THE RIMROCK ECHO Page Three Demand for Refreshments Keeps Club Members Busy The amount of food necessary to satisfy the appetites of a huge tour- nament crowd is shown by the re- sult of the sales of candy, gum, pop and hamburgers. The Sketch Club leads the honor roll with a sale of 6072 bottles of pop. They also hold the individual selling record. Dorothy McMakin and Rose Schopp sold 555 bottles of pop. Vern Wagner, working with Marie Pederson and Shirley Lee, sold 463. Profit from this concession will be used to buy art materials for Sketch Club sessions. Katoya Players came in a close second with a record sale of 35528 bars of candy and 940 packages of gum. Money made from this con- cession will go into a stage equip- ment fund. The W. A. A. made a new record by selling 781 programs, which were all sold before Saturday. Their profit will be put into a fund for purchas- ing equipment for enlarging the program of the popular Monday night recreational hour. The M. E. A., whose project of hot hamburgers was a new one for tour- nament fans, sold well. The traffic policemen outside were their best customers throughout the tourna- ment, but Saturday evening the crowd made such a demand that, though the entire stock of hambur- gers in Billings was bought and sold before 9 o'clock, the demand was not satisfied. Six hundred eighty hamburgers were sold and the profit will go towards sending M. E. A. delegates to Butte for the Delegate Assembly. The reserved seat section was ca- pably handled by the Men's Physical Education Department, and their re- sulting profit will be used to pur- chase very much needed gym sup- plies and equipment, especially new mats. Undoubtedly the sales would have been doubled had the sellers been able to reach the crowds. Perhaps the next generation will be able to provide six-foot children and six- league boots. However, very satisfy- ing results were obtained through the untiring efforts of all concerned. THE HIGH SCHOOL \DAZE\ RECALLED AT TOURNAMENT Nothing can remind the weary, careworn second year student of his carefree high school days so much as having a High School Basketball Tournament so close at hand. You can see yourself as others have once seen you—dashing madly to and fro with nothing on your mind but mak- ing \big whoopee\; driving around in a car without a top, with an av- erage of ten to the carload; yelling at the top of your voice at the games—whether or not you know who is playing whom or what the score is. Then another characteristic of the high school \daze\ is demonstrated by the way things were put under lock and key, bulletin boards cov- ered, etc., during the tournament. They're little savages but it's fun! It was fun! When you're a few years away from all this, there are other things which seem more worth while and exciting, but no one should miss that certain kind of carefree fun that comes only once in a life time. Mumps Rob School Of Stuber's Aid The smoothly running machinery of the tournament was disrupted when Mr. Stuber, finance chairman of the tournament committee, was stricken with mumps on Monday, March 1. For a time consternation reigned, but the other members of the tournament committee immedi- ately rushed in to fill the breach. Mr. Dean, who was in charge of hotel and restaurant arrangements, gave unsparingly of his time and energy in an effort to fill the gap. Dr. McMullen, Miss Stevenson, Mr. Bjorgum, Dr. Hines, Mr. Abbott, and in fact all the members of the facul- ty and Miss LeClaire and Miss Hur- ley did everything possible to keep affairs running smoothly. The importance of the part played by Mr. Stuber in all E. M. S. N. S. activities was not realized until he was absent. It seems that he carries the oil can which keeps the multi- farious extra activities revolving without a hitch. Mr. Stuber has a very fine record of service; never before has the school had to face an important undertaking without his calm help. However, the concen- trated efforts of all the others saved the day and the tournament was a grand success from all points of view. DINNER FOR CITY TEACHERS ATTENDED BY FOUR HUNDRED The all school dinner, which was held February 20, was well attended by 400 students and the guests, the teachers, the administrative officers, and the school board of the Billings Public Schools. The dinner was very much appreciated by all present. Following the dinner the glee club, under the direction of Mr. C. V. Ridgely, made their first appearance with two songs, Deep River, and Brown Bird Singing. After this, Dean H. E. Hawkes, of the under-graduate college for men at Columbia in New York City, gave a very inspirational speech on the fundamentals of edu- cation. He pointed out that we as future teachers must know the pu- pils as individuals before we can know what to expect of them. Accompanying him was Mrs. Hawkes who is the head of the edu- cational records bureau of Columbia. After the dinner program the Yel- low Jackets and the Bulldogs of Dillon played one of the most excit- ing games ever seen in Billings. Following the game there was an all school dance, and many of the dinner guests remained to enjoy the dancing. Give Program for Club A group of music students are going to Lodge Grass with Mr. Foote to appear before the Women's Club,- tonight, March 12. Mr. Foote will speak on the subject, \Education for Leisure.\ Edna Cooke will sing a vocal solo \ 'Tis Spring o' the Year\ with Ralph Loomis accompanying her on the piano. Ralph Loomis will also play a piano solo. Both of these students have been working with Miss Nourse. Vivian Smith will give a reading, \Love Beneath the Roses\ by Myra Kelly. ENGLISH GIRL CORRESPONDS WITH ESTHER EPPERSON News from other portions of the globe always seem especially inter- esting. Esther Epperson corresponds regularly with an English girl, named Irene Thompson, who lives at 16 Hambledon View, Burnley, Lanca- shire, England. Esther got the ad- dress of this English girl through a friend who corresponds with a cou- sin living in Burnley also. Esther has been communicating with Miss Thompson and exchanging gifts for the past three years. Burnley is a cotton manufacturing town, as Irene says, \the back-bone of England.\ In a recent letter, Irene says, \In this country we have been passing through a very anxious time. The abdication of our king has made us very unhappy. I think the new king will be all right, but we much pre- ferred King Edward.\ Miss Nourse Plans for Course In Eurythmics The Eurythmic group will begin to work with Miss Nourse again in the spring quarter. Those who were members last quarter are asked to enter again next quarter. They were Joyce Loucks, Alice Enevoldsen, Pauline Cross, Clara Pust, Helen Swan, Marilyn Duell, Ruth Elgas, Geraldine Swanson and Ruth Tooth- aker. Some new students have asked to enter, but there should be more volunteers to make the class more valuable. This group will meet at least once a week, at a half hour period to be arranged. This work is entirely for enjoy- ment and for students who wish to advance in rhythm. There will be no credit given. Those who desire to join are asked to notify Miss Nourse. Miss Nourse reports that she has a fine class of 20 advanced piano students, whom she says she hopes to present in a recital during the spring quarter. These students have taken piano from two to eight years. OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS Martha Graham's father, who was a nerve specialist in Pittsburgh, al- most had his nerves smashed when he saw his darling daughter, age two, calmly rise and dance down the aisle in church while her mother's head was devoutly bowed in prayer. Martha said the music made her feel that way. Since early childhood Martha Gra- ham has been determined to become a dancer in spite of the fact that her mother repeatedly reminded her that she was the tenth direct descendant of the Pilgrim, Miles Standish. We doubt if Miles would appreciate Miss Graham's modern dance interpreta- tions, but enthusiastic audiences everywhere give her unqualified approval. MARTHA GRAHAM (Continued from Page 1) gesture, pose or evolution that oc- curs to her. It is unfortunate that this per- formance coincides with the short va- cation between terms, but the student council has decided to take advan- tage of this fine opportunity avail- able on this date only. Reserved seats on the main floor will sell for $1.10 each; those in the balcony for 83 cents. Work on Annual Goes Rapidly Forward The newly organized annual staff, doing some \rapid fire\ work, has accomplished a great deal. All the senior pictures are in and ready for mounting by the art staff and the assembling of the material which accompanies the pictures is being done by the literary staff. The cover has been chosen and also the theme which will be fol- lowed. Group pictures of organiza- tions were taken Wednesday and class groups on Thursday in room 207. The annual will be distributed June 1, about ten days before Com- mencement Day. About two-thirds of the cost of the annual is defrayed from the student activity fee, thus enabling students who have at- tended from October to June to re- ceive their annuals without further payment. Those who attended two quarters pay 50 cents, and those who have attended one quarter pay $1.00 to secure annuals. Represent- atives in both first and second year classes are making up lists of those who get the annual without an ad- ditional cost and those who pay an extra fee. STUDENT JANITORS GIVE FINE SERVICE TO SCHOOL The management of our school pride themselves ni their unique, and so far, very successful janitorial system. All the work is done by stu- dent janitors who work from 100 to 150 hours a month. All the work is supervised by the regular janitor and custodian, Bill Chase, who worked his way through school by doing student janitor work. At the present time we have four regular student janitors: Bill Be- quette in charge of the first floor, Robert Wilson on the second, and Herbert Berg on the third. Victor Thompson has charge of the audi- torium and the stage. It is gratifying to hear from students that have attended other colleges in Montana as well as out of state institutions, that our building is kept cleaner and tidier than many other places they have been. Student janitor work offers a lim- ited number of students a chance to work their way through school. The student workers must be conscien- tious, dependable and industrious. The work is not hard, but it must be done well to pass Bill Chase's inspection. It is also necessary to maintain a C average or higher in grades in order to remain a member of the janitorial force. Gallagher Heads Schools M. C. Gallagher, former principal of Billings high school and principal of the Great Falls high school for the last eight years, was elected superintendent of the Billings school system Monday night. He was chosen from a list of 42 applications, re- ceived from educators in 15 states. Mr. Gallagher will replace Mr. A. T. Peterson, who during his super- intendency during the past eight years has shown the finest kind of cooperation with our school in the training of student teachers in the school rooms of the city. By his resignation E. M. S. N. S. has lost a loyal friend.
