THE CLASS OF '50 BEAVERHEAD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Presents BEAVERHEAD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL Foreword Dear Reader: With the publishing of this book, we are finishing many hours of labor which we consider well spent. We believe that in years to come, this book will be worth ten times the actual cost. In this Beaver, we have brought together the many clubs and activities that made high school life interesting and bearable. It is our sincere wish that in future years this book will bring to mind many vivid experiences of our high school days. ADMINISTRATION SENIORS UNDERCLASSMEN Signed, Charles Hendron Editor ACTIVITIES EXTRAS Dedication We, the seniors of nineteen hundred fifty, proudly dedicate our yearbook to our friend and adviser, Principal D. L. Johnson. We have admired Clancy, as he is affectionately called, in his rare ability to combine the qualities of sincere friendliness, confi- dence, leadership and respect. Although this book may be inadequate to express our appreciation to our PRINCIPAL, we extend our gratitude for his able and understanding guidance through our four years at Beaverhead County high school. $n OfpprecuiHon The senior class is greatly Indebted to Miss Virginia Irvine lor her help and guidance in preparing the Annual of 1950. Due to her past experience with such work, she was an invaluable asset to the class. Charles Hendron, ambitious and hard-working editor of the 1950 Annual, may have had a difficult time in getting workers and material for the book, but he deserves credit for his accomplishments.

S. George Pettit and Jules Wenger, the two custodians of our high school, are to be highly praised for their work in keeping the building in such excellent condition. They sometime work from early morning until late in the evening to accomplish their well- done job. TO THE SENIORS: Democracy is on trial. The United States and other members of the United Nations are engaged in a mighty struggle to see that it shall survive. Here in America we have achieved and are still achiev- ing a high level of living, of comfort and luxury, which the rest of the world envies. We have less than 7 per cent of the world's pop- ulation, but we own and enjoy more than 40 per cent of the world's wealth and income. We have freedom in a sense unknown to any other country in the world, opportunity for growth and development, a wider and more equal distribution of the good things in life. It is your duty as loyal Americans to take an active part in preserving, promoting and developing our great heritage of freedom and demo- cracy. HELEN ANDRUS Home Economics B. A.

We were the last class to be initiated in the war paint fashion. We had a public evening program and performed stunts, and were led in the oath by Denton Hughes, sophomore president. The mixer dance followed. At our first class meeting we elected Ihe following officers: president, Ed Davis, vice-president, Dan Scott; secretary-treasuier, Marjorie Ward; Student Council representative, Charles Hendron. At tournament time we sold rose corsages and gave the proceeds to build Beaver Lodge. On April 18, 1947, we sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance. Anna Jane Caldwell and Dan Dinwoodie won prizes in the Auxiliary essay contest. As sophomores we elected Bill Tash as president; Ed Davis, vice-president; Kenette Kenison, secretary; Marjorie Ward, cheerleader; Nora Jean French and John Hovren as Student Council representatives. Our activities started off with the initiation of the freshmen, and the annual freshman mixer. We sponsored a Claudia Faust memorial alcove in the library. Mrs. Faust, before her death, was a sponsor of our class. A huge success was the Masquerade Ball on November 21, 1947, the first event to take place in the new Beaver Lodge. A tragic car accident took the life of our classmate, Barbara Lee Hayes. We contributed to the tournament by selling baloons and flowers. Sam and Ed Davis were elected to membership in the National Honor Society. Roscoe Pilon was accepted into the B Club. Our junior year was an active one. We were joined by Jim Orr and Dan Dennis. Officers for the year were: Sam Davis, president; Jim Orr, vice- president; Marjorie Lane, secretary-treasurer; Bernard Holloran, yell leader; Sam Davis, Charles Hendron and Hazel Davis on the Student Council; Ed Davis and Kenette Kenison on the Beaver Lodge committee. Jim Orr and Ed Davis were chosen co-captains for next year’s grid team. Two girls, Marjorie Ward and Shirley Henneberry, were lost through marriage. Mrs. A. E. Owens was the winner of a beautifully embroidered pair of pillow cases, raffled to raise money for the Prom. We sponsored a gay fall dance. April 11-12 found us on the stage presenting our first play, ''What a Life, the original Henry Aldrich play. On April 30, we held the annual Junior Prom, with Arabian Nights as the theme. Marjorie Lane Nora Jean French and Sam Davis pulled down first, second and third prizes, respectively, in the American Legion Auxiliary essay contest. Summer Comes to the Diamond O, a western play, cast mostly from junior boys, was performed at the Montana-on-Parade pro- gram in Helena. Nora Jean French, John Hovren and Charles Hendron were initiated into the National Honor Society. The following were elected into National Thespians: Claire Blackburn, Jim Orr, Roscoe Pilon, Russell Peterson, Ed Davis, Anna Jane Caldwell, Bill Tash, Darlene Goodfeilow, Ray Hildreth, Dan Scott, John Hovren, Sam Davis, Kenette Kenison and Charles Hendron. Nine more members, Ed Davis, Sam Davis, Dan Dennis, Charles Hendron, Jack Howard, LeRoy Owens, Jim Orr, Jim Murray and Darwin Phillips, were accepted into the B Club. We also contributed seven new members to Quill and Scroll. They were: Darlene Goodfeilow, Marjorie Lane, Mary Joe Wenger, Kenette Kenison, Bonnie Megquire, Kathryn Cardinale and Billie Lessey. Dan Scott graduated with the class of 1949. We entered our senior year with freshmen bowing down to the Honorable Seniors. For officers we chose: Jim Orr as president; Sam Davis, vice-president; Bonnie Megquire, secretary; John Hovren, treasurer; Shirlee Hubbard, Beaver Lodge representative. We were well represented in the Student Council with Bill Tash as president; Jim Orr, vice-president, and Marjorie Lane, secretary. Shirlee Hubbard was a member of the class. Marjorie Lane and Bill Tash took over their job as co-editors of the Beaver. At the annual FFA Harvest Ball, Bonnie Megquire was crowned queen. Christmas brought us a new member, Nell Avery. Hazel Davis left us through marriage. Our class play, Home Sweet Homicide, had been planned for February 20-21, but due to a flu epidemic which took most of the cast, it was postponed until February 29-March 1. Nora Jean French was selected by the faculty to receive the DAR Good Citizenship Award. At a Green and Gold Ball, sponsored by the L. D. S. Church, Shirlee Hubbard was crowned queen. A major project of this year was this annual. As our final year draws to a close, we plan to carry out the usual custom of Senior Sneak Day Dinner Dance, and to be honor guests at the Junior Prom. Of our original sixty-two freshmen who entered school in the fall of 1946, only thirty-eight have remained to graduate May 26. Additions through the four years have brought the total of the graduating class up to forty-six members. BEFORE AFTER SENIORS First row. left to right: Shirlee Hubbard.

They are met by an elderly Chinese who tells them he has been expecting them. Conway is fascinated by the strange atmosphere of the place and by Helen, a lovely girl, whom he finds there. Barnard, the big and breezy American, is delighted to stay on indefinitely and Miss Brinklow, the prickly little missionary lady, doesn't intend to specify just where she will serve the Lord. But Mallinson is eager to be out of the place and on his way back to civilization. In the moving scene—The High Lama reveals to Conway the secret of the place—that people do not grow old there and that Shangri-La is dedicated to preserving the culture and wisdom of the past, the storms of the war shall have passed. Conway learns too, that Lo-Ten, who seems so young and lovely, is really almost a hundred years old. There is a climactic scene in which Conway reveals this to Mallinson, who is in love with the exquisite Chinese girl and means to take her away when they leave. In a conclusion of the magnetic power, Conway is torn between his faith in Shangri-La and his love for Helen and the claims of Mallinson. On May 1st and 2nd, the junior class of Beaverhead County High School presented Lost Horizon, a three-act play by James Hilton.

A small group when first organized in 1946 has steadily grown in membership. The ski team last season was made up of Larry Redmond, Russel Peterson, Bob Smith and Bill Tash. This group and other members of the club attended the Beaverhead Snow Carnival held in the early spring. The club also took part in the Elkhorn Invitational Meet, January 28 and 29, in which some of the members placed. The purpose of the Ski Club is to interest more students in the future to the call of the slopes. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Qirls’ Oftkletics Girls' basketball started this year with a turnout of 28 girls from the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. This is the first time in eight years girls have played in a tournament. Under the sponsorship of Nell Avery, teams were picked representing their classes, to play in an intramural tournament every Monday night at the gym, with the winner playing a college girls team. Members of the team are—Freshmen: Verona Nettick, Shirley Watson, Shirley Dodd, Jeanette Watkins, Lourene Walker, Dorothy Sorenson. Sophomores: Louise Piazzola, Nancyann Peterson, Beverly Bough, Dorene Flitton, Noreen Hubbard, Carol Svetich. Juniors: Elsita Rouse, Joy Simpson, Peggy Wenger, Mildred Flickenger, Pat Sanderford, Rosemary Tyro. Seniors: Darlene Goodfellow, Kenette Kenison, Nell Avery, Gladys Burkholder, Jo Anne Arbour and Elizabeth Brown. TUMBLING TEAM One of the most outstanding features of girls sports this year was the excellent tumbling team, under the direction of Miss Burkholder, performing at the basket- ball and football games. This year is the first year the girls have had a tumbling team and should be congratulated on their fine work and their cooperation which leads to better sports- manship. Their excellent pyramid building showed the perfect example of their cooperation which thrilled the audiences to great wonder. Individual members are: Elsita Rouse and Pat Sanderford, co-captains; Shirley Dodd, Verona Nettick, Shirley Watson, Jo Anne Arbour, Kenette Kenison, La Verne Waldemare, Mona Pope, Jennette Watkins, Arietta Wright, Nancyanne Peterson, Marjorie Stantz, Charlotte Williss and Sharon Stocks. BADMINTON This year the girls' physical education classes played a round-robin badmin- ton tourney. Competition was great in each class, which gave the tournament a thrilling climax. The classes were divided in teams of two members each, and four to a set. Jeanette Watkins and Laurene Walker, winners of the freshman class, played the sophomore winners, Elaine Anderson and Dorene Flitton, in the finals. Elanie and Dorene won by a small margin. Nellie Avery and Elsita Rouse challenged the winners to a match, coming out with the laurels. GIRLS' BOWLING TEAM Formation of a girls high school bowling league has at last been accomplished. In the short time since it has been set up, interest has been gathered and bowling promises to become a major sport among the girls of B. C. H. S. This being their first year, accomplishments are few but plans are many. Its present officers are: Sally Stamm, president; Joanne Arbour, vice-president; Elaine Anderson, secretary- treasurer, and Joy Simpson, adviser. REC CENTER COMMITTEE First row. left to right: Beverly George. Joanne Smith. Shirlee Hubbard; Second row: Ronnie Eliason. Bill Tash. Doyle Stocks. Sam Davis. Che leaver JZodqe Central Committee This organization is composed of two members from each class. Meetings were held at least once a month to plan activities for the Recreation Center. It was open nearly every Friday and Saturday night, with the clubs and classes in the school sponsoring many successful dances. During the invitational tournament Beaver Lodge was host to out-of-town guests and teams. This year the Center has had no donations but has run only on Center dues, paid at the beginning of the year and revenue from the organizations which present dances in the Center. Next year it is hoped the Center will be entirely self-supporting. In past years the Center has always been cleaned by a woman hired for the work. This has been a little different ihis year. The B Club which has been operating the Snack Bar, has done a very good job keeping the Center clean in return for the use of it. The main object of the year was to improve and repair the plumbing system in the Center. Several dances and a card party was sponsored to raise funds for this project. All work was done by the FFA under the supervision of Mr. Ryerson. The American Legion Auxiliary is the sponsoring group with Mrs. Walter Stamm acting as adviser. The year's officers were: Bill Tash, president; Beverly George, secretary and treasurer. Representatives from each class were, seniors: Sam Davis, Shirlee Hub- bard; juniors: Joanne Smith, Doyle Stocks; sophomores: Buster Brown, Scotty Stub- ban, and freshman: Ronnie Eliason, Beverly George.

The students who attend the meet are given tests to enable them to qualify for scholar- ships to Montana State College, where High School Week is held annually. This year it will be held April 28, 29 and 30. Blue ribbons are awarded to the person standing highest from each school, and to the boy or girl receiving the highest mark out of the entire group. These awards make the winners eligible to compete for eight scholarships of $100 each, to be awarded the following year. At the time of printing, the names of the dele- gates from our high school have not yet been announced. CBoijs’ State and Qiris’ Stale Boys' and Girls' States are sponsored by the American Legion for the purpose of educating today's youth in duties, rights and privileges of citizenship. This is done by setting up a complete functioning government. Montana Boys' State is held each year on the campus of Western Montana College of Education, during the month of August. Boys' State is attended by 320 Montana seniors who are interested in our government and its betterment. Those from B. C. H. S. last fall were: Ed Davis, Chuck Hendron, John Hovren, Kenneth Morrison and Bill Tash. Marjorie Lane was the Beaverhead delegate to Girls' State held in Billings, June 17th to 24th. J£o me Sc Convention Qoers Four girls of the Home Economics Department were special guests at the Na- tional Wool Growers' Convention held in Great Falls, November 2-3, 1949. The four girls were Elizabeth McCollum, Mary Ellen Conover, Bobbie Jeanne Guidici and Kazuko Neishi. They were graciously chaperoned by Mrs. Lenore McCollum. Each girl had made an article of clothing from all-wool material which they modeled before the assembled convention. Mary Ellen Conover and Kazuko Neishi were each awarded third place for their garments. While these girls didn't win the coveted first place honor, they were fortunate to be chosen for this trip with all expenses paid. They had a wonderful time at the luncheon and banquet held in honor of the forty entrants. Each girl was presented with a beautiful corsage and a gift to make sewing easier. The sight-seeing trip around Great Falls and Helena was most interesting and eductaional for the girls, and much appreciation is expressed to the Wool Growers' Association for the edu- cational pleasure trip. 7a Qua JUteAtlieAA The Annual Staff and the Senior Class take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who advertised in the 1950 Beaver.
