4 THE RIMROCK ECHO Meets Death On Laurel Road On August 12, just three days after graduation from E. M. N. S., James Hanson of Forest Grove met his death in an auto accident on the Laurel road. With George Sanderson, June '32, he was en route to Billings to at- tend the Midland Empire Fair. John Pope, a farmer, drove through the highway stop sign directly in front of Hanson's car, causing a collision which rolled Hanson's car over and over into the ditch. Hanson's skull was fractured, and he died two hours later in a Billings hospital. Sanderson escaped with a few scratches. Member of Hoop Squad James Hanson transferred his college credits here from Concordia College, Moorehead, Minnesota, last January. In addition to working his way through school he main- tained a good scholastic record and earned a letter in basketball. He was well liked by all who knew him, and his many friends join in expressing deep sympathy to his family. On October 15, John Pope plead- ed guilty to the charge of man- slaughter in connection with the accident. He was given a ten-year suspended sentence and it was re- suspended sentence and his driver's license was suspended permanently. JEWEL BIRCH INJURED Early Monday morning, Septem- ber 30, as they were returning to Billings from Miles City, Jewel Birch, Carl Johnson and Roy Jonn- son were crowded into the ditch about a mile east of Worden. An oil truck was parked almost in the middle of the road, a car was coin- ing from the opposite direction, and the Johnson car was forced into the ditch and overturned. A passing motorist took the party to Worden, where they sent a wreck- er after the car and obtained a ride to Billings. Miss Birch, who was a member of the August '35 class and is now teaching at the Hogan school near Red Lodge, was in the Deacon- ess Hospital for two days suffering from a brain concussion, broken nose and shock. She has now re- sumed her teaching. The Johnson boys escaped unhurt save for a few bruises. STUDENT BRIDE HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT On their wedding trip from Great Falls to Kalispell, the Reverend M. A. Cookson and his bride, the form- er Miss Emogene Howard, student of Eastern Montana Normal School, suffered cuts and bruises Sunday evening when the car in which they were riding went off the highway near Nyak, 14 miles east of Belton. The automobile overturned several times and lodged against a tree. Had it not struck the tree the car might have plunged to the bottom of a canyon. Mr. and Mrs. Cookson were taken to the CCC camp at Belton, where they were given first aid by the camp physician, then taken to Kal- ispell in an ambulance.

S. belongs to an athletic conference composed of the smaller colleges of the state, namely: Bil- lings Polytechnic, School of Mines at Butte, State Normal at Dillon, Northern Montana College at Havre, Intermountain Union, and Carrol College at Helena. This last named school, after having had no athlet- ics for two years, joined the confer- ence this fall. Ten Games Scheduled The schedule is as follows: Date Opponent Place Jan. 11—Polytechnic Polytechnic Jan. 31—School of Mines Here Feb. 1 — Carroll College Here Feb. 8—Dillon Normal Here Feb. 10—Havre Havre Feb. 11—Carroll College Helena Feb. 12—Intermountain Helena Feb. 14—School of Mines Butte Feb. 12—Intermountain Here Feb. 29—Polytechnic Here There is also a possibility that we will play the State University team here. Ray Stevens, who grad- uated from E. M. N. S. in June, 1933, is now on the \U\ squad. STUDENT WINS PRIZE Miss Jeanne Harrington, we learn, changed her profession from teach- ing to that of a cow-girl rider this summer and made the rounds of several rodeos in southeastern Mon- tana. Proving her prowess as a rider as well as a teacher she proudly car- ried off second prize for her cow- girl costume at the Ashland Jubilee. Miss Adelphia Koliha returned recently from Nebraska, where she has been visiting this past summer with relatives and friends, to re- sume her studies at E. M. N. S. Emma Rudio and Emma Kostoryz spent the week-end of October 19 and 20 at their homes in Huntley. Kleinhesselink Now in Juilliard School Miss Pauline Kleinhesselink, June '35, is attending the Juilliard School of Music in New York City, where she is being trained as a coloratura soprano. Cornelius Van Vliet, the famous cellist, advised Miss Klein- hesselink to turn from the cello, which she plays very well, to voice work, after hearing her sing when he was in Billings last spring. She would have been able to secure a scholarship through recommenda- tions from Mr. Clavadetscher, Mrs. Owens, her voice teacher, and Miss Nourse, except that a prerequisite was knowledge of two foreign lan- guages. She is bringing up that deficiency. Miss Kleinhesselink has secured a position as an office clerk in a publishing house in order to help defray the tuition, but she hopes that the scholarship will be granted later. M. E. A. LOCAL MEETS Twenty-seven second year stud- ents signed up for membership in the student local of the Montana Education Association at the first meeting of the organization held on October 16 in Mr. Abbott's room. Officers elected were Val Ma- tross, president; Phillip Nelson, vice-president; Dorothy Kottas, sec- retary-treasurer. It was decided that the regular meetings will be held at 7:30 p. m. the first Tuesday of every month. The next meeting will be held No- vember 5. Committees At Work The president appointed a com- mittee to carry on a drive to secure additional members. Those appoint- ed were Helen Harmond, chairman, Myrtle Stockfisch, Hazel Lavell, Lois Webster and Doris Dexter. All second year students are el- igible and are urged to join. The special student membership fee is one dollar, which entitles the mem- ber to the subscription to the \Montana Education\ and all other privileges of the association, in- cluding placement services. Last year this local was one of the largest in the state, with the exception of the locals of the larger towns. The membership last year totalled 68. Emogene Howard Weds Clerovman News of the marriage of Emo- gene Howard of Billings, a second year student, to the Reverend M. A. C000kson, of Great Falls, on Fri- day, October 11, came as a surprise to students and faculty members. The young couple were married Friday, October 18 in Great Falls, where they were attending a young people's church conference. Both were well known here. The Rev. Mr. Cookson was Episcopal missionary in this district for a year and a half, serving the pulpits of Roundup, Joliet, Bridger, and Red Lodge. About one month ago he accepted the pulpit at Kalispell. USE OF LOANED GYMS A THING OF PAST After the first of December, our basketball squad will have a regu- lation size basketball floor to prac- tice on. Heretofore, the team has nracticed on a small floor and had to play all home games in either the High School or the Polytechnic gymnasium. The unfamiliar floor put them at a decided disadvantage as far as shooting and judging dis- tance goes. After we move, games will be played on our own floor, where all the practice has been held. In the early part of November captains and teams will be selected for men's intramural basketball. In these teams Coach Bjorgum hopes to find good material for the first team. Blanche McKinney spent the week-end of October 12-13 at her home in Pompeys Pillar.
