Billings Senior High School - Kyote Yearbook (Billings, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 182 of the 1923 volume:

I Published oij JOURNALISM CLASS 1923 The Kuote THE KYOTE OF ILLINGS FOR 1923 Greetings To the layman it might apjiear that a principal would become so accus- tomed to graduation that he would take it as a matter of course and give it little attention. Yet. I can truthfully say that this is not true with me. Each year as I line up the seniors, ready for their march to the commence- ment platform, my smiles or my scowls, as the case may l e, are forced in an effort to cover the ache in my heart as 1 think that my chances for association with another hundred or so of my cherished young people are practically at an end. With the passing of the class of 1923. this feeling will 1 more pro- nounced because this is my first class from Billings High School, the first class to graduate after spending the full four years under my supervision, and I will write it just as I would say it: “I hate to see you go.” In the energv and enthusiasm of the staff which made this book possible we see the spirit of the class typified, for the group is made up entirely of seniors. With their faculty advisor, to whom this book is justly dedicated, they have spared no effort to make their publication a credit to the class and to the school, and they have certainly succeeded. But when their ambitions along this line have l een realized, and the class of 1923 completes its work in the recitation room, we trust that they will not leave Billings Hi to its own fate, but will return often as loyal alumni to help keep alive that spirit for which the school is so widely renowned. MARIAN C. DIETRICH. Page Three To Miss Gladys Mary Smith who has been our patient advisor, wise counselor and friend, and who will always be the recipient of our best wishes and sincere regards, we dedicate this book, The Kyote for 1923.

Classes Senior Senior The young Indian’s success means many things, among them being the possession of the war bonnet, which signifies the right- ful winning of his rank in accord- ance with the old requirements of skill, resourcefulness and bravery.

As Sophomores they entered all school activities, in fact accomplished all that could ! e expected of second year classmen. As Juniors, under the able direction of Miss Sharkey, “Peg O' My Heart was presented. Their debating team defeated all the other teams in the school. The class of '24 did much to back all athletic activities. The Annual Junior-Senior Banquet is their social event of the year.

Sophomore OFFICERS William Wilcox, President Harriet Johnson, Vice-President Ray McCoy, Secretary Glen Coppo, Treasurer M iss Helen Hanna, Adviser In the fall of 1921 about one hundred and twenty-five Freshmen came trooping into High School. They soon assured the rest of the High School that they were a peppy bunch and established a reputation for themselves. And now. as Sophomores, numbering about one hundred and fifty, they have gone thru the year with the utmost enthusiasm, entering into everything with the vim and push that makes school spirit. In the future, as Juniors and Seniors, they will go ahead, taking the lead in all activities as upper classmen should.

THE K Y O T E OF BILLINGS FOR 1923 Presidents Address With the advent of the last night upon which we shall ever be gathered together as a class, it is well that we should pause for a moment, and look back over the events in the past four years which have gone to make the class of 22 what it is today—a class whose record and varied achievements will l e unequalled. Perhaps a strict observance of the class motto has, more than any other one thing, been responsible for the high degree of excellence which we have attained. I hat motto “Be square, Hit hard, and Stick”—has symbolized our every movement, whether it be on the athletic field, in the classroom, or in the field of dramatics and elocution. Some would say that we lacked originality, but it should rather be said that we dispensed with originality, to devote to our activities a greater mea- sure of perfection of detail along the established lines of endeavor. It is true, we have not tried to break away from the conventional and traditional customs of the school, but we have offset that policy of conservatism with an overwhelmingly zeal, in doing the things which have always been done, but doing them in a more thorough and more complete fashion than has ever be- fore been attempted. In observing faithfully the dictates of our motto we have first determined the merits of the project at hand, then having assumed the responsibility of its exploitation, we have never stopped, nor have we slackened our pace, until the last blow was struck, and the task was completed, a monument to our perseverance, and another page in the journal of our achievements. One glance at that journal would mark us as a class of integrity of mo- tive, aggressiveness of action, and tenacity of purpose. It is such a class, ladies and gentlemen, whose president now bids you a most gracious welcome, only to l e followed by a fond farewell. Louis B. Lundborg. '22 Class History Scene—Living Room. Time—8:00 O’clock. Curtain rises on Neva gathering books and papers together on a library table—a knock is heard. Neva goes to the door and admits Ernest Wild. N. P.—Oh! I’m glad you are here. We must get busy and write the class history. E. W.—Yes, only three nights now until class night, but the class history of such a wonderful class should not be hard to write up. Page Fifty-Nine FOR 19 2 3 N. P.—You know. Ernest, the class history really started in the pri- mary rooms twelve years ago. Friendships started there that have contin- ued. The class history began in those little groups in the Roosevelt, Mc- Kinley, Broadwater. Garfield, and others. E. W.—But the new members? N. P.—Well, we were always glad to make new friendships to welcome new members to the class. E. W.—Now to write the history (are standing by the table—now take chairs at each end. Both take pencil and paper and then look expectantly at each other.) E. W.—How shall we l egin? The executive part of the class first? N. P.—That will be best. E. W.—Executive department of the class! (Lights slowly go out as E. D. C. enters—a business looking man—then slowly come on again. As E. D. C. logins to speak, N. and E. start writing.) E. D. C.— l'he class began its organizing in room seven shortly after school opened in September of 1918. Miss Winkley was faculty advisor. Billy Cruze. Ray Covert and Laurence Babcock were the first year’s officers, 'l'he second year. Miss Winkley as advisor and Mead Wilson, Louis Lund- borg, Alice O’Malley, Bob Reid as officers, 'l'he third year. Miss Goodyear took the supervision of the class, with Fred Sanderson, Mead Wilson, Irene Rothrock and Gene Hough as officers, l'he fourth year, Miss Middleton su- pervised the class. Louis Lundborg won the presidency by a big majority. One Hough, Alpha Parham and Gene Meyers were the other officers. (Exit E. D. C. as the lights shade off. then on.) E. W.—Athletic department of the class. (Lights shade off and on. as young boy enters with football sweater and cap on.) A. D. C—The class has always been well represented in athletics. Dur- ing the freshman year Jimmy Scilley entered the class and made the 1920 championship team. 1 he class took second place in track. 1 he third year more juniors represented the class in the football squad and basketball squad. The fourth year, as seniors, Wilford Carney captained the football team, while Shine Harma led the basketball boys. This year s basketball team, with the exception of one, was all seniors. In athletics the girls of 22 have also led. The junior girls’ basketball team won the inter-class championship last year. In tennis, the class also claims many stars. In any athletic event the class has been ably represented. (Exit A. D. C. as lights—etc.—N. looks up and rubs wrist.) E. W.—Art department of the class. X. P.—That will include Dramatics, Literature and Music? E. W.—Yes. (Lights, and Art enters dressed in flowing robe; laurel wreath in hair.) A. D. C.—In dramatics the class led all the other classes. With the pre- Page Sixty THE K V O T E OF BILLINGS FOR 1923 ' - — — sentation of their junior class play, “Stop Thief.” the public awoke to the dramatic merits of the class of ’22. The junior vaudeville presented at the country fair last year was half the show. Sophomore talent showed in “Miss Cherryblossoms,” while juniors equaled the seniors last year in the“Gypsy Rover.” The senior play, “The Fortune Hunter.” was the first class play to he presented at the Babcock. It was the “success of successes.” In Literature, the class claims many rising orators, authors and poets. The seniors swamped the American Literature and Journalistic classes of this year. They led the school in debating and extemporaneous. Even while freshmen, the class was noted for its declamatory merits. In music, the class led in instrumental music rather than in vocal. From freshmen, up. it has been taking more than its share in orchestra, string or- ganizations, glee clubs and other musical organizations. (Exit A. D. C. Lights, etc.) N. P.—Social life of the class. (S. L. C. enters—lights.) There were no freshmen parties, as no parties were allowed, in 1918. A Sophomore party, with lots of fun, marked the second year. The first social event of the third year was the junior mixer. This was one of the most suc- cessful parties ever held in the B. H. S. The Junior-Senior masquerade fol- lowed shortly. In the spring the class of ‘22 entertained the class of ‘21 at the Commercial Club at a dinner dance. The Senior mixer started the fourth year off—again followed by the Junior-Senior masquerade held in the new gymnasium. May 29 the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Commercial Club and this concluded the social life of the class of 22. (Exit S. L. C.—Lights.) Thomas Huxley says. “The chief purpose of an education is to train the mind and the will to do things you have to do. when they should be done, whether you want to do them or not.” This motto appears on the clock in the office downstairs, and can W taken literally as a basis for the conduct of students in this school. The daily routine is carried on in as informal a man- ner as possible. Students are permitted to follow their own initiative as long as they do not abuse their privileges. Each one is on his own responsibility in getting to classes on time, for he is the one who loses if he is late. In the study room, although there is faculty supervision, he is left to study as he chooses in as far as he shows himself worthy. Usually after April first the privilege of coming to school during class periods only is granted to seniors. At dismissal students are not required to march out in line as is done in the grades. The class activities, such as debates, plays and class athletics, call for each student to support his own class, even though he is not particularly in- Minor Frictions Page Sixty-One terested. So we see that each one is expected to do, on his own responsibility, what he has to do, whether he likes it or not. This same plan is followed, to a marked degree in the modern home. The up-to-date conception of home training is to teach the youthful members of the family to become adaptable—that is, with as little direction as possible, to overcome the minor frictions that are caused by the continual contact of the various persons under one roof. The ideal modern home is one in which there is harmony among the members of the family, each one having his own re- sponsibilities. Small irritations often cause much unhappiness in the family. A good illustration of minor frictions occurs in the story, “A Source of Irri- tation ’ by Stacy Aumonier. Here the chief character, Sam Gates, an old man wedded to the soil, is continually irritated by having his small niece ask him for news when he leads a very uneventful life. A very amusing instance of this kind is related in Warner’s “Life’s Minor Collisions.” Thomas, in his father’s absence, undertook to answer a telephone call, while Barbara in the next room corrected his mistake. All went well until the lady at the other end of the wire asked a question at the same time that Barbara offered a new thought. “What did you say?” inquired Thomas. Both Barbara and the lady repeated. “What is it?” said Thomas, waving one foot at Barbara. Barbara, not seeing the foot, repeated, and so did the lady—this time more distinctly. “I beg vour pardon,” said Thomas anxiously, but what did you sav?” Again the thing hapj ened, until Thomas in des- peration shouted to his sister. “Shut up!” Needless to say, Barbara was cured, at least temporarily. Another member of this same family took great delight in reading aloud to the others any choice bit of literature he happened to find. This he did re- gardless of time or circumstances. He was finally cured by having every one in the family read aloud whenever he began. These are merely instances of the kind which anyone familiar with family life could relate, one after another, occurrences annoying at the time, but usually ludicrous in perspective. Of course, we all realize that as long as human beings associate with each other, petty annoyances will exist. If. however. Thomas Huxley’s defini- tion of education continues to be followed, or is followed to an even greater extent, there will be fewer apparent reactions to these minor frictions. Bernice Jensen Salutatorian of Class of 1922. B. H. S., Billings, Montana, June 15, 1922. Page Sixty-Tivo Activities Ath etics The national pastime of the Red Man is the hoop contest between dans. As the hoop rolls from one dan to another it is met with pre- cision by an arrow on its edge. These stalwart, eagle eyed braves gamble much on the outcome of this test of excellent marksman- ship. Football The football team of 22 went thru a very successful season. Although we dropped games to Livingston. Miles City and Great Falls, we won all the rest by a large margin. Coach Daylis had, in the team of 22, nearly all new or raw material to deal with, but due to his tactics of everlasting fight, fight, fight, fight, and clean playing the local aggregation was fast in learn- ing the game. We succeeded in allowing the state champs to cross our goal only twice during the game. The score of 13—0 does not show how undecided the game was until the final whistle, which checked the undying hopes of the Orange and Black. From the beginning, ami throughout the entire season, Coach Daylis had three teams out for practice every evening. Too much credit cannot be given to the second team, for its coming out night after night, knowing there was no hope of glory or honor that comes to the first string men, but by their self-sacrifice and determination, they whipped the first team into shape and made it what it was. By the loss of only two men—Petrie and Wendte—from the regular line-up. Coach Daylis will be able to organize a team that will have unlimited prospects in the football world of 1923. The Orange and Black grid warriors piled up a score of 134 points against 46 points for their opponents.

His open field running was the feature of the season and It caused much favorable comment from opposing coaches and players. Also he was a whiz” at tackling. Time and again, after an opposing back had broken loose from the Billings line men, Chuck would down him inside of five yards. With his heady playing, he is in line for an all-state position next year. Hubert Davies, Hub” Right Half Hub was one of the most consistent play- ers on last year’s team. His self-sacrific- ing team work was noticeable throughout the season. His splendid interference made possible many open field runs. Hub could always be depended upon to take his man out of play. Gerald Williams, Jug,” Pullback Jug, a new and inexperienced man. was one of Coach Daylis’ best students and it was not long before Jug learned his posi- tion perfectly. George Cruse, Tink, End Although Tink came out late and only played in two or three of the games dur- ing the season, he showed through a very rapid development that he would make an exceptionally good end. He was very good on the defense. He always watched the plays of the other teams and was never sucked in or fooled by a trick play. Carl Blair, Blair Blair was badly crippled during the first part of the season but showed up w-ell to- ward the end. He was a hard hitting, all around utility man. He could play any position on the team equally well. Harry Petrie, Center, Petrie” Although very inexperienced along the line of football. Petrie played a very good game. His work in the Butte game proved that he had learned the fine points of the center position, and our only regret is that he will not be here to play on the fcotball team of ’23. Lee Alains, Lee,’ Right Guard With the experience which he gained on this year’s team we are expecting that Lee will make an excellent guard next year. He plays an aggressive game and he showed a marked improvement during the later part of the season. He played his best games against Great Falls, Sheri- dan and Casper. Stuart Beeman, Stew,” Left Guard Due to inexperience, in the first part of the season Stew was a little slow, but as he learned the fundamentals of football his speed and aggressiveness increased until in the later part of the season he fought like an old and experienced warrior. Paul Behrendt, Pauly,” Left Tackle Pauly started as center but as his ability at tackling increased he was placed at a tackle position. There he succeeded in stopping a large share of the plays that his opponents sent on his side of the line. Pauly made the second all-state team this year and we are hoping that he will be an all-state man next year. Jack O’Hara, ScrapironRight Tackle In Scrapiron” Coach Daylis had a man who believed in clean and hard fighting. Jack w'on the name of Scrapiron on the football field by his superior methods of fair play. Alvin Wendte, IVeinie,” Right End Weinie,” another hard-fighting man, greatly strengthened the right side of the line. He played an aggressive game all thru the season, but due to injuries re- ceived in the Lewistown game, while mak- ing a spectacular tackle, he was excluded from play for the rest of the season. Alabon Cornwell, Alabon ” Left End Although Mabon was a new man at the game of football, thru strong determina- tion and clean fighting, he won his posi tion. Coach Daylis could not have picked a better wing man. We expect him to show his qualities on the 1923 gridiron. Forrest Peters, Frosty ” Quarterback Coach Daylis surely knew his man when he picked Frosty” to run the team of '22. Frosty w’as one of the coolest, headiest players in the state. Beside his initiative ability his spectacular playing was espec- ially noticeable in every game. Clayton Towne, Tarzan,” Fullback, Captain-elect Tarzan’s aggressiveness on both the of- fense and defense w’on for him confidence both from the coach and football fans. If there were a few more yards to gain he could be depended upon to pile the line for the necessary yardage. He adapted himself very easily to a backfield position. He w’ill be an ideal captain to lead the Orange and Black grid warriors next year. Other men of the squad who deserve all credit were: Jay Holly, “Jay”; Edward Mullowney, Eddie”; Elliot Kobelin. Crackers ; Winfied Page. Windy ; Odd Winther, Odd ; Orvid Wlnther, Even ; Joe Rooney, Rooney”; Paul Torrence, Paul ; Clarence Peterson. Yink”, and William Bergen, Bill.” m Page Sixty-Nine THE KYOTE O F BILLINGS FOR 1923 Basketball The basketball season of 22-23 was a very successful one. The Orange and Black team was only defeated once during the entire season, winning 10 out of 11 games, not including the tournament games.

He made and developed a team that was the dark horse of the State Tour- nament. Frosty Peters. Left Forward—Captain Of all men who have captained B. H. S. Basketball teams, we can think of no cleaner playing, harder fighting fellow, or one who had a more uncanny ability to score at diffcult times than Frosty. He was considered by many to be an all-state man and was picked by referees at the state tournament as such. Next year Frosty will probably hold down an all-state position. Hubert Davies. Right Forward, fHub Hub was not a flashy player, but his fight and speed made him a very valuable man to have on the team. He seemed able to keep going as fast when the final gun went off as when the game started. He played especially well in the district and state meets. Mabort Cornwell, Utility Whenever a substitute was needed, Mb- bon filled any position on the team with exceptional ability. He made all other men on the squad work hard to hold down their positions. With a little more experience, which was the only thing Mabon lacked last year, he will be able to hold down a permanent berth on the squad next year Charles Phythian, Center. Chuck'' In the pivot position, the game centered around Chuck. He played this important position exceptionally well. Time and time again he would defy the five-man defense by his spectacular long shots. Harold Walker, Guard, Halie Starting on the second team. Coach Day- lis found in Halie a speedy and reliable guard. He always had the confidence of the basketball fans in his guarding. Clarence Peterson, Guard, Yink No better man could have been chosen for the running guard than Yink. With his spectacular left handed dribble he was able to deceive the opposition. Many times he would shoot through the opponent’s de- fense and score when points were needed. Stewart Berman, Utility, Stew Due to injuries received in football, Stew' was unable to play in the first part of the season, but in the latter part of the year Stew' proved himself worthy of a berth in the Hoopsters aggregation. He played a strong, defensive game, winning the con fldence of the basketball fans. asdpc Page Seventy-One Hie Billings High School track team won first place for the second time in the Second Invitational Track Meet held at Big Timber, May 4. I he eight men who represented the B. H. S. at the track meet at Big Timber were: Sweetman. Captain: Peters, Williams, Bergin, Blair, O’Hara. Phythian, and Rothwell. Sweetman not only won individual honors at Big Timber but he broke the unofficial state record for the 100 yard dash. In the State Track Team held at Missoula. May 10 and 11, the Billings High succeeded in eliminating 79 other contestants in winning her position of eleventh place. The relay team was only beaten by two inches. The five men who represented Billings were: Sweetman, Peters. Bergin. Williams, and Phythian. Page Seventy-Two B The Intra-Mural League The Intra-Mural League was organized in 1022 by Mr. Dietrich for the purpose of offering to the boys of the school as many opportunities as possible for playing basket-ball. This year there were sixteen teams, divided into an “A and “B” division, and a schedule was arranged in such manner as to allow each team to play every other team once. Silver loving cups were of- fered for each division and individual watch fobs were given to the meml)ers of the winning teams. Team Number 2, captained by (Jerald Williams, with Abe Zacks, Arvid Winther, Frank Dorner, Lyle Herbst, Owen Barnes and Dick Chappie making up the rest of the members, won the V division, while Team Number 3, consisting of (Jeorge Breck. captain: Crawford Beck- ett. Everett Farrell. Harold Bohlander. David Simmons and Howard Ager walked away with the “B” cup. The League is becoming more popular every year and is proving to l e a great factor in building up future championship l asket-ball teams. Page Seventy-Three Qir s’ Bas Miss Bertha Ries coached the four girls' basketball teams thru a very interesting and lively season. Far greater enthusiasm was shown this year than ever before. Preliminary games were played and in the final tourna- ment the Juniors were victorious, after a close fight with the Sophomores.

On account of the number of contestants this year it was necessary to choose class teams. Interclass debates were then held, and the Junior team was the winner. DECLAMATION As usual, the students of B. H. S. turned out with good spirit for the declamation contest. Of the thirty people who signed up. twelve were chosen for the finals. All the selections were excellent, but Elizabeth Gregg was unanimously chosen by the judges for first place. EXTEMPORANEOUS Among the many contestants in extemporaneous, twelve members were chosen. Of these Ivan Caraway received the unanimous votes of the judges, and was one of the first eight chosen in the state.

Page One Hundred Thirty-Fire Sugar Facts Sugar has been an article of commerce since about the middle of the fourteenth century, when the art of refining was discovered. Sugar cane was first mentioned as the “Sweet Sticks of the East and supposed to have originated in India. In 627 A. D. sugar formed part of the spoils secured by the Byzantines when they connuered Persia and from that time it spread rapidly westward, reaching Spain in 755 A. D. Beet roots were brought to Bohemia after the fall of the Roman Empire. In 1605 Oliver De Serres, the famous French Agronomist, became convinced that beets contained sugar. In 1747 the Prussian Chemist, Marggraf, obtained sugar crystals from beets ex- perimentally. In 1799, Franz Karl Achard, chemist, a pupil of Marggraf. made loaf sugar from beet juice in an experimental plant and invented a process of extracting sugar from the beet. In 1801 the first beet sugar factory in the world was completed at Cunern, Silesia. In 1838 Edward Lee Church erected the first beet sugar factory in the United States at Northampton, Massachusetts, and produced the first beet sugar to be made in America. In 1870 E. H. Dyer erected in Alvarado, California, the first factory in the United States which made a commercial success of producing sugar from beets, and from that time the sugar industry has progressed to an industry representing hundreds of mil lions in factory sites, buildings and machinery, producing a very large percentage of the sugar consumed in the United States and today is a big factor in the world sugar production. In 1840 the world produced 1.000.000 tons of sugar from cane and 45,000 tons from beets; in 1910-11 it produced 9,432.118 tons from cane and 9,587.588 tons from beets, a total of 19,019,706 tons; in 1913-14 the total product amounted to 21,057.954 tons. The production of beet sugar has decreased since 1913-14 due to the world’s war and the unsettled conditions that have prevailed since, but is steadily coming back and within the next few years will be back to normal. To a community the Beet Sugar Industry means something more than an enter- prise, giving employment to hundreds, it brings to the agriculturist a crop of tremen- dous profit possibilities and price stability. In 1906 the Billings factory of The Great Western Sugar Company was established and it represents this community’s largest industrial enterprise. It distributes its pro- duct in Montana. Wyoming, North Dakota and Minnesota, and this year will finish the refined product from more than 23.500 acres of beets grown in the Midland Empire. Great Western Sugars have '‘QUALITY” which is the most important essential of any product. Patronize a Montana Industry and use Great Western sugars, as they analyze 99.98% pure, and in so doing you are boosting a home institution. The Great Western Sugar Company Billings, Montana.

To lie really successful, it must in a measure reflect the spirit, the en- ergy, the loyalty and the enthusiasm of the student body which sponsors it. With such an end in view, the Annual StalT has labored long and arduously, and if, after reviewing this work, our readers are convinced that the year of 1922-23 has been the l est in the his- tory of old Billings High, we shall feel that our object has been partially accomplished. But if, by any chance, we have been able to show that with the present year as a foundation, we are at the beginning of the greatest era that Billings High has ever known, we close the book, content to have chronicled this year of 1923.
