Tloies By Walt Baker WELCOME, SONS AND DAUGHTERS: This weekend is Western Washington's second annual HOMEFRONT celebration. The combined talents of co-chairmen HERB WITT and BARBARA te HENNEPE with their committee heads and members, have turned all their efforts toward the one objective of welcoming back the graduated sons and daughters of our fine school. Although a good many graduates will not be here today or tomorrow, our thoughts are with them, and we especially carry on for those Viking sons who have given their last measure so that we may have the solemn right of free men and women to carry on and enjoy traditions they so fervently loved and so nobly died for. To these men, and to the thousands more, both men and women, fighting the fight for freedom, fighting so that the future Western Washington sons may celebrate weekends such as this, in traditional HOME COMING fashion, we dedicate all the 1944 HOMEFRONT activities. • YESTERYEAR MEMORIES: HOMEFRONT WEEKEND, as most of you know, is a substitute for the former pre-war homecoming events of not so many years back. Homecoming, or Homefront, as it is known for the duration, is an annual and traditional affair at most schools. Because of the war, much of the color and festive atmosphere of former homecomings is missing, but the glory of. those days and of those traditions will always live in our hearts. Here at Western Washington we do not boast a gigantic alumni association," but many who have attended the college on the hill look forward to this week as a time when they can show Junior the kind of a time Daddy's college puts on for the bio" timers": To "them, Homefornt is the week tney come in contact with old classmates or pals and a time when they have an opportunity to say hello to faculty members. All , in all, it's a friendly sort of a weekend, when students both past and present, no matter where they are, will either congregate here on the campus or send best wishes. • FORMER BIG BUGS: Some of the Homecoming chairmen of yesteryear that we will see today or tomorrow will include such known personalities as DAN'BIEGHLE of the Mr. Baker High school staff at Deminq; ALVIN. "SWEDE" ANDERSON, former Bellingham high coach; CLARENCE THUE, LADD SHANGLE, HAROLD NELSON, FRANK TUCKER, DON NEAL, and last years first Homefront chairmen—WALT BAKER and JEANETTE BRIGHT DIEDE. • ROYAL COURT: From an innocent bystander's observation we will attempt to deduce, from a meager acquaintance with the Homefront court and from their pictures, some of the personal characteristics that they may or may not have. First off, Queen of the big weekend, Miss Marjorie SINNETT. It's the eyes in this case and the flow of that long beautiful.hair. She looks extremely tender and docile; if she should shoot a hypodermic needle into a tender portion of your anatomy you'd ask her to do it all over again just so she'd stay by your bedside a little longer. Her mouth shows that she is intelligent and a smile might pop out any minute. ' Cute little MARJORIE is a senior and claims both Mount Vernon and Seattle as her home. She is peaches and cream to a handsome chap, who is the' wearer of the Navy blues. We students and Homefront patrons salute you, QUEEN SIGRID VII. Princess MARGIE MOYER looks as though she's the "life of the party" tvpe. Her picture indicates that while taking out your appendix she'd tell you a side splitting joke. Her eyes show cleverness and originality. We'd take her down to the corner drugstore for a "coke" or to a basketball game. Something informal—a good sport, Margie, an Edens hall resident while" attending school, hangs her hat in a spacious Anacortes home. She also is the dream girl of a white-hatted service man with the Navy. •Princess GLENN IS SUNDBERG is the type of gal we'd take to some high class night spot, or to the Metropolitan Opera . in New York, where they charge you to breathe the air. Imagine her in a long white formal and a wreath of green orchids in her hair. All she'd have to do for our money is sit around and looked bored. (Just like a Camay advertisement.) We'd have fun watching the other fellows wrangle invitations from us. Princess BARBARA te HENNEPE, known as "Babs" to her collegaues, is a captivating, likeable person with easy to look at features, and the type' you'd enjoy watching swimming and hiking with. And the kind you'd like to take home to dinner. Princess Babs is a physical education major and hails from Ridgefield, Washington. The sophs did themselves proud by electing Barbara as their representative in the Royal Court. Princess BERN ICE CHATTERTON. ' Not much is known about this bundle of beauty from the frosh ranks. As she walks by the halls and as you study her picture, you feel yourself being floated away into a dreamy world, with just you and Princess Bernice. She 'is endowed with big possibilities in her remaining collegiate years and you'll be hearing and seeing a lot of this scintillating blue-eyed dream girl. ' W e l l , there it is, gals. Don't be angry if we made a mistake ...WeVe proud of you a l l . .: pictured above are the queen and four princesses of the Home Front Weekend, who are reigning over all the festivities now in progress. From left to right they are: Glennis Sundberg, senior from Bremerton; Barbara te Hennepe, sophomore from Ridgefield; Marjorie Sinnett (Queen Sigrid VII), senior from Seattle; Margie Moyer, senior from Anacortes; and~Bernice Chatterton,freshman from Bellingham. AWS Sponsors li X5ras Toss Your Troubles To The Winds—Get On The Beam; Attend Tuesday's Big Festival By Margaretta Leen Gayety and color will be the theme of the AWS Mardi Gras next Tuesday evening in the student lounge. Your 5 cent ticket will give you $5.00 worth of fun and laughter, to say nothing of the door prize which will go to the holder of the lucky ticket drawn during the festivities. - Are you worried about your deficient subjects? Do you wonder if that man in the service is true to you? Consult the mysterious fortune teller who will attend the Mardi Gras. She will help you with your problems and give you advice on your current heart-throb. If you are too shy to ask that sweet young thing for a dance at the Mardi Gras, send her a telegram from one of the booths. For a nickel you can hire a John Alden to sing her a love^-song. Or if you have long been tortured by a suppressed desire to gamble, try the penny-toss, a game which' might give you that warm jingling feeling in your pockets. Almost every booth will have a-prize—bingo, fishr pond, and dart-throwing. Serpentines and confetti will whirl you into a mood of exhilira-tion. Laughing faces will make your spirits soar. Yet all these pleasures will not be empty, for every nickel you spend will send WWCollegians overseas to the former students who are now in the front lines. Remember the slogan, "Empty your purses and fill their loneliness." Studes Stage Rally With a Serpentine and a fresh laid bonfire, WWCE studes will stage a pep rally on Saturday night at 6:15 at the intersection of the infirmary and the Sehome road. "Some of the best school spirit will be shown as the yell leaders lead the rooters into some dynamic yells. Coaches and Captains of both teams will be there to stir up some pep," said Cale Campbell, chairman of the rally. A parade will lead rooters from the bonfire through town and back in time for the game. Home Front Issue Honors Hill By Walt Baker Thewar;'ta many of us/stilr seems distant; somewhat unreal: More and more frequently, however, it is striking close to home and we are made to realize that it is our own boys from this very campus/who are helping to bear the brunt of the world-wide conflict. * 4 ^ « ^ Not so many days ago, or so it i s | | p l i | | | | seems, we had in our midst a ifellliill lRllflllllllll blonde-thatched fellow who probably is a stranger to most of you. His name is Evan Hill, the first WWCollegian editor in this war to feel the sting of enemy bullets. Evan, wounded in action in France, in September, is having a slow convalenscence now in an allied hospital in the European area. To Evan, we the present staff of the WWCollegian, dedicate this Home Front issue, in the hope that he will be entertained and perhaps pleased. We thank God that he still lives to join with us in a future homecoming celebration. To Evan, then, and to the many other hundreds of Viking greats, both men and women, we wish Godspeed. To those who represent those gold stars on the service flag in the Main Building, we say with deep gratitude, "You gave your all." We, the students who are taking your places on this campus, appreciate and commemorate the unselfish contributions you all have made and are making to the future of this country. We promise to join you in the responsibility of making sure that your efforts shall not have been put forth in vain. Service Stars Number 788 By Joan Haggard Many of the old grads coming back today will notice the service flag in the main hall. The number, 788, signifies the men and women from this college who are now in the armed forces. Gold stars are many, too. WWC seems to have had more than its share of casualties. It seems hard to believe that these former students * who were so prominent and liked so well are gone. Even thought they can't be here with us for our Homecomings they will never be forgotten. Those listed as missing or dead are: Raymond Barnes, Joe Dwel-ley, Jack Jensen, Harold Jevning, William McNeill, Chester Orloff, Edgar Slentz, Charles Starkovitch, Arthur Toothman, Pete Gudyka, Harold Nelson, Vernon Smith, Ed Muscutt, John Schubergr Matt Wheeler, Gage Chetwood, John Nix, Eugene Garst, Jeff Tesreali/ Richard Mock, Jim Junkin and Harold Johnson. Clinta Campbell, who was a Wave, is the only WWC woman known to have lost her life in the line of duty. •- .•- ••'•.-• Radio Class Gives Two Broadcasts Every Wednesday morning at 10:15, a group of girls present fairy tales, and stories for children over KVOS. This was mainly started for children in the Orthopedic ward of St. Joseph's hospital. "The College Newsweek In Review" is a program given every Thursday afternoon at 4:49*. Each week a student editor is appointed and it is his or her duty to find material, give assignments, and have the program ready to broadcast on Thursday. This is a program to tell the people in Bellingham and vicinity just what is going on up here at the college on the hill. Visitors On Campus Inspecting the campus school last Monday were Mr. Watt Long, assistant superintendent of schools, Dr. Vernon Anderson, director of curriculum, and Mr. Paul Pinckney, director of secondary education, all from the Portland school system. Following their tour, the men had tea with the faculty of the college. Game Climaxes Vi^s Oppose Drama Presentation 'Junior Miss' Featured Attraction Margaret Keehn Plays Lead; Large Supporting Cast "jM*or Miss,"' the Division of Drama penthouse play, will be presented tonight and tomorrow afternoon in the Edens Hall Blue room. The play, one of the featured attractions of Home Front Weekend, was given for the first time last night. <• ' Margaret Keehn, freshman, plays the leading role of "Judy" in the play, and the rest of the cast-is as follows: "Harry Graves," the father, Pitt White; "Grace Graves," the mother, Marilyn Manuel Wike; "Lois Graves," their 16-year old daughter, Persis Reynolds; "Hilda," the maid, Ethel Martispn; Puffy," Judy's best friend, Patsy Cooper; "J. B. Curtis," a family friend, Don Neal; "Ellen," his daughter, JoAnn Elwell; "Willis Reynolds," Bob Searl; "Barlow Adams," Alfred Clement; "Merrill Feurbach,' Merlin Reeck; "Tommy Arbuckle," Curtis Borchers; and "Haskell Cum-mings," Lloyd Jones. V. H. Hoppe, dramatic coach, is director of the play, and the student director assisting him is Shirley Olsen. Edens Sponsor Open House -This year the girls at Edens Hall are sponsoring not only their annual Christmas Tea, but also open house for service men, which is called "Fireside for Service Men." There was a debate as to whether they should have open house or the Tea, so' in conclusion they compromised and decided to have both. The Tea is to be held December 3, in the Blue room. This affair being traditional will be very formal. The Edens hall choir will sing and there will be a piano solo by Dr. Arthur Hicks. Tea and cakes will be served during , the evening. Co-chairmen are Shirley Olson and June Shom-shok. '• Fireside will be held December 10, in the club room, which will be decorated to carry out the illusion of Christmas at home. "It is to be an informal affair with games and songs," announced Glennis Sundberg, co-chairman, "and things the boys* want to do." Posters will be made and invitations sent to the Chaplain for the men at Ault Field, Oak Harbor, and other near bases. Co-chairman are Peggy Custer and Glennis Sundberg. Coronation Climaxes Morning Assembly With the crowning of Queen Sigrid VTI as the climax to this morning's assembly, the Home Front program has really started. Marjorie Sinnett, reigning over the weekends activities with her princesses. The remainder of the assembly hour was taken up by the various skits from school clubs and surrounding houses on the campus. These annual skits included ones from Edens Hall, which showed a scene on the front steps; Alkisiah, with ghosts as their theme; the WWCollegian, putting out their weekly paper; WRA, a barnyard: scene; AWS, with the title of "Manners for Millions of Modest Maidens," shows how the girls should act when they take the boys out; . Daniels Hall, with the UBC game in view; and Vanadis Bragi, Hospice Inn, and Blue Triangle, all -.with Home Front themes. Second Day; Foster To Captain Vikings To Probable Victory Over Strong Canadian Team Basketball will take over this year as the climax to Home Front week, with the Blue and White opposing the strong UBC quintet Saturday at 8:00 p. m; Football has always been the big game in the past, and will be greatly'missed by all the old grads, both at home and in the service. Last year there wasn't a homecoming game and it just didn't seem like college. The Vikings will really have to play ball to dump the thunderbirds as they a boast a very rangy and experienced squad. UBC beat the Vikings by two points last year arid they have all but one of their men back this year. Lappy's straight line de- . fense will probably give the Canadians plenty of trouble and may mean victory for the hilltoppers. Paul Foster, diminutive guard, will captain the Blue and White. Luncheon Highlights Saturday Activities The second big day of the Home Front Weekend will get off to a - start by a luncheon in the Edens Hall dining room tomorrow at 12 oclock. Individual place cards will simplify the seating arrangement for the many guests who- are planning to attend. Presiding over the: fdrinsl :Kmchr eon will be Doris Tedford,, ASB prexy, dietUllin, of the Seattle public school system a^d popiilar former student ok WWC* .wltt^ leadv;^ the guests in community singing. The main address will be given by Frank. M. Brock, assistant superintendent of the Seattle schools Stanley I. Thompson, principal of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Mary Bond Lash, president of the Alumni Association, will also speak. Marge Sinnett, Home Front queen, will present a gift to the oldest graduate present at the luncheon. Tickets have been on sale all week in the main hall. Sales close on / Thursday. The hall will be decorated in true WWC colors and style, with flowers and blue and white streamers adorning the room. Dance In Lounge Ends Activities To wind up a full day of Home Front activities there will be a dance in the Student lounge Saturday night following the basketball game. With new records, cakes served throughout the entire evening, and a home coming and Viking theme, everyone is urged to come over from the gym to end up the evening with a bang!

Evan, wounded in action in France, in September, is having a slow convalenscence now in an allied hospital in the European area. To Evan, we the present staff of the WWCollegian, dedicate this Home Front issue, in the hope that he will be entertained and perhaps pleased. We thank God that he still lives to join with us in a future homecoming celebration. To Evan, then, and to the many other hundreds of Viking greats, both men and women, we wish Godspeed. To those who represent those gold stars on the service flag in the Main Building, we say with deep gratitude, "You gave your all." We, the students who are taking your places on this campus, appreciate and commemorate the unselfish contributions you all have made and are making to the future of this country. We promise to join you in the responsibility of making sure that your efforts shall not have been put forth in vain. Service Stars Number 788 By Joan Haggard Many of the old grads coming back today will notice the service flag in the main hall. The number, 788, signifies the men and women from this college who are now in the armed forces. Gold stars are many, too. WWC seems to have had more than its share of casualties. It seems hard to believe that these former students * who were so prominent and liked so well are gone. Even thought they can't be here with us for our Homecomings they will never be forgotten. Those listed as missing or dead are: Raymond Barnes, Joe Dwel-ley, Jack Jensen, Harold Jevning, William McNeill, Chester Orloff, Edgar Slentz, Charles Starkovitch, Arthur Toothman, Pete Gudyka, Harold Nelson, Vernon Smith, Ed Muscutt, John Schubergr Matt Wheeler, Gage Chetwood, John Nix, Eugene Garst, Jeff Tesreali/ Richard Mock, Jim Junkin and Harold Johnson. Clinta Campbell, who was a Wave, is the only WWC woman known to have lost her life in the line of duty. •- .•- ••'•.-• Radio Class Gives Two Broadcasts Every Wednesday morning at 10:15, a group of girls present fairy tales, and stories for children over KVOS. This was mainly started for children in the Orthopedic ward of St. Joseph's hospital. "The College Newsweek In Review" is a program given every Thursday afternoon at 4:49*. Each week a student editor is appointed and it is his or her duty to find material, give assignments, and have the program ready to broadcast on Thursday. This is a program to tell the people in Bellingham and vicinity just what is going on up here at the college on the hill. Visitors On Campus Inspecting the campus school last Monday were Mr. Watt Long, assistant superintendent of schools, Dr. Vernon Anderson, director of curriculum, and Mr. Paul Pinckney, director of secondary education, all from the Portland school system. Following their tour, the men had tea with the faculty of the college.

Edens Sponsor Open House -This year the girls at Edens Hall are sponsoring not only their annual Christmas Tea, but also open house for service men, which is called "Fireside for Service Men." There was a debate as to whether they should have open house or the Tea, so' in conclusion they compromised and decided to have both. The Tea is to be held December 3, in the Blue room. This affair being traditional will be very formal. The Edens hall choir will sing and there will be a piano solo by Dr. Arthur Hicks. Tea and cakes will be served during , the evening. Co-chairmen are Shirley Olson and June Shom-shok. '• Fireside will be held December 10, in the club room, which will be decorated to carry out the illusion of Christmas at home. "It is to be an informal affair with games and songs," announced Glennis Sundberg, co-chairman, "and things the boys* want to do." Posters will be made and invitations sent to the Chaplain for the men at Ault Field, Oak Harbor, and other near bases. Co-chairman are Peggy Custer and Glennis Sundberg. Coronation Climaxes Morning Assembly With the crowning of Queen Sigrid VTI as the climax to this morning's assembly, the Home Front program has really started. Marjorie Sinnett, reigning over the weekends activities with her princesses. The remainder of the assembly hour was taken up by the various skits from school clubs and surrounding houses on the campus. These annual skits included ones from Edens Hall, which showed a scene on the front steps; Alkisiah, with ghosts as their theme; the WWCollegian, putting out their weekly paper; WRA, a barnyard: scene; AWS, with the title of "Manners for Millions of Modest Maidens," shows how the girls should act when they take the boys out; . Daniels Hall, with the UBC game in view; and Vanadis Bragi, Hospice Inn, and Blue Triangle, all -.with Home Front themes. Second Day; Foster To Captain Vikings To Probable Victory Over Strong Canadian Team Basketball will take over this year as the climax to Home Front week, with the Blue and White opposing the strong UBC quintet Saturday at 8:00 p. m; Football has always been the big game in the past, and will be greatly'missed by all the old grads, both at home and in the service. Last year there wasn't a homecoming game and it just didn't seem like college. The Vikings will really have to play ball to dump the thunderbirds as they a boast a very rangy and experienced squad. UBC beat the Vikings by two points last year arid they have all but one of their men back this year. Lappy's straight line de- . fense will probably give the Canadians plenty of trouble and may mean victory for the hilltoppers. Paul Foster, diminutive guard, will captain the Blue and White. Luncheon Highlights Saturday Activities The second big day of the Home Front Weekend will get off to a - start by a luncheon in the Edens Hall dining room tomorrow at 12 oclock.
