THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 Offe...• ■••■■••■■■••■■•■■■■•■11■■•■•••■■■•■••■■•■■ •41 President's Corner I We are all familiar with the phil- osophy that there is no middle ground. This philosophy says that right is right, wrong is wrong, beauty is beauty, ugliness is ugli- ness, and so on, indefinitely. To this philosophy I would, in the main, subscribe. For example, I believe that there are two classes of people in the world—those who are lifting civilization up and those who are pulling it down. Undoubt- edly, teachers should enroll them- selves with those who are lifting up. But in the case of individualism versus regimentation I believe that there is a middle ground. No man who lives with other people can have perfect liberty. He should not expect it. On the contrary, no group of people should have abso- lute domination over its individual members. The group should realize that this will kill initiative at its source. There is a middle ground. Rug- ged individualism with its ruthless- ness in regard to the rights of oth- ers is going. Why swing to the other end of the arc and give the glad hand to ragged helplessness? I contend that the individual can serve society and at the same time maintain his individuality. CHURCH SCHOOL HAS PARTY Thursday night, January 29, the members of the Young Peoples Col- lege Class of the Baptist church had a party, in the church parlors. The singing of favorite songs occu- pied the greater part of the eve- ning. Home made candy was served to the guests at the close of the evening. Normal School students in attendance were: Francis Holmes, Dora Ginther, Marjorie Baker, Opal Muller, Lois Sharp, Margaret Fahl- gren, Helen Allen, Pauline Beale, Kathryn Millam and Marjorie Hor- rel. Mr. Foote of the Normal School faculty, the teacher of the class, acted as a host for the evening. Children's Picture Hour Continued The Saturday Picture Hour for Billings school children, led by members of the class in Picture Study under Miss Roberts' super- vision, is being continued this quar- ter for children of intermediate grades. On January 26, \The Prim- itive Sculptor\ was presented by Claribel Johnson to the third grade children of the McKinley school. Irene Pierce presented \The Or- phanage at Kotwyck\ to second and fourth grade children of the Broad- water school last Saturday. Billie Weast will conduct the hour for the pupils of the Roosevelt school, presenting \The Blue Boy.\ The George Baumgartners cele- brated a double anniversary Sun- day, January 20, memorializing their wedding day and Mrs. Baum- gartner's birthday. Mr. Shunk also had a birthday on this day but the news didn't leak out until Tuesday morning. MASQUERADE PARTY IS HUGE SUCCESS The freshmen frolicked at a cos- tume party in the ball room of the Commercial Club on Friday, 25th of January. The evening's enter- tainment began with some informal dancing, after which a grand march was held during which the judges, Dr. McMullen, Miss Nourse, and Mr. Stuber, judged the costumes. The prizes for the most attractive woman went to a man, Dean For- ney, who had the judges fooled into believing that he was a flapper. The funniest woman also was a man, Mr. Dean. Mildred Ephland and Sigurd Selden were judged the most comical couple, and Irene Bez- deck exhibited the most original dance. Jean Maxon appeared in the most original costume while the funniest man was Loretta Wad- dell, and the most attractive man was Bob Pepper. A track meet was the next event on the evening's pro- gram and numerous prizes were won. Sam Panos, as master of cer- emonies, introduced the special nov- elty numbers consisting of a piano duet by Bill Bowen and Philip Nel- son, a vocal duet by Helen Har- mond and Virginia Butler and a \Mother and Goldilocks\ skit by John Daly , and Philip Foss. Dancing provided the remainder of the entertainment with music by the first year orchestra consisting of Jean Carrol, Sam Panos, Mar- garet Heslep, Philip Nelson, and Omvald Arestad. Candy bars were served as refreshments. The chairmen for the entertain- ment were as follows: costumes, Ann Gerharz; track meet, Omvald Arestad; specialty numbers, Helen Harmond; music, Philip Nelson and Bill Bowen; and refreshments, Lois Sharp. SKETCH CLUB MEMBERS HAVE PLEASANT PARTY The Sketch Club reports very in- teresting meetings which have been held every Saturday afternoon this quarter at the Washington build- ing. One meeting was postponed during the sub - zero weather be- cause of frozen pipes. On January 19 the following offi- cers were elected for this year: Lester Ristow, President; Pearl Anderson, Vice President; Victor Swanson, Treasurer; Irene Gille, Annual Representative. The members have enthusiastic- ally taken up clay modeling and the results have been exceptionally good. Sigurd Selden's \an-i-mule\ has been the object of much fun to say nothing of Sig's frantic efforts to defend his masterpiece. The cold weather has produced alarmingly enormous appetites on the part of the regular members. Gallons o f coffee and dozens of de- licious doughnuts have been fur- nished by Miss Roberts and Mr. Manion in an effort to save them- selves from the ravenous horde. A VERY FULL WASTE BASKET Miss Meek tells of a theme hand- ed to her by a member of the Ad- vanced Comp class. Miss Meek (in Advanced Comp class) : \Why in this set of papers I had one theme so bad that it had to be rewritten before it could be thrown into the waste basket.\ STEVENSON ENTERTAINS Miss Stevenson was hostess to the C division of the First Year class on February 3, when she pre- sided at a tea at her home in the Kendis Apartments.

Student News Misses Juanita Byrd and Ruby Roberts spent the week end at their homes in Edgar.

Loretta Waddell reports that she took her Girl Scout troop on a hike last Thursday along the rims and around the Normal School site.

S. for the last four quar- ters, plans to enter again for the spring quarter. She has been con- fined to her home the past two months because of eye trouble. COUNCIL VOTES INCREASED FUNDS In the first years of E. M. N. S., The Rimrock, the school annual, was financed by sale among the students at $2.00 a copy augmented by paid advertisements. In 1933 the student council voted to finance the major part of the cost from the student activity fund. As a result of this plan students that attend school for three regular quarters receive their annual free. Students going two quarters pay 50 cents, and those attending only one quar- ter pay $1.00. The main burden is taken from the student activity fund. This year, because of increased printing costs, the student council voted to appropriate from the ac- tivity fund an extra 50 cents for each annual. Thus about $750 will be taken from the activity fund, and the remainder will be met by advertising and sale among alumni and students who have attended less than three quarters. The An- ent council is to be highly com- mended for their action in vot'ng increased funds for the support of so worthy an activity. Freshmen Elect First year class officers, elected at their recent first year party, are as follows: President, Phil Nelson of Worden; Vice President, Anne Helder of Billings; Secretary-Treas- urer, Bob Pepper of Billings. Lois Webster of Livingston was elected to the Student Council in place of Virginia Dennis, Miles City, who resigned.

This year they got a chubby little blond girl whose name is Shir- ley. \But said Mr. Foote, \we call her our Christmas baby!\ They had to return her after Christmas, but somehow they man- age to borrow her every week or so. She is the little girl the Footes had at the luncheon. Marea Hodges entertained sev- eral friends at her home, 416 North 32nd Street, Friday evening, Febru- ary 1st.
