THE RIMROCK ECHO 3 Grizzlies Wallop Normal Players Displaying a smooth passing at- tack and a tight defense, the Uni- versity easily defeated the Yellow- jackets, Tuesday, January 21, by a score of 77-22. The Yellowjackets played good ball but were unable to stop the fast breaking offense of the Uni- versity. Shooting from any position on the floor and following their shots gave the University team numerous baskets. The Yellowjack- ets were unable to find the hoop and missed a goodly number of shots. Although trailing throughout the entire game, the Yellowjackets never gave up ifghting. The final score does not tell the whole story. This was the Yellowjackets' third game of the season, and their sec- ond loss. Lineup for E. M. N. S.—Zepp, Johnson, Dowell, Gonzales, and Too- hey, forwards; Elliot, Scully, Ma- tross, Roy Johnson, guards; Sirrine, McGarry, centers. Lineup for M. S. U.—Thompson, Brown, Blastic, forwards; Halm- guist, Glover, centers; Stevens, Chumrau, Mitchell, Miller, guards. INTER-CLASS GAMES SLATED Basketball and volleyball will get under way next Tuesday, January 28. There will be teams chosen from each of the divisions of the first year class and as many teams as can be organized from the sec- ond year class. Volleyball games will be played on Monday nights and basketball on Tuesday nights. On Wednesday afternoons there will be volleyball and basketball practice for girls. Men's intramural basketball games will be played on Wednesday eve- nings. All games will be played off ac- cording to the round-robin type of tournament play. SENIORS ELECT OFFICERS At a meeting held on January 15th, the senior class reelected its class officers: Jane Maxon, presi- dent; Bob Zepp, vice president; Mildred Ephland, secretary - treas- urer. Margaret Reeb was elected rep- resentative to the annual staff. Plans for a senior carnival were discussed. Several suggestions were made for the type of entertainment the seniors should give in return for the graduation dance sponsored by the freshmen on December 13, but no definite action was taken. FRESHMEN HOLD ELECTION Officers of the freshman class of the E. M. N. S. were elected last Wednesday after the luncheon. They were: Elton Elliott, presi- dent; Delbert Sirrine, vice presi- dent; Hope Rockwell, secretary and treasurer. All three students are from Billings. Esther Rud was chosen as annual staff representative. Ella Gilbert is the latest victim of scarlet fever. She is quarantined at her rooming place, 321 North 31st Street. Posture Class Large Thirty-five students have enrolled in Miss Stevenson's posture class. They have two aims to accomplish, namely: (1) To improve their own posture; (2) To obtain an idea of how to teach posture to future stu- dents. To accomplish these aims the students are doing various exer- cises and learning to relax. They have made shadow graphs of their habitual standing position, and graphs showing the correct stand- ing position. At the end of the quarter, they intend to make sim- ilar graphs, in the hope that there will be a decided improvement over the first graphs made. Even in the fencing class the masculine element of E. M. N. S. finds itself in the minority. It seems that Mr. Bjorgum needed 20 stud- ents in his class to make use of his 20 new foils. Six men and 14 women enrolled in the course. The class, so far, has learned two parries, the grand salute, and the proper stance in attacking an opponent. The students are anxious- ly awaiting the time when they can display their skill. Perhaps Miss Dewey will arrange to present the play Hamlet in order to utilize their talent for the duel between Laertes and Hamlet. The Psychological Testing class has a record enrollment. There are 39 members, who are testing in seven different elementary schools. There is an increased interest in this testing among the graduates, for they are trying it in their schools. Frequently they send in papers to Dr. Hines for scoring. Dr. Hines is responsible for plan- ning the directory in the central hall and for the office and class- room signs which have been placed in the doors this week. Mr. Manion did the lettering on the signs. Faculty Members Speak Miss Stevenson gave a talk to the Stillwater County Teacher's Association at Absarokee, Satur- day, January 18, on \Pasture and Its Relation to Health.\ Miss Meek will speak next Mon- day afternoon before the Shake- speare division of the Billings Wom- an's 'Club. The subject is American Humorists. Miss Olive Roberts from Indian- apolis visited with her sister, Miss Hermine Roberts, during the Christ- mas vacation. Dr. Hines says his idea of zero in occupations is a stage-door John- nie waiting at our stage entrance for a chorus girl to come out. AND SOIHE KNITS Mr. Shunk claims he spent his vacation knitting his daughter a suit, and trying to eat a fruit cake baked by Bob Pepper. Mr. Shunk is very much inter- ested in his new advanced geology course. He states that he has the best room in the building, and when asked if he had made a speech lately, he replied that he makes speeches every day. Squad Sponsors Feed at Luncheon An all-school luncheon was held on Wednesday, January 15, in the west end of the basement, under the sponsorship of the basketball team and the Physical Education department. Roy Johnson was chairman of the Decoration and Set-up Commit- tee. Other members of the commit- tee were Bob Zepp, Bus Elliot, Carl Johnson, Bob 'Pepper, Sam Panos, and Delbert Sirrine. The kitchen work, serving, and clean-up work was done by the \A\ division of the first year class. Rube Orchestra Scores The program which followed the luncheon was an especially inter- esting and entertaining one. The \Rube\ Orchestra, consisting of Phil Nelson, Bill Nelson, John Daly, Omvall Arestad, played four num- bers which proved very popular with the students. Letha Mead sang two vocal solos, Bill Nelson played two selections on the accordion, which was followed by a violin trio composed of Bob Zepp, Omvall Ar- estad and Alice Enevoldsen, accom- panied by Phil Nelson on the piano. Miss Enevoldsen also entertained earlier in the program with a tap dance. Dr. Brooks Speaks After a few remarks by Dr. Mc- Mullen, Mr. Bjorgum then intro- duced Dr. Wendell Brooks, presi- dent of the Polytechnic, who gave a very entertaining and instructive speech, which concluded the pro- gram. Katoya Will Present Play Anne Helder, president of the Katoya Club, reports that election of officers was held at the meeting of officers will be held on Friday, January 31. Miss Helder also announced that a committee composed of Eleanor Scott and Myrtle Stockfisch is in charge of selecting a three-act play to be presented this quarter. SKETCHERS USE CHARCOAL The Sketch Club held the first meeting of the winter quarter, Sat- urday, January 18, in Mr. Manion's room. At this meeting, members of the club did a bit of charcoal sketching of the various casts found in the room. The election of new officers was postponed until the meeting to be held January 25. Irene Andrews was elected representative to the Rimrock Annual. An informal lunch- on was held at the close of the ses- sion with Mrs. Manion and Mr. and Mrs. Dean Aldrich as guests. Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich are both gradu- ates of June, 1932, Mrs. Aldrich formerly being Ruth Jahrig. Last quarter the Sketch Club did charcoal sketches of still life fig- ures. They also sponsored the pro- gram for the first luncheon in the new building. Officers during the fall quarter were: Sigurd Selden, president; Alice Wrobetz, vice president; and Luis Gonzales, secretary. The Sketch Club is under the su- pervision of Mr. Manion and Miss Roberts.

HERE'S A SWELL IDEA Does anybody want a brand new idea concerning birthdays? To my notion here's a grand one. On Dr. Hines' last birthday he instituted the novel plan of giving a present to each member of the family instead of receiving presents himself. They all liked the idea very much. Who wouldn't? Of course they are to do likewise on their birthdays.
