I : BELT BUCKLE -- I FRESHMAN HISTORY What a dreary, unprofitable place is the Land of Ignorance! Being dissatisfied with it as a permanent abiding place, we Frosh, a band of hardy pioneers, strong, set sail September 1927 for the Realm of Know- ledge. Our first task was the selection of officers to guide the crew and bring our good ship, Education, safely to port. Captain James Irvine took the helm. Under his leadership Comrade M. Marsh was chosen first mate and B. Tuura has served faithfully as boatswain. We met the first grave danger of the voyage when our sturdy craft struck upon the Rock of Initiation. It was a dreadful place! Waves of Cruelty, Torture, Ridicule, and Humiliation, almost wrecked our vessel, but -Cheerfulness and Good Sportsmanship brought us at last into more quiet waters. Effort, and Loyalty have enabled us to win notable vic- tories in our contests with these stalwart warriors. The greatest battle was Won against the Sophomores in the Class Series Wars. We are justly proud of our triumphs and accomplishments, but trust this spirit will not blind us to the need of future efforts. Like the honor- able pioneers of the past, we shall endure, strive, and serve. So shall we prove ourselves Worthy of the blessings of the rich, new land. ' -Alice Klimas. SONNET The morning is so many miles away, S The winter nites surround us vast and cold, The vastless heaven many a star does hold With calmness and peace both having their full sway. All over the floods of silver moonlight lay. ' A glory on those billows that enfold, The rolling sea and verdant forest of old The weeping willows wait the distant day. Our dreams go forth unuttered to the West, The splendor of our fancies do have a weight, And vary like the thousand nature's glories. Our thoughts in our minds are waiting for the test, If worthy they will travel a distance far, Like dawning mornings they follow each other with ease. -Helen Brutosky. 7, ...L , ,N 1 928 , ,W W Y ww-,wiv Thirty-Nine

BELT BUCKLE GIRLS' VOCATIONAI. CONFERENCE Helyne Remington and Ethel Ranta represented Belt at the Girl's Vocational Congress at Bozeman, November seventeenth to nineteenth. On their return they each gave a speech in the assembly, imparting to their fellow students the benefit of the speeches which they so fortunately were able to hear. They reported having had a jolly trip and much fun afforded by the companionship of over two hundred girls from every part of the state. BOYS' VOCATIONAI. CUNGRESS The following boys attended the Boys' Vocational Congress: Joe Pil- lar, Commercial, Earl Kennedy, Vocations, Bill Remington, P. T. A.3 Harold E. Johnson, Eino Kivi, Billy Porter, Stanley Penn, Clarence Jewell, Animal Husbandry, James Provin, Chemistry. Sigurd Johnson attended as a guest of M. J. Abbey. This was the largest delegation that had ever been sent from Belt. The feature of this trip was the judging done by the three on the Stock Judging Team, Eino Kivi, Billy Porter, and Harold E. Johnson. They were awarded a trip to Portland having won first place on the Great Northern Line. A thing not to be overlooked was the splendid coaching of D. L. MacDonald, Mac! Sigurd Johnson, A Senior , was taken on the trip as a guest of M. J. Abbey. This is an honor, the first of the kind offered to anybody in the school. Sigurd's good work in this is not to be forgotten. While down there the boys attended several speeches, given by prom- inent men in this country. After listening to these speeches they at- tended basketball games and saw the famous Bobcats in action. DEBATING In the district debating contest held at Simms this year Augusta was the winner, Belt taking second place. The Belt team was composed of Joy Browning and Alex Childerhose.
