^^^SS^SPlP^SigipPpiSSiWil' A *»\ Welcome High Girls To WWC; This Is Tour Day ^ y e the Time of Tonrlife It's on Us WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 6, 193$ Couple Win Musical Honors By Hank Francis It's all here .'. . ,and nothing has been done about it yet. The trees are getting greener and the grass is too, except for the long brown rows of hay that are left behind the mowing machine. We might advocate a grass catcher but it's so obvious someone must have thought of it long ago. Since it isn't being used there must be some reason. Hope nobody has any foolish ideas about fertilizer. Mother's Day . . . this Sunday brings on a small at tack of nostalgia, especially when the pockelbook is on such a rigorous diet. She is probably well rewarded, though by our being away and not kicking around underfoot. There wont be nearly so many dishes to wash after dinner Sunday or clothes to pick up. With a special . . • train and all the trimmings, Reichs-fuehrer Hitler has gone to visit n Duce, in Rome. Its only a friendly visit designed to repay Mussolini for his neighborly little call on the German capitol last year. Friendly or not, in our neighborhood it was a good idea to watch out when the two big shots got together. We would either run home to the comparative safety of Mama's kitchen or walk down the street with our big brothers. Getting closer all . • • the time is the big event of the year. Campus Day. Everyone is working feverishly to get his particular little job finished on time. Following a long established precedent, it looks as though we will be ready for Campus day on Campus day. The swimmers have ventured forth to enter the competition When the big day comes they ought to put up a good show. If it isn't tiie usual Campus day weather of rata or snow. About five clubs . . . and houses have organized crew teams for the boat races. The Valkyries are the latest contestants to bid for the blistered hand. They'll have to build a lot of brawn in their competition if the latest rumor is true. Half the girls are going to wear slacks on the club cruise next month so the other half won't have to invite boys. In fact they can't invite boys which means somebody is going to have a lot of work to do. The faculty has chosen . . . the Viking Manor, intramural soft-ball champs, as the team against whom they will pit brain and brawn in the annual Softball battle. If the Manor boys break that time-honored custom of taking a trouncing at the hands of the Profs, anything is liable to happen. They probably wont gel beat though because true champions don't play ball for grades. t i t t l e Women" opened . . . at the Theatre Guild Wednesday night to a full house. It's a good play and has some good actors. And some actors. the Guild Playhouse used to be a mortuary in the good old days. A couple of the actors didn't seem to be aware of the transformation. If s stfll a tfood . . . play and many a he-man wiped a tear from his eye at the end of the third act. While he drank the free coffee. Prexy Attends Senior High School Meetings Meetings Held to Inform Seniors of High Schools About Colleges; Prexy Reports Interest in WWC Maxine Moldrem Maxine Moldrem, Western Washington college student, violinist and pupil of Catherine Wade Smith Jones, won out in the fifth biennial scholarship contest of the Belling-ham Woman's Music club Sunday afternoon at the Hotel Leopold and was awarded the $300 scholarship prize attached to first place. Miss Moldrem's selections were: "Sonata in A Major" (Handel); "Prelude from Sixth Sonata" (Bach); "First movement for the Second Concerto" (Wieniawski). Swanson Second Boyd Swanson, also a college student, coached by Nils Boson, took second place with the following baritone numbers: "In Questa Tomba' (Beethoven); "Song to the Evening Star, Tannhauser" (Wagner) ; "The Sea" (McDowell). There were five contestants competing for the scholarship. Miss Moldrem, incidentally, was runner-up to Helen "Griffiths two years ago in the last music club contest. "I still can't believe it's true—this Boyd Swanson certainly seems to be my lucky year," said Miss Moldrem. "I am very happy that Maxine won, as she certainly deserves it, and I am happy that I was able to place second," is the statement of Mr. Swanson. Money Awards Given The award is given for use in no particular school of music, but is merely for future musical training in any manner. No prize was presented for the second place in the contest. Judges for the afternoon were three distinguished Vancouver, B.C., musicians and musical experts. Stanley Bligh, music and dramatic editor of the Vancouver Sun, has had thirty years' experience, and is a veteran organist and vocal teach-: er. Jean de Rimonvcyz, a second judge, is a noted violinist and radio artist, being featured four times a week over the CBC network on its nation broadcast. The third one, Kenneth Ross, a pianist and teacher in Vancouver, has been judge of many similar contests in the Northwest. Fifteen Candidates Await Opening Of First Spring Quarter Election President Fisher returned recently from a trip through southwestern Washington during which conferences were held from April 25 to April 29 with seniors of different high schools.

The following colleges had representatives at the conferences: Washington State, Western Washington, Central Washington, and Eastern Washington colleges, St. Martin's, Whitman, College of Pu-get Sound, Reed College, and Lin-field, of Oregon. An experiment was tried in which high school seniors of the different schools of the counties were brought "into the high school at the county seat for the conference. Meetings were held in Vancouver, Kelso, Long-view, Centralia, Aberdeen, and Olympia. Seniors Interviewed A day was devoted to having the representatives of the colleges speak to the seniors and interview them. In the morning an assembly was held during which the representatives were introduced and had an opportunity to speak about their colleges.

Two of-the .main questions asked were what the college had to offer and the cost of attending. In a statement by President Fisher, he declared, "I found the conference very interesting and learned much from it." He also stated that the experiment was successful and he hopes that it will be continued another year, as it saves the time of both the schools and the representatives.

Holding the last meeting of the quarter Monday evening at Edens hall, the Valkyrie girls elected Helen Masters as their president for next year. A discussion was made of the Valkyrie sport dance, which was held Friday evening at the Bellingham hotel. The dance is reported to have been very successful. Ruth Tveten and Carol Rosenz-weig were the two representatives sent to the nominating convention last Tuesday. Plans were made for the Valkyrie cruise, the tentative date being set for May 22. Each Valkyrie girl may invite one girl friend. Arrangements were also made for the Valkyrie rowing crew which is to compete in a race with another girls'crew. Creative writing was the theme of the Vanadis Bragi meeting held Monday night in the Edens hall club room. Instead of taking up the works of other authors, the club members turned to the writing of stories. The manuscripts of the would-be authors were read and discussed by the group. Those who read original compositions were: Mrs. Ethel Ross, Marguerite Win-terhalter, Bertha Hall, Karl Mark-graf, and Ethel Schwartz. Plans were made for the next meeting to be held May 16.

WAA[Gals Make Final Payment On Sinclair Island Cabin First Nighters Like 'Little Women' Final payment has been made by the WAA on their Sinclair island cabin. The land was acquired in 1925, and the WAA built the cabin, kept up the interest,, installments, insurance and taxes until the last of the note was paid in full. The girls at first earned the money for the cabin by a series of candy, hot dog, and apple sales. At the present time the place is-called "Viqueen," but a committee is working now for a change to a* name honoring the late Florence "Tory" Lund. Thirteen acres of mostly wooded land surround the lodge, which faces Orcas island. There are two beaches—one which has a swift current where science students may find speciments or sea life; the other is sandy and protected and suitable for swimming. The house has a large living room, a well equipped kitchen, and two bedrooms. The WAA is planning to have a fire place built, and a water pipe installed. The furnishings are donations from the attics of faculty members. Cruises Planned There are two cruises being planned to the island. One, a weekend trip sponsored by the WAA, will leave Friday afternoon, May 20. The otlier, Miss Weythman's Camp-craft class, will leave on its field trip Thursday, May 19. The cabin belongs to the WAA, but they are anxious for the whole student body to have the advantages of the place. This is the third cabin which can be used by WWC students. The school owns "Lake-wood" on Lake Whatcom, and has part interest-in the Kulshan cabin in the mountains. PATRONIZE VJK1N6 ADVERTISERS Mrs. Spearin Appointed To Library Staff Recently appointed to the staff of the WWC library was Mrs. E. P. Spearin as reference librarian. A former faculty member in 1925-27 and 1931-33, Mrs. Spearin will fill the position.during the month of May and the summer, quarter. She is a graduate of Carletpn college, in Nortirfield;,Mb^sota? jiid the New Yofrjc Library school. The school is privileged in having Mrs. Spearin back again, according to the library staff. By Sybil Hinchliffe Pronounced an outstanding success by a capacity house of first nighters, "Little Women" plays the last times tonight and tomorrow night at the Civic Playhouse. Beulah Padavon, playing the part of typical tomboy Jo, carries the play. Maxine Moldrem cleverly fits herself into the character of Amy. She delights her audience with her strange, tumbled words and her little vanities. Rae Snyder, as Meg, fills the expectations of those familiar with the story of "Little Women." According to the general concensus of opinion, the drama is excellently cast. Ellen Quam tears the hearts of patrons by her portrayal of the death of invalid Beth in the third act, although her work in the first act does not coincide with the general interpretation of that character. Bill Biggerstaff as Laurie, Denton Hatfield as John Brooke, and Adele Jones as Aunt March deserve much praise for their excellent work. Dr. M F. Cederstrpm, as the patient philosopher, is a gentle and quiet father. His characterization steadily improves as the play progresses. Muriel Swank, filling the role of "Marmee," apparently lacks depth of feeling in the first act, but finds herself in subsequent scenes. Costuming and scenery play an important and vital part in creating the correct atmosphere of the Civil war days. Lewis H. Frazee, director, should be given credit for the tempo of the play, which moves along with speed and ease, coming to its proper climax tai the-fourth act; Two curtain calls are indicative of the audience's wholehearted reception of this Guild production. Listed above are the prospective office-holders chosen Tuesday by the nominating committee who will be voted on Wednesday of next week. This will be the first election under the new constitution with president and vice-president taking office in, fall quarter, while the representatives will take office immediately following the election. The nominating convention consisted of twenty-two members, representing the various clubs, which were approved by. the Inter-club council. Phil Kidder, acting vice-president of the student body, presided over the meeting while Jeanne Borgstedt acted as secretary. Mike Zylstra and Margaret Schold were tellers at the" meeting. Students Active The students seeking presidential office are well known on the campus : Neil for his work as Campus day chairman last year, leader of card section, and Board of Control member; Howatt for his scholastic standing and track endeavors; and Wilson for his work on the Board of Control, his experience as student body president and bis achievements in dramatics. The aspirants for vice-presidency are also outstanding: Kidder for his experience as vice-president and his ability in golf; Masters for her work on the Board of Control, as chairman of rec hours, and also for general cooperation in club and committee functions; and Weber for his athletic and scholastic pre-eminence, as well as for his work on the Klipsun. The board nominees were selected on their ability and active participation in school affairs: Siemons is well known as president of the Blue Triangle and president of Inter-club council, also active in Women's League and WAA; Shannon, recently elected treasurer of Women's League, is also a member of the Klipsun staff; while Virginia Weston, outstanding for her choral work, is also active in club duties. Four-Quarter Representative Running on the other four-quarter representative ticket: Courtney, member of the kitchen krew, is chairman of the food committee for Campus day; Dunning, representative as an active committee worker Continued on Page Three .

The trees are getting greener and the grass is too, except for the long brown rows of hay that are left behind the mowing machine. We might advocate a grass catcher but it's so obvious someone must have thought of it long ago. Since it isn't being used there must be some reason. Hope nobody has any foolish ideas about fertilizer. Mother's Day . . . this Sunday brings on a small at tack of nostalgia, especially when the pockelbook is on such a rigorous diet. She is probably well rewarded, though by our being away and not kicking around underfoot. There wont be nearly so many dishes to wash after dinner Sunday or clothes to pick up. With a special . . • train and all the trimmings, Reichs-fuehrer Hitler has gone to visit n Duce, in Rome. Its only a friendly visit designed to repay Mussolini for his neighborly little call on the German capitol last year. Friendly or not, in our neighborhood it was a good idea to watch out when the two big shots got together. We would either run home to the comparative safety of Mama's kitchen or walk down the street with our big brothers. Getting closer all . • • the time is the big event of the year. Campus Day. Everyone is working feverishly to get his particular little job finished on time. Following a long established precedent, it looks as though we will be ready for Campus day on Campus day. The swimmers have ventured forth to enter the competition When the big day comes they ought to put up a good show. If it isn't tiie usual Campus day weather of rata or snow. About five clubs . . . and houses have organized crew teams for the boat races. The Valkyries are the latest contestants to bid for the blistered hand. They'll have to build a lot of brawn in their competition if the latest rumor is true. Half the girls are going to wear slacks on the club cruise next month so the other half won't have to invite boys. In fact they can't invite boys which means somebody is going to have a lot of work to do. The faculty has chosen . . . the Viking Manor, intramural soft-ball champs, as the team against whom they will pit brain and brawn in the annual Softball battle. If the Manor boys break that time-honored custom of taking a trouncing at the hands of the Profs, anything is liable to happen. They probably wont gel beat though because true champions don't play ball for grades. t i t t l e Women" opened . . . at the Theatre Guild Wednesday night to a full house.

WAA[Gals Make Final Payment On Sinclair Island Cabin First Nighters Like 'Little Women' Final payment has been made by the WAA on their Sinclair island cabin. The land was acquired in 1925, and the WAA built the cabin, kept up the interest,, installments, insurance and taxes until the last of the note was paid in full. The girls at first earned the money for the cabin by a series of candy, hot dog, and apple sales. At the present time the place is-called "Viqueen," but a committee is working now for a change to a* name honoring the late Florence "Tory" Lund. Thirteen acres of mostly wooded land surround the lodge, which faces Orcas island. There are two beaches—one which has a swift current where science students may find speciments or sea life; the other is sandy and protected and suitable for swimming. The house has a large living room, a well equipped kitchen, and two bedrooms. The WAA is planning to have a fire place built, and a water pipe installed. The furnishings are donations from the attics of faculty members. Cruises Planned There are two cruises being planned to the island. One, a weekend trip sponsored by the WAA, will leave Friday afternoon, May 20. The otlier, Miss Weythman's Camp-craft class, will leave on its field trip Thursday, May 19. The cabin belongs to the WAA, but they are anxious for the whole student body to have the advantages of the place. This is the third cabin which can be used by WWC students. The school owns "Lake-wood" on Lake Whatcom, and has part interest-in the Kulshan cabin in the mountains. PATRONIZE VJK1N6 ADVERTISERS Mrs. Spearin Appointed To Library Staff Recently appointed to the staff of the WWC library was Mrs. E. P. Spearin as reference librarian. A former faculty member in 1925-27 and 1931-33, Mrs. Spearin will fill the position.during the month of May and the summer, quarter. She is a graduate of Carletpn college, in Nortirfield;,Mb^sota? jiid the New Yofrjc Library school. The school is privileged in having Mrs. Spearin back again, according to the library staff. By Sybil Hinchliffe Pronounced an outstanding success by a capacity house of first nighters, "Little Women" plays the last times tonight and tomorrow night at the Civic Playhouse. Beulah Padavon, playing the part of typical tomboy Jo, carries the play. Maxine Moldrem cleverly fits herself into the character of Amy. She delights her audience with her strange, tumbled words and her little vanities. Rae Snyder, as Meg, fills the expectations of those familiar with the story of "Little Women." According to the general concensus of opinion, the drama is excellently cast. Ellen Quam tears the hearts of patrons by her portrayal of the death of invalid Beth in the third act, although her work in the first act does not coincide with the general interpretation of that character. Bill Biggerstaff as Laurie, Denton Hatfield as John Brooke, and Adele Jones as Aunt March deserve much praise for their excellent work. Dr. M F. Cederstrpm, as the patient philosopher, is a gentle and quiet father. His characterization steadily improves as the play progresses. Muriel Swank, filling the role of "Marmee," apparently lacks depth of feeling in the first act, but finds herself in subsequent scenes. Costuming and scenery play an important and vital part in creating the correct atmosphere of the Civil war days. Lewis H. Frazee, director, should be given credit for the tempo of the play, which moves along with speed and ease, coming to its proper climax tai the-fourth act; Two curtain calls are indicative of the audience's wholehearted reception of this Guild production. Listed above are the prospective office-holders chosen Tuesday by the nominating committee who will be voted on Wednesday of next week. This will be the first election under the new constitution with president and vice-president taking office in, fall quarter, while the representatives will take office immediately following the election. The nominating convention consisted of twenty-two members, representing the various clubs, which were approved by. the Inter-club council. Phil Kidder, acting vice-president of the student body, presided over the meeting while Jeanne Borgstedt acted as secretary. Mike Zylstra and Margaret Schold were tellers at the" meeting. Students Active The students seeking presidential office are well known on the campus : Neil for his work as Campus day chairman last year, leader of card section, and Board of Control member; Howatt for his scholastic standing and track endeavors; and Wilson for his work on the Board of Control, his experience as student body president and bis achievements in dramatics. The aspirants for vice-presidency are also outstanding: Kidder for his experience as vice-president and his ability in golf; Masters for her work on the Board of Control, as chairman of rec hours, and also for general cooperation in club and committee functions; and Weber for his athletic and scholastic pre-eminence, as well as for his work on the Klipsun. The board nominees were selected on their ability and active participation in school affairs: Siemons is well known as president of the Blue Triangle and president of Inter-club council, also active in Women's League and WAA; Shannon, recently elected treasurer of Women's League, is also a member of the Klipsun staff; while Virginia Weston, outstanding for her choral work, is also active in club duties.
