v at Tsk, tsk, Miss Meek—you and your \take-offs\ on Sally Rand at annual staff meetings. All the man did was take off his gloves and then his coat, and Miss Meek wanted to know if he were doing a strip tease. (Fire on for dear old EMSNS.) Friday, March 10, 1939 THE RIMROCK ECHO Page Three First Verse Spring is here. The sap has rize. I wonder where the flowers is. Second Verse Spring is here. The flowers has rize. I wonder where my feller is. Danged if spring ain't a-comin' of it, and in spring a young man's fancy lightly turns, which is our idea of a revolution itself. But soon the little buds will be budding, the little leaves will be leafing and the little bees will be bee-ing. We can't sup- press the chambered-nautilus strain any longer, so will have to have a fling at some \sedimental\ poetry. To Ellie Joe's girl is wild and swift. My girl is slow. Joe's girl wears naught but silk. My girl wears calico. Joe's girl is bad and beautiful. My girl is sweet and good. Do you think I'd trade my girl for Joe's? Well, you would, too! (Editor's note: If that's poetry I'm a green-backed dickie-bird.) (Scoop: Well?) When's Eleanor Kennedy going to get down to Stark facts? If Jack Johnson lost his girl, would he Hunter? Does Norma Knowles it all? Does Ada have a Lease on Frosty Green? Marion Os-t-by hav- ing a girl friend soon. Too bad Slugger Matross shaved off his windbreak before that last cold snap. He up and froze his nose so he went into the boxing matches at Roundup with cauliflowered nos- trils and got knocked out with so many seconds to go. Battlin' Jim Walpole did right well by EMSNS though. He didn't win, but then as he pointed out, he didn't exactly lose either. We editors may dig and toil 'Till our finger tips are sore, But some poor fish is sure to say \I've heard that joke before,\ Clyde Roscoe Davis took our little suggestion of his over-emphasized charms so much to heart he even took up golf. But it wasn't much of a success because when he put the ball where he could see it, he couldn't hit it and when he put it where he could hit it, he couldn't see it. At eight o'clock Pa and Ma help entertain with Sis. Both Madge and Dwight in separate seats Were far apart like this. At nine o'clock Pa withdrew and followed Ma upstairs. And then we find that Dwight and Madge Wereclosetogetherlikethis. Mr. Baumgartner put over a little fastie on Jack Johnson when he went to get his picture taken for the annual. Jack told Mr. B. he wanted a small picture and Mr. B. says, \Then I'm afraid you'll have to close your mouth, Mr. Johnson.\ Reports from the first year class are to the effect that last issue's \Shots\ were too subtle for some of their lesser lights to catch. So we offer the following: Joke for Ada Duell: We hear Dale Bryson is Duel-ling at 604 North Twenty-fourth right regular. Get it, Ada Jane, or do you need a dia- gram? Ode to Mr. Stuber's Departing Hair I'd rather have fingers than toes. I'd rather have ears than a nose. And as for my hair I'm glad I've some there, But I'll be awfully sad when it goes. Notice on bulletin board: Every- one who is in the \Birthday Ball\ must be here for practice tonight at 7:30. We need one full practice be- fore we can give the play tomorrow nite, February 21. Please cooperate for the last time. I ain't afraid of roarin' lions; I ain't afraid of cats; I ain't afraid of elephants; I ain't afraid of rats; I ain't afraid of snarlin' dogs; I ain't afraid of noise; I ain't afraid of tigers, -but I am afraid of boys. (Ed.'s note: I don't know why you should be; with that face you should be perfectly safe.) (Scoop: Haven't you got a home?) Vivian Nielsen has been going around for daze and daze trying to figure out why Dr. Hines said she had forefathers. She says if she has, three of them never came home. (We hang our heads in shame on that one.) Hi, ho, Bearpaw Chase isn't the only good cuss-todian around this college. There's Butch Markell, Bunny Nose Madsen, Flip Marcus, Shadow Davis, Little Caesar Minnie, Rasputin' Johnson, Swish Swartz and Bud Sherwood Humiston, too. Since this is probably our last public appearance before going to our just reward we hunted up a few famous last words of our fellow cell-mates. \Frankenstein\ White: \I'm not happy, I just don't give a damn.\ James Rock Walpole: \Who's the most popular man in school and why am I?\ Adair Johnson (after inviting two EMSNS swains over for the same evening): \This is stupendous, but I'll never do it again.\ James Salsbury: \Salsbury Sals- bury, Salsbury and Salsbury.\ Dr. Cooper: \They shall not pass.\ Phil Fiske (after a basketball game): \Anyway I did my part.\ Oscar Smith: \I saw my Dooly and I done her.\ Stevie: \You're not in high school now.\ Rex Welton: \All intelligent peo- ple aren't conceited, because I'm not.\ HO HUM PERIOD. Joke for Helen Gertrude Hager- man: Flirt and the world flirts with you; marry and you sit at home. Better laugh, Gertie; he who laughs last is usually the dumbest. School to Sponsor Indian Cave Work Eastern Montana State Normal school, with Dr. L. B. McMullen in charge, has assumed sponsorship of excavation work on the Indian caves, southeast of Billings. The work pre- viously has been under the direction of Professor H. M. Sayre of the Montana School of Mines. The archeological laboratory, for- merly at Butte, is now in the base- ment at the normal school under the guidance of Wahle Phelan. He has eight women in WPA employ under him, scrubbing and cleaning, shellacking and labeling the articles. Part of the findings from the cave will be placed in the E.M.S.N.S. mu- seum, while the rest of them will be exhibited in a museum at the cave site. The archeological possibilities of the Indian caves, long known for the Indian picture writing on the walls, were recognized by the gov- ernment when a WPA project for excavation was approved in July, 1937. The Foster house at 1111 North Thirty-second street, where six nor- mal school girls live, is surely af- flicted with a jinx. After a session at the hospital in January, Lillian Eldridge of Camas had her appendix removed in February; Chloe Jones of Wyola slipped on an icy step of the normal school and fell, breaking her right arm. Isobel Kiedroski of Wibaux had been undergoing treat- ments at the hospital for a nervous disorder. On Tuesday, Bob Foster came down with scarlet fever, but as the girls live in a separate apart- ment they will not be quarantined. One lucky break! Other casualties in the normal school include Garry Schye of Ismay, whose right eye was injured when he was hit by a snowball which broke his glases; Clif Burnett of Sumatra, who has been hospitalized because of a badly infected hand resulting from a scratch; Catherine Croake of Miles City who has been suffering from laryngitis; Zola War- then of Ronan who has been con- fined to her room for several weeks with infection of the glands of her throat. NURSERY SCHOOL BUSY WITH SPRING CLEANING It's springtime in the nursery and house - cleaning time, too, as the \youngest generation\ in Mrs. Mary Daylis' pre-school room at the Nor- mal school begin their annual doll house cleaning. The little girls are very busy washing bedding and cur- tains, renovating furniture, and at- tending to a multitude of house- wifely duties. In spite of their house work they still find time to travel in the stream-lined Greyhound bus that they have made from heavy card- board packing boxes. They plan their own trips, buy their tickets, and make the journey to Anyplace. The pre-school room has some in- teresting activity in progress every minute, as the following schedule indicates. The period between 8:55 a. m. and 9:15 the youngsters spend their time in conversation, and the remaining time until 11:30 is given to project work and community life. Shots and Half Shots by Scoop
