Program Dr. McMullen, Mr. Hoheisel and Mr. Stuber went to Laurel on Mon- day evening, February 28, where they appeared on the P. T. A. pro- gram celebrating Founder's day. Visual education was the main subject of the program. Dr. Mc- Mullen, Mr. Stuber and Mr. Hoheisel showed the use of film slides. They also demonstrated the use of mount- ed pictures, flowers, rock collection, and microscopic slides. Mr. Stuber presented the sound moving picture on safety. After the program, group singing took place. Mr. Hoheisel, a new- comer in the state, was well re- ceived and invited back at a later date. Mr. Foote Speaks at Clubs Besides being the chairman of the Children's Welfare committee of the Kiwanis club, Mr. Foote has been kept quite busy during February filling speaking engagements. On February 10 he spoke at the Billings Lions club; February 13 at the Bap- tist church; and February 14 at the Billings adult W. P. A. school. Dr. Hines was a guest of the Laurel Rotary club last Wednesday, February 25, where as main speaker he gave an informal talk on \Telep- athy.\ Mr. Hawkes will speak at the Worden high school Monday eve- ning, March 14, before the ,Huntley Project branch of the M.

President Crane had been at- tending a radio conference at Boze- man, at which he gave the principal address. He is chairman of the na- tional committee on Radio in Edu- cation. Dr. McMullen and Mrs. McMullen were speakers at a series of meet- ings at Big Timber, February 15. Dr. McMullen addressed a Lions club meeting Tuesday noon, spoke at a high school meeting in the aft- ernoon, and addressed a community gathering Tuesday night. Mrs. McMullen spoke on \Con- temporary Woman Poets\ at a meet- ing of the Big Timber Women's club in the afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. Mc- Mullen returned to Billings Wednes- day. Death of Father Calls Mr. Hoheisel to Michigan On February 15, Mr. Hoheisel was called to his home in Norway, Mich- igan, by the sudden death of his father, John Hoheisel. Mr. Hoheisel was 79 years of age and his death resulted from heart complications. Members of the faculty and stu- dent their sympathy to Mr. Hoheisel. Mr. Hoheisel reports that the weather conditions in the east have by no means been exaggerated by the papers. He encountered a great deal of cold weather and snowdrifts. During his absence Mr. Bjorgum and students cooperated in carrying on his classes. Mr. Hoheisel returned on February 22. MR. ABBOTT SHOWS PICTURES On February 23, Mr. Abbott ran the \George Washington Bi-Centen- nial Film\ for the benefit of the men's club of the Presbyterian church in Billings.

After an hour and forty minutes of more or less drowsy listening to the lecture, the class was galvanized into attention by Miss Meek's calm announcement—\That is all for to- day except that you will find some food in the journalism room.\ It took several seconds for the class to realize what she meant, but the smell of hot coffee confirmed the announcement. The very informal lunch of sand- wiches, potato chips, pickles, candy and coffee was served in a jiffy and the students sat about the room, some completely forgetting three o'clock engagements. One of the boys suggested a Wednesday class every week, but when a practical girl parried with \All right, it's your turn next\ the idea died in the horn- ing. W. A. A. DANCE A WINNER The dance after the game with the Polytechnic, Monday, February 14, sponsored by the W. A. A., turned out to be one of the most successful of the school term. There was an exceptionally fine crowd and the student body is to be commended on its good conduct. Several faculty members of the Poly and many of the Poly students were present. SKETCHERS SPONSOR LUNCH An all-school luncheon was spon- sored by the Sketch club in the gymnasium Wednesday, February 2 in honor of groundhog's day. The entire program, including the menu, the color scheme, and the perform- ance, was unique and enjoyed by all. The program consisted of an en- lightening speech about the ground- hog by Mr. Manion, a shadow pan- tomime entitled \Spring—To Be Or Not To Be,\ and a hog-calling con- test put on by several students and faculty members who were called to the stage without previous warn- ing. The winners of the contest were Mr. Hoheisel, first prize, a string of link sausage, Dr. McMullen, second prize, a penny bank in the shape of a pig; and Mr. Hawkes, third prize, the story of the \Three Little Pigs.\ MISS ROBERTS TREATS After spending the afternoon of February 12 sketching, the members of the Sketch club were treated by Miss Roberts to a dinner at the air- port. Needless to say, all did justice to the delicious home cooked food which was served in family style. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Manion, Pearl Baird, Margrette Hau- gen, Delphine Wise, Helen Toothaker, Mary Hill, Margaret Chase, Bill Chase, and Vic Thompson. Trees Set Along East Drive During the last several days the W. P. A. workers have set a row of American elms on each side of the road leading from the east end of the building to Twenty-seventh street. These trees, which are about 12 feet tall, were transplanted from the nursery on the southwest corner of the campus. Such projects as this and others, such as the planting of grasses and shrubbery which will be done later in the spring, will contribute greatly to the appearance of the school. SOCIAL COMMITTEE MEETS A meeting of the general social committee, composed of faculty spon- sors and officers of the various or- ganizations was held Wednesday evening, March 9. At that time Dr. Hines presented the tentative sched- ule for the spring quarter, and dis- cussion and revision followed. The program will be ready for release during the first week of the new quarter. Miss Rich's niece, Betty Rich, who attends the Byers school in Denver, recently had a poem published in the school literary magazine. The poem is a fine example of what a child of 13 can do in creative writ- ing if properly encouraged. SERVICE CLUB HAS PARTY Saturday night, March 5, the Serv- ice club held a party for its members in Mr. Dean's room. The boys fur- nished the entertainment and the girls furnished the eats. The evening was spent dancing with Mildred Woodruff at the piano. After the dance, supper was served in the basement. Advance Enrollment Begun Registration for the spring quar- ter should be completed before the end of the quarter, because the reg- ular schedule of classes will be fol- lowed on Monday, March 21. First year students are being reg- istered today. The women will fill out their registration cards in the physical education classes, and the men in Mr. Stuber's office. The C division will register in conference classes today. Second year students are expected to enroll during vacant periods next week in the office of the president or the registrar. 4- Report of Federal Work In E.M.S.N.S. Requested The Eastern Montana State Nor- mal school has been asked to submit a report which will be an appraisal of the work done for our school by the federal agencies. It will be a part of a report which President Roosevelt has asked each city, county and any other sub-division to sub- mit. The interest is in finding out what has been done by the federal agen- cies and the sentiment of the public regarding public work versus dole. Mr. Stuber is a member of the county committee and Mr. Bjorgum of the city committee. STUDENTS LEAD GIRL RESERVE The Girl Reserves, sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., is claiming some E. M. S. N. S. girls as leaders of groups. Gladys Torgrimson and Hal- lie Rickman are in charge of a group of eighth grade girls from the Jef- ferson, which meets Monday at 4 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. Gladys Essman's group of seventh graders from the Garfield meets Thursday afternoons at 4. Katoyas Elect Officers; Initiate Nine Girls Katoya Players held their regular meeting February 15, at 7:30 p. m. in the Green room at the normal school. At this meeting nine new mem- bers took the pledge. The new members were Frances Wagner, Mary Kiosse, Rachel Bovee, Helen Balich, Nancy Fitzgerald, Annabelle Peterson, Majel and Maxine Stromme. Miss Dewey was unable to attend because of illness. Election of officers for the coming quarter was held. Those elected were president, Annabelle Peterson; vice president, Mary Maxon; secre- tary, Nelle Yvette Pickard, and treasurer, Lola Richard reelected. Plans for the future meeting were discussed. TONY SARG TO VISIT (Continued from Page 1) as knights of armor in fierce com- bat. One of the main attractions is \Greedy George,\ a clever invention of Mr. Sarg. \Greedy George\ really eats and drinks. The third part will be a demonstration of Lightning Sketches during which Mr. Sarg sketches the subject suggested by the audience in cartoon fashion with incredible swiftness and humor. The last part is a short sketch acted by Tony Sarg, entitled The Cough Med- icine. Mr. Sarg, who designs his own puppets, makes them sensitive to the slightest touch. In appearance, too, they are lifelike. They have eye- lashes, eyes and mouths that are movable. His drawings are world famous, as are his designs for tex- tiles, pottery, wall paper, rugs, fur- niture and numerous other fascinat- ing articles for young and old. His books have been sold throughout the world. Mr. Hoheisel is scheduled to speak at a meeting of the Garden club on March 17. His subject will be \Re- ent Plant Studies.\ Bequette Is On Staff Of \U\ Magazine The Sluice Box, a new literary magazine of 25 mimeographed pages, appeared on the campus of the state university at Missoula on February 24. It contains examples of student work in English classes and volun- tary contributions. An introduction written by President Simmons gives the project high praise. Besides a number of excellent stories and poems there are examples of ex- pository, descriptive and philosophic writing of a high order for student work. The project was initiated by the students and there is no faculty supervision. Of especial interest to our readers is a poem by Bill Bequette, a grad- uate of E. M. S. N. S. last June. Bill will be remembered as a genial assistant-janitor, a star performer in dramatic productions, and the author of the Echo column, \Throckmorton Speaks.\ He entered the university in January and is evidently pursu- ing his interest in literature, for he is on the editorial staff of the Sluice Box. The poem which follows is a characteristic expression of Bill's opinion s. Good stuff, don't you think? WHAT NEXT? Today the tide left the beach behind And the waters joined their salty kind. Napoleon in his glory said, \God fights on the side Of the strongest battalions,\ And thot his the strongest. But that was before The bitter snows of Moscow, The humiliation of Waterloo, And the bleak despair of exile. Bismarck boasting the prowess Of his regimental goose-step Arrogantly said, \Mein and Gott.\ And subjugated the proud French, Forcing humiliation at Versailles. A decade later before the same mir- rors Equally victorious French Reversed humiliation's wheel. Tonight the tide came back to shore But morning will find it gone once more. —Bill Bequette.
