"Two jolly young Gondoliers are married during a public celebration, but a short time afterwards are notified by the GrandVInquisitor of Venice that one of them is the King of Barataria, and that both of them must go to Barataria. In the meantime, the old duke of Plazo-Toro, a grandee of Spain, comes to Venice with his attendant, Luis, his wife, the Duchess, and his beautiful daughter, Casilda.

ROY CHAPMAN ANDREWS D O Y CHAPMAN ANDREWS found thrills and absorbing adventure in •** far-off Mongolia, seeking the bones of primitive man. Last year he astonished the scientific world and the world at large by finding the first dinosaur eggs, estimated at from eight to ten million years old. Andrews heads the third Asiatic Expedition, his party consisting of forty-one men, seven motor cars and one hundred forty-three camels. Remarkable scientific findings have been made and Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romance in remarkably fine motion and still pictures which^will be shown during his lecture here, t " .

He will lecture to the students at three o'clock in the afternoon and to the general public in the evening. Mr. Andrews has returned to America to tell his own personal experiences of the famous expedition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural History^ in cooperation -with the American Asiatic Association and the magazine, 'Asia." In addition to his personal story, he. is bringing; thousands of feet of motion picture film, which will be shown for the first time with his lectures. Hot Races Expected "Imagine the quest of the real 'Golden Fleece' of China,—the rare and beautiful golden 'takin', monarch of Mongolia's highest peaks, brought down by Mr. Andrews' rifle after days of disheartening hunt. Imagine a race.between a modern auto and the wild ass of, the Gobi desert—a thirty-mile pursuit while the speed-: oraeter registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine quaint Mongol villages of shepherds and their families, watching with half-startled, inquisitive . eyes the queer white man and the even stranger maclrfnes that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their warnings in no uncertain language. A pardrama of Life—such as it is in this out-of-the-way corner of the world—shoppers, peasants, roving brigands, Lamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched to.carts, caihel.trains of desert traders—so .'primitive, i t . ail seems that one cannot help but feel that the rocks of Asia should be the natural tomb of the oldest man." Andrews Has Caught Spirit. Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romantic adventure that goes hand in hand with such an enterprise both'in his own story and in his pictures, He turned back the clock a few million years and found hidden away in the rock strata the eggs and fossils of dinosaurs that lived, when the .world was in its infancy; he unearthed the skull, of the Baluchithirium, the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. . . I n the Expedition, which has been under way more than four years, Mr. Andrews has combined the,most modern inventions with the old. The success, of the. venture has depended upon the automobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. A plan for a new Washington State. Board of Education was proposed by President. C. H. Fisher in an address before the Forum1, an organization of the faculty," at Edens Hall, Monday evening, Feb. 14, following the regular monthly dinner of the club. According to-his plan the board should consist of seven.laymen, appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, each One serving a term of seven years. One member should be appointed from each of the congressional districts, and two appointed at large. This would avoid "getting, too many representatives from one section and would bring together the different representatives with their varied interests. President Fisher said that the powers and duties of the boards would be those of the present state board of education together with the powers and duties of the joint board of higher: curricula which -was abolished in 1925. The board would also have power over budgets of the five higher institutions/ The institutions would retain boards of regents and trustees and woujd he^expected to work with the stateooard of education. According' to President Fisher the present law provides for annual meetings of joint boards of trustees of the three Normal school, which meetings help in working out the policies of the different institutions. He would also provide for similar meetings of the boards of regents of the. State ' College and Jhe University. The present state board of education of Washington consists of sev-: en educators." There is; a growing tendency throughout' the . United States toward a board of nine laymen, which plan is advocated by Governor Hartley at the present time. According to Pi*esideht Fisher this really applies the city administration of education to the state. The state superintendent would be" chosen by the board within or without the. state; he would be an executive and secretary of the board. but not a member. , President Fisher discussed the 'different types of state boards throughout the United States, six types in all, showing the lack .of uniformity in state boards of education. • > Normal Team Faces Hard Battle at Whatcom Gym, with Odell Out and New Lineup Necessary CLUB ORGANIZED ROTHSCHILDS STRONG Leaders of Seattle City League Have Won Eleven out of Twelve Games, Expect Another Win. A new organization -known as the Girl Scouts was Organized Monday, February 7, in Room 203. • A demand for such an organization has been felt in this school for some time. The primary, aim of the course is to cultivate leadership in . Girl Scout Troops and Methods of Conducting Scout Meetings. This gives "the girls an opportunity to become acquainted with the* work and. organize, it from the sponsor's viewpoint. Miss Dilley, reference librarian, has been selected as the Girl Scout sponsor. The following have been elected officers: Chairman, .""Mildred White; secretary-treasurer, Vivian Tubbs; scribe, Geneva Rickard. Minus the services of Ray Odell,: star forward, the Viking basketeers run. up against a team doped as the equal of almost any university in the Northwe&t-rthe Rothschilds Stevedores— tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock on the Whatcom High floor. • The Vikings, with a record of nine games won and but one lost,' made against some of the best minor colleges in Washington, have their best basketball squad in years. Regardless of the loss .of Odell, who is out with influenza, they still have a line-up capable.of stopping all but the very best of opponents. In Lyman Stick-ney and Art Isaacson, there are two of the best guards to be seen .often in action, while Jensen at center, is at all times a dangerous, scoring threat, because of his ability to'ring up long field goals-and tricky, left-handed short shots. As Odell's running mate all season, Earl Keplinger has proved the most aggressive man on the local team, as well as holding his own in scoring.,. Lineup Wot Definite Coach Carver has not yet anhbunc?- ed who will start in; the other ;forr ward position, but Jack Harper, who has been on the bench all year—will probably get the call. However, one ' of the guards, either Stickney or Benson, may be shifted to take Odell's place. Rothschilds Have Many Stars. The Rothschilds outfit has individually, the strongest line-up ever gathered together in this part of, the country. Three former Washington captains are just a part of this won-. derful collection of former college and university stars. It is at .present far in the lead in the Seattle City league, having won eleven games out of twelve; In addition, it has dropped games to Washington -jind Idaho by less than five points. Rothschilds Powerful -f:' In the forward positions, the Steve-doves have DiCk Frayne. and Bob We will now sing hymn number 174^-That is the way the Monday assembly started five or six years ago. - Some of the old grads who are back in the institution this quarter can surely tell some memoirs'about the assemblies they used to sit through; When you ask them if they enjoyed the assemblies they'll answer very emphatically, "No," and if you happen to ask a man, he will use the same, word with probably a few decorations. Of course if the man happens to be a member of the fa'c-u I t £ ; (We have a couple of old grade on the faculty), he will just use English: as Mr. ;FowIer uses! it. iWpuIdn't youJove to attend a*-;. sembly three t imes a week? Monday >, Wedne'sday Xnd Friday?. Monday's assembly was best. Ev- j eryone enjoyed that, as the feature •of the gathering was responsive reading. Everyone joined in this: event and the men vied with one another in putting real feeling into it. The girls naturally took a back seat in this. They had to. The men made so much noise that it was useless for them to strain their vocal chords. This was usually followed by more hymns and after that some more of them. The close of the fifty minute "anguish scene" (you'd' have thought so if you could .have seen.their facr es) found each and every Normal stu-" dent off on the; right foot for the week. Any who had "back-slid" over the week end by ;goihg: to a dance, found a great, deal of comfbrtr in this stupendous Monday attraction.

He will lecture to the students at three o'clock in the afternoon and to the general public in the evening. Mr. Andrews has returned to America to tell his own personal experiences of the famous expedition which he heads for the American Museum of Natural History^ in cooperation -with the American Asiatic Association and the magazine, 'Asia." In addition to his personal story, he. is bringing; thousands of feet of motion picture film, which will be shown for the first time with his lectures. Hot Races Expected "Imagine the quest of the real 'Golden Fleece' of China,—the rare and beautiful golden 'takin', monarch of Mongolia's highest peaks, brought down by Mr. Andrews' rifle after days of disheartening hunt. Imagine a race.between a modern auto and the wild ass of, the Gobi desert—a thirty-mile pursuit while the speed-: oraeter registered thirty-five miles per hour at times. Imagine quaint Mongol villages of shepherds and their families, watching with half-startled, inquisitive . eyes the queer white man and the even stranger maclrfnes that carried them, while the ferocious Mongol dogs growled their warnings in no uncertain language. A pardrama of Life—such as it is in this out-of-the-way corner of the world—shoppers, peasants, roving brigands, Lamas, prayer wheels, innumerable road shrines, yaks hitched to.carts, caihel.trains of desert traders—so .'primitive, i t . ail seems that one cannot help but feel that the rocks of Asia should be the natural tomb of the oldest man." Andrews Has Caught Spirit. Mr. Andrews has caught the spirit of romantic adventure that goes hand in hand with such an enterprise both'in his own story and in his pictures, He turned back the clock a few million years and found hidden away in the rock strata the eggs and fossils of dinosaurs that lived, when the .world was in its infancy; he unearthed the skull, of the Baluchithirium, the largest mammal that ever trod the earth. . . I n the Expedition, which has been under way more than four years, Mr. Andrews has combined the,most modern inventions with the old. The success, of the. venture has depended upon the automobile and camera as well as upon many men and camels. A plan for a new Washington State. Board of Education was proposed by President. C. H. Fisher in an address before the Forum1, an organization of the faculty," at Edens Hall, Monday evening, Feb. 14, following the regular monthly dinner of the club. According to-his plan the board should consist of seven.laymen, appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, each One serving a term of seven years. One member should be appointed from each of the congressional districts, and two appointed at large. This would avoid "getting, too many representatives from one section and would bring together the different representatives with their varied interests. President Fisher said that the powers and duties of the boards would be those of the present state board of education together with the powers and duties of the joint board of higher: curricula which -was abolished in 1925. The board would also have power over budgets of the five higher institutions/ The institutions would retain boards of regents and trustees and woujd he^expected to work with the stateooard of education. According' to President Fisher the present law provides for annual meetings of joint boards of trustees of the three Normal school, which meetings help in working out the policies of the different institutions. He would also provide for similar meetings of the boards of regents of the. State ' College and Jhe University. The present state board of education of Washington consists of sev-: en educators." There is; a growing tendency throughout' the . United States toward a board of nine laymen, which plan is advocated by Governor Hartley at the present time. According to Pi*esideht Fisher this really applies the city administration of education to the state. The state superintendent would be" chosen by the board within or without the. state; he would be an executive and secretary of the board. but not a member. , President Fisher discussed the 'different types of state boards throughout the United States, six types in all, showing the lack .of uniformity in state boards of education. • > Normal Team Faces Hard Battle at Whatcom Gym, with Odell Out and New Lineup Necessary CLUB ORGANIZED ROTHSCHILDS STRONG Leaders of Seattle City League Have Won Eleven out of Twelve Games, Expect Another Win. A new organization -known as the Girl Scouts was Organized Monday, February 7, in Room 203. • A demand for such an organization has been felt in this school for some time. The primary, aim of the course is to cultivate leadership in . Girl Scout Troops and Methods of Conducting Scout Meetings. This gives "the girls an opportunity to become acquainted with the* work and. organize, it from the sponsor's viewpoint. Miss Dilley, reference librarian, has been selected as the Girl Scout sponsor. The following have been elected officers: Chairman, .""Mildred White; secretary-treasurer, Vivian Tubbs; scribe, Geneva Rickard. Minus the services of Ray Odell,: star forward, the Viking basketeers run. up against a team doped as the equal of almost any university in the Northwe&t-rthe Rothschilds Stevedores— tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock on the Whatcom High floor. • The Vikings, with a record of nine games won and but one lost,' made against some of the best minor colleges in Washington, have their best basketball squad in years. Regardless of the loss .of Odell, who is out with influenza, they still have a line-up capable.of stopping all but the very best of opponents. In Lyman Stick-ney and Art Isaacson, there are two of the best guards to be seen .often in action, while Jensen at center, is at all times a dangerous, scoring threat, because of his ability to'ring up long field goals-and tricky, left-handed short shots. As Odell's running mate all season, Earl Keplinger has proved the most aggressive man on the local team, as well as holding his own in scoring.,. Lineup Wot Definite Coach Carver has not yet anhbunc?- ed who will start in; the other ;forr ward position, but Jack Harper, who has been on the bench all year—will probably get the call. However, one ' of the guards, either Stickney or Benson, may be shifted to take Odell's place. Rothschilds Have Many Stars. The Rothschilds outfit has individually, the strongest line-up ever gathered together in this part of, the country. Three former Washington captains are just a part of this won-. derful collection of former college and university stars. It is at .present far in the lead in the Seattle City league, having won eleven games out of twelve; In addition, it has dropped games to Washington -jind Idaho by less than five points.

Of course if the man happens to be a member of the fa'c-u I t £ ; (We have a couple of old grade on the faculty), he will just use English: as Mr. ;FowIer uses! it. iWpuIdn't youJove to attend a*-;. sembly three t imes a week?

The men made so much noise that it was useless for them to strain their vocal chords. This was usually followed by more hymns and after that some more of them.
