THE CENTENNIAL CLASS HISTORY i When we, the Senior Class of 1926, started to scale the dizzy heights of c.d Mount Education we little realized what a long tedious journey we were undertaking. Leaving the comparatively level and easy plain of the elementary grades behind, we passed our first milestone of advanced education. We must surely have believed in the old adage, “Well begun is half done”, for we considered ourselves quite advanced and were sure that no one was much more learned than we. But alas! When we rounded the next turn in the trail our broad and level road turned into a rough winding mountain path. We had hardly begun our ascent when we struck our first rocks. We discovered, that notwithstanding our wisdom, there were many things we did not know and that we would have to work if we were going to get any higher. We soon de- cided that the best way to gain our goal was to all pull together and unfurl- ing our banner with the motto “Watch us Climb” we started for the moun- tain top. Our first steep pitch was the High School Carnival. What could a group of inexperienced freshies do about a big rock like that? We stood back for a time and watched the other classes with all the respect which a tenderfoot feelss for a “sourdough”. But Mrs. Moe, our energetic, hard work- ing sponsor informed us that there was something we could do. Consequent- ly we got busy, installed a cafeteria, and cleared more money than any other class. We had now gained our first ledge and could look out a little way over the plain that we had just left. Now we had more confidence and turning our face upward we plugged steadily ahead. After traveling only a little way on our journey we struck a landslide.—Semester Exams! Can we make it? Yes, we must, so with fast beating hearts, not daring to look back, we pushed on. Safe at last. My, but that was a scare. Now we had easier going for awhile and although the grade was steep there was a certain exhilaration in climbing and we forged steadily ahead. One more difficulty had to be encountered, be- fore we reached a place where we could rest—final examinations. That made rather rough going for awhile, but was soon safely behind us and we bad covered one-fourth of the distance. Now we had a short rest before passing our second milestone, marked Sophomore. Here our trials and tribulations were much the same as before. Again we were financial winners at the car- nival, we were a so vabcntly awarded for our efforts by having our Class Queen, Bessie Arnold, chosen Queen of the Carnival. This year Ted Homan exalted himself and hs c'ass by helping two upper classmen capture second rlace in the state in stock judging. Ben Worstell also played guard on Sandy's famed championship football team. Having gotten our second wind, we were fast gaining distance. Halfway up, what a grand and giddy feeling. No long- er under classmen, but juniors now, chesty and important. We were getting somewhere in the world and desired that people should notice us. We travel- ed gaily on becoming more used to the roughness of the road, and learning more and more how to travel it with less fatigue and hardship. Both Ted Homan and Ben W'orstell made the football team this year.Thorald Cowgar made the debate team. We also sent delegates to both the Boys' and Girls' Vocational Conference. John Jenkins to the beys' conference and Selma Sim- onsen to the girls'. Our junior class Play “Safety First” was accounted the mort successful Junior play ever put on here. After this we put on the Junior From, for the Seniors of '25. The first part of the Prom consisted of a ban- quit at the dormitory after which there was a dance at the Gym with music furnished by the Rainbow Orchestra of Great Falls. Chuck Ensley also made the Stockjudging team, which took sixth place and the Juniors won the in- terclass track meet. We could now look forward to our goal, in plain sight THE CENTENNIAL but just out of reach. All we could do was to stand by and watch the senior as they proceeded calmly on their way, and wonder how it felt. Still one knows time and trouble is a remedy for all ills and although our progress seemed slow and uncertain, the summit is not gained at a single bound, but only after long, weary hours of travel. So we find ourselves coming nearer and nearer to that point which looked so faint and vague through the mists and distances of three years before. Another milestone behind us and we are on the final lap of our journey. Seniors at last; reserved, sedate and learned. Just a trifle conscious, per- haps, of our station, but can you blame us ? Why should we strive for years for a position if we are not to take pride in it after it is won? Still as the novelty wears off and we take time to look back over the rough old mountain side and out over the plane stretching away in the distance and onr feelings of importance, in its place, comes the con- tentment known only to those who have seen a hard day’s labor and who can look back with satisfaction at the distance traveled. We have given our blessings to the under classmen and to the Juniors in particular as they are to take our place next year. We have given our senior play, received our diplomas and, lo, we are no longer of that jolly crowd of good fellows, who gather every morning nine months of the year at the little brick school house. We have stood on the pinnacle of our ambition only to discover that the road leads on to still higher peaks and that our journey has only begun. Some of us will choose that slippery old granite mountain called “College” from which so many have fallen. Others will choose the rougher and more rugged way known as “Life”, but whichever path we may choose, “Watch Us Climb.” Kie, Kie, try, try, try. Take your aim and take it high, On, On. On! Come on! lets’ go! Mind your step and don’t climb slow, We’re the seniors, you and I, Seniors of the Big Sandy Hi. Wow! Wow! SENIORS ’26. THE CENTENNIAL CLASS PROPHECY OF 26 The day was still, there was no twittering of birds, no melancholy notes of a meadowlark, there was not a cloud on the horizon, while at its zenith the sun poured down its incessant, blistering rays upon the parched land. Not even a cooling breeze found its way to this second pergatory. Amidst all this torrid heat and scorched surrounding a lone cowpuncher, who lay in the shade of his horse, watching with drowsy eyes the little herd of scrubby long horns grazing upon the scant bunch of grass near by. But, alas! not even the shade of the horse could completely shut off the heat of that sun, and soon the rider, already tired and sleepy, began to rub his eyes, and nod his head in a drowsy manner. No sooner had his head begun to nod than he saw a black speck ap- pearing over the horizon which, as it drew nearer, took the form of a large bird and low! when it was almost overhead what should it be but one of Ford’s new aeroplanes which had become very prominent in the last ten years. When the aeroplane came almost overhead the rider, who was none other than Ted Homan of the senior class of ’26, could plainly see the occupants and finally placed then as Kenneth Ray and Leslie Miller also of the class of ’26. His joy knew no bounds, with a wild cowboy whoop he leaped to his feet, waved his big hat frantically and yelled at the top of his voice. No young- boy or beast of the tropics could have gone through all the antics he did. At last he was successful in attracting the attention of those in the plane for he heard above the roar of the motor a never-to-be-forgotten voice. “Hey Kenneth I think there must be a lunatic or a sheep herder down there, judging by his actions, I think we’d better go down and look him over if we can before he hurts himself.” Ted did not catch the answer but it must have been in the affirmative for as a great hawk circles over it’s prey, the plane began to circle slowly downward until finally it glided to a stop some fifty yards away. With another wild yell, Ted pulled out his 45 and brandishing it aloft as he went, made a wild dash for the two men who now stood near the plane. At this wild re- ception, the two unprepared men, unable to defend themselves in anyway ex- cept rapid flight, started to scramble for the plane. Fate must have been with Ted that day. for as Leslie turned to run he plunked his foot squarely into a prairie dog hole and Kenneth who was directly behind him, and who was too slow to stop quick, went sprawling down on top of him. By the time they had untangled their legs Ted had ar- rived at the spot and throwing himself down on the ground gave every evidence of a man who has pulled “a good one on his neighbor. “Why you wall-eyed, bow-legged, club-footed, pigeon-toed air fiends, don’t you know an old side kick when you see him ? Why you ought to be-----? He did not have time to finish the sentence, for with a joyful yell of recog- nition they pounced upon their old classmate and soon had him initiated in- to their league of companionship again. They even quite overlooked the trick he played on them and their bruises, for they had often had worse tricks pulled on them in the dormitory at Big Sandy ten years before. They soon had their various smokes going and began to gossip as con- fidently as any group of old maids. Ted soon learned that Kenneth and Leslie, who were now well fixed, had taken it upon themselves that spring, to seek every member of the class of ’26, and see if she or he were making a success of life, as had been expect- ed of them when they graduated. He also learned that they had almost made THE CENTENNIAL the rounds and that they had only Don Grubbs and Charles Ensley left since they had found him. “Well, if that’s the case, I guess your trip is about over,” answeded Ted. thinking slowly, “Chuck lives about one hundred and twenty miles north west of here on Eight Mile Bench, and 1 think Chuck mentioned the fact once, that Don came to visit him, so I guess they must live pretty close.” Arrangements were then made that Ted should accompany the two in the plane on to Chuck’s place. As the traffic was not as thick as usual in the upper spaces on that day, they were soon making great speed. The plane carrying the three soon arrived at Charles Ensley jr’s residence on Eight Mile Bench. Charles had a very nice home with about 640 acres of bench land, and (thanks to Mr. I. E. White, Ag. instructor of B. S. H. S. he knew how to farm and manage it properly.) As the air plane approached the whole family went out on the front porch and waited its landing, al- though they had no idea who it was, they were always ready to welcome folks. The aeroplane circled several times and finally settled to the ground a short distance away. When the three got out Chuck gave one big gasp, while an- other was lost in his speedy departure from the front steps toward the worthy three, who by this time had armed themselves for the biggest exhibit of back- slapping that ever took place. “Come in, Come in,” piped a sweet voice from the front steps and Celia Ensley who had not lost a bit of her plumpness, opened the door and bustled the whole quartette into the house. “Sit down you old warts,” said Chuck, “I’ve got a thousand and one questions that I want to ask you. How’s the rest of the class ? How many are married? How many have died and how many turned out as (no-account; ? Open up and tell me, I haven’t heard of any of them since we graduated ten years ago, except Ted and Don”. “You mean Don Grubbs,” yelled Kenneth, “he’s the last one on our list and if we find him we’ll have the complete history of the class of ’26.” “Why he lives at Grubbsborough which used to be Box Elder, you sure hit it lucky though, for he is coming here today for a visit, and of course he’ll bring Helen.” “Helen who?” asked Les, “I thought he was married to Zella Vanover.” “No,” laughed Chuck, “You see Zella turned out to be an inventor, due to her course in Physics and she invented a rolling pin that would come back when she threw it. This was too much for Don, so he obtained a divorce and later on he married Helen McHose who is of a more gentle disposition. I suppose you boys remember her, I’ll tell the world, I certainly do.—Do you remember the case we had with her Ted?” finished Chuck, laughing. “I’ll say I do,” answered Ted, “we sure had one grand battle, I laugh to think of it now!” “Here comes Don now” announced Celia at the door. There was a mad rush for the door and just then Don got out of his new Ford Eight and opened the door for his wife. Mrs. Grubbs was no sooner out than the four ambitious ex-football players hit him with such a bang that after the dust had settled somewhat they found him lying on the other side of the car. “Hello you old Grubb,” teased Les, “how is Mrs. Grubbs and all the little Grubbs by this time?” “Why, hello Les, how is Mrs. Miller and all the little Moths,” he an- swered with his ready wit. The four then picked him up an carried him bodily into the house where they soon had him telling the following story: THE CENTENNIAL “I graduated with you boys and then went to work the following August for Mr. Brown of Box Elder. I worked for him two years and in the mean- time was married to Zella Vanover. But I got cold feet and took a trip to Reno to get a divorce. One year, seven months and three and one-half days later, if I remember correctly. I was married to Helen here,who has made a very wonderful wife. I bought two sections of land at Box Elder and have lived there ever since. Bytheway my family ought to be getting here soon, they were following behind in a truck!” Chuck was next on the program and began thus: “I waited until Celia had graduated, then we were married and went to live with my folks. We had a bumper crop in ’29 and so I bought this place and have lived there since.” “Ted I guess you’re next,” announced Les, “and if you tell us all about yourself we’ll then give you a report on the rest of the class. Ted had a long, sad, hard luck story. “After I graduated I went to college and took a public speaking course together with a course in law. I ran for governor in 1934 and no doubt would have been elected but for a batch of hard luck. While campaigning one day, one of the farmers had to take off his shoe, to get a tack out of his foot. He set the shoe on my platform and it got the best of my stomach and now I’ve been riding in the open for two years trying to recover my ap- petite.” “Hooray for Ted,” cried Les, “I knew you wouldn’t be an old withered up cowpuncher of your own accord. “Who would you like to hear from next?”, asked Kenneth. “Hazel Flatness”, everyone cried. “You tell them about Hazel, Les, as yon know her much better thanl do.” “I guess you’re correct about that,” Les answered, settling himself com- fortably in a big chair. “Well, to begin with, I want to correct you as to her name. She is now Hazel Hall. She and Earl were married in the happy'‘Ping time’ as Earl used to call it and weiit down to Pasadena, California, for their honeymoon. While there, Earl, who was always handy with machinery, was offered a contract as chief engineer in a factory. Hazel has made a very ef- ficient housewife. They have a very nice home and get along wonderfully well. Hazel invited us up to look over the place as she is very proud of it. When we went inside we were greatly amazed at the number of “little halls” in the house but refrained from saying anything and had a splendifer- ous time. 1 There was silence for a moment and then someone asked, “How about Bessie Arnold?” “Bessie is still her sweet self,” said Kenneth, ’“she is playing piano solos at station I. N. A. R. for Sears Roebuck and company. She plays won- derfully well and has a position in the New York Theatre as soon as her contract with Sears expires. She is getting $500 a week now and told us she was content to remain single as long as she could command such a salary as that.” “Say,” said Don, “Hows old John Jenkins, I’ll bet he’s a prominent man somewhere.” You bet he is”, Les exclaimed, “he lives at West Minister Abbey at Lon- don and is a writer of critics and satires. He handed us a lot of advice as usual and told us how to make an interesting report. He is a very distin- guished man there but expects to move back to New York soon. He has acquired a vast fortune. It’s too bad some of us couldn’t be bom as he was.” THE CENTENNIAL Sure sounds like John all right,” vouched Ted, “do you remember how he used to argue in class ? He surely knew his stuff though.” “How about Nell O'Malley?” asked Chuck. “Oh she is in old Ireland now,” stated Kenneth, “she and Steve went there five years ago and inherited a fortune when a rich uncle died. They are in the hardware business now and Nell's commercial course helps out considerably as she keeps all the books and accounts.” “We sure have a surprise for you guys though,” said Les, “its about Ursulla Craft. When I saw her over in Scotland I was sure dumbfounded, but when I heard she was married to Scotty McMillan you could have knocked me over with a straw.” “Its true all right ', said Kenneth. “She and Scotty are living on the Highlands of Scotland. They are in the goat business and have a vast herd of “goats and kids” Due to her High School training Ursulla has made a very efficient housewife. Scotty, who still scrimps and saves showed us that he is making a profit of one dollar and thirty-seven and three-fourths cents a day off his goats. He said, however, that he expected greater returns when the kids get full grown.” “Lavina must have taken to teaching, didn’t she?” asked Ted, when Ursula’s story was finished. “She used to enjoy all the Normal Training studies.” “You guessed correct, for once,” remarked Kenneth, “she is now a full fledged teacher and has about 75 pupils. She is teaching Economic Civics and Sociology in the Helena High School. When she graduated from Big Sandy she taught rural schools for four years going to summer school each summer. In 1930 she was offered a position as grammar teacher in Great FalTs, which she accepted and scon received advancement after advance- ment until now she is in great demand as a teacher over the state.” “I suppose Jim Mason and Abbie Lund were married and lived mushily ever after,” laughted Don. They sure used to be thick in school” “You’re not much of a guesser,” smiled Les, “Abbie and Harry Bitz were married in 1930 and this quite broke Jim’s heart. He went into the brokerage business and was fairly successful but he was not content with suich small business so he went into partnership with a Jew called Ikey Good. His daughter Ikeepa Good was a very beautiful girl and soon won Jim’s heart. Soon after they were married they started the Ikeepa Good Penny Store at Chicago. They have a good trade and are progressing faster than you might think.” “Don’t forget Myra”, reminded Chuck, after a short silence. “Oh yes,” began Kenneth, “Myra hit it pretty lucky. After she grad- uated she taught school for three years,then when Mr. Moe got the position of superintendent of schools in Chicago,111., Myra applied for a position as principal of one of the high schools, and has been there ever since. “While we are talking of Chicago we must not forget to mention that Mrs. Moe, of course went along with Prof, and has been a very efficient Debate Coach there since 1931”. “How about Helena,” asked Ted?, “Gee haven’t you heard of her before? You who are so well posted on politics and news. Well after Helena graduated she worked two years longer for Mr. Mills and then received her Union membership. After that she held various positions in Chicago for five years. By that time she was financially fixed to establish a shop of her own. So three years ago she returned to THE CENTENNIAL Montana and set up a printing establishment at Helena. And is now editor of the Helena Daily News and the Helena Monthly. “Tell us about Hilda next , spoke up Don, “I’ve always remembered her since I sat besde her at school . “That’s right, we almost forgot about her, answered Kenneth. “She has certainly changed from the girl whom you knew at Big Sandy. She made good use of her teaching ability and started to teach at Lewistown, Montana. However she did not remain there long because of her desire to travel. A few years after that she went to France and has never been back since. “Sounds like a tragedy, remarked Leslie, “but it is more of a romance as she married a man by the name of Louis Franeau. She is now living in high state among the sweet fragrance and rich wines of sunny France. “Well Les, tell us about yourself, demanded Chuck. “Me? Oh, I haven’t much to tell.” “Yes you have”, said Kenneth, but since your so darn modest, I’ll tell on you and I won’t spare you either. You folks remember him saying awhile ago that he knew Hazel Flatness better than I. Well, the reason for that was because when he went to high school he spent all of his spare time over at her house making love to her sister Mildred. It may have been puppy love, but it must have been deep, because when he came back after graduating from college they were married. They went on a trip abroad for their honeymoon.’’ “I suppose you are wondering how he got all of his money for this? Well, before he went to college he made a good investment in a Silver Mine near Helena. It proved successful and he came right to the front. “Well I’ll say you sure told all you knew , said Les, “so now I’m going to squeal on you “plenty good. ’ “He worked his way through college after completing high school and specialized in the banking business. After many promotions he was offered the position of president. “I have something else to tell you that will surprise you, on doubt. You all remember how slow Kenneth was when it came to girls. Well now this is the way the story goes: Kenneth had to make a business trip to Wyoming to see about some banking connections. The man whom he went to see, Mr. Hope, had a very beautiful daughter named Fannie. Well, one visit called for another and now Fannie is wearing a diamond, and I hope we all will be invited to the wed- ding soon. “Oh certainly, I’d be tickled to have you there, said Kenneth. Soon after the speeches were finished there was a general stir about the place as Mrs. Ensley announced dinner. Speech was forgotten until hearty appetities were satisfied then there was much gayity and merry making. “Well Les, it isn’t at all polite to eat and run, said Kenneth, “but you know we must make it to Billings by 10:00 o’clock tonight. “I certainly hate to see you boys go, said Chuck, “butt now you’ve got me located, I hope you can come over often. Soon the plane was gliding easily back to the place of the previous meeting of the three old chums. But as they neared the place where Ted’s horse was left something horrible happened. The plane could not be made to descend, but when Kenneth pulled a lever it began to ascend with great rapidity until Kenneth lost complete control over it. Faster and faster they went, headed straight toward the sun and the heat becoming more terrific each second until finally when Ted thought he could stand it no longer a strange thing happened. Our rider sat up on the hot ground and rubbed his sleepy eyes. His THE CENTENNIAL horse had moved and was grazing a little way off, while the sun still beat mercilessly down upon the land. “Lord what a dream,” exclaimed Ted, shivering a little in spite of the heat. “This infernal heat will get the best of me yet. I really wonder if such a dream could be true?” LESLIE MILLER, ’26 KENNETH RAY, '26 THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF ’26 We, the Seniors of ’26 of the Big Sandy High School of Big Sandy, Mont., do on the forth coming day of our departure from our Castle of Wis- dom and Knowledge, with all the joys and sorrows which accompany such a life, do hereby collectively and respectively will, forfeit and bequeath the uncon:.sum:d knowledge including all the joys and sorrows (with full rights and possessions!, which we find inconvenient, undesirable or otherwise im- practical to take with us, to various members, classes and the community as a who.e.

ITEM To the Freshman Class, we the Senior Class of ’26, bequeath all our air castles which many times gave us zero in our lessons because we trust- ed to luck and our ability to say the right thing at the right place rather than diligent study. ITEM To the Sophomores, we give, bequeath and devise all the mistakes we have ever made. We, as a class, feel that this is a most important gift be- cause by our mistakes we learn more than ever comes to us in any other way and if our own mistakes are so beneficient. how much more so must be those of others when they become our property. ITEM To the Juniors, the Seniors of Tomorrow, we give our well known abil- ity to see mountains where there are only ant hills and our ability to co- operate at all times, thus avoiding all difficulties, to obey rules and regula- tions and thus to win the respect and admiration of the student body and teachers; last but not least, we will to the Juniors our place in the assembly room which we request them to keep orderly, tidy and free from wads of gam and waste paper and thus may their section of the study room become an example for the under classes as it has in the past. ITEM We, the Class of ’26 bequeath to any class worthy of a sound, energetic advisor our beloved sponsor Mrs. M. P. Moe, who has aided us faithfully and wisely in our class activities the past four years. ITEM To Prof. I. E. White, our friend and instructor, we donate all the malt- ed milk tablets, cough lozengers and extract of peppermint water still un- THE CENTENNIAL consummed which may be found in the various desks and corners of the “Ag” room so that he may reduce the H. C. L. since he has assumed such great financial and family responsibilities. ITEM To the community we will and bequeath our remarkable stock of common sense which we hope will aid them in their favorite subject “What I Would Do If I Were a Member of the School Board of Education of District No. 11.” ITEM I, John Jenkins, trusting that I will not have to put my long legs In motion to avoid getting late to school do hereby will my unmeasurable land- eating stride to Helen McHose so that she will be able to wear an “On Time” buttom and avoid getting “bawled Out”. ITEM I, Leslie Miller, do hereby, with no reservation whatever, will and be- queath my subterranean, sheikish ways and quiet, calm disposition to Elmer Lindstrom. ITEM I, Hazel Flatness, will to Edith Black, because of her love for souven- iers as demonstrated by her in the Junior Play, all my well filled composi- tion books which testify to my long career of studiousness. ITEM I, Bessie Arnold, about to depart from the school of learning and hair slick shieks do hereby in the presence of John Jenkins Sr., Chas. Ensley Jr. and Ted Homan Esq. bequeath Inar Rovreit to any girl who can get the coveted one. ITEM I, Hilda French, believing that it is more blessed to give than receive v. ill and bequeath my attractive ways and common sense to Helen Tingley, to help her in her quest for a man. ITEM I, Nell O'Malley, after spending many years to accomplish my winning smile and attractive blue eyes do will them to Zella Vanover and demand that she use them before she takes a man over. ITEM “I, Lavina Inglebretson, having no more use for my lithe, willowy form, bequeath it to Elizabeth Lundy. ITEM I, James Mason, including my heart and lucky penny, do on the day day will them all and two, to Miss Abbie Lund. ITEM I, Chas. Ensley, believing in the doctrine of self sacrifice, do on the day of my departure from the Big Sandy High School will a few of the various things that we need but can get along without: 1. My Shiekish ways and stammering hints to Gerald Stack. 2. My ability to gain the office of Class President to any one in school. 3. My ability to preside over the Fathers' and Son's banquet where I discovered that I must tell the story and let the rest laugh—? ITEM I, Myra Mack, finding it unnecessary to the teaching profession be- queath my exceedingly plumb form to Mildred Drew. ITEM I, Ted Homan, about to depart from High School athletics and the re- ports that follow the games, do bequeath my ability as a public speaker and THE CENTENNIAL orator of every occasion to Charley Cole and sincerely hope he will not lose his voice through lack of exercise. Another intimate friend is Scotty McMillan and I will to him my most efficient reading glass, which I use to decipher my own writing, so that he may be able to discover not only errors in English but also mere commas, periods, colons and exclamation points. ITEM I, Ursulla Craft, bequeath to any one my ability to forget, forget for- get and forget.

TED HOMAN '26. Scotty Me.: Bitz, I will give you two-bits if you kiss Abbie. Bitz: That would be just the same as being hung. Miss Orvick: Elmer, give me a sentence with the word “boycott” in it. Elmer: Farmer Jones chased his son and didn't catch him until his boy-cott on a wire fence. Ted Homan: Ever hear the joke about the antique dealer who had two skulls of ColumbuJs, one when he was a boy and the other when he was a man? John Jenkins: N-o-o, What is it? THE CENTENNIAL Abbie throwing arms around Chuck Ensley: “Charlie you are a nice fel- low! Gee, but I like you.” Chuck: “Bub—Bub—B—B—B—B—B.” Quist: “What is the difference between Ammonia and pneumonia?” Inar: “I don't know.” Quist: “Why, ammonia comes in bottles, and peumonia comes in chests.” Mr. Quist: What is zinc?

John Jenkins: No, but I have heard about the Scotchman that squeezed the penny so hard that old Abe Lincoln gave the second Gettysburg address. GIFTORIAN SPEECH MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1926: Our high school days are ending. For most of us three or four of the pleasantest years of our lives. We are leaving the guidance of our teachers and stepping out into the bigger and broader field—life. With this fact in mind it seems quite fitting and proper that we receive some little g ift of remembrance—some token by which we may refresh our memories of these happy days. Upon me has fallen the immense task of selecting and presenting to you these little gifts. Indeed, it has not been an easy matter to select them any more than for your friends to select your birthday or Christmas present, but I have done it the best I could. I have endeavored to choose gifts that are symbolical of your life in this school. I sincerely hope you will be pleased with them. Some people place their faith in mankind, some in clothes, some in one thing and some in another. Ursulla has lots of faith so I present this clothes pin to her. She may pin it to whatever she wishes. Since Ted is probably the most needful just now, we will hasten to pre- sent him with this bottle of “Balm for a broken heart” to alleviate his suf- fering when he has a quarrel with Mildred. To be taken hourly, daily or weekly as occasion demands. To Hazel our Senior carnival Queen, and also valedictorian of our class, THE CENTENNIAL we present this crown and scepter. May she weild her scepter for good enchantment only and I'm sure this crown will never make her head lie uneasy. Kenneth, this drum is for you to drum up many good time and learn to keep time through the march of life. Since Helena seems to have chosen the printing business as her life's vocation, we wish to help her all we can in her lino-type profession so we present her with just that—a line o' type. With perfect confidence in our choice we present this cake of yeast to Leslie to enable him to raise the Flatness or rise to the Flatness and so win her.. To save Charles so much worry and many needless steps, it is our privilege to present him with this wonderful “Book of Toasts.” There may not always be a Senator near by when Charles is called upon to preside over the act as toast master. And, Hilda, this rattle will enable you to “rattle through life” even when you get a car to drive instead of a Ford. Don't worry any longer over that old bug, John, here’s a nice new one for you. And this one will navigate too. It won't need gas or new tires and the wires won’t get out of commission. For Lavina, this frying pan will be handy to fry the one egg or the two slices of bacon for her breakfast when she is all alone in a country school marm's teacherage. James mustn't be kept in suspense any longer. He’s longingly looking at this cow you see. Yes, James, this is for you and Abbie to help you that much when you establish your farm near Box Elder. That Nell may more easily reenter her housewifely duties, she is to receive this well filled box of kitchen supplies. While it may not contain everything, the most essential things are there to be sure. To Don, we give this horn. Now we know he can toot his own hprn, so we need never worry about his future. To Signe, one of our post graduates, I present this balloon so that she may ever fix her eyes far above the common place of life as she goes out to guide the future citizens. To Cora, another graduate of our N. T. Dept., we give this note book hoping that it will remind her to write her lesson plans each day. Bessie, you and I are last but least', so will divide what is left. You may have this stick of candy with a fishhook on one end. Now you can surely recapture Inar with such a sweetened bait. This cane will be my support through my future years. And to our Sponsor, tried and so true, we present this bow of white anJ bue. Then to the President of the Junior Class I have been delegated to give this key, which admits you to the realm of the Senior Class. This key car- ries with it freedom from the shackles of the lower classes, it admits you to the realm of greater privileges and superior advantages. It is the open door to the coveted throne to supremacy—rthat of a Senior. Let me admonish you to keep this key from rusting, lubricate it with the oil of industry and preseveranee, as we have done, so that you may turn it over to the Seniors of '28 as we have done to you. In closing, I wish to say that I hope you will make good use of these gifts or that you will treasure them through the future years. My parting wish is that there may be many happy years in store for you. Myra Mack '26. THE CENTENNIAL SENIOR CLAS.S POEM Tell me not in mournful letters That our grades are all a dream For we have learned from our betters And we are not quite so green. Knowledge is real, we are earnest And a college is our goal We must work, “To farm returneth Was not spoken by our souls. All enjoyment and no sorrow Are the paths we'd like to trod But we'll find the stones are many As along life’s road we plod. We the Seniors now are leaving And it is more than right That we leave advice behind us, To help others in the fight. In the future when you're roving Be not like a pile of bricks Be progressing, keep on going Like the Class of '26. Trust no liquor, however pleasant, Let the ‘Chesterfields' alone Go to bed at nine each evening And with pain you'll never moan. Lives of Seniors all remind us, We can always do our best. And departing leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest. Notebooks that perhaps a Junior Verging on the very brink Seeing all the well earned 90's, Will take heart and will not sink. Let us then at graduation When into the world we pass Give three cheers for old Big Sandy And the worthy Senior Class. LESLIE MILLER '26. THE CENTENNIAL ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS We the Senior class of 1926, most notable, honorable, respectable and best looking do hereby on our departure from the castle of knowledge, our beloved high school bequeath the Juniors of today, the Seniors of to- morrow a little kindly advice that we sincerely hope will be used in their school year to come. It is not because we are older, more intelligent, or better looking what we do this, but it is because you the Seniors of next year need the advice to succeed and make the school what it should be. You are taking our places not full filling but just occupying them for it would be impossible to have as efficient class members as we have had, two good classes cannot come in succession, it would be unintelligible to think so. You as a class have done well but the test comes when you are a senior and only by your untireing work and our adivce will you be able to scale the wall. In the past you have been too boisterous, unstudious and lacking in judgement. You will have to calm down, settle down, get your lessons and be courteous to the teachers. Certain members are not what they should be. Scotty McMiIlian, for instance is getting too extravagant with his money and not living up to his Scotch blood. He threw a penny away last winter, which, by all means, is a disgrace to Scotland. Abbie Lund ruined the Masons, she will have her conscience to settle with. Inar Rovriet is fool- ing with Dot’s this will have co be stopped immediately. Helen McHose has a natural born man killer nature she’s killed more men by her mean ways than the world war. Edith Black will have to abandon her flirtatious ways or she is liable to be a Holst. Mable Clark and Charles Cole are getting too intimate all there is between them is a marriage license. Bob Moe is get- ting too studious he is likely to get the brain fever. Mildred Sivertsen has pierced more hearts than Cupid himself, this will have to be stopped if suc- cess as a Senior is desired. These are just a few of your faults there are too many to mention, all of these difficulties will have to be over come. We are telling you. a few of your faults with hopes that they will be rem- edied, but this can be done only by overcoming them within the next year. Will you be able to keep the Purple and Gold waving on high and keep the High School from sinking in oblivion. Do not indulge too much in the pursuit of happiness, get your work first and happiness will come later. So with saddest regrets we leave wishing you success although we know you cannot possibly come up to the standards of the Class of 26’. TED HOMAN.

The original enrollment was thirty-seven members, but several were left by the wayside before our first year was over. The class was organized and class motto, colors, and flower were chosen. Miss Stark became the sponsor. As Freshmen we earned the name of the Peppiest Class in high school by giving the first party of the year, and engaging in other activities. When we returned the next year as Sophomores, we again took the lead with Miss McMurtrey as our official guardian. By this time our class had dwindled down to eighteen members but this did not interfere with our pep, which we showed by again giving the first high school party, after the Mixer, on Valentine's Day. Our special part in the Carnival was the Sophomore play “At the Movies”. We also had a candy stand, with the Freshmen. THE CENTENNIAL The second year of our high school life ended with a successful picnic given in honor of the Senior class. The Junior class enrollment of twenty-nine so far exceeded that of the year before, that we felt equal to doing great things. We started by taking an active part in the Carnival, at which our class queen, Mildred Flatness, won second place. In all our activities the first semester we were greatly assisted by Miss McMurtrey, who, again was appointed our class sponsor. Before she left in the middle of the year, we expressed our appreciation of her help, by surprising her with a farewell party. Mr. Moe then became our sponsor. Our class has always been well represented in athletics, particularly this year. The following Juniors were on the football team, Arthur Holst, Herbert Goecks, Perle Cline, Verlin Hurd, Carl Christoff erson, and Leon- ard Hetland. In boys basketball our class was represented by Leonard Het- land, Inar Rovreit, Ralph McMillan, Charles Cole, Perle Cline and Verlin Hurd. The girls basketball team also consisted mostly of Junior girls, the following being members: Geneva Pearson, Myrtle Christoff erson, Louise Works, and Mamie Pokorny. “Professor Pepp” our Junior Play has not yet been given, but we are working hard and hope it will be one of the best ever given in this high school. The cast is as follows: Prof. Peterkin Pepp, Leonard Hetland Mr. C. B. Buttenbuster Inar Roverit Howard Green Sim Batty Peddler Brown Pink Hatcher Buster Brown Noisy Fleming Betty Gardener Herbert Goecks Arthur Holst Verlin Hurd Robert Moe Elmer Lindstrom Ralph McMillan Abbie Lund Aunt Minerva Boulder Mildred McCoy Petunia Muggins Madeline Kessler Olgo Sopaki Kitty Clover Vivian Drew Irene Van Hilt Caroline Kay Mamie Pokorney Edyth Black Mildred Flatness Geneva Pearson Ruth Johnson With Mrs Moe’s help, we plan to make it a grand success. After our play is over we shall give the Junior Prom, and show the Seniors what we can do by putting on the crowning touch to our social act- ivities. The Prom will be followed by a class picnic and then we will adjourn for the summer vacation, to return next fall as Seniors. The Junior class owes a great deal to its former sponsor Miss McMur- try, as well as to our present sponsor Mr. Moe and we extend our heartiest thanks to both for their interest and help in guiding our class to success. 1, 2, 3, Rip, Rah, Ree What's the rumpus Who are we?

We were more than grateful in receiving Miss Hutchinson as our competent sponsor. Immediately our class organized, electing the following officers for the complete term: President Leonard Hetland Vice-President Eleanor Hetland Treasurer Ruth Ensley Secretary Alma Ruhe Our Motto, “Beyond the Alps lies Italy”, has also remained with us throughout our freshman year. Being true to the high school, we chose green as our class color. The duty of hosts and hostesses was in our line, so the party, at which we entertained the eighth grade, was everything but a fail- ure, We exhibited the talent in our class, by taking an active part in the Carnival. The Junior class showed their sisterly love by inviting us to partake of the joys of picnicing which closed our school term, only to re- turn to Big Sandy high school as sophomores. In September 1925, with a loss of a few old members, we continued our THE CENTENNIAL scholarship race. The new officers, who were elected for the entire term were: President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Sponsor Emma Ruhe Wesley Kimble Ruth Ensley Eleanor Hetland Miss Weston Our knowledge along the line of social activities had greatly expanded so we entertained the high school at a party, which was a roaring success; to say nothing of the enjoyable evening spent around the camp fire with the frosh as oufr guests. Various members of our class took part in Athletics, glee club, declamation, and some have partaken of the pleasures of exemp- tion. We, as sophomores, do not say farewell to our classmates, but—“Till we meet again”, as juniors.

They were all eligible to fill the respective rows of hopeful Freshmen. The rooms were so small, they were so big, and every eye was set upon them as it has upon those who had preceded them for years. Having their ambitions so closely watched somewhat ruffled them, but they soon became accustomed to the mad rush and settled down like old timers. With Miss Orvick as their sponsor the organized class, aided by the fac- ulty, has gained an enviable reputation. The Freshmen boys won two foot- ball games from the Junior High boys, and therefore the class was enjoy- ably entertained by the losers on November 13. The class has also been well represented in basketball for both the boys and girls won over the Junior High, meaning that they deserve a party. They are looking forward with anticipation to a royal, well earned reception as a result of their superiority. In another way they did not differ from former Freshmen. They too, were subject to initiation. This memorable event took place Oct. 23, when the N. B. Club celebrated their annual initiation of new members and the recep- tion committee would not allow them to enter the place of entertainment unless with something green. Though unexpected, they survived the ordeal, and from then on considered the upper classmen very tame. The class demonstrated their dramatic ability in the High School Carnival held November 25. Their part in the side shows was a pantomime, “Gertrude the Governess”, a dialogue “Romeo and Juliet,” and a Goop Act. In another side show “Those Husbands of Ours” the Freshmen netted more than any other class did in side shows. Their income was over twenty-five dollars on that show alone, which is indeed worthy of mention. The Freshman class matched their mental capacity with other picked members of the high school and the district, at Havre Saturday, April 3. They found they rated no lower than the upper classmen. Helen Mills went as a representative, from the class in English I and General Science, while Emma Pokorny was sent for Algebra and General Science. Helen Mills scored second in English I in the district with a grade far above the contestant who THE CENTENNIAL placed third, and took second in General Science. Adella Ophus took Algebra and English I and took first in English I. Many of the boys of the class have taken the agricultural course. Of these Nick Haburchak and Glenn Hansen were sent to Bozeman on the stock judging team and helped the school place tenth in that line. John Moe epresented the Agricultural Club at Bozeman. Some of the pupils of the Frosh class have developed their voices by taking Glee Club. The Boys' Glee Club has the following Freshman members: Alex Dorchak, Nick Haburchak, Rolland Tesh, Henry Bitz, Frank Pokorny, and Leon Watson. Emma Pokorny, Mary Haburchak and Helen Tingley take Girl’s Glee Club. John Moe, Albie Larson, Glenn Hansen, Raymond Mack, Harold Jenkins, John Schacker, Frank Pokorny, Nick Haburchak and Rolland Tesh took part in basketball. The Freshman girls’ team consisted of Phoebe Black, Genevieve Bierly, Helen Mills, Emma Pokorny, Margaret Miner and Adella Ophus. Emma Pokorny, Myme Hanson, and Adella Ohpus are attempting dec- lamation. The above instances go to prove that their class can boast of both men- tal and physical talent. For various reasons Gordon Tyler, Gottliek Schacker, Harry Henderson and Anna Boehmer withdrew during the year.

Tis true—it started out rather weak and puny, but with the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Moe, the communities support and Miss Weston’s care it has developed into a sturdy child. Twenty-six girls have received an idea of what it means to keep near, clean and well mended clothing ready for use. After beginning with the fundamental stitches and simple seams, they now can make garments that are worthy of praise. They can help you in your selection of material for a costume suitable to any occasion and give advise in remodeling a last year’s garment. The book, “Secrets of Distinctive Dress” has disclosed facts that they are not hesitant about using. Thirty-three girls completed a course in Hot Lunches for Rural Schools, studying food values and their relation to child growth and development. They actually organized and managed the serving of a hot dish to the class. Thus they solved the problems of care of equipment; preparation of food; serving and management of the children during the noon hour, some girls go out from this course next fall to put it into actual practice. The ladies of the town, twenty-five in number have completed an eve- ning extension course in sewing which has proved helpful and interesting. The aims of the course is to give the girls training in the art of home making so that they can make the best of their opportunities and themselves in life. Plans are being made for a better and bigger department next year. THE CENTENNIAL AG CLUB At the beginning of the term, the Ag Club was reorganized. A new constitution was adopted and the following officers were elected: Ted Homan President Arthur Holst Vice-President Charles Ensley Secretary-Treasurer Our first social affair, was an Ag party for the members of the club in honor of our freshman members. The affair was held in the farm shop building, music was furnished by some of our more talented members. Over- alls and aprons, were the rule—so we were not afraid of spoiling our clothcF and a good time was enjoyed by all. Meetings of the Ag Club were held every two weeks and much benefi derived therefrom. Music and games were sometimes the order, while a several meeting we were addressed by business men of the town. Later the Ag. Boys put on a dance after one of the basketball games, to make funds to send a delegate to the Boys' Vocational Congress and Stock Judging contest held in Bozeman last February. On March 27th, came our big event of the year. The “Ag Bawl”, our annual dance, the boys worked hard on this prop- osition and as a result, put it over big. Many remarked that the hall was very tastefully decorated, and as every one is always pleased with Jackson’s orchestra. A good time was enjoyed by all. The “Home Ec. Girls” put on a very good luncheon at the “Bawl” and we wish to thank them for their cooperation. School is now drawing to a close and many of us will not return next year, but have enjoyed our work under the instruction of I. E. White, and are assured that you, the underclassmen wnll continue to make the “Ag. Club” the livest organization in school. JOHN JENKINS '26. THE STOCK JUDGING TEAM Friday January 30th the average grades for Stock judging in the Ani- mal Husbandry class, was taken. The six highest men were honored by a trip to the Boys' Vocational Conference at Bozeman. John Hemenway, was delegate for the Senior class. Carl Christofferson was chosen as Junior delegate. As the Ag Club is an active organization, they were represented by the next highest student being, John Moe. The others were Nick Haburchak, Glenn Hansen and Clinton Butler. Members of the Smith Hughes Stock Judging team were John Hemen- way, Nick Haburchak and Clinton Butler. The last week of judging stock around Big Sandy, was quite exciting THE CENTENNIAL and many of the decisions on the stock were similar to debates. Although “The Golden Rule was often forgotten in class work, the team was backed I. E. White, Coach Clinton Butler Glenn Hansen _____________________ Nick Haburchak________________ by the class in the finals. The trains on the way to Bozeman were quite crowded, each seat hold- ing three or four boys. By running extra trains, from Helena to Bozeman avoided this, somewhat. Good Stock was put up to be judged. The beef cows were large Here- fords. The rest of the stock were similar to that of this vicinity. After the judging was over we went through the barns and other build- ings at the college. We didn’t place very high, as stockjudgers, getting ninth place but we are hoping the future teams have better luck and keep Big Sandy on the map a little longer. We all had a good time thanks to Mr. White who tried in every way to make the trip enjoyoble. At the conference we heard speakers on every business and profession, some of them being: E. J. Flynn, Tom Davis, C. N. Afnett, Lew L. Calloway and J. M. Hamilton. CLINTON BUTLER '28 CARNIVAL The sixth annual high school Carnival was a greater success than ever before. The sum of $684.44 was realized, which was paid in the Com- munity hall debt. Friday night December 5, 1925 “The Great American Circus was staged, managed by Mrs. M. P. Moe. Any one who missed it, certainly missed a chance of a life time. Following the circus, a boxing and wrestling match was shown in the high school building. A play “Those Husbands of Ours, given by the freshmen girls, immediately followed. Saturday afternoon, December 6, booths and side shows were opened. Each class had a booth where they sold candy, pop com balls, gum and sandwiches. Of the side shows the “Menagerie, especially drew a large crowd. “The Japanese Fortune Teller also attracted a great many, who were curious about their futures. Saturday night the main show, composed of ten acts, managed by Mrs. Moe, was very successful, and was attended by one of the largest crowds in the history of the hall. After the main show a boxing and wrestling match was staged in the high school building. Art Holst was winner of the boxing match and Alex Dorchak of the wrestling match. When the fight was over the people returned to the hall where a big dance was in pro- gress. At one o'clock the carnival queen votes were counted and Hazel Flat- ness the Senior candidate won by a laiige vote, 3155. Each year the Carnivals have excelled the ones previous, and no doubt next year’s will reach our expectations. HELENA JORGENSEN ’26, THE CENTENNIAL NORMAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT MOTTO “BE NOT LIKE OUR COLORS” COLORS RUST and GREEN The Normal Training department of the Big Sandy High School has enlarged and and grown considerably since last year when it was added io the curriculum. This year in addition to the regular subjects offered, a course in Home Economics has been added. The N. T. Club was organized shortly after school opened. The follow- ing offcers were elected: President Hazel Flatness Vice-President Myra Mack Sec.-Treas. Bessie Arnold The following new members were added: Mldred Flatness, Alice Flat- ness, Mamie Pokomy, Ruth Johnson, Celia Larson, Madeline Kessler, Mildred Sivertson, Ursulla Craft, Signe Bcrgby and Cora Simonsen. The club has conducted several very successful parties this year. Th? THE PRIMARY CLASS_______________________ first one being the initiation party, admitting the new members to the class. After initiation delicious refreshments were served. The second was given by the club as a farewell party, at the Wolver- THE CENTENNIAL ine Hotel, for Blanche Marty Mackenstead. This was conducted as a sur- prise and a piece of silverware was presented to her by the members of the class. The last party was a surprise on Myra Mack and Esther Kueslt, who had completed the course. They were surprised at the Wolverine Hotel and the entire group then went to the Arnold home, where a social evening was en- joyed. Games and cards were indulged in and after a clever luncheon the party dispersed. The N. T. Girls presented each of the honor guests with a memory book in which the girls had written their autographs. RUTH JOHNSON '21. CORA SIMONSEN P.G. GIRLS’ VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE The girls’ vocational conference was held in Bozeman, Montana the Id, 20 and 21 of November. The Big Sandy high school was represented by Hazel Flatness and Ruth Johnson. Hazel Flatness representing the Senior class and Ruth Johnson the Junior class. The purpose of the Conference was to g.ve t.ie girls a broader knowledge of the vocations for women. Speakers from many places, explained the different vocations, and gave the girls an idea of what is required of each different subject. STAGE EFFECTS OF JUNIOR PLAY THE CENTENNIAL N. B. CLUB The N. B. Club organized in 1921 and has very successfully carried on its social program. The initiation of the Freshman girls was the first social event of the school year. By the time the initiation exercises were over the Frosh thought they were perfectly capable of being N. B. members. At Christmas time, the N. B. Club entertained the H. S. and Faculty at a Christmas party. After Santa had distributed the various presents, the remainder of the afternoon was spent in dancing. On the 19th of March, the N. B. club girls, entertained their mothers by giving a party. The first part of the evening was devoted to a short pro- gram and the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games, after which a delightful lunch was served. The mothers congregated in the center of the Gym and gave the N. B. Club fifteen enthusiastic “rahjs”, which were heartily appreciated. RUTH ENSLEY, ’2S. GIRL’S BASKETBALL Last year the girls placed the Purple and Gold on the top. The same spirit was brought back this year when the large number of girls joined the squad. Plans were made for success but owing to difficulty in secur- ing outside games, activities were not as intense as our team hoped for. Miss Weston is entitled to much of the credit earned by the team which was gained through her efficient coaching. Only three games were played. One more was scheduled but it was cancelled on account of the ‘‘flu”. In the class games the Juniors came to the top. A game was also played with the ladies’ town team in which the high school were victorious. The team was made up of four Juniors, two Sophomores and one Fresh- man. All the girls will be back again next year with high spirit for success. The following made the team: Alma Ruhe-Forward, Ruth Green-Forward, Geneva Pearson-Center and Gaptain, {Myrtle Christofferson-Guard,. Lpuise Works-Guard and Mamie Pokomy-sub.

We arrived at our destination about 8:00 o’clock, the old Miltz ranch, on Eagle Creek.—Then for breakfast! Such appetites as we did have. Immediately after breakfast we hiked to the top of one of the surrounding mountain peaks, (that is, not all of us reached the top) where many very “romantic pictures” were taken. In fact, we did everything imaginable, from sitting in the creek and rolling down hills to pulling Ted’s ears. As much as we were enjoying ourselves we did not forget our class- mates and instructors, but showed our consideration for them, by bringing several interesting as well as appropriate gifts, which we presented to them during the assembly period, the following day, with several “formal” speeches. It was, no doubt, one of the most enjoyable days the seniors qver spent together, during their high school days. HELENA JORGENSEN ’26. Athletics in the Big Sandy high school this year were not as successful as we should have wished them to be, but every school has its ups and downs and this seemed to be one of the down? for Big Sandy, in this respect. The football season opened with several veterans of one year back with the squad. Seven games were played in which Big Sandy failed to win. The games and results were as follows: Chinook 12 Fort Benton 25 Havre Chinook Geraldine Fort Benton Geraldine Opponents September 25 Big Sandy 0 October 3 Big Sandy 13 October 9 Big Sandy 0 October 17 Big Sandy 0 October 24 Big Sandy 6 November 3 Big Sandy 0 November 7 Big Sandy 12 Total Big Sandy 31 Line-up: Coach, I.

In addition then are several eighth grade boys who will make some of the high school boys fight fo positions among whom we might mentioni: Arnold and Hjalniex Simonsen, Earl Smith. Myron Ensley, Harold Jenkins and Harley Homan will also make strong bids for a berth on the eleven. Prospects are better than they have been since the epoch making year 1923-1924, when Big Sandy won all District Championships for which they competed. Spring football practice started May 1st and from indications we shall be ready to go when school opens next fall. BOY’S BASKETBALL The basketball season was a little more successful from the stand- point of winning games than the previous year but there was no opportun- ity to really test the strength of the team as too much sickness made it necessary to change the line-up too often and to cancel several games.

Costs More To Build—and Is Worth More—Yet Sells for Less If any other manufacturer endeav- ored to produce a car similar to the Ford according to the High Stand- ards of quality in material and work- manship used by the Ford Motor Com- pany and with the same tried and proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at anything like the pres- ent low Ford prices. If on the other hand, the Ford Mo- tor Company would substitute ordi- nary design for the basic Ford fea- tures, Ford cars would be produced and sold for less than the present low prices. Yet by so doing, Ford Sim- plicity, durability and reliability would fall below the standard insisted upon by the Ford Motor Company and es- tablished throughout twenty-two years of leadership. Just think! 13,000,000 Model TFord cars have been produced since 1908— almost as many automobiles as were built by all other manufacturers com- bined. In 1925, almost 2,000,000 Ford cars and trucks were built and sold, and plans for 1926 call for the pio- duction of even more than 2,000,000. Today, more than ever, the Ford car is the most popular automobile m the world. It was che superiority of Ford design in 1908 that established Ford leader- ship. It is this same Ford design, improved but basically unchanged that is continuing to make the Ford car the outstanding leader among all automobiles. Features that Contribute to Ford Simplicity_ DURABILITY—RELIABILITY Left- Hand Drive originally introduced on the Model T car in 1908 and since adopted for most American-made cars. Three Point Motor Suspension first used in 1908 and a feature of the Model T power plant for 18 years. Dual Ignition System is provided for Ford cars, (1) r'le Ford magneto and (2) the generator and storage battery. This has been a great factor in establishing the Ford reputation and reliability. Planetary Transmission costs more to build than the conven- tional sliding gear type but gives be - ter light car control. Multiple Disc-in-oil Clutch The multiple disc clutch is generally conceded to be the best and smoothest type for any car. The Ford clutch runs in oil. Thermo-Syphon Cooling System Extremely simple, always efficient. No water pump to require packing. Circulation of water is governed en- tirely by engine temperature. (Simple—Dependable Lubrication Exceedingly simple, combining the splash principle with gravity flow. No pump required. Torque Tube Drive The Ford Motor Company originated the Torque Tube in 1903—a driving- principle now embodied in many of the highest priced cars. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, DETROIT, MICH.
