1949 Editor Otis Packwood 1949-50 Editor Dorothy Dusapin EASTERN vs. CARROLL Friday, Feb. 3 and Saturday, Feb. 4 Mixer Friday - \ The Mormonaires\ 1949 ANNIVERSARY EDITION 1950 EASTERN MONTANA COLLEGE OF EDUCATION VOL. II NO. 4 BILLINGS, MONTANA FEBRUARY 3, 1950 RESIDENCE HALL A CERTAINTY NECESSARY FUNDS ARE ASSURED STUDENT PUBLICATION OLD TODAY EMCOE Reviews The student publication has been an active force for three quarters at Eastern. Taking a quick glance through the file con- taining the copies of each issue— the most striking thing is the change in size of the paper. Imagine! Only one year ago you received only four mimeographed pages, laboriously stapled togeth- er. Although it did not seem so excellent or wonderful to most— it did represent a good working bunch of kids—willing to give their time, without receiving ac- tual academic credit, to give you a college publication. For six issues, this group gave you such a paper before they were able to obtain a printed issue. There were eighteen, in all, who comprised this group—with four of those again lending their talent and 2 bility to the current staff of EMCOE. Featured in first edition was the winter quarter drama, \Fresh Fields.\ Next issue featured the Ski Club dance. Soon came the big spring charter event — the Sweetheart Ball! Continuously the events of Eastern were written about and sent to press. On April 14, 1949, the first printed issue of EMCOE appeared for the students of Eastern. A very memorable date for all of the staff members—featuring the news of the completion of the Science Building. Sports news gave the heading — \Baseball Practice Begins,\ and who can forget the inevitable win of East- ern over Rocky—score 6-3. The dudes stepped out at the Eastern Goes Western dance on May 27. Eastern took top honors at the sports meet at Carroll Col- lege, Helena. On June 6, 101 grad- uated at Commencement exer- cises in the gym. Eastern lost a lot of students through graduation but gained and set a new record fall quarter, 1949. Coach Oscar Bjorgum had started long before the quarter opened to get the football squad into readiness for the first match. In November, came the Home- coming weekend with Caryl Schrunk elected as Homecoming Queen. Again the Dramatic De partment produced a swell play, \Craig's Wife.\ The basketball tip-off came De- cember 2. The Christmas Formal topped the quarter for social events. A new year brought the ap- Thus the highlights and side- lights of EMCOE on its first anni- versary, February 3, 1949 to Feb- ruary 3, 1950.

Mr. Cooper will act as a con- sultant for the group which will discuss \Improving the Supply of Qualified Elementary Teachers.\ EASTERN PRESIDENT LEAVES FOR NEW YORK MEETING Dr. A. G. Peterson, president of Eastern Montana College of Edu- cation, and Mrs. Peterson left on Sunday, January 29, for New York state. They plan to be away from Billings for approximately six weeks. During that period Dr. Peterson has been asked by Dr. Alvin C. Eurich, president of the University of the State of New York, to conduct a study of in- service education in the state in- stutions. This study will be carried on in approximately 24 or 25 state institutions where Dr. Peterson will personally visit each of the colleges and universities in the state system. Recommendations will be made to Dr. Eurich con- cerning existing conditions and possible changes for the future in the field of in-service education. \This is also one of the big prob- lems that we face in the state of Montana,\ Dr. Peterson stated. \A great deal of attention will be given to in-service education as far as Eastern Montana College of Education is concerned. This study is therefore most suggestive of work in this state and will be of much assistance.\ During Dr. Peterson's absence Mr. Lincoln J. Aikins, registrar at Eastern, will serve as acting presi- dent. Assisting him on an execu- tive committee elected by the faculty are Mr. M. E. Johnson, Miss Marjorie Stevenson, Mr. E. Lyle Cooper and Mr. Oliver Pet- erson. FACULTY ATTENDS WORKSHOP The faculty met with the Coun- ty Superintendents Workshop on January 31. General discussion was held on some aspects of the County Superintendents Work- shop. During the anniversary week of EMCOE, Eastern's college pub- lication, the funds needed to com- plete the women's residence hall at the college were assured. The directors of the Billings Commercial Club undertook the raising of $20,769, the amount still lacking to complete the letting of the contracts. It was gratifying to see the immediate response of the people of Billings. The amount was raised within 24 hours. Low bids on the residence hall total $261,098. Another $22,970 is the amount allowed for furnish- ing; $36,710 is required for such items as debt service and reserves. Representatives of the college meeting with the Commercial Club directors on this matter were Dr. A. G. Peterson, president of the college; Mr. M. E. Johnson, business manager, Grover Cisel and George E. Snell, trustees. The faculty and students of Eastern are very grateful to the Board of Directors of the Com- mercial Club for undertaking this drive, to the people of Billings for responding so generously, and to the officers and trustees of the college. With the residence hall a reality next fall, the continued growth of Eastern Montana Col- lege of Education is assured. MRS. REESE ATTENDS ANNUAL CONFERENCE Dora J. Reese left by plane Sun- day, January 29, for Philadelphia, Pa., to attend the annual confer- ence on reading at Temple Uni- versity from January 30 to Feb- ruary 4. The conference is spon- sored by the department of psy- chology at Temple University. Most recent developments in the teaching of reading will be pre- sented and evaluated. HALF-TIME FRIDAY For half-time entertainment on Friday night, an elementary grade tumbling act will be presented. This group is composed of pre- school through sixth grade young- sters from every elementary unit in Billings. Their training is spon- sored by the City Recreation De- partment in its Saturday morning program at the junior high school. Their coach, June Berg, claims no great wonders for them be- cause they have but eight lessons in all. However, tumbling for that age sems to be a very natural activity. Mr. Oliver Peterson has two daughters among them. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS pointment of the 1950 Annual 15, 1950.
