His subject was "The Way to Universal Peace." Dr. Jordan is one of the world's leaders in the movement for universal peace. He said that the blame for the wars that come can be laid at the door of the landed aristocracy, the nobility and the wealthy, who are exploiters of weaker nations. He declared that a small clique of military conspiritors plunged Germany into the present struggle, much against the wishes of Kaiser Wilhelm. There is a military caste in all the warring nations. Dr. Jordon believes that a democracy is stronger than an autocracy. A government like that of the United States cannot well be overthrown, since it rests on a hundred million pillars and it is impossible that any majority of these pillars can at one time be undermined or rotten. An empire, on the other hand, rests on one, or, at the most, a few pillars, and will inevitably fall as soon as those few supports become weak. It is for this reason that we may look forward to radical changes in European governments when the war shall end. The following day, in assembly, Dr. Jordan talked on Mexico. He has traveled in Mexico, studied the country, and knows much about the conditions there. He gave something of mie history of the trouble in that unfortunate country, and discussed the pres-ent status of the war there. To the person who has formed his opinions of Mexico from the average newspaper and magazine, this talk was very illuminating. He brought out the justice of the cause of the Constitutionalists, and at the same time the pur-pose of the rebels. Right is not all on one side. Dr. Jordan made a powerful impression on the students. He has a pleasing personality and an air if simplicity and sincerity. He is kind, truly democratic, and approachable to all. The crud-est and humblest of Stanford's students always found in him an interested friend. On the lecture platform he is simple in de-livery. He has a play of wit, very subtle, but exceedingly human. Dr. Jordan is ranked as America's greatest ichtyologist, and one of the most eminent scientists. His field of work covers, also, that of assayist, geographer, poet, scholar, teacher, administrator and writer of children's stories. During the last few years he has devoted most of his time to the promotion of peace and is known all over the world as a leader in this movement. [I- 1 L-3. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 33 ---------- Ce Function of Art in Life Believing that there are many who would wish to preserve something of the splendid address, delivered this year to the stu-dents by Dr. Suzzallo, of the University of Washington, we give the main thoughts in brief form. Man is so small when we think of him in relation to the uni-verse, yet if he obey the spiritual, moral, and physical laws, op-portunities come many times when conditions in the world about him may be changed. Besides the something of the creature which we find in man, there is something divine-he is half creator. In one case, he makes himself over. All life is a choosing, a disciplining, in order that an individual may fit his environment. Numerous phases of life may be recreated to insure more pleasing surroundings. The function of art is to make life effi-cient-- at its best to bring the beauties of life to sight. Continued striving for the congenial and pleasing things, and the desire to make them permanent, will satisfy the higher planes of nature. A true artist in life always picks out the best and leaves the rest-sees art in every walk in life-in every endeavor. Literary expression is likewise extremely important, in as much as words associate beauty-they bring up the aesthetic. Words are the most wonderful coins by which we pay our way into the enchantments of life. The appreciation of beauty in lit-erature can transform our existence to another-one era to an-other. Then, too, the function of art is to look on the realities of the world, to see what is ugly, change and enhance beauty in every possible way. The true gentlemen and ladies of life are those that see some beauty in everything-who emphasize that which is con-genial or desirable. Art might be said to fall into two general classes-great art, and beautiful art. Often in a scene or landscape there is much of beauty, with little ugliness to hush- this is beautiful art. But great art can deal with an ugly subject, bringing beauty from something possessing little. The sculptor who produced that great work of Laacoon and his sons, was a master hand. In our daily life, great art is the dealing with stubborn, difficult situations, and finding beauty in them. Art follows us everywhere-it should be universal. Let us be devotees of perfect art at all times, growing through our indi-vidual choices, training our emotions through our actions. Beauty is idealized reality, and art is realized idealism, so all may become "fine artists" in life. CV0A ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 34 ---------- Is Poetry Important? On February 26 Edmund Vance Cooke, the well known American poet and lecturer, gave in our Auditorium a delightful program from his own writings. It is seldom that the qualities of good reader and writer are so excellently combined as is the case of Edmund Vance Cooke. His rare bits of philosophy are priceless. His easy conversational manner of rendering his poems is pleasing. Despite the fact that "I am a popular man," which is the stamp impressed upon his every movement, we as mere students accept this as a blessing rather than a fault. While reciting the "Little Tot Lyrics," Mr. Cooke succeeded in taking us conventional, matter of fact grown-ups back to child-hood days. We were most forcefully impressed by his keen in-terpretation of "When Company Comes." Mr. Cooke gave some good character work in his "Fin de Siecle." This sketch gave a peculiar view of life, as interpreted by an erratic, pessimistic, hopeless Englishman. The horizon of life lay very near his monacle, which by the way was worn only on one eye. We felt that the same character was not sustained all through the selection, though we grant that on the whole the interpretation was very clever. We regretted the time so lavishly spent on the minor groups of Mr. Cooke's program which could have been so well utilized on the "Rimes of Real Religion" and the "Larger Nationalism." In dealing with the former, Mr. Cooke expressed some of his choice philosophy regarding "Real Religion," or in exact summary: "Every man's religion is the best possible religion, providing it is his." "The Larger Nationalism" was probably the most appreciated group. The individual poems that struck the high notes of deep feeling, and true understanding were "Each for All" and the "Un-common Commoner." Mr. Cooke left this message with us: "Patriotism is like charity; it covers a multitude of sins and should be a world-wide interest." n r ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 35 ---------- School Calendar September 5-Registration.

IL3 YO A.L ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 39 ---------- TJMEiTnt 4ee.I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 40 ---------- r bI SAM E. CARVER Director of Men's Athletics ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 41 ---------- FOOTBALL On the morning of September 12, the following notice was read and posted in the Normal: "First Football Turnout at 4:10." Coach Sam Carver, after a summer tutorage under some of the best coaches in California, was eager to have the football season open, and have his plans of the year put in operation. With a spirit that is characteristic of success, twenty-five men reported at 4:10 and received football equipment for the year. From the opening of the season until the close, November 11, the athletic field was plowed and tramped by the ambitious huskies of the school. Through rain, snow, or sunshine they practiced determinedly and diligently in their efforts of giving the Normal school a worthy representative on the football field. The sound of the pigskin as they were kicked or clutched to their breasts, in the first week's practice, brought to many the happy realization that they were active and alive. A few weeks of tackling and run-ning with the ball made all the players respect the qualities of mother earth, but it also put them in the pink of condition, and with another week's signal and scrimmage practice the players eagerly awaited the opening of the season. The football squad of 1916 was characterized by the co-oper-ative, willing, happy spirit of all the candidates for positions on the team. This spirit imbibed with fighting and staying qualities and guided by stellar coaching made the B. S. N. S. football team the greatest non-conference machine in the Northwest. Seven games were played and the B. S. N. S. scored a total of 348 points to their opponents' 42. B. S. N. S. 80-FERNDALE 0 Ferndale High School was the first team to feei the cutting edge of Coach Carver's machine. The game was played on the Normal athletic field and witnessed by a large crowd, who were eager to see the team in action. While the offensive power of the team was all one could wish, it was weak in breaking up forward passes, Ferndale completing six out of a dozen attempts at the pass-ing game. The Normal line held like a stone wall and opened wide gaps for the fast, hard-hitting backfield men, resulting in the Normal scoring 80 points to Ferndale's 0. The Normal showed itself to be a splendid, fighting, eleven-man team, evenly balanced from end to end. B. S. N. S. 50-ANACORTES 0 Playing in Anacortes, after an eventful trip on a small boat in rough weather, the B. S. N. S. team snowed under their lighter opponents by a score of 50 to 0. The game was rather slow in IY D ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 42 ---------- gt; 0d c N31 1 42V ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 43 ---------- places, due in a large measure to the physical condition of the players after the trip on the water. Nevertheless, the game was hard played with the Normal showing marked improvement. B. S. N. S. 25- EVERETT 7 The game with Everett was the game that every player made up his mind to win. The good- natured slogan that urged the play-ers on, when tired and bruised, throughout the early season's practice, was, "Beat Everett." At two-thirty B. S. N. S. came on the field with a set determin-ation which could not be denied. Eleven players with one thought were eager to clash with their most formidable opponents. With the sound of the whistle the team swung into action and in less than five minutes had crossed Everett's goal for a touchdown. From whistle to whistle the contest was bitterly fought, brawn and skill against brawn and skill. The Normal would not be denied, however, and crossed Everett's goal four times, making a total of 25 points, including one goal kick. Everett's score came during the last two minutes of play when the Normal weakened for a moment, resulting in its goal being crossed. The score, made by B. S. N. S. against Everett is the largest that any Bellingham team has made in the history of athletic relations between the two cities. MOUNT VERNON ATHLETIC CLUB 21-B. S. N. S. 7 The victory over Everett caused some of the players to ease up in their efforts and fail to appear for scrimmage. There being only eleven men reporting for practice, no practice could be had and in consequence, when the team journeyed to Mount Vernon they fell a victim to over confidence and the athletic club. Dur-ing the first few minutes of play Mount Vernon completely be-wildered the Normal with a series of clever plays, ably directed by Coach Jenne. Mount Vernon scored before the teams were warmed up and thus got the jump on the Normal. The athletic club proved to be a fighting aggregation and played great ball while the Normal's playing was marked by spasmodic efforts and fumbling. During the last few minutes Normal hit her pace and with machine-like preciseness marched down the field for a touch-down. The Normal team used the forward pass to good advant-age in the making of their only score. Coupled with the discomfort of being defeated, when they were not in condition, came the news that E. Davis would be out for the season with a dislocated shoulder. B. S. N. S. 46--COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 0 Smarting with defeat and eager to show what brand of football they were capable of playing, the B. S. N. S. invaded Tacoma and O D-A =, - - ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 44 ---------- played in the Stadium against their old rivals, C. P. S. Every man resolved to play his best and gave all he had, in his efforts to up-hold the colors of his Alma Mater. Commenting upon the game, the Tacoma Ledger says: "With every cog running smoothly, the well-built and well-operated football machine of the State Normal School of Belling-ham scored a 46 to 0 victory in the Stadium over the College of Puget Sound. The superiority of the team play exhibited by the pedagogs entitled them to the victory by the margin indicated. The Bellingham players developed interference that would have been baffling to much more experienced players. Gaffney ran the team with a smoothness and precision that would give battle to almost any Northwestern combination." B. S. N. S. 6-ANACORTES ALL-STARS 0 Playing on the Normal grounds in a sea of mud, Coach Car-ver's combination proved themselves masters of the best Anacortes had to offer. Anacortes fought hard and played to the best of its ability but were no match for the Normal crushing machine. Pounding Anacortes' line hard, the Normal put over a touchdown a few minutes after the game started. From then on it was a battle for the survival of the fittest and the Normal proved to be the stronger in the arts of surviving, sliding, falling and in the ability of hanging on to the elusive, water-soaked pigskin. The game was featured by brilliant open-field runs, terrific line smashes, and an ever-advancing Normal line. B. S. N. S. 78-COLLEGE OF PUGET SOUND 14 To some members of the team this was the last game of foot-ball; to other members it was the last of the seasonl916, so all en-deavored to have the score carved out in numerals to their liking. Most of the players were satisfied with the score of 78 to 14, as they know that the numerals are difficult to carve. The Normal team played straight football and pounded over twelve touchdowns. The visiting team made their touchdowns by completing a forward pass and then gaining by intercepting a Normal forward pass. The ground was as hard as cement and partly covered with ice, which made time out for injuries frequent. The game was well played and the team left the field in a cloud of glory, to leave their suits to be filled by those to come in the future. Certainly the Normal is proud of its 1916 football team, whose efforts have resulted in the most successful football season in the history of the school.

Games were played with some of the best teams in this part of the Northwest. Whatcom High, interscholastic champions of the state, considered the Normal team as out of and above her class, so no game was played between these two rivals. Games were also scheduled with the University of Washington and Whitman College, but failed to materialize be-cause the bigger schools at the last moment changed their plans and refused to clash with the husky blue and white squad. We were naturally disappointed, as our aspirations were high, but devoting and directing our energy and skill to the downfall of other teams, we succeeded in winning nine straight games. The squad was made up of seven husky, fighting, never-stop-ping basket- caging artists, each one a star at his position. These seven, chosen from a field of thirty, were moulded into a well-nigh perfect machine, by the excellent coaching of Coach Carver, and proved its worth by failing to crack, no matter how strong the opposition brought against it. The teamwork of the squad was somewhat hampered by the smallness of our gym, but when put on a strange, large floor, as in Vancouver, the teamwork was unrestrained and the fans wit-nessed an ideal basketball game, clean, fast, furious and exciting. The team played in great form when away from home and stamped its brand of quality as invaders by defeating Everett 47 to 29 and the Prosser Athletic Club, the pride of Eastern Wash-ington, by a score of 45 to 18.

When ball meets bat the baseball diamond is turned into a movie; nine nervous, active, restless men move in a general direction with the idea of getting the ball and prevent-ing runs, while the batter dashes madly to first base. This mov-ing picture was seen when the B. S. N. S. baseball team crossed bats with some of the best amateur ball teams in the Northwest this spring. Early in March, with the appearance of a warm spring sun, came the annual call for baseball material. Twenty likely candi-dates responded to the first turn-out for practice on the Sehome grounds. With two weeks' practice came the weeding process, which resulted in fourteen well-qualified ball tossers receiving suits. The team was made up of former high school stars and promised to develop into a speedy aggregation under the capable leadership of Captain Wright. Shobert of Ridgefield had every-thing his own way as far as the backstop man and held down in fine form the swift and difficult balls of Pitchers Stevens, Dish-man, and Breuer. The infield, made up of "Ora" Sitton at first, "Rube" Wagner at second, "Bud" Rairdon at third, and Captain Wright at short, proved fast and sure. They fielded like leaguers. In the outer garden Jess White, "Hal" Wold and "Kid" Karlson seemed to have steady berths, while Washke and Lee acted as subs. On account of the war, games were difficult to arrange, but the following games appear on the season's list: Two games with Blaine, two with Whatcom High, one with Bremerton, and one with Burlington. B S N S 4-RBL.AINE 3 Bunching hits and h Normal team to change a to\rCy~ -over the fast, hard-it ting at the critical moments enabled the threatened defeat into a well-earned vic-hitting Blaine nine. Although the field -Y ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 54 ---------- ,- MFM , ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 55 ---------- was heavy and slow, the game was well played and replete with sensational fielding. Air-tight ball was played for seven innings, when Wright broke into the run-getting column by hitting a single and later scoring on an overthrow to third. Blaine came back in the eighth and scored another, giving them a total of three. With the score standing 3 to 1 against them, the Normal players came to bat determined to do their best. Wold was hit with a pitched ball and Sitton hit safe to right field, scoring Wold and reaching third. Sitton scored the needed run, on an infield play, which tied the score. Blaine failed to score in the tenth inning. In the last of the tenth Shobert was hit with a pitched ball and scored the winning run when White smashed out a two-base hit into left field. The features of the game were the errorless fielding of the Normal outfield and the pitching of Bruns, the visiting slabman, who whiffed eleven men and allowed only three hits. Stevens and Dishman twirled effectively for the Normal. TRACK Despite the military recruits and unfavorable weather condi-tions, the B. S. N. S. track squad practiced faithfully and diligently this year. Beginning cross-country runs early in March the squad soon got into condition and by May were a worthy representative of the school in field and track events. Track meets were arranged with Whatcom High and Mount Vernon High during the early part of May. Those who upheld the honor of the school in this branch of athletics were the following: Shobert, Horst, Haracich, Autrieth..................50- and 100-yard dashes E .

JUNIOR SECOND TEAM Klassall Merriman Hagen Jackson Tyler 60 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 61 ---------- GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls' athletics have been unusually successful at Normal this year. A greater variety of athletics has been offered than ever before, i. e., hockey, basketball, swimming, baseball and ten-nis. To Miss Nickerson, and her assistant, Miss Skalley, who have worked untiringly for us throughout the year, is due most of the credit for the fine sportsmanship and showing made by the girls. To every girl in the school this year has come an oppor-tunity to partake in some form of athletics. Those who have not availed themselves of this opportunity have missed an immeasur-able amount of fun and good fellowship. HOCKEY On October 7, a meeting for all senior girls interested in hockey was called. The girls responded so well that regular practice periods were organized under the supervision of Miss Nickerson. On pleasant days the hockey field was a scene of ex-citement from early till late. The girls were a little disappointed, however, in not being able to play class games, owing to the fact that the rainy season set in earlier than usual last fail. BASKETBALL Basketball has this year, as always before, been the main event for the girls. Here the teams representing the various classes are given a chance to clash for the class honors. A series of games is arranged in which each team gets an opportunity to meet an opposing team three times during the year. The team winning the most games has its name and the date engraved on the Kline cup. This is considered a tremendous honor and is the cause of much speculation as to the winning team. On November 1, the girls organized and decided to play modi-fied boys' rules. The girls began practicing with a vim and from the first until the last game the gym was a scene of lively ac-tivity. A captain and manager were chosen to represent each team: Bernadine Hilliard, captain; and Genie Watrous, manager of the Senior team; Lydia Nichols, captain, and Elizabeth Arnold man-ager of the Junior team; Ethel McKinnon, captain, and Vida Deigh, manager of the Elementary team. The following schedule was arranged: January 31-Senior 27; Elementary 3. February 2-Senior 17; Junior 13. February 7-Junior 45; Elementary 7. February 16-Senior 12; Junior 13. February 28-Senior 15; Junior 17.

Appleton, Spuri-geon, Sickenger, Brotnov, Day. Sitting-Gassler, Jacobson. Although all teams played well and showed splendid training, it was evident early in the season that the contest would be be-tween the Juniors and Seniors. The first game between the Juniors and Seniors ended in a score of 17 to 13 in favor of the Seniors. The Seniors were more experienced and showed better team work. Instead of being discouraged, the Juniors began diligent prac-tice and brought up their team work until they were able to de-feat their Senior rivals by a score of 13 to 12 in the second game. With the score close in each game and each class with one victory to its credit the excitement grew intense. As the crowd began to gather the Juniors were placed on one side of the gym and the Seniors on the other. The whistle blew at 7:30 o'clock the night of February 28, and the game was on that was to decide the fate of the Kline cup. Both teams were equally matched in ability. For what the Seniors lacked in size they made up in quickness. Every girl on the teams played a fast, cool, and above all, clean game. The game ended in a score of 17- 15 in favor of the Juniors. It was indeed a pleasure to see the excellent manner in which the Senior girls took their defeat. It might be only fair to mention that the Seniors had a total of more points in the three games than the Juniors. These teams are without a doubt the closest matched that have ever played for the Kline cup. Im- !~l - ._..3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 64 ---------- mediately after the game a spread was given to the basketball girls. Here many good snapshots were taken of the girls as they eagerly devoured the cake, candy and other dainties, which had not been allowed to them during the training period. It is the Senior basketball girls who will put their shoulders to the wheel in time of need. Was it not the basketball girls who got up and caught the 6:45 car to the south side April 14, walked all the way to Chuckanut, and marked both trails up the mountain for the Marathon? Why did they pick on the basketball girls, you say? Because they could be depended upon. As a finale for the basketball season the girls gave a party to the Junior girls at the home of Lydia Nichols, captain of the Junior team. LETTER GIRLS Seniors-Bernadine Hilliard, Jennie Kelley, Clara Hefty, Til-lie Hoyer, Freda Layton, Cosby Jackson, Leona Edmonds, Camilla Witte, Genie Watrous, Lucile Herrett. .Juniors-Elizabeth Eghert, Elizabeth Arnold, Esther Klasell, Mabel Newell, Carrie Morrow, Ruby Morgenthaler, Eva Tyler. BASEBALL As soon as bas-ketball was over in-door baseball was begun. More than one Senior has beeni heard to boast tha, the Seniors can de-feat the Juniors ini this. Of course time will settle the ques-tion but we all sin-cerely hope these t wo classes will again be given the opportunity to match their strength. TENNIS Owing to the late-ness of the season tennis was slow in starting. 'Tis sel-dom, however, in April and May that the courts were va-cant. No matter how busy students were they were able to find a few min-utes for tennis. Some exciting con-tests took place. KLINE CUP ELIZABETH JONES. II ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 65 ---------- LYJ 65 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 66 ---------- Thespian Dramatic Club The Thespian Club has always stood for achievement and this year it has more than proved a worthy claim-and for that honor. One excellent sample of what the Thespians are doing and can do was the play, "The House Next Door," further mention of which is made elsewhere in this book. The programs of the year have given evidence of originality on the part of the program com-mittee and diligent preparation by the participants. The follow-ing are some of the particularly enjoyable programs, though to do justice to the excellence of them all the entire numbers should be mentioned. The variety and quality of the impromptu responses given on initiation evening were prophetic of the good work the members were capable of doing. The "An Evening with Riley," consisting of readings of the noted poet's various works, a paper on the life of Riley and vocal and piano numbers proved a varied and en-joyable program. "The Bluebird," dramatized by club members and preceded by a study of its author's life, resulted in a keener appreciation of the beauty of Maeterlinck's style. Elaborate plans for the mid-year banquet at the Leopold cul-minated in a most delightful evening of good fellowship and the even more elaborate plans being made for the banquet the latter part of May give promise of a truly Thespian atmosphere when present and past members will "gather round the festive board" and forget dull care. The banquets of the year are not the only Ua t I- Ir Ir 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 67 ---------- truly social dates in the Thespian calendar, for many of the jolly times spent in the cafeteria after the meetings have provided ample proof that a most efficient refreshment committee presided over "the department of the interior." The truly patriotic program commemorating the anniversaries of Washington's and Lincoln's birth, consisting of the reading of "I Knew Lincoln," colonial tableaux, humorous and dramatic readings, etc., was another "red letter" evening of the year. Several clever sketches have been given at different evenings during the year, but one evening particularly memorable in that line was the "Evening with Dickens," when three exceedingly worthy sketches taken from works of Dickens were given. Ap-propriate stage setting, costumes of the time and a very old Eng-lish atmosphere prevailed. One evening the mysteries of the "movies," trick pictures, the history of the movies, impersonation of "movie" stars, and a three-reel drama itself further enlightened the members as to the im-portance of the new art. Old members are always more than welcome at programs, but they are thrice welcome when they provide such an excellent evening of entertainment as that provided by Thespian Alumni on the evening of April 5th. So, as we glance back over the year, we cannot but feel a thrill of pride in our club and its accomplishments and we are led to extend a vote of thanks to our faculty advisor, Mr. Hoppe, who has so ably guided the club to success, a vote of appreciation also to our faculty members, Miss Edens, Miss Skalley and Mr. Hughes, and three rousing cheers for Thespians, past, present aand future! t32 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 68 ---------- Philo Recollections for "1917" A stormy night, a cozy fireplace, and father and mother-it was all that was necessary for a fleeting trip into the past. Father started it as he sat staring at the crackling logs and listen-ing to the wind howling around the corner of the house. "Mother," he said, taking off his spectacles, "you haven't for-gotten that this is the week of the Philo Birthday Party?" If mother had not heard this question every November for years past, she might have evinced some surprise. Instead, she continued darning stockings and remarked, "Why, no, I was just thinking of it myself." Father leaned forward a little in his chair and gazed deeper into the flames. A little smile curled the corners of his mouth as he said, "My, how I like to think back to that good old year of nineteen seventeen. Don't you remember that first get-together picnic the Philos had at Whatcom Falls. How queer and lonesome we felt at first and then how we got mixed up in spite of ourselves and had the time of our lives." "Wasn't that the night Grace Foster brought fried chicken?" ventured mother. "Yes, it must have been, for don't you remember how fast it disappeared and we found that Gerald Van Horn was storing it away under the table, probably to devour later? It seems to me something queer happened on the car going home, but I can't just place it." Mother asserted herself again. "It was Mr. Troth. He per- 68 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 69 ---------- formed marvelous gymnastics over some of those poor car seats." "Why, yes, yes," smiled father. "That young rascal was al-ways up to something.' "I know one thing that still makes my heart beat faster." Mother so far forgot herself as to lay down her darning. "It was at the Philo initiation, when we girls found ourselves clinging frantically and unavoidably to the neck of gallant John Estes. Oh, it was awful, especially for the short ones." "That wasn't anything," pooh poohed father, "we boys actu-ally experienced the sensation of a drowning man. I was begin-ning to meditate blissfully on the future life when they pulled my head out of that tub of cold water." Mother's eyes twinkled suspiciously. "It must have been ter-rible, but I'll have to admit it did my heart good to see Mr. Potter's composure ruffled. His hair took to the water so nicely." Father meditated some time before answering. "Well, we surely did have same good eats in spite of the torture, but say, mother, you missed one of the dandiest times. Wasn't it during the Christmas holidays that Miss Jensen entertained the club so beau-tifully?" "Yes," came ruefully from mother, "but there was only one girl there. She had so much attention paid her that night she hasn't recovered since. I didn't miss the Valentine party anyway," she added. "Wasn't that the most fun? I believe I have my Valen-tine yet." Sa ..... i~l ~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 70 ---------- Mother, stated Dad in a solemn tone, "something about that party has always worried me. Do you recall that yarn Miss Al-mond told about her funniest proposal? I never could decide whether or not that was supposed to be true." "Well," admitted mother, "I don't know about that, but I al-ways felt that Mr. Johnson didn't especially enjoy that part of the program. "Do you know," she added, changing the subject, "I heard some one sing 'Mighty Lak a Rose,' the other day and I couldn't help remembering how we used to enjoy hearing Miss Meyers sing that. She always put in so much expression, I thought." "I believe the best times of all were those jolly picnics we had along in the spring. They were great." Father enthusiastically sat erect. "Yes, and above everything, don't forget the week end. That was best of all," championed mother. The wind outside reminded father of the cold and he ener-getically poked the logs till they crackled and sputtered. As he settled back in his chair, the firm lines of his face, which time and experience had placed there, chased away the smiles of recollec-ltion. "But seriously, mother, I have always felt that the training I got in the Philo programs and business meetings has been one of the big things in my life. It has helped me over so many rough places." "I know," whispered mother, laying her hand softly over his, "I have been proud of you more than once just because you knew exactly what to do and say at the right time." Father changed the subject abruptly. "We had some mighty distinguished people in our club that year. Let me see: There were Smith Carleton, president of the Student Association for the next year; Miss Welch, Editor of the Klipsun; Miss Mottman, li-brarian, and-" Mother filled in as he stopped for breath, "Mr. Baughman, manager of the book store; Mr. Troth, treasurer of the Senior class; Mr. Bean, president of the Junior class, and oh, dozens of others," she finished. "In fact," stated father stoutly, "I have never met a more loyal, more dependable bunch of folks. They all lived up to the motto, 'Once a Philo, always a Philo,' and of course," he added shyly, "I mustn't forget when I met you." Mother's eyes grew a little misty. Then, with a sunny smile, "You won't forget to mail that check tomorrow for the Philo Birthday Present." By BERNICE WINEMILLER. UI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 71 ---------- Studio Art Club The first few weeks of the school year were indeed busy ones, but we could not remain long on Sehome Hill without being im-pressed with the beauty of the surroundings, the ever changing vistas of the snow-crowned monarchs of the North, the clear, in-tense blue of the bay, and the marvelously brilliant sunsets. In-spired by the graudeur, is it any wonder that those interested in portraying nature found themselves, early in October, planning the organization of a club in which they could gratify this desire? This they proceeded to do and as a result, in the atelier meet-ings on Saturday mornings, have taken the practical work of char-coal and pencil rendering, water color technique, still life, sketch-ing from the model in pose, and outdoor sketching. So enthusi-astic did the workers often become that they had to be literally driven home to lunch. But as if this was not enough for the gay daubers, they devoted one night each month to art appreciation, not forgetting the gentle art of driving dull care away. Who will forget our Christmas jollification, with its clever surprises? Or the merry little valentine party; not to mention the grand old sketch-ing expeditions, where Miss Bisazza roasted our masterpieces, while we roasted weinies? At our banquet, the talent of the club was displayed in ways other than through the medium of the brush. Through the combined interest and efforts of our members and advisors, the Studio Club work has progressed with much suc-cess and real pleasure. Much of our inspiration and club spirit has been a result of Miss Bisazza's enthusiasm and conscientious ef- YOr ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 72 ---------- forts to instruct and advise us in all our undertakings. Miss Druse has also encouraged and guided us. Our officers have performed their duties loyally and are worthy of much praise and admiration. We only hope that next year the Studio Club will continue to live, be active, and exert even a wider influence than we have this year. To this end, we leave them the following: RECIPE FOR A MASTERPIECE Take all available inspiration and mix thoroughly with en-thusiasm the size of a bean, six ounces of energy and a cup and a half of intrepidation. To three steps of hesitation, (Preparation, Presentation, and Summary), add gradually by drops, a drop and a half of perspiration. Add sixty seconds of meditation and mix thoroughly with two hours of concentrated effort. Add a dash of pep (this is essential!). Place over club spirit and stir constantly with a mahl stick, until it reaches the boiling point of exasperation. Remove quickly, stir in a brushful of originality and flavor with essence of personality to taste. Turn out in paint pan moulds and place in the cooler (Room 306) from ten to twelve on Saturday morning. Garnish with futurist colors cut in cubist shapes. Stand back with contemplation and view with anticipation the realization of your "creation." This delectable production is guaranteed to tickle the palate of any connisseur. (The above proportions will serve generously, thirty insatiable club members). From the world (?) famous MONSIEUR (?)

Marshmallows and weinies were toasted around a huge bonfire and a general good time enjoyed. In October a Hallowe'en party was given in the Y. W. C. A. and Expression rooms under the leadership of Una Robinson. The evening was spent enjoying Hallowe'en games. Great excitement arose when "parts of the human body" were passed, and when the Gypsy foretold our future! How we were thrilled with the "Nursery Rhymes in Shadow Pictures!" We shall never forget the grand march to the cafeteria, where refreshments were served. Our next social event was the mixer of the Seattle and Ta- coma Clubs. This mixer was a huge success. First there was a program by both clubs in the Philo room, followed by a rush to the basement where everybody had to "shoot the chutes" to the large gymnasium. The gymnasium echoed with loud cheers and hilarity as Seattle won a victory over the Tacoma people in a lively, rousing indoor baseball game. After the game followed the Vir-ginia reel and folk dances. Before leaving ice cream and wafers were served to us at the refreshment booth in a miniature forest. Our first social event of the second semester was a Valentine party. The rooms were decorated with red hearts and cupids. New and appropriate games were enjoyed during the evening. In April another beach party at Squalicum Beach was a splen-did success. The year has been full of work and pleasure, and since many of the club members are Seniors, they wish the Seattle Club suc-cess in its future years and hope they may be as full of fun and gaiety to its new members as the past year has been to them.

OHIYESA Although the Ohiyesa Literary Society is one of the younger societies of the school, having sprung into existence last Septem-ber, it can by no means be classed among the lesser organizations. Each charter member has worked faithfully to aid the society in becoming a "winner," as the Indian name Ohiyesa signifies. When vacancies have occurred during the year, new members have been voted in, who proved equally zealous to build up this society as a lasting organization of the Bellingham Normal. Miss Gray and Dr. Kirkpatrick, sponsors of Ohiyesa, have made possible through their good counsel and interest, much of the rapid growth and success of the year. Our program committee, with Mina Merrick as standing chairman, has proved most efficient in the arrangement of suit-able and interesting programs or entertainments for each regular meeting, and for several special occasions. Two initiations, followed by a program and refreshments, were held in the early part of each semester. In February, the society enjoyed a unique Valentine party, and in March "Saint Patrick" was remembered in word, song, and jest. A very effec-tive patriotic program was rendered at one of the meetings. The most impromptu affair of the year was the sleigh ride enjoyed by Ohiyesa and several invited guests, during the heavy snow. The form of entertainment on the way to Ferndale was predominately musical. On arriving at the destination, gustatory entertainment replaced the singing and when at the end of a very pleasant evening, the lights of Bellingham again appeared in the distance, we all wished that sleigh rides came more than once a year. On Thursday evening, March twenty-second, our president, Mrs. King, entertained the members of Ohiyesa with a house- E3 YO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 77 ---------- warming party in her new home. Every one present reported an exceptionally pleasant time. During a brief business meeting, it was decided to plant a bed of rhododendrons on the campus, in the name of the society. Members of Ohiyesa working together have attempted to lay a foundation which will uphold the future growth of the so-ciety. They have gained much in the carrying on of the activities, in the planning of ideas to be consummated in future years and in the friendships formed. Those members who go out of school this spring leave with a wish for the success of Ohiyesa, and may its standard always proclaim it in all its enterprises, "the winner." 0 1 = ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 78 ---------- 4 I: -- I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 79 ---------- Social Democratic Club While the B. S. N. S. as a whole has been boasting of.its size this year, the Social Democratic Club has, in a quiet way, broken its previous membership and attendance records. The membership roll for 1916-17 contains thirty-three names and nearly every meeting night has found Mrs. Termaat's eighth grade room well occupied. Visitors have been more than numer-ous and appreciative, as well as appreciated. While no regular subjects of study were mapped out this season, current topics of a political and economic nature have furnished the club with material for long talks, short talks, de-bates, discussions and-perhaps an occasional plain "argument." "Open Forum" has proved the most interesting and spirited section of the club work and has often kept the society in session long after bed-time. Some outsiders, who have made effective talks, are Judge Pemberton of Bellingham, Misses Smith and Taube, of the local Y. W. C. A., Mr. Hazzard, of Seattle, and Marius Hansome, ex-'14, who is famed as instrumental in the organization of the club here at Normal. Among questions formally debated were: Resolved, That Preparedness Does Not Tend to Peace; and Resolved, That an Embargo Should he Placed Upon Shipmeni of Food to Belliger-ents. The skeptical and ignorant were inclined to believe "Social- Dems" incapable of merry-making, but this season they have been well convinced. Four rollicking good times are the proof. The first was an "election" party "out on 21st street;" the second, a Christmas jollification, with tree and trimmings, at the home of Mrs. Termaat and Miss Drake; next came the Valentine party, where Starr Sutherland won a submarine race, and then the in-formal luncheon honoring Mr. Hansome. The 1916-17 Social-Dems are particularly proud of their fac-uly members, Mrs. Termaat, Miss Drake, Dr. Herre and Mr. Bever. Each one has given loyal support to the programs and parties and has proved himself (or herself) as good a playmate as the young-est student.

Our vitality fairly froze in our veins, we groped about in utter darkness, but suddenly we beheld a brilliant light, and there before us we saw a sight that warmed the cockles of our frozen hearts. A delicious Hallowe'en spread of pumpkin pies, cider, apples, and candy witches blazed before us. Our Valentine party was a huge success. Many were the tender verses composed on that evening, gently the soft murmur of the Valentine spirit spread through the playroom. On this night our hearts were in perfect tune. The literary side of our organization has been emphasized the past year. We have been fortunate in having for our sponsor Mr. Glenn Hughes who is an author and play producer of marked ability. Under his guidance we have studied mo(lern literature and modern writers. At one of our meetings Mr. Hughes gave an interesting lecture on Russian Literature, and read some delightful sketches from the renowned Russian author, Turgenieff. We were delighted to have Miss Edens give us her point of view concerning Walt Whitman, James Oppenheim, Louis Unter-meyer, and Alfred Noyes. She read selections from these poets giving a pleasing interpretation of the writings of each. This age is fairly tingling with wonderful poetry, it is brim-ming with life, it is pregnant with wonderfully fresh and new philosophy. We, the Aletheians, are moved by this strong current, and we are trying to conceive this world, and all its bigness, in a new and modern way. Spark Plug Club The students from Everett organized a social club, the first of February, and the name "Spark Plug," the prize slogan ol Ev-erett, was unanimously chosen by the thirty-five menmbers. The colors, blue and gold, were adopted. The officers chosen were: LUCILE HERRETT - - - - - - - - President MARION HOLLINSHEAD - - - - - Vice-President MARION SCHOFIELD - - - - Secrelary-Treasurer MIIss SKALLEY ---- Club Advisor The club hopes to be a permanent organization. The lack of time has not permitted a great number of social activities. The club has shown its energetic spirit by getting pins in the form of a spark plug, rates for spring vacation, giving a party, and going on a hike. RUBY BOBLETTE.

Our greetings to them are just a bit different! This feeling took a tangible shape in the early part of the school year when the Tacoma people at the Normal took up the work of the Tacoma Club of last year. The following officers were chosen as pilots during the first semester: HELEN B. EAGEN - . . . . . President ALICE DAILEY - - - - - - - Vice-President Avis WHISNER ---- Secretary-Treasurer FLORENCE DODGE - - Chairman Program Committee MISSES LEE, DAVIS, MORSE - - - - - Sponsors The club was organized purely for social purposes, and the parties were to be places of refuge where one could be merely "human." To accomplish this, all mental work was barred and at the first meeting the club enjoyed an old-fashioned peanut-stabbing apple-paring contest. Probably the most interesting event took place when the Ta-coma Club joined the Seattle Club in a party given between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The rivalry between the two or-ganizations added spice to the evening and also a feeling of good-will.

The Sourdough Club originated during the summer school of 1915 when, drawn by that mysterious influence which attracts all dwellers of the Northwest to their kind, the students from Alaska banded themselves together in a club to which they gave the name applied to all who have seen the ice come and go, in the Land of the Midnight Sun. All who are eligible to the title "Sourdough" are welcome to membership. At the beginning of the school year of 1916-17 the club was re-organized with the following officers: Mr. Wm. F. Parrish, Faculty Sponsor; Sara Lopp, President; Ruby Johnson, Treasurer. So well did these officials fulfill their duties that they were re-elected by acclamation for the second semester. Early in the year MIr. Parrish, with true Alaskan hospitality- Sourdoughs are famous cooks-entertained the club at his home. As an introduction and initiation, all members were required to tell the time, the place and the circumstances of their experience in the North. Later, a typical sourdough "feed" was given in the Y. W. C. A. room. Reminiscences and canned cow proved almost too much for several present. In the spring when the weather had reached Alaska stand-ards- there one can travel dry shod at least-the club, in mush-ing togs, stampeded to Miss Hayes' cabin on the lake. The tip was passed to several outsiders-"Chechakos"-Miss Hayes, Miss Woodard, Miss McCarthy and Mr. Olson, who joined the rush. No big strike was made, for prospecting was forgotten at sight of the grubstake. Aside from the social activities, the club, in order to meet the growing interest in, and to create an appreciation of the vast country it represents, arranged for a stereopticon lecture to be given in the auditorium for the benefit of the faculty and student body. Through the efforts of Miss Lopp, the services of Mr. An-drews, editor of the Alaska-Yukon Magazine, was secured. The pictures were so realistic that several fair members wept copious-ly during the performance.

The activities of the club are purely social and afford relaxa-tion from the strain of our more arduous duties. 88 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 89 ---------- MIEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE CLUB There have been several enjoyable social affairs during the year. On the evening of November 9, the club gave a "College Jinks" in the Big Gym"-and "jinks" it was! The password was a grin, big and broad. One of the fun-affording games of the evening was a contest to determine whether there were any expert milliners present. Each person was given a large circle of crepe paper, in the club colors, together with a small paper of pins. He was then instructed to make a hat in ten minutes, at expiration of which the grand march was called. Such originality was displayed that the judges found it very difficult in deciding to which couple the prize should be awarded. The last number on the gym program was the supper march, when the partners were found by an unique device, which resulted in huge merriment later in the evening. Passing from the "big gym" to Miss McCown's sewing room, the College Club and its invited guests gathered around a prettily decorated mock banquet table. Instead of the usual banquet fare, the menu consisted of coffee, doughnuts, and apples. A series of amusing talks was given by faculty guests and members under the subject of "An Experience of My College Days." Dr. Nash "took the cake" with his "pie story." The evening closed in true college fashion, with songs and yells by the groups representing different colleges. The next function was the annual "College Club Banquet," held at the Leopold hotel, February twenty-third. The club mnem- ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 90 ---------- bers gathered in the reception room, and at 7:30 p. m. marched to the dining hall. Club colors were in evidence everywhere. Unique features of the banquet were the place and menu cards, the latter being booklets shaped like a tennis racquet. The toasts of the evening were extremely interesting, reflecting college spirit and life, both in title and substance. Before this article goes to press, two other events in the life of the club during this school year will have taken place. Two live committees worked for some time on a program for the first affair, a "hike," on April 20, in order that the "King of Mirth" might hold court. Those who have climbed Chuckanut, or taken some of the other good "hiking trips" about the bay- and what live B. S. N. S. student has not-need no further explanation. The second affair of the last part of the term, taking place May 11, will be a water trip to Reveille Islands, follewed by a beach party-"and the meal-the clams-covered over with sea sand divine." (See Browning). And so our club remains-an oasis in the desert of learning-a cozy corner where "Greek meets Greek," and renews the old time college spirit. "Then here's a hand, my trusty friend, And give a hand of thine, WVe'll give one good old college yell, For your college days, and mine." COLLEGE CLUB BANQUET ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 91 ---------- cAlkisiah Club In the spring of nineteen hundred six, the first society in this school that is still in existence, was formed under the helpful leadership of Miss Baker. To carry out the altruistic ideas of the club, it was called Alkisiah, the significance of which in Chinook is, "In the near future." True to its name, the club has always taken a vital interest in the present and near future. It has helped in a great many ways to prepare its members for their future work, especially in relation to women's clubs, the cultural, and all that is joyful in life. This spring the Alkisiahs were pleased greatly on receiving a hearty welcome into the Washington State Federation of Wo-men's Clubs, an organization that has accomplished wonders along all lines in which women are interested. In order that the Alkisiahs may keep in touch with state work the club plans on sending delegates to the State Federation meeting, June 20, at Spokane, who will report to the club on their return. During the eleven years of the society's existence, it has ac-accomplished a great many things, among which the production of Percy McKay's "Bird Sanctuary," in nineteen hundred fifteen was very important. It was most beautifully staged on the cam-pus knoll, among the fir trees, the home of the birds. Its presen-tation helped to carry out one of the club's ideals of making the Normal campus a home or sanctuary for all birds. An interesting custom each year has been to plant bulbs in the fall, selling them in full bloom, just before the Christmas holidays. This work awakens an interest in bulbs and flowers and is also ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 92 ---------- suitable for all schools. On Arbor day, joining in the work of the other clubs, the Alkisiahs planted a trailing white Wichuriana rose that will creep down over the northern terrace. For seven years the society has had an annual banquet, one of the most enjoyable events of the year, held on the Friday near-est Valentine's day. The large dining room of the Leopold Hotel was the banqueting hall for this year. When the club first met this school year it was found that there were only about twelve members, who had returned to school, so there were twenty-five invitations sent out, which brought the total membership up to thirty-eight. South America was chosen as the subject of study for the first semester and many exceedingly interesting programs were given, including talks on Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil and Argentina The week before the Christmas vacation, the new members proved themselves to be very helpful by assisting Miss Baker as hostess to the club at her home. It was a true Christmas party with a tree and a real Santa Claus and presents for every one, which caused much hearty laughter. For the second semester, it was decided to take up as the special subject a study of some of the operas, including Tann-hauser, Faust, II Trovatore, Lucia de Lammermoor, Parsifal and Carmen. These studies have been very interesting and valuable. During the eleven years of the club's existence many intimate and lasting friendships have been made, and as the years roll on, the deep spirit of fellowship among the members and friends of the Alkisiah Club will remain in all hearts forever.

Those of us who know Bellingham know Lake Whatcom; those of us who know Lake Whatcom know Miss Hays' cabin. At least the H. L. S. girls do. Can you remember those thrilling clear moonlight nights on our beautiful Lake Whatcom? It was such a night, and in October. The moonbeams sparkled and danced about on the broad Whatcom mirror. The evergreens cast weird shadows in the water; the moon laughed through the trees and at us,-and at our faculty friends-\Misses Baxter, Nick-erson, Meade, and Morse. We wanted to become acq(uainted so we gathered around the tables which were placed about the porch of the cabin and enjoyed our delicious spread, our delightful "new" friends, and our beautiful, mystical Lake Whatcom. Our initiation is a stirring event. We shall not mention all that we know about it; we cannot speak of the nose races, aerial flights, and blood-curdling scenes of terrible warfare and living torture. Let us bury the past. We have had as many, and more, constructive events as we have had destructive. Our old English Christmas program which was given on the evening of December 21, our annual ban- quet, and our pleasant evenings with George Bernard Shaw, we shall never forget. We have added another link to the chain of years that encircle the friends and members of Hays Literary So-ciety.

This funda-mental purpose of the society is brought into play by practice in parliamentary law, extemporan-eous speaking, debate, and num-erous gatherings. Outside speak-ers have occasionally addressed the club upon topics of general interest to the coming rural teachers. The organization of the club differs somewhat in character from similar societies in the Nor-mal school in that it has one hundred active members and is divided into three divisions for sectional work. The first hour of the evening is spent in the sep-arate meetings of the sections, each having a club sponsor for drill in parliamentary law and debate. Each has a well organ-ized mock legislature. A chair-man and secretary are elected for each meeting, none serving twice. The sectional programs are plan-ned by a program committee, one member being selected from each section. The officers for the general meetings are chosen each quarter without the privilege of holding office more than once. The club feels itself especially favored in having for its spons-ors, three members of the faculty who are deeply interested in A FEW OF THE FARMERS rural work-Miss Keeler, Mr. Bond, and Mr. Hulse. Election time was the occasion of a political party program in U tJ r 0rD I| ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 97 ---------- which the various presidential candidates were cleverly imperson-ated by several club members. Mr. Dan Johnston represented Mr. Hughes in a manner which would have reflected credit upon the original himself. The other political candidates were Mr. Daven-port, representing Woodrow Wilson, who was perfect except for the hair; Mr. Parkins, representing the Prohibition candidate, Han-ley; and Mr. Hawkins, representing the Socialist candidate. A straw vote was taken, resulting in an overwhelming majority for Wilson with 46 votes, Hughes 13, Benson 13, and Hanley 3. A regular old fashioned Hallowe'en party, with witches and ghosts, was given late in October. A splendid program and games took up the evening, not to overlook the "Rural Life Special" or Virginia reel, which in its turn made the evening one never to be forgotten. Mr. Bond, one of our sagacious sponsors, got himself into no end of trouble when he recklessly and fearlessly drove his new wheelbarrow to his home from the business center of town leaving a wake of disaster in his trail. Deeming such behavior as unbe-coming to a Rural Life Club sponsor, Mr. Bond was hailed before Judge Weslie Inman to account for his strange actions. The de-fense was upheld in a most able manner by Mr. Johnston and counsel, Mr. Andrews, while Mr. Elder and his assisting attorney, Mr. Beery, conducted the prosecution in a fearless and forceful manner. There was much heated discussion in the courtroom when the evidence was all in as to the outcome of the case. The jury, after considerable deliberation over the evidence, rendered a verdict of guilty and Mr. Bond was brought before Judge Inman for sentence. The judge, considering the past services of the de-fendant, was inclined to be lenient and sentenced Mr. Bond to a period of hard labor at the Bellingham Normal. Just before returning to our homes for the holidays "The Birds' Christmas Carol" was given with a high degree of success, which confirmed the report that at least some members of the Rural Life Club missed their calling when they forsook the foot-lights for the prosaic task of teaching school. Miss Mildred Her-mans as Mrs. Ruggles, and Miss Winnie Jordan as Sarah Jane were stars of real quality. Mr. Rindall, our school carpenter, gave a very pleasant even-ing's entertainment early in the winter with an illustrated lecture on his old home, Norway. The subjects of industrial education in rural schools and "Boys' and Girls' Clubs," which go hand in hand in the rural com-munities is of much interest to those who expect to become active leaders in rural localities. Upon these topics a very profitable evening was spent with Miss Ethel Everett, county superintendent, and Prof. R. C. Tibbles of Ferndale, who discussed these subjects in a highly profitable and interesting manner. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 98 ---------- 4 A i r~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 99 ---------- The first Rural Life Conference, planned and conducted by Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse was held at the school, March 12 and 13 and gave the club an opportunity to meet Mr. Newbill, Mr. Thornber and other experts in the line of rural community work and industrial education. It also gave us an opportunity to make ourselves useful as well as ornamental (luring the progress of the conference. The pleasant times that we have enjoyed through the club's activities are occasions which will long be remembered. The Rural Life Club is indeed fulfilling its mission through the energy and life of its members and the sincere efforts of its officers and fac-ulty sponsors to make the organization a success. e Normal High School The B. S. N. High has this past year attained a degree of su-premacy of which even we, in our wildest hopes, dared not dream. It has been filled to overflowing with school activities. There has been the Student Association meeting once a week and well at-tended; the debate team, coached by Gerald Van Horn; the Boys' and Girls' basketball teams, most creditable teams, both of them; and too, organizations of each class. The Senior plays in April were a great success, thanks to the coaches, King and Foster, and came as a crowning event, followed by the H. S. picnic in May. This year our classes were divided for a social purpose. Every Friday one division of each class was responsible for some form of entertainment. Our class frolics were usually held in the large gymnasium. Under the capable direction of Miss Nickerson, we enjoyed some rousing good games, and many folk dances. All successful class stunts had a grand finale. The finale was surely a spread which was generally served in the lunch room of the Department of Home Economics. On one occasion the dining room was transformed into a delightful forest. Fairy-like figures floated in and out among the trees, and soft music filled the air about us. Delicious refreshments were served to us here by six of the tiny fairies. We came to the fairy garden and were re-freshed. The enrollment which early in the year barely reached a hun-dred, now soars to a hundred and sixty-two; and the first and last class of the Normal Accredited High School graduates with seventeen in its ranks.

If we were very unselfish we might feel very sorry, but we can't help feeling a bit glad that, since we can't be here ourselves, no one else can be here either. After all, that's only human nature. The High School has been very fortunate in its faculty ad- visors. Of course there has been Mr. Parish as principal; without him we cannot imagine our school the success it's been; and then Mrs. Kuykendall, a jolly companion at banquets and good times. Miss Norton has helped us out too. What would we have (lone without her good, sound advice? Mr. Parish's English class can best appreciate his influence and presence. There has been work, lots of it, but always ready for a good joke and a right jolly laugh. So, when next year and years after we are scattered through this "vale of tears (?)" we shall remember him, remember his teachings of unselfishness, goodness and truthfulness and in them find recompense for all the "outlines" we have ever had to write in the English VII class.

It seeks the best physical development of the men, through the many athletic activities; it seeks the establishment of Christian conduct in the practical affairs of life, through addresses given by the city's men of success, from time to time. A genuine mixer, to which all men of the school were invited, given at the beginning of the year, proved to be the cornerstone of the association's good work. The large gymnasium was crowded, with men, formerly strangers but soon the closest brothers. It was not unusual to see a man on the floor, shooting a basket with one hand, and shaking hands with an opponent with the other. Next came the joint social of the two organizations, engaged in the same work. With the beginning of the second semester another mixer was held, in the large gymnasium. Many new members were added. The games, the dinner, the speeches, produced on that occasion will ever be a sunny memory to those having the privilege to be present. As the last days of school were drawing near, a beach party was held, which proved a thoroughly enjoyable affair. The lecture course of the year, exceptionally brilliant and comprehensive, was well arranged and well attended. The first lecture was given by Rev. Askey, who spoke on the best means for a youth to spend his assets of mind, body and soul. Dr. Morrison gave some excellent maxims on clear thinking. Dan North, with judicial precision and expert knowledge, spoke on "Fair Play and Athletics," which influenced all very greatly. Virgil Peringer pre-sented in a convincing way some of the essentials of a successful career. Mr. Olson defined "Religion," as something far from big-otry and narrowness, but of infinite breadth and scope, capable of marvelous results in the lives of men. At a joint session of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., Dr. Hall showed how intensely practical, modern and enjoyable missionary work is, when conducted with up-to-date methods. Some of the most interesting and beneficial talks have been given by members of the faculty: "The Life of Booker T. Washington," by Dr. Nash; "The Square Deal," by Mr. Hoppe; "Deliver the Goods," by Mr. Hughes, aand the "Homely Philosophy of Walt Mason," by Mr. Parish. From every standpoint the year's work has been a success. It is only hoped that the association will increase in strength that it may the better carry on its good work of leading the young men into a richer, better life of service. lO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 104 ---------- r ,:.. % ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 105 ---------- Young Women's Christian Association "Wait on the Lord" Even before the opening of school in September, the Y. W. C. A. organization was showing its ever present enthusiastic spirit. Trains were met, and girls were conducted to their rooms where generous bouquets of flowers awaited them. At school, willing helpers directed students to their classes. The work of the association has been going splendidly all year. Our first devotional meeting was held Sunday afternoon, September 10. Miss Hamblin, of New York, gave us a very in-spiring message. A very delightful reception was held soon after the opening of school in the society hall, which was very artistically decorated with autumn foliage. During the month of October we were fortunate in having with us such speakers as Dr. French Oliver, the evangelist, with his co-workers, Mrs. Russell and Miss MacLaren; also Miss Jane Neill Scott, of New York, Executive Secretary of the Northwest Field Committee. During the week, November 12th to 18th, in accord with a national plan, our association observed its "World's Week of Fellowship." The first meeting was held on Sunday afternoon in joint session with the City Association at the Y. W. C. A. build-ing, and our Cabinet served Fellowship Tea after the meeting. Following a week of prayerful devotion, the last meeting was one of unusual interest. Miss Rose Baxter led the meeting and Miss Hayes, former Dean of Women, brought to us a very interesting and profitable discourse on the "Warring Nations," after which Mrs. Jane Bellis-Colby favored us with a solo. On Saturday af-ternoon a Fellowship "Chocolate" was held in the association room. The largest affair of the year is always the annual banquet and is looked forward to with enthusiastic anticipation. This banquet marked the close of the campaign for members and was in charge of the Membership Committee, with the assistance of the Social Committee. It was held November 18th at the Leo-pold Hotel and was attended by 176 members and guests, among whom were several faculty members, the Advisory Committee, Dr. and Mrs. G. W. Nash, Mrs. Wood, Miss Mary Hillis and Miss a YOtl ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 106 ---------- i;~~~ ~~~~ lt~1 -;L $b L1C 41 J's z z c P4P Cd I C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 107 ---------- Edythe DeLong, of Everett, who was toastmistress.

Throughout the month of January we had exceptionally good meetings. Rev. Reagor, of the local Christian church, spoke on the duties of missionaries. Miss Eleanor P. Hopkins, General Student Secretary of the Northwest Field Committee, was here for a week, which gave the girls a chance for talks and conferences. Miss Hopkins spoke at the Thursday meeting on "Prayer." Friday, January 29, the old and new members met in the "Big Gym" for a "Get Acquainted Party." The afternoon was spent informally and ended in a grand march which led to the cafeteria where refreshments were served. We enjoyed having with us again this year for our Bible In-stitute, Mrs George Saltau of Tacoma, and Mrs. Campbell, of Se-attle. They brought us such inspiring and soul-satisfying mes-sages that it was with regret we bade them goodbye and God-speed. One of the very interesting messages of the year was brought to us from Mr. Host, who for years has been one of the fore-most leaders in the China Inland Mission. At one of our last meetings the Missionary Committee, with the help of some of the other association girls, and some high school girls, presented a play, "Tired of Missions." The play was preceded by a reading, "The Master's Voice," by Mrs. Simpson, a member of the Advisory Committee. We have a student Volunteer Band, which has been having very interesting meetings. There are a dozen Mission Study and Bible Study Classes, with a very good attendance, organized at the various rooming houses, the Dormitory and the Y. W. C. A. Building. To the fac-ulty members who made some of these classes possible we extend heartfelt thanks. Our cafeteria has been successful in capably caring for about 180 students each day, and during the Rural Conference the regu- O II a n C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 108 ---------- ~I~j - 0 S00 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 109 ---------- lar customers gladly gave their places to the visiting teachers, principals and superintendents. Every cabinet member and most of the members of the as-sociation have felt that their time and money have been well spent in the good things they have received. The Sunrise Easter Meeting at Initial Rock on Sehome was well attended as usual and several of the girls who have been here, part the full year and part for two years, spoke. As the Klipsun goes to press we are looking forward to a Social Frolic of some sort in conjunction with the Y. M. boys of the Normal School. Also, with great joy, we are anticipating a trip to Cypress Island while the rhododendrons are in bloom. Following are the Cabinet Officers: 1916-17 1917-18 CASSIE C. CALES President - - CASSIIE C.

They hap-pen to live in one of the happiest homes on the corner of Maple and Forest streets. Perhaps you do not know all who live there and the good times they have, so prepare yourself to hear the thrilling tales they tell. Laura Stubblefield is on the third floor, nicknamed "Our fu-ture Miss Norton." Her specialty is Parliamentary drill. It is 0 ILIt0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 110 ---------- Asn ~Bi-- Y. W. C. A. GIRLS whispered that after carefully reading Roberts' Rules of Order, she started a new book of rules for the convenience of all societies that wish to be conducted on a modern system. Until recently, Mary Hayward lived with Miss Stubblefield. At the end of the third quarter Mary left for Walla Walla, not to engage in modern Pavlowa acts, but to take upon herself the seri-ous duties of teacher. Just across the hall is Mary Chapin, a clever, capable lady, envied by the entire house, not for her competency, but because she receives flowers and candy and invitations from-but we all know. Elsie Gough (or Goo or Guff) is noted for her interest in a certain Iky, and because she specializes in cocoa baths, given by Sara Lopp. Only recently Miss Gough (or Goo or Guff) has de-cided to wear a bathing suit at all spreads. Did you hear Glad Hamely say, "Oh dear!" If you had been over at Lummi Island camping during the spring vacation you would surely have heard that familiar phrase as Glad Hamely and Glad White (second name Hershey) fried flapjacks for a crowd who simply would not stop eating. "Oh dear!" was the same cry made, when on the return trip the boat did somersaults on the grey sea. Marion Scofield and Ruby Boblette are Everett girls, well liked by all. Also they seem to know several Everett people, judging from certain observations made while the Everett basketball teams were here. 110 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 111 ---------- And while we are speaking of Everett girls, do not forget Letha and Mabel Painter. These studious, original girls have devised a new way of boiling eggs, according to rumor. Has a patent been applied for? Pauline Shuler is that girl who can say "Hagamos Confetos," and with the needed assistance of her wife, Alberta Worthington, gives us such good things to eat, in the sitting rOO1. Cornelia Hooper and Elizabeth Palmner are comely maids good to look upon. They often say how grateful they are for the sound-proof walls of the house, for just below them live Una Robinson and Ruth Morrison. Una is a young woman with many talents, as you may know, but her favorite avocation is sing-ing, accomipanied by Miss Morrison. Truly, life is one long song with our future Melha and Tina Lerner. You all know and admire Sara Lopp and her room-mate, Ruth Pan-chot, or Pan-shot, as is preferredl by the faculty. Sara has figured inim-ortantly in making a Welsh rarebit, referred to as a mustard plaster. Ruth is known for her ability in opening cans of lobster, rescued from the missionary barrel by one Miss White. Cassie Cales left our happy home the sec-ond semester, due no doubt to the fact that the cruel house girls locked Miss Morse and herself in Cassie's room one evening, and then peeped in at them over the transom. Miss Cales was finally forced, much to her regret, to call Miss Morse to her assistance, and with the aid of a tin cup, cold water and consider-able skill in tossing, dampen the spirits of the wretches in the hall. Oh, pardon, that was only the Junior class secretary caroling with a Thatcher trained voice, "Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking," Oh, yes, often in the chilly night, after her many social duties are o'er, you can hear her singing thus. Just a mere diversion, yes. ii YOr ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 112 ---------- If you have tears, prepare to shed them now, for here comes our second floor monitor, choral club singer, H. L. S. member and Klipsun cartoonist. No, she was not always lame. She has the Charley Horse at present. Then there is Helen Peterson, well known for her great liking for cream pie. During the third quarter Helen was missed, but a competent detective found her leaning against the door of Miss Drake's office. Gertrude Smith, Marjory Weeks, Alice Drew, Frances Nagel and Lillian White are new additions to our family. They like the Missouri Waltz and object to fried eggs. Surely that is enough to recommend them for membership in the sisterhood.

Then you'll have the biggest organization of its kind ever seen at W. S. N. S.-the Choral Club of 1916-17! When the first call for volunteers was made by Mrs. Thatcher early in the autumn she found herself besieged by enthusiastic songsters. Work began at once and a few weeks proved suffi-cient to disclose an unusual number of fine voices. That the club might enjoy these to the full, short bi-weekly programs were in-stituted as a part of the regular meetings. Solo and duet numbers vocal and piano, added to the interest and enjoyment. 1:2 El - Secretary-Treasurer ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 116 ---------- HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL CLUB One Wednesday afternoon in October, Mrs. Thatcher invited the girls to "tea" in the music room and over the cups everybody became acquainted. Even before this event Mrs. Thatcher had won the admiration and affection of her group of feminity but such a jollification absolutely clinched it. A number of Choral Club stars appeared at assembly "singly or in groups" during the first semester, but March 9 marked the date of the first appearance of the club as a whole. On the evening of that date the annual concert-the club's gala event-was given. The numbers composing the program this year were: Chorus-(a) "Estudia (b) "Come Y Solo-"The Spring Has Co Edil Quartet-"The Spinni Misses Ireland, A Piano Solo-"Staccato S Solo--(a) "Ein Schwa (b) "Mit Einem H Chorus-"The Dusk V inlia .- - -I e Fairies" - - - Lynes Choral Club me" - - - White th Hendrickson ng Wheel" - - - Barbour rchambeau, DeWitte, Fraser Caprice" - - - - Vogrich tella Johnson n". - Grieg Veilchen" - - - - Grieg [azel Dashley Vitch" - - - - Ambrose Choral Club =:=-_ nt ,, , _ _ _ .nro ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 117 ---------- Violin Solo-Concerto No. 7 (1st movement) - De Beriot Virginia Mathes Quintet-"Wynken, Blynken and Nod" - - Nevin Mrs. Merriman, Mrs. Vermuelen, Misses Buchanan, Dashley, Borkman (Misses Johnson and Condit at the Piano) Solo--"Lavender - - - - - - - - German Margaret Bressler Chorus-'Twas April - -- - -- Nevin Choral Club Duet-"Barcarolle (From Tales of Hoffman) Offenbach Louise Buchanan and Louise Fraser Solo-"Autumn and Spring" - - - - Weil Mrs. Marian Merriman (Violin Obligato, Virginia Mathes) Chorus-(a) "In Fair Seville" - - - Elliott (b) "At Twilight" - - - - Friml Choral Club Accompanists Stella Johnson, Faith Condit, Ruth Elander Director: Florence F.

To celebrate the year's success, the girls scheduled a banquet at the Hotel Leopold in April. Has there been a "fly in the ointment" for the 1916-17 club? None at all. Of course a sudden mention of "Seville" may cause any one of the seventy-seven to shiver slightly, but the club has been immensely pleased with its year together and intensely proud of its director.

Close by the brook the bending willows stood And bent their heads to hear its melody; I listened, too, a moment-and ran on To where the wild flowers smiled and beckoned me. I played with them; of some I made a wreath And wore it for a crown-for I was queen Of all this fairyland, and all was mine, The gay, green fields, the brook that flowed between. And then I came into a forest dark, (It was the forest which is Youth) and there Long shadows lie and temple stillness reigns Beneath the columned vistas everywhere. 'Twas in that mystic wood I first met Life And learned its meaning and its deep command. It sank into my soul-I know not how, I could but feel-I could not understand; And suddenly I heard a strange, sweet song Sung by some unseen bird high overhead. Love sang its pain and joy into my heart, And peace from thence for evermore had fled. I found myself at last on a great plain, 'Where fields of ripened grain stretched far and wide ('Twas in the kingdom of Prosaic Life Wlhere men and women toil on every side) And someone gave to me a gleaming scythe And said, "Go thou to work and thou shalt find A place among us;" ..1 took up my task, And still endure the never-ceasing grind. But often when the weary day is done And in the west the sun is sinking low, Before me looms a ridge of lofty hills Illumined by the sunset's purple glow; And I shall reach the summit of those hills Some day and see the future's wonderland, And, looking downward from that height, shall see Life's valley lie revealed,-and understand. ESTHER SHEPHERD. NOT ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 122 ---------- FIRST PRIZE STORY c.A Dandy Time There was an exciting thrill in the air, rendered the more in-tense by the air of secrecy which accompanied it. The members of the seventh grade class felt it, and looked at each other from behind their books with widened eyes and compressed lips as if they were afraid their secret would escape. And its escape seemed imminent, for each individual appeared ready to burst with the importance of his knowledge. The usual silent buzz of industri-ous study was given over to the luxury of suppressed giggles and hastily scribbled notes, and even Miss Gray's sharp request for order brought only a compromise in a change of expression. Two people would look up, catch each other's eye, glance significantly at the back of the only member of the class not in the secret, and exchange solemn winks. Meanwhile, the object of all the mystery, a charming young lady of twelve, sat with graceful head bent raptly over her history lesson. All the disturbance was apparently lost on her. She was serenely unconscious of the meaning glances and mysterious winks, the whispering knots of girls at recess time and the sudden silences when she appeared. For the great secret was that acme of childish experience-a surprise party-and any disposition on the part of the guest of honor to suspect it would be the rankest violation of an unwritten law. Nor was this to be a common surprise party. Quite to the contrary, it far out-ranked and out-shone any heretofore in the history of the Milford seventh grade class. For one thing, it was an evening party. For these young people, now almost in their 'teens, had quite passed the stage of children's parties, where they must perforce be watched over by their elders and sent scamper-ing home before it grew dark. Those days were indeed over; they felt-and rightly-that this evening marked the beginning of Their Day. Not the least happy and excited of that joyous number was Minnie Graham, the newest member of the class. To her it held a significance it did not have for the other children, to whom such things had always been a part of their lives-it was her first party. Indeed, in her fourteen and a half years, she had mingled very little with children of her age. She had neither brother nor sis-ters, and having always lived with her widowed mother (whom 0YO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 123 ---------- she loved-oh how she loved that mother!)) her memory of child-ish playmates was slight. True, she had gone to school, but always in a city where going to school with children does not always mean mingling in their social affairs. Nor could this state of affairs be justly laid at the door of her mother-poor, hard- working Mrs. Graham. She had done what she could for her small and adoring daughter, but somehow there had never been even the slightest left-over by which Minnie might join one of the small girl clubs, or attend their weekly matinee parties. And thus it was that Minnie faced with high anticipation and fast- heating heart, the evening of her first party. She was standing in the small close bedroom, before the dim-ily- covered stand which served as a dressing table, and striving with much twisting and turning to get a full view in the cracked mirror which hung above it, while the mother with patient work-worn fingers lovingly settled the folds in the somewhat faded blue hair-ribbons and smoothed the starched white dress. The old cracked mirror gave back the vision of a happy young face, with a tender curl or two above it (a large nail heated above the lamp had accomplished this miracle) and Minnie decided that, in spite of the thin brown face and too large eyes, she looked quite beauti-ful enough, even for this magnificent affair. In fancy, she saw herself at the party, moving fairy-like and gracious among the others, followed by all eyes, much sought after as a partner, by all the boys, and greatly envied by the other girls. Enchanted by this picture and by the vision in the mirror to which perhaps her great desire had lent a charm not there, she turned to her mother, eyes shining and cheeks slightly flushed. "Thank you, mother," in a happy half-shy young voice, "Do I look-all right?" In silent answer, for her voice was choked, the mother put her arms about the white-clad figure and kissed the glowing face. In the warm autumn twilight Minnie hurried along the village street and joined the laughing, chattering group on the drug store corner. They had decided to meet here and go in a compact body to the house of Natalie Wayne, whose mother was giving the party. So interested were they in their brilliant play of wit and good-natured teasing, that no one noticed the silent bashful figure which joined them and stood wistfully watching and listening to others. Not for long, however, for presently, after much jostling dispute as to who should lead, they fell into single file and stole Indian-wise up the street. Minnie, thoroughly in the spirit of the party, felt indeed one of them as they quietly filed up the narrow board 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 124 ---------- sidewalk, their hushed silence only broken by an occasional hushed whisper or burst of giggles. Now they stood in front of the house, and after a whispered conference among the leaders, the group turned in at the gate and crept in a crouching attitude across the lawn. As soon as all the members were huddled together on the porch, one of the boys who had previously claimed the privilege and who had been standing guard over his rights, rang the door-bell, long and vigorously. The door was opened by Natalie herself, very lovely in some-thing pink and shimmery, and who was sufficiently surprised to satisfy even the most exacting. In the dressing-room, whence the girls had gone to take off their wraps, Minnie gazed in wide-eyed appreciation at the wonder of soft and delicately-tinted dresses, flowing sashes, and dainty slippers. She watched them and marveled, but it never occurred to her to envy until she caught a glimpse of herself in a long mir-ror at the other end of the room, her stiffly starched white dress contrasting pitifully with the sheer exquisite blue of the girl beside her. Silently she followed others down the velvet-carpeted stair-way, and into the living room, where the boys were already seated stiffly on one side of the room, looking very conscious in the glory of their best suits and hair smoothly plastered down. The girls arrayed themselves on the other side, just as conscious, but exceedingly more graceful. Minnie contrived to get a seat behind the table, that no one might notice her school shoes, worn shabby through service. Her cheeks were no longer flushed, and the light was gone from her eyes, which now wore a strained expression and emphasized mer-cilessly the pallor of the lean brown cheeks. Heretofore she had taken no part in the gaiety; now there flashed before her mind a picture of what she had dreamed she would be-a fairy princess in a fairy land. And with this vision, she saw herself as she was- alone, unnoticed, and miserable. With this realization, she made a last desperate effort to throw herself into the easy sociability of the others, listening as if very much amused and interested, to the light and frivolous sallies, and laughing louder than anybody else at the clumsy attempts at humor. Soon, as the tension grew less, and both girls and boys felt the irresistible desire for action, someone started a game of "show." Now "show" necessitates the station of one couple in some excluded spot-preferably the top step of a long winding ii~o nYO ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 125 ---------- staircase, and to this point the others go, also in pairs, until some other couple is declared to be the "show." The children paired off and went out, a couple at a time, mak-ing a constant stream of the going and the coming. Their happy voices and gay laughter rang thru the room and the halls, but no one came to get Minnie. She sat conspicuously alone now, fol-lowing hungrily with her eyes the movements of the merry-mak-ers. Pride kept her head up, and an amused smile on her mouth. Only when she felt herself quite unnoticed did her mouth droop, and then only for a moment, for upon the return of the animated crowd, she would assume the old expression of amused cheerful-ness. Once or twice she noticed some of the girls and boys look at her and speak to each other in low undertones. She saw Natalie, a reigning goddess among her worshipers, speak to some of the boys. They hung back a little, and then being seized with a bright idea, called Natalie's younger brother, a mischievous lad of nine. He came obedient, and listened to what the boys told him, turning meanwhile squarely around to look at Minnie. Whatever the proposal was, he evidently agreed, for he came goodnaturedly across the room and planted himself before the table behind which sat Minnie. Then, in a clear, ringing voice, which caused everyone in the room to stop and look around, and which Minnie was certain could easily have been heard around the block, he said, "May I see you to the show?" Minnie longed desperately for the power to spring up grace- fully and give the child her hand merrily, but the curious eyes of all that multitude were upon her, and she knew that she could not. Flushing painfully, she heard herself saying in a stiff little voice, "No, thank you, I don't care to go." In the hush which followed, she heard a stifled snicker across the room, and she realized that she was indeed lost now. How she got through that evening she never knew. It seemed ages that she sat there, utterly apart, numb with disillusionment, but still fixedly smiling. Refreshments came, and she ate her ice cream mechanically, without tasting it. She went upstairs when the others did, for her wraps, and she slipped out the big front door alone, into the cool night, just as the children's voices rose on the chorus of "Good-night Ladies." The streets were dark and deserted, as she walked quickly homeward. A dry sob rose in her throat but she choked it down, fiercely. She dared not cry, lest the quick eyes of her mother should discover the traces of tears upon her cheek. With fingers pressed tightly against her palms, her head thrown back, and II __ Ui Y t] ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 126 ---------- breath coming in long quivering inspirations, she hurried on. At the door of her home she paused to gain control of her-self, and when her breathing became more calm and natural and she felt that she could speak to her mother cheerfully, if need be, she went in. In the bed room her mother lay asleep. Without lighting the lamp on the stand Minnie started to untie her ribbons and unbutton her dress in the dark, lest the mother should waken. She had forgotten her own sorrow and disal)lointment in the great fear that this best-loved, too, should he hurt. But her precautions were useless, for the figure in the bed stirred and lifted a little. "Is it you, Minnie? Come here dear." She reached a hand out groping in the dark. "Did mother's little girl have a good time?" As Minnie felt tl upon her own young compensation.

They moved slowly at first around the ring, But gradually the dance went faster Un til At length I could see only a circle of light, Swaying up and then down, Now higher on this side, Now on that, Faster and faster and still faster. Suddenly The circle of light broke into fragments, And the spirits vanished As so many sparks of fire. But one of them came back; I know-for he brushed close beside me and kissed my cheek as he went by. The fairies were playing peek-a-boo Down in the meadow. I could see how each one was trying to hide And then surprise the others. One instant they would disappear And at the next- Would be up again. I could see the flash of lights-the little lights that they wore in their fairy crowns. LO.~ C0 I; ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 128 ---------- Just then I heard tiny voices very near, And I looked down; And there- All over the hillside--- At my very feet I saw thousands of little creatures- Queer, dark shapes they were-like little men- And it was they who were speaking: "We are the sunbeam carriers," they said, "We catch the sunbeams and carry them to the roots of the flow-ers. All day long we toil; We run as fast as we can On our trips between the upper world where the sunbeams are And the homes of the flower roots. We get warm and tired from our labor thru the day; At night we come out to rest And let the night breezes cool our hair." I know that they told the truth For I felt their warm breath. The heat of their bodies radiated upward and made all the air warm. "How might it be that you saw such strange things?" you will ask, "Things that we have never before seen nor heard of-" I cannot answer that- I do not know- All I can say is: It was a summer night. ESTHER SHEPHERD. L----- ' ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 129 ---------- SECOND PRIZE STORY cAunt Sarah's Trip "There," said Sally Winens with bitter resignation, as Tommy, the smiling Philippine deck steward bowed himself away. "There goes Aunt Sarah's winter hat, with that tip, the collection for disabled seamen will take her Christmas magazine, and I sup-pose Tommy will get my spats." Sally turned wearily in her nmummy-like wrappings and found herself looking squarely into the eyes of the man in the next chair. He was an inconspicuous young fellow, with a fine dark face, and he huddled within innumerable rugs, as if the steady little Pacific breeze, so relentlessly whipping his eyes and flicking his hair, was a blast from the Pole. "My cell-mate" she had desig-nated him, the second day out, in impatient realization of their isolation in a recess of the deck, and the shadow of a big red funnel. His name, Bill Woodruff, scribbled on a card on his deck chair, was familiar to her, as the discriminating mark on their respective cells, but Bill Woodruff himself had seemed to deject-edly alone-so oblivious to the gay promenaders-she had found it dispiriting to watch him. "He's the only other person on this ship as forlorn as I," she reflected. "Mercy! He might be in for life." Now, as she met his questioning smile, something singularly sympathetic in the deeply set blue eyes, encouraged her to speak. "I suppose you think me demented, soliloquizing like this," she hazarded recklessly. "It sounds surprising and interesting," said he, his smile per-sisting. "Is Tommy taking old clothes for tips this trip? And why spats and Aunt Sarah's hat? If he wears 'em, he'll be quite the most spectacular thing on this ship, and some of those girls are going to resent that." He nodded toward some laughing damsels, lurching arm in arm down the deck, their skirts alarm-ingly short and their sweaters and caps smears of primary color against the white paint. In spite of a spasmodic effort for dignity, Sally giggled help-lessly, and as her companion joined with a grin that showed his white teeth, she thought quickly, "He's English-and really young -I wonder why I didn't notice, at first." Mr. Woodruff's eyes rested appreciatively on her soft young face-the cheeks flushed by the sharp sea breeze, and the black-lashed eyes guilelessly appealing in their embarrassment. "Good Lord," he marveled, "she's as refreshing as sunrise in the coun- 1 C ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 130 ---------- try. So they really do send them out alone like this in the States." "My gibbering is the result of solitary confinement," she confided gayly. "I've been so hoarse from not speaking to a soul except the stewards, that I occasionally try my voice. The fact is-hesi-tating- this trip must take the place with me of food, shelter, and raiment for years to come. You overheard an itemized account of vanishing luxuries. You see," with an adorable smile, "I'm a plain business woman." Then, as even to this neutral young man, Sally longed to appear sophisticated, "Now you'll think I am crazy, telling you all that," she ended in chagrin. Her companion pulled his chair closer to hers. "On the con-trary," he answered, "there's something intensely practical about the sound of it. I wish you'd tell me more. Sitting here hour after hour, when I'm not looking at the sea or throwing bread to the silly gulls, I can't help noticing you are rather alone." "And in-credibly young," he added to himself. "You're putting it delicately," said Sally, with a sniff. "You know perfectly well that not a passenger on this ship has spoken to me, or flickered an eyelash in my direction. You must know that when they all walk past I sit here with a glassy, unconscious expression, until my face is as stiff as a mask. Oh! it's all so dis-appointing, when I think of poor Aunt Sarah!" To her mortifica-tion her voice grew husky; worse still her attempt to wink back two big tears that welled to her brown eyes was unsuccessful, and her frenzied search in her plethoric sweater pockets, failed to pro-duce a handkerchief. "Take mine," said her listener, thrusting out a fold of snowy linen and considerately turning his eyes away. He rose now, and, Sally dabbing at the tears, thought that in the parlance of Dodgeville, "He looked awfully nice." Indeed she was surprised that she had ever thought him insignificant, he seemed so inde-finably lithe and graceful as he leaned against the red funnel. "If you don't mind my maunderings," he was saying, in the crisp English that delighted her provincial ears, "perhaps I can give you some good advice. My brain is clogged with a lot I haven't been able to use. Of course it was given to be, but it has positively no sentiment attached and I'll part with it cheerfully to a suitable victim. Now then-state the case of Aunt Sarah, her hat and the disappointment. Will she take it to heart be-cause those young rainbows haven't warmed up to a flapper like you?" "I suppose it did sound too 'phantasamnagoria'" laughed Sally quite herself again, "I ought to explain that in the first place I'm not so awfully young." She hesitated-then with a flash of courage-"In the next place, I'm a poor school teacher." "No," exclaimed the man, "Extraordinary." Words seemed ~o CnV 0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 131 ---------- to fail him and he murmered "absolutely extraordinary," again. "Well?" he was forced to inquire, as Sally, confused by the admiration in his laughing eyes, busied herself with a refractory curl. "Let's have the gist of the story, as it were." "It's hard to tell" she submitted seriously, "for I don't think you ever saw a place like Dodgeville. That's where I teach, and live with my aunt." "Enter Aunt Sarah," interpolated MIr. Woodruff. "You mustn't laugh at Aunt Sarah, even in fun," she flashed. "She is wonderful. I wish I could make you see her so you'd re-alize she never could be ridiculous. She is a dainty, faded little old woman, but so sweet, so strong, so self sacrificing. We lead a pinched, monotonous life but Aunt Sarah's always had one big interest-she has wanted me to go abroad some day. First it was the dream of her life to go herself. Once she was all ready, and grandmother was taken ill, and next it was grandfather. Finally I was left a miserable little orphan-to take her time and money. She started then planning for me-simply giving the whole thing up for herself. She has read and studied and absorl)ed Europe until it must be--must be-" "Engraved on her heart like France on Mary whatyoucallem's" supplemented her listener. Sally nodded and continued with recovered breath. "They ask her to give talks to the Sunday School and Book Club, on "Roman Ruins" or "Walks in Paris," and she knows so much more than some people who've been there ever want to know! It is pitiful. The story was coming with a rush now, and the man's eyes were fixed intently on the drifting spirals of smoke where sky line melted into sea on the distant horizon. "The war didn't put a stop to her plans for then she was all for Honolulu and Japan. Poor Auntie has scrimped and scrimpl)el, and so have I. We have lived like two genteel spinster spartans," explosively. We've pretended for years that we didn't like an egg for breakfast, or picture shows, or ice cream, or car rides. Aunt Sarah thinks it's ladylike to pretend you don't want a thing you can't have." "That's not so futile," said her companion. "It is one way of keeping your troubles to yourself. Aunt Sarah is rilping! She's a 'good old sport,' as the men say over here." "Horrors! If she could hear you," said Sally, "she would snatch me out of your vi-cinity in a jiffy." He laughed. "You're going to tell me how she pulled off this trip aren't you?" for Sally had relapsed into silence. "I was thinking of the day she gave me the money," she said slowly. "She seemed so frail and tremulous, and the look on her face made me choke up in the midst of my rapture-it was so- 131 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 132 ---------- exalted. The money was some she had borrowed, and some saved by not having the house painted, and in hundreds of pathetic little ways. She even decided to wear a six-year-old dress a little longer, 'freshened up with a nice white collar,' as she said. For two months she studied itineraries and fluttered over preparations like a little grey bird at nest building. There was a letter from the minister's missionary cousin, with a list of hotels he had visited fifteen years ago, and a visit from the minister himself, touching delicately on the deplorable interest in the Hula dance, shown by tourists. I was deluged with remedies for sea-sickness, cretonne soap cases, and copies of the 'Lady of the Decoration,' and I re-ceived a beribboned wire frame a little like a parrot cage but more like a lamp shade, which proved to be a thing to keep my hat on in the stateroom." "I'll make a note of that, as an addition to a comfort kit," laughed the Englishman. "I can assure you it's indispensable," she dimpled. "Well, Aunt Sarah was pleased with everything. She said the best part of the whole trip would be on ship-board; meeting interesting people, making friends, playing shuffleboard with jolly crowds, promenading the deck and singing on moonlight nights. Some-times when we talked of it, sitting in the dusk before the fire, she would reach out for my hand and we would sit and dream like children over a fairy tale. The last moment of all, she slipped some envelopes into my bag. 'Just one for each day on ship-board,' she said. 'It may be hard to take time from the other young people, but I know my little girl will share the most won-derful experience of her life, with me.' She looked around the crowded deck as if it had the glamour of a ship of dreams. 'Those letters will be my trip abroad,' she said. Then she was hurried down the gang-way, her delicate old face distorted in an effort at a goodbye smile." There was a pause. Then Sally rose with a hopeless gesture. "I haven't written one thing yet," she said bitterly. "I can't write her a lie, and I can't tell her I've been as lonesome as a smallpox suspect in quarantine." Bill Woodruff smiled, the tension relieved by her incongruous conclusion. Besides, she was so frankly, distractingly pretty in spite of the "old warm clothing" so recklessly advised by the guide books. "I don't understand how it's happened," he said, "but there certainly hasn't been anything soul-stirring to put in those letters. Shuffleboard-jolly crowds- moonlight"-he enumerated slowly, "we can manage that; Aunt Sarah has them all from soup to fish, and I shall help write the letters," he declared. "What about this crowd," reflectively, "I know some of them are a good sort." 0 13 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 133 ---------- Yes, she returned satirically. There is a party of English officers and diplomats and their wives. They've been touring in the interests of the Allies and naturally they keep to themselves. When those girls even pass me I feel countrified and the rest of the women lie in rows like cocoons, writing endless letters and complaining about the service. Oh! Everything's wrong with me-clothes, place at table-most of all being alone like this. I suppose men don't mind," with a sweet little smile of commiseration, "but I called you my cell-mate when I saw you shared my hard luck." Her cell-mate struck the railing with unnecessary vim. "Well, I am an unmitigated idiot," he exclaimed. I subsidized Tommy to put me in a quiet corner and at first I thought you might have done the same. I might give my own credentials before we talk any more. I'm one of that English crowd myself"-with an abruptness that was almost boyish. I am Captain William Wood-ruff- usually harmless, but very irritable while convalescing. I was buried by a shell explosion and sent home to pull myself to-gether." He smiled in deprecation of her gasp of astonishment and excitement. "It's been awfully hard to be shelved, I can tell you, but I found I could so something in Canada and the States and for a month we've been visiting camps, reviewing troops, doing state dinners, while all the time I've been wild to be back with the rest of the fellows. Finally I collapsed like a silly baby and that's why we are trying this trip. My sister and her husband are on board, and my pal Ted Cocannon. They've been leaving me to sulk alone, but Ted will be keen for the shuffleboard and walking. Tomorrow I shall tuck you under Alice's motherly wing and she'll see that you have a jolly good time, and Ted will try to monopolize you and tell you how to play polo. We want this trip to broaden Aunt Sarah." He smiled at her vivid face. They were leaning on the rail, looking down at the long green swells slowly breaking into crests of silver froth. The waves seemed to vibrate before Sally's confused eyes. Captain Woodruff was continuing in his tranquil voice. "We are a good many days in arrears on Aunt Sarah's trip, and we've a lot of material to collect for letters." He began collecting cushions, rugs and chairs and bestowing them upon the ubiquitous Tommy. There will be a place near the life boats on the boat deck where we can see a streak of moonlight reaching to Dodgeville," he said. He stood sharply silhouetted against a dark sky-very clean-cut and soldierly in his rough clothes. Curling wisps of mist trailed past the sickle moon, which hung high in a sky turning blue-black after a brief twilight. "Aunt Sarah is a prophetess," he said with a great sigh. I think our trip and hers is going to be the most wonderful thing in our lives." CATHERINE FIFIELD. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 134 ---------- FIRST PRIZE ESSA Y October 7, 1777 The Day When Arnold Should Have Died. The human mind is fickle. It is not a unit, instead of a single harmonious agency it is an uncertain compound of elements, both good and evil. It is the most chaotic portion of man. Almost from infancy it is the scene of a desperate struggle-integrity and faithfulness vieing with their many enemies. Which will be vic-torious no mortal can tell. As the readers of American history stop to study and consider the characters, the minds, the motives, alike of our heroes and our traitors, Washington-in all his glory and heroism--stands before us the father of his country. Another we see, despised and hated, in all the disgrace of a traitor- one who sacrificed all integrity, popularity, and respect, one who but for his lack of moral courage and strength of character might have, to this day, been ranked next to Washington and Greene,--we see Benedict Arnold, deserter and betrayer of his fatherland in its time of greatest need. His treason is the most dramatic incident in America. Yea, even more-"The fact that Washington loved and admired him is sufficient warrant that his character was at least great enough to make its ruin a tragedy." Had he not been the victim of a rash, impulsive, jealous mind; had he not been deficient in intellect and tact and oversensitive to public opinion, in Arnold was the making of a patriot, than which none might have been greater. Jealous, because his elders were promoted over him, he sold him-self cheap,-cheap as the very dirt upon which the lowest of criminals tread. The price paid for his dishonor was 6,000 pounds sterling, a brigadier-ship in the British army, the hatred of the American nation, and the contempt of all England. What a reward! What a worthy reward! "Unsightly is deformity e'en in the gnarled and storm-riven oak or stunted flower. Doubly deformed is a deformed mind." Such was Arnold's. Nature's blunder! A ruined soul! Never-the-less it is only just to recall his services to the cause of American independence: The remarkable deeds of Arnold, the patriot, at Ticonderoga and Crown Point, his "active, intelli-gent, and enterprising" deeds at Quebec; and his valiant heroism in the naval combat on Lake Champlain. Though impetuous, hasty O1 D ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 135 ---------- and self-willed, ever striving for honor, he risked his life again and again for his country. At the most critical point of the Revo-lution, when even Gates had not the courage to attack Burgoyne, Arnold, ever on the alert, took command, urged on the army, and on October 7, 1777, won a decisive victory at Behmus Heights, near Saratoga, and crowned his day with glory. However, these are not the things that are suggested to our minds when we hear the name of Benedict Arnold, but "the name stands, and will ever stand, as the symbol of unfaithfulness to trust." Treason dashes all honor to dust. He, who won fame at Behmus Heights, was more severely wounded there than at Quebec. During the six months of his convalescence, the fire of Satan burst forth and all honor was obliterated. Scarcely had he recovered when he began plotting the deed which caused his disgraceful downfall. From childhood Arnold had possessed a certain "obduracy of conscience, cruelty of disposition, irritability of temper," and a reckless indifference to the good or ill opinion of others. This left but a weak founda-tion upon which to build a character worthy of honor. Once in the path of wrong "Temptation begets sin and sin yet further sin and this again punishment sure and inexorable." How thankful we are that heaven relieved the loving mother of the anguish of witnessing her son's career of "ambition without virtue, of glory tarnished with crime, and of depravity ending in infamy and ruin." It was from motive of interest, not choice, that Arnold did not betray his country till such a time as the baser elements of his mind gained supremacy, for it has been truly and wisely spoken: "In every mind of might some faculty predominates and by its single strength measures the greatness,-or perchance, the misery, of a life." Because of these baser faculties Arnold went down, down, lived in a traitor's disgrace and died sorrowing for his sins. Washington, his steadfast friend, upon hearing of his down-fall, with choking voice and tearful eyes, said to Lafayette, "Ar-nold is a traitor, and has fled to the British! Whom now can we trust?" The hatred of every American for this traitor may be summed up in the following conversation: Arnold, upon asking an American captive, "What do you suppose my fate would be if my misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner?" received the prompt and frank reply, "They would cut off the leg that was wounded at Saratoga and Quebec and bury it with the honors of war, and the rest of you they would hang on a gibbet." It may be truly said that no man is so base that in him can be found no good, for Arnold's last days, spent in London, were days of bitter remorse and reproach. The great name which he had so gallantly won and so basely lost left him in peace neither ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 136 ---------- night nor day. The strong frame which had withstood many a battle at last broke down. On his last day he called for his American uniform, which he had carefully preserved, and putting it on said, "Let me die in this old uniform in which I fought my battles. May God forgive me for ever putting on another." Along the western wall of the little chapel at West Point are a number of marble tablets. Each records, with the dates of birth and death, the name of a major general who has done honor to this our native country. Upon one of these may be seen "Major General;" a deep mark across the record effaces the name. Following the date, "Born 1740," is another deep groove, for it has been truly said "Death to honor merits no reward." Thus closes the awful drama of a ruined soul. FLORENCE DODGE. ~I2zZZ3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 137 ---------- Lost and Found--A Claim and A Daughter The long summer day was fast fading into the dusk which gives evidence of night, the only distinguishing mark between night and day in the North country, where summer means light all night, where night gives way to day. Julia Barton watched the declining day with a wistful longing which she could not ex-plain even to herself. There was so much work to be done among these people with whom she labored, but lately they seemed to draw back from her and to refuse stubbornly the willing aid which she had offered them in so many cases where death had been steadily and gradually warded off by her constant care. Ever since the death of Oglok, a little Eskimo baby, the people had re-garded her with that reticent air which Julia could not understand in them. She had worked day and night over the baby, but de-spite all her solicitude the little life had slipped beyond her grasp. Although she had done her best to bring the suffering child back to health, Julia knew that it was the most merciful thing that could have happened when her efforts failed, for the people were so ignorant, so helpless when caring for their sick, that the suf-fering endured, especially by the children, was unspeakable. And now for some unaccountable reason the people were refusing the aid so necessary to their best welfare and were falling back into their old ignorance and superstition. Julia knew that Father Marceau, the Catholic priest, was making his annual visit to the little village of Chugiack and she also knew what deep resentment he bore toward her, a Protestant, because of the people's deep-set affection for her and her work among them during the year he had been away. She had noticed how the people revered the priest and how they hoarded their pitifully small earnings to give to him when he made his yearly visit. She had seen the reception given him when he entered the village, how the Eskimos welcomed him to the best hut and carried him in, kissing his feet and paying him such reverence as would be accorded only to a god. She could understand how jealous such a man would be of the slightest shifting of affection to any-one other than himself. Now, as Julia sat in the doorway, with that wistful expression on her face, watching the day fade into night, she was pondering upon all this and wondering if these circumstances were in any I way connected with the people's changing attitude toward her. I ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 138 ---------- Finally, with a sigh, she arouse and made her way to one of the little huts of the village. Here was the home of her best friend among the Eskimo women. Mushwa had been the first to receive Julia and accept her aid and now when the other inhabitants of Chugiack were slowly turning away from the care of the young nurse, Mushwa proved a better friend than ever, calling upon Julia in cases of illness and persuading the Eskimo women to trust her and allow her to care for their ailing ones. Mushwa's little boy had been through a severe illness, but was now steadily regaining his health and vigor. As Julia stepped inside the little one-roomed dwelling, Mushwa came forward eagerly and took both her hands, giving her a searching glance. Julia looked up quickly. "And are you too beginning to doubt me, Mushwa?" she asked. "No, no, Mliss Julia, Mushwa know you her frien'; Mushwa not doubt you. But, Miss Julia-" "Yes, Mushwa, what is it?" and Julia scanned the Eskimo woman's face trying to read the look there hidden. "Well, Miss Julia, you know you not a Catholic, and Father Marceau, he tell that you no can go to heaven an' so my people say you bad an'- "And what, Mushwa?" "Oh, Miss Julia, now they think you bewitch Oglok an' that's why he die!" "And do you believe that too, Mushwa?" "No, no, no! I tell you so you can go. You mus' go tonight. My people ask the Father if you kill Oglok an' he not say, so they know you bewitch him, and tonight they going to kill you, so Oglok's spirit be not bewitched an' so he go to the land of the Blessed. Oh, Miss Julia, Mushwa want you to go! You mus' go now!" Julia managed to stumble to her home to better think out what plan to take. She knew now what the priest's malice had brought him to. Mushwa had spoken truly, she knew, for the Eskimo were easily aroused to suspicion and when once aroused nothing would do but that accounts must be balanced, a death for a death. Quickly she made her decision. She must leave the village as soon as it became dark. Mushwa's elder son, Ilkan, would be her guide and would make provision for the long mush over the trail. Julia made her preparations quickly, taking only the barest necessities. Then she made a trip to Mushwa's cabin to ask that lkan be allowed to accompany her. Mushwa was de-lighted to help her friend in this way and inside of an hour two travellers met at the edge of the little village of Chugiack, one a LO 11 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 139 ---------- woman, the other a lad. Without a word they started off over the trail. As they covered mile after mile of the well-beaten path Julia had time to ponder over her new condition. Now, if ever, she longed for that father of whom she knew so little. All she knew of him was what the people who had brought her up had told her. They had told her that when her mother died, her father had answered the call of the North, leaving the baby with them, but sending money each year to provide for her needs. He never sent any word to the child and all that her benefactors knew of him was that he was prospecting in the Northern country, the one desire which mastered him being to discover that gold which had eluded and disappointed so many men before. He was evidently making some good discoveries as money came regularly for Julia's edu-cation and needs, but his desire seemed to be for a greater dis-covery, for more and more of the yellow dust. Now as she trav-eled over the snow, Julia wondered where her father could lbe. She had come to Chugiack hoping to find him there, for his letters were always stamped with that postmark, but she had been dis-appointed during her year's sojourn in Chugiack as she had heard and seen nothing of him. A nurse by profession, she had taken to caring for the Eskimo who so needed her help, and now she was fleeing from those very people for whom she had done so much. And where was that father whom she had come up to Alaska in search of? Had she but known it, he was nearer to her now than he had been any time during the year, for his cabin was only a hundred miles from Chugiack. As he changed his prospecting grounds during the years, Mr. Barton had each time built a tem-porary cabin of logs where he might have shelter and protection from the cold. The night before Julia's hasty flight from the Es-kimo village he had again made a change in his grounds and con-sequently in his home. While searching for better prospects he had stumbled over something almost buried in the ground. He dug it up and found that it was an old broken rocker. He began making a hurried search and with his pick he soon uncovered a rusty gold pan. This made him more eager to continue his search but as night was drawing near he began to look around for a good resting place. The rocker was at the foot of a small hill and Barton climbed this, thinking to get a better view of the country and figuring that he might find the cabin where the prospector who had left his rocker had lived while working there. His speculation proved true for on his right a short distance from the hill he could see what was evidently an old cabin. He started towards it and ar- 03 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 140 ---------- rived at the door within a few minutes. The door was standing open and one glance inside showed that no one had lived there for some time. Barton looked around him. The remains of a woodpile lay rotting at one side, weeds grew thick around the door and the roof was beginning to cave in. He was reminded of a reclamation scheme he had once observed on a moose skin. Burned on the skin was a deserted cabin, near it a broken rocker and an old shaft. Back of the house grew tall evergreen trees, just as they did here. A moose was crossing over to the rocker, again return-ing to his own haunts. Beneath the picture was the following verse: "No sound breaks the stillness now, in the soft waving light Of Alaska's dark winters all frozen so tight; The miner is gone, the prospector fled, The claim is abandoned, their hopes are all dead." As this flashed through Barton's mind he entered the cabin. A musty damp odor prevailed. In one corner was a bed, maga-zines now yellowed with age strewn over it. By the window was a table with a candle on it and a pack of faded dog-eared cards. On the nails about the room were old clothes now grown moldy. Barton made the cabin habitable for the night and soon had a good fire built in the little stove which looked as if it too were ready to totter over with age. The next morning after a breakfast of hot coffee and bacon, Barton started feverishly on his search begun the preceding day. Toward the end of the day, with the aid of his pick, he located a shaft sunk in the earth. Now he had found what he was working for. Realizing that it would take several days before he could clear out the accumulated dirt he stopped for the night and again made camp. He continued his work day after day and by the end of the fifth day he was panning out a shovelful of the earth in which there were glimmerings of the yellow dust which he knew so well. The result was beyond all expectation! Assuredly some misfortune had befallen the former prospector or such a find would not have remained unknown! Barton panned out several more shovelfuls to assure himself of the richness of his discovery and then returned to the cabin. Mosquitos were thick, for it was the latter part of June and a warm summer night. Stopping only long enough to build a fire in the stove, Barton went out to gather twigs and green wood for a smudge to drive them away. As he was gathering the fuel he heard voices from the direction of the cabin and Barton quickly retraced his steps. ILI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 141 ---------- Meanwhile Julia and Ilkan were hurrying over the trail, plan-ning the trip so they could make a roadhouse each night. No misfortune had befallen them and they were making good time until the fifth day. They were traveling over a rough part of the trail covered with "niggerheads," those bunches of earth with tufts of grass on them, made apparently to test man's patience and perserverance. Julia was stepping, first on top of one, then between the next two, then stumbling onto the next one. It made progress decidedly tedious and very slow. They were just about through this stretch of country when Julia slipped and fell. A sprained ankle was the result and this made traveling still slower. It was impossible to reach a roadhouse that night, but luck favored them for they saw smoke rising between some trees, and follow- ing to where the smoke came from they beheld a small log cabin. No one was inside at the time so they walked in and made them-selves at home, knowing that if the owner were a true Alaskan they would be perfectly welcome. As Barton neared the door of the cabin he stopped for a mo-ment to listen to the voices. He recognized that of a man and woman, but this was not all. The voice of the woman was strangely familiar. It seemed like a voice he had heard years ago, but for a moment he could not place it. He stepped into the cabin. There, as he expected, were a man and a woman. The man was an Eskimo whom he had seen when on one of his trips to Chugiack to mail the check to his daughter-his little Julia, who was living down in the States-but the woman-where had he seen her be-fore? He knew he had not seen her and yet there was something peculiarly familiar about her. Then she spoke: "I have sprained my ankle and we have stopped here to see if I could do anything for it and to arrange for some kind of lodg-ing." That voice-now he knew of whom he was thinking, whose name he was trying to recall. This woman was almost the exact image of his beloved wife who had died some twenty-five years ago. Could it be possible that his little Julia had grown up to be so much like her mother, and could this be little Julia? But no! she could not be this old, and yet, as he counted it up, it had been twenty-five years. Of course she would have changed! And she would be just about the age of this woman standing before him. Without answering her request he came closer to her. "Could it be possible that your name is Julia- -Julia Barton?" he wavered. Julia looked up in astonishment. "Why, yes, that is just my name. How could you ever know it? You're not-are you-?" OLI ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 142 ---------- But the question remained unfinished. Before she could say any-thing more she was caught up in the arms of her father, who mur- Inured over and over as he kissed her, "My daughter!-my little Julia!" That night after supper Isaac Barton told Julia of all that had befallen him, after questioning her as to how she happened to come to this far Northland. He told her of his rich find and what it would mean to them. They sat up long and talked of the plans for the future. llkan would return to his people and they would start immediately for the States where they would spend the win-ter getting the men and machinery necessary to carry on the min-ing work. As the sun slowly went down to rise again in less than two hours, a voice was heard coming from the little old deserted cabin in the wilderness. The voice was that of Isaac Barton, the words Robert Service's, and they rose and fell clearly on the night air: "I wanted the gold, and I sought it; I scrabbled and miucked like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy-I fought it; I hurled my youth into a grave. I wanted the gold, and I got it- Came out with a fortune last fall, Yet somehow life's not what I thought it, And somehow the gold isn't all." FAITH CONDIT. 1LT c l0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 143 ---------- SECOND PRIZE ESSA Y ' e Great War and Democracy" Much has bleen said of the horrors of the great war, and no doubt a vast amount more could lie added. The spectacle of the earth's peoples bending their energies to kill and destroy, sacri-ficing the best men of our generation-such is the international anarchy which has engulfed the world. Can any good come out of this chaos? If so, will the gains ever offset the losses? Now let us consider some advantages resulting from this seeming ruin. That up to the beginning of this conflict the bulk of the peo-ple had manifested apathy toward international, and even na-tional politics, has frequently been pointed out. Each seemed content to follow his own petty business. "Politics don't interest me," was a common remark. But what a change has taken place in the attitude of the individual since the opening of the struggle between nations! It has been brought home to him with tragic force that the nation dominates the individual, even in matters of life and death. This realization is bearing fruit; it is making for true democracy. For example, in England about a year after the war began, King George criticised cartoonists for caricaturing the kaiser; he said it was an indignity directed toward his class. The people re-plied through their representatives in Parliament by cutting off the pensions of his majesty's alien relatives. The women of England, who before the war had no immediate chance of getting the ballot, despite the activity of a few suffra-gettes, will now be granted suffrage because of their heroic in-dustry and sacrifice during the struggle. And it remained for the world war to overthrow despotism in Russia. Previous uprisings of liberal and intellectual groups had been crushed with an iron hand, and the reformers banished to Siberia. At the opening of hostilities the majority of the soldiers recruited for the Russian army were illiterate and ignorant. They, like their fathers before them, had tilled the soil for their masters; they had known nothing but hard work and meagre fare; they had been tractable, blindly obedient to constituted authority. But here and there in the various regiments were men who had read and thought, men with a vision of those wonderful ideas- liberty and equality. These men talked, cautiously, of course, but never-theless, effectively. Such ideas the bulk of the men had barely heard of before, an then only as something to be shunned. But they listened, fascinated. And these talks filled in time during ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 144 ---------- their ample periods of inactivity. New desires soon stirred in their breasts; their vision grew broader, and they formed a truer conception of their own worth. Thus by word of mouth these unlettered soldiers learned of democracy. The conditions brought about by war had opened their eyes. So when the despised Duma made the bold stroke that hurled the despot from his throne, the army raised their guns to proclaim a constitutional government. The echo of this revolution was heard in Germany. Social-ists, who had long been restive under the plural voting system, now urged manhood suffrage in no uncertain terms. This demand is being considered seriously by the government, though before the war it had been ignored. Also, the unprecedented slaughter in this war has in a large measure abolished the traditional gulf between officers and men. For even through the gilt and regalia of officers, death stalks. Indeed, so many officers have been killed that it has necessitated the wholesale promotion of enlisted men. Death is a great leveler. When one sees men killed and wounded about him, indiscrimin-ately, one realizes that we all have the same capacity for suffering -that we all are of common clay. And now, in the fighting nations the people no longer see in war a picture of stalwart troops marching gaily behind the colors to stirring martial music. They know better. They know war as a hideous specter that kills and mutilates the men on the field and starves and makes heart-sick the women, children and old men at home. So steeped are these people in blood and sorrow that when the conflict is over they will rise, one and all, to de-mand a peace that is secure and permanent. President Wilson, on the advent of the United States into the great war, voiced our country's position as standing for broader democracy among the peoples of the earth and for a League of Nations to enforce world peace. So we have reason to believe that, although the world will have sacrificed hosts of its best men in the conflict, still those left behind and their descendants will find this a more just world in which to live. Thus the great war will not have been in vain.

Heretofore there has been individual competi- tion in declamation, five being chosen for the finals from a tryout and the winner and second choice receiving a prize of ten and five dollars respectively. The debate was conducted in the same man-ner. Six were chosen from the tryout for the final contest, three on a side, selected by lot, the winning team receiving a thirty dollars cash prize to be divided equally among its members. This year a committee consisting of members of the Junior and Senior classes met with the members of the faculty contest committee and arranged the following contest: Dramatic reading, 20 points; humorous reading, 20 points; extempore talk on a current topic, 10 points; and a debate, 50 points; totaling 100 points, each class to be represented by one speaker in each event; the contest in debate to have a team of three on a side; the total cash prize of fifty dollars for both debate and declamation to go to the class receiving the greatest number of points. Saturday evening, April 7, in the Normal Auditorium, the Juniors and Seniors again met in deadly combat. This time, how-ever, not a contest in physical prowess, but to establish the su-premacy in public speaking. Both classes were well represented. The following people participated: Margery Draper, Elsie Miescke and Ellen Peterson representing the Juniors in the two readings and the extempore talk, while Martha Johanson, Frances t~it 146 'Ir- ____'Y U l ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 147 ---------- Miescke JUNIOR CoNTFI-si'.N'TS P'eterson Aim B oom il Vanderlinden I )r a per McKenzie and Ina Kirkman represented the Seniors.

Affirmative, Juniors; negative, Seniors. The Seniors did not anticipate a landslide. The Juniors re- ceived one vote on the debate but points were only counted for the winners, thus giving the Seniors 100 points. After enough has been deducted for medals for the winners, the balance of the fifty dollar prize money will go toward the pur-chase of a memorial for the school. Although the contest was an experiment, it proved a remark-able success. Both teams did extremely well and deserve the honor and respect of not only their classmates, but the student body and the school as a whole. Class spirit was evidenced in a most kindly feeling and the Juniors proved themselves true sportsmen in defeat. C. L.

BROWN Vice-President - - - VIDA DEIGH - Treasurer - - - ARNOLD KAAS Sergeant-at-Armis - - MR. FARREL Klipsun Reporter At the beginning of the school year last September a precedent was established which is worthy of notice. While at our Normal, feeling toward the lower classmen has never been rampant, yet there has been a decided advantage and pleasure resulting from the union of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes into one class known as the Elementary. This class is the smallest in the school, yet its influence is felt in various phases of Normal activities. Its members are found taking active parts in various organizations and clubs of the school, Rural Life, Philos, Aletheia, Ohiyesa, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A. and the Board of Control. Our members, not yet having learned the devices whereby it is possible to skim along without studying, are, of course, brilliant leaders in class recitation, and are always wide awake. Now, there are exceptions to most rules, and it is true that one of our choicest young men fell asleep in English one Monday morning while Mr. Parrish was reading Paradise Lost. There was consid- erable debate at the time, as to whether he was overcome by sul-phurous fumes or lulled to sleep by Mr. Parrish's rich, melodious voice. Both sides presented able arguments but a decision was never reached, because a few days later the measles claimed him as a victim, and all conjecture was merged into sympathy. Our class meetings have been enlivened by the addition of parliamentary drill and occasional programs. Our parties have always been occasions for a general good time. They will long be retained as pleasant memories of our school life. None that at-tended the "Children's Party" and the Christmas Tree are likely to forget. On March 10th, the class was entertained by Miss Estella Burnside at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Henderson. Some good individual work was done by the basketball team. The team work was not so good. The Kline cup was never in danger of being captured by our team. However, effort is always to be commended whether or no the object striven for be won. We shall remember our team dared to oppose the two stronger teams. We feel, as a class, that our success and pleasant social times together have been due to the interest our class advisors, Mr. Philippi, Miss Keeler, Miss Sands and Mr. Chute, have exerted in our behalf. May they accept our appreciation. tJr raC "1 rII J a ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 165 ---------- I\ 7 urIii ,, LIZAT1131"L Z F ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 166 ---------- [7.; " 41 l'a~pl ,. , l, y f , . rg. _,-~ - ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 167 ---------- Junior Class First Semester OFFICERS Second Semester CHAS.

We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all classes are created equal; that they are endowed by the faculty with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, organization, and the pursuit of learning. That to secure these rights, faculty advisors are instituted among classes as deriving their just power from the consent of Dr. Nash, and that, when, under the leadership of these advisors, any class attains unusual honor and success, it is the right of that class to claim its due respect and distinction. Prud-ence, indeed, will dictate that this respect should not be sought for light and transient causes, but when a long train of accomp-lishments and successes evince the superior quality of any class, it is the right of that class, indeed, its duty, to demand this recog-nition. Such has been the achievement of the Junior class. The history of the class of '18 is a history of repeated accomplishments and victories. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world: It is the largest class in the history of this Normal school, and, according to a good authority, the best. It has contributed star men to every field of this school's athletic work. It has supported with its presence and enthusiasm all school events-athletic, social, literary and otherwise. It has won the Kline Cup, gaining two out of three games from the Seniors. O, rf7 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 168 ---------- It has given the Senior boys a decisive defeat in the game of basketball. It has led the other classes in social events: First-By having a big party and a big picnic for the class as a whole; second, by dividing the class into groups and conducting group parties and picnics in great number throughout the year; third, by conducting these mixers in a dignified manner, in accordance with "Scudder's Rules of Decorum." It has given a class party where there were more gentlemen than ladies in attendance, thus breaking all rules of precedent in this Normal. It has given an entertaining program in Assembly, wherein the Faculty and Seniors were so successfully imitated that they had trouble in proving to themselves their own identity. It has given, with great success, the stage production, "Merely Mary Ann." We, therefore, the members of the class of '18, appealing to the senses of justice of our readers, in the memory of these acts, solemnly claim and declare that the Junior Class is, and ought to be, entitled to a higher distinction than its contemporaries.

The "stunts" were clever, the games ex-citing, and delicious refreshments served in a bower of autumn leaves were duly appreciated, likewise the graceful (lancing of some of the Senior girls. In spite of the busy days preceding the Christmas holidays a number of Seniors, garbed for a National Costume Party, as-sembled to enjoy another care-free evening. The program showed all the nations to be on equal footing, as did also the folk-dancing in the gym effectively prove the Seniors to be incomparable lin-guists- Norwegians (lanced and conversed with Spaniards in the easiest manner imaginable, as well as partaking of delicious re-freshments together. Our departing Mid-Years enjoyed a farewell banquet at the 13 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 172 ---------- Leopold. Instead of the customary formal reception tendered them by their classmates they enjoyed an evening of globe-trot-ting and were most efficiently directed by capable guides through winding tunnels, up hill and down dale. They viewed the fashions of Paris, the mysteries of Egypt, and partook of cooling refresh-ments ere they turned weary footsteps homeward. Senior Class Day-oh, yes-we knew the faculty members were languishing for a glimpse of themselves in their natural state. Sh! Don't tell anyone, but did you see that ghostly line of phantomsi noiselessly tip-toeing down the steps of numerous boarding houses in the "cold gray dawn" of Saturday, May 5th? Those were the Senior girls starting on the "Senior Sneak" to the tall timbers of Lake Whatcom. Did they have a good time? Some people do ask foolish questions! Another "Sh !" for there goes the whole Senior Class on their Senior "walkout." No gray phantoms this time for naturally, when boys have to be taken in on a thing of that kind, they can't be aroused ere the break of day. Worries over papers soon due and all the maladies peculiar to Seniors were forgotten and no one had a care except the fear that appetites might exceed supplies. But why such idle fears-Senior "eats" committees are wise beyond their years! The "last days" were a mad whirl of events-one splendid time after another, headed by the President's reception to the Seniors, and succeeded by the Junior-Senior reception, the Alum-ni banquet, Class Day, the excellent presentation of "The Piper," and the end drawing very near. On Sunday, May 27th, an excellent Baccalaureate address was delivered by Rev. Dike of Tacoma. "Positively our last appearance" occurred on May 29th, when the long-desired diplomas were presented. The speakers for the day were President Todd of the College of Puget Sound in Ta-coma, and Virginia Mathes, chosen by the faculty, and Louise Buchanan, chosen by the class, to represent the Seniors. It is fitting here to voice our hearty appreciation of the guid-ance of Miss Norton, Miss Baker, and Mr. Bever, as our class ad-visors, and to bid our old B. S. N. S., its faculty, and remaining students a long farewell. ~~------Li ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 173 ---------- HAZEL F.

Edgar W orth Other Children.--- Margaret Fraser Wilma Lambert Ruth Strand Hallie W esterlund Harold Flick In selecting "The Piper," by Josephine Preston Peabody, for 223 223 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 224 ---------- their dramatic offering of the year, the Senior class chose a play of rare distinction. Several years ago this play won first prize in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre prize contest. It has been gratifying to American men of letters to see an American dra-matic production honored by presentation at the birth- place of Shakespeare. "The Piper" was produced at Stratford-on-Avon under the direction of A. E. Benson, the distinguished English actor. In America the play was produced in lavish fashion by the New Theatre Company in New York, with Edith Wynn Matheson as the Piper. It has proven very popular with schools and col-leges in recent years. "The Piper" is a poetic drama full of beautiful rythm in ex-quisitely fashioned blank verse and splendid passion. Mrs. Marks-for the authoress is the wife of Lionel Marks of Harvard-has taken the simple legend of the Piper of Hamelin town, made famous by Browning, and has built upon it a drama of significance. In her version the Piper appears as a wandering stroller,--a creature all warmth and passion, whose mission it is to go up and down the world's highways setting free the caged things. He finds the Hamelin children behind the bars of Hame-lin lusts,-crushed by the parents' sordid lives. He led them away to the cave in the hill, not through the spirit of revenge for fail-ure to receive a thousand guilders, but to show Hamelin folk what children mean in their lives. With splendid passion he ar-raigns the materialists, the money-grabbers, the ignorant fathers and gossiping mothers. The play is really a plea for childhood and its rights. Finally the love of Veronika for her little lame boy Jan forces the Piper to return the children. The play ends happily in direct traditional tragedy of the Hamelin children. The play is to be produced with a conventional setting, no change of scenery being attempted. Neutral curtains will suggest the out-of-doors, with several small fir trees placed conventionally to signify the forest. Incidental music by the High School Or-chestra will lend to the enchantment of the fairy-spell of the Piper. Beautiful effects will be worked out with colored light at strong dramatic points in the scenes. The following strong cast of characters shows how truly rep- resentative of the class a play of this nature is, combining leading and minor characters, in dances and crowd-scenes. The Piper is being produced under the stage management of \Ir. Hoppe of the Department of Expression, whose previous successes with difficult and elaborate drama assure an exquisite rendering. 400= r-0 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 225 ---------- MERELY MARY ANN Cast of Characters: Lancelot, a composer .................

The play is one of Israel Zangwill's productions and has met with great success. Mary Ann is a simple little coun-try girl who slaves in a London lodging house. Lancelott, a pen-niless composer, becomes attached to her, but is kept by his aris-tocratic pride from marrying her. Yet when Mary Ann inherits a fortune and moves away, Lancelot still finds in her the inspir-ation which leads him to success. The two meet again in after years and all ends happily when Lancelot finds the wealthy and much sought after Marion to be still at heart, Merely Mary Ann. Paul Thompson well represented Lancelot in his fiery pride and moody despair, and Myrtle Pugsley portrayed with wonder-ful skill the at once humorous and pathetic Mary Ann. The humorous side of the play was kept up by Arthur Crawshaw as the happy-go-lucky Peter, and Ruth Craig, as the landlady, who is raising her daughter Rosie (Ruth Elander) to be a "lidy." In the last act Paul Washke, as Lord Valentine, caused much merri- ment with his ridiculous egotism. The minor characters, the Irish O'Gormans, and the flirtatious Trippitt sisters, who lodge at Mrs. Leadbetter's; the Rev. Samuel Smedge; Lady Chalmer, Marion's patroness, and her guests; and Howard, the proverbial, immobile footman, were all well acted. Last, but not least, is Dick, Mary Ann's canary, who keeps her from being too lonely in her lodging-house days. ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 226 ---------- Al ::: v ~ c: a r o z ~ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 227 ---------- p ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 228 ---------- HOUSE NEXT DOORn CAST "THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR" Which Thespian starred in this production? To tell the truth, Mr. Hoppe made such apt selection of the cast that everybody starred, making it exceedingly difficult to commend any one par-ticular person. The auditorium was crowded on the date of the performance, March 3rd, and the audience heartily expressed its appreciation. From every possible viewpoint "The House Next Door" was a suc-cess and the Thespian Dramatic Club gained eminence thereby. Will Beardslee, as Sir John Cotswold, the English nobleman, who had come down in the world financially, but had retained ever iota of his original pride, sustained the heavy character work. His conception was so realistic that many were heard to exclaim, "I'll bet Red won't talk above a whisper on Monday!" His beneficent enemy, Sir Isaac Jacobson, played by Charles Leber, occasioned Sir John as much displeasure as he occasioned pleasure for the audience. This somewhat idealistic characteriza- tion of the Jew was made very attractive by Mr. Leber. EÂ£ t ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 229 ---------- The four young people of the rival houses, English and Jew, were vivaciously played by the Misses Armstrong and Christen-son, Messrs. Anstett and Thompson. These young people occu-pied the stage much of the time, but they and their love tangles were intensely interesting from beginning to end. Lady Cotswold and Lady Jacobson, played by Misses Hansen and Layton, gave glimpses of the domineered and domineering types of woman. Both characters were well rendered. Comedy was supplied at intervals by Walter Lewis, operatic agent (a la Reuben Wagner), by Capt. Clive Trevor, exceedingly English, "doncher know," (John Miller), by Vining and Maxmilian, merely servants, (Clare Altman and Elwood Dairs). A mere sight of the "Presbyterian," who was a "Jew at heart," and the degen-erate and brainless Trevor were sufficient to provoke laughter. The varied trials of the butler class were conclusively but patiently exhibited in Vining and Maxmilian. The cast in its entirety was as follows: Sir John Cotswold .................. ........................ ... W ill Beardslee Lady M argaret Cotswold ..........................................

Students and the public were admitted free of charge. The plays were chosen for their simplicity and variety. The first was "A Pot of Broth," by W. B. Yeats, an exceedingly fanciful and rollicking Irish comedy. The second was "A Bright Morning," by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero; a recent translation from the Spanish, and made up of sparkling lines. The last was "Thieves," by Glenn Hughes; a dramatic sketch laid in the tene-ment district of an American city. In the production of these plays no attempt was made at elab-orate scenery, informality and suggestion were considered more appropriate in this particular case. On the whole, the acting was very good. The most difficult, and perhaps the most successful, characterization was accomplished by Miss Berniece Welch in the role of Annie, the old news-vender, in "Thieves." The part re- ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 231 ---------- quired an artistic conception as well as intensity of playing, and Miss Welch lived up to both these requirements. Of an entirely different nature was the character of Sibby Coneely in "A Pot of Broth," and this Miss Mabel Smith portrayed with delightful spirit and feeling. Miss Jennie Olson and Miss Mildred Bozorth played the women characters in "A Bright Morning," and were delightfully vivacious and spontaneous. Miss Olsen had an un-commonly difficult task as Dona Laura, the chic little dowager who lied so gracefully and flirted so quaintly. The out-standing man's role was that of Don Gonzalo in "A Bright Morning." Albert Booman interpreted this irritable and loveable old gentleman with exquisite skill and appreciation. Roy Bean proved a very attractive and picturesque beggar in "A Pot of Broth," and John Estes played him a good second as the whimsical and stupid John Coneely. Bert Foster and Smith Carleton handled the principal men's parts in "Thieves," and "It's just a little kid that ran away from home" ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 232 ---------- hoth characters stood out as clear-cut conceptions. Foster was well-suppressed in his heavy-man work, and Carleton showed the proper reserve and poise for a refined juvenile man. Other minor parts were acceptably taken by Herbert Davis, Reuben Alm, Her-bert Potter, and Miss Miriam Sherman. The performance was given under the direction of Mr. Glenn Hughes, who came to B. S. N. S. from the Forest theatre at Carmel-by- the-Sea, and has won enthusiastic thanks from the student body as a whole, to say nothing of the Philo-Aletheian group. H. S. SENIOR CLASS PLAYS Remember ye Friday night, April 20? Well, rather! For then the Seniors of the B. S. N. S. High School gave their class plays, "Pygmalion and Galatea," and "A Proposal Under Diffi-culties." The casts were "all-star" and hence, under the direction of the "famous" stage-directors, Foster and King, attained a "right" good performance. The cast for "Pygmalion and Ga-latea" was: Pygmalion, an Athenian sculptor.......Kenneth Selby Galatea, an animated statue........Gertrude Kaufman Agesimos, a slave to Chrysos .............................. Kenneth Tunstall Chrysos, art patron............ ........... ....................... Elm er W ebster Mimos, slave to Pygmalion .........................

Iva Larsen Stage D irector ................................................................ ............. M rs. K in g All sorts of enthusiasm was put into the plays, that they might be a success; not so much for the players' glory as for that of our principal, Mr. Parrish. There was a good house and all went well, except for a few slips, and for Mr. Foster's continuous calls of "Louder!" "Slower!" and "Wait 'till they're through laughing." The costumes were pretty, the make-up fetching, due to Mr. Hughes. We thank him and also our present property manager, Gladys Day. At the drop of the curtain we drew a deep breath, prepared ourselves to be "took" by Mr. Philippi, and repaired, one and all, to Kenneth Selby's home where he received us ere IIOo ur troupe should be dissolved. _ ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 233 ---------- Nobody asked you to speak "PR UNELLA" On the evening of 'May 12th, in the Assembly Hall, the Alki- siah Literary Society presented the poetical play, "Prunella," by Laurence Housman and Granville Barker. The production was novel for several reasons. In the first place, the cast was composed entirely of girls. Fortunately, the characters of the play are all fanciful enough that this substitu-tion of sex was not ludicrous, and, if anything, heightened the delicacy of the scenes. "Prunella" has a quaint, high- walled Dutch garden for its setting, and this was reproduced on the local stage with as ef-fective illusions as the equipment would allow. The colors of the decorations and the costumes showed taste and careful planning. The story of the play is a charming one. Pierrot, the tradi-tional hero of pantomime, falls in love with Prunella, a sheltered flower of a girl, who lives with her three aunts, Prim, Prude, and Privacy, and the band of mummers, followers of Pierrot, rollick about the sedate and proper garden until they captivate the heart ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 234 ---------- 'Come down Pierrette, come down, and be mine" "Ell ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 235 ---------- That somebody ought to be you' of the unworldly-wise Prunella. At night, in the quiet moon-light, with the aid of the conventional, but necessary ladder, the elopement is effected. Three years later the garden is shown again; this time it is deserted. The aunts are dead, vines have overgrown the walls, the statue of Love is weather-worn, and in the midst of this chaos, Pierrot returns, and sad at heart, and strangely meditative. He is looking for Prunella, whom he deserted after a year of married life, for he has found that "his heart has become bad company for him"-a heretofore unknown experience for this wandering, foot- loose, lover of all the world. In his despair he cries out, and the statue of Love mocks him, upbraiding him for his selfish-ness, and advising that he call for Pierrette-as he has named Prunella-not for the sake of vanity, but out of his soul and from the anguish of his heart. In the meantime Prunella has wandered back, weary, de-spondent, only to find herself forgotten by her friends, and with-out a home, for Pierrot has bought the place in memory of her. They find each other in the garden where they first met and ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 236 ---------- talked of love in the still moonlight when the birds were singing. Pierrot begs for forgiveness, and believes for a time that Pierrette is a spirit come to torment him. But she convinces him of her reality by taking him in her arms in an embrace that lifts him up to a new realization of love and sacrifice. Once more, as they stand thus, though the garden is in ruins, and though their two lives lie marred behind them, the air grows sweet with perfume, and the birds, awaking in the night, sing even more sweetly than they had ever sung before, because now their song was made rich by sorrow. Miss Elizabeth Moore played the part of Prunella, and Miss Mary Donald was Pierrot. Both these characters were interpreted with delightful delicacy, and the twenty other members of the Alkisiahs who supported them contributed spirit and atmosphere throughout the play. The production was directed by Mr. Glenn Hughes. 0 C Y 1 1C3 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 237 ---------- J A A ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 238 ---------- iI I;\P;a ::pp i': Beware All Stranded Girl Scouts rFv 1i r ir ; r,; ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 239 ---------- 1 NorLmiafle During Vacation Time-As the Bo Normal Life During Vacation Time-Ask the Boys ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 240 ---------- I It V Girls Who Play Basketball 240 ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 241 ---------- It JAL 72i~i7i -4 III The Facuilty 3Jlisl Banquiet ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 242 ---------- The Tree Dwellers and Their Friends ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 243 ---------- Are There Any Boys at the Normal?

Much work must be crowded into a few busy days already full to overflowing with school duties and the labors incident to the closing of the year and graduation. No doubt there is room for improvement in this edition of Klipsun, but your criticism should be tempered by these circumstances. The success of this edition of the Klipsun is in no small degree due to the artistic engravings, the work of the Western Engraving and Colortype Company of Seattle; the Brown Studio of Bellingham, and the Union Printing, Bind-ing Stationery Company of Bellingham. Special mention should be made of Mr. C. S. Beard, man-ager, and Mr. Frank H. Barnett, foreman of the composing room of the Union Printing, Binding Stationery Company. I sincerely hope that the Klipsun of 1917 will carry a pleasing message to each member of the Senior Class and its other readers. BERNIECE WELCH, Editor. DE ---------- Klipsun, 1917 - Page 256 ---------- STUDENTS! We wish to recommend to you the firms whose adw rtisements appear under this cover.

St. Paul, Minn., installed the Palmer Method in her entire school system last September. The Palmer Method had already "made good" in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and scores of other big cities. We reach the Pupil through the Teacher. We increase the Teacher's market value, and diminish her labor. There are many thousands of grate-ful teachers throughout the United States, to whom the Palmer method has spelled Opportunity and Success. The remarkable growth of the business of The A. N.
