THE CENTENNIAL We were freshies, gay and green In the fall of the year, nineteen. 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.
