The Viking Vodvil is a tradition of the school, and is one of the big events of the.year. Unusual interest was exhibited this year in preparing club and independent acts* In the try-outs fourteen acts were presented for the approval of. those who chose the best eight. Harry" Dawson" has" agreed to give a dinner for the members of the best; act. . • The bill is as follows. The order of appearance has not yet been disclosed. 8 Stupenduous Acts 8 Old Maid's Convention or Twenty Years After (Alkisiah Club). This act uses very extensive properties including all manner of livestock. Old costumes are used very effectively with a variety of songs. Wooden Soldier Revue (Ohiyesa Club.) A novel dance extravaganza, with carefully arranged musical scores, will be presented by "Ten under Twenty." This promises to be one of the high lights of the evening. Oriental Talent. Mystic Act (Social Science). The best talent of the Orient has been imported for this act of mystifying marvel. The chief mystifyer will be ably assisted by members of the club who do things which are, to say the least, very unexplainable. Questions of present and future will be freely answered.

Women's League meeting in regular Assembly. FRIDAY—May 14. Normal Drama Club will present a play, "Lonesomelike", a comedy of Lancerstershire, England, by Harold Brighouse. TULIP SHOW IN TOWN; PARADE THIS AFTERNOON; GENERAL RULE IS EVERYBODY ENJOY HIMSELF Tulip time in Bellingham—Hot Dog! Along with a lot of good, juicy weather arrives the time for tulips, (real and otherwise) shows, queens, carnivals, pageants, and lots of pretty girls. It is an institution that inevitably brings every form of life under its influence. Even a Normal School must succumb to its seducing powers—a situation which is most distressing for, if I am informed correctly,, there .will, be • no .school this afternoon. Now, be careful, boys 'and girls, that you don't get in the way.of; the parade. Traffic regulations will be enforced in the,realm- of Queen Elizabeth, and tlie jails must be filled some way. Keep your hand on your pocketbook always, and don't get your feet wet at the carnival. Don't forget to cheer for the mayor when lie passes. Boys! ''Hats off' the flag is passing by." Girls! Don't let the clown vamp you. ; What is troubling most students is that they have already used up their cuts. Wouldn't it be a splendid thing, if we could be allowed an extra cut this quarter? But there are graver issues at stake. How can a person attend the Coronation Ball, two or three baseball games, see the pageant and take in the carnival, and still have money left over to pay the room rent ? " !This is a problem that cannot be fully understood. Neither can we understand Lioyd Mabon who can win two blankets on the opening night of the show. In summary, I should like to say all is well that ends well. If only the; turkey-buzzards can be kept from roosting on the power fines! ANNOUNCE PROGRAM FOR COMMENCEMENT Graduation Exercises June 10; Reception at Edens Hall and Play Given by Drama Club. The program for Commencement Week, which is from June 6th to 11th, lias recently been announced. Sunday, June 6th at 3 p. m., in the auditorium, Rev. W. D.

Tuesday evening, June 8th, the Normal Drarma Club will present the play "Minick," which is now being rehearsed under the direction of Mr. Hoppe. The class day exercises will be held in the auditorium on Wednesday evening of the same week after which the class numerals will be placed in the sidewalks. Graduation exercises will be held Thursday morning, June 10th, at 10 o'clock, in the auditorium. The commencement address will be given by President Norman F. Coleman, of Reed College, after which diplomas will be .presented to about 250 students. By "Smilin' Bob" Spring supplement, greetings!

May Ninth is Observed Throughout the Nation In Honor of Mothers This Sunday, May 9, is a day that has been set aside to be observed throughout the country in honor of the nation's mothers. "Mother's Day", is designed to renew in the mind the ties of memory that are always'. associated with" the term. It is not merely a day on which flowers may be sent to a female parent, but rather, it is a day on which opportunity is given to participate in real, wholesome-devotion. ''Mother's Day' 'is observed in a variety of ways in the United States. In some places programs are prepared in which different individuals make short talks, or give readings, or sing appropriate songs. In some communities programs are given in connection with "teas" and "dinners." In all cases it is the mothers of the land that are honored. It is their day. The program is for their approval. There are also numerous ways of individually expressing love and •gratitude for mother. A bouquet of flowers will reveal more to her than a volume of words or silence. Greeting cards are mailed or telegrams sent to the old home bearing its missive of maternal appreciation. Or, better still, many personal visits are made to the homes of parents on "Mother's Day"; thus they make known to her by their presence the filial love which is due to her. "Mother's Day" does not mean that there is but one day in the .year when ajjpreciation for home ties may be practiced. It is simply a day on which 217 latent interest "of tlie individual's parental relationships may be stimulated. 0 MR. BATES RENDERS PLEASING PROGRAM Walter Bates, who sang in assembly this, morning, gave a pleasing program which delighted his audience. Mr. Bates came with a worth-while record as the Victorian Times attests in a review, saying: "He stamped himself as a singer to be reckoned with and a worth-while artist his is more than a splendid voice. . . . a rare vocal organ. . he is a singer with a voice, who sings and besides the ability to sing he possesses in an eminent degree all the attributes which go to make a finished artist" o TALKS SPONSORED BY HONOR SOCIETY New Members to be Welcomed by Normal Scholarship Society at Meeting in Future. At a recent meeting of the Scholarship Society the following were voted in because of their high scholastic standings: Harold Hill, Irene Hagen. Eunice Balch, Alice Parkins, and Alice Theodorsen. These new members are to be welcomed into the society at a meeting planned for the near future. The society has been sponsoring a series of meetings for the purpose of helping students to keep abreast of the times when they leave school and go out to teach. The first of these meetings was a talk by Mr. Fowler on "How to Keep Alive Through Literature." The large number of students who took advantage of this opportunity agreed that the information and help that he gave would be a great help to them in later life. The second of the series was led by Miss Sundquist on "How to Keep Up to the Times Through Science." This talk was greatly enjoyed by all those who attended. Another of these lectures will be held soon to which all the student body is invited to attend. T LIGHTS OF DISTRICT WILL VIE FOR HIGHER ATHLETIC STANDI IN CINDER TRACK CLASSIC TOMORROW Much Competition Is Promised As Huge Aggregation Of Local Talent Assembles On Waldo Field. Whatcom and Mt. Vernon High School Performers Demonstrate Considerable Ability. EVENT WILL DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY TO STATE MEET School With Winning Team Will Receive Two Large Silver-Loving Cups; One For Permanent Possession, The Other To-Be Held Until Taken By Successful Team Next Year. Saturday afternoon, May. 8th, at 1:45 o'clock, on Waldo Field, track enthusiasts will have the opportunity to see. one of the best high school track meets in "Washington. Coach Sam Carver is managing the meet and lie announces that the events will start on time. Seventeen teams of the Northwest District have sent in their entries. Only athletes who have succeeded in placing first, or second in county meets are eligible to compete in the district meet. With such arrangements track fans can look forward to some keen competition. Milton Meek, star Whatcom High* School miler, will have the chance to extend himself Saturday, when he meets Stanley Sargent, from Mt. Vernon. Both athletes have made the distance under 4:50 with ease, and should show some real class when pushed. Paul Jessup, Whatcom's giant athlete, should have little trouble in copping the discus. Jessup has been hurling the platter 120 feet, consistently and should do better in conference competition. The big boy will perhaps break the state record this year when he goes to the state meet at Pullman. SPORTS OF WOMEN DEVELOP GREATLY Sports for All Seasons, With Competent Coaches; Major Sport Is Made of Swimming. The athletic turnout for girls at the Bellingham Normal, during the season of 1925-26, has reached ideal condition in considering the true motive for sports in school life. Instead of a small superior grovip competing for places on a squad from the first of the season an intra-mural schedule is arranged so that every girl is given a chance to play even if not showing superior ability.. In this way all those who ar&dinterested in the different sports are given a chance not only to learn the game, but also develop a real spirit of cooperation through playing on one of the teams competing in the schedule. About forty-five gh'ls responded to the first call for hockey turnout in the fall quarter. The number enabled each class to have two teams, one alternating with the other. After a time of team practice the inter-class games were played, the Frosh winning the series. Miss Skalley, who coached the two teams, said, in telling of the type of playing, that she had rarely seen such a high grade of team work and skill displayed in any team. Other Sports Represented. The other sport for the fall quarter was volley-ball, coached by Miss Frank. The number responding to the call for this sport made it possible to have four teams, two taking (Continued on Page Four) Law, Everett's star sprint man, will find some trouble in outclassing Cox from Ferndale. Cox won the 100-yard dash in the county meet, the time being 10.2 seconds, which is mighty good time. Law has been caught in about the same time on several occasions. Field Events Good. Kolb, shot putter from Whatcom, heaved the shot 44 feet, 7 inches, in the county meet. Rude of Everett, won from the Whatcom lad in a dual meet with a throw of about the same distance, so fans may look to see the shot heaved out about 45 or 46 feet. From the seventeen schools, seventy- five athletes will strive to their utmost to increase the athletic standing of their school. Two silver loving cups will be presented to the winning team; one for permanent possession, the other to be held until taken by the winning team the year following. Aside from the cups, three medals will be given to the three individual high point winners of the meet. A banquet will be given at Edens Hall in the evening for the contestants and coaches; at which time the cups and medals will be presented. REPORTERS BREATHE SIGH OF RELIEF AND ACT LIKE HUMAN BEINGS AGAIN; FINISH BIG JOB "The tumult and the shouting dies," pencils fall from the weary fingers of the reporters and "Parsimonious" Arestad in triumph carries the last headline to the printer. The Spring Supplement has been written! In the Messenger Office the scarred and battered tables bear mute testimony to the fact that innumerable problems have been wrestled with, for our Messenger scribes wield their pencils on wood as well as paper. •'Wilson Creek" Sullivan has developed the • practice into a fine art— his pencil traces the grain of wood with unerring accurracy. Meanw Idle that subtle mind is grinding out a great and inspiring thought. A prize of ten cents will be awarded the individual, finding it in the Supplement. All rules of etiquette concerning conduct in public are suspended by the staff when under pressure. Not one.would question the right of El-vina Magill to stride down Holly street without a hat but with ink on her chin, since she. was a reporter carrying a sheaf of belated "copy" to the printing office. The paper must come out on time. Gwendolyn Shakespeare' and Jessie Whitten were excused on the same score. Although Emily Post does not declare the act of resting one's feet on the table one of the niceties of society, Vernon Zachrison studiously observes this traditional feat of journalists and is coaching newer members of the staff in order to improve their form. Henry Durr is beginning to do it with. more nonchalance, "Zac" is (Continued on Page Four)

Along with a lot of good, juicy
weather arrives the time for tulips,
(real and otherwise) shows, queens,
carnivals, pageants, and lots of pretty
girls. It is an institution that
inevitably brings every form of life
under its influence. Even a Normal
School must succumb to its seducing
powers—a situation which is
most distressing for, if I am informed
correctly,, there .will, be • no
.school this afternoon.
Now, be careful, boys 'and girls,
that you don't get in the way.of; the
parade. Traffic regulations will be
enforced in the,realm- of Queen Elizabeth,
and tlie jails must be
filled some way. Keep your hand on
your pocketbook always, and don't
get your feet wet at the carnival.
Don't forget to cheer for the mayor
when lie passes. Boys! ''Hats off'
the flag is passing by." Girls! Don't
let the clown vamp you. ;
What is troubling most students
is that they have already used up
their cuts. Wouldn't it be a splendid
thing, if we could be allowed an
extra cut this quarter?
But there are graver issues at
stake. How can a person attend the
Coronation Ball, two or three baseball
games, see the pageant and take
in the carnival, and still have money
left over to pay the room rent ?
" !This is a problem that cannot be
fully understood. Neither can we
understand Lioyd Mabon who can
win two blankets on the opening
night of the show.
In summary, I should like to say
all is well that ends well. If only
the; turkey-buzzards can be kept from
roosting on the power fines!

Spring supplement, greetings! And folks,
I'm still at it—Believe you me—I have
some rich stuff—on a number of the Coeds—
that I will spring next week—In the
meantime—list'—"Silent" Lee Tyler says

active service—during corn on the cob

to make apologies for. And by
the way, where is up?
