CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER MAY, 1908 LITERARY DEPARTMENT. (By Inez Wynn, A. D. Foster.) HOME HAPPENINGS IN THE LIFE OF A NORMAL STUDENT. An entertainment of high dramatic talent having been given by the Thespian Dramatic Club of the B. S. N. S., the members of that august body assembled the following day at Students' Hour to listen to the report of the committee on finances. "Has anyone seen Leon Cory this morning'f " asked Fred Reymer, the president, as he arose to preside. "Yes," piped up a female voice, " I saw him just now in the lower hall. He was very busy talking to a young lady." "Since he is chairman of this committee, we cannot proceed until he comes," observed the president. Just then they were startled by the voice of a messenger asking if Mr. Hallam was there. Yes, he was, and after a hasty perusal of the message handed him, announced that he had been called away unexpectedly and as treasurer of the club he would leave the money in charge of the president until his return, and was gone. Just as the last gong sounded, Mr. Cory, smiling and breathless, appeared on the scene with the announcement that $50 had been cleared the night before. The money was forthwith deposited in the hands of the president, much against that gentleman's will, for had he not had cause to suspect of late that Hallam had been using underhand methods in regard to him? Any person interested in Mr. Reymer's wel: fare might well have had cause for anxiety had he seen him, with wild eyes and disheveled hair, rush madly from the Normal steps that evening, or heard his muttered words as he turned up the street toward his room and spied ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger pretty, blue-eyed Dorothy Cook strolling arm in arm with a strange young gentleman. For weeks past he had caught himself at times reading whole pages of psychology without knowing one word of what it contained— only vaguely conscious of having feasted his eyes on the bewitching features of this fair damsel instead. He had lingered to talk with her in the halls; he had walked to luncheon with her at noon; he had managed to be on hand to carry her books home in the evening, and who would conjecture that his eyes had not often conveyed fair speechless messages as a tribute to that indefinable something about her that made her of more interest to him than all the other girls of the Normal put together? " 0 , 1 say, Old Fellow!" burst out the cheerful voice of Harvey Smith, as he slammed a book down on Fred's table that evening after supper, "I'm having a deuce of a time with that outline we have to write for Miss Sperry. Can't you help me out?" "Hang you, no! Don't mention English to me, on pain of your life!" came in a spasmodic gulp from a corner of the room. "Why, er-r-r, what's the matter? You look as if you had seen a ghost!" (Harve had only now caught sight of his friend's face.) "Ugh! Seen a ghost, indeed!! I wish to goodness nothing worse had happened!" "Well, what has happened, anyway! Come, let's have i t ." "Harve, that $50 Hallam left in my charge; has been stolen!" " I t has?" Harve gave a prolonged whistle. "Are you quite sure that you have not mislaid it somewhere instead?" "Never was more sure of anything in my life. It was taken from a shelf in the cloakroom, where I happened to leave it for a few minutes this evening." "Have you told anyone about i t ?" "Not a soul but you, and don't intend t o !" "But why not?" asked Harve, with bulging «yes. "Don't you see that that would put me in ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 Hallam's power? You know the way he has been acting toward me of late, and somehow I feel that he is mixed up in this affair. I never liked the fellow. I must manage someway to get the money before he returns and let no one be the wiser. Set your wits to working, old fellow, and help me out.'' " I see you are right. We must devise some means," said Harve. "Let's see; have you any friends in town of whom you might borrow it ?" "No, not one." "How about your father; couldn't you send to him for i t ?" '' Impossible! You don't know father.'' "Then isn't there a rich old maid in town whom you might win?" '' Nonsense!'' Many other ways and means were suggested before the two friends parted, late in the night, but none gave satisfaction. Neither did Fred mention that other matter that had played such an important part in the conflicting emotions with which he was torn, but strangely enough it was not the stolen money alone that made that night seem a hideous nightmare. As Fred strolled down Happy Valley the evening following he was watched by two faces at different windows. One was the face of Dorothy Cook. "Why has Fred avoided me today and acted so strangely?" she mused. "It is not like him. Harve said it was on account of that grammar test, but I don't believe him. I wanted him to meet Cousin Frank before he leaves; but I shall never ask him up when he is in such a temper." The other was the face of a lady of very unquestionable age. She was rich. She had no one to care for but herself. She was very fond of Mr. Reymer, and, as she watched him pass her window, the thot occurred to her: "This is Leap Year. What's to stop me?" Strangely enough she was out for an evening stroll when Mr. Reymer returned, and encountered him with a sweet "Good evening." Possibly Fred himself could not have told yon how he came to spend that evening at her ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger home, or how it was that he was an engaged man before he left, but such was the case. It was all arranged, even to the wedding, which was to take place soon. Of course it would be kept quiet till the end of the year. In the meantime he should have all the money he wished. Harvey had to be taken into his friend's confidence, but he wondered much at his friend's changed philosophy, and how he could so soon tire of such a girl as Dorothy. One evening he happened across these verses on Fred's table, and they set him to wondering: "Why should a man his chances lose, Of gaining a fortune if he choose To take with the gift the giver fair, Tho' twice his age and silvered hair? That man's a fool who thinks that for him There's only one girl in this world to win. Than court a pretty, senseless, prue. The greatest man in the world of art Has set us a pace in the choice of his heart. And who can say that this older dame Helped not to decide his future fame?" Could Fred really mean this, or was he only trying to justify himself? When Hallam returned the money was handed over to him. But what made him act so strangely at the time, I wonder? There were also some strange rumors afloat to the effect that Fred and Dorothy had quarreled. "Oh, dear," sighed a lady member of the faculty, "those foolish children." A fortnight later the battleships California and Tennessee left port and the next day the papers stated that Frey Reymer, the most promising boy in the Normal school, had sailed with them, which was very true. But only Harvey knew the particulars. A letter to him ran thus: Dear Harve : As you know, I was to wed a certain lady this evening. But I have turned coward, as you see, and will not be on hand. I know it is a beastly thing to do, but don't blame me too much, and don't under any consideration ever put yourself in the same position. I may never ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 see you again, but, believe me, I shall attempt to mend my ways and never again stoop to so low a thing. Yours Ever, FBED. Four years later Mr. Goodell in a visiting address to the Normal school, described his travels thru Australia and mentioned having seen Mr. Fred Eeymer. He stated that he was an educator of some importance there; also that he had been recently married and seemed very happy; that the fortunate girl was Dorothy Cook, who had gone there to teach and accidentally came across her old friend Reymer* The renewal of their acquaintance in this far away country had ended thus. A STUDENT. FOND RECOLLECTIONS. They present to view many pleasant scenes. They bring together associations never found elsewhere. The varicolored lights and the changing shades they throw upon our lives enoble and quicken. Were thoughts unchaste, were spirits low; or, were they simple, pure— kaleidescopically they come forth changed or made more simple and true. Those wee small hours of the morning, when senior classmates tranuilly slept—how often were they tossed restlessly by underclassmates. endeavoring to outwit and overstep their fellows advanced in years. The long, tedious tasks, often set to try the patience or keep down youthful spirits; wanderings afar through northern jungles in search for some new genus in animal or vegetable life; hours drinking deep the effulgence of Luna's magic; practices many and wondrous; songs, jests, and smiles—aye, perchance a frown—these are but settings in the presentment of life at Belling-ham Normal. B. M. ANSLOW, Class of '07. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger PRAISEWORTHY FEATURES OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL. The decided improvement in the grade schools of the present over the older system is worthy of much commendation. We wish to take up a few of the advanced features of the training department of the Normal, not as a model department altogether, but as a progressive grade school, one that is adopting all improvements that seem in keeping with the present advance in education. A few years ago all that was considered a requisite for the boy in the grades was a fairly good knowledge of the subject matter in four or five text books. His social life was left to take care of itself, his training for citizenship was not considered; his special ability in ay one line was left undeveloped. Now we are inclined to treat boys and girls as men and women, and it is generally conceded that if a boy is placed on his honor and given the privileges of men he will use them as men do. When you find a child that is dissatisfied with the school there are just three sources to which his dissatisfaction may be pointed. There is something wrong with the school, the teacher or the child. The conditions of the training school are such as to reduce such discontent to a minimum and to offer something that will appeal to a child of the most eccentric nature. The regular course in the grades has a variation both in subject matter and varied exercises for general development. A short course in plane geometry and physics, the latter largely experimental, is given. These subjects will be an incentive to higher education to many boys that would otherwise drop out of school on the completion of the grades. Very good work is done in drawing and manual training. Some of the boys have constructed useful articles of furniture that are worthy of anyone's praise. Some of the natural taelnt, that has been displayed by the students, has taken the form of inventions. Arthur Hook invented a machine for a moving electric sign, which works perfectly; Edric 'Walling made an arc light by use of pieces of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 carbon; Ray Martin arranged a wireless telegraph by which he communicates for a short distance. Besides this social and business responsibility is aimed at as a part of the natural development of the child. Social organization exists among the higher grades for the purpose of physical, mental and moral development, and to foster democratic sentiment. Through the ingenuity of the higher grade students, a unique fair was held in the gymnasium in November, at which almost one hundred dollars were made. With this fund these grades have been supplied with numerous conveniences that every industrious school could have. The idea of doing things has thus been inculcated in the minds of these students and it becomes clear that they may act now instead of deferring all action or responsibility to the future. We hear some objection to the training school, that it is a place where children are practiced on by novices. This variety of teachers gives a broader understanding of the different phases of the same subject and a greater acquaintance with the different characters among people than is received in the grades of most city schools. This benefit extends to the teacher as well as to the pupil, and the wideawake teacher will be able to leave the training school with much reserve power that may well be applied in even the best of graded schools. A. D. FOSTER. THE DEVIL'S GARDEN. (By S. Johnson.) When I was but a small boy my parents took me for a ride across the Devil's Garden. The Devil's Garden is a vast expanse of elevated ground, bordered on the north, the east and the south by lofty mountains, and on the west by a broad, fertile valley. We rode in an open carriage, and upon emerging from a forest of gigantic pines, through which everyone must pass who would enter the garden, the prospect that greeted my eyes was that of an endless waste of lava-flow ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger and boulders, boulders so large that at a great distance the Deril's Garden looked like a mighty legendary city of gigantic castles built of stone. One of these mimic castles in particular, rising high above the rest, with a grove of juniper trees (the only living thing that could muster courage to inhabit this desolate region) at its foot, and the burning sun surrounding it with a halo of fire, reminded my childish fancy of the castle of the sleeping beauty. I even declared that when I grew up I would don a magic armor and do over again what the gallant knight did in the times of mythology. But as we drove on the scene remained ever the same, and the burning sun became ungrateful, so that my heart was filled with a deeper gladness upon reaching the green valley below, where the winding river and the waving sycamores presented an ever changing and refreshing beauty. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page [9] ---------- B ELLIN CHAM STATE NORMAL AS IT APPEARS TODAY ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger THE NORMAL MESSENG R Published Monthly by the Students of THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Press S.

There is at present a movement on foot to perfect an organization of the student body. A committee of students has been appointed to confer with a committee appointed from the faculty and to draw up plans for such an organization. This movement should be looked upon with the greatest of favor by the student body. It marks the greatest stride toward advancement yet taken by students of this institution. Such an organization would bring, to a great extent, the much needed quality of school loyalty and school spirit. It would bring the students into closer relation with each other, give them common interests, and develop a kindred spirit which should exist. It is not known as yet what action these committees will take, but it is thought a tax of 50c a semester will be collected from each student. With this annual income many things could be done. It has long been felt that the printing space of the Messenger is too limited. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 With this additional capital the space could be doubled. Those two long-coveted asphalt tennis courts could be built. A bookstore could be run, selling school supplies to the students at cost. Boats could be placed upon Lake Whatcom for the use of the students. Necessary-funds to send teams to compete in athletic meets could be raised. And so we might go on enumerating the things that could be done. The perfecting of such an organization means great things for the students, the faculty and the school. Miss Irma Whittier was the winner in the prize story contest. The story appears upon the first pages of this paper. And we should like to see Miss Whittier develop more fully the talent she displays. The next issue of the Messenger will be edited by the Senior class. This will give the regular staff a chance to rest and the Seniors a chance to display their knowledge. ALUMNI. (By Clara Tarte.) Mr. Harry Raymond, '05, has recently returned from New York, where he has spent a , pleasant and successful winter in the study of music. Miss Florence Griffith, '00, a member of the first graduating class in 1900, is now in Nebraska, representing a publishing house of that state. Her sister, Mabel, a student of the Normal for a few months in 1906, is with her in the same position. Both girls are enjoying their work, and are very successful. The students and faculty will be grieved to near of the deaths of Mr. Cecil Spurling and Mr. Frank Scannell. Miss Ida McMillian, '02, is now Mrs. W. A. Hitchcock, of Ellensburg, Wash. Miss Edith Fouts, '01, has lately returned from the East, where she has been successfully studying music. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 May - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Miss Anna Iverson is teaching at StanwoocL Mrs. Effie Bear Knapp, '03, and her husband are attending the State College at Pullman.

Miss Bessie Service, '04, has moved to Oregon to live. Mr. Guy Allison, '07, is improved in health and is continuing with his teaching. He i planning a visit this summer to his home in Kirksville, Missouri. Miss Ada Meyers, '07, and her sister Eva are both teaching in their home town, Shelton, and still take a great interest in basket ball, both playing in the Shelton team. LOCALS. (By Helen Linden, Louise Walker.) OUR MERRY WIDOWS Mr. H. G. Lull, of U. of W., was a visitor at Normal for a few days recently. The Senior girls at Edens' Hall are proud of the fact that they have a table all to themselves. On the 16th of May the finals of the triangle declamatory and oratorical contest will be held at Ellensburg. Miss Clara Tarte will represent the school in declamation and either Mr. "Will Bowman or Noah Davenport in oratory. Mr. A. P. Romine has a leave of absence for the coming year.

Mrs. Nettleton presented a college play "The Man in the Case," Friday, May 2. The cast was chosen from the Oral Expression department, assisted by one member of the faculty. A great deal of credit is due the cast for the manner in which the play was given. Quite a neat little sum was realized. This is to be used to make a present to the school. Mr. Forrest spoke at the Schoolmasters' Club May 2, in Seattle. The Senior class will publish the next issue of the Messenger. A habit young Fiedler possessed which was bad.
