The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XVII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1918 NO. 22 Announcements Teachers may accompany such of their classes as they see fit to ses sions of the Rural Life Conference. Stop at the main entrance as you leave the basketball game Saturday night and get a big popcorn ball, furnished by the Hyades club. Everybody bring an extra nickle. L Defeated by Whatcom in the first game.on the latter's floor, last Friday night, our.boys amply redeemed themselves in the contest last Saturday night, by beating their opponents two to one—30 to 15. Whatcom, evidently realizing the futility of another game after such an annihilation forfeited the series to the Normal. Gibbs, their coach, stated further that not only •would an additional game arouse too much bitterness but that it would interfere with his track plans, although he seemed to favor another contest on Whatcom's floor. While we wish the agreement had been adhered to and would welcome another clash, it is hardly necessary, as out of the four halves played we easily copped three. Starting out with the well-oiled teamwork which has characterized the playing of our boys all season, they had no difficulty in winning the first half by a score of 13 to 9 on their opponents' floor.4 Although they strove to conceal it by cheering defiantly, great gloom emanated from the Whatcom rooters as they listened to the jubilant Normal crowd. Especially noticeable in this half and the one (Continued on Page Eight) Perhaps you think it's Hanzel That this picture represents, Chewing on the corner Of the witch's residence. But in the finest art stores; This portrait always sells AS' "Stacy climbs the platform To lead us in the yells." MARTIN ROBINSON H. M. S. Pinafore, said to be the greatest theatrical production of the year, will be presented tonight in the Normal auditorium under the direction of Mr. Robinson. The opera will bet featured by elaborate costumes and scenery, lively music, comical situations, merry jigs and spice and fun in general. Admission is 25c to students, 35c to the general public, and the curtain rises at eight sharp. Cast of Characters Sir Joseph Porter, K. C.

Six productions will take prizes, but as many as possible will be published. The following rules and suggestions should be observed.

An envelop, containing this name, with the real name, should be pinned to or acconipany manuscript. Hand manuscript to Mr. Frisk or place in box F of the registrar's office. The time for closing this contest is April 1, but hand in material sooner is possible. Prizes of $10 and $5 are paid for the two best stories having an original plot. There is no definite word limit set for stories, but 3,000 v/ords is suggested as being a fair maximum. The prizes for two best essays and poems are $5 and $2.50. The essays should be on some current topics of live interest. Others, however, will be considered. Avoid- long introductions. Consider 1,5'00 words as a high iimit. The line limit for poems can hardiy be set. Still 100 lines might be suggested. The subject matter may be humorous or serious, but the latter makes a more lasting impression. We wish to call attention to the fact that we have only two weeks in which to act, so take the first opportunity and get busy. You will appreciate the "Klipsun" much more it you feel that you have sacrificed some of your time and energy for its success. Students, be loyal. Seniors, let's set a high standard for those that come after us. STUDENTS URGED TO SEND SOLDIERS BOOKS Next week one of the most important patriotic campaigns is to be conducted in every locality of the United States. Officially it is called Intensive Book Campaign, and its purpose is to furnish suitable books for our soldiers and sailors both at home and overseas. In the past, several hit-or-miss drives have been conducted and made partially successful, but this one is the first to be announced under the direct supervision of the American Library Association, and the details and directions have been organized and placed in the hands of every school and public librarian. This means that no books will be lost or unused, that only the right kind of books will be (Continued on Page Eight) TUESDAY, MARCH 19— 8:50—Assembly.

Showaiter^^''; JUNIOR CLASS PLAY I Rehearsals for the Junior class play, are now well under way. Under -ti&;. able supervision of Miss Abby"Sum£ ner, "Quality Street" bids fair,to be}: the most successful production,.of ri&e season. \ . "Quality Street" is a quaint and. I'.icturesque comedy of life in a small English town during the Victorian period. The humor is delicate and delicious, the more more refreshing because it is often unconscious on the part of the characters. Miss Susan and her young sister, Phoebe, live in a neighborhood of spinsters, where calm is greatly ruffled by the news that young Valentine Brown is very attentive to Phoebe. But before matters come to a crisis, Valentine enlists. When he bids her good-bye he says, "Your heart is a garden of old-fashioned flowers to me, where nothing wrong or unworthy enters in." Most of the sisters' fortune lost, they decide to keep a school. Phoebe hides all her curls under a cap and devotes herself to growing old and developing into a real spinster. After seven years Valentine Brown returns. Phoebe, the school teacher, does not seem to interest him much. In a spirit of recklessness she dresses like a young girl, and goes: to a ball (Continued on Page Eight)
