? / Catherine Wade Smith, world fam-
: bus violin player, will , appear in
concert at the regular all-school as­sembly,
Tuesday at .11 o'clock. She
is a Bellingham girl who has earned
ran enviable reputation by continued
priactice. Last June, E. B. Deming,
president of the Pacific American
Fisheries, presented her with a fif­teen
thousand dollar Stradivarius
violin, made in 1755. This violin is
from the Franz Ries's estate, which
possessed three of these violins.: Zim-balist
has one, while the third is
still owned by the estate. Mr. Dem­ing
purchased the violin through Her-nann
of Berlin.
:She started her career when only
six and one-half years of age. In
192(r Leon Sametoni. famous Belgian
Master, sent her to Chicago to study.
'She was in Chicago five years and
in that.time won all her tuition in,
.scholarships and two five hundred
dollar violins. These prizes gave her
$wo appearances; with the Chicago
Symphony at Orchestra Hall, and
since then she. has appeared five more
times with them.
: In 1925 she won the National Fed­eration,
of Music Clubs contest at
Portland, Oregon. This prize gave
her a tour of the United States and
five hundred dollars. As a direct
result of this the National Music
League accepted her as an artist and
handles her management.
During the last year she has made
two Coast to Coast tours and has ap­peared
in 150 concerts. Last year at
a; benefit concert for St. Paul's Epis­copal
church she was presented with
• a one thousand dollar check by the
people of this community.
Canadian Girl
Violinists In
Friday Program
Young Girl Musical Artists Have
Won Acclaim in England and
Before Canadian Audiences.
"Saskatoon can boast of two prod­igies,
Eleanor Agnew and Margaret
Wilson youthful violinists 13 years
of age," said Lyell Gustin, director of
the Musical club of that city.
These two girls who play here the
21st have played before many not­able
musicians both of this country
and England and have received many
laudations from them.
Mr. Thos. F. Dunhill, famous Eng­lish
composer and of the staff of the
Royal College of Music in London,
said that their playing is of "excep­tionally
good vitality, and splendidly
controlled temperamental quality/per­fect
intonation and clear technique."
Mrs. C. D. Mitcfiner, president
Women's Musical Club. Saskatoon,
says: "I have followed the careers
of both girls—they have exceptional
ability that is amazing in children
only beginning their 'teens. A con­cert
by these artists is a musical
event." v
.The girls are pupils of Florence

Women's League
Makes Plans For
Present Quarter
An , informal dance sponsored by
the Women's League will be given
the evening of Noveniber 19 in the
dining room of Edens Hall, for all
women students and their frinds liv-ig
outside the dormitory. This de­cision
was reached at the first fall
meeting of the Women's League
Commission, held in the Dean of
Women's office last Tuesday even­ing,
October 11.
The Women's assembly, to be held
approximately two weks from now,
was made under .discussion, with
'each* committee chairman planning a
stunt to be presented. Dates for
the regular commission meetirigs were
set for every other Thursday
p. m., in the Dean's, office.
Carrie Tucker and Dean Edmund-son
Chosen for One and Four
Quarter Positions on the Board.
H E A V Y V O T E IS C A ST
Professor Bond Also Ran, Return­ing
to Executive Body Seat
Which He Had for Ten Years.
In the regular Students' Associa­tion
election that was held last Tues­day
in assembly, Robert Fisher was
elected president .Dean Edmundson
was elected student representative
to the board of control for four quar­ters.
They were unanimously elect­ed
as a result of being the only ones
attracted to their various offices.
Carrie Tucker was elected student
representative for one quarter by a
slight margin over Joel Gudmund-son.
The various aspirants gave cam­paign
speeches, with the exception of
the Yell Leaders who led the assem­bly
in yells^ This was followed im­mediately
by the election. Each
person deposited his ballot with men
stationed at the doors as he passed
out.
President Fisher was highly pleas­ed
with the fact that nearly 700
people voted in the election.
As Robert Fisher was vice-presi­dent
of the students' association, his
election as president temporarily
vacates the latter position. An elec­tion
for the vice-presidency will take
place soon, as it is necessary to fill
this position as soon as possible.
The; election of Mr. Bond to the
Board ovf Control is rather interesting
as he has been on the Board of Con­trol
for the past ten years. As he
says, "As many times as I have fin­gers
on my two hands."

Work on the Souvenir Football
Programs for Homecoming is getting
well under* way according to those
publishing this year's booklet. The
general features of the book have
been mapped out and the task of com­piling
the material is being started.
Last Wednesday evening the football
squad was forced to undergo the
photographer's wiles, in order that
the pictures from which the cuts are
made could be taken.
This year's programs will be of
similar design to former ones, but
will.j. contain some very new fea­tures
and a different arrangement,
all designed to increase their attrac­tiveness.
They will be slightly larg­er
than last year's, according to
present plans.
These programs are oval shaped,
representing a football. They con­tain
the pictures of all the players
and coaches, and scenes of the two
Normal Schools with a description
and history of each. Besides this
the complete information about each
of the teams is included.
They form a pleasing memo of the
Homecoming Festivities, and in the
past have proved very popular wfth
the students.

WANT TO SEE FROSH
S CAfvlEV HERBS HOW.
The Messenger is turning J it-
Mlf into a depot for the; eon-venience
,of any of the students"
or faculty who may. wish to.'
attend the football games in
Seattle next Saturday. In the
past, a- number of people have
always attended the Normal-
University Frosh game, which
precedes the University rState
College game.
To aid people who. would
care to attend the games and,
who have no means of trans­portation,
as well as people who
have cars and can carry extra
passengers the Messenger will
provide a general exchange and
information depot. Those who
have cars and have room for
more people are asked' to leave
their name, the number of peo­ple
they can take, the time
they will leave here and when
they will leave Seattle, and the
fare they will charge, with the
editor of the Messenger. Those
wishing transportation are
asked to leave similar informa-.
tipn with the same person, or
on his desk in room 205.
In this way it is hoped that
more people will be able to see
the games and that the scheme
will provide an easier way of
finding transportation for them.

TAKING IS SLATED
TO STMT MONDAY
New Plan Is Inaugurated—Photos
to be Taken Free. Grid Squad
and Upperclassmen to be/Shot'.
Pictures of all sophomores, "third,
and fourth year students will be
taken for the Klipsun, beginning
next Monday afternoon, and contin­uing
during the ensuing weeks.
In contrast to former years, the
pictures will be taken free of charge,
with a choice between two views on
a specially chosen back-ground, which
the photographer has been designated
to use solely for the pictures to be
used in the Klipsun. If the student
aesires_"XO~nave—more —pictrtrco -takoii .
with a different back-ground he must
pay a nominal sum for each view
taken.
Students Avho are unable to meet
the appointments that have been
made, for them must eoo-the__editpx
at least a week previous to the date
set. Those who fail to see the editor
and fail to be there at the time spec­ified
will have to pay twenty-five
cents before their pictures will appear
in the Klipsun.
Nothing is quite as big a flop as
a school annual that does not appear
on_ time. In order to assure the
student body that the Klipsun will
be out on "time, sophomores, juniors,
and seniors must check up with the
list on the bulletin board and re­member
their appointments. Con­trary
to the common superstition,
the Klipsun is not a job for the
spring quarter. It is ah all-year job,
with action every moment. Football
pictures are being taken at the pres­ent
time, campus views will be t&ken
in the near future, and it.is hoped
that the students will co-operate in
the work of putting out a bigger
and better yearbook. -

Miss Madden Coaches This Year's
Squad. Preliminary Trials Are
to be Held in Near Future.
With the choosing of the Normal
debate team but a little over a
month away some of.the students
and many of the clubs are making
preparations to show their ability in
a mental and verbal way.
The debate team this year is to
be chosen from the school at large;
anyone being eligible to try out. As
a. rule in the past the clubs have
taken up the question of debate and
have chosen teams from their own
members. These - teams have held
inter-club debates and the Normal
team who debates with outside
schools was generally the pick of
these club teams.
Question Not Decided
The debate question for this year
has not as yet been decided upon
and until the final tryouts come in
December, little actual work on this
year's subject can be done.
Miss Madden, coach of the debate
squad, predicts a good turnout. She
says that there is a lot of new and
experienced material which comes in
from the various high schools which
ought to place Normal in line for a
strong debate squad for this year.
On their first road trip of the;;
year and in, the initial tri-Normal;
contest of the 1927 season, :•. Coach
Carver's Vikings; will engage the
Cheney Normal footballers tomorrow
afternoon at Cheney. The Normal
squad of twenty men. Coach Carver,
Assistant Coach Jewell, and Man-;;
ager Durr' left Bellingham Thursday
noon and is expected to arrive in
Cheney sometime .•; today. ; .'r.: y
While unwilling to make iany'pre-.
diction as to the outcome "of; the
game, Coach Carver stated before he
left that in his opinion, Bellingham
should win, although the long trip,
the strange field, and bad weather
conditions must be taken into con-;;
sideration. ' ' - ;x; *
Normal, according to last week's;
showing against, the West Seattle;
A. C. has a strong team which will
develop as the season goes on." Chen­ey
is known to be weak,ras a 27-0;
defeat by Whitman and a 74-0 count!,
dealt by Gonzaga indicate,, and so.
a Bellingham victory seems reason­ably
secure.
Last fall, the Savages were downed
here at Bellingham 9-3 by a Viking
team probably inferior to this year's.
However, two years ago at Cheney,
the local boys came out on the short
end of a 47-3 score.
Viking's Lineup Strong.
Don Stickney and Frank Geri, cen­ters,
are still putting up a stiff fight
for the snapper-back position,, with'
honors about even and tomorrow's
starter is in doubt; " ;;
"Winny" Iverson and Ed^Hyde are-doped
to hold down the guards' jobs^
with Dean Edmundson a . possible;
sub ~for Hyde. Coach Carver wilK
have four big and hefty tackles who
will be towers of. strength in the line,?
to shove into the fray, i n / ' ' B i lP
Wanamaker, Newt Chamberlain, Har­vey
Molyneaux, and Don Poorman.
