Fisher of the Normal as general chairman and Mr. Jordan, campaign director, have spent seven days in canvassing donations from local aownspeople and business men. A very enthusiastic support of the fund raising has been shown wherever the workers went. The money will go to the maintenance of salaries, building, extension work, and the entire budget for next year.

CAMP FIRE MEETS Miss Rosene, In First Meeting of Year, Tells Camp Fire Girls How to Get Spirit. struct the main part of the building. o — The University of Illinois homecoming this year was described in the following manner, "The dryest and most peaceful in years." for the Everett paper The Herald intends to move to its new quarters in March and it will then be housed in one of the most modern buildings for small newspapers in the country. The Camp 'Fire Girls met for the first time last Saturday afternoon in the Big Gym for the purpose of getting acquainted and organized. Miss Rosene, who has charge of this work, gave an opening speech in which she encouraged the girls to do all in their power to live up to the rules of Camp Fire this year. "You girls will learn more about Camp Fire and get more of the Camp Fire spirit by being Camp Fire Girls, than you will out of any amount of talking I can do," she said. After Miss Rosene's speech, each girl met with her own group, getting acquainted with its members, and its guardian. It was a real inspiration to see the six groups of twenty girls each gathered about the gym enthusiastically talking about plans for meetings next quarter, Miss Rosene reported. When the business of the meeting was accomplished, games were played, and some time was devoted to learning the Indian air language, or sign language, which the girls have taken up. Since every Camp Fire girl began a health chart, the only refreshments allowed between meals are fruits. Big, juicy apples were therefore served, after which the meeting broke up. , The next meeting of the girls is scheduled for the first Saturday of the new quarter, January 9, 1926, at two o'clock in the Big Gym. All the members are urged to co/ne, as are all girls who are not members, but would like to join in the work. RULES CHANGED BY BOARD OF CONTROL A special meeting of the Board of Control was called Monday night for the purpose of deciding what was to be done' in regard to the last election for student representative, and also to draw up definite election rules'. It was decided that the election be declared void, because or the fact that many votes were cast after the votes had been counted and the results known. This waB caused by the lack of rules governing school elections. The glaring faults in the present system were only brought to light by the tightness of the race for the vacant office. It was also decided that another election be held on Tuesday, December 15. The following letter was received by the Messenger from Frank Kat-terman, who recently left the Normal to teach in Hawaii. Puunene, Maui, T, H. Dec. 2, 1925. To the Messenger: Dear Fellow Students: Greetings from Hawaii, the land of sunshine and romance! Today marks my first week in Hawaii, and I am liking it better as each day goes by. The people here all treat me wonderfully well. I have a very nice place to teach. My work is woodwork, agriculture, and coaching. „ No count to be made until after There are twenty-six women teach-1 the polls were closed. er's <in my school and I am the only | man.

The following rules were temporarily adopted by the board to cover the election: 1. The polls to be open until four o'clock. j Christmas Decorations Give Main Halls Cheer Wasn't it a pleasant surprise when you stepped into the Main Hall last Tuesday morning? The Christmas trees, holly, an' everything took away the everyday look and made you think that old Santa was really on liis way. Edens Hall dining room ha's had a Christmasy air for some time with holly wreaths and evergreen ropes. Two little trees that are lighted every evening really give the dining room a home-like atmosphere. All these decorations mean something. They mean that someone wants you here and someone wants to make your temporary home as pleasant as possible. Their efforts are repaid by your cheerful smile and words in these holiday surroundings. Because even if you did have three finals to take and two note-books due and maybe that check hadn't come yet, you couldn't help but have a wee small feeling that Christmas was coming. And didn't that woodsy smell bring up some memories of how mother used to have you help her put up the fir boughs and twine the stair way ? And maybe it also brings up recollections of how mother used to make you take 'em down alone. But then, burning them was lots of fun. Isn't it a "grand and glorious" feeling to know that another quarter is ended and that we can start in all over again in two weeks ? To those that are leaving for good we wish 'all kinds of luck. To those that are coming back we express the sincerest wish that their grades will not spoil their vacations. Remember there's another quarter coming and that the first six are always the hardest— maybe. Anyway, keep on with that happy smile and holiday feeling. Itight now we're going to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New:Year. [..-•o':: :-^';•';., I f 1 (ftalntbar i MONDAY—Jan. 4. Registration day. Classes begin at S a. m. SATURDAY—Jan. 9.

This is a land of opportunity, now take it from me As I said before, this is my first week here and I have already landed a job for this coming summer as a boss in one of the biggest pineapple factories in the world. I wisli you could have had part of the big pineapple I bought today for fifteen cents. It was delicious! Walter Sears is doing wonderfully well on the Island of Hawaii, as a representative of the La Salle Extension, ,U. of Chicago. He landed the job on the trip over. That's what I call going out and knocking old man opportunity in the head for a touch-, down. Everything is so different here. The trees and shrubs are always green. The moon is the most romantic thing in the world, I believe, as it gleams through the shimmering palm trees, by the side of the moaning sea waves. The girls don't walk around in grass skirts. Ah! What a disillusionment. Nevertheless fellows, it is the one place I don't want to stray away from, soon. If any of you would like to know about the place write to me and I will gladly answer. Sincerely yours, Frank Katternian. Address: Puunene, Maui, T. H. P. S.—A merry Xmaa, everybody. 3. Assembly to be cross checked by assembly attendance record.

These simple words have had the students wondering what it was all about. Still more wonderment when a little one hundred and .fifty pound man wearing -a blue sweater with a white stripe walks up to a big two hundred pound tackle on the football team and in a commanding voice speaks these magic words. Immediately the big fellow reaches back in his left hip pocket and produces the desired hen fruit. The assembly Wednesday afternoon removed all doubt of what it was about. These same W Club initiates displayed their various talents before a large crowd in the auditorium as a grand climax to their initiation into the Club. Those present will never forget that pro? gram and the others who were unfortunate enough to miss it will go through life knowing that they missed one of the greatest displays of talent ever brought together: on one auditorium stage. :/;v;LarryVWerner,,pyesident of the W Club announced the program. The vast throngs seated in the crowded building were brought to their feet when it was announced that Paul Smith, tenor, would sing the Prisoner's Song. But a moment later applause was turned to tears as the listeners heard the clear sweet voice raised in, the national anthem of the rock-crushers. Loren Gray, nationally known by all the girls as the brother of Tal-madge Gray, was announced next.

President Fisher spent the greater
part of last week and this week in
Olympia interested in legislation for
the Normal.
He reports that there is very favorable
development for the library,
though the full amount of $250,000
may not be obtained. He anticipates
that enough will be received to con- a I d department also handles the cuts
Last Saturday afternoon, December
12, Messenger reporters were
given the opportunity to see how the
Bellingham Herald is published.
Mr. Sefrit, of the Herald, first explained
the editorial side of the paper.
In his talk he explained the
"morgue," in which valuable material
is kept for use on the paper. This file
received its name due to the fact
that many names in it are never taken
out until the owner's death. This
file is worth many thousands of dollars
and could hardly be replaced.
Hundreds of words come in to the
Herald over the Associated Press
wires and only*that which is considered
important is used. The stories
are sometimes in sections, part of
them coming at on*-- time and part
at another.
Printing Explained.
The reporters were then shown the
mechanical side of the paper. The
linotype machines were explained
and it was seen how the paper is set
up. After the galleys are set up
from the linotype they are put on
wheeled tables and taken to a lower
floor where the actual casts are
made from which the papers are
printed. The metal used is kept hot
in a vat from which it is pumped
onto the casts. After these are evened
by means of a cutter they are taken
in and put on the press. They are
curved so that they wil fit"the roller
from which they are inked. The papers
are run thru the press, cut, and
folded, with almost unbelievable rapidity.
The students were then taken to
the department where the cuts are
made. The process of getting a picture
ready to run in the paper was
explained at some length. The Her-

chairman and Mr. Jordan, campaign
director, have spent seven days
in canvassing donations from local
aownspeople and business men. A
very enthusiastic support of the fund
raising has been shown wherever the
workers went.
The money will go to the maintenance
of salaries, building, extension
work, and the entire budget for next
year.

CAMP FIRE MEETS
Miss Rosene, In First Meeting
of Year, Tells Camp Fire
Girls How to Get Spirit.
struct the main part of the building.

The University of Illinois homecoming
this year was described in
the following manner, "The dryest
and most peaceful in years."
for the Everett paper
The Herald intends to move to its
new quarters in March and it will
then be housed in one of the most
modern buildings for small newspapers
in the country.
The Camp 'Fire Girls met for the
first time last Saturday afternoon
in the Big Gym for the purpose of
getting acquainted and organized.
Miss Rosene, who has charge of
this work, gave an opening speech in
which she encouraged the girls to
do all in their power to live up to the
rules of Camp Fire this year. "You
girls will learn more about Camp Fire
and get more of the Camp Fire spirit
by being Camp Fire Girls, than you
will out of any amount of talking
I can do," she said.
After Miss Rosene's speech, each
girl met with her own group, getting
acquainted with its members, and
its guardian. It was a real inspiration
to see the six groups of twenty
girls each gathered about the gym
enthusiastically talking about plans
for meetings next quarter, Miss Rosene
reported.
When the business of the meeting
was accomplished, games were played,
and some time was devoted to learning
the Indian air language, or sign
language, which the girls have taken
up.
Since every Camp Fire girl began
a health chart, the only refreshments
allowed between meals are fruits.
Big, juicy apples were therefore
served, after which the meeting broke
up.
, The next meeting of the girls is
scheduled for the first Saturday of
the new quarter, January 9, 1926, at
two o'clock in the Big Gym. All the
members are urged to co/ne, as are
all girls who are not members, but
would like to join in the work.
RULES CHANGED BY
BOARD OF CONTROL
A special meeting of the Board of
Control was called Monday night for
the purpose of deciding what was to
be done' in regard to the last election
for student representative, and
also to draw up definite election
rules'.
It was decided that the election
be declared void, because or the fact
that many votes were cast after the
votes had been counted and the results
known. This waB caused by
the lack of rules governing school
elections.
The glaring faults in the present
system were only brought to light by
the tightness of the race for the vacant
office. It was also decided that
another election be held on Tuesday,
December 15.
The following letter was received
by the Messenger from Frank Kat-terman,
who recently left the Normal
to teach in Hawaii.
