Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1929 volume:

Foreword In I his yew 's Rinirock ice lim e attempted to record the steps which the Eastern Montana oral a I School has taken in the past two years. H e have striven Fir greater progress, and we hope that during the time ice have spent in this school we have absorbed some of the steadfast spirit of the Rian oik: that we may undertake our future tasks with courage and faith in the power of the knowledge ice have gained here: and that as we go out from this institution we may carry with us higher ideals of service and a greater appreciation of the true values of life. — Mahki. Mac! )onai.d, Editor-in-Chief. KB 121 Tfie Things of the Spirit Usually it is true that those who have little in the way of material things have much in the way of spiritual things. We find this to he especially noticeable in the Eastern Montana Normal School during this, its second year. ()ur meager facilities have been crowded to the bursting point. Our students have walked miles each day through an unusually severe winter. Hut, in spite of discomforts, the pioneer spirit of last year has carried into this year. Attendance has been excellent, deliberate absence being unusual. Loyalty to the school has been ever present, although not effervescent. Interest has been at a high pitch. Hut the outstanding feature of the year has been the loyalty to the teaching ideal and the enormous amount of work that has resulted. To the faculty, experienced in the ways of students, this thirst for knowledge, this capacit) for long hours of work, this ability to set everything else aside in order to become a better teacher, is somewhat awe-inspiring, but. at the same time, it inspires tremendous respect and arouses great hopes for the educational future of Montana. The Spirit of Leaching is with us. —L. H. McMullen. f3| I ■ mum ii— ii i iim ibii ii i ' 'Dedications To the authorities of District umber I wo on (I to the supervising teachers thereof, who through their good will and cooperation have made so much of this year's work possible, ive, the student body of the Eastern Montana Sormal School, dedicate this second volume of the Kimrock.

It took the form of a “Historic Hall, in which an attempt was made to set a precedent for future classes. Kach member of the social committee had charge of a group which gave a presentation of one of the following: “Cieorge Washington at Valley Forge”; “In (i rand mother’s Day”; “Landing of the Pilgrims,” and the “Modern Girl.” [221 Class of 1930 In fear and trembling the parents of these bo s and girls sent them to this populous city of Hillings. In spite of the lack of dormitories in which to house them, they were well cared for, and showed remarkable ability in taking care of themselves. 1 hey no longer need their “make-up boxes” for Mother Nature paints a better picture, through their daily four or five-mile walk between buildings on the college campus. As a result we have a fine. hard group. [231 ■ The Progress of the School Thai the past year has been one of achievement nnI enjoymenl for the ioslern Montana Xnnnal is acknowledged. I he school eon riyhtfully boast of iis growth and success. The student body has enlarged; the faculty has been increased by six additions; clubs hove been organized—the school has broadened both physically and personally. 'I'hroiifjlwnl the past two years the spirit of the Tioneer has been the leading factor, and with the same spirit our (jrowth in the future should make a better and finer story for future annuals.

This club meets each Wednesday at 12:15 in the dining room of the Millings Commercial Club for the weekly luncheon of the student bod and the faculty. Kach week a chairman and three assistants are selected to prepare the program for the following week. The present permanent officers of the club arc Carlyle St. John, president; Iva Stevens, vice-president; and Margaret Nelson, secretary. I he meetings open with the singing of the Dovology In the student body followed by the song “ The more we are together.” After this the guests are introduced and announcements are made. Since these meetings constitute our weekly general assembly our programs are necessarily varied and range from the learned discourse to the impromptu performances reeking with wit and repartee indicative of the atmosphere of happy social contact. Dorothy Erickson has acted as song director and under her inspiring leadership our voices have united in singing the songs beloved hv the student body. Of these Just Around the Corner , and “Blue. Yellow, and Stone, remain the favorites. Many and varied have been the musical programs contributed for our enjoyment by members of the Women's Glee Club of the E. M. N. S.. faculty members, and tlie musical artists of Hillings and its vicinitv. Mam have been the entertaining and instructive talks given for our benefit by educators, social workers, and professional people who have come our way and tarried with us for a social hour. Hut among all our luncheon festivities four events are outstanding. The first of these was the interesting dinner rendered Vilhjalmur Stefansson, boyhood friend of Professor N. C. Abbott, and now one of the most famous explorers, authors and lecturers of the arctic regions. While our guest he cleared up in his matter-of-fact treatment of that chilly region mam erroneous ideas treasured by those ignorant of the true facts. The second big event was the graduation exercises in honor of vetta Pemberton, M is. Beatrice Burke Garr. and Mack Monaco, who graduated in December. Inspiring talks by Dr. McMullen and Prof. Leon R. Foote, special music, and presentation of diplomas comprised the program. A third event which will go down in the annals of the K. M. N. S. was the entertaining of about twenty members of the state legislature. They had a good chance to observe us as we went about our daily routine and seemed appreciative of our aims and efforts in the face of odds. On March 27 the Luncheon Club had the good fortune to have as guests, the noted composer, Charles Wakefield Cadman, and Madame Florence Heeler. Preceding the luncheon Madame Heeler sang several selections and during the program Mr. Cadman regaled us with his plans for his visit to Alaska in the near future. Other guests on this occasion were members of the music department of the Woman’s Club and members of the school board. 1271 Second Annual ‘Red Cross 4 Driven .Mi N c Abbott. chairman Vesta Knoke Until Shively .Mi .1 1- Hawkcs Itnt h tiarher Uuth Wyman .Mr. Chas.

The question tor debate this year was “Resolved that a Substitute for Trial by Jury Should be Adopted. We tried for the first time this year, the no decision system. No decisions were rendered either by judges 01 In the audience. This new system proved very satisfactory.

Cjlee Club This year the (iirls (ilee dub was s«� large that Mr. Kidglcv, the director, found it necessary to divide it into two sections. The entire group has been used to present the comic opera The Mikado,” in radio style. It will be presented in costume at the Commencement season and perhaps be repeated during the summer quarter. The organization has worked most industriously, and has furnished music at several public programs. )ne of the most appreciated activities w as the carol singing at the Christmas season. Hie girls are great boosters tor the glee club, and the entire school is justly proud of their achievements. The great thrill is in being chosen for the smaller group which takes a tour to several surrounding towns. There are twenty-two students in this group and their number is augmented by the addition of Dr. McMullen and Miss Stevenson as soloists, Miss Kinsey as accompanist and 130] Cjlee Club ( ontiuued piano soloist. Miss Dewey as dramatic reader and also as director of costumes and scenery assisted by Miss Ewing. The program presented was a varied one. Besides the scenes from the Mikado in costume, there were pastorals, Indian songs and religious selections by the chorus; Mr. Ridgley played a violin solo; the Ferguson sisters put on a “western special that was a scream; the ballet class wrote and presented a dance number; Miss Stevenson gave a Cossack dance in costume; Miss Dewey gave a dramatic reading and presented some members of the dramatic class in a one-act play. The climax of the program was a take-off on (irand Opera, the theme being a fire alarm in an apartment house. Margaret (iriffmg, Edna Sheidecker and Viola Monroe were the chief characters, the chorus acting as the other apartment d wellers. Everywhere this excellent program was enthusiastically received and the traveling troupe had a grand and glorious time, despite all the hard work. HU Katoya ‘Players I lie membership of the Katoya Players consists of the members of the class in Dramatic Art as well as those who are admitted by tryouts in poster designing, costuming or character work. I his organization furnishes a means of expression for those interested in dramatic art. Shortly before Christmas the play “Dawn was presented. This is the story of I lie Nativitv and was written, staged, and costumed by the Katoya Players under the direction of Miss Dewey. As a part of the Commencement Week program members of this group will give a three-act comedy entitled “Old Lady M.

It was decided that the membership he limited to those students who intend to follow teaching as a profession, and to faculty members, the former to he active members and the latter honorary or associate members. This is the first club of its kind to be organized in ICastern Montana Normal School. The club is indebted to Mr. Ora Dickson for it name, the I rail Mazers, which was chosen from a number of others by a committee on names.

March ninth, brought to an cm! this vear s basketball season. It was the last of five games with other colleges of the state. The feature of the season was a five-day trip through the northwest b the K. M. N. S. squad. Although the trip resulted in no victories tor the teachers, it afforded the members of the team a chance to compete with larger schools. The Panthers of Intermountain College were the first team played, with the School of Mines, and the State Normal at Dillon following. Intermountain Cnioit and the Ore Diggers from the mines were the onl schools playing return games. Considering the scarcity of the men students from which the squad was drafted, and the short hours for practicing, an excellent showing was made. Throughout the entire season the team displayed great fighting spirit and gameness against overwhelming odds. Kvcryonc feels that an excellent start has been made and that this ever-present fighting spirit will bring glory to the b. M. N. S. in the future. ‘ Physical Eel neat ion for Women HOW K DO I.IKb IO PbA't ! Most of the fall quarter we placed Primary, Intermediate and Upper Grade Plays and (lames. Then, too, we did some swimming. In the winter, when games could not be played out of doors, we played basket ball, and many were the sore muscles and crippled fingers after the strenuous practices. Desiring a change, we next played Volley ball. After a few weeks of hard drill in putting the ball over the net, we had a tournament between the teams of the different sections. When spring came we learned the intricacies of one of the most enjoyable games— I ennis. Then there was rivalry on the tennis court, for we all wished to play.

[40) Winners in the Meek Poetry Contest W inner of First Prize “SPRING IN MONTANA” By Roma St. John Spring comes riding on a sure-footed pony. She comes in the night with mists and a soft wind blowing. She follows the trail in the coulees at first Then rides for the hills, and waving her quirt, The ice in the streams start melting and flowing. 1 trailed her this morning by signs that I know, C lues left behind her like tracks in the snow. I found frittilaria peeping up all aglow A wood-pecker winked as he hammered his row— And the sun that all winter lay lazy abed W as shining at six. That’s how I know. A tall weeping willow, with the crown of a queen, Had lifted her branches of soft shining green, Airy and graceful as a bird on the wing As she leaned to admire herself in the stream. Oh. to be happy as a tree in the spring! Second Prize “FANTASY” By Mrs. Pari White Niell Like the noonday gleam of a butterfly’s wing, r a raindrop caught in a mist of tears The musical cadence of voices that sing, Are the fragments of song that a poet hears! Out of the ether, on waves of the air. Beauties he captures as the float along; Twines them in garlands and wreaths them like flowers, Strings them like pearls on the thread of his song. 'Pouches them lightly with magical power And fadeless they gleam thru the spells that he weaves, Fill our hearts are stirred by the loveliness there To-da as we dream o’er the poems he leaves.. 1411 Wiinters of the Dewey Informal Essay Contes First Place SAN ID Bv Carlyle Sr. John I had just been shown to my room ami had starred to unpack my bags, when mv new landlady, who bad started down the stairs, returned and remarked conversationally, “I hope Sandy will like you. He makes it very unpleasant for any one that he doesn’t like, in fact, the person who last had this room had to leave because Samh didn’t like him.” With these encouraging words she disappeared into the hall. And who, I wondered, might Sand) be? At am rate, he sounds quite terrifying.” During an interval of several da s following this incident 1 lived in foreboding anticipation, anxiously awaiting the arrival and inspection of the dreaded Sandy. All the inhabitants of the house that I had met so far seemed agreeable enough. Assuredly none of them were critical or unpleasant. m� I finally decided that Sandy must be the occupant of the doom opposite mine. Phis room had been vacant since my arrival, and Mrs. IF —, the landlady, had told me that it belonged to a man who had stayed with her for years, but who was now away on business and was soon to return. Having settled the question satisfactoril) in my mind, I promptly forgot all about it. )ne evening several days later, as 1 started up the walk to the house, I noticed a dog lying on the porch. He was, at the first glance, a very ugh dog, but there was something about the calm, self-possessed way in which he regarded me that made me stop and look at him more carefully. He was a large dog, squarely built and heavily muscled, with a broad, square head, and a pair of beseeching brown eyes. Beseeching? Well— no. That was not the word for them at the moment. They were slightly inquiring—slightly contemptuous, and altogether indifferent. Nice doggie.” I ventured, holding out m hand to him, and advancing slowly up the steps. The beast looked at me for a moment appraisingly, allowed his ga .e to wander out into the street, and then dropped his nose between his forepaws and closed his eyes with a bored sigh. It was beautifully done. I had been completely and utterl) snubbed. I crept humbly around him, opened the door, and started up to my room when Mrs. IF---------called to me from the kitchen. Did you see Sandy?” she asked. I replied that I hadn’t. “Why, lie was right here a moment ago,” she said anxiously. Yes, here he is on the porch. Light dawned upon me suddenly. 'This must he Sandy. Did he growl at you?” I told her that he had paid me no attention whatever, and she seemed much relieved. If he had growled at you, she said with finality, you would probably have had to leave, because you could never have made friends with him. Now. since he let you in, lie’ll probably let you come and go with no trouble. Right lu rr. I determined to make friends with Sand) it it could possibly be done. I'or days 1 talked to him without getting so much as an encouraging glance in response. Then I dared to pat his head. Still no acknowledgement of my existence. 1 had almost given up hope. Hut one day. when I had been patiently scratching his ears and talking to him. and had stopped to go down-town, he rhumped his tail on the floor and looked at me for a moment. 1 walked on. pretending not to notice, but 1 could hardly wait until I had walked down-town and hack, to see what he would do. He was there when I returned, and imagine im jot when he twitched his tail a little and cocked an ear at me. From then on. his tolerance ripened gradually into friendliness, and now. when I return from school or town, he greets me w ith a very affectionate demonstration. I am glad, too, tor I covet Sandy’s good will and esteem above that of most people. He has a distinct personality. 1 suspect him of being a seasoned student of human nature, a complete cynic, and thoroughly bored with life. Second Place DICKEY JOE” Hy Edna Turner Dickey Joe is one of the younger generation, decidedly younger, being fifteen months of age. His age. however, doesn't prevent him from having marked characteristics and tastes. His tastes are especial I different from the usual person’s. A most entertaining game for him is chasing dead flics. With one stubby fore-finger stuck out from the dimpled fist he pokes the fly cautiously, then gingerly inserts it between his six white teeth. Horritiediv we command him. “Spit it out. There’s a good baby. Spit it out.” One week Dickey had an orgy of bottle-breaking. His mother carefully swept up the glass and returned to her work. In a few minutes she said. “Dickey Joe, you’re so quiet. What are you doing, honey hunch?” Not being answered by his usual combination of Crow Indian and Italian language, she decided to investigate. Dickey was placidly teething on a broken piece of bottle. Another characteristic is his fondness for his bath. In fact he drinks it. whole swallows of it. Dickey Joe adores attention. Finding Mother and Dad busy with their papers and apparently oblivious of him. he “Scoots” to a commanding position and gives a veil that would turn an Apache green with envy. Naturally Mother and Dad sit bolt upright ami look outraged as well as startled. Just as they are read) to shame him he crosses his rosy hands, palms outward, over his face, peeps through, and grins the most beguiling, devil-may-care grin one ever saw. 1 he combination is an impossible one to resist, and Dickey Joe has achieved his goal, attention.

The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its follow men ill drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again. It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with human kindness blest. It's worth a million dollars and doesn't cost a cent. There is no room for sadness where we see a cheer smile; It always has the same good luck, it's never out of style. It nerves us on to trv again when failure makes us blue; The dimple of encouragement is good for me and you. It pays a higher interest for it is merek lent. It's worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent. A smile comes easily enough, a twinkle in the eye Is natural and does more good than any long-drawn sigh. It touches on the heart strings till the quiver blithe and long And always leaves an echo that is ven like a ong. readier, please take this advice, and smile, smile away.
