The costume idea struck home, and everybody •was happy. I t has been suggested that since the costume idea is such a successful one, that the Spring dance, which crowns the Campus Day festivities, take the form of an all-school-all-alumni masquerade. Masquerades, if they are properly planned, can be made very fantastic affairs. There is always much of color and of gaiety, what with a crepe-paper Romeo dancing with a cheese-cloth Pierette, while a synthetic Pierrot sulks under a tinfoil moon or jealously amuses a cretonne Juliet. There are always clowns and pirates, yokels and city-slickers, and Wild Men from Borneo. And if it is a well-regulated masquerade, Jo- Jo* may be there. But whosoever attends, costume affairs are always long anticipated and long-remembered, and the present writer, your humble servant, adds his name to the list of those who would like to see an all school masquerade dance presented. (*Jo-Jo is t he dog-faced boy who broke into white lights by running around the world-three times and then jumping sixty feet into a glass of buttermilk.—Editor.) W.S.N.S. Rumor has it that, in order to compensate for t h e Rec. hour, which never came a week ago, that a double Rec. hour will be held some week-end. The "double Rec hour" will be held in the evening. These affairs have been held before, and with great success. —W.S.N.S.— Last year, Normal built three new tennis courts. I t already had three tennis courts, which made six altogether, if we are to believe reliable authority. Then, in order to make ready for play on the three new tennis courts, the nets were removed from the three old tennis courts, which left us just where we were when we started. What certain individuals are trying to figure out is, now that we are where we are, where are we? —W.S.N.S.— The Scribes' Club got under way last week, and bids fair to bring forth again, "bigger and better than ever before," the Red Arrow. The Red Arrow, in the past, has been a compliment to the institution, and has furnished the various individuals who contributed,, with a medium for the expression of beauty and comedy as they see it. The Red Arrow should be encouraged, and should represent the fin- ; est of the creative artistry of the school. One of the strongest criticisms that can be directed against a school with a too-heavy emphasis on the objective methods of instruction, is that it gives the student some understanding of the beauty which other artists have created, without developing in him whatever latent powers of interpretation he may possess. « YE PROF'S DIARY Sumerz kum akordyng tem thu way ower teniz kourtz look.

AS LATE CONTEST IS CLi Manuscripts Have Not Yet Been Judged; Awards Will Depend On Quality and Suitability of Work. 18 COMPLETE SONGS IN Contest Conducted In Hopes That Song Might Be Found to Typify Spirit of Bellingham Normal. The song contest came to a close last week when a veritable downpour of original songs came tumbling in a t t he last moment upon the committee in charge. Eighteen complete manuscripts have been received. Judging has not yet taken place as a short time must be set aside to allow' those manuscripts which might be in transit to arrive before the actual judging commences. The judges, who are Harold B. Smith, Music department; H. E. Fowler, English department; Albert Booman, president Alumni Association; Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Belling-ham Women's Music Club; President C. H. Fisher; one member of the B. S. N. S. student body; and one member of the Board of Control, will plan in detail, specific criteria for judging, and thet exact manner in which they will go about it. Slips will be pasted over the names of music composers and word writers, and each song will be given a number, so that judgment will depend entirely upon the quality and suitableness of the songs submitted. Names of all contributors, as well as the prize winners, will be published later after the final decisions have been made. In the event that a suitable song is not submitted the Committee of Judges reserve the right to postpone the awarding of prizes and advise continuation of the contest. However, with as many contributions as have ben turned in, it is hardly likely that this privilege will be exercised. The first prize for t he best words and music will be forty dollars, for the second best, twenty dollars, and ten dollars for the third best. This song contest has been conducted for the past year in the hopes that a song might be com- THIRTY GIRLS SIGNED... . UP TO GO TO SINCLAIR ISLAND ON SATURDAY Thirty girls will leave tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, on the mail boat, from the Quackenbush dock, for Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair island, where they will participate in a work-day to put t he lodge in order for the coming season. All faculty members and women students are eligible to go, but only the first thirty signed up can be taken. Over at the lodge the girls plan to do big things under the leadership of Mr. George Dach, head gardener. There will be a general cleaning up of the grounds and the cabin, and possibly some work on building a fireplace and a fence around the property. Working will be predominant, but fun and food will have their places and the trip looks like one of t he best of t he Saturday affairs, according to Marjorie Coventon, general chairman of the lodge committee. OREGON NORMAL TO DEBATE TEAM HERE Ray Craft and Lyle Summers to Battle for Affirmative, While Mr. Strothers Is Critic Judge. MAUD SCHEERER Drama Recitalist . SCHEERER TO BE IN TWO ASSEMBLIES GIVEN NEXT WEEK Miss Maud Scheerer To Present Group of. "Dramatic Recreations" In a Special Assembly Monday. / The last two weeks nave been very busy and rather discouraging ones for the debate teams. Here are some recent debate decisions and facts. February 25, Helen Fitzwater and Lois Thomson defeated the College of Puget Sound negative team. February 26, Alice Burke and Louise Lilienthal, negative team, lost a decision to the College of Puget Sound, at Tacoma. February 27, the Women's affirmative team lost to the Pacific Lutheran College, at Tacoma. February 28, the Women's negative team and the Men's affirmative team went to Seattle and debated the Seattle Pacific College. In the former case the Normal team lost, but the men won to even things up. Carl Windesheim, coach of the negative teams at the University of Washington, was the critic judge at, the men's debate. March 3, the Women's negative posed which would typify the truev team won over the Pacific Lutheran spirit of the Normal By the Sea. Last year Gay Springsteel was appointed by t he Board of Control as chairman of the song contest committee. His duties were taken over this year by Edith Dyer, with Jean Philippi, Frances Young, and Ethel Boynton, as assistants. Mr. Ruck-mick is faculty adviser. BAND TO FEATURE FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY The Normal Pep Band, under the leadership of Clarence Thue, will present another of its well-liked assembly programs on next Friday, March 14. The Pep Band has never failed, since its first organization, to present an attractive and effective recital before the student body, upon any occasion on which it appeared, and i t is certain that next Friday's presentation will not be an exception. Definite plans for the program have not been fully formulated, but Clarence Thue has completed the arrangement of several new selections for the band, and a number of special acts, to be presented between band selections, are being rehearsed. -. : ;—O FISHER TO RETURN President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal School, is expected to return Sunday from the East, where he went a few weeks ago to attend edu-= cational meetings in Atlantic, City and conferences of President Hoover's child health commission, in Washington, D. C. He also' planned to go to New York City. \ College, here. The judges were Miss Madge Ware, principal of the Washington school; Miss Mary Muir, instructor of English at Washington High school, and Mrs. Sue Boynton. March 4, the Men's team of t he Normal and the Pacific Lutheran College debated a dual debate, the school's affirmative teams traveling. The Lutheran College won both decisions. Judges for the debate here on the above date, were W. M. Shep-hard, of Whatcom High school; Olaf Strowme, of Fairhaven High school, and Judge Olsen. Monday, March 10, Ray Craft and Lyle Summers, affirmative team, will meet the Oregon State Normal here at 7:30. The critic judge at this time will probably be Charles Strothers, who is a coach and instructor at the University of Washington, and was for three years a member of the Varsity team. After the debate, Mr. Strothers will explain the decision. March 12 is the date of another dual debate, this time with the College of Puget Sound, the negative teams of schools traveling. Therefore, Quentin Quick and John Thorpe will debate in Tacoma, while Roger Reid and Lyle Summers will debate here. MISS SPERRY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT CLUB MEETING Presenting groups of "dramatic r e creations," the term she applies to her clever method of interpreting short plays as she reads them, Maud Scheerer will entertain.in a special assembly,at 11 o'clock next Monday morning, as well as in the regular assembly on Tuesday. She will also give a talk before the Faculty Forum on the subject, "Drama as a World Force," using the play, "Journey's End" as an illustration, and it is expected that she will visit some of the Normal's speech classes during the time in which ,she will be here. Balanced Programs In Monday morning's program, it is expected that she will read "High Lights of the Season," part of t he "Street Scene" and the "Criminal Code." Since these plays are all of a more or less serious motif, she may insert some short numbers of a lighter nature between them by way of attaining a program of better balance. She has expressed her desire to present "The Skin Game" in Tuesday's assembly, since its re-; cent introduction in London met with most marvellous success, and her personal opinion of its merits is extremely high. Creates Reality Maud Scheerer, in her dramitc recitals, is said to create the vitality absorbing reality of the actual stage. By her adroit description, the audience is made to visualize the scene, and is introduced to the characters. Quickly the curtain is up, the stage set, and she draws her listeners into the plot and aption with a sweeping tempo, as clear as it is brilliant. THE WINTER QUARTER EXTEMPORE CONTEST IS TO BE HELD SOON The preliminaries contest for the Extempore Contest, when six contestants for the Winter quarter finals will be picked, will be held in Room 308 a t 4 o'clock, March 13. At 9 o'clock of that morning in Room 310 t he specific topics will be given out, thus giving the contestants all day to prepare. Those who cannot appear at this time should send someone to get their topic. Entrants should leave their names and chosen topics at the speech office before 4 o'clock Wednesday, March 12. The following Tuesday, March 18, the winners will compete before t he assembly for a chance to speak in the Spring finals. Last quarter's winners w e re Quentin Quick and Eleanor Lang-worthy, who placed first and second, respectively. o BOARD OF CONTROL HOLDS DISCUSSION Song Contest, Drama Money, and Viking Editorship Have Place In Business Brought Up At Meeting. Miss M. Belle Sperry gave a book review at a meeting of the Aftermath Club, at their clubhouse, Monday afternoon, on "Raj, Brigand Chief," which is a picture of. life in India Monday:; evening; she repeated the review for the Delphian; ClUD; . .'"v ^'V>\'v' ' -Vi-i1" •: ^•! PEP CLUB PERFORMS FOR LEGION MEETING With Jack Musser acting as master of ceremonies and Clarence Thue as leader, the Normal Pep Club, on last Monday evening, presented the most successful of any of the programs it has given outside of the school. The performers appeared before the American Legion, in the new Legion hall, and every act. was received with great delight by t he audience. The band numbers were played perfectly, and were greatly appreciated, and t he specialty acts were even more liked. The vocal trio, consisting of Wayne Piem, Barbara Bourne, and Dorothy Knuppenberg, and the tap dance presented by Ann Swanson, Florence Goodman, and Marion Bodiker, were probably the two most successful of the presentations. Each received a most generous round of applause. At the end of the program the audience demanded and received several encores, and when all was/finally concluded the listeners arose in a^ body ;to"'ap^^ud:'.ifie.'performei^) left the Things are rather quiet around the Board of Control at present, with little business to be brought up. They held a meeting last Monday, but will, in all probability, postpone the coming one. However, things will soon pick up as applications for various offices come in and the work of closing up this quarter's business will take place. - . . . . • ' • - At the last meeting, seventy-five dollars was voted to aid Mr. Victor Hoppe in carrying on the drama work. A discussion of the song contest ensued. The contest is now closed and a group of judges and committeemen are attempting to pick out the prize refrain. During the final week of the quarter, applications will be received at the office of the Board of Control for Editor of the Northwest Viking, Business Manager of same, and Secretary of the Board of Control. As yet, none have actually signified their intentions of applying for these positions, but rumors have it that for the two paper jobs, Ray Craft and Gordon Leen will place their names on the candidate list, the former trying for the Editor job. In last week's issue, The Viking stated that officers of the Board of Control must be two-year residents of Bellingham. This is slightly erroneous, in that any member must have had two-quarters of residence work here at Normal. o SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY MEETS AT PHILIPPI HOME "WHITEHEADED BOY" TO BE PRESENTED BY I L DRAMA CLUB IN AUDITORIUM I t THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF NEXT W l Don Stickney Carries Lead in Part of Prodigal Son,! Who Furnishes Family Trouble Enough to Make; This Play a Rollicking Gomedy of Irish Home-Life; Student Activities Tickets Admit: to Unreserved Section —, General Admission Will Be Fifty Cents. STUDENTS COMPETE IN NATION-WIDE CONTEST Eleven Normal students have entered the second national League of Nations' essay contest. Each entrant must submit a.thesis on one of eight topics not later than March 31. A trip to Europe is t h e first prize with several cash prizes for other winners. The students entered in the contest are: Verna Bond, Edith Dyer, Mrs. Natalie Dawson, Mrs. Edna B. Finley, Katherine Graham, Inez Kreshler, Betty Mortland, Daisy Mooney, Eleanor Park, Chas. Rich, Edna C. Wardleigh. STUDENTS ENTERTAIN LOCAL KIWANIS CLUB The Scholarship Society met at the home of Jean Philippi, one of its members, last Tuesday evening. After a short business meeting, during which Curtis Bell was appointed editor of the annual News Letter, there followed an evening of very interesting discussion, led by Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper. Later refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi were guests of the society, in accordance with the custom of inviting some faculty member to each meeting. O : / DR. ROBERT H. GLOVER SPEAKS ON MISSIONS FIELD Dr. Robert H. Glover, of Philadelphia, spoke before the Normal Y. W. C. A. last Tuesday afternoon, on "What Constitutes a Call to the Mission Field?" In his speech he said that the missionary call was based upon heavenly or spiritual vision and the vision of the field. He was well received by a large audience. • •" •' ' — ;—O - . STUDENTS EXPRESS SYMPATHY The Student body wishes to.express its sympathy to Hildur Anderson, whose mother died in Kcdiak, Alaska^ recently. ; Several Normal students contributed to the musical program given at the Kiwanis Club luncheon in the Bellingham.Hotel last Tuesday noon. Frances Young, soprano, accompanied by Margaret Morrison, sang "Pleurez-Mes, Yeau," by Mas-sanet; "Sonata Op 45", by Grieg, and closing the program a group of violin selections were given by Charles Bensen, accompanied by Sue McMillin. —. o— APPOINTMENT BUREAU Miss Elizabeth Hopper, of t he Appointment bureau announces that Alza Reff has recently accepted a position as teacher of the primary grades in Greenacres, Washington. Miss Reff attended school here some time ago. :—_o RESULTS OF TEST GIVEN BY BUREAU Several weeks ago the%. students enrolled in the Englisji classes in the three Normal schools of the State, were asked by the Research Bureau to spell a list of sixteen words. The main purpose of collecting the attempted spellings of these sixteen words is for some research work which is being done in t he field of phonetics by the Bureau of Research and Department of' Speech. The students who participated in the study'have expressed an interest in learning the results in terms of the number of words missed and the difficulty of the different words. I n the tables which follow, Bellingham is indicated by t he letter "A," and t he other two Normal schools by the letters "B" and "C." "• • ' - Table I Difficulty of the Sixteen Words Expressed in Per Cent of Students Mispelling Each Word. After a month of intense work;; and patient practice the Drama clubs finally enters into the nome stretch^ and will have a play in its complete form ready for public presentation next Thursday and Friday nights. The drama will be given in the Nor-'; mal auditorium and general admission will be fifty, cents. Normal activity tickets admit to unreserved section, but 25c will be charged for the reserved section. "The Whiteheaded Boy," with its> own unique action, rich humor, arid • genuine everyday people is enough.' in itself to appeal to t he audience; but under the fine direction of Mr; Hoppe, who has worked out every situation so that it goes over and is made clear, the play should be a huge success. Stickney Has Lead Don Stickney carries the l e a d en the character of Denis Geohegari, the whiteheaded boy, the prodigal son, and in t he opinion of his broth-; ers and sisters, everything that stands for a lazy, shiftless, spend-* thrift. Denis just hasn't had^.a; chance, but as t h e action advances he develops into quite an exceptional young man. The play has no direct feminine lead, but Mary McDonald, in the character role of the very positive Aunt Ellen, and Chloris Fisher, as the mother who thinks her Denis is no less than "an angel . from hiven," have outstanding parts. The rehearsals have furnished much'pleasure for both cast and director. A great source of amuse-; ment came from the earrifest efforts to produce and retain an Irish ; brogue. After a character's firria deT cision to say "owld" he would give a few lines then in the interest of acting, lapse back to the English;' speech. A clever piece of comedy is shown when one of the Geohegan boys sits on the top steps of the i (Continued on Page Six) • A B C Total Minimum .:. 13.0 14.4 13.5 13.6 Annum ........ ... 13.0" 13.2 21.2 15.9 Psychology .. ...26.1 7.4 11.0 16.1 Technical .... ...20.0 12.5 14.5 16.1 Pneumonia .. - 161 16.0 18.0 16,5 (Continued on Page Two) CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m., Rec. hour.

But whosoever attends, costume affairs are always long anticipated and long-remembered, and the present writer, your humble servant, adds his name to the list of those who would like to see an all school masquerade dance presented. (*Jo-Jo is t he dog-faced boy who broke into white lights by running around the world-three times and then jumping sixty feet into a glass of buttermilk.—Editor.) W.S.N.S. Rumor has it that, in order to compensate for t h e Rec. hour, which never came a week ago, that a double Rec. hour will be held some week-end. The "double Rec hour" will be held in the evening. These affairs have been held before, and with great success. —W.S.N.S.— Last year, Normal built three new tennis courts. I t already had three tennis courts, which made six altogether, if we are to believe reliable authority. Then, in order to make ready for play on the three new tennis courts, the nets were removed from the three old tennis courts, which left us just where we were when we started. What certain individuals are trying to figure out is, now that we are where we are, where are we? —W.S.N.S.— The Scribes' Club got under way last week, and bids fair to bring forth again, "bigger and better than ever before," the Red Arrow. The Red Arrow, in the past, has been a compliment to the institution, and has furnished the various individuals who contributed,, with a medium for the expression of beauty and comedy as they see it. The Red Arrow should be encouraged, and should represent the fin- ; est of the creative artistry of the school. One of the strongest criticisms that can be directed against a school with a too-heavy emphasis on the objective methods of instruction, is that it gives the student some understanding of the beauty which other artists have created, without developing in him whatever latent powers of interpretation he may possess. « YE PROF'S DIARY Sumerz kum akordyng tem thu way ower teniz kourtz look.

AS LATE CONTEST IS CLi Manuscripts Have Not Yet Been Judged; Awards Will Depend On Quality and Suitability of Work. 18 COMPLETE SONGS IN Contest Conducted In Hopes That Song Might Be Found to Typify Spirit of Bellingham Normal. The song contest came to a close last week when a veritable downpour of original songs came tumbling in a t t he last moment upon the committee in charge. Eighteen complete manuscripts have been received. Judging has not yet taken place as a short time must be set aside to allow' those manuscripts which might be in transit to arrive before the actual judging commences. The judges, who are Harold B. Smith, Music department; H. E. Fowler, English department; Albert Booman, president Alumni Association; Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Belling-ham Women's Music Club; President C. H. Fisher; one member of the B. S. N. S. student body; and one member of the Board of Control, will plan in detail, specific criteria for judging, and thet exact manner in which they will go about it. Slips will be pasted over the names of music composers and word writers, and each song will be given a number, so that judgment will depend entirely upon the quality and suitableness of the songs submitted. Names of all contributors, as well as the prize winners, will be published later after the final decisions have been made. In the event that a suitable song is not submitted the Committee of Judges reserve the right to postpone the awarding of prizes and advise continuation of the contest. However, with as many contributions as have ben turned in, it is hardly likely that this privilege will be exercised. The first prize for t he best words and music will be forty dollars, for the second best, twenty dollars, and ten dollars for the third best. This song contest has been conducted for the past year in the hopes that a song might be com- THIRTY GIRLS SIGNED... . UP TO GO TO SINCLAIR ISLAND ON SATURDAY Thirty girls will leave tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, on the mail boat, from the Quackenbush dock, for Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair island, where they will participate in a work-day to put t he lodge in order for the coming season. All faculty members and women students are eligible to go, but only the first thirty signed up can be taken. Over at the lodge the girls plan to do big things under the leadership of Mr. George Dach, head gardener. There will be a general cleaning up of the grounds and the cabin, and possibly some work on building a fireplace and a fence around the property. Working will be predominant, but fun and food will have their places and the trip looks like one of t he best of t he Saturday affairs, according to Marjorie Coventon, general chairman of the lodge committee. OREGON NORMAL TO DEBATE TEAM HERE Ray Craft and Lyle Summers to Battle for Affirmative, While Mr. Strothers Is Critic Judge. MAUD SCHEERER Drama Recitalist . SCHEERER TO BE IN TWO ASSEMBLIES GIVEN NEXT WEEK Miss Maud Scheerer To Present Group of. "Dramatic Recreations" In a Special Assembly Monday. / The last two weeks nave been very busy and rather discouraging ones for the debate teams. Here are some recent debate decisions and facts. February 25, Helen Fitzwater and Lois Thomson defeated the College of Puget Sound negative team. February 26, Alice Burke and Louise Lilienthal, negative team, lost a decision to the College of Puget Sound, at Tacoma. February 27, the Women's affirmative team lost to the Pacific Lutheran College, at Tacoma. February 28, the Women's negative team and the Men's affirmative team went to Seattle and debated the Seattle Pacific College. In the former case the Normal team lost, but the men won to even things up. Carl Windesheim, coach of the negative teams at the University of Washington, was the critic judge at, the men's debate. March 3, the Women's negative posed which would typify the truev team won over the Pacific Lutheran spirit of the Normal By the Sea. Last year Gay Springsteel was appointed by t he Board of Control as chairman of the song contest committee. His duties were taken over this year by Edith Dyer, with Jean Philippi, Frances Young, and Ethel Boynton, as assistants. Mr. Ruck-mick is faculty adviser. BAND TO FEATURE FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY The Normal Pep Band, under the leadership of Clarence Thue, will present another of its well-liked assembly programs on next Friday, March 14. The Pep Band has never failed, since its first organization, to present an attractive and effective recital before the student body, upon any occasion on which it appeared, and i t is certain that next Friday's presentation will not be an exception. Definite plans for the program have not been fully formulated, but Clarence Thue has completed the arrangement of several new selections for the band, and a number of special acts, to be presented between band selections, are being rehearsed. -. : ;—O FISHER TO RETURN President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal School, is expected to return Sunday from the East, where he went a few weeks ago to attend edu-= cational meetings in Atlantic, City and conferences of President Hoover's child health commission, in Washington, D. C. He also' planned to go to New York City. \ College, here. The judges were Miss Madge Ware, principal of the Washington school; Miss Mary Muir, instructor of English at Washington High school, and Mrs. Sue Boynton. March 4, the Men's team of t he Normal and the Pacific Lutheran College debated a dual debate, the school's affirmative teams traveling. The Lutheran College won both decisions. Judges for the debate here on the above date, were W. M. Shep-hard, of Whatcom High school; Olaf Strowme, of Fairhaven High school, and Judge Olsen. Monday, March 10, Ray Craft and Lyle Summers, affirmative team, will meet the Oregon State Normal here at 7:30. The critic judge at this time will probably be Charles Strothers, who is a coach and instructor at the University of Washington, and was for three years a member of the Varsity team. After the debate, Mr. Strothers will explain the decision. March 12 is the date of another dual debate, this time with the College of Puget Sound, the negative teams of schools traveling. Therefore, Quentin Quick and John Thorpe will debate in Tacoma, while Roger Reid and Lyle Summers will debate here. MISS SPERRY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT CLUB MEETING Presenting groups of "dramatic r e creations," the term she applies to her clever method of interpreting short plays as she reads them, Maud Scheerer will entertain.in a special assembly,at 11 o'clock next Monday morning, as well as in the regular assembly on Tuesday. She will also give a talk before the Faculty Forum on the subject, "Drama as a World Force," using the play, "Journey's End" as an illustration, and it is expected that she will visit some of the Normal's speech classes during the time in which ,she will be here. Balanced Programs In Monday morning's program, it is expected that she will read "High Lights of the Season," part of t he "Street Scene" and the "Criminal Code." Since these plays are all of a more or less serious motif, she may insert some short numbers of a lighter nature between them by way of attaining a program of better balance. She has expressed her desire to present "The Skin Game" in Tuesday's assembly, since its re-; cent introduction in London met with most marvellous success, and her personal opinion of its merits is extremely high. Creates Reality Maud Scheerer, in her dramitc recitals, is said to create the vitality absorbing reality of the actual stage. By her adroit description, the audience is made to visualize the scene, and is introduced to the characters. Quickly the curtain is up, the stage set, and she draws her listeners into the plot and aption with a sweeping tempo, as clear as it is brilliant. THE WINTER QUARTER EXTEMPORE CONTEST IS TO BE HELD SOON The preliminaries contest for the Extempore Contest, when six contestants for the Winter quarter finals will be picked, will be held in Room 308 a t 4 o'clock, March 13. At 9 o'clock of that morning in Room 310 t he specific topics will be given out, thus giving the contestants all day to prepare. Those who cannot appear at this time should send someone to get their topic. Entrants should leave their names and chosen topics at the speech office before 4 o'clock Wednesday, March 12. The following Tuesday, March 18, the winners will compete before t he assembly for a chance to speak in the Spring finals. Last quarter's winners w e re Quentin Quick and Eleanor Lang-worthy, who placed first and second, respectively. o BOARD OF CONTROL HOLDS DISCUSSION Song Contest, Drama Money, and Viking Editorship Have Place In Business Brought Up At Meeting. Miss M. Belle Sperry gave a book review at a meeting of the Aftermath Club, at their clubhouse, Monday afternoon, on "Raj, Brigand Chief," which is a picture of. life in India Monday:; evening; she repeated the review for the Delphian; ClUD; . .'"v ^'V>\'v' ' -Vi-i1" •: ^•! PEP CLUB PERFORMS FOR LEGION MEETING With Jack Musser acting as master of ceremonies and Clarence Thue as leader, the Normal Pep Club, on last Monday evening, presented the most successful of any of the programs it has given outside of the school. The performers appeared before the American Legion, in the new Legion hall, and every act. was received with great delight by t he audience. The band numbers were played perfectly, and were greatly appreciated, and t he specialty acts were even more liked. The vocal trio, consisting of Wayne Piem, Barbara Bourne, and Dorothy Knuppenberg, and the tap dance presented by Ann Swanson, Florence Goodman, and Marion Bodiker, were probably the two most successful of the presentations. Each received a most generous round of applause. At the end of the program the audience demanded and received several encores, and when all was/finally concluded the listeners arose in a^ body ;to"'ap^^ud:'.ifie.'performei^) left the Things are rather quiet around the Board of Control at present, with little business to be brought up. They held a meeting last Monday, but will, in all probability, postpone the coming one. However, things will soon pick up as applications for various offices come in and the work of closing up this quarter's business will take place. - . . . . • ' • - At the last meeting, seventy-five dollars was voted to aid Mr. Victor Hoppe in carrying on the drama work. A discussion of the song contest ensued. The contest is now closed and a group of judges and committeemen are attempting to pick out the prize refrain. During the final week of the quarter, applications will be received at the office of the Board of Control for Editor of the Northwest Viking, Business Manager of same, and Secretary of the Board of Control. As yet, none have actually signified their intentions of applying for these positions, but rumors have it that for the two paper jobs, Ray Craft and Gordon Leen will place their names on the candidate list, the former trying for the Editor job. In last week's issue, The Viking stated that officers of the Board of Control must be two-year residents of Bellingham. This is slightly erroneous, in that any member must have had two-quarters of residence work here at Normal. o SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY MEETS AT PHILIPPI HOME "WHITEHEADED BOY" TO BE PRESENTED BY I L DRAMA CLUB IN AUDITORIUM I t THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF NEXT W l Don Stickney Carries Lead in Part of Prodigal Son,!

Rich, Edna C. Wardleigh. STUDENTS ENTERTAIN LOCAL KIWANIS CLUB The Scholarship Society met at the home of Jean Philippi, one of its members, last Tuesday evening. After a short business meeting, during which Curtis Bell was appointed editor of the annual News Letter, there followed an evening of very interesting discussion, led by Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper. Later refreshments were served. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi were guests of the society, in accordance with the custom of inviting some faculty member to each meeting. O : / DR. ROBERT H. GLOVER SPEAKS ON MISSIONS FIELD Dr. Robert H. Glover, of Philadelphia, spoke before the Normal Y. W. C. A. last Tuesday afternoon, on "What Constitutes a Call to the Mission Field?" In his speech he said that the missionary call was based upon heavenly or spiritual vision and the vision of the field. He was well received by a large audience. • •" •' ' — ;—O - . STUDENTS EXPRESS SYMPATHY The Student body wishes to.express its sympathy to Hildur Anderson, whose mother died in Kcdiak, Alaska^ recently. ; Several Normal students contributed to the musical program given at the Kiwanis Club luncheon in the Bellingham.Hotel last Tuesday noon. Frances Young, soprano, accompanied by Margaret Morrison, sang "Pleurez-Mes, Yeau," by Mas-sanet; "Sonata Op 45", by Grieg, and closing the program a group of violin selections were given by Charles Bensen, accompanied by Sue McMillin. —. o— APPOINTMENT BUREAU Miss Elizabeth Hopper, of t he Appointment bureau announces that Alza Reff has recently accepted a position as teacher of the primary grades in Greenacres, Washington. Miss Reff attended school here some time ago. :—_o RESULTS OF TEST GIVEN BY BUREAU Several weeks ago the%. students enrolled in the Englisji classes in the three Normal schools of the State, were asked by the Research Bureau to spell a list of sixteen words. The main purpose of collecting the attempted spellings of these sixteen words is for some research work which is being done in t he field of phonetics by the Bureau of Research and Department of' Speech. The students who participated in the study'have expressed an interest in learning the results in terms of the number of words missed and the difficulty of the different words. I n the tables which follow, Bellingham is indicated by t he letter "A," and t he other two Normal schools by the letters "B" and "C." "• • ' - Table I Difficulty of the Sixteen Words Expressed in Per Cent of Students Mispelling Each Word. After a month of intense work;; and patient practice the Drama clubs finally enters into the nome stretch^ and will have a play in its complete form ready for public presentation next Thursday and Friday nights. The drama will be given in the Nor-'; mal auditorium and general admission will be fifty, cents. Normal activity tickets admit to unreserved section, but 25c will be charged for the reserved section. "The Whiteheaded Boy," with its> own unique action, rich humor, arid • genuine everyday people is enough.' in itself to appeal to t he audience; but under the fine direction of Mr; Hoppe, who has worked out every situation so that it goes over and is made clear, the play should be a huge success. Stickney Has Lead Don Stickney carries the l e a d en the character of Denis Geohegari, the whiteheaded boy, the prodigal son, and in t he opinion of his broth-; ers and sisters, everything that stands for a lazy, shiftless, spend-* thrift. Denis just hasn't had^.a; chance, but as t h e action advances he develops into quite an exceptional young man. The play has no direct feminine lead, but Mary McDonald, in the character role of the very positive Aunt Ellen, and Chloris Fisher, as the mother who thinks her Denis is no less than "an angel . from hiven," have outstanding parts. The rehearsals have furnished much'pleasure for both cast and director. A great source of amuse-; ment came from the earrifest efforts to produce and retain an Irish ; brogue. After a character's firria deT cision to say "owld" he would give a few lines then in the interest of acting, lapse back to the English;' speech. A clever piece of comedy is shown when one of the Geohegan boys sits on the top steps of the i (Continued on Page Six) • A B C Total Minimum .:. 13.0 14.4 13.5 13.6 Annum ........ ... 13.0" 13.2 21.2 15.9 Psychology .. ...26.1 7.4 11.0 16.1 Technical .... ...20.0 12.5 14.5 16.1 Pneumonia .. - 161 16.0 18.0 16,5 (Continued on Page Two) CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m., Rec. hour.
