Pine Crest Inn on Roosevelt Highway THE RIMROCK ECHO Page Three Three Faculty Members Make Whirlwind Trip Dr. McMullen, accompanied by Miss Terrell and Mr. Ridgely, left Billings at 6:15 Tuesday morning, April 20, on a trip to Bozeman. It was indeed a whirlwind trip, for be- tween 6:15 a. m. when they left Billings, and 5:45 p. m., when they rolled home in time for dinner, they had traveled 310 miles and had given four programs. Dr. McMullen gave a brief talk and Miss Terrell and Mr. Ridgely presented musical numbers on the violin and the flute at 10 a. in. in the Gallatin County High School in Bozeman of which Jesse Ragsdale is principal. They repeated the pro- gram at the Emerson Grade School at Bozeman at 11 a. m. and again at the Rotary Club luncheon at noon. In the afternoon they motored back to Livingston and at 3 p. m. gave a concert at the Park County High School, of which C. V. Brown is principal. The subject of Dr. McMullen's talk was Higher Education, in which he stressed the fact that we have such fine opportunities for under- graduate work in our Montana schools that going out of the state for training is unnecessary. His talk was especially vital to the graduat- ing high school seniors. The musical program was com- posed of the following violin solos by Mr. Ridgely with Miss Terrell at the piano. The Sun of the Puzsta- Keler-Bela; Country Dance — Carl Maria von Weber; Gavot—Handel; Waltz—John Field; Waltz No. 2— Carl Maria von Weber. Miss Terrell presented the follow- ing flute solos with Mr. Ridgely at the piano: Andalouse—Pessord; Medita- tion—Bach-Gounod; Salut D'Amour —Elgar. Together Mr. Ridgely and Miss Terrell presented the allegro move- ment of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 24 for violin and piano. 4 MR. FOOTE VISITS SON IN LEWISTOWN Professor and Mrs. L. R. Foote were called to Lewistown March 20 by the illness of their son, Leon C. Foote, teacher at Denton, who was operated on for appendicitis at the St. Josephs' Hospital. During his absence his wife, Mrs. L. C. Foote, has been substituting for him in the public school system at Denton. Miss Marjorie Foote, Home Economics teacher in the Missoula County High School, came home to Billings April 10th to enjoy a week's vacation, but this she spent in Lewistown with her brother and friends. Mr. Hawkes Addresses Groups Professor Hawkes continues to be in great demand as a speaker at Woman's Clubs. He spoke before the McKinley P. T. A. Tuesday, April 20, on the \Spanish Situation and the Lesson It Teaches.\ On April 4th he addressed the high school group of the Baptist Young Peoples Union, using as his subject \Practical Christianity.\ Professor L. R. Foote gave a speech on \Democracy and Education\ at Bridger Friday, April 16, as the cli- max of observance of Public School Week in Montana. Mrs. Hawkes Goes To Pine Crest Inn Mrs. J. L. Hawkes, wife of Pro- fessor Hawkes of the E. M. S. N. S., left for Pennsylvania on April 27, to take charge of a tourist camp, Pine Crest Inn, owned by Miss Nourse and located on the Roosevelt Highway a short distance from New York City. At the close of the spring quarter Miss Nourse will take a short vaca- tion before going to the camp. Miss Nourse not only realizes a financial value from the camp but makes a hobby of it as well. An excellent description of the camp was given in an eastern news- paper by an enthusiastic camp guest. Following is a part of the article: \You may hop into the family motor after work any afternoon and drive over to the Pine Crest Inn Cabins, and there for a dollar per capita you may procure for the night a cabin de luxe, a view par excel- lence, and escape from phones, neighbors, home cooking and mo- notony. By de luxe we mean the cabins are roomy, spotlessly clean, contain private lavatories and com- fortable, warm-blanketed beds. By MR. ABBOTT TO GIVE COMMENCEMENT TALKS The last week of May will bring busy days to Mr. Abbott of the So- cial Science department, for he has accepted four invitations to deliver commencement addresses to high school graduating classes. On May 20, he will address the graduating class at Ekalaka; on May 21, at Broadus; on May 26, at Co- hagen; and on May 21 at Jordan. MR. FOOTE ADDRESSES STILLWATER TEACHERS Mr. L. R. Foote made the main address before the Stillwater County Elementary Teacher's Association held at the Evangelistic Church in Reed Point Saturday, April 10. His subject was \A Democratic School System.\ This association is com- posed mainly of E. M. S. N. S. grad- uates. The primary grade rhythm band under the direction of Miss Deeny furnished the entertainment for the visiting teachers. view we mean that Pine Creek flows at the foot of towering wooded mountains, that one may sit on the cottage porch and watch the mist play ghostly tag in the forest. By escape from home cooking we mean that thoroughly fine food is served at the Inn on a screened-in porch that hangs miraculously within the branches of a pine tree.\ The camp has accommodations for 40 guests, and is in great demand during the summer months. Mud Conquers Dewey Even Miss Dewey's unconquerable spirit flagged on Wednesday night, April 22, when she tried to fight mud and rain on the slippery hog back road en route to Broadview to judge an all school declamatory con- test. She was accompanied by Vivian Smith, Bonita Everett and Edna Cooke, who were going along to secure some tips on judging a con- test, as a supplement to the course in Interpretation which they took last quarter. When the car finally slithered about in the mud and turned its headlights toward home, Miss Dewey decided to apply to her Ford the early day policy of \letting the horse pick its way.\ They returned to Billings about 8 p. m. Faculty, Students Entertain At Ballantine P. T. A. At the March meeting of the Bal- lantine P. T. A. Miss Dewey and Mr. Foote, with the aid of a group of students, gave a very entertaining program. Mr. Foote talked on \Fear and Its Control,\ and Miss Dewey introduced the musical program, consisting of a vocal duet, \Wings of Song\—Mendelssohn by Edna Cook and Franklyn Williams; and a piano solo, \Malaquene\ — Lacuona, by Ralph Loomis. After the program refreshments were served and an enjoyable visit was spent with the people of the community. The teachers at Ballantine are Carl Shogren, June '33, principal; Irene Pierce, June '35; Flavia Han- sen, June '34; and Mrs. Zulla Elton. Miss Freda Colwell, who was graduated in March '37, was a visitor in Billings from April 16 to April 20. She is now teaching a school at Dryhead, Montana. MISS BROWN CONDUCTS HEALTH EDUCATION CLASS Miss Maude Brown, State Director of Health Education, who is con- ducting a class in our school, re- ports her class of 30 in Health Edu- cation is part of a national move- ment to improve the health of the nation through the medium of the schools. These courses are sponsored by the Federal Children's Bureau under the State Board of Health. Any state which wishes to receive federal funds must select one county for a demonstration center. Yellowstone county received this distinction in Montana. The purpose of \Health Education\ is to promote cooperation between the school children, the teachers, and the medical profession in the inter- est of the children's health. Before coming to E. M. S. N. S. Miss Brown taught the same kind of course at the State Normal College in Dillon. Miss Brown also conducts a class each Saturday at Montana State College at Bozeman in addi- tion to working regularly with the elementary schools in the county. During summer school Miss Brown will teach at the State University at Missoula. But beginning next fall she expects to devote all her time to health education in the elemen- tary schools of the state. MR. STUBER DELEGATE TO KIWANIS MEETING Mr. Stuber, our busy registrar and vice president of the local Kiwanis Club, is to be a delegate at the In- ternational Kiwanis Club Conven- tion, which is to be held this year at Indianapolis, Indiana, from June 20 to 24. Mr. Stuber plans to mix business with pleasure. He will stop to visit his relatives in Illinois and also spend some time with his wife's relatives at Crookston, Minn. Mrs. Stuber will, of course, accompany him on the trip, which will last the greater part of two weeks. Mr. Stu- ber is one of the two delegates sent from Billings. One of the attractions of the convention will be a demon- stration of some of the racing cars of the world famous Indianapolis speedway. Miss Nourse to Judge Music Miss Nourse has been asked to be a judge for a music contest to be given in Golden Valley county in May. The contest will be between the rural and town schools. BASE LINE SCHOOL HAS EXHIBIT WEEK Professor L. R. Foote talked on \The New School,\ at the Base Line School Wednesday, March 31. The occasion was open house or School Exhibit Week for the purpose of showing many of the things the pupils were doing under the super- vision of Mrs. Dorothy McNally, June '33, and Miss Kathleen Mc- Grath, June '33. The exhibit would have done credit to any city or county school. The program was very entertaining. Every pupil in that large district was represented by one or both parents.
