The compilation of this, the eighth edition of the Centennial has meant much hard work as well as worry about finances. In order to raise the neces- sary funds, the Senior class has sponsored a play and various dances and dance suppers. However, it lias not all been work and worry. We hope that this book will give the same joy which has been ours in preparing it. We wish to thank Mr. Downs for his help. Page Four 1930 CENTENNIAL� T. A.

For the first number on the program Miss Edna Jacobsen, our well-known faculty adviser, will give a history of the famous class of ’30 of the Rig Sandy High School. Good evening, ladies and the inferior members of the audience. Ten years ago the class of ’30 graduated from the Big Sandy High School and tonite I am pleased to tell of the accomplishments of the members of this great class. Walter Porter—Aviator. In his early life he pursued the study of astron- omy but he never caught it. Everybody always thought he would rise over the heads of his classmates. He did—he became an aviator. To his native town he brought great renown by making the first-non-stop flight across Sandy Creek. The only food he carried with him on these great flights was a soup sandwich and an ice cream cone. He will win fame by inventing a radically different air- plane. It will be wingless, motorless, wheelless and bodvless. After the unneces- sary parts of the plane are removed it will be found that nothing is left. Paul Christofferson—Hobo. He has traveled all over the known civilized world today. His travels haven’t cost him a cent with the exception of the trip from Big Sandy to Fort Benton where they knew him. He has that knack of making people believe that he is indispensable to the trip and so they take him along. He has learned how to boil coffee in a tomato can and how to shave with a piece of bottle glass. From our last reports he was in Sydney, Australia. When he left here he was riding the rods. Be on the watch, he may be back again someday. Violet Marty—Dancer. Violet was such a big girl that she was advised to take up dancing for the purpose of acquiring gracefulness in movement. Not only has she succeeded in acquiring this trait but she has become one of the greatest toe dancers of the age. In fact she dances on everyone’s toes. Tonite she is dancing in one of the Broadway theaters and every time she stumbles she is violently applauded by a packed house. Ruth Svennungsen—Opera Singer. Ruth has reached the height of her am- bition which was to become a great singer. She is aiming at the famous stars of the Universe. Tune in on your radio June 31 at 12:65 station KICK at Tzek located in the Jungles of Africa. At this time she will sing “The 1 nseen Being from her broadcasting station at Dentine Cave, 562 Gum Chewing Avenue. Gladys MacDonald—Musician. Next to Paderewski she is considered the greatest pianist of the under world. Early in her career she gained fame by playing selections such as “The Dance of the Nymphs,’ “Sandy Rouser, and “March On,” to the tune of which the students of the high school would bound downstairs At present she is in South America teaching the Hottentots how to debate and is also trying the effect of music on the savage mind. She seems very successful in her work. Vera Nelson. I'm sure you'll be as surprised as I was to know that era has achieved success as a noted perfume specialist. She writes that she gets a fabulous salary for smelling perfumes and passing upon them (I think she means passing them on). For the time being, however, she is teaching Domestic 1930 Page Thlrtaen @@(3i Science in a school in Stockholm, Sweden—perfumery is merely a side line. I think her vocation will soon be housekeeping as she mentions a certain well known Swedish visitor-----quite often in her letters. Marion O’Neil- -Chiropractor and Toe Specialist. As will he remembered, Marion also took up muses training at the Deaconess Hospital in Great Falls. She must have gotten into the habit of rubbing people “down and washing their feet, for she is now a noted chiropractor and toe specialist at San Domingo, Mexico. She is quoted as saying, ‘‘It is exhilarating work—the dear breeds show such platitude, 1 mean gratitude in my vissitudes, and yet are so afraid to protrude, 1 mean intrude in my work.” So far she seems to be quite successful in her work. Bernice Linn—Nurse. Bernice met wiili outstanding success in the profes- sion which she took up after leaving high school. After three years of hard work and practical experience she became a full fledged graduate nurse. For several years she worked at the “Pink Pill” Hospital in Big Sandy which was owned and operated by I)r. Paul Sonksen. Then she journeyed to Alaska to render her services to these northern folk. She is now located in Scagway doing her best io convince the most brilliant Eskimo students to go to Big Sandy High School as Mr. Bruner would welcome them heartily—to the new school he has built 1 here. Clarence O’Neil—Sheik. Clarence in his early years will be a sheik—1 mean a shreik, but later he will repent. He has become one of the noted collect- ors of the country, and makes it his business to collect cannon, bombs, and small arms, with his main office in Chicago. He has also become a highly suc- cessful manufacturer of especially cheap guns for suicide use, and will live to the green old age of Dl) years. Harold Stack—Smith-Hughes Instructor. He is now an accomplished In- structor of Agriculture. He claims that his unusually great success is due to Hie boost (or perhaps he meant “boot”) given him by Mr. Brawner. At present he is interested in establishing an agricultural experience station 33 1-3 miles due east of the north pole. He hopes to extinguish himself by means of these experiments, his latest success is the breeding of fine polka-dot hogs of various colors for ornamental and decorating purposes. The favorite breed seems to be green and white which he exports to Ireland for Parlor use. Maybelle Bury—Noted traveling lecturer and parliamentarian. At present she is working in the schools in Russia. She claims her great success is due to her early training as Pres, of S.A.A. in the Big Sandy High School and to the fact that she has taken as her motto “If they don’t like it make them like it.” She travels in the famous Porter airplane. Minne Madison—World renowned dancer in the Green-Witch Follicles. The craze for the dance “Instepitis” is due to her skill in interpreting it for the public. She made her debut in the Big Sandy Community Hall in 1935 for the benefit of the Starving Armenians. Mary Benbow —A novelist and dramatist of great promise. Her famous novel “The Silent Women” has been chosen as the best novel for the year 1940. Her latest Play “Where She Told Him to Go” is enjoying great success in the Big Sandy Opera House. The house has been so packed that it was necessary to give three performances a night. It has been noticed, however, that the greatest (Oantiimed on Page 18) Pagre Fourteen 1930 W. CENTENNIAL 1930 Page Fifteen CENTENNIAL mWMWWMWWW CLASS WILL We, The Senior (Mass of 1930, of Big Sandy High School, of the city of Big Sandy, County of Chouteau, and State of Montana, being free from dandruff, halitosis, and feeblemindedness, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. First : We direct that our funeral expenses be paid from the Student Ac- tivities Association, General Fund. Second: To our Faculty, we will our gratitude and deep affection for their help and guidance. Third: To the Freshmen, we will with their trials and tribulations, the future joy of someday becoming a Senior, and the future happiness of at last being able to “look down” on someone. To you we bequeath the right to initiate the “Freshies.” Fourth: To the Sophomores, we will the right to be the most popular class in school, now that we are leaving. Fifth: To the Juniors, we bequeath the air of “Iamthemostimportantthing- inschool” feeling, Senior privileges with such limitations as prescribed by the Faculty. Sixth: Realizing our great responsibility in entrusting our unexcelled talent to younger hands, we solemnly make the following bequests: 1. I, Luella Larson, will my sunny disposition to Mr. Brawner who seems in crying need of it. 2. I, Violet Marty, bequeath my Palmolive complexion to Ivan Berg with hopes of increasing his popularity. 3. I, Ruth Svennungsen, bequeath my voice to any applicant who appears within sixty days after my departure. 4. I, Walter Porter, will my manly set of whiskers to Morton Larson, hoping he will be as proud of them as I. 5. I, Hope Walters, will my ever-ready purse to Mabel Shellhorn who is an- other addict. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. I, Mary Benbow, will my noneloquency to Retta Armstrong, which she may take or leave. T, Ann MacMillan, will my interest in the Diestler Drayage System to anyone interested. I, Gladys MacDonald, will my materials collected for my “Despair Barrel” to Elver a Arndt. I, Marion O’Neil, will my excess of slenderness to Dorothy Swanson and my ability as a messenger to Sig Dyrland, hoping that he will make use of it in the future. 1, Mildred Panchot, will my superfluous knowledge to Mildred Crofoot. I, Vera Nelson, will my studious habits to Pep Williford. T, Paul Christofferson, will my superior knowledge in class meetings to Harold Jenkins. I, Maybelle Bury, say that I have nothing to will and if I did have I wouldn’t will it anyway. I, Bernice Linn, will my specs to Ted Ritland, and my typing ability to Mr. Brawner hoping he make use of it in the future. I, Harold Stack, will my ability to get along with the opposite sex to Millard (Continued on Page 18) Paga Sixteen 1930 mmm centennial SENIOR CLASS PLAY The class of ’SO presented “A Pair of Sixes” on May 10. Two men have a thriving pill business, but they can’t agree as to which is the more important member of the firm. The disagreement is becoming so marked that there is real danger to I he business if it can't be settled. At last they agree to dissolve partnership, call in their lawyer—and disagree most violently over the method of procedure. Finally the lawyer draws up a contract whereby each promises to abide by the outcome of a game of poker—one hand, the winner controls the business for a year; the loser becomes the personal servant of the winner, sub- ject to fines for impertinence for the same year. The subsequent embarrassment of the married partner, who wins, and the predicament of the bachelor partner, about to be married, cause gales of laughter. The loser's sweetheart helps him out of his predicament, and there is a suggestion that the business can best be managed by both men. The cast is as follows: George B.

Great praise should be given to Miss Riddle who started her on her literary career. Ann MacMillan—devotes most of her time to research work in Sociology. At present she is compiling a list of debate topics for high school students— the most interesting of which are: Resolved: “That the world ain t what it used to be.” “There isn’t such a thing as nothing because everything is something.” Resolved: “That a woman is in the right even when she's wrong.” Resolved: “That the best way of cultivating the voice is to be yell leader of your school.” Yell leading has great cultural value for the voice. Hope Walters—proprietress of “La Petite Xoveltie Shoppe” where we notice that the following articles are for sale: a mechanical powder puff, gum guaranteed to keep its flavor on a bed post overnight, the new moonshine cloth which even though washed is still good, silent alarm clocks, and numerous other articles too useless to be mentioned. Madame Sulaski, formerly Mildred Panchot, has just returned from Paris according to the Big Sandy Daily News. She has been on a buying trip for her Fifth Avenue Modiste Shop and now is eagerly beset by well-known society women, begging for just a word with her, just a word as to whether or not the frocks next month will be the popular eighth of an inch longer or shorter; whether burlap or corduroy will be the popular trimming; and whether it would be advisable to send to Montward and (Joinery for dress materials. Not one word do they receive in answer. Madame Sulaski merely smiles and re- fuses to divulge any of her vast store of knowledge. Thelma Moe and Luella Larson—Managers of the Heart Throb Dude Ranch. Run exclusively for homeless, heartbroken heroes—saxophone players preferred. They try to shed rays of sunshine on the darkened paths of these men by providing upholstered saddles with shock absorbers attached, bitless bridles, padded spurs and cork roads. They also run a matrimonial agency as a winter sport finding this work amusing as well as profitable. Luella Larson, Thelma Moe. CLASS WILL (Continued from Page 16) Ray, and my football ability to—well—to Nobody. I may need it later in collitck. 16. 1, Thelma Moe, will my legendary sweethearts to other romantically in- clined girls in Big Sandy. 17.

Sir Porter: (anxiously) : Well, sir, y’see it was like this sir, it was rather marshy and when he was swimmin' sir, a turtle fastened its mouth on his toe and just about then sire Panchot began to sink, sir, and a mighty fowl swooped down upon him, mistaking his head for a mossy perch, sir, and—(heart- broken ly). Capt. Kackle-sea-sick: Shiver my timbers! There's dirty work afoot, sure! And is Panchot surviving? Sir Porter (warming up) : Aye, aye, sir—we have the unfortunate person lodged in the hermit's hut, sir. But I fear, sir, that he will be i 1 If it to continue the hunt. Capt. Kackle-sea-sick: It is indeed a riddle. We shall have to consult the chief. And—Porter—call Johnson, thy helpmeet. We shall have to consult the scroll. It is high time we engage a new staff for our new embarkment. Sir Porter: (apologetically) : Pardon, sir, but we were consulting the scroll sir, and we came upon the names, sir— Capt. K. (impatiently) : Aye, aye, and who are they? Sir Porter: Sire Larson in your place, sir, and young McKeever his help- meet. Paulus Sonkskin and Sire Moe guard the gold pot and keep (he scroll. Capt. Kackle-sea-sick: Very good; and what report of the treasure? Sir Porter: Bowed-in, Llars-in, Mac-durn-old and Ben-beau have discovered our whereabouts, sir; one thousand kilometers we are from the treasure, sir. ACT II The scene: South Sea Islands. The time: Autumn, 11)27. Capt. Smitt: I see a stranger coming up the path and by the engraving on yon’s bearskin, I should say he was honest and wise. Lips like the last rose of summer and eyes like the violets on the hill. M’arty warms to the presence. Aho! And here is our young Stack. And what brings ye up this fine morning? (Capt. is ignorant of (he “belles bonnie as a May Stack i’s of brains) : ’Tis a sad plight, sir; Sires Bowed-in and Roam-egg fell into (he sea of matrimony. (Very crestfallen.) Capt. Smitt—(characteristically ) : The devil ye say—'Tis indeed a sorry thing. Kackle-sea-sick no doubt will take command for Bowed-in. But—I say— are the gridirons at work? Call Creased-offer and Mac Keever. The enemy is at hand and our band must assemble. Who are our men for the coming season ? Stacks-of-ambition: Yourself and me in one partition sir, and sire Moe and Johnson and Llarson in the other. Mac Keever is to run the race, and rumors have it that he is an able body. (Exit Stack, with flourish.) ('apt. Smitt-in : The English are pesky intruders! Kackle-sea-sick! Llars-in! Response from without.) Capt. Smitt-in : Have you written my reports to the English Chief? Kackle-sea-sick and Llars-in (dutifully) : Aye, aye, sir. Capt. Smitt-in: Heardst thou who is furnishing jungle music around the sir, campfire? Kackle-sea-sick: Chief Hen-sing says we have a goodly lot of musicians from our crew. (Kackle-sea-sick and Llars-in exit and leave Smitt somberly facing the dawn.) ACT III The scene: South Sen Islands. The time: Autumn, 11)28. Capt. Llars-in (love) : And what’s this? Another specimen of the far east? Ho, there, ye young scoundrel—and what is thy name? Y hat? Ho! Ho! Svenn is enough and no more of your pranks, savvy? Wait—hast thou sighted a cun- ning pirate, small of stature, carrying a sheepskin? Alack! Three years has that one been carrying the scroll about. I fear his back is bent from the worry of it. Address that person as Moe and have him scratch thy name in bloodroot. Mow'd ye like to act in a show we are giving? Ah, ’tis the fete of the year—and worthy pirates are taking part, Mac Keever and Sonksldn and Mac-durn-old, and Linn. Aye, and that is not all. Smitt-in and Stack, too, are in it. 'Tis a great day for the pirates. (Brown enters.) Brown: I have consulted with Hensing, sir, and the singing parts are as- signed. Mac Keever has a bonnie voice and T hear young Svenn here warbles also. Smitt-in and Marty, too, are assigned a part. Tis a musical crew ye have here, 'twill be a happy occasion.

Class Colors: Red and White ('lass Flower: Carnation In '27 we, the class of 731, began the enjoyable life of high school students. We were forty-four in number and the largest class in school. With Miss Kid- die's guidance as sponsor, we completed that year as successfully as could be expected. When we returned the next year as Sophomores, we chose Mr. Henning as our official guardian. Some of our classmates had been left by the wayside, so we were only thirty-two in number. We sailed along on an easy gale, but, never- theless, we were well represented in all organizations. In the autumn of 1929, we entered into the third year of our high school career—to he known as the upper classmen. We achieved success in presenting “Cappy Ricks —our Junior play—followed by a dance which greatly pleased our evening's audience. Our prom was the greatest success of the year, where the orchestra kept the tip toes busy until the wee hours of the .morning. We have many members participating in band and orchestra. They are Emma Buchholz, Ivan Berg, Eugene Arnold, Gordyn Crofoot, William Larson, Norma Nelson, Millard Kay, Carita Smith, Frances Watson and Bertha Berg. In athletics we are represented by three girls,—Irene Arnold, Nancy Rob- erts, and Carita Smith, who made the first team in girls' basketball—four boys, Millard Ray, William Larson, Ivan Berg, and George Robertson in boys' basket- ball, who, with the addition of Sigurd Dyrland, Soph us Peterson, and Oscar Ray took part in football also. Oscar Ray, Millard Ray, William Larson, Ivan Berg, George Robertson and Herbert Farley played an active part in track. After nosing out of the small end of the score, the Juniors defeated the Sophomores in the final game of the Inter-Class basketball tournament, win- ning the first place and being the only undefeated team. Two of our members, Irene Arnold and Emma Buchholz are officiating in the Home Ec. Club and Ivan Berg, William Larson, Millard Ray, and Eugene Arnold are holding office in the Future Farmers of America. Much interest in dramatics was shown by our class. In extemporaneous speaking, Ivan Berg placed first with Emma Buchholz following as second. As our representative in the oratorical contest, Ivan Berg again came forth. The debaters of our class proved to be Joe Blazek and Ivan Berg. Scholarship holds a high place in the Junior class, Emma Buchholz and Bertha Berg being members of the color guard since the time of its organiza- tion. Last, but not least, we wish to pay tribute to our faithful sponsor—Mr. Wilson, who has patiently led us over the rugged paths of our Junior term and to the summits of our coming Senior year.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On December 13, the ('lass of '31 presented “Gappy Kicks, a play built on Peter B. Kyne’s novel of the same name. The play shows Cappv’s irascible, kindly nature as lie quarrels with his general manager, Skinner, as he mixes with Matt in business deals; as lie does the best he can to secure the happiness of his only daughter, Florence. The one unforgivable sin in his eyes was to allow anyone to “cover him with blood and get away with it. The love stories of Matt and Florence and Cecil Pericles and his “Goldie Glake are highly entertaining.

We chronicle for you the events of the school year. We have the distinction of being the largest Freshmen (Mass in the history of the Big Sandy High School. Meetings and class parties have done their share in creating a co-operative attitude in the class. Y e have upheld scholarship as is shown by the Honor Roll of the past year. Viljo Xygard represented the class on the Color Guard, the highest honor that this school bestows and which is won by only five each term. In all things pertaining to athletics, we have contributed excellent material and are enthusiastic rooters and supporters of the school teams. The following men were outstanding in football and basketball: John Balazic, Fred Romig, Ralph Moe, and Bertrand Stack. Our class is outstanding in music activities. Viljo Xygard, Diane Mahood and Anne Xygard represented the class at various programs and functions. Many of the class belong both to the orchestra and the band. At the music contest held in Great Falls we entered Viljo in the clarinet solo and Diane in the piano and vocal solos. Do not count us boastful if we say that the public liked us in our carnival act. Virginia Barrett, Borghild Ritland and Elvera Arndt as lassies and Allan Barrett, Ben Oliver and Myron Hansen as laddies gave a fine interpretation of the Highland Fling, while Diane brought down the house with her solo dance. That same evening our joy was completed by electing as King and Queen two of our class, Diane and Jerrv. In return for the initiation we entertained the student body and faculty at a Valentine party. As a class we have endeavored faithfully to add to the name and dignity of the school. We may not have always succeeded but we have earnestly tried.

All new members were properly initiated into the mysteries of the club at a party in the Community Hall October 11. Officers are elected each semester, thus giving more girls an opportunity to hold office as no girl is eligible for the same office twice. Club meetings are held in the afternoon from 1 to 5 o’clock on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. This year the girls have begun an interesting pro- gram of art work, including gypsy glaze pictures, liquid embroidery and paint- ing on fabrics. Gypsy glaze painting is a revived art and one in which the painting is done directly on the glass with quick drying transparent paints, silver foil is placed over the printed side and the glass is placed in a frame or bound. Much interest and enthusiasm is shown among the members for this art work. A “rainbow” float represented the club in the community fair parade last fall. Special features and programs are planned and sponsored by the club. For their part in the annual carnival this year, various members of the club por- trayed the routine of a homemaker in “The Despairing Housewife.” An assembly program commemorating the birthdays of Lincoln and Wash- ington was arranged by the members. At the annual dance this year special dance numbers were given during the supper hour. Uniforms of black broad- cloth (princess style dresses with white collars and cuffs and rainbow ties were Die costumes for their members. The mothers were hostesses at a very enjoyable return banquet, program and social for the girls on February 21.

FUTURE FARMERS CLUB The Future Farmers Club replaces the Agricultural Club, which for many years has been one of the leading organizations in our school. It has as its pur- pose a more co-operative spirit among students of agriculture throughout the country. Meetings are held twice monthly in the Agricultural building. Timely topics of agricultural interest are discussed. Joint meetings with farmers are held for the purpose of solving problems common to each group. 1 he annual Fathers’ and Sons’ banquet held each winter and the Ag. Bawl held in April are some of the original activities of The club. 1930 Pag3 Thirty-three m CENTENNIAL The Big Sandy Booster, which is published by the high school students once each month is the outgrowth of a mimeographed “News Letter” first printed in 1924.

DEBATE Our High School joined the County Debate League, and our State Debate League. In the county series we debated Fort Benton, Geraldine, and Ilighwood —those were non-decision debates. In the state league we debated Fort Benton ; they defeated us so this ended our debate career for 1929-,30. 1930 Pag2 Thirty-five CENTENNIAL Paul Sonksen Ann MacMillan Ivan Berg EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING There were six participants in the annual extemporaneous contest: Millard Kay, Ivan Berg, Emma Buehliolz, Retta Armstrong, Hope Walters, and Eugene Arnold. Ivan Berg won the decision and represented us in the district contest at Havre. Three contestants entered the National Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Great Falls Tribune. Speeches on some phase of the Constitution by these contestants were made. Mr. Hagie of Fort Benton acted as judge. Those entered were: Ann MacMillan, Ivan Berg, and Paul Sonksen. Ann MacMillan repre- sented the school at Great Falls on April I. Page Thirty-six CENTENNIAL The Color Guard is an honor group of the five students in high school who have maintained the highest grades for a whole semester. They represent the highest scholastic achievement of the school for half a school year, and on cer- ium occasions have the unique distinction of wearing the regalia shown above, done in the Purple and Old Gold, our school colors. On holidays, special days and flag ceremonials they officiate at the raising and lowering oi the flag, and carry a silk flag before tiie assembled group of students.

It includes all extra-curricular organizations functioning in our high school. All students and teachers in high school are members, and all high school classes, as well as the several organized activities are represented. Its purpose is to give all students a voice in the management of all activities, to prevent one activity from absorbing too great a share of the time and resources of the school, to keep all resources of the several groups in one fund, and to keep the student body informed as to the different activities represented. The work of the association is accomplished through a Board of Control consisting of the elective officers of the association, the faculty members, and a manager from each class or activity.

The story is of Mrs. O’Brien and her daughters, Millicent and Winifred; how they received five thousand dollars from Mrs. O’Brien’s brother, Robert; how they spent it, and the consequent discovery of their extravagance. Rosalie, a neglect- ed niece, is charitable and predicts that “polished pebbles” may turn out to have real worth. They do.

BIG SANDY HIGH SCHOOL BAND I One of the outstanding organizations of the Big Sandy High School is the Band. This year the membership has grown to thirty-four including students from all classes. We shall lose through graduation, Walter Porter, solo mini pet; Luella Larson, tenor saxophone; Clarence O'Neil, Mary Benbow, A era Nel- son, clarinets; Glad vs MacDonald, mellophono. One of the best tests of the worth of an organization is the part it plays in the school and the community. Big Sandy High School Band has since last spring appeared in concert six times. We entered the district music meet at Great Falls, April 5, and were a close second in rank. Augmented by members of the Community Band the high school players took part in the Fourth of July celebration in Big Sandy; the American Legion convention in Havre early in July; played for the local fair; drove to Shelby to play for the county fair there; and took a chance on the weather to play at the county fair at Fort Benton. If one may judge the future by the past, the Big Sandy School Band will give real service to the school and the community. 1930 Page Forty-on?

Not only was the program bigger and better but the crowd was the largest ever witnessed in Big Sandy. After the program the Seniors put on a real carnival dance. Confetti, ser- pentine, balloons, and fancy caps added color and dust. Each class worked hard to elect their nominees for King and Queen.

Cnder the able coach- ing of Lulu Riddle and Assistant Coach Tony Moe, the girls displayed some ntce work in their hard and fast games against Harlem and Chinook. Four of our girls were inexperienced but proved to be good material and valuable to the team. Page Forty-five GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Nancy (Unanimous) Roberts, Right Guard Roberts played 20 quarters and won a letter. Nancy will be back with flying colors next year. She plays a wonderful guard position and “always catches her man.” Carit a (Crete) Smith, Center Smith: This year played in center position. “Crete caught scarlet fever and was out of the Box Elder game and she certainly was missed. She will be back next year and chances are she will gain fame and recognition again. Thelma (Sis) Moe, Right Forward Moe: Has been first choice for playing the forward berth this year. Her ability to score from all angles and her adaptability to play with Larson and Smith has won her a position as one of the most valuable players on 1930’s team. We will all miss her next season. Ruth (Billie) Svennungsen, Sub. Svennungsen : Playing during her last season of High School athletics, she has been an outstanding reserve for the “Good oP Purple and Gold nates too so we contribute her reluctantly to the alumni squad. She grad- Luella (Minimum) Larson, Left- Fonrurd Larson: The smallest man on the squad makes up for her size by her fight- ing! Purple and Gold spirit! She is a hard forward to guard and her scrappy ways give her an enviable position on the team. 1930rg graduating claims her too. Irene (Renee) Arnold, Center Guard Arnold: A forward of 1929 was again in the lineup for the Center Guard position this year. “Renee’s” ability to face an opponent with her eyes open made her invaluable to our team. “Renee” will be back next year and repeat her performances again, we are sure. Margaret (Bodet) Beaudett, Guard Eeaudett was a scrappy little guard and took plenty fast on the offense and quick planning on defense—which shows the result of her consciencious drilling. “Bodet” will be back next season as candidate for the same position. Mildred (Millie) Crofoot, Sul). Crofoot. who is playing her first of H. S. basketball is gaining speed and accuracy at the guard position which is certain to make her a star player the next season. Page Forty-six 1930 BASKETBALL 1930 Big Sandy had, during the current year, what one might call an in-and-out team. The squad began the year under a new coach and new system, which did not begin to function in good style until after two or three games. Many of the men were inexperienced due to the graduation of four members from the year before. Seventeen games were played during the season with Sandy coming out on top with eight. Captain Stack is the only man lost this year and prospects for a success- ful season in 1931 look exceedingly bright. Captain Stack (Harry), Guard Stack played a clean and consistent game in the guard position, and fre- quently grabbed the opportunity to ring in a basket from Center Floor. Stack's position will be a hard one to fill next year. Marty (Sleepy), Guard Marty is the kind of a player that can be depended upon to deliver the goods. He proved to be a fast and consistent player. He will be back next year to help make a winning team. Berg (Pug), Forward Berg proved an invaluable man on the basketball court. His floor work and basket shooting was good, and his speed makes him a hard man to guard. Berg- will be back next year. Moe (Anthony Julius), Forward Tony was both speedy and clever on the floor. His fast work in passing and his skill at hitting the hoop marked him as a dangerous man. He will be with us next year. Romig (Beer), Forward Fred doesn’t let the guards work on him even if he isn't so high and mighty. He makes up for his small stature by his agility. Fred will give our opponents something to think about for another year. Robertson (Squirty), Center George alternated from Center to Forward this year and gave a good ac- count of himself at either position. George will be with us for another year. M. Ray (Gappy), Guard Millard didn’t play regular, but he showed some real fighting spirit when given an opportunity. He has yet another year. John Balazic (Lucky), Forward With a little more experience, John will work into a real offensive player. He showed unusual ability this year and has three more years to play. William Larson (Bill), Guard Bill was a hard worker and did some hard fighting as guard. He was fast on the floor and had a good eye for the basket. He has one more year also.

It incurred debts at first because all the ammunition fired that year had to be bought by the club until the government issue arrived. The club now has two new Springfield Rifles, and ammunition furnished by the government sufficient to supply the club through the season. In November a 50-foot indoor gallery was built in the Community Hall, and about, a dozen members worked faithfully through the winter and some of them made steady progress. The best shot is Oscar Miltz, well on the firing course to “Expert Rifleman. Page Forty-nine FOOTBALL 1929 The 11)20 season was one of the most successful years of Football in this school's history. Prospects of a real team looked dim when school began. Only two men reported, who were veterans, for the backfield and three for the line. Captain-elect Stack and Marty, of last year’s team, playing in the backfield, and Oscar Ilav, Millard Kay and Callison for the line. Romig, Larson, and Berg filled out the backfield and Bertrand Stack, T. Moe, Paul Williford, Blockhus, and other new men helped fill out the line. Starting with a win over Shelby of 7-0, they repeated the feat the following week on Saturday at Geraldine, 8-0. Following this the team played at Chinook and came out on the short end of the 18-6 score. A week later the Purple and Gold beat Belt's eleven on the local grounds with a 12-6 score. The next game was with Conrad and our team lost by one point in the score of 13-12. The next game, at Great Falls, was easily won by the local team at a score of 6-0. The last two games of the season were played against Fort Benton and the Purple and Gold showed their fighting spirit and were the victors of both games, the first by a score of 18-6 and the last with a 6-0 score. 1930 Page Fifty ! CENTENNIAL m FOOTBAL (Continued) L BIG SANDY 7—SHELBY 0 Big Sandy traveled to Shelby and won the first game of the season. The game started with Big Sandy receiving the ball from the kickoff. After three unsuccessful attempts to score the local squad punted thus giving Shelby possession of the ball. Shelby failed to make any yardage so they also punted, kicking the ball into the Sandy territory. This sort of play con- tinued for three quarters. In the fourth quarter the local team got within ten yards of the goal but fumbled the ball with Shelby recovering. Shelby punted but the ball hit one of the players and fell back of our goal and “Doc” Ray, playing right tackle fell on the ball thus making the score six to nothing. Marty made a successful dropkick and made the score seven to nothing. Big Sandy again kicked off and the game ended without Shelby scoring. BIG SANDY 8—GERALDINE 0 These two teams were very evenly matched even though we did come out on top. Bill Larson made the only touchdown of'the game early in the second period. The other two points came from a safety when Geraldine failed to get a punt away. Tsearly all the play was in Geraldine territory and Geraldine came very close to scoring when one of their halves intercepted a pass, but Marty soon stopped that. The outstanding players of this game were Captain Stack, Marty, Bill Larson, M. Ray, and Call:son. CHINOOK BEATS BIG SANDY The Big Sandy boys lost 18 to 6 to the strong Chinook team on October 4. The Chinook team with its heavier and more experienced men was able to outsmart the local boys enough during the game to tally up three touchdowns. Soon after the game started, Chinook s quarter- back received one of Marty’s punts on his own 40-yard line and ran the sixty yards for a touchdown. The first half ended 6-0 in favor of Chinook. Two long passes in the second halt 1930 Page Fifty-one FOOTBALL (Continued) netted two more touchdowns for Chinook. The Big Sandy score came near the end of the game when Marty intercepted a pass on the 20-yard line and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. Stack failed to make the extra point. The boys came out of this game in pretty good condition. BIG SANDY 13—BELT G The Big Sandy team had at last found some scoring players and their game with the eleven from Belt proved that they were serious contenders for the Little Conference Cham- pionship. The Belt gridsters found rough going when they met the Purple and Gold typhoon. Every man seemed on his toes and all playing together for the one cause. A touchdown was made, the first quarter by straight football and the feature of the game was the line smashing by Bill Larson. In the second period Belt evened the score and immediately after Stack circled left end for forty yards and a touchdown. Marty failed to con- vert for the extra point. Belt seemed to gain the advantage in the second half although the score remained the same. Once Belt was on Sandy’s one-foot mark but failed to cross. BIG SANDY 12—CONRAD 13 Conrad was played at Big Sandy the week-end and Conrad so far hadn’t met defeat. What looked like a certain win turned out a loss in the last minute of play when Conrad high school team defeated our boys 13-12. The Purple and Gold led 12-6 until within thirty seconds t f the gun. The first half ended 6-6 with Sandy far in the lead with yardage. At the beginning of the second period, Sandy went in with the old fight and carried the ball dowm the field with line smashes until within thirty yards of the goal. Captain Stack carried the ball over making the score 12-6 for Big Sandy. In the last period Sandy easily had the upper hand until within IPPIflWP 193 0 Page Fifty-two CENTENNIAL FOOTBALL (Continued) three minutes of the finish when a costly fumble gave Conrad a start that netted the win- ning points. Every man on the squad played wonderful football, especially Kay, Larson, and Captain Stack. BIG SANDY 6—GREAT FALLS 0 The Purple and Gold journeyed to Great Falls for the next encounter on November 6th. The game was played on a snow covered field which handicapped our backfield. A 25-yard run by Captain Stack late in the second period enabled Sandy to defeat Great Falls 6-0. Great Falls was unable to do anything against our strong line and Marty's toe kept the Purple and Gold out of danger. If the game had been played on a dry field the outcome might well have been much more in our favor. Marty, Callison, Larson, Ray, and Captain Stack all played fine ball. BENTON DEFEATED 20-12 SCORE The game started when Benton kicked off over the goal line and it was Big Sandy's ball on the twenty-yard line. Romig advanced the ball to the forty-yard line, where the locals lost it after a fumble. Benton was in charge of the ball but a short time and failed to make the necessary yardage. The local boys took the ball on their 32-yard line and with short plunges carried it to Benton's 32-yard marker, where thy were stopped by the heavy line. The river boys made several attempts by the aerial route along with a couple of end runs, but the passing failed and the quarter ended with the ball in B. S.'s possession and in midfield. Romig intercepted a pass and started B. S.'s march down the field for its first score. One pass netted ten yards and Benton line failed to hold when. Hill Larson carried the ball for five yards and a goal. Sandy then marched for another touchdown and then Benton re- ceived and got away for a forty-yard run which helped them in making a touchdown. Following the touchdown, Benton received the ball and on its first play, Tony intercepted a pass. Moe was bewildered which way to run, after deciding he placed the ball on the thirty- 1930 Page Fifty-three FOOTBALL (Continued) five-yard line. Big Sandy marched down to the eleven-yard line, where they were penalized for holding but on the next play advanced to the fifteen-yard line, from where the ball went over and the extra point made. The tally now read 20-6. The boys from the Fort never stopped fighting and after receiving the ball on their thirty-eight-yard line took it past mid-field with a pass and then completed a long wobbly heave which netted 40 yards. They then bucked the ball over but failed to make the extra point. Big Sandy received and had made 15 yards when the game ended 20-12. FORT BENTON 0—BIG SANDY After being out played in at least three of the four quarters of the game Big Sandy foot- ball team came through with a 6-0 victory. The heavier team of the Chouteau County High School seemed to be a rejuvenated organization following its defeat here Monday, while the boys from the Bear Paws seemed to have taken a slump from the topnotcli from what they had shown during the season. Although slashing through for big gains the Benton backs seemed to lack the final drive to put the ball across the goal line. The Big Sandy boys showed impregnable defence when the opponents had them backed up to their goal line. The whole game was a game of punt- ing and line smashing until the last quarter when it became a game of frenzied passing in an effort to score. Benton tried a long pass which had just left the passer’s hand when the gun sounded. The pass was intercepted by Ivan Berg who had an open field except for one man and Millard Bay threw a block into him leaving Ivan open for a touchdown. Thus ending our season with a victory.

THE RALLY October 18 A strong portrayal of school spirit was in evidence when the student body turned out one hundred fifty strong to cheer the football team on to victory in the Belt game. Amid school yells and songs the long column of youths, with gay hearts and optimistic hopes, wove its way down Main street in snake-like fashion. Business came to a halt as the merry group entered the various business establishments, gave a few yells and displayed that indomitable spirit and enthusiasm always characteristic of Big Sandy students in all their contests. Many spectators followed the throng as it serpentined to the big bonfire opposite the station. As the light of the big fire lit up their faces, cheers, speeches by members of the team, and a talk on school morale by Coach Wilson kindled within everyone present a feeling of school spirit—with determination to win.
