^fs^^jiJ^P^fW^P-^^ VOL. XXX—NO. 35 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTON Normalite ORDER CHANGETH FIRST IMPRESSIONS WE MISSED IT ADIOS By Jack Gudmundson "The old order changes, yielding place to new." Now that gradua-tion is over, new faces fill the halls and old faces wonder at the change and strangeness of things. Up here in The Viking office a tomb-like atmosphere pervades—pardon, new scribes, bat it is just a mood of one who wonders at the passing of things. It is a far cry to kings, but— "Though a king may die with his gilded name, Why, hogs and men go on the same" Impressions of the first day of the-summer session: A full library. Battle scarred grads with the wounds ^bi the field. Rosy lipped freshmen seated with what might be a mother, father or at least a Dutch uncle. A mood of weariness on the Prof's brow on resuming the 999 lecture and hearing the same questions and answers. Miss Erickson's infinite tact and patience. Mr. Marquis, the liberating influence. The way of a man and a maid. Wonder if— The ghosts of former students haunt the halls. Profs tire of listening to experiences from the field. Profs feel the emptiness of the years as the class of 1910 re-enters for a third year diploma. Kibbe will ever write a book. Dr. Miller reads Dorothy Parker. Behold these red and stately walls of the Normal school! And yet by a sheer twist of Fate did you miss the agony of pursuing your learned ways in an architectural sanctum of balconies, flowing facades, and pulsating pillars. When the fathers met in conclave to determine the style of this factory of learning in the year 1896, a heated debate ensued between those who wished to trap the spirit of the age in poetical curving architecture, and the more conservative element. The result was our dignified Alma Mater, good for a thousand generations. And yet one can't but think on the spectacle a few years hence, when pedagogues will trip these cloistered walks in beach pajamas and laugh at hoary old Klipsuns depicting the years of trailing gowns swathed about prim old maids. Speaking; of beach pajamas—in our more perverted moments we sometimes wonder at the peculiar psychology that prompts their wearing. Exeunt that chorus of comfort and freedom, we shall grant the point, and wonder nevertheless. Some wise man once observed that all dress in nature had its point, and hard' indeed is the male who doesn't experience some reaction when "this swims, info his ken." Give me a pa jama sister, one with a cosmic urge! INGRATTrUDE Your little lips, So soft and kind; Your little, little. Little mind. When the curtain rings down on the last scene, even the most fortified feels a pang. And since this colyum marks the "30" of my time on The Viking, I, too, sense an emp-t ty and desolate feeling., After eight quarters spent or misspent around the mess of things known as The Viking office, I feel a wave of reminesence coming on, and that would be a bit of childish ignoraiq^ce.

Smith conducted the singing of school songs, "Alma Mater," "The White and Blue," and "Sing a Song." The last, a new song composed by Oliver and Jack Gudmon-" son, is a late addition to the school song list. President Fisher's address followed and in it he emphasized the necessity of play as well as work during the summer quarter. He referred to ' the excellent recreational program which has been prepared for the benefit of the student body for this period. Need Background He stated further that "a teacher must have background"; that it is the aim and purpose of this institution to "give an education as good as can be received in any school," not only in the mechanics of technique and education, but also in such subjects as will enlighten and enrich the life of the teacher—a liberal education as well as a professional one." To quote further: "Education of children must go on—must be not only maintained at its present level but improved in times like these. Causes and remedies of hard times are many. We are depending too much on the material things and not enough on mind and spirit. Only through enlightenment and enrichment of life will we find our way out. No Short Methods " "People have a childlike confidence in the school's ability to help them realize their aims for their children, and we can discharge our obligation to society only by better education." SINGERS ARE COMING MILWAUKEE GLEE CLUB WILL SING HERE ON JUNE 30. The students of the Bellingham Normal school are looking forward to perhaps the most outstanding musical event of the coming year.

TWO INSTRUCT that the Indian artist Tsianina (Chi-nee-na) would be unable to give her program. Three local musicians were solicited to fill in this opening. The trio being used this morning will be composed of Mr. John Roy Williams,' Maude Williams and Mr. Paul Lusterman. They will play the violin, piano, and cello, respectively. Two Instruct, Here Mr. Williams and Mr. Lusterman are special instructors on the Normal faculty, and also teach music to pupils about the city and county. Lusterman has been leading band work at Blaine for some time, while Williams had charge of the pit band at the Mount Baker theater during the recent showings of a musical comedy there. Much regret was expressed by many over the announcement that the Indian singer would be unable to appear. She is a Cherokee-Creek Indian and has been delighting audiences all over with her talent. Outstanding Today Tsianina (pronounced Chi-nee-na) a Cherokee-Creek Indian woman, gave a program of vocal music in assembly this morning. She has a pleasing personality and a voice of beautiful quality, and was well received by her/ audience. Tsianina is not noted for her voice alone. She is probably the most outstanding Indian woman today in general education and in work for the advancement of her people, as well as in music. She was educated in the government schools and the College of Oklahoma and in a private finishing school. For her services during the World war she was cited by the United States government. She is now an active member of the American Legion. . o STUDENTS STAY AT LOVEGREN HOME Ruby Persohn, La Vita Smart, Violet Waech, and Irene Larson, all of Tacoma, are making their home with Mrs. May Lovegren this summer.

Lecture Recital Mrs. Van Ogle will present a rare treat in the form of a lecture-recital of the play, "Pierre Loti/' With the play is heard incidental music by Pierne, as played by the accompanst, Mrs. Lawrence Bogle. As fits one of such great talent, Mrs. Van Ogle has spent much of her time studying abroad in England and on the continent in Berlin, Liepzig, and Paris. o— BOARD ANNOUNCES DOUBLE REC HOUR STUDENTS WILL ELECT NEW FOUR QUARTER MEMBER. Announcement of a double Rec hour tonight was one of the first bits of action taken ny the Board of Control this quarter at its meeting last Tuesday afternoon in the Student Association offices. Three of the members were absent from the meeting. Faculty Adviser A. E. Bond, who was on a leave of absence last quarter, was uiiable to attend, nor was Howard Wilder or Elsie O'Donnell. Wilder was not present, due to the fact that he is resigning from serving his fourth term of office. Elected in Fall He was elected last fall for the four quarter post, and served two quarters of it. He was not in school last quarter, and was to have become active again this summer. Faculty duties, though, have forced him to hand in his resignation, which was accepted Thursday. The Rec hour tryouts will be held a week from tonight, with the rules drawn up last quarter applying to those submitting application for the summer work. Tew Will Play The task of selecting a band for the dance tonight was left to the president, Colin Campbell. He later announced that Bob Tew's band, holders of last quarter's job, would play for this first dance. The secretary was also asked to post the petitions for the election to take place at next Friday's assembly. At that, time there will be two one-quarter representatives to the Board of Control elected. One will serve out the remaining time on Wilder's term, while the other will, take the regular one-quarter post, used every summer quarter to make up for the term vacated by the three-quarter representative before the year is completed. o DRAMA PLAY CHOSEN "TO THE LADIES" WILL BE THE NEXT PRODUCTION SHOWN. RUNNING F O R M E CANTO BOARD POSTS ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY TO, SELECT TWO OFFICERS, PETITIONS NOT FILLED "To the Ladies," a satire on the American business man, has been chosen as the play to be presented by the Drama Club this quarter. The play, which has only been released to amateurs this spring, was written by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly, the latter being the author of "Green Pastures." The play will be given two nights, Tuesday and. Wednesday, July 28 and 29, according to Miss Jennie Waugh, who is a special instructor in dramatics during Mr. Hbppe's absence. Reports late yesterday stated that there are six candidates oh the petitions for the selection of two one quarter representatives to the Board of Control. At the time none of the petitions were completely filled, although one needed only a lone signer and will probably reach the quota soon. One Week Away The election will be held during the first part of the assembly hour one week from today. In the meantime the students will have a chance to nominate from the floor, as well as by petition. It is necessary that each petition carry a minimum of twenty-five signers. Those listed at present are: Lay-ton Buzzard, Lyle Summers, M. D. Sjtewarfy Gillie Thordarson, Car-rianna Tucker, and Willis George. Lyle Summers held the presidential chair on the Board of Control during the 1929-30 tenure.. He also served as a one quarter representative last summer. Wilder Resigns One of these openings is due to the fact that Howard "Dutch" Wilder will be unable to attend the meetings this summer, and his resignation has already been accepted. There is also a one. quarter representative each summer to fill out the three quarter gap. _ o— • HIKERS WILL CLIMB LOOKOUT SATURDAY Saturday, June 20, promises to be a big day for those interested in hiking. An all-day trip up Lookout Mountain is planned and will start at 8 a. m. with a stage trip from the campus to Lake Samish, from which point footpower will be the means of locomotion. It is stated that the view justifies the effort expended, as Lookout is one of the highest points in this locality, having an elevation of 3,600 feet. From the top five lakes are visible, Samish, Padden, Whatcom, Wiser, and Lost Lake, besides Bellingham Bay. There is a good view of Baker and surrounding mountains. Hikers will provide their own lunches and cups, and the stage fare will amount to about 60 cents. / Requirements Made Students planning to take the trip up Mount Baker later in the summer must take two of the evening and two of the Saturday hikes, although other trips may be substituted if the committee sees fit. Mr. E. A. Bond is chairman of the recreation committee and will be able to supply desired information. - • -1 — o - — - —' Y.W.C.A.

Two Instruct, Here Mr. Williams and Mr. Lusterman are special instructors on the Normal faculty, and also teach music to pupils about the city and county.

She has a pleasing personality and a voice of beautiful quality, and was well received by her/ audience. Tsianina is not noted for her voice alone. She is probably the most outstanding Indian woman today in general education and in work for the advancement of her people, as well as in music. She was educated in the government schools and the College of Oklahoma and in a private finishing school. For her services during the World war she was cited by the United States government. She is now an active member of the American Legion. . o STUDENTS STAY AT LOVEGREN HOME Ruby Persohn, La Vita Smart, Violet Waech, and Irene Larson, all of Tacoma, are making their home with Mrs. May Lovegren this summer.

Announcement of a double Rec hour tonight was one of the first bits of action taken ny the Board of Control this quarter at its meeting last Tuesday afternoon in the Student Association offices. Three of the members were absent from the meeting. Faculty Adviser A. E. Bond, who was on a leave of absence last quarter, was uiiable to attend, nor was Howard Wilder or Elsie O'Donnell. Wilder was not present, due to the fact that he is resigning from serving his fourth term of office. Elected in Fall He was elected last fall for the four quarter post, and served two quarters of it. He was not in school last quarter, and was to have become active again this summer. Faculty duties, though, have forced him to hand in his resignation, which was accepted Thursday. The Rec hour tryouts will be held a week from tonight, with the rules drawn up last quarter applying to those submitting application for the summer work. Tew Will Play The task of selecting a band for the dance tonight was left to the president, Colin Campbell. He later announced that Bob Tew's band, holders of last quarter's job, would play for this first dance. The secretary was also asked to post the petitions for the election to take place at next Friday's assembly. At that, time there will be two one-quarter representatives to the Board of Control elected. One will serve out the remaining time on Wilder's term, while the other will, take the regular one-quarter post, used every summer quarter to make up for the term vacated by the three-quarter representative before the year is completed. o DRAMA PLAY CHOSEN "TO THE LADIES" WILL BE THE NEXT PRODUCTION SHOWN. RUNNING F O R M E CANTO BOARD POSTS ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY TO, SELECT TWO OFFICERS, PETITIONS NOT FILLED "To the Ladies," a satire on the American business man, has been chosen as the play to be presented by the Drama Club this quarter. The play, which has only been released to amateurs this spring, was written by George Kaufman and Marc Connelly, the latter being the author of "Green Pastures." The play will be given two nights, Tuesday and. Wednesday, July 28 and 29, according to Miss Jennie Waugh, who is a special instructor in dramatics during Mr. Hbppe's absence. Reports late yesterday stated that there are six candidates oh the petitions for the selection of two one quarter representatives to the Board of Control. At the time none of the petitions were completely filled, although one needed only a lone signer and will probably reach the quota soon. One Week Away The election will be held during the first part of the assembly hour one week from today. In the meantime the students will have a chance to nominate from the floor, as well as by petition. It is necessary that each petition carry a minimum of twenty-five signers. Those listed at present are: Lay-ton Buzzard, Lyle Summers, M. D. Sjtewarfy Gillie Thordarson, Car-rianna Tucker, and Willis George. Lyle Summers held the presidential chair on the Board of Control during the 1929-30 tenure.. He also served as a one quarter representative last summer. Wilder Resigns One of these openings is due to the fact that Howard "Dutch" Wilder will be unable to attend the meetings this summer, and his resignation has already been accepted. There is also a one. quarter representative each summer to fill out the three quarter gap. _ o— • HIKERS WILL CLIMB LOOKOUT SATURDAY Saturday, June 20, promises to be a big day for those interested in hiking. An all-day trip up Lookout Mountain is planned and will start at 8 a. m. with a stage trip from the campus to Lake Samish, from which point footpower will be the means of locomotion. It is stated that the view justifies the effort expended, as Lookout is one of the highest points in this locality, having an elevation of 3,600 feet. From the top five lakes are visible, Samish, Padden, Whatcom, Wiser, and Lost Lake, besides Bellingham Bay. There is a good view of Baker and surrounding mountains. Hikers will provide their own lunches and cups, and the stage fare will amount to about 60 cents. / Requirements Made Students planning to take the trip up Mount Baker later in the summer must take two of the evening and two of the Saturday hikes, although other trips may be substituted if the committee sees fit. Mr. E. A. Bond is chairman of the recreation committee and will be able to supply desired information. - • -1 — o - — - —' Y.W.C.A.
