Although he has been here but one year, we claim that he is truly of Bellingham State Normal. ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page [x] ---------- . _ - F; **k . :. gt;. : .. ; ;;. ' ; .

The program of social events for the past year, including teas, mixers, and the dance given by the girls living eutside the dormitory, is in itself evi-dence of her interest. Her greatest undertaking, perhaps, was the organization of the Women's League, an association long needed by the women of the school. ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 14 ---------- OLIVE EDENS H. E. FOWLER M. BELLE SPERRY HORACE G. RAHSKOPF ANNETTE H. VAUCHAN VICTOR H. HOPPE English and Oral Expression Twenty-five courses in composition, short story novel, poetry, drama, and essay, including literature both American and English, are offered in various quar-ters of the school year. Composition and Methods are required, but hundreds of students each quarter elect other courses in the department. Many teachers, feeling the need of a cultural background and breadth of vision, specialize in English work. The Expression department included in the English work offers twelve courses in vocal training and dramatic interpretations. People especially interested in dramatics or debate find this department very helpful and interesting. The in-structors in both dramatics and debate are admirably fitted for their work and are a source of inspiration to their students. Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 15 ---------- IJ.11.fi.N D. BISSELL JOHN RRNAL M. W. HECKMAN LINDA COUNTRYMAN GERTRUDE LONGLEY Industrial Arts This department stresses a high degree of technical skill in woodwork and drawing. The following subjects are taught: Elementary Woodwork, Advanced Woodwork and Cabinent Making, Wood Turning, Wood Finishing, Organization and Administration of Industrial Education, Advanced Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drawing, Freehand, Perspective and Practice Teaching in the Training School. Every year many well-trained teachers are sent out. An extensive study is made of courses and equipments to be used in grade and high schools, for the best advancement of industrial work in the schools. .-- o- -- Home Economics The Home Economics Department is primarily planned for those who wish to teach Home Economics, but many courses are open as electives to other students in the school. Eight of the thirteen courses offered here are required for those who are special-izing in this department, including three methods courses. Advanced Cookery and Table Service is valuable to every girl. In this course the students actually prepare and serve luncheons, dinners, and teas, managing them and computing the costs. In the Dressmaking and Millinery courses the girls not only make pretty dresses and hats, but they also study correct dress, color harmony and combinations of materials. Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 16 ---------- MAEEL ZOE WILSON MARGARET ZURBRICK LILLIAN M. GEORGE MARY ELLEN RINGER Library The Library of the Bellingham State Normal is rated as one of the best in the Northwest. This is largely due to the work of the librarian who for many years has been collecting the best works in every subject for our library. The aim of the librarian has been to have such books as are adequate to meet the needs, aims, and interests of a teacher-training institution. Because teachers must have o;her knowledge in addition to professional knowledge, the library has devoted a large part of its twenty-eight thousand volumes and five thousand pam-phlets to history, art, literature, science, sociology, and other subjects. There are one hundred fifty magazines in the periodical rooms. These maga-zines have been carefully chosen to keep the students in close touch with contem-porary thought and action. The juvenile library is a training laboratory where students learn regular li-brary work. This library contains three thousand volumes of carefully chosen books for children. It is well patronized by the training school pupils. The fundamental aim of the librarian is to get these books into the hands of the students. No limit is placed on the number of books each student may take. One quarter of Library Instruction is required of first-year students so they can use the library intelligently. The aims of this course have been to teach students methods in libraries, the use of books, magazines, management of school 'libraries, and the choosing of good literature for children. The library is one of the main tools by which a teacher can become efficient. Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 17 ---------- MARIE CAREY DRUSE MRS. M. LANDIS STUART HAZEL PREAKEY MARIORIE D. JOHNSTON Art and Handicraft Department Here the aim is nothing less than the awakening of higher aspirations through the development of appreciation and enlarged observation of beauty in nature and art; also the cutivation of better possibilities of usefulness to others by an artistic use of the materials at hand. During the mid- year exhibit, visiting students took notes on the many useful devices that were displayed in four rooms where work suitable for pupils of all ages could be found; pretty little cutouts for the tiny tot; something for the boy; things too numerous to mention for the older pupils. Many a grown-up looked wistfully at the various shaped baskets with touches of color, *woven bags and runners, draperies, decorative designs and many other charming accessories for the home. Most worthy of mention was the exhibit in March when work done by the Studio Art Club predominated. Easels and screens were draped with the depart- ment's most colorful draperies, batik and textiles of various weaves as a background for the creations in water color, charcoal, crayon and pastel. Cunning baskets ap-peared in many places; bright-bordered table-runners found appropriate places, and at a well-appointed table, tea was poured and served by members of the Art Club. It is from this department that the student teacher will go into some remote community with clever hands and an appreciation of beauty, and will recognize in children the possibility to develop mind and soul by awakening his aesthetic powers, or bring happiness to those who are passing with senses closed to nature's loveliness. Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 18 ---------- iL. r . LOmn JOHN r. CASKEY W. J. RICE MAY G. LOVEGREN GEORGIA POWELL GRAGG Department of Mathematics and Business Education Under the direction of Mr. Bond, various courses in mathematics are offered, which include everything from Review Arithmetic to Elementary and Advanced Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. Classes in History of Arithmetic and Phil-osophy of Arithmetic as well as methods for intermediate and grammar grades are given. The success of those trained in the business department is largely due to the fact that the instructors take the natural ability, initiative, and power of the student and develop these to the highest point of efficiency. The courses offered are Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Business English, Typing, Business Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Spelling, and Penmanship. A student wishing to have Shorthand count toward graduation must complete at least eight hours of work in that subject. The student who presents Bookkeeping or Typing in fulfillment of the Group Elective must complete at least eight hours of work in the subject, but either may count toward graduation as a free elective of four hours. This department is equipped with a Burroughs adding and listing machine, the Monroe calculating machine, which is wonderful in scope and simplicity of operation, and an A. B. Dick duplicating machine. Special instruction in the use of these machines will be given to any who wish to fit themselves for the special lines of work in which they are used. Mrs. May Lovegren handles the extension work in addition to her duties in this department. Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 19 ---------- IRVING E. MILLER, Ph. D. DELIA L. KEELER L. A. KIILE FRANK S. SALISBURY WILLIAM J. MARQUIS The Education Department The Education Department, which is really the nucleus of a Normal school, covers the following fields: Psychology, Child Study, Observation and Methods, Rural Education, School Law and School Management, Principles and History of Education, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, and School Administra-tion. In these various lines about thirty different courses a year are given, dis-tributed through the four years of the college course. During the four quarters, about four thousand students are enrolled in classes in this department. The ideals of the department call for highly trained teachers, specialization of instruction, and sharp focusing of the work on the problem of teacher training. Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 20 ---------- MRS. L. A. GAUL ANNA ULLIN Foreign Language At present French and Spanish are stressed in the Foreign Language depart-ment, though Latin and German are sometimes given. A variety of courses are offered, so that both beginning students and advanced students may find work every quarter along this line. For beginners, Elementary French and Spanish are given. The direct method is used, in which pronunciation and idioms are particularly noticed. Advanced classes in composition, grammar, and literature, as well as special courses in pho-netics are offered. Special methods classes are given for those who expect to teach language in Junior High school. Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 21 ---------- JESSIE AMES BELTON HARRISON RAYMOND JOHN ROY WILLIAMS ETHEL GARDNER Music The Department of Music offers instruction in piano, stringed instruments, and voice training besides the courses in the method of public school music. As prerequisites to these latter subjects, sight singing and fundamentals of music are given. Students have also been able to take electives in History of Music, Har-mony, Conducting, and Appreciation. Besides the music that is taught in all grades in the training school, the Girls' Clef Club of the Training School has been organized. Both Normal and training school orchestras have proved successful and are great favorites at assemblies. Among the musical activities are the Clef Club, which has for its membership twenty-four selected women; the Men's Glee Club, also of selected membership; and a Normal Quartet, composed of women, and a Double Male Quartet. Twenty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 22 ---------- JAMES M. BEVER NORA B. CUMMINGS NORMAN P. LAWSON THOS. F. HUNT History and Social Science This department covers a wide range of knowledge which up-to-the-minute teachers must know if they would bÂ° community leaders. Instructors in these sub-jects teach that all subjects should be presented in relation to their bearing upon the problems of today. The history courses embrace all phases of European and American history, in-cluding the World War period. Courses in history method are offered each quarter, covering important points in presentation. In social science, courses are offered in principles of sociology, rural sociology, social problems, economics, community civics, comparative government, commercial and political geography. Interesting courses for electives are offered from time to time: as, Northwest History, Geography of Asia, and Reconstruction of Europe. Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 23 ---------- HI-.

HEADRICK Science and Physical Education The Science department has four well-equipped laboratories affording excel-lent facilities for teaching of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Hygiene, Nature Study, and Agriculture. It has a three and one-half inch astronomical tele-scope, which is used in courses in Introduction to Science and Nature Study. This department aims to give direct preparation for the teaching of Hygiene, Agriculture, Nature Study, and Elementary General Science in the elementary schools and high schools of the state. It also serves to enrich the scientific background of a student. The Physical Education department, with Miss Long as head for girls and Mr. Carver for boys, aims to give methods in teaching athletics as well as to training the students themselves. Courses offered in this department include such methods courses as Coaching, Plays and Games, Marching Tactics, and Schoolroom Gymnastics. Elementary and Advanced Folk Dancing are given, as well as Aesthetic Dancing. Swimming is now required of all girls, making a total of four hours' gym work required for grad- uation. Practice Teaching may be given in this department to those who are special-izing in Physical Education. Students are given health examinations upon entrance and secure the services of a nurse and physician throughout the year. Closely allied to this department are the two athletic clubs of the school, the "W" club for men and the W. A. A. for women. Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page [24] ---------- a Kyoto 1017 arY i~ : , ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 25 ---------- Training School While many think that the whole purpose of the Training School is the practice afforded student teachers, it has another aim also. This is the education of the pupils in the school for citizenship in the social situations which they encounter in school and later life. The work carried on in this department is intended to be along those lines which will best fit both teachers and pupils to meet situations as they find them in life and to make the proper response. The aim is not to cover just so many pages in a text book, but to provide experiences for the student which will have a real value in his later life. Among the activities connected with the Training School are the orchestra, a girl's glee club, a health club and athletic teams. These and others of a similar nature afford the best possible teaching in co-operation and good citizenship. The student teacher receives practical training in the schoolroom and learns how to handle many of the situations which arise in the work. As soon as the training teachers consider that the student teacher is capable of handling the daily routine, they leave the responsibility upon her, so that she develops initiative and confidence in her own ability. The training teachers are always ready and anxious to help solve any of the difficulties which may arise. The aim of both training teachers and student teachers is to instruct in such a way as to develop the initiative and resourcefulness of the pupils to the highest possible degree.

OLSLAGER MARGARET McKINNON Office Force The office force is one of the busiest groups of people at the school. There is always something for each one to do. If their regular duties do not keep them busy, and often when they do, students and faculty alike enter the office and ask for varied bits of information. The appointment office is always busy placing graduates in positions. This work demands a great deal of time and labor. Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 27 ---------- Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 28 ---------- Third and Fourth Year Class This is the second year that the Third and Fourth year classes have had any organization of any kind. Up to the year beginning in 1922 no attempt at organiza-tion had been made, because there were practically no students here who had done more than two years' work above the high school. However, there has been some agitation in the direction of making this institution a normal college, and to this end the upper classes have been organized under the name of the Senior College Group. In the fall quarter Chester Hume was elected president of the group. With the able guidance of the sponsor, Doctor Miller, and the willing support of his committees, in Mr. Hume's administration plans for future work of the class were made, and, as far as possible, were carried out. During the fall and winter quarters the class gained in membership and in prestige, and in the spring quarter there were about forty-five members in the group. The class is represented in practically every phase of the life of the school, and all its members are a credit to the institution. Although small in numbers, the enthusiasm and ambition of the class are boundless, and their plans and achievements worthy of praise. It is the hope of the Senior College Group that this Normal School will soon include in its curriculum subjects which will entitle it to be ranked along with the other colleges of the Northwest.

EDGAR HANNAH Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 31 ---------- Sophomore Class It was the opening day of the fall quarter, and students were to be seen in all parts of the halls, hurriedly rushing hither and thither; some with blank cards, some with books, many with bewildered expressions on wondering countenances. Yet here and there were individuals, singly or in groups, who were conspicuous by their apparent self-confidence, by their calm, direct bearing. Their firm step, their business-like manner was distinctive. All in all it was an attitude which unmistakably revealed their identity-Sophomores. Diversions at the beginning of a school year are many and varied. Yet the business-like attitude of the Sophomores soon asserted itself and on October 18 they assembled in the auditorium to form a class organization. John O'Rourke, past president, called the meeting to order. An election was held and the following officers were chosen to serve for the fall quarter: ROBERT CAULKINS President MRS. CARVER . Vice-President VERA JENKINS . Secretary CLYDE BURMASTER. . . Treasurer The Sophomores gave their first party the evening of November 1, and in keeping with the season it was a holiday masquerade; spooks and goblins were the order of the evening and the Hallowe'en spirit was accentuated by the strange costumes and weird lighting. Witches, black cats, masks-then the strains of a prize waltz. Thus the Sophomores early demonstrated to the school that they could turn a usual ordinary affair into something unusual, unique and characteristic. November 13, the president called to order a meeting of the sophomore class. It soon would have become apparent to anyone that it was an unusual class meeting. Distinctive, appealing talks were made by several members of the class. Several other people who were not members of the sophomore class, but who were representative people in school, had also been invited to speak. And they too, brought their message. The whole meeting represented an effort to bring out the urgent problems, not alone of the sophomore class, but of the school as a whole. On December 11 President Caulkins called a well attended meeting to order. In a short snappy manner the business at hand was finished. Don Tunstall was elected to serve as the sophomore representative on the Klipsun Board. The meeting was now turned over to the program committee and the class enjoyed a short talk by Betty Riley and readings by Helen Cummins and Dewey Bowman. Thirty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 32 ---------- December 15, another one of those inimitable sophomore parties was given. When school closed for the Christmas recess, fifty sophomores were lost to the school through graduation. They chose not to have the usual graduation ceremony. They left us as quietly as they came, without ostentation, without show; and they will do their chosen work in the same manner, quietly, modestly and well. The Christmas holidays were over and once more school activities were resumed. January 10 the Sophomores met to elect officers for the new quarter. The class chose the following members: CLYDE BURMASTER President DON TUNSTALL .Vie-President ELEANOR WHISNER Secretary KATIE JENKINS Treasurer February 29 the Sophomores held a class party in the gymr_asium. March 5 the class met to transact various sundry business. Following that was a short program, consisting of a vocal solo by Miss Hendrickson and readings by Miss Parsons and Clyde Cole. Two weeks later class activities were interrupted by the termination of the quarter and beginning of spring recess. Again fifty Sophomores were lost to the school and to the class through graduation. And again they chose to leave quietly, without the formality or the ceremony of the customary graduation exercises. March 28 school reconvened for the third quarter of the year-and what is for the Sophomores-the busiest quarter. Many things remain to be done in that last quarter before graduation-things for the school, things for the class, things for one's self; the usual lessons to prepare, requirements to fulfill, the usual number of school activities to participate in, pertinent matters of class to attend to so the subsequent class may begin where it stopped, without any encumbrances, acquaintanceship to be developed to friendship, friendship to be cemented to everlasting bonds of affection. All these causes, and more, contribute toward making the final quarter for the Sophomore, his busiest-and yet most enjoyable. And then comes the last final week; the hurried and flurried rush and excitement of commencement; anticipations, expectations; the night of commencement-the diploma-and the Sophomore is a graduate. The sophomore class has been together perhaps for the last time. And yet its spirit will not die. Next year its members will be scattered far and wide, doing their various work. They will be in Alaska, in its coast towns and inland villages. They will be in Hawaii. They will be in Washington. They will be in Montana. They will be everywhere, and wherever they go they will take with them memories and impressions of the school where they received their training, of the class of which they were a part. Each recurrence of an impression will be a rebirth; and each moment of lingering over a fond memory will be a renewal of the Sophomore class. And in that way the sophomore class is not at an end, but really only just beginning.

Puffing forth violet, Wild rose, and mignonette- Ah, I breathe them yet, Silent old incense man. Making my room a maze, Each door a thousand ways, It would take nights and days To find my way out. Fashioning with facility Geniis that rise stealthily And look down at me, With wistful sad eyes. Under your magic spell I've heard a wedding bell Grow faint, and swell In the still night. Once, in your foggy breath I saw grim-eyed Death And my lovely Elinor . I kissed her once, once, no more. Silent old incense man Of oriental clan, Smoking incessantly, What dreams you have brought me. Fifty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 60 ---------- SII i - Freshman Class We, the class of '25, who so solemnly entered the portals of Bellingham State Normal school in the fall of 1923 and set out to sail over the Sea of Victories with Henry Hoffman as captain; Vivian Holcombe, first mate; Catherine Watts, second mate, and Milton Blonden, purser, wish to declare this will and testament: Be it known that because of our great size we were divided into three groups for our parties, but we nevertheless became well acquainted and made many true friends: - That when those at the helm were changed, Dick Bruland, Mike Thorniley, Catherine Watts and Milton Blonden were put in charge of the ship of the class of '25. And let it be known that all served faithfully. It is true that we entered men into every activity in the school; that one of us captained the football boys; that others edited and managed the Messenger and Klipsun; that a goodly number debated for the honor of the school; that both the Men's and Women's organizations were led by our classmates; that some among us are classed with those of great musical ability; that the drama is supported by Freshman talent; and that the Tulip Queen was chosen from our ranks. We who, as hereby stated, have been so wealthy in all possible class posses-sions, desire to bequeath to all classes following that same spirit of good will, enthusiasm and sportsmanship that has so greatly filled us. To the instructors of our institution we wish to give our sincere thanks for their good and faithful teach-ing. And to the school as a whole we wish to say that whatever we may have given, that was a benefit, was given gladly; and that for the knowledge which we have gained we are grateful. It is our desire, now that the ship of the class of '25 will soon cast anchor at the end of the voyage of its first year, to wish for those who are about to set out again in a journey of their own, that success and happiness may be theirs. Be it thus known that herein are stated the wishes of the class of '25. CONSTANCE M.

Miss Marjorie McIntire, who was queen this year, is a Freshman. She was chosen by a committee of students and faculty from a group of eight girls, anyone of whom would have been charming in the role. Miss Aletta Day, this year a student at Normal, was elected when she was at- tending a local high school. She reigned over the 1922 festivities. Miss Mabel Hickson, of Sedro Woolley, was the candidate of the Normal in 1923. This year the marchers of the Normal were adjudged to be the best school delegation and took first prize in the school section, for float and marchers. The float was designed by the Art Department and was made by students in the art classes. The Tulip Festival had its beginning five years ago, when a group of promi-nent business men of Bellingham conceived the idea of making this city famous as "Tulip Town." The idea of the "tulip" arose naturally from the fact that the only government bulb farm was located in Bellingham. The climate and soil of this vicinity being extremely favorable for the cultivation of tulips, all residents and schools were urged to plant as many bulbs as possible. Interest was heightened by the offer of loving cups for the best displays and by the annual blossom show. The festival has grown and become so well known that many hundreds of visitors from all over the Northwest come to see the celebration. S:xty-five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 66 ---------- THOMAS WHITE RANKIN BOND SELBY GRAGG Board of Control With the exception of three members, the Board of Control which met for the last time at the close of the winter quarter was made up of entirely new members from those elected in the spring. Of those seven original members, which were Maurice Thomas, president; Leland Rankin, vice-president; Mrs. Carl Irish, Mr. Charles Simonsen and Mr. John O'Rourke, student representatives, Mr. E. A. Bond, and Miss Delia Keeler, faculty representatives, only Mr. Bond, Mr. O'Rourke and Mr. Simonsen remained. In spite of the many and varied changes in the personnel of the Board, a great deal of real work was accomplished. The plans for the athletic games were well considered. Especially to be remembered was the dedication of Waldo Field on November 9. This Board also spent many weary hours in the framing of a new constitution and by-laws in which some new ideals were incorporated for the Students' Association. The Board did not neglect the social side of school life for they planned many interesting mixers and programs, two of which will long be remembered, the Christmas program and the Armory dance. The last work accomplished by this Board was the institution of a new commission for the furthering of the development of Normal-Stad and other Student Association property. One thing that marked the meetings of this Board at all times was the spirit of co-operation and good fellowship in which their work was done. The presence of the President of the Normal School at the meetings was a great factor for harmony and smooth working power and tended to promote unity. Sixty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 67 ---------- BAUCRMAN LUND LINDSTEDT CEDE'RIERG BLACK Student's Co-Op Starting back in 1908 on a small basis, the Student's Co-op has enjoyed a steady growth until now it is equipped to furnish students with all the necessary school supplies and accessories, at reasonable prices. The students are able to enjoy the advantages of a large bookstore inside our own walls. Mr. Baughman, the manager, has been with the Co-op almost from its begin-ning, and it has been through his earnest efforts that the store has reached its present success. Mr. Baughman believes in low prices and prompt, courteous service. Students and teachers appreciate the efficient service rendered by Mr. Baugh-man and his assistants, Mrs. Edith L. Black, Miss Ruth C. Lund, Mr. Oscar H. Lindstedt, and Mr. Theodore Cederberg. Sixty- seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 68 ---------- Again great credit is due to our splendid coach, Horace G. Rahskopf, who spent his time untiringly working with teams so that they might be victorious for their Alma Mater. The debate season this year is one to be remembered. With the exception of three people all members of the teams were new, but despite this fact, under the splendid coaching, teams were perfected and the season ended with a record of seven debates with six victories and the winning of the Allison Cup for the second successive year. This year keener interest than ever before was displayed in forensics, and with this season's record future work is expected to be even more successful. Because of a clash in questions the intended tour of the Pacific Coast was not made. However, next year it is planned to train the teams on only one question, thus making it possible to make the tour. BELLINGHAM-BADGER DUEL DEBATE Resolved: That the Supreme Court shall not be allowed to declare a law unconstitutional unless seven of nine judges concur in the decision. Bellingham, Affirmative 3 Badger 0 Bellingham, Negative 3 Badger . 0 Tuesday .morning, February 19, at the regular assembly hour, the first debate of the season was held. Mr. Arnold and Mr. Berolski upheld the affirmative. They based their arguments on the grounds that the power held by the Supreme Court is too great, and showed that where there is only a five-four decision there is a doubt as to the actual constitutionality of a law. The present method, they proved, is undemocratic and not logical. The negative failed to meet these points satisfactorily. Sixty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 69 ---------- S:wty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 70 ---------- INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE Bellingham, Affirmative 2 Ellensburg 1 Bellingham, Negative 2 Cheney . . . 1 In the contest between the three Normal Schools of the state, the negative of each team again debated away from home. Bellingham's team went to Ellens-burg, Ellensburg to Cheney, and Cheney to Bellingham. All three debates were held on the evening of March 6. On the home floor the affirmative team, upheld by Miss Arnell, Mr. Griffith and Mr. Simonson, proved superior both in organization of facts and delivery. Their arguments were based on there being too much power at present, and that a bare majority such as five to four is not a sufficient number to declare any law unconstitutional. Nine of the most recent five to four decisions were cited and it was shown that a doubt existed in these decisions, therefore declaring unconstitutional laws which would have been beneficial to the country. The negative failed to meet these and other arguments in rebuttal, losing by a two to one decision. Those who made the first trip to Ellensburg were Miss Arnell, Miss Loers and Mr. Arnold. There the team was again far superior both in delivery and logic to the Ellensburg trio. They based their arguments on the grounds that the Supreme Court is the supreme power of the land and is a body composed of men who know the best. They took nine of the most recent five .to four decisions and showed how these were unconstitutional, and, had they l;een passed, how they would have been harmful to the country. The affirmative did not prove their case conclusively enough, thereby losing to the Bellingham team by a two to one decision. The tie debate was held again at Cheney with the same teams, with the exception of one member on each team. Due to a sudden illness on the part of Miss Loers, Miss Arnell was chosen in her place, and again the team left with high hopes for another victory which would mean the Blue and White for the second year could claim the Allison Cup. On the evening of March 18 the teams met. But fate was with the Blue and White. So perfect was the organization of material and delivery that the affirmative could not find a flaw in our machine-like team, and again Cheney failed to meet our arguments, losing to the Alma Mater with a two to one decision. This ended the inter- triangular series, making Bellingham again holder of the much coveted cup. The Allison Cup is a trophy offered by Guy S. Allison to stimulate interest in forensics among the Normal Schools of the state. Mr. Allison is a graduate of Bellingham Normal, and is now engaged in business in San Francisco, Cali- fornia, and in Portland. Under the terms of the inter-Normal debate agreement, the school winning the cup for three successive years is entitled to hold it perm-anently. According to these terms Bellingham has only one more year to win the cup until it will be the proud possessor. S v-zenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 71 ---------- LINFIELD-DUEL DEBATE Resolved: That the Federal Government should establish a farmer's national co-operative marketing association for the purpose of the distribution of farm products. Bellingham, Affirmative . 0 Linfield . 3 Bellingham, Negative . 2 Linfield . 1 At the morning assembly hcur, Friday, March 28, a negative team composed of two women representing Linfield College of McMinnville, Oregon, met Belling-ham's affirmative team composed of Miss Hibner and Mr. Clapp on the home floor. The negative team presented arguments and facts in such a manner that the home team was unable to match them. By quoting the Tea Pot Dome act, the negative showed that the Government was inefficient to handle such an undertaking. Their delivery was conceded to be the best ever heard from a visiting team. On the evening of the same day a team composed of Lorena Wiester and Stanford Clinton, upholding the negative of the same question, met Linfield's affirmative team at McMinnville. The negative based their arguments on the grounds that such an association is unnecessary, that it would not do the needed work, that such an association would cause either still more unfair competition, or it would become a monopolistic association, which is contrary to the policy of our government, and that the people would be taxed to support something that would not be beneficial to the whole country. The affirmative failed to meet these objections, thereby losing to the negative by a two to one decision. Thus with this record ended the debate season of 1924.

FROSH 6 This was the only out--of- town game. The Frosh continually put in new men in an effort to stop the Viking machine. The locals started their counting in the first few minutes, when on the third down McPherson broke away for a sixty yard run, carrying the ball to the two-yard line. Bruland took it over. A pass from Graham to "Keppy" netted the second touchdown. In the last quarter Beardsley went across for the third touchdown. The Frosh scored once, when Delaney received a punt and took the ball down the field for their only score. The line-up--Dawson, L. E.; Goodman, L. T.; Bartsch, L. G.; Lindstedt, C.; Knowlton, R.

VIKINGS 20 - ELLENSBURG 3 The Vikings again proved their superiority by the decisive defeat of Ellens-burg, November 16. The Crimson and Black played a hard game but came out with the short end of a 20-3 score. It was a proper christening for Waldo Field, dedicated on this date. During the first quarter Wilder went through for the first score. With gains from Beardsley, Graham and Wilder the second touchdown was made. The local backfield again went across in the fourth quarter. Robinson, Ellensburg, drop-kicked from the forty yard line for the easterner's solo. VIKINGS 27 - CHENEY 13 In the big Turkey Day game the Viking squad added another victory to their string when they defeated the Cheney Savages. Playing real football, the Vikings had Cheney helpless. Wilder, with excellent help from his mates, took the ball across for three touchdowns. Bruland went across once for a pretty one. Cheney scored twice as a result of blocked punts.

However the lighter and smaller Blue and White tossers showed the Cheney Savages a hard fight in the return mix, outpointing Cheney in the second half though unable to overcome their lead gained in the first half. For the season total the Viking squad scored 370 points to their opponents 313. "Maurie' Thomas was high score man. The line-up is as follows: Forwards-Graham, Thomas, Vanderford.

HANNAH 1923 Tennis In the Tennis Finals of the summer of 1923, Edgar Hannah took the tourna-ment championship by default of Alvan Hannah, his brother. Miss Lou Fowler won the girls' championship. She was opposed in the finals by Irene Phillips. The mixed doubles, in which Louis Anderson and Beatrice Norton played opposite Edgar Hannah and Irene Phillips, was won by the former pair. Other strong contestants who were eliminated from the finals earlier in the tournament were Gordon Broadbent, C. Haeske, L. Keplinger, E. Keplinger, and R. Tunstal.

Eighty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 84 ---------- S ATIIIITK U-O0 Miss FRANK, Instructor in Physical Education Girls' Coach Miss Frank has instilled in the girls the desire for clean play at all times; to enter into the game for the fun of it, and not merely for the object of winning. She advocates love of sports for sports' sake, the mark of the true sportsman being his ability to accept defeat in the same spirit as he accepts victory. Miss Frank has taught the girls teamwork and the value of good comradeship. Eighty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 85 ---------- Basketball Basketball turnouts were large from the first, the Sophomores having only a few less than the Freshmen. After some preliminary work, the girls plunged into the game. They worked hard, turning out two nights a week. Early in March the teams were chosen for the Kline Cup games. As the class teams are the only teams the girls are allowed to make as yet, they were as anxious to play their best as if they had made a first team. Sometime they hope to have the honor of representing the Normal on a first team. The first Kline Cup game was played March 4, at Whatcom High school, as a preliminary to the Normal-Spokane College game. This was a fast, clean game, and good teamwork was displayed on both sides. The score was one-sided through-out the game, the Sophomores leading by a wide margin. The Freshmen seemed unable to check the speedy teamwork of their opponents. At the end of the game the score stood 39-11 in favor of the Sophomores. The second game was played March 11, at Normal. This was a hard-fought and exciting game. With the addition of Alice Barber, the Freshmen rallied and held the Sophomores to close, fast playing. The score hesitated, first favoring the Sophs, and then the Frosh. In the last few minutes of play the Frosh got the edge on the Sophs, and when the game ended, the tally was 33-32 in favor of the Fresh-men. The third game was played March 17, at Normal. This game was the final and deciding game for the cup. At the beginning there was considerable loose playing until the girls settled down; then they played a good brand of basketball. The Sophs came back in this game and, aided by splendid teamwork and accurate shoot-ing, they won by a score of 41-22. The class of '24 has had the honor of winning the cup twice, as they were successful in their Freshman year. Four of the Frosh team of last year played on this year's Sophomore team. Edna McKelvey F.

MILDRED JOHNSON-Guard Mildred played on the defensive side of the game and won h r place on the team by her close guarding and quick passing. EDNA MCKELVEY-Forward Edna was good at eluding her guard, and in piling up the score for the Freshman team. MRS. HELEN HANNAH-Forward The other half of the Freshman forward machinery. A good, steady player and always on the job. Eighty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 88 ---------- Volleyball Following the close of the basketball seascn the girls began playing volleyball. When the weather permitted they played outside, thus enjoying the spring weather and the game at the same time. The Tulip Festival delayed the Sophomores and Freshmen in playing off their game, but they met at the close of the first six weeks. Both classes had worked up good teams and the game proved very exciting. 0 Baseball The last six weeks of the spring quarter the girls played baseball out of doors. A great deal of promising material turned out both for the Sophomores and the Freshmen. Miss Frank is coaching the Sophomore girls, while Mrs. Foster has the Freshmen squad. A lively game between the two teams is expected by the end of the season. - - -- - Field Hockey This, a new sport to most of the girls, was introduced this spring. Many girls who did not care about the other sports have shown a great deal of interest and turned out in force for hockey. The athletic girls of the school received it enthusiastically also, and any day, a group of girls might be seen on Waldo field, learning the game. The Freshmen are turning out and learning the rud'ments of the game under the capable instruction of Mrs. Foster, while the Sophcmores are receiving the same instruction from Miss Frank. The coaches hope to have two teams whipped into shape by the end of the season so the Sophomore and Freshmen may have a game of field hockey. This sport is well liked by the girls and will probably become a major sport in the school. Eighty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 89 ---------- Waldo Field For many years Bellingham Normal has been handicapped by lack of a good athletic field and gymnasium facilities. In spite of this fact, the teams sent out by the school have always been of a high standard. One of these handicaps was removed this year by the completion of Waldo Field. It is named in honor of Pres. D. B. Waldo, who was instrumental in providing the school with an up-to-date athletic field. Dedication exercises were held on November 16, 1923.

Ninety-two TUNSTALL ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 93 ---------- Weekly Messenger The Messenger Staff this year has been operating on a progressive policy. Several new departments have been added, and better arrangement throughout the paper has resulted from the staff's co-operative efforts in the make-up department. During the first quarter, after many lengthy discussions, the class in journalism decided to change the entire appearance of their product by adopting the regular newspaper form and stock in preference to the former four-column magazine style. The members of the staff appreciated very much the aid of the faculty and students, who offered such valuable suggestions for improvement at the time the questionnaire was put before them. An advanced class in journalism, beginning the third quarter, made it possible to have a group working together who had had former experience, and who knew something about the details of newspaper duties. The classes in English com-position lightened the duties of the reporters by contributing many of the shorter news items, thus giving all the more time to spend in the printing shop on make-up. The Anniversary number, published April 25th, contained a four-page supple-ment. This issue, which was the result of the best work of the staff, attempted to depict the standards and advantages of the Normal to the various schools, educators and alumni into whose hands it fell. Warner Poyhonen acted as editor the first two quarters, and John O'Rourke filled the position of advertising manager. When Mr. O'Rourke left at the begin-ning of the third quarter, Mr. Poyhonen succeeded him as manager, and Mr. Harry Appleton became editor. Much credit is due Mrs. Ruth A. Hussey, whose enthusiasm was responsible for the addition of the course in advanced journalism to the curriculum of the school, and whose criticism and help were invaluable to the publication. Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 94 ---------- GRIFFI N PAKAR LUCAS LINESLEY Quartet This musical organization has been in existence for some years, and has proved to be one of the greatest and most useful assets to the school. It has been under the leadership of Miss Jessie Ames Belton for the past two years. The quartet makes four or more public appearances each quarter and at the end of the three quarters, each member is awarded an honorary pin from the Associated Student Body. This year the club started out Very nicely, but right in the midst of their en-thusiasm over their new work, Miss Leap Year stepped in with interruptions. Miss Marion Warner, the second soprano, took the fatal step and left a vacancy which was soon filled by Miss Polly Mock, who in turn gave place to Miss Marie Pakar. The third quarter, Mrs. Edna Schumacker Griffin, the first soprano, accepted a position in Centralia and left another vacancy which was filled by Miss Marion Eager, the first soprano of last year. In spite of the many handicaps the quartet has had this year, they have done some splendid work, and altogether have had a most successful season. Ninety-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 95 ---------- Normal Orchestra With the largest membership in Normal orchestra history, the school orchestra under the direction of John R. Williams has, in the past year, proved itself un-surpassed in quality as well as in quantity. Having twenty-seven pieces, including piano, violin, cello, saxaphones, trombone, cornet, clarinet, oboe, and drums, this organization has had a prominent place in student activities. Besides presenting a program in assembly and entertaining at the plays, the orchestra has appeared in the Music department recital, in a program at the State Teachers' convention, and before high school assemblies. Great credit is due Mr. Williams for his splendid direction of the orchestra, for it has been an organization of which the Normal may well be proud, Ninety-five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 96 ---------- Girl's Clef Club ALICE KAUFFMAN President MARION WARNER . . . . . . Vice-President FLORENCE LUCAS . . Secretary and Treasurer GLADYS Goss Librarian The Clef Club is composed of twenty-four selected women's voices. It is not only a credit organization, but is also a credit to the school. This year the Clef Club has appeared several times before the students, besides broadcasting a musical program over the radiophone. It also took a prominent part in the annual Music department concert given at the end of the second quarter. We feel that in many respects the club has had a more successful season this year than ever before. This is partly due to the hearty endeavor of each girl in the club and to the untiring efforts of our director, Miss Jessie Ames Belton. We feel that the Clef Club is successfully carrying out its aim of setting a higher stan-dard for music in our school. Niney -six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 97 ---------- Men's Glee Club The Men's Glee Club has had a successful year under the capable leadership of Mr. Harrison T. Raymond. Great gains have been made in numbers and in in-terest. The club has grown from the quartet of last year to a chorus of sixteen voices. This was the first musical organization of the school to appear before the assembly, with a program on November 2. The club took a prominent part in the Music department program on St. Patrick's Day, and sang for the Washington Federated Music Clubs on March 18. The club has been limited in its work by the fact that many of the members have had no previous experience, and that none of them have had vocal training; but in spite of these limitations, a creditable showing has been made.

And in such a strange place! The prospector wore his thirty-five years as if it were an age, and all because the last seven of that thirty-five had been spent hunting gold. He had panned the dirt in a thousand streams, and he had picked at quartz leads all over Idaho. He had even dug a shaft in one place, but never had he found success--and now to stumble upon it in a place like this! Above him for a mile and a half was a chaos of granite boulders which looked as if they had been spilled at the top and had scattered like corn from an overturned bucket clear to the lake below. Only where he stood a ledge of quartz had withstood the onslaught, and in that quartz was-gold! When it had become so dark that he could no longer see, he relinquished his pick and sought his burro and pack. He was not aware that he burned his bacon; he stared into the flames and saw gold. He built his bed on the murmuring beach and gazed toward a million stars but saw gold. Dawn came across the lake, all shimmering silver and pink. He rose and climbed to the ledge but saw only gold. For days gold was his pleasure, his thoughts, his life. Weeks passed. When necessity demanded, he left his gold to kill a deer or to fish along the lake at the mouths of hurrying streams. Partridge were plentiful. The first huckleberries were already ripe. His hoard of gold beneath the great granite boulder below the ledge had grown to goodly proportions. Then while moving some rocks, he started a little rock slide. It was small, and it did no damage; but he stood aghast at the idea it brought. What if the thousands of tons of granite boulders should slide? What if his work should start them? He did no more work that day. There was no way to avert the possible disaster. The vein led back under the rock slide, and it was growing richer. Props would break like matches. Perhaps he had better stop work. He had enough to keep him comfortably and more. But the ever-increasing vein of gold held him, and he worked on. Each day he thought that tomorrow he would move his hoard and stop work-tomorrow. July passed; August, September found him toiling on at the ever-richening vein. He worked in a little cave that he had dug beneath the quartz ledge. Above the quartz ledge the giant boulders lay waiting-waiting. in the quartz a little crack grew gradually wider. The man enlarged his cave; the crack yawned wider. Steadily it grew-a tiny fraction of an inch-a quarter -a half. It caught his eye. Fascinated, he gazed-wider-wider. He staggered out to the giant boulder that hid his gold hoard. The quartz crushed down; the boulders poised above, motionless like a cat before its prey. He struggled with his gold, weakly-they leaped into terrific life! A trapper found a shaggy burro, a poorly constructed camp, a few specimens of very rich ore, a little path that led from the camp to the edge of a fresh rock slide-nothing more. One Hundred . V ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 101 ---------- The Spring Caravan Second Prize Poem BY GEORGE SHERMAN Has no one seen the long caravan Of the gypsy man? 'Tis strange The sap has dripped from the maple trees Till the buckets are full, and the skis Have been stored away in a dusty room With my ice skates and Grandma's loom. The snow has left the turnpike bare, And the breath of Spring is in the air, And the March wind with a tyrant's eye Has driven the clouds across the sky Like ships with sails unfurled to the sea, And the husky voice of the brook Has sung of the world's new imagery- But I stand alone on the turnpike And look For the gypsy man and his long caravan, For that is the sign of Spring to me. Has no one seen the long caravan Of the gypsy man? I have-- They came over the hill at the close of day And made their camp along the highway, And thru the hours of the still spring night The turnpike glowed with the luminous light Of their fires. And their violins brought down The stars on the gray-canvassed town; And their lusty voices joined in a dance That brought dreams of lace and wild romance, Of a wandering people skilled in everything- In cards and tea-cups and lines of palms . . Where was a canvassed city are smouldering Fires; naught else, you say? But I beg No alms, For the gypsy man and his long caravan Have left me smouldering fires and Spring. One Hundred One ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 102 ---------- The Heart of Jim (Honorable Mention) By VADA MORFITT Undoubtedly Jim Randall was the ugliest man living. He had the look of an over-tall tree, with all its branches at the top. His arms dangled, and the waist band of his blue jean trousers perched jauntily on one hip. His neck was long and scrawny, his hair a riotous mass of flaming redness. But in atone-ment, Nature had given him the soul of a poet. Susan Petridge, spinster, kept the little post office in Bridgeport, and I always stayed with her during my brief vacation. Summer boarders were her specialty. How Susan despised Jim. Her clean, well-regulated mind could not tolerate physical laziness, especially when it went hand in hand with physical uncleanliness. Somehow I liked Jim. He used to bring his poems for me to read, and we had many an interesting talk. He was a lonely fellow. One day Jim got a paper through the mail. Later more papers came and many letters. He seemed preoccupied, and I worried about him fearing he was in trouble of some sort. Several weeks passed and I scarcely saw him. The letters kept coming. Then one day Jim came in with a hearty stride; his homely face beamed with joy. "Well, Miss, it's happened." "But what, Jim?" "Ah! She said she'd come; an' Ma'am, she's a beauty!" He drew out a letter and a much bedraggled picture, and handed them to me. The letter was on cheap paper, written in round school-girl hand. It read: "Dear Mr. Randall: I've thought about you and your proposition a good bit. I've decided to come if you still want me. I'm not very strong or pretty, but I'm willing and I'll do my best by you. I'm awful lonesome here and I've never seen any outdoors 'cept the park. I bet it's grand. You can count on me getting there next Wednesday. "Yours truly, "Mary Sidney." The letter made me want to cry and the picture was nothing less than pathetic, with its tired young-old face, watery eyes, lips that turned downward, and such an expression of meekness. Jim seemed to fear I was displeased and said quickly, "You see, Miss, I answered a matrimonial ad. Me an' this lady has been corres-pondin' reg'lar now for about a month. We'll be married over to the Parks. I kinda thought you'd maybe help me to fix up my old shack afore she gits here. It ain't no kind o' place to take a lady." Wednesday came as even long- planned days do. Jim was all prettied-up and waiting long before stage time. He had hard work to control his eagnerness. At last it came, that lumbering old relic of another day, and stopped with a flourish in front of the post office. The driver helped the one passenger to alight while the eyes of half a hundred curious folk peeped out from advantageous positions. She seemed little more than a girl, and I felt a sudden rush of pity for her, so timid in that strange rough camp. Her luggage consisted of one old straw suitcase and a blrdcage which she handled with extreme care. Jim led the way toward the rooming- house, walking a few paces ahead as his code of ethics demanded of a man, especially a man about to marry. One Hundred Two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 103 ---------- A week later I went at Jim's request to call on "Little Mrs. J m," as the boys all called her. She seemed glad to see me. She was so proud of the mean little cabin and its scattered fields, the mongrel puppy, the handful of scrawny chickens. Jim was happier than I had ever seen him. His usually unkempt beard was painfully clean, his trousers patched and repatched. Even his weather-beaten face seemed somehow fresher and cleaner. I did not go back to Bridgeport for several summers, but I often caught myself wondering about Jim. When finally I had the opportunity I found myself as eager as a child to get back to that gossipy little town. The stage seemed particularly slow, the driver unusually stupid. Finally well remembered landmarks appeared, and my journey was soon ended. I alighted as of yore at the post office. Finding Susan absent from her place of business, I decided to lose no time in making a call on Jim. I set out forthwith on the dusty path picturing to myself the improvements I felt I had every reason to expect. Just around a bend in the road I came face to face with the Jim of former days, if possible shabbier and more unkempt. "Why Jim, I'm glad to see you! I was just going to your place. Have you a lot of new poems, and how is Mrs. Jim?" The poor fellow just stood looking intently at the ground a few moments, poking at a loose pebble with the toe of one runover boot. "Well, Miss, little Mrs. Jim ain't no more. I reckon this life was too rough for her. She just naturally faded away, an' ma'am, it's pow'rful lonely without her." The years roll swiftly and man forgets his sorrow and pain. But there is a residue that enriches and enobles. To most Jim's little wife was but a plain, undernourished, uncultured bit of driftwood; but she was Jim's flower in a desert of thorns. Though the flower has faded its fragrance lives on. Publishers who fight over his poems, and the public who await with eagerness for each new verse from his pen wonder what gives them their touch of infinite sadness and wisdom. But you and I know. One Hundred Three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 104 ---------- Valentines and Cupids Third Prize Story By DON TUNSTALL The pupils of the Sixth A were studying with an unwonted intensity. Not a whisper disturbed the accentuated quiet of the cheerful room; not a paperwad flicked against the freshly washed blackboard, nor did a clumsily passed note drop with conspicuous rustle to the oiled floor. Miss Brooks had promised them a valent'ne box and a quarter holiday. When she had to leave the room for a moment and Johnny Lewis, the class cut-up, began one of his antics, he was looked upon with such frowns of disapproval that he was instantly squelched, and, blushing furiously, subsided into his seat. How slowly the hands crept around the big solemn face of the clock in front of the room! How the minutes dragged. Time was interminable, for at ten minutes before dismissal they were to draw names. Deep was the anxiety of Jimmy Ryan and great was his anticipation as he awaited that fateful hour. A few weeks before, Eloise Patterson had entered school, capturing in an instant all of the masculine hearts in the room. She was slight and rather pale complexioned; but she had beautiful black curls and deep brown eyes, which smiled at everyone impartially. Her father was the new president of the bank and lived in the big Curtis House on the hill. Much to the envy of the other little girls, Eloise wore a different dress almost every day. And it was rumored that she was going to give a party and invite all of her best friends. Jimmy dreamed of her from the first day he saw her. He worshipped her as a slave may worship his queen. Jimmy with the unruly hair, freckled face and up- turned nose; with the worn coat, the patched shoes, and the missing necktie-how hopeless, he realized, was his affection. Yet he dreamed dreams and built castles, and in all of these little Eloise reigned as queen. "All right, children, put away your books," broke in the firm voice of Miss Brooks. A muffled sigh of relief escaped as all the children hastily but cautiously jammed their books into their desks. Soon a breathless quiet reigned and all the faces were turned toward Miss Brooks in rapt expectancy. "Now, children, all write your names on slips of paper. George, you may col-lect the boys' names and Ralph, the girls'." How closely Jimmy watched to see what kind of paper Eloise wrote her name on and how she folded it. To his disgust he noticed that every other boy was watching with the same close attention. The names were collected and passed. Jimmy thrust his hand into the hat and found a piece of paper that felt about right. With a thrill of uncertainty he withdrew it. Scarcely daring to breathe, he opened it. "Miriam Winters!" How unjust were the gods ! He was plunged from the heights of rapture to the antithesis of despair. But a faint beam of hope shone through his melancholy. He could trade. With a wild shout school was dismissed and they all went trooping out into the yard with cries of, "Who'd you get?" How'll you trade?" "I'll trade you sights unseen." Jimmy at last discovered the proud possessor of Eloise's name. Billy Sherman had drawn it and showed every indication of intending to keep it. He was deaf to all pleading and cajoling and offered only a passive ear to offers of money, marbles, chewing gum and bean shooters. One Hundred Four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 105 ---------- Aw, come on, Billy, pleaded Jimmy, "I'll do your 'rithmetic for you fer a week." "Nope. I tell you I'm gonna keep it myself," replied Billy, and started walking off toward home. In a moment Jimmy caught up with him. He would make the highest sacrifice. "Here, Billy," panted Jimmy. "I'll give you this if you'll trade. Miriam is an awful nice girl, too." In his hand he extended a battered but still serviceable knife with two good blades and a screwdriver. Jimmy had won it as a prize for a composition the year before, and it was his dearest possession. Billy began to yield. No other boy in school had a knife like that. "I'11 tell you, Jimmy. I'll do it if you'll give me that knife and pack my wood for a month." Rather reluctantly Jimmy agreed to the suggestion of the miniature Shylock. It was a lot, but it was for Eloise. So with a light heart he parted with the knife and started for home and his chores. Jimmy's father worked as foreman in one of the sawmills and could only with difficulty support his large family. So Jimmy earned nearly all of his spending money himself by doing odd jobs. He knew better than to ask for money to buy Eloise a valentine. He had already fully determined to earn it himself some way. Just the valentine he wanted reposed in the window of Prigmore and Sears' Drug Store. It cost a fabulous sum-one dollar and seventy- five cents-but it was the nicest one in town and none other would do for Eloise. There were only four days till Friday. Jimmy put in wood, carried suitcases, weeded gardens and mowed lawns. In the morning before school, after school, in the evenings and sometimes at noon he toiled. But finally on Thursday evening he walked toward town with one dollar and eighty-five cents jingling comfortingly in his pocket. His hands were blistered, his back ached, and for three nights he had gone to bed dead tired. But in the mornings he had seen Eloise again, and through-out the day, and her pleasant little companionable smile and cheerful "Hello, Jimmy" had spurred him on to unremitting effort. And now his goal was almost achieved. In sheer joy Jimmy kicked a rock before him on the pavement. It was fun to see it go rolling smoothly along. He caught up with it and delivered another kick. This time the rock did not hold quite true to form, but rose off the pavement, and as if guided by a magnet, headed straight for the basement window of old Mr. Squire's house. Jimmy's heart ceased to function for an instant and then resumed its operation with slow, deadening throbs. The rock had held its course and, with a tinkling shower of glass, had shattered the window. As the full significance of the calamity dawned on Jimmy, he stood stone-still as if frozen to the spot. In a daze he saw Mr. Squires with his cane tapping beside him, hobbling hurriedly out of the house. Ordinarily he would have run, but he didn't seem able. And now it was too late. "Ah, now I've got ye, ye young rascal. You run right home and git me two dollars to pay for that there winder, or I'll tell the town marshal and he'll hev the law on ye. It's time suthin was done to these young reprobates, tearing around and destroying a decent, self-respectin' man's property that-a- way." With reluctant steps Jimmy started toward home. He lacked fifteen cents of the two dollars. The valentine was a thing of the past. He would try and get the rest of the money from his mother. Dimly these thoughts trickled through his brain. He seemed unable to think. Only a dull cognizance of some great disaster seemed to oppress him. One Hundred Five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 106 ---------- After confiding in his mother he secured the required fifteen cents and re-turned to pay for the window. How he had toiled and perspired for that window! And now it was all gone and he could give Eloise no valentine. Tears welled in his eyes and almost brimmed over, but he was made of sterner stuff, so he sniffed a few times, and with a furious dab of his hand wiped away all traces of this effem-inate demonstration. Unconsciously his steps turned toward the drug store. He would have one last look at the treasure that was to have been his to bestow on the lady of his heart. But it was gone. Some more fortunate and affluent person had purchased it. Well, it didn't matter now, anyway. Jimmy went home. He ate a few dry, tasteless mouthfuls as an excuse for supper and then retired hurriedly to the family living room. There he busied him-self with paper, scissors and library paste. He would make a valentine of his own. He painted designs, he drew hearts, he printed verses, but his finished products seemed woefully inadequate. He couldn't give any of these trashy things to the goddess of his dreams. He gave up in despair. Long after the rest of the family had gone to bed he sat with his head on his arms. Tomorrow was Friday. He had no valentine. Everyone knew he had Eloise's name. Eloise knew it, too. She would get many valentines and she would expect something from him. Was he to fail her? Jimmy's throat felt tight and constricted, much like it did at the time he had tonsilitis. It was a sore, choking sensation. Life held no happiness in store for him. Raising his head for a moment to look around the quiet room, he found the familiar objects blurred by a mist. He wouldn't cry-he wouldn't-he wouldn't! Only sissies and babies did that. Then an idea occurred to Jimmy. He would write Eloise a note for a valentine. At least she would know that he wanted to give her one. He got out his mother's stationery and a much abused pen. After biting the end of this for some time and making several false starts, he finally evolved this: Dear Eloise: I' can't give you no valentine. I busted a window and had to pay for it. So you see I haven't no more money. I'm awfully sorry, Eloise, 'cause I like you and I think you are the nicest girl there is. From yours truelly, JIMMY. Came the next day and the hour set for the distribution of the valentines. All day Jimmy had buried himself in his book and studiously avoided meeting the gaze of Eloise who had looked his way quite frequently. The box was filled to over-flowing and some of the valentines were laid on the teacher's desk. There was the one dollar and seventy-five cent valentine. Ted Brown had bought it and was giving it to Eloise. There it lay, the price quite unerased, in mute but glorious testimony of the extreme worth of the valentine. She would never even notice his little note, thought Jimmy, after getting such a lovely valentine. Then the valentines were given out. Two monitors were chosen. Everyone had bought or made a valentine for the one whose name he had, and most of the boys had given another to Eloise. Her desk was heaped high. Now she was unwrapping them and reading. She took the big one first. Finally she came to the humble little envelope. Jimmy looked unconcernedly out of the window and prayed for a speedy dismissal. It was taking her a long time to read it, he thought, as he looked again and she was still absorbed. Then came the welcome dismissal bell. Jimmy jumped to his feet, made a dash for the cloak room, and started down the steps in a run. He was indiscreet. He realized this when lie saw the Principal coming toward him. His arm was One Hundred Six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 107 ---------- seized and he was propelled rather forcibly back to his room. On the way he met Eloise and passed her with downcast eyes. He was doubly disgraced now. "You may remain in your seat for twenty minutes, Jimmy," said Miss Brooks, "and next time perhaps you can remember to go out in a more orderly manner." Jimmy slumped in his seat. Time dragged and so did Jimmy's spirits. What is more lonesome than a deserted school building after hours? It is as oppressive as a prison, as gloomy as a tomb. A voice penetrated to his senses as from another world, "You may go now, Jimmy. I'm sorry this had to happen." Without any perceptible relief Jimmy struggled to his feet and stumbled to-ward the door. He started across the school yard and then a voice called to him. It sounded sweet to him like the warble of birds or like the trickle of water to the parched wanderer on the desert. It couldn't be-but it was-Eloise's voice. "Jimmy, oh Jimmy, wait a minute." He turned and waited, eying one badly scuffed toe and fiddling with his cap with both hands. ",Jimmy, I- I--want to-thank you for the valentine. I don't like the old boughten kind-that anybody can give. Yours was the very nicest of all." She thrust out a hand which Jimmy seized awkwardly. He blushed deeply, relinquished the hand, and found that his organs of speech were temporarily de-ranged. But Eloise went on. "And, Jimmy, I'm giving a party next Friday and you're the very first one I'm inviting because I like you, too." Jimmy had no appetite that night either.

Just a little lad of four Wanting to know so very much more Than I shall ever know, Though I search the pages of all the sages And seek till my eyes grow dim, What shall I find to answer him? 'Tis little enough, I trow. Where are the trails to Fairyland? Do you remember the day when I took your hand, And we went to the woods all fresh and sweet, Where the moss was cool to your wee bare feet, Where the violets hid so shy and fair And with the lilies perfumed the air? Where the tiny stream came wandering by, Reflecting that speck of the clear blue sky; And the birds in the trees as we came along Hushed for a moment their glad, sweet song? Surely that trail leads to Fairyland- A long shady trail to Fairyland, A sweet, smelly way to Fairyland. "But the other trails to Fairyland- Tell me all the trails to Fairyland." Then look at that fleecy cloud up there Floating along in the clear, pure air. Let us go sailing, you and I, Up and up. to that cloud on high, And seat ourselves in the white cloudboat; And away, and away, and away we'll float So swift, so free, so high in the air, And no one will guess that we're riding there! And we'll sail straight on to Fairyland! What a wonderful way to Fairyland! What a swift, breezy way to Fairyland! One Hundred Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 109 ---------- Oh, the Rainbow Trail, that's a beautiful way! Looped up in the sky like a ribbon gay! Of course there's a very steep hill to climb, And it may take a very, very long time, But you and I, we shouldn't mind; On the Rainbow Trail there's much to find. When we reach the top - what a glorious thrill! We'll coast right down that long, long hill. And we'll never, never fear a spill In a jolly ride down that beautiful hill. And we'd land ker-plunk into Fairyland! And startle the Fairies in Fairyland, The wee Fairy-folk in Fairyland. He gurgles with laughter and cuddles my hand, "Tell me more ways to Fairyland!" The sinking sun tells the end of the day And mingles its gold with the blue of the bay. See, little one, see! Away, away Stretches a golden path o'er the bay. Let's walk down the beautiful, shimmering trail; We've never the need of a boat or a sail! The little fish in the water below May follow and laugh as they see us go Right down with the sun into Fairyland! Down, down with the sun into Fairyland! "Where are the trails-" but the Sandman has won. The heavy lids lower;; his long day is done. The soft breeze whispers; the night-hawk calls; And over us gently the twilight falls. He smiles in his sleep and I understand - He's dreaming of more trails to Fairyland. Dream on, little one, safe on mother's breast. Too soon come life's cares and unrest. Would you could dream on - 'tis so hard to live; To see Reality take more than she can give. 'Tis my joy to take you to Fairyland, Down the old, old trails to Fairyland, The Forever Trails to Fairyland. i One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 110 ---------- One Hundred Ten ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 111 ---------- San Juan Isles The sea is blue 'round San Juan Isles, And every summer day The waves, like little merry maids, Romp up to laugh and play.

Days loiter by on San Juan Isles; A sail blows full and white; An oar gleams through the sapphire depths; Then - it is night. The sails drift back to San Juan Isles; Stars glimmer and are gone. The oars drip opals; lights go out; Then - it is dawn.

This spot is unique in charm and beauty, in perfection of climate, in easy, agreeable living conditions, in health-fulness. It is unique in the fact that it is an entire county of sea and land, of islands and inlets, 172 in number, varying in size from fifty-eight square miles to the area of a city lot. It is unique in climate, even in the Pacific Northwest, called by Dr. Woods Hutchinson "charmed land of the American Continent." It is known as the Sunshine Belt, because of the fact that rain-laden clouds sweeping in from the Pacific frequently pass over the islands without precipitating their moisture until they encounter the high barriers of the Cascade Range. The Archipelago embraces about five hundred square miles of sea and land, of which practically 180 square miles are island. San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands comprise more than three-fourths of the land area and support the bulk of the population. Shaw, Waldron, Stuart, Blakely and Decatur Islands also have prosperous communities, and a number of the smaller islands are inhabited. Others are just waiting until the full charm of the district becomes better known. On each island is a wealth of game, deer and upland birds. The sea and lakes in Moran State Park provide delectable sea food in wide variety, as well as fresh-water trout. The two thousand miles of shore line of Puget Sound, with the addition of the Island Passage to Alaska, afford cruising waters unequalled elsewhere on the globe, in sport, ideal sailing conditions, and scenic beauty. The soil on the islands produces fruit and vegetables in perfection. Pure, fresh water is found everywhere, and over all is a temperate sun, kindly beneficent, and never oppressive. One sleeps under blankets every night of the year. The environment is beautiful beyond the power of the pen to tell-islands and inlets with evergreen shores nestled in an emerald sea, some soft and alluring in outline, many more rugged and precipitous, and the entire beautiful picture framed in a horizon defined by dazzling snow-clad peaks and mountain ranges. The Archipelago lies close up against the British Columbia line, and upon San Juan Island the British flag once floated as an emblem of British sovereignity within the present limits of the United States. For a period of fourteen years (1859-1873) two armies were stationed on San Juan Island. The American forces were landed on the southern end of the island under the command of General Pickett, and a detachment of Royal Marines was landed at the northern end of the island under the command of Captain George Bazalgette. The San Juan dispute was finally settled in 1873 by arbitration, when William I of Germany decided in favor of the claim of the United States. Now we find erected at the northern end of the island a monument in remembrance of the English soldiers. And the old English blockhouse still stands as they left it. At the southern end of the islands stands a beautiful monument in memory of the American forces who were stationed there. One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 114 ---------- On San Juan Island is the location of the county seat, Friday Harbor, the only incorporated town in this modern Arcadia, and the chief trading center of the islands. Here also is located the Puget Sound Biological Station, sup-ported by an association of universities, chief of which is the University of Washington, and founded through the zeal and vision of an internationally known scientist and naturalist, Profes-sor Trevor Kincaid. This school of biology is open for summer sessions of six weeks of intensive study and is attended by students from all parts of the United States as well as foreign countries. The Bellingham Normal School will have classes there the com-ing summer. New equipment is being added continually, and the station ap-pears destined to become one of the most important in existence. At the northern end of the island we find a small town called Roche Harbor, the home of the Roche Harbor Lime Works, producing twelve hundred bar-rels of lime a day, which is the largest lime plant in the world. It is known world wide for its production of fine quality lime. San Juan Island has the largest population of any of the islands and is easily first in production. Its valleys are rich and beautiful, among the best in the Puget Sound district.

It has fine bathing beaches, and is particularly popular with vaca-tionists. From it rises Mount Constitution, 2400 feet high, from which one can catch a panoramic view of sea and islands framed in their setting of snow-clad mountains that for a picture of sheer beauty would be hard to duplicate. Even distant cities are visible. On this island and embracing most of Mount Con-stitution is the 4800 acre estate of Robert Moran, a retired business man of Seattle. Out of this 4800 acres he has recently carved 2700 acres, taking in Mount Constitution, two lovely mountain lakes, and a wealth of fascinating wood-land, which he has given to the State of Washington as the Moran State Park. This is to be enlarged to 5000 acres, and will form one of the most wonderful public parks in the world, a combination of sea, mountain, and beauty of natural forest. It has a natural growth of wild game and bird life. Deer espiecially can be found in great numbers. Mountain Lake, at an elevation of 1200 feet, and Cascade Lake at 350 feet, are both stocked with trout. The state has pro-vided camping places with fire and sanitary arrangements for campers. Nearby nestles Mr. Moran's remaining 2000 acres and his home, one of the show places of Puget Sound. Close by this fascinating region are East Sound, Crescent Beach, Orcas, Olga, West Sound, Deer Harbor, and Doe Bay, leading vacation resorts of the islands with excellent bathing beaches where hundreds disport themselves throughout the summer months. There is no undertow or hidden danger, and bathing even for young children is quite safe. There is good fishing on the larger islands and sea fishing everywhere. It is the yachtman's, boatman's, and canoeist's paradise. The country never loses its charm. Always there is a new bay or a new trail to explore, and always new beauties lying in wait for the adventurer. Never are the lights and the shadows just the same; it is an ever-changing picture and never-ending delight, especially to the sea lover. It is a wonderful place in which to forget life's troubles and worries, to get back to Nature in her happiest mood, to regain health of the body, mind and spirit. One Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 117 ---------- One Hundred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 118 ---------- The Normal-By-The-Sea I. Below, the sea-blue as a sapphire-set Within a sparkling, emerald mountain chain Where fir and hemlock needles sift like rain Thro' the voluptuous air. The soft winds fret The waves, and beat them wantonly to foam The golden distances across the sea Are shot with rose and purple, languourously The silver seabirds in wide circles roam. The sun moves slowly down the flaming West And flings its rays across to set aglow The islands rocking on the cool waves' crest And the great glistening domes of snow on snow. And thro' the mist the Olympics flash and float, Like opals linked around a beating throat. II. Inspired of God were they that chose this place Wherein to build these walls of softest rose, Whose every slender pane at sunset glows Like burnished gold and fires with mystic grace The wooded loveliness of Sehome Hill, Here is the home of color and light; Perfume of balm-trees; singing birds' delight; Splendor of mist and rainbow-and the still Slow flight of butterflies. Sweet liquid clear, The lark flings to the dawn his lyric notes. And what inspired psalmist have we here? What song of pure, enthralling sweetness floats From yonder Elm-tree in the midnight hush? 'Tis the entrancing love-song of the hermit-thrush. -ELLA HIGGINSON. One Hundred Eighteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 119 ---------- One Hundred Nineteen ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 120 ---------- Aletheia DORIS PATRICK . President MABEL TURNER . Vice-.President LEONA KAMB . . . . . . Secretary-Treasurer CARRIE FOURNIER . Sergeant-at-Arms A Hallowe'en party! A dimly lighted room. Shadows of witches and ghosts flitting across the indistinct walls. An atmosphere of mysterious exaltation among those who had just survived the preternatural exercises of initiation. The presi-dent, Doris Patrick, gave her address welcoming the new members-and our activities for the year had begun. One of the biggest events of the year was the annual banquet held March 7, in Edens Hall club room. Floral decorations consisted of pink carnations, which blended beautifully with the rose and gray motif of the table. Sparkling wit and humor predominated in toasts that were given and were responded to nobly by our toast mistress, Doris Patrick. Aletheian Club meetings have consisted of interesting discussions on problems of the day, chief among which was Miss Longley's talk on Hawaii. Programs have included music, art, and works of prominent men and women. Silently our old owl has led us into realms of lofty ideals, and was instrumental in our winning the banner in the "Winter School Vaudeville." The club owes its splendid success to Miss Crawford, our capable sponsor, who has helped in every possible way. We were delightfully entertained at a tea given by Miss Crawford at the home of Miss Longley. Aletheia will ever be led onward to fulfill the lofty ideals and ambitions of our symbol-the owl, which signifies Life, Purity and Truth. That we have shown great interest in our surroundings is attested by the fact that we planted two hundred bulbs on Sehome Hill. Fortunate indeed, has been Aletheia in having Rebecca Arnell as one of her members. Both the club and school are indebted to her for the part she played in winning again the Allison Cup. One Hundred Twenty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 121 ---------- Alkisiah Club The Alkisiah Club, which is about to begin its twenty-fifth year, is very proud to be the oldest club in the Normal, as well as the only Federated club. Many changes have taken place in these years, but the club, as the name Alkisiah implies, keeps its goal always, "In the Near Future." Of our three objectives: namely, public speaking, public service and current problems, the second-public service-has been stressed this year. One of the first activities was the candy sale to raise the ten dollars assigned to each Federated club for the Louvain Library Restoration fund. The library at the University in Louvain, Belgium, was destroyed during the war. This fund is being raised by American Colleges in response to a wish ex-pressed by Cardinal Mercier when asked by a body of club women just what he wished most that the United States should do for Belgium. In December the club sent a doll to the Tacoma Women's Club Bazaar, to help swell the community Club House fund. This Dutch doll carried a bouquet of tulips to remind recipients that Bellingham is the home of the tulips. The days just before Christmas were brightened by the sale of blooming Nar-cissi. The sale of seals for the Anti-Tuberculosis Association was also held, this last being an old club custom. In co-operation with the Home Economics Department, Home Products week was called to the attention of the school during the week of February 19-21. Recently the Alumni of the club living in Bellingham who were active members in the past, have organized that they may keep in touch with the club, even though not in school. The money left in the treasury has been turned into a fund for a cabin at Normalstad. Our annual club banquet was held in February and was a most enjoyable affair. Many Alumni were present, showing the true club spirit of "Once an Alki-siah, always an Alkisiah." This ends another successful club season under the leadership of our ever-willing and helpful club sponsor, Miss Moffatt. One Hundred Twenty-on ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 122 ---------- College Club The College Club was organized on the campus during the fall quarter. Those students who had previously attended another college or institution for three quarters, and who were able to maintain a B average, were eligible for membership. The purpose of the Club was to promote scholarship, school spirit, and in general to further academic interests. Initiation was held February 2 in the big gym, and ten pledges were taken into the Club. The gymnasium, decorated in the Club colors of blue and gold, presented a charming background for the impressive initiation ceremony conducted by Presi-dent Dorothy White. Afterwards the new members put on an interesting program. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. A second initiation was held during the spring quarter, April 19, and a number of new pledges taken into the Club. The last important event of the spring quarter was an enjoyable informal dance, which came in May.

Reporter One Hundred Twenty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 123 ---------- Leowyrtha Club Long ago, when this country was young, there were Indians here. They had no books, but they heard their history and literature from the leowyrhtas or story tellers. Since then many things have changed. No longer do the people gather around the leowyrhtas to receive all information. They have their books, but even so, the story-teller is as popular as ever and is as much enjoyed. Now in the great school called the Bellingham Normal, there were many wise people who saw the need of promoting the art of story-telling. Thus was the Leowyrhta Club dreamed of and organized, and to this day we have the club. The purpose of the club is to tell stories. Every Saturday morning several members go to the North Side Library to conduct the story hour for the children. In the afternoon several other girls go to the South Side Library to tell stories to the children who live in that vicinity. Furthermore, many girls have worked with the Extension Department and have told stories at P. T. A. meetings. Not only do the Leowyrhtas tell stories, but they write stories also. One of the sweetest tales ever told, "The Sugar Kingdom," was written by a Leowyrhta member. Long live the Leowyrhta Club, the best on the campus! Its present members will never forget the banquet at Hotel Leopold, or the initiation in the Cafeteria. And here is to the sponsor and honorary members, Miss Jacobs, Miss Montgomery and Miss Sperry. One Hundred Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 124 ---------- Edens Hall Since its erection two years ago, Edens Hall has come into popular demand with girls from outside of 'Bellingham. Long before any quarter begins, all rooms are filled and a long waiting list is on hand. The attractive, homey atmosphere of the dormitory is an inducement to the girls to spend most of their time in the building. Better lighting equipment has been installed this year to facilitate studying. The girls who room at the hall and other students who live nearby, eat in the dining room of the building. Meals are prepared and supervised by Miss Schwartz, a graduate dietitian. Excellent, well-balanced meals are served at a very reason-able price. After dinner, the girls spend an hour in recreation. The small hall upstairs is generally well filled with dancers. Other girls prefer to spend the time in walking about the campus or visiting their school mates in other rooms. Miss Headrick, social director of Edens Hall, supervised a very delightful social program this year. The first event was a real "spooky" Hallowe'en party. During the evening ghostly figures felt their way up and down mysterious stairs, winding finally to the dark attic, where terrible tales were told. At Christmas, the reception hall was crowded with "kiddies," who were entertained with a Christmas tree, candy and presents. Three dances were given by the girls. The first, attended by about seventy-five couples, was in the nature of a Valentine dance. St. Patrick, in his glory of green, lead the second affair, given in his honor during the month of March. The May Day Ball, on April 26, was a great success. It was, perhaps, the most attractive of all in decorations. Pastel tulips furnished the motif for the invitations, programs, and decorations. On Washington's Birthday, those girls who stayed for the vacation, enter-tained those who did not dance and so did not care to attend the mixer at the Armory. About 150 were present. Many other enjoyable affairs of an informal nature are on the calendar, such as making fudge in the kitchenette, or inviting two or three girls to share a box from home. On the whole, the Edens Hall girl feels herself privileged in her opportunities for daily contact with more than a hundred other girls living dormitory life. One Hundred Twenty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 125 ---------- One Hundred Twenty-fve ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 126 ---------- Philomethean Chemistry Annex, November, 1923. An earthquake, accompanied by a severe electrical display, rocked the Philo-methean Literary Society headquarters while they were in the midst of an initiation last night. The tremors began about 8:30 and continued at frequent intervals for two hours, thus instilling in the heart of each candidate proper respect for the powers that be. The damage consisted of five pairs of black and blue shins, received by falling downstairs blindfolded; one case eggs, broken while in transit; and a wrecked keg of cider. Several gross doughnuts were also missing. Mr. Philippi's Home, November 24, 1923. The members of the Philo Club were entertained in honor of the sixteenth birthday anniversary of the club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi. It proved to be one of the most delightful events of the season. The rooms were ef-fectively decorated in green and white, the club colors. The main diversion of the evening was the Philo crap game in which Roswell Oliver took high honors. "Tarzan" received the "booby prize." Following a short program of music and speeches, refreshments were served. Considerable ceremony accompanied the cutting of the birthday cake. Miss Headrick laid claim to being the oldest Philo present, while the honor of being the best looking went to President Fisher. Eighty invitations were issued for the party. One Hundred Twenty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 127 ---------- Chemistry Annex, February 7, 1924. Seven persons were killed and eight terribly mutilated in a head-on collision between the Philo initiation committee and a score of candidates last night. Three escaped with minor injuries, although it is expected they will bear scars for life. Those in charge of the committee were absolutely heartless in the treatment of their victims. Of those who managed to escape from the collision, some were electro-cuted, some poisoned, and still others smothered. Later News Note-- Reports today state that dead and injured in the collision last evening have been revived by the wonderful discovery of T. Cederberg, but do not state who discovered him. It now appears that the chief damage was done to Buns and Dogs. Auditorium, March 7, 1924. A Chautauqua running for "five nights" was presented to the student body of B. S. N. S. in their assembly this morning by the Philo Club. Features of the pro-gram were the Sing Sing Musical Troupe; Scara Moustache, a Roumanian dra-ama; Miss Ate A. Board, in crayon sketching; and Mine. Crowder-Miller in a reading, "The River of Stars." The White Man's Glee Club, scheduled for the fifth night, did not appear, due to a previous engagement with the instructors. Little Gym, March 13, 1924. The Philo Club won the basketball championship of B. S. N. S. by defeating the Rural Life Club, 38-11, in a roughly contested game. The Philos had previously defeated the Thespians, 20-17, and Rural Lifers, 27-21. This victory leaves the Philos with a clean slate and gives them the right to represent B. S. N. S. in the national conference for the propogation of cruelty to basketball players. P. S.-This happened last night. EDITORIALS To Mr. Phillippi, our club sponsor, who has helped us, guided us, inspired us to our best efforts, and has been one of us, we owe and give our sincerest thanks. As we view the club activities for the past year, we feel that our time has been profitably and pleasantly spent. We look forward with sorrow to the time when we will leave it all behind, but we know that pleasant memories will be our portion to carry with us. Normalstad, May, 1924. Many tired but happy Philos resumed their various school burdens Monday after a most delightful week-end party at the recently completed lodge at Normal-stad. Marguerite Saddler is still sore. She tried to hike around the lake but got tired and took a short cut across it. She fell over a log. Dorothy threatens to sue Gordon if she catches cold. Cause-overturned canoe. Genevieve says that Lake Whatcom will never be popular as a summer resort. The water is too fresh. One Hundred Twenty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 128 ---------- y Thespian Club Yes, I should say they did initiate me, and after I had been shot, had eaten "cat meat with fur on," had drunk "carbolic acid," and had bobbed for blindfolded apples, I felt that if ever I was to be a Thespian, I surely was one at the conclusion of such an evening. Later, though, when I signed my name to the roll book, I knew that I was a Thespian for always, in spirit as well as in name. We elected Horace Walker to be our first quarter's president and under his worthy rule the club had several most excellent meetings. The plays, "The Pot- Boilers" and "He Said 'N She Said," were worked out by groups of members and then presented in the regular meetings for appreciation and study of their dra-matic possibilities. The lives of the authors were also studied. We found out, one night,-by what means we are not at liberty to disclose-that our honored and revered sponsor, Mr. Raskopf, knows "What Every Woman Knows." He confessed that he should not have revealed the secret to such an exuberant group, however, when a few days later, it was rather publicly noised about that a member of this austere faculty knew what every woman knows. Even so,--but lie does. One Hundred Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 129 ---------- Once a Thespian, Always a Thespian. That means more than words can express to the Thespians who are alumni of the school. Since the spirit of the club is not only to develop loyalty and co-operation among the present members but also to tie the old members to the present group, the annual Home- Coming Ban-quet is one of the biggest features of the club year. On the evening of February 22, in the beautifully decorated dining rocm of the Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed the re-newal of friendships with those of our numbers who are out in the field. The program of music, readings, and toasts will long be remembered. To our president the second quarter, Miss Eleanor Whisner, is due the grateful appreciation of the members for her capable supervision of the banquet plans. Initiation night is not the only time that brings hardship to members, as a certain two of the club will testify. Having enjoyed their birthdays the day pre-vious, the two were most unsuspicious of the treat which was in store for them. But the excitement of one of their friends was intense as she rose to suggest that, upon adjournment, we attempt to celebrate the event fittingly. When the doors were well-barred, we proceeded to do so, trying as best we could to subdue our own mirth and drown the shrieks of the victims. Don Tunstal, succeeding to office the third quarter, came to the chair at a busy and eventful time. The play, "The Flitter Mouse," was particularly well received by the club when it was presented one evening by the members, in the auditorium. The Treasure Island Dance was another affair on the calendar which was enjoyed by the club members. The rooms were transformed into dimly lighted ghostly nooks, suggestive of the pirates' dens. Chests of gold made admirable resting places for the ladies, who were hardly recognizable in their red, yellow and green head-pieces. Musty old maps revealed the places of meeting for the pirates. To promote the construction of a lodge at Normalstad, the club presented the three-act play, "A Successful Calamity." One Hundred Twenty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 130 ---------- Normal Drama Club The Normal Drama Club was organized in the spring of 1923 for the purpose of keeping alive the spoken drama and to present to the student body each quarter some of the best plays. The interests of the club are closely allied with those of the Drama League of America and the Little Theatre Movement. In the near future, it is hoped, membership in the Drama League may be granted. Mr. Victor Hoppe is sponsor to the club and directs all the plays. The members assist in the production of each program by handling the various business transactions, the stage, and all of the advertising, in this way gaining valuable experience. Eligibility is determined by a tryout each fall before a faculty committee headed by Mr. Hoppe, or by participation in a previous Normal production. One Hundred Thirty ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 131 ---------- In the summer quarter the club presented Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Greenwood Theatre on the campus. The play was given two nights, and the audience for each night was estimated at two thousand people. The most pleasing characteristics of the performances were the lovely simplicity of the play and the effective natural setting. The cast directed by Victor H. Hoppe, was as follows: LORIS BARKER . .

By way of variety the club decided to give three one-act plays, widely diverse in character, in place of the usual big play. The first of the group, "Three Pills in a Bottle," by Rachel Field, is a fantastic drama which quaintly portrays the souls of people in contrast to their exteriors.

The prize was given for the best play picturing some phase of American life. The play had a very successful New York run, and has recently been movieized. It is an ironic comment on the petty feuds of modern family life, and shows the barren ugliness of existence in a small New England town.

One Hundred Thirty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 135 ---------- Rural Life Club On the first Thursday evening of the school year, 1923-24, there came together, in response to a call on our bulletin board, seventeen of our sturdy Trail-Blazers who had returned from field and forest, from sea and busy city to continue their study at the Normal-by-the-Sea. The joy of reunion, the relating of adventures, the messages from those who have taken their places along the highways and by-ways of life, featured the first meeting of the ninth year of our existence as an organization in this institution to which we again declared our loyalty as we affirmed our determination to carry on -faithful to the purposes of our club. The aims of the Rural Life Club, as set forth in our constitution, are to pro-mote interest in and provide opportunity for literary programs; to make a study of and to present programs and other activities appropriate to the communities into which its members may go as teachers; to provide social and recreational opportuni-ties for its members; and to support and in every way further the interests of the Washington State Normal School at Bellingham. In pursuance of the realization of these aims, the club has spent a busy, a happy, and, we believe, a serviceable year. The literary efforts of the club have been confined to our regular literary programs and contributions to all-school and assembly programs in co-operation with the literary clubs of the school. It is our purpose to present programs that are educational, interesting and entertaining; typical programs for community use. One Hundred Thirty- five ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 136 ---------- Our club is a literary club, but we have not forgotten to play. Long will be remembered the delightful Christmas party to which we were bidden by "Ye Goode Patron Saints," Dr. and Mrs. Miller. The attractive drawing rooms with the wealth of Christmas trimmings, the Christmas trees, the fireplace with the yule log continuously blazing, the season's cheer, the appropriate festivities, the heap of gifts from Santa Claus' pack, the delicious culinary dainties, and finally the Christ-mas carols sung with the fervor of joy and gratitude made it a never-to-be-forgotten event in the lives of us all. The annual Heart Party and club banquet were characterized by the novel decorations, splendid entertainment, delicious refreshments, and good times. The competitive games and get-together dinners and congenial fellowship with other clubs added not a little to our social pleasures. Every true Rural Lifer is an ardent trail-blazer, a devotee of the great out-of-doors, hence hikes, informational and recreational excursions, form a part of our year's program. The annual picnic concludes the social part of our happy year with one jubilant, riotous evening around the festive board. We have endeavored to leave upon the campus evidence of our love of nature and our devotion to our alma mater. An evening that contributed both work and pleasure, a few blisters and many hearty appetites, was that of our pilgrimage to the summit of Sehome planting poppy, foxglove, larkspur, marigold, hollyhocks, and bachelor buttons along the Sehome highway. Certainly there were eats and a camp-fire. It doesn't require a vivid imagination to complete the description. We have started a maple grove, eventually to include all varieties of maple trees, at a suit- able spot near the highway and, in co-operation with Dr. Miller, we plan this year to place a California Redwood on this campus. The Rural Life Club has been most fortunate in the addition of honorary members. Dr. Miller has long been a member of this club. At a picnic held at Whatcom Falls soon after President Fisher's arrival in Bellingham, the club was most happy to receive President Fisher and Mrs. Fisher and to add their names to our roll. Miss Orpha McPherson and Miss Sundquist have also honored us with their membership. The club is very grateful. to Miss Keeler and Mr. Heckman for their hearty co-operation and interest in all the club activities. We feel that it is due to our capable sponsors and the excellent club spirit that the Rural Life Club is fulfilling its purpose. One Hundred Thirty-six ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 137 ---------- W Club The "W" Club is rather an infant organization, this being the second year of its life. It is an honorary organization of lettermen, membership being limited to winners of the official "W" in any of the four major sports. Its aims are of the highest, always striving to maintain and increase the ath-letic standards of the school. It'boosts anything which develops the athletic spirit, clean competition, good fellowship, and ideals of true manhood. The "W" Club has a social side of its existence, as well. It plans quarterly banquets and sponsors a club dance each quarter. The "W" Club Dance, given in the second week of the spring quarter, was a very delightful social affair, and may be considered a complete success by those in charge. The officers for the year, who were responsible for the strenuous initiation through which the fifteen new members had to pass in February, were: RANDOLPH DAWSON President ED HANNAH Vice-President DEWEY BOWMAN Secretary-Treasurer One Hundred Thirty-seven ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 138 ---------- Y.

Bible Study Finance Publicity Missionary Memories of the splendid meetings held every Thursday at four o'clock, the friendships formed, and the fine Bible Classes will linger long with those of the Y. W. C. A. Much has been done the past year under the leadership of our president, Rebecca Arnell, and Miss Sperry, Chairman of the Advisory Board. School began late in the fall, so we could not send each new girl a bouquet, as has been our custom for many years; however, we did meet a few trains and welcome some of the new girls. One Hundred Thirty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 139 ---------- One of the most pleasing social events of the year was the Y. W. C. A. reception held at Eden's Hall at the beginning of the fall term for the students and faculty. This was the first opportunity for all to meet and get acquainted. The room was beautifully and artistically decorated for the occasion. A pleasing program of readings, music and a skit was given. The Meetings Committee has done splendid work in securing speakers for the Thursday meetings. Some of the most prominent speakers were Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor of China, who also spoke in the assembly; Mrs. Andrews of India; Mrs. Webster of Africa; Mr. Vendymer, and Miss Heller, the Y. W. C. A. travelling secretary. Mrs. Campbell and Dr. Sattler, who are prominent Bible teachers of Seattle, were here January 17-20 for the annual Bible Institute, and gave us eight inspirational messages. Dr. Sattler's messages on "The Cross" were vividly por-trayed, and Mrs. Campbell's talks on "The Personal Spiritual Life" left a deep and lasting impression. Nine Bible classes have been conducted during the year under the leadership of Miss Sperry, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Gunderson, Rev. McPhail and Mrs. Vaughan. The Book of Acts has been studied. There has been an enrollment of one hundred and fifty and an average attendance of seventy-five. Kathryn Harrison, Gertrude Flannigan, and Harold McTaggart represented our school at the International Student Volunteer Convention, held at Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays. We have four signed-up volunteers and at least ten others who are contemplating a place in the mission field as their life work. Beside the opening reception there have been several other social events. A delightful Christmas Member party was given in the Domestic Science rooms at Christmas time, and a Valentine Heart party at the home of Mrs. Simpson on High Street, on Valentine's Day. As we go to press, "Ye Aulde Deestrict Schule" was given in the auditorium May 9 and was a splendid success. A picnic at the lake and a breakfast on Sehome are in pleasant anticipation before the -close of the year. In the month of April Mrs. Mathes opened her home for a pipe organ recital, which she gave under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., to the young women of the school. New officers were elected for the coming year during the spring quarter. Frances Denniston has served faithfully as president since Rebecca Arnell, our former president, left at the end of the winter quarter to attend the University. Sybil Tucker has been her able assistant as vice-president, Hulda Nelson has served as secretary, and Vivian Holcomb as treasurer.. Wilma Kohn is our repre- sentative in the Women's League. New chairmen were appointed by the new president for the committees. The Social Service Committee has visited many lonely and sick girls and has sent more than a hundred bouquets. One of the finest meetings of the year was the Sunrise Service held on Sehome Hill, Easter morning. Messages were given by Mary Thomas and Adrie Ault. About one hundred and thirty were present and enjoyed the service. The Y. W. C. A. has been an inspiration for Christian work for many girls and in the past seven years twenty-two girls have gone to different mission fields. Among these are the following: Maude Whipple, China; Mrs. Edna Whipple Gish, China; Bergliot Evenson, China; Susie Claussen, China; Mary Millican, China; Nina Gemmel, China; Clara Gordon, Korea; Lois Henderson, Korea; Mary Campbell, India; Emma Rexroth, India; Abbie Johnson Smith (deceased), India; Mabel Jordan, Siam; Ethel Hunt, Burma; Esther Nelson, Burma. One Hundred Thirty- nine ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 140 ---------- W. A. A. The Women's Athletic Association, a comparatively new club, was organized by Miss Long in the fall of 1922. The purpose of this club is to promote high physical efficiency among women of the Normal school, to promote college spirit by developing inter-class athletics, to provide recognition of athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship. To become a member of this organization, one must obtain at least a "C" grade in all classes, and earn the required 100 points. These points may be earned under four heads; namely, sports, health, general, and athletics. There are many incen-tives for members in this club. By earning 200 points, a girl is entitled to her class numeral. If she earns 400 additional points, she receives a letter B. Last and best of all, by earning 1000 points, a girl receives a white rough neck sweater. Every girl strives for this and sets sweater as her goal. After two years of work and ac- cumulating points, a few girls received sweaters this spring. This year the W. A. A. presented their second annual attraction. The success of this entertainment was largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Frank and the committee in charge. The proceeds of these yearly entertainments are used to purchase the sweaters earned by the girls. They also have many good times and hikes. Each quarter there is a schedule of hikes which the girls follow insofar as the weather permits. They stand for good sportsmanship, good health, and good times.

Many social affairs have been given, including the entertainment of the St. Martin's football team and the Vikings after the game played here November 10. One Hundred Forty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 142 ---------- Sourdough Club There are two words in common use in Alaska. One is Sourdough, and the other is Cheechako. Robert Service has immortalized these in his volume of poems called "Songs of a Sourdough" and "Ballads of a Cheechako." Old residents of the North describe a Sourdough as a man who came before the ice in the fall, and saw it go out in the spring; in other words, one who has been in for one winter. It is said that in olden days in every old prospector's cabin on a shelf behind the stovepipe could be seen a bowl which contained sour dough from the previous baking. This was used as yeast to be mixed in with the dough at the next baking. When he used any he would replace it with the same quantity of fresh dough, sure to be soured before he baked bread again. The Cheechako is a Chinook word that means greenhorn, and every prospector until he had been on the Klondike for a year was so regarded. The first thing the Cheechako was supposed to learn was to make sourdough bread, and he usually would borrow some of this yeast from some old-timer down the trail until he had his own sour dough, and so earned his graduate title. The aim of the club is to bring together all Alaskans for social gatherings and to make Alaska familiar to other students. The officers of the club were: FIRST QUARTER IMOGENE BENEDICT . . . . . .

Sponsor One Hundred Forty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1924 - Page 143 ---------- One of the first social events of the season was the annual banquet given by. the Sourdough Club in the club rooms of Edens Hall. It was a grand reunion of resi-dents of Alaska. Twenty-three persons, including the honorary members, were present. The banquet room was attractively decorated with two hundred beautiful hand-made Indian baskets which were loaned by Mr. and Mrs. Crimmins, formerly of Alaska. A feature of the refreshments were bread and rolls made from wheat grown and milled in the Fairbanks district, furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Shiels. A toast was given by the president, after which each member told from what part of Alaska he came. Mr. M. J. O'Conner, a pioneer Alaskan, spoke on "Tc Alaska and Back." He paid an eloquent tribute to that territory and its sterling pioneers, telling of its scenery, its struggles, its lack of transportation, its big game, and its homes. Elizabeth Bennett related a catchy story about a cultured Southern girl, who developed into an Alaskan Sourdough. Archie W. Sheils, head of the Alaska department of the Pacific American Fisheries, discussed Alaska from the educational standpoint, as the Commissioner of Education had featured this on the Harding tour. Miss Watson led the club song. During the roll call, Philip Crimmins appeared in native Alaskan costume. Mr. Sheils dwelt on the work of the American girl in educational activities in Alaska, commending her for her alertness, energy, and perseverance. He gave a summary of what outside capital has done and is trying to do to build up industries in Alaska, and drew a glowing picture of its possibilities. The story of the terri- torial school was given, but stress was placed on the native work as being more unique. "In Alaska, especially in the outlying districts, the government school teacher may be said to be an honest-to- goodness 'Jack of all trades.' Any of you, who may have read Mark Twain's book, 'The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court,' will remember that 'Hank,' the Yankee, was a kind of an all around fixer, and when King Arthur offered to confer upon him any honor or title that he might select, he chose to be known as the 'boss.' Well, the government teachers in an outlying Alaska village may, I think, be truly styled, 'a twentieth century Hank,' and, like him, if they show the proper disposition to guide, rather than drive the native, they will soon find themselves in truth the 'boss.' To one who simply wants to be a teacher in the narrow schoolroom sense, my advice would be-keep away from a government teacher's position in Alaska, but for the one who really wants to do things, I know of no place where there is greater opportunity to make good. In the North the teacher must be ready to be a friend rather than a teacher."

You know our club was founded in September, 1916, and was called the "campus baby." Every year since we have had a lively turnout. Anyway, the name "Ohiyesa" means "winner. Well, we were out to win, the two of us. Prospects were dark, but we were especially fortunate in having the Misses Osborne, Brooks, and Lasley for sponsors. So, before the fall quarter was over, we had a lively bunch, the membership list being almost closed. During this quarter the club sold pie and cider each week at the Recreation Hour. Before the end of the quarter, Miss Leta Brooks gave an interesting talk on "My Impressions of New York." Just before vacation we had a Christmas tree with all the trimmings, and Mr. Marquis made a perfectly charm-ing Santa Claus. At one of our meetings during the quarter, Miss Adele Jones talked to us on "My Experiences Overseas During the War," and at another meeting Miss Olive Edens lectured to us on "Memories of Paris." We enjoyed these talks greatly. We were fortunate to have much musical talent in our club, and in January a girls' quartet was organized, Jeanie, Olga, Hildur and Grace being the members. Our annual banquet was held March 15 at 7:30, in the Tulip Room at the Hotel Leopold, with twenty-five members present. The banquet room was charmingly decorated with daffodils and ferns, carrying out our colors of green and gold. As you know, it is a tradition with our club to hold our annual banquet as near St. Patrick's Day as possible. It was a perfect success, and much credit is due Ardis and Nona, who spent hours working out the menu, program and scheme of decora- tions. President Eunice sang "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," and Jeanie sang "Violets." After the banquet was over, we sang and danced until late. It was at this banquet that we decided upon our future policy in regard to keeping in touch with the club and with each other. So remember our annual re-union and banquet here next year, Peggy. There will be a crowd of alumns back, and we expect high times. And whatever you do, don't forget to write.

It is to our dean, Miss Adele M. Jones, that we give our sincerest thanks for her efforts which were so instrumental in affecting the organization of the league. Miss Jones, who has always had the good of the students at heart, has been the inspiration of the girls in working out plans for the constitution. Under her leader-ship, a committee of ten girls, elected for that purpose, framed the constitution. Miss Constance Markuson, having the honor of being the first president, comes to the position with an already excellent experience in girls' club work. With the co-operation of the girls of the school, the league came to a position of prominence before the close of the school year. The legislative power of the league is vested in the Commission, which is composed of the captains of the twenty groups, and also of a representative from the Y. W. C. A. and one from the Women's Athletic Association. The groups just mentioned are the smaller units into which the league is divided with the purpose of giving each girl an opportunity to express her own desires and opinions. One of the loveliest social events sponsored by the league was the Mother's Tea. This was given in the beautifully arranged drawing room of Edens Hall on the afternoon of May 11. Since not all out-of-town girls could bring their own mothers, many house mothers and friends of the school were invited. Small corsages were presented to the guests. The program of readings and music was given at intervals, so that every person might hear a portion of it. Another new and delightful social event of the year, which, it is hoped, will become a custom, was the entertainment of the girl graduates of the Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools. Many little boys and girls appeared in sunbonnets, straw hats, and pig-tails at the Kid's Party for the little girls of the school. Edens Hall was "butifully" decorated and the ladies in charge told the very "bestest" fairy stories. Happy squeals and shouts greeted the refreshments designed to delight childish hearts.

A WISE CHANGE A benevolent old lady was walking along the street when she observed a beggar. She stopped and looked with compassionate sympathy at the man, and then placed a coin in his hand. "My poor fellow," she said, "here is a quarter for you. Goodness gracious, it must be dreadful to be lame! But I think it would be worse to be blind." "Yer right, lady," agreed the beggar. "When I was blind I was always getting counterfeit money."-The Continent. THE CLASH He: "Wonderful red sunset." She: "Yes, but I shouldn't have worn this shade of pink." PLAY POST OFFICE She was bidding her lover a fond farewell, for he was going on a prolonged business trip around the world. Tearfully she clung to him and asked: "My dear Adolf, will you be true to me when you are far away? Promise me that you will write to me from every town you visit !" And as he gathered her in his arms, he cried: "O Ada, is it love that prompts you to say this? Ada, swear to me, do you really love me-or are you merely collecting foreign postage stamps?"-Calgary Daily Herald. HIS LANDS AND ESTATES It was at a fashionable wedding. The bridegroom had no visible means of support save his father, who was rich. When he came to the stage of the service where he had to repeat: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow! !" his father said in a whisper that could be heard all over the church: "Heavens! There goes his bicycle !"-Tit-Bits. HIS HABIT Said he, nervously, "What on earth will your father say when he knows we're engaged ?" "0!" she replied, "he'll be simply delighted-simply delighted.

AN EMBARRASSING MISTAKE Dorothy Leslie was in a crowl who wanted to adopt a new "line." It was decided that "keen" and "rare" were used too often, so "eager" and "underdone" were substituted. Soon after, Dorothy was invited out to a home for dinner. On sitting down to the table she remarked, "Th:s certainly is an underdone treat."

NO WORDS WASTED A teacher in Illinois set for her pupils the task of writing a composition about the Sangamon River, which flows through the town, and told them to say at least three things about the river. The shortest and pithiest paper was handed in by a youngster who had written: The Sangamon River: I have lived near it. I have skated over it. I have fallen into it.-California Christian Advocate. AS CONGRESS MEETS The teacher was giving the class a lecture on "gravity." "Now, children," she said, "it is the law of gravity that keeps us on this earth." "But please, teacher," inquired one small child, "how did we stick on before the law was passed?"-The Tatler (London). A BACHELOR'S VISION A man visiting an asylum saw a patient sitting on a rocking-horse. "That's a bad case," said his guide. "He often sits on that horse for hours, and we cannot get him to move. He was jilted by a girl." Continuing his tour, the visitor arrived at a padded cell where a man was rushing about and banging his head against the cushions. "Won't he hurt himself ?" inquired the visitor. "O, no," replied the guide: "these are pneumatic cushions." "What has brought him to this ?" "O, he married the girl who jilted the man you saw on the rocking-horse." As GOSSIP GOES "My dear, have you heard the latest about the Smythe woman? Don't stop me if you have !"-Life.

"Bring me a double portion of ma-jongg."--Country Gentleman. WITH THE CUBS Many remarkable statements find their way into our daily newspapers. One of the most astonishing was made a few weeks ago by a paper published in the Middle West. A bad fire had swept the city, and among the buildings that had burned was a large icehouse. The account in the newspaper read: "Miller's icehouse also caught fire, and though a determined effort was made to save the building from the flames, it burned to the ground. With it twenty thousand tons of ice were reduced to ashes."-The Youth's Companion. TO BE PONDERED OVER There would have been no occasion for Sherman's remark if Barnum hadn't been right.-The Kansas Legionnaire. A LONG COURTSHIP Mistress: "You look a wreck today, Mary. Have you been sitting up all night again reading a novel?" Mary: "Yes, mum; it was such a beautiful story, but they didn't get married till nearly four o'clock this morning !"-London Opinion. QUITE SO "What's the best your car will do?" "Run up a garage bill." MAH JONGG FIRST There has just come the story of the maid who went to the lady of the house and said she feared she would have to find another place. "But why?" her alarmed employer asked. "Because," the maid replied, "I fear your husband is losing his mind. I found him on his hands and knees in the living room, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was looking for the East Wind."

His host met him at the train and took him to his home for dinner. The good wife had been busy all day preparing for the distinguished guest and had a splendid dinner prepared. Much to her disappointment the professor said that he never ate just before speaking as it would interfere with the working of his mind. The lady bundled her husband off with the professor to the lecture hall and busied herself clearing away the elaborate dinner. On the return of her husband she asked what sort of an address the professor had made. He replied, "Well, I don't see but he might just as well have eaten a hearty dinner." SWEDE HUMOR An autoist, in great distress, Was mopping his bald head Before a ranch-house--"Have you got A monkey-wrench?" he said. The rancher tall, from Sweden's shore, Did open wide his eyes,- "She bane a cow-ranch," answered he, In disgusted surprise. NOT ALWAYS Georgette (at a sorority dance): "Haven't I seen you somewhere else?" George: "Probably, I haven't always been here." STAGE DIRECTIONS The choir were rehearsing a new setting of "Onward Christian Soldiers" for the Sunday School anniversary. At verse three the choirmaster said, "Now, remember, only the trebles sing down to the gates of hell, and then you all come in!"

This one is credited to W. L. George, "the only living specimen of genus homo who confesses that he understands women": "The cloud that tried to stab their happiness was only a false rumor whose bitter taste could not splinter the radiance, nor dim the effer-vescence of their joy." Mr. Rice (in penmanship): "The next letter we take up is capital I. The boys may find this difficult but, of course, it comes natural to the girls to make I's." Miss Sperry: "That reminds me of Adam and Eve Driven from the Garden by Michael Angelo." Ethel: "Mildred has a high color, hasn't she?" Erma: "Yes, the dear girl. That brand costs ten dollars a box." SOCIALIZED RECITATION Mr. Appleton (English I): "Don't you think that last sentence in your theme was rather superfluous?" Mr. Sturman: "I think it's all superfluous." Mr. Kibbe: "Most teachers dread the first day of teaching-and it usually is dreadful." Mr. Fowler (English I): "I would like to have a private conference with you. What periods have you off?" Hoffman: "I'm off-wait 'til I look at my schedule. I'm off at eleven every day-no, let me see. I'm off-" Mr. Fowler: "Yes, perhaps you are a little off." Wanda: "Oh, Dinah, have you a thumb tack?" Dinah: "No, dear, only a finger nail." BETTER THAN TRADING STAMPS Small Boy: "Father wants six-pennorth of ham, please; and would you wrap it up in the continuation of the story as you sent him the first chapter of with the sausage yesterday?"

The portal drapes are parted, And we, dear class, must o'er its Ihreshold go From school, into that arlifice Called world-be wise, reserved; be sure and slow. Behind we leave the happy days Of comradeship, our sweetest memory; That bond so builded thru our years, It needs must somehow course our destiny. Ah! Fate, you strange-you unknown power, K Cans't not give us a future like our past? Reveal to us what lies beyond K Yon purple, parted drapes. Our lot is cast; We list with eager ears to catch The valued words of wisdom, ere too late To mold our lives accordingly- What says this strange--this unknown power of fate. "Learning, love and fear of God, These gifts are given you, departing class; Their price, no tempting gold can reach; Treasured jewels and gilded halls, do these surpass. Though varied be your chosen paths, Each goal, the Gate of Heaven, is the same. In life's deceits, these gifts are guards, And should you fail-you have yourself to blame." 3 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 4 ---------- A I 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 5 ---------- Erparftment of D~uratin M~ati'r. .PkI ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 6 ---------- - . ::: - __ - I r.:: 1 ,ril .4~~ ~ ~ _ _ _ __- 6 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 7 ---------- )DWIGHT B.

THATCHER MARJORTE JOHNSON ur lass Abvisors Four splendid people have been thinking for us, working for us, hoping for us for a whole year. Each of the four confidently expect great things of us. We must not disappoint them. The Senior Class of nineteen hundred twenty-two has been very fortunate in its class advisors. They are: Mr. Bever, Miss Earhart, Miss Druse and Doctor Miller. Just how strenuous their task has been, only they can know. Indeed, not until we are about to leave, does a full realization of all they have done, of just how much of our load they have carried, comes home to us. Each of the four is a person of wide experience and growth. They have high hopes and ideals and broad professional vision. They stand for a constant raising and improving of our school's standards. Mr. Bever has the reputation of being the busiest, kindest and most patient man in school. Patient he needs to be, with Mary Jones eternally insisting on twenty hours and Liza Schupp forever demand-ing graduation with six credits short. His days are brimming over ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 15 ---------- with teaching, programming and checking records. Only he, who bears the brunt of it year in and year out, can tell how exhaustive programming really is. Then there is the immense work of checking over the work of hundreds of seniors every year. How he keeps so calm and cool is a mystery to all of us. Mr. Bever knows when to be conservative and when to be radical. He holds rigidly to the things that tend to keep up the mtorale and status of the ins itution; yet he is among the first to discard old, out-worn ideas and accept the new. Mr. Bever has been helpful in car-rying out some of the school's best measures. No one works quite so hard for us as Miss Earhart, head of the Training School. Her time is filled with diagnosing our cases and prescribing just the right bit of teaching in the Training School and the city. Just now she is incredibly busy hunting up positions for us and getting us "placed." She doesn't forget us when we are gone; she keeps us in mind and feels responsible for us. With a woman like Miss Earhart thinking about us and feeling responsible for us, we simply have to make good. Miss Druse is another of our well-wishers and benefactors. She has been art critic of the Klipsun for several years and much of the K beauty and attractiveness of the yearly success we call our annual, is inspired by her. Miss Druse is ever ready to serve as judge of our contests and, indeed ,to help and befriend us in every way. One man there is who does his work behind the scenes. That man is Dr. Miller. He accomplishes things so quietly and so well that few of us know they are done and most of us imagine that they just "happen." The wonders he has worked since he took charge of the department of education in 1917 are almost unbelievable. His work, thought and influence have changed and broadened the curriculum materially. He has left the conception of the "all-round" 'teacher to die a natural death, and has introduced specialization thru the minor and major system. He is largely responsible for the introduction of standardized tests in the common branches. He worked hard for the mental test and won it. He is constantly growing and insists on growth in the members of his department. Dr. Miller, in accomplishing these things, has done every one of us a personal service. His work is not spectacular. His ambition is to do as much good as he can without being detected in it. He has succeeded. Actually, though not officially, Mr. Kolstad is a senior class ad-visor. He is the man who makes it his business to see that we enjoy ourselves at Normal. No party, no picnic, no gathering of any kind,' is quite complete without him. IIe, too, stands for a bigger and bet-ter school, with ever-climbing standards. 15 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 16 ---------- 1 MASON HALL, Editor ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 17 ---------- ESTILL V.

It has been the policy of the Board to work for the best interes's of the Senior class, and to this end our efforts have been centered. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 21 ---------- t 21 MiLtEI 21 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 22 ---------- DONNA KLINKER HAROLD M. SMITH MASON HALL On a certain day in September in the year nineteen hundred twenty, many lads and lassies from all over this fair state and coun-try congregated in the City of Bellingham--to be specific, on the B. S. N. S. campus, on Sehome Hill. A few in the crowd by their superior manners and knowing ways could be sifted out as "famil-iars," the dignified Seniors. The great remaining bulk of the seekers after knowledge one could easily see were unfamiliar with the ways and customs. From this second group of youth sprang the Junior class, magnificent, the largest Junior class in the his'ory of the school at that date. To demonstrate the fact that this class possessed quality as well as quantity, one has only to mention the lively mix-ers, club activities, dramiatics, debates, and athletics participated in by individual members of the class. Homesickness could not exist in this big Normal family, in the sound, firmly organized Junior class. The spirit of this new body was immediately felt in the school life, and the work begun then has continued through the two years. Since that day in September, so long ago, the record made by the class of '22 has been notable in all lines of school endeavor. The , clubs in 1920 pledged a membership which in the years to follow will ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 23 ---------- be inspirational. The confidence placed in them was well founded. The majority of the members of '22 have served creditably as offi-cers in the various societies and by their talent and wisdom have ad-vanced the fame of the organizations. The dramatic talent of the Senior class was appreciated from the very beginning of its career. It was first perceived in the Expression classes, la er substantiated in the vario-us society programs and cul-minated in the Junior year, when the class presented that delightful comedy "Rosemary," with unique success. The superb dramatic ability displayed in this all-tar production will remain in the mem-ories of those who witnessed it for many years. This record has been excelled, if that may be, in this the Senior year of the class. The play, (the name is on the tongues of the mulitiude) m,et with as great ac-claim as did the production, "Rosemary." As Juniors, we were proud to present four of the six debaters to defend our Alma Mater. Now, as Seniors, we claim four of the six. These earnest young orators the Class of '22 may never honor too highly. The prowess displayed by the class in athletics does not need mention. The girls succeeded, by their superior skill and strength, in defeating the Class of '21 in the Junior-Senior Basketball Series of 1920-21 and in so winning the Kline Cup. The bulk of the material for the Normal basketball team has largely been furnished by the femininity of the clas of '22. The men of the class have furnished the necessary seasoned tim-ber for the Football and Basketball machines of B. S. N. S. The mar-velous achievemients we feel were due in a great measure to the fine sportsmanship of the Seniors. For the friendly advice, valuable and enuthsiastic co-operation of Mr. Bond, later of'Mr. Bever, Mr. Miller, Miss Cummins. the Senior clas can never adequately express its appreciation. It shall be our aim as individuals to render a similar service in a small way in our future work. We leave, but we shall return; therefore we do not say farewell. May the following lines express the philosophy of the Class of '22. Thus do the threads the fates have spun Weave through the loom of life Each classmate has some share of fun And more or less of strife Until we graduate at last When God shall call the roll; The troubles of our lives all past, Our records on his scroll. -Vida Scudder. 23 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 24 ---------- eirntr liasa Sropery The long, white, flimsy robe reached below my knees. The sil-very stream that I had been following wound through the valley. Far in the distance the jeweled towers of a cathedral gleamed in the blue moon rays. Oversized, oblong, green and purple stars hung near the palm tree horizon. I stopped lo listen lo the chimes which the windl, coming in from the lemon-colored sea, carried over the valley. Dew sparkled on the millions of sweet musk-rose buds that per-fumed the night. The jui'ce of nodding violets and oxlips covered my bare feet. In my right hand was the golden-leafed book containing the Senior ('lass names. Long before I reached the palm grove, strips of lemon, and pur-ple water glowed through the open spaces. ,Where the woodbine over-canopied the palmas, and the dew shone like diamonds, barefoot maidens with jeweled eyes, danced in circles. The mystic music from unseen harps vibrated softly out over the water. At last I stood at the door of a hut, facing a hideous, stooped old woman. IHer voice hinted of the unknown. She snatched the book K fromn my hand, laughing in a cracked, hollow voice. "Ah! not all the names are here." K Disappointment spread over her dry face. "But never mind, I know all. Let's see who comes first?" She glared at the names. "Take that diamond pIointed pencil and write." The following is what she told me to write.

Second: Certain note-books and papers, ready to be handed in, which, being disposed of, will leave themi more leisure for the real business of life, i. e., movie-fanning, etc. Third: Our earnest request that they do not work themselves to death or develop nervous break-downs from study and worry.

To Mir. Bever we leave six dozen large-sized handkerchiefs to be distributed by him among the faculty, who will be stricken with grief at being obliged to part with us. To Mr. Bond we leave a couch on which to relax during As-sembly, after the fatiguing process of teaching Juniors, "Why is 6 ?'" To Miss Edens we leave the task of catching all the slang phrases running loose about the institution, warning her not to romp, frisk or cake- walk during the process, and advising her to shut them up in . 28 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 29 ---------- Room 216 and stand guard. To Mr. Kolstad we bequeath: (1) An A stamp and a miechanical device for turning 60 pages a minute to relieve him of the immense fatigue of correcting papers.

To Miss Sperry we return Shakespeare and Browning, which some of our number took from her.

To Miss Long and Miss Watrous we leave the credit of our aston-ishing physique and amazing postures. To the Cafeteria we leave a brand-new recipe for hash, incredible as it may seem. To Noel Wynne we leave all the reserve books, seeing that he is so fussy about them, anyway. To the city supervisors we leave kiddy-cars to enable them to cover more ground, stipulating that they practice the manipulation of this intricate mechanism for one hour each day, on and around the camnpus and that they carefully observe all traffic regulations. To practice teachers we bequeath: (1) Bells to be fastened around the necks of their supervisors; (2) suits of spit-ball-proof armor; (3) all the shivers and shakes of a first day of teaching; (4) the consoling thought that even we were "green" once upon a time. To Training School pupils we leave our congratulations, our K apologies and our refusal to believe that such cherubic, docile infants as they ever existed before, here below. K Sixthly. We, of the Senior Class, appoint President Waldo, of the Bellingham Normal, as sole executor of this, our will. Seventhly.

W. HECKMAN RUEL KNOWLTON noarb of (Eontrol The personnel of the Board of Control has changed a number of times during the past year. Miss Elsie Minor, who was elected presi-dent of the Students' Association, was in school only during the summer quarter. The vice president, Carroll Haeske, then became president. During the summer, Mr. Fraser was elected to take the place of Miss Cook, who was not in school at the time. For the other vacancy three young men followed each other: Wade Bristol, who iesigned to become Business Manager of the Messenger, Mason Hall, who resigned to become Editor of the Klipsun, and Ruel Knowlton. Mr. Kolstad substituted for Mr. Heckmian during the Fall Quarter, and for Mr. Bond during the Spring Quarter. Among the various events arranged for by the Board of Control the following might be mentioned: School picnic and salmon bake, summer quarter mixer, ocean trip, fall mixer, football banquet. Christmas tree exercises, debate team entertainment, Chuckanut Mar-athon. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 60 ---------- Along with their regular duties, including the supervision of the financial activities of the Students' Association, they have taken up various questions such as that of the improvement of the athletic field. lt;The outstanding feature of the year was the purchase of eighty acres on Lake Whatcom, to be used as a school resort. The suggestion of such an act was made by Mr. Bond, October 24, 1921. Mr. Kolstad, appointed to investigate the advisability of the move, reported fav-orably. The Board then decided to see for themselves. There fol-lowed two hikes up the lake shore, through brush, over rocks, in creeks, under logs, sliding up hill, rolling down, losing trails, making new ones, lost as a group, lost in pairs, until finally the eighty was located. The forerunners of many school groups were "enthusiasti-cally impressed." The matter was presented to the students Novem-ber 23, when they decided to buy the property. On Jauary 4, Mr. Bond was elected trustee of the lake property and the transfer took place soon thereafter. The Board members looked into the future and saw a school great in size and achievement, a student body, splendid in personnel and strong in school spirit, aided and strengthened by the recreation of-fered by a tract on the lake shore with its school and club lodges, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, hockey fields, golf course, canoes, rowboats, launches. The retiring Board of Control awaits anxiously the time when future Boards will be building to make This dream tome true. K One must mention the spirit of good fellowship which existed in the "family group"'' as it assembled around the table in the Students' Association Room. There were differences at times, but they were soon forgotten. This spirit showed itself most clearly in the quarterly Board dinners, a custom inaugurated by the present members, and carried over in the first annual Two-Board dinner, when the retir-ing members entertained the Board elect. ,om -R ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 61 ---------- , S C.

The Students' Co-op is an institution of which the school is indeed proud. Starting back in 1908 in a very modest way, it has enjoyed a more or less steady growth until it is now considered to be the equal of any college store, regardless of the size of the student body, in its service to its patrons, and, in its reasonable prices. The last two years have been very trying ones to business in general, owing to price reductions, to a falling off of sales, and, to the losing of old customers occasioned by misunderstandings. The Co-op, however, has come thru this period stronger than ever as the students have realized generally that Mr. Baughman and his as-sistants, Miss Heaton, Miss Lund and Mr. Gaasland, have ever been on the alert to give efficient service, reasonable prices and courteous treatment. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 62 ---------- IJu ttr Eiibraru We, of the Bellingham Normal School, are very proud of our library-and of our librarian. It is a just pride, one that grows and strengthens every time we make use of a book or spend an hour there. Visitors tell us that ours is the best Normal school library in the Northwest. We know, from constant use of and intimate acquain-tance with it, that it is even better than they say. With a librarian like ours, a library is bound to develop. Miss Wilson has stamiped her personalily indelibly on her department. Her breadth of vision has enlarged the vision and comprehensiveness of this "''workshop"'' and her energy and tireless efforts have made it keepl pace with the years. Twenty-five thousand volumes at our disposal! And such books. All that is standard and best in fiction, essay, drama, travel, biology, history--a multiplicity of subjects. There simply is no end to their scope. Miany a student has thought up all sorts of profound and un-usual subjects, just to see if the library would be equal to it. It al- ways is. K A library in themselves are the books on education and peda- K gogy within i's walls. Comprehensive literature on every new phase of education is found ihere. Books are being constantly added to this section, as the need for them arises. The periodical room is eloquent of Miss Wilson. Each month finds one hundred and fifty splendid new magazines, educational jour-nals and scientific papers spread out and waiting for us. Every pub-lication is among the best, eminent among its kind. The library is not only extensive; it is completely organized. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Anyone can hunt down a subject sucessfully and capture it in this well-ar-ranged, and logically planed place. The service given by the library each year is simiply amazing. The rooms are open from early morning until late at night. Hun-dreds of students enter, leave, study, draw out and return books. Yet the noise and confusion is kept down to a surprising minimum. Through the stress and hard work the "library people" are ever courteous, patient and eager to help. What is the secret? Order! The very book-cases and diction-aries breathe it. Here, thanks to Miss Wilson, the way of the trans-gressor is hard. Rules are few and simple but inexorably kept. On this basis, the library has been able to function with a thoroughness * almost unbelievable. With these standards of service and of effi-ciency, it is bound to improve and to develop constantly.

Was it this determination that helped the Juniors to reach the top? If so, may all other clases below them enter with the same spirit and enjoy victory and triumiph such as the Juniors have enjoyed. In other words, the class of '23 has had a most eventful year. It began when the football season opened and the Juniors showed their spirit by turning out. Seven letter men were Juniors. Keplinger was an all star end, while Tryggvi held the other end down, with the strength of Ulysses. Rairdon (Pop) preserved the stonewall appearance as heavy charges of the opposing line advanced. Hoyt at the other tackle was hard to move as Mt. Verdun. The gateway to success was guarded by Knowlton, while McComas played the part of center and Gaasland (they cal him "Hag") being the speedy man known as the helf-back, time ,after time circled the opposing line, carrying the Normal School to victory. Thus did the Juniors do honor to their class and Alma Mater. Again, in basketball, the Juniors composed the larger part of the team. Trusty Keplinger, faithful McComas, and "Star" Vanderford all brought credit to their class. The second team, almost equal to K the first, held the following Junior class members: Oscar Lindstedt, Marion Reddick, Porter Hatley, and George Abbey. The girls' K team fairly dazzled us with their victory, winning the Kline Cup. Many have said the Junior play, "Little Women," was the greatest success of the year. The class acknowledge their deep debt to Mr. Hoppe, who contributed largely to the success of the play. Three peppy mixers were given. These mixers speak for them-selves, owing to the livewires that composed them. They showed the real democratic spirit of the class. For the first half of the year the officers in charge were: Stan-ley McComas, President; Blanche Davy, vice president; Ethel Ashley, Secretary-treasurer. The latter half: Harold Gaasland, President; Jeanice Turner, Vice President; Sam Ford, Secretary-treasurer. They have done much in the interest of the school and class. The different committees appointed thruout the year have done their work faith-fully and well. Some of these workers were: Helen Hightower, Robert Caulkins, Irma Bond, Jeanice Turner, Ann Rouchy, Gertrude Egbert, and many other loyal Juniors. The class claims the honor of the nominee for Tulip Queen, the business manager of the Messenger, and the two best singers in the school. Mr. Bond and Mr. Kibbe were the class sponsors and much credit is due them for their interest and advice. And so ends the year for the class of '23. Each member has given all that is in him and success shall be his reward. May other Junior classes contribute as much to our beloved Alma Mater. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 68 ---------- SCHOOL YELLS Hip, Hooray! - Team ! Hip, Hooray! - Team ! Reh ! Reh ! Reh ! Reh !

Shephens) "But he loves me, Grandma." "No, he no love you; white man no love squaw, he tell 'um lie, me know."' "But I am no ordinary squaw. My father was a Russian and my eyes are blue." The old Eskimo woman mumbled something in a low, gutteral tone. "He asked me to marry him, Grandma, and I promised to marry him when he returns, later in the summer. I met him at the hospital across the river. He found out that I had been to school out in the states, and he used to walk home with me after school. Sometimes we walked home by the river, but he liked to walk around by the marsh, because he said he didn't like for the other government men to see me." "White man no good. He no love like Eskimo. He love money." "He crossed the river on the same boat I did, Grandma, and he was here at Nushagak for two days. I wish you could see him." The old squaw sat on the floor in a dark corner by the little cook-stove, sewing a strip of Arctic rabbit skin around the top of a seal-skin moccasin. She bent low over her work, making slow, wide stitches with a coarse needle. Her dim eyes could hardly distinguish the color of the bead work. She raised her eyes and peered out at her grandaughter; her wrinkled, immovable face resembled a dry, shriveled potato. "Me see himt--me walk by water-tired-me sit down-he walk by. Me know him--all same boy-smoke paper smoke-hands look-um like girl. Heap plenty gold teeth. White man no love squaw, me know. Me live, too. White man like drink, sourdough-he no catch-umrn fox-make-um squaw work." Konnyu, with an armful of mucklucks and furs, stopped with her hand on the door latch and looked back at the old woman. "Grandma, please get out of that dark corner, and come near the light, and for goodness' sake quit sitting on the floor. I want you to learn to sit on a chair, like you did last summer." Konnyu stepped out into the biting west wind and carried the furs and mucklucks to the fish cache. It had been a late spring and now, in June, the grass showed green only in little patches. The crew at the salmon cannery under the hill by the river had come in through the last ice-drift and were busy over-hauling the machinery. " n_ ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 71 ---------- Konnyu, before entering the cabin again, stood looking across the wide, muddy river. The snow and ice glowed with varying shades through the persistent mist. A few early sea-birds circled above the drift-ice, and sounds of hammering came from the cannery. A sense of disgust came over the girl when she re- entered the cabin. Around the walls hung old fur clothing; in the corners things lay in a heap, where they had been thrown from time to time during the winter. The squaw got up from the floor and llolbbled to a chair near the window. Her face did not show the emotion that was troubling her. The thought of her grand-daughter's marrying a white man made her heart sick. "Grandma, you must learn to wear that corset I made for you, for I want you to look nice when the white man comes back. Oh, mercy me! Look at those red curtains sewed with white thread. Grandma, I am going to paper this room, scour the floors, and make new curtains for the windows before he gets back." "Me work cannery-me strong-me give money you-you marry Thorus." "I will not marry Thorus. Thorus is only a trapper, and he is half French. I love a white man." The middle of July came and great beds of wild flowers covered K the valleys and mountains. Rain storms swept over the land and sea with such fury that it was no longer safe to venture out on the water in kayaks. The fish boats skurried for shelter, their brown sails re-sembling butterflies with crippled wings, hurrying before the storm. Konnyu's heart burned and swelled until it almost choked her. The white man was three weeks over-due. Day after day she slipped away by herself and climbed the hill from which she watched boat after boat grow from a mere speck until it went chugging up to the cannery dock. But the white boat with the two yellow masts did not come. Week after week sped by and the natives began to whisper at the Greek church. The old priest shook his head in wonder; he could not understand why Konnyu had quit playing the church organ on Sunday. M1iany times Konnyu walked around the mountain to the place where she had said good-bye to the white mian. "He will come back. He will come back," she told herself over and over. One night, when a light wind blew gently from the sea, the water ran in swells of gold, and the sky was streaked with topaz and crim-son. Konnyu entered the church yard, and looked up at the picture of Christ over the door. "All white men say you were the greatest white man that ever lived. Father Mittenloff, he tell me pray you. He said you give unselfish prayer answer. Then why don't you .. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 72 ---------- answer my prayer, dear God? You know that I have sinned, but dear God, if he don't come back-Oh pity me! Help me, dear Christ-God." Leaving the church yard, Konnyu followed a caribou trail around the mountain to the sea. The wind moaned in the tall grass, and the deep howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the valleys. With lowered head she returned slowly along the trail, thinking of her great sin. The stars in the heavens glowed in purple-pale strings of light. Konnyu closed the door quietly behind her, and noiselessly went to bed. The deep breathing of the old Eskimo woman told her that she was asleep. As time went by and the white mran did not return, the old Eski-mto woman nodded her hed in satisfaction. She hobbled to work at the cannery, and stored her earnings in an empty salmon can. "Me give you and Thorus," she told Konnyu. The first of August came, the fishing season was over. The sum-mer was changing to fall, and still the white man did not come. Her eyes grew wild and pitiful. She met the old priest on the hill one y afternoon, causing that white-haired old man to find his cabin in haste. "You are the priest and you lie, you lie damn bitter lie. Oh, why K Q do you stay here? God! There is no God. You say me comae back and God will forgive me. You bring back mny white man and then I will believe God." Late that afternoon, rain swept over the land and sea. Great green waves foamed along the shore. Funeral clouds hovered and drifted near the earth. Konnyu, barefooted, bareheaded, and wild * with fever, followed a caribou trail through the deep grass. The wind and rain beat the flower petals to the ground. Konnyu stopped where the giant waves rushed in from the sea. She talked and swore fran-tically tearing her hair. For hours she roamed the beach, until at last a coolness crept over her. The climax was reached. Half drowned, she reached the cabin to spend the night in sobbing. All night her grief tore her. Outside the wind moaned shudderingly. Through the little window next morning she looked off to the south. A misty orange flush suffused the dun-colored sky. She no longer read her books; she moved about the cabin, the corners of her mouth twitching. The fall wore away into November and the pearly snow crystals once more drifted over the sea and the land. Dog sleds were coming and going through the Arctic day. The great ball of fire rose along the icy horizon; the sky remained a purple blue. The snows were purple, with just a few dashes of red in the roads. At night the North-ern Lights filled all the heavens. 72 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 73 ---------- 1 St . .' II I' L_ I ( Konnyu's love had burned out. She talked little, she showed a kind devotion to the old Eskimo woman. With her dog team out on the trail she often met Thorus. She nodded, barely noticing his broad smile and white even teeth. She never entered the church again. Sometimes at night she slipped into the church yard to pray. She often peeped in at the window to see the beautiful painting of the Madonna. With her snow-shoes on, she went around the mountain one day to the place where she had said good bye to the white man. A pearly vapor now filled the valley, and ptarmigan flew in flocks before her, their beady black eyes showing against the white density. The sun, a flushed crimson ball, edged along the wintry outline of the moun-tains, purplish, snowy glitter. Konnyu watched the sun slowly sink, like a great blazing globe into the sea of fire-flushed, ice. The snowy mountains about glowed with warm cheer. The ice turned to purple, and again to blue, and then to winter darkness. Konnyu returned stumbling through the blue, black darkness to the village. Two weeks later Konnyu gave Thorus his final answer, and she watched him disappear one, night with his team of dogs. Long she stood and looked across the vast expanses of smooth surface, polished by the constant winds. The glow of the moon gleamed like isles of silver in a motionless, deep sapphire sea. The old Eskimo woman was waiting for Konnyu when she en-tered the cabin. "You no go to Thorus? Thorus, he say, he love you......!" "No, grandma, that is all too late now. Please don't say any more about it." "Thorus, he good . . ie like children." Konnyu went into her little room and closed the door. She sat by the window, looking out over the frozen sea. The old dull ache came back to her heart, and at last tears rolled down her cheeks. She put on her furs, land slipped out into the night. The Northern lights were playing in splendor. By degrees, the rose-colored sky assumed the hue of old gold, the violet embroideries of clouds changed to purple. Soon new celestial torohes lighted the changing sheen of the snow. At the church, Konnyu looked in at the picture of the Madonna and child. At the grave yard where the crosses stood in silent watch, Konnyu stood at the grave of her mother and her father. Her face was motionless and white. With her snow- shoes she skimmed out over the ice. The howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the ice. The ice glowed with purple and orange. Still farther Konnyu went. All about her were great air-holes. The wind hissed. There was a short heart-breaking sob. That was all. The Northern lights glowed and danced, and the howl of the wolf-dogs rolled over the ice. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 74 ---------- 04r lose erruteb Aurl a of vet (Mary B. Egbert) This poem is an outgrowth of meditation suggested by the first part of the Greek legend concerning Adonis, who disregarded the voice of Venus (Love) in his pursuit of the wild boar, and also, by the pretty fable by the Persian Saadi Moralist concerning the scented clay that drank in the fragrance of the rose in "Brilliants," by Charles II.

Thou are leaving the cheery old fireside, my boy, For a voyage through lands that are strange and untried, To you dream of success in the pathway of joy; But remember, my son, there's a way that is wide And a way that is narrow and straight in this life, And the choice is with you, so whatever your path, May it take you from malice, from envy and strife, To the things of great beauty, the best that He hath. K K You may cross the wild billows that toss on the sea, You may serve as a warrior and win in the fray, But forget not your loved ones, your mother and me And our prayers for you, lad, at the close of each day; You may pass through the depths where the down-trodden dwell, You may suffer their sorrow, their anguish, their woes, But remember we love you, God loves you, Farewell! Let the clay of your castle be scented with rose. 'T'he Voice of Youth. Free! Free! At last I'm free! No pressure now to hold me back, No quiet voice to say, "Nay, Nay!" My hope, my dream; Free! Free! The Voice of Vision. Behold! A noble youth! See! There he comes! His head is lifted high, His manly form erect, His step is firm and sure; But look! He halts! He falls Beside the coppice there. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 75 ---------- Youth Speaks. Love! Love! I never really thought of love before,-- I hoped to win by power of wealth alone, To conquer every foe on sea and land And sit enthroned with none to challenge me; But now this wondrous vision pure and bright Bespeaks a fruer, better way. I pause: It points a straight and narrow pathway up To realms of purest joy. But, what is fame And what is wealth? They're things Ihat fade and pass I can not take them with me when I cross The other shore. That's what my father meant-- The way: The narrow way, the path of joy My choice ! The bloom and sweet perfume of rose To scent my clay. I rise and hence away. The Voice at the Gates. Behold! He joins l he multitudes, The careless, drifting crowds that pass; They play their charms and tempt the youth And, pleasure mad, he yields: Alas! Virtue. Voices of the Seven Virtues. K (an he, the son of man, forget so soon His grand old father's worthy counsels wise? Can he forget his vision 1here beside The coppice green, beneath the star lit sky, Where God revealed to him a better way? Alas! 'Tis so! No thought of choice with him! The multitudes unceasing pass and he The ape of men who rush for thrills ensues. His modern death-defying motored speed Leaves far behind the furious Jehu pace. And painted Jezebel decollete', Thru plains of Merma leads another youth By feigned love, unholy, thus astray. Knowledge. Alas! With liquid notes of magic charm, Entrancing ways, bewitching heartless smiles, She leads him forth to darnel fields and leaves His there to eat the bitter colocrynth. Behold! Confused he wanders aimlessly About! No sleep! No rest! A tempted soul Besieged with malice, hate, revenge! O Woe! What noble of deeds of purest worth could be Achieved if every act of mortal man Found birth within the living springs of good. I- ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 76 ---------- T But look! That noble stalwart youth bends low. A mloment! Wait! He shakes his clenche'd fist He leaps! His face is black! His eyes flash fire! His jaw is set! For evil now he's bent. Temperance. The clever imitatress, subtle and shrewd, Makes void his first cupidity, makes void His wild and doltish rage, and now he seeks To ease his tortured mind, to lose the pain Of unrequited love. Imbittered, too oft He feasts as Elah (lid. (Zimri curbed.) Patience. In daily passings too and fro within The Pleasure Palace dim, he sees the wrecks Of love and home, the lustful lucre plague That robs the bloom of youth and kills the soul. Atropa mandragora shrieks, and lo! Our youth uncovered sees; he hears; he's mad! Godliness. Behold no rest for them who walk with him. No halo crowns his head. No aureole Of sainted splendor bright lights up his dark And dismal clay. No cheery note for joy K Of life or hope divine inspires the souls Of weary pilgrims drifting down the plains Of Merma there beyond the living streams. Kindness. His tongue knows not the law of kindness now For selfish greed usurps it's throne. A flame Of rancor burns within his aching breast, A seething caldron spouting oaths of hate. Love. And love, that tender healing, soothing love That comforts man and knows no selfish creed, Is choked in him by cruel bitter hate; A savage, stinging vitiating hate Which like the boar Adonis chased has tusks; Each tusk a monkshood-poisoned arrow sharp. They pierce, and wound; yea and more, they kill the soul. Doom Song of the Virtues. A mighty man is fallen A life in sin is bred ! And through his wounded spirit The poisons quickly spread! ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 77 ---------- A mighty man is fallen, A youth is bended low, And from his wounded spirit, (The streams of anguish flow! Doom Song Changed to Hope. But look ! In robes of purest white Across the arid waste The Maids of Mercy haste, They lift his wounded form And bear him quickly hence. Beside the living streams Where healing waters flow, The fires of glory glow: (Unselfish deeds of love Within the Doors of Hope.) In pastures green he lies Beside the waters still, Beside the steep Pureza Hill, Whose verdant slopes refresh K The eye and calm the soul. Unconscious lies he there Without a thought or care; The Maids of Mercy fair With tender skill asssuage His wounds and fevered brow. At last he moves and knows The things that are and were: But sad regrets now stir Within his tortured soul That once was glad and free. He thinks once more of youth, The hour when he was strong When life was free from wrong, And sobs of anguish shake His form now bent with grief. The Maids of Mercy tell Of love that wins in strife; He seeks their way of life And wearied, falls in sleep To hear the Call at Dawn. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 78 ---------- I TIlE CALL AT DAWN. A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimlpse of the gold of the day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And the call is to me, "Arise, be strong!" The glow of the dawn on the purple peak, The flash of it's beams on the rocks so bleak, A rift in 1he night of my spirit's gloom And the call is to me, "Repent or doom!" The gleam of the gold on Ihe mountain streams, The home of my youth in the day of dreams, The trust and the love of a mother there And the call is to me, "For life prepare!" A silvery sheen on the water's blue, The play of the lights on a drop of dew, A longing for love and His strength divine And the call is to me, "My strength, not thine!" The silvery notes of an angel choir, K The harp and the lute and the golden lyre, K A glimpse of the Home on the other shore And the call is to me, "Go, sin no more!" I bow at His feet ere the break of day, Repent of my wrongs and my sinful way, Lay all on the altar and lo, He is near! And the call is to me, "Arise, no fear!" A rift in the grey of the misty morn, A glimpse of the gold of the day unborn, The voice of a bird as it wakes to song And the call is to me, "Arise, be strong!" Voice of Vision. Hark! I hear the quiet rush of angel wings, And lo! The glory choir celestial sings; A wayward sin sick soul on earth repents And joy sublime, exceeding great, now vents Itself amidst the glory crowned throng: Youth hears the call divine, "Arise, be strong," And lo! He leaves behind the Merma plain, With all it's ruthless waste, and countless slain. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 79 ---------- He scales the rugged peaks and verdant hills Of Mount Pureza fair, where rippling, rills The s reamlets crystal clear; where sings the thrush, The hermit thrush in mossy forest's hush; Its modulated tones, exquisite rare, In tranquil clearness sweet, doth fill the air; Where sings the thrush, the sweet wood- thrush, its calm And restful hymn of praise; a healing balm Of hope and cheer at dawn, its flute like call Out there beneath the blue in sylvan hall. Behold! An angel messenger descends And close about his manly form she bends! She gives him faith to purify his heart, A shield of faith to quench each wicked, fiery dart, To keep him steadfast in the past of right. Behold! Another messenger in white Descends to place a helmet on his head! To place salvation's hope where fear was bred. And now with this the glorious burst of day Comes Love the greatest gift of all. A ray Of ardor burns his soul! He kneels in praise And finds no coined words by which to raise His voice to God in prayer. But heaven hears, And angels sing beyond this vale of tears K For joy at one now safe within the fold. K He consecrates himself to God to go The straight and narrow path in life, and lo! There is a multitude of Heaven's throng In songs of praise to God; and Youth is strong. Youth Speaks. My heart o'er flows with joy sublime I walk in strength of love divine, No cloud of darknes mars my way For Christ is now my rock and stay: A noble service too is mine, For I have heard His call divine. I stand beside the narrow gate, Between the ports of choice, to wait Each youth who ventures near And points to him without a fear, The road that leads afar from hate To plains of peace in God's Estate. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 80 ---------- I point him to the best in arts, To gems of thought that thrill our hearts, To notes inspired by gifted skill 'In love and not for greed to fill Man's purse.

Clark) Ah, love to go a wandering Upon a windy hill; To find a little golden stream And kneel and drink our fill! To come upon a friendly trail That beckons us away, Among the clouds, across the hill, Into the breeze swept day. Our little house is warm and bright And happy there am I-But ah, to go a- gypsying Where blue hills touch the sky. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 81 ---------- (By Margaret Bowen) Say, did you see the curve on that one, Phip?" "You bet. It was a beaut. Here, give me another, if you can." Phip braced himself for another swift return. "Gee, you have a Jim-dandy swing, hasn't he, fellows?" "I'll say so.'" "You tell 'em"'' "Sure thing," came from the other admiring youngs'ers, who had stopped playing' "catch" to watch Billy's throw. Johnny Gibson plumped his fist hard into his mitt with the force of an inspiration. "I say, Bill, why don't you get up a neigh-borhood team?" "Sure!" took up Dan Wint ers. "Here's eight of us in our gang, and Bud Simpson's crazy to get in. He's in the sixth "B". Won't he do?" "''Sure, Billy, let him in." "Let's do have a team, Bill." "Bud's good enough." "Say 'Yes,' Bill. Come on." "Well, it's a go," pronounced Billy finally, "and if you'll prac- tice hard, we'll challenge the bunch on the Hill, and have a reg'lar game." "Hooray!" "Three cheers!" " That's the stuff,''" chimed Ihe "''gang"'' in chorus. "Practice? Just watch us." "When're we goin' to begin?" "What'll we call our team?" "We'd better call it 'Lincoln Park.' We live near it, and every-one will know where we are, then." "Hey, listen, " cut in Phip. "Hickity, Hack, K, hark, Bickity, Back, K, bark, HOOray, HOOray, Hooray for Lincoln Park." Plans and practice progressed with a will. IL was nearly eight weeks until the close of school, but the first Sa'urday of vacation was set for the great game with their rivals on Greenwich Hill. Bud was duly initiated, and became a proud memlber of Billy Chace's "gang." All the players practiced faithfully, afternoon and evening, under Billy's direc:ion. Sporting papers, rule books, stories of baseball stars, were eagerly s udied and discussed. Billy was a good pitcher, and the other positions were practiced until the team work was al- ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 82 ---------- most automatic. Nothing, scarcely, was talked of but the team, and the families of the boys soon kinew all the details of the coming con-test. Billy's father was especialy interested. Mr. Chace loved base-ball, and was secretly proud of his red-blooded, young American son. Altho away every day at the factory, he saw enough of Bily to know all about the team, and the great fight in prospect. He wondered what kind of a leader "Bill Chace's gang" followed. "Well, Billy, so you're teaching the fellows to play ball?" "Gosh, no. They know as much about it as I do." +" "Then don't they 'row' when you give them directions?" ques- tioned his father. " 'Row'? Well, I should guess not. If the team decides to do anything, the first crabber gets out. See?" "Yes, I see. But Billy, why don't you teach your team some tricks? There are lots of easier ways to lay fellows out than by fanning them. Why don't you learn to use your heads against their heels ? " "You mean like spiking 'em, or something like that? Why, Dad, that's not square. What if somebody else would do like that, what would you say?" He caught the twinkle in his father's eyes, and stopped. "All right, Billy, be sure you remember about the 'crabbing,' K and that idea about the other fellow is worth holding on to." His father turned to his newspaper again, but Bily thot for some minutes of what he had just said. Finally he broke the silence. "Dad, I'll promise.' "What?" "Not to crab, and to remember the other fellow." "Good." The next week Mr. Chace brought guests home for dinner-Mr. t Delton, who was his new superintendent, Mrs. Delton, and their son, Thomas. Tom was a little older than Billy and a half-grade ahead of him in school, but he was not as tall nor as broad. They lost little time in getting acquainted, and the conversation soon turned toward baseball. "Play ball much, Tom?" "'You bet!"' "We've got a team here at Lincoln Park. We play the Hill fel-lows two weeks froml next Saturday." "Say, Bill, is your team all full? Dad's bought that new, brown bungalow in the next block, and we'll be living pretty near you, soon. " "That's great, Tom. Come out some night when the team's prac-ticing. It's full now, but we'll see." Later, to himself, Billy wondered which of the fellows he could possibly disappoint. He thot about it a good deal. Tom might not do at all, and he might be worrying for nothing. Yet the new boy ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 83 ---------- had spoken very confidently. Well, some fellow would drop out and let Tom in for the good of the team. It would not be fair to the rest to stay in and lessen the chances of all for winning. But would the other be fair-letting a new man in so late ? There were only sixteen more practice days before the game, and their teamwork ought not to be tampered with. If Tom were awfully good they might-Billy finally decided to wait until they tried him out. Mlonday found Tom at practice promptly with the others. Billy introduced the "new kid," and then drew him away to try out his catching. He was not a good catcher. Billy found himself rather glad. Tom was pretty good at getting high ones, but no better than their own fielders. Maybe his problem was settled without any fur-ther complications. Billy recalled himself with a start. There had been a wicked, little twist on that return. He took more notice. Inside of half an hour, Billy had to acknowledge that whatever else Tom Delton was not, he certainly was a pitcher. Billy got to bed early that night, but stayed awake with his eyes shut for a long time. Why did this Tom have to come and spoil it all, anyway, just when everything was going fine? Well, he did not have to let him play; he guessed he was captain and could decide as he pleased. But that would not be a square dealwith the team. K Tom was better, and he ought to let him play. Should not the captain K look out for his team more than anyone else? Putting Tom in might spoil the teamwork. But then, Billy had to admit that was not so. The fellows had practiced so long together that they were not easily rattled and Tom would have almtost two weeks to master the signals. He could put Tom in another position. But he would be no good ex-cept as pitcher. Well, if Tom had to pitch, Billy himself would play another position. Here again fairness confronted him. It would be a mean trick to drop another boy. Little Bud Simpson, he knew, would willingly give up. Billy turned over in disgust that he should think of it, after Bud had worked so long and faithfully. The boy tossed restlessly all night in his sleep. At practice the next day Tomn Delton pitched. The team thot little of it. Billy was allowing that in order to come out and coach them the better. But Billy taught Tom the first signals that night. ' 'What's the matter with your team, Billy," asked his father on Friday night. "I haven't heard much about it for some time." Billy reddened a little, and tried to put on a good show of en-thusiasm. "Why, it's coming just great. The teamwork is better every day. We're workin' too hard to talk much now, you see." Billy's father agreed that he saw, but did not say just what he was seeing. He waited for Billy to say more, but he son excused him-self to go out to practice. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 84 ---------- Tom practiced regularly now as pitcher. In spite of liking Tom, Billy sometimes caught himself wishing that something, not too serious, but just serious enough, would happen to Tom Delton before Saturday. He kept his own throwing arm well limbered. It did not seem possible even yet that there was only one more practice before the big game, and that he might not play. Something simply must happen. At last several of the boys came to him after their final practice Friday evening. "Billy, who's goin' to pitch tomorrow, you or Tom Delton ?" "I don't know," answered Billy shortly, turning away. "Don't forget what I said about eating, and be sure to go right to bed. Two o'clock sharp tomorrow, at the park. G'night." His father had left for the office when Billy appeared the next morning. Mr. Chace was as interested as Billy in the events of the afternoon, and during the morning called his superintendent into his office. "Well, Delton, don't you think we'd better go to the ball game this afternoon? Meet me at ihe south door at one. We'll lunch in town, and surprise them at the park." A quarter of two at Lincoln Park found Billy Chace nervous. K He dug his heels into the turf, unconsciously thumped his bat up and down, sat down, lay down, and got up again. Why didn't the fel-lows come? (It was still ten minutes until they were due). He thot he saw Bud away down the street. Panic seized him. What would he tell the team when it did get there? He would tell them something definite. Carefully laying his bat on the ground, he straightened his cap, put his hands into his pockets, and sat down in the bushes. "Your arm's in fine shape, Billy Chace, but you know very well that Tom Dalton's is better. Why don't you decide, and quit acting like such a fool? All you want is to be out there where everyone can see you, and hear them yell, 'Hooray for Chace.' It's a wonder your cap doesn't split right now! Look here, William Ruggless Chace, you are going to send Tom Delton into the box. You are going to sit on the bench, coach the fellows, and leave Tom in the box, unless he is absolutely rotten. Do you understand? And don't be a sissy, and change your mind a dozen times before three o'clock either." "I say, where's Bill? It's five after two." Billy laughed to himself, reached thru the bushes, and gave a fat leg a jerk. Stubby sat down suddenly. "Right here, Stubbs. Hello, Don, I must have been asleep," he added, grinning. "Come on and catch for me, one of you, until the other fellows come. Hey," he sang out to the bunch coming, "get a move on, you guys. The Hill fellows will be here pretty quick." 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 85 ---------- By three o'clock a crowd of boys and girls and a miscellany of older people had gathered. Billy was just ready to send his men out, when he caught sight of his fa her. He hesi ated a momenf, and nearly gave in. Then he turned to the expectant boys. "All right, fellows. Let's go. Snap into that lively, Tom." The game was on. Billy was soon absorbed in the play, yelling, encouraging, coaching the fellows on the bench. Mr. Chace watched his son and smiled. They won, and when the triumphant captain got home his father met him at the door. He said, with a big hand on Billy's shoulder, and an emphasis Billy never forgot, "I'm proud of you, son.

Crim-son and brazen it was, as if half obscured by the wraith of some guilty soul, crimson with the blood of past misdeeds. The black, low islands, fringed with palms, appeared here and there on the horizon, and then dropped slowly out of sight as if glad to escape the great bloody eye of the moon. The slight, warm breeze that slipped through the rigging of the ship louched mly face with the touch of dying memories. The atmosphere of the night weighed upon me, but I scarcely noticed it, in my anxiety and worry. Each throb of the old tramp steamer's engine seemed but the echo of throbs of my heart, but the heart of the steamer beat in rythm, while mine would race with hope for a few minutes, and then almost stop in sudden despair. The frag-rance of the sweet southern fruit in the hold of the ship did not de-light me as it usually did-it somehow irritated nme and made my fever greater, for Ellen loved the scent of tropic fruits, and she was still so far away! The steamer seemed to be enjoying the soft warmth of the K southern sea, for it crept along very slowly, with a certain air of luxury about it. It was like an old, old native woman, drinking each moment's cup of comfort to the very last drop. A terrible old woman, heeding no one's happiness but her own. Gradually I worked myself into a half frenzy--what a fool I had been, what an unutterable fool! What if I should reach home after -but no; if I thought of that my reason would surely desert me and I would be of no use. Now, that telegram-such a small piece of paper to carry such terrible, terrible news! "Come quickly-.Ellen dying-Mother." What golden days we had 'passed before I was sent here brim-muing with sunshine and joy--and Ellen was the center of all the sun-shine and joy in the world for me. Then the clouds of good fortune came, and my chief offered me a Commission to Malaya to settle some inconsequential misunderstanding with the natives. The price of my going left me breathless. I accepted the work and hurried to tell Ellen of it. As I hurried I was thinking that perhaps it could be our honeymoon-and what a honeymoon that trip would be! Tropic flowers and tangled jungles, and Ellen more beautiful than any tropic flower that grew. I told Ellen my plans with incoherent bub-bling words, but, when we asked her mother and she refused Ellen her request and pleaded her ill health, I thought I had realized the utter-most depths of despair. Ellen's mother was a half invalid-but she i ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 87 ---------- II JA' G r,57'x" i was also an inveterate society climber, and a big church wedding for Ellen and me would have given her an opportunity to climb one step farther up the ladder of social success with unrelenting firmness. She held her point and Ellen, good and dutiful daughter that she was, agreed to her mother's demands and even reproached herself for wanting to go in the first place. So I went alone and spent my time on the boat in hating and wondering at the "why" of ambition such as Ellen's mother had. My work in Malaya was nearly finished-hard head-straining work it was-when that lelegram came. Ellen was hurt! Dying! I took the first boat home I found-why hadn't I waited a day ald taken a fast San Francisco liner? But I hadn't and now, evena now, Ellen might be (lead ! And yet the boat crept along- slowly, throbbingly-one day followed ano'her with heart rending monotony and all nature seemed at peace and rest! The air was very still-a despairing calm came over me. I looked up at the moon-it was as clear and pure as the depths of great floating water lily! A little way down the moon-path was a misty, drifting shape-as it came slowly nearer, it seemed the form of an angel. It seemed that I had seen it before, and I forgot all else, so closely did it compel my attention. It floated nearer, it was Ellen herself-- no. Oh no-not Ellen- but Ellen's soul! I felt no sadness-no sorrow; I reached out my arms to her and called her name. Lingering sweetly, she smiled, and then stood before me and above me. I tried to grasp the end of her fluttering scarf and her luminous, lovely hands, but clumsy hands grasped only-mist. Then Ellen leaned closer-closer-put her mist hands upon my eyes-a white, sweet pang went thru me, and the world was a dark, whirling chaos. I sank thru countless ages-and then-I slept. How long I was unconscious, I do not know. To me it seemed many years; the others on the steam;er probably called it many hours. When I awoke it was still night-smothering and dense. I felt bound -I could not move more than a fraction of an inch. Something caught in my throat-some one was speaking. I knew who it was. It was the old negro steward. "Is dis all right, Cap'un, suh?" "Sew it a little tighter, Jase; poor boy, it was terrible the way his anxiety killed him. He had a weak heart, I suppose." The greathearted old Captain passed on, and I heard him talk-ing in a subdued voice to the first mate. Slowly, bit by bit, the situation came to me-terrifying, appal-ling. I had remained unconscious so long that the unschooled cap-tain had thought me dead, and I really was bound-bound in the canvas cerements of those who are buried at sea! My head reeled and whirled like the moon on a cloudy, wind-driven night. My heart nearly stopped and then began to pound against mny ribs furiously. After a few moments I grew cooler and my brain cleared. I must tear the canvas, for the steward had left ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 88 ---------- me and no one would notice me till I was lowered into the sea. I tensed my muscles for one great effort. I strained-but the canvas would not give. Three times I tried-then-surely I heard running foot steps that grew louder quickly. I rested a moment, for my s rength was almost gone, then put all my remaining strength against that canvas-it strained-it tore! I tried again-and the canvas fell from me-the seamis gave way-and the cool, caressing winds were blowing over mse-the blessed winds of heaven! I looked at the canvas-I stared-for the canvas wrappings were torn indeed--only the canvas was made by a firm which manu-factures a very good grade of wool blankets, blankets which are very hard -o tear! And the wind-- was blowing thru my bedroom window! I leaped to the window; surely the moon would be crimson, or at least, a great white disk ! It was neither-only a weak, watery cres-cent. What was the use? I tumbled back into bed and tried to keep warm in the cold February night with the torn canvas (?) blan-kets in which I had nearly been buried in the tropic sea.

Hill) I stood in an iron foundry. I saw a heap Of old iron, broken pumps, shoe lasts, And fla irons. There was pig-iron, too, Ruster, ugly. I said to the Master, "What can you do with this? It's purpose Has been served. There is no good in it." The Master gently answered, "Judge not hastily- Wait and see. His helpers took up the iron and put it In'o a furnace. The flames grew very hot, The bellows fiercely blew. It seemed to me That naught was left but fire, which burns a space And 1 hen is gone forever. I said again, "Is it not lost ? Will it be found once more?" He smiled-"Naught shall be lost. What seemeth loss Is really gain." At last the work was done. From out the furnace door There poured the iron-a streami of liquid fire! I gazed, spellbound and dumb, the wonder of it Was so great. "Is this the end? Oh! 'tis worth the fire And every trial beside, that ugly iron Should blossom into beauty fair." The Master Smiled. " 'Tis not the end-the work I meant Is but begun." They poured the glowing stuff into molds, And hid it in black sand. I waited to see What wondrous thing would come of it. The Master Gave the word. The molds were opened. Within Were new pumps, and shoe-lasts, and flatirons. "0 shame," I cried, "that such unearthly beauty Should descend to uses so base." The 1Master chided, "What us is molten iron to man? From this Take a lesson to thy heart: Be cleansed; Be tried in the fire-but more than purity Is service." ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 90 ---------- arrria Atut---lttruber (By Gladys Southard) Martch 2, 1922.

I had to learn all these things on account of if I ever get lossed and some one who finds me wood wonder where I lived at. My teacher is Miss Gale. She has lue Eyes. I brought her an orange yesterday. She is pretty. Her name is Miss Gale. She is teaching us to right letters. She gave me a star because I wrote a perfick letter. She said we should have some littul friend to write a letter to once a weak so we wood not get out of practise. Some littul friend who has moved away. I only know one littul boy who has moved away but he is not a freind. He is terruble. He set fire to my selaloid doll one day. He said it wood not burn. It made a big blaze and when the fire went out there wasent any doll. I am glad he moved away. I suppose you wonder where I found your adress. It was in my big sisters adress book with lots of other ones. It said Mr. Robert E. Lee, 1513 13th Ave., Seattle, Washington. hTat is a long adress to remember. I wrote it down. I know who you are. We have your picture in our history book. You have gray whiskers. You are an old man. You fought in a war. I thought you were dead. I guess you are not. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy P. S.-My big sister Gloria knows you very much. I asked her did she like you and she got red and asked me did I clean off the mud off my shoes and if I dident I better do it right now. P. S.-My sister goes to normal. I am going to normal when I get big. Martch 8, 1922. Dear M r. Robert Lee, I told my teacher I was righting to a friend. She was very glad. She gave me a star. Many things have happened sinse last week. My big sister has a new fellow. He is tall and has black hair and a mustash. He sells oilstook. I think thats what Pa calls it. I do not like him. Gloria does. He pats my head and calls me littul one. That makes me mad. Pa doesent like him. He tried to get Pa to buy some oilstook. Pa said no he got stung on a gold brick once. I asked Pa where the gold brick was that he got stung on and Mister Smead said oh this 4 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 91 ---------- was a sure thing and Gloria she hunnied around Pa after Mister Smead left and said she thought it was terreble because Pa woodnet buy any. Pa said twas all right and took off his shoes and put on his house slippers and went upstairs. Then Gloria went upstairs and cried on Mas shoulder. She looks terrable when she cries. She said she guessed anybuddy nice as Mister Smead was honest and Pa acted as if he wasent. Then she crid some more and said she wood of put ten dollars in oilstock if she hadent bought that jorget hat. Ma said yes dearie yes dearie. Ma likes Mister Smead. He sent her a big bouqet of krisanthums and Gloria a bunch of orchids when he went away one weak end. But I notise he never sent me anny-thing and I have to clean out the ash tray after him neerly every morning. The old lizzard. Gloria dident send only one letter to you this week. Ma noticed it two. She usually sends three or four at leased. The other night Ma told Pa she thought you and Gloria were practicly ingaged but Pa laphed at her. Gloria doesent know her own mind he told Ma. Then they saw me. I thought you was in bed young lady. Says Pa. I came down to ask Ma where my middy tie for tomorrow was. I says, Well dont sneek in so quiet after this. Says Pa. I knew you and Gloria werent ingaged but I dident tell them so. You are two old for her. I looked at your picture in our history again. Your wiskers are alwost white. You are very old. K I did not know old mien went to unionversity. When Gloria came back from Seattle she offen talked about you. She told Ma she thought you were a peach and an old dear. She did not say how old. She was always righting to you then and if I sneazed or coffed she made Ma send me out of the room, so she could get a littil sense to her letter she said. She made me so mad once I woodent pick up hairpins off her bedroom floor for a weak. I gess she likes Mister Smead the way she dolls up. She combs her hair funny now. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy. June 20, 1922. Dear Mister Robert Lee, A terruble thing has happind. You remember I told you about Mister Smead a long time ago. About a month ago. So many things have happind I havent had mutch time to right. Well Mister Smead is gone and Pa says he wont come back. I dont see how Pa knows. I will tell you all about what happind sinse I rote you last time. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 92 ---------- About two weeks ago when I was coming home from Janeie Briggses I was tiptoing over the wet grass where the sprinkler had been put after Pa had made the lawn and I stumbled over the sprink-ler and fell kawash. I fellt terrable. Mostly on account of what I knew Ma wood say. I was brushing the cut grass offen my middy and wonderring what I wood say to Ma when I heard voises on the front portch. I heard Mister Smlead say littul one and I wasent going to let him talk about me with out me knowiing it. I sneeked up and sat down by the Virgina Creaper ver still. Littul one he said really you don't know what youve ment to me. I knew then he wasent talking about me but I just coodent go. Then Gloria said Oh Larry so funny. Then they dident say anything for a long time. I thought girls were shallo fickle creechurs but you are so dif-frent. I love you Gloria said Mister Smead. I knew I ought to go then but my foot was asleep and I reely coodent budge. I stayed just another teeny minute but when I thought how terrable Glori wood feel if she saw me there and how terrable she wood make me feel if she cought me I got up on my feet which were both asleep (and you can't think how terrably they felt) and hobbeld around to the back door. I went upstairs and I gess I m~st have taken a terreble long time to undress. Because pretty soon Gloria came upstairs and went K into Mas bedroom and I heard them talking terrably fast and loud and I heard Gloria start crying and then laphing. In the morning at breakfast Gloria had on a new ring. It was two big for her. I found out next day that it was Mister Smeads, and that it was a frat ring whatever that is and that he told her he was going to get her a dimond pretty soon. She was blushing pretty and she had an extra good do on her hair. Pa acted trubbled and left as soon as breakfast was over with. About ten oclock he came tearring back home. He was so excited he nearly fell over Gloria in the hallway. She was trying to get Mister Smead over the telephone. No use to try to call up that jay snorts Pa hes skiped the country. Pa came in and told us all about it. He said Mister Scroggs of the First Nashnel Bank had been superstishus of Mister Smead from the very first. He looked him up Pa said and found out he was giving the people a raw deal. I asked Pa what a raw deal was and was it good cooked and he said hush up an why wasent I at school. And I says it was Saturday and Gloria ran off to her room and Ma went after without even washing the pie dough off her hands that she had left on when Pa called her in. About all Gloria did was stay in her room and cry. She dident come out all day. She dident even let Ma come in very much. 09 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 93 ---------- I heard her say o1t0h ink he was a. faker and a cheat once when I went passed her door. Next morning she came down to breakfast. She ate breakfast without saying a word, so I gess she felt pretty bad. Thats all that happind for about a weak. Then one evning when I past the door to go to bed she and Ma were talking. Oh mother she said I reelize now it was only a mad infatuashun. His clothes his style his talk. We were never sooted to each other. We quarled a great deal. He was so selfish. I reelize it now. I am glad this happind. It woke me up. I see his faults so plainly now but his personnalty covered them when I was with him. It was all a silly love affair. But mother Gloria started crying t errably the sad-dest part is that the man I reely love I have treated like dirt, like dir'-. And then Gloria cried something awful. I went away and pretty soon Mia came out and when she saw ie she said not to make any noise because Gloria had a wreched headake. The next morning when I past Glorias room the door was open. I went in. The waste basket was nearly full of torn letters. I read some of them. Some of them said Dear Robert I know I have been at fault and Dear Bob In my last letters I was not nice to you and Dear Robert I want you to forgive me and lots of others. None of them were finished. I ran down to our mail box but there was no letter there for the mail man to post. Gloria had not written a real le'ter to mail. K Gloria is awful sad. Ma is sad. Pa is sad. And I go off to see Janie Briggses nearly every day after school. Yours truly, Marcia Ann Percy. June 24, 1922. Dear Mr. Robert Lee, There is the nicest man at our house now. He is Glorias new fel-low. He is lots diffrent than Mister Smead. I like him. So says Gloria. So does Ma. Pa does two. He came from Seattle. He just graduated from unionversity. He is ingaged to Gloria. Gloria said she knew him before. They are terrably in love I gess. Gloria is so happy. His name is Robert Lee. Robert Lee. Why thats your name. I never thought of that. Ill bet hes your litlul boy and your his Pa. Ill bet he wouldent like it if he knew I was righting to you. I gess i better not right any more. Oh well Janie has moved away. I can right to her. Loveingly yours, Marcia Ann Percy. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 94 ---------- Mouutai Ireb (By G. K. Stephens) Mavis stood for a while shading her blue eyes with her brown hands, gazing down the rough mountain road. The figure of her father failed to appear. A blue jay scolded hoarsely in the beech tree by the well, flitting from bough to bough. The log cabin perched upon the mountain side, the sun bakled cornfield behind, and the green wooded heights beyond glimmnered in the sunlight of the early autumn afternoon. The girl crossed over behind the well, waved a friendly hand at the blue jay, and climbed the rail fence, half buried in wild honey suckle. She followed a narrow trail winding through the cool trees, her pink calico dress and red sun bonnet flaming against the green background. Keeping up an easy stride she at last came to the rough, rib bones of a deep gorge. As the mountain water raced over its rocky bed it sent up twinkling, whispering notes. Mavis put her open hands to the corners of her mouth and called. Only the echo came back for an answer. She sat down on a flat rock beneath an oak tree. The K soft wind roused the trees, and the sunlight streamed through brok-enly. She leaned back, her thick braids dropping forward. She K knew he would come presently, tall and strong, with his squirrel rifle across his shoulder, smiling with love all for her. Thus lost in pleasing day-dreams she dozed away. A gunshot broke the stillness. Mavis jumped to her feet, alive and alert. In a clump of trees across the gorge a breath of white smoke rose and melted away. Something fell in the underbrush. After an interval a m;an emerged. "Oh! hits ye," she exclaimed. "Yes, hits me," he answered, quietly. "What did ye-all shoot, Jim ?" Leaning on his rifle, he looked at her helplessly. "Mavis, honey girl, do ye-all love me ?" "But what did ye shoot at, Jim?" "''Mavis, honey girl, swear that ye love me." "Youens-all know I love ye. My men folks kill yours, and yours kill mine; s'ill I love ye." "Then Mavis, honey gal-" "Quick, Jim, tell me." "Hit was me or him, Mavis, honey gal, and if ye don't believe , me I will go wi:h the sheriff." Her body trembled and a wave of trouble crossed her face. "What- quick-tell me! Who? Oh! My God, tell me, tell me a now. Don't wait, Jim." XT ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 95 ---------- She looked at him, her eyes wide and terrified. "Hit was me or him, Mavis, but I shot first, and I seed his face when he fell, Mavis, honey gal. Hit was yore dad." A low moan, a terrible moan, a moan that means a change in one's life, shook her. Her eyes were pitiful and pleading. She fell toward him among the drifted leaves. He carried her away through the woods until at last they came near a falls. He laid her on the moss where the drifting spray came up. An hour later they had made their plans for the future. "We'ens will go West, Mavis honey gal. We'ens will all go tonight, and live like the young preacher man says. Live like Chris-tians, Mavis, honey gal." "Hain't any of we'ens all left now, but me and ma, Jim. But I love ye, Jim." "Tonight then, Mavis, honey gal." "Tonight," she repeated hurriedly. She walked fast through the gathering gloom. As she neared the cabin, she pased the hen coop where a flock of half grown chick-ens with ragged feathers were going to roost. They chirped drowsily as they crowded close together for the night. When Mavis reached the cabin her mother was sitting on the little porch smoking a stubby corn-cob pipe. "KY our dad shore am late, Mavie. 'Peers to me I heard a shot down by the gorge about an hour ago. I don't reckon ye happened to come by that-air way?" "No. I come by the spring." The old woman darted a glance at her, but Mavis' look was as indifferent as her voice. They sat for some time in solitude. Crickets chirped, katydids murmured, and an owl hoo-hooed out on the heights. The old woman arose and entered the cabin, dragging her heavy shoes across the rough floor. Mavis sat for some time lost in troubled thoughts of the silent figure that lay half-buried in the underbrush down by the gorge. At last a young moon peeped above the heights, and off to the east dark clouds rolled near the horizon. Mavis arose and entered the cabin. 'After the simple meal, Mavis climbed the ladder leading to the unfinished room next to the roof. She lit the lamp and placed it on the table near the only window. The light shone out on the soft branches and leaves of the locust tree in the corner by the lean-to. Mavis sat for some time with her face buried in her hands, but she finally gathered a few things together and placed them near the window. A friendly whinney came from the barn; looking out she saw the old white mare moving about. The girl remembered then that she had forgotten to feed the horse. I1 r ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 96 ---------- The dark clouds were fast spreading across the sky, and light-ning flashed above the hills off to the east. When the old clock struck ten, Mavis crawled through the window, out on the roof of the lean-to kitchen. She hurriedly climbed to the ground. The wind moaned through the pine grove, and from far away the baying of hounds floated out over the night. She s'opped and looked back at the cabin. Bounce, the old shepherd dog, was following her. She scolded him. He whined, sitting in the middle of the road, and watched her disappear around a a bend down the mountain. The deep voice of rumbling thunder rolled over the sky. Large drops of rain pattered through the trees. Near the gorge Mavis found him holding two Blue Grass horses. They were startled by hearing some one call from across The gorge. Bounce, the shepherd, came bounding around the bend. They led The horses into the shadows by the trees. Presently, when 1he moon peeped through the clouds for an instant, Mavis saw her mother with the rifle across her shoulder, standing, looking across the gorge. Again the call came. T'he old woman answered. "That ye, Pa?" "Yes. The young devil thought he got me, but it's just a K scratch along by my ear." K The old woman hurried across to him. The rain was coming faster, and The lightning broke in orange and yellow streaks. The sounds of galloping horses came from down the mountain. The old womian, with the heavy frame of the man leaning on her shoulder, stopped and listened. "Father, Father," she said. "I would jest as leave see her in hell-fire." At Tunamp in tp Nortl4lan (By Floris M. Clark) The pearl-capped mountains tower toward he moon, As pure and unattainable as they; The cool wind murmurs thru the monarch pines, Rippling The moon-path on the Alaskan bay; And underneath the darkness of the pines A camp fire glows, a spot of warmth and cheer, Freedom from prisoning walls and crowded streets! A camp fire, with the pine trees murmuring near! ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 97 ---------- ROBERT SHAMBLEY "We were to have a new schoolma'am," said old man Porter as he drew his chair up on the opposite side of the stove and sent from his puckered mouth a small dark cloud that barely missed my head and lit directly behind me in a box of sawdust. "She were to be the first of that specie in this neck of the woods. You know in them days, some forty years ago, that is before the time of the Northern Pacific, every bit of the grub we wanted, we packed smilingly over the hills from Olympia. Them were the times when every mouthful came twenty miles on the tender of your back. "As I said a while ago, we were to have a schoolma'am and she were to be a girl from Ford's Prairie. Appears like the Boyer's had met her at a church picnic somewheres and she bragged on Mrs. Boyer's good pies and nice cookies; she had a permit and wanted a job so we-all decided to hire her and start a school in our church-house. "We had a lanky, unhandsome youth here, by the namle of Braker, Bill were his common name. Now, Bill were the only member of our male population who didn't have someone at home to dictate his thots. We decided it would be a discredit to our community if that schoolma'am left it alive and unmarried. Charlie Haskins and I talked it over, and Bill had heard so much of her beauty from the Boyers he decided he would win her or suffocate in tryin'. We had also heard she were a reg'lar church- goer; so Charlie an' me decided to break Bill in by takin' him to church. "As per instructions, Bill gets himself a Bible and a song book and Charlie and me escorts him to the house of worship. Charlie takes the lead and I holds Bill be'ween us and steers him straight up the aisle and down in a seat betwixt Charlie an' I. Everyone appears so surprised to see Charlie an' I at church that I gets uneasy an' looks around, an' Bill's smokin' his pipe! Bill gets powerfully intirusted in the first song, and in spite of Charlie and me jabbin' him in the ribs with our elbows, Bill were transversin' the last line of them four verses, while the congrega'ion had stopped to get their breath before attackin' the second stanza. Then Parson Watkins offered a prayer; me and Charlie grabbed Bill's hands just as he were about to demand an encore. Then came the sacrament, served by Mrs. Ainsworth. Before I could stop him Bill had half the little biscuits and was drinkin' down the wine. I felt real sorry for the poor lady when the tears filled her eyes; for it meant twenty miles for more wine. "Well, I jes' state these incidents as evidence of Bill's ignorance and to show you how Charlie and me threw our reputation to the winds all for Bill. ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 98 ---------- I I "At last the schoolma'am came. Bill got a new shirt that ap-peared as tho some one was playing a game of checkers on it and moved so many times they got disgusted and quit; a new celluloid collar that you could look in and see whose coming to town, if Bill were standing out there on main street; a coat that almost forgot to quit and a pair of pants that didn't hardly commence. Dick Osgood gave his old derby hat that had begun to boast that its ancestors were Irish. We couldn't find no shoe polish so we scraped up some ink and we polished the hat also. "The night came for Bill's first meetin'; he was to escort her home from church. Here in the meantime it was agreed I was to sneak up and sit under her porch to see that Bill made no mistakes. I impressed Bill not to try and shake hands the first night as it never paid to be too forward; Bill went to church and I sneaked to my post. "I must have gone to sleep for all at once I heard her and Bill cooin' an' I felt somethin' scratchin' and pushin' at my back; gettin' disgusted, I reached around in the dark to get what I thot was a cat. It weren't long till I realized it were a skunk. Bill and her dispersed. I decided right there Bill would have to practice his love appeals on Charlie as that weren't any safe above under that porch. "Next day we met right here in this selfsame post- office. Bill told us how he looked into her eyes and saw cabbage growing in a lit le garden around their home and all that time he had a itching at his heart. I told Bill 'twere all fancy and he no doubt got flees from that pesky dog of ours. But Bill raved on about his divine lady and I bet Charlie five dollars Bill would be married at the end of a month; I only got two and a half because Bill made the hitch before two weeks. "Maybe you've never been a married woman and taught a lot of young fellows how to dance; when they learned they quit you cold and sallied forth with the very same girls that refused to accept 'em until they were graduates. Well, that was the way with Bill an' us. After Charlie and me brought him up from the slums and accepted him as a protygee, so to speak, he married that schoolma'am and whenever he saw Charlie or me, he got a kink in the back of his neck that pulled his chin higher and higher till he was clear past us. All ihis time she'd look at Bill and grin pretty; like a spider grins at a fly that's caught in its web and it expects to live off of fer a while. 'Now, Bill's dream of cabbage around his home never matured; for it would be askin' a favor of a water-lily to grow in such a place. It seemed Bill needed a babling brook to murmur his undying love to his learned bride. So in a little canyon where a brook blowed that summer, Bill built his home. There they resided till the first floods of rain in September an' then Bill's litle brook became a roarin' river and Bill's place laid with one corner hangin' onto Squire Davis's fence post. I I I I fi ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 99 ---------- That weren't enuf to discourage Bill so he bot that land from Squire Davis an' put three more fence posts under the house and ap-peared to get more dignified on account of the altitood of his home. Under that high house Bill made a pig-pen and it weren't long, only a few years, until them hillsides were gruntin' with pigs. About that time the railroad came rushin' thru and nestled down here for six long months to cut thru this Porter Bluff. En' durin' that time the railroad men must eat; so Bill's herd of grunters dissembled down to a soloist, which Bill kep' as a souvenir. From that time on Bill's smile were worth a couple thousand. "After we had all declared Bill crazy with swine-itis he came out of our prediction announcin' prosperity. Then came the panic of '93. Dollars wuz so seldom seen that if it hadn't been fer a stray eagle flyin' over now and then, we'd a clean forgot th' emblem of this United States. "Well then, Bill wasn't content with being king o' the mighty dollar association of our neighborhood, so he made a display o' spend-in' every cent of his two thousand dollars for limber claims, and you can bet he got a lot of them. Why, in them days we wuz more par-ticular about the lumber we burned for wood than you are about your coffins. Bill worked on the section to pay his taxes and Charlie Haskins laughed at him. But Bill plodded along happy, like that fellow among the cannibals that wuz to be cooked fer a mulligan and had to furnish his own kittle. Bill hung on like mad. Say! don't you know Bill? Bill that had his picture in last Sunday's paper with the big high hat and swaller-tailed coat? Bill what's going to take a trip to Europe in his newly-assembled yacht? Say, didn't you read that ! Bill that's worth ten million! Well! Well! Don't know Bill! I'll swan !" 3rishl lumber #ong (By Floris M.

News, jokes, announcements-these are but a few of the things that make the Messenger a weekly forceful reminder that the Normal is a live school-that its faculty and students are really accomplishing things. Beginning shortly before 1903, the Student's Association has published The Weekly Messenger, and has endeavored each year to make it more representative of school life, more intersting and more worth while in every way. At first the Messenger was published quarterly, then monthly and, since 1916, weekly. The Board of 100 ANNE BRAN NICK - ----- ------ P aunt ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 101 ---------- Control, made up of five students and two faculty representatives, is responsible for its management. The organization of the Messenger consists of a business manager who receives a salary, an Editor-ii- Chief who receives four credits in English, and a staff of reporters who receive two credits each. The business manager is elected by the year and the Editor-in- Chief may receive credit for only one quarter's work. The regular issue of the Messenger contains eight pages, but specials containing exira pages are sometimes issued. A high grade quality of magazine paper is used, which makes it more attractive than the ordinary school paper. Its attractiveness is also enhanced by the quality and beauty of its cuts. Believing that the duty of a paper is to attract and interest i's readers the management of the Messenger has attempted to get away from the old lime, long drawn out news articles, and to make each item stand out so vividly and compellingly that it must be read. From a random census taken in the school, it was found that almost in-variably the students now read the Messenger from cover to cover. The editorial policy of the Messenger the past year has been a constructive one, keeping in mind at all times the best interests of the school. Wholesome physical and social activities have at all times been earnestly championed and high standards of scholarship continually upheld. The Messenger has also increasingly urged stu- K dent attendance at all school activities. It is commonly accepted as a fact that the Messenger has done more than any other one institution to create a real school spirit. At the beginning of the first quarter, Roscoe Altman, a graduate of Whatcom High School was elected business manager. He gave up this position at the end of a month as he was forced to leave school for the time being. Wade Bristol, a graduate of Nooksack High School, was then elected business manager. Under the business man-agement of MIr. Bristol the Messenger has been put on a sound finan-cial basis. It now has more inches of advertising than ever before in its history, and it is believed that the advertisers are getting results. Dorothy Forch, who spent time in the University of Idaho and the University of California, was elected editor for the first quarter. She came well recommended and proved herself well fitted for the po-sition. Nothing escaped her eagle eye, and under her guiding hand th Messenger was, throughout the whole quarter, a common medium of informiation, instruction and entertainment. Anne Brannick, a graduate of the Assumption High School of Bellingham, was elected editor for the second quarter. Anne proved herself a real journalist and under her leadership the Messenger became probably morely widely read than ever before. She was especially noted for her clever editorials and the enthusiasm aroused in school activities by them was undoubtedly beyond parallel in the history of the school. 1777 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 102 ---------- Oliver R. Ingersoll, a graduate of Nooksack High School, was elected editor for the third quarter. His chief aim was to make the Messenger such that it would be read by all students, and to increase its attractiveness in every way. Under his editorship the use of filler was for the most part done away with and each item or article pub-lished invariably dealt with something of interest to students. He also encouraged the drawing of cartoons and during the latter part of his editorship several were published. Miss Olive Edens, the Messenger critic, left in the middle of the year for a tour of Europe.

At Sedro-Woolley, on October 15, the Normal defeated the Wool-ley High School, 14 to 0, in the first official game of the season. Ex-cept for scoring, however, the game was in no way one-sided. Wool-ley made big yardage in Ihe first two plays, and the two teams di- vided equally the possession of the ball from then until the end of the first quarter, the Normal having it in Woolley territory at the close of the quarter. Soon after the beginning of the second quarter it seemied as if the Normal would score, but she was held for downs on the five-yard line and Woolley took the ball. A few minutes later the Normal got the ball and began advances, but was halted for downs on the ten- yard line. From then until the end of the first half, neither goal was in danger. The third quarter began with a repetition of the same perform-ance, and ended with the Normal in possession of the ball. In the final quarter, with the ball on Woolley's 15-yard line, the Normal was given 7 yards' penalty on Woolley, and on the next play Gaas-land put the ball across for the first score in the game. By a series of short plays ending in an end-run by Fisher, the Normal added another touchdown. "Keppy" kicked both goals. Normal line-up: Kepplinger, Radcliffe, Cone, McComas, Knowl-ton, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Gaasland, Macpherson, Campbell, Fisher. Sub-stitutes: Allen, Miller and Hatley. 104 I i ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 105 ---------- On Saturday, October 22, the Normal squad met the Keyport Torpedo Station eleven, in the first home gam;e of the season. During the first minute of the game, Keplinger, right end for Normal, made a thrilling 70-yard dash, ending in a touchdown. The Gobs received on the next kick-off, but the Normal got the ball on a forward pass and a few minutes later "Keppy" trotted over the line for another seven points. Score at end of first quarter, Nor-mal 14, Keyport 0. "Keppy" "knocked 'em dead" again in the second quarter, by breaking away with a forward pass and tallying seven more points for the Normal. In the second half, the Gobs made yardage several times by line plunges, but were forced to punt on their 60- yard line. "Rusty" Campbell began hitting the line for small gains until within 5 yards of the goal, when he himself carried the skin over for the final score of the gamle. In the last quarter, the Normal was within one yard of the goal when time was called and the game ended 28 to 0. Normal line-up: Keplinger, "P op" Rairdon, Radcliffe, Mc- Comas, Knowlton, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Macpherson, Miller, Fisher and Campbell. Substitutes: Wynne for Knowlton; Cone for Wynne. It was on a sloppy home field that the Normal met and defeated the eleven from the College of P get Sound, October 29. C. P. S. K received at the start, and for a time seemed to have things her own way. Soon, however, the Normal got the ball and at the beginning of the second quarter sent Macpherson across the line with it. Tacoma kicked, and a little later Macpherson staged a place kick, adding 3 points to the score. The Normal, feeling satisfied with her achievements, went to sleep long enough for C. P. S. to score 6 points via the touchdown route; but in the final quarter "Rusty" Campbell sealed the victory with another touchdown. Final score: Normal 17, C. P. S. 6. The most noteworthy incident in this game was the place kick by Macpherson, who kicked the wet, mud-covered ball the neat dis-tance of 35 yards, over the bar. This is a feat seldom attempted under similar conditions, and very rarely accomplished. 'Normal line-up: Keplinger, Rairdon, Radcliffe, McComas( Cone, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Campbell, Macpherson, Gaasland and Fisher. Sub-stitutes: Miller for Fisher; Knowllton for Radcliffe; Powell for Kep-linger; Keplinger for Powell; Hatley for Cone; Cone for McComas. The first and only defeat of the season came on November 4, when the Niormal met U. of W. Frosh here. Although outclassed and outplayed, the Normal team fought hard to the finish, and the game was closer than the score might indicate. The Baby Sun Dodgers scored a touchdown and goal in the first, and again in the last quar-ters of the game. Macpherson's 30-yard pass to Tryggvi in the last 105 : r ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 106 ---------- .c eight minutes of play came near to causing a tie score, as the field was clear, but Tryggvi dropped the pass, and the Frosh began a series of passes which ended in another touchdown. Normal line-up: McComas, Knowlton, Cone, Rairdon, Hoyt, Tryggvi, Keplinger, Campbell, Fisher (Captain), Gaasland and Mac-pherson. A fitting close to the Normal's football season was made here on Armistice Day, when the White and Blue met and defeated St. Mar-tin's College, of Lacey. The game was close. Although the Normal goal was threatened twice, the invaders were kept from scoring by hard fighting. The first half was about "nip and tuck" with the * visitors playing a little better than the locals. In the second half Gaasland replaced Miller and added fresh strength to the offense. After a series of plays, linebucks and passes, the Normal put the ball on the one-yard line. Captain Fisher carried it over. From then till the end the teams see-sawed and fought for possession of the ball. The final score stood: Normal 6, St. Martin's College 0. Normal line-up: Tryggvi, Hoyt, Cone, McComas, Radcliffe, Rairdon, Keplinger, Campbell, Miller, Fisher and Macpherson. Sub-stitutes: Gaasland for Miller, Allen for Gaasland. iDue to the extreme success of the latest football season, with all its handicaps, there is every reason to expect the development of a winning team next fall. Starting with no letter men and with no football field, Coach Carver developed a team which won four out K of five official games played. The following letter men have ex- K pressed their intentions of returning next fall quarter: Tryggvi, McComas, Knowlton, Rairdon, Keplinger, Miller and Gaasland. With these men to serve as the nucleus for the new team, and with the home field to play on, promised by the new administration, Coach Carver looks forward to the coming football season with much opi imism. 106 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 107 ---------- K' ./ S.

The Normal led all the way, showing better shooting ability. At the end of the first half B. S. N. S. led 13 to 3. Each team made 16 points the second half. The fast floor work and shooting ability of Vanderford and Hughes, forwards, the close guarding of Fisher and Keplinger, and the strong offensive and defensive playing of Cone and Black, centers, accounted for the victory. The Blues lost in the preliminary to Brown Cole, who showed nice teamwork. The game was made interesting by the fast playing of Allen and Lindstedt. Score 16 to 38. C. P. S. On January 14, in the Whatcom gym, the College of Puget Sound administered the first defeat of the season to the Normal five, by the score 23 to 15. The visitors held the lead throughout, showing ability for clever passing and shooting and close guarding. The first half ended 10 to 17. In the preliminary, the Blues won from Company E, 20 to 18.

Both teams played hard, the home team winning in the last few minutes of play. II I I 1 Ellensburg Normal. January 27 witnessed the defeat of the local Normal by Ellens-burg, 23 to 14, in the Normal's small gym. Hughes, star forward, for B. S. N. S., missed many shots by a narrow margin. The game was fast and clean. The visitors led 11 to 10 at the end of the first half. On the following night, in the Whatcom gym, the Normal staged a strong. comeback, defeating Ellensburg 18 to 10. The whole team starred, outplaying their opponents at every stage of the game. Vancouver Ex-Normal. The Normal lost to the Vancouver E-Normal, there, February 4, by the score of 16 to 26. This squared accounts, as the winners were beaten in Bellingham several weeks previous. The Normal team was weakened by the absence of Hughes and Vanderford, forwards. Miller and Allen filled their places, Mc- Comas, center, and Fisher and Keplinger, guards. East-of-Mountain Tour. The first game of the East-of-the-mountain tour was played Feb-ruary 6, with the Leavenworth Athletic Club, who were defeated by the close score of 21 to 19. Hughes and Vanderford did not accom-pany the team on this tour. Cone starred in this game, shooting the needed baskets. The next three games on the tour were lost by the Normal. On February 8, Cheney Normal defeated the invaders 25 to 17, in a hard-fought game. They secured the lead in the last few min-utes of play. Ellensburg Normal won two games from the Bellingham Normal, on February 10 and 11. The scores were, 30 to 9 in the first game, and 37 to 17 in the second. In both games Ellensburg held a strong lead all the way. Hughes, the Normal's star player and captain, was very much missed on this trip, as most of the Normal's teamwork hinged around him. St. Martin's College. One of the fastest and closest games of the season was played here on February 18, when the Normal team defeated St. Martin's College five by the score of 25 to 24. The score see-sawed back and forth all through the game, first one team leading, then the other The first half ended 16 to 12 in St. Martin's favor. In the preliminary game, the Normal Blues (second team) lost to Blaine High School by the score of 26 to 13, due to weakness in teamwork. .

On it the first squad depends for its practice and training, and from its per-sonnel are taken many of the first team players. This year the second team was a success in spite of the large number of games lost. Competition for places on the team was keen throughout the season, no man having a particular place "cinched." Steady improvement in passing and in general floor work could be seen throughout the season. It will surprise many a basketball judge if the fast, clever work of Lindstedt, Abbey and Reddick will not make them dangerous contenders for first team berths next year. With the coming long-needed gymnasium equipment, there are well grounded hopes that a first and a second team, of first rank, will be developed next year. 115 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 116 ---------- A4I w 116 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 117 ---------- The baseball season opened at the beginning of the spring quar-ter, with indoor practice. Mit practice continued in 1he gym, until the weather permitted outdoor practice. This had to be confined mostly to batting, as no adequate field or diamond was at hand. A practice game was played on March 25, with the Fairhaven High School nine. The outcome was in the Normal's favor, with the score 15-6. The main weakness of the team was wild throwing, due to lack of facilities for practice. Much hard slugging accounted for the Normal's high score. On April 1, the second game of 1he season was played with Sedro-Woolley High, whom the Normal trimmed 18 to 6. Much im-provement in throwing was noticeable, while the slugging continued strong. Batteries for the Normal were McComas and Thomas. The next game was played on April 12, with the High School at Ferndale. The Normal again brought home the bacon-Score 11 to 1. Batteries for the Normal were McComas and Thomas, Lindstedt and Knowlton. Special features of this game were "Gazzy," getting walked, and "Little Keppy" wading knee-deep through the mud, to capture a fly. On April 15, the Normal met and defeated the husky team from K Blaine High School by the score of 7 to 1. Batting was fair, but Ran-kin, pitcher for the Normal, deserves credit for the low score of Blaine, as support was weak. Sedro-Woolley came back for more, on April 19, and got it, the score being 11 to 3, in the Normal's favor. Batteries for the Normal, McComas and Thomas. On April 26, Ferndale High was again beaten, in a return game, 15 to 3. Stowell and Bristol pitched for the Normal. So far, the Normal has not been pressed, but some hard games are yet in store for her, on April 29, and again on May 13, with the U. of W. Freshmen. While the outcome of these games is uncertain, Coach Carver places much confidence in the twirling ability of Ran-kin, and in the steady hitting of Bristol, Keplinger, Rankin, Vander-ford, Stowell, and others. Those on the squad are Rankin, Thomas, Keplinger, Vanderford, Bristol, McComas, Jenne, Allen, Stowell, Lindstedt, Rue, Knowlton, and Gaasland. 117 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 118 ---------- Trark The big track event of the season is the meet with Whatcom High School, to be held May 6. Some good material is on hand for the var-ious events, but, as is the case in all the other sports, the Normal is handicapped by the lack of adequate grounds and equipment. The distance men are Abbey, Smith and Reddick, while Allen, Vanderford and Crane will represent the Normal in the sprints, and Allen and Crane in the hurdles. The jumps are contested by Allen, Abbey, McComas, Johnson and Crane; the pole vault by Allen, Black and Jenne. Weight men are Soffainason, McComas, Allen, Black. Abbey. Allen is showing good form with the discus, and Soffainason bids fair to take a first in the shot-put, having put the ball 461/) feet in practice. 118 4.F ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 119 ---------- 119 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 120 ---------- 120 . s ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 121 ---------- r " .a #ninr aakrthalltl ELLA NORLING Ella tired out many a good guard. accuracy.

Basketball and Baseball were the only sports, with a little tennis in the spring. Basketball is always the biggest thing of the year with the girls. , They started their training early in September under the strict sup-ervision of Miss Watrous, the very efficient coach. Every night from September till February, the "Gym" was used by the two classes fdr practice in order that they may clash at the proper time. The girls decided to play three games for the Kline Cup instead of two, and the team with high score at the end of this series would be entitled to the cup. This would keep the competition muach keener to the end. After many long days and nights of waiting the first game was played February 7, 1921. The game was fast and the Juniors took the lead in the first half, but in the last half the Seniors caught up with the younger team and when the whistle blew time, the teams tied with a score of 18-18.

Both teams were all keyed up with excitement and were at their best, ready to fight a long hard battle. They were well supported by their classes. The Juniors were the victors of this game winning by 17 points with a score of 25-18. At the end of the second game the Juniors were the proud pos-sessors of 43 points and the Seniors 26, but still the Seniors were not discouraged and declared that they still had a lot of fight in them, they also had "HOPE." The decisive game was played February 27, 1922. Everyone was there. The two teams came together with a bang and they fought the game fast and furiously, but the Juniors carried away the honors again, with a score of 20-6. And the Kline Cup was theirs for another year, with a final score. of 63-32. Both teams played good, clean ball, and every girl was a good a sport thruout the entire series. 124 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 125 ---------- (_i II' AAvoTh; IML. 125 Ih .

True Thespian spirit and pep prevailed from the very first meeting until the last. The club started off with a bang on its first meeting night, Sep-tember 29, 1921, with twenty new embers and* an equal number of former members. The new Thespians were very much impressed by the enthusiastic interest evinced by the old Thespians and were proud indeed to place their signatures on the membership roll of Bel-lingham Normal's only dramatic organization, the Thespian club. Thespian hospitality was in evidence after the meeting when a de-licious "feed" was served in honor of the new members. The club was fortunate in having a variety of talent which made it possible to give some excellent programs, featuring music and aesthetic dancing as well as dramatics. 132 -.. I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 133 ---------- It was the purpose of the club to study one act plays. About ten one-act plays were presented in the club room. Among these were: "The Maker of Dreams," and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by the Irish playwright, Yeats; "Trifles" and "Suppressed Desires," writ-ten jointly by Susan Glaspell and George Cram Cook; "The Rider of Dreams," which is perhaps Rigley Torrence's masterpiece; and "Nevertheless," and the "Medicine Man," by Stewart Walker, the origina t or of the Portmanteau theatre. A m!inute discussion of Stew-art Walker's interesting innovation, the Portmanteau theatre, was given and its good points so well brought out that the club waxed en- Ihusiastic about purchasing one, but the cost was found to be pro-hibitive. Amiong the year's most delightful evenings was the one de-voted to the study of 0. Henry, as a man and as a short story writer. The Thespian club's annual evening performance, given April 28th, was unusually successful. Three short plays, "The Land of Heart's Desire," the "Maker of Dreams," and "The Medicine Show" were presented. But do not think that the Thespians did nothing but work, for that certainly would be unfair to the many "eats" committees which the president found it necessary to appoint. Aside from the many smaller "feeds" given in the club room, the Thespians enjoyed two or three real social evenings "out." The K first was a masquerade party given on Hallowe'en night by Madeline K Hess at her home. The rooms were weirdly decorated in honor of the occasion and every member was masked. All professions, except the teaching profession, were represented. One young man went so far as to appear as an alluring young vamp. Nio, Erwin, I wouldn't think of telling who it was. Everyone had a jolly, good time, and at the evening's close refreshments in keeping with Hallow'en were served. On December 17, 1922, Thespians celebrated the season with a Christmas banquet in the private dining room of the Leopold Hotel. The table was appropriately decorated with a Chistmas tree, candy canes and other reminders of the Yule-tide . Howard Nessen, the toastmaster of the evening, unmercifully demanded an impromptu toast from everybody, the subject being the Christmas gift, which each had just received. The gifts ranged from kewpies and mechani-cal spiders to such prosaic things as scissors. .9 The Thespians did not gather again around the festal board till the time of the annual banquet, which formed a beautiful and fitting close to the Tehspian annals of 1921 and '22. 133 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 134 ---------- 4tilamtatiean Eiterarg oriety The Philomathean Literary Society is nearing the end of its twenty-second year, and still maintains its position as the foremost club in the school. The fall intiation was held at the home of Arthur Kolstad, on the banks of Lake Whatcom. At that time over thirty new members were taken through the mys eries of initiation. Many and weird were the stunts to which the candidates were subjected, the tragic effects of which were evident the following day, when the new Philos appeared at school in bandages of all descriptions but with beaming countenances. 134 1 II !II-- II ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 135 ---------- The next big event of the year was the Philo birthday party, held on November twenty-sixth at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi, at 916 High Street. Many Philo Alumni were present as well as the active members of the club. According to a long-estab-lished custom, the evening was spent in playing the Philo game, Lucien Loring carrying off the honors of the evening and receiving an appropriate prize. During refreshments several members were called upon for toasts, after which the guests departed. The party was one of the most enjoyable events in the club year. On February twenty-fifth the formal banquet of the year was held at the Pheasant. Guests included Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, and many Philo Alumini. The banquet was in the form of a progressive dinner, the guests changing tables between courses. A very inter-esling program was a part of the evening's entertainment. Toasts were given by Dr. Nash, retiring president of the Normal, Professor Philippi, sponsor of the society, and Professor Kolstad, honorary member of the club. Talks were given by several other members. The banquet came to a close following the singing of the Philo song. The Philos had the honor on the thirty-first of March of enter- taining the Cheney and Bellingham debating teams at a reception in the magnificently furnished drawing room of Edens Hall. The occasion marked the date of the clash between the two teams, in which our debaters, tho putting up a splendid fight, were defeated. Philos were proud to claim two of the Bellingham; team as active members of their society. These members were Miss Margaret Spaight K and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll. As the Klipsun goes to press the Philos are looking forward to the crowning event of the year, the annual week-end party, to be held at Mr. Kolstad's cottage, at some date in the near future. Hurrah for the Philos! May they always have as splendid an organization as they boast at the present time. Three cheers for Mr. Philippi, our sponsor! No club ever had a more worthy leader nor one who holds such a warm place in our hearts as he. 135 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 136 ---------- -7' jVung Wotin's (4rtstita Assortdtton OFFICERS LOIS HENDERSON, President ALMA BURDICK, Vice President JUDITH RING, Secretary FRANCES ROSENBERG, Treasurer CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES INGA BENTSON, Bible Study VIVIAN GUNDERSON, Meetings HELEN SMITH, ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 137 ---------- The first Sunday afternoon the president gave the message at the first meeting held in the Y. W. C. A. room. The regular weekly meetings have been held on Thursday at 2 o'clock and have always been profitable and inspiring. The first one was an informal social gathering at which old members told in what way the Association had appealed to them. The speakers at these meetings have been sometimes students, and sometimes faculty members, Missionaries and pastors. The most distinguished speaker was Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, a Bible teacher of national reputation. Nine Bible classes have been organized and carried on under competent leaders-Mr. Bond, Mrs. George Miller, Mrs. Kibbe, Mrs Hillis, Miss Gordon, Miss McDonald, Mrs. Templeton, Miss Sperry and Mrs. Vaughn. The subj 'et for this year has been the Gospel of Luke. At Dr. Nash's request, the Y. W. C. A. took charge of the recognation of Roosevelt day, and secured Dr. McPhail as speaker. Early in January the fourteenth annual Bible Institute was held for a week-end, during which seven excellent addresses were given. Mrs. J. A. Campbell, and Dr. Georgia Sattler, of Seattle, were the speakers. This was the big inspiration of 1he year, and one of the best institutes ever held. During this quarter Mrs. Clark, whose daughter is a missionary in Turkey, is teaching a mission study class in the Cross Roads of the Near East. The social service department, as far as possible, has carried flowers to sick girls. Beside the opening reception, a Thanksgiving party was given for all those in town during vacation, and a membership party at the home of Mabel Miller was given in honor of Miss Gordon. Doubtless the occasion that remains longest in the minds and hearts of all pres-ent is the sunrise Easter service on top of Sehome Hill. Only three times in fifteen years has rain prevented this meeting. This year the messages were brought by the girls. But that of which we are proudest is the fact that four of our student volunteers this year have taken up work in missionary fields. Esther Nelson '20, sailed in September to Burma; Violet Parker '15, sailed in November for Santa Domingo, and with another nurse has opened a hospital; Fay Bruneau left at Christmas to teach in Iquique. Chile, South America; On M1Larch 23rd, Clara Gordon '20, of our own faculty, sailed to Korea. This makes seventeen of our students who are under foreign mission boards, and three others are under home missionary boards. 137 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 138 ---------- 1rtbustrid Arts During the war many of the able-bodied young men withdrew from school to answer the call for service in the army, navy, aviation or the industries. Now that the war is over and conditions are get-ting back to normal many of these same young men are coming back to school, for their experience during the past few years has brought them to the realization of what a good education really means to them. They are also realizing that the teaching profession offers them many opportunities that other lines of work do not, even tho the return in dollars and cents may not be as great at present. However, the time is coming soon when that condition will be better, too. Those students who have considerable mechanical ability are at-tracted to the Industrial Arts, where a thoro training in the different lines of woodwork and drawing is offered. Because of the many at-tractive positions in this work all over the state many of the students are preparing themselves to teach these subjects. The number of stu-denis thus enrolled during the last two years has increased many fold, and indications are for an even larger attendance. But the interest in the woodwork and drawing is not limited to the young men alone for there are also a large number of young women in the department. This number is increasing every quarter, K which shows that the young women are beginning to realize what an K advantage it is to them to be able to handle woodworking tools and be able to make and read drawings. That they have the ability to do the work and do it well is being demonstrated every day, and quite a few of them are putting to shame some of the young men as to the quality of work one. Those students who have nt visited the shops and who have not seen the fine projects made there will find it worth their time and trouble to do so. We occasionally hear such expres- * sions as these, from students who have been in school here for one or even two years, "Why, [ never knew they did that kind of work in this school"; or, "I didn't know there was such a place here where they did furniture making. I didn't even know it could be done so well by hand." And when those same people find that some of that fine work was done by young women, their surprise is all the greater. Our advice to all students is-find out what is being done in all departments of your school so that when you are asked about the school and its work you are in a position to intelligently advise or inform.

The love of the North every year draws the Alaskans of the school into a group under the name of the Sourdough Club. It is a social club whose members are bound together by a common interest, but it also aims to be of real service by acquainting people with Alaska as it is and not as many imagine it to be. One of the biggest events of the club this year was the opening banquets at the Leopold Hotel. The decorations, place cards and after dinner speeches of course all centered around the subject of the Northland. Later Mr. Kolstad entertained the club at his cabin on Lake Whatcom and every member was thankful that he was a Sourdough. The club officers are: Adele Bunting, President; Johanna Mil-ler, Vice President; John Fuller, Secretary-Treasurer. The members are: Rita Gard, Janie Faherty, Eleanor Barrows, Lois Pice, Miss Rose, Floris Clark, Einer Christensen, L. I T. Barber, James B. Collins, Ward Thomas, George Stephens, Miss Montgomery, Mr. Rindal, Miss Keeler and Miss Wallace. Honorary members are Mrs. Rindal and Mr. Kolstad. 139 1 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 140 ---------- e (Apologies to Owen Meredith) You may have your dlepartment of music and art You may have your department of science apart, You may teach all the grammar and rules out of books But what would you do if no one trained our cooks?

They have also enjoyed very interesting programs given by their members. They have some very wonderful ideas that they are working out, and when they are worked out to their satisfaction they will announce it to the school. y T 142 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 143 ---------- j j Newmuan Club OFFICERS.

Treasurer The Newman Club organized early in the school year. A large number of girls joined the organization and helped to make it a very worth while and active club. Miss Knapstein, secretary to Miss Gertrude Earhart, acted as club sponsor. Always jolly, capable and willing, Miss Knapstein proved herself a very charming leader. During the second and third quarters, Mr. Hunt, who had been absent during the first quarter, took an active interest in the affairs of the club. He stimulated increased membership, and led the club on numerous hikes and picnics. Our two club mixers were especially jolly and interesting. Some really unique games were discovered at them, and some startling in-teligence displayed. Newman Club became famous for its "feeds." Miss Juanita Paradis proved herself a very energetic, capable, jolly president and all members of the club enjoyed her leadership. 143 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 144 ---------- 4 Otubio Art (lub "Art has been defined as the ability to answer in terms of beauty, a human need." Too many consider art only a picture in a frame, while in reality it is something vital that is always with us, whether it be the house we live in, a new dress, a book cover or a vegetable garden. The club has a large number of reproductions, in-cluding colored as well as black and white prints, which are for the use of the club members and art students. Some interesting phases of the club work are not only the study of artists and their produc-tions, but the members often meet for the purpose of sketching and painting. 144 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 145 ---------- This year they studied children in art; taking up various phases, such as portraiture and illustration. The regular program of the club is frequently followed by a social hour, in which the members become better acquainted with one another. This part of the meeting is made as varied and interesting as possible, since one essential part of a student's training is in the line of social leadership. The responsi-bility for the success of each meeting is divided so that each member of the club shares in turn Ihe various types of activity involved, thus getting not only art training but social training as well. The success of this phase is demonstrated in the efficient manner in which the members of the Studio Art Club act as hostesses and serve refresh-ments at the annual Art Department Exhibit, Open House day, and other occasions. It is this unity of purpose, this social spirit, and this willingness to bear and share responsibility that makes the Studio Art Club one of the finest organizations of the school. 1 Tho we may not yet be masters, Tho we may not yet have fame, Still we're studying and striving To win our club a name. 2 When some day in the far future Some of us have found success, K Some, perhaps, have lost their vision, K Rich ones, poor ones in distress, 3. Then we'll all of us remember, Looking back along the years The good times we had together, Our ambitions, hopes and fears. 4.

More than one was initiated in o the mysteries of our new home by the staccato sounds reverbrating through the house on our arrival. Truly, we began to think it was haunted when beds refused to stand up and rugs began to slip. Tours of inspection, however, soon revealed the wonderful beauty of our new home. The hall has been the scene of numerous school activities since its opening-two Alumni and a faculty banquet, the Philo reception K for the Cheney debaters, and the formal reception for Dr. Waldo. K Our own parties have been the jolliest ever. Hallowe'en was celebrated in a fitting manner by the spookiest of parties. The gayly decorated dining room was the scene of the occasion. The climax of our festive occasion was reached when we enter-tained the faculty and men of the school with a Washington party. Numerous balloons attached to the ceiling made our beautiful dining room even more attractive. Keen interest was aroused in the contest between the girls of the three floors, each presenting snappy, clever stunts. Songs around the blazing fire concluded the evening. We shall never forget the pleasures of Dormitory life such as spreads, frolics, dancing, and hikes. Best of all, the friendships formed cannot help but prove to be lasting ones.

BERTHA CRAWFIRD, Sponsor SECOND SEMESTER FRANCIS STILL, President MILDRED DAWKINS, Vice President G(LADYS OLSON, Secretary EDNA CARNINE, Treasurer MARTHA ANDERSON, Reporter RUTH GETCHEL, Sgt.-at-Arms BRIGITTA KANKONEN, Club Critic And it came to pass in the days of Aletheia, of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two, that a maiden of the tribe of Antrim, named Elnora, sat in the seat of the gifted and sang this song to her maid-ens: When twilight deeps o'er the purpling Sound And shadows lengthen dark on Sehome hill, A veritable silence settles deep and near An owl is heard far back within- these woods And silhouettes stand clear and blacky etched; 149 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 150 ---------- And low it calls, for fall has come to us; It calls for maidens of our Normal school, True maidens, laughing, eager, young, To make their lives more noble and secure. And so ten maidens heard the lone owl's call And came to sit together in a room High up, above the classrooms here at school. And they brought with them other maidens, too, All gifted, till their circle came to be A dwelling place of thirty happy ones; And with them came their sponsor, tall and fair Whose name is Crawford, beautiful and kind. Initiation came and went as planned, Mysterious in all its secret lore, And Hallowe'en loomed up a golden moon For all the maidens of Aletheia Came clad in costumes, beautiful to see, With masks that could not bide their merry eyes. The cafeteria rooms were filled with leaves And black cats pranced upon the creamy walls, While owls stood silently and dark And everyone mwae merry with her friends. But these ,lad maidens did not play all fall. They planned their programs with exceeding care, So that each land of import could be seen And studied well and e'en their songs be heard That all should culminate in pageant strong, Written by the members of the club, And given in Assembly some bright day, To show them all how other people live. And so the time was quickly passed and well And low the Owl called from the distant woods, Snow laden, reaching up their arms, He called the maidens round a radiant tree For it was Christmas time and hearts were glad. The tree gave up to each a dainty gift And candy canes were plentiful and large. At last the maidens went their separate ways And soft the snow came, fluttering to the ground. The weeks and months soon passed in quickening pace, The programs came to be a joyful time For much was learned and every country then Meant more to them for having learned its ways. Soon Spring came gently, in a lilting way, And all the woods were green and tender- edged; 1.50 I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 151 ---------- I ti r . '2 " The Campus had a greener, cleaner look And tulips lightly pushed their green tops thru. Another time the lone Owl called from out The secrets of his waiting, silent woods; His call was low but yet the maidens heard, And so they gathered at the home of one Who is their sponsor, 'twas St. Valentine's. A dear, sweet maiden, in a cool green gown, Who wore a sweeping crown of Titian hair, Was honor guest, for she was soon to go To distant lands to spread the English tongue And live in truth a calm and noble life. Gordon, Clara Gordon was her name, Once president of dear Aletheia And honorary member, by the grace of this. The lights burned low; a story long was told, And all too soon the time was come to go. The maidens bade farewell with right good cheer And gave to her the true heart of the club For they were with her in their love and thoughts. So spring was beautiful to see And all the world was bright with love and light. These maidens with their sponsor and the others Who grace Aletheia, honorary members, And who are known to all the school and us, As Laura McDonald, supervisor here, And Gertrude Longley, of Hawaiian fame, Went on a week-end trip to a fair lake Called Whateom, hidden deep among the hills. Glad and gay were the happy hours spent together, And all the maidens knew these friends the better. Then soon the maidens closed their club room doors And sought the open space for programs gay; Delightful were they in their peaceful thought Of Nature and the vaster open ways. And so it was these maidens lived in peace, All happy, with a purpose true and fine. When once again the lone Owl made his call, A vibrant voice, thrilled with the depth of spring, Of misty islands dropped along the Sound And sunsets deep with color and true life. And oh, Aletheia, he called to you, L~ I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 152 ---------- I 4 For you are Truth and Wisdom, even Youth, (And Youth is Hope, Success and High Ideals) Aletheia, your work is strong and true, It guides us as the light upon the sea Or sunrise on our rosy mountain peaks. Your life will grow and reach more maidens here, And bring them love for music, literature, art. Your spirit haunts the winding Sehome paths And Chuckanut or any other place That these few maidens have so gladly trod, And lives within the heart of the lone Owl Who calls so softly in the silent woods. " 1ER FALLEN IDOL ,. 152 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 153 ---------- Alk sta (lub In Volume I, No. 1, of the Messenger, published in 1899, we find the first record of our club's existence. At that time it was called the "Alcott" club of the Whatcom Normal School, and had as its aim practice in public speaking. Miss Ida Agnes Baker was the club critic. In 1906, the club then being seven years old, the memnbers decided to adopt a more mature name. At the suggestion of Mr. Forest, the name "Alkisiah" was chosen, this being an Indian name expressing the club's motto, "In the Near Future." And to the "Alcott" aim was added that of altruistic service and opportunity for the study of questions of the day. Miss Baker continued as the beloved sponsor of the club until her sudden death, January 29, 1921. In 1917, the Alkisiah club joined the National Federation of Women's Clubs, and is the only club in the school so affiliated. It has always stood for the very best literary programs and this stand-ard was surely upheld this year. During tfie first two quarters we studied the question of "Philippine Independence." Two interesting debates were held, several papers given and these papers and pro-r --- i~k ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 154 ---------- grams were of much benefit and helpfulness to the club. During the last quarter the club took up the topic "See America First" and several interesting meetings were held. These programs were al-ways followed by lively social get-to-gethers in which club songs were sung and each memiber became better acquainted with the other members of the club. One of the most interesting meetings was the one in which the Alkisiah "Round Robin" was read. This Round Robin is composed of letters from about thirty alumni Alkisiahs. One of the achievements of the year was the fitting up of the Alkisiah room in the new hospital. This room is being furnished in memory of Miss Baker. The annual bulb sale was held just before Christmas. This is a beautiful custom of the club. The bulbs are planted in the fall by the girls and sold just before the Christmas holidays. Among our social affairs for the year were parties and the an- nual banquet. The banquet was held on February eleventh at the Hotel Leopold. Besides the present club members and faculty ad-visers there were many alumni Alkisiahs present. An interesting program was enjoyed. At this time an auxiliary was formed com-posed of married alumni members of the club living in Bellingham. Of the parties of the year two are worthy of special mention. First, the initiation party, given last fall when about twenty-five active members and three honorary members underwent the terrors of initiation and were taken into the mysteries of the club; and teh afternoon spent at the home of Miss Moffat when the girls sewed on the curtains for the room in the hospital. That friendly afternoon, spent sewing around the fireplace and chatting over the tea-cups, will ever be a happy memory to the girls who were there. Much of the success of the club this year is due to Miss Moffat, its sponsor, who by her whole-heartedness, her helpful earnest ways, and her work with the club has helped to make it what it is and has , endeared herself to every member. Truly, it might well be said of her, "To know her is to love her."

This has been kept beforer the club as the chief business, and many interesting and instructive programs have been given. Probably the best of these was the debate on the Thirty-Ten plan. Another enjoyable program; was a symposium of original stories and poems, which brought out much real literary skill. Among the social events two stand out as most prominent. One was the Christmas party at the home of Olive Pearson. The other was the banquet at the Hotel Leopold.

Each department, in fact, each phase of the work, is worthy of a longer article than this. There are, however, two phases of the work of the school which have been developed this year and are unusually interesting. They are the allied organizations of the Junior High School and the standardized testing which is carried out so fully here. There is, or used to be, a rather wide spread impression that the Training School is a sort of reform school; that its standards, because of the supposed presence of sub-normal children, were somiewhat low; that inexperienced teaching and frequent change in teaching was detrimental to the progress of the pupils. This is not true. Every class in the Training School was given the same standardized tests as the corresponding classes in the city schools. The testing was carried out three times during the year. Each time the average rating was above the normal rating. The Training School pupils are a group of well-taught, normal children. Convinced that the pupils are getting the essentials and more in their school work, the Training School people have found time for considerable outside work in developing organizations. In the Junior High School there are five regular clubs, the Dramatic Club, the Boys' Club, the Camp Fire Girls, the Orchestra, and the Handicraft Club. Each club meets regularly on Friday afternoon. No duplication is permitted in membership. The Boys' Club was organized, as they express it in their consti-tution, "for the promotion of athletics and for practice in debate and parliamentary drill." Not only has this aim been accomplished, but a splendid spirit of good-fellowship and co-operation has been evolved. The club has been under the leadership of a Normal student and a splendid enthusiasm for the work is in evidence. The Handicraft Club is a girls' organization. During the meet-ings the girls sew and chat and read. The beauty and dignity of use-ful work is learned unconsciously in this club's activities. The Training School Orchestra is another club. The members have practiced hard and faithfully and their work has been rewarded by success. They play at the regular assemblies and at the programs given by the various clubs. The Camp Fire Girls' Club is an interesting organization. The name of the Training School Chapter is Chap-pah-wee. The symbol is the beaver. Their ideals and aims are expressed in the Law of the Fire. "Seek beauty. Give service. Pursue knowledge. Be trust-worthy. Hold on to health. Glorify work. Be happy." The girls have enjoyed numerous hikes, have taken part in ceremonials and have appeared in two public programs. They were active in organiz-ing an out-of-town chapter, and in making their club a success. I ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 165 ---------- The work of the Dramatic Club has been especially interesting, original and worth while. Besides studying several children's plays, they wrote and produced a play called the "Witches' Stew." This play was begun with only a name and developed into a charming drama in which every member of the club took part. The play was written by many committees, each committee handling a special situation and submitting its work for the approval of the club. The work of these clubs for the year culminated in a public pro-gram on April 21, 1922, at which they cleared $45.00. The following program was presented: Camp Fire Girls' Ceremonial Orchestra The Witches' Stew .....................W....r.i.t.t.e. ni by the Dramalic Club Orchestra The Old History Book .........................................

EGBERT With joy we hail this glad new day, the goal of vict'ry won, The sweet reward of days of toil, of plans and lessons done; But while this inner joy doth thrill like April winds that blow, Our hearts with deep emotion swell and eyes with tears o'erflows: For we must part from those we- love, must sever friendships dear, And leave the scenes of old Sehome with all it's grandeur near. We've bravely met each task assigned and learned the joy of toil, Increased our talents great and small to keep each gift from spoil; And while. old problems now are past with all their lessons dear, We turn with zest to meet the new without a thought of fear. With courage pure, undaunted, strong, we leave this sheltered place With hope to hear, "Well done" at last when we have won the race. And now, dear friends and schoolmates all, we make our last farewell ; The hour has come when we must part, when we our love must tell, For never more can all return unbroken as today, When once we've passed this treasured hour to make our onward way. So here's to you dear friends, our love and wishes fond and true, In hope and prayer for your success and for our White and Blue! K Refrain : Farewell to Happy Normal days on dear old Sehome hill, Long may they live in memory aye, our hearts to warm and thrill. t 166 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 167 ---------- 167 ';;. ; ~~~~.~. ;.;.. .. :...; f:~~ -1 .. ~;~: ; 1 .:~:::. ; .~.:~. :;2 . lr' ,-i;.

It was a dramatization of Louisa M. Alcott's ever-popular story "Litle Women." Under the able direction of Mr. Hoppe each member of the cast excelled himself. Every character of the story seemed to have come to life before the eyes of the delighted audience. From the moment the curtain arose and tomboy Jo grumbled from the hearth rug, until it fell on the picture of this self same Jo and her professor lover, every spectator was held spellbound. The play ran all the gamut from laughter to tears. Beginning with the March's Christmas Play the audience had no chance to lose interest. Amy's long words and Jo's boyish ways won their share of applause. Aunt March was the very irate, harsh old lady to be ex-pected. Meg and her John, not to mention the twins, were as domes-tic a family as could be wished. Laurie, with his pranks and his boyish affection, woed and won pretty Amy to everyone's delight. The death of gentle Beth brought the audience to tears. Hannah was as Irish as could be desired. Mr. Lawrence was a kindly old man. Mr. and Mrs. March, gentle and brave in their sorrow, were well portrayed. The benignant Professor, and his Schuler and his benev-olence courted Jo in absurd and delightful fashion. In short, it was just such a play as everyone longs to see, but seldom, does. The advertising manager, Mr. Blaney, and the business manager, Mr. Caulkins, deserve credit for the work that brought out the huge audience. Mr. Hoppe, and every member of the cast, received full appreciation of the work which made each part so life-like and de-lightful. Altogether there is only one regret to be expressed-and that is that the play is past. 169 I I1 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 170 ---------- enior play "THE PASSING OF THE THIRD FLOOR BACK."

The characters are sordid, selfish, and deceitful until the Stranger rents the third floor back. He believes in the good hidden in each petty grasping soul. By his faith the Better Self develops. The surly, cheating lodging house keeper, Mrs. Sharpe, proves to be a kindly lady. The overworked drudge, Stasia, shows a sweet, childish nature. Miss Kite, the simpering coquette of forty, develops into a charming friend. Mrs. Percival De Hooley, who is so proud of her famous relatives, turns to help her distressed sister. Joe Wright, book-maker and cheap spor, , gives up the woman he loves. Vivian Tomp-kins decides that money does not buy everything, so she marries the poor artist. Christopher Penny returns to his art and his ideals. Harry Larkim decides he cannot afford to give the best of his talent. Major and Mrs. Tompkins cease bickering and revive the affection that had been. Jabe Samuels realizes that he must not disgrace the Jewish race, so he throws aside his dishonest schemes. Having ac-complished all this, the Stranger leaves, for he has other work to do and may not tarry. Nis dog"Thre Th anK Soodness well go home now:'' 171 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 172 ---------- OLIVER INGERSOLL HELEN ALLMAIN (Alternate) MARGARET SPAIGHT PEARL STOUGHTON Negative eram The negative team faced the Cheney affirmative team at Belling-ham, on March 31. The team, under Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf, had produced a very plausible and logical argument. The position of the team rested on the promise contained in the Jones Bill, that independence should not be granted until the United States was cer-tain that the people of the Philippine Islands could maintain stable government. The debaters brot forth a mass of facts to prove that the United States was not certain; that the Filipinos were not able to conduct a stable government. Miss Stoughton, the first negative speaker, opened the negative side and laid the foundation for the ar-gument of her team. Miss Spaight brot a wealth of material to show Ihe lack of capabilities of the Filipino people. Oliver Ingersoll summed up the position of his colleagues and concluded the argument of the negative team. The team offered a lively and able defense of their position and an attack on the arguments of the opposing team. In spite of the eloquent efforts of the Bellingham debaters, the decision was three to nothing, in favor of the Cheney team. The school owes a great deal of credit to the coaches, Mr. Hoppe and Mr. Rahskopf, to the two teams and to to the alternates for the hard work expended on the debate. 172 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 173 ---------- MASON HATLL INGA BENTSON NORMA ROKES IRENE GOSS (Alternate) Affirmative U ram The question for debate was: "Resolved, that the people of the Philippine Islands should be independent by 1930." The Affirmative team, accompanied by Mr. Rahskopf, left Bellingham on March 30, for Ellensburg. There they met the Ellensburg negative team. The affirmative team based their argument upon the statistics of the Wood-Forbes Report and the government reports from the Islands. They offered proof of the improvements in the Philippines since the passage of the Jones Bill, which authorized the Filipinization of the government. Miss Rokes was the first speaker. She opened the argu-ment and ably prepared the way for her colleagues. The second speaker, Inga Benson, took up the improvements in the Islands under Filipinos. Mason Hall, the third speaker, concluded the argument and summarized the affirmative position. Mr. Hall likewise made a spirited attack on the Wood-Forbes Report and the definition of stable government it maintains. The debate at Ellensburg was a close and intense contest. The Ellensburg students displayed much school spirit and sportsmanship. When the decision was announced it was found that Bellingham had lost two to one. 173 1 ' ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 174 ---------- Normal AMe itations MARY B.

Between them patches of bluest skies, Where the gulls flash, with screeching cry. Mere spots of black, sailing up on high And above them, patches of bluest skies. Great waves bea:ing and breaking, Caressing the rocks, them forsaking; Each wave the other o'ertaking, Just great waves, beating and breaking. As great masses of hurrying clouds of grey Blow over the dark green, restless bay, And pause not, swerve not, in their way Those hurrying, restless clouds of grey. 174 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 175 ---------- 175 ----------- Klipsun, 1922 - Page 176 ---------- Art oteas "The highest aim of art is to make some useful thing beautiful. We must teach, not art for art's sake, but art for life's sake." This is the ideal toward which Miss Druse and her associates in the art department are working so earnestly and so successfully. They feel that art must comle down from the pinnacle where it has stood lonely for so long; that it should be, and is, the most demo-cratic mode of self-expression. Our "art people" have passed this ideal on to more than a thousand students during the busy year of 1921-22. The department has been crowded to capacity and even to overflowing; indeed, as much ingenuity has been used in finding elbow-space for "just one more" as is at the disposal of even art teachers. Such volumes of interesting, clever and beautiful things were produced this year that during the sprin exhibit, the department was a veritable fairyland of color and beauty. Thoughtful and striking posters spoke from the walls.. Cut paper flowers rioted over windows and doors. Charming landscapes and convincing sketches were every-where. Graceful bits of basketry peeped from every nook and corner. Truly, it was a wonderful exhibit, one that represented a whole year of hard work, care and thought. Not even with this did the activities of the art people cease. They published a beautifully illustrated art bulletin, containing many help-ful suggestions for teaching art in the grades. The things we have learned in Art are the kind that will carry over into our teaching. Thanks to Miss Druse, Miss Johnson and Miss Landis, we shall know just what to do with fidgety little Tessie Smith. They have taught us that Johnny Jones may be, not a bad boy, but an artist.

In our school life we have been imbued with a spirit of co-operation and labor for those things which we have come to recognize to be for our own best interest and welfare. Further, we have gained that social point of view which induces us to work for the common good of all. That is why we are interested in the welfare of our school. For that which we have been given-these few years of free education-we have come to recognize our relative responsibility; and that it is our duty to be boosters; to work in a constructive way for things that will soon put this school in the lead of the other Normal schools of our nation. Let us not forget this obli-g'ation. Because of this year's successes, we have rea-son to be proud of our Alma Mater. Our represen-tatives in athletics, debate, and other student enter-prises, have, by their marked ability and achieve-ment, and through victory after victory, given to our Normal School a distinction and standing in our commonwealth of which we may be justly proud. In very deed and truth, this has been a glor-ious year. It is my hope that in after years this Klipsun will be a reminder of those (lays that were so dear to us, and that those who come after us may find in it something worthy of emulation. -Eggert A. Burns. Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 12 ---------- IN APPRECIATION With the completion of work on the 1923 Klip-sun, there comes a realization of the splendid co-operation and services of those who contributed to its success. We sincerely appreciate the encouraging attitude of Mrs. Vaughan, literary critic, who in times of difficulty has been ever willing to help; and the splendid contributions of Robert Caulkins in the way of many of the finer ideas incorporated into the Klipsun. It was with sincere regret that I learned of his inability to continue his work as associate editor, due to failing health. The breach left by M'r. Caulkins was, however, satisfactorily filled when the services of Miss Anna Lind were secured. Her very efficient, though unassuming manner has made working with her a distinct pleasure. Among others of the Normal to whom we are especially indebted, we wish to mention Miss Marie Druse, art critic; Miss Catherine Smith, art editor; Miss Marjory Downes, literary editor; Miss Floris Clarke, debate editor and editor of the Alaska sec-tion; as well as the many contributors to the lit-erary section and art work. W e are also greatly indebted to the Art Engrav-ing Company, the Jukes Studio, and the Irish Print-ing Company for the efficient services rendered at all times during our work with them. In all truth, it may be said that any merits which this Klipsun may contain are dcue to the con-certed effort of the Sophomore class and associated student body. -THE EDIrOR Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 13 ---------- TABLE OF CONTENTS The Normal School Page Normal School and Northwest Scenes ............................................... 4 Officers of Administration .................... ....... ...

Twenty 1 ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 21 ---------- HISTORY OF BELLINGHAM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Our present Normal School, considered the sixth largest in the United States, had its beginning as a private school in the little city of Lynden. That institution, however, was refused state aid; hence a movement was started for the establishment of a state normal school in this locality. A law was passed creating a commission to select a site in Whatcom County, and the present location, occupying sixty-eight acres of land on the slope of Sehome Hill, was chosen. This tract of land was at that time midway between the two cities, Fairhaven and Whatcom, now united and known as the city of Bellingham. The Bellingham Bay Improvement Company, the Fairhaven Land Company, and the heirs of the Lysle estate donated the land. The governor vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. In 1895, however, the legislature appropriated $40,000 for the erection of the original building. On the first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins, of Fairhaven; Hon. R. C. Higginson, and Hon. J. J. Edens, of Whatcom. A third appropriation in 1897 was also vetoed, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,000 for equipment and maintenance of school. The campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes, and many other necessary items furnished. The first faculty of six members began their work on September 6, 1899, with Dr. Edward T. Mathes as principal. There was an enrollment of 16o students on the first (lay of school, but at the end of the first month, the number had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more faculty members, among them being Miss Catherine Montgomery, who is still doing excellent work for the school. Eight young ladies graduated the first year, and sixteen received elementary certificates. The spirit of the school in those early days, exemplified by their school yell, "Za! Za!! Zeer! ! ! We're right here! 19oo Pioneer !" has been rekindled with every succeeding year. The Normal School has rapidly grown from its struggling beginning into a school that ranks very high among the educational institutions of this state. We now have a president, a faculty corps of fifty members, and an enrollment of over a thousand students, representing every state in the Union, as well as other countries. In addition to the original structure, eight other buildings have been erected-the training school building in 90oI, the gymnasium in Ig9o, old Edens Hall in 1905, which accommodated sixty-three students, the science annex in 1907, the manual training shop, and a large annex to the training school in 1913, a central heating plant in 1917, the Emergency Hospital in 1921, and the new Edens Hall in 1922, accommodating 116 students. The Twenty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 22 ---------- library now has 27,000 books in the main library, 3,000 in the juvenile library, and over 300 magazines and newsp apers in the periodical room. The school each year provides a lecture course free to the students, which gives them an opportunity to hear the leading artists of the world. Third and fourth year courses are now offered to the students, and they are looking forward to the time when they may receive a degree. The growth of the school can best be realized from the fact that the enrollment has increased to such an extent that certain departments of the school are entirely inadequate. The library and gymnasiums, built to accom-modate the students of two decades ago, are examples of this. The first issue of the "Messenger," the schocl paper, appeared in De-cember, 1899, being a paper five by ten inches, printed once a month. It is now known as the "Weekly Messenger," is eleven by fourteen inches, con-taining ten pages of school news. A recent addition of importance to the school's development was the purchase in 1922 of the eighty-acre tract, Normalstad, the school's recreational park, on Lake Whatcom. The dock has just been completed, land is the largest on the lake. Plans are being made for a boathouse, with quarters for a row-ing crew. The twenty different clubs of the school are busy at p r esent locat-ing the sites for their future lodges. FIRST BUILDING B. S. N.

As we approach these tendencies from many sides, we find that they are often coincident. The Art department has felt the strong current setting in toward what is practical and of value in industry. We are forced to consider the question of art for life's sake. This means, first of all the taking of art out of the hands of a few exceptional people and putting it into the hands of everyone who wants it and needs it. There is scarcely an hour of the day when the question of art does not come up in some form or other. It is this universal application of art principles that makes us lay such stress on art teaching. It has forced us to revolutionize our art courses both as to their content and their method. Another reason why the Art department lays such stress on art teaching is the constantly increasing demands of the best schools for teachers E who can teach practical art. An annual exhibit offers a splendid opportunity for one to stop and sum-marize the year's achievements. More than that, it furnishes a standard of comparison and an index of progress that is of inestimable value to those interested in general, and to the department in particular. The annual exhibit of art and handicraft which was held May 17-18, under the direction of Miss Druse, Miss Landis, Miss Johnston and Miss Breakey summarized the work of the department in a remarkable way. The aim of the department is four-fold: I. the development of technical skill; 2. correlation between subjets; 3. use of industrial material and processes; 4. appreciation. It was most interesting to follow the systematic working out of these aims as shown in the results exhibited on walls and tables in the department rooms and corridors. Correlation has become the keyword in modern education and no subject offers more opportunity for correlation than does Art. Work was especially correlated wth civics, literature, history, geography and other sub-jects. The use of industrial materials and processes have been strikingly il-lustrated. The development of appreciation is a harder thing to measure because, after all, appreciation is a thing of the spirit and so cannot come under any yard stick rule yet one could get some satisfactory evidences of the existence of appreciation in the comments of students as they went about from section to section. In summing up the exhibit as a whole we would call your attetnion once more to its aims and the aims of the department back of it. The reason for the existence of an Art department is first of all to train in appreciation of what is right-second, to teach how to apply this knowledge and give others the same appreciation, and finally, to make of this knowledge some practical use in industry in the home life and in the personal equipment of the indi-vidual. Thirty-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 33 ---------- BUSINESS EDUCATION With J. F. Caskey as head of the department, 'ably assisted by Mrs. May G. Lovegren, the Department of Business Education has functioned in the school, the community and the state in a way to cause the business men and school boards to seek those who have received instruction in this department. The greatest contributing factor in the success of the students of this department lies in the fact that the instructors, believe in taking the student with whatever of natural power, initiative and ability he may possess, and by developing these to the highest point of efficiency attainable in the time given for the work, and then, this accomplished, send him forth with spirit unafraid, to do and dare in his chosen line of work. As teachers, the instructors of this department encourage and help their students in ways that bring out the best that is in them. Students of the Department of Business Education have felt and do feel that the scople of the work should be broadened so as to include those subjects that naturally fall within its line of work. Commercial Geography, Business Arithmetic, History of Commerce, and Penmanship suited to the needs of the commercial teacher, surely come within the province of this department. Mr. Caskey has endeared himself to each and every student through his never failing help, advice, comfort, and sympathy that is available to all who go to him with their troubles. A former student, writing to Mr. Caskey, said this of Mrs. Lovegren: "She is all gold." What higher tribute need any woman ask? Mrs. L'ovegren's cheery words and smile, together with her fund 'of knowledge, helps many 'a student along his weary way. EDUCATION Dr. Irving E. Miller, the well-known author of the "Psychology of Thinking," and "Education for the Needs of Life," is at the head of this department. Associated with him are L. A. Kibbe, Miss Delia Keeler, and Arthur Kolstad, all able and efficient instructors. In addition to the work of these regular instructors, Miss Margaret Roberts teaches one class a quarter in Observation, and Miss C'atherine Montgomery one class in Primary Methods. Both of these teachers are highly trained for their special lines of work. Mrs. Clara K. Jones serves as a reader on half time, and Miss Minnie Swanson gives fourteen hours to clerical work. The Department of Education covers the following fields: Psychology, Child Study, Observation and Methods, Rural Education, School Law and School Mianagement, Principles and History of Education, Educational Measurements, Intelligence Tests, and School Administration. In these var-ious lines, about thirty different courses a year are given, distributed through four years of the college course. During the four Quarters something like four thousand students 'are enrolled in all the classes of the Department. Thirty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 34 ---------- The ideals of the Department call for highly trained teachers, speciali-zation of instruction, and a sharp focusing of all the work upon the problems of teacher training. The Department expects to have additional teachers next year. It will then be possible to emphasize still more the advanced courses for third and fourth year students. -0- ENGLISH No subject in the curriculum contributes so much to culture and to breadth of vision as does English literature. Many students, realizing that this is true, have chosen to specialize in this subject, and as many as 714 students have taken elective courses in English this year. The field from. which to choose is large, covering, as it does, 25 courses in li'terature and composition. The growing demand for such work has necessitated the em-ployment of two new teachers. fMiss Sperry, the head of the department, needs no recommendation as all those who have 'een in her classes know what an inspiration she is. Mrs. Vaughan, 'too, is ever the students' friend, and her untiring zeal in work for the Messenger has been much appreciated. Mrs. Hussey, a graduate of the University of Washington, came to us from Washington, D. C., last fall. She is specializing in the teaching of composition and is a popular member of the faculty. Miss Dillon taught only till Christmas when unfortunately she was obliged to resign on account of illness. She was succeeded by Miss Madden, a graduate of the University of Iowa, and for four years head of the department of Public Speaking at Penn College, Iowa. Next fall we shall welcome the return of Miss Edens, now on leave of absence. Miss Edens studied at the University of London last summer and has been at Columbia University this year. With this addition to the staff Miss Sperry is anticipating further de-velopment in her department next year, and will offer special courses to third and fourth year students. ORAL EXPRESSION Oral Expression, which is included with the English, is named by Victor H. Hoppe and Horace G. Rahskopf, who are excellently fitted by previous training for this special work. Twelve different courses are offered in oral expression ranging from practical speaking to community dramatics. The department constitutes a vital part of the school, not only from the professional and the academic standpoints, but also as a basis for such vital student activities as school dramatics and debate, both of which have flourished during the present year and which have before them a future of great promise. The Bellingham State Normal is of greater assistance in an educational way to teachers in service and to the public in general, by having an Exten-sion department organized for extension service. Thirty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 35 ---------- EXTENSION The Extension department, with E. J. Klemme as director, serves the state at large in various ways. Through extension service, classes are or-ganized at different points and conducted by Normal instructors. These may be credit or non-credit courses. The correspondence courses, offered by the several departments, make it possible for teachers who are unable to be in residence to do work that will count toward graduation, after thirty-six weeks of residence as required by law. At the request of a superintendent or prin-cipal, an instructor is sent to a school to give educational tests in spelling, reading, arithmetic, writing, and any other subject taught. They point out the best method of adopting the material of instruction to the needs of the individual. A number of small towns and communities within easy reach of the Normal School, profit by the talent centered in this institution. Readings, compiled by Mr. Hoppe, of a very high standard are in constant demand. Upon request, the Extension department also furnishes judges for debates, and speakers for P. T. A., Women's Clubs, and other civic organizations. Mr. Klemme has served the school in the capacity of director of the Extension department for several years and has given excellent service. He is in constant demand throughout the state, both as an adviser for higher edu-cation, and as a speaker. Mrs. Pearl Lansing is the secretary of the department and has served the Normal School four years. The department is entirely in her charge during Mr. Klemme's absence in the field. Mrs. Lansing has full charge of the correspondence work and is able to advise students regar(ling courses that would apply on their major. There are twenty-one instructors offering work in correspondence and 150 students .entrolled at the present time. These enrollments represent the four states, Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and the territory of Alaska. The department has enrollement from 23 counties out of the 39 in this state. FOREIGN LANGUAGE The foreign language department is headed by Miss Helen Beardsley, who received her training at the University of Colorado, with graduate study at the Sorbonne and at the University of Leipzig. Owing to ill health, Miss Beardsley has been on leave of absence this year, but is scheduled to teach dur-ing the summer session. The department is, however, fortunate in having as instructors Miss Anne Ullin and Mrs James Gaul. Both have come to the institution this year, and are particularly well fitted for work in this special line. They have worked earnestly for the interests of the school at large, as well as of this de- partment. Thirty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 36 ---------- French and Spanish are the foreign languages offered in this year's cur-riculum. Elementary courses in these subjects are given each quarter, and the opportunity is then given the students to take advanced work, including studies of literature and composition. Each year the enrollment in both the elementary and advanced courses is large. For the future, the instructors of this department plan to have their work so organized that they will be able to have their classes produce French and Spanish plays, along with their advanced work. HISTORY AND SOCIAL SCIENCE This department is under the direction of James Bever, who has been connected with the institution since 1909. Associated wilth Mr. Bever in this department is Miss Nora B. Cummings, with this institution since 1915, and T. F. Hunt, also since 1915. All members of the 'tealching staff have done research work along their special lines in some of the best universities of the country, and consequently are especially fitted to teach the courses offered. The department covers in the history courses, all phases of European and American history, including the world war period. Courses in history meth-ods are offered each quarter covering some phase of presenting the subject. In social science, courses are offered in the principles of sociology, rural sociology, social problems, economics, 'community civics, comparative govern-ment, commercial and political geography. The plan of instruction followed by the department is that all subjects should be taught in relation to their bearing upon the present time and problems, thereby giving 'the student a better back ground for his work as a teacher. The department expects to, have additional instructors in the near future, thereby enabling them to further emphasize the advanced courses for third and fourth year students. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics Department, although located in the basement of the Science annex, does not hold an inferior place in the life of the school. Miss Gertrude Longley is head of the department, and associated with her is Miss Linda Countryman. Thirteen courses are offered, none of which are requirements for everyone, but eight are required for those forty or fifty girls who are specializing in Home Economics teaching. However, we had an average of 149 students each quarter this past year, with 273 last summer, while many more wished for time for one of these electives. The main object of our work is to train future teachers, and because of this much time is given to method, as well as subject matter. H. E. I Fundamental Foods Cookery, and H. E. 9 Elementary Clothing lay particular emphasis on Home Economics work in the grades, and so are of value, not only to girls specializing in Home Economics, but to any girl preparing to teach children. The other courses * offered, especially IAdvanced Cookery Table Service, and Dressmaking are valuable for a girl's own use, whether she plans to teach or not. Thirty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 37 ---------- Practice teaching is done by girls majoring in the department, in the training school, in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Here practice under supervision gives added incentive to study. The department has charge of the Normal cafeteria, which has served attractive, reasonable lunches to from 150 to 200 people a day. A well-trained cook is in charge, but much of the work is done by students desirous of earn-ing part of their way. Equipment for teas, club parties, and schcol mixers is kept in our custody and given out on a requisition from the registrar. Our aim is service to the school in every way possible. "Work thou for pleasure; paint or sing or carve The things thou lovest, though the body starve. Who works for glory misses oft the goal; Who works for money coins his very soul; Work for the Twork's sake then and it may be That these things shall be added unto thee." -Kenyon Cox. INDUSTRIAL ARTS M. W. Heckman, who has had many years of training and teaching ex-perience along the industrial lines, is head of this department. Associated with him is John Rindal, a practical cabinet maker, who has been an instructor in the department for a number of years. The Department of Industrial Arts covers the following subjects: Ele-mentary Woodwork, Advanced, Woodwork and Cabinet Making, Wood Turning, Wood Finishing, Organization and Administration of Industrial Education, Advanced Mechanical Drawing, Architectural Drawing, Freehand Perspective, and Practice Teaching in the Training School. The emphasis of the work of this department is laid upon the develop-ment of a high degree of technical skill in both woodwork and drawing which is an essential factor in teacher-training in 'the Industrial Arts. An intensive study is also made of courses and equipments to be used in grade and high schools for the best advancement of industrial work in these schools. Thirty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 38 ---------- THE LIBRARY The library of the Bellingham Normal school is a very young one, as it has been in existence but little more than a score of years, and yet it has attained much of that prestige which is given to a rare collection of profes-sional material. It is already rated as one of the very best in the North- west. During all of its existence the ideal has been to make this library wholly adequate to meet the needs, aims, and interests of a great teacher-training institution. However, believing that teachers must have other knowledge and interests which are equal to their professional ones, the library has devoted a very large part of its twenty-eight thousand volumes and five thousand pamph-lets to history, literature, art, science, sociology and other subjects. The material on history, literature, and art is particularly broad and adequate. In the periodical room are to be found one hundred fifty different magazines for which the library is a regular subscriber. These cover many subjects and keep the students in close touch with contemporary thought and action. The juvenile library is in reality a huge "project" as it exists primarily as a laboratory for student teachers and consists of some three thousand volumes of extremely well chosen literature for boys and girls. It has a large pat-ronage from the training school pupils, who keep the student librarian busy. After the collection of books a librarian's aim is to get the material to the reading public. Therefore the whole administration has been based on getting the student to read. Throughout its history the library has been run entirely on the honor system and its success is quite unique. There is also no limit to the number of books a students may take out at any one time. Library instruction has been given during most of the history of the school. The real success of the Library, says Miss Wilson, has been made pos-sible by the long procession of students, who thru a score of years, have done their part in sensing and appreciating the ideals of the Library. They have read far above the average of student bodies and have shown an exceptional appreciation of the care of books. Miss Wilson maintains that in all points the students have met with enthusiasm the library's efforts to serve them. Thirty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 39 ---------- MATH EMATICS-PEN MANSH I P Mr. A. E. Bond, a man of recognized standing among mathematicians, is head of this department. The chief feature of the department of Mathe-matics is its teacher-training course for teachers in the elementary schools and junior high schools. In addition to the above, teacher-training course. there is given each year a quarter's work in each of the following: College Mathematical subjects: Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, College Algebra and Differential Calculus. The standard university text books are used as the basis of all work in these subjects. In addition to the foregoing work in Mathematics, Miss Georgia Gragg, teacher of Palmer Penmanship, and Mr. W. J. Rice, teacher of his own system, are doing very efficient work in the training of teachers for this work in Elementary and Rural schools. The aim of the department is to do as efficient work in the things undertaken as can be done anywhere. We are expecting more help in the department next year and feel sure that the work will be even better than it has been. MUSIC Jessie Ames Belton came to the Normal this year as the new head of the Music Department. Miss Belton is well known in the public school music work of our state as well as in that of other states. For the past two, years she has served in an advisory capacity to the National Association of Music Supervisors and is now completing her third year as the Secretary-Treasurer of the Washington State Music Teachers' Association. The Department offers courses in the methods of public school music, and as prerequisites to these subjects, sight singing and fundamentals of music are given, the latter courses being ably handled by Mrs. Emma Whipple and Miss Dlgmar Christy. Students have also been able to take elective courses in History of Music, Harmony, Conducting, and Appreciation. Miss Ethel Gardner cares for all students of piano, as do Mr. Harrison Raymond for students of voice, and Mr. John Roy Williams for students of violin. Each one of these instructors is well known, and is prominent in musical circles of the Northwest. Beside the music that is taught in all grades in the Training School, the Girls' Glee Club of the Training School has been organized and is well under way. Both Normal and Training School orchestras, under the capable leader-ship of Mr. John Roy Williams, have proved successful and are great fav-orites at the assemblies. Among the musical activities are the Normal Chorus, consisting of all men and women of the school who wish to join; the Clef Club, which has for its membership twenty-four selected women's voices; the Men's Glee Club, also of selected membership; a Normal Quartette composed of women's voices, and a Male Quartet. Thirty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 40 ---------- SCIENCE-PHYSICAL EDUATION These two departments, usually considered quite separate, are, strictly speaking, one, with H. C. Philippi as head of the department. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Mr. Philippi has had charge of the Science department for several years, in which capacity he has given excellent service. He teaches the physical sciences and hygiene. Associated with him are Bertha F. Hughes, school physician and instructor in hygiene; May Mead, school nurse; and F. W. Brockman, instructor in biology, agriculture, and nature study. The Science Department has four well-equipped laboratories affording excellent facilities for the teaching of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiol-ogy, Hygiene, Nature Study, and Agriculture. It also has a three and one-half inch astronomical telescope, which is used in the courses in Introduction to Science and Nature Study. A new radio receiving set, having a radius of hundreds of miles for broadcasted concerts, speeches, etc., has been ordered for use in the department. The department aims to give direct preparation for the teaching of Hygiene, Agriculture, Nature Study, and Elementary General Science in the elementary schools and junior high schools of the state and to give indirect preparation for the better teaching of other subjects by supplying the proper scientific background. College courses are being developed as rapidly as the demands justify and the size of the teaching staff permit. All students are given health examinations upon entrance and are given the advantage of the services of the school physician and the school nurse. THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT In the Department of Physical Education, S. E. Carver has charge of physical education for men, and Miss May G. Long of physical education for women. Both instructors have had wide experience in physical education and have done excellent work at the Normal for several years. Miss Regina Frank, as an assistant of Miss Long, has special charge of the aesthetic and folk dancing classes. The Physical Education Department offers courses in gymnastic train-ing, school room methods, aesthetic and folk dancing, athletic coaching, and practice teaching. The work of the department is designed to give students an understand-ing of the purpose, means, and method of physical education in the school-room and in athletic coaching, as well as to give students physical training through class gymnastics and athletics. Closely connected with the physical education department, we have the boys' "WV" club, an athletic organization of the school, and the Women's Ath- letic Association, a national organization. Forty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 41 ---------- TRAINING SCHOOL Much has been said as to the real purpose of the Training School. Some think it merely a place for training student teachers. It is this, but it is also a place for training citizens. The individuals to be trained for citizenship, for their future work, for life itself with all its wealth of possibilities, are both the grade students and the Normal students. The welfare of every student, younger or older, who enters the Training School, is always the chief concern of the superintendent and supervisors. The principle that a real teacher is also always a learner, helping others and being helped, is well worked out here. The work done in the fTraining School has always been equal to that done by the city schools, as the records show. Student teachers here have the opportunity to work out and develop, under the helpful criticism of more ex-perienced teachers who are always studying their needs, those theories they have learned and the Education courses of the Normal School. They have the opportunity to learn whether they are suited to the profession and how to improve their practice. The theory of teaching by projects is one of those tried out in practice by student teachers when they are in the training school.. A "whole- hearted puposeful activity" that engaged the entire training school, pupils, student teachers, and supervisors was the "Harvest Festival," given in November for the parents of the children in the school. The Dramatic Club of the Junior High School, with Miss Wallace's help, worked out the play, in which each department had a part in song, dance, or dialogue. The Art department co-operated in working out color schemes, stage settings, and scenery; the Home Economics teachers helped the children plan and make their costumes; the Industrial Arts department assisted, Miss Long and Miss Frank taught the children the dances, Miss Belton had charge of the songs, and Mr. Will-iams directed the children's orchestra in the program of music that preceded the play. Each person connected with the Training School in any way helped work out some phase of the whole. Children and student teachers learned anew lessons of co-operation, planning in detail, perfecting prepara-tion for a creditable presentation, and of fitting parts together to make a unified whole. The children are more responsible and the student teach- ers are more competent leaders for their experiences in assisting to bring the play to successful presentation. The synopsis and cast follow : The Seasons are in dispute as to which shall rule the coming year. Time is to decide, and he calls upon the Years to help him. Each Season presents his claim to the throne, except Autumn, who is too busy with her harvest to think of ruling. Because of her rich gifts, given in the spirit of service, she is chosen queen. All rejoice in her honor. An attractive program of music accompanied the play. Three of the numbers, "Flag of Truce," "Dancing Dolls," and "United Liberty" were given by the Training School Orchestra. Katherine Bettman played a piano solo, Lange's "Meditation." Forty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 42 ---------- AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ALUMNI How may the Alumni Association of the Bellingham Normal School be of more service to the institution and to its graduates? Twenty-three years ago, eight young people went forth from the then new teacher-training institution on Sehome Hill, to represent the institution as teachers in the public schools of the state. They told the young people in their communities of the wonderful location of the new institution, with its marvelous view of the mountains and the sea, its matchless sunsets, of the fine type of students, of the fine opportunities for training and development, and, most of all, they imbued those with whom they associated with the spirit of service, co-operation, and loyalty for which the institution has ever been famous, and which was destined to make it one of the very greatest and most useful teacher-training institutions in the United States. Yes, and that same spirit which predominated the institution twenty-three years ago, still per-meates every room and corridor of the now large and famous Normal over-looking Bellingham Bay. It is that spirit which has made the institution great, and it is that spirit which crowds the buildings to the very limit of their ca-pacity, whenever a new quarter opens. It is that same spirit which has been carried to almost .every school in the Northwest, from the smallest and humblest log schoolhouse of Washington, Alaska, Oregon, and other states. to the finest and most modern school buildings of the largest cities of the country. Instead of eight per year, graduates are now going forth from the Normal-by-the-Sea by the hundreds. Already the school has sent forth about four thousand graduates from the- two, three, and four year courses. Nearly four hundred young people go forth each year imbued with the same spirit and with the same ideals of service that characterized the first class. One of the November graduates recently wrote that she had persuaded six members of the high school graduating class in the little town in which she is teachine, to attend the Bellingham Normal next quarter, in spite of the fact that four other Normal schools are nearer their homes. But what is being done to keep alive the ties that bind us to our Alma Mater? An Alumni Alssociation was formed many years ago, and this or-ganization holds an annual reunion and banquet at Bellingham each year, which is attended by two hundred or more graduates from the institution, nearly half of whom are members of the graduating class for the current year. An alumni gathering is also usually held at the annual meeting of the W. E. A. Forty-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 43 ---------- But is this enough? Should the Alumni Association reach only five per cent of its members? What more can the organization do to keep our alumni in touch with their Alma Mater and with old friends and classmates? First, an effort should be made by the alumni to keep a constantly re-vised list of the names and addresses of all alumni. The association should co-operate with the President's office in securing constantly revised data along this line. Without this co-operation, communication with graduates of former years is decidedly uncertain and unsatisfactory. We should have a real home- coming at the end of each school year, one that would last for two or three days, perhaps, and would be attended by from five hundred to a thousand of our members. We should have a celebration that would make it worth while for our graduates to come for hundreds of miles. This is impossible at the present time, because the Normal School closes its spring term two weeks before most of the common schools of the state close. It is hoped that a readjustment may be made in the near future that will obviate this difficulty. One of the things that keeps many people away from our alumni gatherings is the fact that when they do attend, they find so few of their old friends. By concerted effort, this can be overcome, and each class can be represented by many of its members. At present there is no method of communication with the alumni, except as the annual letter announcing the banquet and reunion is sent out, through the courtesy of the President's office, and at the expense of the Normal School. An alumni bulletin, published twice a year, would be a great help. Perhaps two issues of the Exchange, now published by the Extension Department, could be secured for this 'purpose. One number could be published at mid-year, and could be devoted largely to the outstanding activities, improvements made and contemplated, the needs of the school, changes in faculty for the current year, and all important alumni news. The President of the institu-tion would undoubtedly be glad to co-operate in securing data for such a bulletin. Another similar bulletin could be published in April, and could contain the announcement of Commencement week, the alumni banquet, etc., and could replace the annual letter, which the president of the Alumni Associa-tion now sends out each spring, prior to the annual reunion and banquet. These bulletins would be a great help to the Normal and to the alumni. If the alumni were kept posted as to the needs and progress of the institution, the members could assist greatly in presenting these needs to the people and to the legislatures, from time to time. If every alumnus of the Bellingham Normal School had realized the great need of a new library and a new gym-nasium, also of authority to grant degrees from the four-year course, and the pressing need of funds with 'which to employ additional instructors, and pre-vent the serious congestion due to overcrowded classes, the four thousand alumni of our own school could have done something to prevent the absolute neglect of the institution at the hands of the recent legislature. There are many strong friends of the institution in each session of the legislature, but these legislators need the co-operation and support of every alumnus and former student. Forty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 44 ---------- The Allison cup, which was given by Guy S. Allison, of the class of 1907, has done much to stimulate interest in debate at the Normal, and it has done much to show the interest of the alumni of the earlier days in the activities and progress of the school at the present time. Wouldn't it be worth while for the alumni to offer a prize of fifty dollars, or more, in oratory or declama-tion, to be given to the winner in a contest in the school each year? This would be an additional incentive to intensive work along this line, on the part of the students each year. In this way the alumni would feel a real interest in the present activities of the school. One of the things most needed, is some-thing that will keep alive in the minds of the alumni the present activities of the institution. Each alumnus should feel that he is still a part of the institution and that its successes are his successes. We, as alumni, have every reason to feel proud of the institution which we learned to love, and which we call our Alma Mater. It has continued to grow in usefulness and in the esteem of the people of the Northwest, until it is not only the largest and best known Normal school in the Northwest, but it is one of the very largest and best known teacher-training institutions in the United States. The Bellingham Normal needs the interest and support of every alumnus, and we, as alumni, will enjoy keeping alive the school spirit, enthusiastic sup-port, and co- operative interest of former clays. L. A. Kibbe, President. Forty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 45 ---------- HELEN GOKE ARTHUR KOLSTAD HELEN HIGHTOWER MISS DELIA KEELER ALBERTINA PEARSON OLIVER INGERSOLL ARCHIE THOMAS LELAND RANKIN BOARD OF CONTROL Unexpected and rapid have been. the changes in the personnel of the Board of Control the past year. Archie Thomas, Helen Goke, Albertina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Oliver Ingersoll were elected last spring for president, vice-president, and student representatives, respectively. Arthur Kolstad and M. W. Heckman were elected for faculty representatives; Archie Thomas, Helen Goke, and Helen Hightower were not present during the summer and their places were occupied by Oliver Ingersoll as president, and Pearl Bailey, Robert Tunstall, 'and Gertrude Sennes as student representatives. At the end of the summer term, Mr. Heckman resigned and Miss Keeler was elected faculty representative. Because of his numerous activities, Mr. Thom-as, after a few weeks as president during the fall term, resigned, and Oliver Ingersoll was elected [president by an overwhelming majority. Leland Rankin was selected to fill the vacancy left on the Board. About the middle of the Forty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 46 ---------- winter term, Oliver Ingersoll resigned to become business manager of the Klipsun, and Vice-President Helen Goke took his place. At the beginning of the spring term, Rebecca Arnell was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Miss Pearson, who left school. A school picnic, a school trip. to Victoria, quarterly school mixers, a Christmas tree program, basketball banquets, a debate team entertainment, and the Chuckanut Marathon are a few of the various events arranged for during the year by the Board of Control. The Board has made regular payments on Normalstad, at Lake Whatcom, and has started a scheme of improvement. A dock has already been built, and preparations are beginning to, be made for the building of school lodges, the clearing of an athletic field, and many other improvements. One must mention the spirit of good fellowship, which existed in the "family group" as it assembled around the table in the Students' Association room. There were differences at times, but they were soon forgotten. This spirit showed itself most clearly in the quarterly Board dinners, a custom inaugurated by last year's members, and carried over in the second annual Two-Board dinner, when the retiring members entertained the Board-elect. Where 'tviy o vere4 r? Forty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 47 ---------- I I6 EDITH HEATON, Assistant MR. C. C. BAUGHMAN, Manager RUTH LUND, Assistlant STUDENTS' CO-OP. Service and the Students' Co-op. have become synonymous terms. Start-ing back in 19o8 in a very modest way, the Students' Co-op. has enjoyed a steady growth until it is now considered to be the equal of any college sore, regardless of the size of the student body, in its service to its patrons, and, in its reasonable prices. Mr. Baughman, the manager, has been with the Co-op. almost from its beginning and it has been through his earnest and untiring efforts that the store has reached its present high standard. He has further increased the service of the Co-op. this year by establishing a postoffice sub- station. Students and teachers are beginning to realize more and more generally that Mr. Baughman and his assistants, Miss Heaton, Miss Lund, and Mr. Mercer are ever on the alert to give efficient service, reasonable prices and courteous treatment. Forty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 48 ---------- CLASS ADVISORS The Sophomore class has been safely piloted through the difficulties of the past year by two capable, far-seeing, and sincere advisers, Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller. With the best interests of the class always at heart, they have bridged many difficulties with their helpful suggestions and advice. At all times the two advisers have kept foremost in their minds the necessity of giving students the chance to develop leadership; both have emphasized and observed this important phase of class organization. Mr. Bever is one of the hardest working members of the faculty and yet, strange to say, one of the kindest and most patient. Who has not been grateful at one time or another for the relieved feeling that a talk with Mr. Bever has given when everything seemed to point to a delayed graduation. Through the rushed programming, tedious checking and the many details attending graduation, Mr. Bever has remained the patient and optimistic adviser upon whom we could safely depend. Dr. Miller, in his unobtrusive, quiet manner, has also been willing to give his valuable time to anything connected with the Sophomore class. With the same spirit that he has built up the Education Department, he has entered into our class problems. New ideas gathered in his travels over the state, his educational research work, his hopes for improvement along educational lines-all have helped to broaden and prepare the students now ready to go out into the field of educational service. 'Tis true that we have not pierhaps fully realized, during the year, how much Mr. Bever and Dr. Miller have helped us. With graduation and depar-ture, however, comes a fuller realization of what their assistance has meant. We leave with a determination to prove worthy of their trust and to fulfill their hopes for our future success as teachers.

Father Time, the old gentleman who walks around with -a dull scythe over his shoulder, had applied his bare foot to the accelerator, and had sped the world along a few centuries But, lo! the accumulation of years was not the only change which had taken place! Mt. Baker, our far-famed peak to the east, had become so dis-satisfied with looking at the Bellingham State Normal School without a special Library building, that in its wrath it burst out in flame, spreading lava and ash over the surrounding countryside, covering it to a great depth. And thus our beautiful city of Bellingham was laid to lestruction. But the leaves have taken their floating journey to Mother Earth from the tree tops, and Spring has come and gone again many times, as the poet says. Let us turn again to the site of our fair hamlet. Congress has at last apprbpriated funds for removing the city's ashen bed-clothes, and men are at work restoring the Normal School. What is all this excitement? Workmen come rushing forth with a bat-tered and dented box, recovered from the ruins. A great crowd gathers around them, waiting for the appearance of the Superintendent to open the box and divulge its secrets. At last he comes, and orders the box to be broken open. Crash! Crash! The box, not being able to withstand the blows laid upon it, falls apart, and there, among its ruins, the crowd beholds a bound volume! Forty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 50 ---------- The Superintendent of Excavation picked up the book, and brushing the (lust from the cover, he read aloud, "History of the Sophomore Class of 1923, of the Bellingham State Nor-mal School." Excitedly he fingered the document, and exclaimed, "This is indeed the most worthy relic we have as yet discovered." The crowd surged forward in its eagerness to view the wonderful book, and was kept hack with great difficulty. "Read it! Read it! What does it say?" shouted the crowd. The Superintendent quickly opened the hook to the first page and read aloud,- "October 17 was the (late of the first class meeting, in which the following capable and efficient officers were elected: EGGERT BURNS ..............................................

Sccretary HERBERT CEDERBERG .................................. ------------ . TreasurerC DOROTHY SCHAFER ........................................... Reporter "On Friday evening, November 3, 1922, the Sophomore Class of the Bellingham State Normal School held its Pumpkin Party at Edens Hall. The party was a great success and will long be remembered by all those who at-tended." "Ah, those were the happy days," sighed one of the listeners. "Tha't class surely must have had lots of pep." Again the reader raised his voice so that all might hear "At a class meeting held Tuesday, October 31, students were nominated 'to serve on the Klipsun Staff." "All was not pleasure with that class. They had business to be (lone, , 4 too." "Read more. Let us hear what else they (lid," shouted the multitude, and the Superintendent did as they desired.-- "A special meeting of the Sophomore class was held on Monday, No-vember 6, in which a great deal of business was very satisfactorily accomp-lished. The following students were elected to serve on the Klipsun Board : Sam Ford, Helen Goke, Lou Fowler, Violet Mitcham, and Helen Hightower." The reading was interrupted by a little fat boy who excitedly shouted, "Samuel Ford was an ancestor of mine. We've got his pitcher home in the album." "Hush !" "Be quiet!" "We must hear !" "On November 16, the Klipsun Board displayed its good judgment by selecting Eggert Burns as edi'tor, and Oliver Ingersoll as business manager of the 1923 Klipsun. Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 51 ---------- Wednesday, November 29, was 'the last day of the first quarter. But it meant more than that to forty-nine Sophomores, who, overpowering their joyous emotions, received their diplomas with all the dignity befitting such a solemn occasion. Forty-four Sophomores entered at the beginning of the second quarter to keep the ranks of the Sophomore class well filled." Here the Superintendent paused for breath, and exclaimed loudly, "They were lucky to be in such a wonderful class. I wish I had lived in those days. Then he read on, without further loss of time: "Witth the beginning of the second quarter, the following class officers were elected at the peppy meeting: GERTRUDE M ORGANTHALER ..................................... ... .................

The Superintendent of Excavation gently wrapped the worn document in his coat, and, carrying it as a sleepy parent carries a nervous baby after suc-ceeding in putting it to sleep for the fourth time, he said, proudly: "How lucky we have been to recover this precious record! I will deliver this personally tomorrow to the Jonesonian Institute." And to this very day a visitor at the Institute can see'the History of the Sophomore Class of 1923 of the Bellingham State Normal School, closely guarded, in the place of honor among relics. GLENN M. BREAKEY. Fifty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 52 ---------- AU REVOIR We, the Sophomores of I923, feel that we must record the sentiments that surge through us as we leave to carry out our life's work. We are going into a new environment. The change from school life to the life of appli-cation will be gradual. As we have worked 'at the shrine of Education so shall we work at tle feet of Experience. We have hopes that in our future work we shall be able to inspire those with ,whom we labor and to create in them a desire for the better things of life. We hope that we shall lbe a credit to our school, its faculty, our fathers and mothers, and our country. We leave behind us two short years of life. How long they seemed when we entered the Normal School, but now, as we look back, in reality: how short! Those two years were filled with opportunities. Of thiese opportuni-ties we have availed ourselves of those that we thought were best suited to our needs. In this way we have become what we are today. May the classes that come after us profit by our mistakes and errors. To the. faculty of our Alma Mater we express our deepest gratitude, for, through them, we have been taught the meaning of the word "service." Their versatility has been an inspiration to us. In them we see personified the saying that "'A little each day is enough, if each day accomplishes that little." To them we extend your most sincere thanks four showing us that education consists in forging the mind. Now, we are looking forward. Some of us see a life of service in the teaching profession; others, in other callings. All of us shall go forth domi-nated by the spirit of our Alma Mater. May success attend us! LELAND A.

Fresh: "Freshman class meeting! Some meeting, too." Soph: "I 'admire your Freshman pep. Who'd you elect for president?" Fresh: "Guy Bond's president. Guess we know a good man when we see him." Soph: "You bet you do. Who're the other officers?" Fresh: "Vice-president, Desmond Fulp; secretary, Blanche Cloetta, and treasurer, Angue Bowmer. You couldn't find a better lot of class officers anywhere." Soph (departing) : "Good luck to you, but your pep'll soon die." Fresh (looking daggers at departing Soph) : "Just you wait!" ACT II. Scene: Big gym. A Freshman class mixer of girls whose names begin with the letters f to m, and all the boys of the school. Fresh to dignified Soph: "Hello, there! Some mixer, don't you think ?" Soph : "I'll have to admit this is the best Freshman mixer I ever attended." Fresh: "Sure, it's good. Did you hear about the play we gave at our last class meeting?" Soph : "Yes, I heard about it. Wish we'd do something like that; but, say, what was the idea of all the blue and white tags on everybody in your gang ?" Fresh: "Oh, those were 'I've paid my dues' tags. Everybody paid his dues, too, you bet." Soph (feeling need of refreshments) : "Seems to be time for the eats." Fresh: "Yea, let's join the procession to the cafeteria." ACT III.

Do you ever give programs? We gave two excellent ones, but I've never heard of your class giving any." Soph (beginning to get ruffled) : "Maybe we don't give programs, but we have Sophs in all the school activities." Fresh: "Well, so do we, and a lot more. The best people on the debate, basketball, football, and baseball teams are Freshmen. We boast of a tulip queen from our class-Miss Mabel Hickson." Soph (losing dignity) : "You win."

S. a Senior and a Junior class, based on a four and a three-year course, respectively, take their places among the organizations of the school. In 1917, through an act of the Legislature, the three-year course was in-troduced; a four- year course was also planned for, but was not to go into effect until 1920. In checking over the list of 'r7 graduates, twelve were found to be eligible to graduation in May. Since then ninety-nine students have received third-year dillomas, and two have completed a one-year college course. In March, 1922, Mrs. Verna McGinis took the first four-year diploma. Since then Bessmarie Alexander, Chas. A. Buddy, Mary B. Egbert, and Frederick Roby Palmer have completed the course. To this list will be added the names of the present Seniors, Dale Pfaff and Rose M. Davis.

One Hundred Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 110 ---------- HoRACE RAHSILOPF, Coach Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Rahskopf for the progress made in debate during the past two years. The debaters have worked hard, but it is because of his able coaching that they have succeeded so well. When the schedule of the past year is contrasted with that of three years a!go, the progress is amazing. Not only has the school won the inter-normal triangular contest for the Allison Cup, after two successive years of defeat: it has also, in meeting the two colleges in Oregon, extended its schedule and stimulated its interest in forensic activities. The record of the past year shows debate to be firmly established in Bellingham Normal. It is expected that next year the schedule will be enlarged still more to include, besides the contests with the colleges in Oregon and the inter-normal affair, a tour of the Pacific Coast as far as Southern California. The increased interest in debating and the assurance that several of this year's team will return next year make prospects for the future more than encouraging.

LINFIELD DUAL DEBATE. ]Bellingham, Affirmative, I Linfield, 2 Bellingham, Negative, o Linfield, 3 At the morning assembly hour onl Wednesday, March 14, a negative team of two men representing Linfield College of McMinnville, Oregon, met the Normal's affirmative team on the home floor. Our speakers were Robert Tunstall and Tohn O'Rourke. In logic, in clear-cut clash of argument, and in delivery this debate is conceded to be one of the best and hardest-fought de-bates ever heard here. The negative won by contending that it could not be shown that an industrial court could operate efficiently. On the evening of the same day a team of women upholding the negative of the same utiestion met Linfield's affirmative team of two women at Mc- Minnville. This debate also was a splendid example of logical thinking and effective trt( rv. The nevative case argued that a system of courts could not handle efficiently and justly all the intricate labor problems arising in essential , industries. The Normal's team was made up of Ruth Magner and Julia ' Whitmore. PACIFIC DEBATE Bellingham, Negative, I Pacific, 2 The group which took the trip to Oregon was made up of three speakers. Besides 'debating Linfield College, they also met Pacific University at Forest Grove, Oregon, on the evening of Tuesday, March 13, upholding the negative of the same question. The Normal's team in this debate was made up of Dorothy Jones and Julia Whitmore. Speaking of the trip to Oregon and of the debates of this series with Linfield and Pacific, Mr. Rahskopf said: "I don't feel at all disappointed. The team did a fine piece of work and I am well pleased. We found the people in * both colleges to be good sports and we were royally entertained by them. I am happy over the result of the whole thing." One Hundred Twelve ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 113 ---------- DEBATE Resolved, That the United States should adopt a system of responsible cabinet government similar in principle to that in force in Great Britain. BELLINGHAM-BA.DGER DEBATE. Bellingham, Negative 2 Badger Club, _i In the contest with the Badger Debate Club of the University of Wash-ington, which was held on Wednesday morning, February 14, at the Normal, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Simonson upheld the negative. They based their argument on the grounds that the affirmative team had shown no way of transplanting the cabinet system without bringing with it certain inherent defects which had proved to be serious handicaps in England. The affirmative team failed to meet their objection satisfactorily. INTER-NORMAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE. Bellingham, Affirmative, 3 Ellensburg Normal o Bellingham, Negative, 2 Cheney Normal, I In the contest between the three normal schools of the state, the negative team of each school debated away from home. Bellingham's team went to Cheney, Cheney's to Ellensburg, and Ellensburg's to Bellingham. All three debates were held on the evening of March I. On the home floor Miss Peterson, Miss Anderson, and Mr. Airnold, ,upholding the affirmative, proved far superior in both logic and delivery to the team representing Ellensburg. Their argument showed the inefficiency in our government arising from frequent deadlocks between the executive and legislative branches, the attempts to secure efficient functioning thru unity between these two branches, and the failure of that unity because of our basic theory of separation of powers in government. These things, they con-tended, showed the necessity for the fusion of executive and legislative powers by adopting the principle of the cabinet system. The closing rebuttal speech clinched the case by showing that the negative had in substance agreed with the affirmative throughout the debate. One Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 114 ---------- The decision gave Bellingham five cut of nine judges' decisions in s the three debates, and thus secured to us possession of the Allison Cup for the coming year. The Allison Cup is a beautiful trophy, given by Mr. Guy S. Allison to stimulate interest in debating among the normal schools of this state. Mr. Allison is a graduate of Bellingham Normal, and is now engaged in business in San Francisco and Portland. Under the terms of the inter-normal debate agreement the school winning the cup for three years in succession is entitled to hold it permanently. It is probable that during the next few years the rivalry for its possession will wax even keener than in the past. Miss Arnell, Mr. Henderson, and Mr. Simonson traveled to Cheney to debate there against Cheney's affirmative. They based their argument on two contentions: ( ) That the cabinet system would be undesirable because, if brought to this country it would create faults similar to those now existing in England. (2) That principles of government, being the result of develop-ment, cannot be transplanted from one country to another with success. Since the Cheney team had built their case on the assumption that the opposition would defend our present principle of government, they were unable to meet the negative argument. a One Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 115 ---------- WAr WP~5WUEU U .'t l One Hundred Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 116 ---------- SANFORD E.

At Tacoma, on October 14, the Normal squad defeated the College of Puget Sound in the first official game of the season. Although this was the first game of this year for the Normal team, they fought like veterans from whistle to whistle. The College of Puget Sound had determined to make up for the defeat which they had received at the hands of the Normal squad in 1921, a defeat of 17 to 6, but the Normal had decided that there should be two klefeats in a row. In the first three minutes of the play, the Normal backfield tore a hole through left tackle and sent a man through for a touchdown, carrying the ball two-thirds the length of the field, for the first touchdown of the game. After a successful try for gcal, the score stood 7 to o in favor of the Normal. The fight was new on in earnest, the C. P. S. team determined to regain the lost ground and the Blue and White warriors determined to hold the lead already ga'ned. During the last half, the heavy C. P. S. team forced the ball across the Normal goal line for their only touchdown during the game. The Normal team rallied, and by a series of line bucks and forward passes, again crossed the C. P. S. goal line for another 6 points. After a suc-cessful try for goal the Normal possessed 14 points. The story of the last few minutes of the play is one in which the C. P. S. fought hard to even the score, but the Normal was successful in stopping the onslaught of her heavy opponents. VWhen the final whistle blew, the score stood 14 to 7 in favor of the Normal. The Normal line-up : Keplinger, Bond, Clark, Rairdon, Knowlton, Frank, Lindstedt, Ford, Gaasland, Staggs, Miller, and Thomas. Substitutes: Dawson for Bond; W. Thomas for Miller; Miller for Gaas-land. On October 19 the Normal team met the University of Washington Frosh on the Bellingham field, and, according to all "dope," the teams were evenly matched. The Normal team was particularly anxious to win because of the defeat which they had received at the hands of the visitors in 1921, the score at that time being 14 to o in favor of the Frosh. The lines of both teams were evenly matched but the Normal line could not withstand the charges of the Fresh's heavy backfield. The Normal realized early in the game the futility of bucking the Frosh line, and relied upon a series of forward passes for gaining yardage. Twice (luring the game the Normal worked the ball dlown the field to the 20-yard line, and each t'me a forward pass was intercepted, thereby losing the ball to the Frosh. The visitors depended on the charges of their heavy backfield for gain-ing yardage and thus secured the points necessary to win the contest. One IurInred Seventeen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 118 ---------- When the final whistle blew, the score stood 9 to o in favor of the Frosh. The players of both teams will always remember this game as a hard-fought battle. Normal line-up: Keplinger, Dawson, Rairdon, Knowlton, Frank, Lind-stedt, Staggs, Thomas, Clark, Vanderford and Ford. Substitutes: Gaasland for Vanderford; W. Thomas for Staggs; Bowman for Ford. On October 27, the Normal squad met the team from St. Martins Col-lege, on the Bellingham field. The teams, as far as weight was concerned, were evenly matched, but the Normal's main standby, the forward pass, was rendeied useless on account of the muddy field and the uncertainty of passing a slippery ball. The story of the game is one of line plunges and attempted end-runs, both sides often losing the ball on fumbles. g The St. Martins squad put up a hard fight in their attempt to make up for the defeat which they received from the Normal in 1921, a defeat of 6 to o. When the timekeeper signaled the close of the game, the score stood 7 to 7, each team having made one touchdown and then kicked goal. Normal line-up: Lindstedt, Dawson, Keplinger, Frank, Rairdon, Ford, Knowlton, Staggs, Gaasland, Thomas and Tryggvi. Substitutes: Bond for Dawson; W. Thomas for Gaasland; and Bowman for Ford. At Ellensburg, November 4, the Bellingham Normal squad met the strong Ellensburg Normal team, the team which had defeated the Cheney Normal team earlier in the season. On the outcome of this game rested the football championship of the Normal Schools of the state, and, consequently, was a hard fought battle throughout. S The Bellingham line was in the pink of condition for the fight, but the backfield was the wea'kest that it had been at any time during the season. The weakness of the backfield was due to the fact that one of the regular players had left school, and furthermore, two of the halfbacks had, in previous games. received injuries from which they had not totally recovered. The Bellingham team tore holes through their opponents' line, but the backfield men were not in condition to deliver the follow-up necessary to gain yardage. The final score of 19 to o in favor of Ellensburg, secured for Ellensburg the Normal football championship for 1922. Normal line-up: Dawson, Frank, Knowlton, Lindstedt, Rairdon, Ford, Keplinger, Staggs, Gaasland, Miller and Thomas. Substitutes: Hillier for Staggs; W. Thomas for A.

One Hundred Twenty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 122 ---------- The basketball season opened with a large turnout for practice, and after two weeks' training it was found necessary to limit the squad to sixteen men, due to cramped training facilities. Practically all of the men chosen had had experience on high school teams, and as a consequence the season started off with red hot enthusiasm on the part of all concerned. A real contest developed for the first team positions, and the players were chosen from the way they showed up in the series of games played with Edison, Fairhaven H. S., Ferndale H. S., Blaine H. S.,and the Y. M. C. A. In each of these games Coach Carver used his entire squad in order that he might follow the actual performance of each player in some of the games. The story of the playing of the Blue and White hoopsters is told by the fact that out ,of the 17 games played, the Normal won 15 and lost 2. The total points scored by the Normal (luring the games being 592, while their op-ponents made 378. One of the features of the basketball season was the winning of the championship of the Washington Normals and also of the minor colleges by the Bellingham school. The Bellingham Normal wen three out of the four games played with Ellensburg, and both games played with Cheney. The basketball season throughout was considered by Coach Carver and the entire school as being highly successful from all angles. A record has thus been established that will be recorded in the history of the school, thereby establishing a precedent for the teams that are to follow, in the years to come. Men earning letters in basketball were: Randolph Dawson, Laurence Keplinger, Carl Hoggatt, Leland Rankin, Walter Vanderford, Maurice Thomas, Orville Hoggatt, Guy Bond. SECOND TEAM.

Included in the group were five of last year's letter men, these forming the nucleus around which Coach Carver built his team.

Basketball, baseball, hockey, tennis, and track have been a source of pleasure to a great many girls of this school. The successful outcome of these activities is largely due to Miiss Frank, the coach. She has worked untiringly through-out the whole year, and has had her hands full managing and coaching the teams. Never before have so many different branches of athletics been open to the girls, nor such a feeling of good fellowship and sportsmanship developed as during the past season. Their motto has been, "Sport for spoirt's sake." BASKETBALL. As in previous years, basketball played the greater part in the girl's ath-letics. The season opened in December with verve, and found a score of girls keenly interestedl in basketball. For the first two months, our coach, Miss Frank, gave all the practice to passing and to the study of rules and the etiquette of ,good. clean plavin. From early in December until February, on every afternoon of the week, 'the girls turned out faithfully and regularly for practice. In February, teams were chosen to represent the two classes, with the Kline Cup as the prize. This is the prize awarded to the team scoring the greater number of points in the series of three games. Violet Mitcham, the reliable forward, was. chosen captain by the Sophomores; Carla La Vigne, the speedy center, was the Freshman choice. The first game was one of great excitement and one long to, be remem-bered by both teams. As the Sophomores had 'won 'the Kline Cup the past year, the Freshmen entered the game with a strong determination to capture the prize: trophy, while the Sophomores were just as determined to keep, it; so the battle was on. From the first toss-up each knew that whoever won a would have to put up a hard fight. At the end of the first half, the Sophomores were ahead with a score of 16-14. During the intermission the Freshmen became imbued with a determination to win, and the last half of the game was a hard fight for supremacy. The Sophomores did some remarkable team-work, but the Freshman seemed to have a charm over the ball and some notable plays were made. When the whistle blew, the Freshmen had won by a score of 29-25. The second game was full of suspense and excitement, the score being tied at the end of the first half. Again the Freshmen were victorious with the game ending in a score 28-17, thus giving them a lead of 13 points. With much spirit and enthusiasm, everyone looked forward to the third and final game that was to decide the winners of the cherished Kline Cup. Through the halls and around the gym, just before the game, small groups were to be found seriouly discussing some apparently weighty subjects. Com-ing closer, one might chance to hear some stray remark such as: "Now, who do you think will win ?" followed by individual opinions. Or, they might have been discussing the deciding game, for that was the subject uppermost in One Hundred Twenty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 129 ---------- everyone's mind. Tuesday night the game was played and every member of each team had the light of battle in her eye. Long before 4 o'clock the small gym was packed. As the two teams came on the floor, a deafening cheer went up from both sides, and the "Rah ! Rah ! Rah! Freshman !" could hardly be distingushed from the "Hip! Hip! Hooray! Sophomores!" The whistle sounded, the game was on hard and fast, each team determined to win. Skilled teamwork was apparent on both sides. The first half ended in a tie, Io-Io. As the girls came back for the second half the loyal supporters of both teams were tense with suspense. The Sophs were hoping for only 7 baskets more than their opponents. After fifteen minutes of quick, decisive playing and excellent team work on the part of both teams, the enthusiastic shouts of the Freshmen told that fcr the next year the Kline Cup was theirs, as the final score for the series of games was 79-59, in their favor.

The first six weeks meetings of the classes were devoted entirely to instructions in volley ball rules and methods of playing the game. The next three weeks were filled with much enthusiasm and spirit, as the girls of each class chose their captains and formed teams. As much enthusiasm was aroused in the games which were played as had been shown in the preceding quarter's athletic contests, but neither class seemed to gain prece-dence over the other and each game was lost and won in the spirit of "sports for sports' sake." The last six weeks were given entirely to indoor baseball and tennis. Many girls who, heretofore, had never shown athletic ability rose to the height of fame in the games which were played between the two classes. Several games of tennis were played between the Freshman and Sopho-more classes, but the contestants were so equally matched that neither could stand out as being victor.

Editor THE WEEKLY MESSENGER Real news, live jokes, announrements, student and faculty pictures, stu-dent opinions, insjpiring editorials-these are but a few of the things that have characterized The Weekly Messenger for the past year and made it a forceful reminder that the Normal is a live school-that its faculty and stu-dents are actually accomplishing things. Beginning shortly before 1903, the Students' Association has published The Weekly Messenger, and has endeavored each year to make it more rep-resentative of school life, more interesting and more worth while in every way. At first The Messenger was published quarterly, then monthly and, since 1916, weekly. The Board of Control, made up of five students and two faculty representatives, is responsible for its management. The organization of The Messenger consists of a business manager, who receives a salary, and editor-in- chief, who receives four credits in English for the first quarter and, if re-elected, a salary for the second quarter, and a staff of reporters, who re-ceive two credits each. One Hundred Thirty-Seven ,. r1N dFl to t"I v n ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 138 ---------- The regular issue of the Messenger contains from eight to ten pages, but specials containing extra pages are sometimes issued. A high grade quality of magazine paper is used, which makes it more attractive than the ordinary school paper. Its attractiveness is further enhanced by the quality and beauty of its cuts. The editorial policy of the Messenger the past year has been a construc-tive one, keeping in mind at all times the best interests of the school. Whole-some physical and social activities have at all times been earnestly championed and high standards of scholarship continually upheld. The Messenger has also unceasingly urged student attendance at all school activities. It is com-monly accepted as a fact that the Messenger has dcone more than any other one institution to create a real school spirit. At the beginning of the first quarter, Don Clark, a graduate of Whatcom High School, was elected business manager. He gave up this position at the end of a few weeks, as unforeseen circumstances caused him to leave school. Sam Ford, a graduate of Ellensburg High School, and a student at the Normal, was then elected business manager. Under the business management of Mr. Ford the Messenger has been put on a sound financial basis, and a re-serve of hundreds of dollars has been built up. The Messenger now carries more inches of advertising than ever before in its history, and it is believed that the advertisers are getting results. Helen Hightower, a veteran Messenger reporter, was elected editor for the first quarter. She proved herself very capable, and made the Messenger a medium of information, instruction, and entertainment. Mrs. Carl Irish, a graduate of Winlock High School, was elected editor for the second quarter, and re-elected for the third quarter. She came well recommended, and proved herself a capable journalist. She originated the Health Column, Student Opinion, and several other new departments in the paper. Nothing escaped her all-seeing eye. She has consistently built the i paper up to a higher state of perfection. Mrs. Vaughan, the Messenger critic, has proved herself a constant source of inspiration. She has set high ideals for the Messenger, and these ideals are gradually being reached. Mrs. Vaughan has not only caused constant improvement in the paper, but has endeared herself to all members of the staff as well. -0- One 1 hindred 'Thirty-Eiight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 139 ---------- One Hindred 'Ihirty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 140 ---------- THE STORM FIRST PRIZE STORY HELEN CASE I know not how long I sat there, but as what seemed an unusually fierce blast of wind burst over the cabin, I sprang from the chair and began pacing the floor before the open fire, blindly groping for some faint trace of the past, almost frantic, there alone with the horror of a last memory, a horror made keener by the unlashed force of the frenzied elements without, the barren lonesomeness of the room, and the knowledge-or rather sense-of the com-plete isolation of the cabin. For I knew not where I was, nor did I know by what means I had come there, nor for what purpose. The past, up to the time that the cabin had taken form around me and I had become conscious of the tempest without, was a blank. A faint sense of expectancy was apparent, but for what or whom I knew not. I stepped to the door; opened it enough to peer out into the night. With-out was inky darkness; not an atom of light penetrated the dull black curtain that overcast the heavens. The light from within scarcely struggled a. foot into the blinding, unrelenting icy toirrent that swept past and over the cabin. The clinking ice-covered branches of a giant oak that hugged the eaves, moaned and shrieked unceasingly; at intervals the great limbs clanking loudly sent volleys of their glass coating clattering over the roof. Again I returned to, the chair before the huge smoke-blackened fireplace and sat there listening to the hissing,,sputtering voices of the burning logs on the hearth, while uncanny impish flashes and shadows bowed, danced, and mocked each other over and about me, while the moaning, clattering fools cackling without sent burning, then icy, fingers tracing down my spine filling my soul with superstition, dlread, and unbearable lonesomeness,. Suddenly the door burst open and the icy blast swept into the room. The * fire flared and roared on the hearth and the whole cabin shuddered. I sprang for the open door with almost hysterical relief, and peered again out into the frozen hurricane. I could see nothing but a shifting, whirling volume of grey and even that faint trace of the nig'ht was almost obliterated by the wind-driven particles of snow and ice that heat into my face with blinding, suffo-cating force. I stood for a moment breasting the storm, with the wind rushing in about me chilling the very fire in the hearth, trying to force my vision out into the lashing elements, half expecting:, wildly hoping that it would encounter some living thing, probably some wild thing caught out in the storm, seeking shelter, for even my wildest hopes could not imagine any human being out in such a night. Then through a blast of less snow-filled air it seemed that I discerned something, a faint outline of darker substance than the snow-covered earth that lay without in the space that should have been lighted by the open door. With one hand clutching the door frame, I ventured a step into the night, my foot touched-I almost stumbled onto something soft. Groping about, my hand encountered a. mass of snow-covered cloth and then a shoe. I uttered a One Hundred Forty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 141 ---------- smothered -cry and my lungs filled with ice and my breath stopped. I stooped to drag the thing into the cabin, then realizing the comparative lightness of it, I gathered it into my 'arms, staggered into the cabin and deposited it on the floor before the fire. Closing the door, I rushed back and began frantically tearing at the frozen cloth, th'at I now realized inclosed a human figure. I loosened the outer covering and as the hood fell back, my brain reeled, and for an instant I almost held my lost memory within my grasp, for what I saw before me was a woman, hardly more than a girl. Memory hovered close for an instant, and 'then was gone. I knew that it was she for whom I waited but that was all, except that she was dearer to me than life itself. Flinging myself at her side I tore frc m her, her outer garments land shoes and began vigorously chafing her body and hands. I worked, numb with fear; praying, pleading, then demanding life for her. After hours it seemed I felt the pulse tremble and 'the hand I held grew soft and warm. I arose, drew the rude couch before the fire. Lifting her upon it I covered her with a blanket and then threw more wood on the fire. When I returned to, her side, her beautiful blue eyes were open and she gazed into the fire. Her gaze wandered about the flickering' walls, then stopped when they encountered my own. "Oh," she cried in a queer anxious voice. "Hurry! Hurry!" For an instant a strange convulsion of thought seized me and the forgotten past was almost within my grasp. I strove after it with every ounce of will power that I could muster, but with no avail, I stared hard into her face, but she had already fallen again into deep slumber. Settling back in my chair by her couch, I sat, my eyes never leaving her, as tho she were the only tie by which I retained my reason, even my life. I seemed to be fighting some unseen force ,that menaced her as well as myself. I know not how long I sat there with that wild melody of the night in my ears, my soul crying for her to awaken, for well I knew that she held the key to my present unnatural trouble. Yet I dared not awaken her. At length her Keyes opened and ,for an instant wandered about. She saw me; a blank, bewildered look came into. her eyes and she struggled for an instant to arise; then as tho still too weak,,she settled back into her couch. Then she spoke. "I can't seem to remember where we are. What 'are we doing here ? Oh, I don't know who we are." I staggered and cried aloud with disappointment. I did not answer, for I dared not tell her that since I found myself in the cabin hours before, that I, with all my might had been trying to solve those very mysteries. Then omit-ting mention of myself I told her of my taking her in out of the storm. She listened, her eyes wide with wonder. "Silly," she said, "I haven't been away from you even. I belong here with you." "I know that," I hastened to reply. "But-" I halted at a loss what to say. One Hundred Forty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 142 ---------- Her eyes filled with pity at my bewilderment and she sat erect, her little white hand slipped into mine. "Tell me what is the matter, (lear," she said. "I must know now." I gathered her into my arms and a feeling of peace and contentment came over me, such as I had never known before. Then I told her of my own lost memory, for now it seemed a matter of no importance. With her in my arms, nothing mattered; life, even death, must be full now. I knew that of the past I held the greatest and most wonderful part. Then I added, "So you see, dear, I don't know either, but we will prob-ably remember all when morning comes and the storm ceases." But in my own mind I doubted it would cease. "But," she quickly exclaimed, "I wish I knew why I was out there in the storm." Then a soft, puzzled look came into her eyes and she seemed to be / listening for something. She crept closer into my arms and almost in a whisper added. "I almost hear something out there as if it were calling me. Don't you know? Can't you see that we lack something? If we could stop the storm and could remember we could have it." I answered, honestly enough, not being sure I wanted anything changed. "I feel nothing but content." So with her in my arms I sat, my heart filled with wonder and peace, my brain dull and drowsy. I must have been dozing, until something suddenly sounded from without that brought me up with a start. It must have been a cry, yet I knew it was impossible. I looked at her. "Did you hear it too ?" she whispered. "No," I lied. "I just remembered what you said when you first awak-ened. You said, "Daddy," and told me to hurry!" For an instant startled despair flooded her eyes. Then they became little flaming sparks and her mouth grew hard. She sprang from my arms and grasped the huge iron poker from near the fire and raised it high above my head. "Fool," she cried, "Hurry !" The poker descended and darkness came. I opened my eyes and became conscious of a strange, crackling, roaring sound, and a strong odor filled my nostrils. Through a haze I made my way out through the smoke-clouded room. My brain cleared. This was no cabin, but our own home. I darted through the hall to the nursery and grabbed the sleeping baby, took him to his wide-awake and now hysterical mother just as the firemen came rushing up the stairs. We turned just in -time to see the fire coming through the partition into the baby's room. I never mentioned my dream to her and am inclined to think that she does not know of the night in the cabin. Yet sometimes, when the wind blows and the snow flies, that soft, puzzled look comes into her eyes and it seems to me she is unusually attentive to little Billy. One Hundred Forty-Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 143 ---------- PORKY'S PAY SECOND PRIZE STORY MARGARET L. STAPLETON The strings of lights down Western Avenue shone dim and hazy through the thick, chill fog of an early morning in November as Porky stepped out of a hospital stairway and shuffled along past the inviting signs of chop houses and quick lunch counters. The aroma of strong, steaming coffee cried appeal-ingly but vainly to him-for Porky was broke. He muttered curses against the reasonless efficiency of the progressive Western city which by its well-organized and united administration of charity prevented the dalliant sponging from one organization to another that had elsewhere supported him. In desperation, since his arrival in the city a week before, he had accepted the job of distribution of bargain-screaming advertise-ments for a Jewish clothing store. The papers he had distributed in the near-est garage receptacle; the proceeds, a half dollar, had provided three meals of semi-satisfying quality. Sadly he faced the inevitable-work. An hour later his application for that which he most detested met with success. The shrewd foreman of a wharfage company had gazed appraisingly from his unshaven, vacant face to his ham-like arms and set him to work unloading bags of cement from a scow. The work was not of a kind con-ducive to mental fatigue, but, as the day wore on, and a drizzling rain began to leak out over the city, Porky longed for the solitude of a hospitable shed or doorway and the solace of flapjacks or beef sandwich. As noon approached, in spite of the weariness produced by the heaviness of cement sacks, lifted by muscles unused to work, all thoughts were swept away by a ravenous hunger. As the men, set free at noon, started to leave the dock, Porky stepped up to his employer. "Say, boss, lend me a quarter against the day's pay," he entreated. The man gazed at him suspiciously. "I know your kind," he said. "If I pay you before night you'll jump the job. Nothin' stirrin-'." "Lend me a quarter and I'll pay you tonight," he whined to a fellow worker, a tall, gawkey man with a sallow face. "I don't make a principle of lending," he drawled. "Besides, my allowance from my brother, the Duke de Goof, hasn't arrived this month. I'm rather low myself." By this time the crowd of workers had scattered and Porky was left to lie flat upon an irregular mountain of sacks and contemplate the ironies of fate thruout the noon hour. If the morning had seemed long, the afternoon was endless. Porky's fatigue, mounting each weary moment, increased his natural aversion to work. Finally, when he was sure that all the clocks in the world had stopped, the whistles brought relief. As it happened that Porky was farthest from the gang-plank when the whistle blew, he was. the last to reach the shore. About to touch it, he was met by the returning foreman. One Hundred Forty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 144 ---------- What! The job's not done! Hey, there, you big piece of cheese ! addressing Porky, "you stay on and finish !" he bawled. Red revolt rose in Perky's 1;osom, but long experience as the under dog gave wisdom. He turned back to the unfinished task and set to work fever-ishly in order to complete it as soon as possible. Each sack seemed heavier than the last. A defective sack scattered the fine white (lust into the air. His eyes smarted and his hands were raw and red. But in spite of it all there arose to cheer him visions of hot, thick pancakes reeking with butter and maple syrup. Juicy steaks and enormous helpings of mashed potato floated before him as in the deepening gloom he sought the shore and presented himself to the foreman who sat at a desk in the dimly lit outer office of the transportation company, making out his reports at the end of the day's work. The man care-lessly made out a slip, remarking : All the fight of Porky's make-up arose. With shaking fist he glared at the man behind the desk. "I want my pay now! Right now ! D'you hear? I don't want it to-morrow! I want it now!" he bellowed. For a minute the two men gazed at each other. The foreman had risen and was taking in the other, coolly, calmly inspecting him from head to foot. "You'll take your pay tomorrow or you'll leave it. Now, shut up and get out before I forget I ever hired you !" Sullenly Porky seized the pay check and slunk out of the office. The world was again reduced to a gray, cold, foodless void. Early the next morning the boy who came to clean the office found a tall, timid figure crouched against the doorway. Porky's eyes had a look of mute expectancy as he awaited the late arrival of the spruce and prosperous looking clerk. He stepped up to the window and presented his check. "Let me see," said the man. "Ten hours of work at forty-five cents. Four-fifty. Not married, 'are you?" "Nope," growled Porky. "Now, do you happen to have fifty cents ?" "Why the Sam Hill do you want to know ?" Porky muttered. "Well, you see that will be needed to, make the five dollars for your bachelor tax." U One Hundred Forty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 145 ---------- ON THE WAY THIRD PRIZE STORY IULIA SEMPLE At last the packing was done and Miss Jane sat waiting on the front porch for the rig which was to take her to the Home. Her lips trembled as she gazed around. "Good-bye," she whispered. "Good-bye." Not wishing to be detected by Sarah, who might return at any moment, she wenit down the walk to take one or more look at the cherished rose bushes. A few straggling buds were, left, though it was late October. "You are beautiful," sheisaid, as she plucked a half-blown bud, "but one ;day you .will be withered like this one." She held up a dried and faded one. "Life was made so." Sarah's voice came clearly from the kitchen. "The rig is here." With a heavy heart Jane walked down the !path. A heavy middle-aged man descended from the wagon and proceeded to load the trunk and various other bundles. "Good-bye, Sarah," called Jane from the high seat. "Good- bye, Aunt Jane. Let m.e hear if you get there all right." "I'll drop a line tomorrow. You've been real kind, Sarah." Suddenly, Sarah climbed into the wagon and caught the slight figure in her arms. "Oh, you're so good," she whispered. "I hope you'll be happy. You know if you hain't, George and I will be glad to have you come back." Jane Clemmy caught her lips hard between her teeth. Then she spoke calmly. "'I know, dear, but I'll be all right. Go on. Go on quick," she breathed to the driver. They had traveled perhaps two miles in silence when the man pointed out a new brick school house on the site of the little old frame one thlat had burned down'the summer before. "It's got electric lights and a water fountain," he boasted. "My, don't times change ithough ?" exclaimed Jane Clemmy. Again there was silence. "I don't know as I've been over this road in years," she continued at length. "My niece and I usually went the other way by railroad, but I guess there's no railroad to the Home. That's why they had to send." "It was no trouble for me. Ever see the Home?" Jane Clemmy shook her head. "No," she said slowly. "No. They say it's nice." "It is. I know the matron. She's a nice woman." "She is ?" "Yes, ma'am. I worked the farm for her before I bought one of my own joining' it." One Hundred Forty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 146 ---------- They were approaching the old church. "My land !" exclaimed Miss Jane. "Don't that look natural? Let's see. The cemetery is over there, ain't it ?" The man assented. "Would it be asking too much, would it carry you too far out of your way, to take me there? I'd be willing to pay you extra." "That's all right. Won't take five minutes. Your folks buried there?" "No," she shook her head. "All the Clemmys are buried over to Sleepy Hollow burying ground." The man started, and looked at her as if seeing her for the first time. "So you're a Clemmy. Your niece being a Davis, I didn't'know." He fumbled the lines nervously. "She's my sister's daughter. When her mother died she came to live with me." They were nearing the entrance. "There it is," she exclaimed, pointing to a large maple tree in one corner of the grounds. "Would you mind driving in the shade of that tree.?" "Thank you," she said with a deeply indrawn breath, when they had reached the place. "I just wanted to see how it looked." The man cleared his throat as if to speak. Jane waited politely but as he remained silent, she continued. "When I was looking over my things to come away, I found a rose that was given to me here by the young man I was to marry. "We thought the tree hid us that day but it didn't." She gazed at the man beside her as if seeing him for the first time. "His nose reminds me some of yours. Otherwise there is no resemblance." He opened his mouth but no words came. Jane went on. "Someone saw us and told my father. Father thought I had been deceiving him so he vowed I'd never leave home again. I never did except to go to church with him and sister Susan, until after father died. I had one letter from him. Father burned it before I had a chance to read it." She paused. "For as much as five years I believed and hoped." "How do you mean, believed ?" "Believed he'd come for me. But I really never held it against him after the first. I hain't had much happiness in my life, except what Sarah brought me. She's going to get married now. That's why I'm going to the Home. I mean she'll have her chance. Not to be shut up with a hard old woman." "You ain't hard," asserted the man. "I might get so." "And you ain't old, either." "That's because you're about my age, you think that." "You deserve ... I hope you deserve better than to go to a Home," said the man- solemnly. . "Oh, they say it's real nice there," responded Jane Clemmy with deter-mined cheerfulness. After a pause she continued. One Hundred Forty-Six I - - ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 147 ---------- I didn't need to go to the Home, but when Sarah told me she was going to get married-well I just wanted her to have her chance-to be happy. It was somehow a comfort and relief to talk to this gentle voiced man. The sun had sudenly sunk out of sight. The early October dusk was fast approaching. In the chilly air Jane shuddered. "You cold ?" asked the man gently. He clambered from his seat to the rear of the wagon, coming back directly with a warm shawl which he spread over Jane's lap. Standing beside her, hat off, "Jane," he said, "look." Startled, Jane obeyed. "Why," she began, faintly. "You ain't?" "Yes I yam. It don't seem fair to let you go on thinking me a stranger." Her hands fell and she sank limply against the back of the wagon seat. "Oh," she faltered, "what have I said ?" "It's all right what you said." He drew up the sagging shawl. "I ought to have gone to your father. But when you didn't write, I thought maybe you didn't care." He put his hand over both of hers to still their trembling. "Listen, Jane. We were both young and foolish then. When you didn't answer my letter, I went away to try and forget. For ten years I wandered around thinking perhaps-" "What were you thinking?" "Perhaps you might write-and tell me what I wanted to know-what I asked in the letter." "That was the letter Father burned." "I had just made up, my mind to try again when word reached me you were married." Jane Clemmy looked fixedly at his face. His smile removed the last doubt of his identity. "Well of all things," she said. The man went on. "We can get a license at Harlem-" "License ?" "Jane, I hate like everything to take you to that home. If you will marry me tonight, I'll try to make up." Jane Clemmy sat silent. A tumult of feeling-fear-hope--- joy---dread, surprise passed through her mind. "Why," she exclaimed suddenly, "I can't I've applied, and my entrance fee is paid." But as if it were 'a cobweb, the man brushed the obstacle aside. "Anyway, I'll have to tell the matron," said Jane. The remainder of the journey was spent pleasantly in talking over old times and in planning for the future. Jane insisted upon explaining to the matron. I doubt very much if she made herself understood, for the matron remarked after she left, "Was she reported insane ?"

How sweetly thrills the heart With tender warmth, As, gazing at the summer sunset sky, The lingering token of a day gone by, I see the lovely colors come and go In slow and melting changes. Here in the dreaming purple twilight Returns the charm of life To soothe the pain That else would poignant be, Before the starlight Speaks through the night Of day's eternity. The glow is gone. The sky is gray and amber; But shading deep To darkness and the night. The stars come dimly out, Reflecting in the water, And answered back z By millions sparkling bright. Sparkling and darkling, The stars above and under, Answer my longings And fill my soul with wonder,- Wonder and longing Akin in earth and sky.

HAESKE The day was dying; the month was dying; the year was dying; and someone was saying that the stranger was dying in the deserted shack on Thunder Creek. "He'll last a couple days at th' most, an' then you fellows got to help me dig a hole fer him." It was the man who had found the stranger that was speaking. "Aw, toss 'm in the river," suggested another burly miner, flipping his cards on the rough table. With that the five men who had been playing cards arose from the boxes on which they were sitting and moved restlessly about the room. Their movements caused the flame from the oil lamp on the stove to quiver, which made the shadows of the men assume grotesque forms. "Say, gang !" a voice came from the corner. "Let's roam over to. the old shack and give th' bum th' once over." "Huh, might jus' as well. Can't get a kick out o' playin' poker with a forty-card deck. Anyhow, none of you birds got much cash, so wot's the use." And the dealer gathered up the abbreviated deck and stuck it in a chink in the wall. "Vatch a dead man die? Das ban von fool vay to commence das noo yar," one of the players observed. Old Timer, who had been sitting by the stove remarked dryly, "Well, 4 gents, this here year is already nineteen four, and it's fifteen minutes gone liOW. The new year's rejoicing consisted of a few yawns. Some one was cursing the new year; another was "damn glad nineteen three wuz gone;" another was finishing his stock of golden liquor. Thus the new year had come into Glacier Camp. The men were preparing to leave; one of them touched the old man on the shoulder. "Well, Old Timer, here's yer coat an' lid; come along; the whole bunch are going; anyway the tramp took yer old shack t' croak in, an' yu might jus' as well hop along an' enjoy yerself." Old Timer put on his coat and followed the miners. The seven men walked silently in single fire along the treacherous moun-tain path. Their lanterns cast weird reflections in the darkness of the wintry night against the snow. Some one stumbled and swore loudly; his voice echoed and re- echoed thru the tall trees that surrounded the illuminated space thru whch seven bulky forms were continually moving. The mournful howl of a wolf blended strangely with the voice of the miner. One Ihundred Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 151 ---------- Half an hour later, after having climbed, stumbled, and slid down a steep incline, the tumbled down shack was reached. The leader of the cavalcade en-tered, stopped short, and muttered: "Well, I'll be damned ;- he's dead." The others followed in and gathered around the cot of the dead man. "Ain't he a hell of a lookin' specimen ?" observed one of the men. The assemblage agreed with him. The corpse was hideous, ravaged with disease, unkempt, unshaven, his grey hair tangled, his figure gaunt like that of a scarecrow. "My God !" The men quickly turned their eyes on Old Timer who was standing horror struck by the side of the bed. He fell to his knees, took the man's hand and stared at the ruby ring the man was wearing. "He's come back-The ring I gave him-It's Andrew---He's come back." Spring had come to Glacier Camp. An artist could have found a thous-and inspirations in its majestic grandeur; but to the miners it meant mud, wash-outs, and the chances of finding a vein of ore uncovered by the slides, the chances of having their little mines cave in. A solitary horseman was approaching the old cabin on Thunder Creek. His remarkable athletic build was, brought out strongly by his eastern riding clothes. His face had a cynical look which was accentuated by an already grey Van Dyke beard. As he neared the cabin, his attention was caught by a lonely grave. He leaped off his mount and read the inscription on the rough white-washed cross. g1VDR w PATERS The horseman stood for a moment over the grave; then mounted his horse and rode along tlhe trail. As he was riding, a voice startled him. "'Yo mister !" One Hundred Fifty-One ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 152 ---------- He turned; it was a ragged boy on 'a ragged horse. "Where dja git them pants? Gosh, they look funny. You don't live here, do yu? Gosh, that's a beaut of a horse; how much dja pay fer him?-" then he stopped for a second. "Say mister, wot wuz yuh doin' at the old Patterson shack ?" The stranger had been smiling, but now his attitude became serious. "That grave-who is buried there?" "Aw, that's Ole Timer's brother. Ole Timer, he used to tell me all about him; yu know Ole Timer, don'tja? He shows me how to make traps'n snares. One (lay me an him went hunting an'-" "But what about his brother?" the stranger interrupted nervously. "Aw, he lived in the ol' shack with O1' Timer 'bout twenty 'r thirty years ago. The dead guy found a good mine; it's no good now, but he got a lot of money for it, a million dollars maybe. That's pretty much fer a no good mine, ain't it, Mister?" The stranger nodded and the boy continued. "Anyhow, this fellow told ;the Ole Timer he's goin' to Seattle 'r Noo York. Say, wuz you ever in Noo York? Anyhow, he sez he wuz goin' to git Ole Timer'n a couple years, but he don't. He come back though this win-ter, but paw sez he looked like the devil. Gosh, I wish I could have see'd him. He died an' my paw helped bury him;. My paw-" "Boy, take me to the place where Emil Patterson-I mean Old Timer lives," the stranger spoke hurriedly. "Yer there already. He lives in that there bunkhouse, right over- GOSH." The boy was standing alone gaping at a five-dollar bill in his palm. The door to the bunk house swung open and the stranger entered. Old Timer was seated in a corner pounding some pieces of quartz. He looked up. Staring at the stranger, he dropped his tools, rubbed his eyes and looked again, V his body trembling. "OH, GOD!-IT CAN'T BE-ANDREW---ANDREW---YOU ARE DEAD AND"-He arose slowly, his eyes terrified.

One Hundred Fifty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 154 ---------- A DREAMER OF DREAMS VIVIEN LOWMAN A dreamer of dreams, one bright spring day, Was dreaming dreams in a carefree way. He drcamned dreams of the things he was going to do When the time would come for dreams to come true. Oh, the conquests he'd make when he set to work; The tasks he'd do; he would not shirk. The world would resound with praise to his name. The people would stand in awe of his name. He dreamed, and the time to prepare went by, He dreamed, but work he did not try. A dreamer of dreams, one warm summer day, Sat dreaming dreams in his usual way. He dreamed of the way to fame and power, He dreamed of the things to do that hour, Of places of trust and highest esteem, Where things of import ,might be done by him, Of honors to alccrue from efforts put forth, Of people acclaiming his own true worth. He dreamed, and the days slid quietly on. He dreamed, and nary a vict'ry was won. A dreamer of dreams, one cold winter day, Sat dreaming dreams in a tired way. He dreamed of things he might have done, Of imposing honors he could hiave won. He dreamed of chances since gone by, Of worthwhile things he did not try. Oh, the many things that might have been Had he only known what he knew now, then. He dreamed, and the cold gray skies, Cast the last dark mist down over his eyes. The hustling mass that men call life, Went bustling on in its usual strife And those that saw asked what he'd done, Then, soon forgetting, passed quickly on.

My room is not a garret Above the topmost flight, Draped with ,shining cobwebs That mystify the night; But from my two lone windows I can watch the moon go out, Though my room is not the garret That poets sing about. My room is not a belfry With panes of painted glass, Of pious saints who peer At the people as they plass; But from my two lone windows I can hear a, Voice no doubt, Though my room is not the belfry That the clergy preach about. My room is not an attic Beneath the studded sky. My room is not a garret Where dreamers love to lie. My room is not a belfry With painted panes of glass; But from my two lone windows I can see the whole world pass. It may seem rather odd, But from those two lone windows I can worship God.

Where the mystic atmosphere Makes dusk and dawn as one, And the mild moon is just as dear As is the rising sun. Where there's dim luxuriant growth, And trees would scale the sky, And a goddess breathes on both, And lo-the clouds move by. I would hear the wind caress The seaweed's golden tresses, Which rise and fall upon the breast That the tide possesses. And wakes each sleeping harmony That lies in moss enchanted, And courts the woodland violets Until a kiss is granted. I would sail a painted boat And place in it a dream, And lie and watch the white clouds float Within the silent stream. I would make a. rustic lute Of reeds and fragrant grasses, And play upon the strings to woo Each wave as it passes. I would read the sky at night, The moon among the stars, And paint the sunset, and the light Behind her purple bars.

The revelry of day would end As does a painted dream; For yesterday will seek to die When memory has flown, And tomorrow breathe a sigh As does the rose, full grown.

THE DAY THE MAIL COMES IN "Hello, Central. Have you heard from the Northwlestern?" "Yes. Expected sometime this evening. She's been storm-bound all (lay behind Shelter Island." Just how many times (luring the afternoon Central had answered that same question, I did not try to guess; for the steamer had two weeks' mail, and all through the little town people were straining their ears against the north wind to catch her whistle. It was nearly an hour later that my telephone rang again, and out of the night came the operator's cheerful message. "The Northwestern has just docked. Yes, don't mention it. Goodnight." One Hundred Sixty- Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 164 ---------- As a lonely school marm who had expected to leave friends and civiliza-tion nearly two thousand miles behind, I had never ceased to marvel at the warmth of the welcome with which the town had received me. As I put on my wraps and furs, I thought with a little glow of the dozens of firesides whose owners were likewise preparing to brave the storm in response to that message out of the night. Truly the little cheechako school teacher had speedily found her place in the town. When I preached the post office, it was crowded. Behind the tiers of boxes, the postmaster was moving busily. Some had already received letters and were reading them, serenly indifferent to envious glances. A tall, finely built man in a heavy mackinaw sand fur cap eagerly drew a square envelope from, his box. "I knew I'd hear from Billy," he said. "Two winters now he's been at the University and he's never yet missed a boat. No, sir! He's joined a fraternity and he's got his football letter, but he's never yet been too busy to write to his Dad." A pretty native girl slipped shyly into the room, and drawing out a pink envelope, eagerly scanned the contents, her dark face lighting as she read. When she folded the letter her big eyes were luminous and her whole face seemed to glow softly as she stole silently out again into the night. A business man at the writing, shelf, anxiously scanning a pile of official looking letters was suddenly interrupted by the chatter of a group of rosy girls, muffled in bright colored scarfs, who swept into the room like a flock of bright- plumaged snow-birds. They were met immediately with much good natured banter. "Run along, Kids; you won't get any mail tonight." "'Aw, those men o' yours have forgot you long ago. I'll bet they're steppin' Seattle girls right no;w." "You keep still, Charley. I guess you've got nothing to say. You wait around here every boat for a letter from that blonde tourist in California." Aloof from the banter slouched a tall, fair-skinned young fellow with the wide grey eyes of a dreamer. His hat brim was pulled low but it could not hide the longing in his sensitive face. He straightened up with a smile as I spoke to him. "Oh, no, ma'am, I really didn't expect any mail. I just hang around from force of habit, I guess. You see my folks think I'm sort of a black sheep, and my girl thinks I ought to have made my fortune and been back long ago, so I don't get many letters." Then all the wistfulness returned to his face, "But when I see those fellows all reading their mail, seems as if someone ought to write to me sometime." I scanned quickly my own mail. Letters from family, from friends, from classmates, all with the same refrain: "Why will you stay up there, where it is so cold and lonely? It's a shame to think of you wasting your life in that dull place, when there's so much going on 'down here? Won't you give it up and come back ?" I looked once more around the room. They would never understand. I could never make them understand. But here I had found reality. Comedy, romance, yes, and tragedy; they were all encompassed within the four walls of ' that little post office. One Hundred Sixty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 165 ---------- DAY OF DARKNESS Boom! Boom! Boom! Crash! With anxious eyes, the inhabitants of the little town of Seward rushed out of their homes. What was this terrible thundering that seemed to echo ',round the world? Was it the day of judg-ment? Not a person spoke. Far to the west, over the famed Mbunt Lowell, appeared a glow, brilliant, gorgeous, bright red, appearing vivid and more vivid every second. Still the noise kept grumbling on. People looked at each other with fear in their faces, and at length, mystified, went slowly back to their duties. The day passed; and the second; and the third; and still those horrible sounds continued. Vegetation grew sick, turned yellow, shriveled up and died. And still that mysterious fire-cloud hung over the mountain like a marvelous curtain. Vague reports came in of explosions in the mines, but these could not be confirmed. Finally on the third day, a boat was sighted in the harbor. Soon a crowd had assembled on the wharf to meet it-a connection as they thought with the outside world. As it neared the landing, the more sharp-eyed distinguished the form of a fishing boat from Seldovia, filled with ner-vous, excited men. Plainly they had important news to tell. Breathlessly the crowd on the wharf awaited the landing of the schooner. As the boat drew nearer, the fishermen commenced shouting, and the anxious spectators could barely distinguish the words, "volcano," "Katmai," "erupting." Two. hundred miles west of Seward, towering majestically over the In-dian village of Katmai, stands Katmai volcano. Surrounded by lesser vol-canoes, Katmai stands king over the vast area that comprises the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." Little did the people of Kodiak, Wood Island, and Katmai Village realize that the depths of this huge mountain was full of dust, ashes, pumice, and hot, seething lava which was some day to boil over and ruin their little villages. But on the sixth day of June, 1912, Katmai started the awful eruption which has since caused the making of a national monument. During the three days that the people of Seward were wondering and fearing, a mass of ash and pumice, whose volume has been estimated at five cubic miles, was thrown into the a'ir and spread over an area as large as the state of Connecticut, its depth varying from ten inches to ten feet. Ash fell as far as Ketchikan, nine hundred miles away. Do you remember the peculiarly cold, wet weather of 1912? Katmai was responsible. The great quantities of fine dust which winds distributed throughout the world had undoubtedly, scientists say, a profound effect on the weather. Kodiak, one hundred miles distant from the volcano, was buried a foot deep in ashes. People despaired. Could anything live there after this? Surely it would be years before vegetation could grow again. But, as it has been expressed, the ash-fall was the "best thing that ever happened to Kodiak." After an interval of only two years, plant life grew with marvelous rapidity. But at Katmai Village the effect was far different. There you will not find the green- covered hillsides, but wreckage and desolation everywhere. While One Hundred Sixty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 166 ---------- the village of Katmai was not in the direct line of destruction, the flood which followed the eruption completely wiped out the little settlement. Fortunately, at the time of the explosion, the Indians had gone to their fishing grounds. They returned to find their town a mass of quicksand, roofs washed off from some of the houses, others filled to the eaves with pumice stone, and the little church where they had worshiped undisturbed for so many years, completely truined. A river, six miles wide and several feet deep, had left its work of destruction behind it. Strange as it may seem, during those awful sixty hours when Katmai was wreaking her vengeance on the world, not a person lost his life as a result of the explosion. Throughout the three days of intense black-ness, so dense that a lighted match could not be seen in front of you, some , unseen Power held sate the life of every person. Naturally an eruption of such size and encrmity soon drew the attention of the whole world, and accordingly the National Geographic Society that summer sent an expedition under the leadership of George C. Martin to explore this wonderful country. Alaska! They shuddered at the very thoughts of that ice-box. But after arriving at their destination, they found that the winters of Boston ,are much more severe than the winters of Kodiak and that vicinity. After reaching the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, they pitched their tents and prepared to retire for the night. But why weren't they cold? They couldn't understand. Imagine their surprise, on lying down, to find they were uncomfortably hot. But when one of the men, in desperation, thrust his thermometer into the ground and watched it rise to the boiling point they understood, and put their blankets under them to keep cool. The ground on which they were lying was part of a gigantic chemical laboratory: namely, Katmai Valley. On entering the valley, an amazing sight met the eyes of the explorers. As far as they could see, great columns of white smoke rose gracefully into the air from fissures and fumaroles, and yet they were surrounded on all sides by glaciers. Close to the very base of- the glaciers rose the steam, and curled around the mountain wall five miles beyond. The party found Katmai to be the greatest active crater in the world, many times larger than the famed Kilauea. The crater is three miles wide and three thousand, seven hundred feet deep. It is no wonder that the people of Seward wondered and feared during those three days of terrible suspense. But when it was over, and the little town lay covered with ashes, they realized what an unusual and wonderful manifestation of nature they had seen, and were proud to say that they had been through the eruption of Mount Katmai. RUTH F. PEDERSON. One limdlred Sixty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page [167] ---------- A DAY THAT LASTS ALL NIGHT June in Alaska! Was ever such weather or such a country? Words simply cannot paint it. Service came close to it in his poetry, and Curwood has caught a bit of it in prose, but there are no words in the English or any other language that can give an idea of the way this valley looks today; the blue mountain tol:,ped with glaciers that shine like crowns of diamonds; the sun sparkling on the waters of the bay; the waterfalls lacing the mountains like white ribbon. In the States, people are suffocating in the heat, but up here the air is so fresh and 'bracing it makes one feel like squaring his should-ers and tackling all the difficulties in the universe. ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 168 ---------- I have often tried to decide which of all my Alaskan days has been the most interesting, but now I am nearly certain that it was yesterday and last night. I have seen many festivals and celebrations here, but last night's stands out from them all because it is truly and distinctively of the North. June 21, the longest day in the year, is the day on which all Alaska holds carnival. Of course here in the southern part of the territory we cannot see the midnight sun, but that makes no difference in the celebration. So last night at eight o'clock the towns-pe:ple gathered at the foot of Lake Dewey Trail to start on the annual Midnight Sun picnic. It was just a little after sunset in the valley then and the orange glow had not even begun to fade from the peaks as we started up the trail. It was only a short climb to the lake-, and by the time we reached it our guides had a bonfire blazing. For the next two hours everyone amused himself in his own way. Some fished, while others tramped the swamps, braving mosquitoes and gnats for the sake of the great blue violets that grow there. These northern violets are wonderful in size and color but I was disappointed to find that they have almost no fragrance. The children scattered everywhere, playing tag in the: woods and skipping stones over the water. Some even went in wading, altho the :water was ice-cold and Alaskan nghts are always chilly. A group of old timers sat around the fire and swapped yarns of the early days on the trail. As I watched them peace-fully puffing at their pipes it was difficult to realize what hardships they had gone through for the sake of the gold they expected to find. At II o'clock everyone gathered around the fire for supper. It was as nearly dark then as it ever is during these June nights, a dense blue twilight in 'the open spaces, shading to real darkness only under the shadows of the trees. I shall never forget that picture; the firelight on all those faces, with the black wall of the mountain behind and the lake in front, a sort of shining blur in the blue dusk. Somewhere in the shadows a waterfall dashed itself down over the Crocks, 'and the air was heavy with the sweet breath of the marsh-hyacinths that the children had gathered in the swamp below. Just at midnight, when our campfire had burned to a bed of embers, a sudden glow appeared across the lake, and we saw ;a yellow ball of light appa.rently just rising from the water; for the path of its reflection extended across the lake nearly to our feet. There was a moment of silence, then someone exclaimed, "The Midnight Sun, of course!" and the tension was broken with a laugh. A frame covered with yellow cheese cloth, a strong searchlight and a little ingenuity were all that had been used, but the effect, to me at least, was startling. ' A clear tenor voice started the air of Auld Lang Syne, and in a moment the whole company w:as singing. It was the last , touch needed to make the night 'perfect. The crowd separated into small groups after that, and the sky was already growing light in the east when we started on the downward trail. Not yet two o'clock, but on every side of us the birds were waking with gay little calls of greeting. One Hundred Sixty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 169 ---------- Suddenly I felt an impulse to know whether the charm and power of this land was real or whether it held me merely because of its novelty. I turned to the girl who had been my guide and companion since my arrival, pilotng me around the pitfalls which wait the unwary cheechako, and unlocking to me many secrets of the North. I knew that she had graduated from a Southern university, where her charm and ability had opened to her many desirable doors, but in the face of all protests she had quietly returned to her native mountains, insisting that her work and happiness was there. "What is it that makes people stay here," I said. "You, for instance, with your talents and education. Are you really satisfied to use them here?" She stopped on a huge, jutting boulder, and I followed her glance as it swept the valley. Above the mountains, shafts of gold and rose-color were just piercing the purple mist. The little town at our feet looked very peaceful in the early morning light. A. clean 1breeze from the bay brushed our faces. For a few moments she seemed to forget my question; then her clear, dark eyes came back to my face. "What sane person," she said slowly, "would be willing to live in a city after he had seen this ?" - o- VISION FLORIS M. CLARK In the chill greyness of the dawn, With singing hearts, we faced the trail, Thru the hot noon we struggled on; Upward till nerve and strength must fail. A little more; a few steps more; Each snow bank is a milestone past; One rocky slope to struggle o'er And then-the peak at last! The endless moun tains, glacier crowned; The glorious reach of pines and snow- God shows such things to men sometimes, But they must climb the peaks to know. One Hundred Sixty-Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 170 ---------- A PRINCE CHARMING OF THE FAR NORTH When I was a child, I made a trip to Nome, Alaska, on a two-masted schooner. During the long six months of the voyage I had many new and interesting experiences. One of the most anmusing of these happened at one of the Umiak islands, where our boat had gone to escape the ice floes which we had encountered in the open sea. Here we saw our first Eskimos. Shortly after our appearance in their bay they paddled out to us in their skin boats and swarmed over our decks, seemingly as much interested in us as we were in them. Our captain told us that these islands were out of the way of the general run of boats and that prolbably nothing but a few whaling vessel had ever touched there. At any rate, these Eskimos had evidently never before seen a white child, for no sooner had they spied me than I immediately became the object of their curious regard. They crowded about me, a noisy, chattering group. They seemed to be drawing each other's attention to my good points and bad points. They were not content with a perfunctory examination, each striving to out-do the other in discovering some strange new feature. One comely young Eskimo boy, about sixteen I should say, seemed to have taken a particular fancy to me and made known t6 us by signs that he intended to bring me a pair of moccasins, or "mukluks," as they call them. But alas! This young boy, in making his appraisal of me had not noticed the size of my feet. He, no doubt, thought that I would conform to the proper proportions of an Eskimo child, and Eskimos have very small hands and feet. Now, as a white person, I have never been especially noted for my big feet, but according to the Eskimo ideal I was a complete failure. The boy proudly brought his "mukluks" to me. They were made of reindeer skin and were a wonderful product of the clever fingers of the maker. After we had exclaimed over their beauty, he insisted on trying them on my feet himself. Unexpected denouement! They were too small! Far too small ! I prefer to state it that way, altho I know the Eskimo boy thought my feet were too large. We could not understand a word which he said, but nevertheless he had no difficulty in making known his extreme disgust. He also succeeded in showing me just how much too large my feet were. His idol was shattered, and while I had no very great desire to play Cinderella to an Eskimo prince, still I would like to have had those moccasins, even if I could not wear them. But my Eskimo proved to be an "Indian giver," for as soon as he had convinced himself that I could not possibly wear the "mukluks," he stalked off with them, and the last I saw of him he was paddling for shore as fast as he could go. No dou;t he already h'ad in mind some dark-skinned Eskimo maiden whose feet were worthy of his gift. MRS. LAURA BERKELEY.

W\Vhile mountain peaks shine in the distance, but whiter and more lofty are the mountain summits which memory sees, towering far to the northland. Pleasant faces and friendly greetings meet me on every side, but always in my heart is a yearning for the hearty hand-clasp of a com;rade of the North. F r that is the penalty which Alaska sets on all who, having once known her spell, wander from her borders. Their path-ways may lead them to the ends of the earth, ut in their hearts shall be a loneliness and longing which shall never be stilled until they have turned their faces again toward the North: toward the green shores and snow-crowned mountains of the Great Country.

BAKER EXCURSION Once a year the student body of Bellingham State Normal School goes on a pilgrimage to Mt. Kulshan, The Great White Watcher. As is the custom of all earnest pilgrims, the Normal professors and students start with the rising sun in a caravan of large Hudsons, the muffled roar of whose mighty engines stirs an accompanying echo of pulsating thirobs in the hearts of the passengers. Three hours later a hundred or more Normalites start the long upward journey, plodding on and on through solemn forests which gently sob in sympathy with the ever swelling drone of myriads of waterfalls. By four o'clock, almost seven hours later, everyone is in Camp Helio-trope, which is eleven miles frem Glacier and a mile above sea level. Through means of a well-organized staff, everyone is put to work and within three hours, camp sites have been chosen, fires built, countless pails of water brought from a turbulent glacial stream, supper cooked and served, utensils washed, beds made, firewood piled up, footgear changed, wet clothes or shoes drying by the several camp fires, and everyone "comfy-like." Then, O, those enchanting, lingering hours of sunset, dusk, and campfire! A blood-red sun plunging deep, deep into the Pacific, a sky all afire, a snow-cap bathed in a western glow, a glacier bejeweled under a moon, a roar of cataracts, a moan of :a forest, a great crackling campfire, a sound of music, voices and laughter, a song-"Nearer, My God, To Thee," and taps, a heap of coals, and blackness, blackness all about, with the stars, the moon, and the Great White Watcher hovering overhead. Four o'clock in the morning everyone is "rolling out" to the call of reveille on a bugle. By six o'clock everyone has eaten; secured his frugal lunch of graham crackers, raisins, dried prunes, chocolate bars, cheese, and possibly an orange; has had his shoes and equipment inspected; has fallen in line; has received orders of how to conduct himself on the climb; has painted, and is off with every cell of his body atingle. Up, up, up they go, oh, how slowly, but always going, all in step with the slow chant of "lift your foot, step, place, or rest." Scouts are ahead, always within sight of the line, picking the trail around yawning crevasses, across snow-bridges, along rocky ridges, and across steep, icy slopes where an ice 'axe must be used to cut steps, and possibly they have to descend a crevasse and cut steps up the other side and through a cornice of snow or ice which generally overhangs the upper side of a crevasse. One Hundred Seventy- Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 176 ---------- At four o'clock the weary but determined line has reached the highest part of the great flat dome. For some five or ten minutes they look off into space, momentarily oblivious of the freezing gale, in their wonder and awe. There they are more than two miles up in the air tugged by icy blasts a sheer droop of a mile only a few feet away with clouds scudding past far below, intermittently blotting out and revealing a wilderness of mountains and snow-capped peaks, endless forests, glaciers, rivers, and lakes. To the west is the great rolling Pacific Ocean. Then these pilgrims, feeling O, so insignificant, but yet somehow nobler, for they have seen and felt a little of that something that people call God, turn their backs and leave it all behind, until the next year when the snows start to melt and that Something calls them back again.

RICE. -0-- One Hundred Seventy-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 177 ---------- One Hundred Seventy-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 178 ---------- HANNEGAN PASS HIKE About sixty ,enthusiastic students climbed into stages in front of the Normal Dormitory one Friday afternoon 1ate last July. Three and one-half hours later we clambered down from our seats in a different world, yet only fifty miles from school. We were at Shuksan, rightly called by the road builders, Mosquito Camp. We snatched our luggage and fled up the trail to a mosquitoless camp. At a point half a mile up the trail a creek made a splendid cooking camp and there a hearty supper was prepared. We were entirely willing to eat everything in sight and looked interestedly at one fat packhorse, but Mr. Bond gasped and informed us that we had better leave a little for breakfast. Back in our blankets we slept on heaps of spongy moss and were up early next morning and on cur trail up to Hannegan Pass. The trail led through swamp, across creeks, through stretches -of silent firs, and beds of lilies shoulder high. All the while we heard the roar of the Ruth 'Creek, which the trail followed, and, to the south and west we could see waterfalls over a thousand feet in height. Farther on we crossed a wide expanse of snow which had slipped from the mountain above and had carried rocks and great trees 'with it,ti ll it had even dammed Ruth Creek. It was the first avalanche many of us had sleen and we stopped to fix the pictures of it in our memory. As we left the avalanche, some stopped to get an ice-cold drink from the creek flowing beneath the snow. The trail grew steeper and steeper on the hillside mountain flowers made their apearance; monkeyflowers, bluelips. and vellow deer-tongues; all helped to make the meadows a vast flower garden. We crossed a yellow meadow, passed through a belt of timber, and arrived at our destination. A little lake in the Pass had two outlets. One drained to the east into Chilliwack Lake and Canada, and the other to the west into Bellingham Bay, through the Nooksack River. Beyond Ruth Creek, Ruth M1Vountain towered 6,ooo feet above sea level southeast of us and we could see through a gap the jagged pile of shale and ice that is called Mount Shuksan. After dinner, we climbed Goat Mountain and saw our first ptarmigan. We spent an hour on top and returned to camp and supper. We loafed, sang, and told stories underneath a moon that looked as though we could touch it from the tall tree over the camp. The distant snowfields gleamed softly in the moonlight: the roar of snow- fed torrents came to our ears, while the fire snapped and smoked merrily and the cool fresh air finally persuaded us to rest. Before we stumbled to our blankets, Mr. Coughlin had us sing the Mountaineer Evening Song. One Hundred Seventy-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 179 ---------- Next morning, Ruth Mountain was climbed and when dinner time came it was a tired group that tried to eat everything in sight. Packhorses were then loaded and we started the ten-mile hike to Shuksan. The trail down seemed about half as long as the trail up, and we reached Mosquito Camp before seven o'clock, where we were joyfully welcomed by mosquitos and stage drivers. Eleven o'clock that night found us back at school hunting for hot water, soap and food. Our memories of the trip are linked with the thoughts of three teachers who made the trip not only possible but a success. There may be other hikes, but we who have been on trips such as Han-negan Pass, will always feel something missing. A place will be vacant in our hearts and by the campfire that no other can fill. We can only hope for those here this next summer as many happy and successful hikes as we can remember. -R. T.

History, they say, repeats itself, and in the case of the Philos, it is each year repeated more loudly. The club beg:an its twenty-third year with vim, each old member on the look-out for live prospective members. In almost any corner of the hall between classes, just such conversations as this ensued: "Who did you say? What can she do?" "Oh," came the reply, "She can sing, play the violin, and really her readings are wonderful." "All right,' 'was the response. "I'll put her name before the membership committee." As a result, the students admit-ted to the club that first quarter had abilities similar to the ones above men- tioned. Initiation was the first main event of the season and such weird intricacies as the candidates were forced to go through! However, they appeared at school the following day with the Philo brand on their foreheads and smiles on their faces, proud of the fact that they were Philos in spite of those lame muscles and sore joints. An event toward which all Philos looked forward was the Annual Birth-day party given at the home of Mr. 'and Mrs. Philippi in November. It re-sembled a "family reunion," for all the former members of the club who found it possible to attend, gathered around the fireplace of "Mother" and "Father" Philippi. Imprcmptu speeches were demanded, giving the old members an opportunity to relate their experiences since leaving school. According; to custom, the Philo Game was played throughout the evening. Some of our One Hundred Eighty Two ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 183 ---------- members are becoming expert at this game for it was only after a long, difficult fight that the honors were given finally to Marguerite Saddler, while Herbert Cederberg received the consolation prize. Another important social event took place at the Pheasant Tea Rooms, February 17, in the form of an Annual Banquet. The room was appropriately decorated in the Philo "Green and White." the color scheme being carried out in the place cards and favors. Herbert Cederberg, our capable president, acted as toastmaster and once more the old members were called upon to "give an account of themselves." The program was exceedingly educative as well as entertaining, especially to the ladies present, (both married and unmarried) for Mrs. Carver passed on that valuable information, "How to Cook and Keep a Husband." We well know that Mrs. Carver is especially qualified to discuss such a subject. There were several other interesting numbers on the program, after which the members, both new and old, were given an opportunity to get acquainted. All are looking forward with keen anticipation to next year's banquet. The last main event of the season will take place at Lake Whatcom in the form of a week-end party. This is to take place in the near future. The old members have pleasant memories of those good times last year and the new members have heard enough about them to be anxiously awaiting the eventful days to arrive. However, all has not been "play" for there is also a serious side to the club. Every two weeks on Thursday evening the club meets for literary and business purposes. These meetings are always educational and informational. Practice in parliamentary drill, debate, music and readings constitute the pro-grams and we are proud to say that we have real talent along these lines. Often the lives of such men as George Washington, Lincoln, Vachel Lindsey and others are studied. This year the club over- stepped its literary bounda-ries and accepted the Thespians' challenge to a game of basketball between the boys and girls of the two clubs. The Philo girls upheld the long end of the score, but the Thespian boys took home the laurels. The "calm after the storm" took place in the cafeteria and both clubs went home perfectly satis-fied because of the true sportsmanship shown. The Philos are proud to claim as members of their organization three young men, Maurice Thomas, Guy Bond and MNr. Rankin, who took prominent parts in helping to win the Inter-Normal Basketball championship for our school. One of its number, Bob Tunstall, made the debating team, and sev-eral of the girls made the Freshman and Sophomore basketball teams; in fact seven out of eleven on the Sophomore team were Philos. When we stop to think about it, there is not a single school activity with which some Philo is not connected. And now we must close another chapter of Philo life, but do not think we have finished. The Philos will never be finished for they are "alive"- Yesterday, Today, and-Forever ! One Hundred Eighty-Three ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 184 ---------- I I THESPIANS Dramatically speaking, the first event of the school year was the fall try-out. Who lives that does not quake at the thought of trying to impress solemn-faced judges with one's supposed talent. This is followed by the ordeal of waiting for the final decision and the nervous excitement of searching through the names given in the list of lucky ones. In the event that one is successful, one looks again, once, twice, three times, to be sure. Then with a sigh of relief and satisfaction one experiences the delight of being a Thes-pian once and for ,all. The fall initiation will be remembered by a large group of, at that time, scared though happy looking Thespians. As the details of said initiation are a deep, dark secret, we can just say that the banquet which followed closed a most thrilling and enjoyable evening. One Hundred Eighty-Four ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 185 ---------- Mr. Horace Rahskopf of the Expression Deparment, and sponsor of our club, lent his valuable time and assistance in our work this year. The following plays were preseinted : "The Great American Family," "The Dear Departed," "Miss Civilization," and "Riders to the Sea," the last mentioned being given also in assembly. The happiest event of the year was our banquet. February 22 has been made the permanent date for the Thespian Annual Banquet. This year it was held at the Pheasant Tea Rooms, and decorations suitable- for George Wash-ington's birthday anniversary, added much to the brightness and happiness of the occasion. Everyone left convinced that never had he enjoyed a more de-lightful evening. At the close of the spring quarter, the Thespian Dramatic club will present its annual public recital. As this book goes to press, the play has not yet been selected, but as it is to be a Thespian production, its quality is assured. We close with a toast-"To all Thespians-Past, Present, and Future." -o- One Hundred Eighty-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 186 ---------- RURAL LIFE CLUB Those of us who have been fortunate eniougli to have our names listed among the members of the Rural Life Club feel that we have gained much which we could not have otherwise secured and which will be of lasting benefit in all organized activities, community and social affairs. Recognizing the fact that the world judges by results, the club has aimed to secure results not only in immediate pleasure but that will fulfill, as well, the remote aims incorporated in the constitution. 4 The regular meetings are devoted to programs consisting of music, plays, debate, readings, the discussion of problems of current importance, and of community singing. No member could ever forget our club songs and the old familiar "get acquainted" song after having participated in singing them. A portion of each program is devoted to parliamentary study, followed by the practice of the same. Parent Teachers' Associations have been organized and. meetings conducted with members serving as officers or patrons, and ques-tions which might arise in connection with such an organization discussed and answered. The social side has not been neglected. Many happy play-times have been enjoyed together, in the gymnasium, our regular club room and elsewhere. These activities consist of: October 31-Hallowe'en party in gymnasium. December 21-Christmas party in room 308. February 15-Valentine party in room 308. March ..-.A nnual Banquet, Pheasant Tea Room. May ......- Annual Picnic and farewell meeting. One Hundred Eighty-Six ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 187 ---------- The club has aimed to uphold the standards for which it was originally organized-chiefly the discussion of land participation in problems pertain-ing to rural and community life. These are social as well as intellectual. The membership is limited but well chosen. Each individual is an active member contributing in some way two or more times each quarter. The sponsors are: MISS KEELER MR. HECKMAN AMR. BROCKMAN MR. COUGHLIN (deceased) While this has been one of the happiest and most successful years of the club's history, it has also been the saddest. We mourn the loss of our beloved sponsor, Mr. John Vincent Coughlin, who answered the call of the Grim Reap-er in January. We cannot close the annals of the year without paying tribute to the man who was ever ready to advise, assist and lead in every good way; whose usefulness commanded unselfish service from others; whose cheerfulness begot cheerfulness, and whose devotion will ever be an inspiration to those who have been privileged to work with him. / -~ '.- One Hundred Eighty-Seven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 188 ---------- e I DRAMA CLUB OFF ICERS ROBERT CAULKINS ................... ........ ... ............. ........ President GERTRUDE MORGANTHALER .......................... Vice-President M AUDE W ITHERS ..................................... ................... Secretary VICTOR H. HOPPPE .....---------.............................. Director of Pla s The Drama Club of the B. S. N. S. was organized February 12, 1923, having as the faculty advisory board the following members: Mr. V. H. Hoppe, chairman; Mrs. Vaughan, and Mr. J. F. Caskey. The passing of the class play may at first seem regrettable. True, it is an old-time institution that has become dear to the students, but even things long cherished must give way to those which promise greater value for the time expended. In this case the aim is for more skilled action and a higher standard of production. During the year the dramatic department of the Normal has given con-siderable study to the problem of school plays, with the result that this club shall take over the productions formerly given by the various classes. The club will draw its membership from the entire student body, through the usual system of try-outs. These inter-club try-outs will be the means of determining the casts for the various plays to be presented. Each quarter, one main play of high standard will be produced. One Hundred Eighty-Eight ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 189 ---------- Students desiring to make a special study along these lines will, if show-ing sufficient talent and aptitude, be able to do continuous and progressive work during their entire Normal training. Much of the best literature of today, as well as that of days past, comes to us in the form of the drama. It is vitally necessary that training of su-perior merit be carried on along these lines, so that student-actors may more faithfully interpret the messages which our present-day dramatists are cre-ating. The membership is limited to fifty students, and to secure an appointment to the club roll will be considered not only a position of high educational value, but also one of honor in the student body. -0- One Hundred Eighty- Nine ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 190 ---------- -,a IE~ Y.

When school opened last fall she returned to graduate and was then elected president of the Y. W. C. A. Both her faithfulness and earnest-ness will be remembered by the many fortunate ones who have been in contact with her. During the summer quarter of 1922, the Y. W. C. A. was under the fadmnistration of Vivienne Gunderson. A great deal of credit should be given to her for the splendid work .which she dlid and the spirit of friendliness and co-operation which she always showed toward everyone. The Meeting's Committee has dlone excellent work in arranging the Thursday programs, in which we have heard a number of especially gifted speakers. Many are or have been missionaries in foreign lands and have gripped us with their stories of the power of Christianity. Among the most prominent speakers are Miss Heller, Y. W. C. A. Traveling Secretary; Mr. Hartlett, National Student Volunteer Secretary; Mrs. Powlison, recently in work in Smyrna; Miss Bergman, missicnary from Korea, and Mr. Davis, Secretary of South America Inland Mission. Mrs. Campbell, of Seattle was again joyfully welcomed to inspire us with her messages and magnetic per-sonality. She was the speaker at the annual Bible Institute which was held January I Ith to the 14th, with six addresses. Nine Bible classes have been organized under the capable leadership, of Mrs. George McL. Miller, Miss Sperry, Miss Woodard, Mrs. Vaughan, Mrs. Gunderson, and Miss Keeler. The book of Genesis has been studied during the winter months. More than two hundred have been enrolled in the Bible classes with an average attendance of one hundred fifty. At the beginning of the school year, bouquets were given to the new girls with greetings from the Y. Wi. C. A. Narcissi were grown and taken to those who were ill. The girls have also met the trains and boats at the opening of each quarter. During the fall quarter a pleasing social event was given by the Y. V. C. A. girls to the faculty and the students of the Normal. This was held in the beautiful drawing room of Edens Hall, which was richly decorated for the occasion. At this same time a very enjoyable organ recital was given by Mrs. Mathes to which all girls of the school were invited. In the month of December, Dr. Mathes gave a most impressive lecture on his experiences in the World War. It was well 'worth hearing and many interesting as well as instructive facts will long be remembered. The Y. W. C. A. has been an inspiration for many girls to continue the work and many of the girls are in far away countries doing missionary work. Among those who have left from this Normal are: INDIA-Emma Rexroth. Abbie Johnson Smith, who died in 1920o. Mary Campbell.

My Dear, You have asked me what one thing during my year at Normal has given me greatest pleasure-let me tell you a story and see if you can guess. Last fall, when I was registering, I met a lady who wore a strange ring -it attracted me-not an ordinary signet ring, this, but a tiny gold palette. I did not know then, but imagine my happiness later when I learned that, not only Miss Druse, but I. too, could wear the gold palette. I had been voted into the Sudio Art Club. From that time on, the third floor of the North Wing was my rendezvous. For, you see, our club is of the opinion tha't work which affords pleasure is much better than merely aimless play. And so we spend two evenings each month in doing some kind of art work. First, we did landscapes-some in charcoal, some in pencil, others in water color and still more in cut paper. Really, my dear, I wish you could have come to our Mid-Winter Exhibit! It was well worth seeing ("if I do say it shouldn't," One Hundred Ninety-Three _ _1___ r~iiEl-_rul*ej~i~-~.a_ r* -~~p~-sasr 1 B~t~h~~ ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 194 ---------- I as old Mrs. Gray used to say). And the Spring Exhibit was even better-the student work from the whole department just more than filled all the rooms. And People! We certainly served 'tea to many those days. Not only did we work with our hands, but also with our minds. A study of artists and various phases of art was made by reports on reference reading each meeting. This work partly answered for the course in History and Appreciation of Art, which so many of us wanted, but could no't seem to wedge in between requirements. Did we work all the time? Believe me, no! You remember I told you about the midnight luncheon honoring the November graduates. And our wonderful banquet in the spring! And when I have lots of 'time I'll tell you about the funny stunts at January initiation. Perhaps you know some of the girls who were officers-at least you've heard of them: QUARTERS Presidcl t Vice Presidenit Secretary Treasurer Now, can you ments ?

S. N. S. have not failed to notice in their midst 'a group of radiant, happy, people who looked as if at any minute they might jump behind a sled, crack a whip, and call "mush" to a team of dogs as they started on a journey over the frozen winter trails of northern Alaska. Bonded together by a mutual love for the Northland these "old timers," early in the year, organized themselves into the exclusively Alaskan club known as the "Sourdoughs." Requirements for membership were made quite liberal, the only condition being that the candi-date must have set foot on Alaskan soil. Officers were elected as follows, these having retained their positions throughout the year: President-Floris Clark. Secretary-Frances Hillary Treasurer 'and Reporter--Norah Matson The aims of the club have been to stimulate interest in this northern territory, and incidentally to give the members a good time socially. We hope our fellow students and faculty members have pardoned us for the times we have lauded the merits of this land until our hearers wished that such a country had never existed. May we now th'ank them for their courteous attention? So much of erroneous material is seen concerning Alaska that we have labored diligently to correct false impressions. The first social event of the year was the banquet held at the Hotel Leopold on the Saturday preceding Hallowe'en. The table was tastefully One Hundred Ninety-Five ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 196 ---------- decorated in colors of the season, handmade place cards adding the artistic finish. President and Mrs. Waldo were honor guests on this occasion. In the second quarter a party was held at the home of Mrs. Berkeley, which was enjoyed by a large number of the members. The third quarter brought an evening at Mr. Kolstad's cabin on Lake Whatcom. Good timne? Why, of course, always when we go there! Both faculty members and students are included in the membership as mlay lbe seen by the following list, the "real Alaskans" have been listed first: Mrs. Adele L. Bunting, Skagway. Floris M.

I wish scme of those people could have seen us "down there" this past year. The machines were kept humming by the girls in the sewing classes from eight until almost five every dlay. The result was, with the untiring ,and inspiring help of Miss Longley, some of those good-looking dresses and skirts you saw and admired in the halls. The girls of the cooking class must have believed the adage, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach," for the luncheons they l:repared and served would have tempted and satisfied any man- tempted him by their daintiness and satisfied him by their correct calorie content. One 1Hundred Ninety- Seven ____IU~~_ ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 198 ---------- If anyone thought we had time to write lesson plans during Dietetics, I. wish he could have seen us chasing those elusive enzymes, under the di-rection of Miss Countryman, and measuring hundred calorie portions and-but I mustn't give away all our secrets. Just take the course and see for yourself how fascinating it is-and how much time you have to waste! "From point B draw a line AC locating point M by- " The hour never seemed long enough in Pattern Drafting to accomplish all we planned to do. The paper blouses and dresses were even better than the patterns we could buy because, you see, we discovered we were not all perfect, and those pat-terns fitted us where we weren't, as well as where we were. How much more confident we felt this spring in selecting the materials for our spring dresses, , after our courses in Textiles! All those hours seemed repaid in a moment. As we look ahead and plan our homes, what a blessing our course in House-hold Management is to us. We've learned how to make dollars stretch and 1 expand by proper distribution; we've learned how to make those future homes attractive, economical, and sanitary. After all this, you shouldn't need further proof that we were busy "down there," but here is the crowning proof: We didn't have time for one party in either the fall or winter quarter. The wonderful spring weather proved too much for us, however, and we decided to have a party on Friday, the 13th. \What clay could be more auspicious! Of course, we had a good time-we always do. The party proved so much fun, we planned a picnic, which we had later in the spring. The food? Just 'ask anyone who was there if the girls of the Home Economics department can cook!

The Women's Athletic Association was organized in September, 1922. Its purpose is to promote high physical efficiency among women of the Normal School, to foster college spirit by developing inter-class athletics, to provide recognition for athletic ability, and to foster good citizenship. Membership is open to all under-graduate women in the school who have obtained at least a "C" grade in all classes and have earned the required one hundred points. These points may be earned under four different heads: Sports, health, general, and athletics. A definite number of points must be earned each quarter in order to retain membership in the association and to keep up the interest. It is hoped that girls going out into their own schools will organize girls' athletic associations in high schools and the upper grades, having in view the same ideals and purposes as our own association with slight varia-tions in the constitutions to suit the needs of the girls in the community. The association plans to put on at least one good show each year. The first of these was given last February. The main feature was a minstrel show, with three lesser numbers. Judging from the size of the crowd and the remarks heard the following week, the show was a huge success. The Association has enjoyed many good times and since the fine weather began, long hikes with lunch in the open. Several hikes were taken during the fall, one of these was a hike to Lake Padden followed by a breakfast of ham, eggs, fruit, and coffee, then a hike back in time for church. The Association is as yet in its infancy with a membership of about thirty. It has already many extensive plans for the future and entertains hopes of becoming one of the foremost clubs of the school. Three cheers for Miss Long, our organizer and sponsor! No club ever had a more worthy or helpful leader than she has proved herself to be at all times. She holds a very warm place in the heart of every W. A. A. girl.

This club is sponsored by Mr. Carver, our athletic director and coach. To become a member of this club, it is neessary for the men engaged in athletics to gain a letter in one of the following competitive sports: Football, track, basketball, and baseball. The purpose of the Club is to develop a higher standard of athletics and to increase the academic efficiency of the athlete. Mr. Carver and those young men who have, during the past year, attained high standards in athletics, and who are interested in the continuation of these standards, have felt it advisable and necessary to organize a club wherein they could work with these ideas. This organization will do much to attract that type of men who are most desirable in the carrying out of the educational work of our land. No doubt it will also help to popularize (our school and make it one among the leading Teachers' Colleges of America.

A banquet was given in honor of both the basketball teams at the Pheasant. We may also mention the Hallowe'en Dancing Party, the supper at Fairhaven Park, and several hikes which can be added to our social calendar. So far, only the pleasant side has come to view, but we, as members of q the Newman Club (this may well apply to our whole school) have keenly felt the loss through the death of our honorary member, Mr. J. V. Coughlin, who took such a great interest in our club and its activities. Many plans are being made for the coming months, among which are week-end parties, hikes, beach suppers and the like. Everyone of us greatly appreciates the privilege of being brought closer together in such a social way.

As sometimes happens at Normal, no old members had returned at the beginning of the year to take up the club activities. From the Story Telling class came a few girls who formed the new Story Telling Club. The club thrived and grew; a new name "Leowyrhta" was given to it; and a new constitution was adopted. Under the sponsorship of Miss Sperry, Miss Montgomery and Miss Ja-cobs, who conscientiously directed the club movements, the society has become recognized as a prominent organization of the Normal. The aim of our club, which is primarily to tell stories, has been well car-ried out in this year's work. Talented members have been sent to neighboring juvenile libraries, to P. T. A. meetings, school functions and similar places -much to the delight of the various audiences. At times the club extension department has shown near-panics by the many calls coming in for the de-lightful entertainers. The club meetings were made especially interesting to the members by programs comprised of types of stories and given by different groups. Music and dancing were included in some of the programs. It is very obvious that the Leowyrhta will prosper and develope as it has in the past year and for this we shall also have to thank our club officers who are: M RS.

When we first arrived and were conducted up the stairs, and down the corrido'rs to a room with two "vanishing" beds, we were rather meek and quiet, but by the end of the first week we were less quiet, and 'at the end of the second we were sufficiently acquainted to have crowds gathering in one room or in the Lobby, and here they still gather. It is to be feared that there is too much noise at times ncw, but who can live without having a hilarious time occasionally? There have been many social affairs in the hall, among them the Hal-lowe'en party with confetti "'n everything." Perhaps the most be :utiful party was the colonial costume 1party, when the birthdays of three famous people were-George Washington's, Miss Meek's, and Miss Shuey's. W\V are looking forward to a boat trip dlown Lake Whatcom just I:efore the end of the quarter, and we will also enjoy many more hikes. Many lasting friendships have been made, and many characters have been broadened by life in Edens Hall.

Shadows of witches and ghosts flitted across the indistinct walls. An atmosphere of mysterious exaltation was created by those who had just survived the preternatural secrecies of the ini-tiation. Suddenly the room became lighted, changing it into the golden glow of Hallowe'en merriment. The president, Edna Carnine, gave her address welcoming the new Aletheian members-and cur activities for the year had begun. Silently the wisdom of our old, old owl has led us, step by step, into the realms of lofty ideals and high ambitions. Aletheia has always stood for all that is great in every art, and our sympathy and appreciation extends to every corner of the globe. Many of the programs have consisted of the thor- . ough study of some vital problems confronting America today, such as the Negro problem, by Gladys Sturman; America's Stand on World Peace, by Agnes Miles; and Americanization, by Rebecca Arnell. Other countries have been included on our programs, such as the Political Situation in Ireland, by Vivienne Croxfo'rd; Armenia's Political History, by Betty Lyman; Mussoline, the Leader of the Fascisti, by Emma Larson ; Miss Longley's talk on Hawaii, and the Problem of the Turks, by Sylvia Barret. The arts have not been neglected. Programs have included a study of Opera, Turkish Rugs, and the Little Theatre Movement. The observations of the constellations on clear nights has been another fascinating study. One of the biggest events of the club this year was the annual banquet held February 24, at the Leopold Hotel. The floral decorations of pink and white tulips hamonized beautifully with the rose and gray motif of the table. Sparkling wit and humor predominated, as each merry toast was given. The - extreme simplicity and sincerity of Miss Woodard's address on the Function of Woman's Clubs, will linger long in the memories of those present. Aletheia wishes to express her deep gratitude for the patient and endless devotion Miss Woodard has shown to the club. Aletheia has the honor of having in her midst many of the Normal's prominent women. The club is proud to claim Rebecca ,Arnell as one of its members. Both the club and the school are very much indebted to her for the important part she played in winning for us the never-to-be-lost Allison cup. She is also a member of the Board of Control, and vice-president of the Y. W. C. A. Two other members of Aletheia have served as presidents of the Y. W. C. A. this year-Vivienne Croxford and Ruth Pederson. Mention should be made of the play that Margaret Risser wrote for us during Good English week. The play was very successfully presented in the auditorium, and did much for the promotion of good English. Mildred Stout, of the debate team, is another faithful, loyal Aletheian. That the members of Aletheia are versa-tile in their talents is shown by the fact that Edith Parks carried off the prize for the Klipsun cover design. Aletheia as a whole will ever cherish, not only now, but in years to come, the thoughtfulness of Magdalene Larsen in presenting to the club, the Aleth-eian Owl, our symbol of Life, Purity and Truth.

In the moon, when all things, lyausing Turn for one last look at sulmmer, When the smoke from burning forests Veils in blue the hills and ocean, To the Great Lodge by the water Came a little band of maidens Of the tribe of Ohiyesa. Far away their 1paths had led them Through the long hot days of summer, But the ties had not been severed Which had bound their hearts together. Scarcely were their greetings finished When they met in solemn council, In the lodge of their wise leader, Sponser from the tribe of Wallace. Long they sat in talk together, For a new chief must be chosen, And new members must be welcomed With all rites and ceremonies. Each must prove both brave and loyal E'er she wore the eagle's feather, E'er she could be called "The Winner." Many times the maids assembled, In the cold, still nights of winter; Miany councils held together, Gaining every night new knowledge, Strengthening bonds of love and friendship. Many things they. learned together Of the lands across the ocean, Of strange languages and peoples, And the records they had written. Now were added to their number Two called Honorary Members, Helpful friends and kindly critics, One from out the tribe of Osborne One from out the tribe of Roberts, And the evenings round the campfire Were the brighter for their presence. Two Hundred Nine I - ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 210 ---------- When the moon of lighted candles Stcle across the snowy campus, All the maidens, happy-hearted Gathered 'round a shining fir-tree. On whose tinsel-laden branches Found they gifts for one another. And each tssue-covered package Caused a merrier peal of laughter. Later, when the pussy willows Showed their silver tips on Sehome, Once again the maidens gathered, This time 'neath the Osborne totem, Where with gayety and laughter Passed another happy evening. Green were leaf-buds on the hillside When to all the elder members Were sent summons to a council, The Grand Council, held each twelve moons. Some of them obeyed the summons, Others messages of greeting Sent, to show they still were loyal, Show their hearts were ever faithful, And around the council embers One by one they were remembered, While the singers made sweet music And the wise ones told last glories Of the tribe, and future triumphs. Each one felt a strain of sadness At the thought of bonds soon broken, At the thought of friends departing, But the long trail of the future Shows the lodge each year grown stronger, Shows unsevered ties of friendship; And each year shall bind more closely In the pledge, "Be Brave, be loyal," All who wear the eagles' feather. All the tribe of Ohiyesa. Two HIundred Ten I ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 211 ---------- BUSINESS GIRLS' LEAGUE The Business Girls' League was organized by Miss Exean Woodard, Dean of Women, in 1916. The League has no officers and no dues. It is merely a group of young women employed in some form of remunerative labor who meet in open forum from time to time and discuss problems of mutual interest. At one of the most successful mee'tings of the current year, the Business Girl's budget was discussed as follows: How should a Business Girl in B. S. N. S. invest her spending money, spring quarter : a. If she has only $25.00 (above room and board). b. If she has only $50.oo. c. If she has less than $25.00. The topic of another interesting program was "How shall a Business Girl invest her 24 hours per day ?" Two H-lundred Eleven ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 212 ---------- This ambitious group of young women turns to varied and interesting forms of employment in order to help defray expenses.

Clerks ........................................ -----47 Naturally, the members of the Business Girls' League lead, very busy lives. Holding down two jobs at once requires an accurate time .budget as well as expense budget, therefore, one of the chief problems of the League * is to, provide opportunities for 'the cultivation of friendships and the promotion of wholesome recreation. For five years the annual League Banquet has outranked all other stu-dent banquets in point of numbers. The fifth annual banquet was held March 24th in the Home Economics Dining Room with 70 Leaguers in attendance. Ellen Gustafson, one of the members, acting as cateress, displayed remarkable skill in the art of cookery. Miss Catherine Smith, as chairman of the decorating committee, carried out the Easter motif in place cards, table decorations and window draperies. The color scheme of yellow and white, and an interesting centerpiece repre-senting a large easter egg, drawn by fluffy yellow chicks, added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The name of the native state being given in response to roll call, the interesting fact was discovered that the business girls represent many states of the union, sa well as foreign countries. From as far south as Maryland and Tennessee; as far east as Michigan and Ohio; from the plains of Minne-sota and the Dakotas, from California, Canada and Alaska they come. Two from Sweden, two from Norway, three from Canada, two from England and five from Alaska, the Business Girls have come to the Northwest either to make their homes or to receive training for the profession of teaching.

Overcomers are the Business Girls. -0- A SONG OF LIFE At dawning, when the sun blinks through the doorway And nestles in the corners of your room You feel a sense of thrill-a note of laughter That banishes all thought of care and gloom. You hear a robin on your window-ledge a-chirping, ,A child's glad echo wafted up from streets below, A silver maple blowing in the wind-hush, And waters made with waves of crested snow. In every nook, Dame Nature heralds gladness, While glints of sunshine conquer weary strife, Until 'we learn to weave our dreams of efforts, And make a smile our daily song of Life. -ADALINE LA ROUCHE. Two Hundred Thirteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 214 ---------- I I YOUNG HOUSEKEEPERS The first group of Young Housekeepcrs of the Bellingham State Normal School were called together in 1916 by Miss VWoodard, Dean of Women. This group is largely made up of young women who live so near Bellingham that they are enabled to spend many week ends in their own homes. Realizing. that lbecause of this, these students missed many of the social functions and other activities of school life, Miss \Voodard gathered this group together to promote friendship and sociability, to discuss problems peculiar to the group, and, in general, to strengthen the bond between the school and this relatively large group of the student body: Of necessity, the meetings cannot be frequent, but they are marked with earnestness and keen interest. Two Hundred Fourteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 215 ---------- At the beginning of the year, at one program the topic discussed in open forum was "-ow to Secure a Well Balanced Meal" emphasizing the value of variety in foods, and naming simple, wholesome dishes that provide the necessary elements. Each little "family" was provided with a chart setting forth: Ist, the proper selection of foods; 2nd, the amount of calories required; 3rd, a comprehensive list of foods with caloric values, and the relative expense. The great event of the year was the mid-winter picnic to which each of the 75 Young Housekeepers responded to roll call by giving the name of her birthplace.

MacDowell Cello and piano by Zetta Squire and Lenore Henspeter A number of Young Housekeepers have been prominent in school ac-tivities during the year. Edna Anderson, a member of the Girls' Quartette, Zetta Squire, cellist, and Rosa Addington, reader, have furnished entertain-ment to many civic organizations in this jity and elsewhere. Edith Parks, another Young Housekeetper, won the Klipsun prize for the best cover design. Mildred Anderson and Christina Peterson helped to make this a banner year in (lelbate for the B. S. N. S. Two lm11111red Fifteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 216 ---------- I I THE ALKISIAHS The following paragraph is an extract from the first Messenger ever published (1899) on file in the library: "A telephone conversation between two Normal students: " 'Main 161, please.' " 'Hello, Edith-So you want to know about our Literary So-ciety, the Alcott? Of course, I will tell you the officers-Miss Carrie Risedorph, president; Miss Marie Ames, vice-president; Miss Bertha Kale, secretary; Miss Mamie Barr, treasurer." " 'What did you say?' " " 'Yes, our society is sure to have its place in the front ranks of the Whatcom Normal School.' " The club has changed its name since that far away time, as has the school, but the aims of the Alcott continue in the Alkisiah Club. Two Hundred Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1923 - Page 217 ---------- Practice in public speaking, opportunity to keep in touch with public events, and experience in altruistic club work are offered all our members. Due to the faithfulness of our efficient officers, and especially to the loving service of our sponsor, Miss Moffat, who gave so willingly of her time and assistance, we have enjoyed a most profitable year. At one of our most interesting meetings, Miss Alice Longley, who teaches classes of the foreign born, spoke to us upon "What is Being Done to Eradicate Illiteracy in Bellingham." This is one of the topics being taken up by the Federation of Women's Clubs this year. The study of this subject wil lbe of service to those who participated in it, when they meet the problem in their own communities and schools. Some of our programs have been devoted to the lives and works of well-known poets. One enjoyable program dealt with prominent persons in present-day affairs. Musical selections and readings have lent variety to many of our meetings. The club, in connection with the Home Economics department, sponsored the Home Products Week in the cafeteria. The sale of Christmas seals in the Normal was carried on by the Alki-siahs as a part of their Federation work. Some improvement each quarter has been made in the Alkisiah room at the infirmary. Our chief undertaking this year has been the beginning of a fund for building the Alkisiah lodge at Normalstad. Varied are the ways in which the fund has grown. The sale of sandwiches, ice cream bars, and popcorn balls during recreation hour, at basketball games, and at Edens Hall on Saturday mornings has proved profitable and popular. That the social side has not been neglected, those who attended the de-lightful Thanksgiving meeting at the home of Mrs. Van De Wetering, and the pleasant evenings at the homes of Miss Moffatt, Miss Forest, and Evelyn Moussou, will bear witness. The initiation, which took place in the first quarter, was a hilarious affair, enjoyed by even the victims. Much latent talent for impromptu speaking was discovered among the members. Our annual banquet held at the Leopold Hotel on February 27, was un- usually successful. The decorations and favors carried out the club colors of purple and gold in a pleasing fashion. Many former members from a distance were with us, and their account of other days of work and frolic, was one of the features of the program. Our faculty members by their presence and words of encouragement, helped to make it a memorable occasion.

The play under. study by the Dramatic club and which is to be given at the annual June commencement is "Miss Lulu Bett" by Miss Zona Gale. The artificiality of the stage has become such a fixed institution that to attempt reality and so depict life genuinely is a daring and clever thing to do. It is for this that Miss Gale was awarded the Pulitzer Prize by Columbia Uni-versity. The popularity of the play and the enormous sale of the book attest its value. What Sinclair Lewis in "Main Street" did for the American small town, Zona Gale has done in this play for the humdrum American family. It is as if the merciless camer!a snapped life at its unposed moments and we see before us a typical suburban hiome living its every day life just as you and I see it about us daily. Dwight Herbert Deacon, the elf-acclaimed maintainer of the home, is a man made in his own image. His suave remarks land banality get him no-where save in his own estimation and in that of his ever fawning, aping, and inefficient wife, Ina Deacon. The stage has always pictured children as lovable little darlings, and we gasp as Monona Deacon, the youngest offspring of this pair, in deliberate plot-tings and petulency establishes her reputation, "the world's most disagreeable stage child." The strange part is we gasp but once, then embrace, then love, this spiteful, nosey little chit. Why? Are we too of this family? Possibly we are beginning to read beyond mere words and to see her play as Miss Gale would have us see, it. To complete the trio, we have Grandma Bett, equally keen of wit as of tongue, who sees even further than we do into the heart of this high priest of egotism, Dwight Deacon. In the midst of this Miss Lulu Betts slaves-awiakes-moves on. The play is styled a comedy of manners. Tears are closely akin to laughter and Miss Gale in one master stroke succeeds in creating a unique realism permeated with tenderness and sympathy. The cast of the play gas it will be presented in the Normal auditorium May 29, 1923, is as follows: MISS MIRIAM SHERMAN ....................---............ ...M..o nona Deacon DEWEY BOWMAN ........................................

The Clef Club consists of twenty-four selected voices. The club has favored the students in various assembly programs, and has given several numbers at Commencement exercises, all of which were greatly enjoyed. The club also gave an evening's entertainment over the radiophone. The Spring Opera, a delightful evening of music, concluded the work for the year. With the able assistance of Miss Belton, the Clef Club is successfully carrying out its aim of setting a higher standard for music in our school.

Mr. Raymond, a local teacher, made a call and the response was splendid. How little we realized that the shouting quarterback on the football team and the rooters on the side lines could put their vocal cords to another, and more euphonious use. We are expecting something very good in the near future from this group. In fact, we are assured of this with Mr. Raymond in charge.

The entertainments g:iven by the orchestra were not confined to assemblies, but extended as far as the Rotary Club, Teachers' Institute, Radiophone, and the two high schools. The Orchestra has mastered some very difficult numbers, as well as the lighter popular kind. We owe a great deal to Mr. Williams, whose service in the Music De- partment of the school cannot be given too much praise. CHORAL CLUB. With the opening of school this fall the reorganization of the Choral Club found a membership of nearly a hundred mixed voices. The club meets once a week and is working up a big production to be given sometime in the next quarter. This club is also under the directorship of Miss Belton, who is a great inspiration to the workers.

SAM S. FORD, OF ALASKA FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR HERO! Word has been re-ceived here by friends that S. S. Ford, Litt. D., Ph.D., Y. W. C. A., graduate of the Teachers' College at Bellingham, and Unique Professor of Metaphysics and Higher Electricity in all Alaska, has saved the life of Uug Klopj, a native of Gluugav. The details to be in-ferred are that Dr. Ford and Uug Klopj were walking along a trestle. Uug Klopj fell through into the water below. Dr. Ford plunged into the tide to save the lad. The waves produced by Dr. Ford's violent contact with the water washed Uug Klopj inshore a dis-tance of three hundred feet, to a point nine feet above the ordinary level of the river. Cognizant of Dr. Ford's heroism, the authorities of the Teachers' College at Bellingham will confer upon him the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The letter also told of Dr. Ford's reading a dis-sertation before a Spoof-um Society entitled "The Ethical and Material Value of Soft Soap as a Conductor of Electri-city."

One of our students (Gertrude Egbert) recalls quite vividly the impres-stion made upon her as Mr. Thal played "Thru assemblies in '22. the Night" at one of the We are proud to wel-come Mr. Thal who has further developed his ability to exorcise one's cares and to make life again worth while by the strains of sweet mu-sic. -B.S.N.S.- FIRE ! FIRE ! Catastrophe on The !Hill Amid the screams of sweethearts and the hissing of the streams of water as they were played upon the roaring flames several thousand students watched the south wing of the boys' dormitory become en- gulfed in flames. It so happened that the young men had piled scores of mattress-es below the window of room 613 to insure a way of escape should the Dean happen in on their poker game. At 3:05 a. m. a board squeaked in the hall. One of the boys happened to be puffing on a cubeb, which he promptly threw out of the window. In no time the mattresses were roaring vigorously. Then the door opened. The Dean looked in. The boys ran to the window and jumped to the con-clusion that they were gone. The firemen, hav-ing been summoned by Mr. Kibbe, who had seen the blaze while correct-ing papers, already had seven lines of hose in action. Owing to the bravery of Fire Chief Carl Trigg-vi the building was saved. Fireman Lowman was severely burned about the wrists and will be unable to talk for several weeks. Miss Beryl Wilson fainted. Mr. O. Hoggatt, with the other men, was caught. - B.S.N.S.- Service ! Dear Mr. Editor: Why, may I ask, can-not the elevators be on time? It is the same thing, day after day. We're late, always late. Do you know that I was late to two classes yes-terday? And why? May I ask you, why? For the simple and insig-nificant reason that the elevator boy tried to kiss one of OUR stu-dents who was chewing gum and for this reason his mouth got stuck so that he couldn't call off the floors. How did I know where I was? Oh, it is terrible to think that such a con-dition exists in this, our Washington State Teach-ers' College. Can't we at least have the privilege of being punctual? I hope, Mr. Editor, that you will bring the necessary pressure to bear upon the elevator boy, thru your paper, so that I may be spared the grief of being tardy. Yours, Bertha Splitdorf, Editor's note - Who was "one of OUR stu-dents" ? -B.S.N.S. Student Opinions. (We will not print any opinion that smacks of slander or of malicious-ness. At least, don't go too far. We wish this department to be a digni fled guider of opinion.

It was a glorious cele-bration. Covers were laid for 75. The table was a daintily decorated with the club colors, orange and black. Roast wild duck was the 'main at-traction as they were procured by Mr. Rahs-kopf. Miss Helen Goke, an alumnus of 1923,spilled a cup of coffee on the new tablecloth. Dr. Fay Jenkins gave an interesting after-din-ner speech entitled "The Love Scenes of Tomor-row." Mr. Benson was called upon. Much to the as- tonishment of those pres-ent, he announced his en-gagement to Miss Sloane ((Cont. on Page 14) FUNDS RAISED FOR LIBRARY Legislators Loosen Up. At one of the most sen-sational sessions of the Washington Legislature the Stovel-Frank bill passed the Senate by a majority of three votes. Senators Morganthaler, Zimmer, and Cederberg spoke for the measure amid the cheering of the three hundred and fifty students that filled the galleries, the yelling be-ing led by Mrs. Shidell, nee Pennington, State Lung Inspector. Causes Riot. Our veteran librarian, Mabel Zoe Wilson, was invited by Speaker Biles to address the Senate. She promptly made mon-keys out of the opposing factions to the extent that the Sargent-at-Arms Rice was instructed to play a fire hose upon the unreasonable legislators. In the course of her remarks, Miss Wilson stated that the old building erected in 1929 is entirely and absolute-ly inadequate, that the upholstery is coming off the chaise-longues in the reading room, and, that the book shelves had had to be placed as close together as four feet. She said further that if the money were not ap-propriated within ten minutes she would have a filibuster started on the Haeske Anti-Flirting Bill. Vote Implored. Owing to the reputa-tion of Miss Myers, the leader of the faction op-posing Mr. Haeske's bill, the solons howled that the vote be taken. Crowd Goes Wild. After the vote was taken and the result made known the cheer-ing throng milled for an hour and thirty-five min-utes. Miss Wilson was carried out over the heads of the enthusiasts.

IRVING MILLER PRESIDENT VICE- PRESIDENT SECREi-ARY-TREASURER ADVISOR Jurior-5 ior C2of epz Can you picture a Viking not brave, fearless, whole-hearted, and loyal? Or one not venturesome, inquisitive, and explorative? We, Junior and Senior Vikings, have seen the distant headland and are fascinated. (We must stay with the ship and see it through). The only regret that we, who have already waded ashore, can possibly entertain is that our fleet did not include that new ship, the library. Contrary to all expectations, the 1926-27 Junior-Senior group was larger than that of the preceding year. When the 1926 legislature refused, or neglected, to empower the Normal School to grant a degree in education, it was predicted that the Junior-Senior-College group would become but a matter of history. However, the outlook for the future is now very bright. Better relationships have been es-tablished with the University of Washington whereby fourth year Normal graduates are enabled to secure a master's degree in education with but four quarters' addi-tional work. The third-year work has been especially strengthened and standardized during the past year and will soon be taken at par. During 1925 and 1926, there were no fourth-year graduates. This year there have been between 40 and 50 of them. We are confidently looking forward to a much larger junior-senior registration for the coming fall. Though hard hit the previous year, the Junior-Senior College reorganized and got well under way by the winter quarter. This group proved to be of a most con-genial nature. It was unique in that its members, though coming from widely di-vergent sections, had a community of interests. We all had the experience of going through the same training school. Many had taught a considerable number of years, a number had attended various other educational institutions and all were deeply interested in the problems of education. We cannot but regret that as the numbers grow from year to year that intimate relationship may decrease.

This class entered the portals of the Bellingham State Normal School in the fall of 1926 not only to learn the merits of school life that would enable it to uphold the standards of this institution but also to safely guide it on through the years of life. While it was still the freshman class it was not only able to show its ability in being foremost from the scholastic standpoint, but was also in the limelight along the lines of athletics as well as presenting by far the best times to be had at its class parties and dances which affairs although they were not all, were a part of the school life. This class carried off the honors for football, basketball, and tennis with such men as Shelton, Keplinger, Reed, Odell, Gray, and others to represent us. The girls of this class were also prominent in many activities some of them being athletics in which the freshman girls won in volley ball and hockey from the sophomores. Many pleasant memories fill the minds of this class when recalling events and happenings of the year 1926 at Bellingham State Normal School. Again in the fall of 1927 this same class met and re-established friends and acquaintances for the year ending June, 1927, at which time all would separate and go each in his own direction heading for a certain pursuit. One of the first ac-complishments of this class was to call a business meeting and elect officers to carry them safely through this their last year of normal school training. As a result of this meeting the following were selected by the class to represent them in all their undertakings: Bryan Hankins, president; Lucille Youngbluth, vice-president; Eleanor Iles, secretary and treasurer. Many honors were bestowed upon this clas due to its fame in school athletics and other activities. Mainly sophomores comprised the basketball team which brought home to us the good news of our victory over the other state normals in basketball. In the fall quarter of 1927 a dance was sponsored by the sophomores; this was held in the big gym and the decorations were symbolic of a ship's deck. In the winter quarter another dance was held; at this affair the big gym was transformed into a street in Greenwich Village. With such a setting many artists, clad in smocks and tams were seen enjoying the evening of February 25th, 1927. Through the ardent efforts and leadership of Miss Weythman, our worthy adviser, and Phil Sisk the party was a success. Sophomores were also winners in the Extempore Speech Contest, so taking into consideration all these honors surely the class of 1927 is bound to ccme out on top and be victorious in whatever it may attempt to conquer.

By KEN SMITH Yo Frosh! Ya Frosh! Yo-Ya-Frosh! Starting with their big fall quarter party, the class of 1928 proceeded to show the world what the snappiest class that ever attended Bellingham Normal was like. The party was a huge success as was also the big Winter Carnival held in January. Madeline Bosshard, Queen of the Carnival, graced the ballroom in a dazzling creation of white chiffon trimmed with ermine. Many talented and popular members have the Freshmen contributed to the student body. Among those with literary ability are June Wetherell and Chester Chatfield. To athletics, the women of the class have contributed Golda Abel, Carrie Tucker, Pearl Pruden, and many others. The men have "Occie" Thorsen, "Ted" Clark, Dean Edmundson, Russ Seymour, Forrest Jensen, Art Isaacson, Donald Stickney, and many other stars. For committee workers and officers much credit must be given to the following: Golda Abel, Reginald. McKee, Jack Kellogg, Harold Houlton, Dorothy McCool, Beth Coughlan, Carrie Tucker, Roy Arnett, Ray Seeley, and Madeline Bosshard. We wish to take this opportunity to thank Miss Keller, our adviser, for all that she has done in our behalf. Much of the success of a class is due to its adviser. The class of 1928 has been one of the most prosperous and successful classes in the history of the school. Coming from farms, cities, small towns, and rural districts, we were as green as grass when we registered as Freshmen. We are now worldly wise, and hardship-toughened Sophomores. Just watch us go!

J. Arntzen; Secretary, Robert Wagner. Miss Kathleen Skalley, elected by the Student Body to take the place of E. A. Bond who was absent on a vacation, served on the Board for the fall and part of the winter quarter. Among the many social affairs sponsored by the Associated Student Body this year, perhaps the most outstanding were those associated with the Annual Homecoming Week during the fall GEORGE C. ALLEZ quarter. Much credit is due Estelle Martinson, PRESIDENT chairman of the Homecoming committee, for the efficient way in which these were handled. Elsa Pearl was elected as student representative at the end of the fall quarter to take the place of Grace Jacobson, whose term had expired. During the year many problems arose coincident with the elimination from the State Normal School curriculum of the one-year course. The need was also felt for the centralization of all student activities under the Board of Control with the object of closer cooperation and better service to the student body. This policy has been consistently adhered to by the Board of Control during the year.

Through consistent effort the columns have been put on a higher level than ever before. Of special interest to the students was the series of articles written by George Allez, student-body president, concerning various organizations and all-school activities. During the winter quarter the Messenger staff promoted the organization of a group of aspiring writers into what is known as the Scribes' Club and made plans for the publication of a club magazine to be issued as a quarterly supplement to the Messenger. The Messenger also conducted a literary contest, and planned for a permanent contest to be held annually, with pins as awards. Perhaps one of the best comments that can be made on the school newspaper is the fact that throughout the year it has served its purpose well. It has been a record of student activity and has been of interest to the entire student body. Mr. Fowler has acted as adviser.

The ."Red Arrow" was a magazine devoted to the literary interests of the Normal students, and contained poems, essays, short stories, representative of the literary talent of the student body. Many of the writings had been entered in the literary prose and poetry contests of the Scribes' Club. In the winter quarter's magazine, of which Victorio Velasco was editor, ap-peared a poem of the world-famous traveler and lecturer, Tom Skeyhill. There was also an interview of Carl Sandburg, who had addressed the Normal student body during the quarter. These truly "professional touches" added a great deal to the success of the magazine. The publication served a two-fold purpose. It was not only of interest to the readers, but was also a means of expression of Normal students interested in jour-nalism which heretofore had never been available. With such a successful beginning it seems quite probable, since it is planned to be a quarterly publication, that the "Red Arrow" will continue to live up to the high standards set by its first authors. Y'Rormal5f ab A recreation center for the students of the Bellingham State Normal School has long been the dream of the student body. To fulfil that dream the territory known as Normalstad, with a forty-acre frontage on Lake Whatcom, was purchased several years ago and plans have been made for one large lodge for all- school activities, with smaller cottages for various clubs. Locations have been selected for a baseball diamond, a hockey field, and for tennis courts. On the lake, directly in front of Normalstad, there is a one- mile course ad-mirably suited for boat races. The Northern Pacific railroad track is parallel to this straightaway, making it possible for observation cars to follow the races. Doubtless regattas will be held in future years. By means of all-school picnics and campus days the students in past years have cleared a portion of the land, and have built a substantial wharf. The old road has also been developed until it is now possible to drive a light car up to the very front door of Normalstad during dry weather. With the help of Geneva township it is hoped that the road will be further improved this year. Perhaps in the not-too-far future it will be possible to begin work on the main lodge, so that the dream of Normalstad will be realized. Fifty-six C ___ __ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 57 ---------- In spite of superstition, Friday is probably the most popular day at Nor-mal. Not only does it precede the freedom of the week-end, but every Friday between the hours of four and five the students are drawn irresistibly towards the "Big Gym" by the gay music from "Frannie" Wilcox's jazz orchestra. Here they may enjoy the pleasures of "Recreation Hour," leaving far behind the cares of the workaday world. The "Rec" Hour committee has the gym and the music all ready for them and is waiting at the door to scan their student activities tickets. The success of "Rec Hour" has been well proved by the large numbers of stu-dents who attend this weekly festival. It will probably go down in history as one of the most popular traditions of the Bellingham State Normal School. The following compose the "Rec" Hour Committee: IRMA LITTLER, Chairman VERTA TEMPLETON OLIVE HARDAN FOMIA WAKIN MAURICE THOMPSON ALICE LINGLEY PHYLLIS CRABILL BRYAN HANKINS Fiffty-seven _ ILU-L -CII -- - - ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 58 ---------- uget 6ou#) iofo icaf fafioy Near Friday Harbor, Wash., the county seat of the picturesque San Juan County, is located the Puget Sound Biological Station where science courses in the field and in the laboratory are conducted during the summer quarter. The Normal School is co-operating with the University of Washington in offering two courses here, one in plant biology and one in animal biology. The Friday Harbor region was selected for biological study because of the especial abundance of both fauna and flora in that region; hence it is possible for class work to be conducted in the field as well as in the laboratories. The Normal classes make a study of the important facts concerning structure, physiology, classification, and environmental conditions of plant and animal life. The primary aim of these courses is to give the student an active interest in the out-of-doors, and at the same time to equip teachers with those materials which will be of use to them in nature study work. Life at the Station is generally a busy but simple one. There are forenoon and afternoon classes in the laboratory or on the seashore. The student is given an opportunity to pursue knowledge in an almost ideal situation, unhampered by the usual school-day difficulties. Everyone sleeps soundly and arises regularly, eating three meals a day (oh, yes you will-even the fussy ones do-) hiking, rowing and leading an invigorating outdoor life. It is quite a common phenomenon for "thin" people to leave the Station at the end of the nine weeks' term, not only with increased knowledge of facts and methods of application, but also with increased weight, appetite, vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. A spirit of good fellowship prevails among the students, who range in age and experience from youthful high school graduates to university professors, and are representative of numerous states, schools, countries, and ideas. Professor Newman, himself, the author of the textbook used in the science and civilization courses, was enrolled at the Biological Station a few summers ago. And think of sitting across the table from an internationally known scientist and naturalist like Professor Kincaid! In spite of all these opportunities for physical and social development, the station is not a summer resort. These desirable features only add to the general capacity for work, and the work itself is the joy as well as the purpose of the Station. Fifty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 59 ---------- Aount_ Taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity for outdoor study that its location offers, our growing Normal-by-the-Sea reached into the heart of the mountains and during a session of five weeks, Professor Robert Landon conducted class work under the brow of Mt. Baker with Kulshan Cabin as headquarters. Each Saturday brought a new group of enthusiastic students who had received their initiation into the great mountain's mysteries by a thirty-six mile drive to the town of Glacier and a ten- mile hike through the forested foothills. Each day brought such novel experiences to these "tenderfeet" that the week of varied activities passed too rapidly to satisfy the hunger for the great outdoors fostered by the program of activities. The early morning hours brought a group downstairs to prepare breakfast and put up lunches for the day. Then, refreshed by the crisp mountain ozone and a hearty breakfast, carrying lunches and notebooks, the class went on a field trip every day. Each trip included problems of special significance and study where the student came in contact with various phases of nature, where dynamic processes involving great cyclic changes revealed themselves first hand to the prospective teacher and where she obtained knowledge and experiences of untold value in her chosen field. On these trips the class observed the mountain strams as they first trickled from the flanks of melting snow banks and later as huge torrents carrying boulders and rock flour, hewing their way through walls of sheer rock; they observed living glaciers growing on the sides of the mountains, the birth of valleys, and the disappearance of a vast peneplain. They traveled through a mountain meadow and forest, over naked rock and glittering snowfields. During the middle of the afternoon the class returned to the cabin. A hurried bath in one of the numerous mountain streams nearby, a few moments of rest, opportunity for reading and study, and then the call to supper! The evenings were devoted to lectures, class discussion, and map work. Singing and story-telling around the huge fireplace completed the day, and at ten-thirty all was quiet.

With bloody pirates hoisted on the Viking galleon leading the line, not with knives and daggers, but with "sax" and trombone, the all-school mixer started eight hundred students on a fair voyage for a good year at Bellingham Normal. It was exciting discovering who was who in the get-acquainted games-and to find out that names do mean something-sometimes if they are attached to the right person and you are a thousand miles from home. The revelry moved now tempo rubato. The Pirates, the bad, glad pirates had come with instruments of witchery. Heels twinkled! And the dance was on! Feature dances vied with the punch bowl for attention. Too soon the Pirates were playing the last waltz. A little ceremony occurred when all had gone. Shall I tell you? Very quietly the Blue and the White, guardians of hosts of memories, opened the door for a slender young memory to come home-the memory of the first all-student mixer of 1926-7. Y. W. C. A. RECEPTION-OCT. 1 The years do slip by! But each fall, marking a pause in the whirl, comes the Y. W. C. A. reception. It brings much of value in the way of tradition, but of more worth is the prevalence of good fellowship and kindliness at this time. The reception was given at Edens Hall this year. The shaded lights, low chairs before the fireplace, and the fine hospitality of the hostesses caused many new students to drop their cloaks of shyness. The program of music and dramatic readings, which formed the major portion of the evening's entertainment, was of unusually high merit. KID PARTY-OCT. 2 Some one found a wishing ring! A sparkling, gem-set wishing ring! which, if you turn to the East, where the sun cones up, you will be whisked into the land of Tomorrow. If you turn it to the West, where the sun goes down, you may open the door to Yesterday. A very small person shut her eyes, wished very hard, and turned the ring to the West! The door to yesterday flew open and out tumbled little girls and little girls! Tomboys and pirates, swarthy and bold; Pollyanna with smiles enough for even the very cold! Why? Must I tell? Very well I shall then-but you'll never know, never know, even then. Each year, shortly after the opening of school, the Women's League in an effort to create opportunities for the formation of new friendships holds a party for all disciples of Peter Pan. The only requisite is that you go down the road to Yesterday, find the little girl you were once upon a time, and bring her to the party. Sixty __ __ _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 61 ---------- WOMEN'S LEAGUE TEA-OCT. 27 "Lit candles in a casement ope at night Starring the dusk in Babylon"- And lit candles in the reception room at Edens Hall shining in the October twilight. "At candlelight" is a very special time of day. So many things happen while tall tapers burn. Friends could come and go-as they did, although leaving with reluctance. For, if the candles failed in invitation, the music was irresistible. This first tea of the year, sponsored by the Women's League and occurring at Edens Hall, was unique. One doesn't always have tea at candlelight and the novelty of the affair added to its attractiveness. A dance interpretation in delicate music, by three members of the Women's League, was the final number of the program. EDENS HALL INFORMAL-NOV. 4 "Si Senor,"-the rose in her hair even nodded assent. And the black lace mantilla caught like a wisp of wind on her carved comb echoed the reply. Then-his low answer, "Muchas gracias, Senorita"--and they whirled away in a gay Spanish dance. At this informal given by the girls of Edens Hall the care-free spirit of old Spain was cunningly introduced. The hall might have been a replica of a dancing square in Barcelona. Much finesse is required to create a situation of this kind with the congruent atmosphere, but it was excellently done by the girls of Edens Hall. HOMECOMING-NOV 5-6 "Oh at last, when you return from the three Pa districts, Send me a message home ahead! And I will come and meet you and never mind the distance, All the long way to Ch'and--sha!" -Li Po. We don't mind the distance, do we? Not when we are coming back to the Normal-by-the-Sea. There were two hundred and fifty alumni who came back this year. I think they scarcely realized they were back until about six-thirty Friday night when a polychromatic noise came hurdling across the campus! Yoh! Vikings! Yoh! Vikings. The serpentine and bonfire next in line were cocktails for the game Saturday. And were we-ah-"pepped up ?" Rather! Was there any one who didn't become inflamed at the judiciary talent displayed by the Thespians? Registration hours (I'll wager that amused them, standing in line again for registration) were from ten to twelve Saturday morning. Then luncheon at Edens Hall. Right royal entertainment they were given when various clubs presented musical artists and displayed their best actors. The game was at two o'clock. Pennants, color, football booklets, and fresh-men who had been making spectacular yard-runs for an hour. A yard was the limit! You couldn't get any farther. You were always interrupted in the midst of a dash with, "Well, well, well- when did you get back?" How easily the game seemed to progress ! There couldn't have been any other outcome. Sixty-one ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 62 ---------- A banquet for the football men and the alumni was given at Edens Hall after the game. From here our guests went to the armory where the mixer was under way. We marvelled at the amazing self-control of the football men. Although there were footballs everywhere around the hall, only once did we see a quarter-back caress the brown leather oval ball and murmur reminiscently 74-64-44! We wished "homecoming" would come oftener, when our alumni paused on the way down the steps and called back, "Thanks! So fine a time! Good-night." FRESHMAN MIXER-NOV. 19 The colors shifted like blossoms on a screen in old China. Across the hall came the tinkling laughter of milady as she pointed her silver slipper in the dance. Such gaiety! It all began in the auditorium when the curtains parted for the vaudeville frolic of pantomimes and music which preceded the annual Freshman dance in the main "gym." Music, teasingly provocative, sifted through the ap-plause of the last curtain call and poised in graceful invitation, pointed the way to the hall. Here Neva Cays and John Kerr proved most adroit in the measured movements of the feature dance and won the prize from twelve competitors. The success of this first freshman frolic might be measured by the words of a sleepy little co-ed as she tumbled, yawning, into bed, "Oh- such a good time!" WOMEN'S LEAGUE INFORMAL-NOV. 20 Gay parasols! gay laughter and the swift movement of color through the rooms. All were found at this first informal dance of the year given by the Women's League at Edens Hall. Lanterns were clustered like flowers here and there in unexpected places. But you weren't surprised! Only once! You were standing by a very poised young person who slowly waved her fan before her exquisite face-and you caught a fragrance of cherry blossoms. Remember? Then you were startled and wondered if you had been whisked away to Japan in a wink of time. A moonlight waltz followed by a Japanese feature dance increased the enchantment. Listen! Were those temple bells? Were they? Only this I know! That night, caught fast in rubric, was placed between the dark covers of many a "Hymn" book! MEN'S CLUB AND WOMEN'S LEAGUE CHRISTMAS PARTY AT EDENS HALL-DEC. 15 Most of all I remember the tree! Was there ever such a Christmas tree? Not very many lights ! No-there weren't many lights-even in Bethlehem a long time ago. Except one in the sky and one that we have always since that night. But the tree! Poised, secretive, holding its branches very still lest they dance in all their silver! I wondered if it might be waiting for some one! Some one rather round and jolly, you know! Oh, of course! Santa Claus! We entertained him for awhile. Some jolly-fol-de-rol, club stunts and carols. He rather liked it, I think. Else why were there so many packages under the tree when he left? La! the excitement then when the gay parcels were opened. Shouts of laughter and gasps of surprise. I had to go then, but you remember the rest- Sixty-two ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 63 ---------- ALL SCHOOL TEA The all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League and the Men's Club was the first social event of the winter quarter. A varied program of music and drama-tic readings lent charm to the occasion. Such events are always apropos at the begining of a term. Especially is this true in our school where an ever-changing student body demands new acquaintances each quarter. .OREGON CLUB DANCE A cantata of color stirred by the radiation of music from a garden enclosure was our first impression of the Oregon Club dance. The dark shining leaves of the Oregon grape about the room seemed only shadows cast by the light slipping through moth-green streamers. Was the Spanish dancer in a black and silver dress only a shadow, too? We don't know-only we felt a certain ecstasy as she went pirouetting down the room. Another color was added by the moonlight waltz. The web-foot insignia of the state of Oregon was represented by fat, happy ducks, who, unhampered by paper bodies, made complacent attempts to walk along the wall. Programs made of green and white "O's" harmonized with the decorative scheme. The smooth procedure of the entire affair was indicative of a well-organized, uniquely planned dance. OUTSIDE INFORMAL-FEBRUARY 12 He had a ruffle of lace at his throat and she had a dimple in her chin and wore a pink satin gown with a ribbon of silver over her shoulder. Slippers were pointed in the graceful movement of the minuet as the dancers moved now fast, now slow, with gentle dignity. Of such quality was the feature at the informal dance given by the girls who live outside of Edens Hall. The theme in decorations and program was colonial. There were Lexington, Concord, and other cities made famous by Paul Revere's midnight ride. The moon-light waltz opened the door to a scene in an old Southern garden where the night sweetly fragrant with magnolia blossoms turned ever dignified colonial ladies into witches. St. Valentine, that best old guardian of double hearts, was among those present-perhaps we dreamed it, but did he say, leaning close to the gay revelry, "Benedicite ?" FRESHMAN WINTER CARNIVAL Some time, in the winter time when you are tired of so many things, take a look at the delicate frost fronds a jolly artist has painted on your window over night. The Freshman created a miniature kingdom of Iceland at their carnival early in the winter quarter. There was the queen of all this whiteness, graciously pre-siding with her lords and ladies in waiting; music, too, sifting like a wind-blown cry through glistening icicles. A Russian dance recalled the ice-bound Neva with the colors of sunset playing over its surface. The bags of confetti were really only jagged bits of prisms that had caught a little of the summer sun and stored it away for just such a winter scene. Several favor dances magnetized attention and before we knew it the last waltz was being played. Sorry to go-it was all so very novel and beautiful-but glad of the calibre of a freshman class that could present such a finished production. Sixty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 64 ---------- GREENWICH VILLAGE BALL-FEBRUARY 25 Street cries, flying color, and roguish music teasing our toes. Or if you'd rather -- whirls of laughter and open-eyed marvelling at the talent of the artist in the rakish studio. And the lamp posts! We went into a corner and began to question ourselves. For you know other lamp-posts aren't as these were-and when one is accustomed to moral lamp posts!-don't you see? We grew a dark suspicion about those stars, too. They were so bold, so very bold for stars. So many artists did we see, painting pictures. Oh not on canvas! These were very prosperous Bohemians in this Greenwich Village with their smart tams. (Bohemians are the only people in the world who would think of "duesday" as a source of income.) Those daring Apache dancers! Several times when we've been scouting around Europe-mentally, we've seen Apache dancers even as these. Think, then, of our excitement when we saw them under our own blue sky. Artists were at work in this village before we came-long before! Working, planning, creating scenes for your entertainment and mine. 'To those gifted ones we give a confetti-colored "thank you" for such a fine time at the Sophomore Greenwich Village Ball. SPRING QUARTER The Viking Vodvil was one of the high lights of the season. Its place in mid- quarter was most apropos since student teachers had long since lost consciousness, and exam-weary students were questioning the value of "petty godgy" in our social system. Pantomimes, shadow plays, and music formed first class entertainment at this Vodvil. And as Chieh Chung would say, "Our delight exceeded the colors of heaven." Campus Day at Normalstad was like after-dinner mints. We wanted to pro-long the joy of those hours, but the sun insisted on "sliding off the edge of the sky," while we distastefully recalled the fact that some instructors still called eight o'clock classes. This shadow play of days, drawn from a jade battle, flecked with scintillant hours goes quietly into the wings. Actors assume new masks, new costumes, and carefully cover their wishes and suspicions with a diploma and a contract. Some will cover them too carefully and though they look the wide world over will never find a single wish nor a suspicion. Others will keep their secret ambitions poised in the cool places of the heart in fear of this adventure we call the big business of teaching. A few moon-mad folk will find high flickering flames even in this adven-ture- due to two years of experience in adventure at the Normal-by-the-Sea.

The essence of the play revolves around the quotation from Shakespeare: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Although people are given a second chance to live, they still have a strain of human nature which does not change very much. The scenic construction for the play was of unusual beauty and effectiveness.

By virtue of a win in last year's debating circles, Bellingham retained the Ellison cup as a permanent possession. Excerpts from a letter by Mr. Ellison, read at the last debate program in 1926, stated, "a bigger and better cup will be offered for 1927 and subsequent years, providing that the three normal schools can make arrangements to promote debate." The fact that Ellensburg dropped out of inter-normal debate last year destroyed the triangular forensic competition that has been in vogue for a number of years between the three Washington normal schools. Agitation for the power to grant degrees in the teacher training institutions of the state of Washington would serve materially as an incentive for furthering tri-normal argumentation. Coaches of athletics in the Ellensburg, Cheney and Bellingham Normal schools have been desirous of having the degree act pass the legislature, in order that a minor college conference for athletics might be formed. The degree act would affect debate also, inasmuch as a minor college forensic conference might be formed. As an alternative to tri-normal debate, and as a supplement to inter-club debate, Miss Madden, head of the debate department of the Bellingham Normal, devised a unique plan for stimulating extemporaneous speaking in which any number of students were allowed to compete. The rules compelled participants to be prepared to deliver a five-minute oration on any subject pertinent to modern trends of thought, at an informal tryout. Members of the faculty acted as judges in the preliminary. Six students, George Allez, Sverre Arestad, Clare Jacobsen, Borghild Jensen, Jack Kellogg, and Edna Smith, were chosen from those who tried out, to appear in a final contest held in assembly in the latter part of the winter quarter. In this contest George Allez, Sverre Arestad, and Edna Smith were chosen to vie for honors in a final contest held in June. In the second elimination contest, prominent citizens of Bellingham, who had an appreciable knowledge of debate, acted as judges. Considerable enthusiasm was displayed by the large number of students that entered the contest. From all indications, this event will become a yearly tradition. Whether tri-normal debate ever regains its. former status or not, extem-poraneous speaking will be perpetuated by the momentum it received by the students and members of the faculty when only in the experimental stage. The extempore frays have now passed the embryonic period and for the time being, at least, have been added as one of the traditional activities of the Bellingham Normal. The cup, engraved with the name of the winner and that of the club rep-resented, will be perpetual. Seventy-seven _ ______ ___ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 78 ---------- Ccture oUurtL ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS TO APPEAR IN NORMAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Roy Chapman Andrews, re-nowned scientist and head of the Third Asiatic Expedition, will make two appearances at the Normal School auditorium, Thurs-day, February 24. He will lec-ture to the students at three o'clock in the afternoon and to the general public in the evening. Mr. Andrews has returned to America to tell his own personal experiences of the famous expe-dition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural History, in co-operation with the American Asiatic Asociation and the magazine, "Asia." In addition to his personal story, he is bringing thousands of feet of motion picture film, which will be shown for the first time with his lectures. Hot Races Expected "Imagine the quest of the real 'Golden Fleece' of China-the rare and beautiful golden 'takin', monarch of Mongolia's highest peaks, brought down by Mr. Andrews' rifle after days of dis-heartening hunt, Imagine a race between a modern auto and the wild ass of the Gobi Desert-a thirty-mile pursuit while the speedometer registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine quaint Mongol villages of shep-herds and their families, watching with half-startled, inquisitive eyes the queer white man and the even stranger machines that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their warnings in no uncertain language. A pano- rama of Life-such as it is in this out-of-the-way corner of the world-sl:oppers, peasants, roving brigands, llamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched to carts, camel trains of desert traders- so primitive it all seems that one cannot help but feel that the rocks of Asia should be the natural tomb of the oldest man." Andrews Has Caught Spirit Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romantic adventure that goes hand in hand with such an enterprise both in his own story and in his pictures. He turned back the clock a few million years and found hidden away in the rock strata the eggs and fossils of dinosaurs that lived when the world was in its infancy; he un-earthed the skull of the Baluch-ithirium, the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. In the expedition, which has been under way more than four years, Mr. Andrews has combined the most modern inventions with the old., The success of the ven-ture has depended upon the auto-mobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. FROM THE SON OF A BLACK-SMITH TO ITALY'S DICTATOR Taking as his subject, "Musso- ' lini and the Black Shirts," Tom Skeyhill, Australian soldier, lec-turer, poet and playwright, de-livered what was considered a very enlightening lecture at a special assembly Thursday after-noon, in the Normal Auditorium. The lecturer is a personal friend of the Italian dictator, and has made seven trips to Italy, making a study of the Italian political revolution. He gave, in a sweeping narration, the history of the colossal rise of Benito Mussolini from the blacksmith's son that he was, to the control-ling factor of Italy,sd estiny that he now is. According to tre lecturer, Mus-solini is himself a graduate of a Normal School, and his mother was a "school ma'am." Musso-lini, before his recent political ascent, was a newspaper editor, "always writing while the world was sleeping," according to Skeyhill. In an interview with a Messen-ger reporter after his lecture Mr. Skeyhill refused to give his opinion in matters which are purely American political prob-lems, asserting that it would be unethical for him to do so, in the light of the fact that he is not an American citizen, and is at present a guest on American soil. ENTICING SKITS IN FEATURE EVENT Miss Ruth Draper, who has achieved a remarkable success in the field of dramatics, presented a group of original character sketches to an enthusiastic and receptive audience at the Normal School Auditorium on Wednesday evening. In these characters she gave not only the characters she meant to portray, but their sur-rounding atmosphere, and in some cases peeps into their past. Miss Draper's characters were so realistically drawn that the interest of the audience was man- ifest throughout the entire per-formance. With the aid of almost no accessories, she evolved human beings out of thin air and actually made them live before the audience. Good Program-Variety Beginning the series with "The German Governess," the artist gained the whole-hearted sympathy of the spectators. The glee only increased as the pro-gram progressed. Of course there was a feeling of deep pathos as the "Dalamation Peasant in the Hall of a Hospital,' was por-trayed. The New England accent seems to be born with Miss Draper. In the encore she impersonated the French dress maker with an art that was colored with sublimity. Her knowledge of French is per-fect, and she speaks the language with a fluency and ease that only becomes one of the nationality. In the concluding number of the program, Miss Draper proved beyond a doubt her ability to polarize and electrify her audi-ence. The ludicrous moments in the skit went glibly on, ere long the pathos slipped in intermit-tently, until the curtain was drawn. LEW SARETT WILL LECTURE HERE MARCH 18 "Poet of Wilderness" Is a Very Fascinating Speaker and Reader Another interesting number of the Lecture Course, will be Lew Sarett, known as the "Poet of the Wilderness," who will ap-pear at the Normal Friday, March 18. It is only about eight weeks of the year that he can be induced to mount the lecture platform, but he is a most fasci-nating speaker and reader of his poems. He is an athlete, a dancer of Indian dances, a woodsman, and a rider. For years he was a forest ranger, a wilderness guide, a companion of the red man and of the wLite man, a university in-structor, a headliner of modern chautauqua and Lyceum, and a magazine writer. He has unfail-ingly spent at least three months of each year in the woods, has served as a U. S. ranger in Yel-lowstone and Glacier National Parks, and has guided and cruised by canoe and pack train 25,000 miles in Canada and the United States. Seventy-eight _ __ __ _ ___ _____ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 79 ---------- FAMOUS AMERICAN POET TO LECTURE HERE JAN. 15 Carl Sandburg, One of the Most Interesting of Contemporary Writers to Give Literary Treat Townspeople as well as stu-dents and faculty are looking for-ward to the appearance of Carl Sandburg, American poet, who will be here January 15, in the second number on the lecture course. Mr. Sandburg has led an unus-ual and interesting life which has naturally affected his poetry. He was born in Galesburg, Illinois, and there received his education. After leaving college he became a hobo and wandered all over the United States, learn-ing much of various classes of people. Later he found employment in the stockyards of Chicago, spend-ing his spare time in the writing of poetry. His start as a writer was made in hack journalism, and until recently he has served as motion picture critic on the Chicago News. CARL SANDBURG Famous American poet, who will lecture in the Auditorium to-morrow night at 8:00 o'clock. Contrary to many poets, his creations have not been written for the purpose of earning a living and is free from the influ-ence of readers and publishers. His poetry is a queer exotic combination of beautiful expres-sions, deeply mystic in quality and resembling the old Norse sagas. He has the ability to create the most vivid of mind pictures. There is a vigor and strength in his lines, expressing a brutal realism, most prominent in his poems about Chicago. He is rated by critics as one of America's best contemporary poets. MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS PRESENT MYSTERIOUS SHIP "OUTWARD BOUND" (By Mark Jarrett) The play "Outward Bound," given by the Moroni Olsen Players in the Normal School Auditorium, Saturday, February 5, was a de-cided success. The auditorium was well filled and the townspeo-ple as well as the students agreed that the presentation was excellent. Theme Rarely Dealt With The theme of the play is one that is very seldom dealt with-life after death. Perhaps it was the universal interest in the theme that made the drama such a thought provoking one. The plot centers about a young couple who commit suicide to find happiness together. They find themselves embarked on a mysterious ship "Outward Bound" for Heaven and Hell. Their ad-ventures during the voyage and the way in which the other pas-sengers accept the situation gives the play an appeal which holds one from beginning to end. As usual, the Moroni Olsen players gave us of their best. And their best has come to be, here in the West, a criterion by which we judge all other com-panies of players. The audience knows for a certainty, in advance of the production, that in every aspect the play will exceed ex-pectations.

The sextette has had a very successful and interesting program under the inspiring direction of Miss Maude Slawson. They appeared before the Business and Professional Women's Club where they were very enthusiastically received. At the home-coming luncheon the sextette represented the MacDowell Club of which all are members. They also rendered several Christmas selections before the American Association of University Women at Edens Hall. For the Christmas assembly the sextette sang several Christmas numbers characterizing the true spirit of the season. The members of the sextette are Irene Kendler and Esther Cooper, first sopranos; Phyllis Johnson and Grace Richardson, second sopranos; Martha Gesdahl and Thelma Butler, altos; and Ruth Quaife, accompanist. At the close of the spring quarter a pin was awarded by the Board of Control of the Associated Students to each of these members for their participation in this school activity.

Eighty-five Eng orfi6S ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 86 ---------- Jfoo a 5easoy When the 1926 grid season rolled around, Coach Sam Carver and his assistant, Harold Keeney, were faced with the problem of molding a winning aggregation from six veterans and two second stringers of the preceding year. With these men as a nucleus and some good freshman material on hand, a high class team which was feared by all its opponents was put on the field. Viking hopes were somewhat dashed when Boyd Staggs, veteran quarter, was declared ineligible, and forced to withdraw from athletic competition. Although two games of the six played were lost, both were lost by a margin of four points or less, which shows emphatically how the Normalites fought. In summing up the results of the season, extra credit should be given to Dan Bieghle, who played his first football, and who, along with Shelton, was an outstanding man in the line. Thorsen was probably the most consistent player, never having an off day; while Brown on the other end played good ball after making the first string. Odell and Seymour were primarily ball carriers and were a great pair when working together. Hawkings and Clarke were also ball-toters, while Stickney, Estill, and Staggs bore the brunt of interfering, occa-sionally taking the oval when need arose. The following men earned sweaters: Two year: Odel, Stickney, Baxter, Shelton, and Christman. One year: Seymour, Estill, Hawkings, Edmundson, Thorsen, Brown, Wana- maker, Clarke, Hinds, Hyde, Beighle and Stickney. Hansen, Drake, Blizzard, and Iverson are to be especially commended, as they turned out all season, and then lacked only a quarter or two to achieve the coveted "W" sweater. ST. MARTIN'S COLLEGE In the opening tilt of the season, the Viking grid team was swept aside by the fast St. Martin's eleven after a hectic battle, the final score being 14 to 13. This Irish team was the most powerful put out by the Lacey institution since football relations were established between the two schools. The Laceyites took the lead and held on tenaciously, although Coach Sam Carver's charges fought valiantly and deserved a tie. St. Martin's received a break in the first few minutes of play, getting the oval on the Normal 20-yard line. Ralkouski packed the ball across for the first touchdown, also converting. The Normal team then began functioning with Odel, Seymour, and Stickney alter-nating carrying the ball, the Normalites evening soon after. With two minutes to play in the first half, Johannes, fleet St. Martin's back, behind perfect interfer-ence, sped seventy yards for the final Irish score. Ralkouski converted, the ball balancing on the cross bar and finally falling over. In the second half St. Martin's was outplayed, but the Vikings were able to score but a lone touchdown, that by Seymour, who ripped the Irish line to shreds in the final minutes. Staggs failed to convert, leaving the score 14 to 13 against the Vikings. With a few seconds to play Odell attempted a drop kick, which failed along with Viking hopes for an unbeaten team.

HYDE BAXTER _ ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 88 ---------- SEATTLE COLLEGE Showing much improvement over the St. Martin's game, the powerful Viking machine snowed under the Seattle College Panthers, 27 to nil. The Normal goal was never threatened, a fact which gave the coaching staff an opportunity to try out all their reserves. The scoring started soon after the kick-off, the Normal blocking a punt and Odell going over for the initial touchdown. Using a variety of bucks and end-runs, Odell and Seymour pushed across another touchdown before the half ended. At the beginning of the second half Hawkings went for Seymour, and scored two touchdowns, running wild against the demoralized Seattle team. The work of the linesmen in the game was outstanding, each man doing his part perfectly and often opening up holes large enough for a truck to drive through. ELLENSBURG GAME The Ellensburg Wildcats blasted the Tri-Normal title hopes of the Viking crew by administering a 13 to 9 defeat. This was by far the most exciting and hard-fought game of the 1926 season. The Wildcats got the jump on the Carverites by recovering Odell's fumble on the 20- yard line and taking the ball across on the next play. The Viking crew then braced and made an uninterrupted march to the Wildcats' 30-yard line, Sey-mour bearing the brunt of the attack. Here Ruble, "Cat" guard, intercepted a pass and ran 70 yards for a touchdown, making the score 13 to 0 against the Norsemen. With the first half nearly over the Normalites recovered a fumble, Odell drop-kicking a field goal as the half ended. Determined to redeem them-selves, the Vikings started off with a bang, Seymour passing to Thorsen for twenty yards and then going through the line thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Twice more the Vikings were in scoring position: once by intercepting a pass, and again by working the oval to the 10-yard line in the final minutes, only to be penalized back to the 30-yard line as the game ended. CHENEY GAME Fighting to avenge the ignominious defeat of a year ago at the hands of the Cheney Savages, the Vikings redeemed themselves in the Annual Homecoming Classic by taking the long end of a 9 to 3 score. This victory automatically cinched place in the Normal Conference. Taking advantage of a Viking fumble, the Savages worked themselves to scor-ing position and place-kicked a field goal. Shortly before the half ended, the Viking machine began functioning, after receiving a "break" when the Chenev pivot man passed over the heads of his backs and a Viking recovered on the Savages' 25-yard line. From here Seymour and Clark carried the oval over. Most of the play during the rest of the game was in Savage territory. Coach Carver's boys once worked the ball down to the two-yard mark. Here a bad pass put the ball back to the 20-yard line, where Odell drop-kicked the final score.

This was the first victory for the Normalites over the University team and climaxed a successful season. The Supers started strong but were soon worn down by the vicious charging of the Viking linesmen and the hard plunging of the backs, Odell going over for a touchdown early in the second quarter. The next score came after working the ball up to the 25-yard line where Odell booted a pretty field goal against a strong wind. The last touchdown resulted from a 15-yard pass from Seymour to Odell, Odell making a pretty 35-yard run to cross the goal line. The Normal team played the best ball of the season in this game, the backfield working together as a unit and the play of both ends being great, both Thorsen and Brown having very little yardage made around them, besides blocking and recovering five punts. A STATEMENT ABOUT ATHLETICS By PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER A school should be judged not by the athletic teams it develops, but by the kind of service rendered to society through the graduates who go out of the institution. Athletics have a place in student activities and in the work and the life of a school but they should be made to fit in with the educational policy and program of a school. I believe that students should participate in athletics because of the joy and the satisfaction they get out of this kind of accomplishment and because in a school like ours they learn to instruct others in athletics. Athletics to be justified in an educational institution must offer students opportunities for individual growth in qualities of character and in health habits as well as in physical skills. The lowering of standards of scholarship for the sake of developing winning teams and the management of athletics upon a commercial basis has justly brought criticism upon schools. No student should be permitted to represent a school in athletics who is not in good standing in his classes and who does not put loyalty to the team and to the school above personal recognition and gain. We have had too much athletics in schools that developed winning teams to the neglect of the physical and the health development of all of the students of an institution. We are rapidly coming upon the time when schools will be judged more by what athletics can accomplish for the individual growth of character and health for all students rather than for the physical prowess of a few students. I am proud of the fact that in our school we have consistently spent more money for lectures, dramatics, and music than for athletics. At the same time we have made a place for athletics in our program and we have a record of accomplishments in athletics of which we may be justly proud.

STICKNEY SEYMOUR Ninety-one _ _ __ _ I _ _ _ _ ~ __ _ _ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 92 ---------- Winning the Tri-Normal Championship, usually considered the championship of the minor colleges, is no mean feat in itself, and causes a team to play consistently if they hope to keep in the running. This year the Normal was represented by such a team, one that set out to win and accomplished its purpose. The Vikings' record of games won and lost is one of which to be proud. When the initial call for 1927 varsity basketball was made by Coach Sam Carver in December, 1926, three star lettermen and numerous other brilliant hoop performers responded. Prospects for a successful season were never so bright. In addition to Stickney, Odell, and Keplinger, "W" winners, there were Isaacson, Benson, Seymour, Clarke, Thorsen, Hawkings, Harper, Hansen and Don Stickney. After the withdrawal from school of Seymour, Clarke and Hansen, and the coming of Jensen, a center from Chehalis, Coach Carver selected the following eight-man varsity: Ray Odell, Earl Keplinger and Jack Harper, forwards; Forrest Jensen and Oscar Thorsen, centers; Art Isaacson, Lyman Stickney and Harry Benson, guards. The team lived up to expectations. It went through a thirteen-game schedule in eight weeks of play, winning nine and losing four, and capturing the Tri-Normal championship. It swept everything before it and was on the road to the state minor colleges title with nine victories and one defeat, when a late-season slump came on, and the contests with the Rothschild's, St. Martin's College, and the Washington Freshmen all ended with Bellingham on the under side. The Vikings opened the season against the Lynden Zebras, an independent organization, on January 8. Ray Odell led his team-mates to a 32-24 victory, scoring twenty points and giving a brilliant exhibition of shooting. The New Westminster Adanjacs composed of highly touted Canadian amateurs, fell before a barrage of Bellingham baskets, 57-21. Odell again counted twenty markers. Playing superlative ball, the Carverites ran their winning streak on by conquering the Washington Frosh quintet, 31-25. With this victory the Vikings approached their full playing strength. Odell and Keplinger were working in perfect harmony at the forward positions. Jensen at center had a remarkable basket eye and was a hard man to stop. Isaacson as stationery guard was holding the opposition's star performers to low scores. Harry Benson, in the other defensive position, was playing a splendid game.

Ninety-two ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 93 ---------- L. STICKNEY ISSACSON THORSEN BENSON Ninety-three ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 94 ---------- On January 24, the team departed on its first road trip of the year, to eastern Washington to play two of its most important contests with Cheney and Ellensburg Normals. Ellensburg was downed 33-30 in two overtime periods, after a hard Wildcat uphill fight was halted just in time. The honor of inflicting the first defeat on the Vikings went to the Cheney Savages, who cut down and finally surpassed a big Bellingham lead to win in the last minute, 36-33. Spokane College was outclassed in the final road contest, 52-10. The Vikings opened the home stand which saw their game reach its highest point and brought them the Tri-Normal title, on February 7, against St. Martin's. Opponents showed remarkable basket ability to locate the hoop, but an early lead proved enough to bring another victory to Coach Carver's outfit. The score was 51-40. Taking on Cheney twice and Ellensburg cnce in four days, Bellingham clearly demonstrated its superiority over its two rivals and took premier State Normal honors. The Savages came here huge favorites to "cop," but were completely tamed after two mixes, which the Vikings won, 46-19 and 37-22. It was in the first of these that Jensen gave an exhibition that has never been equalled in Viking history of how to make shots count. Subduing the Wildcats from Ellensburg proved an easy matter, the score standing 40-21. Then came the last games of the season and with them, the slump. The Rothschild's Stevedores of Seattle, composed almost entirely of former Washington stars, won a deserving 36-23 victory. But on the final road trip both Washington Frosh and St. Martin's college inflicted Viking defeats, the former 34-31, and the latter 38-26. Nevertheless, the season was highly successful, and with practically the whole team returning, next year should see another victorious season. Just a few words on the individual players: Ray Odell, captain and high point scorer of the team. Ray is a dead shot under the hoop and makes his share of the score each game, continually outfoxing his guard. Earl Keplinger, most aggressive player on team, good shot from any angle; Earl and Ray make an ideal forward combination. Forrest Jensen, fine offensive player who can be counted to outscore his man. "Jens" is especially good on long shots, thus keeping the defensive team drawn out. Art Isaacson, one of the best, if not the best guard in the conference. Can be depended upon to hold his man practically scoreless. Lyman Stickney, dependable guard, and also a scoring threat. "Stick" plays a nice floor game and is always where he is most needed. Harry Benson, plays a good defensive game and counts often on shots from the back court. Oscar Thorsen, probably the best team worker on the squad, also fine floor man and good shot. Jack Harper, good floor man and fair shot, inexperience keeping him from making his letter. The following is a summary of the Varsity season: Vikings .... ....3.2 Lynden ........2.4.....

By taking the City Class B title the Jayvees hoopsters were admitted the best in their class, having won 15 and lost 4. The fast Roland Wrecker five took the first half of the class B title, but the Modern Woodmen and Normal Jayvees tied them for the second half. In the playoff for the second- half title, the Wreckers relinquished their right, preferring to meet the winner for the championship. The Junior Varsity came through with a win over the Modern Wood-men and then vanquished the Roland Wreckers, winning the Class B trophy, after dropping the first game and then taking the next two. The men responsible for this record are Morse, Lundberg, Thorlakson, Fisher, Norby, Meek and Blizzard. SUPER VARSITY The Super Varsity, composed of men who just fell short of making the first squad, made an enviable record by winning 16 out of the 19 contests played. By cap-turing the City Class A trophy, the Supers showed the potential ability to make a champion team the coming year. The first half of the split season was a walkaway for the Supers, taking every game. In the final half the strong Brown and Cole team nosed out the Normal team, but were defeated two straight games for the city title. Men composing the squad were Hawkings, captain; Estill, Burke, McClurkin, Issacson, Benson, Thorsen and Harper. The first squad also played in several games. Maurice Blizzard ("Mony"), William Morse ("Bill"), George Lundberg, Robert Fisher ("Bob"), Robert Bohler ("Bob"), Granville Thorlakson ("Granny"), Theo Norby ("Norby") Ninety-six ___ ----------- Klipsun, 1927 - Page 97 ---------- BACK ROW-Potts, Brooks, Estill, Patterson, Durr, manager, Keeney, coach. CENTER ROW-Isaacson, Stickney, Odell, Thorlakson, Wingaard. FRONT ROW-Kemp, McClurken, Wiley, Cooper. Harold Keeney, diamond coach, was greeted by one of the most encouraging turnouts this spring that the school has yet afforded. Four lettermen answered the call, while the rest of the squad included men of known baseball ability. Don Patterson, last year's pitcher, Lyman Stickney, Myron Estill, and Eddie Wingaard were the rosters of former Vikings in the fold. Wingaard from two years ago, was an excellent addition to the rather slim pitching staff. Newcomers included McClurken, an infielder from Richmond Beach, Kemp, a high school star from Snoqualmie, and Bob Wiley, who played first base for Puyallup High before coming here. Ray Odell, playing his first year of baseball for the Vikings, is holding down second base in great shape. "Chuck" Cooper, rated as one of the best catchers in Western Washington amateur ball circles, solved the receiving end of the battery problem in an entirely satisfactory manner. Isaacson, Thorlakson, Don Stickney, and Temple completed the list of men on the squad. Bad weather conditions handicapped early season practice and robbed the team of the much-needed practice games. The season opened with a double header against the State University which resulted in a double loss. Old Jupe Pluvius warmed up enough to allow the boys to trim a couple of high school teams, which provided some welcomed practice. In the opening conference game, the Vikings demonstrated their power by defeating St. Martins' College 10-3 on the Rangers' field. Wingaard and Cooper formed the battery, and the Collegians could garner but three hits. The team lineup is as follows: Wingaard, Patterson and Temple, pitchers; Wiley, first base; Odell, second base; Kemp, short stop; McClurkin, third base; L. Stickney, Estill and Isaacson, outfield; Cooper, catcher. Prospects are bright for one of the most successful of seasons, and the Tri- Normal Title is the object of Viking aspirations.

FRONT ROW-Hemmi, Grey, Brotnov, Gallenger, Marsden, Arnett, Kirk. The track season this year opened with about twenty- five men out, the majority of whom were raw material. There were those who were out for track as an educational course, and there were those who had taken an active part in track before. These latter were Earl Hemmi, a last year letterman and dash man, the 100-yard dash and the 220; Eddie Wingaard, a letterman of '25 from Bellingham, and also a letterman of U. S. C., the javelin; Frank Gallenger, a star of Whatcom High School, the half mile; Milton Meek, also a star of Whatcom High School, the mile; Kirby Baldry, another Whatcom man, the quarter mile; Bud Bunnell, a three-year trackman of Puyallup; Cecil Gray, who has had an excellent record through high school and the University of Idaho; and Zeke McClurkin, who placed in the broad-jump in '23, in the State High School meet. George Lundberg was a new-comer to track and has done very well in the 440. Dan Beighle has concentrated on the shot and discus with Roy Arnett and Wendell Iverson; Myron Estill worked with Eddie Wingaard in the javelin and also ran the 100-yard dash. Art Allen has worked on the sprints and the broad-jump. Tommy Marsden, a patient, conscientious trainer, has been our two-miler. Other men who have turned out consistently are Kenny Brotnov, Ladd Smith, Barney Chichester, Talmadge Gray, K. Smith, and Parkko. The track schedule for this season consisted of four meets. In the first of these was the U. of W. Relay Carnival in which we entered Earl Hemmi in the 100-yard dash and a medley relay team. Hemmi placed second in the class B century, while the relay team took third in their event. The other three meets were with the U. of W. Frosh on May 7 at Seattle, with C. P. S. on May 14 at Bellingham, and with Ellensburg and Cheney (Tri-Normal) here on May 21.

Pre-season forecasts indicate that the 1927 Viking tennis team will be one that will compare well with past squads. So-called critics anticipate an easy victory in the annual tri-normal melee, to be held May 21, two weeks after this publication goes to press. Foremost among those who will wear the Viking colors this year is Nel Robinson, a young Seattle right-hander. In four months at Bellingham he has yet to lose a set in practice or tournament play. This year's second man is Bob Fisher, last year a member of the Whatcom High School team. Myer Thal, the southpaw, who was a finalist in last year's city championship, seems reasonably sure of holding third place. It is planned to use Robinson and Fisher for singles and to pair Thal with the Viking first man as the school's doubles combination. The tournament ran off to determine this year's team provided a number of interesting matches. The records of the three men who eventually landed on the team are: Robinson d. Kellogg 6-0; 6-0, d. Keplinger 6-0; 6-3, d. Houlton 6-2; 6-0, d. Kellam 6-0; 6-4 d. Mock 6-0; 6-1, d. Fisher 7-5; 6-4, d. Fisher 6-3; 6-2, d. Thal 6-1; 6-1. Bob Fisher lost two matches to Robinson, and one early-season affair to Bill Mock. His string of victories include Houlton 6-2; 6-0. Mock 5-7; 6-1; 6-0. Kellam 6-2; 6-3 and Thal 8-6; 6-2. Myer Thal advanced to third place by mastering Kellogg 6-1; 6-1; Sumner Kellam 6-2; 15-13, Houlton 6-2; 6-4, and Mock 6-4; 6-3. The men on the squad below these first three rank in the following order: Kellam, Mock, Keplinger, Norby, Houlton, Schneider, Thompson, Huff and Kellogg. Intra-mural tennis will afford an opportunity for less experienced players to gain tournament experience. Norby and Houlton are two of the early season Farrules.

It was introduced this year as one of the major sports in girls' athletics and so great was the enthusiasm shown that it was necessary to divide the players into sections or groups, in order that all might have an opportunity to play. The game was played on the ball field, paralleling the football field, little or no attention being paid to the weather. Rain or shine, those teams were there, ready to go. After a few weeks of practice, spent in learning the game, intramural teams were organized; namely, Whitesocks, Wildcats, Mules, and Sockies. These teams were chosen regardless of whether or not the players were freshmen or sophomores; thus they afforded an excellent opportunity for those outstanding players to show what they could do, and helped toward the choosing of class teams later on. Of the four intramural teams, the Whitesocks proved to be the winners of the championship. About the middle of the quarter, class teams were chosen and a schedule of interclass games arranged. These games proved to be very interesting as the teams were well matched and a very fine brand of soccer was played by both Freshmen and Sophomores. The end of the season saw the Sophomores emerge victorious, having won the two games by a very narrow margin. The scores stood 2-0 and 1-0. Owing to the extreme popularity of this game, it is planned to make it one of the regular major sports in girls' athletics of this school.

Forty-eight enthusiastic girls responded to the call for hockey players, and lined up on the field for the first turnout. No, they couldn't all play at first, but they soon learned. The game was played on the athletic field, where the bright orange and green blazers worn by the opposing teams were very much in evidence throughout the sports season. To eliminate the numerous bruises and skinned shins, hockey shin guards were purchased, the players thereafter emerging armed for battle. Intramural teams were organized in this sport, a very successful series of practice games following, the Speeders and Rushers running true to their names. The organization of class teams followed the close of the intramural series, and after a season of hard-fought games the class championship went to the Sophomores by scores of 4-0 and 2-0. This sport has long been popular among the girls of the school and will continue to be one of the major sports for women.

With fifty girls on hand for the first volley-ball practice, this sport started off with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest which lasted all through the sports season, making volley ball one of the most successful of all the games played this year. As the practices went on, a great deal of skill and sportsmanship were exhibited and the organization of intramural teams found four strong and skillful groups competing for first place. As in all other sports, each group took unto itself a descriptive name and then proceeded to live up to the name. These teams were called Invaders, Skyrockets, T. N. T.'s, and Slammers. A fine form of volley ball was played by both Freshmen and Sophomores in the interclass games. Some of the most thrilling games of the season were played in this series. Owing, perhaps, to their added year of playing and to their superior strength, the Sophomores won the championship, after a series of hard- fought games by the scores of 15-7 and 15-9. Both teams are to be commended on the fine sportsmanship which they displayed consistently throughout the entire season.

Zak5a etafLC The fact that basketball is the oldest girls' sport in this school does not mean that enthusiasm is dying out with age. Between fifty and sixty girls reported at the first practice, and the sport retained its popularity throughout the entire season. This was mainly due to the organization of intramural teams which afforded oppor-tunity for everyone to participate in games. Seven intramural teams were organized and chose the following names: Viqueens, College-Humors, Pigmies, Stubtoes, Hoopsters, Basketeers, and Ringers. The Viqueens and College Humors tied for championship when each team had played six games. Two weeks before the close of the basketball season, class teams were organized. Two fast and skillful first teams were chosen and played very interesting and close games. The Freshmen through surprising skill and team work succeeded in wresting the championship from the Sophomores by the scores 10 to 22 and 18 to 22.

At its first meeting of each quarter each or-ganization elects a representative to serve that quarter as a member of the council. Besides these there are the faculty representatives, Miss Jones, Dean of Women; Mr. Marquis, Dean of Men; Miss Johnson, Social Director of Edens' Hall, and Miss Rosene, chairman of the faculty committee on students' organizations. Each organizations is required (1) to furnish the council with its yearly calendar, (2) to furnish HILDA F. ROSENE all records and other necessary information; (3) and to have a representative at all the meetings of the council. It is also expected to abide by the decisions of the council when con-troversies arise, such as when two clubs' affairs fall upon the same date. Not only does this council supervise these organizations and straighten out difficulties, but it also encourages participation in all-school activities and develops a spirit of co-operation of inestimable value to the school.

It was organized for the purpose of creating common interests among the men, and functions as a means of giving expression to these interests. During the year at special men's assemblies the men have an opportunity to discuss together their various interests and their relationship and responsibility as a group to the school. At this time also the men have an opportunity to hear prominent speakers who have messages of special interest to them. The club sponsors two outstanding social events during the school year: the men's informal, which is held at Edens Hall during the fall quarter, and the men's smokeless smoker which is held in the gymnasium during the winter quarter. The smoker this year was an outstanding success. I't was the one strictly all men affair and had a lasting value in the spirit of fellowship that it promoted. Besides the various social activities associated with the Men's Club, the organization maintains the school fire department and has charge of the policing of all athletic contests.

The program for the year included many different functions, for the club is very active in all school affairs and is an organization not lacking a most enjoyable social side. Chief among its small functions are the initiation in the fall, the winter-quarter home-coming banquet, and the picnic in the spring quarter. Not only was the club active during the Home-coming festivities but also during the Viking Vodvil, the primary spring quarter event.

Recognition is given by this society to those who measure up to its standards, which demand doing a high grade of work consistently. Except for a banquet held in the spring quarter, the society is largely inactive, meeting only to vote in new members. A record showing the achievements of all her former members is kept by the society. Every year members in various parts of the country write letters telling about the various lines of work they are pursuing. This is made a feature of the spring home-coming banquet. Each one feels a great pride in the success of his fellow members as it brings honor not only to the society itself, but to the school of which it is a part-the Alma Mater.

The Camera Club, an organization of students interested in amateur photo- graphy, aims not only to develop interest in this work in the student body as a whole, but also to develop the ability of the club-members along this line. The program for the year consisted of talks on photography in general, on the camera, on composition, on silhouette photography, and the chemistry of photo-graphy, how the picture is made, etc. Of great value to the club and to the school in general is the Weekly Camera News, a bulletin which portrays the activities of school life as well as displays the ability of the club-members. The club also furnishes a practical plan for securing snapshots for school publications in a really efficient manner. OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR AL BuowN . . . . . . President LULU ELIOTT . . . .
