Gradually I became aware that I was not alone in the room, for a weezened little man was standing by my side, asking me what it was that I so much desired. I said to him in a whisper, If it is in your power to do as you desire, please take me to where each of my classmates is tonight, that I may see how they are progressing.” Before I was quite through speaking he touched my shoulder and uttered some words which I did not understand. Gradually there came before my vision a great institution, white like marble, nestled among the beautiful hills of California. Entering and passing through long corridors, we met a young doctor. I had not the slightest idea that little man would introduce him as Lloyd Silver, but that’s just who it was. Lloyd reported great success in his profession and upon asking some of the patients about him, I found that he was a very able and much-loved physician. Stepping into one of the wards, my guide led me to the opposite side of the room where a doctor and a nurse were bending over the bed of a patient. As we neared they turned around and I recognized the sweet smile of Violet Irons and manly countenance of Howard Finke. Of course I was not surprised because I knew that wherever Howard was he would be sure to climb to the top. I was made happy when he told us that Violet was his best nurse. Before I wished, the scene was changed and I found myself in a cozy little cottage by the sea. My hostess was an old schoolmate, Berith Brown. I heard sweet music which seemed to be actually sung in the very room, although in reality it came from a thousand miles away—Station WEMC. The beautiful sacred hymn touched my heart as I listened and tried to remember where I had heard that voice before. The song was ended and we heard the announcer say that we had been listening to The Holy City,” sung by the noted soloist, Mildred Boyer. The next hour,” we were told, will be given over to the famous Evangelist Keith Gift. His sermon is entitled ' The New Eden,’ and will come to you from his Tabernacle on the corner of Sixth and Washington Streets.” As I listened, I remembered the good talks he used to give at W. W. A. My emotions were stirred as I saw familiar scenes which recalled to my mind the happy days I had spent at W. W. A. What could bring me back here, I won¬ dered, but my wondering ceased as I saw Harry Tupper who was following the traditions of the Tupper family and was the present farm manager of W. W. A. He informed us that Arnie Roberts who is now Art Editor of the Signs of the Times,” was visiting her parents who still live in Auburn. He also told us that if we could stay until chapel time we would hear her talk. We were on our way to the admin¬ istration building when I saw it no more. In its place stood the straw-covered hut of an African dwelling. In front of the low entrance stood an animated young woman, devotedly teaching a group of small African children . . . the gospel of Christ. I always knew that Goldie would become a missionary because in the academic days her many deeds were devoted to others. I wished to speak to her but instead of the mission scene I realized I was back in the United States at the nation’s capital, and instead of the little dispensary I had been visiting, I was at the (Continued on page 56) [14] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Away back in the mountains, jar up the heights he climbed, Up nearer God and heaven, up nearer things sublime, For long days toiled he, hopeful, worked long with might and main, Rose with the sun at daybreak and dug till evening came. He dug into the hillside, through loam and sand and clay, He blasted heavy boulders that lodged within his way. The cold winds blew upon him, the scorching sun beat down, The clouds rolled dark, forboding, rain soaked the thirsty ground; Then finally he found it, the last great stone was rolled, The treasure lay around him in tiny grains of gold. Classmates: We have climbed the mountain, and have left the world behind, To delve into God’s storehouse, far richer than any mine, And thus we’ve struggled onward, have studied, worked, and played, Dark clouds were oft around us, and in despair we prayed. As we have dug for knowledge in search through books galore, We’ve found wealth everlasting, true life, a goodly store; As we have labored onward to reach our worthy goals, We’ve striven to reach that greater mark, the mark that wins our soids. And now we have reached a milepost which in our lives will stay, A bright and cheering guid eboard to guide along life’s way. We owe to you, dear parents, much more than we can tell, You guided us from infancy and lifted when we fell; All through the dreary journey you walked along beside, And to you all our joys and trials we always could confide. All that we ever are, or ever hope to be, Fathers and Mothers, loyal, we owe it all to thee. Dear teachers, now to you we give our sincere heartfelt praise, We shall e’er remember your earnest Christian ways; For you’ve helped us in our troubles, and when the way seemed dark You prayed with us and aided us, and now we’ve reached this mark- And now we bid you all farewell, you whom we’ve learned to love, And if on earth we meet no more, we hope to meet above; Let you who’ve known us all so well, wherever you may be, Think of us and all these days, as golden memories. —Queenie Peck- i [151 1929 THE MAGNET Juniors CLASS ROLL (az timme goze awn U mite finds uss Beeing occYouPied az uss falloeing iff U’re thare att thu rite timme.

Now don’t you all think it’s pretty fine? Of course you’ll want to know who we are And so I’ll introduce you this very hour. Earl Mooers comes first in line; He’s full of mischief and that’s just fine. There’s Carlin Gibson with bright red hair — And next is Carmen Grandy, who fun will always share. Next comes Neil Hardcastle, Luella Foley, and William Lowe, Followed by Ruth Gibson, Vernon Johnson, and Eileen Ingersoll you know. And who’s the next? Oh, Reginald De Vice is he. What a fine young preacher he is going to be. Miss Julin and Carol Lyman are the last ones on the row. And so now to the middle row at last we’ll have to go. Forrest Reynolds, Dorothy Trimble, Stanley Clark, and Retta Ball, Julius Hardy, Ruthie Clark, Gordon Davis and that’s all. On the left hand corner next to Elmer Henderson, Are Mr. Albert Johnson and charming Barbara Young. Next in line is Charles Ross Who for a good joke is never at a loss. Now, though no poet I claim to be The one who’s sitting next is me. The young man here. Can you give his name? As principal of our school he’s won undying fame. ’Tis Professor Losey, and Mr. Leonard Dahlbeck by his side. Edith Walch, Ted Mooers, and June Corpron are also here, And Benjamin da Silva the last one of our class this year! Now with me I’m sure you’ll all agree That a finer, better looking class you never could have hoped to see. And so I’m going to share a secret that I want you all to hear . . . As we’re no t going to fill these places for a single other year: We hope that when the next year comes a-roiling round There will not a single empty chair around this place be found. Just make all haste to take your place with every wholesome grace And make this next school year far better than the last. —Olive Houde.

SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES I must tell you about our seventh and eighth grade room. There have been twenty-seven enrolled this year. Besides our regular studies we have had a Junior Missionary Volunteer Society, which meets every Wednesday. We have studied in our meetings about the pioneers of the message . . . we have had some gazette pro¬ grams, and have had readings from reading course books. When we sing one of us directs the music, which we learn to do in directing class, and we have even started a harmonica class. Our senior class has just organized. There are fifteen in it. Charles Barrett is our president, Emma McKay our secretary, and Charles Peck our sergeant-at-arms. Adah Roberts is the valedictorian. — Adah Roberts. r 181 chvihes WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Student Body OF WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY SUMMER Aubol, Ruth, Star Route Shelton, Washington Ball, Marietta, Route 1 Box 127, Aberdeen, Wash.

[21] 1929 THE MAGNET The Student Association HThE STUDENT organization of W. W. A., known as the Associated Students, d - emphasizes more and more those things which are related to practical life, for that is the purpose of present day education. Our goal as we read from the Con¬ stitution, is to Promote the Spiritual, Cultural, and Social interest of the school and to foster a spirit of unity and Christian fellowship among its members.” A worthy purpose indeed. There is a great need today in the work of God of capable men and women who can influence their fellow men to think and work in harmony, and as students we are naming for social leadership. In their activities the students are constantly working in various capacities, thus learning to respect the ideas and opinions of others and developing the ability to weigh carefully and stand for principle. Through the hearty support of the students many phases of school life and ac¬ tivities have been advanced and there are many plans to be worked out in the re¬ maining weeks of this year. The social committee has endeavored to maintain the students’ interest by sev¬ eral social entertainments during the year such as banquets, Saturday evening pro¬ grams, hikes, and debates. The cultural committee conducted a cultural week in the beginning of the year and Good English Week came the first of Mav. Christian ideals are held before the students by the Spiritual committee. Prayer bands are held and Chapel talks together with excellent mottos for each day. As school years have come and gone, discrepancies have been found in the original Constitution, and a movement is now on foot for its revision. The Associated Students meet in session once every three weeks or in case of urgent business, a session is called when the president wishes. In these meetings opportunity is given for debate and discussion of student activities and problems. The Academy Magnet and this Annual are the official organs of our Association and so speak the sentiments of the Student Association. Our Association cannot but be progressive. We look forward to another year that will be bigger and better for our school . . . W. W. A. Boost the Association and you boost the school. —Howard Wm. Finke , President , ’28-29. r 221 WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Music Department “Blow thou gentle breath of spring, And through the kneeling grasses sing Thy fitful melody; Whisper tunefully on our way As loving Orpheus doth play To his Eurydice. O, Orpheus thy silver notes From a thousand phantom throats Pour forth thy harmonies May thy music ever be echoed to posterity Upon thy lute , the breeze The very rocks, the mountains sway In rhythm to thy celestial layP M USIC, TO THE true lover is at once the source of his greatest joy,—joy to hear the infinite spirit of God re-echoing from a well-played, divinely inspired, composition. The Bible clearly indicates the divine character of music and the inten¬ tion of the Lord to inspire us to a higher and nobler life through this wonderful art. It is a well known and accepted fact that a heartfelt and sympathetic rendering of a composition has caused many a sin-stained soul to admit Christ into the door of his heart. Music has been called the language of heaven. It is the plan of Western Wash¬ ington Academy to give this language its rightful place in the school activities. During the school term of 1928 and 1929 much time has been spent developing in the minds of the students an appreciation and knowledge of this subject. W. W. A. is indeed fortunate in having Mrs. Strauss Cubley as its piano instructor. She is not only thoroughly familiar with her subject, but has shown herself able to conduct her classes efficiently and competently. She is sympathetic with the interests of the students and is always ready to co-operate in every way possible for the betterment of the music department as a whole. Come to Western Washington Academy where we are trying to give music its rightful place, and develop the talents which now lie dormant in so many of our youth.

For lo! these many years the boys have done their best to be cheerful and happy while watching the girls go back and forth from their cheery dormitory. Each year the boys have lived in anticipation and have hoped that next year would see the build¬ ing of a new home for them, one that they could take pride in. Now the hopes are about realized, for the Academy Board has voted to build a new dormitory. Plans come first, then comes the working out of the plans. Money is needed to purchase material and pay carp enters, masons, plumbers and electricians. The school does not have the money and so we have to plan a campaign to raise the money in the field. The student body is going to be responsible for $2,000.00. Every boy and girl is to raise $15.00 or more. The school has been divided into two groups under the leader¬ ship of May Libby and Vernon Van Buskirk. We know that the students will reach their goal because they always have accomplished whatever they have set out to do. A group of conference workers will take the burden of raising the major portion of the $10,000 which will be needed. According to the ideals set forth in the fundamentals of Christian education we plan on using our teachers and students in the work of erecting the building. We ex¬ pect to have competent foremen to see that everything is done in a workmanlike man¬ ner. This plan will not only assist the boys in earning money to pay their expenses for the next school year but it will have an educational value also. Our woodwork shop will do all of the millwork, making doors and windows, cup¬ boards, and so forth. This also will give more boys an opportunity to learn a trade and earn money for their schooling. When teachers and students can work together at manual labor there is a closer contact made between them and a great appreciation of their mutual problems. The building will be two stories high, and of the same design as the Administra¬ tion building and girls’ dormitory. It will have commodious rooms for the preceptor, and will comfortably care for about seventy boys. We plan on making everything as strictly modern and up-to-date as our means will permit. When boys are housed in a neat, clean, h ealthy, commodious home with cheer¬ ful conditions, and are helped to keep their belongings in the proper way, they learn valuable lessons that will build stronger characters and useful habits that will make them more useful as workers in the future. We plan on making the dormitory easy to supervise, with sanitary arrangements so that the boys’ health will have the proper attention, plenty of light in all of the rooms and a closet in each which will hold all necessary apparel. When a boy can look from his window to the north and see in the valley below, a beautiful winding river with mighty fir trees covering the surrounding hills, and look to the southeast and see majestic Mt. Rainier towering thousands of feet in the air, he cannot help but feel that God’s hand is controlling all nature and that his soul will be better for the sights his eyes have beheld. To the boys of the Northwest who have not yet been to our school, we issue an invitation: COME and work with us and enjoy the fruits of your labors by living in the new dormitory.

Leave memories with joy some heart to fill. If just because we’ve lived and loved and studied With Christian teachers and with classmates dear We leave this school with noble aspirations Because of Christian influence while here. If we can see our cherished hopes defeated, And tactfully and bravely hold our tongue, Nor lose our tempers when unfairly treated Because of patient lessons here well done. If we can keep out motto with clear vision Bear sympathy, yet sympathize With those who do not understand our motives And only evil of our lives surmise . If we can work in harmony with others And never lose our own distinctive aim, Remembering that fathers, sisters, brothers And mothers too, have plans not just the same . . . If still your prayers and thoughts and love go with us When other friends and calls make claims anew. Then we will all be strong, and brave , and conquer , Because of faith and trust we learned from you. If we can leave our Academy this spring And be back to fill our place when school takes up again. With joy and pep, ambition, high achievement Then we will feel our efforts not in vain. If we can love to bring you parents honor And make you feel your sacrifice was worth The toil, and care, and heartaches you have suffered — Then memories sweet well leave upon your hearth. When years and miles and mountains loom between us And W. W. A. the school we all adore . . . We hope our thoughts, and letters find a welcome When memory brings us back to you once more. And so dear friends, schoolmates and loyal teachers, The time to part has come, to us, to you, For we must leave you now to seek the future. We love you, thank you, bid you all adieu. —Goldie G oiled ee. 128] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 [291 1929 THE MAGNET The Ministerial Association of Western Washington Academy II HE WORK of the ministry is a high and holy calling. It is the work of bringing the remedy to lost sinners of earth.’’ God speaks thus of His servants, I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night.” Isa. 62:6. It is to be a continuous warfare, with no rest this side of eternity. The salvation of souls is the most glorious work in the world. It is not man’s work. It is God’s work for man. The minister stands in the face of God, between the living and the dead. He is constrained through love to bear the message that there is balm in Gilead for the sin-sick soul, that Jesus Christ, the Divine Physician is there. God s plan is that one part of His work shall depend on every other part of His work, as a wheel within a wheel. Our Ministerial Association” has been organized to ht into that plan and we believe God’s blessing has rested upon the efforts of the young people. God has called the youth into training for service in His vineyard. The early training received at Western Washington Academy will help many to become more effective mouthpieces for His message of divine love. —George Sand. Our 1929-1930 Student Association CHOOL IS just closing. Time continues, and, before we are aware September will once more pay us a visit thus marking the beginning of another school year. So to the students of this closing year I wish once more to remind you of the fact that it is your duty to attend W. W. A. so as to aid in making our ’29-’30 Association meetings the peppiest yet! Are you with me? —Vernon Van Buskirk, President ’29-30. [301 1929 THE MAGNET ffl (With apologies to Poe) Oh, the tinkle of that little bell And the ringing of the bigger bell, Dinner bell.

Some may desire to excel in sports, some in their work or social life, and some in their studies. For those of the last-named class who are here at W. W. A. the goal is to have their names on the Honor Roll. But what is the Honor Roll, you may ask? It is a list composed of those students who have only A’s or B’s on their grade cards at the end of every six-week period, an A grade meaning an average grade of from ninety-five to one hundred, and a B an average of ninety to ninety-five. The students are arranged according to the number of honor points that they have, an A counting six honor points and a B four, special mention being made of those having all A’s. The distinction of being on the Honor Roll can be considered as a well-earned prize, for it means that faithful and persevering efforts have been put forth upon the daily lessons and it also means the expenditure of some midnight oil.” The students whose pictures accompany this article are those who have succeeded in keeping their names on the Honor Roll all through the past school year. Though many others have had their names on it from time to time these only have been able to maintain their high scholastic standard all the way through. —Erling Lund.

Biggs [40] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Descriptive j| N HE buildings consist of two separate dormitories, in addition to the administration building, a woodwork shop, separate engine room, commodious garages, and five cottages for the teachers. The location of the school is unusually attractive, on the edge of a plateau over¬ looking the Green River valley, with the snow-covered Olympics visible to the west, and beautiful Mount Rainier dominating the landscape toward the east. The Academy farm consists of about seventy acres much of which is improved and growing good crops. We have several acres in berries of various kinds, besides the area used for hay, oats, corn, potatoes, and market gardens. The berries are canned for the use of the student dining room. The market gardens supply fresh vegetables for the table during a large part of the school year. About ten cows, largely Jerseys, furnish the students with ex¬ cellent milk. During the past year a new chicken house has been added to house an ex¬ cellent flock of hens which supplies our kitchen with fresh eggs. We trapnest these hens and sell baby chicks to many of our people. The farm work is done by students, under the supervision of a competent farm manager. A class in agriculture supplies the theory of the work, the nature and treat¬ ment of soils, the care of livestock, etc., while the practical application is made on the farm. The Administration building contains, in addition to offices, music studios, and smaller class rooms, four class rooms large enough to hold fifty to seventy-five students comfortably, and a commodious chapel seating 200 or more without crowding. Also a large room is devoted to housing the library of about two thousand volumes. The buildings are set in a campus of several acres of lawn, which is inset with numerous flowers and shrubs, and fringed on three sides with evergreen trees of various kinds. We are growing 90.000 tulip, gladioli and dahlia bulbs and tubers for beauty and commercial use. Cooperation Parents are requested to read carefully all regulations and suggestions, so that in placing their children in Western Washington Academy, they may do so with a full knowledge of the requirements. They are urged to give the principal and faculty their hearty support and cooperation in upholding the regulations of the school; this they can do by granting no permissions that will in any way interfere with the routine, and by showing to their children that the principal and faculty have their complete confidence and approval. Student Activities In connection with Academy are a number of organizations, religious and social, which give the students opportunity to develop leadership and their talents of speaking and writing, as well as a training in various kinds of missionary work. Most prominent of these is the Missionary Volunteer Society, conducted throughout the school year by the students, and working in harmony with the General Department. Many active bands carry on the work of this organization, including Foreign Mission Band, Colporteur, Literature, and Sunshine. These bands tend to greatly stimulate missionary activities among the students. The Academy Sabbath school is conducted largely by students, assisted by teachers. The students of the Academy have developed an organization known as the Asso¬ ciated Students of Western Washington Academy. The purpose of this organization is to promote the social, cultural, and spiritual interests of the student body. [411 1929 THE MAGNET The Students Pledge It is distinctly understood that every student who presents himself for admission to this school thereby pledges himself to observe its regulations, and live as nearly as possible in harmony with its ideals and purposes. Unless he is willing to do this freely and without reservation, we will not knowingly admit him to our school. If this pledge is broken, he will be retained only by the sufferance of the faculty for such time as he is not a serious detriment to others. Students who fail to respond to appeals ad¬ dressed to their manhood and womanhood or sense of honor, and those whose influence is found to be harmful, will not be allowed to remain in our school even if they have been guilty of no specially culpable offense. On the other hand, the faculty pledges the parents that they will faithfully endeavor, to the limit of their ability, to help young people who seem not to appreciate the privilege and responsibilities that come to them. No student will be lightly dropped from the school, and parents may be assured that their children will be given every opportunity to develop Christian characters as long as they show a desire to cooperate with the teachers toward that end. General Regulations T HE following rules are the result of years of experience in the schools of this denomination. No student will be retained who uses tobacco in any form. Nor can we tolerate profane or indecent language, disorderly conduct, card playing, gambling, dancing, improper associations, the having or reading of novels and story-magazines, visiting of pool rooms, etc. Attending the theater, moving-picture show, or any other entertainment of an ob- jectional character, interferes with the student’s work and exerts a wrong influence in the school. It is therefore forbidden. The seventh day is observed as the Sabbath, and a proper quiet and decorum will be required of all students. Engaging in unnecessary work or improper recreation on this day is out of harmony with the spirit of the institution and will not be permitted. Young men and women may associate in a frank, manly and womanly manner at times and in places that are proper and in harmony with the spirit of the school; but sentimentalism, note writing, flirting, strolling together about the grounds or elsewhere, loitering about the campus, sitting together in public service, are not permitted, be¬ cause they are not conducive to the best progress in study or to the good name of the school. As this academy was established for the purpose of giving a distinctly Christian education, no student will be tolerated in its membership who either publicly or secretly seeks to disseminate immoral or atheistic ideas among his fellow-students, or who is antagonistic to the principles of the institution. The Home is not a public building. No lady or gentleman would think of entering a private home without permission. Hence, people living outside, in calling upon mem¬ bers of the Home family, are expected to observe the customary civilities. It is expected that all students will have respect for academy property; and in case of destruction of property of any kind, such as breaking windows, dishes, tools, etc., the honest student will report the breakage and settle for it. Modesty in dress being conducive to sound character building, we require stu¬ dents to dress simply, modestly, and sensibly, avoiding extremes. For girls, simple, one-piece dresses are recommended. The wearing of French or other high heels, short or extremely narrow skirts, sleeves above the elbow, low necks, transparent waists, jewelry, such as necklaces, finger rings, bracelets, etc., is not in harmony with the principles of the institution, and may not be worn. Dresses must not be shorter than four inches below ' the knee and sleeves must be at least to the elbow. If the dress is very narrow, Georgette or other sheer material may not be worn without a full slip underneath. A faculty dress committee under the direction of [42] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 the preceptress will inspect all wardrobes on arrival. We strongly urge parents to super¬ vise their daughter’s wardrobes, and save them embarrassment by eliminating anything out of harmony with these principles. We do not require uniforms, but any girls de¬ siring to wear middy and skirt will find many others wearing the same. Students are requested to refrain from card-playing of any kind, including flinch and other like games, also such unprofitable games as checkers, chess, etc. Students who are not Seventh-Day Adventists may attend the Academy without feeling any embarrassment whatever, so long as they do not interfere with the plans for which the school is established. It is expected that young ladies will be properly chaperoned whenever leaving the campus. Unmarried students whose parents or legal guardians do not reside in the vicinity of the school are required to board and room at the Academy. Certain circum¬ stances might arise where an exception may be made to this rule. Such cases will be considered by the faculty upon written request with reasons fully stated by the applicant. Students will be permitted to teach or take private lessons or correspondence school work only by permission from the faculty. Special examinations will be given when necessary, in which case a fee of one dollar will be charged for each. Three per cent for each unexcused absence will be deducted from the six-weeks’ grade. Should a student be absent 10% or more during the semester, his grade is forfeited and may be obtained only by special vote of the faculty. The management provides from time to time pleasant social gatherings and outings for the students. All gatherings of whatever nature, must have a faculty chaperone, and a list of students invited must be submitted to the principal at least two days beforehand. Borrowing and lending except by special permission is prohibited. Parents are requested not to give permissions that conflict with the rules of the school. School work missed just before or after the Thanksgiving and Winter holidays must be made up by examinations, at a cost of one dollar for each examination. All classes are entered or dropped by a voucher signed by the principal. The playing of rag time or jazz music is not permitted around the institution. No firearms are allowed on the school premises. Any regulation adopted by the faculty and announced to the school will have the same force as if printed in the calendar. The above regulations apply alike to students living in the community and in the dormitories. Dormitory Regulations The dormitories are in charge of experienced teachers who understand young people, and are able to help them solve their problems. Constant appeal is made for sincere cooperation on the part of every student in maintaining wholesome standards of living on the principle that kindness and confidence are more efficacious than stringent rules. Careful attention is given to the study of the personality of each student, and methods are employed that will best bring out the individuality of each. In a special way the government of the Home rests upon the mutual good understanding between teacher and pupil. It frequently happens that students are unexpectedly called for, and inasmuch as the home management should at all times know the whereabouts of those under their charge, no student should go any considerable distance from the homes without per¬ mission from the preceptor or preceptress. We desire that our school be quiet and orderly, and that students shall conduct themselves in a manner consistent with a refined home. Loud talking, running up and down stairs, entering rooms without the consent of the occupant, scuffling any¬ where in the building, are out of order, and will not be permitted. Heating and lighting appliances other than those furnished by the school are not permitted in the dormitories. No special wiring of any kind may be put in except, by order of the preceptor. The school home is conducted on the same principles as are all well-regulated Christian homes. Morning and evening worship is maintained in the school homes throughout the year. The preceptor and preceptress, under whose direction the worship [43] 1929 THE MAGNET is conducted, give careful study to these exercises in order that all may be benefited by attending. Every student is expected to be present, and those in charge of the Home will require a reasonable excuse for absence. All students are expected to attend public services on the Sabbath, unless excused by the preceptor or preceptress, in which case they will remain in their room. Owing to the modern easy means of travel, there is a strong tendency on the part of students and parents for frequent week-end visits home. This however, has been found to be very detrimental to the best interests of the school. The Board has there¬ fore recommended that the faculty do not grant permission for such visits more often than once in 4 weeks, except in extreme cases. Request should be made to the principal by the parents, in writing, several days before leave of absence is desired. In all cases the faculty reserves the right to decide as seems necessary for the best interest of the school. Flesh meats are not served in the dining room, and must not be brought into the school homes. Parents are requested not to send food to their children, unless it be fresh fruit. Students are not permitted to take food from the dining room nor to have food in their rooms other than fresh fruits, except in cases of sickness when an extra charge of ten cents will be made for any tray taken to the dormitories. All girls will be required to wear white indian head smocks (made like Excella pattern No. E 2410 or Pictorial Review No. 3741) with long sleeves, cuffs buttoned with plackets in sleeves so sleeves can be rolled up while doing their domestic work. We ask each girl to bring two of these smocks. Shrink material before making. Patterns will be sent on request. For a student to be absent from the dormitory after evening worship without per¬ mission will be considered a serious violation of the rules of the dormitory. All trips farther than Auburn from the school must be authorized by the Principal. The school will not be responsible for any personal property left upon the school premises after a student leaves school. Phonographs and radios are not permitted in the dormitories. What to Bring Each student should bring three three sheets, three pillow cases, a pillow ' , a bed spread, warm blankets or comforters for a double bed, towels, napkins, dresser scarf and cover for his study table, 27x48 inches; also work clothes, rubbers, umbrella, and a laundry bag. He should also bring a hot water bottle, some simples laxatives, and a wool cloth for compress to the neck. Our denominational books, such as the Testimonies, Desire of Ages, Christ ' s Object Lessons , Steps to Christ, Christ in Song . etc., will be of help. No rugs, carpets or window curtains are furnished with the rooms, but should be brought with the student if desired. A few pictures for the walls will be desirable. Curtains should be provided for one window three feet wide by five feet two inches high. Young ladies should bring curtain for clothes closet door two feet four inches wide by six feet six inches high; and young men one the same width but only six feet high. Each student should be provided with a pair of noiseless slippers to be worn during study period. Miscellaneous HOW TO REMIT. Send money by draft or check or money order pavable to WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY, not to an individual. Students need but little spending money, and parents are urged to require a monthly statement of expenditure from their children. Mail for the students residing in the Homes should be addressed to them in care of the Academy, Auburn, Washington. Tickets should be bought and baggage checked to Auburn, which is reached by all main line steam roads. If coming by stage from Seattle or Auburn, take the Enumclaw bus, and ask to be let out at the Academy stop. Those notifying the Academv will be met at Auburn. [44] 1929 THE MAGNET student, and do our best to see that this requirement is met. We have found, however, that some people require more attention than we can properly give in order to get this work from them, and if, in endeavoring to secure results we find that the necessary time is not in, the account will be charged for the balance. If a student is rated at higher than fifteen cents an hour, which frequently occurs, the time requirement will be met when six dollars have been earned. In case of younger students, and those markedly unresponsive along work lines, we will be unable to require more than forty hours of labor, and the account will be charged the difference between the amount they actually earn and six dollars. As a matter of fact, many students work two or three times the requirement, and are paid for overtime. We are glad to give this privilege whenever we have work to do. and the history of the past years leads us to believe that we will have ample oppor¬ tunity against next year. We cannot however promise any stated number of hours to any student. Young people vary so much in their faithfulness and efficiency and adaptability to work given them that we might estimate entirely too low or too high, and thus mislead. It is not necessary to write ahead and inquire for work .because we have no assurance that we can give one better than another. We will do our best for all. Some students put in from 150 to 200 hours a mon th. We believe that we can keep up the same record this coming year. Board Board is furnished on the cafeteria plan at the lowest possible rate. A minimum charge of $10 will be made each month. Fees All students are charged the following fees upon matriculation, excepting only the Room fee, which is for dormitory students alone: Matriculation and Library $1.50 Medical $1.00 Breakage $1.00 Room (To be refunded) $ .50 Total $4.00 The Matriculation and Library fee is used to pay for blanks used during the year and to maintain the Library. The breakage fee covers only such breakage as cannot be charged to the one responsible, and the replacement made necessary by the general wear on the equipment. The honest student will report at once anything broken by him, and settle for it at the business office. The medical fee provides for ordinary medical supplies and emergency equipment used by those in charge of the health of the school. It does not provide for medicines that should be prescribed for each stu¬ dent, nor for doctors’ calls or special nurses’ attention, but for emergency cases and brief illness only. A moderate charge for nursing will be made in case of a long illness. The room fee is a deposit which will be returned at the close of the year upon written statement from the preceptor or preceptress that the room is left in a satisfactory condition. It will not be refunded in cases of students’ leaving before the close of the school year. Special fees for those concerned are: Graduation .$2.50 Vocational: (per semester) Cooking and woodworking—each . 3.00 Sewing . 2.00 Laboratory: (per semester) Physiology and General Science . 1.50 Physics . 2.00 Typewriter rental—one period daily . 1.00 per month —two periods daily . 1.50 per month Piano rental—one period daily . 1.00 per month —two periods daily . 1.50 per month Charge for vocal or piano music is not included in the regular tuition rate. Piano or Vocal—1 lesson per week . 3.00 per month —2 lessons per week . 5.00 per month [461 WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 No student under fourteen years of age will be permitted to reside in the school Home unless he has completed the eighth grade and has made special arrangements with the school management. Students arriving Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday of the opening week of school will be given free transportation from Auburn to the Academy. Students arriving late will be charged a small fee for transportation. Also a small fee will be charged for baggage hauled from Auburn at any time. WITHDRAWAL. If withdrawal becomes necessary for any reason, the proper method is to secure a drop voucher from the principal in order to avoid further charge for expenses. School supplies, stationery, toilet articles, etc., may be purchased at the academy supply store. Be sure that you bring your credits from other schools. Write for them several weeks before school commences, and ask that they be sent directly to the school, if you do not already have them. Automobiles may not be brought to the school by students unless they have first made special arrangements with the principal. On general principles, experi¬ ence has proven that free access to an automobile during the school year is detrimental to good work. Expenses The school year is divided in its financial policy into nine periods of four weeks each. Each student is required to deposit $35 on entering school, (village students $10) after which he will be enrolled in the classes selected. This deposit will apply on the LAST month’s expenses. At the close of each month, statement will be rendered of the expenses during that month. Ten days will be allowed in which to pay the account. In cases where it is necessary, temporary extension of time may be granted, but only where arrangements are made with the principal. Tuition The tuition rate for grades 9-12 is $78.75 for the school year of thirty-six weeks or $39.38 for a semester of 18 weeks, payable in monthly installments of $8.75. The cash charge for dormitory will be $74.25 for the year of thirty-six weeks, or $37.13 for a semester of 18 weeks, payable in monthly installments of $8.25. The additional $.50 per month will be worked out as a part of the labor requirement for dormitory students. In other words, dormitory students will pay per month $8.25 in cash and $.50 in labor. This rate applies to full work, which means three or four units and one drill. Where two or more students come from the same family, a discount of ten per cent will be given on the tuition rate. This discount is for cash payment and will be allowed only when the account is settled each period on time. Rates for less than full work are: Two units $5.00 One unit $3.00 Extra studies in addition to full work, each $2.00 per unit; Extra drills being 50c. The full semester rate will be charged for tuition , regardless of absence or late entrance. Llome Expenses or Room Rent For meeting the expenses of maintaining the homes and getting the work of the home done, each student is charged $6 per month in cash, and is required to work an equivalent amount in labor. A part of this labor charge, however, may be made in cash if the student does not a work a sufficient number of hours to earn it. All labor will be rated at the close of each month by the labor board, on a basis of an average rate of 15c per month. Variation above and below this amount will be made ac¬ cording to the faithfulness and efficiency of the student. A younger boy or girl of course cannot usually earn the highest or even the average rate at first, but opportunity is given for improvement. We require forty hours of work each month from every [45] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 Expenses Estimated The following estimate of expenses is based upon the supposition that the pupil is carrying a full program, is doing work to the amount of $6.00 each month, and is not taking any special subjects such as music: Tuition .$8.25 Home Expenses . 6.00 Board (Estimated) .12.00 Total .$26.25 The first month there would be added to this four dollars in general fees, whatever special fees are required, and the cost of books. For boys especially, the board may run considerably over the above estimate, but care in selection of food will make it possible. A deposit is required of all students upon matriculation. Dormitory students will deposit $35, and village students $10. This will be applied on the last month’s expenses. Scholarships (1) Through the cooperation of the publishing house and the tract society, we are able to offer liberal scholarships to all students who will spend a part or all of the summer in selling our books or magazines. The sale of $450 worth of subscription books, with the entire amount turned into the tract society, will give the student a full scholarship, entitling him to a credit at the school of about $265. This would be a credit of nearly thiry dollars a month, which should allow for any average expenses. The sale of 3725 ten-cent magazines, and 1498 twenty-five cent magazines will entitle the student to a scholarship. Course of Study by Departments BIBLE “Let the student take the Bible as his guide, and stand like a rock for principle, and he may aspire to any height of attainment. “As an educating power, the Bible is without rival. Nothing will so impart vigor to all the facilities as requiring students to grasp the stupendous truth of revelation.”—Mrs. E. G. White. BIBLE I CHURCH HISTORY TWO SEMESTERS In this year’s work the life and teachings of Jesus and the Acts of the Apostles are studied. Professor Kern’s Lessons in Gospel History is used as a textbook. In addition Christ’s Object Lessons, The Desire of Ages, and The Acts of the Apostles are studied. BIBLE II HEBREW HISTORY TWO SEMESTERS This course begins with Creation and then lays a foundation for the study of the Hebrews, beginning with Abraham, the founder of the nation. The different periods are studied with the aim of giving the student a clear understanding of the progress of events connected with the history of the Jewish people. The books Patriarchs and Prophets, and Captivity and Restoration will be used for supplementary reading. BIBLE III THE FIRST SEMESTER will be devoted to a comprehensive study of the history of The Great Second Advent Movement that has characterized our denomination. THE WORK OF THE SECOND SEMESTER will be a definite outline of the Prophetic Gift, as noted in the Scriptures and the assuring evidence that this gift has been confirmed in this church by indubitable proofs. [47] 1929 THE MAGNET BIBLE IV BIBLE DOCTRINES TWO SEMESTERS This year ' s work will consist in a definite study of The Faith of Jesus as held and taught by Seventh-Day Adventists. The Great fundamentals of Christian belief will be considered, strictly adhering to the established faith of this people as taught in the Scriptures and outlined by the Spirit of Prophecy. ENGLISH “Of all the gifts God has bestowed upon man, none is more precious than the talent that should be diligently improved.” The chief aims of the English department are as follews: 1. To assist the learner in acquiring an accurate and ready command of the language in speaking and writing. 2. To help him to understand the language of others. 3. To stimulate and to train his taste in reading. 4. To quicken his aesthetic faculties, furnish a spiritual and ethical stimulus, and to give him a basis for the judgment of literary values. 5. To familiarize him with our best literature and introduce him to some of the men and women who have produced it. 6. To cullivate a love for the Bible which, as a literary monument, remains the ‘‘noblest example of the English tongue.” ENGLISH I, COMPOSITION TWO SEMESTERS The first year’s work in English will consist of a review of the mechanics of writing, spelling, punctuation, capita lization, analysis of the less difficult sentences, narration, letter writing, and word analysis. Practice will be given in written and oral composition. At least two classics will be studied in class and assignment will be given in outside reading. ENGLISH II. Rhetoric and American Literature TWO SEMESTERS Second year English will involve a general study of the rhetorical principles of unity, coherence, and emphasis as applied to exposition, argumentation, narration, and descrip¬ tion. Special attention will be given to the study of the paragraph as a unit of thought. Detailed study of verbs will be given with special attention to the forms and correct use of verbs. A personal effort will be made to establish a habit in using the proper forms of past tenses and the perfect participle. The Second Semester will be spent in a thorough study of the American Authors and their works. ENGLISH III, Literature T WO SEMESTERS A systematic study of elementary literature will constitute the work of the third year English. Much attention will be given to the lives and writings of the leading English and American authors. Typical selections from their writings will be considered in class and individual notebooks will be required on assignments. The literary value of the Bible will be emphasized. It shall be the outstanding aim to cultivate in the student a taste for good literature. HISTORY Our aim in the study of history is not so much to engage the minds of the students with the details of conquests, rebellions, battles, or with the personal adventures of kings and nobles, or with the romp of courts and the intrigues of politicians, but to enable him to recognize that the “Most High ruleth in he Kingdom of men..” In conjunction with this, it is our purpose to lead the student to see the sacred aspect of history as found in its relation with inspired prophecy. History is but the unrolled school of prophecy,— divine will mirrored in prophecy fulfilled. The whole vast sweep of history is a grand impregnable attestation to the truth of divine prediction. And it is upon these crowning aspects of history that we place, by all odds, the chief stress in our courses of study. [48] WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 GENERAL HISTORY TWO SEMESTERS This year of work covers the entire historic period from the dawn of history at creation’s morn to the present time. The object is to give the students a general survey of human events and a summary of the facts of history which will serve as a basis of future study or as a fund of general information. Text-book and collateral reading required. AMERICAN HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT TWO SEMESTERS This course will cover: Conditions in Europe leading up to the discovery of America; early colonization; growth of the spirit of independence; separation from England; for¬ mation of a national constitution, slavery and the west; the crisis of disunion; the era of reconstruction; America as a world power; present-day problems. A course in civics supplements the work of the year. Text-book and collateral reading. FOREIGN LANGUAGE Next to a deep and consecrated study of the Bible, no other intellectual pursuit holds a more definite and pertinent relation to the carrying forward of our missionary endeavor than the training of workers in the art and science of languages. Foreign languages are the vehicle upon which the third angel’s message will ride to the uttermost parts of the earth. In fact, one of the great problems in mission work is the mastery of the foreign language, which is necessary to eliminate the barrier between the missionary and the people for whom he is to work. Thus, realizing that the acquisition of one language facilitates the mastery of another the study of a foreign language assumes a leading role in our course of study. SPANISH I, ELEMENTARY SPANISH TWO SEMESTERS We believe that systematic grammar study affords the most excellent foundation upon which to build thoroughly and substantially in acquiring an accurate working knowledge of this language. In conjunction with a thorough study of the elements of grammar, this course gives considerable attention to the acquiring of a good pronunciation, to memory work, to dictation, to composition, to a careful study of the Spanish verb and to the reading of simple prose selections. The eclectic method is used throughout SPANISH II, INTERMEDIATE SPANISH TWO SEMESTERS The following is a brief epitome of the work covered in this year’s course; Review of the essentials of Spanish grammar with particular attention to radical-changing, ortho¬ graphical-changing, and irregular verbs; an intensive study of the subjunctive and the personal pronouns; more memory work; frequent dictation of material not previously studied; one period a week given to oral and written composition; conversational drill; rapid reading of such selected works as portray the life and customs and geography of Spain and Spanish-American countries. MATHEMATICS The aim of the instruction throughout, in this department, is not only the acquiring of a knowledge of facts, but also a systematic training to vigorous constructive thought and accurate expression and demonstration through much blackboard work. The ingen¬ uity of the student is constantly taxed by original exercises. ALGEBRA I TWO SEMESTERS No previous work in Algebra is required for this course. It is a development of the fundamental principles of Algebra: addition, subtractions, multiplication, division, raising to powers, and extraction of roots. During the latter part of the year the quadratic equa¬ tion is introduced. PLANE GEOMETRY TWO SEMESTERS Algebra I is a pre-requisite to this course. The first five books of Euclid are studied which deal with the properties of plane figures and lead to the mensuration of the circle. The inductive and deductive methods of attacking problems are developed. Much time is spent in solving original problems. Note-book work will be required. [49] 1929 THE MAGNET SCIENCE GENERAL SCIENCE ONE SEMESTER This course is a popular introduction to the sciences, i.e., physics, chemistry, astron¬ omy, biology, geology. It is designed to acquaint the student with the whole field covered by science and to prepare him for further work along special lines. Special emphasis is placed upon those points wher e science and Scripture are thought by skeptics to be at variance. Laboratory work in conjunction with the class work. ELEMENTARY PHYSIOLOGY ONE SEMESTER The purpose of this study is to familiarize the student with the mechanism of the human body and its relation to the laws of health. Laboratory work is carried on in con¬ nection with class work. ELEMENTARY PHYSICS TWO SEMESTERS A development of the fundamental principles of physical science. The first semester ' s work deals with mechanics, pneumatics, hydrostatics, and sound. The second semester subjects are: Heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. Three hours of laboratory per week is required in each semester. BOOKKEEPING BOOKKEEPING ONE SEMESTER “The common branches must be thoroughly mastered, and a knowledge of bookkeep¬ ing should be considered as important as a knowledge of grammar. To spell correctly, to write a clear, fair hand, and to keep accounts, are necessar y accomplishments. Bookkeeping has strangely dropped out of school work in many places, but this should be regarded as a study of primary importance.”—Counsels to Teachers, p. 218. This course offered in bookkeeping is very thorough and practical. At the beginning of this course the very simplest business transactions are introduced and blackboard illustrations of the theory of debit and credit make the principles of bookkeeping plain. Bookkeeping is largely a matter of individual practice, and students are advanced as rapidly as the subject is thoroughly mastered. DRILLS All students who present themselves for graduation from the academic course are required to reach and maintain an average of 85% in penmanship, reading, and spelling. Drills are offered to students who may be deficient in these subjects. Also elocution, sightsinging, chorus, and directing. THE INDUSTRIES AND ARTS Western Washington Academy stands for order, system, industry, courtesy, and usefulness. The day is so full of work that there is no time for complaining, misery or faultfinding—three things usually born of idleness. At Western Washington Academy we are all servants, students and teachers—every¬ body works, and those who are unwilling to work, and work hard, at any task assigned them are a detriment to the school. VOCATIONAL SUBJECTS One vocational subject is required for graduation. Two or three may be taken and are recommended. These vocations include Cooking, Sewing. Baking. Woodwork. Agri¬ culture, Practical Nursing, and Typewriting. COOKING A one-year course in hygienic cooking is offered, requiring ten hours of class work each week, during which the students carry out in a practical way the instruction given. Each student is required to make the various dishes, and to keep in his notebook the instructions on the principles of cookery, and also the recipes for the different dishes prepared during the year. r sol L WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 The first semester ' s work covers the cooking and preparation (1) of cereals, eggs, breakfast dishes and beverages; (2) soups, vegetables, and entrees; (3) breads of various kinds. The second semester’s work will include (4) cakes, pastry; (5) salads, desserts, ices; (6) planning meals, food combinations, making menus, serving meals, etc. Instruction is also given on the nutritive value of foods prepared and the comparative cost of the elements of nutrition in the different foods in common use. BAKING Next to agriculture the baking of that portion of its products which require baking is essential as an industry. The making of good wholesome bread is an art of great importance, since bread in some form is required in the preservation of life and health. Seventh-day Adventists have lead the world in a reformed dietary outlined by the Spirit of Prophecy, which has been of inestimable value. A new rotary oven has been installed in our bakery, increasing its efficiency many fold, and we are equiped to teach baking in a very practical way. One unit credit is given for completion of this course. SEWING The first semester’s work will include the making of essential stitches and seams; hand and machine sewing, overcasting, hemming, hand and machine felling, French seaming, tailored seams, buttonhole stitches; tissue paper patterns, pattern selection and alteration, use and care of patterns; taking measurements; plain dressmaking. The following garments are made, two house aprons, one night dress, undergarments, plain skirt, and a cotton dress. The second semester’s work includes the care and use of the sewing machine, the study of harmony in dress; remodeling, renovating, and pressing; putting in sleeves, pockets, hems, collars, belts; measurements and advanced dressmaking. Each pupil will make one wool dress, one silk dress, and two blouses. AGRICULTURE As food is brought forth out of the earth for man, the tillage of the soil or agriculture is the first essential occupation for physical and financial support, bodily exercises and spiritual contact with the creative work and design. The schools of the Prophets were ordained to this end. Our school is designed and established to send forth missionaries and due provision is made to give a practical as well as theoretical course in this important vocational with due credit therefor. Through student effort, a well equipped Green House 17x30 has been established and experimental work in the testing of seeds, soils, and fertilizers will be carried forward together with the proper care of plants from germination to maturity. The green house is a valuable asset to our farm and vocational work. WOODWORK The Cabinet Shop is thoroughly equipped for the manufacture of all kinds of doors and sash and general cabinet work of all kinds. This equipment has been placed in the shop largely through the gift of friends and represents an outlay of more than $3500. This industry will be operated as far as possible by students, making it possible for many to earn a large portion, if not all, of their way through the academy. The Manual Training Shop is combined with the cabinet shop. This shop has a good complement of hand tools, modern benches, etc. The course of instruction is thorough and practical and includes both hand and machine work. The shop has its own teacher and is conducted in a business-like way. PIANO Music is truly the language of the soul, and it is an art which is found, not only upon the earth, but in heaven. The angels glorify God by praising Him with song. It was designed by the Creator as a means of expressing gratitude and praise to Him and used as such it is also a great benefit to man. But it may also be used with great power to draw man away from God. [51] 1929 THE MAGNET The music department strives to cultivate in the pupil a love for the best music instead of that which is degrading. “Jazz,” and all music of that nature, will not be tolerated in the school. Compositions and studies by the world’s great masters will be used, together with technical work, ensemble playing and accompanying. One unit is allowed on the academic course for those who have done 360 hours and have obtained a fair degree of skill in playing. Credit for Piano will be based upon the following requirements: One unit— 1. The regular requirement of practice and lessons to a total of 360 hours. 2. The student shall play 4th grade pieces acceptably, using Matthews Standard Graded Method as a guide. 3. The student shall play any hymn in “Christ in Song” at sight. 4. The student shall play scales 4 notes to a quarter at 88. and arpeggios 4 notes to a quarter at 76. 5. The student shall have one period or its equivalent, of public hymn playing. 6. The student shall play at least one selection, at a closing recital, from memory. PIANO PRACTICE In case the student fails to practice during his hours, for such he will be required to present a properly signed excuse to the teacher. Students are expected to attend their lessons regularly and promptly. Tardiness and single absence will be a loss to the pupil. Music tuition is charged by the month, not by the lesson, and no refunds will be made for sickness or other cause for a less period than one month. VOICE In the study of voice culture, care will be taken to produce clear singing; special emphasis will be placed upon pronunciation, in order that the singer may be easily understood. Standard works from well known composers will be studied, and great care will be taken to develop the control of the breath and vocal organs. CHORUS AND DIRECTING The chorus is open to those in the school and the community who have ability to sing. Glee clubs will be organized if there is sufficient talent. A class in directing will also be organized for those who show ability in leadership. ORCHESTRA During the past three years we have conducted an orchestra. This organization will be continued next year if sufficient talent is developed. No tuition is charged. EXPRESSION “The more expression we can put into the words of truth, the more effective these words will be on those who hear.” Counsels, p. 217. “Those who gain correct ideas on the subject of voice culture will see the necessity of educating and training themselves so that they may honor God and bless others . . . . They will not be embarrassed by defects of speech, and their usefulness in the cause of God will be increased.” Id. p. 247. “Whatever his calling is to be the student should learn to control the voice.” Id. p. 217. “We should be careful not to give an incorrect pronunciation of our words . . . . In reading or recitation the pronunciation should be clear. Id. p. 239. Our course aims to give training in voice culture and public speaking in a way to help the student to overcome speech defects; that he may learn to think while upon the feet, and speak in a clear, straight-forward manner. [521 WESTERN WASHINGTON ACADEMY 1929 COURSE OF STUDY A sudent will be admitted to the academic course upon the presentation of accredited grades from other schools, or lacking these, upon passing satisfactory examinations in subjects for which credit is claimed. Students should bring grades with them from other schools, and present them upon matriculation. A grade of not less than eighty-five per cent in arithmetic is necessary for admission to Algebra, and the same in grammar for admission to English I. Students lacking this average will be required to take Grammar or Arithmetic drill. Sixteen units of regular subjects and one unit of drills are required for graduation. A unit is the value given to the work done in a subject covering thirty-six weeks of five forty-five minute recitations each. To be graduated from the academic course a student must show evidence of good moral character, and have the following: 1. An average grade of eighty-five per cent in all subjects completed. 2. Seventeen units as indicated above, and complying with the requirements of the General Educational Department, as listed below. Completion of our academic course meets the requirements of Walla Walla College for college entrance, as well as every other college in the denomination. 3. In language study, two years of the same language are required for any credit. Special examinations will be given when necessary, for which a charge of one dollar each will be made. No semester grades will be given students until their accounts are settled in full. Students are advised to enter upon a regular course of stu dy if possible. Irregular students labor under a disadvantage because the daily program is arranged to meet the demands of the regular course. Grade cards are issued each six weeks, a duplicate copy being sent to parents. Students coming from public schools will receive full credit for the work taken there, and in case the course of study differs from that of this school, proper substitution will be allowed. Conditions on subjects must be removed within one calendar year or no credit will be allowed. Work must be made up with the school where the subjects were pursued. 1531 1929 THE MAGNET Grade IX Grade X Church History English 1 Physiology and General Science Vocational Grammar Drill Hebrew History Eng ' ish II General History Algebra Penmanship Drill Units. 1 1 1 1 % 1 1 1 1 ’A Grade XI Denominational History and Spirit of Prophecy English 111 Elect two: Language I Geometry Vocational Spelling Drill 1 1 2 % Grade XII Bible Doctrines American History and Government Practical Nursing Bookkeeping Elect one: Language II Physics Elective Drill % 1 3 4 The vocational to choose from are Cooking.

Let’s put our appreciation into practice. 1929 THE MAGNET CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from page 14) headquarters of the denomination. As I entered one of the buildings I saw two more of my classmates, Miriam and Queenie who were stenographers in one of the offices of the Review and Herald Publishing Association. They were happily working and we were assured of their success in the work they were doing. I was not able to stay because my guide had already made reservations on a bus from the top of which we could view famous buildings. We had enjoyed the scenery a little over a mile when we came to the Washington Missionary College. My guide took me to the Art Department where we realized that the Instructor of this large department was none other than Ruth Aubol. She told us she had just returned from Europe where she had been taking advanced work in art and studying old paintings of famous artists. My pilot took me southward where we stopped at a sanitarium overlooking the water. We wondered who could be away down here at Orlando, Florida. But I soon found out because at the door we were met by Gladys Losey. When we asked her what she was doing down there she told us she was matron and head of the dietetics department. She was not the only friend we saw while there because as we were talking, who should enter but Verner Hopke, the head physician. On his face was a friendly smile, and he seemed glad to see us; but had to hurry on his way for his services were in constant demand. As swiftly as if we had wings, we were back in my home state, Washington. But this time at Walla Walla College. Chapel was being held, and presiding over the college was Professor Burton Johnson. He seemed much more dignified than when we had known him at school. After chapel we had the pleasure of meeting Dorothy White, the head of the Commercial Department. Burton told us that she was also faculty advisor for the Collegian.” It reminded me of the faithful work she did as editor of our Magnet.” She took us for a little stroll across the campus to the Sanitarium where we found Lois, her old chum. We might have known that where Dot” was we’d find Lois. She was head nurse in the surgical department. Did I hear school bells? No! I looked up and saw my faithful clock. The number of chimes told me that it was past time for me to retire. The fire had gone out and I was sorry in a way, that I was back in my own little sitting room. I had seen my classmates of ’29 in their various walks of life, and could now sleep peacefully.
