Because of the beautiful pano- rania of nature in the snow-clad l392II'l'UOll1 Mountains of the Bee- hive Ranch, and because of the ma- jestic diginity and grace of our campus and buildings, We dedicate nur theine to their ever changing splendor. To the man who has forwarded the ideals of youth and ambition and crowned them with an example of sacrifice and love for the Billings Polytechnic Institute, we dedicate this year book to Mr. Charles J. Chapple. CAMPUS BUILDINGS 1 51 Ar, 5, 'QfX1-Q K ' kg K ' ' ii9?

I' 5 l x 4 4 f ifitl-iff 1 'B T IS practically impossible to say which one of the professions or trades affords the greatest opportunities, or how much a man may reasonably expect to earn in a special calling. Even in the crowed field of medicine there are men who make 3425.000 a year: and there are lawyers who earn as much. One of these high-paid physicians might have made a poor lawyer, and a lawyer earning fH425,lJ0O a year might never earned more than 32,500 in the medical field. Successful men do well because they are in the work for which they are fitted, and because they devote themselves zealousy to it.

The only requisite is that you shall have faith in yourself. start right, start at one, and keep everlastingly at it. America owes its discovery to the fact that Columbus had the courage to start sailing West, and to sail on and on until he reached the land that he be- lieved to exist westward. No ship ever reached its port by sailing for a doz- en other ports at the same time.

Page Seventy-seven illh POLY 'SEV Social SCISIICCS The Social Science department is under the supervision of Dean Daniel Ward with the help of Professor Arthur W. Seebart. Professor Guy L. Barnes, who has recently become President of Kidder College, Kidder, Missouri, was another professor keenly interested in this branch of study. The increasing importance of social studies is strongly felt by all who have an active part in education. , The branches offered in the courses at the Polytechnic are American History and Civics, Sociology, Psychology and ,DEAN lJixNi1-:L XVARD ECOll0ll1lCS. In the Academy the emphasis is centered upon American History and Fivies, with the effort to gain an intelligent and accurate knowledge of the facts of history, and the desire to explain the expressions by which the American people have evolved those ideas and ideals with which they face the problems of today. In the Junior College these same subjects are pursued but from a different view point. Here, in a study of the development of the American Nation and of Human Relations. the major social institutions are considered, , - various forms of commuity life are dis- I cussed, with great stress laid upon gov- ernment as an instrument by which our great social problems may be solved. Not so much a narrative of events, is the study of History, but a descrip- tion of movements and forces which have left their impress upon the na- tional character and institutions. In Economics, a careful study of the na- ture, scope' characteristics, and evolu- tion of economic society is made, the emphasis being placed on the funda- mentals of production, price, and dis- tribution. GUY L. BARNES Page Seventy-eight 4 n POLY II X 'qgv - Mathematical Science The Department of College Math- ematics aims to provide a thorough practical foundation for an engineering training and at the same time meet the requirements of the first and second years of College Mathematics courses. This assures full credit from other schools for those students who may plan to continue their Work for a Bach- elor's Degree. The College Junior Mathematics is broken up into three semesters: the first, a course in College Algebra, the second, Plane and Spherical Geometry, and lastly, a quarter devoted to Plane WILLIAM R. BUTLER and Solid Analytical Geometry. The College Senior Mathematics includes Differential and Integral Calculus with an introduction to Dif- ferential Equations. The course generally continues throughout the year. Mr. William R. Butler has charge of the mathematics courses. Miss Emma N. Johnson and Daniel Ward aid by teaching Algebra and Continu- ation Courses in Arithmetic. James Elkin teaches Plane Geometry. Page Seventy-nine KIM POLY '53, 1 ,7 , idTl'Dl5NTt4 AT XVORK IN PHYSICS LABORATORY Science Department The Science Department, due to the planning of Professor Fremont Dixon through the years, has been developing, improving, and equipping its laboratories so that, now, we are proud of them. Last year at new chemistry bench that would accomodate sixty students working in groups of thirty, was added and this year another similar bench of the same student capacity has been placed in the labora- tory. This is only one example of the extending and enlarging that has been going on in the Lab upstairs. The Science Department again this year, was requested by the St. Vincent Hospital of Billings, to offer a special course in College General Chemistry for their nurses. The number of girls enrolled in Chemistry shows that members of the fairer sex are determined to invade our tech- nical fields in the near future. The Botany Class, under Miss Lake, had their work much augmented by the new microscope slides which were added to the Botany Laboratory equipment. These slides show the representative plants from the smallest one-celled spirogyra to the gymnosperms. Page Fighty gil ,--'- 4 '4-T flie POLY :say Nrasiss AT WORK IN CHEMISTRY LABORATORY Many out-of-doors hikes and field trips have enabled students in General Science, Biology, and College Botany classes to study science out of their class rooms. Practical tests have also been made in our work for the school and for parties outside the school. The City Water Department of Billings asked the Science Department to devise a set of water color standards so that by comparing a sample of water with these standards a person could determine the amount of sediment in the water. They were devised and are now in use by the city. The Russell Oil Company made a valuable contribution to our sup- plies and equipment by donating many chemicals, and several valuable pieces of laboratory apparatus among which was a fine delicate balance for quantitative analysis. Some preliminary work in oil analysis has been done in the laboratory by Mr. Dixon and some of the students, and a course in petroleum an- alysis may be developed by the department through these researches.

He teaches auto-mechanics and supervises the auto shop. It is up to him and his class to keep the campus automobiles, trucks, busses, tractors and farm machinery in good rfondition and on the job. Page Eighty-three 69 English Professor Aikens, as head of the English Department, has charge of all English classes, although he is aided in the actual teaching by Mrs. Eva Mackenzie. Both Mr. Aikens and Mrs. Mackenzie approve of and use the Contract System. This system al- lows the student to progress as rapidly as he is able to. No longer is the quick student idle while the slow one struggles to learn and skips to keep up. Good grammar and good literature are L1NCoLN J. AIKENS Journalism The Journalism class this year was composed of students more or less familiar with newspaper writing from former experience. Miss Ione Lake was in charge of the class and the publica- tion of the school paper, the UPOLY- f:RAPH. Such features as: News Writ- ing, Editing, Headline VVriting, News- paper Makeup as well as a study of the Libel Law of Montana were studied. The Journalists were a group quite en- vied by the rest of the students, they always had the news before anyone else and their mode of gossip was the paper. Page Eighty-four both equally stressed. IONE LAKE Speech Arts Nearly 100 students have been enrolled in the various Speech Arts courses offered at the Polytechnic dur- ing each of the past two years. As rapid- ly as they show sufficient skill, the stud- ents in all the classes are given oppor- tunities to gain actual experience by taking part in such events as chapel services, entertainments, literary so- ciety programs, debates, after-dinner speaking at banquets, commencement exercises and other public appearances of various kinds. The institute has come to depend upon the various members of these classes to take a leading part ARTHUR W. SEEBART in providing talent for the many ex- cellent literary and forensic projects which are sponsored here during the course of a year. To summarize our training, we, as students, would say: Professor Seebart has trained us to speak in a clear, forceful self- expression. He has taught us to think logically. He has taught us to be dignified and self-confident. He has even taught us part of the English language and how to use it. Dramatic Arts The major project of the Drama Class, which meets twice a week throughout the year, has been the writing and production of a three act original play entitled, That Man Washingtonf' The development of the plot, the creation of the characters, the costuming, casting and staging, etc., were all handled by members of the class, working under the direction of their instructor, Prof. A. W. Seebart. This year's class work has been divided into three outstanding phases with the first quarter's work centered around the study of plays and emin- ent play writersg the second quarter dealing with the technique of play productiong and the third quarter devoted to the Writing and presenta- tion of a three-act original play. In the third quarter the club also pre-- sented Lillian Mortimer's The Girl Who F orgotn. Page Eighty-five fllh POLY 1539 Foreign Languages Foreign languages taught. at the Polytechnic are three in number: Latin, Geiinan and Spanish. Mrs. Mackenzie is the professor of the Latin and Ger- man while Miss Florence Shirk teaches Spanish. Through the patient teaching of Mrs. Mackenzie many students have lc'1u'ned the real Worth of the study of linguages and the pleasure derived tgom their mastery. Many students from these classes have becoe so interested in the litera- ture of both the Ancient Latin and the EVA AIARNJN 1IAgKENZ1pg Modern German that they have been reading it outside of the class work. Besides her work in Foreign Languages, Mrs. Mackenzie teaches Eng- lish and is the director ot' the Senior Play and Class Night entertainments. Her English classes include a thorough study of Shakespeare's plays, Greek Literature and C'reative Writing. Since Mrs. Mackenzie has been at the Polytechnic. she has always been Senior Class Sponsor. In the Class Will this year she was willed the sponsorship of all Senior classes while she remains here. With her usual faithfulness and thoroughness she accepts the responsibility of the Class Play and all other Senior activities: she is more than director, she is manager, supervisor and critic, and by her high ideals for work and study, she helps to mould the characters of her stud- ents into something finer and higher than they could ever attain without her influence. Page Eighty-six flln POLY 1537 Physical Education EV The physical education program o t' the Polytechnic was started this yea for the first time. In former years great- est stress was laid on the teams them- selves. but a need has been recognized to give every student a chance to dc- velop his talents, whether these talents are exceptional or not, and to build aut' exercise muscles which would receive no attention in ordinary living. Physical education is a contribution to education. The general objectives of the course are the development of the mental. physical. ethical and moral j qualities in the student. To obtain these objectives of Phys- HERBERT J. ITLINDT ical Education. two classes meeting each week gives the student formal and informal training. The class is divided into two parts, the first period taken over in formal activities and the last part in informal activities. The first part of the program consists of calisthenics and marching. while the latter part consists of games such as wrestling, basketball, volley ball, indoor baseball, etc. The Physical Education program is a very important field of educa- tion and we might say enters into all the general objectives of education. The classes under Mr. Harper and Mr. Russell now number over one hun- dred and twenty-five students. The girls program consists of two meetings a. week in which games are the objectives. Basketball seemed to have more interest for the girls' classes than any other game, while volley ball, under the direction of Mrs. Klindt, is second.

A 350- acre farm, one of the best in Yellowstone county, is owned near the campus and operated by student help. SHOCKING WHEAT Every effort is made to keep abreast with the best and most modern in agricultural methods. A large stock ranch is likewise maintained at Beehive on the upper Stillwater. The Polytechnic Institute's entire dairy herd is at present on the campus farm. This herd consists of one hundred head of Holsteins with four or five crosses of good blood. Many young men who have desired to study the dairy business, and at the same time earn part of their expenses while in school, have been employed in this department. For the past two years the department has employed an average of five boys three to five hours each day. 1 Page Eighty-eight ms Pour -ear Hog' Raising Une of the most important branches of the Agricultural department iw that of hog raising. Mr. Hoerr, who took charge of the swine herd in 1029 has made a name for his department in developing one of the best droves in the state. This drove at present is furnishing stock for the foun- dation for many herds in this region, besides taking prizes at hog shows. Poultry The poultry department is one of the small growing industries of the Polytechnic. It started with one large house and now has six houses, three large winter quarters. and three brood- ers. It was built up slowly because every industry should warrant its own growth. The foundations are now laid and by careful culling and selecting, in a short time there will be a flock of birds surpassed by few. This depart- ment now enables two boys to earn their - --- expenses and is able to provide employ- ment for a larger number. The Polytechnic poultry depart- ment is building up a strong foreign market and a reputation for producing strong, large birds of high produc- tive capacity. Gaoaoii Cxmiaek Apiary The Polytechnic apiary is going through the same difficulties as are being experienced by the bee industry throughout the state. Several boys. through knowledge and experience gained in this de- partment have been able to secure positions at a higher wage than other- wise could have been obtained. A large part of the output from the apiary is used in the dining hall. Students show by the amount they consume, that they never grow tired of this particular sweet.

BUILDING D URING CONSTRUCTION Construction The past year has been a very busy one for the Construction Gang. With Herman Carlson as foreman, the crew, which at times consisted of as many as twenty-five boys of the self-help department, undertook and completed several large jobs. Among these being the moving of A Dorm, and the tearing down of old B Dorm. After razing B, the lum- ber was hauled to the barn where it was used to build a shelter for the stock that would otherwise have had to stay out in the winter storms. During the winter holidays the crew went to work in the shop and made windows and doors for the addition to the engineering building. Other than these projects, there have been a great many small jobs done in the shop and around the campus that keep the crew busy at all times. Weather makes no difference to the Gang The shed at the barn was built during some of the coldest weather of the winter. In this department a boy with a little ambition can learn a great deal if he will only be attentive. Besides this the work furnished a means of partial support for several boys while going to school. Page Ninety Auto Shop During the course of the year, thirty-five boys were instructed by Mr. Carl Aldrich in the art of manipulating a tractor or truck over the various sec- tions of the Poly grounds. Trips to Bee-- hive were made with stock, supplies and provisions. All the farm plowing, leveling. ex- cavating of basements for the new buildings and swimming pool, the haul- ing of the gravel and lumber for con-- struction was accomplished by the fleet of Poly trucks and tractors. Moving the cottage building, dorm from the old site to the present CARL K- ALDRICH one was one of the heavy projects suc- cessfully accomplished by the auto-mechanics during the past year. Irrigation Keeping the lawns and gardens watered is a project which requires a great deal of student labor in the summer. The water is brought down in small ditches from the Big Ditch, and from main ditches is allowed to run through the fields in small trenches. Mr. Gustafson is in charge of the project. with George Haaland acting as student foreman and Cletus Walsh supervising the irrigation of the lawns.

Matt will get out his tools, gather his crew and begin cutting stone for tae new addition to the Gymnasium. From the Rimrocks have come the stone for nearly all the buildings on the campus. Matt claims the distiction of having all the stones for Prescott commons from one enormous rock at the rim's base. Matt was born in Austria. With his father, a government official, he traveled widely about Europe. At the age of seven- teen he was superintending a corps of three hundred fift.y men in an engineering job. Then forty-one years ago, he crossed the MATT MARSHALL ocean to America where he has remained SVG? SiUC9- Matt has been With the Polytechnic for twenty-three years. Page Ninety-two The Electricians The Electric Shop employs the help of six students working at the Lab- oratory and outside. to learn the trade of Electrician. Mr. Butler is in charge of the department and instructs the students in their work. All the wiring on the campus was accomplished by this department. The notable projects completed this year are: the re-wiring of the Conservatory. installing foot and stage lights on the Chapel stage, installing electric outlets and switches in the different buildings placing new lights in the gymn, wiring the chicken houses and repairing the WILLIAM Rl. BUTLER lighting systems on the campus. The Wooclshop The woodshop has played an important part in keeping the fixtures of the Polytechnic in shape. Ender expert supervision of T. O. Rickman and Herman Carlson, the new boy's dormitory was equipped with the best furniture that oak will build. The building of the chairs, tables and dressers for the building comprised the summer's work of Williaiii Taylor and Herbert Bonifas, two of the students mastering the art of cabinet making. All wood-repair work for any of the buildings, furniture or fixtures was a project for the woodshop and its members of Woodworkers. Many new projects of furniture, doors, windows, bookcases, lampstands, foot,- stools and any number of necessities for college buildings were manufac- tured from raw lumber in the shop. A special display of modern furniture and house decorations was designed, built and decorated in the wood- shop. This exhibit was placed at the Midland Empire Fair in the fall. Page Ninety three The Print Shop l The Print Shop, under the super- vision of L. M. Prill, has been extend- ing its field of work and taking on larg- er jobs. During the year it has been regularly printing the Polygraph, the Congregationalist. Polytechnic Bulle- tins, Beehive Bulletins and finally the Annual itself. Laverne Hess has handled the most of the Linotype composition, while presswork has had the attention of Guy Troup. -Both boys are experienced printers and do all kinds of work con- nected with a printing plant. Ray L. M. PRILL Pickering, Stanley Swenson and Don- ald Herbert complete the force. The printing plant is acknowledged to be a very well equipped de- partment and it was brought to this state of completion very gradually During the first years of the school a small job press capable of printing a page 8x12 inches in size was secured. A few fonts of type was the rest of the equipment. Today one of the latest model Linotypes equipped with a Monomelt vies with the display type in the composing room. In the pressroom are four presses of various types-an 8x12 platen press and a 10x15 platen press are used in printing the smaller jobs. A late model Century two- revolution press which will print book forms 301444 inches in size now takes the place of a Potter cylinder press with a capacity of 24x32 inches. The binding of the 1932 Annual is to be done by students under the direction of Miss Emma Johnson. This is the first attempt at doing this class of work, although Miss Johnson took a course in the art of bookbind- ing some years ago.

' f 5 MmtBERs or TDRABIATICS CLUB Dramatics Club The Drama Club, an organization in which membership is open to all students interested in the various phases of dramatics, has provided a channel of self-expression for a great many students. The club meets twice a month during the autumn and winter quarters of the school. Since practically all of its members are participants in the numerous dramatic productions during the spring quarter, no attempt is made to hold regular meetings. Several excellent research papers have been presented before the club during the past year. All the members have also had the opportunity to gain actual experience in dramatics by participation in the various dra- matic entertainments given this year. Among the one-act plays present- ed the following are representative, namely: The Marriage Proposal by Tchekov, coached by Miss lone Lakeg A Comedy of Danger by Hughes, coached by Mr. A. W. Seebart and Company for Mrs. Gilchrist by An- gus. coached by Mrs. Eva Mackenzie: and A Case in Suspension, coached by Mr. A. W. Seebart. The club also presented Marion Short's Only Me as well as numerous i'skits and playlets prepared for various occasions. The club has continued under the sponsorship of its organizers, Professors Arthur W. Seebart and Eva Mackenzie. Page Ninety nine mt Pour -sae Mr. A. W. Seebart, coach, Harold Drange, Zilpha Keys, John McConnachie, Wm. Peay Debate The school year 1931-32 opened without a single seasoned debater en- rolled. The challenge of this situation was accepted by the Arts Depart- ment and after considerable testing a class of inexperienced, but prom- ising material was secured. Development was rapid and the skill shown by these amateurs of the art, in both the opening and subsequent clashes of the season, was a surprise to everyone. Both the affirmative and negative teams gave an excellent account of themselves in their contests with such teams as the Dickinson Normal School, the Eastern Montana Normal, the Intermoun- tain Union College and the State College teams. The national fraternity question: Resovled, that Congress should enact legislation providing for the centralized control of industry, was the subject debated throughout. the season. From the very first, the student body took a deep interest in these contests and loyally supported their teams. Hard and persistent work, coupleil with skillful coaching, has resulted in the production of some very promising material for the next school year. Page One Hundred ' ' ,-31,41 r , .4,,'-.

Present officers of the society are: Mary Perry, presidentg Lucille Wagner. vice-pres.g Louise Wold, secretary-treasurer. Through their weekly meetings the girls plan to acquaint themselves with literary and artistic works. and by their formal study to at- tain poise and social presence in talking or act- ing before others. Fineness of character and ac- tion is one of the club's ambitions. Several of the meetings were devoted to etiquette. Mrs. E. T. Eaton aided in illustrat- RIARY PERRY ing different rules of conduct before the Soci- ety. Much time was given to the study and piactice of Parlimentary rules. Each meeting was conducted according to the rules of order, even the Backward Meeting held in the spring, at which the meeting was closed before it was started and at the end it was called to order. The literary work of the society this year has been an extensive study of plays. recitations, stories and poems. The girls have all contributed to the study by reading, explaining and recounting biographies. The society has also several fine entertainments to its credit. Among them: a cafeter- ia birthday dinner, a valentine party, a theater party to see Seth Parker at the Fox in Billings and in the spring the traditional lawn party. The evening for the lawn party promised fair. The lawn east of Kim- ball was decorated with flowers and lights, a lattice fence entwined with flowers framed the entrance. In the center of the amphitheater stood a stand for refreshments. All went well as planned until the sky darkened and a cool breeze blew up. Then rain fell and the guests scattered.

Its object is to train its members in the correct etiquette of public appearance and address, to provide opportunity for its members to compete in literary work, and to unite its members in a close fellowship. The present officers this year are: Pat Taugher, presidentg John Venrick, vice-presidentg Darrel Doolen, secretaryg Sylvester Hillyer, treas- urerg and Harold Drange, historian. Professor Aikins has been the sponsor of the society for the past two years.

Klindt, took charge of the Polytech- nic athletics in the summer of 1931, he had the task of completing an entire new schedule. At such a late date, it was hard to get games, and only thru his untiring efforts was Klindt able to make an attractive schedule. The call for football material brought about thirty gridders to the fall training camp at Beehive. From a nucleus of five letter men, and thi rest green material, Klindt and Harper set work to build one of the finest teams Polytechnic has ever produced. The squad remained at Beehive for a two COACH HERBERT J. ITLINDT weeks training period, where they rus- tled logs, built cabins and began primary workouts for the coming season. Practice continued at the Rimrock field after the squad returned from Beehive. Throughout the season there were over twenty-five players report- ing regularly for evening practice. When the first call was sent out for basketball material by Coach Har- per, over twenty-five men reported for practice. Most the men were new, there being only two letter men in the group, Taylor and Girnus. A number of ex-high-school stars reported and among them were such players as Murdo of Red Lodge, Formo of Malta, Rogers of Crow Agency and E. Harris of Har- din. By the end of the season Coach P T Burn Harper had shaped an exception- COACH BER HARPER ally fine team. Page One Hundred Nine -fllt POLY 'SEV ' l Front Row: K. Daley, R. Gentry, C. Knaff, W.

Jacovetta Varsity Football With only five regulars returning, around which to build the squad Coaches Klindt and Harper diligently set to work to build a powerful Crusader team. For several weeks the coaches and football men worked hard to find new players capable of filling the positions made vacant by the graduation of last year's regulars. However, after the team was completely organized, it proved worthy of past Polytechnic teams. During Commence- ment week the football men were awarded for their efforts to win games on icy fields in driving snow storms and for their diligent and steady prac- tice to perfect their plays, by Green and Gold sweaters and the school letter. Page One Hundred Ten 1 . Football History The Crusaders opened the season by playing the Billings Independ- ents. The Poly team showed a marked superiority over the Indees. At no time were they able to gain ground. Powerful line plays and not tricky strategy, made it possible for the Green and Gold warriors to push across the winning points for the final score of Poly 8, Independents 0. The second game was played with the Crusaders' old rivals, the Inter- mountain Union College Panthers at Helena. The teams met on the Hel- ena Wesllyan field and the Crusaders displayed a brand of football that was a great improvement over the previous game. Girnus and Gentry were the steady ground gainers for the home team. The final score was Poly 13, Intermountain 0. The third game of the season the Crusaders traveled to Bozeman to take a whack at the State College Freshmen. The game was disastrous for the Poly gridders who couldn't seem to get under way in any part of the game. The score was Bobkittens 39, Poly 0. The following week the Crusaders sought revenge when they met the Montana State College Reserves. In this game the Crusaders were able to sweep over the Bobcats with a score of 31-0. On November 21, the Bull- dogs of Montana Normal College of Dillon invaded the Poly camp. The Green and Gold were again the better of their rivals. The score, 33-6. The last and hardest fought game was played on Thanksgiving Day with the State School of Mines. Cy Walsh and Gifford Jones, playing their last game for the Poly played wonderful football. The Miners emerg- ed with a victory of 19-0 and the State Small College Championship. The 1932 team helped to perpetuate the remarkable record that has been in progress at the Poly for the last three years. Out of these only three games have been lost by the Green and Gold teams.

Varsity Basketball To win a letter in Basketball the player was required to be present at every practice unless excused by the coach and to play at least three Qqaines. Men who received letters in basketball this year Were: Murdo, Welch, Taylor, Rogers, Crosby, Girnus. Noel, and Formo. The eligibility rules for scholarship were the same as for football, a student must carry no fewer than twelve hours of work in school and maintain a passing grade in all his subjects. Besides the school work and practice required every day in the two major sports, most of the members of the teams were self- help students.

Intramural Athletics Intramural Athletics was devised this year to provide an opportunity for every Polytechnic boy to partake in the various sports which are likely to give preferance to the star athlete. To accomplish this purpose the Literary Societies chose from their members who had been practicing all year, the best players and challenged each other to a tournamnt. The Eagle team emerged victorius. In addition to Society games each self- help organization on the campus supported a team and played tournament games. N o member of the Varsity squad was allowed to play on intramur- al teams.

It was first produced by Miss Ruth Hansen who also wrote the manuscript. Despite the fact that there was not enought time this year, it will be produced in future years and con- tinued as one of the valuable and delightful traditions of the school. A natural amphitheatre has been developed up under the Rims providing room for the properties and actors, and space around for spectators. The entire student body takes part. and it is hoped that the next production can be made in the evening instead of the afternoon. Under artificial light- ing the spectacle would become more real and still more glamorous and beautiful.

Names are drawn sometime before at, Chapel to assure everyone a present and Santa and all his helpers are there to distribute them. After the persents are received Miss Clark brings forth apples and candy and someone suggests games or dances. This party is always an important one, as it is the last before the students part for the vacation. Student Mixer and Junior Prom The first party of the year is the student mixer. All the new students are then acquainted with the old and some of the first shyness of meeting strange people is worn away. Parties continue each month throughout, the year and are climaxed with the most important event of the term. the Junior Prom. This year the dining hall was beautifully decorated, and the girls in their new chiffons made a lovely picture of poise and grace, an attitude seldom found at the first party of the year. Page One Hundred Twenty-two Weiner Roast A traditional entertaimnent is the first party of the Eagle Society. This is usually in the form, of a lYeiner Roast and is held up on the Rims. It was held this year true to form, early in the fall when the crisp autumn air made roasted weiners taste especially good. This year the Pioneers reciprocated with an outdoor party in front of their cabin. Bors ON XVEINER RoAsT Burial of Class Records A new tradition was begun this year when the 1932 graduating class gathered together a history of all their activities during their time at the Polytechnic, sealed them in a glass container and buried them at the site of the Losekamp Memorial tablet. Members of the faculty were invited to speak, for the burial was part of the dedication execises of Losekamp tablet which was erected by the class as a gift to the school. Athletic Contests After the Eagles took the Basketball Tournament they experienced a feeling of athletic superiority which might partially account for the fact that when the Faculty-Student Baseball game came up, the students were badly licked. The Pioneers then came to the front and Won the basket- ball game with the Eagles. After that the Eagles piled up the laurels, winning the Tug-of-War, the Track Meet, Debate, Boxing and FACULTY-STUDENT BAsEBALL GAME Wrestling matches.

Mr. and Mrs. James lil. Graves, pioneers of the great West, forty years ago, selected this spot on the Stillwater for their permanent home. They came to the evening of life without children to whom they could bequeath their property. Their homestead was too sacred to leave to strangers and they most generously deeded it to the Billings Polytechnic Institute. It is now one of the few college-owned boy's camps in the country. Beehive ranch is thirty miles northeast of the Yellowstone Park and 78 miles from Billings, and is in the heart of the Dude Ranch country of the north- west, as well as centering many of the historic spots of the frontier life of Mon- tana.

Five miles below the camp is the hunting grounds of the Indians of the early days. Myriads of arrow- heads and Indian relics can be found on the hillsides and in the valley. Signal point is a high peak of rock three miless south of the camp of Bee- hive and was used as a lookout of the Indians in scouting for game or en- emies. This peak is still used by tourists in viewing the surrounding country. At the camp. rustic cabins of pi11e logs make up the living quarters. The cabins are furnished with comfortable equipment of rustic material and construction. Bath and shower buildings are conveniently located about the grounds, they are modern in every respect and are supplied with hot and cold water. A large central building of log construction serves as a dining hall. social center, postoffice, and store. Fresh vegetables from the ranch garden, dairy products from the ranch herd, chickens and eggs from the ranch poultry yard, supply the table with fresh foods. The drink- ing water is piped from a mountain spring far up the , p side of one of the near- 9- M ' by mountains. A swimming pool is nearby for those who enjoy the mountain water plunges. Horseback riding is one of the chief attractions of the ranch.

The pack trip to Cook Pity is one of the thrilling events of the camp visitors. The famous old frontier town is the same as it was in the days of Buffalo Bill and receives its visitors in the same Old West fashion. Horses and equipment used in these trips are supplied by the camp and guides of expert ability accompany all trips into the mountains.

The campfire at the close of day is the meeting place of everyone to sing songs, tell stories, and be amused by the old West. The Stillwater river is noted for its abundant supply of trout. For many years the streams in this section of the P I P1 mountains have been stocked by the State of A i Montana with Lochleven, Rainbow and Native trout. Beehive ranch is a private fishing reserve for two miles along the river, and is one of the most popular stopping places for fishermen from the surrounding cities of the state. The Ranch is operated under the direct con- trol of the Billings Polytechnic Institute, and offers many enjoyable outings to the students of the school. Many are able to earn their way throuhg the Institution by their work during the summer months at Beehive. The boy's camp in RANCH HUVSE the summer, stands as a monument for a perfect manhood. Here the boys learn and study in close harmony with nature, receiving the needs of every growing youth. Providing for the boys of the Midland Empire a wholesome camping experience in the rugged, healthfully rich outdoors, Camp Chief Plenty Coos is conducted at Beehive, for two weeks in the summer. The Camp, named for the Chief of the Crow Indian Tribe, is sponsored by the Polytechnic, V and is under the direction of Paul Grace. of Pittsburgh, Pa. The staff for last summer included Morris Wright, William Farnum, Robert Movius, Ronald Baker, Fremont Dixon and J. E. Mapes. Camp Chief Plenty Coos is the most thoroughly equipped camp for boys in Eastern Montana.

In the fall of 1909 the money, donated by the City of Billings, was put into use and work was begun on the foundation. Many students have since attended classes in this dignified edifice, delving into the myS- teries of the sciences and seeking knowledge in the school's Well stocked laboratories. I . To those first students and to those who labored so fait.hfully in its completion, the building has a symbolic meaning. It was the first step toward the realization of the wondrous dreams upon which the Polytechnic Institute was founded. The day it was finished was a happy one for the Eatons for they saw their hopes and plans actually being carried out. Science Hall has been used as an administration building as Well as for the study of science, but soon a building for administration offices will also be constructed. The Science Hall will then be turned over en- tirely to the study of science. It has also been planned to refinish Science Hall in an architectural design similar to the other new buildings on the campus. Then it will be one of the most beautiful buildings in the state as it is now one of the most useful. Page One Hundred Thirty one k'P1lf. W. Pnsscofrr C.'oMMoNs-DINING HALL Prescott Commons Prescott Commons is named for Amos L. Prescott of New York who gave ten thousand dollars toward its erection. There had been a pressing need for a larger dining hall with more modern conveniences for a con- siderable time. In the spring of 1916 the Commons was opened for use. To-day the meals are served in the fore-part of the building, and the room formerly used as the dining room is now used as the kitchen. A number of modern conveniences help to make the cooking of meals more efficient and economical. Prescott Commons was designed and erected almost entirely by the self-help students in the manual training department, under the supervi- sion of Prof. W. H. Comstock, the instructor of manual training at that time. In the Polytechnic Annual of 1916, we read of Prescott Commons: The outside work done by the boys has been of the most practical na- ture. A group of students completely framed and put in place all the floor joists, rough-flooring and set the windows in the new 320,000 dining hall. Furthermore they framed and erected the heavy roof trusses which are of the siccors type. also the rafters along with part of the roof boarding. Since that time students in his department have made all the furniture needed in the dining hall. Chairs and tables are the greatest items. All made of solid oak, they truly represent the skill in the wood-work acquired by these Polytechnic students in the manuel training department. There are in use today, twenty of these large tables and approximately 175 chairs.

' 'N 4 I ' 'V 'S ' ' 1 THE QiYLINA5Il'lNl o Gymnasium When the first buildings were planned and the grounds marked off for the foundations, a place was set apart for a gymnasium. The foundation of the gymnasium stood through the school years of 1909 and 1910 without a superstructure, but in the late fall of 1911, the demand for physical education became so urgent that money was secured to build a permanent floor and put up frame side-walls covered with build- ing paper to house the gymnasium. The building was far enough along to be dedicated on February Q. 1912, at the time of the second anniversary banquet. Senator W. B. George. a member of the Board of Trustees, de- livered the dedicatory address. The gymnasium has gradually evolved since its somewhat temporary and hurried construction. In 1917 a maple floor was laid and the walls covered with siding. In 1924 the building was veneered with stone on the three sides and sealed on the inside. In the spring of 1931 a movement was started to have the building completely finished. Work was started in midsummer on the excavation necessary for an indoor swimming pool and the necessary dressing rooms. This side will be finished in stone, completing the work which has been so long in coming to an end. Considerable work has been undertaken on the inside of the building. Painting and the installation of new lights have greatly improved its in- terior appearance. Page One Hundred Thirty three fb POLY 'REV ...ma-. -M.- ,.w,.,,m..,.Wvp-vynn-,vpn-,,-.-Q ln, -zz.. DAIRY BARN AND S1Lo Polytechnic Farm The Polytechnic Farm was started at the beginning of the Institu- tion. Although it does not usually come to mind as the most impressive part of the Institute when the Polytechnic is mentioned it has truly served a great part in the growth and support of the school. It provides work for as high as one third of the boys at the Poly. depending upon the season. For a quarter of a centrury it has provided a greater part of the staple foods used at the Polytechnic. The farm was the basis for the establishment of the Agricultural courses. among the first to be laid out by our far-seeing educational lead- ers, the Eaton Brothers. They realize that the advantages for a fertile School Farm in the Yellowstone valley were limited. So it was that with the beginning of the Polytechnic Institute forty of the sixty acres of rich soil which had been donated to the Institute as a start, were set aside for farming. A bit of the history of the work that has been accomplished and of a small plot of land on the farms is given in the Poly Annual of 1915: Last year some seventeen acres were set aside under the direction of the Great Northern Railroad, as a dry land demonstration farm. These dry land crops proved a great success and the farm as a whole was con- ceded to be the best demonstration farm of some forty-five along the lines of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads. Page One Hundred Thirty-four In October, 1913. l James J. Hill donated 525,000 to the Insti- tute to be used in the purchase of some of the farm lands sur- r wunding the Poly- technic. One hundred acres of land joining t'te original school site on three sides were purchased with this money. - Still more addi- PRIZE CALF ti ans to the farm lands of the Polytechnic were made later with the purchase of 80 acres from a group of land-owners in the East and with another 80 acres purchased from Mr. Goss. All the land given the school by Lougee, except that where the Pioneer cabin and the surrounding trees stand, is under cultivation. There are also a number of gardens on the western part of the campus that are under the supervision of the Agricultural Department. This brings the land to be farmed in the coming year to a total of about 350 acres. The buildings of the farm are straight across the drive and south from Kenney Hall. The structures first noticeable from the driveway are the large white barn and the tall silo. The barn is very well equipped. Twenty cows are provided for with modern dairy equipment. The silo is built of concrete from ten feet below the surface of the ground to sixty feet in height. The arrangement of the buildings and the evident care which is taken in keeping the grounds clean and orderly give the farm of the Polytech- nic a very pleasing appearance.

A .4 gf CHAPEL A wonderful expansion of the Polytechnic department of Music was planned and it had been decided that no expense should be spared to pro- vide for its needs of the future. The wishes of Mr. Losekamp in this res- pect were carried out as far as possible. As a spot of architectural beauty this building of stone and sturdy oak is considered one of the finest on the Polytechnic campus. Its grandeur of beauty and style is revered and admired by everyone. At the present time the Conservatory building is somewhat divided in its services. The Polytechnic Library has been temporarily established there and the daily devotional services are held in the Recital Hall. However as the department of Music continues its expansion as fore- seen by Mr. Losekamp. the entire building is being gradually given over to its studios, its Recital Hall. Music Library and its practice rooms. The Polytechnic Library has been temporarily established left wing of the building on the first floor. The main part of the first floorg straight. back from the entrance hallway is fitted out as a recital hall for the use of all the teachers and students of music. It is here that Chapel, the daily devotinal services during the week and the Vesper services of Sunday afternoon are held. The hours have been so arranged that they will interfere with no recital programs. With the steady growth of the scope of study given at the Polytech- nic the basement of the Conservatory has also been pressed into service as a class room. A heavy partition now divides it into pleasant study rooms.

Mrs. Martha Kimball made the largest. contribution, 310,000 in all. It was in memory of her and her help that the dormitory was named Kim- ball Hall. In 1912 a real drive was started by the Polytechnic to raise money to build this dormitory. Only a little over a thousand dollars was raised the first year, but at the end of that time the directors of the Institute went bravely ahead and gave word to start the excavations for the base- ment of the building. A number of students earned their way through school and acquired a great deal of technical knowledge of building, paint- ing. plumbing and electrical wiring there. Many young women were made aware of the advantages and training to be received at the Polytechnic solely through the publicity given the school during this drive for money. It brought in a large surplus of girls in the fall of 1913. When school opened there were forty-two on hand the first week, living in a dormitory intended for only twenty. Yeti they lived there contented and happy for four months waiting for the new dorm- itory to be finished. Page One Hundred Thirty-eight 4 n POLY ll At the end of this time, on Sunday afternoon, Feb- ruary 1. 1914. the dedication ' of the building was held. The ...i.gf.'e. .1 E outstanding speaker of the exercises was Rev. H. C. Her- ring. D. D., of New York. His address was full of optim- ism as to the work of the ln- stitute and the place it was to have in the Northwest. Educational Director Lewis T. Eaton presided at the exercises and Ernest T. Eaton gave an explanation of the need for the building. Four members of the Board of Trustees also made short addresses concerning the future of the building. Rev. Gregory J. Powell. D.D.. gave the prayer of dedication and formally opened and turned the building over to the uses of the school. Looking at it from the outside Kimball Hall is unusually beautiful and impressive. being built of light gray sand-stone from the bluffs on the campus with its second story and gables having a cement stucco finish and an English half-timber effect. Architecturally this dormitory is said to be one of the finest in the country. Kimball Hall is thoroughly modern and convenient. having both hot and cold running water: steam heat and electric lights on all floors. Its present arrangement will accomodate sixty girls in large. pleasant rooms. The basement contains a model domestic science departmntg a society hall: a laundry and trunk room. There is a beautiful parlor and recep- tion room, bath rooms. spacious closets: music rooms and wide, pleasant hallways. The interior arrangement of Kimball Hall is ideal to produce convenience and comfort.

Kenney of Lakewood, New Jersey, contributed in his nienty-fifth year, five thousand dolars to the building of this dormitory. The foundations for Kenney Hall were practically conipleted in 1917, work was stopped early in the winter of that year and not resunied until the spring of 1918. Une of the special events of that year was the laying of the corner stone for the Hall. This corner stone was of the traditional Y. M. C. A. type with the triangle. the emblem of the associationg and the dormitory was set apart for Y. M. V. A. purposes. Kenney Hall is the second largest building on the Polytechnic cainpus today. It built of stone quarried at the Polyechnic and laid by Polytech- nic workers with the help and supervision of expert architects. From the outside the three and a half stories and gabled roofs give it quite as imposing and beautiful an appearance as from the inside. Events connected with the World War and the necessity of complet- ing Losekanip Hall ahead of the dormitory caused a long delay in the coni- pletion of Kenney Hall. Although the foundations for it. were laid in 1917 it was not ready for occupancy until 19221. Page One Hundred Forty-one . ' T I .As TYLER HALL-BOYS, DORMITORY Tyler Hall One of the most important events in the Polytechnic history of 1930 was the dedication of the newest building on the campus, the Tyler Mem- orial Hall. Its dedication and the laying of the corner-stone was held as a public affair at four o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, May 9, 1930. The Masonic Grand Lodge of Montana, represented by local members and others from all over the state had charge of the ceremonies. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Mehaffey of Boston, the donators of the building, were present to take part in the exercises. Mrs. Mehaffey was called upon and responded wonderfully with an address concerning her reasons for having the building dedicated in honor of her father, Mr. W. Graham Tyler. Her words have since been copied and framed and hung in the main parlor of the Hall. She told there, An institution like this seemed just the spot to place a memorial to my honored father, W. Graham T yler, one of Godls faithful stewards, who was always interested in the education of young menfl After the dedication the building was rushed on to completion under the supervision of Mclver and Cohagen, who drew the architectural plans. Thus experts were continually guiding the work of the Polytechnic self- help students who were earning a substantial credit toward their school expenses while at the same time they were learning the fundamentals of many phases of building operations. Tyler Hall will now accomodate fifty-five boys and a matron and house-man in surroundings more ideal than in any other dormitory in the Page One Hundred Forty-two WWW 'SEV . gf in ' 1, , my-x rx Z.. 3 A..

There also a locker room and adequate laundry- ing equipment there. Each of the dormitory rooms will accommodate two students provid- ing them with both room to study and sleeping quarters. Even though a huge amount of money was saved in building Tyler Hall by employing Polytechnic labor the cost of its construction rose to more than 860.000, It is quite apparent however after once looking over the building that great care must have been exercised in selecting mater- ials and the spending of the money, to have enabled any one to build such a magnificent structure for that amount of money. , Another large factor in the saving of money in the construction of Tyler Hall was the use of Polytechnic sandstone taken from the quarry of the Institute. The building is of reinforced concrete entirely faced with this stone. The facing and the lines of the architecure are of collegiate Gothic design. The roof is of fire-proof slate and the windows are all of the steel casement type.
