Shenenberger To Hold Editorship
Of School Weekly
Next Quarter
Class Receives Thanks
Students To Attend International
Relations Convention
That Ralph Shenenberger will
continue as editor of the Northwest
Viking during summer quarter was
decided by the Board of Control at
its last regular meeting Wednesday,
June 5. Shenenberger has edited
the weekly for the past two quarters
and previously served on the staff
as assistant business manager,
managing editor, and sports editor.
The proposed social calendar for
the school year of 1935-36 was pre­sented
to the Board by President
Gordon Millikan. It was accepted
by the Board with one alteration.
Because of the similarity of campus
day and the all-school picnic, the
group decided thai; the all-school
picnic should be struck from the so­cial
calendar. With this change,
the calendar was ready for the
consideration of the Faculty com­mittee
on student affairs.
School to be Represented
An invitation was recently re­ceived
from the Pacific Northwest
Institute of International Relations,
at Portland, Oregon, urging the
school to send as ceiegates to its
annual convention two students in­terested
in this work. The Board
considered this matter and voted to
send the delegates. It also recom­mended
that a committee of faculty
and students be appointed by the
Board to name the students who j

CHEERS!

CHARM
By Harry Goheen
Hearty greetings to my enormous
public. I have never written this
column before ("that's clear", I hear
you sneer), and probably never will
again, so this is undoubtedly the
best Normalite I'll ever write. In
spite of my inherent modesty I
can't help feeling rather important
writing a feature like this—do you
know that no less a person than
Arthur Brisbane gets paid a fabulous
sum for a column in the same spot
as this one in the Seattle P.-I. and
elsewhere?
Of especial interest to music lovers
was the Normal school assembly
last Friday. Tastefully costumed
in Russian dress, the Normal School
Women's chorus and the Belling-ham
Singers' club gave a delightful
program of Russian music. Parti­cularly
well received by the audi­ence
was the lovely interpretation
of the Russian folk song, "Kalinka".
Sue McMillan played a piano
piece.

I suggest for student persusal the
four volumes in the library entitled
"The International Jew". These
sane and sociologically well-founded
books are reprints (1921) of articles
which appeared in Henry Ford's
Dearborn Independent shortly after
the war. They are small books but
they are absolutely packed with sci­entific
facts.
It will give you pause to read
"How the Jews in the U. S. Conceal
Their Strength". You will be
shocked to learn how "Jewish Gam­blers
Corrupt American Baseball".
You will be horrified to read of
"Benedict Arnold (the traitor) and
His Jewish Aids at West Point" in
1780. Your blood will boil to learn
about "Jewish Hot-Beds of Bolshev­ism
in the U. S". and you will exult
with the Dearborn Independent
over the fact that "Dr. Levy, a Jew,
Admits His People's Error".

Now that the Men's club has ar­rayed
itself in its true colors, a
burning issue has presented itself.
(Continued on Page Four)
Because of failure of representa­tives
to attend two consecutive
meetings the following organiza­tions
have been dropped from the
Inter-club council; the freshman
class, the Junior-senior class, the
Men's club, the W club, the Social
Science club, the Thespian club, and
the Valkyrie club. These organiza­tions
will have to apply to the
faculty committee on student af­fairs
and the ICC for reinstate­ment.
When a club is dropped from the
council, it loses its status as an or­ganized
club of the school. It may
apply for reinstatement at the first
ICC meeting in the fall. These
clubs have also lost the privilege of
attending the fall nominating con­vention.
The rule of dropping the clubs
has been in effect for some time,
but has never been enforced be­fore.

Infirmary Nurse
Leaves for South
The Hospital is soon to have a
new woman in charge. Miss May
Mead, nurse, has been busy for the
past week, interviewing applicants
for the position. Mrs. Ella Woods
left May 28 for California.
Mrs. Woods came here 11 years
ago from Seattle, where she was
employed in a university fraternity
house. Before leaving she com­mented,
"I have enjoyed caring for
the student patients at all times,
and have found it a pleasure to co­operate
with Miss Mead".
Miss Margaret Reynolds, sister of
Mrs. Woods, is taking charge of the
hospital until a new practical nurse
Is appointed.
Pup Gets Favored
German-Minded Dog Sleeps
and Enjoys JSelf ..'
It has been suggested that a
puppy club be started in the
German class for all resident
and visiting dogs who suffer
from insomnia, devoted entire­ly
to the care of these animals.
One dog was treated, with
excellent results, during recita­tion
Monday. And not even
subjunctives disturbed his
slumbers.
When the bell rang, he rose
with the. students, stretched,
yawned, and ambled out as
though he'd been attending
class all quarter! Results, we
calls it!
Editor's note: Must have been
a dachshund.
Summer Assembly
Programs Planned
Kindschy Puppets Will Appear As
Special Feature
With a variety of musicians,
speakers, and the Kindschy Pup­pets,
the summer quarter assembly

University of Washington will lec­ture
on Finald July 5. Continuing
the musical programs will be Cor­nelius
Van Vliet, cellist, on July 9,
and Robert Crawford, baritone, on
July 12.
Dramatic readings with musical
accompaniment presented by Edith
and Alan Kopelson will offer variety
for the July 16 assembly. On July
19 students will hear Lucia Chag-non,
mezzo-soprano.
Dr. Thomas S. Barclay of Stan­ford
university will speak on July
23. As the last July assembly John

Art Exhibits To
Be Given Soon
Prints, Etching, And Photography
Will Have Showing Here
Next Quarter
Two art exhibits, one of block
prints and etchings and another of
photography, are to be featured
during' the summer quarter. The
block prints by Norma Bassett Hall
are unusual because they are done
in colors. The etchings are the
work of Arthur Hall.
Although the arrangements have
not been completed, the photo­graphy
exhibit by a young Seattle
artist, John Yaw, will probably also
be given. Miss Dorothy McHvain
who is making the arrangements,
says that his work is mostly plant
studies, which are very good. He
also does some portrait work.
The Campus Elementary School
Art exhibit was put up last Thurs­day
in the fourth, fifth, and sixth
grade rooms. It consists of the
best work each child has done dur­ing
the year. Some class projects,
such as mural paintings, a wall
hanging, block prints, and illustra­tions
of plays they have given this
year are on display.

Bob Roberts, former Normal
student and member of the Viking
staff, has recently been pledged to
the Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic
honorary. Roberts is now a student
at the University of Washington.

Plans For Building
Are Presented to
Federal Engineer
Government Appropriates Bigger
Grant for Fund; Construction
May Be Larger
In the nature of an application
for funds, plans for the new Physi­cal
Education building were submit­ted
to E. R. Hoffman, federal en­gineer
in charge of the PWA, by
President C. H. Fisher in Olympia
last Monday. From Olympia the
plans will be forwarded to Wash­ington,
D. C, for examination.
"Hoffman looked upon the plans
with favorable consideration", the
Prexy reveals, "but no work can be
done until returns are received
from Washington".
The Washington State Normal
school at Bellingham was the first
state school to request building ap­propriations
to complete its plans.
President Fisher reports that the
building, with accommodations for
both men and women, is even better
suited to the needs of this school
than former plans. The swimming
pool occupying the central part of
the three-unit building is five feet
wider than the U of W pool.
Because the Federal government
is allowing grants for 45 per cent
of the appropriations instead of 30
per cent, the original grant, a larger
building may be constructed. "If
the plans are approved in Washing­ton
and the fund appropriated, we
will have the best gymnasium for a
school of our size in the state",
Fisher comments.

Normal Instructor
Honored Recently
Columbia University Gives Award
Of One Year's Study
Miss Lucy Kangley, instructor in
the Normal's English department,
has been awarded a $1200 scholar­ship
in the Advanced School of Eu-ucation
of the Teachers' college,
Columbia university. This scholar­ship
will last for one year. It will
begin next September.
Miss Kangley has spent some
time at theXolumbia university and
at the University of Washington,
doing graduate work where she took
the degree of Master of Arts. In
1928 she took the position she now
holds at the Normal.
The scholarship was given by an
experimental group at the Colum­bia
university and was awarded as
the result of a nation-wide exam­ination
which could be taken by
anyone who had the proper quali­fications.
The judging was done on
the basis of the merits of the ex­amination
and also on the recom­mendations
of others. There were
14 similar awards given throughout
the United States.
Miss Kangley wishes to say that
she has never taught in the Seattle
schools, as was stated in another
newspaper article.

Canadian Singers
Here in Assembly
Presenting a widely varied pro­gram
of vocal numbers at the last
Tuesday morning assembly, the "Les
Voyageurs" ladies' trio from Van­couver,
B. C, appeared. The trio
was composed of Ester Silsby Kail-man,
soprano; Lorraine Gaston,
mezzo soprano; and Margaret Bor­land,
contralto. They were accom­panied
by Betty Cross at the piano.
All of these women were former
members of the original "Les Voy­ageurs".
Included in the program were
trio numbers, duets, and solos.
Some of the songs were from musi­cal
comedies, operas, Irish folk lore,
and Negro spirituals. Perhaps the
most fascinating: presentation on
the program was the "Medley from
the Sunny South" (Victor Harris).
Graduate Assembly Plans Include
Awarding of Freshman Cup
And Music Features
Mullen To Place Numeral

Commencement Activities
Besides the featured addresses of
President C. H. Fisher and Dr. G.
M. Weir, Minister of Education in

selections by the Normal orchestra
and several graduates. The exer­cises

and Thursday when the thirty-sixth
annual commencement will

Class day activities will begin at
10:00 Wednesday morning in the
Normal auditorium with an assem­bly
program by the graduates.
Genevieve Strain, class day assem­bly
chairman, has arranged the
program of music, speeches and
ceremonies.
Scholarship Cup to be Awarded
Assembly singing will open the
program, to be followed by the pre­sentation
of the freshman scholar­ship
cup by Roger Mullen, junior-senior
class president. A piano solo
by Christine Albers, choral readings
by Mildred Hoska, Betty Hunt,
Florence Ford and Peggy McKay,
President Fisher's talk, and group
singing will conclude the auditor­ium
entertainment.
From the auditorium the gradu­ates
will go directly to the campus.
Here Keith Sanford, class day
chairman, has arranged that the
traditional ceremonies, usually held
in the evening, will immediately fol­low
the assembly.
These ceremonies include presen­tation
of the key and book by Mul­len;
its acceptance by Oscar Star­lund,
sophomore class president;
the laying of the stone containing
the class numeral, 'Which will be
done by the junior-senior president;
and the aspirational address by
Lois Weeks.. The address this year
is in the form of a poem by Walt
Whitman instead of an original
composition as in former years.
Reception Planned by Faculty
Wednesday evening at 8:30 the
faculty will hold a reception for the
graduates, their parents and friends.
This will take place in the Blue
room at Edens hall. Decorat­ing
of this room is being done by
members of the freshman class.
Graduation exercises will open at
10:00 Thursday morning and the
program includes several pieces by
the Normal orchestra as well as the
regular graduation ceremonies.
The address will be given by Dr.
Weir. Verne Branigan, Mount Ver­non
member of the Board of Trus­tees,
will present the class their
diplomas.
Elden Bond Returns

E. A. Bond, has been a recent vis­itor
at Normal. Bond is a former
Normal student and has been at­tending
Columbia university. He
plans to leave Bellingham June 26.
He will return to Columbia to at­tend
summer school.
