1 MEDICINE ROCK DORMITOR Y The Carter County Dormitory of 19-51 was successfully managed by Mrs. Rena McClellan of Rig Sandy, Montana. At the beginning of the school term there were seventeen students boarding there. However, this group of boys and girls were soon facing many difficulties. Luck seemed ag.iinst the dor- mitory when on the first of December a fire starting from a small stove up- stairs! destroyed nearly all the rooms on the second floor. Carpenters were lured immediately to rebuild as much of the burned building as possible, but it was found that only four hoys and seven g.rls could be accommodated. Thus the number of students within the walls of the Dorm had dwindled to eleven. After the fire everyone thought that things would run more smoothly, but it was not long until an epidemic of mumps and chicken pox broke out and everyone had to undergo their share of sickness. Still the students and matron were not discouraged, and they were determined to make a good ending of all their misfortunes. With this as their goal we are sure that the year will bring to a finish one of the most successful years in the history of the dormitory. TRACK In 1930 the Girls Track Team placed in several events: Kirkwood, fir.d, shot put—third, discus throw; J. Macnab, second, discus throw; (). Elmore, second, throw for accuracy. • This year, 1931, about the same girls are out for track, and we expect them to make even a better showing than they did last year. The girls expect to start practicing as soon as the weather permits. The 1930 Boys’ Track Team came through the district meet at Baker in championship form to take first place. They placed in events as follows: Fifty-yard dash Olsen first, Newbary second; 100 yard dash, Olsen first. Ncw- bary third; 220 yard dash, Newbary second; 440 yard dash, Newbary third; half mile, Thompson, third; high jump. Brownfield first; shot put, Newbary third; javelin, Thompson first. Practice has begun for 1931 with one letter man reporting. They are working hard and another championship team is expected. 1931

On November 18, about twenty men reported to Coach Lundberg for bask- etball practice, with only one letter man from the 1930 team reporting. In spite of the late start, Coach Lundberg had a combination formed for the first game with Sentinel Butte on November 28 that gave a very creditable account of themselves in spite of their inexperience. By mid-season the team was weeded down to about ten men who reported regularly for practice. As the season drew on a smoot working quint was developed. But hard luck in the shape of epidemics overtook them and they were unable to complete the schedule. Marvin Meyers was the 1931 captain. Games were played with Sentinel Butte, Camp Crook, Ismay, Mildred, Plevna, Sumatra and, Forsyth. 1931-
