cWxYf\ VOL XXXVIX—NO. 9 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Wednesday November 22, 1939 simple simonds Junior Chamber of Commerce THANKSGIVING thanksgiving is here a week early. Credit for this goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He,has seen fit to declare Thanksgiving a week early, probably to give you one more week in which to recover for Christmas. But can we be sure of Christmas falling on December 25? It always has, or that is, it has for quite a few years. Enough for me to grow accustomed to it. But with all this tradition-juggling going one, one can't be certain. Despite F. D. R/s decree of November 23, about half of the states are sticking to the thirtieth. Some are being a bit piggish and are observing both days,: - I for one favor the traditional day set by Abraham Lincoln (a president of the United States). For years the populace has been able to survive the horrible ordeal of having only four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now I know that a gradual degradation of the human race has been going on (characterized by a dropping away of the • brain and the eating of small holes in the liver) and that undoubtedly I am not as sturdy physically as they. But t want to stick to the thirtieth. V RETARDED PERCEPTION . A farmer found a shivering little quadruped which he i n n o c e n t l y enough thought to be a rabbit. He took it home and gave it to an animal loving friend of his. Last week the "rabbit" . won a blue ribbon at the. eighth annual Westchester Cat Show. This type of individual is very interesting, making a good inmate for an asylum or a good member for any baseball team. V HOMECOMING Well, here it is a week after Homecoming but I'm sure you can all remember it. After all, you are college students now, and should be able to recall things like that. Congratulations are due to Murray Healy and his "cohorts" for their excellent organization of festivities. Also to Don Bushell for bringing together the Mt. Baker, Lynden, and WWC bands for the game. And to the team for "their inspiring game, with laurels to Stan Targus., To Sponsor Dance Similar Projects to Promote Co-operative Spirit Between School and City Part of a plan by the Juniqr Chamber of Commerce to promote friendliness between the local schools and the City of Bellingham, a Thanksgiving Eve dance will be held tonight at 10 p. m., at the Golf club, Guide Meridian road. Mel McKee's orchestra will play and Shirley Folsom and Margo Puller, 1939 queens of Bellingham high and WWC, will be honor guests. The. dance is not a money-making project and tickets cay be obtained from any Junior Chamber member at the nominal price of $1.10. Burton Kingsbury, local lawyer, is president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored a successful tour of the city for WWC freshmen in September. r 'Homecoming' Beckons WWC Grads 1939 Homecoming, carried out last -week-end under the chairmanship of Murray Healy, was one of the : most-successf uT ever held' at WWC." More than 350 alumni returned during the course of the week-end to attend the many scheduled events. Beginning with the skit assembly Friday, grads were welcomed back. The football team was presented by Coach Lappenbusch with the traditional football booklet, termed this year, "Philbert's Phootball Phool-osophy," and students gave the team a good send-off with cheers and songs. Rousing spirit was shown at the pep trek Friday night as students, some in cars and trucks, braving the drenching rain, paraded down the hall and through .the streets of the city. Torches and flying confetti marked the path which led finally to the student rally at the banfire prepared by faithful freshmen. Over 200 Parents Attend College With approximately 225 parents in attendance, the Parent's day tea held last Sunday afternoon was a huge success, according to Dr. Merle Kuder, who was in charge of the affair. Parents from Tacoma, Bremerton, Seattle,, and other southern cities were in attendance. The parents interviewed the faculty and got acquainted with the college in general. Final Examinations Coming Up Final exams are coming up. With approximately fifteen school days left in this quarter, the students, with keen anticipation, are beginning to look forward to the "happy" days of finals. No definite schedule has as yet been received, but most of the exams will come during the last two weeks of this quarter, some possibly before that time. There are yet many gala affairs to take place between now and the beginning of Christmas vacation, December 16. Various teas, banquets, and other socials, plus some well-planned assemblies will relieve the atmosphere between now and the examination zero hours. 'Leave It Here' * *_^* * Presented * * *_* In Blue Room i Faculty Members Banquet Guests Fifty-seven faculty members willbe among the guests Friday night at the Chamber of Commerce banquet honoring the seven members of the Washington State Progress Commission... Charles F. Larrabee is the Bellingham representative. The dinner is to be held at 6:45 at the Leopold Hotel. Eric A. Johnston, Spokane commission member, will be the principal speaker. Six Prominent Students In WhoYWho Schaus, Daley, Newell, Weber, Courtney, Sweingruber, Chosen By Faculty Committee Tuesday Selection of Frances Daley, Kath-ryn Newell, Dorothy Schaus, Wayne Weber, Dale Courtney, and Bill Schweingruber to represent Western Washington college in the 1939- '40 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges," was made late yesterday afternoon by a committee consisting of Dr. Merle Kuder, registrar, Dean of Women Florence Johnson, and Dean of Men Loye McGee. The students were selected for the Who's Who, which is published annually through the cooperation of all American universities and colleges, on the basis of activities, their number and importance, scholarship, and personality. Selection was made after much deliberation by the committee, who had two meetings before making their choices. Norsemen Display A typical family who never keep up with the Jonses, the hilarious group that appear in Victor H. Hoppe's forthcoming production "You Can't Take It With You," to be presented November 30 to December 2, in the Edens Hall Blue room. Prexy Reveals Marked Gain Of Five Years The last five years have witnessed a steady increase in student teachers at WWC, President W. W. Haggard revealed at the monthly meeting of the hoard of trustees last Wednesday evening. In comparison with the 228 enrolled in 1934-35, about 300 will do student teaching this year. Sixty students are teaching under supervision this fall in the campus training school and city schools. President Haggard indicated that the increase has been due largely to the increased enrollment, new certificate requirements, and the $1,200 minimum wage of Washington teachers. The black-topping of Edens hall drive was considered at the trustee meeting. Anticipating the possible construction of a vault in the registrar's office, an option was taken on a vault door.. Conference Planned A three-day conference at WWC under the National Planning Council is being planned for. July 1,-2, and 3, the college president announced Monday. An effort is being made to secure a leading American educator to deliver the principal speech. The conference will be open to students and faculty. In attendance will be school administrators from many western Washington schools. The National Planning Council is an organization dedicated to education, planning, and administration problems. Its director, Dr. Kenneth O. Warner, will be present at the conference. House Display Prize Won by Edwards Edwards hall will hold the trophy for the house displays for the Homecoming of 1939. Edwards' display was an aerial bombing of the El-lensburg Wildcats with Coach Lappy in the plane. Second went to Daniels hall, honorable mention to Har-borview. • The judging was Friday between 4 p.m. and 6 p. m. by the committee composed of Victor Hoppe, Dr. Paul Grim, and Miss Rhoda Landrym. Weighing their decision heavily, the judges of the Homecoming window displays awarded the Norsemen first prize of $5. Their display at the National Barber Shop was a realistic replica of the Homecoming game made entirely of pipe cleaners. It had a background of a large "W" made of blue and white hats. The Blue Triangle club had a display at Horn-Whitson showing an ivy-covered replica of the college and campus with the co-eds welcoming back the grads. The Music Education club had a diplay at Thiel &. Welter showing the band marching. It was also of pipe cleaners. The displays were indicative of a great deal of work and contributed much to the successful Homecoming spirit. The student body and the publicity committee thanks these clubs for their co-operation in making the grads feel welcome. Governor Martin Main Speaker Of Homecoming Luncheon Governor Clarence D. Martin, main speaker at the Homecoming luncheon at Edens hail last Saturday, was introduced by President W. W. Haggard. The governor opened his speech by expressing his delight at being asked to the WWC Homecoming and said that this was his third Homecoming celebration this year. He attended the celebration at Cheney, his home town and alma mater, where he said there were more people than ever before. "It is a pleasure to co-operate with this institution," said Governor Martin as he suggested the need of additional buildings on the campus, and he continued, "I'm proud of the colleges of education in this state." He mentioned the fact that this year is the 50th anniversary of the statehood of Washington and that the scenery in this state is -something of which to be proud. He stated that the young people do not appreciate the schools and scenery as much as they should. "There's only one thing needed in America," said Governor Martin, "and that's more of it. It's a privilege to be in the northwest country —it's a privilege to be in America." The governor concluded his speech by saying, "May the best team win today."
