The Moroni Olsen Players scored another decided success Tuesday evening when they presented their final offering of the year, "The Taming of the Shrew," in the auditorium before the largest audience of the season.' The well known Shakespearian; comedy was interpreted in a splendid manner. Costumes and scenery added much to the effectiveness of the play. . Janet Young's characterization of the Shrew was very nearly perfectly done. She appeared at the first of the play as the raging daughter of • Baptista, and at the last was transformed into the mild' and obedient wife of Petruchib. • -•'•• Moroni: Olsen played the part of Pet-ruchip in a forceful manner, completely succeeding in taming the shrewish Kath-erina to his will. ^; Bryan Foulger, in the role of servant ' to Petruchio, was exceptionally clever, his.pranks,being.greatly enjoy by the audience. ; Dorothy Adams-as Blanca; the) sweet ,'•• and dutiful daughter of Baptista, played :hert part in a charming manner., ••'•/•y~y Summer Chase 'Cobb was the succes-fuHBuito^^ :^ lmg. herpK TheYother chara^ ^/^elUpoi^rayed*^ y^• Edmund Greenwellifea^ ^:duimg;^^ ;,;pmbrnmnce;^:'.v •: yy^yyyyy^yj'.:i, The musical organizations of the school will .give a joint concert in assembly, Friday, March 13.

"Old Lady 31" will be. presented by the. Drama Club, Friday and Saturday evenings March 6 and 7, in the auditorium. The action of the play takes place in an Old Ladies' Home in New England, 1850-1860. The so-called "Old Lady 31" is an old gentleman who has fallen on evil 'days and is admitted to an old ladies' home as an inmate, so he may not be separated from his wife, Old Lady 30. Abe, or Old Lady 31, has been an old sea captain. Through many bad investments he has lost everything. His house has been sold at an auction and all he and his wife Angie, .have between them and starvation is $100. This is just the sum required for entrance to the Old Ladies' Home. Abe decides to send his wife there, and he shall go to the poor house, a few miles away. When the old ladies of the Home hear this, they decide that he shall live at the "Home." Abe becomes a favorite and a pet among the women, but it gets to be too much for him, so he runs away as a naughty schoolboy would. A qualified observer has said, "Old Lady 31 is not a play constructed to teach anything; it has no problem. It is merely good wholesome fun all the way thorough. It is a play of character types. A great deal of fun comes out of the different types of old women brought together in the Home." One of the most interesting parts of the play is an old fashioned Mid-Victorian tea party where all the old ladies get out their old ball gowns. A program is also given at the party which is extremely amusing. Blossy, Edna Carlyle, gives a piano solo. While rendering the solo she is overcome with emotions and falls into a heap. Elizabeth, Margaret McRoberts, gives the reading, "The Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight," with great gestures, feelings and emotions. A special set is being constructed for "Old Lady 31." The types of costumes used during the Civil War will be used. These will be furnished by the Brpck-linde Company of Seattle. The tickets will be sold in advance on the landing for 25c. Those sold at the door will be 35c/ Members of the cast are as follows: Angie Katherine Schupp >Abe (old Lady 31) Sidney Smith Nancy , ..' : Wilda Smith TWO PERFORMANCES 0 P E | t BE GIVEN Local Singers to Present Caval-leria Rusticana Tonight CHANGE TO BE MADE IN ROOM AND BOARD Eleven Week Quarters1 Call' for Adjustments in Pay Days. (Continued on Page Two) In the Auditorium tonight, when the curtain rises for . "Cavalleria Rusticana," a local audience will, for the first time, have the opportunity of bearing Opera sung entirely by a local cast. The scenes of "Cavalleria Rusticana" (country chivalry) are laid in a small Sicillian town. Turrido, the village dandy, loves the maiden Lola, but he is called away to war. On returning he finds that Lola has married Alfio, the village waggoner. Piqued at this Turridu makes love to Santutza. Lola who has become very jealous, arranges clandestine meetings with Turridu. On Easter morning everyone excepting Santutza goes to church. Santutza is seeking Turrido, whom she sees walking along with Lola. They are having a violent quarrel in which Lola is victorious. Santutza is filled with jealousy and informs Alfio of the perfidy of Lola and Turrido. • Wine Drinking Scene. Act II opens with the populace drinking wine in front of the tavern. Turrido offers a glass to Alfio, who knocks the glass away and bites Turrido on the ear, a challenge to mortal combat. Turrido having a premonition of his death acknowledged his guilt to his mother, Lucia, *" and. bidding fare\well, entreats her to be a mother to Santutza. The curtain goes down as Lucia and Santutza fall in a faint on hearing from behind the scenes that Turrido is dead. For this highly dramatic opera, Mascangi has written a wonderful collection of melodies. Comic Opera as Curtain Raiser. Due to the shortness of "Cavalleria Rusticana" the comic opera, "The Mistress Servant" by Pergolesi, in one act will be given as a curtain raiser by three of M. Jou-Jerville's pupils from the- Cornish. School of Seattle. In the characters are Zervena, em-, ployed as a maid by the old Doctor Pandolpho, who also has a valet, and Scapin, a mute. Zervena rules the house and is anxious to marry her master. She has a violent temper and quarrels continually with Scapin, who torments her. Pandolpho, tiring of the strife,-tells Zervena to get married. She agrees and offers to be his wife, but is refused. Zervena resorts then to strategy, and dressing Scapin as a Captain, introduces him as her fiance. This makes the old Doctor jealous; he finds he can- NEW TREE ON CAMPUS AS MEMORIAL TO MISS LONG As a tribute to Miss Long the-children of the training school are going to plant a tree on the campus. The tree, a Japanese Beech will be planted on the left side of the walk, to correspond with one which was recently put on the other side. The children are going to defray the expense and the tree will be procured as soon as possible. The pupils chose the Japanese Beech because its sturdy uprightness will be symbolical of Miss Long's tireless and unfaltering zeal for all things that would better this school for the student body and the pupils of the Training School. o T IS T Final Score Is Bellingham, 4; Cheney, 3; Eliensburg, 2. ALLISON OFFERS NEW CUP Dance to Be Held in Dining Room of Edens Hall. (Continued on Page Two) Boost for Normal Literature Classes Given by Pamphlet A good time is promised to those attending the Frosh mixer, which is to be held Saturday night, February 28, in the dining room of Edens Hall. The committees in charge are preparing a royal reception for all. Foley's six-piece orchestra has been secured for the evening, so good music is assured. The dancing will be from 8:30 to 11:30. The decorations will be carried- out in green because of the proximity of St. Patrick's Day. Two little girls dressed in appropriate costumes will distribute the favors and serve the punch. The treasurer asks that all Freshmen pay their dues of twenty-five cents immediately so that the committees in charge can go" ahead with their plans. The dues are a quarter now but if paid on entering will be thirty- five cents. o- Los Angeles, California February 25, 1925 Dr. C. H. Fisher: Business pressure prevents my attendance at the final debate for the cup. May the best team; win. Please advise your students that I am ready to offer a bigger and better cup beginning next year. Shall be pleased to be advised of .the outcome. Make this your motto: Bite off more than you can chew and chew it. Assume a bigger task than you can do and do it. Hook your wagon to a star and> sit tight. . ' - Guy S. Allison. • TUDENTSTOPAY DOCTOR AND NURSE Board of Trustees Decides Economize Stringently. to Miss Jones, Dean of Women, sends out the following announcement in regard to. room and board: "Owing to the fact that both winter and' spring terms have been shortened to eleven weeks this year, it has been necessary to make an; adjustment in the matter f room rent which ment in the matter of room rent which mothers. . r "It is therefore ruled that students will pay by the four week month including vacation week whether they remain in town during the vacation or hold their rooms for the spring quarter. This will mean .that the last payment of the spring, quarter vVilllfiover three weeks instead • of,four; ,:ln cases\where 'all of the following questions though * , • • ' • • • " - ~ ~ That a charming personality can be obtained by peering into the dusty archives of bygone classics is the statement made in a pamphlet sent to the Messenger office. The advertisement was sent by the publishing house of some "revised edition" of the classics. Does the study of General Literature repay the students to the extent of the time and effort that is put into the course by their instructors and themselves? The students are often heard to complain about studying things written hundreds of years ago, which do not seem to have much to do "with present day topics,, at least not until crossword puzzles came into being. However,'' it of ten is desirable . t o know whether Copernicus was -a town on the Salonika Peninsula,. an Athenian "man-about- tpwn" with headquarters at the Club Cigar store, i>r an afternoon game, synonymous.with Mah Jong: One literature class answered nearly students either leave Sjshoplatjthe close of:•'•thei • winter quarter^ or enter for- the spring quarter;V paymenti \yill coyer eleven a n 4 : a ^ b a ^ Wsp^hold ivh^ to .move! from one; house i b another." ; knowledge acquired after .covering about half ^of the threerquarter course.' •'•'. vThe best list of answersI'-tq/thei. following list of questions.

"\ Who ;; was H Copernicus V Sir'; Joseph, At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, Monday evening, several matters of vital importance to. all students were acted upon. In view of the fact that next year's appropriation will be smaller than this year's, the trustees have found it necessary to economize in every way possible. It was therefore decided that the expense of maintaining a school nurse and school physician should be assumed by the students, as in the other institutions of higher learning in the state. Each student is to pay a quarterly fee of one dollar, effective in the spring quarter of this year. ,.\ Board and Room Raised Another matter acted upon was the cost of room and board at Edens Hall. A uniform rate of $8 per month for any room in the dormitory in place of the $6 $8, and $10 heretofore, was decided The assignment of the rooms will be made by the Dean of Women or Social Director. The / students being; hiere the longer will probably receive the better rooms while the new; students receive the others. Because of. the increased cost of food, and in order to conform to the principles taught in the Nutrition classes it will be necessary to raise the board at, the Edens Hall from $4.50 to $5 00 per week. This is the same rate as. is charged for board in the pother institutions of r the state. •'•'-''" The Normal Debate teams, by taking the decisions from both Cheney . a nd Eliensburg last night, won for Bellingham the Allison Trophy This cup, a ' donation of Guy S. Allison, Normal graduate, now business man of Los Angeles, was to be^ competed for by the three Normal Schools of the State. The Normal winning it three consecutive years was to become its owner. . The fact that a Normal won two out of the tri-Normal debates did not make. this school the winner it was necessary to win the "most points in all three debates. Last night, when the t w o ' to one decision came from the platform, and when a two to one reply came from Cheney, much anxiety was felt until ' word came from Eliensburg disclosing the; fact that Cheney won there with a two to one decision also. ,: Argument Hard to Meet. The Normal Negative team> Myra Leonard, Floid Van Etten, and Velma Le Master, presented argument that could not be shaken, however hard the affirmative tried. The Affirmative held that if the U. S. permitted Japanese to come into America, economic conditions would be bettered. They endeavored to show where 150 Japanese immigrants would tend to promote the welfare of this country rather than retard it, because in excluding these people the IT. S. would lose the trade of Japan, and that commerce makes a nation.

"Old Lady 31" will be. presented by the. Drama Club, Friday and Saturday evenings March 6 and 7, in the auditorium. The action of the play takes place in an Old Ladies' Home in New England, 1850-1860. The so-called "Old Lady 31" is an old gentleman who has fallen on evil 'days and is admitted to an old ladies' home as an inmate, so he may not be separated from his wife, Old Lady 30. Abe, or Old Lady 31, has been an old sea captain. Through many bad investments he has lost everything. His house has been sold at an auction and all he and his wife Angie, .have between them and starvation is $100. This is just the sum required for entrance to the Old Ladies' Home. Abe decides to send his wife there, and he shall go to the poor house, a few miles away. When the old ladies of the Home hear this, they decide that he shall live at the "Home." Abe becomes a favorite and a pet among the women, but it gets to be too much for him, so he runs away as a naughty schoolboy would. A qualified observer has said, "Old Lady 31 is not a play constructed to teach anything; it has no problem. It is merely good wholesome fun all the way thorough. It is a play of character types. A great deal of fun comes out of the different types of old women brought together in the Home." One of the most interesting parts of the play is an old fashioned Mid-Victorian tea party where all the old ladies get out their old ball gowns. A program is also given at the party which is extremely amusing. Blossy, Edna Carlyle, gives a piano solo. While rendering the solo she is overcome with emotions and falls into a heap. Elizabeth, Margaret McRoberts, gives the reading, "The Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight," with great gestures, feelings and emotions. A special set is being constructed for "Old Lady 31." The types of costumes used during the Civil War will be used. These will be furnished by the Brpck-linde Company of Seattle. The tickets will be sold in advance on the landing for 25c. Those sold at the door will be 35c/ Members of the cast are as follows: Angie Katherine Schupp >Abe (old Lady 31) Sidney Smith Nancy , ..' : Wilda Smith TWO PERFORMANCES 0 P E | t BE GIVEN Local Singers to Present Caval-leria Rusticana Tonight CHANGE TO BE MADE IN ROOM AND BOARD Eleven Week Quarters1 Call' for Adjustments in Pay Days. (Continued on Page Two) In the Auditorium tonight, when the curtain rises for . "Cavalleria Rusticana," a local audience will, for the first time, have the opportunity of bearing Opera sung entirely by a local cast. The scenes of "Cavalleria Rusticana" (country chivalry) are laid in a small Sicillian town. Turrido, the village dandy, loves the maiden Lola, but he is called away to war. On returning he finds that Lola has married Alfio, the village waggoner. Piqued at this Turridu makes love to Santutza. Lola who has become very jealous, arranges clandestine meetings with Turridu. On Easter morning everyone excepting Santutza goes to church. Santutza is seeking Turrido, whom she sees walking along with Lola. They are having a violent quarrel in which Lola is victorious. Santutza is filled with jealousy and informs Alfio of the perfidy of Lola and Turrido. • Wine Drinking Scene. Act II opens with the populace drinking wine in front of the tavern. Turrido offers a glass to Alfio, who knocks the glass away and bites Turrido on the ear, a challenge to mortal combat. Turrido having a premonition of his death acknowledged his guilt to his mother, Lucia, *" and. bidding fare\well, entreats her to be a mother to Santutza. The curtain goes down as Lucia and Santutza fall in a faint on hearing from behind the scenes that Turrido is dead. For this highly dramatic opera, Mascangi has written a wonderful collection of melodies. Comic Opera as Curtain Raiser. Due to the shortness of "Cavalleria Rusticana" the comic opera, "The Mistress Servant" by Pergolesi, in one act will be given as a curtain raiser by three of M. Jou-Jerville's pupils from the- Cornish. School of Seattle. In the characters are Zervena, em-, ployed as a maid by the old Doctor Pandolpho, who also has a valet, and Scapin, a mute. Zervena rules the house and is anxious to marry her master. She has a violent temper and quarrels continually with Scapin, who torments her. Pandolpho, tiring of the strife,-tells Zervena to get married. She agrees and offers to be his wife, but is refused. Zervena resorts then to strategy, and dressing Scapin as a Captain, introduces him as her fiance. This makes the old Doctor jealous; he finds he can- NEW TREE ON CAMPUS AS MEMORIAL TO MISS LONG As a tribute to Miss Long the-children of the training school are going to plant a tree on the campus. The tree, a Japanese Beech will be planted on the left side of the walk, to correspond with one which was recently put on the other side. The children are going to defray the expense and the tree will be procured as soon as possible. The pupils chose the Japanese Beech because its sturdy uprightness will be symbolical of Miss Long's tireless and unfaltering zeal for all things that would better this school for the student body and the pupils of the Training School. o T IS T Final Score Is Bellingham, 4; Cheney, 3; Eliensburg, 2. ALLISON OFFERS NEW CUP Dance to Be Held in Dining Room of Edens Hall. (Continued on Page Two) Boost for Normal Literature Classes Given by Pamphlet A good time is promised to those attending the Frosh mixer, which is to be held Saturday night, February 28, in the dining room of Edens Hall. The committees in charge are preparing a royal reception for all. Foley's six-piece orchestra has been secured for the evening, so good music is assured. The dancing will be from 8:30 to 11:30. The decorations will be carried- out in green because of the proximity of St. Patrick's Day. Two little girls dressed in appropriate costumes will distribute the favors and serve the punch. The treasurer asks that all Freshmen pay their dues of twenty-five cents immediately so that the committees in charge can go" ahead with their plans. The dues are a quarter now but if paid on entering will be thirty- five cents. o- Los Angeles, California February 25, 1925 Dr. C. H. Fisher: Business pressure prevents my attendance at the final debate for the cup. May the best team; win. Please advise your students that I am ready to offer a bigger and better cup beginning next year. Shall be pleased to be advised of .the outcome.

The advertisement was sent by the publishing house of some "revised edition" of the classics. Does the study of General Literature repay the students to the extent of the time and effort that is put into the course by their instructors and themselves? The students are often heard to complain about studying things written hundreds of years ago, which do not seem to have much to do "with present day topics,, at least not until crossword puzzles came into being.

"\ Who ;; was H Copernicus V Sir'; Joseph, At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, Monday evening, several matters of vital importance to. all students were acted upon. In view of the fact that next year's appropriation will be smaller than this year's, the trustees have found it necessary to economize in every way possible. It was therefore decided that the expense of maintaining a school nurse and school physician should be assumed by the students, as in the other institutions of higher learning in the state. Each student is to pay a quarterly fee of one dollar, effective in the spring quarter of this year. ,.\ Board and Room Raised Another matter acted upon was the cost of room and board at Edens Hall. A uniform rate of $8 per month for any room in the dormitory in place of the $6 $8, and $10 heretofore, was decided The assignment of the rooms will be made by the Dean of Women or Social Director. The / students being; hiere the longer will probably receive the better rooms while the new; students receive the others. Because of. the increased cost of food, and in order to conform to the principles taught in the Nutrition classes it will be necessary to raise the board at, the Edens Hall from $4.50 to $5 00 per week. This is the same rate as. is charged for board in the pother institutions of r the state. •'•'-''" The Normal Debate teams, by taking the decisions from both Cheney . a nd Eliensburg last night, won for Bellingham the Allison Trophy This cup, a ' donation of Guy S. Allison, Normal graduate, now business man of Los Angeles, was to be^ competed for by the three Normal Schools of the State. The Normal winning it three consecutive years was to become its owner. . The fact that a Normal won two out of the tri-Normal debates did not make. this school the winner it was necessary to win the "most points in all three debates. Last night, when the t w o ' to one decision came from the platform, and when a two to one reply came from Cheney, much anxiety was felt until ' word came from Eliensburg disclosing the; fact that Cheney won there with a two to one decision also. ,: Argument Hard to Meet. The Normal Negative team> Myra Leonard, Floid Van Etten, and Velma Le Master, presented argument that could not be shaken, however hard the affirmative tried. The Affirmative held that if the U. S. permitted Japanese to come into America, economic conditions would be bettered. They endeavored to show where 150 Japanese immigrants would tend to promote the welfare of this country rather than retard it, because in excluding these people the IT. S. would lose the trade of Japan, and that commerce makes a nation.
