EDITORIALS WHY NOT HIKE? I should like to take a hike this morning. I do not care where—to a distant mountain peak, along the river valley, or even on the rimrocks. But why hike? Many motives suggest themselves, the need for exer- cise being one of the most important. Hiking, if done properly, exercises the muscles of the feet, legs, and many parts of the body. Great breaths of fresh air are inhaled as a necessity. Your arms swing in cadence with your stride. However, jumping over rocks, ducking sharp branches, finding a suitable footing, keeps your body and mind alert. If you hike with a group, new friendships are formed or old ones made stronger. The qualities of endurance, cheerfulness and ingenuity are often manifested. You are shown in a different light to your friends. You cannot talk, laugh, sing, nor help someone over a difficult place in the trail without becoming much better acquainted. To a wide-awake mind the study of nature is an indispensable part of a hike. You dis- cover a star flower; hear a bird's blithesome song. A piece of lichen crumbles from a tree bark, while a butterfly flutters past. The aroma of the soil and growing things makes you feel as if you were a part of the earth itself. The real joy of hiking comes, however, when you have reached the top, or destination. You have tried and won. Considering the fun, exercise, knowledge gained, and the pure enjoy- ment of it, why not hike? FRONT SEAT MOVEMENT Why is it that the dismal beginning of most educational meetings, whether in the classroom or in the general assembly, is: \Will those in the rear please move forward? There are vacant seats in front.\ We heard this on registration day, and we shall probably hear it on gradua- tion day if we do nothing about it. In fact, educational meetings are gaining a reputation as back-seat meetings. In the classroom it is lack of respect for our teacher, not intended, but evident. In the assembly our speakers are our guests and as such they should not be chilled by empty seats immediately in front of them. Engineers, when listening to a speaker, are more considerate than to have the front benches empty. Even attendants at a prize-fight are more courteous than we. It is a situation in which leadership is needed. Come forward! Let's make it our business to have the empty seats in the rear of the room and not in the front. HARD TIMES ARE GOOD FOR E. M. N. S. We are right now in the midst of a great depression, but the Eastern Montana Normal School has a larger enrollment than ever before. Our students are not depressed. Many gay faces and joyous voices fill the former Y. M. C. A. building. The reason for this increased enrollment is that the young people realize that they must be prepared for future depressions. They also see that fine teachers are needed to prevent such depressions by careful and guided teaching of the coming generations. People wonder how these students can afford to go to school. Remember that where there's a will, there's a way. Students who don't have money of their own borrow it. Others work their way through. They are keeping money in circulation, which is just what we need at a time like this. These full class-rooms during the present hard times also show that education is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. Hard times or no, we need an education. THE LUNCHEON CLUB Do you know that the Luncheon club of last year gave a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted by its weekly meetings? Students who attended have gone out of school with more than classroom experience; they have had an education in friendly fellowship and pep. Do you like to tell jokes, laugh, and sing songs? Then the Luncheon Club is an ideal place. Hear peppy talks, participate in programs, put on funny stunts, know what is happening in school, develop school spirit. In the future many of us will want to lead songs, give after-dinner speeches, or preside at luncheons. Tell your friends about the Luncheon Club, and let us all join in a request for its return. A WORD TO THE NEW STUDENT During these first few weeks of school the new student has perhaps been in a state of bewilderment most of the time. Registration is always confusing even after one has been through it before. T comes the problem of remembering when to go to this class and w to go to that. There are lectures and class meetings to attend, and seemingly endless amount of studying to be done. The new student begins to feel that no one notices him or seems at all interested in his welfare. He feels like a sheep outside the fold. The reason for this apparent inferiority complex is that he is probably from a small or average high school where he is well acquainted and where he really seemed to be an individual and not merely one of the mass. The only solution of this problem is that he must learn to adapt himself to his environment—to fit himself into the group and learn to work harmoni- ously with it without the expectation of praise. We cannot all be in the limelight. In the daily program it is essential that some time be allotted to rest and recreation. All work will make one dull, dissatisfied, homesick, and a victim of a conglomeration of ailments one can easily do without. This is not idle fireside philosophy. Happiness is the keynote to success in any enterprise. Try to be happy in E. M. N. S. by fitting into the scheme of recreation and study with a determination to make the best of the opportunities it offers. WATCH THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS Since school adjourned in June traffic lights have been placed at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-ninth street. As most of the students find it necessary to cross the street at that point several times each day, a timely warning will not come amiss. Be careful to watch the lights. Even when no car is crossing you must be very alert if you cross when the light is red. The wise thing to do is to obey the signals and avoid danger. Cross when the green light is on. MUSICIANS WANTED! Why can't we have a school orchestra? Who said we can't? We can! We are sending out a plea for musicians. You don't have to be able to play the \Rhapsody in Blue\ or the \Prelude in C Minor.\ If you can play \America\ we want you! The bigger the variety of instru- ments the better we'll like it too. Under the leadership of Dr. Mei- Mullen, who is willing to give his valuable time to orchestra practices, we assure you that you can't go wrong. Mr. Ridgely will gladly help any struggling musician who will practice and put forth all his effort. Drag out your cornets, saxophones, fiddles or what have you, and sign up for orchestra today! If you have no instrument come and take your pick from those furnished by the school. A knocker never wins and a winner never knocks. DIRECTORY AIL
