• The Viking hoopsters will swing into
action again Saturday afternoon when
they meet- the fast aggregation of bas­ketballtossers
from St. Martin's Col­lege
in the Whatcom High School gym.
Very little is known of the strength
of the college meri; except their repu­tation
of past seasons and for this
reason Coach Davis has come to the
conclusion that his men will not have
everything their own way as they did
in the Ellensburg game last week. Last
year the best that the Vikings could do
was to win one of the two games that
they played with Father Edward's men
and that by a close score. 7~~
The game will get .under way imme­diately
following a preliminary which
will start at 3 'o'clock.

Several Feature Acts Carefully
Worked Out.
The Women's Glee Club of the State
College of Washington will appear in
the Normal-Auditorium ^Saturday, night,
February 14. This is the organization's
fourth annual tour and it promises to
be their most successful season.
The chorus consists of twenty-four
trained voices directed by Mrs. La Verna
Kimbrough. Instead of a straight con­cert
program, there will be feature acts
which have been carefully' worked out
and which are well worth seeing. Their
-numbers range from--colorful,—shaded-chorus-
songs to lifting, popular melod­ies
and from quartet selections to the
Scotch comedy songs and dances. Var­iety
is the keynote.
Features
Features of the program this year
are: A Chinese musical extravaganza in
costume, which alone, is much above the
ordinary; piano and violin selections
and a string trio which will replace the
club jazz orchestra. The trio is compos­ed
of Vincent Hiden of Rochester, Doris
McReynolds of Woodland, and Lillian
Pettibone of Veradale. Numbers given
by the trio have been very popular.
The quartet has blend and color that
make it rival male quartet organiza­tions,
This quartet is composed of
Catherine Hunt of Spokane, Vera Bolh-ke
of Grand View, Vay Kearns of Gar­field
and Katherine Pugh of Tacoma.
The club will also be accompanied by
Imogene Setzer of Tacoma and Melba
Kifong of Colfax, dancers, who will
present clever numbers which add mat-rially
to the program.
Alberto Salvi, acclaimed as the world's
greatest concert. artist, will appear in
concert at the First Christian church
on Monday evening, February 16.
As the fourth number of a series,
given by the Women's /Music Club and
the Bellingham Normal School, this corn-cert-
promises an unusual treat for all
music lovers'.
•••. The son of an Italian harp maker of
Venice, Salvi took his first lessons on
a miniature harp made especially for
him. This was even before his school
days. -
As he was winner of the Royal
scholarship's prize he received all his
training at the expense of the Italian
government graduating with honor, three
years ahead of his class.
A composer-director hailed today as
the greatest concert harpist the world
has ever produced his absolute suprem­acy
is established by criticsHhroughout
the nation.
Student tickets will admit to this
concert, which will start at 8:15.

Miss May G. Long of the Physical Ed­ucation
department died in the Everett
General hospital last'Friday evening at
6:30 o'clock, after a short illness. Fun­eral
services were held in an Everett;
funeral parlor. Sunday at 3:30 p. m.
Miss Long is survived by her father, Mr.
J. W. Long, of Bellingham, and; one
brother, L. A. Long, of Mason City,;
Iowa.
Miss Long has been an instructor at
the Normal for a little more,-than three
years and one quarter, coming here the
fall of 1921, from the State Teaehera'-
College of Pittsburg, Kansas. She had
been Physical Director of the Everett
schools ten years prior to going /to the
Kansas institution. Due to ill health,
she was granted a lea^ve of absence
from the beginning of this quarter un­til
the fall of 1925.
President Shows Appreciation.
President Fisher says of her death:
"It is a personal sorrow for us all to
have Miss Long pass away She was
enthusiastic in support of what we were
trying to do; no one on the faculty
was more ready to make changes and
help along progress than Miss Long.
"We were trying to develop a health
program, part of which" was physical
education and recreation. Miss Long
was very anxious to do all she could
to promote a health program. With
this in view, last spring quarter, during
her vacation, she visited the Normal
schools, colleges, and universities of
Washington and Oregon to see what the
other schools were doing in this line. :
"For one of her age. in physical edu­cation
she was the most unusual>persoh
t h a t - I have ever known. Even in a
younger person one rarely finds so
much energy, enthusiasm and .open^
mindedness as Miss Long had; ;I con?
sider that she has been a very successf
ful teacher. Students Under1 her instruc­tion
always had definite things they
could do in school. ';
Leader in State. SS
"Miss Long was recognized as a leact-r
er of her work in this state. Her death
is a .distinct loss to the. school and state
in the work of-physical education. SM
never considered her work done when
class ended; she always had plenty of
time for the students. She was a great,
help to students in managing social af>
fairs and always insisted upon high
standards of "conduct in connection with
social events. She had an unusual
ability to handle large "groups in rec­reational
and social events. One of her
marked characteristics was a great car
pacity for friendships. Both members
of the faculty and students easily
formed friendships with. her. Hundreds
of former as well as present, students
will feel a personal loss in her passing
away." "; ' '•",
