Games in Billings The five students and Mr. Pope who made the trip to Billings to see the Western-Rocky Mountain bas ketball games were rewarded when Western handed Rocky Mountain two defeats to win the small college conference. Patricia Thompson, Fred Searle, Shirlee Morris, Robert Erickson, and Bill Jolly provided plenty of back ing for the home team, and they even go so far as to claim they made as much noise as the thirty or forty Rocky Mountain students present at the games. Additional support was added the second night with the presence of Harris and Knapton. A few Eastern students lent their support for Western as did some Western alumni—among whom was Alice Brekke, a student at Western last year, now teaching at Bozeman. Besides witnessing the very en joyable basketball games, the group was taken through the plant of the Neon Products Company through the courtesy of Mr. Leonard Bar- raughs. The students learned first hand just how neon signs are made (Continued on page 2) Kappa Pi Roll Increased by Three Kappa Pi, national fine arts hon orary, initiated Harriet Holzer, Bet ty McGiilivray, and Shirley Stocker last evening.

The program will precede the Tea in the residence hall, sponsored by the Women’s House Council. This recital was given before the Butte Rotary club, the Marian White Arts and Crafts club in Butte, and the Women’s club in Deer Lodge. Newspaper reports indicate how much the WMCE artists pleased their audiences. Mr. Jackson will sing three groups of songs, the first being (German compositions, written by Richard Strauss. “I have chosen Strauss’ lieder,” commented Mr. Jackson, “because I believe that he was one of our greatest contemporary com- posers. Two Italian operatic arias, “Deh vieni alla finestra’’ from Don Gio vanni by Mozart, and “Eri Tu” from Un Ballo in Maschera by Verdi will follow. Mr. Jackson will conclude his part of the program with four English numbers. At the piano, Professor McFadden will begin with a “ Sonata” by Bee thoven.

The winner of this game will be recognized as the col lege basketball champions in the state of Montana, and, as a result of this honor, will advance to the NAIB tournament in Kansas ^City, which is scheduled to begin the 12th of March and to end on the 18th of March. The Bulldogs, with a confer ence record of 14 wins and 1 loss, and a season record of 25 wins and 6 losses, will go into the game definite underdogs, but it will not be the first time the Bulldogs have risen from the depths to overpower an opponent. The Bulldogs, anxious to again rep resent Montana in the NAIB tourna ment, will be displaying their abil ity to full tilt in an effort to defeat the highly-touted Grizzlies. The Grizzlies, led by such out standing stars as Bob Cope, one of the leading scorers in the nation, Johnny Eaheart, Dick Carstenson, Jim Graham, and Ray Bauer, will be looking for an easy victory over the Bulldogs, but in this writer’s opinion, they may be sorely disap pointed. True, the Grizzlies have one of the outstanding records in the na tion, and they have a very high offensive average per game. And then again, let’s take a look at the competition the Grizzlies have met. Most of them have been no more WMCE Graduate Wins Recognition As Author Mrs. Andrew C. Caton, the former Dorothy Alice Weber, a graduate of WMCE, is a recognized author of children’s plays and a writer of magazine articles. She did her first writings, she says, in the journalism class at WMCE.

Mrs. Caton hopes to write inspira tional articles frequently because they are the hardest for her. She says plays “just seem to write them selves for me; humor takes a little longer, smoothing it out, you know, (Continued on page 2) dogs’ record isn’t to be sneezed at.

KZN was off on a hay ride, in a wagon padded with straw and pulled by a tractor. Siren! Brakes! Questions —asked by Sheriff Temple, answer ed by chaperones, Miss Mikkelsen and Mrs. Straugh. Demand of $1 bond for each of the passengers plus invitations to appear at the Sheriff’s office within 24 hours. Sorry, it turned out to be a prac tical joke. The victims then went on according to schedule, suffering from no bad effects.
