"We are prepared to take care of the
largest crowd that has ever attended a
Summer :Session," said Mr. Baughman, a
few days ago, when asked whether the
Student's Co-op. was ready, and contin­ued,
"We have the largest and most
complete stock of goods we have ever
had and are prepared to live up to the
high standard of service established in
the past."
Students who have been to Normal in
former years well remember the Co-op,
where they were able to buy all the
supplies needed for their work and a
good many other articles not usually
found in Book and Stationery stores,
such as tenns shoes, bathing suits, hand­kerchiefs,
needles, thread, hair nets and
other articles too numerous to numerate
here. New students, before going else­where
for many little odds and ends
would do well to inquire at the Co.op,
as they might be saved a little incon­venience
and in addition might save
something on the purchase, as the Co-op
sells for less than the established retail
prices whenever possible. v
In addition to carrying such a stock
the Co-op maintains a Post Office suth
station where one can transact almost
any post office business he desires.
While the maintenance of the station is
a source of expense and much work, yet
it is felt that the service and convenience
offered the students in their own store is
well worth it.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Tljioa. looking over the groups of stu­dents
on the c a ^ u s ^ d a n the halls and
classrooms, one may-see many familiar
faces,•; those who were here during the
entire year, some who are students of
^former years, : aM^i a great many new

Those who have not bought their
Klipsuns yet will find it to their ad­vantage
to buy them at the Gorop. for
$2.50 while they are available at that
price. Normal students are given the
first chance to buy them, after which
most of the remaining copies are to be
sold to the business men of Belling-ham.
The few that may be left over
will be on sale at $5.00 a copy, after
the close of the summer quarter. Stu­dents
are urged to get Klipsuns before
it is too late.
There are many fine features of this
year's annual as all know who already
have them. The scenic views of Dot
Island, Mt. Baker, Lava Bock Formation,
Chuckanut Drive and our Normal School
are certanly worth while.
Who is there who does not want pic­tures
of the faculty and students ? The
popularity of this division of the Klip-sun
was indicated the last week of the
spring quarter by the numberless re­quests
for autographs. As time passes
these pictures will become a greater
treasure.
Finger the "Leaves from an Alaskan
Calendar," and you will want to see the
land that holds such fascination for those
who have been there. Our poet, Floris
Clark, has done her. share in making
many of us wish we had lived in Alas­ka.
Although the young men are in the
minority as far as numbers are con­cerned,
they are responsible for put­ting
Normal on the map in athletics.
Everyone wants • to have a schedule of
athletics for this year.
No annual would be attractive with­out
the art cuts. These are especially
good this year. The cover design, though
simple, is attractive and has received
favorable comment.
Debate, short stories, girl's athletics,
organizations and the sophomore calen­dar
are well worth the reader's time.
The Klipsun has to be read to be ap­preciated,
however, so each student
should get his before they are ,8.11 sold,
or the price goes up.
"Miss Lulu Bett," presented by the
Normal Dramatic Club, Monday, May
28, was received by a full auditorium,
with an appreciative crowd.
The play was a strong one, and mem­bers
of the cast were universally suc­cessful
in portraying the following roles:
Katherine Schupp, as "Lulu Bett,"
could not have been better suited to the
part as was proven by her ability to
hold the audience.
Dewey Bowman as Dwight Herbert
Deacon, held a domineering part in the
play, and ruled his family as an absolute
monarch".
Adda Wilson, as Ina Deacon, proved to
be a very charming wife and seemed to
hold her own in her ability to portray
the character. ->
Mirian Sherman, as Monona, the mis-chevious
daughter of the deacon's proved
to be a true American youngster with
her ability to portray the feelings of
the child of today.
Oliver Nelson, as Bobbie Larkin,
proved his ability to portray a love-lorn
young man df the,present.
Sloane ^quire, as Mrs. Bett, brought
much applause from the audience with
her clever witticisms. The Grandma role
was well represented throughout the
play. - . •
Jessie Beryle Wilson, as Dian^, Dea­con,
proved to be a modern girl with
her charming personality.
Horace Walker as the handsome Neil
Cornish, soothed many hurt feelings in
the Deacon family. - .
Anugus Bowmer, as Nihian Deacon,
was a hero to be proud of.
We • want to thank all the members
of the student body who turned out for
the play which helped make it a suc­cess.
The box receipts proved to be suf­ficient
to cover all expenses and a small
amount was cleared which will be held
in the treasury of the Dramatic Club for
the: future production "A Midsummer's
Night" Dream," by Shakespeare.
Miss Ruth Waldo, whose engagement
to Paul H. Washke was recently an­nounced,
was the. recipient of many
beautiful gifts at a shower given in her
honor by Miss Mabel Shuey and Miss
Jessie Belton in the lobby ~ of Edens
hall on Saturday afternoon, May , 26.
About thirty of the faculty members
were present to extend their good wish­es
to Miss Waldo, who has made a host
of friends during her brief sojourn in
Bellingham.
As a part of the afternoon's entertain­ment
those present submitted tea
towels upon which they had worked
some design. Miss Ruth Buchholz re­ceived
the prize.
