YOUNG PEOPLE STUDY
MUSIC FOR A YEAR
Miss Janice Turner, one of our last
year's students, lias arrived in Milan.
Accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Boucher, a
group of young people from Bellingham,
are studying music for a year in Milan.
They sailed from Montreal, Canada,
on the S. S. Saturna, early in August.
Leaving the Saturna at Glasgow, which
Miss Turner describes as having a great
deal of green gi-ass, rain and stone
houses. They went from there to Lock
Lamond. Sir Walter Scott's "Lady of
the Lake," was brought vividly to mind,
after seeing Lock Katrine, Ellen's Isle
and Ben Lommond.
Edinbourgh was interesting because
of the many historical associations. They
visited Edinbourgs Castle, Bobby Burn's
home; Holyrod Castle, the home of Mary
Queen of Scots; Lord Nelson's home and
the famous St. Giles Cathedral.
During her stay in London, Miss Tur­ner
visited the South Kensington Gar­dens,
Hampton Court, which was the
home of King Henry VIII, the Victoria

VOICED IN LETTER
Bellingham State Normal School,
Oct. 3, 1922.
To Editor of "The Weekly Messenger."
I believe I am only, one among the
nine hundred who woiild be made hap­pier
to see some modern traffic rules be­come
effective in the halls of the Normal
building. I know that in the average
grade school the children pass through
the halls with less confusion and fewer
collisions than here in the Normal. And
I am sure that most of us lose a great
deal of time in getting to the library,
classes, etc. by the mob formation that
goes in groups, often three or four oc­cupying
the entire hall and in no par­ticular
hurry to get anywhere; again
others are thoughtful enough to stand in
"clusters" talking of the weather and to
pass them requires gymnastic tactics.
Isn't it possible to start a "keep to
the right" movement, through the col­umns
of the Mesenger? It seems to me
it would be a great advantage to us all.
It has been said, time is the "stuff" life
is made of.

INITIAL GAME OF YEAR
Last Saturday at 2:30 o'clock, the Nor­mal
second team met the Fairhaven High
school eleven in the first practice game
of the season.
In the first quarter, Fairhaven had a
little the best of the game. - They made
consistent gains through the line and
around the ends, 'till the Normal squad
was forced back nearly to the goal line.
Hillier was forced to attempt a punt,
which was blocked, resulting in a safety
for Fairhaven;
The opening of the second quarter saw
the turn in the tide of the game. Hil­lier
kept up his tactics of straight line
bucks during almost all the first half.
The end of the period saw a touchdown
credited to our eleven.
