The organization is still in a state of development by which the various related courses are being brought into closer contact, forming a more effective working unit. Technique, the methods in teaching; Observation, the watching of the procedure in a schoolroom situation; and Teaching, the guided practice, the actual experience, are integral parts; but contributing more and more are the methods, the philosophy, and the subject matter obtained in the other departments. Just as the Training School Department is endeavoring to train the Normal students for the best possible service in the communities to which they go, so it is also endeavoring to give the best possible advantages to the children in the Train-ing School. There are two all-school activities, the assembly and the Junior Messenger. Typical of the spirit of the school assembly was the Thanksgiving program in which every grade had an active part. The Junior Messenger staff is composed of eighth grade pupils, with reports assigned to the other grades, who gather the contributions. Selections are made so that the paper will give an inter-esting account of the type of activities being carried on in the grades. Particularly noteworthy is the interest of the children and the great amount of the responsibility which they take in the planning and developing of the projects. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 23 ---------- Education MILLER, KIBBE, KEELER, KOLSTAD, SALISBURY Work of the Department of Education is focused sharply on needs of pros-pective teachers. While practical at every point, at the same time the attempt is made to develop concepts that will constitute a progressive philosophy of education. Students are expected to develop that attitude of mind in which they think through the situations presented to them and see their relation to the schoolroom needs. The work which the department covers may be classed under four heads. Educational Psychology includes instruction in elementary psychology, courses in the specific problems of childhood and of adolescence, and electives covering such material as the psychology of the subjects and applied psychology. History and principles of education covers the field of philosophy and the history of education both in America and of the world in general. Administration and measurements offer a wide variety of practical material dealing with school law, school manage-ment, educational measurements, and more specific school problems. Individual study may also be undertaken. In all courses the student is brought into contact with the most progressive educational ideas and the best authorities on educational subjects. The work is closely correlated with the work of the Training School with its practical illustrations. Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 24 ---------- English and Speech FOWLER, SPERRY, HUSSEY, EDENS, VAUGHAN, HOPPE, MADDEN The General Literature course is one of the new first-year requirements of the revised curriculum. The course continues throughout the year, with study of a different literary period each quarter. The divisions are the Ancient Period, with such works as the Bible, Homer and Greek mythology studied; the Middle Period, of which such authors as Goethe, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Moliere are represen-tative; and the Modern Period represented by Hugo, Emerson, Ibsen, Tolstoi, Whitman, and others. The general aim of the course is to familiarize the students with some of the dominant literary personalities and their productions of ancient times and the present day. Besides the methods courses, the department offers a wide range of electives covering the various types of literature: the drama, essay, short story, and the novel, as well as courses in poetry, such as Browning and Shakespeare, and con-temporary writers are given. Elementary and advanced news writing courses are open to students who have had suitable training in writing and who are especially interested in journalism. Practical work is done in connection with the Weekly Messenger and the Klipsun. Under the Division of Speech numerous courses are offered in vocal training and dramatic interpretation. While Fundamentals of Expression is the only requirement on this side of the department, interesting courses in advanced work including presentation of plays are given. Debate, one of the important student activities, is sponsored here. Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 25 ---------- Librarj WILSON, GEORGE, FUNKHOUSER, NELSON The Library is a growing one. Al-ready considered the finest profession-al library in the Northwest, it is con-stantly being increased by the addition of new volumes. These new books are discriminately chosen with a view of offering the students the best and most comprehensive material possible in all fields of literature. While books of educational history, philosophy and method predominate, it is the belief of the library administration that the ex-tensive background obtainable by wide reading in all the other branches is invaluable in the training of the pro-gressive teacher. A very complete reference library and periodical room are maintained and are at the disposal of the students. The Juvenile Library, conducted in connection with the Training School, is most valuable in the actual contact which the students have with a chil-dren's library under working condi-tions. The children find the Library a source of worthwhile interest and much reference work is done through it. IN THE JUVENILE LIBRARY Bureau of Research SALISBURY, KOLSTAD The Bureau of Research is organized as a service bureau to the school. A division by itself, it is endeavoring to aid all the departments. During the year the bureau has undertaken work that has served the administration, the faculty, and the students. Data was gathered and prepared for presentation to the state legislators, and a Teaching-Rate scale devised. While these were more directly administrative, the Intelligence and Achievement tests given under the direction of the bureau and the development of a grading system are closely related to faculty and student activity. Objective tests, necessary in an institution of this size, are being devised by the members of the faculty and a chart is being adopted by which the scores made in the tests can be related to ability so as to give an index of the quality of effort each student is expending. The Bureau is also endeavoring to assist the student by individual guidance. Intelligence and achievement tests were also given in the Training School and the results used with other data in deciding placement. A more elastic, and therefore more effective, grading scheme was devised. Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 26 ---------- THE ORCHESTRA MEN'S DOUBLE QUARTETTE WOMEN'S DOUBLE QUARTETTE Music SLAWSON, NEWDALL, BROMLEY, WILLIAMS, RAYMOND, GARDNER New activities have been introduced in the Music Department and effective changes have been made in the old activities. While the required sight-singing and methods courses have remained practically the same, a number of new electives have been added. Among these is the course in Music Appreciation which is not a class in schoolroom method, but a true college culture course. It is the plan of the department to alternate other elective courses such as Harmony and History of Music. The activities of the former Clef Club have been divided and three new types of organizations developed. The MacDowell Club, organized for the study of the life and works of composers; the Double Quartets, Men's and Women's; with the Mixed Chorus, and Women's Chorus are serving adequately in developing and expressing the musical interests of the school. The Orchestra is not only an asset to the school and community programs, but also is valuable for the excellent training it affords those participating. The Training School supervision is an integral part of the department's work. The student teachers are under the direct and careful guidance of the mem- bers of the department who also do a great deal of the actual teaching. The Train-ing School Orchestra offers valuable opportunities in musical training for its members. Twenty-sIx ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 27 ---------- Industrial Arts HECKMAN, GUNTHER, RINDAL, BISSELL The Industrial Arts department has undergone some reorganization during the past year to the extent that definite courses for the elementary grades, primary, intermediate, and rural, have been outlined, and an additional instructor put in charge of that work. Courses in elementary woodwork, cabinet work, advanced cabinet work, wood finishing, elementary mechanical drawing, advanced mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, and industrial arts methods are offered for those students who wish to teach in the upper grades and the high schools. The Industrial Arts courses are organized to meet the specific needs of those students who are preparing themselves to teach this subject, although many stu-dents in other department of the schocl selected one or more of these courses as electives. The department emphasizes a careful study of tools, operations, materials, and processes that are used in providing the daily needs of life. To this end typical units are worked out to give the student an appreciation of the materials and processes that are used in supplying man's needs for food, clothing and shel-ter. Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 28 ---------- Art and Handwork DRUSE, STUART, JOHNSTON, BREAKEY The development of appreciation and the training of the students to carry this over into the communities to which they go are the greatest objectives of the art courses. "This faculty of appreciation has a moral value. Appreciation of the beautiful depends on right thinking and good judgment. Appreciation of the good depends on the same things, and we usually find them together." There is no predetermined capacity of appreciation, it is subject to develop-ment. Neither is it to be acquired by long study of the old masterpieces only. "It is not necessary that one should study the paintings of the past nor the works of the moderns in order, to appreciate whether or not a thing is artistic. If it pleases the senses, if pleasure exists in looking upon it, it is a thing of beauty in the eyes of the beholder, whether it be the handiwork of a master or of a novice. I have seen three or four roses in a bowl that provided a thrill fully as appreciable as the museum canvas of a master." Four methods courses are given: primary, intermediate, upper grade, and rural. These courses correlate with Industrial Arts in that they link up with Ap-plied Design. Prerequisite to these courses is the course in Drawing and Design, Color Harmony, Dress Design, and Home Furnishings, courses are especially inter-esting to those in the Home Economics department. In advanced work are courses in Commercial Art, Advanced Watercolor, Charcoal, Crayon, and Appreciation. The department has the facilities to offer a course in Hand Weaving to a limited number each quarter. Very lovely work has been done. Many avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the fine Basketry courses. Twenty- eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 29 ---------- Foreign Language BEARDSLEY While recognizing and emphasizing as ever the cultural value of the study of Foreign Languages the general trend of the times is being followed in mapping out definite routes in the work in order to attain definite results. Prominent among the courses offered are those in Phonetics for the training of the muscles in voice placing and in acquiring an accurate pronunciation by observing fixed rules; the Phonograph for training the ear and the understanding and as an aid in acquiring the proper rhythm in perfecting pronunciation; a course in Verb Review for the purpose of systematizing and unifying the grammatical work previously taken. These are all tools necessary to train the ear, eye, and understanding of one who would really study a language. This work is followed by a Rapid Translation course for those who would sacrifice an appreciative study of the language to the ability and power to grasp quickly and easily the thought of foreign texts; by Literature Courses taken for their cultural value to give first-hand insight into the sources from which our most gifted writers have drawn their inspiration and ideals; and by courses in Compositicn and Conversation with some one of the tourist cities as a background. The Social Science Department WILLIAMS, BEVER, HUNT, ARNTZEN, LAWSON The Social Science Department is attempting to contribute to the best of its ability toward the goal of efficient teacher-training not only as a department, but each field within its scope believes it has some distinctive contribution to make to the cultural and professional life of the teacher. The field of history, under the guiding principles of continuity and development, gives an intelligent understand-ing of those human activities, decisions, and achievements which lie behind our present-day institutions and problems. The field of sociology throws a clear light upon the aim of education by pointing out that human nature is second nature socially acquired, and illuminates the methods of education by the study of the effects of social contacts. The study of political science seeks to develop in the student, and to enable him to impart, a sense of individual rights and responsibili-ties as a citizen and a realization of the significance of, and respect for, law as a means of social control. Geography makes its contribution by giving an under-standing of earth conditions and natural resources as a material basis of social de- velopment, by showing relationships which exist between natural environment and the distribution, characteristics, and activities of man. The distinctive contribution of economics to the school curriculum is the understanding it gives of the processes by which we get a living. Living together within a democracy will be furthered if the people contribute an intelligent part in the guidance of its processes. This is the purpose of the study in this particular field. At present the department's most distinctive offering is the nine-credit course in "Introduction to Contemporary Civilization." This course, in conjunction with those in other departments, is an attempt to give a philosophy of life by surveying man's achievements in the fields of thought and action from earliest time to the present moment. Its aim is to unify and humanize the facts of life that will give an intelligent understanding of present-day civilization and its urgent problems. Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 30 ---------- IN THE HYGIENE LABORATORY Science PHILIPPI SUNDQUIST, ROSENE, HEADRICK, HUGHES. MEAD The first year course in science, covering three quarters' work, has proved a valuable and interesting study. Though the course is still to some extent in the experimental stage it now covers carefully selected topics from all branches of science with appropriate experimental work. The purposes of the course are to develop an appreciation of the scientific attitude of mind, to establish an under- standing of the contributions science has made, and to develop a sympathetic atti-tude toward scientific investigation. Included in the Science Department are the courses in Hygiene and First Aid, Chemistry and Physics, Nature Study and Biology. Courses in Botany and Zoology are offered at the summer session at the Friday Harbor Biological Station, where a wealth of material is found. Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 31 ---------- TRAINING SCHOOL COOKING CLASS THE CAFETERIA LINE Home Economics LONGLEY, FOWLER "How much have you gained? Where can I get vitamin C? Have you finished your poster? It's time for my glass of milk. Have you counted your calories to-day? Are you still overweight?" Such are the remarks heard in the halls since nutrition is a required course. While the aim of the Home Economics department is to teach health from the standpoint of foods, and to serve good food through the cafeteria, it still gives courses in clothing and cookery which may be taken as electives in the second year of the grammar-grade course or as a major subject in the third and fourth years. Practice teaching is also done in the Training School under supervision. Thirty-one I ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 32 ---------- OFFICE PRACTICE PENMANSHIP TYPING Mathematics and Business Education BOND, LOVEGREN, RICE, GRAGG The Department of Mathematics and Business Education offers courses in teachers' arithmetic for intermediate and for grammer grades, junior high school mathematics, trigonometry, analytic geometry, college algebra, calculus, typewriting and penmanship. It is possible for a student to work out a minor in upper grade mathematics or in junior high school mathematics. The department is specially stressing the concrete situations that offer opportunity for quantitative interpreta- ion. A course in typewriting is offered for those that can elect it. Many teachers feel the advantage of ability to do typewriting and are taking this opportunity to acquire it. Courses in both Palmer and Rice penmanship are offered to meet the require-ment of a credit in penmanship. The aim of these courses is to develop a practical style of writing. Thirty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 33 ---------- Phusical Education (Men) ELWOOD C. DAVIS In all the courses offered the aim of the department is the furthering of exercise through play rather than through the use of apparatus. Each man is encouraged to enter the right sort of athletic activity at least once a day. To this end a wide variety of courses is offered: gymnastics, gymnastic terminology, ap-paratus, corrective gymnastics, organization and administration, swimming, tennis, football, track coaching, theoretical boxing and wrestling, a Scoutmaster's course, and school athletic activities. Physical Education (Women) SKALLEY, FRANK, WEYTHMAN Physical training, recreation, swimming and athletics are woven together in the work of this department. Every student in school is engaged in some form of physical education each quarter. Six quarters of this work is required of all students for graduation, the required courses being elementary physical education, elementary folk dancing, plays and games, swimming, school room gymnastics, and festival dancing. Other courses offered are advanced physical education and sport, sections in volley- ball, baseball, basketball, hockey, and track. Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 34 ---------- Classes Senior Group . President EDGAR HANNAH Vice-President MRS. DE YARMAN Secretary- Treasurer . MRS. DODGE The school records show that some students of advanced college rating have been enrolled in this school from time to time ever since it was established. In the earlier years all of these students entered with advanced rating from other accred-ited colleges and universities, the law already providing, as it still does, that after a one-year course in this Normal school such students may be certified to teach in this state. Up to the present time no one has earned a four-year diploma from this school who has done all of his college work in this school. However, two, Arnold Kaas and Edgar Hannah, are now completing the four-year course with all their credits earned here. The first advanced three-year course was authorized by law in 1909, and a four-year course was not provided for until 1920. While an occasoinal three-year diploma has been issued in years past, it has not been until 1923 that advanced students have been much in evidence in the institution. Since 1923, however, sixty three-year diplomas and thirteen four-year diplomas have been granted, and at the present time fifty-two advanced students are enrolled in the school. Three definite advanced curricula are now being offered, and new major courses will be added in the near future. The curricula now provided are those in administration, junior high school, primary, intermediate, and rural. The classes organized for these courses are being limited largely to students of the advanced group in order that standards of scholarship commensurate to the advanced rating of the students may be maintained. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Miller the college group has organized and elected officers. Several luncheons have been enjoyed during the year at Edens Hall at which business sessions were held and programs consisting of music and addresses, the latter delivered by President Fisher and Dr. Miller outlining - the development program of the school and its practical purposes, were given.

ROSE GRAY The Normal-by-the-Sea was founded twenty-seven years ago. Since that date there have been many classes worthy of note, but none will be longer remembered than the memorable Sophomore class of '25. We claim that we have nobly done our bit for our Alma Mater, not only in scholarship, but in dramatics, in athletics, in debate, in journalism, and in other student activities. It does not necessitate a very close examination to show that a great majority of the students in prominent posi-tions around B. S. N. S. came from the ranks of the Sophomore class. Always a spirit of emulation will be incited in future classes at the sight of a certain cement block in front of the Normal boldly inscribed "1925." "We may pass on, but our work will live after us." Enough of this. Among the numerous admirable traits of a sophomore there is one prominent and inherent virtue-modesty. One of the most successful events of the year occurred January 23 when the Sophomore class gave a party. As usual, it was for the Sophomore class, and, of course, the customary postscript was attached to the notice: "All the men of the school are invited." A very entertaining program was given by some of the talented members. The novelty feature of the evening was ari orchestra made up of a group of grotesquely dressed "Soph" "bums." Some of the melodious instruments featuring in the orchestra were combs, tin horns, a stringless ukulele, and an alarm clock. After the program dancing and games were enjoyed. There are innumerable memories which we shall always take with us: the Marathon, the Sophomore Sneak, Normalstad Day, hikes to Lost Lake, bonfires at the Rocks, swimming parties at Squalicum, evenings at Baughman's, and last but not least, our quarter of student-teaching with all its accompanying anxiety. All of this now lies behind us; but before us lies Home-Coming Week next year, and may it be a true reunion of the Sophomore class. At a meeting near the end of the winter quarter the class voted to have the same officers for the remainder of the term. We were sorry to lose seventy gradu-ating members in December. Because of this it was necessary to fill the vacancies of treasurer and Klipsun representative. February 16 a meeting was held at which the matter of commencement announce-ments was discussed. After the business meeting the class was entertained by read-ings and music was given by individual members of the class. Klipsun means "sunset." The Sophomores are nearing the sunset of their days at Normal, but "the world is waiting for the sunrise," and the graduates of-the class of '25 will go out to strive to meet the needs that arise with the new day.

Forthwith did they proceed to plunder the richly filled coffers of their gold and jewel knowledge, but still did bethink themselves of their cap-tives, and permitted them to carry off as much treasure as they could make away with. Then right merrily did the life in the castle of Bellingham Normal proceed. The lords and ladies did hold happy court, and each, regardless of his station in life, did partake of some form of mental labor and settle down to prepare to take new lands and castles and add to his already growing store of riches. Inasmuch as there need be good order and discipline, it was decided that there be a chosen few to lead the Freshman class. Thereupon did these knights and ladies elect Sir Donovan Matheny, Lady Evelyn Hagen, Lady Margaret Chambers and Sir Howard Wilder, and did also take for good counsel, the wise Sir Bond. At last came the day in the fall of the year of 1924, A. D., when heralds did proclaim the first of the series of tournaments to be held, wherein many of the gallant-hearted would strive for the honors to be won. From far and near came participants, and to these jousts did the Freshman class send a goodly number to compete for the honor of the Normal-by-the-Sea. Not only did the Freshman class send from among its ranks men of strength and skill to be victors on the football field, but also did they help to take honor and trophy in basketball, debate, track and baseball meets. Be it known that the fair ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves to the lists and yell right heartily for their knights; and the knights no matter what jousts did they take part in, did carry their school colors of Blue and White upon their sleeves, and in their hearts as well, with courage and fair play. All this while the knights and ladies of the class did work on and on right heartily and cheerfully, and hailed with pleasure the ball given by them on February 28, 1925. Came here the Freshmen in splendid dress and attire to par-ticipate in dancing, partake of sparkling punch, and enjoy much well-won pleasure. Decorations of green, and soft shaded tapers did lend artistic 'atmosphere to the surroundings and the ball did take place in the Edens Hall Castle, well known near and far. During the course of the eventful year did the Freshmen contribute much toward the musical and dramatic ability of the school. Freshman talent did much to support various productions. Be it also known, that the gentle ladies of the Freshman class did take themselves out into the field of glory unafeared and entered the W. A. A., where they did right heartily prove their valor. The Messenger and the Klipsun were managed and edited with the help of members of the first year conquerors. Be it known that the Freshman class did have representatives in every activity sponsored by the Castle of Bellingham Nor-mal and right merrily did they respond to every whit of work put upon them. Being right wealthy in sportsmanship, enthusiasm, spirit, and great possibili-ties, the lords and ladies of the Class of '26 did make an historical success of their first: year in the well-won stronghold of knowledge, and right heartily do they extend their sincere thanks to the other inhabitants of the Castle and to the most faithful and good-willed faculty that helped them to progress along the way of learning. The knights, lords and ladies of '26 accept the best wishes given them by the Class of '25 for success and happiness, and pass that same greeting and wish on to the class that will start its siege in a year to come.

Let pass before me this hour The traditions-magic painters of school customs Faithful guides of the Future. Today let me see them-see clearly, That I may always remember Bellingham with her traditions. Seventy-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 74 ---------- Traditions Long before the Normal stocd here on the hill, before the white man had come to greet the mighty Pacific, a tribe of Indians watched the sun sink in the west. "Klipsun," they said, as they pointed across the bay, "Klipsun" (the setting sun). In after years when the students of Bellingham Normal sought a name for their annual, they, too, watched the sun crimson the bay, and as "the western sun is the setting sun, is the sun of a hope fulfilled," they, whose hope of schooling had been accomplished, named their annual "Klipsun," the Indian word meaning sunset. The first numbers of the annual to be published were miniature Messengers published by the Sophomore class during the spring quarter. It was in 1912 that the Klipsun first appeared in book form. Since then it has grown in size to meet the ever increasing demands of a larger student body. SEHOME HILL AND INITIAL ROCK On the very summit of Sehome, under the benign guardianship of old Mount Baker, and within sight of an inspiring panorama of blue water, misty green islands, pearly Olympics, and jagged Canadian peaks dazzling in the sun, there emerges a large low rock which is covered with countless numbers of initials and dates. Some of these letters and figures are closely intertwined. Dates range from the 90's to those of yesterday. Some are crudely done, while others are drawn with the sure, carefulFy careless strokes of the artist; but all are artistic to the eye of the lover of B. S. N. S. tradition, for everyone records some thought or some heart throb of a student who climbed the old trail to the top of the hill and there gladdened his soul with the breath-taking vision before him. Perhaps per-plexities of student life dwindled into insignificance up there in the midst of Nature's glory; perhaps a lasting friendship took root, or a romance budded; anyway, it is safe to assume that the experience became a precious memory. We reach the top of Sehome by climbing up the steep wooded trail which begins at the very backdoors of the main building, or we follow the longer, more leisurely Huntoon Driveway and wend our way spiral fashion to the top, rewarded by new delights of foliage, flower, rocky wall, glimpse of sea, sky, cloud, or city, at every step. On Easter morning a large group of students ascends the hill to attend the traditional sunrise prayer meeting held by the Normal Y. W. C. A. SUNSET TRAIL Only a short block south of the campus, at the end of High Street, one comes upon a lovely wooded trail leading to Sunset Knoll, an open space on the heights between Sehome and South Bellingham, overlooking the bay. This, like Sehome Hill, is a favorite spot for picnics and for viewing the sunsets which help to make Bellingham Bay famous. VIKINGS Vikings is the name given to athletes and to all others who compete for the honor of our school. This is a new name for Bellingham teams, but it has already found its place in the hearts of the students. It is a traditional name which will grow more dear as the years roll on; for it is especially well chosen. We live on the western coast of one of the largest fiords in the world, and our teams go south to meet their rivals. We have the spirit of adventure, of daring and bravery, and the will and the ability to conquer. Seventy-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 75 ---------- KLINE CUP CONTEST The Kline-Cup contest started in 1904 when Mr. Kline, a Bellingham jeweler, offered a silver cup to the class whose girls' basketball team should win the championship of the school. At the time there were six groups competing: Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Junior advanced, and Senior advanced. There are no longer Junior and Senior advanced groups, but the contest is still held. The numerals of the winning class team are engraved on the cup. ARBOR DAY On Arbor Day we plant new shrubs and trees along Huntoon Drive up Sehome. Each organization within the school takes special care of those shrubs and trees for which it is directly responsible. VIKING VODVIL Each year in the spring quarter the students put on a vodvil. This consists of a number of the best "stunts" chosen from those offered by Independents and by the various clubs. This is called the Viking Vodvil. THE ALL- SCHOOL PICNIC In May comes the all-school picnic. It may be at Glacier, over on an island, up at Normalstad, or at any one of the many attractive spots near here. This picnic is noted for its large crowd, for the eats, and for the jolly fun. THE MARATHON Some time during the spring quarter the students and faculty put on hiking clothes and start for the top of Chuckanut Mountain. There they write their 'names and the time of their arrival at the top in a book provided for the occasion. At the end of the day the names are counted. The group, class or faculty having the largest per cent to reach the top is awarded a silver cup with engraved numerals. The Marathon was started in 1909 when the Bellingham Herald offered a silver cup to the man who could start from the Normal and run to the top of Chuckanut and back in the shortest time. ,As this was found too difficult an undertaking, the Marathon was changed in 1910 to class and faculty competition. Running is no longer required, but the hike varies in form from year to year. One year the students met at the Normal and went in a group. At times classes go together, and at one time the contest closed at sun-up. The Marathon is one of the big events of the school year. SNEAK DAY Sophomores take one day in the spring for pleasure only. Under cover of great secrecy, these wise students leave their books wherever they may be and set out for greener pastures, thus giving the faculty an opportunity to devote all of their time to the Freshmen. BURIED TREASURES On Class Day the Sophomores put the class roll, a list of their bfficers and faculty advisors, a Klipsun, and whatever else they may decide upon, in a tin box which they bury with much ceremony under the walk in front of the main building. The cement which has been cut out of the walk in order that the box may be placed under it is replaced with new, and the class numerals are cut. in the new cement. This is one of the oldest traditions of the Sophomores and is followed by every graduating class. Seventy-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 76 ---------- MOUNT BAKER HIKE During the summer there are a number of hikes under the direction of faculty members. These hikes are, besides being very interesting in themselves, preliminary to and preparatory for the big hike of the year-the Mount Baker hike. Mr. Coughlin started the tradition of a Mount Baker hike in 1919 and for several years was the faculty member in charge. Since the first year when a group of fifteen or twenty climbed Mount Baker, this hike has grown in size and popularity. Two faculty members, Mr. Kolstad and Mr. Bond, now take charge. Last year the group consisted of students, faculty members, and President Fisher. It numbered seventy-two in all, sixty-one making the ascent. It is customary for those going on this hike to take cars or to go on the special stages to Glacier the night before the climb, and from Glacier to take their packs and hike some distance into the park before spreading their blankets for the night. The Mt. Baker hike is the one event of the year when everyone is expected to dip freely into the paint can and paint his face. GREENWOOD THEATER One of our most novel and worthwhile traditions is the giving of a Shakes-pearean play in the Greenwood Theater. This is put on by the Drama Club in the late summer. For weeks before the opening of the play the characters may be seen and heard rehearsing their parts on the campus. About the time the students have become accustomed to this, a few benches and stage furnishings appear; then all is hidden behind high canvas walls, and only the pound, pound of the hammers can be heard as the bleachers go up in the outdoor theatre. When the seats are made and the lights are arranged, the theatre is complete. In a few more days the play is given. After two or three nights' showing, the canvas and seats are taken down and nothing remains of the Greenwood Theater except the green wood. In the past the Greenwood Theater has been erected on the northwest of the knoll in front of the main building. In a few years more it will find a permanent spot on Sehome Hill back of Edens Hall near the reservoir, where the topography makes an ideal location for a natural studium. TRADITION DECREES THAT: The Cheney game is the most important of the football season. Wear rah caps, carry blue and white banners, and cheer through blue and white mega-phones when you come to this game! There shall be a Y. W. C. A. reception on the first Friday of the school year. No one shall be permitted to wear letters from other schools after the first week of the quarter.

AF_ Seventy-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 79 ---------- HANNAH, LOREE, KATTERLEE, BOND, BOND, MARQUIS, HOLCOMB, GRAY, MARQUIS DAISY HOWARD Board of Control The Board of Control which held its first meeting during the summer session was com-posed cf Daisy Howard, president; Edgar Hannah, vice-president; Vivian Holcomb, Pauline Hutchinson and Warner Poyhonen, student representatives; and Miss Gragg and Mr. Marquis, faculty representatives. During the following two quarters, Constance Markuson and Guy Bond were elected stu-dent representatives to take the places of retiring members. The Board of Control has had .this year an opportunity of sponsoring many plans for general improvements along the line of student activities. New regula-tions have been made for the maintenance of the Students' Cooperative Bookstore. An Art Council and an Editorial Council were created for the purpose of co-operatinng with the editor of the Weekly Messenger. The Klipsun was placed upon a new basis. Two new honor societies, the Scholarship Society and the Leadership Society, were launched. A new policy was adopted for the ad- vancement of athletics, both women's and men's. Aside from the foregoing achievements, the Board has been active in provid-ing social good times for the student body at large. For example, a new summer social project was launched under the name of Campus Capers. This is to be an annual event and is in the nature of a carnival without the usual tolls being ex-tracted from the pockets of the students. It is an all-school affair in which all students and faculty members participate. Other memorable social affairs have been the all-school mixers at the Armory and the Christmas program and tree in the auditorium. For a week before the Christmas activities the halls were deco-rated with greens and bells, creating a festal atmosphere of the merrier season. Throughout the year the Board of Control has worked in entire harmony of deed and purpose "to do the best possible for the greatest number possible." Seventy-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 80 ---------- POYHONEN APPLETON The Weeklyj Messenger The Weekly Messenger, the school paper, not unlike other projects of a similar nature, is the result of a process of evolution. The first number was pub-lished in small magazine form in 1889, when this institution was known as What-com State Normal school. It was issued only once each quarter. In 1903 the size of the paper was increased and it appeared as a monthly publication until 1916. It was issued weekly then in a four-column eight-page form. The year 1923 stands out in the history of the Messenger for it was then that its present six-column, four-page form was adopted. During the past year, with the aid of the Editorial Council, many improve-ments have been made in make-up as well as in the quality of the copy. Eighty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 81 ---------- MENDENHALL HIBNER BLACK HIBNER GRAY LEAMING APPLETON Editorial Council of the Messenger Since its creation last November the Editorial Council of the Messenger has made its existence felt through the school paper. The first accomplishment of the Council was the formulation of a policy for the paper which was later adopted by the Board of Control. The policy of the Messenger is: (1) To bring students into closer relation with the affairs of the school (a) by affording an op-portunity for the expression of student ideas and (b) by presenting all of the school news; (2) To promote the best interest of the school at all times. The Editorial Council was organized during the fall of 1924 when, because of the rapid growth of the paper, the work necessitated the assistance of com-petent help in make-up and copy reading. To meet the needs it was decided that a body of four experienced people should be organized for that purpose. Those elected to the Editorial Council were Margaret McRobert, Catherine McGuire, Rose Gray and Bertha Hibner. Later during the year Milton Furness, Clare Mendenhall and Margaret Black were elected to fill vacancies on the Council. The Council has met weekly with the editor to discuss problems on the editorial side of the paper. Besides reading copy and helping with the make- up of the paper, the Editorial Council has put out the first issue of the Messenger each quarter till the new staff has been ready for work.

The Normal Book Store, owned by the student body and operated through its manager, Mr. Sam Ford, under supervision of the Board of Control, furnishes needed supplies to the faculty and students. It is the policy of the store to serve the students by ordering books for classroom work and by maintaining a supply of other articles for which there is constant demand in student life. The Co-Op is especially active at the first of each quarter, when new books are being purchased, or old ones are being exchanged. In addition to other services rendered, the store offers opportunity for distributing student mail. All funds, save a small amount kept for emergencies, are invested in new stocks and equipment, thereby enhancing the value of the store to the student body.

From the numerous men who applied for the position, Coach Davis was finally selected. It is evident now as the athletic season comes to a close that no mistake was made. Mr. Davis has worked hard to give to Bellingham Normal a most successful athletic year. He believes in hard, conscientious practice, and keen, clever play. He is a typical man's man and has gone far toward putting this school athletically on a college basis. STUDENT MANAGER This is the first year that a regular athletic manager has been appointed. There was no hesitation in determining who this should be. Coach Davis and the Board of Control felt fortunate in getting Loree to manage the year's sports. Loree not only attended to the many duties of manager, but made friends with all the players and kept them in good spirits with his contagious smile. Every game of each sport was handled in a businesslike manner throughout the entire year. ASSISTANT COACH Ralph J. Reed, who was assistant coach this year, has been a great help in all lines. Reed has attended Cheney Normal, Oberlin, Idaho, and the U. of W., where he has picked up many ideas which he put into good use in his work with the various teams. INTRAMURAL SPORTS The year 1924-25 marked the advent of intramural sports in Normal's ath-letic program. This plan is being used in the majority of the larger colleges and normal schools throughout the country with unprecenteded success in opening a field of athletic activity for every man in school. The intramural sports program this year included basketball, horseshoes, handball, boxing, track, swimming and tennis. No letterman is allowed to enter a sport in which he has made his letter, a fact which equalizes the competition in each sport, and encourages those of lesser athletic ability. During the intramural basketball season, nine teams competed, with the Philos finally winning the beautiful 14-inch loving cup presented by the men's athletic department. This spring over a hundred men are participating in tennis, handball, horse-shoes, track and swimming. The ten men who are most successful in these sports will have their names engraved on a loving cup presented for this purpose. Practically every man in school took up boxing, which was managed by Walt Kelley; in fact, so keen was the interest that the big event for the men during the winter quarter was a smokeless smoker. Swimming was managed by Guy Bond at the Y. M. C. A. tank, where novices were taught to swim and veterans were given live-saving work and taught advanced strokes. The intramural sports program got ninety per cent of the men into some form of spontaneous athletic activity during the year, offering a new plane of activity, resulting in stronger friendships, as well as personal gain through the development of a healthy body and mind.

N'nety-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 92 ---------- Football Season 1924 There are few minor colleges that have gone forth with a football program that is equal to that of the Blue and White squad this season. Coach Davis called the squad together two weeks before school opened. Twenty of the forty men who responded to this call were awarded sweaters at the close of the season. From the first turnout until the last game, practically every man stuck to the squad, which demonstrated the loyalty and spirit that nothing can whip. The schedule was made without discrimination, with the result that every game played was a real hazard to minor college championship. Two non-conference games with the U. of W. Frosh and the Super-Varsity were lost. However, the fans were given a real treat in seeing Tesreau with his educated toe perform for the Frosh, and Patton, the star half-back who was Washington's main defense in the Washington-California game, get a real work-out on Waldo field when we tangled with the Super-Varsity. Non-conference games with the O. A. C. Frosh, Pacific U., and the U. S. S. Mississippi were called off by representatives of those teams, with the result that the nine-game schedule which had been planned was shortened. Cooperation within the squad, real unified teamwork, unfaltering loyalty to the school and the coach, together with the unprecedented support of the student body and faculty, lifted the boys into that spirit which overcame all obstacles and se-cured them the minor college championship. One of the outstanding features of the team's work was the fact that the Super- Varsity was the only team that made more than one first down against the Vikings. Ellensburg and Cheney were unable to make a first down once during the entire game. In the first two games of the season Seattle College and St. Martin's gave so little opposition that in the Frosh game the men had hardly hit their stride. The result was that the Frosh beat a team that late in the season could have held them to a much closer score. The squad showed improvement until at the end of the season a brand of football was displayed that was finished in every respect.

Willamette A word of appreciation to each athlete who will-ingly put in hours of "the old grind" for the love of his alma mater. Your readiness to keep physically fit has not only resulted in a personal compensation but in honor which you have brought to this school. The added drive and vigor gained by those who trained has enabled them to bring a contribution in real manhood to our student body. Moreover, I esteem the spirit of the man "on the bench" who, knowing he may never earn his letter, gives himself unsparingly that the team may not falter. I appreciate the contribution of each and every man in making this year so pleasant and so full of hu-man interest that it cannot be forgotten. -Elwood C. Davis. Basket Ball Season The basketball season was unusually successful this year in spite of the fact that the original schedule, which included the University of Washington, the Uni-versity of Idaho, and other schools of similar caliber, was curtailed in an effort to economize. The three losses for the entire season were inconsequential considering the fact that the men had never played together before as a team. During the season they ran up a total of 571 points against their opponents' 364. in the seventeen games played. The boys were noted for their clean playing, proof of which is found in ;he fact that only once did a man go out on fouls during the season. They developed machine-like unity and smoothness of action which characterizes veteran teams. As we look back over the season we think of these boys as working hard and willingly, with that unceasing determination to uphold the invincible spirit of the Viking. They leave an enviable record. Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 94 ---------- ARTHUR DUKE-"Duke" When it came to aggressive guarding with ability to gain points, Duke was there with the goods. JOHN PAKUSICH- "Johnnie" Johnnie found himself when he changed to a forward position. His abil-ity and persistency won our admiration. JOSEPH ILES-"Joe" Around the basket Joe was a whiz. His long shots were the despair of op-ponents. DONOVAN MATHENY-"'Don" Steady persistency, so essential to his personal success and that of his team, was his motto, making Don a dependable man all the time. EDWARD WINGARD-"Eddie" Eddie's quick diagnosis of plays and his lightning action made him high-point man for the season. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 95 ---------- COLPHIE HECKEL-"Truck" Truck's aggressive playing and his superb floor work counted much toward the team's success. WARD PRIG-"Ward" His cleverness and speed was a mar-vel to the fair ones. A mid-season in-jury kept him from the hall of fame. HOWARD WILDER-"Dutch" A guard of sterling worth both on offense and defense. Dutch was our only letterman from last year. LESTER LEACH-Les" He appeared to be the slowest man on the team, when it was nothing more than his easy playing which gave such an impression. Les was our most ver-satile player, working with perfect harmony in any position. ALVIN HARTLEY-"Al" Being fat and fast made him a shifty guard. We expect great things of Al next year. Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 96 ---------- Baseball 1925 Few are the minor colleges that can boast of a baseball squad such as repre-sented the Vikings this year. It is to be regretted that a lack of funds limited our schedule. Starting off the season with a dozen practice tilts, the boys rapidly developed into a team of college caliber. The first scheduled game was with the University of Washington varsity, who defeated us 4-3. The next day Seattle College succumbed to our ability to hit "the old apple." The score was 9-4. Then came the University of Washington Frosh, who were forced to retreat with the small end of a 3-1 score. Other games are scheduled with Seattle College, Univerity of Washington Frosh, St. Martin's College and Cheney Normal. Staggs (captain) as catcher did much in keeping the team alert and "up in there." Frykman and Wingard are moundsmen worthy of professional recognition: The infield with Leach at first (1st), Kure at second (2nd), Davis, shortstop, and Graham at third (3rd), with Okerlund and Burtz as utility, is a combination of such snap and skill as to be very "bad medicine" for their opponents. In the outfield: Hyde (left fielder), Katterlee (center fielder), and Parrett (right fielder), with Neil, Matheny, Baxter, and Van Etton, eager supplements, "sunk" everything that came "out in the weeds." Ninety-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 97 ---------- 1925 TRACK SQUAD Track A remarkably keen interest has been shown in track this season. Some of the distance men started working out during the winter quarter. Each night during the season numerous athletes have been working out in the jumps, running events, and weights. The sixth annual relay carnival at the University of Washington held May 9 gave the relay team a chance to show its pace. In the medley event, Bellingham took second and forced the Frosh to a new track record of 6:38. On May 14, a dual meet was held with the U. of W. Frosh at Seattle. The track team went to Ellensburg to compete in the tri-Normal meet on May 23. NORMAL TRACK 1924 RELAY TEAM The Tri-Normal Track Meet, with the Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg Normals participating, was the main event of the track-season. Cheney Normal was the winner of the meet by the narrow margin of one point. Bellingham Nor-mal's relay team, consisting of Ward Prigg, Clyde Cole, Dewey Bowman and Ed Hannah, won for the school the permanent possession of the Relay Cup, by winning the half-mile relay for the second successive time. Ed Hannah, Bellingham's sprint man, with 111/4 points to his credit, was the individual high-point man of the meet, and was awarded a gold medal. Hannah set a Tri-Normal record of 10 seconds for the 100-yard dash and 22.2 seconds for the 220-yard dash: Prigg of Bellingham was a close second in both events. All Tri-Normal records, with the exception of the broad jump, discus and 440-yard dash, were bettered.

Another track event of the year was the Dual Meet between the Bellingham Normal and the University Frosh. This meet was taken by the Frosh by a large score, though the Normal squad did take a considerable number of points. RELAY TEAM-1924 BOWMAN, PRIGG, HANNAH, COLE Ninety-eight Time 10 sec. 22.2 56 2:06 4:49 26.1 18.3 37.75 105.10 149.8 16:61/2 5:78/4 ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 99 ---------- HANNAH, STATE MINOR COLLEGE CHAMPION; LOVEGREN, FITZGERALD, LOOMIS, LEACH, GRANGER, BROADBENT Tennis Tennis is a popular spring and summer sport at the Normal. From the early hours of the day to sunset the courts are filled with students enjoying themselves at the royal game. Improvements in the courts, fences and nets, made last fall, are making it pleasant for those who wish to enjoy a pleasant recreation from studies. The winners in the annual tournament last summer were as follows: Men's Singles: Edgar Hannah. Ed played in the finals against Gordon Broadbent and won by taking two straight sets. Men's Doubles: Al Hannah and Ed Hannah. They played in the finals against George Burlingame and Howard Nessen, and won in three straight sets. Women's Singles: Ruth Gill. Ruth played the finals against Frances Wel-lington. Women's Doubles: Ruth Gill and Doris Turner. They played the finals against Mrs. Ed Hannah and Mrs. George Burlingame. Mixed Doubles: Ruth Gill and Warren Granger. They played the finals with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hannah and won two out of three sets. In the men's singles, the ladder system was used. The first ten on the list at the end -of the tournament were: 1, Ed Hannah; 2, Gordon Broadbent; 3, Al Hannah; 4, George Burlingame; 5, Don Tunstall; 6, Howard Nessen; 7, Harry Appleton; 8, Warren Granger; 9, Gail Hinthorne; 10, Ernest Keplinger. Tennis has been made a major sport in this institution and it is expected that inter-collegiate competition in tennis is going to arouse even greater interest in the sport.

One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 104 ---------- Basketball With the beginning of the winter quarter the girls began turning out for basketball. Miss Frank coached the Sophomores and for the month of January Mrs. Foster coached the Freshmen. An average of thirty-five Sophomores and forty Freshmen turned out for practice every Monday and Wednesday at four in the two gyms. By the end of January we had really begun to play basketball and a lot of good material in both classes was discovered. Miss Skalley came the first week of February and took over the Frosh. Finally the first squads from which were to be a selected the class teams, were chosen. These class teams are selected to compete for the Kline Cup. The Kline Cup games are a series of three games played by the Sophs and Frosh teams each year. The class having the greatest number of points at the erid of the series is allowed to have the class numerals engraved on the cup. This year competition was keen, as the Frosh were reported to have a strong team and the Sophs were eager to try them out. The first game of the series was played on Monday, February 23. Excitement was high, and the girls played a hard-fought game with the final score standing 17-14 in favor of the Sophs. Miss Weythman refereed. The second game was even more exciting than the first. Of course, the Frosh were ready for revenge. They played an excellent game and at the end of the first half the score stood 10-4 in their favor. The Sophs were not to be downed, however, and rallied their forces. Gradually the score became more even and for a few minutes seesawed back and forth-first the Frosh in the lead, then the Sophs ahead. When the final whistle stopped play, the score was 19-19. This game, played March 2, proved to be the best game of the series. Miss Skally was the referee. The third game was, however, the most important one. With such a slight lead as three points the Sophs were on their mettle. The Frosh being equally determined to win put up a strong fight the first quarter, but the Sophs outplayed them and won the series by a score of 24-15, or a lead of 12 points. This game was played on Monday, March 9, with Miss Frank as referee. So the basketball season ended with the Sophomores in possession of the Kline Cup. Life Saving In the fall quarter of 1924, a Life-Saving course was included in the advanced swimming classes. Having passed the Beginners' and the Swimmers' tests, the next thing is to become a Life-Saver. The senior Life-Saving test is taken by all members over 17 years of age. Its requirements are: 1. In deep water, disrobe and swim 100 yards. 2. Surface dive, recovering objects three times and a 10-pound weight once. 3. Front, rear and under-water approaches each with proper turn and carry. 4. Head carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60-foot swim, proper approach and turn. 5. Cross-chest carry, 60 feet preceded by 60-foot swim, proper approach and turn. 6. Arm-lock or hair carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60- foot swim, proper ap-proach and turn. 7. Tired swimmer's carry, 60 feet, preceded by 60-foot swim. 8. Front strangle hold, four times, two different positions. 9. Back strangle hold, four times, two different positions. 10. Double grip on one wrist, four times, using alternate wrist. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 105 ---------- 11. Two people locked in front strangle, and repeat, rescuing alternate sub-jects. 12.

For those who are just learning to swim there is the Beginner's Test, and later when one is more accomplished there is the Swimmers' test. The Beginners' test consists of 1. A swim of 50 feet using any kind of stroke. The award is a Red Cross Beginners' Button. The Swimmers' test is 1. Swim 100 yards using two or more kinds of strokes. 2. Swim 50 feet, using back-stroke. 3. Perform straight front dive in good form. 4. Recover object in 6 to 8 feet of water by means of surface dive. Award: Red Cross Swimmers' Button. All girls are expected to pass the Beginners' test, and a great many pass the Swimmers' test also. The following have passed the Swimmers' Test: Thelma Wyatt, Hazel Lind-berg, Frances Herron, Alva Kraus, Eliza Hopf, Charlotte McNaughton, Alice Bar-ber, Benicia Genther, Adele Olson. One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 106 ---------- SUNSET FROM INSPIRATION POINT Recreation We play as well as we work. Although many poor souls have been illusioned into thinking that play is the major function of the school, the last vestige of such an hallucination has been ob-literated by the effective pruning and probationing of the scholarship com-mittee. Ask any one of the unfortu-nates. To most of us play comes with our work, but many of us do not realize it; therefore the purpose of this department is to bring back to all the memories that have arisen from the events in our social group during the past altogether too short year. The writer admits his inability to do this task full and complete justice, but he hopes that his humble efforts will in part serve to recall many pleasing memories. Recreation is provided for in many ways. We are situated in a region of wcnder, but even in the school itself we have the weekly Fri-day afternoon recreation hour; we have receptions, teas, formals, and student programs. We have our annual out-ings for the whole school: the Chucka-nut Marathon, Normalstad Picnic, Sneaks, and the Austin Pass, Hanne-gan Pass, Mount Baker, and Mount One Hundred Six Constitution hikes. How fortunate we are in being located so close to the haunts of nature! Our Campus Ca-pers and our Faculty Fun add much to the zest and zeal of Normal life. This fall when we returned to the big school house on the hill we met many strange faces. We had a mad hunt for rooms and boarding places. The strain of the registration jam left many maimed in disposition and in body. One boy actually fainted into a girl's arms. The fatalist would say everything happens for some reason, whether for better or worse. (In this case it was for the worse; the girl dropped him.) After going to every show in town and wishing in vain for the Home-Coming Normal- School dance we started on our studies for want of anything else to do. We needed some-thing to blow off steam on so we had our chance at the first All-Student mixer under the auspices of the Wom-an's League. RECREATION HOUR Every Friday "rec" marks the close of a strenuous week. In summer we have a recreation hour in the open for the fresh air enthusiasts and the week- ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 107 ---------- ly dance in the large gym for those who desire it. Open air recreation is so popular in summer that about four games of indoor baseball-in-the-open are played at one time. Barnyard golf and volleyball rank along with- the game of tennis and competition in the former is just as keen as in the latter. OCTOBER 3-ALL-STUDENT MIXER The men, women, and faculty of the school were invited to attend this func- tion. The school turned out en masse. One girl in her haste pinned her name on upside down. Followed a wild scramble on the part of the young men to read it. Pandemonium reigned and the Dean had to referee. The only other battle was the downhill struggle Mr. Marquis had with the cookies and tea. At five o'clock we all wiped our chins and the grand exodus ensued. OCTOBER 10-THE FIRST REC- REATION HOUR Don Marquis' shrieking clarinet was ably assisted by Chauncey Griffith on the piano, while Charles Rothweiler and Art boomed out with the saxo-phone and traps respectively. Every-one who could dance, danced, and those who could not, learned how. This event proved to be popular from the beginning, and its fame spread. The whole town was soon enjoying it. The "rec" is here to stay and the only re-gret that we have is that it lasts one short hour. It is a fitting close for the week. OCTOBER 10-THE Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION Annually the Y. W. C. A. of this school gives a reception to the entire school, both students and faculty. Un-der the able guidance of Frances Wen-niston the reception last fall was a great success. It served as a means of making many new acquaintances through the games and entertainment provided. Why have we such pleasant memories of these receptions? Be-cause we always come away pleased with the fact that we have attended a "formal reception" and found to our joy that it was delightfully informal. OCTOBER 17-FIRST ARMORY DANCE The seventeenth of October brought us the first associated student mixer to which all the members of the institu-tion were invited. The armory was beautifully decorated with colored streamers, and the orchestra was all we could wish for. And wish we did, for it seemed ages before we, could get past the formalities of a.receiving line and a grand march. When we finally did get a chance to dance we thronged the floor until "Home, Sweet Home" brought to an abrupt close a delightful evening that had been bare-ly begun. We expect to have more of these mixers. OCTOBER 25 - WOMEN'S LEAGUE KID PARTY The Kid Party is going to be long remembered by those who went, be-cause of the fun they had, and also by those who didn't, because of the fun they missed. It was a hilarious scene of romping youngsters. Even Huckle-berry Finn was there with a fishin' pole and a stubbed toe. Miss Jones was there, too, but you never would have recognizer her in her short green paper dress and long curls. The chil-dren enjoyed themselves thoroughly from playing and dancing to cider and doughnuts. The prize fox-trot was won by Teddie Wilson and Marcella Lustermann-the prize was a bag of popcorn which was enjoyed by all. DECEMBER 19-CHRISTMAS PROGRAM During the last week of the fall quarter the halls were decorated in Yuletide colors. On Tuesday evening a Christmas program was given. All the clubs gave something very sugges-tive to Chrismas. Do you remember Mr. Newdall with his drum? Mr. Kibbe with his Sparky? Bennie Mitchell with his pup? Mr. Marquis with his horn? One Hundred Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 108 ---------- JANUARY 10-Y. W. ALL SCHOOL PARTY Hard times were in evidence in the big gym. A delightful party was giv-en by the Y. W. C. A. for the whole school. Everyone turned out in his humblest fashion; even Mr. Kibbe was there with a precarious lone suspender. The offenders that wore a tie or an ar-ticle of silk were fined. The treasury did not prosper and when everybody went home you may be sure that these poor souls didn't leave anything in the line of refreshments. JANUARY 24-EXCURSION TO BRITISH COLUMBIA On Saturday afternoon an enthusi-astic group of supporters left for Vancouver to see the basketball game between Bellingham Normal and the University of British Columbia. The team was victorious. The Canadians saw that we had a good time. They gave us three games, a dance, and a feed. During the afternoon we were shown about the city. The next trip is looked forward to. JANUARY 30-PEP RALLY A rousing pep rally took place the night before the Cheney game. The cheer leaders led the march and the party broke up with a peppy yell and a "Let's Beat Cheney." We blew off so much steam that we lost the game. FEBRUARY 14-VALENTINE'S DAY Hearts were in evidence on Saint Valentine's Day, from the ace of hearts to the most gorgeous Valentine. The box on the landing was packed and surrounded by fluttering hearts. Those who didn't get their expected hearts were furnished a crying room. The most severe cases of the day were Chuck Weedin, Warner Poyhonen, Mil- dred Jennings and Mr. Hunt. They parted with their hearts, and didn't get any in return. FEBRUARY 28- FROSH PARTY The Ambassador orchestra of Taco-ma furnished the music for the Frosh Saint Patrick's dance which was held in the dining room at Edens Hall. The One Hundred Eight decoration scheme was well carried out and the committee that planned the dance saw that everyone was comfort- able and the floor not too crowded. This was the supreme social success of the Freshman Class of 1925. MARCH 14-EDENS HALL SAINT PATRICK'S DANCE On Saturday night a delightful dance in honor of Ireland's patron saint was given. The cosmopolitan crowd ral-lied around the green in such a fashion that Jensen was McElhiney. The fa-vors happened to be the green-eyed snakes that Saint Patrick banished and the crowd was quick to note the anachronism. Finally all ate their snakes and Ireland was saved again. History repeats itself. Erin go Brah! SATURDAY, JULY 19-ARMORY SAILORS' DANCE The Armory dance for the sailors caused the fluttering of many a heart at the Normal-by-the-Sea. The gobs came en masse, took the town by storm, left the boys on the fence, and showed our girls a grand time. To entertain the sailors a large dance was given for the edification of the girls and the mor-tification of the boys. A most wonder-ful time was had (at least so the girls say) and sometime when the boats come again the sailors will again be the guests. AUGUST 15-CAMPUS CAPERS The carnival that was staged" on the Normal Campus last summer was the greatest spectacle and at the same time the most hilarious, joyous open air event on the calendar. Side shows, booths, and dancing featured this mid-summer frolic. The Gypsy fortune tellers revealed the future of the students and the fac-ulty. Past masters in the art of "bark-ing" tempted us into the various booths and side shows to view the "sells." But what did we care? We went out only to come in again and repeat the thrill. It was hard to tell which was most popular: the fantastically clad Gypsy fortune tellers, who told us all sorts of delightfully impossible things; the Sagebrush booth where everyone was ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 109 ---------- given an aromatic sagebrush buttoniere tied with a silver ribbon and then was beguiled in to see the "wildest animal that ever grew in the sagebrush coun-try; or "Hell's Hole," from which arose the shrieks of the damned and where one received a real thrill from shaking ghostly hands. The fact is there was a long waiting line before each of these places all evening. RECREATION IN THE OPEN NORMALSTAD Normalstad, an eighty-acre tract of land lying along the south side of Lake Whatcom, is the property of the Stu-dent Body of Bellingham Normal, hav-ing been bought witb Association funds. This beautiful playground with limit-less possibilities derives its name from a combination of Normal and Kolstad, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, a member of the Normal faculty, having been instru-mental in securing the property for the school. THE ANNUAL PICNIC One school day during the spring quarter is set aside for the regular Nor-malstad picnic. We go by street car to Silver Beach and take a lake steamer for the journey up the lake, landing at our own dock built two years ago with Association funds. Or, if not enough boats are available for the entire crowd, and we like better to walk than wait for the boat's return, we leave the street car at Whatcom Falls Park and hike out the three and a half miles to our desti-nation, or perhaps we go by auto. The remainder of the forenoon is spent clearing ground, for Normalstad is only partially developed, and the aft-ernoon is given over to sports of various sorts, the most exciting of which are the tree-climbing contests for both men and women, and the boat races. It might be mentioned that a box of candy is se-curely tied to the top of the saplings and that the first one up gets the candy. The boat races comprise singles, dou-bles, and mixed, if such terms may be used off the tennis court: races in row-boats, and races in Indian canoes and Eskimo kyaks. The cove around the bend gives us a beautiful natural re-gatta course which predicts strong in-tercollegiate crew competition in the not far- distant future. The rugged grandeur of the wooded slopes surrounding and enveloping the blue lake is appealing to all lovers of the out-of-doors. One can see on every side the beauty of the season and the glorious achievements that cap the handiwork of nature. The woodman's axe has not demolished the surround-ing forests, and comparing Normalstad with any other part of the Northwest it is safe to say that Normalstad is unex-celled in natural beauty. A small space has been cleared near the water of the lake and this is the site for the long-hoped- for lodge at Normalstad. Can we wish for a better place? PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT Plans for the development of Nor-malstad include the building of a $9000 rustic lodge. This lodge will have three floors, including boat house, bowling alley, kitchen, caretaker's quarters, fire-place, locker-rooms, and a large living rocm, 72x48, with an oak floor. With ample space for indoor recreation to suit the most aristocratic, and ample space for outdoor games to suit the most plebian barnyard golf fan, what more can be asked? Mounfaineering at Normal The outdoor recreation program in-cludes many hiking and climbing trips the year around, but the grand climax to this side of recreational life comes during the summer quarter; however, in May of each year we have the CHUCKANUT MARATHON when the entire student body partici-pates in a Marathon up Mount Chuck- anut, with picnic lunch near the top. Students and faculty go in bevies, in groups, or singly. To the class which has the largest per cent of signatures during the day in the register-kept for that purpose at the top of the mountain, is awarded possession of the Herald silver cup until such time as the Mara-thon is held the ensuing year. The Chuckanut Marathon many years ago passed into a tradition which is cher- ished by the entire school. One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 110 ---------- MOUNT CONSTITUTION A favorite goal for picnicking excur-sionists is Mount Constitution on Orcas Island of the San Juan group. Some thirty miles distant by water, it affords an unexcelled opportunity for a com-bination of boat trip, a week-end of camping, fishing and clamdigging, to-gether with a climbing expedition. The party may camp near the beach at Olga or East Sound and make the as-cent from there, or they may have their headquarters at one of the lakes which abound with fresh water fish. The climb itself is simply a pleasant six-and- a-half-mile walk over a good road of gradual ascent to the rounded dome from which vantage point of five hun-dred feet elevation one has a superb view of the surrounding islands, towns, and the peaks and ranges of the Cas-cades, the Olympics, and the Canadian Coast range. The climber finds his way bordered with wild flowers. If the month is May, June, or July, he is walled in by tall hedge-like thickets of pungent wild roses; the pink-belled twin-flower car- pets his path, while lupine, larkspur and blue violets lend their note of deep blue to that of the sky and the water. One Hundred Ten If the party prefer, the entire round trip and the climb may be made in one day, in which case one of the never-to-be- forgotten scenes of the return voy-age is the sunset on the water and the islands as the boat glides homeward. MOUNT BAKER PREPARATORY For the culmination of the hikers' and climbers' paradisaic season, the ascent of Mount Baker, a long and interesting series of hikes and climbs is undertak-en. It includes semi-weekly hikes of from three to ten or twelve miles each, the shorter ones taking place from 3 to 8 p. m. on a school day, and the longer ones on Saturday. In addition there are tri-weekly individual climbs up Sehome Hill. Many places of beauty are visited on the preliminaries: Lake Padden, Whatcom Falls Park, Normalstad, Toad Lake, Lake Louise, State Park, Natural Dry Dock, Lost Lake and others. Next in order after these local places come the. two preliminary mountain trips, the first of which is known as the Austin Pass Trip SKYLINE RIDGE We take auto stages to Glacier where we make our headquarters, camping on the banks of the Nooksack river. Three climbs may be taken from this base. ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 111 ---------- That to Skyline Ridge is perhaps the most interesting. The climb is preced-ed by a three-mile auto ride or a walk of that distance to reach the trail. The climb itself is five miles in length over a beautiful woods trail delightfully shady until the meadows are reached. All the ordinary varieties of wild flow-ers common to this locality are found along this trail. The party that made the trip last summer passed through two or three miles of path bordered with the thick, glossy mat of the pink-belled twin-flower vine. At the meadows one finds the real mountain flowers of all colors and kinds, some of them peeping through melting snow banks. When one has made the last steep ascent and arrives at the top, he is more than repaid for his pains by the breath-taking vision of surrounding snow peaks. They entirely surround the Ridge, and most of them seem of approximately the same eleva-tion. But there to the north is rugged Shuksan, grand old man of all the mountains, and to the east, seemingly only a few rods, but in reality several miles distant, looms our own Baker, gor-geous in the sunshine. No matter how many wonderful mountain scenes one may see later, he never forgets his first sight of the panorama from Skyline Ridge. CHURCH MOUNTAIN To approach Church Mountain, the would-be climber gets a preliminary thrill by crossing the foaming current of the Nooksack river in a self-pro-pelled basket attached to a cable. After a short walk he strikes the trail and makes the stiff five-mile climb up to, and over, the bare face of the rock to the very top of the mountain where he is rewarded by the same marvelous mountain scenery wh i ch prevails throughout the Mount Baker district. AUSTIN PASS Only think of being able to snowball and to slide in the snow on a hot Fourth of July! That is what the Normal crowd did last summer at Austin Pass meadows. True, there was not very much snow, but there was enough to cool parched faces and throats, and to furnish some hilariously good fun. Not that the eight-mile hike to the pass was not also enjoyable, for it was. It was easy, too. At least four miles of it lay along a good roadbed, and after we left the road we traversed an interest-ing path through the woods until we came to the meadows. But it was hot! And that snow and the tiny silver threads of waterfalls, and the little, sluggish, flower-filled brook trickling out of the snowbanks looked most in-viting. There were lovely pools, too, lying clear and warm in the sun, With the softest water in them one could im-agine. That is why some of us were glad to take off our hiking boots and wade. We had had occasional glimpses of mountain scenery along this path, and found more when we reached the meadows. Also, we had our first sight of mountain heather, three varieties of it, with its beautiful white, reddish pink, or cream bells. And while we rested, or explored, Mr. Kolstad made the fin-est coffee to go with our lunch of sand-wiches and fruit. We shall all want to go again this summer and see the changes wrought by the new automobile road and by the hostelry which has been built. HANNEGAN PASS (By a Student Who Was There) No one who can afford the time and money for such a trip as that to Han-negan Pass should miss going at some time. It was an adventure from be-ginning to end, filled with glorious scenery and many surprising thrills. We left the Normal at five-thirty Friday afternoon, July 25th. A few went earlier in their own cars. The rest of us, about twenty-five in number, were packed into a huge gray stage. Our blankets and baggage were thrown on top, and after we left town four of us girls climbed on top also. The scen-ery was typical of the mountainous country we were approaching. Mount Baker and many smaller mountains were in view along the way. About half way to Glacier we changed cars. There was one smaller stage and a large touring car. I found myself in the stage and rode the re-mainder of the way with my feet dang-ling over the side on the baggage. It One Hundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 112 ---------- was a merry crowd with many songs and jokes. Everybody was having a. good time. We passed through Glacier and went on a short distance beyond Shuksan until we came to where the trail to Hannegan Pass begins. Everything was unloaded and Mr. Kolstad decided to spend the night near the road instead of hiking in three-quarters of a mile to Swamp creek, where Mr. Bond and those who had gone up earlier had cartped. We all unrolled our blankets and made ready for the night, when suddenly the word was passed around that we would go on in to Swamp creek after all. Somehow we managed to get our belongings together again and the packers loaded them onto the pack horses. Then Mr. Kolstad led the caravan with a lighted candle and we made our way slowly through the dark forest We got to Swamp creek eventually and Mr. Bond had a roaring fire with coffee and sandwiches ready for the travelers. When our hunger had been satisfied we unrolled our blankets for the second time and made ready for the night. Mr. Bond put himself out, as he always does, to be everyone's special guardian on the entire trip. He found my part-ner and me the softest, mossiest place possible and helped us make our beds, after which he did the same for each of the others. I slept straight through the night without waking once, probably due to the fact that I brought a pillow with me. The others were all wakened dur- ing the night by the screams of a near-by cougar, which evidently did not ap-prove of his forest being invaded by such a host of human beings. I wish I could have heard it, just for curios-ity's sake, but I might not have slept well afterward. We were up as soon as daylight came. Bacon and eggs, coffee and bread and butter were served for breakfast. By five we were on the trail. We walked mile after mile, gradually npward. The trail led us along the sides of a canyon, through which Ruth creek tumbled and roared. The day was remarkably clear. Every peak stood clearly outlined against the sky. We averaged about two miles an hour, reaching Hannegan One Hundred Twelve Pass in five hours. About half way to the Pass we spied a large cinnamon bear across the canyon. We yelled and shouted and he lumbered clumsily toward us, but soon disappeared in the woods. The last three-quarters of a mile the trail rises nearly a thousand feet, making a good stiff climb. The Pass itself is five thousand feet above sea level. Because of the mild winter last year, the snow in the Pass was gone. We found a good place for a camp a little distance farther where there was water, and built a roaring camp fire, preparatory to cooking din-ner as soon as the pack horses came up with the supplies. Anything tastes good when one has hiked ten miles, and we hungrily gobbled down the macaroni and cheese provided for our noonday repast (which would have been good enough at any time). As soon as dinner was over, Messrs. Bond, Brown, Katterman, Elder and a number of others went fishing down the Nooksack river. Austin Bond as leader took a group of us up on Goat Moun-tain. Often we were forced to crawl up the steep heather- covered hillsides on our hands and knees. Here and there we crossed patches of snow from which trickled little streams of water. We drank thirstily at nearly every one. At last we were on the highest knoll. Rising high above the far side of the Pass was Ruth Mountain, and behind it loomed up old Shuksan, the most peril-ous of all the peaks. It is known to have been climbed only four times in all its history. To the south we got a magnificent view of Mount Baker and to the north Copper Mountain and the Saddle. A long high ridge connects Goat Mountain with Copper Mountain and ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 113 ---------- we carefully selected the safest-looking route down to the Ridge. The last half of the way we took sliding down a snowslide. There were only eight of us game for the longer hike. We trav-eled several miles along the top of the Ridge and then climbed Copper Moun-tain. An even more wonderful view could be seen from there. Not only all the former peaks were visible but others to the west, and the Canadian peaks to the north. Everywhere on the mountains are mountain-goat trails, and we were con-stantly on the lookout for some of the wary creatures themselves. At last our search was rewarded. Just as we reached the top of one of the highest knolls on Copper Mountain we saw two goats on a snowbank across the canyon. One of the fellows slipped around to try to get a picture. While he was on his way the mother goat and her little kid lay down under a snow-bank. Consequently the man who was going to take the snapshot frightened them before he discovered they were hidden. They jumped up without warn-ing and rushed headlong down the three-thousand-foot wall of the canyon. Without a break in speed they reached the bottom unhurt and ran on out of sight. As the wind was blowing from them to us, we had a good view of them for thirty-five minutes before they took fright. We returned to camp by the same route until we came to about the mid-dle of the Ridge when we struck off to the left down an old torrent bed. We followed this down and down, slipping, sliding, and bruising ourselves until it seemed that we would never reach the bottom, when all of a sudden we came out on the forest rangers' trail about three miles below camp. We had hard-ly started up the trail when the-fishers, homeward bound, caught up with us. One peep at their basket of Dolly Var-dens and we knew what our breakfast the next morning would consist of. We were all about ready to drop in our tracks by the time we got to camp, or I should say, a good while before we reached it. However, a blazing fire and an appetizing meal of potatoes, ham, beans and coffee somewhat re-vived our spirits. Stories of the day's adventures and adventures of former times were ex-changed around the fire before we sought our beds to try to get a little sleep and rest in preparation for the next day's climb. Morning broke cold and foggy without a mountain in sight, It was a rather glocmy outlook for a climb up a most dangerous peak. Al-though most of us were eager to go, still we seemed unconsciously to put off the time for starting as long as possi-ble. Breakfast actually lasted two and a half hours. Flapjacks, fried trout, and bacon were on the menu. With a large crowd a delay of this sort could be avoided by dividing the party into two and cooking over separate fires with a double outfit. Even oldtimers have something to learn or re-learn on every trip. At last we started up Ruth, or the mountain which must be crossed before reaching Ruth proper. We took a cir-cuitous route to the left instead of going up over the heather and over the knob. Once we had a splendid slide of snow, but were so wet and uncomfortable as a result that we did not try the experi-ment again. We began to climb Ruth Mountain, and ten of the group who were making better time went clear to the top. The rest of us went about two-thirds of the way and got a good look into a deep blue-green crevasse. A hailstorm alternating with rain began One Hundred Thrteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 114 ---------- and for fear that we would not reach camp in time to start home at two o'clock, we turned back. Those who reached the top had a most unusual ex-perience. Due to the coming of an electric storm a great deal of static elec-tricity was gathered at the top of the mountain. This caused a queer sensa-tion of an electric shock. It made their hair stand on end and gave them shocks when they touched each other. Afraid of more severe manifestations, they made haste to get away from the phe-nomenon. In the mountains we saw every de-scription of wild flowers, such as dais-ies, many varieties of heather, true Sol-omon's seal, heliotrope, tiger lilies, snapdragons, bleeding hearts, colum-bines, and a host of others. Wild ani-mals are scarce, or rather hard to dis-cover. Altogether we saw four bears, two mountain goats, grouse, quail, mice, whistling marmots, eagles, and a few other birds. The forests are very still, emphasizing the scarcity of song birds. As I mentioned before, we also heard cougars, but failed to see any. We who returned to camp earliest ate d:nner and started on the trail for Swamp creek and home, at about two-thirty. We reached the highway in sev-eral hours, without adventure, but very weary. The pack horses and the rest of the party soon appeared and we began to sort out our belongings. Then some-thing which might have been a serious disaster was discovered. Austin Bond was missing. He had not come into camp after descending Ruth Mountain. There were many conjectures as to what could have happened. Those who had been with him last said that they had left him on the heather within calling distance of the camp. Messrs. Bond and Burlingame hastened back over the trail, leaving orders for pack horses to follow. There was nothing for the rest of us to do except to go home and hope for the best. There was little hilarity on the way, as might be expected. The roads were exceedingly slippery and we drove very slowly for fear of acci-dent. The next morning there were many thankful hearts when we heard the glad news that the lost had been found. He One Hundred Fourteen was coming along about six miles back on the trail, so tired that he could scarcely navigate, but otherwise unhurt. It appeared that he had gone too far to the left thinking his brother, Elden, had gone that way, and had come down into Ruth creek canyon some distance below the camp. In order to get out he had to retrace his steps up the treacherous climb and by the time he had gained camp everyone had left. When he finally reached camp, no one was there to welcome him save a black bear which was diligently cleaning up the scraps, all his forty-seven compan-ions thinking he had gone on ahead. He started on the downward trail, but after such a rough and tiring time he did not make very good speed. They loaded him on a pack-horse, reaching the road at ten-thirty and Bellingham at one o'clock. This was the happy ending to the most glorious camping-out party I ever experienced. I understand now why those who go into the wilds once are called back year after year to enjoy again their first thrills.--DOROTHY BETH FAY. MOUNT BAKER LODGE Plans for the erection of a cabin on Heliotrope Ridge, the base for the Mount Baker climb, are under consid-eration. This cabin will be a distinct asset, as there is at present no shelter at the Ridge save a small ranger's cabin which will afford protection to not more than five or six persons. The lodge, which will be built with Association funds, will shelter from seventy-five to one hundred girls. Those interested in the project expect it to be ready for use within another year. The Association also expects to own a complete outfit of camp equipment including cooking and eating utensils and alpine stocks, for the use of stu-dents making this trip. The hope is that instead of one trip to Mount Baker each summer there will be a hiking party of fifty or more students every week-end throughout the season. HELIOTROPE RIDGE (Weekly Messenger, Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 8, 1924.) The Normal mountain climbers left this morning at 6 o'clock on their first lap ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 115 ---------- toward the ascent of Mount Baker. They reached Glacier about 7 o'clock, and started on the eleven-mile hike to Heliotrope Ridge, where they will camp tonight. This after-noon will be spent in preparing camp, get-ting ready for the early start to the top, and exploring nearly all points of interest. It is estimated that about sixty or sev-enty took the trip. Members of the faculty going are President Fisher, Mr. Kolstad, Miss Johnson, Mr. Kibbe, Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Jones, Miss Wiggins, Mr. Bond, Mr. Irwin and Mr. Hartline. They expect to reach the summit some time Saturday afternoon. The party will re-turn to Bellingham Sunday evening. MOUNT BAKER SCALED BY MORE THAN SIXTY (Weekly Messenger, Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 15, 1924.) Sixty-two people, under the leadership of Mr. Hazard, of Seattle, and Mr. Kolstad, reached the top of Mount Baker, Saturday, August 8. The ascent was very successful in that all excepting one, who attempted the climb, reached the summit. The party camped at Heliotrope Ridge Friday night. Everyone was roused at four o'clock Saturday morning, and breakfast was served at five. At half past five the climb-ers hit the trial, the scouts leading. Grease paint was applied at snow line. White, pink, brown and orange colors were used and some very singular appearances were in evi- dEnce. Here the party was joined by Don Tunstall, who made a hurried trip from Bellingham after the play Friday night, in order to make the climb. After this the scouts, Tunstall, Young, Rice, Hinthorne and Mr. Kibbe, led on up the glacier. The first difficulty came a half hour later when the first snow bridge was crossed. The party advanced without inter-ruption until 10:30, when a stop was made for eating prunes and sugar. Some very large crevasses were encountered before the climbers reached the Saddle at 1:30. Here lunch was eaten and a half hour given to rest. The small amount of snow below the Roman Walls made the last part of the climb most difficult. It was very icy in places and some of the crevasses were dan-gerous to cross. The party was separated into two divisions and the ropes were used for the first time. Two large iocks came bounding down from the cliffs above and passed through the line of the first division. The last difficulties were surmounted in climbing the Roman Walls. The last of the party reached the top at 5:30, after twelve hours of climbing. CoMING DowN EAsY The descent was much easier and safer than the ascent. Many long slopes offered fine opportunities for sliding. All were in camp by 8:30. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was the pictures that were secured. Many interesting things recorded in pic-tures form a lasting history of a worth-while achievement. One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 116 ---------- EXCURSIONS BY WATER The mountains have their part, the sea has his, in the recreational side of life at normal. Each year during the spring and summer quarters there are numerous opportunities for boating par-ties. There is the private party or the club that goes cut for a day's picnic or a week-end trip to our neighboring Isle of Lummi, to the Sucia Islands of the San Juan group, or to Orcas Island where one can combine boating, fishing, swimming, and clam digging with the climbing of Mount Constitution, the highest point on the Sound. Or per-haps the goal is Friday Harbor on San Juan Island, where our marine school maintains summer courses, or where by chance, our baseball team is playing a local squad. If the latter, then the Normal has been known to sponsor an all-school excursion and picnic. Very popular, too, are the numerous excursions to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, the capital of the Province of British Columbia. There one feels the thrill of landing on foreign soil, and has all the joy of the foreign traveller in taking the various sight-seeing tours, in viewing the Parliament buildings, the museum, the castles, the parks, and sunken gardens, the observatory with its mammoth telescope, and other things to delight the traveler's soul and eye. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 117 ---------- One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 118 ---------- ,V 1 L THE ALLISON CUP AT LAST The Allison Cup which for the past five years has been the basis of con-tention between the Normal schools of the state, has at last found a permanent home at Bellingham. This trophy was presented to the Normal schools of Washington by Guy S. Allison, an alumnus of Bellingham Normal from the class of 1907. The rules formulated by Mr. Allison in 1921, when he presented the cup, were to the effect that a school must win a majority of the judges' votes in the V tri-Normal debates to gain possession of the cup. The rules further stipulated that a school must win for three consecutive years to gain permanent possession of the trophy. Cheney Normal was victorious in 1921 and again in 1922. Bellingham broke this winning streak in 1923 with a sweeping victory, and Cheney's hopes of gain-ing permanent possession of the cup were blasted, for that year at least. The debates of 1924 were very close and hard fought, resulting in a tie be-tween Cheney and Bellingham. In the deciding contest Cheney once more tasted defeat and Bellingham won the second consecutive victory. The victory which has been won this year has completed the work begun in 1923 and the Allison cup is destined to remain in Bellingham as one of her cherished possessions. Greater interest in debate work is expected next year. There has been formed within the school a debate club known as the Allison Debate Club. New and capable speakers should be found within the school, by the aid of this so- ciety, to meet the keen ccmpetition for the new trophy which has been offered by Mr. Allison. He stated in a recent letter to the school that the cup for next year will be even larger and better than the one recently won. Most of the credit for the victories this year in the inter-Normal triangular debates must be given to Miss Madden, the new coach. The outlook was anything but bright when the call went out for debaters this year. There was not a mem-ber from a former Bellingham team or a single student with post-high-school ex-perience available. Miss Madden's task was not only to coach winning teams but also to find the material for the teams. She planned, as a means of accomplishing this, an intramural debate tournament. This plan was eagerly entered into by the stu-dents and soon the strains of eloquent oratory could' be heard emanating from secluded nooks. One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 119 ---------- POYHONEN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD MADDEN, COACH VAN ETTEN LE MASTER LEONARD WOLBERT CLARK "Resolved, That the United States Cancel Her European War Debts" was the question decided upon for discussion. Several clubs selected teams and the following schedule was arranged: Philo vs. Thespians. Alkisiah vs. Aletheians. Independents vs. Independents. The three teams declared victors in these debates included those representing the Aletheians, the Thespians and an Indepndent team. The Independent team, after defeating the Aletheians, also defeated the Thespians at a regular assembly on January 13. The students were called upon to give the decision by popular vote. A small majority of three votes decided the victors. The winners had success-fully upheld the affirmative side of the question, by their contention that the European nations can pay, that there are means by which such payment can be made, and that it will be for the economic betterment of the world if payment is made. The speakers to defend the Normal's claim to the Allison Cup were selected from those who took part in this tournament. Their victory is due to the able coaching of Miss Madden and to the masterful aid given to the teams by Mr. Arntzen and other members of the faculty during their final preparation. "Resolved, That Japanese immigration in the United States should be regu-lated on a percentage basis, Japan's per cent to be on a parity with that of European nations." This was the question used for each of the debates this year. One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 120 ---------- INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE Bellingham, affirmative, 2; Cheney, 1. Bellingham, negative, 2; Ellensburg, 1. The Tri-Normal debate was held February 26. Unlike the usual procedure the affirmative teams were the ones to travel. The Bellingham affirmative team debated at Cheney, while the negative team met Ellensburg here. The members of the team traveling to Cheney were Warner Poyhonen, Inez Clark and Gretchen Wolbert. Mr. Arntzen accompanied them as faculty adviser. They based their argument upon the fact that by the statement of the question Japanese might be admitted on a percentage basis just as European nations, but that a special treaty should be made with Japan to admit only the desirables. They further showed that by such a policy friendly relations with Japan would be assured and thus trade would be promoted. Myra Leonard, Floid Van Etten, and Velma Le Master upheld the negative side of the question upon the home floor. They defeated the Ellensburg team by pointing out that the Japanese are unassimilable; that one unassimilable Orien-tal race cannot be admitted without admitting all Orientals; and that it would be setting up a dangerous precedent to admit them on a parity with European nations since there is a clause in the immigration laws of the United States which declares that no alien ineligible to citizenship shall be admitted to the United States. Badger Club, Negative, 2; Bellingham, affirmative, 1. Two men from the Badger Club of the University of Washington defeated a local team at a special assembly March 12. Meryl Byrd and John Fitzgerald were the speakers representing the Bellingham Normal. The men from the University won by their greater experience in debate. The Bellingham boys are both capable organizers and clear thinkers, and with this year's experience behind them they will make a strong bid for honors in debate next year. O. A. C., negative, 3; Bellingham, affirmative, 0. The debate schedule this year included a debate with a woman's team from the Oregon Agricultural College. This debate was held March 5 at a regular assembly. Inez Clark and Gretchen Wolbert were the speakers composing the Bellingham team. The speakers from O. A. C. were clever entertainers as well as debaters. The Bellingham speakers presented their rebuttal arguments in a com-mendable manner. One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 121 ---------- The Music Artists Course Through the efforts of President Fisher this school has secured the best possible advantages in music. Aside from the school's well organized classes, a series of the very highest grade musical numbers are given in Bellingham through the co-operation of the Women's Music Club and the Normal School. Admission, to con-certs is secured by means of the student body ticket. Louis GRAVEURE In the first number of the course Louis Graveure was presented. Mr. Gra-veure has a wide reputation for his great variety of music. During his life he has done many things beside study music. One of these was to spend several years at sea and at fishing. All of these experiences have helped him to interpret his songs to his audience with greater truth of life. Each year Mr. Graveure travels aboard se-curing new and interesting music to delight his listeners. Sandor, his accompanist, is a pianist of note whom Mr. Graveure engaged in Europe. Mr. Sandor's art adds greatly to the completeness of the concert. SOPHIE BRASLAU Sophie Braslau, a young contralo, was presented in song recital January 9, 1925. Miss Braslau was born in New York and has had most of her training in America. She began her training as a pianist, but someone discovered her voice and her career began in grand opera, where she soon won a cordial liking. For several years she has been devoting her time to concert work. Miss Braslau has a magnificent voice, ranging from the very deepest tones to those quite high. Added to this large list of good qualities she has a fascinating power of stirring her audience with her songs. MARIE IVOGUN On January 21, Marie Ivogun was presented in the third concert of the series. Miss Ivogun greatly pleased her audience with an artistic program and a charming personality. Ivogun has a surprisingly high voice and clear, sweet tones. Her program, including many encores, contained a large number of favorite songs which were truly appreciated by the audience. W. S. C. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB February 14, the W. S. C. Girls' Glee Club entertainment was remarkable for its "snap" and variety. The girst group of songs was sung by the entire chorus. Following that was a violin solo by Miss Reynolds. The quartet sang several fine numbers. Miss Pettibone played a piano solo. The whole Glee Club gave a Chinese extravaganza, in which number the girls were dressed in Chinese costumes. They gave a very weird chant and dance while the quartet sang to the accompaniment of odd little Chinese guitars. Between this and the Scotch act, the trio, consisting of violin, 'cello and piano, played several numbers. This last number featured Janet Rae, Pullman's Harry Lauder. Students felt that they were well paid for hearing these girls on their fourth annual tour. ALBERTO SALVI Alberto Salvi, world-famous Italan harpist, was presented in concert at the First Church of Christ on February 17. All of those who heard Salvi play were filled with amazement at the perfection of his art and the pure, full tones produced. He was born in Venice, the son of a harp maker, and his musical training started early. From the age of six or seven years he showed his love for music by dragging one of his father's great harps into a corner and playing for hours upon it. Finally, the harp maker made for his son a small-sized instrument. Salvi played several of his own compositions. As encores he played numbers that are universal favorites, such as Bacarolle, Sextette from Lucia, Die Lammer-moor and Mother Machree. When he had finished playing, his listeners felt that they had truly heard great and inspiring art. One Hundred Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 122 ---------- FLONZALEY QUARTET The Flonzaley Quartet's program given at the Christian Church on the eve-ning of April 16 was a genuine treat to the music lovers who heard it. All the numbers were heartily applauded, and the Quartet graciously responded with several encores. The artists playing were Adolfo Betti, first violin; Karl Kraeuter, second violin; Felicien d'Archambeau, viola; and Iwan d'Archambeau, violoncello. Mr. Kraeuter, who occupied the second violin desk, was supplied by the courtesy of the Festival Quartet of South Mountain to take the place of Mr. Alfred Phochon, who could not be in his place because of temporary illness. The name "Flonzaley' 'has an interesting origin. Mr. Edward J. de Coppet of New York City, a wealthy and enthusiastic lover of music, particularly of the string quartet, often entertained his friends with small informal concerts in his own home. His ambition to establish a permanent string quartet took shape when he spent the summer of 1902 at his Swiss villa on Lake Geneva. Here he met Mr. Pochon, the present second violinist of the quartet. Mr. de Coppet, delighted with Pochon's playing, invited him to his home to discuss the forming of a permanent string quartet. Mr. de Coppet agreed to be the financial sponsor for the group, while Mr. Pochon was to secure the players. As a result of much work, Mr. Pochon secured Adolfo Betti of Brussels Con-servatory for the first violin. Ura Aara, a young Italian who was studying in Vienna, accepted the offer to play the viola parts, while Mr. Pochon was equally fortunate in securing the services of Iwan d'Archambeau, a brilliant Belgian 'cellist. The four musicians met for the first time at "Flonzalea," Mr. de Coppet's Swiss villa, and took the name by which they have become famous in the world of music. They came to America in 1904. At that time they performed only for Mr. de Coppet and his friends. Occasionally they gave a public concert for charitable purposes but it was the founder's wish that the quartet should give no public per-formances. In 1906, however, a change was made in the business relations, and the quartet became independent and sulf- supporting. Since that t:me their work has become widely recognized. They have played in four hundred American cities, have made eighteen hundred appearances in America, and more than five hundred in Europe. This group of players is largely responsible for the growing interest for chamber music in this country. Music critics unanimously praise the Flonzaley Quartet. Lecture Course OCTOBER 1, 1924 Mr. J. B. Sears, from the School of Education of Leland Stanford University, California, addressed the first student assembly of the year on the subject of "Tradition and Science in Education. "In his lecture Mr. Sears attacked thoughtless remarks and emphasized the fact that "it is worth while to size one's self up and see where one stands in one's ability to reason." OCTOBER 21, 1924 One of the most gifted speakers of the fall quarter was Mr. Dhan Gopal Mukerji, who delivered two lectures to the Normal students on the relations of the East and the West. In the first lecture, given in the morning, Dr. Mukerji spoke on "The Present Crisis in the East," and in the afternoon he spoke on "What America Has to Contribute to the East." Mr. Mukerji spoke of the lack of spirituality among the western peoples and asked that we give more time toward developing our spiritual side. One Hundred Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 123 ---------- OCTOBER 31, 1924 Mr. Jay Nash, director of Physical Education at Oakland, California, spoke on the lack of attention given toward the necessary development of the physical resources of America. He gave examples of physical education as taught in the public schools over the country and also some very good advice toward obtaining and keeping good health. NOVEMBER 17, 1924 One of the most interesting talks of the season was delivered by Arthur L. Coggeshall, paleonotologist, who turned the clock back over six million years dur-ing the hour in which he lectured on "Hunting Big Game in the Rocks." Mr. Coggeshall, who is Director of Education of Carnegie Museum, has toured America and Europe extensively and has contributed much to science in his study of dinosaur life. DECEMBER 11, 1924 Ruth Bryan Owen, as gifted in oratory as is her well-known father, William Jennings Bryan, gave an interesting and educational lecture on the topic of "Open-ing Doors." Mrs. Owen has spent a great deal of time traveling in Europe, Africa and Asia Minor and she described the social life and business relations of these peoples in a most entertaining manner. DECEMBER 15, 1924 Students of art and those having an artistic sense were very appreciative of the illustrated lecture delivered by Mr. Haig Arklin. Mr. Arklin, who is an artist himself, conceived the idea of making copies of famous paintings as he saw them in his travels in Europe and bringing them here in order that American people might become more familiar with the works of great artists. "America," says Mr. Arklin, "has attained great heights of economic and political perfection, but she has not contributed toward the art of the world. Now is the time for her genius to be turned to the production of art." JANUARY 19, 1925 The Normal had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Thomas Curtin, famous journal-ist and specialist in foreign affairs, lecture January 19 on the subject of "European Affairs." Dr. Curtin's talk was one of the most educational and interest- holding of the year. He described pre-war and after-war conditions in Europe and America. When asked by Lloyd George what great lesson we had learned from the World War, Dr. Curtin replied, "Any structure, to last and en-dure, must be put on a foundation that is morally sound." At the close of the lecture he expressed his appreciation of the interest and knowledge the Normal students had on the subject. FEBRUARY 11, 1925 A more pleasing and more entertaining assembly was never called than was the one wherein Mr. Noah Bulharz, noted reader, interpreted "The Hoosier School-master." Mr. Bulharz gave the story at Normal a few years ago and was so enthusiasti-cally received by his audience that he was asked to repeat the reading when he came to Bellingham again this winter. The characters were alive; in fact, so much so, that they seemed to step out of the book. The use of costumes and wigs, combined with Mr. Bulharz's talent, made the reading entirely delightful.

Though only seventeen students have been elected this year it is the intention of the socity to bring the membership up to its full quota as soon as eligible candidates are available. The objectives of the society are to provide recognition of scholastic attainment, thereby stimulating greater endeavor in the entire student body, and to provide op-portunity for student members to meet outsiders of similar scholastic outlook. To realize these objectives a progressive program is being planned. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 125 ---------- Leadership Societ Uj Functions of this society: To give recognition to students for good leadership; to stimulate better thinking in the student body on the matter of what constitutes good leadership, and thus to make for better selection of leaders; to lead to a study of the factors involved in good leadership in order that members of the society and students may better develop their capacities for leadership. The following were chosen by a committee consisting of the President of the Normal School, the Dean of the Faculty, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men as the charter members of the Leadership Society: MILTON BLONDEN ROSE GRAY JOYCE GUNDERSON EDGAR HANNAH DAISY HOWARD ZENO KATTERLE CONSTANCE MARKUSON CATHARINE DON MARQUIS JACK MCELHINEY LULU MINKLER VIOLET NEAL MARIE PARKER BEATRICE THOMAS SYBIL TUCKER WATTS At the first meeting of the society the following were elected officers: President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer Other leaders elected to membership are: HELEN ALLMAIN MARY CULVER ARNOLD KAAS IRA LOREE MARGARET MCROBERT ZENO KATTERLE EDGER HANNAH MILTON BLONDEN WARD PRIGG CATHERINE RANDALL ELSA SCHUBERT DOROTHY SHIPLEY MIRIAM TAYLOR o One Hundred Twenty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 126 ---------- * -.g EDENS' HALL, SCENE OF MANY STUDENT SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THE MAIN LIBRARY WHERE WE MAY BE WHEN NOT IN CLUB MEETINGS One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 127 ---------- WOMEN'S LEAGUE DANCE IN EDENS' HALL MEN'S CLUB GROUP One Hundred Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 128 ---------- Camp Fire Girls At the beginning of the winter quarter, three Camp Fire groups were organized with Miss Jones, Miss Rosene, and Miss Frank as guardians. The main purpose of the groups is to train their members to be guardians who will be capable of organiz-ing and leading other groups of Camp Fire girls in various parts of the state. At the end of the course each girl is awarded a guardian's certificate if she has attended ninety per cent of the meetings, met all other requirements, and planned a three months' program for a Camp Fire group. The law of the Camp Fire Girls is to seek beauty, give service, pursue knowl-edge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, and be happy. The Camp Fire program centers around the watchword "Wohelo," meaning work, health, and love. The "Desires" of the three ranks express a real comradeship of friends, the love of man for God, and the desire to share with others the good and beautiful things of the world. The program for the year included lectures and demonstrations on symbolism, wood blocking, requirements for rank and course, book binding, nature lore, girls' psychology, basketry, program planning, blue prints, and other topics of interest to a Camp Fire Girl. At a meeting on May 29, President Fisher spoke on "What Girls Can Do as Leaders." One council fire was held. It was conducted by Miss Ruth Brown, Executive Secretary from Seattle. A "birds' breakfast" given at the end of Sunset Trail was one of the enjoyable events of the year. There were about fifty members in the three groups during the winter quarter. Lois Booher was president; Myrtle Carlson, secretary; Alice Vaughn, treasurer, and Catherine McEwen, reporter. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 129 ---------- Gulj Allison Debate Club The purpose of the Guy Allison Debate Club is to increase interest in debate in the Normal and to give the members drill in parliamentary procedure. The first meeting was called by Miss Sperry, December 5. Miriam Bixby was appointed temporary chairman while the following officers were elected: Ruth Little, president; Lois Peck, treasurer; Bessie Carlson, vice-president; Velma Le Master, secretary. Miss Rich and Mr. Arntzen were chosen sponsors. Debates have been scheduled with Whatcom and Fairhaven on the question: "Resolved, That the Philippines should be granted immediate independence." On February 26, the club entertained the Ellensburg debate team consisting of Elmer Kennedy, Don Nylan, Emmanuel Burnstein and Coach Lucius Forbes. The debaters were met at their hotel and taken for a trip over Chuckanut High-way by the committee consisting of Ruth Little, Lois Peck, Geneva Roswell, Dingman Bjema, Robson Graham, John Fitzgerald and Mr. Fowler. They were further entertained before the debate by Catharine Watts, who played a violin number. After the debate a reception was held in the Edens Hall reception room in honor of the debaters. All debate club members, the judges, the Board of Control and personal friends of the Ellensburg debaters were invited. Much of the feel-ing of comradeship and hospitality was due to the steaming hot chocolate con-cocted by Gladys Burrows and served by Opal Regenvetter and Gladys Lee. The chairman of the social committee, Emily Hendrickson, wishes to thank those people who have done those "thankless jobs" which contribute so much to everyone's comfort. The year's work of the club has on the whole been a success. The work has given the members valuable experience in organization and cooperation, as well as companionship in a group with similar interests. One Hundred Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 130 ---------- The Normal Drama Club The purpose of the Normal Drama Club is to further interest in the spoken drama, and to give club members experience in actual play production. This is carried out by the presentation, each quarter, of one play. Membership in the club is granted at tryouts held at the first of every year, or at the tryouts for the cast of any one play. The faculty advisers of the club are Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, Mrs. Annette Vaughan, and Mr. C. O. Newdall. These advisers constitute the tryout committee. The plays are directed by Mr. Hoppe, and the management of them is handled by members of the club. The Normal Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Newdall, presented a musical program with each of the three plays given during the year '24-'25. Officers for the year were elected at the first business meeting in the fall quarter of 1924. The following members were chosen and they served throughout the year: DoN MARQUIS . President EDNA CARLYLE Vice-President MARJORIE ADERTON Secretary The club gave a dance at the Victoria Hotel, December 5.

One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 131 ---------- In the summer quarter, 1924, "Twelfth Night" was presented in the Greenwood Theatre on the Normal campus. It was the fourth consecutive summer Shakespearean play given by the Drama Club. The production was staged three nights: August 6, 7 and 8. A dancing interlude of old English folk dances was given under the direction of the Physical Education department, while music was furnished by the Normal Orchestra under the direction of John Roy Williams. The cast, directed by Mr. Hoppe, was as follows: Olivia Viola Maria Duke Arsino Sebastian Antonio Sea Captain Valentine Curio Sir Toby Belch Sir Andrew Ague-Cheek Malvolio Fabian Clown .S .

Vice-President CATHERINE RANDALL Secretary DoN MARQUIS Treasurer MIss MAUDE SLAWSON, MR. CLIFFORD NEWDALL S. ponsors The MacDowell Club, which is listed as a special organization, was organized early in the winter quarter. To about twenty-three charter members there have been added enough to reach the membership limit, which is thirty-five. The fol-lowing instructors in the music department of the institution were invited to be-come honorary members: Miss Ethel Gardner, Mr. Paul Lusterman, Mr. Clifford Newdall, Mr. Harrison Raymond, Miss Maude Slawson and Mr. John Roy Wil-liams. The aim of the club is to study the lives of composers and to render their works. The semi-monthly meetings are given to the study of one phase of music with vocal and instrumental illustrations by club members. The first meeting was devoted to a MacDowell program. Those following were on Indian music and the contributions of Cadman and Lieurance, and on negro music and the con-tributions of Stephen Foster. The club was named in honor of Edward MacDowell because of the great con-tribution he has made to American music and because of the efforts that his wife is putting forth to turn the MacDowell home into a place where musicians may live and study. There is a national organization of MacDowell clubs throughout the United States and it is an ambition of this club to become a member of the national or- ganization. One Hundred Thirty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 134 ---------- W Club The years 1924-25 have been the most prosperous yet experienced in the life of the "W" Club. Its growth has been rapid because of the fact that a larger number of men are becoming interested in the athletics of the school. The "W" Club as an incentive, has urged more athletes to strive for the coveted emblem which this school bestows. Incidentally, the membership of the club has been in-creased threefold during the past school year. The organization has extended its activities throughout every section of the state. Special effort has been made to secure a high type of young man for this school. Successful attempts have been made to locate alumni who have earned their "W" in some sport and interest them in the organization so that closer association will result. Present indications point to a larger club next year, with activities which, it is hoped, will favorably affect the whole school.

AGNES TWEIT Assistant Secretary . CARLA LA VIGNE The purpose of the W. A. A. is to "promote a high physical efficiency among women of the Normal; to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics; to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship." At the end of the last school year the club had twenty-five members. Now it has nearly one hundred members, many of whom have received awards earned under the point system. During the year the club has taken an active part in inter-class athletics under the direction of Miss Frank and Miss Skalley. Bi-weekly hikes have been taken by the club under the leadership of Miss George. The W. A. A. has adopted a daily health program which has proved very suc-cessful. Health charts turned in monthly have shown the progress made by each member. The W. A. A. stands for physical efficiency, sportsmanship and good citi-zenship. With these ideals in view the club wishes to interest still more girls, because it offers something very worth while. The club members have suffered an immeasurable loss in the death of Miss Long, their friend and adviser. She took the greatest interest in the club and was untiring in her efforts to make it a better organization. Every W. A. A. member feels a deep personal loss and wishes to express an appreciation of Miss Long's work among them.

Simpson, Miss Grace Headrick, Miss Adele Jones, Miss May Mead, Miss Lola McMeen, Miss Ruth Schwartze, Mrs. Ed. Young. The Y. W. C. A. of this institution commends itself to the students for the op-portunity it affords in training for Christian leadership, for fine friendship, for Bible study, social service, and for the inspiration of the weekly devotional meeting. Speakers at the weekly meetings have been noted missionaries, prominent local religious workers, professors, and members of the organization. The pleasure of the meetings has been enhanced by special music. Nine Bible study classes with an enrollment of over one hundred and fifty meet each week. Rev. Gill, Miss Sperry, Mrs. Geo. MacL. Miller, and Mrs. Gun-derson are teachers. The Fifteenth Annual Bible Study Institute, under Mrs. J. Addison Campbell and Dr. Georgia Sattler, two of the most scholarly Bible teachers of the Northwest, was held in January and was received with enthusiasm. The first all-school affair of the year was the annual Y. W. C. A. reception held at Eden's Hall. The Hard Times party was perhaps one of the most unique and joyous events of the year, and the Y. W. C. A. Trip-Around-the-World has not yet met an equal in the eyes of the participants. One of the most inspirational and profitable affairs of the year is the Annual Missionary Convention held at Geneva on Lake Whatcom by interdenominational workers of the Northwest. Last summer Mr. Frazer, a missionary among the Lisu aboriginal Chinese, was one of the speakers most enjoyed. About sixty students were in attendance either after school hours or during the week-end at the lake. Much interest was kindled in undreamed-of opportunities for service. The needs of the field and opportunities for Christian teachers have been so presented that over twenty-two graduates of this institution have answered the call to do definite life work in the foreign fields, besides many who have been inspired to do work in the home field. One Hundred Thirty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 138 ---------- Leowjrhfa Club Back in the gray dawn of the history of the Leowyrhta Club, a nebulae of girls began to cluster around a center of interest in story telling. At first there was no organization; later as the number interested grew, formal organization took place. There are three important cornerstones in the foundation of the club. These are Friendship, Love of Good Stories, and Service. All of the girls strive, of course, to make fellow members dear friends. In club meetings the best of stories are told and read with deep appreciation. The members are always in active service at the libraries, and ready for any call coming from clubs and P. T. A.'s. The sponsors, Miss Jacobs and Miss Montgomery, and Miss Sperry, who is an honorary member, have guided the club successfully through the year. During Book Week in November a very interesting program was put on at the libraries. This year the annual program has been extended to take in the Silver Beach library, which is just struggling into existence. The social side of the club has not been neglected, for there have been many pleasant evenings together, the banquet being outstanding among these. The officers have been Daisy Howard, president; Dorothea Adolph, treasurer, and Lucile Norris, secretary.

Proud of the fact that theirs is the oldest club in the Bellingham Normal, and the only federated club, the members have tried to live up to Alkisiah standards. The club's objective of public service has been particularly stressed, although no meeting has been considered complete unless public speaking and current problems have had some part in it. One of the first activities of the year was the furnishing of popcorn balls for the Pre-Primary party. It is doubtful whether the children enjoyed the treat any more than did the girls who prepared it. During November the club brought the exhibit of originals by Washington artists to Bellingham. The collection contained many pictures which were both beautiful and interesting, for some of the scenes were familiar to Normal students. The display was held in the Normal building and many townspeople as well as students took advantage of the opportunity to learn something of Washington art and artists. On Friday, December 12, we initiated all new members who had been voted in during the quarter. The evening proved very amusing for the old members and the new ones won through strenuous endeavor the club spirit of "Once an Alki-siah, always an Alkisiah." Just before Christmas when the cold winds were blowing outside, the girls held their arnual bulb sale. Beautiful white narcissi which the members had grown were offered to the students and faculty at a reasonable price. Our annual club banquet which was held February 14 in the Tulip room at the Leopold hotel proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the season. The newer members gained appreciation of the club's past activities by meeting with the club workers who have graduated. Before the spring quarter closes we will have entertained the student body during one assemly period. To Miss Moffatt, the sponsor, and to Mrs. Vaughan, who is an active mem-ber, we are indeed grateful for the kind and generous assistance given during the past year.

ALICE FRANCIS A stands for Aletheia, and Aletheia stands for one of the finest clubs on the B. S. N. S. campus. Many were the happy times enjoyed by the members this year. A clever Hallowe'en party was staged in the Home Economics room of the school building. The girls all came in costume and many original characters ap-peared. One of the interesting features of the evening's entertainment was an il-lustrated talk on Alaska by Gaynelle Moses, who had just returned from two years of teaching in the Land of the Midnight Sun. The winter passed quickly. Many interesting meetings were held, at which literary subjects and topics of the day were discussed. The Aletheians did their part in making the Christmas program a success. A scene from the "Little Red Schoolhouse" was given which carried the audience back a few years into the past. The Aletheians also helped in making the Viking Vodvil an event which will not soon be forgotten. The club was fortunate in having two representatives on the debate squad which was so successful in debate this year. We have reason to be proud of Velma Le Master and Inez Clarke. Next to the never-to-be-forgotten week-end trip, the annual banquet will be the longest remembered affair of the year. The banquet, which was held at the Victoria Hotel, was a huge success. The table was beautifully decorated in rose and gray, the club colors. After the banquet the girls spent the remainder of the evening dancing. Miss Crawford, the club sponsor, has been greatly missed during her illness. She and Miss Longley, an honorary member, have done much in helping the club to live up to the symbol of Alethia, the owl, which signifies Life, Truth and Purity. One Hundred Forty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 142 ---------- Ohijesa Club The Ohiyesa Club was organized in the fall of 1916 and since that time has made steady progress. The purpose of the club is to give literary programs, parliamentary drills, debate, dramatic and social functions. Ohiyesa is an Indian word meaning "The Winner." Soon after the opening of the fall term of 1924 the members served tea in the Faculty Room to fifty guests. Since the tea the club has had several social functions. During the winter quarter the club served a luncheon in the club rooms of Edens Hall to fifteen new members. The annual banquet was held in the spring in the Tulip Room of the Hotel Leopold with all members present as well as many alumni. It was a great success as a get- together for both the new and the former members.

It certainly was a difficult thing to choose twenty-five new members out of the sixty who tried out. When we finally had them chosen we felt that we had the "cream" of the school. At the next meeting we had the election of officers and the following were chosen to lead the club for the quarter: President . . . Guy BOND Vice- President . DICK BRULAND Secretary CATHERINE RANDALL Critic EVANGELINE SOWERS In November we initiated about twenty of the new members and it was just as exciting as ever. The Philo hand-shake and the Philo drink still get the squeals. I was so sorry you couldn't come back for the birthday party in January. There were many old Philos there. It was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Philippi. We spent a good share of the time playing the Philo crap game. I can still hear them yelling, "P- H-I, oh shoot, three P's." We were all given an intelligence test on poetry, too. Catherine Randall proved to be the smartest. At a very late hour a short musical program was given and then Mrs. Philippi, assisted by her two daughters, served us with the most delicious refreshments. The huge One Hundred Forty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 144 ---------- birthday cake with seventeen green candles on it was presided over by Guy Bond. Miss Headrick blew the candles out and there wasn't much air left in her when the last one flickered out. Mr. Kolstad was lucky. He got the ring, but he didn't tell us who it was or when it was to be. "Dutch" Wilder got the hairpin and I haven't been able to find out just what that means. I got the penny and when I come into my own I am going to build a cabin for the Philos out at the lake. Oh, it certainly was a successful party and we as a club certainly appreciate Mr. and Mrs. Philippi's hospitality. At our next club meeting we elected the officers for the second quarter: President .. MERYL BYRD Vice-President LELWYN ALGYER Secretary VIOLET NEAL Critic . MARIE PAKAR On the night of the opera "Cavaleria Rusticana" we had dinner at Edens Hall before attending the opera in a body. Every Philo was proud that one of their own members, Marguerite Saddler, took one of the leading roles. I know that you have been very anxious to know how we came out in basket-ball this season. The boys had a slicker team and they won in the game with our old rivals, the Thespians. They also defeated the Rural Lifers. The girls also had an undefeated season and we are very proud of our successes in athletics. Our initiation for the second quarter was held in Mr, Kolstad's cabin at the lake. How we all got into his little cabin will always be a mystery. If you want any details as to just what occurred there a good person to ask is Freda Slater. During the spring quarter we gave an interesting assembly program. In May we had our annual week-end party and it certainly was a shame that anyone had to miss that, for it was the crowning success of the year. We learned how to play baseball while we were there, to say nothing of the skill developed in playing checkers. We all feel that this was one of our most successful years and we owe much of our success to the untiring efforts of Mr. Philippi, club sponsor. We hope we will see you at the party next year with all of the rest of the former Philos. Yours, PHI. A One Hundred Forty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 145 ---------- Rural Life Club Rural Life, Rural Life, Out on the lea, happy and free, Rural Life, Rural Life, That is the life for me. Thus the Rural Lifers sang in the Viking Vcdvil last year. They sang this and many others as they wended their weary way up Mount Constitution. Zounds! But that was a glorious day and a wonderful time. The clouds obscured the view of Bellingham, but the climbers got many wonderful pictures along with blistered heels and toes. What is a night's sleep, more or less, with the floor for a bed, when one can see such wonderful scenery? Pancakes are food for the gods when fried by the right person. At least everyone who went on the Mt. Baker trip last spring declares this a true state-ment. In fact, they were so good that another trip is planned this year to get some more pancakes. (The scenery is purely incidental). The coal mine trip last spring convinced all the girls that they would be "well off" if they could don jeans and go to work. The boys think it would be all right if one didn't do any work. The summer session drifted in and as usual the pep in the club was dis-played in a salmon bake and a trip to Friday Harbor. "Bang!" What was that? Oh, nothing. Just the Rural Lifers starting the fall quarter. The first meeting was held at Miss Keeler's. At this meeting plans were laid and the usual routine business of the quarter begun. Refresh-ments made this regular meeting into a party and thus caused the explosive start of the club functions. One Hundred Forty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 146 ---------- The real reason for having a club is to study community problems, such as may be met through club and other extra-school activities. With this in view, programs are planned of varied nature according to purpose and season such as may be adapted to the community in which one serves. Parliamentary drill is one phase of the regular program through which actual working experi-ence is gained. The club is just getting to the interesting part of a model Parent Teacher Association. It began with a meeting called for the purpose of discussing the advisability of effecting such an organization and is now ready to complete the permanent organization, delegating to the various committees the actual work appropriate to such committees. "Adam" School District bids fair to have a model P. T. A. so that anyone missing meetings is certainly "coming out at the small end of the horn." The club has continued its policy of excursions and out-of-door recreation, for it is believed that such activities are educational and wholesome for the group and community. The trip up Sehome to plant ivy and flowers was a huge success. All nature appreciated it. Even the clouds showered good wishes on the party to make the venture a success. The combination Hallowe'en party and initiation made quite a stir. A few ghosts appeared on the scene, but were scared away by the manner in which the peanuts were crossing the floor and by the vigorous waving of paddles in the hands of the initiation committee. As usual everyone enjoyed the annual Christmas party at Dr. and Mrs. Miller's. Remarkable as it may seem, there was not a flunk in consequence of the fun had. Edens Hall made money for a week or so after January 26. What, didn't you know? Oh, that was the date of the annual Rural Life banquet. Stuffed? Well, I should say so; of course, no one had indigestion, for happiness aids di-gestion, and everyone was pleased with the entertainment provided by the com-mittee in charge and by the Victoria Hotel. The annual Valentine party at Edens Hall was a "heart smashing" good time. The prizes were appropriate and the refreshments more so. With a heart as a stake, who wouldn't be a gallant knight, participating in so thrilling a tournament ! Some folks declare there is no Lost Lake. Well, maybe there isn't, for the party that went out to find it came back without having had a glimpse of the lake, and the party that was trying to find them, found neither the lake nor the lost Rural Lifers. A perfect day has been ordered for the Mt. Constitution trip this year. The members want to see all there is to be seen this time. They also hope to eat pan-cakes fried in bear grease on Mount Baker before the year is out. Not willing to neglect their minds for their stcmachs, a trip through the cement plant and another down into the coal mine is planned. If you want to see a bunch that is willing to work, having a good time, "just watch Rural Life dust." Yours for a good time till this time next year and ever after- RURAL LIFE CLUB. One Hundred Forty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 147 ---------- Thespian Club June, 1925. DEAR DON: Say, but hasn't time gone fast! Just a year ago tonight you came home from Squalieum Beach where you had called the Thespian Club to order for the last time. Do you remember how blue you felt because your Thespian days were over, and how sorry you were for me that I didn't belong? Well, when I came back this fall, I decided that I was going to get into the club or die in the attempt. I started prac-ticing a poem on my room-mate until she was certainly glad when the day for the tryout came. The tryout was awful, and when 1' saw how good Joe and Margaret and all the rest were, I thought my chance of joining the talented crowd was pretty slim, so I was more than tickled when I got my card welcoming me into the club. "My mind kind of goes blank when I try to remember initiation night. I certainly got my share of carbolic acid, cat meat, and bumps. I guess the others suffered, too, though. I believe we had a Hallowe'en party afterwards-Paul and Don say we did-but I was so dazed and bruised up that I can't remember what happened. I remem-ber I thought 1 was seeing double when I first noticed Altie and Mrs. Ford together. I'll never forget the next week, though, when Dickey and Jack tried to look uncon-cerned behind their funny masks as they walked past Miss Schwartze in the dining room. Well, we certainly had good programs at the club meetings all winter. We studied different plays and Dorothy and Lulu put on a part of "The Maker of Dreams" for one meeting. One Hundred Forty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 148 ---------- The various clubs had tables to themselves at the Home-coming banquet in Edens Hall dining room so we Thespians had a real get-together. Let's see, I guess the next important thing our club did was to give the miracle play, "The Christmas Guest," at the Christmas assembly. We did everything to the new Thespians at the winter quarter initiation that was done to us, and almost ran them ragged. Floid and Don made a hurried last will and testament when they smelled the carbolic acid. Mary's ride on the wheelbarrow was good. Evelyn, Beverly and Selma didn't particularly enjoy the hours of wash-ing dishes while the rest of us danced, but finally even they admitted that it was a swell club. The best part of the initiations came the next week. Chauncey and John spent most of their time up a tree yelling for the Thespian Club, while Jessie delivered passionate speeches on "Why Girls Are Girls!" The time when I was most proud that I was a Thespian, though, was when we pantomimed "Hiawatha" for assembly. Miss Madden coached it and, Don, it was just great! Marjory, Melba, Bradley and Slim were especially good. The Thespian orchestra played a wonderful accompaniment for the readings by Sybil and Mary. Even the Philo girl who sat next to me said it was the best assembly we've had this year. It was too bad you couldn't be here for the Home-Coming Banquet at the Leopold. Elsa was the chairman of the committee for arrangements, and she cer-tainly put it over big. Polly, Tiny, Oliver, and several other old Thespians were there, but we missed you. The banquet, speeches, program, floor and music were all just perfect. Mr. Newdall coached a clever musical act for the Viking Vodvil that was well liked. Some of the rest of us sold refreshments to help our Normalstad fund along. I wish I had time to tell you about our wonderful Philo-Thespian week-end party (get Tommy or Maurice to write about that) or the girls' basketball team, (Elsa and Catharine know more about that than I do) and all the rest of our good times, but Mr. Kibbe expects me to hand in a term paper tomorrow so I'll just have to ring off. Ida and Wilda say to tell you "Hello!"

Although the club is fundamentally a social organization, it also stands for scholarship and cooperation with all school activities. Immediately after organizing, the members started the "Viking Vodvil," which has been accepted by the student body as an annual event. During the quarter the club presented in assembly "The Lost Silk Hat," a play in one act. The principal social event of the quarter was a dance given at the Victoria Hotel, February 7. The club was especially active during the winter quarter. It sponsored the Bensen Symphony Orchestra concert given on January 30. Then came the dinner dance at the Hotel Leopold. The club also had a girls' basketball team and worked up a stunt for the "Viking Vodvil."

President DOROTHY ANDERSON Vice-President EDITH ROMIG Secretary The Oregon Club was formed primarily for the mutual enjoyment and benefit of those students who came from our sister state, Oregon. This year the club has grown steadily. Its members are following the tradi-tions of their mother state and have gone in for hiking and outdoor sports. Early in the fall session the club held a mixer in the small gymnasium, where it was found that nearly thirty people claimed Oregon as their home either by birth or residence. Plans were made for a continuation of the club's activities. Frances Kishner was elected president and the social benefits of the club were stressed. The winter quarter was quiet, due to the loss of our president via the mar-riage route. The first official act of the new president, Freda Scott, was to take the crowd to Whatcom Falls Park in a pouring rain. We all returned cleaner and wiser. The past three quarters have been both educational and enjoyable. Under the supervision of the sponsor, Mr. Bond, trips to several of Bellingham's manu-facturing industries were made. The members have also participated in a number of outdoor breakfasts and hikes to local points of interest. Some very good things have been planned for the coming quarter as the summer session gives much opportunity for life in the open. One Hundred Fifty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 152 ---------- One Hundred Fifty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 153 ---------- Edens Hall Edens Hall, "the home of color and light," is the home and center of most activities for over one hundred Normal girls. Recreation for the girls is well provided for. Each night after dinner an hour of informal jollity is enjoyed. Some girls spend it by playing the victrola and dancing in the third-floor lobby. Some may be found playing the piano or singing or talking before the blazing hearth of the beautifully furnished drawing room. Others prefer to spend their time walking about the campus or visiting their friends in other rooms. Miss Headrick, the social director of Edens Hall, has supervised a very de-lightful social program this year. The first event was in the nature of a "get acquainted" party which thor-oughly accomplished its purpose. A Christmas party was given to which each girl was allowed to bring a friend who did not live at the hall. Candy and toys were distributed from the tree by Santa himself. Three dances were given by the girls. The first was a Christmas dance, at-tended by about sixty-five couples. The second dance, another enjoyable affair, was led by St. Patrick and his glory of green on March 14. The third occurred during the spring quarter. Many other affairs of an informal nature are on the calendar. Every week-end sees the kitchenette the scene of several fudge parties. Then, too, boxes from home call for parties and spreads in the girls' rooms. On the whole, the Edens Hall girl feels herself privileged in her opportuni-ties for daily contact with more than one hundred other girls living dormitory life.

It was organized in the fall of 1923 for the purpose of getting better acquainted with our neighbors who came from the North Central states, to welcome those just coming west to our school, to help maintain the high standard of social life in the school and to support the interests of the Belling-ham Normal. We feel that we are truly western. The pioneering spirit, the spirit that calls to everyone for his best endeavor, has called us from the East. We love the West and have come to put our hands to whatever task lies nearest to them. Of our varied social activities this year, the splendid banquet in the Club Room will long be remembered. After a short program the purposes and aims of the club were discussed, and officers were elected for the next quarter. The bad luck commonly attributed to Friday and thirteen, especially when they fall on the same day, was deliberately courted when we carried out and enjoyed in a most happy way the big event of the year, a dancing party on Friday, the thirteenth of February, in the big gym. We proved equal to the occasion even though the man in the moon hid his face and old Satan himself came up to drive us from earth and take away our eats. Let us add that any who have lived in any of the North Central states a year or more are eligible for the club membership. In all of our activities.we have felt that success was possible only because of the guiding hand of our worthy sponsor, Mr. Lawson, who has been diligent in his work for the club.

Treasurers MARGARET TAYLOR, MARGARET MCROBERT, MARGUERITE BOYER Reporters The Sagebrush Club is an organization to bring together all the members of the school who live in Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or elsewhere in the "Land of the Sagebrush." It is a social club, but this fall an amendment made to the constitution stated that the purpose of the club should be not only social, but educational as well. Special emphasis has been placed on visiting the industrial centers of this locality. The first trip was to the fish cannery in South Bellingham. In Novem-ber the club members went to the coal mines. They put on the miners' caps, and had a thrilling afternoon, going down with the shift at one o'clock and coming out with it at five o'clock. Still another interesting trip included a visit to the sawmills. A dance given in November proved a delightful social function. The big gymnasium was made inviting through the efforts of the decorations committtee under the leadership of Florence Daley. Other committee chairmen were Ethel Paval, refreshments; Margaret McRobert, invitations; and Elsie Jensen, intro-ductions. During the present quarter the club has enjoyed an out-of-door program of picnics and hikes.

This club has increased in membership each year. The Seattle Club St. Valentine dance, given February 14, at the dining room at Eden's Hall was the one big club affair of the year. One Hundred Fifty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1925 - Page 157 ---------- Skagit Club Dear to the hearts of all those who hail from Skagit county, or who have resided there a year, is the Skagit Club. The club membership this year has totaled about thirty, and we are proud to say that our members have also been active in other activities of the school. The first meeting was held in November. At this time the following were elected to fill the offices of the club: Cora Starr, president; Helen Doran, vice-president; Ralph Miller, secretary-treasurer; Libby Dean, reporter. In January Dorothy Rosser was appointed to fill the office of secretary-treasurer because of Ralph Miller's absence from school. Once the club was organized, plans were made for a lively year. On January thirty-first, the club staged a Carnival dance which proved to be one of the biggest successes of the year. True carnival spirit prevailed. Later in the evening, Helen Hightower entertained with a group of feature dances. The patrons and patronesses for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Gunther, Miss Gragg, Mr. Arntzen and Mr. Kolstad. Much of the success of the dance may be attributed to the help given by Miss Gragg, sponsor of the club, and the chairmen of the respective committees. The spring quarter was made memorable for the club members by a splendid program of picnics and hikes, happy memories of which we carry away with us as we leave.

Secretary VERNE HANNAH Treasurer MIss MONTGOMERY . . . .Sponsor "There are hardships that nobody reckons; There are valleys unpeopled and still; There's a land-oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back-and I will." From this land of the North there is a group of people in the school who function under the name of the Sourdough Club. From a social standpoint, the club this year has achieved great success. One event which will long be remembered by the Sourdoughs is the Hallowe'en party given the early part of the fall quarter. In the Christmas program given by the various clubs of the school, one of the most successful features was the pre-sentation of a typical Alaskan scene by the Sourdough Club. During the winter quarter the fourth annual banquet was held at the Hotel Victoria. This banquet proved to be the largest and most delightful in the club's history.

ELIZABETH KRELL Messenger Reporter . . . . VELMA LE MASTER Faculty Adviser . EDWARD J. ARNTZEN The Tahoma Club was organized during the fall quarter of this year for the purpose of providing social contacts among the Normal students from Pierce County. Although in its youth, the club now has an approximate membership of fifty active students. The calendar of social events has included several hikes, among which were those to Whatcom Falls Park on January 24 and to the natural dry- dock February 15. A taffy pull, lively games, and dancing made the all-club get-together on February 27 a very enjoyable occasion. A spring ball given in April was enjoyed by the members and added much to the social life of this year. Several other events carried out were of interest to the members. The club has become popular with students and is growing rapidly. It promises to become one of the largest social clubs in the school. The sponsors are Miss Brooks, Miss Osborne and Miss Caseley. The club has as honorary members Mr. and Mrs. Marquis, Dr. and Mrs. Salisbury, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Miss Jones, Miss Mad-den and Miss Slawson.
