The first debate was held in Big Sandy where the Chouteau County High School met defeat at the hands of Big Sandy. The Sandy team was composed of John Russell, Pearl Allderdice, and Jewel Schilling. The agriculture course in Big Sandy was established July 1, 1921. The first year animal husbandry and farm shop were offered. The course met the requirements of the Smith-Hughes laws. The first Father and Son banquet was held on Jan. 26, 1925. Nat Gains was toastmaster and Raynold Larson gave the welcome to the fathe'rs.

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.
