4 THE RIMROCK ECHO Bits of Wisdom ADVICE TO \FRESHIES\ Don't call Mr. Abbott's cut-up maps puzzles. Dont' ask Dr. Hines for your scores on the psychology tests. Don't make mistakes about al- phabetical order in handing papers to Miss Meek. Don't give Mr. Shunk a rock col- lection which has been used more than three times. He has a good memory. Don't sneak out of Miss Steven- son's classes without taking a shower. Don't sing any \Gee Whizzes\ in Ridgely's classes. Don't argue evolution with Mr. Hawkes. Don't ask Dr. McMullen to leave town on business. Don't have a Ladies' Aid meeting in Miss Roberts' presence. Girls, don't fear the moustache; it hasn't changed Bjorgum's dispo- sition any. Don't put a mouse in Dean's desk. He's not afraid of mice. Don't stop to talk to Manion after class. He hurries home these days. Don't call Miss Dewey, \Miss \Dooey.\ Don't ask Miss Rich for an or- ange music book; know the title. Don't complain about the work you do in Mr. Foote's classes. He works as hard as you do, you'll soon find out. An expert is a college professor who studies more and more about less and less and ends by knowing everything about nothing. Dr. ∎ McMullen's notices to stud- ents whom he wishes to interview should now read, \Why don't you come up and see me some time?\ Seniors! Pay Joe Weinschrott or Orton Sirrine the twenty-five cents assessment! Don't forget to read the bulletin board each day. You can't afford to miss important notices. During the summer months, Bill Ross vacationed in Glacier and Yel- lowstone National Parks. GLEE CLUB STARTS REGULAR PRACTICE The Glee Club has begun another year of melody making. They meet faithfully twice a week in the Washington Building. The person- nel of the group has almost en- tirely changed, but the new mem- bers show much promise. One of the interesting features of the Glee Club is its annual tour, which takes place in the spring. Last spring the group consisted of about 25 people who spent four days in touring cities and villages between Billings and Great Falls. Evening performances were given at Lewistown, Harlowton,and Great Falls, while numerous programs at rural schools were given along the way. The cost of living is about the same—all a fellow has. STONER TO PRESENT WORLD'S FAIR FILM After two weeks in photograph- ing scenes of \A Century of Prog- ress,\ Robert Stoner recently re- turned to Billings with approxi- mately 1600 feet of moving picture film portraying the fair. These scenes promise to be both entertaining and instructive. Taken primarily with child audiences in mind, the subjects have been chosen with great care. They include The Hall of Science, Belgian Village, Temple of Jehol, Travel and Trans- port Building, Wings of a Century, Indian Village, Federal Building and Lincoln Village. 'Mr. Stoner plans to have the film shown to E. M. N. S. students in the near future. Later it will be presented in schools of the county and the state. The running of the entire film will consume about 70 minutes. In speaking of the Exposition, Mr. Stoner stated that a visit to \A Century of Progress\ is an educa- tion in itself, and that this moving picture brings the education, as nearly as possible, to the child. An added feature entitled \Su- gar,\ a film taken in and around Billings, portrays all the steps in the manufacture of sugar, from the beet to the sugar bowl. Associated with Mr. Stoner in this work is George Farr, also of Billings. BRANNON AT CHICAGO Friends of Dr. M. A. Brannon, the former chancellor of the Greater University of Montana, will be in- terested to know that Dr. and Mrs. Brannon will spend the winter in Chicago. Dr. Brannon will conduct biological research in the Univer- sity of Chicago. HOLD MIXER ON OCTOBER 6 On October 6, the Eastern Mon- tana Normal School students were entertained at a mixer and a dance held in the high school gymnasium. The purpose of this party, held the first Friday of every fall quarter, is to introduce students to each other and to the faculty. The orchestra was practically all school: Jean Todd and Inez Waddell, violin; Ray Stevens, trombone; Leon Nel- son, cornet; Gilman McDonald, drums; Jessie Steele, banjo. Dr. Hines directed the arrange- ments. Punch was served by sev- eral girls of the senior class during the dancing. Manions Given Gift At Faculty Party Dr. and Mrs. McMullen enter- tained the faculty members at their home on the Rimrock road, Tues- day, Octobef 10. Interest was cen- tered about Keith Manion and his bride, to whom the faculty pre- sented a chair at the close of the evening. Last year 57,544 signatures, rep- resenting 70 different nationalities, were entered on the register for visitors kept at Shakespeare's birth- place at Stratford-on-Avon. ORGANIZE SKETCH CLUB AND PLAN FALL WORK Up to the time of publication of this paper three meetings of the Sketch Club have been held. The first meeting was spent in plan- ning tae work to be done. This was held Saturday, October 7. Those attending decided to hold a haunt- ed house party the Saturday before Hallowe'en. Officers Elected Officers were elected October 14. They were Elizabeth Patterson, president, Elda Watkins, vice pres- ident, and Byrl Kelly, treasurer. It was voted to finance the party with the dues for the fall quarter, rather than make a special assessment. The members decided to spend the fall quarter doing outdoor work, es- pecially colored sketches. On those days when it will be impossible to go outside, charcoal sketches will be worked on at the Washington building. On October 21, the sketch club- hers visited \Niggertown.\ Here they sketched backyards, shanties and many other interesting sub- jects. They later returned to the Washington building for refresh- ments and further planning for the party, October 28. New Members Invited New or prospective members are especially urged to come to the meetings, both for the art and for the fun of the club. No particular talent is needed; however, the club plans to prepare a potrfolio of work accomplished during the quarter. The winter quarter will probably be spent in clay modelling, char- coals and other work easily done indoors. Mr. Manion and Miss Roberts, art instructors, are the sponsors of the club. All those wishing to attend the party must pay their dues of 25 cents by Fri- day, October 27, in order that the committee may make adequate plans. Any officer will accept the dues. Sally Miller, June '33, and Gene- vieve Spurgin, August '33, who are teaching near Laurel, spent the week-end of October 13 in Renewing acquaintances at E. M. N. S. on Friday, October 13, was Don Steele, March '33, now teach- ing near Ekalaka. Among students who visited with out-of-town relatives over October 14-15 were Mrs. Manaige, who spent her time in Park City and Frances Holmes and Henrietta Lammers who visited at their homes in Hedges. June Knapp of Billings, a first year student, was among those who took advantage of the special ex- cursion rate to \A Century of Prog- ress\ to attend Montana Day on October 17. Miss Knapp returned to her school work on October 23. Zelah Hurley and Catherine Mc- Mullen Johnson motored to Butte for the Bobcat-Grizzly game. They left Friday and returned Sunday. The Russian balloon which went up 11 miles probably was trying to see where the depression ends.
