Miss Attwood and Mr. Little were returning the canoe to Silver Beach boat landing after a picnic with Mr. and Mrs. Perry Esterbrooks, at Agate Bay, when a squall came up. It is believed that this caused the canoe to overturn. The Esterbrooks motored to Silver Beach, expecting to meet the yoimg people there but as night drew on and the canoists did not appear, the Esterbrooks became worried. Mr. Esterbrooks tried searching for the young people in a rowboat. The plan was soon abandoned as the lake was too rough for safety, so Mr. and Mrs. Esterbrooks motored home alone to notify, the police. • The canoe, two hats, and two coats were found floating near Agate Bay. The bodies have not been recovered. NEW FACULTY GOMES FROMM^SfAfES Fifteen New Members on Faculty for Next Year. W..J. MARQUIS, New Dean of Men.

The trip started last May 1, when the desire to travel captured them. Their county superintendent suggested a trip to the Pacific coast and attendance at the Bellingham Normal would be quite a change. The boys left the first of May and traveled through St. Louis, Indianapolis, and. Kansas City. In Kansas the top was torn off the Ford by,the wind and many breakdowns and fixups followed. New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, and the Grand Canyon proved very interesting. The travelers drove through California and Oregon. They underwent five hours of fumigation at Portland on account of the hoof and mouth disease in California. It cost them bne: dollar to cross the Columbia river. After arriving in Bellingham June 8, they decided it was the best place they had visited so far, except home. , ' ;: : The other two', boys are how in Se-. attlel Mr. Dickes intends tp stay-here three more 'quarters; but!5 Mr] :Swank will leave for home.<at' the! end of thfe 'summery quarter: ;';:V: •:.!.';';v;: ;.;!• v:'! What are you reading these days? A( downtown news dealer says that it is surprising to note the number of '•True Confessions,'' "Love Story" and "True Story" magazines he sells; Women buy women's magazines, such as the "Woman's Home Companion," and "Mc- Calls." Men buy sports magazines. The best selling publications are the "Saturday Evening Post," "McCalls," "Cosmopolitan" and "American." An incomplete canvas of Normal students reveals a slightly different scale, of popularity. Most of the men express a preference for the American, "Literary Digest,' and the ."Cosmopolitan," while the girls' choice ranges from "Good Housekeeping," and the "Ladies' Home Journal" to the "Century," also "Scribner's" and the "Atlantic Monthly." Incidentally, a "Whiz Bang" was in evidence on a recent week-end hike, and in.the same company travelled Tolstoys "Resurrection." ..: ' / This summer's class in the Library Instruction gives a list of books which have been most inspiring to them during the last year^ Some of the ; books listed follow: "The Perfect; Tribute/' Andrews: "Les; Miserables," Hugo. ; (.'•'"' "Education;0 for Needs "'.of : Life,*' Miller.

After weeks of preparation t i e summer
school chorus, under the leadership
of Mrs. Hedges presented Mendelssohn's
oratorio, the "Elijah," last nighi in the
auditorium.
The oratorio is taken from the Book
of Kings, and is the story of the prophet
Elijah and his efforts to" save Israel
from destruction.
AH solo parts were carried by faculty
members and students, with the exception
of the role of Elijah, which was
portrayed by Dr. Wickens, a local physician,
who kindly donated his services.
Other soloists were Mr. Harrison Rav-morid,
Miss Adele Jones, Miss Grace
Headrick, faculty member, and* Mrs.
Edna Griffin, Anne McGivern, Ruth
McCullough, Thora Linrud, Marguerite
Sadler, and Sheldon Bajema, students.
Gladys Goss and Carl Johnson wf-re
accompanists, combining two pianos on
accompaniments to the chorus, and alternating
in solo accompaniments.
There were seventy-five me others" in
the chorus.
Vigor and splendid harmony marked
the choruses, while sincerity and charm
characterized the solos. The best known
chorus was "He watches over Israel."
Solos deserving especial praise were "It
is enough," by Dr. Wickins; "If with
your hearts," by Mr. Raymond; "0 rest
in the Lord," by Miss Headrick, and
"Hear ye Israel," by Mrs. Griffin.
Miss Jones and Miss McGivern sang
with well blended voices the duet "Zion
spreadeth her hands."
Mrs. Hedges deserves commendation
for her inspiring leadership and competent
supervision-of the-production. -—•

Lake Whatcom claimed two victims
Sunday evening, August 11, when a
canoe containing Eursula Attwood and
Myron Little, both of Bellingham, capsized.
Miss Attwood and Mr. Little were returning
the canoe to Silver Beach boat
landing after a picnic with Mr. and Mrs.
Perry Esterbrooks, at Agate Bay, when
a squall came up. It is believed that
this caused the canoe to overturn.
The Esterbrooks motored to Silver
Beach, expecting to meet the yoimg
people there but as night drew on and
the canoists did not appear, the Esterbrooks
became worried. Mr. Esterbrooks
tried searching for the young
people in a rowboat. The plan was soon
abandoned as the lake was too rough for
safety, so Mr. and Mrs. Esterbrooks
motored home alone to notify, the police.
• The canoe, two hats, and two coats
were found floating near Agate Bay.
The bodies have not been recovered.

W. H. Dickes and Ray Swank, with
two other men, came from Fort Wayne,
Indiana, to' Bellingham, Washington, in
a Ford. The trip started last May 1,
when the desire to travel captured them.
Their county superintendent suggested
a trip to the Pacific coast and attendance
at the Bellingham Normal
would be quite a change.
The boys left the first of May and
traveled through St. Louis, Indianapolis,
and. Kansas City. In Kansas the top was
torn off the Ford by,the wind and many
breakdowns and fixups followed. New
Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, and the
Grand Canyon proved very interesting.
The travelers drove through California
and Oregon. They underwent five hours
of fumigation at Portland on account of
the hoof and mouth disease in California.
It cost them bne: dollar to cross
the Columbia river. After arriving in
Bellingham June 8, they decided it was
the best place they had visited so far,
except home. , ' ;: :
