Eaton and Ernest T. Eaton. They it was who came forth so nobly live years ago to found and assume the burdens of our institution, and who have put forth daily almost superhuman ellfortsv striving to lift the Poly- technic to a higher plane in the educational world: they who have won a place in the heart of every member of the student body on account of their firm yet ever loving disposition, their noble. upi ight character, always bearing a beautiful relation to both God and man, and using in all things a practical wisdom. The two men whom we all feel secure in taking as an example out into the battles of life: the men upon whom it seems even God has set his seal-to men such as this it is that we respectfully pay these tributes in dedication. .-5- i w 1 1 1 3 I I I H Editorial Introduction A record of the happenings and achievenents of the year is herein chronicled and photographed. A typical specimen of all the various activities incident to real college life has been portrayed, or at least this has been the serious intent of the editors. In the preparation of this book we have endeavored to make it a souvenir, not altogether for the students of this year, but for those of the past years, and for those that are yet to come. NYe have been seriously handicapped by being compelled by unusual circumstances, to await the beginning of the work of editing the annual until late in the year, though we make no apology for that. XYhile it has been a laborious task to compile the book, it has indeed been a pleasant one, and it is the earnest hope of the editors that those who read it may have imbued again into their very beings, the spirit of the dear old i'Poly. XYe trust that to the Alumni this little book will be a pleasant reminder of the bygone school days: to the graduating class we hope that it will preserve the memories and incidents of their last year at the Tech: to the members of the large Polytechnic family that still remain. we hope that this chronicle of the year's events mav be heartilv welcomed: and to our friends. whoever you are, and wherever you may be, we give this fifth volume of the Poly. and extend to you the heartiest greetings of the year. May you read it and enjoy it: enjoy it so much that you will have a lingering desire in your hearts to read it over and over again, and so live over once more the days of your hte at the Polytechnic.

It is there that a person's thought habits are formed and the foundation laid for future preparation in college. English Grammar, as taught by the majority of educational institutions of the coun- try, may be studied to give knowledge of the evolution of the language, to furnish the information of past ages, to develop the aesthetic taste and to stimulate the imagination. This is probably a fair and just method of instruction, but more and more are the insti- tutions and colleges in the field of education of the present day coming to a realization of the fact that, not only English Grammar but the other important branches, for sub- jectsj associated with it in the academic courses, as sociology, psychology, etc., should be studied to give facility in the use of language as a tool The overteaching of litera- ture to the neglect of the more practical subjects for the average boy 'and girl of the Northwest today, has brought criticism against the methods of teaching employed in the public schools. Therefore the reason, probably, in recent years, for instruction in com- position. E The Billings Polytechnic is one of the first institutions of the Northwest to come to a realization of this fact, and acts accordingly. It places special emphasis upon thorough preparation in all subjects during the Academic course. For the student who finds it impossible to supplement his preparatory education by a college course, this training in a college atmosphere and under college influence, is of the greatest advantage. He gains here a broader View of life, and comes in touch with ennobling influences which are bound to prove beneficial in later life. To the student who aims at finishing a regular college course, our Academic course as outlined for the ensuing year, not only offers a practical solution of the problem of preparatory college work, but also offers invaluable instruction to the boy or girl Without .-171 THE POLY the necessary means of higher education when they have finished here. Without doubt the most important additions to the Academic course this year have been those of Psychology and Sociology. The purpose of adding psychology to the regular Academic course was simply to arouse a deeper interest in a general science of far-reaching and practical importance to every individual. Many of the problems of deepest interest and some of the most val- uable material is ,not presented in the subject matter of the general text-book on psychol- ogy today. To create a wide and permanent interest in any science it is a necessity to add facts to that science. It is a proven fact that fundamental and practical psychology can be made intensely interesting and educative to the general public as well as to the college student. The subject is taught in such a way as to be easily comprehended by the beginning student. to the extent of luring him on and filling him with an enthusiasm to know and with a desire to solve, the problems of life and conduct. The whole subject is a stim- ulns that sets the soul on Ere. Striving for deiinitions and distinction is to be avoided in the beginning of such a subject as this. It is, moreover, dangerous, and leads to the greatest disease in all educa- tion,-that of word-learning. To know life-especially human life-in its deepest and best sense, to the end of making it fuller and richer, should be the end of all study. In the main, education is a process of weeding out and of selection more than of creation.

And so, one might as well learn to speak correctly as to make mis- takes and use poorly chosen words every time he wants to utter a thought. It has been said that girls, especially, are happiest when talking. Possibly that is why so many girls avail themselves of the opportunity of learning to substitute English for the jargon with which their verbal gunneries are loaded when they come to us. Aye, verily, they can hurl slang and colloquial English at one until he gives in to them just to save his ears. Ain't chu fyouj awful lonesome and He clone that pretty good, are really mild in comparison with some that we hear. You boys who have been reading this are congratulating yourselves that the girls caught it this time and not you. But to be perfectly frank, they, in their English, are but an example of you in yours. And so, while the girls with their perfectly good excuse, for they must live up to their reputation, always flock eagerly to the English rooms, yet the girls are not there alone. They must share class room work with the boys. And it is well that it is so, for here they all begin to gain at least a vague and hazy idea of what English really is. lYords seem capable of classification, sentences stand out in their minds as indicative of complete thoughts. case uses and verb forms take on a new significance and adjust themselves to certain logical principles, and all this, too, not without reason. But when, later on, the possibilities in choice of words appeal to them, and the use of slang and Campus English begins to grate upon their ears and nervous sensibilities, then do the in- structors seem pleased and lean back in their chairs with complacent smiles of satisfaction, as they contemplate the young hopefuls who have been so diligently studious. But we are curtailing our opportunities to advance if we expect or even hope to be able to perfect our own speech without studying carefully, and assimilating into our own mentality, the best usage of English as illustrated by the artists of thought expression. -Xnfl for this reason it is that we offer extended work in Literature. Everyone, except possibly the self-assured Senior, admits that there have been greater minds and capabilities than his: therefore, we toil over the masterpieces of literature, thinking after them the words of authors, learning some of their most excellent and attractive passages, and, best -191 THE POLY of all, coming finally to live as they lived, uplifted into a high realm of feeling and emotion combined with an ability to give that feeling beautiful expression. Though we cannot all be Brownings or Shakespeares. yet life's scope is enlarged when we follow the trail of thought left by eminent writers in their most approved works. As soon as one knows a member of a family who pleases him, he is only too glad to make the acquaintance of the other members of that family. And having made that acquaintance. the second and later friendship is sealed and made a permanent source of joy for its own merits and for its relation to the source of that first freindship. So it is with work in the languages. Let us, as all must necessarily do. become familiar with the English language. Then if our love for our own tongue be sufficiently well developed, we shall wish to take another step-to learn its parent-Latin. At first that parent seems to be cold and reserved. and to repulse advances toward familiarity, but that is merely, we learn later, to test the worthiness of the stranger. XVhen anyone has learned to under- stand and appreciate Latin, its charm and value is patent: no longer do we'say, VVhat is the use of studying anything so hard, especially as it is a dead language ? Then it is, that we realize that it is not a dead language, but it is living today, and always will live, a perennial fountain of pleasure. XYe must not forget, however, the close relation existing between Latin and Ancient History. .PX close study of Latin gives us an idea of the private and public life of the Romans such as we could End nowhere else. Then there is, too. in that way, la bond of sympathy and understanding established which makes the Latin authors seem a living personality rather than a mere historical figurehead. To this benefit is added the thought that thus our vocabulary is increased. and as the history and derivation of various words is understood. so is there a nicer appreciation of the comparative value of different words realized. Latin always has demanded a keen mind and always will demand one as entrance fee. Hut in return, it gives to the student the power of penetration, perception. and judg- ment-these three-and the greatest of these is-hard to select. But powerful as the Romans have been in the past, there is a people today who interest us, whose thoughts and ideals are contemporaneous with ours-and they are our friends across the big pond-the Germans. There was once a man who shot an apple off from a boy's head and until you know that fact and his reason for so doing. your education has been neglected. Hut to be serious, let us remember how this language is to be catalogued. ft, too, is a descendant of Latin, and so must be a cousin of English. And when we have mastered this language, we know that it is a worthy cousin. German has another advantage. In all but nationality. you can become German. You can learn to speak it fluently, to write it in the good German way, and even to think in it. To this add the acquirement of a liking for 'kraut and you are really German, tho the census taken puts you in the category of Americans. In short, you will feel at home in the German settlement, or at the Passion Play 'at Oberammergau. Speaking of German recalls to mind the fact that there is another germ here which will, before we are cognizant of its existence,urst forth, a full grown demand for other modern languages, Spanish and French will soon become a crying need in our school. Already we have had calls for these subjects and evidently the day of their teaching is not far off. Japanese is taught in the kitchen to all who beg an extra lunch, and in- formal classes in Norwegian and Scandinavian were organized some time ago among the foreign element. Some of the more advanced students in these courses were able to ask or answer at least three questions in the languages just named. The language department is happy over the number of students it has enrolled in its classes, and the day is near at hand when a greater corps of department teachers will be needed to meet the demands of our language students. -20- U Reading and Public Speaking One of the most important departments of the Polytechnic, and one upon which much emphasis is placed, is the Department of Reading and Speaking. Few people have learned how to read. Almost any one can speak words, but the aim of the Polytechnic Reading department is to train the student to give thought and not merely words. In order to be able to give thought, it is necessary for a speaker first to gain the thought for hirnself from the printed page. True reading is to speak in a natural way so that the hearers forget that a person is reading and imagine he is speaking his own words. Une of the purposes of the Reading department is to train the future teachers of this region to be able to teach the pupil, from the time he begins school until he has iinished this branch, to read properlyg that is to say, T see a cat, really seeing the cat in his mind and then telling about it, rather than for him to say, T-see-a-c-a-t-cat. If every teacher could but have the conception of what reading really is, and its importance, this country would be nlled with good readers. The student is taught to study the words of a sentence and to get a thorough con- ception of the meaning of words as used in different ways. He studies selections in a. way that makes the thought his thought: and the words used, his words: thereby increasing his vocabulary and ameliorating his use of English. By studying the works of various authors. the student is able to receive the best and highest thoughts of the greatest men of all literary ages. Since reading is the basis of all other subjects, all stu- T 'f dents are required to take at least one year's work in this if ii department. The second and third year's work is elec- g :E , 6 tive. A suflicient number of classes is maintained to Rfk '59 meet the needs of the students in any stage of advance- gi ,Z :Q 4.2: lila W ment. Those who wish may specialize in this work. 5 1 ,KL 5, inlet ? Many take the entire three-year course in connection with f other courses in the Institute T iiii if It is a rare art to be able to speak well and with perfect composure and control of one's self in public. Yet it is an accomplishment nearly every one wishes and needs a great many times. For this reason the students of the Reading department are required to give readings, first before their own class and when they have thoroughly mastered the selection. they appear on a public program, sometimes before large audiences Along with the other high grade work done in the Reading department, classic dramas are studied and presented. This year members of the reading classes have given two classic plays: Milton's Samson Agonistesu and Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. These plays were deeply studied and then presented in such a way that the audience could grasp the full meaning of the author and not merely the plot and incidents of the dramas. Another feature of the Reading department is the training in story-telling. Noth- ing is more entertaining than a good story, and one is often in a position where he is looked to as a leader in entertainment. For this reason, students are trained to tell stories and myths in an interesting way. This training can add much to the culture and refine- ment of the student. Through its Reading department the Polytechnic has been able to reach out to the surrounding towns and assit them in special meetings and services by sending readers and speakers to them. This is one way of interesting people who have before perused only the books and reading of the hour, in the highest and best literature. ll .il-Hstory and Economicsl-.. During the past school year the students enrolled in the Department of History and Economics have shown a most remarkable interest in their work, and the progress made by the different classes has been unusually gratifying to students and instructors alike. This is due entirely to the manner in which the subjects have been handled. It has been realized that history, when it consists merely of a few tables of dates. names, etc., with the customary amount of blood and thunder stories thrown in, is at the best so dull an.l meaningless that the average student soon learns to hate it almost as much as he should. llut when history is taken to be the life story of humanity. and is studied with an eye to determining what have been the real underlying causes of human conduct: when we cease to be satisfied with what and begin to turn our attention to how and why : then history becomes the most fascinating, the most vitally interest- ing- of all studies. Treated in this light, it becomes necessary to place special emphasis upon the importance of the social, religious, political, and economic phases of historical cvcnts. Thus the understanding of history necessitates the consideration of sociology, with its complementary subjects-religion and ethicsg political and industrial economy, and fwlfsws of civil government. ' ' at have we done? XYe have taken the most unattractive subject on the list . 'cl it into the most entertaining. XYe have made of a heretofore meaning- Qi 'lure ation of facts. a course of study so intensely absorbing that once one starts L 'fs ocrusal he can never turn back. ' 2 rt--ults? XYell, instead of turning out upon society a crammed graduate, 'ii ing' the world an intelligent citizen capable of acting wisely in any matter of 1 ,M-. wilt. Ii athematics and Science XYe seldom stop to think that it has required centuries to develop the one branch of science which is so essential to every-day life, this being the branch of mathematics. If we look into the ages passed. we find that a crude form of arithmetic was in use over four thousand years ago among the Egyptians. The next marked progress was among the Babylonians where they applied arithmetic and the fundamentals of geometry to astronomy. Rapid and steady progress was not made until the founding of the, famous Greek schools in the sixth century B. C.. From this time on the great mathematicians made new discoveries until at the present day we have many different branches of this art. Among the most noted mathematicians are: Arabians, Hindoos, Greeks, and Egyptians. From this time on, the noted mathematicians from Egypt, Babylon, Hindustan, Ara- bia and Greece, made new discoveries, solved new problems, and developed numerous for- mulas till we now have several branches of this science. NVhile the people of ancient times had to have some knowledge of mathematics for their every-day life, it is far more important that the people of today should be a master of the fundamentals of this study. Continued on Page One Hundred Thirty-six H ormal pDepar1fmeni r A GROUP OF NORMALS' The Normal department of the Polytechnictlnstitute has been organized with the be- lief that the child should be educated in a way that will enable him to live a helpful life: that more stress should be placed on his qualities of character, and his power to dog that the school life should be a continuation and enlargement upon the true home life, and not a training separate and apart. The slavish use of the text-book is a thing of the past. Half of the time spent in try- ing to learn a hard lesson out of a book is time thrown away, which should be utilized in doing some kind of work in which the pupil is genuinely interested. As the end of scholastic discipline is to get all of the knowledge and truth, thought and fancy, wit and wisdom from the printed page, the text-book must not be discarded but given its proper place in the scheme of education. Education is more than a training for life, it is life itself. All of the capabilities of the pupil should be brought into action. For this reason our Normal rooms are being con- verted into veritable workshops where mental, formal, and physical instruction supple- ment each other. Here the student has an opportunity to react upon society and to de- velop his own personality. The time which was wasted under the old system is given to the working out of some practical problem, the nature of which depends upon the needs of the people interested. Our Normal students are learning to weave rugs, caps, pillow tops: to do paper cut- ting illustrating some object in nature, or some story we have readg to make basketsg to do card-board construction work, which paves the way for the later work with tools: to do stencil and applique workg to do plain sewing and cookingg to do practical gardening while studying soil and plant life: to make booklets for cooking recipes, paper cuttings, drawings, poems, and stories: to bind magazines and books: to figure out real problems in plastering, papering, finding the capacity of tanks, finding the number of plants required Continued on Page One Hundred Thirty-seven H Engineering eparimenf EI Fl if if i QQFSLN Elf Je r j 'iii it 'Q 7' -N Z-, Eff:- I i f' . i 9.

In the first place we have begun our shop building which, when fin- ished, will be among the very best in the XVest. We have enough of the building finished to accommodate every one at present. During the summer we expect to continue the work and will be rea-ly for a much larger attendance. ln the second place, our engineer- ing course is being changed. During the first term of each year an experimental course fffifida WILLING ENGINEERS in electrical engineering will be required of all engineering students to acquaint them with the more simple phases of the work and inspire thein to do their best in order to reach a point where they may go deeper into the science of engineering.

By a self-supporting and useful citizenis not meant one who simply furnishes the means of sustenance for himself and family. lYhile that is essential, more is necessary. He must do not only that, but he must contribute something, even tho it be but small. to the public good. In every individual, there exists certain faculties or capabilities upon the development of which much depends. So much, in fact, that it often means the difference between suc- cess and failure. It is true that these are often hidden from sight and may never even be dreamed of until brought to light by some apparent accident. But it is the discovery and development of these faculties which is the second aim of education. In agricultural education, these principles still hold true, for no one can deny that it is a large and important feature of the entire educational system. But it was not long ago that the farmer was looked down upon as occupying the lowest round of the social ladder, and even now one sometimes hears a person sneer at the educated farmer. Therefore agricultural education must do at least two things: first, it must make him effi- cient in a business way: and second, it must teach him to become an intelligent and broad- minded member of society. To attain the first object, it is necessary that a certain amount of technical or voca- tional training be given. 'lmhe time has passed when it was thought that anyone could be a farmer, regardless of his qualification, for the realization has come, that there is no occupation in which more careful and thorough study and investigation are necessary. As in all vocational training. theory and practice must go together. This principle is not al- ways recognized, for it is easier to teach a mass of general, present-day agricultural prac- tice, than it is to apply the underlying principles to cases arising in every-day life. But this must be done, for in this age of rapid advancement along all lines, the present-day ..2 51 THE POLY practices will soon be superseded by others radically different and the old information will be practically worthless. But while all this is necessary, the broader and more human side of agriculture must not be forgotten. The farmer is not only a toiler, a tiller of the soil, he is moreg he is a member of society, and as such, possesses certain privileges and owes certain duties which are entirely outside the province of his vocation. Therefore he should be given the chance to obtain that broader training without which the best and most evenly balanced develop- ment is impossible. Nearly everyone, when about to choose the profession or occupation to which he is about to devote his energies and faculties, looks first at the opportunity or opportunities which the various callings afford. Tn agriculture there are at least three different lines from which a choice may be made. These three are: the actual pursuit of farming, the teaching of agriculture in high schools or colleges, and the Civil Service or government work. The criticism is often made that the boy educated in an agricultural school does not often return to the farm because there are no opportunities there. This may have been true in the past, but in the future it will not be true. It is coming to be recognized more and more that the farm as a purely business proposition affords as great opportunities as are found in any other line of business. In the old days, which have passed away forever, farming was not a capitalized business, and the owner of a farm seemed content with obtain- ing a fairly comfortable living. But all that is rapidly changing and at the present time the business methods used by the managers of the great mercantile houses are being used for the management of farms with successful results. Then, too, the increasing number of tracts of land taken up by individuals or corporations, not for speculation but for culti- vation. as a business investment, show that farming is at last coming into its own. Another criticism sometimes heard is that if the back to the land movement is al- lowed to continue, there will soon be an overproduction of the agricultural products which will result in great loss to the entire agricultural industry. But if one pauses to think a moment, he will see that such a catasprophe is impossible. If the rate of increase in popu- lation continues the same as it has been in the last hundred years, by the end of the next century we should have at least twelve hundred millions of people here in the United States, and unless the agricultural production increases in proportion, we must either move or starve. This increase in production will not necessarily mean a greatly increased area, but rather greater yields from the area already under cultivation. These larger yields can be obtained only through better and more improved methods of tillage. There is, too, an aesthetic side of farming. VVho will deny that the farmer is not blessed far above the city dweller, in that he is free to come and go as he pleases, with the blue sky above him, and the soft grass beneath his feet? He is not shut in by towering walls of brick and stone, and he does not walk on blazing pavements, breathing the fetid, stifling air of the city. He is not called to his work in the moring by a shrieking whistle or clanging bell. and at night be can sink into a peaceful slumber without hearing the con- stant din of the city in his ears. For those who feel that the time and money which they have expended on their edu- cation demand some quicker and more tangible return than could be obtained on a farm, the teaching profession is always open. In the last few years, the demand for teachers of agriculture in high schools and colleges has doubled again and again, and hundreds of schools that have desired to introduce courses in agriculture have not been able to do so because of the lack of available instruction. There always will be a demand for the teacher who is thoroughly conversant with the principles of agriculture, and who knows how to apply them to the problems with which the farmer is constantly coming face to face.

Tl1e aim of the I11stitute is to give the boys a general k11owledge of tl1e ll1lClC1'lyl11g' principles of several trades. More and more are scl1ools throughout tl1e Northwest coming to a greater realization of the need of a practical training. Here tl1e tl1ougl1t l1as been to give tl1e boy a trade training, to 111ake all otl1er branches aid toward giving l1i111 a11 education which will make him of immediate use to both himself a11d his employer. Tl1e Polytechnic is seeking to solve a great problem. Tl1e old idea of tr-ying to force upon tl1e stude11t tl1e cut a11d dried theories of the impractical, llZ1S lOllg been disregarded.

During the entire year all of tl1e general repair work on the farm a11d around the Institute has been do11e largely by the shop. students. Drafting composed the greater part of tl1e first Semester's class work. Those taking up classes in woodwork are hrst required to make sketches and drawings of tl1e article to be made. In this way a knowledge is gained as to construction a11d size of various ar- ticles. Those taking up Electrical Engineering are first given Elemental Machine Draw- ing. The work consists of bolt study, right and left-hand threads, etc. Classes in archi- tectural drawing are also given for those wishing that phase of work. One wing of the basement of our New Shop and Industrial Hall was erected by the boys during the past summer. This serves temporarily for the use of the shop classes. New machinery has been installed, consisting of band saws, turning lathes, joints and planes. The completion of the main building is looked forward to for the coming summer. -27- Domestic Science Department sa QN VQJ, k E54 . Y V .vp OUR NEW DOMESTIC SCIENCE KITCHEIN Domestic Science, under the supervision of Miss Brown, is the latest course at the Institute, having been added to the curriculum only this year. It is the purpose soon to introduce several courses which will greatly strengthen the work, also advanced work will be offered in Cooking, Household Economics, and Sewing. Cooking is now a three year course, and includes the sources, composition, value, di- gestibility, and proper cooking of foods, the preparation and serving of meals, marketing, fliatetics. and invalid cookery. The practice work is all done in a large, airy Domestic Science Kitchen, well equipped with electric ranges and all other modern appliances. Home Economics includes the planning, furnishing, and care of a home, division of in- come and other kindred topics. The course in Sewing is not yet outlined, but will be a course in which the students are given plain sewing, drafting, dressmaking, embroidery, ex- tensive study of textiles, and the care and cost of clothing. ' The whole course in Domestic Science is based upon the sciences of Chemistry, Phys- ics, Botany, etc., and the student is taught to apply the arts and sciences to every-day life. She is given a practical and theoretical knowledge of these problems, and the character- istics of accuracy, neatness, dexterity, perseverance, and economy are developed. That this course is not only instructive and proving a success, but very interesting as well, is shown by the large number of girls taking it. H i Music eparimeni I... . V - V 1 . . - 1 . A ' ., Q vi :Q .-Lggwyl How WE snvc This short sketch on our Department of Music is scarcely adequate to give the reader a clear and just idea of what we are doing, or what music means to our school collectively and individually. For just as the joy of a beautiful june day cannot be analyzed or put into mere words. no more can music and its far-reaching influence be described. 'Tis in truth a thing of the soul. Qui' chorus class, commonly known as the Coyote Chorus, has been a howling suc- cess. Do not misinterpret this. NYe mean a success in the strongest sense of the word. Xever before has the class had as large and as faithful attendance as has this year's organ- ization. XYe doubt not that this is due to the ambition and enthusiasm of each member. The work has consisted of choral singing, sight treading, ear training, and a brief study of the fundamentals of music that relate to our particular subject. On account of the very inadequate schooling afforded by the scattered district schools in this vast west- ern country, many students come to us who have no idea of the natural musical ability lying dormant in them. The chorus class is the very best means of learning how to cultivate, in a comparatively short time, this musical taste, and to develop by ear training an appre- ciation of music in those who are not naturally musicians. For this reason all students of instrumental music, whether they sing or not, should join the class. The work is open to all. perfect harmony being the only tuition requested. The festivities of our school year are always enhanced by the choral singing. The Christmas and Easter Cantatas are of as high a standard as those attempted in any of our large churches. But we would call special attention to the fine music rendered by this sec- tion of the department at the May Day and Commencement Exercises. Now in regard to the Piano and Violin divisions. These classes, too, we are proud to say. have been growing in quantity and quality. Since many of these pupils are only be- ginners. we have not heard them in public as often as desired. However, each piano pu- pil renders at least one selection before the public at the final recital given commencement week. All music students are expected to pursue at least two academic subjects besides music. There is little room in the world today for a freak or one-sided person. Cf course, we urge the attainment of one thing, whatever that may be for which one is best adapted, THE POLY but we would advise each student to secure as a solid foundation, a liberal education. In other words, even a specialist should have a knowledge of all common branches in order really to succeed in his chosen linc. The growth of the entire department has been of greait interest to the directors of music. XYe started three years ago with only four or live pupils in Piano. Today one cannot wallc through our buildings without hearing from one side pianos, from another, vio- lins. and still farther on, a guitar, clarinet, or perhaps a horn 'and even a friendly mouth organ: all mingling their voices together, and of course in grand harmony. Such is the industry and ambition of our musical fraternity. XYe have no music hall as yet, but through one of the school's greatest benefactors, -lohn ll. lqiselcainp, we are to enjoy very soon every advantage of a modern conservatory building, lo be known as l.osekamp Hall. This will contain a magnilicent auditorium for public recitals, a smaller hall for class recital worlc, besides many studios and practice rooms. ln time, a tine large pipe organ will be installed in the auditorium, which will complete the Polytechnic Conservatory and malce it one of the very best. Besides the vocal and instrumental instruction, we can offer classes in History of Music, Theory, and Harmony for those who desire to make music their profession.

As competition in busi- ness becomes more keen from year to year, business methods become more and more complex. The largest and most successful business establishments everywhere are offer- ing a premium for efficient service. Business firms are placing the emphasis upon the ability and character in selecting those who are to manage their affairs or to do their clerical work. lVe believe that there are three very gooql reasons why a young person procuring an education for the duties and responsibilities of life, should get a good business train- ing. First, it prepares for useful and leading citizenship: second, it is the training which gives the practical knowledge necessary to conduct successfully any profession or life work: and third, it prepares young people for clerical positions. Wfe believe these reasons are given in the order of their importance, with the most important first. Because of what is demanded of young people as they go out into actual life, We CllMf'lflifIHL kwa?- A-Q9 WHWNT' R , 1 '-746562 H - n . '- iff I M13 155-:Q wviy Y I that broader, well-balanced business aim at training which will insure success so far as training has to do with success. Our greatest concern, therefore, is not to prepare young people for this or that oflice, although we cer- tainly expect them to be able to do creditable oilice work. XVe train them for business, or, rather, equip young people for citizenship and business and thus make them ready to face commercial problems and stand up under the ever-increasing responsibility to be imposed upon them. XYe learn from a mere casual observation that mental ability alone is not 'sufficient for young people, with which to climb to the top and stand among the fore- -3 2- THE PGLY most in business, the one other element by which the successful attain their position is a good, strong character. Business ability, coupled with a reliable character, is continually sought, while there is always plenty of clerical help to be had for the asking: in fact, may be had without the asking.They are knocking at the doors of industry at all hours. but alas! too often They are not ready to carry the message. The Billings Polytechnic Institute has an actual, practical Business Department, where business is taught and handled as business is done, where young people are taught and trained to transact business as well as keep their accounts and enter into contracts with each other. They are taught to organize wholesale, retail, and private businesses and run them as they would a real business. They organize a Bank and conduct it in the self-same way as any National Bank is conducted. The students and business firms of the Business Exchange become the depositors and customers of the Bank. Thus the stu- dents of the Polytechnic Business Department receive the experience of handling in a business-like manner these institutions and come through the course well equipped for the duties and requirements of the business world Qur students get a wide and helpful knowledge of government, citizenship, and the rights, powers and responsibilities of each to the other. They get this valuable knowledge at hand by engaging in the operation and working of the well-known self- goyerninent plan of the student boldly. The students work at this in real earnest, and the beneht they derive as well as the valuable lessons learned cannot be overestimated. The greatest business education after all is the actual doing of business. This is what we advocate.

The purpose of its founders was to establish a practical institution of learningvwhere young men and women could secure a training that would fit them to become not only useful citizens but leaders in the industrial, commercial, political and social life of a great, rapidly developing em- pire. This purpose is being accomplished. The plans of its founders are being carried out and their ideals of the true education are becoming realities. The Polytechnic was organized at the right time. In these days, educational reform is in the minds of all progressive thinkers. The work of the public schools and colleges is severely criticised by the leaders of the industrial, commercial, and political world. Ad- justment to modern conditions is necessary if our schools and colleges are to fulfill their great mission. Many of the traditional theories of the past have been discarded in plan- ning the work of the Polytechnic, At the same time, it is not the intention to make a radical departure from the old system of education. There is too much that is of real value in the old established school system to cast it wholly aside. There is too much that is educationally unsound in many of the modern schemes of education to accept them as they 'are now presented. The Polytechnic has taken the medium ground and has in- corporated the best in the old and the new. Its whole purpose is to select the best and adapt it to the needs of the young people living in these modern days in the great agricul- tural section of the country. The important feature of the Polytechnic is the placing of special emphasis on the --34.. THE POLY individual student and his possibilities, and adapting the instruction and training to his peculiar needs. For this reason it is not possible to outline iron-clad courses of study from which a student may be graduated after studying a specified number of yea-rs. It is not how many credits he has gained by reciting the contents of some text book or being present for a certain number of times in some classg it is his ability to do, to act, to live the true efficient life that is to test the value of the training he has received. The Polytechnic was established in the right place. Billings is the center of the larg- est area-when size and population are both considered-in the United States without a higher institution of learning. lt is also the leading city in the section of our country that is making the most rapid development. lt is the center of a vast frontier whose re- sources when developed will make it a great commercial and industrial empire. The region immediately surrounding Billings and linked to it by railroads and common interests, is larger than all Germany, and its resources anal possibilities are as great. It is because of the great future that is coming to this region that the trustees and directors of the Polytechnic are making their plans on a large scale. The Polytechnic when fully developed will include a complete college of Liberal Arts, professional and tech- nical schools, a conservatory of music. as well as the Agricultural, Normal, Preparatory, and Vocational departments. All the state institutions and denominational colleges are located in the western part of the state and it naturally rests with the Polytechnic to care for the educational needs of eastern Montana and northern VVyoming. More and more the Polytechnic is entering into the life of this region. Cn its farms are being demon- strated what varieties of crops and breeds of cattle can be raised most profitably in this section. The best varieties of pure seed are being raised and furnished to the farmers, The Institute is investigating the natural resources of the region, seeking to find out their real economic value. First and foremost, the lnstitute is conserving the greatest resource of the North- west-the boys and girls-by offering them the opportunity of receiving the highest de- velopment. Because of the practical training' given in the Polytechnic State, the self- help league, the class rooms. the religious and social organizations, the boy or girl who spends four or five years at the Institute is prepared to go out a useful, happy citizen in the great outside world. This volume is written and published by the students without direction or super- vision ofthe management of the Institute. Here they tell of their life at the Polytechnic during the past year and in their own way give their impression of the various depart- ments and the working of the school.

Losekamp No other death in Billings during the year has caused so widespread and sincere sorrow as that of our beloved benefactor, john D. Losekamp. lYe, as students and teach- ers of the Billings Polytechnic Institute, feel this loss most keenly, for it was here under the towering rimrocksi' that his work and interest, his sympathy and desires, centered during the last few years of his lifeg it was for our institute that this noble man lived. Hence, at his death, the entire community was stricken as with a personal sorrow, and to people throughout the whole land came the sense of a great loss. In the death of John D. Losekamp, not only this community, but mankind, has experi- enced a real loss. lYe who knew him, knew in him a public-spirited citizen, a pure- minded patriot, an upright and trustworthy man. John D. Losekamp was an unassuming man, a plain man, not only of the people, but for the people. That is, he was for the people in the same sense that he was with them-he was of them in sympathy and for them in helpfulness. In his contemplation. the oihce of a liberal education was a unique idea, to make men more than machines. The incentive and the objective point in collegiate training and discipline is a full development of all three sides of the triangle of lifef, The tendency of this conception is to call out the whole man. The often unseen and sometimes unappreciated work of john D. Losekamp in times of storm and stress equally as in sunshine and calm-the quiet spirit of devotion, has been made manifest, and lives today, an impulse and an inspiration to all who have come within the sweep of his influence. And it will live and work, although he is gone. His wise counsel and unfailing sympathy is sorely missed, for never was he too busy to listen to the needs of the Poly. The news of the passing of this large hearted man came as a great sorrow to the graduates of the Institute and to former students who will remember John D. Losekamp. the personal friend and sympathizer, whose faith in them gave them faith in themselves, and whose noble character moulded their lives into liner issues. To the community the loss is equally great, for John D. Losekamp was ever an able and patriotic citizen, and a man of integrity and high worth. Able men who com- bine in themselves lofty ideas and practicability are rare, and john D. Losekamp was such a man. Billings, or any other city, can ill afford to lose men of this fine type. Keenly interested in the material growth and financial prosperity of Billings, and realiz- ing what these mean to the people, John D. Losekamp was interested even more vitally in whatever made for the higher life of the community, those movements and institutions whose primary purpose is the intellectual and moral betterment of the city's life. Any endeavor for a better Billings readily enlisted his hearty support. Not only all well wishers of the Poly, but all workers for good citizenship, regret the passing from our midst of John D. Losekamp. And yet, his soul and spirit go on, in the great results, seen and unseen, of his few years of endeavor and devotion amongst us: in the larger and better Polytechnic of todayg in the scores of students who have been stimulated to nobler living by contact with his earnest personality: and in the newer and still greater Polytechnic that is to be the Polytechnic of which John D. Losekamp dreamed, and for which he labored, but which he was destined not to see realized in his lifetime -the Polytechnic which, whenever it shall come, will be built, in no small degree, on the foundations, deep and broad and strong, laid by the patience and fidelity of John D, Losekamp. -S. B. D. A .. N The Senior Class Poor Poly is about to have an operation. lt is always thot a dire calamity when a body loses one of its members. But for the body Polytechnic to lose outright thirteen most excellent students, is worse than unlucky. And yet, Dr. Iiaton has declared that we must he itten rid of. The only kindly thot that he has in the matter is that we are t.i bg given sheepskins in which to be sent home. lt seems to us like a preparation for sacrifice, for we are being fattened on faculty sermons and fe.l with the richest mental food. The body Polytechnic will be thoroly examined the latter part of April or the Hrst part of May. lfverything being in the right condition, our Poly will be led to the Oper- ating rooms the fifteenth day of May. But think not that it is all to be dismal. No, there will be much festivity and a moderate amount of stimulating excitement that our courage may be kept keyed to its highest pitch. The only thing unfathomable is that during the last week previous lu the final labor, there is to be no night sleep, Those nocturnal hours are to he spent in rehearsing for the hnal march to the operating room. liut at last the fateful day must arrive and we shall all be dressed in white, like all patients and sacrificial victims, or in black-called conventional from the predominating color of suits at the last National Republican Convention. In the operating room we shall see Dr. Eaton assisted by his brother, who spent list year in the East where they will insist upon being bled, and by the special diagnos- tician. Herr lnot ltlairl Kline. Rev. North from the city to our East will act as anaes- thetist. The tizst to be cut till from the old body will be the oldest student member, Clarence ltlolt. whose hair has had time to become whiter, and his wrinkles to increase since he grew up on Polytechnic diet. Bert Mauser, who simply can't break away from Poly, will be forced to pack his trunk or do postgraduate work. Lowell johnson is another member whose roots reach far down into the Polytechnic and he will thus be especially hard to extract but extracted he must be. Helen Haskin and Rosina lValter are two more who have outgrown their Polytechnic usefulness and as they have grown together, they must be cut off. or Poly will become web-footed. Our Poly Pickle has been kept long enuf and must be sent otjf the campus permanently, unless given a new lease on Polytechnic life. Georgia is locate.l south on all the maps, so we are compelled to send our Georgia southg Montana is large but it cannot hold Georgia in it. The sympathetic nerves inthe Poly body were touched upon receiying this news and so Margaret Merrill must be lopped off, too. Two new shoots-Ruth Sherman andl Hattie Prewett-must be knifed also before their roots pierce too deep. Then there is a member whose steps begin to totter, and so ll211'l'j' HHlllCj' small to lie 21 l'llC1'C CX-Pwlyllf. Klclsl uf tllC Rolllgtlls in but our Roman has llived his Poly life until now, when he, too, is to become .Xncient History, The faculty members will have been officiating in the capacity of nurses all this while and will rejoice in the results and yet feel sorrow at the grief,of the rest ofthe body. And now one last wish, others: Me hope that after we leave you will not be a dead body. -3 gg.. l l 1h THE POLY George Pickle : Ex.-V.-Pres. Eagle Lit- erary Society Self Help League '14 Y. M. C. A.

Athletic Assn '14 l i H Student Government SECOND SEMES TER STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICERS The science which treats of the state government is known as Political Sciencef' or politics. The problems with which politics at the Billings Polytechnic Institute deal, are those of the origin, nature, functions, and development of Student Government. Student government originated in the Institute during the spring of 1912. Because of the urgent demand for our chief executives in the East, the problem of disciplinegwas left in the hands of a committee composed of both faculty and students. The intense interest exhibited, and the hearty co-operation of the student body brought both a new and higher plane of personal conduct. The interest burst forth in an enthusiastic plan of student government with the directors' approval. Yes, even more, they, in fact, led us from the first successful trial of the movement, through the tedious and careful work of formulating a constitution strong enough to be effective and practical, to meet successfully the expectations of the majority of the body returning in the fall. Our newly adopted Constitution called for an immediate election of officers. The first offi- cials of the Polytechnic State performed their duty with extreme care and prudence, in- cepting la standard of justice and progress as yet unrivaled-all conditions considered. But you want to know what the nature of student government is. Again, you ask: Does the student derive any benefits from it, and how does it work? Isn't it a scheme of the faculty's to shift a portion of its usual responsibilities on to those incompetent of performing such difficult functions P Positively, No! The nature of our government is not of so little importance. It in- cludes faculty as well as students: girls, the same as boys. All are citizens in the eyes of the laws passed by the Legislature of the State Polytechnic. It is of the true old republican form, having its three distinct divisions: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Yet to some extent, it varies from our national government, in that it has no sedate, old conservatives to block the bills that issue from our House of Representatives. Although we have no Senate, the governmental equilibrium is not apparently lost, but rather found, for in giving our enthusiastic young representatives such freedom of action, they feel their .-4 4- THE POLY responsibility and combine prudence in judgment and practical knowledge with their con- structive power of thought, producing laws technically correct, practical, constitutional, and just. As the Legislature unconsciously educates its members, so the government as a whole offers to every student the opportunity to study the science of Politics in its most practical forms. If one were to shut his eyes to the problems of government which con- tinually confront him, he would be forced to learn a truer meaning of right and wrong by the way of the Great Avenue of Knowleclgev-Experience-gained, perhaps, in a number of court sessions. But that is unnecessary, for the laws are so arranged that one can decide for himself when he is within the bounds of legitimate personal action, when he is abusing or destroying his own chances of success in life, and when he is in- fringing onthe rights of his fellow citizens. Beyond a doubt, after a student of our Institute has been thus thoroughly trained in citizenship and practical law, his behavior shows a' marked improvement, not only in the State of Polytechnic, but wherever his vocation may chance to lead him. Such a training does not merely develop good. law- abiding citizens, but, best of all, it makes men-men who can and will become leaders in their home communities. These are some of the more important functions of Student Government. Our body politic is a phase of society in general: society being that conscious asso- ciation of individuals which portrays the law of natural selection. The leading students, with their strong moral characters and forceful personalities, focusing their combined en- ergy and effort so as to bear directly on the development of an ideal political system, have put into motion a deep. thorough-going evolution of government which is steadily increas- ing in momentum-carrying it on toward the place of exaltation, commonly known as Perfect Politics. Although our student government has but recently begun to scale the precipice at whose summit the living monument of perfection stands, yet it has been making rapid progress toward that goal ever since its inauguration nearly tvvo years ago. Upon the visage of the past two years, many well-dehned battle scars may be seen, bearing witness to the three political campaigns and four semester elections it has under- gone. No election is worthy of its name unless enough interest is aroused concerning it among the citizens of the state in which it is held, to make its outcome of the most 'vital importance to those represented. Such an interest in elections can be inspired only by political campaigns: and since campaigning is merely different parties in action, we judge aright that the most essential factor in governmental progression is Partyism. This is generally an abnormal growth on the fate of a diseased government, but here in our miniature state, since we have had no corrupt political machinery to hamper our purpose, it has been a natural outgrowth of our political system: due largely to the variation of the human animals which are rounded up each fall, for training in culture, manners, and refinement, during the winter months in our now steadily increasing menagerie. This variation is quite vividly marked in the supreme product of the mind which distin- guishes man from brute-the power of reason. Since no two persons' experiences co- incide, it is very evident that it is impossible for any group of men-be it ever so small -to reason out a proposition and hnally reach the same conclusion. But with animals it is decidedly different. since the limitations placed on their knowledge is the mere asso- ciation of ideas, emotional preferences, and only very near-sighted visions in the realms of thought. Because it is much easier to agree than to exercise originality, most men fall in line with almost any argument-Ending in others what they lack in themselves. A few real men as a nucleus, about which gathered a large number of these human ani- mals. established the first political party in the State of Polytechnic. The Progressive Party presented a noteworthy platform to thc public. Among the planks were two much -45- THE POLY needed amendments to the state constitution, and also a third plank upholding the nation- wide debatable questions of Initiative, Referendum and Recall. It is, indeed, altogether unnecessary to say this second election was as unanimous a victory for the Prirgressives-who had no opposition whatever-as the first had been for the formulators of the constitution. The following semester's administration proved to be one of peace and tranquility. Not only did the student government see rapid ad- vancement during those spring days, but also Partyism showed a slight increase. Anrong the fertile seeds sown were the chokecherry pits, crabapple seeds. and an acorn. The former two sprang up before the auturnnal election, but because of lack of cultivation and hrrsbandr'y, failed to mature. Partyism's eldest son-Progressiveness-so overshadowed and darkened the vision of his younger brother-the crabapple-and his sis- ter-the chokecherry-fthe People's Party and Equal Rights Party, respectivelyj-that at the time of balloting, when the sun shone on them, then wilted and withered away, tlrrrs obeying natures laws- The Survival of the Fittestf' But, alas! now the meaning of progress became symonymous with conservatism. Yes, more, the velocity of the old party decreased as the irresistable friction increased, until a state of rest was reached- POL Y LEGISLA TURE the force for good government being able only to hold the opposition in check. That state of rest. or want of action, became most prevalent in the Legislature. On the other hand, there was no lack of action in the shell of the acorn. It silently thrust its solitary way through the frozen soil in the early part of january while Progress was still dozing in its winter nest. The tender shoot soon became accustomed to the chilly winds and rapidly developed into a strong, young Democratic Oak Tree. This parable of the fertile seeds represents quite uniquely the condition of the polit- ical affairs at the beginning of the third campaign. Immediately after the holiday va- cation, the Democrats posted their platform complete. Some of the more prominent planks were constructed to stipulate the time for holding court, the amount of time allowed to defendant after notihca-tion of arrest before he could be brought to trial, and the limitations on office holding in a single administration. They also stood for pro- posed amendment to the constitution which, if carried, would change our present method of election to the popular form used in a greatmarjority of the states in the Union.

Siockeris Inaugural Acldressi-1 IT Fellow Citizens of the Polytechnic: In taking the oath of office to be your chief executive, I feel the responsibility that you have placed upon me. I now return my very sincere and respectful thanks for the kindness which has placed me in this position. In reviewing the past administration, we find on the 12th of September, Nineteen Twelve H9121 Student Government in its infancy taking its first few and uncertain steps on a rough and untrodden path Then. as we look ahead, we ind, within a month from the first inauguration, the legislature enacting laws, the walls of the courtroom ringing with the pleas of attorneys, and the citizens as a whole working for the com- munity. Now. as we take one more step, we find the citizens of this newly founded state standingon the threshold of a new year, and looking toward the election of officers for the second administration. Here we find two political parties formed. namely, the Progressive and Peoples each standing on its platform. and fighting with the vim that has built the nations of the world. Xow. my friends, concentrate your gaze on the second administration and you will see the infant of the hrst not fully grown. but standing on a firm foundation, with a look of detennination plainly stamped on the strong feaures and steadily overcoming the obstacles that he Ends in his way. Here we stand at the passing of a periodthat is known from one end of the United States to the other as the demonstrated success of Student Government at the Polyteghnic. All this makes it easy for the incoming oth- cers to fulfill the duties of the state. But the brilliant success of the two past administrations also makes it doubly diffi- cult for this of ours because of the comparison that will necessarily be made. IVC mzzsz' not ICI ffzis g0'I'L'1'lllllC1Zf fail. The population is fifty per cent. large than any previous year. IVith a large number of students, new conditions arise. New laws must be made. and the enforcement of laws growing lax, it is the purpose of this administration to enforce every law on the statute book. If any law is wrong. let that law be changed by the Legislature, but as long as that law remains on our statute book, let it be lived up to, to the letter. Qurs is a great opportunity: never before have a band of young people been given the privilege of self-government. Our revolutionary fathers fought for self-government in the colonies, but it was never thought of for the schools. Vtfe, the coming citizens of American nation. are given the chance to be trained for citizenship in this model state. Shall we not be true to our trust? Fellow-citizens, what makes a state large and great? Not architecture's graceful strength, nor factories' extended length. But men who can see the civic wrong and give their lives to make it right. and change the darkness into light. Vtfhat makes a state full of power? No wealth's display, nor titled fame, nor fashion's loudly boasted chain, but women. strong in virtue's dower, whose homes though humble, still are great be- cause of service to the State. XVhat makes a state that men can love? Not things that charm the outward sense. nor gross display of opulence. But right that wrong cannot become and truth that face civic fraud, and smites it in the name of God. c'This is a state that shall stand, a light upon a nation's hill, a voice that evil cannot still, a source of blessing to the land: it's strength not brick, nor stone, nor wood, but jus- tice, love and brotherhoodf' -R.

The Polytechnic is especially adapted to supply a large munber of students with work on account of its being located on one of the best irriga.ted farms in the country, where work for students may be supplied most of the year, and on account of its being a growing school so that work can be given to student on buildings that are being put up practi- cally all of the time, Students also obtain work as janitors and waiters. At the present time there are about thirty students working part or all of their way through school, and as far as possible they are given work of a krid in which they are interested, so that they may receive practical experience in the course they are pursuing in school. As the institution has grown and it has been necessary to have more working stu- dents. the needs of organization has become more and more apparent, and early in the school year the self-help students met and organized themselves into the Self-Help League of the Polytechnic. with the purpose of making the Self-Help department more efficient, and for the mutual welfare of themselves and the institution. The Self-Help League of the Polytechnic is organized along the line of a county in the State of Montana. and the Executive Committee of the League, which has charge of its affairs, corresponds to the Board of County Commissioners of any county in Montana. Though the organization of the League is simple, it has been very successful in carrying out its aims and purposes. The self-help students of the school have the same privileges as other students. They are held in high esteem by the whole student body and the management. They are stu- dents of the highest type and are the backbone of the whole student body. Every gov- ernor ever elected in the Polytechnic State has been a self-help student, and a vast major- ity of all other offices of the State. as well as those of other organizations of the school. have been, and are now held by self-help students. The self-help students are not doing so much work for the school and the State because of any graft scheme on their part, but because they are the ones that have the push and the wherewithal about them to go ahead and do things. This same thing will be noticed out in life. Stop and think how many of the leading men of our nation and state and community have had to struggle for an education. Some may ask why this ability is shown to such an extent among the self-help students, and why the vast majority of successful men are those that in their youth were encouraged along lines of industry and learned to improve each shining hour, instead of being encouraged in the habits of slothfulness and wastefulness of time. lt is because their characters are formed in school while the characters of others are formed out in life under, in many cases, less salutary influences. lt is because they are prepared for life's work sooner than others and therefore out-distance them. Because of the wonderful advantage of the self-help student, we should all be proud of belonging to the SELF-HELP LEAGUE QE THE PQLYTECHNTC, and though the way may seem hard at times, We must remember that They that sow in tears shall reap in joyf' -W.

She had just completed her studies at Park College and was eager to take her place in the world to do what she could for the uplifting ull the boys and girls of the great Northwest. During the first year she took upon herself, in addition to her other work, the duties of librarian and collected and arranged what books she could find. ,Xt the beginning of the second year she returned, altho in ill health, and took up her work again. lint she was soon forced to give up and return home and not long afterwards the sad news came that she had passed to the other side. She gave all she possessed-her life-to the school, and is it not altogether fitting that this library should be named the .lessie lflelle Kirkpatrick Memorial Library in remembrance of her great sacrifice? ' This in brief is the history of the Polytechnic Library. Since its first small begin- ning it has grown slowly but surely until now it has upon its shelves fully three thousand volumes, covering a wide range of subjects. Not a large number, to be sure, when com- pared with the great collections of books found in many of the institutions of learning throughout the county. lint when one takes into consideration the age of the school and also the fact that every volume has been a free will offering to the institution, and has come from many givers it does not seem so small after all. lVlany of the books have been obtained thru the personal endeavors tif Dr. and lXlrs. Kirkpatrick, who are devoting a large portion of their time and energy to the building up of this library. Xearly all lines of thought which have found expression in writing are represented and of these lines fiction has probably the largest following. Of those authors recognized as standard. hoth in ,Xmerica and the Old lVorld, and including such as Cooper, Dickens. lrving, Hawthorne. Poe. Scott. Victor Hugo. etc., complete works have been obtained. Of the higher present day type of fiction, there is a very good assortment, among which may be found novels by lfiooth Tarkington, Harold llell XVright, lack London, 1rVinston Churchill, and mnnerous others of like character. Under this head may also be men- tioned twenty-six bound volumes of Harper's lleekly issued in 1875-76. The division of history and biography is also very well represented, and one especially adapted for reference work. Linder the former subject may be found a nine volume Encyclo- pedia of United States History. Jklso the complete historical works of Prescott and Park- man, as well as many other books dealing with hoth ancient and modern history. Here, too, we find three sets of two volumes each which are of considerable interest. One of these is a History of the British Colonies in the lVest lndies, printed in 179-1. .Xnother is the History and Topography of the United States, and is of more recent date, having been issued in 1934. 1Vhile these may not be of any great intrinsic value, still they give the pres- ent generation the opportunity of seeing the view point taken by the writers of a century and a quarter ago. A twenty volume set, consisting of the biographies of many of the most important personages of the Old lYor1d, is another valuable addition and has proven espe- cially useful in the study of literature and ancient history. There are also quite a number of other volumes dealing with the life and worlf of some of the most prominent orators, min- isters, and statesmen of modern times. The subject of religion has grouped under it a large number of books covering a wide field. and embracing nearly every phase of the subject from the long dry sermons of a cen- tury ago to the record of present day achievement in foreign missionary fields.

The ancient Greeks surpassed all others in literature and other line arts. Holding them as our ideal. we endeavor to follow them in our small way. To make this a better and more cultured world. the high and good thoughts of the great men of the past and present should be brought to us, therefore our band of Alphas take great interest to gain for ourselves and give to others the best of literature. lt is our aim not only to give to others the best of literature, but to express our own thoughts and views, thus developing our ability to solve rightly the problems of life. Our society at the present time has the largest membership permitted by the consti- tution and the members are willing workexs for our cause. Many of our social evenings have been spent by the society in the gym, where our dignified officers and other members greatly surprised and astonished us by their antics. .-X social evening was spent St. Valentines Day in entertaining the :Xristo Society. An informal pailor program was rendered. where the legends and customs of St. Valentines Day were told and observed. The many private programs given have been very beneficial to the various mem- bers, as well as to the society as a whole. Regarding our public programs, they are always looked forward to with great anticipation. At the present writing. the -Xlphas are ahead in points in the Spelling Contest and have great hopes of winning the silver cup.

This has gained for it the lofty position which it commands among the literary organizations of the school, that of a full development of all sides of the triangle of life. Glance at your last year's Poly and the one before that, and so on, if you wish to gain an idea of the past brilliant history of the Eagles.

Yes, Aristo means best and you couldnt be at the Polytechnic very long without linding it out, lYith the Aristos it is quality and not quantity that counts. They haven't gone in for large numbers, yet, but look at what they have-little, but oh, my! The Aristos have surely been doing things this year and they are going to do many more. They have formal meetings in the cozy surroundings of some girl's room where short programs are rendered or some choice piece of literature is studied: they have pub- lic meetings both formal and informal to entertain their brother and sister societies: and they have, of course. commonplace business meetings where everybody has to say Aye, or t'Xay or some other such meaningless expression, but they manage to live through them with the thoughts of those other good times before them.

At the beginning uf the present year, llVJXVCYCl', a strong rlesire was felt by a nuinber of stuclents who reineinberecl soinething of its foriner glory, to resurrect the society and restore it to its original prominent position arnong the organizations of the Institute. Needless to say the effort has been inure than justified. Inquirers who cloubtingly asked in the early part inf the season what prospects uf success the society hafl, were answered by lVait and See. and now by Crane and See. liach rneeting shows a growing interest on the part of the inernbers in the work. The original intent of the club as expressefl in the constitution. was the :leyelopinent of its ad- herents along literary anrl rhetorical lines. This purpose it has persistently sought to achieve.

REV. WAL7ER H. NOR7H lj Young Menis Christian Assin Y. M. C. A. CABINET We take great pleasure in making the Y. M. C. AX. the strongest organization in the school. Although it is only in its infancy, it does more work than any other organization in the school. and the thing' of signiticance about it is that its efforts are in the name of our Lord and Master, True, we have our church which has its wonderful mission, but we are aware that without the more brotherly association Cwhich affords such a splendid place for one just beginning a religious lite, to make a start and make known the little dif- ficulties that stand before himl. there would be a gap that could not easily be crossed by the pioneer student. The Y. H. C. ,-X. has a much broader foundation than most other socie- ties. XYe believe in the culture of the spirit, mind, and body and what can be broader? Qur Y. KI. C. A. was organized September Zlst, 1913, and has been doing' active Work ever since. Our charter members munber twenty-seven, and more have joined us since, among whom are some splendid workers. It is the purpose of the Y. Nl. C. A. to create a Christian spirit in the student body. and to make it the prevailing spirit. It is our purpose to bring' in strong' influential men from the outside world who can tell us what other schools are doing. and link Us more closely wth something definite in our religion. Of what use is religion if one does not use it? lt is our purpose to use it, and to get others to use it. for we believe it to be like the muscle--the more we use it. the stronger it becomes. There are great possibilities which often lie dormant in a stu-'lent body, and are either never developed. or are awakened in the individual after he has left his place of training, when it is too late for him to cultivate those possibilities and make as much of them as he would have done if only they had been aroused while he was younger. Consequently much of the world's work is done without the aid of our Master, but it would be done much better and much more .ioyfully if only Hewvere permitted to lend a helping hand. The student who leaves school without learning' to call on God to help him over the rough places in this life, -is cutting out half his ability. and if we are to place a value upon him we would cut off at least hfty per cent for inefficiency. XVe plan to reach every student as soon as he 1671 THE POLY i arrives and, if possible, link him with that Higher life, which helps us in one and all of our tasks and decisions. We believe that the Spirit of Christ make its dwelling in us, and we do not want such a power to have a weak, sickly place for its mansion. lVe stand for a strong clean body. -Xthletics is the place for the student to develr p this strength, but often the football Held is where he also corrupts his morals. There are many lessons both good and bad gained from the play ground. lt is there that the boy learns to control his temper, it is there that a team learns to meet defeat and not be conquered, and it is there that the student comes in contact with the very souls of his fellow men. There he learns their language, and the way their thoughts run, and most of all, a good wholesome game puts vim into him that makes him feel as though he could move the mountains. But as it is necessary that we nnist give so nmch attention to our physical being, why should we allow it to corrupt our morals. XYhenever the Y. Nl. C. .N can carry her influence to the sports and create there the same high sentiment that prevails in her Bible classes, it will have done some things worth while. Therefore we sary, Boys, go to the gymnasium, make your bodies strong and handsome, but above all things remember the lndwelling Spirit and .lo not profane it with foul language. We believe in the development of our intellectual beings to their greatest degrees of perfection. Fverything in this world that is worth while comes through our minds. Psy- chology teaches us that it is in our minds that we excel the lower animals, and if it hail not been for our power of reason we would long ago have become extinct through the laws of the survival of the littest. The survival of the tittest is an active factor in this world and if we are to excel we must be the fittest. Money has a great inliuence in placing men in prominent places, but if the man who is so blessed as to fall heir to an estate is not the fittest, the strong minile.l-poor or rich-will crowd him out. XVe believe that while we are training our minds tri he strong we should be careful what we feed them. XVe should cram nothing in them that we do not wish to remain. For what is so easy to remember as something you wish to forget? We encourage Bible study. tio to the old Book for good literature, phil- osophy, psychology. or most anything, it can all be found there. And when the average stu- .lent becomes interested enough to study the worvl of God daily-even when ridiculed by his fellow men he has passed the mark that pronounces him a success. lYe encourage mis- sion study, both Home and Foreign. XYe believe all students should study Foreign missions if for no other reason than that he might learn the conditions of other countries that are not so far advanced in civilization as ours. Qf course, we realize that any fair minded stu- flent could not familiarize himself with the foreign field without becoming interested. As for Home Mission Study, it deals with the very problems that are confronting the nation today and must be met by the educated classes Home Missions is something that should in- terest everybody. lf religion can be linked with the social life of the students while in school and after they get out in life, it is then of more value than if it is something he keeps storetl away in the unconscious field during the week, only to let it out for a little exercise on Sunday. Xlost of all we stand for spiritual development. It is not enough that we be physically perfect, and it is impossible that we be mentally perfect. And not in any way have we de- veloped that feeling within us that tells us we are pprsuing the right course, and urges us on to things high and mighty. Our spiritual beings have to do with everything, if we wake with a gloomy feeling in the morning,it is because our spiritual being is weak. If we approach our work as though it were something we had to do and if it were not com- pulsory we would not slo it. Evidently our spiritual being must be doctored. If we be- come weak and frail in body, it is very probable we can blame it to the same cause. And when we are overtaken with that hazy feeling, what a pleasure it is to go to God THE PGLY in prayer and through that means receive cannot lay too much emphasis upon prayer. when everything else has failed. Happy to inexperienced student to learn to ask God Morning XYatch Club who have their time something that makes us new and happy. XVe It is the one thing that will console a person say, our organization furnishes a place for the fo help. For within our organization is the fo prayer every morning. Once a fellow links himself with this bunch nothing can tear him away. There is something invigorating about a prayer service in the early hours of the morning that inspires one for greater things, and prepares him for the day. The organization is an important factor n linking the school with the surrounding country. Not only do we receive great help rom the state conventions in which we have our delegations. but also we have a standing hat places our representatives in the National Volunteer Conventions and other gatherings phat are for the purpose of pronoting higher things in student bodies, As has been stated our young oiganization has reached a prominent place in our school life, and we realize its importance at present. but we look forward to the time when the Y. ll. C. A. shall be as far ahead of its present state as we are now better than no or- ganization at all. We look forward to the erection of a building, which will be a great con- venience. and so let us grow in spirit as we grow in convenience. lt is perhaps true that a ..- ww- - . f , ', 1-t', A'., x .. N F Y, M. C. A. GROUP new building will in a way make some think more of the greatness of belonging to an or- ganization so blessed, then they will think of he real spirit that should be and is back of our association at present. But we have reasons to believe that others will feel the greater responsibility of doing a great work, and wil so overshadow the other little feeling that it will be but a drop in the ocean in comparison. The Y. M. C. A. stands open for all fel- lows at all times in our school, and may it ever possess the brotherly spirit that now pre- vails and may it ever be a factor in promoting the word of God. L. XV. bl. -69- A Young Women is Christian Assin xt.ylL'L,f?n: ' 'ffley-4+ Y. VV. C. A. The Y. XY. C. .Y has become a recognized factor in the world of women and girls today. Organized in a small way some forty years ago, it has grown till the member- ship is nuinbei-ed by hundreds of thousands. Besides its National Board, which employs forty-tive headquarter specialists and fifty traveling, or field secretaries, the association has secretaries doing work in China, India, Burma, Ceylon, Japan, and South America. ln home fields, work is done among immigrant women and girlsg in rural districts the County Y. NY. C. .Y brings a richer fuller life to the isolated girls on the farm: with Juniors -girls under sixteen: among lndian girls who need help in the adjustment be- tween reservation and school life: in cities where educational classes are held, boarding homes maintained, and settlement work doneg and in schools and colleges, giving the girls a chance for religious expression in their lives and training them for future Christiar. service. Because the need was felt at the Polytechnic for an organization with such a pur- pose. the -Xssociation here came into being in .lanuary of this year. Mrs, Miller, who was here then. helped the girls organiie. About thirty girls and lady members of the faculty became charter members. XYeekly devotional meetings have been held. led for the most part by the members. Sometimes there has been special music. The Association has maintained a Home Mis- sion Study class which meets once a week and is open to any member of the school. The text book used is The Challenge of the County by Fisk. Ten members are enrolled in the class. Miss Griffith. a National Y. XY. C. -Y Secretary, visited us and gave us an informal talk on the work on the Association in its different phases. She made us feel that we are a part of' a great movement in which girls and women are working for their sisters, giving them something to live for, something to do, and many good times along the way. Continued on Page One Hundred Forty-two -70- A ll lzrisiiczn Endeavor . Although there are many other Christian organizations in the school, the Christian Endeavor Society has its place, and a prominent one. There is a need of something to occupy the long Sunday evenings which are so tiresome if we remain in our rooms with nothing to do. It is a thousand times better that we congregate for an hour in the name of our Master than for us to congregate in the room of our fellow students, with no other purpose than to gossip. Uur meetings during the year have been instructive and inspiring for the ones who have given their interest to the Endeavors welfare. Nlfe have discussed many things that interest social workers, and all such problems that are of vital importance to each and every true citizen of our nation. It has been the plans of the ones in charge to make each and every member receive some be-nent from the few hours spent, and to carry that Higher spirit that each may be prompted on by that invisible Something that makes one yearn to be able to help in pro- moting the greatest mission movement ever launched. If, during the past year, our meet- ings has given courage to just one student, and inspired him to greater things which can be achieved only by the help of God, we have a worthy mission, and have fulfilled it. lt is a great thing for the student to take his stand by leading a meeting in which God is recognized as the Supreme Une. Most all the students have such a privilege, if they care to grasp it, and many of them do. It is noble for them to lead such meetings, for then it truly sets them to thinking. and once their eyes are turned toward our Maker. that magnetizing power which we cannot understand will do the rest. . HL. w. J. ll Convention Impressions Something that is not directly in connection with school, yet something that has its mighty induence in institutions of learning, is the Y. M. C. A. convention and the fon- vention of national import. Both are for the purpose uf extending the teaching of Christ, either to foreign lields or to communities or individuals within our own great country. We were fortunate to have sent seven representatives fthe banner delegationj, to the State Y. M. C. .X. Convention at Bozeioan last November. Each member returned with a large store of enthusiasm, intending to scatter it broadcast over the campus. XVhether or not they succeeded in getting any of their optimism rooted, remains to be seen, but it is certain that our delegates could not go iorth into life absorbing the thots of such speak- ers as Mr, .Xlfred XYaite. C. C. lYilliams, and C. C. Smith, without a determination to further the cause of Jesus whenever and wherever the opportunity permits. The Poly- technic delegation was composed of Y. Xl. C. A. members, Geo. H. Pickle, Ora C. Mudd. E. H. Lukenbill and A. E. Shaver fboth faculty representativesj, L. XY. Johnson tPoly Presidentj. and Mr. E. H. Kleinert Cunattachedj. Put now allow me to turn to the Student Volunteer Convention, Kansas City, Xio., December 31 and January 5, 1913-l9l-1. In Convention Hall all corners of the earth were represented, and all were assembled in one purpose-the gathering in of workers for the ripened harvest and the Evangelization of the lVorlcl in the Present Generation. Continued on Page One Hundred Forty-two H Elfl Mission auci Bible Study El MISSION AND BIBLE STUDY CLASSES One ul the great aims of the founders of this lnstitution was to establish a school where not alone would an education be secured, but where well-rounded characters would he cleveloped. The Mission and Bible Study Classes have been one of the potent forces in bring- ing about this growth of character. lt aims in every wholesome way to develop four- square men and women who will give .lesus Christ the supreme place in their lives. The classes, tho having a late beginning, have progressed rapidly and have ever fos- tered the Christian spirit. The visit of Reverend Charles H. Miller, and later of' Sec- retary Honnshell, created at deep Spiritual awakening, and made us feel the responsibil- ity of carrying the Gospel to those who have not yet heard the story of the Savior. Meetings are held every Sunday evening and are open to all who wish to come. The topics are assigned a week in advance, and all are free to take part in the discussion. The membership, altho' not very large, and tho' the worlc is quietly carried on, nevertheless the value and extent of its inHuence in the State of Polytechnic cannot be estimated. lt has been an oasis in the desert to many hard-piessed and lingering souls who have not yet come into the light of the Christian life. The outlook for the classes at present seems bright. All responsibility is not placed upon the leader alone, but the individual members are assuming their share of the work. lVith this renewed interest we feel that the purpose of such an organization is being fulfilled and that Christ is becoming more ot a reality to the students in the practical affairs of every-day life. It is an organization where boys and girls of all classes meet on the same grounds and as the years go by its intluence for the gooql should increase. -7 2.. THE POLY !

The body is the home of the mind, and must, therefore, be kept perfect if we would have a strong, active mind. The Tech basketball team of the year was not altogether successful.The team en- countering difficulties on every side. went through a strong schedule. XVhen we take into account the many difficulties with which the men had to coiftend, we can give nothing but words of Commendation for the untiiing spirit of loyalty which led these men to con- tinue the uphill fight against such odds. Of such perseverance, every student should be proud, no matter whether our part be victory or defeat. Near the close of the regular season, the second team formed themselves into a iegular squad, assuming the name of Cyclones. The boys-for such they were, if only in age-proved themselves representative of everything the name suggests. Despite the fact that several of their number had had but little experience, they put up a game that was fast and exciting from start to linish. It can be truthfully said that this was a team that never met defeat. Out of the six or eight games played, some of which included the school tournament fwhich, how- ever, was never finished for reasons unknown to the authorj, the Cyclones never lost a game. It is very probable that this school ournament will be made a regular feature uf basketball seasons in the future. TN Pg l9l4 BASKETBALL SQUAD ...751 II Q' s' .' Baseball 'Q 's 'Q BASEBA LL NINE For some apparently unaccountable reason baseball has never flourished at the Poly. In looking over the records of the past years, one discovers but few undisputed victories of the diamond. The reasons for this are no readily to be found. As compared with the results in football, the reason is plain, for in football we have generally had expert coach- ing, and a great deal of time and energy has been spent in developing a winning team. In baseball the coaching has for the most part been done by the captain. During the past few years we have had moderate success at various times. Last year with a team that lost but one game, those who followed its career saw a group of men who worked hard and faithfully, and who did, at times, play line ball. Of course, baseball results for 1914 are as yet unregistered, but indications are that the spirit of iight and hard work. combined with proper coaching, will unite to insure for the Poly a place at the top in the games with our neighboring institutions. ' I I I TRACK EVENTS I I I Track and held sports have for several years occupied an important place in the athletic activities of the Poly. This branch of athletics is especially worthy of com- mendation. because it gives opportunity for physical development along so many differ- ent lines. Every man rests upon his own abilities, and the best man wins. One of the greatest aids along this line at the Poly is the possession of a fine ath- letic held, with all the necessary equipment. This makes possible the holding of inter- scholastic meets, which tend to make outside students better acquainted with the Insti- tute, and serves as a very potent factor in bringing to the Polytechnic, men who are both students and athletes. In spite of many disadvantages, the Poly has been able to acquire quite a reputation in this line of work. To maintain the former standard through this year will be quite a task. The loss of such men as Guiler, Sherry, Thompson, IVest, Armstrong, and Lynch, is sure to be severely felt in the rank of track athletics. There is, however, some excellent material left as a nucleus, and this, combined with that to be found among the new students, should make itself felt before the year is over. ..7 5, H THE GYM Aside from the regular athletics maintained and fostered by every school, are many gymnasium activities which might be mentioned. Steam heat was added to our gym this year and several new pieces of apparatus served to increase our equipment. The basket-ball floor is probably the largest in the state and several very interesting occasions demanded our attention at the playhouse during the winter. During the period from four to six o'clock the place was a scene of all sorts of antics. A large mat furnished the opportunity for wrestling and tumbling, and the horizontal bars gave the more dar- ing a chance to exhibit their skill l U. The girls had their regular days for the use of the Hoor. They organized two teams for basket ball and had several rousing games among themselves. They, too, had their regular class work which consisted mostly of rhythmic exercises leading to and in- cluding the May-pole and folk dances given at the May Day festivities. ltiis the plan of the school management during the coming years to lay more stress upon Physical Training in general and to this end a regular course, both theoretical and practical, is being mapped out. This course, it is planned, will not only be a means of re- creation. but will develop the individual so that he will realize with Spencer that, To play a good athletic game is the mark of a well-rounded education.

About forty fun-loving girls lived there until the new dormitory was completed. Crowded? Yes, but no one seemed to care because the old saying, 7l.'he more the mer- rierf' was true in this case. Three deputies were appointed to keep the peace, but were not needed very often at any of the rooms except at No. l3, whose occupants were perfectly good t?j., but could not keep quiet during the study hours. Room No. fi had the reputation of being the Xluddiest room in the bungalow. Other peculiarities of the old Fort were Room No. 14, which seemed to be contin- ually haunted-candy disappearing at all hours in the most mysterious mannerg Room No. 9 was a scene of continual egg feeds. The girls, after so much piactice, achieved the art of drawing a hen so perfectly that when thrown into the waste basket, the hen would lay there. , As a whole. we were a happy, contented bunch. llut occasionally our desire for diver- sion becaine dominant, and we would saunter forth to the carrot patch or parade as In- dians disturbing the peace of mind of all studious members on the campus, But that was mild, compared with the shrieks and incantations of ghosts on a certain occasion about midnight. We still believe that the ghosts made less noise than the people who saw them. How well some of us remember that upon our return from an evening walk, we found the hall door obstructed by an enormous pile of trunks. Great was the downfall thereof! ' In conclusion. we might say that the writer was an inhabitant of the room where the deputies called often, and frequently with an unpleasant expression. especially when they discovered part of the occupants under an overturned bed and the others armed with pil- lows. Our long-suHeriug ollicials had little time ln listen to what occurred in the more peaceful apartments. ' H. P. M ..... Caclfjlings from the Hen Coop .....

But then for one whole glorious day we had the joy of hitching ourselves to the other end of a string or handle and toting whatever chanced to be attached thereto. to the new clown through a rapidly cloven atmosphere. No more than one can see the path of a ship in the water after it has passed. or than one can see the course of a bird in its flight through the air, or than one can see the trail of the bullet after it has sped its way through the ozone-no more than one could see these things. could you see the path taken by we who moved on that presto-change day. Another whole day did we enjoy searching for our trunks. chairs. tables. beds. and bureaus, from out the wagon loads which were stacked in the front hall. And how gloriously all our extremest hopes and expectations for the new hall were realized when we had completed the decorating in our rooms! How very homelike they seemed. and how contented we all became immediately! From that time on there was no time to go in search of amusement, we were too busy in disposing of the amusements that came in search of us. XYe must. of course. mention our parlor. Qf this cozy corner we are all very proud. The tire-place is an item of esteem, and great is the pleasure of toasting marshmallows here. Altho as yet many of its furnishings are a matter of conjecture. we have no doubt but that when Miss Ruth gets Rich she will not forget us. Qui' rooms are all large, fin- ished with beautiful woodwork and desirable wall tints-and big windows. Many little incidents occurred. however, to make us thrice happy. One. the entertain- ing of the second lloor girls by those residing on the first floor. As the writer was a host, she does not wish to say too much. but is sure that the affair was at least novel. .Xlso rather novel was the request of Mr. Miilloughby when in search of company for a Sunday afternoon stroll. He wished one of the Merrill girls-the one twho. which. thatj hadn't red hair. Yve don't think that he found her. Mr. Mleeman also wishes one of the girls. but he doesn't exactly know the name-possibly if they would all form in line and march down the hall. he could select the desired individual. And then there are also those. who, in spite of all efforts. know not where our bungalow is. Mr. Cook, young. good- looking, and a very capable politician. apparently -nil! not see our Hall at all. XYe stand always for strict observance of study hour, and also the rights of others in regard to early hours of repose. especially our much-loved Miss Brown, and if any one should doubt this, we might advise inquiring of Miss Mace. Mle are sure that she would assent to the statement that four or live alarm clocks and plenty of other noise is a very gentle hint to that Hman from home that it is getting late. --Xlso there are a few mysteries about our bungalow which have never been satisfac- torily answered or explained-for instance. the following: i One evening as Mr. L. T. Eaton was strolling on the south boulevard about 3 or -l rods from our hall, his attention was attracted by strange sounds arising from our build- ing-deep sobs, moans. and low cries of agony. Becoming alarmed for the safety of the occupants of the hall. he hurriedly crossed the corn patch and came within a few feet of the building: by the time he had reached this spot the cries had ceased and all was silence. After waiting a few minutes for the sounds of suffering to be renewed, he turned his foot- steps toward his own little bungalow, which is situated at the father end of the campus. and had almost reached same when a most terrifying scream of agony burst upon the still night. subsequently dying away in moaning wails. Again and again the night air was rent bv the terror-stricken cries, followed by that long-drawn-out sob of anguish. Mr. Eaton hesitated, his heart rent in twain by said piercing calls, turned to go back, then remember- ing Klrs, Eaton, and fearing she would become nervous on hearing such cries. he rushed Continued on Page One Hundred Forty-five -93- H Arisio Reflecioscope Pseudonym Dreamed Wisdom I Time Passed Morse, 4-uYL 1lJon't talk in your sleep.J l'il1 from Steamboat Rock, Iowa, where, when the noon whistles start to work. it sounds like the combined naries of the world blowing for a draw-bridge.

THE POLY LEARNING TO LIVE l. One day I left my old home town And started out to find A place where I could settle down And live like human kind, And not be everlastingly Besetted with the fear That I should soon a fasting be- And some how. landed here. . 2. I came: and I'm not lying: lo A foot through mud and rain. Across lots and a crying, bo And suffering woful pain. For I had been some time without A blessed bite to eat. And what I got here,-hear me shout! It tasted mighty sweet. 3. I licked my chops, I rubbed my eyes, And felt of Bly poor head- I sighed an awful lot of sighs. And thought that I was dead- And up in Balyos sunny land, Altho I could not see How good St. Peter ever planned A place up there for me. 4. I saw a fellow near me: so I askecl where I was at. He said, At Polytechnic, Bo! I said. XYhat place is that ? 5 Now hear me all you anxious lads Xliho wish to cease to be A burden to your poor old dads lust lend your ear to me, And I will try to tell you how And why and when and where You should begin, you lads who vow - You'd like to do your share. 6. First, take a look around you, bo, And size the old world upg If you're any good you're bound, you know To decide to dip your cup Deep in the spring of knowledge, bo, And fill it to the brim- And then look for the College, bo, At which you'll get your Trim ll' 7. Right now I want to tell you, bo. Before you make a start, That you'd do mighty well, you know, To look into Poly's heart! I know whereof I speak, 1ny lad, For I've known her for a year. Believe me, boy, I'm surely glad I've met old Poly Dear! 8. Yes, come and camp with Poly, boy, If you'd have your life count much, For I tell you, my jolly joy, ' There's not another such.

Our purpose is not to develop a formula of destiny but the construction and equipment of a living man. Theory of Comparison by Mr. Earl Beall: Chemist. RESULUTION: That all the presen so-called elements, known and unknown. are one and the same element, and differ in atom and molecular arrangement. namely: tld Think Tank: SIN B4 Functions: Since the mind is the central generator of the man mechanism, it de- velops all tplus and minusj charges, causes dissociation of ions, therefore if the ionic condition of two minds are the same, there results a transmission of thought in any mind, continued till the potential has reached the zero point, then the generator is shifted.

Results: Because of the secant is in backwards and he cantt see his think tank beyond his reach, his Adam's apple in his bread basket and his bread basket upset, his pedal ex- tremities too short for navigation and his positive nature having too great an attraction for the negative charges, he would be deflected from his course and go tO t D- MOTTO: Let's quit before we go too far.

Further, to explain to the faculty that anything displeasing to them is inserted by mistake. Then he must apologize to everybody whose picture is in this book-to say that the photographer was cruel in taking a likeness-he should have made an artistic picture. But the Editor has no apologies to make. Every effort has been put forth to make this book characteristic of school life, and if there should be any interest not represented, the oversight was entirely unintentional. just deal fairly with the publication and re- member that theie is some little work connected with the publishing of an annual, and that this work must be done apart from that of the class room, If you have no use for the book, just keep it anywayg it will make a good ornament for your library table, and you may be able some day to make an unsuspecting friend a Christmas present of it. If, in after years. this book helps to bring back pleasant memories to mind and makes you smile over past school days, it has accomplished its purpose and done all that the editors intended that it should do.

The corpulence which doth attach itself to our already overburdened frames of bones and sinews, is a hindrance to daily tasks, al- though much appreciated when the Summer Solstice hath hied itself off to distant climes. liach of the qualilied members of this most circumstantial organization doth hereby agree to conform strictly to the habitat and daily cycle of necessities which demand a reduction of avoirdupois. Candidates for admission shall be thoroughly passed by the Magnus Examiner, and if applicant shall have reached the minimum scale figure, and shall have proven the Heetness of his pedal extremities, such prospect shall be accepted into full membership upon making the mile in 23 tlat. The Chief Examiner shall determine such other tests as may seem to be necessary for the elimination of those doubtful ones not being able to make the entrance requisites. BY-LAXV S -Xt each meeting a summary or resume of weights shall be made. and if the average shall each successive meeting have been reduced one or more pounds, the life of said or- ganization continuesg while, if the scale shall still groan under its burden of ponderous personages, more strenuous anti-measures shall be adopted. Meetings shall be called to order by the Most High Xludjelca, whenever practical, and in his absence, the Exalted Mogul Hibernia, Prof. Thomas Mulloyvney, shall assume power and sway the indiscriminate gathering. The order of business shall be as follows: Old business. New business. Other peoples business. Admission uf candidates, and dismissal of superannuated ones. Administering of unalteralile vow. Operation by the bloodless method for diseased tongue and lips. Anything else necessary. -104- hatrclgliuction toAdvertising 459 Qepartment and Jokg ABOUT OUR ADVERTISERS To flu' SZL!ltft'lIfS and .F1'Iit'lllfS of Hia Billings Polytcclzzzic Iizsfitzzfa' Wie would call your attention to the fact that those men who have advertised in this book, have made its publication possible. They hfave shown themselves to be true friends of the Institute. and are deserving of your support. Those of you who have had any part in editing or managing a school annual, know how much the students can help by patronizing those firms who advertise in their publications. To those who will in the future, we can only say, how much smoother your task will be f you patronize our advertisers, and let them know where you saw their 'L-Xml, when you make your purchases. Then the one best way to help Poly publications is to PUf1'OIlIi.2't' Our .Jii'i'cz'f1'.vv1'.v. Cook: Say, Kline. what is the best way to strike a crank for an ad, in the Annual? Kline: Strike him first with a club.

We should worry an-l lose our girlish Latcfer. Rollins: They say an ounce of radium would blow the Rritish navy out of the water. Bolles: Let's get a pound and raise the level of the Pacific ocean and have a sub- marine railroad beneath the waves. Hygiene Teacher: Stocker, why must we always keep our rooms clean ? Stocker: Recause the faculty may call for an investigation any time. Some men hide their light under a bushel, but others hide themselves in the spot-light. in hopes of becoming brilliant. The best cure for intemperance is to drink water. Be sure that you are wrong, then refrain. - Shaver: 'cXYeeman, are you first in anything in school?

NU - S fr I L E 3014 First Avenue North -110- P Billings Polytechnic ln titute The sixth year of the Polyteclmic will open on September 15, for a term of thirty-six weeks. NYT-TO MAY ENTER: This is the people's school and any young person fourteen years old or over, may enter. There are no entrance examinations and diplomas from the eighth grade are not required. No matter how far back in his studies a student may be. he will find at the Polytechnic work to meet his needs. The boy or girl who has com- pleted only the fifth grade receives the same attention as the high school graduate. CHARTER OF TXSTTTUTION: A Polytechnic is an educational institution in which instruction is given in many arts and sciences. more particularly in reference to their practical application. It combines practical training with a liberal education. Special at- tention is called to the following courses: .eXGRlCULTL'RE: Because of the splendid irrigated farm with the orchard. gardens. dairy. and demonstration of crops, the school is able to offer the best advantage in practical work in agriculture. The course is secondary in character, and aims to make practical and intelligent farmers. Along with the special work in agriculture, the student gets a good knowledge of carpentry, cement work, steam and gas engines, bookkeeping, natural sci- ences, english, and other culture subjects A boy who completes the agricultural course at the Polytechnic has not only covered the essential studies of the regular high school, but he has taken in addition all the practical work offered in the regular agricultural college. BUSINESS AND SHORTHAND: The Polytechnic maintains the most thorough business college in all Montana and lYyoniing. The school is equipped with a modern bus- iness exchange, new Remington typewriteis, and has a strong faculty. The young man who takes histbusiness course at the Polytechnic has all the advantages of a well organized col- lege with gymnasium, athletics. free class in music. literary societies, and all those things which make life pleasant in school. No student who once realizes the advantage in this school will think of taking his course in some down-town, so-called business college loe cated in a few rooms on a upper floor of some business block. XQRMAL: The normal department offers a four year course to those who have fin- ished the eighth grade. This course will prepare any young woman to become a thorough and efficient teacher in rural or graded schools. Young ladies who have finished their high school course, may complete the normal course at the Polytechnic in two years. The teach- ers in charge of the normal department are graduates of the best normal schools in the East, have had years of experience in the public schools. and know their needs PREPARATORY EXGINEERTNG3 Many ambitious young men are turning their minds to engineering as a profession but heeause of lack of training, are not able to enter a regular school of engineering. The Polytechnic offers a preparatory engineering course where young men may take the essential gtudies in engineering and at the same time the studies. whieh are 1-equh-ed if they enter 311 advanced school of engineering. By taking this preparatory eourge they ht thenqgelveg tn heeome practical engineers and should they wish to go on to an advaneed gghgol, they will be able to enter with advanced standing. Any eighth grade graduate who intends to take engineering will save two years by taking the preparatory course at the Polytechnic insteafl of 21 high school COUTSC- THE ACADEMY: The aeademie department is organized to meet the demand for a high grade aeademy in thig region, Many parents and teachers realize that young peo- ple should not be sent away from home to the country or city high school when there is 'io provision made for dormitories or care of the students. The Polytechnic is a home school and every boy and girl receives the same watchful care as is given in the best homes. The academy prepares the student for entrance into any standard college or university. The course is complete and thorough. Many young people find time to take music or some other study in addition to the regular cOU1'Se. . -111- TI-IE POLY THE COLLEGE: The junior college course is arranged for high school graduates and for those who have finished the academic course at the Polytechnic. The leading edu- cators recommend a two year course to follow the academic or high school. This course prepares for junior standing in any university. The faculty in charge of the academy and college is a strong one, and students and those deciding to take their college course at the Polytechnic will have superior advantages. ORATORY AND DRAMATIC ART: Much time is given to reading. public speaking, and dramatic art at the Polytechnic. Those who wish may spend their whole time in this department. MUSIC: The Polytechnic maintains a conservatory of music. The teachers in charge rank with the best in the country. During the coming year a special building is to be erected to accommodate this department, and it is to be made the leading conservatory of music in the Northwest. GENERAL INFORMATION HOME FARM SCHOOL: The Polytechnic is located on its own large irrigated farm, three miles from the city of Billings. The students live in comfortable, modern cottages, under the direct over-sight of the faculty. The boarding department is supplied with fresh vegetables, fruit. eggs, milk and cream from the model demonstration farm. STUDENT SELF GOVERNMENT: The institute is organized as a self-governing state with the students as voting citizens. The laws of the state are made by the legisla- ture and enforced by the executive officers chosen by the citizens. This system of govern- ment has been thoroughly tested and is proving most ideal. All students soon realize that they must stand well in their best behavior if they are to stand well in the. Polytechnic State. , ATHLETICS: The management of the school encourages clean athletics. The gym-- nasium, athletic Held and track are all maintained to encourage athletic sports. Foot ball, basket ball, base ball. tennis, and track teams are maintained. SOCIETIES: In the school there is maintained for the faculty and students a church, Young Men's Christian Association, Young IVomen's Christian Association, a dramatic club, and four litei-ai-y societies, All these add much to the welfare and culture of the student body. STUDENT ROOM: All rooms are in modern cottages supplied xvith hot and cold water, bath, electric light, and steain heat, The institution supplies all bedding except blankets and comforts. EXPENSES: The expenses at the Polytechnic are reduced to the minimum when the advantages offered are considered. Room, board, and tuition in any department of the seliool, is 390 foi- a thi-ee mouths' tei-ui when paid in advance. A small amount is charged for laboratory and athletic fees. : A CQNCLUDING XVQRDg It is desired to have a clear understanding of the real purpose of the institute fixed in the mind of every reader of this annual. The school was established in order that the young- iueu ausl women of the Northwest should have the opportunity of an education and that this education should be of the character that would prepare them to go into the home region ready for useful citizenship. It is not a part of the public school system established by law. but as fat 35 possible it CO-Operates with the public schools and state institutions, It is non-sectarian and not organized to meet the interests of any one organization, but it is distinctly Christian and in harmony with all organiza- tions. The Institute centers its every thought upon the individual student and his future relations to the state of which he is to become a part. Every effort is being made to place the Institution in a position to egu-1-y out its high purpose and fulfill the mission intrusted to it.

There is brewed the fate of the nations in the form of certain mixtures by which the nation is remembered-Lentils. Sauer liraut, ffl mam and Boston Baked Beans, etc. The kitchens of our ancestors furnish us with an idea as to their physical character- istics, number of pounds pressure that their stomach could stand, kind of food and the amount of ignorance used in preparing and consuming it. .AX modern kitchen is presided over by a being so constructed that he may give short notice of absence and act upon it immediately, to the detriment of his employers any number of times, but still be Welcome at the next door, as he conveys many choice bits of gossip from one man's table to another's. This being is called a cook and is in direct alliance with the doctor and dyspepsia tablets. Cooks are of various ages, sexes and nationalities. A cook is more feared by many than death, especially those who happen to belong to the class termed Women-they wield a despotic rolling pin to a good purpose. To a person who has incurred the dislike of a cook. death is a relief from his sufferings. No man dares to sit in the cook's corner. even though the steam plant be frozen fast to the boiler. A kitchen is well heated in proportion as the presiding member becomes expert in dodging the fuel trust: Consequently he knows how to substitute wood, corn cobs, old shoes, paper and other by-products of civ- ilization for the union-made coal which is so popular for the production of heat. Much food is also partly cremated by inexperienced cooks, but this is not economical and is often the cause of a sad termination of a honeymoon. The kitchen often produces biscuits fit for billiard-balls, alsoa substance called the staff of life, but more comment is called forth by it than was ever aroused by the efforts of the Associated Press.

Then you take a voter or two, and several scions of pure Havana, and have the voter place the scions between his lips, care being taken to cut a thin slice off the stem end: next give the voter a match which he may apply to the blossom end of the Havana twig. This will give the fruit produced a fine flavor. After this you search for the split in the old parties. XVhen this has been found, you conceal yourself in the crevice caused by the split. Then you bind the wound over with red tape a few days before election. The most important time in the life of a grafter is at the Polls, There is need of the utmost coaxing on the part of the politician to prevent landslides which might affect the right Poltlje. The chief danger in lanslides is that they are apt to leave the roots of the graft exposed to the withering glare of Public Opinion. If the Polls are passed successfully, the graft is at once eligible to the name of a plum. Although some of the plums will not attain a large size at first, by careful management they often grow to the size of a common pumpkin. Lobbying is most safely accomplished by the voter at the time of a legislative session. Grafts are sometimes affected by certain diseases: the most common form of disease known in the form of a parasite Clnvestigation Committeesl. The ailment is most suc- cessfully treated by ta preparation known as tGovernment XVhitewashJ.

During a trial for a serious offense against the Polytechnic State, the attorney for the defense. Mr. Guiler, tinding his side at a disadvantage as regards the evidence, turned on a pathetic shower of tears when he had just started his plea. Barnes was observed tak- ing off his shoes. 'Upon being asked what he was doing it for, he answered: I am just getting ready to wade out. Bill has the tears turned on and has just started, what will it be when he gets the rest of them started. An American Eagle was discovered near the barns by a Poly Pioneer last fall. An amusing situation came up at the Polytechnic at the time the big bald Eagle was presented to the school in the name of the Eagle Literary Society. The Financial Direc- tor was in the midst of his dedicatory speech and had just finished a story in which the eagle carried of the glory. stating with pride that he was a member of that cultured order, The American Eagles of the Polytechnic, when some one from the outside of the build- ing shouted, so as to be plainly heard by the audience, Oh! You Stuffed Eaglef' The remark caused the audience to applaud the unseen speaker, to the disappointment of the holder of the floor, who waited for his share of the recognition, then remiarked that it was discouraging to have thought up a funny story, and then have the audience laugh at an- other person's remark. This closed the speech rather abruptly. A Poly student happened to come froma town that had passed the boom stage. On his arrival at the Institute, he met a former resident of the town.

Yet it i-Hers the opportunity uf advancement to the highest branches. .Xmong the primary hranches which are untler the competent management of Miss ,lohnson, are: Elementary, Commercial, and -Xclvancecl Arithmetic, while the higher mathe- matics are uniler the ilirection of Mr. XY. H. Dyer, ancl Mr. A. 0. Kline. Two of the next most important sciences which have an historical recorcl of nearly equal rank are Physics and Chemistry, also taught by lXf'lr. Dyer. Physics ancl physical apparatus were little known to the ancients, ancl only a few instruments were available for scientilic observations. -Xrchimetles was the first mathematician worthy of mention, as he ilicoverecl the law of leverage anrl a few hyclrostatic principles. The seventeenth century marketl the actual start of physical science. From this time to the present clay many men have given their whole lives to the aclvancement of theories pertaining to the physical universe.

M. -136- THE POLY ORMAL DEPAR TMENT Continued from Page Twenty-three for a certain amount of ground and other practical problems they will meet in later life. During the coming year the Normal stuflents will have the 'advantage of a Modern Rural school which is to be built on the Polytechnic farm. Here they will be given an opportunity to work out their ideas in their own individual way. XYe believe with Pestalozzi that our pupils should first come in contact with things, and then the words will have content or meaning to them. Dr. Montessori also empha- sizes this fact and would have the school room lined with cases containing material which will help the pupil to make an intensive study of the subject under consideration. Through our Student Government our Normal pupils are learning that an individual is his own true master only when he can regulate his conduct to follow some rule of lifeg that liberty through activity must be the ideal of discipline: that the part of the teacher is to suggest. to guide, but not to dictate. It is this principle of discipline througfi freedom, advocated by Dr. Montessori, which has caused much of the criticism on her method. A lack of complete comprehen- sion of this principle brings chaos rather than order. She lets the child do as he pleases because she first teaches him to please to do right. This is the secret of all true discipline. Our Xormal students are encouraged in taking an active part in all lines of social activity because they should be leaders in the social life of their schools when they enter the teaching profession. XYe want to send out teachers who will know what Browning means when he says: Let things be-not seem, T counsel rather, do and no wise dream: Eartlrs young significance is all to learn: The dead Greek lore lies buried in the Urn, lYliere he who seeks fire finds ashes. ENGINEERING DEPAR TMEN7 Continued from Page Twenty-four occasional heavy stroke of the pen to drive away the dull monotony of the tiresome page, but the engineer is the man of the hour, the man who does things and who will continue to do things. ' Fancy him, if you will, designing and building the great railroads of the nation, which must bear the nation's commerce from one place to another according to the great law of supply and demand. Or cutting mountains down and connecting the two great oceans with a waterway large enough to fioat the largest ship that modern engineering has been able to build. He may be designing the skyscrapers of 'the metropolis, the city water supply. sewerage system, or building the lighting or street railway systems. It makes very little difference which of these he may be doing, if he is an engineer he is in a useful and honorable business. XYith this as the present position that the engineer holds, try to imagine what is be- fore us with new and more complicated questions coming up every day, During the first semester one of the students undertook the wiring of the new dormi- tory. He planned out the circuit, estimated the amount of material needed, made out his bills and sent them in. The work when completed was first class and stands as a record of what this student has been doing while in school. --137- THE POLY 0119 01- two 1-93150113 tt-hy there is such a demand for a good engineer in any of the various phases of the work may be of interest. Every year there are thousands of young men who start to school intending to be engineers. lt takes only four or Eve years to turn a man out, ready to take up practical woik. XVhy is the country not flooded with these men? They lack thoroughness in their preparatory work. They enter college and a large percentage fail at the end of the first semester. Others drag on for a year or two and are either lost in their work or give it up as tor hard. Many others seek an easier or a shorter course. lYhen the linal year comes and the list is checked over, we find we have from live to ten per cent of the raw material ready to be put out for public use. A GRICUL 7 URAL DEPAR TMENT Continued from Page Twenty-six Still another opening for the young' man trained in agriculture. is found in the Civil Service. .Ns an opportunity for gaining expezience, it can hardly be surpassed. The lines which may be taken up are many, and the salaries paid are usually good. In this connec- tion may also be mentioned the experiment station work. which every year calls for men trained along special lines and qualified for scientific investigation. ln all of these branches of work there are many openings for advancement for the man who is thoroughly capable and is not afraid to work. lfor here as everywhere, the man who proves himself to be big- ger than his job is being sought tu fill higher and more responsible positions. ln many ways the Polytechnic is well equipped to provide the best and most practical type of agricultural education. Theory anl practice are combined wherever it is pos- sible. ll'hile there are no expensively equipped laboratories, the farm twhich is, indeed, a great laboratoryf. is ever present. and many of the theories studied in the class room are worked out upon it. The orchard serves as an excellent means for teaching the proper care and management of fruit trees by allowing the student to go through the actual proc- ess of grafting, pruning, and spraying. The live stock with which the farm is fairly well stock, is also used for demonstration purposes. The vocational or practical side is not the only one taken care of, for the liberal or broadening value of certain subjects are not forgotten and every student is required to take a large share of his work in the academic department. Ry this careful mingling of the vocational and the non-vocational. the student is developed evenly, and becomes a broad well balanced man, capable of going out into the world to take his place in life as an in- telligent. self-supporting, and useful citizen.

Your parents, sad to say, couldn't read it, your friends and your parents' friends couldn't read it: but if you yourself had only been able to talk, you could have translated it readily enuf. 'lfhat was shorthand. But true art is often obliged to go unappreciated, and so when you were live years old. you were sent to school, regardless of your being an adept at shorthand. 'lfhere they compelled you to learn another system of thot expression until at last your head was so full of those twenty-six hard letters of the alphabet-not to mention 2x2's and 5x6's-that your own superlatiyely ingenious method of writing was relegated further and further into the background, and thus finally it was entirely elfaced from your mem- ory. Nor was it reinstated until you were a grown-up and went to business college, or, better yet, to the Polytechnic. Here you entered the class room and after a short sermon about the dignity of phonographic labor, there was presented to you an utterly unintelligible mass of hiero- glyphic signs, dots, and curves. And be it to your shame to be forced to admit that you did not recognize here your old baby writing, simply grown and stereotyped. After a seemingly long period of hard work, however, this heterogeneous display of lines began really to mean something to you, and at length the day came when you were capable of taking down in full a lecture or sermon, or plea, and then later of transcribing the entire accumulation of notes into English, and even of writing it out on the typewriter, a perfect copy. Or what is still more marvelous, you found yourself able to decipher the notes of another as well as your own. Then it was that you looked with pity upon the person sitting next to you at the entertainment, because you realized his inability to carry away all the good thots in his memory, and his abject helplessness in writing all those thots that he might ponder over them later. The most disheartening thing is that these shorthand instructors are so ambitious for you. They quite insist on your following other lines of study, and they ultimately convince you that the better general education a person has, the greater are his opportunities for advancement toward the goal of perfection. One must have a general idea of the classics, accuracy in mathematics, an understanding of law and legal terms, and most important of ' 4 'wifi' 555 .l4f'fA6 - ,n liossozioiv Qi IO Q' Yf -Q+- ' Y J 9 .

These lines of knowledge, added to good judgment and a spirit of courtesy, truly ineulcated into one's personality, assure to a person the greatest possibilities for iieaching the very pinnacles of success in this, his chosen pro- fession. .Xt the Polytechnic, this course is one of the prime favorites, and besides the special department students, many are the others who pursue it as an adjunct to their own pre- scribed courses. ln the shorthand room the sound of the busy typewriters is never hushed, for here the students are continually running the gauntlet of increase in speed and accuracy. XYe have omitted any mention of the materialistic, commercial rewards for efficiency in attainment, but you have only to look about you to see the lucrative positions held by experts. Our stenographic alumni are proving themselves worthy of their training, and we can only hope and trust that those who leave us this year will sustain, yea even advance, our good name in the active business world, STUDEN 7 GO VERNMENT Continued from Page Forty-six most of the other planks, the Progressives agreed, with some so thoroughly that duplicates appeared in their platform. Besides those planks that obviously coincided, the Progres- sives supported three measures worthy of our consideration. Realizing the deficiencies of their legislators then in power, they presented two planks to prohibit their recurrence. The first- advocating a complete revision and recoditication of the constitution and the state laws, the second- favoring the enactment of such laws as would further a more eflicient. expedient, and instructive action of the Legislature. The third measure, the most important plank on exhibition in the cunpaign. was that demanding, by law, the regulation of the association of boys and girls during their residence at the Polytechnic. This arose from the feeling of anger and resentment held by the student body as a whole against the strict, but exceptionally just. restrictions. placed by the Education Director on the matter of student association. Nevertheless, before the general convention was held. the tiame of wrath, which had momentarily burst forth from the student body, was quenched-or, rather, had exhausted itself. The general convention was the final clash, having been preceded by a glorious rally of each of the parties in the field. In it were set foith in very striking manner, the principles of the two opposing parties, also the merits and frailties of the platforms. On the Monday following this mutual display of humor. wit, and, above all, sense, came the political landslide, at which time the Pro- gressives made their Last XVill and Testament, losing not only their scalps, but their heads also in the Polytechnic ll'afv1'I00. On the 31st of january the newly elected Dem- ocrats, like Hercules releaving Atlas of Qld of his heavy burden. now eagerly took up the reins of government where the worried and fatigued Sons of Progress had dropped them tDemocracy not dreaming what was to be its inheritancej Now these enthroned ones ran the last half of the yearly contest of successful politics, continually increasing speed, making a strong 'nnish and a state record for speed and endurance. The honor of win- ning such a record was due to the faithfulness of the state officers, especially the Leg- islature, from which issued a number of sane and just laws, with a formerly unknown scarcity of technicalities. Among them were the laws of Association and Merit. You say that you are tired of law. law, law. lVell! so are we, but law is law, and from it we have no power of escape. You insist, however, on hearing more concerning -140- THE PQLY the state record: whether it will be maintained by the Mules, or again broken by the group of Bull Moose which had been grazing peacefully all the while. Good friends. does it matter very much who holds the reins as long as the bace is steadily quickened each year. and if at the close of each administration we find ourselves nearer to the desired goal? To do this, we must compete merely enough to realize our individual fail- ings and then co-operate and concentrate as a unit on the deeper social problems of our state. In doing this, it will be necessary for the constitution to be remodeled. In the reconstructed constitution, we will enjoy not only Initiative, Referendum and Recall. and new election laws, under which district voting and registration will be estab- lished, but also a lenient enforcement of state laws during vacations-both holiday and summer-probably under the auspices of the Self Help League. Two other amendments of primary importance are those favoring the establishment of a Police Court in each of the respective districts, and the other demanding the adoption of a senate composed of three students and an equal number selected from the faculty, having for their chairman the 'Educational Director. The latter would not be taking away from the director any of the power now vested in him as final authority on the validity of a law or bill. but merely make that supreme power coincide with a more popular national form of govern- ment. Besides these desirable changes in our constitution, there is a more prominent issue for our unbiased future consideration. In fact, it cannot be emphasized too strongly that this contemplated addition of a cabinet to the temporarily pliable constitution should un- dergo thorough deliberation. All its possible effects, not only on student government. but upon the society of the Institute as a whole, must be patiently, studiously, and carefully traced out before any definite action. either positive or negative, should be taken. The natural questions that present themselves are: Is there a demand great enough in both the government and the life in general at the Institute, to warrant an action ? Hldfould a cabinet aid in doing away with the frequent failures and apparently exceeding delin- quencies which continually affect our social life P Xilhat would be the nature of such a cabinet. and what would be its manner of procedure? XYe believe that you who know the workings of the different phases of our school life-for instance, the failures con- nected with athletics and literary work, the lack of interest in oratorical and dramatic lines. and. above all, the stagnation connected to some extent with all the religious organ- izations. especially apparent in the Bible and Mission Study classes, and which dominates the spiritual life of a portion of the student body-will, beyond doubt, realize that some- thing is needed to bind all these branches into one centralized system. Now, since we all agree that some definite action should be taken to overcome these deficiencies, we must determine whether or not the cabinet will suffice to cure these ailments. These social evils can be resisted only by the most potent factor in the Institution, that of Student Government. If our government must deal with such ahfairs, it must give these important duties to new officials, since the present officers have duties too numerous to mention. Since new offices must be created for the dispelling of these social troubles, who could select better men to fill them than our chief executive, and who co-operate and agree with the administration more nearly than those chosen by him. because of their being each particularly fitted for his place among the cabinet officers? Such cabinet would probably consist of Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Secretary of Athletics. Secretary of Literary XYork, Secretary of Dramatic and Oratorical XVork, Secretary of Social XVork, Secretaries of the Y. XV. and the Y. M. C. A. The duties of these different officers wouid vary according to their line of action. but upon a few set principles they would undoubt- edly agree. The principle would naturaiiy be that all the cabinet officers would work iz. conjunction. that each would present the needs of his phase of work before the cabinet for its joint consideration, and that each would develop his line as nearly toward its rightful place in ideal society as is possible under the prevailing conditions.

'4All things are possible with God. This im- poses upon each and every one who was privileged to partake of the Feast of the Conven- tion Passover. the responsibility of earnest and undoubting intercession in behalf of The XVorld. All things are possible to those who believe. In order to give some idea of the representation, it is but necessary to quote a few statistics. Upwards of seven lnindred and fifty-live diHerent colleges and universities were represented in that record gathering, affording a student and teacher delegation of more than four thousand eager and sympathetic persons. not including more than one thousand returned missionaries. Y. M. C. A. and other delegates. making a body collect of about six thousand surrendered men and women. Before leaving Convention Hall. following each evening service, all delegates were handed Morning XVatch Cards, setting forth suO'0'estions for Jraver. The Erst sugges- s e-as l C , on -142- 15 THE POLY tion called for intercession thru Christ as the first thing each morning. The influence of united intercession was city wide. Constant communion was emphasized more than any- thing throughout the entire session. Such enthusiastic pleas as were heard from Dr. .john R. Mott, Sherwood Eddy. W. l. Bryan, Robert E. Speer, Dr. Horton Clsondon. England,l and others, aroused the emotion and interest of every delegate present and transmitted to him that great some- thing which moulds into a life purpose. Forenoons and evenings were the Convention gatherings in the Hall, but afternoons were held the sectional and denominational confer- ences, as well as furnishing the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the Courts of Religion and the various other displays in the Arcade, etc. Not alone in flzcsc meet- ings was inspiration to be received. for the group sections and ushers six o'clock ais- semblies proved a Mecca of beneiit. Both the Polytechnic delegates were fortunate enough to be allowed to enjoy the privileges accorded ushers, both serving in that capacity throughout the Convention. Visible results in our own school are the Morning lVatch. and Bible and Mission Study Classes under way for the first time his year. lVe have the faith and assurance that something of a far-reaching character has been born as a result of the Kansas City assembly. I will say that its influence has changed the life of at least one person. and God grant that its power may spread throughout the world. As to furture conferences, I will mention the Northwest Student Conference to be held in June at Columbia Beach. llc are to have at least one representative there. and ex- pect him to return with enthusiasm enough to last the whole year. lVe are sure that it will be a success, for it is truly for the Christ, hence how can it be otherwise.

From now on to the time school closes, there is a savage warfare between the press and the 'board, for the press', is hungry and the board is weary. The board would not like to register the subsequent things, but the press cannot be registering this at the same time. hence the victor and the vanquished. The Editor-in- Chief at this writing is in a. critical f?J condition. It is feared that Metamorphosis IS. The Business Manager has donned his over-everything and sallied forth to the fields to recover his healtht?l. The Cartoonist has taken a short leave of ab- sence from Spelling, etc., to recover from this first shock, for he is preparing for the climax when ANNUAL DAY arrives. The Joke Editor has the situation fairly well in hand-already quit school to work on the Poly farm-but not to raise anymore Polys. Then, there are the Photographer and the assistant editors who have disposed of danger from an outraged fill student body. One member has purchased a passport for home, this assuring her of the protection of the United States Government to her destination. Two others have contracted colds so that the humane student-masses may extend more pity and mercy. The Advisory Committee-well, it is best to allow them to slumber on, let them rest from their labors of vanity. Now if you want to learn a grand little secret, just read on a little. The fellow who is writing this is turning traitor, and divulging the hiding place of that Contemptible Annual Board. The writer can squeeze through, therefore feels safe in stating the plans of the Board, for he can make his getaway alright if Uncle Sam furnishes him a troop of cavalry from one of the Sheridan forts. The stunt is simply this: On the day of the Poly,s', appearance there will be in hiding in the west jungles ton the road leading southl a large automobile. At a known signal, by a pre- concerted understanding, the Cartoonist will hie himself to that auto in record time for the quar- ter. The Business Manager will be seen. hollow- eyed in appearance, just burning out his shoe soles' in an endeavor to reach cover over there at that auto. The Joke Editor will make tracks for the tall reeds from the west end of the fac- ulty bungalow. The Editor-in-Chief plans to re- main until last and see that the assistants are all safely advanced to the point of meeting- that mysterious black car-and then. being of rather good dimensions, the Chief will grasp in -143- T H li POLY his hand the jaw-bone of an-mule-and fight his way to that black car. Let me warn you, don't get too close to that Editor-in-Chief, for he will mow you down like grass. I hide 1ny eyes from the slaughtert?l. Well, the Cartoonist is going over to a place written on the railroad time cards as Bridger, Of course, if you look for him there, you will never see him if he sees You first. The Joke Editor is going away t?J for a brief space, and then steal back after school dismisses. The Business Manager seems to have an impor- tant engagement up near Glendive about that time, and the Editor-in-Chief-well, we believe he is thinking of going to Columbia Beach, Ore., there to recover from the effects of the most grievous error of his life-the editing of the 1914 Poly. Take no thought of the writer, for all its carefully planned for his safe conduct through the danger' zone.

Suddenly there was a Hash of lightning, followed by a terrific peal of thun- der and immediately the clouds disappeared. A seeming calm reigned upon the earth, but it was soon found that the dog had an object treed out behind the barn. The object proved to be a man-a being which had never been seen in that locality before. Mother Hubbard, Mother Goose and the dog immediately formed a triumvirate and decided upon a course of action. They gave chase and succeeded in hitting the object over the head with the business end of a mop, and thus, at once, became masters of the situation. The triumvirate called itself the Suffragette Party and took Mother Goose as its symbol. Down through the ages the party has maintained its own, even though man, born of thunder. has been trying to raise the same ever since. -144- S ih- .THE POLY What the State of Polytechnic needs is that party in power which at all times will be cock of the roost.
