The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL XVII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEB. 23, 1918 NO. 19 UKULELE CLUB Mrs. Samson is calling for ukulele players. Those who are skilled in the art are requested to respond. A goo:i time is anticipated and much can be learned from Mrs. Samson as she learned how to play her uke from the Hawaiians. By the consent of Miss Ormsby, the recipes given in War Cooking Class will be printed in the Messenger. This is not expected to have any effect upon the note book work. It will still be necessary to take notes on account of the fact that in class many side explanations will be made which will not appear in the Messenger. This action is taken for the benefit of the four hundred and fifty Messenger subscribers who are not students here. YOUR MONEY CAN A ID E—Reason Rightly. E—Eagerness Enters Easily. S—Sensitiveness Soon Surrenders. P—Promptness Pays; Please Pay Promptly. 0—Overseas. Oppression Overpowers. 1ST—Nonsense—"Now - or-Never." S—Selfishness Saps Senses. I—Insist in Insuring Intentions. B—Bear Burden Bravely. I—Imagine Inconveniences Incurred. L—Light-heartedness Lifts Loads. I—Include Interest. T—Take Time Today. Y—Yield Your "Y. M. Fund." —Cales, '18. GOVERNOR TO SPEAK AT IE The Rural Life program committee has received word that Governor Ernest Lister will be present and open the conference with an address. In a recent letter he said, "I am glad for the opportunity of talking to teachers regarding the great problems of country life." The committee is especially pleased to announce that the governor has taken time from his busy life to come to us with a message. The public as well as the students should hear Governor Ernest Lister on March 2, at 9 o'clock. I . SEATTLE'S OFFER J Seattle is making a new and most j splendid offer to the graduates of | this institution this year. She pro- [ poses to take from five to twenty of j our best students into the schools j of the city without the customary | two years experience. The salary j will not be as much as that of the j present teachers, but the promise of | a raise in one or two years is given. THE KLIPSUN STAFF IS The Klipsun staff is now well organized and the various departments are hard at work. We feel confident that with Miss Edens as censor, Mrs. Converse as editor-in-chief and Miss Juul as an associate this will be the best Klipsun we have ever had. Other members of the staff are: Mr. Rosch. Business Manager. Cassie Cales, Circulating Manager. Wynona Graham, Art. Bessie Windley, Faculty. Ruth Petite, History and Alumni. Mary Lathom, Organizations. Fannie Abbey, Senior Class. C. A. Frisk, Literary. Albert Booman, Oratory and Debate. Stacy Tucker, Junior Class. Georgia Springer, Training School. Florence Busch, Dramatics. Jean Coates; Extension. Herbert Davis, Men's Athletics. Ruby Morganthaler, Girls' Athletics. John Miller, Student Life. FORMER STUDENTS Dr. Nash spent last Friday of his trip in Bremerton and Charleston visiting schools. He found that the Normal was well represented in both places. In Bremerton*he met the following: Mamie Davis, May Wall, Dorothy Yates, Verne Smith, Jessie Mason, Myrle Rogers, Mrs. W. Ellis, Mrs. M. Rea, Margaret MaeKechnie, Agnes Iverson, Maude Wahl and Ratchael Vandevander. In September, Miss Winnie Sallow became Mrs. Ellis and February 10th Mabel Bragden became Mrs. Rea. Miss Vandevander has a sister here at Normal. In Charleston he met Pearl Lenherr, Frances Starks, Lillian Nelson, Lorine Carrol, Phyllis Seymore, Miss Olson, Elsie Ridlen, Golda Ridlen, Lee Merriam, Ida Pierson, Lottie Crawford and Mrs. Ora Hinnes. E A S Tuesday morning in assembly, Rev. Mr. Wilson addressed the student body on the topic of service. He referred to what Dr. Nash had just said concerning the Salvation Army at the front. It is doing so much along with the Y. M. C A. and other organizations in connection with the great war. Boys and men over there lie over a bleeding heart. Almost two million of our men have gone away to perform a kind of service. There are so many opportunities for all of us, and so many appeals for aid which we might answer. The great teacher said that he was (Continued on Page Eight) E TERNITY SAYS WELCHMAN Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans delivered his instructive lecture, "What America Means to Me," at the Normal auditorium on last Monday evening, to a large and responsive audience. He was briefly introduced by Mr. Philippi, after which the noted lecturer lost no time beginning with real business. Dr. Evans was born and educated in Wales where he made a record as a preacher and lecturer. He came to America to take the pulpit formerly occupied by the distinguished author and preacher, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, at Springfield, Ohio. Here his work attracted the attention of Lyceum Bureau managers and calls for his service became so insistent that he resigned his pastorate to devote his entire time to lecturing. In the past four years he has filled almost 1,200 engagements. His lecture bubbled over with wit and humor, but it was none the less thrillingly patriotic and should have been attended by every resident in Bellingham. In part, he declared as follows: "We are face to face with a worid crisis. We are in a world struggle which will determine for the immediate future whether principles of democratic freedom or principles of force shall dominate. The decision Avill determine not only the destiny of nations, but of every community and each individual. No life will be untouched. We have passed the period when any one nation can maintain its freedom irrespective of other nations. Civilization has closely linked nations together by the ties of commerce and quick communication, common interests, problems and purposes. The future of free nations will depend upon their joint ability to -devise agencies so that the greatest opportunities for life, liberty and happiness may be assured to all. "The common people everywhere are hungry for wider opportunities to livi. Fraternalism, or universal brotherhood must come in order to save the world from monarchy and our United States is the nearest to that goal. That is why [ took up my residence among you." THESPIAN PLAY READY; NEXT FRIDAY IS DATE Next Friday night the first play of the season will be offered to the student body and the public at large. The name of the play is "Mary Jane's Pa," and it is being given by the Thespian club under the direction of Mr. Glenn Hughes. The audience must not be mislead by the play's title. It sounds like a nursery rhyme or a comic supplement. But in reality it is far from being either. It is a live, dramatic comedy of suburban American life, written wtih an excellent (Continued on Page Eight) CALENDAR TUESDAY— 8:50—Assembly. Rev. Fredrick Engebretson will give a brief address, followed by a musical program under Mrs. Thatcher's direction. WEDNESDAY— 12:55—Choral. 2:35—War cooking. THURSDAY— 10:30—Assembly. Glenn Hughes will entertain students with his poems. 7:30—Thespian club meets. FRIDAY— 2:35—War cooking. THE STORKS FLAP BY IN TWOS AND THREES We had become used to an occasional single addition to the many families in which the Normal is interested, but now it has become almost an epidemic. Mr. Thompson has been swinging his Palmer Method pen with unusual elation for the last few days. Of course we all know why. Who wouldn't if he had just become the proud papa of a pretty baby girl? And then again we understand that a robust young gentleman (very young) has just declared himself to be the brother of one of our students, Miss Edith Hardin, daughter of Superior Judge Ed S. Hardin of this county. Lastly, it has only been a short time since we learned of the birth of a baby daughter to Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hulse. In all the Normal feels unusually favored. TELLS OF TRIP TO BREMERTON On his return from Bremerton, Dr. Nash gave a short talk in assembly on certain interesting experiences he had while away. He had the pleasure of hearing the pastor of the Moody church in Chicago, the Rev. Mr. Reagor, who has just come back from the front. Seven hundred officers of the Salvation Army are working right up to the firing line in the trenches. In the army there is the greatest interest in God. Every man wants to take God out there with him. As the appeal to the men was finished in one meeting, the speaker said, "Now men, I want to know how many of you want to take God with you?" and there was such an unanimous response from them that he thought that surely they could not have understood what he had said. And he tried again with the same result. Just before he returned from Seattle, Dr. Nash had the opportunity to hear (Continued on Page Eight)
