Sketch Club's exhibit of modern art by C. S. Price, like its spring quarter showing of photographic art, was important to Eastern for two reasons. Possibilities of making the Eastern of the future the cultural center of Billings were seen, for many non-students showed their interest. And students looked, talked and disagreed: they all gained something from the discussions and comments provoked by the show. and the cvdA WeAe qiVen Voice and Vision On Borrowed Time, we were told, was one of those nerve-wracking production . Scripts arrived late, so it was produced with only 24 last-minute rehearsals. However, much time and good artistic sense were spent on the scenery, representing a child's view of the world, and on the acting. The result was a light comedy sufficient to induct interested neophyte.: into dramatics activity.

How could twenty or thirty nameless, youthful faces unnerve a college person? wo discovered that, as the days went by, the kids’ characteristics and personalities became familiar to the helping teacher studying through the magnifying glass of experience. From the experience, the prospective teacher would be made aware of the unexpected reactions which can arise in the handling of children—The veteran of this ordeal should be oetter prepared to teach. The hard core of elementary education training, we realized, is practical experience. And the students told us that they now realized that teaching would be a wonderful profession. Professedly, 98 per cent of Eastern’s education students were members of MEA. This constituted a potential bloc of 49 per cent of the entire student body, unbeatable in campus affairs if organized, we realized. But exploitation of minority groups was far from the minds of its leaders; under Nicholson and Carbone and Smith and the others, members were given insights into the professional outlets of teaching at Tuesday night sessions of lectures, discussions and advice. And through this form of teachers' union, experience in participating in and using practical politics for professional ends was gained. Joyce Peterson. Ray Frank. Dolly Voyich, Cleona Smith.

We saw him immersed in transcripts and recommendations, using his broad knowledge of the Montana education scene to place round people in round positions. Notices of work during the school year made the bulletin board outside the office a popular calling place. Mary Chick, Dorothea Gaiser, Pat Marvel
