*?3^m§ Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL: XXHI-^NO. 36 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOI*, BBLLDW5HAM, WASH. Thursday, July^; 1924 JBCMMPAP Announcement of Sticker Candidate Proves Fatal, POYHONEN IS ONLY MAN The feminine politicians of the Normal quietly engineered an overwhelming victory, for all their candidates. The girls were seemingly annoyed by the late consecutive victories of the boys, and under the cover, of gym classes, club and league meetings they prepared the mass of the women voters for a straight feminine ticket. Previous to the announcement that the Women's League were to run a sticker candidate the election of the men appeared fairly certain. While certain of the young men were congratulating themselves on their political abilities the girls were preparing to turn the tables on them. The final masterstroke' of genius was the distribution of the posters "Shall 100 rule 1000?" on the morning of the election. With the opening of the polls it became, evident that the women meant business and were aroused to their full strength at last. They made a few mistakes in permitting electioneering at the polls but these were for the most part overlooked in the novelty of the situation. Many "girls voted for the three H's alone. In all 986 votes were cast. This shows an increase in school spirit above the last election. Pauline Hutchison received the highest number of votes. Warner Poyhonen was the only boy elected.

B. Waldo/of the Western State Normal at Kalamazoo, Mich., was honored at a luncheon held on June 17, 1924, by the members of the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Exchange clubs at the banquet hall of the Masonic Temple at Kalamazoo. The occasion was the twentieth anniversary of the Western State Normal Shcool, of which Mr. Waldo has been president since its founding. The different speakers representing the various clubs expressed high appre-ciaton of the sincere efforts and devote? ness of Mr Waldo in placing the Western State among the ranks of the leading normaT schools of the country. It was said that twenty > years ago the Normal was only a sand hill and that a great deal of the sand was not in the I hill but in President Waldo. It will be remembered by the students of W. S. N. S. that Mr. Waldo was 'president of this iformal for one year preceding the, arrival of President Fisher. FRIDAY—July 4. Y. W. O. A. picnic at Whatcom Falls park.

ARMORY IS SCENE OF NORMAL PARTY DANCE Students Are Recovering From Dance and Ma Jong. A fair-sized crowd of Normalites gathered at the Armory Wednesday evening, July 2, to participate in a "get together party" of the summer. Ma Jong was one of the big features of the evening. To see the Ma Jong hounds haunt the tables was indeed interesting, and to hear them plead for just one more chance to be "East Wind' was a keen source of amusement These sharks would be able to break the bank at Monte Carlo in one night, they ran up such huge scores. Games were another source of amusement, but of course dancing was the big hit of "the' evening. It was a successful affair and no one that atended regretted the fact that he came. POPULARSTUDENT IS PLAYERIN[RECITAL John Monroe Plays Violin. John Monroe, prominent in student musical circles, and Mr. Gunnar Anderson were presented Monday evening in a recital at the Garden Street Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Monroe has studied the violin for five years with Albert Bensen, head of the Bellinghara School of Music and Art. Mr. Anderson is a pupil of Mr. Charles Bowen, teacher of piano in the Fine Arts Studio. The program was as follows: I. Sonata No. 5 (F Major) Op. 24 Beethoven a. Allegro b. Adagio molto expressivo c. Scherzo d. Rondo II. Polonaise in A Op. 40, No. 1 _ Chopin Gunnar Anderson HI... Polonaise in A Wieniawski John Monroe IV. A. The Rosary (left hand) ....Nevin b. Prelude C Sharp Minor _ Rachmaninoff V. a. Ave Maria Schub'ert-Wilhelini b. Romance Spohr c. Folk Song and Dance : „ Mme. Davenport-Engber» Shakespeare's Question Is Finally Answered^ There are 1247 students enrolled in the Normal Shool for the summer session. Of this number 175 are men All of the students are now catalogued; the women in the Dean of Women's office and the men in Mr. Davis' office. Twenty-five Normal students are at the Friday Harbor Biological station. Shakespeare said, "What's in a name?" Much has been found in the names of the Normal students. That variety is the spice of life seems to be proven on the campus; for not only are -there school teachers but with them are ' found three Bakersj two Cooks, two Butlers, six Millers, a Farmer, a Barber; a Porter, a Tanner, a Plummer, a dozen Smiths, a Shepard, some Kings, several Marshalls, a Copp and a Driver. Immigration laws have .not barred Poland, Sweden, and a Scott from entering- this institution Neither has prohibition put the Brewer put' of business. Bottles are scarce but there are two ; Corks. Tbi Noyes that breaks the silence of <the study hours is due to the rattling Fords and the' speeding_Mitchells, Max-j -wells and Aliens.

Two Temples and a Church and hardy—should anyone want to know. In the Orchard are Bartlett Pears, Olives, and an Almond Busch. The flower garden consists of Myrtle, Marguerites, Lilies, Violets, Roses, and Daisies in abundance with only one Pansy. Black, Blue, Brown,"Gray, Green and White are the predominating colors, the Bright ones having faded in the Hott Wethers. The zoo is not advertised but it is noticed that the Ramm, Roe, Staggs, Wolff and Parrott are thriving well, probably'due to the supply of Oates and Rice. No Doe is to be ound but Cash is on hand, so why worry ? One fellow student is in the Ward- in Paine with .Burns while another is enjoying Comfort. A Wiseman and three Sages are among the. Young of the school. Even Faith, Hope and Charity abide in the Halls.' The surrounding beautiful scenery consists oF"Hilis .that are Rockey, Woods, Dales, Leesj Meads and Lanes from North to;West and Southard; SOCIOLOGY LECTURES Professor Dealey, Lecturer and Author, Will Be Speaker. Professor James Quayle Dealey, of Brown University, will begin a course of lectures to last for one ' week, next Monday. Hs first lecture will be on "Dreams or Visions in Social Progress," at 9 oclock, in the auditorium. Mr. Lawson's 9 o'clock class in Economics will attend the lecture en masse, and any other teacher who has a class at this period which is in any way related to' this phase of the curriculum may permit the students to attend the lecture instead. Students who have this period vacant are also invited to attend Professor Dealeys next lecture will be at 3 o'clock in tne afternoon on "Fundamental Problems of American Civilization." Mr. Kinneman's class in Sociology will attend, with the other conditions the same as mentioned above. The assemblies on Tuesday and Friday will also be given over , to Professor Dealey. He is the author of many textbooks, among which are: "A Textbook of Sociology" (with Doctor Lester Ward). "Sociology, Its Principles and Applications." "Our State Constitutions"' "Development of the State." "Ethical and Religious Significance of the State." "The Family in Its Sociological Aspects." "The State and Government." He has ben president of the American Sociological Society, vice-president of the Amrican Political Science Association, and an exchange professor from Brown to the University of Shanghai, China. He is and has been a lecturer at the U. S. Naval War College, Newport, R. I., and at the U. S. Army War College, Washington) D; G., Gn --Foreign Relations and International Diplomacy. He is in constant demand on the public lecture platform. AUTO PLUNGES OVER BANKS INTO SAMISH Ford Takes Tunstall Into Lake— Rest of Party Not in Car. There are exceptions to all well founded rules and Mr. Don Tunstall is a fine example. It is not definitely stated that Don goes directly to sleep each night but nevertheless he drives a Ford and still Iooks"well and happy. There is still that spring of youth in his step and his countenance wears a becoming smile. The little accident which occurred out at Lake Samish last Sunday did not have a woman connected with it. The reason the car which- Don was driving ran off of the road and plunged into the lake, was that the radius rod broke and consequently Don lost all control over the car. As further evidence, the maidens were not near the . car at the time of the accident. They were preparing the lunch while Don was turning the car around. Mr. Tunstall is none the worse for his unexpected dip in the lake. The car, has been hoisted out and soon again will be running on all fours. / o BILL OF SALE F PRE-WAR DAYS FOUND jate (Very Late) Free Advertising Run in Mesenger. Through the courtesy of Mrs. Diza March we have an opportunity to print the contents of an old sale bill reprinted recently by the Anderson News. This bill was first pTinted in 1849. Some of its items are amusing as well as interesting. It reads: • "Having sold my farm and I am leaving for "Oregon Territory" by ox team will offer on March 1, 1819, all of my personal property, to-wit: "AH ox teams except two teams, Buck and Ben and Tom and Jerry: 2 milk cows, 1 gray mare'and colt; 1 pair of oxen and yoke; 1 baby yoke; 2 ox carts, 1 iron foot of popular weather boards: plow with wood mole board; 800 to 1,000 three-foot clan, boards;' 1,500 teh-foOt fence rails; .1 60-gallon ;soap- kettle; 85 sugar, troughs made of white ash timber;v 10 gallons of maple syrupv 2 spinning wheels;: 30 pounds of mutton MARY EATON WILL Only Woman Who Has Ever Accomplished This Feat. Mary Eaton, student at the Normal, who will graduate in August, will swim Guemes Channel at Anaeortes" on the evening of July 4. Miss Eaton will take off on the Guemes Island side 7:30 p. m. at slack water, high tide and expects to make the crossing in thirty minutes. Last year, she swam the channel in a wider place.and the time for crossing was 36 minutes. Miss Eaton was the first woman to, accomplish this feat, and only two men out of many who have tried it have made the crossing. She also swam across Hoods Canal, a distance of 2x/2 miles, from Coyle to Sea-beck. This swim was made in 59 minutes. - Guemes Channel is about a mile and a half wide. The difficulty of the feat lies not so much in the distance as in the cold, swift current which tests the endurance of the swimmer. STUDENTS SUPERVISE CITY PLAYGROUNDS Children Are Enthusiastic Over Novel Pet Parade. The Park Board of Bellingham has given Miss Dorothy Young, Physical Education, teacher'in Whatcom High school, arid her assistant, Mrs. Mary Boggan, general supervision in the five city parks of the children's play hours, 3:30 to 5:00 and 7:00 to 8:30 p. m. About nineteen Normal student teachers are helping carry on this recreation work for the summer quarter. Children are taught to play widely and well^ with such games as baseball and volleyball for the olden, and hiking, sewing, hand-work, and story-telling for the younger children. At Squalicum Beach and Whatcom Park pool children from ten to fifteen are taught to swim. No.class may have more than fifteen members. When these have learned, a new class is formed. These classes are in charge of Miss Mary Eaton. ^ Pet Parade Coming. This afternoon children and teachers of all the playgrounds are staging a Pet Parade. The parade will form in front of the Y. W. C. A. on Forest street, niarh down to Holly; down Holly to Bay, thence to the City Hall.

INVITES ALL STAY-OVERS TO PICNIC The Y. W. G. A. has cordially invited all the students who have not made plans for spending the Fourth elsewhere to join them on a picnic at Whatcom Falls Park. : They say that the stimulating air of Whatcom Falls Park is guaranteed to make a person hungry as a bear. Each student is invited to look at the announcement on the Y. W. 0. A. bulletin board and sign his name below the article of food he wishes to take. Besides this it is rumored that the Y. W. C. A. is going to serve an extra surprise. Games races, songs, and readings are the features in which all will take part. To arrive: Take the 11 /oclock Lake Whatcom car at the corner of Holly and Elk. A "Safe and Sane" as well as an enjoyable Fourth is assured. o ' WOMEN'SLEAGUEWILL CHOOSE NEW OFFICERS E TO E Miss George Leads Because Mr. Kolstad Is Scared^ EATS FOUND AT STATE PARE ummer Quarter Elections A Week From Today. The Women's League will hold an election a week from today to elect officers for the summer. Those who have been nominated are; for president, Eva Carruth and Gladys Goss; for vice-president, Cressa Vinup and Wilda Smith; for treasurer, Pearl Bartruff. It is probable that still further nominations will be made. J C -O MR. BEVER CROSSED PLAINS IN "THE COVERED WAGON" Mr. Bever is eligible for a complimentary ticket to "The Covered Wagon," now playing at the American. Anyone that crossed the plains in a, covered wagon is eligible. When Mr. Bever was eight years old his family, in the company of one other familyj- crossed; -via the route 'of the old Santa Fe trails. The play itself depicts the perils and hardships which the settlers and pioneers had to encounter in their long journey. Chief among these was the peril from the Indians. Mr. Bever's family, too, had quite a scare from this source. A group of cowboys came hurrying up one day, and warned them io keep" going until they came to the southern part of Colorado, where they finally settled. ' THE ELIJAH'' COMING SUMMER PRODUCTION Mendelssohn's well known oratorio, "The Elijah" will be presented late in the summer by a large chorus under the direction of Mrs. Hedges. About eighty people, including several faculty members, are taking part in the two weekly rehearsals wliich are being held. Soloists will be chosen from within the chorus. Mrs. Hedges is emphatic in her praise of the chorus as a whole, and is confident of a successful performance.. The hike to Lost Lake, Saturday, was taken by about seventy-three Noi nil students, led by Miss George, cataloguer of the library. About twelve oclock the Interurban depot was crowded with seeming Amazons— girls and women in various assortments of trousers, shirts and' laced boots, each intent upon securing a. ticket for Summit JTrail. There was a i'ero-ci6us struggle to get on the Interurban, but the little girls were able to squeeze into seats three or four deep, so only a few had to stand on their own feet (or their neighbors' feet) as the interurban, rounde a curve. - Mr; Kolstad was searched for in the smoker, under the seats and on the cow catcher, but could not be found Many , wails and lamentations pierced the air when it was imparted that he did not come as the overwhelming majority of. women had daunted even his fearless'' soul. The only hen pecked men in the bunch were Frank Katterman and Charles Van Dorn, but anyway Frank was among the first to reach tne lake, and was the first to drink of it, so he upheld the honor of the stronger sex. Lake Is Found. Miss George led the way, the rest followed single file up the shaded, mossy trail. The lower trail, which is about five and one-half miles was taken. It runs along the top of a high ridge, looking down on both sides to small ravines, now nearly dry. The majority of the group stayed together, but a few pioneer souls-broke away and reached the lake by 2:30, the bulk of^the group arriving, at 3:00, after jumping over , stumps, ducking ~under logs, wading through nettles, and climbing cliffs on all fours.- Everyone who reached the lake/ (and all who started reached it,)' agreed that finding the long-lost lake was worth the climb, and drank long and thirstily of its luke-warm water. - Mr. Bond and Eats at State Parle. ; After short rests in various graceful poses the crowd started back in small groups. Some hardy, Hriflring people managed to catch the five o'clock interurban for State Park. Mr. Bond had "done his stuff" well, and a man-sized bonfire was ready on the ocean. After feeding sumptuously on toasted hot dogs, buns, doughnuts and very excellent coffee—yes, Mr. Bond made it—the early comers very kindly toasted, hot dogs, six or eight on a stick, for the famished horde that came on the six o'clock interuruan. When the eats had all disappeared, the interurban was again invaded, and a crowd looking rather the worse for wear, but with an everybody-happy-yea-;' bo expression headed back for civilization.: . Crazed Student Discovered Wandering on first Landing There was no denying it; the girl was mad—stark, raving mad. She sat on the top step of the landing, staring wildly at the circle of curious spectators, including President Fisher. "Are you a student here ?" someone asked. "Yes, but. my grandmother was a Hottentot," she answered sadly, and went on muttering queer, jumbled phrases, of which the listeners caught a word now and then. "Square —2— sodium — percent — parallelogram- —• President Fisher looked quite solemn. "Where do you^live?" he asked her. "Copenhagen is 6 pints from Main Street," she moaned. '"vThe President tried again. "Do you live at'Edens Hall ?" ®er eyes widened; she half arose, and her atitude was hostile. It was' indeed. Pi-esident Fisher drew back. " I f Miss Jones spent 80% of her in-ome, is W sillier than or as silly as J? Answer me that!" she. demanded, fiercely, flinging her hand out. The circle drew away from her. "circles—circles," she soliloquized, quietly. "A radius has six legs; perimeter, six; circle^ pie, "cakef—" At this' she began muttering angrily, "800—400-^0ri7S^5o^671! • 'A Roman museum'. cbn^hs.aV skulls oi>'Napoleon when- he was three yearsold, another; skull when he was ten years old, and another when hfe was twenty "^ears old.

The trustee in the pic* ture frame looked quite shocked. Before" . the President was aware of the sudden change in her mood, she fell to., her knees and began searching the floor. "Have you lost something?" the doc- / tor asked, patiently. She nodded as if she understood him. /" r "'We are lost!' the Captain shouted.

Announcement of Sticker Candidate
Proves Fatal,
POYHONEN IS ONLY MAN
The feminine politicians of the Normal
quietly engineered an overwhelming
victory, for all their candidates. The
girls were seemingly annoyed by the
late consecutive victories of the boys,
and under the cover, of gym classes,
club and league meetings they prepared
the mass of the women voters for a
straight feminine ticket. Previous to
the announcement that the Women's
League were to run a sticker candidate
the election of the men appeared fairly
certain. While certain of the young men
were congratulating themselves on their
political abilities the girls were preparing
to turn the tables on them. The
final masterstroke' of genius was the
distribution of the posters "Shall 100
rule 1000?" on the morning of the election.
With the opening of the polls it became,
evident that the women meant
business and were aroused to their full
strength at last. They made a few mistakes
in permitting electioneering at the
polls but these were for the most part
overlooked in the novelty of the situation.
Many "girls voted for the three
H's alone. In all 986 votes were cast.
This shows an increase in school spirit
above the last election. Pauline Hutchison
received the highest number of
votes. Warner Poyhonen was the only
boy elected.

PRESIDENT WALDO OF
KALAMAZOO HONORED
President D. B. Waldo/of the Western
State Normal at Kalamazoo, Mich., was
honored at a luncheon held on June 17,
1924, by the members of the Rotary,
Kiwanis, Lions and Exchange clubs at
the banquet hall of the Masonic Temple
at Kalamazoo. The occasion was the
twentieth anniversary of the Western
State Normal Shcool, of which Mr. Waldo
has been president since its founding.
The different speakers representing
the various clubs expressed high appre-ciaton
of the sincere efforts and devote?

ARMORY IS SCENE OF
NORMAL PARTY DANCE
Students Are Recovering From
Dance and Ma Jong.
A fair-sized crowd of Normalites gathered
at the Armory Wednesday evening,
July 2, to participate in a "get together
party" of the summer. Ma Jong was one
of the big features of the evening. To
see the Ma Jong hounds haunt the
tables was indeed interesting, and to
hear them plead for just one more
chance to be "East Wind' was a keen
source of amusement These sharks
would be able to break the bank at
Monte Carlo in one night, they ran up
such huge scores.
Games were another source of amusement,
but of course dancing was the big
hit of "the' evening. It was a successful
affair and no one that atended regretted
the fact that he came.

Shakespeare's Question
Is Finally Answered^
There are 1247 students enrolled in the
Normal Shool for the summer session.
Of this number 175 are men All of the
students are now catalogued; the women
in the Dean of Women's office and the
men in Mr. Davis' office. Twenty-five
Normal students are at the Friday Harbor
Biological station.
Shakespeare said, "What's in a
name?" Much has been found in the
names of the Normal students. That variety
is the spice of life seems to be
proven on the campus; for not only are
-there school teachers but with them are
' found three Bakersj two Cooks, two Butlers,
six Millers, a Farmer, a Barber; a
Porter, a Tanner, a Plummer, a dozen
Smiths, a Shepard, some Kings, several
Marshalls, a Copp and a Driver.
