Summer Bulletin for
Prospective Students
Ready to be Sent Out
Hikers to Start up Mt. Consti­tution
I^edia^
Reaching Olga; Trip 15 Mi.
(Continued on Page"'Two)
A munber of attractive booklets
containing information and an­nouncements
pertaining to the sum­mer
quarter have recently been pre­pared
by the-Bellingham State Nor­mal
for distribution among prospec­tive
students.
The customary booklet announcing
the faculty and courses of study for
the summer quarter, as well as gen­eral
information concerning registra­tion
expenses and requirements for
graduation is one of those which
may be had by applying to the of­fice
of the president.
The summer session at the Friday
Harbor Biological Station jointly
sponsored by the Bellingham Normal
School and the University of. Wash­ington,
is described in detail through,
a special booklet illustrated and
provided with information concern­ing
expenses, necessary supplies,
sailing sched\iles, and courses of
study.
The National Camp Fire Training
course offered this summer at Camp
Samish is described inanother book­let
which gives the program of the
training course, the staff, and infor­mation
about expenses, registration,
and transportation.
An eight-page pamphlet illustrated
with scenic views is devoted to the
recreation program for tffe*-summer*
of 1926. Points of interest in the:
surrounding region are described and
a schedule'of trips and hikes for ev­enings,,
as well as Saturdays and:
week-ends, is given.
A sufficent number have signed
for the trip to Mt. Constitution on
May 272, so the Islander can be char­tered.
The boat will leave at seven
sharp "instead of seven-thirty, as was
previously announced, in order that
the climb may be more easily made.
The hikers will start up Mt. Con­stitution
immediately upon Janding
at Olga; this trip which includes re­turning
by way of East Sound, is
about fifteen miles long, but is not
at all difficult climbing. The boat
will leave Olga at twelve and-go to
East Sound, where the rest of the
day will be spent, and anyone not
wishing to climb may stay at Olga
and East Sound. If sufficient in­terest
is shown another group may
hike directly from Olga to East
Sound, stopping for a short time
at: Cascade lake. .This hike would
be eight miles.
Trip Requirements.
Ordinary hiking clothes will be
worn and two lunches will be taken,
one.to be eaten on the trail and the
other in the evening. Cups and
spoons must not be forgotten either.
Candy, ice cream and cocoa will be
sold on the boat and anyone want­ing
candy for the trip is asked to
buy it on the boat letting the profit
go to the W. A. A. The^ boat will
leave East Sound at five or a little
sooner and everyone should be with­in
sound of the boat's whistle at
four o'clock, in order that i t may
leave as soon as the hikers arrive.
Tickets will be on sale Wednesday
afternoon, Thursday and Friday.
Round trip tickets are one dollar.

The joint committee representing
the Normal School and the Women's
Music Club, selected the following
course of Musical Artists for next
year. Those present at the commit­tee
meeting representing ' t h e Wo­men's
Club, were Mrs. William Davis,
president of the club; Mrs. William
Gardiner, chairman; Mrs. J. J. Don-ozan,
and Miss Edith Strange. Rep­resenting
the Normal School were
President C. H. Fisher, H. C. Philip-pi,
chaimran; Maude M. Slawson,
Victor H. Hoppe, and Harold B.
Smith. '
The course for next year will con­sist
of five numbers instead of six,
as has been the case ih former years.
The number of attractions has been
reduced because of the high price that
is being paid for two of the num­bers.
The first number, which will be
given some time in November, is the
Russian Symphonic Choir, which is
really a body of solo singers joined
together under the able leadership of
a master musician, Basile Kibalchich,
director. The choir is made up of
twenty-two voices, eleven. of whom
are men and eleven women. The
choir represents a new form of vocal
ensemble. The director has taken
the Symphony Orchestra as a model
and has given each voice of his choir
the same value as each instrument
has in the modern orchestra. A fea­ture
of the appeal which this unique
organization makes is that the mem­bers
appear in picturesque Russian
costume. :

American Civil War1 heroes will be
honored on Monday, May 31, this
year, since Memorial Day falls on
Sunday." oMnday. will, therefore, be
a general school holiday. "
•, The 30th of May has been ob­served
throughout the northern
states ever since 1868, when John_A.
Logan,-commander-in-Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, issued
a general order designating it "for
the purpose of strewing with flowers
or otherwise .decorating the graves
of comrades who died in t h e late re­bellion.
Logan did this with the-hope
that it would be continued from
year to year. Later the Grand Army
urged that the proper name for May
30 is Memorial Day—not Decora­tion
Day.
Rhode Island was the first state
to make it a legal holiday. The rest
of the states of the union have fol­lowed
her example except a few
southern states Who have legalized
other days for the purpose of honor­ing
Confederate soldiers.

"The Chuckanut Marathon is in­definitely
postponed on account of
weather conditions." This statement
was made by George Allez/student
body president last Tuesday.
Other causes also influence the
postponement of the race. "Due to
the fact that the week-ends of the
next two of three weeks are dated
up, I doubt whether it will be less
than three weeks before the race is
run," said Mr. Allez. Many picnics
and week-end parties are on the list
of coming events for pleasure seekers
in the absence of the Chuckanut
race. " "
Further announcements will appear
as soon as possible regarding the
date to be set by the committee in-charge.
