VOL. XXXVI—NO. 31 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 28, 1937 $h Live #' And ^ Learn By Henry Francis What with birds and bees flickering and flitting around .in the balmy old sunshine couldni help but notice the little rascals were chasing around in pairs. Even they arent immune to that universally known mental disease that ravages the countryside in the spring. The first symptoms of this are day dreams with a peculiar heart reaction followed by strong hallucinations thai two can live as cheaply as one. A very subtle affliction that fools even the wise old owls. GOLDILOCKS UP TO DATE Goldilocks of the Three Bears fame saved herself many a headache by living way ^back in Once Upon a Time instead of the twentieth century. The social security board was found in its filing system 36 varieties of the name Bear to substitute for Goldy's original three. The golden-haired lassie would have to be in a WPA frame of mind to enjoy the comforts of their combined chairs would afford. BIF STEW A LA PARISENNE The bourgeoise of Hollywood with their usual proletariat refinement have started an Eat in English movement. Complaining f,f F r e n ch names used for American foods in restaurants one prominent actor said he was horrified beyond words when, after laboriously ordering le beoaf en daube at a cafe party he was served with good old beef stew. The fact that he was probably raised on it made the fact none the less horrifying. _ Still another Wat just, OH! too, too embarrassed when with a knowing air of the man about town he called for les pieds de cochon vinaigrette. The waitress skipped merrily up to his table with a platter of pickled pigs' feet and now he too is a fervent supporter of the movement. All of which goes to show that one really should be acquainted, with the dog before trying to put it on. FIREMAN SAVE MY STEAK There seems to be no end to the helpful little things these firemen can do. A woiwui back in New York called them recently io remove her pan of steaks from the stove before they burned. . Having inadvertably locked herself out of her apartment with hubby's meat on the fire she called the fire laddies to rescue it, which they readily did with promptness and dispatch. We're wondering now about a special detail to build the fire in the furnace on frosty mornings. W.P.A. SCORES AGAIN Not wanting to be outdone by the rest of the strike conscious world, the Odessa, Wash., WPA had to put in their little bit. Not being able to find a good reason they had to be content with just any old-excuse. Here is the reason as they see it. The WPA of Odessa Are out on a strike, yessuh; They are pretty sore Cause the mules get paid more While they get lessa and lessa. REVERIE Sitting with a pencil in one hand and my face in the other, reflecting en the folly of trying to think when there is nothing to think about or no reason for thinking it, I decided that realy one needs some recreation and remembering the old adage, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull bey," went to worrying about Ran Wilde who does nothing but play all the time. Thence laid down the pencil to search for Ban's type of recreation to satisfy old man rhythm till June 7. Goodbye kids. Seabeck Delegates Elected By Blue Triangle Several Well-Known People Will Speak at Conference Six Blue Triangle students were elected at the regular meeting Tuesday evening to attend the YWCA-YMCA student conference at Sea-beck, on Hoods Canal, June 12-20. Those attending are: Helen Carlyle, Eunice Buck, Alice Siemons, Lillian Martin, Helen Munson, and Nellie Holstead. "Learn to Live" will be thf,theme of the conference. The daily program will consist of discussions, religious talks, healthful recreation, music, poetry writing, group singing, and beach parties. Ten days will be spent in this manner—making new acquaintances and renewing old. Leaders at the Conference Nationally known youth leaders have been selected to work with the students. Dr. T. Z. Koo, one time National Executive Student secretary In China, now secretary of the World Student Federation, will be a speaker. "No man in China or America is more worth hearing and knowing than Dr. Koo," a newspaper said of his work. Mrs. Robert Dunne, advisor to the regional division of the YWCA national student council, will be on the faculty. By education and experience she has become an expert on personal and home relations. Mendenhall to Talk Dr. W. O. Mendenhall, president of Whittier college and one of America's greatest speakers, teachers, and religious and educational leaders, will be present. Miss Genevieve Turnipseed and Dr. Raymon Brooks have long been friends of students and the student movements. They will also be prominent leaders of the conference. Colleges from Washington, Oregon, and Idaho all send delegates to this youth conference in July. o Comprehensive Tests Given To Six-Quarter Students Comprehensive tests in many fields were taken by all six-quarter students and other students who so desired last Tuesday and Wednesday. The purpose of these tests is to give the students a chance to express their general knowledge in the tests taken. Two other purposes of these tests are to stimulate, in both teachers and students, a desire for further study, ana to indicate how much material of a course is carried-over in the minds of the students. The idea of the tests is no novelty as this plan is practiced in many of the larger institutions such as Columbia, Harvard, and Chicago. The maker of the tests, the faculty, also benefit it was explained to the student body in assembly. When a group of teachers join together to make a test, in explaining their ideas and plans they are sure to arrive at a closer understanding of what should and should not be taught and what they should do to rectify the mistakes of the past. The whole program is considered one more step towards better teaching, better interpretation of which materials to include in the courses, and better understanding between teacher and student. o Student Attends Fraternity Dance Joyce Forbes, of Palahi, attended the initiation banquet and dance given by the Pi Mu Chi, U. of W. pre-medical honorary fraternity at the Hungerford hotel in Seattle, Friday evening. Gold Pins Awarded To Viking Writers Co«tig UP Monday, May 31 Vacation. » Tuesday, June 1 11:00 a. m.—Junior-Senior singing rehearsal. Wednesday, Jane 2 6:00 p\ m.—WAA salmon bake at the Rocks. Friday, June 4 11:00 a. m.—Junior-Senior singing rehearsal. Climaxing a period of four quarters service on the Viking staff, Osier, Toms, Evich, Pele-gren were awarded today the gold pins given as recognition for this service. Warren Toms, business manager last summer, has completed the two newswriting courses and has been an active member of the staff for five quarters. Margaret Osier, although mainly a feature writer, has been a versatile and reliable staff member for four quarters. Mitchell Evich, sports scribe, has written the column "Did Ya Know" for the past year, and has completed four quarters of work on the staff. Frances Pelegren also earned her pin. These students have not only written for the paper to qualify for these pins, they have studied the foremost newspapers of the country in order to learn the best styles of news-writing. Summer Quarter Officials Put In Bids Decisions Due Next Week Editorship, Business Managership Put on Block; Summer Journal Is Smaller Annual Published By Campus School ArtDepartmentOpen For Exhibit; Crafts To Be Sh own Exhibitions in art will be open to the students and the general public from June 1 through the first week in the summer quarter in rooms 303, 305, and in the hall of the .Art de- S partment. This exhibit is to show what is being done by the many art classes. Illustrations in free hand water colors, wall hangings in crayola, and block prints will be exhibited. Flower, waterfront, restaurant and house top compositions, and water color paintings will be shown, made by the composition class. "In the latter the first touch is final. There is nothing done over for this is a free expression in water color," states Miss Mcllvain, of the Art department. All this work will be exhibited in room 305, as will flower arrangement by the classes in orientation in art. Work done by the Art 50 classes during the first two quarters of design in color consists of arrangements of strokes, lines, darks and lights. This is the interpretation of still life such as kitchen utensils and vegetables and also animals, birds, and a few modern rug designs. In the hall is a stage curtain made •by the eighth grade boys of the Training school and in the showcases are block prints and water color paintings. By Don Gooding Once more the time for the Board of Control to appoint the guiders of destinies for that great" college publication, the Wesern Viking, has rolled around. For the summer quarter, the only paid officials on the abbreviated journal will be the editor and: business manager, both subject to the rules of the Board of Control. Would-be editors or managers can express their desires to hold either of the two salaried positions by submitting a signed statement revealing such to the Board of Control before noon, Wednesday next, May 31. Legislation will then be put moving and grinding to thresh out the necessary decisions the same day. Hinchliffe, Eckert Bid So far Sybil Hinchliffe and Earl Eckert have both placed their best hats in the ring for editor and manager respectively. The summer editions will run for only six weeks and are scheduled to be much smaller than the ordinary ones. The regulations controlling the nominations of editors and managers are many and involved, and look something like this: pre-requisites of editor are six-quarters attendance (two in journalism classes), membership on editorial council, and a written recommendation of the faculty adviser (Mrs. Burnet); business manager is the same as editor, except for editorial council membership. Further and more detailed information may be gained by consulting Florence Lund's revised Blue Book, a marvelous collection of data. . o— Class Day Assembly Presented by Graduating Seniors The Junior Viking, published by the Campus Elementary school, was distributed during t h e Training school assembly last Friday. The annual includes stories written by children of all the grades with reporters' observations preceding each section. Interesting book reviews were written by children of the upper classes. The staff of the Junior Viking, working under the advisorship of Miss Bertha Crawford, included: Bob Van de Wetering, editor; David Dennis, business manager; Pat Ells-perman and Keith Abbot, art editors. The reporters were: Sheila Moore, Mary Main, Cheryl Smith, Gordon Boney, Isabelle Griswolde, Betty Brunswig, Fred Weirauch, Imogene Winslow, and Keith Anderson. f ,, Several members of the faculty aided in the publishing of the annual. Miss Hazel Breakey supplied the art suggestions, Mrs. Mae Lovegren did the mimeographing, and R. D. Wilson the printing and binding. With the addition of the ninth grade, the sixth grade will probably publish the Junior Viking next year, with the Junior High School publishing an annual of their own. WWC Graduates Get Diplomas Thursday, June 10 Dr. Coleman of Reed College Gives Commencement Speech Scintillating Wild* Due Here For June Dance Scintillating syncopation emanating from the well known orchestra of Ran Wilde who is appearing at the Bellingham Armory on Monday, June 7, gives music lovers another opportunity to dance to the orchestrations of a national favorite. Wilde's musical career began at the age of 9 and at 16 he was conducting his own band. Forsaking his musical environment temporar- The annual Class day assembly and Pageant was given today by the 1937 graduating class. The assembly included an address by President C. H. Fisher and presentation of the flag by the American Legion. The class was then ushered to the walk, where Ruth Carroll, president of the senior class, presented the Class book and key to Frank Chorvat, vice-president of the sophomore class. The Pageant was given on the knoll, Maynard Ponco acting as the announcer, Tom Bloom and Jack Rausch, trumpeters. The Pageant was presented as a review of past school activities from the Campus day of 1935 to and including, student teaching. An added attraction was the Blue Triangle Ta-Ra-Ra- Boom-de-ay chorus. Freddie Steele, Boxing Champ, Likes His Steaks; Results Shown In Rapid Rise To Fame; Here Years Ago Thursday, June 10, the members of the graduation class of '37 will walk across the stage of the WWC auditorium and receive their teaching certificates. Dr. Norman Coleman, professor of English at Reed College, Oregon, will deliver the commencement address. He is an extensive traveler in both Europe and the Orient. He also led the Portland Public Forum on International Relations for eight months. The Reverend Dwight C. Smith will give the invocation. Trustee Presents Diplomas After the class has been presented by President C. H. Fisher they .will receive their diplomas from Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, member of the board of trustees. At the Baccalaureate service Reverend Edward A. Wolfe will give the invocation with the Reverend James Brett Kenne delivering the main address. Nan Dybdahl Wiik, of Bellingham, will sing "Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty", by Handel, as a soprano solo. She will be accompanied by Mr. Boson, of the music department. The services will be held Sunday, June 6, at 4:00 p. m. in the auditorium. Faculty Are Hosts A faculty reception will be held June 9, in the Edens hall club room at 7:30 p. m. All the faculty are requested to be present and beJhosts to members of the graduation class. After Sept. 1, 1937, three year certificate will be issued on the completion of a three' year course. This will take the place of the present five year teaching diploma. After Sept., 1938, no life diplomas will be issued. Certificates Issued for Work, This three-year certificate is given after graduation from a three-year curriculum. It is renewable once on the completion of fifteen quarter hours of credit beyond the three-year curriculum. A certificate good for six years and renewable indefinitely^ upon meeting of renewal requirements is issued to students upon graduation from a four-year curriculum, possession of three-year elementary certificate, and at least two years successful teaching. ily, Wilde entered college for a business course, but his old love soon lured him back into the fold, and soon "music styled by Wilde" became a familiar phrase on the coast. California has been the scene of the maestro's major triumphs. He (Continued on Page Three) Limits Issued for Last Library Accounts According to Librarian By Mitchell Evich Tacoma's pride, Freddie Steele, middleweight boxing champion of the world, likes to consume his daily calories in the form of indefinitely thick and unduly juicy steaks, snowed under by a bushel or so of mushrooms. The former 'Bellingham boy, who in the past few years has waded through all ring opponents to reach the top rung in the fistic ladder, re vealed this fact a week ago last Thursday evening (Bank Night) to a dyed-in-the-wool Steele fan who glanced once, then spun his head around and looked into a pair of blue eyes that has monopolized the boxing sections of the sports world for the past five years. Freddie's rise to fisticuff fame, as sensational as it has been, reminds him of the time when, but a frail 13- year-old kid, he attempted to perform at the Liberty hall, local fight auditorium, but was told to go home and grow some flesh on his skeletal outline. Not only has he done just that, but he has also cultivated some high explosives in his two mitts. Champ Golfs When training regulations permit, he plays golf and curses with other boys when he gets caught in the rough. Modestly he apologizes, "I'm only a fair player, but I certainly enjoy the game," then he added, "Frankie Repoz, ya know Frankie gave me my start in boxing, well, he's giving me a few pointers in the sport that Bobby Jones made famous." The champ is also a rabid horseback rider. He does a lot of bronco busting when time, place, and opportunity present themselves. Becomes Irked . A splendid youth, polite, highly ambitious,-iron-nerved, Freddie can also become irked and forget the formalities, as was illustrated before the recent Steele-Battaglia fight for the middleweight crown. I t seems a group of eastern report-, ers, possibly a trifle jealous or en- (Conttamed en Page Three) Valkries Return From Trip a Little Red-Faced Approximately 50 Valkyrie members and guests enjoyed their annual spring outing to Sinclair island last Sunday. The trip to and from the island was made in Dr. Erb's beautiful yacht, the Thetis. Starting from the PAF dock at 1:00 p. m. Sunday, the girls enjoyed wonderful weather on the trip to the island. The weather man, in answer to the prayers of the members of the fair sex, sent the sun beaming over the waters for one of the most beautiful days if the year. Landing at the dock on Sinclair island, the girls hiked to Viqueen lodge where, hungry^ from the long water trip and the hike to the cabin, they appeased their appetites with a pot-luck lunch. v Sticking close to the schedule, made out by the two brain trusts in charge, Norma jane Gorsline and Echo Oxford, the travelers arrived back at their place of embarking at 10.00 p. m. A fee of one dollar is charged all library accounts not clear on the dates issued by the departments of the library. General circulation (2-week) books and children's books are due 5 p. m., Friday, June 4, unless special arrangements are made with Miss Lea. Reserve books are due 9 a. m. Tuesday, June 8. Thie library will be open to students until the quarter closes Wednesday, June 9. For further information read the notice on the bulletin board. Miss Wilson wishes to inform the students that about 100 of the new books are now available in the library. o Enrollment of Summer Quarter Large Summer quarters at WWC have the largest attendance of the entire four quarters, and this year, is no exception. As a matter of fact, it is just the opposite, for in all probability the enrollment will exceed that of last summer's, which was approximately 800. The usual enrollment is around 700, the present quarter included. Increased attendance of students during summer quarters is due to all the teachers throughout the state, including many outsiders, who desire or are forced to return to school in order that they may renew their certificates and be able to go on teaching when the fall quarter rolls around again. In addition to these returning students are the continuing students who go right oh with the summer quarter.: i?s ^vM^sMwi

Work done by the Art 50 classes during the first two quarters of design in color consists of arrangements of strokes, lines, darks and lights. This is the interpretation of still life such as kitchen utensils and vegetables and also animals, birds, and a few modern rug designs. In the hall is a stage curtain made •by the eighth grade boys of the Training school and in the showcases are block prints and water color paintings. By Don Gooding Once more the time for the Board of Control to appoint the guiders of destinies for that great" college publication, the Wesern Viking, has rolled around. For the summer quarter, the only paid officials on the abbreviated journal will be the editor and: business manager, both subject to the rules of the Board of Control. Would-be editors or managers can express their desires to hold either of the two salaried positions by submitting a signed statement revealing such to the Board of Control before noon, Wednesday next, May 31. Legislation will then be put moving and grinding to thresh out the necessary decisions the same day. Hinchliffe, Eckert Bid So far Sybil Hinchliffe and Earl Eckert have both placed their best hats in the ring for editor and manager respectively. The summer editions will run for only six weeks and are scheduled to be much smaller than the ordinary ones. The regulations controlling the nominations of editors and managers are many and involved, and look something like this: pre-requisites of editor are six-quarters attendance (two in journalism classes), membership on editorial council, and a written recommendation of the faculty adviser (Mrs. Burnet); business manager is the same as editor, except for editorial council membership. Further and more detailed information may be gained by consulting Florence Lund's revised Blue Book, a marvelous collection of data. . o— Class Day Assembly Presented by Graduating Seniors The Junior Viking, published by the Campus Elementary school, was distributed during t h e Training school assembly last Friday. The annual includes stories written by children of all the grades with reporters' observations preceding each section. Interesting book reviews were written by children of the upper classes. The staff of the Junior Viking, working under the advisorship of Miss Bertha Crawford, included: Bob Van de Wetering, editor; David Dennis, business manager; Pat Ells-perman and Keith Abbot, art editors. The reporters were: Sheila Moore, Mary Main, Cheryl Smith, Gordon Boney, Isabelle Griswolde, Betty Brunswig, Fred Weirauch, Imogene Winslow, and Keith Anderson. f ,, Several members of the faculty aided in the publishing of the annual. Miss Hazel Breakey supplied the art suggestions, Mrs. Mae Lovegren did the mimeographing, and R. D. Wilson the printing and binding. With the addition of the ninth grade, the sixth grade will probably publish the Junior Viking next year, with the Junior High School publishing an annual of their own. WWC Graduates Get Diplomas Thursday, June 10 Dr. Coleman of Reed College Gives Commencement Speech Scintillating Wild* Due Here For June Dance Scintillating syncopation emanating from the well known orchestra of Ran Wilde who is appearing at the Bellingham Armory on Monday, June 7, gives music lovers another opportunity to dance to the orchestrations of a national favorite. Wilde's musical career began at the age of 9 and at 16 he was conducting his own band. Forsaking his musical environment temporar- The annual Class day assembly and Pageant was given today by the 1937 graduating class. The assembly included an address by President C. H. Fisher and presentation of the flag by the American Legion.

The Pageant was given on the knoll, Maynard Ponco acting as the announcer, Tom Bloom and Jack Rausch, trumpeters. The Pageant was presented as a review of past school activities from the Campus day of 1935 to and including, student teaching. An added attraction was the Blue Triangle Ta-Ra-Ra- Boom-de-ay chorus.

California has been the scene of the maestro's major triumphs. He (Continued on Page Three) Limits Issued for Last Library Accounts According to Librarian By Mitchell Evich Tacoma's pride, Freddie Steele, middleweight boxing champion of the world, likes to consume his daily calories in the form of indefinitely thick and unduly juicy steaks, snowed under by a bushel or so of mushrooms. The former 'Bellingham boy, who in the past few years has waded through all ring opponents to reach the top rung in the fistic ladder, re vealed this fact a week ago last Thursday evening (Bank Night) to a dyed-in-the-wool Steele fan who glanced once, then spun his head around and looked into a pair of blue eyes that has monopolized the boxing sections of the sports world for the past five years. Freddie's rise to fisticuff fame, as sensational as it has been, reminds him of the time when, but a frail 13- year-old kid, he attempted to perform at the Liberty hall, local fight auditorium, but was told to go home and grow some flesh on his skeletal outline. Not only has he done just that, but he has also cultivated some high explosives in his two mitts. Champ Golfs When training regulations permit, he plays golf and curses with other boys when he gets caught in the rough. Modestly he apologizes, "I'm only a fair player, but I certainly enjoy the game," then he added, "Frankie Repoz, ya know Frankie gave me my start in boxing, well, he's giving me a few pointers in the sport that Bobby Jones made famous." The champ is also a rabid horseback rider. He does a lot of bronco busting when time, place, and opportunity present themselves. Becomes Irked . A splendid youth, polite, highly ambitious,-iron-nerved, Freddie can also become irked and forget the formalities, as was illustrated before the recent Steele-Battaglia fight for the middleweight crown. I t seems a group of eastern report-, ers, possibly a trifle jealous or en- (Conttamed en Page Three) Valkries Return From Trip a Little Red-Faced Approximately 50 Valkyrie members and guests enjoyed their annual spring outing to Sinclair island last Sunday. The trip to and from the island was made in Dr. Erb's beautiful yacht, the Thetis. Starting from the PAF dock at 1:00 p. m. Sunday, the girls enjoyed wonderful weather on the trip to the island. The weather man, in answer to the prayers of the members of the fair sex, sent the sun beaming over the waters for one of the most beautiful days if the year. Landing at the dock on Sinclair island, the girls hiked to Viqueen lodge where, hungry^ from the long water trip and the hike to the cabin, they appeased their appetites with a pot-luck lunch. v Sticking close to the schedule, made out by the two brain trusts in charge, Norma jane Gorsline and Echo Oxford, the travelers arrived back at their place of embarking at 10.00 p. m. A fee of one dollar is charged all library accounts not clear on the dates issued by the departments of the library. General circulation (2-week) books and children's books are due 5 p. m., Friday, June 4, unless special arrangements are made with Miss Lea. Reserve books are due 9 a. m. Tuesday, June 8. Thie library will be open to students until the quarter closes Wednesday, June 9. For further information read the notice on the bulletin board. Miss Wilson wishes to inform the students that about 100 of the new books are now available in the library. o Enrollment of Summer Quarter Large Summer quarters at WWC have the largest attendance of the entire four quarters, and this year, is no exception. As a matter of fact, it is just the opposite, for in all probability the enrollment will exceed that of last summer's, which was approximately 800. The usual enrollment is around 700, the present quarter included. Increased attendance of students during summer quarters is due to all the teachers throughout the state, including many outsiders, who desire or are forced to return to school in order that they may renew their certificates and be able to go on teaching when the fall quarter rolls around again. In addition to these returning students are the continuing students who go right oh with the summer quarter.: i?s ^vM^sMwi |
