RACHAEL BOVEE ATTENDS GIRL SCOUT CONFERENCE Rachel Bovee of Great Falls, and a member of the second year class, attended the Girl Scout camp at Salt Lake during the last three weeks of August. In order to qual- ify she had to be a first class scout, had earned a Pioneer badge, had other camping experience and had to have three recommendations, in- cluding one from the college she was attending. Almost every state was repre- sented. She met girls from many eastern colleges, such as Northwest- ern, Duke, and Wellesly. For the benefit of the girls from the east the camp featured a \back to nature\ program in true western style with local color furnished by real cow- boys. Mrs. Hoover was at the camp. Rachael had previously met Mrs. Hoover, having introduced her to the city of Great Falls in behalf of the Girl Scouts. Mrs. Hoover was very informal in manner, and the girls spent many happy hours in her tent listening as she sat on the floor and told them of her experiences at the White House. The camp program also included talks by professors from Brigham Young college and the University of Utah. Camp life was complete with horseback riding, canoeing, swim- ming, hiking, mountain climbing and campfire meetings. Six girls will give a demonstration in eurythmics before the music sec- tion of the Montana Education as- sociation in connection with Miss Nourse's talk on the subject Friday, October 28. The girls who will par- ticipate are Lois Crandall, Myers; Eleanor Kennedy, Billings; Susan Knapp, Billings; Annabelle Peterson, Billings; Dorothy Schock, Billings; Frances Wagner, Reed Point. An afternoon party before an open fireplace was given by Peg Johnson and Jane Logue at their apartment on North Thirtieth street, Sunday, October 16. Those present were Doris Buchanan, Hazel Reukauf and Nellie Ruth Miller. Ray Woodard, student at Montana State college, was a dinner guest of Betty Cooper, Tuesday evening, Oc- tober 11. Helen Hagerman gave a small get-together party Saturday, Octo- ber 15 at her home on North Thirty- second street. The guests were Maxine Ruppel, Ada Duell, Vivian Hall, Betty Christiansen and Jean Tyson. Louise Johnson, Lambert, and Lois Wods, Wibaux, were among those who accompanied Rev. R. E. Price, pastor of Church of the Naz- arenes, Thursday evening, October 20, to Bull\ Mountain, where Rev. Price held services. At the \House of Suiter\ Satur- day night, October 15, Adair John- son and Lillian Eldridge entertained Barbara Johnson, Isabel Kiedroski, and Chloe Jones, serving them a delicious dinner. Margaret Croake of Miles City visited her sister, Katherine Croake, at her apartment on North Thirty- first street during the week end of October 22-23. Elizabeth Fiske of Three Forks was a dinner guest of Mary Foy Shadduck, Friday night, October 21 at her rooms on North Thirty-first. Madge Petre and Helen Essington spent the week end of October 22-23 at Bozeman visiting Phyllis Gore, who is a student at Montana State college. Miss Nola Peterson of Absarokee visited her sister, Katherine Peter- son, October 13. Marcia Beyer of Whitetail was an over-night guest of Peggy and Don- aldine Johnson of Billings the first of October. Jane Logue Entertains Jane Logue entertained Hazel Reukauf, Nellie Reukauf, Nadine Weber, Norma Knowles, Shirley Branson, Peg Johnson, Doris Bu- chaman, and Ruth Miller Monday evening at her home, 804 North Thirtieth. The evening was spent playing cards, after which lunch was served. Teams Organized for Six Man Football There will be four six-man foot- ball teams playing on our new ath- letic field this fall, according to Coach Bjorgum. Since there is no college competition in this game the program is being arranged as an intramural activity. The first year class will be repre- sented by three teams which are made up of students from the fresh- man physical education classes. They will do their practicing on Tuesdays and Fridays. The upperclassmen, with whom football is optional, will put one team on the field and prac- tice on Mondays and Thursdays. Most of the games will be played on Wednesday afternoons with some of them probably on Tuesday and Friday. The schedule will probably get under way within the next week. Students are urged to be present to offer encouragement to the teams. ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVED The large sandstone wall on the south side of our athletic field is being built up again. The W. P. A. workers are pouring concrete and packing the ground behind the wall in an effort to keep the wall from crumbling down as it did last spring, when blocks were put in place with- out any concrete reinforcements. New bleachers have been built to provide clean seating space for the fans that watch the athletic contests held on the field. Wooden planks will be bolted on to the cement steps. The bleachers have a seating capacity of 850 people and another section has been started that will double this amount. First Years Report News The Echo staff is indebted to vol- unteer reporters from the sections of the freshman class. The following students have assisted in the work: Edna Halverson, Billings, for the Al; Selma Johnson, Poison; Gladys John- son, Glendive, and Ila McClain, Ba- ker, for the A-2. Dolores Jones, Turner, for the B-1; Dot Wylie and Peggy Jean Bent, Billings, for B-2; Sigfrid Helgeland, Pryor, and Emilie May Nadler, Billings, for C-1; Mar- cia Beyer, Whitetail, for C-2. Mr. Hoheisel states that there is \a horse of a different color\ in the science department this quarter. Two skeletons have been added to the laboratory collection, a horse and a cow, but the horse is the outstanding addition. Its remains have been painted a bright yellow color and trimmed in black. Eighteen students have begun the fall work in intelligence testing un- der the direction of Dr. Hines. Two students are assigned to each of the following schools: EMSNS Kinder- garten, private kindergarten of Miss Kiichli, first grade of Fratt, Roose- velt, McKinley, Broadwater, Gar- field, Taft, and Orchard. Only kin- dergarten and first grade children will be tested during the fall. Students Go Home For Week End Visits Many students have taken advan- tage of the fair weather of the past week-ends to return to their homes and tell the family and friends \all about it.\ Helen Trask of Ballantine, Marie Morton of Lodge Grass, Ila Mae Mattson of Absarokee, and Mary Etta Whitmyer of Park City visited their homes the week-end of Oc- tober 8-9. Among those who returned to their homes the week-end of Oc- tober 15-16 were: Vivian Norris, who visited her home at Joliet, Myrtle McCannon to Huntley, Bessie Hughes to Boyd, Clara Leis to Laurel, Mary Lou Van Camp to Fromberg, Betty June Worst to Lavina, Nora Bar- nard to Sarpy, Mabel Holley and Marion Knutson to Lodge Grass, John Ball to Myers, Martha Ann Howland to Roberts, and Shirley Barnett to Powell, Wyoming. Mr. and Mrs. Hoheisel, Dr. and Mrs. Cooper and Miss Dewey were dinner guests of Miss Meek and Mrs. Matheson at Miss Meek's cabin on the Cooke City road. Prexy Takes Motor Trip Two vacations were taken by Dr. McMullen this summer. In August, accompanied by Mrs .McMullen, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hoefert, his son-in- law and daughter, their two chil- dren, his grandson Murray Williams of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Miss Hen- rietta Hoefert of Fromberg, Mon- tana, he went to Rosebud lake, where he spent four days. On September 2, Dr. and Mrs. McMullen, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Lou Chapple, left for a ten-day western trip, in which they traveled over 2600 miles. Their travels took them many places, mainly to Port- land, Oregon, Olympia and Seattle, Washington, and Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. During his two days sojourn in Canada, Dr. McMullen became so fond of the leisurely English custom of taking afternoon tea, that he is thinking seriously of serving it to the faculty members every afternoon. On the way home he visited three educational institutions, the first at Pullman, Washington, where he called on the president, Mr. Holland, whom he has known for 38 years; the second at Lewiston, Idaho; and the third, at Mosco, Idaho. HOHEISELS VISIT IN WOODS At the end of the summer term Mr. Hoheisel of the science depart- ment met Mrs. Hoheisel in Chicago, and they spent about half the sum- mer vacation in the peninsula coun- try of Michigan and half in northern Wisconsin. While in Michigan they visited their tamarack log cabin, which is situated on 80 acres of woodland in the upper peninsula. He and Mrs. Hoheisel returned to Montana by way of the Black Hills. They enjoyed visiting the gold and feldspar mines and the caves, where Mr. Hoheisel collected a number of specimens for geology. They also visited Mt. Rushmore. Mrs. Hoheisel did not accompany Mr. Hoheisel to Montana last year because she was acting as principal of the Main Street school at Lan- sing, Michigan. Upon her arrival in September, Mrs. Hoheisel is much pleased with Montana people whom she finds very friendly and under- standing. Living within easy access to the mountains is an experience she has always longed for, and she looks forward to many delightful trips to the beauty spots of the Beartooths. She is a graduate of the Northern State Normal college at Marquette, Michigan, and also attended the Michigan State Normal at East Lan- sing. ROBERTS ENJOYS VACATION Miss Roberts spent most of her six weeks' vacation in Banff, Al- berta, Canada. One of the things she did was to climb to the summit of Sulphur mountain (6 1 /2 miles by trail) to see the sunrise. \Not worth the effort\ was her comment. En route to Billings she stopped in Bozeman for a week. There she met Sally Miller, June '33, Franklyn Williams, June '37, Katherine Kier, June '30, and Ed Wright, June '36. The girls are teaching in Bozeman and Ed is enrolled in the State col- lege. Dewey Visits With Friends In September Miss Dewey took her first vacation by train since she came to Billings. She spent most of her vacation in Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She visited Mr. and Mrs. McDonough, former Bil- lings residents and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nelson. Mrs. Nelson, form- erly was Miss Huntoon, dean of girls in the Billings High School. KATOYA ORGANIZES (Continued from Page 1) At its organization meeting on Oc- tober 4, the Katoya Players re- elected Annabel Peterson, Billings, as president, and chose as other of- ficers, Rachel Bovee of Great Falls as vice president; Margaret Froi- lund, Glendive, as secretary; June Johnson, Big Timber, as treasurer. RIDGELYS TAKE TRIP TO OHIO Mr. and Mrs. Ridgely and their two children spent ten days of their seven weeks vacation fishing in Yel- lowstone park. From Yellowstone park they drove to Ohio, where they visited Mr. Ridgely's relatives. While in Ohio, Mr. Ridgely had the pleasure of visiting with Robert D. Brain, his former violin teacher. Mr. Brain has been for many years editor of the violin department of the Etude magazine. The son of Mr. Brain is known as a composer and is frequently heard over NBC broad- casts. Another celebrity with whom Mr. Ridgely enjoyed a short visit was Dr. Carl Bricken, dean of music at the University of Wisconsin. MOTES VISIT CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. Foote left Billings, Friday, August 12, to visit their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Eagle of Palo Alto, Cali- fornia. During their ten-day visit, Mr. Foote enjoyed the privilege of attending sessions of Dr. Kilpatrick's class in the philosophy of education, in the University of California at Los Angeles. They drove on to Long Beach, visited relatives there for a week and returned by way of San Francisco to Napa, California where Mr. Eagle has a teaching position in the high school. They returned to Billings in late September. During the course of their 5153 miles journey they visited Luther Burbank's gardens at Santa Rosa, and Jack London's ranch at Glen Allen, drove along the magnificent Redwood highway, drove over the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay bridges and saw the site of the San Francisco world's fair. RICH TOURS IN EAST Miss Pauline Rich, librarian, spent her vacation touring several eastern states. She visited in her home town, Barrie, Massachusetts, but was for- tunate in leaving just before the hurricane hit the little town and completely isolated it. On her return trip she passed through Denver a few days before the floods. Miss Rich said, when in- terviewed, that she \just missed all the excitement.\ Varied vacations were spent the past summer by the office force. Miss Rember spent hers out of doors at East Rosebud lake. Mr. and Mrs. Lon Cable visited in Denver and Fort Collins, Colorado. Miss Le- Claire went to Grand Forks, N.'Dak., and Winnipeg, Canada, where she visited two large department stores, the Hudson Bay and Eaton. Miss Marjorie Stevenson and her friend Miss Whipple spent a two weeks vacation at the end of the summer term motoring in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. They visited Bryce canyon and Zion canyon in Utah, the Grand canyon of Arizona and Boulder dam in Colorado. When asked her reaction to the sights she saw, Miss Stevenson said, \I'm crazy about it all; the Grand canyon was breath taking, but Bryce canyon was best.\ MR. DEAN GOES TO GREELEY Vacation time to Mr. Dean was school time, as he attended the sum- mer session.at Greeley, Colorado, to continue his work toward a Ph. D. degree. He presented a field study, \Prediction on First Grade Reading Achievement.\ After he returned to Billings, he occupied his time, beautifying his lawn and garden. He spent much of his time building an outdoor fireplace. Miss Nourse, music instructor, spent most of the summer in charge of her camp in the Allegheny moun- tains. Her ten days' vacation was spent in Washington, D. C. and New York city. She did a little sight- seeing, but most of the time was spent visiting friends. How conveniently nature has made us! Who but she would have thought to make ears for glasses to hook on to. Thursday, October 27, 1938. THE RIMROCK ECHO Page Three Faculty Members Return from Varied Summer Vacations Dr. McMullen Is Speaker At Wyoming School Meet On Thursday, October 6, Dr. Mc- Mullen went to Worland, Wyoming to attend the northwest section of the Wyoming Educational Associa- tion, where he made four addresses, \Enrichment of Rural Life\ was the first one given at the general assembly on Friday morning. The second, \Present Tendencies in So- cial Studies,\ was given before the rural teachers on Friday afternoon. At a banquet Friday evening he gave his third address, \Bob Burns Looks at Education.\ The last one, \Science and the Public School,\ was given before the general as- sembly on Saturday morning. IS CARPENTRY WORK ART? The day after the summer quarter ended, August 10, was a busy day for Mr. Manion. It marked the driv- ing of the first nail in the house which he is building on the Rimrock road. Since then, Mr. Manion, as- sisted by Mr. Bjorgum, has ham- mered and sawed industriously. A considerable boost in construc- tion was given by a \shingling bee,\ instigated by Mr. McMullen, and held on Saturday, September 24. While the men shingled, their wives prepared what Mr. Manion termed \a swell dinner.\ Those present were Dr. and Mrs. McMullen, Dr. and Mrs. Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Hoheisel, Mr. and Mrs. Stuber, Mr. and Mrs. Manion, William Chase, Robert John- son, Wayne Marcus, Lloyd Markell, and Jerome Matross. Mr. Manion has had the lights in- stalled and is now working in the evening to complete the work by the first of November, when he ex- pects to move his family in. ABBOTT RESIGNS SPONSORSHIP The responsibility for advising the second year class, which has been carried by Mr. Abbott since the be- ginning of the school in 1927 has this year been given to Mr. Hoheisel of the science department. Because he is recovering from an operation which he underwent in the summer, Mr. Abbott is unable to continue as sponsor. During the eleven years of his service Mr. Abbott has had very close contact with the graduating classes, and his advice has meant much to the thousand or more stu- dents who have worked with him in class activities. MANY FACULTY HOMES NOW ON RIMROCK ROAD The scenic Rimrock Road, which follows the foot of the rimrocks and overlooks the lovely Yellowstone valley and the mountains, may soon become known as \Faculty Row\ because of the number of faculty members who live there. For six years Dr. McMullen has lived in a home which overlooks the city from its perch high above the Rimrock road. Dr. Hines, with the help of Mr. Bjorgum and Mr. Man- ion, built his own home three sum- mers ago on the south side of the road. Mr. Dean joined the Rimrock dwellers in 1936, when he built a home just off the road facing the school campus. Mr. Manion, with the help of Mr. Bjorgum, is building his own home below that of Dr. McMullen. He began construction the first of August and plans to move into his home in November. Dr. Cooper, our new faculty mem- ber, is having his home built about one block west of Mr. Manion's new home. Mr. and Mrs. Hoheisel will move into the house to be vacated by Mr. Manion in November. It is just two doors west of the new home. All these homes are within easy walking distance of the school, and this fact may somewhat relieve the parking problem on the faculty side of the campus. MRS. SHUNK TEACHING Mrs. R. N. Shunk, widow of Pro- fessor Shunk, who was a member of the faculty from the beginning of the school until his death in 1936, is teaching home economics in the Big Timber high school this year. The children are living with her and at- tending the Big Timber school.
