6 THE RIMROCK ECHO News Notes of the Alumni BRANCATO HEARD HERE Students of E. M. N. S. had an opportunity to hear Rosemarie Brancato, 22-year-old soprano, Mon- day evening, February 18, at the Babcock theater. She was assisted by Victoria Franzen at the piano. Miss Brancato is hailed as a second Galli-Curci. The program was divided into six parts. Five parts consisted of songs by Miss Brancato and the sixth part was a group of piano selec- tions by Miss Franzen. Aria from \Rigoletto by Verdi, from the opera 'Rigoletto,\ in which Miss Brancato starred, was the out- standing soprano number. Miss Franzen played \Suite Berg- anasque\ by Debussy and the \Fire Dance\ by De Fella. RIMROCK STAFF VISITS GAZETTE On the evenings of March 5, the Advanced Composition class, under the chaperonage of Miss Meek, vis- ited the Billings Gazette and saw the morning edition of the paper run through the press. The students watched with inter- est the uncanny teletype machines which receive news over the wire and type it off at the rate of from forty to sixty words per minute. An operator demonstrated how the linotype machine worked. A student would request a certain phrase to be set up in type, the operator touched the keys and pres- to! a little metal plate came sliding out of the slot bearing the request- ed phrase. One of the most interesting pro- cesses which the class witnessed was the making of the metal cyl- inders from which the paper is printed. Downstairs, the students watched the huge machine print and fold the paper at the rate of 150 per minute. Upon leaving, each was given a copy of the paper as a souvenir, After watching the dispatch with which it was produced, the class decided that putting out a Rimrock Echo wasn't such an achievement after all. 4 Coeds Frolic (Continued from Page 1) During the evening Mandy and Black Sam\ danced a cake walk.
