m \> r • W$MM& NOSCHOOL NEXT WEEK ! ! ! VOL. XXXI—NO. 23 — WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, March 17,1933 NORMAUJE SPRING ATHLETICS NEWS INTEREST ENROLLMENT POSSIBILITIES —By Bob Walters Vb- Szigeti, Hungarian Violinist, Is To Present Concert Here on March 29 Critics Concede Musician; To Be Among Accomplished Contemporaries IS SEVENTH AMERICAN TOUR Favorable Criticism Received After Close of Concert 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. : — o • 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." MMMTS 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 FEW GLASSES NOT TO MEET MONDAY STAFF IS APPOINTED FOR SPRING QUARTER Entering Students Charged Late Editor Makes Several Changes in Fees After March 27 Selection of Assistants 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. Will Not Meet Monday All classes will meet Monday, according to schedule except the following: Education 51 at 9, education 104 at 10, Dr. Miller; English 1, at 9, Miss Ullin; English 1, at 10, Dr. Fowler; Geography 1, at 10, and History 1, at 9, Mr. Hunt; History 1, at 10, Mr. Arntzen; Science 1, at 10, Miss Piatt; Science 63, at ,10, and Science 73, at 8-9, Mr. Philippi; Speech 1, at 8, Mr. Hoppe; Technique 57a and 108a, Miss Dawson; Technique 57b and 108b, Miss Trent; Technique 57c and teaching 158, Miss Erickson; and Technique 108c, Miss Wendling. Absences are to be reported from the first day class meets. Students now in school_ who did not make out their schedules and file them in the business office will be charged late registration fees beginning ' with March 27. Students entering the spring quarter for the first time this school year will,pay late fees after March 27. Several changes in the staff of the Viking will be made for the spring quarter. The editor has appointed Francis Fisher as associate editor, to take the place of Julius Dorn-blut, who was elected business manager. Mary Jane Holden will hold the position of assistant editor, succeeding Ina Kirkman. The editor has also selected the new department editors for next quarter. Ralph Shenenberger and Bob Lindsley will be the new sports editors, and Calista Simonds will have charge of headlines. There are to be two newswriting classes next quarter. The beginning class will meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 10 o'clock. Any students who have not already registered who would like to be in this class are asked to get a permit slip from the editor in the Viking office before they register. , —o FAMOUS POPE WAS SCULPTOR'S PATRON Work of Michaelangelo as Great Artist is Discussed EIGHT TO RECEIVE "W" PIN AWARD IS DECIDED BY BOARD Conrad, Griff en, Allan, and Rockey Complete Requirement for Viking Pins SCHOOL BASEBALL DISCUSSED Bids Open for Publication of Tri- Normal Track Booklet (Continued on Page Four, o— 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. (Continued on Page Four) o Students Will Enter Snapshots in Annual Klipsun Contest Now Dust off your kodaks and cameras and (after being sure-they are covered by insurance) take advantage of the spring sunshine by taking some snapshots for the Klipsun snapshot contest. This is a chance for the students to do their part toward making the book a success. All pictures entered in the, contest should be clear and have personality or tell a story. A box is being placed on the landing where you can drop your picture cotnributions or they may be brought to the Student Association off ice. Eilene Morrison, editor, says: "Several prizes are to be awiarded and, contrary to the traditions of previous years, the prizes are not to be boxes of candy." Another set of group pictures are to be taken in the near future, with a sunny setting rather ttian the snow background of the last group. SYMPHONY PLAYS IN L Ensemble Is Under the Direction of John Roy Williams I n this morning's assembly the Bellingham Symphony, under the direction of John Roy Williams, played a wide and varied rogramof classical music. According to Mr. Williams, the orchestra has been working diligently throughout the quarter and should be complimented upon its fine work. The personnel of the orchestra consists not only of Normal students, but of a number of townspeople and high, school students as well. The following program was presented: "Raymond Overture' Thomr as; "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Rusticana" Mascagni; "L'Arlesienne;.

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.

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.
