Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20. M OFFERED Course Will Be Supplemented by Field Trips to Places for Good Composition. Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region. 'Rhododendrons,' a ^ ^ | | l | s t o r y of the Cypress Islands, has re- ^ ^ ® ^ c e n t l y ; been accepted by a syndicate." ^ ^ g l p ^ ^ ^ t r o p o l i t a n , .Pictorial .Review,;' and Miss Rich returned Monday morning from a delightful vacation in California. She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20. NOTICE—RECITAL Miss Byrd Elliott, violinist; Miss May Taylor, contralto; will appear in recital at the Garden St. M. E. church on Tuesday evening, May 24, 8:15 o'clock.

Beethoven's well-known Moonlight Sonata was delivered in a most artistic manner displaying exquisite harmony, modulation, masterfulenss and vivaciousness in swift movements. Mi-. Perine's selections of the extreme classical type were presented with all the powerfulness or softness with which they were written. Especially was Debussy's Prelude filled with an enchanting and artistic melodiousness. The Etude of St. Saen was also interpreted in an intriguing spirit. o ; "U" JOURNALISTS EDIT SEATLE STAR A DAY :ww-v-vvvv.vvvvv%vv«v (Monitor The Journalism, class at the University of Washington stepped out of their class last week and edited the Saturday editions of the Seattle Star.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

This special number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success. She gave unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has been ably assisted by Theo. Norby, regular sports editor. The spirit manifested by these two students has meant much to the other members of the journalism classes. A recent canvas among students of our course in Civilization brought out the s t a r t l i n g fact t h a t less than n per cent are keeping abreast of theHhnes, less t h a n ten per cent are keeping-viri touch with the major topics o f \ t h e clay. This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of worthwhile contemporary information.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game. Summary—Earned Runs: Bellingham' 4; Ellensburg 4. Triple, Odell. Doubles, McClurken, Wingard, Ruble. Home Runs: Odell, Wingard, Rubles. Struck out: Wingard S; Hedlund 8. Walked: Wingard 1, Hedlund 3.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon. Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end. GRADUATES RECEIVE v DIPLOMAS ON JUNE 9 LEOWYRTHA CLUB Plans for the work of the club for- next year were discussed by members of the Leowyrtha Club at their regular meeting, Thursday evening, May 12. The club is planning a progressive program-which will include the study of stories of the various nations, and the contributions of each to literature.

Baker and Friday Harbor Two special attractions for the summer, quarter are the courses in field work Avliich are offered at Mt. Baker and Friday Harbor by the Normal. '; Last year was the first _for the Mt. Baker course. All those who were enrolled in geography at Bellingham were sent up there for one week. The work proved so popular and valuable that this year it is to be repeated and the students in nature study are to be given a similar week. . The Mt. Baker region is rich in geological phenomena and in glaciers and streams. The entire week is spent in trips to lakes, glacial valleys, streams, eroded rocks, and other points of interest to the geographer. , Region Rich in Plant Life. Due to the rapid increase in altitude the variety of plant life within reach of the nature students is very great. It varies from the abundant flora of the Bellingham district to the small plants characteristic of the region above the tree line. The nature stjudy students will spend their week in field trips which will include study of plant and insect life and ecological relationships. The Kulshan cabin will be given over to the use of the students taking the Normal courses during the month of July. It has sleeping rooms and a large kitchen. Meals will be prepared and served at the cabin. The geography course will be in charge of Robert Landon, of Chicago, who had charge of it last summer. Nature study will be under Hilda Kosene, a regular instructor in the Science department at the Normal. Two Courses at Friday Harbor. The two courses at Friday Harbor have been given successfully for several years. The Normal co-operates with the University of Washington in running the Puget Sound Biological Station, just across the little bay from the village of Friday Harbor. A large dining hall and study, a library, several laboratories, and a storeroom are the permanent fixtures. Living quarters are tents. Six dollars and -fifty, cents pays for half a tent for the entire nine weeks of the summer term. Plant and Animal 'Biology are the courses given by the Normal. Plant biology is a study of the classification, recognition, and distribution of plants. The islands are rich in materials and it is-not difficult to collect specimens of over a hundred different plants on the field trips which the class makes. The animal biology class studies animal forms, especially invertebrate forms, and recognition of common birds, animals and insects. There is a twelve-foot tide in that locality and the life exposed is abundant. Besides this there is a dredge which is busy every day dragging the bottom of the Sound for life from the parts Avliich the tide does not expose. Station Keeps Boats. Classes are taken to and from the neighboring islands in an old fishing boat, the Medea. Near the station trips are made afoot or in rowboats. The Station keeps about twenty-five rowboats which are always ready and free for student use. Classes begin at eight and last until four, with an hour off for noon. Evenings are spent in rowing, hiking, fishing, and studying. Every Sunday there is a trip on the Medea to places around the Sound. The schedule of trips usually includes: Mt. Constitution, American Camp; English Camp; Spieden Island, where many fossils are found, and other pleasant places, among which is always an island upon which the gulls nest. This year the Normal courses will last either six or nine weeks, as the student may wish, and will be under the direction of Dr. Rigg and Dr. Brode. Dr. Rigg, who will etach Plant Biology, is from the Univer- FINEST MUSICIANS APPEARTO YEAR Musical Artists Course Offers Excellent Opportunities to Students. (Continued on Page Three) FLOA-TIAX FRIDAY HARBOR STATION Six programs by world famous musicians will comprise the Musical Artists' Course at Bellingham next year. This course is put on by the Women's Music Club and the Normal. Students of the Normal are admitted to it on their student activities ticket. First Number in December The first number, given in December, will be Edward Johnson, lately acclaimed by John McCormack as the "greatest living tenor." He will be followed by Mary Lewis, operatic artist of established fame. This is her first trip to the Coast, but in her debut as "Mimi" in "La Boheme," Miss Lewis won praise at the Metropolitan Opera House. The dramatic story of her sudden rise to success appeared in the Ladies' Home Journal for May, 1927. The Rumanian violinist, Georges Enesco, is a composer of music, and plays beside the violin the cello, piano and organ. He is reputed to have a perfect technique in bowing. His appearance here will be anticipated with pleasure since he is the first violinist to appear since Cecilia Hanson in 192C. Novel Ensemble Coming The English Singers offer a novelty in ensemble singing. Seated at a table, they bring a note of informality, and render the ancient madrigals as was the custom 50 years ago. ' The entire program is given in English. The pianist of the year is Hai'old Bauer, of English birth, who is recognized as a great artist in Europe and America. Persuaded by Pader-wski, Bauer forsook his study of the violin for the piano, where his talent has been so plainly demonstrated. Harold Bauer is an American citizen, and made his debut with the Boston Symphony. Those who have heard Barrere's Little Symphony Orchestra hail with enthusiasm its reappearance in Bellingham.., Consisting of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, trumpet, and bassoon, combined with a balance of string instruments, marvelously directed, the orchestra'is truly symphonic and has been pronounced unforgetable. - Five Numbers During Past Season The Editor Writes A Letter to High School Graduates NOTED LECTURERS AT Unstatistical evidence - would probably show that only "five per cent of the world's population is capable of thinking; and, only 1 per cent of this five really do think. To the High School Students who read this paper: This paper was Written for you. Other people will get it. Other people will read it. We hope they will like it; but it was made for you. If you do not find it worth while, we have Wasted our efforts. We do not advertise our school very much. No one has spoken to you in assembly about why you should come to the Bellingham Normal. No one has sent you a catalog except at the request of yourself or your friends. No one in official position here has talked to you about coming to our Normal. We are not going to do it, either. Some friend of yours here at Normal handed in your name as one who might like to come here next year. We have undertaken to tell you the things that you might wish to know if you should come to school. They are the things that we as students think you would appreciate. The other things, the required courses,, the faculty, the graduates of former years, such things can be found in the catalog. Some people think of normal schools as narrow-—We don't Want you to think that. About half of our subjects are non-professional. Many students come here who never intend to teach and who hardly take a required course. What do they take? Botany, zoology, chemistry, if they are interested in science. Art courses, basketry, advanced work in water colors and pastels, if they are interested in art. Mechanical drawing, machine design, carpentry, if they are interested in manual arts. Many things in many departments, if they are interested in doing so. Other people, think of normals as "sissy" schools, where no self respecting boy would go... If you are inclined to think that way, look up our athletic record. Inquire around. There are many grade school and high school coaches scattered around over the state who got their start right here at B. S. N. S. They are proud of it. ''•'? This paper is to tell you what you would like to know, to correct any false impressions you may have had about us, and Ao-boost our Normal as honestly as possible: We hope you like it:—The Editor. Bellingham Unrivaled in Variety of Scenic Attractions for Visitors Students Listen to Talks Given by Poets,, Sociologists, and Scientists Speaking on equally wide-spread subjects a large and varied group of lecturers have addressed the student body in the past year. Outstanding figures among these have undoubtedly been Caii Sandburg, Tom Skeyhill, Boy Chapman Andrews, Lew Sarett, and Edward'T. Devine. These five, more than any others, have left a deep impression on the students, both as a body and as- individuals. Poet Lectures. Carl Sandburg, famous Illinois poet and author of "Abraham Lincoln. The Prairie Years," spoke here January 15. His discussion of Lincoln, the reading of his own poetry, and his charmingly informal banjo-playing and singing gave the audience a .glimpse of a great poet and left the feeling that poets are, after all, very human. Tom Skeyhill, w or Id- traveler, ex- Fascist, poet, and lecturer, turned a new light on world affairs when he spoke on "Mussolini and the Black Shirts," January 20. This dramatic lecture has been described as a magic spell which transports an entire audience to Italy for the hour. With the aid of motion pictures and slides, Boy Chapman Andrews, lectured for over two hours" February 24 on his world famous expedition to-the Gobi Desert. Series of Lectures. Edward T. Devine, dean of the graduate school of the University at Washington, D. C, gave Normal students a most practical series of lectures on contemporary social problems and recent nationalistic revolutions, during the entire week, April 4 to April 8. Perhaps the speaker that held the greatest appeal for the students, first shaking the balcony with laughter and then holding over the audience a tense stillness during which no one dared whisper or move—was Lew Sarett, the "Poet of the Wilderness," who spoke here March 18, the last day of the winter quarter. The audience was charmed not only by his poetry and by his appreciation of nature and the great out-of-doors, but by the last few minutes of his talk, when he "struck right home" with his story of the college student's vacation, showing the. thoughtless way in which parents are often treated. .

It is here that old man Puget scooped -out his sound and planted the hundreds of islands clad. in. wooded loveliness, surrounded by the mighty waters of the Pacific, sometimes calm, blue and peaceful in the warm rays of sunshine; sometimes a sullen gray beneath menacing clouds, again whipped into choppy white caps, throwing fine spray into the air.. Here are the many coves and harbors that have been etched out through years of wave and tide; here the great seaport that, offers its shelter to ships that sail the seven seas. Warmed by the Japanese current, most of the larger islands are covered with little farms. The smaller ones still support the native evergreens.

League New Organization. The recent Women's League election at which Margaret McCoy was : elected to succeed Dorothy Envin, retiring president, marked the third birthday of that organization. It is a lusty infant. Since it was founded in 1924 it has grown into . one of the inost constructive and influential organizations on the campus. . The League attempts to make the school life of the woman student more pleasant and more fruitful, to help her to make the most of the opportunities offered at the Belling-ham Normal, and to furnish activities which Mill provide her with diversion and relaxation from the strain, of school work. Looks Out for Strangers. A "Big Sister" system is maintained; every girl who comes to the Normal a stranger is given a sophomore "Sister" to help her over the trying time that comes before she begins to feel at home and t ° niake her own friends. The work of the Women's League is grouped into several divisions, with a committee directing the activities of each field. There are eight of these standing committees. Under the Fellowship committee the work of meeting the trains and caring for the stranger is done. Publishes Booklet. Each year the standards committee compiles and publishes a booklet containing general information regarding the necessary expenses of the school year, a booklet of,great value to both new and prospective students. The Social committee supervises the social events sponsored by the League. One informal dance for the girls living outside of Edens Hall, the dormitory, is given each quarter. Other affairs under the direction of this committee are various teas, parties, and mixers. Encourages Scholarship. Each quarter a banner is awarded to the women's house which leads in scholarship, by the League, through the scholarship committee. The Leadership committee awards a similar banner for distinction in its field. Other standing committees are: Social Service, Program, and Election. Officers for next year were elected a few weeks ago and appearances indicate that the League will take an even higher place in school activities next year than it did this year P R E S I D E N T C . H . F I S H ER To whom much of the credit for the recent growth of ihe Bellingham Normal is due. Mr. Fisher came here in !923 and since that time he has worked unceasingly for the growth of the institution. He has reorganized much of the curriculum and has been most active in support of the building program. The students know they can trust him to be always on th; alert to help them to get the best offered in normal education. Mr. Fisher is now on his Way East to hire some instructors for next year. DRAMATIC NUMBERS SHOWN AT NORMAL DURING PAST YEAR Moroni Olsen and Radford Art Players Show at Normal During Year EDENS HALL VIEW OF LUMMI ISLAND Drama forms a constant source of interest at the Norma I. Each quarter the student body, through the Drama Club, puts on a play, and every quarter, sometimes oftener, outside dramatic talent is presented. This year has seen some excellent productions. Favorites of every season are the Moroni Olsen Players of Salt Lake City. They have appeared twice this year. In the fall quarter they presented James Barrie's delightful comedy "Dear Brutus," and in the winter quarter, "Outward Bound", a dramatic story of souls outward bound on an unknown sea. The Moroni Olsen players have appeared at the Normal each season for several years and never fail to draw a capacity crowd. ' "Disraeli" Presented. An'outstanding event of the fall quarter was the presentation of "Disraeli" by the 'Radford Art players, of Tacoma. The story of international conspiracy was made doubly interesting by the excellent character portrayal of the actors and by the lovely old-fashioned costumes. Additional outside dramatic numbers of interest were two readers of national prominence. Maude Scheer-er, director of the Studio of Drama, of New York, appeared in the fall quarter. She read two plays with such skill that the audience could almost see the characters on the stage. Ruth Draper, famous character artist, gave a group of original Drama Club Gives Four Well Known Plays Every Year For the students who wish to participate in dnuua while in school the Drama Club has been organized. In it is concentrated the dramatic talent of the student body. Try-outs for membership are held every quarter and anyone who obtains a part in one of the quarterly plays automatically' becomes a member ORGANIZATIONS AID IN SOCIAL GROWTH Clubs Classed According to Aims; Several New Groups Have Organized Lately.

The play for the winter quarter was "Milestones," the study of a family history through three generations, from the hoop-skirt period to the present day. It gave the players an excellent opportunity in character portrayal, especially in the parts which changed from youth to old age. Comedy Now in Preparation. Tlie club is now working on an entirely different type of play, "Three Live Ghosts", a lively comedy full of cockney parts which test the actors' ability. It will be presented two days during commencement week. Because of the continual change of Literature and Music Developed The aim of the literary club is, in general, to improve their members in literaturs, music and social attainments. During the past year one of the activities of some of these clubs has been to make a detailed study of an author and his works, the work being carried on through the entire quarter. . The departmental clubs have a large variety of interests. They further activities and interests in the study of music and musicians, authors and writing, the study of political situations and world relationships, photography, debate and extempore contests, camp fire and scout work, plays and play productions, athletics, hiking, and religious study. The social clubs sponsor teas, danc-enrollment, the casts of the plays ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 May 20 Supplement - Page 3 ---------- tltiii Dea» of Men Regulates Housing S »f Men Students—Many ^ Eat at Edens Hall. Housing conditions for the women of the school are in charge of the Dean of Women's office. No girl is allowed to live at a house which the Bean has not investigated and found fit. Working conditions are regulated for those who must work all or part of their way while in school. Meals, study, and sleeping hours are so regulated as to keep the girl as efficient as possible whiie in Normal. , On the edge of the campus stands Edens Hall, a beautiful school home for the younger girls. No girl over twenty-five is allowed to live there because it is thought that the as sociations of dormitory life will be more beneficial to the younger ones. Homes Approved by Dean. A9 Edens Hall accommodates but a hiadred and twenty-five girls, and as yet there is no other dormitory, the Dean of Women approves of certain homes near the Normal where the rest of the girls may live. For these homes a set of rules have been formulated very similar to the rules in force at the Hall. Some of them are: Any student leaving a house or dormitory during the evening shall write her name, destination, and the time, in a book provided for the purpose. When she returns she shall mark the time in the book. This book is inspected at intervals by the Dean's office. Students are asked to retire at 10 p. m. on week and Sunday nights, and by twelve on week-end nights.. The night before a holiday is the same at:_a Week-end night. Special, permission to study later, or to attend other than school functions is in charge of the house mother, subject to some regulations. Office Finds Work for Those Who Need It. Positions for the girl who must work all or part of her way are found through the Dean of Women's office and are subject to her control. Bellingham is larger than the cities where most Normal schools and colleges are found and the opportunities for a person to work his or her. way are relatively greater. ' The men of the school are aided, and their housing regulated, by the offiee of the Dean of Men. Most . of the students who neither live in town nor work, eat at Edens Hall, though there are opportunities for either boarding or housekeeping elsewhere. More skulls are cracked yearly in automobile wrecks, than by thinking. ilillH^^B IIIHHHHBI Intra-MuralSports;-Pi^ 1 Part in Normal ^Ahletics At Bellingham ;' ALL HAVE CHANCE Coach Sam Carver Has Turned Out Many Championship Teams Lately: DRAMATIC NUMBERS SHOWN AT NORMAL (Continued from Page Two) sketches during the" winter quarter.

Its purpose is to' promote the interests and activities of all student clubs and to see that the clubs conform to the standards laid down by the Student Organization Council. This council also schedules the dates for the different club activities. The Council intends to publish a pamphlet giving the requirements for entrance, aims, and membership of the various clubs on the campus. This book will be ready for. the new students next fall. Despatches dealing with brigandage, civilwar, anti-foreignism, commercial propaganda, tariff reform, and all the ugly activities of foreign powers have ben displayed as a daily diet for our confused reading public, to the detriment of international decency, wholesome outlook on relations with our neighbors and an established equilibrium of that sentiment, and ultimate behavior. Thinking—what atrocious blunders are commited in thy name. CONSTRUCTION OF NEW LIBRARY MARKS FIRST STEP IN NORMAL'S BUILDING PLAN-OTHER PROJECTS TO FOLLOW New Gymnasium, Two Training School Buildings, Men's and Women's Dormitories, New Auditorium, Chimes Tower, Sylvan Theater, Additional Athletic Field, and Several NeW Tennis Courts Are Anticipated. With the construction of the new library now under way on the campus the first great step toward the realization of the twenty-five year plan which was made two years ago has been taken. The plan is becoming a thing of brick and-concrete and the people of the school and state are every day becoming more interested in it. The tennis courts which are being laid on High Street, are another visible result. At the next session of the legislature, says President Fisher, the school will begin working for a new gymnasium. That is the second big-step. After-that it is planned to erect the new buildings, unit by unit, as rapidly as funds will permit. Junior High Contemplated. A new and modern training school building will follow the gymnasium. This will include a Junior High School building. The lack of the Junior High School is keenly felt and it is hoped that it may be added in the next three or four years at the most. With the increasing student population it will become necessary to provide more accommodations and two dormitories, a men's and a women's will be asked for. A second athletic field will be built, and several more tennis courts. Other structures which are looked forward to are a spacious auditorium, a Chimes Tower, and a Sylvan Theater. Buildings to be Permanent. All the new units will be of permanent construction, designed with the aim of beauty and utility for many years to come. For the past year the gardener has been busy altering the campus so that it will fit the buildings which are to be put there in the future. The trees have been regrouped and new ones planted. As a result, no trees will hamper the view of the new library. New walks are to be laid this summer, and the .one to the library is planned and will be laid as soon as it is possible to do so without interfering with the library construction. Although still referred to as the twenty-five year plan, in the light of recent developments it is possible that the actual time of completion of the buildings and improvements included in it may be much sooner. (Continued From Page One) sity of Washington, and Dr. Brode, teacher of Animal Biology, is from Whitman College. Either of these courses grants thirteen credits for the nine weeks. The credits may be used as the freshman science requirement at the Normal. Students who have taken the classes are enthusiastic in praise of their usefulness. They claim that to a student who expects to go on in scientific work the study and association gained at Friday Harbor are invaluable. The session will begin June 20, this year, and will last for nine weeks. Probably no one is in favor of this modem mania of turning bad people into good people at a moment's notice. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCENIC TRIPS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED (Continued From Page Two) the North. The Sucia Islands are of interesting geological structure and are rich in fossils. They have been recently turned into fox farms and are not visited so much as formerly. Quaint Canadian City Wear One trip on the Sound leads to Victoria, a city which seems very quaint to the visitor from the States. It can be visited in a day and for five dollars although two days and ten dollars is more satisfactory. About sixty miles from Bellingham is Vancouver, a" Canadian city as modern as Victoria is old fashioned. It is rapidly becoming world famous for its parks. It is one of the most popular destinations of holiday autoists. The region described is about sixty miles square and contains enough points of interest to keep the average student busy for three hundred bright Sundays should he undertake to explore them all. FIELD WORK COURSE OFFERED AT NORMAL Sports and athletics play an important part in school life at the Bellingham Normal. Varsity teams represent the school in five major sports—football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis—and have established an enviable record among the minor colleges of Washington. Intramural sports play an important part in Viking athletics, thus giving any students who wish to play a chance to, even though they cannot give the time or energy necessary for the Varsity team. Last winter in the Intra-Mural Basketball;; League seven teams were entered, consisting of clubs and independent teams. Anyone attending the Bellingham Normal will' be given a chance to take part in some sport. During the spring quarter, Intradural tennis, horseshoes, and handball are featured. Vikings Rank High Under the able leadership of Sam Carver, Viking coach, high grade teams are turning out at the Normal every year. A year hardly goes by without annexing a few more trophies for high athletic accomplishments. Games are scheduled with Ellensburg and Cheney Normals, and also Avith other minor colleges of the state and the U. of W-'Frosh.' During this last school year, the Vikings were nosed out of the football title, but came back later to make pi-actically a clean sweep of basketball and at the present time it looks as if the baseball pennant Avas a cinch. The Vikings have a strong .tennis team to uphold the remarkable- record they "have- made in the net pastime and they seem to have about an even chance to cop the honors in track. They have won the Tri-Normal Track title for the past tAVo years, and hopes; are high that they will dp as.well oh Waldo field tomorrow. Athletic Facilities Good An excellent gridiron where the football games are played, a baseball diamond, and a track are located on Waldo Field adjacent to the school. The track is" a quarter mile, with a 220 yard straight away. There are tAvo temporary gymnasiums at the present time and the next appropriation asked Avill be for a hew one, an addition of great value to the institution. Three cement tennis courts are in use at the present time and three asphalt ones are soon to be completed. It is the aim of the school to provide recreation in the form of athletics for every student. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 May 20 Supplement - Page 4 ---------- ^^^^i^^SSiftlliSllS i Jlijtlifill llftf 5re^KEww§ftiRirsonS Enrolled^ at':.

Throughout the grades, which range from the kindergarten t o t he eighth, much attention is paid to the social development of t h e child. Beginning in t h e pre-priniary, training in citizenship is given in t he free activity and social science periods and i t is carried on i n to t he eighth in t h e form of community civics by t h e school service club. All t h e work is s t a r t e d with t he idea t h a t it will be carried further in the n e x t grade. This tends to give the children interest not only in their own work but in t h e work of every other grade in school, bringing about a very t r u e spirit of co-operation. 'The Junior Messenger," at t he close of each semester, is published by t h e 8th grade with the help of t he other grades. The work is done under the supervision of a Normal student teacher assisted by Miss Crawford, teacher of t h e eighth. Lower grades make contributions and collect the news for t h e reporter who is assigned t o them. The reporters are eighth grade children. The paper partakes of t h e n a t u r e of an annual, giving a history of t h e semester, t h e names of graduates, and having a space for signatures of friends, teachers and classmates. Assembly is Held . One hour each week all t h e grades of the t r a i n i n g school meet together for an assembly. lt; A g r e a t variety of entertainment is furnished, almost all of i t by t h e children themselves, and t h e r e s t by outside talent. Each grade, sometime during the year, puts on a play or some other form of entertainment. In these plaj's the children work out their own dramatizations, settings, and costumes, correlating the work, with their school subjects. Sometimes reports are given. Each grade tells the r e s t what it is doing in some special subject. Often the assembly hour is spent in listening to musical a r t i s t s and occasionally the hour is given over to group singing. Bellingham is a city of many industries, interesting history, and fascinating natural location. These facts are t a k e n advantage of in t he t r a i n i n g school by t r i p s which stimulate x ) 0 w e r s °f observation and intelligent interest in t h e life around them, and help t o develop a scientific a t t i t u d e . Once each year towards the end of the second semester a' d a y is set aside for play. On t h a t day the children all bring their lunches and eat on t h e campus. After lunch they spend a few hours in play. The children in t h e p r i m a r y grades play t he games they have enjoyed in their gymnasium work while the older children divide themselves into teams and play competitive games. The training school is looking forward, as indeed is t h e whole ^formal, t o the time when i t will be housed in separate buildings, large enough to hold many more students and w i th one of t h em equipped for Junior High school work. It is planned t o have two divisions of each grade, in sepa r a t e rooms, and to use one for observation and t h e other for practice teaching. Annual Girls' Field Day Will Be Held on Saturday, June Fourth Plans are being made for t h e annual Girls' Field Day which will be held this year on S a t u r d a y , J u n e 4th.

Summer Students to Derive Benefit From New Court Three tennis courts are being cons t r u c t e d on t h e Student Association lots on High street. Two of them are t o be completed before the middle of J u n e when t h e summer quart e r will begin. The o t h e r is t o be built over a fill which must be allowed to settle before it is completed. They will be made of asphalt, one of t h e best available materials for tennis courts. It does not crack, as concrete does, provides a good surface, and is sufficiently resilient to be easy on t h e p l a y e r ' s feet. Bleachers to Be Made. Bleachers for t h e accommodation of spectators will be built on two sides of t h e court space. This will be appreciated by those who enjoy watching tournament and intercollegiate games. There will be about three times as much end space as there is on the present courts, making i t almost impossible for one player to slam t h e ball beyond his opponent's reach. The completion of these three courts will bring the number owned by t he Normal t o six, a s many as any school of t h e same size in t h e s t a t e .
