This organisation is dual in character. On the one hand all teacher training activities are directly under the direction of the director of teacher training and three de¬ partmental directors, each of whom Is In charge of a de¬ partment of this work. On the other hand, the room teachers are directly responsible for all pupils in the training schools. Under the supervision of a competent staff this de¬ partment has done and is still doing excellent work, and its good name is known from coast to coast. Many in¬ quiries and many visitors from many state are received each year. Comments of approval are often apparent in many quarters. The Training schcol is the place In which psychological principles are formulated into methods and educational theories find plaees for expression. As psychology, social science, and education are in advance of established practice in the teacher training departments so is the practice of the training department ahead of that of the public schools in general. Much progress has been made in this school during the past year. Teacher training has never been better and the task of training real teachers is trow- sumewhat clearer and better understood than ever before. With this progress there must of necessity be cor¬ responding expansion. The plans for the future teacher training are now shaped. The Ellensburg Normal school will now take its place as a school in which teachers for junior high srhools will be trained. This institution will be the first higher educational institution to organize such a department on a broad and comprehensive basis. Evidence of further growth is indicated by the re¬ organization of teacher training in the rural centers. Within another year a completely new rural center organization will be found in the districts adjacent to Ellensburg and thus the old organization will be displaced. It is hoped that this training department arid the schools under its direction will become the leaders of educational thought and demonstrators of highest educational practice in the Northwest.

One has only to vi.it a great pulp and paper mill realize that there would be little of literature — ' journalistic, technical or poetic— were it not for the paper makers’ technical art. In like manner, the drama, music and varied form, of entertain¬ ment have seen their moat efficient culmination in «cien- tific applications a. exemplified in the motion picture camera, the phonograph, and the wonderful, mathematical pipe-organ, not to mention the more awe-inspiring radio equipment. In the field of transportation acience has played a vital part. Magnificent ships, out of sight, but never out of communication with land, take us to all comers of the earth Luxurious trains-steam and electric—and auto- mo ,ilea of many types have grown to be a necessary - factor of every day life.

' ‘ d monslr “ t Practical Psychology ■ ■ The Psychology department shares with education the upper part of the training school. We have a large laboratory and class room, and six small laboratories for testing and individual experimentation. Our equipment for mental and educational testing is exceedingly good. This year Miss Florence Fuller who assisted Dr. Terman of Stanford in some of his work has made it possible to offer mure courses in our field. The personal work is growing in scope and value. Besides administering intelligence and educational tests to each student upon entering the school, we have given special ability tests when needed. An Interview has been held with each student concerning his or her interests, abilities and ambitions with a view to aiding in the choice of course and vocation. The Psychology club still flourishes, and this year has continued the work begun last year of informing the members concerning the various brands uf faker and pres¬ ent psychology in order to combat the tendency to believe in the so-called applied psychologies. At present we are studying mind or muscle reading. Opportunities for the expert psychologist are increas¬ ing. Besides teachers for all classes, we need clinicians for insane asylums, feeble-minded institutions and refor¬ matories. Those who arc skilled in intelligence, and abili¬ ty and vocational tests are needed in schools and business. Personal workers are also in demand. The Psychology of today is profoundly influencing the Department of Sociology, History and Economics. New uses are con¬ stantly developing. The subject of Psychology now ranks with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as a science. It is no longer a mystical or speculative subject as it was twenty or thirty years ago. ThiB is une reason why the field is so very worth-while, and is so fascinating today. On the other hand, the world is full of pseudo-psychological systems with their false “Character analysis,” Vocational guid¬ ance, How to develop your mind,” How to outwit your nerves, and “How to get braina, that men and women, trained In scientific psychology are needed to combat these spurious brands. Moreover individuals in all walks of life need to be sufficiently familiar with modern Psychology to appreciate it so they will not be led astray by the many pseudo-psychologists and fakera. X ' JL UOlt V ' “,‘f ™ th ' L CUr . riculum - nut t ™use wme one ha 8 reasoned It ahould be there, but because of ita very powerful socilaizing force and the fact that music satisfies a certain demand of the human race that no other factor has been able to meet. Music Coes hand in hand with social activities. It is surprising to character m n deP d nt 0,1 or hnk,!d with � � � °f some Our department offers courses in Applied Piano and Voice, Not , non. History, Appreciation, Chorus Conducting, Chorus, Theorv Music Methods. Physical and the teaching of music In the Training school, leading to u special three year course in music. A Music Major club has been organized, with an aim for reaching i 0t f “ rth r dfv « lo Pn ent. The club promise, serious study and much fun for It member The many phases of music, always popular, are being demanded more and more of the public school student To sing, to play the piano, to play some Instrument in the hand or orchestra, to write simple melodies, to have � speaking vocabulary of things musical is becoming an every day occurrence to many children. The department is making an attempt to prepare those who will be placed in positions where they are asked to further this development. Hiiuiiihmmmmmi English This department has now three member who devote their entire time to the work of the department, and occasion ally course are offered in English by mrmbers of other departments. The school is preparing a new catalog which will be issued at once. It will contain a full list and description of the various course offered by the department. This department desires to be as generally helpful to the students and the community as possible, and is now proposing to open an English clinic to which persons may come, freely and often and with¬ out assignment and without credit, for consultation, diagnosis, and suggestion regarding the health conditions of their oral and written language, and also regarding their reading and culture in the field of literature. This department further believes that students and communities of the state should become interested In reading and studylug much more generally than at present the present-day poetry, druma, and fiction and it is ready to assist as much as is practical in the or¬ ganization of such local community projects as will raise the standard of general reading and culture in literature and language. Miss Teisseire, who became a member of the department last Oc¬ tober. speaks French and Spanish very fluently and devotes prac¬ tically all her time to the teaching of these languages. She helps also in the reading of the dally themes of the English composition classes. Miss Davidson devotes her time to the expressional and dramatic technique of the department’s work. •p Education Education is perhaps the most difficult of all the Sciences—for it has to do with the whole of human conduct in motion. It is the science of human experiencing, the guide for the individual in his attack on his environment. The Educationist must make his experiments and draw his conclusions on the run. There is no time when he can say that any behavior or set of behaviors is final. With every bank robbery, every divorce, every labor strike, every war, he must read his professional compass and re-chart his course. The Educationist must consult the Psychologist, the Sociologist the Physical Scientist, the Theologian, the Mer¬ chant, the Industrial worker, and all the rest—but pri¬ marily he must keep his forces focused upon the human element, the creeking of the human machine, in its strug¬ gle toward self realization. Whatever this self realiza¬ tion may be at any particular time, scholarship, the church, the stale, and the whole social order are means to that end—which end constitutes the continuous problem of the Educationist. Every so often one or more of the above institutions come forward with a solution of the human problem. The Educationist has to come to the rescue of the individual and remind these idealists that progress, and not solution is the order of civilization Education is gradual through evolution and not revolution, through personal growth und development, not through external organization. The Science of Education is no longer confined to the principles of procedure in the ordinary school room—but it embodies the best known principles of conduct (that is of doing things) in any walk of possible human experience throughout either the life of the individual or of the race. These principles are not always on “top,” but the extracting of them from the daily blunderings of human experience and the applying of them to the Improvement of the hu man Journey constitutes the work of the Educationist. The pathetic fact about the whole problem is that the lay public is literally several hundred years behind the present well defined body of Educational information. For example, a large per cent of our present Elementary school curriculum is mere rubbish, kept in our schools to the nervous wrecking of many of our children, simply because of the general belief that hard study develops the convolutions of the brain. It seems to me that it is about time for the public to be informed that this is untrue They should also be impressed with the fact that memory, imagination, reason, etc. cannot be trained by the study of certain subjects in school. The next big problem is to sell the theories of modern Education to the public. It is high time for the schools and the people in general to come to a mutual understand¬ ing that Education is concerned primarily with the improvement of behavior in the conduct of daily life, and that Education can take place only through a normal first hand participation in life’s problems as such problems are progressively significant in the affairs of society. It should be known that the experiencing of problems of life should precede the teaching of the principles of living. It should also be known that regardless of the professional fitness of our teachers the status of Education in our schools will be determined largely by the standards of life of the community. Extension The Extension department of the Normal school is responsible for Beveral types of service, namely, correspondence courses, extension classes, institute courses and lectures, lyceum and appointment work. Correspondence Work A large variety of subjects may be taken by correspondence, which, when completed satisfactorily, w||| count toward a certificate or di¬ ploma from the Normal school. Extension Classes Extension classes may be organised at any place which can be easily reached from Ellensburg, whenever a class of sufficient site to warrant such an undertaking can be formed. Institute Courses and Lectures Different members of the faculty may be obtained for institute work, talks to high schools, to parent-teachers’ meetings, and for commencement addresses by payment of expenses. Entertainments of concerts and reading may he arranged, also. Lyceum Courses for three years the Dramatic club in combination with the Music department and Physical Education department has prepared a pro¬ gram which has been presented in different parts of the state. The program consists of readings, plays, songs and dances. After each presentation many favorable comments have been heard and an in¬ variable request for a program another year. Appointment Service While the Normal does not guarantee its graduates positions, it does make guud every possible effort to place its graduates in good positions, and nearly all of It graduates and many holders of ele¬ mentary certificates arc placed before the beginning of the fall term of school. Social Science What Kind of a Science? Social Science is the fortunate science that has as its task and privilege the discovery and revelation of the human interest — the meaning for men—of all the other sciences and other fundamental human institutions such as religion, art, government and the family. Social Science is perhaps the smallest of the major sciences if it be measured by its original contributions to positive knowledge. Few If any of Its contributions to knowledge can stand without confirma¬ tion and proof from psychology, biology, theology or some other science. Yet, at the same time, it 1 b the central—in a definite sense the greatest — the ultimate science — for its province is, or is coming to be, the large scale application of the results of all other sciences to the problems of human welfare. It is the science of intelligent citizenship—that is, full dally social citizenship—and not mere occasional voting citizenship. It is becom¬ ing the one science above all others (composite of the conclusions of the special sciences! which every educated man should know. f ! i I s : I : i Biology The Biology department of the Normal school offers courses in pure and applied phases of Biology. Those in pure science are given by Dr. Munsen, and include work on animals and plants in mor¬ phology, histology and evolution. The students of thiB school have an opportunity for technical biology study afforded few Normal stu¬ dents. Dr. Munson is a research worker of high standing among bi¬ ologists. If some day you should forget your shyness of him and ask him about his work, he would smile with amusement in his eyes, and perhaps he might show you the big stock of cytological drawings stored in the depths of the old desk— the record, long years of investi¬ gation; he would explain to you exactly what each meant —the struc¬ tural existence of the aster, and many other wonderful discoveries he has tying there unpublished for lack of time— and if you were a scientist you would marvel at the ability of the thinker and experi¬ menter, and if you were a student like most of us are, you would listen with an attempt to appear wise and you ' d think he had said what ‘e ought to ' a ' said and coomed awai.” The Biology department is also offering service courses for the de¬ partment of Home Economics aud Physical Education. These aim to meet departmental demands in the Biological field. At present there are two laboratories given over to Biological work — one equipped for the pure sciences and one fitted to meet im¬ mediate needs in applied biology. With the rapid expansion of the school, it will soon become necessary to obtain better accommodations for the classes in biology — which need will probably be met when the new building program goes into effect. Art The aim of this department is, not to turn out great artists, but to give every person, whether he is going into the teaching profession or not, mental principles of Art and their application. Art methods for the Primary, Intermediate and Grammar grades are offered for those taking up these respective lines of work. The practical application of the principles learned, are found in stenciling, woodblock printing, needle craft, weaving, poster making, cut paper work, etc. A course in Interior Decorating applies the principles to the decoration of the home. Mias Pearce has a very able assistant in the person of Misa Turtle who came to us the second quarter. She has charge of courses in Lettering. Kindergarten-Primary Handwork, Clay Modeling, Pottery and Book Binding. Last November, the Pallrte Shop was opened by the Art Majors. The purpose of this shop is to furnish the holiday cards, favors posters and other gifts and cards to the school. The Shop has done quite a bit in this direction, hut we hope next year will make it more popular than ever. ! i : I Department of History Hixtory is becoming an exact science. The law which govern human kind direct the great march toward a goal in the nations. In the Btudy of the nations we have found in our classes that similar conditions produce similar results or to use the more common phrase, “History repeats itself.” For instance after the study of the French Revolu¬ tion we may, as students of history interpret with almost prophetic knowledge the events of the Rus¬ sian Revolution. At the same time we must take into consideration the changes and the problems which move with the great Russian people. We may trace the commercial life in like manner. In 14412 the discovery of the new world put England on the direct route of the trade of the world and slowly, unknown to the men of that day the com¬ merce of the Mediterranean went to the new force on the seas, the Anglo Saxon. With a vision of men looking into an unknown and untrodden world they spent their energies in war and peace towards the commercial life which was theirs for the struggle. When the Panama Canal was opened another epoch started in our world contest of nations. From that time the commerce of the seas started towards the Pacific Ocean and now America is in a new venture for the great commerce of the Orient. The problems of the next thousand years will be on the Pacific. Our state of Washington as a virile part of the American Republic will play a major part in this commercial contest. Our Normal classes are studying history with the problems of the past so that we may go forth over this state and proclaim the coming events of this new dawn of a wonderful day for us in Washington. We will also prepare a new generation for the problems of the Pacific and they will thoughtfully and carefully consider our pioneer efforts towards the future solution of our commercial supremacy.

The Library hopes to keep pace with the growth of the advanced college courses in the school, so that students coming here for these courses may have as good library facilities as any school in the Northwest. Many books for general reading have been added to the Library during the last year. The books on biography, travel and popular science, to mention only three fields, have been especially popular; and show conclusively that our students are doing more reading than that made necea- „ary by their regular school work. We feel that one of I the’ most Important functions of any school library is to B stimulate the reading of good books. Finally, the reference collection of the Library has i I I ' ll received some attention. We hope to build up the reference collection so that it will not only take care of the work of the school, but answer the needs of the community as well. There seems to be a real need for this service, as there is no other library of any site in this part of the state. The Library has grown so greatly, both in patronage and book stock, that the work is being greatly handicapped at present by lack of room. The reading rooms are crowded daily, and every evening students have to go elsewhere to find seats. The shelves are overcrowded, and even the device of removing the government documents to a room on another floor, has helped but little. At present, plans are being drawn for a modern fire-proof library building. If the appropriation for this is granted at the next session of the legislature, the Library will be in a position to give better service to the school and more help to the community than has been possible in the past. 3 Classes Third Year Tkc Third Year Class Numbered among the .student of the school is a group of individuals who stand out preeminently. This same group, when traced down are found to be the members of the third year class. This year the third year class joined with the second year class as a body, believing that more could be accomplished by such a procedure. It was not that the third year students were afraid to venture upon the seas, as a class by themselves, but in Union there is Strength. O. W. IIEC SC II Speed Entered f rom Mossy Itock: Course, Physical Education A careful study of this group of intellectuals will disclose the following interest¬ ing information. First, the renowned Speed is a member of the class. Speed, who received his nickname from his remarkable burst of speed, when chased by an infuri¬ ated farmer who discovered him in hia apple tree, has always taken an active part n student affairs. Resides his regular school work. “Speed” is a vice-president of the Delta Pi Phi, house manager at Soden, secretary of the A. S. B., a member of the Pi Omega, and when not too busy finds time to manage the Student Book Store. He has played prominent parta in the following plays: “Taming of the Shrew,” “Maker of Dreams and “Polly With a Past. GRACE COON “Coonie N. N. I. 8., South Dakota: Home Economics u TV second member of this far famed group of students is none other than Coonie” better known for her exceptional work in Home Economics. Grace heard the call of the Ellensburg Normal when she was studying in South Dakota. Packing her grip, she came to the fertile field of learning and has since taken an active part in all school work. Finding her chief interest in Home Economics, she has majored in that line. From the tpye of work she has turned out and the interest she has displayed in that field, we venture to state that she is going to make a wonderful teacher and also a wonderful home keeper. JAMES COWAN “Jimmie’ U. of W,: General , We ye V wan ' nd our «� l� w tnily commence. Jimmie is one sL ut W . ' , r ; hanl to wrlU U P- principajly because anythin that can say about them l not half good enough. Looking over his activities we find that Jimmie was a member of the S. O. staff. Then a little later we find £ Z er H orl | ,m lhe «� “ the case with all such work, was never appreciated but nevertheless he has kept plugging away and each week has turned out a paper that’ h« done the school proud. No, content to lay around In his 1 ' Z, r turned out for deb.,. While lack of time kept him ’’th am tZTte T £ not cease, and from the work which he did and the interest he showed, he was elLttd to the Delta Kappa Pi, honorary debating society.

During the summer quarter “Jack started and lead a school orrhestra, that would he a credit to any school. “Jack” has his own orchestra which has been enjoyed at so many of the A. S. B. dances, well us the big town dances. Mis leaving will be a loss to the school that is going to be hard indeed to fill. JANET JENSEN “Jane Kllenshurg High: Grammar “Jane is one of those quiet, demure girls who makes little noise but does lots of work. Being a local product has not affected except to make her more proficient. Her chief fame rests in the fact that she was one of the mainstays of the year’s debating team, being second speaker on the affirmative team. She has also been an active member of the W. A. A. and a credit indeed to that organisation. ANNE I.APPENBISCH “Ann Iturkley High: General Ann has in more than one instance proven that good work has its reward. Her biggest trust was tried when she was elected treasurer of the second year class. She showed while in that office that one can get hlood from a turnip. Being athletically inclined she became a member of the W. A. A. and has been one of the hardest working girls in that club. Not content to let a girl of her ability off without plenty of work, the girls of the Kamola Hall association elected her vice-president of that club. MARION MAPLETHORP Mary Ann Puyallup High: Intermediate I ' amous for its production of berries, the Puyallup valley might better lay claim to fame by the production of the type of girls like Mary Ann. Mary Ann came to this school unheralded in any way, only to prove herself by sheer hard work. Par¬ taking of a little dramatics, her exceptional ability forgrd her to the front by leaps and bound The dramatics class showed their admiration of her work by electing her secretary of their club. Her best work was displayed in the cast of the Forest Ring. RANDOLPH MTELLER “Randy” Arthur Hill High, Mich.: Physical Randy” is another one of those Down Easterners who heard the call of the El- Iensburg Normal. Coming here, his genial nature and big heart made him an immedi¬ ate favorite with all the students. His activities have been many. In the fall of 21 his two hundred pounds made miserable many an opponent on the football field. His wonderful lung capacity made him the unanimous choice for yell king. Cursed by a bad attack of appendicitis “Randy” was unable to play football in ‘22. However, he came back in ”23 and did more than his bit for the school. In his spare moments Randy” has turned to the field of literature and dramatics. He has labored for two years on the Student Opinion staff and this year he has been one of the most con¬ scientious of the Hyakem staff. He was elected to membership in the Delta Pi Phi and hus played prominent roles in several plays. FRANCES NIBM EL A “Frankie W. S. C.: Home Economics “Frankie ’ came to us from W. S. C. Being a home loving type of girl she naturally took to Home Economics. With her Interest in that field she found no time for the seething struggle of activities. Always cheerful though quiet, “Frankie was a popular favorite with all. Her departure will leave a vacant chair which is going to be ex¬ tremely hard to fill. RUTH ORT.MAN Ruth Ellensburg High: K. P. Ruth makes up in brain, what she lacks in size. Being small herself, she naturally likes little children so is majoring in Primary work. The supervisors say of her work that it is exceptional, which can be expected from an exceptional girl. Ruth has a great love for the out-of-doors and has given vent to this love by joining the W. A. A. Of late Ruth has shown considerable interest in chemistry and the question arises, will the children lose a great friend to chemistry ? FRANCES SALIGER “Sally” Chehalis High: Intermediate “Sally is a Chehalis product and one of which that town might well be proud. With her chief interest found in the intermediate department, she has bent all her efforts toward being a specialist in that field. Her name will be written in big letters in the final history of education. AVI8 SCHAFER “Avery” Elma High: Primary “Avery” found her chief interests in the small children. Her creed is “Get them young, treat them right and form correct habits.” Being a major in Primary work, she has naturally been an active member of the Kappa Pi. Her chief claim to fame rests in the joyful greetings with which she is met by the little tots when she ap¬ proaches the Training school. The Good Book will show after her name, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” GLEN SEYMOUR •‘Glen” Ellensburg High: Genera) Among those present we find Glen Seymour. Always a hard working, trustworthy young man, Glen has had numerous responsible jobs thrust upon him. In 22 we find him Athletic Manager for the A. S. B. Also advertising manager of the Student Opinion. Having shown his ability in these fields he was next made vice-president of his class as well us class athletic commissioner. Since his nature called for more work, we find Glen a member of the Biblepoiles. Exerrptional work in History quali¬ fied him for membership in the Heroditeans. His latest achievement is that of be¬ coming supply sergeant in the local machine gun company. KEITH SEYMOUR “Sheik Ellenshurg High: Ed. and Psychology Keith derived his nickname from his good looks. But as he is want to say, “I can’t help it. Sheik ha been in so many different things that only a few will be mentioned here, else some get the idea that thi book is a history of the lives of great men. Though small m stature Sheik had a great love for the roughness of the foot¬ ball field, and with his generalship ability he made an ideal quarterhack, which position he held through three years. Keith ha a distinction of being at present, the only mem¬ ber of the Spear and Grail in school. In ' 22 we find Shiek on the S. O. staff and a little later business manager of the Hyakem. Profiting by his experience of the year before Keith made an ideal editor for last year’s annual. Along with editing the Hyakem Keith found time to be class president and a member of the debate team. This year Sheik has piloted the A. S. B. from the chair of president. Among some of his lesser activities we find him a member of the Crimson W club, Pi Omega and Kibliophilies. I,0R1N IJA SHORT “Linny” Ellensburg High: Intermediate Linny” ia another local product. Being blessed with u keen mind Linny” is proving herself to be cne of the high I js of the school. Believing that one should prepare for future life while in school, she has spent her time in getting an education and doing some teaching on the side. “Linny” has not disclosed many of her activi¬ ties t o us but should you care to find out more there ia one source in particular from where you may get your information. JOHN SIMON 1)8 llyak” Bothell High: Education and Psychology Hyak” derived his name from his duties of this year, numely editor of this year’s Hyakem. He has long been identified with the literary fields of the school, having served on the S. O. staff, and later labored as editor of the same paper. Besides these small jobs “Hyak” found time to be his class president, yell king of the A. S. B., school printer and a member of the Pi Omega. “llyak” when interviewed stated that his big wish was that this year ' s book be bigger and better in every way, a book which will do the school justice; and then that some of the perpetual crabs lake a shot at editing either a year book or a school paper.

UlMIMIIMIHIl ' “ “ -tmuM lluiMin� U l MIHIMMM||a WT«u SEftlOR 5HCAK Sunday afternoon the generals of the Second Year clues met in their secret ”j | nl j p | an8 for what was probably the most successful sneak ever pulled in this |T From early morning till late in the evening the five consulted railroad time 8C bies map ami roads in an endeavor to find a suitable place for their big picnic. At jV ( h iy decided on Horlick and plans were laid accordingly. One evening a young walked Into the library and convinced “Inky the Krosh president that he should journey down to the studio to look at some pictures. “Inky” being of a cheerful and unsuspecting disposition considered this quite a compliment and immediately left u tabic around which were grouped his valiant freshman warriors. Leaving the Ad. building the boys started for town when a car drove up and offered them a lift. This was satisfactory so in climbed the boys. Everyone being in good spirits, it was decided that a short ride might be appropriate so the crowd headed for Thorp. “Inky” led in the singing of College Days, etc., and talked of the wonderful evening. Finally after getting out some seven miles in the country the boys started to tie Inky” up. It was then that he queried, “When are you going to pull your sneak?” With our own class president in the car and the Frosh president in our possession we naturally felt fine, leaving “Inky In the hands of an experienced colleague the ear returned to its native haunts. Here, the group was met by another group of Second Year men and snow- shoes. skiis and bob-sleds were carried to the Milwaukee depot. Long about 12:30 forms could be seen leaving Kamola and long about 3 a. m. the N. P. depot looked like a Thursday assembly. Tickets were purchased to Thorp and there the sneakers got off. Hiking to the Milwaukee depot in the wee small hours, through mud, with a cold breeze coming right off the mountains and chilling them through was enough to dampen the spirits of anyone except this remarkable class. Along about 7:00 a. m. the train came into sight and we all kuarded for Horlick. One hundred fifteen men and women, all lient on a good time with the joke on the Freshman class. But in the meantime the same Freshmen were sleeping peacefully in their beds till along about 7:80 some said, “Where’s the Seniors?” That was the question, where were they? Calling up the N. P. they found out that the class of 20 hud bought tickets to Thorp. Naturally they were elated to think they had made such a remarkable discovery and the class went to the depot to take the next train. This they did, all murder in their eyes. Arriving at the neighboring village the Frosh looked in vain for their superiors. They were not there, but instead bad gone on to Horlick and no more trains would be up that day. Poor Frosh. That’s all right, your turn is coming next year.

SEYMOUR President MeARTHUR Student Manager The Associated Student Body, this year tried n plan hitherto used only in larger institutions. The plan, that of having a student manager, was at first doubted by many, but since it has been put in operation, it has greatly accelerated the business of the Student Body and has proven a big success. The student munugcr, Mr. McArthur, was an ideal man to attempt thiB experiment, being blessed with a guod business head. The body as a whole, under the leadership of Keith Seymour, has accomplished a great many things this year, and in the future, will undoubtedly continue on its up¬ ward climb. Officers for the year were, Keith Seymour, president; Lydia Jones, vice-president; t)- W - Bueach, secretary; E. J. Lindberg, treasurer; Joe Hall, representative to the executive council and Ted McArthur, student manager. ,—0 The Student Opinion The Student Opinion ha tried to be an expression of the thought ami the activi¬ ties of the students of the F.llensburg Normal. It ha earnestly tried to represent no one set, class, or clique more than another; it has tried to be what the students of the school wanted in the line of a student publication. In the past year, the paper has passed through the hands of two editors. The first, John Slmonds, held the position for the Fall quarter and then was promoted to the editorship of the Annual. During his term of office, the paper improved as to style anil contents. When his successor, James Cowan, took over the work, he was con¬ fronted with the problem of maintaining the high quality of Journalism to which the paper had been raised. Unlike any other student activity or undertaking, the mistakes of the editor is placed before the eye of the whole student body in the contrasting colors of black and white. For this reason the editor receives more criticism than any other student officer. But it is only through this criticism, both constructive and destructive, that he is able to judge the reaction of the readers to hi work. Bh 3 The 192 1 H yak. m met with alt the trials anil tribulations met by other yearbooks. To begin with the editor was not appointed till the beginning of the second quarter, making it necessary to do In two quarters what ordinarily takes three, lilcssed with a hard working staff, the work has been a pleasure, though at times, we will admit, a cruel driver. To all who have helped with the book we want at this time to express our thanks. The staff feels that the co-operation received from the students was the big thing that has made the book what it is.

The officers for this year were: President, Tom Davis; Vice-President, Bill Luff; Secretary, Marion Maplethorpe; Treasurer, Marie Selby; Social Commissioner, Helen Hanson; Business Manager, Thelma Jackson; Property Manager, Leland Neimela; Stage Manager; Ruth Miller; Mistress of the Wardrobe, Mable Hjort; Sergeant-at-Arms, Sarah Stobbs. Under the capable direction of Miss Davidson the Dramatic Club opened its season last fall with “Polly With a Past, by George Middleton and Guy Bolton. This very clevery comedy made an instantaneous hit, winning laurels for the new first year talent as well as for the seasoned veterans from the year before. The play was pre¬ sented two nights with the following cast: llarry Richardson __ Tom Davis Rex Von Zille .. Felix Rea Prentice Von Zile ____ “Speed Beusch Stiles. . .— Warren W’ebster Clay Collum. ..—,._ Sig Fogarty A Stranger ___..._ Emmet Buel Commodore Barker __ Schuyler Dartt Polly Shannon - Gladys Bailey Mrs. Van Zile .

Miss Davidson’s advanced students directed the following one act plays successfully: “The Rescue, “The Sweet Meat Game,” “The Rehearsal,” “The Marble Arch, Lithuania.” “Aunt Maggie’s Will,” “In Honor Bound,” “Wrong Numbers,” “Holly Tree Inn,” “Love in a French Kitchen,” “The Bird’s Christmas Carol,” “Klcurette and Company.” The club as a body had several parties during the year, the feature one being their stunt party at which they initiated the Little Theater. Other pleasing events proved to bo a Mu Jongg party and a Taffy pull. 0 ' Lyceum p troupe, or lyceum, consisting o t eight dls- hor the third time, a dramatic clt (e jr Alma Mater, toured the Western coast of tinguished members in the Interest of t ig vicinity of Ellensburg, carrying forth and the State of Washington, and surroundi typical of the Ellensburg Normal, leaving with their audiences that spirit «jls concerning the activities of this troupe ' s To belabor readers with delicate de tiro® and space will not permit.

To accom¬ modate the people the company staged the fantasy at the Elks temple. There was a continuous per¬ formance from 8:45 to 11:30. Favors were given away with each ticket and to quote Cub Reporter Cowan of the S. O. the idea was “unique.” The stage properties consisted only of a huge Crimson W”, which made a striking back¬ ground. A touch of comedy was intro¬ duced in Scene 10. when the en¬ tire company executed solo dances. Much credit of the success of the performance is due to the director, Randolph E. Mueller, of international fame. DnimniwimHiiMN i ! ?

The spirit displayed hv tl.e second string was remarkable and it is to them that a great deal of credit should go 0 KHALI) BRUNSON Jerry “Jerry” was oul ' captain, And pretty hard to beat. And a center with an accurate pass, And always on hi feet. Could grasp a play, every tackle made a fall And in defense was like a stone wall. PURL STONE “Stone ,BC, A big strong lad with hair of red During one of our hardest games was sent to bed. His place was tackle, two years he starred; If they tried to lay him out he came hack twice a hard. He wa our manager but played just the same, And when it came to holding Lhc line he was as solid as his name. When he played people watched him with a thrill. He leaves a position and suit next season, some one must fill. RAY THOMPSON He ployed because he loved the game. Whether guard or tackle he fought just same. The only thing that kept him off the battle Was the surgeon ' s knife and hospital ward. But he never lost his smile or pep, But cheered from the side lines to help keep our rep. OI.EN SIMPSON Okie” He never battled on our field before, But on other fields won fame. He was cool headed, the cause of many a score By his playing we knew he was an old hand in the game. It made no difference, whether half or quarter. He played with shrewdness in either place. And hushed many an opponent’s laugh When they saw that determined face. Halfback Quarter KKITH SEYMOUR Keith K ' ith, our quarter, called the plays, And by his headwork made the people gaze. With his three years ' experience in the football fame, Whether win or lose he always played the game. And as a safety man we had none better; If the ball came in his territory he was sure to get her. WALTER LILIAN Walt” “Walt ' ' was our dependable half, Who hit the line like a wild bull ralf. If gain we wanted through the line We ' d give it to Walt and he ' d make it every time. You could see a smile come over his face As he caught the ball and put it in place, And went down the field with a maddening pace And a stiff arm, Boy that would ruin any face’ BERT PHILLIPS Sheik For football he had a perfect build, and that black hair That got dirty and uncurly after each game, but he didn ' t So long as he did his best and played it fair. Was built for his position as half; Always played hard for the team’s behalf. And in perfect harmony with his team-mates worked In practice or real game never shirked. ALONZO TEETERS “Pop A new man in our midst, With not much to say but always had Mb eye on the goal, Whenever he hit the line he opened up u hole. Hard knocks he got many but never flinched. The longer he played the harder he hit; He would do anything for the team ' s success, And all through the season kept up his aggressiveness. Halfback Halfback care. Fullback Fullback He knew every signal of half or full. Played lull with light back field a a rule. Although coach said “You’re a little light. lie did not quit, but was out for practice every night. When the battle raged and the whistle blew, And our man was carried off the fieli . Davis went in with a determine,! grin. And did his best for the school. WARREN WEBSTER “Web When “Web” came here he put a suit on To keep the record of our institution. At first he knew nothing of the game, Hut lifter hours of practice in football, made a name. Opponents through Web” made no gain; We hope when the fever comes next year We’ll have “Web with us again. SCHUYLBR DARTT Dart Another guard we had by the name of Dartt, And in every game played his part. He hit the line hard and opened the way. If on his side they directed the play. His first year’s experience with Crimson and Black Will be here again to give it another whack. Guard Guard - F� a - « • wa ,, Th., V.M ,i« .� ■■ ' • ' W ' l — “ He could place kick, drop kick or punt. it takes many yean, of practice to perform this stunt. Three years’ of service he gave, to the day. To make the championship come to stay. End Q. Basketball What our prospect was for a winning basketball team, was hard to determine, for, out of the group of 22 men who suited up, only three were known to the school as tried basketball player . These three were “Husky” Fowler and Frank Robinson of last year’s Varsity and Felix Rea of last year ' s Super-Varsity. We were unfortunate in losing Felix and Frank soon after the opening of the second quarter, as they had to quit school. After about ten day of good hard workout under the eagle eye of Coach Leonard we had our first game. EATONVILLE ALUMNI. 21 vs W. S. N. «. 2� This game might have been called Eatonville vs. Entonville. for after Coach Leonard had made his selection there were three of F.atonville’s old high school stars in the line-up. It proved to be a fast game, ending at the end of the first half with a score of 12 to 12 in favor of the Alumni. Coming back to the second half with true fighting spirit and with good support from the guards, the Normal forwards finished the game with the final score of 29 to the Alumni ' s 2-4. On the mo rning of the 21st of January the men gathered at the Milwaukee depot from which they were to start their Eastern trip. As the zero hour grew near they began wondering what had happened to the coach, and when the engine tooted it farewell warning he was still nowhere to be found. By a super-human sprint and assisted by two Normal girls who carried his lug¬ gage, he arrived at the platform in time to wave a farewell to the boys, fast fading in the distance. CHENEY IS v . W. S. N. S. 15 Reporta from this game were to the effect that it was purely a case of experience vs. inexperience which naturally resulted in the lop-sided score of 43 to 15 in Cheney ' s favor. WHITWORTH 9 vs. W. S. N. S. 37 The first ten minutes of this game was the only time that Whitworth could be hopeful and from then on even that waB dashed upon the rocks. Using a combination perfected by the lesson learned at Cheney, the Ellensburg scoring machine was hard to beat, and the game ended with a score of 37 to nine In our favor. SI’OKANE COLLEGE 22 vs. W. S. N. S. 35 This game wa more evenly matched than the other two, for at the end of the first half, the score waB 15 to 16 in favor of the Hyaks. All through the first half the scores were never two points apart, hut with the I beginning of the second period the Normal men found their pace, and at the end of I the game had a score of 35 point to Spokane College ' s 22.

You may praise the work of the first team to the skies-and you should. But in your moments of admiration, when you are thinking of the feats of your stars, pause long enough to give thanks to the men who daily did their hit to give the school a team. These men realized that they had no chance to make their letter, yet they took the knocks and bumps handed out by the first string, knowing that in so doing they were helping to make a better team for the W. S. N. S So here’s to the second string—the subs. The boys who daily took the rubs, The knocks, the bruiBes, yes the hurts, Dealt out by the men playing on the first. Without a whimper they did their part. They played the game with body and heart. A sweater they knew they would not earn But. a belter team was their earnest yearn.

Be t uld break up anything from a happy home to Cheney ' s moat complicated play and never seem to VXI?r Duke wfli be with us next year to pass the sphere to victory. JOHN HEINDKICK Pope-—tinned We could always depend upon Pope to give us a good game. He was always careful never to let hiB opponent best him in any department of the game and was the most consistent player of the group. Regardless of his graduation this spring we think he will be hack to fill his old position. HAN NELSON Pop”—Forward When it came to stature “Pop” was a little man but what he lacked in height he could certainly make up in jump. He played both a fast game on the floor as well as in the air. We hope he will be back next year to take a regular place on the squad. OUN SIMPSON Okie”_Guard Let me see, oh yes, he is the man who used to dribble up under the forward ' s nose and then drop in the two points while hia opponents were trying to catch up with him. He was an exceptionally good running guard, being blessed with lota of speed and an accurate eye. He made a beautiful running mat.! for Pope. Girls ' Athletics Baseball Ai the beginning of the full quarter of 1928 about fifty girl turned out for base¬ ball They were divided into two sections with Dorothy Smith and lou Collin coaching the two sections. Two good teams were chosen. The two teams chose their names and then the Kate Klaners challenged the Horse Shoe Gang to a game. The Horse Shoe Gang won by a large score of 80 to 8. On Campus Day, April 1, a Senior baseball team was chosen by Edna Abbott and a Junior team by “Carp.” A game was played between these two teams. With a five inning game the Juniors won by a score of 20 to 10. Those playing Junior team were: Ethel Savage, Jean Main, Lettie Mae Gassel, Helen Merritt, Irene Gendron, G. Nelson, Helen Deputy, Virginia Witt, “Carp. ' Hockey With only 50 girls turning out for hockey during the fall quarter 1923, which was a comparatively small number to that of previous year , and with unfavorable weather conditions it was impossible to have any class games; however, many interesting games were played. Miss Allen, the coach divided the girls into groups, each group consisting of two teams and some subs. A winning team was chosen from each group by a captain who was chosen by the girls. The eaptain were Edith Kisear captain of the Kaiser” team, and Eskridge captain of the Rainbow . In the final Hockey game the “Kaisers were victorious. The score was 2-0. This was the la t game of the series of three. Volley Ball With fifty-six girl , a larger turnout than ever before volleyball, a minor sport, roused much interest among the girls.

Levada Jordan Corresponding Secretary ___ Lamoine Tuck On November seventeenth in the year nineteen hundred and twenty three the Great Spirit communicated with Mr. Fish. That same afternoon the inspired one called a few of his worthy students together in his Wigwam to smoke the pipe of peace anil gain knowledge. The Great Spirit had smiled upon his children and these few were the favored ones. When the council had come to a close one more organiza¬ tion was added to those already formed ill W. S. N. S. Again the children of the Great Spirit met in aolemn council. They decided that since Herodotus was u much respected gentleman of ancient and world-wide fame ns the first historian, they would become his followers, and they called themselves Hero¬ doteans. They chose their password, designed their shield, and before the end of the year they will wear pins so that all the world may recognize them as students of the written records. On the second and fourth Tuesday of every month the fire in the Wigwam Is kindled and the Herodoteans meet to discuss their business affairs and give report on the civilizations they are studying. No one may enter the Wigwam who does not have a historical record of B or above. May all the Herodoteans be guided by the lamp of knowledge and experience and go out into the world to give service.

As they watched the flame grow brighter they talked of a club where those who liked bookB could come and meet with others of a feather and talk over their findings of the week; a place where they could discuss the discoveries they had made while skimming through crisp leave of new books, or while turning faded pages of an old vulume. Although bound to the past by respect and reverence for its seers of literature they offered no white skinned sacrifice of youthful evening time upon the ancient alter of fetish constitutional worship. Wiser than the powdered wigs of Washington’s duy, they adopted no ensnaring constitution. Thr fire burned brighter, the logs fell apart, a bed of gluwing coals spread its splendor under the protection of the lirirk hack walls and reflected its warmth of color in the faces of the planners. Two weeks passed, the same group was reading and talking in the brick room. Who are they?” one asked. “They call themselves the Bibliophiles,” the other answered, olid I hear that it is pretty hard to get in, cause they ' ve limited the mem¬ bership to only ten, just think, only ten!” Twice a month they meet and twice a month they approach the paradise of which the old Persian astronomer sang; “A loaf of bread beneath the bough A book of verse, a jug of wine, and thou Singing beside me in the wilderness, The wilderness is paradise now.” The members of the club are: Mr. Richards, Austa Lee, Glen Seymour, Billie Dickson, Keith Seymour, Gladys Paiuter, Jack Gorline, Ruth Cull and Willard Geer.

The Charter members of this Club are as follows: Wroe Alderaon, Wendell Barnes, Wm. Charleston, Ivan Fowler, John Robinson. Randolph Meuller, Frank Robinson, Kenneth Rankin, Boh DorBey, Lloyd Cook, Bill Harmon and Keith Seymour. The purpose of the organisation is to develop and to preserve a high standard oi athletics in our school, to assist the coach in carrying out any constructive jndlcy, to promote interest in athletics and to Increase the academic efficiency of the athlete. The club interested in the continuation of these standards has felt it advisable and necessary to organise a club wherein they could work with these ideas. This organization will do much to attract the type of men who are most desirable in carrying nut the educational work of our land. The Varsity ball which was sponsored and conducted by the Crimson W” Club was one of the outstanding features of the social events given this year. The B. P. O. E. temple was used for this occasion. The initiation of the new members also furnished entertainment and exeitement between halves during the Cheney game. All regularly enrolled students who hove won a major letter are eligible for membership in this organization. Features Community Hospitable to Students The people of Ellensburg. individually and through the Ellensburg j Chamber of Commerce have co-operated in every possible way with the j faculty and the student IkkI.v of the State Normal school to improve the | school ' and make the stay of the students in the community pleasant, j One of the annual features is a picnic generally given in the spring, g when the Chamber of Com¬ merce furnishes automobiles to transport the entire stu¬ dent body to one of the near¬ by canyons. In the spring of 1923 the picnic was held at the Campfire Girls’ lodge in the Taenum canyon. Over 100 automobiles were furnished by Ellensburg people for the transportation and business men who drove the cars took part with the students in the various games and contests staged during the day. In the Taenum are government camp grounds, in the heart of the big timber. Excellent trails lead up the canyon towards Mt. Rainier and over the walls of the canyon into virgin ter¬ ritory, delightful for the man or woman who loves nature and the big out of doors. There is good fishing not only in the Taenum but in other canyons and streams. The Chamber of Commerce committees have also assisted the students in many activi¬ ties. in promoting big athletic contests, in bringing in lec- ui-ers and musical programs and in supporting all student activities. Ellensburg has an unusually advantageous location for an institution f higher learning. It is easily accessible from all parts of the state, the •limate is bracing and healthful and the community progressive and pros¬ perous. The beautiful valley, surrounding foothills and mountains, with :anyons and lakes affords wonderful opportunities for excursions of re- creation and study. A community the size of Ellensburg reflects good, hijth average American life and conditions free from the over-stmulus of the environment of a city and at the same time free from the disadvant¬ ages of village life. Young men and women who have completed their high school course and who are looking ahead to their higher education will find unusual op¬ portunities here in the Washington State Normal school. School life is delightfully pleasant, buildings and campus offer about everything to be desired, associates are the finest type of young men and women, the stu¬ dents are enabled to get in close personal touch with the facul¬ ty members and the saving in expense by coming to Ellens- burg is large. The campus is four blocks from the business section of the city and in one of the most pleasant residence sections. The wide open lawns, attrac¬ tive shrubbery and trees with flowers interspersed make it one of the beauty spots of the city. On the campus are situated the administration building, the training school, science hall, men’s building. Eswin hall, the men ' s club and dormitory, is on Seventh street, two blocks from the campus. New Athletic Field The Ellenshurg Normal to¬ day has one of the finest ath¬ letic fields of the institutions in the state as a result of the co¬ operative efforts of the Normal school, the Ellensburg school system, the Ellensburg Park and Playground association and the County Commissioners. This athletic field is leased for a three year period from the Park and Playground association, which leases the entire county fair grounds for 51 weeks in the year, other than at the time of the fair. The athletic field is encircled by a third mile track. It is large enough D for three football fields and the Ellensburg High school team and the Normal teams are able to use it for practice without interfemng with each other The grandstand and bleachers will seat over 5.000 people. In the lower section of the grandstand are two large locker rooms for each of the Normal and high school teams. There are several shower baths with both hot and cold water. The football playing field is centered in front of the large covered grandstand. It was used for the first time in the fall of 1923 and all Normal and High school games were played there. The athletic field also is used for baseball games and track meets. The straight¬ away in front of the grand¬ stand is long enough for the 220 . By this splendid spirit of co-operation between the schools and the communities it has been possible to obtain this fine athletic field for both the state Normal and the local schools. The field is less than four blocks from the Normal cam¬ pus and is ideally adapted for all forms of athletic contests. The community boosters are now working towards a plan to have a large skating rink on the fair grounds in the winter and hope to have a fine outdoor swiming pool before another year. I ! i i i i i i i � © ' ■ Delightful Dormitory The school employs an ath¬ letic coach for men who is also one of the faculty members. Football, basketball, baseball ai ' ti track events are engaged in according to the season. Con¬ tests are scheduled with other - S 7£ h00i and Wll T S in this and neighboring states, and the „,al teams are becoming known in the Northwest. An annual field da, held in the spring with intramural contests in which both men student, puttie .,e «, , hith tr „ phi „ ,.™ Kamola hall, the women ' s dormitory, is a modern building ealed and electric lighted, with accommodations for 174 students and clbT ng room capacity for 260. Adjoining Kamola hall is the women” Li d ' ng, which is one of the most attractive and complete buildings of its kind n the entire West. It is designed to afford a touch of ZE Vl Z dormitory. The tasty furnish- the ings and hangings, the cheer- ful foyer, the cosy fireplaces, I the beautiful drawing room, the J well appointed kitchen and din- fl ing room of the Home Econom- 1 ies unit all add to the attrac- j] tiveness of the building and t make it a social center for both students and faculty. The attendance at the win- ■fei sessions averages between •400 and 500 and the summer session between 500 and 600. This makes it possible to have ! mall classes where the teach¬ ers know the students inti- fTiately. A spirit of comrade¬ ship between faculty and stu¬ dents is manifest. Students j� Iso have their classes under the leaders in their respec¬ tive lines of scholastic work, jiiste ad of under subordinate instructors as in larger insti¬ tutions. Social life in the community means much in the Normal year. There are many opportuni¬ ties for students to earn money and pay all or a por¬ tion of their school expenses. The Normal will gladly co¬ operate with any students who desire in this way to com¬ plete their education. Ample provision is made for the physical well being of all students. There are physi¬ cal directors for both men and women, a large gymnasium, a play field, and tennis courts. Games, hikes and excursions are frequent. Part of the physical education equipment is a room fitted with correc¬ tive gymnastic apparatus, where students with slight physical defects arc required to exercise. An infirmary is located in Kamola hall, entirely sepa¬ rated from the rest of the building, and a nurse is constantly in charge. Low Cost of Education The comparative low cost at the Ellenshurg Normal makes an appeal to earnest students. It is possible to complete a year’s work keeping within a budget of $300. City Co-operates With School The people of Ellensburg co-operate with the various school activities. Frequently the business men of the city furnish cars for a monster school picnic held in one of the canyons. These picnics are thoroughly enjoyed by the students, the faculty and the people of the city. Business men have also co-operated in establishing lyceum and Chautauqua courses, which are always open to the students at special rates. Many of the Normal faculty and students also belong to the Mt. Stuart club, a club which makes many week end trips into the surrounding mountains and which has erected a lodge in the beautiful Salmon le Sac district in the heart of the Cascades. mountain thanes Kittitas county has three large mountain lakes, all reached bv highways, and many smaller ones, the latter with one or two ,, x , ' ,T° d being reached only by mountain trails. The largest lakes -,re Kaeh Keechelus an, ! Cle Slum. Keeehelus is on the Sunset Swav WS ’ or four miles East of Snoqualmie Pass. The Sunset high wav ovefwSh £ Y c ttzrjz ' z - park k“ h 1 ;;. rir :l i mw public camps operated by the United States forest service, there is a hotel camp and there is a mountain lodge on the lake shores and fronting the highway. Lake Kachess is more off the beaten line of travel. There is a beautiful mountain lodge on one of the prettiest spots along its shores. The load to this leaves the Sunset highway between Lake Keech- «lus and Easton. There is an¬ other road leading to the Southern end of the lake, but there is no hotel at that end and to reach the hotel a trip by boat is necessary. Lake Cle Elum is about “gilt miles off the Sunset highway, leaving the Sunset highway at the Cle Elum city limits and turning up towards and past Roslyn, the largest coal producing district in the Pacific Northwest. Lake Cle Elum is the largest of the three. There are manv sum- mer homes along this lake but Keechelus ha ' alre ' inieeird ' T L “ ke Kaehess “ ' • a« storage reservo L th.t T the edtral reclamation service Benton coun T Uke Cle Fl . f KitMtaa - Yakima and and when finally improvS W S b W,,od dam at outlet Following ph?n e eSt T re8erV0lr � ' th West. of the wildJaml m„8 b SuHf,d Ver S E ' Um Iead int0 most beautiful mountain countries in America. First comes Salmon le Sac, the forest service headquarters at the junction of the Cooper and Cle Elum rivers. Following up the Cooper river by trail first comes the magnificent Cooper river falls, then Cooj er Lake, then Joe Lake and Spectacle Lake, followed in turn by Glacier Lake and the glacier fields. A few hundred yards up the Cle Elum river is the junction with the Waptus river. Up this comes Waptus Lake and other mountain canyons, small lakes and fishing streams. In the Salmon le Sac country the Mt. Stuart Club, the Ellensburg Moun¬ taineers have erected their lodge. The road from the Sunset highway to Salmon le Sac is good, being paved as far as Roslyn and of macadam as far as Lake Cle Elum. There is a fair road, which is now being Improved by the county and the forest sendee, up the Cle Elum river to Fish Lake. From Fish Lake there is a good trail to Hyas Lake, lying snuggled against the main ridge of the Cascade range. Another pret¬ ty mountain lake is Lost Lake which is reached by a mountain trail from Keechelus station on the West shores of Lake Keechelus. In this section are also one or two other beauti¬ ful lakes, and also some re¬ markable waterfalls, the pret¬ tiest of which is Roaring Creek Falls. On this Cascade ridge up from Lake Keechelus the Seattle mountaineers have their lodge. Some Mountain Canyons From the main road between Cle Elum and Ellensburg are two branch canyons, well worth a visit of automobile tourists or an extended camp. The Teanaway canyon has three forks, which branch off several miles above the entrance. A logging railroad runs up the main canyon to Casland, near the forks of the canyon. The must accessible and the best from the sightseeing standpoint is the North or right hand fork. An automobile can travel up this for miles, every mile of the way opening up new scenery. Beyond the end of the automobile road are good trails leading up to the summit of the We- natchee ridge and the Mt. Stuart country. The main ridrre i, 7 ««« , xn height and offers a wonderful panorama view with jagged Mt° StuH only a mile or two to the North, a scene that is awe-lnspX u 8 el ‘ and perpendicular rock sides from this point make one of ? Vr mountain scenes in America. Snuggling at the base o f Stuart mountain lakes and on the North _ ' Uart are tw ° side is a large glacier. The road up the Swank canyon leads to Blewett Pass and into the Wenatchee country. There are some worth while scenic points all along this canyon. One passes a gigantic gold dredge in the Swauk, one of the oldest gold fields in the Pacific North¬ west. There are many mountain canyons leading out of the Kitti¬ tas Valley which offer the tour- its much to see for a day’s drive. The Taenum at the Northwest corner of the valley has a good road for 25 miles from Ellens- hurg. There is a free camp maintained by the government forest service. From this camp or from many other points in the canyon are trails leading off in the mountains that are most in¬ viting to the lover of the out¬ doors. The Menastash is reached by a good road and a car can be driven up it for many miles. In places this canyon narrows down to 100 yards in width and in other places there arc fruit farms, nurseries, lumber mills and the like. Ellensburg people never tire of driving up either of zzrjszr - - ■ these times ™, is™ T ' V or ,he T- however, as it is thewateJhe ,!S -T Care must used, water to the City of Ellensburg. ° ° e ° W “ ter 8yatems furnishing There are beautiful mountain falls in the Wilson Creek canvon ih Coleman can,™ „„ d Vmuaam. ,� add,ton th „„ .“cvrt ™ y .m ■e Caribou canyon and Robinson canyon. The government forestry service maintains attractive public camping grounds in the Taenum canyon. This canyon has long been one of the favorites. The Menastash, its neigh¬ bor to the South, also has a strong following. There are those who believe the Swauk and the Teanaway are the most attractive. All are good. Good Fishing There is fishing in every season of the year. There are over 2 0 0 miles of fishing streams in the county and many lakes. Here one can catch the Cut Throat trout, the Eastern Brook trout, the Silver trout, the Dolly Varden and game fish of almost every kind. In the winter there nre White fish to he caught in the rivers. In the fall there is hunting that brings thousands of hunt¬ ers here when the season is open for the Chinese Pheas¬ ants or the Hungarian part¬ ridges. The Sage hen is not found as frequently as of yore but up in the mountains are the grouse, that epicurians love. To the lover of the outdoors there is no more attractive district in the state, which as a whole offers the most beau¬ tiful scenery in America. Leaving Seattle or Tacoma by any of the roads which con¬ verge at Falls City, the drive is via Snoqualmie Falls, through North Bend, up the beautiful Snoqualmie river into the heart of the Cascade mountains. The highway is wide and smooth and comfortably cool on the hottest days. Shortly beyond the summit at Snoqualmie Pass, the automobile road runs along the shores of Lake Keechelus, now a huge storage reservoir of the federal reclamation service for the big irrigation projects in Kit¬ titas, Yakima and Benton counties. There are mountain lake hotels, hotel camp or free government camps available for the party that wishes to spend a night in the mountains. A detour a few miles byond the foot of Lake Keechelus offers a trip -0 over to Lake Kachess, another irrigation storage reservoir and a veritable gem of a mountain lake. The drive to any of these mountain lakes can be made after the close of work in Seattle office, factory or store, or it is pos¬ sible to drive through to Ellensburg. Hundreds of people every week drive between Ellensburg and the Sound cities in the late afternoon and evening. Along the entire route are many public camping places and in all the towns and many of the resorts are good hotels. From Easton to Cle Elum the state highway is in equally good condi¬ tion and there are good camping spots. Climate Excellent The climate in Kittitas county is always attractive. Though the mercury ascends in the sum¬ mer and drops below zero each winter, the lack of humidity in Ellensburg tends to prevent these extremes from being felt. No matter how hot the day has been in summer, a blanket is always appreciated at night and sleeping may be enjoyed in comfort. A pleasant feature of Kittitas valley summers is the fact that no hot spell continues for more than three or four days, when it is broken up by a delightful breeze that clears the atmosphere and reduces the tem¬ perature in nice fashion. Not only Ellensburg itself is adorned by an elaborate system of shade trees but the entire valley has been extensively planted, nearly every farm home being surrounded by tall poplars. From Craig’s hill that forms the east lwundar.v of Ellensburg, one may enjoy a panoramic view of the whole Kittitas valley and Ellensburg, which, in any time of the year, is a beautiful sight. Plans are now under way to develop this site into a municipal park and playground. A corporation has been formed and a big start has been made in the enterprise. The project probably will be j completed in the near future. Easterners have expressed the opinion that any city in the East would give a fortune for an equally attractive location, j i What to See Around Ellensburg. Wash., With Maps and Information How to Get There The purpose of these maps is to show how to reach some of the most beautiful spots in Kittitas county for camping, fishing, hunting, tramping ami for a general outing. One is a condensed road map of the county and one of the city showing those streets and roads to follow to reach the scenic spots mention¬ ed herein. In a limited space, it is abso¬ lutely impossible to give any description of any of the beau¬ tiful places. Suffice to say there are more than 200 miles of trout fishing streams in the county, there are three large lakes and a score of smaller. There are several beautiful mountain canyons, all within easy driving distance of Ellensburg. There are some of the most beautiful waterfalls to l e found anywhere. There are hundreds of miles of forest service trails leading to high mountains, materfalls, canyons and lakes. The visitor could spend weeks in Kittitas county and find interesting spots to drive or hike to every day. There are more pictures on display at the Chamber of Commerce office and information will be cheerfully furnished about each Uwality. In the valley itself can be found diversi¬ fied farming of every kind. In the Edgemont district will be found hun¬ dreds of acres of the best varieties of winter apples. In any part of the valley will be seen great hay fields, fine herds of livestock, grain and po¬ tatoes. Back in the foothills can be seen great flocks of sheep at their summer pasture in the forest reserves. There are scores of delightful places to camp, rest or fish. There are trails that lead to mountain peaks that give a panorama of scenery with few equals on the continent. State Normal School Campus, a place every visitor should see. Drive two blocks North on Pearl to Eighth, turn East on the paving and the Campus starts at the Second street intersection on the left. The first building is the Administration building. Back of it to the left on D street is the model Training school. Further East on Eighth is Kamola hall, the dormitory. Between the dormitory ' and the Administration building is Science hall. The athletic fields and playgrounds are in the rear of Science hall. Eswin hall, the boys’ club, is two block from the Campus. The Craig Hill Drive is one that every visitor should take to get a sweeping view of the entire valley and of the mountain rim that surrounds it on every side. Go South on Pearl street from the Chamber office three blocks to Third street, turn to the left and go East on Third, up Craig hill. At the first street beyond the new concrete hospital building, turn up the hill to the left and follow to the loop around the old water reservoir. This drive overlooks the Rodeo field. Fair County grounds and new athletic field Municipal Tourist Camp—The Municipal tourist camp is located on the banks of the Yakima river less than two miles from the Chamber of Com¬ merce office. From the Chamber office go one block South to Fifth street, turn West on Fifth and follow the paving, crossing the Northern Pacific tracks to the Yakima river. Scenic Drive—A wonderful scenic three-hour drive, affording a mag¬ nificent view of the Yakima river canyon above Thorp. Drive out Cle ■0 9 - - - turning off to the left. Follow up it to the Forest Service camp. Fair road for many miles up canyon. This is a beautiful canyon. Ask forest service ranger at camp as to trails.

Lake Cle Elum Country — From Ellensburg follow state highway signs to Cle Elum and beyond. At top of hill, there is a big arch marking paved highway to Roslyn. Follow it through Roslyn and follow signs to Lake Cle Elum. If you wish to go to Salmon le Sac, Fish Lake, and that country, follow forest service signs, at turn-off just before you reach Lake Cle Elum. Lake Kachess—Follow state highway West from Ellensburg through Cle Elum and Easton to the Doughnut Inn, where a sign points to the turn-off to Lake Kachess. - - - - . — . . . . . . . f Week-ending in Kittitas county is a popular pastime for hundreds of residents of Puget Sound cities. Ellensburg itself is but a five or six hours’ ride from Seattle. Motorists may leave the Sound after office hours Saturday afternoon and be in the heart of the Cascades long before dark. A choice of hundreds of most desirable spots may be picked, anyone of which is pleasant for a short stop. From the summit of Snoqualmie Lake Keechelus—Is located on the state highway West from Ellens, burg. Follow signs to Cle Elum, Easton and then the North Bend sign, until you reach the lake. Camping in Kittitas County Tourists and local residents have found Kittitas county to abound with attractive places where either short or long camping trips may lie enjoyed throughout the length of three seasons. All are within easy mo. toring distance of Ellensburg and by very good roads. To tourists, Ellensburg of¬ fers its municipal camping grounds, located on the banks of the Yakima river two miles West of Ellensburg, reached by a paved highway. This camp is completely equipped with every facility to accommodate guests, including electric lights, excellent water, stoves, tables and the like. The camp, em¬ bracing 30 acres, is situated in a grove of trees and is attrac¬ tively cool. The banks of the river are a pleasant place to partake of lunch. Thousands of the traveling public have taken advantage of this site although it was only formally opened in 1920. Cle Elum maintains an excel¬ lent municipal tourist camp grounds on the Sunset high¬ way, with stoves, water and all facilities. Ellensburg has many mod¬ em garages which offer ex¬ pert service at all times. To those who do not desire to camp out, good hotel accommo¬ dation is available. Sconces al {Ucnsbuct] municipal JuurislCamp is- -6 Pass the highway is dotted with camping sites. Hotels on I-ake Keechelus offer attractive accommodations. The lover of the outdoors finds m the mountains and foothills of Kittitas county everything that appeals to him. Here are rugged mountain peaks, always clad in snow; here are wonder¬ ful mountain lakes, large and small ; here are mountain canyons and over 200 miles of fishing streams; here are great forests, harboring wild game of all kinds. He can find every conceivable kind of sport, mountain climb¬ ing that rivals the Swiss Alps, hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, popular resorts and great ranges and canyons seldom trod by man. Here he can find wonderful mountain and valley roads over which to drive his car and from these roads a two-hour hike will take him into undeveloped moun¬ tain fastness. In the great Kittitas Valley on the Eastern slope of the Cascades is Nature ' s wonderful irrigation district, growing crops of every kind known to the temperate clime. And two hours ' driving from any point in this valley will carry one into the real Cascade mountains, without doubt the most beautiful in the United States. Surrounding this valley on every side are the toothills of the Cascades, on the North and West covered with virgin forests and on the East and South by green range land, spotted with dry wheat farms. Peeking over this brim are visions of snow clad peaks throughout the year. Over the Menastash canyon appears the summit of Mt. Rainier. To the Northwest appears Mt. Stuart, the Matterhorn of America, a jagged snow-covered peak that tempts th e lover of mountain ami high places. Mt. Stuart is only 9.270 feet in height but did it have the altitude of Rainier, C ’ U P’ 0 1 with its real problems, it would probably seldom, if ever, be ascended by man On two sides this mountain has perpendicular walls. On still a third no one has ever reached the summit. Only over a jagged saw tooth appearing ridge that offers problems greater than Gibraltar on Mt. Rainier, all its distance can the summit lie reached. The Kittitas Valley is reputed to have more sunshine than any val- ley in Washington, both summer and winter. As there is little humidity in the air. the summer days arc never oppressive and a ease of sunstroke is unknown. In the winter the absence of humidity makes the cold less pene- trating and less noticeable than in many districts where the themometer does not drop as low. . . .. 0 . Farm crops are almost universally dependent upon irrigation. Rain seldom, if ever interferes with harvesting, a pleasure trip, a picnic or an outing in the canyons or at the lakes. Kittitas Valiev ' s mild climate is emphasized by the fact that the win¬ ters are moderate and generally open, while the summers do not have any long hot spells, and the nights are invariably cool. A summary of the weather bureau’s report for the valley show that in many years there has been an average of less than seven nights each summer when the ther¬ mometer did not drop to 60 degrees or below. The average number ot days when the thermometer went above 90 is 16. The Kittitas Valiev is rather oval in shape Iwinjr 30 miles long in a Northwest and Southeast direction and about 20 miles in a Southwest and Northeast. The valley lies snuggled in the foothills of the Cascades, the HiMimiMiMiMimmm Sfo Jrripj ion iCJi of ' tar uJtbf in Kittilos Ccimhj 6. IS3 fir8t valle ' on the Eastern slope of the Cascade mountains. • The hills on the North and West are covered with fine timber, a very small proportion of which has yet been cut. The tree-covered hills furnish excellent summer pasture for great flocks of sheep and cattle, while the hills to the South and East furnish spring and fall pasture. Winter pasture is furnished on the Eastern slow of the same hills fronting the Columbia river. Each year the developed farms creep farther up the hills. Irrigated Lands Land now farmed in the valley, with the exception of dry farms on the hills, receive irrigation water from existing canals, either from the Yaki¬ ma river or from the various creeks which flow out of the surrounding foothills. There are three major irri¬ gating canals taking water from the Yakima river — the Cascade, the Town Ditch and the West Side Canal—in ad¬ dition to several smaller ca¬ nals taking water from vari¬ ous canyon streams and dis¬ tributing it to a few hundred acres each. High Line Cana) The Kittitas Reclamation District is a district compris¬ ing 91,000 acres of land, on which bonds have been voted to build the canal. A contract has been made with the gov¬ ernment to use storage water from the big storage reser¬ voirs at Lakes Kachess and Keechelus. This summer engineers are com- pleting the working plans for the construction of the huge canal Test pits have been dug along the entire line to determine the character of construction throughout its length. The land has all been classified. In the fall of 1923 Secretary Work of the Department of Interior appointed a board of three engineers to chose the next reclamation unit to be constructed in the greater Yakima project. This board unanimously leported in favor of the Kittitas High Line. Later Secretary Work ap- Q, pointed a fact finding commission to delve into the entire reclamation pro¬ gram of the government. This report submitted in April made several important recommendations, including a unanimous recommendation that four units in the entire United States be constructed during the present year. One of these units so recommended was the Kittitas High Line. The Kittitas High Line is the greatest development that can come to the Kittitas valley and the Ellensburg district. Its construction would more than double the irrigated land surrounding Ellensburg. It will give employment to hun¬ dreds of men during the con¬ struction period. It will make farm homes for hundreds of new families. It will cause an enormous development in the city of Ellensburg. The total cost of the project including the storage reservoir ( already completed ) will be over $8,000,000. It is one of the greatest development en¬ terprises in the Northwest in many years and the biggest reclamation unit to be con¬ structed at one time in the entire state. Part of the land to come un¬ der the canal now has partial water rights from various creeks and some of it is in an excellent state of cultivation. The water now used on these lands from the creeks will be available for land, above the High Line and which at pres¬ ent has no water. As is well shown by the nu¬ merous farming pictures, this is one of the most diversified farming sections in the state. The largest crop is probably hay, totalling between 70,000 and 80,000 tons annually. Timothy largely predominates, with mixed and alfalfa next. The marketing of hay has proven so profitable at so small an expendi¬ ture of labor, that too large a proportion of the hay grown, from an eco¬ nomic standpoint, has been shipped out, instead of being fed to the land through beef and dairy stock. For instance the 70,000 to 80,000 tons of hay shipped out would winter from 25.000 to 45,000 head of beef or dairy cattle. The three local creameries now use the milk of less than 4.000 cows, and have built up a reputation more than state wide for excellent butter. It is development along this line in which the Chamber of Com- merce is particularly interested. Diversified farming has resulted in the production of virtually every crop common to temperate latitudes. Every edible plant in this vigorous climate is marked by a live texture and fine flavor. Corn is being grown more each year, particularly for silage. Wheat and other grains, potatoes and fruits are likewise important crops. Agricultural Resources Kittitas Valley land will yield from 20 to 50 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 100 bushels of oats, and other crops proportionately. Higher yields are of record, but it is common experience of farm- el ' s, in which the average in¬ quirer is presumed to be in¬ terested. Hard wheat is grown without irrigation and soft wheat below the ditches. Timothy hay is produced at 2 to 2 j tons per acre, and alfalfa at four to six tons, when properly cultivated. Two crops of alfalfa are cut and a third pastured. The soil is from two to 20 feet deep, its chief elements being volcanic ash and decom¬ posed basalt. Drainage is natural, a remarkably even average slope of two per cent. Markets Are Close The Kittitas Valley from a marketing standpoint, as well as from many others, is the -- best situated in the Northwest. It is the first irrigated land across the Cascade from the great ports of Seattle and Tacoma. These great cities uith their combined population of a half million, make a market for farm products that is almost unexcelled. The freight rate from Kittitas Valley points to these markets is lower than from any other valley. From the great Sound ports go ships to every port in the world. The Seattle market alone assures the future prosperity of Kittitas Valley farmers. The Ellensburg Rodeo Ellensburg and Kittitas Valley people, in conjunction with the County Commissioners and the County Fair Board are stalling each September the greatest wild west show ever given in the state, known as the Ellens¬ burg Rodeo. The Rodeo is given as the big amusement feature at the County hair grounds. Hundreds of cowboys, buccaroos, cowgirls, Indian bucks and squaws take part in producing this big drama of tbe old eat. The Rodeo field embraces a third mile track, surrounded on two sides by grandstands and bleachers. Three genuine old thoroughbraee stage coaches are owned by the association and used in the parades and feat ores, while two of them are used in the stage coach race, one of the most thrilling events of the three- day program. Each afternoon ' s program lasts from three to four hours and there is never one dull moment, or a second when interest lags- The actors are men and women brought up on the ranges of the West. There is no set effect, no one knows in advance the ending of any contest or race. The participants are fighting to win the big purses and the honors. The world’s championship bucking contest is something that men will cross the continent to see. Here the best riders are all entered. Here are the outlaw horses of the range. It’s action from start to finish, hrom the moment the rider mounts the blindfolded horse until the final gun is fired for the experts to help the contestants ffet clear of the maddened horses, the big crowds in grandstand and bleachers and on the surrounding hill are on their feet yelling and applauding th e daring riderH. Then there is a wild milking contest that furnishes laughs as well as thrills. Even the races are unusual and spectacular. The cowboy pony express, the cowboy relays, the thoroughbred relays, the cowboy races, the Indian buck and the Indian squaw races, not to mention the stage coach race all furnish more thrills than a whole week ' s races on the big tracks of the nation. The Rodeo is the type of event that makes the people live over again the life of the early west. Hundreds of men in the grandstands and bleach¬ ers all wear the full regalia of the buccarroo, including brilliantK colored shirts, riding breeches or chaps, and wide sombreros. The coloring in the grandstands and bleachers is as brilliant as the colors of the far East. Across the track and as a background is the Indian village with its tepees, its squaws in bright colored shawls and its papooses. The whole community and county is enthusiastically backing the Rodeo and will make it the big outdoor spectacle °t the slate, each year. There is no profit from it to any man or corporation. The grounds and property belong to the county. Business ti ' en, ranchers and stockmen signed notes to guarantee the expenses. Any profits after the big purses are paid goes to further improving the grounds- The enormous attend¬ ance proves the popular love of such a spectacle. During the first year s performance the crowds taxed the capacity and hundreds ot new seats • — ..MM } were hastily erected for the final day. The next year the capacity was doubled and as the fame spreads it is certain that new stands and bleachers will have to be erected each year. Already the seating capacity is suffi¬ cient to furnish a seat for every man, woman and child in Ellensburg if they would all crowd into the grounds at one time. Community Workers 1 ' nited in Every Civic Enterprise In the early months of 1923 a committee from the Chamber of Com¬ merce, the Kittitas County Farm Bureau, the State Normal school, the city schools and the Park and Playground advocates worked out a plan to unite all the various organizations in obtaining grounds for a great community center, to include buildings for a county fair, an athletic field for the schools and a community park and playground. Funds were raised and over 20 acres lying in the outskirts of the city and in the curve of Craig hill were obtained. Then everyone was invited to take part in a great community Field day. On the morning of Field day 550 men from the stores and offices of the city and from farms in every part of the valley reported for work. With them they brought 220 head of horses and four big tractors. The entire work had been carefully planned and every detail scheduled. Every man knew ' to whom to report and wont to work. The program call¬ ed for constructed a high board fence around two sides of the grounds, the laying of two lines of water pipe, the changing of the channel of Wilson creek for over a quarter of a mile; the grading of the new athletic field and race track, the building of a new road several hundred feet in length down the precipitous side of Craig hill, the construction of rustic bridges, the pruning of trees and clearing of underbrush and in fact changing the 20 acres from an undeveloped track into a fair grounds and a park, with a large athletic field. At noon a committee of 60 women had prepared a big lunch under some trees, but work did not stop long and soon the men were back at work. By night fall they had accomplished wonders, but still not satisfied they volunteered to do more and the next day nearly 200 men and half as many horses were again on the job. But even then the volunteer w ' ork did not cease. Night after night business and professional men came down to the grounds in the evening and helped to rake and prepare them for seed¬ ing and helped in building corrals and other fences. Farmers came in with teams time and time again to donate some more w ' ork. As a result of this fine spirit, and the donations of money and ma¬ terial. grounds and buildings were obtained, whose total value is in excess of $30,000 with a total outlay to the county, which holds the title to the tract of only $10,000. It is this spirit of community co-operation that has made this possible. The Normal and High school student associations have the use of the athletic fields, grandstands and bleachers for all athletic contests. They have their own dressing and show ' er rooms under the grandstand. Other improvements to make the grounds even more attractive and beneficial for athletic contests and for recreation are planned. Quarter Century of Biology at the Washington State Normal School 1899-1924 Near the close of the last century, more specifically, on the fourth of June, in the year A. D. eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, the writer of this note received, in the East, a telegram bearing this laconic message: “You are elected; wire acceptance; future promising.” Signed, W. E. Wilson, Ellensburg, Washington. With no previ¬ ous correspondence as a guide, it was necessary to find out: first, who is this man sending such a message; second, what and where is Ellensburg. A graduate of Beloit College, who had been engaged as u mining engineer at Lewiston, Idaho, had aban¬ doned, in disgust, a rockpile at that place, on which he had spent a fortune, having become a salesman disposing of his stock, was able to furnish the following infor¬ mation: Ellensburg is an a valley called Yakima — real desert of sage brush, bunch grass, homed toads and jack rabbits. People tie huge rocks to the fence posts to keep them from blowing out of the ground, in gales at 60 miles an hour; water must be sprinkled on the lund to keep it from blowing away. As for the Normal school, he reported that, like so many other wildcat institutions out West, they had recently had a Mexican revolution there, with “much noise and little Wool;” much ado, but no bloodshed. There was a similar institution at Lewiston he said. And there, too, they had a housecleaning with fumigation, because- the autocratic principal—an alien carpet bagger, too ignorant to know his own business—was trying to run the whole town.” To a young naturalist, anxious to see the country, and the wild western life of Siwash Indians, rattlesnakes, sage brush and cactus, In desert close to snow capped mountains by the surging sea, this account from so high an authority was too ex¬ citing to be resisted. The truth of the reported gale seemed partly confirmed when, in the brief space of two weeks he received a new catalogue announcing him as the head of a new department of biology at the Washington State Normal School at Ellensburg, Washington. With the exception of a yellow fence around the campus, the first impressions of the school were decidedly favorable. The moderately large student body, many mature in years, and often with teaching experience, eager to learn, well behaved and capable, met every morning In the assembly room, the faculty fucing them ou the rostrum. Some of the best classical music was rendered by the students; the Lord’s prayer; a brief address by a member of the faculty on any topic — often humor¬ ous—announcements, ending with a march. The Principal — who had recently arrived from Providence. R. I., where he had held a similar position — occupied the first room to the left of the maiu entrance to the main and only building on the campus. In the principal ' s office, weekly faculty meetings were held. The one principal ' s secretary was also the school librarian. The teacher of mathematics kept the books and managed the commercial end of it. The entire administration part of the institution was quite invisible, as it should be; and there was nothing about it suggesting a factory, or a moving picture show. The principal had his regular classes. One man, now a respected farmer in the valley, was sole fireman, superintendent of grounds, janitor and watchman. On September 6, 1899, classes in the biological department were organised as follows: Botany, first year students 39 daily; Nature Study, third year 25 daily; Junior Biology, M. W. F. double periods 21; Senior Biology, hygiene and sanitation — Tu.Th, double period 21. Botany and zoology were required of all students who had not had those sciences in the high school. All student receiving the regular advanced diploma had com¬ pleted satisfactorily two full years of biology—in the junior year; general biology, „.Q 19- cell biology, advanced physiology; In the senior year: neurology, physiology of the central nervous system and sense organs, eugenics, sanitation and hygiene. This work was required even of those students who had taken courses in biological sub¬ jects in the high schools of Spokane, Tacoma or Seattle. In 1906, third year nature study wa combined with agriculture and a school garden. The latter was discon¬ tinued in 1913. The ground on which the new women ' s building of Kamola hall now stands was last used for garden purposes. The long vacations and resulting neglect did not contribute to the success of the school garden. It was often pathetic to see the girls in low white shoes trying to irrigate their gardens. For many years a course in nature study for seniors was given, intended to show how knowledge is actually acquired by laboratory methods. In the field, each senior was required to make a study of the bird of his choice; to write out his observations and present it as a thesis to the class, near the end of the course. The editor of the Northwest Journal of Education, after publishing the method especially prepared for publica¬ tion sent a req uest for student papers on nature study, which were promptly pub¬ lished. Four volumes of these student papers were bound by the state department of education to be exhibited at the Pan American Exposition at Seattle and Port¬ land. A volume on nature study was published in 1903 as VoL XXI. of Kelloggs Teachers’ Library, since taken over by the A. S. Barnes Co. It has now arrived at the age of discretion, being just 21 years of age. Other work, not so Intimately connected with teaching, but of greater influence in making the department known outside the borders of the state, and even abroad, may not be described in this brief review. Courses were modified from time to time; and new courses were also added; most recently, lecture courses daily on such topics as genetics, heredity and evolution, including a course on human evolution—the en¬ tire history of man from the biological point of view. From t he beginning, it was the aim to arrange the course consecutively, so that what the student had already accomplished would be available for mastery of the progressively more complex and difficult aspect of the subject. General biology has been taught us an introduction to the more special subjects offered in separate courses; namely, botany, zoology, anatomy, histology, cytology, embryology, ecology, taxonomy, neurology animal psychology, bacteriology, hygiene and sanitation, with genetics, heredity and evolution as a summary of all the courses. Most of these courses were five credit courses, being a full daily Btudv for one quarter of nine, later 12 weeks. It has been the aim to make the student acquainted with the most recent advances in these sciences; and thus to keep the work on a level with the best courses in the universities of the country. It ha been announces) in the catalogue, i. e. the earlier period, that one of the functions of the normal school is to keep un¬ worthy and poorlv prepared people out of the teaching profession. The work in the biological department has been guided by the consciousness that the students were not to he specialists; but that, on the other hand, they were entitled to be treated as high school graduates, not as children reading a text book as If it were the last and only word on Lhe subject. Usually no definite text book has been assigned. This, perhaps has been somewhat confusing at first, but it has seemed best in the end to get the candidate for the position of teacher away from the exclusive reliance on text books. After becoming familiar with the use of laboratory tools, and all the best texts, he should be able to make his own text book. If a student, alter looking over the list of courses, wanted to know whether he would have “to take this or that, he was told that he did not have to take anything. It is possibly true that some cases of immunity occurred, where no perceptible difference could be seen between the ‘ be¬ fore and after taking.” But this might be attributed to several causes; ther might have hren antibody in the blood; a long incubation period, preventing an early breaking out;” or lastly, the subject had not been presented in a way suitable for educational veneer. Very few students have carried their grades of g. u. on their sleeves in big red letters. It wuold be aulte unjuBt not to mention the taci that many students have been found as capable and as well prepared to undertake the work as students entering universities; and they have accomplished the work quite as satisfactorily.

Considerable money contribution has L, made, however, by the Boston Society of Natural History? and by Z EBzabeth Thompson Science Foundation, for the promotion of research. As another negative meM h m “ y ment, °n d the interesting fact Lhat the publications of the depart- ment have never appeared beside the great big potato in the show windows ex¬ hibiting local product Local newspapers have never praised the department as a local asset, because of the amount of goods (culinary or terpsichorean) purchased and consumed in the interest of brUk trade and prosperous times. Then too Inother negative result may be noted; namely, that after the introduction of the free elective system the crowds have not been anything like those seen in department stores when cheap sales are announced, and bargains advertised, a la Bamum, with large posters hZm try Z ‘V . B aua of niore legitimate duties, the department has never become uffiliated with the perambulating propaganda club. In a more serious vein, it may be asked what are the negative or positive results of the courses of lectures on evolution? In some quarter, it is supposed to have ‘ttonlTFto ,f H . Pa9itiv « impressions are: that if the propaganda and insinua¬ tions of the indoctrinating advocate of fads and personal idiosyncrasies be excluded the scientific presentation of the facts of evolution promote, intelliegnce; and that an impartianexposition of the theories, aiming to explain it. clarifies the student ' s mind. It bke an intellectual swimming pool. Without taboo or dogma, it leaves him free to balance himself; and to learn to feet bis own responsibility f„ r hi , own opinions. Students, after taking the course, have shown no disposition to be doe math, or to pose as authorities. This is not true of all kinds of school work At Columbia, for instance, people hove been known to become authorities after a few weeks of ostensible study of folk dancing, jazz, or what not. A few vears aim the legislature decided to have the status of the Normal school of the state fixed bv a committee of three experts from the Fast. One member of that committee proved ? m C f, n thB Harvard I ® 1 crew. The schools are slowly recovering from the deadly effects of that amphibian crew of juvenile sport “expert ” in education. Q. In the strenuous work of teaching nearly the entire student body for 25 years without interruption, subject covering � o broad a field as all the biological sciences at times ranging from sociology on the one hand to Faust and Mephistopholes on the other, it ha been a distinct advantage to know that the students had a definite aim in view, and a noble purpose to get the best preparation for their work as teacher . It has been a pleasing task to rear the tender thought in plastic minds, while feel¬ ing their kindly spirit. To one born at the base of an extinct volcano, close to the crystal sea, in full view of perpetual snow, but raised on the level plains of Chicago in Northern Illinois, it has been a source of inspiration to be able, between periods, to look up from the microscope, out through the study window, upon this green valley, with its rural scenes of sheltered homes, ripening wheat fields, sleek cattle, mid countless stacks of new mown hay. Look how the brown hill fence it in, with pineclad mountain sides and rugged peaks, rock-ribhed and ancient as the sun! How refreshing also to breathe the clear, cool mountain air of an early msrning; to linger by the roadside, where buttercups and violets bloom, and the western meadow larks pour out their ecstatic madrigals; to tarry by the pool, where the rushes grow, and the redwing prates of his somber mate and her housekeeping; where the pensive frog pursues, with eager eye, the thoughtless dragon fly; and hyla, floating on his an¬ tique bagpipe, cries his wares of spirogyra! Here, too, the choke cherry grows; and on the thorn apple tree the leafy clematis climbs. Here the blue bird makes his formal calls. In yonder balm of Gilead the oriole ' s nest is hung; and from its top the moping owl surveys the landscape o’er. Hark, from yon stony dell the plaintive notes of the feigning killdeer, and from the river so far, so far but yet so near, the luring call of the maurning dove —to who — to you — to wit — to woo! The mountain brook shall lead the winding way, through meadows and pastures where lambs play mid blue flag and pussy willows; where the cricket chirps, and the reckless grass¬ hopper jumps into the stream, where fishes claim their toll. Onward the limpid waters flow between large stones and grassy banks, onward surety and merrily on¬ ward, homeward to the deep blue sea! Here by the swift, cool river, shaded from the hot midday sun by pines, alders, cottonwood and many shrubs, one hears the chiding magpie throughout the livelong day. But the squirrel invites to his mossy log. Oh welcome, doxing humble bee, and drowsy shade of sleepy hollow!— But what are these unbidden memories of those long since departed; and of those who but yesterday lived and labored, and now sleep the long, long sleep in yonder church yard! Why this Sehnsucht and this Wanderlust, this yearning and this longing to know what is to be seen over the lofty mountains? Why this Helmweh after that unexplored country from whose bourne no traveler re¬ turns? Enough! the rosy clouds of parting day promise a bright tomorrow. Thanks, good old fir and fragrant cedar, for this rest beneath your branches! And cheery chipmunk, too, and gentle stream, for this quiet hour of recollection, revery and dream. A popular writer of some note in the East published, some years ago, an account of a brief sojourn here, in which he referred to Ellcnsburg us the Pearl of the Cas¬ cades. Surely It could be made an ideal place for an ideal institution of learning. i. P. MUNSON. February 21, 1924 Calendar October 1 st, Registration — 436 in all, and 70 MEN. 12th. First W. A. A. hike.
