Title: Men and women with campaign materials re: Initative 158
Date: 1944
Description: A group of about thirty six older men and women seated at and standing behind several tables; all are holding cards with "158" written on them. One man holds a larger sign that says "Vote for Init. No. 158 Nov. 7" and above that "Create Jobs - Build (?) - Save Your Home" Two men stand in front of the group; one holds a tabloid newspaper "Townsend Weekly" with lists of recommended candidates and the other man holds a ballot and points to a specific place on it. A sign on the wall behind them reads "...ars of Independence 1940" and "...od..less America" Washington State Initiative 158 in 1944 was the Liberalization of Old Age Assistance Laws by the Townsend Clubs. It was defeated. In the 1930's over 5,000,000 old people joined Townsend Clubs nationwide to support old age pensions for people over age 60.

BREAKFV Published by Associated Students Western Washington College of Education Bellingham, Washington LORRAINE McCONNELL - Editor HARRIETT CLOW - Business Manager ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page [iv] ---------- FOREWORD During this, our second war year, many drastic changes have taken place in our college. Prominent among these are decreased enroll-ment, small enrollment of men, and stringent curtailment of pre-war ac-tivities. Rules have had to be altered to fit the times, because only a flex-ible system can survive such heavy blows to its foundations. One thing which hasn't changed is our standard of education; our plant is still pro-ducing top-flight teachers and is ful-filling its mission on the home front battlefield. ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page [v] ---------- TABLE OF CONTENTS PERSONNEL UNIONS SWING SHIFT S. Page 7 S. Page 33 . . Page 47 ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 6 ---------- THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE A lieutenant commander serving as director of instructor training of the United States Navy told a group of ed-ucators recently that he regarded our educational system as the most import-ant factor in the success of our war effort. This tribute to our schools is unmistakably significant. Some may say that he had reference to our high schools, technical schools, or the en- gineering colleges of our universities, but no one can say that such schools could exist without the elementary and junior high schools, for which our College prepares teachers. Since the beginning of the war, our College has provided an extended program of lower division education and a full program of professional training. Our service flag speaks with profound eloquence. The College is therefore contributing to victory. The Klipsun staff could not have chosen a more fitting theme this year than working for victory. We shall read the 1944 wartime Klip-sun with interest and pleasure.-W. W. Haggard, President. TRUSTEES Left: VERN BRANIGIN, Secretary Right: DR. W. D.

Large numbers of student and degree teachers took their training this year, aided by the modern facilities offered by the training school. An ever increasing number of requests from parents is being received asking admittance for their children into the school and educators throughout the state have made frequent visits to examine the system employed there.

Sixteen ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 17 ---------- JUNIOR-SENIOR CLASS To be a Junior now-is practically up in the ranks with being a Senior-for war conditions-brought a shortage of teachers-with all its other shortages-and has provided a three-year emergency teaching certificate that is sending studes out-to teach at the end of their Junior year. So with this new plan decreasing the number who return-to be Seniors-and with the interests-of the two classes- closer than ever-they have been combined this year-into a Junior-Senior class-led by Senior Walt Baker- who supervises many other campus activities besides those of his class. And the new combined class has two other junior officers-Doris Bishop-vice-presi-dent- and Ruth Kosche-secretary-all advised by Dr. Lucy Kangley. Now the big-gest responsibility falling on the shoulders of the upperclassmen each year-is man-aging the Homecoming week-end-this year handled by class prexy Walt Baker-and Jeannette' Bright. They changed it to "Home Front" week-end-and planned as in-teresting a program as pre-war days boasted-with a ship launching as a new bit to spice up interest-and the traditional banquet and dance-with Whidby Navy men to even up WWC's man-shortage on the dance floor-and with lovely Marie Eines reigning at the dance-wearing the crown of Queen Sigrid VI-attended by Princess-es Cheryl Smith-and Jeannette Bright-both juniors. The two classes were about even up with honors-Shirley Olsen headed the interclub council-the juniors sent Ruthe Olds off to the. WAVES-the Seniors cheered Jim Gilday to California to train as third baseman for the Seattle Rainier baseball team-after he had reinforced Lappy's basketball team here all winter-the team that rated many salutes from state sportcasters-and the team that was led by two Seniors-one Ernie Ludwick-and one Larry Munizza. Now this class is preparing to teach-and preparing for graduation -and they will follow tradition in June-as they receive their diplomas-and their degrees-and walk down the cement walk-past the hollow squares that began in 1915 and stopping-at an empty one-to drop in some remembrance-and leave their college days-sealed up-and marked "1944."

TAYLOR, Bellingham Twenty-three ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 24 ---------- SOPHOMORE CLASS They're not green, but they're not seasoned-they're sophomores and they make up the second largest class on the campus-and though they are traditionally consid-ered as in-betweens- they stand for the activity leaders at WWC-for with the Juniors student teaching this year under the war emergency plan-and the Seniors busy degree teaching-the sophs had to take over this year-and fill the shoes-usually worn by upperclassmen. To give a cross-section-of the backbone the sophs furnish-for WWC -there is Pat Scott editing the WWCollegian-usually an upper-classman's position -and ditto for Lorraine McConnell who heads-the Klipsun staff-leading the entire girl enrollment-Rachael Blekkink rules with the gavel at AWS-Harriett Clow is prexy of the campus elective club, Valkyrie-and when the votes were tallied for Board of Control position-this season three soph girls-Virginia Sorgenfrei, Alice Marie Ander-son, and Zosia Nowogroski-won the offices. As for drama-Jeanne Knudsen led-the "Brief Music" cast-and in the athletic world-Roy Wark was Lappy's most consistent hoopser-and speaking of basketball-it was when the U. of W. Huskies scheduled a game with Lappy's Vikings-that the sophs rounded up their energy-and sparked the game with a publicity campaign-to make it-the peppiest-and best-attended game of the season-not only by stringing posters and canvassing the town with tickets-but by sponsoring a pep rally-the night before. Heading this campaign-with the help of Vincella Zankich as co-chairman-was class president Cale Campbell-the "see all, tell all" sportscaster of campus athletics- who had for officers-two other top athletes -of the feminine world-Alice Marie Anderson as vice-prexy-and Crystal Ackerman as secretary-treasurer-and not satisfied with three athletic officers-the sophs chose Mrs. Orpha Christensen-PE instructor-as class adviser. There are many of 1944's sophs-who will not be back to WWC next fall-Carol Hanify is already a full-fledged WAVE-and many girls plan to follow her footsteps-this summer-and many sophs -who are non-diploma and filling basic two-year requirements will be transferring-while those that do return will be busily-student-teaching. But-in the words of a sophomore-and we quote-"your sophomore year-is the tops-you don't suffer initiations-like a freshman- and you don't have to face leaving college-like the seniors. There are times-when it's handy to be just an in-between!" Twenty-f our ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 25 ---------- Top Picture: A.

Bright, Booras FRESHMEN Your Freshman year in college- usually a year connected with being shoved around by upperclassmen-with just getting acquainted with the school because you're only a freshman. But in this wartime-WWC's enrollment showed a majority of freshmen-the ruling class of the campus-they shed all their greenness the first week-at a mixer in the lounge-and turned black in November to entertain with a Minstrel Show-that won unanimously-WWC's Oscar for 1943-1944. All profits from the show-consti-tuted the check that bought the nickelodeon-that is the pride of the student lounge. Twenty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 29 ---------- This lounge helps trace the history of 1944's Freshman class-which mainly gathered there between classes-woeing over "College Problems," courses-and glowing when a freshman girl-Amy Jean Allen-was crowned Publications Prom Princess. Then, too, class prexy Tom Hillier-so firm with the gavel-ruled the Lounge's ping-pong table with a firm grip on the paddle-vice president of the class-Betty Anderson-was a habitual dancer in the lounge-while Elaine Dahlgren-secretary-treasurer-just liked to read. But the Freshmen were a versatile class-adding many athletes to Lappyls basketball team-adding two yell leaders to school spirit-and many entertainers to assembly programs-in fact-adding a lot to all WWC.

Bright, Dr. Kangley, Dr. Bond, Gilday, Munizza, Mr. Carver, C, Smith, Stillman BOARD OF CONTROL Board of Control, the governing body of the school, at its regular Wednesday night meetings led and directed the activities of the college. Besides balancing the student affairs budget, the board planned Home Front Week-End, including the ship launching and the annual Campus Day affair held in Spring quarter. They, with the elected faculty members, supervised the opening and the manage-ment of the Student Lounge, picking the man-agers. Spring quarter they arranged to have it open Saturday night between the hours of 9 and 12 o'clock. Money was collected for the purchase of new records and other amusements. Under the capable leadership of senior Dec-lan Barron, the Board surmounted numerous bar-riers and completed a year chock-full of activi-ties. Declan F. Barron Thirty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 35 ---------- Burklund, Fisher, C. Smith, Sorgenfrei CO-OP BOARD Designed to plan the general rules and regulations and to take care of the inter-ests of the Co-op, the Board continued its active work. This year the six student mem-bers and Mr. Louis Earle had to contend mainly with the lack of stock replacements, as books were hard to purchase. With the money they had from not being able to buy new stock, the board bought $2,500 in War Bonds in the name of the Co-op. The Co-op Board is under the Board of Control, but works independently of it. Thirty-five, ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 36 ---------- Editor Lorraine McConnell Business Manager Harriett Clow THE KLIPSUN With a staff even smaller, and with more difficulties than last year, the second wartime Klipsun came off the press May 31. Defense plants, assembly lines, and the home front are the themes carried out this year. The teachers are the foremen and the clubs and various organizations are sym-bolized as unions. The six staff members worked faithfully all winter quarter mounting pictures. They had a tough time, but were thankful for their one great blessing-a gallon of rubber cement, the last one in creation. Thanks to that they somehow put up with the shortages of flash-bulbs, films, and available photographers. After spending most of their spring vacation writing copy, they met the deadline.

Lucille Bovee supervised the writing of the copy, while Peggy Custer gathered most of the information. Marilyn Anderson helped to mount the pictures for the en-gravers. Harriett Clow, as business manager, wrestled with the budget and got all the necessities out of it. Last, but not least, Lorraine McConnell, editor, worked with all of them to help make this, the 1944, second wartime Klipsun, possible.

Under their sponsorship, the annual Kid Party helped to acquaint freshmen women. A tea was given for Governor Langlie on his visit to the college, and the Mardi Gras was sponsored to raise money for WWCollegians to be sent to servicemen. AWS rendered an important service in Feb-ruary when they sponsored entertainment for 100 high school girls meeting in Bellingham for a Girl Reserve conference. The traditional stu-dent teas were continued during the year. ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 41 ---------- Top Picture: Moldrem, Gilday Inset: Stuart Moldrem Chairman "Cupie" Clement and Don Neal at the Pep Rally Bottom Picture: Foster, Witt, President, Winter and Spring NORSEMEN MR.

This club meets twice a month during the noon hour and two evenings a week in the Edens hall club room. CCF carried out its agenda by sponsoring one of the first teas of fall quarter, by having a luncheon in the winter quarter which was open to the faculty and students, and by gathering at cozy fireside meetings. The year was ended with an all-school week-end conference at Lake Whatcom. Thurman, H.

T. 159 down the ways at the Northwestern Shipbuilding Company, Saturday, November 20, at ceremonies which highlighted the "Victory" theme of this year's Home Front Week-end. Marie Eines, Queen Sigrid VI, and her court of princesses, reigned over all of the week-end events which began with the first per-formance of "Brief Music," the penthouse play, in the Edens Hall blue room, Friday night. The luncheon in the Edens Hall dining room Saturday noon further emphasized the Victory theme by decorations and by the program which featured a broadcast of the launching ceremonies. Climaxing the week-end, WWC students and faculty, the alumni and their friends danced to Doc Chase's music at the annual Home Front Week-End dance in the Physical Education building Saturday night. In spite of the war, the alumni and grads who came back helped make this traditional week-end what it always has been-a friendly re-uniting of old and new students at their college on the hill. Marie Eines and Declan Barron in the receiving line, Homecoming Dance Forty-eight ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 49 ---------- BRIEF MUSIC "Brief Music," the gala three-act comedy, which first held the limelight in fall quarter, proved to be a star in the entertainment field. This exacting portrayal of college, vividly presented by an all-girl cast, won loud acclaim for its vivacity and charm. At the initial opening of the new Bellingham Theater Guild Playhouse, "Brief Music" was the opening attraction, and was also presented to the Girl Reserves the closing night of their conference. Forty-nine ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 50 ---------- MINSTREL SHOW A scintillating cake-walk up the aisle of the college auditorium opened the min-strel show, presented by the freshman class, which successfully brought to a close the fall social season at WWC. Starting with the catchy number "Mandy," the Darktown Minstrels strut-ted their stuff with an ensemble, Declan Barron acting as the traditional interloc-utor, and with an added feature, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," presented by an all-fac-ulty cast. The show ended on a patriotic note, with all participants singing "Its a Grand Old Flag." Fifty ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 51 ---------- CAMPUS DAY May 10! Campus Day was here at last, and though the annual trek to Lake-wood was impossible, an expectant group left the campus for Whatcom Falls Park, under the leadership of Don Eldridge. The morning of May 10 was begun with skits presented in the assembly by clubs and classes. After the success of the skits everyone was in a picnic mood for the activities of the day. The group returned to the campus for an e'ening of entertainment in the Student Lounge. Following custom, 1943 Campus Day is pictured here.

Those enjoying the music and dance were staff members from the county high schools, invited patrons and patronesses, parents of the princess candidates and college students with their guests. Early in the winter quarter 2 I1 girls were chosen by the Norsemen Club in the pre- liminary judging for the princess contest. Later the ten finalists were chosen by Mrs. J. N. Gilbert, local artist; Mr. Ben Sefrit, Herald photographer, and Jack Van de Weter-ing, high school photographer. Individual portraits of these girls were sent to Whidby Island, where a committee of Navy men chose Amy Jean Allen, a freshman from Wood-lands, as the most photogenic girl of WWC. She was crowned at the prom by Ensign Bill Hatch, former ASB president. The committee worked smoothly, despite wartime scarcities and restrictions, un-der the direction of L. McConnell, Klipsun editor; Pat Scott, WWCollegian editor, and Mrs Burnet, publcations adviser.

After his address in the auditorium, Governor Langlie adjourned to the faculty room, where he met the members of the faculty and student body. Following +he re-ception the Associated Women Students served tea in their lounge across the hall. Governor Langlie was accompanied on a tour of the campus and the new train-ing school by several faculty members. Fifty-four ----------- Klipsun, 1944 - Page 55 ---------- THE STUDENT LOUNGE The new Student Lounge proved this year to be the center of all school activities. Starting with the fall AWS kid party, the lounge from then on was the accepted meet-ing place for students between I I and 4:30 o'clock. Ping-pong, dancing, and gin rummy were the main forms of entertainment, but there was always something else doing besides. The freshman class bought and paid for a nickelodeon, the only addition in furniture this year, with the proceeds from their minstrel show. Jean Borchardt supervised the lounge fall quarter, and Bob dePastel winter and spring quarters. Valkyrie club members volunteered to take charge when the student manager couldn't be there.

At the initial workout, Coach Lappenbusch found two lettermen, three veterans from last year's five and a host of promising material. Using the lettermen, Captain Ernie Ludwick and Larrie Munizza, as a foundation, the WWC mentor quickly whipped a formidable squad well coached in the usual fine style of the Lappenbusch regime. With veterans Roy Wark, Jim Gilday, Harold Moe, Paul Foster, Herb Witt and Lowell Doud and the promising freshmen candidates Clarie Marshall, Gene Sivertson, Bob Ross, Chuck Pomeroy, Ed Olson, Jerry Pells and Dale Burklund, the Blue and White was ready to take on all comers, including the University of Washington Huskies. In these clashes, the Viks really showed the ability that was theirs as they came close to toppling the vaunted Huskies. In the first clash the Huskies were outplayed and were surprised to find themselves up against a team that wouldn't give up. Coming from behind in the second half from a two-point deficit, the Lappenbusch team drove Washington until with a minute and 30 seconds left to play the score read 35 to 35. In the closing half minute the greater height and experience of the Huskies drove them to a 38 to 35 victory. In Seattle, the Vikings took the initiative and played hard to a 20 to 12 half-time lead over the Huskies. In the last period the Viking force had to succumb to greater height and stronger reserves. Again it was only a three-point margin for the University, 31 to 28, but a decided moral victory for the Blue and White.

During both the fall and winter quarters an initiation tea was held for new members, during which they signed the membership scroll. Turnouts were staged in hockey, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and baseball. During winter quarter bowling was sponsored by the club.
