THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 President's Corner , r - v-v-mr ■-■■■■•■■r■ - v - Ire-v - ■■■••■rv - Ir AUTUMN MEDITATIONS The so - called melancholy days are here. Vegetable growth has ceased but animal growth, including human growth, goes on. We, who live in Montana, should be espe- cially happy over our opportunities for growth. The crisp fall and win- ter days of this region make outdoor exercise and consequent physical growth exhilarating, delightful and profitable. Particularly, however, I want to point out that the long winter eve- nings that are coming should be used for mental growth. All of us \do not, or have not, realized the great opportunity for reading that winter presents. I am constantly amazed at lack of reading in the lives of the people of our commu- nities. Education comes from real ex- perience or from vicarious experi- ence. Real experience is expensive and it is limited for most of us. But we may all be rich in vicarious experience. A nickel magazine will take us to Africa. In books we may relive the intellectual experiences of the wise men and women of history, and we may experience the emotions of the great characters of fiction. I do not know any greater good that would come to our students than the realization that \reading makes a full man.\ A teacher may be full of methods, but unless he is also full of culture his preparation for his job is not complete. FOOTE TAKES LONGEST TRIP TRAVEL 6,600 MILES Mr. and Mrs. Foote took the long- est trip they have ever taken, trav- eling 6600 miles in all. They visited their daughter Margaret at Dillon. Miss Foote is teaching in the Home Economics department, which was planned by Mr. Foote, and held in the building also planned by Mr. Foote. At Glasgow they visited Mr. and Mrs. Don Foote and Baby Le Roy. Don Foote is teaching in the Junior High School there. They visited Mr. and Mrs. Leon Foote at Denton, where Mr. Foote is beginning his fifth year as coach at the Denton High School. On this extended trip they visited Mr. Foote's brother and family at San Diego, California, and saw them leave on the steamship Tatsuta Maru from Long Beach Harbor for Japan. They had dinner with them on board boat at San Francisco. From there they went north to Portland, where they saw the gov- ernment dam being built at Bonne- ville near Portland. Later they spent a day at Fort Peck dam. In comparison with the dam at Bonne- ville, Fort Peck is much larger. American Education Week, No- vember 11-17, will exploit the theme \The School and Democracy.\ A psychologist now announces that the average human intelli- gence is that of a seventeen-year- old. In that case it know's every- thing and then some. Miss Rich spent her vacation in Massachusetts, New York, Maine and Wisconsin. High spots of her trip were a visit to Radio City, a view of New York from top of the Empire State Building, and a swim in the Atlantic Ocean twice a day. Miss Meek spent the greater share of her vacation entertaining out-of-state guests at her cabin on the Cooke City road. About ten days weer spent visiting in Aber- deen, South Dakota, where she formery taught in the Northern State Teacher's College. Miss Terrell spent all of her va- cation in Billings. She made sev- eral short trips out of town visiting some of her many friends. ABBOTT CHECKS HISTORICAL LOCATION Part of his vacation Mr. Abbott spent in visiting C. C. C. camps and work projects with Mr. Walt Derrick, supervisor of the Custer National Forest. For two days Mr. Abbott attend- ed the rodeo and celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the town of Ekalaka. In September he made a 1600 mile trip through the eastern part of Montana to check up on some historical locations. In Minot, North Dakota he visited some of his relatives and spent one day in Fort Peck observing the work going on there. The rest of the summer and in between times Mr. Abbott cultivat- ed his garden. This was part of his vacation, also, since gardening is his immediate interest and hobby. Oscar Bjorgum admits that he frittered away the summer at such sports as hunting, fishing, swim- ming, riding and, last but not least, devising fiendish stunts to put the various P. E. classes through. It is rumored that he concentrated the last activity on the tumbling class. DR. McMULLEN ADDRESSES GREELEY GRADUATING CLASS --- August 17th, Dr. L. B. McMullen had the unique privilege of address- ing the graduating class of the Satte Teachers College at Greeley, Colorado, and at the same time conferring a degree upon his daugh- ter, Kathryn McMullen Johnson. After the commencement exer- cises forty former E. M. N. S. stud- ents, who had been attending Gree- ley during the summer, held a luncheon in his honor. On the same day, his daughter Kathryn was married to Richard A. Williams, construction engineer for Chicago Bridge and Iron Works. On the first of September, they went to their home at 2215 Pine- view Ave., Upper Darby, Pennsyl- vania. It might be interesting to know if Adolf Hitler has kept up his pay- ments on his paper hanger's union card, in case he needs to go back to work. Sawdust is the dandruff from a block-head. Dr. Hines and son Richard drove to Minnesota from where they took the train to Chicago. They were gone for about two weeks. Later Dr. Hines and family spent several days in a cabin at East Rosebud Lake. Mr. Stuber's summer vacation was short-lived. He and Mrs. Stuber took a trip in April, during which they visited Mr. Stuber's family in Illinois and Mrs. Stuber's in Minne- sota. The rest of the summer he worked at the Normal School. DEAN, RIDGELY AND HAWKES FISH Mr. Dean spent his vacation at home, for variation, going on fish- ing and week-end trips. During the Fourth of July recess he attended the M. E. A. convention at Denver, Colorado. On September 28, Mr. Dean ad- dressed the opening meeting of the Midland Empire Rural Teacher's Association with a talk on \Rural Teacher's Problems.\ This club is composed primarily of former stud- ents and graduates of Eastern Mon- tana Normal School. Mr. Ridgely reports a very quiet vacation spent in fishing and camp- ing in the mountains southwest of Denver, Colorado. He says he didn't do anything against the law or if so he didn't get caught at it. How- ever, Mr. Ridgely didn't \sage brush\ all the time. His attention was equally divided between the bright lights of Denver, Yellow- stone National Park and the moun- tains in Colorado. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkes spent sev- eral weeks camping and fishing in a \fisherman's heaven,\ in the mountains southwest of Denver, Colorado, this summer. They re- port very good fishing, and they enjoyed a very quiet vacation. Miss Ruth Nourse spent part of her vacation in New York in the Adirondacks, and the remainder of the time doing heavy duty at her tourist camp, Pine Creek Inn, lo- cated amid the Allegheny Moun- tains in Pennsylvania. It is on the Roosevelt Highway. ROBERTS STUDIES ART --- Miss Roberts has much of inter- est to report regarding her vaca- tion. She studied in Elizabethtown, New York, with Wayman Adams, portrait painter, and with George Miller, New York lithographer. Trips were taken to the art gal- leries and many other places of interest in New York City; to Lake Placid and the top of White Face Mountain, over the new memorial highway dedicated recently by Pres- ident Roosevelt; to Ausable Chasm, in the Adirondacks; and to the home of Rockwell Kent. En route home, several days were spent in the galleries and handi- craft shops in Montreal and Toron- to; at Niagara Falls; and in Chicago at the Art Institute, and visiting relatives and friends. STEVENSON SEES ALASKA Miss Marjorie Stevenson spent her vacation going to school at the University of Washington in Se- attle. In connection with her course she took a ten-day trip to Alaska under the guidance of a special teacher. On Saturday, October 12, Miss Stevenson spoke before the Ameri- can Association University Women on \What the Woman of Moderate Means May See and Buy in Alas- ka.\ She exhibited many interesting curios. +- Mr. Shunk reports that he spent most of the summer convalescing and reading Socrates and Plato. However, he also made a grass col- lection. Mr. and Mrs. Manion spent the first part of their vacation in vari- ous places over this state. Later they went to Indiana in their new Hudson car. MISS RICH CHOSEN PRESIDENT OF A. A. U. W. Miss Pauline Rich is the new president of the local branch of American Association of University Women. The branch holds luncheon meetings once a month. The other faculty members who belong to the organization are Miss Dewey, Miss Meek, Miss Roberts and Miss Nourse. DEWEY ATTENDS P. E. 0. - AT PARK During the vacation period Miss Dewey had a very severe attack of domesticity. She redecorated her house, canned, pickled, preserved and did housework. She attended the meeting of the Supreme chapter of the P. E. 0. at ell owstone Park. There were some 1700 delegates there from all parts of the United States, from Canada and the Philippines. From Yellowstone Park Miss Dewey went into Teton National Park where she did some photog- raphy work. She reports that she got some wonderful pictures. NEW MEMBERS ADDED TO MUSIC GROUP Miss Arvilla Terrell, a local grad- uate of E. M. N. S. in June, 1935, has been added to the faculty of this school as piano instructor. Miss Terrell has taught piano in Billings for seven years and part- time in E. M. N. S. for the past four quarters. Preparation for her work has in- cluded training under Mr. Rauh for eight years, Mr. Stojowski one sum- mer, and Kate Dell Marden, of Portland, Oregon. Miss Terrell is a member of the State Music Teacher's Association and the Local Music Teacher's As- sociation. Looking over the year's record, the office philosopher says it's al- most as hard to keep bad men in jail as it is to keep good men down. Don't forget that you are a part of all the people who can't be fooled all of the time. FACULTY VACATIONS LEAD AFAR
