Association will hold its eighth annual
meeting in Bellingham, June 26-28. The
session will be held in the Auditorium
of the State Normal school with two
hundred state musicians in attendance.
John Roy Williams, of the Williams'

The Sparger string quartette will give
a program the afternoon of June 28. In
the evening the quartette will give a
second program as a part of the regular
lecture course of the Normal school.
Because of student activity tickets,
all students will be admitted free to
concerts and programs of the conven­tion.
It is rumored that some of the more,
kind-hearted members on the faculty
may excuse students to attend concerts
in which they are especially interested,
when they come during regular recita­tion
periods.
THE EDENS HALL GROUP
ENJOY MIXER
As a means of making the acquain­tance
of each other, the girls of Edens
Hall attended a mixer held in the so­cial
hall after dinner on Friday evening,
June 8th, under the direction of Mrs.
Rose Davis.
Half of the girls took the part of boys
in the mixer march. Everyone had a
merry time, One girl being heard to say,
"Always remember to be a gentleman."
The "orchestra" was labeled "Iva Poyne"
but no one believed it because there was
plenty of pep and life to the music.
Next came the theatrical stunt. Four
divisions prepared numbers which caused
a great deal of amusement. The num­bers
and directors were as follows:
A Musical Comedy.. „.Helen Parsons
A Word to the Wise....Madeline Heckman
The Tragedy of King Tut
Wilma Dubuque
Dumbell Drill Alice Banbury
After a circle two step the girls spent
the rest of the evening in informal
dancing. With such an introduction to
the house, surely all of the girls feel at
home. Other good times can be ex­pected.
