DON'T FORGET
THE SENIOR PLAY.
MARCH 20.


This week the private life of
that tall blonde senior, Kenneth
Paulson, is exposed. He appears
quiet, but uses all of his energy
debating with friends at his favor
lite hangout, "Bert's" His hobby is
collecting cartoons and his pastirne
is dropping his tongue for his pet
food, fried oysters. Kenneth's am
bition is to become a diesel en-
gineer. When he finishes high
school, he hopes to get a job at
the mill and then save up enough
money so that he can travel as
much as his heart desires.
One couldn't be interviewed with
the other, SO we had to interview
Jean VinioD/ and Virginia Becarri
at the same time. They are as in
separable as can be, and they do
things almost alike. They both col
lect souvenirs as a hobby, want to
be successful nurses, and both girls
like chocolate cake as their favorite
food.
Virginia is the smaller of the two.
Her pastime is studying chemistry
and working at the Oasis. Her ia
vorite movie was you Can't Take

she has enjoyed school very much.
jeans pastime is fishing when
she isn't studying. Her favorite
movie is Dark Victory" and Bette
Davis and Spencer Tracy are her
favorite stars. Jean commented,

body; but people who are afraid to
say what they mean just get me-"

Music Notes

Last week the music departments
schedule was printed, and this week
an explanation of the School Mu-
sic Competition-Festivals will be
given.
In the last year through the COM
petition-festival movement note
worthy strides have made the Amer
lean public music conscious. The
aim of the movement is to correlate
the band, orchestra, and vocal activi-
ties. 1t is also the desire of the
three associations (band, orchestra,
and vocaD to provide the utmost
educational and inspirational values
to students in all parts of the United
States at minimum cost and great
est efficiency as possible.
Another very good point in the
competition-festival is that instead
of being compared with other
groups, the bands, orchestra, or glee
club is competing against standards,
and thus hard feelings are elimi-
mated. The grades are divided into
five different groups. Rating |
could be compared to a percentage
grade of IS to 100; rating II might be
compared to a grade of 81 to 95,
rating III is considered a grade of
80 to 81; rating w, and average per-
Torrance, is comparable to grade
of rs to 30, and; rating v needs much
room for improvement.
Since the state meet in Montana
is only for soloists and small en-
semble this year, school with a
first division rating at the district
meet lin Libby's case, held in Kel-
ispelD is eligible to enter the re-
gional meet at Spokane with Wash
Iington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and
Wyoming competing.

AT 8:l5 last Friday night, the

According to word received
here Tuesday from Willard E.
Fraser, manager of Montana
area No. 81 of the Census de-
partment, Big Horn county
made a population increase of
1,243 during the past ten years.
Thirty-three counties were in
cluded in Mr.. Fraser's report,
and only five of them showed
gains. The largest was in Vel
lowstone county, which has TO-
305 more people now than it
had in 1880.
Mr.. Fraser asks all persons
in this area who have not been
enumerated to get in touch with
his office, PIT Fratt building in
Billings at once.
He pointed out that the fig
ureS which were released this
week are preliminary and are
subject to change. He accounted
for the decrease in many of the
counties by saying that drouth
conditions during the past ten
years have caused many people
to migrate.
