It is traditional that the Normal College have a (Jo twice each year. One is held in the summer, and the other early in the fall. On these occasions the students and the faculty get together and go outside the city, usually to one of the canyons around Dillon. Here, climbing up among the many-colored rocks in the narrow canyons, they have an opportunity to enjoy Beaverhead's beautiful scenery. The weather as well as the Go” has become traditional. It always snows or rains, but it takes more than that to spoil a good time for a lot of Normal College students. This year's autumn Go was unlike others that had gone before in that the students did not “go.” The place chosen was Dillmont Park. Cars furnished by the Dillon Kotarians took the students to the park where a huge bonfire was blazing to greet them. Some of the students and faculty played football, baseball, and volley ball to keep warm, while others sat by the fire. The best time of the afternoon was when every one got in line for his lunch box and hot coffee. Later, every one gathered around the fire and sang until the orchestra, furnished by the Kotarians, arrived. Normal graduates of earlier years can scarcely believe that for once Normal” girls danced at Dillmont Park and were not interviewed by either the President or the Dean. —19—
