4 THE RIMROCK ECHO STONER PRESENTS WORLD'S FAIR FILM Students of E. M. N. S. were personally conducted through A Century of Progress Fair on Thurs- day evening, November 23, as guests of a fellow student, Robert Stoner. The tour, in motion picture form, was presented in the Normal School gymnasium. Music and necessary explanations were provided by Mr. Stoner. George Farr assisted by operating the machine. Last summer Mr. Stoner bor- rowed a movie camera and several miles of film, and set forth to Chi- cago to photograph the exposition in a way which would appeal to children. \Beppo a life-like reproduction of a wire-haired terrior, played the title role in the picture, \Beppo at a Century of Progress.\ This makes the picture most attractive to chil- dren. The film was immensely enjoyed by those seeing it, and too much cannot be said of its educational value and teaching possibilities. Mr. Stoner hopes to obtain book- ings to display the pictures in rural and town schools in this vicinity. May we take this opportunity to thank Mr. Stoner in appreciation of his making it possible for us to take this trip. Seniors Entertain With All School Party, Nov. 27 An all-school party sponsored by the senior class was given Friday evening, October 27, at the Coli- seum. A large number were pres- ent including a few faculty mem- bers and many invited guests. Re- freshments, consisting of dough- nuts and sweet cider, were served throughout the evening. Dancing was made exceedingly enjoyable by the music of the Coliseum orches- tra. PLAY IN ORCHESTRA Four E. M. N. S. students, Jean Todd, Inez Waddell, Agnes Ares- tad, and Pauline Kleinhesselink, are members of the Billings Sym- phony conducted by Ralph Rauh. Practices are held every Monday at 7:30 p. m. in the activity room of the high school. There is a variety of instruments and about 40 players. The organization will be given a name at the next meet- ing. Helen Balook visited at her home in Roundup. Emma Chupp spent the week-end with her sister in Glendive. But there will be an E. M. N. S. dance Friday night, December 1, in the high school gym. You may cut all the classes during the day if you want to risk it, but don't miss this dance in the evening. By dancing with the instructors your absence during the day may be overlooked. Dramatics Class Has Puppet Show Red Riding Hood, the Three Lit- tle Pigs, and the Gingerbread Boy may all be seen cavorting about in miniature in Miss Dewey's dramat- ic art classes. The puppet shows are conducted entirely by members of the class who make the puppets, write the plays, and present them. The class hopes to be able to present their shows at the local grade schools soon, but at the pres- ent they are enjoying each other's performances. After Thanksgiving dolls will be dressed and toys repaired, which will be presented to needy children at a Christmas party at the Fox theatre. STUDENTS SKETCH IN SHANTY DISTRICT Sketch Club members for the past three weeks have been sketch- ing various odd and sundry places in the vicinity of the Taft School. This neighborhood seems to be the best from the artist's point of view, but the worst from the standpoint of environment. In the future the members plan to make portfolios, which will con- tain all their material sketched during the quarter, and which will be placed on exhibition at a later date. N. R. A Offers Loan Possibilities (Continued from Page 1, Col. 3) in eastern Montana. In six years 650 students have been graduated, and more than 3,000 have enrolled in the institution. It has been esti- mated that 25% of all Montana teachers have come under the in- fluence of the school. For the fall quarter of 1933 enrollment records show the usual gain even though other institutions throughout the country show a loss of attendance. Crowded Condition At Present Such growth and development have been realized in the face of great difficulties. Eastern Mon- tana Normal School is an institu- tion without a roof, a name without a place. It has been and is operat- ing under crowded and unsatisfac- tory conditions. In spite of these handicaps this institution has made its influence felt throughout the entire Treasure State. The people of Montana want to provide it with a home as shown by the vote upon the bond issue in 1930. When we consider that building now will pro- vide work for many men immedi- ately, and, furthermore, that it is a good business proposition to take advantage of this offer from the United States government, we have no doubt that the legislature in this special session, called for the specific purpose of enabling the state to take advantage of funds provided by the United States gov- ernment, will approve the plan. f If times keep getting better there may yet be a car for every filling station . Katoyas Present Xmas Performance The Katoya Players will give their annual Christmas gift to the city of Billings in the form of a Christmas play, \Why the Chimes Rang,\ to be given on the after- noon of December 17, at the Fox. The leading speaking parts are carried by Jack McLean as \The Boy,\ and Maybelle Erickson as \The Little Brother.\ The other parts are not definitely assigned. MEEK SPEAKS AT LAUREL Miss Meek spoke at the Laurel Parent-Teachers meeting on \Men- tal Health of Parents and Chil- dren,\ on Wednesday, November 8. The program was arranged by Miss Elizabeth Cooke, an alumna of E. M. N. S. ATTEND PROGRAM ON ARMISTICE DAY According to custom E. M. N. S. students were excused from classes at 10:55 on Saturday, November 11, to attend the Armistice day pro- gram at the Fox theater. The program, sponsored by the local post of the American Legion, consisted of patriotic music, read- ings, and speeches. These pro- grams are presented each year by the Legion for the benefit of the people of Billings. Have Pot-Lunch Dinner The Methodist E. M. N. S. Sun- day School class had a pot luck dinner on Wednesday, November 22 in the church basement. Stu- dents present were Virginia Lof- gren, Ruth Collins, Edith Collins, Helen Kovarick, Ruth Boyd, Mar- jorie Marquette, Edna McCann, Elma Chapple, and Agnes Arestad. Ed Schendel, a former student, was also present. MRS. BRIDENBAUGH ENTERTAINS Mrs. Bridenbaugh, who teaches the college student M. E. Sunday school glass, gave a tea at her home Sunday, October 29. The class is composed of approximately 25 E. M. N. S. students. Those present were June Knapp, Helen Kovarick, Ruth Boyd, Zylpha Town- send, Ruth Collins, Doris Lease, Edith Collins, Marjorie Marquette, Edna McCann, Virginia Lofgren, Margaret Darnell, Helen Pace, Lor- raine Crossen, and Agnes Arestad. School On Friday There will be no school on Thanksgiving day, but don't eat so much turkey that you aren't able to get to classes on Friday. If you must stay out of school at all don't, by all means, choose Friday or Sat- urday following Thanksgiving. We warn you—it will take more than a legitimate excuse to satisfy Prexy. The student janitor of the Ad- ministration Building, Noel Rigby, visited at his home in Belfry over the week end of November 11. E. M. N. S. GRADUATES HAVE JUNIOR RANK Graduates of E. M. N. S. may enter the Stata University with junior standing. Grade points will be transferred with the student. A grade point per credit is required for graduation from the university, but extra points rere may not be applied on the work done at the university. If, however, he has fewer than one grade point per credit to transfer, the extra points must be earned at the university before graduation. In order to major in any subject it is necessary to take from 50 to 65 credits in that subject. If no course taken in E. M. N. S. can be used as a part of that major more than two years would be needed to receive a degree. A student having done only a part of the course offered here may present his credits to the registrar who will select those credits ac- ceptable to the college course. If you plan to attend the state university after graduating here there are certain points to remem- ber: first, do not plan to pile up grade points here in order to loaf at the university, it doesn't work; second, your major will determine the length of time you must remain in school to receive a degree; third, being graduated from here gives you a junior standing at the uni- versity; and fourth, a catalogue will clear up many difficulties. If you wish to attend other schools study their requirements for entrance and graduation. Sum- mer sessions will aid greatly in keeping up with education during the time you teach. ROBERTS JUDGES POSTERS Monday evening, November 20, the American Association of Uni- versity Women sponsored a poster contest on Educational Toys for children of school ages and pre- school age, at the McKinley School. The posters were judged by Miss Roberts, Mrs. H. C. Hines, and Mrs. Elmer Larson. There were six which received honorable mention. The first prize of one dollar went to Wesley Milner, and the second prize, fifty cents, went to Mary Jane Jensen. REVEALS TEACHING EXPERIENCES Jane Brown tells us she is mighty lonesome, even though she is busy teaching in the Beebe Bottoms north of Jordan. She has in her school six children from one fam- ily. After Christmas she will move to another school nearby and teach seven children from two families. She says she is out in the sticks and she steps just around the cor- ner—about 20 miles - away—to the mail box. Students of E. M. N. S. extend their sympathy, through the Rim- rock Echo, to Judy Birch, who was recently called home by the illness and succeeding death of her father.
