AS WE SEE IT . . .
By Frank Shiers-Derry Conlee
To begin with, this week, I would like to deny in advance the
charges of bitterness or frustration in love that will undoubtedly
arise as a result of this article. These opinions are entirely my
own and are subject to change at a moment's notice.
I n an attempt to widen our reading public, Mr. Conlee and I
have decided to write about the one thing that is sure to interest-all
girls which, contrary to general belief, is not men but girls
themselves. Yes, they are MEGALOMANIACS.
Girls may be divided roughly into two categories: DIZZY
BLONDES and DIZZY BRUNETTES. If a girl is not
dizzy, she is not popular because people think she is put­ting
on airs.
What worries me most, however, is the mountain of formality
with which so-called "emancipated" women have surrounded
themselves. If I wanted to take a girl to a show (Heaven forbid
the mere thought!), I would have to ask her at least three weeks
in advance in order that she would have plenty of time to decide
whether she could find anyone better for that night. On top of
this, she would reserve the right to call the whole thing off five
minutes before I was due to call.
I could go on with many more examples of foolish customs; but
to do so doesn't suit my purpose. What I propose to do is to set
up a code of conduct for dating college girls. It follows:
1. Invite them two hours before the time of the date.
2. Be sure you have your pocketbook.
3. Demand a definite yes or n o answer.
4. Be sure your pocketbook has something more than
washers in it.
5. Be punctual; wait five minutes; and leave if she isn't
ready.
6. Be sure you don't leave your pocketbook home in
your other pants.
7. After you start, use your own discretion. Marquis
of Queensberry rules to prevail.
As a slight supplement to Mr. Shier's work, I would add the
following comments:
1. Tell your date that you plan to spend no more than
seventy-five cents (including tax) for the evening's enter­tainment.
This includes incidentals such as gum, cigar­ettes,
and cokes.
2. Expound the values of walking.
3. Tell her to wear her old clothes and then wear your
" new suit so as to show yourself to advantage.
4. Be ten minutes late. You'll have to wait only fifteen
minutes then, and she'll have time to finish her book and
even comb her hair again.

the Homecoming assembly will
furnish a welcome relief to aching
feet and strained vocal cords. Off
the beaten path somewhat, .the as­sembly
this year has several new

grads a better chance to
see the show. Another feature is
the coronation of Queen Sigrid IV
by President W. W. Haggard. This
event will conclude the assembly.
A chosen legion of honor for the
queen is also a new feature. Those
who will make up this legion are
Mickey Smith, Bill' Junkin, Bill
O'Neill, Bill Hatch, Frank Shiers,
and Jim Junkin.
Judging of the skits will be done
by a secret committee of judges.
Skits "have been submitted by sev-,

Sarboe to Bring New 'Model T To Play Annabelle
To Battle Lappenbusch Squad
Ellensburg's Carmody, Harvey 6* Company Try New
Formation Against WWC's Modified Notre Dame System
Central Washington college's "Model T" will clash with WWC's Vikings
for the second time this season when they meet the Viks on the Battersby
turf tomorrow afternoon for the annual HOMECOMING spectacle.
Defeated, 18-13, by the Vikings in a kings-x battle early this season, the
Wildcats will be out for revenge against the Blue and White squad. Coach
Lappenbusch's boys feel they have a —: ;
good: chance to give the Wildcats a
second beating, however:" The Vik­ing
offensive machine showed some
of its pre-seascn promise in the
game against St. Martins, Friday.
They pushed the Ranger team all
over the field in the second half,
and hope to do the same with
EWC's eleven tomorrow.
Viks in Shape
Coach Lappenbusch expects all of
his squad to be in shape for the
battle as no serious injuries were in­curred
in the Ranger clash last
week. Several members of the squad
had slight colds this week but no
complications were reported. The
Vikings will field a more experienced
squad against the Wildcats than
they did in their first encounter, and
show promise of staying out of their
mid-season letdown..
Phil Sarboe, Ellensburg coach, has
built the Wildcat attack around the
famed T-formation. Variations of
the Notre Dame box are also used,
in addition to the T. The EWC
backfield has been rated as one of
the fastest in the country. "Clipper
Carmody," left half, and Hal
Berndt, right half, are both excep­tionally
fast backfield men. Mike
Kuchera and Les fierry complete the
speedy combination. All four of
these men are credited with 10.1 and
better in the 100-yard dash. Hal
Berndt is rated the speediest of the
quartet with a time of 9.8 in the
century.

As Leads in Fall Play;
Penthouse Style Chosen
Thursday, November 27, the WWC
Division of Drama play "George
Washington Slept Here" will open
in Edens Hall Blue room. The play,
which will run for four performan­ces
and will close on Saturday, No­vember
29, is to be presented in
penthouse style.
Taking the feminine lead will be
Clinta Campbell in the role of An­nabelle
Fuller. Mrs. Fuller, the
wife with the biting tongue, comes
to live in the broken-down farm
house which her husband bought
for her without her consent, a fact
that she refuses to let anyone for­get.
Miss Campbell, in her first
role at WWC, shows how Annabelle
changes from a hot-tempered
"country-hater" at the beginning,
to a sentimental housewife who
hates to leave her rustic house to
go back to the elegant city apart­ment.
Miss Campbell is new at WWC,
having transferred from the Uni­versity
of Washington this year.
During her four years at the Uni­versity
she was active in dramatics.
Because she has come here from
the University of Washington, Miss
Campbell is well acquainted with
penthouse theatre productions,
which originated in that institu­tion
with Professor Glenn Hughes
iow director of the drama division
and formerly a WWC faculty mem­ber.

Grim Meets Grads
In Discussion
Of Work Problems
Through the field work this quar­ter
of Dr. Paul R. Grim, junior high
school social studies instructor,
WWC is forming closer contact with
grads in teaching positions. His
duty is to visit novice teachers and
thus learn what problems inexper­ienced
teachers have to face when
they leave the training school and
its supervision.
Dr. Grim gives a certain amount
of direct assistance when possible;
in some cases, on return visits, he
takes with him some person from
the training school who can act as
an adviser to help work out special
problems which the new teacher
•might have. As a result of Dr.
Grim's* field work, teachers in the
campus school also correspond with
former WWC students and give
them whatever specific help they
may need.
known for a while.
The first class to be graduated
by . the Bellingham State Normal
school received their teaching cer­tificates
in 1900. The Normal school
officially opened, its doors in 1899;
in those days one year of advanced
work was sufficient to obtain a cer­tificate
to teach in the elementary
schools of the state. The school's
greatest enrollment came in the
year before the conferring of life
diplomas was ended. At that time
the enrollment of the school ap­proached
the 1300 mark. All this
from a start of 238 students, the
total enrollment when classes were
begun.
Homecoming was instituted in
1924, when the list of grads was less
than half its present length. There
are at present upwards of 6000
graduates of WWC. Every year
adds to that total, and each year
Homecoming has come to mean
more and more. This year bids fair
to be the biggest and best of them
all. The present group of uder-grads
is anxious to make it just
that, and they're set to entertain
in royal style the "old guard."
Norse March,
Rally Tonite
According to Art Stenson, co-chairman
of the HOMECOMING
rally committee, the HOMECOM­ING
parade will begin tonight at 7
o'clock in front of Edens hail, go
through the business district and.
return to the school athletic field
for the-bonfire.
The line of march, led by a police
escort, will form at Edens hall,
serpentine down High and Holly
street, from Holly to Bay street,
circle around to Cornwall avenue
and stop in front of the American
theater, where yell leaders will lead
the students in school yells. The
parade will then turn up Holly
street and return to the college
athletic field for the HOMECOM­ING
bonfire.
Following the police escort will be
the official cars carrying the queen
and princesses. In addition, there
will be the sound car, the «WW0
band, and students in cars and on
foot, carrying lighted torches.
On returning to school, the queen
will light the bonfire prepared by
the freshmen class, and then
speeches by Mr. L. A. Kibbe, Dr;
E. A. Bond, Captain Jim Hollings-worth,
and Coach C. F. Lappen­busch
will follow. After the singing
of the Alma Mater, the crowd will
then go to the main building for
the HOMECOMING assembly.
