Subscription Price, 50 Cents EDITORIALS LOOK FOR LOST ARTICLES In all schools, and particularly in ours, where there are few lockers available, articles are continually being lost. And articles that are lost must be found again—either by an honest person who makes every effort to return them, or by a dishonest person who does not. The loser is lucky or unlucky, depending upon the type of person who has found his property. Students are urged to report all lost articles to the office immediately so that proper steps may be taken in their recovery. And students who find articles are also urged to bring them to the office immediately, so that they may be promptly returned to their owners. If students will be more conscientious in this matter, we feel sure that much trouble over lost and found articles may be avoided. WORTHWHILE MOVIES Do you ever read a book for Montana History, for Conference Class, or for English Fundamentals when you know it will not broaden your viewpoint or increase your knowledge of the subject matter? No, you spend your time reading what will be of the most benefit to you. Then why should you enter a theatre without considering the possibility of seeing something beneficial—something worth your time? There is never a lapse of two weeks without its noteworthy silent or talking picture available to theatre-goers in Billings. Would it not be a more self-satisfying plan to get your money's worth—and more—by selecting real picture-show bargains? It doesn't pay to take \cat naps\ during class periods. Your test papers will tell you why. KNOW YOUR STATE Do you know the land you live in? This might well be asked of any- one, but certainly we should expect the teachers of boys and girls to have more than a passing acquaintance with their state. In order to make school work of any sort interesting and worth while to the pupils, a teacher must be able to present things to them in terms that they can understand and appreciate. What better means would a person want than the materials here in Montana? Why, for instance, should any teacher of geography or geology need to stray far afield to find evidences of nature at work? Right here in Montana we have as much variety in the way of geography and geology as any person might wish for. True, we have no sea coast or harbors, but we have the mountains and forests to even the score. At the same time, what other state offers the wealth of historical material that is open to students and teachers in the form of stories and tradition about Montana? Any of this material may be used to advantage in motivating the study of history. Is any real comparison possible between the drudgery of learning bare statistics and the explorer's delight which anyone may experience upon discovering why things are as they are around us? BOZEMAN STRIKE President Alfred Atkinson wired the student strikers at Bozeman that \A school is run, not by threat of students, but by their cooper- ation.\ In this simple sentence is stated the only real attitude of stud- ent participation which will work out for the good of all. Doubtless there is much to be said on both sides of the Bozeman strike. Each may be partly in the right and partly in the wrong, but a better spirit of cooperation would have been shown if the students had deferred their protest until their president had returned. • THE LONE COWBOY \My Life Story,\ as told by Will James, stirs one with its simplicity— its frankness. He is one of Montana's authors who can win his way into the hearts of his readers either by his story or by the way he tells it. Especially to all people of the West, the kindred relation of setting, similar incidents, and the western life make Will James seem like an old friend telling of his life. There is nothing so hunky-dory, according to Will James, as a wild horse, a broke saddle, and a stretch of Montana cow country. His affection for horses and \drawing\ may be due to the fact that his mother and father both died before he was four years old, leaving him alone much of the time to furnish his own amusement. His love for \Smoky his saddle pony, has a strain of loyalty, pathos, and cowboyishness seldom found in a human friendship. We who are blessed with a home, a family, many material possessions, and friends, little realize that such a spirit of optimistic bravery can exist as is set forth in \The Lone Cowboy.\ THE BACK SEAT COMPLEX When general assembly was called Thursday, October 23, at the Chris- tion Church, there was a decided demand for back seats. As Amos and Andy have said, \What causes that, anyhow?\ It's a known fact that whenever a group of people gathers, the majority of them try to get as near the door as possible. Is it because they are tired and can't walk the extra few steps to the front of the assembly? Is it because they want to be ready to spring out of the door at the first indication that the meeting is over, or is it because they would rather be able to look at the other fellow's back instead of having the other fellow doing the looking? It takes very little more time and energy to get to the front seats, and it is much easier for the speaker, as well as the listener, to have the audience near the front. SH-H-H! LESS NOISE, PLEASE! \Sh! Less noise, please!\ How often we hear this admonition in our library. Is there any need for it? Do we not all enjoy the same priv- ileges in using the library? Why, then, overstep the bounds? Give everyone an opportunity to make the most of his study periods in the library. Do your talking before you enter the library or retire to the hall for little discussions. Encourage your friends to do likewise, and soon the librarian will not be forced to call, \Sh! Less noise, please!\ ORGANIZATIONS DIRECTORY SECOND YEAR CLASS Name Address Telephone Pres. Lawrence Aber 304 N. 29th 3218 Vice-Pres. Alice Chamberlain 619 Terry Ave 3359 Sec.-Treas.
