THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 I President's Corner j THE SPIRIT OF MASTERY Down through the ages the Li- stinct of mastery and the material instinct have been two of the most potent factors in human life. Driv- en by the one, men have built bridges, tunneled mountains, cAn- quered the seas, built vast railroad systems, waged endless and sac- cessful warfare against diseases and pestilence. Driven by the oth- er, mothers have sent their sons to battle, encouraged them in their inventions, driven them to higher scc:al levels, elevate•i princes, de- stroyed thrones and changed the course of civilization. America has always stood for the rise of the individual through these two forces. Every son is a poten- tial president, every daughter a potential president's wife. We are essentially a race of farmers, and every man's house is his castle.' We think of machine-made life, be it Soviet or technocrat, as being a juiceless, tasteless, wholly uninter- esting affair. Granted all this, how can the spirit of mastery survive a machine age? It can survive by being more moderate in its demands, by being less greedy for power, by setting a true value upon its works. Translated into our lives, this means that we shall enjoy the -mas- tery of learning to teach, enjoy the rewards of teaching but at the same time keep strongly in oar thoughts our service to society. SKETCHERS MAKE CASTS The Sketch Club held their first two meetings of the winter quarter on the 7th and 15th of January. The first- meeting was spent in model- ing heads of clay. Some of these heads have taken on a likeness of the maker, while others have the appearance of pugilists and Afri- cans. Nevertheless the students have shown remarkable ability in this work. At their second meeting they had their pictures taken for the annual, The general pose taken was a long- ing glance at their artistic projects, which were the clay heads. When this picture appears in the annual, look for the striking resemblance of some of the sculptors to their models. GEOLOGY OR CARPENTRY? Take lumber in proper sizes and shapes. Mix well with a mixture of hammers, nails, saws, stains, varnish, and enamel. Let stand until the last week of the quarter, and then fill with a collection of rocks. This seems to be the recipe for some of the work in geology this quarter, according to reports from Mr. Shunk, and from the sounds— vocal and otherwise—coming from the second floor of the Ad building, where the official \workshop\ is located. Mr. Shunk says that the girls are showing remarkable .talent in this new attempt. Get your kodak out. Take snaps for the Annual. YELLOWJACKETS SWARM (Continued from Page 1) man for the Dillon team scored only 13 points. Larson made one more point by a free throw just at the close of the game, giving them a lead of three points over the sons of our sister institution. The game was over! The Yellow- Jackets swarmed back to their cor- ner, while the Bulldogs slunk away nursing their stings. DANCE AFTER DILLON GAME On Saturday night, January 14, the Student Council sponsored an informal dance in the normal school gym to entertain the Dillon team. A special feature of the evening's program was a group of such pop- ular songs as \The Old Gray Mare,\ \Levee Song,\ \Marianne My Mar- ianne,\ and \My Darling Clemen- tine\ sung by the \Graveyard Cho- rus.\ The members of the chorus were Leon Nelson. Horace McBride, Henry Peterson, and Ray Stevens. POLY TRIMS TEACHERS The initial game between the Poly and the Yellow Jackets, fought out on E. M. N. S. floor, resulted in a score of -41-35 in favor of the Poly. It was a fast game and our boys put up a good fight, but the skillful basket work of Laukaitis in the last three minutes chalked up four fie:d goals and left the Yellow Jack- ets in the hole. Stevens did some fine work as guard, but Galahan and Swanson were not up to form. The removal of Swanson, Stevens and Owens in the last three minutes of play spelled disaster. YELLOW JACKETS COULDN'T STING FURRIERS The Yellow Jackets met more than their equals Saturday night, January 21, when they played the Gordon Ray Furriers in the High School Gym. With Frank Ward, All-American center, scoring thirty points. the Furriers won by a score of 67 to 37. Jim Gaustad was high point man on our team, scoring 16. The receipts of the game went to the High School Athletic Associa- tion, and the Yellow Jackets appre- ciated the opportunity for practice. The Gordon Ray lineup is of uni- versity calibre, and the Yellow Jackets will not be likely to meet a team of their kind in conference games. NEW BOOKS FOR LIBRARY Miss Rich, librarian, reports that, since the beginning of the winter quarter about 50 hooks have been added each week. A few of those which were put on the shelves dur- ing the week of January 16-20 are here listed: Bagley and Keith—Standard Prac- tices in Teaching. Boynton—The Rediscovery of the Frontier. Broadus—The Story of English Literature. Chandler—The Bird Woman of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Coatsworth—The Cat Who Went to Heaven.

Yel- low Jackets will set their stings for a fierce encounter with the Butte School of Mines on the E. M. N. S. floor in Billings. The Miners are a powerful team and give promise of offering the stiffest competition we , have met this season. A pep rally will be held preparatory to the game, but the date has not yet been set. Watch the bulletin board for the date! Come to the game pre- pared to show some pep and give our team the support they deserve.

Student: \Swanson fell out of a car the other day and twisted his peninsula.\ Mr. Abbott: \His what?\ Student: \Peninsula.
