ELECIED PRESIDENT OF OTHER OFFICERS ARE ELECTED FOR SEMESTER The meeting for the election of Senior class officers was held last Wednesday morning at the .scheduled hour, with Mrs. Edna Anstett acting as chairman The constitution and by-laws were presented by Marian Collier, and voted upon by the class. Resignations of nominees, having been presented for the offices of President and Secretary, made it necessary for an informal ballot to' l gt;e. cast. The following officers were then elected by majority vote: President—Donna Klinckcr. Vice President—Pearl Stroughton. Secretary—Ralph Miller. Reporter—Margaret Spaight. A very poor record of attendance was shown. Considering the number of Seniors enrolled, a greater active interest should be displayed toward class affairs: It may be emphasized that the boys aren't so scarce that they need all be excused from attendance. If you are a Senior, pull for your class. Don't let the other feiiow do it. Co-operate, and by so doing, help both yourself and the class of which you are M'COMAS ELECIED PRESIDENT OF 1HE a. member. BIG MIXER TO BE HELD ON NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT The Juniors have started Liu year auspiciously by electing a splendid corps of officers for this first seni lt;ester. Sian-ley McComas heads the list for president; Blanche Davey was chosen vice president; Katherine Meyers will tike charge of the work of secretary, while Ff.hel Ashley will serve as treasurer. With these efficient officers the Juniors are starting off with a vim, by announcing a mixer for Saturday night. Proceeding the election of officers, a lively and entertaining program was on-joyed: Songs l gt;v Junior Trio Ethel Ashley, Helen Gadc, Veda Morfat Reading, "At Dancing School" Robert Caulkins Song "Everybody Calls Me Honey".... Mildred Byies B. S. N. S. The Y. W. C. A. was very fortunate Thursday in having Dr. Louis Sperry Chafer give one of his inspiring Bible talks. Dr. Chafer took for his theme the three classes of man: The Natural, Spiritual and Incarnate. Under one of these classes everyone has his place. He emphasized that to attain one's greatest ideal one should belong to the spiritual. All derived great benefit from this spiritual talk. EXCITING GAME BIG GAME SET FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON In a short practice game with Fair-haven high school last Tuesday, the Normal team easily defeated the South Side lads 34 to 0. Handicapped by a loss of several men and by a lack of a heavy line, the South Siders had no chance to score, altho several times they threatened the Normal goal. The game • altho of but half, regular length, was slow, clue to the fact that the Normal punched many holes in the South Siders' line. However, tomorrow will do much to show standard of Sam Carver's team Tomorrow, Saturday. Oct. 15, our team will lock horns with Sedro-Woollev and inasmuch as (hey have an exceptionally good team, the results probably will be very different. Sedro-Woolley lias practically an old team, one that has played together for two years and probably will play an open game, passes and many end runs. They easily handled Blaine, who in turn beat Whatcom, and altho Woolley had several men mutilated temporarily, they are on their feet again with a fighting team. If the Normal wins, it will be by no lopsided score. Paul Rairdon, who has been playing tackle, has been sick and it is doubtful whether or not he will play at Woolley. Ga as land and Fisher, halves, are both somewhat crippled. Quinn, with a "bum" hand, and "Gazzy" with a, bad "Charley horse" in the muscles of his leg.

Everyone be careful about attendance at assemblies, for roll is now being taken, and an absence there is just as serious an offense as at any other class. Mr. Coughlin spoke to us on organization and prevention of "Fire," giving us statistics that would appal the average person—we are literally burning up our future, he says. These are the bel! signals in case of fire: 1 bell will ring for drill; 2 bells will mean tbe location of the. fire is in the Science Annex; -i bells, in the Main building; 4 bells, in the Training School; and 2 long bells will signal time for return to the building. Everyone take, heed to these signals. At this assembly Mr. Thompson again favored us with a selection entitled: "'America the Beautiful." WEDNESDAY-Oct. 12. After a lew important announcements by Dr. Nash, we were given the opportunity of hearing Mr. Harrison, of Seattle, sing. Mr. Harrison possesses a right, high base voice, and iiis selections were especially pleasing. Mr. Harrison is a relative of Mrs. Thatcher and Mrs. Harrison, his wife and accompanist, was a former Normal girl, so there was an immediate bond of friendship between them and us.

Rena: "It is so long coming." Five clubs were organized in the training school Friday: Handicraft, Dramatic and Story Telling, Gamp Fire, Boys' club, Music club. All of these will be a source of much interest and benefit. The Music club has an orchestra of five violins and a piano. This ambitious orchestra will help regularly with ' the Wednesday Assembly programs in the Training School, and seive at other times when called upon. The Junior High School students enjoyed very much hearing Mr. Thompson give John Drinkwaler's "Abraham Lincoln," and Longfellow's Hiawatha. The Columbus Dav program was held the 12th of October, in the main Assembly hall. Over thirty slides were shown, depicting scenes in the life of Columbus. Talks were given by different pupils as slides were shown.' Orchestra selections concluded the program. The 7A Science class went on a field trip Monday afternoon. The SB Arithmetic class has opened a bank. Different members of the class represent the various business concerns, such as. a grocery store, a dry goods store, a lumber mill, and others. One is a cattle dealer, one a farmer, one a real estate dealer, and one an automobile agent. There is a great deal of rivalry among the different concerns to secure business. The real estate dealer IIMS opened a new addition on the hill south of the Normal and is selling lots at the fabulously low price of $1,000 a lot. 'Pupils are learning to fill out deposit slips, make checks, borrow money and other necessary details. A visit to a local bank proved very instructive. Some very creditable and artistic posters may be seen on the walls in the lower halls, made by the primary grades. They are worthy of inspection. The primary classes also are preparing the bulbs for planting. They put them away in the dark and will bring them out in time for Christmas blossoming.

Wenz Exchange — Olga Brotnov Cinb Kditor Austin Dobsou, who probably more 1 ban any contemporary poet, brought back to us the charms of Ihc ISl.h century, died last month in London. AVe feel this little poem of his, " I n After Days*' not only beautiful in itself, but inspired by an ideal we all appreciate. IN AFTER DAYS. In after days when grasses high O'er top the stones where I shall lie. Though ill or well the world adjust My slender claim to honored dust, I shall not question or reply. I shall not see the morning sky; I shall not hear the night-wind sigh; I shall be mute, as all men must In after days. 8 But yet. now living, fain would I That some one then should testify, Raying—"Tie bold his pen in trust To Art, not serving shame, .or lust." Will none? Then let memory die. In after days. —Austin Dobson. B. S. N. S. INCENTIVE FOR STUDENTS. Edward A. Thompson! Iiis name is an incentive to greater achievement! Indeed the story of Mr. Thompson's life is very inspirational, for he has risen so far above his affliction 1hat he is known as one of the foremost platform speakers of America. Mr. Thompson lost his eyesight shortly after his college days were over. At the time when this great misfortune overtook him, Mr. Thompson was studying to be a singer, but finding his inability to read notes a serious handicap to his success in the realm of music, he began the study of reading. Our hope, of distinction and success is born anew by meditating on the record of this marvelous man. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime." How many of us only put.forth a mediocre effort and are content with the development of perhaps 40% of our inherent possibilities. Even in normals and universities the. percentage of students who carry subjects primarily for credit and are satisfied with barely passing grades is appallingly large. Surely the ideals and s'andards of attainment of this class of students are not very high. Their idea evidently is to just "get b y . " Of course, we must, have a certain number of credits to be Juniors and Seniors and lo graduate, but should not our primary aim be self-development to the fullest possible extent and should not our studies serve as a means in attaining this worthy end? If self-development is our aim we shall not confine our study of mathematics, for instance, to the text book but shall delve, if time permits, into all phases of mathematics as a subject. Again, we shall not study primarily for diplomas, but to become strong teachers. First, seek self-development, and secondly, credits and grades. PEP Are you school spirited ? Is our student body, as a whole, school spirited ? The school spirit of any school is only the composite of the school spirit displayed by each indivchial student. Don't forget that " a chain is no stronger than i t ' s weakest link." What are you doing to the school spirit of Bellingham Normal? x\re you making it finer and stronger or you weakening the Normals' school spirit? There is only room in Bellingham Normal for students who are school spirited—who have 'pep' and. lots of it. Be that kind of a student! Put your school first and leave Bellingham feeling that the Normal is just a little better because of your influence and the support you accorded student activities while here. This season the Normal has a football team for the first time in years, o you thoroughly appreciate this fact? If you do you will come out and root for the team at the game Saturday.

If so, the Normal Cafeteria has its place in the hearts of many, for figures show that during the summer quarter 175 to 200 persons were served daily. This quarter 125 to 200 are taking their noon meal iTicre. Due to the lowering of prices on certain food stuffs our cafeteria is able to serve food at remarkably low figures. Soups, pies and salads are examples of this. The insufficient stove space has been remedied thru the purchase of a new hotel range. From the following menu, one may gain an idea of the variety of dishes and prices of our cafeteria: Cream tomato soup 5c Creamed chipped beef 10c Baked potatoes oc Creamed carrots and peas 5c Scalloped corn 5e String beans 5c Sliced tomatoes 5c Sliced cucumbers 5c Sweet pickles lc Cheese 3c Fresh rolls, 3c; 2 for 5c Plain broad and butter, 3c; 2 for 5c Raisin bread and butter 3c; 2 for 5c Apple pie 5c Cream pie 5c 'rune pie oc Prune sauce 5c Doughnuts 3c; 2 for 5c Tee cream 5c Coffee, cocoa, milk 5c Candy liars may be obtained from ;) a. in. to 3 p. in., and ice cream may generally be had during the afternoon. The cafeteria is glad to order supplies for school parties or club .affairs. Supplies ordered through the cafeteria can be secured at lower figures than when bought retail. gt; On rainy days the waiting line is always longer and the cafeteria folk plan accordingly. It takes from 15 to 20 minutes to serve the ordinary line, but the Normal line is by no means an ordinary one. This line presents a fine opportunity for the study of certain phases of human nature and individuality. The difference in tastes, manners and customs is amazing. Much credit is due Mrs. Richards for her well seasoned soups, and homelike pies and cakes. Our cafeteria is self-supporting. Your co-operation will keep it so. It is under the able management of the Home Economics department. B. S. N. S. There arc only three stages of life in the English 1!) class. The first is the suspense experienced before your name is called. The second stage is the agony endured when mechanically opening your mouth in a frantic attempt to speak unformed words. The third' and last stage is tlie calm resignation which follows your recitation while others are suffering. li/2-lb.

Just browsing around is-poor policy; one never gets anywhere or knows the value of what he does get. The very best way to glean a general knowledge of books and of library usage, a necessary a set to every teacher. is to spend a litile time with each classification. This week's topic is Biography. Why should we read biography? Most of us have the idea that it's dry, hard to read, ancient; but that's the wrong impression. Why, just the other day .1 finished the biography of Jane Austin, English authoress, who became famous early in life; and it was better than fiction. To know something of the in timacies of another person's life, his trials, aims, and achievements, is to be inspired and encouraged. The best biographies are usually written by those, who esteem their subjects very hignly. Loekhart loved Sir Waiter Scott; Bos-well idealized Johnson. To read the life of one whose aims were similar to ours is to find a new frioMcl, and it is impossible to hnve too many such friends. It must be remembered also that the term "biography" includes many delightful informal letters full of the writer's personalities and containing interesting incidents of everyday life. Nearly one thousand lives are represented in our library by letters and autobiographies. The following list is especially selected for its value, interest, and variety, and is heartily recommended to everyone. The life of Thomas Edison, the most '•useful" man living in the world at the p?-esenfc time. A Life of Caviour, Italian patriot. St. Francis of Assisi. E. Grcig, the. great musician whose life was so full of purpose and sincerity. Abraham Lincoln, by Ida Tarbell. Don't finish this year without delving a little deeper into the life of this beloved leader. The Life of Alice Freeman Palmer. You students who suffer over lesson plans, take heart, for by striving and thro love of striving Alice Freeman Palmer when very young became president of YVt'llesley college. Life of Roosevelt. A timely book, of the vigor and simplicity of the great statesman. 1 A life of Helen Keeler. Booker T. Washington, the great negro leader. The Education of Henry Adams. One of the biographies that has caused moie comment than anv other of the present day. The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson. The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The Life of Jane Austin. Sir Walter Scott, by Loekhart. Boswell's Life of Johnson. Head the many posters in the library which explain the ten definite calssifiecV Lions into which the books are divided and know tne general grouping of the subject matter. Jn seeking books, remember that reference books and bio graph y are to be found in north room, magazines and periodicals in the south room, and all others in the middle room. Next week's? topic will be Art. A "new book" shelf will be placed in the library soon," opposite the charge desk, and will contain the very latest additions to the library. Posters above the shelf will contain information. A miscellaneous reading list, from time to time, will be recommended by different members of the faculty. The books so recommended will be entirely Small can Log Cabin Maple Syrup 25c Owen Market Grocery No. 3 G-arden Street, Near Oak outside of any course of study in any department. The following new books ought to give anyone a bigger and more sympathetic understanding of life: Miss Edens: Casuals of the Sea, by William McFee. A sea story with a big appeal. Smoke and Steel, Poems of Chicago, by Carl Sandburg. Letters of William James, Harvard psychologist. Miss Montgomery: Romance of Leonardo de Vinci, by Freud.

EXPERIENCES TEACHING IN THE DISTRICT SCHOOL A very interesting letter has been received by Miss Wilson, from Margaret Stapleton, in regards to her teaching "The last three weeks," states Miss Stapleton, "have been the busiest, most interesting, and most novel that I have ever experienced." Situated in the hilly wilds of Cowlitz county, near Pigeon Springs, is a little, old fashioned, twelve pupil school, where Miss Stapleton is teacher—and community leader. Th'e ittle school is on the other isde of the Kalamath river, and at present is access-able only by crossing the river on a foot log. However, when the rainy season ensues, it will be necessary to cross the river in a "hanging bird cage" suspended on a pulley and rope. The school itself is fairly well equipped, with exception to the library, which is composed chiefly of abandoned high school texts, piled in an old fashioned book case, in a very prominent part of the room. Due to Miss Stapleton's initiative, borrowed books will be procured from the T acorn a Public Library, and the State Traveling Library. The "teacher's quarters" are rather unique, tlio perhaps not to be appreciated. The boarding place is a three-room log cabin, in a rugged, partially cleared valley. Tho very clean, the three-room house is shared by a family of five, besides the teacher. Altho the community takes an active interest m activities Miss Staple-ton remarks that she feels, "like an alien on foreign soil" as the people are nearly all Finns, and speak little English. Miss Stapleton enjoys her teaching more than any previous experience and enjoys life in the country. Vet, our former student misses Be'lingham Normal. Many of Margaret Stapleton's friends will be glad to hear that she is planning on returning to B. S. N. S next summer. B. S. N. S. Teacher—Cecil, compare the adjective, sick.

One buoyant Freshman was heard to ask if that was the committee that was the committee that handed out scholarships at the end of the year. It has nothing to do with the awarding of scholarships to the particularly deserving; rather, it concerns itself with the student who is falling behind in his work.. The members of the con.miUee arc: Miss Cummins, chairman; Mits Bell and Mr. Rakgkopf. The purpose of tins committee is to study the relation of the student to his grade standings. It is to see that students do not overload, and that grades are kept up to a certain standard. Another duty is to supervise the • standing of the athletic teams. In order that one team may have as high a standing as another it is requisite that only students of certain grade standards be admitted to the basketball, .baseball and football teams. This applies to either the boys' or girls' track teams, and also debate. In fact, any team representing school activities falls under this requ.is.ite. Thus it is not to grai.t scholarships, but to uphold a higli standard of scholarship that this committee is appointed and its members are at work. -B. S. N. » . — OUR "HELLO" DAYS.

Such beautiful blue and white wooly blankets piled everywhere, just waiting, it seemed, to cuddle a weary chilly yhv per; and pillows, quantities of them, inviting the drowsy head, brand new chairs, there were too, and crockery. Towels draped themselves here and there.- Several rugs were on display. There may have hem curtains curious vases, stands, pictures, and many other interesting things; but one quick glance thru a partly open door could but give a bare survey. There were people iu the faculty room, also, who seemed to be fingering the wares spread by the bazaar before them- and c-hatl ing affably, no doubt, over the prices and values. One could never guess the real meaning of it all. It lt;nul to do with the furnishings for the new dormitory.

T H IS IN CONSTANT USE Bellingliam Normal is unique among schools of its size, in the amount of its Student Loan Fund. Beginning with a nucleus of $400, donated by the graduating class of 1004, thft fund has constantly grown until at present $10,000 is at the disposal of Dr. Niisn and a faculty committee to loan to deserving students. Practically all of that amount is in use now. The Unit any student may draw ia $200. Mr. Allen, of Seattle, has proved himself a friend indeed, to many prospective teachers, as at two different occasions he has given generously to the Loan Fund, on the stipulation flint the sum he donated would he equalled by other conti ibutions. The faculty also have given freely to this fund. Letters received by the school from students who have made use of the Loan Fund show with what appreciation and gratitude these loans are received.

Miss Sperry returned Monday from Teacher's Institutes in Grant and Harney counties. The institutes were held in Canyon City and Burns,, Oregon. The program was very interesting, and Miss Sperry enjoyed every part of her trip Among those who helped make the Institute such a success were: W. M. Smith, assistant state superintendent; Professor F. L. Stetson, of the University of Oregon; Professor E. D. Kesseier, of the Oregon Agricultural college, and Miss Gertrude Lyons, superintendent of Grant county. Miss Lyons will be remembered here as a graduate of 'IS. She is doing splendid work in her field. Miss Sperry met several other Normal students at Canyon City, among them, Mrs. Von, of the class of 'I."), who is now head of the English department at the .Maker City high school; Mrs. Elizabeth Shoemaker Gunthcr, of the class of 1909, and Miss Pauline Paulson, of Mo. The country in which Miss Sperry visited is one of great opportunity and great possibilities. There are good schools and hard working, appreciative teachers. The great drawback is the irrigation problem. Canyon City is an old gold mining center, and was at one time the largest city in Oregon. ITarney county is the largest county in the United States, being nearly 200 miles long and comprises 00 million acres of land. " Miss Sperry drove by auto from Canyon City to Burns, a 70 mile trip, and from Burns to Bend, a 150 mile trip, thru desert and sagebrush. These cities are without railway connection and the stretches of country between these points present a touch of the real "wild west," with its picturesque barrencss and promising future. B. S. N.

IS LEADS IN COMMUNITY SINGING Mr. Coughlin returns to us, brimming over with enthusiasm about the institute work accomplished at Goklcndale, Klickitat County, October 3 and 4, where he was one of the leaders. Following the Portland route, Mr. Coughlin viewed the wonderlands of the Columbia. From Maryhill the trip was completed by stages. By route of the. main highway, the stage crept up the snake-like switchback, with a 5 percent grade to an altitude of 1G00 feet, the top of the .'Klickitat Plateau. From this point the view was most interesting, including four great mountain peaks of the northwest, M.ts. Adams, Hood, Rainier and St. Helens. Arriving at Goldendale the party was cordially received. Mr. Coughlin reports having seen many former students of Bellingliam Normal at the institute.

The appeal of the institute was mainly thru visualization. - A great number of stereoptican slides, depicting nature, were shown; and there also was a motion picture demonstration. Prof. Coughlin introduced community singing, in which he was ably assisted by a former Normal student. At first it was practically impossible to get the audience in a responsive mood. None of the songs that usually gather enthusiasm seemed to rouse the audience. Finally, when the leader was about to give up hopes, succumbing to desperate needs, he announced that anyone seen not singing the song "Howdy" and shaking hands with those on cither side of him would be considered as a "poor sport, and" said Mr. Coughlin, "such a shaking of hands and such a friendly spirit that arose, you never saw in your life!" There was a big gathering of fomrer Normal students, who wanted to know-all about the Normal, and about prospects for summer school. Mr. Coughlin visited two schools, conducted by former Normal students. They took him all around the country, and he reports it to be a great land for harvesting wheat.

Out into the deep waters of the channel it glided, pushing aside the water gently, guided by the bare brown arm of our moody boatsman. Further out it dared until the rythni of its swaying lulled us into a musing dream, and the shadowy white walls behind receded into darkened haze. The city of Venice was at rest. Its people, its boats, its sights and sounds were asleep. It seemed as if the mellow darkness of the night were a masterful being that barkened the noises and soothed the people into dreams; that arranged the strange silence, so full of tremulous whispers; that called to the fairies, beckoning and inviting them to play. The fairies he called were the moonbeam fairies and the fairies of the water —ail .the fairies of the night time. Shadow sprites came and danced at the edges of the water. We saw them flicker and wave and grow. They crowded into the corners; they covered the walls and houses with warm protecting arms. But the moonbeam dancers were all around us, in the open on the water. Our followers, they swayed and trembled and gleamed, lighting up the surface. Their dance was not dumb; it was full of song and light laughter, but the singing and the laughter were stilled. The water fairies we could not see at once, but we felt their presence and heard their hushed chant. Murmur low, liuir mur low! It rose and fell, grew and died. They chose the tiniest moonbeams for their partners and twinkled in and out of the water in merry circles. 13. S. NT. S .— DER STYLE AND BUSINESS.
