W.-L. | Honorable William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States, and former president, just yesterday told delegates at a convention of his college fraternity that in his opinion extra-curricular duties were "carried to a great extreme" and that "we must get our public and private schools down to a simpler curriculum." The elderly jurist, who makes speeches only rarely, joked with his audience which included such eminent men as: Secretary of State Simpson, five noted senators, and others of national prominence. He struck a serious note on the "slump" in scholarship. However, he explained that "the war played havoc with a great many conceptions, and we havn't gotten over it yet." The chief justice observed that many students went to school for "social reasons" and sometimes "to establish themselves by reason of the fact that they are called college women." And so while the grand old man of the American judiciary frets about the over-ameunt of extracurricular activities burdening the under-grad, scores of schools the country over are offering more than ever opportunities for all in the extra- curricular activities Many ef us here feel that we belong to too many clubs and organizations. Let's see—how many is just the right number. A few say "belong to five of six of them." More point out the benefits derived from being a conscientious member of two, and not more than three clubs. The band of opinion is * wide. But we can notice that the many-club member is more or less of an 'honorary' member to the clubs that give him the least satisfaction. Columns may be writt e n on the club problems.—but it is well to notice that the member-at-heart gets the most enjoyment of his club life at this "Normal-by-the- Mountains and the Sea." The latter group, nuclei of true fellowship, are planning for the most part in keeping their respective organizations together during the summer session and to welcome back the old-timers into a renewal of friendships and good times. -W.

Wisteria and Japanese lanterns transformed the room into a place of Orinetal beauty. Gorgeous pah-eds, portraying ;Japanese figures and scenes covered the walls. Punch was served from a charming pagoda. Stark's orchestra furnished the music for the dances which were the dances which were appropriately named in true Oriental style, such as Pekin Drag, the Tokyo Tap and the Ginricksha Trot. Dance Is Success Credit for the success of the dance should be extended to Jane L'Eveque, social chairman; Jessie Grieve, chairman of the decoration committee: Marion Snyder, Virginia Caulke, Elizabeth Gable, and Margaret Lee, chairmen respectively of the program, refreshment, music, and clean-up committees. Patrons and patronesses were Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Grace Sullivan, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad. INTERESTING DRAMA WILL BE PRODUCED Leading Roles Well Handled by the Cast of the Drama Club in Their Play "Icebound". Next Friday night the Drama club will present its quarterly play "Icebound", a heavy dramatic plot originated by Owen Davis. "The play is rounding into shape very rapidly. All the acts are running along smoothly. It could easily have been produced this week but the additional week's practice will make it even better," stated Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, director of the play. In spite of the heavy dramatic situations that arise, the play is sprinkled throughout with bits of humor which add an enlivening touch to the strained atmosphere. The play ends happily for all concerned when Jane, the servant girl, finally makes them all see the true light and the Jordan family change their natures and the atmosphere that has pervaded the family for generations is finally melted and they are no longer "Icebound." Individuality in Leads Great individuality is shown on the part of the leading characters in the portrayal of their diverse roles. Sadie Fellows, played by Dorothy Sasse, is "worn to skin and bones" in her desperate attempts to get some of the Jordan money supposedly to support her small boy, Oran Fellows, whose part is taken by Lafe. Berg, from the Training school. Catherine Morse takes the part of Ella Jordan, the spinster sister who has been slaving all of her life"just like a nigger," making hats. Kern and Chichester Lead Ben Jordan, Barney Chichester, the black sheep of the Jordan family, returns to his home on a New England farm to find his mother's house waiting news of her death. (Continued on Page Four) WESTMINSTER GlEE SINGERS E N T H STUDENT ASSEMBLY Famous English Singers Present Interesting Program «n Tuesday, May 29. BOY SOPRANO Boy Sopranos Are Attractive Feature of the Company Which Has Toured the World. '' I n what was purported to be one of the best received and most appreciated assembly programs of the year, The Westminster Glee Singers offered one of their programs in last Tuesday's assembly. Seated or standing in various informal attitudes about an improvised drawing-room, these celebrated English vocalists gave an impression of free dom and ease which, is usually lacking in the ordinary assembly program. A feeling of intimacy seemed to spring up between the audience and the entertainers, produced, probably, by the naturalness with which the selections were rendered. Boy Sopranos Perhaps the most delightful- of the selections on the program were those which featured the boy sopranos. These six boys, selected from the principal London church choirs, sang with amazing tone and clarity; and, when singing in conjunction with the adult voices, formed a pleasing combination. The program included three solo1 numbers by members of the adult group and a solo, with accompaniment of voices, by one of the boy sopranos. A quartet also rendered several enjoyable numbers. Comedy was furnished by Mr. Albert G. Greene, one of the basses in the chorus, in several rollicking part-singing selections. Extensive Tour The Westminster Glee Singers are drawn from the leading cathedral choirs of Great Britain; the organization being formed twenty-five years ago by its present leader, Edward Branscombe. They have toured every part of the English-speaking world. EJMNWNEXT Women's League and Men's Club Will Present Fashion Show in Assembly, Next Tuesday Morning. In next Tuesday's assembly 'the Women's League and Men's Club are jointly sponsoring a fashion show, featuring summer styles. The chairman, Alice Sundquist, announces that there will be four acts with a prologue to each for which Elizabeth Brodt has written an attractive scenario. There will probably be an orchestra playing throughout the program. There will also be dancing and singing-acts. Mr. Hoppe's Play Production class will present a one-act play of their own choosing in next Friday's assembly. This event is pleasantly anticipated by the memory of the last one act play produced in assembly. o Several names have been added to the list of those who will receive Life Diplomas at the conclusion of this spring quarter. They are: Agnes E. Bestual, '26; Axelia Johnson, '24; Beryl Kelley, '25; Madeline Koester, '24; Karine Olsen, '24; Laura E. Runyon, '29; and Floyd Van Etten, '26.

Fowler REPORTERS Bert Cole Rose Brooks Glen Goddard John Finnegan Ed Cox Ray Craft John Greaves Lloyd Beckes ' Robert Cox THIS IS THE END T_hiite end of this quarter is almost upon us—upon us with term themes, tests, and other papers long past due. Some students will welcome the conclusion of this quarter with a sigh of relief from a long, strenuous and brain taxing term, while for others it will mean merely the duration of a past, infinite vacation. To most of us it will mean a parting of the ways, a loss of some friend that is survived by a tiny spark of hope—a hope that someday the pathways of each of our lives will cross during, the tide of time, that we may again renew a friendship whose ties will be, at that future date, shrivelled and perhaps severed—who knows? •Graduation, which terminates this quarter, is a time of much glory and happiness to those participating in the exercises; many of the graduates will perhaps, never return to this institution, others will, and those students engaged as teachers will be widely distributed over the Northern part of the United States—-all this means a parting of the ways, but, anyway, we still have the hope that someday we may meet again. It is a funny world—a world liberally dotted with little spots of happiness, and sadness—a world systematically mapped out for us, so it seems, giving us each, in the long run, just about an equal number of sorrowful incidents as the more pleasant ones, and we'll take it just as it is, because it is-—Life. T H E E V E N T S O N T H E KNOLL The Campus* Knoll became the playground where Grecian dancers portrayed their lovely, graceful and sylph-like movements, and where slaves struggled in vain to obey their graceful but stern, unyielding master, who lashed them again and again with her soft, silken scarf; where a nymph glided lightly through intricate steps to the ever haunting strains of the "Blue Danube Waltz"; Prometheus, after an exhausting fight to free himself from defying bonds that held him, finally broke his chains; and great Roman warriors lived again to hold battle there on our knoll. It was a scene well worth watching, and the dancers as well as their director, Miss Helen Dozier, win worthy, well-merited applause. Of course the program, no matter how skillfully arranged, would have never been the success it was without the excellent musical accompaniment played by Vera Ginnette, pianist; Ethel Boynton, violinist; and Pauline Larkin, flutist. Taken all in all, we are proud of the participants, and director; they have earned recognition and have much praise due them. W E R E G R E T MISS M A D D E N ' S D E P A R T U RE Last week's Viking informs us that Miss Alma G. Madden will sever her connection with the school at the end of the summer school. It is with profound regret that we hear of this. Miss Madden has served the school faithfully for five years, and during that time the debate department has done excellent work and the extempore speaking department has been built up. We have just finished a very successful debate season, and so we feel it only fitting that there should be some expression from the students in appreciation of her work. —E. B. F. YOU C A N T W I N E V E R Y T I ME We can't always win, and the times we don't win we are at least exceedingly proud we could enter the contest. So it is with the participants in the League of Nations national contest. No one from this institution won the trip to Europe, offered as first"prize, or any of the other prizes given—What of it? This school was represented in the contest at any rate. A prize, while a most coveted honor* and the person winning any of the prizes has done a most scholastic deed, is not everything. A great deal of credit is due to the two Normal students whose papers were worth representatives of this institution in this year's League of Nations national contest. Arthur Cram and Edna Boone Finley. S C H O L A R S H I P S MEAN' SO MUCH A Normal daughter was awarded the coveted E. C. Converse scholarship of the Leland Stanford University. Jean Marquis, our friend, former classmate, and daughter of Dean and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, received the scholarship for the superior type of work, characteristic of Jean, she performed in her studies while at Stanford. We are proud of you, Jean, and congratulate you on your accomplishment. DeWitt Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, was elected recently to the Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary scholarship society. He was one of only eighty-three students out of a senior class of 1238 of the University of Washington, that was able to qualify—'• Oh, well! "Like father like son". Thomas A.

What Can a Woman Do When a Bee Hive Loses It's Lodgers? There seems to be a natural tendency for women to climb high when the presence of a mouse is announced, but you ought to see them hug the floor when bees escape from the hive and swarm about the classroom. Now to explain the why and the wherefore of the escaped bees. Early one morning, last week, about eight o'clock, an assistant in the Science department hurriedly tucked a hive of busy, buzzing bees under his arm, failing to notice that the bottom of the hive was not correctly fitted to the upper portion, and started to put them out on the window ledge. However, the bees, seeing.a chance to gain their liberty, streamed out through the open corner and swarmed about the room, causing considerable commotion among the students and instructors present in the room. The only casualty reported were the loss of "poundage" in the struggle to gain the other side of the assistant's nose. o Large Number Will Graduate on June 6 (Continued from Page One) ' ''The^-^:;; Pointless Epistles of Mark Gwinnett, Frances Haight, Dorothy Halbert, Beatrice Halverson, Benjamin Hamilton, Merle Hanson, Daisy Ozell Harris, Vera Hembury, Joe Hermsen, Margaret Hill, Roberta Hindley, Jennie Hoffman, Florence Horswill, Bertha Hundt, Lillian Jacobsen, Audrey Jensen, Gertrude Marie Jensen, Earle D.

He is Non-committal as to Chances of Winning Meet. Thai Continues to be Leading Tennis Player on Ladder Last Wednesday Coach Carver sent his pets through their final paces in preparation for competition in. the annual Tri-Normal track and field meet that is to be held at Cheney this year. The tennis squad also made the journey along with them. Sid Thai, Ham Church and Ed Cox will uphold the Blue and White laurels for the local racquet wielders. Contrary to usual procedure Carver is making no predictions regarding the outcome of the meet. However he prophesied that Bellingham had a good break for third place. Last time the Vikings went to El-lensburg highly touted for first place and got. bit by the heat bug and came home with the short end of . the score. Cheney Normal is rated as potential winners of the meet, due to their showing against W. S. C. Frosh. Strong on Track The Viking warriors have plenty of strength on the track but are exceptionally weak in the field events. but for one or two events. Carver is only taking eleven men, instead of-twelve, due to lack of good material. The following men left for Cheney ; yesterday: Erickson, Hemmii, Brinkman, Axelson, Howell, Bright, Cox, Carboneau, Egan, Gravrock, and Oberlatz, Thai, Ed Cox, Church, Osborne and Carver. 7.( .New. Material-.Unearthed I n ^ a trial ;run to determine a second place entry in the half mile run .^Tuesday,- -Carver discovered that it;never rains but it pours. While, weak in reserve strength in many of the events he found out by the stop watch that he had at least six. runners who could make the half in less than 2:06. Howell rated as first man; was started against Carboneau and Egan and O'FIying. Howell set the pace and lead, up to the last 30 yards but was nosed out by a yard by Carboneau and .Egan, who uncorked., a desperate sprint in the. last fifty yards. Brinkman and Axelson and Bright are also rated to run under 2:06. This is exceptionally good time when it will be remembered that Gallenger of Bellingham won the Tri-Normal at 2:05.8 in 1927. Entries in Events Earl Hemmi, peer of sprinters, who has competed in a number of track meets will perform for the Blue and White for the last time in.' his fourth tri-normal competi-' tion. Bob Cox is our second entry in the sprints. Clarence Axelson, who has already won his sweater is the lone entry in the quarter mile. Carver is feeling confident in the 880 yard run and is entering three men: Paul Howell, Melvin Egan and Bob Carboneau. Norman Bright, record holder for the mile run is expected to cop his event but is not in good condition, due to a recent illness. Carboneau will run in second position. Tinval Brinkman, winner of the cross city run in '27 will be a lone entry in the two mile grind. Cox is also entered in the low hurdles. Charles Erickson the star high point man of the squad will run the high hurdles, throw the javelin, put the shot, broadjump and perhaps high jump and throw the discus. Oberlatz due to rapid improvement in the last two weeks is taken along in the discus. Art Gravrock has improved considerably in the javelin in the C. P. S. meet and is expected to go good in his specialty. The four men who will run in the mile relay will be chosen from the following: Axelson, Howell, Brink-man, Bright, Cox, Hemmi, Egan and Carboneau. o Mr. Winther Accepts Position at Stanford The results of this week's matches in the tennis ladder as as follows: Parker beat Prendergast, 8-6, 6-4.

Those who will represent the Bellingham Normal are as follows: Sid Thai, No. 1; Church No. 4; and Cox No; 5. Erickson, No. 2 on the ladder will not be able to compete due to the many track- events he is entered in, while Keplinger, No.! 3, is ineligible for Tri-Normal play. . Sid ,Thal, Viking first man, will! have plenty of competition in the single matches as, .both Ellensburg and Cheney, boast strong f hjst- men. ThaUs game has been rather erratic at times but i f h e i s "on'.'.at Cheney he will cause them plenty of trouble. Sid is also, the only man on the squad who has, had tournament experience, and really plays best when he-,is. up. against a good,man and has to fight for his points. , The arrangement for doubles have not vbeen. made,, but it looks as though Edgar Cox and Sid Thai will play in the doubles, while "Ham" Church will play the other single matches. - ' • - . - , Road Trip Hard The team left with a strong determination to do their "darndest," and if- the 400 mile auto jaunt does not cause too many ill effects the Viking tennis team will give a good account of themselves. .—_o THE U.

The decision of the Committee on Award for the First National Competitive Examination on the League of Nations for Normal schools was reached on May 9 and is as follows. ^ 1st Prize (trip to Europe) Edith Garrison, State Teachers College, Trenton, New Jersey. 2nd Prize ($100.00)—Naomi A. Fausch, Winona State Teachers College, Winona, Minnesota. 3rd^Prize ($50.00)—Sarah Polster, Columbus State Normal School, Columbus, Ohio. , I n addition to the three prize winners the following win honorable mention, which means that their papers were among the highest in the 124 papers submitted: Florrie Mathis, Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee; Marie Alsager, Northern Illinois . S t a t e Teachers College, DeKalb, Illinois; Phyllis M. Brearly, State Normal School, Westfield, Massachusetts; Isobel E. Boutelle, Keene Normal School, Keene, New Hampshire; Norah Boone Fields, East Tennessee State Teachers College, Johnson City, Tennessee. While the Normal did not win any prizes, still we feel that the additional knowledge of the Subject gained, repaid the effort put forth. Miss Nora B. Cummins says in regard to the results of the^ contest, "The fact that there is such a wide geograhical distribution in the "awards is very hopeful and we see no reason why a student from this •school might not win next year, if the contest is continued, as it very likely will be." — -o HALL SONG SERVICE WEDNESDAY IS GOOD Vocal Solos and Instrumental Numbers Eliven Entertainment at Edens Hall, Wednesday Night. The diners at Edens Hall were treated Wednesday night to more than the usual amount of musical numbers, when Winnifred Bowles sang a group of solos, and Clarence Thue and Chauncey Griffith favored the grdup with a number of instrumental selections. Miss Bowles who was accompanied on the piano by Elizabeth Gable, rendered "Roses of Picardy" and "When Day is Done". Mr. Griffith accompanied Mr. Thue, who performed on a brace of saxa-phones, in several popular pieces, and afterwards both of the boys assisted Ray Craft and Arthur Cram in the general song service a regular part of the Wednesday night dinner hour service o BOARD OF CONTROL Boating and Baseball Entertain Members of Board of Control at Their Party Tuesday.

"Junior Viking" Paper Is Novel Publication (Continued from Page One) entire class makes a trip to the Bellingham Herald printing office, and there see how the daily is set up, printed and distributed. The class also studies the lives of prominent journalists, who have contributed" much to the rise of the profession, such as Charles A Dana and Horace Greely. Cost Is Nominal The cost of publication is unusually low, ranging between from $40 to $50. There is no advertising in the paper due to the state aid that is given. About 500 copies are printed. Two weeks ago all copy was in for the spring issue. This allows Mr. Bissel time to set up the type and have it printed a week or two before school is out. The paper is six inches by nine inches and usually contains 28 or 32 pages. Often times it is illustrated with a half page picture of some school festival. The primary aim of the "Junior Viking" is to reflect the activities and spirit of the training school. It gives a chance for the students to do creative work and the youngsters are more than highly elated to see their work in print. o Miss Longley Takes A Leave of Absence Taking a leave of absence for one year, Miss Gertrude Longley plans to attend the Teachers' College at Columbia to get her Master's degree in Nutrition. The early part of the summer she will teach here, then, leaving about July 18 with her father, Mr. W. C. Longley and sister, Alice Longley, will motor to the east and visit relatives on the way. Sunday, Miss Gertrude Longley drove to Vancouver, B. C, where she visited relatives. Swimming, boating, and baseball served to entertain the members of the Board of Control and their guests Tuesday afternoon, when the board enjoyed a picnic at Samish lake.
