The building is beautifully designed in the Romanesque style of architecture to har- monize with the main building. It was constructed by the best of work- men during the year 1927-1928 and was open for use on June 5, 1928. Dr. James I. Wyer, Director of New York State Library, formerly Director of New York State Library School, dedicated the building on that day. To Bellingham Normal School, this day was one of its milestones, mark- ing the realization of a great dream of her students and faculty. A spacious reading room covers almost the entire second floor, seat- ing some 300 students. Here twenty thousand volumes are on open shelves, accessible to students at all times. The coverings on the books have been selected in such a way that, on entering the room, one does not seem to see the books but perceives a room hung with ancient tapestries, blending beautifully with the walls and ceiling. Although Wilson Seventeen LIBRARY AT NIGHT it is mainly a reference and professional library for teachers, a compre- hensive collection of books on subjects related to a liberal education are found on the shelves here. On the second floor, too, is situated the delivery hall and the charg- ing desk serving the reading room and the closed stacks where choice volumes and bound magazines are kept. The catalogue is located in the left alcove of this hall. Nearby are a work room and the offices of the head librarian, the cataloguer and the reference librarian. Students may drop into these offices any time and the librarians are always ready to help them solve their problems. In the reserve book and periodical room on the first floor, books are found that the instructors require to be read. Current magazines and newspapers are accessible, in this room, at all times. The size of this room in comparison with the large reading room is indicative of the ex- tent to which independent work is being done by the students. The children ' s reading room across from the periodical room pro- vides a pleasing contrast with the large reading room on the second floor. Here the furniture is designed and arranged to meet the needs of three sizes of children, varying from the smallest tots of the primary to the upper grade children. Shelves and wall spaces are so arranged that interesting and valuable accessory material and displays can be brought before the eyes of the children. Some three thousand books are found on the shelves in the children ' s room. Courses in children ' s literature are given in every curriculum and it is here that the students find the books and contacts that make these courses worth while. The prominent location of the children ' s reading room symbolizes what the school pri- marily stands for, the preparation of teachers of children. Eighteen Nineteen Twenty Banner, Edith R. Ass ' t.

Dean of Women Twenty-one Marquis Hammitt Rosene Sophomore Class The Class of 1929 has reached the end of its two year Normal career. In its Freshman year the class, under the leadership of a capable group of officers and committees, won a laudable recognition. Every class function was a marked success. This year the officers have been the same for the three quarters, with one exception. They are: Charles Erickson .... Alice Scndquist . . . . . Jean Marquis . . Keli.ie Hammitt (replacing Jean Marquis) President Vice-President Secretary Secretary The class has been well directed, with Miss Hilda Rosene as class adviser. The two outstanding class functions of the year were the fall quar- ter dance, featuring the Jingle Bell Idea, and the spring quarter dance, with a Sea-Going motif. The dances were held December and April respectively. Now, as the class looks forward to new fields of endeavor, it looks back with fond memories upon two years of co-operation and accom- plishment.

The first function for which the Freshmen were responsible was the bonfire for the Pep Rally, which was the beginning of the Home Coming Celebration. Tradition has it that it shall be the duty and privilege of representatives of the Frosh class to build and keep intact from outside invasions, the Home Coming Bonfire. This class did well to keep up this old tradition and the right spirit was shown when called upon to help. Each quarter a party was given to which all Freshmen, and Sopho- more men were invited. For each party there was a general chairman, under whom was a committee that worked with the aid of the Executive Committee. In all the activities the responsibility was divided among those who were believed capable to carry out the work.

There was a change of management at the end of the winter quarter when Barney Chichester succeeded Harry Appleton as business manager, Dolly Anderson then taking Barney ' s place as editor. This year a much sought-for honor was accorded the Viking, when it received recognition in a nation-wide contest for school papers. The editors may be justly proud of their work, and the school proud of both. Sixty i ■• i Red Arrow The Red Arrow is a literary magazine published quarterly by the Scribes ' Club and outside contributors. It gives the students an oppor- tunity for criticism of one another ' s work, and, for those who write, the chance for expression of those fleeting thoughts that may only be caught, now and then, and are so seldom found on paper. This year the Whoopee number, published in the winter quarter, was very popular with the students. The material in the magazine is of several types — prose and poetry, serious and humorous, of varying ex- cellence, but of interest to all fellow-students. Fall Quarter Jane L ' Eveque • ■ Editor Dorothy Strong, Makion Snyder .... Managers Winter Quarter Lloyd Beckes, Kristine Tiiordarson .

Sixty-iix Self-Starter The Self-Starter is a booklet published by the Standards Commit- tee of the Women ' s League, and distributed to the entering women each fall. It is to the women what the Blue Book is to the entire school. It tells them about the League, it gives suggestive wardrobes and ex- pense accounts, it explains the house rules, and it lists the social activi- ties. So, by telling the girls about the League and its work, it helps them to become accustomed to Normal life. Directory The Student and Faculty Directory, with its refill, is an effort to keep the students identified as nearly as possible, with their respective addresses and telephone numbers, which is sometimes a rather difficult task, as some students seem to change their residences every quarter. The Directory lists the faculty, the women, and the men of the school separately, thus giving greater facility in looking up the person desired. Blue Book The Blue Book is a necessary part of our school equipment, in- deed, many of us would be literally lost without it. It is published during the fall quarter, and contains information on practically every subject that could come under the head of a normal school, from the Faculty through the Student ' s Association, down to songs and yells. It contains information that every student should read and know, for it is of value during the entire year, and to everyone. The foreword says, Consult this volume first, ask questions afterward, for, if you read intelligently, you may answer most of your questions for yourself. Sixty-seven • ' THE MERCHANT OF VENICE Drama A most successful dramatic season at the Bellingham State Normal School was presented by Victor H. Hoppe, chairman of the department of speech. Four outstanding productions, illustrating a great variety of situations, were presented during the year by the Normal Drama Club, under Mr. Hoppe ' s direction. __ A greater interest in dramatics than has ever before been shown was indicated this year by the increased activity of the Drama Club and by the many students who turned out for the quarterly drama productions. All of this year ' s dramatic achievements are examples of outstanding plays, enviably acted and excellently staged and directed. The Merchant of Venice The Merchant of Venice was given in the summer quarter on Au- gust 8 and 9. The leading role of Shylock was an unforgetable por- trayal as interpreted by Mr. Hoppe. Carrie Ann Tucker as Portia, the heiress, played her role exceptional- ly well. The setting was a stylized suggestion of the Elizabethan stage and costumed in the stage style of Shakespeare ' s Globe Theatre. S ' .xiy-t ighi SUN UP ' Sun Up The 1928-29 dramatic season at the Bellingham Normal was opened with the presentation of Sun Up, by Lula Vollmer, in December. The action occurs in the interior of Widow Cagle ' s rude and isolated cabin in the North Carolina Mountains. To these mountaineers the only known justice is found in A life for a life, the law of the feud. Circum- stances under which Widow Cagle receives news of her son ' s death over- seas bring a new outlook to these mountain folk. Sun Up is a serious drama, which displays an unusual characterization of life in North Caro- lina mountains. Seven Keys to Baldpate The winter quarter presentation of the Drama Club was Seven Keys to Baldpate, a melodramatic farce, by George M. Cohan. The winter solitude of lonely Baldpate Inn was weirdly interrupted many times, as one by one the possessors of the seven keys disclosed themselves. Frank- lin Lock, Joy Efteland, and Florence Kern in the leading roles were sup- ported by a clever cast. Mr. Hoppe ' s direction of the melodrama was highly appreciated by the many who attended the productions. Sixty- ii •SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE Outside Drama This season the Normal School has presented five dramas by three excellent outside companies of players. The Moroni Olsen Players presented Expressing Willie, a comedy by Rachel Crothers; What Every Woman Knows, by James M. Barrie, and Autumn Fire, an Irish folk tragedy by T. C. Murray. Moroni Olsen was seen at his best in the role of Owen Keegan in Autumn Fire. The Ongawa Japanese Players presented an unusual and varied pro- gram from a repertoire of Japanese folk lore. The program included songs and dances of old Japan as well as a quaint playlet. The Charles Rann Kennedy Players produced the drama, Old Nobody, by Charles Rann Kennedy. Old Nobody is a play for male- factors. The setting and action made it a very unusual type of drama. g  ni ii Left to right: Wanamaker, Invin, Saese ICEBOUND C (ST Berg, Philippi, Swalling, Morse Edm Rich, Kern, Chichester Icebound The last offering of the dramatic season was Icebound, by Owen Davis. In an isolated New England farmhouse both the selfish and kind motives within the Jordan family are developed. A strange and surpris- ing turn of events leads Jane Crashy to pull Ben, the son, out of his for- mer self and force the rest of the family to release their selfish thoughts. Florence Kern as Jane Crashy, and Barney Chichester in the role of Ben Jordan, made the play an unusually fine piece of drama. •s ' r V( l:l ii fin NORMAL WOMEN ' S CHORUS Visiting Musical Artists Presenting varied programs of the finest types of musical art, the Bellingham State Normal School annually brings many famous artists to its students. Katheryn Meisle, contralto, presented the first concert of the year. s one of the most outstanding contraltos of the present day, Miss Meisle enchantingly held the admiration of her audience throughout her entire program. The mastery of interpretations and her colorful tones were completely perfected. The ability of Miss Meisle as a singer and the quality of her beautiful program set a sta ndard that will be difficult for any contralto to surpass. s the second concert artist of the season, Louis Graveure appeared on his first concert tour singing from a new repertoire in the tenor range. Renowned as a recital baritone, he abandoned his position last year and immediately became a leading tenor. With a well rounded voice of con- centration and quality Mr. Graveure gave a concert which will be long remembered by the school. Outstanding among the concerts of this season was the delighttui recital of Guv Maier and Lee Pattison, pianists. Words cannot truly ex- press the quality of their playing. The two pianos played not as if they were separate but rather as one immortal instrument. Possessing every noble quality of artist and actor, Mr. Maier and Mr. Pattison held their .-.udience spellbound with their interpretations. Responding witn many encores the duo was accorded an ovation that is never to be forgotten. The London String Quartet, among the finest in existence, appeared on the next program. The four instruments perfectly portrayed each human voice and in the hands of their masters produced marvelous har- mony. The listener could not be but enthralled and charmed while hear- Seventy-two ing the beautiful Andante Cantabile movement from Tschaikowsky ' s Quartet in D. The entire program was one of exquisite art, and the praise which was accorded the quartet distinguishes it as the finest that has ever appeared before the school. Quite in contrast to the preceding presentation was the program of the Kedroff Quartet. Singing many Russian folk songs and selections by Russian composers, all in their native language, the Kedroffs gave a program of rare quality. Their interpretations were as realistic as could be possible for human voice to portray. Perfectly matched and blended tones came not from individuals but from a matchless ensemble. Florence Austral, soprano, who gave such a superb performance a year ago, returned as the last number of this year ' s Musical Artists Course. Mme. Austral has a dramatic soprano voice of exquisite power and quality. In the same manner that she put her soul into each selec- tion her personality extended throughout the audience. Mme. Austral was accompanied by John Amadio, flutist, who, with the piano, formed a rich background for the brilliant soprano voice. This program was most fitting as the closing number of the season. Lectures Many interesting lectures are given before the student body during the year. Although many subjects are presented, generally the ones of the greatest interest have been those from foreign lands. Joan London, daughter of the famous writer, while speaking on the subject, Thru the Looking Glass of Literature, offered a thorough explanation and criticism of our modern literature. Miss London ' s clear ins ight into the works by contemporary writers was greatly appreciated by the student body. The Orient contributed two of this season ' s speakers. From Japan came Dr. Roy H. Akagi, who explained in a most interesting manner the social advancement of his country during recent years. Dr. W. T. Locke, for many years a missionary in China, spoke not only of China and her national conditions but more of the greater subject of world brotherhood. Contessa Marie Loschi, during her brief tour of the United States, gave a most interesting lecture to the students of the Normal School. The theme of her address was the rapid change and improvement of the Italian people since the World War. Two men came to the school as representatives of the great conti- nent to the south of us. Edward Tomlinson revealed many of the great future possibilities of South America. Harold O. Fish brought to the student body a lecture, Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory, which was accompanied by many beautiful picture slides. Among the most enthusiastic of speakers was John Langdon-Davies, from England, who spoke on The New Age of Faith. Many interesting student questions followed the lecture and Mr. Davies answered each in a most brilliant manner. Seventy-thrt • WOMEN ' S TEAM Masse} Hendricks II. Fitzwatoi Debate Early in the fall quarter a schoolwide interest in debate was reawak- ened by the intramural debate series. All of the leading clubs and a num- ber of independent groups organized debate teams to represent them m the elimination tournament. Thru the partial replacement of the customary style of debate by the no-decision and cross-examination type, the participants must be unusually familiar with the subject in order to refute direct questions The cross-examination method of refutation has gained the increased approval an dpopularity of the student body as, by this method only, the true cleverness and wit of the debaters are shown. The men of the school participated in five debates, winning three, while the other two were no-decision contests. The women debated three times and lost but one decision. i ram Seventy-four MEN ' S TEAM Summers Bell S. Craft Cup Winner, Joy Efteland, and Stanley Craft, Runner-Up Extemporaneous Speaking The extemporaneous contest, in the third year of its existence, has continued to gain an increasingly stronger place among school activities. With but a short time to prepare, the contestants are allowed to speak for five minutes before the student assembly upon any of many topics of current interest. Each quarter two contestants are chosen to compete in the finals which are held near the middle of the spring quarter. The increased popularity of the extemporaneous contest is indicated by the large numbers of students who have turned out each quarter for the activity. The greatest number of students entered the contest in the fall quar- ter, making the competition keen. Edith Dyer and Stanley Craft were chosen as the two successful aspirants. A great spirit of enthusiasm which was also shown in the winter quarter resulting in the selection of Arthur Cram and Ray Craft by the judges for later competition. In the spring quarter preliminaries Joy Efteland and Maurine Lind were chosen to compete in the finals. In the final contest, held on the twenty-sixth of April, all of the aspirants gave excellent speeches on subjects of uni- versal interest. Joy Efteland was selected as the guardian of the beauti- ful extempore loving cup, while Stanley Craft was adjudged the winner of second plac e. The extemporaneous contest has served to secure a new spirit in the school towards public speaking which has resulted in a valuable type of educational development for many students.

The new material also showed to good advantage, and prospects were bright for the 1928 season. Though the Vikings won only one of the six games played, they came through the season heroic- ally and the Normal is proud of the way in which the fellows took their defeats and won their lone victory. Following are the schedule and scores of the season ' s games. OPPONENTS V. S. A. C. . Ellensburg Cheney . St. Martins . U. of W. Supers U. of W. Frosh 12 12 6 6 13 49 AT Bellingham Ellensburg Bellingham Bellingham Seattle Bellingham DATE Oct. 13 Oct. 19 Oct. 2: Nov. 3 Nov. 10 Nov. 17 VIKINGS Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings Vikings 6 7 13 Erickson Anderson Ont Hundred Fifteen Eastwood Cox Stickney Ellensburg Game In the first Tri-Normal tilt of the season, the Viking grid mach- ine was defeated at Ellensburg on October 19. The weather, unlike that on the western side of the mountains, was hot and dry, with a chilling dry wind blowing across the field. All through the first three quar- ters of the game the Vikings played a defensive brand of ball, and it was not until in the latter part of the fourth quarter that there was any chance for the Bell- ingham team to cut loose with anything besides straight football. When they did it was too late to do more than threaten the Ellens- burg goal, but this was accom- plished, for had there been a few more seconds to play it is quite probable that Bellingham would have returned home with at least a score to her credit. They had lost all but their fighting spirit and their desire to win, and these two qualities they clung to until they at last relieved their pent up feelings on the unsuspecting St Martin ' s eleven. VIKING-RANGER MIX-UP One Hundred Sixteen Moe McLaughlin Cheney Game ' ' Home-Coming For one to invite a man into his home to help him celebrate the re- newal of old time friendships, is a very highly commendable thing to do. But for that man to leave one ' s home after the celebration, taking with him all the glory of the occasion, while his friends all stand around and wonder what is the matter with their host, is quite an other thing. Yet such was the case when the Cheney Savages were invited to participate in the annual home- coming event at Bellingham Nor- mal. The Savages, casting aside all consideration for their host, proceeded to beat him at his own game in his own home, and make him like it. The game was so close that at almost any minute the score might have been changed into a Viking victory instead of a defeat. The Savages had not forgotten the six to nothing defeat that the Vi- kings handed them the season be- fore at Cheney, and they were only getting even. FROSH TANGLE One Jt iiinlii il Si vi ni 1 1 n St. Martin ' s Game Of Viking victories we long to read, more than anything else. Here is the story of the only Vi- king victory in the 1928 football season. The Norsemen invited the St. Martin ' s College football team to play in the Viking backyard, again this season and they accepted the invitation. The rangers came all the way from Lacey to play a nice little game of football, and the Vi- kings didn ' t seem to care a bit. The Normalites tramped on the boys from Lacev so much that the vis- itors began to think that the home town boys did not play fair. The Vikings teased the visitors along for a whole quarter and a half before they made a score. Then in the closing minutes of the second period of play, Odell ran wild to make a 55 yard gain before he was forced out of bounds on St. Martin ' s four-yard line. Red Williams then took the ball for two plays and put it on the one- yard line, and Chuck Erickson put it across on a hard line smash, for the only score of the game. SAVAGE PILE Om Hundred Eighteen Dickey Super Varsity Game Sand is often one of the prime requisites of a football player, but the game at Seattle with the U. of W. Super Varsity eleven was the sandiest game this writer has witnessed. It was on a wind- bleached, rain-swept field of sand that the Normal Vikings went down to defeat to the tune of 6 to 0. The first few minutes of the game saw the loss of two star men, Erickson and Moe. But despite the loss of these two men. the Norsemen fought on and were glorious even in defeat. The Vi- king spirit was as undefeated as ever. Frosh Game On the seventeenth of Novem- ber, the U. of W. Frosh invaded the Viking home and walked off with the Norsemen ' s goat to the unpleasant score of 13 to 0. The locals were out-weighed and out- played in every department of the game. When the Norsemen had the ball, they could not penetrate the Frosh defense. Line smash and end run alike were turned back repeatedly for no gain. The Viking aerial attack was as a kite before a March wind. Only once did the Norsemen come within scoring distance of the goal and then the Frosh line was akin to the rock of Gibraltar. Reeves One Hundred Nineteen McClurken Varsity Basketball Resume Beginning the twelfth of Janu- ary, 1929, the Viking Varsity cag- ers opened one of the most suc- cessful hoop seasons that they have had for several years. The first game was with St. Martin ' s College, when the Norse- men trounced the Rangers with a 41 to 15 score. Then the Roths- child ' s team from Seattle visited the Normalites and nearly walked away with the contest. However, in the closing minutes of the game the Normal boys came to the front and took the mix from the visit- ors, 33 to 30. The game was one of the fastest ever seen on a Bel- lingham floor. The first of the Tri-Normal ser- ies came with Ellensburg at the home of the Wildcats. They tram- pled all over the Norsemen and won the fray by a large score. On the following night the Vi- kings invaded the town of Yakima and left a defeated quintet of Gen- erals. The Norsemen outpointed the Generals by ten counters, and went on their way across the state and tackled the Cheney Savages in the second Tri-Normal contest. This was another victory for the fast Viking cagers. From their victory over the Savages the Vikings went into Spokane and walked all over the quintet of the Spokane College. Thence the Norsemen, from a suc- cessful trip, returned to the home courts where they met a hard de- feat at the hands of the University of Washington Freshmen. The week following the Frosh game was one of victory and de- feat for the Vikings. The Cheney Savages visited in the early part of the week and were sent home a beaten bunch. Later in the week, the Ellensburg Wildcats invaded Bellingham and marched triumph- antly away with the Viking goat. Then in Seattle the next week the Vikings lost another hard game to the Frosh. After this they traveled to Lacey and won from the St. Martin ' s quint. The next week they closed the seas on with a win over the Spokane College quintet. Thus closed a successful season.

In the final contest, the Supers trounced the Roland Wreckers, 47 to 38, and were in a position to claim the trophy for their own. The Supers were up against as hard a schedule as any team would want to face at any time, and all of their games were hard fought and close. Not only did the Supers have a tough schedule to buck, but they had to give up the best of their players to the Viking Varsity squad, when it started out in the collegiate race. Thus weakened, the Supers did honor to them- selves and to the school by coming out ahead in the race for the cup. In winning this year ' s cup, the Super quintet set a precedent for the teams of the future seasons to follow, that will tax the fortitude of many a hard working lad. The Supers had a hard path to cut in the wilderness of competi- tion and they did their job as only Supers could do it. One Hundred Twenty-two Front Row: Command, Cole, Weber, Leatha Second Row: Legoe, Rodland, Rod ' osovich, Erickson, Buy Junior Varsity Basketball The Normal Junior Varsity Bas- ketball Team finished its third successful season in the Class B League of the City of Bellingham. The Juniors started the season with a win over the Junior Me- chanics on November twentieth. The game was an easy victory for the Normalites, being won by a score of 65 to 17. The next game the Junior quint did not fare so well, for they dropped their con- test to the Independents by a nar- row margin. Followed a series of Jayvee wins that carried them through to a tie with the Y. M. C. A. quintet for the first half of the split sea- son. The Jayvee squad was a team of all forwards, and every man on the squad had to be a good shot. While the Junior team won most of its games by a large margin and big scores, it is singular to note that the players from the Normal were not listed in the ranks of the high score men of the season. The fact that all of the Jayvee players were good shots probably accounts for their staying right up in front most of the time. After coming out in a tie for the first half honors, the Jayvees went out and grabbed off all of the first honors in the second half of the season, and refused to share them with anybody else. One Hundred Twenty-thret Cox. Keplinger, Erickson, Thai, Fairbanks Varsity Tennis Bellingham vs. U. of W. Frosh at Seattle, May 1th Tri-Normal Meet— Bellingham, Ellensburg, Cheney, at Cheney May 25th FROSH MATCH On Saturday, May 4, Coach Carver took a four-man squad, consisting of Thai, Erickson, Keplinger, and Church, down to Seattle to meet the strong University of Washington freshman team. Four singles, and two doubles matches were played, with the fresh- men holding the edge over the Normalites. TRI-NORMAL MATCH May 25th, the Viking ' s three-man team will journey to Cheney, scene of the Tri-Normal meet, with high hopes of bringing back the Tri-Normal championship which they lost to Cheney last year. Two singles and one doubles match form the schedule. Although this year ' s squad, at the date of writing, does not appear as flashy as last year ' s team, it is believed that they will take a stronger combination to Cheney than the one which represented Bellingham at the Tri-Normal meet of 1928, which was held at Ellensburg.

Rain hindered the early season practice, just when the early work would be of the most benefit. Rain caused the Viking coaches to post- pone the first game of the season with St. Martin ' s College on April 13. On April 20, the game with the University of Washington Varsity had to be dropped because of the crying tendencies of Old Jupe Pluvius. During the following week, good weather prevailed until Saturday, April the twenty-seventh, when the weather again threatened to stop the game between the Norsemen and the Freshman team from the U. of W. Following the Frosh game, the Viking schedule was all shot to pieces due to the cancelling of two games with Centralia Junior College, and the games with Cheney Normal. With the Freshmen out of the way, St. Martin ' s was next on the list. After disposing of the Rangers, the Vikings journeyed to Ellensburg to tangle with the Wildcats. Then remained only the return games with the Frosh and St. Martin ' s diamond aggregations. itnr Hundred Twenty-fivt Front Row: Carboneau, Howell, Rajala, Bright, Axelson, Cole Second Row: Beckes, Brinkman, Obevlatz, Hemrm, Davis Third Row: Eagan, Chichester, Cox, Bey. Kaas, Enckson Track Four meets were scheduled for the Viking cinder artists during the season of 1929. The first of these meets was at Seattle on May 4, when Coach Carver sent a med- ley relay team to participate in the Washington Relay Carnival. The second meet came on Wed- nesday, May eighth, also at Se- attle, where the Viking team met the University of Washington Freshmen. Following the Freshman meet, the College of Puget Sound sent a team to Bellingham to attempt another defeat of the Vikings. The meet with C. P. S. was expected to be a hard and close one, with the visitors as the favorites. With the first three meets out of the way, the fourth came along on the twenty-fourth of May. This time the Norsemen traveled all the way across the state to Cheney, where they entered the Tri-Nor- mal meet. At the very first of the season, track prospects were good for a well-balanced squad. It looked as if there were plenty of weight men in school to go along with the runners. Later it developed that the weight men were falling far short of early expectations. Outstanding in their track and field work are: Erickson, who is getting his javelin out over 180 feet, and is doing a little over One Hundred Twenty-six Amett Axelson Bej Bright Brinkman nineteen feet in the broad-jump; Carboneau, who is doing the mile in about 4 ' 40 2; Bey, in the pole- vault is getting right up in the air; and the sprinters are led by vet- eran Earl Hemmi. Bright, who is last year ' s record holder of the mile event, is still in champion- ship form, and promises to make things for any competition. In the middle distances, Howell, Axelson, and Eagan are the lead- ing contenders, while Brinkman is going strong in the two-mile event. Looking ahead into the latter part of the season, it might be safe to say that Viking hopes for championship are brighter than they have been for several sea- sons. Carboneau Cox One Hundred Twenty-seven E. EVAl ' T Head of Sport A FAST DRIBBLE Hockey Armed with shin guards, hock- ey sticks and much determination, about thirty aspirants prepared to master the art of dribbling a hockey ball down the field, of passing successfully before being attacked, of backing up the for- ward line. The group was divided into two intramural teams, the Bumps and Smashers. In the three games which were played, the Bumps won the series with scores of 2-1, 1-4, 3-2. With everyone in good form from practice, the interclass ser- ies were initiated by a scoreless, hard fought battle on a frozen field. The second game ended with a 5-1 victory over the Sophomores. This game gave the champion- ship to the freshmen for the final game was again a tie.

AY Volleyball Don ' t let it land — the old cry of the volleyball player as she knocks the ball back and forth across the net with speed and ac- curacy, issued from the gym with unusual emphasis this season. The intramural series was played off between the Servites, Stretchers, Parameciums, and Net Nymphs. Although the competi- tion was fired and keen, the Net Nymphs won the series undefeated. In the interclass games, a series of six games was played. The Sophomores won all the honors of the volleyball court, taking every interclass game on the season ' s schedule.

Hard fought games, most of them ending scoreless, or in a tie, were evidences of the whole-hearted competition in the games. The entire turnout gained effective practice during the intra- mural series. The Freshmen, although ham- pered by the exceptional playing of Dot Sollie, sophomore, won the first interclass game by a 2-1 score. In the two remaining games of the series, the teams had to leave the battlefield because of darkness, with a 1-1, 0-0 tie, thus giving the championship to the Freshmen.

The great deal of enthusiasm with which the girls turn out for this sport verifies its popularity. The game is based on speed. The girls learned rapidly the tactics of getting the ball down the field in the least amount of time. Baseball Batter up! Thus were many exciting games started during the baseball season. Many of the or- ganized houses formed teams and a series of games were played off. This gave many more girls the op- portunity to play than is afforded by the regular turnout. The classes were tied for honors when the yearbook went to press. SOLLIE Head ol Spoi I I ' li UTIIT. (; MK One Hundred Thirty-fan Dancing at Fiirhaven Park Natural Dancing One of the most popular recrea- tional activities as well as a regu- lar Physical Education subject is Natural Dancing. The aims are to develop grace- ful movements and body poise through a natural, enjoyable means. Bach spring the girls exhibit the work they have done in Natur- al Dancing in a dance program. Miss Dozier has done much to help develop a keen appreciation of natural beauty in dancing. Hiking There ' s a long, long trail a-winding hilo the (anil of my dreams. . . Our hiker sings these lines and smiles contentedly, as memory brings back pictures ever filled with fascination. Once again, with happy comrades, she follows Miss George over the trail, (winding through mid- Autumn ' s warm, sun- lit forest, while leaves of russet, burnt-orange, and gold are rust- ling and dancing around her feet. In winter, the trail leads through fairy wonders untold, for Jack Frost has draped trees, bush- es, and ferns in fluffy, white lace, glittering and sparkling where the sunlight reaches. How quiet the woodland seems now! With spring, comes the thought of Mt. Constitution. When once on its summit, the hiker imagines the Sound, dotted with number- less islands, truly tilted on edge, all for her to behold. Wherever she be, on Mt. Baker ' s still snows, or by windswept Puget Sound with its waves dash- ing high, the hiker learns to know Nature. She scarcely needs think of the All-Star Hiking Team as an incentive when Saturday comes. She is heartily glad that these wonderful hikes are for ev- ery girl in school! One Hundred Thirty-six One Hundred Thirty-sevi n Class Affairs A Dance of the Nations was given by the Frosh, November 10th. Effective decorations of the flags of different nations were a feature of the party. During the intermission a program of representative folk dances further carried out the Na- tions idea. Cupid crowned Louise Griffin, Queen of Hearts of the Freshman Party February 15. Joyce Arnold and Rosalie Strong were the Maids of Honor, and Mildred Kent, Norma Freeman, Mary Clearwater and Ruth Irwin, her other attendants. Bobby Kessler was the charming Cupid. Queen Louise The Sophomore Jingle - Bells dance on Friday, December 14, was a decided success. The holiday spirit prevailed and the gym was decked with holly greens and Christmas trees. During the intermission Santa passed out gifts to the guests. The gymnasium was transformed into a floating palace with port holes, fog horns, a twelve mile limit and a bar, for the Sophomore Sea Going party on April 5. A deck was equipped with card tables for those who did not dance, and a gypsy for- tune teller entertained the curious. Soph Tars One Hundred Fatty-one Women ' s League Quarterly Informals H This year six informals were giv- en, two each quarter, one by the Women ' s League and one by the Dormitory girls. These dances were very cleverly planned and the effects were most attractive. The dances carried out distinctive ideas for the different seasons. Catherine Morse, Social Chairman of the Women ' s League, deserves much credit for these succesful functions. An Indian Summer Frolic, the fall informal of the Women ' s League, was given November 2nd in the Edens Hall dining room. Amidst relics and some of the symbols of American Indians, a hundred and twenty cou- ples enjoyed a most delightful even- ing. A cunning wigwarn in one cor- ner was the well concealed punch booth. The appropriate decorations were due to the efforts of Ouida Da- vidson and her committee. A modernistic dance with gor- geously colored octagonal lamp shades gave a weird and unusual glow to the Edens Hall dining-room when the Outside Girls had their In- formal. March 9th. Jay Curtis and his Melody Makers played behind a cream curtain and the red lights and vividly painted panels gave much modernistic atmosphere. The Dance of Dreams was the theme of the Women ' s League Infor- mal given May 3rd in the Edens Hall dining-room, which was transformed into a dream room with balloons, wisteria and billowy affairs — depic- tive of growing things. Lattice work and wisteria formed the punch booth from which girls in natural dancing costumes served refreshments. Ont Hundred Forty-two Edens Hall Quarterly Imformals Wintertime was the atmosphere in which the dorm girls enjoyed their first informal of the year, D e- cember Sth. Decorations of icicles, snow and evergreens were cleverly arranged by Virginia Schmitt and her committee. The Melody Makers furnished the music which lent much pleasure to the occasion. In a typically Irish setting with lights of a medieval castle shining from the background, the girls at Edens Hall gave a Blarney Dance, March 2nd in the Blue Room. Punch was served from a rustic well by two Irish girls in their green costumes. Irish dances were printed in the green pigs, the programs. This in- teresting and enjoyable Irish Wake was in charge of Virginia Schmitt, Edens Hall Social Chairman. A huge likeness of the Oriental Buddah looked down upon the Edens Hall Spring Informal. Garlands of wisteria and lighted Japanese lan- terns festooned the hall, transform- ing it into an Oriental summer gar- den. Colorful panels picturing man- darins and fire-expelling dragons gazed at the party from behind the wisteria. Jane L ' Eveque. social chairman of Edens Hall, was commended high- ly for the success of this informal. There were two informals last summer, one for the Edens Hall girls and one planned by the Women ' s League. The former featured a Jap- anese theme, and the latter trans- formed the hall into a summer day in Hawaii. 5 ,,:! -- Ont Hundred Forty-three Kid Party The Women ' s League annual Kid Party in honor of the incom- ing freshmen girls took place in the Big Gym, October 5th. Decorations of pink and blue were effective and the kid cos- tumes added much gayety to the scene. The evening ' s diversion was dancing; the music was furn- ished by a girls ' orchestra. Catherine Morse, Social Chair- man of the Women ' s League, was in charge of the affair. W.i A. A. Dance The W. A. A. Dance December 7th, under the direction of Rose Brooks was a clever affair at which part of the girls were dressed as boys. Prizes were awarded the three best imperson- ators. Dancing was the chief di- version of the evening and music was furnished by a girls ' orches- tra. A program of folk dances, a pianologue, natural dancing and piano solos were also enjoyed by the girls. During the Spring quar- ter the W. A. A. presented a novel all-girls ' carnival dance. Rec Hour The students gather together every Friday afternoon for an hour of Recreational Dancing in the Big Gym. The music is furn- ished by Jay Curtis and his Music Makers. Hundred Forty-four Fifth Annual Home-Coming The fifth annual Home-Coming was an enjoyable week-end of renew- ing old friendships and making new ones. The success of the affair was largely due to Joe Hermsen, the general chairman, who was assisted by Glen Goddard, bonfire chairman; Eleanore Brown, luncheon chairman, and Dorothy Sasse, dance chairman. The celebration started with a huge bonfire and Pep Rally, Friday night, October 26. Luncheon was served at Edens Hall and the Cafeteria, after which was the football struggle between Bellingham and Cheney. The grand climax was the dance at the armory Saturday evening, where Grads gathered together beneath banners for their own classes. The music was furnished by Ralph Hennes ' orchestra. Men ' s Club Dance The men of the school entertained in the Eden ' s Hall dining room on February 8th. Under the soft glow of shaded lights and greenery, one hundred couples danced to the music of the Washington Ramblers. Joe Hermsen, social chairman, was in charge of the enjoyable affair. Winter Tea The All-school Tea, sponsored by the Women ' s League, was given at Edens Hall, Thursday, January 3rd, from 4:00 to 5:30. An interesting musical program was presented by talented students of the school. Miss Leona Sundquist, Miss Kathleen Skally, Miss Hazel Plympton and Miss Ruth Piatt, faculty members, poured. The tea is the annual custom for the all-school mixers in the Winter quarter.
