THE RIMROCK ECHO RADIO PROGRAMS SCHOOL NOTES Faculty Plan Vacations ALUMNI NOTES April 30 The E. M. N. S. radio hour Tues- day evening, April 28th was spon- sored by the Education department. A talk on the new certificate law was given by Miss Watts, County Superintendent of Yellow stone County. Mr. L. R. Foote of the Education department listed the qualifications required in the em- ployment of teachers. One member of the E. M. N. S. faculty who is never failing is Miss Alora Cress, of the music depart- ment. She is always at her post to play the opening musical num- bers for the Normal School hour. May 5 Tuesday evening, May 5, was health night for the E. M. N. S. radio hour. A health playlet, \The Death of Jimmy Germ,\ was given by several of the Normal School girls, a health story was told by Miss Dewey of the English depart. ment, and Gene Ernster played and sang the three selections, \My Car- olina Sunshine Girl,\ \Daddy and Home,\ and \My Little Lady.\ May 11 The E. M. N. S. radio program Tuesday evening, May 11, paid honor to Mothers' Day. The an- nouncements were made by Mr. C. D. Dean as usual. The origin of Mothers' Day was given by Esther Farnum. Mrs. J. E. Roberts and daughter, Margaret, sang two duets, \Lonesome I Guess That's All,\ and \Garden of Happiness.\ Mar- garet Roberts also sang a solo, \Mother My Dear.\ May 19 During the E. M. N. S. hour Tues- day, May 19, Mr. C. D. Dean gave an interesting talk on our Normal school summer session. He pointed out many advantages and benefits to be derived by attending the sum- mer session here in Billings. Because of the absence of Miss Cress, the opening numbers were played by Miss Jane Roberts. Radio Program Honors High School Graduates The final radio program given Tuesday, May 26, was a special one, dedicated to the hundreds of stu- dents in the Midland Empire who are completing their high school course at this time. Dr. H. C. Hines of the psychology department gave a brief address upon the four C's of success—cash, credit, character and contentment. Miss Christine Walser, music su- pervisor of the Billnigs schools, ar- ranged for several musical numbers by members of the Billings high school. George Wood played two cornet solos, accompanied on the piano by Francis McCord. Miss Inez Waddell and Jean Todd ren- dered a violin duet, with Miss Carol Rice as accompanist. This entertainment, which was accorded special time by the cour- tesy of KGHL, served as a fitting close to the radio programs of the past six months. C. D. Dean, chairman of the radio committee, deserves special mention for the varied programs which he has ar- ranged for the E. M. N. S. hour every Tuesday evening. RURAL METHODS CLASS GOES TOUR Mr. Dean's Rural Methods class, on Tuesday, May 5, spent the morn- ing visiting rural schools. The class first drove to the Haw- thorne, a two-room school west of Laurel, arriving in time to observe the opening exercises in the pri- mary room. After a brief stay there they visited for a few minutes in the upper grade room. The next school visited was the Allendale, another two-room school, east of Laurel. The teachers showed the visitors some very interesting work accom- plished by the pupils of all the grades. The class then visited three one-room schools south of the Yel- lowstone. These were the Duck Creek School, Pleasant View School and the Pine Crest School. The visit at each place was brief owing to lack of time, but the class saw five different types of schools and learned how the work was car- ried on in each. Duck Creek school was closed on account of election being held there, but the class inspected the grounds and classroom. The distance of the round trip was about 75 miles. E. M. N. S. CAMP GROWS The E. M. N. S. summer camp, a five-acre plot located on Nicholl's Creek, four miles above Red Lodge, is to be greatly improved. The building program for this summer includes a class room: 18x 32 feet, a bath house, a septic tank, and a faculty building. Members of the faculty are going to supply the rocks for the sides of their building and for the rock fireplace. They expect to do most of the con- struction work during two week- ends. Future plans also include indi- vidual sleeping cabins and a per- manent dining hall. This summer a mass tent will be used for the dining room and small tents for sleeping purposes. The camp is located in one of the beauty spots of Montana, and every E. M. N. S. student should plan to spend some time at the camp. VISITS MANY TOWNS During the last week, Prof. Ab- bott conferred with school superin- tendents and principals on school matters in the following towns: Miles City, Glendive, Sidney, Fair- view, Bainville, Froid, Medicine Lake, Culbertson, Poplar, Wolf Point, Glasgow, Malta, Big Sandy, and Fort Benton.
