Title pages commemorative of the years since 1908 introduce the sections portraying the 1933 activities of the Institution. May they serve only to accentuate the memories inspired by the material in this book. If the results of our efforts should serve to bridge the chasm between us and the past and should awaken in the heart of each reader fond memories of old Poly days. our purpose will have been achieved. Dedication To the founders of the Billings Polytechnic Institute. Whose vision of a progressive institution of learn- ing, whose unswerving adherence to modern theories of education, whose refusal to bow to almost unconquer- able hardships, whose faith in the guidance and sustenance of the Great Silent Partner has made possible the achievements of this great institum tion, this 1933 POLY is gratefully dedicated.

Besides serving as an administration building, it houses several departments of the vocational and Junior College departments of the school. The Science Department occupies three rooms on the second floor, one of which is equipped with shutters to shut off sunlight when a dark room is needed. This room is also provided with sink and other physical equip- ment for the developing of pictures. In the main labora- tories, modern desks with individual drawers are found. These laboratories are equipped to supply the needs of high school and the first two years of college physics, chemistry, and biology. This building also serves as the recitation hall for the classes in English, Language, History and Social Science. On the ground floor, in ad- ' . Q or-sl Physics Laboratory dition to the business office, the Dean's and the Directors' offices, is located the Postoffice-at third class office with two mail deliveries a day. Here is located the little store where school supplies of all kinds may be bought for cash or on credit. In the basement are two self-financing de- partments, the Billings Letter Shop and the Polytechnic Print Shop. Within these two departments all the publicity work of the school is handled. All the bulletins, letterheads, catalogs and even the annual itself are printed in the Print Shop and folded in the Letter Shop. The Letter Shop is also equipped to do all kinds of copying. It has machines such as the mimeograph, multigraph, addressograph and graphotype.

The foundation was laid in 1909. In 1911 a superstructure was built to fulfil the needs for a place to hold physical education classes. In 1917, a maple floor was laid. In 1924 the building was veneered with stone on three sides. In 1931 work was started on the final completion of the building, but funds gave out and only the shower rooms could be put in. There remains only the plunge to be in- stalled before the building is completed. The Phvoifal Education department is the only department allowed tw use the building. The one exception to this rule is in the production of the Music Schools Light Upera each vear when a stage, equal in size to a full theatre stage, is built in the west end.

Prescott, Of New York, Who gave ten thousand dollars toward its erection. It was opened for use in the spring Of 1916. It was built almost entirely by student labor as are all Of the buildings Of the Polytechnic. The entire front. of the build- ing is one rooin which is used both as a dining hall and reception rooin. Here parties are held including the Onc dance each nionth, the Candlelight, Banquet. and Christmas Day dinners. and Thanksgiving niany Other such affairs. The kitchen is in the rear Of the dining hall. In the basement this year was started another new industry-the manufacture of breakfast food fOr the students and faculty. This new industry is working out very successfully. ,. 'WX Losekamp Memorial Building ONE or THE Mosr BEAYTIFUL and imposing build- ings of the Polytechnic campus is the Losekamp Memorial Hall-Conservatory of Music. It was completed in the spring of 1918 in honor of John D. Losekamp. its donor. At present the Conserva- tory is somewhat divided in its services. The Poly- technic Library has been temporarily established there and the daily devotional services are held in the recital hall. With the steady growth of the scope of study given at the Polytechnic. the base- ment has also been pressed into service as class- moms. The schools newest industry, bookbinding. is housed in the basement also. The lawns about the building are very beautiful. They contain a memorial stone in honor of Mr. Losekamp. ,.

In the basement are classrooms and laboratories for the Auto Shop and Machine Shop Where all repair Work on machinery is carried on at very little actual expense to the school. The heating plant which heats Science Hall. Kenney Hall, the Gymnasium and the Engineering Building itself, is located in the basement also. On the ground floor are located the Wood-Working and Cabinet Making departments. It is in these departments that all the furniture and Woodwork to equip all the buildings on the campus are made. The Wood Shop is equipped with several very ef- ficient machines, with which to do this sort of work. On the top floor is located the Engineering De- 1v..,,g f ff Q-is .W A X Machine Shop partment where radio and electricity are taught both by classroom lectures and by practical experi- ments in the electrical laboratory. In addition to serving as the home for the academic work mention- ed above. this building serves as headquarters for three of the major self-help departments ot' the ln- stitute. Here the student who is earning money for his school expenses learns also to master the funda- mental practical technique of painting, plumbing. and various types of engineering. He is enabled to discover his latent abilities and is also taught to adiust himself to the stern realities of a life vocation. Although the foundation of the buildiua was built in 1909 with the founding of the school. the last addition was not finished until 1932.

It was begun in 1917 but was not ready for use until 1921. Mr. Asa W. Kenney of Lakewood, New Jersey, contributed the largest sum for this building. In accord- ance with his wish, a part of the building was set aside as at Y.M.C.A. unit. In the basement is a reception room where many good times are enjoyed by the young people. The room contains a large stone fireplace, a bowling alley and two pool tables-recreation suggestions for leisure hours. The reading room on the first floor affords oppor- tunity for students to spend a few hours each evening reading the daily papers and late magazines. This year there was added to the dormitory library, a complete set of encyclopedias. The Polytechnic hospital is also located on the first floor of this dormitory. l d Tyler Hall THE NEYVEST BUILDING on the campus, Tyler Hall, was dedicated in 1930. Tyler Hall will accomodate fifty-five boys and a matron and house man in surroundings more ideal than in any other dormitory in the state. It is heated with a two-pipe steam heating system and on each floor there is a. central bath and toilet room with an additional shower room in the basement. There is also a locker room and adequate laundrying facilities. This spring a new washing machine was added to other equipment and the school began to do all its own laundry, including one sheet and one pillow case for each member of the student body. For the past two summers students and faculty have been continually working on the lawn about Tyler Hall, plant- ing trees and shrubbery, making walks and caring for the lawn. This spring a walk was laid to Prescott Commons.

The management of the farm takes pride in raising pure-bred hogs and cattle. The farm is used as an experimental station for raising certified seeds. The arrangement of the buildings and the evident care Which is taken in keeping the grounds clean and orderly give the farm a very pleasing appearance. The F arm pro- vides beef, pork, milk and eggs for the dining hall. It also furnishes grains for the manufacture of breakfast foods and flour in a newly launched industry. Besides providing a greater part of the staple foods used at the Polytechnic, it furnishes work for about one third of the boys working at WM ...A. ., , Poly Dairy Herd the school. The barn is very well equipped, having stanchions for twenty milch cows and a modern dairy equipment in connection. The silo is built of concrete from ten feet below the ground to sixty feet in height. The farm may be considered as the backbone of the Polytechnic plan of education. A very high percentage of the enrollment of the Insti- tute is of a self-help nature, and most of these at one time or another, serve their apprentice-ship on the farm.

Vice-President HEIIEN HACKNEY, Huntley, Montana ...... Secretary-Treasurer History Although the College Senior class has decreased considerably in size from the original Freshman class, it is still the largest class that has ever graduated from the Billings Polytechnic Institute. In this class you will find a pleasant and conscientious group of students who are more than willing to sacrifice their time and energy for the promotion of any class project. Under the leadership of the president, the class has performed more activities and a closer feeling has existed between the students than has ever been experienced before in any former class. In the early fall Mrs. Mackenzie, the class sponsor, gave a Get .-Xequainted party in which all members of the class were brought to- gether to become better acquainted. The evening was spent in playing games and singing folk songs. Immediatsly after the class play, another party was given for the members of the cast, helpers in the play, and the Polytechnic Orchestra. Being in the early spring a flower party was very appropriate so our sponsor arranged games of guessing the different' kinds of flowers in games. Prizes were given to those getting the largest list of flowers. This was the biggest party of the year and there were ap- proximately fifty guests present besides the regular class. The farewell party of the year was a banquet given by Mrs. Mackenzie, after which the evening was spent in burying the class treasures. The biggest project undertaken by the Senior class was the con- struction of a large lily pool, thirty feet in diameter by three feet deep, which was given to the Institute as a gift from the '33 graduating class. It is the largest presentation that has ever been undertaken by a. graduat- ing class. Breaking away from the customary form of presenting a regular three-act play, the class chose to present two plays in order that every member could take part, and to show the contrast between the old fashion- cd and the modern productions. They presented as their old-fashioned play. f'Among the Breakers, a melodrama of the late seventies. In con- trast to this production they gave Wurzel-Flummeryf' one of Milne's one-act modern comedies. The plays were well given and in the pre- sentation, a decided contrast was brought out between the old-fashioned type of play that our grandfathers enjoyed and the modern plays which we are used to seeing. In memory of the many happy hours spent on the old campus the class has buried their history, records, manuscripts, pictures, wills, and prophecies beneath the steps of their gift. The remembrance of this sym- bolical act will serve as one of the many bonds that will help to bind the Flass of '33 closer to their Alma Mater.

Vice-President ELAINE ALDRIC H, Polylerlmir, Montana,..Secretary-treasurer History A large enrollment in the Junior College C'lass made early organiza- tion difficult, thereby retarding: the activities of the class. In spite of the early handicap of group organization the Class has done outstanding in- dividual as well as cooperative work during the school year. The class as at whole has been very active in supporting the school activities. Four members of the class, John Stender, Leslie Holden, Walter Knaff, and Fred Hovdey received letters in football, and seven members Stanley Laukaitis, Chester Maple, Walter Nelson, Vincent Besinque, Roland Fowley, Donald Valiton, and Daniel Dimich received letters in basketball. The class is also represented in the Poly sextet. debate squad, societies, Lougzee League a11d other social activities on the campus. The Junior Class sponsored the selection of the annual May Queen. The Queen was selected by the popular vote of the entire student body. Miss Kathryn Hansen, a member of the Junior Class, was unanimously elected and was later crowned Queen of the May at the traditional Junior- Senior Prom. ' The most important class activity was the Junior-Senior Prom given May third in Prescott Commons. The room was highly decorated with the class colors-lilac and green, The Prom was opened with the symbolic act of crowning the May Queen. . The .Juniors have chosen lilacs as the class flower and 'tCli1nb and Achieve as the motto. Page Forty Row Row Row Row Row ROW Wm.

Much credit must be given 'iBud Pike Who, as class sponsor, coached the play. The leading character roles were taken by Wilbert Albert who took the part of Mr. Dare, and Thomas Eaton who played the part of his rich uncle. The part of Miss McShane Was played by Lila Mae Robinson and her mother, Mrs. Boise, was played by Louise Wold. Other char- acters in the play were Clarence Knaff as the colored servant, Nondys Young as the colored girl and Robert Robinson took the part of Dare's lawyer. On Wednesday, May 31, class day exercises of the senior highschool class were given during the chapel period.

Mrs. Mackenzie has taught the literature classes in both college and high school, while Mr. Aikins has had charge of the high school composition. freshmen college composition. and college journalism. The unit'l system of assignments has been used in the high school classes. allowing for a varying rate of progress as well as for a more comprehensive grouping of material for those who were able to progress faster than the average. The college journalism class has edited and published the POLYGRAPH, the lnstitute's bi- weekly newspaper. Mrs. Mackenzies college class in literature has main- tained the Literary column in this paper throughout most of the year. Speech Arts A marked increase in both interest and enrollment has been noted in these classes this year. Much effort has also been concentrated on making the nature of the work even more practical than ever before. Drill in class work has paved the way for more effective presentation in the all-society speaking contests. Much time has been spent with individual students who had speech handicaps. Some of the most interesting chapel programs of the year have been those in which members of the class have participat- ed. Practically every student has appeared at least once in public. Mr. Seebart, instructor of the Department, believes that speaking is an art to be achieved and not an inheritance, and all instruction is based on this principle. Publicity In this department many students have had a chance to write school notes for publication. Much of the news written for the POLYGRAPH has been used for statewide circulation. A glance through the scrapbook of publicity items. as kept by Mr. Seebart, the publicity director, shows what a mass of material concerning events at the school has been gathered and reported during the year. Most of these items were published in the Billings Gazette or the Midland Review, but many stories have been cir- culated by the Associated Press. under the caption- On the Campuses. Foreign Languages Three Foreign Languages are offered in the curriculum of the Poly- technic. Of these Mrs. Eva Mackenzie is the Professor of 'Latin and Ger- man, while Miss Florence Shirk teaches Spanish. Under the careful guid- ance of this department many students have realized the importance of languages as part of the foundation for their future academic career. Page Forty-Four Departments Social Sciences American History. Civics. Sociology, Psychology and Economics make up the Social Sciences in the Junior College at the Polytechnic. Dean Daniel Ward, Professor of this department, emphasizes the fact that his- tory is much more than mere events: that it is made up of movements and forces which form the structure of our civilization. The fundamental pur- pose of Sociology is to teach students how to become good citizens, while Psychology helps one to understand the motives and passions which direct the actions of all people. Engineering Mr. Carl Aldrich finds that it is his duty in the Auto-Motive depart- ment to prepare the boys so that they can take the all-important Lizzie apart and put it back together again whenever necessary. Included in the various motor vehicles which are operated and serviced is the tractor. The Electrical Engineering department is supervised by Mr. Hollis Johnson. Students learn the principles and laws of electricity and use their knowledge in practical applications whenever an opportunity is of- fered on the campus. Laboratory Sciences lfnder the direction of Mr. Roger Schauer, Miss Lois DeMoss and Mr. Marion Russell. Chemistry, Botany. Physics and Biology are offered by the Polytechnic. The Chemistry course aims to furnish a complete foun- dation in all the fundamental principles of Chemistry. The facilities of this laboratory have been taken advantage of to perform many interesting experiments and special tests on ores, oils and numberable other unknown samples. Students of Biology are introduced to the whole biological field to make acquaintance with the forms and forces of living nature. Religious Education Professor Seebart, instructor of this division, teaches courses in the Old and New Testaments and surveys of the history of Christianity. This work aims to acquaint the student with the social background of Christian groups, past and present. Horne Economics All the girls have the opportunity of supplementing their college classes with practical home making under the supervision of Miss Hazel Clark, who teaches the arts of sewing and cooking. Training in home making includes knowledge of the laws of health, scientific principles un- derlying food selection. and general standards for conducting a home.

Here we have the debate tealn rep- resenting the scholastic activities. These five boys --John McC'onnachie, Harold Drange, George Koriper, Don Yaliton and Erinal Hansen-ably coached by Mr. Seebarti, upheld the Poly tradi- tion in debating during the Winter, losing only one official debate, and that by a 2-1 decision. In recognition of this record President, Ernest T. Eaton presented the library of the school with a set of volumes containing the great debates of history. A corner of the Kirkpatrick Memorial Library, showing some of the stacks, a few study tables. and the magazine rack is pictured on the next page. The library, open evenings as well as Y W A Q, .1 vi I. an., V r WMI if f 1 fr Memorial Library in the daytime, is one of the favorite resting? places for students. if one may judge by the at- tendance record. This year five hundred volumes were added to the library, as a result of the Book Week. sponsored by the Polytechnic lYtl1l13l1iS Club. Just note the tasty pudding set out on the kitchen shelf. ready for the evening meal. As one looks at the chemistry laboratory pictures, one is not amazed that so often out of that place should come smells that remind those near at. hand of anything but pleasant things. The pic- ture of the quarry reminds us that the stone from T, Rock Quarry which the beautiful Poly buildings have been con- structed has come from our own Rimrock. The lineman at work is a reminder that we do our own wiring and electrical work. Line Man Unemistry Laboratory Page Forty-Seven DAVID L.

I :Dawff -0, The Pennant The Conservatory production of the Pennant, two act musical comedy, produced and presented in the Polytechnic Gymnasium, came as the first event of the C'ommencement week activities. The scenic settings, painted by David Dunn, were unusually fine and pictured a section of the Polytechnic Campus. The Pennant is a college comedy. and the scene was lain on the Polytechnic campus. making the selection an especially happy one for the Twenty-fifth Year. The story of the operetta portrayed the troubles of a popular football player who earned his way through college, where he fell in love with a beautiful girl whose family had more money than they could easily spend. The comedy was supplied by several campus characters who were so fa-- miliar as to be seen on almost every college campus. Helen Hackney, as the heroine, Elaine Aldrich, as her mother, Grace Petrie, as the matron of the girls dormitory, carried the story along effec- tively both in their singing and in their dramatic roles, while Leland Koy- ker. James Hyde, and George Armstrong supplied the campus comedy characters. Francis Hall played the part of the popular football hero in such a way as to carry on the plot most skillfully. The performance was a hit, and was played to the largest crowd ever assembled in the Polytechnic Gym. Trip to Great Falls y Farly on the morning of May 20th, after inspecting, patching, and pumping up all the questionable and somewhat ancient tires on the two cais, Helen Hackney and the Male Sextet composed of Frederick Schei- decker. Leland Koyker. Francis Hall. James Hyde, Cletus Walsh and Geo. Armstrong started out with Miss Green and Mr. Ward with the expecta- tion of reaching Great Falls sometime late in the afternoon. The first delay on the trip was caused by a wonderfully fine chicken dinner served at the home of Francis Hall at Barber, Montana. This de- layed the group for about two and a half hours, but the caravan was well on its way again at two-thirty in the afternoon. The next delay was at the home of Margaret Holmes at Benchland where the group was again most bountifully fed. On Sunday, the 21st, in Great Falls, the singers furnished the music for the morning service of First Congregational Church which was on the airl' from K F B B and then in the evening First Church was literally packed with people who were there to hear the concert of the Polytechnic singers. The group made a hit . The solos of Helen Hackney and Francis Hall were especially well received. and the instrumental and vocal numbers of the group in several different combinations of singers and players made a fine impression upon the audience. Miss Green was well received when she told about campus life of the girls here, and as she told of our Library Book Week. The people of Great Falls presented a large number of vol- umes to be brought home after the program. Page Fifty 'The Tecwls Activities The year's activities of the Conservatory are shown more vividly by a calendar of the events of 1932-33 than in almost any other way: but at summary of appearances of the facutly and students of the school of Music includes fifty-eight Radio Hours. forty-one of which were the reg- ular weekly Conservatory Hours. music furnished by special groups for thirty-four Yesper services, thirty Music Chapel programs, the orchestra for eight dances. and fifty-seven appearances for public meetings before audiences away from campus. Organizations in the Conservatory of Music include the Chorus, the Ladies Trio, the Polytechnic Male Sextet, the Mixed Quartet. the Orchestra, the Dance Orchestra, and other small groups. One of the most popular of these groups was the Male Sextet, whose unique presentation of instrumental and vocal numbers in varying combinations of players and singers invariably made a fine impression.

This year the Polytechnic Male Sextet, with Miss Helen Hackney as soloist, has been es- pecially featured toward the close of the school year. Une of the high- lights of its activities was its trip to Great Falls in May, where it appeared in recital before a large and enthusiastic audience in the Congregational Church. Members of this sextet. as they appear in the pictures on this page, are Fred- erick Scheidecker, Leland Koyker, Orchestra Francis Hall. James Hyde, Thomas Eaton. and George Armstrong. An- other popular group was the Flor- adora Sextet. composed of Francis Welch, Sylvester Hillyer, Cletus Walsh, Guy Troup. George Arm- strong, and Leland Koyker. with Francis Hall as their foil. This sextet. dressed in the styles of the gay 90's was a hit of the '4Fifty Years in Ninety Minutes benefit show, held at the Fox-Babcock theatre in Billings on lYednesday night. November 30. The orchestra has furnished music for school functions.

Graduates are our finished products and the finished product must always meet the requirements of the users of the product. In outlining our courses we have first considered the requirements of the employer and then planned our course accordingly. Our courses not only meet the requirements of stand- ardization but are considerably broader. You should carefully consider the subjects and scope of work included in each course before deciding which course you will take. In selecting at course one should keep in mind the importance of be- coming qualified to render the service that the business world demands and for which it is willing to pay. Training should be planned for future advancement as well as for immediate position. An executive position should be your ultimate goal. With one of our major courses you are nat- urally better qualified for advancement than you wold be if you were to take at shorter course. The shorter courses are primarily intended for those who have trained previously and desire review work. The questionfuwhich course shall I take? -confronts every young person. The answer to this question depends upon several things. You should have some idea of the type of work you desire to do in the future. You should consider your likes and dislikes. your general foundation educa- tion. the length of time you can spend on your course. and your own cap- abilities and shortcomings. The sensible thing to do is to take the best course you can afford. Coufrses of Study Stenotype Course Students who desire the most modern method of taking dictation should take Stenotype. Stenotype is the machine way of taking dictation. It is highly efficient. interesting, very rapid. easy to write and easy to read. It requires the same length of time to learn as is required to learn short- hand thoroughly. If you want the very best, you can do no better than by taking Stenotype-the last word in ta.king dictation. Elementary Accounting Coufrse The regular college diploma will be awarded to all students who com- plete this course. The estimated time required to complete this course is nine months or three quarters of twelve weeks each for those who have not had any of this type of work previously. This is a heavy course and re- quires conscientious work to complete each Quarters work as outlined. Page Sixty Courses of Study Civil Senuice Course There are many branches of the Civil Service Work and a student must decide upon the particular examination he desires to take. Special work will be given in the subjects required of students in the examination they select. The arrangement is made for the purpose of aid- ing the student to pass with a high average. Men and women without actual experience can enter the Civil Ser- vice field with ease by taking the Stenographic, Typing, or Accounting examinations. The regular college diploma will be awarded to all students who com- plete this course. The estimated time required to complete this course is nine months or three quarters of twelve weeks each for those who have not had any of this type of work previously. This is a heavy course and re- quires conscientious work to complete each Quarters work as outlined. Our regular Stenographic, Secretarial or Accounting Course will fur- nish the basic foundation for these examinations. Special training will be given in additional required subjects. Complete Business and Stenogfraphic Course The requirements for graduation in this course must be met before the student will be recoinmended for employment or granted a diploma. Work done in Accredited Schools elsewhere will be accepted. The Degree of Honor Graduate in Business will be granted to graduates of this course by the National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools. Average time is five Quarters to fifteen months. Accounting and Business Administration This is a very heavy course and requires five Quarters or fifteen months to complete for those who have not had any previous training in this line of work. Stenogfrapliic Course Students who complete any course as outlined will be given the regu- lar business college diploma and will be given every assistance in securing a good position. Students can not be recommended for a position until the course they choose has been completed. The estimated time for com- pleting this course is eight to ten months for those who have not had any previous training of this type. Secfretcwial Course The Secretarial Course is more comprehensive than the Stenographic Course and more nearly meets the requirements for positions of a higher type. Time required to complete this course is 12 to 15 months for those who have not had previous training.

Page Sixty-Twcr Billings Business College It is practically impossible to say which one of the professions or trades affords the greatest opportunities. or how much a man may reason- ably expect to earn in a special calling. Even in the crowded field of med- icine there are men who make 825.000 a year: and there are lawyers who earn as much. Une of these high-paid physicians might have made a poor lawyer, and a lawyer earning 525.000 a year might never earned more than 52.500 in the medical field. Successful men do well because they are in the work for which they are fitted. and because they devote themselves zeal- ously to it. Ideal Business Surroundings The Billings Polytechnic Institute has kept in step with the march of progress and to this end the Billings Business College was purchased for the purpose of establishing the School of Business downtown in the heart of all business activities in the city and the Midland Empire. The operation of a School of Business in close relationship with the numerous activities of the community provides advantages and oppor- tunities for all students in this department that are not surpassed any- where in the country. The Business College is fully accredited by the National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools, an organization comprising about three hundred of the leading schools of business in the United States. Accredit- rnent in this National Association guarantees students of the Business College the very best to be had in any business school. Advanced courses in Economics, Salesmanship, and Accounting make it possible for students to do a full years college work in advance of the regular business college courses. Very thorough courses are offered in Ste- nography. Stenotypy, Secretarial Training. Bookkeeping and Accounting, Banking, Business Law, Business Machines, and Civil Service. Special attention given to the Placement Bureau through which all graduates are given every possible assistance in securing splendid business positions. The Business College issues the regular college diploma to those who complete any course. The National Association of Accredited Commercial Schools issues its Degree of Honor Graduate in Business to all students graduating from the complete Business and Stenography course. The Zaner-Bloser School of Penmanship issues its penmanship diploma to all students who meet its rigid requirements. The Southwestern Publishing Company issues a certificate to all those who complete the thorough Bookkeeping course. The Billings Business College. School of Business of the Billings Polytechnic Institute , is under the direct management of H. E. Biddinger, Dean, who has had years of experience in business college and high school work.

Unhanipered by conservative college entrance requirements and unrestricted by traditional niehods of instruc- tion, Polytechnic has here founded a vital system. The shops, the building operations, the farm, and the Other practical industries of the school con- nect the student directly with situations that he will find in life. In these industries the student tests his latent abilities, and finding his proper field of lifewoiik, goes out into the activities of the world with assurance of success. The industries Operated by the Polytechnic serve a two-fold purposeg first, tO teach the fun- damental processes which a student must master Interior of Auto Shop Page Sixty-Six Practical Foundry Work if he is to succeed in his vocation: second, to finance the expenses of a student's education. In the carrying out of this purpose both educa- tional and financial credit is given for all the practical work that the student performs. Thus, while mastering the fundamentals of his desired vocation, the student is enabled to earn money to apply on the cost of his education. At the present time the student in the School of Vocations may receive training in Ag- riculture-garden, field crops. stock-raising, dairy, machine farming, beekeeping, poultry: in Auto- Motive Engineering-automobile and tractorg in Chemical Engineeringg in Electrical Engineeringg in Home Makingg and in Industrial Arts-ma- chine shop, carpentry, cabinet-making.

In this self-help school, with the major- ity of its students working part or all of their way, an infinite variety of jobs is needed to keep them busy. One of the most interesting of the new inrlustries is the Machine Shop. In one of these pictures We have a corner of that shop. showing the forges, an essential piece of appar- atus in a machine shop. In another picture We see the boys pouring aluminuni-a step in the process of making castings for the many pieces of machinery at the Polytechnic. Farming is, of course, a basic industry here, for Without the Poly farm, it is not. too much to say that there would be no school. For not only does the farm Linotype provide work for more than one-third of the self- help students, but also from its industries comes the food that enables the school to operate a dining hall at a very low cost. The dairy is up- to-date in every way. using milking machines in the barn and other modern apparatus in the dairy room. From the dairy herd of registered Holstein cows comes all the milk, cream. and cheese needed by faculty and students, as well as enough cream to sell in exchange for our but- ter. The nurses at work in the laboratory are an- other reminder that the Polytechnic plan of ed- ucation is exceeding practical in nature. And surely the linotype. lettershop, and binding de- partment pictures suggest the possibilities of a publicity program printed in a student print shop.

Its emblem. the American Eagle. is a symbol of lofty thinking, high aspirations, and Worthy ideals. qual- ities which the society has endeavored to uphold Whenever it has entered any contests or taken part in any program. It was the Eagles who began the social life of the school term with their annual Weiner Roast at a favorite spot on the Rims. The student body was entertained there with an appetizing supper and novel program. At other times during the year the Society has presented two splendid programs for students on the campus, and sponsored the January dancing party, which was one of the most pleasant of the year. The Eagles have made a good showing in the many Inter-Society con- tests. They have at all times possessed the spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play and have given their best in keen competition. Through working in the Eagle Society. many young men have emerged as competent leaders. to go into other communities better fitted to help their fellowmen. 1 Page Seventy-Two Row Row Row Row Row Row Row 1. 2. 3 4 5: 6 T C.

Early in the Fall the Pioneers entertained the student body with a picnic at the Log Cabin. They presented two very good public programs during the year, and were hosts at two dancing parties for the student body and Business College students. By including in their Weekly programs reading, debates. music and talks by the members, the Society has helped its members to educate them- selves in appearing well before an audience and in becoming good leaders. The Pioneers are especially proud of their meeting place, which is a time-hallowed log cabin just off the campus. An attractive fireplace was liuilt into it. and the Society has added other features to make the cabin a cozy place of cheer and an appropriate place to hold its weekly meetings. ,. ,, max?

QTREEN, Sponsor Mary Perry and Kathryn Hansen, Representatives to Inter- Socicty Council History The Aloha Literary Society is the only woman's OlQi3l1lZ3llUI1 on the r-mnous. and practically all women students, including many of those who live in town, are enrolled. Development along the lines of leadm-shin and ability to express one- self clearly and to aopear before the public is one of the chief aims of the literary societies. The Alphas have endeavored to achieve this goal by including in their weekly programs parliamentary drill, short talks, de- bates, and other features in which the talents of the various members can be brought out and developed. The Alnhas were the first of the societies to present this year a public program. which was a minstrel show of the highest type. This was fol- lowed later by another program composed of various numbers and pro- claimed as one of the best student performances of the year. The Alphas have also been well represented at several chanel periods when some of their members have given readings or short talks. The social life has not been neglected, and many pleasant times have been enjoyed by the members. The gay St. Yalentine dancing party spon- sored by the Society will long be remembered as a bright spot on the school calendar. The concluding social event of the year was the annual lawn party. to which were invited all the students on the campus. The merry laughter of the guests as they moved about the lawn. taking part in the traditional treasure hunt, dancing, and other activities. was an expression of the light-hearted happiness and friendliness that prevailed during the evening, and seemed, as well, to voice the spirit of the Society itself. s- - -- -l . . ..- --, Page Seventy-Six Row 1: Mary Perry: M.

Secretary Charles Pepper, Secretary History In the summer of l932 the students' self-help organization was form- ed as a body with regularly elected officers. This organization has been very helpful for those students who were working their way While attend- ing the Billings Polytechnic Institute. Meeting every VVednesday evening, with their sponsor Mr. Aikins, Director of the Self-Help Department, the group discussed the problems of student life, giving and receiving helpful suggestions and advice. At these meetings the students were given op- portunity to suggest ways of improving the quality and efficiency of their work, and many practical ideas were offered, later to be adopted in prac- tice. At various times during the summer and school year, President Ernest T. Eaton met with the group. Other features of the meetings were guest. speakers from Billings, pep rallies and group song services.

This year the new students met with the return- ing students and the faculty in Prescott Commons where the barriers of unfamiliarity were thrown away and all united into one happy family. The mixer is handled by a committee from the student body who plan a lively evening of relays, peanut races. hoop races, and necktie races. As the students gathered they were told that there was a millionaire in the crowd and the search began. The thirteenth person to get his name was given a generous prize of one penny. This was followed by a grand march which eventually brought the group into a formation of eight rows, which was just right for the following hilarious contests. The event creating the most enthusiasm and excitement was the spelling contest entered into by the entire group. The musical wedding and the advertising contest loaned their popularity in making this evening of side-splitting fun one of the most successful mixers ever staged at the Poly. Eagle Weiner Roast One of the first things that the new student is told about by his fellow students is the Eagle Weiner Roast held each year during the first week of school on the rim rocks. This is exclusively an Eagle affair to which all students and faculty are invited. Instead of going to their usual evening meal the students congregate some place on the campus and at about 5:30 p. m. the trek is started for the rims. There is always a crackling fire and the sight of buns. hot coffee and weiners to greet them. About a half hour is spent in clambering about on the rocks and in viewing the city of Bil- lings and the surrounding valley. Then word is passed through the human telephone that it is time to eat. And is there a mad scramble to get in line? As the maximum capacity of stomachs is approached and everyone is con- tentedly sitting in the shadows around the fire, an program consisting of group singing. and special numbers from the Eagle Society is given. Be- fore the evening is concluded some prominent. member of each society gives a short review of the ideals. purposes, and desires of his society, and extends to all a cordial and sincere invitation to visit and eventually be- come a member of one of the societies. Finally, the roast is concluded with a group song and all go singing, laughing, and lighthearted to their society meetings. First Chapel One of the oldest traditions of the school is the first chapel service led by Educational Director Lewis T- Eaton. Each year since the opening of the school in September, 1909, Mr. Eaton has led this chapel service. basing his remarks upon the Biblical incident of Joshua leading the Chil- dren of Israel into the promised land. In his talk this year Mr. Eaton pointed out that the students were coming into their promised land, where they needed to heed the injunction: Be strong and very courageous. Page Eighty-Two Faculty Reception On Saturday night. following the days of enrollment. everyone dolled up in their best Hbib and tucker and wended their way to Losekamp Con- servatory to be officially welcomed by faculty members of the Polytechnic family. This annual reception given for the students by the factulty, is one of the most colorful of entertaining events. The East Room of the Conservatory is decorated with flowers and sylvan decoration. Here the students are introduced to the wives of the instructors and are given a friendly handshake. Following the introductions, the students and faculty unite in a raid on the punch bowl and cooky platters. After the stomachs of faculty and students alike are well satisfied, a short well-selected pro- gram is given by the faculty. putting the finishing touches on this even- ing of gayety. The faculty reception gives the new members of the stud- ent body a feeling of closer intimacy with the instructors and makes them feel that the school has a personal interest in each one of them. Pioneer Log Cabin Night To show that they are just as up-and-coming as anybody and that they are not to be out-done in furnishing good times and good programs, the Pioneer Literary Society holds its Log Cabin Night the Friday even- ing following the Eagle weiner roast. About six o'clock everybody goes over to the Pioneer cabin which was given them by Mr. Lougee, where they gather around the roaring fire in front of the cabin. The whole at- mosphere and enviromnent is rustic and one feels that he is out in a grove rather than close to a school. As they pass in line, each one is served with a generous plate of food. Following the eating there comes the entertain- ment. Each society is represented by some prominent member who speaks for the benefit of both societies and the activities among the societies. A real historic and romantic touch is given these programs by the unexpected appearance of a group of cowboy bandits or rustlers who suddenly come riding in and shoot up the quiet party. This lively bit of pageantry truly exemplifies the word Pioneer . Fortunately this unexpected return of the days when men were men and the women were glad of it is subdued and the powerful clutch of modern civilization gathers the outlaws in its grasp making it safe again for the children of the present day. Armistice Day Armistice Day exercises were observed at the regular chapel hour. Director L. T. Eaton led in appropriate devotional readings which was followed by an introduction through Dean Ward of Rev. J. T. Taylorson. pastor of the Church of the Nazarenes in Billings- The Value of Peace was the topic selected by Rev. Taylorson. He called back to mind out- standing incidents of the World War. and three major causes of war: greed. egotism, and selfishness. This hour in which the theme had been that there should be no more war, was concluded with a solo by Loftus VVard entitled, The Trumpeterf' and group singing of the f'Star Spangled Bannerfl Page Eighty Three Halloween Party One of the social highlights of tl1e month of Qctolrer was the Hallow 0011 party.

This year it was a more gala celebration than ever for it marked the silver anniversary of this festival. Twenty-five years ago. the students and faculty moved on to the pres- ent cainpus. There were only the four wooden dormitories and Science Hall which even then was not fully completed. Electric lights had not yet been connected with the dormitories. and so those first few students who started with the Polytechnic twenty-five years ago sat down to their evening meal in the light of candles. That candlelight supper is the dear- est of memories connected with the development of the Polytechnic. Almost three hundred students. alumni. faculty. and visitors were present at the silver anniversary banquet. The dining hall was beautifully and appropriately decorated in silver. In accordance with the tradition. hundreds of lighted candles displaced the usual electric lighting. The or- chestra played various selections while the ushers were seating the guests. Mrs. Eva Mackenzie presided as toastmistress. dominating the entire evenings program with that clear. sparkling personality which she is so capable of exercising. The subject around which the program was devel- oped was Snow -the term being symbolic of the past and present stu- dents of the Polytechnic. Speakers from the faculty. student body. and al- unmi spoke on some aspect of that subject. Dr. E. T. Eaton. President of Polytechnic. gave the principal address of the evening. His subject was l'ntrodden Snowsu. He told of his fight for Montanas educational system in the legislative halls of the capital. As president of the Polytechnic he told of the difficulties our school was facing. He paid tribute to those who so enegetically backed the institu- tion. In conclusion to his talk. Dr. Eaton asked the students and alumni and friends of the Polytechnic to remember that this is our school. For us it was established: through us it must continue. Not for many years will those who attended this twenty-fifth Silver Candle-light Banquet forget the beautiful inspiring service and the fellowship there. Candlelight Banquet I YY. ...Y . ,.,. , .,,,,i,,, , . Page Eighty Flve Faculty-Student Contests During the school year, many contests of various types and forms are held on the eampus. Naturally the majority of these are among the stu- dents. But now and then our dear teachers feel that they must maintain their athletic supremacy. These contests between the students and faculty attract at great deal of attention. Early in the winter, the teachers let it be known that they would encounter the students in the popular court game. As is generally the case. the students expected to walk away with a goorl victory, but the surprise was theirs. Their instructors not only gave them a good drubbing in point of score, but also made them feel like hunting for a hole in the floor. That was once the young upstarts were thoroughly squelehedln Ilowever, after a month or so, the thorough drubbing in basketball was forgotten by the students. so they contracted to play an evening of volley ball with their professors. But alack, the students again were at the mercy of their elders. Perhaps we could apply the old law, You can't keep a good man down . At any rate the students came right back for more. Even though they had been beaten indoors, they were sure of supremacy on the diamond. One of Poly's oldest traditions, that of a student-faculty baseball game on Washingtonis birthday, whether rain, mud, or two feet of snow, was passed up this year much against the will of the older students who always antticipated this great traditional game with much enthusiasm. We didn't think our faculty would spoil this old tradition just because there happened to be a little snow. However, the game was played some weeks later in the warm sunshine, and the students turned the tablesi' by winning from the teachers. It can truthfully be said, however, that the old enthusiasm was lacking. This contest was the last of those between students and faculty. Inter-Society Contests It is needless to say that no activities arouse the interest and enthus- iasm of the entire student body as do these contests participated in by the two men's literary societies, the Eagles and Pioneers, and the woman's society, the Alphas. Although they cannot compete in athletics, the Alphas certainly make their presence felt in forensics and other literary activities. Among these activities were the reading contest, the spelling contest. and the oratorical contest. These inter-society activities are really public dem- onstrations of the work that is carried on in the respective literary organ- izations and for which purpose they were organized. And if you don't think this work is taken seriously, you should be present when the deafen- ing cheers are given following the announcement of the Winner. If it were not for the literary societies, with their ever present rivalry, life on the campus would be much more routine than it is. But when a challenge is issued by a society to the others, it is accepted as though it were a matter of politics or of life and death. This year the boys proved their academic superiority over the girls-their rivals from Kimball H all- by winning all the literary contests. The Pioneers won the reading contest, while the Eagles were victors in the others. Page Eighty-Six , EaglefPio'neev Contests One of the first outstanding contests is that of the Pioneer-Eagle Basketball game. Although both societies generally enter an intramural team. the intramural games are unimportant compared with the one big game. On the night set for the traditional game the two sides face each other on opposite sides of the gymnasium along with their rooters and supporters. So great is the enthusiasm that it is often difficult to hear the referees whistle. The regular school games do not even com- pare with this contest as far as cheering is concerned. The traditional game this year was played in March after the close of the varsity season. The Pioneers won by comfortable margin. Following the basketball game the Eagles and Pioneers this year engaged in a volleyball game. This was something that had not been done before. Perhaps that explains for the fact that it received less enthusiasm. The Pioneers emerged the victors with apparently little effort. It was not a traditional game. The baseball game between the two societies was played at the school picnic grounds. Most of the details have already been explained in the school picnic article a few pages back. Everybody had the Eagles Hdopedl' to win. But to their surprise and dismay, their less flashy but more consistant rivals. the Pioneers. sort of took them into campn. Being played out on a flat place on the rolling hills along the road to Hardin, this game seemed to represent the story of David and Goliath brought up to date. Other Eagle-Pioneer contests in the line of athletics were the track and field meet. the cross-country steeple chase of more than six miles over the rims, and the greatest event of the whole year, the tug-of-war across the irrigation ditch. When everything else is forgotten, mem- bers of both societies will remember and talk about these rope-pulling contests in which one side must turn out to be all wetw. The cross coun- try race was won by the Pioneers. thus upsetting a five-year Eagle reign in this event. The well-balanced Pioneer team swept through the event in the track meet to victory. However, in the Tug-of-War the Eagles out- pulled their rivals. thus closing the year with a victory. But the activities of the societies are not all in line of athletics. Early in the year the two men's societies and the Alphas, the women's society. competed in a spelling contest. If this didn't make those who watched hold their breath with pounding hearts. then the author would like to know what did. All but one of the ten members of each so- ciety spelled down and from then on it was just a matter of luck. As it happened the Eagles were carried to victory by a member of the print shop, Guy Troup. Among other activities are the oraterical contests, won by the Eagles, the reading contest won by the Pioneers. the annual inter-so- ciety debate. etc. These activities demonstrate the purpose for which the societies are organized. and much interest is shown in them. Many former students attribute their success in life to their literary society work. Page Eigthty Seven Page Ei School Picnic Rain and more rain! Why does it always have to rain when a great opportunity to don hiking breaches and overalls comes around. But fin- ally the weather cleared up and happy days were here again. On May 17. everybody climbed aboard the Polytechnic trucks. clambered in stray auto- mobiles. and away we went. bound for the land of prickly cactus, Hardin Hill. After a short journey during which there was much shouting and laughing. our destination was reached. and everybody fell overboard in search of their land legs. Because of the rain, the annual Pioneer-Eagle laseball game had been postponed the previous week. Wlhat better op- portunity was there to establish supremacy on the diamond than out on the grassy plot near the picnic grounds? As if by magic, bats. balls, and gloves. began to appear amid issuing jibes. shouts, and challenges. Before the game neither side was beaten. At least the crucial time arrived. Both sides played hard. fast, and spiritedly. But alas, despite their efforts, the Eagles were not equal to their old rivals. the Pioneers. Well. somebody had to lose. and after all. it was a great game. Along toward evening. the spirits were still willing, but the stomachs were weak. They began to demand food. And when stomachs demand food when on a picnic, there's nothing to do but cater to them. The Wills seem to fall in line quite unobjectingly though. About five-thirty, dishes began to rattle, a fire was built. and suddenly as if by instinct a long line was formed. Interest seemed to be in the front end of the line by the Way everybody tried to get there. We wonder why! Finally the day ended, and surprising as it may seem. everyone was glad to be home. It was the end of a perfect day. X uniofr Prom The number 13 has no bugbears for the members of the Junior Class. for didn't they give the most delightful dancing party of the year on that evening? Just ask any of the seniors if they weren't given the best prom in the history of the school! Yes, dear old Prescott Commons was cer- tainly a scene of a galaxy of gay costumes and happy faces on May 13. The Juniors established a precedent this year by crowning the most popular young lady as May Queen. The honor of being the first prom queen was :riven Miss Kathryn Hansen by popular vote of the entire student body. Festivities were begun by a promenade led by the president of the senior class and the May Queen. t'Home Sweet Home came all too soon. Many words of praise and appreciation have been given the Juniors for their hard work and careful planning which made their prom so en- joyable. The entire length of the hall was covered by crepe paper stream- ers in the class colors. ln the east end of the hall a throne trimmed in gold was set on a dias. A flood light hung from the ceiling added much to the lighting effects. especially that of the throne. The orchestra was placed in the west end of the hall. the players being surrounded by a picket fence trimmed with spring flowers. The floor was polished like glass so that guests literally floated about the hall. To the Juniors of the future: You have a precedent before you that you will have to work hard to beat. ghty-Eight Memorial Day Memorial Day the students and faculty met for a short memorial service in the chapel in memory of those students who gave their lives during the Great War and those who have died since, while attending school. Following the chapel services at 8:30, the group followed the colors to the memorial grove where at tree was dedicated to Professor Dixon who left us last fall. Many years a.go Polytechnic dedicated this grove to her students and faculty who gave their lives while in the service of the school. Each memorial day, services of dedication are held in this grove and each member of the school who has died since the previous memorial day, has a tree dedicated to his name. There are now more than twenty trees con- secrated in this grove. May Day Lawn, Fete After God had created man. he was not satisfied, and so he fashioned woman. and she has been after him ever since. The two men's literary so- cieties may make an attempt to start things in the fall, but it takes the girls to show what an outdoor party is. Every year. the Alpha Literary Society provides the grand finale to social activities on the campus for the year with a lawn party. And truly, this is the best party of the year- warm May evening, velvety green grass, colored lanterns hung from the low boughs. shimmering leaves fluttering in the shadows, music mixed with gay laughter sifting through the atmosphere and over the campus- such is the picture tand a very poor picture at bestl of the Alpha Lawn Fete. And this is not all. There are games and games, and dancing, fol- lowed by refreshments. not the grumble and growl kind, but juicy cake and delicious ice cream. This year, the traditional Alpha party was held on the evening of Memorial Day. No, thc boys are not in it when it comes to giving outdoor parties. Sunrise Service A number of years ago, somebody started the tradition for Lougee League members of holding a Sunrise Service on Easter mornig. This an- nual service has been held quite diligently every Easter morn since, wheth- er it rained or whether the sun has shone. This year beautiful warm rays of sunshine peeked over the hills as Lougee League members congregated on the east side of the conservatory for their annual service in memory of Him who gave His life for the world. The meeting was well attended. The scripture was read by Miss Perry, who also told the story of Easter. Miss Shirk sang a solo. accompanied by Mrs. Armstrong, house- mother of Kenney Hall. Mr. Kermit Richardson contributed a violin solo of special Easter music, accompanied by Miss Brown. This Easter Sunrise Service is one of the pleasant memories of the Lougee League group. Out in the early spring sunshine, with all of nature coming to life, that wonderful feeling of close fellowship with God is felt. It is one of the most inspirational meetings of one's life and one of the fondest of memories of life at the Polytechnic. Page Eighty Nine Sen iov Class Play Instead of presenting one three-a.et play, the Senior class produced a two-act melodrama, Among the Breakers. and a one-act comedy. Wurzel-Fluminery . These plays which required a cast of sixteen char- acters, were among the best dramatic presentations ever offered by a Poly- technic graduating class. Not enough tribute can be paid Mrs. Eva Mac- kenzie, class sponsor, who directed the play, for her tireless efforts. The scene of the two-act melodrama. Among the Breakers , opened in a lighthouse. It was evening. and a- storm was approaching. As the story develops, it is discovered that the storm had wrecked a wealthy party which had been rescued by the keeper's daughter. or rather, the girl whom he had raised. The story does not begin at plot but rather, it brings it to a. climax. The keeper, David Murray and Bruce Hunter, the wealthy ship- wrecked man. had onee been friends. Bruce Hunter, however, did not rec- ognize his old friend, but Murray recognized Hunter. Fifteen years before. Hunter had intrigued Murrays wife. Crazed with grief, Murray stole Hunters infant daugther. Fifteen years later, revenge still burned in lIurray's heart, and now as he recognized Hunter, he thought he could bring himself relief through the murder of this wealthy man who had ruin- ed his dreams as a young man. But his murderous attempts were thwarted by Scud. the negro servant of Hunter whose naive manners brought much applause from the audience. The play ended with everyone happy. 'KWurzel-Flummery'', the one-act comedy, by A. A. Milne, was not the type of play a person generafly thinks of, but was a deep. subtle drama which required an intelligent audience to fully appreciate. A story of a man who sold his name for a sum of money is not a practice to be laughed at, yet, the circumstances and the predicaments which he falls into by so doing are quite humorous. For two different men to take the same name for the same sum of money causes great merriment. but when a wily law- yer handles the proposition, then the plot is brought to its climax. Such was the situation in Wurzel-F11nnmery in which two members of the Parliament sold their cognomens and accepted the name they had pre- viously seoffed, ''XYurzel-Flummeryu. Among the Breakers Page Ninety Class Day Class day is probably the day of all the great days of Commencement Week that is longest remembered by the members of the class. Com- mencement Day is of course the great day, but because of its grandure. it fails to carry with it as much personal feeling as that more hmnan day -Class Day. Hence it is no wonder that. with the passing of years. this day has come to be regarded as one of the Polyteclmic traditions. From the early morning lirealifast to the dying away of the last notes of the farewell ode in the evening. this day is one of intense activity- Class Day this year was no exception to the general rule. Members of the class of 10533 were inyited to a Class Day breakfast at 6:00 a.. m, in the orchard of President Ernest T. Eaton. Despite the early hour every member of the class was on hand at the appointed hour. And did they eattl Long will this early morning meal remain in the memory of those seniors, soon to he graduates- At 2:00 p. m. the class met in a body by the lily pool be- tween Science Hall and the Losekamp Memorial Hall to present this work of their hands to the Institute. Dedicated by Addie Peterson and pre- sented by George Haaland, the pool was accepted by President Eaton. in behalf of the Trustees of the Billings Polytechnic Institute. The cli- max of the days activities came at S100 p. m. when, arrayed in their black caps and gowns. the members of the class of 1933 presented their Class Day exercises in the Recital Hall of the Conservatory. From its opening Welcome to the Farewell Ode this service cemented the emotions and mcmor ies of the twenty-two members of this Class of 1933-largest ever to graduate from the Polytechnic Junior College. Throughout the time- honored addresses-the Class History, the Gift of Photographs, the Pres- entation of the Spade, the Class Prophecy, the Entrusting of the Shield, the Class Willa-as well as in the other addresses of the program, each meml er of the audience felt the emotion of the hour, the yearning for high ideals. the desire to carry into real practice the spirit of their class motto, as first expressed by Sir Walter Scott: The Will to do: the Soul to dare. Wurzel- Fiurnmery Page N nety One Page Ni Commencement Week May 26 to June 2, the shortest, busiest. and happiest week of the year. Commencement week this year was unusually full because so much had to be postponed that had been planned earlier, and also be- cause the Billings Polyteclmic Institute is this year celebrating its twenty- fifth anniversary. Just preceding commencement week was BOOK DAY on Tues- day, May 23. This was set aside for special exercises and the donating of books to the Kirkpatrick Memorial Library. It was sponsored by the Polytechnic VVoman's Club. In connection with BOOK DAY, an author's tea and reception was held in the East Boom of Losekamp Me- morial Hall. Mr. W. W. Gail presided at this tea, introducing many local writers. who read selections from their own works. Mr. Gail also read excerpts from letters. received from authors who were contributing vol- umes to the shower. Over five hundred volumes were received during the period of Book Week. May 22 to May 27. On May 26 was the all society program which included the inter- society oratorical contest. The program was sponsored and furnished by all three societies. Representatives in the oratorical contest were Tor- borg Pederson for the Alphas. George Korber for the Pioneers, and Ermal Hansen for the Eagles. Ermal Hansen won the contest, thus giving first place to the American Eagle Literary Society. On Saturday, May 27. the Eagles and the Pioneers competed in their annual cross country steeple chase. Promptly at 1:30 p. m. the runners representing the two societies started on their way. The race was a hard one from start to finish, each new runner doing his best to hand on a sub- stantial lead to his successor. But it was all in vain. The lead changed hands repeatedly, and when the last two representatives took up the bur- den. it was still a nip and tuck race. The Pioneers had the best stamina and won, putting an end to a long-continued succession of Eagle triumphs. In the evening the Conservatory of Music put on its animal operetta. The Pennant . This production was staged in the Gymnasium on a built-in stage, with all properties made by students in the Polytechnic self-help departments. On Sunday, May QS, the regular activities of commencement week began with the baccalaureate exercises held in Losekamp chapel. Rev. McCarthy of Livingston delivered the address. Tuesday, May 30, mem- orial day exercises were held in tribute to those students who gave their lives during the war and since. These services were held in the chapel and in the memorial grove. That evening, the Alpha Literary Society entertained with its annual May Lawn Fete. This is the outstanding party of the year. It has already been described as a feature by itself. And then came the last day of all, the day when all bonds were broken, Commencement Day. On this day, the Seniors went to Lose- kamp Conservatory where they received their last bit of advice and where they were armed with a diploma, with which to help them in their battles of earning a living. This Commencement day certainly pro- vides a very dramatic ending for such a memorable year as that of 1933. nety-Two F oundevs' Day Commencement lVeek in 1933 saw the beginning of a new Polytech- nic tradition-Founders' Day. Twenty-five years ago-in May. 1908-the Eaton brothers came to Billings in search of a location in which they could build their school of the future. a school in which the practical side of education was more emphasized than the theoretical. Here they found kindred souls. adventurous pioneers who saw the possibilities in the new ideal and promised their support and cooperation- This year, one day during Commencement Week-June 1-was set aside as a day to com-- memorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the school. The events of Founders' Day were set in motion by a convocation of all the students of the Institute. including the members of the Billings Business College. At this convocation. following brief devotional exercises. remarks were made concerning the significance of the day. Events of the afternoon included a track meet and the traditional Tug-of-War between the two boys' literary societies. The Pioneers won the track meet by a comfortable margin, but the Eagles scored sweet revenge when they pul- led their rivals through the upper irrigation ditch. At 6:00 p. m. students. faculty, Trustees. and friends of the Institute met on the lawn beside the Lily Pool to partake of a fine picnic supper, served by the staff of the Polytechnic Dining Hall. linmediately after this meal, President Ernest T. Eaton announced plans for a treasure chest to be sealed in cement be- neath the walk to the Lily Pool. and to be opened on the fiftieth anniver- sary of the founding of the school. All were invited to deposit some word, picture. or precious inoinento in this chest before it should be sealed up at 5:00 p. m. on Saturday, June 3. not to be opened until twenty-five years from the date of sealing. High winds and threatened rain now drove the group indoors to the Conservatory Recital Hall, where some of the original Trustees. and the two Eaton brothers spoke of the institution's early days, its visions, its struggles, and its accomplishments. With the closing of this program of reminiscences, the first Founders' Day came to an end, but one who talked with those who knew it in its early days believe that this day will continue as a vital tradition. Service of Silence The traditional Service of Silence, one of the most impressive ser- vices of the year. was held this year during the last week of school. At ten o'clock in the morning, the students and faculty assembled in the chap- el room of Losekamp Conservatory. After a short service there, the body proceeded to the rimrocks. It is a tradition founded 18 years ago by Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Eaton that after crossing the upper ditch, no one speaks except the leader. When the traditional site of the service which is direct- ly above the campus, is reached, the leader, Rev. lVlcCammant of Ballan- tine, offered a short sermon and a prayer. All was silent except the voice of the speaker and the voice of nature. Following this short service on the rims, everyone descends. remaining quiet until the bridge over the upper ditch is crossed. Even then. tones are hushed. so impressive is the service. Page Ninety Three Page Ni Class Gifts In 1929, the Senior class originated the idea of presenting to the school a class gift. Since then. the Senior classes have continued this tra- dition of presenting something to the school for the beautification of the cainpus. These gifts require inuch work and some expense, and they not only add to the appearance of the campus, but stand as lasting nieinorials to the graduating classes. The Class of '29 dedicat-ed as their gift, a sandstone bench which they placed in a cozy nook of Science Hall lawn. Here the students can sit in their spare nionients and enjoy the cool shade or watch the birds overhead. The rock is beautifully finished and engraved with the class figures. On one of his trips through this section of the country Theodore Roosevelt delivered an open air address to students and friends of the Polytechnic. lt was his last speech on a college cainpus in Ainerica. To inark this ineinorable spot where he stood that day. the Senior Class of '30 set a large sandstone rock. This rock is located just across the road east of the bench given by the previous class. It is supported on a concrete lease in which sinaller granite rocks have been placed. Behind it two young cedar trees were planted. It So happened that on the following year, the old flagpole had to be inoved to a new site. The Seniors saw opportunity for a worthy un- dertaking so they accepted the job of moving the pole to its new site in the center of the lot across the road froni Kenney Hall. They added an extra forty feet to the pole, painted ii with a new coat of shiny white, and set it in about eight feet of concrete. T'he Ainerican Legion froin Billings presented the school with a new fair-weather flag which has since floated froni the top of the pole on all fair days. On class day, the Seniors and ineinbers of the Billings branch of the Ainerican Legion foiinally dedicated the new pole and the flag. When this school was niaking its early struggle for existence,'a nian by the nanie of Mr. John D. Losekanip did inuch for the Polytech- nic in an influential and financial way. The Conservatory building was named after hini. The Senior Class of 1932 felt that it was only right that a inenioiial should be inade in his honor. On the east corner of the lot and in line with the Roosevelt ineinorial. we now see another rock quite similar in shape and size. This was given and dedicated by the Class of 1932 in ineniory of Mr. Losekanip. Another copper plate given by the Anaconda Copper Coinpany bears the nanie of this leader for young people. The Class of '33 have left their nieniorial in the forni of a lily pool. Thisfis probably the largest' and the prettiest of any of the class dona- tions. It is inade of concrete and is about twenty-five feet in diaineter. It is located in the center of the lot containing the ineniorial rocks of Roosevelt and Losekainp. ln the future, Eaton Hall, a new administra- tion building will be built directly behind it. This pool has been sur- rounded with flowers. There is a fountain in the center. It adds inuch to the already beautiful canipus. - . nety-Four Polygraph Staff Mr. Aikins: Geo. Korber: K. Daley: L. Baumgartner: L. Monirgomeryg D. Doolen One cold night in November 1915. three Polytechnic students had finished some late work in the print shop, and were warming and rest- ing themselves. As they lunched on hot dogs and coffee, one of them thought of an idea, and the Polygraph was born. For the first two years. the Polygraph was published in magazine form, appearing once each month during the school year in its green and gold jacket and carrying on the front cover some suitable quotation. ln those first years, the Poly had one little wreck of a hand press. yet the Polygraph came out when it was due. Throughout its seventeen and a half years, the Polygraph has stood for the best of ideals of student life and has been a means of aiding in the realization of many a students dream of success. From year to year. new students coming in have taken over the task of putting out the paper. and have worked faithfully to make it the best of school papers. This year an entirely new staff has published the Polygraph. A new record was set in the number of issues published and also in the regularity in which they came out. The members of the journalism class justly feel that they have accomplished something of which to be proud. Annual Stajjf The Polytechnic Annual is a product of the Polytechnic in its en- tirety. Ads are solicited. copy is written, printing and composing is done. many illustrations made. and the books bound by the students. and it is as good a job as any professional could do. Members of the journalism class. and several prominent students helped on the annual staff. Guy L. Troup acted as Editor-in-chief: Mabel Gates as Jokes edi- tor: Darrel Doolen as Senior class editor: David Dunn, arts editor: Marius Mathison, advertisingg Mrs. Klindt, athleticsg Lela Loyer. calendar: Phyrne Ridgway. departments: Kenneth Daley, traditions: and Mary Perry, organizations. Miss Johnson and her assistants from the library did the binding. Sylvester Hillyer acted as solicitor. The annual is one of the most cherished of keepsakes. for, in the years to come. it will bring us back to good times, hard work, days with friends, and all the other memories of our life at the Polytechnic.

D . if 1 Football History With but two regulars returning around whom to build the squad, Coach Klindt set about to build the Crusader team. The task was a hard one as very few boys answering the football call had much experience. The schedule ahead was a tough one against mostly veteran teams. The Crusaders' first game was against the Spearfish Normal in South Dakota, Saturday, October 15th. Much to the disappointment of the football fans at Poly, to say nothing about the Crusaders, the game was lost. Rain, snow, and mud hampered the entire week of practice and the Crusaders met Intermountain l'nion Panthers, October 22nd, and were defeated again. Practice continued for another week on a field far from perfect and the Crusaders met their third defeat. Some of the Montana State College future gridiron representatives, in the form of Bobkittens, administered a defeat to a fighting, but outclassed. Polytechnic eleven, October 29th. Poly showed a better fighting spirit than they did the week before against Intclmountain and were in the game fighting from the start to finish a- gainst great odds. Surcharged with that old do or die spirit, the Polytechnic eleven set out on their tour to Dillon for the game November llth with Montana Normal, with only one objective-to bring home the bacon in the form of a pigskin victory. Poly clicked for the first time of the season and Won with a score of 14-ti. The Crusaders uncorked an irresistible driving attack to roll up twenty first downs and 331 yards from their scrimmage against seven first downs and 113 yards gained by their opponents. The Crusaders set to work the following week to get in readiness for the game with the School of Mines at Butte on November 19th, which they lost. The Poly- ites played a clean game, did their best, but were simply outclassed. Although the 1932 Polytechnic Crusaders did not win the champion- ship of small colleges, and thereby gain praise and glory, they did play clean and honest football, and learned the value of sportsmanship, Whether it be found on the football field or in everyday life.

C'oaeh lilindt faced the task of building practically a new team as only one letter-man reported in the squad of twenty men. However. with eight days of praetiee the Crusaders took the floor against two inde- pendent teams, wiiming one by a lopsided score and losing the other by a few points. The first college game, January 13th, was against the Dillon Norinal which already had three college wins to its credit. Old Man Luck seemed against the Vrusaders for they lost by one point, 39-40. llenewing the rivalry of years, Poly met the ltlastern lXlontana Normal the following Wednesday on the latter's court. This game was the first of the two-game series to determine the city inter-collegiate champion- ship. The t'rusaders won -ll-35. Un the following Sunday Foach Klindt and his Crusaders left on their rfpatl trip through the western part of the state, where they met, Dillon Normal, School of Mines, lntermountain, and Varroll tlollege on succes- sive niglits. Regardless of the combinations used in the games, nothing seeiiietl to click and the C'rusaders dropped all four games by very close margins. Still playing inconsistant basketball the Crusaders met Billings De Malay independents, winning by at comfortable margin. The same week- end they met their old rivals. the Montana School of Miiies, and lost the game after a bitter fight. I lfrttin this point on the C'rusaders again hit their early season form and won from two lndependent teams before meeting Intermountain. Re- venge was sweet Polytechnic walked off the court, completely mastering lzitei mountain by a score of 5-1 to 35. A few days later the Billings Gazette independent team fell victim of the Cfrusaders with a score of 71-36. The tfity lnter-collegiate basketball flag was run up at Polytechnic 2 'aturday, February 25th, an invulnerable defense carried the Crusaders to their second straight victory over Eastern Montana Normal Yellow- jackets. lifter a few days of rest Polytechnic won from Billings Dehflolay 62- Qti and journeyed to Bear C'reek where they won from the strong Bear Freek Poisons. The final Intercollegiate game was played against Varroll t'ollege March 3rd, and again the Crusaders proved their superiority by winning 51-36. This marked the first victory over Carroll College in the history of athletics at Polytechnic. lt will be of interest to note that Polytechnic won the last, eight games of the season and by their defeats of Eastern Montana Normal. Inter- mountain, and Carroll College, took third place in the Montana Minor Vollege Conference. If the men who represented Polytechnic this year return next winter, the Frusaders should be in line for the championship of the small colleges of Montana. Page One H undred -, in Page One, Hundred .One Intramural Basketball The intensified plan of intra-mural basketball which Coach Klindt started last year for all, proved to be very successful and interesting this year. At the first call some fifty boys signed as being desirous of playing basketball. out of which five teams were organized, namely, Independents Farm, Kenney. Shop. and Tyler, with from six to eight players each. Prac tice games were held during the first two weeks so that the teams might be organized according to strength. Members of the varsity squad were not allowed to play in intra-mur al games. Thus the teams were kept fairly even in strength and fairness and interest increased. During the season an average of six games a week were played, the final round during the week of March 6tfh. Final Standings WON LOST PERCENTAGE Farm 10 Independents S Shop .

As the Annual goes to press the boys are hard at work and games are being scheduled between independent teams of the Midland Empire Track and Field Meets Every student has an opportunity to receive training in track and field events at the Billings Polytechnic Institute. While no inter-collegiate contests are held. yet much interest is aroused by the annual inter-society track meet. held this year on Founders' Day. June 1. The Pioneer Literary Society won this event. Another annual event is the Midland Empire Track and Field Meet for the high schools of the Midland Empire. Although the Polytechnic boys do not contest in this meet. they do find much to do in acting as sub officials for the day. A large trophy is always presented to the wiimer of the meet. and ribbons are given to the individual winners of each event Last year's meet was Won by Roundup High School. This year, with her veterans gone. and with a team composed mostly of sophomore and junior material. this school failed to be a serious contender for the title. Eleven teams were entered to contest for the trophy on May 20. a perfect day for a track meet. Seven records fell as the crack performers from Red Lodge. Billings. Belfry, and Bearcreek struggled to achieve fame for themselves and their schools. One state record---in the 100 yd. dash-was equalled by a flash from Belfry.

The lnoyS gvm team now took the floor, performing many ci tienlt movements on the bars, making pyramids, and working on the rings Then a eomic feature was introduced when the new boys of the school 1-nly recently entered on newly granted working scholarships, underwent a term of initiation, called the Battle of the Towels. Each boy was given a tnwel and a cup, blindfolded, and sent out on the floor to fight wi the others. The purpose of the cup was to provide a tuneful instrument by which they might knock on the floor to indicate to their friends then position in the battle.

Billings, Montana - -- -- J What is the graininatical structure of a kiss? A kiss is a pronoun because she stands for it. It is masculine and feminine, therefore coinmon. It is plural because one calls for another. It is singular because there is nothing else like it. Usually it is in apposition with a caress, at any rate it is sure to follow. It can be conjugated but never defined. However it is not an adverb because it cannot be compared, but it is a phrase expressing feeling. f. we--U -- -- + t PURITY For Lumber and Building We use it Material - - We serve it See We boost it ECONOMY Ask for it and you Will 1 boost it too LUMBER CO' Purity Bread Company Billings, Montana 4th Ave. a 23rd sr.
