Thte Vol. 1, No. 2 Eastern Montana College of Education, Billings, Montana, June 29, 1955 Creative Rhythmic Activities Class - - - Pioneer New Educational Trend in the West BILLINGS OFFERS WIDE RANGE OF RECREATION Recreational facilities for the Billings area are among the finest in the United States. Several national and state parks are within weekend range, and various types of entertainment suit all tastes. For those interested in picnics, the city of Billings offers North Park, South Park, Josephine Park, and several ex- cellent spots along the top of the rims north of the city. For picnics and fish- ing away from town, many streams pro- vide favorable locations' within a 75- mile radius of Billings. Most of the lo- caticns are west, northwest, and south- west of the city. Theatre-goers will find three excel- lent theatres in town, the Dolly, the Babcock, and the Fox; and three out- door drive-ins, the Sage, the Motor-Vu, and the City-Vu, all of which present daily the latest and best in films. The Pioneer Playhouse will present several plays during the summer at their new location on Central Avenue. Many Sports Activities in Billings Sports-minded people will be able to enjoy almost a complete round of activ- (Continued on Page 4) CALENDAR June 29—Annual Watermelon Bust Student Union Patio 7:30 p.m. June 30—Baseball: Mustangs vs. Salt Lake, Cobb Field, p.m. July 6—All College Convocation Ad Building Auditorium, 9:30 a.m. Eastern Students Work In Pioneer Playhouse Participating in the work of the Pio- neer Playhouse this summer is Wayne Hunkins from Columbus, Nebraska, who is enrolled in the repertory theatre class for the entire summer. Linda Colvert and Betty Jo Murphy, both graduates of Eastern, are enrolled in the work- shop \Theatre Makeup and Costuming.\ Neil Melbolm, a spring quarter Eastern students, will perform in various plays. At its new location, 2202 Central Ave- nue, the Pioneer Playhouse was built four years ago after two seasons at the senior high school. It is presently owned and directed by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick K. Miller. Throughout the summer five plays will be presented, scheduled evenings every - sday, To the uninitiated, creative rhythmic activities may mean very little, but to those who at Eastern's summer session workshop are engaged in slides, glides, swings, spins, turns, hops, jumps, throws, rolls, curls, stretches, and boun- ces, under direction of Dr. Gladys An- drews, these activities contribute great- ly to muscular coordination, large and small muscle development, rhythmic awareness, group cooperation and ap- preciation, and recreational exercise. When, however, these actions are set to music, or are used to illustrate events or customs, they open up a wide range of heretofore untouched possibilities. Idea Applies to Many Fields Do you want to aid in the develop- ment of the numbers concept? Then suggest group changes during an activ- ity such as \Now join in groups of three,\ or \Form groups containing an odd number of people.\ Perhaps you want to make a his- toric event more meaningful. No soon- er said than done! You can actually perform the event and at the same time help develop a sense of rhythm, crea- tive awareness, and imagination. Many forms of activity, such as the study of music in other group cultures, can be used as a valuable aid in the de- velopment of music appreciation and personal voice control, not to mention the actual sociological knowledge gained. Each Makes Contribution to Class In addition to all these benefits, there remains excellent opportunity for each child to feel that he is making a con- tribution to the class or group as a whole. There are no major and minor efforts. Everyone contributes, and thus each feels the importance and pleas- ure of really belonging to the group.
