Many Spectacular Plays Made
Playing a hard, fast game the Vikings
defeated the hard fighting Cheney Normal
Savages on Waldo Field, November
29. This ends the season for the undefeated
Bellingham aggregation, giving
them the State Championship for minor
colleges and universities.
The score 27-13 was the result of brilliant
football by the locals. Cheney
scored on blocked passes. At; no time
was the game in danger. Wilder did .the
stellar work for the Vikings.
The game was called at 11:15. Cheney
elected to kick-off. Thirteen minutes
later the Vikings went over for a touchdown,
Bruland making a spectacular
thirty-yard run. Bruland converted
goal."
In the second quarter Wilder took the
ball over after 32 minutes play. Bruland
failed to convert. It was during
this quarter that Cheney scored. Nelson,
right-guard for Cheney, blocked
MacPherson's punt, and sent it bounding
over the goal line.' for their first score.
The half ended 13-6, in favor of the Vikings.
In the thirds period Wilder .again
scored, carrying the ball through left
tackle for the third touchdown.
During the final quarter each team
scored. Lefevre, Savage left tackle,
blocked Vanderford's punt and the ball
again bounded between the goal posts,
Welsh down. Shepperd' converted goal,
thus making the score 20-13. A few minutes
later Wilder scored Bellingham's
fourth touchdown, Vanderford converted
goal. The game ended with the ball in
thte Viking's possession on the 25-yard
line. ' - - " ';",

PRIZE CONTEST
PAPER CHOSEN
With the aid of Miss Sperry and an
active, enthusiastic committee of students
along with the hearty co-operation
of the student body, Better Speech Week
was fittingly observed by the Normal.
Two assemblies were given over to the
occasion. On Tuesday the program
was composed of the following:
"The.Value of Better Speech Week" by
. Rebecca Arnell.
'•'The; Road to Success" by Donna Mac
. Kenzie.
"The Art of Speech" by Miss Edens.
The main attraction of the Friday's
assembly was the Pronunciation Contest,
in which the Freshman Class met
the Sophomore Class.
In order to make the work of the week
more efficient, posters, cartoons, slogans
as well as numerous magazine articles,
and speeches made by prominent educators
were used by the Educational Institutions
of. America.
Better Speech Week was observed by
the nation as a whole for the fifth time
in the history of this country. It was
brought about as the result of a national
attempt to. preserve the purity of our
language. The United States as a
nation is the first in the world to start
such a movement.
ANNA CASE SINGS
AT M. E. CHURCSH
The Anna Case concert held on Monday
night,.December 3,: was a delight to
Bellingham music lovers. It was given
in the Garden Street Methodist church,
where both the lovely voice of the soprano
. and her charming . manner . endeared
her to her audience.' She was
greeted enthusiastically, and responded
with four encores be'sides her program
of nineteen songsv" '. • ' •
Such, a voice: is not often heard in
Bellinghatn, and great credit is due the
Women's' Musical club, which was instrumental
in bringing Anna Case and
other artists before the public here.

PSYCHOLOGICAL COMEDY
The Moroni Olsen-Pplayers presented
George' Bernard^ Shaw's 'comedy "Candida"
to a large audience Tuesday evening,
Dec. 4, in the Normal auditorium.
The play was an example of Bernard
Shaw's philosophy of living. He gave the
characters certain outstanding qualities
that made them symbolical of a type
rather' than individuals.
Maroni Olsen as the husband and a
clergyman, portrayed the man of decision
and action.
Bryan Fulger, as the poet, saw the
vision of life, and recognized them as
truer than the realities-of the minister.
Candida, loved by both men, sees the
logic of the views of both, but realizing
that in his "physical weakness Eugene
is the stronger of the two' and that her
husband needs her she gives herself to
him.
Admirable character work was done
by all the members of the cast. Candida's,
father with his hackney accent^ the
secretary, and-the young divine were all
excellently.^portrayed. • ./' '• '

The Glee Club of the University of

feature offering is the "Washingtoh-ians,"

the singers, thes company consists
of • a ten-piece "Eccentric Melody" orchestra,
a "Banjo Blues" - artists and
several saxaphone comedians.
Among the members of the club is
Richard Cook, of Bellingham,,, who plays

one of the biggest hits during the first

- On December 4 ,was. given the first of
a series of assemblies featuring Good
Speech Week. Miss Rebecca Arnell
spoke on "the Value of Better Speech
Week, pointing out,the pronunciation of
language', and .the <need for universality.
She"stated that "Words are vehicles of
thought, and English is the tool of our
profession." In closing, Miss Arnell
urged the students to co-operate in making
Good English_Week a success.
Miss Donna MacKenzie's tdpic was
•'The.Roaa to Success,"- in which she
brought-out by means of a fairy tale,
the fact. that. Good .English' is essential
to . success; - that no. matter how many
other excellent qualities one might
possess, without Good English he will
not succeed, ...*.-
Miss Olive Edens talked on "The Art
of Speech:" "The first great art," said
Miss Edens, "is being able to . enjoy
something, and to be aware of it. The
second; art is the communication- of such
enjoyment to. others iii, speecli and in

HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR RATING
: Ratings will be given to individual
students (not posted): in letters that
mean much the same as you receive in
your regular work. A's include 10%.of
the students in the, formal, ,B/s about
20%, C's about are 40%;,' D'sj-are about
20%, and E's about lft%. The average
grade in the Normal will hai|p an L Q.
of about"115, therefore' ilie average "C"
the average of the people in general
Most of our "D's" would.fall in the
C group of the general population.
The following system of grading is
based upon the score of the 975 students
who have taken the test. The average
score was computed and found to be
:slighjtly more *han 193..*. The. standard
deviation was computed ..and found to be
35 points. The entire group was then
divided into fjve groups which were determined
"by marking :both ways from
the average in steps of 35 points for the
two end divisions, leaving the middle
division centered at the score of 193
and covewng 35 points. The five divisions
are as follows:
A—246-282.
B—211-246
1 C-^175-210"." """•
, D—139-174
E—103-138
The highest score possible is 307. The
highest score attained bv a student was
293. • ,
The above grades are not to be confused
with the grades given last year,
which were built up from the tests given
in the •army and- therefore center at a
lower level.' The average score of 193
stands for an intelligence quotient of
116, 16 points above the average citizen
as . represented by-the army. The system
used above is in general accord
with the marking system! used in our
classes and therefore-gives the student
an opportunity to;.compare his intelligence
rating with the'quality of work-lie
is doing—a very worth., .while, procedure.
Plans are being formulated for the
graduation to be held some time before
the Christmas vacation. At this time
59 students will receive diplomas. The
majority are graduating from the two
year course, but some are completing
the three-year's work.

FIVE LETTERMEN BACK;
NEW MATERIAL PLENTIFUL
Class Teams Being Organized
With a half dozen veterans back oh
the floor, and about twenty-five or
thirty aspirants seeking places on the
squad, Coach Carver has reason to expect
that his team this season will repeat
its record of last winter, and again,
win the championship of the Washington
Normals and minor colleges of the
state.
To date, games with both Cheney and
Ellensburg Normals have been scheduled.
Mr. Carver is also negotiating for
games with St. Martin's college, and the
College of Puget Sound. The team also,
hopes to be able to play Whitworth
college and Spokane university.
The Cheney game will be played at
Bellingham on February 2, and the El-lensbrug
game here on February 9. The
usual eastern trip will be made, games
with Ellensburg and Cheney being
scheduled for February 19 and 21. It
is hoped that Whitworth and Spokane
will be played during this trip;
It may be possible for the Vikings to
takei -a' tour"through- Oregon .and~Tne'et
the Pacific and Williamette university
teams. The St. Martin'^ and C. P. S.
games will probably be played during
this tri]>. I •;. •• \y •[ . • . .'
Last year's letter men who probably
will turn out this season are Dawson,
and Keplinger, guards; Vanderford and
Thomas, forwards; and Rankin, center.
In a few weeks the squad will probably
have to be reduced to fifteen or
twenty members., on account of. rather
.limited .training quarters. A gymnasium
'th'd- is* aU\to6 smalt and inconvenient for
the purposes of the school is a considerable
handicap to "the possibility of
having a' championship team.
."Out of seventeen-starts-last season,
Bellingham won fifteen and lost ;only
two. Jt.won;three out of four games
played with Ellensburg, and both games
with Cheney, thus becoming champion of
the/Washington;State Normals. -.
Class teams are also . being . formed
, from .. which letter men are excluded.
Tryouts are being held this week to determine
the* men for "three teams repre- •

PRIZE CONTEST
PAPER CHOSEN
With the aid of Miss Sperry and an
active, enthusiastic committee of students
along with the hearty co-operation
of the student body, Better Speech Week
was fittingly observed by the Normal.
Two assemblies were given over to the
occasion. On Tuesday the program
was composed of the following:
"The.Value of Better Speech Week" by
. Rebecca Arnell.
'•'The; Road to Success" by Donna Mac
. Kenzie.
"The Art of Speech" by Miss Edens.
The main attraction of the Friday's
assembly was the Pronunciation Contest,
in which the Freshman Class met
the Sophomore Class.
In order to make the work of the week
more efficient, posters, cartoons, slogans
as well as numerous magazine articles,
and speeches made by prominent educators
were used by the Educational Institutions
of. America.
Better Speech Week was observed by
the nation as a whole for the fifth time
in the history of this country. It was
brought about as the result of a national
attempt to. preserve the purity of our
language. The United States as a
nation is the first in the world to start
such a movement.
ANNA CASE SINGS
AT M. E. CHURCSH
The Anna Case concert held on Monday
night,.December 3,: was a delight to
Bellingham music lovers. It was given
in the Garden Street Methodist church,
where both the lovely voice of the soprano
. and her charming . manner . endeared
her to her audience.' She was
greeted enthusiastically, and responded
with four encores be'sides her program
of nineteen songsv" '. • ' •
Such, a voice: is not often heard in
Bellinghatn, and great credit is due the
Women's' Musical club, which was instrumental
in bringing Anna Case and
other artists before the public here.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMEDY
The Moroni Olsen-Pplayers presented
George' Bernard^ Shaw's 'comedy "Candida"
to a large audience Tuesday evening,
Dec. 4, in the Normal auditorium.
The play was an example of Bernard
Shaw's philosophy of living. He gave the
characters certain outstanding qualities
that made them symbolical of a type
rather' than individuals.
Maroni Olsen as the husband and a
clergyman, portrayed the man of decision
and action.
Bryan Fulger, as the poet, saw the
vision of life, and recognized them as
truer than the realities-of the minister.
Candida, loved by both men, sees the
logic of the views of both, but realizing
that in his "physical weakness Eugene
is the stronger of the two' and that her
husband needs her she gives herself to
him.
Admirable character work was done
by all the members of the cast. Candida's,
father with his hackney accent^ the
secretary, and-the young divine were all
excellently.^portrayed. • ./' '• '
