KLINE, Registrar 2 FO R li WO R D We offer to you the 192-l Poly Annual. It differs in many respects from its prede- cessors. lVe planned some changes which we thought would result in a more com- plete record of the activities at the Billings Polytechnic Institute. lt has been our aim in the pages to follow to present a permanent record of the activi- ties of the student body, and to summarize briefly the outstanding accomplishments of the past few months. ln order to have this annual completed by the first of May and to complete all business matters pertaining to it, we did not attempt to make the record of spring activities complete. YVe present this history of our school life with the belief that it will reflect, through- out as truly as possible, the ideals and the indefinable spirit that has prevailed in this institution since its foundation. 1 lJl+2Dli11x'lX1ON 'l'11 'IMI' Tfvllll, ,K1,'I1't' 1111 1-Ulfflflflfiofl of 11115 111,xl1111111111 111111 fv1'111'1'11 111s S1II1'l'I'11j' 111111 f11'1'11111111'111'1, -14'1111.x1' 111111111 1'1x1f111, 11111111111 11'111'1' f1111! 11l11'vf11!1H!f 'ilyivfffllfl hflfyl' .QFIOAYVIDI1 1111 11 1111111 11111'11111 111 Nlllllhl' 11411115 I1IH'11lQ its life 111,x1111j1', '71'11!'1I 1111 .W11ly1't'3A 11-1 1111 1ll.S'f1fIlf101I 11111111 111 1111 111111111114-f--Y---111 11 lllllll 11111111111 111111 JIR. 1,.

The place of the modern college graduate, in all fields of constructive endeavor, is itself enough argument for an extended education. In political, scientific, religious and educational fields the college man holds the place of leadership. The Billings Polytechnic Institute aims primarily to' give a sound academic training for young people of worth and merit. lnithis training are included both cultural and vocational courses comprising a well-rounded curriculum. In order to further the academy work the school offers courses of Junior College grades, namely the first two years of college or university. Here again, both vocational and liberal arts courses are offered in order to preserve a well-balanced course of study for stu- dents enrolled. This year the Department has materially increased its enrollment and has become very successful. Because of their prestige in scholastic attainments, the college students have been leaders in all campus activities including studies, athletics, glee club, literary, societies, dramatics and other lines. By their fine leadership they have set an example to the Polytechnic community and have proved their social utilitV.l' Realizing the need of a more distinct department for the college as differentiated from the academy, Dean L. R. Foote and Mr. J. H. Gaiser, Dean of the College De- partment, drew up a set of rules and regulations for college students. These rules conform to regular college and university standards. The courses offered in the Liberal Arts include English, History, Sociology, Economics, Psychology, Chemistry and Mathematics, all handled by competent in- structors. Miss Bert Dove has charge of the Freshman English course in Composition and Rhetoric. Miss Grace C. Filkins has second year College English in Composition and Literary Types. Mr. E. B. Crone teaches the College Chemistry while Dean Foote has a cfass in College Mathematics. The History courses for Freshmen include General English, and lVIodern European Political History. The Sociology for Sophomores takes up General Social problems, Social Psychology and Social Control. These courses are taught by Mr. Gaiser. Mr. Lyons has a full year course in College Psychology. Miss Ruth Finnicum gives College Spanish and French. The courses offered in High School Teacher Training by Miss Grace Filkins may also be taken by academy graduates. This comprises the strictly Liberal Arts courses. 20 H ilnjl E Q ? i 1. x 4 Mr. Hill, head of the Commercial Department, offers the following courses: two years work in Accountancy and Business Administration, Business Law, General Economics, Industrial History, and Salesmanship. f The College Engineering Department under Mr. Glenn West offers courses of both an academic and college grade. The Pre-Engineering course includes Ele- mentary Electricity, Advanced Electrical Theory and a Practical Course in Wiring. The second year offers Radio Telegraphy, Continental Code and Commercial Operat- ing, Alternating Current lVIachinery and Direct Current Design. 'Phe work of the College Department this year has been very successful. The two needs for future development are an increase in students in the various courses and an enrichment of the courses, especially in the Liberal Arts curriculum. The technical and vocational departments have gone far in both equipment and member- ship. Leadership in the highest sense, however, can be developed only with a broad, cultural background. Experts in our present-day age of specialization realize this only too well. The extension of this year's policy of emphasis on the Liberal Arts courses of the Polytechnic is undoubtedly a step in the right direction. 21 Chilcoff 1 in 5 Price George ,gn Gladdcn Place Crissman 4 Standell Clark E35 M E?

The courses in the -Iunior College are both liberal arts and pre-professional. The courses in the Vocational department are Agri- culture, Auto Xlechanics, Business, Domestic Science, Electricity, Teacher Training, lVoodwork, Grade Continuation, and Xlusic Cyoice and instrumentalj. The courses in the high school are English, Klathematics, History, Science, Language, and Bible. The high school department is accredited by the North Central Asso- ciation of College and Secondary Schools. This is the accrediting body for twenty of the north central states. Each candidate for graduation from the high school department will present three or four units in English, a major of three units, two minors of two units each and one minor of one unit from mathematics, science, history, language with elections from these courses and from the courses of the vocational department, sufficient to make a minimum of sixteen units, provided no more than fiye of the sixteen units are from the courses in the vocational department. The English course is two years of elementary composition and rhetoric, two years of literature, one of English and the other of American, and one-half unit in public speaking. The science course offers one-llalf year each of physiography and elementary geology, one year of biology, Ca study of plant life, animal life, and human lifej, one year of physics. and one year of chemistry. The history course offers three years of work, one in world history, one-half each in American history, American goyernment, economics and sociology. The subjects of the mathematics course are: elementary algebra, plane geometry, one-half year each in advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry. Three languages are taught: Latin, French and Spanish, each for two years. The conyersational method is used in the teaching of the Romance language. Each student who is a candidate for graduation from the academy must present a half unit of credit in Bible. It may be studied in the senior year twice each week or once a week for two years in the freshman, sophomore or junior years. Graduates of the high school department are admitted to all colleges on equal footing with the graduates of the public high schools. 30 fa ae! 1 1. 4 g 4 3?

Youlll notice, upon reading farther, that no such remark is made in this article. However, I shall not refrain from acknowledging that this class, the Senior Class of ,ZS of Poly- technic, cannot be beaten. Although l am one of the Class l find it necessary to brush modesty aside and just for one reason----to ri-ll you that we are a pleasant, bright, and hard-working group. Hard-working is right. No other group of hopefuls has ever been more am- bitious, although our ambitions range from traveling in side door pullmans to traveling in high class motor cars. NVe have within our ranks those accomplished in singing, reading, dancing, reciting, performing, and various other sorts of entertaining all of which go to make life worth while. lVe can boast of preachers and prize fighters and every vocation that enters between these widely separated occupations. lt is well enough to say, while l am making trifling remarks, that we also have a future president of the United States. lt will also be difficult for corrupt politicians to keep several of our number out of the Senate. After reading this far you will no doubt wonder how the twenty-three that make up this group of VViser Uwlsu and number A 1 scholars got together. Alfred Bartz registered at Poly in lfllb. He has not been attending school regularly. Ethel Kuhl blew in in IQQO. lfl2l marked the coming of jesse Bequette and Anna Hansen. Grace Robbins, Rhea Kline, and Howard Gardner were Wel- comed to Poly in 1922. Alice Giddings, lVilliam Keefer, Guy Cole, Leonard Long- acre, Clarence -lohnson, and Fred Storms were new members of 'LPoly in 1923. Three boys, Fred Boynton, Jack Vickery, and VVallace Rheberg announced themselves at Poly in 192-l. This group was greatly strengthened by the addition of David Hawbaker, My'ra Shaw, Phyllis johnson, Loretta Page, Otto Stansvad, Mrs. Ober- lander, and Jennie Peroe in this good year of 1025. Surely we are a fine group of high type seniors. VVe came and stuck and now We are repaid. VVe have been pounced upon or threatened day' and night. Much have we suffered, and wondered at, in the hardships of getting an education. This is a collective history' of the Senior Class' of '25, But from now on each member writes his own history. VVhether it contains stories of discovery, of adven- ture, of invention, of learning, or nog if it contains the record of ones service faithfully performed, it is worth the writing and reading. 38 I S 0 3? '1 l. .l 11 1 ' I Senior Class Pro hecy One cold. biusrery evening in February, 1 was sitting before the fireplace in my big rocker. reading one of the latest books on the subject of Psychology. There was a blizzard raging outside and the wind, howling around the house. produced a rather weird atmosphere. Having read for perhaps an hour, I became weary of that pastime and. as a person will often do. I let the book drop into my lap unconciously and gazed at the red coals of the fire. As I watched them they seemed to have a quiet, peaceful influence over me. How queer I felt and what odd scenes were there in the firel It seemed as though I could see now the hurry and scurry of a busy city street, then the quiet and calm of a country lane on a beautiful clear day in June, then a roaring and tumbling stream up in some majestic mountain, then the flurries of snow of a terrible blizzard. And so the different pictures flitted past before my eyes. Ahl There was a picture that I had seen before. I saw an old familiar line of cliffs which reminded me very much of the school in which I graduated from High School. It Was the Rimrocks. Blany were the happy memories which this scene called forth. I could see the old reservoir. the Eagles Nest and even the steps which had, at some time in the history of the Polytechnic Institute, been cut into the rocks as a means of getting up onto the bluffs. I Slowly. but surely. I saw a form emerge out of this scene. It came and stood before me. A queer looking thing it was. It had a funny little pointed cap on and wore on its face the queerest expression imaginable. It was an expression of humor and seriousness mixed, if such an one could be. Suddenly I was aware that it Was speaking to me. It said. 'II am one of Father Time's spirits. I go around from place to place and tell people all the pleasant things they Want to know. Yesterday you were thinking about how fast the time had gone since you were in High School and I knew you would like to hear about what the other members of the class of 1925 are doing. I nodded. I was afraid to speak for fear the spirit would disappear and I did want to hear about my old classmatesl Soon it continued, I suppose you remember your old classmate, Grace Robbins, who used to have great skill in painting. She is teaching in a great university in China. She is charge of the art department and is very much interested in her work. Yes, I remember that she used to talk of teaching art but I never dreamed that she would go to China, I said. The spirit went on, Let me see. Uh yesl I remember. Page-Loretta Page was her name. Vliwas funny about her. People all thought that she would marry the class sponsor. Blr. Lyons, but she didn't. She went on studying music for several years and is now an instructor in one of our eastern colleges. But where is Klr. Lyons ?i' I asked. 'fHe is the president of one of our great Agricultural colleges now. He has 39 f , o 2 - . - : - - J r E .E :v : 'xx jx a beautiful home and a wonderful 'wife and once when l was passing his house I heard children's voices at play. Fred Storms is now owner and manager of the F. Storms lVholesale Co. which has its headquarters in Billings, lVIontana. He deals in every kind of fruit, including cackleberries and sugar-plums. He has branch houses all over the Northwest. Myra Shaw has had quite an exciting life. She has been married three times and now has settled down with a cranberry merchant in lshka- wanie, Tennessee. She seems to be getting along fairly well. There was a smile playing around the spirit's face now. Alice Giddings, your old chum, is doing exactly what she used to wish she could do, teaching school. She likes her work and hopes there will always be a rural school in which she can teach. Jesse Bequette, the fellow who used to boost Poly so heartily and who was never beaten, has settled down to farming, after having taken a course in Agriculture at Bozeman, llontana. Since Jesse has begun farming he has attained great success He is especially interested in livestock. The book you have on your lap was written by XVilliam Reefer, the very same Keefer who was in your class. He became very much interested in the study of Psychology, after having studied under Miss lfilkins. However, that is merely a side line. His real business is practicing law in Alhany, New York. Keefer is steadily climbing and it is hard to tell what he will do. There was a slight pause during which time the spirit seemed to be trying to recollect something. Then it said, I believe Rhea Kline was the name of the girl who used to be postmistress. She is now coming into prominence as one of the greatest singers ever known. But wait. It seems as though she was married once. Yes! l remember now. She did marry, soon after graduating, a Mr. Blames Thomp- son of the Freshman College class, but in a few years, because of a dispute over whether a man should be privileged to curl his hair or not, Rhea applied for a divorce which was granted her. She is now devoting her whole time to music. Jennie Peroe, who used to play in the Poly orchestra and also used to like painting so well, is now enjoying great success with an ostrich farm in Australia. Her artistic qualities are manifested in many instances around the farm. For instance, she uses ostrich feathers to decorate her fences and gardens. She found a paying way to make use of her musical ability too, for she trains a troup of ostriches to dance to music, and each year sells them to various circus companies for no small sums. Ctto Stansvad tried farming but did not like it. Now he is the proprietor of a large hotel in the East. Strange to say, he has developed such a liking for dancing that he conducts private dancing lessons as a side line. Longacre, the Senior shiek is another who has found great inspiration in this field. He has taken lessons from the great Russian dancer, Nladame Pavlowa, and has become very prominent as a ballet dancer. Rheberg, after leaving Polytechnic, went to Yale to study languages. He is now professor of lan- guages in Harvard University. David Hawbaker is now Editor-in-Chief of the Tooner- ville Daily of Toonerville, Kansas. He and Vaye find their quiet country life to be very enjoyable. Ethel Kuhl followed the teaching profession for a few years and now has become the wife of Rev. Raymond Lund, D. D., who travels in foreign mission fields. Alfred Bartz is now practicing law in Los Angeles. He had many difficulties when he started but now he is one of the city's most successful lawyers. He makes a specialty of divorce cases. 40 i 3? M141 Q s Everyone wondered what Clarence Johnson was coming to, for a while after he graduated, for he was so very reckless. He had the world beat for spending money and the first year after he left school he completely smashed ten cars. Finally, however, he did decide that lylr. Hill's business training was well worth using so he set to work. He is now business manager of the Great Western Sugar Co. of Billings, Montana. Jack Vickery is working in an electrical plant in Honolulu. In his spare moments he is working on an electrical apparatus for protecting watermelon patches from thieves. For a year or two, Howard Gardner found a place for himself, as clown, in Holly- wood. After traveling with a circus it has been said that he can produce more laughs from an audience than any other movie actor known. He is now starring in Hardships of Husbands, a late production by Anna Hansen. Guy Cole was one of your electri- cians, I believe. He has proven himself to be one of the greatest inventors the world has ever known. Last year he patented an electrical device for discovering whether or not a person is in love, how deeply. and who the recipient of the malady is. He de- serves unbounded credit for giving this wonderful discovery to the world for there are countless numbers who fall in love, hate to admit it, and alas! suffer the full duration of the disease. Perhaps their whole life is ruined! Now if an individual begins to act rather queer, seems despondent and is going to the dogs, so to speak, a test may be made with this device, the product of Cole's ingenious mind. The reason, which is invariably love. is made known by listlessness and despondency. The other person is made known and then may come the blissful work of bringing the two together to an ideal life of happiness ever after. Mrs. Oberlander has become Super- intendent of Schools in Alaska. For several years after leaving Poly she taught in the primary grades in New York. Fred Boynton never used to say very much but he hasegreatly changed. He has become a great lecturer on the subject of Education, Lastsummer he was engaged in delivering a series of lectures on Better Education For Guinea Pigs. He is advocating compulsory education between the ages of three months and ten years. He says they can easily be induced to go farther if the correct methods of teaching are used in the special Guinea Pig Schools. If you ever happen to go to Rochester, Minnesota, you will find there, in the great establishment which was instituted by the famous Mayo Brothers, a very dignified and conscientious nurse who you will recognize as your old friend, Phyllis Johnson. She no longer Wears a shiek bob and her ways have changed as radically as the style of her hair. The Sprite stopped now, for it had told me about the Whole class, and waited for me to comment. I asked, VVhat has become of the Polytechnic. He said, The Polytechnic has developed into a great vocational school with accomodations for twelve hundred students or more. The courses which are given there are along the same lines as before but are on a much larger scale. The Sprite disappeared into the fire again. I heard the clock, striking. It was one o'clock and here I had been sitting all this time. I arose with a start for I re- membered, suddenly, that I must get up early in order to get Geraldine ready for a school program to be given in the afternoon. ANNA C. HANSEN 41 5' W EE? 3?

The Polytechnic Church Very early in the history of the Polytechnic, steps were taken to organize a church. This movement was started in Mr. L. T. Eaton's private office, when five boys met to plan ways and means of making their lives count for the most among their fellow students. That was one week after the school was in its permanent home. In a few days they had another meeting, and each boy brought another boy with him. These ten boys pledged themselves to use their influence to help other boys to take a definite stand as Christians. The movement spread among the girls, and within a week there were over forty boys and girls asking to be organized into a church. The Superintendent of Congregational Churches, Rev. G. Powell, was called on for advice. He informed the boys that on March 14, Dr. Hubert Herring, then the General Secretary of all the Congregational Churches of America, would be in Billings, and that he would organize at the Polytechnic a student church. Nlarch l-l, 1910, was a great day at the Polytechnic. At that time fifty-two students and teachers united in forming the Polytechnic Church. The creed is a simple one. lt is so broad in its principles that it can take into fellowship anyone who be- lieves in God, the Father, Christ, the Song and the Brotherhood of Man. For the past three years it has had for its pastor, Rev. Raymond B. Walker, who is also pastor of the First Congregational Church, Billings, Montana. Each year a large percentage of the student body have entered into the fellowship, and its in- fluence, doubtless, has been more far-reaching than that of any other church in Mon- tana. The entire membership during these fifteen years has aggregated over one thousand. and they are today taking high places on both sides of the world. 51 Lou ee League It was lWr. Lougee's wish that the students form a religious organization several years ago. Nlr. lfaton, with the aid of Clarence Schrupp, who was here at that time, and a few other students started the organization in the spring of 1921 and named it the Lougee League in honor of lVIrs. Ella Lougee after her tragic death by fire. This organization is a student movement and is managed by the students under the supervision of a faculty member. Its aim is to institute higher Christian ideals and to exert a truly Christian influence on the people of the campus. Within the organi- zation are three committees: helpfulness, friendliness, and prayerfulness. The names signify the purpose of the League. Students have derived a great benefit from expressing themselves on religious topics at the meetings which are held every Sunday evening. By having a different leaderevery eveningg valuable lessons are received leadership well as in the art of expressing one's self in publicf ' ' ' T The first years of the organization were rather trying and often-times the perseverance of a few is all that kept the League going. Now it is firmly established and the meetings are well attended. A large number of the members attend regularly. Not only the members but the entire student-body and faculty are willing to help in the work whenever the necessity arises. This year the League did much toward, get- ting new song books for the Chapel services. Whenever the need arises the League is ready to help and it strives to be of service by being helpful, friendly, and prayerful, 52 -4.1. ------i.

The Polytechnic Commercial Department offers great opportunities for both High School and College students. lt has grown rapidly in the last few years. in fact, the enrollment has increased eighty-two per cent in the past three years, and the scope of the work offered has been greatly enlarged. 55 ? A' ' be saga sa ln the Academic Department, pupils may take Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Type- writing, Commercial Arithmetic, Business English, Penmanship, Business Law, and preparation for Civil Service. The College subjects offered are, a course in Secretarial Training, Business Law, General Economics, Business Economics, Industrial History, Salesmanship, and a two years' course in Accounting and Business Administration. ln this department students take practical training under the most competent instructors, which fits them to go out into the Business World. The courses are planned so that the work done is as nearly as possible like that which will have to he done in a regular office. The typewriting room is a very busy place. The machines are clicking from eight in the morning until after the usual school hours which shows the great interest students take in the work. Typewriting is taught by the use of rhythmic records which reduces the drudgery in this phase of the commercial work. ln the Bookkeeping and Accounting department there are Wholesale, Commission House, Freight Qffice, Bank, and Real Estate Qffices in which the students do the work that is called for in the different positions. The bookkeeper gets practical training in buying and selling at the daily market prices as well as keeping accounts of these transactions so that he is trained to use good judgment in the transaction of business for a profit, the same as he would if he were the owner or manager of a firm. The accountants get auditing practice by going over the work of bookkeepers who have made mistakes, and detect these. This is a very good plan for it trains them to find, not only the errors of others, but makes them more accurate in their own work. ln Shorthand the requirements are: one hundred twenty-five words per minute on new material, for one credit, and one hundred fifty for two credits. A student can easily make two credits in one year by taking two class periods of Shorthand a day. There are now three Dalton adding machines in use, on which the students are taught the touch method of adding. Several have won certificates and gold pins in the local tests, and it is hoped that the Polytechnic will be able to enter a few contestants in the National Adding Machine Test which will be held some time this year. After a student has had enough training to be competent he may get further training in the Business Administrative offices of the school by doing general office work and helping to send out advertising matter. This is not only good training, but it gives the student confidence in his ability to do office work, which is often lacking in a person who has never had the real responsibility of seeing that the work done is in good enough condition to go out in the mail. The student in reality enters the business world when he enrolls in this Commer- cial Department, because when he leaves school it is more like changing from one employer to another than getting his first job. 56 ? i' Ei A Eng? 5 STENOGRAPHIC STUDENTS Special Class The special student group includes those who have taken advantage of the open door of the Polytechnic lnstitute but did not identify themselves with regular classes.

FILKINS, Herld of Department For some years there was a teacher training course given in Polytechnic lnstitute, From this were graduated teachers who helped to make a good record for the school over the state. Then came the period of financial depression in Montana, and 'ex- penses were curtailed in every way possihle. In this school teacher training was dis- continued. ln the fall of 1924 it was reinstated under the direction of Miss Grace Filkins of Teachers' College, Colorado. ln strict accordance with the regulations of the State Superintendent of Puhlic Instruction, a two years' course was instituted and eight young people presented themselves for enrollment. Three of these had hecome interested in the teaching profession hecause of their contact with its theory in the class in pedagogy, or educational psychology. The situation here offers a splendid chance for ohservation and practice. Just off the campus is a two-room rural school, which is rated hy the county superintendentias the best of its kind in Yellowstone county. Two teachers are in charge. Both, are 58 5 3 E so X ci Eiii ta as 3? scientificially trained: both are in sympathy with systematic training for teachers. No end of valuable information is gained from these experienced teachers everyday. ln addition to the classroom work the playground and school premises offer ex- cellent opportunity to investigate problems of genuine rural school conditions. Activi- ties characteristic of the spring season are now in full operation and the girls are learning to manage field meet, and Arbor Day program to say nothing of the ordinary playground games and playground equipment. At this time five young women are completing studies and practice teaching, preparatory to taking teachers' examinations which will be given early in May at lNIasonic Temple, in Billings. By special dispensation for one year only our school was granted the privilege of offering a condensed course to be completed with the examinations. Having covered practically two years' work in one, it is needless to say that all concerned have worked with a will. Since no one may keep his place in the department with an average grade below 80, it has required heavy outside reading and much outlining to cover the required field. As yet the department is confined to fitting teachers for rural positions only, but in the near future we hope to offer a course that will rank with other normal schools in preparing instructors for secondary schools and administrative positions as well. Our instructor. Bliss Grace C. Filkins, has had much valuable experience in practically all lines of teaching, but. Scientific theory must keep apace with prac- tice, is her slogan. and so by precept and examples she advocates continuous study for higher degrees. Much credit is due her for her untiring efforts to make the depart- ment professionally sound and progressive.

E. WEST, Hl'dd of Department In this great Northwest where we have water power of untold ,magnitude still undeveloped, and hundreds of other engineering projects still in their' infancy,'the science of electricity is of special interest and vital importance. iThe field of electrical engineering offers untold opportunities and possibilities for the thoroughly trained engineer, not the merely practical man or the undertrained but the man who is thor- oughly trained in this branch of work. It is this course which is one of the chief drawing cards of the Polytechnic. It attracts more boys than any other course and it is certainly capable of turning out the kind of men who will be in greater demand as the years go by. The credit for this great work goes to lklr. Glenn E. West who has done his share over and over in making this department what it is today. Through his untiring efforts during the past five years, the Electrical Engineering Department of the Poly has developed to a point where it is attracting more than statewide attention. The electrical engineering course at the Polytechnic covers five years work and is combined with the regular academic work. A student may take up engineering along with his high school work, completing the required high school work and at the same time graduating from the engineering course. 60 5' ix E Q EEE 1 The credits received in engineering count toward the regular high school diploma. In this way one or two years time can he saved in completing the regular course for a degree in engineering. - For those who have completed the high school work, the engineering work is so arranged that by putting in double time the complete course may be covered in two years. The regular Junior college course in engineering is recommended to such students. For the young man who wishes to become a practical electrician without spending four or five years in the regular course, the vocational course in practical electricity is suggested. ln this the necessary theory is taught but the main work is practical experience in light and power wiring, battery work, and other electrical work. By devoting twice the regular time to it, this course can be completed in one year, making it possible for a man to take up his chosen profession after one year-of study and preparation. - r . The third year of the course is devoted entirely to radio, telegraphy and telephony. This important and fascinating phase of engineering has developed so fast during the past year or two that it is impossible to prophesy what will come next. The radio fever has spread over the country like wildfire. lXIany thousands of people are en- gaged in this business of manufacturing .and merchandising of radio sets and accessories. This new industry opens up a new' field for engineers who have training and experience along this line. ' J The work in radio is divided into threeupartslqtheory, code practice, and practical experiments. A modern text book is used as a basis for the study of theory and all of the underlying principles are thoroughly covered. NA short course in vacuum tubes is introduced early inthe year., i A i ' ii ii A In the code class, the student is taught to senduand receive at a speed of from twelve to twentywords per milnutein Continental Morse. A A A ' I In addition to the study of theory and code, practical experience is givenngin build- ing radio apparatus and operating a modern radio transmitter. Opportunity is given to those who are proficientiin code, to operate the Poly radio telegraph stationgand thus acquire practical? experience in handling messages. During the past year the Poly radio station. has established many new records. Directcommunication was established With ,amateur stations in practically all parts of the United States and Canada. Signals from the Poly station were heard in all 'states of the union, in every province of Canada, and in the following countries: Alaska, Mexico. Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Panama and England. Stations from all over the United States and Canada are heard regularly. The reception of signals from British station QZKF located in London, England, is the best receiving record today. The fourth year of the work is devoted to study of alternating currents and alter- nating current machinery with auxiliary instruction in the use of the slide rule. It is, however, of utmost importance in the handling of A. C. machinery, especially since practically all electricity used is A.

This year deals entirely with designing of electrical machinery, giving the student a much clearer idea of the construction of the apparatus he has been using and studying. The student has to do the complete work of designing a D. C. generator, working out all the specifications and data, also making all the drawings and blue prints necessary. VVhile the electrical course is considered of academic grade, still the work covered is essentially the same as that given in the first two years work of most engineering colleges. Credit for the different subjects can be used for entrance requirements at most colleges or as advance credit in freshman and sophomore work. There is no limit to what the future may bring to this department. Certainly it will grow and expand as the years go on developing into a nationally reputed school in this line. VVe have great hope for this and now may only wait to see it materialize. griculture L. LYONS, Head of rlyriculture Department Farming and stockraising is one of the fundamental industries in Montana and adjoining states. Vast agricultural resources have not been developed, and great opportunities are awaiting young men who are trained for agricultural work. Suc- cess in modern farming and stockraising requires a systematic and thorough training. A course in agriculture at the Polytechnic is a short cut to success iniany agricultural pursuit. A student will acquire what usually requires several years of costly ex- periences, Successes, failures and discouragements. We realize that practical ex- perience is absolutely essential to an agricultural education. Students have the oppor- tunity of obtaining this experience on the Polytechnic Farm which is operated on a commercial and paying basis, and at the same time study the scientific principles which are the basis of all farm operations. It is the aim of the agricultural department to give the student a well balanced, practical education and in addition prepare him for the various agricultural pursuits. 62 AEHIEU TU si if-n--mg E SW? f MK VQEEIX4 -all 'Allan wht?

'lihese four branches are Orchestra, Public School Music, Piano and Glee Club. 'lihe Orchestra, in spite of the fact that it was started late. consists of about twenty pieces and is developed to a high grade of efficiency. 'lihe Orchestra is a decided advantage to the school and is also a valuable means by which students can get much good training. 'llhe Public School Klusic class is one in which the fundamentals of music are taught. thus presenting an opportunity for elementary as well as advanced training. 'lihere are seventeen students of the Piano division, many of whom are ac- complished players. 'lioo much credit cannot be given llflr. Orvis. Coming to the Polytechnic during the latter part of the year '23-'Z-l, he has brought into actuality' a real live music department. He started with only five piano students. There is much that can be said of him aside from his good work. His smile and helpful attitude toward all his students have become a part of the Losekamp Conservatory as much as the East Room or the Auditorium. A writeup of this nature would hardly be complete without bringing attention to our excellent conservatory of music. It is a wonderful opportunity' to he able to take advantage of the expensive equipment and elegant Losekamp building. 64 i Q Q? .1 3 1 4 g J CJR.

Several members of the orchestra are taking their first year of music. We were fortunate in having thorn: who have had considerable experience in the work. In spite of the late start, the orchestra, through the perseverence of its faithful. members, is showing real talent and is deserving of mention in these few words. Our orchestra is small and may lack several instruments, however, this is the nucleus around which we expect to develop a larger and more complete orchestra next year. Xve feel indebted to Hlr.

ARCHER, Head of Jute-Tractor Department 1 During the past year this department has enjoyed a steady increase in both equip- ment and students. This year three courses were offered, of three, five, and eighteen months, respectively. Plans are being made to give any length of course desired, be- ginning with next year. A complete oxy-acetylene Welding outfit, battery ofver-hauling equipment, and 'a rotary aeroplane engine were added to the equipment this year. The shop is run on a practical basis, affording the students a large amount of experience on actual repair work. All earnings of the department are put into additional equipment. Gasoline and kersoene tractors are used as much as possible on the farm, thus affording the students an opportunity to get valuable experience in the actual opera- tion of several different makes. Students in the department are awarded certificates in accordance with the work which they have covered. 66 f. , x,' .nf k-. . v-' v ., , uv- -.. ,--- , ' : . K ffl --'-.

J FA A ' T Q as 3? risto-Pioneers In 1919 the men students of the Polytechnic considered the formation of a liter- ary society. There was unanimous decision in favor of such, but a conflict arose when a name was to be chosen for such a society. The name Pioneers won the vote and became the name. The name Pioneers at once brings to mind a meaning-whether it is in the wilds of the YVest or what-not. lVith this ideal in mind-to blaze a trail-the boys organized themselves for work in the society which would train them for leaders in the way of public speaking and action. Some time later the girls organized and called their club the Aristo Literary Society. This was the sister society of the Pioneers. These two orders were in- dividual institutions until 1022 when they united as one, called the Aristo-Pioneer Literary Society. A new constitution was then made which the society is now work- ing under. The Aristo-Pioneer Society pledges itself to standards Loyalty, Truth, Honor, Integrity and Kindness. The purpose of this society is to promote Learning, Leader- ship, Culture, Usefulness and Friendship. The first meeting of the season was held shortly after the opening of school. The new officers began their duties willingly and faithfully. At various times during the year the Aristo-Pioneers have entertained the stu- dent body in social events, and with programs, besides holding the regular secret meetings every week when other occasions did not interfere. All meetings were held in the chapel and consisted of interesting literary programs composed of readings, music. current topics and jokes. All members have taken active part and endeavored to uphold the ideals of the society. The big event for the opening of the career for the A. P. society for this school year was October 22nd, exactly one month after the opening of school, with what is known as Rush Day. Forty-five students were tagged and later were accepted as full-fledged members of the society. The first public program of the season was given October 10th, as a welcome. The program. given January 23rd was the opening program for the new year. The main feature of this entertainment was the Kangaroo Court, with the impersonations of the student body at the Kline residence. The Annual Nlask-Hall was given in the gymnasium November 22nd. A good time was enjoyed by all and prizes were awarded for the costumes that best represented the occasion. The St. Patricks Day dance was held the 20th of March, in the gymnasium. There was a good time for all in the side show tents. Our accomplishments have gradually improved during the brief existence of the society. We are confident that we can still advance, so next year we shall come back and work more earnestly in the interest of developing a bigger, better society. '69 -M I n Flower-Bitter Root.

This is the chief characteristic of our ambitions, our hopes and our accomplishments. The Eagle Literary Society is an organization composed of young men united in purpose to promote all phases of literary activity, in order to give training to its members who will return to become leaders in their respective communities. This society was founded almost simultaneously with the birth of the Poly- technic. It is governed by a unique constitution and by-laws. The officers are elected from its membership at the beginning of each semester. Its sister organization, the Alpha Literary Society, is formed as an independent society governed by its own constitution and by-laws. Their officers are also elected semi-annually. A 3? T 7 Q. This plan of organization of the Alpha-Eagle Literary Societies is unequalled. Qrganized as two independent orders instead of as one, many advantages and opportun- ities are offered to their constituency. The two societies meet together regularly when desired, thus in harmony and in unison, though often in competition, literary work is promoted within their confines. They have kept pace with Poly's progressl 'lihey have been faithful and loyal, last and always to our school and to our society. Thus we might go on for ages recounting the accomplishments of our society, but other annuals have given you the history of other years, and we are concerned chiefly with the history of this year. . The Eagles made their first entry in the social diary of the year 'Z-l-'25 by giving their animal wienie roast on the rimrocks soon after school began. About a month later, thirty new members were initiated, and the society was ready to take up seriously the work of fostering literary activities. Regular meetings were scheduled for every Friday night at which business and social needs were taken care of, and many literary programs were given. Our list of public entertainments includes the Annual Hallowe'en Ball and the Annual Hard-'l'imes Ball, besides two public programs which are among the biggest social events of the year. The first public program given on December 6, 192-l, consisted of readings, dialogues, music, a pantomime and a play called School Days which was the main feature of the program. The success of this entertainment as well as others may be attributed to the support given by each member whether or not he had a part in the program. Upward and Onward soars the lordly Eagle, and having this our insignia, ever in mind, we are doing bigger and better things every year, with the best interests of the Polytechnic always at heart. lVe close this year of great accomplishment with a ardor for our society which can never be chilled. Our banner inscribed with the motto Aut Nlori, Aut Vinceref' f 'l'o Conquer, or to Uienj to es will forever be an inspiration. .ILPHJ LITERARY SOCIICTY The Alpha Literary Society was organized in the early days of the Polytechnic. It has been our purpose to remain a separate and a distinct girls' society because of the many advantages that such an organization offers. lVe helped our brother society, the lfagles, in giving the annual Hwieniei' roast on the rimrocks soon after school began. About a month later we initiated many new members into our society. VVe held our meetings on Friday nights. We have asssisted and worked in unison with the Eagles in giving public entertainments as well as giving several programs at the joint meetings of the two societies. Filled with an enthusiasm to demonstrate our ability as a separate organization, We gave a public program on February 27. lt consisted of several musical numbers, readings, and the dramatization of scenes from the play, As You'll Like lt. Our motto, Always loyal and truef' has been a source of inspiration in pro- moting the ideals of the society as well as those of the school. 72 3?

Over forty students took Glee Club training. The younger, inexperienced musicians, and students who took advantage of the short course, entered the club and were given special attention in this line of work. Out of this number there were tliose who qualified for the concert group. V in V In addition to furnishing music in Chapel, Vespers and special occasions, the Glee Club made several trips over the state. Both the Club and their director have appreciated the assistance given by Prof. J. H. Gaiser. Nlr. Gaiser is an experienced singer in Glee Club work, and was of great value the tenor section. ln addition to this he gave service in the quartet, and was an ever ready soloists The largest gift thevclub received this year was Miss Pages' assistance at the piano. She never failed them at either practice or concert. ' The actual time spent in practice and concert was one hundred and seventy-two hours, or twenty-one and a half eight hour days. ln order to succeed in chorus Worlc one must have musical talent and an endless amount of perserverence. i 73 53.5 S O E i? 1 - 1 - - 1 - : - 1 -. - S F - - - 2 ' 1- 1 1 1 I1 1 ' 1 l 1' T -1 5 5' PULYGRIIPH ST,'ll l POI.YCR.xl'H, Publixlzul Bi-Wfrfkly by tha' Przlyffvlzzziz' Sturlezlfs lfixsf .SI'n1iIlI'r STAFF Sffrond Semester HENRY DOUGLAS, TOM CEINN ....... .......

The .Ma Fete The spring festival has long been a celebratedoccasion. We find in our history that this has been an annual event since the time of King Arthur. On this day' people gathered together to see the crowning of the King and the Queen of the Mayf, and , i ii to have a good time. The May Fete is an annual event at 'the APoiytechnic. patterned after the ancient custom of celebrating the coming of spring. liachiyear the students elect a king and queen and with the American touches to the event have a very beautiful ceremony. I ' ' J ' ' The grand processional, the crowningiiof the king and queen together with the winding of the lWay pole are the main features of the program. g This year we shall celebrate the occasion about May' 16 and try to avoid the rains. 80 I x xx . - Q. . , I 1. .RI ,.I xxgx XXX IX I II II I X f f 7 . . , X . f ff xx.

E 5- E 4 E 1kx ij: Football--Season 1924 The lfootball Season of the Polytechnic lnstitute opened with the annual battle between the old and new students. Considerable interest had been shown by both players and student body before the big game. A parade of loyal New Students added a gala touch to the occasion. The burying in effigy of the Uld Students proved a true forecast of the game as the Old Students were submerged by a 17-0 score. This game started the real football season, a season rather unique in Poly football. XVith a squad of some thirty men reporting for practice regularly, Coach Lyons began a course of hard training for the grid aspirants. The handicaps were many, as much of the material was new, many of the men never having seen a football game before. But in spite of these and other adverse conditions the squad soon took on some sem- blance of a team. The first outside game was also one of the hardest. XVith the team just beginning to get into shape it met the strong Billings High team on Qctober 17. To make a long story short the Poly emerged at the less desirable end of a 47-6 score. This over- whelming defeat can be attributed to but one thing-lack of experience. Time and again during the game Poly players failed to take advantage of breaks in the play. Billings, on the other hand, put over three touchdowns on flukes, The next week put more football knowledge into the heads of the 'Poly team than any previous period. lVith the sting of defeat on the players they determined to beat the Columbus team the same week. This game, played on the Poly field, brought a 6-0 victory for the Poly team. Off sides on the part of the Poly players probably cost the team another touchdown or two. The game the next week was with hard hitting Bozeman Freshmen. -Poly entered the game with two sub half-backs and a sub left tackle. The Bobkittens re- sorted to drop kicks and completed 17 which was a world record. But the Bozeman game was not an entire failure for the beaten Poly team. Grit- ting their teeth the players went into the game against Columbus High. The game was played at Columbus on November 7th, Instead of a game it proved to be a track meet, with the Poly players doing all the running, Seven times they crossed Colum- bus' goal. These, together with goals after touchdowns and one drop kick by Bee- man, brought the count, 52-0 in Poly's favor. The disgruntled Columbus teami be- came victims of the Bozeman defeat. The last game of the season was the best. Bozeman sent her Freshmen to Billings, .November llth, in order to finish the job of completely annihilating the poor Poly team. They met the surprise of a life-time with our two regular half-backs and left tackle in the field. The team, still feeling the disgrace of the game at Bozeman, held the invaders to a 12-0 score. One of the two touchdowns was made on a fluke. Con- sidering the former game with Bozeman, the season's last battle was nothing short of a marvel. Another month's practice would have seen the Poly team strong con- 82 5' 3? 1 1 1 L T Q ' - , ... .: ad - , -1' 5121 . f 'fri X ii fig 5 Q X Ik, fm L :,Af,,?4 .U an !lH'l'!jvQqg, ' 3' A ' ,faq J- a,.:.ifz, QQ? .Q Q..

FIRS1' 'T-E.-XXI IN ACTION tenders against any of the better teams in the country. The game was a fitting climax to a not unsuccessful season. lluch credit is due Rlr. Lyons, football coach. With practically all new men to begin with, he trained a team that, by the end of the season, knew the science of the game, and was formidable in play. In this work he was given much valuable assistance by llr. Gaiser and Rlr. Crone. Nlr. Schaudies was of untold value to the team in his attention to their every medical and hygienic need. The football history of this season would be incomplete without a separate men- tion of each of the players. Such an estimate must necessarily be based on the per- formance of each player. Stuart VVilliams, commonly known as Red, because of his shaggy cranium protector, has the remarkable record of having played every minute of every game- Red's chief asset was line plunging. Head-down, he plunged through the opponents defense time and again for small but safe gains. The only part of his anatomy which seemed to suffer was his protective proboscis which was nearly always bloody. Red deserves the applause cf the Poly supporters. Bert Kronmiller, steady, dependable, and a scrapper every minute, made a name for himself on the team. He played just three minutes less than Red. On the position of right guard he held his opponents, ran interference and, in every way, showed his ability as an aggressive and versatile linesman. The team depended on Bert and he never failed them. The center position was entrusted to Forrest Chilcott, better known as Chilly,'y another man who could always be relied upon. both on defense and offense. His 83 i Q A EK passess to backfield men were accurate. The finest compliment for Chilly is that his usual stability of character was displayed on the foot-ball field. Norman Appley proved to be our dependable right tackle, and many times a swift hack was unsuccessful in dodging him. 'llhe interfering back generally met his XVaterloo if he. too, did not resort to rabbit play. Raymond Lund, regular left guard made the Bobkittens bounce when they struck that side of the line, and although he lacked speed, his ability for long blocking, when Bert was pulled out to our interference, was especially valuable. Henry Douglas served as general utility man in the line. He played various positions, center, guard, and tackle, and always displayed a great deal of fight. Paul Clark played the position of half-back and was especially adept at breaking up and intercepting forward passes. Stuart Beeman, also a back, played only in about three games, but enough to show his natural ability for the game. Both on offense and defense his playing showed much previous experience, and also explained his position on the all state high school team last year. Although jesse Bequette did not make a letter he showed his ability as a player in the tackle's position. Jesse received a severe injury to his knee in the first game last fall and managed to get into only a few quarters the rest of the season. This Was a pure case of bad luck. Alesse was one of the boys who surprised the Bobkittens. He was an all-state tackle two years ago. Clare Evey played a hard hitting game at quarter back. He could usually make substantial gains through the line. Cecil Frazier was at left end most of the season. He was hefty and speedy. In case of necessity Cecil played backfield position. Arthur Gladden was our other end. Opposing teams with clever quarter backs never tried a long end run more than once. Clayton Jensen played part of the time at left tackle and part at left guard and furnished some of the best football material the Poly had this season. Clayton was out most of the time with a broken collar bone, which he received in tackling practice. VValter Cox substituted for Bequette at right tackle and Longacre for Appley. Both displayed considerable fight when their chance came. As Bequette was out a large part of the season, Cox saw more service than did Longacre. Alfred Bartz substituted for Frazier. Donald Crosby, with his two-hundred and ten pounds of weight, made good off-tackle smashes and punts. Don was a sub for Clark part of the season. David Hawbaker, the speediest man on the team, did not finish the season be- cause of responsibilities in the print shop. Donald Price, who was noted for his grit, played only in two games due to responsibilities in the auto shop. Had he continued his training throughout the Season, Don undoubtedly would have been a star of the team. Stanley Cavill was a steady trainer and has all the possibilities of an outstanding football player for next year. At the beginning of the season, VVilliam Chamberlin, known as l'Bill, was one of the most popular players. The second game Bill received a fractured wrist.

Lyons accounts largely for the progress of the team. Start- ing the season with a squad of green players, he developed a team that beat Colum- bus 5-l--O and held the Bozeman Freshmen to a 12-0 score. This is an enviable record for any coach and Nlr. Lyons is given due credit both by the team and the Poly student body for reawakening a real interest, in football. With a fair nucleus of the squad next year a winning team could easily be predicted. ' The men receiving letters were the following: Stuart Williams, Henry Douglas, Arthur Gladden, Bert Kronmiller, Paul Clark, Clayton Jensen, Forrest Chilcott, Stuart Beeman. XValter Cox, Norman Appley, Clare Evey, Leonard Longacre, Ray- mond Lund, Cecil Frazier, Alfred Bartz. Yell leaders: Howard Gardner and Wallace Rheberg were awarded letters. By the Jilzfefif Crzbilzef Four men deserve honorable mention not only because of their regularity in train- ing but sportsmanlike conduct. VVhen the whistle blew these men were always on the field for practice. The Athletic Cabinet finds no criticism of these four men. Other members of the squad showed special ability and made good records but they' lacked the finish and stick-to-it-iveness that these four men displayed. Such men as these four, are the kind for whom coaches are looking. Possibly others would have been on this list had they not been unfortunately injured. These men are: Stewart Williams, Bert Kronmiller, Forrest Chilcott and Raymond Lund. 85 1 ,qw Z, ,,.. X I, . ' 1 :US 'W-my M . x f - ' .

Girls' Basketball Girls, athletics must be promoted by one ideal, that of love of the game, since interscholastic contests for girls are not encouraged by most of the authorities on sports for women. So it was that the girls' basketball practices, for such they may be called, were made possible because in a few of the Poly girls there was that love of the game and these few inspired other girls to turn out to play. Every Monday and Wed- nesday a group of twelve or thirteen, or sometimes it was fewer in number, was found on the floor ready for practice. The games were exciting and there was a great deal of skill shown at times, especially on the part of the forwards who were accurate and clever in shooting. Inspired by such an ideal as love for the game, as the basketball girls were, it is neces- sary that the results or gains be counted in abstract terms. There were no games to win, no letters to earn, no applause or fame to be merited, but the girls did gain a knowledge of the game, though small, a knowledge that will enable them to play with experienced players in future seasons. At least the girls had a few hours of good, clean, healthy sport. Last, but not least, the girls discovered a practical sportsman- ship which will go with them through life. It is hoped that Girls' Basketball in this school will develop and be a big feature in the program for next year. XV ,, , QTY. ' 'U , I gf-gf' y, ..-x.

Nlill' STI 'DENTS INITIJ TED All institutions have some form of initiation for Freshmen. The plan at the Polytechnic is somewhat different. First, we initiate all new students, regardless of their classification: secondly, we initiate in such a way as to make them feel at home. This was the plan of initiation we followed this year. a On the evening of Qctoher 3 all the new students were each in turn led through the mysterious activities that are featured in such programs.
