Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL. XX BELLINGTAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1921 NO. 36 TRIP T O M OCEAN J. J. As the Indianapolis left the dock Sat-j urday morning the anticipations of the various passengers were many and varied. Some were looking forward to a quiet companionable time with their chosen friends; some were determined that not one bit of choice scenery would they miss; others, on pleasure bent, were decided that they would cause and enjoy as much merriment among everyone as - possible. And everyone was asking himself the question, "shall I be seasick?" The weather was perfect and as the boat left Bellingham. Bay the majestic shape of Mt. Baker was the principal scenic attraction. Later, the gigantic Olympics loomed big to the south while on the north the rugged Canadian mountains were sharply outlined against the clear sky. In the east, peaks of the Cascade range could be seen. Mt. Rainier hovered like a cloud on the horizon far to the southeast and even the tiptop of Mt. Adams was glimpsed by a few of the most alert watchers. The course of the Indianapolis lay south of the San Juan Islands and from there followed closely the Canadian shore toward the Pacific. In a surprisingly short time the boat was opposite the site of Victoria, a typically English town nestling among the hills. The observatory and wireless station on the hillside was one of the most noticeable spots seen from the boat. The next point of interest was Race Rocks, a small group of large rocks on which there is a lighthouse. After this place was passed the motion of the boat as it rode the swells became more marked. Many believed that they were very near the ocean, but the purser calmly informed them that it would be three hours yet before the actual ocean would be reached. An exhilirating experience was felt by a large number of people who found places as near the bow of the boat as possible. To watch the boat cut the water, to see the swells before they could be felt, to dip with the nose of the boat into the very bottom of a wave and to ride with it to the very top were sensations which alone were well worth the whole trip. As the boat drew near the ocean proper the center of interest shifted from the scenery to the increasing motion of the boat, which rose and fell with much more pronounced steadiness and intensity* But there is no pleasure trip so pleasurable that it has no drawbacks. As the motion of the boat increased, so was the curiosity of those who had wondered whether or not they would be seasick, satisfied. In fact, the question was so emphatically answered in the affirmative to so many people that Mr. Bond, in his kindly sympathy for the many, disappointed the few by ordering that the course of the boat be reversed before it had proceeded as far as the ad^ vertised " out of sight of land" limit. As soon as the turn was made and the boat was headed with the swells instead of against them, the extreme rocking Stopped and the boat rode as smoothly as a rivet steamer. This caused the immediate recovery of most of the seasick ones. "Thfe course on the return trip was E Mr. J. J. Donovan, a prominent lumberman of this city, gave a spirited and interesting talk to the student body on Monday. He divided his time into three phases of reconstruction, material, spir-: itual and moral. He spoke of the material reconstruction from the point of view of a business man, and expressed the hope that the sanity and good will of the people will help solve the problems of unemployment, etc., which beset the nation today. He advised student's to take; time for religious affiliations, and to re-read the Constitution of the United States and realize the freedom and liberty that exists in our country. — B.S. N.S.-—- MEN'S BANQUET The Pheasant Tea Room was the scene of a most enjoyable banquet given by the men's organization of the Normal School last Tuesday evening. Covers were laid for fifty and at 5:30 all took their places at the tables in the artistically decorated dining room. The occasion was in the form of a get-together of the men and it afforded an opportunity for them to become better acquainted and to discuss problems of mutual interest to faculty and students. The dinner was served in three courses and music was furnished by an orchestra provided expressly for the occasion, which added to the spirit of the meeting. Mr. Coughlin led in the singing of several songs in which all most heartily joined. Between courses, Mr. Paul Thompson sang " The Rose of Picardy " which was well received and which led to the encore. Hobart Wiseman, president of the Men's Club, then called on each student to tell who he was and where he was from. This resulted in many witticisms and afforded much merriment. Mr. Miller acted as toastmaster and called upon Arthur Bowsher who extended greetings and stressed the making of the Normal a school for boys as well as girls. The value of friends and getting off your dignity and being more commonplace was Mr. Caskey's theme. The applause he received displayed the fact that' he struck a responsive chord. Mr. Harvey Leach made his debut as an after dinner speaker and he gave a few grams of wise counsel and good advice urging that men associate more with men, to ward off any chances of becoming effeminate. He even suggested a boycott of the girls. He will always be _on the reserve list of speakers for any school function. Mr. Bever in a very neat toast bespoke a more mutual understanding between faculty and students. The splendid spirit manifested between faculty and students should work much good in the school. Growth and Development of Bellingham Normal School IN TWENTY-TWO YEARS NORMAL HAS GROWN FROM A SMALL COACHING SCHOOL TO LARGE INSTITUTION practically the same as the outgoing one. As the boat drew up at the dock, more than an hour ah'sad of time, the sensations of the passengers as they dispersed •were as many and varied as they had been at the start, but all were sure that the trip had been worth while, and each one. had answered for himself the question, "ShaU I be seasick?" By MARGARET CLARK Twenty-two years ago, when this fair city Was not, and the little frontier towns of New Whatcom and Fairhaveri were struggling for supremacy, our State Legislature, realizing that higher education for teachers was necessary, appropriated money for the erection and maintenance of the New Whatcom State Normal School. Former Governor Rogers dedicated the building, and in September, 1899, the Normal opened its doors to the teachers and future teachers of the state. The faculty consisted of ten members; the student body two hundred. At that, time, our • beautiful campus was a virgin forest. The great tree, whose ivy-grown stump remains with us, towered far above its fellows and fed numerous squirrels with its yearly cone crop. Wild animals roamed over the Sehome hills, and we read that one of the Normal faculty shot a deer on the slopes of Chuckanut mountain. In other words, our Normal was a pioneer, who witnessed, not only the passing of the "bloomer girl" and the "square-toed :ans," but the retreat of the wild, and ;he final uniting of the rival towns on Bellingham Bay, into the city of Bell-ngham. Although Bellingham is the youngest )f Washington's three Normal Schools, t is the largest, and may we not say, jy its students, at least, the best loved school in the state? Its growth has been steady and sure, and though the building is now three times as large as it was in the beginning, it is too small to accommodate the ever increasing seek-srs of Normal training. Perhaps the reason for this growth may be traced to the fact that Bellingham citizens are proud of the school and make the students feel at home in their town; the instructors are loyal; the presidents have been men of the highest type, and the students have interest in their work and school. Dr. Mathes, the first president, served for fifteen years. His interest Was tin-failing, and upon his work, rests the foundation of the school. Upon his retirement the state certainly chose the right man —Dr. Nash, our present president, counselor and friend, who has been the head of the institution since 1914, and has ever proved his ability, vision and true worth. Of the teachers who composed the original faculty, one still remains — Miss Catherine Montgomery. Miss Ida Baker, one of the beloved old teachers, passed away last year. The first summer term was held in 1900. It was a tuition affair, held for the purpose of coaching teachers for state examinations. It is interesting, also, to note that assembly has always been held at 10 o'clock; that blue and White were the original colors, and that the school song, "White and Blue," was composed by Miss Hogel, a former member of the faculty. Every member of the school in the early years was compelled to take some form of spelling. This was one of the customs, which should never have been dropped. In those early years, board and room averaged $3.50 per week, which is about half the present rate. The library opened with one thousand volumes, and the seating capacity was eighty students. The statement was noted that a faculty member in passing through this library at 5 P. M. saw twenty-five students hard.at work! Mention is made of the fact that four hundred books were taken from the circulation library monthly. Today the library contains over 22,- 000 volumes, about 150 current magazines and newspapers, and one of the finest juvenile libraries in the West. There are more than 400 books taken from the reserved section alone each day. It may well be said that this library is run on the basis of service and honor, and that a fine of any sort has never been imposed upon a student using the library since the arrival of Miss Wilson, the present efficient librarian. The juvenile Hbrary contains a complete library for each grade below high school, and is managed by students of the institution, who work here for practice and credit. If a member of the faculty should care to walk through the library today, a 5 P. M. he should probably find every one of the three hundred seats occupied by energetic students. The graduating class of 1901 presented the school with a statue, " The Winged Goddess of Victory." This statue stands in the main library; look at it, and get some inspiration for. the coming week. Twenty-four students graduated from elementary courses the first year at the school; this past June 197 teachers received their diplomas. The present year has been the largest in the history o fthe institution. Thirty classrooms are in constant use; fifty-six teachers on the regular staff, and an attendance of nearly twelve hundred. The first " Messenger " was published in December, 1899. It was a quarterly, and sold for forty cents per year. The first editor was Bessie Griggs. In an editorial of that paper we find that the Messenger had two purposes for being: " To establish a means of communication between the school and those interested, and to put into permanent form the best work, and thought of the school." Let us hope that these two purposes are still- being.:followed.; ' ,-.~
