Her rich brown hair ran back from her forehead and then jumped ^chastely hither from ear to ear. Her legs had that shimmering, alluring gleam which only Phoenix hosiery can produce. Perhaps "she was the student who patronized-Messenger advertisers. Above all'this the little country maiden had what us in the movies -so clearly describe as "it." Her plump, beefy figure was the glossy, unmounted picture of health. No one would imagine she, too, ate at the cafeteria. Their eyes met-,. He was big and strong.

DRAMAS ARE GIVEN BY MAUD SCHEERER Entertainment Course Offered by School is Opened by Reading of Galsworthy arid Crothers Plays. At a special assembly Wednesday students of the Bellingham Normal School received an unusual treat in the form of the reading of John Gal-worthy's play "The Skin Game," by Miss Maud Scheerer, a dramatic reader. In the evening, Miss Scheerer read the play, "He and She,'" by Rachel Crothers. Six Numbers Offered This was the first of a course of six numbers which is being offered -the public by the Normal School. This lecture and entertainment course is being offered in response to a desire of some of the people of the city, and the response this year will probably determine whether or not the course will be offered next year. David Dietz to Lecture Other numbers in the Course will be a lecture on "The Last Frontier", by David Dietz, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Dec. 14, the Moroni Olsen players in the play "Out-ward Bound" by Sutton Vane on February 5, 1927; Roy Chapman Andrews will give a lecture on Mongolia, February 24; Ruth Draper will, offer some of her own character sketches on March 9; and Lew Sa-rett, the "Poet of the Wilderness," will lecture on the subject "Many, Many Moons", on March 18. These numbers tho offered to the public in the evening,.will be offered to the student body at special assemblies during the days, so all the students will have the opportunity of hearing the various numbers. At an informal party last week at Nichols Hall, Lydia McNeil announced her engagement, to . Dr. Alfred-Bright. Dr. Bright is ^a graduate of the Portland Dental College. Miss McNeil is a. student at the Normal. The wedding will take place the latter part of. this month. GmOMKI€KMmtO MA TRIMONIAL MJTARINRE-EN^ WEDDING STAGED BY OUR FACULTY Library Contains Big Collection of General Lit. (By George Allez) The Library of the State Normal School is primarily a teachers* professional library, but also contains large collections of literature, history, sociology, fine arts, useful arts, geography and travel, biography and science. The library also contains a standard and up-to-date list of reference books. It now contains nearly 36,000 volumes; 5000 pamphlets and large files of magazines. New books and reference material are being added constantly. Every week,-on the front alcove there is a display of new books and books on special , subjects. This display is changed weekly on Thursdays. The attention of the students is especially called to this display in hopes that they will take advantage of this opportunity to keep up to date on current subjects. The Library is maintained by the honor system. Students of this school have free access to the books and magazines at all times. There are few school libraries of this type in the country. There are few school libraries where the books and reference material are kept bn open shelves to be used freely by; the students as they desire. Perhaps we would appreciate some of the conveniences of our library better if we were compelled to study and work in a library with books be- "HE AND SHE" GIVEN BY MAUDE SCHEERER Audience Received Play Heartily.

(Continued on Page Two) SOME DIFFICULTY TO ARRANGE SCHEDULE The marriage of Florence Johnson, well known -faculty member and Mr. Herbert Ruckinick took plSce last Monday at 8:30 o'clock, at the Third Presbyterian Churchy Rev. Luther Wesley officiating. ' ^ *"'''.

The Misses Nora Oum-J mins, Olive Edens, Gertrude Longey,- and Adele'JqneB, were the bride's at-, tendants; Their gowns were of powder;; .blue" tulle.',.: 'V^..'.-''-;:.': ' Ttiejtwo train bearers, ( Frankie?

Available teams are 'scarce and are not answering bids very rapidly,. according to-the hoop mentor. Dates for the Tri-Normal games have been definitely arranged, however. A trip will be made to the Eastern part of the state, the last of January, where the Vikings'will meet Ellensburg the 25th, and Cheney the 27th. Probably one or two more games will be included in the westerners' invas-; ion. -: .'•.-.'. • .

In her extemporaneous introduction the artist occasionally employed wit and subtle humor. "He and She", was well received by the audience. I t reveals the characteristics of modern family life, and is frequently dotted with humor. Maud Sheerer_ shows high degrees of attainment in facial expression, tone coloring and gesticulation. Her voice ranges from gruff speech to the sweetest mellowest enchanting tone imaginable. "We are offering no apologies for the courses we are presenting here at the Normal," said President Fisher in an introductory remark to the audience. He added, "there is not just: one outstanding number in the course, they are all good. Every course is very much worth while and the best of lecturers an dentertain-ers it has been possible to secure will appear on the program." Tuesday evening David Deitz will lecture on science. He has the knack of. laying open, vivisecting so to speak, the -complex and perplexing situation of science to the layman by the use of simple'language and landslide illustrations. Ralph Johnson and Florence Crueger Will Play Leading Parts k Attractive Drama Club Production. Presentation is Colorful^and Effective with Costumes, N ew Stage Sets, and Lighting Schemes. D A L E A N N I S W I NS F A M E T H R U SONG Dale Annis sang his way into the hearts of his audience only a few minutes ago, when he gave his interpretation of "The Road to Mandalay" and "Danny Boy." Mr. Annis told the reporter "that he considered it a privilege to sing before such a large audience, although he was aware of the fact that /the I "attendance is required" chal- J lehge helped pack the spacious J and. commodious hall. Dale will J appear in public- again at the ? Xmas party in Edens Hall next s Wednesday evening. l | l l II III •• "I •• '• IK >• " " I WHAT IS IDEAL NORMALSTUDENT; IS QUERY OF MASM^W ISYOUKAN^ER^mJTDOREAD ON By V. A. V. "The Ideal Normal Student'? Why there ain't!4io'such animal." Dean of Men William J. Marquis leaned forward over his desk as he adjusted his spectacles and looked straight in my eye3 with a^bewildered and questioning stare.- ' . "But Dean," I stammered, "don?t you believe there is such a thing as an ideal, and don't you agree that a student should have ideals, and conr sequently be^an ideal student?" .-• The gray-haired but youthful >prd-fessor reclined in his easy chair, while I leaned, forward and watched him closely..He cast a philosophical glance oyer the ga'rdeii beneath his office window-jr and,-in another mom-; ent accosted mer "So' you wish me* to tell ;ybu what I think are; the esr sential attributes of the ideal Nor-v mal student,' do you? ~.

In the por^' trayal of modern times there is shown a gay picture of English, life. A touch of smart London" society aa introduced to a young American girl is given. ^Although England i s a brl bizarre to this eighteen year old girl from the "Statesj" by the end of the play, Elisabeth Tyrell show* her friends _how things-are done on her side of the water. Shakespearean Costumes •<•• - Acts two and. three revert -to -the romantic days of 1603, the days of Shakespeare. Lavish ;and-; colorful costumes are worn. "•'':'" Elspeth dreams-on' this Midsummer's eve, and all the characters live the lives which had been theirs three centuries before. Old costumes, language and differences of the period furnish much of the humor and pleasure of the play "in these acts. Ralph Johnson, who plays the leading part, has appeared in popular roles -in many of the Normal Drama club's plays. Although not a melodramatic part a new type of "vil-lian'" pervades the play with, proud a nd merciless strength. Bill Moek essays this character. In "The Goose Hangs High" and in "Adam and Eva" Mr.- Mock played two clever parts. The character represented in Kenelm Paulton is much" stronger, . however. .• , •,: ..! • . Florence Crueger As Elspeth Elspeth is portrayed by Florence Crueger. Miss Crueger has attended the Ellensburg Normal and the University of Washington at which institutions she was especially - interested in dramatics. In "The Road to Yesterday," she - creates . an: attractive and delightful, energetic American girl on her first insular visit. Other characters of the play are well chosen with careful emphasis in regard to type. The direction of the vehicle ,is under Miss Alma Madden of the Speech department. New Stage Effects \ Special sets have been built for the present Drama Club offering,- and new scenery has been painted. With the- addition of the sets, .the cyclo-rama, and the new stage lightingx effects, those who attend "The Road to Yesterday" will see a new stager with many "novel theatrical improvemeritB;" •'•' The completei cast >f "The "Roadytd Yesterday" is as follows: - - Kenelm Paulton ........v...Wiiliam Mock Jack Greatorex; ;„-:......Ralph Johhson Will Leveson '.."..^„.T.rDwight Bunnell^ Adrian Tonipykins' .;„„„„• Ralph Huff Elspeth Tyrell ..„;..; Florence Krueger Malena Leveson ........

DRAMAS ARE GIVEN BY MAUD SCHEERER Entertainment Course Offered by School is Opened by Reading of Galsworthy arid Crothers Plays. At a special assembly Wednesday students of the Bellingham Normal School received an unusual treat in the form of the reading of John Gal-worthy's play "The Skin Game," by Miss Maud Scheerer, a dramatic reader. In the evening, Miss Scheerer read the play, "He and She,'" by Rachel Crothers. Six Numbers Offered This was the first of a course of six numbers which is being offered -the public by the Normal School. This lecture and entertainment course is being offered in response to a desire of some of the people of the city, and the response this year will probably determine whether or not the course will be offered next year. David Dietz to Lecture Other numbers in the Course will be a lecture on "The Last Frontier", by David Dietz, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Dec. 14, the Moroni Olsen players in the play "Out-ward Bound" by Sutton Vane on February 5, 1927; Roy Chapman Andrews will give a lecture on Mongolia, February 24; Ruth Draper will, offer some of her own character sketches on March 9; and Lew Sa-rett, the "Poet of the Wilderness," will lecture on the subject "Many, Many Moons", on March 18. These numbers tho offered to the public in the evening,.will be offered to the student body at special assemblies during the days, so all the students will have the opportunity of hearing the various numbers. At an informal party last week at Nichols Hall, Lydia McNeil announced her engagement, to . Dr. Alfred-Bright. Dr. Bright is ^a graduate of the Portland Dental College. Miss McNeil is a. student at the Normal. The wedding will take place the latter part of. this month. GmOMKI€KMmtO MA TRIMONIAL MJTARINRE-EN^ WEDDING STAGED BY OUR FACULTY Library Contains Big Collection of General Lit. (By George Allez) The Library of the State Normal School is primarily a teachers* professional library, but also contains large collections of literature, history, sociology, fine arts, useful arts, geography and travel, biography and science. The library also contains a standard and up-to-date list of reference books. It now contains nearly 36,000 volumes; 5000 pamphlets and large files of magazines. New books and reference material are being added constantly. Every week,-on the front alcove there is a display of new books and books on special , subjects. This display is changed weekly on Thursdays. The attention of the students is especially called to this display in hopes that they will take advantage of this opportunity to keep up to date on current subjects. The Library is maintained by the honor system. Students of this school have free access to the books and magazines at all times. There are few school libraries of this type in the country. There are few school libraries where the books and reference material are kept bn open shelves to be used freely by; the students as they desire. Perhaps we would appreciate some of the conveniences of our library better if we were compelled to study and work in a library with books be- "HE AND SHE" GIVEN BY MAUDE SCHEERER Audience Received Play Heartily.

In her extemporaneous introduction the artist occasionally employed wit and subtle humor. "He and She", was well received by the audience. I t reveals the characteristics of modern family life, and is frequently dotted with humor. Maud Sheerer_ shows high degrees of attainment in facial expression, tone coloring and gesticulation. Her voice ranges from gruff speech to the sweetest mellowest enchanting tone imaginable. "We are offering no apologies for the courses we are presenting here at the Normal," said President Fisher in an introductory remark to the audience. He added, "there is not just: one outstanding number in the course, they are all good. Every course is very much worth while and the best of lecturers an dentertain-ers it has been possible to secure will appear on the program." Tuesday evening David Deitz will lecture on science. He has the knack of. laying open, vivisecting so to speak, the -complex and perplexing situation of science to the layman by the use of simple'language and landslide illustrations. Ralph Johnson and Florence Crueger Will Play Leading Parts k Attractive Drama Club Production. Presentation is Colorful^and Effective with Costumes, N ew Stage Sets, and Lighting Schemes.

In the por^' trayal of modern times there is shown a gay picture of English, life. A touch of smart London" society aa introduced to a young American girl is given. ^Although England i s a brl bizarre to this eighteen year old girl from the "Statesj" by the end of the play, Elisabeth Tyrell show* her friends _how things-are done on her side of the water. Shakespearean Costumes •<•• - Acts two and. three revert -to -the romantic days of 1603, the days of Shakespeare. Lavish ;and-; colorful costumes are worn. "•'':'" Elspeth dreams-on' this Midsummer's eve, and all the characters live the lives which had been theirs three centuries before. Old costumes, language and differences of the period furnish much of the humor and pleasure of the play "in these acts. Ralph Johnson, who plays the leading part, has appeared in popular roles -in many of the Normal Drama club's plays. Although not a melodramatic part a new type of "vil-lian'" pervades the play with, proud a nd merciless strength. Bill Moek essays this character. In "The Goose Hangs High" and in "Adam and Eva" Mr.- Mock played two clever parts. The character represented in Kenelm Paulton is much" stronger, . however. .• , •,: ..! • . Florence Crueger As Elspeth Elspeth is portrayed by Florence Crueger. Miss Crueger has attended the Ellensburg Normal and the University of Washington at which institutions she was especially - interested in dramatics. In "The Road to Yesterday," she - creates . an: attractive and delightful, energetic American girl on her first insular visit. Other characters of the play are well chosen with careful emphasis in regard to type. The direction of the vehicle ,is under Miss Alma Madden of the Speech department.
