DISIRBIITION TODAY
First Two Hundred Students Who
Present Themselves Will
Receive 1933 Annual
I t 's here! The 1933 personality
Klipsun will be distributed this aft­ernoon
to the first two hundred stu­dents
who present themselves for it.
And personality is a good adjective.
Eileen Morrison, editor, has suceed-ed
in creating an annual that repre­sents
the very breath and spirit of
our school. Here are its features:
The phetographs have been de­scribed
as being the "clearest, best-
. looking that have been in an annual
for many years." The engraving
shows careful workmanship, and the
photography is as artistic as could be
desired.
The cover a modern red and black
design on a gray background, is ex­cellent.
The division pages are
something new! Instead of art work
these pages are photographs of per­sonalities
representing the section
which they head.
The personality pages cap—two
pages of sketches of the people be­hind
the scenes in school activities.
This is the most interesting page in
the book.
The writeups, give the book
its charm, and they are new and ap­pealing,
quite different from the
ordinary writeups in annuals. The
makeups show an attempt to get
away from the established things.
Notice the arrangement! These and
many other features make this Klip­sun
one of the best which have ap­peared
in all time.

CELOFANE
A PLAN
By PAUL M. JACKSON
Last Saturday I was standing on
Holly street watching a greengrocer
paint prices on his window. "Green
Peas, 6 pound for 25c; Special."
"Tomatoes , so much; cucumbers, so
much; Special." Then with a grand
flourish, or perhaps it was a gesture
of despair which he realized that he
could not find room on his window
to special all his wares, he painted;
" E V E R Y T H I N G SPECIAL".
W.S.N.S.-
A sign on a truck boldly an­nounced:
Liquid Celofane. So great
was my curiosity that I flagged the
driver and demanded details... Ev­eryone
knows how instantaneously
popular cellophane became for
wrapping practically every com­modity
that is fit for display to the
public. All wares from tooth­brushes
to candy is attractively
covered in the new product derived
from wood. But Liquid Celofane
opened up a world of possibilities.
It is, I discovered, peculiarly fitted to
give a lasting and, beautiful finish to
cars, floors, walls, cabinets, anything
thaLis exposed to the deteriorating
effects of the air.. Such a product is
one more step toward—.
W.S.N.S. —
Comment from a person who had
just finished reading 100,000,000
Guinea Pigs: "My gosh! is there
anything I can buy. or eat?"
W.S.N.S.-
Those who search for glory have a
real opportunity to try their hands.
Seattle is offering a contest, in
which the contestants are to sub­mit
a plan, workable, for the spend­ing
of tremendous sum of money in
the city of Seattle... The plan must
be one that will put the most men
to work and not one thai will spend
the most money... Such a contest
eaDs for real ingenuity. It is an
idea that demands careful thmUng.
Sophs Are Giving
Yearly Award for
High Scholarship
Mary Brock to Receive Silver Cup
with Her Name Inscribed
Each year one freshman receives a
silver trophy from the sophomore
class of the school for scholastic
achievement in all subjects. Mary
Elizabeth Brock, graduate of What­com
high school, was awarded the
trophy this year. The handsome
silver cup will be inscribed with the
winner's name, and the winner will
keep the cup for a year.
Mary Brock has many interests
in life. Her greatest desire at pres­ent
is to complete her teacher train­ing
in order that she may teach in
a Junior high school. She is also
very much interested in science, and
hopes that later on she may qualify
as an assistant in a chemical lab­oratory.
She has already decided
to continue her work in science in
order to achieve that ambition.
From information secured from
her best friend it was discovered
that Mary does "not care for sports.
"Her health will not permit her to
engage in strenuous activities," said
the informant. "While most people
never get close enough to Mary to
know just what kind of a person she
really is, I know that she is one of
the wittiest and most clever persons
I have ever known. She is pleas­ant
to talk too, does not think her
scholastic attainment should be tak­en
too seriously, but she is, natur­ally,
very proud of receiving the
award."
COMPETITION IS CLOSE
Ladder Tournaments Are Drawing
to a Climax This Week
While rain has been holding up
the play in the Tuesday and Thurs­day
tennis class, the competition in
the Wednesday and Friday class is
nearing completion. Shaffer and
Jensen emerged from their matches
last Wednesday as winners and will
play for the championship of that
class.
Shaffer defeated Erickson to go
into the finals and Jensen defeated
Jones. They played one set of their
championship match last Wednes­day,
which Jensen won, and will
complete the matches tftis Friday.
The Tuesday and Thursday class
has not met for the last couple of
weeks because of bad weather and
because the varsity tennis team was
using the courts for matches. Be­cause
of this, the matches in this
class have not reached the quarter­final
stage yet. It is doubtful
whether the play will be completed
in this tournament as there is not
much time left.

GIVEN NEXT WED.
Dot Fiala Has Charge of Affair;
Men's Chorus Presented,
Also Scholarship Cup
Wednesday, June T, has been set
for the annual class day of the grad­uating
class. Davy Jones and Dor­othy
Fiala have charge of the as­sembly
program to be presented at
11 o'clock. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe is
the class adviser for the occasion.
There are many class formalities to
be taken care of at that time, among
them being the presentation of the
freshman cup awarded to the mem­ber
of the freshman class who has
highest scholarship for the school
year of three quarters. Pat Allan
will present the cup as president of
the sophomore class. Djoris McElmon
has held the cup for the past year.
Music Is Given
A program of music has been ar­ranged
including many numbers by
the Men's chorus who will be mak­ing
their first official appearance
this year. Ransford Wise will pre­sent
a clarinet solo as an intermis­sion
number. George Barbo will
sing several tenor solos.
The program, although not defi­nitely
settled, will probably include
some natural dancing numbers or a
short dramatization of some kind.
Prexy to Give Address
President Fisher will, as usual,
give the final address to the nine­teen
hundred and thirty-three grad­uates
of the Bellifigham State Nor­mal
school.

GAMPGRAFT GLASS
VISITS SILVER LAKE
Week-end Spent Far from City;
Real Experience Gained
Carrying out the methods learned
in the Campcraft class, eighteen
members of that class made a trip
to Silver lake last week-end.
The following students made the
trip: James Barnhart, Marvin Al-lyn,
Roger Chapman, Carl Barbo,
Wesley Cole, Ralph Childs, Sidney
Comfort, Abner Breakey, Fred
Knapman, George McMeen, Don
Matheny, Jim McNeely, Clifton Per-ryman,
Harold Berenston, Ralph
Shenenberger, James S t o d d a r d,
Herman Tegenfeldt, Bill Moultray,
Donnie Van Doren.
After the five-mile hike from,Ma­ple
Falls to the lake, games were
played that would be suitable for
any camping trip; such as baseball
and (?) fire-building. In the even­ing
stories were told and games
were played, also a huge bonfire
was kept going until all turned in.
The boys returned Sunday after­noon
about 4 o'clock.
Ruin of Ancient Greek Structure
Described by an Art Enthusiast
Have you noticed the picture
which hangs across the hall from
the auditorium? It is that of the
Athenian Acropolis. The buildings
are located on a percipitous and lof­ty
flat-topped hill. The hill is about
one thousand feet long by five hun­dred
feet wide, and reachs its maxi­mum
elevation of five hundred and
twelve feet on the northeast side.
Prior to the fifth century B. C. an
ancient Pelesgian wall surrounded
the plateau; but this has fallen into
ruin, except on the north side.
Around the base to the hill, especial­ly
on the south are grouped num­erous
temples and theaters, the chief
of these being the Temple of Aescul
Apius, the Theater of Dionysus, and
the Odeon or Herod Atticus. A ser­ies
of edifices occupy the summit.
Among these buildings are the Pro-pylaea,
the Pinacotheca, the Temple
of Nike and the Parthenon.
Parthenon Is Famous
Probably the most familiar of
these buildings is the Parthenon.
This building is two hundred twen­ty-
eight feet by one hundred one
feet. The Parthenon was con­structed
in 447 B. C. and by 438 A.
D. it was ready for the reception of
the great statue Athene Parthenos.
The temple seems to have re­mained
practically intact until its
conversion into a church in the
Byzantine times. Later, in 1458, the

KLIPsImilC HELD
Staff Celebrates the Finish of This
Year's Annual
Have you ever tried to eat fried
chicken according to Emily Post?
It can't be done, it was discovered,
so a motion was made to use hands,
which were made before forks any­way.
This was all decided at the
Klipsun picnic over at Loganita
lodge last Monday evening, where
the staff celebrated the finished an­nual.
After a dinner of said fried chick­en
with all the trimmings the group
adjourned to the reception hall
where cards and pool were played.
Soon four of the more courageous
souls braved the icy waters of Pu-get
Sound and when we say icy we
Board of Control
Decides Question
Summer Viking Work to Count
as Full Quarter
Whether the five issues of the
Northwest Viking which will be is­sued
will be termed a full quarter's
work or an extension of the spring
quarter was the main topic of the
Board of Control meeting Monday,
May 29.
Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser
of the paper, said that if the five
weeks were to count the same as a
full quarter, sufficient material
would be given to qualify as a n extra
quarter's work for pins. However, as
one person can hold the position of
editor for four quarters only, this
was questioned. After discussion it
was voted to count summer quarter
as a full quarter to all the Viking
staff.
Bills from the Co-op for 18 schol­arship
pins were presented. As the
Students' association pays for half
of the pins and the students receiv­ing
them for the other half, it was
voted that $13.50 be given to the
Co-op.
It was decided that the $2 voted
for football and the coach's salary
be put into the athletic fund at the
beginning of fall quarter.

Annual Senior Assembly
Is Farewell Gesture to
Normal School
(Continued on Page Three)
SHORTER TO SPEAK
AT BACCALAUREATE
Services to be Held Sunday at
Normal Auditorium
As a gesture of farewell to the
Normal school the senior class on
Wednesday, June 7, at 10:30 in the
Normal auditorium will present the
annual senior class day assembly.
Dorothy Fiala, in charge of the pro­gram,
says that this should be the
most successful and enjoyable pro­gram
of the quarter. The presenta­tion
of the freshman scholarship
cup and dances by senior members
of the P. E. classes are but two of
the lesser treats in store for those
attending this last student assemb­ly.
Numerals to be Placed
Next Wednesday evening at 8:15
on the Normal school campus the
impressive ceremony of placing the
class numeral in the cement walk
bordering the front of the main
building will be performed. This
solemn occasion has taken place
every year since the founding of
the school.
At nine o'clock, following the
placing of the numeral, there will be
a faculty reception for Normal grad--
uates in the reception room at Edens
hall. Not only are the graduates in­vited,
but their parents and friends
will be cordially welcomed as well.
This reception is always looked for-
The Rev. Fred W. Shorter, pastor
of the . P i l g r i m Congregational
church of Seattle, will preach the
baccalaureate sermon Sunday after­noon.
The service will be held in
the Normal school auditorium and
will begin at 4 o'clock.
The program will open with the
processional hymn, "Praise, My Soul,
the King of Heaven." The graduat­ing
class will enter singing this
hymn, and will remain standing
while the Rev. Dwight C. Smith,
pastor of the First Congregational
church of Bellingham, gives the in­vocation.
The congregation will join
in singing the hymn, "Oh, Worship
the King."
President C. H. Fisher will next
read the Scripture and Rev. Smith
will offer prayer. Following this, the
women's chorus'of the Bellingham
Normal school will sing "Forget"
(Hadley). The chorus is conducted
by Donald Bushell. The baccalau­reate
sermon by Rev. Shorter will,
follow this.
Mr.,;Bushell will! play a, 'cello
solo, "Apres Une Reve" (Faure). He
will be accompanied by Edith R.
Strange. Rev. Shorter will pronounce
the benediction, and the afternoon's
service will be concluded with the
recessional hymn, "Oh, Mother Dear,
Jen^em.-' •'.
Never before has the children's
library offered such a gala exhibit
tion of books as are displayed at the
spring book fair. Starting Wednes­day
after the seventh grade book
program, the book fair will con­tinue
until next Monday.
No matter if you are not in­terested
in reading new books,,
it will be a pleasure to visit
the children's library just to see
the gaily-covered, brightly-bound
volumes that fill the shelves and
tables. These books have all been
borrowed from a local book store
for the occasion. Among the types
of books displayed are books of trav­el
and children's story books of all
kinds, any of which would make
excellent graduation gifts.
The librarians have worked hard
to make their unique display a suc­cess
and are very anxious to have
the collection of books examined.
Not only are the students and fac­ulty
urged to come, but the towns­people
as well will be welcomed.

Taps Are Tapped for Tap-Dancer
as Sweeper Sweeps Sweepstakes
You have probably seen glances
lightly cast from one lover to an­other,
doubtless you have also noted
the look on a calf's face as its mama
fondly lavishes its feelings all over
the place—but we doubt if you have
eveif seen such a look as that which
Jimmy Campbell gives to our own
"Pop Gwinn." Yes, dear children,
there is a story behind it all.
Grass Suffers
It was a sprightly day in May,
the birds were out worm digging,
the campus school children were all
busy doing/their best to ruin the
grass, Normal students were doing
their bit to create havoc around the
school—and, all in all, life was very
much affected by the obvious
"spring-ness" in the air. One child*
(Jimmy) especially, seemed to be in
high spirits and was exercising him­self
by running around the track
when all at once he saw what he
thought was a good chance to show
his very superior abilities along the
lines of athletics—and running in
particular. He had seen "Pop" cast
roving eyes at him as he was passing
carrying out his day's business, and
he had heard "Pop" mention that
he had done some running when he
was a youngster the age of Jimmy,
and so, thought Jimmy, "Why not
challenge "Pop"—he ought to be a
Cinch." '.'/••{'•";;:' . -;V^
