Vol. X. • November, 1910 No. 2 HUM fc?SS» The Messenger is ready again for your inspection. We hope-that it will be a source of pride to you as a school for we are surely trying to make it worthy of your commendation. This paper is a student publication "of the students, for the students and by the students." It's our paper to be proud of or ashamed of—ours to read, talk about, laugh over, and contribute to. And it's ours to encourage and support,—'' to make or mar.'' And so let us "make" it by standing by each other nobly and our success as a School paper will be assured. Have you bought your Lecture Course ticket yet? "Well, hurry up! We wonder if you appreciate the pleasure in store for you. We who heard last year's talent are certainly anticipating much from this season's attractions. We were so delighted with Madame Langendorff, that we are more than anxious to hear her again. And there are others on the Lecture Course this year, equally good in their lines of work: Judge Lindsay, Hubbard of ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 2 ---------- 2 TEE MESSENGER the Chicago Tribune, Champ Clarke, and Mrs. Davenport-Eng-berg. We extead to the Commitlee our highest appreciation for their care and good judgment in securing these artists and promise our most loj^al support. • We hear that the Football boys are having financial troubles. This is partly due to the fact that we haven't turned out as we should to the games. It comes back to that old question of School spirit which Ave so painfully lack ;—that same spirit which prompts us to discourage the Students' Association and forget to subscribe to The Messenger. Let's plan some way to help the Football boys, for they need it and i t ' s our duty and pleasure to help them. We are glad to see the bulletin board adorned with Basketball practice notices. The teams are responding to the call of their Classes enthusiastically. Who is going to win the Kline Cup is the burning question of the hour. • The thanks of the Staff are extended to those who helped us in last month's publication, especially to those who aided us by criticism. If this issue is better than last—we hope it is—it is due to you who have given words of encouragement. Please do not be afraid of hurting our feelings, for it is in Ihe interests of the paper Ave are working and Avill Avelcomc criticism favorable or unfavorable that will tend to the betterment of the paper. Almost vacation time. Normalites! IIOAV gladly we Avill welcome a feAV days' cessation from our School cares. Home, and the home folk, a little rest,—and the Thanksgiving turkey will send us back renewed and strengthened for better Avork. • • • THE NERVOUS CHILD.

Manual, the captain-elect of next year's foot-ball team; Meacham, Ellery and Pilling sat in their den in the Beta Kappa fraternity, at the University of M. , talking over the prospects of a championship football team for the coming year. Every position on the team could be filled with a capable, experienced man, excepting that of center. This position could not be definitely filled, because of the opportunity there might be of developing a better candidate out of the raw material that would graduate from the High Schools of the State and enter the University the following year. In the meantime if. during their Summer vacation, they should meet some big, husky young man who seemed promising as a football player, it would be advisable, they thought, to persuade him to enter the University and try out for the Eleven. At last their year of hard, grinding study at college was over. Manual went to the city to assist in his father's business. Meacham went to the mountains of the West. Ellery and Pilling betook themselves to the country, to bask in the sunshine and to assist with the work on the farms. They corresponded with each other and, among other incidents, narrated Summer experiences. Pilling reported to his captain that he had found a very likely candidate for the position of center, in the shape of a big, tow-headed fellow,—Storberg by name,—who tipped the scales at one hundred ninety-seven pounds when in good condition. Manuel decided to come down, to look him over and question him concerning his plans for the future. Storberg had played a star game as center during the season passed on his High School eleven. After considerable weighing of the opportunity, he decided to enter the University of M. , and try-out for the Eleven. He was coached on some points of college life by Pilling, who, from past experiences, realized the struggle a new man at college has in getting settled properly into the swing of college life. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE MESSENGER The vacation days came quickly to an end, and the prospective candidates for the football squad were urged to register early to be on hand for the first practice. Each train brought bright young men to dabble in books and study athletics, and young maidens to learn how to blush most becomingly and how to curl their hair after the latest approved fashion. Nearly all the former squad were present, among the new men being Storberg, who found the environment of the University novel, and a considerable contrast with that of his country home. His great physique was admired by the boys, and his shock of tow-colored hair was commented upon daily by the co-eds. The coach issued orders for all men who expected to try for the Eleven to turn out in suits this afternoon. There were present at the turn-out, long and short, lean and sleek, tow-haired and red-haired,—all the shapes, styles and sizes that go to make up the sterner sex. Some were pugnacious-looking fellows,—others a little more meek in appearance. Out of this conglomeration of a typical college football squad were to be developed, disciplined and coached, eleven strong-limbed, mighty-muscled, cool-headed, young men, to endure the grind and toil of the gridiron in honor of their University against the other Universities of the conference, that were trying equally as hard to overcome the odds and turn out a winning team. Storberg did not have clear sailing in toil for the position. There was present a young man from a different part of the State, who had as good a record, but in weight and development didn't equal Storberg's physical build. After long deliberation, the coach and officials decided to let Storberg play the position at center, and use this other man as a substitute, because of Storberg's seemingly superior ability to plunge through the opposing line and break up the plays. After a few weeks of toil in practice, they met the University of C's Eleven in the first game of the season. The side-lines and yard-lines on Northrup Field, soon to become the scene of battle between two human machines of bone and sinew, lay in their staring whiteness. The grand-stands at each end and side of the field were filled to overflowing with spectators and rooters of the respective Elevens. The yell-leaders were each coaching his band as to how to render with the most appropriate solemnity the yells and songs for the occasion. The megaphones, in the hands of enthusiastic rooters, gave vent to deep-voiced, touching exclamations of praise or disgust. Pennants and colors were in great evidence. The teams were lined up for play. The University of C's ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER b Eleven had the kick-off. The air vibrated with the yells of the rooters. M. had the ball, and by the brilliant line plunges of her back-field, gradually forged her way close to the goal line, but C 's men were giants of mould and mettle, so M. lost the ball on the third down. The directions of the coaches were followed to the limit, but the first, half closed with neither side having scored and C's. ball within two yards of her own goal. The rooters again resumed their everlasting din between halves, vieing with each other in rooting for the individual members of their team. Time was up and the second half begun with M at the kick-off. Smith, of C s. team, received the ball and carried it back in a sensational run to M : ' s forty-five yard line. Ralston of C then took the ball and was endeavoring to circle around left end, when Storberg. by a plunge through the line, got the ball by forcing it out of his grasp and made a dash for the goal. On and on he sped, the rooters yelling "touchdown!"—a mass at his heels trying to overtake him. Every muscle was tense; every eye riveted on the fleeing figure of red and gray. lie reached the thirty- five yard line; one man stood in his way. It was C 's quarterback. Storberg sped on, coming nearer and nearer to his opponent. His man was crouching for the tackle, when with a dodging side-stepping trick. Storberg passed him and had a clear field for the goal. On and on he sprinted. To cross that single line of white, with the ball, was the object of his flight. Nearer and nearer he drew. The rooters yelled, "Touch-down!" drowning out the official's whistle. Meacham kicked goal, and the score stood 6 to 0, in favor of M , with twenty minutes left to play, and bedlam reigning in M 's grand-stand. Only a few minutes were left in which to play. C. had the ball and was on M 's five-yard line. The rooters yelled, "Stone-Wall!" The very air seemed tense with suppressed excitement. The ball was passed to full-back on the first down; but Storberg, by a heaving, plunging motion of his herculean frame, broke through and tackled him. The referee called ' ' Second down and five yards to gain." Left half then took the ball for a plunge through right tackle, but was downed. "Third down and one yard to gain. '' Stone-Wall,'' was the word hurled across the sidelines through the megaphones. The ball was passed; full-back took it and in one mighty effort endeavored to plunge through right-guard,—but Storberg was there, N. W. A.,'12. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 THE MESSENGER THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY. O, I love the mountain valley Filled with thrills of chirping birds; On every tree they rally In little fluttering herds. O, I love its trees and flowers, Tall pines, forget-me-nots,— Its rills and leafy bowers Entwined by tangled nots. I love to pluck the flowerettes That grow beside the stream; On little grassy jetts I love to sit and dream. O, the echoes of the valley, From hill to hill rebound And fill the mountain valley With sweet and gladsome sound. BERTRAM'S TALE. lu the-engine-room of a mill were a few men, seeking shelter from the falling trees of the forest. Among them was an old Indian named Bertram, who was fond of telling about the country as it was before the white man took possession. The wind did not abate and, while the men waited they started to " s w a p " stories. Soon it was the old Indian's turn, and this is what he told: " I t was in the good old days, before the mills were so thick in this section. I started out from the cabin, telling my squaw to cook what she had for dinner, as I did not think I would shoot anything that morning. I walked down the hill, at the foot of which was the entrance to the forest. I had taken my gun, in case I should have a chance to get some fresh meat which we needed. Walking aimlessly through the woods, I came to Bertram Creek, and, glancing across, saw a deer in front of a large fir tree. Raising my gun, I aimed and fired, but the deer never moved, so, without changing the position of my gun, I emptied all of the five remaining bullels into the deer. It never fell, and I began to think some one had worked a practical joke, so, rolling up the legs of my overalls. I waded over, found that my first bullet had passed through the deer's heart and into the tree. As the aim had not been changed, each bullet had passed through the heart into the tree, and the force had been such, and the aim so perfect, that there had been a leaden nail formed which reached from the heart of the deer into the tree, and held the deer in the upright position. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 "Putting the door over my shoulder, T carried it hack across the creek and, as 1 could carry it no farther, 1 decided to go home after my cart and horses. I started to unroll my overalls, when, to my surprise, fish began to fall out of the creases and, as I kept unrolling them, more fish fell out, till I had so many I couldn'i possibly have carried home my load. So, leaving !he Pish and deer near the trail, I went home, and soon came back with the horses and cart. "The roads were only trails then and the horses were hitched tandem style, with raw-hide harness, and a cart just wide enough to get through the trail. I rode the front horse and trusted that the second horse and the cart would get through all right. " I got off the horse and loaded the deer and fish into the cart, then, getting back on the horse, I started for home. When I reached the foot of the hill that I had to climb to reach the cabin, it started to rain. Looking back to see if I still had ray load, I started up the hill. It kept raining harder and harder, bu! I kept right on. When I reached the door, I jumped off the horse and, looking back, saw the cart sitting at the bottom of the hill, with the harness still hitched to ii, but the horses were at the door. When it started to rain the raw-hide had become wet, the harness had stretched and, the cart having such a load, had stayed at the bottom of the hill." The old Indian, when asked what he did then, said : "I just took the straps off the horses and hung them on a stump, put the horses in the barn and went in the house. Pretty soon it stopped raining, the sun came out and, as She harness dried, the cart came toward the cabin. When it reached the door I unloaded the stuff, and we had fresh deer meat for dinner and spring trout for supp e r . " RILLABALL, '11. • • • VACATION EXPERIENCES. Some writer has told the story of a man who, while making a trip in foreign lands, thought much of the pleasure he would give his friends by telling them of his experiences. But when he reached home, he found his friends so much engrossed in their own affairs that they would not hear him. So, finally, he hired a man by the hour to sit quietly and listen to him. Having no money left to employ a paid listener, and fearing that my friends might not take any too willingly to the martyr's role, I have said little since my return about my vacation experiences. What longings have filled my heart, however, for someone to whom I dared say, ' ' That reminds me of when I was down at "; or, "You will be interested in hearing " etc., I shall ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 THE MESSENGER not confess; nor shall I record here the feelings with which I heard the Editor say to-day, "Will you please write about your vacation experiences for The Messenger?" Long ago,—that is to say, some time ago.—I was taught, while undergoing an initiation into the mysteries of the English composition that one of the secrets of good style is to leave something for the imagination of the reader. Dear Reader, if any such there be, you have here something to work upon. A writer, whom I hesitate to mention in student circles, won immortal renown by describing one of his trips in the classic, "I came, I saw. I conquered." A modern and recently adopted American, has perpetuated his name unto the ages by reporting his railroad experiences as, "Off ag'in, on ag'in, gone ag'in, Flan-nigan." My own story might be condensed into, " I went, I stayed a-while, I came back." were it not for the feeling that possibly my remuneration for these services may be measured by the Rooseveltian standard of one dollar the word, in which case silence would not be golden, nor brevity the soul of wisdom. In justice to all concerned, however, it should be said that the Editor has laid no restrictions upon me; not even saying, as one editor has been quoted as replying to a reporter's request for instructions: "Tell the truth, this ain't no lion business." Lacking such instructions, I am able to give the reader's imagination a second helping. My vacation experiences were embraced within the limits of a trip to Southern California and back as 1o space, and from the eighteenth of June to the twenty-third of August as to time. Once upon a time, when a man with seventeen children, tried to negotiate with a showman for the privilege of taking the family in to see the elephant, the showman, with a keen appreciation of the fitness of things, said: "Hold on! I'll bring the elephant out to see the family!'' My entire family accompanied me on the trip, yet its size is such that I am confident of my right to say that "we" went to see California. The experience was an interesting one to me, because it was the realization of a childhood's dream. Growing up in an interior state, with no more of travel than falls to the lot of the average farmer boy in a family which has a fixed habitation; yet with the opportunity to gratify to some extent a hunger for books and reading, I early developed a strong desire to "see California. '' Friends and neighbors "moved" occasionally to that far-off region, and one of the pleasant incidents of my vacation was renewing acquaintances at Santa Barbara and elsewhere with some of the good country neighbors and playmates of thirty years ago. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 'J One of the interesting experiences of a "newcomer" who has spent his previous years in a staid Eastern community is to realize that so large a percentage of his new neighbors, like himself, "have come from somewhere." This seems as true of California as of Washington. California, therefore, was new to me. I had never seen it before. New, also, was the mighty sweep of the Pacific westward, as its billows rolled in from their journey of 7,000 miles. But two things troubled me, somewhat. One was the fact that "the top of the map" wouldn't locate the north star and, consequently, I was somewhat mortified to find that, frequently, when I'd "look away across the sea," in the supposed direction of the Orient, I'd see some decidedly American hills in view. The other annoying thing was the unlearning of the etmological lesson of long ago, that pax, pacis, pacific, signifies "peace." On neither voyage, up nor down, were we troubled by a violent storm, but "upheavals" were sufficient to lead us to believe that Neptune has in the Pacific no ground for complaint. And after a novice has had pointed out to him the scenes of the tragedies of the ill-fated Valencia and the Rio Janeiro, he listens with interest, when, in the darkness of the night, he is roused from sleep by the solemn and frequent sounding of the fog-horn. One of the most interesting features of a trip to Europe, or even to New England, is the opportunity to visit literary shrines; the places immortalized by the residence of the great makers of literature or its great characters. No less surely has the world-famed harbor of San Francisco, with its '' Golden Gate,'' obtained a place in the imagination of man. Few ships enter the Bay of San Francisco, and few leave, whose passengers do not throag the decks to catch a first or last glimpse of that charming ensemble of water and land, of hill and sand-dune, of cliff and dashing wave, of houses and groves, of smokestack and Mission cross. A few ask in disappointment, "Where is the gate?" but to the majority the view is one of the most charming in any land. The stranger's interest, however, does not die with his entrance into the great harbor. San Francisco herself, the apparently helpless plaything of the giant forces of earth, of the devouring flames and of that human vulture, the spoilsman, proves none the less absorbing. San Franciscans shun all mention of "the quake." They feel the humiliation of their graft exposures and condonement trials. But as they watch the tourist's wonder grow as he begins to comprehend the stupendous building operations of the last four years, they warm with pride over '' the fire." There are a few places, however, where "the quake" comes in for its deserts. Out at Palo Alto, the seat of the great ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 THE MESSENGER Leland Stanford, Jr., University, in the cracked walls, fallen arches and demolished Memorial Church bear mute testimony to the great architectural tragedy. The Puget Sound country endeavors to appropriate the phrase, "playground of America," and in scenic features none dares dispute her claim. But she lacks the warm sun and warm sea waters which enable Southern California to contest her title- That wonderful city, Los Angeles, is some twenty miles from the seashore, but when her hundreds of thousands of people, and the ever-present, ever-changing tourist army, afternoons, evenings, Sundays, Saturdays and holidays, flock to the miles and miles of neighboring beaches, one feels that here is a region cosmopolitan, a meeting-place of the nations, a play-ground for the world. The Eastern tourist, after traversing the hot, dusty plains of Nevada or Arizona, is delighted with the occasional areas ot green, the groves of orange, lemon and peach. But to the traveller from the North, the one whose eyes are accustomed to look upon the restful, refreshing foliage of the Evergreen State, California, in the summer season at leas!, is disappointing. And thus, while he may bear away pleasant memories of generous hospitality of citizens, high admiration of constructive enterprise, restful and yet invigorating contact with warm waters under sunny skies, refreshing alternatives of green groves with brown or barren wastes, he comes back to the land of the towering fir and the matchless rhododendron, of snow-capped peaks and mirror lakes; of dashing streams, gem-decked bays and unequalled sunsets, thankful for the opportunity of living amid such scenes and thus, through rest of body and peace of mind, blessed by his vacation experiences. FEANK DEERWESTER. *•* *•* *•* NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. At the recent meeting of the National Educational Association, in Boston, those having the meeting in charge advertised Boston as a most fitting place for the teachers of the country to gather together. I heard a lady from Philadelphia object to this statement which, by the way, many of the speakers used to introduce their speeches, saying that Boston was not the center of learning, and that her historical and educational advantages were not greater than those of many other cities, mentioning Philadelphia as an example. Be that as it may, the teachers of Boston made these old historic spots very attractive to her visitors. It's about some of ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 11 ---------- THE MESSENGER 11 the things they did for us I am going to write, rather than about the real work of the convention. I just want to say in passing that the most noteworthy feature of the Association, was the election of Mrs. Ella Fiagg Young as its president. The Fourth of July celebration was planned with reference to visiting teachers. There were two attractive features. In the morning there was a parade of the school children of Boston. They had worked out the periods of United States history in floats, some of which were very unique. In the afternoon was President Taft's address at the Harvard Stadium. He began his address by saying he was delighted to see us, etc. There were the usual receptions, one in particular for Mrs. Young; the usual concerts and lectures. They planned walking parties to visit the old landmarks in the city. These were very delightful, in spite of the heat. Our party was very fortunate to have for a guide the President of the Historical Society, who is a Boston teacher and a thoroughly delightful woman. These parties were all conducted by teachers from the Boston schools. These trips included visits to the old burying grounds. There are three of these: King's Chapel burying grounds is the oldest; was established about the time of the settlement, and contains tombs of many Colonial families. The Granary contains tombs dating from 1660. Here are found tombs and graves of Samuel Adams, James Otis. John Hancock, Paul Kevere, Peter Faneuil and many others of distinction and interest. The Kopp's Hill was the second burial place established. It was first used for interment in 1660. The Superintendent of these grounds has written histories of the people buried there. He related very many interesting stories of them. "We also visited the famous Old South Meeting House. Those wearing the N. E. A. badge were admitted free of charge. The present building was built in 1729. The place is used as a museum of historical relics. It is owned by the Old South Preservation Committee, composed of twenty-five Boston women. We were then taken to the Old North Church or Christ's Church, as it is commonly called. We sat in a pew and cooled off while the sexton told us the history of the church. He showed us the kind of lantern which hung in the steeple on the night of Paul Revere's famous ride. The church is still used as a place of worship. We were taken to the old State House,—also the new one,— Paul Revere's home, Faneuil Hall and many other old landmarks. Then there were excursions to out-of-town points of interest. One day we went to Lexington, Concord and Sleepy Hollow. We ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 THE MESSENGER passed the homes of Emerson and Louisa M. Alcott. At Lexington our guide showed us the battle field and the position of ihe Minute Men. At Concord we lunched at a Colonial Inn, a building used hy the American forces as a store house. Here we saw the Old North Bridge, the Battleground, the graves of the British soldiers, and the statue of the Minute Men. There were other excursions to Plymouth Rock, to Salem, to Harvard College, to Elmwood, and many oilier places of historical interest. I cannot speak too highly of the courtesy and attention shown us by the teachers and citizens of Boston. M. D. SENIOE NOTES. The Senior Class of the B. S. N. S. were at home to the School and Faculty on the evening of October 22, 1910. The Senior reception has become one of the annual affairs of the School, and the present Class outdid the former Classes by their genial hospitality to Students and Faculty. The rooms in which the Class entertained were yery prettily and artistically decorated with sprays of Oregon grapes, branches of Autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. Dainty refreshments were served in Miss Hay's room, which was lighted by candles, the artistic holders of which were made by the Senior girls in the Art department. The tables were bedecked with clusters of grapes and Autumn leaves. The blackboards of the ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER 13 little sketches by Miss Tloglc. representing popular songs. In hidden nooks were found names of the Faculty in "Senior hieroglyphics." Mr. Stark and his orchestra of Normal students furnished delightful music during the evening. Miss Busby, who has recently come to the Senior Class from an Iowa Normal, rendered several charming selections. Party favors were tiny pennants of the Normal colors, with the Class number upon them. A GUEST. Miss Florence Plumb has been visiting at her home in Seattle. We are glad to report that Miss Lee Dickson is able to walk again. Miss Dickson sprained her ankle several weeks ago. Pearl Hightower spent several days at her home in Seattle this week. The Seniors "got acquainted." not only with themselves at their informal little party the first of the month, but with a couple of Juniors as well. The rest of the Junior Class was entertained by the Seniors on Schome Hill. The Seniors and Juniors, with the possible exception of two of them, enjoyed themselves immensely, and hope that another opportunity will be given them to show their commendable spirit of generosity. Out Basketball girls have begun their regular practices. Miss Abercrombie tells us that the turn-out and material promises well for the glory of the Seniors. We certainly accept Adelaide's statements when basketball is the subject in question. • HEART THROBS.

The following officers were elected : President Mr. Gubbins Vice-President Mr. Odle Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Lidell Sergeant-at-Arnis Mr. Vandermei The Class teachers are Miss Dawson and Mr. Moodic. Mr. Sloan was appointed by President as Chairman of Constitutional Committee to revise and act upon old constitution; or if necessary, to draw up a new one. In order that members of the Class might become better acquainted, it was suggested that we have a party in the near future. Miss Allen was appointed as Chairman of entertainment committee. A Committee on Class Colors was also appointed. In meeting on October 26th no report was given by Committee on Constitution. Miss Allen reported favorably for a party and Class voted on Friday, November 4th, as the most convenient time. Orange and black were closen as the Class Colors. The matter of a girls' basketball team was discussed. It was decided to let the girls who desired to play list their names on bulletin board. A number of girls responded and also a number of boys of other Classes, desiring to be conspicous, added their names to the list and some were so persistent after fame that they added their names a second time after they were scratched out the first time. • • • A FOOTBALL COURTSHIP.

The room was prettily decorated with yellow crepe paper and Autumn leaves. On the mantel were several jolly looking jack-o-lanterns. When the lights were turned low, the room, with its decorations, made a very pleasing Hallowe'en picture. The evening was spent in telling fortunes, playing games and telling weird ghost stories. Apples, doughnuts, and marshmallows, toasted before the fireplace, were enjoyed by the guests. After one last story all departed, declaring that they had enjoyed one of the most delightful of Hallowe'en parties. • • • PIIILOMATHEANS.

The football season is at its heighth now all aver the country and no little interest is being shown in this sport at the Normal. The boys are still turning out regularly for practice, and although they have been defeated in the three games they have played, yet they have put up a fine game in every case. There is no bright and shining star on the team such as we had last year, but the general line-up is far superior to that of last year. The line is strong and holds its own with any team the Normal has played this year. The forward pass which is being used a great deal this year, has not been mastered by the Normal team,, a fact that is due to insufficient time and men for practice. The boys are playing with a ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 28 ---------- 28 TEE MESSENGER class of stronger teams this year than ever before, and considering the difficulties Ihey encounter in putting out a team, they are doing remarkably well. Games with Whitworth College, Everett, and the local High are talked of, but as yet no definite schedule has been made. • • • Royal Niles, Avho was captain and star halfback of the Normal team last year, is making a great name for himself on the Whitman College eleven. In the game with the U. of W. on Oct. 27, he did great work forward passing and kicking, and executed a clever drop kick for goal within one minute after the game started. The Normal school friends of Mr. Niles are proud of the showing he is making in college football. • BROADWAY HIGH. 29; BELLINGITAM NORMAL, 0. On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Normal eleven met defeat at the hands of the fast Broadway High 1eam of Seattle. The game occurred at the local fair grounds and the gridiron was a veritable sea of mud, consequently the players were treated to a fine mud-bath, and because of a wet ball and slippery field, good playing was almost impossible. Broadway kicked off to the Normal and Brenizer got the ball and worked his way back to the center of the field before being downed. It was the longest gain made by the Normal team, for they were clearly outclassed and were placed on the defensive throughout the entire game . They put up a plucky fight, however, and were always in the game to the very last whistle. Broadway resorted to loose plays and used the forward pass successfully a number of times. They had an excellent interference, which made their end runs good ground-gainers. The result was five touchdowns, two goals and a safety for Broadway bringing their score up to 29. The Normal line-up: Odle. c.; Marshall, r. g.; Sloan, r, t.; Fritz, Krouse, r. e.; Tidball, 1. t.: Thomas, 1. e.; Copenhaver, 1. e.; Cade, Johns, q. b.; Gubbins, Cade, r. h.; East, f. b.: Brenizer, 1. h. • QUEEN ANNE HIGH, 20; NORMAL, 0. On Saturday, October 15, the Normal eleven played the Queen Anne eleven at Seattle. For the first quarter the score stood 0 to 0 in favor of the Normal, for our boys had the better of the argument. The Normal line was stronger than Queen Anne's and could pile of the line-bucks of the Seattle boys quite easily. In the second quarter Queen Anne adopted loose playing and ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 29 ---------- THE MESSENGER 29 used the forward pass. This was responsible for their end of the score, for they were more experienced in this phase of football than the Normal boys. Queen Anne made four touchdowns, but did not kick a goal. For the Normal, Krausc and Fritz, our whirlwind ends, played star games, although " S t u b " Cade at quarterback played in his usual consistent manner, and put up a brilliant defensive game. • BELLINGHAM HIGH, 11; NORMAL, 0. On October 22nd, the Normal team played their old rivals, the Bellingham High eleven. Each school was represented by a large aggregation but for some reason the Normal crowd did not do as good cheering as usual. The weather was ideal, the Normal team was in fine trim and would have won the game but for the field officials. These worthy gentlemen either never knew the rules or had forgotten them, for 1hey made a grand display of their ignorance in several important decisions; and the pecular part of it is that the High School always profited by the ignorance of the umpire and the referee. The teams were pretty well matched, although the Normal had a little best of the argument on straight line bucks. The Normal line held splendidly, and especially when the ball neared their goal. In the first quarter the High had placed the ball on the Normal's five-yard line, and then the Blue and White warriors held the line, the High thus losing the ball. The Normal then kicked out of danger. Again, later in the game, the ball was on the Normal's one-yard line, and our boys held for three downs and the High failed to carry the ball over the line. The one play in which the High excelled was a fake, in which Gaffney, their quarter-back, carried the ball in a quick plunge through the line. This was the play which they used time and again, and was the one which gave them their first score. This was in the second quarter, and their other touchdown came in the fourth quarter, after the Normal team, in an attempt to play both the High eleven and the officials, had somewhat gone to pieces. In this last quarter the game was devoid of good football playing, and was marked only by constant disputes and occasional slugging and rough work. The line-up: High— —Normal Tidball center Hawkins Otto left guard Marshall Howard .,,., left tackle Moultray ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 30 ---------- 30 THE MESSENGER Wheeler left end Copenhaver Meade-Aiken right, guard Sloan Thiel right tackle Tidball Peters right end Kraiisc W. Southerland right halfback Gubbins McPherson fullback Bast Morgan left halfback H. East Gaffney quarterback Cade BASKET-BALL "How do you feel after the game?" "I can hardly navigate, how are you?" "I love to play Basket-ball." "Doesn't she play dandy?" " I wonder who will make first team?" "Don't forget practice tonight!" These are a few of the remarks that can be heard as you pass through the halls. Basketball season has started in all its glory; and each athletic girl is going to take advantage of her opportunity in helping win the Kline Cup for her Class. The Seniors were the first to make their appearance for practice on the evening of October 17. The line-up was excellent. The old players who have not played for years went into the game, as enthusiastically as if they had never stopped, and some of the new girls, who have never handled the ball, played like old players. Under the excellent management of Miss Stark and their coach, Mr. Holcombe, the Seniors are looking forward for some good playing. The Juniors are out in full force with, all their old and new ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 31 ---------- THE MESSENGER 31 players. They are working hard and will give any learn a hard fight to win. What Era Franklin, their manager, lacks in size, she makes up in enthusiasm and Class spirit. Mr. Bond, the Junior's stand-by, is out with his smile and good will to coach them, and with his assistance they will climb the ladder and print 1heir name in the "Hall of Fame." The First Years are the third in the line to go out into lite field of Athletics. Although they arc light that is no sign they cannot play; for last year we had as an example when the Second Years held their ground so bravely. Wake up!!! other Classmen, and organize your teams. The Final games will be here and you will be sleeping. • • • EXCHANGES. We are always glad to receive Exchanges and will see that none are neglected or overlooked. We received many Exchanges too late for our last issue, but will send our "Messenger" this month. It is the privilege of the students to ask for other papers to be placed on our Exchange list. We want you all to take an active interest in this department as we know everyone enjoys reading the many good Exchanges which we receive. The Whims, from Broadway High School: Your cuts and photographs are especially good; your directory of "Whim's" advertisers and system of coupons is the best we have ever seen in any of the papers. "The Bugle," from Monroe, Michigan: Your paper, though small, is very interesting. Your jokes and editorial cuts are good. "The Mankatonian," from Mankato, Minn : Your two poems were very good. Poems always add greatly to the attractiveness of the papers. You need a few good cuts. ''The Boosl e r , ' ' from Chadron, Nebraska. You have the right spirit. Just keep on boosting. The " E h Kah Nam," from Walla Walla High School: You are a good, breezy little paper. We like your style and cuts. "Vox Studentis," from Union City, Tenn.: Your material is good, but some good cuts would add greatly to the appearance of your paper. "The Kodak," from Everett: Your literary Department could be worked up, but your class notes and jokes are especially good. We hope to receive many more exchanges next month than we did this one. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 32 ---------- 32 THE MESSENGER IN THE AUDITORIUM. Mr. John J. Edens, one of JBellingham's most noted pioneers, was born in Kentucky, from whence his parents moved to Missouri, and thence to Puget Sound, and for about forty years, Mr. Edens has resided in the Puget Sound region in the vicinity of Bellingham and has watched its marvelous growth. Early in the settlement of this region good schools were established and in 1895 our own B. S. N. S. was started. Mr. Edens, as one of the first trustees, worked laboriously for its construction. All these years he has labored cheerfully and willingly on the Board and still remains the honored Senior member. The past Summer, Mr. Edens made a trip to the East, the first since his residence in Washington, and in Atlantic City joined 15,000 veteran soldiers in their great encampment in that city. With pride he tells how for three hours, the 15,000 veterans marched in procession, and less than two hundred dropped out of the ranks because of fatigue. Spurred on by memories of former days and refreshed on the way by cooling drinks of ice water from the hands of daintily white-gowned children, who stood ready to serve them, they marched gallantly on, amid the vast throngs who assembled to do them honor. On former battle fields he again stood and with old comrades and old friends, some of whom, strange to say, wore the gray, he drove over the fields and in memory went back to the '60's. Just before his departure, Mr. Clark, the registrar, camera in hand, visited Mr. Edens in his home and succeeded in securing an excellent photograph. This he quietly showed to the other members of the Board, and with their heartiest co-operation, had it enlarged. Upon his return, Mr. Edens, with Mr. F. F. Handschy and J. J. Donovan, the other members of the Board of Trustees, were asked to visit the Normal that they might meet the students, so that the students might know them. A secret, draped in "Old Glory," was seen on the platform, as all gathered for morning assembly. Dr. Mathes presented Mr. F. F. Handschy, the Junior member of the Board, and after a short address to the students on Mr. Edens' work as a member of the Board, at his signal the Misses Richard and Freeborn tore back the drapery of "Old Glory,'' and there stood unveiled the splendid enlarged picture of John J. Edens. It was a genuine but pleasant surprise to Mr. Edens and the School. The picture now hangs in the Trustees' Room, an in-spiriation to all. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 33 ---------- THE MESSENGER 33 The regular long assembly of Friday was postponed on Oct. 14th, until the following Monday when Mrs. Headlee very charmingly gave a stereopticon lecture on our own fair, balmy Hawaiian Islands. Mrs. Headlee has recently made the trip and the pictures she presented were those secured during her sojourn among the islands. • We were delightfully entertained by Mr. Bond and Mr. Bevor at the Assembly period of Oct. 22. Mr. Bond and Mr. Bever told their vacation experiences. We are always glad to hear from faculty members. • We hardly realized that such talent was in our midst until last Friday morning, when we were agreeably surprised by a program given by Student talent. The rendition of the following program was so much appreciated that we want a repetition of a Student program: STUDENT PROGRAM. Normal Auditorium, October 28, 1910.

The Second Year Class of the High School was organized early in September. The last year's Constitution was amended and adopted and the following officials were elected: Evelyn Newell President Horace Mather Vice-President Irma Wright Secretary-Treasurer Franklyn Sly Sergeant-at-Arms The First Year Class was organized Oct. 1, 1910. Officers were elected, as follows: Mary Riordan President Darrell Williams Vice-President Fred Horst Secretary Thomas Allison Treasurer Thomas Bulmer Sergeant-at-Arms ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 34 ---------- 34 THE MESSENGER With fifty energetic boys and girls (more than twice the number we had at this time last year) the Normal High School seems to be a success in every way, with long years of prosperity stretching before it. Although not many of last year's pupils are back this year, the new Students bring new ideas and hopes with them and we are more fortunate than before. Both grades are working for the betterment of all, physically, mentally, morally and socially. There is much Class spirit in each organization, and several harmless clashes have occurred. Both grades are in the race for The Messenger pennant and each intends to win. On the whole, the High School seems to be flourishing and becoming an important factor in the School. We all feel that no small amount of our success is due to the guiding hand of Mr. Patchin. He has given unreservedly of his time and energy to bring us where Ave are today. The first social event of the season occurred about three weeks ago when the new Class was entertained by the Tenth Grade. Although the gathering consisted chiefly of chaperons, they were all so interested in each other that both Classes had a most delightful time. For various good reasons the boys have attempted nothing in the line of football this season. But basketball is not slighted. The boys are turning out for.practice and expect to be in good condition soon. What they lack in weight they gain in speed; and although some of the fellows never saw a basket-ball before, all handle it like experts. Swartz, forward on last year's team, plays the same position and was chosen captain for this year. • • * NEGATIVE THANKFULNESS Ma says 'at tomorrer's Thanksgivin' An' we ought to be thankful a lot; But in tryin' to count up my blessings I'm thankfullest fer what I ain't got.
