THE WEEKLY MESSENGER Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School Vol. XVI. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1916 No. 10 PLEASE THE STUDENTS The travel "movies" of Sir Douglas Mawson's Antarctic Expedition, shown on the evening of November 2S, proved highly entertaining. Marvelous ' icebergs and snow-fields passed in review, interspersed with rollickingly funny animal scenes and wind-storms of unbelievable velocity. The six reels composed a most unusual entertainment and left with the audience a knowledge of Antarctic regions more vivid than any book could give. American audiences are so "satiated" with "movies" as a rule, that such expressions of interest and wonder as were continually heard from all parts of the auditorium were indeed a tribute to these noteworthy reels. Those of the student body who didn't attend deprived themselves of an evening of rare pleasure. The oratorio, "The Holy City," by Gaul, will be sung Monday evening, Decemer 18, in the Normal auditorium, by a chorus of about eighty voices. The solo parts will be sung by Mes-dames Nash, Colby and Merriman, and by Messrs. Raymond and Van Pelt. Mrs. Florence Fox Thatcher has trained the chorus, while Mme. Engberg is directing the orchestra in the accompaniment work. Miss Lucy Myers will assist at the piano. "The Holy City" is one of the most beautiful of the minor oratorios and is especially appropriate to the Christmas season. The entertainment will be open to the public and no admission will be charged. Considering the talent of the performers and the place of this oratorio in popular favor, this shows a splendid spirit. Previous oratorios under Mrs. Thatcher's efficint management are full assurance of a delightful musical treat. Miss Sperry was unable to meet part of her classes last week thru illness. We were glad to note, however, that she recovered in time to enjoy Thanksgiving vacation and a visit to Seattle. to ^dtsr By W. F. Parish. The twilight shadows deepen into night. As from the west fades out the sunset glow; But still I gaze enraptured at the sight Of thy grand summit with its crown of snow. And as the light fades from thy gleaming crest There comes to me this thought, that long ago The fierce volcanic fires raged in thy breast, And lit the evening sky with crimson glow. But Time, the Healer, laid on thee his spell; Perhaps God whispered to thee, "Peace, be still." As on thy head the healing snowflakes fell The silence came, obedient to His will. So in my heart youth's passionate unrest, I t s fierce desires and its stubborn will Have learned to trust in Him who knows the best, And heed the gentle whisper, "Peace, be still." HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. Friday afternoon, November 24, half of the Freshman class met in the High School gymnasium to learn folk dances. Miss Nickersoii and Miss Scally presented many different steps. At .5 o'clock we marched down to the cafeteria dining room and enjoyed a delightful" sherbet prepared by three of., the Freshman g i r l s . . . . A movement has been set on foot thruout the colleges and normals of the United States to raise money for •foreign students who are held in prison camps in Europe. If any wish to give money for the benefit of these student-soldiers, they may do so at the registrar's office and the amount will be credited to" them.- L MAKES ITS DEBUT When it became known' that the Normal Orchestra would appear during the special Thanksgiving assembly, excitement ran high. It was an event long hoped for and the Normal and High School students crowded the auditorium to overflowing. Three numbers were given. Under Mme. Engberg's skillful leadership, the thirty members worked in perfect har-niony, in spite of the fact that many of the players had never played in an orchestra until three months ago. The beautiful selections greatly pleased the hearers and were heartily applauded. The demand for encores-, at the close was so insistent that the? overture was repeated. The only-complaint heard on the performance was,—"not half, long enough." L PEOPLE LEARN HOW TO PLAY As a last touch to institute activities in Bellingham, Mr. Robert Krohn, supervisor of physical training of Portland, Ore., demonstrated his work in the gymnasium at the Normal for the benefit of those students who had been unable to attend the institute proper. The demonstration was largely attended by students and outside visitors as well. Immediately after arriving, Mr. Krohn gathered a number of the students on the floor and skilfully led them thru games designed for all ages* from primary up. Miss Nachtmann„ of the North Bellingham High School,, assisted at the piano. Mr. Krohn, besides furnishing an excellent example in his carriage on the floor, is most efficient in directing'and stimulating activities. No physical director who has ever demonstrated in Bellingham has been more appreciated or. more warmly praised, and both audience and participants at the Normal (including Dr. Kirkpatrick and Prof. Bever, to say nothing of Mr. Moody) are willing to testify to the pleasure inherent in organized play, as shown by Mr. Krohn. Miss Ida Baker spent Thanksgiving week-end with a ""one-time Normal student Mrs. (Minnie Carver) Kimble, of Florence, "Wash.
