And A Good Time Was Had By All

For 5 days and nights last January, the M.S.U. Field Flouse was alive with the sounds of pounding hammers, roaring chainsaws, straining muscles, earth shaking yells, lively music, and the tapping of the can can girls dancing feet— the reason?— Why the Montana Foresters were putting on the greatest social event on the University Campus! The theme for this year’s ball was "America’s Range Resource’.’ Following this theme, the decorations consisted of a complete "Wild West” western town along one side of the dance floor and 2000 Douglas Fir trees, cut dur­ ing the fall, around the rest of the floor. Dance series were announced by buf­ falo, cattle, and bronc riders, (the numbers branded on the animals sides) thundering across the length of the field house above the trees and band. 700 couples attended the ball, which ran two consecutive nights and fea­ tured as guest of honor, Irvin "Shorty” Shope. Shope, who has been painting for the Forestry School, a series of 10 ft. x 6 ft. oil paintings, depicting the development of Forest and Range Management in Montana, unveiled his last picture of the series during the intermission program. The intermission program also featured the beard contest winners, a costume contest, a shaving contest between a straight razor and an electric razor, the Forester’s Glee Club, and the Delta Gamma Can Can girls. Altogether about 4000 man hours went into making the 1958 Forester’s Ball one of the best in its 41 year history. Setting Up and Convocation

The setting up is of course much work, but it is also fun and most amazing to see how quickly the Field House is transformed. Con­ vocation ends Boondock Days with rousing entertainment.
