Weekly Messenger - 1923 July 20

              Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School
VOL, XXII BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY: 20, 1923 NO. 40
Miss Jones greeted the girls of the
Normal at a meeting held Tuesday
morning at Edens hall.
She expressed, the wish that all girls
give her their hearty co-operation to help
make Bellingham Normal the best as
well as the biggest Normal in the West.
She is willing to meet the girls on their
own grounds. To be their friend is her
aim.
Since one of the great world needs of
today is leadership, she believes it should
be sponsored and developed in the Nor­mal
schools. A leader is one who is
trustworthy, responsible, enthusiastic,
and self-confident; one who can co­operate
with people and be active in the
affairs of the community.
. A worthy slogan suggested was, "An
activity for every girl. Every girl in
some activity." It is the hope that the
school may look forward to better ac­commodations
for women's activities,
recreation and study. The way for the
girls to help in organizing their power
is to make their school a vital interest;
observe wide awake organizations and
interesting things which happen in other
large schools, and offer their suggestions.
Miss Jones closed with the line, "We
are to be what we are now becoming."
The girls were much impressed by
Miss Jones' talk and wish to assure her
their loyalty and co-operation. The
remainder of the hour was given over to
dancing.

PASS TRIP TO
TAKE PLAGE ON
JULY 27
Those wishing to make the trip to
Hannegan Pass on July 27, will be in­terested
to learn that the last load will
leave from the old Edens Hall not later
than 5 p. m.
As it is the desire of the party to
camp just above Shuksan on Friday
evening, one load will be sent earlier in
the clay, so that a camp site may be
prepared before dark.
The hike to Hannegan Pass will be
made Saturday forenoon and the party
will return to camp in time for lunch.
Those who wish may, on Saturday aft­ernoon,
climb Goat mountain. This is a
short, easy climb, with a wonderful
view.
On Sunday the party will climb the
slopes of Ruth mountain, cross part of
Ruth Glacier, break camp-in the after­noon
and hike back to Shuksan.
The cost of the trip will be $8.00,
which includes transportation, food, and
the packing of blankets and food into
the pass.. Each person must furnish his
own blankets. Groups will be formed to
care for the preparation of the meals.

STUDENT OF NORMAL DIES.
The many friends of Mary Margaret
Evich are saddened to hear of her death
at a local hospital Tuesday, July 17; Miss
Evich was born in Bellingham nineteen
years ago. She was a graduate of the
School of Assumption, and a student of
the Normal this past year.
Miss Evich was taken sick about a
month ago and was at St. Joseph's hos­pital
three weeks.
She was well known at Normal, and
was a member of the Newman club.
Funeral services were • held Thursday
morning at the Sacred" Heart church.
It is forbidden to park automobiles
near the cafeteria or upon the Training
school playgrounds.
Automobiles driving in the rear of
the buildings, cause dust to sift in
through the windows of the cafeteria
kitchen. This is highly unsanitary. Be­sides,
the noise of starting the ears near
that part of the building makes recita­tion
in the room above impossible at
such times.
The danger of damage to cars left on
the playgrounds should be sufficient rea­son
for keeping them away from that
place.

Philos-Thespians, all hail to thee.
You sure know what a good time is sup­posed
to be.
If anyone doubts, just ask those who
went,
Our places on the next trip are not for
rent;
Saturday morning at seven o'clock
The Tulip sailed away from Bellingham
dock,
The twenty-eight present are here to say
We had a good time all the way.
At Point Roberts dock we boarded a bus,
The natives soon learned that: it was us.
Across the point to Boundary Bay
The car rolled on to our place of play.
Our camp we pitched; our beds we made;
Our meals we cooked; our tricks we
played,
Until Sunday night came at last,
Making our play an event of the past.
To the Tulip again we rode away,
And sailed back home at the end of day.
.We talked, we joked, many songs we'
sang,
But one main strain thru the night air
rang.
With it I'll end my little rhyme.
Hail, Philo-Thespians, we had a good
time.
To the unfortunate ones who did not
go on the Philo-Thespian week-end trip,,
we extend our sympathies.
We left Bellingham Saturday, at 7 a.
m., on the Tulip. With regrets we left
the Oregonians at Lummi Island.
Eggert Burns, while counting the
crowd, said, "There are only twenty-five
here. Oh, no, here is Sam; that's three
more."
Carroll Haeske entertained us most of
the way by his various musical accom­plishments.
Probably the one that lent
the most melody to the occasion was the'

Miss Long and Miss Frank are now
nicely settled in their new office in
Room 17. They will have hours here­after.
When the door is open, everyone
will be welcome; but when it is closed;
it will mean that they are busy.
The old office was rather crowded and
somewhat public because it was used by
Miss Mead and also used as a rest room-.
Miss Mead • will now occupy the whole
office.
