss Woofers, and "Spoofy." All three acts take place in the home of "Old Sweetheart," in the poorer quarters of London.

After the .business ^meeting refreshments were served by 'Mrs. Griace Collett^ --'/:•:' The mid-Victorian gym suit so long in^vogue is about to be replaced by i a garment more characteristic of the present day style of dress. The new suit will do away with the voluminous bloomers and substitute close fitting black flannel knickers, a' neat white blouse, and black tie for the flowing pantaloons we have seen cavorting about the gym and playground. The girls turning out for sports may wear a colored flannel jumper, which will be purchased separately from the standard suit. The gym classes Friday afternoon were treated to a fashion show of new styles of suits. The one selected by the department was very popular with both classes. The new suits are not only better looking but are more practical as the knickers can also be used for riding or hiking. They are also more hygienic, as the blouse can be laundered a great deal easier than the bulky, black costumes. . . The new suit will be on sale in the Co-op next October and will be used as the standard dress for all physical education classes. Devine Talks Qri National Issues - International Affairs Concerning China, Russia, Mexico, and Italy Are Discussed. Viking Vodvil Acts Pass Judges Two Receive Committee's Approval, While Rest T r y Again for Okeh. Eight acts went before the footlights and the committee of judges last Friday night. Two came out with the official O/K., two flunked, and the remaining four tried out again last evening, together with four others that were not ready for the first tryout. The results of last night's tryout will" be published in the next issue of the Messenger. Variety in Choice of Acts. The variety is good gt; there, being music, comedy, tumbling, dancing, singing and pantomime. Twelve acts were out to gain a place, but only six will be chosen. A movie will precede the vodvil acts on the night of the show. The committee is as follows: Miss Madden, speech; Miss Moore, music; Miss Skalley, P. E.; Miss Mead, ethics; Miss Plympton, art. Edward T. Devine, Dean of the Graduate School of American University, Washington, D. C, has spent this week in presenting to the students some of the world's nationalistic movements. Mr. Devine's lectures have been presented under two series, Political Movements, and Outstanding Social Problems. In the first lecture given at three o'clock Monday afternoon, the "Nationalistic Movement in China" was presented as being based upon the lt; compactly formed National People's Party organized by Sun Yat Sen on the basis of Russian Soviet ideals. Teacher Interested in Community • Following the next lecture concerning the formal fall and rise of Turkey, came a discussion of the great wealth and the greater waste in the community. "Those who would select a teacher's career must among numerous things be interested in the occupational activities and the economical organizations of the community, and must at the same time know the problems and needs of the community, for in great truth, the teacher is the only person who is interested in the community as a whole." "Wealth," according to Mi-. Devine, "is a command of resources and a means of satisfying the human wants." . Russia Considered "That the Nationalistic Movement in Russia," the organized and patriotic Communist Party is followed in interest by all Russian classes," was stated by Dr. Devine, in his fourth lecture. The Mexican problems were laid before the students and general public, in an address at the auditorium Wednesday evening. Culminating the week's lecture course, Dr. Devine spoke on "Crime, Its Treatment and Punishment," and "The Social Aims of Education." _ o ELECTIONS TO BE HELD Tuesday, April 19, there will be held a Women's League assembly a t which candidates for president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer and faculty advisor, will be voted on. These officers will be active during the remainder of this quarter and also during the fall and winter quarters of the following year. Petitions are now on the bulletin board for nominations of these candidates. Mathematics Holds Important Place In Modern Civilization-Prof. Bond We are living in a changing world, one changing in our ways of making a living, one changing in our social relations of individual to individual, and individual to group;. one changing in our philosophy of life and estimates of proper conduct. These changes are affecting in no small degree the task of working out an educational program. The heredity of that handed down to our children must be reorganized about their problems. The evil of tradition I s \ that the inheritance is handed down as fixed rather than as subject to the reorganization implied above. Educational engineers—that body of educators that shape the aims and the ideals of education and that select the materials to accomplish these aims must be students not only of children and their problems, but of the social needs and.the shifting ten:" dencies of our "people. '. Teachers of-today'-must know; they must be students of economic problems, of our political problems, of world problems. Math. Teachers Important It is the very great privilege of teachers of mathematics to make their very important contribution, to ?tin understanding of these problems by giving their quantitative interpretation. In doing this there are as r see it, two major aims that should govern the teaching of this important subject. One of these is the task to equip the children with the mechanics of - arithmetic—the simple skills needed to do the world's com. puting. In this sense mathematics is a tool subject, just as English, history, biology, scjehce, etc., are tool subjects in so far as the facts and skills are taught, not for their own sakes but for the sake of their application in expression, in social relations, in proper living in eugenics, etc. The second one of the aims of the teaching of mathematics just as the art side—the utility, side—the application to the needs of our day of - the other subjects of our curriculum is the ability to put into use in its natural setting the scientific phases of the subject. This aim of teaching of mathematics implies the acquisition of mental; habits and attitudes which will give the ability to see and to interpret the quantitative side of life's problems and to give' them precise' expression. This latter aim then implies that FRIDAY—April 8. Normal Drama Club dinner dance, Fine Arts building; at 6.p; m. Party at- Edens Hall for entering Freshmen girls, a t 8 p. m. SATURDAY—April 9.

Or should he be content with lower grades and ^pend the rest of his school life in forming friendships and in association with his fellow-men?^. Recently this question has been much discussed. Some believe that the student who sticks strictly to his studies and makes a high scholastic record is more credit to his school when he goes out to teach than the one who has thought other things as important as high grades. Others maintain that he who has not had the chance to mingle with his fellow students is not likely to mingle with the people with whom he must work and does not gain their confidence. It would seem that working with others and being interested in the various activities is as important as working for grades. Advertising the Messenger in the Messenger is somewhat like carrying coals to Newcastle. But student opinion, expressed in Campus comment, leads us to feel that the Messenger is meeting a real student need with an efficiency heretofore unexperienced. The Messenger has never proclaimed itself to be more than an organ of student opinion. And it is through student comment that we of the staff are informed of the success or failure of our efforts to interpret the voice of the student body politic. The Messenger is your paper. It is our highest wish to write the things that you want, The action of the student body in endorsing the Board of Control's recent decision to substitute Campus day for Sneak day is convincing proof of the Board's ability to accurately guage student opinion. The-sincere discussion in the Student Forum proceeding Friday's vote on Campus day is a sign that student affairs are in an exceptionally healthy condition. An inane, uncaring student body is. a direct indication that secrecy and monopoly are practiced by a controlling minority. Under such a regime those who do arise to discuss a debated question are but a few insincere petty iconoclasts, who propound their." doctrines to assuage their . o w n egos, Friday's discussion, on the contrary, proved conclusively, that the students are thoroughly alive to current campus problems. subject. Now and then a school adopts severe measures to combat the evil. Happily, ,we have no such question here at BeUingham Normal School. Nothing has ever been said here publicly about smoking. It is^not necessary. Common sense ewhich should always dictate conduct in this case says "No". The fact that this, is a teacher training institution automatically puts the stamp of disapproval on smoking. Much of this satisfying state of affairs is directly.. traceable to the conduct of Mr. George Allez and his co-workers on the Board of Control. Due credit should be given these seven men and women who spend untold hours working for the good of the student body. The Board's ability to so accurately, forecast student opinion is a tribute to the character and ability of its members. The Messenger has never engaged in controversial quibbles, either pro or con, upon matters requiring student decision. We feel, however, that the students are to be commended upon their action of last Friday. The move is distinctly a change for the better. CLASS WORK The competition between teachers for positions is resulting in "the survival of the fittest," the fit being, not only those having the most experience in teaching, but those who "have received the most training. Each year more and more of Our students, after being graduated from the two-year course, feel that it would be to their advantage to spend another year in preparation for their work as teachers. Because of this desire for further work in teacher training, a third accredited year has been added to our curriculum. The addition of the third year is a comparatively new thing and the courses are not so satisfactorily worked out as it is hoped they will be in the future. Many of the third year courses are a repetition of those already taken, "while others are a continuance and specialization of the work of: the first two years. More courses are needed and a wider range of choice of these courses is necessary because of the Increasing number of students taking up third year • work. The state is raising the educational requirements for its teachers and is the opinion of educators that three years of Normal work will be required before very long.

Dazzy: That ain't no rug! That's my roommate's bath towel! - Miss Olea Margarine I love the college girls. The staff photographer considers himself very fortunate in being able to plow through the crowds of admirers and get a close up of Miss Olea Margarine as she appeared in the first hall after registering for the spring quarter. Miss Margarine was a member of Earl Carroll's Vanities, a show •which recently passed through this city. She is considered one of America's finest actresses, and is noted for her great character work in 'The Answer to a College Boy's Prayer," in which production she played the part of the answer. Local co.-eds look with dejection on Miss Margarine's arrival, since it has been her habit heretofore to take three and sometimes four men along when she steps out. In a public statement, Miss Margarine said, "I may gain the enmity of the girls of this school, but oh, boys, look me over. I am not in the least affected by the jealous glances I receive. My motto has always been, 'For Butter or Worse'." When asked what she thought of the men of the school, Miss Margarine answered by saying-, '"Just darling! The one I think, who has impressed me the most is a short, dark, wicked looking little man, who I learn has been recently made editor of The Weekly Messenger." She then astounded -a group of listeners by revealing the fact that she has already received an anonymous letter asking for a date. "The letter," stated the bewitching young debutante, "was signed—Sver-re A., whoever that is. I shall, however accept the proposal of this enamored young man, and meet him in the Chuckanut tunnel, sometime Friday night, as he suggests. Miss Margarine requests that another gentleman be furnished for that evening since she will soon be joined by her sister, Miss Hogg, of Seattle, better known to the public as Miss Aunt Eppie Hogg. We shall be honored indeed in hav-. ing these two young ladies among us and wish them much success in their campaign for larger telephone booths.

Students who, laboring under the impression that "Campus Day" is unpopular and undesirable, will be converted to the other belief when we go to Normalstad for a day of pleasure and "work." * * « *• ' Last quarter the "Hed Arrow" made a favorable impression upon both students and members of the faculty. The next issue of the magazine (the one under way for the present quarter) will be released about June third. The desire is.to have a more varied choice of contributions for subsequent issues. The June publication will contain features, short stories, poems,, essays aiid travel stories, written by members of the Scribes Club, and by such members of the faculty who have an inclination to wax brilliant. The very fact that a number of acts, presented to the committee of judges for entrance into the Viking Vodvil, failed, is only one indication that tends to show that the performance will be of high quality this year. Dr. Devine who, contrary to his jwn statement, has been entertaining the students for the past week. Opening his series of lectures with a presentation of Chinese Nationalistic ideals and attainments, stressing • the relation between the U. S. and China, elaborating upon Russia's influence in China; and clarifying the motives underlying the Chinese revolution, Dr. Devine won the interest of the students from the first, and has held it throughout the-week.

In the first match of the Tennis Ladder Tournament, which is put on to determine the members of :the Varsity team, Bob Fisher set too hard a pace for Harold Houlton to follow, defeating him, 6-2, 6-0.

John* FitzGerald, number three single man last year, was in Bellinghain over the week-end, and secured these contests.

Nel Robinson had no trouble at all disposing of "Ponti" Kellogg in love sets. He upheld his reputation by steady forehand-and backhand driving which has proved such. a Waterloo to all other varsity aspirants. Robinson has yet to be forced to the line by Normal players, but he has not met Myer Thai, ^sterling leftr hander who is counted on to win one of the varsity places.

It will be available to any young man, now an undergraduate in any college or university. ' - .

That English classes can lend themselves to other things besides rhetoric and literature was shown last quarter by the eighth grade at Laurel, when they started a sidewalk building project in their English class, under their room teacher, Ben-net Howard. WheiTthe interest in the new walk was aroused the student teacher, Dan Beighle, took over the work as a problem in industrial arts and mathematics. All the figuring necessary to determine the,amount of materials to.bo used and the total cost of the walk was done by the pupils in connection with their arithmetic work. Letters were written by the pupils to obtain the necessary information concerning the cost of materials, hauling expenses, possibilities, and so forth. As a part of the preparation before building all available material on concrete and the building of concrete walks was read by the class. All the actual work from grading and setting the forms to the'finishing of the walk was done by the pupils of the eighth grade. This involved setting up and running a small mixer, power furnished by a Ford, wheling and tamping, and other processes necessary in laying concrete. Part of the finishing tools were made by the boys. There was little work that the girls could do but they showed themselves willing to help, whenever possible. The .walk completed is four feet wide and semi-circular in shape, running from two gates seventy feet apart, in the school yard fence, to the front steps of the school house. o LEARNED PEOPLE ON SUMMER FACULTY (Continued from Page One) N.

In connection with this aim, moreover there should be set up an appreciation of the part that mathematics is playing in the development of our civilization, particularly in science, in industry, in" conveniences of life, and in philosophy. In accordance with these objectives the materials of class room instruction in mathematics have greatly changed. We teach children now not arithmetic—algebra, etc. -There has been a .'very thorough reorganization of the content ©f courses. Elimination of useless, the centering of attention on these objectives, thtf study of the needs of our people and the choosing materials within those needs, has resulted. I do not jthink we have gone far enough yet in that direction. As I see it" there are two avenues of change yet needed; first, a still greater insistence that the work be limited to the needs. May I illustrate with the example of addition of fractions: 1—1-2, 1-4, 1-8. II— 1-3, 1-0, 1-9. The fractions whose units are expressed in the margin are all that will ever need be added, and seldom is there a need to add one of Group I to one of Group II; arid second, ;a greater insistence on accu-. racy of fundamentals and accuracy in quantitative thinking. ByDeanDevine The International Relations Club sponsored the lecture given last Wednesday evening by Dr. Devine, Dean of the Graduate School of American University. Dr. Devine spoke on present problems in Mexico. Original plans called for a talk by Dr. Devine before the members of the club at their regular meeting scheduled for that date. It was thought that an opportunity should be extended to the public to enjoy a lecturer of Dr. Devine's repute, so the program was transferred to the assembly and the public invited to attend. Several new officers of the club were installed at the first meeting of the Spring Quarter. Miss Mc- Lane became vice-president, Mr. Robinson assumed, the duties of club reporter, and Mrs. Albers and Mildred Stratton were added to the program committee. SCIENTISTS TO WRITE TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA The Social Science Club met at the residence of. Pelagius Williams, advisor, April 2nd, at which time the following officers were elected: Clifford Duncan, president and Students' Organized Club representative; Arlene Short, vice president, and Evelyn Tawlkes, Sec. and Treas. I t was decided that while the club was studying Czecho-Slovakia, they would write to some friends of Mr. Williams in that country for "inside dope." On his leave of absence, which he spent in Europe last fall, Mr. Williams gave considerable study to the schools of Ireland and England. He gave an interesting talk on these, and other schools and places abroad, which were featured by pictures. Later in the evening refreshments were served.

Our own Bernard Sullivan was interviewing her as he thought regal articles would go over bigger in "tapping the line with Sully" than Y. W. C. A. notices. "You know, Sully," coughed Her Majesty, as Sully firmly but politely refused the cigaret of a St. Louis firm which she had pressed on him, "It's a toss-up whether to lunch at the Chuckanut Manor or at the Normal Cafeteria, while passing through your rich country, abounding in resources, its delightful climate." A child could tell you that the Chamber of Commerce had peddled a lot of bulletins even into Rumania. Deftly the queen removed a diamond studded tiara, and scratched her head.' With that trained and alert mind that Sully continually carries with him, he .could tell that she was thinking. Man of action that he is, Sully did nothing. "My daughter, Ileana—or something like that, is still, well, very young—^and unmarried." Here she gave a knowing wink at iSully. "I've decided when II—II..." "Ileana," whispered Sully. "Thank you, my young friend. When she is an old lady like me," and the queen waved Sully aside as he was- about to protest, "I have decided that Ileana shall go'to. Belling-: Jham and help dedicate the breaking of the ground f»r your library."

Coach Sam Carver's Viking grid-ders have been going through some stiff workouts this week, in preparation for what will probably be the most crucial encounter of the season. The Bellingham-Ellensburg game, scheduled to be played in the eastern city's arena at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, will without a doubt put both teams to their utmost. Ellensburg, on its record this year, appears strong. The Tri-Normal title is at stake in tomorrow's battle, consequently a win for the Bellingham team will mean much. Coach Boy Sandberg's Eastern Washington team holds victories over two strong squads in the junior conference, namely, the U. of I. Frosh and the U. of W. Frosh. For the first time in many years, Ellensburg is conceded a good chance of defeating both of its Normal rivals—Bellingham and Cheney. Ellensburg Powerful. Ellensburg holds a 6-0 verdict over the U. of W. Frosh, while Normal played a 0-0 tie with them. All indications point to a close and exciting contest. Coaches Carver and Keeney have been drilling the squad all week in preparation for this important game. Many combinations have been worked on. In the last two turnouts only one-half the men that started the initial game of the season have been practicing on the first squad. Both the line and backfield have seen radical changes in their personnel. At center, Don Stickney and Eddie Hyde are having a stirring battle for the position. On Wednesday Blizzard and Baxter were at the guard posts, neither of whom saw service in the opening contest. Blizzard, after a slow start, has been improving rapidly. Shelton and Chris-man seem to have the. tackle positions well in hand. Thorsen and Drake are doped to start at the end positions tomorrow. With Edmundson and Brown in reserve, four strong wing men will be on hand. (Continued on Page Three) Former Normal Football Star Is Accidently Killed RICHARD BRULAND, Former Normal Football Star Richard Bruland, formerly a student at the Bellingham Normal, was electrocuted at Ellensburg at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, while working at a hydro-electric plant in that city. Bruland was well known throughout the state of Washington, through his. wonderful ability as a football player. He played quarterback on the Normal eleven in 1923 and 1924. He was by .far the best general that ever donned a Viking football suit. During his attendance at the Normal, Bruland made many friends. He was,1 well .liked by those with whom he came in contact. .'The students ;.,: of the Normal school join with Brulahd's relative^ and.; hosts of friends in an acknowr; ledged bereavement and expression of .heartfelt': sympathy for his deatH.\ fudge Ben Lindsey Gives Interesting Tall to Students "In the school the teacher molds the life' of the child as does the potter his clay, according to his artistic ideals,' was the substance of Judge Ben Lindsey's address to the students in the auditorium on Wednesday morning. In commenting on his interview with Edison, the genius inventor, Linndsey quotes, "I would like to be a teacher, because to me there is nothing more inspiring to deal with than a machine of flesh and blood. To deal with life is the highest ideal a man can realize. In learning we must combine the faculties of the eye with the faculties of the ear. Terrific explanation of child psychology is necessary to understand child behavior. In a way, and just in a way, is there a comparison between the machine and the child. This comparison is not without some worth however. There is intelligence even in matter, in steel. The future of the world might be shaped by the way children are brought up. A boy of fourteen contributed more to the radio than any other person. The five to fifteen year old kids of today will be the new Columbuses." In the course of his lecture Judge Lindsey mentioned Marconi and Bur-bank. He gave their views of modern education and the child. Judge Lindsey gave several concrete examples to conclusively prove how the attitude of the state toward juvenile criminals has changed from one of violence and force , to one of tact, skill, knowledge based on bioligical, psychological and physiological facts, and patienct, which involves infinite time. The conclusions concerning child psychology and juvenile criminals held by the Denver Judge have been acquired through actual experience rather than through reading. FACULTY MEMBERS AT W.E. A. MEETING Miss Rich Speaks on "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," Thursday Afternoon. The Washington Education Association, which is meeting in Seattle yesterday and today, is attended by many of the Normal faculty. The training school is closed for these two days. The Normal teachers will have a special luncheon Friday noon. Miss Mary Rich spoke on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Professional Aspects of Teacher Placement," before the Department of Classroom Teach-errs of the National Education Association of the United States, at Broadway High. - Also on Thursday and Friday noons, there was a luncheon by the National Association of Women in Adminstration, which brought women with common problems together. ; The faculty members who attended were: ..

A bonfire, serpentine, banquet, big mixer, and thrilling football game are awaiting the participation of all the students, faculty and alumni. Serpentine. On Friday evening, November 5, the prologue of the annual event will take place in the form of a serpentine and bonfire. The serpentine will assemble in front of Edens Hall at 6:30 sharp. The course of the serpentine will be down High street to Holly, and thence into the business district, where a few yells will be given. The serpentine will return to a huge bonfire on the hill, where a mock trial, put on by the Thespians; speeches by President Fisher, Mr. Kibbe, Coaches Carver and Keeney, will pep up the B. S. N. S., so that the Viking spirit will be overflowing when the opening scene of the Homecoming takes place on Saturday morning. Registration and Luncheon at 10. Beginning at 10 a. m., the registration and reception of old grads will take place. Following this, will be the luncheon at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria. Plans have been so perfected that entertainment will be going on at both dining places at the same time. The clubs are furnishing the programs, so everyone will be assured of getting good entertainment, says Katherine Leach, chairman of program committee. Football Game. When the clock strikes two-thirty, what a crowd of Viking rooters will be in the grandstand on Waldo Field! Why ? Because that is when the biggest event of the day comes off; Nomral is playing Cheney in the annual home coming tussle.

You have been reading articles in the Messenger regarding the contest. Hand in that essay, short story, poem, drama or whatever form of literature it may be. You have as good a chance to win as die next fellow. Loosen up. Pilot some of that excess energy into your aesthetic channels and produce the prize winner. Ruth Sturman is acting assistant editor of the Messenger for this issue. BEAT ELLENSBURG!! Last Saturday you held the battering Freshmen to a scoreless tie. The game was yours several times but fate played her role. Once you missed a drop-kick. Another time you were one yard from the line. A third time you had opportunity to score but again fate interposed. You outplayed the Yearlings in every department of the game. Ellensburg bieat the Frosh by a lucky run in the last thirty seconds of play. The battle tomorrow is not going to be a snap." Not by any means will it be a walkaway. Ellensburg has the best team it has had in years. If you go at the Ellensburg gang as you started out after the Frosh, tomorrow's game promises to be a real mix up. THIS IS A JOKE. One questionnaire of last week entreated the Messenger to include a joke column. The temptation was great, and we almost fell. There's a hot cut in the office with the inscription "JOKES," which has lain dormant these many Fridays. If such a course were pursued, all the reporters would have to do would be to copy a half dozen bits from the "Literary Digest" and an equal portion from "Life" Why not make your own choice? Such departments of a paper smack too much of high school stuff. If some of the students were to read the U . of W . Daily or some other standard college publication, they'd think that another Library Methods course was being doped out to them. "We wonder why that nice Dodge coupe comes every night to Mabel's house" or "Why is Fred spending such late hours at the library now?" afford mirth but to a very few students. The whole assembly would hardly laugh its head off at such outbursts. Student Opinion A Challenge Answered. I would leave it to another department of this school paper to knock off chips, as a rule, but. when a 'disgruntled V. A. V. flings out the challenge to any Philo to uphold the name of the Normal's choicest and most forward society, a finger of explanation must be raised. Heaven be thanked that every Philo "aspirant" did not lift his voice in song. If such were the case, 99 44-100% of HS would get out, and the ruin of the club would be a consummation devoutly wished. (Hamlet's helping us, V. A. V.) But, dear V. A. V., to business let's proceed. From a delightful little book, in the possession of which a few rejoice, I mark these following words, to-wit: 'The aim of the Philomathean Literary Society is to improve its members jn literary, musical, and social attainments. In the club meetings held every two weeks, the literary side of the. program is emphasized." Now, really, V. A. V., it'd be the height of the, ridiculous to announce, bi-weekly, by gplly, "The PhilomatH-ean Literary, Musical, Social, Debate and Parliamentary Drill Society will hold its regular meeting next Thurs- : ^ e y e n i n | / ' 'Why, it,would take ^;t^,njeinber8,, what; with pur below ;':«eajievei I. Q's., about two quarterfl }:just to learn the name of our soci- gt;*ty; The Messenger would black-ball Will the Philos flicker in the Literary Contest? Let's wait until the final letter is scanned, and the judges have made their grand decisions; then we'll see V. A. V., if there is any good which can come out of this Nazareth. - Philo (Preferred Stock) Three o'clock! The big bus waiting. Our team, dressed in their best, ready to leave for Seattle, where the first game away from home was to be played. Were we back 'of them? Did we send them off with cheers ? Cheers which they could carry with them all through the next day's fight? Did we show that we were with them and for them, win or.lose? We did not! We failed to do our part. That'big bus pulled out with its load of fighters, without a cheer. A mere handful of the faithful stood by to wave them off. Put yourselves . in their • places. Wouldn't you just feel like fighting your hardest for your school if you knew that every member of the student body and faculty cared enough about you and the game to come out "and give you a; send-off ? ^ There's not a person in this world .who doesn't; do better work if •' he knows its being appreciated. ; Are we going-'ioi let- such a thing happen again, fpiks? ; I By V A few days ago we read a notice in the library. In substance it prohibited conversation, or visiting durT ing the~ev.enings in the library. Logical en0ugh| ^ u t there is;' another side: to it. .-By no-means could it; stop nor prevent two hearts from exchanging sentiments. Fortunately there are small pieces of paper by the card index, and the magazine index. Two hearts can understand each other thereby upon snatching one of these handy things and scribble a line'or two. Necessity leads to discovery. ' * * * * A class in history was once discussing on the subject of Art and the Aesthetic Sense. ..The topic on rythm "wfcs brought up... And many examples were mentioned. .."How about the baby's cry," asked a pupil. "Well, there's rhythm in it," retorted the teacher. This is perhaps sufficient to account for the prominence of divorces in couples without children. Human nature demands satisfaction of the aesthetic impulse. * # * * The other day the Men's Club met and decided to organize, and in fact they did begin to organize a fire squad for emergency purposes in the school. ..No understanding., more commendable than this could possibly be conceived of for the Normal men. Nor here comes a challenge: What would the Women's League do to balance this splendid idea? * * * * The traditional Homecoming event is looming up with bright hopes and rosy expectations. Figuratively, there is no stone left unturned to make this year's Homecoming the best ever recorded in the annals of the "Normal-By-The-Sea." The warmth of loyalty and sincerity of devotion to dear Alma Mater will be felt in the camus once more when the grads of this institution will set foot once again on the self-same corridors and campus paths they had daily trod ni the days that .were, not so very long ago. Familiar names, and faint images of familiar faces. The present student body will gladly welcome those who have made the history of this institution; and the grads will come with a sense of a renewed pledge of loyalty and service to their Alma Mater. * * * * What constitutes success? The men's class in social ethics digested this question the other day and bom-barede it with all sorts of answers. Common opinion among" the men harped on the familiar tune of "service" to humanity. Anyway, there's always a big whale of difference between opinion and practice. "Flowers my bloom on burning volcanoes.' * * * * It seems, however, that there are three major considerations in weighing the question of success. ..First, the attainment of an ambition, an ideal, a goai; second accomplishment of achievement along one's chosen career; third, the quality of service one renders to humanity in general as an outcome of one's training in a specialized line. To hear Judge Ben Lindsey speak last Wednesday morning was a rare privilege. His oratorical eloquence, occasioned sense of humor, and above all the importance and weight of his speech in relation to teaching and present-day condition of society, have undoubtedly left an indelible imprint upon all who heard him. • # • * Judge Lindsey's lecture has filled a wide gap and satisfied to some extent at ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- s ^ 1:;IS.;STROM2 BHHPniiHiniiinmmiiuiiniiami i l x k^ u Hitting the Liiie WITH SULLY Wkere i8 the spirit of this school? How caii a winning team be expected when the student body does not support them? Last Friday, the team left for Seattle and there was but four people to see them off. Where were the Yell Leaders and the rest of the students? The team needs your backing, so try .and be out next time. The Vikings, although held to a scoreless tie with the University Yearlings, vow vengeance on Ellens-burg, so a. sad afternoon is in store for Sandberg's pets. Coach "Sam" Carver has been "pointing" for this -game, and as this is the first hurdle to regain the Normal School Championship, the team will give it's all. Evennje who went to Seattle last week-end was treated to two wonderful football games.. First, the University Freshmen held the Normal to a tie, while the University of Washington-Washington State College game was a thriller from start to finish. The Cougars won 9 to 6, when "Butch" Meeker scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed reverse play in the last minutes of the game. The Viking squad lost one of its valuable reserves, when "Three Gun" Benson had his shoulder injured, thus putting him out for the season... Benson has been out every night, always fighting and taking many hard knocks, which it is up to the second stringer to give, without hope of reward. He will be missed by the squad. California Teams Are Eliminating Tie Grid Contests Southern California' interscholastic grid teams have devised a way to eliminate tie games. The teams are given a two-minute rest after the final whistle. Then the ball is put in play at midfield, the captains tossing a coin to see who has possession of the ball. Ten downs are played, each team alternating at carrying the ball on every play. The team which makes the most yardage or which advances the ball in its opponent's territory wins.' The success of the plan is being watched closely by football men interested in finding a solution for tie games. VIKINGS TO MEET ELLENSBURG MEN (Continued from Page One) Backfield Is Shifted. After many shifts, a backfield combination that is sure to start the game is still lacking. The most probable combination seems to be Odell, Stickney, Hawkings, and Seymour. Of these, Seymour is the only one playing in the position started in the St. Martin's contest. Ray Odell has been shifted to the quarter post. Estill, who handled the team last week, may start the battle and is a sure bet to get in the fray some stage of the game. Stickney, a regular from last year; has been practicing in one halfback position. / Hawkings Halfback Hawkings,. the greatest surprise of the last two games, is slated to start in the other halfback position. Coach Carver, is taking the follow-' ing men on the trip to Eiiensburg: E.;Hyd^ ^ Stiekneyy Hinds, Beignle, Iyjerson, Blizzard, Baxter,.; .Shelton, Drake, Edmundson, Brown, Odeil, Estill, Sfifcickii y, Clarke, Hawkings, Seymour, and Hansen. WM$M$mBM^ M Women's Sports Continue Popular Among Students Swimming tests have recently been given to both beginner's and advanced classes. Those successfully passing the beginner's test were Dor-othey Busick, Annie Nelson, Sarah Collins, Allegra Jones, Elsie Cummins, Borgheld Jensen, Margaret Ma-goon, Margaret McKay and Jean Woll. Those who have passed the Red Cross Swimmer's Test are: Phyllis Crabill, Eileen Galloway, Madeline Bosshard, and Carrie Hamilton. If enough girls are interested, a" recreation period will be held at the Y. WL C. A. every Friday from 4 to 5 oclock, beginning next week. The rfee will be the nominal one of ten cents. Names must be on the Athletic Bulletin board before Friday noon. Jean Woll can be seen for further particulars. Hockey, soccer and volley ball turnouts continue to run high, and the classes are fast developing the technique of the games. The teams will be chosen soon. A great amount of equipment is being added, including six new soccer balls. Both hockey and soccer goal posts have been put up, the field has been leveled and the grass cut. To relieve the increasing, call for adhesive tape, it being feared that the manufacturers would be unable to supply the demand, hockey shin guards have been ordered and will probably be here for the next practice. A number of girls went horseback riding last Saturday morning instead of Friday afternoon. This week the horses will be brought to the school on Friday. Already a number have signed up, but there are enough horses for all who desire to go. If enough girls are interested in horseback riding for Saturday mornings arrangements will be made for this as well as for Friday afternoons. Q.A.G.-U.S.G. LEAD CONFERENCE # : ~~ Washington's Title Hopes Dashed When W. S. C. Team Upsets Dope and Conquers. Washingtons' hopes for another Coast Conference football championship were dashed on the rocks laBt Saturday when a Cougar team, led by "Butch" Meeker, defeated them 9 to 6. U. S.

Both Teams Miss in Field Goal Attempts. VIKING LINE STRONGER Odell, Seymour, Carry Brunt of Normal Attack. Thorspn and Stickney in Fine Form. Although forcing the play practically the whole game, the Vikings were Hnable to score against the University Freshmen last Saturday and the two teams battled to a scoreless tie. The Frosh defense built around the towering "Pat" Jessup, former Whatcom High star tightened in the pinches and averted an oft threatened Viking score. The Normal line, heretofore of uncertain strength successfully withstood all Frosh attacks and apparently had little trouble in opening holes judging by the yardage the backs were able to make. A weakness was shown in returning the punts, the Frosh ends getting down on Odell on nearly every kick. The Viking backs showed a greater ground gaining ability than did the Frosh. Odell and Seymour being the heaviest ground gainers. "Russ" Seymour's 190 pounds carrying two and three Frosh tacklers with him. Several times the big fellow ripped through for 20 yard gallops. Ray Odell proved the best open field runned of the day, getting away for long gainB several times. Lyman Stickney netted good yardage on off end runs. Vikings Threaten Early The Vikings made the initial kick-off and soon gained possession of the ball in Frosh territory. They advanced within the yearlings 15 yard line but could not send the ball over. A place kick was attempted later but failed. The Vikings had forced the play through the first quarter and continued on the offense the rest of the half. They started a hard drive toward the Frosh goal and came within 11 yards, the final line where a grounded pass stopped the attempt. The Frosh were on the defense until the last quarter when the Vikings weakened. A drop kick missed the bar just a few feet and just before the game ended the Frosh completed a 25 yard pass into Viking territory Aside from the last_iew minutes of the game the Vikings held the advantage and had two exellent chances to score. The game was called at 12 noon as a preliminary to the Univeri sity-State College game in the afternoon. The Vikings lined up „with Drake and Thorson ends, Wanamaker and Shelton tackles, Hinds and Baxter guards, Stickney center, Odell, Stickney, Seymour, and Estill in the back-field. Substitutions were Hawkings for Estill, Edmundson for Drake, Bieghle for Hinds, Drake for Edmundson, Christman for Wanamaker, Stickney for Hyde. S. K. SCHELDRUP, D. C, Ph.

The crucial game of the season and the first of the year with a rival Normal School comes on Saturday, in the city across the mountains. Ellensburg for the first time in many years is rated as a strong squad and is the favorite" for the ,Tri;Normal title, holding victories over the Idaho Frosh, Washington Frosh, and Whit-worth College. Idaho succumbed 7-0, and the U. of W. team 6-0. Both of these wins were over strong teams and in the nature of upsets, so a hard game is on hand for the Vikings. * • • * Carver's boys played a nice game against the Frosh and semed to deserve better than the 0-0 verdict received. Still Coach Wayne Sutton's yearlings were strong—doped as having one of the best teams in years— and a tie with them means something. The Washington.. Freshmen. have been very unsuccessful against Bellingham in the last four years, taking only one victory in that time, in 1924... At that, the 1924 team was composed of Louis Tesreau and many men who now are leading varsity players, so a defeat at the hands of these men was no disgrace. • • # • .

Important roles will be played by don keys, camels, lions, elephants, sheep and dogs—not to mention "Maliche," the cunning snake whose vicious bite •almost makes an end to the villian in one exciting episode.

Being Volume II, Number 1, The Red Arrow, if not bigger, was better than ever before, and was published Tuesday. Poems in abundance, with two fine short stories, and a humorous dis-sertion on an unimportant matter make-.up , What is one of the best Red Arrows ever piiblished. Twenty-four pages, almost all filled with reading matter, make this quarter's issue well worth looking over* and keeping as something signifying an accomplishment on the part of the members of The Scribes club, who published it. Holland Ho! the major story of the magazine, was cleverly written by.Madge Boy er, and deals with the efforts of "Mamma Apt,", a young-old Dutch woman, to return" to her native land. Humor, pathos, and some of the -tragedy of everyday life blend perfectly to make the1 story one worth reading and remembering. Four other prose contributions, "Timely Greatness of Gulliver's Travels," by George Sherman, former business manager; "Exploitation of a Normal School Lad," by Barney. Chichester, who "assumes the general responsibility of the crime;" "Not Quite a Ghost Story," by Dorothy E. Legg, and "Death's Flower," by M. H. S., all are worthy of men; tion, as are the many poems, tucked away in the odd corners of the book. The contributors were: Bryan Buchanan, Madge.

Naomi Chase Other Candidate Naomi Chase was the other candidate for the office of president. She was backed by the Women's League and the girls of Eden's Hall. Her platform Avas for a more collegiate school. Candidates for vice-president were Edwin Benedict, Viola Poyhonen, and Catherine Morse. The results in this phase of the elections were close with Edwin Benedict polling the most votes. Milton Fields, elected to the board, had a world of opposition in Joel Gudmundson asxhe had never served on the board before and Joel had.

The committee, headed by Victor H. H"6ppe chose a cast Thursday, March 8. , Conti-ary to former procedure the committee picked a group of people and have assigned no definite characters as yet. "Crag's Wife" is the story of a selfish woman who would sacrifice anything for the thing she wanted. She has. Used her husband; as merely a means to an end. She maintains her home through his earnings- which is the only reason-she tolerates him. The climax comes when Craig, the brow-beaten husband, revolts—-breaks a cherished ornament,' and throws cigarette butts all over her precisely kept living room. v' -."

Such procedure is wholly warrantable if the erroneous facts ^are:;erroneous.V:' It seems they were. •^••';^";':^^-•^'":^•.v^;•.:;.;';•'••'; If the editor had, for instance, not been so exclusive in nis indictment it might not have been questioned. But editors of school papers are fairly busy people, particularly if they are doing student teaching and preparing to- graduate, and sometimes they are hard put to grind but their weekly venom about the World in general, and the teaching profession in '-particular.' V. • • ,• \^..' Y, •'. ,.: The editor has decided, upon reflection and gt; introspection, that he really felt that he had had enough technique, at least for the time being, let us say. This, though, also includes the host of required subjects including the numerous educational and content courses given in the second year. * The "liberaT* education of the first year here is very fine, but following that the work takes on a decidedly professional hue. It was following further reflections upon this experience that he spoke. Upon further reflection he has decided that it can't be helped, for how else could teachers be taught to teach? It does seem odd though, that the only editorial all year which elicited a response was one which displeased the powers that be. Probably presidents and teachers are human after all. ' DISCUSSION FORUMS •' The important thing is not that students are often guilty of bursting forth with opinions on matters about which they lack thorough understanding and adequate knowledge, but that their opinions have finally come to be regarded as worthy, sometimes, of consideration. The forum promised for next quarter may mark,the beginning of a new era in this school. It will if the students will prove themselves worthy of the- opportunity provided. Here* is the,golden opportunity which may not again come soon, through which more may be accomplished towards co-ordinating the student and faculty point of view than fifty years of student opinion and faculty forum could do. If the students will enter into the discussions with an earnestness and a sincere desire to question or suggest for best interests of themselves and the standards of the school, and the faculty as well adopt a sympathetic,attitude towards worthwhile opinions, the results will at least be a better understanding of the problems of the school. . The only question is whether the students will voice opinions that will justify such forums. We hope that the time has come. AND ELECTIONS Political coups of varied hues scintillated in the highly interesting campaign and elections for student offices held this last week. Probably not since the days of the "Lion and the Mouse" incident has so active a campaign been waged. The men of the school have not only increased in numbers since that sad day but also in political astuteness. The way in which they frustrated the attempt of a faction of the women to make it a sex issue was a joy to behold. Aside from .being politically expedient, it was "commendable in that it based the election more on the merits of the candidates, than on a partisan issue. Likewise the attempt of women to make it such an issue was not commendable, particularly when the candidates were of such marked ability. - The women still have a valid argument that the Board of Control is quite overwhelmingly masculine. This is not because the men have more ability but because the. women seem to think it a man's job to fill such positions. In spite of, all the new suffrage it seems that women are not seriously concerned, as a group, with things political. / Bud^ sound in ;; gt;miiui^ hereby I de^e^'aud^b^^ low mentioned on the sixteenth day nineteen hundred and twenty eight. v'[':ToJoin' Prexy• I doiereby-ldave^bne; cbpy of Buggy 'Budfs^;"Mdre.^!Te gt;^iiiiue and Method^ ate^^^ an 'oration in assembly at J'W time' the!: occasion "warrants i one. ]y, ••'''('•"•'v'';,''"•'•'•"•,• • •{;'•} *'* •.,*-.!* '# h;;V' V Vv'.V''.

Erickson, who copped first place in the javelin at the state meet last spring, Cox and Brinkman, place winners in the sprints and distances, respectively, at .the same meet, are counted to be sure point winners, while there will no doubt be several good men uncovered when time trials are taken, especially in the distances.

Washington pavilion by a 33 to 19 score. North Central succeeded in knocking over Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Yakima and Cheney with apparently little difficulty, and. taking as well the final tilt by a wide margin of 14 points in a rather slow game which showed Cheney as being completely outclassed. In the semi-finals Yakima out-stripped Walla Walla in a thrilling game earlier in the evening by 22 to 18 count. Standing of Teams North Central took first place, Cheney second, Yakima third, Everett fourth, Olympia fifth, Walla Walla sixth, Wenatchee seventh, Mount Vernon eighth. The first eight teams received trophies; and the last eight were.given participating banners. - The prizes were awarded after the last game Saturday night by Coach Hec Ed-mundson of the Washington basketball team:; In a startling upset, the F-hilo five, club champions, ware taken into camp by the Low Stars 42-38, in a rough and tumble game played in the small gym, Monday afternoon. . -; . . . y Although holding a joinmafidinq; lead at half time, the club outfit were slowly but surely swept asi'le by the advent of Thorsei and Brown into the Marsdenite line-up. Going into the final canto with a ten-point deficit, the Low Stars held the highly touted Thilos to six points and counted twenty themselves; Marsden, Low Star manager, put on an individual shooting performance., capturing high point honors with thirteen tallies. Taking shots from all angles and anywhere on the court, he tried out the theory "that those who "shoot the most garner the majority of the scores." Playing aggressive ball throughout, Arnett and Norby looked best for the losers, while Gray played his usual good floor for the winners. Gox copped scoring honors for the Philos, counting ten of his-twelve points in the first half drive, which netted them a 2 to 22 lead. In the same canto, Bond, Fisher and Arnett caged baskets from all positions, but the latter two were checked so closely in the final frame that "Granny" is another basket tos-ser, playing on the championship Jayvee teams of the past two seasons. By his own admission he should be president of t h e ' associat-. ed students. . Granny is a baseball player of note, altho-he says no one recognized his ability until the latter part of last season.

Some wonderful trips have been made and all who went enjoyed, themselves immensely, but there were never more than from ten to twenty on the trip. If the cost is the obstacle, it should be surmounted because charges are very small compared with those 'which one must pay if he did not go on these organized hikes. The best mountain hikes will cost no more than two dollars next quarter and the short hikes will not exceed car fare costs. In the spring quarter there will be no. definite dates assigned for the hikes but from time to time they will be apportioned according to weather conditions and such. The proposed schedule will be obtainable in the women's P. E. office the first day of next quarter. On Tuesday or Wednesday of, each week on the W A. A. bulletin, board will be posted the details, for the following Saturday's hike. -All girls and faculty should watch the board for announcements for they are all invited by the W. A: A. to go. Among the outstanding hikes that are. roposed are: Lummi Mountain, Skyline Ridge, Mt. Constitution, Lookout Mountain, and Kulshan Cabin. All of these trips will require strenuous hiking and it is advised ' that anyone wishing to go should start training during vacation by taking shorter trips. .

".v-;^..: —B. S. N. S.— . ' - You see it's like fhis-r-away back in the good bid days thousands of. aluinrii (or rather several hun- : dreds) had t h e habit of coming back to school for the traditional banquets, -dance, and for the renewing of faculty * n d student friendships. They would: attend the banquet in a large body and therein would be spoken many words common to Viking tradition. The spirit of The Normal- by-the-Mountains-and-the- Sea was there with them. They formed the Alumni association. But as most organizations of this kind it is not more than a name as when comparisons are made of alumni associations of similar sized Normal schools and Teachers' colleges of the Middle-^West and East. : _B. s. N. s.— : Already being aired on this campus is this thought of making the Alumni Association a real live organization... An organization which "having either a full-time or half-time paid secretary would top. in t o u c h ^ i t h THE THOUSANDSJJF BELLINGHAM NORMAL ALUMNI which are out in the educational field in the Great Northwest—an organization which would serve as t h e mediative means for exchanges of ideas, opinions, and facts of the doings and findings both in the mother school here and in the T gt;road educational area encircling^he campus for hundreds of mdes. Bel-ungham Normal should P a y , * " ^ r S a i n elders of the faculty who R a i d e d materiaUy i n - ^ d mg tmrelher such alumni ties with tne force, firmly exist. —B. S. N The practical way if financing such a worthwhile enterprise is an important factor. It can be done in several ways. One method Would be to have an Alumni fund contributed and maintained by only the Alumni themselves. It is an unwieldy way, however, but the idea might work supplementary to any other plan. This plan is, in short, a matter of subsidization. What this means is, of course, that a fund of from five hundred or a thousand dollars be set aside from Association funds forthe carrying on of this Work in a proper and efficient manner. What this School needs is more working capital in the Student Association fund. And should one or two thousand dollars be added to the fund from a slight addition to the present student activities fee the net return benefitting both student lt;md student body would.become far : greater in proportion than from the sum which is now invested. What we are doing noW is only about half what could be done with about one' fourth more invested. In figures, the six-dollar fee does only half the job an eight-dollar fee could do. And while the minority of the student body keeps the machinery running the majority howls. Even so, we'll have to laugh at this howling majority, for they do nothing* about anything. The minority do a mighty fine job in stretching the student pocketbook (budget) the farthest, for the greatest student good. The mmdrily also spend the money, and, here's all they do-^-They put the School on the- map in all kinds of varsity athletics; 'they are serving to maintain social life about the campus; they serve as the backbone of our few worthwhile clubs; and, incidentally work a wee bit in recording these happenings of student life in form of the Klipsun, this publication, and others' : v :;\VIi'hai, been the pohcy of this newspaper to publish, as the need arpse^qrtieles which might arouse, antagonize^; and Sen ahger the large, uhworking, murmuring stii- ;dent majority.

This Year's Klipsun Is Excellent ANNOUNCEMENT We wish to announce that this year's Klipsun'will not be .ready for distribution until June 20, due to unforeseen difficulties t h at have arisen in its publication. Those students who will not be in attendance at the Normal during the summer or those who do not live in Bellingham will receive their annual by mail if they leave : their name and addresses in the Associated Student's Office any time Monday, June 9. A later announcement will be made as to the delivery of annuals to those are in Bellingham June 20. . We of the Klipsun staff deeply regret that the annual will noi be ready for distribution before the close of school, but we hope that the excellence of this year's Klipsun will be a partial recompense for this delay.

Between the Blue and Gold coders of the 1930 Klipsun are 148 pages which tell the story of Bellingham Normal during the year 1929-30.

Quick Is First Boy to Win. (Continued on Page Four) Quentin Quick was judged winner of the final extemporaneous contest held in assembly last Tuesday morning while, correcting the announcement made, Helen Fitzwater and Louise Lilienthal tied for second place. Lyle Summers acted as chairman and Ray Craft as time keeper. Judges of the contest were Mrs. O. N.' Munn, former county superintendent of schools; Rev. W. E. Loucks, minister Of the Baptist church-; and Rev. Andrew Warner, minister of the Methodist church! '•:% the topic ''This Modern; Boredom". She was followed by Bertha Altose, whose subject was "Why Have Human Static?" "Cannon Fodder" was Eleanor Langworthy's subject, while Charles Gerold spoke on the "Hysteria of War". Louise Lilienthal followed with "Let the Eagle Scream", and Quentin Quick closed the contest with a talk on "The Hardest Job in the United States". President Fisher presented the silver loving cup to Mr. Quick, who will be custodian of it throughout the coming year. . ' • ' * . ' j Students Asked to Deposit Books , I in Attractively D ecorated Hamper! Mabel Zoe,. Wilson, head librarian, personally invites any person to deposit any lost or strayed book, paper, or magazine, belonging to the library, in the attractively decorated hamper, placed there for your special use, which is located in the main hall of the library. "If you can't find one of these books in your possession," she states, "do not be discouraged. Hunt around the books belonging to your room-mate until you do. Then return it on your next trip to the library." The Library is expecting several hundred books that were unintentionally carried away to be returned in this manner. The returning of these books will be of considerable value to the library and will further justify their belief that students are honest. They are hoping not to be disappointed. Students are again urged to comply with this request. GRAD WEDS Mr. Andrew McCall, student of former days, was recently married in the East. He has finished teaching and is now making Toronto, Canada, his home. ".'-'•'*•• : — o — — — . ' . ' Tono Delegation Visits at Normal This week the Normal was favored by a visit from a delegation of students from Torib, Washington. The students are on the Third annual tour sponsored by the schools of Tono. The delegation which traveled in one of the district's fine school busses, consisted 6f twenty-two Seventh and Eighth grade; students, four teachers, and two bus drivers. The next stop for the party was to be Vancouver, B. C. From Vancouver they planned to -go to Everett and then over into Eastern Washington. The entire tour will probably last about ten of twelve days. The party was in charge of Oliver Ingersoll, a graduate of this school.v.:;';.; •;'•'••;•:'••• y .V-'T".-.-:.-' INSTRUCTORS ATTEND ) ^lEGlTAL IN SEATTLE ••Oh Monday, June 2^ gt; t he Misses ^uth"^WeythmanVv;Mildred Jewell, andMarjory Hortbri mbtbred,to Se-attle^ to attend^the -dance tof gt;Martha; Graham, who- will teach a summer seKiori7?a@i^^^ j S ( e a t ^ £ ? $^ siastic about the program, praising Pre-Registration Ends Yesterday Pre-registration books were officially closed yesterdayat 4:00 o'clock to all old students who are going to attend school during the summer quarter. The books will again be opened Saturday, June 14, for both old and new students. Any old student who registers at this time will be charged a late registration fee of $1.00. The late registration fee for new students will be effective Tuesr day, June 17. Only about 150 students have registered for the summer quarter to date. The low number is explained by the fact that the summer quarter attendance is composed mostly of old "Grads" who are returning for a quarter's; attendance. -••'. " • ' " ' ' .

If we re- ^ member correctly, it was a well known scribbler who gazed into the | ilyM a n d ^ „th„ a r e s i l e nt abyss in'the finals of last year. People who haven't tried extemporizing before four or five hundred people may think it easy. Anyone having any doubts about it should try it some time.

Maybe, though, it's a good thing we're made that way/ _W. S. N. S.—. ANCIENT PROVERB: (Not applicable at present.) "There's many a slip twixt dress and hip." _W. S.-N. S — Now that the "Viking Vodvil" is all over, we'd like to make it clear to anyone who may have hazy ideas that the word "vodvil," even if one strictly correct and calls it "vaudeville," is pronounced "vodvil," in two syllables, the accent being on the first of them, and with a long straight line over the first "o". You need pay no attention to the o*s." Also, remember that the WWVWWWMWWAflflftWftMrtftWWWWnAVWWtfWWW The acts, which is a The Vod- The Viking Vodvil, the other evening was a good show, according to this critic, were somewhat better than last year, good sign of increasing support from the school organizations, vil was not supported as well as it might have been by the student body, however, had it been produced at a mere opportune time. It occurs to us that the spring quarter, with the usual activity which precedes graduation, and the consequently greater drain upon the student's time and money, is not as favorable for such a production as the winter quarter would be. There are by no means as_ many distractions in the winter quarter as in the spring, and consequently the Vodvil would not only be assured greater support, but would/fill the dead spot which comes in February with something really interesting. ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY Normalites who didn't view the Art exhibit on the third floor yesterday will do well to participate in the festivities this afternoon. The Art Department has gone quietly along during the past year and turned out a lot of good work, which makes an intensely interesting exhibit. The Photography display, which will be shown next week, should also be a,good drawing card. With Photography stepping into the ranks of the Fine Arts, the course is rapidly becoming one of the most popular ones in the spring and summer curricula. '.";,;:•:':- ;;% o ~ •'., KLIPSUN Many Normalites will be disappointed to know that the Klipsun will not be off the presses in time to be distributed before the end,of the quarter next week. But those things happen, and, according to people who have examined the work which the staff has done, this year's Annual is to be an exceptionally fine publication. After all, yearbooks must be made as fine as possible, because they are the most permanent things which we will carry away to remind us of the two years we spent in school here. The lateness of the publication, while something of a calamity now, will be forgotten by the time the Klipsun has become invested with the significance which it will eventuallyhave forTmost of us. —W.

The Frosh ?came out of the fray with the long S e n d of the. score as is usual when ; an athletic event is held at the tJ. of W s own grounds? I n the past two years that I have been in B. S. ; N. S. not once have I seen the Vikings get a fair break at the U.~ of W. It seems as though the Frbsh's big brothers always manage to give them the edge when they need it. It is always the upper classmen who officiate at the different events, and always manage to throw the breaks in the path of the Frosh. The final score was 8 to 0. Although the, score is large, it doesn't represent the closeness of the game. I t seemed as though-every time a Frosh would get on base a Normal, man would make ah error, thus tallying up another run for the Frosh. • -°——• BUT A LUCKY SATURDAY Having lost the game to the Frosh the day before, the Viking baseball • team realized that unless it won the game with the College of Puget Sound their-week's-end would have been quite fruitless. With this determination they took revenge for the defeat handed to them by the Logger baseballers and rolled up an enormous score of 14 to 1. With this Win it gave the Vikings a fairly good season, considering the experience of the material. With the exception of one infielder, Thorsen, and one outfielder, Dixon, the team was composed of raw material. Coach "Pop*' Gun was well pleased with the turnout and the final results of the season. Those playing enough innings to earn their letter are: Hugh McCleary, Jim McCleary, Alden Blankenship, Ing Iverson, Occie Thorsen, Ted Peder-son, Ralph Miller, Francis Eacrett,- John Dixon and Art Gravrock. •-}•:' '•'•:' • ' .,'.——o •' "W» CLUB INITIATION This afternoon and evening the "W" club acts as host, to several new members of the club at Larra-bee; State park.

The Sophs came back with some of their much-heralded fighting spirit on Tuesday and took the second game of. the season from the Frosh "Babes." The Sophs decided it was time the Frosh came down a peg, so in the dark of night the "little black kitten'! was left on the doorstep of Sig Wiberg's modest dwelling in the Dorm. The Frosh fought hard for a come-back in the fourth and fifth innings but when Pat Carleton knocked a homerun, the Frosh were nonplussed. Sig Wiberg, not thinking to see the Sophs get away with that, stepped up to bat and socked one into right field that cheered the team up considerably but failed to run the score up any higher than 8-5 when the whistle blew. The game rested on Pat Carleton's shoulders for a wonderful game was pitched by the Sophomore star of the game. But, just a word to the Frosh: Don't let this game dampen your spirits for there is still a chance for that championship on Field Day. Just grit your teeth and go to it with the old can't kill attitude of the class. ——o -—•'•' FROSH BEAT SOPHS IN HANDBALL TILT cess of printing.

TO AMERICAN TEXTS Miss Nora Cummins, of the Social Science department, spent the last week-end in Victoria, British Columbia. While there, Miss Cummins read an article in a Calgary newspaper, concerning the use of United States textbooks in Canadian Schools. The writer objected to the extensive use of these books, particularly to those dealing with early American history. The article mentioned the fact that the books had the United States point of view and did not give Canada enough credit for her gallant part in the World Wan Miss Mead to Assist At State Examination Miss Mead, school nurse of the Bellingham Normal school, will take her vacation from July 18 until September 30.

Board Control; Was Formerly Business Manager M A N A G E R NOT NAMED Financial Report of Viking Shows Substantial Balance—Photography Contracts up for Klipsun. Bernard Chichester, for several quarters business manager of the Weekly. Messenger, will edit the Northwest Viking during the fall quarter, 1928. He was elected to this position by the board of control at the weekly meeting .of that body Wednesday morning. The vote was 3 to 2, Glenn • Fairbanks, present sport editor :of the paper, being the only other applicant and receiving the two votes. No Business Manager , The position of business manager was not filled at the same time, lack of time at the meeting preventing action from being taken on the matter of this vacancy. Two applications have been received for the job, one from Harry M. Appleton, incumbent, and the other from My-er E^ Thai, business manager of the Klipsun, who was Appleton's opponent when he was elected to the position the first time. Roy Arnett, for several quarters secretary of the board of control, again applied for the position for the fall quarter, and his is the only application received. Because of his absence from the city, with the baseball team in Seattle Wednesday Jean Marquis acted as secretary of the board. Financial Statement The financial statement of the Northwest Viking was accepted as presented by Harry Appleton, business manager. Appleton said "I am quite proud of the statement." It follows: Cash on hand $138.05 Current accounts 378.60 Prospects Bright As NormgJ Prepares For Thirty-rpt Year Administrative Staff of School Remains Same as During Past Year. Nine Changes Occur in the Teaching Staff. Board Elects Successors Later. Debts outstanding.. $516.65 ...166.00 Another change which the old students will be met with is the change of the name of the school paper, from the Weekly Messenger which it was when they left, to the Northwest Viking, which it is now. This change was announced before Balance $350.65 A motion was carried providing that in the future the board will elect to no remunerative student body office any person already holding another paying position for the student body. At present it is known of four instances where two paying positions are held by a single person. Photography Contracts ^ At a special meeting called Monday morning to consider Klipsun contracts, the Board took no action but heard a recommendation from the editor, Naomi, Chase. Five applications for the photography cont r a c t were received, these from Jukes 'inc., Sandison, inc., E. I. Jacobsen, •'.•. the Novelty Print shop, and Johnson brothers. It* is thought that this matter^ will comev before the v board next Wednesday, when the Viking business manager and the board secretary will be elected. Board Positions Open Election of two' members of the board of control for the fall and • - winter quarters will take place dur-v ing the first two weeks of the fall quarter, it is announced by school :'V authorities.''.•••' ''.'._-.-• The positions to be filled are those of Stanley Thompson, student representative, and E. A. Bond, •;• faculty representative. Thdmpson left school at the end of the first ; term of the summer quarter, though his term on the board would have, ended at the end of "the quarter. : (He; has ,beeh awarded an official school pin for two quarters service, J on the /board, which - p i n will be' ;; * iPrwarded to" him. Mr..;;Bond's ^ 0; :-^ With four successful quarters just completed, making another school year to be recorded in the annals of the school, Bellingham Normal, on October 1, will commence its thirty-first year, with prospects for a year even more successful than those which have gone before. This year will see no change in the administrative officers of the school, President C. H. Fisher starting,upon the first year of a three-year contract recently signed by him and the trustees of the school. With no exceptions all other administrative offices will be filled as last year. Nine vacancies in the teaching staff will occur* during the year, due to resignations and leaves of absence. Because the board of trustees has taken no filial action.'relative to the filling of the positions, President Fisher stated that he did not care to mention the names of those who are being considered for the posts. The vacancies are those of Edward Arntzen, Miss Olive Edens, Miss Maude Slawson, Miss Anna J. Petersen Miss M. Therese Peters, Miss Bertha M. Keller, Miss Mary Cole, Miss Ruth Van Pelt, and Mrs/Barbara Dixon Ewell. Miss Edens, Miss Slawson, and Mr. Arntzen are on leave of absence, and the others have resigned. The Old Year During the last year the school granted two graduate normal school diplomas, two four-year diplomas, forty-five three-year diplomas, 534 two-year diplomas, and 168 life diplomas. This does not include the certificates of all kinds granted at the close of the summer quarter, which will be figured in the 1929 totals. The enrollment during the three winter quarters, excluding all duplicates, was 1,117, while the summer quarter, on which no definite figures have been issued, had an enrollment which exceeded 1,000, by far the largest enrollment of 'its kind for many years at the school. It is expected by Mr. Fisher that the registration for the fall quarter will approach 950, the registration for the same quarter last .year numbering 920. Inquiries and credentials which have been forwarded lead Mr. Fished to make this estimate. The record for the past four quarters, according to Mr. Fisher, have been most satisfactory, with the summer quarter especially good, The New Year Greeting the old students who return to school following a summer's vacation, is the new $260,000 library, which, though completed by the end of the spring quarter, was not occupied by the library staff-until the summer quarter commenced. During the past term, the foresight which planned the library has proved itself accurate, for the arrangements have all functioned as was first planned. (Continued on Page Four) o Student Exhibit of Photography More than seventy photographs, enlarged and mounted, will be displayed in the Faculty room during the Photographic Exhibit, Monday and Tuesday afternoon, August 20 and 21. The exhibit is sponsored by the photography class and most of' the displays of work which the members of that class have done during the summer. Many Silhouettes A feature of interest will be the exhibit of silhouettes. This type of photography, so accessible to and so generally neglected by the average amateur has attracted much attention from the class this summer and some unusual pictures have been obtained. The Pictorial photography group, showing scenes in and around Bellingham, and especially campus views, will have the largest number of pictures. Some of the interesting pictures of this group include night photographs of the library, in the library, and some sunset pictures along the bay. I I! FUEASK^TUDENTS Former Instructor in Bellingham .

Bigger and Better Vacations Being Advocated for Many Weary Students (By (Elsie It was once suggested that there should be something said about the joys, of vacation. Now that one of these spasms of joy is just about over, it is just . a s well to, make a few remarks about it so that they, will be timely.

"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Com-mencement" goes the count for many of us. And we lLbe glad to have it over with? Of course—but glad also to have been here We have worked, played and enjoyed ourselves—and have grown. At least we must have. Here we are, in an ideal location for a Normal school, .with: an environment that the gods might well be proud to call their own. Ihe school thirty years old, has grown and raised its standards to such an extent that it has gained national recognition. And its recognition is deserved. But just why do we come here? Most of us here are, or will be, teachers. Supposedly then, we are here with a definite purpose in mind—that of preparing to teach, or if we are at present teaching— of bettering ourselves in one way or another. But really and trutntully is that the reason we are attending Bellingham Normal this summer^ Probably not. Almost certainly not As each one of us thinks (pack into the past, we are bound to come upon some other cause, .remaps we have no sensible reason for coming here, perhaps we do. At any rate, for one reason or another, we are here—a conglomerate mass ot school teachers. lt;.'.'" And just how has this quarter affected us? Possibly we have involuntarily absorbed some worthwhile things to take away with. Or we have even made a conscious effort to take away those things which we recognize as of value to us. The school certainly has not fallen down in giving us opportunities. Especially has it made an attempt through well organized programs to raise our cultural level and to provide us with recreation. Of course we have been taken care of scholastically. - So we come to the conclusion that unless greatly off-balance, we are bound to benefit from this quarter's work, because of our associations and contacts, if from nothing else, and will leave Bellingham Normal as bigger persons, with great hopes for its future advancement. O U R F A R E W E LL At last it's over. For with the appearance of this issue of the Viking, this paper passes into the hands of another. And what a relief it is to have no more worries. No more editorials to write. No more assignments to conjure up for ambitious reporters. No more weary hours spent in worrying about how to fill next week's paper, or where to find news enough to make this week's worthwhile. No more criticism to bear from stupid know-it-alls who talk endlessly, profusely and to no avail. No more berating of lazy reporters. No more rushing down to the printers at all hours of the day and night. No more hasty head-writing. No more hustle, no more rustle, no more bustle. And again—No more worries. Yet—no more joy spent in working at this and at that. No more satisfaction on the successful appearance of another paper, the kind of satisfaction that makes it worthwhile to undergo many unpleasant things. No more editorial flights with irate members of the student body. No more weekly pay checks. No more—but the' good things are harder to enumerate than the bad.' They are less tangible, less easily measured, but they are there just the same. And the pleasant memories of nine quarters spent in working on the Messenger and the Viking far outnumber the unpleasant ones. For one leaving a paper that has so long been a close association there are necessarily many regrets—of worthwhile things gone forever, of lost opportunities, and deeds undone. Yet there is again that satisfaction at having felt that a real news organ has gone ahead, has progressed and gradually improved upon itself. To my staff goes a sincere expression of assistance rendered and of work well done. To our printers go an appreciation of work well done. To the incoming editor I extend best wishes for the future success of the Viking, and look forward to that day when "our" paper will be ah eight-column, four-page, college periodical. Thus ends my last editorial. —The Editor. Student Opinion ' There is something to be gained during the session of any class at this school that is very much worth -while. And furthermore — that • "something" cannot.be made-up at a later date. •The above is the fundamental assumption underlying the present attendance, regulations, but wait— There has been added recently arid officially a clause stating that any work missed because of illness or student activity obligations, such as conferences or athletic conferences, can be made up! It seems fair to the students who have been ill—they couldn't help it. It seems reasonable for those who have represented the school. We •c- do not 'gainsay that. » But it does not seem plausible that t h e ; same thing that wasessential and could not be made, up, namely, class attendance, can now be surmounted by a Uttle outside work %Thevpbint is: ^ If at one time Ih »tne:;systeniv s u c h i a ; ^ the only thing to say at the time, why can a new-clause added to the regulations so discredit the assumption? —N. C. A practice that has been ridiculed by many students and faculr ty is that of advance write-ups in the Viking. These appear each week and are written long before the program or lecture is heard. To say that -certain numbers were more highly applauded than others and that the artist showed greatest artistic ability when she played a great masterpiece is only speculation and-is not valid hews. As the students come from the assembly after hearing a program, the report of applause seems foolish, for often the reported has missed her guess: Someone argues that such news .held over for the ; ^ issue would be old. iAt toy rate^ it Hi,' there! Gee, but I'm down in the mouth—so much to do in finishing up the quarter's work—no letter from the girl friend—and, well —have you ever tried to be funny when feeling anyway but that?— Then I guess we should recall what the Quacker said—"No matter how blue a man may be—his blanket is always a comfort." .••_•- , Kirv Smith suggests PEACH tRECKLES! and we're game.

Deieats Vty igs 7 to 6 ui ' Fmal Game of the Season at Seattle Bellingham Normal lost a heart breaking (game to the University of Washington summer school baseball team Wednesday at Seattle when its defense weakened and allowed the winning run to come across the plate in the last of the "tenth inning.. The final score was 7 to 6. -After trailing along for first part of the game, the Vikings rallied in the ninth to go into the lead when Jewell and Patterson were safe on errors, and hits by Okerlund, Baxter and Vanderfofd drove in three runs. In Washington's half of the ninth Walby was given a pass to first, went,to second on a fielder's choice and later scored, tieing the score at six all. - Listo had things his own way in the first half of the tenth and retired the Normalites without a run. Washington annexed the game in the last of the tenth inning when Beaner Walby smashed out a scorching single to drive Snyder across the plate. with the winning run. s Patterson allowed only seven hits and struck out ten men, but from the umpire's point of view couldn't seem to cut the corners. Liston allowed seven hits also but kept them well scattered except for the ninth inning episode. Kure and Brumwell, playing shortstop for their respective teams turned in some sparkling plays with sensational throws to first base. , Walby, former U. of W. catcher, who has had a trial with Los Angeles in the Coast league, connected for a triple, a double, and a single, in five times at bat. Okerlund, Vanderf qrd, Baxter, Kure, and Beighle held up the hitting honors for Bellingham. This game was the second of a two-game series, the first one being .played on Waldo field last week with the University winning 6 to 3.

E. department. It has been evident that the women of this school, as a whole, have been interested in some line of • athletics whether it was tennis, horseshoes, handball, archery or "swimming. In these tournaments conducted the one in archery was the most successful but the others were en-thusiasticaUy supported. The tournaments, however, were more successful the first term because there were more ^students participating. The^ action^ ^ Badihmtorii to the sport program has also increased PROSPECT BRIGHT Eleven Lettermen to be Back for Opening of the Pigskin Season. As sport activities at Bellingham Normal are drawing to a close for the summer season, Coach Sam Carver, sport mentor at the "Viking Institute" has his weather eye on next fall's football season. A pre-season survey of pigskin material gives local fans the right to be optimistic for the coming fall, with a promise of eleven lettermen and several second string men back. In new material there are some prospective high school stars from this side and several Eastern Washington men already in line. Last year's lettermen who are doped to appear on the scene of battle next fall are: Stickney, center; Wanamaker, tackle; Anderson, Thorsen, Cox, and Edmundson, ends; and in the backfield Weber, Erickson, Odell, Clarke, and Estill. FalLSchedule The Vikings will open their regular schedule with Ellensburg on October N19, there, and will probably play two scheduled practice games before this date. The West Seattle, Athletic club has ben signed to appear here on October 13, in the first game, while several prospects are in line for October 6, no definite arrangements for a game has been made. On Homecoming day, October 27, the Vikings will meet Cheney in the annual Homecoming celebration program. November 3 the Blue and White clashes with St. Martin's here, and on November 10 journeys to Seattle to meet the U. of W. Supervarsity. The last game scheduled thus far is with the University Frosh, and takes place when the Babes come up here on November 17, for their first Bellingham appearance in several years. * o '• Norby Downs Jewell to Take Second Place in Tournament Play Commend Coaches for Summer Work Head Cdach Sam Carver, Assistant" Earle Jewell Supervise Sport Activities in Efficient Manner - ', (By Garland Okerlund) A great deal or complimentary comment, has been heard upon the way intramural sports of the summer session has been carried out and students and faculty members agree that the program just completed has been one of the most satisfactory in recent years. A great deal of credit for this program must go to Head Coach Sam Carver, who has built up an enviable record by serving this school as head of the Physical Education department for over fifteen years." Coach Carver is well pleased with the sports program and says: "I feel that the main objectives have been realized in the summer activities: healthful recreation for the whole student Only one week left to go in the men's intramural tennis tournament, yet.the fourteen men still on the ladder still fail to show the least signs of life. In the three days of school remaining before end of the quarter, interest is expected to pick up as usual, with challengers trying their best to play two and three matches a day, and defenders practicing the use of alibis. Regardless of all this, positions on the ladder seem bound to remain almost as they are now, with Bob Fisher in first place, Theo. Norby in second, and Earle Jewell in third. . In the only match of the past week's play, Norby won back second place.from Jewell by administering him his third beating in,four matches between the two this summer.

Unusual Work Done ' By Summer Classes Work done in the summer art classes will be on display in Rooms 303, 304, and 305, Monday and Tuesday when the Art Department will hold open house. According €6 Miss Marie Druse, head of the Art Department, the work this summer is of unusually excellent quality. Several art" teachers from the various cities of the state are in attendance and have contributed largely to the work, as have some talented students who are spending all of their time in the Art department. Included in the work done by the advanced art and poster classes will be some studies in crayon, in charcoal and water color, water color, water color and ink, ink, tempera, and cup paper. Some very nice baskets will be shown by the basketry class and various projects which may be used by the teachers of average schools will be displayed by the methods classes.^ RUCKMICK HAS DISPLAY Mr. H. C. Ruckick, instructor in photography, is showing a group of his pictures, including a large framed copy of the prize offered by ' the Herald last year. Most of this group are scenes in and around Bellingham, but some were taken last year when Mr. Ruckmick was in the East. Some of the pictures exhibited here will be "sent to the Eastman Kodak company later and it .is probable that members of the class will have their pictures published in "Kodakery." Work on the exhibit is being carried on by committees under the direction of Mary; Hibner, general chairman elected by the class. o — COLLETT COURT j Miss Ella Thostenson attended the wedding of a school friend at Burlington this week-end.

Norjnalite T W O ^ EW ONES ANOTHER YARN WHAT NOT YE DIARY by G. W. L. With the aim of getting students to think in terms of international and pacific relationships, the history department here is again adding to the courses next quarter International Relations 103, and History of the Orient 150." The scope of both courses is to acquaint the student with political and social problems, and religious and philosophical attitudes in the history of the world's peoples. Nor is the artistic viewpoint left out in the study of national cultures for emphasis is placed on the ' arts, languages and customs. The Normal offers a large number of courses in specialized history. The recently added courses are the continuing of a sequence dealing -with international relationships. ...These two studies, of many, serve to give students here a more liberal education as well as teacher training. This dualism of "teacher training., and liberal., education" ..was founded only a very few years by inaugurated by.the present administration. . W. S. N. S. Can you imagine stringent regulations keeping students f r om bringing knitting to their meals? Well, just this rule was laid down to students of Smith College at Northhampton, Massachusetts, when a knitting craze broke out rather spontaneously on their campus a few weeks ago. The law was passed lest, perchance, the yarn become .confused with the food, including that food with the Italian name. FROSH AND NORAIAL TEAMS DEBATE THE W. S. N. S.

Normal Has Negative Side While University Supports Affirmative In No-Decision Contest. R. W. GREENE, CHAIRMAN New Type Cross Examination Debate Proved to a Greater Degree Alertness and Skill of Debators. Resolved, That the system of trial by jury in the United States be replaced by a court of three judges, was the subject of the debate between the University of Washington Frosh. and Normal debaters in last Tuesday's assembly. The Frosh team supported the affirmative side of the question, while the Normalites upheld the negative side. The Frosh team, composed of James Munro and Neil Arnett, and the Normal team, Stanley Craft and Curtis Bell, were introduced by Lawyer R. W. Green, who acted as chairman of the debate. This new style of no-decision, cross-examining type of debate is advocated in all colleges and universities of the Northwest, since it calls for a far more alert mind and more nitiative on the part of the debater. Arnett Advocates Reform Neil Arnett, as the first affirmative speaker, attempted to explain and convince his hearers that there was a positive need for reform in the present system of jurisdiction. He deftly pointed out that "in this age of specialization, we want specialists to do our finer work and to hold our more responsible positions. A ssembly Programs / Go On the Air Today (Continued on Page Four) o PLEASE BIG CROWD Quartet Sings Russian Songs at Christian Church Musical Program. "Bell Song" Gets Big Hand. Today!s assembly inauguarted the broadcast of the assembly program over KVOS, the Bellingham radio station-The microphone which was installed in the auditorium yesterday is connected directly with the transmitter over a telephone line which runs from, the assembly room to the main studio. The management has had financial troubles due to the lack of good programs and the station is now operating in the hands of the receivers. The receivers are trying to put the station^ back on its feet by offering a better class of entertainment. In the opinion of many of the town people who have radios, the broadcasting of our assemblies is a decided step in advertising the Bellingham State Normal and at the same time offering a better class of music than has been presented before over the local station.. The initial broadcast was opened with a concert by the Williams' Trio, an artistic . group of well-known ability. President C. H. Fisher said in assembly last Tuesday: "If your folks at home have radios, have them tune in on KVOS at eleven o'clock on the days that the assemblies are to be broadcasted:" Steal Pennies From Grandma's Sock and Purchase "Whoopee" Red Arrow Many New Courses Are Offered for the Junior High School Curriculum. „ Presenting an entertaining program, composed largely of Russian folk songs and ballads, the Kedroff Quartet appeared at the First Christian Church last Tuesday evening. It was the fifth number of the Musical Artists' Course which is sponsored by the Bellingham Woman's Music Club and the State Normal School. Singing their entire program in their native tongue and without instrumental accompaniment, the Russians showed the wonderful tone quality of their voices. The personnel of this world-famous quartet includes; I. K. Denissoff, first tenor; T. F. Kasakoff, second tenor; N. N. Kedroff, baritone, and C- N. Kedroff, bass, each of whom is a skillful artist. Delightful Selection The exquisite rendering of the familiar selection, "Song of the Volga Boatman," which closely follows .the spirit of the monotonous laboring chant of men towing the heavy boats, was perhaps the most outstanding number of the first group of Russian folk songs. , By special request the quartet sang Psalm 134, "Behold, Bless Ye the Lord," composed by Ippolitov- Ivanov, which is used in the services of-the Eastern Orthodox Church. The reverential spirit and the beautiful harmony displayed the artists' ability in this field. Bell Song Distinctive The artists displayed their perfect balance at its best in the;"Bells of Novgorod," arranged by Karnovitch. This provincial wedding song is taken from the farewells accompany^- ing the bridal ceremony. The ringing tones of many sizes of bells were most remarkably rendered by the A new class is being offered by Professor L. A. Kibbe this quarter called School Administration. It is designed for those intending to be principals of small schools or those who would like a better knowledge of the administration of school affairs. Dr. Miller is offering a class in in Organization and Administration of the Junior High School, designed particularly for students who are specializing in Junior High School; work, (Ed. 124). Miss Sperry is giving a class in Browning (Eng. 107). Miss Kang-ley is giving a 5-hr. course on the Modern Novel, (Eng. 113). Mr. Hoppe offers a course on the Modern Drama (Eng. 117), and is also repeating play production. Miss Madden is giving an expression course intended especially for students in the Junior High School department, (Speech 107). Mr. Hunt will teach two new subjects, Principles of Geography (Geog. 102), an advanced course for Juniors especially interested in geography, and Recent American History (Hist. 103), from the Civil War down to the present time. Mr. Smith will give a course in t h e History of Music, and Miss Cummins one in International Relations (Pol. Sci. 103), while Mr. Bever presents a course on Modern Social Problems (Sociology 102). Even if you have to steal the pennies from the northeast corner of your grandmother's woolen sock, have approximately twenty cents in American currency. on Friday next when the "Whoopee" issue of the Red Arrow is to appear. Much preparation has been put on this issue ,in fact its complexion will have altogether a different hue. While the term "Whoopee" in modern slanguage has as many interpretations as there are spots on a saloon-keeper's soul, yet an attempt has been made in choosing the material for the Red Arrow to be humorous without being crude. There will also be much of stern and serious stuff, some of which reaches a degree of literary- excellence. Of much interest to the readers is a humorous article by Victor A. Hoppe, and another written in the same vein by Arthur Kolstad. Then there is a resume 6i the matrimonial trials and troubles offered by Leonard Keppler, who has recently entered that profession. Many other humorous trticles, short stories, and. poems, will appear, written by such promising embryo journalists as Barney Chichester, Irene Schagel, Dolly Anderson, Lloyd Beckes.'Mark Jarret, Jane L'Eveque, Phil' Davis and Jack Gudmundson. Among the sterner stuff appears the names of. Frances Gladwin, Paul Booth, Geo. Sherman, and Joy Efteland. This issue of the Red Arrow will contain approximately twenty-eight pages, illustrated with woodcuts by local artists.'The cover promises to be a distinct innovation. So if you have to steal and pav/n the extra set of grandma's false teeth, have twenty cents for next Friday's brand new Red Arrow.

The young poets thus far who have declared their intentions are: Margaret Chester, Vangie Moon, and Waddington Ab- ' bott. Guy Springsteel, chairman of the contest, says he has had the pleasure of hearing a number of songs which have not been officially contributed as yet. He also mentioned Ethel Boynton's effort which to all indications promises to be a real college song.

However, one of the most effective and prominent means of imparting such news to the general school public is being neglected. This medium of enlightenment, namely the Northwest Viking, is receiving very little club news. Either club reporters are falling down on the job, or clubs are failing to elect reporters. It is the advantage of such organizations to keep a prominent position' before the public eye. The mountain will not come to Mahomet; let Mahomet come to the mountain. A H ! We welcome the chirp of the robin, the warmth of gracious old Sol, the green of the grass and the trees, the click of cameras, the appearance of bright frocks and delirious ties. We rejoice at the arrival of all these because they represent Spring, and with Spring comes that greatest of national pastimes, B A S E B A L L ! Below is an explanatory opinion dealing with the two gt; proposed amendments coming up at this time before the student body. Many students are not aware that even one amendment has been promoted. However, there are two. One, in the By-Laws, is for the awarding of the official school "W" pin at the completion of the term required by the proposed amendment to the constitution, which deals with terms of office and times of election only. We of the Press believe that these two amndments are important enough to require earnest deliberation, consideration, and adoption on the part of A L L students at Bellingham Normal. Magpie Barks Have you ever read "Pluck" by Basil King? The story of a minister's family which was more or less a victim of circumstances. The children were not fundamentally wayward, bat there seemed to be nothing else to do. It's queer how life twists us anyway.; Just another "American Tragedy." HAVE YOU SEEN "SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE" YET? THEN GO TONIGHT! Priceless gems from "Seven Keys:"' "I hope the prison catches on fire and you're all burned to a crisp" "I'm the school teacher here." "You rat!" "One of our best little squealers."' "Sounds like one of them black hand notes they send to rich folks." "I'm going mad. My brain's on fire. It gives us so much satisfaction to smile wisely and say, "Yes, I've loved and lost and I know." We like to think we've spent Life's silver pennies one by one until they were all gone. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE VERY YOUNG. We are wont to look at the old wise men and say "What can you understand in this complicated modern life. But I—well, I understand it so well." THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE VERY YOUNG. In the past it has been the practice to elect, all officers of the Board of Control for four quarters and to" grant that official school "W" pin at the completion of two quarters service. The effect of awarding an officer at the completion of half his term has led to a predominance of half-filled terms in the history of student government. This situation has b|een particularly apparent during the past three years from a group of twenty odd former office holders, and there are but four who have completed terms of four quarters duration. One other cause for uncompleted terms is the required four-quarter term. It is obvious that most students must withdraw from school during the summer quarter; they cannot, therefore, conscientiously become candidates for a four-quarter position. But as a pin is to be granted at the end of two quarters service, candidates are inclined to develop a wrong viewpoint in that the intrinsic value of the pin, and not the helpful service to the school, becomes the real motive. The proposed amendment to the constitution- has been drawn up by a committee of Board members, and prominent students. In their opinion, the office of president and vice-president must be kept at a four-quarter active service requirement in order, to give student government the continuity which it needs during the change of under-graduate to graduate summer students in June. But the other three representatives (one for three quarters, elected in the fall, one for four quarters, elected .in the fall, and, one for four quarters, elected in the winter, will be granted a leave of absence by the Board of Control during the summer, giving the office-holder the right to return in the fall and complete his term. The vacancies caused by representatives leaving for the summer will be filled by an election late in the spring quarter. Officers so elected will serve for the summer quarter only. The one exception will be the three-quarter fall representative (mentioned above) whose summer absence will* be filled at a summer .election by summer students, and for that quarter only. Therefore, a candidate may be elected for four quarters, but his term is completed at the end of his third quarter of active service. The proposed amendment of the By-Laws would grant the award of the school pin at the end of the third quarter of active service. In this way, the Board will have continuity over the summer quarter. More students will be available as candidates if they may drop out summer quarter, and will retain their offices until the completion of four-quarter terms. I believe that these amendments, although they will not remedy all student government deficiencies, will promote a step of improvement in the evolution of student affairs. ' " ' " •• -—Hamilton Church. We are enjoying a morose afternoon. We are proud of the fact that we think life is not worth while and that all people are false. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE SO VERY YOUNG. 0 WORLD NEWS What would Shakespeare think of the "Talkies?" We do indeed wonder. He probably would be dissatisfied with the atmosphere of artificiality this medium still retains but would be optimistic as to the future with present crudities eliminated. We trust he will not turn over in his grave the first time one of his plays is reproduced a la vita-phone. BOOK REVIEW THE CLOSED GARDEN. By Julian Green. Translated from the French by Henry Longan Stuart, Introduction by Andre Maurois. Published by Harper Brothers: New York and London (1928). First Edition. Julian Green is a very young man who although of American parents promises to be one of the great writers in French contemporary literature. He writes in a seemingly calm steadfast manner the most tempestuous of sensations; he quietly lays bare the most hidden moods of his characters; he is intense. The setting for his "The Closed Garden" is laid in a quaint little French village in the walled garden of a family of the middle class. The setting is romantic, but the^subject matter is drab realism, sordid melodrama. Four hundred terrible pages are woven around an hysterical girl, in love with a man to whom she has never spoken; a girl who becomes insane after having killed her father. His analysis and interpretation of Adrienne, - his heroine, are almost diabolic in their rending, tearing manner. His pictures, are painted with a most sensitive touch, and so suggestively that one recognizes them even up to the slightest detail. His depiction of the lovely, spirited girl who is, one might say, nagged tc insanity is almost terrifying. He carries her through her emotions to delirium with such a power that it seems like some hideous dream. One of the most noticeable characteristics of Julian Green's writings, is their remarkable similarity to Tolstoy's. Mr.. Green, like the latter, chooses an emotional source and bases his dramas upon the resulting conflicting mental agonies which ultimately lead to discovery and often to insanity. "The" Closed Garden" is a gripping novel and one which will not soon be forgotten." Mr. Green is as yet a young man and his works are already termed great. He is creating literary, history and he is not afraid to face the most weighty problems of the day in his true, straightfor ward manner. N EW ILLS FOR OLD (New Disease Found—News Item.)

GONE, B U T NOT FORGOTTEN It has been recently called to the attention of the Northwest Viking that several scarfs (silk ones, top), were borrowed at the Inside Girls Informal of last Saturday evening. Such carelessness on the part of the borrowers is to be lamented but if these gentlemen (we hope so) will return the aforementioned, neck-pieces to the Viking office they will be forgiven and congratulated for having read our editorial column.

WASHINGTON BIOGRAPHY Now that the Basketball season is over, and we have mistreated all t he Basketeers through these columns, we shall start in on the members of the W. Club that have not been honored through this personal attention. ' • The man in our mind right now is Granny Thorlakson, the little speed-ball artist that performs around the mound in the warmer seasons of the year. Granny's athletic career started in a little school out in the distant suburbs of Bellingham, Meridian. The lad worked up quite a reputation for himself hurling for his school. Then when he came to Normal he tried to forget his chucking and went in for the less strenuous side of the national pastime. But the coaches liked his mound work i and placed him back in the center of the diamond. Today Granny is a two-year let-terman in the diamond sport, and it begins to look as if he would have another stripe added to his sweater again this season. Besides his participation in baseball, Granny has been one of the mainstays of the Jayvee, and Super Varsity quintets, during the past two hoop seasons. His experience is by no means limited to the work that he has done here at Normal, for he has had considerable i experience with twilight league ball in Bellingham. Granny should be a valuable man for the Viking nine this year. * * * The fact that Herbert Hoover was installed in his new quarters last Monday, did not in any way deter the Co-ops and the Kitchen Krew from locking horns -in the semi-windup of the intramural championship play-off.

NATIONALPASTIMERS CHASING OUT KINKS Diamond Enthusiasts Beginning Early Season Workouts in Gym. Already the diamond aspirants are limbering up the well-known glass arms and stiff joints that have been idle since the close of the diamond season last year. . All over the Southern part of the United States the professional ball clubs are getting into shape for the coming* season. ,.A11 over the country there is a ^ spirit of the diamond entering into the sports chatter of the fans. Baseball is in the air. Spring is on its way northward and will soon be upon us. Then the Normal toss-ers may be enabled to step out of the dressing room and caper and cavort around the diamond in a real business-like manner. A few of the boys are already tossing the old apple around the interior of the little gym, and on occasions they manage' to get out in the fresh air for a few minutes. But for a few minutes only, for it is. too cold as yet for any real outside work, and those who do go out are well bundled as yet for any real outside work, and those who do go out are well bundled in sweat shirts and sweaters. : - The coaches are recommending that the fellows turn out in the gym, but advise, against the outside work. They do not want to take any chances on having a team loaded down with sore arms and shoulders. As yet there has been no use of the bat in the short workouts. The fellows are just throwing the little pill around among themselves and taking the kinks out of their arms and backs.

The second game went the route of the first but m a less decisive manner, 30 to 27 on Saturday night. In the first half of the last game the Bear cagers ran up 21 points to the Huskies 6, but the second half was practically a reverse, -the Northerners made 21 points to 9 for the Southern team. This was the third Conference playoff that the Huskies have lost in consecutive games. BLAINE WINS Again a Whatcom County team carried off first honors in a district basketball tournament. This year the Blaine Borderites nosed out the Mount Vernon quintet by one point, 34 to 33, in the finals last Saturday night. They, earned the right to represent the Northwest section as Team No. 1, at the Stale tournament to be held in Seattle, March 14, 15, and 16. Captain Clint McBeath, Whatcom High forward, and Captain Ted Hanson, center, from the Border City, were the two Whatcom county men placed on the mythical All-Star five. Minaman, Mount Vernon, Was the other forward named, while Frazier, Mount Vernon, and Curtis, Snohomish, were the guards picked: , o — Through the new 200-inch telescope we con see 2,700,000,000,000,- 000,000,000,000 miles of space.

The season has been a tough-one and the managers had their hands full in trying to choose those whom they considered the best of the lot. However, they finally reached a decision, and the following group of men is the result of long and painful concentration and discussion. The members of the first team are: Parker, Co-op, arid Gravrock, Men's Club, forwards; Stickney of the Kitchen Krew, center; while Wanamaker of the Co-ops, and Lamphere of the Krew were chosen as the men to fill the guard berths. For the second team were chosen: Arnett of the Co-ops and Hamilton, Vanadis Bragi, for the forwards; with Gaither of the Men's Club at center, and Adkinson of the Vanadis Bragi and Prigg of the Co-ops as guards. Those receving honorable mention from the managers are Green, Co-ops, Chichester of the Thespians, Hunicutt of the Kitchen Krew, and Johnson and Beighle, also of the Krew. The Co-ops hold the lead in number of players that placed on the All-Star teams, with two men on each team, while a fifth man received honorable mention. There was a triple tie between the Vanadis Bragi, Kitchen Krew and the Men's Club. Each team placed two men on the mythical teams. There was only one team that was not mentioned in the mythical squad. ELLENSBURG, Feb. 28.—Eighteen football players, representing one of the greatest teams ever put out at Ellensburg Normal, received /their sweaters at a special all-school assembly held here today. The assembly was opened with short talks by President Black, Coach Sandberg and Wesley Ruble, captain of the grid team of this year, after which the sweaters were awarded by Howard Porter, faculty athletic manager. Six of the sweaters given out 'today bore three stripes, four were given to two-year veterans, and eight men received their first award for pigskin service. Names of three former football captains were included in the list of three-year veterans, and all six are names that have long been prominent in Normal school athletics. Tex Robinson, Rich Peterson and Wes Ruble are all former captains, while the other three, Adolph Lindquist, Jack Connor and Marion Sterling have been instrumental in bringing three successive grid ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 March 8 - Page 4 ---------- Ilili^^ tif $6jrihful Scientists •0m;- Make Trip to Shore CHILDREN SCORE IN DRAMA PRODUCTION ^ S p l a s h , !

He .lias left the White House, a younger .and smiling man, and Mr. Hoover accepts the responsible position. lt; JUtt. Hoover, himself, went over the : original inaugural speech, correcting 'all errors and getting it ready for the printers.. Every man who is to be in the cabinet has seen public service of some sort at one time or another. Two had their experience in war time, six have or are now serving the Federal government, one has been a state governor, while another once held the office of town mayor, but had quit. The''post which Mr. Hoover, himself, held so efficiently for so many years he has given to Mr. Lamont. Friends say that the President-elect searched for a man who was an outstanding engineer and who had a wide business experience to fill this importhant office of Secretary of Commerce. ..Mr. Hoover is a good judge of men, having been in contact with all kinds of people thruout his life. He is a keen business man and we may rest assured that all vacant offices will be filled with efficient /men. President Coolidge will hand his responsibilities over to our new President with a feeling that no hands more capable could have received them. There is a mutual respect and friendship between these two great men that comes from each of them knowing and recognizing the worth of the other. Then, too, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hoover have one big thing in common: They are both expert anglers. o — suitors that the test is one designed to ascertain their charitable inclinations - toward the poor. The wood cutter rescued the queen by giving her water when she had been overcome by eating too much bread offered her by the suitors, who all proved generous, and won the hand of the princess. Costumes Attractive The costumes were full of color and fancy and typical of the choices made by children in their everyday world of make believe. The keen interest displayed by the pupils shows that they are gaining valuable experience which will make of them more observant and capable critics of drama in the future. 0 "SEVEN KEYS" PLAYS AGAIN THIS EVENING (Continued from Page One) TWO DEBATES COMING OFF THIS WEEK] Our affirmative men's team will stage a debate with Parkland College today at two o'clock in the auditorium.

Well, did you ever think how funny it would be to see one of them today after we are so used to silent drama supreme and the talkies? The other day we got to see one and maybe it wasn't funny. It was supposed to be a\. melodrama, but the biggest thrill came to us by the way of the styles of ten years ago and the old-fashioned technique. And then, the reels had to be turned by hand (the light was generated by an old Ford engine, by the way) and between each reel, one had to wait in the dark for about ten minutes before the next one was ready. Well, all in all, it was a "reel" show. # * * *, And now our column has a new rival! Just an every day special staff 'rambles' in with a colyum in a big attempt to steal our thunder! And, do you know, it wasn't such a bad effort, either; he even acquired the editorial we. Next think we know, we will be debunked in favor of this young upstart—egad! * * * * But we think that if our neophyte rival really knew his stuff, about this one armed driving, he would know that nine times out of ten the woman in the case had one hand on the wheel, too. Tsk, tsk, Chuck; you forgot to "Cherchez la feirime!" * '• * * At last we have some authentic column material. An antique Turk of 156 summers has come to America with a purpose in view. (Whereupon all the big and little columnists in the country avidly leap upon the poor old man as legal copy and five the old duffer a lot of free publicity... He had his picture in the brown sheet, but he's a noble sub^ ject for yellow journalism). • * * * However, that is beside the point. What we actually started out to say Was that he has come over for his twelfth wife and to he-fitted with false teeth so that he can enjoy life. (It doesni designate whether it is the teeth or the wife ' that are to lend enjoyment); Anyway; if he is the kind of a man we think he is, he hasn't much left in life that is different to enjoy; but we would recommend a roily-coaster and some pet milk. We wonder if our friend, the Asiatic Methusaleh, would like to come up to our fair institution for a day (or maybe he would like to exhibit the pictures of lt;- his other eleven wives in room 209 for a few days) in order to deliver a lecture on technique or "S. A." or even "It". And then, he might even.be able to interest some tired teacher in his lonely years that stretch ahead of :Mm. : '" '.'"

We wonder just what would Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the Auditorium, "The Pigeon", by John Galsworthy, will be produced. The Normal Drama club offers this play as "distinguished entertainment". Mr. Galsworthy in "The Pigeon" has excelled in his method of partly emotional, parftly intellectual talk. "The Pigeon" is essentially a play of ideas. It is distinguished entertainment in that it teaches as it amuses. The story is managed in such a fashion as to be neither tragic, nor essentially serious. Such synonyms as "sympathetic, compassionate, and tolerant," suggest its spirit. Mr. Eugene O'Neill has written a drama called "The Hairy Ape" in which Yank, a stoker on an ocean liner, tries to find his place in organized society. The O'Neill play is strong medicine, a bitter, turbulent indictment of mans lack of humanity toward brother man. Mr. Galsworthy has treated the same material in a less forthright fashion. He chooses to "poke gentle fun at the "tame birds" of society who would clip and imprison the "wild birds". With mild symbolism he brings upon his stage three derelicts: FarrariS, a young French vagabond; Timson, a besotted old cockney cab driver; Megan, a little S.S.

Mr. Victor Hoppe has selected the play and the cast with care; and the entire time since, the beginning of the quarter has been devoted to perfecting the production. Mr. Hoppe himself will appear in the cast. People who are familiar with "The Pigeon" declare unhesitatingly that it is an unusually captivating vehicle. Mr. Hoppe promises not only a pleasant evening, but one that will stir your interest as well. Every student enrolled this quarter should attend. Because of apathy prevalent during the summer quarter, there are few enough good things offered, and of the various types of recreation available, drama should be the most welcome. Most people are familiar with the work done by the Drama Club in the past, and that should guarantee a recorct-breaking turnout for the two evenings' program.

Bureau of Research Tests Show Growth During Two School Years During the past school year the Bureau of Research has spent considerable time studying the results and uses of student entrance tests. By combining scores on certain of these tests, it was found possible to predict quite accurately the grades which a given student would receive at the end of the first quarter of work. Tests ordinarily are given to students during their first quarter attendance. This last spring they were given in May to those who graduated, from the two-year course in June.

Lundberg, on the mound for his Lunkers, held the Swedes in the opening^stanza hitless but 'when Swanson took the box in the last half of th inning the Lunkers got to him for singles by McCleery, and Ott, and a triple by Hamilton. Two errors and a sacrifice by Tew scored fouTji-uns.

With the score~5r2 they came to bat. Swanson, first up, singled through short, and Axelson reached first on an error by Hamil-: ton. It-was here that things took on the apeparances of gt; a Civil War battlefield. Geri popped up an infield fly with two men on bases. According-to the rules the batter should have been called out but Axelson was put out trying to reach second on the playi A big squabble ensued during which Geri stole second. With Swanson on third, Brown got up and doubled to right field, scoring Swanson arid Geri. This made the score 5-4* with one down. With things looking tough, Lundberg tightened up and fanned Gunn and Brownlow flied out to Hamilton, retiring the side.

Arntzen Weeps in Denying EacH and Every Charge. ; One of Earl Carroll's lovely little "Vanities" is responsible for . Edward J. Arntzen, instructor at tlie Bellingham State. Normal school, being arraigned, in a local justice court pri charges" of disturbing: the peace, •disorderly conduct and reckless driving. Arntzen, accompanied by one. of the young ladies of the Vanities' ~ Revue, which played at- the "Ameiican Theatre last, night, was arrested by Patrolman O'Leary, after he had inoticed the couple careen around the block four times, at Cornwall and Holly street intersection. .', When accosted by the officer, E. J. :Arntzen appeared to be in a dazed and bewildered state. Examination failed to reveal any evidence of liq-uoi-. The lady was allowed to go after O'Leary was persuaded of her innocence - in the matter. Later, when questioned closely by the justice he failed to give real reason for releasing her except that she had patted his cheek and said, "There, that's a nice dear!" In fact, officer O'Leary was unable to give a satisfactory story of events after he stopped the party. !-•• .Professor Arntzen was unable to give a coherent story to the court so the hearing was. postponed until this afternoon. Later this morning, when questioned by a messenger-reporter;' he had regained a somewhat natural cpmposur^;- but was. rather noncommital. • Wh« asked how he, a teacher, happened to' be attending such, a* per-fprmance, he admitted that his con: duct was perhaps a little irregular. "Put when I saw the billboard advertisements with white strips of paper; covering the figures? on them, I was determined to see the show." As to how he came to be driving such an attractive young lady about, Mr. Arntzen would give no answer. "Eh," he said, with a characteristic drawl as though about to explain, "I'll tell you about it some other time." President Fisher refused to make any statements regarding the fate of the hapless professor and his position, as instructor in the social -and science department, except that his classes would meet as scheduled, without him, for the-present. Faculty MembersGalled in for Secret Conference—Blame Carroll Dorm Customers Give Low Down on Their Favorite Eating Place '•', "Where dya eat?" yodels Web, '"t th' dorm?" "Naw!" And how ? ' . ' . . One has to be on his spinach to eat there. And that's an error, too. Don't ever let any normal minded person tell you he. is eating at the Dorm. He may go there three times a day, but he's a liar and a martyr if he -says he eats there. Home was never like this! And after we have just there few days past returned from sho'nuff food that was cooked and that was presented in sufficient quantities! And them chicken! You can bet they wasn't mangled in the meat grinder and drowned in some gurgly sort of paste. And who won't be glad when the cauliflowers have, all been consumed, -even if the rhubarb season is open for. the rest of the quarter? Friday isn't the only thing that is fishy either. Take this left-over spinach planked down in the northeast corner of a wilted lettuce leaf; sling some dressing at it and throw in two defenseless offensive sardines. But one can't, complain* about, food that is so. nourishing and that is an instigator . of ruddy complexions and curly hair and all that sort of rot. Whether it's "hot or cold" it's always enough to make a poor sinner hot to think of having lost fifteen minutes of good hygienic sleep for that. And no matter if you thunder, "Milk, "please!" you get half -your •daily allotment of pura aqua. . The most fun one can get out of the ten and thirty-five minute sessions'spent in the vulgarly called dining hall, is the sport of an organized guessing game. ' T r e e guesses—vot iss it?" 'Til bite!" "Wrong! Four more guesses!" "Wegetable gargle!" "Not so good!" "It wouldn't be! Must be 'lambs also!' " "Better yet!" "So's your last summer's straw hat! . Carve it and sling it around!" "Hah!—lil puppy dorgs in their second childhood!" "No wonder puppy love is so rank. It o'uglfta be condemned." "Oink, oink!" "Well, I'm.thru!-Let's go!" However oranges and onions do make a wonderful color scheme. Probably it's self protection from these bold he-men frequenting the dark walks of the.Normal. That's why we all eat the onions greedily and clamor for more. We would! We are that kind!'. Be that as it may, prunes will continue to grow .in the same old cans, and the Irish" fruit will retain its official position at the. light of the hostess, clue to the undying courtesy of Burbank and our. Dietitian. We may live to eatj but there are times when we find we can not eat to live. • I. hope you don't feel hurt! (Photo by The -Kibbe Studio).

It was not thirty minutes later that he first learned to crawl. As the picture indicates, he was early afflicted with obesity (it is still one of his secret struggles). But sighting a part of an all-day sucker across the floor, he preservered until he Teached it. And Id! He had learned to crawl. Lately. Mr. Arestad has continuously scrawled for the Messenger until convicted of printing obscene material, and "busted", to Business Manager. Calling your attention to baby Syerre Arestad, at the age of eleven months, just before he acquired the nickame "Parsimonious." . Sverre won his nickname in a rather unique manner. When presented with a brand new copper penny on his first birthday anniversary, little Sverre swallowed it rather than spend it, saying in his babyish Scandinavian accent: "Jeg vil have Here ore." Ensconced in crimson folds of the mantle of fame there lives today a poet. In the eyes of the world he has achieved the ascendancy over all his rivals, vanquishing all former doubts of his always unquestionable •merit. The National Board of Poetry and Prose had requested his presence and if convenient, a poem or two, "However," so the letter ran, "your mere presence will incite our people to great works." ' The Poet, like all anthropoids, followed the path of least resistance and decided that his "mere presence" would suffice. But, as he sat in state, there came a longing to give a poem or two. The Officiating Cornerstone Layer then introduced the speaker ^ s "Phil- Arlan Sisk, who is known'" to all and needs no introduction. The poet is with us again after three years instruction under Nature's great guide, the world." The audience swayed in anticipation. The Officiating Cornerstone Layer seated himself and spoke' to the Poet. "Your mere presence, you know; .just a few words." A new thot; a Hew line—reverie again claimed our hero. He sank into its labyrinths. The very air breathed a song,.instilling within him the best of poetic impulses". Could he capture its essence ? He did. Slowly he arose and greeted the people: "Peace," lie said, "the hour is at hand." Cheers. "A message in rhyme will suit the time." More cheers. Fervently- he spoke. "Spring lias brought the sunshine, Spring has brought the dew; Spring has brought the onions; It's nice to be with you." But the Cornerstone Layer had arisen. 'My dear Sisk" he said and led the Poet to his seat, explaining to the populace, "Pardon this slight stroke of insanity, but—" Here the shouts of the populace hindered further speech. L •" In the annals of history it has-been written that : great" men are misunderstood. So be it. Phil Aiian had gfveri'the essence of his song. "Shall we'letVt'hem in or shall they stay out"—that is the burning question. This is what confronted Pres. Fisher this week when the notorious Earl Carrol's Vanities offered their acts on the Normal school stage. "This is a hot question," mused the President; "let me see—ah, I have it now, I'll call a meeting of the faculty and we'll decide it together." So Pres. Fisher double rang* the bell, and in they came. There were Miller and Jonesi and Kolstad, and Kibbe, and Bever, and Berg, and Edens arid sail the faithfuls. "Now then," said Miv Fisher, "you know the question—shall they come in or shall they stay out. Are we going to be swayed by public sentimentality or by our own—here indeed must rule intelligence!" Then up leaps Ma*. Miller and shouts: "Let them in! Let them in!! I say, let them in!!!" "Be calm, Doctor, be calm," soothingly spoke Pres. Fisher, seeing him pale with excitement. "Calmness, sir, is the essential. for a state of protracted inquiry and suspended judgment.' So Mr. Miller sat down fuming and looking hard at Mr. Kolstad, who was rising to speak with haste, "They shall not enter here," came between gasps, from Kolstad. Then, hysterical, he quavered, "they shall not— they shall not— they shall not —they shall not," 'till he fell exhausted into Mr. Bever's open arms. Up shoots Mr. Berg, and looking Mr. Fisher square in the eye, whispers: "If they go in—I go but! No throwbacks, Mr. Fisher; no throw-backs." Kibbe Tells 'Em. A loud scuffle at the back and everyone turned to hear Alonzo Kibbe rising and wildlv shaking a state manual. "I'm a man of few words," tersely spoke Kibbe, "but having been a constant follower of revues and midnight frolics for some time; hav ing regarded this form of entertainment through the serene eyes-of so-cialogical research; having statistics showing a positive correlation between intelligence arid musical re vues; having studied—but as I was saying, I'm a man of few words, so will not advance further arguments but, Mr.. President, I "move that the entire revues be admitted absolutely and speedily." Rich and Sperry Faint. • Here Miss Rich and Miss Sperry fainted and Mr. Bever brought them to. "Now folks," spoke Mr. Fisher with a smile of patience and love; "I believe the problem is being settled. In other words everything will soon be hotsy totsy. But as this problem brings in ethics, I will now call upon Mr. Marquis and Miss Jones." Whereupon, up rose Mr. Marquis and Miss Jones, and holding hands in a strictly professional manner, thrilled the gathering by saying together, these beautiful and simple words—"It's Jake with us." Up Rose Ruckmick. Wild with fury rose Herbert Ruckmick and cleaving the air asunder with one swoop of an arm, and lifting a foot high in the air—but what was that—a knock—yes, decidedly, two of them—silence.

The spick and span condition of the floors and halls speaks well for the efforts of our hard working janitor force. Why not show them our appreciation by co-operating with them whenever the occasion demands. —o The Weekly Messenger has arrived. After a long period of successful growth, the Weekly Messenger has taken its rightful place as one of our leading college publications. It can continue to be~such only as long as it receives the undivided support of the students and clubs of the school. . --r Clubs have complained from time to time that they did not receive their share of publicity through the columns of the paper. To a certain extent they are right, but by and large, the fault lies with them in that they persist in electing reporters who are not trained in newswriting, reporters whose copy must always be rewritten before going to the print- ' srs. ' . . - • " : " . .. The Messenger staff would like to see a trained reporter with every club in the school, them. The Journalism classes would be glad to help Better club reporters means a better Messenger. 0 - • The Bellingham school system is greatly overcrowded. Probably no one knows this better than the. students teaching in the city schools. This condition is prevalent thruout all the schools of the city including the two high schools. The school board realizes something must be done, but what? To erect another elementary school would help relieye some of the grammar schools, but not the high schools, and to enlarge the high schools would not help the grade schools. To do both is practically out of the question. The only solution would be to erect a junior high school. This would relieve all schools in question, as it would take the seventh and eighth grades from all elementary schools and the freshmen from the high schools. We hear a great deal about the junior high schools of the state but right now there is not a real junior high in Washington, recognized as such by the state law. This is because the people and the school boards do not realize that it is more the course of study, methods, and teaching staff that makes a junior high school than it is a building. Here, then, is a chance for Bellingham to show itself as a progressive community, by having a real junior high school. This~could be done very easily, as the Normal is located here with men and- women who" understand the needs of such a school. They would be glad • and willing to help whenever their services would be required. The junior high school would be of utmost value to the Normal as there are students here who are taking third and fourth year work with the hope of teaching in a junior high school. Instead of doing their student teaching in the manner now required, they will do it in the junior high school with junior high school methods, with a junior" high school curriculum and under junior- high school, supervision. More work in this line could be offered at the Normal and this wbuld draw more students who intend to stay three and four years.

They should not think of the junior high as just a building in which the seventh, eighth and ninth grades will be moved and taught as they are now being taught. _—0 You learned a new definition of education Tuesday. Do you still know it? Then here it is: "Education is the ability to do the thing that ought to be done, at the time it ought to be done, in the way it ought to be done, whether you want to do it or not." Not so bad, is it? It requires one thing that the school cannot give: self discipline. Often there is our weakest point. If we do. not measure up we can perhaps blame heredity. We cannot blame the Normal. Montaigne said that s c h o ol should teach you how to employ your leisure rather than how to work. Sir Ernest Cassel, an Englishman who achieved wonderful success in his activities and gained considerable Wealth and power, said on his dying bed: " l a m a lonely man. Most people put too much belief in the theory that wealth brings happiness. The things that are most worth having are the things that money can't buy." The olct, trite story ain't all." And it isn't! money JWe must learn to spend as well as to earn, learn to play as well as to work. Modern educators are just beginning to realize the truth that Montaigne saw four hundred years ago, just beginning to realize that there is a social side to education, that it shall profit no man to learn how to gain fame and . fortune- and forget how to enjoy it. How many of us are, aiming straight at a single goal, straining every effort to attain a single ambition, wealth and fame? How many are leaving the fun of life till later, till the money is earned and the fame is made and all the things that can bring happiness are-stored up. ready to use? You will never use them if you d o ! It will be too late, your gold will stick.to your purse, your body to its labor.

We hear much destructive criticism of our assemblies from both the student opinion in the Messenger and from direct conversation with the students themselves. 1 feefcthat this negative attitude . is due not altogether to the type of assemblies we have, but that a part of it might be contributed to another factor which is very noticeable aV times and that is the ventilation; or rather the lack of ventilation, in our auditorium during assemblies. ... • ••.. '' As I looked around the room this morning I did not see a window open. We know that after several hundred people sit in a room for a time the air becomes impure and a change of air is necessary if we are to abide by the rules of health, also to continue to be interested in what is going on and to ward off : that drowsy feeling which comes over us from sitting in a poorly ventilated room. Since we do not have the constant circulation of fresh air during the assembly period, the results are what one would naturally expect—a general lack of interest and sensitiveness to the disagreeable atmosphere of the room. A room the size of our auditorium should receive fresh air directly front the outside and not depend upon the hall to supply the proper ventilation. -The rule which applies to the ventilation of classrooms between periods should also be made to function with the auditorium, the room being aired not only before we enter, but also there should be fresh air circulating during the entire hour. I believe the students would have a more appreciative attitude toward our assemblies if the auditorium were better ventilated-in the future. Why not try it and see what effect it will have ? —M.

But it is so, and we of the student body have to face it. Thoughout the year we have been troubled by the whispering of some girls of this student body. They go to the concerts, lectures and plays.

Harold Keeney says that he will be sadly disappointed if this does not come true. I N V I S I B LE BIFOCALS This -is the latest in glasses for the batters, who will have to hit the old pill if they are to pull thru with what is expected of them. * » « A shipment of Hydrochloric Acid has just been received at the P. E. office. Coach Sam Carver is going to use it as a rubbing ointment for his runners. This new liniment has proved to be very effective, causing the runners to snap out of it. The best Viking diamond ^outfit in years looms, as varsity turnouts begin and many well-known ball players; make their initial appearances. Daily tiirnouts are taking place on Waldo field under the supervision of Coach Keeney. ' . " Twenty men answered the first diamond call last Monday. „ Of these •the. majority, are veterans of the game. Although only four letter winners are on hand, the remainder of the men are of a calibre that will insure a winning combination. The enrollment- in school of Malon-ey, former 17.' of W. and timber league receiver, is the big development of the opening week. Maloney is a backstop of rare ability, a steady hitter1, with a good baseball temperament. '•Chuck", Cooper of .Richmond Beach, who also caught last year for the Seattle firemen in the Northwest League, is the second mitt man on line." He has a reputation as a slugger and catcher that makes him one of the biggest Viking threats. The mound staff, is in fine shape, with Eddie "Kewpie" Winegard and Don Patterson to handle the hurling. These two men will give Bellingham a pitching corps that has an excellent chance of carrying the team thru the season with an unblemished record. -v- Infield Has Good Promise. The infield, while not up to the calibre of last year's, Okerlund, Jvure, Estill, 'Keplinger combination, will be strong. 1 Bob Wiley, of Puyallup, appears to - have the first base -position cinched. He handles himself exceptionally well around the sack and looks like a timely hitter. Ray 0'- D'ell, star Viking football player and basketball -man, is scheduled %o cavort around second. Ray is known to be a heavy sticker, and should be one of the. batting leaders.y'Zeke" McClurlsen; Cecil Gray, Art Isaacson, Thorlakson and Sandberg, will fight it out for the remaining inner defense positions. Lyman Stickney and Myron Estill, two of last year's "W" men, have cinched two of the outfield jobs, with the third to be chosen from a large group of candidates headed by Don Stickney and "Heavy" Temple. A meeting with the U. of W. varsity April 16, at Seattle, will open the schedule. St. Martin's college-will be engaged Api-il 29, at Lacey, and C. P. S. the following day at Ta«oma. The Washington Frosh will furnish the" opposition May 7 at Seattle. May 14 and 21 are open, with home games hoped for, Then, on May 28, St. Martins comes here for a return engagement and the Frosh close the season here on June fourth. The following men are turning out: Cooper, Winegard,: Patterson, Wiley, Odell, McClurlsen, Gray, Isaacson, Thorlakson, Brooks, Lundberg, Estill, L. Stickney, D. Stickney, Temple and Norby. .'•' Viking tennis men have now started actual; .work,- and preparations for the. elimination are all drawn up. At the present time, there are thirteen men who have annotmced their intention of turning out, and they have been drawn places for the ladder tournament which will be going on the following three weeks, the highest participants taking the coveted positions on the tennis squad. Following is a list of the men in the order in which the'y were placed: Viking Track Stars Imbued With Spirit of Immortals as They Flit About Campus •1. Fisher. • 2 . Houlton. 3. Mock. , 4..

Thompson Huff. , Fisher had lady luck with him, when he drew first place, and indications are that to hold his place, he •will-have to go the limit, with such men as Keplinger, Robinson arid Thai on his- tail. Kellam and Houlton are two other -fine prospects, who have been displaying some very. fine tennis these days. : " ' _' Keplinger Only Veteran Ernie Iveplinger is the only letter-man back this year, but the way the other men are showing lip, he. will have a job on his hands to regain his place on the tennis squad. Up. to this time, it seems that Nelson Robinson is a sure-bet for first place, and it is only a matter of him playing up to form to win out.' He has defeated all men around the Normal •that he; has mixed with, and Bob FisKer is the only racquet wielede^ that has been able to. penetrate his defense holding him to a 6-4 set. Tri-Normal Thus far, the Tri-Normal tennis -meet is the only contest scheduled for the local talent.

The first few days however, nearly shattered these wonderful and admirable^ hopes when various ones came limping in to the training quarters- to apply linament and hot towels to sore and stiff muscles." The future two-milers, Tommy Marsden arid Talinadgc Gray, found that, accumulated weight seemed somehow a detriment to their winged feet. Speaking of winged feet, Earl Hemmi has been interviewing the English Department-to see whether or not he could obtain the' winged shoes of the Gods for a few months. Hemmi seems to remember something being said in the Odvssey about some sitch means of speed. Judging from (Kirviii Smith's hurdling, one would judge he had been practicing on fences. Gallenger, Milt Meek, and Bud Bunnell have all expressed their joyous happiness that spring has sprung by capering gleefully about the' oval in a fashion that would put the nymphs and worms to shame. Oh, yes, Cecil Gray seems to take intense interest in the elevation of himself in the eyes of the world, as is observed every evening on the field. As Gray soars gracfully upwards, the thot enters our mind how thankful are we that cows don't fly! All in all, even tho the Vikings are kind of down hearted, as Shakespeare said, "All's well that ends well." If it only ends well. s Answering the call of spring sports, 75 girls attended the sports rally Wednesday evening in the big gym. Fomia Wakin, president of the W. A.

Most Complete in World Copies Printed and Taken Home The items are copied from the board and printed, a copy being made for each., child. These copies are given to'the children as soon as they are printed and are taken home to be read to the parents. They are then brought back to school and put in folders which the children have made. At the end of the • semester the sheets ae compiled by the children into booklets which they keep for their own enjoyment. Individual Expression Developed While the activity is technically group composition it furnishes a splendid opportunity for the development of individual self-expression. Even though the child is timid in his contributions to what is going on in the class room he is usually eager to give some of his own •experiences in order that he may have personal mention in the bulletin. Other values derived from the study are limitless. They receive valuable lessons in the selection of items of the greatest degree of interest to the group. It exercises their judgement and trains them in organization. v An attitude toward reading is developed. The children are conscious of their efforts in vocabulary building and the reading they enjoy most is reading of their own composition. Parents and School Drawn Together Bringing the parents in contact with what is being done in school, through the Weekly News, is beneficial to both parents and children. Following are some examples of the items that appear each week: '"We are building a post office. We have a stamp committee a postal card committee, an envelope committee and a box committee. John, Clyde, Jack, Teddy, James, Eleanor and Carolyn are working on the box committee. They are making mail boxes." '"Carolyn has a canary bird at home. He takes a bath every morning. He-sings most of the time. He eats eggs, lettuce and seeds." ' Occasionally'. poetry is composed, either by'the group, or .individually, the theme of which is usually nature. Eileen composed a poem about a meadow lark which says: "Meadow lark, Meadow lark, Don't you hear? Now is the time to build Your nest, dear."
