Weekly Messenger - 1917 June 30

              THE WEEKLY MESSENGER
Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School
Vol. X V I . B E L L I N G H A M , WASH., SATURDAY, J U N E 30, 1 9 17 No. 37
MISS EXEAN WOODARD
• Dean of Women, B. S. N. S.
Enrollment now 880
The enrollment is now approximate­ly
880, a gain of about ten over last
week's enrollment. One or two ne\\
students each day has been the record
of the last week. Probably from now
on the registration will be light al­though
we have not as yet reached the
nine hundred mark.
Among the recent adventurers into
the sea of matrimony are some whose
faces have been familiar here in past
ages. Miss Esther Hintz and Miss
Joyce Day have consented to be called
Mrs., and Earl Bixby has taken unto
himself a wife.
PIANO-VIOLIN RECITAL.
Friday evening, July 13, at the Nor­mal
and we are to have one of the mus­ical
treats of the summer.
A piano-violin recital is to be given
by Mrs. JUross and Mrs. Engberg, who
will be assisted by Mrs. Nash as so­prano.
This recital is given under the
management of the Lecture course.
These three local artists have so
often delighted us that we believe they
need no introduction. Each student is
admitted to the concert without fur­ther
admission fee. The tickets will
be furnished later to the student body.
The Christian Endeavor of the First
Presbyterian church picnicked at
Squalicum Beach last Friday evening.
Many Normalites were among those
who passed an entirely enjoyable even­ing.
Miss Woodard spent the week-enu
with Miss Baker, at her summer home
on Lummi Island. In spite of the heav^
rain they walked the entire distance?
around the island and visited the Pot-latch
at Strawberry Point.

(By Dr. Nash.)
So many interesting things appear
as one is exploring new fields that it
becomes extremely difficult to select
the few that may be recounted in a
brief letter to home friends. Last
week I should have mentioned the fact
that in the drive from Tacoma to
Olympia I passed American Lake and
found the nation's military camp very
much alive. Tents were going up,
stores and supply houses were in
course of construction, and our soldier
boys were busied here and there about
the spacious grounds. Everything is
very new, and emphasizes the fact
that the country is just getting read>
for its part in the great world war.
