School Annual Epitomizes all That is
jrfest in School Life.
' The Klipsun epitomizes all that is best
.in Normal School life. It is a record of
achievement. Hundreds will keep and
cherish it as a memorial of some of the
happiest and finest days of their life.
Everyone who has a hand in the task
wants this year's book to be a monu­mental
achievement, surpassing all pre­vious
attempts—a bood that, both in ap­pearance
and contents, all subsequent
generations of students may strive in
vain to equal.
Two hundred fifty literary and il­lustrated
pages bound in a beautiful
blue Castillian. cover, an artistic and
living record of Normal activities for
1922-23—will be this year's Klipsun.
Eggert Burns and Robert Caulkins,
Editor and Associate respectively, may
never be literary genuises but they un­doubtedly
will put out a Year Book that
will surpass both in size and quality any
Annual ever put out by the Bellingham
Normal.
The Klipsun is put out. not in the in­terest
of any individual nor any certain
group of individuals but for the good
of all the students of this school.
As has been iterated and reiterated
through the columns of this paper, the
publishing of the Klipsun is a costly un­dertaking.
Every student must put his

TELLERS P
DEBATE TEAM IS READY
TO START
For the past two weeks, members of
the Leowyrhta or Story Telling Club
have contributed their talent to eight
programs.
They have told stories to P. T. A.
meetings, local and also those of near-by
communities and assisted at several
assemblies and missionary meetings.
From all reports the girls are being
enthusiastically received, and orders for
programs are continuing to come in.
Among other recent engagements they
have filled are entertainments at Har­mony,
Lawrence, Sehome school, Wash­ington
school and a Presbyterian tea at
the home.of Mrs. E. T. Mathes.
The debate teams are being rapidly
brought into shape for the Inter- Nor­mal
Triangular debate which takes place
on the evening of Thursday, March 1.
This debate has been an annual event
between the three Normal schools of the
state, since the offering of the Guy S.
Allison cup by a Bellingham alumnus,
two years ago. According to the rules
of the contest the school which wins the
cup for three successive years may claim
permanent ownership.
For the past two years Cheney has se­cured
the judges decision; so the coming
debate will decide whether or not the
Allison cup will find a permanent home
in her halls.
In the debates this year, the affirma­tive
team in every school will debate
at home and the negative team will
travel. The Bellingham negative team
will go to Cheney; Cheney's negative
EDITOR ELECTED FOR THE
Mrs. Carl Irish, who has served as ed­itor
of the Messenger for the past quar­ter,
was again selected for that position.
Monday by the Board of Control at their
regular meeting, her re-election being
based upon efficient service during her
previous incumbency.
The choice of a trained editor for a
second term is a decided step toward a
better type of school paper, a demand
for which has been insistently expressed
by students and faculty.

BLUE AND WHITE BRING
BACK THE STATE
TITLE
The results of the four games played
in the Eastern part of the state during
the past week, gave to the Bellingham
Normal the much coveted title of Cham­pions
of the Washington Normals.
The eastern trip was made by Coach
Carver and eight players, the group
leaving on Monday morning and return­ing
Sunday.
The first two games were played at
Ellensburg, Bellingham winning the first
game 26 to 22 and losing the second
game 27 to 31.
The third game was played at Cheney
with the Cheney Normal, the final score
being 33 to 27 in favor of Carver's men.
It was the result of this game that the
Bellingham fans so patiently awaited, as
on the result hinged the Blue and
White's chances for the state title.
The fourth game "was pin yed with
Spokane College, with a resulting score
of 17 to 39 in favor of Spokane Col­lege.
The three games in which the Blue
and White hoopsters had participated re­quired
all their pep and consequently
they could not handle Spokane college
as they had wished.
The student body as well as the many
Bellingham followers of the game, have
nothing but praise for Carver and his
team.
The games played this season and the
scores are as follows:
Normal, 50; Edison, 15
Normal, 74; Ferndale, 12.
Normal. 34; Fairhaven, 17.
Normal 48: Y. M. C. A., 23.
