SENIOR HISTORY Of the thirty-3even Freshmen who entered Big Sandy High School with the idea of con- quering the world, only twenty-nine remain to he the victors. 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.
