XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24. IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant.

Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars. Let's show Cheney a real live bunch of considerate car owners. % —V. G. B. S. N. S. Have you thought about buying a Klipsun? If not, why not? It is high time you began to give this matter some consideration. Only a few days ago the Business Manager of the 1923 Klipsun was heard to remark that in former years there has always been a large portion of the student body, usually Freshmen, who never make an attempt to obtain a copy of the Klipsun. Are you in this class f Soliciting of student Klipsun orders will be made by the management early in February. With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a half. The Klipsun staff are putting their best efforts into the successful completion of the Klipsun, and the Business Manager is laboring manfully on the many financial problems involved in its publication. However, your support is needed to make the annual a fiinancial success. Are you going to pay up? • —B. S. N. S. GIRLS' ATHLETICS. Comments have been heard right and left upon the game Saturday evening between the Whatcom and Fairhaven Girls' Alumni team. Why not have more such enjoyable games? If Normal had a girl's basketball team thrilling games with other schools might often be added as an attraction to the boys' games. While you are thinking, talking, hoping and praying: "New Gymnasium," why not keep up interest thru a girls' school team in basketball! —V. M. IDYLS OF THE KING NO. 6 I. DE SCRIBE. Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

"The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S. ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

The score of the first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit. Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts. "Hoping that 1!)23 may be the best year the Bellingham Normal has ever had, I am Sincerely, ALBERT W. C HERRE, Chief, Division of Fisheries, Bureau of Science. B. S. N. S. Freshman Play.

Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say!

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday.

Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the "Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country. After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open fireplace, and playing games. . ' Miss Moffat folded the paper, took off her glasses, and glanced out of the window. "Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S. N. S. — THESPIAxio. Thursday, January 25th, is a momentous date in the Philo and Thespian clubs. For on that evening the basketball title for both boys and girls is to be decided. The defeated teams will treat both clubs to refreshments, so there is one thing to look forward to, no matter who wins. It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple. B. S. N. S. OHIYESA NOTES.

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

This year it will have a Molloy imitation leather cover, and will contain eight or ten pages of .campus scenes which, with the stories, organization sections and other features, will make it an annual worth having and worth keeping. Ellensburg has great expectations for a championship basketball team, as her squad is composed of some of the best basketball material in the state. State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney. They believe that if it is known or spoken of as Cheney Normal, that it is implying a false condition, for it is not a local but a State Normal. They desire to have the proper name used. The Trail, C. P. S., Tacoma: C. P. S., according to a recent editorial, wants to have as its slogan for the football year of 1923. "C. P. S., the Center College of the West." And following Dr. Coue's "day by day," hope to carry out the slogan. -B. S. N. S. CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection. In fact the hour was entirely too short. iHii«ii«iiKii»ii«r«ii«ii«ii«ii«ii«ii gt;tiiHii«ii«ii«ii«M«ii«iwii«iwiMa n m m ® 1 OWL 1 I SATURDAY I j SPECIALS 1 SI a I Visit Our Store Saturday M pi And See What You Can Save ! | on Everything You Want 1 "• IS I OWL 1 PHARMACY MARINELLO Beauty Shop Massaging Prismatic Scalp Treatment Shampooing Mai veiling, Hair Dressing and ManJcwJBg. 1301 Commercial St. Phone 623 At the Wednesday assembly, Mr. Bev-er save an interesting and constructive criticism of the practice debate held Monday. The delivery, Mr. Bever declared was good, but he felt that the debaters were not, on the whole, fully possessed of all possible material. The negative, especially argued beside the question, appealing only to public opinion. Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics. The support of the student body will not only encourage the members of the team, but will also be beneficial to the school.

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there. The Y. W. is grateful especially to the girls who furnished special music at the meetings, Miss Mary Passage, Miss Ruth Markham and Miss Elizabeth Izaacs. B. S. N. S.: Wm.

For many days past, a mysterious package has reposed in the pigeon -hole marked I, in the Co-op. After inspecting the package, the addressee feared to open it, and consequently sent the long suffering editor and an assistant to investigate. Though still in doubt as to whom he is indebted, Mr. O. Ingersoll wishes to extend his thanks thru the columns of this paper to the donner of the excellent eocoanut fudge.PPPPP
