The play is one of those which the Katoya Players will present at various meetings in this district. The other is \Wedding Clothes.\ The cast of the former included were: Mar- garet Baker, Al Frazier, Dolores Bohling, Eunice Andrews, Willette Gummow, Isabelle Hunt, Laura Hollyk, Mary Herak, Miss Brain. Students Tryout Hazel Simpson gave \River of Stars\ by Noyes and John Peterson gave the Swedish version of \Court- ship of Miles Standish.\ as their tryouts for Katoya. They have been admitted into the organiza- tion. Members Vote Prize At the business meeting the treasurer's report was heard and the members voted to give a prize for dramatics work in the school, the exact amount to be de- cided by a committee. The com- mittee, Isabel Hunt, Martha Calvert and Bill Giltner, will confer with Miss Dewey and Dr. McMullen to JACKETS LOSE LAST THREE SEASON GAMES POLY WINS CITY TITLE; PANTHER GAME CLOSE A rally which netted them 14 points in less than ten minutes of play, and enabled them to overtake their fighting opponents' 10-point lead, made the defeat of the Yel- lowjackets by the Intermountain Union Panthers doubly hard to bear. The ranchers led 24-14 at the half, but before 10 minutes of the second half had passed, they were behind 28-26. From then on, basket matched basket until a min- ute before the end Lyman, Panther center, made on of the two free throws he was awarded on a per- sonal foul, committed by one of the Hornets. The final score was 39-38. Owens led the Yellowjackets' scor- ing with 12 points, while Johnson and Stevens made six each. Poly Victorious The last Yellowjacket game away from home was played against the Polytechnic Crusaders February 23. After the first few minutes, when the Yellowjackets led 5-0, the Poly hoopsters were firmly in command, leading at the half 17 - 8 and winning 39-18. The victory gave the Poly its second straight win over the 'Jackets and full right to the city collegiate championship. Gallahan and Johnson contributed five points each; Maple, Poly guard was high scorer with 14 points. Coach Bjor- gum used several combinations, all unsuccessfully. After the first rush, the swift passing of Maple and Lau- kitis baffled the Normal School cagers. Carroll Wins The Yellowjackets concluded their season at home March 3 when the Carroll College made its last ap- pearance on the local court. After this year the Helena institution will not participate in athletic contests with other schools. What first looked like a close game soon be- came a riot, although there were times when the Yellowjackets ral- lied and momentarily brought the scores closer together. Although Bjorgum made many substitutions, only occasionally was there a sem- blance of the form the 'Jackets showed in the Panther game. The final score was 47-27 in favor of the Carroll hoopsters. There are a number of people on the ether who should be under it.—Atlanta \Constitution.\ determine what qualifications must be met by competing students. Whether the prize shall be limited to any one form of dramatics work will also be decided. Aim Defi ned The definite aim of the first Ka- toya group was to equip the stage in the new Normal School building. Since this has been impossible, this organization has assumed the re- sponsibility of encouraging and pro- moting all phases of dramatic arts work. That the awarding of this prize will be pointing toward the definite goal of the players is the view of the members of the club, who voted almost unanimously to award the prize. Will Select Special Topic Miss Dewey substituted for Marie Borberg as critic at the business meeting. Marie Borberg was ap- pointed to the position of critic for the March 21 meeting. Another committee appointed at the meet- ing will select a special topic for discussion at the next meeting, members of the club desiring to ac- quire as much practice in parlia- mentary law as is possible. Mummified Sisters Come To Aid of Modern Girl A. Hyatt Verrill, a recent archeol- ogist, presents us with the mummi- fied bodies of four of our antiquat- ed sisters, by title: Miss Mayan, 900 B. C., Miss Moujik, 1000 B. C., Miss Peru, 10 A. D., and Miss Min- nesota, 18000 B. C. and along with them enough of their clothing to prove definitely that whatever friv- olities we girls indulge in we at least come by them honestly. First these girls loved beautiful clothes, for around the body of Miss Moujik were draped thirty yards of gorgeous, delicately woven lace, perfectly preserved even today. She had entombed with her a polished hand-mirror and a vanity bag. The familiar contents of this bag in- cluded a compact with powder and puff, carmine paint, nail knife, nail- stick and some tweezers which were, we venture to believe, used for plucking eyebrows. This bag of feathers, metal containers, and wooden spatulas must represent very well the modern pocketbook with its—but we won't go into that. But at least our cosmetic-blighted reputations should be somewhat whiter. And jewelry! These ancients were loaded with it! Rich, precious jew- els ,and stones—bands and strands of gold and silver. These girls went us one better, since they had the audacity (and vitality) to encircle their heads with gems, place bands of silver around their ankles, and dangle jewels from their lower lips. So, flash your imitation diamonds, girls. Why not? Let us pass quickly over the fact that these girls possessed hand looms, knitting needles, and crochet hooks. Let's just call it a lucky break that we have sewing ma- chines, department stores, and style shops. Although neither Jacks nor Queens showed up during excavations, there were found in the purse of Miss Peru several bone squares with dots. What does that mean? Their presence hints strongly of late cold lunches on club days and trumped aces (or their corresponding crim- inal offences). Once again we bridge fans find solace in the vices of our ancestors. In a series of Aztec pictures one of the women is repeatedly shown with her tongue protruding, indicat- ing, interpreters tell us, that she talked incessantly. The significance is evident. And last, what one thing has called forth more sarcasm, dis- PLANS MADE FOR SPRING FETE Miss Stevenson has just announc- ed that plans are practically com- pleted for the spring festival which is an annual event in the spring quarter. The main theme of the event this year will be the Melting Pot. The first scenes will be In- dian dances. From that the dances will pass from one country to an- other, featuring the folk dances of these various nations. There will be Spanish, French, German, Rus- sian and finally the American dances with Uncle Sam as the cen- tral figure. JIM BRIDGER PLAY GIVEN BEFORE LIONS Mr. Dean took a group of his radio players to the Lions club meeting at noon, March 9. Mar- garet Baker gave a short life his- tory of Jim Bridger, illustrated by maps and pictures projected upon a screen. This provided a back- ground for a playlet called \A Night In Camp With Jim Bridger,\ featur- ing the reminiscent lies told by Jim while encamped for the night. The cast was as follows: Jim Bridger, John Peterson; Baker, a wagon master, Ray Myers; an ar- my captain, Orton Sirrine; a hunt- er, Galen Naylor. Galen Naylor played the banjo and Ray Myers the fiddle, furnish- ing the music for the camp. This group of players has two calls for return engagements from P. T. A. organizations to be filled in the near future. cussion, and quarrels than the day- time wearing of pajamas? Here, emblazoned on book-like strips of Aztec papyrus, are pictures of wom- en wearing about their work very modern pajamas. We now contend that the boys must either shut up about pajamas or prove that King Tut wore spats. Therefore, girls, if our friend ex- cavators can prove that our ancient sisters went on blind dates, attend- ed bargain sales, and chewed gum our masculine friends will be com- pelled to search elsewhere for ma- terial for feminine slams. Even as things stand aren't we pretty well justified in our styles and customs? For even women couldn't continue to be wrong for 20,000 years. President Roosevelt is the thirty- second president. Mrs. Roosevelt is double a Roosevelt. She was Anna Elinor Roosevelt before she married. So now she's Anna Elinor Roosevelt Roosevelt. In Shakespeare's time, anyone possessed of evil spirits was called a witch. Now we call him a boot- legger. An impressive and not soon to be forgotten entertainment was the one enjoyed by normal school stud- ents and citizens of Billings when the Don Cossack Russian Male Cho- rus under the direction of Serge Jaroff appeared in a varied and unique program at the Babcock the- atre, Thursday evening, February 23. It is seldom that such an op- portunity is afforded Billings, and the spontaneous applause and eager attention of the entire audience gave evidence of its genuine appre- ciation of real music. Led by the \diminutive but dy- namic\ leader, Jaroff, these skillful Russian artists presented a pro- gram which consisted of an inter- esting variety of sacred and love songs, folk-melodies, and war songs, all by Russian composers and sung in their native tongue. Among them were Jaroff's own arrangement of \The Red Sarafan,\ \On the Road to Petersburg,\ and \The Volga Boat Song,\ and Gretchaninoff's \Song of the Don Cossacks.\ The stirring strains of the latter intro- duced a dance team which created quite an impression on the delight- fully surprised audience. As an en- core the Cossacks sang the beauti- ful \Cossack Lullaby.\ The 36 members of this Don Cos- sack Chorus and their leader are all former members of the Russian Imperial Army. Exiles from their own country after the world war, they organized and sang in a Rus- sian Orthodox Church of Sofia, Bul- garia. They made their concert debut in Vienna in 1923, and since NEWS FROM PLACEMENT BUREAU All the members of the March graduating class are registered in the placement bureau of E. M. N. S. Full descriptions of the class mem- bers have been prepared for distri- bution among the various county superintendents, principals and school board members of the state. The June class is now registering in the Placement Bureau. Nine of the March class have had teaching experience. Their years of experience vary from one to six. Test 65 Children In Local Schools The psychological testing class, under the supervision of Dr. Hines, has completed the testing of 65 speech defective children in the public schools of Billings. The class is now at work in the Fratt school. When the 32 children in that school have been tested the work for the winter quarter will be complete. Several members of the present class wish to continue the course next quarter. They are Maxine Ellithorpe, Ruth Korber, Margaret Baker, Ruth Oie, George Richard- son, Norman Larson and Horace McBride. Others in the spring class will be chosen from the original fall class. that time have been enthusiastic- ally received throughout Europe, the British Isles, Australia, and America. These Singing Horsemen of the Steppes travel on \Nansen\ passes issued by the League of Na- tions to people without a country. They arrived in 'Billings only a short time before their concert and left immediately afterward for the east, where they will fill other en- gagements. Normal students enjoyed the last of this year's Community Concert series when the Russian nightin- gale, Marie Kurenko, sang at a con- cert in the Methodist church audi- torium, Friday night, March 3. In addition to her unusual talent as a singer she gains much of her popu- larity by her charming personality. She responded generously to the ovation received from her audience and sang seven encores in addition to her greatly varied program. Mme. Kurenko, who was born in Siberia, sang as a star in the Mos- cow Opera, until conditions in her native land forced her to leave. During her six years in America she has become a sensational suc- cess as radio artist and concert singer. She has appeared as guest artist with the Chicago Opera com- pany, having established herself as one of the most popular singers before the American public. Kurenko's accompanist, Lou is Laughlin, added to the evening's entertainment by playing an im- promptu program including \Valse \Garden in the Rain,\ and \Flight of the Bumble Bee.\ NEW BOOKS IN LIBRARY (Continued from Page 1) the winter to the spring quarter— which entail much reading. The greatest number to use the library at one time is 65, Miss Rich said. This was during the first hour of the school day. There are 36 new volumes on education in the recent additions. There are 25 books on biology, geol- ogy and nature study; 22 on art; 21 on music; 23 on sociology; 7 on the mechanics of play writing and pro- other literature; 49 new volumes of history, geography and allied subjects; and 14 on children's liter- ature. There are also volumes on psychology, religion, Indians, gram- mar fundamentals, correction of speech disorders, the dance, party planning, and the mechanics of speech-making. Present \Boosting Bridget\ At School Saturday evening, March 4, Mrs. McMullen, Miss Martha Dewey, the members of the dramatic class who play \Boosting Bridget,\ and the play director, Virginia Conway, drove to the Hawthorne School to attend the meeting of the Parent- Teachers' organizations of that school. Mrs. McMullen gave the address of the evening. The play was given by Celia Abbott as Bridget; Helen Foster Owen, Mrs. Jane Brewster; Ruth Oie, Harriet; Lorine Laurie, Louise; Mary Herak, Rowena; Genevieve Spurgin, Mrs. Hastings; and Mrs. Welton as Aunt Emily. Other members of the dramatics class have prepared short plays which they will be glad to present for similar occasions. Had Senator Walsh lived, he would have been the first Montan- an to serve in a president's cabinet. Former Senator Dixon was promi- nently mentioned in 1928 for the interior but was made first assist- ant secretary.
