4 THE RIMROCKfECHO Rimrock Staff at Work The work on the Rimrock, school annual, is further advanced than in any previous year. Contracts for the publishing of the annual have been let to the Great Falls Engrav- ing Company and the Gazette Print- ing Company. Work on the Rim- rock, annual publication, has never been so well under way at this time as at present. Work on the senior. pages has been finished, and the pictures have been sent to the engravers. The , Rimrock is being published this year under the handicap of in- creased prices, but the staff in- tends to put out a better annual at the same price to students as be- fore. Annuals are free to those who have attended three quarters, 50 cents to those who have attend- ed two quarters, and 75 cents to those with one quarter to their credit. The Student Life section is still open, and more pictures are needed. Turn in all your snapshots to Irene Pierce, or to one of the faculty ad- visers. WOOD ADDRESSES P.-T. A. Dr. Ben Wood, noted educator of Columbia University, visited Bil- lings during the week of February 15. He spoke to the joint P.-T. A. of the city on Friday, Founders Day, and Monday spoke before the High School. He was here in behalf of a test- ing plan of vocational tests which are to be given to the Billings school students. The Billings school system is one of the eight in the country to be chosen for this test- ing work. Carnegie Institute is financing the tests which are put out by Columbia University. They are designed to help the students decide what vocations they should pursue, and it is hoped that they will prove helpful to students in planning their future career. BJORGUM COMMENTS ON SPORTSMANSHIP You are probably wondering what Coach Bjorgum thinks of this year's basketball team and how it com- pares to teams he has had before in E. M. N. S. Mr. Bjorgum says, \They are the best bunch of sports I've ever had. They never let down once in spite of the fact that they never had a victory.\ He says that the boys accepted their handicaps and went at it with a grin. Never once did they whine. Coach MacAuliffe of the Butte School of Mines said he'd rather come up against any other team in the tournament three times than meet Coach Bjorgum's team once, because they were fighting to the end. All in all the team went out and did their best and accepted their defeat like troopers and their coach was glad to work with them. M. S. C.
