4 THE RIMROCK ECHO POPULAR STUDENT DIES Students of the Eastern Montana Normal School felt great regret at the death of Nova Perry, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident when she was returning to her home in Shelby for the Christmas holidays. The car in which Miss Perry and her father were riding skidded and overturned on icy roads between Power and Conrad. Miss Perry was a first year stu- dent in our institution. During a single quarter's attendance she had impressed faculty members and classmates as a student of ability. At the Christmas luncheon she was elected art editor of the annual, an honor rarely bestowed upon a fresh- man. To Miss Perry's family and friends the student body extends an expression of sincere sympathy. The school, too, has suffered a loss in her untimely death. t .... ... ■ .... ■••■••■•••■■•■••■ 1111 Student News Katharine and Mary Alt and Dora Leege spent the week-end, Febru- ary 4, with their parents in Round- up. Miss Betty Hilderman spent Sun- day, January 21, with her parents, attending the birthday dinner of her father, Jake Hilderman. Miss Marie Leis spent the week- end, January 19, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Leis at Laurel, Montana. Miss Cora Holte was called to her home in Lavina, January 6, because of the death of her father. She returned to school on the 17th. The student body extends its sin- cere sympathy to Cora. Jewel Birch returned to her home near Livingston to spend the win- ter with her mother. She expects to return for the spring quarter. Many of the students from the E. M. N. S. attend the dances given at the Johnston's School of Busi- ness every Thursday evening. Helen Murphy must have misun- derstood Dr. McMullen when he announced that school would re- open January 2, after the Christ- mas holidays. She failed to return to school until February 5. \What a vacation.\ Bernice Osterbeek spent the week-end of February 9-11 at the home of her mother in Lodge Grass. She reports nice visits with some of the E. M. N. S. alumni—Kathryn Lynde, Esther Crew, Kathryn Kier, all of whom teach in Lodge Grass. Hawkes Repents Mr. Hawkes is out to retrieve his lost reputation. He said, \I once had the reputation of giving the hardest tests in the school, but during the last two years I seem to have lost it. I want to get back that reputation as it is something to live up to.\ After hearing the groans of the students who have been taking recent tests from Mr. Hawkes, there is evidently no doubt that he has found the said reputa- tion. NEW STANFORD TESTS GIVEN TO CHILDREN On January 23, 365 children of the sixth grade in the public schools were given the New Stanford Achievement Tests by a number of students from Mr. Dean's class in Tests and Measurements. This work was done at the request of Superintendent Peterson in order that he may compare the results with those of a survey made two years ago to find out how the level of achievement is holding out. The students who gave the tests were: Thelma Parsons at the Roos- evelt School, William Sirrine and Siche Houch at the MOKinley School, Don Foote and Marie Bor- berg at the Jefferson School, and Mildred Robertson, Olga Swanson, and William Ross at the Garfield School. Give Us a Blizzard For a conversation ice-breaker, for small talk, for greetings, for journalism, yes, even for poetry, no subject is so popular as the weath- er. Although the subject has been overused and misused it's not a bad topic for discussion. It is a matter of vital concern to us all. No ques- tion so immediately affects us as, \Do we freeze or roast?\ unless it is, \Do we eat or starve?\ Having justified my subject I may proceed. Hasn't this weather been unusual? Of all the unusual weather we have ever witnessed this winter has been the most ex- traordinarily unusual. It is exceedingly hard to work up a well founded grudge against 8 o'clock classes when the day is so grand that anyone would be a fool to sleep; and it is even more diffi- cult to find ground for the custom- ary complaint against the winter weather when robins are chirping and green grass is showing on the lawns, and the thermometer is reg- istering April temperature day after day for six straight weeks. For the sake of the unpleasant disposi- tions that are breaking under the strain give us a good blizzard! O'BRIEN HONORS PAPER Students are finding an avenue for their literary efforts in two of our Montana schools. The State University at Missoula is publish- ing \Collegiana a quarterly maga- zine containing reviews, short stor- ies, and similar works by students. It was started in 1932 and was pub- lished throughout '32 and '33. Ed- ward J. O'Brian considered the magazine in his annual short story survey, giving it two places. The \Collegiana\ was the only student magazine of its kind to be consid- ered. The State College at Bozeman is undertaking the publication of a similar magazine called \The Open Range.\ One issue has already been published, and a second will follow soon. A liar is one who has no parti- tion between his imagination and his information. The smart man can always catch on. The wise man knows when to let go.—Florida Times Union. VOLLEY BALL TEAMS FORMED The victorious team in the intra- division volley ball tournament in the B division of the women's phys- ical education class is composed of the following students: Margaret Greenwell, Aline Lindland, Anna Gerrels, Ethel Van Hoose, Jeanette Parchen, Jessie Steele, Opal Nel- son, and Lucille Daly. The two teams selected by the class as best players were Team I, victors: Catherine 'Morgan, Mary Bee Roscoe, Lucille Daly, Jean- nette Parchen, Anna Gerrels, C'ol- letto Marihart, Alta Cobb, Lucille Olson, Ethel Van Hoose, and Anna Hannicz; Team VI: Clarice Hof- mann, Grace Trimble, Margaret Greenwell, Helen Sebek, Henrietta Lammers, Dorothy Lucas, Hilma Webster, Ruth Hollings, Aurelia Marcin Kouski, and Ruth Collins. These teams will compete with those being formed in the C divi- sion and those to be formed in the A division. Glee Club Busy The Glee Club this quarter is much larger than it was during the fall quarter. There are approxi- mately 50 members. A number of the freshmen have joined the ranks. New music has been distributed, and that means busy days ahead. The Glee Club is scheduled to sing at the meeting of the Stock Growers Association some time in March. Preparations are also being made for the annual spring tour. In previous years the Glee Club has appeared before audiences in seven or eight towns. Seniors Elect Officers Senior class election resulted as follows: Reelected—Arthur Guth- rie, president; Orton Sirrine, vice president; Joe Weinschrott, secre- tary-treasurer. Elda Watkins was chosen the council member to fill the vacancy made by the gradua- tion of Sally Warner. Dewey Loses Voice Because she violated one of her own rules, that one shouldn't talk when his throat is inflamed, Miss Dewey temporarily lost her voice. She was unable to conduct classes during the week of February 5-10. During her absence Dr. McMullen, Marie Borberg, and Miss Meek took charge of her classes. HELEN LEWIS IS CHOSEN PRESIDENT January 16, the members of the Katoya Players elected the follow- ing officers for the winter quarter: President, Helen Lewis, Billings; vice president, Margaret Colness, Billings; secretary, Stella Price, Miles City; and treasurer, Ethelyn Norskog, Miles City. The Katoyas are planning a ser- ies of one-act plays, but there will be no three-act plays staged this quarter. In addition to their plays the Katoyas are going to make a study of stage production and light- ing effects. The playwrights to be studied are A. A. Milne, J. M. Bar- rie and Eugene O'Neil. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAMS PLAY FINAL GAME The final game in the women's basketball tournament in the wom- en's C group were played Thursday afternoon, January 25. The Wild- cats came out victorious in the four games they played. The champion team was composed of Stella Price, June Harvey, Evelyn Norskog, Marie Hansen, Faye Harrington, Lotta Nelson, and Mary Ellen Ol- son. The C group in the women's phys- ical education class was divided into six teams which scored as fol- lows: Mudturtles won three, lost one; Bobkittens won two, lost two; Grizzlies won two, lost two; Tigers won one, lost three; and the Cou- gars lost four and won none. The following students have been selected from all the teams to form a team to represent the C group: Stella Price, Arline Janke, Lotta Nelson, Doris Corwin, Irene Kuhn, Jane Clark, Marie Hansen, Mary Ellen Olson, Dorothy Lilly, Mary Ann Wigh, Gladys Ronning. Evelyn Norskog, and Faye Harrington. The B group, who have been playing volley ball the first month, will take up basketball the third month of the quarter. The A group is likewise forming a team. There is a team being formed of senior women, but the names haven't been anounced yet. Plans are being made for the four teams of E. M. N. S. to play against one another. A picked team will also play with the Polytechnic Institute and Billings Business Col- lege teams. Class Has Picnic Miss Roberts' blackboard draw- ing class had a picnic Monday noon, February 12, at the South Park. The group assembled at the Washington building, where ma- terial for drawing was obtained and then proceeded to South Park, where they ate a pitch-in lunch. The picnic was spontaneously ar- ranged during class last Thursday for the purpose of studying forms of the various kinds of trees in South Park. Jo Strawn was ap- pointed as a committee of one to look after the menu. There were plenty of eats. Oh, yes—a few trees were drawn. PSYCH CLASS IS AIDING IN CLINIC Dr. Hines has established a psy- chological clinic for the purpose of testing undernourished and mental- ly impoverished children in this city. At the request of the asso- ciated charities, he is working in cooperation with them and the wel- fare board. Helping in this work is a group of 25 second-year students. These people have spent three months of intensive study in problem-testing and related subject matter. Dr. Hines' plan is that each student test one child each week. The chil- dren tested are cases which have been referred to this department. Miss Eva Townsend is also as- sisting with this testing. She is a special case worker and has been employed by the C. W. A.
