THE RIMROCK ECHO 5 KATOYA WILL PRESENT THE ROMANTIC AGE The annual Commencement week play, \The Romantic Age,\ by A. A. Milne will be presented by the Katoya Players on Thursday, June 11 in the High School Auditorium. \The Romantic Age\ is to be pro- duced by special arrangement with Samuel French Company. It is a delightful, whimsical comedy, one of Milne's most attractive plays. Every part is a character part and it is filled with romance and humor. The plot centers about a midsum- mer nights dream of Melisande, very romantic daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Knowles. The characters are: Mrs. Henry Knowles, with an im- agination which she uses occasion- ally played by Margaret Roberts; her husband, Mr. Henry Knowles, with a sense of humor which he cultivates for his own amusement entirely. This part is taken by John Abrahamson. Their daughter, Melisande, the beautiful and ro- mantic, is played by Erma Rogers. Jane Bogot, obviously pretty but entirely lacking in imagination, is featured by Cary Alice Sanderson. Bobby Coote, nice, clean - looking English man, pleasant, good at games, dependable, not very clever perhaps, but making enough money on the stock exchange. This part is taken by Dean Aldrich. George Mallory, always on the stock ex- change but romantic and imagina- tive, played by Joel Hatch. Ern, a small boy who has \'ad\ his break- fast, taken by Melba Webster. Gen- tleman Sousand, a philosopher-ped- ler, who defines companionship as the art of having breakfast togeth- er, played by Robert Gail. Alice, the parlor maid, Evelyn Rhodes. DR. H. C. HINES SPEAKS AT PROGRAM Dr. Harlan C. Hines of Eastern Montana Normal School is to be the principal speaker on the pro- gram for the county women's vaca- tion day held at the Airdome in South Park, Friday, June 5. Each of the clubs in the county will present a skit as part of the entertainment program. Music will be furnished by a group from the Billings . Polytechnic institute under the direction of Loftus H. Ward, and by the Eastern Montana Nor- mal School Glee Club under the direction of C. V. Ridgely. SKETCHERS ENJOY WAFFLES Saturday, May 2, the members of the Sketch Club enjoyed a waffle supper, after an hour spent in sketching. Carrie Alice Sanderson and Char- lotte Lemmer were stationed behind the waffle iron, serving the waffles out to the hungry group as fast as the waffles could be prevailed upon to bake. After the club members had sat- isfied their appetites and cleared away the remains of the feast, the meeting was adjourned for that day. \The school stands between the home and the community. Its task is to take children as they are and train them to stand firm under the pressure of life as it is.\ MANY STUDENTS RECEIVE APPOINTMENTS The following students who are candidates for the June graduation have been placed: Josephine Haug in the second grade at Lodge Grass; Mamie Lohse, second and third grades and the art at Froid; Leola McKittrick, the Morin school, dis- trict 17 on Pryor Creek, Yellow- stone County; Margaret Roberts, fifth grade and orchestra at From- berg ; and Gladys Wagner, the third, fourth and fifth grades and music at Judith Gap.

Miss Hilton Gives Aid Saturday, May 16, Hazel Hilton motored to Livingston in her auto- mobile. She was accompanied as far as Reed Point by Gladys Wag- ner, who attended the annual jun- ior-senior banquet held there. Elev- en miles west of Reed Point, Miss Hilton rendered first aid to a fam- ily which had just had a wreck. The car had been sideswiped by a hit-and-run-driver, and the car over- turned, pinning the man under- neath. Miss Hilton took the man's wife and two children on with her to Grey Cliff. The man was not ser- iously injured and the family were only frightened. Mrs. Philips, house mother of the Y. W. C. A., accompanied by Miss Carley, Marjory Lowe, Tess Dorsh and Reneigh Parker, motored to Red Lodge Sunday and spent the day at the home of Rev. Durant. E.M.N.S. AGAIN HONORED For the second time the art de- partment of the Eastern Montana Normal School has received the Carnegie Fellowship at the Univer- sity of Oregon. In response to an offer by wire received by Miss Hermine Roberts from Dean Ellis F. Lawrence of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon, she will represent the art depart- ment this year. Last year the Carnegie Founda- tion by a special - grant, instituted the University of Oregon as their second center in the United States for work in art, the other being Harvard University. According to the bulletin from the Oregon school, fellowships will be given to fourteen selected per- sons from as many universities, colleges, and normal schools of the west, which did not have repre- sentatives last year. The Eastern Montana Normal School is the only Montana school that has been honored by the Car- negie Foundation, for its work in stimulating the appreciation of art. Last year Mr. Keith Manion of the art department was sent to represent the school at the Uni- versity of Oregon. The Carnegie scholarship covers all expenses for six weeks and in- cludes a gift of one hundred dollars to be spent on equipment for the art department. Miss Laura Holden, Supervisor of Art in the Indianapolis Public Schools will take Miss Roberts' work in the art department during the summer. THE RIMROCK IS READY The 1931 edition of The Rimrock is off the press and will be distrib- uted to all purchasers at the weekly luncheon, June 3. The annual is handsomely fin- ished in a color scheme of black and gold. The theme, \The Pass- ing of the Frontier,\ is very ar- tistically carried throughout the book by blockprints of early fron- tier scenes. All of the art work has been de- signed by Miss Alice Durland, art editor and Miss Hermine Roberts, faculty art adviser. According to Dean Aldrich, circ- ulation manager, the sale of the annual among the students .pf the school has been moderate, but in order to reach the sales quota it is necessary to have the whole-heart- ed support of all students. The Rimrock will again be en- tered in the National Scholastic Press Association contest conduct- ed by the University of Minnesota. Last year the Rimrock received All-American honors in this con- test. The Economics class under the supervision of Mr. Hawkes visited the Billings Stock Exchange at the Northern Hotel, May 12. The class had been studying the stock mar- ket and exchanges, and the visit gave the students a better under- standing of the workings of the exchange. MISS MEEK VISITS GREAT FALLS On Wednesday, May 13, Miss Meek went to Great Falls to fill a speaking engagement at the State Conference of Parents and Teach- ers. Wednesday afternoon she spoke before the Eastern section on the Children's Charter, which was formulated by the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. Miss Meek spent Wednesday morning at the Great Falls High School, visiting with Miss Margaret Huntington, a teacher, and Mr. M. C. Gallagher, principal of the high school, and Miss Grace Reiding, of- fice assistant; both the latter being formerly of Billings High School. She was greatly impressed by the beautiful high school building which houses 1850 students. It is equipped with all up to date material con- ceivable for the training of high school students. The Household Arts Department has a model apartment in which students care for the home, plan meals — in fact do all the duties necessary for a home maker to do. There is also a large laboratory for the cooking and sewing depart- ment. The high school has a large, beautifully decorated auditorium to seat 1800 people. The stage is very interesting. It is sixty feet wide by forty feet deep and equipped with all the most recent devices for scene shifting. Two boys of the Tormentors Club, a voluntary dramatics club, ex- plained to Miss Meek the working of the scenery and the operation of the large switchboard which con- trols all the lights. The installing of the switchboard alone cost $5000. DEAN HERRICK ON LEAVE Mrs. Una B. Herrick, dean of women and dean of the college of household and industrial arts at Montana State College has been granted sabbatical leave, starting September 1, 1931. Dean Herrick will prepare a history of the devel- opment and progress of women's education at the state institution. Dean Herrick has become recog- nized as one of the leading admin- istrators of higher education for women in the United States. In 1913 she organized and directed the first girl's vocational congress in the United States. Three years ago she conducted a tour of college girls in Great Britain and Europe.
