MUCHOW We, the Classes of 1938 and 1939, in an en- deavor to express our gratitude for his ceaseless devotion to the Senior Class and its activities, and to the publication of this Centennial, hereby dedicate this memory book. Senior Class Junior Class SUPERINTENDENT 0. LLOYD GILLESPIE Much has happened in the Big Sandy High School since the publication of the last Centennial. In addition to events which naturally occur, as time passes, changes have taken place in the school. It is our belief that most of these changes have made our school better than it was before. This im- provement has been made possible by the development of a cooperative attitude within the school and be- tween the school and community. No school can hope to accomplish anything worth while unless it has the support of the community and a spirit of will- ingness on the part of the students to accept their share of the responsibilities. Whatever advance- ment has been made has come about through coopera- tion and a willingness to share responsibilities. Further development, to a great extent, depends up- on continued advancement along these lines. ZELDA BILILE Willamette U Salem, Oregon U of Montana B.E.

Hansen, Chairman Ray Sibra N. R. Martin John Siebrasse Harry Tow The Board of Trustees has an important part to play in the operation of the school. The selection of the proper people for this position is one of the most important act- ivities which the citizens of any locality have to perform. The Board must not only voice the will and desires of those whom it represents but it must also anticipate what these desires will be. The Board has as its first duty the determining of the general school polibies. This consists chiefly' in determin- ing the type of school desired as to courses, activities, standards and many other phases. The details of these phas- es, in most cases, being worked out by those selected by the Board to do so. The provision of a school plant and the financing of the operation of the school is another responsibility which is a part of the work of this group. The adjusting of ex- penses to meet the revenue provided from our various sources of income cannot be over-estimated if a school is to operate economically and efficiently. Decreasing revenue has made this part of the work more difficult the past few years. Providing a personnel to administer its decisions and to perform the actual duties of instruction 'is the third type of work which must be performed. Careful selection of these individuals, while requiring consideration at infre- quent intervals, determines the actual value derived from the school and thus is an important duty of the Board.

The first year was full of strange and unusual events for so innocent a group, but as the years went by they became exceedingly sophisticated. The first contact with High School life was the formal initia- tion which took place two weeks after our entrance on September 8, 1934. On that eventful day the boys came to school dressed in green bloomers, green shirts worn backwards, curled hair with a green ribbon, and big overshoes. The girls wore overalls with the legs cut off above the knees, huge mens overshoes, men’s stockings and garters, and braided hair tied with a green ribbon. As we paraded through the school halls and down town our ri- diculous clothes provoked many laughs, but we didn’t mind because we knew we would show them what we could do some day soon. At a short program in the morning and in the evening we were properly initiated. In consolation for the agony which we had previously gone through, we were introduced to the student body by a mixer. We, in appreciation of the good time shown us, gave a return party for the High School. Very efficient officers were elected, Willoa Tingley, President; John Hultin, Vice President; John King, Secretary and Treasurer; and Ethel Campbell, Student Council Member. Miss Foote was chosen as our class Sponsor. Members of the class were fortunate, as yet being Freshmen, to participate in many of the big occurances of the year. Marjory Hill, Irene Pratt, Bethel Henderson, Helen Pearson, and Willoa Tingley took part in the District Scholarship Contest, and Gregory Henderson, Gilbert Henderson, Richard Schmidt, and Willoa Tingley went to Bozeman for the State Contest. At the Carnival the check room and a game were operated by our class. Ethel Campbell, our candidate, was chosen as Carnival Queen. We, though inexper- ienced, managed to make a large enough profit to finance a satisfactory picnic lunch, even after having the misfortune of losing money at one booth. In our Sophomore year Elma Shore was elected President; John Hultin, ViC9 President; Bethel Henderson, Secretary-Treasurer; and Irene Pratt, Student Council Member. Mr. Muchow was chosen as class Sponsor. We found our Sophomore year not as exciting as the previous one. Our only social activity was putting on the Athletic Banquet. Sophomore Home Economics girls, with the aid of Miss Kearny, cooked the dinner, and five girls of our class served the banquet in a school room decorated appropriately for the occasion. We again took part in the Carnival, this time running a confetti booth and a candy stand. Irene Pratt was our candidate for Carnival Queen. A greater number of students represen- ted our class in the District Scholarship Contest at Havre: Edna Mae Kimble, Irene Pratt, Marietta Brown, Willoa Tingley, Helen Pearson, Marjory Hill, and Bethel Henderson. The year ended with the usual school picnic. Our officers during our Junior year were George Quander, President; Dewey Williford, Vice-President; Bethel Henderson, Secretary-Treasurer; Ethel Campbell, Cheer Leader; and John Hultin, Student Council Member. Mr. Muchow was again chosen as sponsor. 'We made more money than usual on the Carnival, as we were privileged to more concessions. Some members of the class conducted a hot dog and hamburger stand, while others had fortune telling booths. Lenore Kaiser, who represented our class, was elected Carnival Queen. Money derived from the Carnival and the Junior Play, which, by the way, was very good, was used to put on the cleverest and most original Prom ever given. For this success we ex- tend our deepest gratitude to both Mr. and Mrs. Muchow. Class rings were chosen and some Juniors ordered them and some waited until they were Seniors. Our class was again well represented at the District Scholarship Contest, Ethel Campbell, Helen Pearson, Marjory Hill, Bethel Henderson, Irene Pratt, and Willoa Tingley taking part. After winning first place in this contest, Marjory Hill entered the typing contest in Bozeman. We found that our class has musical ability as well as scholastic ability when Irene Pratt was chosen to play in the All State Band at Missoula. Flowers were purchased for the Seniors upon their graduation. We went to Camp Kiawanis for the annual School Picnic. Many things of importance happened during our last year at Big Sandy High School. This year the honor of initiating the Frosh was ours. Appropriate costumes were selected for the Freshmen to wear and the initiating program was very entertaining to the upper classmen. For our Senior year we chose Willoa Tingley as President; John Hultin, Vice- President; Inez McConkey as Secretary; Chester Stack, Treasurer; Helen Pearson, Student Council Member; Marjory Hill, cheer leader; and a member of our class, Elma Shore, was elected President of the Student Body. The carnival proved to be a success. A large profit was derived from the bingo game and from the sale of dance tickets. Our candidate for Carnival Queen was Helen LaBuda. Next on our program was the New Year’s dance. Two members of the class were fortunate to have the opportunity of attending the All State Orchestra Meet at Butte—Willoa Tingley and Marjory Hill being our representatives. After work on the annual is finished, a cast will be picked for the Senior Play. Plans have been made, and if carried out, we will have a very enjoyable vacation trip Sneak Day. It has been decided that at graduation the girls will wear white sport dresses, and the boys, dark suits. With the best wishes to all future students of Big Sandy High School, we leave with no slight regrets, although we would not like to have to start over again. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior class of nineteen hundred thirty-eight being of sound mind and judge- ment and feeling that our days among you are numbered and acting under no influence of any person, so hereby decree this our last will and testament.

Ethel Campbell, who was in command, was the first aviatrix to have charge of a sea-going passenger plane. On this trip she was bringing several very noted personages. Among them were Dr. H. A. M. Pearson and Dr. I. M. Pratt, two zoologists from the Aobhusa , known as The Association of Bug Hunters of the United States of America , 9nd Bethel Henderson, an ambassador from the United States. Besides other things, these noted people discovered during the trip that they had been classmates during their years at the Big Sandy High School and that all three were headed for the same place, the Capi- tal of Hawaii and the home of the Hawaiian President, Edward Beaudett, who was also an old classmate of theirs. Miss Henderson was on a good will tour from the United States, and the two lady zoologists had been invited by the President to find a means of destroying the bugs that were eating his pineapple crop. On arriving at the air port the three reunloned friends found that the aviatrix was their old pal, Ethel Campbell, who had also belonged to the class of '38. The four set out for the capital together. On the way they stopped to watch a picture that was being shown on the beach. There they discovered several more of their old classmates, Ervin Bahn- miller, the matinee idol of the day; his leading lady, Helen LaBuda; and the champion wo- man surf-board rider of the day, Ethel Monson, who was doubling for Helen in some of the scenes. Of course the three dropped what they were doing and joined their friends. The seven of them hadn’t gone but a few more feet when who should they run into but John Hul- tin selling ear muffs, and Jo Marie McSweeney, a sunhelmet saleswoman. They had decided to combine the two businesses but Jo couldn’t decide whether they should call it the Hultin and McSweeney Incorporated or just Hultin and Company. When they saw their old friends, they stopped arguing long enough to say that there were several others of the 1938 class that were living on the Islands. At this remark the other eight remembered that they knew of different members of the class that were living there. Ethel said she had seen Iris Peterson, who was a traveling companion for a rich old lady. But Iris wasn’t much worried because she hoped to marry the son soon. They found Iris on a dude ranch owned by Inez McConkey, thereby killing two birds with one stone, Inez also being a classmate. Helen and Irene remembered George (bring em back alive) Quander, a big game hunter in connection with their zoological association. They found George alright, but he was having quite a time with one of his monkey cages. Chester Stack, who had fallen heir to a fortune, had taken up butterfly chasing as a hobby, and had run into one of George’s monkey cages by accident and made quite a disturbance before he was released. After this incident, Jo Marie said that she had seen Edward Trepina, who had just opened his beauty parlor, the Eddy Salon; and Willoa Tingley, who was trying to teach the natives physics. At the men- tion of teaching something, Bethel said that she had heard that Missionary Elma Shore and her assistant, Dewey Williford, who had turned over a new leaf upon learning the evils of mankind, were somewhere in Hawaii. When the reunited class found them, they had just opened a roof-garden because as they said there seemed to be no savages left In Hawaii. Elma told them of two more members. They were Gregory Henderson, who was star gazing on top of a dead volcano, and Viola Jappe, who had crossed pineapples and coconuts to produce pineapple milk. When they counted up the number of members that were there, they found there were twenty counting the President. Someone suggested telephoning the President and telling him of their reunion and see- ing if he knew of any other classmates close at hand. President Ed. told them all to come up to the capital. As they entered a great banquet hall; they found seated there eight more of their class: Marjory Hill, the President’s certified public accountant; George Jurenka, his butcher; Lillian Jurenka, his bodyguard against the native girls; Hope Rich- ard; his secretary; Richard Schmid, the poet laureate of Hawaii; Rebecca Sibra, publish- er of the Hawaiian Gazette ; Bessie Trepina, the capital dietician; Gilbert Henderson, who was air conditioning the capital buildings; and Mr. Muchow, who had been their class sponsor during their Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. Since their high school days, Mr. Muchow had become the United States Secretary of State, and was in Hawaii on business. Just before the banquet was served, the old class was entertained by the great priraa donna Martha Kostecka. Martha completed the class. Everyone enjoyed themselves the same as they used to do, twelve years before, during their four years of high school together. AUDREY ARRISON Her home is in Heaven she s only here on a visit.

HOLLISTER Sponsor JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY June, July, August slowly slipped away and then on September 3, 1935 there came a renaissance in the history of our lives. We joined the Grand Army of the Big Sandy High School. After registering in the office of our new commander in chief, Mr. Gillespie, and getting acquainted with the orders and personalities of the other officers, we received our knapsacks and prepared for our long march across the wide expanse of learning. Little did we know what was ahead of us or how our fates would turn. Our large army was divided into four regiments. The highest group was known as Seniors ; no one knew why—unless they were more experienced in trying to bluff the officers in what they knew. It was this group what gave us our first lessen in army manners. On September 18, their foolishness was reflected from all of us, when we appeared, as for a Masquerade Ball in whigs and out- fits bowing and acting at their command to the amusement of all. It was the most dreadful and distressful day in our school history, but as we dared not show any resentment we took It like good sports and hoped for the best. Then followed the Juniors, patiently waiting for the time when they would be of the highest rank. The Sophomores were next--all genius- es or wise fools. We were of the lowest rank and were called Freshies perhaps because our ideas and answers seemed bright and foolish to those who had learned the correct an- swers elsewhere. There were twenty-nine of us Freshmen that started on the grand march. Under the able leadership of Colonel C. F. Boess and the staff composed of Lieutenant Mack Quinn and his Secretary Laura Tucker, we all worked hard and in the end we returned all the favors and enjoyments which had been given for our benefit by the upper classmen. Indeed! we were a grand expedition, united in spirit and determined to explore every nook and corner of Science, Economics, Mathematics and English. Many of us have continued throughout cur work with that same high spirit while others have had to take what to them seemed the easier paths of life and put their footprints in other roads. When our time expired for that year and we got leave for a three-month rest that we might be better able to resume the work in the coming fall, we were surprised to learn, upon looking over our accomplish- ments, that we had made many valuable contributions to Scholarship, Football, Basket-ball, Band, Orchestra, Debate, Declamation and many of the other school activities. During our Sophomore year of cur expedition we have very little to add. We were sup- posed to devote ourselves exclusively to mental and physical training while exploring the fields of knowledge and experience. There had been a change in the following officers: Colonel, Miss Davidson; Lieutenant, Walter Erikson; and Secretary, Arthur Svennungsen. We took an active part in the school activities and made the Athletic Banquet a success in spite of our low funds from the unsuccessful attempt at running a booth at the school Car- nival. We acquired a new member at the close of the year but we had a decrease in the regiment. When we went into our summer camp we had twenty-five members left. September 4, 1937 again summoned us back in the exploring expedition. By this time we had seen two years of service and were half way across the continent of Education, as far as our four years work was concerned. We started with twenty-five members throughout the following months. As Juniors we have more social obligations and requirements than either of the preceding years, but with the help of Colonel E. Hollister, which we sin- cerely appreciate, and with the help of the staff composed of Lieutenant Mildred Lloyd, and Secretary Pauline Kaiser we hope to come through this year carrying the flag Cj. suc- cess. We got off with a good start by clearing twenty-five dollars at the school Carnival held on October 23. Our first great undertaking was the Junior Play which came off on December 11. It was a success and put approximately fifty dollars in our treasury, tie intend to put on the Junior Prcm this spring and until then we can only sit back, and Quietly take orders from the officers until something comes up that will be for our side. JUNIOR CLASS WILL We, the Juniors and class of 39, hereby declare in our sound minds and bodies our last will and testament.

It was true. I, Edward Hollister, having been to Alaska coaching my Pion- eers, am now going for a trip around the world taking the Junior class President, Mildred Lloyd, with me. You see, Mildred s uncle had died soon after she graduated from High School and had left her a measley million or so. She has been living in her summer home in Northern Greenland for the past ten years. She made an agreement with me the other day that if I would promise to find her a husband she would pay the expenses for an airplane trip around the world with plenty to eat and a promise of a good time. (The only thing that worries me Is where am I going to find her a husband)• When we had packed and had settled in the plane I glanced at the pilot, who was actually grinning at Mildred. It was no other than Amos Svennungsen, the head pilot of the large concern in New York City. (Perhaps I have found a match for Mildred already). I glanced out of the plane window and saw a large yellow roadster burning up the pavement. It stopped right next to our plane. Can you take us to South Africa? We just missed our plane a few minutes ago. You see, we re on our honeymoon. Why it was no other than Pauline Kaiser and Arthur Svennungsen. Of course, we were glad to have them so we were on our way. Flying over Canada I happened to look down only to gaze upon what seemed to be a small village. Upon investigation I found that it was the estate of William O’Neil. I had the pilot, Amos, land so that we could visit our dear class mate. William seemed glad to see us but was very busy writing up a report of Whiz- Bang. I noticed a very pretty girl curled upon a couch in one corner. We asked William if that was his wife, but it was merely his secretary and wife to be, Arabella Berlinger. Arabella raced out to the kitchen and came running back with a couple of girls behind her. One of them was Lillian Petr, William’s cook, and the other Ella Mae Nepil. After a very friendly conversation we were on our way again. We went from there straight to New York where we stopped at a night club to celebrate in honor of the newly weds. After dinner the Aces of Rythmn Orchestra assembled. Art then informed us that he had taken dancing lessons in the Hawaiian Islands and would teach us the new version of the tango. We agreed so Art went up with the intentions of asking the Orchestra to play a number that we could dance it to. He came running back and made us all go up to the Orchestra platform. Why, the piano player was Audrey Arrison and the saxaphone player, Leonard Sorenson. The Orchestra gladly played the number we requested and when we had finished that dance it was time for the floor show. Clyde Reichelt came running out on the floor and swung into a hilarious tap-dance. He recognized us and came over to talk but it was then almost twelve o’clock and Clyde had a date with Geneva Olson who is in New York taking vocal lessons so had to hurry off after a few minutes. We boarded our plane and were off for South Africa. We reached there a couple of days later—stopping at the airplane filling station. The leading man was expecting us, but we had no idea that it would be Robert McConkey, an ex- coach from Notre Dame and present diamond king of Africa. After a hurried conversa- tion we journeyed on our way to Ketche where the newly weds planned to honeymoon. Upon entering a hotel who did we see sitting behind the desk other than Wilfred Berlinger who has charge of the night work in the hotel. After spending the night there we decided to leave for Italy. We landed in Venice early the next morning. Do you remember Helmer Ophus? Well, we found him on one of the Gondolas where he was employed as entertainer for love birds. The next day we decided to visit the famous fortune-teller, Madame Pruchitkj. Well, it was Rosalie Balazic.From there we went to China where we accidentally met Orville Komodowski cleaning the streets In Hedachknirsik. From there . we went to Tokyo and found Vernell Dyer, and Rosella Blockhus teaching the Japanese women to cook and sew. Pauline decided to take a few lessons so we stayed a couple of days longer than we expected. As we were about to leave Tokyo we were stopped at the airport for investigation. Thank heaven we got by--, but of course, we would since Tony Balazic was head inspector. Our next stop was at Vuxe, Russia—the city noted for its comedians and vaudeville entertain ers. As you might have guessed—’tv as there that we ran into Alex Haburchak and Wally Erikson. They certainly had made a name for themselves. We spent a couple of days with them, and then headed for Holland. We really had great fun there—wearing wooden shoes, picking tulips and watching the windmills run. Our biggest thrill came when we saw Mack Quinn sitting on a dike and holding hands with a sweet little Dutch girl—and what’s more picking pretty little tulips for her I He truly looked cute in wooden shoes, extra large and the usual Dutch costumes. He certainly had changed from his usual football hero’s ways, but that didn’t keep him from being good old Mack. ? e finally arrived in the United States again, and we re very much pleased with our journey, and our visit with all our old students and class mates.

This class furthermore, surprised the inhabitants of the Harbor by not only being high in number, but also in its ability to overcome its greenness—an ob- stacle forever standing in a Freshman’s road. After reaching this Harbor, which was utterly unknown to most of us, we decided to construct a ship which would carry us through our high school years and beyond. The com- mittee appointed to manipulate the mechanism the first year were President, Jean Frame; Vice President, Norman Ray; Secretary and Treasurer, Rita Dixon; Student Council Repre- sentative, Ed Moes; Yell Leader, Nora Berg; and Pilot, Mr. Hollister. Sailing was fairly smooth for a while, but we experienced a little rough weather dur- ing initiation. On the whole the journey the first year was made very pleasant by activi- ties such as the Carnival, the return party, the Minstrel show, and the other high school We landed at the Island of Camp Kiawanis for our picnic, and then dispersed for the After a pleasant vacation we all returned for another years voyage. The officers elected for this year were as follows: President, Jean Frame; Vice President, Thelma Skaalure; Secretary and Treasurer, Noreen Welty; Student Council Representative, Ed Moes; Cheer Leader, Nora Berg; and Pilot, Miss Bilile. After the excitement of the first year, we were content to be serious-minded, and tend to business for the first half of our Sophomore year. Although it has been quiet, many things are being planned for the remainder of the year. functions summer.

Soon after the opening of the school term the Freshmen became acquainted with their upper classmates through a process of initiation sponsored by the mighty Seniors. This is an episode in their high school life which we are sure that they will never forget— at least not for a while. In all the school activities the Frosh have done their share. They have furnished several boys who will help out in 39 3 athletic participations. Several of the Freshmen have had previous musical instruction which will greatly aid the Band and Orchestra in future performances. The Freshmen class will strive in the next three years to devote its energies to the advancement and betterment of Sandy Hi”. They appreciate the help and cooperation of their high school friends and teachers, and plan to make this school a better one through their having been a part of it.

CENTENNIAL STAFF The Centennial was first published by the Senior class in 1922. Since that time, but for a few exceptions, the Senior class has sponsored the yearbook and has made it the ex- pression of the Big Sandy High School spirit. This year the Seniors and Juniors decided to publish the Centennial together thereby lessening the need of a great amount of funds from one class. The Juniors have a section as well as the Seniors which will eliminate the need of the Juniors publishing a Centennial next year. Each class elected its staff members to write and to collect the material. The staff members have worked very hard together with excellent cooperation in writing and collect- ing this material. The annual staff wishes to thank sincerely Mr. Muchow for his splendid sponsorship, help and advice given during the editing and publishing of the Centennial; also Miss Little for her art work. The annual is published as a memory book to be cherished in the years to come. Many alumni as well as high school students buy annuals for this reason. This year approxi- mately one-hundred annuals will be sold. The annual is composed of a number of different departments in which all school activities are discussed. The organization of the annual varies from year to year, each class adding new material and discarding other material offered by the older annuals. The style and organization of the annuals may change, but the motive for publication will remain the same. The planographed annual of this year differs from previous annuals, and the staff sincerely hopes that it meets with the approval of its readers.

The old high school paper of which there had been no printing since 1928 had formerly been printed in the local news office. Inasmuch as the high school had pur- chased a new mimeograph the paper staff decided to publish a mimeographed edition. The Sandy Houser paper staff was selected largely from members of the Senior class who wore taking commercial work. The paper is financed to a great extent by advertise- ments, published monthly, and distributed free of charge to all high school students. The editing of the Sandy Rouser is purely an extra curricular activity, and as a re- ward for their time and labor employed, the staff receives little glory and lots of grief. Despite all the work and trouble the staff worked in a business like manner and really en- joyed the work. The money left from the advertisements will be spent on the staff picnic. This is one part of the job that will really be fun. Exchanges were made with approximately thirty neighboring high schools. The staff has endeavored to make the Sandy Rouser a publication that will portray the events of our high school life, and furnish a medium of communication with the student bodies of other schools. The staff appreciated the cooperation of all individuals and teachers who have helped make this paper.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club has been an important function in the Big Sandy High School since 1935. The Home Economics club is a branch of the Smith-Hughes course and is main- tained by the state Smith-Hughes funds. Big Sandy has been fortunate indeed to have had this branch located here in preference to larger towns with larger schools. The club is an essential feature of the department in creating closer friendship between the majors and minors and promoting the best interests of the Big Sandy High School. The first aim of the Home Economics club is to give the girls a chance to progress in their education by giving them an appreciation of their greatest profession, that of home making. The local branch of the Smith-Hughes course chose the name Sparkling Sandy Sisters for their Home Economics club. At the beginning of the school year a meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers. President, Bessie Trepina; Vice President, Lillian Jurenka; Secretary, Inez Mc- Conkey; Treasurer, Elma Shore; Sponsor, Miss Stokan. Local activities during the year, in which the Home Ec. Girls are being featured are the Home Ec. Style Review, and the Ag. Play. Both will be presented at the annual Ag. Bawl, March 26. Plans are being made for a joint Home Ec. and Ag. picnic in the spring.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Big Sandy Future Farmers has in its membership twenty-six boys who are taking vocational agriculture in high school. The aims of the organization are admirably set up in the Future Farmer Creed: I believe in the future of farming, with a faith born not of words but of deeds— achievements won by the present and past generation of farmers: in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can se- cure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the produce of our toil. I believe we can safeguard those rights against prac- tices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life and enough honest wealth to help make it so—for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with all those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task. This year the club has tried to carry this creed out. In financing our progress the Ag Bawl on March 26 played an important part as it was very well attended by patrons of the club. BIG SANDY HIGH SCHOOL BAND HORNS Le Moine Clark Mildr9d Lloyd Irene Littlefield OBOE William O’Neil BASSES Martin Anderson Edna O'Neil Arthur Svennungsen DRUMS Ethel Campbell Bethel Henderson Bette Anne Jones Ed Moes Thelma Skaalure Noreen Welty President Elliott of Harvard University once said, In all the list of subjects music is the best trainer of the mind.1' Other authorities now have a feeling that there is enough mathematics and reading in music to warrant placing it in the curriculum as a tool subject; and most everyone will agree that music, together with the kindred arts, brings beauty to our mechanistic social order and is probably the greatest stabilizing influence in our society today. In a word, music is a subject that should receive serious attention and study; it is not just something with which to play. The annual spring concert was presented on March 4. The numbers played were as fol- lows: Double Eagle March, by Wagner; Military Escort in Five Ways, by Fillmore; Flight of the Bumble Bee, Scherzo, by N. Rimsky-Korsakow; Song Sing Me To Sleep, by Greene, Cornet Solo played by Vernon Hansen; La Paloma, Mexican Serenade by Yradier; Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, by Goldman, Baritone Solo played by Nora Berg; The Old Refrain, by Kreisler; E-fer’s Holiday, by Yoder, Saxophone Solo played by Ruth Hultin; Cabins, an American Tone Poem, by Gillette; Jupiter Polka, by Goldman, Cornet Solo played by Melvin Tingley; and Festal Day, concert march, by Buchtel. The Band accompanied each of the solos. In addition to the annual concert, the Band gave a radio broadcast on March 25, 1938 at 7 o'clock P. M.; took part in the Havre Music Festival and also appeared at several football and basketball games. The programs played were all well presented and well liked by all those attending. Mr. Boess has worked hard in raising the technical and tonal standards, and students are very fortunate in having the advantage of studying fine music and being able to pre- sent it in a manner creditable to professional groups.

The modern tendency in education is to enrich the school program with outside activi- ties, which will not only help the student in making a living, but also give social and personal enjoyment. Such an activity is the High School Orchestra. The personnel of the Orchestra is composed of thirty-eight promising young musicians, under the very excellent instruction and advice of Mr. Clarence F. Boess. In an effort to develop the technical ability of the different sections, the follow- ing technical studies are used: the Prescott Technic System for horn players; the 0. Sevcik Bowing Exercise, and Max Fischel Double Stop and Technic Studies for strings. Representative Compositions studied by the Orchestra during the year include Marche Mili- taire —Schubert, Barcarolle —Offenbach, Francaise Militaire —Saint Saens, and Hung- arian Dance No. 5—Brahma. Even if the students often feel oppressed when they think of the many hours they spend in practising, the- smallness of this objection comes to their minds when they rea- lize that they are coming nearer to the goal of pleasure that can be derived from a higher art.

There were four altos and sixteen sopranos. Both junior and senior high school girls were admitted. During the year several have dropped glee club but we finished the year with eighteen members. The group made its first appearance at the High School Carnival in a musical number entitled Southern Memories. Two boys took part in this program. The songs sung were Beauteous Night, 0 Night Of Love —Offenbach; Shortnin Bread —Wolfe, and Carry Me Back to Old Virginny—Bland. Audrey Arrison, Ruth Hultin, Arthur Svennungsen and Vernon Hansen danced the colonial minuet. Betty Green and Anna Mae Lehfeldt tapped their way to the audience’s heart with their negro dance. The Glee Club took the part of an angel chorus in the Christmas operetta given by the grade school. The girls, Lillian Jurenka, Elma Shore, Rosella Blockhus, Ruth Hansen, Willoa Tingley, Nora Berg, and Betty Shore sang Brahm’s Lullaby” and some Christmas carols. Their next appearance was at the band concert. The numbers sung: Boats of Mine, --Miller, Roses of Picardy,”—Woods, and Nursery Rhyme Suite, —Custance; gave the con- cert goers a different type of music than any ever before presented. On two other occasions, namely; Commencement and the Grade School Musical, the glee club assisted with the programs.

Those leaving were Ed Ray, end; Jack Mahood, quarter- back; Rudolph Haakenson, guard; Joe Trepina, half; and Harold Clark, center. The semes- ter rule also took a promising end in Ervin Bahnmiller. Y ith a practically new team to build, Coach Hollister called for practice early in September. Twenty-five men responded and two weeks of practice on the fundamentals of the game found the Pioneers face to face v ith the Havre Colts on the local field September 25. Big Sandy emerged victorious in the first game of the 1937 football season, defeat- ing Havre reserves by a score of 7-0% on September 25% A pass from Chester Stack to Art Svennungsen gave the Pioneers their only touchdown after they had been in Havre territory most of the game. Malta’s fine offensive power overtook the Pioneers 26-0 in the second game of the season, October 2. One of the neatest offenses met by Big Sandy during the year was utilized by the Malta eleven. Their series of reverses combined with good blocking being very effective. Robert McConkey showed up well defensively for the locals. Coming to Big Sandy, October 9, Dutton’s giant team expected an easy game, but they had to fight hard to keep Sandy scoreless. The game ended in a 0-0 tie In the play-off the Pioneers pulled an end run with Ed Moes getting away for fifteen yards. Dutton’s passing attack was ineffective, all attempts being either incomplete or knocked down. At the end of the allotted rive plays for each team, Big Sandy had the ball well in hand in Dutton territory, and the score was 2-0 for the Pioneers. Traveling to Chinook, October 15, the team met their strongest opponents of the sea- son. Although the Pioneers managed to make yardage against their much heavier foes, they were unable to score, and came home on the short end of 33-0. Big Sandy met the Great Falls reserves on their field in a night game, October 22. Unable to get away on a wet gridiron, the Pioneers failed to function satisfactorily and lost to the tune of a 30-0 score. The boys traveled to Belt in high spirits, October 30. Neither side scored for three quarters of a closely fought game, with Sandy having the edge in yardage gained. With the ball on the one-foot line in the fourth quarter it looked as though the Pioneers might score, but punch to put the ball over was lacking. Leter Belt scored to win, 7-0. Amos Svennungsen broke his arm during this game. Fort Benton, Big Sandy1s greatest rival, played them at Fort Benton, November 6. Having a faster backfield and better interference, the River boys marched through the Pioneers easily and ran up quite a score before the Sandy-ites could score. A pass from Clyde Reichelt to Chester Stack to Art Svennungsen was effective for Sandy s only counter. Fort Benton became champions of the southern division after defeating Big Sandy 26-0. Seniors graduating from the squad this season will be: Gilbert Henderson, guard; Gregory Henderson, tackle; Chester Stack, full; and Ed Beaudette, end. Ed Moes who did a good job at half last season will be too old next season. All of these boys played well and will be missed by all of us. To them we wish the best of luck. Sandy forced into an overtime to win from Dutton—Chinook’s 180 pound line—McCart- ney’s (240 lbs.) long runs against the Pioneers—Pioneers failing to score from 2 yard line at Belt after Art was knocked out and Amos broke his arm—too bad—triple reverse pass that scored on Benton—worked twice—once for 6 points—pass, Chester to Art that beat the Havre Colts—slippery turf at the Falls--CHESTER STACK AND ROBERT McCONKEY BEING PLACED ON THE NORTHERN MONTANA ALL STAR TEAM. CONGRATULATIONS! Local fans hope to see a strong and big eleven next season. With a heavy veteran line returning the Pioneers hope to go places; however, graduation leaves only Amos and Art in the backfield. Chester Stack, who was placed on the Northern Montana All Star Team, will be hard to replace. Robert McConkey, who was placed at a guard position on the All Star Eleven, will be back as the main stay in the line. We expect big things from Conkey in 1938. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON 1938-1939 PROSPECTS Back Row: Middle Row: Front Row: Coach Hollister, Donald Courtnage, Robert Tingley, Gregory Henderson, Norman Ray, Robert McConkey, Superintendent Gillespie. Amos Svennungsen, John Hultin, Walter Erikson, Chester Stack, Art Svennungsen Alex Haburchak, Vernon Hansen, Jack Siebrasse. Prospects for the 37-'38 basketball team looked slim indeed as the season rolled around in November. Only 4 members of the ’36- 37 midget team remained that copped fourth place at the district tourney at Chinook. Those graduating were Harold Clark, forward; Jack Mahood, guard; Joe Trepina, guard; and Ed Ray, center. Things looked even blacker when Amos Svennungsen broke an arm near the end of the football season. Chester Stack, a transfer from Miles City, strengthened the team considerably as did several new men who reported in November. As the season progressed, it soon became evident that things were going to be con- siderably brighter than anticipated. A trip to the highline where the Pioneers won two out of three starts, seemed to put pep into the squad and from then on the team improved with every game. When the Pioneers held the great Benton team to a one point win, the boys seemed to have reached their best and were ready for the county tournament at Fort Benton. For the first time in many years, the Pioneers swept Highwood, Geraldine, and Fort Benton before them to take first place and win the County Championship. Big Sandy’s good fortune was soon checked, however, when Stack contracted blood poison, Captain Hultin seriously sprained his knee and Ray came down with tonsilitis. The Sandy team entered the district tournament without these men and dropped the first game to Inverness. Everyone concerned, however, felt as though the season had been a complete success. The crowds at the games were the best for many years and a fine attitude existed among members of the squad. Big Sandy still remains the County Champions of Chouteau County and are the possessors of a magnificent sun-gold trophy. V We are looking forward to next season with hopes of having another good season. Graduation, of course, takes its annual toll this spring and such men as Captain John Hul- tin, Chester Stack, and Gregory Henderson will be hard to replace. Art Svennungsen will also play his last game for the Pioneers in the County Tournament when he becomes 20 years old. We expect a lot of basketball from you, Art, before that time.

They have held a regular session from three to four every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at the high school gym. Miss Stokan, being a new instructor, and most of the girls being Freshman, they had certain difficulties to overcome before they could begin on a year of fun. There were twenty-two young athletes including Junior and Senior high school. By the middle of September they were fully organized and enjoying themselves playing kitten ball on the local field. After spending the day studying, the girls were quite re- lieved to end the day by getting some exercise. Kitten ball continued as the chief sport until the weather would not permit anymore out-of-doors playing. Tumbling and volley ball was next on the year’s program. The girls most able for tumbling put on a special act in the Carnival program entitled Spring and Fall. By the time the Carnival was over the girls were quite bruised but they enjoyed the act as much as the audience. A booth was operated during the night of the Carnival. After this event, volley vail was played in the gym. The girls chose sides and had an hour of exercise and fun each day. When the girls became tired of one game they would play other games, some exercise games, and some games with little exercise. As the winter months passed, basketball took the place of volley ball. The girls were divided into four teams; each being able to challenge any other team. To tell the teams apart the girls wore different colors. Basketball was a very active game and enjoyed by all the participants. As spring rolled around the girls went back out to the field and continued with the game they enjoyed so much in the fall. Kitten ball and track now occupied the girls dur- ing the athletic period. The Girl Athletes thoroughly enjoyed this year and feel that they have accomplished a great deal in the athletic field.

ADVERTISEMENTS Advertising in our year book is, merchants declare, of not very great value so far as getting response from the public is concerned. Even so, they are willing to contribute to the publication of the high school annual. For that reason we merely list the names of contributors in one of three groups, the groups indicating the smaller, medium and larger ad equivalents. Under this plan of ad arrangement we received financial support, and also we save many pages otherwise devoted to advertising material for other features of the book. The investments which the business concerns made in our annual perhaps mean more to us than to them, since this 1938 Centennial is made possible through their generosity. This book could hardly have been published without the substantial financial aid which the advertisers furnished. To the firms whose names appear on these pages, we extend our sincere thanks. May they feel recompensed for their investments by the knowledge that they have helped bring this book to you. We believe that the high school student body should, and will, through many coming years find opportunity to reciprocate by giving their future business to the various firms mentioned below.
