HAYS Page Nineteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 20 ---------- Evening in the Olympics Where lofty cedars lift their heads And bow before the evening breeze, Where twilight pours its last weak rays Among the sleepy hemlock trees- There is where at close of day I pause and muse in silence sweet, And ever, from these hours, remain The echoes of a sweet refrain. While the twilight shades sink lower Upon Olympic's rugged hills, Where Docewallip's ceaseless flow Is formed of many mountain rills, I see the sun's receding gold Outpoured upon the river's strand. Then, far away from east to west, Bold Darkness lifts his shadowy crest. MARGARET A. MOSSFORD.

Page Seventy ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 71 ---------- Senior Class Poem A Prayer We pray not, Lord, for easy things to do, As forth we go to enter in Life's stride; We ask not that Thy hand may trace for us A path so full of happy harmony That naught is seen of sorrw, toil, or pain. We leave our life of being taught, O, God, Inspired to go to lives more frail than ours,- To children, ready for a shaping hand,- To make or mar the clay entrusted us. O! teach us, Lord, to see thy great design; Teach us to mold each vessel for Thy use, To learn from Thee when best to do, or wait. When, in the turmoil that each day brings forth,- The work "that bids not sit, nor stand, but go,"- Let not the thrills and inspiration wane Which now impels us onward to the task, And burnishes with gold that hazy land Of future days and opportunities. When each to-morrow shall become to-day And present needs efface the brimming past, O, may the gladd'ning impulse still return And fill again our hearts with joy, for this Our labor in the needy world of men. And, Lord, in all our striving, keep us true! Burn from our thoughts the greed for gold or gain; Keep out of sight all sense of selfish aim; Make us to feel as ours each childish pain,- Each vital interest, be it joy or woe, Till, thru us, Thou thyself art felt to be The Heart of sympathy,-and we shall know That gladness comes by giving others joy!

The aforesaid document, purporting to be the last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of the Bellingham State Normal School, is on this second day of June, Nineteen-Fifteen, admitted to probate. WALTER R. FEGLEY, Judge of Superior Court. Bellingham State Normal. Page Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 75 ---------- Class Prophecy AND it came to pass in the first days of Nash, that a great plague came upon the land in the form of a Senior Class meeting. And behold, the Captain of the Guard, Deerwester, dreamed that he dreamed a dream. And great sadness came upon him for he was not able to interpret. And he dreamed that he called unto him a certain Senior, who was wont to sleep, and dream much, and told him his dream in this wise: "Lo! I saw twenty great stars, and more than one hundred fifty smaller stars, scattered throughout the four corners of heaven. And the twenty great stars were not, and the one hundred fifty smaller stars came together and appeared as one great star. When, lo! the one star broke into many shapes and colors, and I saw them as people, clothed in curious raiment and running about as in great joy and prosperity.." The interpreter of dreams, having learned the meaning of things in his Philosophy Classes, spake thus: "This is the interpretation of what you have told: The twenty great stars are as twenty years of labor, and prosperity and peace on the earth. The one hundred fifty smaller stars are the Seniors of Nineteen-Fifteen, scattered to the ends of the earth in the twenty years of peace. And yet in twenty years they shall be brought together as in one body, and you shall see them as persons and friends." And the Captain of the Guard saw that the interpretation was good. And, lo! as he slept, he dreamed again, and the twenty years were fulfilled, and the Class of Nineteen-Fifteen were gathering from all the land to attend a great feast in the radiant banquet-room of a changed Edens Hall. In the most prominent place in the reception line, as host, stood the Ruler of the Campus, Orrin Anderson. At his side stood Lew Greene, one so mighty in learning that his reward had been the Chair in Sociology at Columbia University. There stood Margaret Meek, chosen by the people to be Chief Keeper over all the Schools of Washington. And, lo! there was Lue Earnst, declared by the teachers of the nation, most fit to be a leader, for she is President of the National Education Association. In the line was Alice Reed, now Registrar, for it had come to pass that she had served worthily as Senior Secretary. Lo! in these days she was set over many, and was wont to use her hours in keeping the flocks from destroying the green hillsides of the Campus. There, too, were others gracious and wise; the Dean of Women, Vernie Smith, Mrs. Tupper, whom the Ruler of the Campus had set over all the Training School, and without whom no one could move hand or foot. There was Claude Manley, Guard over the High School, for before him had been Ed. Olson, who having taken unto himself a wife, was cast out and declared ill-favored to maintain the ideals of that department in Practice Teaching. There were Theresa Tromp and Anna Breum, bearing the marks of mighty teachers of History in the School,-Phillips and Young, clothed in middies of many colors, for these had been sought out to teach Tennis and Gymnasium in the School. And this was all the number in the receiving line on the evening of the great feast. Yet, as they waited, there was a sound as of the rushing of the Page Seventy-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 76 ---------- tide, and over the whole earth, Seniors from the north, east, south, and west, began to pitch their tents towards Bellingham, and the great banquet hall. Who are these first to arrive, led by Captain Herre, who has sought them out from all the City? There pass Mrs. Korthauer and her hand-maidens, Jaquith, McLeod, Mansfield, Howe, Hayward, Whittaker, and Hatt,-all Keepers of the Roeder School. As these reach the end of the line, there was the sound of the flutter of mighty wings, and a great, dark cloud settled. Here was Weina Granberg, of the City of Astoria, with her eero-jitney, bringing many from the land of San Francisco and Portland. They enter. "Babe" Walker, Associate Manager of the rubber plantation in Mexico, and there were precious stones on her hands, and upon her hair, the likes of which were not to be found in all the land,-nay not among kings and mighty rulers; Anne Brown, with her husband, a mighty man of healing, and five stalwart sons, good to look upon. With them came Harriet Mendenhall, the Captain of all the Fields of Play throughout the land; Jessie Lieser, the Patroness of Learning in the University of California; Mabel Jackson and Bertha Simpson, counted as worthy of high honor in San Francisco, because of their profitable labor in the Associ. ated Charities. And, lo! as he dreamed, he was filled with wonder at the tents covering the Campus, over toward High Street, and whence came that nickering of horses? Maidens Bassett and Beach were proclaimed as arriving in the land, with a prodigious pony show. With them was Adda Jones, the tight-rope wonder, and all marveled at the revelation of the value of balance exercises in P. C. Methods. And it came to pass that Mary and Edith, the daughters of Davis, came a three-days' journey from the city of Chicago, bringing with them their families and their household goods and their trunks, and all that was theirs; rejoicing that they had returned to stay in the Land of Bellingham, after lo! these many years. And there came Edith and Ethel her sister, from Arizona, where they passed the fleeting days, demonstrating the Dellinger Method of teaching wisdom to the youth of the Nation's High Schools. The author of the Method arrives with one, who is known in the gates and sitteth among the elders of the land." Behold as he dreamed he saw a great Ford driven by Lytton Swartz, and bearing many from the East: Ernest, son of Neely, and his good wife; Ellen McClung Vanderbilt, J. H. Jones, once the stay and support of the World Peace Movement, now possessor of the wondrous Columbian Theatre, on Broadway,-and, lo! there was much sadness in the waiting audience at New York that night, for he had brought the leading lady, Inga Larsen. And it came to pass that from the land of South America, came men and maidens, to the ruler's great feast. For, behold, in the years before, Arthur Smith, having chosen a maiden for his wife, had sought out Rev. Wayne Bonser, at the third hour. The ceremony over, he fled into South America, where he was put in command over the Bon Marche extension. As the plenteous years brought forth gain in handfuls, there had been sent unto him Sue Ewart as advertising agent. The business then produced in such plenty that they must needs call Donald Croy and Helen Beck and Helen Day, to help number the increasing Page Seventy-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 77 ---------- dollars. From this land came, too, Christine Victor and Nora Williams, Keepers of the Bon Marche's tea- room; finest among all nations. From another land of the South came Abbie Crepeau, who dwelt in the great City of Panama, where she had found and cared for her true love through years of yellow fever. With them came their governess, Dawn Jennings, and their stenographer, Jessie Busfield. In the dream, as these neared the end of the Hall, still others stood in the door-way: Mary Kent and Ruth McClelland, with the goodmen of their houses, rich in railroads and art galleries. These had returned in haste from the season of Music at Vienna. Lo! with them were Varsilla Geberoff, and Luella Airth, who had left for the few days, their work of years,-the service of stretching out their hands to the strangers of Ellis Isle. Christine Johnson and Elva Boucher caused rejoicing among the whole congregation, for, lo! the last fifteen years had seen them serving as missionaries in Siberia. The Captain of the Guard was disturbed in his dream to know what had led Elva to choose to walk the earth alone. Where had-, but other guests distracted his thoughts. Hall, Holmes, and Cook, the Keepers of "Olde Faithful Inn," were just announced, when a swift-running messenger brought word into the Ruler of the Campus. He read the same to the people: "Greetings: Behold in the land there is a great scarcity of Indians and cowboys. These must still provide for the winter's demand in the 'movies.' While they are yet in the land we cannot come." From Loretta Murphy, Anna Hudson, Florence Felter. Hereupon there was weeping and rending of garments in the congregation. Sorrow was soon tured to rejoicing by the arrival of Donald Mair's private yacht, bearing friends from the many Nations of Europe. In that hour came Martha Sonju, the Sociologist, from the University of Christiania; Ethel Martin, known in those days as prima donna; Lee Sherwood, famed for her lyric verse; Helen Byles, who had left her chateau in Britainy; Flora Lachmund, the popular American peeress from England. After a romantic youth, she now looks well to the ways of her household. Elida Nordeen and Carrie Docherty, who had come this long way, bringing their husbands, who had been sought out and sent into the lands of Belgium and Russia, as consuls and advisers. There came, too, Mrs. Bleam, Hallie Brennesholtz, Bada Bergren, So- Surely Emily, Olive Rohrbaugh, and Mary Sutton, clothed in rich garments, bearing the marks of Paris, glad to return from a three-weeks sojourn in the wilderness of the Nile, where they had been led by Ethel Storms, Martha Carson and Mrs. Taylor, learned in the wisdom of archaeology. Yet in the same strong vessel came Rose Peterson, Ruth Van Zandt and Louise Abbott, who had been sent to spy out the progress of learning in all the nations throughQut the earth. And it came to pass that they brought with them Rachel Van Devanter, the President of the Federation of Women's Clubs in America. And as he looked to see who was with her, the Captain of the Guard beheld that it was one known by all,- Mrs. Vaughn, Lecturer and International President of the Y. W. C. A. Who are these in white kid gloves and raiment of beauteous colors? Lo! Aida Uddenberg, with her son, a comely youth; one much learned in the science of Orthodontistry. There, too, are Nan Skally and Mary Dooley, with their husbands, who left the interpretation of the law, in Page Seventy-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 78 ---------- the days when Avis Bowman closed her "Home for Divorced Young Women," but, lo! now they are in their years of plenty as dealers in houses and lands. In rich apparel there follow stately matrons, with the bearing of those who rule many servants. These the Captain knew in other years as Theo Lewis, Corrine Lachmund, May Ramberg, and Maude Kiner, missionary, and pin-money abounds for these through the writing of model lesson plans for the much-put-upon Practice Teachers. Fay Shepherd is there, too, for she and her goodman have left their flocks in the enfolding hills of Idaho, to come to the great feast, where they will meet one wise and' prosperous in caring for his Australian flocks, David Ruchman. Who are these with gay countenances and high-heeled shoes, and this summer's hats? These are Annie Shannahan, Mrs. Royal, Vivia Suti, Elsie Perry, Marie Chapman, and Elva Nuttall, who have excelled all the daughters of the earth as stenographers and milliners and dealers in ladies' raiment. And it came to pass that others entered in plain attire,-stiff collars, and dark blue suits of serge. The Captain knew these as Maidens Westby, Newell, Mackey, Carlson, and Carroll. These are they who have endured and succeeded in the teaching profession, and are come from all parts of the United States. Lo! there came some belonging to the same uniform: Katherine Barry, Judge over the Schools of the City of New Orleans, and her good helper, Josephine Beatty,-and Mary Rees, the maker of a better system, whereby the nation may train up its children to be strong and graceful. In that hour there was much mourning at W. S. C., for the Classes in Campustry were closed in those days that Frances Riggs, the Captain of the department, might go into the Land of Whatcom to the reunion. And as he dreamed the Captain of the Guard saw, in the early years, Clara Brown leave her Agricultural Station in Iowa, for a home in a great city in the Land of Missouri. And, behold! there grew up thistles in her land until in later years, Nellie Deir and Genevieve Finnegan, went forth to make a home for weary teachers of the children of the earth. The former Clara Brown, he saw pass down the line, but these must needs stay in the Land of Iowa, and serve their fellows. As the evening wore on, the company seemed to be waiting for someone-? The Hawkins Orchestra discoursed sweet music. The maidens, Holiday, Houghton, May, and Sells, performed the Irish lilt. Governor Van Pelt, of Oregon, came. Lottie Crawford, Emma Buvinghausen, and Ella King, makers of law in the Land of Washington, arrived. In the assembled host was Grace Munson, since Hofmann, the writer of musical notes in the Ladies' Home Journal. There were Frances Greene, the Editor-in-Chief of the "Review of Reviews," and her associate, Phoebe Read, going forth into their midst to interview the celebrities. Ruth Cartwright was there, making wondrous sketches of wondrous garments. Amidst a great shout, Arthur Sanden, the mighty with the brush, arrived. He bore a portrait of the Foreign Minister to China, whom the Captain of the Guard knew as Dr. Nash, the former ruler. Vida Reid and Josephine Blixt went about debating the passing of the Psychology of "Reaction, Adjustment and Consciousness." Ada Astel and Nina Battersby passed swiftly down the line, and among the host of friends, and departed into the far country of Hawaii; for, lo! they Page Seventy-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 79 ---------- had there sought out homesteads and their leaves of absence were but another week. But still the feast is delayed! Frank Givin began to demonstrate the value of his matrimonial bureau among those of the blue serge suits. Maglaughlin waited to take a great flashlight picture of the assembled host, when lo! the Captain of the Guard heard sweet music, and he knew his old favorite, as Gertrude Foley and Edda Quinby sang, "Hail, Normal Hail!" and lo! Secretaries Thibert and Steward entered the room, followed by Senator Utike and the First Man in the Land, President Odle. The music grew louder and less sweet, as of a bell. With an unhappy start the Senior Adviser heard the voice of the Ruler, Dr. Nash, and he spake thus: "I am sure we have all enjoyed the speaker of the morning. You may now pass to your classes!" Life is a sea of years, my dears! The little waves are the hours, Our craft is gay and stout and young, our sails are sweet sea flowers. The moon gleams bright upon the sea, as we merrily float along, We fear not, for we know Life's gales will find our lips with a song. And so we venture away from the shore, where we've played with the shallows and shells, The wind is low like a mother's voice, as we ride the balmy swells. We can't return for the winds blow far, toward a land we may not see, But we'll follow the breeze with a prayer in our hearts that we safely cross the sea. -R. O. V. Page Seventy-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 80 ---------- Page Eighty ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 81 ---------- The Juniors THE School Year is almost ended, and our sojourn here as Juniors will soon be over. An eventful and a pleasant year it has been too. As we look back over the path that we have trod, the difficulties we have encountered and overcome, we are inclined to pat ourselves on the back and say, "We have run a good race and fought a good fight." The Faculty, who have ministered daily to our intellectual appetites, will complain, we know, that this sentiment is too mild, and Seniors, Freshmen and Sophomores will stand back gaping in astonished admiration at our prodigious modesty. Modest, we are, but human; and since we are human, we do not hesitate to name a few of the things which testify to the versatility of cur genius and the unusual range of our activities. We have left no field untouched. We have done nothing by halves, but have instead put into everything undertaken an energy that has never yet bred failure. Shakespeare once said, "God has created some strange creatures in his time,- some of such a vinegar aspect that they wouldn't show their teeth in way of smile, though Nestor declare the joke to be laughable." We want to mention in passing that it is not such stuff that we are made of. We are absolutely unrivaled when it comes to the art of enjoying life. Consequently our "mixer," our party, our freak "stunts," and our "kid affairs" have a life-long berth in -many a memory. Why, we even had to laugh at the death of the Senior Spirit. It has been our cheerful outlook on life that has rescued the Seniors from the groveling slough of pessimism and has made them the jolly good fellows that they are. Our athletes have been awarded many laurels, and also have a monopoly on most of the hero-worship floating around this vicinity. In fact, we know not what defeat means except from another's definition. Our boys proved themselves invincible by taking the Senior's measure to the tune of 29 to 28. The girls of our Class exhibited their efficiency by winning a game from the Seniors, when a beautiful trophy cup hung in the balance. The majority of the Football Team was Juniors; the Basketball Team was evenly divided, but the Baseball and Track Teams are composed almost wholly of " 'Sixteen's," ::Our Athletes." Which almost says it all. We know, in many cases, it is boresome to call attention to some-thing that everybody knows. We know, too, that some things never grow old, hence what follows? The Junior Play enjoys the undisputed honor of being one of the greatest dramatic achievements aver staged in this School. The Junior "Kid Party" is heralded as the only event that ever inspired a member of our dignified Faculty to slide down a narrow "shoot-the-chutes." The Junior Class possesses more vigor, energy, ability, fair maidens, handsome young men, scientists, scholars and philosophers than any other Normal in Washington. Bellingham Normal used to apologize for eight or ten poets, but since our debut they boast of twenty-five or thirty. We have other qualities and accomplishments too numerous to mention. So as long as our Normal remains the peer of any in the Northwest, those who did most to make it so, will be remembered. "While Caesar is given what unto Cesar is due," we shall never hunger for encouragement or approbation. When others, by superior talent and super-energy surpass our Herculean feats, with one accord we shall exclaim, "What miracle has man wrought?" J. HARVEY LEACH.

Page Eighty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 86 ---------- Freshman Class Notes AS hundreds of students thronged the halls and recitation rooms of the Normal, the first part of the year, there were none more enthusiastic and full of School Spirit than were the Freshmen. We made our initial appearance with a Class demonstration in Assembly, giving our original Class Song and Class Yells. Then came the Hallowe'en party, with Miss Knowles as hostess, and Mr. Philippi as host. That alone would be enough to assure its success. After a delightful evening of games, refreshments were served and toasts were given by members of the Class. But the hands of the clock would keep moving to the time when the heartless Janitor stalks about the halls, wearing that well-known frown, bringing to a close an evening of fun and frolic. Rumblings may still be heard of the Freshman- Sophomore excursion to Mount Chuckanut on February twenty-second. Refreshments were served at the summit by the girls, while Mr. Philippi and the boys performed new and original gymnastic stunts, sensational to behold, but dangerous to the spectators. Miss Jensen and Mr. Bever showed their skill by juggling "weenies" over the flames. The Freshman-Sophomore party, held in the Domestic Science room the evening of March thirteenth, was a huge success. The roll call was answered with Irish jokes, games were played, and later ice cream was served. Miss Vulliet entertained the Class at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, March twenty-seventh. To those of us who are leaving this year, it may seem that our good old days are over, but we have formed friendships that will last forever, and our Class Spirit will be carried on through the years to come. Onward! is our watchword as we march thru Normal Halls; Forward! is our slogan, within its old gray walls; Our colors high above us, our banners to the wind, The Future lies before us, the Past we leave behind, No duty e'er shall daunt us, no coming Class excel, In the work we've done so nobly, so ably, and so well. Then Forward! is our slogan, our watchword and our song, A heritage behind us, we leave when we are gone.

Over on Lummi Island a number of girls had gathered around a bright fire in a comfortable cabin. These girls had returned early in order to be present at this meeting in September. All were happy and enthusiastic over the plans for their work. What was this organization, and what were these plans? If you were a new student, at the beginning of the term, you could readily guess, for were you not met at the station and escorted up to the Normal School? Did you find any flowers in your room? And did you see the girls in the halls the first day of School wearing a badge with the word "Guide" upon it? CABINET OFFICERS OF THE Y. W. C. A. McAbee, Haycox, Pierce, Day, Nordeen, Gebaroff, Vaughan, Thomasen, Sperry, Airth Chapin, Paulsen. Rohrbaugh Now you know that this was a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet members. The work of this Association started the first day and has continued throughout the entire year. First, a reception for the Faculty and students was given in September. The three hundred who were present were welcomed by Miss Nordeen, the President of the Association, Dr. and Mrs. Nash, members of the Advisory Board, and all the members of the Cabinet. The color scheme was yellow and purple. This reception afforded the opportunity of beioming acquainted, and friendships were begun which have lasted throughout the year. During September and November, every Monday evening, tea was served in the Y. W. C. A. rest-room. A group of young ladies of the student-body, were invited each Monday, until all had been served. These teas were very informal and the entertainment gave each young Page Ninety-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 95 ---------- lady an opportunity to become acquainted with the Cabinet members and others who were present. The first meeting of the year was held on Sunday, September the thirteenth, with Miss Sperry as leader. She brought an inspiring message from the Keswick Conference, which she attended in England. At our first regular Thursday meeting we were fortunate in having Dr. Norton, a medical missionary, from Korea, with us. Dr. Norton was here on a visit to his sister, Miss Norton, of our School. The following Thursday, Miss Paulson conducted a Bible Study Rally, and classes were organized in various homes where the girls board. November fifth, a recognition meeting was held. Miss Chapin, the Vice-President, presented more than a hundred new members. They were received by the President, Miss Nordeen, who gave a word of welcome. In harmony with other associations throughout the world, we observed the World's Week of Prayer. These meetings were opened on Sunday, November eighth, by Miss Sands, and continued throughout the week. On the evening of November twentieth, our annual banquet was held. Members of the Faculty, Advisory Board, and about one hundred twenty-five young ladies were delightfully entertained in the dining- room of Edens Hall. Miss EdnaoLawrence, a former Cabinet Member, was our clever toast-mistress. Miss Elizabeth Fox, Student Secretary of the Northwest, visited the Y. W. C. A., November twenty-second and twenty-third. She held conferences with the Advisory Board and Cabinet Members, and at the Thursday afternoon meeting she told us, in a very vivid and interesting manner, of the work of Miss Mathews, who is General Secretary in Japan. The Association has given seventy-five dollars toward missionary work in Tokyo, Japan, and is paying the tuition of a little native boy, who is attending a mission school in Cuba. The next event was the Seventh Annual Bible Institute, which began February fourth. Mrs. Addison Campbell opened these meetings, Miss Springer, the Y. W. C. A. Secretary in Seattle, was also with us. Friday evening, Mr. Boyns, of Seattle, gave an illustrated lecture on the authenticity of the Bible, his subject being, "The Very Stones Cry Out." The meetings continued until the seventh, and we were greatly strengthened by the inspiration brought to us through the speakers. On February twenty-eighth we were favored by a visit from Mr. McClelland, Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement. He spoke in the regular Assembly Monday, on "The Call to the Foreign Field." He also spoke Friday afternoon. There were between one hundred ninety and two hundred present. There is a Student Volunteer Band in our School and a number of mission study classes. ,On Sehome Hill, Easter morning, there was a sun-rise meeting. Over one hundred were present to hear Miss Sand's inspiring Easter message. On Saturday evening, April tenth, Dr. Nash gave an illustrated lec-ture on 'he Passion Play. The proceeds of this lecture went toward helping our Association to furnish a room in the new City Y. W. C. A. building. We have been fortunate this year in having many good speakers, both from our own members, and from outside. Among them were the Page Ninety-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 96 ---------- following: Miss Fox, Dr. Nash, Miss Wynn of the City Association, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Springer of Seattle, Mrs. Billhorne, Miss Knowles, Mrs. Wood and Mrs. McAbee of Seattle. In addition to the regular work of the Y. W. C. A., there is a Cafeteria, which justifies its existance by its practical service to the School. The meals are prepared by a regular cook, and by four or five assistants, who work one period every day. The Cafeteria has furnished luncheons for three meetings of the Advisory Board, one for the Y. M. C. A., has given a banquet for the Cabinet Members of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Associations, and entertained several special speakers, making a total of about sixty-five guests. Apple Day and Hallowe'en were celebrated by an extra fine luncheon. The number served daily has run as high as one hundred twenty-five, the average for the entire year being about eighty-five. Through the service of the Cafeteria the Association has been able to meet numbers of the student body and Faculty, to render loyalty and service to co-workers, to the members of the Association, to the School, and to Christ, our beloved Master, to whom we look for approval of our labors. The Cabinet Members for 1915-16 are as follows: President - - - - - ALIENE PIERCE Vice President - - - - - - ALMA ARMSTRONG Secretary - - - - - - - - - FRANCES McCORKLE Treasurer - - - - - - - - - SADIE WELCH Committee Chairmen.

REFRAIN Skies like wild forgetmenots, at night so hung with stars; Skies like the flag, in early morn, so crossed by crimson bars; Skies like "the field of the Cloth of Gold," at noon so bright the sun; But the skies that wake the soul to song Are the skies when the day is done. I. Over the blue waves to the West, Where the Island hill top nods, After the sun nas sunk to rest In the garden of the Gods, June's own blossom in radiance grows Countless millions of them are spread- (Divinest of flowers, the bright hued rose.) Shading from trembling pink to red. Delicate masses of fragrant grace, They that were Rosemaids white and frail, Apollo but turned them his smiling face And they blushed into splendor along his trail. Earthward they turn, in their garments gay, Till, silvering all of the world's far rim, Over the mountains, creeps Twilight grey. The Sun God's sister following him. II. High from her chariot, moonbeams drift Down on the gardens of the West, Down through the sweet, sad, dusk they sift, Bidding the Rosemaids sink to rest. Over the blue isles of the sea, Over the ships with their masts so tall, Moonlight is falling tenderly- Diana's chaste fingers are over all Triumphs and splendors alike are dim Troubles and heartaches of the day, Burning and fresh in the hours just past, Gently and still-they are fading away Under the skies so thick with stars, Pale yet-in the half light from the West, Diana is healing Apollo's scars; Lulling resentful hearts to rest. REFRAIN Skies like endless seas of blue-at night, so soft and dim; Skies like clouds of fire, at morn, that rise from the crater rim; Skies like a patch of Buttercups, at noon, so bright the sun But the skies that woo the soul to rest Are the siies when the day is done. ?age Ninety-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 99 ---------- Thespian Page Ninety-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 100 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club Page One Hundred ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 101 ---------- Thespian, Dramatic Club The Thespians! The Thespians! Who are the Thespians? We are the Club of Cheers; We are the Club of tears; We are the Club who wins the heart By our work in Dramatic Art. O with good cheer and smiling faces we come again to the close of another successful year. June is nearly here, and with its comes the roses and all the first bloom of summer. But it is with a feeling of regret that we see this month approaching, for it means our separation and the end of many of our good times. Looking backward over the year's work we feel that it has been a great success, and that we have accomplished much in the line of dramatic work. The Thespian Club is not a club of a few active memberrs only, but a club of thirty interested and enthusiastic workers. The first three months were spent in the study of the "Movies," during which time roll call was answered by a quotation from some well-known moving picture actor. Several very interesting papers on the lives and works of some of our famous "Movie" actors were also read. During the remaining time we took up the study of the Modern Drama, which was entertaining as well as instructive. This was a very small part of the work done by the Thespian Club. In December, "A Christmas Carol" was given, which was a great success, and enjoyed very much by everyone. During the month of April, under the direction of Mrs. Smith, the Club presented three very interesting productions: "The Work-House Ward," by Lady Gregory; "Confessions," by A. Conan Doyle, and "The Land of Heart's Desire," by W. B. Yeats. "The Work-House Ward" was a scene in an Irish poor-house. Walter Kelly was Michael Mishell, and Harvey Leach was Mike McIntery, who suffered a great deal from rheumatism. Both were inmates of the poor-house. Vera Clayton was Honor Donohue, a sister of Michael Mishell, who mourned so much the loss of "poor John," her deceased husband. "Confessions," was a comedy in which a husband relates to his wife the experiences of his bachelor days. Of these experiences, which referred to his former feminine attachments, there seemed to be more than forty. The wife thereupon related her experiences in a similar way, the effect of which produced a startling effect upon her husband. Think of being left alone in a room with a young man, seated upon his knee, and returning a kiss. The husband's anxiety was relieved, however, when she explained that this experience occurred when she was but a child of three. Thus it goes to show that the experiences of one may appear very innocent in his own eyes, but very different when viewed from the standpoint of another. Helena Rouse made a very charming little wife, and Wallace Sutherland a handsome and devoted husband. Each portrayed much talent for such work, and the characters were cleverly represented. The heavy play of the evening "The Land of Heart's Desire," which One Hundred One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 102 ---------- is founded upon folk tales common among the peasantry, that tell of young brides being stolen away by fairies on May Eve. Marie, Shawn's young wife, can find no content in the dull round of domestic duties, nor in the doting love of her young husband. Living in dreamland, discontented, she calls upon the fairies. The call is answered; the fairies come, and then begins the struggle between the Priest and the Fairy Child for the spirit of Marie.

The Thespian Club is especially indebted to Mrs. R. W. Smith, the Faculty Adviser, for her splendid leadership and deep interest in the success of the Club, and wishes through the medium of THE KLIPSUN to extend td her our hearty and sincere thanks. The social functions of the year was the pleasant evening spent with Mrs. Smith at her home and the Valentine Party given at the Club Rooms. Several picnics and beach parties are being planned for the few weeks remaining of the School Year. So the year draws to its close, and the Thespians must go their several ways; but they will carry with them the memory of pleasant associations, and a profitable year's work; also the consciousness of added strength for the work of the future, and a readiness to enter the doors of opportunity which may open to them. Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Is everybody here a Thespian? We're a jolly bunch all right; We keep things humming day and night; That is why we keep a-saying We put THE in Thespian.

One Hundred Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 103 ---------- One Hundred Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 104 ---------- MEMBERS OF THE PHILOMATHEAN CLUB One Hundred Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 105 ---------- The Philomathean Club WHEN School opened in September, twenty-seven Philos hailed each other in the halls-twenty-seven out of the forty who had said good-bye in June. Philo-like, they got together immediately, and told all the things they had been doing while away in the summer, and all the things they hoped to do now that they were totogether with the winter before them. That was the first meeting bulletined as "Vacation Experiences." They wanted leaders for the work. days and the play-days which they planned, so they elected J. H. Jones President, Anne Brown Vice-President, Mosie Odle Secretary- Treasurer, Lew Greene Sergeant, and G. F. D. Vander Mei attorney. Everybody worked together, as usual, and things moved. In October the twenty-seven became forty, more than which are never in the Club at one time. That was after the initiation. It is through the initiation that ordinary people become Philos; therefore you must know that it is an initiation, for Philos are never ordinary. On November twenty-first, the Philos were the guests of Miss Jensen and Mr. and Mrs. Philippi, their parents and aunt. The occasion was the fifth birthday of the Club. Some of the Alumni, who had worked for the Club when it was a younger and less sturdy infant, came in to help celebrate. There were fair women and brave men, and toasts, and flowers, and all the things that go to make a party just right. The Philo Club has never been an athletic organization. That is not its purpose, but this year, when publicly challenged before all the School to play basketball, the Philo boys responded by defeating the challenging Thespians, while the Philo girls overwhelmed the Thespian girls and Alkisiahs by tremendous scores. Let it be said again, the Philomatheans do not consider themselves athletes, they do not even aspire to be such; but they are exceedingly versatile, so future challengers, Beware! About this time news came that the Belgians were in desperate condition as a result of war. The Philos, although closely attached to each other, are not selfish, and the report touched them. They answered the call with a public program, to which they charged ten cents admission, and the students turned out in such numbers that it was possible to advance forty-three dollars to those who are in need. The Officers for the Second Semester have been Mr. Shimmin, President; Helen Brown, Vice-President; Miss Houghton, Secretary- Treasurer; Mr. Greene, Sergeant-at-Arms; Mr. Nevins, Attorney. They have served faithfully and well. The Valentine Party was February twelfth. Although the Club enjoys many minor social affairs during the year, this was the second elaborate function. It was elaborate, body-and-soul satisfying. Hearts ruled, and Philos were willing subjects. The first picnic of the year was on Washington's Birthday, when the Philos hiked to the top of Mount Chuckanut. The day dawned cold and forbidding, but found only determination in Philo hearts, so One Hundred Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 106 ---------- abandoned its dread purpose and smiled benignly. The day was a rare one, well spent and not to be forgotten. The year is not ended as this goes to press. More projects will come to light and be carried happily through. Picnics and parties are ahead. But that is not all. Picnics and parties are merely the frosting that covers the more substantial stuff beneath. Every second Thursday, all through the year, the Philos have met for purposes of mutual education and entertainment. The programs have been worthy and without exception have left a message. They will continue to do so to the end of the year. After it is all combined and summarized, all the year's activity, the questions may fittingly be asked: What is the meaning of all this? What comes of it? Is it worth while? It means that throughout the year forty people have come together and given the best that they have to each other. Through this it means the enrichment of forty lives-the best accumulated thought and experience of each one of forty transmitted to every other one. It has meant happy hours, congenial fellowship, healthful work, and healthful play in company with kindred spirits. It has meant that forty people have felt the influence of one whose very existence spells service, one who must be known to be appreciated, Miss Jensen, the Club Supervisor and fountain-head of its life. What comes of it? Lasting friendship. Memories that will not be dulled while consciousness remains. An endless chain of people going out, bearing like ideals and purposes. Few of the twenty-seven who came to the Club this year from last year will be among the forty next year. The new members this year, those above the twenty-seven, will be the old members next year. And so in the following years. But there is no complete break. The one purpose is being advanced from personality to personality through it all. Is it worth while? Time alone can answer. But if present standards possess any ultimate value, the answer will be, Yes! "May this life bring you all the happiness you can stand, and only enough sorrow to show you the difference." One Hundred Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 107 ---------- ALKISIAH One Hundred Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 108 ---------- ALKISIAH CLUB One Hundred Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 109 ---------- Alkisiah Emblem THE year 1914-15 marks the most successful year in the history of our Club, it being the oldest Club in the Normal School. This organization began its year's work with but a few old members, as a large majority of Alkisiahs are holding positions of importance throughout the State. A public meeting was held shortly after the opening of the School year. New members were admitted and the officers were elected for the first semester. Joyce Day held the executive position, and Elizabeth Eggers, now an Alumni, acted as Vice- President, with Margaret Adams as hostess. Committees were appointed and these went to work with a will, and planned the work. The first function was a lawn party, where all became acquainted. We incidentally planted the bulbs for the Narcissus Sale at the same time. Next came the initiation, which was only approached by the one of the second Semester as to originality and devices. Miss Baker's home, too, with its alluring fire-place, seemed to have a charm of which the girls were never tired, especially with the pleasing hostesses there, ever-ready to welcome us. The Narcissus Sale was a financial success. A chafing-dish luncheon, the last social function of the first Semester, was cleverly planned by a committee, at the time of the election of new officers. Besides these social performances we had instructive programs every two weeks. These were based on the present-day problems, and were both musical and literary. The keen interest shown throughout by the members, demonstrated the quality of the programs. It goes to evince the capabilities of the Consuls, who had these in charge. These were the Misses Ethel Phillip, Arleen Cusick, Anna Breum, and Harriet Mendenhall for the first Semester. Gene Hicker, Maude Manley, Maretta Cook and Phoebe Reed discharged these duties the second Semester; both committees being ably assisted by our Faculty Adviser, Miss Baner. As part of her work as Secretary, Donna Pratt recorded these events. Miss Blake skilfully proceeded with the writing for the second Semester, and the Alkisiahs of the future will read of the great achievements of the Alkisiahs of 1914-15. We were also represented in The Mcssenqer every issue by our worthy Reporters, Maretta Cook and "Merry" Day, respectively. The second Semester found Miss Phillips as presiding officer, while Clara Fagstad ably assisted her. In appreciation of her artistic ability Miss Lola Moy was re-elected as Chairman of the Poster Committee. Miss Arleen Cusick took the place of Margaret Adams, as hostess. Committees were then duly appointed to prepare for our annual banquet; a custom which was established by our Club. This banquet One Hundred Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 110 ---------- is given by the Under-Classmen, and Alumni, with the Alkisiah Seniors and Faculty members as the "guests of honor." It was held March twentieth, at six-thirty P. M. At that hour all had assembled in the Club-room, from whence each Under-Classman escorted a guest of honor down to the dining-room. Our honored Principal, Dr. Nash, and President, Miss Ethel Phillips, led the procession. The entertainment between the courses showed further the ability of the Club, and the after-dinner speeches made a profound impression, showing the prevailing spirit among its members. Still another committee had been at work, and after our splendid repast, we enjoyed a social hour, which will long be remembered. Other events of the season were: The Valentine Party, the trip to Lummi Island, to Miss Baker's summer home, and our picnic on Chuckanut Mountain. Then last, but by no means least, was the presentation of "The Bird Sanctuary," a play of the highest type and very modern. The success of this new and novel play was due to the faithfulness of those taking part, and the loyal support of the Club Members. Thus we end this year, as it was begun, with a spirit of loyalty and harmony.

Dainty refreshments were served, while we listened to the vacation experiences of our members, and the new members keenly appreciated the warm welcome extended them by the old members. Little we realized the pleasure in store for us then. One of the greatest events of the year was the never-to-be-forgotten evening spent in the home of Dr. Mathes, where we were entertained with a pipeorgan recital, given by Mrs. Mathes, assisted by her daughter, Virginia. Then came the initiation! Oh, but it was startling, mysterious and funny! We were again initiated into the spirit of the H. L. S., when Miss Hays entertained us at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ludwig. Fol- One Hundred Thirteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 114 ---------- lowing a time-honored custom of the Club, we sang the old songs in the uncertain light of the fireplace. So much happened and so little room in which to tell it. Our meetings held on every other Thursday evening were very instructive and intensely interesting. Some of the subjects discussed this year were: "The Famous Actors and Plays Coming to Bellingham," "Ella Higginson," "American Music," "Conditions in Europe," "Peace," "Birds," and "Social Work in America." The Christmas Party in the Faculty Room, had the real Yule-tide spirit. We all received a gift from the beautiful tree and enjoyed our candy, nuts and pop-corn, while we sang the old carols before the open fire. The banquet given in the dining-room of the Domestic Science Department, was a splendid success. The color scheme was beautifully worked out in violet and cream, the Club Colors. Dr. and Mrs. Nash and the three Mid-Years, Misses Lewis, Ziese and Eaves, were our guests of honor. A number of the Alumni members were present also. Then came the charming Valentine Party given the Club by an Alumni member, Miss Lillian Grue. The pleasure freshest in our memory is the delightful evening spent with Miss Mead, near St. Patrick's Day. There are good programs yet to come, closing with our annual banquet. We deeply appreciate the educational and social advantages afforded us by this year's work, and most of all, the fellowship of our Faculty members, Misses Hays, Norton, Mead, Baxter, Sands, and Nickerson, and Mrs. Termaat; and our thirty loyal, kind-hearted girls. JUNE MATHENY, Reporter. One Hundred Fourteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 115 ---------- Chelan County Club SFTER School had started last fall, and the numerous mixers had begun, at which each one came labeled with her name and address, to make herself known, each girl from Chelan County discovered, to her surprise, that there were others from the land of the Big Red Apples. Immediately the idea of a Chelan County Club was thought of, and the first meeting was held with Edith Brisky and Vida Reid, at Tarte Hall. As there were only eight of us, we deter-mined from the start that quality, not quantity, should count with us, and it has. Unanimously we chose Miss Montgomery as our Club Adviser, and now, at the end of the year, we feel more than ever that our choice could not have been a better one, for our memories of the good times spent with her are the pleasantest. At the end of the first Semester, Miss Calla Van Cleave, who was a Mid-Year graduate, left us to fill a vacancy in the Cosmopolis school. We have kept in close touch with her, through "round robin" letters, which we have enjoyed receiving and answering. During the winter we have met once a month at the homes of the different members, but before the year is over, we expect to have enjoyed picnic trips to Toad Lake, Lummi Island, and other such places. The members of the Club are Ethel Milner, Florence Redford, Frances McCorkle, Edith Brisky, Anabel Rice, Myrtle Hayden, Calla Van Cleave, Miss Montgomery, Vida Reid. In June, when we all scatter to our homes, we know that our memories of the Chelan County Club will be among the pleasantest of our School year. Delphian Literary Society The Society known as Delphian was rather quiet during the first weeks of the School year. Did you think that it was therefore worn out, discouraged, or dead? Far fram it. That this inactivity was but a resting spell, a hibernation, from which it has issued refreshed and invigorated, later history has proven. Even the omission of celebrating its third anniversary with suitable pomp and ceremony, did not mean that society enthusiasm had died out, nor so much as smouldered. The efficient management of the President, who holds such firm, yet graceful, sway over all gatherings, the zeal and skill of the Vice-President, Grand Maker of Programs, with her assistant committee, and the serviceable good-will of the Secretary, have made the meetings since Christmas worth while. Even leaders, however, could have done little were it not for the cheerful aid of the other officers and of many of the girls who have shown themselves so reliable in their work, so willing in their spirit. All this has made our business meetings more successful than ever before. We have had to part with several of our valued members, to let them join organizations in the Normal proper, and we miss them sorely. Yet we hope that their successors may prove as progressive, as talented, as they. Next year we hope to exceed this year's attainments, making the name "Delphian" to stand not only for a means of bringing out our talents, but for very happy memories. One Hundred 'ifteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 116 ---------- SOCIAL-DEMOCRATIC CLUB One Hundred Sixteen ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 117 ---------- Social-Democratic Club ALTHOUGH the Social-Democratic Club was late in getting organized last fall, it has not been the least of the School organizations. Our first meeting was held November fourteenth, in Mrs. Thatcher's room. There were seven charter members present. Since then, our roll has grown to twenty-seven members. The aim and purpose of the Social-Democratic Club is to study and promote an interest in Socialism and Social Problems. During our numerous meetings of the year, we have had many alive, interesting questions of the day discussed. The open forum at the close of each meeting has proved instructing and interesting. The following is a calendar of the talks we have had during the year: December 22, Reading, "The Weavers," Mrs. Smith; "War," Claude Manley; "A $2,000 Wage," Albert Utike. February 4. "How a Great American Fortune Was Made." Mrs. Termaat; "Dreams and Builders," Ben Tidball. February 18, "Charlotte Perkins Gilman," Miss Baker; "Personal Observations of Child Labor," Mr. Mair; "Why American Mothers Fail," Mrs. Bleam. March 4, "Parasites," Miss Norton; "What Ford Wages Have Done," Vida Reid. March 18, "Community Center Work," Miss Montgomery; "A New School for the Workers," Claude Manley; Reading, "Her Letter," Inez Herre. April 8, "Social Responsibility," Dr. Ruge. April 15, "The Associated Press," Mr. Hungerford; "Initiative and Referendum in Oregon," Mr. Van Pelt. To the Misses June Matheny, Grace Munson, Olive Bowman, and Drake, we are grateful for the musical numbers on our programs. Sometime in May the Club will have a picnic at the Eldridge Avenue Beach. We are all looking forward to a fine time. As the Club closes this successful year, we leave our best wishes for the success of next year's organization, and express our appreciation of the support of the various members of the Faculty throughout this year.

The financial, social and athletic activities of the students were handled in a manner that reflects nothing but credit upon the retired Board of Control. Ex-President Greene was tireless in the service of the students, patiently and perseveringly fostering School Spirt, giving unselfishly of his time and energy for the advancement of the Association. His efforts were ably seconded by the remainder of the Board. The students were most fortunate in the Faculty members, one of whom they have re-elected; the other member to be chosen by the Faculty. Their judgment and business insight have been indispensable. Following are the duties and prerogatives of the Students' Association at the present time. These are but brief: The maintenance of a book-store in the building for the convenience of the students; publishing The Messenger monthly; the direction of athletics, and the promotion of the social side of student life. Under the passed regime, the book-store has reached the highest state of efficiency yet attained. This was due to the business ability of Page One Hundred Twenty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 122 ---------- A. Hall Smith, Manager of the store. His methods were responsible for an increase in the volume of business. There was always courteous treatment accorded the patrons, which added an advance over previous years. The Messenger was attractively written, cleverly illustrated, and artistically printed. The credit for this should be given rather to the Editors, Staff, and Business Manager, than the student body as a whole. Miss Frances Green had charge of the paper the entire year, and proved a most worthy editor. To Mr. C. C. Baughman, Business Manager, should be given great commendation, for The Messenger has never before reached such a high state of efficiency. This was due to the energies and capabilities of Mr. Baughman. The athletic ventures, during the year, were the most successful ever known in the Normal School. The Football team played a full season, and the Basketball and Baseball teams were to be congratulated on their very superior work. Financially, Basketball, Baseball and Track were self-supporting, and Football was nearer on a paying basis than ever before in the history of the School. The Students' Association welcomed the students at the beginning of the School Year with a Mixer; sent them home for the Holidays with memories of a Christmas party and tree, in their minds; then a Marathon to Chuckanut in the spring. At Mid-Year Mr. G. F. D. Vander Mei and Miss Calla Van Cleave finisihed their School work, and therefore retired from the offices of Secretary and Vice-President. Mrs. Vaughn and Miss Ruth Conner were chosen and proved very efficient successors.

The chorus of eighty-five voices was assisted by soloists from the City of Bellingham, and accompanied by Mrs. W. Bridge Jones, at the piano; and by a picked orchestra of twenty pieces under the direction of Mine. Davenport-Engberg, widely known for her organization and leadership of the Symphony Orchestra, of this City. For months the chorus had been rehearsing weekly, and when the test came, was not found wanting in volume, attack, shading, dramatic quality, or any other technicality of ensemble work. Three choruses, "Bael, We Cry to Thee," "He Leaveth the Thirsty Land," and "Be Not Afraid," were especially well done. Of the solos, the heaviest part, that of Elijah, was very ably executed by Mr. C. B. Harter, baritone, who portrayed the deep feeling of pathos and triumph with much expression. Mr. Harrison Raymond took the tenor solos, singing two heavy arias with fervor and keen appreciation. Miss Irene Hurd's rich contralto was at its best in the aria, "O, Rest in the Lord," and in the trio, "Lift Thine Eyes," sung without accompaniment by Miss Hurd, Mrs. Nash, and Mrs. Deerwester. The soprano solos were taken by Mrs. G. W. Nash and Mrs. Frank Deerwester, of our own Faculty circle. The latter ably met the expectation of the audience that her participation in former musical events warranted. The duet, "Help Me, Man of God," sung with Mr. Harter, was particularly well rendered. While this was Mrs. Nash's first appearance with the Normal Chorus, the ease, grace, and power with which she sang, "Hear Ye, Israel," one of the heaviest arias ever written, has already given her an enviable reputation. Altogether the occasion was one worthy of long remembrances, and of the hearty congratulations that have come to the Director for the excellent rendition of the best and most difficult thing of the kind ever given in Bellingham. Much praise is due Mrs. Thatcher for her successful accomplishment and her great service, both to the City and the School in assuming the responsibility of the undertaking, and in bringing our Institution in line in this respect with the largest and best schools of the country. And it was with great pleasure that the Chorus later acknowledged its debt to Mrs. Thatcher by presenting her a beautiful ornamented baton as a token of appreciation for her labor and service.

The history of the Club has not been as eventful as in years gone by, but each event has been of importance and the members have all thoroughly enjoyed the Club throughout the year. The first meeting was held on the twenty-fourth of September. October first was the first business meeting and the following officers were elected: Mr. Lewis Gloman, President; Mr. M. F. Odle, Secretary- Treasurer. At the same meeting it was decided that we meet every Thursday evening at six-thirty o'clock. This plan has been rigidly followed. November twelfth we were invited to the home of Mr. Lewis Gloman, and there spent a most enjoyable evening. November nineteenth was spent at the home of Mrs. Thatcher, our most capable Director, where we were most royally entertained. We also became acquainted with the brand-new grand-son of our Director, and at once voted him into the Club as an active member. His father says that he is a credit to the Club, as he bursts out in song every once in a while. Friday, December eighteenth, the Club made its first public appearance, when we rendered two selections from the Emerson Collection. January thirtieth, the second business meeting and election of officers was held. The officers who had so capably filled the offices the first Semester, were unanimously elected to serve another term. March second was the date of our second appearance, when we sang at the regular Tuesday afternoon musicale. This is the history of the Club, as we go to press, but history is still in the making.

During the first Semester there were more members enrolled than ever before. The Club has preserved all the old traditions by doing its duty in supplying music for an occasional Assembly, or evening entertainment, and for Commencement, and gave its Annual Recital this year in May. Besides this, the Club has started two customs which it hopes to have continued in the future years. The one is the weekly program, by two or three members of the Club. This has proved a great success, for besides the many delightful musical numbers which have been rendered, there have been many instructive and interesting papers read. The second custom is the adding of some little touch to the Music Room, which will give it a more Club-like appearance. This year the Club has placed a burlap covering over part of the blackboard, and the pictures of musicians, which have been placed on it, add greatly to the attractiveness of the room. Nor has the Club been too busy working to spend some of its time socially. The afternoon spent at Mrs. Thatcher's will always remain one of the most pleasant memories of this year. Mrs. Thatcher has also shown splendid taste in the slection of music this year, and the afternoons spent in learning it have been an inspiration to every member of the Club. The Normal Ladies' Quartet THE Quartet, composed of Eva McAbee, Naomi Platt, Ethyl Martin, K and Alma Armstrong, has been one of the busiest organizations this year. Besides appearing at the Normal on different occasions, they have been called upon frequently to sing for entertainments given in the City. Among the first of these was the reception given to Dr. Nash, by the Faculty and the people of Bellingham. Later on they sang at the Y. M. C. A. several times, once giving an entire program for the Lecture Course there. The pleasantest time of the year, however, was when, with Mrs. Thatcher, their Director, and Helen Foster as accompanist, they gave a recital in the school- house at Lawrence, a small town about fourteen miles from Bellingham. Incidentally there was a candy sale afterwards, and it would be safe to say that they received their share. Nor will the Quartet forget very soon how they had to help shove the big car around the school-yard in order to persuade the engine to start for home. For it was one of those clear December nights when engines seem to have an aversion to being aroused from their evening nap. But once the engine was started, it played an accompaniment to the quartet songs all the way home. The Quartet also worked up some sacred numbers, and furnished the Easter programs for the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. afternoon services. At present, with the aid of Charlotte Hill, they are working on the quintet, "Winken, Blynken and Nod," by Ethelbert Nevin. This promises to be one of the best numbers of the year, and will be given at the Annual Recital of the Choral Club. Page One Hundred Forty-'lhree ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 144 ---------- Choral Club Concert THE Choral Club of the Normal School, under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher gave the final concert of the school year at the Normal, May nineteenth. The first part of the program consisted of choruses, violin numbers by Miss Mathes, and solos by the Misses Bergstrom, Platt, Docherty and Armstrong. Miss Armstrong was accompanied by the Misses Martib on the mandolin and harp-guitar. A very pleasing number was the quintet, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," sung by the Ladies Quartet and Miss Hill, and accompanied by Miss Green and Miss Lemon. The second part of the program was the beautiful cantata, "The Garden of Flowers," by Denza, the solos being taken by Miss Hill and Miss Martin. The concert was one of the best ever given by the Choral Club, and represented careful and painstaking study. The voices were well blended in the chorus work, and the solos revealed some of the best talent of the school. There was a very large and appreciative audience, and the stage decorations were by far the most artistic that have ever been placed on the Normal platform.

We turned and watched The ever-changing canvas of the sky, Forgetting the monotony of toil In following the thought you made for us: Fire-ships sailing on a green dream-sea, From Nowhere unto Nowhere outward bound; Bold headlands topped by lofty battlements; Enchanted cities rising from the sands, Rearing tower and spire and minaret To catch the myriad gleamings on their tips And combine them in a splendid flame!- Softening your lines, you let them go, Blending all the tints and hues and shades In opalescent lights and amber glow- Hints of pearl upon a field of mauve. The shadows lengthening upon the slopes Flowed into the valleys, forming there Pools of purple mystery; the mists Crept in, the shadows deepened; it was Night! L. A. GREENE, '15. Page One Hundred Forty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 147 ---------- Rolling Down to Rio By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER First Prize Story Yes weekly from Southampton Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio. (Roll down, roll down to Rio), And I'd like to roll to Rio, Some day before I'm old." -Rudyard Kipling. SHE was startled, for she had fancied herself all alone. She wondered who it was, huddled there by the rail, in the rainy, star-darkness of the winter night. It was twelve o'clock, and the few young people aboard,-a young missionary from the States, three school teachers, and another young woman, who, like herself, had left New York to work on the "Feature side" of a great South American daily, had gone to bed hours before. The boat would dock at Rio in the morning. Earnestine wondered, therefore, who it could be, and having the typical newspaper girl's curiosity, she walked swiftly, and noiselessly, up the deck until she stood almost behind the strange figure. In the purple light of a mingled dark and star-glow, she saw that it was a man; a big chap, humped against a great coil of cable, wet from the recent tropic rain. "Blue!" thought Ernestine. "Deep in the doldrums, poor chap! I wonder who he is? Must be somebody in the first-cabin list. I can't seem to make out--" As she slowly made her way towards him, the man thrust a hand in his pocket, and drew out something. There was a glimmer in the starlight. Ernestine sensed, more than saw, the pistol. It was in the set of his shoulders-that rigidity of the human about to deal Death to himself. Restraining the desire to rush madly at him, grab the revolver, and hurl it miles deep in the sea, the girl remained calm. "Don't do it!" she said, as quietly as if she had asked him not to smoke. The effect was startling. To the man, who had imagined himself entirely alone-this quiet order seemed to issue from supernatural realms. Like a frightened child, he put the pistol down, and waited,- not even turning his head. The stillness seemed charged with the magnetic quality of his great awe. "Make your voice businesslike," urged her intuition. "Be very ordinary and everyday about it all, or there is no telling what he will do." Page One Hundred Forty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 148 ---------- Accordingly Ernestine went quickly to the rail, picked up the little deathdealer, emptied it, and slipped it into the pocket of her raincoat. As she did this she spoke again. He was looking at her now, quietly, almost impassively-and the girl recognized him with a start. He did not speak, so she continued rapidly, albeit slightly disconcerted by the knowledge that she was addressing one of the most celebrated men in the world. "I didn't suppose you ever got rash, and wanted to do terrible things, like an ordinary mortal!" she said swiftly but very soberly-- "And I realize that this interruption would seem unpardonable under ordinary conditions, but you know-" she put a hand of fellowship on his shoulder, "I couldn't let you do it! I simply couldn't!" Something very like wistful appeal crept into the great man's eyes, reducing him to boyhood in the clear gaze of the kindly person who watched. Though Ernestine had known and talked with many of the great ones of earth in her capacity of journalist-never by hook or crook had she been able to get near this man in professional guise before. In the morning, after it was all over-she would doubtless look back upon this moment of contact with the greatest financial genius of the age, as her supreme professional achievement. But her newspaper loyalty had left her now-displaced by an emotion far greater; loyalty to humanity. This great man had lifted to her a face of appeal. He turned her, by the urgency of his need, into adviser, helper, and guardian. Into her heart swept that feeling of human brotherhood, one of the truest and rarest emotions to which the race is heir. She was his sister now; he was her brother! "It's hard luck, old chap!" she said, "But you take my advice and follow the homely old saying straight to the end! Just grin and bear it, old fellow; grin and bear it!" At that the man completely gave way. Ernestine comforted him the best she knew, and they sat side by side until the dawn arose above the ocean's eastern edge,--in perfect sympathy, the greatest money-maker of the age, and the New York newspaper girl,-while they threshed out a probable tragedy between them. Often the man grew desperate as he told the story of his stealthy undermining by business associates. A chance wireless picked up by the operator since the Kismet had left Southampton, had brought him the realization that his hard-worked-for triumph was about to topple. The man, whose greatest boast had been that he could surmount all obstacles but Death, was about to go down to defeat. Only a miracle could save him. If his son had sold certain stocks, according to orders given by cable just before he had left London, all would be swept away. "But, perhaps," suggested the girl, "Perhaps he hasn't done it?" "Oh, he has done it alright," replied the great man, a shadow of grim sorrow falling across his face. "He's no good for anything else! Obeying orders is all he ever could do decently! No mind of his own on him at all. Now, if Antoinette had been the boy, instead of Berk-if she had been the boy, all would be well!" "Somehow," continued the South American speculatively, "You reminded me of her when you called me 'Old Chap,' there, and put your hand on my shoulder. That was the way Tony would have done. She rage One Hundred Forty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 149 ---------- was rarely respectful, and it was such a blessed relief to come home to her-after months of European deferentialism." "World deferentialism, you mean," corrected Ernestine; then suddenly, "Where is Tony?" she asked. "Tony?" questioned the man. "Why, Tony's dead!" he answered. Then, as he saw the look of manifest sorrow spring to the girl's eyes: "Don't be sorry for that!" he said sternly. "Be glad! Be glad as I am glad! that she has been spared this night and the day to follow. The sight of her father lying wrecked! Oh, my God! Absolutely wrecked! And no man's blood or brain to follow me, on all this earth- just Berk!" He bent his head on his arms in absolute agony, and for a time the girl sat nerve-racked and quiet, by his side. Then she laid her hand once more upon his arm. "If the Dead do come back to try and help those they love," she said softly, "it must be through the voices of the living. I am sure that Tony would say the things I am saying to you, if she could! I am not plain Ernestine Rand any more. I am Tony Chavez,-beautiful, dashing, every bit as lovely as before! Listen!" she said, as she shook him gently. "Listen, Old Chap, to me! I am Tony! Do you hear, I am TONY! And you spoke of being a wreck. Now, though I feel in my very bones that you will see Berk's smiling face the first thing when you dock at Rio, telling you all is well, still I cannot resist this chance to philosophize out loud." The girl smiled at him and with one hand made sure that the pistol still reposed safely in his pocket of her raincoat. "There was a wreck! Only we never call it that! It was far too splendid a testament to modern Knight and Ladyhood to be called a mere wreck. "I was working on a paper in New York that spring-and I can never forget it! It was so awful; but it was so splendid too! It made us almost wish that we too had had a chance to go down aboard it! And when the story of the brave fellows in the band-who played on and on into the starlit night until the water came up over them,--" the girl paused choking. "Oh, weren't they the brave knights, though!" she exclaimed- "Weren't they every bit as fine and true and wonderful as the ones who rode with the crusaders, centuries ago? I think so," she continued, battling against the rising tide of her own emotions, as she saw her efforts to arouse the great man becoming successful. "I think so!" she repeated, her blue eyes bright with tears, "And Old Chap, that's how I want you to go down, if go down it has to be, with colors flying and the band playing! The way you've lived. Don't disappoint the hero worshipers of the world! Be to them still their Greatest! Promise me that! Why, if you will, Life will always be worth living, no matter what. Promise, Old Chap!" she commanded, then waited, with perfect confidence in him shining from her soul. Suddenly the man stretched out his hand to her. "I do promise," he said. "I do promise you, Tony," came with softer intonation, and he stood up, and as a big Newfoundland shakes the water off after a plunge in the deep, he shook from himself the Page One Hundred Forty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 150 ---------- great mists of indecision that had clouded the horizon of his mind. He stood, and the girl saw how large; how well-nigh gigantic, he was, in comparison to other men. Ernestine grew suddenly afraid. She shyly took him by the hand, her mission not yet finished. "One thing more," she said. "Yes," he asked almost patiently. "Be nice to Berk, please, and give him just half a chance-just half a chance, please!" He did not reply, but looked at her across a great distance, magnanimous, kind, beneficent; the conscious world-power settling again upon his brow like a coronet. She was no longer a person to be reckoned with, to be thought much about. She was just a common little newspaper girl from New York;-and the sun was up over the edge of the world again, making a path of gold across the waves to the edge of the rail. A white sea-bird arose from the deck, cried out, and circled above their heads several minutes, its fair breast shining in the dawn, before it flew off across the waves,-straight toward the rising sun; flying low, and dipping silver wings in the gold of the ocean path as it went. "That way, Tony went," thought Ernestine, and she nodded him a formal, perfunctory farewell. When the boat docked at Rio six hours later and the white-clad journalist was being received most cordially by members of that great free lance fraternity-someone was kind enough to point out to her the "Great Chavez," as he got into his car beside his cheerfully grinning son. "The greatest financial genius of the age," murmured a fellow journalist in her ear. "And only two reporters in the world today know how near he came to ruin over night" Ernestine smiled and looked properly impressed. "I hope both of you are on 'our sheet,' " she said laughingly, asserting her new-born loyalty for "La Prensa." "Indeed yes, but it does us no good, for we can't tell. Chavez is the real owner of 'La Prensa,' you know." "No, I did not know, but I'm mighty glad; for he's a good old chap!" she added lightly, as their car moved off the dock behind the glass-enclosed limousine of the "Greatest Man of the Age." It's good to have money, and the things that money can buy; but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.- Lorimer. The Lord hates a quitter, but he doesn't hate him son, When the quitter's quitting something that he shouldn't have begun. -Blosser Brevities.

Each morn my angel guardian hangs About my neck the twelve sweet hours; At eve she takes them off and fills My hands with fragrant dreamland flowers. And gently, tenderly, she lays The tarnished links and pearls away In Memory's Casket hid in dusk So near to Dreams, so far from day. Only at night I visit there And in the shadows name my beads In joy or penitence, as I Look o'er the good and evil deeds That filled my chain and carved each link And chastened all my pearls so fair Tho sad my soul, Hope springs afresh And all my heart looks up in prayer.

Page One Hundred Fifty-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 152 ---------- Flowers From Port Arthur By RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Second Prize Story I have them yet, the handful of faded, little- pressed blossoms that came to me clear across the Pacific, from the battlefield of Port Arthur. There was a sad little story that came with them, of an educated Japanese girl, and her soldier lover, who with his own hands gathered the wild Japanese for-get-me-nots of mine, outside the prison yard, for Moto San. Leslie told me the story for future relation, and took such pains to obtain a handful of the blue flowers for me besides. Leslie was born in Japan, and lives in Yokohama now, and among her friends she counted little Moto San, one of the first, best, and dearest. The dainty, colorful, little lady of Japan said good-bye to her soldier before he left on board the transport with his General, for Port Arthur, and she saw him go gladly, and without tears, for the tiny Japanese women are just as gloriously brave and patriotic in time of trouble as the men. "You will come back," she said hopefully; and he replied that the first blue flowers of spring would herald him, for he thought, as did the world, that the war would be of longer duration than it proved to be. "Do not forget," she repeated slowly, and then he went away. She waited. News came of the victory of Port Arthur, of the final defeat of the Russians, and the Nation wept for joy at first, and then for sorrow, as the ships of death steamed back to Yoho, with their ghastly burdens. Moto San wept too; first for joy, and then for sorrow, as the days went by, and there came no word from Okim. She herself went to ships in search of his body, to the despair of her parents, who deplored again and again the foreign ways of Moto San, and called on their mighty ancestors to forgive them for ever educating her in barbaric America. Moto's search was vain, but hope had not yet died. She had not really expected to find Okim on the death ships, partly because she could not believe him dead; partly because she knew he was not an officer, and that even if he were dead, his body would be buried on the field, instead of being returned to Yoho. Months passed; then one day in early April, a ship flying the Russian flag, and bearing prisoners of war, came steaming into the harbor. Moto San was the first woman at the docks, in her great hope of Okim's coming; for already in the fields the blue flowers were springing, and had he not given that as a signal of his approach! But he was not there, and Moto San returned homeward with a heavy heart. She was not kept long in wondering, however, for that Page One Hundred Fifty-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 153 ---------- night in the tea-garden, a package was handed her by an officer-friend, who had received it with orders to give it in secret to Moto San. The writing was that of Okim, and Moto hurried homeward to open it. She found inside the blue flowers I have told you of, also a letter from Okim, telling her that he had been condemned to die as a spy, and that, under guard, he had managed to gather the blue flowers for her, outside the prison walls. "By the time these reach you," he had written in the language of tneir adoption, "I shall be lying under the grass of the prison yard, outside the fort. Some day, perhaps, you may visit here, and plant the wild for-get-me-nots above my heart. 0, Moto San! I am not afraid to die! My loves goes with the blue flowers to you. Treasure them for the sake of our past and the future that might have been. Farewell!" And that was all. No name; nothing that could ever tell to un-friendly minds the possible origin of the lines. Okim, knowing that Moto San, being the daughter of wealthy and prominent parents, would in all likelihood be forced to marry; had carefully avoided anything that might throw difficulties in her path; for when a Japanese girl is believed to have had a lover, no other man will marry her. The precautions of Okim, though kindly, were of no avail, for Moto San died in June, with the death of the cherry blossoms, and everybody said that her soul had blown away into "The Land of Dead Flowers," and prayed that her life there would be blessed with all beauty and gladness. Leslie laid the letter in the folds of the dress in which Moto San was buried. The faded flowers she kept to remind her of the lovely little lady of another race, who had been her friend. She went to Port Arthur last summer with her father, who inspected the docks there at the time, and she wrote me later, she left over the body of Okim, in the prison yard, a tiny plant of the wild forget-me-not, such as he had wished to have blossoming forever above the heart that loved Moto San so well. Have you ever stopped to consider whether you were the original noise, or only the echo? Our Faculty have many faults, Our students have but two: "Everything they say, And everything they do." Page One Hundred Fifty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 154 ---------- Fairy Paths The world has changed so much since first I came To dwell within its bounds, so still and wide. Things used to be so wonderful and great- With Fairy Paths across the countryside. Along the river bank, all floored with sand, Enclosed by rose trees, wild, and emerald-leaved, And hidden quite from scoffing, grown-up eyes I walked along, believing and believed By all my little band of neighbor folk. I pointed out to them each lurking elf. I flew from made-up terrors with swift feet, And thus deceiving, oft deceived myself. I found for them the haunts of witch and dwarf, I took them to the Giant's lonely tree; I was the queen of all my youthful train, And blest were they who chose to follow me. Away from "Common Folk" each morn we sped And walked the rivers edge with singing feet, Or rafted lightly on its current swift; Then Life was Sunshine's self, and Danger sweet! And oft we tired of Pirating about And sought instead the yellow mountain's steep, And climbed the cliffs of hay unto the top And nestled down within our dungeons deep. And heard the raindrops falter in their flight Upon the tin-roofed space above our keep; And one by one the weary pirates would Roll drowsy heads and softly sink to sleep. And dreams? Our dreams seemed all of Fairy folk, The ones we loved, e'en tho we never knew, For sure-if they were idle grown-up tales Made up for fun-or really truly true. But some how we've grown older and forgot To listen for them as we used to do. I wonder if the fairies ever look For us where first we walked, when Life was new. Ah, little Fairy Paths along the edge Of winding river, dim, befogged and green; I wonder if the rose trees have been cut And brush thrown open to disclose the scene. Of gentle mysteries. I hope not Paths! I'd rather see the thickets o'er you grow The myrtle and blackberry and the mint Hide all the footprints made so long ago. RACHEL OXFORD VAN DE VANTER. Page One Hundred Fifty-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 155 ---------- A Midnight Call and What Came of It By GERALD E. SONNER. Third Prize Story THE sharp jingle of the telephone bell is rather startling in the dead of night, when there is no other sound. William Carew came out of his doze with a start. His hand shook as he took down the receiver. "Hello!" "Hello! Is this Mr. Carew?" "Yes, who is this?" "Not so fast, please. My business with you is strictly private. Are you alone in the room? " (Coming to him as it did, the question seemed a bit uncanny.) "I am," he answered, glancing around a little apprehensively, as though he did not feel quite sure about it. "Well, this is from your business office. Understand?" "I do not understand. My office closed at six o'clock; I locked the door myself, and no one else has a key. Who are you, anyway?" "Ah! Softly, please! Don't be inquisitive." "Then what do you want?" "Now, you are talking! First, though, let me tell you something. You know that powder you have stored in the basement, ready for the hunting season?" "Well, what of it?" "Make quite an explosion, wouldn't it?" "It would wreck the whole building." "Yes? Well, just at this moment one end of a good, quick fuse rests in that powder, and the other is on your desk, within three feet of my hand. Do you follow? Hello! Hold on, now. Don't get excited or act hastily. A fuse doesn't hurt as long as it isn't lighted. Just wanted you to see what might happen if things didn't please the people in control here; that is all. Stop, now! Never mind about Central. I want to talk to you. We have a little work to do here that requires the opening of your safe-" "Hello! Are you there? All right!" "Well, we seem not to have gotten the combination, and prefer calling in the engineer to blowing up the boiler. I am sorry to disturb you, but we have tried to be as considerate at we could. You will find a cab at your side-door. By smart driving you can reach here in between six and seven minutes from the time you leave the phone; but mind you, now, that will not give you any time for side trips or nonsense. If you Page One Hundred Fifty-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 156 ---------- are with us in exactl'y seven minutes from the time you leave the phone, well and good; if not-Hello! are you listening?" William Carew promptly answered that he was, though he did not ieel certain whether he was hearing with his ears or his imagination. The situation was a new one to him, and in order to gain time for thinking iL over, he tried to talk to his strange interviewer with one side of his head and think with the other. The warning was prompt." "Be quick! Tell me at once are you coming? Because if you are not, the fuse is off." "All right, I'll come!" he shouted, and hung up the receiver. What could he do? To arouse his household and make the necessary explanations would consume at least five of those seven precious minutes. Should he try the police? They were quite as unreachable in the time at his command. As the only chance, he called up Central, told the girl rapidly to send the police around to his office. No, no! not the house--the office quick as she could! Then he rushed for the cab and allowed himself to be driven away at breakneck speed. The more he thought it over the more he failed to see the funny side of the situation, if it had one-and he was not sure that it had. If all went well, he still would be at his office in the hands of his enemies, within the time specified; but what did they mean to do with him? Make him open the safe for one thing, and he thought with regret of the good, fat collections that had been turned in to him the night before, after banking hours. In spite of his worry over what was going to happen to his property, he could not help feeling a generous concern over what was likely to happen to himself. Supposing the burglars were not satisfied with their loot? Or they might suspect him of having other valuables secreted. That thought brought a ray of comfort, and he chuckled to himself as he remembered the fat roll of bills he had taken home and placed in his secretary over-night, preferring not to trust all his eggs in one basket. But, still, supposing they did not mean to take him to the office at all, but were only taking this way to abduct him and hold him in some underground dungeon for ransom? Then, too, what if the girl at Central failed to understand the situation? Central had been known to mix things up before then; and this was an unusual occurrence. He had not dared take time to let her repeat his message to him for correction. The police station was much farther from his office than his house was, so at the best, he would be in for an uncomfortable seance with his captors of quite sufficient duration, without any delays or slips. On the arrival of the officers, too, a new danger would confront him. Several burglaries had recently been committed, possibly by this same gang, and the police, smarting under the severe prodding they had received from the local papers, were about in the right humor to shoot on sight. Carew was not a large man; still, there was a great plenty of him at a time when all there was of him would be in danger. In spite of his nervousness over his impending fate, the time and Page One Hundred Fifty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 157 ---------- distance of his ride between his house and office seemed longer than it ever had before. Of course, that might be due to his over-wrought nerves. He was thinking so fast and of so many things at once that the amount of mental ground he covered evidently made the material distance seem great. Still, he half doubted whether they had come the most direct route or not, and tried to peer out of the cab to assure himself of something, he hardly knew what. While he was in the very act of doing so, the cab pulled up at his office-door so suddenly as to all but cause his debarkation in a direction wholly different from the usual course of egress. A glance around convinced Carew that the building was still un-wrecked! so it looked as if he had arrived in time. Just as he was about to enter the building it occurred to him that he had seen no guard, and he considered it possible that the fuse had been fired already and the burglars were seeking safety in flight. Under those circumstances, Carew more than ever wished to avoid any seeming dissension from their views, so he rapidly concluded to wait a little before entering, and it occurred to him that the opposite side of the street would be a better place for waiting. Neither burglar nor explosion came to reward his caution, however, and natural curiosity was fast gaining a mastery, when he was suddenly beset on all sides by a rush of policemen, who were so elated over capturing him that it was several minutes before their error could be proved to them. Then there was a simultaneous rush for the office, over which the wary chief had placed a watchful guard before their rush upon the supposed burglar sentinel. In the center of the room lay the door of the safe, where it had fallen when blown open. Scattered around were such of the contents as could not be converted into cash. The money and all negotiable valuables were missing. Evidently it had been a deliberate piece of work, where every paper was examined, and its value carefully determined. "And to think," exclaimed Carew, "that they did it all in the few minutes I was coming from my home here! I am certain they were gone before I arrived." "Nonsense!" said the Chief, passing his hand over the safe door. "This job alone was never done in seven minutes; and, besides, it must have happened half an hour or so ago, for the metal is cold." "Then what the deuce was their object in calling me up to open it for them, after it was already open?" "I am sure I don't know, unless it was just pure bravado; a sort of boasting over a sleek job. But my word for it, the safe was open and the job done when they called you up. They were off as rapidly as you were, after they once got you started. Strange, though, they went to the trouble of sending that cab for you if they hadn't some other object." Just then the telephone rang again, with a suddenness that gave them all a start. "Hello! Who is this?" answered Carew. "Is this the William Carew office?" "It is, what's wanted?" "Well, this is your residence. I just wanted to tell you that we Page One Hundred Fifty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 158 ---------- had a little business here which we believed could be done better during your absence. We wanted you to take a little trip, and felt sure you would manage some way to take the attention of the police along with you, after the tip you got. We are through here, now, and have managed not to disturb your family in the least. You can return now whenever you get ready. Thank you! Good-bye." William Carew and the officers looked at each other in astonishment for a full minute, then the Chief exclaimed: "Well, doesn't that jar you?" "It certainly does!" replied the crestfallen William Carew, as he turned out the light and walked through the door. The Things Worth While In the evening of our school year, When our sun is getting low, Are we longing for the last day And the train on which to go? Or are we thinking of the friends that We have made thruout the year? And of the heartaches we will have When we go and leave them here? Or, of the lessons we have learned Of the things akin to life; That will give us strength of character To enter the great strife? It's not the fact that we will get A roll of sheepskin that will count; But the stuff we have within us That will make us want to mount And climb to worlds we've dreamed about, Of world's as yet unknown, To the zenith of ambition And leave unturned no stone. We then will know, the things worth while Are the friends whom we have known, And those worth more than all the rest, We met on grand Sehome. A. H. S., '15. Page One Hundred Fifty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 159 ---------- The Opinion of Father Time I sat dreaming by my window, half asleep and half awake Harking to the merry music that a far-off band did make- Just the old Salvation Army, that march the streets at dark, But their music set me thinking, of dead people, grim and stark; Dear dead people, lying coldly in the earth, beneath the grass- While the living, gayly, boldly, o'er their sunken slumbers pass. And I wondered then, how many of the ones so still and meek, Had in life known true happiness, and all that Humans seek. "Were there many happy people, in the days that are no more?" Thus I questioned of a Spectre, who just then came thru my door. Oh, his hair was long and frosty-white with years, and years, and years, And the wrinkles had been furrowed in his face by human tears. In his hand he bore a sickle, and I knew him then for Time- He, the Father of the Ages (and the subject of my rhyme), For he showed me all the people, that had gone away from here, From the Bellingham State Normal, down until this very year, And among them saw I, women, who were leading useful lives, Some as teachers, some as writers, some as true and helpful wives. And the men (Ah! few in number), they were making money fast, Peaceful, sober, uninspiring, from the first, down to the last. Doing good, 'tis true, wherever each and every one had time, (Keeping coin in circulation, spending now and then a dime). "Question thou about the Living; leave the Sleeping Dead alone! Soon enough you'll all be lying in the earth beneath a stone, And the final page be written, and the Book be closed and locked, Thus the Dead are now; why bother?" Father Time serenely mocked. Then his eyes grew clear and shining and he pointed down the street, (Just a little lane of shadows, but it clanged with human feet), And I saw Two Hundred Pilgrims, festive clad, come side by side, Marching grandly down the vista, faces, bearings, those of Pride, In their hands they held diplomas, 'oer their heads burned halo's bright, On their brows blazed Fame and Fortune and the Power to do the Right. "Happiness?" quoth my companion, "These shall find it-never far! This is how- " "Oh, tell it loudly," quoth I quickly, "Let them hear." "In their hearts, they know," he answered, "that we get back what we give; This they must remember ever, it will teach them how to live! "See," he said, I saw a vision of the years that soon will be; Saw the girls and men of '15, older grown, they seemed to me; But glad-hearted, walking freely, thru the spaces of the Land In their wake were Peace and Plenty, flowers grew on either hand, Flowers of Thought, and Flowers of Virtue, flowers of Friendship, thrived and grew, And about these flowery places, many, many bluebirds flew; And Time touched me on the shoulder, "Tell me this before I go! "Do you recognize these people? Are there any whom you know?" "KNOW!" I shouted, half indignant; then replied, with haughty mein, "THESE are CLASSMATES, Aged Father,-B. S. N. S., our '15." And he laughed and motioned lightly toward the school upon the hill: "There have never been such people, in the past, nor ever will- As this CLASS OF 1915, that you saw a moment since, And this fact I don't mind telling, over truths I seldom mince, They're the greatest that I know of-either now alive or dead." "Thank you, Father Time," I answered, "I shall tell them all you've said.' Then he vanished thru my window, with his shadows and his murk, And I took my bookstore notebook, and to this end, started work. R. O. V., '15.

REID Foot Ball WITH not a veteran back and with a new man at the helm, the Nineteen-Fourteen Football season looked none too bright for the Blue and White. Coach Samuel E. Carver, a member of the Nineteen-Twelve Football team, had charge of the squad for the first time. When the call for candidates was made, only a few men responded who had actual experience, but nevertheless, the men worked hard, and Coach Carver develcped a team that didl credit to the School, although a great percentage of the games were lost. The progress that different members of the team made was especially pleasing to the supporters. The members of the squad, numbering between fifteen and Page One Hundred Sixty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 168 ---------- twenty, labored under adverse conditions all season, for the new grid-iron, back of the School, was a morass of mud and water, from the first to the last turnout. "Big Ben" Tidball, the two-hundred-pounder of Bellingham High School fame, was elected Captain just before the first game of the season, and he proved a capable leader. Ben played center rush. Flanking the "Human Stone Wall" on either side (as Captain Tidball was known in his High School days), were "Swede" Shold and Walter Kelly, both playing their first year of football. Shold was one of the "strong men" of the team, while Kelly, although light, was one of the most aggressive warriors that Coach Sam had. The tackles were well taken care of by Neiswender, Platz, and Bolman, all of the six-foot variety. At the extremes of the line were found three men of marked ability: Bill Evans, Beck, and Breakey. Beck and Breakey played their first year of football, while Evans is a former Bellingham High School star. Victor Aitken, a product of Ferndale High School, directed the team from the quarterback position, and played a heady game. Probably the biggest surprise of the season was the playing of "Bulldog" Wold, at fullback. With very little previous experience, Wold proved to be one of the stars of the team. As a smashing fullback, his equal cannot be found in these parts. Ed. Haracich, from the local High School; Larson, from Tacoma; and Croy, a local boy, alternated at right and left half, and each man played a fast, hard game. Capable substitutes were found in F. Hermann, Smith and Meek. A winning team is predicted for next year, as Haracich, Kelly, Platz, Wold, Beck, Breakey, Smith, and Shold will be back. The team's record is as follows: FERNDALE, 6-NORMAL, 0. The first game of the season was played on Saturday, October third, during the fair week at Lynden. Ferndale won, because of the inexperience of the Normal boys. More than half of the team were playing their first game of football. Captain Tidball was injured, which kept him out of the game for several weeks. MT. VERNON A. C., 42-NORMAL, 0. The team ran into a snag when they met the Mt. Vernon Athletic Club on October tenth, at Mt. Vernon. The Club team was made up of former College and High School stars, and their playing was too much for the local boys. FERNDALE, 0- NORMAL, 2. The first win of the season was on October tenth, at the Normal athletic field, when, after fifty-nine minutes of fighting, the local team scored a safety on the High School boyfs from Ferndale, and so won the game. It was a royal battle, and ekery Blue and White player deserves credit for putting up a great brand of ball. MT. VERNON A. C., 0-NORMAL, 0. The game that was virtually a victory was when Mt. Vernon invaded Bellingham with a stronger team than the one that beat the local team 42 to 0, and were unable to score on the Normal warriors. The local team displayed the best form of the year, and when their goal was Page One Hundred Sixty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 169 ---------- in danger they put up a stone-wall defense. The Club boys were helpless when they tried to score, but on the other hand, their heavy line could not be penetrated by the locals for substantial gains. ANACORTES, 13-NORMAL, 7. Coach Carver had to put a crippled team in the field against Anacortes High School, when the teams met in Bellingham, November seventh. Anacortes was represented by one of the best High School teams in this part of the State, and they put up a great battle. Both the visitors' touch-downs came in the first quarter, but after that they were unable to get in scoring distance of the Normal's goal. FERNDALE, 0-NORMAL, 6. Once more the Blue and White demonstrated their ability to defeat the warriors of Ferndale. The game was played November fourteenth, at Ferndale. The Normal boys showed a marked improvement in their team work. The successful use of the forward pass was greatly responsible in bringing in victory to Bellingham. A number of gains from ten to forty yards were made this way. BELLINGHAM H. S., 6-NORMAL, 0. Alas! The biggest game of the season was lost to B. H. S. in a stubbornly fought contest, November twenty-first. After being outplayed all through the game, and with only four and a half minutes till the final whistle, the High School team slipped over a touchdown on the Normal, and victory was theirs. Nothing more needs to be said, but just wait until next year. In the opinion of a good many football fans the best team lost. ANACORTES, 20--NORMAL, 7. The Thanksgiving battle was played in Anacortes, with the High School team of that town, but it ended disastrously for the Normal. The skillful playing of the backs, coupled with the Fidalgo mud, spelled defeat for the locals. One of the disastrous features of the game was the injury to Evans' knee, as it kept him out of the entire basketball season. Page One Hundred Sixty-Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 170 ---------- Aitken; Schwartz; Kelly Croy; Gwinn; Coach Carver; Odle; Rockey Page One Hundred Seventy ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 171 ---------- Basket Ball HE Nineteen-Fourteen--Nineteen-Fifteen Basketball season was one of the most successful seasons that a Normal five has enjoyed for several years. Although probably not a clear claim to the title of the Non-Conference Championship could be made, at least the local team holds it in conjunction with the College of Puget Sound, as each team defeated the other one, and the tie was not played off. Of the heavy schedule of fourteen games played, ten were won. Only one school team had the honor of defeating Coach Carver's pets; that being the University of Puget Sound. The disappointing feature of the season was the fact that the annual East-of-the Mountains' trip had to be called off at the last minute, because Ellensburg Normal broke her contract. As this has become a habit with our Sister Normal, it looks as if she were afraid to meet our strong teams. The first of the season looked none too promising for a winning team as only one Letter-man reported, and the material did not look exceptionally strong, but after several weeks of practice, things looked different. Coach Carver developed a fighting team, but a team that fought in the right spirit and played square. The team was light, but what they lacked in weight they made up in speed. The personnel of the team is as follows: Captain Swartz, Rockey and Gwin, forwards; Odle, center; Kelley, Aitken, Croy and Anstett, guards. Lytton, Swartz, and Paul Rockey were the regular forwards, and each man played the game every minute. Frank Gwin, from Ellensburg, made a handy substitute. Mosie Odle, the married man of the team, who held the pivotal position several years ago, was better than ever this year, and very few men were able to get the jump on him. Walter Kelley and Victor Aitken were the regulars. Both are old star High School men, and both shone in every game of the season. Donald Croy and Leonard Anstett were not far behind the regular guards and each one was ready to step in at any moment. Anstett was not able to play the required number of halves to possess a letter, as he was late in entering school, but he is looked upon to star next year. The Team's Record Blaine H.

The team's excellent success is due in a great measure to the coaching of Sam Carver, who is one of the best players Bellingham ever developed. A team equal, if not better than the one of this year is looked for next season for Rockey, Kelley and Anstett will be back and practically every member of the second team. Page One Hundred Seventy-One ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 172 ---------- THE NORMAL BASEBALL TEAM Mohrman, Griffin, Carver, Haracich, Larson, Platz Evans, R. Smith, Reed, Swartz, Rairdon, Beck Page One Hundred Seventy-Two ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 173 ---------- Base Ball NO sooner was the last baskethall game a thing of history, than the baseball candidates were called out by Coach Carver. Over twenty boys responded, and the squad was certainly a promising one. As the new athletic field is still in poor shape, the turnouts are held on the Sehome School grounds, which only furnish meagre accommodations. Through the courtesy of the Elks' Club it has been made possible for the squad to practice at Elks' Park several times a week, and all the home games will be played on these grounds. Plenty of material was in evidence for every position on the team, except the battery positions, and only a few candidates showed up for these places. Under the direction of Coach Carver and Captain Roy Mohrmann, the team was picked as follows: W. Evans, catcher; I. Larsen and F. Beck, pitchers; P. Mohrmann, first base; G. Smith, E. Haracich, second base; A. Griffen, short-stop; L. Swartz, third base; C. Platz, H. Wold, R. Reid and E. Rairdon, outfielders. Although Evans plays a better game in the field than he does behind the bat, the scarcely of material compelled Coach Carver to place him in this position. Larsen, a right-handed flinger, and Beck, a port-sider, are doing the pitching, and it is likely before the season is over that this will be one of the strongest parts of the team. With Captain Mohrmann on the initial bag, this position is being cared for in the best possible manner, as he is a man of a great deal of experience. A fight is going on over the keystone corner between Smith, from Ferndale and Haracich, a local High School man, with odds about even. Griffen, from the South Side High School, is speeding around the short field, showing lots of class. Swartz, a veteran of three seasons, is again at his old station at third base, which he held last season. The outfield, Page One Hundred Seventy-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 174 ---------- which was weak last season, is being filled by a bunch of hitters, and Platz, Wold, Reid and Rairdon are covering lots of ground. Only two games have been played so far, but a heavy schedule has been arranged for. NORMAL, 13-SOUTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL, 0. The first game of the season was played against our old rivals from South Bellingham, and although a close game was looked for, it was a decided walk-away, as the score indicates. The Normal men worked well in the field, and hit the ball at will, showing rare form for so early in the season. Beck, who twirled in the first part of the game, did not allow a hit, and Larsen, who succeeded him, was only touched up for a couple of singles. NORMAL, 7; BLAINE HIGH SCHOOL, 6. The second game was played at Blaine, and again our boys came out victorious. The local boys started things in the first inning, and annexed five runs, but after that the Blaine flinger settled down and the locals had a hard time getting hits off his delivery, although they scored again in the sixth and ninth. For eight innings the best Blaine could do was to collect two runs, but in the last half of the ninth they came near tieing the score, but fast fielding prevented this, and so the Normal record was clear. Page One Hundred Seventy-Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 175 ---------- TRACK MAY twenty-seventh, 1914, was the scene of the Annual Track Meet between the Bellingham High and Normal Schools, and although the High School boys won, they were made to "hump" all the way through, the score being 60-63. It was probably the closest meet ever held in the City. The High School entered the meet with the idea they were going up against something easy, and the Normal boys had something of the same idea, as very little interest had previously been shown in Track; the boys being mostly occupied with Baseball. While the High School squad practiced all spring, our team practically was without training, some of the men never taking part in an event until the day of the meet. In the sprints we had things all our own way. "Red" Montgomery took first place in every dash, with Swartz and Neeley close behind him. The best the "Hi" could do was to take third place in two of the dashes. The broad jump was won by the Prep. boys, but Neeley took second place, and Croy third. First, second and third was all that the Normal took in the shot put, Nattrass, Neeley and Hansen placing. We had no show in the hurdles, Knaack being the only man to get a place. Sloan took third place in the high jump, and the other places went to the High School. Marshall won the pole vault in dandy form. First and third places were captured in the discus by Folsom and Nattrass. The distance runs were all in the favor ol the High School, they taking every place but third in the mile, which was won by Lewis. The High School saw they hlad no show in the relay, so failed to enter a team, but the Normal Four, composed of Swartz, Montgomery, Knaack and Neeley, ran off the distance in excellent time. Those who made their "B" were Montgomery, with 16 1/4 points; Swartz, with 8 1/4 points; Neeley, with 10 1/4 points; Knaack, with 4 1/4 points; Marshall, with 5 points; Nattrass, with 6 points, and Folsom, with 5 points. Page One Hundred Seventy-Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 176 ---------- THE NORMAL TRACK TEAM Back Row-Croy, Coach Carver, Gray, Miller Center--Bixby, Ceiling, Haracisch, Gwin, Mohrman, Aitken, Odle Front Row--Breakey, Boggan, Kelly, Gardner Considerable interest is being shown in Track this year, and quite a number of experienced men are in School. It is expected the Normal boys will give a good account of themselves this year. Wold, Rairdon, Beck, and Neeley are tryiny for the sprints, and among the others trying for places are Kelley for the mile, Miller for the middle distances, Gardner and Bixhy for the jumps and pole vault, and a number of other good men are turning out, so chances for a first-class, well-balanced team are very bright. At least three meets will be held this year, with Sedro-Woolley High School, Bellingham High School, and Ferndale High School. We expect the boys to take every meet, and believe they will do it. A little more interest could be shown by the students over the Athletic teams, than has been shown in the past, for the Normal School turns out some mighty fine, well-coached teams. Athletics have been successful in every way this year, and they deserve the patronage of every student. Next year it is hoped the Athletic Field will be in first-class shape, and the teams will not have to practice away from the School. When the wishes of Dr. Nash are carried out, the Bellingham 4 Normal will have one of the finest Athletic Fields in the Northwest. Everyone should get in and boost, and help to make the old Normal School one of the finest anywhere. Page One Hundred Seventy-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 177 ---------- TENNIS Tennis Classes have been organized, and the Normal will soon have a body of good tennis players, instead of a few tennis sharks. Girls' Athletics GIRLS' ATHLETICS this year can boast only of Basketball, but there has been greater interest in it than in previous years. Not only have we had Class teams, but the Thespian, Alkisiah and Philomathean Societies each organized a team. The Philos were challenged by both the other societies, and won the honors in both games. The Class Teams were organized in early October, and practiced faithfully until March, when the traditional Kline Cup games were played. The Kline Cup is a trophy given to the Normal by Kline Bros., former jewelers of this city. Each year the Classes contest for the Cup. At the opening of this year the Sophomores were obliged to withdraw from the contest, on account of lack of numbers, the Class being the smallest in the School. The Freshmen were also at a disadvantage of numbers, but kept in the field, and showed fair play and a great deal of pluck. The first game was played February twelfth, Juniors vs. Freshmen, won by the Juniors. The second game was played March eighth, Seniors vs. Freshmen, won by the Seniors. The final game was played by the two winning teams, Juniors and Seniors. Both teams played their hardest, but the Juniors won the much-coveted Cup. It will be held as a challenge to all Classes next year, and we hope it may arouse even more interest in Basketball than has been shown this year. Much of the success of Basketball is due to the efforts of Miss Nickerson, the Physical Education Director, who has insisted on clean playing throughout. Much credit is due to the loyal Coaches and Managers of the teams, who have worked faithfully and spared no efforts to train good teams. Volleyball is being played, under the supervision of Miss Nickerson, and next year she hopes to have Class competition in Volleyball.

(CHORUS) That time-honored Latin, That iron-bound Latin, That moss- covered Latin, Which hangs on so well! The subject, the verb, and the bow-legged compound, The flexible gerund and subjunctive mood; The clauses of purpose encourage the pronoun To take the possessive and silently brood. The loose-jointed supine and verbal declensions Join hands with diclensions and joyfully dwell, In temporal clauses of Gothic dimensions, And e'en in the Latin, which I love so well. I tenderly open my mind to receive it As, poised on my table, it joyfully drips; No hair- raising ball-game could tempt me to leave it Though filled with the things which America sips. Their fuss from the diamond fills all the creation, In tribute to home runs they noisily yell; I close down my window in anticipation, And cling to my Latin, which I love so well.

"How fast is your car, Hulse?" asked Mr. Bever. "Well," said Mr. Hulse, "It keeps about six months ahead of my income, generally." Miss Nuttal- "Don't you know, Bunny, that walking on the grass is very bad for rubber-soled shoes?" Miss Welch-"It is not! It's a lot better for them than walking on cement sidewalks." Miss Nuttall-"No, it isn't! The blades cut the rubber all up." Page One Hundred Eighty-Three ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 184 ---------- HEARD IN ARITHMETIC CLASS. After drilling on the number of feet in a mile, Mr. Bond said: "Miss Woodrum, how many feet in a rod?" Florence W.-"Five thousand, two hundred and eighty." Mr. Bond-"I guess I won't go walking with you then." A goat ate all our Jokes And then began to run; "I can not stop," he softly said, "I am so full of fun!" A believer in organized charity cites this as an example of mis- directed tender-heartedness. A very benovelent but absent-minded old gentleman, riding in his carriage one hot July day, noticed a toad in the dusty road, gasping with the heat. In the kindness of his heart he climbed down, tenderly moved the poor toad into the shade of his carriage and then, thoroughly satisfied with his good deed, climbed up again and drove on. I hear that Corinne is to be married soon. Who is the happy man?" "Her father!" "Hurry up, Tommy," called Mother, from downstairs, "We're late now. Have you put your shoes on?" "Yes, Mamma, all but one." "Why was Kelly put out of the game?" "He hadn't shaved and was disqualified for unnecessary roughness." PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION. A dog visits the Class-room. Avis-"See that dog! He is going to take a nap!" Frances Green-"I don't blame him. I would too, if I dared." FACULTY CHILD. The little child of one of the Professors fell out of the front window of his home, just as the kind-hearted townswoman happened to be passing by. She hurried up, with the anxious question. "Dear, dear! How did you fall?" The little fellow looked up at the questioner and replied, in a voice choked with sobs, "V-V-Vertically, Ma'am!" Military Instructor--"What is meant by 'Hereditary enemies' "? Recruit-"Your relations!" ON A FISHING TRIP. Mr. Bond-"Boys, the boat is sinking. Is there anyone here who knows how to pray?" Mr. Hulse (eagerly)-"I do." Mr. Bond-"All right! all right! You pray and the rest of us will put on life belts. They're one shy!" Page One Hundred Eighty- Four ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 185 ---------- ONE OTHER. "Yes,' said Mr. Bever, leaning his weary head on one hand as he addressed the Class in Rural Sociology, "I had a somewhat painful experience of that kind myself, when I was living in North Yakima." "I was standing in the stall and another horse kicked me." HUNTING SEASON. A hunter popped a partridge on a hill It made a great to-do and then was still. It seems when later on his bag he spied, It was the guide! One shot a squirrel in a nearby wood, A pretty shot, off-hand from where he stood. It wore, they said, a hunting suit of brown, And lived in town! And one dispatched a rabbit for his haul, That later proved to measure six feet tall. And lest you think I'm handing you a myth, It's name was Smith! Another Nimrod slew the champion fox, He glimpsed him lurking in among the rocks. One rapid shot! It never spoke or moved, The inquest proved! A "cautious" man espied a gleam of brown, Was it a deer, or Jones, a friend from town? But while he pondered by the river's brim, Jones potted him! SIMPLIFIED SPELLING. The dentist had just moved into a place previously occupied by a baker, when Doctor Deerwester came to call. Dentist-"Pardon me a moment, while I dig off those enamel letters of 'Bakeshop' from the front window." The Doctor-"Why not merely dig off the 'B' and let it go at that?" Rejoice, and men will seek you, grieve and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, but they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; be sad, and you lose them all,- There are none to decline your nectar'd wine, but alone you must drink Life's gall. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE MODERN TENDENCY. Bobby-"Hey, there! I saw you kissing sister, last night." Mr. Jones-"Well, I'm not going to pay you a quarter this time. Ten cents is enough." Bobby-"That's the tendency in these days, to cut out the middle-man and let the goods go straight from the producer to the consumer without charge." MAKING FOR COOLTH. Miss Baxter-"How does the Mexican hairless dog shed his coat this weather?" Doc-"He doesn't change his coat; he simply takes lighter pants." Page One Hundred Eighty- Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 186 ---------- DIFFICULT. A country politician in New Jersey was elected School Commissioner. One day he visited a school and told the teacher he desired to examine the boys and girls. A Spelling Class was performing, so the Commissioner said he would inquire into the proficiency of that organization. The teacher gave him a spelling book, and the students lined up in front of the mighty educator. He thumbed the book, then pointing at the first boy, he said: "Spell Eggpit." "E-g-g-p-i-t," slowly spelled the boy. "Wrong," said the Commissioner, and pointing to the next boy. "E-g-g-p-i-t," spelled the boy. "Wrong. You spell it." The next boy spelled it the same way, and the next and the next and the next. "Bad spellers these," commented the Commissioner to the distressed teacher. "Why, Mr. Commissioner," she protested, "They have all spelled 'Eggpit' correctly." "They have not!" "Will you let me see the word in the book?" the teacher asked tearfully. "I am sure they have." "Here it is!" said the Commissioner, and he pointed to the word, "Egypt!" ALL COMMUNICATIONS. All communications to this office must be signed, as we positively refuse to publish any unanimous letters. So if your joke does not appear you'll know it was unanimous.

Among the Monday morning culprits called before a Baltimore Police Magistrate, was a darkey with no visible means of support. "What occupation have you here in Baltimore," asked his Honor. "Well, Jedge," said the darkey, "I ain't doin' much at present; just circulatin' round, Sir." His Honor turned to the Clerk of the Court and said: "Please enter the fact that this gentleman has been retired from circulation for sixty days." Mr. Epley-"What is worse than finding a worm in your apple?" Junior-"Two worms!" Mr. Epley- "No, half a worm." Mr. Manley-"Please send a large bunch of red roses to this address and charge it to me." "Yes, sir; and your name?" "Oh, never mind the name. She'll understand." Page One Hundred Eighty-Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 187 ---------- BILLY DO. Arthur Smith had just departed from the room in despair, after placing in the flames a half- written letter to his Seattle soul-mate. Presently he returned anon. "Seems to me I smell sugar burning," were his first words upon re-entering the room where his mother sat. Girl, reading aloud from paper, a sentence employing the correct use of the word, notwithstanding. "Mr. Van Pelt wore a hole in his back pocket, but not with standing." A TUFF CUSTOMER. "Gee! Alfonso, where did you get that black eye?" "I was chasing the kid next door and I caught him." AN UNGALLANT TOAST.

Tell me please when you will pay him. If you don't, I put Fritzy into a bissness where more money iss." Page One Hundred Eighty-Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 188 ---------- JUST WHAT WAS INTENDED, PLEASE? Faculty Bride (to well-known Jurist)-"Have you ever tried one of my pies, Judge?" Judge-"No, I never did; but I dare say they deserve it!" JITNEYING. "The girls were selling kisses at a charity bazar for five cents a kiss when the Dean found them," said Mr. Miller. "Ah," responded Mr. Tidball, after a great deal of slow thought, "Another case of the Jitney buss!" FATAL QUESTIONING. Judge-"Have you been arrested before?" Prisoner-"No, sir!" Judge-"Are you certain?" Prisoner-"Yes, sir." Judge-"Your face looks decidedly familiar." Prisoner-"I am the bartender in the saloon across the way, sir." WHY DID HE STOP? Mr. Bond was expatiating on the keenness and beauty of the child's power to appreciate Nature. "One day while walking through the forest with my son, we came to a large tree beside a brooklet. My son immediately began to exclaim about its beauty, the greenness of its foliage and the sweetness of the bird songs which issued from within the closely woven twigs and branches. Now I-I-I-I-I didn't think of that because my thoughts ran back some years ago to a similar nook, where a-a-a-a--well, that's ancient history!" FROM HOPE COUNTY JOURNAL. "Both the bride and groom were much better-looking than the average, and attracted much sympathy." When in doubt be conventional. FROM MONMOUTH PRESS. "A. M. Posten, of Navesink, is one of the entries in the hen-laying contest now being conducted by the Monmouth Poultry Club." He stands third so far." UNSPOILED. A boy of twelve years of age, with an air of melancholy resignation went to the teacher and handed her the following note from his .mother, before taking his seat: "Dear Teacher :-Please excuse James for not being present yesterday. He played truant, but you needn't whip him for it, 'cause the boy he played truant with and him fell out, and the boy licked him; and the man they threw stones at caught him and licked him and the driver of the cart they hung onto licked him; and the owner of a cat they chased caught him and licked him. Then I licked him when he came home and after that his father licked him; and I had to give him another for being impudent to me for telling his father. So you need not lick him till next time. He thinks he will attend regular in the future." Page One Hundred Eighty-Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 189 ---------- BLOOD WILL TELL. If there is an Irish trait that clings thru the generations any better than the faculty to say just what you mean in the way you don't mean it, there is one Joke Editor to whom it will have to be proven. The Class in Psychology II. had just been called, and many students came in during the roll. These, as the rule goes, were to be counted not there until after Class, when they were to report the cause of their tardiness. Several of them could not wait, but raised their hands, and the instructor crossed them off her books. After gazing concernedly all about the class, that worthy exclaimed impatiently: "Now, are there any other people here who are absent." A SOFT PIAZZA. "The walk had been long and sunny. Davidson stood wiping his neck on the piazza."-Story in Munsey's Magazine. OBLIGING. "We are not only willing but anxious to publish the obituaries of our friends." From the Palestine (Ala.) Courier.

He is a first-class sculler they tell me, and is head of his class in gastronomy, knows his letters by sight, and can spell like one of them deformed spellers Miss Norton tells about. "What's he going to be when he grows up?" "He wants to be an undertaker, and I'm declined to let him, so I've told the Confessor to pay special detention to the dead languages," said the proud mother. SHE SHOULD. Miss Baxter (addressing Class in Ob.)-"Teachers should conserve their strength! She should sit down, no matter whether she's a man or a woman."

"Why does the Senator keep talking in that rambling way?" "I don't know what he's aiming at, do you?" "Sure I do! He's filibustering to keep his daughter from singing." APPLIED HISTORY. First Prof.-"My d'ear colleague, I'm a little puzzled. When did the first Peloponnesian War begin?" Second Prof.-"431 B. C." First Prof.-"Quite right, quite right! That is the number of my doctor's telephone. I was to call him up and tell him my wife is sick." THE REFORM HE NEEDED. Mr. Utike-"I want land reform; I want housinig reform; I want educational reform; I want--" Voice in Rear-"Chloroform." A BIRD IN THE HAND. He-"Be this the woman's exchange?" She-"Yes!" He-"Be you the woman," She-"Yes!" He-"Hum! Then I guess I'll keep my Sal." "Well, Mr. Hulse," said Miss Baxter, after telling him about her accident. "Have you had any serious trouble with you new auto?" "Not a bit," responded Mr. Hulse, with a satisfied grin marring the usual gravity of his countenance. "Not a bit, so far at least, I haven't hit a single man without being able to get away before he got my number." FROM MARION, INDIANA. The following notice, says Harper's Weekly, is posted in the Spencer Hotel, in Marion: "Discourteous treatment by the waiters, if reported to the proprietor, will be greatly appreciated." LUCK. A cub reporter on a Seattle paper was sent to write the story of a very rich man, who had met with foul play.

"And now, since we have got to part, let us go together!"

September 8, 1914. Last night a crowd of us came down on the train, found pillows on which to lay our heads in the town of Bellingham, and to-day we went up to register. The hall was absolutely impermeable, impenetrable, inaccessible, and untraversable by seven A. M., and we got there at eight. I leave the rest to your imagination. Oh, Diary Dear! Most of the people up here seem very pleasant and everybody grins at everybody else. Lots of them have been here before. I think the year will be a very happy one. September 10. Classes began to-day. Doctor Deerwester seems to have a sense of humor. September 11. Our first assembly to-day and Doctor Nash spoke to us, following an address given by the former President, Doctor Mathes. Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Mathes gave some musical numbers. "Toot for your own School. Buy a horn, and put the little hammer away!" was given us for our motto. The other members of the Faculty extended the various specimen of their good will to us, and then we "moseyed" back to classes. September 14. Football practice to-day. September 15. Miss Wilson rode forth on her hobby. September 18. I got my sieat in assembly. So did the other eight hundred. September 23. Doctor Norton, of Korea, addressed us during assembly. We ran over time, but we should worry, when we can hear anything so good as this. I believe I'll go to Korea to teach. September 28. Miss Baker tells us of the progressive meeting she attended. I don't know, but I think I'll be a progressive too. Sometimes I'm kind of afraid that these teachers are trying to mould our lives! They constantly present new and attractive ideas. September 30. "In the future," says the Doctor, "the ladies of the Faculty may make their own announcements." Miss Baxter brought it on their heads by her excellent speech in assembly. One month has flown. October October 1. Hail to the return of Summer. In reality it is but Summer's spirit returned lo tide the Autumn over with sunshine and blue skies. October 3. Bellingham Normal football team defeated 7 to 0 by Ferndale. Doctor Nash has a cheery word for the boys. "Many times Page Two Hundred Five ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 206 ---------- great things come through defeat." I wonder if there is any truth in that? I shall think about it. October 5. Miss Brown gave us some interesting moments in assembly this morning, but it was a program rendered wholly by proxy. The Great War was introduced by Doctor Raymond, who spoke on Constantinople. October 6. The Junior Class Officers were elected. Ben Tidball was made President; Ethel Milner, Secretary, and Archie Turnbull, Treasurer. Doctor Raymond speaks on Russia. October 7. Lew Greene urges more football enthusiasm. October 9. Albert Hennes, though not an "All American Yell King," as yet is "Some Yell Kink" just the same. He taught us two new ones, and told us about the old ones. October 10. Team plays Mount Vernon-42 to 0. October 12. Doctor Nash sings, "Asa's Death," from "Peer Gynt" Suite, at assembly. I certainly enjoyed it, and so did the other eight hundred. Mr. Bond- seems as if it ought to be Professor Bond-spoke about the value of a College Education. We shall all make it a point to go to college now. October 14. Mrs. Sampson of Hawaii, sang the Hawaiian National song, and some others in the native tongue, accompanying herself on a "Ukilalee" the while. I think it would be great fun to teach in Hawaii. I wonder if they will accept our diplomas there? Me for the Land of the Rainbow. October 16. "The Rosary" and "A Perfect Day" were sung very excellently and with much feeling by Miss Drake. Dr. Nash returned from Okanogan, bringing greetings from many older sisters and brothers in Alma Mater. Our School seems to have made a record, and the way you spell it is this: E-F- F-I-C-I-E-N-C-Y ! I hope none of us will forget about this. It's sure some record! October 19. "Modern Poetry" receives its due at the hands of Miss Edens. One of the best talks we've had this year. Waffle Day at the Cafeteria. October 20. Washington's First Annual Apple Day! The Cafeteria on hand with the needful. October 21. Mrs. Smith reads. Once more does the spirit of Modern Poetry rejoice in its interpreter. We got in the Movies to-day, besides, the whole eight hundred and one of us. Aida Uddenberg made an awful face as she passed the camera. Our first fire-drill and a chance to escape half aperiod. October 22. I haven't seen Mr. Hartranft since he used to come out to our home years ago, and fill himself full of Strawberry Shortcake, and tell time-honored stories (much to his wife's disgust). And to-day he appeared, looking just the same as ever, regardless of the fact that eight hundred of us have grown up in the meantime, and addressed the Primary Methods Class. Am I irrelevant, Dear Diary? October 23. The Seniors march triumphantly into the Auditorium and chant reflections on the other Classes and triumphal praises of their own. Hurray for our side! Mr. Epley gives us the Agricultural Bug. I wonder if I saved half of my salary for ten years, could I buy a farm? Page Two Hundred Six ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 207 ---------- October 26. Mr. and Mrs. Gebaroff entertain the students. October 28. Miss Mildred Robinson entertains us with her violin. We recognize Genius in the bud and are glad that little Miss Robinson has Madame Davenport-Engberg for her teacher. The Class has its Hallowe'en Party. I mean the Seniors, of course, when I say The Class. October 31. Yesterday and the day before was vacation for all but the Training School Teachers. Our Team holds Mt. Vernon down to a 0-0 score. And so flits the Second Month. November November 2. Some team spirit exhibited to-day and the Dog yelped wildly for his "Own State Normal." November 3. Election Day. November 4. Doctor Nash appoints Miss Hays to speak on the W. E. A. November 6. Mr. Hulse talked to us about the schools at Gary, Indiana. I wish all schools were models. November 7. Our Team plays Anacortes, with result of 7 to 13. November 9. Teaching assignments posted. We get "Shooed" out of the hall by Doctor Nash, who disbelieves in blocking traffic. In Assembly Miss Jensen talked about Ideals. It seems that Ideals are valu-able and not to be scoffed at. Assembly finished before the bell this time. November 13. Doctor Eliot, son of Harvard's President Emeritus, spoke to us to-day. More about Ideals and Idealism. Must be something in it! November 16. We beat Ferndale, 6 to 0. November 16. Our landlady moralizes at the table. It's no wonder I'm blue. A light snow fell this morning, and what with red noses, and cold feet, and the quarter commencing and everyone cross as two sticks, at home and at school and on the streets and everywhere. It's no wonder they call it Blue Monday! If I had a nickel I'd go to a Movie! Maybe Hannah will lend me one. November 18. "The King of the Golden River," given us by Miss Drake's Class. . November 20. "Hail, Normal Hail" is introduced to us by Doctor Nash. It's a great song, and every word true! November 21. Last night the Y. W. C. A. gave their annual banquet. The Juniors had their Class Party this evening, a "Hard Times" turnout. The Team played the North Side. November 23. I'm so busy I can'" get time to study. Mr. Hoppe, from Cheney Normal, read "The Fortune Hunter," this evening. The Faculty entertained the visiting "Pedagogs" at a reception. I am told they had "eats." It pays to be a Pedagog. Miss Fox, traveling Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., spoke at assembly. Page Two Hundred Seven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 208 ---------- November 24. Junior Class Meeting. Yells distributed. I wonder if they have as much "pep." as they let on. Tryouts for Junior Play. November 25. Vacation Ho! I'd like to hug every one of our Pilgrim forefathers for their bright idea in establishing a Day of Thanksgiving. Five days in Seattle! Only think of it, Dear Diary! November 30. Special Assembly to-day reminded us that such things as Assemblies do really exist after all, and that the Thanksgiving Recess is fast fading into the past. Doctor Moody, of Africa, spoke about that wonderful continent. I believe I could make a living in Africa! In the interests of The Peace Society, Mr. Jones spoke of the brave little land of Belgium and pleaded for aid for its wounded and starving citizens. My quarter told me that it wanted to go to Belgium. That means five "Movies," but since I'm not much of a seamstress and can't assist the Home Ec. in their good work, I think I'll let it go. The hat is to be passed at the next Assembly. Mr. Jones is some pleader to be able to take the nickels from Normal students! After his talk Miss Mead gave us an example of stirring patriotism in her speech entitled, "Thank God for America!" And so speeds November to its close! December December 1. There's a feeling in the air already, and the stores are blossoming out with multitudes of poinsettias and pearly mistletoe and shining dark holly leaves, inset with crimson berries. It's the gay time of the year, and the girls are all wearing red and white sweaters and coats and stocking caps, and the wind takes the trouble to blow from the North, and altogether we feel quite like the picture postcards of wintry scenes, even if we are fortunate enough to live on the Pacific Coast! December 2. Mrs. Deerwester gave a recital at Assembly to-day. Kipling's "Recessional" was the selection which attracted the most comment, but we enjoyed everyone of Mrs. Deerwester's songs. I bade my quarter a fond farewell and dropped it into Mr. Jones' hat at the door of the Auditorium to-day. December 4. Virginia came in for her share of our attention to-day, when Miss Montgomery addressed the students in Assembly. "Those West Virginia Hills" was sung very sweetly by Miss Murphy. December 5. The Philo program netted forty-three dollars and five cents for the Belgians. All praise to the Philo's! December 7. The stern figure of the Janitor is seen guarding the doors of the Auditorium from all late comers to-day. "Is There Any Christianity in Warring Europe?" is the question Miss Knowles discussed to-day. December 9. "A Grand Opera Season In New York" was the theme of Miss McCarthy's address. We heard some of the life stories of the Great Ones and learned that Caruso was one of a family of twenty-three children. Another case of genius emerging from a large family. Page Two Hundred Eight ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 209 ---------- We also learned something of the life of the late Madame Nordica, who was Lillian Norton before her career began. Say, Diary! Some day let's go where we can hear the fine things of the world sung first hand. I'm pick of Victrola records, now that Miss McCarthy has enthused us so. December 12. On Saturday night "The Bird of Paradise" was given at the Metropolitan Theatre. I went, and so did the rest of the School. All the Dignitaries of the "Institushun" were seated in the "Normal Box" with the "scum." December 14. Miss Nickerson gave us a talk on "Settlement Houses in Buffalo." The Juniors think they are pretty smart, but the Seniors "showed 'em." Let 'em keep the pieces of their pennant. The Victory is Ours! December 16. Mr. W. Bridge Jones, assisted by Mrs. Jones, gave us a recital this morning. Mr. Jones sang the following group of songs: "The Total Eclipse," "Yesterday and To-day," "Thou Art Like a Child" and "Soldier's Farewell." President Wilson (not Woodrow, but the Ellensburg "Prexy)", spoke to us and one thing which he gave us to think about was this: The idea that a strong life cannot long remain in darkness. I hope that there are eight hundred or so who will remember this and not hesitate a moment longer to tie onto a star. December 18. Miss Norton gives us inside information on the Coal Mine War in Colorado. It certainly was interesting. December 21. Went to a Movie and came home in a jitney. Mr. Patchin spoke about Salt Lake City to-day. Shades of Shakspoke! Where did the man acquire the vocabulary. December 23. The Training School gave a fine program, after which we flew for the interurbans, boats and trains. Home again at last, but I'll believe people now when they tell me that the Tunnel under Seattle is the longest tunnel in the world. And it isn't just because it runs from Virginia to Maine (Streets) either! It's the feeling that a person gets when his home town looms up and the train stops just outside. December 30. Christmas is over. The Saint left lots of presents in his wake and once again we turn to school. January fifth is the fatal day. And thus December speeds and the year Nineteen Fourteen is spun into the pale but royal purple of the past. May our New Year prove as full of hope and striving as the Old. January January 5. Back to the field of our strenuous endeavor. January 6. Doctor Nash wishes us all a Happy New Year. We certainly hope that same thing will occur to him, and to the other "ministering spirits." January 7. Doctor Deerwester is seen with a vicious expression on. January 8. Doctor Deerwester appears to be lost in thought on several occasions when alone in his office. Miss Sands talks about Japan, and shows beautiful views of the Page Two Hundred Nine ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 210 ---------- little island of the East. I wonder if anybody in Yokohama needs a governess? The Basketball team won from Sedro-Woolley. Hurrah! January 9. Doctor Deerwester makes out Exam. Questions in the privacy of his home, but is seen by one of the official class spies, and we are warned that something of unusual "direness' is about to take place on Monday. The Doctor consumed nearly a ton of sour pickles while making out the questions. There ought to be a law forbidding the sale of sour pickles to Professors. We shall all have to stay home from the Movies to-day and memorize our History of Ed.! Say, Bo, who was Comenius? January 11. Monday, Miss Rhodes gave a talk on Art. Fine! Both the arts and the talk. Exam. in History of Education. We were asked to name all the great Educators of the World and tell the stories of their lives. I put Doctor Deerwester down at the top of the list! That was Policy, wasn't it? I just know I'll get an "A." January 12. Doctor Deerwester was seen late last night eating sweet pickles and correcting papers! January 13. We wonder if maybe we couldn't improve our grades by inviting ,'them" to go to Movies with us once in a while? If Mary Campbell will take Miss Sperry, I'll take Mrs. Thatcher. To- day in Assembly, we listened to a worth-while recital by Mrs. Nash, wife of our President, who was assisted by Mrs. W. Bridge Jones. Her songs were, "My Heart, Oh Thy Sweet Voice," from "Mallinote," Samson and Delilah; "In the Time of Roses," and "The Star." And altho the student body made manifest oodles and oodles of appreciative enthusiasm, she refused an encore and we had to be satisfied. January 15. Some cunning children in the Senior Class. Oh, to have curls like Grace Munsen's! I wish we could be young again; or, if not, that we could have Kid Parties every night! January 16. The Juniors had a Kid Party too. Copy-cats! January 17. The Mid-Years were given opportunity and incentive to attend church to-day, and a few of the rest of us went along. The Baccalaureate Sermon was preached at the Baptist church. January 22. Goodbye to the Mid-Year Seniors, and God-speed! Soon do we follow! The fifth month of the School Year flies, and Nineteen-Fifteen is one month old already. February February 1. Mrs. Termaat's subject was most interesting and the Cotton Industry occupies a more prominent position in my apperceptive mass than heretofore. February brings the snowdrops and the other first flowers of our Coast spring-time. There is still a place in the wardrobe for the dear old stocking cap, however. February 2. The Junior girls won from the Freshmen girls in Basketball. February 3. Mrs. Thatcher gave one of the best talks of the year Page Two Hundred Ten ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 211 ---------- and supplemented her lecture on the music of the Indians, by personal rendition of several very sweet, plaintive, native songs. And altho we like and respect her choice of Victrola records, we are always better pleased when we can hear Mrs. Thatcher herself sing. February 5. We didn't know that there was a second Carolyn Wells hidden in the Faculty Hedge. When shall we hear again from Miss Willoughby? February 8. Pullman Glee Club entertains us. Miss Wilson talks interestingly on New Orleans. February 10. Miss Sperry talks on her European trip. February 12. Lincoln's birthday was justly celebrated this year. Bunny Welch read a part from "The Crisis." You know that part where Lincoln leaves Stephen Brice and Virginia Carvel alone in his inner office, after his reprieve of Clarence Colfax. And where it speaks of the Stars and Stripes floating once again in sight of the home of George Washington, and you feel sad to think there was a time when a different Flag streamed out in the sunshine of our capitol! Some Bunny! Joyce Day also helped to make the day a success and her work was equally well received by most, and on account of its serious quality, better appreciated by many. February 13. Vancouver plays the Normal. February 17. A speech that topped them all was given to-day by Dr. Deerwester. The Life of Luther Burbank was the topic, and we were all inspired to investigate the field of Natural Experimentation and Research. February 19. Miss Neff read to us in Assembly, in honor of the Birthday of Washington. We sang National Hymns and felt very patriotic. I think we Washingtonians have a right to feel an intense reverence and love for the one for whom our State is named. It gives us just one more reason to celebrate the memory of the Father of Our Country! The Normal beat Van Wyck. Class, eh? February 23. Miss Woodbury, of New York City, talked to us to-day on the Immigration Question. February 24. Miss Lawrence holds forth on "Et-a-Cat." February 28. On the twenty-sixth we had a Special Assembly, and Mr. Sampson, the former President of the Cheney Normal, talked to us. The question that we are left to answer is this: Are we up to standard? Are we One Hundred per cent. efficient, physically, mentally, and spiritually? And if not what are we to do? Evidently that's for Mr. Sampson to know and the rest of us to find out! What'll we do about it? February is over at last. It's a brief month, but it takes full Page Two Hundred Eleven ---------- Klipsun, 1915 - Page 212 ---------- Normal Students WE TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN THANKING EACH AND EVERYONE FOR YOUR PATRON-AGE DURING the SCHOOL YEAR To those that will return, we wish to be able to serve you as before; assuring you that we will give you the best at a moderate price.

March Mr. McClelland's talk on the Missionary Field was a good one, but I don't suppose I'd do for a Missionary unless it was a Flower Mission. March 2. Our Team defeats the North Side High.
