She’s practically in- dispensable, thinks Secretary Klinefelter. ♦ ♦ ♦ AN ATTRACTIVE AD- DITION in the registrar’s office is Mildred Taylor. A standard graduate. she taught school at Inshu on the Indian reservation, as well as in a school near Richardton, and also was em- ployed at the Dickinson ex- periment station before com- ing to her present place in January. She succeeded Gen- evieve Switzer, who was un- able to resist the call of Uncle Sam, and went to Washington to take a posi- tion. (Bill Buresh, a DSTC grad, works down there, too.) Poking around in the main hall, the man with the flashbulbs found Miss Maude Klinefelter and persuaded her to pose. She is the one to whom we give our money at the beginning of each quarter, and even if we don't have the cash, she still has that smile saying welcome. She has been here longer than anyone connected with the institution and is always willing to give information or other help. CHARLES A. BUGBEE, registrar, is well-liked by all. He has a cheery Good Morn- ing and a big smile for everyone. He is a good mix- er with everybody, including the students, and shows his ability in this field especially at school parties. His duties of handling data on the per- sonnel of the school are exe- cuted with accuracy and ef- ficiency. IN THE BOOKSTORE we are met by Marion Gard- ner. who. smiling, asks what there is she can help us with, such as a three-cent stamp, a candy bar, or an additional reference book. No matter what it is. she graciously gets it. You can always rely on her during bookstore hours. As a conversational- ist, she is nearly always jolly, and some of her humorous remarks create many a laugh. ♦ QUIETNESS, e f F I- CTENC’Y, and dark eyes de- scribe the office assistant.

THE FIRST DAY - - - Hundreds Gather At DSTC For Annual Fall Roundup On Tuesday. September 10. 1940, a great gather- ing of tenderfeet took place near the central ranch house, commonly known as the State Teachers College, at Dickinson. The day before, the older hands had showed up to make arrangements for their winter’s provisions. But back to our tenderfeet. “Who’s that tall, earnest-looking man over by the fence?” said Irene Miller, to John Bach, who looked ns though he might know. “Oh. that man? Why, he’s the owner of this whole spread! Scott’s the name,—Charles E. Scott, they call him. Nice man to work for, I hear.” “He been here long?” “This is his second year as boss of the spread. He’s been in these parts for a good long spell, though. Came here ’way back in the ’20’s. Well, the tenderfeet were herded together in the big corral, where the bosses, directed by E. S. Hatch, arranged about bunks, chow, and entertainment. All the youngsters joined the chow line and saw many of the sights. First off. they visited the Reg- ister of Brands. Charley Bugbee, who passed on their letters of application. They found Charley plump, efficient, and anxious to keep everything on the spread in motion. CHARLES E. SCOTT President Then the tenderfeet got their stock of reading matter from Marion Gardner, cheery and proper be- hind her high counter where she keeps the stocks of books. Finally they stopped at the ranch strong-box and left part of their gold for safekeeping and some to pay part of the cost of their keep.
