Mr. Ridgley visited classes at the universities and col- leges which were still in session, gathering material for use in his department. During the course of their trip • they went deep sea fish- ing, and were up in planes several times. Second to music, Mr. Ridge- ly's chief interest was in the old ruins of cliff-dwelling Indians of Arizona and New Mexico. Some Stay At Home The other faculty members spent their vacations in Billings, taking short pleasure trips from time to time. Among this number was Leon R. Foote, supervisor of training, who devoted his time to being a model husband and citizen. Miss Martha E. Dewey, English instruc- tor, enjoyed her vacation decorat- ing and refinishing her newly ac- quired home. The most important event in the vacation of Charles Dean of the education department was the arrival of a son, young Charles Dean, on September 15. Students Work In Park Several students were employed in Yellowstone park. Frances Holmes, a graduate in June, '29, worked in the telegraph service at Mammoth Hot Springs. Bertha Birkland, an- other '29 graduate, was employed in the Canyon hotel. Leon Foote, Jr., drove a bus for the Yellowstone transportation service. Miss Bernice Rogers, a second yeir student, and Miss Erma Rog- ers, who entered E. M. N. S. this quarter, had a most enjoyable vaca- tion spent on a cruise of the Great Lakes. They sailed on a Ca- nadian flagship, named the Nor- onic, and were on board four days. They were on the water one night during a storm, and at another time the ship caught on fire. They spent some time visiting in the Great Lakes region, and on their return trip stopped at Detroit, Chicago, and St. Paul. They report that the trip was altogether a most interest- ing and enjoyable one. Tom Purcell spent a week at Rochester, Minnesota, followed by a very pleasant vacation on Lake Minnetonka, near Minneapolis. Miss Ann Weinschrott, March '29, spent some time visiting friends in Minneapolis. Most of the students who did not attend the summer session remain- el at home, resting up, preparatory to teaching, or attending normal school this fall. SECOND YEAR CLASS ELECTS OFFICERS A meeting of all students of the second year class was held immedi- ately after the luncheon Wednes- day, October 3, at the administra- tion building to elect class officers for the quarter and also to discuss plans for the senior-faculty picnic. Class officers were elected as fol- lows: Allene Beckett, president; Ruth Shively, vice-president; Kath- ryn Kier, secretary-treasurer; Leon Foote, Lucille Nelson, Fred Kozen- ek, were student council represent- atives. The first meeting of the Sketch club was held at the Washington building Saturday, October 12, un- der the direction of Mr. Manion and Miss Roberts. All students are cligible to become members if they meet the two-fold requirements, namely: to have a good time, and to try to accomplish something worth-while. The club was organized Saturday, and the following officers elected: president, Tom Purcell; vice-presi- dent, Jessie Allen; secretary-trea- surer, Gladys Stafford. It was de- cided to have a program at the first meeting in every month. A pro- gram committee was appointed, also a committee for the consideration of pins. Following the meeting the mem- bers went outdoors to try their luck at sketching nearby objects. The club, which is only the second one of its kind to be organized in the school, promises to be both interest- ing and worthwhile. RURAL EDUCATION Since the Eastern Montana Nor- mal school is primarily for the pur- pose of training teachers to fill positions in rural communities, the rural education course under Mr. Dean is a vital necessity. Mr. Dean says that if it is at all possible he plans to have the class make a number of visits to rural schools in the immediate vicinity and observe them in actual operation. This will be a real treat as well as an educa- tional advantage to those who have never had the pleasure of attending or visiting a rural school. Professor Burton Holmes, world traveler, who was an honor guest at luncheon Wednesday, October 2, told Dr. McMullen of his pleasure at seeing a group of fine looking girls who were so moderate in the use of rouge, lipstick and powder. KATOYA PLAYERS ELECT OFFICERS A special meeting of the Katoya Players was held Friday, October 12, to elect officers. Alice Sweet- man was elected president, Thelma Wendte remained vice - president from last quarter, Margaret Brown, secretary, and Thomas Purcell, trea- surer. It was also decided at this meet- ing that the Katoya Players would have a theater party at the West theater on Thursday, October 17, to see the mystery play, The Wasp's Nest, as played by the Withrow- Darcy stock company. GREAT UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA A meeting of the alumni and former students of all units of the University of Montana will be held in Butte on the evening of October 25, at 8 o'clock in the Finlen hotel.
