1959 Pioneer BIG SANDY HIGH SCHOOL Big Sandy, Montana Foreword Knowing that some reminder of the events of the past year will be needed in the crowded years which lie ahead, the staff has prepared this account of school life for the year 1958-59. We have also tried to show the progress the Big Sandy School system has made since its beginning more than half a century ago. We are proud to present this history in our annual. We hope it will bring back as many treasured memories to the alumni of other years as it will to the class of 1959. Dedication This issue of the PIONEER is dedicated to the Big Sandy school system and those who have made education possible from the first pioneers in 1890 to those who today are planning a new grade school. In 1890 the county superintendent of schools received a petition from the people around Big Sandy for a school district. There were 6 pupils in the first school which was taught by Babe Tingley. This school house ended up as a chicken coop after the second building, The fast school a log cabin, was built. The cabin, which became a wash house, was re- placed by another building near the edge of town. The fourth school was a frame building. When it opened, it boasted of a poker table for a teacher's desk and a long table for the pupils' desk. In 1892 the clerk of the district, which then was Number 12, was Leigh Marlowe. The trustees were J.W. Clark and Julius Lehfeldt. In 1892 the district number was changed to 11 and re- mains that today. The first community Christmas in Big Sandy was held in the old schoolhouse. Brother Van Orsdel was leader and conducted an interesting meeting. In 1893 there were 20 pupils in school. The teacher. Miss Lena Marsh, swayed the rod for two terms. The Tingleys, Smiths, Williams, and Murrays comprised most of the pupils. The big event of 1898 was the building of a frame schoolhouse. It opened the first year with an en- rollment of 21 pupils with E.P. Flolow as teacher. The first term lasted 4 months. Gertrude Ra- gum was teacher from 1900 to 1903 with 35 pupils. She later became the wife of Bud Cowan. In 1913, what is now known as the old grade school building was started and in September 1 914 was used for the first time. This year, two years of high school work was started. As the students advanced, the other two years were added until the full 4 year high school course was given. The first record of alumni is for a class in 1917. This class boasted three graduates—Edna Wall Sones, Marie Tuttle Chambers, and Marcia Tuttle Fisk. Chambers A. Worstell was the only graduate in 1918. In 1950 the new high school building was built. In addition to the classrooms, it included a cafeteria, music rooms, auditorium, shop, and gymnasium. Plans are now being made for a new, modern grade school for grades one to six. This is the story of 69 years of school planning and education in Big Sandy. 2 The new school Superintendent’s Message Schools of a community usually reflect the out- standing characteristics of that community and the local schools are no exception to the rule. Big Sandy has been noted for many years as being a comparatively stable community; the school system is also recognized throughout the state as one that enjoys a great deal of stability in a period of somewhat unstable times, ed- ucationally speaking. In many communities board members change fre- quently, faculty members flit across the local scene, and school administrators do not become as well ac- quainted as many traveling salesmen! Fortunately this condition does not exist in our community—board members serve as many as eight three-year terms, teachers often teach children of former students, and administrators become well acquainted with the people of the community before moving on to larger school systems. The advantages in such a situation are very obvious. Faculty members know the children with whom they are dealing—Johnny is a real person and not the third seat in the fourth row. Experienced board members handle business much more efficiently due to the fact that they are familiar with school law. A school administrator who knows the community, school board, and staff can operate a school that reflects the educational philosophy of these three groups and do it more efficiently than the administrator who is new to the staff, school, and community. Students of Big Sandy have consistently reflected the stability of their school and com- munity by a mature approach to the challenging situations confronting them in school and following graduation. This stability is undoubtedly due to the school and.community atmos- phere in which they have grown to adulthood. In examining the past history of the Big Sandy Public Schools, we should seriously con- sider the potent force that the school system has been in our community and give credit where credit is due. Two individuals should be mentioned as having contributed a great deal to the status of the local schools—Mr. F.E. Miley, high school principal and faculty member for over thirty years, and B.H. Gullickson, board member for six three-year terms and chairman for five three-year terms. Both men have given more to the school than time and effort—they have put their hearts into a great service! Congratulations to the Annual Staff members and Miss Hanley on a superior piece of work. I know this book will be a landmark in school history as well as your personal history. This Class of 59 is the finest group of seniors I have had the pleasure of working with. I sincerely hate to see you leave. I am sure your success as a group will be well above average. Good luck to each one of you. 3 Board of Education SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Bill Conquergood, Bud Gullickson, Glenn Branagan, Mac Quinn, Kenneth Cnauvet. STANDING: Jerry Handl, Lloyd Marty, Ronald Upham, Marvin Osterman. This school term has been an especially busy one for the school board as they have formu- lated plans for the new elementary school to be conducted during the coming year. Before presenting their ideas to the architects, the board visited e mentary schools throughout this area to confer with other school board members, school administrators, teachers, and citizens to find out what the various communities would do to improve their structures if they were building again. As each building program is done under different circumstances, the local board found it necessary to spend nearly a day in each community to examine construction properly. After the current building program it is the hope of the board that construction will no longer occupy most of their meeting time and they can devote more time to policy matters that have been relegated to the background due to the pressing building needs the past four or five years. Numerous meetings last after midnight and some after 3:00 a.m. due to the large arrxount of business that must be handled. Some of the rural board members travel many miles to meetings and would rather extend them than have any more specials than necessary. The Big Sandy School board has a total of 123 years of experience. Mr. Gullickson, Chairman, has been on the board for 18 years. Mr. Marty has a total of 25 years, 24 of which were spent on rural boards. Mr. Osterman has served 11 years in rural areas and 5 years in town. Mr. Conquergood, Mr. Quinn, and Mr. Upham each have 14 years to theic credit. Mr. Chauvet has served 10 years. Mr. Handl and Mr. Branagan have 6 years each. Mr. Handl, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Upham, Mr. Chauvet, Mr. Marty, and Mr. Osterman all attended Big Sandy schools. Mr. Snow, clerk 4 Mr. Snow, the clerk, is a graduate of the Big Sandy High School.

To the faculty we leave the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various test papers. To the school board we leave a pile of bills and nine worn-out teachers. To Mr. Hannum we leave 26 empty lockers and the handwriting on the walls. To the Juniors we leave any bits of knowledge that we may have missed in our mad rush through high school. To the Sophomores we leave our ability to concentrate. This works on everything ex- cept school studies. To the Freshmen we leave our ability to win friends and influence teachers. The latter comes in especially handy at test time. To Mr. Peck we leave a bicycle so he won't have to walk back from drivers training rides. To Mr. Delaney we leave a pair of new overshoes with his name engraved on them. To Mrs. Maxwell we leave an insurance policyfor her car which will cover everything on the road, off the road and flying. (This also includes hay racks.) To Mr. Green we leave the English IV class and the play we never had. To Mr. Mi ley we leave a few boys for the dorm to keep him company. To Mr. Burley we leave a hay rack equipped with pontoons for the next hay ride. To Miss Hanley we leave the floor plans of the school house so she can find her lost students. To Mr. Paul we leave the noisy conversation in the hal Is. Only he can turn it into music. To Mr. Hammond we leave a raft to use the next time he goes on a sneak trip. It is guaranteed not to tip or slip. PERSONAL BEQUESTS ARE AS FOLLOWS: Dewey Lear leaves his collection of road maps to anyone who might be contemplating a trip next year.

(y President Secretary Class History Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight.... The class of 1959 looks back over an interesting 12 years spent in the Big Sandy and surrounding schools. It was in the FIRST GRADE that Jerry Martin and Gloria McNeill carried the crowns for the carnival king and queen. Mrs. Giebel was the teacher this year. This was the year that Linda Brindman got lost in the first grade room. She was helping little sister Margie get started in school. Mrs. Giebel finally rescued her and got her back to the SECOND GRADE room. Mrs. Lemieux was the THIRD GRADE teacher when Fred Kaste was sent to the office for fighting with Dewey Lear. Bill Tuffley had a drawing contest in the FOURTH GRADE. Jean Broesder wontheboobie prize for her picture but refused to take it. This was also the year Dewey Lear won a jar of candy for never being absent or tardy for the entire year. What happened, Dewey? Jerry Martin Richard Schwartz This year, FIFTH GRADE, Marcia and Marshall Kulbeck and Loren Jenkins were caught smoking weeds behind the outbuildings at the rural school which they attended. After a long and serious talk with the teacher and a note to their parents, they learned about crime and its punishment. The year they were in the SIXTH GRADE was the year they raised white mice. Mr. Smith and Mr. DeRosa were the teachers. This year Arvid Galbavy and Joyce Terry joined the class. It was in the SEVENTH GRADE that Linda Brinkman and Helen LaBuda hit Joyce Terry with a book and Joyce fainted. All three then had to clean the band room windows after Joyce had re- cuperated. Mr. Schwartz was the teacher. It was during the summer before the class en- tered EIGHTH GRADE that Sharon Peterson met Bonnie Sevick. Bonnie sat down with Sharon and started talking about boys. She never stopped. This year the rural students joined forces with the town pupils to find out what high school was about. Those who entered at this time were Bonnie Sevick, Jane Clark, Marshall and Marcia Kulbeck, Sharon Peterson, Loren Jenkins, Bob Robertson, George Drga, Richard Cook, John Jirsa, Elsie Boehm, Maribeth Pokorny, Fred Haakensen, and Marvin Osterman. It was at the beginning of our FRESHMAN year that Mr. Hammond started his job of piloting our class. He ended up as Admiral of the Lake Blaine Canoe Fleet when we were seniors. Gloria McNeill was Homecom- ing Princess this year. It was during the SOPHOMORE year that the class, the boys, learned the hard way about shooting spit wads. Jane Clark was the target. Arky went South this year. Marcia, Marshall Elsie The JUNIOR year found Fred Kaste and Bob Robertson having difficulty with English. Thev did some contemplating on this sub- ject on the long, hard bench in the office. It was during the SENIOR year that the class learned the difference between boys and girls. Boys do not go on girls' camp out trips. Eighth Grade Graduates 1 8 Sharon, Marcia, Gloria, Elsie Bob Bill Sneak Day Four o'clock on the morning of May 14 found most of the seniors in front of the school waiting for the bus that was to take them on their sneak trip. Some had stayed up all night just to make sure they didn't miss the bus—it was a half hour late. While they were waiting, several of the girls ran a lap around the track just to get in shape for the trip. The first stop was at the Gates of the Moun- tains. The boat trip through the Gates was interesting as the pilot pointed out strange forma- tions in the rocks. Some of us never did see the alligator on the cliff. After a picnic lunch, we hiked along the trails and picked up a few woodticks. The next stop was Fronfier Town near Helena where we shopped for souvenirs and visited the museum. At four in the afternoon we arrived in Missoula. We stayed at a motel near the edge of town this first night. Some of the students went to a show and others had a party. Considering the food consumed at the party, it was a miracle that some could continue the trip. It was about 10:30 this first night that a bit of laundry was done and hung on the rear view mirror of the bus to dry. Stops always mean food. George. Marshall, Fred, Jerry On our way Rich, Gloria, Sharon, Jerry, Helen, Legs unidentified. The next morning, with a little sleep tucked under our eye lids, a cold bath, and some breakfast, we were on our way north. We stopped at the Bison Range where we saw the fam- ous White Bison. We took some pictures then drove on. We stopped once again to feed candy and other leftover lunch goodies to a scraggley little deer. We then drove on to St. Ignatius where we visited the old Mission Church and admired the beautiful pictures there. After dinner at Ronan, we drove to the resort which was located on the shore of beautiful Lake Blane. Mr. and Mrs. Fciiows were our hosts and saw to it that we had a wonderful time. Ready for the boat ride. As soon as the bus stopped, the boys headed for the boats on the shore and the girls ran to the cabins to see where they were going to stay. After the cabins were assigned, the girls donned shorts and went rowing. Marcia, Fred, Sharon, and Jerry must have gone turtle hunting because they came back with several specimens. A few brave souls went swimming. The Admiral thinning the coffee he had made. 19 That night a delicious ham and fish supper was served in the main lodge. About eight o'clock every- one went roller skating. This first skating party was as good as a floor show. In fact, some of us were on the floor most of the time. At 10:30 our host built a beach fire for us and we had a weiner roast. First evidences of crime were de- tected here. It was learned that someone had short sheeted Mr. and Mrs. Hammond's bed and had put leaves in Miss Hanley's bed. Curfew that night was twelve o'clock. With the help of some of the boys and Mr. Hammond most of us got fires going in the wood burning stoves. The next morning we arose to find that it was raining but this didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the group. Hopes of getting a sun tan were gone, but we went roller skating and boating. The afternoon was spent in sleeping, ironing, playing cards, and fishing. After a delicious turkey dinner that night, Mr. Hammond brought up the subject of his little black book and some of us were a bit worried. Our host then brought out a little English motor boat. After everyone else had had a turn, Mr. Hammond went for a ride. We don't know whether he was too heavy, the lake was too rough, or he was looking for the warm springs which were supposed to be at the bottom of the lake, but the little boat threw him. Jean, Jerry, and Gloria fished him out and towed him to shore. Richard Cook and Richard Schwartz retrieved his hat. George Drga offered advice from his canoe. Mr. Hammond lost his little black book out there in the middle of the lake. Where are the cats? Arvid, Fred, Linda. Elsie, Jane and Joyce Heading north from Missoula The group went to the lodge that evening where they danced and had lunch. Everyone had a good time and pictures were taken for the annual and for other purposes. Joyce Terry loaned Mr. Hammond an alarm clock that didn't work so we almost overslept on the morning we were to leave. On the trip back, we stopped to see Hungry Horse Dam but didn't get to see much through the rain and snow. Everyone complained about the poor food on the way home. Perhaps we had been spoiled by the wonderful meals at the lodge. We arrived in Big Sandy about 4:30 Sunday after- noon just in time to change our cfothes for Baccalaureate services that evening. 20 Laundry, Joyce? Marcia-feet and bangs.

This first team lost two games to Havre and one to Fort Benton. It won two from Chinook and one from Geraldine. The lack of a good gym hindered the 1921-22 basketball team. After playing five nights in a row on a trip, the boys did nothing but decorate the floor when they played their last game against Great Falls. On this trip in the game played at Fort Shaw Captain Herschell Hurd broke his collar bone. Apparently the blizzard and the snow on the floor didn't help the Sandy team. Big Sandy made its start in track and field athletics in 1921 . Thirty boys attended the first meeting called by Mr. Moe.

The student body elects the officers for the organization and each class has a representative. The council voted to give complimentary activity tickets to the school board mem- bers, ministers, and members of the press this year. The group also sponsored the annual Christmas party for the high school and the grade school. It purchased Christmas trees for each grade school room and the high school assembly. Members decorated the high school tree and passed out the gifts. The council paid for the high school and grade school treats. CLASS REPRESENTATIVES Senior Class . Junior Class .

Ray Larson is president of the Pioneer Chapter of National Honor Society, with Carol Osterman, vice- president, and Kari Keup, secretary. Juniors and seniors may be regu- lar members of this group, and soph- omores are admitted as probationary members if they are on the honor roll three periods in succession, and maintain a B average. This year the society has sponsored a dressup day on St. Patrick's day and a school assembly featuring Pastor Carol Osterman and Frances Terry DeHaan, of the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation. Junior and sophomore members ushered at Baccalaureate and Commencement. The Color Guard which started in 1929 was perhaps the forerunner of Honor Society. This was an honor group of five students in high school who had the highest grades for a semester. Membership for three semesters earned a gold medal for a student. Members of this first group were Helen Mills, Emma Pokorny, Bertha Berg, Emma Bucholtz, and Oscar Berg. Marcia Kul- beck has carried on the family tradition of her mother, Emma Bucholtz Kulbeck, by ranking third in her class. 35 F.F.A.

BANQUET COOKS: Robertson, F F,A BANQUET President Marshall Kulbeck. Burley, and Galbavy. The 1958-59 F.F.A. year has been an active one. The year started with a hayride which 50 members attended Sept. 16. On Nov. 4 twenty-five members attended initiation ceremonies at Fort Benton. Approximately 130 people attended the Mother, Father, and Son banquet which was held Feb. 24. The Big Sandy F.F.A. was host to the District Convention on April 3 with about 180 delegates attending the meetings. On April 21 the group cooked and served the F.H.A. banquet. The 37th annual Ag Bawl held April 21 was a big success. At the convention held here, the group took third in the sweepstakes. This was followed by another hayride on April 29. On May 5 new officers were installed. The boys concluded their season with a spring pack trip near Augusta May 27 to June 1, and the State Convention at Bozeman June 3, 4, and 5. Besides the social life enjoyed in F.F.A., the boys have many other worthwhile pro- jects. Neil Kulbeck won the magazine sale contest this year. The boys also took second in the clean grain program which was conducted Dec. 8. Floyd Terry won second in the public speaking contest held at Stanford. His topic was Soil Conservation. 37 F.H.A.

This year the organization had charge of the concession stand at football and basketball games. The shop boys built the stand and painted it a striking purple and gold color. The club has done many worthwhile things with its funds. It donated $100 to the music department for a record club. The profit from the concessions and the gate receipts at the Father-Son basketball game went to the Boy Scouts. A ping pong table was bought for the gym. Profits on the concessions and the gate receipts were given to the Gildford school when Gildford played here after their school burned. 52 Cheerleaders Squad LEFT TO RIGHT: Sondra Schwartz, Marcia Kulbeck, Carol Foussard, Joyce Gillespie. 15 for Big Sandy!

In 1936 the SANDY ROUSER came into existance. 55 Annual Staff SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Elsie Boehm, Sharon Peterson, Bill Tuffley, Linda Brinkman, Jean Broesder, Marcia Kuibeck.

Linda, Bonnie, Marcia, Jean. Linda Brinkman and Bill Tuffley were co-editors of this year's PIONEER. Linda was awarded the Myers Yearbook Staff Pin. Big Sandy High School's first annual was published by the Mountaineer Print Shop here in Big Sandy in 1922. Clifford Craft was Editor. The book was named CENTENNIAL. The foreword of this book states, The name Centennial was chosen from several as the one best suited to express the spirit of the school. As Mount Centennial was a landmark for early settlers, so let this, our annual, be a landmark in our progress toward our goal. Let us unite to make our school a landmark and a guide to the generations to come. The staff of 1959 should say thank you to the staff of 1922. This first book has helped greatly in the production of the 1959 annual since much of the history presented in our book was taken from this first edition. 56 The year in pictures The three minute rush.

Detroit THE Ford Touring- car has brought to the farm homes of the country more real pleasure, comfort and convenience than per- haps any other one thing. It has enabled the farmer and his family to mingle with friends, attend church, neigh- borhood functions, and enjoy the many pleas- antries that abound in country life. Truly the Ford car with its low cost of oper- ation and maintenance, its usefulness and efficiency, has been a boon to the American farmer. Your order should be placed at once if you wish to avoid delay in delivery. $430.00 F. 0 B. Detroit Fords on, , «95.00 HU UMIYM AI IHACTOB . O . B . D C tfOl t The Ford One-Ton Truck first made its ap- peal to the farmer and the merchant because of the merits of Ford Cars. And it made its wonderful reputation and great sales record because it lived up to every claim made for it. The reliable Ford Motor, the special Ford steel chassis, the aluminum bronze worm- drive, all combine to produce a truck of un- usual power, capacity and strength a truck that lasts in service; a truck that solves the haulage problem at a very small operating and upkeep expense. Hence the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck is constantly on the increase. One man with a FORDSON TRACTOR can do more work easier and with less expense ihan two men can do with horses. This means that you with a FORDSON TRACTOR can actually raise more crops, with less work and less expense. And this means that your profits will be greater with fewer hours of work.
