To our inexpert eyes the Vikings looked pretty good out there. So don't expect us to he astonished if they come through with a Tri-Normal championship— for a change. St. Martin's tomorrow. All the Musicians Comprising the String Quartet Are Artists in Their Particular Instrument Sophs Will Consider " November 9 as Their Possible Party Date SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY -W. S. N. S.- This younger generation is disgustingly sophisticated. And their sporting instincts are blunted, too. Why, in the old days when a snipe hunt was suggested, everyone was, all a twitter before you could say "Jack Robinson". (Though, why anyone should want to say "Jack Robinson) — Yes, things have changed. We tried to promote a snipe drive the other night arid we know. I t was a beautiful night for a hunt—the mating grounds out Sunset Trail must have been literally teeming with the shy little birds when the group of sportsmen congregated at the Barbecue decided to take advantage of the salubrious conditions. The lantern and the bag were procured—arrangements for the barbecuing of the game were made with the proprietress and the party was about to set out when it was discovered that one more member was necessary to make up the party. A visit to Baughman's proved fruitless as did a tour of several of the houses. Nowhere could the additional hunter, so necessary to the success of the expedition, be found. -W. S. N. S.- Critics Abroad as Well as Here, Declare Them of the Finest of Musicians of Classic Music. Don Herold, writing about Indiana IT., in College Humor, says lt; Among other things) : "Co-education? And how! As it exists in Indiana, I think it is a fine thing for the boys and hell on the girls. Tough, however, as co-education is on the girls, it is undoubtedly civilizing on the boys. It teaches them to wash behind their ears and inculcates other important niceties and graces. At Purdue, many a student wears the same shirt without changing for four years; at Indiana, nobody wears one shirt over a year, and this comes off for a clean one for the dances". Considering the 3 to 1 ratio here, we should be getting a triple dose of civilization. At C. P. S., courses in Matriculation and Curriculum are offered to entering freshmen during the first few days of the term. No—it's not a joke. Orientation courses to acquaint the new students with the possibilities of the curriculum are given; to aid them in getting off to a good start in the right direction. Not a bad idea, is it? W. S. N. S. An unusual musical program will be offered Normal students in the regular assembly next Friday morning, October 25, when the Portland String Quartet will be offered in recital. The quartet is comprised of Susie Pennel Pipes', first violin, who spent three years of study in Berlin as a pupil of Joachim, and has also studied with Theodore Spiering, and Lawrence Skipton, second violin; Alexander Vdovin. viola, and Ferdinand Konrad, violincello. Lawrence Skipton is an Oregon-ian, and helped himself through Oregon State College by conducting the college orchestra for his tuition. He has studied with John Spargur in Seattle and with Lichtenberg in New York. . Alexander Vdovin was born in Samara, on the Volga, Russia. He began the study of the violin at nine years of age, and when ten joined a branch of the Imperial Conservatory and studied with Dober, the first graduate pupil of Leopold Auer. Two years later he became a student under Matias, who prepared him for the Petrograd conservatory. Entrance examinations to this Conservatory were very severe, but he received the highest marks from the seven judges, including Professor Auer. His stay in the, conservatory brought him in contact with Gla-zounow, Cherepnin, and especially Rezivetzoff, who developed his interest at the viola. He has played in string ensembles and symphony orchestras in many cities of the world, notably Petrograd, Samara, Shanghai, Seattle, Los Angeles, and is now with the Portland Symphony Orchestra. Ferdinand Konrad was born in Munich, Bavaria, where he received his musical education. After coming to America he traveled as a so- In a meeting, called last Wednesday noon by Arthur Gravrock, general chairman, a possible date, November 9 was set for the Sophomore party. Another meeting will be held today to settle further details.

Of the two singers who will represent Bellingham in the contest, Dorothy Walker, soprano, is a student of this institution, who won in Normal's preliminarry audition, and Harry Bajema, tenor, of Lynden will also be a representative of this city. 24 Singers Contest. The final auditions, according to announcement by Mrs. Helen Snel-ling, state chairman for the contest, will see a contest among twenty-four singers, both sexes representing Tacoma, Chehalis, Mount Vernon, Vancouver, Wash., Wenatchee, Everett, Seattle, Aberdeen, Ellensburg, Spokane, Walla Walla, Pullman, Yakima and Bellingham. Judging will be done in the finals by both a selected list of judges and the listening radio audiences. After the contests have been concluded, Mrs. Snelling will be host to a studio reception Saturday night to the contesting singers, the accompanists and the district contest chairman who attend. —. o Miss Valda Holland of Fort Worth, Texas, is the new secretary to Miss Mary E.

Preparations are well underway and it promises to be the biggest Home Coming in the history of the school. So far, all arrangements have not been seetled but one sure big feature of the day will be the football game with Ellensburg Normal, our traditional rivals, on Waldo field the afternoon of the sixteenth. Pep Rally Planned The usual big bonfire will be held the previous evening. No doubt there will be a serpentine party down town before the pep rally, after which students will return to the bonfire to meet old friends and join in the yells, songs and stunts around the fire. House decorations, with prizes for the winners, will be carried out as in other years. Dance and Banquet A banquet for Normal grads will doubtless be held " in Edens hall sometime during the course of the day. And, last but hot least, a big dance, for all students, faculty and alumni will be held at the armory the evening of the sixteenth to climax a perfect day, bidding farewell to the alumni until the next Home Coming. PRES. FISHERTEAVES He Will Attend Annual Meeting of Y. M. C. A. Council. Experts to be in Middle West for Two Weeks. The First Circuit Repertory company of the Moroni Olsen Players will open their season, October 24, at the Normal Auditorium, under the sponsorship of the Bellingham State Normal, with Bruno Frank's play, "Twelve Thousand". Theme of Play For his theme of "Twelve Thousand" Bruno Frank goes into the past, to the time of the American Revolution, and deals with the bargaining and selling , in the petty German principalities, under which thousands of German peasants were turned over to be sent to carry on the war against the revolting colonies. The whole play takes place in the Summer pavillion of the palace of a German princeling with whose minister, an English envoy, is bargaining for 12,000 peasants "on the hoof" to be uniformed and shipped to America to fight the war the English themselves found unpopular. But from this point in which the action is carried on, one can glimpse in the background the gathering, colossal figures that are to brood over the destinies of the next two-hundred years. "One is given to feel the restless stirring of English freedom under the arrogant hand of the Georges: one hears the tragic voice of the peasant chattels of the German princes 'shouting in the fields' at night: one hears the menacing clank of the already weighty saber of Prussia, which would preserve the man power to be poured into a mould of Prussia's making: and one sees the falling of the seed that had already sprung .up in Editors Declare the Student Directories Ready Next Monday Work is being rushed on the new Student Directory to have it published and ready for distribution by Monday, according to Milton O'Dell and Oren Tarbox, the managers. Finished in light blue with dark blue printing, the new directory promises to be one of the best looking and most complete the Normal has ever put out. The Directory is a complete list of all the Normal students and faculty in the school and their addresses and phone numbers. o : HEAVY RANGERS FROM ST.

We have two experienced yell leaders, they are both peppy, they work in unison satisfactorily, but—we've got a lot of second hand yells. Must we, of the Normal, simply copy the yells of the local high schools? Haven't we intellect enough to make up our own peppy cheers or aren't there enough words in the English language? One realizes that there are certain college yells that become more or less standardized and are used in all schools, however, every institution has a few individual yells made just for that school. Certainly, just because we happen to have white in our school colors, it isn't necessary to adopt another school's individual cheer. Surely, Normal offers opportunities enough to make some new yells that are a part of Normal, a few that will really become our individual cheers. It takes thought and time to make up a yell that will be suitable for a crowd of students, that will produce volume, rhythm and controlled cheering, however, with the peppy students we have here, we ought to be able to produce a real Normal yell. • If you've got an idea for a good cheer—send it into this paper, we will print it and refer it to our yell leaders—we are sure they will appreciate it.

MAY T H E Y E V E R B E GRACIOUS Almost inevitably at the first of the fall quarter, we have, in times past, found it necessary to severely criticize the conduct of students during assemblies. However, so far this quarter, we offer nothing but praise. It usually takes new students a while to accustom themselves to the cultural and gracious Normal receptions, but this.year the students seem to have accepted Normal standards immediately. Especially when the performing artist happens to unavoidably run his program over a few minutes into lunch hour, there is then a mad ungracious, impolite stampede for lunch. , It is generally accepted here that when musicians conclude their recitals, the Normal audience either encores them or in the least applauds a few seconds before rising to leave. The same with lecturers, we do not rush out just as soon as he has concluded his last sentence, but give him his due praise. In this way, Normal has come to be known as the most gracious audience on the coast, and one to which artists delight to play. We encourage the young artist, who thrives on applause, and, who can tell how many fine artists for whom the Normal audience may have been responsible for their start and self reliance. So here's to the Normal audience-and encouraging! -may they ever be kind, gracious " I t is well known that he seldom lives'frugally who lives by chance. Hope is always liberal, and they that trust her promises make little scruple of reveling today on the profits of tomorrow". " T W E L V E T H O U S A N D" "Twelve Thousand", a German playwright's creation dealing with a German culture and laid entirely in a German setting—but stirringly American in its implication—is the first offering that the First Circuit Repertory company will present under the auspices of the Bellingham State Normal. Those students who have known the Moroni Olsen Players in previous plays are eargerly looking forward to this Bruno Frank masterpiece. ' • . ! ' . - ' Moroni Olsen and our favorite, Janet Young, are cast in entirely new roles—that of two confidantes of a German princeling, whose love for their people outweigh their fear for their own lives. The play will be given next' Thursday evening, and it will be well worth every student's time to attend this production. W H A T IS T H E OUTCOME? Tomorrow afternoon at 2 : 1 5 , the Vikings meet the Rangers of "St. Martin's College. " ' Y o u Sophomores who were here last year, remember the game, between St. Martin's and Normal? Remember, it was "Chuck" Erick-son who pushed the ball over for our only touchdown? It was the only score made during the fast passing attack used by the Laceyites and in- ^ d d e n t l y the only ^touchdown made in the game, bringing the Normalites f^tne first football'victory of the season. ' ^ T o m o r r o w ' s game, from all reports, promises to be a hard fought fast ^game. We have had good attendance and spirit at the games and to- SniOTrbw-r-dp we keep the bacon or will the Rangers take it home with Ijnem?;:.^'. \ The Diary of Ole Scraag * * * Oh, diary, sweet diary—vy— here's nudder veek, Da time how she gallops and gallops so queek, I vent to a game vot dey play mit a ball, Und dey dress like in vinter mil beeg pants und all, Den somebody vistle and somebody shoot, Und den dey all wrestle und keek mit de boot.

How Ole und some von vos raring to Vent. o Training School A student in last, week's paper said this about the parking system:, —•"evidently the system is going on the rocks. Perhaps this can be blamed to the lack of knowledge on the part of the FRESHMAN but it should seem logical to anyone that there is only room for five rows of parked cars, and this only when they are parked with the plan". It also said that it would help, to paint some parking lines. Well, lines have been painted, and now there are cars parked ACROSS the lines, in the alleys, and ON the fire hydrant.. In fact, every place they are not supposed to be parked. And the worst of it is that it ISN'T the freshmen that are doing it. Members of the faculty who are old enough to know better have parked their cars in the alleys and on top of lines marking off parking spaces, in a way that is shameful. And, although there probably isn't a city in the Uniteo" States that does not prohibit parking by fire hydrants, there was one student here that drove right up onto the fire hydrant, despite the fact that a semi-circle was painted around it to show that there was to be no parking. All I have to say is that it is lucky that the head gardner is lenient, or that said student would be telling it to the judge. In fact, it is the old students and the members of the faculty, not the freshmen, who are causing most of the trouble, although it is they above all who should reform and try a little co-operation in keeping the parking orderly. —D. D. 0 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: It seems to be the way of all flesh to harbor a multitude of ideas which, if they were to be accepted by the powers that be,, would revolutionize this world and make it much more liveable. I, therefore, take this opportunity of voicing not only my own opinion but that of a large percent of the student body of this institution regarding a system of cuts. I understand that in the ,past Bellingham did grant students a certain number of cuts a quarter. Why this was done away with I have not heard. The majority of colleges and uni-veristies in this country, taking for granted the fact that the men and women who are registered with them are there for the prime purpose of improving their minds and are not to be considered on the same level with elementary school hooky addicts, look upon cutting classes as a matter resting entirely with the individual. A well-informed, conscientious AA IQ student who, because of his abilities has numerous social, civic and scholastic duties put upon him in addition to his regular work, at times finds himself so pressed for time that unless he cuts classes he must shirk his other responsibilities. And, of course, class cutting to any extent means that when the grade cards come out A's and B's become C's and D's. Why should we have our grades reduced on account of absence from class? Why, if a whole class desires to attend to other business rather ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 October 18 - Page 3 ---------- AfejiaF^^ l/A^^'^^!W!!Vf/!!^!^'^!'VS/^'lW!^ By BERT '!!Vfy-'V©'!^!!^!®«^il^! gt;^!!^fiVS/!lVKJIV Did you lose any bets on the World Series? Yes? Well at least we wont lose so many minutes of our one o'clock class now that the Series is over. Connie Mack finally, after his many years of patient striving and coaching, managed to bring his team to the top. He's a thoroughbred as well as were both teams who played in the World Series. Joe McCarthy and his Cubs seem to be taking the loss pretty hard but they realize that both teams can't win; It is too bad our little faithful Yankee manager, Miller Huggins couldn't have lived just long enough to know the Series outcome. When the St. Martin's Rangers pull into town Saturday with their hearts set to avenge the 7 to 0 defeat handed to them last season it will mean that the Vikings are up against the usual Ranger squad, a hard fighting clean lot of fellows. A smashing 19 to 0 victory over the Kitsap Athletic Club last week is a big determining factor in the estimation of the visitors. General opinion seems to be that it will be an even break between each squad to win. Coach Carver at the present time believes the Rangers will be as the above dope states, but you know how football is, you never can tell the outcome. « =? *r f IN LAST SATURDAY'S GAME THERE WAS TOO MUCH SHUH ON THE FIELD FOR THE VIKING ELEVEN TO EXPECT A VICTORY. Here's an encouraging one from Ed Cox, a former Normal student and Viking reporter: "I wish Bellingham Normal all kinds of luck in their 1929 football season!" Thanks Ed, we need all the luck we can get in tomorrow's game. I n last week's Viking there was an argument between Roy Sundstrom and Jack Gudmundson as to which one had spent the most quarters at B. S. N. S. but you need not argue any more. Ray Odell former grid star for the Vikings has been here since fall quarter of 1926 and is, at present, trying his luck at student teaching. Ray will be glad to tell you of his early experience if you make an appointment with him. * * * * Not so long ago a California critic labeled Bagshaw's squad as, "beautiful but dumb," which seems to be a very appropriate name for the mentor's squad. Last Saturday when the husky squad came running out on the field they looked both big and beautiful, but after the U. S. C. team had run down the field long distances for several touchdowns, Bagshaw's squad resembled very much the critics statement. o BELIEVE IT OR NOT— (Apologies to Ripley) But Coach Carver forbids one of his team to act like Paul Jessup. But when personally interviewed, Paul Jessup tearfully informed the reporter that his greatest ambition was to play on the Normal Squad. But all fiction books in the library are comparatively new while Piuch and other treasure books reserved for the Ed 2\ course were dog-eared from so much loving thumbing. ——^-o Physics Class Large HILLTOPPERS MET WEST SEATTLE GRID MEN LAST SATURDAY Schuh, Fratt, and Moe Stand Out as the Best Individual Stars of the Hard Fought Game; SCHUH TURNS BALANCE The Game Was Closely Contested Both Coaches Using Many Subs to Turn Score in Their Favor. Mr. H. C. Philippi's 9 o'clock class contains twenty pupils, the largest number he has ever had for the subject. As a result of the unusual interest evidenced in this study, probably a result of the increase in the percentage of men enrolled, it has been decided to .offer it every other year. The Science department will thereby alternate chemistry and physics, instead of offering a steady diet of chemistry. If, in the course of a few years, the number of men students and those working for college credit continues to increase, : physics and chemistry may be offered, in the same year. There was one Schuh too many on Waldo Field for the Vikings last Saturday, with the result that the West Seattle Athletic club won a last-minute 19 to 13 victory. The score was 13 to 12 in the Viking's favor with but two minutes to go, when Schuh made a beautiful catch of Fratt's 30-yard pass over the goal line, and put the game on ice for his team. Then just to rub it in he caught another pass from Fratt to score the try for point. Fratt and Moe Score When Fratt, the star backfield man of the West Seattle team, got away for a thirty-five yard run to a touchdown, in the early part of the last quarter, to put his team ahead 12 to 7, it looked like the game was over. But it was then that Iver Moe proved himself to be the outstanding player of the Blue and White team by stealing the ball from Eckart and running 55 yards to a touchdown, to put the Vikings back in the running again. Fratt Scores First Fratt started the scoring in the first quarter when he went through tackle and got away for a sixty-yard run to a touchdown. A place kick by Schuh failed. Soon after that the Bellingham boys got a break when one of Erick-son's passes was batted by a West Seattle player right into Shelton's arms, and the play placed the ball on the West Seattle one-yard line. Erickson put it over in the next play, and Shelton kicked goal for the try for point, giving the Vikings a one-point lead. f Miller Recovers Fumble The second and third quarters saw no scoring, but two threats were removed when Moe brought down Flanagan from behind after a 45-yard run in the second quarter, and when Miller, substitute Normal end, recovered a West Seattle fumble on his own 20-yard line in the third quarter. There was some pretty open field running by Stroud in this quarter, while the Vikings second string backfield did some good work. Both coaches were sending in many substitutes. The fourth quarter wast the big scoring period, three touchdowns being counted, while one made on a pass from Fratt to Oliver, right end. was not counted because of an offside penalty. Moe Stars Fratt and Schuh, of West Seattle, and Moe of the Vikings, took the individual honors of the game. Fratt was uncatchable in the open field and hard to get hold of through the line. Schuh and Moe played great games both as defensive and offensive ends. Erickson also turned in a good game for Bellingham with his kicking and passing. Coach Sam Carver's boys showed a pretty good brand of ball, although they were weak on passes, and couldn't seem to get their hands on the shifty West Seattle backs. • The Lineups Bellingham (13) W.

Soccer and Dancing Turn-outs Are Large; Sports Leaders Elected There is much enthusiasm among the women for the fall sports. Large turnouts for the four sports offered this quarter are looking particularly promising and it is hoped interest will not lag as the season progresses. Last Monday there were 40 out for soccer and about 45 for tap dancing. Tuesday the volley ball and hockey turnouts were not so large but not at all discouraging. The heads of the sports as were elected last year are: Soccer, Marion Norwood; volleyball, Margret Surg; hockey, Alice Babcock, and tap dancing, Margaret Shepherd! o — For 12 minutes it was a strong squad of Washington Huskies that kept the ball in the shadow of their opponent's goal but for the remaining 47 minutes it was a ferocious, plunging, shifty eleven of Howard Jones' select Southern California Trojans that turned a poor start into a triumphant 46-0 victory in Saturday's Northwest grid classic at Seattle's Stadium. For that first twelve minutes it looked as though the Seattle fans would be treated to that come-back that' was supposedly forthcoming from Bagshaw's proteges, but just as quick as the second hand on the timer's clock had started on its thirteenth cycle, the Trojans started a smashing attack that was soon good for 69 yards and which landed them on the Washington 10-yard line as the quarter ended. . Score Touchdown The Trojans slowed down somewhat from their fast pace, that was as terrific as .though 11 Helens awaited them at the end of the field, in the last half but managed to put over two scores in the* third period and one in the fourth. Once in the final canto Hufford, of Washington, scampered 15 yards across the line but was called back because one of his team-mates found it too handy to hold onto his opponents. Two Star Hill and Duffield, two fast fellows, starred in the Trojan back-field and were largely responsible for four of the winners' touchdowns. Hufford, whose tendency is to become famous, had little chance, to show his wares through the tight defense and the smashing offense of the U. S. C. team. Despite the large score, one of the largest ever made against Washington University, the game was interesting and full of thrills. The losers, although pushed about like 11 Wooden Horses, fought gamely which all went to make the game exciting as the winners had to open their mentor's as well as their own ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 October 18 - Page 4 ---------- .WASfcftkclTON S T A T E NORMAL S G H C K J U B E I ^ I N C ^ A M ^ WASHINGTON OF PHILOMATHEANS If Weather Remains Fair, Club PlEtns; Initiation Party Sunday; Scheduled from Yacht Club Dock.

ELECTION APRIL 2 Stickney and Morse Are Retiring President and Vice President of Students Association. With the advent of Spring quarter Comes March, the wind, the rain. With the advent of Spring quarter We pursue to learn, to gain All of us poor students Strive to make "the grade". And in order to get our ratings Our Co-op hills must he paid. - W. S. N. S. . We, as a n appreciative audience of' the Moroni Olsen company, should know something about this organization which is giving worthy plays to t he most scantily served section of t he United States. "Moroni Olsen, Byron Foulger, and Janet Young organized for the first time a tour in 1923 to include a few Pacific-Uorthwest- states. Today more than 60 cities in Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, British Columbia, Washington, California, and Nevada are on their itinerary.' By t he Moroni Olsen plan of booking, which • is negotiated through civic organizations only, it became possible for smaller towns to support a series of plays and to give the repertory company the benefit of shorter railroad runs. One of the most delightful aspects yto communities booking these players is the element of friendship. Audiences have come to know the actors and to watch for them in their change of roles. Personal friendships have- grown; and dinners and receptions to the players have become a part of the season's social life. Their next production at the JNormal is "What Every Woman Knows" by J. E. Barrie. Petitions on t he main bulletin boards today bear the names of Raymond Craft for president of the Student's association; Mary E. Fowler, and Ethel Boynton, as candidates for the vice presidency; and Norman Bright and Oscar Thorsen seeking representative positions. Further nominations were made from the floor a few minutes ago, when a short but spirited political rally took hold of the Associated Students as a whole. April 2 is the date for the election to be jheld preceding regula^ assembly, Tuesday. Ballots will be passed out at t h a t time. During the early part of next week consistent electioneering is expected. Handbills are in order, and the garnering of supporters for the respective candidates will also most likely take place. The main landings are open noons for speeches, brick-throwing, and mudslinging. But due to the conservativism of the political group, little of the latter will be in evidence it is hoped. Stickney Retires Don Stickney, will retire as president, having held this executive office, for two quarters. Hi? istration has been an important on-, in the world of student affairs here at Normal. It can further be said that he met. his work in a conservative and progressive manner. Stickney was well assisted by Catherine Morse who is also leaving the office of the vice presidency at this time. Both positions require, announcement on the part of t he candidate of his intention of remaining a resident student here for four subsequent quarters. The latter rule was made a part of the constitution by a big majority vote, Tuesday, March 12, when this amendment regulating board positions was passed upon by the student body. Eldred Bechtel has vacated his four-quarter office and left school this quarter. The position still has two quarters left for the candidates applying. _ o The Sea-Going party which t he Sophomores are having next Friday, April 5, in the Big Gym, promises' to be one of the biggest events of the year. Plans are already well under way and the committee is working out t he final details. Fern B. Johnson, general chairman, said that this party is going to be unusually fine as they were unable to have a party last quarter and an extra effort had been made* to put this party over. Floating Palace The Big Gym will be transformed into a floating palace with port holes, fog horns and a twelve-mile limit with a bar. Ralph Hennes' orchestra is to furnish the music for the dancing which will be held one one of the decks. Another deck is to be equipped with card tables for the passengers. The committees which have been bubbling over with ideas are: Decoration: Ruth Steele, chairman; Genevieve Evatt, Geraldine Wan-en, Ed Hunnicutt, Thad Ellis, Will Lamphere.

Jensen, Ph.D., of the Oregon State Normal, at Monmouth, and a graduate of "this school in 1912, has just published a book on "The Rural Schools of Norway," an important contribution in the field of comparative education. The increasing interest in foreign school systems shown by American educators at the present time makes this study of particular interest and value. The book is a careful and critical account of a progressive and highly ' successful educational system with particular emphasis on rural problems. It discusses the training of teachers, salaries, financial support, and curricula of the schools of Norway, and'in the final chapter,.draws comparisons between Norwegian and American/niral schools, i Mai di Garda, soprano, favored the Normal audience with a program of solos in the last assembly of the Winter quarter Friday, Mar. 15. She was accompanied at the piano by Arville Belstad. The artist sang a group of early Italian songs of which the "Aria: Ritorna Vincitor" from the opera,- "Aida" composed by the immortal Verdi, gave her the finest chance to display her dramatic ability as well as the tone quality of her voice; although "Nel Cor Pui Non", by Paisielio exhibited the plaintive tones so frequently detected in her songs The tragic melody, "Las-ciatemi Morire" by Monteverde even further showed this intonation. German Song Popular "Der Erlkonig" by Schubert, r e ceived much applause. She unerringly and melodiously interpreted the famous story of the Erlking who took away the father's beloved son, her voice bringing out the grief and tragedy of the scene. Other songs of this nation, "Lied der Mignon" also composed by Schubert, and Grieg's powerful "Mat Einem Viel-chen" both met with the approval of her audience. The sketches which she sang in English showed careful selection and placement in her program. The fancy from "Fontenelle", "The Rose and the Gardiner", by Foote, was undeniably lovely as well as "My True Love" by t he same composer and "Do Not Go My Love", by Hagemane. Nature Described Her concluding selections of three seasonal songs, "Nature mourns", ''The Joy o$ a Rose" and "Summer" gave the atmospheric feeling of nature, mingled with exquisite quality of Mai di Garda's voice. The program is the second t o be broadcasted by remote control from Station K-V-O-S Bellingham. o Women's Glee Club Florence Austral will be presented at the First Christian church, by the Bellingham- State Normal School and the Women's Music Club, Tuesday evening, April 2. This is the last program of the Musical Artist Series for this season. The noted critics have nothing but the highest praise for Florence Austral. Aura Smith of the Cincinnati Tribune says, "She is a magnificent artist, with everything a dramatic soprano needs. She has beautiful diction, abundant power, real breadth of style, and above all —brains." In the program she will be assisted by John Amadio, flutist, and Nils Nelson will accompany them at the piano. John Amadio will offer several flute solos. She will sing the ever favorite selection "Ocean! Thou Mighty Monster," from Oberon, by Weber, The complete program is well, balanced and it should prove tremendously pleasing. o Much Merriment at Social Science Party An evening of laughter and "Whoopee" was enjoyed by the Social Science club at their quarterly party Monday ' evening, March 26, in the Edens Hall club room. Much merriment occurred when the members divided into groups of five and put on stunts. One of these, a thrilling melodrama entitled "999 Stairs" held the audience by its powerful plot. You know the story—the light house keeper and his daughter, and the hero and villain who keep ascending and descending the 999 stairs till the end. Other stunts were a play called the "Problems of a Mother of a Problem Child"; and a song by the Deaf and Dumb quartet. The program consisted of a reading by Dorothy Sasse, Violin solo by Ethel Boynton and a piano duet by Jean Philippi and Margaret Morrison. Dancing and refreshments concluded/ he evening's entertainment Arrangement of the date of May 6th for the Viking Vodvil, the appointment of Barney Chichester to serve as Student Body Chairman for Campus Day, May 7th, and the appointment of Johnny Byrnes as chairman of the Rec.

Other petitions were removed intentionally, also. The by-laws of the constitution clearly state that only the secretary shall put up or take down any official notice, petition, or business which is to be bulletined for the good of the Students'. Association. Due to these last-minute acts, the names further along in the story on page one are rendered either missing, or obsolete. And as a result, the only hope to aid those losing out as candidates, is to have nominated from the floor during assembly this morning. The last minute verified names which appear on these petitions are: President—Raymond Greene. Vice President—Mary E. Fowler, Helen Fitzwater, Ethel Boynton. Two-quarter Representative—Normal Bright, Guy Springsteel. —G. W. L. YOU C A N B U R N T I M E — L A T E R! We have started a fine, new quarter that stretches indefinably into our future. At the far end there is a goal, one which we can push to the greatest heights, or drag to the lowest depths just by centering our attention on fleet-footed time and preparedness within time. The road won't be smooth; on the contrary it will be rough, unpleasant and too steep in places; but, when you come to those hopeless places climb in your airplane of Preparedness (be sure not to leave it behind when there is smooth sailing) and fly across to the smooth places beyond —and Lightheartedness and Smiles will come scurrying after. In other, less "flighty" language—it is better to prepare lessons when you have your time and play after. To conclude—here is a word of real sense—the man who wastes time in this world may have time to burn in the hereafter. 7 have never seen a happy man."—EDISON. Are men from happiness exiled— • Though they've given to Life their all? Is it only found in the heart of a child Who has never seen Shadows fall ? We wonder, we, whose eyes are gay, If, when from classmates we part Contentment will flee; and if so we pray We may always be children at heart. It is pretty generally admitted that grades are inaccurate measures of achievement at best. But, assume for a moment that they are accurate. Then, is it not ridiculous to give the same amount of credit to both "D" students and "A" students? And the fact that grades are not always true indices of the quality of the work a student has done—does that make this credit system any the less absurd? * * « We've often wondered if the Oxford system of education couldn't be adopted to include some of the best features of our own, and if this wouldn't solve most of these little difficulties. * 5* * Reading List The Wind Bloweth, Donn Byrne.

Published by Lincoln MacVeagh, The Dial Press: New York (1928). Algernon Blackwood has included in his book "The Dance of Death" six most unusual and weird short stories which are decidedly in the realm of the psychic. He creates an illusion in each of his stories that is very difficult • to throw off, and his style of writing is decidedly suited to his material. His first story, "The Dance of Death", from which the book is named, is the relation of the passage of a soul from the earth to the nether regions. It is a mere fragment of a sensation in which there is no recognized death. It is all beyond one's grasp, like a dream. Perhaps the most finished and well thought out story of the group is the second one, "A Psychical Invasion." It deals with the effect of a great mind upon a weaker. Although the owner of the great mind is dead, the hideous evil thoughts of that mind prey upon the mind of a humorous writer until his writing loses its charm and he can think of only morbid and intensely wicked things. His rescue is finally brought about through the efforts of a psycho analyist who with the aid of his cat and dog, meets and conquers the evil force. Mr. Blackwood has also registered a gentle although severe rebuke to the so-called sportsmen, who slaughter animal life for pleasure, in his last tale "The Valley of the Animals." Mr. Blackwood's writing is possessed of a certain beauty and when his theme is also beautiful his stories carry a thought tht is almost too wonderful to understand Above all his book is worth reading, for its philosophy which is a mixture of morbid and the beauti ful and his result is more than one might expect. Student Intercepts Anonymous Letter POLISH THE DIAMOND The diamond is really starting to glitter and produce sparks of genius and three-base hitters. Waldo Field's baseball diamond has been showing some embryo Babe Ruths while the mound finds some pitchers ready to defend the name Viking with performances of real skill. More than half the team will be comprised of lettermen. With this as a starter, baseball, this year, should bring the most profitable results. With pur Viking mentor putting the prospective champs through their tricks and the backing of an enthusiastic student body—why not "prospective champs?" T H E SCHOOL SONG CONTEST. Come on everyone, let's get the old brains to working and compose a school song! Besides the great satisfaction you will feel in having made such a notable conrtibution to the traditions and spirit of the school, don't forget that the winner will not go unrewarded. Prizes of $40, $20, and $10 are being offered for the three best songs contributed. By the way, we would say there is a good chance for some budding genius to enter a new song and walk away with first prize, and the contest doesn't close until April 24. A complete list of the-contest rules is tacked on the bulletin board on the main landing near the front entrance. —E. B. F. A G A I N W E A R E DISILLUSIONED! It was a bitter pill to swallow, but we can take it with a smile. Last Tuesday morning our hopes which we had dared to put so high—fell with a crash that was expereniced throughout our entire school. All because Governor Roland H. Hartley vetoed the state normal's long desired Bachelor of Arts Degree Bill. To add to our disappointment, a little over a week ago, an announcement wa's made to the effects that he had signed the bill, giving us the power to grant the A. B. Degree, but the announcement proved to be faulty. Despite this disheartening report our hopes again scored, for, had not our cherished bill passed the House by the majority vote of fifty to twenty and the Senate by a vote of thirty-four to six? However for reasons with which we had not reckoned Governor Hartley was obliged to veto the bill. : T h e Governor believed that if the normal schools were allowed this poWer, it would tend towards developement of five competing universities in this state and degrees would be granted for different courses of: study necessitating expenditure of money to equip the normal schools ^tp;prbyide for these additional courses. , CALENDAR FRIDAY—Mar. 29.

The ptiching staff which is usually about the hardest of any of the problems that a coach has to deal with, wiil be pretty well handled by Granny Thorlakson, veteran hurler, and several new men, of whom Sti-ger and Lundberg are the most promising. Infield Good The infield will have one vacancy that will need filling. Coach Jewell is looking for a shortstop to take the place left open when Mc- Clurken moved over to the third sack. Odell will in all probability hold down his old post at the keystone sack, while Occie Thorsen is back to perform around the initial post Three outfielders are back to give the new material a chance to fight for the garden posts. These three men, Clarke, Bailey, and Hamilton, are all men who have had one or more years of experience on the Viking squad. Big Problem The biggest problem of the coaches is to be found in the selection of a catcher to handle the offerings of the hurling staff. At present there are several men trying out for the position of catcher, and it is quite likely that one of them will make the grade. In the event there are none of these men able to make the grade, Coach Jewell is likely to move Teddy Clarke up to the catching berth and put someone else in the center field. So far there are only about fifteen men turning out for baseball. There are several who are not eligible to play due to the fact that their grades last quarter were not up to the standard required for participation in athletics in this school. Those turning out are: Loren Bailey, Bill Chandler, Ted Clarke, Hamilton, John Dixon, Ed Hunni-cutt, George Lundberg, McClurken, Melvin Mollen, Odell, Tom Stiger, Thorlakson, Harry Darby, Martin Pederson, Williams, and Occie Thorsen. To judge from the looks of things out there on the field, there will be a fairly well-balanced team representing the Normal this year. Schedule Arranged Following is the schedule as it has been lined up for this season. It is subject to changes, but is in the right arrangement at the present time. I April 12—Open. April 13—St. Martin's, here. April 19—Open. April 20— U. W. Varsity, Seattle. April 26—Open. April 27—U. W. Prosh, here. May 3—St. Martin's, Lacey. May 4—Centralia J. C, Centralia. May 10—Ellensburg", there. May 11—Ellensburg ,there. May 18—Centralia J. C.,.here. There will be a number of practice games that may be arranged for the open dates. One has already been arranged for with Anacortes high school for the date of April 5. _o Miss Charlotte Brigham, of the University of Washington, who is a former student of Bellingham SPRING SPORTS GET SNAPPY SENDOFF Extensive Program for W. Outlined at Sports Rally. A. A. This is the odd season of the year. The weather" is fine — for ducks. * * * * The only trouble with this time of year is that it is against the laws of man to shoot duck and against the laws of Nature to do anything else in the sport World. Especially to play baseball. * * * * The Pacific Coast League opened its ball season last Tuesday, and our season is supposed to open this afternoon, but we would rather sit around the kitchen stove and read about the games of the past * * * * Eligibility rules are keeping several fellows off the baseball team for this quarter. Fortunately there are no lettermen involved. * * * * Coach Earl Jewell is going to have his hands full this quarter. He is doing his practice teaching in the training school, as well as handling some of the P. E.. classes. * * * * Teddy Clarke says the diamond will be in shape for practice early next week. Teddy is the chief of the diamond repair gang. * * * * Tuesday night the boys held a batting contest. Clarke and Jewell battled for first place honors after each had pounded one over the grandstand from the west side of the race track. * * * 3 Neither one could repeat the feat and the day ended in a tie for the two club wielders. * * * * Coach Carver's track enthusiasts are doing light work on the oval path in a series of daily workouts. * * * * The rain does not seem to be a disturber of their play. MEETS SCHEDULED FOR CINDER SQUAD Prospects Bright for 1929; Well- Balanced Team Looms in Early Workouts. Normal, is spending the spring va cation at the home of Mrs. May Lovegren. Miss Brigham was secretary to Miss Rich during her attendance here and is helping Miss Hopper in the Appointment Bureau this week. She is a member of Alpha Xi Delta sorority at the University. o Dr. and Mrs. Irving E. Miller spent one day in Seattle during spring vacation. Neal Miller, a former student at this school and now attending the University of Washington, spent three days at Paradise Inn near Mfc. Rainier recently in company with a group of college Y. M. C. A. leaders. . Three track meets to be scheduled. Tri-Normal meet will be held at Cheney. Meets will be held at Cheney. Meets with the U. of W. Prosh and College of Puget Sound have not been definitely decided as to place and time. With the return of Earl Hemmi, a sprint star for three seasons, and Ray Jewell, a three-event man, quarter-half runner and a good shot putter, a successful season is looked forward to. Erickson Back Three other letter men are enrolled this quarter and will be a big help to build up a team. "Chuck" Erickson, who throws the javelin made a throw last year of 185-7. This throw was second best made on the Pacific Coast last year. Roy Arnett, a discus tosser, and Norman Bright, a sure point winner in the distance runs, are on hand. Bright came in the front in track last year. Last year being his first attempt at track. Large Turnout Besides the lettermen, there are several others turning out that were out last year and should prove a big help to Coach Carver. These men are Brinkman, a distance man, who won the cross-city run two years. Cox and Hamilton, sprinters and Axelson a quarter mile mai: Other men turning out are: Ray, Beckes, Chichester, Cole, Carbo-neau, Dixon, Egean, Foster, Grav-rock, Howell, Oberlatz, Owen, Marr, and Mowad. With this squad Coach Carver hopes to round out a real track team. The squad has been going through light workouts the last week, getting in shape for heavier workouts. No real dope can' be given out as to what kind of a team will be developed. Let's hope it is a championship one. —: o A beautiful painting, a Mural of Crusaders, has been completed by the Art 3 class of last quarter, under the direction of Miss Hazel Plymp-ton. Because the sixth grade was studying the Crusaders, that subject was chosen to be painted. This is a combination of the study of Art and History. In the procession are Monks, Pages and Crusaders. Illustrated books of the Junior department of the library were used to get ideas for the painting. One of the Art 3 classes this quarter is taking an imaginary trip, choosing some city of interest for a poster. These are to be made with crayons. The other class will take some beauty spot around Bellingham for their theme. Speedball Is New Sport on Program Speedball, a new game which is being added to the women's sport program, promises to be one of the most popular activities this quarter. This game, which originated in California, is being introduced by Miss Helen Dozier. Speedball is a combination of football, soccer and basketball in which forward passes and touchdowns are made as in any football game. Speedball classes are on Monday and Wednesday at 4 o'clock and all girls who are interested are urged to turn out and participate in this sport. o BIOGRAPHY This week's study of a "Blue W" wearer is found in the husky form of Loren Bailey, Ferndale youth who won his spurs on the Viking diamond squad last year. His great understanding and his powerful shoulders won him great recognition in the realm of baseball, when he began to swat the old apple all over the lot, and then began to retrieve fly balls in the outer gardens in a style that would make any veteran look twice. Bailey is back in school this spring and is counted on to add materially to the Viking diamond aggregation. The lad from Ferndale received his early training for the diamond game by chasing the cows in from the pasture, and throwing rocks at' the fish in the Nooksack river. Then for a change of exercise, he would Last night the W. A. A. held their Spring sport rally in the Big Gym. At this time the various sports were explained' and girls were urged to sign up for one or more sport. The program this season is a very extensive one and every girl in school should find an activity in which she is interested. Baseball, one of the major sports this season, is under the supervision of Miss Grace Sullivan. A great deal of interest was shown hi this activity and a large number of girls signed up for this sport which is held at 4:00 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays. New Activity Miss Helen Dozier, who is in charge of speedball, a new sport this season, reported that the girls should find this game unusually exciting as it is a combination of football, soccer and basketball. Speed-ball turnouts will come on Monday and Wednesday nights at 4:00, under the direction of Miss Sullivan. Last year a number of girJs turned out for this sport and enjoyed it immensely. Interest seems to be quite high again this year as new equipment has been purchased. Monday and Wednesday at 4:00, tennis is being conducted by Miss Sullivan. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 March 29 - Page 4 ---------- qc^BiNcrrt^ amzations Approximately. 900 Students Have Enrolled. Pre-Kegistration Found " t o be Advantageous. March 25 marked the opening of the Spring quarter for Bellingham Normal here, by t he registration of students for courses of instruction and payment of fees in the registrar's, of f ice Although accurate figures are not yet obtainable it is believed that about 900 students are in attendance this quarter. This is a slight increase over the number enrolled last^. Winter quarter due to a number of ne#-students entering. Of this about 500 are first year students, with 350 sophomores, and about 50 • upper-classmen doing advance work for third and fourth year diplomas. "'.' Pre-Registration Successful' Due to the fact that a large number of students who were in residence last quarter had taken advantage of the opportunity offered to register before vacation opened, much of the jam and rush of crowds ' of students'waiting in line was avoided; Over 500 students had registered and paid their fees, thus enabling the majority of. t he instructors to meet their classes on the'opehhig; day. This system had muchjLo commend itself for further use: and.*students in. the future- will be required to use it even more ex- »tensively than has been the custom in the past. Students, will be given an opport u n i t y to take retests in the ^achievement test in which they are ^deficient, "early next week. All .students are required to eliminate !these,requirements before they can •enter the training school in Ed. 7. ;The College Aptitude test was given ! Thursday morning at eight o'clock. r'All entering students are required to '.take both of these tests during their first quarter of residence in this school. —o— 1 Plymouth Quartet Gives Unique Recital Cleverly Interspersed : With Humor and Airiness. Presenting a program of old favorites in song, the Plymouth Quartette of the Plymouth Congregational church of Seattle, appeared here in last Tuesday's assembly. The personnel of the quartette has changed since their appearance in Bellingham last summer in that Ruth-.Ann Donlin, contralto, has 4^ken the place of Agnes Nielsen Skartvedt. The other members are Margaret. Moss Hemion, soprano; James R. Harvey, tenor, and Walter J. Reseburg, bass, with Mr. Arville BeLstad, director and pianist. Artists Humorous Airiness and rollicking humor was the spirit of the performance, lent by Mr. Harvey and Mr. Rose-burg who were accused of being audience-starved because of too much singing to invisible radio audiences by Mr. Belstad, their director. "Down . t he Raging River" and "A Hong Kong Romance" were especially well received, being of a lighter nature than some of t he other selections. - Miss Hemiori sang two solos which revealed a clear soprano voice and "Starry Night" by the Mr. Howey and Mr. Roseburg, merited much applause. Belated Program of Philo Club Is Unique The meeting of the Philo club which was postponed from the end of the winter quarter was held in the Edens Hall club room, Thursday evening, March 29, a t 7:30. As the meeting was first scheduled for March 15, an Irish program was planned because of the proximity of Saint Patrick's Day. The belated program was an especially interesting and varied one. Katherine Priese presented a paper on Irish literature which i n cluded a .summary of this broad field and surveys of t h e prominent Irish writers, both of yesterday and today. Ethel Boynton played two violin •solos: "Donegal", and the "Song of India". The third feature on the program was a book report on "The Charwoman's Daughter" formerly entitled "Mary, Mary", by James Stephens, one of the foremost modern Irish writers whose work is of a charming, whimsical style which is faintly reminiscent of t h a t of J. M. Barrie. The concluding number "of the program was an old Irish dance, th*e Irish lilt given by Mildred Kent and Mary Elizabeth Fowler. —— o COMING- ASSEMBLIES Forestry Lecturer J. L. Alexander Coming Next Tuesday; Men's and Women's Assembly Friday. When Mrs. Lovegren asked for specimen letters in her typewriting class, this is one of the gems she received: "Dear Mrs. Lovegren: "I wrote this letter a long time ago and forgot to mail it. I am the sap of my family tree and unmarried; yet. My ambition is to teach -chemistry in high school or to be president of Columbia University. "I am going to school this quarter because of monetary difficulties incurred when a doctor did some very cutting things to me. I think I'll teach next year providing I can find some children who want a nice teacher who never spanked anyone in his life. "It sure is great to be able to write so fast without the customary 'Rice Cramp'. But there are some Professor J. L. Alexander, of College of Forestry at the University of Washington, will speak on "The Natural History of the Forest," in assembly, Tuesday, April 2. This is the third lecture of the Forestry series. Friday, April 5, there will be a Women's League assembly in t he auditorium. There will be an interesting speaker. The Men's Club will'hold their meeting in room 109. President Geri will preside over the meeting and the. usual routine of business will be taken up. These meetings will tak,e the place of the regular Friday assembly. o Miss Mable Zoe Wilson, librarian, visited Miss Abby Sumner of Everett -last week. Miss Sumner was formerly a member of the faculty. Miss Pearl Reese of the library staff spent her vacation in Seattle. Miss Lillian George, library cataloguer, spent the past week at Ol-ga. Miss George reports some interesting trips on Orcas Island. Miss Elva Ringer was the guest of her family^ a t Mansfield, Wash. The McCollum House has welcomed two new girls into their house, Agnes Hageland of Seattle, and Laedya Seltzer of California. Miss Hageland formerly attended Seattle Pacific College, and Miss Seltzer the University of California. Edith Wallan is leaving for- her home in Los Angeles. On account of sickness she will be unable to complete this quarter, but she hopes to return later to finish her two-year course. "When You Move" Phone 7 0 We Feature Careful Handling Courteous Service MODELS T T ROU R C A KGI Unmarried Sap of the Family Tree Expresses His Suppressed Desires improvements that to my mind would make the situation perfect. "My first great 'suppressed desire' is that we have installed in the l i brary, either sir soundproof room for the everyday sort of typewriter, or a batch of those noiseless machines. Then I'd like to get a ribbon with vari-colored stripes running vertU cally across it. It is my opinion that this would result in pleasing colorful letters, thus relieving t he monotony of black and white. Lastly, I wish to suggest a system of chimes, to be struck by t he keys. This, I believe, would aid t he lagging memory materially, and would make the typewriter an instrument as popular as the piano. I thank you. - Sincerely, (Name withheld). Applications Sent For Life Diplomas The Normal School Life Diploma committee, composed of faculty members, has been gathering much information since the opening of the spring quarter. During the winter quarter, the committee under the chairmanship of Miss Delia Keeler sent application blanks to all graduates eligible for life diplomas. All of the applications are in, and recommendations are now being received from references. Must Show Professional Attitude. To secure a diploma, a teacher must have either graduated from the two-year course, taught three years, and attended an approved institution for ah additional quarter, or graduated from a three-year course and taught three years. The applicant must also have shown a professional attitude toward her work and must have steadily developed in ability. She must be recommended by a responsible reference, preferably a person under whom she has taught. A complete •list of those whose . applications have been approved will be available within a short time as it is now being compiled by the committee? T L Est-ce que la France vous in-teresse? Venez done a la prochaine seance du cercle francais. Ethel Hendricks, vice president of the French club, announces that the program of the next meting of the club will consist of an illustrated lecture on t h e general subject of France. The meeting will be held in room 308 next Tuesday, April 2. Any student who is interested in France or the French language is ^welcome as well ^ s people outside the student body. Ethel Hendricks assures the club t h a t she will be able to obtain more views of France to put on a similar • slide-lecture later on in t h e quarter. The Name committee .consisting of Mabel Wilson, Lavinia Alexander, and Norman Bright, will present a report and make recommendations concerning an appropriate name for the club. Guy Springsteel will present to the club his idea for a Viking Vodvil stunt. Would you not like to travel in story-book land with the sixth graders who are touring Norway? Their diary tells of leaving New Castle on the Tyre and among other places in their itinerary you will find Bergen, Oslo, and the oth er places of interest. The seventh graders are busily reading dramas in order to choose one for, production near the end of the quarter. We will watch for further developements with interest. ENGER HALL A house meeting for the purpose of organization was held March 25 at 7 o'clock. Genevieve Metcalf was re-elected president, and Marian Hillman re-elected social chairman. PPPPP

And the column what IS a column is being introduced again as "Nonnalite." ..Yep, for four lucious quarters have Nor-malites read, reread, swallowed, feared, and believed the precious journalistic dribble which is now before your eyes, and which, incidentally, flows so fluently from the pen of the writer. i You ask what happened at the INormal - by-the-Mountains-and-the- Sea during the summer session? Lots. First—nearly a thousand registered, then came a mixer, infor-onals, and the general recreation program. Secondly— the Vikings went down to the U. of W. and walked away with all athletic honors. Better still, when the big IT. came up here they did it again. These inter-school meets took in baseball .track, tennis, handball, and basketball. Next came all-school trips up Mt. Baker, and to Lake Samish. Wow! What good times we had. Topping off the summer 5 came the all-Normal field meet in which everybody from janitors to faculty participated and finally the Drama club production "K. U. R." (Rossum's' Universal Babots) won the praise and applause from the Viking audience. —W. S. N. S.— I n contrast with' the summer session the librarians will tell you how Jew use the library in t he fall quaur-ter. Believe it or not the reserve room during the summer was so overcrowded that the children's library - had to be used. Hundreds could be counted studying in the main reading room. —W. S. N. S.— Upper division students notice a great change, or rather a mixup, in offices of administration. W. S. N. S.— And to those new here it should be known that the sum of seventy dollars is to be set aside by t he Board of Control for t he best school song. A contest manager will be appointed sometime soon, and t he affair isv slated to close sometime during " t he early winter. Printed bulletins covering the details of t he all-school contest will be given all students soon. Contributions should combine the dignity and beauty of "The White and Blue" and t he pep and rythm of "Alma Mater." Many contributions are already in, as this contest was inaugurated nearly a year ago. Several eminent people of the Bellingham musical world a r e contest judges. —W. S. N. S.— And now introducing Roy Sund-strom the successor to the present author of "Normalite" and t he summer "Normalette." Mr. Sundstrom is an old time journalist, with new ideas; brilliant too, he is at times possessing the rare quality of subtly. With such a send-off the new columnist ought to come through with some pretty fine stuff—wait 'til you read that story of his. He's been saving it for a week. —W. S. N. S — For minds of intellect is "Ye Diary", which is so constructed as to challenge the wit of the majority. I t is far above the heads of the minority. —W. S. N. S.— Ye Prof's Diary Jacque thu ladee killer hoo wrytz Hooz Hoo inn thee , " kolumz shood gett an wuxtra nickel ttfur thu inflaytud 'jublisitee thiz wek.

LARGE AWARDS OFFERED Foundation's Aim Is to Discover Best Non-professional Voices in Entire United States. Six Normal students have entered the Atwater-Kent Radio Audition contest. Those entered are: Barbara Bourne, Frances Young, Waverly Carrell, Dorothy Walker, Kermit Smith and Opal Bobb. Ten scholarships and 25,000 dollars are to be awarded the winners of the contest. The first award is five thousand dollars in cash, a gold decoration, and two years conservatory tuition. Second award is three thousand dollars cash and one year's tuition. Third award is two thousand dollars in cash and one year's tuition. Fourth award is one thousand five hundred dollars in cash and one year's tuition. Fifth award is one thousand dollars cash and one year's tuition. These awards will be given in duplicate, one each for every girl winner and for every boy winner. Plan and Purpose This is the Third Annual Radio Audition for the development and reward of young singers throughout the nation. . . ^ Originated as an altruistic experiment in 1927, continued in 1928 because of popular demand, the wisdom of the Foundation's aim to discover the best young non-professional voices in the United States' and give to the singers an opportunity for further training, recognition, and reward has more than justified itself, and the Audition has become a national institution.. Dates for Contest Periods allotted for the competitions through which America's amateur singers can rise to the final awards totaling 25,000 dollars in cash, besides conservatory scholarships are: Local contests, on or before September 15; State finals, October 1-15; District finals, November 1-30; National finals, in December. Qualifications The qualifications for those who would enter the Audition are: Entrants must be between the ages of An entertainment for the incoming' Freshmen was held in the auditorium .Monday evening, with a program of musical and monologue numbers offered by the Wilustra trio, Chauncey Griffith, and Victor Hoppe.

Rather an exciting and tiresome week is the opinion most prevalent, we expect. Naturally, this registering, choosing a curriculum, taking new type tests, and getting acquainted with the school has been somewhat nerve-racking. But we will wager that after a few weeks here, during which time you have joined clubs, made new friends, attended parties, and thrown yourself whole-heartedly into the spirit of school life, you will have an entirely different attitude. Normal welcomes you Freshmen, and we hope you will learn to love and cherish our "Normal-by-the-Mountains-and-the-Sea, as we have learned to do. M. J.

This is the T H E N E W I N S T R U C T O R S — O U R COMRADES This fall brings to us several new instructors. To these teachers we extend the heartiest welcome and offers open hearts for you to step in and learn of the friendship that the other instructors and students know. Teachers, and students are comrades here in the warmest degree, and we want you for our companions too, and we will start the quarter in the best way—together. In the spirit of co-operation and understanding friendliness then, .we welcome you—new instructors." T O CLUBS A N D O R G A N I Z E D HOUSES What a week this has been! Scheduling classes, dropping this subject, taking up that, buying books, getting to know your professors and classmates. Instructors wear a frenzied expression—students—agonized, but it is practically over with now and things ought to be pretty well • settled by next week. Hard as it has been, a few clubs have started organizing for fall activities. All clubs should follow this example and form as soon as possible—an early start means a successful season. ' If fall officers have not already been elected, members should meet and do so at once—and "do not forget your reporter. Publicity is the expanding power of an organization, you know. The houses too, should plan for immediate organization—at least select your reporter as there will be a meeting of all house reporters very soon. Watch the official bulletin for further announcement. FALL F I L T E R S FOOTBALL Fall and football go hand in hand is the usual American opinion, so Normal turns once more to play the gridiron game. With only a few veterans in the line-up, Coach Sam Carver faces a problem in the development of a strong Viking squad. However, Carver has already listed some thirty prospects this season to fill the vacancies— so the problem may be partly solved. One thing, we have good coaches. Carver recently returned from a three months' study of coaching at the Leland Stanford University. His assistant this year will be R. E. Gunn, a guard on last year's team who gt;vas coach at the high school in Anacortes for five years. ; • HAIL! T H E G A N G ' S A L L H E RE After the summer of traveling, working or otherwise vacationing, doesn't it seem great to get back to school with all the old friends? We are starting a new quarter of work now, one of keen anticipation, enjoyment, and accomplishment. We have many things to look forward t°—Homecoming, the girl's informal, our fine assemblies, the Drama Club Play, parties, socials, the musical artists, dramatic productions by famous actors, "rec"' hour and all the other many joyous occasions made possible through fine executive management. Besides leading a life of unusual social activity, we can feel at the end of. this quarter, the most sought after desire—that of accomplishment, (that is, of course, if we study). So buckle down and get the best out of the happy days you spend in this institution. Now Mrs. Smith, you mustn't worry about the way little Johnnie swears. Remember: Job, cursed the day he was born.

S., are being coached by Miss Erickson instead of Sam Carver. We of this school believe we will have a mighty good football team, and it is worthy of good support Coach Carver will have to engage a traffic cop to keep some of the fellows from having collisions. Pre-season dope is very promising, but that is only characteristic of dope. A longer and harder practice season might help to win more games this. year.

Margaret Morrison, a Sophomore here and the girl's golf champion, was awarded an iron club. The donors of this gift were Dr. and Mrs. J. Reid Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Stark' ,and the Junior Girl's golf club . The championship runnerup, Eleanor Langworthy, an entering Freshman-here, was presented with a silver vase by Mrs. Adolphe Krab-be. Genevieve Warren, former student, won the first flight and received three golf balls. The runnerup in this flight, Catherine Dem-ing, won two golf balls. Hopper Uses Vacation to Further Investigation News has been received of Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment Bureau who is vacationing in New York. She sailed to New York by way of the Panama Canal, stopping in San Francisco, from where she visited the Appointment Bureaus of Berkeley and Stanford, gaining new ideas and methods to use in the. Appointment Bureau here. Miss Hopper also plans to visit the Appointment Bureau at Teacher's College, Columbia University, where she hopes to gain very helpful suggestions: IVER MOE Iver Moe, last year ietterman, came to the Vikings from the U. of W. where he played with the Frosh, making his numerals. Iver weighs 195 lbs. arid plays tackle, but this year he has been shifted to end. He was a former student of Anacortes high, playing football there. —o— PROFESSOR E.A.BOND TOURS SOUTHWEST Follows the Old Southwest Scenic Route—Entrains From Denver, and Continues Vacation in B. C. Mr. E. A. Bond, of the Mathematics department, reports an enjoyable vacation spent for the most part at the various scenic spots of the Southwest. . Mr. Bond and his family drove first to San Diego via the Redwood Forest Route; while there, they crossed the Mexican border and spent a short time in Tia Juana. From San Diego they motored through Arizona and New Mexico and up to Denver, where Mr. Bond entrained for Bellingham and his family drove to -New York. While in the Southwest the Bonds visited many places of interest including Yosemite Park, the Grand Canyon, Cliff-dwellings 'in both Arizona and New Mexico, the Petrified Forest in Arizona and the great meteor crater. Upon his return to Bellingham Mr. Bond drove with Mr. Hoppe, of the Speech department, up the Cariboo trail in British Columbia, to Lillouette, where they camped at Cayush Creek for a week. * In commenting upon his trip, Mr. Bond said that the scenery of the Cariboo Trail surpassed that of Yosemite in every way. o Genevieve Warren ,who attended the Normal last year, has entered the University of Washington as a Sophomore, and has been pledged to the Alpha Xi Delta sorority. D O N STICKHEY Don Stickney, a three-year letterman of the Viking team, came here from Bothel in 1926. Don has held down the center position for three years and is probably one of the best centers that has ever played for the Vikings. Don will act as Captain, Saturday because of his experience. —o VIKING TEAM WILL OPEN GRID SEASON Foundation of Lineup in Stickney, Moe and Erickson; Little Possibility of Predicting Tomorrow's Tilt.

Moe Shifted Moe, shifted from tackle, has the weight and charge of a defense man, while Mollan has the speed and ability to snag passes that the position needs. Sherman, of Anacortes, may break into the. line-up this week. Jones, rangy Blaine man, is out for some time with a torn muscle. "Chuck" Erickson is the mainspring behind the line so far. The men usually working with him are: Flowers, Shelton, and Ellis. These backs, averaging about 165 pounds, are all fast and' are fighters. These men are all capable in the passing and kicking department. Carlton, Iverson, Eacrett and Burich make up another good-looking combination, and Carver will porbably use them where light, fast backs . are needed. Peterson, South Bend flash, has shown up well in receiving passes and running the ball.

FACULTY HAS SIXTEEMNE^ INSTRUCTORS (Continued from Page One) FINE ORATION ; "When isa Person Educated" was the title of President C. H. Fisher's lecture, delivered in a regular assembly last Tuesday. I n this lecture President Fisher gave a n entirely new aspect of education. He first noted the difference between'education and training, saying that a trained person is one who can manipulate the mechanics -and technique in a particular field. however, one can have training and stall not be educated. Education Requirements Education requires first of all a correct usage of the English language. The fixed habits of speech so often found in students are apt ' t o get in the way of acceptable, forceful speech. "Poverty of language denotes poverty of speech" said President Fisher.% As a second point he stated that one certainly cannot be educated without a h appreciation of t h e fine arts . H e believed that this point was certainly an essential in education. Critical Thinking Stressed. Critical thinking followed by a philosophy of life were points that he stressed. After one has acquired the facts through critical thinking one must have a "philosophy of life that places facts in relationship and in this way, determines what is important or what is relatively unimportant." Fellowship Desired He asserted that one could not be educated who did not have a tolerant and charitable attitude towards his fellows, and lastly he pointed out t h a t one must prepare himself to do something of real use in the world . In closing, President Fisher remarked, t h a t one could get both education and training in this institution. o • -•COLLETT COURT Last Wednesday, Collett Court held its first House meeting during 'which Hope Ross was elected president, and Dorothy Walker was Selected social chairman. Twenty- •two members were present. Mr. and Mrs. Petry (house mother of Kom- .fort Kottage) and all t h e members of that House joined the Collett Court. Refreshments were served and Dorothy Walker, whb will sing over K-V-O-S tonight, sang a solo number. A talk was given by Mrs. Collett. . o instruction Is Given Amateur Waitresses Irene De Vries has been very active this week in t h e Dining Room of Edens Hall, instructing her eleven waitresses in the fine art of waiting tables. Miss De Vries succeeds Ortha Young as head-waitress this year, and will have four of Miss Young's girls to work with in addition to a group of new waitresses. Mrs. Houston, Home Economics instructor, is t he faculty member having charge of the Dormitory dining hall. : A faculty member at Normal for eight years, John Caskey died suddenly early in September at Portland, Oregon. Mr. John-Caskey, 60, was a member of the Normal faculty from the year 1917 ot 1925. He was the husband of Mrs. Hattie Hylton Caskey, resident of Portland, and the father of Miss Esther V. Caskey of this city; Mrs. Alice V. Shumate in North Carolina; Edward W. Caskey of Seattle, and Carl and Gordon Cas- . key of Portland, Oregon. Besides being connected for so olng with the Bellingham State Normal. Mr. Caskey was a t one time manager 'ofv t he Bellingham Business College. o — Eileen O'Rourke, secretary to Sam Ford in the Student's Co-op., is back at work again after a summer vacation spent in California.

They must never have been paid principals or featured artists .in any concert outside the boundaries of their own state, or paid principals or featured artists in any professional, theatrical or musical contracts. They must declare an intention to follow a musical career and must be free from all theatrical or musical contracts.

The service was read at 2 o'clock by Rev. James Martyn .Wilson, before a small group of relatives, at the Willows, the Taft home on Lum-mi Island. The bride .wore a frock of figured crepe de chine and carried a bouquet of Ophelia roses and orchid sweet peas. v The setting, for the ceremony was in the sun room before an archway decorated with colorful autumn foliage and standards filled with asters and dahlias. Mr. and Mrs. Burchette are both graduates of Whatcom High school and the Normal school. Mr. Burchette received his third year diploma in t h e fall of 1928. Mrs. Burchette has been attending the University of Washington. o— Poyhonen Marriage Is of Interest to Upper- Class Students Here Miss Leona Sundquist, accompanied by a friend ,spent the summer in touring the Pacific Coast. She visited such places as Crater Lake and the Oregon Caves, in Oregon, drove down the Redwood highway and continued through San Francisco and Los Angeles- to Tia Juana, Mexico. On t he return trip she went through both Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks. The one mishap of the tour occurred at Yosemite Park. While the car was parked over night, a roaming bear badly damaged the back trunk, evidently in a mere effort to satisfy his curiosity as to its contents. "Anyway," says Miss Sundquist, "he was disappointed, for the trunk was empty." She reports on the whole, an unusually pleasant and refreshing vacation. — o -— I ain't makin' no excuses, but if I'd a knowed yu wuz gonna went so soonly, I'd a came over and sawed yu off. Of interest particularly to the upperclassmen is the marriage of Claire Genevieve Dahl to Warner Poyhonen, which took place Thursday, August 29, at the home of the bride's parents in Hoquiam, Washington. Warner took his third year diploma in the summer of 1928. While here he was active in student affairs, a member of the Honorary Society, of the Rural Life club, and of the Board of Control. He was editor and business manager of the "Messenger" for several quarters during his stay at 'this school. He was also prominent in debate, representing the school in several contest debates.. Mrs. Poyhonen is also a graduate of this school. o Polly Der Leanard, secretary to President C. H .Fisher, has settled down to the routine of school administration, after an unusually pleasant month of vacationing in Alaska and California, she said this week. Miss Learnard's itinerary included thirteen days by boat to Alaska, a few hours by air from San Francisco back to Seattle. Shg returned to her duties here the first of September. ••'••'. NOTICE!: V,;- Students planning to teach Winter, Spring, or Summer quarters should make their appointments at once. Otherwise ; ..they may not be able to obtain . the necessary position to complete their graduation. *~ Miss Hazel Breakey's summer was spent in the San Francisco Bay region. Most of her time was taken up in studies at the a r t school in Berkeley, her alma mater. Ruth Buchholz, a . former secretary to President Fisher, was Miss Breakey's room-mate. During the summer vacation, Miss Delia L. Keeler, of the Education department, and Miss Augusta Pragst, of the Training school faculty, spent some time visiting with Miss Martha Dewey, who taught here in Mr. Hoppe's place three years ago.

Whether this work will become a vocation or a profession is left up to the individuals themselves. What "The White and Blue' \has left in the memories of the grads is left largely up to the grad himself also. We leave Belling-ham Normal, having seen a marvelous development in school administration, in school building, and in scholastic attainment. We leave Bellingham Normal not only technically trained for the job of instruction— but, better still, with a liberal arts foundation. And for a good many, this "foundation" will be augmented by full liberal arts course in a university as time pushes on. .-.Club activities had their place in contributing to each of the "three hundred." Inlra-mural athletics had its place in the school life of many. While a few score were able to compete for varsity honors. These two branches have been, well cared for, consequently they have flourished. But it may best be said that no one individual has dominated and controlled student life here. Rather may it be written that the spirit of whole-hearted co-operation, of responsibility, and of doing has been equally impressed on the minds of the ambitious. Under the wings of tradition a principle is revealed, "That all have a place and purpose" in this institution. It has been so; it will never be otherwise. Subconsciously and beneath all else winds the thread of school tradition, a growing thing, a thing that cannot be entirely accounted for, a thing that does the accounting. What better expression can be carried by the heart of a Viking: "—Learning truths that shall he cherished, forming f riend ships dear." And continuing on more plaintively flow the wordsS "Soon the ties must all be severed"—Then a joyous reflection that: "But they leave with you—Happy memories and best wishes for the White and Blue" -W.

PRESIDENT FISHER F J Visits Appointment Bureau of All Leading Universities and Colleges to Employ Teachers for Fall. GONE A MONTH At Columbia, Fisher Visited with Many Past and Present Faculty Members; Visits Normal Schools. President Fisher returned Friday evening May 31 from a month's trip to the East, where he visited the appointment bureaus of the larger- universities and colleges to employ teachers for next fall quarter. His first visit was at the University of California. He then went across the country to the Middle West and East, where he visited the University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, at Madison; Western Reserve University, at Cleveland, Ohio; University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University in New York City Fisher in New York "At Columbia University, I had an interesting time when I visited some of the past and present members of "our faculty. We had a luncheon at which these people were present: Messrs. Edward Arntzen, E. A. Bond, Elwood C. Davis; Misses M. Theresa Peters, Bertha M. Keller, Ruth Weythman, Tompsie Baxter, Lillian L. Stevens, and Re-fa Dick. The last three named are new teachers coming for this summer quarter. While en route, President Fisher vis'ted the various Normal schools and teachers colleges at Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cleveland, Ohio; Bowling Green, Ohio; Athens, Ohio; Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, and the Horace Mann School at the Columbia University. He received many new ideas and impressions from these schools. Great Opportunities "I am glad to get back. By comparison I think we have the greatest opportunity to develop one of the best schools of its kind in the United States In no place did I see a location for a school that equals the location of our school," said President Fisher. "My trip was very successful in every respect," said President Fisher, "We are going to have the strongest faculty next year that the school has ever had in its history." Klipsun Staff Holds • . i Annual Party Friday Night at Edens Hall General Juan Cicent Gomes, who refused the dictatorship of Venezuela after a term of twenty years found himself again in action. He accepted the position of commander- in-chief of the army. Members of the "Klipsun" staff enjoyed a banquet in the Edens Hall club room, Friday evening, May 31. The meal was prepared by Miss Gertrude Longley and her home economics staff. During the dinner, the first two copies of the 1929 annual were passed around the table. Following the dinner, the staff and invited guests enjoyed dancing in one end of the main dining room, closed off and decorated with red and white spring flowers. Ten floor lamps cast a soft glow on the dancers and the three-piece orchestra under the direction of Lawrence Stark. Dorothy Sasse arranged the party. The patrons and patronesses were Miss Hazel Breakey, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Fowler and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Breakey, and Mr. Fowler were art and editorial advisors of the "Klipsun". o ANDERSON ELECTED VIKING EDITOR AGAIN Ben Hamilton Was Chosen Business Manager for Summer Quarter; Will Succeed Chichester. New Klipsun Is Annual Of Which Student Body Is Justly Proud The 1929 "Klipsun" issued to the students last Monday, is an annual well representative of the school. Under the editorship of Naomi Chase, a book has been assembled of which the' Normal student body may well be proud. The photography was done by Jukes of Bellingham, the engraving by the Western Engraving Company of Seattle, and the printing' and assembling by the Union Printing Company of Bellingham. ' _ • • • • The leather cover is dark brown in color and is attractively worked but in the emblem of the school— a Viking ship. The inside of the cover is finished in a dark green. At the beginning of each section is a three-color insert in a green tone' with a gray border. Administrative Division The first division is "Administration". It contains individual photo-graps of the faculty, the library staff, and the office force, and also two full page picures of the new library interior. The section devoted to classes begins with an illustration of the library taken at night. It contains 350 individual pictures that have been artistically mounted on gray cardboard making a suitable border for the mounts. Coach Sam Carver was allowed to interpret the points won in the Tri- Normal relay, when he asked for that right at the regular Monday meeting of the Board of Control, June 3. The group also unanimously gave the editorship of the Northwest Viking to Dolly Anderson- who will begin her second quarter's work in that capacity next Monday. Ben Hamilton was made business manager, taking the place of Barney Chichester, former editor and business manager. Three other applicants were in line for the position of business manager: Mark Jarrett, Bob Waters and Gordon Leen. John Mowoad is the new secretary of the Board of Control, succeeding Roy S. Arnett, who has held that position for seven consecutive quarters. o Booman Re-Eected as Alumni President Young Scribe Writes Lengthy Trip Story "Wonderful!" That's' what all the members of the International Relations club who went on the Memorial day trip to Vancouver. British Columbia, have to say about the trip. They all declared that it was a real inspiration and a thoroughly enjoyable day. A visit to the University of British Columbia, lunch at Stanley park, the sights of Vancouver and the view from the roof garden of the Hotel Vancouver, a banquet with the International Society of Vancouver and British Columbia, and the thrills of the famous Giant Dipper, made up a day that will not be soon forgotten by any of the internationally minded Normal school folk who made the trip. A The University is located on a campus of 500 acres on the tip of a peninsula, about eight miles from the city of Vancouver. The university was riot in session, so that our international group had no chance to get acquainted with many Canadian students, but it gave them an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the place without being in any- The new officers of the Alumni Association which were elected at the annual banquet held June 1, at Edens Hall are as follows: President—Mr Albert Booman. .Vice Pres.—Mr. Bryan Hankins. Secy-Treas.—Miss Georgia Gragg. Mr Booman, who was re-elected is a principal at Lynden. Mr. Hankins was graduated in 1927, and probably will be remembered by his participation in school affairs while attending Normal. He is now teaching in Grays Hai'bor. Miss Gragg is a penmanship teacher here. o Switzerland temperance organizations with the weapons of propaganda and emotional appeal attempted to force prohibition down the throat of the said country. They suffered a drastic defeat in the hands of the voters of Switzerland. o I n the student organization section may be found illustrations and short write-ups of the various publications of the school, plays that have been presented by the Drama Club during the school year, and the various student organizations. Nineteen clubs are represented in this section An unusual feature of the book is the three page section devoted to the training school. Following comes the "School Life" division, well illustrated and representative of the fine spirit of the school. Athletic Section Large The athletic section contains fifty photographs. There are many action pictures illustrating both the men's and women's sports. The society division closes the book. It contains write-ups of the various class affairs, inside and outside girls' inf ormals, Womens' Athletic Association, and Women's League parties, Homecoming, Recreation Hour, Men's Club Dance, and the various receptions. The 1929 annual is a book that will forever keep alive this school year in the hearts of the students who have enjoyed it. For this reason the staff is to be complimented on the completion of this year's "Klipsun".

Are you tired and nervous?—To finish that up, one should ordinarily say, "then take some of so and so's pills or tonic, but this time, a quick remedy is not in order. If you do feel like the "before" part of a medical advertisement, it is most likely because you have either worked hard and have taken no recreational moments, or have simply worried about the work and have wandered restlessly about trying to find some way to avoid the work, the latter opinion is true in the cases of many of us, and that group is the most run down and tired. A good remedy for this feeling would be play. The next few vacation days, for those intending to continue here in the summer quarter, should be filled with hours of good, healthful, hard, outdoor play. And the next quarter you attend school it would be a good idea (or perhaps an ideal) to forget to worry and instead of seeking to avoid the work, go after it immediately—and then play, but that condition will never be realized—students will continue to play first, and then worry about being rushed with piled up work, it's human nature—so why worry abjout it? \ C ^ H i r i G T O N ^ T^HINGTON BY Tennis was introduced into England in the thirteenth century.

The Associated Press recently flashed some interesting words up and down the Pacific Coast about one of our former students—a student whom we Sophomores and upper-classmen love as a companion and a classmate. It is none other than Ellsworth Lumley. He has been noticed in his studies of birds. Ellsworth has earned the distinction of being one of the earliest risers on the campus at the University of Washington. The earliest ones are his friends, as all know, the birds. Scientifically and with a sensitive ear, is he attempting to find out just why birds sing. To do this it takes an extremely early riser, and our old friend Ellsworth can be seen out on the Washington campus at 2 : 3 0 in the morning listening and noting the .chirps and twitterings of his feathery subjects. He is a major in ornithology at the U. It is an easy matter to prophecy; it is something else to expend the patience and care in an exhaustive study queer to us all—when thought of as a life work. But those of us who know Ellsworth and know of his work can readily prophecy that he will make a real name for himself in his branch of science iri; the dawning future. I W.

Now that the Viking athletic sea son is over for this year, it might be well to look ahead a little, toward the prospects, for next year. The outlook for the fall season is rather poor just at the present time. There will be only two lettermen back to use as a nucleus for a grid machine. Chuck Erickson, two-year letterman, who has won fame in the Viking backfield, will return. Chuck is a very capable man, and will be a big help in the forming of the 1929 backfield. He can run, pass and kick, with equal ability. The other lettermen to be back s Don Stickney, hard-working center, who has the distinction of going through two consecutive seasons without losing a minute of play. Other men who are expected back are Iver Moe, huge Viking tackle last season, John Cather, another husky lineman from the team last year These two men are not • certain of returning, but in the event that they do return, there will be a big load off the minds of the coaches, for these two huskies can fill some mighty large • holes in the line. One man who has had a little experience at the end position, and who was out last season, is Melvin Mollen. Mollen was not given a chance to show what he could do in a regular game, but in the practice season he gave promise of being a hard man to handle, Another, lineman who showed promise last season is Art Grav-rock, and it is expected that he will be back to help out. in the line again this year. There is just one more letterman who will be back to help out in football. This man will not, however, be here as a player, but will . act in the capacity of assistant coach. Royal "Pop" Gunn, will be in the position of Mr. Jewell, who has rendered valuable service to school during the past two years. Mr Gunn comes here well qualified to handle the position of assistant coach. He has for several seasons directed the athletics of high school teams, and has been an active participant in athletics all his life. Though the present indications are not pointing to a good team next fall ,it is hoped that the matriculation of a number of new men will swell the ranks of grid men, and make a brilliant season.

With the close of the spring quarter and the beginning of the summer session we are going to have a change in athletics Mr. El-wood Davis, who had charge of the physical education and athletics during the summer of 1927 at this institution, will be here again this summer. Mr. Davis will have charge of men's, athletics, and a fine schedule has been arranged. There will be intramural competition in handball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball and baseball. The first half of the quarter will be taken up with basketball, while the second half will embrace baseball as the major activities. As usual there will probably be a couple of baseball games between this school and the University of Washington. These, coupled with the annual track and field meet between the married and the single , men, will help to keep the athletic enthuiasts busy It seems that the married men have yet to defeat the single men, and each year the feeling gets greater and greater. In all, a busy summer athletic season ••/is; expected. ;::-\;-VV;v'";;::/.'/....;v':;,. "NOW THE YEAR IS QVER, THE QUARTER IS DYING FAST." SO HERE IS JUST A HURRIED R E V I E W ' OF THE YEAR'S SPORTS. First there was football. The Vikings won only one game out of six played. There was a tough schedule and the boys failed to get the breaks. # :J if * Then came the winter quarter and basketball. During a schedule of twelve games, the Vikings lost only four and Won eight. They dropped two to Ellensburg, and two to the Frosh. if * : gt; * With the advent of spring, baseball and track appeared the Vikings were represented at the University of Washington Relay Carnival, but failed to do much. Then the cinder men locked horns with the Frosh, who downed them by a large score. Next there was the College of Puget Sound, and the Vikings were barely nosed out in the final minutes of the meet. Following the C. P. S. meet, the fellows went to Cheney for the tri- Normal meet. There the fellows proceeded to pull a sleeper on the rest of the world and walked away with the championship. Baseball season Was not a very brilliant affair in so far as the Vikings Were concerned, but it, like football, Was a lough schedule, and was badly broken up by inclement weather. Intra-mural sports showed a decided popularity among the boys of the school. During the winter quarter the teams were scrapping tooth and nail for the leadership of the intra-mural basketball league. In the end the Kitchen Krew copped the title, with the Men's club as runner-up. THE MEN'S CLUB WON THE INTRA-MURAL TITLE IN BASEBALL, BY WINNING SIX OUT OF EIGHT GAMES PLAYED. The upper classmen won the inter- class track meet in a walkaway, as Coach Carver tried to uncover some new material for his squad. The intra-mural tennis. title has not yet been decided, but there Were several men right close to the top, and the title race has been hard fought from beginning to end. * * * Jewell and McCartin, school horseshoe champs were out of the running this year, and as a consequence there has been little interest aroused in the famous barnyard game. Handball has had few followers this season, and there has been no tournament in that sport for Earl Jewell to win. * * * * . ' ON THE WHOLE, THE SPORTS FOR 1928-29 HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL FROM THE STANDP O I N T OF PARTICIPATION, THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN ONLY ONE TRI-NORMAL TITLE DRAWN INTO THE VIKING TROPHY HALL.

THE GIRLS SPORTS TURNOUT WAS CLIMAXED LAST SATURDAY, JUNE 1, BY A PLAY-DAY AND THE W. A. A. BANQUET. A GREAT MANY GIRLS HAVE TURNED OUT FOR THE MANY DIFFERENT SPORTS OFFERED AND THE SEASON HAS BEEN A SUCCESS. IS MOST EFFECTIVE The Freshmen walked away with most of the honors this quarter, capturing the archery, tennis and speedball titles. The sophomores play well and held the Frosh down in baseball. We wish to thank Miss Sullivan and Miss Dozier, our coaches, for turning out every night with us and making it possible for us to have such a successful program of activities. Baseball "The best baseball game Fve ever seen played" was the statement made by Miss Grace Sullivan, concerning . the last inter-class game played between the Sophs and the Frosh. The score stood a tie all through the game until the last inning when the Sophs led by one point. The playing was good all the Way through the game and no one got to first base when the ball Was hit infield. There Were few errors. Irene Sargent caught three flies in one inning, Arlene Jo-hanson pitched a good game and Bernice Johnson Was good on ihe catching end; all three Were outstanding in the game. The all-star team is Bernice and Beatrice Johnson, Dot Sollie, Lou Austin, Marg CoVenton, Flo Goodman, Marg Jenkins, Irene, Mary and Kate Foster. Archery ' The Freshmen defeated the Sophomores by a score 74-49. The all-star team in archery is Mary Beth Parkhurst and Helen Reed. Was and Tennis The last game in tennis played between the Sophs Frosh Monday, the Frosh winning the doubles 6-1 and 8-6. Louis-ette Bergeron and Bernice Gnagey playing for the Freshmen and Evelyn Crow and Naomi Chase for the Sophomores. The all-star team consists of Bernice Johnson and Louisette Bergeron. Speedball To say the least the girls deserve a lot of credit for turning out for speedball, tackling a new sport, and they certainly showed their sportsmanship the way they played. Between trying to keep an eye on the ball and hitting mosquitoes the Freshmen won the last game from the Sophomores by two points. A hard battle was fought by both teams, he Sophs being in the lead until the last second of the game when a field goal was made and won for the Frosh. Monday the "Coventon Kids" and the "Yellow Peril" played their last intra-mural game, the "Yellow Peril" winning by one point. The Coventon Kids staged a big battle keeping the score ahead until the last quarter of. the game. Despite the fact that they played four short and in the last part five short, they played a winning game all the way through until almost the end. Brooks and Goodman were high point women., Those making the all-star team are Joyce Arnold, Lou Austin, Alee Babcock, Flo Goodman, Mary Jenkins, Beatrice Johnson, Margaret and Marion Norwood, Lois Slater, Dot Sollie and Betty Taylor.

STUDENTS USE STACKS Beginning with this summer quarter the library will be organized under a rather unusual system. The shelving oi t he books in t h e general reading room is the work of two y e a r s o f extensive study. ' Only tx»ks~ which meet the curriculum needs of t h e schools will be left on the shelves in this room. The direct advantage of this system to student is that they can work with a minimum amount of effort:to'find materials needed for daily class work. Auxiliary System I n order to put this system across it was necessary to work out an auxiliary system which has as many charge divisions as there are members of the faculty. Books which are not actively used in the curriculum are placed on the stacks which are available to all students. All other libraries allow special or post graduate students to use t h e stacks, but the use of the stacks by all students is a new plan which is being worked out • by Miss Mable Wilson and her staff. o THE CEDARS Marie Holzer and Prances Jor-don spent the week-end at their nomes in Blaine. Carol Howe, Palma Solberg and Vera Pox were the dinner guests oi Elizabeth Johnson Sunday. Levia Kinsley motored to Vancouver Memorial day spending the week-end at home.

Training School YOUNG SCRIBE WRITES LENGTHY TRIP STORY (Continued from Page One) tody's way. Mr. John Ridington, the librarian, recounted the history of the college, some of which was more exciting than you'd think for, and sketched the development that is planned for t he university for t he next few generations. "Most universities," said Mr. Ridington, "are like Topsy, 'they just growed.' This one was artistically planned for in advance." The university will eventually be built on the plan of a series of quads. The present buildings are finished in concrete instead of in granite where the later additions will be put on. Mr. Ridington conducted the group through the museum and library. The reading rooms are well lighted and beautifully dignified^ in appearance. This library is especially rich "in the publications of scholarly societies, ; and in the scholarly periodicals, some running back into the early part of the Eighteenth century. Among the reasures of the library are photographic copies of the four folios of Shakespeare and another of the works of Chaucer. Stanley Park Visited Leaving the university, the group drove to Stanley park where they enjoyed a picnic luncheon. It is in Stanley park that the Kiwanis club memorial to President Harding is found. Harding, the first president to visit Canada, spoke in Vancouver a few days before he died. A paragraph from this speech is carved on the memorial at Stanley park. It deserves to be read by every literate person who visits Vancouver. During the interval between the luncheon and the banquet at the Terminal City club, some of the members took the elevator to the roof garden of the Hotel Vancouver where they looked down at Canada's western gateway. There is a splendid view all over the city from this place. At 5 o'clock the International Relations club met the International Society of Vancouver and British Columbia at the Terminal City club, and were entertained at a banquet. The International Society is a group of educated people of all the nationalities that are found in British Columbia, who meet together socially and who are trying to diminish as much as possible the interracial and international prejudices and friction which may exist. Mrs. McCay, president of the International society, welcomed the International Relations club from Bellingham Normal, and expressed their.earnest wish to work with the Bellingham organization in fostering a spirit of international understanding, goodwill, and co-operation. Plan Explained Mr. Defeaux explained the purpose of the International society and how i t is working. The plan t h i s y e a r is for each national group to give an entertainment of its own national; type to which the Mother nationalities are invited. The Japanese group has. recently put on a very successful one and another group is now preparing one of its own. Mr. Defeaux expressed the hope that the International Relations club, would be able to come to many of the entertainments of his society, especially the annual ball to be held next winter. Mr. Munn is the next year's student body president at U. B. C. He is also a member of the International club a t the university, a student organization similar in structure and function to the city International club. He spoke very cordially, extending good will and good wishes to* the American young people. Dr. Lyle Telford, a former president of the International club, was the third Canadian speaker. He spoke eloquently, expressing the absolute necessity of international concord for the sake of worldwide peace and happiness. Speakers Introduced Guy Springsteel introduced the speakers from Bellingham, Rose Brown and Hamilton Church. Rose explained the origin and ideals of the International Relations club, and briefly told how it works. Church expressed the earnest desire of the Bellingham organization for a real and lasting peace all over the world, and declared that it could be achieved only through tolerance, generosity and self-control. It is notable that the attitude both of students and general public in Canada toward military training is much more admirable than that in the United States. In this country students are prone to acquiesce in the imposition of R. O. T. C. for the sake of the financial saving it permits, and also because they are too -timid to object; at U. B. C. when the provincial legislature tried to introduce the O. T. C, as it is called in Canada, the students did not hesitate to vote it down about six to one, and to keep up the protest when drill was made elective. After the banquet some of the Bellingham students went to the Hotel Vancouver to continue the discussion, while others went out to Hastings park to play around. Several students found out what thrills are on the various rides. Gordon Leen went on the Giant Dipper twice! Members of the International Relations club who made the trip were Miss Cummins, Ethel Hen-, dricks, Rose Brown, Mrs. Finley, Maurine Lindh, Guy Springsteel, Hamilton Church, Gordon Leen and Phil Da vs. Visitors* who went along were Mrs. Cummins, Dorothy Rutherford, James Prendergast and Bob Waters. I n the regular training school assembly on Friday, May 24, the first grades presented a play in three parts, dealing with their indoor garden activities. The first act dealt with the garden calendar, booklets of directions for planting and r e ports of seed experiments. In the second act the children hoed, raked and spaded to the music of a song that they had written themselves, and t he last act was t he dramatization to music of the poem, "Fairies in the Garden," by Rose Fyleman. Rabbits, butterflies, bees, fairies, and elf-men were characterized by the children in songs and dances. One of the poems was of the pupils' own creation. "The Password," a one-act play, was presented by the seventh grade Drama club, in the regular training school assembly, last Friday morning at 9 o'clock. In the play, the children set back the time to fool the professor, and Father Time turns the professor into a baby, thereby causing much confusion before he is turned back into his proper self. Students taking part in the production were Kirk Fletcher, Cecilia Basbet, Margaret Collett, Mary Burnett, Dick Carver, Charles Fisher, Neil Richardson, Cleoe En-loe and Mary Ward. Sherwood Edwards was the stage manager. o SUNSET LODGE NOTES Last week-end Ruth Gloyd entertained Clyde Finley, of Centralia. Evelyn Severson visited. Paulsbo, where she attended the Senior ball. Helen Neilson spent the week-end in Seattle with, friends and relatives. Beverly McKibbon, who is a former resident of this house, drove up from Olympia for the Alumni banquet on Saturday. Saturday afternoon Myrtle Linne and friends motored to Vancouver where they visited the Zoological gardens. o ENGER HALL Miss Sophie Walin, of Isaquah, Wash., a graduate of Bellingham Normal, is a guest at Enger hall. Harry Richmond, of Ryderwood, called on Marian Netter, Sunday. Elizabeth Church spent Thursday in Seattle. An all-house picnic was held at Whatcom Falls park on Thursday. A splendid time was had by all. o TERRACE HOUSE Miss Rhoda Sumey was a guest of Mildred PPPPP

"Out of one hundred University of Cincinnati students who recently took a special examination composed of questions which had no answer, half of them bluffed 46.58 per cent or more. Some bluffed their Way through 81 per cent of the examinations, which asked for fictitious Word definitions, authors of unwritten books, and identification of certain alleged passages in Shakespeare. The same examination, given to fifty-eight non-college men and Women chosen at random, showed that the bluffing score of this group was only 26 per cent. This leads a well-known writer to declare that ''our educational system trains to dishonesty and pretentiousness . .

Assisting the president,, Raymond West '24, in the. plans for the occasion are the vice-president, John, Alsip .'28, the secretary, Margaret Alleman '25, the treasurer. Norma Huseby '23, the program chairman, Roy Hanson '15, the dance chairman, Douglas Tilton '24, and publicity director, Alice Conklin '24. Special effort has been made to make the program interesting and varied. All of the numbers will be given by Lincoln Alumni many of whom, as is well known, are exceptionally talented _ j lo ON JANUARY 6,30 Entering Freshmen Must Report to Smith or Breakey for Their Instructions for Registration. CLASSES BEGIN MONDAY Transfer Students Must Meet Bever's Office for Evaluation Credits Before Registering. ACHIEVEMENT TEST New List Constructed by Upshall and Masters Has Words Most Used and Most Misspelled. DIFFERENT FORMS MADE Dr. C. C. Upshall and Dr. Harry V. Masters, of the Bureau of Research are now constructing a new achievement test in spelling. A number of diferent forms of the test, all of equal difficulty, will be made Two factors are being taken into account in constructing these tests: First, the frequency of occurrence of the word in writing; and, second, the difficulty with which the words are correctly spelled by high' school seniors. Exhaustive Study In securing a measure of the frequency of use of the words in writing, use has been made of a very exhaustive study conducted by Dr. Ernest Horn in which he tabulated the words which occurred in over 5,000,000 words written in business letters, personal letters, letters of application and recommendation and other similar material. This study gives us a very accurate measure of the usefulness of words. Difficulty Measured A measure of difficulty has been secured for certain of the words contained in the above study. More than 1,000 high school seniors were asked to spell a selected list of several hundred of these words. From these attempted spellings, the per cent of correct spellings was determined for each word. The accuracy with which high school seniors spell these words gives a rather accurate measurement of the difficulty which the words present to students entering Normal school. One form of these new tests was used on December 3, when retests were given. The additional forms will be completed in the near future. ILLSBURFDELIVERS Registration for the winter quarter will take place January 6, 1930, and all students who have not pre-registered are requested to complete this on the above date. There are about two hundred who have not already taken' advantage of the pre registration. Entering freshmen will report to Mr. Harold. Smith and Miss Hazel Breakey in room 120, where they will get their instructions for registering Students transferring from other "institutions will report to Dean James Bever's .office for evaluation of credits. Transfer students who have had their credits adjusted at the Dean's office, and all old students will report to room 105 for an assignment to an advisor. Classes Begin Monday It is important that students, who completed their registration, go to their classes or they will be counted absent beginning January 6, 1930. Beginning freshmen classes will not meet, however, or be made up of freshmen who have not yet enrolled, and the instructors for these classes will be helping with registratin. The classes which will not meet Monday, January 6, 1930, are: Education and T. T. 7a, both at 9:00; Science la, Music 2, and Economics 101, all at 8:00; History l a at 10:00; and English l a at 2:00.

The room was attractively decorated with tinseled Christmas trees, and illuminated solely by lighted tapers. Miss Hazel Jean Plympton and Miss Georgie P. Gragg poured, while Orleane Fitcha, Helen McNeil, Joyce Arnold, and Dorothy Stevenson, four mmbers of the music class-, es, assisted v/ith the serving. All the guests gathered in an informal group after the tea and sang Cb/istmas carols. There was also victrola music of a sort appropriate to a Christmas tea. STANLETSMiTH IS H U N .

"If there b!e one day in the calendar more than any other which bears witness to the spirit of joy at the foundation of Christianity, it is surely that of Christmas. "Christmas comes to us reminiscent of our childhood's days, when the world was young, and everything went very well, and Santa Claus was near, and dear, and real. " I t is our yearly rejuvenation, our annual reminder of those days when all was golden and rosy and transfigured in an ideal reality that no experience can improve and no learning make more glorious. "The happy custom of serving the little ones inspires us to carry our service further. We give to each other and delight in an unconscious make-believe. It is the time when old ladies talk of dances and merrymakings of long ago and of the Johns and Charlies who kissed them under the mistletoe at the Christmas of long ago. And.the now bald-headed and ruddy-faced Johns and Charlies, dig each other in the ribs and remind one another of the pretty girls they also kissed under the mistletoe on that Christmas, long ago. " 'O, most illustrious of the days of time!' a poet once apostrophized Christmas Day. Illustrious in that it is the day of the rebirth of our real selves; of the quickening in us of that spirit which is our most splendid possession for this earthly life and our profoundest assurance of divine grace".—Temple Scott. "I'm gonna try something new", Blue eyes sparkling just below my desk. "Don't do it, Carl", a husky pessimistic voice advises. * * •• gt; •• gt; And it's that way the world over- It's always the fellow who says "Don't do it, Carl" at our shoulder that makes us skeptical of our chances to do something big. This world of childhood is such a lovely place. Filled with eyes—bits of the skies—and cheeks a glimpse of a rose garden after a rain and hail —sheaves of autumn grain and the dusky wings of winter ravens. Life is loo big for some of us.. Life is not what you make it. Life is here and she molds us and shapes our Hoes at her own will. If we are made of the right sort of stuff, Life is good for us. But if not, she twists us into grotesque shapes. * * * * I have met folks who were made of putty and folks who were made of a sterner stuff. Some of gold and bronze. IT WAS RAINING AND I PELT A HAND ON MY SHOULDER—A SHOULDER THAT WAS WEARY OF BEING .HELD ERECT—AND I TURNED TO LOOK, INTO - THE EYES OF A FRIEND. THEN I FOUND MYSELF "SINGING IN THE RAIN". When the day is darkest and the fog begins to close about us, just the touch of a friend's hand is all we need to bring a smile. We went up a long country lane and at the end of the lane we found a woman who lives for beau-ty- She told us that we might explore her rustic haunts, her pools, garden, and her birds. * * * * The wind kissed the pool and disturbed the musing, green moss on its surface. A lingering leaf fell from a mirrored cherry tree and sailed along on the surface of the pool like a feathery canoe. * * * * And we could hear a seng of a golden canary over the way from the distant bird house. iijnHniHiniinnimiiHHnnimHimanHiinfliiamHiiHiiiniiiiiii « s You Like It gt;9 F I V E - Y E A R T E A C H E R T R A I N I NG The five-year plan, recently adopted by the University of Cincinnati is of interest to Washington educators because of the recent action of the State Board of Education and because of the widespread discussion in the state relative to what the fifth year of teacher training should include. The College of Education of the University of Cincinnati operates as a professional college within the University, maintaining a three-year professional program based upon a two-year liberal arts prerequisite. All teacher training courses, general and specific are restricted to the junior year and beyond. In general,' the last work of the first two years is of the liberal arts character and the last three years professional. S T U D E N T F O R UM Students who enjoy controversy for a constructive end, and who like to exchange opinions with regard to ethical and religious problems, do themselves an injustice when they do not attend the Student Forum discussions at the Y. W. C. A. rooms every Sunday evening. Students will, find Rev. Dwight Smith both liberal and sympathetic, and whatever views are held are given attentive consideration at these young people's meetings. Student Opinion Forgive me for breaking into print twice in the same issue, but something came up that I just can't keep silent about, for how any student-body could be so dead as to fail to applaud our president after an vad-dress like the one he gave Tuesday morning, December 10, is more than I can understand. We should have applauded till that auditorium rang! It isn't every school that has : a president like ours, who is as forward looking and as capable and as well able to express himself, and on the MERITS .of •''that talk alone he should 'have been applauded. Besides that, where are our manners? Do we just bring them out and dust them; off when company comes? iCan we:riot show; our president at fieast;\as much courtesy:-'as we'ac- '0or [(the;;most mediocre of visiting artists? I did try to show my appreciation, but it was drowned amid the shuffle of hurrying feet, and I doubt if our president knew that even, so much as one student registered a single iota of appreciation. —E. B. F. December's chrysanthemums were burning orange like a lighthouse torch where the paths branched. The "lady of rustic" told us we might help ourselves to flowers, but we couldn't because we felt we didn't belong. We were the interloper. The birds wouldn't sing when: we came near, so what right did we have to disturb the flowers. * * * * And when We left she asked us to return in the spring. * * * * We went home and dreamed of how that cherry tree would look ever that pool in May. How snowy petals would float in drifting dreaminess over that surface. / —o D E P A R T M E N T OF E N G L I S H L I T E R A T U RE "I'd rather be a could-be If I could not be an are, For a could-be is a may-be, v With a chance of touching par.

Griffith, commissioner _of athletics, in the Big Ten, and Earl Campbell, Husky graduate manager. Griffith is to be in Palo Alto on December 28, to referee the Stanford- Army game, while Campbell is in the south completing the 1930 grid schedule. Phelan, who is coaching the Mid- West team for its game with the South, in Dallas on January 1, will arrive in San Francisco about t h e ' t h i rd to join the other two and the trio will come north together. The Irish Husky coach plans to spend a month in Seattle meeting the prospective members of next year's squad, looking over the field, examining equipment and finding a home for himself. As soon as he completes his task, Pheland will return to the Middle- West for his wife and two daughters.

It seems as though the graduate managers take great pride in putting a severe test to the coach the firjst year. After guiding the Purdue squad to the championship, the graduate manager feels he is able to turn out a team to equal it. A NEW WRINKLE A trial basketball game played without the customary center jump, was the offering served up to customers at the Ohio State-Ohio U. basketball tilt played last Saturday in the Bobcat, Coliseum. Coach Olsen, of the latter team, has long favored the abolition of the jumping tip-off man, believing that a tall center gives an otherwise inferior team, an undeserved advantage. The new rule has several times been discussed by the basketball rules committee and there is considerable agitation among hoop followers around the country, for its adoption. Of course, the Ohio State tilt was not an official contest and the remaining games will be played under the present rules THE BIG GAME Prom the way they treated Carnegie Tech last Saturday, it looks as if there is going to be a Trojan eleven on the field New Year's day that Pittsburg will have a hard time beating. That enormous reserve strength of the Southern California team which turned the 13 to 13 tie at half into a 45 to 13 victory has a great chance of giving the Easterners a drubbing.. Not that Pittsburg isn't good, having beaten Carnegie by a small matter of five touchdowns, but after their long trip, they will have a tough time beating Howard Jones' squad. MEN'S SMOKER Was it? If it was, I failed to see it. Last Monday _there was much talk of a smoker, but everyone seemed to be in doubt as to the reality of the project. Tuesday morning there was not a feeling of doubt, there simply was no smoker. There didn't seem to be much advertisement as to whether it was to be given or not. Probably the enthusiastic committee can explain to you why the smoker did not go as Two more victories were added to the "Viking list when the Super Varsity took a thriller from Marine Ways 39 to 37, and a combined squad of Supers and J. V.'s nosed out the Mount Vernon Junior College 43 to 42. The Marine Ways contest was played at the "Y", Tuesday, December 17, while the Junior College five was defeated at Fair-haven, Monday, December 16. Supers Stage Rally i The Super Varsity' staged a brilliant rally to come from behind and nose out the Marine Ways. Trailing 24 to 16 at the half, the Supers crept up and finally tied the score at 35 all. Erickson and Dixon scored a field goal apiece and Clarke dropped in a long one for the Mariners, but the game ended with the Supers still holding a 2-point lead. Alumni Good The Marine Ways, which is" made up of practically all alumni, gave a fine exhibition of basketball, and it was a tough game for them to lose. Keplinger had a dead eye for the basket, and scored from all over the floor for a total of 21 points. "Occie" Thorsen also played a fine game until taken out late in the second period on fouls Worsham played a bang-up game for the Supers on defense, and also-made 11 points to cop .high scoring "honors. In Line for Half Title The Super Varsity has but one game left to win in order to take the first half title. This is with the strong Y. M. C. A. team, once defeated. The game will be played Tuesday, December 31, and should be a real battle. The Line-ups Super Varsity— Marine Ways— Erickson 7 F Keplinger 2.1 Sanders 2 F Walters 2 Dixon 4 C Thorsen 6 Pederson 8 G Anderson 4 Worsham 11 G Clarke 4 Substitutions— Normal: Jones 7. Marine Ways: Harper, Geri. In the game with Mount Vernon, the Super Varsity played the first half and the Jayvees the last half. Th Supers led 29 to 24 at the half, but led by Minnahan and Barkley, the College boys almost defeated the Junior Varsity. A last-minute basket by Nyberg decided the game Dixon and Pederson shared high-scoring honors for the game. _o That Ellensburg Normal will have a powerful quintet this year is shown by the fact that they defeated Whitman College on successive nights 36 to 20, and 34 to 25. Mc- Phee, a new-comer, was the high scoring man of both games with 19 and 14 points respectively. All of last year's lettermen are also back which looks as if the Wildcats will be tough to beat. Thursday night of last week saw the Philo and Co-op teams meet in the second set of games in the Intramural basketball league. The game was first given to the Philo team, 18-17, but some question was raised concerning points scored and the game will be awarded at a meeting of managers. - B o t h teams worked fairly well on the floor and scoring was fairly well divided. Brazas worked, well for the Philos, and on the Co-op team Rice was the best bet for points. Men's Club Wins The Men's Club-Alley Cat Game was more one-sided as far as scoring was concerned, Men's Club winning 23-17. Jacklin starred for the Men's club with 8 field goals and two foul shots for total of 18 points. Smith, of the Cats, was next high with nine points. Brinkman and Hermsen' also* worked well for the men while Brunstad and Stearns did the best for the Alley Cats. Sam Carver refereed both games.

Coach Dick Hanley, of Northwestern, and his assistant, Andy Kerr, has handled the Eastern aggregation in past years, while Babe Hollingberry of Washington State, has taken charge of the West. That this year's game will be a good one is shown by the number of stars signed up by both teams. Three Ail-Americans top the Eastern list, Cannon, of Notre Dame; Sleight, of Purdue, and Nagurski, of Minnesota. Add to these, Abbie Booth and a score of others and the East looms as a powerful threat. Lorn, of California; Striff, of Oregon State; Diehl, of Idaho; Gregor, of Washington; Schwartz, Washington State; Edison of California, and many other Coast stars and you have an equally powerful team. The West won last year, but they have plenty of opposition to overcome if they wish to do so this year. We Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, John P..

P 0 4 The Junior Varsity pinned another victory to their belt in the City Class "B" league by defeating the Whatcom County Dairymen's association to the tune of 42 to 21, Wednesday, December 18, on the "Y" floor. The Junior Varsity although lacking good team work, had their eye for the basket occasionally and soon ran up the score well out of danger. The team has improved considerably since the opening of the season. With only one defeat against them they are holding down second place. If the "Y' 'is tipped over this half the Junior Varsity and "Y" will be tied for first place. At half time the score was 19 to 8 in the Normal's favor The score indicates that the Normal had little trouble in keeping a safe lead. Gaither was high scorer for the Normal, with Johnston, Flowers, and Miller each making up 6 points to make a triple tie for second place honors. Williams pushed in the most baskets for the milkmen, with Hayerman pushing in 4 baskets. Williams and Haverman seemed to be the mildmen's only bets.

BOOK REVIEW "Scatter diligently in susceptible minds The germs of the good and the beautiful. They will develop there to trees, bud, bloom, And bear the golden fruits of paradise'. RUSKIN. This is what "Gems of Deportment and Hints of Etiquette", by Mrs. M. L. Rayne (1882) aimed to do for our grandmothers when their minds were young and susceptible. Mrs. Rayne must- have been a wide-awake, up-to-date, modern woman, or else things have been relayed to us with some falsity. Sentimentality is the chief contrast with modern etiquette. For instance, an author of today's etiquette does not attempt to define the kiss. In the chapter of Salutations she considers the handshake, the bow and the #kjss. After searching for definitions :by Plato, Milton, Tennyson, Shake- ' speare, Dryden and Mrs. Browning, she comes to this conclusion—"The kiss of decorum is given on either ; cheek; the kiss of affection and ' conjugal love upon the lips; the kiss of ceremony upon the hand." For rules on reading, Mrs. Rayne sets forth Emerson's three: (1) nev- "er read any book that is not a year old. (2) never read any but famed books. (3) never read any books but what you like. Going from "Books" to "Baths", she says, "Half of the people we meet in t he daily walks of life are unclean, and t he high water marks atvtheir neck and wrists plainly testify. They have said to the ablu-tionary wave, "Thus far shalt thou come and no further', and putting on the mark of cleanliness they hope to pass undiscovered in the ranks of respectability." A Moorish Bath, Arab Perfume Bath, Milk Bath, and lastly the Wine Baths of Paris are dealt with. Did you ever hear of "poetry of the eyes" and the fashion in spectacles— a pair for every occasion— "smoked glasses for the promenade" (to absorb light refracted from the pavement, "rose-colored glasses (to enhance the beauty of the eyes); "blue glasses" (makes one look intellectual) and then the "rimless eye-servers" (for the weak eyes) were given last place for they weren't so stylish. If our grandmothrs were possessors of the truly "crowning glory" and small cupid's bow lips they were subjects of elegant poetry. Delicate hands caused the poet to become effusive also. When our grandmothers became engaged—muster up some pity for them if they acted as Mrs. Rayne said they should. The latter part of the book is given over to helpful hints, the literature, language and significance of flowers. iW thMrs. Rayne's great aid there was no danger of ever sending a yellow carnation, which signifies disdain, to the object of one's affections when a rose colored lt; l Wishing You Prosperity and Success And pledging our continued service and assistance during the coming year. The HOME STORE TRI-C CLUB MEETS The Tri-C club held their regular meeting Wednesday evening, December 18, with Miss Eunice Blom-berg president, at her home 612 Garden street. During the regular business meeting election of officers for next quarter was taken up. Members enjoyed a pot-luck supper, which was followed by t he exchanging of gifts and the singing of carols.

How simple it was to let the flowers carry messages! Dead leaves, meaning sadness, would be the reply to a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums, slighted love. Simple! A child' receiving a lump of moss would know his mother loved him, and anyone receiving a bouquet of French marigolds would know the sender was jealous. Instead of saying "I love you", a tulip could be delivered. No end of aid to the teacher was the part dedicated to gems of poesy, and poems for recitation: "The Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight", "Little Phil", "In the State's Prison", "The Fisherman's Story", "A Christmas Poem", "In the Mining Town" and several other delightfully .depressing poems to be recited on gala occasions. The book ends quite appropriately with etiquette becoming to widows and widowers. The Latest in Records and Sheet PPPPP

CONCERT A T 8:15 P. M. Songsters Have' Travelled Through America and Europe. Group Spent Year of Study Abroad. With a varied program made up of songs from the opera to the negro boat and cabin songs, the Williams' Colored Singers •. will appear in the Normal School auditorium on next Tuesday evening, December 13. This octette of jubilee singers has spent years of constant devotion of their lives to singing in the United States and Canada. They have added a year of travel and study in England, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Belgium!, Germany and France. The Colored Singers spent eighteen weeks in London where they gave 130 performances, singing in many of its best-known theatres, among which was the world famous Coliseum.. While, in London the entire company was under the instruction of one of the world's greatest vocal teachers—Miss Ira Aldridge—who is a scholar of the London Eoyal Conservatory of Music, and whose early teacher was the famous Jennie Lind. This experience added to natural talent and former years of faithful application, enhances the ability of each individual singer and has produced in their case a remarkable Trmsical combination. The company, now stronger and better, are again touring America, their native land. Plantation songs and "darky" melodies will be rendered at the entertainment to which student activity tickets will admit. "Some splendid singing is to be heard at the Renfield Street Music Hall this week. An octette of colored ladies and gentlemen, known as the Williams Jubilee' Singers, delighted last night's large audience with their harmonizing. Especially pleasing was the songs sung by the four gentlemen, all the numbers being executed with a softness and taste de% lightfully pleasing to hear."—Glasgow News, Glasgow, Scotland. Noted Young Pianist Presents a Recital In Today's Assembly George Hopkins, pianist and composer, of the University of Oregon music department, entertained during assembly today with a piano recital. Three of the numbers which he played were of his own composition. His compositions as well as his concert engagements have brought him renown on the West Coast and have carried him into the musical limelight. Mr. Hopkins' musical career began when he was eight years of age and was under the supervision of Alfred Butler, a prominent instructor, of Los Angeles. His first professional engagement occurred when he was thirteen. Godowsky, the great pianist, emphatically advised him to continue his musical career. Won Scholarship In Baltimore, Md., Mr. Hopkins won the Peabody Conservatory scholarship which enabled him to" study under Garold Randolph, director of the conservatory, and under Gustav Strube, ' director of the Baltimore Symphany Orchestra. During the season of 1923-24 and 1924-25 he won in competitive examinations, fellowships in piano, and composition at the Tuilliard Foundation in New York City.

Miss Tucker has served for one quarter, filling out the term of Don Patterson, who resigned in August. A second student representative will be elected to fill the unexpired term of Asa Sherwood, who recently resigned. There are two more quarters to be served out on his term of office. Petitions will be posted on the bulletin board today.

At the Board o fControl meeting last evening Robert Wagner was again elected editor of the Weekly Messenger for the winter quarter. Barney Chichester was re-elected business manager of the paper and Roy Arnett again selected as secretary to the Board of Control. o Tuesday evening, December G, Miss Olive Edens spoke to the combined three chapters of the P. E. 0. at the home of Mrs. Percy Livesey. She talked on "Some Memories of Sicily" where she visited about twelve years ago. Mr. Herbert Fowler also talked Tuesday evening to the Fairhaven P. T. A. on the subject, "The Reading Habit—a Vice or a Virtue." Both are members of the English department. Student Organisation Council Drops Twelve Clubs; Considers New Plans . Twelve schools clubs, now disorganized, were dropped from the roster of Students' Organization Council at a meeting held last Monday night. Of these clubs, at least two are expected to resume activity, while it i s possible that some others will also, either this quarter or next. The clubs dropped were the Camera, Ephata, College, Norcentra, Ohiyesa, Oregon, Sagebrush, Sourdough, Choral Union, Mens' Club, Scholarship, and Girl Scouts. The council also discussed plans for reorganization, this being necessary because of the added duties which have been acquired since the organization of the council ' several years ago. The plans which were sxiggested were presented by Miss Rosene, chairman of the faculty committee on student organizations. The systems for reorganization were as follows: ; First Plan: That a general assembly of all club members be held once a month to discuss the problems of the school organizations. From this group an executive committee of five would be elected to take charge of all sttident organization activities. This committee would be responsible only to the faculty. Second Plan: That the club activities be added to the responsibilities of the Board of Contral of the Students' Association. The board, together with the faculty committee, would then select fro mthe school at large, irrespective of club membership, a committee of five to take charge of the details connected with the administration of organizations, and would be directly responsible to the clubs. ~ - Third Plan: That the Students' Organization Council be retained, but with several modifications, first being a requirement that the delegates from the clubs be either office holders or members of the club executive council. From this representative group, a committee of five would then select from the school at all the details of club activities. The club representatives would be elected for a term of three quarters, irrespective of their term of office in the club, and would retain a place on the club's executive committee for the duration of their representation at the council, even after ceasing to hold a club office. This is to keep the membership of the organization council intact for three quarters, so that the same group will be able to carry out constructive work throughout the entire school year. Miich discussion followed the suggestions, the consensus of opinion in the council favoring the adoption of the third plan, but with further modifications. Robert Fisher, President of the Students' Association, was present as the representative of the Board of Control, and voiced an approval of the second plan, which would give the responsibility to the Board of Control. That a conclusion might be arrived at, President Raymond Bright and Miss Rosene appointed a committee, to give a report on the plans. Students are invited to offer suggestions to this committee. Said President Bright, "The Students' Organization Council is work^. ing on a new constitution. Several students have appeared with definite ideas and we will appreciate more of them. Our aim is a more efficient organization." Prior to the discussion of the plans, routine business was taken care of and reports from each club were heard. DISCUSSED TUESDAY Miss Orpha M^eP'nerson talked to the Frosh Tuesday in their special assembly on the Rural Curriculum. There will be one more meeting at which students will be asked to choose a definite curriculum to study during the next two years. Different types of rural schools and a contrast of the number of one-room schools in this state with those in other states was shown by President Fisher in a short resume of the rural field. He pointed out that the one-room school is rapidly--disappearing. He also stressed the value of choosing a curriculum and sticking with it to insure having the right kind of credits for graduation in six quarters. \ Miss McPherson told of the rural school problem and the need of the rural children for a good education. "The consolidated schools have helped but not solved the problem," she stated. "Education must recognize the difference between rural and urban life." This school provides, it was pointed out, large opportunities for work in the rural curriculum, through cooperation with the numerous rural schools just adjacent to Bellingham. There is an adequate opportunity for student teachers to get in their work in this field. Mr. Bruce Gray to Talk With Students Mr. Bruce G. Gray, of New York, who is the traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Work of America, is visiting the Normal today, Friday, Dec. 9. Mr. Gray is a graduate of the University of Toronto, and has had two years work in Knox College. At the present time he is making a tour of the Pacific Coast colleges and comes here from Vancouver, B. C. Between 1 and 4 o'clock Mr. Gray will be in room 206 for personal conferences. If you have any point you wish to talk over with him, or if you wish to meet and talk to him, be sure to get an appointment. A notice will be posted on the Y. W. C. A. bulletin board for signatures. Mr. Gray, will speak in room 206 at 4 o'clock. The meetings are sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. but all men and women, studentg and faculty, are welcome.

The need of a revision is well known. One of the glaring inequalities extant under the present system is that departmental clubs cannot hold all-school affairs. It was necssary that special permission be granted the " W " club to allow them to give their dance, when this regulation was resurrected at the last minute. The requirement that club meetings be kept on the campus seems unfair. The number of off-campus affairs at least is too limited. Many clubs have members with homes in Bellingham. To allow clubs to meet in regular meetings at off-campus places could do no particular harm and would add to the interest of the meetings as well as providing different social surroundings. , Now, while the Council is undergoing changes is the time to consider and propose desired regulations. The Council has only been in existence about two years. It has been through a period of experimentation. Now it is ready to utilize its experiences and formulate new rules in the light of them. There is a real need for such an organization as the Council and its authority will increase in the future. While the organization is yet plastic and changeable and receptive to suggestions, club members should be looking to their best interests—while they may. A N D — T H E P O I N T SYSTEM Discussion about the Inter-Club Council suggests one of its pets— namely, the point system. At present it seems to be quite defunct, perhaps fortunately so. At one time the faculty committee attempted to enforce the regulations. But that took a great deal of their time. It was suggested that a student board from the Inter-Club Council take over the job. They, too, are busy. The job of enforcing the point system for every student in school would take quite a bit of time. But if it is worth enforcing at all it should be done thoroughly. The Messenger suggests that a small committee, largely students, assume the responsibility for the work and that they in turn be allowed to hire someone to do the actual clerical work necessary. At any rate, we hope that when the new Council constitution is being milled over the point system will receive a little real consideration. By B A R N EY The Training School models of their proposed playhouse, designed and built by the pupils. Playhouse Project of Training School Is Nearing Completion What is it for? Who is building it? Why isn't it finished? These are the questions which are asked about the little house behind the main building. It was during the Fall quarter of 1926 that Mr. Ruckmick wanted a real problem for his eighth grade industrial arts class, so he took up the matter with the supervisors of the training school. The primary teachers talked it over with the children, and soon the following letter was forwarded to the eighth grade: Dear Eighth Grade: Will you please build a playhouse out of doors for us? We would like a strong house where the rain and snow cannot get in.—From Second Grade. In answer to this, each eighth grade pupil wrote a letter to a second grader giving suggestions and asking questions about the plans for the house. Those letters were greatly prized by the second graders and an answer was sent from the entire class containing particulars about the design of the proposed house. Now that the eighth grade boys had a real problem the next step was to make definite plans so they. visited the second graders and discussed with them pi a n s, color schemes, sizes, etc. The second grade studied houses in the neighborhood and formed clear ideas of what they wanted so that when the eighth grade boys brought their blue print plans to them for criticism they were able to tell definitely what they wanted. Much time Avas spent by the eighth grade, boys in building cardboard models. Finally six miniature models ; were complete and presented to . j^ the second grade for further criticism. It Avas a hard task for the little tots to decide which one they liked best but they finally voted to accept the model constructed by Irving Easton. The house was followed this model in all but a few minor details. There are to be two room8 in the house, a play room and a quiet room. A red-brick fireplace is to be placed in the quiet room while the play room is to have a large bay window. When completed the building will have a front and back entrance. The plastering is to be done by the seventh grade boys and the girls' art classes will plan and make the furnishings. The task of general building and electrical work was delegated to the eighth grade boys. It was originally intended to have the building completed by January, 1927, but the task proved more difficult than anticipated. Every process was studied before any actual work was alone. First came the excavating and cement work which was hindered by rainy weather. When actual building work was started it was found that the banging disturbed classes in session in the main building so that the time of working was further limited. With Mr. Ruckmick away this fall and the Avork far. from finished, interest began to lag so that it was decided to alloAV the school carpenters to finish the outside work. The inside work can be finished by the school. children. It is expected that this last work will be finished rapidly as the building has now taken shape and is stimulating the children's interest. The mounted police are a nervy lot, They live as best they can. And they make the most of the things they've got, But they always get their man.

She turned to her companion, despairingly, and said: "Well, Avhat's to be done noAv?" Placing his arm about her Avaist, in soothing Avords he said: "Darling, do not fret, I will place a kiss upon your lips that will giAre you new life." She turned to him in surprise.

The three veterans, Earl Keplinger, Eddie Winguard and Art Isaacson, especially gave evidence of picking up rapidly, but the workouts on the hig high Whatcom floor seem beneficial to all the men. Harry Benson, the fourth of last year's stars, was out all week with back injuries. Viking chances were somewhat weakened when Wade Moore, ex- Cheney star, decided not to return to school next quarter, as did Gus Riegel, jayvee man. Les Cox Has been taken on by the Junior Varsity to fill up its roster. With even a tentative varsity unpicked, and the opening of the season a month away, Coach Sam Carver has planned numerous practice tilts with various town and independent teams in the Northwest to round his fast team into shape. A well balanced varsity, at least equal to last year's state tri-ndrmal championship outfit, seems to be on deck for the 1928 season. Earl "Keppy" Keplinger, a Normal star for the past two seasons, is again counted upon to lead the Viking scoring offense. Wingard, a letterman of three years ago, has been showing his stuff the past few wreeks and may be the choice for Keplinger's running-mate. Oscar Thorsen, super center and a varsity sub last winter, seems due to get the call for the pivot position. Thorsen is a better floor man than ever before, and his shooting is far above what it has been in the past. It ig in the guard position that this year's team is doped as strongest, presaging a strong defensive aggregation. Art Isaacson, one of the best checkers in the state, and a Viking veteran, is due to hold down hig share of the defense, and with Harry Benson, another veteran, Ted Clarke, former local high school star, and Ray Jewell, of the 1927 U. of W. Froah, in addition, Normal will have two pairs of capable guards to rush into any game. Leading the fight for the remaining varsity jobs are '•Zeke" McClurken and Jack Harper, fast super forwards. Coach Carver had nothing definite to announce concerning his schedule Wednesday, but stated that games are tentative with all the schools met last year, with C. P. S., the W. S. C. Frosh, and possibly the Idaho Frosh added. Huskies Bow Down to US.C. Football The Huskies song of triumph, "Bow Down to Washington," carried a tame sound after Captain Moelry Drury led his U. S. C. football team to a 33-13 victory over U. of W. The big Trojan ail-American quarterback paved the way for his teammates by gaining a total of 194 yards, and outsmarting the Washing-ington team by his end runs, the first being good for seventy-six yards and a touchdown. A second run of twenty-five yards by Drury gave U. S. C. another touchdown, and at the half the Huskies were facing a 20-0 tally. With the score 26-0 against them, the Huskies came up near the close of the third period with an eighty-yard march, which ended in a touchdown. The final score, 33-13, left Southern California tied with Stanford and Idaho for first place honors in the Pacific Coast conference.. _ With Louis Tesreau, the Huskies' star halfback, out of the game from the first play with a wrenched knee, Washington lost the power and snap that it had^ shown throughout the season.

The Scotch-Frosh game was a regular see-saw of scores and although the Frosh were behind in the first half they came back in the second to successfully retain the lead and put across the winning tally. Every man on the Frosh contributed at least a v tally to win the game. Reeves, of the Scotchmen, was high point man of the game by marking up nine points. The Kitchen Krew-Co-op game was a much closer and harder fought contest and although the Krew was always close on the heels of the Coop, they could not quite overtake them and were nosed out by a single marker. The .Kitchen Krew just didn't seem to be able to find the basket and time and time again lost many an opportunity ,by a hair. Armstrong of the Kitchen Krew shouldered the entire game by knocking down 14 markers and although his supporters' team-work was good, their eye was not, and so they took the sad end of the score. Ben Hamilton refereed both contests. Lineup: Kitchen .Krew Co-op.

Excluding a few slips and slides, due to the snow, the teams kept their positions 6n the field better than in any previous .game or practice. The Freshmen kept the ball in Sophomore territory for the major part of the game. Grace Clampett and Genevieve Evatt, captain of the Freshmen, made the scores for their team, while Dorothy McCool and Viola Searing made the Sophomore goals. Grace Clampett's goal was a swift, straight shot over a quarter of the field's length. Sophomore forwards were ready to receive the ball in most every case. Jean Williams, Gladys Green, Anna Hicklin were that team's star players, while Mae Dillon in one instance kicked the ball over half the length of the field for the Frosh. Ruth Bradley, Lillian Wendland, Rosa Van Ess played a good game for the Frosh also. Class soccer teams a r e as follows: Freshmen—Atkin, Bevel, Bradley, Clampett, Caley, Dillon, Evatt, captain; Kittner, Koli, Massey, Wendland, Van Ess. Sophomores—Buxton, Fox, Green, Gunderson, Hicklin,. Lawrence, McCool, Neely, captain, Searing, Rath-man, Vik, Williams. o Notre Dame made an excellent showing this season,. defeating the Navy, Georgia Tech and Southern California, but despite these important victories, Notre Dame could not put in any claim to championship honors,, due to an untimely defeat at the hands of the Army team. SUPER TEAM LOOMS STRONG IN DECISIVE T LEAJjUEVICTORY 59-38 Win From the Baker Lumber Yard Outfit Gives Normal Team Second Place on League. CLASS A STANDINGS Team— Won Lost Pet. Y. M. C. A. 3 0 1.000 Normal 2 . 1 .666 Roland W 1 2 .333 Baker Lumber 0 3 .000 The Supervarsity quintet was "sparking" Wednesday evening when they steam-rolled their way to a 53 to 38 victory over the Baker Lumber Yard cager,s, to move into second position in the Class A City League. The Y. M. C. A. relegated the Roland Wreckers to third place, defeating them 59 to 31. For the first time this season the Supers displayed the pep and form that brings a smile to a coach's face. During the first half it was a well oiled machine that worked up and down the floor as a unit, sweeping the lumbermen off their feet; they were leading 35 to 17 a t the end of the period. With the contest salted away Coach Sam Carver began tossing his substitutes into the fray and the unity of the team was slightly broken. Realizing this, the Baker five perked up a bit and outscored the Vikings by one point in the final canto. That final half, however, revealed that the supers have a promising substitute for Thorsen at cen-tei-, in "Chuck" Erickson, who accounted for 8 points during his short stay in the game. Diminutive "Zeke" McClurken, flashy forward, was easily the star of the contest aB well as high point man, with 14 markers. It was "Zeke's" flashy performance that sped up the entire team. The little forward was in practically every play, and did some brilliant shooting and passing. The most surprising feature of the battle was the fact that Oscar Thorsen, Viking center, discovered what appears to be a scoring complex, making 13 points. The discovery was probably as much of a surprise to "Ocky" as to his mates. If the blond Norseman can keep the pace he set Wednesday night, he will be a hard man to keep off the regular varsity five. Wednesday the Supers will meet the Roland Wreckers in a return engagement. Although the Normal spanked the Wreckers soundly in their last meeting, the latter five has improved materially, and has as its coach Foster Carver, brother to our own Sam. At present it appears as if the Y. M. C. A. is headed for the title, but the Vikings still have a chance. The lineup for Wednesday's game follows: Normal 53 Baker L. 31 Harper 2 F. Olson 8 McClurken 14 .. F Rankin 10 Thorsen 13 C Gregory Anderson, 4 .... G. Keplinger 5 Clark 7 , G Dawson 2 Geri 2 Sub Hawkins 2 Erickson 8 Sub Yorkston 4 Hawkings 3 .... Sub.

Although the Juniors did in part avenge their disastrous defeat at the hands of the Shell Oil five last week,, by trouncing the tail end American Legion quintet 53 to 25, Tuesday evening, they are still sitting meekly in third place. Shell Oil and the Y. M. C. A. have a vice-like grip on the top of the ladder and will be difficult to displace. In the Legion contest the Juniors showed considerable improvement although at times their defensive and offensive work was ragged. Two reasons for the 53-point Viking score were Bob Fisher, regular center, who returned to the line-up after being incapacitated with a boil for a week, and "•Granny" Thorlakson, a new addition to the squad.

A. members and five of the Normal faculty, started last Saturday morning at 7 on a trip to their Sinclair Island lodge. ; The time at the lodge was spent in hiking across the island, playing games and cards, singing; and planning the future of Sinclair Lodge. Yipla Searing prepared a good, hot dinner for the group. As usual, after a trip of this sort the crowd waited until the last minute to leave, and were forced to rush madly for the boat. They climbed aboard while the boat was tpssed and rolled by the gale, and all were forced to go below clinging to rails and other boat appendages unless they wished an unexpected swim. • Coming home, "The waves beside them danced, but they out did the sparkling waves in glee," until one by one, the party changed color and became sick. This, "however, was merely ,a diversion to pass the time away. One faculty member made a remark that was not too subtle: for anyone who has had a first experience with wild Puget Sound. waves! •"•The'output'of'this trip is greater than the income."

Inside Informal Delightful Affair FACULTY MEMBERS TRAVEL AND STUDY : Miss Marie Druse, who is connected with the art department of this school, is spending her quarter's vacation in Southern California, where as she states, is dividing her time between the ' interests of Hollywood and Los Angeles. She has been studying' extensively in the different phases of art, in the many schools of California. She has been studying in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Los Angeles. Florence Thatcher, former head of niusic department, is now located in Fullerton, Cal. Miss Belle Sperry, English instructor of this school, is visiting friends in Oregon and California. " Miss Margaret Zurbrick, formerly on the library staff, and a graduate of this school, is teaching in a school in Montana. Dr. Howard Wheeler Note Located 4th Floor Herald Bldg. Phone 493 One of the most successful dances of the quarter was given by the Eden's Hall girls Dec. 3, in the Eden's Hall drawing room. Approximately sixty-five couples attended the affair. The decorations were cleverly done in the Dutch motic, Colonial panels of life-size Dutch figures hung on the walls and Dutch window boxes of tulips were in the windows. The lights were shaded by colored rectangular shapes on which Dutch figures Avere silhouetted. Picturesque dykes also added to the Dutch atmosphere. The programs were very artistic with a Dutch windmill painted in black on a tan background. Tiny wooden shoes were suspended from the black silk cords. A Dutch feature dance was given by little Miss .Virginia Eagle and Miss Betty Lane during the intermission. Music was furnished by the Knickerbocker orchestra from Seattle. Many outside guests were present at the dance. Patrons and patronesses for the dance included Miss Florence Johnson, Mrs.'Ewell, Mrs. Hunt/ Mr. Johnson, Mr. Ewell and Mr. Hunt. j Miss EvelynLysons was in charge of the affair. — o Second Graders Get Letter From gt;- Chris. Morley Mount Vernon Junior College Offers Work of Accredited Rank Pride reigns supreme in tlic second grade of the elementary school, following the receipt of a letter from Christopher Morley, noted poet and playwright. The finding of a cockroach, w h i c h was unknowingly brought into the room in an apple box, added another specimen to the collection of insects and bugs which the class was gathering for its work in nature study. However, it. was not until Miss Rich, director of the training school, mentioned Morley's poem about the cockroach, that the students thought of the bug from a poetical point of view. Though exhaustive attempts were made to get a copy of the poem, none was available locally, so the class decided to write the poet concerning the source of it. •The letter, which was composed by the students,, was as follows: Dear Christopher Morley: Will you please tell us where we can find your poem about the cockroach? We found one and we are interested in them. We heard that you wrote a poem about them. Your friends, The Second Grade, Bellingham Normal Training School. The reply which the poet sent read: "Dear Second Grade: You'll find my poem about the cockroach in a book of poems called "Chimney-smoke." which any bookstore can get for you. Good luck and a merry Christmas to you all. Your friend, Christopher Morley." Miss Mildred M.offatt, training teacher of the second grade, stated that this has led the*children to a study and appreciation of poetry and so the discovery of the cockroach has been valuable in other lines than nature studv.

(First of a series of articles on schools of college rating near the Bellingham Normal—Editor.) MT. VERNON JUNIOR COLLEGE How many schools are there with in fifty miles of Bellingham which have at least two years of college work? Mt. Vernon Junior College will be described in this article, as first of a series of articles which deal with these higher institutions Mt. Vernon Junior College was officially opened as a liberal arts school September 7, 1926, with a total enrollment of thirty students. For this year of 1927-1928, several new subjects have been added, making the college two years of full work from a curriculum of general selected courses in eight departments. Mr. J. A. Reeves, principal of the Mt. Vernon high school, is also principal of the college. The faculty is composed of five instructors who have all' received master's degrees at the University of Washington. The school at present is using a part of the Mt. Vernon high school building and gym. Courses of study are general and all subjects are five-hour credit courses; and accredited in every college and university of the Northwest. Six courses are given in biology, three in zoology, four in economics, eight in English, four in history, six in mathematics and eight in French and German. Psychology, political science, philosophy, chemistry and physics. A course in education is given to sophomores and is prerequisite to general education courses. Requirements for admission and graduation are similar to the Normal. , Activities of the College Although football has not become a major sport, this small school is very active in extra curricular activities. Squads of tennis, debating, boys' and girls' basketball, and a dramatics and science club are well in evidence. The initial tradition at the college is ••'Trophy Day." This tradition is in the form of a hunt, which terminates with a banquet. AQUARIUM DEVELOPED BY SIXTH GRADERS; MUCH INTEREST SHOWN The wish for an aquarium by the sixth grade training school class has resulted in an enthusiastic study of water plants and animals by that group. Last fall a copy of a pamphlet on school aquaria came to the class, and the study of this booklet brought about the desire for an aquarium. The school was requested to buy one, and this was done. At first the aquarium contained but three goldfish, brought by the pupils from home, and a few plants. Since then several trips have been taken by the class in order to get plants, rocks, shells, and animals for the collection. Snails and crawfish have been introduced, but because of acid conditions, they have not lived. At present the aquarium contains but four fish and a waterdog, but experiments are being made to discover a way of keeping other forms of life. The students are entirely responsible for the work, and arc exceedingly interested in it, according to Miss Mary Cole, training teacher, who said, "The children are most interested. All problems studied arise from their own questions. Our main interest is introducing new forms of life to see which thrives better."

CAPTAIN PETERSON 10 PI HELD F Preliminary Contest Held Tuesday Six Winners Appear Friday in the Armistice Day Assembly. A contest to"test the ability of the students in extemporaneous speaking will be-featured in next Friday's assembly. The Extempore Contest, which was installed last year, will be held Friday, November 11, in celebration of Armistice Day and also the entrance of Washington into statehood. General Plan The general plan of the contest is to post a list "of topics of common interest on the bulletin boards Tuesday morning. . Any "one who then wishes to enter the contest has all day to prepare a speech- of about five minutes on any one of the topics of which he may choose. From the contestants - appearing Tuesday evening six will be chosen to appear Friday morning" in the regular assembly. From this1-later contest two will "be chosen to contest in the finals which will be held in the spring quarter.; The winner of all these contests will have the honor of having his name, carved on the school loving cup. The winner last year was June Wetherell, with the subject from "Columbus to Lindbergh." All students -in speech classes who enter the extempore contest will be excused from attendance ' at one class. Stimulate Thinking "It is our hope tliat these contests will not only stimulate thinking1 among the students, but will also help raise the general level of their speech. To be sure, the best speakers will probably try out, but the opportunity is open to all," . Miss Madden, director, of the contest, said. .•, .•/'•;••'• ' Debate Club Anyone who is interested in ^public speaking and- debate "and wishes membership in the new debate club can use his extempore v speech as A tryout into the club, by signing his name; to a notice which will be .found on the . bulletin, 'board. Judges will be on hand and those who qualify in the first twelve and so desire will automatically become: members of the debateclub.

Not only larger but of better general tone has been the publisher's objective^ A preview of thei'booklets shows an attractive volume containing much of interest about both teams and schools competing and occasioning Bellingham's 1927 Homecoming. A somewhat different arrangement of material with the idea of contrast between the schools in mind constitutes one of the changes over last year's programs. The addition of the Dope Sheet containing statistics of former contests is something entirely new. The pictures of the players are larger than any previously used and have registered the approval of the compilers of the program. Pictures of the two Normal Schools and their presidents are an-/ nual features of interest. The alumni page brings to light personnel of the Alumni Association officials which happens only about once yearly. The statistics concerning each of the players foFboth Bellingham and Ellensburg of course constitute the primary reason for printing- such a book. The weights, numbers, names and homes of all players are listed as well as the starting lineups of both teams for the game. A coach's page is a pleasing feature . of the program. These •"programs will be on sale throughout today and tomorrow until the game. 'The sale price is" 25 cents. Theo. Ndrby and Robert Wagner are the joint publishers. W.

"Lilies of the Field," which was chosen for publication by the Drama League of! Great Britain in 1924, is full of clever lines and comic incidents. There is no doubt that the pen of John-.Hastings Turner has turned out a type of play that combines all the qualities, that make for delightful play going. The story, as acted out, is about a mild-mannered English clergyman who has twin daughters. These two daughters, . both examples of the. modern age, tire of the monotonous life that is associated with, living in" the country. They -gb to London,' at their grandmother's invitation, and get entangled in- a delightfully romantic affair. How the minister, his wife, and his motherin-law come to their rescue, liow they attempt to entangle the sitution, forms the comic third act. Moroni Olsen, Byron Foulger, Lepra Thatcher, Dorothy Adams, Marion Claytonj Janet Young, Gordon Nelson, J. H. Williams, Harry. Allen and Lila Eccles will take the principal parts in the play. • The Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Anna Christie" th second, and most noted of these plays, . will be . presented here on February 29. This play, written by the well known play-wright, Eugene O'Neil, has just recently been released and it will be one of the first times it has ever been acted out on the Pacific Coast. "The Detour," written by Owen Davis, will be the third and last play of the season. March 26 is the probable date for .this play. . Those that remember the Moroni Olsen Players from past years are undoubtedly glad to know that they are again on: our fall and winter entertainment list. "Here is a fine, sincere company j that acts out only the best of plays."—Denver Post. "The Moroni Olsert Players, individual and as an organization, are far superior to the average .company. Their choice. of "vehicle is equally so and the direction priceless. This visit, while brief, should certainly be a guarantee 61 another. Those who are interested .in entertaining and .finely presented plays should not permit another season to go by without their attendance.''—Rocky MountainNews, of Denver, Colo.

When the people of Bellingham hear,us chant "We'll win, by golly, we'll win," they will know from the assurance of our voices, the confidence expressed in our step that we intend to win; that we will win. What are we going to do to Ellensburg? ELLENSBURG!! We're going to B E AT The Alumni's annual pilgrimage back to the scenes and remembered places of their Alma Mater is again on. Throughout today and tomorrow the "old grads" will be flocking in. Their impressions of the new Bellingham Normal of today will be worth noting. They will find many things changed; many things differently done now. Not only externally has the Normal-By-the-Sea changed. If these former students care to inquire into the workings of the school they will find much that is differently done. New objectives, new methods of reaching them; new teachers and new thought. Times are changing in the educational world and we must keep pace. We wonder how much these graduates will find of which they do not approve. It is only natural that to them the old order would seem best. It is to be hoped that they find much that pleases them. Particularly are we anxious that we, the 1927 Student Body meet with their approval individually and as a group. But what is more important than either their approval or disapproval of Bellingham State Normal in 1927, is whether they will have enough interest and concern in the welfare of the school to come back and see what is being done, to learn.how well we are carrying on after them. A N EW SYSTEM After what was rumored to be a stormy session, the Faculty has decided to try the new system regarding absences from class. The plan provides for no excused absences, every failure to attend class for whatever reason resulting in a fraction of the total points being taken from the composite made scores for the quarter. "The New Student," a magazine carrying gleanings from the collegiate world of America has the following short article concerning unlimited cuts as tried in other schools: "Haverford is giving its year-old unlimited cut system for upper-classmen another trial, despite strong faculty opposition. Success for the plan is predicted by Dean Frederic Pamer, who believes that an increasing sense of responsibility among the students will gradually overcome the evils of excess absence. Wholesale cutting of a class by a majority of the students enrolled and individual cutting of one particular class by particular students are the two points about which the faculty protest centered. Little or no ill effects on grades was noted during the first year under the plan, said Dean Palmer, who added, "personally, I'd hate to go back to the old system. _ "At the University of North Carolina the faculty has given evidence of its faith in the students by continuing the unlimited cut system instituted last year. The reform was advocated by Dean Addison Hib-bard, of the College of Liberal Arts, who wished to emphasize the secondary importance of class attendance as opposed to accomplishment. His point evidently was well taken by the students, the Tar Heel pointing to the grades for the experimental spring quarter as on a par with those of previous periods and in some cases higher.* . So, our faculty need not feel absolutely, alone in the pioneer class with their new scheme, for other schools have gone farther by not-putting any restrictions upon absences. The new plan should be an improvement over the present system, yet there is room for doubt whether it is as fair to the students as,an unlimited cutting privilege. The sponsors of the. plan argue that by missing class a part of the work is missed and that if the student makes up the work he will show a higher score on his test to counteract the points lost through the absence. , Would it not be more justice to the student who can miss class and still make a high test i t / i w,CJi at„,XiV,„^„ „ score that he be credited with all that he does rather than lose points this way learning another phase of because he did not attend a class, the attendiiig of wbch would not raise * ^ ^ ^ in. this country. By his score in tests? In other words, if the Work covered in class can be learned from a book,, why bother to attend class? The responsibility, would rest with the instructor to make the class work so interesting and necessary that an absence would. show in the student's test grade. Perhaps it is -the faculty, not the students, who are not yet ready for such a step. ';•-'' "?•'••'• ".,'"•'• •;-:';/'.'..': .~^/£:.;The" system about to be inaugurated still -ties the students to the faculty's "apron strings" somewhat.

SEASON S T A R T S SOON City A and B Leagues Each to Have a Viking Entry/Games to Start Nov. 2 3 at Y Gym. The first week of basketball turnouts under the direction of Coaches Carver and Jewell, has revealed a wealth of veteran players and a lack of new material of caliber. About twentyifive men have been going through their paces once a day in preparation for the opening .of the class A and B city leagues, on November 23 and 24, respectively. The Viking supervarsity is listed an an entry in the senior circuit, while the Jayvees will attempt to finish ahead of the pack in the B organization, and with the opening of the season only a little more than two weeks away, some stiff workouts are on deck for the boys. Jack Harper, sub-varsity forward, and "Zelse" McClurken, fast super star of last year, were the only veterans of class A competition out. This; pair should prove to be a strong scoring combination. Wade Moore, ex-Cheney forward, is a cinch for one berth on the, super team, with Ted Clarke doped to hold down his guard position. •-".- The fine veteran Jayvee all put in their appearance this week and should provide the nucleus for another* winning combination. . "Granny" Thorlakson, shift forward, Bob Fisher^ last-year's pivot, man, and George Lmdberg, the hard-checking guard, together with Milt Meek and Theodore Norby, are the five men back. • Outstanding men among those who did not wear a Viking jersey last year are "Gus" Reigel, Sully Sullivan, Ed Jacobs, "Leg" Legoe, and Barney.

Bellingham ?, Ellensburg ? — B e a t Ellensburg The game Carver's gridders • have been pointing towards since the beginning of the season is now almost before our very.eyes. The men are ready, and they are set to play the best and probably hardest game of the /season. ——Beat Ellensburg-— The Vikings are out to avenge a 13 to 9 defeat that they received at the Wildcats' claws last year. Beat Ellensburg Both teams are out to give all they have to win. :• Beat Ellensburg— Last Saturday, in the game with St. Martin's, "Chuck" Erickson, stellar Viking quarterback, called signals with what we may say "Perfect Headwork." He consistently plunged through the line for remarkable gains. • Watch him tomorrow. -Beat Ellensburg Don Poorman is a man that might well be watched. In last Saturday's game, he broke through the line time after time to throw a would-be passer for a loss. — B e a t Ellensburg "Bill" Wanamaker has been playing under a handicap all season, but this hasn't prevented him from playing good football. Beat Ellensburg—— "Occie" Thorson and "Swede" Anderson, star Viking ends, will be out to smear any Wildcat attempts at making yardage via the end -route. Woe to the man that thinks he'll get away with any long gains around the ends. -—Beat Ellensburg "Winnie" Iverson is one of these old standbys who can always be counted upon to play a steady and consistent game. ——Beat Ellensburg-— Just a simple little question: What's the weather forecast for tomorrow? Rain? Sunshine? Cold? These are factors that figure in the condition of the field. Beat Ellensburg-—— Karl Weber made several nice returns of punts last Saturday. He is fast, and a hard man to tackle; ——Beat Ellensburg—— Though the fact that a Tri-Normal championship is at stake may diminish the value of the "dope," still, a glance at it may be of use in -sizing up the two teams. Here are the scores—draw your own conclusions: NORMAL HAS PLAYED THROUGH HARD BUT SUCCESSFUL SEASON Three Wins and One Defeat so far Marks Vikings as One of Best Teams in Junior Conference. C H E N E Y D E F E A T E D 6-0 Frosh Are.Vikings* Ony Stumbling Block While Unexpected Victory over St. Martin's Is Upset Redskins Capture City Title, Downing Scrappy FairhavenTeam 21-19 As the close of the 1927 football season draws near the Vikings' record for this year is due for a- little praise. As we survey the records of previous years we find that this year's team's record stacks up well against them. In the first game of the season against the West Seattle Athletic Club the Vikings emerged an easy winner, easily outpointing their Seattle rivals to the tune of 31-0. October 15 the Vikings journeyed ever to Cheney, and in one ofxthe closest and hardest fought battles of the year pushed over a single touchdown to win the game. 6-0. Tubby Graves' University Babes spoiled the day of October 22, for the Viking Kings with a well directed aerial attack. This game, which ended 13-7 in favor of the Frosh,' proved quite disastrous for the hilltoppers, as the Viking line was unpenetrable by the Frosh backs, but their inability to stop the Freshman passes cost them their first defeat. . A strong St. Martin's College eleven were battered and pounded to defeat last Saturday to the tune of 20-7. Rising to heights of true Viking form the Normal boys out plunged and out passed their southern rivals and held the edge throughout the game. During the entire season the Vikings have had their goal line crossed only three times, twice by the University Frosh and once in the St. Martin's game. This went for a total of twenty points while they have piled up a total of sixty-four points against their opponents. Normal's line has been a tower of strength in both offense and defense and made it possible for the Viking backs to pile up a neat average of yardage gained through the line of scrimmage. A strong passing game was displayed by the Viking squad when in the University Frosh mix they completed nine consecutive passes for a total of about seventy yards. Their weakness in the punting department and secondary, defense has the whole this year's Viking, squad cost them a few close calls but on looks as though it is on the road to a Tri-Normal championship. Whatcom High is again the city grid champs as a result of a 21 to 19. victory over the South Side team. The Redskins were routed and shattered in the great drive of the Grizzly eleven during the first half, but came back in that memorable second half, facing a 19 to 7 defeat, and turned a defeat into? victory. The game was marked, all the way through, by a great many fumbles on both- sides and as a result^ straight football was resorted to. The Whatcom line could not stop the determined march of the Grizzly teain: in the first half, but came back in the'second half arid -settled down to a real fight. ' ; -;* In the last half, ^Whatcom gave everything they..- had. -in-T,the. final drive for victory, opening up i t s b ag of trick plays for long gains: which finally won the ^game.'.- ; V , ^ ^.

Coach Sam Carver's pets kicked overr the proverbial dope bucket, spilling its contents over the sloppy gridiron, by mudding, plunging and passing their way through a bewildered Lacey aggregation for three touchdowns and one safety. The visitors, invading.Bellingham with a winning complex, left Saturday evening with a dark smear on their season's record. The powerful Viking forward wall successfully stopped the bull-like rushes of the husky Lacey backs, keeping them away from the Blue and White goal line during the entire fray. Taking advantage of a break the hilltoppers scored a safety in the initial canto, when a blocked St. Martin's punt rolled behind their goal and a ..visiting player pounced upon it. The elusive pigskin was recovered by Bill Wanamaker, Normal lineman, when the ball slipped from the hands of the St. Martin's gridder. For a time the score went as a touchdown,: but later in the game fhe officials ruled it a safety. After carrying the oval deep into the visitor's territory on .a series of line buck6^and forward passes, v the Vikings again entered the" scoring column when Dean. Edmundson, end, ran over the goal line to snare an accurate pass delivered by Captain Harold Hawkings. The try-fof-point; failed." Failure to pierce the St. Martin's forward wall when the ball was on the five-yard mark, prevented the Blue and White gridders from shoving across another touchdown at the end of the second period. A series of powerful plays aud a beautiful forward pass into the arms of Leslie Cox, left end, placed the ball in a scoring position, but the Vikings, unable to make their yardage, lost the ball and an opportunity to add six points to their score on downs. The third quarter was featured by the brilliant line plunging of "Gorilla" Farella, driving Lacey halfback, who averaged from five to ten yards gain every time he took the ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 November 4 - Page 4 ---------- CAMPAING IN CITY W.A.A.Hikedto Rocks for Picnki Saturday Morning Kiifeti^gham^ evangelistic campaign^••bepming'iS.nii-: ?!rulip A^itorium; .;£Bob Jones,. na- - tipnail^ known, is tp conduct^the; Meetings which are;.;iiuad^|the;^us;-: Vjpicfes ofi^a number of leading Bel-lingham churches....

JONES TO SPEND THANKSGIVING IN VANCOUVER, B.C. Hurray! Tom o r r o w i s Thanksgiving For an inspirational broadside about the deeper significance of the holiday see t h e editorial page. There should be at least two gooey editorials— just dripping with sentiment and oozing emotion. It seems, however, that the day really has some such significance, apart from its marking the end of the football season and being one of t h e . few occasions when a fellow may eat himself sick without attracting too much attention or feeling particularly guilty. It is a school holiday—which should be significant •enough for anybody. -W. S. N. S. — Last~ Friday saw the biggest meeting of the Mens Club in the history of the school—biggest in attendance, that isi Year by year the percentage of men increases—presently the 1 to 4 ratio will be ancient history and getting a date will be as difficult here as anywhere. Miss Adele Jones, dean of women, will spend the Thanksgiving noli-, days with relatives in Vancouver, B. C. She plans to see the Stratford- Upon-Avon festival company in their dramatization of Shakespearean plays which they are giving there this week. This company is also playing at the Metropolitan Theatre in Seattle for one week beginning on Monday, December 9. The order of the program for the week is as follows: "Much Ado About Nothing", "Romeo and Juliet", "Macbeth", "The Merry Wives of Windsor"', "Julius Caesar", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Twelfth Night", and "Hamlet". •• o MANY NEW COURSES ARE TO BE OFFERED IN WINTER QUARTER James Bever Is to Give Five-Hour Course in Economics. Freshmen Will Start Required Art Work. BELLIMI LITTLE IS Harold M. Smith Leads Orchestra Through Program of Varied and Brilliant Symphonic Numbers. -W. S. N. S, Exclusive photograph obtained at great peril, showing two of the boys working out for the Men's Club Smoker. W. S. N. S. In a school of this size, there is plenty of opportunity for the student to form a personal acquaintance with his or her instructors. That such an acquaintance would jjrove a profitable one to the student is obvious—too obvious perhaps since only a very few avail themselves of it. Which probably comes under the heading of just too bad. W. S. N. S. / THE MEN'S CLUB INFORMAL WAS A HOWLING SUCCESS—BUT THEN IT WOULD BE, WITH THE MEN'S CLUB PUTTING IT ON. ——-W. S. N. S. - About the Mens Club smoker: If you Would like to participate or if you know of anyone who would like to perform—see me, or Brazas, or Stone, about it. Thank you. W. S. N. S. As we go to press word has been received that Art Brunstead and Les Voris have been signd up. These two blood-sweating behemoths represented three hundred seventy-five pounds of bone and muscle—assurance that the Smoker will be bigger if not better than ever before. W. S. N. S. A suggestion, apropos of nothing in particular: Close the library on Saturday afternoons and keep it open on Sunday evenings instead. ——W. S. N. S. Stephen Leacock on higher education: "If [ were founding a university—and I say it with all seriousness of which I am capable— I would found 'irst a smoking room; then when I had a little more money in hand I would found a dormitory; then after that, or more probably with it, a decent reading room and library- After that, if I still had more money that I couldn't use, I would hire a professor and get some textbooks". - : •vfef-^'':.

Fisher will deliver an address on the subject of courses of study. Since all those who are planning The Bellingham Little Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Harold M. Smith, of the Normal department of Music, opened its second season yesterday evening at 8:20 p. m., in the. Normal auditorium with the successful presentation of a program of wonderfully brilliant and beautiful symphonic music. Large Audience The audience, which was of gratifying size, was delighted with the artistic turns of expression, the masterful fortissimos, and the delicate, haunting melodies, given with such touching effect. The program, listed below, was planned with the idea in mind of offering an extensive variety of orchestral effects. Overture "Egmont" Beethoven Symphony in G Minor Mozart Allegro Molto Andante Menuetta-Allegretto Allegro Assai Intermezzo Sinfonico "Cavalleria Rusticana" Mascagni Waltz, "Naila Ballett" Bizet Melodie Tschaikowsky Ballet Suite "Rosamunde"..Schubert Finlahdia Sibelius Children's Concert An afternoon concert was given at 2:00 p. m. yesterday for the benefit of the school children of'the city, who were all excused from school in order to attend the concert. Great interest in this special program was evidenced by the city school teachers, several of whom brought their pupils in groups. The program was entirely different from that presented in the evening concert, and was preceded by a short talk by Mr. Smith, describing the origin, characteristics, and uses of the various instruments in the modern symphonic ensemble. Following is the afternoon program: "Melody in E Flat", Tschaikowsky; "Berceuse", Iljinsky; "Pizzicato Polka", Delibes; "Andagietto - 'L 'Lar-leseinne", Bizet; Waltz, "Naila Ballet", Delibes; Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana", Mascagni; "Minuet from G Minor Symphony", Mozart, and the ballet music from "Rosamund", by Schubert, concluded the program. o DEBATE TRY-OUTS TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK FOR MEN AND WOMEN Interest in debate continued to grow this week as another veteran of last year's team, Lyle K. Summers, signed up for this year's try-outs. The two other members of last year's squads have intimated that they will not try for the team. The only other new candidate this week is Karl Decker. The.tryouts for the men will be held Thursday, December 12, when two teams of two men each will be picked. /The women's tryouts will be Monday, December 16, when two women's teams will also be picked. Those who are out so far are: Affirmative, Lottie M. Krumm, Claude Hadley, Charles Gerold," Eleanor Park, Bernadine Brown; and Karl Decker. Negative, Ray Craft and Helen Fitzwater. Undecided, Roger Reid and Lyle Summers. o- WORD DIVISION OF SONG CONTEST TO END NOVEMBER 30 Several Manuscripts Now on Hand and Manager Is Anxious to Turn Words Over to Musicians. CALENDAR to attend school next quarter will at this time be making out their schedules, this address comes at a time when it will be most interesting and helpful. June Burn, of the Bellingham Herald, Makes Normal Subject of Features In recent editions of the Bellingham Herald our school has had some flattering attention. Miss June Burn devoted two of her columns, Puget Soundings, to "interesting bits about former graduates'^and a survey of the campus, pupils, Northwest Viking and its staff. From Miss M. Belle Sperry of the English Department and Y. W. C. A. advisor Miss Burn learned of the former women students in the missionary field, the number of these surprising her not a little. Mention was made of other outstanding a-lumni such as Leo Brewer, commissioner of education in Alaska arid Arne Johnson, Ph. D., who has written a book about the schools in Denmark. Northwest Viking Praised. Miss Burn wished to find out just what activities were* going on behind the brick walls of the school and found out that the students "are doing fascinating things", by talking to students and faculty members. ^For an illustrative example she took the Northwest Viking. "Beautifully printed, skillfully made up by its editor, cleverly written by its staff of twenty-five, this little four page paper ranks third in the state among collegiate publications," writes Miss Burn. The University and State College papers rank above ours, of course, '.'in some ways" the author of Puget Soundings admits. With; some pride she mentions that sSsS^fiStellfeSS among 400 collegiate papers in the United States we won fourth place in a Columbia University rating contest, last year. "I'd certainly like to see the paper which took first place. It must be a brilliant publication." Miss Burn assertetd. Roy Sundstrom's Normalite Column was the mark for more of her praise and the large circulation of the paper impressed her. Admires Student Opinion. "It! is delightful," quoting Miss Burn, "to hear the Viking staff praise their school." According to Puget Soundings Miss Burn was in the Viking office talking with one of the staff members'Who told her of the "new and modern ways and ideas" promoted by the faculty and administration. With pride the library was talked of, the football that we've played, the coach we have and the tennis. courts. The courses offered here were enthusiastically spoken of by the student to Miss Burn. "The assemblies", he said, "are examples of how we do things," and "Our President is not only the president of the Normal; he is a leader in the community, too." Miss Burn was evidently glad to hear such a student opinion,, and concluded her last article by praising our appointment bureau, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Hopper.- '•/• •;'-•:..• v..:,: •• , .'.'•••;•' ..•'?'••;''' DYER CONFIDENT Saturday, November 30, is the last day for the word division of the school song contest, according to Edith Dyer, committee chairman, and immediately after the closing date the words submitted "by word writeps ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 November 27 - Page 2 ---------- mm WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH OOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wm Northwest viking - Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published weekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

You know—turkey, cranberry sauce, pudding, cakes, pies and all the other well known dishes that always accompany Thanksgiving. That is part of the day's meaning,'all right, but it isn't the well-rounded conception of the holiday. Analyze the word a little—Thanksgiving—to give thanks. Perhaps we do give thanks unconsciously. We feel happy, we are glad on that day (most of us) anyway. But tomorrow, give a little conscious reaction. If you've got a mother—you've got everything in the world to .bje thankful for. A father? No, we can't get along without Dad. You re in good health? Something else to be thankful for. Two eyes, ears and your other sense organs complete? Fine! What a lot you have for which to be thankful. You're a student here? Wonderful. You see? We could go on endlessly naming the many things we have for \yhich we can be thankful, besides all the good things we have to eat on that day. So here's to a filling Thanksgiving—may you know for what you are giving thanks. THE HARVEST FESTIVAL It is customary each year at this time to have a Thanksgiving program given by the Training school. This morning, the Thanksgiving festival put on, was one of the most originally planned and the loveliest ever attempted. The songs, the recitations,'the play in general, all depicted the spirit of Thanksgiving in its fullest sense. We should be proud that we have such an active group of youngsters, student teachers, and supervisors that can produce such a pageant and make it the success that the festival this morning proved to be. The training school is to tje congratulated. i o : A MID WEEK REC HOUR Just 10 cents! That isn't a very large sum of money to give for an hour's entertainment. At least you wouldn't think it was such a preposterous sum for an hour of dancing. The W. A. A. is giving a special rec hour next Wednesday, December 4, between 4 and 5 o'clock, and from rumors it promises to be a lively affair. A new (one you've never heard before) dance orchestra will play, and from the secret practices now being held, the orchestra is developing the snappy rhythm usually designated as "hot". Save up over .'he week-end, borrow, go without that milk shake, collect on some past bets, anything—but buy a ticket now or at least bring the money to the Jance that afternoon. In conclusion, we issue this one warning: It will be no use to even try to "crash the gate", so, if you want to dance, dig up ten cents. • . ' o SYMPHONY TRIUMPHS In its initial appearance this season, the Bellingham Little Symphony scored one of the biggest triumphs of the musical season last night in the Normal auditorium. In the rendition of all their numbers, the symphony showed masterful ;as'e, technique, and expression. Each individual of the orchestra is a :alented musician, so with all the members playing at once under the able leadership of Mr. Harold B. Smith of the Normal Music department, he effect was most gratifyingly harmonious and beautiful. - W e are very proud that so many of the symphony's members are Normal students, and because its director.is the chairman of our Music department, we feel that we have a personal claim to the civic organization. lt; V-:: : • O i ' FADE OUT FOOTBALL Does it .seem possible that football, the big* college sport is taking the •back seat? Somehow, it seems as though we no sooner get well under .'way in the-gridiron sport than it is all over.

Say, Don't let anybody fool you about this Thanksgiving proposition. We, in this column, make it a constant policy, to dish up the STRAIGHT DOPE. There is usually a huge amount of boloney being served out at this time of year about the deeper meaning of the Thanksgiving festival. IT'S BOLONEY. Thanksgiving is not a time to meditate upon the deeds of our forefathers, (they were probably quite decent old scouts in their own way.) Neither is it the single day in the year when one must recollect the things for which he is thankful, and calculate how thankful he should be. It is a time to head for home and greet the folks; a time to forget all the worries and bothers you have about studies or activities; and, incidentally, a time to forget anything they may have taught you up here about "Diet of a College Student," "Reducing Diets, or Proper Foods for an Athlete."

Maybe I should 'aoe let 'at bridge swing out an pass me 'stead of goin out around it. We swell with well-founded pride in introducing to you the latest addition to our office staff—Gentle Georgie, internationally f a m o us author, poet, and literary critic. Mr. Georgie has taken over the arduous task of preparing Shakespearean reviews for the convenience of hurried students. We cannot with any great certainly foretell just what he will do when he completes that series of articles. Mr, Georgie is entirely a self-made man. Born at quite an early age amidst the filth and slime of the slums! of Marietta, he elevated himself by sheer bluff to the high position which he now occupies in the literary world. He is, as are all the great, extremely modest. "I speaks," he will tell you, "a lingo which any bloke can savvy, see?" His poetry is most refreshingly different from the ordinary run. If; during the time he is employed here, he produces any gems suitable for publication, we have already obtained exclusive rights to them.

SOCCER ON DEC. 4, 9, 11 Tonight the first basketball game of the Class B league will be played betwen the Jayvees and the Blue Ribbon Creamery. The admission will be fifteen cents, and the struggle will be staged at the Y. M. C. A. Last year thte J. V.'s won the Championship. They can do equally as well this season if you give them your support. . The supervarsity played their first game of the season last night, • againsf the Roland Wreckers. This year the team is not as strong as it has been in the years before but may be developed into a winning combination in time. Last season the Supers easily.took the class "A" pennant. The games will all be played in the Y. M. C. A. and the changeis very small. With your backing the team may take the pennant again this season. The women's class teams have been chosen, captains elected and dates set for the three game tournament. For the entire quarter the lai-ge turn-outs have quite faithfully kept up practice and the intramural results indicate there will be a hard fight between the two classes before one emerges the victor. The Hockey line-up is as follows: Soph Pos. Prosh Babcock LO Zaddock Arnold LI Harden Sharps LH Squier Bendixon FB Thompson Zeran CH Winterburn Goodman (C) .... C Wiberg Swanson FB : : Miller Gnagey RH Bresman McMillin C Williams (C) McNeil RI Williams VanderGriend ,GG Sater The games are scheduled for December 3. 5, and 10. Soccer line-up: 1K1I111I1I1 JOHN DIXON Flash Dixon drifted to this institution from Everett and will probably be Sam Carver's best bet for the center position. Dixon made his letter last year on the Viking basketball squad playing center. Dixon's speed and agility on the floor along with his lanky form should boost chances for winning the championship pretty high. He received previous basketball practice through association with the Everett City Hoop league. OSCAR THORSEN Fairhaven High to Bid For State Grid Title During the past football season the Vikings piled up a total of 128 points against their opponents 57. Winning three out of seven games. Although the Vikings lost four games none of them were by very large scores, but when they Won a game they certainly rolled up the points. The training school has had a very creditable football team this year. They won over fifty per cent of theior games while last year they won none. The good showing is undoubtedly due to their coach, Ray Odell, who has had a large span of experience. Last week, if I remember right, I promised to tell you about the Mens Club informal. Well,. it Was as I predicted, "plenty" good! It was an unusually "slick" affair. The floor was so slick that all of us had a most difficult time keeping ourselves upright until we became acquainted to the new environment. Barney's orchestra itself was enough to make the dance besides all the other attractions such as the Mount Baker room, the roof "Gardens", etc. It Was without a doubt one of the most beautiful and entertaining dances ever staged by the Normal school.

Presenting a bewildering aerial attack, the University of Chicago had little difficulty in defeating the Washington Huskies 26-6 in their inter-sectional contest at Chicago. Benny Wattenberg led the Maroon attack by throwing passes all over the lot. Out of forty-three of these twenty-one wer pulled out of the air by Maroon receivers for a total of 313 yards. Washington seemed to be suffering from over-confidence and displayed none of the power shown against Stanford and California. In spite of this the Huskies made 14 first downs to 12 for Chicago mainly because of the efforts of Merle Hufford who reeled off 180 yards from scrimmage. The Huskies' lone touchdown came in the third period after, several runs by Hufford put the ball on the 17 yard line. Here a pass from ] Geehan to Marsh carried it over. The game closed a disastrous season for Washington. Al Holmes, a tackle, v/as elected captain for next season's eleven. o— • "If you gave me your telephone number I could ring you up." "Oh! The number is in the book." "Splendid; but what's your name?" "That's in the book, too." Sponsored by the University Post of the .American Legion of Seattle, the first annual East - West game between Washington high school teams will be held in the U. Stadium on Thanksgiving day with Hillyard high representing Eastern Washington, and Fairhaven high, of Belling - ham, upholding the reputation of Western football. The game promises to be an interesting one. Coach Lee Rankin's Fairhaven Grizzlies have had a most successful season, meeting with only one defeat, a 6-0 battle with Burlington. Fairhaven plays a snappy game, mixing passing with an end-running attack. Their running plays are especially successful due to the fine interference work of Toby and Haz-en. Evidently tackling and blocking work has been stressed by Rankin in practice because the men seem to be master hands at this business'. Hillyard Weighty. Coach Quackenbush's Hillyard Panthers evidently outweigh the Fairhaiven squad. Hillyard's fullback, Schuibee, weigh* over 200 pounds and is very fast, running the ends and smashing the line equally well Hadgins, a 180 pound half, is useful in a passing attack. With two full teams ready for action Hillyard will probably have a varied offense that will make things interesting for our Fairhaven. Hillyard is strengthened by the return of men who have been on the injured list most of the year. If this season's East-West game is popular it is the Legion's intention to invite two teams each year to play a Thanksgiving game at Seattle. Tickets are being sold in Bellingham and Hillyard as well as Seattle so the game promises to have a representative- bunch of rooters. Occie Thorsen, two-year letter-man, will probably be one of the mainstays on the Viking basketball squad this year. Thorsen is rated as one of the best guards in the Tri- Ncrmal conference during the seasons he has played the hoop game. Although chances look slim to put out a winning Viking Quintet, with Thorsen's aid, Coach Sam E. Carver should be able to produce a pretty fair hoop squad. o All-American Eleven To Be Selected Soon The girls of this institution need seme recognition.

The squads are as follows: Super- Varsity: Flowers, Carboneau Sanders, Dixon, Kerr, Rork, Warsham, Ped-erson, Nyberg and Shelton.' The Junior Varsity: H. McCleary, J.

Prospects for the 1929 ELEVEN Who are the gridiron heroes that are to comprise this season's All- American eleven? That question, undoubtedly will not be answered to the satisfaction of the many football fans who are voicing praise for their particular candidates. The dope-bucket has been upset in so many of this year's games that many prospective candidates have been over-shadowed by opponent players. This situation has stood out in the cases of Lorn of California versus Hufford, premier ball-toter for the Huskies; Saunders, U. S. C, versus Lorn for the Bears in latter teams upset the Trojans; Reigels, U. of C. center and captain, versus Barrager, U. S. C. center and captain; Usana, Pittsburgh, versus the strong New York eleven; Wood, Harvard; versus Booth, the fleet Yale quarterback; while the Mar-sters, Dartmouth, versus Booth, Yale, struggle was about an even break. Backfield Men There are a number of sophomore backfield men from all over the country who are attracting widespread attention and include some of the above mentioned individuals. This sophomore list includes Booth, Yale; "Shipwreck" Kelley, of Kentucky; Hufford, Washington; Griffiths, California; Pinkerton and Music of So. California; Burke, O. S. C; and this does not begin to cover the list. Others whose playing will be seriously considered are: Cagle, Army; Van Nice, Chicago; Sounders and Duf field, So. California; Fleish-hacke, Stanford; Savoldi, Notre Dame; Schwartz, W. S. C ; Casanova, Santa ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 November 27 - Page 4 ---------- I^HINGTbN STATE NORMAL SCHOOL lill§S M»ry McDonald Favors with Two Recitations That Are Unusually ^ Well Receired by Audience. ;; Friday morning, November 22, t he ; r e i ^ a r assembly hour was devoted to Women's League and Men's Club assemblies. The Women's League meeting w^s called to order by Jean Philippi, president, and t h e minutes of the previous meeting read by Mary Elizabeth Fowler. ^ Gladys Smith, social chairman, then presented several of t h e students in a short program, which included a vocal duet by Dorothy Walker and Dorothy Knuppenberg with Miss Knuppenberg accompany-ing at the piano. Aileen Hurlburt played a piano solo, and two readings by Mary McDonald were well received by t h e audience. Miller Speaks The remainder of the hour the assembly was addressed by Miss Marianne Miller, foreign language instructor at Fairhaven high school. Miss Miller, who was a member of the party conducted by Upton Close to the Orient last summer, spoke on the subject of her trip to China, Japan and Korea. Her talk, which was charmingly informal as well as informational, was mainly confined to a discussion of the appearances and social life of t h e Oriental cities. She gave an insight into some of the peculiar habits evidenced in the dress and manners of the people. Her talk was greatly enjoyed by t he women students. -o Social Science Club Has Initiation Party Monday evening, November 25, the Social Science Club initiated thirty new members at their regular session. The initiation consisted of a Social Science aptitude test which was a take-off on t he college a p titude test given at the beginning of the year. It differed in t he r e spect, however, that all candidates passed with A grades or better. The topic for discussion during the evening was "How Bellingham gets its living." A survey had been made by some seven members, relative to the business, industrial, financial, and professional life of t he city. Study Book. This quarter the club is making a study of- Bellingham in all its interests and activities, and are comparing this community in these respects to "Middletown," a book which consists of a survey of a city in the United States not unlike Bellingham in size, industry, schools and other ways. • o Training School Has Annual Harvest Play (Continued from Page One) wind races down from the hill tops, the grain waves to and fro. Now it has been harvested before the fields are blanketed with winter snows. There is great plenty in field and valley. The bins are overflowing with an abundance for all mankind. Let all t he world be joyous and give thanks to God for the fields of golden grain". Answering these attendants, the goddess replies: "The earth is filled with beauty. ' Let us give thanks for the beauty of the earth; for the orchards bending low with fruit; the heavily laden vineyards; the fields with their yellow grain; for the loveliness in hill side and meadow; for the food gathered in and protected from chills of winter. Man, everywhere, is singing out his joy for t h e beautiful world to live in. To see the earth in her great bounty makes glad his heart and teaches him to keep well in soul and mind—to think of kind things to do. We case off all sorrow and are glad in our joy". While the orchestra played "Rosa- ' munde" from Schubert, the presentation of t he gifts to the Goddess of the Harvest took place. Representatives from each grades, in slow procession, bore to the platform, offerings of fruits or vegetables. The entire school again •joined in singing a Czeck Folk song, 5'Song of the Merry Harvesters".

XXVIII—NO. 6 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, July 13, 1928 ALL-SCHOOL EXCURSION TOMORROW RESULTS OF SURVEY SHOW WIDE OF STUDENT Methods Courses Predominate in Answers to Questions; Technique, Observation Rank Next. ANSWERS HAVE VALUE Completed Survey Will Provide Suggestions as to Course and Figures to Show Extent of Need Answer to the questionnaires on courses needed most by teachers during the summer session which were given out in assembly last Friday,, cover a wide range and offer many valuable suggestions Results so far tabulated show, that from a group of two hundred fifty answers, methods courses, technique, observation courses, and cultural courses, respectively, seem to be in greatest demand. Next in rank, desires have been expressed for remedial work, advanced music, present day current events, course in classroom problems, and administration and supervision for principals and supervisors. Many other courses have been suggested but not with the same degree of correlation as those which have been mentioned. Method Courses Desired That method courses seem to be felt as the greatest" need by returned students is evident by the fact that approximately one-third of the papers returned expressed such a wish. Tliis, of course, cannot be taken to mean that one-third of the students prefer to take more methods during the- summer session than cultural courses because the question as stated asks what course they feel they most need. Perhaps if the methods course was given with five hours credit the student would have opportunity to take cultural courses to round out the program. * This illustration may be taken to apply to all choices made since the choice was to be made for one course only and that to fill the* greatest need. As to .the type of methods courses, suggestions for courses in grammar, history and geography as actually taught in the classroom seem to be predominant. Nearly every subject in the grade school curriculum Avas represented in the desire for methods courses. Many students did not express a desire for any particular methods course but listed their desires as for a genera] methods course. Some of the descriptions of courses are given as follows: "More material in modern or new methods of presentation of grade school subjects, especially co-ordination of work through problems or projects"; "A course which would acquaint a person with the actual methods of procedure in teaching different types of lessons*'; "How to make Geography and History more interesting and to eonnect.it with present needs of the pupils"; "A course in grammar as it should be'taught in the upper grades including actual lessons with students as participants." Suggestions on Observation Regarding observation and technique the following answers have been received aniong many others: "Observation of instructors conducting classes in all the-common branches"; "A course in practical school room problems with opportunity of discussion with other, teachers their methods of solving**; "Some" definite plans ' and methods of, teaching through observation of classes". Observation seems to "be desired by many students in some form or other, thus providing as suggested", opportunities to see plans actually in use and glean from them the ideas desired. • • • . ., A wide range of desires is evident from the return and it is impossible to take an expression from each field. There are those who are in- Large Party Expected To Make Mount Baker Climb Next Week I FOR SUMMER TERM RATIFIEDJBY BOARD Lectures Get $2.75; Athletics, $2; Student Recreation Receives 75c; Northwest Viking is Given 50c. RUCKMICK IS APPOINTED He Fills the Post of E. J. Arntzen Faculty Appointed Member, Who Leaves on a Vacation. Prospective Mountaineers Will Leave Campus Early Next Friday Morning for Kulshan Cabin; Record- Breaking Faculty-Student Group Will Make Trip. MERCHANT OF VENICE WANTS YOUR OPINION Vote, students! "The Merchant of Venice", collectively speaking, is in a quandry. Will you help him decide ? Shylock in a derby, baggy trousers, and an excess of Hebrew gestures, or Shylock in the old-fashioned Jewish gaberdine? Would you smile at Portia appearing in the latest cut Hart Shaffner Marx garment in the courtroom scene, or do you prefer her in a flowing robe, (borrowed from tlie local Methodist choir) and long white wig of the good old days? in short, do you see Shakespeare in the modern, or Shakespeare in traditional romantic'? Today is your chance to "tell the world" what you think of it. Shall we be the first school in America to present Shakespeare in modern costuming, or shall we .follow the custom of centuries in our manner of dress ? Representatives of School Will Attend Meetings The Northwest session of the Institute of International Relations will be held in Seattle at the University of Washington the week of July 22 to 27, 1028 inclusive. The institute has for its purpose the serious study of problems involved in international relations in the belief that an understanding of such problems is the greatest single need of the present decade. (Continued on Page Two) Work Arranged in Three Divisions The work of the institute is divided into (J.) evening lectures, (2) afternoon conferences, (;i) morning round tables. The special evening lectures will be open to the public without charge and will be held each evening at the University Temple adjoining the campus.of the University. Sunday to Friday, inclusive. Among the best known lecturers are: Arnold Bennett Hall, president of the University of Oregon, whol will speak on "Social Control and World Peace; also Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Stanford University; Willis J. Abbott, editor of the Chj;stian Science Monitor: Silas Strawn, president of the American Bar Association. * Admiral W. .V.;.'-Pratt, of the U. S. Navv.will A record-breaeking party of almost seventy-five faculty members and students is expected to make the trip to Kulshan Cabin and the ascent of Mount Baker next week when the Normal stages its annual climb to the top of "Kulshan,'' the monarch of the Cascades. Mr. Bond, Mr. Arntzen, and Miss George, faculty members who will have charge of the trip, are making preparations to have a large number of people taken care of when the busses leave the school campus at 5 o'clock Friday morning. The entire trip, will take three days, the first day to be spent in reaching the cabin, which will be the base of operations, the second in climbing the mountain itself, and the third, Sunday, in returning to Bellingham. After a- two-hour trip to Glacier by bus, the party will leave civilization early Friday morning for its destination, Kulshan Cabin. A stiff ten-mile hike, then the cabin erected two years ago by the Mount Bake]' Club and Bellingham Normal, will be reached. The cabin is situated (Continued oi Page Four") (Continued on Page Four) Losey, Shakespearean Reader of Note, Will Come Here Next Week Dr. Frederick E. Losey, famous as an authority on Shakespeare and as a reader of Shakespearian plays, will appear at the Normal Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. Each evening he will discuss one of the. most famous of the-plays of Shakespeare and then read it, and he will appear in assembly Tuesday. Whether he will lecture or read a play at that time is not known. Dr. Losey appeared here last summer and won much praise for his presentation of Macbeth, King Lear, and Julius Caesar. His presentation of -Julius Caesar and particularly his interpretation of the character of Brutus was especially praised. Although the full program is not yet announced, Hamlet Avill be a-mong the plays read. Dr. Losey is making a tour of the coast and comes here from Corvallis, Oregon. Dr. Charles U. Clark who has but recently returnee* "roni a tour of Europe, will be the speaker in next Friday's assembly. He is a well-known lecturer and writer on travel subjects, and i s a n authority oh European conditions. Dr. Clark is a lecturer who has command of the anecdote and human interest story and uses them throughout'-his books and his lectures. His latest book, '•"Bessarabia", has had a wide sale and has ben widely commended for both interest and the insight into the lives of the people of the peart, of Russia 'of which it treats. Herbert Ruckmick, member of the faculty in the Industrial Arts department, has been named b v President C. II. Fisher to take the place of E. J. Arntzen as faculty appointed member of the Board of Control. The appointment takes effect at the beginning of the fall quarter. At that time Mr. Arntzen, the incumbent, will leave on a vacation. The appointment was announced at the weekly meeting of the Board of Control, which occurred Wednesday morning. At the same time apportionment of funds discussed at a former meeting was ratified. This apportionment calls for a division of each $6 stu-: dent activities ticket fee as follows: Athletics, $2; lectures and entertainment, $2.75; Viking, 50c; social life, 75c. Approximately $6,000 will be available for the various purposes. That no one will be either appointed or • elected to take the place of Stanley Thompson on the Board of Control when he leaves school at the end of the first term, was the opinion of the Board of Control. Thompson, elected for a two-quarter term at the beginning of the spring quarter, has served one and one-half quarters of his term, but will not be in school during the second term of the quarter. Because the Board will hold but four meetings during that time, it is deemed best to leave the position vacant. At the end of the summer quarter two officers ou'-the Board of Control will be vacant, those being Thompson's place and the place of Mr E. A. Bond, faculty advisor, whose term expires at the end of the fall quarter, but who will leave school on a leave of absence at the end of the present quarter. No other vacancies will occur until the end of the fall quarter when a four-quarter position will bo open as Guy Spring-steel's term cxpii-es. The secretary-, ship of the Board will expire at the end of the summer quarter, this being a one-quarter position, but the office is filled by election on the part of the Board members. Roy Arnett, incumbent, stated that he would again be a candidate for the job. Concerning the trip to Victoria tomorrow, the Board took no action except to review the ticket sales up to Wednesday • morning and announce that if the quota was not filled by Thursday the trip would be opened to the general public. The committee chairman, Calvin Nichols and Frank Mitchell, were appointed earlier in the week by the executive committee of the excursion. Victoria Excursion Leaves Dock At 7 A.M., Returning 10 P.M.

The students of our school show very fine'spirit when they co-operate as they have done in regard to the library problem. It was suggested that more people use the general reading room for studying and reading. Since that time the conditions have improved. However, an arrangement might be made to relieve the congestion in the reserve book room by allowing students to take some of these books to the general room with the provision that they must be returned to their proper place in the reserve room at a specified time.—D. S. IN T H E LIBRARY. The friendly spirit which pervades our campus life is recognized as one of the most important factors in fostering school loyalty. Graduates always remember with pleasure their first days as students here, when they were immediatey impressed with the courtesy shown them by fellow students and by the general feeling of comradship which is so apparent throughout the school. We should be justly proud of our reputation as a friendly institution. Smiles and a cheery hello greatly influuence a new student's attitude toward his alma mater.—C. C. HARD LINES Careful, peoples! This is the day- Brag out your horseshoes, rabbit's foot, luck chjirm—cross your fingers —keep away from under ladders-hunt the four-leaf' clover—Say! uow, I'm not rally superstitious but—uh, oh! there goes a black cat—fcnocK on wood—Speaking of timber—I met a girl the other night—who claimed she couldn't bear to see a Cedar box— because she has., no., use for—prize fighting—Do you wonder that I— walked home? ' * « * - gt; * Excelsior! shouted the mountaineer, as he nibbled at a shredded wheat. F O R E I G N POLICY This is an age when friendly relations with our neighbor, not only localy but internationally, are necessary if we areto progress. If we have not formed an opinion as to the stand which the .United States should take on foreign policy we should be thinking whether or not this country should hold itself aloff or whether it should co-operate with other countries. This question holds an important place in . national politics. The International Relations Club, according to an article on another page, contemplates taking a vote on foreign policy. Are we ready to vote? T H E C H U R C H Q U E S T I ON Next to the cafeteria question is the one "Where is my church?" New students "may be looking for a church directory. The Viking has discontinued running one since 'the city papers carry an extensive list of religious institutions. Don't neglect to look up your churches in the other papers so we needn't feel responsible for spiritual backsliding this summer. E. H. ft —SHE— A Passing Fancy COURSES NEEDED (Continued From Page One) * terested in rural work and feel a need for special training in that line while those in art and music are also in abundance. Numerous papers express a desire for courses in social problems how to develop and assist with community life, and courses on the direction of extra-curricular activities Below are given typical answers to questions, which were not found in great numbers but are worthy of consideration. Wide Range in Desires "I would like to se a course offered in social problems dealing in methods to meet such problems as detrimental health deficiencies, degeneracy, and the problem of pupils of different races in one school where prejudices exist"; "A course and material that will broaden my education": "A course designed to im-proA- e self as an individual rather than as a teacher (this will follow), where emphasis is laid on the broadening effect rather than on mastering details of a subject":'"'Time to look up answers to my own questions and find what the library lias to offer": "Actual courses for rural teachers, where the instructor illustrates and proves her lectures on child students present." . Figures Calculated xVn effort has been made to give some concrete information in the following compilation of figures, which show approximately that out of two hundred fifty answers, ninety- five students find what they want already 'offered, seventy-two students do not find what they wish, twenty-six finds that the course mentioned i^ partially covered atpresent, seven are uncertain as to whether or not the course is now offered and fifty students did not say whether or not the course was offered. Approximately one-third of the students eligible to answer .the questionnaire did so. This fact detracts from the value of such a quetionnaire in that it does not give a fair representation. There are two ways of interpreting the fact that one-third of the students answered the question and they are either that the majority do not come to summer school to take some course which they really need, thus making them better able to give service, or that a great number did not think the question of enough importance to answer. Questionnaire Still Available Questionnaires are still to be had in the Viking office and anyone who has not answered one as yet may do so by going to the office and filling-out the blank. When all results have been definitely calculated they are to be compiled in a form to show what courses were desired and to what extent, suggestions as to the nature of the course, the number of students from each division that answered, the number who found the courses now offered, number who did not find them offered, number of students who evidently did not have any particular interest along with other available facts. The finished product will be available to faculty members if they wish the information. As to the definite value of such a survey the future will tell. Is it worth while to think about what you need as a teacher? Faculty, is it worth knowing what teachers desire? Eyes—blue, clear, sparkling, deep. Bracing as salt sea breezes that smart one's notsrils, as a glass of clear ale (ginger) lifted to the lips, as a patch of cloudless sky on a summer day. Features—devined, classic as a enisled cameo, fired by a radiance as warming as when the sun first breaks thru after a sudden shower. Actions—every little move a cute, unaffected loveliness. The tilt and toss of a shaggy head, the shrug of dainty shouliders, gay walk characteristic in itself. But come,-'rouse me from my dreaming. « * * * A JULY EVENING Summer sky—sun gone and reflections of gold, pink lavender retreating from the coming dusk—clouds a'poised, waiting for the wind. Distant horizon, deep, dark rimmed disclosing a vague outline of hill, tree, and island-wisps of smoke lingering over a tall lone stack. Silver sea, calm and quiet, mirroring the heaven's colors— steel greyhounds, warriors of the deepanchored in silhouted formation— blinker lights winking, funnels a'smoking—dinghies gliding about, making their trips to the shore. Why, yes! The ships are in port—the bluejackets are ashore. Hooray! lasumiper Meditations By J. P. W. A holiday cuts a pitiful figure. It is something like a member of the old order—a 'King, let us say, dethroned, unheralded, unpopular—a King who still wears his royal robes or drives in a royal coach, or has his name featured in the newspapers— but a Kino- who doesn't count. Seven thousand Americans crossed the border along the northern strip of Western Washington on the Fourth of July. In the old days no red-blooded American would have left the city on such an occasion. Fireworks, speeches from important personages, ceremonies, parades, exhibitions— all of the old glory that used to make up our annual Independence Day was very much in evidence. Today there is nothing with less life in it than a holiday. It is only another .Sunday, come in the middle of the week to upset the business man's force, mother to fix another j gt;icnic lunch, and the children to howl for a place where they can buy and shoot off fireworks. Only once in several years has it the kindness to come near a week-end. Then the business men and the students sing loud in its honor, pack up their things, and "go some place." That's all a holiday means to them—a blessing if it gives them three days' vacation, and a curse if it comes in the middle of the week. 1928 may be lucky because it is leap-year but, for holidays it is all wet. Fourth of July on Wednesday! What a nuisance. Yet day by day the list of holidays and days, and occasions that merit red letters on the calendar is growing.

B •i/ BOND O T T L E D Babes, Kfanks, Oxen, and Busters "I'm one of an army that never won a battle, I'm .a poor married .man." (sung to the time of the Married-Single men's track and field meet.) Inglorious defeat was spelled for the backers of the weaker sex to the time of 60-44, yesterday afternoon on Waldo Field. The events started off with a 50- yard dash, which was copped by the versatile Earl Hemmi, of the single men. He was closely followed by Ray Jewell with Franz placing third for the henpecked tribe. Hinthorne dashed in for first place in the 120 low and high hurdles and | Hogatt walked away with second places in both events. Ray Jewell managed to come third in the tape breaking order in the two hurdle events. The century dash found Hemmi again at the front, followed by Ray Jewell in second place and Hinthorne in third. The 220-yard dash was won by Hemmi Jewel second, Weisel third. The field events were about evenly distributed between the two rivals, . with first places being won in the high jump by Hogatt and Hinthorne who tied at 4 feet 10 inches. Ray Jewell of the free and single boys: javelin, and broad-jump while Roy Arnett galloped off with first place in the discus. High point honors went to Ray Jewell of the free and single boys, he gathered atotal of 26 points, closely followed by Hoggatt and Hinthorne of the ..ome-fire boys with scores of 20 tallies each. The most exciting event of the classic proved to be the relay run. Each team of'four men had to run | 440 yards, divided up into 110 yards N40 the man. At the start Franz, of j^lthe married men forged ahead of . Worby for a comfortable lead and VNiold it for his heat: the next two ^vnien kept ahead of the single men's N^entry and at the last 110 Hemmi Hwas about six yards behind. After fighting hard he overcame the lead and finished a good five yards thead of Weisel. The meet was featured by last sminute calls from both sides for men gt;to enter events. Pleas to enter a ^certain event were made by captains sat different times in a bewailing fashion, and after much coaxing the innocent trackster would nod his / head in the affirmative. Earl Hemmi vijproved to be a very willing pcrson- ^^ gt;age along this line, entering any \£^event if there was a man short. HOT-DARN; WHAT. WEATHER. The four rival baseball teanis are very evenly matched and as a result it is conceded that not one of the teams will easily down the other three. .However Baxter's Babies are doped to cop honors in the league. They probably will pick up the marbles and escort them to their proper location. They have the best-pitching staff, a good infield arid an excellent bunch of batters. It is rumored that the administration has taken " steps to procure heavy screens for the, front windows of the Infirmary of this school. The return of so many of these heavy . hitting ex-varsity baseball men to this school causes this action, as it is believed that the life and durability of the panes (pains) of the miniature hospital, which is directly across from the diamond, is greatly endangered. This rumor is further authenticated by the fact that it is said that Governor Hartley is even now on his way North to look into the matter. Await Start of the Baseball Season THEORETICAL FOOTBALL CHANGED TO PRACTICE • Coach "Sam" Carver has made a change from theoretical to practical in his football class that meets at 2 o'clock, Wednesday and Friday. The first part of the football coaching course was limited to theoretical football and a study of the football rules but starting last, week, the members of the class' pulled on the moleskins for actual practice in tackling, blocking, punting, passing and the other fundamentals. Later the course will include the play of the different positions in the line and baekfield as well as team formations. The members seem to enjoy hitting the dummy but Coach Carver reports that up to the present time no sensational prospects for next fall's eleven have been uncovered. TO A LOT OF FOLKS..

PEACE JOE, AND PLEASE FORGIVE A POOR REPORTER FOR DOING HIS DUTY. WINNERS OF WOMEN'S TOURNEY A QUESTION With the* first three men in the men's intra-mural tennis tourney now in progress, more firmly entrenched in their positions as a result of matches during the last ten days, school reequet weilders are waging a lively fight for ,the remaining positions on the ladder. Bob Fisher, Viking letterman, still holds the top position he drew at the start, Theo. Norby has defended his second rung against all comers successfully, and Earle Jewell has downed all challengers to his right to third place. In probably the outstanding match of the last two weeks, Bob Fisher defeated Theo. Norby for the second time during the summer by a 7-5, 0-1 score. By doing so, lie virtually cinched his court title for the third successive summer, as no other man in the tourney is considered strong enough to extend. Norby in second place proved his right to the position when lie downed Jewell, also for the second time,, in straight sets. Horseshoe matches are goino- slowly. Elsie Holland challenged Vinnie Moyer and defeated her by a score of 25-15, 25-18. This victory places Elsie Holland third from the top. She has challenged Bonnie Pickering and if she wins she will be placed at the top, with the possibility of the cshampionship. Vinnie Moyer has challenged Jeannette Heath and if she wins . she will hold the second position oh the ladder; '; It is really too hard to even spec-tulate on who will be the winner in the Women's Tennis Tournament, but Winifred Dalgity is defending her place nicely. On July .5, Virginia Bever challenged her and was defeated, the score being 6-3, (J-2. With this victory Winifred Dalgity remains second from the top with the privilege of challenging Grace Hess who holds the coveted place. Grace Hess, however, will have to defeat everyone who challenges her if she is to be declared the victor. Notwithstanding her lowly position on the ladder, Evelyn Craw is sturdily working her way toward the top, having challenged in a Rathman and defeated her by a score of (1-0, 0-0.

Both teams were at-their full strength for the deciding contest and showed a stubborn defense together with a strong offense which made this one of the best games seen here this quarter. The first half was hard fought and ended with the Co-ops leading nine to eight. The Thespians jumped into the lead in the first few minutes of play in the second half when they went through the Store-keeps' defense for three field goals. A rally lead-by Banner and Jewell tied the score at sixteen-all with only two minutes to play. In the fast playing that followed Baxter was fouled and dropped in two perfect free throws to give the Thespians a two-point lead. A chance to tie the score was lost when Banner missed one of two free throws awarded him just as the final whistle blew. Both teams showed good teamwork. Van Over and Anderson did most of the scoring for the winners while Baxter played a good defensive game. Ray Jewell led the attack for the losers with Banner also accounting for his share of the baskets. The lineup: " Thespians IS * Co-ops 17 Bond, 4 F. Bickford, I Van Over, 7 .... F.

Tuesday, July 17, has been set as the date for intra-mural baseball, and will see Bieghle's Busters lash with Kure's ilvranks in the initial league battle. The games, which will be played on Waldo Field at four o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays, will decide the championship between the four teams selected from the men students of the summer school. The managers ' have been busy for the last few days lining up their teams and scouting for new material. Actual practice is being held this week and the teams should be in shape for the opening games next week. Dan Bieghle, captain of Bieghle's Busters, has a likely looking squad that should give a good account of itself. Bieghle is at home behind the plate and has Ruthruff and Church as prospective pitchers. The rest of the team will be picked from Schneider, G. Bond, Duncan, Boyn-toji Schnebly Johnson and Fretheim. Kure's Kranks will, be- captained by the former Normal second baseman, and should have a strong opening line-up with such men as Anderson, Franz, Hoggatt, Lamphere, Bar-don, Brotnov, Van Etten and Hemmi OJI their roster. Baxter's Babies should be able to cry themselves through a successful season with" the veteran battery composed oi Patterson and Baxter. In addition, Baxter has E. Jewell, Norby, Arnett, E. Bond, Reardon, Bickford, Jensen, and last but not least, "1 Jennie" Mitchell. Okerluud's Oxen seem to be the dark horses of the tournament but a fairly strong team should be picked from among such men as Stewart, Fisher, R, Jewell, Brock, Stonehouse, Thomas, Gallenger, Vert, Groth, II. Bieghle, Gudmundson, Ok-erlund and San ford. The schedule for the season reads as J'oJows: July 17—Bieghle's Busters vs. Kure's Kranks. July 19—Okerlund-'s Oxen vs. Baxter's Babies. July 24—Bieghle's Busters vs. Okerluud's Oxen. July 20—/Kure's Kranks vs. Baxter's Babies. July 31—Bieghle's Busters vs. Baxter's Babies. Aug. 2—Kure's .Kranks vs. Okerluud's Oxen.

One hundred couples are expected to attend. PHILO PICNIC Twenty members of the Philoma-thean club motored to Lake Sarnish last Friday evening, after Recreation hour. Following a real .swim in the lake dinner was prepared over camp fires for the hungry crowd. A baseball game whose final score is still topic for debate, was followed by dancing at the Samish hall. The evening's entertainment was pronounced exceptionally successful. EDENS HALL Miss Blanche McLaughlin of •Whitefish, Montana, is visiting ifriends in Edens Hall this week. Miss Margaret Purdy of Everett, is visiting Miss Lucile Schwartze, of Edens Hall. Miss Phyllis Williams of Snohomish, visited at Edens Hall this week.

Policeman Appears In Social Ethics The class in Social Ethics wore an air of polite elegance as they heard the lecture on what is done among the best people, in the best clubs, and had come to the proprieties to to be observed wnen travelling. The whole social level in the room seemed to rise a little. There was a general assumption of certain poises expected to betray the eclat of each member of the group. Surely here was a flowering of the graces; a gathering of society's elect. Doris Brown held her eyebrows aloft, and Jeannette Maekie looked to the chic slant of her shoulders. So much for the setting. Imagine then, the flutter and fluster when a big beautiful policeman strode into the room in the middle of Miss Rosene's best sentences! Carrie Ann Tucker made a dramatic gesture of hands being clasped and unclasped a la Shakespeare! Wanda Lindley and Clara Strand forgot all about social ethics and actually gasped. (The man was really frightfully good-looking). Anna Benson dashed wildly back over ker career (she did it mentally) to remember possible lawlessness on her part. Bonnie Pickering, who has absolutely no interest in jails from the inside, slid over behind Mrs. Willison, who always has that innocent look. • Bei'tha Booth was the only calm, collected creature in the class and was just taking great pride in her unruffled-ness but she joined the general confusion that ensued when Mr. Police Force drew from an inner pocket a quart flask bearing a label that may have said something about "Bottled in Bond". An alcoholic smell pervaded the room. Evidences of destraction settled upon Miss Rosene as she accepted the bottle from the towering officer of the, peace. Yes, she received the goods delivered; she carried it into her office. And thereby hangs a tale, as the poet said. A cartoonist would have drawn the class in a myriad of question niarlcs. The policeman went out and a sigh went up, and Miss Rosene came back to earth and the lecture. (Note: But the class has remained in the air wondering about the tale. It is hoped they will see this explanation of the episode of the gurgling bottle),. The explanation: The Normal Laboratories make tests of wet goods confiscated by the department of law-enforcement. Hence the policeman and the bottle. After this it should be remembered that one can know all real bootleggers by these presents: They will have fur coats, town cars, country estates and all that sort of thing. It is a poor plan to jump at conclusions. Besides the prohibited traffic is not engaged in by the best families. o— EDENS HALL PICNIC One hundred Edens Hall girls were transported to Lake Samish, Thursday night, July 12, for a picnic. A program of swimming, games, and stunts was followed by a delicious dinner. Steaks broiled over small fires were a notable.addition, to the meal. Faculty members invited as guests were: Miss Johnson, Miss Skalley, Miss Powdermaker. Miss Peters, Miss Longley and Miss Winbigler. The affair was under the direction of Helen Sheckcls, who was assisted by Orlena Moore, Stephena Lunzer, and Francis Pettijohn. WEDDING Josephine A. Graetzer of Wahl, and Gordon Serrurier of Lyndon, were married at the Church of Assumption rectory, Bellingham, Thursday, July 5, at eight o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Serrurier graduated from Bellingham State Normal, and for / t he past two vears has been teaching at Northwood. ", - EDENS HALL GIRLS VISIT Many Sound cities were visited by Edens Hall girls this week-end. Ly-dia Swenson, Linnea Ehrlund, Anna Whillans, went to Everett; Helen Primley, Carrie Stewart, Clare Me- Reavy, Myrtle Knobel, and Blanche Kramer, to Seattle; Doris Monroe, to San de Fuca; Margaret Johnson, to Sedro-Woolley; Rachel Clark and Grace Cable, to Vancouver, B. C; Maxine Bishop, to Mount Vernon: Emily and Sylvia Anderson, to Port Stanley; Wilda Smith, to Port Angeles; Axelia Johnson, to Redmond; Re'na Bonlie, to Carnation: and Bonnie Pickering, to Novelty. -o—; •-— Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hoppe and children spent the week-end camping at Cottonwood Beach. Two short plays were presented by the children of the second grade in a training. school assembly held in the auditorium oil Friday, July sixth. The children acted two stories which they had used in their class-room and were "The Jackal at the Well" and "The Little White Rabbit that wanted Red Wings." The dramatization was entirely informal, was devoid of property, and costumes, and used no memorized dialogue. The children first read the stories carefully until they were familiar with them, then put their books away and in assembly dramatized their interpretation of the stories. Dramatization is part of regular work done in the room and following the plays they hold discussions of the play both as to things that were good and things that could be improved in it. An opportunity has been provided for the use of good English when acting before an audience, thus making dramatization a tool for corrective English as well as a motivation for reading. The shy child profits especially for in drma-tizing he does his part with many others of his group around him, and becomes tised to the audience situation. j .—o Children of the training school today shared with the first grade the joy they have Deen having with activities set to music when they Avere entertained with a program in PPPPP

W. L. • i f r II • •• ii •• • " • • • Right now 5000 thousand students from all over the world are meeting at Geneva, Switzerland, ..on that common ground to lay the fuonda-lions for an international fellowship among the nations in the''university world. Forming what is termed "Union Internationale des „ Estudientes". these thousands of students have designated Geneva to be a world center for the "advising" of higher learning. And what better place is there to study history, and this newer history of the future, than at Geneva? The offices of the Secre-ariat are crowded with students, eager to learn the pros and cons of complex political and social problems that are handled by eminent representative men and women of every nation. The International Labor Office attracts a considerable number of students who also have a marked interest in questions of economics and industry. Visiting statesmen are willingly at their call for special lectures, and the libraries and archives of t h e city are teeming with documents and source materials that hear upon the immediate tomorrow. Viscount Cecil, in a recent lecture to a group of student'members of the union, said: "What the world needs, is. an international mind, capable of seeing and appreciating the other nation's point of view. Cultivate this mind in youth of the world and the future will be free from w a r s . " ' ; ' ^ - 'r Today attitudes are different. In Europe student opinion has come to be regarded as a significant factor in the moulding of public opinion, and these responsible undergraduates are doing he thinking for t h e next generation—visualizing the - future—blueprinting the trends of tomorrow. And they are able to do this all t h e more because they are thrown into such informal contact with one another, not only in Geneva, but in the other university centers ..of the world. W. S. N.

S. • The Bureau of Education and the Radio Commission are planning to meet the broadcasters half-way in establishing a university of the air. Dr. Wiliam J. Cooper, commissioner of education, has recently conferred with the heads of two national chain broadcasting companies at their invitation, and the possibility of establishing a uniform educational program may 'cause Secretary Wilbur to call a conference to discuss and solve this new problem for the satisfaction of educational and radio authorities. — — W .

The U. of Illinois has tested more than ninety varieties ofNgrass to find one most suitable for sodding their football field—which is literally routing for the home team. tEXIEND CONTEST FOR m wm A Truly Representative Song That Will Express Traditions and Be Worthy of the School Is Sought TO CLOSE FEBRUARY, 1930 Although Some Songs Have Already Been Received the Committee Is Confident of More Contributions. (G. S.) According to rule seven, the committee has decided to extend the all-school song contest to February 1, 1930. It was seen that there has not been suitable time for everyone to compete in the two months given over to the contest; many people have complained of the shortness of time, and, and they expressed it, "I think I might write one if I had more time." The reason the committee has taken the step is because of their purpose to obtain a song which is not only representative of the traditions of the school but one which is a piece of art, something noble and worthy to be handed down to future generations of Normal students. It is recognized that to do this requires effort on the part of poets and composers of our school; hence the contest has been extended. Poems Only Accepted This leaves ample time and opportunity for every one to try his hand at a song during the next ten months. Remember it is not necessary for you to write both the words and the music. If the committee should receive some excellent piece of poetry they will see to it that it is set to appropriate music and the reward will be divided accordingly. There are two kinds of songs that may be submitted— a loyalty or activity song, which will be judged according to their merit by the judges as to appro-priatness, nobility of thought, and other literary qualities. Some Songs Received Those who have already contributed songs are: Philip Davis, who submitted three songs, "The Viking's Day," "Sea Rover's Song," and "Viking Battle Song;" Mrs, G. R. Olson, "Hail Bellingham;" Anonymous, "The College by the Sea"; Curthie Foster Brown submitted one song and Ethel Boynton and'Clarence Thue are both expected to offer contributions. — o Miss Lillian George, library cataloguer has recently filed several hundred new pictures in the files located in the conference room. These are of value to students in regular courses and are especially useful to student teachers. Miss Mable Wilson plans to attend the annual banquet of the Seattle chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. The banquet is to be given this coming Saturday, April 26. o — Ford Returns from Bookstore Dealers' California Conference Having returned last week-end from Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he attended conferences of College add Retail Bookstore dealers, Sam Ford, manager of the Students' Co-op, declared that the trip had proved to be a successful one. "Dealers from all over the Pacific Coast were in attendance," Mr. Ford declared. "And we had a chance to discuss our mutual problems and work toward solutions for them: I think that it will be possible for us to make several improvements that will further the interest of the student body in making the Co-op a place of real service." Although Mr. Ford was unwilling to comment at length on the proposed changes that will be effected in the bookstore, he declared that several developments may be announced next week, and asked that the readers of the Viking be urged to follow the new series of advertisements which will start in an early issue. o DANCE OF DREAMS IS FINAL INFORMAL Last Women's League Dance to be Presented This School Year Will Be Held Next Friday, May 3.

The spring informal is the last dance this group of girls will have an opportunity to give, and they promise it will be a gala affair. The Dance of Dreams is the theme being carried out in the decorations. The dining room at Ed-ens hall will be transformed into a dream-room with blues and wisteria hung in green guaze. Curtis' Orchestra Jay Curtis' orchestra will furnish the music for the dance. The music is planned to correspond with the idea of the dance. Programs for the dance are to be hand painted. They fit in very nicely with the scheme of the affair. Katherine Rood, who. is in charge of- the programs, has been assisted by the other girls of the committee in the preparation of programs. Over one hundred and forty girls signed up for the dance, but of the number only one hundred and ten can attend. In regard to this subject, Catherine Morse, chairman of the dance, said: "I regret that some girls must be disappointed in not being able to attend this informal, for as space in the dining room is exceedingly limited and there is no other place available. Hence the number of couples who can be comfortably accommodated must be limited accordingly." Girls on the various committees have been working hard to put the afair over. Johnny Byrnes is to be. host of the dance. —o " Sweepstakes Awarded Mount Vernon High Nineteen silver loving cups were awarded to the winners of^the different events and two large cups were, given . to the winners of. the sweepstakes prizes in the annual Northwest Washington High School music contest, sponsored by the Bellingham Normal school, with Harold B. Smith, chairman of the Music department, in charge'. Beginning at one-thirty and continuing until, five, last Saturday afternoon, the auditorium was filled with melody "fit for a. king". The program was also broadcast over radio station KVOS.. Sweepstakes Winners .With joy in their hearts and melody in the air the representatives of the Mount Vernon and Snohomish high schools left for home carrying with them the .coveted, silver cups which were awarded to them as winners of Glass A and Class B Faculty Hection H ^ Four Teachers Resign Positions President C. H. Fisher voiced the belief that next year the Normal school will have the strongest faculty in its history when he announced that ther will be about twelve new instructors, including those to be chosen to fill the places of teachers resigning and given leaves of absence. Most of the faculty for 1929-30 were elected Monday night by the trustees, Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman; Judge Noah Shakespeare, of Everett, and Walter B. Whitcomb. Four teachers did not apply again for positions . Research Director President Fisher says that among the places to be filled is the post of director of research, which was occupied by Frank S. Salisbury, who resigned several months ago to take a position with the University of Ohio. E. A. Bond, head of the mathematics department, will return to the school next summer quarter. He is at Columbia University working for his Ph. D. and has practically completed his work with the exception of his thesis. His place here has been filled since last September by Otto G. McDonough. .

"Quid sit futurum eras, fuge quaerere"; In this great Northwest, true to that quotation from Horace, there is no telling what the morrow will bring, but we hope it won't Be rain. ....Rain has twice interrupted our baseball games, but tomorrow the Norseman will probably play the University of Washington Frosh on a dry and sunny field with ninety per cent of the Normal student body rooting for the home team. That is our hope anyway. The Vikings have a good, fighting team this year according to reports, and should make the game an exciting one. We'll see you there on Waldo field tomorrow afternoon, 2:30. OUR P A R T IN T H E F E S T I V AL It is the job of the representatives of the student body, the Board of Control, to decide the Normal's part which is to be played very soon in the Tenth Annual Tulip Festival of the City of Bellingham. The concensus here relative to his annual fete has been since and including the last year, a wise one. No candidate has been sponsored by Bellingham Normal for two years, not Because of recent inability to put a candidate across, but because of the very opposite nature of a festival of this kind as related to a professional instituion. On the contrary, the Normal has often met with gratifying success in regard to Tulip Queen activities. The Board has considerations to make however. A parade-float, accompanying marchers, clean-up activity, decorations, are all important activities to decide on as a helping contribution to commemorate a decade of this great Norhwest's prosperity, which is relatively basic to our own well-being. Meanwhile, time has gone on. Thirty years have passed and Bellingham Normal may use this year to celebrate her thirtieth birthday anniversary. No better time, when in this noon-time of life, could be given over to the laying of a milestone. May 6 is Viking Vodvil; May 7 is Campus Day; May 8 is just plain Wednesday; but, May 9, 10, and 11, are the three days of the Tulip Festival. Hail, Vikings, Hail! A great jubilant week is at hand! — G O R D O N W. LEEN. S P R U C E U P — M E N ' S CLUB! Where there's life there's hope. Conversely it must be true that where there is no life there is no hope. Now the Men's club which was organized behind these portals many moons ago needs a whole lot of hope. And may the reader, if a male, also look deeper into the equation. You have found it? True enough—there is no life—then it is dead, plain dead. But to bie constructive, it is the suggestion of a well known faculty man to invite leading men of Bellingham to give us worth-while talks and entertainments. And, mayhap a smoker or two would be in order. The other normals with any male population at all give boxing entertainments. Local talent is available—that is a promise. If the club would have reason to exist, let's have interesting action from its executives very soon. — G O R D O N W. LEEN. H A I L !

So, whether you are to be one of the little girls on the stage that night, who is wondering whether her voice will be heard clear to the back of the big gt; auitorium, or whether you are just going to be one of the faces out there in the crowd, why not loosen up and give Randy a big hand before the curtain goes up, so that his show will be assured the support it deserves when the players hit the boards? •, . —R. C. OUT OF THE PAST BOOK REVIEW "Scarlet Sister Mary" by Julia Peterkin; The Bobbs-Merrill Co., publishers, Indianapolis, 1928. The black folk who live at Blue Brook Plantation are tall and strong and have heads "filled with sense." They have been there since slavery days, shifting for themselves and earning a living on the land that ; had belonged to their masters before the Civil War. Their black community has grown up—a village in itself inhabited by once negro i;; slaves, and their children and their ^children's children. ^•/%'It'was in this village that Mary i;?i';grew- up '"like a weed;" it was here £;that iMary worked in the fields; it li;was^ here :that Mary's carefree laughter mad? every day bright with that Mary loved a man; that Mary married that man and brought everlasting sorrow and disgrace to herself. Julia Peterkin, the author of "Black April," gives us a slice of negro life filled with negro superstitions and taboos. Ignorance and superstition withered and ruined the brain and ate out the heart of "Scarlet Sister Mary." Julia Peterkin has a quaint style that flows along in a pleasant way, filled with human understanding and darky philosophy. The problems of the negro and their lives are as complicated as those of whites. Julia Peterkin has given us that in both "Black/April Thirty Years Ago BELLINGHAM NORMAL OPENED ITS DOORS IN THE YEAR 1899, WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF NINETY - FIVE STUDENTS. THE FOLLOWING JUNE SIX YOUNG LADIES RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS. THE FACULTY WAS COMPOSED OF SIX MEMBERS. ALL OF THEM HAD CLASSES, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, DR. E. T. MATHES. Students were slightly handicapped for room accomodations as only four houses were then built on this part of High street. if it * * The first dormitory which was built two years after the Normal opened, was twenty-four by thirty-six feel. It was built opposite Mrs. Higginson's home but Was mooed a few years later to the site of old Edens Hall. STUDENTS WERE FORCED TO WALK FROM THE CORNER OF OAK AND HIGH, FOR ONLY IN SUMMER TIME COULD CARRIAGES COME FARTHER. The Normal sidewalk was built the first year. It began at the corner of Oak and Garden, ran up Oak to High, up High to Mrs. Hig-ginson's and from there diagonally across the swamp to the entrance of the building. The swamp extended from the other end of Waldo Field, around in front of the school building, and out to the present site of Edens hall. It was filled with soil from beyond the Edens hall site and with that of a hill which Was lowered. i gt; * * « The hill, which ends abruptly on Cedar between High street and the Normal drive, used to reach across directly in front of the main building. A little pond stood on the left side of the walk which was built high in front of the building and for some distance out. Mr. Kibbe once fell into the pond and for years after it was called "Kibbe Lake." Considering such incidents, the faculty always carried lanterns when they came to eight o'clock classes on dark winter mornings. There were forty pupils in the Training school. The nurse's office and the room just oppisite, now a locker room was then the gymnasium. The middle room of the old library, the only room finished on the second floor, was the auditorium. A reception was held the first of the year. Governor John R. Rogers was to speak but refused because the auditorium was so crowded that people could not make themselves comfortable. High street was not open in front of the Normal. The best that could be said for it was that it was a log-strewn trail. The supply of wood for the Normal had to be hauled during the summer months because the road was so bad. o THEATJRJEWS Jimmy Spencer, a native of Hawaii, who plays the role of an Eskimo teamster in the Fox films' production, "The Sin Sister", was formerly head of the Fox transportations service.

Axelson Is High Point Man of the Contest. The final total of the points made in the inter-class meet of Thursday and Friday gave the Sophomores a score of 77 to 53 markers for the Preshmn. Clarence Axelson, Sophomore, was high point man with 14 tallies. Axelson placed first in the 220 and 440, second in the mile and third in the 100-yard dash. The surprise event of the meet was the win of Carboneau in the mile run. The time, 4:57, was not remarkable, but the run showed that Carboneau has endurance and fair form. Another Frosh, O'Flyng, in running second to Brinkman in the two mile showed that he had good running style, but needed a faster pace. Bay Wins Pole Vault Curtis Bay, Frosh, did the expected in winning the pole vault. In taking a second in the pole vault and a third in the half mile, Eagan, Freshman, showed that he is a potential point winner. By running the two mile in 10:38.4 Brinkman made better time than last year's Tri-Normal winner. Given a fair chance, Brinkman seems likely to place this year at Cheney. Judging from the' results of the meet the squad is very weak in the hurdles, high jump and shot. Hemmi, sprint star, has decided to go in for the low hurdle event, but so far very few candidates for the high sticks have appeared. Capable men must be found for these events if the Viking track squad expects to hold its own in competition. Results of the meet were as follows: 220-yard dash: Axelson, S, first; Cox, S, second;, Hamilton, J, third. Time, 23.6. - Mile: Carboneau, F, first; -Axelson, S, second; Adkinson, J, third.

WHATCOM HIGH NINE WIN SECOND TIME Hard Hitting Aggregation of High School Players Beat Vikings in ^Practice Game, Tuesday Evening. • Still another time the Vikings bowed before the hard hitting Whatcom high school nine, in a seven-inning practice game on Waldo field Tuesday evening. The Vikings gathered up four runs in the first three innings, and then went runless for the next four. The Whatcom lads garnered their first run off Thorlakson in the second inning when they bunched three, hits, but did not score again until the fourth frame when they gained two more runs, principally on Viking errors. Then in the seventh stanza, they gathered two more runs off Thorlakson and his teammates, to win the fray five to ^foiir. •••.'.'•'• '••••;'• '^'^Thls: is theysecond.:;tin gt;e.';'.-the/Red^ j S k ^ h a v e d W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE CRAM HEADS TENNIS Best Racquet Wielders Meet Next Week and Some Fast Games Are (Promised by Coach Sam Carver. We see that the Sophomores, with the help of the upperclass-men, won the inierclass track meet last week. The relay was a revelation to the coach who is looking for some fast quarter mile material. * * * With the advent of real spring Weather last Week, there Was some good time made in the runs. Most outstanding in the longer runs was the time in the mile. Bobby Carboneau is going to make it tough for runners in that division. In the shorter runs, Axelson made the best itme when he ran the 220 in a little over 23 seconds. In all some good material was uncovered which should prove very valuable to the 1929 track squad. These balmy spring fever days are making the tennis courts a very much frequented spot. Between those who play for fun and those who have classes in the net sport there is very little chance for the professionals to show their stuff. However, the tournament players such as Joe Hermsen, Keplin-ger, Ham Church, Cordon Leen, and some of the other celebrities, manage to find a vacant hour occasionally in which they pound a few balls back and forth across the net, and call it a tournament match.

With the sun shining and the weather ideal the tennis tournament is well under way. Match play has been rather slow but Coach Carver has given explicit instructions as to a quick play-off, and since outside matches can not be played until the school tournament is complete, the boys have been rushing things. t Arthur Cram, by defeating Richard Ludwig, went into the first position. The scores were 6-2; 6-1. Command overwhelmed Springsteel, and moved up to the third post. Keplinger trounced Leen to the tune of 6-0, and advanced in the ladder.

On Thursday,.April 18, about 4 p. m. the editor, staff writers, advisor, and printers forgot their worries. In the seclusion of Miller Sutherlen's print shop, they conferred the time honored rites of initiation upon eight cub reporters. Heads Written The first hour was spent writing heads and in speculating upon the possible return of one member who had been sent out to buy refreshments. When, contrary to expectations, he returned, the business of initiation was taken up. It is rather unique to be initiated in a dark underground passage and the initiates will not soon forget it. Nor will they lt; forget their introduction to those interesting little creatures.. the type-lice, which flourish in print shops. Thousands of type-lice were driven from their peaceful homes among the type for the benefit of the cubs. However, the type-lice failed to discriminate between initiates and the others so the old members suffered, too. Hot dogs and coffee were served and the excitement continued until -it was suggested that everyone set to and clean up the shop, at which the party broke up and the members quickly dispersed. Which all goes to support the. old theory that a little nonsense now and then is 1 relished by even a newswriter. . —O : Miss A gatha Turley Pleases in Assemby Annual Music Contest Held Last Saturday (Continued from Page One) non band and orchestra, the Everett orchestra, and the Stanwood Junior League band were probably the best received events on the program, showing a fine interpretation of their selections.

Miss Turley has had wide experience in her career as a singer, which was shown in the remarkable'control and versatile richness •of her voice. Song Rendered Twice ;' "Sing Joyous Bird", by Phillips, seemed to be a favorite and as a result was rendered twic to an appreciative audience. "April.. Is ..a Lady" and "What's in the Air Today" were other compositions which received an enviable ovation.

Much consternation has been felt during the past two months over the decrease in the daily receipts at the cafeteria Each week has shown a smaller cash income than the last, and Mrs. Day, the manager, has been working on several theories but without results. Wednesday " afternoon a Viking reporter discovered the real solution to the problem: A reducing contest has been entered into by several of the more reducible lady members of our faculty. Each contestant puts up a dollar a week, and at the end of a four weeks period, the one losing the most takes all. None has proved herself to be the champion "good loser" yet as the two previous four weeks periods have been won by two different people. The present contest, however, will probably decide the issue, and all contestants are in high hopes of winning Another member of the faculty has been chosen to hold the.stakes (or should one say steaks?) and the third contest is well under way All we can say, since it is such a weighty proposition, is, "May the best loser win." r f f '—i-. ^O '• BARTON HOME BITS ;::';f Ruth-•Evans,, spent the week-end at hervhome in Seattle.

Owing to the shortened time, some of the program had to be omitted, but the songs that were given were enthusiastically received. Grieg- Favorite "To Brune Oine" and "Margaretes Vuggesang", by Edward Grieg, were unusually lovely. They were sung in Norwegian, Miss Wiiks' native tongue, and were splendid examples of her ability in artistic expression. 'The Lass with a Delicate Air," by Michael Arne; "Rain" by Pearl G. Curran, and "A Birthday", composed the last group of songs. Besides the beauty of her voice, the quaint personal beauty and foreign charm of the singer will remain always in the memory of those who heard her. o Sunday evening, Miss Adele Jones Jones, dean of women and who is now filling the place of Miss Johnson as social director of Edens Hall, entertained her group-at table with a waffle supper in her apartment, at Edens Hall at 6:30. Solemn indeed was the situation in the eighth grade of the Training school, April 22 of this week, during the trial of the School Service club, plaintiff vs. Jack Joly and Leslie. Higginbottom, defendants. Information filed in the Superior court on Monday, April 15, contained the charge of non-compliance with an agreement with the Service club to arrange, at regular intervals, pictures, cartoons, clippings and other forms of informational matter on the bulletin board in connection with their study of the social sciences. Prosecuting Attorney Virginia Penney conducted the proceedings ably, while John Oliver, attorney for the defense, also proved himself a worthy member of-the legal profession. The prisoners sat calmly observant, now and then displaying a flippant attitude and marked lack of respect for the court. After due deliberation, the verdict of the jury was delivered, and the defendants found guilty. Judge Ronald Vanstockum pronounced the sentence, committing the youthful prisoners to perform their bulletin board duties without assistance. o . M'COLLUM HOUSE , Dorothy J.

The Misses Krueger and Hopkins are teaching at the Whitney school in Anacortes. o VODVIL TRYOUTS Arthur Cram and Lyle Summers wound up a successful debate season by defeating Seattle College by a decisive margin in Seattle, April 5. The question was Resolved; That trial by jury should be substituted for trial by judges. No point was to be made over the number of judges. It was a cross examination and cross question type of debate which proves so interesting to the audience and makes it necessary for the participants to be thoroughly familiar with their subject in order to refute direct questions. Cram and Summers created quite a sensational innovation by debating extemporaneously, using no notes whatsoever, even in the rebuttal. Father Edwards, coach of the team of the sectarian institution, paid them the tribute of being the "best prepared and" informed debaters he had seen in action."
