The lecture will be illustrated with several thousand feet of motion pictures— the official record of the fateful attempt to ascend the "Monarch of the Himalayas", which resulted in the death of two members of the party, Mallory and Irvine when but a few hundred feet from the summit of the mountain. ; . "Epic of Everest" The "Epic of Everest" will be graphically presented by Captain Noel, who has had unlimited exper-ience aB a photographer with mountain climbing expeditions. His story of 1924 expedition i s one of strange and heroic adventures, of a great struggle against _ terrific natural forces amid cold and tempest, in the rarified; atmosphere on the very roof of the world. I t is a story of failures and triumphs, and through the aid of 'the motion picture camera. Captain iSJpel brings a complete and graphic -record not only of the ascent, but also of quaint, mystic Tibet—the Unknown. V Through Tibet The expedition, in preparation for i t s climb," traversed parts of Tibet which no white man had been permitted to enter before.^ There were found many strange people, little knows to the outside world, with odd customs and leading sensual lives. H To travel over Tibet, the Unfriendly, to visit the fortress monasteries of the~Lamas, to venture into valleys, snowfields and glaciers never before seen by man, and finally to ; .climb to the top of the world's high- ':'• est peak—these were the reasons for : the 1924 Mt. Everest Expedition, and •Captain Noel has succeeded in bringing back with him,, the story of its experiences. . /.f"v.- •'•:.; ^o— — Mixed Quartet of 1 ^ to Sing | Friday Assembly ^Sinclair Island the new i-bdge ftome of the W.

It is the Freshman Futuristic Frolic. Good music, good refreshments, and a good time are promised by the general committee, of which Wilfred Reeves is chairman. Said Chairman Reeves, in speaking of the frolic, "We will have the best orchestra in Northwest Washington. Those, who do not dance as well as those who do are urged to attend. The Sophomore boys and the faculty :are cordially invited." Freshman President Stanley Thompson, in commenting upon the party, stated: "This is our first opportunity to get together as .a class unit. We should take advantage of this opportunity and develop a "Heiio" spirit which will carry us as a unified body during our brief two years in this school." The frolic is being arranged by five committees~work'ing the general committee. The committees and chairmen's names follows: General, Wilfred Reeves; decorations, Kath; erine Reese; games, Rose Brooks; refreshments, Elizabeth Gable; advertising and invitations, Vernon Vine; cleanup, Leonard Rodland. The frolic as J t s name implies, is to be futuristic. The scheme of decoration, program,: and other details, are to follow the same trend. No admittance is to be charged, except for those freshmen who have not paid their. dues, reports Class- Treasurer Cox. The admittance for these will be. twenty-five ; cents. • An audience which filled the Normal auditorium to capacity, saw the Moroni Olsen Players present "Lilies of the Field" Tuesday evening.

There is a contest to decide which shall have which and one of the girls, Elizabeth, masquerades as an old fashioned girl to win the coveted trip, and is forced to keep up the masque w h i l e in London.

McNeil , Mae Barbo Millard Sutherlen Fred Schwan' What sort of turnout will there be; for the Viking's final football game of the season? What sort of. game will the team play- against the University of Washington Supervarsity tomorrow on Waldo Field? - The big game is over, the championship has been lost, homecoming is a matter of history. What difference will it make whether Bellingham wins or loses, whether the crowd is out there to cheer? Last Saturday we demonstrated our enthusiasm. We turned out, a large crowd; we cheered, it was good cheering ;^we proved that we have pep. But this -week it won't matter. I want to go home anyway, or go shopping. But it will make a difference whether we turn out to see the game, whether the team plays to win. It will prove the quality of bur loyalty, the loyalty we heard so much about last week. If we show that same loyalty tomorrow, if the team fights as though it had the same incentive as before even though we should again lose, we will yet be the winners, winners in a bigger sense than the difference in the score. The winning or losing of a football game, or even a Tri-Normal Championship can mean little if it does not bring out in a school that quality of undauntable loyalty, the unquenchable spirit of "fight" which defeaf only intensifies. m BjrBARNEY ... There is some consolation in knowing that Bellingham Normal stands by her convictions and lives up to the standards she sets, even at the cost of a football game and a championship.. Two men, regulars on the Viking team, were declared ineligible just before the Ellensburg game. Everyone knew how hard a game it would be, how much we desired to win. Yet, knowing that the loss of these two men might cost us the victory, these men were still kept out, one of whom might have been eigible had the committee not interpreted the rules so closely in their effort to abide by the "letter" as Well as the "spirit." Had these two men been able to play they might have changed defeat to victory, thir loss at least was keenly felt. But if this school can come to have the reputation of insisting upon high scholarship standards from its athletic representatives it will gain far more than a whole bag of tri- Normal Championships. In the present case we at least won the "morai" victory from Ellensburg. The new attendance system has been in effect for nearly a week, yet things appear to go on around school just about as usual. The innovation as yet has not occasioned rioting or mass protest.meetings. In the Student Body, however, a new attitude can be sensed.. Instead of the old attitude of "Let's cut classes, we can turn in an excuse that will get by," it now is: "Gosh, I don't dare cut. My grades are low enough now". At least the value of class attendance has been raised. The hew scheme calls upon the student to place relative values upon class attendance or the value of doing some other thing at that time. Yet some of us are hoping for the time when the responsibility will be placed entirely on the student as to whether he thinks class attendance is more worth while than something else, by not providing any penalty for missing class.

Messenger reporters were fortunate in being able to interview this great social Jeader on his return here for home-coming festivities. Mr. Waffle holds the position of Instructor of Social Ethics in one of Chuckanut's largest schools. We shall always remember with what fervor he addressed us in his speeches on shorter hours and longer dresses for manicurists. Especially will we remember hi8 original idea for success. His slogan is "Dress Well and Succeed." He also says it pays to look well even though you feel like the devil. Hooray for the class of '89!

David, it J seems, had just killed a fellow-sailor in a bra^yl and in saving Shelley's life he felt somewhat justified, so that Jasper, the murdered sailor, was thrown overboard, dressed . in Shelley's clothes and bearing Shelley's books. Shelley assumes the name of Shiloh, given by David, and together they set out in search of the lovely Lady Silver, Jasper's little sister. Shiloh ever carries her miniature with him, gazing often at the eyes described as being "full of a soft darkness, like the patterned eyes upon the"wings of moths". David and Shiloh go to Louisville, Kentucky, and later they set out along the dangerous trail to California. Behind them they leave fierce Indian tribes, bountiful food, supplies, and several young women who, as usual, have fallen hopelessly in love with Shiloh As a pair of tramps they score again and again in remarkable adventures among all sorts of people, with gorgeous backgrounds of the early years of the 19th. century, in America. •Shiloh is a lone figure, facing life as if he were a spirit of the wind instead of a -real .human being. In the conclusion his wild spirit is expressed as he looks out over the blue waters of the Pacific ocean. "Last night he had been tired,: but now he was not tired or troubled in any way; he sat under the pale blue sky in the 'center of a circle of golden rays, and these were paths leading to the ends of the earth; or little:pqths /eading; (6; a cTiurc/r or_ a frienA^i^ja^^tin^ilace^^he rainbowsi'liirideT gt;.: the'}!cUffs broke; with arthuhderous music among crystal flakes; andA the nrnsic!

BELUNGHAM. WASHINGTON mmmmm mm STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Strong Playing of Opponents Sends Fighting Local Squad to Defeat After Early Powerful Showing. IS T H I R D STATE TITLE Locals Take Lead in First Canto But Lose Winning Chances in Blocked Punt Rolling over Goal With the coveted state tri-normal gril title within their grasp, Coach Sam Carver's band of fighting Vikings faltered in the final half of their * crucial homecoming battle with the Ellensburg Wildcats Saturday on Waldo field, permitting the Wildcats to pile up twelve winning points and return to their eastern Washington domicile with the mythical crown safely in their possession. The Vikings fought like true Norsemen, but were unable »to withstand the ferocious offensive attack of "Sandy" Sandberg's proteges whose two touchdowns in.the ebbing half of the fray more than offset the lone • six point marker annexed by the Blue and White in the initial period. Ellensburg proved herself a worthy title holder, by virtue of her spectacular comeback in the last half, before a capacity crowd of loyal .Viking supporters. After "Chuck" Erickson. flashy Viking back tossed - a well-directed forward pass over the Wildcat defense into the arms of Stans Thompson, halfback who loped the remaining distance to a touchdown, in the ": opening canto, prospects for a hilltop victory were exceedingly.bright. ' - An unexpected tufn of events in the third period threw the Blue and White eleven on the defensive. Snatching a long spiral-pass an Ellensburg tackle wove his way • through the Viking's secondary defense to the 1-yard mark. Coach Sam Carver's stonewall line held for two downs but on the third play the champs went over for a touchdown. Their try-for-point was blocked. With a victory in sight the heralded Wildcat offense broke loose and ripped its way through the hill-toppers, carrying the .oval deep into the Viking's territory. The invaders, however, were unable to^ smash through the line or "dash around the ends for a touchdown and it was not until the final canto, when the gridders from Eastern Washington taking advantage of an unforeseen break, scored the deciding touchdown. Captain -Harold Hawkings' punt from deep in his territory was blocked by a charging Wildcat lineman and was pounced upon behind ;the goal line by an Ellensburg play-that gave the champs the contest, er. The blocked punt was the break In a futile attempt to even matters up, the Vikings took to the air in the waning.moments of play, and long passes literally filled the air. Here again the breaks were against them, for jus£ as their aerial drive would get under way, an intercepted pass would throw a monkey wrench into the Blue and White.' offense. • Not withstanding their rather discouraging defeat, Bellingham played a commendable brand of football. The forward wall played its usual stonewall game and the backfield at times played brilliant football. Inability on the part of the secondary defense to check the, Ellensburg for- •vrard passing attack and on the part of the Viking safety man to return ' punts, was largely responsible for the outcome.. ; Professor: "What does 'A' mean ;i» chemistry?"

STANFORD. U, S. G. RACINGJOR TITLE Both Teams Face Hard Games and Previous Performances Predict Struggle for Championship. Stanford University and the University of Southern California, today, stand out as the leading contenders in tile race for Pacific Coast title. The Cardinals returned to California with the scalps "of the Washington Huskies tucked securely under their belt, only after one of the toughest- games of the season. Stanford won 13-7. . But Stanford faces two more games this season, which will be hard ones, although the Cards are doped to take both. Saturday, in a non-conference game, they meet Santa Clara and the next week they meet their ancient rivals, the California Bears, in what is termed "The big game of the Season" on the Coast. Stanford should win this game on the face of present showing, because the Cardinal backfield and the tremendous strength of their line are too much foiv the weaker bear eleven. Although idle last week, the Trojans, of the University of Southern California face some hard games' in the rest of their schedule. JMext Saturday they play Colorado, then they tackle Notre Dame at Chicago, November 2G, and as a fitting climax for the season they will meet the Washington Huskies at Los Angeles. The Vandals, of Idaho, is another team to be reckoned with, as thev are not yet out of the race. To date, the Vandals are undefeated, but they have played two tie games: an early season scoreless tie with the University of Oregon and a 3 to 3 tie last Saturday with St. Mary's, although the latter' was a non-conference game Parents Discuss P. T. A. Council Training School Dr. Ruth Boring. Thomas-Explains Health Examinations Children Were Given. Pres. Fisher Talks One hundred" and ten parents attended a meeting of the mothers of the pupils in the Training school, which was held Wednesday afternoon. At this meeting, Dr. Ruth Boring Thomas, who examined the children of the school earlier' in the year, spoke on the significance of the health examinations given and emphasized the more recent points of health examinations and a w ll child. Individual health cards for each pupil filled out by Doctor Thomas, were given to each parent, and cards were mailed to those mothers who were not present. These cards indicated the presence of abnormal conditions or defects in the following items, as regards height, weight, and normal weight: nutrition, posture, teeth, tonsils, glands, thyroid, eyes, nose, ears, skin, feet, heart, lungs. Dr. Thomas asserted that there was no cause for the continuance of such diseases as diphtheria and smallpox, and brought out many other points of interest in regards to child health. President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal, explained the presence and work of the training school in a teacher training institution. He demonstrated the use' of the best known methods which have been worked out by science in regards to the type of education with which the training school is interested Mrs. Dolan,'president of the Central council of the Bellingham Parent Teachers Association spoke on the organizatin of -a Parent Teachers W. A. A. Names Toad Lake as Destination for' Tomorrow's Hike Saturday morning at 7:55 those who are going on the Women's Athletic Association's hike to-.

Super-varsity team, which will be played on Waldo Field at 2:30, the girls' will return to Bellingham by noon. Those who wish to go must sign on the sports' bulletin board in the basement. group for tne -framing school. She told th meeting that the type of parents present indicated that the council if organized, would add much to the force of the whole organization. She also spoke on the child clinic of the society, school thrift work, humane activities, and the instruction of foreign born mothers. Miss Mary E.

Si? •gatsSJSsfs Cartoons have recently been the subject of much discussion and experiment in the Eighth. A training school grade. The students have been drawing cartoons on current subjects, after which they criticize the efforts. To do this they are displayed through .a projectoscope and explained by the youthful artists. ! The plan was originated by the bulletin board committee of the students' service club.' John Shields, chairman of the committee, stated: "The experiment turned out successfully." Miss Bertha- Crawford, train-ing'teacher, stated: "From a standpoint of development .of originality, and putting ideas in graphic form, it has created-a hew interest in this, and also in current questions." The children, in addition to their "discussion of their own work, considered what characterized a true car-, toop, how it differed from an ordinary, sketch,-and what its use is. The 'students' cartoons have been posted on screens about the walls of the class room. ;pyutf;^^ l j b ^ v o i | t i^ i e r t a i i n e ^ W p ^ ;|^Pheraon^'!ihep advisOT;^ ^Miss; Mcr F ^ o t f i b r b u ^ h t : / ^ e r i ; ^ ^ n ? j M i : ^ : i ^ w ^ q a n d ^ M ^ her trip to Lohgview and to Weuat^ ch^e, where • ; y y i ^ 3 ^ ' ' 4 ^ « ,^M^a were^held.: i ''•••; •:-./:-'V^'.'i-.,. v^'V-;-^'-'-^,:-i : ^Plainsi were niiadei for a/"Social" to be held i n i t h e ^ R u r a l J ^ w l ^ ' e v ^ a^ Ingof November 16c Themembers are lookingforward - t o this with much-ahtteipatidn for a good time. Mr. WiUiams Tries New Experiment History 1A Cmirse Mx. Pelagius Williams is (trying out this Quarter an experiment with his section in History la A group council has been formed consisting of representatives from each of the four sections taking the course; The general purpose, of the plan is to secure, through the. class representatives, the attitudes and points of view of the class groups in regard to tlie course and its conduct, to secure closer contact between the instructor and the students and to develop a group conscientiousness of purpose and work. Frequent council meetings are held at which free and frank discussions over textbook, tests, assignments, reports any student participating, and other matters pertaining to the course are entered into. \ "This is a day of democracy," says Ttfr. Williams, "The principle of representation in the student extra - curricular activities is well established. Why should not the college : course also be included? A8 a matter of fact the student has a very large concern in the courses of study for which he is enrolled for his success or-failure in them determines his future scholastic and professional career. If he has some voice through his (representatives in ' determining the different elements tht constitute his course he will feel better satisfied with the results, whatever they, may be, than if they were autocratically imposed At any rate the experiment seems worth trying out." —o Eighth Grade Pays Visit to Plant of Local Newspaper by/^Ber^^^ •'a^Hfelen^Nieli^ nihg.

The classroom discussion followed a trip to the plant of the Bellingham Herald, which was taken on Monday. The tour through the establishment was made possible through the courtesy of Mr.. Frank Sefrit, managing editor of the paper. The visit included all the departments of the business, though the interest of the students centered mainly around the printing division. The construction of the presses, their speed/weight, and mode of use was of especial attraction to the •children.. Other items which drew their attention were the linotype machines, tlieir operation and part in making the paper; and the engraving department. The process of making a mat from copy, and the placing of words on the mat was exceedingly interesting to some of the pupils, while sjtill other children expressed amazement at the amount of. materials used in the publication of a modern daily paper. Questions were asked concerning the rapidity with which extra editions can be published. Great sui-prise was .elicited" when the students were informed gt;that an extra can be placed on the streets in twenty minutes/ The expedience necessary to the publication of the regular dailies also .impressed tlie students: Cartooning and ;the organization of: the As-; spciated Press were Mother; things^ in which the students displayed marked interest..^;V{;-7:'-:'-:•• •:vV^".:'{.v^.v.
