Girls ' League. Can ' t you just imagine an old fashioned south- ern home with Caroline presiding with grace and dignity over a company of distinguished guests with powdered wigs ? With her unequaled smile and her quiet, charming manner, this member of the class is a second Betsy Ross. She makes one of the stable pillars upon which it rests. But whether she presides over a home or an office, we all know too well to even mention the ex- cellent characteristics that she will bring to hex- work. Joe Harvey Preputin General Course This tall, good-natured lad, who looks like Ichabod Crane crossing a prairie when he is try- ing to break a few speed records for getting home to lunch, is about the most interesting conversa- tionalist in the class. He is not the kind with the gift of continuous gab, but he has that in- definable something that makes men great. He took a fling at football, but something was always flinging itself at him with the result that he was on the injured list too often to win the coveted letter. But he doesn ' t need a football reputation to become popular : his own crowd couldn ' t stage a party without him, and the way they flock for his rattley Ford looks like the call of the wild. Flora Elizabeth Jones General Course Girls ' League; Basketball ll, 2, 3) ; Music Club (3, 4); Girls ' Athletic Association (4); Hi- Life (4) ; Business Club (4); Frolic (3). Though she says she is no relation to John Paul Jones, it may be said of Flora that she has just begun to fight. We don ' t say this because she plans on getting married, but because it has been only in her last years at school that she began to show us her real worth. She is a work- er par-excellent ; that is, when she works she works hard, quite an uncommon trait in a high school student. And did you ever catch a gleam of her quiet humor? Probably not, for only those who know her well have detected it. Ethel Eileen Fifer Commercial Course Girls ' League; Business Club (4); Girls Ath- letic Association (4) ; Hi-Life Typist (4) ; Home Economics Club (1, 2, 4). Little, but Oh my ! and such a conglomeration of good qualities. All through high school Eileen ' s laughter and commonsense have been a source of encouragement to her friends. She knows how to work, play, enjoy herself, and help others to en- joy themselves. She is small, but quality makes up for the quantity. Always willing to help where she can and do her share in the world, she has become one of the most popular students of the high school.

Fitzgerald Stevlingson Fay Ione Fitzgerald General Course Entered from Power (3) : Girls ' League; Home Economics Club (4). Quiet, modesty and industry are the prime features of Fay. It was a loss to Power High School and a gain of G. F. H. S. when she de- cided to transfer in her junior year. During the short time she has been with the class, she has made a reputaion for earnestness that will stand for some time. Look at her again ; do you think that she makes a charming hostess or fills the better half of a love plot? But that is just it. The first refers to the house parties that have taken place at her ranch, and the other to — well, never mind. She has accepted her honors quietly, and we suspect that her real self has never been fully revealed. Donald M. Stevlingson General Course Track |2, 3. 41 ; Tech. Club (2,3). Track coaches strive to develop many char- acteristics in their proteges, and one of the most important of these is form. Form, just a small word, means a lot, and it ' s just what Don has, nothing but, on the tra ck. For three years he has been one of the bright lights of the class team and helped win the county championship in ' 25. Besides going to Missoula for two years on the team, his most important achievements are his revelations to the physics class. These have been anything but sensational ; but, seeing his picture above, you can probably conclude that they were at least passing. i i y ' i Walker Clifford Irwin Walker General Course Entered from Power (2) ; Glee Club (3, 4 I. Stay away, girls, until you ' re invited. Clif seldom invites girls, as he admits he is not a ladies ' man, though the reason is still a mystery. This blonde-haired lad is another one of the few seniors who have been lucky enough to get a 95 in physics ; but that is only a sample of his other grades, as he is also known as a whiz in nearly every subject he has taken. He came in from Power to finish his school work, and we think it has been our gain. The only weakness he is known to possess is a tendency to wear loud col- ored sweaters, which are truly eye-exasperating objects. George C. Read General Course Football 12, 3. 4i; Basketball (3); Track (1, 2, 3( ; Glee Club (4t ; Montana Interscholastic Music Meet (41. Four years ago an insignificant freshman with nothing at his command but a deep voice and a deeper chest started in with the class, and now the class is proud to say that he is still with it. though the time for parting has come. George may or may not be English, as accused, but his ready wit will testify in the negative. Thi s wit has become something for students to enjoy and teachers to dread. It has helped him bluff past many obstacles in the way of hard lessons. You should hear him tell in his deep, rich tones, what Columbus did to make Armenia safe for starving Scandinavians. WW Tm !

Johnston Jean W. Johnston General Course Girls ' League; Music Club (2); Art Club (2). Now one of our prides steps in. You have never read her name in the scandal columns and you never will. She is the pride of every teacher that ever taught her. and certainly reflects train- ing. She once played a part in a play as a girl of the early fifties, but it doesn ' t suit her at all — she is too modern for that. She helped make the Frolic the success it was, and in every other ac- tivity she has always been willing to help out for the good of the class and school. Lowell Aitchison Holtz Scientific Course Another of the those smart Holtz boys, is what everyone says about Lowell. His name was never in the headlines for excelling in athletics, he has never been known as a social lion, with a way with the girls, but his fellow classmen regard him as a steady, often brilliant worker, who may always be depended upon. There are other prof- itable organizations in the school besides the Let- termen ' s club and the N. G. and to these Lowell has turned much of his time. He belongs to that group of quiet fellows who, some people fear, are not getting the most possible benefits out of G. F. H. S., but appearances are deceiving. Don ' t be deceived. Eyelyx M. C. Le Febvke Commercial Course Girls League; Business Club (4). Although we do not know her so well as we should like to, there is much to be said about this active young lady. The region about her locker is never a lonely place when Ev. is there because there are always at least two or three young swains trying to attract her attention and keep it. Did you ever see her when she wasn ' t in a hurry ? That ' s why she is succeeding, for she has down to a science the knack of getting things done pronto. Abbjle Catherine Francis General Course Entered from Bowdoin High School (8) ; Girls ' League: Music Club (4 l : Orchestra (3, 4). Abbie has set out on the path of the violinist, and has made a flying start, in her two years here. She is one of the students who helped, by the mastery of the fiddle, to bring the state championship in music to G. F. H. S. She can always be depended upon to do a task, regard- less of its nature, how and when it is supposed to be done. We have learned this of her in the short time that she has been with the class, which holds no fears for her future.
