The dance showed fine organization and cooperation; it was also evident that the committee had put forth a great deal of effort in decorating the hall. The students, who worked on the formal, should feel that their endeavor was worth while, in that the dance had such a fine ap peal to all the stndents at W.M.C.E KNOW YOUR COLLEGE • Letters to the Editor D ear Editor: Too little credit has been given to our J. V. basketball squad; I think it is due tim e th a t we let coach Carl Davis and his boys know th a t we appreciate the tim e and energy they have spent. One of the outstanding players, and high point m an on the squad, is Aleksich. Such old reliables as Estes, M attix, Conners, Callaghan, and B e n n e tt never fail to play the brand of ball th a t thrills all the fans. Fine spirit, team w o rk, and sportsm a n ship have been displayed asked to go to Form o sa; speaking of Formosa, a recruiter ¡recently had 13 nam es on a list as availables for a trip to that country. There aren’t many places in this w o rld w h e re a man can obtain a free haircut. As for entertainm e n t the boys have it: archery and darts, poker and canas ta, w a ter fights and perm a n e n t ink duels, plus flame throw ing fights with lighter fluid. To sum this article up, one state m ent m akes it complete. Every night is New Y ear’s Eve in the m e n ’s dorm . Sincerely, it is the only place in the w o rld w h e re a person m ay leave his room for a little chat of three hours and on returning find his dresser on the by all the new c o m ers to the squad: , , , . , ■ , t ,, „ . „ , Tjr j . bed, his shoes in a sink full of w ater, Jam e s, O Dell, Kusumoto, K n apton his w a stepaper basket aflame, and still be able to force a smile because of that outstanding Am erican trait, “The sense of hum o r.” Sweeney, and Disney. The boys have had a successful season, losing only two games, one to B u tte and one to the Beavers. They have only two schedued games WINTER QUARTER to play: F e b ruary 22, Ennis, and CADET TEACHERS F e b r u a r y 24, W h itehall; both of these gam es w ill be played away from home. To coach Davis and all the boys— well done! Yours sincerely, SEUM A S GALLAGHER. THE RED BLOODED AMERICAN (College boys dorm—a typical dorm throughout the nation.)

In the seventh grade, Miles W inship, Robert Johnson, and PART I W hat do you know about your college? Are you fam iliar w ith w h a t it has to offer? Here is a brief sum m ary containing the his tory and assets of WMCE. M ontana State Norm al School was created in 1893 by an act of the state legislature. The first classes were held in 1897, and there were then two classrooms and five teachers. There w ere eighty-tw o students reg istered the first y e a r; the first gradu ating class of our college consisted of only three women who were granted a diploma at the com p le tion of the one year Professional course then offered. The only a v a il able decorations for this first com m encem ent were blue flag and yel low banners and the hall was filled to capacity. In 1903 the nam e of this college was changed to M ontana State Norm al College. It had been called M o ntana State Norm al School; and in 1949 it received its present title W estern M ontana College of Education. Our yearbook, The Chinook, made its first appearance in 1906. Since then it has been published every year until 1944 w h en World W ar II m ade it impossible for th a t year and also 1945 and 46. The first is sue of the college paper, the Monta- nomal, was published in 1923; the nam e of M ontanomal was replaced this year by the nam e Wescolite. The first intercollegiate football game was played on the local field against the Bobkittens from Boze man; the Bulldogs wrere defeated by a score of 19-0 after an exciting game. The first baseball team was organized in the spring of 1931; they too w ere defeated in their first game which was played against H el ena. Their first w in was over the Dillon Tom Cats. The girls enrolled in this College have also taken an interest in sports, and have partici pated enthusiastically in basketball, baseball, soccer, and tennis.

P a rt I appears in this issue. “Know Your College” will be continued in succeeding papers.) Friends of Dorothy Blake Wil liams, WMCE graduate, 1923, have recently received a copy of her pub lication, “Intim a tions of Life in a Parsonage,” which was just released. Mrs. W illiams now resides in Terre Haute, Indiana. TO THE STUDENTS AT BOZEMAN— Representing the students at Western Montana College of Edu cation, we extend our sincere sympathy to the students of Mon tana State in the loss of seven of their classmates. STUDENT COUNCIL (Signed) Don Ellsworth, Pres. learned that the cadet teachers are becoming “real” teachers under the fine constructive guidance of the seven critic instructors. • /I&iadd Ute Gatnfiui. With L. B. (Contributed this week by a cam pus coed who—while not being able to walk any too w ell—does a good job of writing. Many, many thanks.) I reckon I’m sticking my neck out by proclaim ing that spring is here in the first days of February, but spring isn’t a quarter of the days in the year. Spring is how people act. I have noted how m any have been captured by the urge to head for the hills. But m o re indicative yet is the young m an whose fancy is already so soon being more closely concentrated on the feline creature of his choice. By George, spring at WMCE is a sight to gladden the hearts of all us gorgeous youths and frustrate the souls of our guardians, and deans. F irst of all we are m ighty pleased to see Darlene C a r keet and Seum as G allagher getting set for a fine spring season of lawn sitting. Our campus, being blest w ith m o re autos this spring, is al ready getting on wheels with that greatest of “Com bos”—heading for the hills and m a k ing a little mad love too. I was pleased to see Vallie and B u rt w ith Bernice and Dave as among the first patrons of this fine sport. And finally, to clinch my point—look w h a t has happened to M aurice Bostwick! Don’t you agree spring is here? PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY • GEO. L. ROUTLEDGE, M. I). Physician and Surgeon Telephone Block Office Phone 22 Residence Phone 352 • DR. W. J.
