In this annuaf we hope to convey the ideals, activities, and stan- dards of our school. To those who were in our midst and are now serving our country, namely, Floyd Wentz, our former Vo-Ag in- structor, and to those who left to enter defense work we hope this book will serve as a lasting memory of what took place before. We hope, soon, to see you back on the lake of memories. May this edition of Le Lac be a lasting token with which to re- awaken memories of Bigfork High School. To H. A. Veeder, organizer and superintendent of the graduating class of 1942, dedicate this, the Le Lac, in appreciation of the great services he school and our community. our schools, we, f i rst ed 11 I on of has rendered our Harold A.

Though they were worried at first, it didn't take them long to get Into the swing of things. This was proven Dy the return party given in honor of the Sophomores in October. Several Freshman en- tered into the Declamation Contest. Those entering were Mary Lee Llest, Richard Rose, and Grace BelImore. When the girls' Basket- ball Tournament rolled around the Freshman were again dismissed as being Green. They surprised everyone by beating the Juniors — the favored team that day. The game between the Freshman and Sen- iors was very close and at the finish the Seniors led by only two points. Officers for this year are as follows: president, Russell Fox; vice-president, Earl Porter; secretary-treasurer, Patsy Mulcahy; class represeotat Ives, Beverly Whaley and Billy Morton. SOPHOMORE CLASS This year when the Sophomores came back to school they were deter- mined to get even with the Freshmen and make them suffer as they had the previous year. They initiated them into the school Sep- tember 26, 1941, by making them dress as people featured in the Comics. The same evening a party was given In the gymnasium by the Sophomore class in honor of the Freshies. Only one Sophomore, Phyllis Harris, entered Declamation this year. Shirley Brown and Wanda Clark were chosen for cheer leaders to lead the school in yells at basketball games. They made the games worth attending. This year's officers were: president, Dorothy Butterfield; vice- president, Shirley Brown; secretary-treasurer, Rose Wagoner; class representatives, Colleen Robinson and Geraldine Collins. JUNIOR CLASS Juniors have been a very busy group this year and have entered in- to the school activities with much zest. One of their leading ac- complishments was the Old-Time Fiddler's Contest. The Junior Prom was an informal dance and turned out successfully. Everyone had an enjoyable evening at the Junior—Senior Banquet held at Ames' Cafe. Honorable mention must go to Mike Britton and Lloyd Fager- land for being the only two Juniors who qualified for Quill and Scroll. Also several Juniors turned out for Declamation this year; £dmund 0!8rien, Myrtle Thorstenson, and Larry Wicker. To Larry, we give thanks for his splendid cheer leading. Officers for the year were: president, Mike Britton; vice-presi- dent, Lloyd Fagerland; secretary. Myrtle Thorstenson; and class re present atives, Billy Ambrose and Lloyd Fagerland.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Future Farmers of America is an organization composed of boys en- rolled in Vocational Agriculture in high school. Advised by their agriculture instructor, they organize in a group and cooperate to carry on business, practice par Iiamentary procedure, recognize and encourage natural talents, and put enthusiasm and pleasure into work and recreation. Being a local, state, and national organization, the Future Farm- ers of America provides an opportunity for boys to attain higher offices of the organization and to develop leadership and cooper- ation among themselves and others. Some of the activities of this organization are stock judging, puDlic speaking contests, chapter contests and supervised prac- tice. The true spirit of the Future Farmers is emoodied in their motto which is, Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Learning to Live, and Living to Serve. Officers elected in our chapter are president, Francis Heath; vice-president, Douglas Potts; secretary, Lloyd Fagerland; report- er, George Wagner; treasurer, Billy Amo rose; adviser, Mr. Harry Kauffman. Last fall a revolving swine project was started by purchasing two purebred gilts. One of them was bought from our secretary, Lloyd Fagerland, and the other from L. L. Casto of Salt Lake City. These were given to two ooys who wrote the best plans for keeping the gilts. jimmy Johnson and Donald Aadsen received the gilts and in return, they will give the F. F. A. two gilts which will be given to two other boys next fall. PEP CLUB Last year the Pep Club was organized with the idea of creating more pep among the student body and the townspeople. New members are chosen each spring from the Junior Class on a basis of schol- arship, leadership and dependability. Officers chosen this year are Lucille Butterfield, president; Dorothy Fox, vice-president; and Betty Morton, secretary. Other memoers of the club are Wes- ley Barta, Claude Elton and Francis Heath. Miss Bernard is the club sponsor. This year the Pep Club sponsored a dance after the game with Poi- son; organized a pep rally before the Columbia Falls game; and inaugurated pep assemblies before each game. Shirley Brown, Wanda Clark and Larry Wicker were selected as cheer leaders. Viking heads as emblems were given to each of the members. The Viking head is the symbol of the Bigfork High School. We hope that the Pep Clubs in the future will be as active as the one this year. BAY BREEZES Bay Breezes, our high school paper, advanced several steps up the ladder of success this year. Becoming a member of the Montana interscholastic Editorial Association, an organization in which most of the high school papers of the state are members, was the most important step taken. Delegates were sent to the district journalism meeting for the first time in our history. As this Is the only paper published in Bigfork, It covers all of the nappenings of the Bay and surrounding communities. Our editor, Mary Penney, and assistant editor, Mike Britton, each month started the paper, reminding the staff of their duties. Dorothy Fox, advertising editor, assisted by Mary Penney, very diligently hustled around getting ads from the local merchants. As sports editor, Lloyd Fagerland proved very competent as did our feature writers, Jean Van Kuiken and Edmund O'Brien. Humor was handled by Myrtle Thorstenson and exchanges by Margaret Sudan. Mike Britton proved himself a capable business manager by handling all business connected with the paper. Much praise goes to our skillful artists, Shirley Brown, Colleen RoDlnson and George Wag- ner. As the monthly edition came off the press under the direct- ion of Edmund O'Brien, our official mlmeographer, our efficient distributors, Melvin Davis and Richard Elton, aelivered it to the subscribers. Our appreciation goes to our adviser, Miss Doloris Dufour, who helped in so many ways to make our paper a success. LOG CABIN HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Bigfork Log Cabin Home Economics Club derives its name from the log cabin in which our Home Economics department is located. Our club was organized in 1956. At the present time any girl in high school can join, so we have a membership of about 4-5. Regular meetings are held once a month, during school time. We have programs which will Increase our knowledge and interest in Home Economics. At Thanksgiving, Christmas and St. Valentine's Day we have parties. Money for the club is raised by food sales, candy sales and dances. Last year we earned enough money to buy a couch for the Home Economics department. This year we are fix- ing up one of the back rooms as a dressing room. Our club is a member of the State and National Association of Economic Student Clubs. The officers this year are president, Dorctny Fox; Secretary and treasurer, Dorothy Butterfield; song leader, Emily Jo Heim; sponsor. Miss Bernard. [Ns BAY BREEZES STAFF Back row: E. O'Brien, R.

S. 1 PROPHECY Lenora Anderson, standing on the platform of union Central sta- tion in Washington, D. C., saw a familiar figure coming down the Capitol steps. She gave a glad cry as she recognized Vivian bell- more. The two girls decided to have lunch together until time for Vivian's train. Lenora, who had been traveling over the country, had much news of their former classmates of 194-2. Vivian was for- merly secretary to the president of the Humane Society and was on her way to Texas to marry a famous aviator. Lenora had just come from Florida where she was visiting at the Wyman W. Well home. Billy married a fan dancer, and as a side line, ran an ostrich farm. Margaret Sudan, now a stewardess on a trans—contInentaI plane, stopped off at Washington to see Wes Barta, while the fleet is in, ventured Vivian. Yes, Lenora answered, and I saw Fran- cis Heath and Harlan Rohde In their first play together, the last time I was In New York Claude Elton Is In Washington now on of- ficial business for the Montana Forestry Department. He has Lil- lian Johnson with him as his private secretary. Wayland Davis Is working in Montana with him.

We sponsored the annual Old-Time Fiddler’s Contest and dance on March |4, 1941. in the Inter-class basketball tournament, both the boys and girls were victorious. Goof day, which was held April I, proved entertain- ing and successful. Our class program was voted best by the judges. On April 26, vve gave our most important function, the junior Star Dance, which was a big success. Our last social func- tion was the Senior Banquet given on May 13.
