Meek. Meekie to many, who had a large share in the development of the school, and particularly of the English department, from 1928-1947. Her contribution as faculty advisor to the ‘'Rim-rock,'' the annual of the past, when she gave liberally of her time and experience, was a large factor in its success. Miss Meek's broadmindedness, her wide range of interests, her friendliness, added to her technical skill and complete knowledge of her subject, all contributed to make her an outstanding teacher whose influence has been felt throughout Montana. Her annual Christmas letter was something to be anticipated and cherished. In gratitude for her wholehearted service to the school, we affectionately dedicate our 1948 Annual to her. It is the development of moral power that has become one of the foremost aims of our schools and colleges. To expound the principle of equal freedom and equal rights for all men, regardless of faith or color, requires the highest type of courage. Today, more than ever before, the ideals upon which Americanism was founded must become a guide not only to our own citizens, but to the citizens of the world. A full realization of democracy at home and in our schools is essential before willing adoption of this idea becomes a reality in other lands. One of the fundamental ideals of democracy is the high worth and dignity of the human being as an individual. This is based on the premise that upon us have been bestowed certain inalienable righte which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Upon education rests a very large responsibility for establishing a full realization of the meaning and value of our democratic way of life. Education must give more attention to the development of a sensitiveness to justice, equality, self reliance, tolerance, and the spirit of compromise and cooperation. This is a task that should challenge our youth. It is a task that is worthy of their most ardent loyalty. Dr. A. G. Peterson Mr. Lincoln J. Aikins Dean of the Basic College Registrar “We are proud of the record our pre-professional students are making in other colleges.” Dr. John Morton Dean of Elementary Education The education department at Eastern is making every effort to train the highest type of teachers for Montanas youth through a modern program of teacher education.

The three main purposes are to foster common aims and a spirit of fellowship among education students at Eastern, to acquaint future teachers with a working knowledge of their professional organization local, state, and national, to give education students an organization in which to study their own education problems.

Each week-end a chartered bus took skiers to the ski run. On Friday, January 30, the club sponsored a dance, at which new pairs of skis and poles were given away. The club also sponsored the ski team, the members of which were determined by competitive ski races, to represent the school at the state collegiate Ski Meet at Missoula in March.

CHAMPIONS OF THE MONTANA-DAKOTA SMALL COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE WAS THE TITLE EARNED BY COACH OSCAR BJOR-GUM S YELLOWJACKETS IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COMPETITION, 1947. THE JACKETS WON THREE, TIED ONE. AND LOST ONLY ONE GAME TO ANNEX THE CONFERENCE TITLE. Losing their first conference tiff to a scrappy, pass-happy Carroll college eleven by a score of 56-0 left the Jackets in a wary yet determined mood. The next opponent, Montana Normal of Dillon was held to a 0-0 tic. The Jackets showed their stuff in this game by out pointing their opponents in every department: yards gained, first downs, and yards by rushing. Returning to Billings, and with a rabid student body cheering section urging them on, the Jackets shellacked the visiting Black Hills State Teachers of Spearfish with a 12-0 shutout, establishing a scoring habit that the injury weakened Jackets clung to for the rest of the season. C. Gullickson J. Walker Next to fall before the meager but mighty forces of the Yellowjackets. Montina School of Mines husky eleven tasted the bitter end of another 12-0 score. Bob Zupan left the game-with a compound dislocated elbow, to join Dick Harris (broken leg), Ray Dodds (shot up shoulder) and Dick Bjorgum (separated shoulder) on the bench for the rest of the season. The only night game of the season was played on a snow covered field. For the final time Eastern s iron men rang up a 12-0 score—winning the conference crown— against North Dakota State Teachers of Dickinson. Bill Ratkovitch joined the ranks of the injured with a serious knee injury which kept him out of college the winter quarter. Co-captains Clayton Cakie Gullickson, 220 pound tackle, and little halfback Jimmy Walker are to be congratulated on their superb field generalship. Eastern's team was outweighed by all opposing elevens, but no group of men showed more heart or spirit on any gridiron in the country. Two deserving and worthy co-captains, Carl Spot Johnson and Pat Barrett will take over in 1948. Coach Bjorgum has high hopes for the coming season. The tentative schedule for 1948 calls for three home ames and three away. HOME Oct. 8 or 9—Montana Normal College (Dillon) at Eastern. Oct. 22 or 23—Carroll at Eastern. Oct. 29 or 30—S. D.

However, the Jackets wound up the season with the rather peculiar record of three losses, one win. and one tie. Hopes of winning the Montana Small College Sports Carnival baseball crown were blown to bits, literally, by a capricious wind, stirred up by Carrol College s guardian angels, which resulted in Eastern coming out on the small end of a 8-6 score. Pitching honors for the season by all odds belong to Paul Stark, who fanned 13 RMC batters on April 28, and furthered his reputation with 16 strikeouts against Montana State College on May 23.
