RODEO — 193 i 23 Catttp Jfin' (bids ABOUT the fifth week of school M’ss Knutson announced that she would organize a group of camp fire girls and that all freshmen girls inter- ested should leave their names with her. Many of the girls reported and the quota was soon filled. Later some girls drop- ped out, thus making it possible to take some sophomore girls into the club. At the first meeting the girls joined the National organization and named their group the Snowy Mountain Chap- ter. Wednesday was set aside as the day for their regular meetings. Before Christmas the girls gathered and repaired old toys and dressed old dolls for the poor children of the com- munity. These toys were given to the Mothers Club for distribution. The first Ceremonial meeting was held on January 21. During February the girls worked for the required honors. Looms were made out of cigar boxes and upon these the beaded head bands were woven. Each girl made herself a head band. Because of the warm weather in Feb- ruary the girls took a hike in the hills near Roundup. At the ceremonial meeting on Febru- ary 18, Jennie Knoll became the first wood gatherer. She also was the first girl to order her Ceremonial gown. By the third ceremonial meeting held on March 1, many of the girls had ranked as wood gatherers. Mothers’ Council was held by the Snowy Mountain Chapter in April. The new members (those who entered late) also took their ranks during this month. As soon as the weather became warm enough all the meetings were held out- of-doors. The girls learned to do many useful things. Some of these are: how to blaze a trail and track; how to cook on an open fire and bean hole; and first aid treatment.

RODEO— 193 i 25 I llmtm IWttmnisiute Francesco Winstonioque Consulibus INASMUCH AS this year marks the two-thousandth anniversary of the birth of Virgil, Rome’s greatest and best poet, many of the meetings of the Latin Club held the first semester were devoted to a study of Rome’s poet laur- eate. The celebrations being held throughout the world in his honor were noted, his life was reviewed, and selec- tions from his works were read and discussed. Virg’l’s works portray much of the life and customs of the ancient Romans, so, in studying them, there was opportunity for Latin Club members to contrast the activities of the Romans with the modern method of working, playing, and living generally. It was found that the Romans were real peo- ple, capable of much enjoyment and much appreciation of the better things of life. They managed conveniences and luxuries which seem amazing in view of the hundreds of years which have elapsed since their civilization was at its peak. The most outstanding event of the first semester was the Christmas pro- gram which was put on before the high school assembly and in which every member of the Latin Club took some part. Christmas songs in many lang- uages and a Christmas pageant were features of this program. At the re- quest of the club, Reverend Louis Ort- mayer gave a greatly appreciated ad- dress on Christmas customs. During the last few weeks of the year the programs were made interesting through the introduction of a contest. The Latin Club was divided into three groups: those taking first year Latin, those taking Caesar, and the upper classmen, who have finished Latin. Each of the groups worked enthusiastically in an effort to produce the best program. As a result, each group did well, and the programs were varied in nature and content. The annual banquet which the Club always has will be held May 12. This banquet is th biggest affair of the sea- son in Latin (Tmb activities and the mem- bers always try to make each banquet a little better than the one of the pre- vious year. In lieu of the danc'ng party which is usually held in the high school gymnasium, a February picnic was en- joyed this year. The Latin Club all bundled into eight cars and went out north-east of town. A very enjoyable time was reported, and there were few mishaps. When the school year is over, every one in the Latin Club will have many happy memories of the activities of the year. Cuiusvis hominis est errare; nullus, nisi insapientis, in errore perseverare.
