Its pages reflect the experiences largely responsible for the resulting structure of our moral and ethical values. Its high purpose is to raise these ideals yet higher, and to help fix the habits of right conduct. T A Bruner 193 1 2V=0 Page 5 THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ]cr=o ]□[ ]□[ FACULTY Irma E.

TIGER HOUSE On May 9, the Seniors presented “Tiger House,” a comedy-mystery play. Thunder and lightning! Moans and groans! Tiger claws and a crystal gazer! How we all did thrill and shiver! After the work had been started, Joseph found he could not manage to take the part and resigned in favor of Ivan Berg. Much of the success of the play is due to the good work of Albert Beck, who managed the electrical effects of the performance. Thank you, A1! Erma Lowrie inherited the property of a rich aunt who died a horrible death, the mystery of which the police never solved. According to the terms of the will she had to live in the house. Mysterious happenings disturbed Erma and her Aunt Sophia until the former sent for a friend, known in the house hold as Macintosh, to help her. Her cousins, Arthur and Oswald, come to visit her on the evening that “IT” comes to get back the jewels stolen long ago by the deceased Aunt Sylvia. The plucky Mac watches and waits until lie dis- covers that one of the cousins, Arthur, is the villain of the piece and that Yarni is only after the necklace because it has for him a religious significance. Of course, all’s well that ends well, and Erma and Mac “live happily ever after.” =] 1 3311 C 3 Page 17 0=3 THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ]C=0 CLASS PROPHECY The day was still; there were no birds singing; there was not a cloud on the horizon, but the sun poured down in blistering rays upon the parched land. A cool breeze could not be found anywhere. Amidst this almost unbearable heat, out on the vast prairie, sat a cowpuncher in the shade of his horse, herd- ing a large band of cattle. They did not seem to have much more ambition than the young lad, Gordyn Crofoot, watching over them. Gordyn’s mind was in- clined to wander and as he sat there he began to recall the memories of the class of 31. His greatest desire just then would have been to hear from each one of his classmates to learn how he was faring after he got out into the business world. Where was Gladys Bilile, Joe Blazek, Sig Dyrland? Were they all as successful as his own sister? A loud noise aroused him from his revery. He gazed around; far off to the east was an airplane coming in his direction. Some power beyond his control made him get up and wave Ids arms and hat in a frantic manner. The two occupants noticed his actions and soon brought their plane to a standstill. They jumped from the plane in a manner which showed that they had performed that little trick many times in the past. Gordyn then recovered himself and with a wild cowboy whoop, leaped into the air and ran to greet his old friends, Eugene Arnold and George Robertson. He came to an abrupt stop. “Why you high-toned air fiends, don’t you even remember an old classmate?” This was enough; they recognized the voice that always had so much to say in English lYf class. Thru the sheer joy of seeing each other, the first few moments all spoke at once. At last Eugene put in enough words to state that their purpose was to learn of the whereabouts of the members of the class of ’31. This would add one more to their list, but they still had two to locate. “Well, do you know where William Larson is?” It was Gordyn’s question. “No, but that mischievous look in your eye tells us that you know,” re- plied Eugene. “Yes, you bet I do and I’ll bet he has a surprise for you. He lives down near Highwood and owns one of the largest and best managed farms in Mon- tana. I always think that it’s due to that course in Farm Management that he took from Mr. Hoskinson.” Squirty then voiced his bright idea, “Let’s jump into our plane and go down there. Come on, Gordyn !” With this they were off. In only a short time Crofoot pointed out Bill’s farm. All of his fields were simply blooming. Eugene, who was piloting the ship, made a beautiful landing near a work shop where the “man of the house” was busily employed making a little wagon. The three boys then appeared to the scene. Eugene remarked, “Well Bill, that looks rather suspicious.” Bill neglected this statement and greeted the boys and welcomed them to his home. They started toward the house where they heard a voice call, “Hurry up boys! I want to have a hand-shake with some of my old friends.” “Oh, I’ll bet this is William’s surprise.” There was Lillian King and Billy, Jr., coming out to meet them. Page 18 1 931 [3=0 0=3L :nc inz □ THE CENTENNIAL C=C “Yes, I think so. Don’t yon think I have a darling little family?” It was Bill’s voice and you could just hear his joy. By this time they were all inside sitting in a nicely furnished parlor. “Eugene, didn't you say that you were out interviewing our old Senior Class?” This showed Gordvn's interest. “You bet your life, I am. They're still the same old class too. I wish we could have one of those old class meetings again even if they were rather noisy. I could even take a bawling out from Ivan. Looking back, I think he made a pretty good president.” “If you know anything about the class, you'd better let us hear it. First of all I want to know where Nancy is and what she's doing,” said Lillian. Squirty was ready for action. “Wait until I get my little notebook out and I'll tell you all 1 know. Nancy’s away down in the State University of New Mexico where she's coaching basketball. She's known the stale over because she has such a wonderful personality and has such a knack of getting along with everyone.” “Three cheers for Nancy. She always did put her whole soul into basketball or athletics.” It was only natural for Bill to ask for his old friend Millard. “Here he is. He is the owner and operator of the Bay () Grande Tractor Company in southern Minnesota. He's making a fortune.” Gordyn was the same old self and remarked, “Yes, just what I expected. Don’t you remember how brilliant he was in Physics. Those high grades of his made it hard for the rest of us. Where is Florence now? The last I heard from her, she was in Florida.” “This notebook contains so much, I guess I'll have to index it. She’s a full-fledged school teacher now and is teaching the negroes down in Louisiana. She has proved very successful.” “Didn't any of our class turn out to be musicians or singers?'’ asked Bill, who always loved music. “Wait a minute and I'll name them all. Ketta Armstrong is playing the piano in the big opera in Paris. She still plays her oboe too and makes a big sum of money. She tells us she is going to remain single but that is hardly be- lievable for she had photos of many attractive young men on her piano. We’ll just wait and see. “Frances Watson and Irene Arnold are touring the world over broadcast- ing their singing ability. Many a young man's heart they ve broken by their short stops. They made a good sized ‘roll’ every evening and say that they owe a great deal to their former teacher, Mr. Henning. “We can list Gladys Bilile with our musicians too, although her name is no longer Bilile. She is now Mrs. Rev. Joe Blazek. They are in India where Joe is a prominent minister and Gladys is in charge of a large singing school. “Emma still carries music as an avocation. She takes her clarinet with her wherever she goes and also that alto voice of hers. Her chief line of work, though, is stenography. She is Millard’s private stenographer and bookkeeper. He says he will never give her up even if lie has to marry her to keep her. She’ll never have to be an ‘Old Maid.’ 0=3 193 1 c Page 19 0=3 THE CENTENNIAL DC □ □C □ □C □ □C 10=0 “I suppose you’re beginning to wonder about Ivan Berg. We ran across him accidentally in stopping at an airplane filling station up at what used to be known as Box Elder. The first we heard was the Tooting’ of a sousaphone. In a few minutes Ivan made his appearance. Box Elder has greatly increased in size and he owns about half of it. The name has been changed to ‘Berglund.’ He was married recently and is making use of what he learned in B. S. H. S. as he is director of a dance band which puts on dances every Saturday night at Hay Center Inn. “The last of our musicians is with us now. We’ll let him say for himself. Come on Gene.” “Well, after I got out of school I took up aviation but I still did not forget how to sing. That’s how they knew me back at school. I could sing over the whir of my machine.” “Sing us a song now,” said William. “All right. I’ll sing you that song that I used to sing when I was a Senior.” Soon the air was filled with the melody “'Go Home and Tell Your Mother.” Bursting into a fit of laughter, Eugene spoke up saying, “Oh, tell them about I)oc Ray and Carjta Smith.” “Surely, I will,” said Squirty. “Doc Ray married Carita Smith but owing to the excess knowledge that she received in her course in Physics, she turned out to be an inventor and invented a special type of rolling pin that is extra hard on the hen-pecked husband. Doc could not stand this so he sued her for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty and married Margaret Johnson, who is of a quieter type. They now own a large store in Fargo, North Dakota. Carita is thinking some of joining Irene and Frances in their tours.” Lillian, who always seemed to have the ability to think forward, an- nounced, “Out of a class of thirty members there surely must have been an actor or an actress.” “Yes, there is,” answered Gene. “As soon as Clarissa Phillips and Paul Sonksen graduated they went directly to Hollywood where they became famous on the movie screen. They are soon to play the leading parts in the picture Tt Doesn’t Pay to Argue.’ ” “Well, you could knock me over with a feather. Whoever thought that Paul would go on the stage? What do you say, Squirty?” “‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’ Next we’ll hear what happened to the Cooke sisters. We all knew that Annie was to be married to Ivan Clark when school was out but that was all. Now she is a well-known style designer in France. The clothes which you women wear today are modeled by her hands. Dorothy has played faithful by her name and became a great ‘cook.’ She is now in Houston, Texas, teaching Home Economics.” “That cannot be all of the class yet, can it?” asked Gordyn. “Oh, no, there are several left yet. Here is Esther Haakensen and Juanita Hultin. They are managing a beauty parlor back east and are not left in peace one minute of the day for there is a continual line of women there to have their beauty renewed and they are even expected to make beautiful the unbeautiful. Oh, that makes me think of that essay we studied in English. ‘The Enjovment of Unpleasant Places.’ ” (Continued on Page 63) Page 20 : 193 1 0=0 0=T]C ]QC 3DC ]□[ ]□ THE CENTENNIAL 1=0 s=r3 1931 I 1C II —ii ][=0 Page 21 0=3 THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ]□[ ic=o jd: SENIOR SONGS Author 1.

The only way this can be reached is by a Key, called Experience. For- ever, man will be struggling for the key to this mighty chest. Twas in the year of ’27 that I, together with forty more shipmates, em- barked on the good ship U. S. S. Big Sandy for a four year cruise on the Sea of Life. Oh, we were highly elated and hopeful that we would be among those to find the highly prized chest. Many experiences we had, good and bad, and I will relate them to vou. On our first year aboard the ship, we were placed in a stateroom under Third Mate Henning and Rear Admiral M. P. Moe. Here we learned that we were classed as Phebes. Through bitter experiences, trials and hardships, we learned, did I and my shipmates, that we were nothing more than lowly serv- ants of those above us. We were all given tickets and assigned to our work. Day in and day on! we trudged through our tasks. My comrades wandered around the decks of the great ship as though in a daze, swabbing decks, cleaning the galley, then swabbing more decks. Should we have jumped overboard and ended it all? Xo! For was not this but a path to the chest of Knowledge? Among the officers, a certain one. First Mate Harriet, would sit amidships, drawn cutlass in hand, sometimes even clanging it on the rails, and would, in mixed syllables of rage, tell us how very bright we were! Working under this officer, we became accustomed to hearing, “Get out and stay out!” We could turn our heads and see one of our shipmates walking dejectedly to the galley as if it were all a terrible dream. During this year on the ship, many of my comrades became discouraged, went slowly up to see His Highness, Rear Admiral M. P. Moe, and, on return- ing, either jumped overboard or were swung by the yardarm and dropped into the Sea of Life, either to be picked up by another ship or to float around for the rest of their lives, wishing that they had found the Chest of Knowledge. A few of us were lucky. We never incurred the wrath of First Mate Har- riet or the anger of Rear Admiral Moe, nor did we ever cross the path of Third Mate Henning. We were lucky! ’Twas about this time when we learned that we were to be put under Ship’s Trainer Metzger for so many hours each day for training, for, sayeth he, “How can you carry the Chest of Knowledge, when you find it, if you have no bulging muscles to work for you?” Trainer Metzger was a good sort and selected a few of my shipmates to work under Captain Hansen and Captain Stack. Know ye, now there are four classes of the crew aboard this good ship. They are: Phebes, the ignored, the ignorant; Yearlings, the mirthful, the gig- gling; the Third-year men, these being of the jovial turn of mind, with much spirit; and lastly, the Fourth year men. When thou art a Fourth-year man, thou art Cock O’ the Walk, King of the Seven Seas, and Emperor of all the c=3 193 1 I--II- —=11 li .... JI--=31 3C ----- Page 23 0=a THE CENTENNIAL □[ jDC !□[ =0 World. They have privileges, they are not laughed at as are the Thebes of our crew, or scoffed at, as were the members of the Yearling crew. Niue weary months had passed. As some of us were walking along the deck early one morning, we saw a crowd of our Thebian brethren leaping joy- ously into the air, weeping with joy and rolling on the deck in glee. On in- quiring we found that three months of shore leave were to be given us. Imagine our joy at this news! These three months passed very swiftly, for soon we were back again on the decks of our cruiser. We were amazed to see that some of our poor ship- mates had absconded while on leave and still others were compelled to stay in the Phebian crew for another year. This year, being Yearlings, we were placed under Second Mate Kiddie, a small personage who was inclined to jolly us along—sometimes making it easier for us—once in a while. Hear Admiral Bruner was with us this year and we were placed in the galley on this trip. On our way across the sea we ran across other boats, one among them be- ing a four-masted schooner, the U. 8. 8. Fort Benton. They singled us out as prey and attacked us on our own territory. To our joy we defeated them. This ship was destined to be our traditional enemy. Now, as it comes to my dazed and bewildered mind, I remember that every year there is a traditional battle between the third-year and fourth-year crews of our ship—and what a battle. We Yearlings and even the Pliebes were al- lowed to dot the ship from main mast to stern-post and encourage the older men. Again came that which we looked forward to for a whole year—shore leave! This is the heaven of all the crew of the ship, be they deck hands or officers. Having come back to the ship, and our passports having been received in good order, we entered again into the life aboard ship. We found, much to our dismay, that Trainer Metzger had deserted and Trainer Wilson was sighted to take his place. This being our third year, we were placed under the care of Trainer Wilson. Now, as accords a custom, it was our duty, as the established duty of those classed as third-year men, to strive for enough money with which to en- tertain our superiors. We worked and slaved, and Boatswain Brown, a worthy officer, did all possible to help us put on a huge magnificent show. By the proceeds from said spectacle, we gained enough to entertain those solemn Seniors with. We had among the numbers of Ihe third-year men crew, our leader, Mid- shipman Berg, Midshipman Buchholz and Royal Bouncer Larson. Under the remarkable guidance of these young directors, we gained great heights. Recently, this year, our ship, the glorious battleship Big 8andy, has met and defeated our old enemy, the U. 8. 8. Fort Benton. We also emerged vic- torious from other battles, including those with the U. 8. 8. Conrad, the U. 8. 8. Shelby, and the light Cruiser Box Elder. After three months shore leave we came back for what we hoped would be our last journey. We were fourth-year men, and allowed privileges, there- continued on Page 64) ni----ir Page 24 ]C ][ 193 1 CT=0 IUI ]□ THE CENTENNIAL 0 31 =□□[ IDL THE JUNIOR CLASS Colors - Flower Motto John Haburchak Lloyd Marty Elsie Romig • Anna Beck - Mrs. Mahrt - OFFICERS - Old Rose and Silver - Sun Flower For us to is to J - President Vice-President - Secretary-Treasurer Reporter •- Sponsor CLASS ROLL Margaret Beaudett Anna Beck Evelyn Bley Dean Blockhus George Butler Mildred Crofoot Vivian Crofoot Elizabeth Delp Robert Drew John Haburchak Mary Ellen Hill Floyd Jenson Mike Komodowski Marie Kulbeck Charles Kulbeck Morton Larson Lloyd Marty Oscar Miltz Tony Moe Margaret Nelson Marvin Osterman Alice Panchot Bessie Plenninger James Roberts Elsie Romig Margaret Sheehy Henry Silha Velaura Stueck Paul Williford McClure Young 193 1 i n ii n . ji i1 -i I ._jC =o Page 25 C=] THE CENTENNIAL □[ 3 DC 3DC 3QC ]E=0 THE JUNIOR DIARY Freshman Year—September J , 1928-May 25, 1929. We, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two, arrived at the institution of learning in our new school outfits of bright green. We chose Mrs. Deutsch- man to help guide us through our first year of high school. At the annual car- nival we showed our ability as actors and actresses in a pantomime “Locliin- var” and later in the same evening succeeded in taking in more money than any other class. We also sent a goodly number out for athletics and music. Sophomore Year—September 2,1929-May 22. 1920. We shed our green garments for those of a more dignified hue and after electing our officers and sponsor, Mr. Brawner, settled down to the task of second year men. Both the upper classes looked at us with deep respect when we won the interclass tournament. Soon after Margaret Slieehy won the de- clamatory contest and represented us in Missoula. In scholarship we fared very well, being represented on the color guard by Oscar Miltz and Retta Arm- strong. Junior Year—September 2. 1920-May 22. 1931 With high spirits we started on the third year of our high school year. Mrs. Mahrt was elected sponsor. This was a big year for us in athletics. Six of our men made letters: Lloyd Marty, Tony Moe, Morton Larson, Dean Blockhus, Raul Williford and Bob Drew. Our girls also played basketball, two of the members, Anna Beck and Margaret Beaudett, making their letters. Our boys’ team won the two interclass tournaments. The Junior play, “Lucky Break ’ was a success and netted us quite a sum, which we used for the Junior Prom. In the District Music Meet we were well represented, Marvin Osterman win- ning third place in the trombone solo. On the Color Guard we have Margaret Slieehy and Oscar Miltz. The annual Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was put on in the usual efficient manner as shown by the juniors throughout their career. M. E. H. and A. M. B.

Owing to sickness, Margaret Beaudett was unable to take her part. Alice Panehot took Margaret's place nicely, though she had but a short time to work into the cast. The story of the play is briefly as follows: The proprietor and guests of Hotel Mullet are much excited over the ex- pected return of one of the native sons of Matasquam. He proves to be all they had expected, though he is somewhat annoyed or dismayed at the number of favors expected of him. Circumstances make it possible for him to pretend he is financially embarrassed. Then all the people who had wished him to help them come to his aid, even if it is with nothing more than a letter to an influen- tial relative. Mr. Bruce successfully launches his project of a pottery factory in this town, in spite of the machinations of the local financier, Abner Ket- ch am. Benny Ketcham gets a chance to expand and Tommy his opportunity to decorate a wing at the state university. Incidentally Tommy wins Claudia in spite of her mother, and John Bruce is rewarded with the love of Nora Mul- let, who would much rather be the wife of a “poor man” than have a career. ][ 3C ][ Page 27 C=2 THE CENTENNIAL DC anc ]□[ 1C=0 IDE SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1921), our class entered and was initiated into high school with the distinction of being the largest Freshman class in the history of the Big Sandy High School. We were well represented in scholarship with Viljo ygard on the Color Guard. Our share was contributed to athletics and music and we also entertained the high school with a very successful Valentine party. Our candidate, Diane Mahood, was elected Carnival Queen. This year we have still continued our advantageous career. Our scholar- ship has been more highly upheld as we now have three members on the Color Guard, namely: Viljo Nygard, Anne Nygard and Dorothy Buchholz. The third place in the inter-class basketball tournament was won by the Sophomores. Those who were outstanding in football and basketball were: John Balazic, Maurice Flatness, Ralph Moe, Fred Roinig and Bertrand Stack. Many of the class contributed to the music department by belonging to Ihe band, the orchestra, and the chorus. Our musical ability helped us to enter- tain the public with the high school carnival, “Navy Blues,” which was mainly musical this year. We were represented in the music meet by the soloists Diane Mahood, iljo Nygard and Eunice Panchot, and had many in the band and orchestra. In the State Music Meet Viljo, accompanied by Diane, won first, and Eunice carried off third. As a class we have attempted to make our school a better one by our un- failing cooperation and enthusiasm. Much of our success is due to the efforts of our untiring advisor, Mr. Hoskinson. ------il iirrr_ ni ii ii— i i93i Page 28 0=21 !□ THE CENTENNIAL D=0 SOPHOMORES CLASS OFFICERS Jerry Ophus - Lloyd Marty Eunice Panchot Virginia Barrett Mr. Hoskinson Class Colors Class Flower - - President Vice-President - Secretary-Treasurer Class Reporter Adviser Blue and White Iris Balazic, Frank Balazic, John Barrett, Allen Barrett, Virginia Blockhus, Louis Buchholz, Dorothy Butler, Merrill Clark, Mildred Collins, Verla Delf, Ernestine Dyrland, Minnie Farley, Carmen CLASS ROLL Flatness, Maurice Hansen, Myron Jenkins, Harold Jurenka, Mildred Komodowski, Joe Larson, Lloyd Lehfeldt, Mildred Mahood, Diane Moe, Ralph Nygard, Aune Nygard, Viljo Oliver, Ben Ophus, Jerry Panchot, Eunice Panchot, Verna Pearson, Virginia Peterson, Alfred Robertson, Fern Romig, Fred Stack, Bertrand Trepina, Agnes Turner, Gladys Wallace, Ruby i i ][ ][ Page 29 0=2 THE CENTENNIAL DC 3nr ini— inr ]C=0 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY In the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one, we take our pen in our hand to give you a little ‘‘inside dope’7 on the illustrious Freshman class. May we be forgiven for the errors in English, spelling and facts. Con- sider them as Freshmen jokes. Our pet grievance: We’ve had eight years of bitter experience and yet they call us Freshmen. We started on the “Whoopee Trail” with the initiation at the Community Hall. That was one time when another Abraham Lincoln was needed to free us from slavery. Relieving in returning kindness for evil, we gave the high school a return party. The evening was spent in dancing and card playing, not to mention the eats. They assured us they enjoyed every moment of the party so we overlooked the initiation. The Freshman class contributed to all activities within its power. In ath- letics we had Francis Wrillis and Harry and Allan Panchot. The last two named were awarded letters in football. Keith Edwards upholds the record lor scholarship and gives the rest of us a chance to hear him use big words. Melvin Tingley holds the gum chewing championship with Phillip Svennung- sen a close second. Glenn Crofoot, our “hard-boiled guy” ordered a voice six and eight-sevenths times too large for his size. Agnes Iletzel will argue with anyone on any topic and at any time. Call 1191)0327. Emery Miltz specializes in algebra and hopes to explain the high cost of living with his algebraic equa- tions. Selma Hultin is the vamp of the class. Many other celebrities are to be found in the class but space being limited, we will wait until next year to record their deeds and misdeeds. Also our course in journalism will have been completed by that time.

To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupation. 2. To create and nurture a love of country life. 3. To encourage recreational and educational activities for students of vo- cational agriculture. 4. To promote thrift. 5. To encourage cooperative effort among students of vocational education. 6. To strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. 7. To promote scholarship among students of vocational agriculture. 8. To develop rural leadership. 9. To promote vocational education in agriculture in the schools of Big Sandy. 10. To forward the policies of the high school, of which we are members, to the fullest extent. The Big Sandy Chapter has attempted to carry out these commandments to the best of their ability in the past year. As their contribution to the activi- ties of the school, a special act, “Safety Razors First,” was put on at the High School Carnival. Later in the season the Ag Bawl was presented successfully to the school and community. - President Vice-President - Secretary Treasurer - Watch Dog.

Of the 34 schools of this district, nine were represented by delegations ranging from one to some over fifty. The community hall and the high school building were in continuous use for the different events with excellent attendance by the people of the com- munity. Lutheran Ladies Aid served a chicken dinner at noon and in the evening a banquet was held in the McAnalley Hall for the supervisors, superintendents, judges and others interested. At this meeting the supervisors were high in their praise of the fine way in which the meet had been handled by our superin tendent and the warm hospitality shown them by the community. The point awards were announced in the evening by the two judges, Prof. De Loss Smith of Missoula and Mr. Sam Trelor of Butte. The results of the meet were in doubt until the final decision, that of the band which gave Big Sandy first place with a total of 80 points, with Browning following a close second with 82 points, Valier next with 56 points, Power 6 points, Shelby 5 points, Choteau 1 point, Havre 5 points, Ilighwood 0 points, Fort Shaw 1 point. We placed first in the following events: Trombone Solo, Baritone Solo, Clarinet Solo, Cello Solo, Band and Orchestra. STATE MUSIC MEET After winning the District Meet we began to have hopes of sending a dele- gation of our winners to the State Meet at Hillings, Montana, April 23-25. The hat was passed and the town combed for cars with the result that at 0 o’clock Wednesday morning 11 cars and a truck loaded with instruments and l edding left town. We ferried the river at Lohse’s crossing and had our luncheon at Lewistown. The last car arrived at Hillings at about 8 o’clock. Thirty of the girls were given lodging in the Hillings homes while the boys were mostly gathered at the tourist cabins. We held one rehearsal before com- peting and we will all remember tbe echoes of the High School Gymnasium. Saturday morning the All State Class H Hand rehearsed under the direction of our own director, Mr. Henning, and at 11 o’clock we joined the street parade 0=3'-----'I li il H II II II —I 1931 c=o Page 38 0=31 ]□[ ]□ THE CENTENNIAL with each of the seven competing bands and their boosters “strutting their stuff.” A clipping from the Billings Gazette characterizes the evening program as follows: “A three-dav program of music, participated in by some TOO high school pupils representing some 30 Montana communities, came to a fitting close Saturday evening at the Midland Empire Fairgrounds Auditorium with the massing of the several orchestras into an all-state orchestral unit; the seven bands into two all-state band units and the mixed choral groups into an all- state mixed chorus. An audience estimated at 2,500, intent on hearing the massed groups, and the contestants, eager to learn the judges’ decisions, soon filled the available seats on the main floor of the auditorium and the overflow found their way to the balcony. At 8 o'clock J. A. Woodward of Bozeman announced the first number of the evening. To Oren A. Henning of Big Sandy was allotted the enjoyable task of conducting the 117 players of the all-state band, class B, in the “Festival Overture” by Taylor and “A Fox Hunt by Mc- Kinley. The band, under the able baton of Mr. Henning, drew a tremendous round of applause. The audience was only silenced with the announcement of the second number on the program.” Out of six entries, Big Sandy received first place in band, orchestra and clarinet solo and third place in trombone solo and ’cello solo. The trip home was somewhat marred by a collision and several break- downs. However, all arrived safe and sound. The first car arrived Sunday aft ernoon and the last one Tuesday afternoon. Many carloads of Big Sandy people drove to the ferry to escort the winners home. We wish to take this opportunity to thank those who took their cars on this long trip as well as those who backed us financially, and the people who so willingly furnished entertainment for the visitors during the District Meet. 0=3 1931 I---------n--- II------It Ji—z=3i ----------- c=o Page 39 0=a THE CENTENNIAL □[ !DC ]|= BIG SANDY HIGH SCHOOL BAND Oren A.

At the first call about thirty young fellows appeared on the field in football togs, willing to show what they could do. Much of the squad was green but anxious to learn. The team had to be whipped into shape for the first practice game with Havre on September lb. Seven men of this year’s squad are Seniors: Cooper, Millard Ray, Oscar Rav, William Larson, Sig Dyrland, Joe Blazek and Sophus Peterson. These men will lie missed next fall and it will be a hard job to fill their positions. Bill Larson was the mainstay in the backfield while Dyrland, M. Ray, O. Ray and Blazek were all regulars in the line. Eight games were played this season. Of these games, four and lost four. Big Sandy won The first game was at Lewis!own against the Fergus Golden Eagles. After zic ]C ][ ][ ][ Page 43 0=3 THE CENTENNIAL DC 3DC ]□[ 31=0 3DC a scoreless first half the weight on the Fergus team began to show and they won 18 to 0. The second game was with Conrad at Conrad. After bucking snow and mud for seven hours on the road, our team finally reached Conrad and cleaned them to the tune of 6 to 0. The next game against the Great Falls reserves was played at Big Sandy. Our boys outclassed the Falls team and won 41 to 0. Chinook next came to Big Sandy and with their heavier team won 19 to 0. Shelby, with a string of victories, came to Big Sandy with high hopes. That happened to be Sandy’s “on day and Shelby went home with a 32 to 0 beating. Only one game was played with Fort Benton this year; the last game cancelled because of bad roads. The one game played was at Fort Benton and Big Sandy won easily 26 to 0. The last game of the season was with Belt. This game was for the cham- pionship of the Little Conference. The first half ended 7 to 0 in favor of Big Sandy. Early in the third period Belt put over a touchdown but failed to kick goal, which made the score 7 to 6, still in favor of Big Sandy.

BASKETBALL Basketball for the 1931 season was very successful. Even though the team lost fourteen out of the twenty-four games played, they seemed to do well when county or district honors were at stake. Things looked unusually bright at the beginning of the season with only Stack lost from the 1930 team. The team developed slowly and really did not go their best until late in the season. Only two of the team will be lost in graduation this spring. George Rob ertson, a four year man in basketball, and William Larson, a basketball and football star. SANDY WINS COUNTY TOURNAMENT The County tourney was held in Fort Benton during January with Ger- aldine, High wood, Fort Benton and Big Sandy taking part. After the final game on Saturday night, there were three teams tied for first place with one loss each. These teams were Fort Benton, Geraldine and Big Sandy. Big Sandy was awarded first place because of total points scored in the tourna- ment. SUB-DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The sub-district tournament was held at Havre with eight teams taking part. Big Sandy lost their first game to Harlem 18 to 19. The next two games 1931 I____II : ■ -Jl =11 n —I--------!i-----« |[= Page 45 THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ]□[ ][= □ □C played were won from Inverness and Hingharn by scores of 15 to 25 and 16 to 17 respectively. On Saturday night Big Sandy again played Harlem and this time for third place and a chance to attend the Great Falls tournament. This game was close again but this time Big Sandy came out on the long end of a 19 to 21 score. THE FALLS DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Eight teams were represented: Great Falls, Centerville, Teton, Chinook. Havre, Browning, Cut Bank and Big Sandy. Big Sandy won from Cut Bank and lost to both Teton and Centerville. This gave Big Sandy sixth place in the district.

She is also one to graduate this year. Lillian (King) King, Right Forward Lillian doesn’t let the guards work over her, even if she isn’t so high and mighty. She makes up for her stature with her ability to top in the baskets. 1931 captures her. Nancy (Napoleon) Roberts, Right Guard Playing during her last season of high school athletics, Nancy has held down (he guard position by her “scrapping ways” and ability to “catch and keep up with her man.” Her position will be hard to fulfill next year. Irene (Renee) Arnold, Left Guard “Renee” has played all positions except center since her Sophomore year when she journeyed with (he team as sub. Her abiliry to hold down either posi- tion will be hard to fulfill next year. Margaret (Badet) Beaudett, Center Guard Winning more speed and accuracy from last year “Badet was even more valuable for the team this year. Her ability to guard “her man” in every game was hard to beat. She will be back and perform her duties next year, we are sure. Anna (Mugna) Beck, Sub Anna went on nearly all the trips this year and she certainly won her let- ters as a guard. No doubt she will be on the line-up next year. Mary Ellen (Hill) Hill, Sub Mary Ellen has one more year left, and I’m sure her adaptibility will win her much fame next season. 0=ra 193 1 I II —ir II - hi - c=—II -icr=0 Page 47 C=n THE CENTENNIAL □[ ]□[ ini ic=o une Coach Mrs. Giebel, Carita Smith, Mary Ellen Hill, Nancy Roberts, Margaret Beaudett Anna Beck, Juanita Hultin, Lillian King GIRLS’ BASKETBALL This year the girls played more games than any previous year. There were ten games played, six were played on visiting floors and four on our own floor. The schools visited were: Chinook, Joplin, Rudyard, Hingham, Box Elder and Fort Benton. We won three of these games, namely: Chinook 24-5, Box Elder 24-13, and Fort Benton 17-16. We lost the three games with the High-line towns —but the game with Rudyard was not one-sided—at the end of the half the opponents were six baskets in the lead and at the end of the last quarter and until the final whistle, they were only one basket ahead. One of our forwards had the misfortune to sprain her ankle at the beginning of the game, thus there had to be some alternating which handicapped the team for the rest of the games to be played. On return home, we journeyed to Fort Benton where we overtook them with a great victory. Juanita had quite a rest after spraining her ankle on the previous trip, thus she topped in most of the baskets. Our next game was with Box Elder. With Carita’s and Lillian’s passing they were able to top in the baskets and thus leave a victory for old “Purple and Gold.” Joplin journeyed here for our last game of the season and the final game for Carita, Lillian, Juanita and Irene for the Big Sandy high school. The team was out to win and they won with an easy victory—score being 15-14. Thus, throughout the season, the girls had won six games and lost four. ir : IE o=3 ----- i Page 48 ][ ]r ] 193 1 C= ]□[ mi ]□[ ]□ THE CENTENNIAL U=0 EVENTS OF THE YEAR HIGH SCHOOL .MIXER September 5 On September the fifth the Seniors gave the mixer for the purpose of ac- quainting the Freshmen with the other members of the school.

If you think that you could improve it—You could. If your picture isn’t any good—Look what the photographer had to work with. If your name is left out—The printer did not have the right size type. if the write-ups are no good—Blame the Editor. He didn’t write them. If the book costs too much—Blame the Business Manager. If you think you are going to learn anything by reading this page—You’re an optimist. Millard Kay: “It is a mistake for a man to go through life alone.” Margaret Sheehy: “Why don’t you get your mother to chaperone you?” Even a fish wouldn’t get caught—if it kept its mouth shut. Tell some people a joke with a double meaning and they won’t get either one. Notice: Al! jokes handed in to the staff should be written on tissue paper, so that we can see through them.

Carita’s idea of the high school assembly—the only place you can chew gum with a free conscience. “RECIPE FOR A TEACHER” Take the usual number of fingers, Add a grade book, of any size, A pen, and plenty of ink, And the ability to look very wise.

He continued. “Norma Nelson is working in the mission fields of India. She’s been over there for five years already. Yes, I know wliat that inquiring look means. Floyd Jenson went over with her so she is not alone.” In the meantime Irene thought of some more of her classmates. “How about the rest of the boys? There’s Sig Dyrland, Sophus Peterson, Herbert Farley and Mark Cooper.” “Sig Dyrland is running in competition to Henry Ford as he has invented a new model car that is a great deal like the Ford. If you remember that old bug that he used to have in school, you have an ideal picture of the car he is putting out. “Sophus Peterson is continuing the work of the late Dr. Charles Barker and is touring the country speaking to high school students. He has taught many a child to repeat and live up to Huxley’s theory of education. “Herbert Farley is the personal adviser of the president. He thanks Mrs. Giebel for giving him his English course and also gives himself much credit for the conscientious work which he put on his daily reports. “And now for Mark Cooper. He is now known as Dr. Mark Cooper and is located at Rochester. He said that when he first came there, the people or patients would not let him come near them with any operation tools. This set Mark to thinking, for he had to earn a living somehow. The outcome is that he now wins the people over to his way of thinking that only exercise can keep the body well and there is no need of operations. Mark won’t have to starve for a while yet.” Eugene could keep silent no longer. “We have a nurse in our class too. Alvina Bitz is a trained nurse and she is devoting her time to help the people living down in the swamp-regions of South America.” Silence reigned for a moment but then Gene spoke again, “I know some- one who we have forgotten to mention.” All answered at once saying, “Who?” “Bertha Berg,” was his reply. “Bertha’s leading characteristic was her neatness and her artistic taste. She started out as an interior decorator and was so good that she secured the contract to decorate the new White House when it was built several years ago. The fame and success she gained here have made her known internationally.” “Did she forget her music entirely?” piped in Lillian. “Oh, no. She is still beating the bass drum and playing the chimes—but in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Bill, the day we found her we attended her wedding dinner and for some reason or other I think you’ll soon hear from her because sisters-in-law always write to their little brothers.” This gave the crowd a good laugh because they all understood.

I suppose you all know where 'Rip’ Wilson is. He is certainly the man for the position which he holds. He is succeeding Knute Rockne as the coach of the Notre Dame football team.” Gordvn again awoke. “For goodness sake! Look what time it is. Seven o’clock. I’ll have to be getting back to my cattle.” “Yes and we must get back home, too, Squirtv.” As they were preparing to leave, dinner was announced and they all stayed for a banquet which reminded them of some of the many banquets which they attended while still in high school. They discussed many of the happenings of their high school days also. After a very pleasant afternoon, the three boys bid Bill and his wife adieu and the program was made complete by singing the “Sandy Rouser.” “Sandy Hi School, hats off to thee, To your colors true we shall ever be, Firm and strong, united are we. Rah, Rah, Rah, for Sandy Hi Rah! Rah! Rah; Rah! Rah for Big Sandy Ili.” Emma Bitch holz William Larson Bertha Berg SENIOR HISTORY (Continued from Page 24) fore we choose Trainer Wilson to help us on our quest for the Key of Knowl- edge. Midshipman Berg was again clioosen to lead our number. Many honors were won by members of our crew. Skippers Robertson, M. Ray, O. Ray and Blazek were crowned for Athletic superiority. Chef Arnold and his Noble Hash Mixers, Smith, King and Roberts, had fared in good shape. It was early morning in May when Steersman Dyrland set the crew wild with excitement, when he yelled, Land, Ho! Rear Admiral Bruner had sus pected such and was prepared to meet the situation. We, fourth-year men, have valuable information about the Key, called Ex perience, and will continue to seek her out. Now as we close, say my shipmates and I, “Hats off to the crew of the Battleship Big Sandy, to its gallant officers, Admirals, Captains, Junior offi- cers, cooks, and even to the Captain’s cat.” s Dorothy Cooke Ivan Berg Carita Smith 0=31...'Ml —II.
