Thirteen was our number, We did not slumber; And the other classes were not in the scene. A lot of “PEP” we had that year; Our Hallowe'en party was famed far and near. We were not slow As you must know By seeing us now in the SENIOR row. Fourteen Sophies full of life, Keen and sharp as the edge of a knife. We had wit, We had grit, We had basketball boys who were fit. Our Sophomore party sure was great Judging by ice cream and cake we ate. We had music, We had a dance, And all went home at an hour quite late. Next year assembly programs were in style, But on the Juniors they waited a while. For peanuts we had And teachers weren't glad, And the fun we had made other classes sad. Our Junior Prom was a rare success Of which we did not doubt, I confess. We'll all remember In life's December The Junior Prom and its every member. Now we are Seniors wise and sedate, Taking part in declam and debate. School duties are done But life's have begun, And we’ll never shirk or to tasks be late. Not a little of sadness, expressed in a sigh At the thought of leaving old Sandy High. Tho a victory won We are not done And we’ll make history for those to come. Pearl Hadley, '23. THE CENTENNIAL CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of ’23, of the Big Sandy High School, of Big Sandy, Montana, on this day departing forever from the joys and duties, as well as frequent sorrows (attendant upon our neglecting to spend sufficient time and effort on our several subjects and studies, especially chemistry and physics), appertaining to, and as a result thereof, our attendance at said Big Sandy High School, desiring to will and bequeath such of those joys and du- ties, as well as a full allowance of said sorrows, with full rights and posses- sion thereof, as we find it impracticable or undesirable to take with us, to certain needy classes and individuals, do here and now, in the presence of competent legal authority, make, sign and seal, this, our last Will and Tes- tament. To the hard-working but somewhat conceited members of the present Junior class, those who will commit almost unimaginable atrocities in the name of the Senior class of the said Big Sandy high school in the coming year, we, the said present Senior class of the said Big Sandy high school, will, bequeath and leave to them, all of our struggles to master and under- stand the intricacies and perplexities attendant upon our study and pursuit of that higher mathematics, physics. To these aforenamed coming Seniors, we of the Solid Geometry class leave a few of our trials and tribulations and efforts to make a circle out of straight lines, to measure points which have not dimensions, and to under- stand that a sphere is not round, but just looks like it is. To this coming class also we leave all of our sore eyes, headaches and brain fags derived from a noble attempt to understand and enjoy the “His- tory of American Literature.” May they find more entertainment and pleasure in its perusal than we did. To Masters Wilfred Ashton, Don Grubbs, Floyd Hansen and Googles Robertson, we leave and bequeath the last four seats in Senior Row, in the hope, perhaps vain, that under the sobering influence of the said seats in the Senior Row, these aforenamed people may become students of the high- est perfection in propriety and good behavior, so the coming teachers of the said Big Sandy High School may point to these students as the models of studiousness and good behavior for the coming Freshmen to model them- selves after. Besides the above named articles of this Will and Testament, certain members of our class wish to leave other and more personal bequests to cer- tain needy members of next year’s classes and faculty, to-wit: I, Pearl Hadley, finding that I am not likely to need quite so much extra length in my business of teaching school, have decided to leave one foot and seven and two-thirds inches of said length to Miss Lottie Heise, who is sadly deficient along that line. We, Fern Worsteil and Clifford Craft, jointly, and as one, unite in bequeathing to Miss Irma Arnold and Mr. Homer Campbell respectively, our seats in Senior Row, these seats so placed as to afford an unexcelled position for the exchange of confidences, for which purpose we have used them all this year, should have an unusual appeal to Miss Arnold and Mr. Campbell. I, Warren McClintick, having found my poker-like back of great use while in school, and feeling that I no more have need of it, will and bequeath it to Mr. Herschell Hurd. I, Marvin Snow, leave my speed in the various track events to Mr. Dosia Shults. Also I leave one good pair of track shoes, good as new, to any one whom they will fit. THE CENTENNIAL CLASS WILL I, Thelma Fouts, leave to Miss Dorothy Morefield, my debating ability, my bobbed hair, and sundry remembrances of a certain “Swift Johnnie.” I, Irene Vallie, bequeath to Miss Sadie Haakensen, my well-known ability to “knock ’em dead.” I, Floyd Sprague, leave and bequeath to anyone who can find use for them, certain articles of wearing apparel which I have worn at various times attached to the tail of my white sweater. I, Pearl Allderdice, bequeath to Mr. John Hemenway, one set of beau- tiful yellow curls. I, Stella Goecks, leave to Mr. Herbert Goecks my studiousness and ability to absorb physics. I am sure he will find ample use for it in the years to come, and I, naturally, wish to keep this quality in the family as much as possible. I, Raymond Flaherty, bequeath to Mr. (Scotty) Cameron, my pleasant fun-loving disposition, as Mr. Cameron seems to need something to break the monotony of his frown, especially in agronomy. I, Gladys Sturdevant, do hereby bequeath and leave my most treas- ured possessions, my dignity and soberness in class, to Miss Schurmann. I, Esther Kuest, leaving now to become a movie actress, bequeath the ability to put a punch into the H. S. plays to Miss Bessie McClellan. I, Pearl Marty, leave to anyone who can catch him, Mr. Herschel Smith. I, Florence Vallie, bequeath to Miss Alice Lee, one set of large ear puffs, one small powder puff, and two dabs of face powder. I, Bertha Keller, do hereby will and bequeath to Miss Margaret Nass. that well-known record for punctuality left me by Mr. Marion Lund and which he received from Mr. T. N. T. Tingley. I, Howard Bartlett, being about to pass forever from this school, have, at the insistance of several friends, decided to clear up for the benefit of the curious, the secret of My pretty curly hair. In doing so, I bequeath to Miss Selma Simonsen, one electric curler. I, Lucille Pierce, do hereby will and bequeath to Mr. John Bartlett, one set of solid geometry covers. The contents do not go with the covers, as I have digested them. But the covers were just a little too much for me. I, Jennie (Weller) Rutledge, having had very striking success follow- ing the instructions given in my book, bequeath, will and leave, with full rights and possession, to be used as she sees fit, to Miss Mary Linn, said book entitled, “How to Catch a Husband.” I, Cecil Mack, bequeath to Mr. Ralph Barker, the terrible labors and many hours of strenuous work expended in dodging classes and doing every- thing but studying. May he spend his time next year doing the same. I, M. P. Moe, bequeath to Prof. White the arduous task of spending about a quart of good breath every three minutes telling the students as- sembled there that it is not a period for visiting, but a study period. Signed, sealed and executed this third day of May, in the year of our Lord, 1923, at two P. M. by the Court House clock. CLASS OF ’23 Big Sandy High School. (SEAL) Signed: —Cecil Mack, ’23 M. P. Moe I. E. White THE CENTENNIAL CLASS PROPHECY TIME—7:30 P. M., Friday 13, 1943. PLACE—New auditorium of Big Sandy High School. SETTING—The new auditorium has been in a commotion all day, preparing for the reunion banquet to be held there. Pearl (Marty) and Herschell Smith went in their limousine to the station to meet Mr. and Mrs. Moe, who were to arrive on the 7:00 o’clock train. The members of the class thot they had given them time to erase the grime of travel, and promptly at 7:30, the old time Senior class entered the Smith home in a body, crying, “Surprise, surprise!” Mr. and Mrs. Moe were surely surprised and rushed into the room, forgetting collar and hair pins at the sound of many familiar voices. There was a hearty handshaking all around and everyone was trying to talk first, when Raymond drew the attention of the crowd by rapping loudly on the table and saying, “When do we eat?” Pearl, our former class president, then obtained the floor and in- formed the guests that a sumptuous banquet had been prepared in the school auditorium. In a very few moments we were all seated at the banquet table. Cecil arose to his feet and suggested that Mr. Moe act in his usual of- ficial position as toastmaster, and sat down ’midst loud applause from everyone as Mr. Moe rose. “This is certainly the most enjoyable and pleasant surprise of my many years in this good old world of ours. When Browning penned the lines: ‘Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be.’ he certainly read into the future with accuracy. What could be a greater joy than to be here with you tonight and rehearse the pleasures, trials, tribu- lations and accomplishments of the class of ’23 during the past twenty years. The honor you have bestowed upon me to act as toastmaster for this occa- sion is most highly appreciated. Being with you again brings back vivid pictures of our many pleasant associations during the three years we labored and frolicked together in Big Sandy. “Since Cecil was so kind as to call on me I think I shall turn the ta- bles and ask to hear from him.” “As usual, I haven’t much to say except that I’m making use of my knowledge I gained from teaching solid geometry when Prof, was gone. Well, I am now a professor of Math, in Harvard college, and I don’t fear my life either when I assign four propositions.” “There always were so many girls in the class of ’23, I think we had better hear from one of them. I’m sure Fern has something interesting to say.” “Me! Oh, is it my turn? Well, you must all have seen the latest styles right from Paris. They are the work of my hands. My establish- ment is patronized by the whole world and it fills me with ecstasy when I think of my celestial creations on my lovely and adorable models.” “I certainly feel it is my duty to call on Pearl very early in the eve- ning as she has done much to make this occasion possible.” “Course I haven’t much to say. I taught school a year and then Herschell and I were married. We continued our educational work and to- day we both have a B. A. and Herschell has finished his no graduate THE CENTENNIAL work and at present is writing a book on labor problems.” “Ever since the debate at Scobey, Mrs. Moe and I have wondered whether Thelma finally married Johnny Dolan.” “Thelma arose amid much applause. “Well, I’m not the wife of Johnny Dolan but I am chief saleswoman of Swift's Ham Company, located at St. Paul.” “In talking to Raymond this evening I was surely surprised to find he was still single as he was always keen on women. Let’s hear from Dr. Raymond Flaherty.” “Of course you know I am located at Rochester. When I first went there the noted Mayo Brothers were my competitors. I worked with the city council and finally persuaded them that there was a way to keep people well thru proper exercise. The result is to-day, the hospitals have been turned into gymnasiums and Mayos' famous clinic i.s no more. But in place of it we have Dr. Flaherty's slogan, “How to Keep Well.” “When I came I wondered who the third lady at my right was, who had gained so much in dimensions. We'll hear from Lucille.” “Yes, I admit I've become quite portly, but the girls all say it is be- coming to me. At the present time I am Dean of Women at Mt. Holyoke College, Massachusetts, Little did I think at the time of the football play that I would become a real Miss Parmalee.” “As the evening is getting late I’ll simply have to call names and have you respond. Stella Goecks, the valedictorian of '23.” “I am the overseer of the Ladies Department of Montgomery Ward's new store located at Great Falls, and we get considerable business from Big Sandy.” “Esther Kuest. Of course we all get a chance to see her ocassionally on the screen.” “Yes, I am a movie star. At the present time I am playing the lead- ing part in the play, “Purple and Fine Linen” written by one of our class- mates, Irene Vallie, who no doubt will become one of the greatest American playwrights. Let's hear from her.” “I am very much interested in my chosen line of work and am es- pecially in the play mentioned by Esther, since she takes the leading role with her Art playing opposite her.” “Well, I'm sure that’s interesting. Floyd Sprague, next.” T have also made my appearance in society, playing for five hundred chorus girls on the piano that is famed for being the jazziest one in New York.” “I am delighted to find Bertha with us as I had heard of her work in India.” “My husband and I have just returned from darkest India, where we have been in charge of a mission field of forty thousand square miles. We would not have returned but I simply could not stay away when I received the invitation so came back to be once again with the class of old Sandy High. “Where's Pearl Allderdice? I hope she is present.” “Not Pearl Allderdice but Pearl Hilgendorf is here. Will and I were married ten years ago after we had both finished college. At present we are located at Rio de Janeiro, where he practices law and I practice domestic science.” THE CENTENNIAL “Howard Bartlett.” “If it’s my turn it won’t take long. Box Elder always suited me fine and now I have a famed peanut farm, known as ‘Fair Peanut Farm,’ a model place to live.” “Pearl Hadley.” “Well, I am making education better and am at the head of the Na- tional Research work in educational lines and have just received an appoint- ment to go to Europe.” “Clifford looks as if he had something to say.” “I made use of the many hours I spent with the Peptimist back in high school days, and am at present the editor of the New York Sun.” “Well, it seems natural to have Gladys here.” “After graduating from good old Sandy High, I took vocal lessons, then went on the stage at New York. I have just returned from a tour of Europe, where I have been singing. My instructor says I am the greatest since Schuman Heink. “I am sure we will find Warren ready to talk as he used to be in his high school days in Sandy.” “Well, I own the largest chemistry laboratory in Chicago, where my assistants under my instructions make thousands of tests daily. Only a few days ago I discovered the secret of perpetual motion.” “Let’s hear from Florence.” “I have a modiste shop in Portland, Oregon, where I design gowns for the greatest American people and many of my customers are members of the class of ’23. “I’m sure Marvin won’t disappoint us to-day like he did the day he came from the track meet at Chinook.” “Well, I haven’t done much, but I am the proud possessor of the Gold- en Cup awarded to me for winning the last of the Marathon races, and that’s all. ‘You may be small, Jennie, but you haven’t escaped my sight.” “I’m glad I haven’t for I wish to extend to all present a hearty invi- tation to meet in another grand reunion at my country home near here, in the year 1953, just ten years from date. Lester and I have a fine and pros- perous farm and a beautiful big house, large enough to accommodate any of the class or all of them whenever they choose to come.” “I am sure we will all be at the reunion at your home. I believe Mrs. Moe has something to say.” “It has indeed been a joy to share with you this evening, and recall the days of ’23. All of our surroundings seem to take us back twenty years. The hall so beautifully decorated in those Senior class colors of green and white; on yonder wall their class motto, B sharp, B natural, but never B flat. On the center of the table we have the fragrant roses—the class flower— which suggests to me these lines: ‘There are no friends like old friends Who have shared our school days, No greetings like their welcome, No homage like their praise. Fame is a scentless sunflower with gaudy crown of gold, But friendship is the breathing rose with sweets in every fold. —Gladys Sturdevant, ’23 THE CENTENNIAL PHYSICS CLASS “SNAPS” THE CENTENNIAL CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW OF THE SENIORS NAME Thelma Fouts Clifford Craft Irene Vallie Stella Goecks Esther Kuest Warren McClintick Pearl Marty Pearl Hadley Floyd Sprague Bertha Keller Florence Vallie Cecil Mack Pearl Allderdice Fern Worstell Howard Bartlett Gladys Sturdevant Raymond Flaherty Lucille Pierce Marvin Snow Jennie Weller Rutledge FAVORITE OCCUPATION Powdering nose Eating candy Car riding Studying Dressmaking Sight seeing Washing dishes Writing essays Primping Writing letters Building castles Skipping class Riding horseback Dancing Fussing Smiling Pooling Substituting Writing short stories Being agreeable HOBBY Talking to the boys Bossing Flirting Sleeping Art Lisping Sweeping Growing tall j Girls Johnny Getting thin Teaching Debating Movies Driving Studebaker Light Ray Rolling his own Willing to please Assembly speeches Hubby SAYINGS Gee whillikins Say, now Really truly Well, you know Oh gosh The bunk Gee G’wan You tell ’em Oh my Oh dear Darn it For cramps sakes Cut it out Love me, love my dog Aw say Yes, marm Come on gang ?_ _IT You bet THE CENTENNIAI CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW OF THE SENIORS (Continued) AIM IN LIFE Selling ham Bookkeeping Housekeeping To be famous Have a time Chemist Keep house School marm Musician Missionary Cooking Marksman Traveling Dramatist Eat peanuts Aimless Movie star Teaching Be a professor Prosperous farmer WHERE FOUND Downtown Assembly room At the depot Typing Most anywhere ith Nettie Herschel's desk Away from home In the wrong place At work At home Can't be found Nowhere Hospital About town At the postoffice Carssow’s Library At class In the kitchen NICK NAME Tootsey Cliff Rena Stump Snookums Mac S-Marty Shorty Spare Ribs Birdie Flossie Skeezics Polly Pinkie-pie-dough Giggles Skinny Well Fed Flirty Lolly-pop Bill Dutch FAVORITE FLOWER Johnny-Jump-Up Fern Forget-me-not Gumbo Rose Artichoke Sagebrush Columbine Dandelion Two-lips Jack-in-the-pulpit Beech tree Lady-slipper Sweet William Bachelor Button Lillies Cactus Larkspur Four o'clock Snap Dragon Bridal Wreath JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS:— President, Irma Arnold Vice-Pres., Herschell Hurd Sec’y-Treas., Margaret Ness THE CENTENNIAL JUNIOR CLASS ROLL Anna Anderson Agnes Anderson Irma Arnold, Pres.

That first year was rather trying, as the Freshman year always is, but we came through, all sane and perfectly happy. As Sophomores our number decreased slightly but our pep and ingen- uity increased. Three of our members were on the debating team, three on the first basketball team and several in track and field. In the fall of '22 we entered school very joyfully for we were then upper-classmen. The enrollment is thirty-two, the largest Junior class that has ever been in Sandy. Most all our boys are in athletics. Several of the Junior girls went in for debate and they all did very well although none of them were on the first team. Quite a number entered declam, Nettie Siebrasse, one of our number, taking first place. She went to Chinook as the Big Sandy repre- sentative and later went to Missoula to take part in the state contest. The Junior play was a success, and the Junior prom given in honor of the Seniors was also very successful. TO OUR SPONSOR The Junior Class wishes to thank Mrs. Shroat, class sponsor, for her efforts to promote the interests of the Class. Also we wish to thank Miss Carey, who has taken Mrs. Shroat’s place. By her help we have been able to make our undertakings a success. We certainly hope that Miss Carey will be with us again next year to help us carry off our more important po- sition as Seniors, with all the seriousness and gravity that that new position demands. TO THE SENIORS To the Class of ’23 we extend our hearty congratulations. We will miss you greatly in old Sandy Hi but we will try to take your place in every- thing, except third place in track. We do not want that.

Wall, Vera THE CENTENNIAL SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY As freshmen we came from all sections of the country surrounding Big Sandy, some from the prairie, some from the Bear Paw mountains, some from the brakes of the Missouri river and some were town residents. We were all strangers and too green to get acquainted until we were initiated. This showed us we had a common interest and taught us to stick together. We gradually got over our greenness and finally emerged as full fledged Sophomores. The Sophomore class was organized September 28, 1922, officers were appointed and the machinery of a successful class set in motion. We took an active part in a carnival and did our share to make it a success. Andy Gump and Mannikins, which was put on by the Sophomores, made a great hit. It was said that Andy retained all of his usual character- istics, and showed a few original ones. The Sophomore Class team won its first game in the interclass bas- ketball tournament when it defeated the faculty, February 25. The Sopho- more line-up was Schilling, center; Hansen and Dosia Shults, forwards; Flatness and Grubbs, guards. The game was hotly contested on both sides but the final result was 15 to 14 in favor of the Sophomores. With that start we might have come through with a very successful record had not the tournament been discontinued. The Sophomores won the track meet by more than a comfortable margin, having more points than all the other classes combined. The total number of points taken by our team was seventy-one (71). The next high- est score was thirty-one points taken by the Juniors. The number of points taken by each individual of the Sophomore team were as follows: Dosia Shults, 41; Earl Schilling, 14%; Clifford Flatness, 9; Herschel Smith, 6%. Last year we had a little hard luck but we sure made up for it this year, for this is the greatest majority ever enjoyd by any class since the inter-class track meets have been held and is a record not likely to be broken. This is the last and most significant triumph for our class, and as we go through school we may look back with pride at our record this year. We wish to heartly thank our class sponsor, Mr. White, for his help- ful suggestions and encouragement and for the active interest he has taken in all our class affairs. We appreciate his effort and believe that a large measure of our success was due to his guidance.

THE CENTENNIAL CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of school the Freshmen Class numbered forty pupils. The first thing we did was to organize our class. The following officers were elected: Louise Jaggers..............President Dorothy Morefield......Vice-President Bessie Arnold...............Secretary Walter Godfrey..............Treasurer Olive Lund...................Reporter Mrs. Moe was unanimously elected sponsor. In the first high school party, which was supposed to be our initiation party, the boys were the only ones initiated. The other high school boys locked them in the back recitation room and burned some--------. After the boys had been in there about fifteen minutes the doors were unlocked. As soon as they got out, their shoes were taken off and strung out all over the building. Nothing was done to the girls, but the boys were given a double dose to make up for it. We all had an enjoyable time, however, and every- one departed without any hard feelings. The eighth grade challenged the Freshmen to a series of football games with the understanding that the loser of two out of three games w,as to give a party for the other. We were defeated in the first two games be- cause about two-thirds of our players wouldn’t play either in practice or in the games. In the third game, however, the regular Freshman team came out and won the game with a score of 12 to 0, but it was up to us to give the party. We Freshmen had a waffle feed for our part in the carnival. It was a great success due mostly to our sponsor. In addition to the waffles we sold candy and caps. It was hard work but we took in more money than any other class. The total amount of profit was $47.65. We were quite proud of the fact that our queen, Dorothy Morefield, came out second in the number of votes cast. We lived up to our motto and climbed to the top in the big- gest Carnival ever staged in Big Sandy. The eighth graders waited long and patiently for the Freshmen to give them the party they earned by winning the two. football games. A very enjoyable party was finally given on March 2nd. The first part of the eve- ning was spent in playing exciting games such as “Three Tier Deep,” “Ruth and Jacob,” and “Last Couple Out.” Many slipped and fell down but that only added to the fun. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. Light refreshments were then served. Everyone departed at 11:30, after the eighth grade had given a yell for the Freshmen. Modest and timid, silent, demure, Feeling our way, not always secure But ready for all the good things we had dreamed, This is the way we Freshmen seemed In 1923. Craniums big, crammed full of deceit, This verse is to be finished In 1924.

The majority of the students took part, and they put on some very good acts. Next “The Touchdown,” a thrilling football play, was given by the high school March 9, 1923, and again March 23, as there was a great demand by those who could not be present the first time it was given. It proved a grand success and brought to light the exceptional ability of some of the students for dramatic work. The cast for this play was as follows: Grant Hayden..........................Warren McClintick Robert Hayden..............................Lloyd Callison Alfred Wolfe....................................Herschell Hurd Gene Clark.................................Earl Schilling Junius Brooks................................Floyd Hanson Henry Sumner................................Marvin Snow George Holman.............................Howard Bartlett Frank Mitchell......................................Dosia Shults Watassa Faulkner.....................................Fern Worstell Rena Maynard.......................................Esther Kuest Margery Carson........................Nettie Siebrasse Dollie Sylvester......................Gladys Sturdevant Evelyn (Echo) Sylvester.................... Olive Lund Priscilla Parmelee................................Lucille Pierce The second time it was presented, Louise Jaggers substituted for Net- tie Siebrasse, who was ill. The Junior play, “The Missing Miss Miller,” was equally successful, although when Scotty Buckskin appeared on the scene handling that six- shooter so recklessly it seemed for a while that the comedy was going to end tragically. Nevertheless, all the knots were untangled (and some more tied) and everything ended beautifully, with no one on the missing list. All who were present must admit that there was certainly no one “missed” in that last scene.

A great deal of interest has been shown by the students, who have come to a full realization of the value of being able to stand up before the public and talk. We expect even more to try out next year, especially the boys. Thirteen girls and three boys entered this year. They were: Nettie Siebrasse, Fern Worstell, Dorothy Morefield, Olive Lund, Louise Jaggers, Pearl Allderdice, Pearl Marty, Blanche Marty, Madalyn Allred, Anna Orisko, Bertha Keller, Bertha Carnahan, Bernice Hurd, Earl Schilling, Cecil Mack, and Floyd Hansen. Monday morning, April 30, the girls gave their declamations before the assembly. The three judges present were Mrs. E. B. Newhall, C. C. Mills, and Supt. M. P. Moe. Nettie Siebrasse, Fern Worstell, Olive Lund, and Dorothy Morefield were chosen to appear before the public the next evening in the last elimination contest. The three boys gave their declama- tions the same evening, although they did not compete with the girls. The judges were the three mentioned before and Mrs. I. H. Ary, and S. H. Porter. Nettie Siebrasse and Earl Schilling had the honor of being selected to go to Chinook May 4, and Nettie also went to Missoula for the state declam- atory contest. DEBATING The Big Sandy High School entered the State Debating League in the fall of 1922, and began work in December. The twelve who tried out were as follows: Pearl Allderdice, Pearl Hadley, Thelma Fouts, Anna Orisko, Lucille Pierce, Louise Jaggers, Olive Lund, Dorothy Morefield, Bernice Hurd, Clarissa Carnahan, Earl Schilling and Reynold Larson. They were divided into two complete teams which debated before the teachers, six being chosen to appear in a public debate held December 21, 1922. From these six, three were chosen to represent the high school dur- ing the year, namely, Pari Allderdice, Pearl Hadley, and Thelma Fouts. The first debate was held at Havre January 17, 1923. The Havre debaters, who were Naomi Herren, Lucille Holsapple, and John Boynton, de- fended the negative side of the question. Our local team, which maintained the affirmative throughout the debating season, won by a unanimous deci- sion. Saco, who had won from Wolf Point, was the next to meet the local team. This debate was held at Big Sandy, February 5. Saco was represent- by Herbert Abel, Foy Yeats, and Harry Malmin, while those on the home team were the same, excepting that Cecil Mack substituted for Thelma Fouts who was ill. A very interesting and “peppy” debate took place, but Big Sandy again won the victory, the decision being two to one. This entitled us to meet Scobey in the third and last debate, held there THE CENTENNIAL March 1, 1923, to determine the district championship. This time the deci- sion was two to one in favor of Scobey, which meant that they would com- pete for state honors at Missoula in May. The Scobey debaters were Henry Klienman, Lyle Buckland, and Milton Shrank; while the Big Sandy team was again composed of the three girls who went to Havre. Our debaters are the same ones who represented Big Sandy in the fi- nal debate last year, and they feel that for their honors they owe a great deal to Mrs. S hr oat, who coached them both last year and this, and also to Mrs. Moe, who took Mrs. Shrcat’s place the latter part of this debating sea- son. A second local debate was given April 27 on the question: “Resolved that capital punishment should be abolished.” The negative was defended by Dorothy Morefield, Bernice Hurd, and Reynold Larson, who ware coached by Pearl Allderdice and Cecil Mack, while the affirmative was maintained by Olive Lund, Clarissa Carnahan and Earl Schilling, coached by Pearl Had- ley and Thelma Fcuts. Great debating ability was shown by both sides, but the affirmative met defeat by a two to one decision. Big Sandy hopes to send a team to Missoula next year to take part in the state debating contest. THE NEW GYMNASIUM THE CENTENNIAL ATHLETICS BASKETBALL Warren McClintick (Cap.)

Clifford Flatness Herschell Hurd THE CENTENNIAL FOOTBALL The football season of 1922 can be considered a success although but four games were played and two of these lost. More games were scheduled but were cancelled because of sickness in the school. The first game of the season was played at Havre, where we opened the season the year before, but this time things were different and while our goal line was never in danger we repeatedly crossed theirs, and more than evened up for last year. Next, Geraldine played on the home grounds and although they showed a lot of fight they didn’t have the weight nor the experience to give us any trouble. The following Saturday we travelled to Great Falls, where we received the first defeat of the season. The heavier and more experienced Great Falls machine was aided by several bad fumbles, and Big Sandy getting its usual slow start. If it hadn’t b en for this, things might have been different. However, it is no disgrace to lose to the runners-up for state honors, and score one of the four touchdowns registered against them in eleven games. The Fort Benton game was the last of the season. Fort Benton scored a touchdown when they recovered a Big Sandy fumble and completed two forward passes. They again scored when they recovered another fumble and carried it fifty yards to a touchdown. Big Sandy then scored on a long for- ward pass. This was in the first twelve minutes of play and for the rest of the game these two strong and well matched teams fought up and down the field without a score.

Letter men and a few invited guests were present. After a dinner, talks were given by the graduating football players. Letters were given to John Bartlett, Alvin Jacobsen, Joe Heimes, and Lloyd Calli son. Stars for the second year were given to Howard Bartlett, Warren McClintick, Marvin Snow, Dosia Shults, Donald Shults, Clifford Flatness, Earl Schilling, Herschell Hurd, Waine Hof sommer, and Homer Campbell. Earl Schilling was elected to cap- tain the 1923 team. BASKETBALL Big Sandy was handicapped at the start of the season by an incom- pleted gymnasium, only two weeks practice being had before the first game. However, the veteran squad, after it did get started, finished a highly suc- cessful season, defeating opponents by convincing scores and dropping only one game up to the tournament. Had conditions made it possible for Big Sandy to start practice on time, the season would undoubtedly have been more successful still.

Nearly all veterans were back, and other schools had lost most of their point winners. The spring weather was not all that could be desired, but when training started in earnest, we began hitting close to several state records. The interclass meet was held April 27, as a final tryout and on Thurs- day, May 3, the team left for Chinook to take part in the district meet. Ten schools were represented, and state meet time took nearly every event. One state record was tied and several others were not missed far. The final scoring showed Fort Benton first with forty-two (42) points and Big Sandy second with forty (40). The other schools trailed with from fourteen (14) to 0. Fort Benton also took the relay with Big Sandy second. The Big Sandy point getters were Dosia Shults with first in javelin and low hurdles, second in discus and third in shot, 50 and 100-yard dashes, making him high point man of the meet; Clifford Flatness with a second in the shot; Donald Shults with first in the mile and third in the discus; Earl Schilling with first in discus and one-half mile; Marvin Snow with first in the 440. Dosia Shults and Earl Schilling represented Big Sandy High in the state interscholastic meet held in Missoula May 10 and 11. Dosia gathered eleven points and Earl two, for a total of thirteen points, placing Big Sandy High eighth among the 77 schools represented. Dosia w'on first in the dis- cus, second in the low hurdles and fourth in the javelin; Earl took one point in the discus and one in the half-mile. Big Sandy has at last begun to make a name for herself in Montana High School athletics. This, the third year that Big Sandy has had teams, shows a ranking far above most of the larger and older schools of the state. Football was played under exceptionally hard conditions. There were not enough men out for the team to make scrimmage. Sixteen men out in suits were the most that we had. Notwithstanding this, we had a strong team, ranking on paper with the ten best in the state. In basketball, handicapped by no gymnasium until the season had well started, the team came through with victory after victory, until we began to be considered as championship contenders. In games won we ranked with the cream of the state. Then in the Havre game Flaherty, a center of all-state calibre, almost indispensible in Big Sandy’s scoring machine, sprained his ankle and was useless the rest of the season. Hurd, a star in the forward position, was shifted to center, which completely broke up the team work and Big Sandy’s hopes for a championship were at an end. The track team made an enviable record. Losing out in the district by two points, they yet were far ahead of Havre and Chinook, much larger schools. At the state meet with only a two man team we placed eighth, far above many larger schools. Dosia Shults, mentioned for all-state halfback, captured eleven points and was fourth high individual. All this was accom- plished, although Big Sandy has no specialized coach in football, basketball or track, members of the faculty donating their spare time. Belt ....... Harlem .....
