TRIPS

evening hiking trips have been planned
preparatory to the Mt. Baker trip. If

Dr. Hughes who will give you a card
stating that you are 0. K. Present this
card to Miss Long, who will place your

The Hannegan Pass trip was taken
for the first time last summer and is
said to surpass even the Mt. Baker trip.
A regular hiking suit is to be worn
on the trips to Hannegan Pass and Mt.
Baker. Bloomers are not a substitute
for a hiking suit. In fact, bloomers are
not to be worn on any of these trips.

L TO HAVE
AFFAIR
Mr. Philippi is endeavoring to assem­ble
the remaining parts of the radio
set in order that we may enjoy the sum­mer
concerts of the surrounding terri­tory.
The radio to be used here is of the
vacuum type, having a receiver and two
stages of amplification; also a loud
speaker which will make, it possible for
the broadctsting to be heard in all parts
of a large room. Upon the installation
of this set we will be able to receive
broadcasted concerts and lectures from a
radius, of several hundred miles. For
-instance, a song given in San Francisco
or interesting lectures delivered in Cal­gary
may be enjoyed by the students of
the Normal.
A large number of students attended
the annual summer mixer at the Normal

parts, Miriam Selby acting as chairman.

Music Schirrman's Orchestra
One of the most interesting numbers
was the "Sketch." Its interest was large­ly
due to the unique way in which the
grave was mixed with the gay, and
the "dead" shook with laughter until
even the "tomb" smiled. The "corpses"
as well as the audience were in a weak
condition as the curtains were drawn.
After the campus contests all soothed
their throats with punch and wafers.
Some way or other everyone who
wished to dance found room, although
the gym could have been larger. A fea­ture
of the evening that caused a great
deal of sport was the balloon dance.
"Now, you see it, now you don't" was a
common occurrence. Pop! pop! bang!
One ballon after another was stepped on
or punctured. During the last dance,
streamers of confetti were tossed over

Assembly Announcements:
Students are asked to take the front
seats at Assembly. They are just as
comfortable as the others and the an­nouncements
will be more plainly un­derstood.
Two- boat excursions are scheduled
for this summer, one to Sucia Island,
July 7, and the other to Victoria, July
21. Those wishing to go should report
at once, in order that the necessary ar­rangements
can be made. The nominal
sum of two dollars for each is to-be
charged. -
The attendance at Assembly has been
very poor, and unless it improves great­ly,
it will be made compulsory.
