Mid-Quarter Teste
Given This Week
i .
• With mid-quarters out of the
way, the only thing worrying stu­dents
now is whether they will re­ceive
a deficiency slip.
The results are to be reported to
the office by Saturday, Feb. 13, and
grades will come out early next
week. Grades are usually based on
the first five weeks of the quarter,
but this year, because of the en­forced
vacation, they will cover the
first six weeks.
Students receiving a grade of
C or below are expected to confer
with their instructors or advisers
about scholastic difficulties.

and complimented by all who
attended.
Punch was served in the club
room at intermission and a door
prize of a free ticket to the Publi­cations'

Driver.

According to. Lois Jo Smith, com­mittee

Library Association
Drives For Books
• More and better books for our
armed forces" is the aim of
the American Library association,
American Red Cross and the USO
in their 1943 Victory Book campaign
to be carried on between February
12 and February 22.
Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian,
announces that the drive has been
opened in Bellingham with Mrs. E.
P. Spearin as general chairman. All
of the libraries in the city, and
more than a dozen other organiza­tions
are assisting Mrs. Spearin and
will designate a centralized station
in the near future.
Army and navy special services
officers indicate the following type
books as their preferences: current
best sellers and the more recently
published popular fiction and popu­lar
non-fiction; adventure and
western, detective and mystery fic­tion;
technical books published
since 1935 in the fields of architec­ture,
aeronautics, chemistry, draw­ing
machine mechanics and design,
mathematics, mechanical drawing,
meterology, military science, navi­gation,
photography, physics, radio,
shop mechanics; humorous books—
books of jokes, humorous stories,
anecdotes, cartoons, and group
games; pocket books, and other
small sized editions of popular tit­les.
All of these books should be
in fairly good physical condition.
Miss Wilson asks that organiza­tions
in the college carry on the
projects which the sponsors of the
drive have suggested to schools
throughout the nation. These are,
the setting up of book containers,
the organizing of a series of special
book weeks by literary societies, the
discussion of the place of books in
the war, and trie donations of texts
, in the desired subject fields.

DonNealfM.C
Tells Secret
• Precisely at 10:30 p. m. tonight,
a broadcast, direct from the scene
of the fourth annual Publications'
Prom was sent out over the air
waves of the local radio station.

of their school life was given.

name of the princess, she was
crowned by Sergeant Felix Montes,

Staff Has Pictures
Taken For Annual
• Monday at 4 p. m. the Klipsun
and WWCollegian staff pictures
were taken by Sumner Dennon,
Bellingham high school senior. Due
to' a shortage of college photograph­ers,
it has become necessary to em­ploy
outside talent.
The deadline for all Klipsun pic­tures
this year is March 1, owing
to the difficulty of obtaining en­graving
material.

features, and her height is 5' 3".
She loves to dance, and does plenty
of it.
HELEN CODY
There isn't much to add to Hel­en's
biography, because being Mary's
identical twin, her features and
measurements are the same. How­ever,
she spends her leisure hours
at home, because she doesn't work.
Helen also enjoys dancing very
much.
PAT SCOTT
Last January 20, Pat reached her
19th birthday, and is a cousin of
the aforementioned twins. She has
the same dark hair, and hazel-green
Northwest Colleges
Attend Conference
• As representatives of Western
'Washington college, Dorothy Mil­ler,
Art Clark, and Declan Barron,
attended the regional student lead­ers
conference held at the Univer­sity
of Washington last Friday and
Saturday.
The idea of the meeting was for
some of the schools from the state,
as well as Idaho and Oregon, to
meet and discuss problems caused
by the war: such problems as sports
and finances, and the treatment of
the war effort in the colleges.
In a general review of the meet­ing,
Art Clark stated that our
school seems to be a little behind
in regards to the war effort but oth­erwise
we are not .behind.
All students attending had an en­joyable
time. The men students
were housed at fraternity houses,
while the women students stayed
at sorority houses on the campus of
the university.
