Students in the photography class,
under the supervision of Herbert
Ruckmick, have done some splendid
work this summer in picture taking.
The purpose of the class is to stimu­late
interest among students in the
school in regard to snapshot scene
of school life and incidents of general
interest about town.
The idea is to make the camera
work offered as generally participat­ed
in "as possible by students of the
school. Good, clear prints or nega­tives
are desired by the Camera
class. Anyone who wishes to have
his or her work displayed should
submit negatives or prints to the
Students Co-op. Store or to Mr.
Ruckmick not later than Tuesday
evening. The nature of the pictures
desired does not necessarily have to be
of incidents that occur in and about
the school. Snaps of the general
run of activities participated in by
students, such as interesting events
in town, scenic views, sunsets, comic
snaps, and scenes of hikes are want­ed
by the camera class.
The underlying philosophy is to
stimulate photographic interest in
every phase of work where a cam­era
can be used. It is not the object
to give preference to just a few.
Anyone who wishes may turn in
negatives or prints and the finished
product will. be ' exhibited on the
bulletin board. The signature of the
photographer will be published with
the snapshot.
The class in photography is hand­ling
the Camera . News this quarter.
Many snapshots- of various denom­inations
and subjects have been,tak­en
by the class during the summer
months.
According to Herbert Ruckmick,
director of the work, an organization
is going to be formed next fall which
will have for its primary purpose the
taking and developing of camera
pictures. The members of the club
will probably become more efficient,
than the average camera amateur,
and consequently better pictures will
be had. The work done by this club
will greatly facilitate the duties for
the Art department of the Klipsun
staff for 1927. .'.

THE REFLECTION OF MT. SHUKSAN IN MIRROR LAKE
DR. MILLER RETURNS
AFTER A VACATION
Completes Survey of Freshman
Standards in Washington
and Oregon Colleges.
Last Week-erid Trip o/»
Summer Quarter to be
Taken- Up Sister Mts.
That Freshman work at the Bel­lingham
Normal is on as high a basis
as the work at the University of
Washington or at Reed College is the
statement made by Dr. Miller of the
Education department, who has just
returned from an eighteen weeks
leave of absence.
Dr. Miller's main object in visiting
the University of Washington and
Reed College was to find out how
they were taking care of the Fresh­men
and to receive any sugegstions
that might be offered. .
A course in liberal arts is required
of freshmen at the University. This
is to give the students an outlook
on the significant problems of life.
Music and art are studied to impress
upon the students their contributions
to our common culture. A similar
course is given at Reed college. This
course is similar to our work in the
History of Civilization and science.
An attempt' has been made at
Reed College to' give students of su­perior
ability in the Junior and
Senior years a chance to work inde­pendently
of the regular school cur­riculum.
With just the guidance of
a teacher, it is believed that students
will reach a wider field, of study.
At Tacoma, Dr. Miller was partic­ularly
interested in; the junior high
school work. Several new schools-have
been built in that city.
To visit old college friends'who are
-teaching at Linfield College was his,
object in stopping at McMiniiville,'
Oregon. Dr. Miller states that much
of his time was spent in restful rec­reation
at' Olga, Orcas Island, and
at home.— -

Choral Club of 125
Voices Will Present
Haydn's Masterpiece
August 19 is the date set for the
presentation of Haydn's "Creation.".
This musical oratorio is to be given
in the auditorium by the choral so­ciety
composed of one hundred and
forty mixed voices.. The Choral So­ciety
singers have been under the
direction of Harold B. Smith, of the
Music department, for the past two
months.
The solo parts are to be handled
by seasoned oratorio singersw Mrs.
Percy Stark, of Tacoma, Mr. Alex­ander
Wallace, of Seattle, and Mr.
David Ross, of Vancouver, have been
secured for the soprano, tenor and
bass parts, respectively. An orches­t
ra of twenty-one pieces is scheduled
t o play the entire accompaniment.
The program is to begin promptly at
8:20 in the evening.
The Choral Society has been work­ing
hard all quarter to produce (a
fine interpretation of the "Creation.".
This is the third oratorio to Jbe pro­duced
by the club during the season.
Dubois' "Seven Last Words of
Christ," and Rossini's "Stabat Mat­er"
were given during.the past year.,
Mrs. Percy Stark, of; Tacoma, who
had the leading soprano part in both
the "Seven Last Words of Christ"
and "Stabat Mater", will play a s'im-,
ilar role in the "Creation." The
strength and ^purity of her voice
makes, i t well fitted for the part.
Mr. Alexander Wallace, of Seattle,;
who has the tenor solo part in the
"Creation", also appeared in ' the
other two productions. Critics join
in praise of his voice as being re­markably
clear and with a wide
range, haying beauty in solo and
equally charming in chorus. Mr.
David Ross, who has been secured
for the bass solo part, comes highly
recommended, being ^considered one
of the best of Canadian bass singers.
Many of the city's most prominent
musicians will 'be members of the
twenty-one piece orchestra, which

.'•All preparations are now; complet­ed
for the production of "Romeo and /.
Juliet" in the Greenwood theater on
Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
August 11. and 12.
The stage settings are finished and
the final rehearsals have been made;
with their aid.
"Romeo and Juliet" has always been
a favorite with lovers of*the theater,
as well as being one of the most
popular of Shakespeare's plays.
There is an intrinsic beauty within ;
this tender story,—a charm: impos­sible
to be enjoyed save through
stage delineation.
Philomena Hynes; who portrays ,
the character of Juliet, played the
feminine lead in "The Potters" the
Normal commencement play of 1925.
Miss Hynes will be remembered in
the role of Ma Potter, a part which
she carried with unusual distinction
and charm. At the Holy Names
Academy in Seattle, Miss Hynes was
the choice in 1923 for representative;.
in the state Shakespearean' contest
at the University of• Washington. ; v
Miss Hynes shares the title roles
with Oliver Nelson as Romeo. , Mr.'
Nelson has.. participated in several
productions of the Normal Drama:
Club, this being the third consecutive
summer he has played in a Shake­spearean
drama.: Other plays in
which he has acted are "Miss; Lulu'
Bett' and "Icebound." : ,"
Talented Cast. <
An interesting fact is that, the,
leading men of the three Normal
Drama Club's play of last year are :
included in the cast of' "Romeo arid",
Juliet" 'Angus Bowmer, who played:';;
the part of Mr. Ingals^ in ^The^ /
Goose Hangs High'^; Robert Wagner,
who carried the juvenileMead in /
"Adam and Eva", and Theodorei Ced--, ;
erberg, who: portrayed the character. .;
of Old Man Minick in the last com-:^ r
mencement play, all have important
parts in this summer's production; ; /
Victor Hoppe, who directs "Romeo;
and Juliet," plays the part, ofl Frair /

of the tragedy depends. .;; " ^ ^:;
