VOL. XXXIII—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Normalite SUMAS • • • • SURVEY • # • * SUPREMACY • • * e SOULS By Elmer Lade Sumas, Wash. Editor Northwest Viking; Dear Sir: I have always wanted to be a foreign correspondent, especially after reading "The Sun Also Rises". Chances are that Hemingway's picture of itinerant pressmen does not represent the norm, bur as far as I could gather from reading his book, a foreign correspondent is a sort of journalistic remittance man whom the home office-pays to frequent bars and bull-fights, and not to write news stories. They must, however, feel very, very futile. Now there is nothing particularly exotic about Sumas. One could abide here for twenty-five years and never see a bull-fight. But it is a grand place to feel futile in, and I am glad for this opportunity to send my copy through the mail, because doing so suggests progress towards the melancholy sinecure Hemingway talks about. * * * * * Whenever I mentioned Sumas around the Normal a general laugh usually followed. And despite the fact that those people who laughed the loudest came, in most cases, from Ferndale or Stanwood, or some equally inconsequential geographical expression, their witless uproar rankled. The natural conclusion was that Sumas, as a city, possesses characteristics unusually outlandish. So I decided that on returning home I should view Sumas with a cold objective eye, calculate closely, and" analyze to a hair, and then, providing nothing sensational developed, like Sandburg "turn to those who sneer at this my city and give them back the sneer, etc." Board Appoints Hostetter Head Of Next Annual Business Manager Is Unchanged; Allan Appointed to Position On Newspaper Three Boats Get Names None of Names Suggested Normalstad Approved For But applying scientific objectivity to one's home town is a pretty tough proposition. One is either sure that his town is the "best little burg in the state" or "the lousiest slab that man ever lived in". After contemplating Sumas as it extends from Front street to the Canadian boundary I can only hazard this much in its defense: that in the length and breadth of Washington there is probably no better place to leave. Which, of course, is only a wild generalization based on prejudice and civic pride. * * * * * Sumas, like every other small town, is full of gypsy souls who want to "get out". Select at random from its population any individual under fifty years of age and draw him into conversation; you'll find that he wants to "get out". If not, you are probably talking to one of the reasons why Sumas is said to be "the city that never buries its dead". But unless you do happen to encounter one of those fortunate vegetables who are content to simply sit and watch the seasons swing by, the general theme will be that happiness is something that lies just outside the city limits—or some place indefinitely beyond. It's worse in the winter when a body has nothing to do but sit indoors and watch the rain cut holes in the gravel streets. Then the comment is not just a fervent wish to visit Tahiti or Pamplona, but a vindictive threat to "leave this dump on its ears and never return!" Helen Hostetter was appointed to the editorship of the Klipsun for 1935-36 by the Board of Control at a special meeting held Friday, June 7. Miss Hostetter served as associate editor on the Klipsun staff for 1934-35 and previously edited the Whatcom High school year book, the Kulshan. Business manager for the coming year will be Cliff Johnson, who held the same position on the 1934-35 staff. The Board elected Pat Allan, Northwest Viking business manager for the summer quarter. Allan held the editorship of the Viking in 1933. President Fisher met with the Board of Control to discuss the school budget for next year. The tentative schedules of expenses made by the department heads were presented to the Board. It made a definite recommendation to the Board of Trustees for the price of the Associated Student fee. The names suggested for Normalstad and the three boats were read to the Board by Oscar Svarlein. "Viqueen, Viking, and Sehome" were chosen for the boats. Since none of the names suggested for Normalstad were particularly ap.- propriate it was decided that no action would be taken until next fall. Friday, June 2 1 , 1935 Christensen And Flick To Serve Board of Control Hager To Formulate Plans Board's Social Event For This Quarter For Theona Flick and Julia Chisten-sen who have been previous members of the Board of Control were appointed to serve with this group, at a meting held Wednesday, June 19. Theona Flick was vice-president of the Associated Students' in 1933, and Julia Christensen held the same position the following year. Because the summer members had not yet been appointed there was not a quorum present and a discussion period took the place of the regular meeting. Maurice Tweit's orchestra was selected to play at the mixer which is to be held Friday, June 21, in Bdens hall. As the usual picnic which is given for the Board members in the spring was neglected this year, Joe Hager was asked to formulate plans for a social event of this kind.

Friday, June 21, President Fisher will extend a welcome to the new students after which the Seattle Mixed quartet will render a group of vocal selections. June 25, heralds the Concert Ensemble—piano, violin, and dramatic baritone. June 28, Professor Snedden of Columbia will appear in a flute recital. Louis Van Ogle, professor of music at the University of Washington, will lecture on Finald, July 5. With Miss Lillian M. George and L. A. Kibbe as leaders, about twenty aspiring alpinists will leave school tomorrow morning at 7:30 for the long, long trek up Church mountain. The party will drive up to the Church mountain trail, about fine miles past Glacier, where they will take to the wilds up the hill. The trail is an excellent one, although the last L. A. Kibbe mile through snow may fetch shivers from the less hardened hikers. The view from the ranger station at the summit is splendid, since the mountain stands out practically alone. The north end of Whatcom county can be seen entirely, and the Fraser river valley can be traced for about 100 miles. The return trip offers opportunity for splendid snow sliding and also a dandy chance to wear out those dirty cords you've been wanting to get rid of. That mile of snow will go faster than all the rest of the hike if you know the art of snow-sliding. The only requirements for the trip and a good time are a big lunch, lots of enthusiasm, and the fare of 75 cents. A chance to meet Professor Snedden of Columbia Teacher's college, New York, at an appetizing luncheon, and an opportunity for an informal discussion will be offered next Friday to all students and faculty members. Honoring Professor Snedden, the Interclub council will sponsor a luncheon Friday noon, June 28, in the Edens Hall Club room. Tickets priced at 25 cents will be on sale in the Co-op next week for Normal students and in the president's office for the faculty. This is to be the first luncheon given summer quarter and everyone is urged to attend.

But, still in all, that is not absolving small towns from the sin of apathy—if it is a sin. So far this column has conformed in no respects to the policy, of "Normalite". But then, what were the policies of "Normalite"? Anyway, my position as foreign correspondent should give me some license. held at Reed college in Portland, Oregon, from July 5 to 15, are to be chosen soon by faculty members of the "Social Science department. The board of control has granted $50 for expenses. To qualify for the trip to Portland, a student must have been in school spring quarter, and attend during the summer or next fall, or both. The institute includes a ten day course for those interested in peaceful settlement of national and international problems. Miss Nora B. Cummins, E. J. Arntzen, and Gordon Millikan comprise the committee to choose the delegates. o Leader Promises Salmon Bake For Chuckanut Hikers Student Recreation Fans Planning Hike to Dead Man's Point; Food Featured Dead Man's point, on Chuckanut bay, will be the designation of student recreation fans next Tuesday. This will be the first of the Tuesday evening hikes scheduled on the summer's recreation program. The cove is about five miles from school. The climax of the trip will be when the hikers come back to the natural dry-dock, however, for Dr. E. A. Bond has promised to prepare a salmon. bake. According to students who know from experience, the salmon bake alone should guarantee the success of the trip. Each hiker is to bring his own cup and spoon. The cost of the lunch will be about 25 cents. Those desiring may sign up for the salmon bake only. Another interesting singer is Robert Crawford, frequently referred to as the "flying baritone" because he pilots his own plane. Miss Edith Kopelson and Alan Kopelson who will appear in a joint recital of drama and verse with music offer a very delightful program. They will present individualized literary cameos with musical preludes and settings. Lucia Chagnon a mezzo-soprano who will sing a number of well known selectio'ns July 19. For the last assembly of the first six weeks Dr. S. Barclay of Stanford university,will lecture. o Experimental Tests Given to Reporters With scores ranging all the way from 31 to 60 out of a possible 75 in a current events test, last quarter's Newswriting classes were left feeling a little less certain the final week of the spring term about what was really "news" for the past six months. The test covered foreign and national news, progress in science and More Newswriters Needed for Viking Staff This Summer Pinckney Selected As Managing Editor; Johnson Takes News Editor Post "Writers and would-be writers are cordially, even insistently, invited to contribute to the Northwest Viking during the summer quarter," announces Ralph Shenenberger, editor. "Radical changes in the staff have bene necessitated by the small number of new reporters enrolled— an unprecedented condition apparently caused by the fact that two terms of work are required before credit can be given. We thus automatically exclude beginning reporters who are to be in school only one term, but hope to work out a more flexible credit plan for next summer." Practically all experienced staff members now in school have been moved up to excutive positions and others not in attendance have been solicited to send in material. Louane Pinckney, former reporter and feature ^writer,, is to be managing editor for the quarter, and Mary Elaine Johnston, news editor. Stuart Fresk. veteran staff member, will handle the feature page, and Jim Barnhart, returned for the summer session, will take over sports. Registration this summer is considerably larger than last year, according to James Bever. "Registration has progressed rapidly and smoothly," he states. Both summer sessions in 1934 totalled but 600 as compared to over 750 this year. Over 650 had completed registration Monday. A fairly large registration is expected for the beginning of the second term in July. Most of the registration took place Monday although quite a number were still enrolling in classes during the rest of this week. Over 100 registrations were made by mail, which expedited the work of the first two days. As the students attending during the summer are for the most part out-of-town residents, the various houses are nearly full. The rooms at Edens hall have been fully occupied since the beginning of the quarter. t l is thought that the unusually large attendance for this summer may be partially due to unemployment and to students who are com pleting courses for life diplomas or degrees. The list of degree students will be assembled during the next two weeks by Miss Bouck, secretary to Mr. Bever. Approval of the revised curriculum for Bellingham Normal has been given by the state board of education President C. H. Fisher has just returned from the board's annual meeting in Olympia, where he presented the revised curriculum. Many compliments on its organization were expressed by members of the board, after voting its adoption. Revision of the curriculum was worked out by the faculty curriculum committee, headed by Dr. Irving E. Miller. It eliminates the primary and intermediate curricula, organizing instead, a curriculum for the elementary school, and the junior high school. Both of these curricula overlap the old intermediate curriculum, for it has been found that many students teach grades one to four, and five to eight. This revision gives the students better preparation for teaching these grades. Other Changes Made The curriculum is also changed to the basis of four-year's work, and the three-year diploma will be considered as three years out of the whole, four years. In the past the four years were considered as a year added to the three year's work. More background of general education is included, for 54 credits out of a total of 192, are background subjects. The courses are arranged in the following divisions: background, personal orientation and adjustment, curriculum content, professional, field of concentration, and Iree electives. Life Diplomas Considered The board also considered the matter of life diplomas. President Fisher, as chairman of the committee, gave its report to the board a year ago. It was favorably received, but no action will be taken until the meeting in December. While in Olympia, Mr. Fisher conferred with Governor Clarence Larson Is Chosen Edens Hall Prexy At House Meeting Neal Elected To Vice-Presidency; Johnston Extends Welcome To New Students (Continued on Page Four) o 'Liliom' Will Be Summer Drama Hoppe Choses Play by Hungarian Author Ferenc Molnar for Quarter Work medicine.

In the beginning class, English 50. the scores ranged from 31 to 45, while in the advanced group, English 51, the lowest mark was 39, the highest 61. Given as an experiment to check on the familiarity of the ,two groups with the current scene as a result of their reading the metropolitan dailies subscribed to by the Northwest Viking, the test seems to indicate that the reporters improve as their contact with various newspapers increases. Officers for the summer term were elected at the first house-meeting of Edens Hall last Monday evening, June 17. Evelyn Larson was chosen president, with Ruth Neal vice-president. and hopes for close co-operation from all organized house reporters, as well as for unsolicited personals from other students. Experienced reporters now in school who will write as much as their full schedule allow are: Max-ine Mickle, Glen Greseth, Francis Fisher, Kathefine Bowden, Wilson Waylett, and Bernice Von Pressen-tin. Others not registered who have indicated willingness to contribute "when they have time" are Harry Kluge, Melvin Munson, Elmer Lade, Bill Pierron, Joan Hoppe, and Margaret Morse. The nurse, Miss Nell Bryant, was introduced to the girls after the welcome extended to the new and old members of the dormitory by Miss Florence Johnson, school director of Edens hall. • Following the election, Miss Johnson gave a summary of house rules, and the president invited all the dormitory girls to attend the pa-jama party, Wednesday, June 26, at which time the new girls will be initiated into Edens hall. There will be a program of stunts, games, and a social hour. The other officers elected are: Nellie Lamb, secretaryHtreasurer; Isabelle Lamb, social chairman; Nina Johnson, reporter. "Liliom" by the Hungarian author Ferenc Molnar has been chosen by V. H. Hoppe of the speech department for the summer quarter play. The play was presented during the winter quarter of 1932, at which time Preston Wright took the title role of "Liliom" and Dorothy Fiala played the part of his harassed but patient wife Julie. "Liliom" is an unusual type, turn-in from reality to fantasy. The story shows, the downfall of the hero, abetted by evil associates,-his suicide and final punishment by divine justice while the faith of Julie goes unrewarded. Mr. Hoppe has not chosen his characters from a club, but generally from the students around school. o — CALENDAR Friday, June 21— 8:00 — All-School Mixer, Edens Hall cafeteria.

Arntzen, and Gordon Millikan comprise the committee to choose the delegates. o Leader Promises Salmon Bake For Chuckanut Hikers Student Recreation Fans Planning Hike to Dead Man's Point; Food Featured Dead Man's point, on Chuckanut bay, will be the designation of student recreation fans next Tuesday. This will be the first of the Tuesday evening hikes scheduled on the summer's recreation program. The cove is about five miles from school. The climax of the trip will be when the hikers come back to the natural dry-dock, however, for Dr. E. A. Bond has promised to prepare a salmon. bake. According to students who know from experience, the salmon bake alone should guarantee the success of the trip. Each hiker is to bring his own cup and spoon. The cost of the lunch will be about 25 cents. Those desiring may sign up for the salmon bake only. Another interesting singer is Robert Crawford, frequently referred to as the "flying baritone" because he pilots his own plane. Miss Edith Kopelson and Alan Kopelson who will appear in a joint recital of drama and verse with music offer a very delightful program. They will present individualized literary cameos with musical preludes and settings. Lucia Chagnon a mezzo-soprano who will sing a number of well known selectio'ns July 19. For the last assembly of the first six weeks Dr. S. Barclay of Stanford university,will lecture. o Experimental Tests Given to Reporters With scores ranging all the way from 31 to 60 out of a possible 75 in a current events test, last quarter's Newswriting classes were left feeling a little less certain the final week of the spring term about what was really "news" for the past six months. The test covered foreign and national news, progress in science and More Newswriters Needed for Viking Staff This Summer Pinckney Selected As Managing Editor; Johnson Takes News Editor Post "Writers and would-be writers are cordially, even insistently, invited to contribute to the Northwest Viking during the summer quarter," announces Ralph Shenenberger, editor. "Radical changes in the staff have bene necessitated by the small number of new reporters enrolled— an unprecedented condition apparently caused by the fact that two terms of work are required before credit can be given. We thus automatically exclude beginning reporters who are to be in school only one term, but hope to work out a more flexible credit plan for next summer." Practically all experienced staff members now in school have been moved up to excutive positions and others not in attendance have been solicited to send in material. Louane Pinckney, former reporter and feature ^writer,, is to be managing editor for the quarter, and Mary Elaine Johnston, news editor. Stuart Fresk. veteran staff member, will handle the feature page, and Jim Barnhart, returned for the summer session, will take over sports. Registration this summer is considerably larger than last year, according to James Bever. "Registration has progressed rapidly and smoothly," he states. Both summer sessions in 1934 totalled but 600 as compared to over 750 this year. Over 650 had completed registration Monday. A fairly large registration is expected for the beginning of the second term in July. Most of the registration took place Monday although quite a number were still enrolling in classes during the rest of this week. Over 100 registrations were made by mail, which expedited the work of the first two days. As the students attending during the summer are for the most part out-of-town residents, the various houses are nearly full. The rooms at Edens hall have been fully occupied since the beginning of the quarter. t l is thought that the unusually large attendance for this summer may be partially due to unemployment and to students who are com pleting courses for life diplomas or degrees. The list of degree students will be assembled during the next two weeks by Miss Bouck, secretary to Mr. Bever. Approval of the revised curriculum for Bellingham Normal has been given by the state board of education President C. H. Fisher has just returned from the board's annual meeting in Olympia, where he presented the revised curriculum. Many compliments on its organization were expressed by members of the board, after voting its adoption. Revision of the curriculum was worked out by the faculty curriculum committee, headed by Dr. Irving E. Miller. It eliminates the primary and intermediate curricula, organizing instead, a curriculum for the elementary school, and the junior high school. Both of these curricula overlap the old intermediate curriculum, for it has been found that many students teach grades one to four, and five to eight. This revision gives the students better preparation for teaching these grades. Other Changes Made The curriculum is also changed to the basis of four-year's work, and the three-year diploma will be considered as three years out of the whole, four years. In the past the four years were considered as a year added to the three year's work. More background of general education is included, for 54 credits out of a total of 192, are background subjects. The courses are arranged in the following divisions: background, personal orientation and adjustment, curriculum content, professional, field of concentration, and Iree electives. Life Diplomas Considered The board also considered the matter of life diplomas. President Fisher, as chairman of the committee, gave its report to the board a year ago. It was favorably received, but no action will be taken until the meeting in December. While in Olympia, Mr. Fisher conferred with Governor Clarence Larson Is Chosen Edens Hall Prexy At House Meeting Neal Elected To Vice-Presidency; Johnston Extends Welcome To New Students (Continued on Page Four) o 'Liliom' Will Be Summer Drama Hoppe Choses Play by Hungarian Author Ferenc Molnar for Quarter Work medicine.

In the beginning class, English 50. the scores ranged from 31 to 45, while in the advanced group, English 51, the lowest mark was 39, the highest 61. Given as an experiment to check on the familiarity of the ,two groups with the current scene as a result of their reading the metropolitan dailies subscribed to by the Northwest Viking, the test seems to indicate that the reporters improve as their contact with various newspapers increases. Officers for the summer term were elected at the first house-meeting of Edens Hall last Monday evening, June 17. Evelyn Larson was chosen president, with Ruth Neal vice-president. and hopes for close co-operation from all organized house reporters, as well as for unsolicited personals from other students. Experienced reporters now in school who will write as much as their full schedule allow are: Max-ine Mickle, Glen Greseth, Francis Fisher, Kathefine Bowden, Wilson Waylett, and Bernice Von Pressen-tin. Others not registered who have indicated willingness to contribute "when they have time" are Harry Kluge, Melvin Munson, Elmer Lade, Bill Pierron, Joan Hoppe, and Margaret Morse. The nurse, Miss Nell Bryant, was introduced to the girls after the welcome extended to the new and old members of the dormitory by Miss Florence Johnson, school director of Edens hall. • Following the election, Miss Johnson gave a summary of house rules, and the president invited all the dormitory girls to attend the pa-jama party, Wednesday, June 26, at which time the new girls will be initiated into Edens hall. There will be a program of stunts, games, and a social hour. The other officers elected are: Nellie Lamb, secretaryHtreasurer; Isabelle Lamb, social chairman; Nina Johnson, reporter. "Liliom" by the Hungarian author Ferenc Molnar has been chosen by V. H. Hoppe of the speech department for the summer quarter play. The play was presented during the winter quarter of 1932, at which time Preston Wright took the title role of "Liliom" and Dorothy Fiala played the part of his harassed but patient wife Julie. "Liliom" is an unusual type, turn-in from reality to fantasy. The story shows, the downfall of the hero, abetted by evil associates,-his suicide and final punishment by divine justice while the faith of Julie goes unrewarded. Mr. Hoppe has not chosen his characters from a club, but generally from the students around school. o — CALENDAR Friday, June 21— 8:00 — All-School Mixer, Edens Hall cafeteria.
