McMULLEN One of the delights of attending a state institution is that no finan- cial demands are made upon its graduates by the institution. All that the Eastern Montana Normal school expects of its alumni and former students is that they attempt to return a particularly fine brand of ser- vice to the state that helped to educate them. One of the ways in which service may be improved, because of the revival of one's own spirit and enthusiasm, is by attendance upon the meetings of the M. E. A. Montana is so large that these meetings are held in three districts. This year one is to be held in Bozeman, one in Great Falls, and one in Miles City. The dates of the meetings are October 24, 25, 26. It is to be hoped that every former student of the Eastern Montana Normal school who is at all able to reach one of these_ conventions will avail himself of the opportunity and will assist in the reunions of the students, which will be features of the meetings. At present but one formal reunion luncheon has been planned. This will be held in Miles City on October 25th, in the Christian church. If the roads are good practically the entire faculty will be present at this luncheon.—L. B. McMullen. WELCOME GEOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF ENROLLMENT THE ENROLLMENT OUTLOOK The Eastern Montana Normal school is starting the new year with an enrollment which includes representatives from thirty-six out of the total of fifty-six counties. The total number attending, including six out- of-state stludents, is two hundred twenty-six. Of these approximately seventy-five are second-year students. Because of the recent opening of the normal school at Havre, Mon- tana, and because so many of our first year students have been able to secure positions and are now in the field, our enrollment is slightly less than that of the past year. However, we feel encouraged when we real- ize that nearly three-fifths of Montana is being served by the Eastern Montana Normal school. IS WILL DURANT RIGHT? Mary J. Meek Margaret Brown Ella Mae Cline Mrs. Ruth Gregory Dorothy Kramer Lillian Lohse Sarah McNeil Sarah Oja Irene Petosa Ena Raths Thelma Wendte Welcome! New students! Welcome to E. M. N. S. We are proud of the fact that there are so many of you. We need your pep and en- thusiasm, and so we welcome you gladly. We hope you will like E. M. N. S. THEN AND NOW Two years ago the Eastern Montana Normal school opened for the first fall term. Temporary buildings had been secured, but the equiip- ment was very meager. For several weeks the students and faculty had to be content with folding chairs, the slow arrival of textbooks, the lack of reference books, and the confusion which resulted from establishing a new type of educational program in a new school. Nevertheless, out of these inconveniences were born enthusiasm, appreciation, and co- operation. This year the normal school is still housed in temporary buildings, but the classrooms are well equipped. The library has grown to a size of which every student is justly proud. Textbooks are easily secured and folding chairs belong to the memories of the distant past. The confusion which marked the commencement of school two years ago seems un- believable to us now. But the high ideals established amid the hardships of pioneer days are still with the Eastern Montana Normal school. They are leading the institution onward to further growth and service. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES It is the duty of every student to take some part in the activities which go to make up our school. This is the best way of showing true school spirit. Another way school spirit is shown is in willingness to cooperate with the teachers and other students. We are going to need the combined effort of every student to make this the best year for E. M. N. S Come on! Let's see what we can do! ATTITUDE OF NEW STUDENTS When we begin something new and different we must have the right attitude in order to succeed. No matter what it is that we do in life, we are sure to meet with some hardships, but the proper attitude will pull us over every barrier in our way. So, new students, form an attitude which will help you reach your goal. You must cooperate with your fellow students, be willing, and stick to your work. Everyone of us has heard the old saying, \Where there is a will there is a way.\ Keep this in mind while doing your work. Go about your work in a business-like way, and nothing can hinder your progress. Do not let one opportunity slip by. Grasp them all. The success and the future of the Eastern Montana Normal school depends on you. Stop and think—are you 'helping to make it successful? Dr. Will Durant, author and philosopher, in answering Bertrand Rus- sell, the eminent English philosopher, in a debate in New York recently, made this statement, according to the press: \There is no fault with the progress of intellect in America. The problem is that intellect has pro- gressed here much faster than character.\ Here at E. M. N. S. each student is free to determine his own behavior. Our slogan is \Learn to do by doing.\ But unless a student shows ability to develop a stable character along with intellect, he will be advised—with finality—to enter some other field of work. How are you lining up? Students of yesterday, teachers of today, are you still with us in spirit? The annals of our school, our work, our progress and our good times are being recorded in Rimrock Eches. We wish to share them with you. We also want you to help us publish an interesting alumni column by writing letters about your work. Since this paper does not carry advertisements, it requires financial support. We shall be unable to provide you with copies unless we have your cooperation. Here's our guarantee for six copies of Rimrock Echoes during the year 1929-30. Let us write your name with the rest on the subscription list. Be prompt. Send fifty cents in stamps with the coupon found else- where in this paper. SUBSCRIBE TO RIMROCK ECHOES
