This week, little Altte Biggs, the pride and joy of South
Colby and a swell editor, has tendered me the honor of writing
his last front page column. Yours truly is on a week's vaca­tion
from1 Uncle Sam's-sea rovers (in other words, the fleet).
When the first of July rolls around, numerous friends from
Bellingham and Western Washington college will bid Al fare­well
and wish him oceans of luck and success during his three-year
stay with the Army Air corps. I'm going to miss Alfie,
we're all going to miss himfana* his friendly manner, his pleas­ing
personality, his unforgettable, boyish smile, his fine sports­manship,
not forgetting the work he has done to make West­ern
Washington's Collegiafi^an ail-American.
SUCCESS NOTE . . 0
Word from the Arrny^ Air corps training school at Santa
Mlaria, Calif., states that;'" J
three Western Washing^
ton college gents, Roy
(Butch) Franko, Don
(Duck) Bell, and George
(Lanky) Moscrip have
advanced to the senior
class of the school. The
future lieutenants will be
f l y i n g officers in six
months time.
While on the subject
of defense, we might
mention that many of the
men leaving our portals
next week will be ushered
off to army camps for a
year's training. Among
those who are definitely
slated to report are Ken
McAulay, Louie Geri,
Ralph Nurmi, and Russell
Jackson. Harold Booth,
of Vader, Wash., reports
to Northwestern univer­sity
next week where he
will attend school to be­come
an ensign in our
expanding navy.

Herbert G. Heath Recalls Early Days
Of Alma Mater, Way Back When-
Returning to his alma mater to
interview prospective teachers for
his school system, Herbert G.
Heath, superintendent of Woodland
public school, was on the campus
last Tuesday.
Noting the many changes on the
campus since he attended the
Campus gade school in 1908, Heath
reminisced about the sources of
some of the poular school traditions
of today.
"It was the class of 1912 that
started the custom of the gradu­ates
placing their cards beneath
the cement block in *he Senior
walk. You see, before 1912 there
was a board walk where> Senior
walk now lies, extending from the
main building to Edens hall which
was south of the main building in
those" days."
"The class of 1912 placed the first
cement block in this wooden walk
with the numerals of the class on
it. The rest of the walk was left
in^wood," Heath continued.
Money for the block was raised
by the class play, entitled "You
Can Never T^ell," and had as actors
many who are leaders in the field
of education. Among the thespians
of that day were Harrison Heath,
who was ASB president at 18 years -
of age and who is now personnel
director of San Jose Teachers col­lege;
as well as Dr. Arne Jones of
the education aepartment at Pa­cific
college; Charles Becken, prin­cipal,
at Olympia; , Henry Robers,
superintendent of Stevenson; and
Phillip Hogan, industrial arts in­structor
at Sedro-Woolley.
By 1916, which saw the arrival
of Dr. George W. Nash the new
president of the school, a complete
cement walk was installed and the
tradition of taking up a cement
block and replacing it with one
with a numeral was born.
- As he gazed around the campus,
Heath noted other great changes,
such as the Library, the PE build­ing
and the separate heating plant
which have been added since he
graduated.
"When I first started to the
Training school, Waldo field was a
swamp and 21st street was a wood­en
bridge over the swamp. , We
played football on the front lawn
of the school. Elias A. Bond was
football coach and we played CPS
and some neighboring high schools
in football competition," he added.
Another graduation tradition that
started while Heath, who attended
both college and the" Training-school,
was in college, was the
march around the knoll graduation
day. This began in 1910 with the
laying of the driveway around the
knoll. Today this driveway is a
sidewalk but the graduation march
still wends its w | y around the knoll
every ^graduation day.
Superintendent Heath said that
he had enjoyed looking over the
campus recalling his college days.
