S. faculty members were scattered about in many parts of the United States while on their vacations this summer. Probably none of the faculty spent a vacation so chuck full of exciting events as did Dr. and Mrs. McMullen. From Billings they drove to Mis- soula, where they were the guests of President and Mrs. Clapp of the state university. Points of interest which their trip included after leav- ing Missoula were: Flathead lake, Glacier park, Golden, Lake Louise, Banff. Leaving Canada by way of Glacier park they motored through the Little Belt mountains and Yel- lowstone park. They returned home after a tour in Sunlight Basin in northern Wyoming. The exciting events of the trip included numer- ous annoyances by hungry bears in Yellowstone park, a near shipwreck on Flathead lake, and a hasty re- treat from Glacier park because of forest fires. Professor and Mrs. Abbott motor- ed through North Dakota, stopping at Drisco and Fargo, then through Minnesota, visiting iron mines and schools on the way to Duluth. Pro- fessor Abbott also addressed the American Legion at Laurel, Sep- tember 12, and was chairman of a committee of judges at Montana State fair held at Helena. Miss Mary J. Meek of the Eng- lish department, spent the last half of August in Spearfish canyon in the Black Hills, and later drove to Wisconsin, visiting at Waukesha and Milwaukee. She spent some time in Aberdeen, South Dakota, where she was formerly a member of the teaching staff in the Teach- ers' college. Miss Elizabeth Daggett, science instructor, spent her vacation in her home state, Colorado. Camp- ing trips about Denver and Col- orado Springs, plus the collecting of fifty pounds of rocks consumed much of her time. Although Billings remained the va- cation headquarters of Mr. Hawkes of the social science department, he made numerous camping excur- sions. Together with his brother of the American college at Salonica, Greece, he camped in the Beartooth mountains and near Mystic lake. Miss Marjorie Stevenson, phys- ical education director, did not re- main in Billings during the summer months, but attended college in Berkeley, California. She also stopped in San Francisco, and spent a month in Salt Lake City. Her chief recreation during the summer months was swimming. R. A. Shunk, science instructor, enjoyed a camping trip in Gal- latin valley, where it is hardly necessary to say, he enjoyed his favorite sport of fishing. Science classes this year will probably have the opportunity of hearing some real fish stories. Dr. H. C. Hines of the education department, left in the earlier part of June to fill a teaching engage- ment in the summer session of the University of Southern California. With Mrs. Hines and \Dicky\ he made the trip by car. He reports a very enjoyable trip with no mis- haps. Miss Pauline Rich, librarian of E. M. N. S., took a trip to the east coast. In company with her her small niece, Betty, and Miss Edna Warner, also of Billings, she trav- eled to Barre, Massachusetts. The party spent a week in Maine, and stopped at Penobscot Bay, where they went lobster fishing. Their other stops included Boston, West Chester county, New Jersey, New York, and Pittsburgh. Miss Hermine Roberts, art in- structor, remained in Billings until after the Midland Empire fair, where she was judge of the art de- partment. After this she visited in Indianapolis, Indiana, her former home, and from here she made nu- merous excursions to places of in- terest. One of these was Hoosier Art colony in Brown county, In- diana. C. V. Ridgely, head of the music department, and Mrs. Ridgely, left at the close of the summer session on a tour of southwestern United States. Their trip included stops (Continued on Page 4) NEWS ITEMS Lela Henkel Scott was a guest at the first meeting of the Luncheon club, October 2. Mrs. Scott was a member of the June '28 class. She is now living in Cleveland, Ohio, where she has been attending art school. First year students have complet- ed their course in library construc- tion. Miss Pauline Rich conducted the class at the normal library. The rules for the use of the library were explained. At the Billings public library the librarian, Mrs. Henry E. Garber, Jr., told the students some- thing of the history of the library and also explained the arrangement of the books. Miss Margaret Wall became the bride of Mr. Thomas Astle, Jr., on September 14. Miss Wall graduat- ed from the Eastern Montana Nor- mal school in June, '28, and was in the employ of the Montana Power company until her marriage. Mr. Astle is with the editorial depart- ment of the Gazette. At five o'clock on Wednesday. October 9, 1929, the senior class of the normal school together with their guests, the faculty, departed for the south bridge to hold their annual picnic. Here Mr. Abbot, sponsor for the class, superintended the building of the welcoming bon- fires. After some games everyone enjoyed the typical outdoor supper. The group then formed on the banks of the Yellowstone, to sing the tra- ditional songs and to lister1 -- tb - story read by Thelma Wendte. The lapping of the water against the stony bank, the soft light from the moon atop the hills, and the yellow blaze of the huge bonfires formed a perfect setting for this after sup- per gathering. All were reluctant to leave, but were finally lured away by the prospect of a jolly romp at the \little gym\ in the \ad\ building. This first social gather- ing of the year was a great success. The opening of the Northern Montana Normal school was held in the school auditorium at Havre, Monday evening, September 30. The school was dedicated to the youth of Montana. President G. H. Var- ide Bogart says of the school: \It signifies the realization of the am- bitions of public-spirited citizens of Montana for an institution of high- er learning in a vast area that has hitherto been without college op- portunities near at hand. Chan- cellor Melvin A. Brannon was an honor guest on this occasion. Miss Martha E. Dewey enter- tained the women members of the Eastern Montana Normal faculty at a Sunday evening lunch, October 6. at her home, 948 North 31st street. The tea table was decorated with beautiful autumn flowers and deli- cious refreshments were served. Those present were Miss Elizabeth Daggett, Miss Zelah Hurley, Miss Mari J. Meek, Miss Lillian Wagner, Miss Hermine Roberts, Mrs. Fran- ces Sundahl, Mrs. L. B. McMullen, Mrs. Catherine Johnson, Miss Mar- jorie Stevenson and Miss Pauline Rich.
