Favorable Criticism Received After

Joseph Szigeii to Appear Here
Wednesday Evening, March 29
I t would be interesting to see what
effect, if any, the warm spring days
have on the level of test scores when
they come during the final week of
school, as they have this quarter.
W.S.N.S.
Spring plus athletics is most grat­ifying
to the writer when associated
with the local Normal. It is a time
when the Blue and White makes a
good showing in inter-school com­petition
and yet carries out its full­est
intra-school program of the
year. There are no figures available
for the writer, but we are willing to
venture that without a doubt there
are more students taking part in
some kind of activity in.the spring
than any other quarter.
The Viking track teams always
make a good showing and include a
large number in its participation
list. The tennis squad excels over
the other Normals. The women car­ry
out. a. many-fold program of arch­ery,
* speedball, golf,, tennis, and
what have you. Both men and
women devote many hours to whole­some
recreation on the par-excellent
courts, so that all in all, the spring
athletics come the closest to reach­ing
the goal of "preferred" athletics.
" ~Tnere."wiii"be" no basebaH" teams
sent out to other. schools this year.
With this extra time for intramural
athletics, the coaches should be able
to foster a program that incor­porates
more students than in any
past period. We hope this is the
case, for a development of athletics
that will reach the most students
will be profitable.
W.S.N.S.
With the present rigid economy on
personal exchequers., the., greetings
tend as follows: "Let's have a game
of tennis?" "Ok, got any pellets?"
"No, have you?"
-——W.SN.S.
On the subject of newspapers the
writer does not agree with many
critics of American life, that the
Comics are just so much degrada­tion.
In the better comics there is
as much actual life portrayed as
there is in the better novels. Nat­urally
it is often sugar coated with
silliness and a steady diet is not
the best. .But it is just as well to get
the silliness out of one's system that
way, as to do it in conversation.
W.S.N.S.
A Seattle dentist has joined the
"back to the farm" movement. The
name of his "estate" is Molar Arch­ers.
W.S.N.S.
....We hope that none of you will
have to drop out of school for lack
of the necessary finances.
W.S.N.S. '
This is the last Normalite for the
writer. It has been a steadfast aim
to interest as many as possible with
items as worth while as a student
can turn out. We have tried not to
be too inane or too philosophical.
I t has been a pleasure for me. If
you have gleaned some one useful
point or opinion, I shall feel satis­fied.

Library Course to be
Offered This Spring
Under the joint auspices of the
Bellingham Woman's Music club j
and the Bellingham State- Normal
school, Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian
violinist, will appear in concert at
8:15 p. m. on the evening of March
29 in the school auditorium.
Mr. Szigeti is conceded by critics
to be an artist of rare distinction,
his technical attainments ranking
him among the most accomplished
contemporary instrumentalists.
This is the seventh American tour
made by this compartively young
violinist, who has also appeared in
concert in the Far East and Austra­lia,
where he has met with approval
and acclaim by music lovers and
critics alike.
The following quotation is taken
from an article in the New York
Times: "Mr. Szigeti is, like Kreisler,
one of the few violinists who can
give the impress .of a'personal style
on the music of Bach, without in
any way departing from either the
spirit or the letter of the written
notes. His technique is at its
zenith." Similar favorable criticisms
follow in the wake of Mr. Szigeti's
concert tours both in America and
abroad.
In the New York American, dated
February 2, mention was made of
how abundantly Mr. Szigeti gives of
his "fruitful and lofty art"*, and
of his reverential approach towards
the best music, with its resultant
reward- of applause from a large
congregation of the elect.
Among recent official honors, be­stowed
on Mr Szigeti, have been
the Chevalier of the French "Le­gion
d' Honeur" and the Officer's
Cross of the Hungarian "Ordre pour
le Merite."

H
Reference Librarian Has Charge of
All Continuations
How many students know that our
library has in its shelves nearly 12,-
000 pieces of reference material
commonly known by the names of
annual reports, bulletins, memoirs,
etc. The technical name is "contin­uations"
because these appear at ir­regular
intervals. A type with which
the majority of people are familiar
is the U. S. Office of Education
bulletin. Needless to say, such pub­lications
are of inestimable value
because they are strictly up-to-date,
and may be purchased for practical­ly
the cost of printing.
In this library they are listed on
cards filed in drawers in the back
of the catalogue case.
Bushell Is to Teach
In Music Deparment
During Next Quarter
Although no one took advantage
of the offer to learn to mount pic­tures
and mend books this quarter,
the opportunity will again be offer­ed
in the spring quarter.
: This course carries no credit and
requires two hours of work twice a
jveek. . •.;
^Anyone who is interested should
arrange • to see Miss George, cata­loguer,
as soon as possible, since on-
Js^stoc people can take this course.
Donald Bushell, a graduate of
the University of Washington, will
be added to the faculty for the
spring quarter. He is to take the
place of H. B. Smith in the Music
department.
Mr. Smith was taken ill soon after
the beginning of the fall quarter
and Mr. Bushell came to Bellingham
to finish out that term. As Mr.
Smith had to go to Southern Cali­fornia
for his health and could not
get back for the spring quarter, Mr.
Busnell has been secured to take
his place for the complete quarter.
Last Friday Mr. Bushell was in
Bellingham making arrangements

PALE MOON SHINE
CAUSE OF AMNESIA
School Ma'am Loses Her Memory as
Luna Shines on Sehome
By DICK HAMMETT
When Luna, the moon, shines
down on the face of, the sleeper there
is very grave danger of his becom­ing
lunatic. Luna has strange pow­ers.
Sometimes under the influence
of the entrancing moonshine the
book-weary Normal lad and. lassie
become forgetful of everything save
themselves. Such forgetfulness is
excusable and harmless, but when a
still young and pretty school ma'am
is reminded by Luna's bright light
of wonderful days gone by, extreme
prostration or complete amnesia is
often the result.
According to May Mead, author­ity
on perambulatory amnesia,
moonshine should be taken a little
at a time. An overdose of it on a
balmy spring evening is as hard on
the morale of the normal individual
as an overdose of castor oil may
prove to be.
Hey, Ho!
On a certain night last week a
group of those whose thoughts are
of heavenly phenomena, .rather than
of the material things of this world,
left their respective abodes and by
common consent and mutual under­standing
gravitated toward that
lofty pinnacle of romanticism,
Mount Sehome (the peak about
which that famed anthem "Far
Above the Bay's Blue Waters" was
written). There, in compliance with
Freshmen entering next quarter
will report directly to room 120 on
Monday, March 27. The committee
in charge there will give full in­structions
for registration to this
group.
Students entering from other in­stitutions
will report to the dean's
office for evaluation of credits and
making out a check list of require­ments.
Those transfer students who have
had their credits evaluated at the
dean's office and all old students
will report to room 215 for assign­ments
to advisers.

Eighth Grade Girls
in Training School
Sewing on Dresses
The girls in the eighth grade sew­ing
class are making dresses for the
Red Cross to give to the needy.
This is not being done at the request
of a teacher or of the Red Cross, but
at the request of the girls them­selves.
Several weeks ago when the eighth
grade girls visited the Red Cross
headquarters, they were particularly
impressed by that organization's
sewing program. They discovered
that there are many Red Cross sew­ing
groups in Bellingham, making
dresses for the poof. Why couldn't
they form a group? they asked Miss
Countryman.
With Miss Countryman's consent,
the class asked the Red Gross for
a standard dress pattern and nine­teen
pieces of cloth. The girls are
putting many individual; touches on
tire collar, cuffs and belt of the
dresses. •
NEW SYSTEM BEGUN
Student Deposit Fund Will Be
Started Next Quarter
A student deposit fund will be
opened in the Co-op beginning
March 27.
This deposit fun will be of value
to the student who receives money
from home in the form of a check.
Eftudents wishing to keep money
in the vault at the Co-op will simply
bring their signed checks to the
clerk, who will issue them a receipt
of paymentj similar to the ordinary
bill form. The student will receive
a copy and the Co-op will keep the
other for future reference. When
the depositor wishes to withdraw
money he will fill out a withdrawal
blank to the Co-op, and this will be
filed. The card filing system will
be used. When the account is closed
the withdrawal slips will be return­ed.
There will be one cent service
charge on each withdrawal.
Mr. Ford states, "We are covered
by insurance up to $4,000 against
hold-up and burglary, and can as­sure
you that your money will re­main
in the vault untouched until
you, yourself, draw out the deposit.
HOPPE fflVES PLAY
Few of Major Scenes Featured on
Three-Act Mystery
t
A radio version of David Belasco's
famous play, "The Return of Peter
Grimm'', was presented by Victor H.
Hoppe over KVOS last Wednesday
evening.
This mystery play, made famous
on the stage by David Warfield,
consists of three acts, though in Mr.
Hoppe's rearrangement only three
of the major scenes were brought
out. ^
The theme of the story centered
around an old Dutch market gar­dener,
Peter Grimm, who was very
dictatorial during his life and left
definite orders to , be carried out
alter his death. He was portrayed
after death as realizing his mis-r
takes and returning in spirit form
;to\rectify-them. ;• --'
By ELIZABETH SCHUEHLE
Julius II, a pope in Rome about
1503, was one of the most striking
figures in history. He was not a
scholastic person and did not have
any scholastic ambitions. • He, how­ever,
was much interested in art,
and became a patron of it soon after
he became pope. <-
Michaelangelo was a famous pain­ter,
architect, and sculptor of Flor­ence,
Italy. In fact, he was one of
the greatest artists that ever lived,
particularly during the time of the
Renaissance. He had already ac­complished
many notable works
when the pope heard of him, and as
soon as possible Michaelangelo was
asked to come to Rome.
Pope's Tomp Designed
The Pope gave Michaelangelo in­structions
for the decoration of his
tomb which was to be in St. Peters
cathedral at Rome. As Michael­angelo
was a man of terrible visions
and great passions, a commission
like this was a great opportunity for
him. In a short time he had de­signed
a sketch which would have
dwarfed all ohters of its kind if it
had been carried out. He planned
many reliefs and decorative details,
and forty-nine statues, twelve of
which were to be of heroic size! The
sketch aroused the enthusiasm of
the Pope.
Four members of the Northwest
Viking staff and four members of
the Board of Control are to receive
the award of the official "W" pin,
according to a vote of the Board of
Control at its regular Monday meet­ing.
Having completed the requirement
of two quarters work on the Viking
with credit and two quarters work
without credit, Marydel Conrad*
Arvid Griffen, Glenn Rockey, and
Pat Allan are eligible to receive
the award. Those'members complet­ing
the required two quarters as
members of the Board of Control
are: Otto Finley, Bert Gallanger,
Harriet Rickerson, and Miss Linda
Countryman.
In the past the cost of pins has
amounted to a great deal and the
Board decided to give John Christy,
president, authority to purchase the
award pins from the firm offering
the lowest bid.
Notice Posted
After some discussion it was de­cided
to post on the main bulletin
board a notice concerning those who
wish to apply as editor of a Tri-
Normal track booklet to be published
next quarter for the. Tri-normal
track meet, May 20.
Baseball Discussed
In a report carrying over from
the previous meeting Bert Gallanger,
after conferring with Coach Sam
Carver, informed the Board that the
future of baseball depends largely
upon the cost of track this year. He
also stated that the school has the
choice of entering the Twilight
league or the Community league.
A charge of $40 is required to
join the Twilight league. No action
was taken at the.time.
A monthly itemized account of
those departments directly respon­sible
to the Board of Control was
read and discussed.
A bill for the cost of cleaning up
the gym after rec hours was ap­proved.

Eilene Morrison, editor, says: "Sev­eral
prizes are to be awiarded and,
contrary to the traditions of pre­vious
