THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 Katoyas Urge Pledges For Stage Equipment There is only one Billings stage, that of the Fox Theater, which will surpass the one planned for the new Normal School building. Under the able leadership of Miss Dewey the Katoya Players have been work- ing and will continue to work to raise a sum of money for stage equipment. During the fall quarter letters were sent out by the Katoya Players to former members asking them to pledge money for the stage equipment of the new building. A letter is now being sent out, re- minding those who have signed that their pledges are now due and extending an invitation to those who have not signed to do so. The time has been extended to Decem- ber 1, 1935 as the building has not yet been started. This will also allow March, June, and August graduates of 1935 the privilege of contributing to the fund when they become salaried teachers. The pledge is as follows: Date 193 I promise to pay $ not later than December 1, 1935, to Ka- toya Players Stage Fund. Signed Puppets at Poly During chapel period at the Bil- lings Polytechnic on Thursday, February 21, a puppet show was staged by the members of E. M. N. S. dramatic art class.

Those who operated the puppets were: Misses Eva Hasley, Loretta Waddell, Florence Boyd, Helen Hoven, Lois Sanderson, Jean Germeraad, Marie Leis, Audrey Edmonds, and Beulah Christoph. C-1'S VISIT SCHOOLS Wednesday morning, March 6, the C-1 group of observers under Mr. Foote visited several rural schools. The group divided itself into four sections, each of which visited two rural schools. The schools visited were Canyon Creek, Pine Hill, Central, Independent, Pioneer, Emerson and East Haw- thorne. Every teacher visited with the exception of one is a graduate of the Eastern Montana Normal School. Visiting the rural schools is a custom followed in the spring quar- ter by Mr. Foote's classes but be- cause rural schools will have com- pleted their school year by the time the C groups start observing in May, it was thought advisable to do it at this time.

It in- cludes two all-school luncheons, a clean-up day and picnic, two all- school dances, an all-school carni- val, one all-school assembly, and the Barrere Trio of the Community Concert series. Traditional functions, inherited from other spring quarters, are the faculty - senior dinner, the junior prom, the senior sermon, the art exhibit, the spring festival, the President's reception for graduates, the glee club concert, the senior play, and commencement, followed by the alumni luncheon. Each event is to be sponsored by designated faculty members who will select their respective commit- tees. As yet, the program is in tentative outline, pending further action by the social committee and the student council. It is planned to have, on the average, one gen- eral activity every two weeks. During the winter quarter activ- ities tickets have been punched for each activity. Dr. Hines, chairman of the faculty social committee, is to make a study of attendance upon all activities, in order that the com- mittee may be guided in selecting the type of activity attracting the largest number of students. Other members of the social committee are: Miss Meek, Miss Roberts, Mr. Stuber and Mr. Bjorgum.
