(Liable of Contents: Of dm ini s Ira lion v Seniors v ifnde rcla ssmen Organizations (Parents •Ju i . fc : S each year rolls by and another class graduates from Beav- erhead County High School, people seldom stop and think of all the work of preparing even one person for graduation. Few students finish school merely by their own efforts; behind them are relatives, friends, teachers, and above all, parents, who give immeasurable aid. It was our parents who started us to kindergarten and carefully watched our progress through these twelve years of school, who spent hours helping us when we just couldn’t do arithmetic and later when we didn’t understand algebra or geometry. It was mom or dad who reminded us about homework when we were planning to go to a show. Thanks to careful planning on their part we bad the proper food to eat, good health, and warm clothing, so that we could attend school each day and receive a complete education. In our years of high school, many of us would have given up when the going was tough, but our parents stood close by us, opening the way, pointing out the advantages we were receiving and showing how important edu- cation was. When the character of a student is noted to be outstanding, just stop and think that if this person had not grown up in a happy home, with proper supervision and guidance, his chances for a successful life would have been very different. We have no way of showing our parents howr great our appreciation for them really is. Sometimes in our haste we may have offended their helping hand, but our hope is—that in our lives, our every act will make them proud of us and help repay them for all the big things and all the little things that have meant so much to us. As you turn the pages of this annual may you hear them echoing our thanks and everlasting gratitude. Glass of cM.ine.lten GHundred GForiij-mne forward E may not be well remembered as the years pass by at Beaverhead County High, but we will never for- get our days here, how we passed through the halls, talking and laughing, sat in the classrooms whispering, giggling, and some- times studying. Our hearts now’ are filled with pride and love of our school, when once—as we entered for the very first time back in 45—there w7as fear and uncertainty. We remember the happy moments spent among cheerful companions; the new faces each year; the old faces with the happy expres- sion of eager anticipation that is so typical of our students; our teachers, music and dramatic directors, and class sponsors who worked untiringly for our benefit; the rousing assemblies and class yells; songs we sang, the cheerleaders and pep club in action; the band at pep assemblies priming us for the games to follow; the games themselves, and the willing boys who fought and played so hard to bring ath- letic fame to our Beaverhead High. The most quiet and shy ones of us have experi- enced the glorious feeling of belonging at a pep rally or a basketball game. Our petty love affairs have blossomed and faded like morning glories. We have experienced tragedies in our schooLJife. for w’hat greater tragedy is there than a girl without a date the night before the prom or a boy missing the deciding shot of a basketball game and looking into the hollowr smiles of his team-mates? People outside seldom realize the drama that takes place in a high school every second of the day. Each of us suddenly realizes, writh tears in our eyes and a lump in our throat, that never again will wre feel the pure joy of being a member of the student body of B.C.H.S. But we are lucky that in our four years here we have gathered suffi- cient memories and enough joy to last a lifetime. Nothing will ever replace the loyal friendships, hours of joy, and pride that we have known here. May this book which binds us all to- gether, show7 to us, our school-mates, and others, the true spirit of Beaverhead County High School. I L ll Success to the (3la ss of V9 N a world of tumult, concerned by the horror of what tomorrow may bring to civilization, it is of healthy impact to observe that human- ity goes on planning with a faith and a hope undaunted- This hope and this faith lies in our educational system. Our educational program is committed to the principle that all children are entitled to receive an equitable education regardless of social or economic status. Today’s educational program is also committed to the principle of making education a continuous process, rather than a few short years. Every citizen has a right to expect that the schools will do certain things for the youth of the community. We, as citizens, face a common destiny. Therefore, it becomes our common duty to prepare for this common des- tiny. The only medium through which this can be done is the public school. Education seeks to prepare people to recognize the age-old problems of humanity and to supply the key to the solution of our economic and social problems. Education seeks to keep alive within the individual the courage to believe in the future and meet it with confidence. May success be yours throughout the coming years. Principal. ike Seniors OU are about to gradu- ate from Beaverhead County High School. As one of your sponsors, I hope that you will always look back upon your school days spent here with pleasant mem- ories, as time well spent for your preparation for life, as a citizen of a community, state and nation. We worked together, played together, and had our problems to “iron- out” and solve. We live in a great country, and have a government of which you are a part. We have an abundance of natural resources, and in the nation as a whole, a high standard of living. But with all this, we have our problems. Production is still a problem, but not as great a prob- lem as our ability to use all the products made by machinery run at its maximum capacity. The problem of world peace is still unsolved. Traffic- accidents are still too high. Crime and juvenile delinquency are still problems, and many others. We have had great problems in the past, we have them now, and doubtless will have them in the future. For those of you that wish to continue your formal education, we have a great number of educational institutions. There you can obtain the kind of education and training of your own choosing, to help you in your task of solving your problem, and in making a living. Upon you and others like you depends the future progress that we may have, and a more abundant life. To all of you, frankly and sincerely, not just as a teacher, but as a citizen and neighbor of your community, I wish you the best—of good luck, happiness, and living that our country can obtain.

We held our first class meeting September 5 and elected the following officers: President, Bob Banks; Vice President, Chester Downing; Secretary, Mary Ann White; Treas- urer, Mary Beth Smith: Yell Leader, Bob Rut- ledge; Student Council Representative, Dolores Davis; Rec Center Committee, Kay Whitworth and Clara Nelson. The upper classmen delighted in initiating us. The girls were required to wear boys' overalls backwards and the boys, bathing suits over longhandles. The climax of initiation was the freshman mixer, September 7, at which time we were officially sworn into high school by Joanne Shaw of the sophomore class. As we entered our second year we were a little braver and much more dignified. Our class officers were President, Denton Hughes; Vice President, Glen Hayden; Secretary, Tanya Johnson; Treasurer, Henry Richardson; Yell Leader, Beverly Tucker: Student Council Rep- resentatives, Dolores Davis and Bob Banks. Our activities started off with the customary initiation of the freshmen, and we welcomed them at the annual freshman mixer. On Octo- ber 13 we sponsored a dance and raffled off a lovable lamb named “Cuddles.” Money was needed to build Beaver Lodge so we gave a basket «ocial after the Deer Lodge football game, all profits being turned over to the Rec Center. An orchestra composed of members of our own class furnished the music. The “B” Club was considerably enlarged when six of our classmates, Elroy Westad, Jim Johnson, Bob Banks, Bill Hillstead. John Peterson, and Bill Brown were initiated. Ann Carroll and Tanya Johnson became members of National Honorary Society. Upper Classmen, at last! We started our junior year with 51 members. Officers for the year were President, Bill Brown; Vice Presi- dent, Jim Burt; Secretary, Dolores White; Treasurer. Ann Carroll; Yell Leader, Beverly Tucker: Student Council Representatives, Do- lores Davis, Beryl Carroll and Frances Giudici. Serving on the Beaver Lodge Committee were Tanya Johnson and Henry Richardson. On October 10, we sponsored a barn dance after the St. Pete’s game. We gave our first play, a salon production, “January Thaw,” on February 9, 10, 11. This enabled Mary Beth Smith, Bonnie Martin, Tanya Johnson, Dolores White, Donald Jones and John Peterson to be initiated into National Thespians. At the annual Harvest Ball, Sherrie Lugar was crowned queen. Money was our main problem in connection with the Junior Prom, so we gave a St. Patrick's Day dance on March 17 to raise money. On May 1 we held the annual prom, with the appropriate theme. May Day. Mary Beth Smith, John Peter- son, Frances Giudici, and Raymond Simon were initiated into National Honor Society. Five more members of our class, Jim Burt, Chester Downing, Donald Jones, Bob Davis, and John Ward, were accepted into the “B” Club. We also contributed six new members to Quill and Scroll. They were Bonnie Martin, Mary Beth Smith, Dolores White, Virginia Gransbery, Ann Carroll and John Peterson. We returned to school September 7 to begin our reign as mighty seniors. Our governing body consisted of Bill Brown as President; Kathryn Jakovac as Vice President; Dolores White as Secretary; Marion Camp as Treasurer; Betty Lou Lugar. Mary Beth Smith, Henry Richardson and Lester Sage as Student Council Representatives; and Dolores Davis and Frances Giudici on the Beaver Lodge Central Committee. Our class was well represented in the Student Council with Bill Brown as President; Jim Burt as Vice President: Frances Giudici as Treasurer; John Peterson as Business Manager; and Do- lores White as Yell Queen. Mary Beth Smith and John Peterson took over their job as co- editors of the Beaver. On September 25 we gave our senior class dance, decorating Beaver Lodge in our class colors, blue and white. At the annual F.F.A. Harvest Ball we were again represented when Dolores Davis was selected queen. January 24, 25, marked the date of our senior play, “Growing Pains.” This added five members, Rosie Zugel, Peggy Lovell, Do- lores Davis, Bob Davis, and Marion Camp, to Thespians. Again another classmate, Henry Richardson, suffered, as he was initiated into the “B” Club. John Ward was elected as cap- tain of the football team. Co-captains of the basketball team were Jim Johnson and Elroy Westad. On February 27, Dolores Davis was elected Ski Queen at the Elkhorn Ski Carnival, enabling her to go to Whitefish to attend the National Ski Meet. Dolores White was selected by the faculty for the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award. A major undertaking of the annual staff has been this book. As our final year draws to a close, we plan to carry out the usual customs of Senior Sneak Day and a Senior Dinner Dance, and be honor guests at the Junior Prom. Of our original sixty-four Freshmen that entered school in the fall of '45 only thirty-six have remained to graduate, May 26. Additions through the four years have brought the total of the graduating class up to forty-five. These additions includ Mary Griffith, Walter Svetich. Elroy Westad Dolores White. Pat Bartzen. John Ward, Dale Buckingham, Dan Scott and Margaret Weidman. Our thanks and appreciation go to Miss Virginia Irvine and Mr. William Bierrum, who have faithfully served as our sponsors through our four years, also to Mr. Earl Allen, who served as another sponsor during our junior year.

After a week of this, they stagad a public evening program and performed unusual stunts, and were led in the oath by Denton Hughes, sophomore president. The annual mixer dance followed. The “baby class” elected Eddie Davis, Dan Scott, Marjorie Ward, and Charles Hendron as officers. At tournament time they sold rose corsages and gave the proceeds to the recreation center. A Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, a bright spot in the year’s activities, was one of their projects. As sophomores they elected Bill Tash as president; Eddie Davis, vice president; Kenette Kenison, secretary; Marjorie Ward, cheer leader; and Nora Jean French and John Hovren to serve on student council. The class sponsored a Claudia Faust Memorial Alcove in the library. Mrs. Faust, before her death, was a sophomore sponsor. During the football season, they won first prize in a noise rally. A huge success was the Masquerade Ball, the first event to take place in the new Beaver Lodge. Winning prizes for costumes were Bob Rutledge and Bernard Wenger, hillbillies; Pat Sanderford, a Chinese lady; Joel Hillstead, a bride, and Ed Thompson, a Hawaiian belle. A tragic car accident took the life of a classmate, Barbara Hayes. Their contribution to the tournament was selling bal- loons and flowers. Sam and Ed Davis were elected to membership in the National Honor Society. A year later, joined by Jim Orr, George Crump, and Dan Dennis, they elected as offi- cers: Sam Davis, president; Jim Orr, vice presi- dent; Marjorie Lane, secretary-treasurer; Ber- nard Holloran, yell leader; Sam Davis, Chuck Hendron, and Hazel Davis on the student coun- cil; Ed Davis and Kenette Kenison on the Beaver Lodge committee. The class was hon- ored with the election of Marjorie Lane as Student Association secretary. Bill Tash was chosen to lead the Ski Club for the second time. The school thanked the Juniors for a gay fall dance, exciting with confetti, horns, and dance contests. Members of the class starred on both basketball and football team. Jim Orr and Eddie Davis were chosen as co-captains for next years’ grid team. Two girls, Marjorie Ward and Shirley Henneberry, were lost through marriage. Mrs. A. E. Owens was the lucky winner of a beautifully embroidered pil- low case raffled by the class. Marjorie Lane, Nora Jean French, and Sam Davis pulled down first, second and third prize respectively in the American Legion Auxiliary essay contest. “Summer Comes to the Diamond O,” a play- cast mostly from junior boys, performed at the Montana-On-Parade Program in Helena. April 11 and 12 found them on the stage presenting “What a Life,” the original Henry Aldrich play. As their third year slipped away they planned an “Arabian Nights,” theme of a beautiful and successful Junior Prom. Mrs. Alma Orman and Mr. A. W.

The trophy case is bulging with trophies won by the Beavers. In 1943 the football team was lowered in standing from Class “A” to Class “B,” as competition is much more keen in the larger schools. A small school is hindered greatly by the lack of substitutes. Since 1943 the Beavers have won divisional championships three times. Although the ’48 Beavers had a poor season, the experience they gained will prove of value in the future. Sportsmanship, drive and eager- ness to play was displayed by the team. The team was captained by John Ward, a brilliant backfielder, the backbone of the team. The season ended with an impressive banquet, where letters were awarded to the following: John Ward (captain), Bill Brown, Elroy Westad, Jim Burt, Chester Downing, Henry Richardson, Sam Davis, Ed Davis, Jim Orr, Chuck Hendron, Darwin Phillips, Bob Rouse, Jim Murray, Leroy Owen, Ed Thompson, Dan Dennis, Jack Howard, and Ronald Kenison. Co-captains elected for next yeaer were Jim Orr and Ed Davis. The Beavers have always been a fighting team and we are sure they will continue in the future to fill the trophy case.

The band under the direc- tion of Joe Smith made their first appearance of the year at the Dillon Ro- deo. This was followed by their presence at all the football and basketball games which added pep and color to the cheering sec- tion. At band show per- formances Marion Camp was Drum major. They save a successful concert Janu- ary 11 and another in the spring, May 17. They par- ticipated in the district music meet in Anaconda. One of the highlights of the year was going to Butte to play at the tournament. A band show was given hon- ing each competing team. During the divisional tour- nament here they added much to the games by play- i n g appropriate numbers during the halves and be- tween games. The last night of the tournament they put on a delightful Irish band show. They responded to outside calls by playing at the Armistice Day program, breaking of the ground cer- emony on the depot lawn, and between acts of the Junior play. Also under the direction of Joe Smith is the High School Orchestra. The or- chestra took part in the win- ter concert. Five of the members played in the all- state orchestra in Great Falls. These were Kathryn Cardinale. Jim Martinell, Sam Davis, Marion Camp and Kenette Kenison. Other public performances were the spring concert, music before and between acts of the Senior class play and last but not least the famil- iar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” as the sen- iors came down the aisle in their caps and gowns for graduation.
