THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 Believe It or Not Jimmie Cunningham is Clark Gable's double. Two girls going home for the week end signed up with Miss Stev- enson before leaving. Three people from the B section didn't get their schedules mixed. Bob Stong doesn't know quite everything there is to know about physiology. Mr. Ridgely has a sensa of humor. Mr. Shunk understands German —much to his own detriment. He was out \two bits,\ which he gave to a bum. Mr. Hawks never wears a hat, not even a derby. Joe Weinschrott has \that school girl complexion.\—Courtesy Palm- olive. Doctor McMullen enjoys direct- ing the Freshman Chorus. Art Guthrie is a one woman man. The Echo class showed up Fri- day when Miss Meek was away. Mary Gibbs and Tillie Jensen en- tertained two prominent men of the freshman class for dinner on Sunday. The Echo staff has all the im- portant material in the drawer which won't open so don't be sur- prised if your name isn't in print. Don Foote's curly locks are nat- ural and not a permanent. The indomitable Mr. Bjorgum toppled last week as a classifier of rocks when Professor Shunk pre- sented him with some candy rooks for classification. Oscar looked them over carefully and then is quoted as saying, \Why any girl who knows anything at all about rocks could classify these.\ He then tested the rocks for hardness. Imagine his consternation when his knife point went all the way through the candy! Mr. Shunk: \What advantage is there in knowing the background of rocks?\ Burton Caruso: \So we'll know how to work when we land on the rock pile in Sing Sing.\ MEEK VISITS LOCAL BRANCHES A. A. U. W. Miss Meek, state president of the American Association of Uni- versity Women, visited branches of that organization in Hamilton and Kalispell on last Friday and Saturday. She also lunched with the board members of the Missoula branch on Friday. During her ab- sence her classes in English Fund- amentals were taken by James Vance, who is observing in the Eng- lish II classes. Miss Rich and Bill Ross had supervision of the class in Advanced Composition on Fri- day. CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON, DEC.)20 The Christmas luncheon, which will be given December 20, will be sponsored by the members of the senior class. 4 Dr. H. C. Hines spoke on \Child Psychology\ at a meeting of the Garfield-Taft Parent - Teachers As- sociation, Monday afternoon, No- vember 13. RELIEF FOR TEACHERS Federal Program Creates New Work The federal work relief program may be the means of furnishing employment for the idle teachers of Montana, according to informa- tion disclosed by Miss Elizabeth Ireland. This information was obtained during a conference Miss Ireland held with H. B. Swanson of Wash- ington, D. C., representative of the federal commissioner of education. The program, still in the forma- tive stage, will provide for addi- tional rural schools, classes for illiterate adults, vocational educa- tion, vocational rehabilitation, and general adult education. Teachers who are certificated, or adults who are capable of teaching but not certificated, and who are unemployed can be given work un- der the federal relief program. TEACHERS ORGANIZE CONSULTATION CLUB TO SOLVE PROBLEMS Graduates and former students of E. M. N. S. who are now teach- ing, organized a Consultation Club at a luncheon in the Commercial Club Saturday, November 4. The club, which is sponsored by Mr. L. R. Foote, Director of Teacher Training, is to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and the solution of problems among the normal alumni teaching in this territory. Graduates of other schools are invited to join. A question box was featured at the Saturday lunch- eon. All questions were answered by the faculty members present. The following executive commit- tee was chosen: Miss Lorene Kirch, Independent School, chairman; Miss Naomi Luckett, Canyon Creek School, vice-chairman; Miss Mona Houck, Canyon Creek School, sec- retary. The chairman appointed the following committee on the rural school choir: Miss Esther Lewis, Miss Faye Johnson and Mrs. Fanny Kirch. The executive com- mittee met in Mr. Foote's office on Saturday, November 18. The next meeting of the Consul- tation Club will be held December 9, 1933. Deda Neeley Gives Reading Discussion Mrs. Deda Neeley, representative of the Macmillan Publishing Co., gave a reading demonstration be- fore Mr. Foote's class Thursday morning, and before Mr. Dean's class Friday afternoon. She explained the method used in teaching reading from the Gates- Huber readers for the first three grades. These readers are among the many basic texts in Montana. The students were very fortunate in being able to hear Mrs. Neeley give her very interesting discussion. HOWARD WALTERS ILL Howard Walters, '33, is in the Deaconess Hospital now recovering from an appendicitis operatiqn. STUDENTS RECEIVE FULL VALUE OF FUND On entering E. M. N. S. each stu- dent is required to pay a five dollar activity fee. This fee was voted by the student council in the first year of the school's existence and has been carried over to the present time. E. M. N. S. students may be interested in the following figures, which show the amounts spent from the student activity fund dur- ing the nine months October '32 to June '33. Debate $58.57; Glee Club $88.76; luncheons $660.83; athletics $498.05; Custer Battlefield trip $14.70; Rim- rock Annual $414.81; Rimrock Echo $427.43; caps and gowns (rental) $132; social events, receptions, mix- ers, and class dances $643.33; lec- tures and concerts $706.26; senior dinners and dinners to Billings teachers $116.35; school plays and May fete $115.30. Total paid out $3876.39. • School Annuals For All Through the student activity fund each student receives a Rimrock Annual free. The average cost of these annuals would be from $1.50 to $2 if purchased by the students. Students were provided last year with five admissions to the com- munity concert series, which in- cluded three concerts costing Bil- lings citizens $1.65 each. In addi- tion to this, they heard the Don Cossack Male Chorus, which cost outsiders $1.00. Since the athletic program is sup- ported through the activity fund no admission is charged students for home games. Five basketball games were played on home- territory last year. Non-student admissions to these games were 50c each. Six free luncheons were provided, each a good 50c meal. Each E. M. N. S. student received eight free issues of the Rimrock Echo. Nine dances and parties, four student plays, three senior dinners, four debates, and one glee club con- cert were given for the benefit of the students and financed from the student activity fund. This fund also provided funds for the basket- ball, debate and glee club trips. Loan Fund Financed $500 was allocated to the Student Loan Fund, bringing the total in this fund to $1,000. Up to June 30, 1933, 48 loans, chiefly short time loans of small amounts, had been made from this fund. From time to time in later issues expenditures in specified departments will be dis- cussed. Because of the money available in this fund for advance payment and for buying in quantities, about 40 per cent saving is effected on all articles purchased. MISS STEVENSON ENTERTAINS Miss Marjorie Stevenson enter- tained at an informal Sunday night supper at her home in the Kendis apartments, 10 North 30th Street. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Dean, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.. Hawkes, Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Stuber, and Mr. and Mrs. 0. M. Bjorgum. _ Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due. 27 Cage Prospects Report for Practice When the hoopsters of E. M. N. S. received a summons to duty on Monday, November 13, an abund- ance of material awaited the atten- tion of Coach Oscar Bjorgum. In- dications are that he will have promising men for every position. By calling a practice Coach Bjor- gum entered his bid for recognition as the first basketball mentor to start whipping his club into shape for the 1933-34 state intercollegiate scramble. The Yellowjackets have a hopeful chance at least of getting somewhere in the race. A rough count disclosed 27 men. Among these, three were lettermen. All but two of the others claim three or four years of experience in high school ball. In all Bjorgum has nearly twice as many men out as he had last fall. And the 1932 Jackets were not setups. Their col- lapse in mid-season was due mainly to a lack of reserves. With re- serves to draw from this year they may become the troublemakers of the Montana circuit. Material for All Positions Fourteen forwards and eight guards are among the 24 newcom- ers. Although no seasoned centers are available, Bjorgum has a dandy prospect in Vance Bronson, a Broad- water youth, who towers six feet four inches. A little experience may be all that he needs. Other candidates for forward berths are: Hilton Utterback of Glendive, Charles Nelson of For- syth, Burton Caruso of Laurel, Andy Hofmeister of Ingomar, Matt Schaff, a transfer from St. Mar- tins College of Idaho, Harry Wilson of Worden, Walter Gilbert of Hyde Park, Everett Moyer of Lucerne, Ind., Homer Loucks of Redstone, Harold Breil of Billings, Art Martin and Dulane Fulton of 011ie. Guards include Phil Matross of Belfry, John Linton of Lavina, Glen Livingston of Baker, Price Rigby and Clyde Carrington of Belfry, and Allen Scott of Baker. Bjorgum will have more than a month to get the squad in shape, as the Jackets are not scheduled to open their season until mid-Decem- ber. That date is not definite, either. Negotiations are under way for a game with Dickinson Teachers College of North Dakota. The only definite game so far is on January 3 with the University Griz- zlies, on the home court. The reg- ular schedule will be released soon. SKETCH CLUB PARTY On Saturday evening, October 28, members of the Sketch Club donned costumes appropriate to Hallow- e'en and journeyed out to a haunt- ed house on the Rimrocks, where they enjoyed a \spook\ party. As the guests arrived they were greet- ed with weird sounds and a few ghosts. The evening was spent in trying to avoid meeting up with real hon- est-to-goodness ghosts and explor- ing gloomy caverns of the dismal place. Stories were told while cof- fee and weiners cooked in a tumble- down fireplace. Aside from a few calamities, such as stepping in a pumpkin pie, the evening was greatly enjoyed,
