STUDENT COUNCIL Mr. Skeie Pres, Wolty,Norma Chauvet Don Courtnage Wilma Slebrasse Ilene Eerlinger The student body as yet have not had any serious problems to discuss. They held one meeting which was carried on very business like by our members. At this meeting it was decided that each class of the Sr. High was to put on some kind of an assembly program. It was left up to the respective classes to decide just what the program was to be. A few other minor points were discussed but they are too lnsignificft.it to mention. BOY SCOUl’S OF AMERICA, TROOP 88 During the school year 1940—11- Troop 88 advanced noticeably along the Scouting trails. Although tho mem- bership decreased slightly, the r'cream'1 of the troop re- mained , and some new members were registered. The act- ivities of the year consisted of further work on .the Madison Valley Camp, and the building of rustic furnit- ure. Notable advancements in rani: were Scouts Glenn Panchot, Ellsworth Skeie, and Lillis WeIty, advancing to the highest rank--that of Eagle; Joe Quinn advancing to Life rank; Robert Green advancing to Star rank; Lester Rutledge and Eddie Nygard to First Class, and Harold Sherbeck to Tenderfoot rank. In the-class of '41 are two of the charter members of Troop 88, Scouts Richard Jenkins and Willis V elty. These boys have followed Scouting through their junior high and high school years. It is the sincere hope of these boys, and of the class of »41 that Troop 88 will continue to exist in the active status that it has in the past.

Harlem 13--Big Sandy 2S Next we traveled to Harlem, to play on a . mu SJ- field. Paul Svennungsen took off his shoes and struck out for a good run, at his suggestion, the other hoys on our team slipped off their shoes too. Soon we saw the Harlem hoys taking off their shoes; they had decid- ed that our boys knew best. It was really a sight to see--muddy feet splashing by on the football fiald, hoping to make a touchdown. Dodson 12--Big Sandy 31 Dodson was next to fall at the feet of our Pionea? Team. This was the only game in which anyone got hurt. Once more Paul cones to our attention, this time he had a tooth knocked out. Fort Benton 12--Big Sandy 46 Fort Benton was the team that we had been waiting to meet. We hoped to meet with a team of almost equal skill, but to our disappointment, they were almost as the other teams. I Denton 46--Pig Sand;?- 19 The game with Denton was the only game e was a cold and snowy day whi ch made it play. Junior Ray made three touchdowns in quarter, these were the-only touchdowns to day. Paul Svennungsen good high in thi s cho o1 me The we lost, harder to the third be made that nd Frank lama both played very game with Denton was the last ramo to be played by Junior Ray and Ed laulo. Even though Big Sandy's basketball season was one of the most disasterous in our school history, many are the bright points to be remembered. Captain Ray's grand shooting eye, Skcic's do or die fighting, Cline's bril liance at the district tournament, especially against Gilford, Robertson's amazing center play for- a first year man, as well as Svennungsen s clever ball hawking and Yama'3 defensive excellence, and man other brilli- ant feats turned in by the reserves, McCrea, Ingram, Panchot, and Sicbrassc. Only Captain Ray and Ingram will be missing from this year's squad when Sandy again takes up the count game . w • (, . V -.s—A i

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The R, Oc H« Club was started two years ago when Miss Hodgkiss came to direct our footsteps and destinies Since then it has been ascending a very steep hill and is' surviving and prospering more each year , For out theme this year we studied Home Economics in foreign lands. This was a very inter- esting study, and we have seen many and varied specimens representing each country„ Our after club refreshments were also very delicious, and were a lot of fun. The Ro 0 IIo Club is the most prosperous and industrious club In the Big Sandy High School,, and we hope to keep it that way This year four of our girls were chosen as delegates to Bosamaiio The girls who went got new ideas for our club which will be practiced next year. Some of the things we have added to our act- ivities are the Christmas Party for Children, The Co-Ed Prom, Style show and Tea, and The Mother Daughter Banquet. I'm sure that under the able directorship of our leader the club vi 11 find a higher place each year. Thanks, Miss Hodgkiss, for all you've done for us J FUTURE FARMERS Four years ago the following greenhands were Initiated Into the Chapter: Ben Opiius, Lawrence Jappe, Robert ■ TIngley, Kenneth Robertson, Frank Petr, Edwin Laulo, Richard Moes, Charles Ray, and Kennth Chauvet. Since then these boys were active members of their Chapter. Some of the highlights of the year were the Ag. Bawl, the trip to Glacier National Park, and the State convention at Bozeman. The following year was much the same. A lar- ger representation went to Bozeman. A new advisor, Mr. Julson, was installed and has remained with ua since. He has stimulated the activity of the chap- ter and much was accomplished. 1939-40 was another successful year. For the first time we received recognition at the State Convention. Kenneth Chauvet was high individual in livestock judging. The team placed seventh in the state, Frank Petr was awarded the State Farmer Degree. In '41 the team received 3rd place in Po- ultry Judging at Bozeman And so as our Future Farmer days of High Sch- ool are almost over, we leave this club a little sadly, but hoping that It keeps on climbing.
