Playing the University of Wash­ington
Frosh baseball nine for the
second time in the past week, the
Vikings will attempt to avenge the
recent defeat handed them by the
Frosh this afternoon at 3 o'clock on
Waldo field.
: Having defeated the local nine
last Friday, 11-6, and'backed by a
fine season's record, the Frosh will
be slight favorites, but "Pop" Gunn
has had his men working hard for
the past week and will give the
Husky pups a real tussle.
-The Frosh nine has one of the
finest pitching staffs it has had for
several years. Al O'Brien, big gun
for the visitors, will probably start
the day for his team. Heavy hitting
coupled with fine backing last week
gavei "O'Brien a c^mparjat^ely easy,
time with the Vikings. Early this
week Lee, another Frosh twirler,
pitched a no-hit, no-run game
against Bremerton, so the Frosh are
very strong in that department.
Iverson, Viking hurler, had diffi­culty
in finding the plate against.
the Frosh and did not finish the
game. Blanton finished the game
for the Bellingham team. Against
C. P. S. Iverson showed remarkable
control and should be on for this
game. Blanton, Leatha and Moul-tray
are in reserve.
,*. The exact starting line-up for the
Vikings will not be known until this
afternoon, but probably Iverson and
McCleery, batteries; Thorsen, first;
Campbell, second; Abbott, short;
Comfort, third; and Dixon, Wooten,
and McCleery in the field will start
for the Vikings.

ASSEMBLY BY 1930 WINNER.
HARRIED MEWS tfAWKS
ALLOWED SHORT REST
TO PURSUE PLEASURE
Contrary to the belief of the pub­lic,
the life of a reporter is not all
play and it is only once or twice
in the course of events that a hard
working journalist is allowed to in­dulge
in idle pursuits. One of these
infrequent interludes came Friday
evening at the dinner party given
by i Helen Foster for the members
of the Viking staff.
Turning out "en masse", the jour­nalists
enjoyed bridge, dancing,
croquet.
Those who attended were: Bruce
Kibble, Gordon Nichols, Mr. James
Carrell, Lucile Jordan, Gerda Jen­sen,
Jack Gudmundson, Harriet
Sather, Aileen Hurlbert, Jim Rork,
Evelyn Altman, Jimmy Stoddard,
Evelyn Elliott, Dale Thompson, John

James Butler was awarded first

contest, held in regular assemb­ly
last Friday morning, thus win­ning
the silver loving cup, of which
he becomes the custodian for a
year.
Bessie Taylor proved such a close
second that the two tied for first
place in the point score. However,
Butler had the greater number of
first places.

VQuentin Quick, who won the cup
last spring, was chairman of the
contest and presented the trophy to

With two members, Herbert Ruck-mick
and John Rajala, absent, the
Board of Control had another busy
session Wednesday afternoon.
The first thing to come before
-them': was a report engineered by
Sivert Skotheim concerning the re­vision
of the athletic manager award
qualifications. He met with Sam
Carver, head coach, and John Dix­on,
president of the "W" club. The
report that was drawn up was ac­cepted
by the Board, as submitted.
Three Year Basis
In brief, this change in the man­ager
awards bases everything on the
three year curriculum. The first
year managers will merely try out,
and the amount of time served will
not be limited. In the junior year
there will be two managers, who
must serve at least four quarters
before getting the "Junior Mana­gers'
sweater."
One of these will then be select­ed
for senior manager, and will be
given a senior manager sweater,
with a minimum of seven quarters
required. Four of these will be
served in the junior capacity.
Dance Saturday
The Board is co-operating with
the "W" Club in providing the en­tertainment
given by the Normal
school toward the visiting athletes
in the Northwest District High
School track and field meet. The
special Rec hour will be thrown
Saturday afternoon following the
meet, with the Board of Control

Normalites .jwho delight in dancing
will gather in Edens Hall for the
Spring Informal, given by the Edens
Hall girls.
Dancers will think that they have
been transported in some wonderful
way to the Zuyder Zee in old Hol­land,
as the motif conceived by the
decoration committee, headed by
Marion Grieves, is "a la Hollan-dese".
There will be wooden shoes,
a huge windmill, a dyke, and at­tendants
in Dutch costume to round
out the illusion.

CO-OPERATION MAKES
CAMPUS DAY SUCCESS
WORK,; MUSIC, DANCING, AND
PLAY KEYNOTE DAY'S WORK.
A perfect day, peppy music, and
an assembly full of eager Normal­ites
heralded in Campus Day for
this year: Promptly at 8:30 the
students gathered in the auditorium
prepared to do anything that looked
like work. Everyone, including
members of the faculty, was dress­ed
in the most fitting attire for
the day's work. It is no use writ­ing
a column on the good work that
was accomplished by the school, for
every able bodied person knows ex­actly
what he or she did. It is suf­ficient
to say that Sehome Hill and
all the surrounding hills were strip­ped
of all the unsightly under­brush,
papers, dirt, etc., that the
working section could pick up.
In the afternoon the games were
enjoyed by all those that partici­pated.
The water fight will be re­membered
by many for a long time
to come? Mel Eagen and his com­mittee
handled the situation with
such dexterity that no confusion re­sulted.
The dance, given in the
dining hall of Edens Hall brought
forth a lot of talent and was great­ly
enjoyed by the members of the
faculty and| ithe students. The
decorations ^were unique. Ann
Pauling, EsthetJSundquist, and John
James odesbrye special mention in
connection with work done on the
dance program:"

START AT 4 O'CLOCK
This afternoon at 4 o'clock, all
Normal students will lay aside their
books, worries and troubles, to em­bark
on the trip to Lake Samish,
where varied recreational activities
will be engaged in, making the day
one of those events to be remem­bered
as the perfect day.

will make up the' afternoon's1 enter­tainment
until 6:15 p. m., when
dinner will be served. To call this
a picnic lunch would be improper,
because a real dinner will be
served. No expense within reason
is being spared to make the dinner
one to satisfy even those of most
epicurean taste.
The end of a perfect day will
start with dancing at 8 which will
last until 11.
The problem of transportation
has been solved and all wishing to
go will meet at Baughman's corner
at 4 p. m., where cars will be avail­able
for the trip!^ v

various phases of entertainment

TO MEET ON WALDO FIELD.
MEDALS TO BE GIVEN
Tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'­clock,
the district track meet be­tween
the competing high schools
of Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohom­ish
counties will take place on
Waldo field.
Although the Normal school is hot
directly connected with the running
of the gathering, much interest is
being shown towards it. The Nor­mal
school is officially going to do
its part in helping to entertain the
visiting athletes. It is the desire
of those working on this, to show
the high school students some of
the possibilities here at Normal,
and ultimately pick up prospects for
future athletic material.
Will Make Awards
A specially called rec hour will be
held Saturday afternoon. It will be
the usual dance, as far as the Nor­mal
school students are concerned,
while the track participants will be
special guests. It is not known as
to the exact time for the start of
the dance, but it will be called im­mediately
following the close of the
meet. The.probable time is judged

VODYIL PRESENTED
TO LARGE AUDIENCE
MEN'S CLUB PERFORMANCE
SCORES ABUNDANT PRAISE.
Delighting a large and apprecia­tive
audience with a program of
merriment and fun, the Men's club
Vodvil took place last Monday
May 11th, in the school auditorium.
Advertised as the ultimate in en­tertainment,
the Vaudeville show
exceeded the expectations of, the
audience. Variety and balance was
manifest throughout, with sense
and nonsense evident to a sensible
degree.
To single out an individual act for
praise is difficult. But distinguished
by sheer originality the farce en­titled
"Cocoanut Wafers" featuring
the four Marquis Brothers, stands
out. This act was written by the
director, V. H. Hoppe, and was a
hilarious take-off on the school,
its members and perhaps policies.
The old time Minstrel show was
well received and a lackrymose
number by Jacob Kreider called for
encores.
Mystifies
Jack Spong, a professional ma­gician,
entertained with ten minutes
of mystification. This was follow­ed
by an act called "Plastic Poems"
—studies in living statuary; The
"Discus Throw", "The Archer", "The
Wrestler" and other famous works
of art were enacted by Charles

blackness of night.;; .
~ It is to be the Drama Club as­sembly
dated May 22 at 11 o'clock
in the auditorium.
Plot Gripping
"The Haunted House" has a most
unusual and uncanny plot. Thrill
seeking Normalites enter a house
supposedly '•• occupied by ha'nts. A
murder, mysterious personages, vam­pires—
the dread and unnamed Dra-cula—
are all involved in this most
dramatic and suspense creating re­search
into the mystic realms.
The ghosts of the departed an­cestors
of Helen Wahl, Aileen Hurl­bert,
Theresa Hill, Elsie O'Donnell,
and Ethel Little come forth to mock
the foolish and pleasure-made, head­strong
students—Marion Bodiker,
Esther Sundquist, Eileen Morrison,
Art Pearson, and Conrad Bentzen^-
during their mad escapade. Ghast"
ly and terrifying to behold is Cor­nell
Wiese as a Phantom Lady.
Three iir Charge
The vodvil is directed by Theresa
Hill, Virginia Howell, and Mary
MacDonald. Stan Smith has charge
of the lighting effects and the pro­duction
staff consists of Elizabeth
Korthauer, Kathleen Hill, and Bob
Roberts.
The Drama Club is producing this
extravaganza to give its members
an opportunity to be active and also
to give them a chance to obtain
pins.

SUPPORTING CAST STRONG.
"Berkeley Square," the spring pro­duction
of the Normai?iarama^ Club,
promises more than usual interest
for Normal audiences.
In the first place, this play,
through the courtesy of the author,
Mr. Balderston, has been especially
released to the Normal Drama Club.
When the director first applied for
permission to perform, the rights
to production were denied: on the
ground that the author was at pres­ent
withholding all,,such rights to
any amateur performance.
The*directpr of the club, Mr. Vicr
tor H. Hoppe* wired Samuel French
in New York, asking him to explain
to Mr. Balderston how far from the
beaten track of! the professional
stage Bellingham is, what a very
special and selective group consttv
tiite the audience^ to t^^hooL^^/:
Secondly, the play will .prove?, of-note
to Normal audiences because
of the thrilling quality with which
time is handled. In this play, time
should be duly capitalized, for it
is Time, Father Time, with his
whiskers arid scythe and all, that
gives "Berkeley Square'' its un­questioned
• appeal to the imagina­tion.
