VOL. XVII. Weekly Messenger 1 Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School NO. 13 IHE NORMAL MOURNS The Messenger of last week spoke of the sudden death of our beloved friend and former student, Lieut. Louis Gloman. At the time when this saddening message was received, however, details were lacking and the paper was already partially upon the press. We, therefore, take this opportunity to speak more definitely concerning Mr. Gloman. Perhaps no better account could be given than that in the folloAving article clipped from the Bellingham Herald: "Taken suddenly ill on a motor supply train while en route from the Presidio, San Francisco, to Camp Mer-ritt, N. J., whence he expected to leave soon for Prance, Second Lieut. Louis B. Gloman, 406th motor supply train, quartermaster's corps of the national army, died yesterday morning at Jefferson City Barracks, Missouri, according to a telegram received by his mother, Dr. Katherine Gloman^ 1121 Key street, from General Murray, commanding the bar.- racks. The cause of death was an attack of influenza and a form of strepticocous infection. Lieutenant Gloman was removed from the train to the barracks last Tuesday. "At the mother's request the body will be shipped to Bellingham and it probably will arrive here Monday or Tuesday. Funeral announcements will be made by Arthur C. Harlow, after the arrival of the widow, who was Miss Dixon Wood, of Portland, Ore., (Continued on Page Twelve) BELLINGHAM, WASH., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1917 • f c a ^ j u — — I I — I I December Clouds By GLENN HUGHES Across the house-tops, piled with white, Across the sea, all grey and dark, In winter's robes of sallow light, Slowly the tireless clouds embark. They hang above the water's edge In stern and ordered dignity; They break and form an upper ledge More sombre still. Between we see The still and veiled white of space, The pallid radiance of the sun Whose glory lingers, though its face Points to new worlds, now the day's done. Clouds drift, and crumble, turn to grey, Then gather into black once more; A tender creeping-arm of day, Saffron and pink, starts from the shore To climb the ominous, wind-torn walls, But it touches the first too timidly, And lacking the strength, wavers and falls From the ragged ramparts, into the sea. Clouds drifting in the winter light, Drifting into havens of mist. Drifting into havens of night Where winds are born, and stars have kissed. STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION HAS C1STMAS PARTY A merry Christmas jollification was held Wednesday evening by the students association for all of the students of the school. Mrs. Engberg's orchestra, which was the chief feature of the evening, rendered beautiful selections of Christmas music. A Christmas pageant was given, showing how Christmas was given in an old time schoolhouse, when the parents all came to hear their children speak annual Christmas pieces and Santa Claus came to school. A Christmas speech was then given by Mr. Booman, the president of the Students' Association. The first part of the program was held in the auditorium, after which the crowd adiourned to the gymnasium and played Christmas games and got acquainted. Refreshments were served and the Christmas spirit freely discontinued on Page Twelve) Y. M. C. A. When the Y. M. C. A. opened their huge campaign for $1,000,- 000 among the students of our entire country we rejoiced to learn that it had been greatly oversubscribed. Final reports made us still happier and prouder upon learning that, of all the western states Wasington's subscriptions totaled an amount second only to California. The students and faculty of our own institution gladly gave, many of them to the point of real sacrifice and their subscriptions went more than seven hundred dollars above, the sum proportioned us. Now, that the campaign is closed, the committee is anxious to express its appreciation for the excellent spirit shown and the promptness with which the pledges have been redeemed. Our Christmas cheer may be (Continued on Page Twelve) When gathered 'round the Xmas tree, With faces bright and fair, Just send a prayer across the sea, To our boys who're "over there." I In spite of most unpleasant weather conditions last Saturday night, several hundred people listened to the program presented in the auditorium by Mrs. Thatcher. Especially pleasing were the solos rendered by Mrs. Nash, Mrs. Colby and Mr. Harrison Raymond ,a city vocal teacher. Keen appreciation and kind attention were displayed on the part of the audience throughout the evening. The evening chorus, composed for the most part of students and aided by a few men from the faculty, including Dr. Nash, did very, very credible work in their presentation of six selected choruses from famous oratorios, and Mrs. Thatcher's training was highly praised. Such expressions as "It was really wonderful; I shouldn't say so if it weren't; Can't you give it again? So many didn't hear it," and "My, you should have had a flashlight taken of the chorus. They all looked so nice!" reached the ears of various participants, after it was all over. i MISS DRAKE'S FATHER DIES. Miss Maude E. Drake, our Everett cadet supervisor, was called upon to suffer the death of her father last Thursday. His home was in Seattle. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her in this time of her great loss. Notices of overdue books are daily posted on the A B C bulletin board. Students are held responsible for- these notices, and requested to remove them from the bulletin board at once.
