THE RIMROCK ECHO Eaflern Montana Normal School — VOL. 6 BILLINGS, MONTANA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1935 NO. 5 GRADUATES AND BILLINGS TEACHERS GUESTS OF FACULTY Bjorgum Will Stage Athletic Vaudeville in Gymnasium Friday Night FEATURE TUMBLERS Friday night, March 15, in the gym there will be an exhibition of the work of the classes of Mr. Bjor- gum. One feature of the program will be a basketball game played be- tween first and second year boys. First year team is composed of Bill Chase, Dean Forney, Jimmy Han- son. Val Matross, Bob Zepp, Carl Johnson, and Charles Perkins. The second year players are: Clyde Car- rington, Curtis Hughes, Vic Swan- son, Virgil Dowell, Hilton Utter- back, and Dulane Fulton. The men's tumbling class, com- posed of Glenn Livingston, Phil Matross, Walter Gilbert, and Vance Bronson will put on some tumbling acts that will make you hold your breath. Lavern Babcock and Rose Myron will fight a duel to prove that the gentler sex can wield swords. Paul Johnson pitted against Ira Beeler ,and Dulane Fulton against Andy Hofmeister will furnish thrills enough to make the onlookers be- lieve that they are in a German university witnessing a \duel of honor.\ COEDS FROLIC AT NOVELTY PROM The coeds had a party! One looking in through the windows of the Commercial Club, however, would never have guessed it to be a coed party. In fact, there seemed to be more men present than wom- en. The reason for the apparent fallacy was the fact that many of the coeds came dressed as men. They made a very handsome and realistic group of males, too. In the whole group, there was only one real man present, and that man was Sweeney, the handsome cop with brass buttons 'n every- thing. Among the pseudo-males we found Miss Meek looking very much like Napoleon, as she directed commit- tees. Miss Stevenson was mistaken for that handsome villain, \The Man on the Flying Trapeze\—much to her disgust. Jessie Steele led the orchestra in swallow-tailed coat. Leah Rowan dashed hither and yon as a Western Union Telegraph messenger. Arvilla Terrill came as the handsome Percival Willingham. Calamity Jane\ was there, too. Ask Mary Vaughan if Calamity Jane ever smoked a pipe. The evening's entertainment con- sisted of dancing for those who danced, and games of Ping - pong and Peggotty for others. Refresh- ments were served in the later part of the evening. (Continued on Page 6) Secrecy Enshrouds Plan for Luncheon A veil of mystery hovers around the luncheon of March 20 sponsored by M.r Foote and members of March graduating class. The reporter from the Rimrook Echo staff has been unable to discover whether it is to be an extemporaneous program, whether there will be the custom- ary eats, or whether there will even be a luncheon. The graduating class, Marie Egan, Erret Moyer, Margaret Hunter, Ruth Kock, Des- sa Reed, Walter Gilbert, Dorothy Lucas, Eugenia Wise, and Sybil Christiani, do promise us this: \Something unusual will occur on March 20.\ OPEN BIDS FOR NEW BUILDING APRIL 8 Dr. McMullen recently announced that April 8 has been tentatively selected as the date for the opening of bids for the construction of the $250,000 Eastern Montana Normal School. It was hoped to open pro- posals by March 15, but the later date was decided on because of other lettings scheduled for the March meeting of the board. The contract will be awarded un- der the supervision of D, A. Mc- Kinnon of Helena, state P. W. A. engineer, and the building will be financed by public works money. Dr. McMullen said the time lost in letting contracts would be uti- lized for a re-check of specifica- tions to make certain that the four- story administration building and the detached gymnasium can e built and furnished within the $250,000 available for the job. Plans call for 22 classrooms, sev- eral laboratories, a museum, a cafe- teria, and administration offices in the principal building. Construction will be concrete, steel and brick. The gymnasium will be a frame structure and will be built for use as an auditorium and theater, as well as a field house. School Dance Tonight An all-school dance, honoring the March graduates, will be held at the Coliseum, Wednesday evening, March 13 from 9 to 12. The dance is being sponsored by the Student Council.

Mr. Shunk Is HI; Miss Johnston Takes Work Mr. Shunk has been unable to con- duct his classes for the last three weeks because of illness. Miss Har- riet Johnston took charge of his biology classes and Dr. McMullen his chemistry class. On Saturday, February 16, while with a group of faculty members at Miss , Meek's cabin, Mr. Shunk suf- fered an acute heart aLlack. He was immediately taken to the hos- pital at Red Lodge. He was able to return to Billings on Wednes- day, February 20, but has been con- fined to his home since that time. He returned to work for two days last week, but suffered a relapse. He will be unable to take charge of his classes the remainder of the quarter, but it is expected that he will be back on the job when the spring quarter begins.
