I like the Normal College real well, and next to C. H. S. I think it would be hard to beat. Pep. which you might think would be lacking among a bunch of teachers and •’would be teachers,” is the outstanding characteristic of the college. I suppose all members of C’25 are busy preparing for graduation. It is a pleasant feeling, but at the same time, lots of work. Still, when I think of all the good times we had in High School. I wish I were a Freshman again. Sincerely, JESSIE BARBER. Dear Friends. Alumni, and Students: After six months of college life one can readily draw striking contrasts between college and high school life. Dormitory life makes a deep Impression during the first few weeks. Privacy is to be had only during the hours of the morning twilight. During the rest of the day one hears melodious but stupefying college chants, or hotly contested arguments fill the smoke-saturated air with husky voices. To extinguish such hot argument the fire hose is often used. The rare periods in dormitory life known as “quiet hours” are usually celebrated by triumphant marches down the (Continued on page thirty) li ii a Self Service Store F. N. Williams, Prop.

Judging from the sound one would think the marchers wore hobnailed bathroom slippers in order that Uie memory of the occasion might be lasting, especially on the woodwork. But the most noticeable difference of all is the liberty one has to do or not to do his work. This atmosphere of freedom is so overwhelming to some of the men that on the final examination day they find that their scanty attendance has disqualified them to take the examination The result, of course, is disastrous to the freedom-loving student. A pupil in high school is generally warned by his instructor whether or not he is to have the honor of passing in his course, but in college the warning is kept secret until the grades are handed out at the close of the semester. Of course, then it is too late to make amends. One has either studied too diligently and received an “A” or he has misjudged the sympathy of the instructor and receives an “E”. So ends the college term. Sincerely. CLYDE R. BUTLER. Maddux. Mont.. March 31. 1925. Dear Senior Class: Spring is with us once more, bringing with it the graduation of another class. It also reminds one of the good times, we the class of C'24. had during our Senior year. And I don’t believe any of us really realize the true value of all we gained during the many hours of hard labor in the Building of Learning until they have become—let us see —schoolmarms. perhaps. Wishing the (Mass of ’lz much success and happiness in their way along the path of life, I am. Sincerely, BEATRICE STAFF. Nurses' Home. M. D. Hospital. April 4. 1925. Editor of the Annual: After varied and lengthy disputes as to which of us should write to the Annual, we decided that we’d all three put a hand to the task. We are certainly glad to learn that the (Mass of ’25 had the pep to undertake an Annual, and we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our copy, so that we may see the fruits of their labor. We have heard that many new changes have taken place, in and around the school from Vernon Fredlund’s rushing one of the grade teachers, to the school's new gym sprouting scaffolds. May we say a few words about ourselves? We have learned that we aren’t through studying and having exams; that all the good-looking young men patients aren’t single: that we must always be very dignified; that bobbed hair must be allowed to grow long, to be conducive of such a state: that night duty has its thrills: and that a party without a man (desirable as they may be) can be a huge success. We have learned to heed—tho not to love —these two phrases: “It's 10 o’clock, girls,’’ and at six A. M., “It’s time to get up.” We have had splendid times and narrow escape? on trips to Big Falls. Giant Springs. Rainbow Dam. Sun River. Bathing Beach, the Tourists’ Camp and the Detention Hospital (both in and out of an ambulance.) Just another word—but how shall we say it ? We send you our best wishes for a successful graduation and we hope the Annual “goes over with a boom. Sincerely. K. REDEKOP. F. GIBBS. N. SMITH. Missoula. Mont.. April 12. 1925. Dear Chinook High School Students: To you that are now nearing the time of graduation. I have but three words to say and they are: “Go to College. To you who in a few years will finish high school. I need add only this: “Prepare yourselves for college.” No doubt the idea of more school seems useless to you now. but sooner or later, you will realize the importance of that greater school life found in the university or college. Only five alumnal from C. 11. S. are present in the University of Montana. We who (Continued on page thirty-two)
