THE CENTENNIAL CARNIVAL QUEEN Bessie Black, a senior, was elected Queen at the annual carnival held in the fall. The votes were cast through a ticket system. She had as her attendants Louise Dixon, Irene Pratt and Pauline Kaiser who were the other class candidates. THE CENTENNIAL THE CLASS WILL We, the Senior class of 1936, being cf sound mind and judgment, and feeling that our days among you are numbered, and acting under no influ- ence of any person, do hereby decree thus—our last will and testament. To the Juniors we leave all our excess dignity and our ability to suc- ceed under adverse circumstances. To the Sophomores we will all the waste paper behind the radiators. To the Freshman we leave the paddles with which they were so enthus- iasticaTy initiated into high school. I, Leona Bartlett, bequeath my latest essay entitled “How To Become An English Teacher’s Pet”, to Orville Komcdoski, who I, believe needs it about as bad as anyone. I, Helen Benbow, bequeath my first chance at .new library books to Ed Trepina, hoping he won’t do too much outside reading. I, Bessie Black, bequeath my ability to hold a football captain, as a beau, to Dorothy Walden, who had hopes of doing likewise. I, Clifford Bfcckhus, bequeth my unique manner cf reeling in Engllsn class to Harold Clark, wTio seems to be on the same track. Good luck, Judge: I, Norma Butler, bequeath my letter writing in school, including paper, ink, and pen—a stamp nowr and then to Inez McCcnkey instead of her do- ing Geometry, to write a fewT letters instead. I, Evelyn Chapman, bequeath my oratorical voice to Pauline Kaiser. I, Bernita Courtnage, bequeath my interest in Box Elder and Ford p.ck- up truck to whoever has a similar interest in view. I, Don Cowger, bequeath my “odd accident” reports to Ila Delp, who may stop chewing gum long enough to recipe the topic. I, Richard Drew, bequeath my “Chris mas is coming and so am I,” wa to Helen Neilssn. I, Clifford Dyr and bequeath my sarcasm to Clara Tord k for some day she might take P. A. D. from a coach. T, Harold Genereux, bequeath my secret cf bow to make a hit with a class president to Norman Haakensen. I, Olga Haburchak, bequeath my impetuosity which is like unto the fe- rocity of a bull-dog to Ella Mae Nepil. I, Ardath Henderson, bequeath my ability to work physics problems and my pull with the professor, to Virginia Turner. I, Lyla Hurd, bequeath my editorial ability of the school paper to Sydney Mosier. I, Pearl :.ngebretecn, bequeath my attentiveness (that I fail to have) in P. A. D. class to the person who so desires it. I, Eula Mae Jones, bequeath what musical talent I have got, to Richard Schmidt, hoping he can hold his position in Orchestra for at least two weeks and won’t have to sit out in the entry. I, Gladys Larson, bequeath my unusual quietness to Jack Mahood, wfio could make good use of it to the fullest extent. I, Alice Littlefield, bequeath my librarian chair to John Hultin, hoping he’ll stay in one place long enough to find out what it’s like. I, Evelin Ophus, bequeath my mathematical power to Leonard Ray so he can say Geometry is a snap. I, Gertrude Ophus, bequeath my World History grades to Lenore Kaiser THE CENTENNIAL hoping she’ll get along with the teacher as well as I did. I, Willard Ostrum, bequeath my best girl friend to George Quander who will give her the best of care when I graduate. J, Julius Peterson, bequeath my short stops and quick goes to Lucille Schlack, hoping she’ll rest her mind from shorthand long enough to exercise. I, Jack Quander, bequeath my spare time to William O’Neil and sin- cerely hope he’ll quit studying long enough to enjoy it. I, Laura Randall, bequeath my soothing voice to Benton Lauer. I, Robert Ray, bequeath my speed on the B. B. floor to Prank Hilbig and my president s chair in the P. P. A. to anyone who wishes to fill the vacancy by being an extemporaneous speaker, vacancy by being an extemporaneous speaker. I, William Sibra, bequeath my “I gotcha” look to Lanky Atwood. Signed, sealed, and executed this twenty-ninth day of May, in the the year of our Lord, 1936. LEONA BARTLETT EULA MAE JONES CLASS HISTORY Early in September, 1932, the Class of ’36 prepared to enter the feudal manor, Castle Big Sandy. Knowledge and Education were supposed to be our objectives in life, and we were told that here we would be put on the right trail of those treasures. When we arrived, there were three other groups already installed in our castle. One group was called Sophomores—wise fools; another was Juniors, or third-year men; then carme the Seniors, or the fourth-year Knights, who had been in training for three years, and at the end of the ensuing year were e xpected to don the'lr armor and be well in pursuit of the two virtues. We, of ccu.s:, were the lowest of the four groups. We were called Novitiates, or just 1 lain tender feat or greenhorns—in other words, Freshmen. Lord Sykes was the master of the castle, with several under-lords and ladies to aid him. From among this group we chose Lady Albrecht as 'our particular sponsor, and from our own ranks Bessie Black was chosen as our leader. Soon after our arrival we were given our first lessons in obedience and ccurtssy to superiors. Our minds were anything but acquiescent to the hu- m.liating treatment that we received, but the Knights had the Power of Pun- ishment over us, causing none of us to show open resentment. Our upper-class- men at last relented—after one of the most distressful days in our class his- tory—and gave a party in our honor, by which we were supposed to be recog- nized as legitimate fiefs of Castle Big Sanely. We fulfilled our social obliga- tions later on in the year when we retaliated with a similar party for them. Then, one day, we found that we were to be released from active duty for a period of three months. Accordingly the draw-bridge over the wide moat was lowered and we were allowed our freedom. When again we appeared at the castle, we had been promoted to the second group. This year we were supposed to devote ourselves almost exclu- sively to mental and physical training, and some of us did. Two of our men earned a position on the fighting phalanx, where they soon encountered manors such as Port Benton, Chinook and others. As for mental develop- ment—when the highest Castle Honorary Roll was posted there were only THE CENTENNIAL three names on it, and all three were Sophomores. We still had the same leader we had as Freshmen, but we had changed our sponsor to Lady Mahrt. I don’t believe that either one of them was over- worked this year, because the Sophomores have the least responsibility of any of the four groups. The time soon rolled around to the vacation, and we again found ourselves crossing the moat, via the drawbridge. Third year men have more social requirements than either of the pre- ceeding years. Lord Nagel now became our sponser, and we sincerely appreci- ate his help. Bessie Black was again our President. At one of our largest festivals—the Carnival—someone robbed us of most of our profits and suc- ceeded in making a complete disappearance. We never discovered who the culprit was. From this we experienced a set-back which did not prove to be |too serious. We tried our abilities in dramatics, under the direction of Lord Peelman, by enacting a play, which was at hast as good as its title—“it Might be Worse.” Expenses were cleared and a little profit made, enough to give the Knights a happy send-off on leaving our castle. With that end in view we sponsored a banquet and a Prom in their honor. Tt is we who have tno distinction of establishing the custom of selecting a Queen Ircm the Senior group to preside at this latter function. As the very last thing on the Castle Calendar, we had a picnic. Then came the usual three months adjournment. Once more we assembled in our castle with our group now promoted to Seniors—to Knights. The high-lordship had been transferred from Lora Sykes to Lord Gillespie during the summer menths, but our sponsor remained the same. Bessie Black was, for the fourth time elected President, and auto- matically became the leader of the Castle Group Association, and was also our candidate for Carnival Queen, which title she won. After the Carnival, our next important function was the Senior Play, al- so directed by Lcrd Peelman. It’s title was “Prize Pigs”, and we believed it to be a prize play. Having by this time become financially independent we resolved to edit an annual—the first since the Knights of ’31. Various individuals were as- signed tasks, and most of us were busy for several weeks, at least. Senior Sneak Day can hardly be left out or forgotten, especially by those participating. It is a privilege extended only to Seniors, and one we thorougn- ly enjoyed. Very soon after it the Third-year men gave a banquet, and dance, in our honor. It could hardly be surpassed. We only hope the Seniors next year are treated as well as we were. Finally we found ourselves facing a crowd of spectators, as a man from a neighboring castle gave us some advice. After his speech, we were presenteu with our armor, and told that we were at last ready to start on the trail of 'the treasures. And so ends some of the happiest days of our lives. We are deeply grate- ful to the sponsors and instructors who were so instrumental in neiping us find Knowledge and Experience, or at least the path that leads to them. HELEN BENBOW CLASS PROPHECY Upon receipt of a letter from Willard Ostrum, Montana’s leading farmer, Harold Genereux, a famous scientist with laboratories in New York City, set to work to manufacture an explosive, which, when applied to the nose of a green bug would exterminate it immediately. Alas, his egg supply was gone. On his way home from Jack Quanderis chain store he espied Bob Ray ana his world famous sandlot team having their daily scrimmage. Recalling his THE CENTENNIAL boyhood days he lost his dignity, and making a rush after the ball, he dropped the eggs. Boom?—the explosion shook the world. Family trees were uprooted. People were flung into mid-ocean. In the far away China Seas, Skipper Drew and his good ship were just entering Hong Kong with a cargo of wheaties, when Don Cowger, wireless operator, picked up a message which was being sent by Evelyn Chapman from ■the Philippine Islands, where she was a radio announcer, conveying the news, with instructions to proceed with further delay to the scene of the disaster off the coast of N. A. When the ship arrived the crew immediately set about restoration. The first two people to be rescued were Julius Peterson, famous detective, ana Eula Mae Jones, in a striped bathrobe. Julius, having been hit on the head by one of Willard’s chicken-coops, was slightly befuddled, and taking Eula Mae for a convict, had handcuffed her to himself. Eula Mae Jones, known to movie fans as “Petey Jones”, had been surprised by the upheaval while bath- ing at Long Beach. When the last recruit was dragged aboard a great shouting went up when the Class of ’36 realized they had assembled in one congregation—the most talented group of people ever to be rescued from an ocean. A means was then sought to restore them to their former beauty. Mme. Lyla Hurdsky, whose gowns excelled Clarence Tift ingtui'ter’s, took in the sails andi made wearing apparel fit for a king. Their streaming locks were re- stored to their former lustre and beauty by Leona Bartlett and Pearl Inge- bretson, of Bantinge Salon, ,Tnc., St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Alice Littlefield, •famed brain surgeon, administered typhoid germs! When everybody was comfortably resting in deck chairs reading the latest edition of the New York Times, who claimed as its editor the talented Helen Benbow, the call went- up for dinner. Amid a great rustling of sails, while Senator Dyrland’s stentorian tones were raised in cne of his famous congressional speeches as he proposed farm relief for the starving coal-miners, ithey were filing into the dining hall when the roar of an airplane was heard. One of the Ophus Airline planes arrived bearing the Ophus sisters and Norma Butler, who was filling an appointment as personal secretary to J. P. Morgan. The entire class was now present! Heard in a comer—under a life boat—a vigorous argument on the at- tributes of sheep, sponsored by William Sibra, and polo ponies, championed by Laura Randall. Each was defending their respective ranches. Olga's peace was shattered by their volley of English that upset her decorum. Olga Hab- urchak, Ph. D. positively could not stand bad English, but she was soon soothed by strains of music which floated from the conservatory. Bemeta Courtnage, a singer from the Metropolitan Opera, accompanied by Gladys Larson, graduate of the Leipzig Conservatory of Music, was rendering an eve- ning concert. Clifford Blockhus and Ardath Henderson were having consid- erable difficulty trying to work thedr intricate dance steps into (the varied rythm of the music. They had an engagement on Broadway. Mr. Nagel, un- mindful of the confusion of the past few days, sat calmly drawing winning football plays on the tablecloth for his Stanford team. The time had come for order and the famous executive came forward, paving had much experience in calling meetings to order during her early years in high school and her later years as ambassador to England, Bessie Black, from the crow's nest, cried, “The meeting will now come 'to order.’ LYLA HURD BESSIE BLACK BERNETA COURTNAGE THE CENTENNIAL ANNUAL STAFF Editor - Bessie Black Associate ....

JUNIOR President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer CLASS JACK MAHOOD ILA DELP LUCILLE S:HLACK On a bright September morning the green Freshmen came wandering into the schoolhouse like lost sheep. At the first meeting Mr. Boess was chos- en as guide for the forlorn group, Virginia Turner as president, Ella Ma3 Ingram as vice-president, and Ila Delp as secretary and treasurer. On a cheerful morning the group met again, being much refreshed by jthe summer vacation, and all of them ready for the journey again. Mr. Boess was again chosen as guide, Willard Moe as president, Jack Mahood as vice-president, and Tla Delp as secretary and treasurer. After summer vacation was over, the Junior class began its journey with- out any financial support. Their former guide resigned, so Mr. Gillespie ras chosen to fill the urgent vacancy. Jack Mahood was chosen as president, Iia Delp as vice-president, and Lucille Schlack as secretary and treasurer. The Junior play, directed by Mr. Muchow, was given March 14. The play vras a success and finances to complete the journey were secured. Everyone looked forward to the Junior Prom, the date being May 16. This date being the last social event, the Juniors departed May 29, hoping to complete the journey next year.

SOPHOMORE CLASS President - - ELMA SHORE Vice-President - - JOHN HULTIN Secretary-Treasurer - - BETHEL HENDERSON On September 8, 1934, thirty-seven dummies crossed the threshold of the Big Sandy high school to become Freshmen. John Hultin made the drastic mistake of visiting the laboratory, where he swallowed a mouse left there by Charlie Hansen from his prairie home. The first day passed without further mishap. The next thing of importance was the initiation. On that eventtui night, our belle, Marjory Hill, captured Willie Heck, the first of the fish dangling from her string. We chose Miss Foote as our class sponsor. Several of the dummies took part in athletics, music and scholarship contests. They proved that dummies often know more, if they could only talk, than those who are continually excreting a flow of incoherent babble. The Sophomore year of our class existence was not so full of strange happenings as the Freshmen had been, excepting that Floyd Atwood had a bad case of the “love germ” contracted from every girl he set his huge green eyes on. As Sophomores we chose Elma Shore as President and Mr. Muchow as our class sponsor. We again entered athletics, music and scholarship contests, to come out with blue ribbons.

FRESHMEN CLASS President - - MACK QUINN Secretary-Treasurer - - LAURA TUCKED On September 3, 1935, the Freshmen class entered high school with the idea in mind (taken from the elder high school students) that the work woula be easy, and we could get by with almost anything. Then came initiation! We took it like sports, and gave all necessary return parties, which is the cus- tom. The Freshmen class was fortunate enough to take an active part in bas- ketball, football, glee club, track and various other activities. Piloted by Mr. Boess the Freshmen have had a successful year, and hope to better it next year, and in the following ones.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Faculty Adviser BESSIE BLACK IRENE PRATT’ LYLA HURD AIR, MUCHOW The Student Activities Association is made up of a representative from each class, a faculty advisor, and the superintendent. The president is elected from the student body as a whole. Other organizations may have a repre- sentative at any meeting where their particular organization is involved. The purpose of this association is to provide for harmonious coordination among the groups and organizations. A meeting, of an informal nature, was held each month and at any other such time when it was deemed necessary to confer on a question. THE CENTENNIAL FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Sentinal ROBERT RAY HAROLD CLARK EDWARD RAY HAROLD GENEREUX JULIUS PETERSON RUDOLPH HAAKENSEN The Future Farmer Club of Big Sandy High School has in its member- ship thirty-two boys who are taking vocational agriculture in high school. Some of the aims of the organization are to prompte vocational agriculture, to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations, to create and nurture a love for country life, to encourage efforts and to strengthen confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work. This year the club had nine objectives which they have attained—super- vised practice, cooperative activities, community service, leadership activities, earnings and savings, conduct meetings, scholarship, recreation, publicity. The club gave its annual Ag Bawl on March 28, to secure funds for its customary summer trip.

MISS KEARNEY The members of the Home Economics Club are girls who have taken a course in Home Economics, or who are particularly interested in the work and development of the Club. The aim and purpose of the club is to give its members practical training in social problems in relation to their homes and home life. Through various projects and social activities, we hope all the members have been benefited. We held meetings the second and fourth Wednesday nights of each month. The classes rotated in taking charge of the social part of the meet- ing. We had a side show at the Carnival and served supper at several school functions to earn funds to carry on our work. In January, the sleigh ride; in February, the Valentine Party; in May, the Mother’s Day Tea—all were enjoyed by our members. Seven Seniors received the official pin in recognition of fine work. The pins were presented by Miss Kearney, Advisor, at our first April meeting.

HAROLD GENEREUX Vice-President - - ROBERT RAY Secretary-Treasurer - - JACK iviAHOOD Reporter - - WILLARD OSTRUM The Monogram Club, athletic organization of lettermen in the high school, was organized last year for the purpose of furthering athletic relation- ships among the boys. Although the club is not as active as it could be, many things were taken up in the meetings and discussed. The Monogram night was established as one of the feature social events of the year. This night tops the end of the major athletic season for the athletes and they go to the dance and enjoy themselves. A No-Smoking campaign was advocated by the lettermen to stop all smoking in the gymnasium during basketball games. Smoking while playing basketball was not the best thing for the athletes. “No-Sn oking” signs were made and posted. The Monogram members went about asking the people to refrain from smoking in case they were breaking the rule. In the future this club hopes to become stronger and gradually build it- self up, not only for the athletes themselves but for the whole school in gen- eral. Much credit goes to Mr. Nagel, our sponsor, for our early success. His untiring efforts went toward the help of the club and the boys.

SANDY ROUSER SENIOR STAFF JUNIOR STAFF Editor Associate Editor Business Manager Managing Editor Lyla Hurd Bessie Black Alice L'ttlef eld Lucille Schla:k Editor Acsociate Editor Bi s. ness Manager Managing Editor Lucille Sch'ack Sydney Mosier Edna Mae Kimble Pauline Kaiser This year marked the advent of the first mimeographed high school paper published since 1924. Besides offering excellent commercial and jour- nalistic training, the paper brings the students and townspeople, as well as Dther schools in closer contact with school activities. The paper staff was organized in December by the Seniors and will be carried on next year by the present Junior staff. r THE CENTENNIAL JOKES Mr. Muchow, when asked to say grace at a dinner, and not accustomed to the ceremony, said: “Dear Lord: We are in receipt of your kind favors of recent date, and beg to thank you. We hope to merit your continued courtesy.” When Willard Ostrum was first appointed for the paper staff, his weather re- ports lacked proper form and, above all, lacked names. Mr. Peelman very quietly but emphatically informed him that if he again omitted names from his yarns, he would be automatically dis-appointed from the staff. A few days “ater, Willard’s paper was received which read thus: Big Sandy, Mont.—March 23. A severe blizzard struck this section of the country last week and brought about the death of three cows on the Henry Wil- son ranch—their names being Jessie, Jenny and Buttercup. Alice L.: Where can I find sorrje information on the Monroe Doctrine? Mr. Peelman: Go up in the library and lock under President Monroe. Alice: Oh, is he there? (After a little thought): Maybe he won’t move. Norma B.: The mean thing! I toid her not to tell you I told her! Laura R.: Well, I promised her I wouldn’t tell you she told me, so don’t tell her I did. St. Peter: Who’s there? Mr. Mi:ey: It is I. Sv. Pever. (peeved) Get outa here; we don’t want any more school teachers. Mr. Nagel: Who signed the “Magna Carta”? Norman: It wasn’t me! Mr. Nagel: Just a minute; you weren’t called upon yet. Skeptical Visitor (Probably a member of the School Board): Call on that kid again. I don’t like his manner. I think he did do it! Lecturer: Motor cars make us lazy. Benton L.: Not if we’re pedestrians. Mr. Peelman’s 1:00 o’clock class was always late. He was much annoyed by some of the pupils ascending the stairs puffing and panting as though worn put. He detei mined to put a stop to this, and one day met them as they camp into the room, and thus admonished them: “Sea here, girls and boys, you are making altogether too much noise and hereafter when you come in o the cla s- room I want you to leave your puffs and pants downstairs.’’ Mr. Hoskinson (To visitor): There is not a boy in shop as clever as Ju!i; s Peterson. Visitor: How’s that? Mr. Hoskinson: Lock at those two chairs, Pete made them out of his own head and he has enough wood left to make an arm chair. Mr. Muchow (In shorthand): The character is written incorrectly; it should be written with a hook. Rebecca £.: Well, no wonder! I wrote it with a pen. Man: Are you married? Pearl I.: That’s my business! Man: How is business?

FOOTBALL When Football practice started there were four regulars left from last year’s team, and a handful of second string men. The remainder w-as made up of inexperienced, but willing players. In a short time, Coach Nagel assemibJ)2d them into a scrappy aggregation. The team, although very light, showed Plen- ty of fight and determination, which was shown by the stick-to-lt-uveness, against odds, up to the final gun. All the games were very close and none of the teams had very easy going with the exception of the Great Falls squad. A great deal of credit goes to the boys, who have been giving their besft on the gridiron. Big Sandy High loses seven members of the 1935 squad and their loss win be felt greatly. Robert Ray and Harold Genereux, co-captains, certainly con- tributed their leadership and playing ability in every department of the game and their places will be difficult to fill. Julius Peterson and Willard ostrum , scrappy guards on the first team, were in the thick of every game, giving the test they had. Bill Sibra and Clifford Dyrland, tackles, gave the opposition plenty of abuse and rough going. Marin Howes, sub-half, got plenty of action during the season and was always reliable. These seniors bore the burden of tile season, although not winning many games, they will carry with them the me- moirs of good sportsmanship. THE CENTENNIAL September 20—Havre Reserves 0 Big Sandy 12 The first game of the season was played on our field with the Blue Ponies of Havre. Havre received the kickoff and after failing to make a gain, punted to the Pioneers. Big Sandy gained two first downs and on a fake reverse Robert Ray ran 35 yards for the first touchdown. Both teams fought evenly throughout the game until Harold Genereux, on an end run behind perfect interference, ran fifty yards for the second score. Setember 27—High School Alumni 2 Big Sandy 0 The Alumni volunteered to substitute for the scheduled game—and what a game this turned out to be! Veterans for five years back played with all their zest. Fred Romig led the Alumni to victory in an overtime period after both teams failed to score. ,Tn the overtime period the Pioneers could not stop the onrushes and found the Alumni in their territory after each had tried five downs. Chinook 7 Big Sandy 0 The Pioneers traveled to Chinook for the next game of the season and lady luck seemed to be against them. Big Sandy received the kick-off and on [the second play of the game, a wild pass was thrown into the arms of a Chi- nook player and he scampered 50 yards to the first touchdown of the game. They kicked and converted for the extra point. In the last half, Big Sandy took the ball down the field on line plunges and put over a score. They failed to convert and thus the game ended in the opponents favor. Shelby 15 Big Sandy 6 Shelby came here next with the best team in the district and from all indications it would be a walk-away for the big team. The Pioneers received the kick-off, lost ground and when they tried to punt out of danger, a kick was blocked and recovered in the end zone for a safety and two points lor Shelby. From then on the game was a see-saw, neither team gaining mucn Advantage. Shelby scored the first touchdown and try for point was made £iood, then Big Sandy on flat passes made a quick touchdown as (the half endedi. The next half was much more exciting when the Pioneers seemed to be clicking and the game looked as though it was all in favor of the home boys. A bad break gave Shelby the advantage and Big Sandy lost its chances to score after having the ball practically on the goal line. October 19—Malta 12 Big Sandy 0 The Pioneers made the long journey eastward to Malta where they en- countered another team just a little too fast and big. This game was hard ifought all the way through with the opponents on the long end of the breaks. Two long end runs accounted for both of the touchdowns and the game end- ing as Big Sandy was fighting for a touchdown. Great Falls Reserves 44 Big Sandy 6 Great Falls baby Bisons had the edge on the Pioneers in this game. Playing under the lights and on a good turf was very new to the majority oi the Big Sandy players and they consequently had a difficult time getting under way. Big Sandy’s score came in the last quarter when Genereux plunged thru (the line for a four yard gain and a touchdown. Great Falls had little trouble in scoring. Old man winter set in rather early during the football season and the last two games, which were with Belt and Fort Benton, were postponed several times, but the weather did not let up and the season ended. THE CENTENNIAL BASKETBALL Standing:—Coach Nagel, Amos Svennungsen, Gregory Henderson, Francis Hilbig, Willard Ostrum, Harold Clark, Arthur Svennungsen. Sitting:—Joe Trepina, Norman Haakenson, Bob Ray, Ed Trepina, John Huitin. Before Basketball season started last fall everything pointed toward a real successful season. Floyd Atwood, six-foot-four center, and Ed Ray, stal- wart guard, were being depended upon for the first team, but both failed to be with us. This left us with only one regular from last years’ team. Captain Bob Ray lead the 1935-36 Pioneers through a tough season against teams that twcre made up mostly of veterans. Ed Trepina and John Hultin lacked confi- dence in playing the forward positions at the beginning of the season, but gradually developed fast passing and accurate shooting. Norman H?.akenson replaced Frank Hilbig as center at the beginning of the second semester and proved mighty valuable to the Pioneers toward the end of the season. Joe Trepina, sub from last years team, teamed with Bob Ray at the guard position to complete the regular five that ended the season with a bang. Valuable as- sistance was given by the following men who saw and gave action during the reason: Frank Hilbig, Willard Ostrum, Marlin Howes, Harold Clark, Gregory Henderson, Arthur Svennungsen, and Amos Svennungsen. The squad loses the services of Ray, Ostrum, and Howes due to graduation, and everything points toward a winnng team for 1936-37.

THE CENTENNIAL INTRAMURAL SPORTS BASKETBALL - VOLLEYBALL The basketball Intramural games were hard fought with Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores presenting plenty of competition among each other. The Freshmen seemed to be weaker than usual, but there is hope for them in the future. A round-robin tournament wras played. The Juniors beat the Seniors by one point, while the Sophomores beat the Juniors by about ten points, and ithe Seniors beat the Sophomores by fifteen points. This threw the teams in- to a three way tie and no single victor was declared. Volleyball w7as enjoyed by all the boys in the school during the last period in school and many close games were played. Classes did not compete in this sport, although groups of boys chose sides and competed for the en- joyment of the sport. TRACK The cold weather throughout the months of April and May of the 1935 season made it difficult for many of the boys to spend a great deal of time in track. However, two boys showed eagerness, regardless of the conditions of the weather by going out and trying to do their best. Don Brown in the half mile gave a good account of himself in the District meet in Havre by placing fifth, Jack Mahood did creditable in the high jump. Both of these hoys at- tended the State Track meet at Missoula. Neither one placed in their events, but they received valuable experience and good competition. The present season of 1936 is under w7ay writh hopes of having men in sprints, long distance runs and field events. Three track meets are on the schedule and participants are gradually working out to get in shape. Althougn not a great deal is expected in track this year, hopes are to build track up to the peak. BOXING A new sport was introduced this year for the high school boys. Interest being shown in the art of Boxing, a class was started and anyone who so de- sired might take part. The talent of these boys has been displayed upon various occasions. Most of the basketball games were added to by a boxing bout between halves. Two boxing cards have been held, one in December and one in March. These cards were highly accepted by those who attended and they were pronounced as being good exhibitions of boxing. The proceeds from these bouts were used to purchase equipment for the class. Two sets of boxing gloves wTere purchased. About twenty boys have been taking part in this sport. The class is being instructed by Mr. Muchow.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Baseball in Big Sandy High School received a running start this year un- der the coaching of Miss Kearney. Little things like having to start with al- most entirely green material did not daunt the spirit of our girls. We started (volleyball about November 1st due to change of weather and continued on un- til Christmas. During the winter months we played basketball, until the last bf March. When spring weather opened up we played baseball again. The Girls’ Athletic Club had charge of the hot dog stand at the Carnival fclso a minstrel show. We sold hot dogs at several of the football games. This money will go for letters awarded to each girl earning 100 points. This season has been an especially interesting one and prospects for next year are most promising. THE CENTENNIAL THE OENTENNIAI SENIOR PLAY “PRIZE PIGS” by Wilbur Braun was presented by the Senior Class on April 25. The play was directed by Mr. Peelman. Ham Conley, yearning to be a movie star, journeys to Hollywood and walks back, broke and discouraged, but determined to help his family by man- aging his mother’s meat market. Simultaneous with Ham’s homecoming and the loss of the shop, a letter arrives from wealthy Aunt Deborah. She is sending her dearest possession to them. Ambrose Wakeley, a practical joker, p-lans to have a little fun at Ham’s expense. Just as he is devising the ways and means of kidding Ham, Opie Johnson, a young colored girl arrives on the scene. Weary and hungry, she begs Ambrose for a job and he conceives the idea of pawning her off to the Conley family as the treasure. Mrs. Qonley is indignant when she learns that she has still another mouth to feed. No sooner is Opie established in the poverty-tricken home than another catastro- phe arrives in the form of three live pigs, another symbol of Deborah’s gen- erosity. Through the advent of the pigs, fame and fortune smile on Ham but not until he has been put through the most lamentable experience that ever befell a modem hero.

Hafer, was presented March 14, by the Class of ’37. The play is built around the story of a young girl, the governor’s daugh- ter, who decides to spend her summer vacation in a different manner than usual. On a certain spring morning the whole population of Pern Lawn gasps to see a pretty, overall-clad girl in charge of the local filling station. Inquiry reveals that she is Patricia Hammond. Within a week she is twice threatened with being driven out of town by the indignant townspeople. To Jimmy Clark a newcomer, is assigned the dismaying task of getting rid of her. To add to his troubles, Jimmy falls in love with the little nuisance. About this time the whole town is agog over the expected coming of the governor of the state and his daughter. The climax of the play arrives when Patricia reveals her real identity. The cast of “Here Comes Patricia” is as follows. Mrs. Carrol Es:e Crowder Mrs. Smith-Pcrter Angelina Knocp Minnie Knoop Patricia Grayson Lucille Schlack Dorothy Larson Helen Nei'sen Grace Jorg:ns?n Ceceha Bold Betty Lloyd Jimmy Clark Elbert Hastings Adam Wade Tim Hopp:r Bud Flannigan Director Jack Mahood Joe Trepina Benton Lauer Harold Clgrk Dale Skaalure Mr. Muchow THE CENTENNIAL SOCIETY MIXER The second week of school the Seniors gave the mixer to acquaint the Freshmen with the rest of the school members. The girls were ordered to wear gunny sack dresses, tie their hair with string, not to use any make-up, and to go barefooted. While the boys were told to wear girls' skirts, blouses, eld-fashioned girls' hats, make-up, and to go barefooted. The largest part of the evening was spent in putting the Frosh through their little acts; while the rest of the evening was spent dancing. FRESHMEN PARTY The Freshmen, determined to make a name for themselves and assume the responsibility of High School, gave their return party. The evening was spent dancing and again the lowly Frosh ventured on the dance floor. NEW YEAR S’ EVE DANCE New Years’ was welcomed in with a bang by everyone who attended the New Years Frolic given by the Seniors at the high school gym. Noise makers and novelties, which were sold to the participants, proved helpful in making the evening a success. Many people were present from the surrounding towns and country. Music was furnished by Jackson’s Orchestra from Fort Bentpn. MONOGRAM DANCE On February twenty-eighth the Monogram Club held its annual dance. The Glendora Players presented a play “The Cattle Queen,” which was greatly enjoyed by the show patrons. After the show dancing started and continued until the wee hours of the morning. This was considered one of the best dances of the season. AG BAWL On Saturday evening, March the twenty-eighth, the F. F. A., held theCr annual Ag Bawl. The hall was nicely decorated with pine trees. Punch was served throughout the entire evening by the Frosh. At midnight lunch was served by the Ag Boys. A special entertainment was given during the supper [hour, ifhe dance boasted a full house of enthusiastic patrons and a gjood finewas }iad by all. Music was furnished by Havre’s High School Orchestra. “The Cardinals”. CARNIVAL The annual high school carnival was held November 16, 1935. The stage show was preceeded by a selection of band numbers under the direction of Mr. Boess. The stage show was opened with a number presented by the high school Glee Club, called the Dance of the Nations, under the direction of Miss von der Vor. Next followed singing and dancing numbers, skits, a modem version of the man on the flying trapeze and a pantomine skit “Wild Nell”. The Carnival proper consisted of games of Bingo, Negro minstrels, the Sultan’s Harem, Athletic Show, Nigger baby, fortune telling booths, side shows and all kinds of games of skill and chance. Confetti, serpentines, paper hats [and noisemakers added to the carnival atmosphere. Hot dogs, pop and a midnight lunch appeased the hunger and thirst of the crowd. Bessie Black was voted the carnival queen with Pauline Kaiser, Irene Pratt and Louise Dixon as attendants. The gross receipts amounted to approximately $430.00. The Carnival was sponsored by Mr. Muchow. THE CENTENNIAL SNEAK DAY The longed for day arrived, when twenty-three seniors failed to show up for early morning classes. Of course, many tears were shed by the teachers and the other classes. In order not to let the other classes take advantage of our absence we left a sentinal to protect our rights. Various other articles were left too for reminders. Where did we go? That can’t be told, but we assure you it was a day worth remembering. JUNIOR PROM The junior class started in early to make arrangements for the annual banquet and prom to be given May 16. Under the guidance of Mr. Gillespie, committees were appointed to make the gala event the best ever. The high- lights of the evening was the coronation of the Prom Queen. The hall was beautifully decorated and the impression given was that of being in fairyland. The prom has always been a public affair during the last few years, and the same motive was carried out as has been the custom in the past. The dance on the whole was a glorious success. 3. 5. 6. 10. 12. 16. 17. 18. 20. 25. 27. 2. 4. 11. 12. 16. 17. 18. 19. 21. 22. CALENDAR SEPTEMBER School opens with a bang.
