Double A B l i e ASCENDED W Friday Harbor Gang Enjoy Camp at Heliotrope. Songs, cheers and class yells rang over snowy slopes of Mt. Baker Sunday when 16 students of the biological station at Friday Harbor scaled the peak under the guidance of W. L. Cochran, assisted by Jay Harris, scout. The trip was made via Heliotrope ridge; the party left camp at 4:30 a. m. The saddle was reached at 9 a. m., and the summit at about 12:45 p. m. Mr. Cochran, who has ascended Baker more than 20 times, says he never observed a Mt. Baker party in better physical condition than this one was during the journey. "Everyone of them reached the top in fine shape and in a merry mood," he declares. The party had a jolly time sliding down on the snow. Several reclimbed again and again to slide down. / A pleasant evening was spent on Heliotrope ridge with songs and stories, around the camp fire. Next morning the 6 boys of the party went scouting over Roosevelt Glacier. They examined many crevices and found i<vo caves. Rather reluctantly the last two said farewell to Mt. Baker at 10:00 a. m. and after strolling along the stream until 11:00 struck out for Glacier accompanied by two others and arrived in town at 1:00 p. m. After chicken dinner all gave expression of their joy in a Virginia reel on the store floor with hob nailed boots. With cheery farewells they departed hoping to meet again at Friday Harbor next summer. LECTURE ON STARS WJNTERES1E An Evening With the Stars Is Very Instructive. N /. in Examination. WHEREAS, It did please the recreation committee to arrange a trip to the top of Mount. Baker on July 25, and WHEREAS, The commissary department did forget the sugar, much to the joy of those trying to reduce, and WHEREAS, The poor white trash did not compare with the colored regiments when it came to hiking ability, and WHEREAS, Mr. Bond and Mr. Kol-stad did chase Miss Rosene's alpen stock into a crevasse in which it is still hiding, and WHEREAS, Mr. Kibbe did wear his prehistoric bonnet, much to the envy of the delegation, and WHEREAS, The mosquitoes were en tirely absent but the yellow jackets very much at home and resentful of inter ference with their domestic arrange ments, and WHEREAS, A member of the board of control got stung and a prospective member (the youngest of the Bonds) was kicked by a mule, but finished the climb without iconvenience, and WHEREAS, The largest glacier in the United States is fed by the snow fields of Mount Baker, and WHEREAS, Mr. Arntzen did spend so much time hunting moss for his bed that he did have no time to sleep in it, and WHEREAS, The trip was made in less time and more food was consumed than on any previous trip, and WHEREAS, Mr. Burnham was initiated into the glories of our wonderful west . and especially into those of the Mount Baker Lodge, and WHEREAS, A charming young lady was saved from an ice-watery grave by the noble, self-sacrifice of a professor in the Education depatrment, and WHEREAS, Mr. Kolstad is now camp-ing~- on the banks of the Nooksack at Marietta, in hopes of retrieving his lost cap, and WHEREAS, Everyone, by most adroit questions did learn almost nothing about the past, present and future of new members of the camp, and WHEREAS, A semi-active crater, on the very top of the mountain did scatter sulphur on the snow last winter, and WHEREAS, Miss Frank did not care for the halt and the lame, there being none who required her ministrations, and WHEREAS, The last to start are sometimes the first ones home, and WHEREAS, The men of the party did exhibit an ability to produce most handsome beards and at the same time they did show.a most wonderful ignorance of cosmetics, and WHEREAS, People who examine caves • on the" glacier are often too lazy to climb back up for lunch, arid WHEREAS, Detour signs are found helpful in avoiding hornet nests, and" One of the big attractions on the bulletin board during the past week, was the exhibition of the grades of the recent English test. The test was given a few weeks ago, directed by Mr. Fowler of the English department. Considerable time has been spent in checking up the papers. Mistakes wer found to be scattered in the correct usage of the forms of verbs; it was yuite easily seen that spelling was difficult for some. Otherwise the results were satisfactory. Use of the Dual Reference System, which is becoming quite common in the Normal was used to check the grades. This brings into consideration the intelligence of the student, and also the efficiency. Two Double A's Scored. There were two double A's scored out of 285 students who took the tests. The honor retss wht Mrs. Freda Stark Coleman, who is a teacher in the Seattle schools, and Hester R. Heller, a student from the Lock Haven Normal, Pennsylvania. Standard of Boys High. The following is the percent scored: 20% A. 30% B. (Continued on Page Four) (Continued on Page Four) FIVE NEW MEMBERS TO LEADERSHIP SOCIETY Last Friday afternoon, the Leadership Society held a very important business meeting. New members were considered who were eligible for membership. Five new members were elected: Pearl Bart-ruff, Bertha Hibner, Inez dark, Ber-nice Pashley and Warner Poyhonen. Further business was the appointment of a committee to select satisfactory pins for the society. A motion was carried that Zeno Katterle retain the duties of president for the remainder of this quarter. At least ten old members are expected to return this fall. MESSENGER IS HONORED The school has been in a sense honored in that the editor and business manager of the Messenger have been invited to meet with other editors and prominent business men at the state annual meeting of the Washington State Chamber of Commerce to be held at Hotel Wihthrop. Taeoma, August 6th and 7th. Velta Learning and Don Marquis regret thatvthey will be unable to attend. Mr. R. B. Baumgardt of Los Angeles gave a lectuer entitled, "An Evening With the Stars," in the Normal audi-otrium on Tesuday evening, July 28. The lecture was illustrated with slides made from photographs and drawings of the earth's' neighbors. Right Attitude Necessary. Victor Hugo's poem LeLac was recited by the speaker as an invocation and an introduction to his subject. The importance of man in the universe was treated with clever sarcasm. The difficulties of introducing the human factor in astronomical observances were told and the uses of the photographic plates in overcoming these difficulties were de-scirbed. Trip Through Heavens Wonderful. The personally conducted tour of the universe began at the Lick Observatory on Mount Wilson in California. The telescope used there is the most powerful in the world with a lens of one hundred inches and a magnifying power of 250,000 times. Diagrams of positions of the sun, earth and moon at times of eclipse were very fine. Wonderful views of recent total eclipses of the sun were given including views of the corona and of solar flames. The principle and use of the spectroscope were touched upon. Views of other heavenly bodies were were shown and many popular notions in regard to Mars were shown to be pure fallacies. The lecturer, in closing, urged his hearers to go alone some night and spend some time in observing the stars, not with the idea of discovering new worlds but to bring themseves into truer relationship with the Infinite plan. AUGUST 14 DATE SET FOR CAMPUS CAPERS August 14 is the date set for- the Campus Capers this year. The first part of the evening will be spent participating in a special program of games, while the latter part of the evening will be given over to social dancing on the campus. During the various periods of the program the people taking part may refresh themselves with the punch which will be served by the students. The committee who is working out the plans for the evening is Conrad Ness, chairman; Daisy Howard, and Dorothy Anderson. Watch for later announcements concerning the Campus Capers. o PLACESJTWENTY-TWO Normal Supplies Teachers for Alaska and Oregon. WAYFARER APPEALS TO NORMAL STUDENTS Seventy-five students signed up for the Wayfarer, Saturday night, consequently the Kulshan will stay over in Seattle until mid-night so that the stu-dnts may be able to take the boat back.

Charlotte McNaughtoa Many of the players have had previous dramatic experience, and are well suited to their parts. They are entering; into the play and atking the parts of Shakespeare's characters with an interest and truly professional atmosphere which will make a delightful production. This charming comedy is well suited to the natural open air theater. 'The scenes are practically all in the forest of Arden. The good natured breeziness is felt throughout the play, due to the natural scenes and surroundings. The costuming, after that of the sixteenth century, completes the atmosphere and carries one into another world. The play, containing pathos, tragedy, love and merry-makng, is truly "As You Like It," with the desired finish: "They all lived happy ever after." Nothing has been spared to make this play a great success. Every detail of scenery, costuming, cast and atmosphere has been emphasized to make this the best and most delightful production that has ever been given in the Greenwood Theater. o TOIL WORN REPORTERS FROLIC OK QUIET SHORES OF LAKE SAMISH Remember the days of the old swimming, hole when you sought out some secluded spot amongst the bushes where you might leave your clothes without finding upon returning that some diabolical, perverse, *&?$x(|)—angel of Satan had "chawed beef" on you? Well last Friday afternoon the Messenger staff and printers turned back the hands of Time to become again the children of Nature. For that purpose no place could have been more ideal than Griffith's Park, at Lake Samish. Swimming Par Excellence. Delicious water—clean water—and warm; swimming never was better. Everybody swam, though in a couple of cases life preservers were called into service to accomplish the feat. Dancing followed; everything -from the minuet to the Charlton. All the girls tried their hands (and feet) at initiating John Haug into the mysteries of the . waltz and two-step. However, he seemed to have difficulties in distinguishing between the two. ' Horseshoe Tournament. Bertha Hibner and ^Walter Sutherlen were the champion combination in^the horseshoe tournament. The way those two would pitch Tingers was simply paralyzing to all competitors. Then ice cream—gallons and gallons: of it—but a small party—and coming on top of several extra generous servings of salads, beans, sandwiches and pickles. The printers who supplied the ice cream had evidently anticipated a larger crowd. Rowing and Canoeing. In the evening by the "moonlight, with a fresh breeze blowing, couples put put from the shore in canoes and rowboats ; to vie with one another in song and speed of travel. Most of them got;: home at a seasonable hour, however.;~ j
