Studies In New York
"Miss Kangley finds her work in
Columbia university extremely in­teresting
and she is thoroughly en­joying
it", states Miss Anna Ullin,
of the English department.
Lucy Kangley, who is a teacher
in the English department here, is
attending Columbia university this
year as a result of winning a fellow­ship.
She will be in New York un­til
May, completing the year at the
university.
"Miss Kangley is working exten­sively
with Joseph Wood Krutch,
the critic, and also with Robert
Frost, famous poet', says Miss Ullin.
"Bring every instrument for mak­ing
noise that you can beg, borrow,
or . . . and be prepared to yell loud­er
than you ever have before,"
directs Ladd Shangle general chair­man
of the 1935 Homecoming festiv­ities,
in anticipation of the serpen­tine
and rally scheduled for this
evening. Led by yell leaders Ken­neth
Wickstrom and Severn Koski,
the students will serpentine through
the business district and then hold
their rally at the intersection of
Cornwall and Holly streets.
A new feature of the serpentine
will be the addition of floats dec­orated
by the organized houses. The
line will be led by the American
Legion drum and bugle corps and
will include a sound truck and the
pep band.
The line of march will be down
Holly to Cornwall, up Cornwall to
Magnolia and back up Cornwall to
Holly where the procession will
form a circle and hold the rally.
The program there will include
school songs and yells as well as
more music from the bands. Stu­dents
will then return to the school
for the bonfire.

Corsages and What They Mean to Us;
Opinions Given by Well-known Students
With all campus conversations
the following leaders were heard
to their appropriatenss at school
DOLLY ANDERSON, president of
Houses Sprucing
For Homecoming
Nope, the organized houses
are not trying to rush the
Christmas season. Look clos­er.
Ahhhhh! a light. They're
decorated for the gayest time
on the hill-top calendar. Yes
siree, you've guessed it. All
the ' houses are sprucing up
for Homecoming.
The presidents of these
houses decided that they
would, the same as in former
years, brighten up the domi­ciles
with the traditional
crepe paper and goal posts.
In addition to all this annu­al
splendor, many of the
houses will enter floats in the
rally scheduled for this eve­ning.
..Kenny Wickstrom, chairman
of the house committee, says
that banners will be awarded
to the house displaying the
best decorations and the house
exhibiting the best float.
centering about the humble gardenia
making definite statements in regard
program dances.
Women's League:
I think that the matter of cor­sages
is entirely a, matter of taste
and finances. A lellow can show
his appreciation at being invited
in numerous other ways. However,
corsages are a source of joy to any
girl, and if a man can send one,
be it ever so small, he has added
a great deal to the success of the
evening.
BILL FRENDER, president of the
W club:
Some people expect everything
for nothing! If a man accepts a
girl's invitation to an informal he
should plan to pay for transpor­tation
and also a corsage if he can
afford it.
HELEN SCOTT, president of Edens
hall:
Why shouldn't things be fifty-fifty?
So. far they've been rather
one-sided the women sponsoring the
majority of the affairs. Perhaps
one Tolo dance a year could be
arranged and, the girls take full re­sponsibility
for the finances. . Men
should remember that courtesy and
chivalry are still appreciated by
women.

Representing a Swedish commis­sion
on education, Dr. Oscar Ols-son,
a teacher of Swedish literature
in the Normal college at Linkop-ing,
Sweden, visited Bellingham
Normal last Tuesday.
The commission is sending Dr.
Olsson to the United States to study
progressive education. Besides be­ing
an educator, he has been a
member of the Swedish parliament
since 1913.
During his stay here, the dele­gate
paid a visit to the library and
the training school. After attending
the student assembly Tuesday, he
was guest at the luncheon given at
Edens hall in honor of Miss Olga
Steeb.
In addressing students and faculty
members at the luncheon Olsson re­viewed
his chief interest, adult edu­cation.
He commented that in Swe­den
adult education has been de­veloped
so that men may make a
better living, while in America the
function of adult education is to en­able
men to live a better life.

"Have you seen the cartoons?"
is the question which is going from
student to student. Under auspices
of the American Legion and with

committee several prominent show
windows about town are displaying
Homecoming posters.
A descriptive cartoon is in the
windows of the Standard Auto ga­rage,

"Modern Music" was the subject
of discussion last Tuesday evening
when the Alkisiah club met in the
Edens Hall Club room. Helen Lock-ert
gave a short sketch of the his­tory

Great Battle Is

Wildcat Squad
Ellensburg Team Has Undefeated
Record for This Year's Football
Engagements
Norsemen In Readiness
Coach Promises Football Fans an
Exciting Exhibition
An undefeated team of Ellensburg
Wildcats will be the opponents of
the Vikings as a feature of the
twelfth annual Homecoming. The
game will be played at Battersby
field and will start at 2:00. The
American Legion, who is handling
the publicity for the game, promises
the largest crowd in the history of
the school.
Coach "Chuck" Lappenbusch of
Bellingham, will present his strong­est
lineup tomorrow in an effort to
topple the favorite Ellensburg
squad from the ranks of the unde­feated.
Comparative scores rate the
Wildcat team much stronger than
the Vikings, but Coach Lappen­busch
promises to dish out some sur­prises
for the Homecoming gridiron
fans.
Ellensburg Unbeaten
A review of the Ellensburg sched-ule
shows that the Wildcats have
beaten the Washington State Frosh,
University of Washington Fresh­men,
Pacific Lutheran college, and
other teams, without a single IB-verse.
In their game with Cheney
Normal, the Wildcats held them to
a scoreless tie, while Bellingham
lost to the same team.
Bellingham, who will be seeking
its first victory over the Wildcats
since 1925, has had a mediocre sea­son
so far, but a win in the Home­coming
battle would make the 1936
season quite presentable.
"A traditional battle, such as \re
are facing tomorrow, may have any­thing
happen: We realize we are
up against a tough team, but the
Vikings are in perfect shape and
have pointed to this game all sean
son. Bellingham has a good chance
of winning", the Viking mentor said
when asked about the prospects of a
victory.

Pianist Decides Career at Early Age;
Reveals Secret of Memorizing Ability
"I heard a concert when I was seven years old and made up my
mind to go on the concert stage. I have never wavered from my decis­ion,"
declared Olga Steeb, famous pianist who played for the assembly
Tuesday morning.
Miss Steeb, who began studying
music at the age of five, and played
in public during her first year of
study, has been a student in Ger­many,
England and New York City,
and has traveled all over Europe and
North America in her concert work.
She plans to tour South America
and Japan soon. "I understand
that the Japanese are very much
interested in western music," Miss
Steeb explained.
"When I memorize a piece of
music, I analyze it, finding the feel­ing
or reason behind each motif
or pattern. When I have once
learned something, my mind does
not forget it, but my fingers do,"
says Miss Steeb, who is noted for
her excellent memory. "Memoriz­ing
music is about half mental and
half manual," she declared.
Three or four hours a day is the
usual amount of practice for this
well-known musician. Her after­noons
are spent in teaching piano
in her school in Los Angeles. In
her spare time, she plays golf, swims
and, climbs mountains.
