Gilmore Jake Dunkin Jokes ....... ,.,,, EDITORIAL The Poly appears in the spring of the year, Like the earliest blossoms, it knows not a fear, But, like them, it lends to the breezes that blow, The breath of free life from young hearts that must grow, Our appreciation can not be too strongly expressed to the public-spirited business men of Billings who have so loyally supported the Poly by their purchase of advertis- ing space. Without this liberal financial assistance the Annual in this form would have been but an empty dream. To the student body, also, we wish to give thanks for the way in which they have stood behind the endeavor. If you have been found worthy of joke, cartoon or facetious reference, congratulate yourself. Be a sport. S We offer the Poly of 1920 in the bright hope that it may be to you a treasure trove of vivid, pulsing memories of the finest year so far in the history of the dear old Polytechnic. Moments of joy, hours of inspiration, and days of development have left their images here, that you may feel again and again throughout the years, the refresh- ment, the fervor, and the power of youth's ideals, as you turn the pages of this book, your Poly Annual. Lastly, to,each and every one who has helped by clever drawing, learned writing, bright idea, or flash of wit, to make this book an adequate expression of the best year the Poly has ever known, we, the Seniors, of 1920, and our chosen staff of editors, take this opportunity of giving our heartfelt thanks. We bow to you. 8 THE POLY .

The religious instinct, usually dormant until later youth, has a significant influence upon the life- of a student, when healthfully stimulated and thoughtfully maintained. Some of the noblest im- pulses of the human soul are engendered by relig- ious inspiration. Just a week after the Polytechnic had estab- lished itself in its permanent home, ten years ago, five boys met in Mr. L. T. Eaton's private office to consider how they might make their lives count most ior good among their fellow students. A few days later ten boys met with Mr. Eaton and pledged to use their influence toward helping cther bo is to take a definite stand as Christian students. The movement spread among the girls and within a week over forty boys and girls were asking for church organization. Rev. G. J. Powell, being called upon for advice, in- formed the boys that Dr. Hubert Herring, then the General Secretary of all the Congregational Churches in America, would be in Billings on March 14, and that he would gladly help them to organize MR' MCCARROLL a student church at the Polytechnic. Thus the Polytechnic Church came into being. Cin March 14, 1910, fifty-two stu- dents and teachers joined the organization. The church life in the Polytechnic has been maintained. In February, 1916, Rev. Waltel' H- North of thi? BilliHgS C0HgF9ga'Ci0I18l Church, was asked to assume the relation of pastor 'Co the Polytechnic Church, which position he held with increasing success until war duties called him overseas last year. This year Rev. Mr. Hugh McCarroll has directed the work of the church and his endeavors to keep the spiritual standard ever higher have been earnest. Services have been conducted every Sunday throughout the year, with such able co-operation on the part of the city pastors as Rev. Ritz, McCormick, Anshutz, Burr, Cameron, Powell and Dr. North, who has been a very welcome occasional visitor. Systematic studies of the Bible have been held one period per week in each English class and much benefit has been derived from the course. Rev. McCarroll has also taught classes in political economy, sociology and ethics, which lend themselves, under skillful handling, to fortunate correlation with spiritual work. Twice during each year, once at the beginning of the fall term, on a Sabbath when the weather is favorable and once again, during commencement week, students and fac- ulty participate in what is perhaps the most impressive and inspirational of all religious services-the Rimrock Vespers. At first, assembly is held in the chapel auditorium, where Mr. L. T. Eaton explains the traditional significance of the service, and two hymns are selected. Then the proces- sion wends its way toward the Rims. After the first bridge is crossed absolute silence prevails, until, grouped in the chosen spot among the rocks, whither they have been led by Mr. L. T. Eaton and the bugler, the first hymn is reverently sung. A few words of prayer and praise by the pastor are followed by the second hymn, then silently the company descends to the bridge and conversation is again resumed. The beauty and uplifting influence of this service must be experienced to be appreci- ated, and doubtless many who felt the power of those holy moments are bound again to God-true religion. - in ,.- - Q wil . 4- '2 HA - - ' '01 In gb! I -. 51-' iffamf-' w-tfafb.-562' ' Qi: THE POLY Tl-IE POLYTECHNIC Eleven years ago two brothers, Lewis T. and Earnest T. Eaton, came to Billings. They were edu- cators of the new school, and men of vision and faith. They had in mind a great practical university that would stand with open doors to the young men and women of the great Northwest. The purpose of this school was to train its students to be not only useful citizens, but leaders in the Industrial, Commercial, Political, Religious and Social life of a great, rapidly developing empire. The school was not to be like any other school ever built before, because there never was a region in all the world like this region, and there were not in all the world young people like the sons and daughters of the Montana and Wyoming pioneers. More than this, there was never in all the ages past an age like this age. They had in mind a school where each in- dividual might receive attention and training ad.apted to his needs and inclinations, which would make him the very best and most useful citizen that it was possible for him to become. A seal was planned on which was a lighted torch, and in the background mountains and plains. Around these were arranged six words which represent the foundation princi- ples of the Institution, which for all time would shed its rays of influence over the mighty Northwest empire. At the base of the shield were the two words, Health and Skill, calling for a trained mind, and a perfect, well-controlled body-the best possible use of the God-given powers in every individual. Above these two essentials of a complete life stand Patriotism and Industry representing the part a person should play in the world if he is to perform his full service to the state and to society. At the top were the two words Religion and Culture No life is complete that does not recognize God and learn the lesson of self-forgetfulness in His service and in the service of mankind, while culture is that refinement of mind, morals and taste, which, combined with religion, makes life really worth while. With no capital, but faith, boundless enthusiasm, and determination to win, these brothers set about to make their vision come true. On every side they heard, It can't be done, but their reply was, It shall be done. From the first they had most loyal sup- port in the late John D. Losekamp, who time and time again stepped in to save the Insti- tution in its early days. W. B. George, I. D. O,Donnell, Judge Goss, P. B- Moss and other Billings citizens were always sources of great inspiration and help. No one except the Eatons can ever realize just how much these men really meant to the Polytechnic during its early days of struggle. From outside of Billings the great Empire Builder, James J. Hill, was a tower of strength, because of his splendid advice and his substantial gift of the Polytechnic Farm, without which the school could not have developed as it has. MR. L. T.

Mr. Willis E. Lougee, treasurer of the Congregational Home Missionary l Society, resigned his position to give his time to this great cause. Through a struggle unparalleled in pioneer educa- tion, the school has grown in eleven years from a forty- acre beet field to an educational institution of great importance and it now stands at the threshold of its greatest opportunity. Hundreds of young people have entered its open door, to remain for a brief period, and have gone out to take their places in the World's battles, , imbued with the spirit of the Polytechnic, trained in its l class rooms, on its farms and in its shops, inspired by contact with helpful teachers and other earnest Work- ers, made better by the Chapel exercises and talks of great religious leaders, they have gone forth to take MR' E' T' EATON their places in life faithfully and Well, Whether on the distant fields of France, where over one hundred Polytechnic boys fought for the cause of freedom and democracy, and Where eight made the supreme sacrifice, or on the mission fields of Asia, suffering untold hardships for humanity, or in the every-day life of the Northwest, performing the ordinary tasks of the home or school, or in industry, students of the Polytechnic are making good. W'ith its mighty Work to perform, its marvelous field of service, its exalted ideas of education, it has a wonderful future ahead. The next decade will see it developed into one of the greatest institutions of the country, and no one can doubt but that in a not far distant future, this institution will have a name among the great colleges of the nation which have modeled civilization, laid the foundation of empires, and changed the social order of the World. l ll II ,,zMiwq AT PRESENT THE POLY 15 FAC LTY ff A I K, 1 O is f J fi I!

ELTING BUSINESS OFFICE Handling the details and everyday routine of purchasing supplies for the running of the school, dealing with employes, and discharging the numerous minor business duties of an organization involving so many and such varied departments as those belonging to the Polytechnic is no small responsibility. Mr. Robert C. Elting, as Secretary-Treasurer and Registrar, with the assistance of G. K. Helder as bookkeeper and accountant, is in charge of this work. The previous business training and experience of these men have been on broad lines and their Work, in co-operation with the directors, must be productive of im- portant results. ' e BEE HIVE ROCK fPoly Summer Campy 18 THE POLY PRINCIPAL, WILLIAM ANDERSON The position of principal is most fortunately filled by Mr. William Anderson, whose forceful personality, strict adherence to lofty principles and generous dealings with the students have clearly made for him an enviable place in the Polytechnic World. His influence outside the school has reflected much credit upon the institution and his power is already felt in educational circles throughout the state. The administration of the Polytechnic has never felt so sure a footing, so efficient a direction, nor so sound and sensible a policy as under Mr. Anderson's guidance. The details and routine of the everyday school work, upon which depends so large a measure of the success of every institution. have been conscientiously and painstakingly worked out in masterly fashion. The office records of each student are accurately filed, the daily schedule of Work and recreation runs smoothly and naturally, and the relations of faculty and students are rendered happier and easier under the tactful articulation which Mr. Anderson's methods of administration accomplish throughout every department of the school. ' Himself an active teacher of mathematics and civics, Mr. Anderson understandingly facilitates classroom problems and gives helpful suggestions in his supervision. He has won the hearty support of the student body and the loyal co-operation of a highly intelli- gent faculty. His experience before coming to the Polytechnic, as principal of schools at Wood- stock, Virginia. Superintendent of Citv Schools at Bristol, Tenn., and as Principal of the District Agricultural and Mechanical School of Lebanon, Virginia, has combined most favorably with his natural gifts as a leader of young people, to fit him admirably to par- ticular Polytechnic needs.

From the tiny acorn groweth the mighty oak-following our precedent the four classes have now formed their own organizations. In the years to come more brilliant statesrnen, more brainy suffragettes, may reflect glory upon their Alma Mater, but never a more loyal, persistent little band, nor one more willing to face the difficulties that ever beset those who blaze the trail, will ever go out from the school with the Open Door. For we have always been first-we were the first organization to appear in public upon the beautiful stage of the Losekamp Conservatory. We were the first class to re- ceive the Polytechnic seal, and it is with a feeling of pride that we have so carefully guarded it during the past year. The Poly of 1920 is published this year for the first time by a student organization -the Seniors. VVe are first in all activities and modestly boast with pride that must be pardonable, of the four presidents and three vice presidents of the literary societies. Our leadership extends even unto the leading of chapel exercises, whereby the all-wise freshmen, the tolerant sophomores and the awe-stricken juniors are inspired with a wholesome respect for such an unusual show of intelligence. In athletics we find four members of the girls' basketball team to be seniors. Of the boys' basketball team, three members, as well as four of the football team are of the class of 1920. Of the five lieutenant governors four are Seniors. And so it has always been with us-Leaders! When days have been dark and gloomy, who but the Seniors with their fulsome vitality and pep have brightened the school life with many dances and other entertainments. Our class numbers 21, but only four are veterans of four years' standing, Broad- brooks, Kiehlbauch and Lano. with their solid qualities and athletic ability, and Leitner, with his musical talent and leadership. In 1917 two more elements of leadership in Edith Smirl and Dunkin-a nascent literary light in Carol Vickery and a social asset in Opal Shy-were added to our ranks. f Then the opening of 'eighteen reaped rich returns for the class, bringing future basket-ball fame in the Martin girls, Lola Weast, Daphne Foubert and Burks. Gaiety and mirth came tripping buoyantly along hand in hand with Dolly Terrell, Chilcott, Shorey, and McCarroll. It was not until the February of 'nineteen that the class was really organized, choos- ing our motto, colors, flower, and our advisor, Mrs. Ada H. Davies, whose steady direc- tion and helpfulness have successfully guided us through our struggles and tight places. As the juniors we ushered in the festive week of commencement by giving our class play, Punch, which won highly merited praise and well deserved glory for our class. This year school opened, bringing in nearly all the original members in a fresh surge of enthusiasm and bearing on its crest four new members-Catherine Fisher and Sacry, with their musical talents, Sullivan ,with his clear wit and scholarship, and Rhoads, with his dramatic trend. Immediately it became the vogue to be a senior. Credits long forgotten were un- earthed and eagerly presented in the hope that the bearer might bridge the gap and join the enviable band. Units were stretched to the limit-yea, some even beyond, hurling the owner far from his coveted goal.

Refrain- Refrain Oh, farewell, dear classmates, Farewell, farewell, Mountains may sever, or plains and sea. Bright be our future as time must tell, Farewell, dear friends, farewell. Our hearts, eager waiting, shall know its full When joy thrills our weary souls With memories dearer, of fellowship nearer, As onward the time waves roll, Our school days are closing their gates today, Never again shall we pass by this way. guerdon SENIORS IN THE RIMS .lf . 5. : xg .

From this unit Enthusiasm, School Spirit, and Integrity have radiated through every single branch of school activities. Be it on the athletic field or floor, in the class room or on the public platform, or among organizations and societies, the Juniors are paramount, holding, steady and fast, to the very last. The year Nineteen Twenty-one is to be a memorable one, as the Juniors are deter- mined to exert every atom of energy to carry the standard of the Polytechnic, even higher by learning to live and living to learn. . ...L .Pg- TOO MODEST TO APPEAR entire year as vice president of the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciatiori One of our number, Leslie Crouter, holds a scholarship in the school, and is a bril- liant light in the school of Electrical Engineering, and, with his co-worker and co- classmate, Teddy Young, the Village Grocer, . picked up several wireless messages that were speedily sent to the U. S. Secret Service De- partment as valuable inform- ation. The U. S. flag could not be placed in the hands of LESLIE I3 FROM THE IVIOFZMON DZSTRICTS OF WYOMING In all athletics the Juniors are there and over. Claude Ryerson, an ex-service man, was elected captain of the foot ball team, and by his wonderful assistance in coach- ing and his never-to-be-forgotten, bull-dog tenacity in playing quarterback, probably did more than any other man to bring honor to the team and school. Jack Donohue also starred as the big center on the football team and as right guard on the first basket-ball squad, George Staudt showed himself a mountain of strength as full- back on the football team and as guard on the basket- ball squadg Clyde Owens, better known as Slim, re- ceived his first knock-out in a football game, and Arthur Rankin was also prominent during the first of the football season. The Juniors were also represented in the girls' athletics. Inez Perry and Eldora Kiehlbauch played subs in the first team basketball. Eldora Kiehlbauch served the a more loyal, patriotic and noble minded s e r g e a n t bearer than in those of Les- lie Crouter, who may be seen each morn at sunrise and each eve at sunset quietlv fulfilling the most sacred duties of that office. Iva Simpson, for her musi- c'il ability, and Ruth Ehuyler, lldna Johnson and Eldora K'ehlbach for their splendid Work in elocution, deserve distinctive mention, as each have appeared many times on the public platform, both at the Poly and in Billings. l . 32 THE POLY Already preparations have been started for the Junior activities of Commencement Week. Rehearsals for the play have begun, and the first May Day Junior Prom will far outshine any other social affair of the season.

The great war fought for the freedom of the world, owes its success and speedy con- clusion largely to the business ability and general commercial status of the allied coun- tries. In these years of reconstruction and economic unrest of the great powers of the world, much will depend upon the great financial enterprise and upon each country's ability to cope with the hard conditions following the war. As a nation, we must not fail to put emphasis upon that part of the education of our young people, which will help to solve the problems of unrest and therefore hold our nation to the high relation and standing which she has always maintained toward other countries. As a nation is judged so is the individual andthe results are recorded. The grad- uate of today is asked what he can do and not how he learned the things he may know. Sympathy and sentiment are pretty much lacking in the business world. If a young man is of a parasite type depending upon his father for resource for a business enterprise, then of course it matters little whether the young man makes special preparation for his task. If a young man some time expects to hold the reins of power of some great business project and act upon his own initiative, then it follows he should make ample prepara- tion for his work. Every normal young man belongs to this latter class, when he really wakes up and takes himself in hand. The school room is largely a place of theory, where the science of business may be studied and pretty well mastered. Anyone contemplating a business career should study thoroughly the theory of business. THE POLY IVIR. KLINE So important is a special knowledge of business training for success in the business world, that in 1881 Dr. Joseph Wharton founded what is known as the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. So eager was Mr. Wharton that this school should offer a training for the young people who were going to take a business career that he stipulated in the plans for the school that it should offer facilities for an adequate education in the underly- ing principles of civic government, and also a training suitable for those who intended to engage in business or undertake the management or the handling of property. Today the VVharton School of the University of Pennsylvania stands as the leader along such educational lines. As evidence of such a need for this kind of training in our colleges and as a tribute to the splendid foresight of Mr. Wharton, we find today commercial courses in nearly all of our large universities and most of the smaller ones. This tendency of education to specialize so as to meet the demands of the individual has also found its way into the secondary school. The various vocational courses show the general trend. Not long ago the president of a large wholesale house remarked that if he had more sons to send to college, he would give them their college degree and then send them to a good commercial school, so that these sons might be thoroughly trained in the science of bookkeeping. This man realized that the training that would best serve his sons when they were really out grappling with the problems of life would be their business training. I think we often make a mistake here, we attempt to get the practical business training before we have sufficient basis, and, there- fore the judgment and appreciation which are necessary for promo- tion to the best positions in the business world. Too many young people take up business education and make a hurried preparation for a mediocre position as a means of immediate livelihood, overlook- ing the big things ahead, which are dependent, however, upon a thorough mastery of the principles of bookkeeping and accounting. Not willing to pay the price for a training which would enable them to advance to the top, they must be classed as common bookkeepers Q -. -- vi or stenographers. MISS M RTY 40 THE POLY MISS MARTY'S DEPARTMENT SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING The business world of today is calling for young men and women who are prepared to meet the demands of the business office. Not only should they be prepared to make busi- ness transactions accurately, but should they not have a knowledge of other duties of an up-to-date office, such as taking dictation and transcribing it' correctly on the typewriter? The answer is clear to every reader and this is the reason for the Shorthand and Type- writing department, so that the student who professes to be a man or woman of the world, who expects to be paid for his services, may fill the position in an office that is complete and worth while and not just one-third of his duty. In order to be successful today one must be better than the average man or womang he must seek farther than the average fellow, he must apply himself not only to his immediate studies or duties, but must reach out and grasp opportunities that are out of his own field. To be a successful stenographer, onemust not only have the attributes of the successful, but he must be efficient, must be able to use words of the Language correctly, use the correct word at the proper time and place, express himself properly, must be able to spell, know the meanings of words, and if a word is not familiar, be curious enough to know what that particular word might mean and take the road that leads to Webster's Dictionary. The Gregg system of Shorthand has won the Speed Loving Cup for the last two years, as many as 268 words a minute for five minutes having been written, with very few mis- takes. That is why that system is taught in the Institution. Its simplicity, making it so easy to learn and to teach, its speed in writing and the sureness of accuracy in transcrip- tion are the features that make Gregg shorthand so popular today. The department offers a thorough two-year course which gives the student sufficient speed and accuracy to accept the best position which can be offered. There are also shorter courses offered which, if the student is strong enough, having had sufficient Academic work, he may be able to handle nicely and be thoroughly prepared to accept a good position. The touch system of typewriting is used, which is the only safe and wise method. Results gained are speed, accuracy, and confidence. Great stress is laid on the easy, free, rhythmical touch which often decides whether or not the typist knows anything about typewriting and whether he will be allowed to return the second day, as office men of today are waiting for the rhythmic clicking of the machine rather than the fast, jerky, uncertain touch that often falls upon their ears. The Rational Typewriting Text Book is used. Underwood and Remington machines are used.

' The music department takes on a new importance, and 3 ii' ::'i 1 ii the faculty and students, alike, find inspiration in the beau- ,A1, ,?A,,:Acz tiful surroundings. Fifty per cent of the girls and a number Ilq, 4 of boys have enrolled this year and there is literally music i -1 -Z in the air, floating out through the French Windows, as one crosses the campus. The attractive practice rooms, under the supervision of Miss Bernice Baker, are occupied the greater part of the if ' i ' E day by students preparing for the various programs given in the exceptionally fine auditorium. The, standard of p P, ' these programs has been noticeably raised and many com- , riivvli, 1 pare favorably with those given in old established institu- I 1.: r tions. qyvv I r'V, The soloist for the Senior Class, Miss Katherine Fisher. i'- 1-2-f1-1 2 11- ,ccy deserves praise for her spirited interpretations. 9 NHSS BAILEY An important feature in the preparation of the pro- grams has been the Piano Club, founded in 1919, by Miss Marcia Bailey, head of the Piano Department, and established as the Losekamp Piano Club with officers and by-laws, in 1920. In summing up, much has been accomplished this year. 1. The two-year Proficiency Course has been established and next year will prob- ably see a three-year course established also. 2. The Losekamp Piano Club has been established. 3. The extension course, in the shape of a concert tour, covering 1500 miles in Montana and Wyoming, undertaken by the Conservatory faculty in July and August, re- sulted in nonresident students from Billings and Columbus paying frequent Visits to the Polytechnic for piano lessons. Moreover this effort on the part of the Losekamp faculty won recognition of value to the Institution from Mr. Alfred Human, news editor of Musical America, in an article appearing in his publication on August 2, 1920, entitled Educa- tors Blazing a Trail for Music in Rural Montana. 4. The classes have been larger and more enthusiastic than ever before. 5. The Losekamp Piano Club has been established for the purpose of spreading the knowledge and the appreciation of the Art of Music among the students, and for their mutual appreciation of each others' efforts along musical lines. It is safe to say that in a short time a diploma from the Losekamp Conservatory of Music will be a passport to the leading institutions in America. -Miss Marcia Bailey, L. R. A.

Its purpose is the propagation of the Art of Music among the students of the Losekamp Conservatory and for their mutual appreciation of other's efforts. ' The Club meets once a week for practice and once a month for social entertainment. The last named frequently takes the form of a picnic on the rimrocks to the accompani- ment of the guitar, ukelele, and all kinds of musick.

The first important appearance of the Polytechnic choral society was in the program of old Christmas carols, in pageant form, given just before Christmas. The performance took place in Prescott Commons, the picturesque Tudor building lending admirably to the scene of the Na- tivity and pageant. The hall was darkened, save for the light from a seven-branched Jewish candlestick standing at the right of the curtain scene. The choral society formed in the vestibule, costumed as maidens and shepherds of Bethlehem. and the Three Kings from the Orient. Then singing Good King Wences- las they marched into the hall and up the aisle, each carrying a lighted candle which cast a soft light all fe.. i around and made the very simple costumes look rich. First came Miss Marty as the spirit of Christmas in white robe and veil, with a holly wreath about her head. Following her were the maidens of Bethlehem in white robes and veils of different colors. Next came the shepherds, and real shepherds they were, in their rough brown tunics, carrying a crook in one hand and a candle in the other. After them came a small shepherd and a king's page, the latter in a green tunic in orange turban and sash. These preceded three kings who wore long robes and white turbans. As the procession approached the little stage on which the Nativity scene was set they formed in an open V on either side of the picture, the little shepherd and page, Hugh and Dick McCarroll, taking their places on either side of the curtain. As Holy Night was sung very softly they drew aside the curtains disclosing the picture of the Nativity beautifully posed by Miss Kiehlbauch and Mr. Rhoads. Mary in lavender robes and white veil knelt at the right of the little manger. Joseph in brown cassock and cape stood behind it in quiet dignity while a light from the manger Ca small electric bulb hid in the alfalfai cast a warm glow on both faces. Mr. Crouter's excellent management of the spotlight gave quite an unearthly look to the scene. The program was sung throughout by candle light. Oh Come All Ye Faithful in which the audience joined, ended the performance. The idea of this pageant came from the narrative of the old French carols. In the middle ages just such scenes were enacted to bring the reality of the Nativity home to the hearts of the people. It was the custom for the villagers to go in groups to the man- ger early on Christmas morning, bearing torches and carrying gifts to the mother and child. The scene itself was usually enacted by some poor family to whom these simple gifts of food and clothing were a real blessing. - MISS DRIVER At the Annual Candle Light Supper the Choral Society gave the Pilgrim's Chorus' from Thannhauser. 7 THE POLY PROGRAM OF EASTER VESPER SERVICE 1.

Thompson, whose mild and happy per- sonality has won for him not only increasing interest in the work of which he has charge, but also the hearty co-operation and admiration of his fellow teach- ers in other departments of the school, as well as in the Losekamp Conservatory. Mr. Thompson's pupils have appeared in public programs, both on the campus and in Billings, to the distinctive credit of the Polytechnic. Much real talent has been discovered, lively enthusiasm has been aroused and the standards of student musical taste have been tactfully raised by the skillful presentation and careful teaching of greater masterpieces from time to time. The musical organizations in this department have held together loyally, and in spite of the fact that a long period of time with consecutive training and ad- vanced students is necessary to develop anything like r--W , ..

The drafting department has endeavored this year to present mechanical drawing as a definite educational subject with the following objectives: To develop the power of visualization, to strength- en the constructive imagination, to train in exact- ness of thought, to teach how to read and write the language of the industries as drafting is often spoken of, and also to give modern commercial practice in making working drawings and the design of machine parts. Drafting is as essential to the modern en- gineer or mechanic as Spanish is to the merchant in the Latin countries of South America. Withoiit a knowledge of drafting, the engineer would no more be a.ble to express his ideas to the men that will do the work, or to the mechanic who must understand them, than the merchant, without a knowledge of the language of his country, would be able successfully to carry on his business. MR' CARVER It is therefore advisable for the engineer student to obtain as much knowledge of drafting as possible. There is a wide diversity of method in the teaching of drafting and less uniformity in the courses in different schools than would be found in most subjects taught in techni- cal schools. Many schools attempt to teach the subject by giving a series of plates to be copied by the students. Some discard theory and commence with a course in machine detailing and some even depend principally upon recitation and home study. Different courses should be designed for different purposes but a better unity of methods might result if more educators looked upon drawing as a real language. In the teaching of a language we first take up the simple construction of the sentence and after that composition. If drafting were taught as a language we would first take up the technic of expression, then penmanship and orthography, and after that the training of the constructive imagination, and the perspective ability which enables one to think in three dimensions, to visualize quickly and accurately and to build up a clear mental image, a requirement absolutely necessary for the designer who is to represent his thoughts on paper. With a foundation such as this the student should be able to study the higher and more difiicult branches of drawing with a clearer conception of the subject and therefore greater and better- results should be obtained. The Wood Working Department has given practical courses in elementary wood- work, cabinet work and the use and care of wood-working tools and machinery. In the Cabinet Construction Class, practical work was given in the construction of class-room benches, tables, cabinets and the repairing of the same about the different buildings on the campus. A complete equipment was built for the Drafting Department, consisting of a large drawing cabinet with an adjustable top for the instructor and individual drawing tables for each pupil. Each of the latter is equippped with six lockers, having places for the drawing boardsfinstruments, papers, pencils, etc. A large cabinet and bookcase was also built to complete the set. THE POLY MANUAL ARTS WORK IN CABINET CONSTRUCTION C S, INTERIOR OF SHOPS THE POLY NORMAL DEPAR TMEN T l CLASS IN NORMAL ARTS The educational belief of today is that our schools should be the center of social, industrial, and intellectual life, that these three great forces in education should be united in such a way that each will do its respective part in the training of our youth. The school should be so connected with life that the experience gained by a child in his home work is carried over and made use of in the school, and what the child learns in school is carried back and applied to his every day life. The failure to connect the school with the experiences of the home life occasions a great waste in education. The child has a concrete mind, interested in concrete things, and unless the school ministers to this phase of the mind, the development of the mind is retarded. It is the aim of the Normal Department of the Polytechnic Institute to so organize its courses of study that this vital connection between life and school may be emphasized. VVith this end in view, the teacher is given exercises in the sewing of simple designs, paper cutting and folding, weaving, braiding, drawing, the making of dolls' clothes and housesg concrete work with the different measures, and other exercises which make the abstract knowledge of the text book of interest to the child in the lower grade. For use in the higher grades, exercises in drawing, stenciling, designing, basketry, shop work, book binding, and textile work are required, and the study of agriculture and the improvement of rural conditions is presented in a practical way. Statistics show that a large percent of the boys and girls leave school before reach- ing the eighth grade. It is generally conceded that the reason for this is the lack of vital union between school work and outside experiences. This is especially true in the rural school, which has been modeled to fit the require- ments of the city school, regardless of the interests of country life. Many activities which would not be advisable or even possible in the city school are particularly adapted to the rural school. If the elementary school is to fulfill its high purpose of preparing the boy and girl for life, it must minister to the needs of the community in which it is located. It is believed that the country youth will look upon school work in a new light when the sub- ject matter is better adapted to his needs. The boy who can spend but a few months of each year in school will find there a new interest which will not only hold him in school but one which will broaden his in- tellectual horizon at the same time that it furnishes him the practical knowledge which he desires. As a result, life on the farm will be so enriched and broadened that it will have a greater attraction for our youth than it has had in the past.

He begins by learning the more simple fundamental truths which are carefully explained and followed by hours of work with instruments in the Laboratory. The first year's work consists of the acquiring of the simple, but most important, foundation principles of Electricity. The second year's work is varied, embracing electric wiring of buildings, study of storage batteries and their care, and the study of Direct Current Machines. In the third year Telephones and Wireless Telegraphy are taken up. Wireless teleg- raphy is especially fascinating and is taught in a practical way, each student being re- quired to build for himself simple sending and receiving sets, and to be able to send and receive at least ten words per minute. During the fourth year the Slide Rule is studied for a few weeks to learn how to operate this very useful instrument. The study of Alternating Current Electricity is then pursued for the rest of the year. Much laboratory work is given during each year of the course. The purpose of the Electrical Engineering Course is to give the student a practical and useful knowledge of electricity which he can use to advantage either simply in every- day life, in the electrical field of endeavor, or as a foundation for further study. A young man of purpose may thus learn the essentials of a profession in the wide and fascinating field of electricity which he is taking in his high school work. Several instruments of real worth have been made by our own department this year. Among these are: The laboratory transformers, one-fourth K.W. wireless transformer and transmitting set, high frequency Tesla coil giving twelve-inch spark, and a wave meter for wireless wave measurement. This year, as in preceding years, the department will end its work with an interesting and original Electric Show. Jake Dunkin, one of our senior engineers, has charge of the work, and Arthur Rankin, Orlo Wiggins and Theodore Young are his assistants. Several really clever stunts, show- ing in an interesting way, deep electrical principles are being worked out. Among these are demonstrations with the 150,000 volt Tesla Coil where the operator permits the cur- rent at this great voltage to pass through his body and light electric lamps or ignite paper, and perform scores of other equally amazing experiments. Then there is the singing and speaking electric arc lamp, a man's skull which speaks aloud to the visitor-no electric wires attached, a dog which comes out of his kennel upon receiving the wireless signal from his master-these and many others. The work of keeping up the electric lighting and power circuits on the campus, as well as new electric installations, is done entirely by students of the electrical depart- ment. Mr. Leslie Crouter has been chief campus electrician for this year and deserves special notice because of his unfailing reliability and attention to his duties. Honorable mention should also be made of Jake Dunkin, who has been laboratory assistant for the past two years. Thus it may be seen that the engineering student has splendid opportunities at the Polytechnic in the way of securing practical experience and developing responsibility. l V INNVVNAAlVVWhINiVl INN AAAAAAANVVVVWhIVVV5lV l 5 X 4+ K f,, Q ay Q X i 'J'-x ' X f mx X x 'SVI A A ff? f f f T HE PO LY 59 f-411 KX M!

First is the un- settled condition of the world's raw material mar- kets, particularly steelg and second, the shortage . of trained, dependable man power throughout the . 0 ' if various ramifications of the business of manufac- turing, distributing and serving automotive prod- ucts. Both of these problems are apparently in large measure the outcome of the mighty disturb- ' ance caused throughout the social, economic and by the recent World War With reference to the latter, it will be re- membered that for awhile production of peace time machines normally used in constructive chan- nels, was practically stopped and in their stead came forth both minute and ponderous engines of warfare, in ever increasing quantity. Government officials quickly recognized the efficiency of organization, together with the vast facilities of motor car manufactures, when all were united in one mighty effort and a common cause. Thus were prodigious stores of war materials produced almost over night, to the surprise of many of our own people and especially the enemy. Great as this mammoth undertaking was in the successful accomplishment of its pur- pose, getting back to a peace time basis has proved to be even a greater one. Incident to the general industrial upheaval caused by necessary sudden shifts all up and down the ranks, organized labor seems to have sighted what it has apparently taken for the dawning of a new day, in a short cut to a new found prosperity, our whole scheme for producing the necessaries of life, once so well defined and smooth running, has been turned topsy-turvy. Pursuant to its policy of giving the young man from the farm and ranch a chance to train for some of the larger responsibilities of life as related to true American citizenship, the Polytechnic constantly strives to improve its department of Automotive Engineering. The head of the department, being a government recognized factory trained man of more than fifteen years' continuous experience, is deeply conscious of the value of men, who, fired with the ambition of forging onward and upward with a real purpose in life, enter into their work with that fine spirit of zeal and self determination that characterizes them as possessed of the stuff of which success is made. Whether in class room or in laboratory, on the road or in the field, the omnipotence of God as manifested in the fundamental laws of nature governing our work are never lost sight of. Thus in our own way we are doing what we can to help relieve the pressure of the second problem mentioned by turning out men trained effectively in their chosen line of work and with such clear conception of the true ideals of Christian living as to reflect credit upon themselves, thus proving an asset to the community in which they may dwell. It will also be admitted that these principles when put into practice will do much toward alleviating the painful industrial unrest of this hour. Automotive machinery will play a large part in this reconstructive process and the young men trained in this school will have their full share in it. Thus it is very gratifying to know that thisrdepartment has doubled each year in the number of students until the crowded condition at present warrants plans for a new building and additional equipment to care amply for the greatly increased demands for this service next year. industrial realms of human activity and endeavor .

I 0 A . ,mn THE POLY DOMESTIC ECONOMY We can live without poetry, music and art, We can live without conscience and live without heart. We can live without friendsg we can live with- out books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. How true is the poet's statement! We would add an adjective in the last line and say that we cannot live in these days of high prices without efficient cooks. They must be trained to the tasks of handling the family budget efficiently and wisely, and to make every penny count. However high the prices of common commodities may soar, man seems to find it necessary to eat regularly three times a day, and to dress comfortably, ac- cording to the season. For a large majority of people the purchase of new clothing at this time is out of the question, and the scraps of food which we joyfully discarded when peace was declared, must be used to advantage in order to lessen the grocery bill. If we are to hope for better conditions, we must prove to our dealers and the profiteer that we can get along without their products. while prices are so exorbitant. In order to do this we must be trained in the knowledge of values-food values and textile values-so that we can make a little go a long way. Secondly, we must know how to get the most value out of left-overs . The dress of last year, with a little renovation, may be made to look like new, and give another season of service, if we just know how to accomplish the rejuvenation. With the aid of the trimmings box, last summer's hat may blossom out into a new creation, if we just know the tricks of the trade . We should be proud in these times to wear our old clothes, and if we make a study of the art of reconstruction and renova- tion as well as of the construction of the new articles, we shall be proud to do so. Since the world is looking to the home makers at this time more than ever before for a solution of the great problem or making lo oth ends meet, it is our aim to make of our girls truly efficient home makers. The girl who is trained in the care of her family and its budget is the one who will bob up smiling in the trying times which we are told are ahead and it is our desire to train girls to meet this emergency. El El HOW WE ACCOMPLISH IT 1. A study of foods, food values and preser- vation. 2. Meal planning and serving. 3. Child feeding. 4. Invalid cookery. i 5. Construction of clothing and millinery. 6. Care and renovation of clothing and mil- linery. 7. Study of textiles. 8. Wise planning and buying of the ward- robe. EI El THE POLY .nl nu:Iuunuuunnuununnnunnunnu ,G DOMESTIC SCIENCE LABORATORY JTK. MQ SEWING CLASS THE POLY nu 1 nnunnnnunu nnuuuuunnuuuu BIOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Natural science will always maintain a right- fully important place in the curriculum of secon- dary schools and colleges because of its direct bearing upon current social and civic problems. The student who has been trained to understand nature in the physical world will be the better enabled to interpret the great movements and ten- dencies that are forever at work in progressive civilization. The principles of biological and so- ciological study run in parallel lines, and the truths of the one form a clear basis for investiga-A tion into the complex causes which often render serious consideration of the underlying facts of the other so perplexing. The universe abounds in analogies which reveal themselves in definite re- lations to human life and its manifold purposes when the eye of the real truth-seeker spans the nameless spaces of biological mystery with the MRS. MCCARRO,-L telescope of science. Too often, however, the true aim of scientific study is smothered in a maze of mean- ingless facts-uncorrelated material that is discouraging and wearisome to the young stu- dent. His interest in nature, normally keen as it always is, sickens when confronted by so much mentally unpalatable food-the dry husks of scientific study. The lively observation of approaching maturity finds healthy sustenance in skillfully directed scientific study, and its value is later demonstrated in awakening responsibility in regard to social and economic conditions. Intelligent enthusiasm aroused in youth for righting existing wrongs continues as the years advance and the principles inculcated in the social science courses broaden in their meaning to embrace the needs of the hour. Thus, even though many of the facts learned be forgotten, the purpose of the courses in biology and sociology have been accomplished, in a quickening sense of social and civic responsibility based upon a deep comprehension of natural and social laws, and their origin in the evolution of life and conscience. Mrs. lVlcCarroll's training, experience and native ability enable her to conduct these courses in a manner which best meets the highest ends. She has had charge of the Work since Mr. Woodworth's departure in December and, in spite of the difficulties attending the carrying on of another instructor's work, the classes have lost nothing in interest or achievement.

Eva Martin, center, fcaptainj generally admitted to be the star player, distin- guished herself at the first of the year for her leadership in the game, her accuracy and perfect judgment, and most of all for her ability to keep sweet under all circumstances. Lola Weast, right forward, a natural lover of athletics and fair play, showed great skill and ability, and many of the baskets made were due to her unswerving shots from any place on the floor. Viola Martin, left forward. In this posltion it would be hard to find her equal, and the larger number of baskets in the sum total of the year's score are to her credit. Daphne Foubert, left guard, threw herself into the game with all her characteristic pep and determination. Her guarding was superb. Lena Hogan, right guard, was best known for her ability to be always where most needed, and at the same time to guard so efficiently and good naturedly as to kid her opponent out of making the desired basket. Their excellent team work was due to the splendid coaching of Jake Dunkin and the faithful direction of Miss Mowre falso to the practice given them by the second team.J Dec. 23-Poly, 5 Columbus, 0 Jan 9-Poly, Park City, 3 Jan 16-Poly, Red Lodge 9 Feb. 6-Poly Hardin 6 Feb. -Poly Park City, 0 Feb -Poly, 28, Hardin 0 Poly, 117' Opponents, 18 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association was organized early in October its object being to promote and provide financial support for all girls' athletics. Upon entrance to the Polytechnic every girl pays a fee of 31.50 into the athletic treas- ury. This amount covers the Physical Culture fee. This is the first year that we have had an organization of this kind, taking in every girl in school, and many plans have been laid to make rapid progress for following years. VVe have already bought equipment for the girls' gym work, and have given both financial and moral support to the girls' basketball team on every trip. All entertainments for visiting teams, either boys- or girls, were handled by this asso- ciation. The officers for the year 1919-20 are: President-Edith Smirl. Vice President-Eldora Kiehlbauch.

THE POLY KIMBALL HALL 1Gir'Is' Dormitoryj KIMBALL HALL The home for the young ladies of the Polytechnic is most attractive from every standpoint. The building is situated close to the dining hall and fortunately near to class rooms in the Losekamp Memorial. It is equipped with modern conveniences, with a laundry, domestic science kitchen and recreation room, on the basement floor. A cosy parlor occupies the north side of the first floor, Where friends and callers are received and where many happy hours are spent by the girls with music, literary programs or in- formal social intercourse. Built of the rocks from the quarries in the Rims back of the campus and showing much of the same style of architecture as the neighboring buildings, it presents a most beautiful and dignified appearance. Sixtygirls find cosy shelter, happy companionship and sympathetic, yet firm guidance within its walls. The dean, Miss Harriet Harding, is a woman of splendid culture, thorough training and high character. A plan of regulations has been carefully Worked out as a guide to correct social conduct, study hours, Work and play, which tends toward a harmonious, efficient and happy school life for every girl committed to the care of the school.

' - Kl- YI N! 82 THE POLY Claude Ryerson, Quarterback. Rye came to us from the Camp Lewis Eleven. He was elected captain of our team and proved to be highly efficient in his position. Good headwork and judgment was shown on his part as quarterback. When it came to tackling or carrying a ball Rye was there every time. He expects to be with us next year. George Staudt, Fullback. George is an old Poly veteran and a great line bucker. His weight and speed has taken the pigskin for many a yard toward our goal. George will be with us next year, which means a great deal toward our future success. John Broadbrooks, Right Half. HB1'O2LClYH is another of our old players, noted for his heavy hitting and swiftness which proved very successful on end runs and accepting forward passes. lvyl Burks, Left Half Slim is an experienced man at the Poly and his Irish would fight from the word Ngo. Quit was unknown to him. He is our fastest man and a great lover of athletics. We expect great work from him next year. J ack Donahoe, Center. Doc was an old standby who has held his position for three years like a giant fighting cat. He is a hard worker and loves the game. Hugh Nelson, Right Guard. Nels was another of the old players and fitted his position as only the best of players can. Arthur Petrie, Right Tackle. Pete was just 210 pounds of muscle which helped form an invincible line and crushed all that came before him. He has been with us three years and we expect him back next year. Jake Dunkin, Right End. Lefty received his training here last fall and is now one of the best men on the team. He is as strong and as quick as a steel trap and takes pleasure in all athletics. Harold Panton, Left Guard. Hallie was a new man, but learned the game quick and played like a Wildcat. Raymond Shinners, Left Tackle. Shimmie came to us from the Marines. He was a fighter from the Word go and broke the line of all of his opponents. Harold Lano, Left End. Lano is an old Polyite who plays the game well. Many a game depends on the ability of an end to judge his opponents' play and where to hit to break it up. We hope to see him here again next year. Vale Leitner, Substitute. Leitner was a good hand at the game. He could put cheer and life into his fellow players. Clyde Owens, Substitute. Slim was the youngest man on the squad but showed great possibilities for the future. Marshall McCarroll, Substitute. Mac was a good worker and always on the job. Arthur Rankin, Substitute. Rankin was a new hand at the game, but made great progress. Harold Elkins, Substitute. Bub was a new man and came in late. He showed great skill and speed. THE POLY , ,f FIRST TEAM BASKET-BALL Harold Elkins, Right Forward, Captain. Bub was one of the fastest men in the state this year. He knew the tricks of the game and handled the ball well. Many games were won by the captain of the team in the handling of his men and encouraging them. Harold Lano, Left Forward. Fat was our point getter and decided several close games in our favor. His ease and ability of handling the ball was wonderful. Ivyl Burks, Center. Slim was a center who never found his equal throughout the season. He was a great floor worker and basket shooter. His courage a11d endurance were remarkable. Jake Dunkin, Left Guard. Lefty was one of the hardest workers on our team. His luck was with him through- out every game of the season. He played his position as guard with great skill. We look forward to his having a place in the basketball world. J ack Donahoe, Right Guard. Doc is one of the big fellows that outside forwards hate to have get in their way as his guarding ability was excellent. Otto Kiehlbauch, Manager, Substitute. Slim was a very hard player and made a splendid showing at guard as well as at center. Owing to some 1nJur1es sustained last fall Slim was unable to hold down his posi- tion as center, which had been his place for two years previous. 'G George Staudt, Substitute. . ' George was a good man at the guard position and was always on the job. He played 1n most of the games and filled his place well. THE POLY l WK? w l 1 l SECOND TEAM BASKET-BALL SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL Panton, Shorey, Jones, Mague, Nelson. Our second team of this year made a great success. They not only won every outside game they played, but gave excellent practice to the first team. It was only through their unceasing efforts that the first squad maintained its splendid condition. Some of these boys will be with us next year and we look forward to them as first team candidates who will bring honor and glory to their colors. FIRST SQUAD SCHEDULE. January 14-Poly, 47, Hardin, 7.

Although the season did not begin until after Christmas many men showed up, all fighting for a position on the team. There was a great deal of competition, every one being obliged to struggle for his place. Much praise is due to Coach Andrew Thorine for his splendid coaching for it was owing to his efforts that we turned out the well conditioned team in such a short time. A heavy schedule was on hand and the team sometimes played two games a Week. Three trips were made during the season, one into Wyoming and two in southern and east- ern Montana. The most interesting game on the home floor was with the Montana Wesleyan college, which was nip and tuck through the last half. The final score was 20 to 19 in our favor. A wonderful game was played at Miles City. The team ran up against three all-state players and it looked rather gloomy for Poly. The score seesawed back and forth and was tied until the last two minutes, when Poly suddenly sprinted up and the game ended with the Poly five points in the lead. With this foundation material as a beginning, the basketball prospects are particu- larly bright for the coming year and the Polytechnic will no doubt fulfill her athletic des- tiny by a championship team in 1921. i 17 , I Game. f , 86 THE POLY 1 ,, Av ,yu fe, ' V ...f .

BASEBALL Finally, the wintry days have cleared away after the pent-up baseball bugs have waited for weeks for nice weather. The boys are enthusiastic about baseball and many have turned out for the main spring-time sport. Our great handicap in baseball is that the season is too short to make a real strong event out of it, although we hope to have a coach out here and possibly play several outside teams. Much good material is here and there is no doubt but that we have the making of a splendid team. The enthusiasm is very great as can be seen by the interest the boys have taken. A challenge was received from Worden, Montana, stating that they wished to play us in baseball. A team was picked, Ryerson acting as captain. We went to Worden on April 26, and beat them, 5 to 1. We gave them a return game on May 7, and this time we again beat them, 14 to 4. The team was composed as follows: Catcher, Ryerson, pitchers, Burks and Dunkin, first base, Donahoe, second base, Rinaldi, third base, Fry, shortstop, Lano, leftfield, Panton, center field, Junior, right field, Baker. The annual game between the students and faculty was very interesting, and the quality of the players was found out in this game. Although we may not be able to pro- duce a winning team, due to the short season, we still believe in keeping the national sport of baseball close to the foreground.

At this time it was deemed most practical to adopt the magazine idea and to have one issue each month. To get things started the management named Guy L. Barnes as editor-in-chief, Wallace E. Douglas, business manager, and Phillip Willis, literary editor. It was then discovered that a name was needed for the magazine. Every member of the institution was requested to suggest a name, with the understanding that the person suggesting the accepted one was to receive a free subscription to the C?J as long as it would be published. A hot contest then developed. When all the suggested names were in, the management of the school, and the appointed staff decided upon The Polygraph, which was suggested by Phillip Willis. The first publication appeared in November, after which Wallace Douglas resigned his position as business manager. In consequence, Mr. Barnes changed his title to editor and Mr. Willis became the new manager. At this time, the importance of ad setting and shop work was recognized, and then Robert Griffin went on the title page, as the printer. When the school year 1916 and 1917 opened, the Polygraph was ready to start its second successful year with Earl Beall as editor, Guy Barnes as manager and Robert Griffin as printer. This year the Polygraph was likewise printed in the Polygraph print shop, remained in the magazine style, and was issued once a month. At the beginning of the school year 1917 and 1918 the Polygraph underwent a com- plete change of both style and paper and staff. This year the staff consisted of Norton Good, editor-in-chief, Josephine Kerns, literary editor, Corinne Nettlehorst, society editor, John Deffebach, circulation manager, and Edmund Nichols, Jr., as shop foreman and head printer. Because of a new and larger press being added to the Polytechnic print shop, the Polygraph was changed from a monthly magazine to a small weekly paper printed in the newspaper style. When the school opened for the 1918 and 1919 year there was no Polygraph issued. All of the old staff had left and there were no new students to push it ahead. It was dur- ing the first part of March that the Polygraph again came into existence. In February Garfield Hankins, who had just returned from over seas duty in the navy, and C. D. Gilmore again organized a small staff and the Polygraph was again issued. This time it was still in newspaper style, but was issued once every two weeks. As this school year, 1919 and 1920, rose over the horizon the Polygraph was already up and shining for a successful year. The staff consisted of Mrs. Ada H. Davies, editor- in-chief, C. D. Gilmore, business manager and printer, Marshall McCarroll and Eldora Kiehlbauch, circulation managers, Alice Kennedy, typist, a faculty committee consisting of Mrs. Davies, Mrs. William Anderson and Rev. McCarroll, and several special re- porters. The Polygraph remained to be published in newspaper style and was issued every Saturday. This year the total circulation, including outside subscribers, has aver- aged about 150 copies a week. It has been the aim of the Polygraph throughout the year to mold as well as to echo 8 THE POLY campus sentiment. and to give the news both of the school and of the community. The little newspaper this year has been a cheerful messenger, a gay nevvsmonger, and a wholesome expression of student life and spirit. As this is the close of the fifth successful year of the Polygraph, we must turn to the future, confident that our successors will do as we have so far tried so hard to do- make the Polygraph a credit to our school, the Polytechnic, Worthy the support of every friend and the respect of all acquaintances-the crystallization of campus life and senti- ment. l X l i f' ,ff,f37'f A 'iff Q!! xo!- X W K , X, f f f' X X' fl '2 , fri! .4.- r x H-,eims iyl X gy y riiy fi ,J f xxx If Sf? if . 14 ' X I Sociegy Blowoff i I .

It was named Alpha, which is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. The society has maintained a high standard of culture and service to the school and its members. Mrs. A. O. Kline has instituted a custom of entertainment for the members of this society. At the beginning of each school year the girls are invited to the Country Club near the Polytechnic. A special feature at this time is the musical program. Dancing is one of the delights of this accasion. Dainty refreshments are served. Later on comes the Eagle-Alpha program. This is the first of all society programs of the year. It is a good test of the ability of the members as very little time is given for preparation. The members of each society did exceptionally Well in the program of this year. The play entitled Farmerette given by the Alphas, was one of the best of the season. It won merited praise because of the excellent training displayed. Mrs. Ada Davies coached the play and the society is deeply indebted to her for her interest and help. Last year a fund was started by the Eagles and Alphas for a stage curtain to be used in the Losekamp Conservatory. This year We were able to add to this sum from the pro- ceeds of a carnival held in the Gymnasium. It is the aim of every Alpha to do all in her power to take every opportunity to be of the highest service possible to the Institute she loves and to each one of her associates. M. H.

There is work to be done: fruit to be gathered-take the key, open the door and to work, said Miss Aristo. Instantly all were busy. Teas, programs, rim-rock feeds, and weiner roasts with our brothers, the hardy Pioneers, followed, and at the end of the first week the kindly interest, hospitality and entertainment of the members of the Aristo Society had won for her seven- teen new members. Among these were found the school's best in music and dramatic art. More recruits were added until the enrollment is now forty-two. The society is just completing her eighth year of activity, being the youngest in the school. It was organized by Miss Lucy M. Morse and Miss Nellie Straw, early in the fall of 1912. P The first few weeks of the school year were spent in getting acquainted and holding lively programs every Friday night, with games and dancing afterward. Then early in Gctober the Aristos and Pioneers gave their first public program, which consisted of musical and dramatic numbers. The good times spent together will not soon be forgotten. Perhaps the most memor- able of these was the Aristo-Alpha party given in the Art Room of Kimball Hall, with the Aristos as hostesses. Games were played and refreshments served, which always appeal to all, and the frosty winter evening when Mrs. Prusman and Mrs. E. T. Eaton so royally entertained the society in the club room of the Eaton home. The time was spent in story telling, singing, dancing and popping corn over the fireplace. The purpose of the society is to prepare the student to appear to better advantage in private, public or social life. The programs are varied--studies of art, literature and music are taken up. This gives an opportunity for the student to appear both on private and public programs. This year the classes have all been organized for the first time in the history of the school, and the Aristo members have taken prominent parts in the various activities. They have contributed well to downtown entertainments. And now, that the year is drawing to its close, the girls are busy with the last large program of the year. Intersociety Night figures largely during the Commencement Week. and is looked upon as the one last all-Poly entertainment of the year. Our number to be presented is a one-act farce, The Revolt, written by Ellis Parker Butler, who visited the school early in the year. ARISTO SONG Tune of Eli Yale VVho ranks first at the Polytech?

In 1911 a desire true and worthy was created in the heart of Mrs. Gullick of Lake Segago, Maine. This desire grew until it culminated in the National Organization, known as the Camp Fire Girls. The purpose of the organization is to promote all that is pure and noble in the everyday life of its members and to be helpful to all those with whom they come in contact. In 1917 a Chapter of the Camp Fire was organized at the Polytechnic by Miss E. Ludwig. Crow Lodge was the name given to this branch. Miss Ludwig was chosen as the first Guardian. At the beginning of this school year Miiss Ludwig accepted a position in the State College at Pullman, Washington. Miss Mowre was chosen unanimously for this position. On January 26, 1920, a reception was given in honor of Miss Mowre and the new Camp Fire members. The Camp Fire play, entitled The Call of Wohelo, was presented by the girls on February 27. The girls showed an excellent spirit in preparing for this occasion, as was manifest in the success of the play. Great interest has been shown in the organization this year. Splendid hikes, after- noon teas and suppers on the rim rocks have added enjoyment to the social side. Especially enjoyable was the evening spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Eaton. The Camp Fire Girls are making themselves one ofthe most useful organizationsnon the Campus and each year their influence for the best interests of the school is becoming more evident. The Camp Fire exists as a great exponent in the betterment of social conditions. One of the five essentials, G i v e Service was most de- woutly carried out by the Crow Lodge Camp Fire during the year of 1918, when the Camp Fire Girls adopted a little French orphan, one of the sufferers of the great world war. The little child's name is Germaine Bord'e. Several letters of grati- tude have been received from the mother for the interest and sympathy shown the little one. The nobility depicted in this gratitude is suf- ficient reward to the Guardian and Camp Fire Girls for their sac- rifices.

It is safe to say that no other one thing binds students so surely and everlastingly to their Alma Mater as do her traditions. We here at the Polytechnic have our own traditions which we reverence and keep. The beautiful silent service on the rims which is observed at the opening and closing of each school year-every old student who is here tonight knows the sacredness of the ceremony. The silent files of students slowly wend their way to the little out-of-doors temple upon the side of the rims, and there looking down upon a valley rich in beauty and fertility and guarded by the snow-capped mountains-the blue above and the green beneath-there in the great out-of-doors we praise God who has made all possible. Then our candle-light supper or moving day banquet--this we celebrate in memory of the moving of the Polytechnic from her scattering abodes in Billings to this one of per- manency and opportunity for unfettered expansion. I cannot pause to tell you of all our traditions as I have another mission tonight. Now friends, and especially Juniors, it is the keen desire of the class of nineteen hun-- dred and nineteen to originate a new tradition to be handed down through years to follow. This tradition we would call The Handing Down of the Poly Seal. We the Senior class feel that we are going out into the world as the latest representative of the Polytechnic. Although we cannot say that we measure up to the fullest of the ideals of the founders THE POLY of the institution nor to the virtues as engraved upon our seal, yet it has been our guiding law. Now to the Juniors who succeed us, we would present the seal as your guide and you its custodian. Note the gifts and guard them well. First and above all others, I give to you religion, an unfaltering faith in God and Christian ideals-the mainstay of us all: Culture, I present, the refining of all noble classes: note well Industry, God gives all things to Industry, the melting-pot making all men equal, Health, the perfect frame of youth: Skill, the finishing touch of a Senior, and Patriotism, the foundation of every American and Polytechnic student. Guard them well that in the spring of 1920 you may in turn hand them down untarnished to the class fol- lowing you. Wedtnesday, May 28, at 9:00 P. M.

In the heart of dear old Poly, Where wonderful friendships grow, And the little birds are twittering, And the Montana breezes blow.

The social activities have been many and successful. One of the most dazzling was the Masquerade Ball, given on March 17. Fairies, witches, gypsies, Oriental maidens and cowgirls danced gaily with clowns, country farmers, goblins and rough riders. Much interest was taken in the voting for the most beautiful girl and many swains were observed to gorge themselves with pop and ice cream cones in order to buy votes for their ladies fair. Billy Grout won first place and Dolly Terrell second in the beauty contest. There were many sighs of regret when the clock struck twelve and the Cinderellas had to don their every-day garb once more. This being Leap Year the girls could not be outdone, so on the night of April 9 the gallant young ladies escorted the coy. bashful male population to a Hard Times dance in the gym. All the rags and tatters that could be found were on full parade. With the dropping of every-day clothes were doffed also every-day manners and every one had a hilariously good time. The boys' heads became quite swollen over their popularity. But bless the poor little dears, they only have that satisfaction once in four years so we won't deprive them of their day dreams. The Juniors have won especial fame as entertainers this year. Their Picnic was most unique. Shoot the shoots, swings and teeter totters made the dignified seniors as well as the freshmen feel like children once again. Some wonderful long distance runners were discovered and the evening passed off very pleasantly with dancing for those who never tire of it. The Junior Prom was the most formal affair staged this year. The Conservatory looked a very garden of Howers and brightness. The orchestra, on a raised platform, played music that couldn't have been resisted and the girls, in their light party dresses, lent a final charm and beauty to the whole scene. The grand march, led by Edith Smirl, May Queen-elect and the president of the Junior Class, George Staudt, was very prettily worked out. Many Wiener roasts have been held on the bluffs. Among these one by the Eagles and Alphas, the other by the Aristos and Pioneers, were particularly enjoyable. Both groups had a merry time around the camp fire roasting the wieners, making coffee, toast- ing marshmallows and singing songs. THE POLY 3 Mrs. Eaton entertained the Camp Fire Girls at her home one evening. They all appreciated being in a real home once more, and the manner in which the apples, pop- corn and toasted marshmallows disappeared went to show that they were indeed at home. 11 The Basket-Ball boys and girls were entertained at Mr. and Mrs. Kline's at a most wonderful dinner one night, as all will tell you. After the dinner, which we shall not attempt to describe in detail for fear it might make too many mouths water, they played games and danced until time to go home. l-1 - Mr. and Mrs. Eaton entertained the Basket-Ball boys and an equal number of young ladies at dinner in the beautiful club room of their new home. During the delightful re- past Mr. Eaton gave a scholarship to each of the self-help boys who had made first team this year. This splendidly generous act was warmly appreciated by the boys and chal- lenges the admiration of all. The Junior Prom, given May the first, was the most enjoyable dance of the year. The fete was held in the business exchange room in the Conservatory of Music, whose many pillars made decoration comparatively easy. The hall was artistically festooned with the class colors, royal blue and gold, while Thompson's six-piece orchestra made even the most reticent gay by their melody, which came enticingly from a flower decorated pavilion in the center of the hall. The hall was softly illuminated from a myriad of Japanese lanterns of wondrous beauty. The evening was started by a grand march, led by the Junior President and Queen of the May. It wound gracefully in and out among the flower garlanded pillars with a most beautiful and pleasing appearance. After the grand march followed the regular dance program and many graceful couples stepped to the melodies of the latest in popular music. No gayer assembly of young people ever gathered together to trip the light fantastic and no more variously or handsomely dressed young ladies graced a hall with their pres- ence.. The affair is one which will long be remembered by the many students, faculty members, and Billings guests who attended. 4 THE POLY FACULTY L B A pleasant social feature in the Community Life of the Polytechnic is the Faculty Club, organized in the year 1918. The purpose of this club, as Article IV reads, is The promotion of fellowship and enjoyment among the members of the faculty and to provide an opportunity for the discussion of current world problems. The Executive Committee elected at the first monthly meeting of the year 1919-1920 were as follows: President ......,.,..... ......... M r. R. B. Howard Vice President ...,... . ...... Rev. Hugh McCarroll Secretary .............. .... . . ................ Miss Marcia Bailey The various homes on the campus and Kimball Hall have been the scenes of these pleasant club meetings as the months passed by, and the great out-of-doors was chosen at the close of the year for the farewell, before the club members dispersed--north, south, east and west-taking happy memories with them. In mentioning the social activities of the Polytechnic, the delightful teas and after- noon receptions given by the girls and lady faculty members of Kimball Hall, must' not be forgotten. With music and readings, light conversation and dainty refreshments, these occasions have been most enjoyable, and time has slipped away ere any of us were aware. l -- That our faculty ladies are excellent cooks has irrefutable evidence in the delicious dinners, breakfasts and impromptu suppers given by Messrs and Mesdames Anderson, Kline, Prusman, Howard. Eaton, Carver, Mrs. Dowling, and Misses Harding, Johnson, and VVallace, at various times throughout the year. -. . - The Woman's Club of the Polytechnic has come into being for the first time this year and has held several very interesting meetings. In spite of inclement weather, the la.dies have gathered at the homes of the members in sufficient numbers to transact busi- ness and carry on important work. Steps have been taken to join the Federation of Wom- en's Clubs and much encouragement has been received for the success of the organiza- tion from prominent members of the Billings Woman's Club.

All I need now is a small capital to get it started. The thought of capital made Tim Milton wince. The lack of money had been his drawback throughout his college life, and now it loomed darkly ahead of him, threatening to extinguish his brightest hopes of success in a cherished invention. He had no one to pat him on the back and say, Keep it up, Tom, you will be rich and famous some day. But he had grown accustomed to working without encouragement. The sudden death of both his parents in a railway accident while he was a lad in high school had stunned the sensitive boy. but when he recovered from the shock. he had come to the stern realization that he must paddle his own canoe, and the way had not been made easy for him. Studious and idealistic by nature, but penniless and friendless by cruel Ch-31109, Tom had determined to secure a college education, though he knew it meant hard gruell- ing drudgery, for he had to work his way th rough the course. Electrical Engineering is no snap, and Tom found it difficult enough to make ends meet. After leaving college, he became greatly interested in aviation problems, and his mind was constantly busy with devices for improvement in aeroplane machinery. His habit was to work long enough to enable him to devote a few weeks to an idea that possessed him, when he would be forced again to seek a job. It had been uphill work. But now- he needed money to feed the mill. He thought of Henry Lorimer, a wealthy lawyer, an old-time friend of his father's. Perhaps he might finance the scheme. Running down the four flights of stairs, from his room to the street, he opened the door to be greeted by a cold Montana wind, for it was drawing near to Christmas and as usual, it was very cold. Farther up the street he heard a crash, and saw a large sedan car turned over onto the curb. He rushed to the wreck and saw the unconscious body of a girl, pinned in the wreckage. With the help of some of the crowd that had gathered the car was righted and Tom carried the limp body to a doctor's office. The physician worked swiftly and soon color tinted the rounded cheeks of the girl, while long lashes trembled uncertainly to reveal at last the bluest eyes Tom had ever seen. He was very glad to hear that she was not seriously injured-just a few bruises and a bad scare. She asked for her father, and while the doctor went to the other room to telephone to him, Tom began diffidently to talk with her. That was a very narrow escape you had, Miss--. He blushed unaccountablv. Hamilton, she supplied, graciously, flashing sincere gratitude from the dazzling eyes. I do wish father would hurry up and come. I know he will be so worried about me. He told me not to go to town as the streets were very slippery, but you see we had to have decorations and provisions for Christmas and I thought I would drive to town for them. So you live out of town, Miss Hamilton? He was getting on better now. Yes, she replied, you see ever since my mother died father has lived on the ranch. He has not cared to go about much. The ranch is eighteen miles out of town among the mountains and close to the Stillwater river. As she spoke, Tom's eyes glowed warmly. Anywhere near the Baldy Hills? he inquired, trying to make his voice sound casual. She glanced at him quickly, and her voice expressed the swift sympathy that she instinctively felt, as she asked softly, Then you know the country? Yes, my boyhood home was up in Blue Creek Canyon. But that seems ages ago. An irresistible impulse to tell her of his life, his struggles and his hopes almost over- came his natural reticence. With woman's sure intuition, Edith divined his thoughts behind the stifled sigh. But it couldn't have been so very long ago, she challenged. playfully picking up the cue which he had dropped with so unconscious an impulse. Tell me about it, she cn- couraged, and this time helmade no attempt to deny his desire. Unaccustomed as he had always been to feminine society and inclined to shrink within 78 THE POLY himself even among men, except where studies or work brought him into their midst, Tom Milton was described by most of his acquaintances as a queer genius. His grief at the tragic loss of his parents had effectively insulated him from any other close human com- panionships. Unaware that his own aloofness was the cause of this condition. he had somewhat morbidly believed himself incapable of winning friendship and had devoted himself with all the energy of the single-track mind, to the proving and working out of an idea for improvement in the mechanism of the aeroplane. Marveling at himself as he talked of his past struggles, and present hopes, Tom felt strangely transported. He was vaguely surprised at her understanding interest, but his own absorbing enthusiasm was reflected unmistakably in his listener's attitude and expression. , The spell was broken by an impatient rap upon the door. James Hamilton burst into the room and anxiously surveyed his daughter. But as she smiled up at him reassuringly his features relaxed. ' Edith! he exclaimed. I am so glad to see that you are not seriously injured. 1 couldn't imagine what on earth had happened to you when I got the call. Why, who is this young man, Edith? Oh, yes, father, he is the young man who brought me up here. I want you to meet him. Father, meet Mr.-, Oh, what is your name? Here we have been talking all the time and I don't know your name. Tom Milton, shyly. He had again retreated into his personal hermitage. Tom, Hamilton said with frank familiarity, I thank you most sincerely for the service you rendered my daughter, and I would be greatly pleased if you could possibly get away from your duties to spend the Christmas holidays with us. You see, it is rather lonesome out at the ranch and I know Edith would enjoy having you out there. Tom accepted the invitation modestly and promised to be out the next day. Way down deep in his heart he was rejoicing because it would mean a real Christmas time for once in many years. He forgot all his troubles and went back to the hotel to pack up his few clothes. On his way out a sign posted on a bulletin board caught his eye. It read: WANTED Men for aviation field and shops. For information write, The Northwestern Airplane Co., Boise, Idaho. This was just the chance Tom needed. He wrote to the firm that night telling them of his education and knowledge of the machines. The next day on his way to the ranch he was enraptured by the beauty of the coun- try. The ample ranch house and the numerous barns and sheds were snugly hid between large hills covered with tall, stately pines which kept out the cold December winds. Down below the house was the Stillwater river. and looking still farther ahead one saw the beautiful Beartooth Mountains, in their blue-white mantles. When he arrived at the house he was met by Edith and her father and was told to make himself at home. He had been there a week when he received a letter from Boise with directions to come at once. He did not like the idea of leaving so soon, as he had come to love the ranch and its surroundings. The thought of leaving Edith was not the least of his regrets. He broke the news to her but promised himself that when he could make good in life he would come back and ask her father for her hand. Their eyes met and spoke of loyalty to each other and then Edith fled to her room and cried, for she had fallen in love with the young man whom she had known for but a week. Before Tom left he spotted a landing place for an aeroplane, for he had made up his mind to return in one. Arriving at the factory he had no trouble in getting work as a mechanic in the shops. He worked hard and faithfully through the winter months and made many friends with both employes and owners. , The president of the factory took a liking to Tom, and one day he said: Tom, I have been watching your work and you have pleased me very much. There is a call for forest rangers, to notify the people when the fires are started in the forest, and I think you are suitable for this work. As I am connected with the firm at the head of this, I shall equip you with an aeroplane and a wireless set immediately, because there are many I. W. W. in the country and it is feared that they may start forest fires soon if they haven't already. Tom did not hesitate about accepting, for his ambition was to become an aviator, and THE POLY this position would give him a splendid opportunity to learn to fly well and to fly over many obstacles, for the forests were in deep ravines and on the tops of high hills. He practiced flying and sending wireless messages from the air and in a week he passed the test as a flying forest ranger. His route lay over the Coeur d'Alene forest. He would start in the morning, circle around over the forests, land in one field and return in the afternoon. The round trip covered about 200 miles. It was not as exciting as he had expected it to be, for he located only two forest fires all summer. After the hot summer days were gone the patrol was not needed, so he asked for a vacation. He was longing to see Edith and he wanted to surprise her by arriving in an aeroplane. He received a montlh's leave and the use of his plane. On his way to Hamilton's home he had to fly over a hilly and rocky portion of the range. From a distance he saw a huge black moving object slowly heading for the more hilly and heavily forested country. He looked at it through his glasses and made out a big bunch of cattle driven by several horsemen. Hamilton must be shipping cattle, thought Tom, but I don't see why he wants to send them in that direction. He took one good look at the disappearing cattle and surrounding country and then headed straight for the landing place near the ranch house. Edith, looking out of the window, noticed that some of the stock were running as if they were scared, so, grabbing a gun, she ran out of the house to see what was bothering them. She heard a loud noise and saw an aeroplane about to land near the house. As it drew to a standstill, a man climbed out of the machine and came toward her with a merry twinkle in his eyes. I hope you are not going to use that piece of machinery on me for a while, he laughed. She then recognized Tom and ran to meet him. Tom, who would have thought of you coming in a thing like that? Well, it's this way, Tom said laughingly, You see these airships are about the fastest things going, therefore I chose it so that I could come here quickly. This is cer- tainly a beautiful place. It was wonderful last winter, but it is still more so now, with everything showing an autumn tinge. I don't see how you could ever want to leave this place. Is your father at home? Yes, replied Edith. He has just returned from the hills. I think he will be glad to see you. They went toward the house, hand in hand, and the father seeing them, was con- scious of mingled feelings. He went out and greeted Tom cheerfully, saying: I hope you will be with us longer than you were last time. You will, at least, have to go on a hunting trip with us. I would like to stay the rest of my life, answered Tom warmly, Edith's cheeks flushed rosy signals as she turned toward him. The supper bell rang then, and the three went into the house. As they were eating, Tom thought of the cattle he had seen driven through the mountain pass toward the railroad and remarked, I saw some of your cattle being driven through the pass as I flew over Baldy Hills. Are you intending to ship them? How do you figure that? Hamilton asked. Why, aren't those your cattle being chased into the Baldy Hills? It must be, answered Hamilton, growing excited, but my men haven't been given any orders to drive any cattle in that direction. Itell you, Tom, it must be Bill Healy's gang of rustlers starting in again. It was the same way last year. Just about the time we got ready for the cattle roundup, many cattle disappeared. Many ranchers suffered loss but it seems as if neither sheriff nor ranchers can find where they keep the stolen cattle. An idea struck Tom, I will find their hiding placeg that little bird I came in, and a pair of strong field glasses will aid me in my job. Great idea, Tom, I don't see why you should have any trouble finding them with the equipment you have, but isn't there danger of the rustlers suspecting something and shoot- ing you down? Edith questioned anxiously. Tom laughed. There isn't much danger of them being suspicious, they would never think of any one spying on them from an aeroplane. The next morning Tom fixed his machine and started it up. After scattering the stock in all directions by the noise, he rose and headed for the place where he had seen the cattle last. From there he circled around in a ten-mile radius and looking through his glasses, he saw a thin column of smoke rising from a place which seemed impossible to get into. He swooped down low and could see that the people were branding about three uunlununnooqnld l ulllulnii 130 THE POLY hundred head of white-face cattle. Rising he continued straight ahead so as not to create suspicion and when he was out of sight he headed for the ranch. Arriving, Tom told Hamilton what he had seen and advised him to get as many men as possible for the chase as there was a large band of rustlers on hand. Let's seeg did you say that you saw about three hundred whiteface cattle and that they were hidden in a deep canyon. The cattle are mine, all right, because we have missed them: but I can't recollect that place. I'll call Grant over and see if he knows anything about that placef' He beckoned Grant, who was one of his oldest cattlemen, and asked him if he knew the whereabouts of that place. ' Yes, I do recollect a place like that, all right. It is a very hard job getting through that canyon. especially from this side, as there is a rock incline and bad lands leading to the opening. If those rustlers drove the cattle through there I will give them credit for being a fine bunch of cattlemenf' Grant, you get five horses in for the three deputies and one each for Tom and me. I know Tom is just aching to go. I will phone several ranchers and the deputies, as we want to start immediately. I hate to see all those cattle with the rustler's brand on them. At eleven-thirty, fifteen men, heavily armed and mounted on good horses, started out. Edith longed to go with them, but was told to remain because there might be gun-play and she was not wanted then. The horsemen crossed many ravines and climbed many high hills and it seemed as if they would never get out of them. Grant, acting as guide, stopped every so often and surveyed the country as if in doubt that they were going in the right direction. Just a minute, one of the deputies whispered, Don't you hear something? They stopped and listened. Away off in the distance could be heard the bellowing of cattle and from that direction a column of smoke circled above the trees. Now, fellows. Mr, Hamilton spoke gravely, we've got to stop and figure how we are going to get these cattle without shedding blood. I suggest that we hide our horses here and sneak up on them, getting between them and the horses, so as to cut them off from their guns. They will most likely be so intent upon their work that they will not suspect anyone around. Our job is to round up all the rustlers and turn them over to the deputies. The rest of us will drive the cattle home tomorrow. The plan was agreed upon and they proceeded forward on foot. Upon coming to a small hill they could look down on the rustlers' camp and observe their movements. fcontinuecl on Page l48l e- i , t'eX-e- ffirf HERE 4-155 A 'I' Ui-E O lifigvw Kimi f - 77l5jl5C0 T A 'I' 00211 -I HH' il E -1 ofzlpiar h ' i i L xv, , Sflfbnvls .bxs me fm , i, Eg eases--H--. . gg , , -1. , w V I f-:mg e- tuify' 5 I xv ,,, - l I X nag., ,:, . . .

There is the whole bunch of 'em around the cattle and not another rustler in sight anywhere else. We surely ought to get those fellows without much trouble. This surely is an ideal place for a rustlers' camp, spoke up Tom. The canyon seems as if it were suddenly closed up at the other end, but it is not, for from the aero- plane it went around the side of the mountain. I suppose they drive the cattle around that way and by the time they get around th ere and to the railroad they are many miles from the ranches where the cattle belong? The men slowly, cautiously, closed up on the gang of rustlers. The din and noise made by the cattle was a help to the rescue party. When they were nearly upon them a signal was given and the men surrounded the gang. The rustlers were taken by surprise and could not believe that any one had found their hiding place. They were turned over to the deputies and the rest of the fellows started to round up the stolen cattle. Boys, directed Hamilton. Tom and I will help the deputies take in the rustlers. You can make yourselves at home here and run in the cattle in the morning,', and, turn- ing to Tom, Let us gog I know Edith will be worried about us. In three weeks a big horse race was to be held at Omaha, Nebraska, and large sums of money were staked upon it. Mr. Hamilton was the proud owner of a dapple gray mare known throughout the country as a wonderful trotter. He prized this horse greatly but kept her for the pleasure and pride it gave him to drive the splendid animal, as he never indulged in races. Down the river some distance lived, orrather, camped two men, who were not very popular around the country, though no one could prove anything on them. Jerry, we'll have to leave this damn peaceful country, spoke up the big husky fellow, Fm getting flat on coin, and it's too peaceful around here to do anything. Let's go where we can make a haul that's worth something. Say, Walt, suggested Jerry, You know that the races are coming off in three weeks. There is no easier way of making money than on horse races. But, what are we going to dog we haven't any horses?', Walt inquired. THE POLY 149 FARM AND CITY LOANS MADE BYJ. B.

Do you remember the time when Gld Hamilton's dapple gray mare copped all the prizes at the roundup? Well, I would bet anything she could perform the same way at Omaha. But what good will that do us, we have-n't got her. Are you really as thick as that, or trying to kid me? You know that Hamilton and the bunch are after Healy's outfit. Well.what's going to stop us from swiping the horse and beating it? They won't be back till some time tomorrow and by that time we can get far enough away so we can ship the horse without creating suspicion. Great! exclaimed Walt. I always knew you had brains. Let's start right away. I think we'd better take our guns along because we might run across opposition. The two cautiously crept toward the barn, where their quarry was kept. They slipped an extra halter over her head and led the innocent animal from the barn without trouble. As soon as she saw the other horses about the barnyard, however, she greeted them with a loud whinny, which threw the thieves into consternation. Rex, the Collie dog, barked in alarm. Edith, realizing that something unusual was happening, rushed out just in time to see Dapple led rapidly away. Withoiit a moment's hesitation, she ran into the house and returned with a revolver. Bounding swiftly after the men, she surprised them with the sharp command: Up with your hands! Keeping them skillfully covered, she dis- armed them and threw their weapons on the ground. Now, head for that house and don't take all day about it, came the clear girlish tones. As they approached the house she called the cook. Hey, Wun Lung, come out here and help me lock these would-bes in the cellar, and then you stay out here and guard them while I go for help. She waited impatiently for the Chinaman to appear. As she turned her head quickly toward the house expecting Wun Lung's assistance, glances that were signals passed be- tween the men, and swift as thought, Jerry sprang and knocked the gun from Edith's hand. Walt immediately picked up the weapon, but rose to 'find the Chinaman covering him with another gun. Edith was struggling unequally with her assailant, who was try- ing to gag her. Don't mind meg keep him covered, she shouted breathlessly to Wun Lung, who showed signs of indecision, and desire to help her at any cost. Rex, who had subsided when he saw his mistress apparently controlling the situation, now bounded with bared teeth at Jerry's heels, keeping that gentleman so busy that Edith had time to recover herself and regain possession of her gun from Wun Lung's prisoner. Dapple, meanwhile, frightened by the fracas had galloped away up the mountain road, where she met the returning horsemen with the captured rustlers. Hamilton, sens- ing something wrong at home from the excitment of his favorite, thought instantly of Edith, and, directing one of the men to catch the horse, signalled to Tom, and both raced toward home, where, by this time, the would-be horsethieves were disconsolately secure in the cellar, while Edith, except for a disheveled appearance, which she was en- deavoring energetically to improve, was not much the worst for the encounter with the des- peradoes. Mutual congratulations were in order, and after dinner that evening about the cheery fireplace, plans were made for a hunting trip, as a celebration and recreation after the thrilling events of the last few days. Of course, we will have to invite some of our neighbors to go along, as it wouldn't be interesting without a merry crowd, suggested Edith. A few days later after all the cattle were returned to their respective owners, the hunting party was made up and a jolly crowd set out for the mountains. One day Edith and Tom were accidentally separated from the rest of the party and as they strolled along the mountain stream they found themselves talking of the future. Tom had just said with much warmth that he would like to live always inthe mountains. Edith replied, earnestly: Then, when we are married- blushing prettily. Here Tom stopped, and lowering his head in shamefaced fashion, said faintly: Edith, we can't get married--I-you see- he stopped, overcome with embarrassment and chagrin. He could go no farther. The brutal words were branded into her heart as with a red-hot iron. Could there be another? She had taken too much for granted. What must he think of her? She turned quickly and ran toward the camp. On arriving at the factory Tom asked for the president, who presently called him into the office, and upon seeing the sober expression on Tom's face was startled, and said, THE POLY HNMMWWWWMWWMWWWMWWWWmWmWWWMMWWWmWWWWMWWWMMMWNMWWMWWMWWWWWWWW The Main Cafe IT'S THE CHEF', The House of Quality and Service MMWWWMWWWWWMWWMMMWMMWWMMWWWWMMWWNWWWWWWWWWMWWMWNWWNWWMMWWWWH MHMHWMWWWWMWWHWMWWWWWMMWMWWMNWMWWMWWWWWWWMMWMWWWNWMWWHWWWMWW Renwick Imp.

Did your girl go back on you? Come, now, brace up. Sir, Tom spoke gravely, I come before you with a plan which will, if both of us can agree upon it, make our fortunes. I hope so. replied the president, somewhat surprised at so direct an attack. Tom laid the plans out on the table and explained them to the president. One great trouble with machines is to find a starting and landing place. Tom had planned a device which would eliminate the great area of landing space. At every important landing place a large metallic plate was to be built, which was wound with many turns of wire and a large storage battery connected to the windings. When the SWitCh Was tl11'OWI1 ln. a St1'O11g Horth pole magnetic wave was produced, O11 the aeroplane three large iron cores with many turns of wire were built, two directly be- neath the wheels, and one at the tail. An extra high amperage generator was installed on the plane which was connected through a reversible switch, making the poles either north or south. When the aviator wishes to land he sends a wireless message to the operator of the landing place and he throws in the switch which connects the storage battery to the plate. The flier then turns on the current to the coils, creating a south-pole mag- netic wave and hovers over the landing place. To make this a little simpler to the reader, I will explain the north and south pole magnets. Probably many of you did not know that like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other. As the aeroplane flies over the unlike plate, it produces a north pole, and the machine produces the south pole, the plate therefore attracts the ma- chine. Just as the machine is ready to light the reversing switch is turned on and the cores on the machine become north poles, which make the two repel each other, but as the weight of the machine helps overcome this repulsion it gradually lights on the plate. When wishing to start, a very strong current is sent through the windings of both plate and machine, both producing like poles. As the repulsion is very great it sends the aero- plane up in the air, and being assisted by propellers, built directly over the wings, it en- ables aviators to get the machine up in the air high enough to clear all obstacles on the ground. After studying the plans for some time, the president grasped Tom's hand and said, Mr, Milton, you cannot realize what a wonderful thing you have done for the air world. The landing and starting place has always been a great hindrance to successful flying, but this will put a stop to all those troubles, I believe. How would it sound to you if I should put you on the engineering staff, and if these plans prove successful, make you a junior partner of the firm? VVith an effort Tom controlled his emotion, quietly expressed his thanks and left the office, with wild joy and hope mingling in his heart. Now I can go back and claim Edith -but- The next morning Tom embarked in his faithful machine towards the mecca of his heart's desire. As he flew over the ranch he kept a lookout for Edith. He could hardly wait until he landed. He thought he saw her, but sight brought a pang of jealousy. She was out walking with another man: it wasn't her father, that was certain. I knew I was too late to do any good. She will not even want to see me now. But who can the man be? he wondered. So intent was he in making out the couple, that he forgot that he had a delicate mechanism to control. It lurched and Tom realized that it was too late to make a success- ful landing. Then he lost control of his machine and before he could straighten it out, it was too late. The engine struck the ground first. Tom was thrown out of his seat, his head striking the brace of the wings. The blow rendered him unconscious and he lay tangled up in the wreck. Edith, riding not far away, heard the whirr of the machine, the sound that she always longed to hear, though her cheeks burned as she remembered their last meeting. It couldn't be Tom,', she thought to herself, but-Oh, My God. He is falling! Then, spurring her horse, she rode swiftly toward the fallen machine. She tried to lift the unconscious body from the wreck, but could not as it lay beneath one of the wings. So she mounted her horse and raced toward the house. Oh, father, get some men quick and help get Tom out of the wreck, she sobbed. His machine is back of Sandy Hill-Oh, I am afraid it is all over with him. You send for a doctor and I will go at once, said her father. With the help of several men Hamilton brought the unconscious body to the house and T HE POLY 153 5- 52? .7 1 - 5 : E 7 'a 7 , ,. -Qi 5.2- 72 2 62 g 2 2 if-.ai 3 3 E25 74 af E2 if-5 E E E5 . jjzyZ-ZZ Z2 55-,SQ E..-2 i 2 f - , f f .2 4 ZZ?

After examining the deep gash in his head the doctor muttered, Lucky boy. Edith overheard and eagerly questioned, Will he live, doctor? Yes, replied the doctor, I am sure that he will pull through. His head was bandaged and in a short time Tom regained consciousness. Seeing Edith sitting beside him, Tom remembered what had happened. With a smile on his face, and with a feeble voice he whispered, Edith, I have made good. I EIEIEIEI 'J fin X X!!!

Sprinkle salt on the tail before and after catching. Then saw a rib plank from the fattest tree in the front yard. Place fish on plank feet first. A piece of lemon squirted on the left ear of the fish will make it look better. Add a sprig of cabbage, a bunch of bananas and the whites of nineteen eggs. If eggs are expensive, use grapefruit. Place in oven and fry. Test with straw and if thoroughly done, eat plank. Imitation Prune Pie Take a dozen knot holes and pare carefully. Remove the shells and add a cup of sugar. Stir briskly and put in hot oven. Bake gently for six hours and immediately serve cold with tea wafers. Baked Beans Take as many buttons as the family can afford and remove the thread. Add pure spring water. Put in a sauce pan and stir gently till you burst the buttons. Add a little flour to calm them and let them sizzle. Serve with tomato sauce or molasses. Oatmeal Pudding Take the sawdust carefully from a freshly caught board and remove the husks. Add water and let it come to a boil. Stir quickly for two hours and then rest awhile. Pour the contents into saucepan and saturate with salt, sugar and other spices. Serve without splashing it and add a little cold water painted white to look like milk. Apple Fritters First catch your fritter. Be sure it is a young fritter. The way to tell the age of a fritter is to count its teeth. Remove the shell and add a pitcher of apple sauce. Place in a sauce pan and tease it with a pinch of white salt. Let it simper two hours. Serve hot and smile rapidly while eating. Laughing always aids digestion. Pity the teachers-they need it. One of our English pedagogues recently said to a student: Are you good at translation? Yes. Why? Then you may help me correct these papers. He called upon a teacher To ask her for her handg His heart was all aflutter, He had lost most of his sand. He dropped upon his knees, On this great eventful nightg She looked at him and then she said, Please rise when you recite. THE POLY 165 0.

If you reach home at night the old dog may think you are a tramp and proceed to treat you accordingly. Also it is possible that the family has moved. If you should happen to reach home at night you must first make sure that you have reached the right house and then walk boldly in. It will not be necessary to sneak in be- cause there will not be a professor there to bawl you out for overstaying your pass and for missing a class. Use your front porch for a listening post. You may hear father discussing what the family has been up against since you were away. They may also be criticising you, Open the door and go right in and spring some greeting in a foreign language to show that you have learned something at Poly. Go upstairs as soon as you can get away from your friends and see if the family has discovered that little thing on your closet shelf that you intended to hide before you left for school. You can then go softly down to the phone and call your sweetheart and see if she recognizes your voice. If she don't you may learn something new. After your nerves are again quieted down from the news you received over the tele- phone go into the room where the folks are discussing you and tell them some of your ex- periences at school. Don't forget those little tricks you pulled. If you never got into any excitement you are perfectly at liberty to make up some experience. Introduce a few of the French phrases you learned at school. Tell the folks that you are very Pomme De Terre to get home again and that the old town looks very Cafe Au Lait. When you go upstairs to go to bed you may seem a trifle unfamiliar, but you will soon get accustomed to your new surroundings. That large white object in the corner of the little room is a bathtub. Father will gladly show you how to use it. That big brass look- ing affair in the middle of the room is a bed. It is meant to sleep in. After you have care- fully removed the dry goods from off your body you can climb into it Cnot under itj. You had better close your door before going to sleep as you might talk in your sleep and men- tion some of your school professors. When you hear the rooster crowing in the morning don't jump out of bed and dress. It is not the bugle and if you are not dressed in five minutes you will not get thrown into the irrigation ditch. When you go downstairs for breakfast don't stand in the corner and wait. There is a chair for everyone, including yourself. Don't be afraid to sit down on it. It will hold you and no one will be there to pull it out from under you just as you sit down. That piece of white cloth rolled up in a ring is not your diploma. It is only a napkin. If you are at loss as to what to ask for, wait till it comes around and then help your- self like a pig. Remember that lard is not the real name for butter, and sky-juice is not the real name for water, and besides, your mother might be insulted if you should call her coffee dish water. It is most polite to say please pass me so and so. You are probably accustomed to saying shoot but you do not have to make a class in three min- utes, so it is not necessary to have it come so fast.

If thou dost not like the Poly, move out quicklyg if circum- stances wil not permit this, then hold still thy tongue. II Thou shalt get well acquainted with thy student neighbor, and treat him as thou 1 wouldst be treated. III Thou shalt do thy part in keeping the campus clean and enjoyable to live on. Thou shalt not let thy filth accumulate in thy room nor under thy bed. I IV Thou shalt rightly belong to one of the societies or organizations of the Poly, for who desireth a school without societies or school spirit. V If thy name or the names of thy friends be not mentioned in the school paper, The Polygraph, lay not thy blame upon the editor or the staff thereof. Thou didst likely for- get to tell him of thy uprising and doings and the coming of thy friends. Be not deceivedg the editor is all ears and anxious to get all the news and thou oughtest to help him. VI When thou buyest thy merchandise, go thou to stores that are friends of thy school and that advertise in thy school paper or Annual Book. They helped you to put your school life in print, so help them in their business. VII Thou shalt not laugh loudly at the table, for thou digesteth thy food too quickly thereby, and behold, food is not plentiful in the land of Polytechnic. VIII Thou shalt not skip chapel, though the prayers thereof be long and the sermon boreth thee to extinction, neither shalt thou count by thy watch the minutes of the prayer, nor Wind thy Watch during the time of it. Yea, though it runneth down, thou shalt not wind it up again, until the prayer shall be done, shalt thou not Wind it. IX 1 Thou shalt not cut classes, for it is as though a man buyeth a ticket to the next town and boardeth not the train that would take him thereto. X Thou shalt love thy school and honor her banner, as thou dost the country in which thou livest, for verily God hath given thee the best nation and school that the sun shineth , upon.

Lano: A couple of weeks? Schrupp: I should say not. A couple cars.

The head, the hand, the heart are the great trinity. The proper combinltion of the knowing, the doing, and the loving of truth and affection, gives immortal power. We need machines, but behind the machines must be a trained hand and an artist's tastes. In our factory, skilled mechanics convert the raw material into every-day articles of utility and beauty. When you see one of our hat bands or belts or gun scabbards or golf bags, or bill books or saddles, you see articles whose beauty and good taste set the user apart. Our hand-made flower carved grips attract at- tention without condem- nation. They give the owner the satisfaction that comes with the ex- pressed admiration of all who see them. Have you got yours?

Claude Ryerson out of sorts. Everybody subscribing to the Polygraph. Can you? Prof. Anderson: You should be ashamed of yourself, you ignorant child. Why, when George Washington was your age he was out making his living by filling the position as surveyor. Minor Durbin: Yes, and more than that, when he was your age he was President of the United States. Miss Driver, at Choral Society: Rinaldi, Why don't you open your mouth and help out a little by singing? Renaldi: At the top of this line it said, 'Refrainf Cross: Does Margaret Swears ever say anything dove-like about me? Alice Kennedy: Yes. She told me once that you were pigeon-toed.

Anyone caught laughing at any article ap- pearing in this column will be arrested and punished to the full extent of the ten com- mandments. Kiehlbauch: Bent is certainly in love with Mable, ain't he?,' Eva Martin: I should say so. Why, he hasn't left her for a single minute ever since school started last fall. Keihlbauch: I sure would call that dee-votion. Eva Martin: I wouldn't. It looks more like paralysis. Shorey: Where do you live, Broady? Broady: Montana Shorey: What part? Broady: All of me, of course, you darn fool. There was a fat boy called Harold, Who smoked cigarettes in a barrel, He stuck up his head And nearly fell dead, For there stood Rev. McCarroll. Sullivan: Why is a dog in a refrige- rator like kissing a pretty girl? Edith Smirl: I don't know, why? Sullivan: It is doggone nice. There was a young guy called Bent, To Kimball Hall he went, He found there a girl, With a pretty black curl, And now all his money is spent. Edna Johnson, bawling out Orlo Wig- gins: And furthermore, you don't need to go and tell everybody that my teeth are like stars just because they always come out at night. Corletta Kurtz: Say, Hazelton, will you show me how to whistle? Hazelton: That's easy. Just make a hole in your face and push the air out. Young is something like a sausage, Very smooth upon the skin, But you never know exactly How much life there is within. SPASM NUMBER TWO To be read by those who obeyed the rules regarding Spasm No. 1. This, smiled Alice Kennedy, as she handed Clayton Taylor a dish of pudding, is cottage pudding. I made it myself at domestic science today. Then after Clayton had tasted it: I would have known it was cottage pudding without you telling me. Would you ? asked Alice, delightedly. Yes, replied Friend Taylor, you can easily taste the paste and wall paper. Rankin, buying railroad ticket to go home: Twelve dollars for that ticket? Why, when I went home a month ago it was only eleven dollars. Ticket Agent: But you know that the price of paper has advanced since then. Stranger: Who is that slangy fellow? Crouter: Oh, he is our teacher of cor- rect American English. It has only been a hundred years, Since a wilderness stood here, And man with powder in his gun Went out in search of deer. But now since time has changed so much, And along a different plan, A dear with powder on her nose, Starts forth to hunt a man. 1,4 One plus one equals one. I'll say it does, in the Leitner-Terrell world anyway. Dunkin was a gentleman's name, Who can boast of great basket ball fame, He can glide over the floor And boost high the score, Till his rivals look terribly tame. Tyner Allen: What did that girl from town wear out here to the dance. Emil Junior: Not much of anything. Allen: t'Well, can't you describe her gown? Junior: Well, it had no sleeves, no neck, no back, and the less you say about the rest of it the better off we will be. A notorious expression heard at chapel: A word to the wise is sufficient.
