THE SENTINEL 19 2 4 J ,-f., AwiMti- of the UrrCJuh ANNABELLE JACK MORI ARTY TURNS ANNABELLE AND TELLS US HOW ANNA-BILL COGSWELL FINDS IT IN HAWAII Hilo. Hawaii Dear Maw: Sometimes I wish that I had not Married this man thai I have caught; I wouldn ' t if I ' d ever thought I would be so lonesome. I ' m longing for the University Where there is so much diversity And the grading curve ' s perversity — I learned them words at the U7 Rut for that grade curve, I will bet I would be on the campus yet; I sure made it a point to get A good deal of my lessons. Better marks I could have made By taking profs out in the shade : Til at s how most girls make the grade — Hut that ' s another grade curve. But as it is I gotta cook From recipes wrote in a book, To fill my husband ' s breakfast nook. He sure has got a big one. Well, Maw, I ' ll have to end this letter; I think, maybe, that I ' ve wrote better For that long-geared Irish Setter To publish in the Kaimin. I lay down my pen and say farewell Your loving daughter, ANNABELLE- V ' iiiitim Cag$ eU

ONE V K A R 0 F C O L I, K (i K for the year ] A MK , was: hoard £l. r ) h room S10, per month. This mack; the hull an Inexpensive as well as a very comfort- able place to stay. The building program of 1903 also in- cluded the old gymnasium. The gym was used after completion for the weekly classes in Calisthenics, organized for all students. Due ;o the efforts of C. II. McLeod, a Missoula business man, the new gym was equipped with modern apparatus. This, of course, furth- ered the athletic spirit of the school and the University soon became a member of the Northwest Inter-collegiate Athletic association. The year of 1A04 will perhaps be most remembered as the inaugural year of the annual I ul erst hoi as tic field and rack- meet. All high schools throughout the state were extended an invitation that year to compete in such a meet under the auspices of the University of Mon tana. Prizes were offered in athletic events and in declamation contests, Nineteen schools were represented in the field contests and 17 in the declamation. Since that time the Interscholastie has become one of the most noted track meets of its kind in the United States and this year nearly 90 high schools were represented. In 1906 the students totalled more than 400, and feeling the need of organiza- tion they formed the Associated Students of Ihe University of Montana, All the faculty (then numbering 20), the student body, and all alumni were made members of the association. The aim of the organi- zation, according to its first report, was to have control over all matters of studenl concern. C. A. Duniway succeeded Dr. Craig as president of the University. The school had outgrown the preparatory department which was discontinued with the close of that school year. The graduating class of 1906 included 27 members and the en- rollmenl was Hearing 500 students annu- ally. A glimpse back at these firs( imfKirtant events in the growth of our present school will show one how the University has swiftly broadened both physically and personally. With the coming of the stu- denl organization tame Ihe traditions, such as Singing on the Steps which was started by Professor Sibley, as a rally before games. It was first conducted on the steps of the old Science Hall. Then came Aner Day in honor of Professor Aber, who was deeply interested in beautifying the campus, and the host of other traditions which have grown with and which have become part of the school itself. The new residence halls, she gym, the library and the new forestry building, were the result of the bond issue of 1021. These improvements have modernized and made our school one of the bos! in the North west This year nearly 1500 students have been registered in the University. Twenty- si x states, as well as three foreign countries, are represented. Its athletic re- lations have broadened and now Montana is a member of both the Northwestern and Pacific ( ' oast athletic conferences. Through all of our past history the spirit of Up With Montana has been the lead ing factor and with this same spirit our growth in the future should make a better and finer history for future annuals.
