              The Weekly Messenger
Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School
VOL.XXII BELLINGHAM, WASmNGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1923 NO. 25
Spring weather and the thought of
trips has turned all eyes toward Nor-malstad
with the result that various
clubs are thinking about selecting lodge
: sites. The -hope of the student body,
i however, is to build a general student
body lodge, which as the all inclusive
.camp of the students of Bellingham Nor­mal,
should have first choice of site.
With this thought in mind, the Board
of Control met with the purpose of lay­ing
plans for -investigation and the for­mulation
of a general rule of guidance
for clubs and choosing sites. The com-
.mdttee of investigation, as chosen by the
.Board, is composed of the following:
Mr. Kolstad, Mr. Bond, Mr. W. Thomas,
Winifred Nelson, Rebecca Arnell, Nellie
Brown, Marjorie Downs, Mary Shepherd,
'Will .Benson, Dewey Bowman, and Arch­ie
Thomas. This committee will make
the trip to the eighty and will choose
a site for the main Student's Association
lodge.
The dockiat Nprmalstad, which prom­ises
to be the largest on the lake, is
now almost completed.

Third Prize Awarded.
Unable to come to a decision in the
•choice of the third prize short story, the
ijudges have come to the conclusion that
itwo stories merit the prize. The tie
jstands between Julia Semple's "On the
•Way," .and: Carroll -Haeske's "The Man
'Who Came'Back."
"On the Way" is a cleverly written
: story in Mary Wilkin's New England
style. "The Man Who Came Back," with
dts setting in a mining camp of the
•North has an intensely interesting plot.
(Entirely different in type, the stories
"rare, however, considered of equal merit,
and as such,.both will receive the third
prize, of a Klipsun.

NOTICE.
All third and fourth year students are
urged to meet in room 115, at 12:30,
Friday. It is a get-together meeting, to
make final arrangements for a Saturday
outing.

CORTOT TO BE LYCEUM
Not since Paderewski first startled
America by his genius, lias any pianist
met with such instantaneous success, as
Alfred Cortot, who is to appear in the
Normal Auditorium on the night of April
.10th at 8:15 o' clock.
A player of remarkable imagination
and fire, of strongly marked individual­ity,"
Cortot is a master musician "sane
and wholly non-decadent in his tenden­cies."
"He can thunder like a Titan and glide
over those same keys a moment later
with an almost swan-like touch." That

REBECCA ARNELL I
OFFICE
Miss Rebecca Arnell, one of the prom­inent
and active students of the school,
who was elected to the Board of Control
to fill the remainder of Tina Pearson's
team took office Monday.
Miss Arnell is a Freshman, but her
record of achievements for the past year
has already made her well known and
liked by the members of the student
body and faculty. She has made a
name for herself not only in debate but
in . scholarship as well.
Although Miss Arnell's term as a
member of the Board of Control expires
the latter part of April, she is a candi­date
for President of the Associated Stu­dent
Body, and it is generally beleived
that her chances for election are of the
very best.
The first of a series of extension pro­grams
was put on by .the music depart­ment,
under the direction of Miss Bel-ton,
at Lawrence, Friday evening.
The event was further proof of the
excellent musical material which is to be
found within the Bellingham Normal and
effectively reflected credit upon the effi­ciency
Miss Belton displays as a di­rector
of musical activities.
The program, which follows, . will be
repeated at Everson tonight. The
charge of admittance is to be slight, and
students who have some means of con-

EASTER SERVICES WILL
BE IMPRESSIVE
On Easter Sunday the Y. W. C. A. girls
will hold their customary early morning
services on Sehome hill. This is the sev­enteenth
one, which has been held, and it
promises to be one of the finest yet.
Miss Emma Kilthan will tell the Easter
story, Rebecca Arnell will speak on the
topic of the Resurrection, and Vivian
Gunderson will deliver The Message of
the Cross. Easter songs will be sung at
the service. A hearty invitaion is ex­tended
to all normal girls, regardless of
whether or not they are members of the
Y. W. C. A.
The girls will meet at the Old Dormi­tory
at 6:15. Don't miss this opportun­ity
to enjoy worship in the great out­doors.
L TO TRY
FOR TULIP QUEEN
THIS YEAR
Following the announcement of plans
for election of the 1923 Tulip Queen,
definite plans have been made for the
nomination of a Normal girl for the of­fice.
Nominations are now under way,
twenty names, or signers being required
for nomination. At the close of nomina­tions,
a .committee of six, three of whom
are faculty members, and three repre­sentative
members of the student mem­bers,
namely: Miss Druse, Miss Wilson,
Mr. Hoppe, John O'Rourke, Maurice
Thomas and Leland Rankin, will act as
judges, in the selection of a candidate
from among the various nominees.
From all indications, the committee
will have no easy task in the selection
of a candidate, as many of the most
popular and best looking girls of the
Normal have been suggested. Ruth Lar­son,
Nellie Brown, Helen Armstrong,
Katherine Myers, Margaret Hayward,
Marian Eager, and Regina Frank are
among the names thus far suggested.
After this preliminary step of selec­tion,
it will be necessary to obtain ap­proximately
15,000 voting blanks, in
order that our nominee may even sur­vive
the primaries. Consequently, all
students of the Normal are urged to clip
coupons from the daily papers, and drop
them in the outer office, on the Main
floor.

IS
It is said that "it is an ill wind that
blows nobody good." This fact was ma­terially
substantiated in the recent pur­chase
of a Steinway baby grand piano,,
through the agency of Harter & Wells
Piano Company, at a cost of $1,450.
A new instrument, for platform use
only, has been a long felt need within
the Normal school but when, on the day
preceding commencement, the old audi­torium
piano was seriously injured while
being moved to, accommodate the Train-.
ing school orchestra, the need became
acutely realized.
Few of the stduents were aware that
it was necessary to get a tuner on very
