LEAVE CAMPUS 7 A. M. Tomorrow morning, June 28th, the stage leaves the Normal campus headed for Shuksan, where the Twin Lakes Pass climb begins. Seven o'clock in the-morning' is rather early, but to individuals who have previously made the climb the necessity for the start is quite apparent. Approximately forty students are expected to make the climb. Stiff Climb A climb of one foot.is not difficult, but when you put some 3,000 of them in succession the result is extreme fatigue. Twin Lakes Pass is some 5,400 fete in elevation, 2,000 of which is made by stage, the rest being climbed in some seven miles of walking. . To the fisherman the climb is usually worth while, and to the lovers of the great outdoors and beautiful scenery, the climb can't be beaten. The two lakes nestle between two of which, the marvelous Canadian Cascades may be seen. There will be plenty of snow up in the pass, and mountain meadows with their lovely wild flowers will be encountered on the trip. The country is full of wild animal life: deer, bear, wild goats and other types may be seen. Descent Interesting Not only is the descent interesting, but it is also very comfortable to the tired hikers. After being up in the mountains all day, the hikers will be permitted to partake of the finer things of life at Glacier. Ice cream most certainly will be intensely interesting and other delicacies will be likewise appreciated. All in all, everybody must agree that the trip will be well worth while. ' ' Students Will Sail On Yacht Thetis Normal students, will have an opportunity to sail in Puget Sound on the yacht Thetis, when Dr. Carl Erh will take a party of students on a cruise among the Sucia Islands in the Gulf of Georgia. The outing is being arranged by Franklin Lock, for several years a student of the school. "The Sucia Islands are a beautiful group that are out of the regulard\ cruising routes," Franklin Lock declared, "and offer fine opportunities for exploring. Students who have been out on the .Thetis are very enthusiastic about sailing, and most of the trip will be made under canvas, although auxiliary power .is used. whenever the breeze drops down.'? The party will. leave the Pacific American dock at the end of the South Bellingham carline Sunday morning, shortly after nine o'clock. Students are requested, to their own lunches. , '—— -o-—"•'.' •..— Normalites Buy "Diamond Dick*r Considerable interest is evident in literature in this school, and makes itself noticeable in the attention of students in choice of reading matter. "Diamond Dick," "The Love Affairs of Emma," and similar touching captions to other 10-cent thrillers and heart soothers captivated the interest of many hikers when returning from the salmoh-bake. , I t is unkndwn to what extent the^se were purchased or whether the interest was cursory or not, but English department take notice. :> look up the grades of student teWhere and jet your; judgment ^be yourguide.^'^y^'^'v^;-'; -: i: <;:'" t'jf!;:: philosophical; but thuik nothing of lii&MI"' '" "' House Mothers Hold ft Short Business Meeting i At Edehs^Dormitory The Normal Housemothers' Association held a short business meetr ing Thursday in the Clubroom at Edens Hall, with thirty-seven members present. An election of', officers was held, and Mrs. D. Cooper was elected President of the Association, and Mrs. Caroline Edwards was named to act as Secretary for the coming year. ^-Mrs. Mable Moore, retiring President, and Mrs. S. W. CoUett, retiring Secretary, expressed appreciation to the members for their cooperation during the past year. SCIENCE DEPT. TO PROBE HEREDITY Science Instructors to Experiment with Inherited Characteristics of Fruit Flies; Test Is Unusual. Experiments on the inheritance of characteristics in fruit flies are to be carried out in the laboratory of the- Science (department. This has never before been done in the Normal school. The flies are kept in bottles containing banana, at a temperature of 76°. The larvae are fed every 6 weeks. The crysalis are crossed before mature. Those with red eyes are placed in the feeding bottle with those having white eyes. The parents are removed in five days, after which the resulting crysalis are giv-an ether and then placed under the microscope to see how many have red eyes and how many have white. No new experiments, will be tried. To obtain the material for the experiments, Miss", Ruth Piatt- and Miss Ruth Shumway made a trip to the University of British Columbia. The U. has had the supply, which it received from Chicago, only since March. There was no trouble in crossing the line. The classes are making field trips which include peat bogs, natural dry dock, and the mountains. —^—;—o——~ CRAW ELECTED TO BOARD MEMBERSHIP Much interest was shown in the election as there were three other candidates seeking office; namely, William Kelley, Warren Boynton and John Rajala. The election of Evelyn Craw means that the women of the school now; have two representatives from their group, the other woman holding office being Mary MacDonald. James McCleary and Lyle Summers were-elected in last Friday'si assembly to act as student repre-j sentatives to the Board of Control for this quarter. They will fill; the bring positions l^ft vacant by Harold Rich and Art Graverock; who were granted a leave of absence. There were no other candidates for the offices. • •'•'• • - o-———— " FROSH AWARD SILVER SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY TO FUTURE FRESHMAN Class Hope to Establish Tradition to Encourage Entering Students Toward Better Efforts. YEARLY CHANGE OF CUP Next year, according to an an-' nouncement made this week, the Freshman student attaining the highest scholarship record for the year will receive the Scholarship Trophy cup,-which is to be presented by the Freshman bias of 1930, the graduating class of '31. This trophy will go as an award for individual scholarship, intended to encourage entering Freshmen to further intellectual effort. A silver trophy cup was decided upon by the Freshman executive board, instead of cash prizes, which was originally announced because of the permanency and traditional merit of the cup. The trophy will remain in the possession of the winner for one year, and will then be passed on to the winner of the award for the succeeding year. '.'The Freshmen hope to establish with the awarding of the cup a tradition for the school, and . an increased interest in scholastic success of the students," Pelagius Williams,' class advisor, declared. The cup bears the inscription: -Scholarship Trophy Presented by the Class of 1931 ... To a Student of Each .Incoming Freshman Class Who Attains the Highest Degree of Scholarship for the year. > <. The Freshman executive board for the year 1929-30 was: Joe Weth-erby, president; Mary .McDonald, vice president; Allene Armstrong, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Pelagium Williams, class advisor. NORMAL STUDENTS TO GIVE CANTATA Mr. Harold ,B. Smith, chairman of the Music Department, was very enthusiastic over the meeting of the State Music Teachers' Association, held at Spokane, Washington, June 19. Aside from being keenly in- In Tuesday's assembly the stu- structive, the meting furnished, de dents elected Evelyn Craw to act as lightfully entertaining qualities. Mr their representative to the Board of Sjnjth especially voiced his appre Control for; the summer quarter ciation of the appearance on the program of Miss Katherine Wade Smith, Bellingham's own talented Research Bureaui Busyi v' With T^sts Duniig '{[ The Past Few Days The staff of the Research Bureau and their assistants spent most of this week in grading the college aptitude and achievement tests which the students took at the opening of this quarter. The results of these tests will appear shortly and will be given to the students in the form of letter grades. Students will be notified through the main bulletin when the resuits^are ready. ' Dr. Harry V. Masters of the Research department.is giving a course this quarter on the "Improvement of Testing". Approximately twenty-five students have enrolled for the course. CANADIAN TENOR TO APPEAR HERE Walter Bates, Distinguished Singer, To Be Heard In Assembly Tuesday; Bettie Cross, Accompanist. At thefirst assembly of July, Walter'Bates, the distinguished Canadian tenor, assisted by Miss Bettie Cross, talented solo pianiste, will be presented in recital Tuesday morning. '. Press reports of Mr. Bates' prowess as a singer and artist have been very favorable, and he stands out as an example of Canadian achievement in the realmr of song art. He has proved his ability to sing before all classes of people in that a great number of his following are among those who "listen from the heart" rather than from the desire of a trained musical ear. The tenor has made quite a name as a "Meistersinger,". and. is 'alscr noted '• as; a: man of broad culture and a thorough: musician being a performer' at both the piano and organ. . ' Miss Cross is a noted-musician in her own right and has won special applause for her work in the musical field and her sympathetic accompaniments. • °"~—~~— ;• SALMON BAKE WELL ATTENDED TUESDAY There is nothing like baked salmon, saltair, scalloped potatoes, fresh buns with real butter in them, and cookies and coffee. Such a contribution undoubtedly was appreciated by the some one hundred violinist.: She was accompanied on fifty students that hiked out to the BOARD OF CONTROL CONSIDERS KLIPSUN AT FIRST MEETING Applications for Year • Book.

WASHINGTON^STATE NORMAL SGHqoI^BEL^INGHAM; WASHINGTON
INTRODUCTION
V MALE FANS. :
WOMEN'S SPORTS
MELTING POT
—By Catherine Morse—
As a sort of introduction to this
and the forthcoming appearances of
"Nqrmalette" (that is if we are not
requested to curtail our activities
after this issue), we would like to
remark that we are solely to blame
for anything that appears in this
column because we will usually try
to siip it in without the editor's
6 KL: It isn't that we are flying a
red flag, but lacking the superior
intellectual powers of our immediT
ate predecessor and the ability to
"bull" of those who have gone before
him, our extreme youth might
be interpreted as radical and our
girlish impulsiveness as subtly intentional."
. / .
* * « « • -
Another thing we would like understood
and that is in regard to
the abrupt change from "Normal-ite"
to "Normalette". We feel that
there might be some delusion
abroad to the effect that it is the
feminine influence that has brought
about this change to "ette" from
the more virile "ite". Now we would
like it understood that the feminine
influence had nothing to do with
it, but it was the diminished size of
the paper that fostered it.
You know we really don't mind,
.because we feel much more unassuming
as suits our character and
policy so much, better. But don't
forget the wisecrack Kipling made
about the "female of the species".
• * * * *
We rejoice to note that the administration
saw fit to insure the
complete attendance of the Normal
(very normal, in fact) male
population to Tuesday's assembly
by presenting the fourth appearance
this year of Gemma Paglieri.
We are assured that the hearty
bursts of applause which receive
Miss Paglieri's numbers cannot be
due entirely to the great musical
appreciation of the audience.
* tf if «
We are accorded a wealth of
really fine musicians who give the
best they are capable of and before
they are through their program,
they are entertaining only half
their original audience and those
are probably" only staging out of
politeness or for the righteous feeling
they sense for the whole day
afterwards,
Prom the result of the questionnaires
circulated last quarter and
the comment that has been current
so far this quarter, we notice
that there is an abnormal lot of
complaint towards the Viking about
the lack of women's sports featured.
Now, we are not trying to be unreasonable
or anything like that,
but we would like to remark or at
least suggest that the women get
some sports first.
Whereupon if our iritention' was
to be facetious, we might remark
that if the women could not get
their own sports they really should
hot regard the Viking as a matrimonial
bureau—or something.
• : . • , ' # ' * < • • * ' • ' .'
Apropos of nothing, we were interested
in the: philosophy evinced
by Mr. Bell in the class of Interpreters
of Contemporary Thought. As
he was describing a movie in which
'•'the Melting Pot" was featured, in
which peoples of other countries
with their graceful dances and
charming ways: were sent through
the mill and turned; out "Ameri-cans^-

CLIMB TOMORROW
OFFERS HARDSHIPS
Good Fishing, Beautiful Scenery to
be Enjoyed by Students Making
Trip; Stiff Climb Promised.
LEAVE CAMPUS 7 A. M.
Tomorrow morning, June 28th,
the stage leaves the Normal campus
headed for Shuksan, where the
Twin Lakes Pass climb begins. Seven
o'clock in the-morning' is rather
early, but to individuals who have
previously made the climb the necessity
for the start is quite apparent.
Approximately forty students
are expected to make the climb.
Stiff Climb
A climb of one foot.is not difficult,
but when you put some 3,000 of
them in succession the result is extreme
fatigue. Twin Lakes Pass is
some 5,400 fete in elevation, 2,000 of
which is made by stage, the rest
being climbed in some seven miles
of walking. .
To the fisherman the climb is usually
worth while, and to the lovers
of the great outdoors and beautiful
scenery, the climb can't be beaten.
The two lakes nestle between two
of which, the marvelous Canadian
Cascades may be seen. There will
be plenty of snow up in the pass,
and mountain meadows with their
lovely wild flowers will be encountered
on the trip. The country is
full of wild animal life: deer, bear,
wild goats and other types may be
seen.
Descent Interesting
Not only is the descent interesting,
but it is also very comfortable
to the tired hikers. After being up
in the mountains all day, the hikers
will be permitted to partake of the
finer things of life at Glacier. Ice
cream most certainly will be intensely
interesting and other delicacies
will be likewise appreciated.
All in all, everybody must agree
that the trip will be well worth
while. ' '
Students Will Sail
On Yacht Thetis
Normal students, will have an opportunity
to sail in Puget Sound on
the yacht Thetis, when Dr. Carl Erh
will take a party of students on a
cruise among the Sucia Islands in
the Gulf of Georgia. The outing is
being arranged by Franklin Lock,
for several years a student of the
school. "The Sucia Islands are a
beautiful group that are out of the
regulard\ cruising routes," Franklin
Lock declared, "and offer fine opportunities
for exploring. Students
who have been out on the .Thetis
are very enthusiastic about sailing,
and most of the trip will be made
under canvas, although auxiliary
power .is used. whenever the breeze
drops down.'?
The party will. leave the Pacific
American dock at the end of the
South Bellingham carline Sunday
morning, shortly after nine o'clock.

literature in this school, and makes
itself noticeable in the attention of
students in choice of reading matter.
"Diamond Dick," "The Love
Affairs of Emma," and similar
touching captions to other 10-cent
thrillers and heart soothers captivated
the interest of many hikers
when returning from the salmoh-bake.

SCIENCE DEPT. TO
PROBE HEREDITY
Science Instructors to Experiment
with Inherited Characteristics of
Fruit Flies; Test Is Unusual.
Experiments on the inheritance
of characteristics in fruit flies are
to be carried out in the laboratory
of the- Science (department. This
has never before been done in the
Normal school.
The flies are kept in bottles containing
banana, at a temperature of
76°. The larvae are fed every 6
weeks. The crysalis are crossed before
mature. Those with red eyes
are placed in the feeding bottle with
those having white eyes. The parents
are removed in five days, after
which the resulting crysalis are giv-an
ether and then placed under the
microscope to see how many have
red eyes and how many have white.
No new experiments, will be tried.
To obtain the material for the experiments,
Miss", Ruth Piatt- and
Miss Ruth Shumway made a trip to
the University of British Columbia.
The U. has had the supply, which it
received from Chicago, only since
March. There was no trouble in
crossing the line.
The classes are making field trips
which include peat bogs, natural
dry dock, and the mountains.

SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY
TO FUTURE FRESHMAN

to Encourage Entering Students
Toward Better Efforts.
YEARLY CHANGE OF CUP
Next year, according to an an-'
nouncement made this week, the
Freshman student attaining the
highest scholarship record for the
year will receive the Scholarship
Trophy cup,-which is to be presented
by the Freshman bias of 1930,
the graduating class of '31. This
trophy will go as an award for individual
scholarship, intended to
encourage entering Freshmen to
further intellectual effort.
A silver trophy cup was decided
upon by the Freshman executive
board, instead of cash prizes, which
was originally announced because
of the permanency and traditional
merit of the cup. The trophy will
remain in the possession of the
winner for one year, and will then
be passed on to the winner of the
award for the succeeding year.
'.'The Freshmen hope to establish
with the awarding of the cup a tradition
for the school, and . an increased
interest in scholastic success
of the students," Pelagius
Williams,' class advisor, declared.
The cup bears the inscription:
-Scholarship Trophy
Presented by the Class of 1931 ...
