THE WEEKLY MESSENGER Vol. XVI. Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917 No. 28 .S. POSITION IN SEATTLE SPEAK IN TO ELEMENT S E A M GHUCKANUT Mr. W. S. Moodie, «f the biology department of the Bellingham Normal, went to Seattle Saturday. While there he attended the meetings of the Municipal League. It seems that Seattle is going to fall in line with other cities in the movement for conservation and the increase of the food supply by utilizing every bit of available land. Mr. Moodie was asked to supervise this work in Seattle. He will have his headquarters at the Lincoln high school but will supervise the work in the other high schools as well. This is an office that has just been created to meet the war conditions. Mr. Moodie telephoned up and asked to be •released from his connection with the Normal in order that he might accept the position offered him. He took up his new work on Tuesday. Mr. Moodie has been connected with the department of biology in the Bellingham Normal for the past nine years. He has been a very efficient instructor in his line of work. His influence has also been felt in the other activities of the school. During the past year he has been chairman of the lecture course committee. Mr. Moodie was popular with the students and faculty alike, and will be greatly missed by all. "We wish him the best of work and congratulate him on of success in his new and larger field being elected to so responsible a position. Dr. Herre will have charge of Mr. Moodie's classes in botany, and Dr. Kaylor will take the class in zoology. Miss McCown and Miss Ormsby will be in Seattle over the week-end, Fri-; day they expect to attend open house in the recently completed Home Economics hall at the University of Washington. Work will be conducted in the laboratories and exhibits will be displayed. ' On Saturday the annual "spring conference of the Washington State Home Economics Association will be held in the same building. Miss Ormsby. is to be one of the.speakers. Her subject will be: the "Eighth Grade Course of Study" with reference to Home Economics work. Arrangements have been made to entertain out of town guests at the sorority houses and in the homes of home economics students at dinner and over night on Friday. Mrs. Colby heard the Damrosch orchestra in Seattle this last week-end and reports that she enjoyed some splendid numbers. The training school, under the direction of Mrs. Colby, is to put on an operetta entitled "Jack antl the Bean Stalk." Mr. Bond attended a lecture at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher's Association of Camano this week. The State Board met last Thursday. The different Normal school presidents were asked to submit their plans for a revised course of study under the new law. Cadet Lee Gray writes to Dr. Nash from West Point under date of April 9th. Lee says the West Point school is a busy place these days, and that his time is fully occupied with work and studies. Tom Marshall ex '14. visited school Wednesday. Tom Scarseth was visiting old friends at the Normal Wednesday. He has taken his examination for entrance at West Point, but has not received his returns, so he decided to come home while waiting to hear the outcome of the examination. ALKISIAHS TO GIVE PLAY MAY 12 On Saturday night, May 12th, in the Normal Auditorium, the Alkisiah club will offer to the public and to the student body one of the most delightful plays of modern times. "Prunella" or "Love in a Dutch Garden," was written several years ago by two prominent English poets and play-wrights, Laurence Housman and Granville Barker. Both in London and later in New York the play was wonderfully received, and has been considered one of the most exquisite additions to the field of fanciful drama. Part of the dialogue is in verse, fine, rollicking verse, and part in pointed and cleverly done prose. At no time does the action drag. In fact, for the combination of brilliancy and lyric beauty, this little three-act comedy is hardly surpassed Continued on Page Eight.) The Elementaries won the Chuckanut marathon race last Saturday by a large margin. This evens up the honors between the three, classes. The Juniors excell in athletics, for they won the basketball championship and the Kline cup. The Seniors showed their intellectual acquirements by winning the public speaking contest and incidentally the fifty dollar prize. The Elementaries proved that they excel in endurance and grit for they won the Marathon cup in the race to Chuckanut last Saturday. So the honors are even and everyone is happy. The Marathon race is one of the big events of the year at the Bellingham Normal. The race is between classes and not between individuals, and that class wins which gets the greatest percentage of its enrollment to the top of Chuckanut mountain during the day sometime between the hours of ten in the morning and four in the afternoon. Last year this race did not come off on account of rain, but this year conditions were a little more favorable. Early Saturday morning it looked as if it was going to rain, and it did rain a little all day, but for all that the flag on the knoll went up, which was the signal that the race would take place. The basketball girls, who made up the trail marking committee, were the first to start. They started at 6:45 and reached the top of the mountain at 9 o'clock. They marked both trails with flags and with pieces of red crepe paper scattered along the path or hung on the bushes and trees along the trail. This proved a great help to those who came after. Three hundred sixty-one Normalites reached the top of the mountain during the day. Sometimes they came in large groups and sometimes in small groups and each time their arrival caused rejoicing or chagrin among those who were already at the top; all depending on whether the new arrivals were Juniors, Seniors or Elementaries. Those who were to register the new names at the top did their duty cheerfully and with interest. Those who came up last met many coming down the trail, and heard words of discouragement or encouragement, this depending also on what class they belonged to. We did not hear of any being discouraged to the (Continued ..on Page Eight.) ®®®®®®®®®®®(^^ Monday, April 23, 1917. Assembly. Miss Druse and Miss Bisaza will speak. 3:20.

OBSERVE ARBOR DAY Some little time ago the Ohyesa Literary Society extended an invitation to the other organizations of the school to join with them in observing Arbor day in a fitting manner. The other organizations took up the plan and preparations were made for suitable exercises. Miss Baker, of the Nature Study department, selected the spots on the campus where things . might be planted and made sugges-. tions to the different clubs as to what would be most suitable. The gardener prepared the holes, and members of the clubs carried up rich black soil from the swamp to fill around the plants. The program in assembly Friday was an Arbor Day program. Mrs. King, president of the Ohyesa Society, gave a short talk on the purpose of the exercises. Mr. David Griffith, of our local Bulb Farm, talked about {Continued on Page Eight.)
