In the dedication of this 1926
Chinook to John ‘B. Cluley,
we, the Senior Class, express our appreciation to him for his friendship, loyalty, and helpful advice.‘Presidents CDessage
As I reminiscently study the old Chinooks, the students and faculty of yesterday look out at me from their pages. Five, ten, twenty years ago the seniors were making this book an expression of Normal College spirit. Their alertness has preserved a world of pleasant experiences we like to remember. The loyalties which made yesterday’s Chinooks possible are well and faithfully represented in the Class of 1926, and their school spirit has expressed itself in this worthy volume. When you and I enjoy this Chinook in reminiscent mood, a pleasant, wholesome, keen, and sturdy influence will be with us. May the now and the tomorrow of every senior be the best.
— S. E. ©avis
Deans (Dessage
After many tomorrows You will, perhaps,
Wipe the dust from I his volume And turn its pages.
Each picture,
Each line.
Each autograph
Will arouse a thousand
Memories,
Thoughts And feelings.
And,—
If you happen To have
A patient listener—
You will hold forth with.
“I remember we used to..........”
"One time this girl and I . . .
"In Miss Blank’s class one day........'
“John always.........”
And other
Like thrilling tales,
Until your listener Sleeps or runs away.
May such rememberings All be pleasant,
And the friendships Made here Be loyal And lasting.
-Angelina Smith(Dontana
Hail for Montana, the Queen of the West!
Hail for the state that is always the best.
And hail for the heroes that blazed the trail.
That trod through the wilderness, but never said, “Fail.”
Lewis and Clark were our outstanding men;
Their deeds are related by both tongue and pen;
They were friends of the Indians and leaders of whites,
But only true men could retain such rights.
Peace was their password as they struggled on,
Building a foundation to set our state upon;
Soon came the settlers their homes to build But the Indian revolted and many he killed.
Not only these settlers came to this land.
But hunters and miners both took a hand.
Together with those who were traders and trappers Making the first step for other migraters.
The brave Indian fought for his land and his rights,
But now there are left the commemorable sites Marking his stand of last battles in war.
Which we shall remember forever more.
Now we can praise our two heroes so true.
And be proud that they worked for the red, white, and blue. For heroes start states and states formed a nation.
And that one is ours, the best in Creation.
Now we all live in blessed freedom and peace.
Which is sweetest of all and hope will not cease;
For we want Montana to be always the best;
The Star of our hopes and the Queen of the West.
CD. E. GravenBeaverhead River
Main BuildingGhe "Go”
Why the sudden rush for overalls by all Normal girls? Why the appearance of so many •‘eats” in the college kitchen? The "Go” had been announced for October twenty-first. The first pleasure
afforded by this outing was the cancellation of afternoon classes. We hiked, or rode in cars supplied by the Dillon Rotarians to Dill-mont Park.
During the afternoon we played football, baseball, or hiked to Lover’s Leap. Even the most enthusiastic player kept a vigilant eye on Dean Smith, however, as she guarded the fires and huge kettles of coffee. And when dinner was announced what a mad scramble there was to get in line! At last all were served with a dinner that
Dr. Davis was heard to remark was “decidedly plus in calorie con-
tent.” After dinner we went into the pavilion where a huge fire blazed in the fireplace. There we danced till nine o'clock when
Rotarians again generously supplied cars to take the weary picnickers home. The traditional semi-annual "Go" that affords a never-failing day of enjoyment was over.—another pleasant memory for students of M. S. N. C.
-19-College ‘Datj Convocation
The second general assembly of the fall quarter was set aside for what is known as College Day Convocation. The above title brings to mind a day in which the spirit of the student body is aroused to more patriotism and loyalty for our institution. But College Day means more than this. The program of the general assembly is especially arranged with reference to all newcomers. New members of the College can not be familiar with the customs and traditions of M. S. N. C. Therefore, on this day the Seniors present the customs and traditions of the College. This year several students gave short talks on each annual festivity of the year. The speakers were dressed in keeping with their traditions.
—20—‘Hallowe’en Stunts
Many and varied were the strange sights we saw in the College auditorium Hallowe’en night. But we were to vision even more frightful apparitions in the “corridors of horrors” leading to the recreation hall. Skeletons poked us; ghosts wailed and shoved soft, gruesome bundles in our paths; a guillotined head stared down at us. Yet all these were forgotten in the orange and black-decorated hall. Everyone was in costume, artistic or grotesque. Confetti helped to make the dance very enjoyable.
—21—"CD” ‘Dai(
After much suspense, on the part of the students, “M” day arrived. The weather was favorable; the eats were ready; nothing else mattered. On this day. theoretically, the Juniors work and the Seniors play. Many Juniors were introduced to regular mountain climbing before they reached the “M.” The first task was to enlarge the “M” one foot on each side. The Seniors armed with brooms and whitewash with which to whiten the "M” appeared on the scene. It will probably always remain a mystery where all the brooms come from. A high wind did its best to remove all traces of the Seniors. The work done, the weary participants slowly descended the hill to the valley below where Dean Smith was waiting with the lunch. Then the halting procession made its way back to town.
“M” day has been an annual event at the Normal College since the “M” was built. It is the duty of the Seniors to give the “M” a coat of whitewash.
—22—Uhe (Day Fete
With the coming of spring the Normal campus is Dillon’s favorite auditorium. For this reason it is an ideal place for the May Festival. This celebration is in the form of a program staged by the Normal Students and the training school pupils.
The May Queen, who is a Senior, is elected by the school. She is escorted to her throne by a procession of attendants, who strew her path with flowers. After the crowning ceremony a program is given for her pleasure.
—23—£?he Vow-Wow
As the name suggests, the Pow-Wow is an annual “peace-pipe smoking” between the Senior Chieftains and the Junior Tribesmen. The Junior warriors are endeavoring to take the hunting ground from the Senior braves. A war is averted by a compromise. The Seniors decide to give their hunting ground to the Juniors, only after the latter promise to uphold all traditions and customs hitherto observed.
The significance behind this ceremony is the annual transfer of power from the Seniors to the Juniors. The ceremony itself is impressive. A campfire is built on the campus; around this the chieftains and braves assemble. The scene thus presented is a beautiful one. It has a natural effect and brings to one’s mind pictures of Indian conferences which probably took place on the site not so many years ago.
—24—Z3he Candlc-£ight ‘Procession
This event is a traditional practice which has much beauty and meaning attached to it. Closely allied to the Pow-Wow it signifies the transferring of the school duties from the Seniors to the Juniors. The night before graduation the Seniors, in cap and gown, march slowly down the darkened walks carrying a lighted candle. This lighted candle is transferred to a Junior whose duty it is to guard it and carry it on. The Seniors and Juniors continue their walk about the campus singing—
“Oh, college chums, clear college chums,
The years may come; the years may go;
But still my heart in memory clings To those college days of long ago.
Through youth, through prime, and when the days Of harvest time to us shall come;
Through all we’ll bear those memories dear Of those college days of long ago.”
Colley
SinS
Although one of the newest of our customs the College Sing has become very popular. It was originated by the class of 1924.
One evening during the Spring Commencement week the students gather on the steps of the main college hall and sing. The Seniors in caps and gowns lead the singing in which every individual is urged to take part. College songs that will always bring fond memories of M. S. N. C. are the ones selected.

There came to our campus in twenty and four A strong looking group of a hundred or more;
Some came from the farthermost parts of the state, Arriving in Dillon a day or two late.
They named themselves Juniors and straightway began To vie with the Seniors, the resident clan.
Who were crafty but old, declining in strength,
And not well prepared to fight at great length.
In the course of a year the Seniors moved out;
The Juniors remaining without the least doubt That they now completely controlled Normal Hall, Neither having to murder, nor having to kill.
But Autumn again brought wandering tribesmen Full bent upon winning a home in our glen,
So Juniors were called upon now, as Seniors,
To conquer or die 'gainst hard-fighting warriors.
During the year the duties were strenuous;
Some days were dark and the clouds hovered o’er us; But our chiefs were all strong and our warriors brave Who labored together our pathways to pave.
Our campus duties are now about ended;
Our wandering ways, we hope, are all mended;
New duties await us. as teachers, afield,
With friends not so near us, to comfort and shield.
The pleasures we've had have paid for the sorrow; The friendships we’ve made we’ll cherish tomorrow; May God speed us all. ever keeping us true To those whom our love and our honor are due.

Organization
The Senior Class organized September, 1925. The class became active immediately. They elected the remainder of the Chinook staff and sponsored the Chinook until it was published. It organized a Booster Club to help finance the Chinook. An excellent Senior convocation was put on by the class each quarter.

There has been an entirely new organization of the Council this year, which we believe has made it more representative and democratic than it has been.
Two representatives are chosen from each floor of the dormitories. The girls of each dormitory elect a governor. All the girls in the hall vote for the house president. Altogether the Council consists of twenty-six members. The members this year made a constitution and set of rules by which the dormitories are governed. Besides this, the Council makes out the social calendar for the school year. Another of its duties is to discuss and try to solve problems closely connected with the dormitory life of the girls.
This organization is very new but with the beginning it has made this year it promises to be a means for solution of many problems.

The Y. W. C. A. is an organization to promote good fellowship and Christian ideals among the women at the Montana State Normal College. This year a “big sister” movement was initiated. Every Junior girl was given a Senior "big sister.” whose duty it was to help her younger "sister” get acquainted.
This year the Y. W. C. A., with the K. Z. X. and W. A. A., started to solicit and earn money for the Girls’ Rest Room, in the new library building. This added comfort will be appreciated by all the women in the school, for whose use the room is to be furnished.

The Senior Class of 1905 founded the Kappa Zeta Nu Sorority to promote friendship among the women students of the College. This has been handed down to succeeding Senior Classes.
Kappa Zeta Nu is the only sorority on the campus. At the end of the fall quarter and the beginning of the spring quarter the K. Z. N. pledges new members. Informal initiation is conducted for a week previous to the night pledges are formally initiated into the sorority. A formal dance is given in honor of the new members at the Residence Hall the evening of their formal initiation.
This year the K. Z. N. endeavored to carry out the ideals set for it by the class of 1905.

The Women’s Athletic Association of Montana State Normal College was organized here in December, 1922, and since that time has been growing steadily in membership and athletic ideals. A number of new ideas have been suggested and initiated by its members this year.
Various awards are made by the W. A. A. Two hundred points entitle a member to a pin; a Varsity team in any sport entitles one to numerals; the "M” is awarded for five hundred points, and a sweater is given to one who “makes” eight hundred points.

All Seniors are automatically members of the Booster Club, the aim of which is to obtain money to finance the Chinook. The Booster Carnival, given in the winter quarter, is one way of raising money.
The Booster Carnival of 1926 was a decided success. The Senior and Junior Classes and every organization of the school put on a side show. “The Shooting of Dan McGrew,” given by the Lambda Chi Sigma; the K. Z. N. kitchen-cabinet orchestra, the Junior dance hall, and all of the other stunts were well attended and enjoyed. The Pantages was the climax of the whole Carnival, and here the Carnival Queen was crowned.

The Lambda Chi Sigma, the only fraternity at the College, began its second year of active existence with a good record for the previous year. “Rush Week” was held the third week of the fall quarter, and sixteen men were selected from the new students. The fraternity dance which was given November 26 was one of the main events of the fall quarter. Lambda Chi Sigma was well represented in the Commercial Basketball League. Although the fraternity did not take first, it succeeded in defeating the League champions.
The fraternity came into existence because at the Normal College there were young men of like interest and ideals; Th aim of the organization is to help enforce and uphold the standards of the school, also to promote good fellowship among the students.

The men who in the opinion of the club have earned their letters in one of the major sports and who otherwise represent the ideals of the organization and have the welfare of the College at heart are voted into membership.
The club promotes interest in athletics and clean sportsmanship among the students. It also takes charge, under the guidance of the coach, of the tennis, handball, and other tournaments participated in by members and the student body.

Its growth every year has been in keeping with the growth of the College, and it is a true representation of the spirit of Montana State Normal College.
Che Chinook of 1926
The 1926 Chinook editor-in-chief and business manager were elected by the Junior Class in May, 1925. This was done so that the editor and business manager could start to work on the 1926 Chinook. The other members of the staff were elected at the second class meeting the following September, after a nominating committee had decided on candidates. An assistant was elected for each department.
The division pages for tills Chinook were chosen by means of a contest held by the Chinook staff. The pages submitted by Miss Gretchen Coates and Miss Sylvia Devitt were chosen.
Mr. Cluley was Chinook adviser. He helped the staff organize and carry on the work. Meetings of the staff were held every Wednesday night during the fall and winter quarters.
Chinook Convocations
Two convocations were given over to the Chinook. At the winter quarter convocation the editor-in-chief explained in detail the 1926 Chinook. The business manager gave a statement of finances. The chorus composed of Seniors and Juniors gave several College

Student Activity Fund Committee
The student activity fund initiated last year has proved very popular. A two-dollar fee is paid by each student every quarter, and for this fee each student is given a Student Activity ticket which entitles him to attend all College entertainments and to receive the Montanomal.
A committee, consisting of three faculty members, who are appointed by the President of the College, and representatives chosen from each class apportion the money among the various student activities.
The student activities which are given money from this fund are athletics, Lyceum, Montanomal, debating, oratory, and whitewashing the “M.”
During the past year the committee consisted of Mr. McBain, Miss Russell, and Miss Smith, representing the faculty; Dan Bock, Eva Zachary, and Anne Miller, representing the Seniors; and Gladys Crimmins and Harry Thompson, representing the Juniors.

The Alumni Association of the Montana Normal College was organized for the purpose of keeping graduates interested in and in close touch with the Normal College. Local units of this association are formed throughout the state.
The local unit in Dillon holds business and social meetings each month, where graduates become better acquainted.
It has been the custom of the Dillon unit to give a banquet each spring for the June graduates of the College. A suggestion has been offered that instead of the banquet each member contribute a dollar which shall go toward augmenting the alumni loan fund.
We hope this plan may be perfected in the near future.

The Women’s Glee Club met twice each week, under the supervision of Miss Robe. The Glee Club was divided into the Girls’ Chorus and the Girls’ Glee Club. The Chorus, made up of eighty-five girls, furnished excellent music at commencement exercises, convocation, and the teachers’ convention.
One of the attractions at the Western Division of Montana Education Association was “Her Blanket,’’ a one-act Indian operetta arranged by the Glee Club. The Glee Club was composed of Margaret Pimperton, Gladys Scott, Josephine Funk, Mary Gist, Iola McCoy, Margaret Walen, Dorothy Webber, Dorothy Lindseth and M. Kintze. Dr. Walter Stephan sang the male role.

Oratory
The oratorical contest for College students was established about 1908. In 1918 it was discontinued and was not renewed until 1924. The Normal College was a member of the association before 1918, but joined this year for the first time since it has been renewed.
The record established by Normal when a member was exceptionally good. In the seven years during which the contests were held we won first place for three years and second place for three years.
All the divisions of the Montana University are members of the association. The meetings rotate from school to school. This year it was held at Missoula. May 8.
Our representative was chosen at the local contest held in the auditorium March 22. The contestants were Marie Larson, Mae Nedrow, Margaret Adair, Anna Hench, Dan Rock, and Angelo Geary. The judges were Mrs A. L. Anderson, the Reverend C. Knudson, the Reverend E. L. Hurley.
Anna Hench was awarded first place and Dan Bock was given second in the local contest. In the state contest, held in Missoula, the contestant from Mount St. Charles College, Helena, won first place; Missoula, second; and Bozeman, third.
Summer Schools
Each year the summer school enrollment grows larger. Dillon has a larger enrollment than the summer schools at Hillings, Miles City, and Lewistown. During the summer quarter there are more instructors and a greater variety of subjects offered in Dillon than during any other quarter. Many more students are taking advantage of this and attending school during the summer.
There are a great many amusements for Dillon students in the summer time. Hiking becomes even more popular than in other quarters. The “Go” is attended by all, and there are numerous picnics. Many classes have field days in connection with their regular lessons. There are always dances at the recreation hall as well as teas and lawn parties. Dillon is a very pleasant place to attend summer school.
Oarsitij Football
Last September found Normal College beginning her second year in Varsity football. Several of the stars of last year’s team were back in school and with the addition of the new and promising material that turned out for practice, a successful season for the orange and black was looked forward to by the student body.
The team had only two weeks’ practice before its schedule opened at home. Under the skillful guidance of Coach Hollister and able leadership of “Chick” Murray the team was whipped into shape for its opening game with the School of Mines. Although the team lost its first game, it was only because the breaks of the game went against us and because two weeks were too short a time to teach the new material, many of whom had never played football, the fundamentals of the game.
—95—
The next game was with Intermountain Union College at Helena. The Teachers were outweighed nearly twenty pounds to a man as Intermountain had one of the heaviest teams in her history. The game was, however, hard fought and generally very even in spite of the weight handicap our team was under, hut again the jinx appeared and a series of intercepted passes gave Intermountain the victory.
The Teachers met Ricks College of Rexburg, Idaho, in a game played at Dillon. At first it looked like another defeat; Kicks started a march down the field, which made the issue look doubtful, and was only stopped on the Normal twenty-yard line. From then on, however, the visitors were unable to make any headway. For the first time in the season the Normal team really hit its stride and easily won the game by crossing Ricks’ goal line three times.

The following week the Normal team journeyed to Bozeman for a game with the State College Freshmen. The Normal team entered the battle confident of victory, and scored in the opening minutes of play. This seemed to startle the Bobkittens, who immediately bared their claws and in their turn crossed our goal line. The Bobkittens from then on never faltered in their attack and won the game by a large margin.
To finish the season our team met the strong Brigham Young College of Utah in a game played at home. The Normal team outplayed their heavier opponents in every part of the game, making twice as much yardage as their opponents. But again the breaks went against our team for by intercepting a pass and recovering a fumble B. Y. C. established a lead which the Normal was unable to overcome. The game ended 18-6 in favor of Brigham Young.
—97—All the games were marked by clean, fast playing, and true sportsmanship. The College is proud to have a team that plays the clean brand of football that this team does. A great deal of the credit for this brand of football is due to Coach Hollister, who has done everything in h!s power to improve the sportsmanship and ability of the team. Normal College is proud of her coach and team.
1926 Pootball ‘Prospects
The prospects look good for a winning football team in 1926. Several of the stars of this year’s team are going to return, and with the addition of new material a strong team is expected to defend the Orange and Black in 1926.
—98—felling
At the beginning of the school year yelling was disorganized. An onlooker would see one bunch of students here, another bunch over there, yelling whenever they pleased. Later it was organized by the classes under the direction of a competent leader. The credit for this splendid backing that our team had during basketball season must be given to Mr. Cluley and the class yell leaders.
Not satisfied with the ordinary methods employed by most cheer leaders, ours devised ingenious methods of their own to give the team courage and to keep that old fighting spirit at a high pitch. Before games pep rallies were held in the recreation hall and at convocation. Everyone was given a typed sheet of yells and urged to learn them before the games. The yell leaders stood at the door of the gymnasium and directed all students to the section reserved for them. The yelling and singing were so well managed and so “peppy” that many of the onlookers involuntarily joined.
As a result of all this activity, combined with school spirit that one always finds at M. S. X. C.. teams were given the best support
—99—‘Basketball
The Teachers' hoop squad of 1926, composed of several of last year’s stars with a number of new men, developed considerable speed under the guidance of Coach Hollister and the leadership of Dan Bock. The Teachers found a powerful stride, and it was only a matter of hard luck that kept them from winning many close games. Murray and Taylor, as forwards. Solace as center. Bock and Howe as guards, and McNeil as utility man, made a hard-working and fastgoing squad.
The season opened at home against the Bobcats, one of the crack teams of the Rocky .Mountain Conference. During the opening few minutes of play the Teachers secured a lead, but the Bobcats soon hit their stride, and the Teachers, though outclassed, showed a fight and spirit that won the admiration of the crowd. The Bobcats won by a score of 40-13.

January 22 and 23 the Teachers met Idaho Tech, at Pocatello, in two fast games. The first game ended 19-24 in Idaho’s favor, but a rally by the Teachers in the last quarter made the issue doubtful until the final gun. In the second game the Teachers started with a rush and at half time led. 9 to 12. In the second half Idaho Tech converted enough points on fouls to win. 19-14.
The Teachers showed improvement in their next two games against Mount St. Charles of Helena, but were off on shooting form the first night and lost, 14-18. The second game opened with a rush, our team leading at half time. At the opening of the second half the “Saints” netted several long shots and regained the lead. Fighting until the end. the Teachers lost the game by the narrow margin of two points.
February 7 and 8 the Miners came down for two games. The teams maintained a terrific pace all the way, and at the gun the score was tied. In an overtime period the Miners won by a score of 33 to 31. The second game was closely contested all the way. but the Mines salted the game away, 23 to 17. by scoring 4 field goals in the closing minutes of play.
-101—February 12 Idaho Tech stopped, during a northern trip, for a return game and it seemed uncanny the way every man on their team found the basket, while the Teachers were unable to score. The final score was 35 to 7 in favor of Idaho Tech.
February 17 we met the Miners in a return game in Butte. At half time we led, 12-S. In the second half Murray and Howe left the game by way of personal foul route, and the Mines made enough points on fouls to overcome our lead and win the game.
February 27 and 28 we journeyed to Helena for the last two games of the season. The first game against Mount St. Charles College was played at top speed, but they won. 37 to 21, because of their success in making long baskets.
Intermountain won the last game by a score of 17 to 14. Five field goals made by the Teachers from center were not counted, the referee calling our men for traveling and double dribbling.
Three of this year’s team. Captain Bock, guard; Murray, forward, and Solace, center, graduate. The other members of the team will be back in school and should form a nucleus around which Coach Hollister can build a strong team in V927.
—102—t?rack
Track practice began in March with many out for the different events. After a month of practice an inter-class track meet was held. This track meet enabled Coach Hollister to place each man in the position for which he was best fitted. A four-man team was selected and sent to the Intercollegiate Track Meet at Missoula.
On May 7 a three-mile cross-county run was held at the College with forty men competing. Greenshlelds took first place.
The Normal cross-country team met the Bozeman team at Dillon May 15.
Handball
The handball courts were completed during the winter quarter. Although handball is a new sport at Normal, a great deal of interest was taken by the men students and especially when they learned about the tournament.
Swimming
Everyone on the campus eagerly awaited the completion of the swimming pool. Some were so eager to swim that they did not wait for the official opening. For the first time in the history of the school Normal students have an opportunity to learn to swim.
Several classes in swimming were organized by the instructors of Physical Education. Many students were unable to get in these classes because of the large number out for swimming. Although new at M. S. N. C. swimming promises to be a favorite sport.
—103—tennis
This year tennis has taken its place as an important sport at Montana State Normal. It has more followers than any other sport. Men and women alike practice the serving and returning stroke long before the courts are ready. Just as soon as the courts are repaired they are in use from early morning until late at night.
An elimination tournament in both singles and doubles was held both for the men and women students. This created a great deal of interest, and many students went out for tennis.
The men’s tournament was sponsored by the “M” Club under the direction of Coach Hollister. The winner’s name of the singles was engraved on a silver cup which is kept in the gymnasium trophy case.
—104—Oolleij ‘Ball
The Seniors won over the Juniors by u very close score. It was a hard-fought victory from beginning to end. The stalwart Junior team kept the Seniors fighting every minute to win the battle. The rooters on the side lines encouraged with loud cheers their players whenever they made a score.
The Seniors lost the second game to the Juniors by about the same margin they had won in the previous game. Both teams worked hard and the crowd was kept in suspense till the final whistle blew.
The two teams entered the final game knowing it would take hard fighting to win. The motive of the Seniors seemed to be the stronger. They had to win to keep the Juniors from becoming athletic champions, because the Juniors had already won the baseball tournament. The final game ended with the Seniors five points ahead.
-105—‘Basketball
Women’s basketball practices began early in the winter quarter. Practices were held three times a week under the supervision of the W. A. A. officers. Miss Ulry, instructor of Women’s Physical Education, was coach. One point an hour was given by the W. A. A. to each one coming to practice. These points were recorded by the secretary of the W. A. A. because only those out for three-fourths of the practices were eligible for a team. The teams were chosen by a committee composed of the coach and the class sports managers. The Varsity team was chosen from both the Junior and Senior teams.
—106—
Junior - Senior Game
The final Junior-Senior basketball game was held March 18. The Seniors went into it with the idea of breaking the record of Juniors always winning. The Juniors decided to keep their reputation. At the end of the first half the Seniors were ahead and stayed there. The score was 26-14. Some say this was the fastest game ever played in Dillon. It wasn't the Juniors fault that they lost.

Indoor ‘Baseball
A groat deal of interest in baseball was shown by Juniors and Seniors. Many of the students even went to the practice games to yell for their teams. With so much interest shown the games could not be other than interesting.
The Junior hard-hitting batters won the first game by a close score. Had luck shadowed the Seniors. They had formed the bad habit of stepping outside the box when they were put to bat. They were called out; consequently, several scores were lost.
In the second game both teams showed good form. Time allowed three innings only. The game closed with a score of IS to 12 in favor of the Juniors.
When the autumn quarter ended girls athletic honors were equally divided; the Juniors were winners of baseball, and the Seniors of volleyball.

Society at 03. S. T2. C
Are you interested in society? At Normal you will find every type from the formal Fraternity and Sorority dances to the birthday parties in the kitchenette and forbidden grill suppers in the rooms.
Are the formal dances fun? They are. Even your grandchildren will not be bored at these when you are reminiscing fifty years hence.
And the evenings at the recreation hall. They are always very successful affairs, for our College orchestra supplies very “peppy" music, and everybody knows everybody else, and—well, you have a good time.
Society at Normal has given us many happy memories. Long after we have forgotten term papers and all such monstrosities we will remember a certain banquet, a certain dance, a certain party, and remembering, will in our hearts give three cheers for M. S. N. C.Carnival
Carnival! What a riot of fun that word suggests: And the annual carnival sponsored by the Booster Club passed all expectations. Every organization in school displayed its particular talent. Every frivolity since our grandmothers’ day was brought to us in the stunts. After everyone had gone to all the side shows, had his fortune told for the nth time, and fished the fish-pond empty, he went to the auditorium to the Pantages. The features were a Charleston demonstration, an old maid chorus, freaks of all sorts from the Wild Man from Borneo to the Butterfly Twins, songs ranging from “Sometime” to “Patches,” and violin and harp solos. Then the Carnival Queen was crowned.
Carnival Queen
Margaret Pimperton was chosen Carnival Queen by the students this year. The contest was open only to Seniors, but any one buying a Chinook could vote. All during Chinook Week, when the annuals were sold, nominations were made for queen. Each person who bought a Chinook made his nomination and was given a ticket with which to vote at the Carnival. The three highest candidates were Margaret Pimperton, Dorothy Graham, and Georgia Hartman. Margaret Pimperton was elected, and after the Pantages was crowned Carnival Queen."She Kid ‘Party”
The Friday evening before Christmas vacation the Y. W. C. A. gave a “Kid Party” for its members. The dormitory seemed suddenly changed into a kindergarten. Everyone was excited about the party, the Christmas tree, and Santa Claus. After several hours of games Santa Claus came pouncing in, loaded with lovely presents, candy, fruit, and popcorn.
She Annual ‘Reception
The first social event of the year was the annual reception held at the residence halls. The purpose of the reception is to bring all students and faculty together. As usual no one decided to attend until the last moment, but then all were present and enjoyed a very pleasant evening.
CDontanomal ‘Banquet
After the last Montanomal was published the Monta-nomal staff took an evening off for enjoyment. They attended a banquet at the Andrus Hotel and then went to a theater party at the Hartwig. Miss Russell, faculty adviser for the Montanomal, was guest of the evening.
ID. A. A. Banquet
In the spring quarter the W. A. A. held its annual banquet at the Andrus Hotel. All members of the W. A. A. were invited to attend. Toasts were given on athletics and W. A. A. by various outstanding members and the Presidents of 1926 and 1927. All awards, such as sweaters, letters and numerals, were awarded. Several W. A. A. songs were sung by the old members.
—112—Gargoyle 'Banquet
The Gargoyle Dramatic Club entertained their pledges at a banquet at the Andrus Hotel. Immediately after the banquet all adjourned to the parlors, where the formal initiation was held. Mr. Clark, an honorary member of the Gargoyle Club, was a guest.
Yes, of course, every girl attended the Co-ed Prom; every girl had a date. The dormitory sheiks went down to the office and put in a parlor call for their best girls. Before the dance began the parlors were crowded with the most enthusiastic group ever gathered there. The grand march, which gave every one a chance to see the new dates and new gowns, started the dance with unusual enthusiasm. The Prom proved so successful that the girls gave three cheers for Miss Smith who had suggested it.
On December 9 the Kappa Zeta Nu gave its formal pledge dance. In sharp contrast to the weather outdoors was the recreation hall in which King Winter was reigning. Frosted windows, long icicles, snowflakes falling from the ceiling and snowladen pines made one bow to King Winter. A large yellow moon shining through the pines smiled down upon the dancers.
Co-ed ‘PromC. C. S. ‘Dance
Frat dances have always been exceptionally pleasant. For this reason every girl’s heart gave an extra leap when she heard it rumored that there was to be another Frat dance. The recreation hall decorated in the Frat colors and the Frat insignia was very attractive.
‘Booster Dances
The Booster Club gave a dance each quarter for the purpose of obtaining funds for the Chinook. The recreation hall was attractively decorated with balloons. These dances were noted for their pep and were well attended by students and down-town visitors.
"CD” Club Dances
Once during every quarter the “M” Club gave a dance at the recreation hall. These dances were always well attended because everyone was anxious to help the club. The proceeds from these dances were used to buy sweaters for the boys who had earned them in athletics.
‘Donnal Tollies
One of the most enjoyable evenings of the school year was in the spring quarter when the “M” Club put on the Normal Follies. A program in which every organization of the school took part was given under the direction of the club.
—114—
ID. A. A. Initiation
“Have you enough points?” No, they are not studying American History outline, but they are wondering if they will be eligible to join W. A. A. You would think that after a girl had hiked one hundred miles she would be eligible to join W. A. A. Well, she is; but that one hundred miles is only half of it. Now comes initiation: sweeping sidewalks at 5:30 A. M. when it feels like 50 below zero, and taking hikes at the same hours when she is so sleepy she has only one eye open at a time. The old members said this year’s initiation was easy; but it is not necessary to agree.
1C 2. CT7. Initiation
She was standing at the door with her suitcase in her hand, and a “becoming” hat perched upon her head; and it was two weeks before school closed. I scratched my head in amazement. Was she leaving so soon? She walked sedately toward the College and strolled right into ihe Economics Class! Then I awoke. This was K. Z. N. initiation.
The initiation was concluded by the regular pledge dance. Everyone enjoyed the dance, even “Mr. Winter,” who was a prominent character.
Senior Convocations
For some time it has been the custom to have a Senior Convocation once each quarter. The programs vary. Music, one-act plays, and reading, made up this year’s programs.
—115—Gargoyle Initiation
Gargoyle tryouts were held the first part of the autumn quarter. These tryouts were open to everyone desiring to become a member of the Gargoyle Club. All during the week on the campus there was heard a most unusual question, “Who are the lucky thirteen?'’ Thirteen may be an unlucky number to some, but not to the thirteen people who are initiated into the Gargoyle Dramatic Club. After a week of initiation a banquet was held at the Andrus Hotel......Speeches!
Junior Convocation
The Juniors furnished one of the most interesting convocation programs. The musical numbers were entertaining, and the one-act play displayed originality and skill.
IP. A. A. Entertains "CD” Club
The W. A. A. entertained the “M" Club at a Thanksgiving party. After games and contests, they all went back to their kid days and pulled taffy vigorously. Judging from the amount of apple pie the boys ate, they can vouch for the cooking ability of the W. A. A. girls.

—121—Che Collegiate’s ‘Dream
I wore a silken Robe
And walked the streets of Light,
As I looked upon the College From a most stupendous height.
The campus was Albright and green, The wind was blowing Free;
Away upstairs the chorus
Sang “My country ’tis of thee.”
The leaves on the trees did Russell,
A Curran ’cross the path;
A Junior discussed Cluley As he tried to do his math.
McBain cranked up his Ford—
It didn’t even Frazer,
But it sure went fast when Hollister passed
Wearing a checkered blazer.
St. Peter tapped me with his keys And pointed to the Clark—
“You’d better quit and study your Lit Before it gets too dark.”

-V‘Phantasu
How would you like to go down to the Dorm, the boys’ dorm, I mean. And there put in a parlor call just to see how it would seem. You’d ring, and then say to the boys’ dean, as she inquired your preference tonight, “Oh, Chuck, if she’s in, or Sig, or Chick, and if they’re not then any is all right.” And you say to her in a friendly way and smile as you tell her how, you are sorry for them because the girls are scarce and it is hard for the boys to get dates just now. And when your man comes down the stairs and smiles, you say, “Hello,” you step right up, take his arm and say, “Well, dear, shall we go?” Late that night you’d bring him back and tell him you hope that he don’t get kicked out of the dorm because you’re later than you should be. So you’d go home and dream sweet dreams of another guy you think you’ll rush and then you’d sigh and close your eyes, and give up the terrible fuss.

A "feed” was on in room ten For it was Friday night.
And Mary Lou and Sally Ann Were borrowing left and right.
Cheese (hey borrowed from Gladys. Sugar they "swiped” from June, Phyllis promised to bring cups,
But each guest brought her spoon.
Bee made the chocolate,
Jennie told all the news,
Mary made "Welsh Rarebit,”
Sally Ann related her blues.
Bee raved over Harry,
June had news from home,
Billy rattled the dishes And bawled—“All Alone.”
But Mae came rushing in "The Dean’s out in the hall,”
Under the bed and in the drawers Went chocolate, bread and all.
Then Lil came strolling in,
“Hello there, kids,” she said,
"What in the world has happened? What’s that under the bed?"
Mae explained to the wondering How Lil looked like the dean.
So they restored the "feed” to sight And laughed at the little scene.
Morning found the room a sight With crumbs upon the floor; Chocolate on the dressers And "Welsh Rarebit” on the door.

State Normal College
of the
niversity of Montana
High School graduates may well look upon teaching as a favorable field for a life career. Working conditions and salaries are improving. The demand for trained teachers has not been supplied in recent years; by no possibility can an adequate supply of teachers be trained in the near future. No one prepared to teach is without remunerative employment. Professionally trained teachers need not seek positions; they receive offers. Sure employment in a highly respected occupation with compensation in proportion to the training is the teacher’s prospect.
The State Normal College of the University of Montana offers superior facilities for professional training. Its graduates are eagerly sought. If after the completion of the two year course a graduate wishes to teach, a position is waiting. If it is desired to continue in school, full credit for Normal College work is given in the University of Montana institutions or in universities not located in this state. In the usual four years of a college course a Normal diploma and a University degree may both be secured, no loss resulting from transfer of credits.

NOT GUILTY
We hold ourselves not guilty. We insist we are not guilty. We are not guilty for anything that is suggested in it. We are not guilty.
We do not favor policemen. They are bad, naughty people. They should be driven from the streets of Dillon. Pupils should be able to walk down the streets waving guns and shooting coeds right and left. Policemen are such rough, unkind gentlemen. Once a college professor called them all “flat-footed morons." We do not think that all policemen are flat-footed. But we think that they should all be abolished. And we are not guilty.

The Professor Who Bought a Memory Course
Mrs. Prof: “Jerry, you’ve been studying too hard. You look so pale,
and worried. What is the matter?”
Prof.: "I’ve been working out a memory system. I'll never forget
anything, now that I've trained my mind.”
Mrs. Prof.: “Prove it! What’s Uncle Jeffery’s ’phone number?”
Prof.: “Cheese! That makes me think of Swiss, see? And Swiss leads
to mountains, understand? And mountains remind me of the ocean. Do you follow me?’’
Mrs. Prof.: “What’s all that got to do with that ’phone number?"
Prof.: “The ocean reminds me of sailors. Sailors remind me of Colum-
bus. Now, Columbus discovered America in 1492. and half of 1492 is 746. Seven, four, six—that's his ’phone number. See how simple it all was?”
Mrs. Prof.: "In what year were we married?”
Prof.: “That’s easy. Balloons! That makes me think of hot air, and
hot air makes me think of your brother George—now don't get sore! Your brother George makes me think of that ten bucks he borrowed from me the day we were married. He’s owed me that for 11 years, so we were married in 1915.”
Mrs. Prof.: “That’s right, exactly. It sounds like nonsense, but there

Words to Kat. •
