KAMOLA HALL ASSOCIATION The Kamola hall association now has all of its necessary machinery for carrying on the work outlined i in its constitution.

This procedure gave the atmosphere which shows the sin­ cerity and strength our organiza­ tion needs. •".n. On account of the departure of Beulah Kelly, who was vice-presi­ dent of the association, it was ne- ! cessary to nominate and elect an- ! other. Reita Faulkner was the one elected to fill this capacity. Han­ nah Berg who was previously elected secretary and treasurer, found the work too heavy for one so it was deemed advisable to elect a treas­ urer. Marie Johnson was chosen for this position.

We j are all trying to do our bit by knit­ ting, by food conservation, in every •way we can. We know that our country, heeds our support in money too. Have we the right to waste money in unnecessary Xmas giving while the Belgians and Armenians need plain food and clothing? Money is needed to feed our allies and our own soldiers. Not one of us would ! deny to our soldiers any,. comfort we„ could give. Yet we do that indi­ rectly where we waste. Let us *spend no money for Xmas gifts ex­ cept in making happy little chil­ dren, the poor and our soldiers.

Every assembly is of value. * Let us not lose these advantages by | failing to attend assembly at 9:45 every morsning.

At least that was the affirmation of all. the stu­ dents registered in the primary de­ partment on Thursday afternoon. They all wore rather long faces when they entered the training school but the "too much to do" look ironed out when they reached the large kindergarten room and found the tables spread. It was arranged by Miss Sholty, Miss Kindchy, Mrs. Whitfield, and Miss Morris, that the primary de­ partment should all come together for an hour's" good time,, and a no­ tice was posted urging all to be present. The primarians may be complimented on the fact that they do read the bulletin board, for, all came. ' • . While around the tables, which were arranged attractively in a family like group interesting exper­ iences were told and many valu­ able pointers were gained by hear­ ing how some other teacher met an unusual experience. Unusual experi- faniily-like group, interesting exper- nces in the school room are like the unusual weather in one's home, the usual is the exception. Almost everyone had something to tell that gave the listener a feeling that the pioneers were not all of pictures­ que guise, such as Dr: Meany pic­ tured, sturdy and strong with axe and shovel to dig his way. Many pioneer experiences in the field of education in remote parts of the North were told. ' t .. . - •- £ Everjr'One*1"was interested they foiigot that they were sitting on [kindergarten chairs, but the commit­ tee of arrangements remembered their rules of pedagogy and the guests were asked to help push the tea tables back and make room for games. Miss Schneider played.the piano for two lively games and promptly at 5:15 the guests depart­ ed. It is the plan of the depatrment to meet often in a most informal way just for a good time. Members of the A. S. B. board and Student Opinion staff are re­ joicing • over :the .purchase ' of a typewriter by the. A. S. B. No more will there be a frantic search and desperate appeal for the use of a machine when there is urgent need for typing! Those who so, often borrowed Dean Baker's typewriter wish to thank her most sincerely for her kindness and generosity for the •use • of her machine. Startling Catastrophe. Student Opinion's cub reporter wandered into the. president's office just in time to find our usually calm executive secretary in a "naw- ful scrape." Two stenographers and the janitor strove in vain to res­ cue her. Alas! ink!! mucilage!!! The -.bottle of ink and the bottle of mucilage had had a fight, spilled themselves all over the contents of j their drawer in the desk. Papers were removed, but on our latest information the drawer and the rnu-J cilage held immovable the glass bot­ tom of the broken bottle, the ink-"1 stand, and one lone piece of chalk! I The Damman school closed last u'uesday because of an epidemic of s scarlet fever. Most of the practice j teachers returned to Kamola hall! during their enforced vacation. •t , / Washington State Normal School - -• - ' Third Quarter Begins January 28 . / . — Address for informalion (JTV 'V-' GEORGE H.

Billington in his address to the student body before Thanks­ giving. He presented to his au­ dience the unique proposition that life is a problem in geometry— a circle in which there are three straight lines to represent a tri­ angle, the sides of which are the body, the,, mind and the mprals. An­ other triangle,4 heredity/ individual­ ity and environment. We get the most out of life when we put the most in. "A 150 pound man is worth just $8.00," was the startling decla­ ration made by Rev. Young, to the student body, "for there is enough salt in him to fill a salt cellar, enough sugar to fill a sugar bowl, 'albuminoids for six eggs and other ingredients of commercial value." "What does it take to ma/ke a man complete, From the top of his head to the bottom of his feet." The true measure of a man is one that is a friend to all mankind and one who aspires to climb to greater heights mentally, morrally and spiritually. The history of the Red Cross was given by the sixth grade of the Training school, in Thursday morn­ ing assembly. The life of Florence Nightingale and her work in the Crimean war and the noble work of Clara Barton in the Civil war, were told by the children. Each told a part of the story which made it more interest­ ing. ' j If it's ready to wear Burroughs has it. HENDERSON CORSETS !
