The 19 2 8 R i m r o c k 21 rtDebate. Susan E. Uhrich Beatrice Whitford Marie Ciiesick Billings Forsyth Billings Margaret Nelson Belfry On March 2, the Dillon Teachers College debating team came to Billings, and debated against the Eastern Montana Normal School team. The question for debate was —Resolved: That the United States should cease her policy of protecting, by armed intervention, capital invested in foreign countries, except after a formal declaration of war. The team from Dillon debated the negative side of the question while the home team upheld the affirmative side of the argument. Our team kept the affirmative side in all of their debates. We debated with the teams from Intermountain Union College, Helena, Junior College, Thermopolis, and School of Mines, Butte. In four encounters, Eastern Montana Normal School lost twice and won twice. With the exception of Margaret Nelson, the debating squad was chosen from the class in theory of debate, under the instruction of Miss Martha E. Dewey. J. L. Hawkes, social science instructor, and veteran of many debates, is the normal school debate coach.

26 The 1 928 Rim rock r Songs We Sing at Luncheon It hasn't been long since we started, But we re sure going at it whole hearted, And we’re getting along, Singing a song Side by side. We’re glad that we're here in old Billings, Though we certainly need a few more things, But we’re doing our best, Without all the rest Side by side. We haven't any buildings—that we can call our own, But they soon will be forthcoming With the progress we have shown. The faculty’s able and willing. The students are earnestly drilling, We're setting a pace To stay in the race Side by side. —Margaret Griffinc, ’29 JUST AROUND THE CORNER Just around the corner if you’re honest and true, Just around the corner may be success for you. Keep a little smile on—that’s the right thing to do. In a little while your troubles All will vanish just like bubbles. Just around the corner lies a future for you, Waiting till the work of Normal days is thru. Even though the work is lonely, Success will come from working only, Just around the corner from you. —Margaret Griffinc, ’29 TIIE RED CROSS DRIVE I he annual Red Cross drive was sponsored by the Normal School and carried on by committees from the Senior and Junior classes. The Juniors were victors in the race for memberships with 450; the Seniors had 440. The amount thus raised for the Red Cross was £890.45 which was more than the quota for the entire county.

28 The 1928 Rimrock tJMusic i The Womens Glee Club was organized during the first quarter by Professor C. V. Ridgelv with an enrollment of forty. So large a turn-out of such excellent voices is quite remarkable for a school of this size. The first annual tours of this club included Worden, Roundup, Lavina, Broadview, and Columbus. The program not only features the Glee Club, but also a one-act play, stunts, dances, and solos of various kinds. The Glee Club has also been asked to broadcast from the local radio station and is now preparing for these programs. This organization promises to be one of the most popular and best directed of its kind in the entire state. Mr. Ridgely is also organizing a string and brass orchestra which he hopes will include twenty pieces. Judging by the progress shown, the orchestra will soon be able to make its formal appearance. It, like the Glee Club, promises to be a popular ensemble.
