There will be a meeting of the Seattle club on Thursday morning immediately after assembly for a few minutes. Bring your dues and an idea written on a piece of paper for the improvement of the club. Without these two things we can do nothing. The proceeds of the Thespian play of this year will be given over to some worthy cause in connection with the war. Nothing more than this is known at present. The exact benefit to which it will be given has not as yet been decided. MILITARY PARTY Tuesday. Feb. 19, at 4:10, in the bio gym, the' Y. W. C. A. girls will entertain the student body and faculty in honor of the new students, at a military party. Watch the bulletin board for the poster and sign your name and the division in which you wish to serve. Everybody save the date and come prepared to have a good time. ATTENTION Arthur Waldwyn Evans, the Welsh wit, and humorist, scheduled for our ly-ceum course on Monday evening. Feb. 18, will be a treat that none of us can afford to miss. He treats a deeply serious subject with the light fascinating touch of an artist and holds the audience with intoxicating merriment throughout the evening. It takes essentially the hand of a master to tell "What America Means to Me" in a time like the present and at the same time keep the audience amused. Mr. Evans' former success is enough recommendation but for those who ask more we might say that he is a relative of David Lloyd George, the British Premier; is widely travelled and thoroughly familiar with political conditions the world over.

MILLER RECEIVES I R E PRAISE FOR BOOK The following article was taken from the "New England Journal of Education," Boston. Jan. 17: "Education for the Needs of Life," by Irving E. Miller, Ph. D. "Through clear statements of clarified thinking along lines of real needs of the child .youth and adult life, the author is helpfully informing, intelligently, suggestive and inspiringly intensive. No one can carefully study 'Education for the Needs of Life" without having a broader vision of the mission and message of the teacher. It is a book which guarantees success through teaching and the vitalization of learning on the part of reader or student." KLIPSUN CONTEST PRIZES The Board of Control has voted to offer alluring prizes for the best contributions to the Literary Dopartm„n lt; of this year's Klipsun. For the best short story $10.00 will be given ;for the second best, $5.00. Other prizes are: Best essay on a current topic. $5.00. second best, $2.50: best poem, $5.00, second best, $2.50. The judges chosen for the contest are Mr. Glenn Hughes. Miss Mabel Zoc Wilson, and Miss Georgia Springer. Other details regarding the length of manuscripts and the time limit for their being handed in will be announced within a short time. In the meantime, the Literary Editor, Mr. Frisk, is anxious that a larger number of contributions should be commenced. S NEXT WEEK "Education for the Needs of Life" is the title of Dr. I. E. Miller's new book. This is also the theme of the Second Rural Life Conference which will be held the evening of March 20th, continuing through the 21st and 22nd. The program which is being prepared at considerable effort will be sent out in the near future. It consists of new films and no long waits. Every seat should be occupied before the lights are turned out for the first reel. Come for the beginning act and stay until the choir sings, "Hallelujah 'tis done." Lunch will be served at the building between scenes so there will be nothing missed by delayed jitneys, or by waits for the goose to be served when it had not been caught. Side shows will be conducted during the time the big tent is dark. One will admit the business man who wants to learn what psychology has to do with the price of foodstuff. Another will tell how to secure hard-tack in our own back yard, not at the front. A third will tell how to knit a sock that could be used either for a mitt or a helmet. (Continued on Page Eight) . STEINER'S LECTUR! IAL INTEREST A large and appreciative audience listened to the lecture by Dr. Edward A. Steincr on January Sth. He brought us an inspiring message, his subject being, "The Challenge of American Spirit.'" "There are others to be blamed for starting the war," said Dr. Steincr. "Peace canont come too soon, and as to what will happen when the war does end. no one knows. The future is a sealed book. "Most reluctantly this nation entered the war after closely watching the trend of affairs, and out of a peaceful people has come one of the most remarkable armies of the period. Neverbefore has there been a cleaner, braver, finer set of men in the cantonments under the stars and stripes, than there is today. This nation is a more unified and well moulded structure than can be found among the other nations. For example, the Germans are hammered together an-1 not moulded. The United States is politically united and even the one-third of our population are of foreign blood, yet we are trying to make a people out of many nationalities. The determining fin-tor if one is an American is not that lie was born here, but born again after coming here. It is spirit rather than blood. "The two factors which make a nation hold its people, are its language and its history. This country is destined to be an English-speaking nation. It has remained triumphant, and has crept into the speech of the foreigners. "America is a history of people—not of kings and dynasties." Dr. Steiner paid high tribute to Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Taft. Byron, Wilson and other Americans and he said that the people arc as ready to thrill at the sight of the Stars and Stripes as they ever were. L LIFE CLUB So many are asking of the schools of the state, that plans be worked out in harmony with the country's needs. This, in brief, is the plan proposed by the Rural Life Conference which will be held in the Normal School, Bellingham, Wash,. March 20-21-22. Sections will be arranged in which definite, practical relations will be discussed. The business man will discuss Education in Business. Educational Methods in Religion will have a place; war cooking and war sewing will be demonstrated; in short, every phase of the needs of the country will be on the program. Supt. Ethel Everett of Whatcom County, has decided to have all of her teachers present for the full time. At least two other counties will assist by having part or all of their teachers here. A STORY THAT THE CENSOR 1 NOT SEE There has always been a ieeling that the fields are greener far away—and we never recognize the geniuses with whom we come in contact da/ by day. Clever students of human nature sometimes keep their discoveries hidden from view and pursue their daily work on equal footing with the most commonplace. I have before me a widely circulated eastern magazine, with a very strong article entitled, "Home and School," written by Professu gt;- O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin and when I had finished reading it, I turned the pige* and my eyes fell upon this title, "Her Eldest Son," a short story, fully illustrated, beautifully written, and charmingly told by our own Olive Edens. I knew this would interest the students, and I knew also that Miss Edens is literary critic for the Messenger, and again I know if she sees this article that it would come to an untimely end in the waste basket, so I am taking a chance and putting one over on Miss Edens by handing it in without her criticism. On Lincoln's birthday the Junior Red Cross campaign began with a program in the assembly. The campaign will be waged for the next ten days, ending with Washington's birthday, and it is hoped that during this time many ?ie\v members will be added to the organization and greater interest shown in it.J. work. In the past week the. grammar grade girls, with the aid of a few Normal girls, have completed four little dresses for Belgian children. CHORAL CLUB CONCERT Mrs. Thatcher gave another one of her creditable concents Friday evening.

President Nash's opening words were of appalling and dreadful import. The morning papers had stated the opinion of one Mr. Russell, American envoy to Russia, concerning the probable supremacy of Germany's arms as a result of the Bolsheviki treaty with that country. Dr. Nash admitted the seriousness of the conditions in regard to the safety of Democracy and Democracy's Allies. But he also affirmed his optimism, saying that the United States will win, she must win! But oh! the need of the help of even the least of us who live under the Stars and Stripes. Our first duty is to keep up courage and hope in the breasts of our soldiers—a thing that lies in the power of us all. These few words served as an introduction to the talk of Mr. Short, a resident of Bellingham, a patriot seeking ways to help the "boys." After a brief discussion of our soldiers' need of relaxation from their hours of toil, and what this recreation means to them, he gave to us a tangible means of bringing to the camps a little of innocent cheer. All Yankees are lovers of the modern "movie"—the place where one may go and live many lives in many countries, and forget the narrow confines of daily labor.

He held up before the students tiny books which contained twenty different worldly careers, twenty different experiences of human lives, twenty different meanings, joys and sorrows. He offered these for sale at the small price of $1.00 which will help America in her crisis to avert the onslaught of the bloody, vicious Hun. Our dollar will send these twenty shows as messengers of love and cheer to those who long for them so much. We know that Mr. Short's endeavors will not be fruitless. Mr. Short was followed by Rev. Duncan McPhail of the Baptist church oi this city, who gave a very appropriate and original speech on Lincoln and his work for humanity. His opening word?, full of promise, hope and truth, were, "In the New Testament we find that a man was sent from God whose name was John." He went on to say that that has been God's great gift to mankind all through the ages; every generation or so he sends a man of Godlike principles to emancipate and bring the people to a little higher civilization and intellectual progression. In the time of the Dark Plague of Uncle Sam, a man of God appeared whose name was Abraham Lincoln. The anecdotes of his honesty are so well known, that Rev. McPhail did not think it necessary to say any more than, "The proverb is true in all instances; 'honesty is the best policy !' " He then described Lincoln's industry, in words which led us to recognize the stupendous blessing Lincoln's words portended, when he said, upon seeing the slaves, "If ever, by the help of God, I am able to strike a blow against this nefarious practice. I will do so and do it hard." He was shocked at the suggestive fact that these poor creatures were able to sing and be jolly amidst their degredation; that they had become as dumb brutes satisfied- with brute treatment. Well, by the help of God he did strike a blow and one that, resounded and echoed through the world. His common sense showed most plainly in his knowledge and treatment of human nature—his tactful intuition in the use of his tongue. When asked at one time his opinion of Sheridan,- his words were, "Sheridan, Oh! Sheridan! Well, I will tell you what I think of him. He is one of these men with long arms and short legs who is able to scratch his shins without stooping. That's what I think of Sheridan." What meaning his empty words conveyed! His mercy is the quality which healed the nation's wounds and refined the nation's people. Rev. McPhail's quoting of Portia's famous "Mercy Speech," never came in more apportunely. His faith was strong and true. When discussing the surety of God's being on the side of the North, he replied, in his great, gentle voice, "It does not worry me if God is on our side; the supreme question is whether we are on God's side." The Double Quartet report that they have had delightful times at the various places where they have sung. Last Saturday they had an especially enjoyable evening at Laurel, while on Tuesday they were at Eureka. Ella Wilken and Heloise Eggers look rather lonesome without their chafing dishes.

THE EXCHANGE A LIVE WIRE Have you seen the "Exchange?" It is a little paper published right here in our print shop in the interest of commercial work, home economies, rural school and industrial arts education. Mr. Scudder, the editor, says he is only the middle man for the exchange of ideas, and is encouraging the teachers now in the field to tell through the paper how they are solving their problems. Besides this valuable correspondence the paper contains valuable manual training projects with diagrams for making, and other interesting features. the program of the Canadian Club last Friday evening. Margaret Burnhatn Several of the students took part in gave a vocal solo, Hazel Huntsberger a reading, and Willard Yerkes a cornet solo.

RURAL LIFE " A club that is successfully training its members for future teachers, in more lines than one, especially parliamentary drill, is our Rural Life club. After our sectional meetings on Thursday, Feb. 7, we adjourned to the main assembly room for our business meeting and program, where a delightful evening was enjoyed. In the absence of Rudie Oltman, who has enlisted in the navy, we elected Myrle Onstine chairman of the membership committee, and Herbert Davis as vice-president of the club. Mr. Klemme, who has been away on extension work, was given a hearty welcome back into the club. He gave us a most stirring talk on the requirements of the rural school teacher. Miss Keeler then told us, in a very clever and interesting way, the history of our club gavel. The gavel was then presented to the president by Lael Eas-terbrooks. This being "Lincoln night" in our club, an especially good program was given: Some interesting incidents of Lincoln's life—Ruth Swartz. What we owe to Abraham Lincoln- Margaret Murray. FOR SEATTLEITES ONLY Act. I. Bellingham. Scene—Normal school. Halls, classrooms, groups of intelligent, superior-looking people around mumbling to themselves the following: "We are from Seattle, but if you value your life don't tell anybody. We are ashamed of it and have succeeded Glasses, once the sign of age, are now the sign of good sense. If you cannot study with eye comfort the sooner you consult Woll the better. 205 West Hollv Street. splendidly in keeping the awful fact almost universally unknown since September. We must admit we did thaw out once for College Club night bur, hurried right back under cover." The year will soon be over now and if we can only keep up our past record and if our rubber-soled shoes don't wear out, we will be able to pat ourselves on the back, draw a big sigh of relief, as we stealthily step on the night boat and say, "Thank goodness! • a whole year at the Normal and nobody knows where we're from!" And then we will put our hands into our pockets and with miserly joy take out the quarter that we saved the last semester. We will look at it. turn it over and over, bite it maybe, and say to ourselves nobly, but perchance a little sadly, "You little quarter—my dues for last semester, it was you who made the Seattle club' die, it was you, with my help^ who made it the worst club in school when it ought to have been the biggest and best; we are pretty poor little boosters, you and I." We shall think what we might have done, the friends we might have made—had we had the interest we ought to have had in our club. THESPIANS MEET A rare treat was given the Thespians at their last meeting when Miss Eden.s delightfully told of some of the theatres and plays she had seen while in England and France. The following officers were elected: President—Johnny Miller. Vice-President—Marie Armstrong. Secretary—Myrtle Pugsley. Treasurer—Rainhardt Hanson. Sergeant-at-Arms—Paul Washke. Messenger Reporter—Helen Upper. WEIR INN Mabel Trafton spent the week end at her home in Anacortes. Emmet Tupper is visiting his wife, who is attending Normal.

Games were played, after which came "eats" long to be remembered by all those present. One of the main features was a snowy-white cake adorned with twenty red candles. Frances blew them out with two puffs. Wonder what that signifies? The girls at the Cedars are much interested in war cooking. Anna Brown has made a sjjccialty of cornmeal muffins. She will be glad to give all of those so desiring a sample, as she still has a quantity to spare. Spring is surely on the way. Jewel Smith and Marian Osborn are already planning their gardens. Virgil Ranton and Elizabeth Gwinn were callers at the Cedars during the past week. Two lost dogs have made their home at the hall. If the owners will call for the canines, no reward will be requested. One girl among our crowd, Marian Osborn, has distinguished herself by going to bed before ten o'clock for the entire past quarter. DON'T MISS n ew Gas and Wood and Coal Range.

The person who is always giving a piece of his mind is usually the person who has the least mind to spare—Anon. VIRTUE AND HABIT Too many people have the idea that virtue is worth while only when it is on exhibition. Note, for instance, the expression "company manners." Should a person be any less courteous when hi? does not have visitors than when lie does? Does he mean to say, by this expression that he does not bother about being polite when no one is watching? We have seen this same style of reasoning in other things. A few days ago a student was rehearsing a recitation to be given in public, and when it was remarked that that person's standing position was not good, the reply came, "Oh. this is only practice, I'll stand correctly when I get on the stage." Here is where so many people make a serious mistake. They do not realize that if they cultivate good habits in private these habits will follow them into public, and that bad habits will-do the same. The formation of good habits involves the study of self, the untiring correction of bad habits, and the repeated performance of acts that are as difficult in their accomplishment as they are worth while after they become habitual. So all progress is made in the development of the. individual. After he has mastered one good habit, and made it a part of himself, he is ready for the next, and so he builds himself up. Some one has said that the individual is one great bundle of habits. If this is true, it makes some difference whether the habits are .good or bad, and we readily see what we are doing for ourselves every time we acquire a good habit. "WHAT WE NEED IS SHIPS" Comradship Comradship is a large word, a large-hearted word, that makes of one "his brother's keeper." It is one of the EDIMIA1S sweetest things in life, and having the spirit of comradship covers often a multitude of sins. There are persons who do not discriminate carefully, that imagine that •'•'chums" arc "comrades," but it is a serious error. We may be '•'chummy" with a few people and lack the essentials of comradship utterly. And what is this comradship then that is so desirable? It has three distinctive characteristics, namely, helpfulness, or service, not to a few,—our friends, but to whomever we may meet; unselfisn-ncss, not counting the cost to yourself for serving; and cheerfulness, which gives a sweet savor to the whole. Easy to acquire, and simple in nature, isn't it? It is the characteristic of a good soldier, of a true friend, of a successful student, and of thorough gentleman or woman, the world over. It belongs to the one who lias a cheery "good morning" for every fellow being rc-ing regardless of station, ability or personal beauty; to the man who slaps his employee on the back and says, "Your wife better this morning, my man?" To the man who lifts as gently from the dust a homely dressed, ignorant woman, as a charming, pretty girl; to the soldier who shares his last drop of water in "No Man's Land." Indeed, it is the true spirit of the Christ as it seeks to dwell in men's hearts, and when the world around, there lives in the hearts of the individual his comradeliness, the great Brotherhood of Man will be established with peace on earth. Be a comrade to the one who rubs elbows with you. whether he be a dear friend or whether you hardly know his name. But of all the ships, comradeship is the best, for it includes us all. WHY! The other evening As I was walking Down the street Meditating Upon Rev. Conwell's Lecture, it seemed to me There was a great And urgent Need Right here Under our noses in our own Normal And wondered why Bill Edson, Or some one, Didn't get busy And make his Name famous, His memory Honored And commemorated And blessed By student Teachers, For such honor Awaits him Who invents An automatic Lesson plan writer. —G. M. Lvon. S Q U I B S We would like to know who induced Crete Gray to join the Sparklers' club. Phil Montague has decided to not "visit" Miss Boring's Social Science class in the future. We would like to know why Gig Davis is all dolled up like a million dollars. A student jokingly said to Mr. Kibbe: "Is your hair dyed?" Mr. Kibbe replied, "Yes. most of it has." They say Miss Cummins is an expert shot with a rifle. Perhaps that explains her power as a disciplinarian. Miss Georgia Springer has been chosen student judge of the literary work for the Klipsun. We know of no student more capable. Jessie and Vera Merchant spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Madsen at Lyn-den. They say it takes seven dollars' worth of fuel to heat the big assembly, and we are wondering what is being done with the other six dollars and ninety cents. In spite of the fact that war cookery is required, the student body is much interested in the work. Miss Ormsby is easily the master of the unusual situation, and apparently finds no more difficulty in handling a class of seven or eight hundred students than is ordinarily experienced in a class of twenty-five. With her skill and personality, Miss Ornisby inspires a desire to make use of all the demonstrations she gives, and it is generally admitted that all of the students are interested and are finding the results satisfactory as well as profitable, when cric-f" out. He—"Why is Carver like a Pullman car ?" She—"I give up." He—"Because he's some coach. Mr. Beaver:—"Before I begin to talk, there are several things I want to say."

PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 February 16 - Page 6 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1918 AMONG BOOKS By Glenn Hughes VI. Arnold Bennett:—It seems almost an insult to one's intelligence and education to be told facts about Arnold Bennett, and yet there may be a few individuals to whom the name is unfamiliar. This English writer of the younger generation has been in vogue for approximately ten years now, and has been discussed in magazines and drawing-rooms and class-rooms at quite regular intervals during those years. Estimates as to his place in modern literature vary widely— due in large measure to the fact that his style and literary method are in some points extreme. Every one agrees, however, that now and then at least Bennett has hit a high water mark of fiction. Disparaging criticisms arise mostly from those who dislike journalistic qualities in literature—for Bennett is a first-rate journalist. There is little doubt but that "The Old Wives' Tale," a novel of considerable length and detail, is Bennett's masterpiece of writing. The conception of the1 work, explained interestingly in the author's preface, is an original and daring one; the execution is certainly an amazing product. It came near setting an entirely new model of realism. The reader is astounded for months after he has Had the book aside, at the ability of a man to carry him through several hundred pages of sordid and woefully commonplace details, and then leave him with the sense of having read one of the great tragedies of modern literature. This is exactly what Bennett succeeds in doing. There is no use attempting to deny the presence of great art in this work. Another of his important contributions to the late novel is a triology—a fine STUDENTS If you are going to have photographs made, why not have quality and good workmanship. It is this that gives our photographs a style and finish, lacking in the most of work turned out.

Patronize Your Next Door Neighbor Our Goods and Prices are Right L set of narratives, with superb characterizations— going under the titles, "Clay-hanger," "Hilda Lessways," and "These Twain." The three were published separately, in their chronological order, and excited considerable interest and suspense on the part of English and American readers. (For it is only fair to say that America really recognized Bennett before England did; and this is a rare occurrence. Three or four years ago Bennett made a trip to the United States, his first venture, and his keen wit was impressed in a most fascinating manner. His reactions to our institutions, our supposedly native characteristics, and our large cities, are recorded in vigorous, colorful style in a volume called "Your United States." It is on the travel shelf in our library. Bennett as a dramatist is known chiefly by "Milestones," which is not purely his, as Arthur Knoblauch collaborated with him in its creation. However, there are three other volumes of Bennett's plays on our shelves. "The Honeymoon" is a three-act comedy, "What the Public Wants" is a four-act comedy-satire, "Polite Farces" is a collection of one-act drawing-room comedies—comedies that act well and read rapidly. They all contain a sufficient .number of laughs to justify them. As an essayist, this versatile writer is exceptionally successful. He adopts a breezy, familiar, superficially clever style in order to catch the tired business man and the casual reader. He cannot turn mental flip-flops as can Chesterton or Shaw, but he can illustrate hi3 ideas with a convincing punch, and that is all that one can ask of a novelist and playwright. "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is his most popular collection of prose discussions. The contents of this thin volume are as ingenious as their title; they also contain much good sense. "The Human Machine," and "Mental Efficiency are of the same type, but arc perhaps more studied in their methods of expression. Here, of course, Bennett is the dyed-in-thc-wool journalist— tricky-, verbose, obvious, exaggerated, but withal, sincere, witty, and pleasant reading for the seashore. TO MOUNT BAKER Oh lofty form, so snowy white, Crowned with the morning's purest light; Wilt thou not tell me from thy height What is the secret of thy might? In Winter's mists or Summer's haze My eyes to thee I love to raise And as I fondly gaze and gaze For thee my heart is full of praise. And when the mist they glory hides, And o'er thy form the storm king rides: Yet will I still in thee confide, For thou are firm whate'er betide. Thou art a balm for human woe And on us beings here below Thy kindly smile dost free bestow, As from thy base proud rivers flow. Oh, noble pillar of the skies— God made thee from the earth to rise; Thy being with His wish complies, And in thy robes no evil lies. —E. Kobelt. THE WORLD HATES A HATER E. J. Klemme Drummond says: "Love is the greatest good in the world," then hate, its opposite, is the greatest evil. Love warms, hate freezes. Love attracts, hate repels. Love speaks in the sunshine of life; hate is seen in the dark clouds and furious storms. All the world loves a lover and hates a hater. Love nourishes alike the loved and the lover; hate wastes both the hated and the hater. When hate comes creeping into your life "think straight" and because of the damage it inflicts both to the giver and the receiver, straightway force it out of your thought. Hate hurts the hater more than the hated—the latter often refuses to admit the hate. Procrastination is a virtue when applied to hate. Never hate today if you can put it off until tomorrow. If you have recently sent out little darts of hate, chase them and change them to angels of love or bury them forever. Do this, and you will clearly understand what William Lloyd Garrison meant when he said, "I have always with me two constant companions—a cheerful disposition and a clear conscience." We wonder how many of our readers have ever read the following poem on our school, written by Fred Prouty, a local journalist and poet. The Messenger takes pleasure in giving it space in our literary department.

Sometime they stand in serried rank, Or lone upon some river oank, Or in the ooze of marshland dank, Our friends, the giant trees. To me, their friend, it matters not I count them best of all I've got— Their presence doth me please..

Four are below the eighth grade and one takes high school work. There have been several schools in western Jefferson county, just around her, where there has been but one pupil in the grades. (My sister is teaching such a one now.) The schoolhouse is just about half way between the Olympic mountains and Pacific ocean. It is situated on the south side of Hoh river and on the north side of a ridge of hills, so that for two or three months in winter the sun only comes up to the tree tops. We have had about two clear days since last fall, and a few sunshiny spells during some days so as to get some fine rainbows. The most of the time it has been rain, rain, rain, without any bows. We get twelve or thirteen feet of rain a year. We have had only six or seven floods this winter. Trails and bridges suffered quite a lot. This is a very well settled community, there are two families and six bachelors all within twelve miles!" ESTELLE BURNSIDE WRITES FROM STANWOOD, WASH.

Presently she said, 'I wanted mamma to let me wear my new dress today for I knew you were going to be there to teach us.' I asked her how she knew I would be there, and she calmly replied that it was all over town. I like teaching one grade a great deal better than teaching mixed grades in a rural school. I am teaching all of the subjects except music; one of the other teachers teaches music for me. One of the high school teachers had been teaching the penmanship but I shall have it from now on."

AFTER SUNSET I have an understanding with the hills At evening when the slanted radiance fills Their hollows, and the great winds let them be. And they are quiet and look down on me. Oh, then I see the patience in their eyes, Out of the centuries that made them wise. They lend me hoarded memory, and I learn Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern, And why a dream of forests must endure Though every tree be slain; and how the pure, Invisible beauty has a word so brief, A flower can say it, or a shaken leaf, But few may ever snare it in a song, Though for the quest a life is not too long. When the blue hills grow tender, when they pull The twilight close with gesture beautiful. And shadows are their garments and the air Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer. Their arms are strong around me; and I know That somehow I shall follow when you go To the still land beyond the evening star, Where everlasting hills and valleys are, And silence may not hurt us any more. And terror shall be past, and grief and war. —Ex. From your neighbor you need not borrow The lesson he has learned, But rather, study till the morrow, And have your knowledge earned. R. B. O.

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG The position of the flag is aloft, from a pinnacle of a building higher than th lt;- gt;. furniture of a room, and above the one carrying it. Tlie flag must not be raised before sunrise nor remain up after sunset. In raising or lowering the flag, it must never be allowed to touch the ground. When the flag is raised formally, all present should stand at attention with hand raised to forehead ready to salute. When the colors are passing on parade, spectators, if walking, shall halt; if sitting, arise—and stand at attention. The flag hung out of doors should always fly to the breeze, preferably from a pole, and should never be fastened co the side of a building, platform or scaffolding. The flag should never be placed belo^v a person sitting, nor be used as a cover for a table, desk, or box, nor should anything be placed on it except it be a Bible. The flag should never be placed where it will be struck by a gaval. The flag should not be worn as part of the whole of a costume. When worn as a badge it should be small and pinned over the left breast or on the left coat lapel. The flag should never be washed. When worn or torn it should be reverently burned. Ex.

When sheltered by their swaying boughs Then all my noble instincts rouse— I pledge again my highest vows— In friendly shade and deep. But when from their secluded way Mid haunts of men I daily stray, For grace and strength I have to pray My plighted vows to keep. If I could live within some glade Beneath the fir tree's kindly shade, Much easier than it is. Of all the men that I have met Not one could wear a coronet So kingly-wise and have it set As fir tree weareth his. When my last day draws near its close And tired hands shall seek repose, When tear on friendly eyelid shows O lay me 'neath a fir— No monument that man has made Will be as welcome as the shade Within some cool and quiet glade Where boughs awhispering stir. For there within my lowly bed With kindly boughs above me spread, Old dust to dust shall lose its dread In quiet peace and deep; And growing there above my sod Its freindly roots shall pierce the clod And bear it upward toward the God Who doth the spirit keep. And thus in death the gentle tree That during life has sheltered me Will like a Jacob's ladder be, And point the way to Him.

WAR A storm of shell bursts o'er the plain, The shrapnels shriek and yell, A thousand fall in leaden rain, Of orgy like to hell. A thousand mothers' sons have died A monarch's whim to please; A thousand sons, their father's pride, In death have found release. Have found release from home and friends, From all that they held dear— Have gone to meet untimely ends— They fought without fear. They fought for freedom, so they^ thought, And fighting died like men, And yet their fighting gained them nought Unless they live again. Their monarch can't restore a life, Nor heal a gaping wound, He, only, can direct the strife ^ That sends their dust to ground. 'Tis centuries since the Savior came And shed his precious blood; And we who believe upon His name Must tremble at this flood: This flood of rapine, war and lust, That's grinding millions down— We cannot falter in our trust, Nor spare repugnant frown. The gospel semmage, "Peace, good will," To every man was given; Its meaning lingers with us still To point the way to Heaven. Has Christ indeed then died in vain, Has his religion failed? Or is this dreadful curse a stain Like some disease entailed Upon the race of human kind For sins by forebears done? If such the case, then bear in mind, The victory will be Avon, For I have faith that we will yet, Before our race is run, See sin by righteousness upset— A place for goodness in the sun. And when that glorious time appears, And sin, and strife, are fled May love of Christ allay our fears— It was for this He bled. And I am sure that God above Who sent His only Son To fight the battles of His love Will see the victory won. —S. H. Hamer. Shop with Messenger advertisers. COLLINS CO.

Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1 9 17 No. 20 Assembly TAKE TIME TO LIVE! "You students work too hard," was the opening remark made by Miss Norton on Monday while addressing the student body, and one received with acclamation. She continued, however, in her inimitable way, "You do not accomplish too much, but you work too hard. Take time to appreciate life, nature, and the beauty to be found in everything. "Is it enough that you should admire the vividly tinted sunsets, or the bright colors of autumn? The deep purples, subdued blues and grays of winter possess a message also. "The doing of things is a valuable phase of life, but do not let the doing side crowd out the seeing and hearing part of your life. Have an open mind —see beauty wherever you look—hear beautiful music—read good and enjoyable books, for the pleasure they afford, as well as for knowledge. "Take time to live! Some of us are paying too much life for living. We must stop and live as we go along. Did yon ever stretch out on a sandy beach ar on some sunny slope— all alone with nature—rest and think? Try it— this sort of thing aids actual living. You will accomplish more if you really live more. In the words of Lowell: " 'Merely to bask and ripen is sometimes the wiser scholar's ideal.' "Then I should add a word to the 3ld expression, and say, 'Stop, look, isten and live!' " This was Miss Nor- :on's closing remark to a very inspiring address. TINA LERNER, The Brilliant Russian Pianist. UNA LERNER 10 BE E 1 POWER OF A PURPOSE. We were fortunate in having with is last Friday, Principal W. C. Weir, )f the South Side High School. Among )ther phases of the question of ideals le mentioned the great power of hav-ng a purpose in life—an ideal, which ;ver advances as it is approached. "Ideals," he continued, "give a main enter to life. Our character cannot ise above our ideals—they are the re-ult of purposeful endeavor. They orm a standard by which we may mild our lives—play up, play the ame, and have an aim." Mr. Weir pointed out, also, that the atalogue of the ages shows lives that ave developed under some definite urpose or ideal—that the lack of a hance holds no man down, if he de-ermines to rise and follow his ideal. Students and faculty of the Normal School of Bellingham are especially interested in the orchestra, for the school proudly claims Madame Eng-berg, director, as a member of the Normal music department. Miss Frances Hays, now manager of the orchestra, was also until recently a valuable instructor at the Normal. The program for the concert for March 2 is highly attractive. Its numbers are: 3. Italian Symphony Mendelssohn 4. Piano soli— (a) Impromptu A Flat Major.-Chopin (b) Ecossaises Chopin (c) Nocturne F Minor Chopin (d) Valse, Opus 34 No. 1 Chopin TINA LERNER. .5. Invitation to the Waltz.... .Weber 6. Piano soli— (a) Polichinelle Rochmaninoff (b) Au Couvent Borodine (c) Music Box Liadow (d) C'-mpanella Liszt TINA LERNER. 7. Andante Cantabile (Strings) Tschaikowsky 5. Marche Slav Tschaikowsky 1. Merry Wives of Windsor Nicolai 2. Concerto for Pianoforte with Orchestra Greig Allegro Moderato Adagio Allegro Marcato TINA LERNER. On the Wednesday preceding the concert Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee will give a second of their delightful interpritive recitals. Mrs. Larrabee will talk of the history and theme of some of the most beautiful numbers on the concert program, and she and Mrs. Cross will then interpret them on the piano.

EDMUND VANCE Edmund Vance Cooke, the well known American poet and lecturer, will be at the Normal Monday evening. Mr. Cooke has written several books of verse. He was engaged in journalism at one time, and from that turned to the lecture platform. He has been engaged in this work since 1893, and is therefore one of the veterans in that field of work. In the lecture course number Monday night, Mr. Cooke will give his lecture, "The Religion of Democracy," which he will illustrate with some of his own poems. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 24 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1.917 Collars Collars You will notice a marked difference in them if sent to the Cascade Laundry They not only last longer, but they fit more satisfactory.

L FIVE IS STILL UNDEFEATED On Monday, Feb. IS, the Normal basketball team returned home from a successful trip in Eastern Washington. They played three games while away and still have their record unmarred by defeat. The games were played with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Ellensburg Normal and Pros-ser Athletic club, respectively. The two former teams have appeared on the local floor this season, each time being defeated decisively. . The return game with the College of Puget Sound, was much faster than the first game, due to the largeness of the gmn, and the fact that both teams showed marked improvement in their playing. The final score was 30 to 14. The line-up: W. S. N.—Wold and Kennett, forwards; Davenport and Ansett, guards; White, center. C. P. S.—Miller, and Curtis, forwards; Woody and Hanawall, guards; Huntington, center. Substitutions—Ford for Davenport, and Rocky for Wold. Summary—Field goals: White, 4; Kennett, 3, and 6 fouls; Davenport, 2; Huntington, 2; Ford, 1; Anstett, 1; Wold, 1; Miller, 1, and 8 fouls. "Tii the return game with Ellensburg Normal the Bellingham boys were in entirely new conditions. Scattered about in the Ellensbui-g gym are large osts that at one time were paddet, but most of which has been worn off ana in some of the warmer mixups these immovable structures would suddenly loom up and take an active part in the contest. The Bellingham boys, however are used to overcoming obstacles and had little trouble in winning by the score of 43 to 17. The line-ups: Bellingham Normal—Wold and Davenport, forwards; Anstett and Ford, guards; Rocky, center. Ellensburg Normal—Campbell and Green, forwards; Eaton and M. White, guards; Beck, center. Substitutions, Bellingham—Kennett for Wold; J. White for Kennett. If it's a stylish, natty, serviceable, shoe you want, remember Raymond's-the real shoe store. Geo. F.

The Prosser team composed of old high school stars, were confident that the Normal team Avould be easy meat but when the visitors got into action their hope were blasted. The Eastern Washington boys have a good team, but the Bellingham quintet played the best game it has ever played and . the local five was out-clased in all departments of the game. There was a large crowd out to see the game and the zest and vim of the crowd did much to add to the attraction. The line-up: Bellingham Normal—Wold and H.

"History of St. Valentine's Day," Miss Warren; reading by Miss Dybdahl; song, "Corn-in' Thru the Rye," by the club. Mrs. King then read an interesting clipping, which Miss Woodard kindly gave to the club, telling of the life of Ohiyesa. The remainder of the evening was spent in the big gym having a good time, especially with the new members who were initiated. Later refreshments were served in thep rettily decorated cafeteria. At this time appropriate valentines were distributed to the members of the society. STUDIO CLUB NOTES. Thursday evening of last week, the members of the Studio club met and participated in one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. After the regular monthly business meeting, an interesting program was given. Miss Loutett opened the program with a piano solo. This was followed by two vocal solos, given in a most charming manner by Miss Hazel Dash-ley. Miss Bailey read a paper on the life and works of Rodin, a modern sculptor. The last number on the progrgam was a most profitable and interesting talk by Miss Beardsley. Her subject was "Famous Pictures by Rembrandt and Contemporaries in Galleries at Home and Abroad." The talk was illustrated with lantern slides. The program was followed by games appropriate to St. Valentine's day, after which refreshments were served. The following students were voted into the- club: Alice Drew, Jean Belch, Alice Belch, Esther Korthauer. These will be initiated at the next business meeting. The Y. M. C. A. is not a dying institution, but is gaining strength and influence every day. The labor bureau, headed by Mr. Owen, is showing splendid returns, and proves a boon to all in search of work. The program committee has arranged for a schedule of lectures that no man can afford to miss. Plans for a joint meeting with the Y. W.'s is under way. Thruout the semester work will be of the very highest standard. Last Thursday morning the club was favored by an excellent talk by Mr. Hoppe. Here are some of the sparkling truths the speaker uttered. "There is nothing more practical than the workings of the square deal. The time of cut-throat methods of business has passed. The principle of caveat emptor, 'let the buyer beware,' no longer exists. The railway companies of today shout equal respect and courtesy towards all. Every time we take an elevator, we see the workings of the square deal, in the responsibility someone takes for our safety. In spite of cynical ways and expressions every man has an innate instinct of the square deal. The attitude, 'do others or they will do you, and do them first,' is not maintained, even by those who profess it. There is nothing more difficult than to be honest with one's self. It demanus ar gt; imagination to fathom the feelings of others, to see ourselves twenty years from now, to prepare for old age, to give ourselves and others a square deal. In the food we take, in the hours we keep, and in the words we say, our sense of the square deal is portrayed. A man who can't give a square deal is the one who thinks the world has it in for him. The law of the balance manifests itself in the rythm between give and receive. The ability to give a square deal, demands above all else the culture of that spark of the divine, within us, that is called conscience." Mrs. Irving J. Cross has accepted the position of organist at the First Presbyterian church, corner of Garden and Maple streets. Any students who are interested in church music and choir training are cordially invited to attend an important choir practice on Tuesday evening at the church. Mrs. G. E. Munn of Kansas City was a guest of Miss Druse at the a r t department one day last week. Mrs. Munn was formerly a teacher of wide experience. She found the department to be one of the most up to date she had ever visited and the ex-habit of hard" work excellent. Alton S. Druse of Seattle spem. Thursday with his sister, Miss Druse. There are eighty-five taking basketry and as many taking rural school hand work.

In a certain institution there is a woman, A most capable woman, Who, with her wonderful power, manages a great part of the_ work of the institution. During the day dressed in the dignified dress that becomes her position, She attends to her executive duties, And all men do her bidding. But at night she goes home, And once within her own little kitchen, She puts on a blue apron and gets dinner And washes the dishes afterward. She gets breakfast the next morning In the same blue apron. With the heavy responsibilities of her position upon her And so many things to attend to, It is not to be wondered at That she sometimes Is absent minded. Sometimes she almost forgets To take off her blue apron When she goes to work. One night She had a dream: She saw herself in her office, And her assistants were with her, But they would not go about their duties— They only stood And stared at her. Against the pane of glass in her office door, She saw faces And eyes—many pairs of eyes— All staring at her. "Why do they all look at me?" she cried. "Why do they not go about their business?" Just then She looked down And what did she see? She had on her blue apron! She awoke. Great beads of perspiration stood on her forehead, And she trembled violently. She arose and groped her way into the kitchen And found the apron. She went back and woke her friend who shared her home with her. "Promise me faithfully," she said, "That you will watch this apron, And see That it is not on me After 9 a. m. Ever." She shook her friend roughly— "I promise," said Margaret.

This was the third party that the club has enjoyed this year. The members were divided into four groups and each group acted as a unit in the series of contests which took place. Each group elected a leader and then this leader chose from the number in his group one who should hold up the honor of his group and win the prize in each particular contest. Had the names given to the contests not been so deceiving, the leader might have used better judgment. As it was he often chose wrongly. For instance, for the "Broad Jump" he would choose the one who looked as though he might excel in jumping, while in reality he should have chosen the one who had the broadest smile, for that proved to be the nature of the contest. There was one contest "for men only." It was a contest in a new method of locomotion—moving forward while seated on a board, using both feet and one hand. Starr Sutherland won the prize but Dr. Herre deserves honorable mention. Each group cheered their contestants, and altogether it was a very exciting race. There were about ten different contests in all. The refreshments consisted of ice cream and cake. Eating ice cream was not one of the contests, but had it been a contest the object of which was to be to consume the greatest quantity of ice cream, it is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Bever would have easily led all others.

The Alkisiahs had their annual senior- alumni banquet at the Leopold Friday, Feb. 16. It was thoroly enjoyed by about forty members. Our junior members are to be congratulated as they were responsible for its great success. The program of the evening was as follows: Toastmistress, Frances Ireland; song, Vida Deign; toast "Past," Maude Carfield; song, Gladys Hamly; toast "Present," Josephine Archam-beau; song, Mrs. Colby; toast "Future," Emily Crawford; duet, Louise Fraser and Julia de Witt. In conclusion Miss Baker talked on the history of the club. She told us or its life of eleven years, and of all the things in which the Alkisiahs have been the first to participate. We have reason to be proud of our record. ,1Y E On February .the first, the Hays Literary society continued the study of George Benard Shaw. Vergia Fox gave a reading of one of his plays, "Getting Married." As it was long she gave' only the first part. Cassie Cales read an interesting article on "Shaw and Jesus." Music followed the literary part of the program: Piano, Ruth Morrison; ukulele duet, Jessie Bay and Lula Dieckhoff. February 15, Shaw's play "Getting Married" was finished by Ruth Partridge. The following piano selections were given by Miss Gardener of the Y. W. C. A.: Waltz, Chopin; Grillen, Schumann; Voglein, Grieg. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying a valentine party. Much merriment was caused over a plant and flower contest. Questions were asked to be answered with the name of some plant or flower. After finding partners by matching pieces of valentine cards, a Virginia reel was formed and danced. Hotel Leopold Fisher: "If 2 and 1 makes shoe blackening, and 3 and 1 makes sewing machine oil, what will 4 and 1 make?" Davis: "Why—a. I don't know." Fisher: "Some mathematician/ 5, of course." Fine argumentative ability was shown in the debate on National Censorship of the Fine Arts last Thursday evening in the Aletheia club. The affirmative side, which was upheld by Mr. Mercer, Mrs. Vannoy and Miss Mabel Smith, attempted to prove that local censorship boards are incapable of handling the problem, inasmuch as they lack authority to carry out their decrees, while a national board of censorship would have at its call the entire force of the United States government. They held that such censorship would not repress true talent, but would uncover the deceits which pass in the disguise of highest art. This board of censorship was to consist of about one hundred men paid by the government. They were then to be diveded into several groups, the members »of each of which would be unusually qualified to judge certain phases of art. In answer to the affirmative argument the negative, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Bolton and Miss Mann, replied •that force cannot remedy evil, and pointed out that should force be emphasized in the form advocated it might under certain conditions make it possible to abridge even the right of free speech. They attacked with vigor the comparison made by their opponents of censorship of fine arts to food inspection. The negative claimed that art NATIONAL BARBER SHOP 1304 Dock Street Best in our line We treat you right was not subject" to chemical anlysis. It is subjective and governed by the emotions. Because of this very fact it is impossible to assemble together a set of men Avho could judge art. Hence, after all, the people are the final judges. The negative won by a comfortable majority. After the debate the club enjoyed a valentine frolic in the little gymnas^ ium. Y. W. C. A. Miss Sands of the faculty gave an inspiring talk to the gigrls of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday, February 15, in the association room. Special music by Miss Hamley and Miss Randle was enjoyed by the girls present. All gigrls are cordially invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held Thursday at 4:10 p. m. Miss Edens: Where is "obey" used generally?"

Over three hundred students have applied for the first button, on merit. The folowing have completed the course and received a Palmer teacher's certificate: Misses Agnes Bailey, Ruth Dieson, Mollie Carson, Lea Dudgeon, Bertha A. Dooley, Helgo Nassie, Elizabeth Arnold, Nina Hanson and Mrs. Shepherd. Did you see the Palmer method group from this Normal in the February number of the American Penman? Twenty of Mr. Thompson's students, who secured certificates from him are portrayed. An extremely tall Irishman, traveling in the West, put up at a hotel in a small town and was shown to his room for the night. In a short time he appeared down stairs and asked for scissors, needle and thread. An hour later he returned them and said, sadly: "Faith, it's no use." When asked what he meant, he replied: "Why the blanket wasn't long enough to cover me feet, so Oi cut a piece off the top and sewed it on the bottom, but 'tis no better now." HUSH. What's the best thing you ever have done? The whitest day, The cleverest play That ever you set in the shine of the sun? The time that you felt just a wee bit proud Of defying the cry of the cowardly crowd And stood back to back with God? Aye, I notice you nod, But silence yourself, lest you bring me shame That I have no answering deed to name. What's the worst thing that ever you did? The darkest spot, The blackest blot On the page you have pasted together and hid? Oh, sometimes you think you've forgotten it quite, Till it crawls in your bed in the dead of the night And brands you its own with a blush. What was it? Nay, hush! Don't tell it to me, for fear it be known That I have an answering blush of my own. But whenever you notice a clean hit made, Sing high and clear The sounding cheer You would gladly have heard for the play you played. —Edmund Vance Cooke.

FACULTY NOTES THAT 1 Last Friday, Mr. Parish, with the assistance of Mrs. Merriman, Miss Meyers and Miss Olden, entertained the people of Mountain View with a literary and musical program. A large audience testified to the excellent work done. At Skykomish, on the same date, Mr. Hoppe gave a lecture entitled "The King Who Fell." Mr. Budde, a Normal graduate, now principal of the Skykomish school, is a powerful factor in community work. It was thru his efforts that the community was privileged to hear Mr. Hoppe's lecture. Miss Vollmer's father, C. G. Vollmer, of South Dakota, returned Sunday after, a brief visit with his daughter. Owing to the wholesome and delightful chaperoning of Miss Nickerson and Miss McCown, the Uunior party of Saturday night proved to be one of the plpeasantest enterprises of the year. Mr. Bond and Miss Norton is directing the Freshman-Sophomore party made Saturday evening a pleasure to all in attendance. Mr. Hoppe called a meeting of the committee governing the literary contest for the Klipsun, Tuesday, and im-protant rulings were acted upon. Mr. Parish made a flying business trip to Sedro-Woolley by automobile last Saturday. Dr. Nash left for Olympia, for a conference with the legislators, Monday morning. At the last meeting of the Art club Miss Beardsley gave an illustrated lecture, on the life and work of Rembrandt. Miss Woodard was one of the guests present. Mr. Edson has just issued an order for fifteen new typewriters for the commercial department. PLUG. As you haven't asked me for advice, I'll give it to you now: Plug!

The second Senior-Junior Kline cup game was played at 4:10 Friday, Feb. 26, 1917, and resulted in a defeat for the Seniors. The score which was very close, the Juniors winning only by one point, was 13-12. The first game as we know, was won by the Seniors and the second by the Juniors, thus giving them an equal race for the last game which will decide the winning of the Kline cup. The game was very fast as the score indicates, and a large crowd enthusiastically rooted for their respective teams. This game showed more skill and practice on part of both teams, the team work itself being better especially for the Juniors. Senior Line-up: G. Watrous and B. Hilliard, forwards; C.

BIG TAFFY PULL DRESS PARTY The Junior class of the H. S. gave a very successful taffy-pull at the home of Alice Kirkpatrick, Friday evening, February 2. Those present were: Miss Vollmer, Mrs. Kuykendall, Marion Smith, Alice Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Vernon Broadbent, Elwyn Bugge and George Hunt. Later in the evening the party was made merrier by the presence of Mrs. Mer-riman and Miss Barbara Davis. After the program, which consisted of some most excellent violin numbers, executed (?) by Elwyn Bugge, and a game of "Flying Cloud," introduced by Mr. Kirkpatrick, the members retired to the kitchen to prove their ability in taffy-pulling. The champion was Alice Kirkpatrick. Elwyn dropped his taffy on the floor and in his confusion and embarrassment, ate it by mistake. Vernon holds the record for amount consumed in a given length of time. Friday night, February 16, the Freshmen and Sophs gave a fancy dress party, with Mr. Bond and Miss Norton as patron and patroness. Over sixty were present and enjoyed themselves hugely, tho they could not but regret the absence f Mr. Parish. They all wanted to see him in fancy dress, but he was obliged to attend the Parent- Teachers' meeting at Fermlale that night. "Eats" of ice cream and cookies were served and the assembled multitude of Freshies and Sophs dispersed, each to go home and to their downy beds. FAILURE. What is a failure? It's only a spur To a man who receives it right, And it makes the spirit within him stir To go in once more and fight. If you never have failed, it's an even guess You never have won a high success. What is a miss? It's a practice shot Which a man must make to enter The list of those who can hit the spot Of the bull's-eye in the center, If you never have sent a bullet wide You never have put a mark inside. What is a knock-down? A count of ten Which a man may take for a rest. It will give him a chance to come up again And do his partiftaxar best. If you never have more than met your match I guess you never have toed the scratch. —Edmund Vance Cooke. Mrs. Irving J. Cross presented a few of her Normal and resident pupils in a piano recital last Monday evening at her home at 1125 Jersey street.

Miss Lerner was born in Odessa twenty-seven years ago. Her musical gift was evident in early childhood and she was given every opportunity to develop it. She entered the Moscow Conservatory when ten years old, completed the nine years' course in five years, and won the highest honors. At fifteen she was soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic Society and appeared in Germany and England, as well as thru-out her native country. Her youth only made her success the more remarkable.

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921 NO. 40 E Dr. Sears, who is conducting classes here in education is an instructor of scholarship and experience, and possesses a most pleasing personality. Students should consider it a privilege to attend his classes even for the remaining short three weeks. Dr. Sears received his degree from Columbia University and has been an instructor in Stanford University for nine years. For the past year, having had a statical leave of absence from Stanford, he has been giving lectures at the University of Minnesota from which institution he has come to Bellingham Normal. Next month he will return to Stanford and resume former work. Besides' his work as a college instructor, Dr. Sears has pursued a number of special studies. He participated in the Salt Lake survey and was director of the survey at Boise, Idaho. On this work he wrote a book of some 300 pages entitled "Boise Survey." Among his other written works is his book on " Classroom Organization and Control," and numerous magazine articles. A book dealing with school administration is now in progress. Asked his impressions of the Bellingham Normal, Dr. Sears replied with the genial sincerity that characterizes him: " You may say that I am not only favorably impressed with the Normal plant and with the surroundingings, and climate of the region, but that I have also been very favorably impressed with the Institution . and with the student body. " It speaks well not only for the Normal School, but for the state, that so intelligent a group of students should be attracted to the summer session here." B.S.N.S "AS YOU LIKE IT" TO BE Are you a good student? How do you measure up to these tests, offered by Miss Cummins? " The first characteristic of a good student," she says, "is an attitude of inquiry — the desire to see all sides of a question. "Every .normal student should have some concrete aim toward which to work. Especially in the case of the upper grade teacher should there be some special line of work around which elective courses and outside reading should center. " The good student will so organize his work as to provide that assigned tasks be completed promptly on the date set. " No one worthy of the name of teacher or citizen will permit himself to remain ignorant of current happenings. Pedagogical magazines, those pertaining to special subjects, current event digests and the daily newspaper should be scanned regularly and with purpose. " When entering the library the stur dent should be prepared to use its tools (Continued on page 6.) Of all out-of-doors presentations of Shakespeare, "As You Like I t " is perhaps most charming. " Midsummer Night's Dream" rivals it in delicacy of fancy but the former comedy is more redolent of woodland scents and more sparkling with the vivacity and freshness of young romance. It is doubtful if the genius of the great bard of Avon ever expressed itself in kindlier and merrier fashion than in the Arcadian scenes of "As You Like It." Here comes the banished Duke and his followers to find " sermons in stones, books in the running brooks and good in everything." To this wildwood come also Rosalind, Orlando and Celia to meet in merry quiet and rougish misunderstanding, in high romance and tender sentiment as . this delightful play of young hearts and light spirits proceeds. Here, too, Touchstone gambols and gibes and finally meets his fate in the rural Audrey, whom he would the gods had made poetical, but to whom he swears fealty as a poor thing but his own. Here in the green woods the melancholy James philosophizes and discovers that " all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely j gt;layers." Fleeing from the bitter hatred of the elder brother hither comes the youthful old Adam, who so sweetly exemplifies the quality of fidelity and teaches us how to grow into a lusty old age " frosty but kindly." " Sweet are the uses of adversity," declares the banished -Duke and " Blow, blow thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind • as benefits forgot," sings Amiens. Thus does this great old play give" to us anew the cleansing arid healthful breath of nature and so, too, may we gain by its genial and wholesome gaiety. The Community Players are to present the play on Wednesday, August 17th on the northwesterly slope of the knoll, with the massed greenery of the right and left portions of the stage and the charming center entrance down the slope upon the greensward, the out-door location is ideal. The play, is to be .correctly costumed in all details. There will - be two important contributions by the Department of Physical Education. Under the direction of Miss Moffat two groups of students will present a classical interpretive dance and a typical old English Morris dance. Mr. Paul Thompson and Miss Amanda Nesson will present the beautiful woodland songs of the play. Altogether a careful, artistic and interesting performance is promised for next week. " Who doth ambition shun and loves to live i' the sun, come hither." B.S.N.S. Two hundred and ten students of B. S. N. S. took teachers' examinations Thursday and Friday of last week. Many left after the examinations. ' The absence of these people has been very noticeable in the class rooms and assembly. B.S.N.S. • Mr. Hunt (in history class) : " What about it, class, is that statement true? " Everybody: "Yes, yes!" Mr. Hunt: " Look out, now." Class (in unison) : " No, no! " WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT THE H A L " What is the feature you like best about this Normal School? " is the question often put to us, to answer like a rule. If the quizzer is a citizen of this delightful city, we start in with the climate, and repeat the oft-told ditty: We praise the parks and flowers; the homes where we reside; we mention asphalt boulevards, whereon our autos glide; we laud its ruddy sunsets, its woodsy trails we cite, as being motives for return, which fill us with delight; we wonder if, in all the world, another spot could be where mountains high re-echo the booming of the sea. We say these are the reasons why students by the score flock back to join the Normal ranks and learn a little more; for we come in goodly numbers, from- every western state; in case you're puzzled why you're here, some answers we'll relate. We grant the town is beautiful, its homes are fair to see; those gorgeous, golden sunsets are free to you and me; the sylvan trails are wonderful; the silvered, moonlit bay brings dreams of future hopes and fears when we'll be far away. But say, there are days of stress and gloom; it rains, and clouds hang low; when al lthe world seems dull and gray, and scenery don't go. Somehow we need a guiding hand, a smile of friendly cheer; even the stern word of rebuke for our faults our doubts, our tears. Now, sweep the cobwebs from your brain, and clear your thoughts for action, and you'll find there is no mystery about the chief attractions. No red brick building in this world extends such welcome dear; what campus holds the many groups of friends to us so near; where could we go to learn as much in one short summer Normal; could parties ever be such fun, or strangers more informal ; have you ever stopped" to wonder if a more helpful trio could be than the smiling, willing workers in our Normal library? Where else would fifty instructors give up vacation joys to teach twelve hundred students with all their faults and noise; where, oh, where could all these things, taken collectively, be realized more fully, than in — " The Normal by the Sea?" — Anon. B.S.N.S. WHERE SOME OF US WILL TEACH NEXT YEAR Dr. Henry K. Warren, who for twenty- six years has been president of Yankton College, the largest institution of higher learning in South Dakota, was a. recent visitor of Dr. Nash. Dr. Nash graduated from Yankton College and worked there with Dr. Warren for some years. Dr. Warren addressed assembly Monday morning. His subject was '• Our Puritan Ancestors." After reviewing the early history of religious persecution against which the Puritans contended in the old world, and their hazardous journey to the new, the speaker called attention "to the fact that the Puritans organized the first democratic government, the principles of which became the foundation principles of our nation. Dr. Warren sounded a warning that we present-day Americans do not lose in our civic life that indominable courage of the Puritan spirit which stands for an insistance on the working- out of the highest ideals of democracy. He deplored the fact that the sporting interests, in their efforts to defeat the so-called blue laws, should resort to caricature of those who gave us national ideals. In doing this they have but honored the Puritans and shamed themselves, for only those who do great deeds are ridiculed 300 years after their departure. "Prophets are always stoned." An appeal to launch our Mayflower and steer boldly into untried seas if we would be true Americans ended a most splendid address. B. S. N. S.

And yet there are some who belong to the old school that is afraid .of " spoiling. the child." All who go to school are not equally .brilliant. Some find theiir work extremely difficult, and while they put forth their best efforts, there are many times when a little explanation of doubtful points would be of invaluable assistance. • It seems unfair to assume that every •time a question is asked, the one who asks it is doing so merely to take up the .teacher's time,- and when the teacher gives a curt, sharp reply that cuts like a lash, is it strange if many refrain from asking for needed help? A large number prefer to receive a lower grade rather than to • take the risk of receiving a reply that hurts for days afterward. Sarcasm is a powerful tool.. It cuts like a two-edged sword, and serves to alienate, where a kindly answer inspires to greater effort. When we go out to teach, let us bear this in mind and avoid making a mistake for which we may have to pay dearly. — B.S.N. S. How many of us get in a hurry and cut across the campus or over the knoll? By watching students come in the morning we would say that most of us do. How much time is saved? Probably a fraction of a minute. Is it worth the cost? Does that fraction of a minute saved aid us so greatly that we are justified in writing our selfishness or thoughtlessness upon the beautiful green carpet? Surely after such a pleasing compliment as Dr. Sears gave us in Monday morning's assembly, we ought to be proud enough of our campus to keep it always looking green and smooth and not spoiled by ugly brown paths cut hit and miss wherever we happen to choose to walk. When we came we did not find it cut by paths. The students who were here before us exercised enough self-control to stay on the walks. I'll guarantee they were just as busy as we are and they, went away with just as much knowledge and pleasant-memories as we have. So let us show our school spirit hereafter, and hold a person in disrepute who takes the short cuts. Let us make an unwi'itten law that we shall not cut corners, and each one "a self-appointed officer of that law, at least in so far as we ourselves are" concerned. B. S. N. S. When the Seniors carry away their coveted diplomas they will carry away, also, the memory of a fine example of that patience "that suffereth long and is silent."

Surely "Jit's too much" for Normal Seniors, wise as they are. They have a sort of vague theory that perhaps programming officers are made of different clay. Be that as it may, they marvel much at the fortitude, patience and personal interest that Mr. Beyer always displays and they gratefully acknowledge their debt j gt;f gratitude.

Sears, who spoke in assembly Wednesday morning. Then followed an interesting discussion on Education, in which Dr. Sears stated that for many years he had been trying to explain to an incredulous public y'ust what the study of education is. *'" So long as the world thinks education is only a theory or something that doesn't count, it is a fact which the teacher must meet," he said. "Our only -answer to the public must be in terms of hard facts." Other items of importance gleaned from the discussion were that education may be thought of in terms of the institution or of the child. In late education the child's interests have been studied and no progressive teacher or superintendent will hold a child back in all subjects, because he may be deficient in one. Since to schools has been assigned the duty of producing the doers and thinkers of the world, education must be put on a fact basis. The teacher of today cannot depend on theory, but must know how to teach. B.S.N.S. • DEBTS How often have we pointed the finger of scorn at the shirker who excuses his evasion of responsibilities by saying, " Oh, well! the world owes me a living." He has a job, perhaps, but he does as little work as it is possible to do without being dismissed. : When there is a call for volunteers to do extra work, he is ostentatiously silent. His attitude is that the boss has managed poorly or there would be no extra work. He is usually a fault finder, an excuse maker, :a self-indulger. He lets someone else ]bear the burdens — and reap the honors ;—while he merely "gets by." The D o e s the printed p a g e blur before you? Does your h e a d ache before the day ends?

We neither admire nor respect this drone when we meet him in the business world, yet we fail to condemn his counterpart in the school world. He is the student who disclaims all responsibility for the upbuilding of his school. "The state owes me an education," he says. "After me, the deluge," is his slogan. Hs skims his assignment hastily, and his frequent answer is " Unprepared." His sole desire is to pass. He never follows up the teacher's suggestions or recommendations forself improvement. The only phrase that wins his entire attention is " Required for graduation." He never offers his services for the hard work in the outside activities. He gives the assemblies a passive support at best, and is the first to create a disturbance if the program is not to his liking. Other students shoulder the responsibilities and are benefited by so doing. He merely graduates. The state owes him an education; but what does he owe the state? B. S. N. S.

B.S.N.S. DR. TRUEBLOOD'S LECTURE Dr. Trueblood, head of the department of public speaking of the University of Michigan and engaged in the work of that department since' 1886, gave a splendid lecture on the "Art of Public Speaking" in assembly Friday. He laid great emphasis on the directness of speaking and stated that it was the most vital point in all the methods of public speaking. He provided this to all those that heard his interesting lee-, ture, as his own manner and tone were oft he easy conversational type. Among the great orators of the present day that use this method are William J. Bryan and Bishop Hughes, the latter was a former pupil of Dr. True-blood's. He emphasized the importance of work on debate by showing that prom- White Stitched Hats $5.50 and $7.50 Apparel of Quality FOR TEN YEARS.

William Jennings Bryan and Jane Addams debated against each other in college, and Jane Addams was the winner. In closing his address Dr. Trueblood made a plea to all teachers to aid in trying to establish correct speaking English over all the world. Dr. Trueblood read "Ingomar, the Barbarian," by the Austrian author Holbe Thursday evening. In his reading "Ingomar the Barbarian" Dr. Trueblood brought out the romance of the drama very clearly and markedly. From the beginning intense interest was sustained. The most noticeable feature of Dr. Trueblood's delivery is his simplicity and sincerity. B.S.N.S. Not wealth, but the ability to meet difficult conditions, is the measure of man. Every unselfish act is turning the searchlight into some dark corner. When a wind storm sweeps the forest it is the weazened trees, those with rotten hearts, that fall first.

JENKINS-BOYS COMPANY Instructors will agree that there are two types of students among us, the plodding workers and the brilliant shirkers. They will also agree that they easily recognize these types upon the first day of the term, so if you are cramming for your expected examination be assured your teacher has already decided upon the marks you deserve and will govern himself accordingly, no matter how you may " p a d " to deceive him. The student who has for his incentive a mark of A — instead of a real knowledge of the subject he is pursuing, is a fraud and a failure so far as scholarship goes. The fear of the examination may keep a student who is otherwise mentally asleep, somewhat alert for " points " to be remembered; he slides along for the first ten weeks, keeping up attendance at classes' but receiving nothing from his. text, his classmates or his teacher. Finally the last two weeks stares him in the fact with failure or condition evident. Then he frantically and feverishly burns the candle at both ends, trying to catch up in a' subject in which he never started. He crams, and passes — " passes " is the proper word, for it indicates that the student has at least one faculty, almost abnormal, however, the ability to dodge successfully the real purpose of all study; the development of his mental processes by systematic concentration. We will agree with our excellent instructors when they say that it does require a peculiar sort of " genius " to accomplish this cramming process. It has been proven time and again that this " loading up for examination" is harmless, so cram on. Your mental calibre will not be visably affected, for the efforts you put forth at the end leave no trace upon the brain. Aside from loss of sleep, physical exhaustion and that coveted grade your head will be as empty as ever. B.S.N.S. THE PROJECT PLAN THINGS GOOD TO EAT — at — NORMAL BAKERY AND DELICATESSEN 623 HIGH STREET The project plan is one that has been worked out and used successfully in this summer's term of the training school. One phase of this plan is being used in the teaching of arithmetic in the intermediate grades. One day of the week is a project lesson, and the class is taken to a basement room which is arranged like a store. The shelves have been made by the children from boxes, and on these are arranged goods in cans and packages. One child is the storekeeper, and all of the others are customers. Each has a certain amount of play money given to him, and with this he must purchase something at the store. Each child works out every problem. If the change counted out by the storekeeper is not correct he loses his position. At the end of the game the problems are corrected. This has been found a valuable plan in stimulating interest in the work.

Hers has been a period of achievement, and the new staff will inherit a smooth running newspaper organization, a group of ambitious cubs trained under her leadership, and the traditional Viking position as one of the finest Normal School publications in the United States. Dolly Anderson is the third girl to have served in the editor's chair here. Since the first publication in 1809, the editorial office has been dominated by men. The reason, no doubt, is that many more men than women seek journalism as a profession. This is for those who haven't experienced the thrill of working on a paper: If you want a lot of fun and a lot of experience, sign up for English 3a under Fowler next quarter. You'll like the incomparable "Art" and "Walt" at the printery, and youll learn how, when you get out in the teaching field, to co-operate with the press and sell your community on your pet projects. .———W. S. N. S. BELLINGHAM CHAMBER DROPS FESTIVAL PLANS AT TUESDAY SESSION flf!f|Ps lllll§§ Commenting: last week on "Why Teachers Fail", Glenn Frank, president of Wisconsin University, recites the causes of failure uncovered by Skerman Lettler in . a n exhaustive study several years ago. Mr. Frank declares that these seventeen findings are still t h e main sources of inefficiency in our schoolrooms. The seventeen causes of teacher failure are these: Lack of control over the technique off teaching. Lack of ability to maintain order and discipline. Lack of mastery of subject matter. Lack of intelligence. Lack of effort, initiative, and adaptability. Lack of common sense. Lack of physical energy. Lack of standards of achievement. Lack of ability to carry on and of singleness of purpose. Lack of sympathetic understanding- of pupils. ; Lack of social background. Lack of knowledge of what pupils can dp. Lack of personality.. Lack ef moral standards. Mr. Frank declares that "If every teacher in the nation would check himself or herself against these seventeen causes of failure, in complete honesty of analysis, we might remake our schools within a few years. "Great teachers are great men and great women. We need never expect to have an over-supply of great teachers, therefore, for the race does not throw up a great many great men in any generation. But we must keep up the quest of teachers who bring to their task an informed technique,., accurate., and wide knowledge, intelligence, energy, initiative, adaptability, common sense, high standards of personal morals and professional achievement, singleness of purpose, sympathy, a rich social background, and an inspiring personality. W. S. N. S. And now that we are arriving at the bottom? of our column; our term as Normalite is about over. To use the crude vernacular of the fight , game, we've had some good matches since we got into this racket. We got the decision with the Nurse's office, and they are getting ready to build a men's consultation office. We went to a draw with Men's club reforms, and when we got in there to alter the class cutting system, our foot must have slipped or something, because when we came too the lights were out and the customers had all gone home. So we guess we're a has-been as Normalite, and we climb out between the ropes to let in a,faster, harder hitting youngster who has. a world of stuff up his cuff, and who. ^ bound to get a.big;hand from the ffanis when he goes into action. :0^:^\:'-r^^ • "•••••.';.4.:'. Trustees of the Chamber of Commerce voted Tuesday to abandon the Tulip festival this year. This action was taken on account of the agitation brought forth by many of the business men of the town, in regards to the carnival. The trustees' vote was overwhelming. They made the suggestion that the Tulip festival be held every other year, alternating with a Mount Baker marathon also every , other year. Another factor coming into its abandonment, is the lack of-sup-port being given to it by trie townspeople. To many of the Normal students the abandonment was quite a disappointment. The school was to have figured quite prominently in the Festival. The Queen and two princesses were to have been chosen' from the Normal. The Queen was to have been a Bellingham girl. The Pageant on Battersby field was also in charge of the "Normal by the Sea". President Fisher was co-operating with some of the committees in charge, also. 600STUDENTS HAVE REGISTRATION PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER 100 of the Number Haven't Paid Fees, But Work for Next Term and Usual Rush Will Be Missing. FOUR CLASSES NOT TO MEET New Students, Old Members and Transfers Will Meet in Rooms 120, 105, and Dean Bever's Office. LUNCHEON IS GIVEN BY UPPER DIVISION College Group Reorganized for the First Time in Many Years; Dick Louis Made President of Class. The Junior-Senior College gave a luncheon for its members and several of the faculty on Thursday, March 13, in Edens Hall clubroom. This group, composed of all upper division students in the school has just reorganized this quarter after being inactive for several years. At present they have a membership of about sixty students. This membership is expected to increase rapidly in the future since the new requirements for longer attendance have been enforced. The officers elected this quarter are Dick Louis, president; Grace Olson, vice-president; Prances Young, secretary, and Eva Catlin, I. C. C. representative. Dr. Irving Miller is the faculty adviser. The luncheon last Thursday was for the purpose of making the members of the organization better acquainted, and to serve as an introduction for future events which will be planned for next quarter. The following program was presented: Vocal solos, Frances Young, accompanied by Margaret Morrison. Piano solos Doris Thompson Short speeches were made by Dr. Miller and Dick Louis. Mr. Lewis welcomed the members and urged good co-operation in all further affairs of the organization. Dr. Miller spoke of the fine possibilities for leadership in school life which this group possesses. Faculty guests at the luncheon included Miss Emma Erickson, Miss j Delie Keeler, Dr. Irving Miller and; Dr. C. C. Upshall. I Six hundred students took advantage of the pre-registration period, which occurred the latter part of this quarter. Of these, five hundred have completely registered, while the remainder have yet to pay their fees.

NORMAL STUDENTS IN CAST PLANS FOR SUMM SCHOOL COMPLETED Puget Sound Biological Station to Start June 16 and Will Continue Until August 16; Sundquist Going. Final Plans for Klipsun Well Under Way, Announces Editor of 1930 Book Work on the Klipsun is progressing rapidly and"-final plan's for organization are almost ^entirely finished, according to Bernice Gnagey, editor of this year's annual. Several innovations are promised and the book will differ in many respects from the 1929 Klipsun. There will be no regular section of campus photographs as has heretofore been the custom but, instead, the division pages will be the background for various campus sketches. These sketches will be worked out in a new water color process which is said to give a clear, smooth, and delicate appearance to the colors. Three shades will be used—blue, yellow, and burnt siena. An evening scene of the entire campus with Sehpme Hill rising above will be pictured on the end sheets in both the front and back. This will relieve the uninteresting appearance of the opening pages. The cover design has not yet, been chosen but the David Maloy Company, of, Chicago, and a Seattle firm are now working on it. The dominant tone in the cover will probably •be blue and the word "Klipsun," as well as the numerals "1930," will be placed on the front instead of on the backbone as was done last year. The border on each page will consist of a small sketch of the main building in a blue shade, with a column of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 2 ---------- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ V^infeTON e iNorcnwest vu Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Fotmded 1899 lng Published weekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

It is with a little sadness that I relinquish the position I have treasured for the past four quarters, but it is a sadness mingled with gladness for with my going comes a new editor, full of new ideas, brimming over with eager intentions—one '' who will doubtless make you anticipate each issue of the Viking. A -iBefore I go, I want to thank Ray, Bobby, Pearl, Barney, Bert, Arnold, Jack, Irene, and those four staffs of reporters with whom I f J have worked, for their faithfulness, eagerness, and their true Viking spirit. To the Viking ship's main sails, Art and Walt, the "corpulent" and lean printers, respectively, and Mr. Fowler, may I express my sincere gratitude. I am glad to have had the opportunity of being associated with three business managers, Barney Chichester, Ben Hamilton, and Gordon Leen, and to them I express my appreciation for the cooperation and kindness they have shown. May I thank the present staff, sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart, for the gift which you presented me last Friday. I felt that I could not thank you enough at our little gathering that night for-—well, I'm feminine and necessarily emotional. To the Northwest Viking readers, I say farewell and introduce you to your new managing editor, Ray Craft. "Step right up, Mr. Craft, take my "doiby"—have a big, black 'seegar'—put your feet up on my desk—look hard-boiled—and go to i t ! " —The EDITOR E D U C A T I O N ' S F U T U RE Dr. Max Mason, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, former president of the University of Chicago and former professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin, has sketched a new picture for future education. The keynote of his predictions was, more physicians and fewer professors in the educational institutions of the future. He states that the professors of the future will let the students do their own learning and have physicians present to see that the students don't study too hard. In his speech at the University of Washington recently, he said, "Students of the future will attend college to obtain certain definite kinds of knowledge to fit them for specific functions in life". "There will be no examinations or quizzes to ascertain whether the student has remembered everything the professor told him to remember -—(A good many of us would have wished for future times this week). "The professor is not a drill master. He should not, like an army sergeant, tell his pupils where to walk and how fast. He ;shpuld inspire their curiosity and hey will learn for hemselves". ^1 S P R I N G H A S S P R U NG In the spring, the young Normal boy's and girls' fancies turn to thoughts of—j—spring vacation. Vacation—after a three-months steady grind interspersed by play-times in form of dances, parties, and entertainments—-is so near. Just a few more hours and for some of us it is, "Home, James"—but for the majority of us it's, "Gotta hurry or I'll miss the southbound freight"!

First grade are playing a game, the Second grade learning a poem, • and the Third grade picking out the correct words to fill into blanks. —o— WE ARE PLAYING THE GAME WITH THE FIRST GRADE. We love these funny little people, with their patched trousers, darned stockings and dirty fingernails—and we wonder why we try constantly to change them. —o— Then we turned around aiid found some one copying some one else's work. They come from queer little homes where queer standards, if any, are the foundation of existence. We have met then- poor, narrow-minded parents, and yet we love these children—love these eyes that are great pools of the soiil, where the rain drops and the sun shines with the changing weather of life. AND WHY SHOULD WE CALL THESE PEOPLE QUEER, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE PECULIAR TO US? We saw black boughs of the willow tree against the moon. We saw them in morning — in the evening —in summer and in fall. —o— They are Fate—the skeleton of what Life really is—what Life is built on. When We get just a little weary along this rocky highway, we get glimpses of willows against the moon. —o— We saw black branches only today. WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO THE VIKING PARTY, AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW WE FELT. —o— .And then we said to ourselves: Perhaps we loved those associations because they made us feel important. —o— We had never learned to hate, there in your World of good fellows —and we regret to say that this narrow little world taught us the unruly weeds of hate. AND IT HURTS SO TO HATE! —o— It hurts our pride to hate—and it hurts something away down in our chests that idealists call a heart. —o— Then we fell to wondering if these people who hate so much haven't a hardened callous around their hearts. —o— Or, perhaps they have overlooked those dull, achings of the heart for so many ages that finally the pain and outcrop have been silenced. —o— But we hope hate will never do that much to us. We won't let it! We'll build a wall around our hearts —a wall of sunshine. We'll turn Pollyanna or St. Valentine. Ethics is the biggest problem in leaching, as we see it. if * * Most children have something with which to learn reading, writing and arithmetic— that is, namely, intelligence! gt; gt; * :J But we have found that there are some children who have no standards or ideals on which to base ethical or moral training. It's then that we wonder what to do. * • * * Nothing in our Normal training prepared us for this problem. MABEL NORMAND IS DEAD.

Irish Comedy (W. L.) After two successful performances, the Drama club play "The White-headed Boy" joins the vast and ~^V-^^^ kinJa ser'l0US about much talked of past. Comments , , n auafi„ Makes a have been flying "here and there concerning the event and for a few days the good and bad qualities, personal likes and dislikes, the relative merits of the play, and the work of the actors were topics under discussion. In regard to t h e histrionic ability of the players and the efficiency of the director there has been nothing but praise, yet from various individuals have come dissatisfied remarks referring to the way in which the play ended. This opens the way to discussion. In the first place the play was a comedy and a comedy does not follow convention. To have the "Whiteheaded Boy" thwarted and thrown out on his own, to have each girl's ambition realized, to have Peter placed successfully in business, and to have the fond mother wake up, would probably have been the right and conventional ending so far as the audience was concerned, but there is where the spirit of comedy enters. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 3 ---------- WASHTNJTTQN STATC N O R l ^ •\!!M^H^!'VJ gt;Mf-y»V!?/'W«iV!i;''\S Helene Madison, pretty acquatic star of the new Washington Athletic club in Seattle,, returns home Saturday from an extended tour of the South where she captured seven world titles and broke five world records in a period of two weeks. The Seattle business men are planning to give her an ovation which will rival Colonel Lindberg's return from his epochal flight. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Madison as her feats outshad-bw those of Wilson, Carrol, Brix, the championship Washington crews, and any others that have made his? tory for the Northwest sport world. * * * * We are wondering why the state doesnt send North Central, the winner of the state basketball championship of Washington, to Chicago to compete for the national title. Prom all indications they would have more than a good chance for the title. If they deserve it, why hot give it to them? we say. The training school enjoyed an excellent season in basketball this year, losing only to Lowell in the finals. Chuck Fisher and Wick Carver were placed on the all-city grade school team. It has been rumored that Ellens-burg will be without a representative in the Spring sports this year, due to the lack of funds in the athletic treasury. We are mighty sorry to hear that 'cause we felt sure we would even things up by winning the baseball, track and tennis championships. A nephew of Miss Anna Ullin is a member of the Centralia High school basketball team that has been playing in the State tournament in Seattle. QUARTERLY BANQUET HELD IN CLUB ROOM Speeches, Introduction of Spring Sports and Announcement at Marionettes Feature Program. The quarterly sports banquet was held last Friday evening in the club room of Eden's hall with Gay Smith as toastmistress. After dinner was served a welcome address was given by Ruth Sammons, president of W A. A.; followed by a short talk by President C. H. Fisher. Winter sport talks were given by their different managers and all-star teams were announced by Miss Margery Horton, who gave out the certificates of star identification. Spring sports, speed ball, baseball, tennis, archery, hiking and swim ming were introduced by Katherin Zeran and announcements of the Marionette show and the informal were made by Marion Marchand. About fifty people were present at the banquet including Miss Orpha McPherson, Miss Lillian George, Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss Margery Horton, President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Ruckmick, and Mr. E. A. Bond. o NORTH CENTRAL WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP North Central High, of Spokane, won the Eighth annual State High school basketball touranment, by defeating Walla Walla, 29 to 25, in the final game of the tourney. Sixteen teams competed at Seattle, March 13, 14, 15. The other teams finished as follows: Everett, Ho-quiam, Endicott, Foster, Stadium, and Fair haven. The tourney brought out several good brands of playing', and keen interest was shown by the spectators. It is thought that North Central may be sent back to the National tournament, at Chicago. .. o—:—: Mrs. Margaret Still, a graduate of this school has been assisting in t he extension office during the rush of test week. • _—o — •' FACULTY MEMBERS ON HIKE Five members of the faculty, Dr. Upshall, Dr. Masters, Mr. E.

Pitchers Is Coach Gunn's Biggest Problem for a Real Baseball Team. NO CINCHES FOR BERTHS "If the Vikings had to place a ball club on t he field today, most of the positions would be settled by the toss-up method". So states "Pop" Gunn, who has been putting about 25 aspirants through their paces during the past few weeks. Occie Thorsen has the inside track on first base, Dixon and Bailey look good as outfielders, and Hugh Mc- Clary is showing up well as a backstop. As for the rest of the team, no one knows who will fill the gaps. I n the infield Johnston has. an edge on shortstop, while Eacrett and Iverson are even up at third. Ped-erson, Lindall, and Miller are all out for infield berths and are show* ing good possibilities. Emery and Thompson are out for anything they can get and are liable to bust into the lineup any place. Other infield-ers are Brownlow, Dowell, and Vaughn. Outfielders are less numerous. Besides the lettermen, McCleary, McMeen, and Dave Cole are working for positions. To make things interesting for Thorsen, Hslde, Tew, and Hunnicut are all working for the first sack. Lack of first class pitchers is noticeable on the club. Blankenship and Konopshi are heading the list, with Iverson, Johnston, and Eacrett also taking a turn in the box. One thing is certain.' No one is going to loaf on the job. A hard DROPS LAST GAME Lowell Takes City Championship from Training School in Fast Breaking Game Five to Three. That class of basketball fans that doesn't enjoy a game unless there is scoring and plenty of it, didn't miss anything over at Whatcom last Friday afternoon—but those that love to see a close checking game in which everyone of t he few points are earned, lost a treat by not being there to watch the Normal Training school hoopsters tackle the Lowell grade school casaba-tossers for the city championship. The final score would represent an ideal one for a, baseball game, 5 to 3 in favor of Lowell. Both teams fought hard, and the checking, as t he score indicates, was very close. Each team scored one field goal, the remainder of the points being made via the foul shooting method. The winners had more chances at making free throws, and "there proved- that the victory hinged on the fouls made by t he Normalites. o Pressing a button releases either salt or pepper from a shaker combination that an Indiana man has invented. grind is ahead of the team and only those who want to work will be considered for a position. Anyway, says Gunn, "There is a lot of work to be done before a club can be put on the field. But the will to succeed in there, stronger than ever this year, and.that is what counts. They won't kick our club around this year. Not if we know our baseball.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN "—Four, —five". "All right, next hitter, take five". Coach R. E. (Pop) Gunn grooms his charges out on the Southwest corner of Waldo field. Batting practice, fly chasing, throwing and a little infield practice. Upon being asked to make a statement he said: "We won't take all the lickings. I have never failed yet to put out a good team". While Coach Gunn is looking out for coming material the different clubs and aspiring managers stand on the sidelines, spotting the likely candidates for their intramural teams. At the beginning of next quarter lists will be posted on the bulletin board in the Men's Athletic office, for all clubs and teams who wish to sign up for intramural games. It is expected that there will be about four teams enter the race. The games will be either five or seven-innings, no pitcher will be used for more than four innings and varsity team members will be eligible to play at the discretion of the head coach. In all probability the race will be close competition throughout. 4.,,—», ,. „„ „„ ,„. „„ .„__,0_„,__Bn_14. ,„ mi n» m nu m i — » u — « « — » n — • • £• Spring Vacation Will Seem Dull Without Good Book So Be Sure to Stop in on We Have All the Latest your way home to the Montague-Mc Hugh CIRCULATING LIBRARY "THE PARTY GIRL" - S h e Was a Wow at Making W H O O P E E !

A roati-i riee for grade children at 2:00 p. m., proved interesting and successful to a crowded house. There was a fairly large group of people at t h e evening performance and the players with their clever faces and sharp jointed walk creat ' e d many laughs. The intricacy of the 500 strings used in the play caused much* enthusiasm and ap plause was loud when the stringed cow and dog leaned gradually across the stage. .,. Old Rip, with his low, easygoing voice was master of the.show, al though his dame and daughter had their parts, too. The scene in the mountains with the multi-numbered dwarfs and the keg of snock which Rip drank were effective and the audience was awed with the suddenness of the ghost's appearance on the quietness of the landscape. Characters Displayed Even the audience admitted that Rip must have enjoyed his 20 years sleep, while his return to his home later and t h e meeting of his wife and daughter all were surprizingly real. At t h e end of the show E. A. Searle, himself, came onto the stage, everyone looked around to see if the world was made of dwarfs and giants or were people really natural sized. . There were 21 characters in the show which was made up of two acts and seven scenes. Seven men and women pulled the strings and did the talking for t he characters. There was not a mistake at either of t h e performances in the pulling of t h e strings and the show went through without a mishap. o ' " F A T H E R W I L L I A M" ( U p to Date. Guess Who?)

Miss Willoughby: "I have." And she had. The Normal five was again victorious last Saturday night when they defeated an ex-Normal team from Vancouver in the local Gym. The final score was 68 to 25. Altho this is a onesided game the score would have been much larger had the local boys played true to form. At times the Normal players were inaccurate in their basket shooting, but outside of this one fault the game was fast, the guards doing some especially good work. For Vancouver, their center position seemed to be the strongest and best filled. The teams were slow in getting started, nearly five minutes having elapsed before either side scored. Normal shot the first basket and a moment later the score was evened up. However the Bellingham quintet played the steadier and the first half ended with a score of 26 to 15. The second half was a repetition of the first with Normal getting a larger score and holding their opponents to a smaller one. This period ended with, the local team on the long side of a 42 to 10 score. "Ali" Henne's again showed his ability by uncovering an unheard of band. They played a few selections between halves. The crowd joined in the merriment and altogether it was a rare treat. The members of the band were: Craushaw playing clarinet, Mathews, piccolo; Barnet, cornet; George Miller, snare drum; McKinnon, bass drum, and Frances Devery played the piano. The Normal team has now won four games and lost none. They will try to keep their record unbroken when they play Everett here tonight.

Many are ready to verify our statement that it is really the best that the Association has to offer during the year. At our first meeting, Mrs. Colby sang for us, "Jesus Is Calling." The two women, who came from Seattle, were then introduced and after a short greeting from Mrs. Soltan, Mrs. Campbell took charge of the rest of the meeting. Her main thought presented was "Oh! that our eyes might be opened." This proved to be the keynote for the entire institute. The second and third meetings were held Friday afternoon at 3:20 and 4:10. Mrs. Campbell spoke at 3:20 bringing us her message, first emphasizing "Ye must be born again." Her lesson was taken from the story of the "Woman of Samaria" and Jesus' words "I am the living water" were so forcefully brought to us. At 4:10 Mrs. Soltan had the meeting and her message was the story of "Cain and Abel." Gladys Hamley sang. Friday evening at 7:30 both Mrs. Soltan and Mrs. Campbell spoke. There was special music, a solo by- Ruth Elander. Saturday afternoon was given over to Missions. Mrs. Soltan told such interesting stories about her own children in mission fields and Mrs. Campbell also spoke, showing how plainly God says "Go" but we do not obey. Miss Sands sang for us "He Will Hold Me Fast." We feel that Bible Institute has been a real help and inspiration. For those who could not attend we are inviting you noAv to come to our regular association meetings Thursday at 4:10. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 4 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 The Weekly Messeng-e-r Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

Among other things that came up for consideration before this meeting was the bill now before the state legislature to introduce military training into the public schools of Washington: The association went on record as opposed to this bill. This question of military training in the schools is one that should receive thoughtful consideration on the part of every citizen, and it is a question of special importance to us as teachers. Would military training as COMPETITORS may sell some things for less than YOUR store does, but YOUR STORE sells a lot of things for less than they do. Normal Book Store "Your own store." part of our school course be consistent with the aim of education as we see it? It is argued that the physical training obtained along with the training in military tactics would be worth while. Would the dual organization that Avould be necessary if the military department was to be directed by the government, be a help or a hindrance in the development of an efficient educational system? Let us think on these questions and be prepared to take an" intelligent interest in this movement, which is of such vital importance to our schools. A GOOD LOSER TAKES DEFEAT CHEERFULLY A good loser is one who takes his defeat as cheerfully as tho he were the winner. Such a one will buckle the armor on more securely, repair the defective parts, apply the oiled feather to the squeaking places and, with shoulders thrown back and head erect, resolve to "make good." In all the walks of life there are more losers than winners; with the former the scar may be indelible, yet the defeated one will conceal it or, at least, will not expose it. A certain teacher in this commonwealth says: "I never was a loser in the act of obtaining or retaining a position but what I took advantage of the opportunities offered and thus turned the apparent loss into a substantial gain. One illustration is quoted: At one place I was loser in that I failed to retain a position. Another position with a salary twenty per cent higher was secured and in the vicinity of the new position some land was purchased (just common dirt as is found on highways) which was disposed of at from 100 to 500 per cent profit. Those school district dads have received my sincere thanks for the benefits conferred upon me." Presidential Candidate Hughes, to all outward appearances proved himself to be a good loser in his loss in the race for the presidency. When he retired at 12:15 election night, he felt certain that he had won the prize which he sought; forty-eight hours later he found himself to be a loser instead of the winner. He congratulated his chief opponent for his success. That Mr. Hughes was disappointed, no one will deny; it was probably the greatest disappointment that he ever endured, yet his actions showed him to be a good loser. He thus set an example for people in all walks of life, from an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency to the unfortunate one in a game of marbles. WILLIAM BEARDSLEE.

In it, there were no carpets, nor easy chairs, nor luxuries; herbs lined the sides of the spare front parlor, and a poor dresser stood in the kitchen. From this kitchen dresser the widow ate her scant breakfasts, dinners and suppers, with an occasional egg, or, at most, two, to celebrate a holiday. These eggs were laid by Dame Bart-lett, spouse of King Chanticleer, who with him and her six daughters, roamed the widow's yard. Chanticleer went to sleep one night, and close to him slept his dame and Prices Moderate; Five course dinner every evening from 5 to 8 at 60c. Six course Sunday evening at 75c Banquets and Dinners gotten up on short notice. Tables may always be reserved by telephone. Hotel Leopold their six children. He had slept some time, when he groaned a groan and moaned a moan. "Get up! Wake up!" said Dame Partlett. "What ails you? What's the matter?" She shook him, for he was slow to waken. Chanticleer, with a deep sigh, drew himself up and Dame Partlett saw deep, dark hollows under his eyes, and saw a dejected forlornness in the face of her worse half. "I have had a dream," said he. "An uncouth shape, large and yet slender, came skulking toward me. I saw the creature had sharp eyes, perked ears, a long bushy tail, a slinky form and a sharp, pointed snout, withal." "You need a worm," said his practical wife. They went out of the house, side by side, hopping down the steps, and into the spring air. King Chanticleer said: "I feel better. I enjoy seeing the fresh green leaves of spring. The morning sunshine clears away the cold from my bones, but I still have a feeling that my dream is a warning." "Nonsense," said his wife. He answered: "I have known of many such things happening to people, after a dream like mine had warned them." His wife wanted to argue—she did. Then the chickens quoted a little Plato and they went in search of worms. As they scratched the mellow earth in search of its wriggley inhabitants, they were watched by a pair of sharp eyes which peered at them thru the rails of the fence. Far better that Chanticleer had stayed on his beam. The fox skulked in the corner till night. The chickens went to bed at sundown, as all nice chickens should. Then Chanticleer saw a slinking form come in the narrow doorway. He was very startled and nearly lost his equilibrium. He had never seen a fox. From instinct he shunned the pointed-nosed creature as a sailor shuns a rock. "Cluck, cluck," said he in a deep squawk. "Be not alarmed, beautiful bird," said the fox. "As I stood outside I heard a song, as of the angels. I did not intend to come but the song lured me on in spite of myself. It is no wonder you are a. good singer. Your father was also. I knew him intimately." The cock was pleased and accepted this flattery. "And now sing for me," said the fox. Chanticleer threw back his head, shut his eyes and flapped his wings. "Listen," he said; but the fox had him by the throat. His would-be song was changed to a throaty squawk, and the fox was gone, Chanticleer with him. Chanticleer's cries roused his spouse. Her cries roused the widow, and her cries the vicar and so on, till the whole village was in pursuit of the fox; people shouting, hounds baying, chickens crowing. A general bedlam ensued. The cock was frightened, but be-thot himself of a scheme. "Speak to them, Reynard," said he. "You are safe and the woods and your den are at hand. Tell them you are king and they are foolish to try to catch you." The fox obeyed, but no sooner had he opened his mouth than the cock was loose and had flown into a maple by the side of the road. The fox was very foxey and thot by soft words to again win over the cock. So, "Come down," said he. "Let us treat this matter peaceably. I only meant to take you over to my house for dinner. I should have been much pleased to have had you there. I only meant to frighten you a bit that you might enjoy the dinner the more. For 'Sweet is pleasure after pain,'" said he, quoting a little Dryden. "Nay," said the cock, "only idiots are fooled twice. We shall consider the peace movement, but I'll stay right here the while we consider it. We shall follow the policy of watchful waiting."

"Or, better still, Lieutenant, exterminate the lot." "I can hardly hold the men in check, sir." Aye, the brave lads! They are as anxious as you and I to get at the beasts." A hurry of British shells pour death into the German lines. A lull, then the khaki-clad troops clamber out of their positions in a mad charge. At the brink of the assaulted trenches the captain impales a German machine gunner on his sword. The impetus of the thrust throws him headlong into the trench, where, striking his head on the hard-trodden floor, the lies stunned. When the captain regains his senses he hears the groans and shrieks of the wounded. To this he pays little attention; many times before has he heard the aftermath of battle. As he looks eagerly about him he sees soldiers administering to the wounded and reconstructing the shattered trench, and as he recognized the men thus busily engaged as his own, across his face flashes a smile, grim and ex-hultant. However, a gasp directly at his feet attracts his attention. It is the dying struggle of the German soldier whom he has pierced with his sword. In the man's hand is a piece of paper. "Military secrets, perhaps," exclaims the captain, as he snatches it up. The paper written in German, is sploched with blood and dirt. He laboriously makes out the following: " your furlough. "Every evening I watch little Dora run to the corner to meet you, as she used to do when you would return from the factory. 'Why doesn't papa come home?' she asks as she looks up wide-eyed into my face. Then I say to her: 'Run along and play, dear; papa will soon be home.' Then I turn away to hide my tears. "But you WILL, be home soon now. And tho you can stay with us but ten short days, how happy * * * * I will mail this tomorrow * * * I rejoice in tomorrow, for it brings you one day nearer to Your loving, GRETCHEN AND DORIS." "Hurrah, Captain!" said the lieutenant, striding up, "a magnificent victory!" But the man addressed made no answer. The lieutenant observed Mm kneel down and tenderly place a discolored bit of paper on the body a fallen enemy.

The new officers-are: President, Albert Hennes. Vice-President, Etna Shore. Secretary, Beatrice Louttit. Treasurer, Dennis Froth. Sarg.-at-Arms, M. W. Roop. Reporter, Christine Hermans. A committee reported Mr. Hall and. Mr. Brown as desirable photographers for our Klipsun work. After much discussion, a vote was taken and Mr. Brown was chosen. He will give us the glossy print for seventy-five cents and, judging by his past service, we can be sure of good work from him. Because of her new position as Bdi-. tor of the Messenger, Mrs. Shepherd resigned her position as Associate Editor of the Klipsun. Applications were called for and Bernice Welch, the editor- in-chief, will choose her new assistant. Dr. Herre has had many calls for lectures from outlying districts, but the result of over-exertion followed by illness prevented the fulfillment of his-plans. No one can say that our assistant librarian is not up to date. Miss Sands has just purchased a splendid new automobile. Miss MacKinnon, of the registrar's department, is now back at her work after a week's detention at her Lynden home owing to illness. Miss Baxter's new observation schedule is hot from the press. Mr. Bond will lecture before the citizens of Santa Fuga and Pilchuck, Thursday and Friday. Mr. Parish entertained Dr. Herre Monday night. The impassable condition of the roads prevented the Doctor from his customary auto trip home. Dr. Kirkpatrick gave an interesting talk to the parents and teachers of the Roeder school Monday afternoon. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 3 - Page 7 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 7 Buy It.

HOW I BECAME A TEACHER (Continued from page i) I was one of those chidlren that all teachers know, precocious in book learning and childish socially. I was occustomed to being in a class of what seemed to me to be men and women. Late one afternoon, in the shadows of the empty halls, one of the boys, to my utter amazement, asked me to go to the next social with him. I loathed sociables. I gasped and said "yes," because, like Aunt Jemima, I didn't know what else to say. I spent the intervening days trying to forget the coming horror. In my mind I settled one thing. If I lived through this experience, I'd have my wits about me and never, never, never say "yes" again. The evening passed and, in my judgment, was an evening of superlative stupidity. When the boy, in the innocence of his heart, proposed enthusiastically that we go to the next sociable together, I was ready and replied sweetly that I didn't care to. Notwithstanding my inauspicious beginning in this uncatalogued department of college curriculum, I added to my college course and to my course in music a very comprehensive course in this department, with considerable very satisfactory post graduate work. I look back upon all three lines as being of great value to my professional career. I was very patriotic. One day I saw a squad of college boys going down to vote. The leader was one of my chums. He was just twenty-one and going to cast his first vote for president. They shouted and swung their hats with enthusiasm. It thrilled me as I witched them. I was a better student than he, could beat him in an argument and loved my country, but when I would be twenty-one I would not be allowed to vote. The thought gave me actual physical pain and it rankled until we won the vote here in Washington. The year after graduation I taught my first school—a little country school three miles from town. Things moved placidly and I could have had the school the next term if I had wanted it, but when I think of that term of work I am always tender hearted towards the poor teacher. I boarded at home during that term and mother took me to and from school in the carriage. On these drives we began definitely my study of bird songs. I had a chance for extraordinary work in nature study, due to my wonderful progressive mother. She had a genius for enjoying outdoor life. She made our home of five acres one of the first bird sanctuaries in the United States. Families of every bird of the prairie nested at Pinewood and we fed and protected them. In addition to the choice stock from the nursery we collected for these five acres every plant, shrub and tree possessing landscape value that we dis covered in our drives. There was always a spade under the buggy seat for emergencies. Then we also had a pond stocked with fish. We could pick up the young ones in our hands if we fed them. If you think there is nothing to see in such a place, watch a parent cat-fish taking care of its young in an overstocked pond! One of our family pleasures in the hot summer days was to drive to the river and have a sunrise breakfast, after which mother and father would fish, my sister would sketch and I would moon about under the trees, botanizing and writing. I had not once given up the plan to be a writer. When we moved to the new town I began teaching in the schools, but I always expected to quit teaching when I had made my success. I read, read, read and wrote. I should have turned it about. The summer I studied Darwin and Emerson was a landmark in my life. When I closed Darwin's "Origin of Species" I felt as though I had just been granted a glimpse into the workshop of God, while Emerson was a spiritual revelation to me. I taught with enthusiasm; poured all that I could of my outside studies. "Costly thy habits as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, or gaudy; For the apparel oft' proclaims the man." Shakespears advice is thoroly followed in these new ESJSSFT* Trimmed Spring Hats The simplicity of outline which dominates in the spring models, was seized upon as an opportunity to give individuality and distinction to them by means of rich materials. Trimmings are few, but suggestive of the Far East in color effects; bringing into prominence the hat fabrics as the back ground, and most prominent part of the hat. Silk floss embroidery, flowers, richly toned ribbons and a few metal effects constitute the trimmings; hats being covered with silk, satin, silk crepe, Milan and Milan hemp, priced $4.50 to $12. * J.

Phone 340 Bellingham - - - Washington music, drawing, literature, into my school work, but that was not my life work. I grew restless. I wanted to see the world. 1 wanted to go West, where they paid better salaries and life was worth while. The family could not understand how I could want to live in a dreary boarding house among strangers and teach in preference to living at home and teaching. And I couldn't tell why, either. I only knew that I did. It was the urge of individuality. It is like outgrowing one's clothes. We went to California for a winter, but that did not satisfy me. I wanted to work in the West. On our way home we spent a month in Washington, and stopped at Che-halis. Prof. Forrest was city superintendent of the Chehalis schools and he and his wife had been my schoolmates in college days. I accepted a position in this school and the family went home without me. The West suited me. I felt myself expanding mentally. Besides teaching, I accomplished my first little success in writing. But at the end of two years I yielded to the pleadings of my people and went back to a position in the old school in my home town. This little bit of success in writing taught me how long it was likely to be before I could make a living in that work. You see, my expectation had somewhat subsided since the days of the George Eliot dream. Then the teaching in the West had appealed to my ambition more than teaching in the East. I did not deliberately give up my dreams, but I temporized. I resolved that I Avould push for professional promotion until I had reached a definite salary, on which I thought one person could live, then I would be satisfied, •and take time to write again. It is very amusing how many people have made that same bargain with themselves. Advancement in work is easy enough in the East, but not in salary. From the first I fretted and grieved for the life on this Coast. I'm afraid I was not very gracious to the lonely home folk about again living in the prosaic East. Panicky financial condition at last pushed me into the freedom I fretted for. I came here seventeen years ago and most of the time have been "teaching algebra on the Pacific Coast," according to the despised, prophecy. When I reached the salary at which I had promised myself to go hack to my first love, and take up my dream again, I found myself captain of the-family ship and the limit was not enough. So at last I became in my own. dreams what I had long been to the-world, just a "school ma-am." And really, it isn't so bad, after alL IDA AGNES BAKER. Generally speaking, Merle Austine is— Is what?

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is interesting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still remain. The first year's graduating class numbered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certificates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning September, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new improvements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 specimens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, professional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two summers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the completion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A furnished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occupants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regular boarders will be given a voice in the management of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several conditions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogistic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends toward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching appreciation of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language depends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It pervades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very interesting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That coeducation be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is planning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program committee. The officers of the society for the first quarter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invitation was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the invitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thursday and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the programs more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, orations, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recognized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new students and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathematics and language, methods, practice, physical culture and society; because we are removed from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thousands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treasurer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organization is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-president, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treasurer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Appleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semester, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an interesting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged between the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a membership of 47 and there are still others planning to enter next semester, which will probably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will represent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room. The punch table, strewn with ivy and nasturtiums, stood under a canopy of old gold bunting twined with ivy. The Y. W. C. A. room was decorated in old gold bunting and golden maple leaves.

President Walter Nichols Vice-President Dorothy Jennings Secretary and Treasurer Ethel Cook Sargeant-at-arms Herman Smith ||: Brek-a-ke-kex, Quax! Quax! :|| Third Year. ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whitney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the following places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teaching in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gertrude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wallace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey.

We are justly proud of our paper, not for itself alone, but because it stands as a representatives of one of the foremost Normal schools in the northwest. We extend congratulations to every one who has been instrumental in raising and maintaining the standard now prevailing in both school and paper. It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, beginning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their support we could not publish a monthly paper.

LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English department last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the University at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

Another quarter's supply of ink is almost exhausted and this is another scribe's farewelL Another picture is added to the rogues' gallery of ex-columnists, and may our successors add humor, dignity, or pathos to the Viking pages. —W.S.N.S.— Abraham Lincoln has been found by psychoanalysts to. have had a Schizoid-manic personality because he is supposed to have liked obscene jokes. This discovery can't hurt his reputation. He was supposed to have been a Republican, too. ANNUAL EXERCISES TO FINISH TH1RIY-SEI FACULTY TO FORM AS ESCORTS FOR LINE OF MARCH OF GRADUATES. Local Orchestra DR. W. D. KHtKPATRICK WILL GIVE DIPLOMAS TO GROUP. —W.S.N.S.— Wouldn't it be interesting at this time of the year to look forward a bit and try to picture the graduates, say forty years from now. How many will still be teaching school? How many will have lost all expression except the "normal expression of a teacher"? Perhaps none of them will be teaching school forty years from now. We hope they wont for civilization's sake, and also their own. Just think how old-fashioned you'll be. —W.S.N.S.— A certain well known faculty member walked into The Viking office the other day .and said it was the messiest place in the school, and that she was ashamed to have any of her pupils come into such a place. If any of the teachers' offices had to serve as work room for twenty-five reporters it would probably be messy, too. —W.S.N.5.— Someone in this school has signed up for a six months school at a salary of $60 a month. Others have taken schools at $75 a month. And people talk about a standard of living. Even at $75 a month for a nine months school how long would it take a person to save enough money to go on to college. There may be hard times in other fields, but grammar grade teaching has degenerated from - a position to a job and almost to slave labor, for society still places strict qualifications, moral especially, on her school teachers. If anyone plans teaching school to make money he had better change his plans quickly. It perhaps is a good way to spend a genteel life of poverty, that is if you hold your job. But still can it even be an honorable profession at less than $75 a month? THE WEEK'S WORRIES Getting ready for final tests . . . Trying to sign three annuals at a time and signing your own in the confusion . . Looking for lost books .,. . Trying to turn in books not wanted . ...

Piling through a lane formed by the faculty the graduates will march down the front walk in, the usual drill formation to music'played by the Normal School orchestra. The invocation will be delivered by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith. The audience will sing "America, the Beautiful," following which the commencement address will be given by Mr. Ben H. Kizer of Spokane, Washington. Two selections, "Red Rose" by Hadley and the Ballet Suite, "Rosa-i munde," by Schubert, will be played by the Normal School Orchestra. President C. H. Fisher will present the class and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, will present the diplomas. The delivering of the benediction by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith will close the exercises. In accordance with the traditions of the school, the graduating class will hold its customary rituals-tonight in the auditorium and on the campus at 8 o'clock. Opening the exercises with the singing of the Alma Mater by the class, the procedure will continue as in the past. Charles Dowell, president of the Sophomore class, will present the key and book to the Freshman class. Vernon ^Leatha, vice-president of the Freshmen, will accept the trust in behalf of his class. After the singing of "The White and Blue," the graduating class, led by the Sophomore executive council, will go in a procession to the stone. The placing of the numerals in the storied walk will be done by Charles Dowell. When the "Aspiration" has been given by Louise Oberleitner, the procession will continue to Edens Hall, where a reception will be given in honor of the class. GRADERS GIVE PLAY FANTASTIC DRAMA PRESENTED BY SEVENTH GRADE PUPILS. In their regular training school assembly this morning, the members of the Seventh Grade Drama Club gave an excellent presentation of "The Slippers of Cinderella," a fanr tastic play. All the seventh grade teachers and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe helped in the preparation of the play, which centered around the domestic affairs of an English family who suddenly found themselves no longer wealthy and in need of a means to support themselves. Through the magic aid of a fairy godmother the affairs of the household were put in such a state as to put the family in a panic before they can get back to their normal atmosphere before the long-expected very wealthy aunt of the family arrives. Myra, the eldest daughter in the family, is played by Edith Farlow. Polly and Dolly, the twins, are very well portrayed to the audience by Margaret Boyd and Vivian Clark. Jack Whitmore is Jimmy and Agatha-next-door is played by Lorraine Elliers. Margaret. Jane Bruff plays in the role of Jane, the maid. Betty Burnet is Elise and Jean Wellington is the Fairy Godmother. MORNING ASSEMBLY ANNUAL GLASS DAY PRESIDENT FISHER DISCUSSES - WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE CLASS SINCE ENTRY. CUP AWARDED KLIPSUN MAKES GAIN FINANCIAL REPORT S HOW S BOOK TO HAVE SLIGHT EDGE. ENROLLMENT OPENS SATURDAY. JUNE 13 ADVANCED COURSES OFFERED IN SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. ELEVEN ARE PLACED APPOINTMENTS TO TEACHING POSITIONS ARE ANNOUNCED. Registration for the Summer quarter will be held all day Saturday, June 13. Classes will begin the following Monday at 8 a. m. Registration for the coming" quarter will be closed after the first-week of the opening of/the Summer session. Courses i offered are practically identical with those given in previous quarters with the exception that several special courses are offered to meet the needs of the advanced students. Many of the courses are offered for the first half of the quarter, and some for the second half to accommodate students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. Activity Fee Raised To counteract the recent budget cut, the student activity fee will be raised to eight dollars and the library, health and paper fee raised to three dollars, besides the regular course fees and laboratory fees. Several new courses will be offered. Three new Home Economics courses will be taught by Miss Frances Wiley. They are Home Economics 101, Foods and Cookery, a five credit course for students preparing to teach Home Economics. Home Economics 105 is a three As a fitting beginning to the annual Class Day activities, the regular Class Day assembly was held this morning at 11 o'clock in the auditorium. The presenting of the Freshman Cup by Charles Dowell to an outstanding Freshman student started the program. Vocal Solo Given It was followed by a vocal solo by Charlotte Glinesky, accompanied by Aileen Hurlbert. Miss Glinesky sang the charming little number called "Piper June," by Molly Carew. Under the direction of Miss Mildred Jewell of the Physical Education department, the graceful flowing "Valse" was performed by a group of students in the Natural Dancing class. Lois Hesseltine, Virginia Howell, Edythe Koski, Mary McDonald, Evelyn Montgomery, and Wilma Neeley interpreted the rhythm with a subtle grace. Farce Produced With his usual masterly technique and interpretation, Jack Schafer played the "Staccato Caprice" by Max Vogrich. gt; Presented by the Play Production class under the direction of Frances Benson, the amusing farce, "Lov» Is Like That," by Ryerson and Clemens, was a light touch which pleased the students. Frances Wilmarth, Effie Deighton, and Isabel Jenne were starred in the production. President Fisher Speaks As an appropriate climax to the assembly, President C. H. Fisher addressed the students with an inspiring discussion upon the work done by the graduating class. The main business at the -final meeting of the quarter of the Board of Control last night consisted of some back business and bits of rour tine work. Masters, Ruckmick, and O'Donnell were not in attendance. Klipsun Ahead Three of the items dealt with the recent publication of the Klipsun. Suzanne Waters was voted the salary due her for a year's work, which amounted to $100. David Morse reported that financially the book was successful and came out a few dollars ahead.

First Winner 130 GRADE POINTS AGGREGATED IN TWO QUARTERS. NICHE IN LIBRARY IN HONOR OF MISS EDENS PLANNED BY SPIESEKE FISHER ADDRESSES ALUMNI GATHERING STRESSES FUTURE GROWTH OF NORMAL AT ANNUAL EVENT. Pointing out some of the problems that the officials of the school have had to meet during the past year and following through with Wilfred Gunderson, modest, red* headed, studious Freshman youth, stepped forward in assembly this morning, his freckled face beaming happily as he heard the sentence: "First winner of the newly established Freshman Scholastic Cup." Four classmates of Gunderson's received honorable mention. In each case their scholastic standing was said to be unusually high. Four Get Mention These four are Paul Williams, president of the class, son of Professor Pelagius Williams and Whatcom high graduate; Dorothy Top, who hails from Everson, a Whatcom county town; Nellie Cox, another local student who completed her high school studies at Whatcom high; and Enid Rasmus, who is an put of the state resident, and who graduated from Astoria, Oregon, high school last spring. Gunderson's record is one of un-' usual high grades, and figured on the basis of the grade point system amounts to 130 points for the Fall and Winteii quarters studies.

This week, which marks the final issue of the spring quarter, finds The Viking down to six columns. Things are slack, news is hard to get, students are busy with exams, and the paper is appearing three days ahead of schedule to catch the Freshmen before they leave for home. Or maybe it is coming out short columned on account of the fact that the warm weather has rushed the summer season to a certain extent. (These facts ar^ published through the courtesy and cooperation of Mr. L. A. Kibbe, of the faculty, who is the proud owner of every annual published by this school, with the exception of that of 1901. Mr. Kibbe would be very interested in tracing the whereabouts of this one edition.) WE ADVISE, TEN There are over two hundred students finishing up this quarter tomorrow with the certified right to go out and accept jobs to teach youngsters in grade schools. They have had a taste of this work already in their practice teaching and yet there will be problems that will have to be met face to face, placing a responsibility on these people when they receive that diploma tomorrow morning. There are those that have proved themselves fully qualified to go out and take their first school, or school room, as it may be. Others do not appear quite as ready for the task as some of their fellow students, while still others, though we are not authorities on actual teaching fitness, are probably incapable of standing any strong headwinds in their flimsy built crafts. We do not draw our blunt cross-grain of this class, any class for that matter, for they are all divided between the excellent and the poor, by their actual ability to get grades or not to get them, but considerably on their faculties to harmonize with colleagues, strangers, enemies, or varied and new matters that present themselves daily. We are not throwing out innuendoes, nor attempting to "rub" any of those that we have so generally classed in the above part of the article, nor are we thinking of any one person. We do feel that we have a bit of advice that all will agree is logical and a bit that many can well afford to look themselves over carefully for and then inject it into the system if lacking, and if there to still bring in to bear weight—COUNT TO TEN BEFORE ACTING. Few phrases are more widely known, few simpler, few more logical, few more laughed at, and few better for the student starting out of this institution to teach for the first time. That division that includes those well qualified for teaching according to high scholastic marks will include one or two that will encounter trouble by failing to count off those digits and then to use the "Ol' bean next." It will apply to any other of the individual gradings we have slightly outlined here. Don't forget that there will be that student banked upon to make an absolute failure of his first year's work, that will get down and take himself seriously enough to use his energies intelligently and will do a real good job. We sincerely hope that all those graduating tomorrow will be able to land positions before the school year starts next fall. . It is a calamity for them to spend two years or more in preparing themselves for such work and then be unable to get employment. Many have borrowed money that must be paid back and have gone through all that study with the hopes and worries connected with the necessity of getting work. Times are hard, competition strong, nothing can be done to alter the layout at the present, but we can all hope for the better and not 'become too pessimistic and lay down our endeavors as hopeless. We have attempted to serve all under this regime of the paper during the past three quarters with a sheet that is a worthy organ of the school and one that has the best standards obtainable for the situation to be met with each issue. We have made friends and enemies—we expect that in the position we are in. We have listened—sometimes not patiently— to harsh and destructive criticisms, and we have been pleased and honored with handshakes for attributed good work. Modesty is nice, but "he who tooteth not his own horn the same thereof shall not be tooted." Consequently we are not committing error in our own minds by informing the students and faculty that we think we have given them a paper that is worthy of the place accorded in the school. We brought the school a first place from a national paper judging contest that had widespread competition, open to any. We have brought it news never given to the students previously until the following week. We have kept it to many high levels in departments that have been set for us by our predecessors. We have erred several times and have been willing to admit it and do everything in our power to smooth things over so that no harm would come to the school or the individual from it, while we also feel that we have received several knocks and slams entirely unjust and not due us. Through it all we have enjoyed ourselves and feel that the ultimate result is many friends worth having, and we wish to thank all those that have co-operated with us—impossible to do it alone. We hate to see many of the traditions started with the forming of the present graduating class into a freshman class, shattered, so we hand out our goodbye and best wishes now and don't forget—COUNT TO TEN AND THEN USE "THE OL' BEAN." We read where a California judge rules that anyone seeing liquor in a friend's house and failing to report it, is likewise a, law-breaker. Whether the situation is on the prohibition question or not, it will be a hard world to(get along in if everyone is ?fcutting the throat" of his neighbor.;: Revenge will reign supreme.^ ;-.-=^-..- ^?/V.': Would it hot be fascinating to go back thirty-one and a half years ago and witness, the formal opening of this State Normal school? Were You There? Taken from "The Normal Messenger," Fall quarter number of December, 1899, is the following excerpt: "The formal opening reception of the Normal school was held on the evening of October 28. The board of trustees, the faculty and the students received their invited guests, who included the citizens of New Whatcom and all those interested in the building, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. Among the distinguished guests who were present were Governor and Mrs. John R. Rogers and State Superintendent of Schools Frank J. Browne. A short informal program was presented and refreshments were served in three of the recitation rooms." "She Liked It" From the sublime upward we find notes concerning every form of student and faculty activity, headed by "Truth and Love, the Watchword of the Teacher," an article by the first English instructor, Jane Con-nell. A note from the gay old nineties (this time in the advertising columns) showing that times have changed, but not enough to eliminate those dear old advertising columns: "Bicyclers, Take Note!" "Sarah came into our store, Ordered soda—liked i t - Drank it up and had some more And then went out and biked it. Engberg's Pharmacy, Fairhaven, Wash." First Editorial "To .the People of the State of Washington, Greetings: "Far up ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 June 10 - Page 3 ---------- S^^^:^* ^-tfiS6 U •\,\\..'.By JIMMY STODDARD Wilson Gaw, new Seattle Indian outfielder, and former captain of the University of Washington baseball nine, certainly started his professional career off with a bang. Against the San Francisco .Seals last Saturday, Gaw, in his first trip to the plate, cracked put a home run on the first ball pitched. George Pocock, famous builder of racing shells, who has had his headquarters in the Washington crew house for many years, will have special interest in the regatta on the Hudson this spring. Pocock fashioned seven of the nine shells that will carry the nation's leading crews in the yearly classic. Lake Washington, on June 16 will be the scene of one of the most novel crew races ever seen on the Pacific coast. The crews are called the light weight oarsmen and average about 150 pounds. A newly formed crew from the Husky realm and Don Grant's famous lightweight crew from Yale will tangle for honors. The weight of each crew is not to exceed 1,200 pounds. Gordon Broadbent, a Viking two-year letterman in tennis, was seen roaming about the campus Monday. Gordon was a star on the courts about five or six years ago. gt; It seems to be pretty hard for Norman Bright to leave his old stamping grounds, i. e., the Normal track. In his tapering off work he seems to be putting as much conscientious effort into it as when he Was driving for his record mile two Weeks ago. In a true spirit of something or other, Mr. Sam Ford offered the Co-op baseballers a free candy bar if they downed the Krew. Needless to say, they did. Bronzed athletes of the University of Southern California swept into the National Collegiate Athletic Association track and jfield championship last Saturday with a record smashing total of 77 1-7 points. The Trojans won overwhelmingly. / Their nearest rivaly Ohio State, scored 31 points. Talbot Hartley, U. of W., placed fifth in the 440-yard dash which was won by Williams of U. S. C. Eddie Cenung, defending half-mile champ from Washington, placed third in his event, which was ywon by Dale of the University of Chicago in a thrilling 1:53.5 race. Cenung was but two or three strides behind. College studies suffer more from students dancing than from athletics, says Dr. W. Hamilton Fyfe, principal of Queen's University. Dr. Fyfe admits, however, that "it would be a waste of words to deplore at length the excessive demands of dancing upon the time of some students." Athletic students are .better students than those who spend their spare time dancing, he declares. Seems as though our athletes about school are getting as much of a workout affixing their John Henrys to the new Klipsuns as they would if they were turning out under the coaches. In closing this column for the last issue of this quarter we think it would be entirely fitting-to make a brief survey of the past three quarter's athletic ventures. —o— Last autumn Coach Carver's gridiron men, playing extraordinarily strong teams, did not fare quite so good as far as wins were concerned. They downed the U. S. Coast Guard, Centralia Junior College, and tied a strong College of Puget Sound machine. They dropped games to Cheney, Ellensburg, Oregon State Normal and St. Mar-r tins.

GISSBERG PITCHER Surprising even their most ardent supporters, the dope-upsetting Co-op baseball "ten" won the spring quarter intramural baseball championship by dropping the Kitchen Krew 14-2, Monday evening, in as fast a game as has been played this season. By virtue of this win the Bookstore squad rests on top of the tattered heap which represents the downtrodden and defeated Kitchen Krew, Reynolds Hall, and Fire Hall.. The Co-ops have not played spectacular ball this season but certainly possessed the necessary punch when the pinches came, and we might say that these so-called "pinches" didn't come very often, as the Co-ops usually had enough lead to coast along. Gissberg Pitches The Co-op pennant wnners entered the season play-off with the Krew and Reynolds as the decided underdogs, with the Krew favored to wade through the opposition with little trouble. Rollie Gissberg has been the outstanding moundsman of the series. He was borrowed by the Reynolds Tong and set the Krew down with a 7-6 defeat. This win "deadlocked the three teams for the pennant. Then going back to his own roost, Gissberg twirled his team to an 18-4 victory over the Reynolds team to give he and his mates the second half championship. Then tangling with Skotheim for the third time in the series game, Gissberg again came off- with top honors with a 14-2 win and the season pennant. Needless to say, he was given outstanding support by his teammates. The winners started their part of the game off with a bang, scoring two markers in the first inning. They scored again in the fourth and saw the Krew push across their first marker in the fifth. In the fifth the Co-ops found Skotheim's offerings and before the barrage of hits had ceased they had pushed across four runs. The Krew attempted a rally but succeeded in rolling in only a single man in the sixth. The Co-ops started on the Krew offerings in the sixth where they had left off in the fifth. But this time, before the smoke of battle had swept across the field, the Co-ops had swept across the plate for six runs. Then as a good chaser, the winners broke into the scoring column for a single digit in the final inning. The dust, wind and sun handicapped the players and as a result a few errors were made. The Krew were the greatest offenders and let in several runs via the blunder route. E. Leatha had a perfect day at the plate for the winners, with four bingles in as many attempts. He was followed by Gissberg, who cracked out three hits and as many runs. Davis, Osborne and Stude-baker led the percentage column for the losers with two hits each. This game ended intramural activities for the Spring quarter. More teams will probably be organized during the summer session. o SERVICESJRE HELD REV. JAMES WILSON DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. Last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the baccalaureate services were held for the Normal graduating class of 1931 in the Normal auditorium. Wilson's Sermon The Rev. James M. Wilson, of St. James' Presbyterian church of Bel lingham, delivered the sermon to a large and interested audience. Prances Maurer sang a solo, "O Rest in- the Lord," by Mendelssohn. , The reverend's theme was "Research and Reverence for' Science and Religion." ? Truth, said the minister, is to be found in both these fields, and the truly scientific man is religious. Mr. Wilson \ said that the search for truth leads to God. One is not dependent upon finding God in natural things, the minister held, but may find Him within hisown personality^ The nigh-est;. expressibn of ;Gpd is :m 'the. per-; s6n£iii^;oX;-:^s^ *-';^ BelfefFuled Ladder tournaments in golf, hand* ball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, and baseball are the men's sports planned for the Summer quarter.; Under the supervision of Howard (Dutch) Wilder the first half of the quarter will be taken up with intramural' basketball. There will be four or five teams in the league. If competition is as keen as preceding summer sessions, all men turning out fortius sport will see real action, j The climax will be two games with;jthe University of Washington summer squad. One. game will be played on the local floor and the other in Seattle. R.: E. (Pop) Gunn will have chargeof the last five weeks of the quarter. Intramural baseball will take the lead. Plans are being formulated for the organization of teams which will participate in league races. A heavy schedule of games is being planned. It is undecided at the present time whether the hard or soft ball will be used. The soft ball seems to be the most desirable. The decision probably will be left up to the players. Some of the old timers such as Tiny Blankenship, Zeke McCurken, Johnny Kure, Boltun, Granny Thor-lakson, Oscar Thorsen, Leaden, H. McCleery, J. McCleery, Iverson, and Skotheim will be out fighting for places on the different teams. o Heavy Schedule of Sports Planned for Girls This Summer A most interesting and varied sports program is being planned by the Women's Physical Education Department for summer school students. The major activities will be archery, baseball, and tennis, coached by Miss Genther and Miss Jewell. Turnouts will begin soon after the quarter opens, and managers will be chosen by the teams themselves at an early turnout. •'-•'•• Schedule Adjusted The schedule of sports is adjusted to the summer recreation program, which sponsors weekly hikes on Wednesday afternoons, and turnout nights for the major sports are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be group turnouts in baseball, and at these times both the men and women of the school will participate. Tournaments for these sports will be held, and there may be a horseshoe tournament also, depending upon the number who are interested. Miss Genther is taking Miss Horton's place as swimming instructor and she is planning various swimming activities. A large number of W. A. A. members are returning to school, and with their help this summer's sports program should be an exceedingly good one. o TEACHERS SELECTED FOR SUMMER SESSION (Continued from Page One) R. E. Gunn from the Normal will be the instructor in Physical Education for Men. Miss Jennie Waugh, who will instruct in Speech, has an A. B., Tarkio College, Missouri; A. M., Northwestern University, and has been instructor in Speech at Hastings College, Nebraska. Miss Frances Wiley, who has been instructor in Home Economics at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will teach in the Home Economics department. Wells From Oregon Earl W.

And what will we wear? Never before have pajamas been so popular as this summer, and heres an idea we saw the other day. What could be more clever tharl a "3 in 1" outfit, which combines a house frock, gym shorts^ and beach pajamas. Minus the . skirt you have a charming oner-piece gym or clogging suit (everyone's clogging nowadays), button on a skirt at the waist for a dress, or fasten on two skirt sections at the bottom of the shorts for floppy legged pajamas. When yon get the necessary coat of tan (quite painlessly if you use a sunburn cream), you may adopt the bizarre Algerian colors—and white—for these are the most popular for summer. Exotic hues of red, green, yellow, purple, and blue clash with amazingly good taste in most charming materials. Pajamas are of hardly, rough materials— jerseys, linens and rajahs are practically the entire list tolerated by fashion. Large floppy beach hats are picturesquely showing up on the beach, and also quite the best looking beach shoes we've seen. Sandals are made without toes, straps hold them hi place, and the fabric is gay flowered and striped canvas and" kidskin. And since the necessity of Wearing bathing suits is impressed on us by officials, our attention turns to their looks. Two-piece suits are favored by many, and also the Lido suits with straps to allow for sun tan, are as popular as last summer. White suits are a pleasing contrast with an olive complexion. Bernice Anderson wears a summery looking suit of rose colored silk trimmed with stitched bands which is extremely good looking. And Eileen Finley has a new creation in the way of hats, which she assures us is taking the place of the beret in Paris. It is a sort of a boucle with a jtwisted banc^' round the tight fitting crown, and makes a very chic appearance. o HUNT AND REPORTERS REPLY TO COLUMNIST (Continued from Page One) On Thursday evening, June 4, the Vanadis Bragi held its last meeting of the quarter. After a short business meeting, Miss M. Hickman, director of the Girls' Reserves in Bellingham, held a discussion on the work of the or7 ganization for girls.

Roger Chapman, from Vanacou-ver, and' he always adds Washington when telling his home town, is associate editor and caretaker of the "Bull." Journalism, too, is his chief hobby and he was formerly a reporter for the Portland News. He is a first year student and after another year at Normal plans, attending the University of Washington. Society for The Viking columns is faithfully handled by Hazel Lehman, who comes from the capital city of Washington. She has been active in activities at Normal and especially in journalism. She Was women's sports editor of the 1931 Klipsun and is a member of the Scholarship Society. This summer she will" work in Olympia and plans to attend the University of Washington next year. Evelyn Altman. is copy editor and is a freshman at the school. She does not expect to be back next year, but will take journalism at the university. Her home is in Nook-sack. Aside from the editorial side of the newspaper she is interested in the typographical side, having worked in a printing establishment and run the linotype. _ ' -——.—o SULLIVAN PARTY A charming June party was given last Saturday evening by Helen Sullivan at her home on Chuckanut mountain. Cleverly decorated with Japanese lanterns on the wide veranda and extended grounds, ^h air of exotic Oriental splendor p r ^ o i o i r a ^ . ; iy! FISHER SPEAKS £\:£. ^ - ^ M ^ B A N Q I J ET (Continued from Page One) much in praise of pur -board of trustees. These men behind the scenes met our emergency situation in a magnificent way. Had the board of trustees been made up of men of less vision and understanding we might have a different story to tell. According to the outcome Of our difficulties there has been pre^ served everything that is significant and that is essential. Both students and faculty have responded to the demands of the situation with a wonderful spirit," the President stated. Some changes were necessary to assure the operation, of the school under such a financial handicap, President Fisher pointed out, but he expressed his gratitude to every member of the faculty for their co-operation. President Fisher told the Alumni that a junior high training school to accommodate about 150 students was greatly needed at the Normal so that teachers may prepare themselves for that division of the profession. Teachers Co-operate Although the cutting of salaries was necessary because of the reduction in the budget, not a teacher in the school resigned or refused to sign a- contract for the coming year because of reduced salaries. A welcome was extended to the Alumni. The spirit of the school was lauded and President Fisher said the Normal was a school to be proud of by all graduates. Stress was laid upon the requirements for teaching which have been raised from the three months of a few years ago to three years beginning next fall. He briefly described the first class of 1900, composed of eight women, as compared with the present year, when about 220 will be graduated. The school has graduated about 6,500 students since 1900, he said. Herbert Hansen, of Seattle, a graduate of 1921, was elected president of the Alumni Association for the next year. Hansen succeeded Kenneth Selby, also of Seattle. Selby was not present at the banquet. Lyle Summers was chosen vice-president to succeed Albert Booman, of Lynden. Booman acted as chairman at the banquet. Georgia Gragg was re-elected secretary-treasurer. A fund will be established by the Alumni to purchase books for the library. The fund will be a memorial to the late Olive Edens, it was said. Diplomas Presented Dr. Fisher presented 275 life diplomas to those completing the necessary requirements. He said, that teachers found it morel, difficult each year to qualify for the diplomas. The requirements are made strict to improve the educational system, he said. Washington state should be proud of the high standard that class room teaching has attained, President Fisher said. Representatives from a number of former graduating classes were called upon for brief talks. Miss Emma Whitworth was a representative of the oldest graduating class of the school. She belongs to the class of 1901. Others heard in talks were Mrs. Ethel Birney Laube, 1906; Herbert Hansen, 1921; George Abbey, 1926, and Miss Mary McDonald, 1931. Miss Frances Maurer was heard in vocal solos. Albert Booman called the roll of all classes. The entire body joined in singing school songs. Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the board of trustees, was scheduled to talk, but was called away early in the evening. Program Song Alma Mater Presentation of Life Diplomas President C. H.

Considering the number of Seniors enrolled, a greater active interest should be displayed toward class affairs: It may be emphasized that the boys aren't so scarce that they need all be excused from attendance. If you are a Senior, pull for your class. Don't let the other feiiow do it. Co-operate, and by so doing, help both yourself and the class of which you are M'COMAS ELECIED PRESIDENT OF 1HE a. member. BIG MIXER TO BE HELD ON NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT The Juniors have started Liu year auspiciously by electing a splendid corps of officers for this first seni lt;ester. Sian-ley McComas heads the list for president; Blanche Davey was chosen vice president; Katherine Meyers will tike charge of the work of secretary, while Ff.hel Ashley will serve as treasurer. With these efficient officers the Juniors are starting off with a vim, by announcing a mixer for Saturday night. Proceeding the election of officers, a lively and entertaining program was on-joyed: Songs l gt;v Junior Trio Ethel Ashley, Helen Gadc, Veda Morfat Reading, "At Dancing School" Robert Caulkins Song "Everybody Calls Me Honey".... Mildred Byies B. S. N. S. The Y. W. C. A. was very fortunate Thursday in having Dr. Louis Sperry Chafer give one of his inspiring Bible talks. Dr. Chafer took for his theme the three classes of man: The Natural, Spiritual and Incarnate. Under one of these classes everyone has his place. He emphasized that to attain one's greatest ideal one should belong to the spiritual. All derived great benefit from this spiritual talk. EXCITING GAME BIG GAME SET FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON In a short practice game with Fair-haven high school last Tuesday, the Normal team easily defeated the South Side lads 34 to 0. Handicapped by a loss of several men and by a lack of a heavy line, the South Siders had no chance to score, altho several times they threatened the Normal goal. The game • altho of but half, regular length, was slow, clue to the fact that the Normal punched many holes in the South Siders' line. However, tomorrow will do much to show standard of Sam Carver's team Tomorrow, Saturday. Oct. 15, our team will lock horns with Sedro-Woollev and inasmuch as (hey have an exceptionally good team, the results probably will be very different. Sedro-Woolley lias practically an old team, one that has played together for two years and probably will play an open game, passes and many end runs. They easily handled Blaine, who in turn beat Whatcom, and altho Woolley had several men mutilated temporarily, they are on their feet again with a fighting team. If the Normal wins, it will be by no lopsided score. Paul Rairdon, who has been playing tackle, has been sick and it is doubtful whether or not he will play at Woolley. Ga as land and Fisher, halves, are both somewhat crippled. Quinn, with a "bum" hand, and "Gazzy" with a, bad "Charley horse" in the muscles of his leg.

These are the bel! signals in case of fire: 1 bell will ring for drill; 2 bells will mean tbe location of the. fire is in the Science Annex; -i bells, in the Main building; 4 bells, in the Training School; and 2 long bells will signal time for return to the building. Everyone take, heed to these signals. At this assembly Mr. Thompson again favored us with a selection entitled: "'America the Beautiful." WEDNESDAY-Oct. 12.

All of these will be a source of much interest and benefit. The Music club has an orchestra of five violins and a piano. This ambitious orchestra will help regularly with ' the Wednesday Assembly programs in the Training School, and seive at other times when called upon. The Junior High School students enjoyed very much hearing Mr. Thompson give John Drinkwaler's "Abraham Lincoln," and Longfellow's Hiawatha. The Columbus Dav program was held the 12th of October, in the main Assembly hall. Over thirty slides were shown, depicting scenes in the life of Columbus. Talks were given by different pupils as slides were shown.' Orchestra selections concluded the program. The 7A Science class went on a field trip Monday afternoon. The SB Arithmetic class has opened a bank. Different members of the class represent the various business concerns, such as. a grocery store, a dry goods store, a lumber mill, and others. One is a cattle dealer, one a farmer, one a real estate dealer, and one an automobile agent. There is a great deal of rivalry among the different concerns to secure business. The real estate dealer IIMS opened a new addition on the hill south of the Normal and is selling lots at the fabulously low price of $1,000 a lot. 'Pupils are learning to fill out deposit slips, make checks, borrow money and other necessary details. A visit to a local bank proved very instructive. Some very creditable and artistic posters may be seen on the walls in the lower halls, made by the primary grades. They are worthy of inspection. The primary classes also are preparing the bulbs for planting. They put them away in the dark and will bring them out in time for Christmas blossoming.

AVe feel this little poem of his, " I n After Days*' not only beautiful in itself, but inspired by an ideal we all appreciate. IN AFTER DAYS. In after days when grasses high O'er top the stones where I shall lie. Though ill or well the world adjust My slender claim to honored dust, I shall not question or reply. I shall not see the morning sky; I shall not hear the night-wind sigh; I shall be mute, as all men must In after days. 8 But yet. now living, fain would I That some one then should testify, Raying—"Tie bold his pen in trust To Art, not serving shame, .or lust." Will none? Then let memory die. In after days. —Austin Dobson. B. S. N. S. INCENTIVE FOR STUDENTS. Edward A. Thompson! Iiis name is an incentive to greater achievement! Indeed the story of Mr. Thompson's life is very inspirational, for he has risen so far above his affliction 1hat he is known as one of the foremost platform speakers of America. Mr. Thompson lost his eyesight shortly after his college days were over. At the time when this great misfortune overtook him, Mr. Thompson was studying to be a singer, but finding his inability to read notes a serious handicap to his success in the realm of music, he began the study of reading. Our hope, of distinction and success is born anew by meditating on the record of this marvelous man. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." How many of us only put.forth a mediocre effort and are content with the development of perhaps 40% of our inherent possibilities. Even in normals and universities the. percentage of students who carry subjects primarily for credit and are satisfied with barely passing grades is appallingly large. Surely the ideals and s'andards of attainment of this class of students are not very high. Their idea evidently is to just "get b y . " Of course, we must, have a certain number of credits to be Juniors and Seniors and lo graduate, but should not our primary aim be self-development to the fullest possible extent and should not our studies serve as a means in attaining this worthy end? If self-development is our aim we shall not confine our study of mathematics, for instance, to the text book but shall delve, if time permits, into all phases of mathematics as a subject. Again, we shall not study primarily for diplomas, but to become strong teachers. First, seek self-development, and secondly, credits and grades. PEP Are you school spirited ? Is our student body, as a whole, school spirited ? The school spirit of any school is only the composite of the school spirit displayed by each indivchial student. Don't forget that " a chain is no stronger than i t ' s weakest link." What are you doing to the school spirit of Bellingham Normal? x\re you making it finer and stronger or you weakening the Normals' school spirit? There is only room in Bellingham Normal for students who are school spirited—who have 'pep' and. lots of it. Be that kind of a student! Put your school first and leave Bellingham feeling that the Normal is just a little better because of your influence and the support you accorded student activities while here. This season the Normal has a football team for the first time in years, o you thoroughly appreciate this fact? If you do you will come out and root for the team at the game Saturday.

If so, the Normal Cafeteria has its place in the hearts of many, for figures show that during the summer quarter 175 to 200 persons were served daily. This quarter 125 to 200 are taking their noon meal iTicre. Due to the lowering of prices on certain food stuffs our cafeteria is able to serve food at remarkably low figures. Soups, pies and salads are examples of this. The insufficient stove space has been remedied thru the purchase of a new hotel range. From the following menu, one may gain an idea of the variety of dishes and prices of our cafeteria: Cream tomato soup 5c Creamed chipped beef 10c Baked potatoes oc Creamed carrots and peas 5c Scalloped corn 5e String beans 5c Sliced tomatoes 5c Sliced cucumbers 5c Sweet pickles lc Cheese 3c Fresh rolls, 3c; 2 for 5c Plain broad and butter, 3c; 2 for 5c Raisin bread and butter 3c; 2 for 5c Apple pie 5c Cream pie 5c 'rune pie oc Prune sauce 5c Doughnuts 3c; 2 for 5c Tee cream 5c Coffee, cocoa, milk 5c Candy liars may be obtained from ;) a. in. to 3 p. in., and ice cream may generally be had during the afternoon. The cafeteria is glad to order supplies for school parties or club .affairs. Supplies ordered through the cafeteria can be secured at lower figures than when bought retail. gt; On rainy days the waiting line is always longer and the cafeteria folk plan accordingly. It takes from 15 to 20 minutes to serve the ordinary line, but the Normal line is by no means an ordinary one. This line presents a fine opportunity for the study of certain phases of human nature and individuality. The difference in tastes, manners and customs is amazing. Much credit is due Mrs. Richards for her well seasoned soups, and homelike pies and cakes. Our cafeteria is self-supporting. Your co-operation will keep it so.

The only excuses that have held students from classes have been cases of colds and tonsilitis, none of whom wer'j very serious. In a short time the Detention Hospital will be ready. The Alkisiahs have furnished a room beautifully, as a memorial to Miss Baker. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 October 14 - Page 6 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1921 iEttatrjj £fata It is the plan of tins department to give its renders a systematic bird's eye view of the contents of the library, taking up in turn each of the ten big sub-divisions. Just browsing around is-poor policy; one never gets anywhere or knows the value of what he does get. The very best way to glean a general knowledge of books and of library usage, a necessary a set to every teacher. is to spend a litile time with each classification. This week's topic is Biography. Why should we read biography? Most of us have the idea that it's dry, hard to read, ancient; but that's the wrong impression. Why, just the other day .1 finished the biography of Jane Austin, English authoress, who became famous early in life; and it was better than fiction. To know something of the in timacies of another person's life, his trials, aims, and achievements, is to be inspired and encouraged. The best biographies are usually written by those, who esteem their subjects very hignly. Loekhart loved Sir Waiter Scott; Bos-well idealized Johnson. To read the life of one whose aims were similar to ours is to find a new frioMcl, and it is impossible to hnve too many such friends. It must be remembered also that the term "biography" includes many delightful informal letters full of the writer's personalities and containing interesting incidents of everyday life. Nearly one thousand lives are represented in our library by letters and autobiographies. The following list is especially selected for its value, interest, and variety, and is heartily recommended to everyone. The life of Thomas Edison, the most '•useful" man living in the world at the p?-esenfc time. A Life of Caviour, Italian patriot. St. Francis of Assisi. E. Grcig, the. great musician whose life was so full of purpose and sincerity. Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell. Don't finish this year without delving a little deeper into the life of this beloved leader. The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer. You students who suffer over lesson plans, take heart, for by striving and thro love of striving Alice Freeman Palmer when very young became president of YVt'llesley college. Life of Roosevelt. A timely book, of the vigor and simplicity of the great statesman. 1 A life of Helen Keeler. Booker T. Washington, the great negro leader. The Education of Henry Adams. One of the biographies that has caused moie comment than anv other of the present day. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson. The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Life of Jane Austin. Sir Walter Scott, by Loekhart. Boswell's Life of Johnson. Head the many posters in the library which explain the ten definite calssifiecV Lions into which the books are divided and know tne general grouping of the subject matter. Jn seeking books, remember that reference books and bio graph y are to be found in north room, magazines and periodicals in the south room, and all others in the middle room. Next week's? topic will be Art. A "new book" shelf will be placed in the library soon," opposite the charge desk, and will contain the very latest additions to the library. Posters above the shelf will contain information. A miscellaneous reading list, from time to time, will be recommended by different members of the faculty. The books so recommended will be entirely Small can Log Cabin Maple Syrup 25c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 G-arden Street, Near Oak outside of any course of study in any department. The following new books ought to give anyone a bigger and more sympathetic understanding of life: Miss Edens: Casuals of the Sea, by William McFee. A sea story with a big appeal. Smoke and Steel, Poems of Chicago, by Carl Sandburg. Letters of William James, Harvard psychologist. Miss Montgomery: Romance of Leonardo de Vinci, by Freud. Ten years were spent in compiling the facts herein given, and they accurately represent the life and spirit of the 15th and 10th centuries. Opal Whiteley, the Journal of an Understanding Heart, written by a child of seven years. Not originally written for publication. History of the World by H. G. Wells. The data vised is accurate; the record begins with anthropogenAr, about (iuOO B. C. 13. S. N. S. EXPERIENCES TEACHING IN THE DISTRICT SCHOOL A very interesting letter has been received by Miss Wilson, from Margaret Stapleton, in regards to her teaching "The last three weeks," states Miss Stapleton, "have been the busiest, most interesting, and most novel that I have ever experienced." Situated in the hilly wilds of Cowlitz county, near Pigeon Springs, is a little, old fashioned, twelve pupil school, where Miss Stapleton is teacher—and community leader. Th'e ittle school is on the other isde of the Kalamath river, and at present is access-able only by crossing the river on a foot log. However, when the rainy season ensues, it will be necessary to cross the river in a "hanging bird cage" suspended on a pulley and rope. The school itself is fairly well equipped, with exception to the library, which is composed chiefly of abandoned high school texts, piled in an old fashioned book case, in a very prominent part of the room. Due to Miss Stapleton's initiative, borrowed books will be procured from the T acorn a Public Library, and the State Traveling Library. The "teacher's quarters" are rather unique, tlio perhaps not to be appreciated. The boarding place is a three-room log cabin, in a rugged, partially cleared valley. Tho very clean, the three-room house is shared by a family of five, besides the teacher. Altho the community takes an active interest m activities Miss Staple-ton remarks that she feels, "like an alien on foreign soil" as the people are nearly all Finns, and speak little English. Miss Stapleton enjoys her teaching more than any previous experience and enjoys life in the country. Vet, our former student misses Be'lingham Normal. Many of Margaret Stapleton's friends will be glad to hear that she is planning on returning to B. S. N. S next summer. B. S. N. S. Teacher—Cecil, compare the adjective, sick.

Mr. Hansen is teaching in Kent, Wash, and reports that the work is very interesting.

One buoyant Freshman was heard to ask if that was the committee that was the committee that handed out scholarships at the end of the year. It has nothing to do with the awarding of scholarships to the particularly deserving; rather, it concerns itself with the student who is falling behind in his work.. The members of the con.miUee arc: Miss Cummins, chairman; Mits Bell and Mr. Rakgkopf. The purpose of tins committee is to study the relation of the student to his grade standings. It is to see that students do not overload, and that grades are kept up to a certain standard. Another duty is to supervise the • standing of the athletic teams. In order that one team may have as high a standing as another it is requisite that only students of certain grade standards be admitted to the basketball, .baseball and football teams. This applies to either the boys' or girls' track teams, and also debate. In fact, any team representing school activities falls under this requ.is.ite. Thus it is not to grai.t scholarships, but to uphold a higli standard of scholarship that this committee is appointed and its members are at work. -B. S. N. » . — OUR "HELLO" DAYS.

Such beautiful blue and white wooly blankets piled everywhere, just waiting, it seemed, to cuddle a weary chilly yhv per; and pillows, quantities of them, inviting the drowsy head, brand new chairs, there were too, and crockery. Towels draped themselves here and there.- Several rugs were on display. There may have hem curtains curious vases, stands, pictures, and many other interesting things; but one quick glance thru a partly open door could but give a bare survey. There were people iu the faculty room, also, who seemed to be fingering the wares spread by the bazaar before them- and c-hatl ing affably, no doubt, over the prices and values. One could never guess the real meaning of it all. It lt;nul to do with the furnishings for the new dormitory. The girls who are to live there may count themselves lucky in being taken care of so completely and pleasantly. The merchants who made bids for the dormitory equipment were requested to present samples which were for a period of several days placed in the faculty room under observation of the Board. Up to the present writing no bids have been finally accepted. The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash.

T H IS IN CONSTANT USE Bellingliam Normal is unique among schools of its size, in the amount of its Student Loan Fund. Beginning with a nucleus of $400, donated by the graduating class of 1004, thft fund has constantly grown until at present $10,000 is at the disposal of Dr. Niisn and a faculty committee to loan to deserving students. Practically all of that amount is in use now. The Unit any student may draw ia $200. Mr. Allen, of Seattle, has proved himself a friend indeed, to many prospective teachers, as at two different occasions he has given generously to the Loan Fund, on the stipulation flint the sum he donated would he equalled by other conti ibutions. The faculty also have given freely to this fund. Letters received by the school from students who have made use of the Loan Fund show with what appreciation and gratitude these loans are received.

Miss Sperry returned Monday from Teacher's Institutes in Grant and Harney counties. The institutes were held in Canyon City and Burns,, Oregon. The program was very interesting, and Miss Sperry enjoyed every part of her trip Among those who helped make the Institute such a success were: W. M. Smith, assistant state superintendent; Professor F. L. Stetson, of the University of Oregon; Professor E. D. Kesseier, of the Oregon Agricultural college, and Miss Gertrude Lyons, superintendent of Grant county. Miss Lyons will be remembered here as a graduate of 'IS. She is doing splendid work in her field. Miss Sperry met several other Normal students at Canyon City, among them, Mrs. Von, of the class of 'I."), who is now head of the English department at the .Maker City high school; Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker Gunthcr, of the class of 1909, and Miss Pauline Paulson, of Mo. The country in which Miss Sperry visited is one of great opportunity and great possibilities. There are good schools and hard working, appreciative teachers. The great drawback is the irrigation problem. Canyon City is an old gold mining center, and was at one time the largest city in Oregon. ITarney county is the largest county in the United States, being nearly 200 miles long and comprises 00 million acres of land. " Miss Sperry drove by auto from Canyon City to Burns, a 70 mile trip, and from Burns to Bend, a 150 mile trip, thru desert and sagebrush. These cities are without railway connection and the stretches of country between these points present a touch of the real "wild west," with its picturesque barrencss and promising future. B. S. N.

IS LEADS IN COMMUNITY SINGING Mr. Coughlin returns to us, brimming over with enthusiasm about the institute work accomplished at Goklcndale, Klickitat County, October 3 and 4, where he was one of the leaders. Following the Portland route, Mr. Coughlin viewed the wonderlands of the Columbia. From Maryhill the trip was completed by stages. By route of the. main highway, the stage crept up the snake-like switchback, with a 5 percent grade to an altitude of 1G00 feet, the top of the .'Klickitat Plateau. From this point the view was most interesting, including four great mountain peaks of the northwest, M.ts. Adams, Hood, Rainier and St. Helens. Arriving at Goldendale the party was cordially received. Mr. Coughlin reports having seen many former students of Bellingliam Normal at the institute. Me brings back greetings from the students and teachers: Margaret Riddle, '19-20, District ii, Goldendale, Wash. Floisc M. Dickens, '21, Pine Grove. Wash. Margaret Wells, '20-21, Husum, Wash.

The appeal of the institute was mainly thru visualization. - A great number of stereoptican slides, depicting nature, were shown; and there also was a motion picture demonstration. Prof. Coughlin introduced community singing, in which he was ably assisted by a former Normal student. At first it was practically impossible to get the audience in a responsive mood. None of the songs that usually gather enthusiasm seemed to rouse the audience. Finally, when the leader was about to give up hopes, succumbing to desperate needs, he announced that anyone seen not singing the song "Howdy" and shaking hands with those on cither side of him would be considered as a "poor sport, and" said Mr. Coughlin, "such a shaking of hands and such a friendly spirit that arose, you never saw in your life!" There was a big gathering of fomrer Normal students, who wanted to know-all about the Normal, and about prospects for summer school. Mr. Coughlin visited two schools, conducted by former Normal students. They took him all around the country, and he reports it to be a great land for harvesting wheat. There are large crops this year and much fruit. In fact, every- Small picnic Shoulders, per lb 16c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 Garden Street, Near Oak thing points to a fine season, except the prices, which are very low.

Out into the deep waters of the channel it glided, pushing aside the water gently, guided by the bare brown arm of our moody boatsman. Further out it dared until the rythni of its swaying lulled us into a musing dream, and the shadowy white walls behind receded into darkened haze. The city of Venice was at rest. Its people, its boats, its sights and sounds were asleep. It seemed as if the mellow darkness of the night were a masterful being that barkened the noises and soothed the people into dreams; that arranged the strange silence, so full of tremulous whispers; that called to the fairies, beckoning and inviting them to play. The fairies he called were the moonbeam fairies and the fairies of the water —ail .the fairies of the night time. Shadow sprites came and danced at the edges of the water. We saw them flicker and wave and grow. They crowded into the corners; they covered the walls and houses with warm protecting arms. But the moonbeam dancers were all around us, in the open on the water. Our followers, they swayed and trembled and gleamed, lighting up the surface. Their dance was not dumb; it was full of song and light laughter, but the singing and the laughter were stilled. The water fairies we could not see at once, but we felt their presence and heard their hushed chant. Murmur low, liuir mur low! It rose and fell, grew and died. They chose the tiniest moonbeams for their partners and twinkled in and out of the water in merry circles. 13. S. NT. S .— DER STYLE AND BUSINESS.

The calibre of the Tennis and Baseball teains is high, perhaps the best yet turned out-by the school. The baseball teain has yet to lose a conference game.

XXII BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 NO. 21 E IS STILL ON; M i r HAVE SIGNED UP School Annual Epitomizes all That is jrfest in School Life. ' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best .in Normal School life. It is a record of achievement. Hundreds will keep and cherish it as a memorial of some of the happiest and finest days of their life. Everyone who has a hand in the task wants this year's book to be a monumental achievement, surpassing all previous attempts—a bood that, both in appearance and contents, all subsequent generations of students may strive in vain to equal. Two hundred fifty literary and illustrated pages bound in a beautiful blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and living record of Normal activities for 1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun. Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins, Editor and Associate respectively, may never be literary genuises but they undoubtedly will put out a Year Book that will surpass both in size and quality any Annual ever put out by the Bellingham Normal. The Klipsun is put out. not in the interest of any individual nor any certain group of individuals but for the good of all the students of this school. As has been iterated and reiterated through the columns of this paper, the publishing of the Klipsun is a costly undertaking. Every student must put his HORACE RAHSKOPF, Debate Coach.

S-STORY TELLERS P DEBATE TEAM IS READY TO START For the past two weeks, members of the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club have contributed their talent to eight programs. They have told stories to P. T. A. meetings, local and also those of near-by communities and assisted at several assemblies and missionary meetings. From all reports the girls are being enthusiastically received, and orders for programs are continuing to come in. Among other recent engagements they have filled are entertainments at Harmony, Lawrence, Sehome school, Washington school and a Presbyterian tea at the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes. The debate teams are being rapidly brought into shape for the Inter- Normal Triangular debate which takes place on the evening of Thursday, March 1. This debate has been an annual event between the three Normal schools of the state, since the offering of the Guy S. Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus, two years ago. According to the rules of the contest the school which wins the cup for three successive years may claim permanent ownership. For the past two years Cheney has secured the judges decision; so the coming debate will decide whether or not the Allison cup will find a permanent home in her halls. In the debates this year, the affirmative team in every school will debate at home and the negative team will travel. The Bellingham negative team will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as editor of the Messenger for the past quarter, was again selected for that position. Monday by the Board of Control at their regular meeting, her re-election being based upon efficient service during her previous incumbency. The choice of a trained editor for a second term is a decided step toward a better type of school paper, a demand for which has been insistently expressed by students and faculty. B. S. N. S.

On Friday, February 23, students of the Normal will be given an opportunity to view the projects completed this quarter by students of the Industrial Are department. These projects will be on exhibit in room 108. BLUE AND WHITE BRING BACK THE STATE TITLE The results of the four games played in the Eastern part of the state during the past week, gave to the Bellingham Normal the much coveted title of Champions of the Washington Normals. The eastern trip was made by Coach Carver and eight players, the group leaving on Monday morning and returning Sunday. The first two games were played at Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first game 26 to 22 and losing the second game 27 to 31. The third game was played at Cheney with the Cheney Normal, the final score being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men. It was the result of this game that the Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as on the result hinged the Blue and White's chances for the state title. The fourth game "was pin yed with Spokane College, with a resulting score of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane College. The three games in which the Blue and White hoopsters had participated required all their pep and consequently they could not handle Spokane college as they had wished. The student body as well as the many Bellingham followers of the game, have nothing but praise for Carver and his team. The games played this season and the scores are as follows: Normal, 50; Edison, 15 Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12. Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17. Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23. Normal, 44; Blaine H. S., 25.

The school which wins the largest number of votes from the nine judges at the three debates, is the winner for the year. The Bellingham affirmative team which debates Ellensbtirg here is composed of Christina. Peterson, Mildred Anderson and Lewis Arnold. The Bellingham team which goes to Cheney, consists of Rebecca Arnell, Frank D. Henderson, and Charles L. Simon son. They will be accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, debate coach, and Miss Mabel Shuey. This team expects to leave Bellingham on the afternoon train, Wednesday, February 28. The judges for the local debate with Ellensburg are: Professor Frank Laube, of the University of Washington; the Rev. Paul B. James, Christ Church, Seattle; and Judge Austin E, Griffiths, of the Superior Court of the State of Washington. B. S. N. S. The Campus Walk. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today, I'm tardy every morning; I was tardy yesterday. T hurry up the stairway, I hasten up the street, But the bell has always rung when T reach the classroom seat. 0 campus w~alk, 0 campus walk, how long thou art today. The cold north wind is blowing and the sky is dark and grey. The ice is very slippery and my feet will go astray, 'Tis a perilous business I can say. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how brief thou art tonight. The tasks of day are over and the sun is put to flight, The moon has just arisen and the stars are shining too. Like eyes they are shining from the blue. 0 campus walk, 0 campus walk, how happy I should be If your brief expanse would lengthen To a never-ending path, To a never-ending pathway only trod, by him and me, Oh, paradise on earth it would be! —E. D. T. B. S. N. S. The fresh spring breezes were blowing through the open windows of the school room, and George Washington was the momentous question in hand. "Why do you think George Washington was the first man?" asked the teacher. "Because he was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen'." Another boy then i-aised his hand. "Well, Johnny,- who do you think was the first man?" said the teacher. "Don't know his name," answered Johnny, "but I know George Washington was not the first man, 'cause my history says he married a widow, so there must have been a man ahead of him." KLIPSUN DRIVE IS STILL ON; MANY HAVE SIGNED UP. (Continued from Page One) or her shoulder to the wheel and push with all the strength of the price of one Klipsun, $2.50. OLIVER LNUERSOLL, Business Manager. Miss Keeler Boosts Klipsun. "All live, energetic, enthusiastic, and active students should support all worthwhile school activities," said Miss Keeler recently. "The Klipsun is certainly worth while and I cannot imagine any student leaving this school without one." Mr. Klemme Wo Dead Wire. •'This year's. Klipsun will be my eight-tenth," said Mr. Klemme. "I have saved one every year and I certainly do not regret it." Mr. Bond "Signs Up." "Of course I'll sign up for a iKlipsun," and Mr. Bond had affixed his signature and was off. Mr. Kibbe Values Klipsun. "I am keeping a library of Klipsuns," said Mr. Kibbe. "I value them very highly, and have tried to keep one of each issue." B. S. N. S. THAT SERIOUS LOOK. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wanders about, With a serious look and a sigh. . The teacher says, as he passes along, "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night. "You're working too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a- bit, Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother,' says he, "my guess is you're right, ' The Prof, says, Tm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are. that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion. B. S. N. S.- A "Billet-Doux." She was a winsome country lass, So William on a brief vacation, The time more pleasantly to pass, Essayed flirtation. And while they strolled in twilight dim, As near the time of parting drew, Asked if she would have from him A "billet-doux." Now this simple maid of French knew naught, But doubting not 'twas something nice, Shyly she lifted her pretty head Her rosy lips together drew and coyly said, "Yes, Billy—do," ~ - - And William did.

The Board of Control, last Monday, authorized Mr. Ford to increase the number of copies-of the Messenger to meet the demand. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 3 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23,1923 _ Z GIRLS HAVE FIRST GAME OF BASKETBALL MONDAY The first scheduled game of the girls' basketball was played Monday in the small gym, between the Alley Gang and Edens Hall. The game was interesting but one-sided; the Alley Gang team winning from the Edens Hall team by a score of 46 to 13. Remarkable team work was shown in the winning team. The guards took advantage of every opportunity to check the ball, and the forwards seemed to merely look at the ball to make a basket. The Edens Hall team was one chosen from girls who live in Edens Hall. Their representatives were: Ethel Dow and Pearl Whitmore; guards, liable Hickson and Julia Whitmore; forwards, Molly Curtis and Emma Coffman; and one substitute, Sarah Murphy. The Alley Gang team was a picked up team of some of the best basketball players of the Normal. The team was composed of: centers, Carla La Vign and Beatrice Thomas; guards, Marjorie Morrison and Ruth Gill; forwards, Agnes Tweit and Violet Mitcliam, and one substitute, Bernice Judson. B. S. N. S. Prize Awaided. Softly and gracefully they glided over the floor, stepping thru the intracacies of the fox trot. They seemed to float thru the mystic ether impelled by the rythmic throb of the music. The sleek-haired gentleman glanced confidently over the moving crowd, then down at his comely partner. Demurely she smiled back at him. All eyes were upon the pair. Who could they be? Was this some famous royal pair escaped by devious paths from the clutches of the raving reds of Russia? Could it be two at whose beck and call the most graceful dancers of an emipre once performed, now forced to entertain others for a mere pittance? No, such was not the case. Could it not then be two famous danssants stopping for a pleasant moment at the Bellingham Normal? Might not that flashing eye, those graceful movements belong to Mische Itoe himself? Might not the lithe lady be none other than the- one and only Madame Pavola ? No, it was none of these, it was actually Bill McNeil and Bee Anderson, showing the grace and form which won for them the prize trot Friday. The prize trot was such a success that it has been decided to continue it. The latest thing the social committee is considering is a prize for the whole quarter. A realty worth-whle reward will be given, the opinion so far favoring a watch. Position, grace, appearance, and general conduct on the dance floor will be the deciding factors. Bill and Bee have the inside track now, so the other Valentinos and Irene Castles will have to start early and avoid the rush. NORMAL GROCERY We Cater to Normal Student Trade.

Puppet With Apologies to Gunga Din You can speak of lack of fear, When you're seated safe out there And left to leave or take it; But when it conies to acting, It takes some moral backing To just get up and try it. Now on Normal's little stage, Where I spent what seemed an age, A servin' of her maqesty the W. A. A. Of all the pains I've knew The one that is most blue Is just to stand and o-a-a-l. t was act, act, act, You loony sap, don't turn your back, Now put some expression in it Or we'll kick you out this minute, You pooi- ham, out and act. Now the clothes I had to wear Would have frightened off a bear, You can's- blame me that I wished to run For a lot of stick black And some rags dropped on your back Is bad enough for anyone. You just sit and sing and laugh While you fearfully must chaff As the audience just looks and smiles And you feel the shivers slide Along your spine inside And you wish for distant miles. It was act, act. act. Oh! all the life you lacked! You could hear the stage hands whisper, "Show some pep, make it crisper If you falter, don't come bacK." I shan't forget that night! I nearly died with fright With a soft spot where my backbone should have been. I was chokin' mad with thirst And the man who scared me worst Was the prof who heads the expression clan. At last the act was done, The greatest vict'ry won, My head was gone it seemed. They led me safe away, To where a divan lay And this is what I dreamed. Act, act, act! Put some ginger in your act. If you don't put this thing over We'll just cover you with clover And -you'll never, never dare come back. ' -V.L. TRY WAHL'S NEW LOWER PRICE BASEMENT For Shoes.

Saturday night, February 17, the Phi-lomathean club of the Bellingham Normal School, held their annual banquet in the Pheasant Tea Rooms at 0:30 o'clock. To say the least, the banquet was a wonderful success and will long be remembered as a red letter day on each Philomathean's calendar of time. The Tea Rooms were very attractively decorated in the Philo colors, green and white, boxwood shrubs, and the Philo emblem, while pussy willows, green and white streamers, and green candles decorated the long white table. The five-course banquet dinner was proclaimed ''marvelous" and ••great" by 50 hungry Philomatheans, and each did healthy justice to it. At each plate was an attractive little place card containing a booklet which held the name and program and carried out the Philo emblem. After the banquet dinner a very interesting program was given as follows : Toastmaster Herbert Cederberg Song Donna ,K1 inker "Philo Husbands" Roswell Oliver Piano Solo Dorothy Clark "Philo Wives" Mrs. Sam Carver Group of Songs Margaret Saddler "Philo Students" Robert Tunst-all Duet Dorothy Clark, Byron Payne This annual banquet given by the Philos is always attended by a large number of alumni Philos who take this opportunity to get acquainted with the new Philo members; thus establishing a stronger union and good fellowship among all of the club members.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Washington summers are unequalled, and I've surely been treated royally since I came here last August," said Mrs. Emma Whipple, one of our most charming far-away students, who came to Bellingham last August from Wadena, Minnesota. "I only intended to visit here, but I found Bellingham such a wonderful place that I decided to take a course in music supervision at the Normal," declared Mrs. Whipple, as she modestly consented to be interviewed. Mrs. Whipple has taught piano lessons for twenty years, and she is scheduled to teach Fundamentals of Music next quarter. She is also a keen student of nature, and is much interested in agriculture. For ten years she was connected with the Agricultural department of the Minnesota State Fair, and she was the means of winning a silver loving cup for her county. If you are weary of lesson plans, and the strain of the end-of-the-term tests, seek Emma Whipple, and the sunshine of her smile will make life seem more worth while. B. S. N. S. Fashion Show in Prospect. Miss Longley's class in Home Economics 12, is working out a group of reports on the suitability and adaptability of various types of outer garments. Varieties of tailored suits, coats, and dresses, and a wide range of more elaborate silk frocks are to be discussed and illustrated. The unit may be developed into a fashion show 'in which mannequins, dressed in these types of garments, will supplement brief reports, and which would make an interesting assembly pro-o- ram.

The committee hopes that more students will realize that it is not a mere.go-between but a body with a very definite mission. It is not a negative group trying to tell anyone what not to do, but is a very positive group, working toward the goal of the most and best social activities possible. Under the regime of this year's social committee a great deal has been done. An unusually large number, of dances have been fostered by the committee, and some actually given under its supervision, as the Friday afternoon dances. Play hours have been provided, that all may be entertained. In every way the committee has tried to aid and further social activities of all sorts, but it is willing to admit that more might be done. The best way to get more done is by co-operation from the student body. In the matter of dance posture, the best possible spirit has been shown. There has been a ready response to all requests for what few changes in posture and style the committee has deemed it wise to ask for; but on the other hand there has been a great fault of omission. People have been heard to mumble, "Why don't we have more of this? or better of that?" But when pinned to just what they want and how it can be secured, they don't know that. That the committee is open to suggestions and will work on them is shown by the way it took up and put into effect concrete suggestions that were made for better music on Fridays and Mondays. If you really want something and have some advice to offer, see the committee. Cooperation means bigger things with less work. Give the committee a helping hand. This social committee, under whom precedent on dance events is being made wants to set a standard for future events. —V. G. L. B. S. N. S.- HOW WELL CAN YOU SPELL? You may be clever and studious but if you can't spell correctly , you are like a violinist with one of his violin strings broken. Judge Edwin S. Thomas of Hartford, Conn., gave a spelling test to several government officials, lawyers, and big business men. The test consisted of ten words in common use. These words were: Supersede, innuendo, inoculate, rarefy, vilify, repellent, plaguy, embarrass, harass, and picnicking. These are all words that one can use in ordinary conversation without getting a reputation for having digested "Webster's knowledge. Yet not one of these business men could spell all ten correctly. SEE WORTH WHILE MOVIES. Are you careful to select moving pictures that are worth seeing? A great many of your opinions and ideas are unconsciously formed as a result of the movies you select as recreation. These opinions you, consequently, impart to your friends. It is of vast importance whether or not your opinions and ideas are the right and proper kind. See pictures that will benefit you morally and mentally. See pictures that will miake you a little better. In this way, by patronizing worth-while pictures, you yourself will help censor the wrong kind of movies. B.S. N. S. What does the beginning of the new quarter mean to you? Do you consider it as an opportunity to be made the most of, or do you consider it as one more quarter of necessary drudgery? Make it mean opportunity and a new chance to make good, by discarding your carelessness and shiftlessness of last quarter. Be ambitious and take the extended opportunity. —A. L. CORRECTION.

"An island is a body of land completely surrounded by water," states "Dynamite," famous endman in the W. A. A. minstrel show. Reveille Island is far more than that. It is one of the beauty spots to be seen in a trip to the head of Lake Wnatcom and it is the source of interesting tradition and probable historical facts. Reveille is situated a mile or so above Nbrmalstad and forms an added attraction to our eighty acres. Normal students will probably become very familiar with the island as the eighty becomes improved. The island rises high above the water in a betutiful dome, covered with evergreen trees and underbrush. The sides of the island slope abruptly into the lake, leaving no beach and adding to the beauty of its form. Two thrilling traditions are told of the island. Many, many years ago, when this country was first settled, by white people the Indians fought, hard for their hold on the territory. Their last stand was made upon this little island in the center of Lake Whatcom. The English soldiers besieged' the little tribe and after a plucky show of endurance, starvation threatened. The Indians, being true warriors, would not surrender and so one morning just as the sun was peeping over the surrounding hills, they silently threw themselves into the lake and sank out of sight. As the last man disappeared the sweet tones of the morning reveille floated across the still water from the English camp. The island has since borne the name of "Reveille." Over two hundred years ago the territory around Lake Whatcom was claimed by an Indian tribe as their hunting ground. Their t war-like neighbors desired this valuable ground and war ensued. The defending tribe secreted itself in the underbrush on the island. As the enemy approached in canoes some slight movement disclosed the hiding place of the Islanders. A furious fight followed, both tribes launched in canoes', sending arrows at their enemies and trying to tip their canoes. Many Indians from both sides were soon trashing around in the blood-stained Avater. Suddenly they were one and all drawn steadily under the water and their frenzied cries brought help from their friends. As they grasped the hands of their rescuers the pulling increased and the remaining canoes were capsized. One Indian alone escaped and spread the news of the dreadful undertow that surrounds the island. To this day no Indian of the Puget Sound tribes has been bribed, coaxed, threatened or persuaded in any manner to set foot in a boat on the waters of the "Devil's" Lake. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASinN^ .0/:: NormatSoto 'Mildred Boyd, Dorothy Austin,. an:l Loris Jacklin motored with friends to their homes; in Seattle for the. weekend.

Arrangements have been made so that her credits for this quarter will not be lost. It was hoped that a crowd could be gathered to attend the Washington State College Giee Club entertainment at Mt.

Miss Ke'eler and Miss Cummins en-tertaned for Dr. Nash Sunday evening by inviting in a number of his friends for a few hours of pleasant conversation.

Helen Fraser and Frances Combs managed to hang over as pitients for several days, but the others went to school Monday. The Extension department is sending out letters to Washington high schools suggesting as commencement speakers, Mr. Bond and Dr. Miller. Mr. Bond, who is head of the Mathematics department^ will speaK on: "What mean ye by the Stones?" Dr. Miller, head of the Education department, will speak on "The American Spirit."

Nash, former president of Bellingham Normal, who is now president of the Congregatonal Foundation of the Congregational Church, spent Sunday, February 18, in Bellingham and spoke from the pulpit of the local Congregational church. Owing to the fact that Dr. Nash spent Saturday in Portland and Monday in Seattle^ he was unable to greet the faculty and students of the Normal, for which he expressed his sincerei, regret. •Mr. Robert Caulkins and Miss Frances Farrar are to play prominent parts in "The House Next.

Scene I. It is Friday evening, and the dorm is in its usual Friday evening confusion, but this .evenng it is not because of a student -affair, oh no, the girls are not selfish, this is a Faculty Party. "Will they all come? Did you see those funny little kid games on the tab'o. girls? Parehesi, table horseshoe, checkers, and lots' of others. I bet they'll have' a "good time, don't you? Miss Slmey said not to disarrange the furniture, .Agnes." Scene II. The scene, and the view is changed. The girls arc back from the party downstairs, and are interested in what is going on in the social hall. No one seems to be a bit sleepy.. "Goodness, is the faculty still there? I thought they'd gone. Is there any cake left? You' go and see, no one will see you, there are some girls in the kitchen, you can find put from them. You, couldn't get any? What a shame. Listen they are dancing now. Say girls, who wants cake when we can ese tlie faculty members enjoy themselves?" 'Come. Do'ores, I've • found a good l)iace. See, .we can turn out this hall li«ht and we can see from the ba.-k stairs window." Slowly a crowd of kimonoed girls gather around the window. "Oh, look! " We can see it all. Miss Be'ton is paying the piano." "I see Miss McDonald passing out the cake. Miss ' Shuey said- it was. devil's foo-1 and angel's food." "Oh, never mind the cake. Look!

Who is he, anyway, Prav.'e':" "Oh, T guess he's the new Prof." "Aren't they ever going? The students can't stay this late. I certainly like to watch them dance, tho." . "Say, girls, run, here conies Miss Long and Mr. Philippi with the dishes. Don't let them catch us here." They, run down the back stairs. "My, that Avas a scare; I never ran down stairs so fast in my life. Well, I guess they are going. We can get back safely tliis way.' Yes, they are going! There are on'y two couples on the floor now, aren't there? That's Dr. Miller. I believe he's just learning. He is going to stay till the last dog is hung. He certainly is human. He has a good time, doesn't he?. There, the lights are out. Let's go and see if there is anything left." " The girls quietly approach the social hall, and finding all quiet they enter the room recently so merry. "I found a valentine. I. bet it was the first prize. Whoever won it was more interested in the dance than the prize, evidently." "Is there anything in the kitchen?". "Nothing but some lump sugar." "Oh, dear, a n d ! got so hungry watch- 'n lt;r Mr. Heckman dance!" "Let's go to bed; We don't need any devil's food anyway." "Good night, ladies; Good night ladies." The crowd disperses, and quiet reigns once more. -B. S. N. S. iTUDENT LOAN FUND EXPLAINED BY DR. MILLER Few of us.ever give a thought to the Student Loan Find. In fact a surprising number of students did not know that such a fund existed, until Dr. Miller spoke of it in assembly on Monday. At present, this fvnd exceeds $17,000. and in the last year, over two hundred students have received aid. This loan is for the sole purpose of he'ping students who can not otherwise graduate, or who are in serious financial difficulties, it is not for personal convenience, and is not a scho'arship fund. To receive this loan, the student must apply to the faculty committee. After the committee has approved, the loan mav then .be obtained at the registrar's office. Money will not be loaned to pjop'c who have poor grades, when someoir: with higher grades needs the help. Students are urged to piy b gt;ck this loan as quickly as possib'e. It is nr-t necessary to return the loan in one sum. B. S. N. S.- D'uiarhter: "A certain young man sent some flowers this morning." Mother: "Don't .say 'a certain young, man,' my dear.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS DIRECT FROM OLYMPIA A bill has been introduced into the legislature which will make the state normals, four year teachers' colleges. If the bill is passed, the normals wi'l then have power to grant degrees in Bachelor of Arts and teach major lines for the professional training of teachers, school superintendents and school supervisors. They would also be able to train high school teachers. This would undoubtedly increase the enrollment thereby' add to the importance and prestige.

" While in this Chicago school of physical educaton, Miss Frank was a leader in all sports. In the fall term the girls turn out for field hockey and soccer—the teams are chosen in November and all the games are inter-class games. In the winter the girls turned out for vol-, ley ball. Miss Frank was a member of each team. Volley ball is the popular game in the east, and the American P.. E. College entered the Chicago tournament. Thirteen games were played and in each the Chicago College of Physical Education wei'e victorious, and won the gold cup trophy which was offered by the Amateur Athletic Federation. In the spring, indoor baseball, track horseback riding and swimming were the sports which Miss Frank also took; up. . An honor emblem is offered by the Chicago Physical Education college for. the two best all ''around athletes in the school. We are not surprised to learn that Miss Frank was one of the two girls winning the honor emblem.. An all around athlete, is a wonderful asset to any school and more so when they can be a guide for other girls in being all round athletes also, and we count ourselves fortunate in having Miss Frank as our assistant physical education director.

There was a superfluity of smiles and good cheer throughout their whole domain. Now, what was the meaning of all this excitement? It was for no other reason than that the pupils felt the presence of Dan Cupid flitting around the halls and in their class rooms. Dan Cupid was personified and represented by the large number of pupils who, with a mysterious letter or package in their hand would direct their footsteps to a certain large box placed upon a "pedestal" in one corner of the hallways. This "postoffice" was filled to overflowing with letters and packages sealed with red hearts the most of which bore the title "To My Valentine."

Stanford University, Feb. 12. Hazing died a sudden death at Stanford. Tom Irwin, editor of the Daily Palo Alto, decided at the time he received his hazing when a Freshman at Stanford, that he would go on the trail of partakers of these yearly festivities or "spanking bees." On January 31, of this year, Mr. Irwin caught seven Sophomores of Erims hall red-handed. The hall was given the alternative of agreeing to abandon the traditional method of discipline and adopt a system of Senior control, or of having exa*mples made of the seven. The sophomores decided to discontinue their methods . Their decision was also followed by Sequoit hall. The Chinook, Seattle: West Seattle High is boosting for cleanliness and asks: "What do you do with your wastepaper ?" "'What do you do with the papers when you clean out your lockers?" " Do you leave them lying around or do you put them away." We can honestly say that our halls, locker rooms are respectable as far as cleanliness is concerned and hope to keep them that way. The Ocean Breeze, Aberdeen: The editor comments upon success being achieved only by work. A great personality or a strong will power will not gain success for you unless you back up either of these two qualities with hard work. A person who may lack a strong personality and who is very meek may rise into the limelight if he works. Too many people are afraid of their tasks and shirk doing them. And according to the editorial if you are one of the latter join Coue's followers and say to yourself every morning, "I like Work." ' B. S. JST. S. The Right Size. It is said that once, when President Washing-ton was riding near Washington City, with a party of gentlemen, their horses leaped a rock fence: the last steed over kicked off several stones. "Better replace those," suggested the general. "Oh, someone will do that!" was the careless reply. When the riding party disbanded, Washington turned his horse, and rode back the way they had come; dismounting, he carefully replaced the stones. "Oh, general!" chattered a friend who came along, "you are too big to be doing that!" "Oh, no," replied Washington, as he stood gravely inspecting his work. "I am just the right size." HOTEL LEOPOLD LUNCHEON 60c Table d'Hote Dinner $1.00 Sam Rathman's Orchestra 6 to 8 p. m. Special Sunday Evening Dinner $1.25 BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE DISCUSS GIRLS' FINANCES An enthusiastic crowd of Business Girls met at the Dean's hour, Tuesday, February 20, to continue the discussion of Investment, held over from the Forum of February 6th. Marjorie Westall opened the discussion on the topic "How Can a Business Girl get along with less than $25 in the spring quarter above the cost of board and room." The speaker believes that this could be done if the girls kept their health and had their spring wardrobe to begin with. It developed that at least 13 young women are making out their spring budget with the expectation of spending less than $25 during the spring quarter above cost of room and board. Vergie Glance led the discussion on "What to do with $25 above living expenses." After a very animated exchange of views, the group decided on the following approximate division: I. Registration $4 to $6. (Lecture course 75c, nurse' physician 50c. Messenger, social life and athletics $1.50). II. Books, $4 to $6. III. School supplies, $3 to $5. IV. Miscellaneous, $5. (Toilet articles, stationery, stamps, ear fare, etc.) V. Religious work and philanthropy, $2.50. VI. Social and literary clubs (additional to 1) $2.00. VII. Cultural Advantages, $1.00; lectures and concerts in addition to I above. VII. (Optional) Clothes, savings or traveling, $5 to $10. Recreation in addition to I( VI and VII found in walking, hiking, birds or some other nature hobby and cultivation of friendships. Thirty Business Girls have limited their expense to $25.00 for the Spring Quarter. How would you spend $50.00 above living expenses? $100.00? In discussing the distribution of $50. and $100 respectively, above living expenses, the group decided that the difference should allow an increase in philanthropy, clubs, cultural advantages and provide a definite sum for clothes, traveling and savings. Fifteen girls of the group are planning to spend more than $25.00 above living expense in the spring quarter. Joy Taylor spoke on the budget system, advising her colleagues to eliminate foolish purchases and worthless entertainments in order to have money for things really worth while. In discussing the health of the Business Girl, it was unanimously conceded that no girl should undertake working unless she had good health and every Business Girl should see to it that she kept her good health through regular habits and by steadfastly refusing to be overworked. A pleasing diversion was furnished by the reading of two original poems from the pen of Aladine La Rouche by Irene Hoyt, both Business Girls. The sixth annual banquet of the Business Girls' League will be held March 24th at the Normal. B. S. N. S. In a grade school in a western city, on the 22nd of February, a teacher asked this question: "Who can tell me whose birthday this is?" A girl rose timidly. "Well, Margaret, you may tell us," said the teacher. "Mine," came the unexpected reply. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET . A.

The Alkisiah club banquet, which was held at the Hotel Leopold Friday evening, was voted a complete success by all members present. Covers were laid for forty-five.' A color scheme of purple and gold the club colors, was effectively carried out KILAUEA Speaking of Dante's "Inferno," Mrs. Bunting thinks she has had a glimpse of it. To standupon a narrow ledge one hundred feet above a steaming cauldron of fiery red molten lava, is a thrilling experience, but—it is at the same time terrible in its awful beauty. At least Mrs. Bunting so discovered when she watched, fascinated, the seething lava of (Kilauea volcano on the largest island of the Hawaiian group, steadily rise until it overflowed the mouth of the pit. As you probably know, lava in the molten stage, flows with about the same consistency- as -molasses: conse quentlv, one can back up before it. "However," laughed Mrs. Buntiny, "one usuallv keeps a respectful distance. You know.' it's really hot." At frequent intervals fountains of fire caused by currents, send spouts like sky rockets into the air. thus causing the most brilliant fireworks and giving an intense and lurid glow sometimes as high as one mile above the crater. It was upon April 3. 1921,' that Mrs. Bunting, with a small party, visited Kilauea volcano. Arrivinsr at noon they found the lava about one hundred feet below the narrow ledge upon Avhich they first ventured out to look down into that turmoil of moving lava. It rose steadily until it had overflowed the rim bv one mile at two o'clock in the morn-ing. "Then." said Mrs. Bunting, "we left, only to find in the morning that the flow had covered two and one-half miles and had reached the foot of the cliff, upon which stood the volcano house or inn. According to Professor Jaeger, the voleanolosrist who lives there, it was the highest and most rapid recorded rise in fortv years." As the fiery cataract flows out. ser-pertine and irregular, from its crater, the lava glowed darkly red thru the crust formed bv the contact with cooler air. The horrible beauty of this molten river was further accentuated by the strong and suffocating gases escaping with a hissing murmur from the lava pit and thru the chasms of the mountain. Upon the lake of fire float two detached islands used, much as a guage. to measure the rise and fall of the lava. These islands, it is said, made their appearance in a most unique way. Without apparent reason the two shot up from the depths of the lava, and since have remained. One of the islands has with daffodils and tulle. The favors were tiny purple booklets filled with candies. May Phinney acted as toastmistress. The program of the evening consisted of toasts on the club traditions. Several musical selections were also given. a cone-like cave resembling the mouth of a whale. When currents from different directions run into the cave, it seems as if the wnale cannot swallow so spurts out the lava with the most orilliant gushes. The HaAvaiians have a beautiful myth woven about .the volcano. Acordingc to the earliest legends, Pele (Pili), the goddess of fire. dAvells here. When she is happiest the gloAV above the volcano is brightest and the lava is the highest. About the volcano is found Pele's hair. Clinging to rocks about the mountain it resembles spun glass, and is the result of molten lava blown and hardened by the Avind. Legends further relate how the small, bright stones found here and there in the lava are Pele's tears. They are of topaz color and when hard enough are used for jewels. "When Ave Avent up the mountain to the pit," said Mrs. Bunting. "Ave passed over a Avell-marked trail OArer the old lava, called pahoehoe, but Ave did not return the same wav for the simple reason that we couldn't. NeAv lava (aa) had completely covered the trail and since the crusted surface Avas not' quar-anteed to remain surface if a step Avere taken upon it, Ave returned bv auto road, a detour of seven miles, to the inn."

FRESHMEN WIN KLINE CUP GAME (Continued from Page One) first /Kline Cup game. The Sophomores hold the cup at present, so it was with blood boiling that the Freshies entered the game. From the first toss-up the spectators knew that it was to be a hard fought game. At the close of the first quarter the score stood 12 to 10 in favor of the Sophs. During the second quarter the Freshies tried to make up the two scores of the previous quarter but failed. By the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 still in favor of the Sophomores. During the intermission of halves, however, the Freshies were revived or perhaps they were just getting warmed up, for by the close of the third quarter they; held the highest score, 24 to 18. . Too; much credit could not be given Agnes Tweit for her creditable playing. "Aggie" seemed to have laid a charm over the ball and basket; so rapidly did she run up the score during the latter part of the third quarter. The Sophomores did some notable team work during the last quarter, their star being Mollie Curtis. But for all the attempts they could not cover up the lost scores and the game ended with a final score of 29 to 24 in favor of the Freshmen.

Dr. Hicks thinks Bellingham, and Sehome hill in particular, make an ideal setting for a school. He is more than laudatory about the library, which he regards as a model of efficiency and beauty. The building and organization are similar to that at Stanford, with which he is familiar. In Charge of Three Courses The courses which he teaches this quarter are freshman English, studies in English language and American literature. English I is an orientation course in literature, and the students are now engaged in reading Homer's Odyssey. Studies in English language is a comprehensive survey of the language, including historical background, derivation of words, principles of grammar and problems encountered in teaching it. One of the most interesting subjects the English department offers this year is American literature, a gen-ral vista of American literary achievement. Study of Jonathan Edwards, colonial sage, introduces the student to this great field, and survey pf the contemporary scene closes the course. Although he has had little op- .portunity to get acquainted yet, Dr. Hicks anticipates a pleasant year, having found the students to be willing, intelligent arid co-operative. The latter will find in him a keen thinker ready to advise them in English problems. Lecturing on the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, Mr. William Dunlop, P. R. G. S., eminent lecturer of Vancouver, B. C, will be the feature of Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Dunlop is a Scotsman by birth and has spent much of his life in traveling the globe. He has spent twenty years in South Africa and the same length of time in Canada, touring and lecturing. In addition to his experience in the Pacific northwest, Mr. Dunlop has lectured before the Scottish society in England, and to the Shakespeare society, the Burns fellowship, and various open audiences throughout the world. He is said to have an excellent, resonant speaking voice and is also a singer of ability, often illustrating his interesting lectures with songs and dramatic readings. The life and works of Robert Burns will be the subject of Mr. Dunlop's address at this assembly. The talk will be illustrated with various slides. Mr. Dunlop is considered an authority on the subject of the late Scottish poet. o Weythman Speaks About World Trip To IRC. Club ^ r n e t Is Elected President of the International Relations Organization Class Will Form With New Text "An Introduction to Western Civilization" Will Be New Material Students this quarter are facing a reorganization of the course in History of Civilization. A new text, "An introduction to Western Civilization," will be used as part of the material for the organized course. The book is edited by Professor George A. Hedger, who has been assisted by economists, political sci-ents, psychologists, and educators. "This is the best book ever used in this department," says Miss Nora Cummins, "anii emphasis is to be placed on History of Agriculture and Industry." *fr Bushell Issues Call To School Players Do you play an instrument? That is the big question. Mr. D. Bushell ' of the Music department, invites all Normal school students who play musical instruments, especially violin, to see him as soon as possible in the music office concerning the orchestra.

Through the co-operation of Miss Rich and the Campus school, the club obtained the use of the playhouse in back of the school for a meeting place.

Holds First Meeting of Term At the first meeting of the Inter-club Council, held on Wednesday, September 27, under the leadership of its president, Victor Dickinson, They discussed club work and made several important decisions. Through the advice of the Board of control, the clubs will sponsor the Rec Hours, as was done last year* An officerss' training school will be held under the supervision of V. H. Hoppe of the Speech department. A committee was appointed consisting of Lila Welder, and Sara Jamieson to consider application of meeting dates and social affairs during the fall quarter. ! October 15 was set. as the deadline for the clubs to elect representatives to the cbuncU.' All representatives will serve for three quarters, instead of «ne quarter as was done in the past- -V: ^ lt;^rrf: New Policy Instituted New Library Policy Inaugurated to Minimize Students' Difficulties "The keynote of our policy is to minimize as much as possible the difficulties facing the student hi the use of this library," said Miss Mabel Wilson, head librarian, in an inter view for the benfit of new students. To the student just entering a university or college • the libraries with their vast resources are ex tremely bewildering. Out of so much material it is difficult to pick a particular volume or article and this school is fortunate in having a librarian who from her own exper ience in the complexities of large libraries has been able to quite a degree, to do away with them here. Miss, Wilson further stated that teachers college courses are highly specialized and in order to co-op erat to the fullest extent the library has gathered in the general reading room all material related to the curriculum. This material has been classified in the card index located in the main hall. A catalogue list ing all current articles is maintained and indicates which of these articles are obtainable in the library's maga zine section, where the best publications may be found. The library staff will gladly supply pamphlets to thos not familiar with the median ids of the index and catalogue. Four New Buildings On 'U'fcCampus Soon Half Million Dollar Program Begun by Board Launching a million and a half dollar building program for the University campus this year, the board of regents with the state relief commission are making available to the University $1,400,000 for the erection of four new buildings with construction scheduled to start in the immediate future. A new fire-proof infirmary and a new dormitory for the women along with a hew wing for the library and an addition to the power plant are the projects included. Fifteen Amateurs Report To Class Fifteen aspiring amateurs assembled after registration in the JViking hang-out to .gather tid-bits for the .weekly criterion. Fairhaven high brought forth five young hopefuls, while Whatcom added two more to the list. Others hailed from as far south as Southern Oregon, and as far north as Lyn-den, Washington.

The advisability of attempting to publish a Klipsun for the year 1933-34 was discussed at great length by the Board of Control last spring quarter. At that time the Board decided to forgoe further clucking over the matter, and to refer it to a popular vote this fall. Last year each student paid one dollar per quarter to the Associated Students, which sum was set aside as subscription fee for the annual. Each student, during the year, paid three dollars for his yearbook. Three dollars is a pre-depression price for an annual. Many find it difficult to meet even the small cost of registration here. One dollar reduction in fees would mean much. Yet most men and women in, this school would sacrifice something more immediately and more materially important in order to have some permanent record of the good times of the school year. The cost to the students of the publication can be greatly reduced by publishing advertisements in it, charging each student only his part of the total remainder over the receipts .from the sale of these advertisements. This would benefit the students by reducing the cost to him; the business manager, by enabling him to receive a percentage of the receipts; the printers, who will be publishing a larger book, the advertisers, who will receive the publicity due them in the book; and the administration, which will be publicized by the copy of the Klipsun lying on each advertiser's showcase. ; The plan would be beneficial to everyone concerned. There is no reason why it cannot be instated. o INCORPORATION POSSIBILITIES The following is a list of some of the things which the incorporation of the Associated Students will make possible: The administration of the funds of the Associated Students by its officers. Independent borrowing, lending and investment of funds by the Association. 3. Purchase, lease, or mortgage of real property by the Association. 4. Exclusive control of Normalstad by the Board of Control. 5. Exclusive management of the Northwest Viking by the Board. 6. The existence of a fund, the property of the Associated Students, which is in no way identified -with state funds. Whether the Board of Control can manage these affairs and responsibilities remains yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the willingness and courage to try are to student president, John Christy's, credit. 1 -.2. ....In September we look back.on the lazy warm summer months with somewhat of a smiler—prj sometimes actually a lusty chuckle—or, if sentimentally inclined, perhaps a sigh or two—or more.

Bookman suggests that with plot by Stevenson, characters by Dickens and Conrad, spiritual atmosphere courtesy of George Gissirig, the book is an insoluble mystery. I have wondered for some time how Priestly "got away with it". His plots are the hackneyed old stuff, rejuvenated and embellished with Thackeray and Dickenesque characters. In "Human Being," Christopher Morley erects a monument to the forgotten man, Richard Roe, who always gets the worst of it in deals with John Doe. The main happenings in thirty years of Richard's life are there, during which time he was travelling salesman for a publishing house; married his jealous and shallow wife, Lucille; met Minnie Hutz-ler; went into the stationery accessories business; and dropped dead at a most opportune moment. Morley shows how well he understands human nature when'he tracks Richard through his peregrinations, doing his trailing with finesse and real understanding.

Just finished "Street of Sandal-makers" by Nis Peterson. It left a very disagreeable taste in my mouth. Seemed that the author rather blunderingly copied the style of John Erskine, that gentleman who has the temerity to deburik classical heroes. Petersen's manner is not exactly that of the iconoclast, but he modernizes the language of Marcus and the other noble Romans, to render it recognizable to moronic readers. Anachronisms well done make good reading, but "Street of Sandalmak-ers" does not impress the reader with its quality. ^o • University of Minnesota co-eds are liable to a fine of $40 or a jail sentence of six days if they are captured wearing a fraternity pin.

Wednesday evening the drawing for golf positions was held. As only eight men had signed up by Monday night, Carver sent a call out for all men who had the ability to swing clubs and had three more men signed by Wednesday. Those signed up include Bob Lindsley, Bun Miles, Hugh Lovegren, Jack Clark, Bob Hartley, By Moser, Gordon Richardson, James Pendleton, Jim Mo-scrip, James Ahern, and Dan Van Doren. The tennis tournament got under way Tuesday with twelve men fighting i t out for the school championship. Bill Hussey, the tournament favorite, defeated his old high school rival, "Chuck" Livesey, in a match that extended three sets. Shenen-berger and Myers were also winners, eliminating Moscrip and Waters, respectively. A team that call themselves the Independents were victorious over the Northwest Vikings in the first volleyball game. Last evening the Frosh took on the Alley Cats. A split season- of six games each will be played in volleyball, with the first half ending October 16. Independents Win Volleyball Game From Viking Team News Reporters Lose First Game of Intramural Season by 2 to 1 Score The Independents got a ump on the other volleyball teams last Tuesday when they got into the win column by defeating the Vikings in two out of three games. The Independents took the first game in an uphill battle and after losing the second to the scrappy reporters took the third and final game by a wide margin. Zoet, Van-der Griend and Divird stood out for the winners, with Stone and Lindsley looking fair for the Vikings. Passing Attack Poor Neither team had a very polished passing attack. The courts weren't long enough for the newswriters and this helped to account for 'their downfall. Last evening the Alley Cats took on the Frosh. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Oct. 9—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 10—Vikings vs. Frosh. Oct. 12—Independent vs. Frosh. Oct. 16—Vikings vs. Cats. Oct. 17—Independent vs. Vikings. Oct. 18—Alley Cats vs. Frosh. Oct. 23—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 24—Vikings Vs. Frosh. Oct. 28—Independents vs. Frosh. Oct. 30—Vikings vs. Cats. Viking Halfback Relates History Walt Sinko is to Play Last Year of College Football Here This Season Walt Sinko East born but West bred—that's Walt Sinko, Viking stellar halfback, who this season will represent Bel-lingham in his last year of college footbal. The Polish "Mercury" was born in Minnesota in 1910 but came West before he was a year old. His football career began when he turned out for freshman high school football at Raymond, Wash. He became a regular the next year and was voted a berth on the all-Sbuth-west conference first team in his senior year. St. Martin's had first chance to use him on a college team, but in 1930 after three semesters at Lacey he cam here. Walt thinks the tri-normal this year is practically a toss-up. He believes the Vikings might take the Frosh, but the other non-conference teams look plenty tough. Wo men s Sports W. A. A.

Election for the offices of lodge chairman and treasurer- was held. Marydel Conrad was elected lodge chairman and Julia Christehson was elected treasurer. The other officers for the club this year are: President, Dohria Aisted; vice_ president, Dorothy Isaacs; secretary, Marie De Gollier; recording secretary, Lottie Stevenson; I. C. C. representative, June McLeod; Women's league representative, Lucy Van Vechten, and usher chairman, Violet Strandberg. The advisers are: Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss Mildred Jewell, and Miss Lillian George. ^ Donna Aisted, president, welcomed the new girls to the club. The new girls assisted by the old members, sang one of the club's songs. Violet Strandberg, usher chairman, gave the girls who were interested in ushering a chance to sign up for ushering this year. The ushers wear a blue sleeveless vest with the W. A.

Though more girls signed up for those three sports than put in an appearance at the first practice, the advisers and sports managers expect more to report before next week. Last Monday afternoon in the big gym, Miss Jewell, volleyball adviser, looked over the prospects for the coming intramurals and above the din of jumping feet gave the girls a little preliminary drill. Note: Some of the freshmen turnouts appeared in quite fetching plaid gym suits in the autumnal shades! Much talent from previous years was displayed in the hockey turnout on Tuesday, with a group including five girls who played on the Sophomore hockey team last year. This group does not include, however, Lorraine Shepherd, who was an outstanding hockey center during her year's attendance at this school, but- who is now teaching in Walla Walla. An., exchange., paper., from., the Charleston, Illinois, Teachers college bears the interesting item of what would appear to be a deviation from the usual W. A. A. activities, as we are familiar with them. Women's sports there sponsor not only hiking, tennis, and archery, but rifling, track, and social dancing as welL Soccer called put as many, if not more, enthusiastic turn-outs as did volleyball, but yet more are solicited by Miss Weythman, adviser, and Maude Campbell, manager. Though the group has the advantage of including two all-star player^ June McLeod and Marie de'Gollierr there is still a lack of quantity felt. /Fd^ a Utile preliminary technique a i ^ t n order:• to itest the ability of the,. aspirants, an hour of drill .••'in, dr|bbling and passing was conducted by Miss Weythman. Women's Athletic Association Holds Formal Initiation Taking Pledge and Social Tea Highlights of Ceremony Held at Hall Formal initiation, followed by a social tea, was held Thursday after noon by the Women's Athletic association in the blue room of the Edens hall for about twenty-five new members. In candlelight to the strains of the initiation song the candidates walked slowly into the circle of members. Each prospect was led forward by an .old member to take the pledge and sign the club scroll. This scroll was started last year when formal initiations first replaced the rough house ones formerly held. The club initiation song was sung, accompanied by Lillian Mar-salais at the piano. Lottie Stevenson, chairman of the .affair, assisted by her committee, served tea to the group. As a finale for the initiation the girls gathered around the fireplace and sang. Those initiated include: Hazel Swisher, Mary Thompson, Marye Louise Harrison, Leona Trager, Jo sephine Grassmeyer, Maxine Iddins, Mildred Stoecher, Phyllis Greely, Gwendolyn Simmons, Rose Jacob, Helen Ward, Donnie' Grant, Evelyn Neal, Elsie Jensen, Jane Miller, Mar-cella Hachett, Aloha Genther, and Sue Harlow. ;—. —o Sailboat Excursion To Lodge Arranged For all the women and instructors of the school, the Women's Athletic association is sponsoring a sailing excursion to Viqueen lodge tomorrow afternoon.

These are the questions that are being asked around school now, as they always are at this time of the year, and we are pleased to find a more optimistic spirit than we have seen for years. A new coach, a new system, many new players, and we hope a "new deal", have started this hopeful outlook and it shows that the students are all behind the team, in a big way. Let's hope we're not disappointed. "Blocking!" Just a small word but still the most important word in football, or at least in the Notre Dame system of attack which Coach Lappenbusch is ushering in at this school this year. Every night that word is drilled into the players until pretty soon they'll be blocking for Sinko and Toby through the halls, and if present indications mean anything, we will at least have one good blocking team this year. So, remember that when Sinko, or Imhoff, or any of the other boys plants the pigskin over that last chalk line, they only did it because the other ten players did their job well. We've heard rumors that Dill Pierron is going to be a sticker candidate for yell leader this year. More power to you, Bill. (Just a campaign picture above, folks). C. P.

Herbert Gallanger, newly elected president of the club, says that the committees working on plans for the affair have not had time to secure a satisfactory place for the dance, and a suitable orchestra. . Meeting Held Oct. 3 A meeting was held on Tuesday, October 3, and a committee with Jack Palkner, general chairman; Louis Shaeffer, tickets and nro-grams; and Al Charlsworth, refreshments, were appointed by the president. According to Gallanger, the other main reason for the postponement of the quarterly affair is that the date set was too near the beginning of the quarter and the boys aren't well enough acquainted. State Supreme Court To Decide Question To Affect Building Extent of P. E. Building to Depend on Action Today Whether or not Bellingham Normal will be granted enough money to erect at least a part of the Physical Education building, will depend to a great extent upon the action of the state supreme court today. They are to decide whether or not the state bond issue of $10,000,000 will be used for direct or indirect relief. If it is to be used directly, to buy food and clothing to give out, it is quite probable that Normal will get much less than asked. If it is to be used indirectly to put people to work at building worthwhile projects, probably about $150,- 000 will be appropriated by the state. When Governor Clarence D. Martin was here for commencement last summer, he looked the situation over, and said that he realized the need of such a building on the campus. He has recommended the appropriation of some money for this purpose. Of the $3,300,000,000 federal bond issue, which is intended to encourage state, county, and municipal projects/ probably about $50,000 will be given. The board of trustees asked for $300,000. If only $200,000 is appropriated, two-thirds of the building will be erected. This will probably include the men's gymnasium and the swimming pool, while the women's gymnasium will be built later. At the time the trustees made the request, they said that they believed the construction of this building is in accord with the construction program of the federal public works and industrial control plan. • o Game to be Played (Continued from Page One) try to make that up with lots of fight. If {he first game were tomorrow instead of next Friday, the lineup .would probably look something like this: Odell and Claypoole, ends; Hoban and Smick, tackles; Tonco and Mitchell, guards; Finley, center;- Bagley, quarter; Sinko and Toby, halfbacks, and Imhoff, full. However the others all have a chance to . break into the lineup during the next week and several changes may be made. . .- New Men Out Three new men started to turn out in the last week and one or two ignore are expected out next week. George St; James, a halfback from last year's W. SLC. frosh eleven, started to turn put last Friday night.

This was only one of the adventures of Miss Ruth Weythman, physical education instructor, • on her trip around the world. "I left Seattle a year ago this month for the Orient," said Miss Weythman as if reliving it all. "In Japan I visited with a Japanese girl with whom I had corresponded since I was in college. I had tea at her home and she showed me some of the costumes which her father had in his possession, of the ancient warriors of her country. "From Japan I went to China on a Japanese boat, which was unfortunate enough to get in the tail end of a typhoon. While I was on board the captain announced the election of President Roosevelt. "I was in Peking, a very old and fascinating city, where ancient and modern ways are contrasted. From this city I went on an excursion to the Great Wall. After visiting other cities in China, I went to Manilla, where I spent a day with Mrs. Mansfield (Vesta Larson) a former Normal student. - "Singapore was the southernmost point I reached. Here one feels a very tropical atmosphere. "One of the high spots in my trip was seeing the sun come over Mt. Everest in India. Here I joined some Canadian girls andtook a train to Bagdad. At Ur Chalues they were excavating graves which had been buried over 3000 years. "At Kitzbuhl I took three weeks' Governor Martin Grants Diplomas With Much Pep Twenty-Four Receive Degrees at Colorful Cremony on August 28th At the end of a ceremony which included an address by Governor Clarence D. Martin, twenty-four candidates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The place was the auditorium of Bellingham State Normal school; the date was August 25, 1933. The degrees were the first to be granted since the recent legislature enactel the enabling law. From the opening selection by the orchestra to the final benediction, the audience was enthralled. History was being accomplished before their eyes! Bellingham Normal was taking its place among the full rank colleges of the nation. Governor Gives Address Governor Clarence D. Martin, after congratulating the pioneer graduates, defended the administration's educational policy in the main commencement address. He bitterly scored the section of the public who have urged the closing of the Normal schools as an economy measure. "Expenditures for these institutions are well justified," the governor declared. He told the graduates that they had incurred no obligation to teach, adding.that, "the important thing is that you have shown an interest in" education." Degrees Are Presented After other speeches by President C. H. Fisher and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, the governor, at his own request, • presented the diplomas.

That "we must bring the cup back," is the sentiment expressed by practically everyone in the school. The whole school stands behind the debators iii their determination to bring home £he cup. Miss Rokes, Miss Inga Benson,, and Mr. Mason Hall will defend the affirmative; and Miss Stoughton, Miss Spaight and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll will defend the Negative. The question to be debated is: Resolved, That the Phillipine Islands be given their Independence by 1930. This question. is much in the limelight at the present time and it is believed that a strong case can be made by both teams. lALULASSJO" The class graduating this quarter consisting of twenty-seven members, has organized and elected Miss Beatrice Dahlquist, as president, preparatory to its commencement in March.

MISS OLIVE EDENS Normal Loses First Game; Then Wins Second Easily A large crowd was present in the Normal gym Friday night, when the strong Ellensburg basketball team defeated the local Normal "five" 23 to 14. The close guarding and excellent team work of the local men held the visitors from running up a large score during the game. Hughes, our star forward, was off color Friday, as he could not seem to locate the basket; he made shot after shot from every place on the floor, but missed every time by a narrow mai'gin. Both teams played a very clean game, few personal fouls being called during the game. The visitors made the first basket and kept the lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 in their favor. The visiting center, F. Robinson, played a star game, making 15 out of 23 points for them. Line-up: Bellingham.

AH the games on this trip will.be hard ones, as the home "five" will be playing against strong teams. The Vancouver, Cheney and Ellensburg quintets having been seen in action in this town earlier in the season.

How many, many boys feel that way soon after they come to a Normal school! Perhaps its their youth, however. "The Yellow Jacket" will be presented at Cheney soon by the Drama League of Spokane. Wish we could be there, too. The Centralia high school paper shows some of the true spirit of a high school, that is, fun on top and deep thought well expressed, and a real school spirit below the surface. Their paper is strictly devoted to school affairs and expressed in a clear cut manner. Several new courses are to be introduced in Centralia, for example. Solid Ceonictry. Argumentation, Social Science and Applied Art and He-signing. We are informed by the College Exchange from W. S. C, that Budic Olt-maii, of Bellingham. has just been initiated by the "Scabbard and Blade" military honor society; that Lulu Sells, also of Bellingham. has been pledged by the Phi Mu Beta, honorary education society: that Man son Fisher has been appointed a member of a committee "to pass on movies, plays, and lectures to prevent conflict and to 'assure diversity of entertainment." We also have received from the W. S. C. a set of interesting articles which we will be glad to loan to any of the students.

This shows great progress, we believe, in the class of p'ays presented by colleges. We look forward with the greatest anticipation for every copy of this paper.

Forty seniors received their diplomas from that school last week. How we envy you your sleigh-riding, you North Centralites, Spokane. Wash. An interesting interview with a policeman on the subject of dancing is one of the features of this issue. A committee has been formed to keep in touch with pupils through four years of high school and correspond with them- after graduating. This, school shows through its columns a great spirit —one that is going to keep its ideals and its perfect citizenship on the pinnacle on which it now stands. "The Tahoma," from the Stadium High School, Taconia. Wash., has a new department, "Bavings of a Milk Fed Prophet," which is clever and good.

NORMAL LOSES FIRST: WINS SECOND EASILY (Continued From Page One) the hard fighting of the whole team supplied the fans with plenty of thrills. Not a point was made during the first ten UKI a half, minutes of some of the hardest and fastest playing ever viewed by local fans. . Bellingham scored the first point when Yanderford shot a basket from a difficult position, causing the crowds to go completely wild. The team kept the lead all through the first half, ending it with-two baskets and two free throws, a total of (• points, while Ellensburg had •aptured two baskets. •Yanderford started the second half by making a basket in the first minute of play, after which Ellensburg immediately got a burst of speed and shot in six points, making them 10, also giving them the lead, which they lost when l gt;ellinghant made a basket and tied the score. The s gt;joro remained tied until the last few minutes of the third quarter, when the local "five" forged -ahead.-.and made shot after shot from every position on the floor. The last few seconds of the play was very'interesting, the losing team trying hard to catch up, but with no avail. The Bellingham Normal outplayed their opponents from the start, being faster and lighter, and having the advantage of the larger gym floor. They played all around the heavier players of the Ellensburg Normal. Captain Victor Hughes kept the Ellensburg team on the defense most of the game by his continued shooting. Time after time he would throw for the bas.ket from one side of the floor and beat the opponents to the ball shooting again from the other side. Vic Hughes is of the hardest workers on the team and is having hard luck at present getting baskets. The entire game was considered by basketball fans as being a very clean one, there being only one personal foul made in the first half and less than eight in the whole game. Line-up: Bellingham.

The 7B Science class is very busily engaged in making charts of the different cones.

(A Synopsis) —Mary B. Egbert..... The things I think, the things 1 feel Are known to me as very real; They form an inner life apart I'i'om all material forms of art. My brother's thoughts I may not know, Not even those of friend or foe. Until express'd by tongue or pen. I'n comprehensive terms to men. Amotions too may burn within. Unknown to strangers, kith or kin, Till we by word or deed impart The secret treasures of our heart. Herein doth lie our u^e of style For by its use, we reconcile The outer form with inner truth. Style's outward body visible Must be to man infallible Expressive of emotions mine As well as thoughts and felings thine In written words it must appear And not by sounds thai men can hear. If mortal mind is then inIpress'd By what he finds in words express'd The term of clearness is applied On which for meaning he relied. If his emotions are impressed It comes thru Force by Style possess'd. The niiin aesthetic too may feel Response within to Style's appeal, And this impressing tptality : Is Elegance','undoubtedly. This outward body's built of marks Of dots and circles, lines and arcs, They indicate to man some sound Artkulative organs found. These sounds make words that by consent And common usage now present The unrealities obscure With clearness in our literature. Our language then, to man conveys, Emotions, thoughts and thus portrays By Clearness. Force and Elegance Our intellectual advance. The source of words, we would suggest Is men who know and speak the best. Our words must be of good repute Have meanings men dare not dispute. Xo local terms nor technical Should mar our language vehicle, And present usage too mush share A part in our selective care. Xow ni.arks make words, and words we find, Form sentences of ev'ry kind. When groups of sentences unite .To form a paragraph in type, ;And paragraphs make larger Wholes Embracing all within their folds, We have our body visible. Before the whole is well allied Three principles must be applied. The first of these is Unity The oneness of reality; Made visible by human art in which our words are but a part. All thoughts must cluster round about One central point and not without. A second principle is Mass Arresting sight ere it can pass, Applied externally by norm To give o u r outer body form. Our third, Coherence is the last Relating parts and binding fast, By striking out all useless draff. Each sentence, words and paragraph. Tii meanings, well denoted, stand Our source of all from ev'ry land. Our choice of tools, connoted well Emotions keen must fully tell.

There are all sorts of bores, dry bores, chatty bores, scrappy bores, gluan bores, etm., etc. etc. Up here we have all the fifty-seven varieties: The field is too wide. Let's narrow it. Consider the class-room bore; he studies not, neither does he think. He knows more than the instructor himself and asks that dignitary to "stop and think." He interrupts an explanation to prose on about "putting it another way," or "in other words," or "that is to say." "While another person is reciting he shakes his head and waves his hand aloft. When not arguing he reads the Saturday Evening Post. Verily, he is the biggest bore. -. Then there is the "cute" girl bore; the little "cut-up" who laughs and whispers and pinches.and jumps. She is convulsed with laughter at her own witticisms. Her contributions to the discussion are not very illuminating, and her grades are D and C. She is very sensible compared with the third type, the borrowing bore. It would not be so bad if this bore stopped at dimes and fountain pens and note paper. It's when he or she begins to borrow lesson plans and reading reports that we get tired. Moral courage is a nice thing to have around but we hate to trot it out every day in refusing the borrowing bore. We could hold this talk for an hour or two. We just remember that Ave are being the worst of all bores, ourselves—a complaining bore. B. S.N. S. MOVIES. TILLIE. That Avas Mary Anne's best chum's name.Tillie was crazy over the movies. She had seen "The Lost Soul" for 24 consecutive Sunday evenings without missing a single installment. She had a framed picture of Douglass Reed over her bureau and a picture of Wallace Chaplin in her locket. She was secretly convinced that she was a great tragic actress. " I t makes me mad, she said to Mary Anne. "They scold us for going to the movies. They've got a machine an' an operator and everything up here. If they'd put on a few good films Ave'd all flock to see 'ein." •"'.•... They took Tillie's advice and sliOAA^ed "Our Mutual Friend." Tillie and Mary Anne heard about it and sniffed, "High brow! Not for us. They Avent to see "The Infernal Triangle," and afterAvards, "Why Willie Left Home." "Our Mutual Friend" Avas shown to a good many empty seats. It Avas a good play, too. Plenty of thrills, action, suspense, romance. And you Avouldn't come to see it. . Are Ave the four and one-half percent after all? Not AAdien Ave turn from the screen version of a masterpiece to the witnessing" of silly, unenduring trash. B. S. N. S. HAIL ANID FAREWELL f gt;0 AVE ONLY imagine it or is the sky really grayer and gloomier than it AA^as last Aveek. The campus certainly looks bleak and lonelA'. The halls are darker and chillier. Even this poor old paper looks bare and woe-begone. A good many of us tiptoe by Boom 216 with averted faces and a queer, catchy feeling in our throats; We look as if we had lost our best friend. Well, we have lost her—for six long months. Who Avas it that said, "Parting is such sAveet sorrow?" Whoever it was, he was all Avrong. All wrong. Since the announcement of Dr. Nash's coming resignation, no bloAv has fallen so heavily on the school as Miss Edens going aAvay. Everyone who loves her, and that means everj^one who'knows her, feels as if a vital part of the school AArere missing. The poor Messenger class, in particular, feels the solid earth caA*e in and the Avails begin to tumble doAvn. An infallible test for judging a teacher; ask the taught. And, in Miss Edens' case, Ave all answer in chorus, "She's our ideal; jolly and light-hearted, hard'working and sincere, frank and sympathetic. She is the best ever." Cheer up! She's coming back. That's some consolation. We'll be good Avhile you're away, Miss Edens. We'll forget all the slang Ave knoAV, eliminate " a i n ' t " and "he don't," and develop astounding vocabularies. Never more shall the split infinitive or that old sneak, the dangling participle, ruin our force and clearness. Not once shall "grim reaper" or "in our midst" profane these pages. Bon voyage! (Avhich is all the French AA^e know, and we hope it's all right.) Have a AAronderful time and enjoy your Avell earned rest to the fullest. You deserve it. But be sure to come back to Normal next September, just brimming OArer Avith energy and subjects for feature stories. A hearty AArelcome to our neAv Critic. We Avish her the best thing possible—that she be like Miss Olive Edens. On our OAAII this week. Like it? TO BE HELD TONIGHT Tonight at 7:15 the Seniors will congregate in the auditorium to enjoy a program of class talent, and a new year mixer. Among the numbers will be: stunts, songs, play of the entertainment and Hall's quartet, readings by Nell Henry, and "Bee" Dahlquist; dance numbers by Walton Biggerstaff. For muscially inclined students, Williams Normal Orchestra has promised to play several modern classic pieces. Then for the gymnasium, lots of new games, and ••splendiferous" excitement, followed by abundant refreshments. The committees are as follods: Games—Miss Mary Long, Marion Collier. Befgreshments—Mary Collins, Esther Windley, Ralph Miller. Social—Mary Wood, Margaret Spaight and Estill Cain. B. S. N. S. Porter (to Miss Edens): "It's getting late, ma'am. Don't you think it's time for you to retaliate?" r gt;. s. 1ST. S. Mr. Hunt: "What do you mean by) dairy products?" . Student: "Oh, milk, eggs, cottage chees and' other vegetables." A stirring address was delivered at last Wednesday's assembly by Professor E. J. Klemme, of our own faculty. Mr. Klemme is widely knoAvn throughout the state and everywhere that he is known he is regarded as a platform lecturer of the highest ability. Professor Klemme is a member of our Extension department and it is largely due (to his work in this field that the Bellingham State Normal has such a Avide and prominent reputation as ah institution of higher learning. Professor Klemme's message was on the theme "How Old Art Thou?" He dealt with his subject not as age is regarded as physical years, but from age in worth and experience. The students were one-hundred percent attentive to 'Mr. Klemme's remarks. At times the audience Avould be doubled up in laughter at his humor, which is of an exceedingly individual type, at other times they would be held, tense when some vital points were given to them. There were intervals during the address when if a pin should have been dropped on the assembly floor it Avould have been plainly audible. — B. S. N. S. Gossips are the spies of life.

Mr. Kolstad lias been doing much research work on this line for the last few years and he has yet found only enough material for a small pamphlet. As an example, Mr. Kolstad said his psychology instructor when she woke up in the morning and heard the whistles blow, would see a dark, pui'pleish streak flash across the draperies. She saw sounds, in other words. A famous French philosopher says the French vowels are to him colored. While speaking French the colors' of each vowel pass before him. Mr. Kolstad says they have on record the case of a young design teacher, whenever she ran out of designs she would attend either a syphonie concert or an opera. As she listened, the music would take different forms and designs. She would take these down as they came to her. Different types of music, of course, would furnish different types of designs. This is called Synaestesia, and it means simply this, the arousal of secondary sensation through primary sensation". The nerves from various sense organs are so close to each other that the vibrations of one are transformed over to stimulate others. B. S. N. S.

There are very few Normalites who do not know Sam, but the fact that he is going to play on the fat man's basketball team may help to identify him to those who are not numbered among his acquaintances. When interviewed by a Messenger reporter, Mr. Ford was very modest, and only after much persuassion divulged information concerning his past experiences. Mr. Ford graduated from Ellensburg high school in 1912, with high honors, not only in scholarship but in athletics, having been captain of both the football and basketball teams. He entered the pre-medical school of the State University in the fall of 1912, but was forced to withdraw on account of sickness. He earned his way while at the University ' by machine-shop and paper work. After leaving the Univer-servecl an apprenticeship in the Seattle- Astoria Machine Works, graduating in 1914. At this point in the interview Sam seemed to have forgotten ye scribe, was apparently oblivious of his immediate surroundings, and appeared lost in contemplation of his land of memories. He continued his story as follows: '•After leaving the Seattle-Astoria Machine Works. I spent several months on a trip through the Southern states earning my way as a boomer-machinist. Those were the good old days. In June of 1917 I entered the army aviation service at Seattle. In August of the same year I became an instructor of aviation, mechanics at dielly Field, San Antonio, Texas. I was finally put in charge of a hangar and took advantage of this by taking flights in the air." A chuckle escaped Sam as he continued, "I didn't like to eat the Kelly Field dust and on my own hook took leave of absence for none and one-half days in an attempt to get across the pond, where I could get a little mud. I was escorted back to Kelly Field from Pittsburg by two officers and introduced to a pick and shovel. Outside of this incident I was always a good fellow. I was discharged from the army in January, 1919. Shortly afterwards I made a trip to Alaska as engineer on one of the A. P. Fisheries boats." Mr. Ford has just recently accepted a position with the Herald and Reveille, which will take up his spare time hours.

Old Bill Jones had a kicking mule He couldn't cure. The gol-dern fule Would kick all night and kick all day; Hoist up his heels while eatin' hay. He'd "hee haw" like a demon's screech; He'd hit at ev'rythin' in reach; And when his eyes saw nothin' there, He'd kick away' at the empty air. But Bill is sure the wisest cuss: He didn't raise a nasty fuss, Ner trade the nmle ter an innercent. He knew what conservation meant. He fixed a harness, strong and tight,- Till that mule's heels was a wondrous sight, And then, with pulleys, belts and wheels, He utilized them wasteful heels. At every kick the wheels would turn; He pumped the water, ran the churn, Did the washin', sawed, the wood, Ground the feed and pround it good; Chawed the pigs to sausage meat; Baled the hay and threshed the wheat: Dug the ditches, laid the tile; Stretched the wire fence more'n a mile; Chopped the silage, shred the corn; Milked the cows both night and morn; Turned, the cattle out to graze; Dried the wash on stormy days; He ran a little dynamo, And, as his feet zipped to and fro, They stored the wily 'lectric juice In batteries for future use: So house and bam were lighted well, With current left enough to sell, Till no one need to go without, 'Who lived within ten miles about. In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat, Which isn't to be wondered at. He'd caught the secret of the hour, The harnessin' of wasted power.

The Nichols Hall girls are planning a party in honor of Mrs. Nicnols, next Saturday evening. Rubv Sunde spent the week-end in Seattle. Edith Linde and Gertrude Seniles spent the week-end at the home of the hitter's uncle, L. J. Senilis, at Laurel. Miking in a northeasterly for two and a half hours is rather chilly, say they. Carol Rahskopf was the dinner guest of Alic-e William, Friday evening. Ruth Church liked to throw snow balls. Last .week when the ground was covered with flakey white snow, the temptation to throw just a tiny snow-bail at her chum was too great to be overcome. Ruth threw the snowball. That snowball did the meanest thing! instead of hitting the chum it flew straight to Ruth's supervisor. That is why we put "like" in the past tense. Helen Alhnan and Fay McKiddy packed up and boarded the train for Auburn and home last Friday. They had a "dandy" time. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe did a heroic deed last Friday. The girls say that he attended the luncheon they gave. Miss Fay Bruneau, who is bound for Chile, South America, where she will do missionary work, is leaving New York on February 4. Steamer letters sent to Miss Bruneau will reach her addressed to S. S.

Last Saturday—sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Rahskopf found himself in a sad predicament. All said morning lie had been listening to the eloquent orations of the champion debaters. Of course he was intensely interested, but when the gt;eloek indicates lunch time, on's mind is apt to turn to thoughts of sandwiches and pickies. Mr. Kahskopf's did. lie thrust his hand into his pockets, while pictures of delectable luncheons danced before his eyes. But the pictures vanished when his repeated searches were rewarded with only five coppers. The sad truth must be faced. He had forgotten his purse. Meanwhile the remaining debaters were playing the parts of good fairies. They flew downstairs and when they ..•ame back they were carrying a queer looking bundie. When Mr. Rahskopf returned to his office, wearing a look of resignation, he found the dcl.aters busily studying their respective speeches and then looking at his desk he saw a bottle of milk, decorated with a how of green ribbon, standing beside a box containing—well, we will leave the rest to your hungry imaginations. Suffice it to say that good fairies know that even Normal professors enjoy feeds of peanuts and doughnuts and'apples and sandwiches. ALKISIAH CLUB. February 2, 1022, the members of the Alkisiah club enjoved a verv delightful program, after which a dainty and well planned luncheon was served by Reta Card, Marjorie Dueber and Johanna Miller. The program was as follows: Music By the Club Debate, Resolved, that the policy pursued by the United States in the Philippines is the best policy that could have been pursued. Negative. Affirmative Marie Tinker Marjorie Dueber Dorothy Zinzer Edith McCall Music Club Story. Philippine Setting Reta Gard Ue.-ent Current Events Julia Murray Club Songs Club ALITHEA CLUB. An interesting meting of the Alethia club was held Thursday, January 2G. The first part of the evening was taken up with the election of oficers, as follows: President—Frances Still. Vice President—Mildred Dawkins. Secretary—(«ladys 01so?i. Treasurer—'Edna Carnine. Sergeant at Arms—Ruth Oitchell. Club Critic—Brigitta Karkkonen. Club Reporter—Martha Anderson. Later in the evening a very fine program was enjoyed: Book Review Ruth Gitchell Legend of William Tell Brigitta Kankkonen Travels in Switzerland Mildred Dawkins GIVES MUSICAL TREAT A musical treat was given to the Normal students at last Monday's assembly. Charles Wakefield Cadmen, one of the leading coiu.posers and pianists in the world, gave a short lecture coupled with three numbers on the piano. Harrison Raymond, our local well-known voice instructor, added to the worth of the program, by singing three songs to Mr. Cadmen's accompaniment. On the Friday evening previous Mr. Cadmen gave a concert at the Metropolitan opera house in Seattle. He is an artist of absolutely the first rank. His appearance at the Normal was somewhat of an accident. He was visiting at the home of Henry P. Jukes for a short time. Mrs. Spratley of our music department, invited him to give a program- at the Normal and he accepted. Mr." Cadnuii has contributed much to the musical world as a composer. In his study of music he has especially emphasized the field of Indian Music. He is perhaps the greatest authority in that line today. In opening his program. Mr. Cadmen gave the following: 1. Pompadour's Fan. 2. Love Song (by himself). 3. Wolf Dance (based on a Blackfoot Indian melody). The Musician followed these splendid numbers with an illuminating talk on the subject of Indian music. He declared that tlie study of Indian music began but thirty-five'years ago. Contrary to a general opinion, Indian music has a distinct value to composers. Forty per cent of all the material gathered by musical investigators from the Indians possesses interest and value for composers. Mr. Ca;!maii had with him several -urioiis Indian instruments, among them the fiagolet. On this popular instrument he played four short numbers. The tones which he produced were particularly mellow and fascinating. It is interesting to know that Indian children have proven more precocious musical students than white children. Concluding the program, Mr. Harrison Raymond sang the following delightful numbers: 1. I Hear a Thrush at Eve. 2. From the Land of Sky-Blue Water. 3. At Dawn. B. s. N. S. HOW TO DETERMINE HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS In hypnotism one should always make a test to find out if the person is susceptible to hypnotism. There are, of course, certain types of persons that under no circumstances can be hypnotised. We make this test as soon as the person comes on the stage, look him straight in the eyes and say slowly and distinctly. "You are falling backwards." If the person so much as waves he is susceptible. Now suggest a thought to him. If he does not respond, repeat with emphasis. If he can In- hypnotised he will take up the suggestion and will be in your power. You now can suggest anything and he wiil respond. The key to hypnotism is the power of suggestion. To remove the thought or suggestion, a snap of the fingers will remove your power. He loses your suggestion and he will immediately return to normal. B. S. N. S. First Student: "Mr. Kolstad can put people in trances." Second Student: "Don't I know it?

It is called Early American Imprints. These books were all printed between the years 1770 and 1830, and it is due to a sale held by a large eastern firm that it was possible to acquire these very valuable books. The printing and working of these books are peculiar to the extreme, for instance a girl is always alluded to as a "damsel" or a "pious female." : This set includes works in the following: novels, poetry, journals, catchecisms, essays, dictionaries of various vocations and several different editions'of the New Testament. From an educational standpoint, these books are especially useful, both from a literary and historical view. They trace very thoroughly the growth and formation of America's great part in literature. Many critics maintain that America had no distinct literary achievements of her own, but if these same _ critics would thoroughly investigate this one set of books they would be convinced otherwise. Every student in school who is interested in what America has done in a literary way, should not fail to investigate this set of books. B. S. N. S. SENIOR MIXER. What ho! Ye Seniors, great and small!

A torn sail snapped and cracked like a "young cannon." He opened his eyes wide and sat up in bed, reaching for his watch, which was in his coat pocket at the foot of his bunk. It was 11:45 o'clock. He was to go on watch at 12, midnight, and watch the Chinese quarters until 4 a .m. The foc'le door slid back, and a tall, bulky figure entered. The man walked up to Johnny's bunk, looking down smilingly. "Come, kid," he said. "It's time for you to go on watch and its a merry time I aim thinking you are going to have, too. You better take my oil skin for its raining and blowing to beat blue blazes. Can you shoot?" Johnny told him that he could. "Just peel your eyes along this." He pulled a forty-four automatic from his hip pocket. "If any of them Chinks or Mexicans get canary—well, don't hesitate to make them acquainted with a little hot lead. A flock of hungry gungs are following the ship, and they are crying to beat Hades, and a little fresh Chink of Mex- ' ican meat wouldn't hurt their craws any." He removed his dripping oil skins, and laid the automatic on the bunk. "I am goinff to the galley and wet inv whistle with a hot wash of coffee, then maybe I'll get in a little poker game, a pooch of a fine game is on down in the fishermen's quarters. Six •hundred in silver was on the table till the ship began rolling, and it had to be removed. Bv holy Mount Pavlof! If one of them fishermen hasn't four twenty-dollar gold pieces, and where he o-ot them, I ' l r b e cow-kicked if I can tell. But I said to myself, "Gold, why tempt old Swede Carlson? I'll jingle those four twenties in my pocket before we hit Unimak Pass. Eh, kid ?" Johnny had gotten out of the bunk, but was having a hard time dressing, because the ship rolled so hard. He hung onto the bunk with one hand and pulled on his shirt and trousers with the other. It amused Swede Carlson hugely to see Johnny stagger about. "Were you ever at sea before, kid?" Johnny told him that he had been to sea once before. "Once, vou say. Well you will get your sea-legs in a day or two. I am going now and if anything should happen— well, shoot, see? But if you are afraid to play Avith that little toy aiitp-matic. you just yell down in the fishermen's quarters, and old Swede Carlson will come and show you how to mix things in the hell-hole." Johnny noticed Swede Carlson's mammoth chest and muscles, which reminded him of Jack London's "Sea Wolf." Johnny asked Swede Carlson if this was his first trip North. Swede Carlson lit a cigarette, looked at Johnny and laughed. "Hell, kid! I am so well known on Bering Sea that the fish call me by my first name. You have just three minutes before you go on watch, so I am going to tell you a little story. "This makes—" they both fell against the bunk when the ship plunged suddenly—" as I was going to say, this makes my fourteenth trip North. I have been through Unimak Pass twenty-six times. The least I made in one season was $12. Last season I made $2,000. I had that much when I hit Seattle last September. Well, I have only twenty dollars left. That is the way it goes, kid. The more a fellow makes the . 711 ore lie spends. These darn cannery men don't care for a fisherman. The first season, I and my pardner were capsized in a storm. My partner was drowned, and I went for three days without anything to eat, before I was picked up. In a blow last year, me and my pardner got too close to a sand-bar near the mouth of the Nushagak river, and the boat capsized. I escaped again, but my partner washed away with . a giant., breaker. When I reached the cannery, the first thing the superintendent asked me was, 'Where is the boat ?'" . The door slid back and a sailor nodded to Swede Carlson'. A tremendous roar of wind, flappnig sails, and a wild sea spewing and simmering like boiling water, came from outside. Johnny hurriedly stuck the automatic in his pocket, slipped on the oil skins and boots, and followed Swede Carlson out on deck. Swede Carlson and Kay the sailor went into the galley, and slid the door. A streak of yellow gleamed through a crack of the galley door. Johnny was left alone on deck. It was black dark, and the giant waves boiled up and Avashed over the decks. Ghostly figures crept around the masts and by the railing. Aloft in the rigging,, the two and three steel cables hummed and sang like a trunk phone line. With the aid-of a small flashlight, he found his way along the slippery decks to the Chinese . quarters. He crawled through a narrow door, and started to descend the steep steps. On each side of the steps ropes had been stretched. Johnny hung onto the ropes and entered the Hell-hole. The poker game was still on, the players hung onto the stationary table and dealt the cards between the plunges of teh ship. On deck the air was pure, with a tinge of salt, but here in the Hell-hole a sour, stale smell, which made him sick at his stomach, hit his nostrils. He walked doAvn the narrow aisles between the bunks as quickly as possible. In every bunk,, a Chinaman or a Mexican rolled with the ship's motion. Most of them were smoking long pipes, probably opium. In one corner, to themselves," eight or ten Hawaiians had taken bunks. They were still setting up, half naked. Three of them were playing string instruments and sweet sounds of Aloha filled the Hellhole. Johnny passed the gambling table again on the way out, and was invited to "get in."' He didn't tell them but he knew that he did not know the first rules of the game. .Amid much tobacco smoke and jabbering he left them, and went on deck. The wind was gaining force, and the waves leaped above the ship, pouring their frosty tops across the decks. T-wise he fell when the ship tipped so the deck came up to meet him. His face was dripping salt water when he entered the fo'/le. He sat down on the edge of his bunk. His brain throbbed and a feeling of being terribly far away haunted him. Victor, his chum, slept in a double bunk in the corner across from him. Victor had hung a red curtain in front of his bunk and Johnny could see the light still burned above his pillow. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, what if the ship should sink? He asked himself over and over. His teeth chattered, and he wanted to do something, but what could he do? He walked over to Victor's bunk, and lifted the curtain. Victor lav very quietly, sleeping. The roll of the ship did not disturb him and the expression of adventure which had been on.his face ever since they sailed from Seattle, had turned into a half-smilc. Victor's white sweater with the vellow letter, his college colors, hung on a nail over his bunk. "What a contrast!" Johnny thought. Down in the Hell-hole were the rakings of the underworld of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, but here was a young American, a college boy, the type that the American nation depends upon for the future. tie turned the light out and went on deck again. Some of the sails had been lowered, and broken cables swished across the deck. He was caught by one and thrown for ten feet, up against the railing. His arm and side ached, but he crawled through the narrow door again, B H 5 S 5 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 3 a H2B2S3HH2HaHHSHHaSlHHHaHHHBa "ALL NORMAL STUDENTS SATURDAY NIGHT" CECIL B.

The poker game was over, and everyone was in bed. The lights still burned, and a half-dozen pop bottles rolled around under the bunks. Tobadeo cans and rubbish slid around with the motion of the ship. The timbers of the ship cracked and moaned until Johnny expected the next breaker to tear the ship to pieces. On his way back to the foc'le .be peeped down into the fishermen's quarters. The game was still on and Swede Carlson and Kay, the sailor, were still on "the trail of the four twenties." It was his last round, when he came out of the Hell-hole deathly sick. His head ached, and his stomach hurt. He went as near the railing as possible and "fed the fish." At least sea-sickness had overcome him. Back aft, he heard the Captain swearing, he heard him say that the ship was six hundred miles from shore and one hundred miles out of her course. Away off to the east a streak of light showed. It was a pale, pale light, which gradually grew brighter,' seeming to come in little jets, with slight and sudden shocks. It made the heavens look as if they were being illuminated like a transparency, and as if lamps with flames were being raised. Little by little, behind the shapeless gray clouds, carefully raised with mysterious caution for fear of disturbing the mournful turmoil of the sea. Johnny awoke the relief watch and entered the foc'le. Victor was awake, and looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this great, this roll I mean. I can sleep just dandy." He asked Johnny what made him look so white around the "gills," but Johnny did not tell him. He rolled into his hunk with his face to the wall. His heart seemed big and swollen. He went to sleep mumbling Vic-Vic-Vic. -^-George Kermit Stephens. On Unintentional Descent. Oh, many's the ups succeeding the downs, For the slick sidewalks shimmer with sleet.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20.

Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region.

She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

She gave unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has been ably assisted by Theo.

"Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon. Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end. GRADUATES RECEIVE v DIPLOMAS ON JUNE 9 LEOWYRTHA CLUB Plans for the work of the club for- next year were discussed by members of the Leowyrtha Club at their regular meeting, Thursday evening, May 12.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24. IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant. Mr. Bowmer was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dubois Rhine. As acting yell leader, Mr. Bowmer exercised his ability at the games last Friday and Saturday. After witnessing his antics there, everyone felt confident that he will successfully conduct the yelling end of the games during our basketball season. B. S. N. S. NOTICE, STUDENTS! At 10 o'clock, all typewriters are occupied by members of the class in typewriting. Plan your outside typing for some other hour. You are welcome at any time but 10 o'clock. E To Bellingham: We wish to thank the Bellingham students and express our appreciation for the entertainment provided us during our stay. The friendliness and hospitality of the Bellinghamites made this visit the most pleasant trip we have had. Even your team gave us the warmest sort of a reception. We wish to thank all of those who contributed to our excellent time and we promise to do everything we can to give your team the same sort of a welcome when they come to Ellensburg. B. S. N. S. All indications seem to prove that the Seattle club dance will be the greatest social affair of the quarter. Contrary to the usual manner the girls are arranging the programs for the dance. Schirrman's orchestra will furnish the music. TO L May Peterson, noted lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is singing here the evening of Wednesday, January 24. Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

Starting at 7:30 sharp. A preliminary game will be played between the Normal second team and Nooksack high school previous to the beginning of the big event. The team is expecting the same- loyal support given them by the- faculty and students during the Ellensburg series. A record-breaking attendance is prophesied as interest over last week's games with Ellensburg is still at high pitch and students will be there to compare the playing of the two sister normals. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 PURE, WHOLESOME FOOD SERVED RIGHT DOLAN'S CAFE Opposite Leopold Hotel 1209% Dock St. Bellingham, Wn.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars. Let's show Cheney a real live bunch of considerate car owners. % —V. G. B. S. N. S. Have you thought about buying a Klipsun? If not, why not? It is high time you began to give this matter some consideration. Only a few days ago the Business Manager of the 1923 Klipsun was heard to remark that in former years there has always been a large portion of the student body, usually Freshmen, who never make an attempt to obtain a copy of the Klipsun. Are you in this class f Soliciting of student Klipsun orders will be made by the management early in February. With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a half. The Klipsun staff are putting their best efforts into the successful completion of the Klipsun, and the Business Manager is laboring manfully on the many financial problems involved in its publication. However, your support is needed to make the annual a fiinancial success. Are you going to pay up? • —B. S. N. S. GIRLS' ATHLETICS. Comments have been heard right and left upon the game Saturday evening between the Whatcom and Fairhaven Girls' Alumni team. Why not have more such enjoyable games? If Normal had a girl's basketball team thrilling games with other schools might often be added as an attraction to the boys' games. While you are thinking, talking, hoping and praying: "New Gymnasium," why not keep up interest thru a girls' school team in basketball! —V. M. IDYLS OF THE KING NO. 6 I. DE SCRIBE. Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

O. Holland gave an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S. ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely, ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B. S. N. S. Freshman Play.

Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say! There's a lot of cheer in it. It's like the first chirp of a bird In spring, when the hilltops are greening Right after the cold and the snow I think, when it comes to real meaning- There isn't one word like "Hello." —James W. Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile. It's full of good cheer when we say it, It shows that we're friends on the hill, We all shouldn't act like we fear it, It scatters bad felings and ill.

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the same as a week night. —North Bend Eclipse. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET A.

Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the "Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country. After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open fireplace, and playing games. . ' Miss Moffat folded the paper, took off her glasses, and glanced out of the window. "Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S. N. S. — THESPIAxio.

The defeated teams will treat both clubs to refreshments, so there is one thing to look forward to, no matter who wins. It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple. B. S. N. S. OHIYESA NOTES.

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

Ellensburg has great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used. The Trail, C. P. S., Tacoma: C. P. S., according to a recent editorial, wants to have as its slogan for the football year of 1923. "C. P. S., the Center College of the West."

CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection. In fact the hour was entirely too short. iHii«ii«iiKii»ii«r«ii«ii«ii«ii«ii«ii gt;tiiHii«ii«ii«ii«M«ii«iwii«iwiMa n m m ® 1 OWL 1 I SATURDAY I j SPECIALS 1 SI a I Visit Our Store Saturday M pi And See What You Can Save ! | on Everything You Want 1 "• IS I OWL 1 PHARMACY MARINELLO Beauty Shop Massaging Prismatic Scalp Treatment Shampooing Mai veiling, Hair Dressing and ManJcwJBg. 1301 Commercial St. Phone 623 At the Wednesday assembly, Mr. Bev-er save an interesting and constructive criticism of the practice debate held Monday.

Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics. The support of the student body will not only encourage the members of the team, but will also be beneficial to the school.

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there. The Y. W. is grateful especially to the girls who furnished special music at the meetings, Miss Mary Passage, Miss Ruth Markham and Miss Elizabeth Izaacs. B. S. N. S.: Wm.

Vol. VIII. January, 1909 No. 4 The Messenger staff wish you, one and all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have you seen the "Messenger Clothesline" in the Library? Read the Exchanges. If you want to read something good, turn to Mr. Ro-mine's article on Bermuda. The following motto comes to us from Dr. Padel-ford of the University: "To make my students sane, vigorous, and sensitive, through a balanced training of the intellectual, the ethical, and the aesthetic life; always ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER working with reference to the individual, that he may be wise, humane, and gentle; such is my ideal as an English teacher." The spirit and thought is beautiful and helpful and may become a part of our creed no matter what line of teaching we may take up. From Mr. G. Allison, of Tacoma, our former Editor.— "Mr. Foster writes me that the school is in a prosperous condition, and judging from the Messenger it seems to be true. It does me good to see the students taking an active interest in the life of the school. After all, I sometimes think that it is the school atmosphere which determines to a greater extent than we think the real benefits. I know that my work in the various activities of the school gave me as much working power as my class work gave." What we need in our student body is co-operation, a means by which all things survive or develop—a means to an ultimate end. For such co-operation we must have boosters, not knockers; workers, not idlers; strong fighters, and not quitters. Every member must be as a cog in a wheel, always ready for duty, and never ready to shirk. Be at assembly societies, at the lecture course numbers, and on athletic field, to show your loyalty and appreciation of character building ideals. If we have lost by a decision or by score, don't think we have lost all, for to those who know how to take defeat it is oftentimes the noble victory. Is not this our standard and aim? Do we not feel the necessity of working together ? Let us make our life the school's. Two more things would put us on college standings in the athletic sphere—a tennis court and a baseball diamond. Tennis playing especially is a most scientific and beneficial sport for both men and women. Some mention has been made of a court, but nothing definite as yet has been done, so lets get together and work for this court. We want a good one, one that can be used rain or shine. Get to work on the matter, students—boost, boost, boost, is our motto. It is only when an institution is brought to a realization of its power that it is useful. The Bellingham Normal is no exception to this rule, as is evident by the different things which it has successfully promoted. There is still ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER 3 one activity, common to college life, which might now successfully be taken up—that of an orchestra. Of the material right in our midst we could form an orchestra such as any school in the land might well be proud of; every day some one is found who can play well on the violin, guitar, cornet, trombone, or snaredrum. All that is necessary is to assemble these persons together three or four times a week for an hour's practice. Not only would this talent be developed, but it would be quite an addition to our assembly by giving it a smack of culture that can be procured in no other way. Fifteen or twenty years hence when this institution has climbed in the scale of fame and efficiency equal to that of any other school in our land, who would not be PROUD to say, " I assisted in organizing the orchestra in the Bellingham Normal." STATEMENT OP ASSOCIATION FINANCES. The finances of the Students' Association are far better than was anticipated. The stock of the supply room purchased to date amounts to $1,297.46 cost, and in spite of the low prices charged for it, the earnings already amount to $187.36 over and above all expenses. The total expense of operating the supply room thus far has been only $75.53. The following statement is taken from the books of the supply room, December 23, 1908: Assets. Owed by general fund $ 12.05 Students' accounts 2.95 Messenger 4.40 Inventory of stock at cost, Dec. 23 386.38 Cash 15.68 Balance in bank 42.66 $464.12 Liabilities.

Mr. Herman Smith, business manager, has se- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 TEE MESSENGER cured in advertising and subscriptions a monthly revenue of about $110.00 as against not to exceed $75.00 last year. As a result of this and the advantageous cnotract of this year, the Messenger is much larger and more attractive than last year's, and yields a monthly profit of about $25. The general fund is also in splendid condition. There was $306.65 from student fees in this fund at the opening of school. Football used, above receipts, about $150.80, and expenditure more than justified by results. About $50.00 was spent in paying last year's bills and incidental expenses, leaving but $100.00. But the football game Thanksgiving day, which made up $44, and the Faculty- Normal Boys' game, have left a total in the general fund of $141.66. The receipts from entertainments and basketball games will undoubtedly restore this fund to the condition it was in at the beginning of the season. JAMES O'SULLrVAN. FUTURITY. Closed, is the silent tomb of the past; The stone can ne'er be rolled away. Open, is the gate of the future By the fair New Year today. Ah! well for us, as the ages roll, That there is a Hand, strong, sublime, That marks the path to our destiny In our onward course, through space and time. Then though the world is tired and old Let the heart be fresh and young And bright, with glorious hopes, For the year that is just begun. —Goldie Wreston Brown. LITERARY. A Seven Weeks' Sojourn In Bermuda. "Father Neptune one day to Dame Freedom did say, 'If ever I live upon dry land, The spot I should hit on would be little Britain.' Says Freedom, 'Why, that's my own island: O. 'tis a snug little island, A right little, tight little island! ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER 5 Search the world round, none can be found So happy as this little island.' " The above sentiment expressing the poet's approval of Britain might apply with equal propriety to Bermuda. It would hardly be possible in the compass of this article to give more than an impressionistic sketch of Bermuda. While having the latitude of middle George and Alabama, the beautiful little archipelago has a decided sub-tropical climate, and its vegetation in many forms is tropical. To one who has not been privileged before to see a southern clime with all that it connotes in story and in song, in the grace and hospitality of its people, and in the color and beauty of its landscape, Bermuda holds a peculiar enchantment. The Bermudians have a happy way of saying to the sojourner that when the great Architect created the world, he built the last and therefore the best part of it in the form and reality of Bermuda. And those leisurely and accomplished people seem to live as if they believe their happy statement. Crime is infrequent, the poverty that bites is only occasional, and the maddening strife for commercial and social supremacy for the selfish eminence of the individual is not worth the game. Bermuda has the contour of an open gauntlet in profile with the thumb view clearly in definition. Its area is 191/! square miles. The nearest land is Cape Hatteras. From New York harbor to her only dock for deep-draught liners is 704 nautical miles or 44 hours' sail, and after many varying graduate to post-graduate degrees in gastronomic feats, the sight of Bermuda to the voyager is like a medicine bearing a picture of paradise upon its label. The population of Bermuda is roughly 18,000 people, two-thirds of whom are negroes. "When the New York steamer slows up to Hamilton dock the passengers aboard note Sambos and Dinahs with visages gaping as if employed for dentifrice establishments lined up galore to welcome the good ship's safe arrival. Though the negro outnumbers the white man two to one, and though there is no discriminatory statute against, he understands that Bermuda is a white man's government.

A year ago, however, the little island empire was shaken from her rocky ribs to her ridge pole by a question of mighty import. There was automobile and non-automobile segregation of Bermuda's law givers. The NON won by a bare majority vote of one, and as a result no skunk-wagons profane the beautiful, but narrow serpentine roadways of Bermuda. Bermuda is really a collective name, for there are said to be 365 islands—one for each day in the year—according to the last census. The little group is of interest to the student of physical geography. It is low-lying fringed by reefs that bode ill to the innocent mariner. If the whole area to the margin of the reefs should be elevated some 200 or 300 feet, there would be a little continent approximately 230 instead of the present 1 9 ^ square miles of extent. The geology is all limestone of aeolian accumulation. This rock enters into all the structures of Bermuda residences, shops, public edifices, fortifications, etc., and the effect is quite pleasing to the eye. The Bermuda homes are creations of simple, yet chaste, elegant designs. There is no running fresh water of any kind in Bermuda. The water for drinking, cooking and cleansing is rain water. By means of carefully whitewashed expanses of surface lime rock serving as a catch-all the rain is led to cisterns and reservoirs not always too carefully guarded for he. the most deceptive of all singers, monsieur mos-auito propagates prolfically in these artificial wells, and by night he shrills a pesty lay into the ear of him who explores for that "sweet sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." The vegetal and animal life of Bermuda teems in luxuriance. The oleander is in flower from early spring to December. The royal poinciana, the poinsettia, the tamarind, palmetto, palms of many species, huge century plants, the plantation, the banana and many others are in striking evidence on every hand. And these generic relations, the very antitheses in aroma, the lily and the onion, the latter hygienic talisman of Sambo, should not be omitted from the floral lists. And as if to give a solace akin to northern climes, the Bermuda cedar clothes the low Iviug hills with nature's ever restful green. The animal life, barring some beautifully plumaeed birds, is restricted to the reefs which, abounding with corals that rival the beauty of the rose, and waving sea-fans and sea-plumes, look like veritable sea-gardens. So rich and beautifully blended are the colors of the fishes ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 that it would seem as if they have done naught else in life but to make millinery of the rainbow. The hues of the water and the tints of the sky are the artist's Eden. They charm by this soft, gentle blending, and variety of effect, yet in gergoousness and striking grandeur the cloud effects at sunset do not equal those of Puget Sound. A. P. R. ABOUT OURSELVES. A recently received list of questions prepared by the United States Commissioner of Education, Mr. E. E. Brown, was submitted to me and presented to the school at the Monday morning assembly, December 7, as the students present on that occasion will recall. A total of 283 usable reports was obtained and it has occurred to me that the readers of The Messenger may be interested in reading the summaries. The questions covered two subjects, age and teaching experience, and the results are as follows: Fifteen years of age or less, 5; sixteen years, 18; seventeen years, 30; eighteen years, 42; nineteen yars, 50; twenty years, 29; twenty-one years, 28; twenty-two years, 24; twenty-three years, 13; twenty-four years, 7; twenty-five years or above, 27.

Christmas day at the Mine had always passed just like any other day until one eventful time of which I shall tell you. The Nighthawk is in an isolated region far back in the Cascade mountains, where the winters are long and severe. The snow is often six or eight feet deep and communication with the outside world almost impossible. Clustered about the mine are a few cabins, some bunk houses, a store and a saloon. The rough miners lived base, degraded lives. After the day's work was ended they would congregate in Big Dan's saloon and make the night hideous with drinking, gambling, and fighting. But few women lived in the camp. Only one family, the O'Neals, ever observed Christmas. They had a pretty little erirl with blue eyes and golden hair, and for her each year they had had a tree. The summer preceding the winter of which I write, Mr. O'Neal had been killed by an explosion in the mine, and ever since Mrs. O'Neal had been struggling bravely to keep the wolf away from their door, but Christmas eve found them face to face with starvation. She explained to little Donna that they had nothing more to eat, and no wood, so she must not expect a Christmas tree that year. The dull aching of her heart was almost unbearable when she saw the look of disappointment on Donna's face. Presently the child looked up and said, "Mamma, if I ask Jesus won't he give us something to eat and some wood to make a fire? I am going to ask him anyway," and she ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 9 slipped down from her mother's lap, where she was sitting, and went out of the door and into the empty woodshed. "Scotty" McFarland, one of the miners, was slouching past the 0 'Neal cabin, and thinking he heard some one speak, paused to listen. A child's voice lifted in prayer; she asked in childish faith for the necessities of life, and then she added, "Dear Jesus, I do want a little Christmas tree." The softer nature of the man was awakened and blinding tears sprung to his eyes. He hurried on to the gathering at Big Dan's and told them what he had just heard. "Fellows," he said, " I ain't goin' much on these here Christmas doin's, and I aint any betterin' the rest o' ye, but that kid's gotter hev a tree—pass round the hat." The miners responded with their usual generosity and one five-dollar piece after another went into the hat to keep company with those already there. The next morning little Donna went to the door. What could it mean, scattered all about was wood, sacks of flour and innumerable parcels and in their midst stood a little fir tree decorated with ribbons and bright paper. Unspeakable, unutterable joy filled the hearts of mother and child, but this was not all, a little sack hanging on the tree was found to contain gold coins. The child's prayer had indeed been answered—Christmas had come to the Nighthawk Mine. 0. A. A Second-Year Student. JIMMIE'S CHRISTMAS. It was Christmas eve—an ideal Christmas eve! Snow was falling softly, flecking the pedestrians with its large white flakes. The street lamps were but obscure stars. The hour was seven and the streets of Chicago were crowded with happy people on their way to the churches, which, with very few exceptions, were brilliantly lighted for the services. Street cars were crowded and many carriages conveyed their share of the people. Everyone seemed happy and glad that it was Christmas time. No, not all; for wandering along the street, scarcely noticed by the passersby, was a little boy. His clothes were ragged and worn, his face thin and haggard, and his body shivered from the cold. By his side trotted an ugly little dog and from time to time the little master would ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 !TBfi kMSSEtiGER stoop and caress him and whisper something in his ear. As they passed a brilliantly lighted church Jimmie's face wore a wistful look. How he wishes he could go to a Christmas tree! Last year mother had dressed him in his Sunday clothes and had taken him to the services. But since then mother had gone to heaven and his father had taken Jimmie 's Sunday clothes and sold them to get money for rum. Now he scarcely had enough clothes to keep him warm and many times he had gone all day without anything to eat. As he thought of his mother he wished he could spend Christmas with her. On he wandered, not knowing where to go but compelled to walk to keep warm. At last a kind-faced man stopped him. "Don't you want to go to a Christmas tree, little boy?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered Jimmie; "but I can't, 'cause mamma's dead and I hain't got no good clothes." "There's a place four blocks from here where they want all little boys like you to come. "Yes," he added in answer to the questioning look, "those clothes will be all right. They want you to come." With a new hope Jimmie hurried on. What would there be for him? And would there be anything for Trip? Visions of beautiful Christmas trees crossed his mind. They had reached the corner now and Jimmie could see the lights of the hall shining through the snow. Soon he would see the tree. As they crossed the street a carriage dashed around the corner and Jimmie saw that Trip was directly in its path. With a cry he sprang forward and caught up the dog. But he was too late. The horses struck him and he was thrown down beneath their feet. Tender hands carried the unconscious boy within the mission. A doctor was summoned, but to no avail. As consciousness returned he opened his eyes and looked inquiringly at the faces above him. The unhurt dog was brought to the pallet and Jimmie, satisfied that his pet was safe, shut his eyes and became very still. There was a silence in the room, for Jimmie had gone to spend Christmas with his mother. HABRY F. HEATH. Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions characterize the great.—Goldoni. i ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 11 ---------- !THJE MESSENGM ii CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS. It was in the land of shades where the spirits of good trees are assembled. "And what did you do on earth?" asked the Great Voice of the stately fir. " I builded homes, and the great buildings of cities; I furnished masts for ships that sail the seas, and I made warm fires for man's comfort," said the fir. " I , too," said the cedar, standing close to the fir, "protected man and helped him civilize the world. I kindled his fires." " I , too," said the pine, and the oak, and the maple, and the birch; "we all helped him build the 'house beautiful.' " "And what was your work?" said the Voice, as the beautiful fruit trees brought their offering. "We furnished man food," said the orange, the apple, the walnut, and the chestnut. Thus, in answer to the Great Voice, all the trees of the earth—the beech and the birch, the pine and the palm, the cotton wood and the banyan, from the north and the south told of the deeds they had done on earth. At last came the little Christmas tree, all decked in silky tinzel and tinkle and pretense. "And why are you here?" said the Great Voice, gravely. " I do not know," said the little tree lightly. "There is nothing that I do but be happy." After a pause, "But when they look on me all the little children laugh and clap their hands, and grown people nod their heads and smile through happy tears. Sour faces grow loving and sorrowful ones, happy." Then spoke the Great Voice, and it was heard through all the forests of shade-land: " I t is well to warm man's body, but it is better to warm his heart. It is a good deed to give man food; but it is blessed, indeed, to waken the soul." I. R. B. I can think of no seasonable sentiment more inspiring than the hopeful prayer that the world of nations and of individuals may realize more and more fully than ever the spirit of that first Christmas: Peace through good will.

When the whistle blew announcing time at the close of the football game on Thanksgiving day, the boys of the Normal began the practice of basketball. Contrary to custom they are doing their chief practice in the evenings, and every evening you can hear the whistle in the Gymnasium. The Normal is putting out three basketball teams. On Friday, December 18th, the second team played at Everson against the first team there, the score being 12 to 9 in favor of the Normal. The second team promises to take care of the teams of the small towns of this and Skagit County. The first team, composed of Umbarger and Becker, guards; Davenport, center, and Goodell and Petheran, forewards, promises to be a strong quintet. Games have been scheduled with Lincoln High, Mt. Vernon, Sedro- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER i3 Woolley, Ellensburg Normal and Anacortes High. The schedule is by no means complete and a tour away is anticipated. Let us all "boost for" the team. SOCIETY. A number of the enterprising students have organized a new society, which will be known as the Normal House of Representatives. The idea of the organization is to develop the power of debate and expression. It was thought that this unique way would present more novel features and thus insure more interest. All the business will be carried on similar to that of the National House of Representatives. If the number is sufficient there will be a representative assigned for each state. Bills will be brought in and discussed by all who gain the recognition of the speaker. The first meeting will be held in the Normal Society Hall, in evening January 8th, at which meeting Attorney Foster, of the city, who has been elected speaker, will preside. The Thespian Dramatic Club entertained the students and faculty just before the holidays with "A Christmas Chime." There will be several more pleasant programs given by this club before the close of the term. This club is developing some strong talent along dramatic lines. The Athenian Society will resume work early in the new year. This is the society with which many of the new students, who wish to do general literary work, should ally themselves. The Alkisiah Club met Friday, December 11 at 2:30 o'clock in the Society Hall. An excellent program was rendered in the presence of a large number of the students. The program opened with a song meet in which all those present joined heartily. Miss Baker presided at the piano. After several songs had been sung the subject for the aay, "Play-ground Organization," was taken up. Miss Walborg Olsen gave an excellent talk on thr- "Conventions of the Play-ground Association." Following this was a very entertaining presentation of the High- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 14 ---------- 14 THJE MESSENGM land Fling, by Misses Isabelle Williams and Lucette Mc- Kechne in illustration of one phase of play ground instruction. The next number was a remarkably well given talk by Miss Annie Nord on the subject "Play-ground Organization." As a closing number the play-ground work was farther illustrated by a series of very unique folk dances in which several of the club members took part. Miss Mat-tie Stanton furnished the music for this number. After the program the guests were excused and the members remained for a business session. The Alkisiah Club includes a number of the most earnest and ambitious students in school, and every member realizing the value of society work in school, is striving to make the club come up to a high standard. An excellent program is rendered every two weeks, to which all of the students and teachers are cordially invited. W. G. The Bible Institute—Y. W. C. A. Because of the great help derived from the Bible Institute of last year, we feel the need of another such institute this year. While as yet the plans are not complete, the time has been set and several of the speakers selected. The sessions will begin the second Thursday after vacation, January 14th, and end the following Sunday. Appropos of the work being done in the Bible classes, the thought of the Institute will center around the life of Christ. Miss Hillman, of the Tacoma City Association, will be with us in all of the meetings, and different pastors of our city will speak. Every member of the school, whether a member of the association or not, is urged to share the benefit of this Institute. STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION. True to the prophecy, merely a small fraction of the great throng of people seeking admittance at the doors of the Normal Gymnasium could be accommodated Friday evening, December 11th, when the much talked of and already famous game of basketball was to be played by the sedate and stately men of the Bellingham State Normal school faculty and the boys of the student body. ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 15 ---------- ftHE MESSENGER i5 Those fortunate enough to gain admittance were obliged to restrain their eagerness for minor things came first on the program. An exciting game of basketball was played by the Juniors and Third Years, the proud and mighty Juniors winning, but not without a decided effort, for their opponents were of such mettle as to make the skirmish for the ball a lively one. The spectators were afforded a rare (?) treat in the minstrel performance. This was composed of musically talented members of the school, and the soul-inspiring tones sent forth from the various instruments caused the nearts of the listeners to swell with pride when they realized that these performers were fellow students. The exhibition of strength by the world-famed Sullivan would have been much enjoyed had the heavy weights not rolled lightly from within reach of the great man as he was preparing to lift them. No less interesting was the black bear caught in the wolds of America by Theodore Roosevelt and trained to be as docile as a child. The creature showed almost human intelligence in some of its tricks. It was finally announced that the long-looked-for game was to take place, and amid the thundering cheers the players took their positions. As the game progressed the excitement waxed strong. Mr. Forest held the audience spellbound until they decided which basket he was playing for. Mr. Deerwester made one basket and Mr. Epley very nearly had the same good fortune befall him. Mr. O'Sullivan, as center, played with the zeal of a true athlete, and for a time even football speeches were forgotten. The extreme nervousness displayed by Mr. Bond caused him to lose several baskets, but as the game advanced he grew more calm and played with greater ease. At the close of the game, while the echoing cheers were still ringing, Miss George, in behalf of the ladies of the faculty, addressed the generous but defeated gentlemen in a speech of appreciation for the loyal support they had given the faculty colors. She presented each with a huge candy cane, which it is hoped will serve them as a support in their higher aspirations in the athletic field. A. HOLM.

ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY MORNINGS. On Friday, December 4th, Mr. J. W. Clark, who was to address the students, was unable to be present. The ever- ready Mr. 0'Sullivan filled the gap and gave a talk which might have had for its subject, "First One Thing and Then Another in Politics." In spite of the fact that Mr. 0'Sullivan had no time to prepare, his review of current events was very instructive. On December 11th Mr. Bond delivered an inspired oration on the subject of "What the Faculty Are Doing and What They Intend to Do." He informed the students in the most eloquent language that a selected faculty team had consented to appear on the gymnasium floor to show the merits and demerits of the great game of basketball. In following sentences filled with flowery words he eulogized the members of the faculty "five" and exhorted the students to attend the game. The other feature of the program was an allustrated lecture on "Persia," by Dr. Johannan, a native Persian. The lecturer kept the audience laughing most of the time, but his talk was too personal. Parts of it were overdone, and beyond having a good laugh, the students were for the most part disappointed. On Friday, December 18th, occurred the annual Normal and Training School Christmas Tree. After a short musical program Santa Claus appeared and helped distribute the presents, which were found on the beautifully decorated tree. The Normal and the Training School exchanged gifts, as they have done in previous years. H. F. H. Thursday. December 17th, the Alkisiah Club had a sale of blooming bulbs and candy. The flowers sold rapidly ; in fact, nearly all were engaged before the time set for the sale. The venture was new, but was so very sue- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 22 ---------- 22 THE MESSENGER cessful that the club members are planning to make such a sale an annual feature. A large quantity of first class candy was contributed by the members, and it found a ready sale among the hungry students during the lunch hour. The contest between the three Normals will be held at our own school this year—probably some time in the latter part of March. Students, let us make this meeting one of the great events in the history of the B. N. S. First and foremost, we must give our guests a royal welcome and a good time, and send them home with none but words of praise for our hospitality and school spirit. The Junior party, Friday night, December 4th, was a great success. Each member of the class came representing, either by actions or dress, some well known book. Mrs. Wiggs was there in all the glory of one who is conscious of having just completed an elaborate toilette— hair arranged in the latest style, freshly ironed calico dress, and new second-hand shoes (with only one hole in the sole which didn't show). Her children, Asia. Euro-pena and Australia, also came to see and enjoy the wonders of a party given by the Juniors of the Bellingham Normal. The first part of the evening was spent in a guessing contest, Alice Tigie receiving the prize, a souvenir book, having guessed forty-seven books represented by as many persons out of the some seventy Juniors present. Then followed a short programme, after which all were served to cocoa and cake. Mr. Beal, as toastmaster, called on Mr. Deerwester to speak, who responded with a short but spicy speech which might have been somewhat longer had not Miss Sperry given a timely warning that he must not steal ALL of HER speech. Being a gentleman of peace he immediately took his seat amid the hearty applause of all present. Miss Sperry was next called upon, and gave us a very interesting talk, remarking (as is usually the case whenever the Juniors are concerned) that she was pleased to see such a high standard of learning as was displayed tonight, for she had not read or even heard of nearly all the books represented. The President and Secretary next gave short speeches ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 23 ---------- THE MESSENGER 23 expressing their appreciation of the evening's entertainment. As the Treasurer had wisely made herself scarce she was not called upon to give a toast. A LONE DWELLER. Slower and slower we wound our way up the mountain trail. Our packs were growing heavier and we were impatient to be rid of them. No suitable place for camp had yet appeared, and since the nights were cold we would be uncomfortable indeed unless some friendly roof offered its shelter. Suddenly, as unexpected as an apparition, there stood before us in the trail a man, apparently a miner. He was as startled as we were, but quickly recovering from his surprise, he asked us about our journey. Upon learning that we were shelterless he insisted on our going to his house and spending the night there. We needed no second bidding, but fell in behind our guide. He led the way with long swinging strides. We were glad when we reached his cabin on the mountain side. We entered and threw down our packs. The cabin was a roomy one of cedar logs. It had one peculiarity which we could not at first understand. Two rows of heavy posts reached to the roof where they were fastened to huge rafters. These, we learned, were a support to the roof during the heavy snows. They were warped and twisted from the weight they had borne. Meanwhile our host was busy getting the meal. The savory odors of ham and coffee were very welcome, as our fare for days had been the simplest. A feeling had been growing on me, ever since we had submitted to his guidance, that our new friend had a remarkable personality. His face and figure were very impressive. His eyes were most noticeable. They protended from their sockets in the effort to see through and beyond you, for they did not seem to stop at the physical, but to stare on into the distance. They had the look of one who was not familiar with human society, closely resembling the eyes of the wild animal. His hair was slightly gray. The features of his face were regular and strong. His shoulder were broad and he towered up above the usual height. Tremendous strength and agility were written all over the man. His personal characteristics were well set off by a ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 24 ---------- 24 THE MESSENGER plainness in dress which was, of course, necessary in his walk of life. A suit of brown khaki, high topped boots and a fur cap constituted his every day wardrobe. I wondered again and again what manner of man he was. He spoke little, though we felt that he was enjoying our stay as mluch as we were. After we had spread our blankets in one corner and retired for the night I noticed that our host had left the cabin. He had been absent for some time when I rose softly, went to the door and looked out. It was a brilliant moonlight night and everything on the bare mountain sides stood out as plainly as by day. A few yards away, on a projecting rock, sat our host. He was apparently enthralled by the magnificent display nature had made when these jagged mountains were piled together. As I watched him there gradually entered my consciousness the reason why he lived in this wild inhuman fashion. He was a lover or rather worshipper of nature. Here the faithful child of nature watched year in and year out. If one could understand the wild call of the place some little indulgence would be granted him. I seemed to see the seasons come and go. When the white night would be changed, when the whirling mist should come over the pass in great valley-filling masses and down the great ravine on the left would come the wildly driven wind from the north to catch this mist and swirl it ferociously around till it crystallized into snow which would fall and cover the earth even to the tree tops. I do not know how long the hermit remained at the watch, but in the morning he rose early and set us on our way. Not content with this much hospitality, he guided us to the summit of the pass and bid us godspeed down the mountain. "We had gone some distance when, coming out on a sort of promontory, we looked back. Our strange entertainer was standing with feet spread wide apart and eyes on the distant fields of jagged, spiked mountain tops, which stretched away so far as eye could reach. And, thus, we left him. NOAH DAVENPORT. JOSHES. Seen on the Bulletin Board. Lost—My Psychological Development. Wanted at once—Three chicken catchers.

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1920 NO. 13 Normal Triumphs Over Crimson Redoubtable Whatcom Five Goes Down to Defeat Before Onslaught of Carver's Fast Blue and White Machine. Large Crowd Cheers Team to Victory" Playing before the largest aggregation of basketball fans ever assembled in the Normal gym, the Normal quintet defeated the Whatcom five by the close score of 14 to 15 last Friday evening. The game was close from the beginning to the end, Whatcom failing to get more than a five-point lead during the entire game. The Normal gym was filled to overflowing, over a hundred people were turned away disappointed. The balcony was lined up solidly and the sidelines were crowded with enthusiastic fans. Ira Loree and Archie Erickson lead the Normalites in'their famous yells and songs while the Crimson followers were unable to get in much team-work because of this fact. We will not attempt to foretell the outcome of the game, but will say that, after seeing our men playing against the Whatcom men, our outlook is very bright. The Normal team will play the Vancouver, B. C, ex-Normal team in the Normal gym tomorrow night. No reports have reached us concerning the Vancouver squad, but we know that our own record is still unmarred by defeat. PHILO GIRLS WIN CLUB GAME The preliminary game, between the Philo and Rural Life girls, was a fast exhibition of girls' basketball. At no time were the Rural Life forwards dangerous, due to the fast guarding of Hilda Woodburn and Regina, Frank. Only one field basket was secured by the Rural Life forwards, the other three points being made on free throws. The final score was 33 to 5 in favor of the Philomatheans. piloted by a very able young man as sisted, at times, by a promising hula dancer. A preliminary game was staged by the Rural Life and Philomathean girls' teams, the Philo girls taking the honors by a score of 33 to 5. SCORE 7 TO 4 END OF FIRST HALF Both teams entered the game at top speed, Whatcom showing a little more dash than the Normalites, and the game was featured by close guarding and terrific playing. Both teams secured two field goals, but Whatcom advanced her score by caging three free throws out of six chances. Cole, Crimson guard, secured both of the field baskets for Whatcom, while Jenkins and Yorkston shared the honors on the Normal team. WHATCOM GAINS LEAD At the beginning of the second half, C'rum, of Whatcom, tossed another field goal, increasing Whatcom's lead to five points. This is the widest margin between the teams at any stage of the game, the Normal rally starting immediately afterwards. Sangster was replaced by Black, at center, who immediately increased the IT"!'1"0 V Normal score by tossing in two field baskets, one right after the other. Not to be out-done, Jenkins tossed in three baskets during the remainder of the half, which, with one free throw, gave the Normal squad the game. The score was 13 to 15 up to the last 45 seconds of play when Black made two personal fouls which gave the Whatcom team a chance to tie the score, but they succeeded in caging only one of the throws and the Normal team still lead by one point at the end of playing time. A return game is to be played, at Whatcom, on January 23. As yet Whatcom has not recovered from the shock of defeat and are boasting what they will do in the return game. They point out that their gym is much larger than ours and that their players were defeated because of lack of playing room. This is true of the Normal squad also, because they were hampered by the large crowd overflowing from the side-lines. Yorkston and Jenkins were BOYS' GAME Normal — Whatcom — Jenkins f.

A WE NEED ANEW GYMNASIUM PRESENT GYM PROVES INADEQUATE TO HOLD IMMENSE CROWD AT GAME APPROPRIATION EXPECTED The Whatcom-Normal game last Friday night pointed out as never before the crying need of the Bellingham Normal for a new and much larger gymnasium. The present gymnasium, characterized by the local papers as "the little pen on the hill," was filled to overflowing and indeed it was well nigh impossible for many to secure admission. Says the American-Reveille: " If Governor Hart had attempted to attend the Whatcom-Normal basketball game played in the little pen on the hill last Friday night he probably would have been moved to call a special session of the state legislature for the purpose of appropriating enough money to build an adequate gymnasium for the big state school. The appropriation will be made likely at the next regular session of the legislature, a state senator said last night." And again: "Dr. G. W. Nash, president of the Normal, has insisted for a long time that the Normal has outgrown the present gymnasium and no one who attended last Friday's basketball game is willing to disagree with him. The casualty list resulting from the congestion of humanity was heavy and few escaped without at least having their toes trampled on." Dr. Nash expressed a wish that he could transform the old Edens Hall into a gymnasium, but also stated that he hoped the legislature would appropriate a sum sufficient to erect one more suited to our needs. P.-I. BOOSTS NORMAL On Wednesday, January 7th, the Post- Intelligencer issued a Pacific Northwest Industrial edition of 170 pages, in which one section is given over to Whatcom and Skagit Counties. In this section a comprehensive write-up of the Bellingham State Normal School appeared, indicating that the institution ranks with the best and that it has a fine equipment and able faculty. GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS The Evening Chorus is preparing an oratorio, " The Prodigal Son," which they expect to present the latter part of January. WE NEED A NEW GYMNASIUM DES MOINES (MEN-BELLINGHAM NORMAL REPRESENTED AMONG SCHOOLS OF LAND BY SIX DELEGATES EIGHT THOUSAND ATTEND Bellingham's v six delegates returned last Thursday from Des Moines, Iowa, where they attended the Student Volunteer Convention. The delegation consisted of five students, Misses Edith Kessler, Esther Nelson, Agnes Klipen-ger, Vivian Croxford; Clyde Bancroft, and one faculty member, Miss May Mead. The convention was in session from December 31 to. January 5. Eight thousand delegates representing forty nationalities from all parts of the world were gathered here to discuss the main theme of " Christianity in Other Lands." The house was divided into sections, each state of the Union, and each country occupying a section. A feature of the convention was the yells given by the various states. The platform was occupied by 400 speakers of all nationalities. Some of the distinguished men who spoke were Dr. John R. Mott, Dr. Sherwood Eddy and Dr. S. L. Taylor. In the mornings the eight thousand delegates met in the main building and the afternoons were given over to sectional meetings. One feature of the convention was the receptions given among the various states. Washington delegates attended a reception given them by Nebraska. Bellingham's delegates agree that it was a wonderful convention and are unanimous in expressions of appreciation of the great opportunity and privilege afforded them individually in attendance at this world's conference of Christian workers. FACULTY NOTES Dr. Miller has recently been appraised of additional adoptions of his text book, " Education for the Needs of Life," thus bringing the total number of adoptions to sixteen, mostly normal schools. His text book " The American Reader," has been adopted by the state of Texas. Dr. Herre, Miss Boring and Miss Woodard wil lattend the Washington state conference for social welfare in Seattle this week. Miss Sumner, formerly of our faculty, was a Normal visitor last weke.

Stephens Training School News Carrie Whittier Society Linda Koch •General School News Edna Dalziel ON BEING THE EDITOR If you are living under the delusion that being the editor of this paper is a snap job, just pause for a moment in your reading and consider the picture appearing at the head of this column. Note the hands — the dainty fingers, placed upon the editorial brow as thought provokers. Note the mouth, the compressed lips, the tired eyes .and two deep furrows plowed across the spacious forehead. And last, but not least, note the blank sheets of paper on the table before him. Where, Oh where are the noble thoughts that shall fill them? Well might he say like the poets of old: Come ye muses one and all, ' Ye fat, ye lean, ye short, ye tall. But the muses came to the poets, but alas they shun the editor. Then for a moment, if you can, apply your knowledge of psychology, and see in imagination the contents of the Messenger Box spread upon the table. All conceivable sizes, shapes and colors of paper are there. All conceivable tints of ink from violet to pink or green are present. But far worse than all this, the pure white paper is mutilated with every kind of penmanship from that developed by the original Adam to the Rice System. Then see the " copy " going to the printer and the editor giving instructions — but why dwell on this. It is far too sad for so cheerful an editorial as this one. But at last the work is finished and sent out for the approval of the public. Then listen to the comments and kindly thoughtful criticism of some, or the wild ravings and sad bemoanings of some one whose pet write-up has been eliminated. This,' indeed, is a pleasant picture to linger on, but. space will not permit. But usually there is some one who doesn't think that the paper is all wrong, and just between you and me, being the editor is not such a bad job after all. Let's see a good crowd out to the game tomorrow night, team will do its duty, but it needs your support. The Don't be afraid to " root." No one's own voice ever hurt them.

NO 10 THE LEWIS COUNTY INSTITUTE OF LAST A FORMER STUDENTS MEET On Wednesday noon, November 23, at the time of the Lewis County Institute in Centra] ia, a large group of former Bellingham students gathered in the Chamber of Commerce hall to pay respect and send greeting to their Alma Mater. The time was spent listening to talks from the Normal delightfully told by Mr. Bever, followed by Mr. Hoppe, who masterfully entertained the group with humorous readings. The noon hour was gone all too soon and only was there time for a few reminiscences of Normal days by Miss Z.

Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf of the Expression department, have important roles. Y COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL Today, the dangerous time of after-war reconstruction, is the time when people should be drawn together into a common unit of thought and action. As a stimulus to social instinct and cooperation, the Bellingham State Normal School is offering a Community Lyceum Course to small school communities. The course is formed to promote the following aims: To aid the school in the important work of humanizing and vitalizing its relations with the community; to make instruction, inspiration and entertainment available at a minimum cost DEALS OF NORMAL SET F FAITH IN SCHOOL JOURNAL REVIEWS WORK (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Five) The following contribution regarding our President and his ideals for Normal appears in the present issue of the Washington Educational Journal. "The subject of this sketch was born in Wisconsin and launched upon his career in South Dakota. Upon graduation from Yankton College, he was admitted to the ancient and honorable order of the ferule and immediately started to initiate young men and women into the mysteries of Pytagoras, Eulid, and Ptolemy. While teaching Mathematics and Astronomy at Au-gustana and Yankton Colleges, he gave indication of professional ambition by undertaking graduate work at Leipsic and at the University of Minnesota. He received the Master's degree from Yankton College in 1905 and was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1911. In South Dakota he served two terms as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, one term as President of the State Teachers' Association, and nine years as President of the State Normal School at Aberdeen. "In 1914, Doctor Nash was called to the Presidency of the Bellingham State Normal School. The Norcnal-'by-the- Sea responded quickly to the vigor of his administration. Preceding highest records of attendance, both in the regular year and in the summer session have been doubled. The faculty has been increased from thirty-six to _ fifty-six. Buildings have been rehabilitated, campus greatly enlarged, a new heating plant and a new dormitory erected. President Nash has actively identified himself wth every form of public service— religious, educational, civic, patriotic. So markedly has he demonstrated his qualities of leadership that there is a general feeling in the community and in the state that if he undertakes any important task it will be carried through to a successful issue. "When interviewed regarding his aims and ideals for the Bellingham State Normal Shool, Doctor Nash expressed himself in the following terms: 'I want this school to be second to none of its kind in the country. I have always upheld the position that the Normal Schools of the state must be regarded as institutions of collegiate rank and that they must maintain collegiate standards of work. The Bellingham Normal _ is not copying any other institution; the plan of its work is unique. I do not want it tied to any traditions of the past that may hamper growth ,and development. Any innova-itons are welcomed that give evidence of a progressive spirit held in leash by a judicious, but not fettering, conservatism. The strength of a school is to be found in its faculty. I hope to have in charge of the various departments at all times specialists who will rank with the best in the country. It is my policy to commit to competent and representative members of the faculty the responsibility for developing the strongest possible program of teacher training.'" ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 December 2 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1921.

Normal boasts a dozen such. "Ho! Ho!" chuckles Mr. Bever, when asked to spin a fish tale. "You see, Mr. Bond about that." "I used to be exceedingly fond of fishing," confided Mr. Kibbe, "but somehow I never got exactly acquainted with the fish out here. Mr. Bond's your man." "Yes," mused Mr. Bond, "the way to get really acquainted with a person is to go away out from civilization somewhere and' spend the day fishing with him. If there's anything wrong with him it'll -come out pretty strong before the day is over. "I've been fishing one time or another with every man on this.faculty and;every one of 'em measures one hundred per cent on my pet test. "The biggest fish I ever caught I met upon the North Fork. I got a noble bite and pulled with all my might. Next thing I knew I came to the surface with the fish's tail in one hand and the limb of a tree in the other. Rindall helped me out. That fish weighed thirty-two pounds. "One time Eindall and I decided to see who was champion fisherman. We fished four straight hours, and at the end of that time one of us had 16S fish and the other had 172. We agreed never to tell who had those extra four fish. "I nearly caught a fish to beat Bond's," said Mr. Rindall. "I felt an awful tug at my line. I got a glimpse of him. He was four feet long. I played him for a while and then began to pull. Just as I was about to land him I awoke to find that Bond had all the covers. My fish was a blanket." Miss Gragg is the only woman of the faculty who confesses to any fishing experiences. "When I came West I was on tiptoe to t ry your wonderful fishing, of which I have heard so much. A neighbor furnished me with a jointed pole, a reel, a basket and high boots. We set out. The biggest stream we could find was five feet wide. We caught fish three inches long. I bore it proudly home and put it on the table— the cat got it." Mr. Kolstad politely refused to be communicative, so we resorted to blackmail. They tell this one on him: He was fishing one day on the Nooksack and had caught only a cold. He fell in with a stranger, a traveling salesman. The stranger mistook Mr. Kolstad for one of his own guild, as others have done before, and asked what his line was. The psychologist modestly disclaimed the tribute and asked "What's yours?" Now the salesman had been catching fish after fish, while A. K.'s basket remained empty. Quoth the salesman, "My line is rubber sporting goods, which explains my superior luck in fishing. I have on a pair of our boots now." "Do you mean to say—" "Sure thing! See for yourself." Mr. 'Kolstad put on the boots and immediately his luck changed. The fish threatened to eat up his hook and line, and soon his basket was full. In the excitement he rashly waded into the river. He was immediately surrounded by swarms of fish, which threatened to tear off the boots. He was dragged back to safety by the salesman, who said: "Prettv good line! Even the fish think so!" Now, I ask you! B. S. N. S. The boys who call themselves the Candly Kids are often times the Lemon Drops.

S.- JOSEPHINE CONVERSE WRITES FROM PARIS Miss Helen Beardsley has received a very interesting letter, dated "Paris, October 27, 1921," from Mrs. Josephine Converse, a graduate of our school, who was formerly an instructor in foreign languages at Whatcom High School. Mrs. Converse is now a student at the Sorbonne. She has received honorable mention there. She expects to teach French in a university upon her return to America. Mrs. Converse loves Paris, but has to work hard. "Students," she says, "go and go," but they do not receive credits unless they ask permission to take examinations." "French students refuse to be bored by a professor who kills time," she relates. "They shout—'asses, asses! C'est fini!' I have sometimes thought I should like to do that in the United States." The students incude Chinese, Japanese, Swedes, Danes, many Kussians, and some Americans. Living is high in Paris, but everyone seems to be employed, and there is little unrest, as in this country. B.

MILLER WRITES AN ARTICLE FOR JOURNAL In the November issue of the Washington Educational Journal appears an article on "Vocational Guidance as a Function of the School" by Dr. Miller. In this article Dr. Miller states, "that modern education demands that the interests, activities', and subject matter of the school be identical and continuous with life; and that to fit one's self for the vocation for which he is best adapted is the only possible way to participate freely and efficiently in the work of the world. This necessity for time in the development of intelligent choice implies an educative process which should make vocational guidance an integral part of the work of the school." Dr. Miller shows plainly the need for a system for guidance along these lines and also makes various suggestions as to how this might be done.

Many a triumph has been gained for our school in contests with the other Normals of state as well as with many strong district teams. This year is to prove no exception to the rule. Some excellent material is in school. Many men who have already proved their worth on other basketball floors, and some veterans of former Normal team are here. Coach Carver has arranged a stiff schedule, and is hopeful that his boys will finish the season with a clean slate. Many games besides those already ar ranged will doubtless be played. The regular games with the city school teams will probably take place. The schedule to date is as follows: Jan. 11—Vancouver ex-Normal (tentative). Here. Jan. 14—College of Puget Sound. Here.

NEW BOOKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE LIBRARY Book covers find among new books a fascinating something that is an intricate part of the undimmed ink, the fresh binding, the make up and content; they peep under a particularly promising looking cover or skim a page here and there with all the delights of exploration. So much interest has been shown in the New Book shelf introduced recently into the Library that we should like .to mention briefly a few of the very latest books that have appeared on the shelf. James, William. Letters 'of William James, edited by Henry James. To students who have been daily asking for th ereserved books, James' "Psychology," and James' "Talk to Teachers," this book will afford a great human experience and delight. "The whole man with his wide interest in philosophy, medicine, and writing, as well as the pleasant friendliness of home and college life are admirably disclosed in his letters, even in his pencil sketches." A. L. A. His "Varieties of Religious Experience" is a book especially interesting because of its broad outlook. Santayana, George. Character and Opinion in U. S. "A keen, kindly analysis of American life, particularly of the more subtle mental attitudes. Seems to centralize around a conception of the American character as vigorous, hopeful, good, somewhat childish; hampered intellectually by con-vetional prohibitions and compulsions; and devoted to a liberty based on cooperation and the spirit of live and let live." A. L. A. A new line of thought comes with the reading of this book, for not once in a year does a book teem with such a glowing vocabulary, crystal-like phrases, humor, and truth. The author was a professor at Harvard University and, though born in Spain, is one of Ameria's great philosophers. Read also his "Life of Reason," "Sense of Beauty," and "Winds of Doctrine." — B . S.

Think of it! To us has been granted two Thanksgiving days in the same year, the same A GRADUATION month, almost in the same week. Verily, POEM our hearts overflow with the measure of our blessings. The goal of our present ambition has been attained. Labor has its reward; the coveted diploma is within our grasp and, oh, joy! a possible pay check looms large in the desert waste of'our financial affairs. Thankful? Yea, beyond measure! But not grateful alone for material blessings! More priceless by far are the pleasant memories that we shall take with us—the memory of inspiring, faithful instructors, the memory of helpful, loyal friends and acquaintances and the memory of a delightful environment. ~We are thankful for the knowledge that has come to enrich our minds and s.rengthen our bodies. We are thankful for the fields of service that await us; may we ever play a woivhy part therein! Finally^ we are grateful to our fellow-citizens throughout the state and nation, who, for the sake of an ideal, have given of their means that we might enjoy the advantages that have been ours through our school lives.—One of them. B. S. N. S. SOME THOUGHTS ON SCHOOL SPIRIT. (XN EVERY HAND we hear much about school spirit. To excel in its display is the ambition of every class. The regular students complain that the summier students do not show a proper spirit, and these elder folk retort that the ''regulars" have not yet learned the meaning of the word. What is the elusive, intangible thing, that having it, we may believe we have it not, and, while boasting its possession, we yet may have it not? Eureka! In that maze of idle words. I have it. School spirit is a composite—the result of many reactions. The outer portions uncertain and nebular, consist of much vociferous ''rootings," of many sprawling class numerals in unseemly places, of many "hi-yu" good times and illy-prepared lessons, of much whispering under the assembly gallery and idling in the halls, of many anxious interviews with those in authority. But now, slowly, the composite takes form, registering faithfully prepared lessons, increasing earnestness and loyalty to duty. There is shown increased devotion to student activities and a better appreciation of faculty efforts. Until at the center, is found the heart, beating steadily and rythmieally through the years in love and veneration for Alma Mater.—A December Graduate. B. S. N. S. A LL THTNG-S come to ends—even such good things as quarters, terms, and Messenger s affs. It was with regret we realized that this issue was to.be our last, and we hurried around a little faster than usual and tried to fill up the pages with good news. We hope you read it every bit and like it, and if you do, tell us about it. As we think back over the quarter, somewhat in retrospect, we know there are many articles that should have been better, jokes that could have been funnier, news that could have been fresher. We like to think of the new columns we have started, the one absolutely new joke we wrote, the poem we made up; and then the things that we have left for the next staff to finish: tulips, good English, lectures. To the next staff we wish much success with their work, and thereto we bequeath them all our frayed pads and pencil stubs, the small hours in which to. work, the fears and joys and all the fun that goes with writing. AIL TF KI. TT M IK FROM THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT The ideal of physical training in our educational work should be to promote the health of school children; and this implies that special care be taken to overcome that tendency toward nervous unrest that the strain of American life, as well in business and social circles, as in the schools, tends to create. It may not seem that the few minutes which are or should be given each day to physical training in the public school, will affect materially for better or worse the character and bearing of the children who are subjected to it, but when it is remembered that these exercises are to go on day after day from the time the child enters school, its influence will be more readily recognized, and its hygienic importance more fully appreciated. (To be Continued) REDUCTION OF ARMAMENT TO BE DISCUSSED WEEKLY This Corner Will Be Devoted to the Cause Until the Allied Conference Closes. Princeton University has an active club for the Reduction of Armament. President Harding expressed his approval of the organization as follows: "It is most gratifying to know that the college thought of the Republic is being exercised helpfully to commit the sentiment of our country and the world to real achievement. A great service to this generation may prove vastly greater to the generations yet to come." The New York Times has given an entire edition over to a discussion of Reduction of Armament. The Literary Digest of November 12th devotes the entire number to the cause, as does the New Republic, November 16th. with an additional supplement. The Tacoma Ledger also gives an entire issue to the movement. Harry Lauder says war is all wrong. "Great things are coming. Great things will be done. Great things must be done. And there is a way in sight at the conference at Washington. It lies for the English speaking people of the world to make war impossible, not for a generation or two, but for everlasting time. Forty colleges responded to Princeton's call for a conference of colleges for reduction of armaments. President Harding commended them for their activity and interest, stating that the questions of today would be settled by the younger generation I wonder if the difference between the college student and the normal student may not be ilustrated by this very interest shown in a question of international importance. It seems as though the Normal students were not interested and utterly uninformed on this very important issue. Seligman of Columbia says, "Whether the delegates to the armament conference realize it or not, the future of European civilization is at stake." Meanwhile Americans should demand to know why 3 cents of every dollar of their government's money in 1920 was spent in paying for past wars and preparing for future wars.- B. S. N. S. LAURA A.

Miss Johnson's home was at Kent, Washington, where her' father has a large farm She came to Normal last year. Durig the "flu" epidemic she assisted Miss Mead most efficiently in caring for the girls at the dormitory. Miss Mead says she has never known of a more reliable girl in time of need and distress.

E OF A SI I Some there may be who think teaching a lifeless and prosaic process. After one has interviewed a number of Normal students he wonders if life in the movies, aeroplane flights, or the old adventures of cowboys on the plains offer any more thrilling experiences than some of these demure pedagogues have encountered, who so meekly answer "Present" when the roll is called at Normal classes! One slim, curly-haired maiden, who really appeared too fragile to tackle an eighth grade job in our Training school, confessed that last year she had the opportunity of dealing with human nature in the raw. She was called to teach in a four-room school, close to the boundary line where loggers, a few ranchers, smugglers of Chinese laborers and "booze runners" thrived. Boys composed most of the attendance, overgrown and undisciplined. School to them was a secondary consideration as they made men's wages when the logging camps were running. Their object in attendance was the old one, to run the school and the teacher. After many exciting adventures in which the old-fashioned rubber hose was. resorted to, and the teacher's desk one evening contained two quarts of whiskey, taken from one of the ring leaders of the boys; after much discouragement, ex-haustless patience and tact, order was brought out of chaos. Students admitted— even the wildest of them—that they liked to come to school. Evenings were spent coasting, hiking and fishing, with the object of keeping the boys out of mischief. Looking back on the year now, our fragile little Normal student thinks the experience she gained there invaluable and really admits that after the first misunderstandings were over, she grew to love and appreciate the warm, human nature she encountered. Another teacher, a young man, had a rather difficult time because most of the people in his district were Slavonians and lived in a community by themselves. Many of the pupils were older girls; more shy young ladies were never seen. When the teacher tried to be friendly and called at their homes to interest them in community work and play, the girls all ran and. hid. Nor ANNOUNCEMENT Commencing Thursday, December first, we will serve a splendid Table d'hote Dinner at $1.00 per person, from 5:00 to 8:15 p. m. every evening Sam Rathman's music Your social obligations may be taken care of by a Dinner at the Leopold Special attention to parties, large or small, on short notice was he able to make himself understood by the parents. One day he herded most of the pupils 6 miles to another school for a spelling match. When they arrived, they collected in a side room and refused under any consideration to come out. Another day he brought them to an adjoining school for an examination. They looked at the other children, looked at the questions and marched home. By persistent and patient effort he managed by the time school was out to get within speaking distance of them outside of school hours. In some cases it is well to be something of a boxer. A young teacher called a large boy, who had been misbehaving, to her desk. As soon as she rose he struck at her. As she had had a great deal of trouble with him and her predecessor had been forced to leave in the middle of the term, she did not hesitate, but launched an uppercut straight at him and he fell to the floor. He was not hurt but was forever after a good boy. Sometimes it pays to use cave-man tactics. The places which should have the most unselfish and best teachers are the one and two-room schools, because then the school house and the teacher must become the center of any community life that there is. One such teacher had a school in the coal fields. She organized a P. T. A. which became very active, a dancing club for the community, had a co-operative community hall built and conducted a Sunday School. It is such teachers who demand, or rather deserve the highest praise. Many students have only delightful experiences. One girl taught east of the mountains in the apple country. Most of the people were moderately well off. Her life was a series of rides, dinners and entertainments, which the community provided. She was paid $150 a month and had but twelve primary children to teach. —Verna McGinnis. 13. S. N. S. COMMUNITY COURSE WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SCHOOL (Continued From Page One) to communities; to present numbers of such nature that there shall be something of interest for every member of the school community. The members of this Lyceum Course are: Victor H. Hoppe, of the Expression department; W. C. Weir and E. J. Klemme, of .the Extension department, and Major A. F. Palmer, of the French army. These four men offer a course of quality at a small fee, making the numbers available for any school district. The numbers may be given singly or as a. whole course. The courses are planned to be given at intervals of about one month, thus spreading the course over three or four months. B. S. N. S. Edith R.—"I wisli to ask a question regarding a tragedy."

Direction of Jensen Von Herberg COMING FOUR DAYS STARTING WEDNESDAY OF AMUSING INCIDENTS IN NORMAL STUDENT LIFE (Anne Brannick) What would you do if you had paid tuition, your landlady had gratefully clasped her rent, your necessary books were purchased, and you • then found that your purse contained just enough money so that your life had to be preserved on ten cents a day until money could be received from home? For a week doubt and fear would hold you almost continually in their grip. How you would hope for and expect letters with every delivery of mail! You would be almost sure that the letter was in the city, the postal service poor and the postman negligent. Is there anyone who cares whether you have food or not? In a few months after, the mountains and valleys of hope and fear, phantom and fact, would assume their right proportions, and the humor and ridiculousness of the situation would afford as much amusement as your previous anxiety caused distress. Then as you, amid bursts of appreciative laughter, humorously related your experience of living for one week on one bowl of soup per day and then add, "You know those bowls of oyster crackers ?" More peals of laughter. Your friends immediately visualize the steady minus a cracker, minus another cracker, minus still another cracker, until only the bowl is left. Then they know why you do not eat crackers and soup now. B. S. N. S. Mr. Bever—"Before I begin talking, there are several things I want to say. Robert—"Yes, I'm taking up anesthetic dancing now!"

C. Phillipi, 916 High Street, last Saturday evening. Sixty members were present, including active members and those out of school. A splendid program was rendered, consisting of a flute solo by Carol Haeske, piano solo, Mabel Miller; a discussion, "The Finished Product," Blanche Cummins; "Philos in the Making," by Mary Wood. A large birthday cake holding twelve lighted candles was brought in. Mi-. Phillipi succeeded in blowing out the candles. The president, Lucien Loring, cut the frst piece and Cleo Baughman, a member of the club since 1914, cut the second. Herbert Hansen '•'clamped his teeth down on the ring," and it wasn't long until Catherine Shepherd was seen wearing it. Bernice Day discovered the thimble which means spinsterhood, and you should have heard Roswell Oliver groan! Milly Young grinned, but didn't say a word, when Arthur Boucher found the darning needle, the insignia of bachelorhood, in his piece. Wealth is forecast for at least one of the Philo members, for Esther Reddick found a dime in her cake. Lucien Loring received high score at a well known Philo game, while Marion Collier won the "booby" prize. The party certainly was one of the most enjoyable events in the history of the club. ALETHIANS. The Alethian Club held its regular business meeting Tuesday. Much important business was discussed. Thursday evening a fine program, illustrative of the country of Sweden-was given. The program was as follows: Roll call—Response with current events. Folk Lore and Customs—Martha Anderson. Folk Songs—Almeda Bowmen. Geography and Government—Ruth Church.

C. A. NOTES. The girls who did not go home for Thanksgiving were entertained by the Y. W. C. A. with a "Book Party," at Edens Hall, Friday evening. Each girl was dressed to represent some well-known book. The evening was filled with games, readings, and music. Refreshments were served in the dining-room, which was decorated in green and yellow. All were grateful to the Y. W. C. A. for its generous hospitality. At one of the meetings of the month, Faye Bruneau gave a talk about the work she is soon to take up in South America. She first discussed the customs, climate and characteristics of that country, then she spoke on her special teaching work to be done there. It was a most enjoyable talk and gave a clearer insight into the missionary work in South America. Rev. Taus gave a pleasing talk at the last meeting on the spiritual side of life, which proved an inspiration to all. The Y. W. C." A. held a week of fellowship throughout the country during the clays November 13th to 18th. The week was observed by the Normal Y. W. C. A. by holding prayer services at the noon hour each day. RURAL LIFE CLUB. The Rural Lifers held a short business* meeting November 17. A committee, consisting of Misses Dunnigan, Trosl and Reihman, was appointed to act to nominate officers for next quarter. The business meeting was followed by initiation of new members. Those in charge of the initiation ceremonies were Miss Keeler, Mr. Coughlin, Miss Benson, Miss Abrams, Miss Rosenburg and Mr. Hatley. They proved to be good doctors, barbers and physical education instructors, if one may judge from the way they handled their victims. The victims were: Mrs. Johnson, Miss Rans
